School locks down

GOOD MORNING New stop sign going up at Metz Road, S.R. 1 intersection METZ — A new stop sign will be erected on S.R. 1 Thursday. Starting this week, weather permitting, the Indiana Department of Transportation will turn the intersection of Metz Road and S.R. 1 into an all-way stop. There is currently a stop sign on eastbound and westbound Metz Road. The new initiative will also stop traffic coming from north and south S.R. 1, which connects with the town of Hamilton via S.R. 27 to the south and crosses over U.S. 20 to the north. Stop signs, stop bars painted on the road and stop-ahead signs will be erected Thursday. After the signs are in place, all traffic on all approaches will stop before entering the intersection. The change is a result of a traffic study completed by INDOT that reviewed the traffic patterns, as well as the crash history at the intersection, said a news release from INDOT.

James bridge might see light BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Possible lighting for the Steuben County bridge over Jimmerson Creek at C.R. 300W is being investigated by Steuben County Highway Engineer Jennifer Sharkey. Sharkey was asked to look into lighting on the bridge by Steuben County Commissioners Tuesday after a variety of Americans with Disabilities Act improvements were discussed for the four corners at Lake James and in Pleasant Lake. At issue was creation of handicap ramps on sidewalks in Pleasant Lake and the four

corners at Lake James. There is much pedestrian traffic at the four corners, much of which travels over the bridge between dock sites and Lake James and Jimmerson Lake businesses. In addition to ramps, lighting for the bridge for the safety of pedestrians at night was suggested by an audience member. “Would you like to explore that possibility,” Commission President Ron Smith asked Sharkey, who agreed to the task. Lake James resident Bill Schmidt and Crooked Lake area resident George Pifer suggested taking the lighting beyond typical

street lighting and make it decorative to enhance the busy intersection and bridge that is traversed by many lake visitors. “I think there’s a lot of things you could do,” Smith said. “You could make it a landmark,” Pifer said. When told about the discussion, June Julien, Steuben County Tourism Bureau executive director, said such work would be welcome. “Aesthetic improvement to infrastructure enhances our visitor experience,” Julien said. There wasn’t a time line given for Sharkey to report back to commissioners.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Blue II, the English bulldog who gained national fame as the Butler mascot during its run to NCAA championship games in 2010 and 2011, has died. The university announced Tuesday that the 9-year-old dog died Saturday from complications from congestive heart failure. He was 9 years old. Blue appeared on the floor of every Butler men’s basketball home game, select away games and at the 2010 and 2011 Final Four games. Michael Kaltenmark, the mascot’s caretaker, says, “Blue really galvanized the pride and tradition of having a live mascot at Butler.” Butler retired Blue II from mascot duties on May 20.

Armed man was seen walking near Fremont Schools campus BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — Fremont Community Schools went on lock down Tuesday afternoon after a report of an unknown person walking nearby with a shotgun. Fremont Police Department received multiple reports of the person walking on West Street, which goes through the school campus. Fremont Community Schools Superintendent Lori Vaughn said Fremont Town Marshal Joe Patterson acted quickly in contacting the school and getting law enforcement presence to the area. Fremont High, Middle and Elementary schools went into code yellow lockdown at 3:07 p.m. The schools had dismissed and buses had left. “What we had were athletes in the buildings,” said Vaughn. Along with any after-school programs, sports teams were doing drills and preparing for evening activities. “We decided just to go ahead and cancel practices,” said Vaughn. A middle school home volleyball game against DeKalb was also canceled. The middle school football team SEE FREMONT, PAGE A6

for military intervention at the committee’s hearing. Kerry had said earlier in the hearing that he’d prefer not to have such language, hypothesizing the potential need for sending ground troops “in the event Syria imploded” or to prevent its chemical weapons cache from falling into the hands of a terrorist organization. “President Obama is not asking America to go to war,” Kerry said in a strongly worded opening statement. He added, “This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.” Obama said earlier in the day he was open to revisions in the relatively broad request the White House made over the weekend. He expressed confidence Congress would respond to his call for support and said Assad’s action

ANGOLA — The boat ramp at Crooked Lake is going to remain at its current location. As part of improvements at the Steuben County Park, where the county owns and operates a boat ramp, work on the launch is included. Steuben County Parks Superintendent Eric Ditmars said he has been in discussions with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, which does permitting and siting of ramps and public access sites. Of the alternatives presented, keeping the ramp where is currently is was seen as the best solution. “That would be the best for us, the cheapest for us, to rebuild the ramp where it is,” Ditmars said. After last year’s drought, many boaters at Crooked Lake reported problems with the ramp. With lowered lake levels, boat trailers would get hung up at the end of the ramp because their tires would drop off the edge. Commissioner Ron Smith said one of the main goals of the new ramp would be to make it larger and deeper. There were other alternatives that would have included moving the ramp to other county-owned property near the existing facility, which is part of the Steuben County Park. One hangup might be over mooring the county offers near the ramp, but that might be grandfathered in as pre-existing under DNR rules. By building a new ramp in the current location the county would

Boehner joins president in supporting strike on Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama gained ground Tuesday in his drive for congressional backing of a military strike against Syria, winning critical support from House Speaker John Boehner while administration officials agreed to explicitly rule out the use of U.S. combat troops in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack. “You’re probably going to win” Congress’ backing, Rand Paul of Kentucky, a conservative senator and likely opponent of the measure, conceded in a late-afternoon exchange with Secretary of State John Kerry. The leader of House Republicans, Boehner emerged from a meeting at the White House and said the United States has “enemies around the world that need to understand that we’re not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies

around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up when it’s necessary.” Boehner spoke as lawmakers in both parties called for changes in the president’s requested legislation, rewriting it to restrict the type and duration of any military action that would be authorized, possibly including a ban on U.S. combat forces on the ground. A new resolution was written Tuesday by Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn. It could get a vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday. Menendez is the chairman and Corker is the top Republican on the panel. “There’s no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground,” said Secretary of State John Kerry, one of three senior officials to make the case

ANGOLA — An Angola man was arrested Monday morning after Angola police were drawn to his home by the smell of smoke coming from the backyard. Billy Lee Harman, 50, allegedly had an unauthorized fire in his backyard in the 400 block of South Superior Street. Police obtained a search warrant after observing “peculiar behavior” by Harman, said a news release from APD. While officers found an alleged meth lab in the garage along with drug

paraphernalia, meth and marijuana, formal charges filed in Steuben Superior Court include Class D felonies for possession Harman of meth and maintaining a common nuisance and misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. Class D felonies carry up to a three-year prison sentence. Angola Police initially booked Harman on a Class A felony drug manufac-

turing charge. The Indiana State Police Clandestine Laboratory team assisted in the site cleanup along with the Steuben County Health Department. The residence was condemned until it can be cleaned of any meth residue. The Steuben County Humane Society removed four dogs from the home. Harman’s attorney, Linda Wagoner, appeared Tuesday afternoon in Steuben Magistrate Court and waived initial hearing on the new charges. A pretrial conference is scheduled for

Oct. 21 in Steuben Superior Court and a jury trial is currently calendared for Oct. 31, the same dates as a pending case. Harman can post a $500 bond for his release from Steuben County Jail, with the condition he have no drugs, paraphernalia or meth-making precursors. During Tuesday’s hearing, deputy prosecutor Travis Musser noted that those stipulations had been entered in a 2012 case alleging meth dealing and manufacturing, and that it is possible his bail could be revoked in that case.

MORE HELP

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Steuben County Commissioners have assigned a couple departments with the task of preventing farm irrigation systems from watering roads and their users. “That’s got to be addressed. It’s too dangerous,” Commissioner Jim Crowl said. Commissioners talked about irrigation systems at a few particular sites in the Pleasant Lake area that were spraying water on roads. On the paved roads,

commissioners said, people driving everything from motorcycles to convertible cars were getting hit with walls of water. On a gravel road, damage reportedly is occurring from erosion caused by the spray of water. Steuben County Sheriff Tim Troyer said unauthorized spraying of county roads probably came under state law and was something his deputies could enforce. Troyer likened spraying roads to unauthorized dumping of materials on roads, such as when a

private dump truck loses part of its load. Commissioners asked Troyer and Ken Penick, highway superintendent, to first talk with farmers about not spraying county roads. The impression was given that action would be taken if the watering of roads continued by those who had been talked with by sheriff’s and highway officials. The number of agriculture irrigation systems is growing in Steuben County and will probably continue. “We’re going to have

more of it,” Crowl said. Information from the Steuben County Lakes Council said there were approximately 90 irrigation systems in operation in Steuben County. This year saw the addition of some 46 new systems. The article in the summer edition of “Bobber Watchin’” attributed the rise in irrigation systems to a reaction to last year’s severe drought. Most of the irrigation systems draw their water from ground water supplies as opposed to from streams, like Pigeon Creek.

Musical is Saturday FROM STAFF REPORTS

AUBURN —The Auburn Arts Commission will present the musical production, “I Love a Piano” this weekend at the Cupbearer coffee shop, 138 E. Seventh St., Auburn, as part of Pianos on the Square.

Regional Roundup • Fort Wayne hotels could face tougher health standards FORT WAYNE (AP) — Hotels and motels in the Fort Wayne area would face new health and safety standards under a proposed ordinance drafted in response to visitors’ complaints about bedbugs, damaged rooms and other problems with local lodging. The proposed ordinance would require annual inspections, with each site being graded based on the number of violations. Sanitation standards would be clearly defined, and hotel and motel guests could easily access the grading system results. An increase in complaints about lodging conditions makes now a good time to act even though the issue was first discussed about five years ago, said Mindy Waldron, department administrator for the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health.

Four people are rescued from Lake Michigan after boat sinks PORT OF INDIANA — Indiana Conservation Officers rescued four people who were floating in life jackets Monday about one mile offshore in Lake Michigan. Officers responded to a 911 call and located Savino Garbuno of Plainfield, Ill., and his three children about 12:30 p.m. The four were in the water for about one hour before they were rescued. They were taken to the Portage Marina, where they were checked and released by the Emergency Medical Service. Conservation Officer Guy Wendorf discovered a bilge plug missing in the hull of Garbuno’s boat, which caused the watercraft to fill with water.

Capitol Police officer charged with molesting girl, 11 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A Capitol Police officer is on leave after being charged with molesting an 11-year-old girl in a swimming pool. Indiana State Police spokesman Capt. Dave Bursten said Tuesday that 43-yearold Scott Litten of Anderson is on paid administrative leave but will be placed on unpaid leave if a hearing establishes probable cause that he committed a felony. Litten was initially charged with sexual battery in Johnson County south of Indianapolis, but a charge of felony child molesting was filed after the girl told child protection workers he fondled her Saturday night.

Dems try to show they’re above gridlock COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — As Democrats try to curtail GOP dominance in the South, the party’s top recruits for 2014 elections are trying to sell themselves as problem solvers above Washington’s partisan gridlock. They’re casting the Republicans’ anti-government mantra and emphasis on social issues like abortion and gay marriage

as ideological obstacles to progress on “bread-andbutter” issues like public education, infrastructure and health care. That goes beyond their usual effort to distance themselves from President Barack Obama and national Democrats, and it’s the closest thing the Democratic Party has to a unified strategy in the region beyond simply

waiting for demographics to shift in the long term to ensure they can compete with Republicans. Minority growth in North Carolina and Virginia, and the influx of whites who aren’t native Southerners, has heralded Democratic victories in recent years, and Democrats want to make similar inroads in changing states like South Carolina and Georgia.

So Democratic candidates for governor and the U.S. Senate hope to hasten the transition away from Republican rule by emphasizing their own Southern roots and focusing on local issues and outcomes. “I am a lifelong resident of a small town in South Carolina who is disgusted with Washington,” said Vincent Sheheen, who will

NEW YORK (AP) — The prospect of U.S. military action in Syria was again the focus for Wall Street on Tuesday. Stocks surged in the opening minutes of trading as worries of an imminent attack on Syria appeared slimmer after President Barack Obama announced over the weekend that he would seek congressional approval for a strike. The stock market then gave up its gain after the top Republican in Congress said he would support President Obama’s call for the U.S. to take action. Speaking in the late morning, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said the use of chemical weapons must be responded to. “Key Republicans seem to agree with Obama on Syria,” said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for TD Ameritrade. “It puts us in a difficult situation as to what might happen from here.” The Dow Jones industrial average was down 17 points, or 0.1 percent, to 14,785 as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Dow was dragged lower by Microsoft and Verizon, which both slumped after announcing deal news. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained two points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,634. The Nasdaq composite climbed eight points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,598. The stock market also got an early boost from a report showing that U.S. manufacturing expanded last month at the fastest pace since June 2011. Stock indexes rose sharply when the market opened. The Dow rose as much 123 points, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed 18 points. In corporate news, CBS surged $2.34, or 4.6 percent, to $53.44 after the broadcaster and Time Warner Cable reached an agreement that ended a blackout of CBS and CBS-owned channels such as Showtime on the cable provider. Microsoft fell $2.07, or 6 percent, to $31.36 after the software company said it would pay $7.2 billion to acquire Nokia’s smartphone business and a portfolio of patents and services.

ANGOLA â€” Freedom Academy is hoping to electrify Angola with a new location. The Angola Common Council approved a month-to-month lease with Freedom Academy Inc., Kendallville, at Tuesdayâ€™s regular meeting. The lease will be for a location the city purchased which was the former Angola Lumber Co. property, 306 W. Mill St. Initially, Freedom Academy will use the city-owned property rent for classroom purposes. Under the proposed lease, the city will not make any alterations within the premises, but will pay utility fees. In addition, Angola will make all repairs to the the property. Eventually, Mayor Dick Hickman said, the city would like to end up in a situation where at least utilities are covered by

hundred miles away, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged caution. He said any punitive action against Syria could unleash more turmoil and bloodshed, and he advised that such strikes would be legal only in self-defense under the U.N. Charter or if approved by the organizationâ€™s Security Council. Russia and China have repeatedly used their veto power in the council to block action against Assad. In the Middle East, Israel and the U.S. conducted a joint missile test over the Mediterranean in a display of military might in the region. Obama set the fast-paced events in motion on Saturday, when he unexpectedly stepped back from ordering a military strike under his own authority and announced he would seek congressional approval. Recent presidents have all claimed the authority to undertake limited military action without congressional backing. Some have followed up with such action. Obama said he, too, believes he has that authority, and House

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said during the day that even Congressâ€™ refusal to authorize the president wouldnâ€™t negate the power of the commander in chief. Still, the president also has stated that the United States will be stronger if lawmakers grant their support. But neither Obama nor his aides has been willing to state what options would be left to him should Congress reject his call. As Obama has often noted, the country is weary of war after more than a decade of combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there is residual skepticism a decade after Bush administration claims went unproven that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Additionally, a spate of polls indicates the public opposes a military strike against Syria, by a margin of 59-36 percent if the United States acts unilaterally, according to a new Washington Post-ABC survey, and a narrower 46-51 if allies take part. Among major allies, only France has publicly offered to join the United States in a strike.

Healthy Indiana given extension INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â€” The test run of an Indiana program aimed at providing affordable health care to otherwise uninsured adults will be extended by a year as officials continue negotiating with the federal government about using it to expand Medicaid, Gov. Mike Pence announced Tuesday. As part of a deal with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Pence administration will lower the amount residents can earn before they qualify for the state-run Healthy Indiana Plan while pushing more residents into the federal health insurance exchange. State leaders are trying to persuade CMS that the program should be used for the Medicaid expansion called for under the new federal health care law, and the deal buys them more time. Pence re-submitted former Gov. Mitch Danielsâ€™ request earlier this year that HIP be used for an expansion of Medicaid and has spent the past month touting the program. â€œI believe that securing the waiver to continue the Healthy Indiana Plan is a victory for Hoosiers enrolled in this innovative program,â€? Pence said.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence announces that the state has negotiated with the federal government for an extension of the Healthy Indiana Plan through 2014, to cover uninsured Hoosiers.

As part of the federal approval, the state will cut in half the income cap for eligibility from 200 percent of the federal poverty level to 100 percent. For a single adult, that means the new limit is earning $11,500 a year. Residents earning up to $22,300 already enrolled in the program will have to seek private insurance. The move will allow the state to add a few thousand more residents to the program but is not expected to put a significant dent in the roughly 50,000 residents on the waiting list to enroll.

Briefly • Yankees’ comeback downs White Sox NEW YORK (AP) — Eduardo Nunez’s two-run double capped a five-run eighth inning that rallied the New York Yankees past Chicago 6-4 on Tuesday night for a crucial victory as they chase an AL playoff berth. Derek Jeter got the Yankees started on a vintage comeback, and pinch hitter Curtis Granderson tied the score with an RBI single. New York, which began the day 2½ games out of a wild-card spot, won for the 12th time in 14 home games to improve to 16-7 in its last 23 overall. Alexei Ramirez hit a two-run triple and Alejandro De Aza homered to build a three-run lead for All-Star Chris Sale, but the last-place White Sox couldn’t hold it. They dropped their fifth straight to start a 10-game trip against AL East contenders. Sale was cruising along with a 4-1 lead until Jeter singled with one out in the eighth and Robinson Cano drove a 1-2 pitch off the left-field fence for a double — the third extra-base hit off the ace by a left-handed batter all season.

AHS upsets 3A No. 5 Falcons ANGOLA — Angola’s volleyball team opened up Northeast Corner Conference play with one of its biggest victories in a long time, upsetting Class 3A No. 5 Fairfield three games to one. The scores were 25-23, 26-24, 13-25, 25-21. “We did it as a team,” Hornets coach Trisha Perschke said. “We served, we played defense and we attacked. We had unbelievable play from every single player on

the floor. “Going into each game, we don’t want to the girls to really think about anything else other than playing our game and to play like we know we can play. I couldn’t say we were confident going in. But the confidence started the gradually build over the first two games and we convinced ourselves we can do this.” The Falcons broke the momentum by winning game

three and put the Hornets in a hole in game four. However, Angola rallied to cap off the first varsity volleyball win over Fairfield in at least several years. Junior Claire Grubb had nine kills, six digs, three aces and two block assists for AHS (3-6, 1-0 NECC). Junior Lauren Henderson added nine digs, six kills, two aces, two solo blocks and two block assists. Junior Brookston Perschke had 22 assists, six

digs and two aces. Senior Tori Yagodinski drew special praise from Coach Perschke as the middle hitter had five kills, four digs, two block assists and one solo block. “Tori came through with a shining effort,” Perschke said. The Hornets also had 13 digs and two aces from Paige Emke and five kills from sophomore Kaitlyn Brandt. Fairfield is 4-1, 1-1.

KENDALLVILLE — With Kaleb Williams in goal, one score was enough. The East Noble goalkeeper came through with a shutout performance on Tuesday, leading the Knights past No. 7 ranked DeKalb 1-0. “It’s amazing, one of the best wins in all my four years,” Williams said. “They were looking to stay undefeated — we beat a team ranked in the top 10 in the state.” The contest was very physical. Each team received a yellow card and the Barons had one red card. “This was the old DeKalb-East Noble rivalry,” Williams explained. “It’s always going to be a scrappy, physical game. That’s what it takes to pull out a game like tonight.” The Knights scored the lone goal of the contest less than four minutes into the game. DeKalb spent the rest of the contest attempting to put a shot past Williams. No one had any success. “They got that goal up front and played with

BOSTON (AP) — Jon Lester outdueled Max Scherzer and the Boston Red Sox beat Detroit 2-1 on Tuesday night, ending the Tigers right-hander’s chance to become just the second pitcher to open a season with a 20-1 record. Lester (13-8) lowered his ERA to 1.71 in his past six starts. He allowed one earned run and eight hits with a season-high nine strikeouts and no walks. Scherzer (19-2), who won his first 13 decisions, lost for the first time since July 13 when the Texas Rangers beat him 7-1. Roger Clemens is the only pitcher to start off at 20-1 and ended up 20-3 with the New York Yankees in 2001. Rube Marquard was the only other pitcher with a 19-1 record, but lost his next decision in 1912 with the New York Giants. Boston scored on Will Middlebrooks’ two-run single in the fifth after Detroit’s Jose Iglesias doubled in a run in the second in the matchup of division leaders. Koji Uehara pitched the ninth for his 17th save in 20 opportunities and extended his scoreless streak to 25 innings as Boston won for the eighth time in 10 games. The Tigers lost for the second time in six games despite the return of Miguel Cabrera, who missed three games with abdominal and groin problems. Last year’s Triple Crown winner and this year’s AL leader in batting average and RBIs went 0 for 4.

Kelly recognizes ND-Michigan rivalry BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly reversed fields on Tuesday, calling the Fighting Irish series against Michigan “a great and historic rivalry.” The proclamation in the opening statement during his weekly news conference was contrary to what he said during a teleconference Sunday, when he said: “I really haven’t seen it as one of those historic, traditional Notre Dame rivalries,” going on to call it a “big regional game.” Many Notre Dame fans probably agree more with his

statement Sunday, considering the Irish have played Navy (86 games), Southern California (84), Purdue (84), Michigan State (76) and Pittsburgh (68) far more often than the 40 times they’ve faced the Wolverines. But nationwide, outside of the annual Notre Dame-USC game, few of the other rivalry games get the same attention as the Fighting Irish vs. the Wolverines. The scrutiny Kelly’s statement Sunday received is proof of that. After all, it’s Michigan’s winged helmet against Notre Dame’s golden helmets; “Hail to the Victors” vs. the “Notre

Dame Victory March;” the school with the best all-time winning percentage in college football (Michigan, at .735) vs: No. 2 (Notre Dame, at .734). The series started pleasantly enough, with Michigan students traveling to South Bend in 1887 to teach Notre Dame students how to play the game. The relationship turned sour after Notre Dame beat the Wolverines 11-3 in 1909, ending an eight-game losing streak. The game was canceled the next season when the Irish wouldn’t play without two players Michigan contended were ineligible.

It escalated when Yost and Rockne had a dispute at a track meet in 1923, and then Yost urged Big Ten teams not to play Notre Dame and several other independents because he said they didn’t follow the Big Ten’s strict eligibility rules. After Rockne died and Yost retired, the two schools agreed to play each other in 1942-43. The SEE ND-MICHIGAN, PAGE B2

Indians beat Orioles CLEVELAND (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez pitched six shutout innings while Yan Gomes and Asdrubal Cabrera drove in two runs apiece, and the Cleveland Indians survived a shaky ninth inning for a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Jimenez (10-9) has allowed three earned runs or less in eight consecutive starts. The right-hander held Baltimore to four hits and worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth. Gomes’ two-run double was the key hit in Cleveland’s sixth. Cabrera had sacrifices flies in the fourth and sixth. Orioles starter Chris Tillman (15-5) allowed four runs in 5 1-3 innings. The right-hander has one win in his last six starts. The Orioles got back in the game in the ninth against Indians closer Chris Perez, who pitched in a non-save situation. Nate McLouth’s three-run homer followed singles by Nick Markakis and J.J. Hardy to start the inning. McLouth homered on a 3-2 pitch. Perez struck out Brian Roberts and Manny Machado.

Jack Swarbrick handed Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon a letter on the field before last season’s game, canceling scheduled games in 2015-2017. In May, Michigan coach Brady Hoke told a luncheon

crowd in Grand Rapids in May that Notre Dame was “chickening out of the series.” Kelly said he hasn’t spoken to Hoke about the series since Notre Dame announced it was ending it,

but said he doesn’t believe Hoke meant any disrespect. “He’s never been one to show disrespect to anybody or anything. It’s really, for me, about two programs that share a border, that it makes sense to play. I get that,”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Serena Williams wins U.S. Open quarterfinal 6-0, 6-0 NEW YORK (AP) — From an ace on the first point to a stinging return on the last, Serena Williams was close to perfect in the U.S. Open quarterfinals. The score said it all Tuesday night: 6-0, 6-0. Yes, Williams is looking better and better with each match at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. With two more wins — no matter the exact scores — she’ll earn a fifth title at Flushing Meadows and 17th major championship overall. The No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Williams shut out 18th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain, the first “double bagel” in a quarterfinal at Flushing Meadows since 1989, when 18-time major title winner Martina Navratilova did it to Manuela Maleeva. Williams won 53 of 71 points and dominated pretty much every statistical category. The first set took all of 19 minutes. The second was slower, lasting 33 minutes, but no less lopsided. That might be bad news for her opponent in Friday’s semifinals, 2011 French Open champion Li Na of China. When Williams did face a break point forAfter their quick-as-can-be match, defending men’s champion Andy Murray went into Ashe to face 65th-ranked Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan in the fourth round, with the winner to face No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland. A day after his Davis Cup teammate and friend, Roger Federer, lost, Wawrinka reached his second U.S. Open quarterfinal by beating No. 5 Tomas Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runner-up, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (6), 6-2 in Louis Armstrong Stadium at night. In the afternoon, top-seeded Novak Djokovic won 45 of 53 service points while eliminating 43rd-ranked Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 in a grand total of only 79 minutes. Djokovic, who won the 2011 U.S. Open and lost in last year’s final to Murray, reached his 18th consecutive major quarterfinal. Next up is a match against 21st-seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, who was two points from defeat but came back to edge two-time major champion Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 7-5. Earlier Tuesday, the fifth-seeded Li needed nearly 2½ hours to get past 24th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2. The quarterfinals on the other half of the draw are Wednesday: second-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus against 48th-ranked Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia.

Golfing great Nancy Lopez has book deal NEW YORK (AP) — Golfing great Nancy Lopez has a book deal. Lopez has an agreement with HarperOne, a division of HarperCollins Publishers, for a memoir scheduled to be published in June. HarperOne announced the deal Tuesday and says the book is currently untitled. The 56-year-old Lopez will write of her lifelong involvement with golf, from her first set of clubs at age 8 to her dozens of tournament victories and rise to international fame. HarperOne promises previously unknown details of her public and private life, including her 27-year marriage to baseball star Ray Knight. They divorced in 2009.

Colts continue fine-tuning roster as opener looms INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis promoted tight end Dominique Jones to the active roster and signed rookie tight end Justice Cunningham to the practice squad Tuesday. The moves came shortly after the Colts traded rookie linebacker Caesar Rayford to the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional draft pick. Rayford led Indy with five sacks in the preseason. Jones played in four games and made one catch last season with Indy but was waived Saturday. Cunningham, the final pick in April’s draft, was released Monday after Indy acquired linebacker Cam Johnson in a trade from San Francisco. Indy now has two “Mr. Irrelevants” on its practice squad — Cunningham and quarterback Chandler Harnish. Earlier Tuesday, Indy released rookie safety John Boyett, a sixth-round pick, one day after he was arrested on three charges including public intoxication. According to a police report, Boyett ran away from the police when they tried to arrest him and repeatedly shouted that they couldn’t arrest him because he was “a Colts player.” He also is accused of making fun of a police officer and threatening to come back and “break his jaw.” Boyett was on the non-football injury list as he tried to recover from injuries to both knees. He apologized to the police and the Colts on Twitter. “I want to apologize to Mr. Irsay @ JimIrsay , the Indianapolis Colts organization @Colts and the Indianapolis police,” he wrote, referring to Indy’s team owner. “The Colts gave me an opportunity and I blew it. My behavior didn’t and doesn’t represent who I am. I am deeply embarrassed and disappointed in myself. All I can do now is learn from it and never repeat it. I look forward to showing my true character in the future.”

pice. Bath salts. What have deviant pharmacological types come up with next to mess with people’s minds? It’s called Molly. According to the drugfree.org website, Molly is a powder or crystal form of MDMA — the drug used in Ecstasy. Molly is considered to be the pure form of MDMA. Network newscasts have been filled with reports about the drug of late, including a couple of deaths at a music festival that caused authorities to cancel the last day of the festival. “The Drug Enforcement Administration considers MDMA to be a Schedule I controlled substance,” according to the website, “which means it has a high potential for abuse, and no accepted use in medical treatment. The DEA notes that MDMA can cause confusion, anxiety, depression, paranoia, sleep problems and drug craving. The drug also can cause muscle tension, tremors, MATT involuntary teeth clenching, muscle cramps, nausea, GETTS faintness, chills, sweating and blurred vision.” Muscle cramps? Paranoia? Depression? Good grief. High doses of the drug can interfere with the ability to regulate body temperature, the website continued, resulting in a sharp increase in body temperature, leading to liver, kidney and cardiovascular failure. Severe dehydration can result from the combination of the drug’s effects and the crowded and hot conditions in which the drug is often taken, the DEA reports. The drug has become popular at dance clubs in major cities, but has also found its way into northeastern Indiana, according to a detective with the Indiana Multi Agency Group Enforcement Task Force. The drug has Drug The detective said become popular he had heard a couple of reports at dance clubs of Molly use in Noble and DeKalb in major cities, counties. “We have heard but has also about it,” the detective said. “We found its way have not bought any locally.” into northeastern Sometimes, being on the slow Indiana. end of popular trends is a good thing. It’s a shame the drug exists at all. It really shouldn’t come as any surprise, however. Since the first caveman stubbed his toe on the first rock, human beings have craved an escape from pain. In fact, we have a pain reliever for just about any malady. No one is suggesting that people should endure high levels of needless suffering, but life isn’t about avoiding pain, it’s about learning to cope with it. We don’t like to cope. We want the quick fix. And if the old fix isn’t fast enough or doesn’t last long enough, there is a some greedy drug type willing to cook up a batch of something. “It’s one thing after another,” the IMAGE detective said. We want drugs to make us everything we aren’t, even if it just might destroy us in the process. It makes one wonder if the evolutionary process stopped about 1950 and we have been going downhill ever since. Parents, talk to your kids. Watch them, listen to them, help them understand that in life there are no quick fixes. An escape? These drugs are a trap.

Letters to The Editor • Rep. Pond’s service made state better To the editor: Some of you might remember an article that ran at the very beginning of the 2013 legislative session highlighting Representative Phyllis Pond and myself as the longest-serving Republican representative and the youngest representative, respectively. The intro of “the tried and true alongside the fresh and new” was accurate and catchy, starting my time at the Statehouse off on a positive note. At the end of my first year in office, I find myself in the position of sharing some sad news with you, news that means change is in the winds. Rep. Pond has announced her resignation from the Indiana House of Representatives due to health issues, ending a 35-year legacy of hard work and dedication to our community. Her history of great leadership, sage advice and solid legislation means that whoever replaces her will have some very large shoes to fill. Rep. Pond once told me to listen more than I speak. Those are some of the best words of wisdom I ever received from another legislator. As simple as that sounds, it actually holds great weight — especially since we are elected to act as the voice of our districts. I look to Rep. Pond as a mentor and have always taken her counsel seriously. She has seen our state through the bad times and the good; through being in the minority and the majority — multiple times; through poor economic conditions and times of plenty. Rep. Pond helped our state go from good to great — a place we’re in today in partly because of her. The speaker of the House described Rep. Pond as a pillar of strength for our state. I wholeheartedly support that statement, especially when looking back over what she was able to accomplish during her tenure. From lowering class sizes to helping minority students attend law school to setting a great example for women legislators, Rep. Pond has put her mark on Indiana. Our state was bettered through Rep. Pond’s service, and I thank her sincerely for all the time and

energy she poured into her work. I hope that when she reflects back on her time at the Statehouse, she remembers it fondly and knows just how much she will be missed. Dave Ober State Representative District 82, Albion

Teach manners to children when opportunities arise To the editor: I want to share something that I witnessed in Pleasant Lake this past week. I was at the gas station in this small town and a lady with an elderly man was cleaning the windows on her vehicle. Those of you who live near here know it is a small station. A rude guy pulled up and started harassing this lady, who was halfway through cleaning her windows, wanting her to move so he could get to the pump. I was appalled at the lack of manners this person had. I was also sad that this man’s mother did not teach him better manners. He was in his 60s at least. I know that at this time manners were taught. I have four brothers. One of them would have offered to finish cleaning her windows for her. As would one of my five children, three boys and two girls. If I found out one of my children talked to this lady the way this guy did, I would paint their back porch red! Then I thought … what is it like to live with this guy? If he has any females living in his house, wife/ daughters … how does he treat them? I am certain if this person was willing to harass a perfect stranger, he is much worse with females in his household. I also witnessed a man in a red truck calling a woman names at the Meijer gas pumps because she didn’t pull up far enough in his opinion so he could get to the pump behind her. REALLY? Is this how moms raise their boys in this area? I took these situations as an opportunity to remind my children that this type of behavior is totally wrong. Wish other mothers did the same.

War-weary president reflects: Spill more blood? WASHINGTON — The president is up early, already showered and preparing to shave. Wiping steam from the mirror, he grimaces slightly at his image. Obama: Good grief, I look old. So much gray. Mirror: Aw, lighten up, Bo, it makes you look distinguished. You can’t wage war without a few streaks of worry showing in your KATHLEEN face and hair. PARKER (Obama hits his megawattsmile switch.) Even my smile looks old. And by the way, Bo is the dog. I am Barack Obama. I am the president of the United States, leader of the free world … Keep telling yourself that, buddy, and maybe you’ll be able to believe it. All the other presidents managed to. Buddy was also a dog. What’s your problem? Nothing, just trying to keep you grounded. So what’s it going to be, Mr. Red Line? You going to go it alone? What the hell?! What is wrong with David Cameron? I can’t count on anybody!

•

(Obama nicks his chin.) First, John Boehner can’t get those tea party nitwits to do anything — anything! — and now the Brits won’t go with me to Syria. Where’s Tony Blair when you need him?! Probably making a pilgrimage someplace. Maybe I should become a Catholic, too. Then I can say, oops, I guess I was wrong, but, you know, I did what I thought was best. I’m not sure Cardinal Dolan would go for that after you, ahem, misled him on the whole religious liberty thing. But, hey, at least you’ve got the French. Ah oui. Assad must be terrified. But, yeah, Blair and Bush didn’t even have WMD. We at least know that Assad has chemical weapons and used them against his own people. You’re stuck with those images, buddy. Oh, sorry. Have you heard from Colin? Nooooooooo. (Chuckles.) Maybe he could help. I must be sick. Suddenly I want to talk to W, the poor slob. He got saddled with yellowcake. I’m yoked to red line. Why are we always talking in primary colors? I feel like an idiot. I’m not a war president! I’m an end-the-war guy. I’m a drone striker, not a missile cruiser. I just wanted to heal the sick, help the poor and maybe shift a tide here and

there. I feel like I’m going to throw up. All those kids. Oh my god. (A woman’s voice penetrates the closed bathroom door.) Michelle Obama: Barack, what are you doing in there? Your steel-cut oatmeal is getting cold. Did you want some fair-trade organic blackstrap molasses on that? Barack? Barack? OK then, I’ve got a mani in five. I’ll just leave it on your dresser. Don’t forget to take your Male Supreme tonic. And your bloodroot and burdock root. Oh, hey, Dawn! I didn’t hear you come in. So I’m thinking blue shellac. Crazy, right? President: MehmehMEHmehmehmeh-meh. Mirror: Look, Mr. President, you’re much too hard on yourself. Read your own lips: No good options. You probably shouldn’t have drawn the red line, sure, but who knew Assad would go there? And by the way, let’s enjoy a moment of irony, shall we? Your Republican pals? You know, the ones who were in a swoon over shock and awe, suddenly they’re the ones urging caution? Now they’re the ones who want U.N. approval? Suddenly THEY need absolute proof that Assad used chemical weapons. Where

was this skepticism when we invaded Iraq? Rich. Well, if we learned anything from that fiasco, it’s that no matter how noble our intentions going in, we can’t control what happens the day after. And whatever worse is, worse will happen. It’s that damned red line. Why can’t I just say, look, all I said was there would be consequences and that Assad would be held accountable? That doesn’t mean I have to bomb Syria and possibly ignite a global war. Russia, Iran, Hezbollah — they’d love it. Better that I overstated a bluff than that I spill more blood and possibly enter into yet another endless war with people who will hate us no matter what. Without international support. … Who knows where it will end? But the children, Mr. President. Those images. The suffering. 100,000 dead. Your credibility. I know, I know.

Microsoft set to challenge Google, Apple

Worker awarded $30,000 after boss calls him N-word NEW YORK (AP) — In a case that gave a legal airing to the debate over use of the N-word among blacks, a federal jury has rejected a black manager’s argument that it was a term of love and endearment when he aimed it at black employee. Jurors awarded $30,000 in punitive damages Tuesday after finding last week that the manager’s four-minute rant was hostile and discriminatory, and awarding $250,000 in compensatory damages. The case against Rob Carmona and the employment agency he founded, STRIVE East Harlem, hinged on the what some see as a complex double standard surrounding the word: It’s a degrading slur when uttered by whites but can be used at times with impunity among blacks. But 38-year-old Brandi Johnson told jurors that being black didn’t make it any less hurtful when Carmona repeatedly targeted her with the slur during a March 2012 tirade about inappropriate workplace attire and unprofessional behavior. Johnson, who taped the remarks after her complaints about his verbal abuse were disregarded, said she fled to the restroom and cried for 45 minutes. “I was offended. I was hurt. I felt degraded. I felt disrespected. I was embarrassed,” Johnson testified. The jury ordered Carmona to pay $25,000 in punitive damages and STRIVE to pay $5,000.

Glare from building melts part of Jaguar LONDON (AP) — Motorists may want to think twice about parking in front of the half-built London skyscraper known as the Walkie-Talkie. That’s because the glare off the skin of the new building is so intense that at least one Jaguar owner says it caused part of his vehicle to melt. And that’s not all: Locals say the building’s heat also burned a hole in the welcome mat of a barber shop across the street. “We were working and just saw the smoke coming out of the carpet,” said shop owner Ali Akay. “This is a health and safety issue. They should have looked into this before they built it.” Similar problems have plagued other modern buildings, including in Los Angeles, when neighbors of the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall reported heat buildups.

People • Couric, boyfriend plan to be married NEW YORK (AP) — Katie Couric is getting married to her financier boyfriend John Molner. Couric’s spokesman Matthew Hiltzik confirmed the engagement Tuesday morning following a report by People Couric magazine. Molner gave 56-year-old Couric, the former host of “Today,” a diamond ring over the weekend in East Hampton. Molner, 50, is a partner at investment firm Brown Brothers Harriman, who oversees mergers and acquisitions advisory work for the firm’s corporate clients. The couple have dated for nearly two years. Couric’s husband Jay Monahan died in 1998 from colon cancer. She is the mother of two daughters, now 21 and 17. Her talk show, “Katie,” starts its second season on Monday.

In this long-exposure photo, police vehicles open the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge to traffic Monday in San Francisco. At the modest inaugural ceremony, the new, self-anchored

suspension bridge with its single, white tower was praised as a dramatic safety upgrade over its predecessor and a beautiful example of public art.

Cars cross new bay bridge SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — There was little fanfare, but the gleaming white and newly built $6.4-billion eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened to the public as vehicles began crossing it after more than a decade of construction delays. Part old and part new, part permanent and part temporary, the hybridized bridge opened late Monday night in time for Tuesday’s morning commute. The opening followed a five-day closure for the entire bridge. Drivers began lining up their cars hours earlier in an attempt to be among the first on the new span, and CHP officers led a line of vehicles across at about 10:15 p.m. several hours before the estimated opening time and the expected commuter crunch of the beginning of the work week on Tuesday. The new span replaces a structure that was damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which struck as millions tuned in to watch Game 3 of the “Bay Bridge World Series” between the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants. The replacement span is designed to withstand the strongest earthquake estimated by seismologists to occur at the site over a 1,500-year period. “Despite the journey’s length, it has been completed before the arrival of our next big earthquake,” said Steve Heminger, executive director of the Metropolitan Transportation

Commission. “And thank goodness for that.” The bridge’s pedestrian and bike sections were set to open later Tuesday. At a modest inaugural ceremony, the new, self-anchored suspension bridge with its looming, single white tower was praised as a dramatic safety upgrade over its predecessor. It also was held up as a beautiful example of public art. “I hope this is more than just connecting two land masses,” said Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. “I hope that the progress that’s being represented at this moment is for a generation to dream big dreams and to do big things.” Newsom, the former mayor of San Francisco, cut a chain with a blow torch to mark the opening after leading those gathered around the bridge’s toll plaza in a countdown to the reopening. Plans initially called for a public celebration with fireworks, a concert, a half-marathon and more than 100,000 pedestrians crossing the bridge. Instead, after years of delays and cost overruns, the opening of one of the state’s most expensive public works projects was marked with a relatively low-key event that did not even include the governor. “The project inspired me, challenged me, frustrated me and today, after seeing the final product, it impresses me with its beauty, its grace and its strength,” said

Brian Kelly, who heads the state’s transportation agency. Gov. Jerry Brown, who was closely involved in planning the bridge when he was mayor of Oakland, was out of town and unable to attend the ceremony, said his spokesman, Evan Westrup. The entire bridge closed Wednesday night so crews could do final work, and they were still striping, putting up signs and putting down roadway markers Monday, said bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon. Some barrier railing also needed to be installed. The new section of bridge has been under construction for almost a decade and follows years of political bickering, engineering challenges and cost overruns. James Ghielmetti, a member of the California Transportation Commission, said at Monday’s ceremony that the bridge should not have taken so long to go up. “California must do a better job going forward on all of our public works projects,” he said. In March, more than two dozen rods used to anchor the roadway to important earthquake safety structures cracked after they were tightened. The discovery threatened to delay the bridge’s opening by months. The bridge opened with a temporary fix for the broken rods while the permanent repair, expected to be completed in December, is being installed.

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) — Microsoft Corp. is buying Nokia Corp.’s line-up of smartphones and a portfolio of patents and services in an attempt to mount a more formidable challenge to Apple Inc. and Google Inc. as more technological tasks get done on mobile devices instead of personal computers. The 5.44 billion euros ($7.2 billion) deal announced late Monday marks a major step in Microsoft’s push to transform itself from a software maker focused on making operating systems and applications for desktop and laptop computers into a more versatile and nimble company that delivers services on any kind of Internet-connected gadget. Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Wash., is being forced to evolve because people are increasingly pursuing their digital lives on smartphones and tablet computers, causing the demand for PCs to shrivel. The shift is weakening Microsoft, which has dominated the PC software market for the past 30 years, and empowering Apple, the maker of the trend-setting iPhone and iPad, and Google, which gives away the world’s most popular mobile operating system, Android. Nokia, based in Espoo, Finland, and Microsoft have been trying to make inroads in the smartphone market as part of a partnership forged in 2011. Under the alliance, Nokia’s Lumia smartphones has run on Microsoft’s Windows software, but those devices haven’t emerged as a popular alternative to the iPhone or an array of Android-powered devices spearheaded by Samsung Electronics’ smartphones and tablets. Microsoft is betting it will have a better chance of narrowing the gap if it seizes complete control over how the mobile devices work with its Windows software. “It’s a bold step into the future — a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies,” Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said in a statement. The acquisition is being made at the same time that Microsoft is looking for a new leader. Just 10 days ago, Ballmer, 57, announced he will relinquish the CEO reins within the next year in

a move that many analysts regarded as Microsoft’s tacit admission that the company needed an infusion of fresh blood to revitalize itself. The deal could fuel speculation that Nokia’s CEO, former Microsoft executive Stephon Elop, will emerge as a top candidate to succeed Ballmer. Elop will step aside as Nokia’s president and CEO to become executive vice president of Nokia devices and services in preparation for joining Microsoft once the acquisition closes. Chairman Risto Siilasmaa will stay in his current role and assume the duties of interim CEO. Microsoft hopes to complete the deal early next year. If that timetable pans out, about 32,000 Nokia employees will transfer to Microsoft, which currently has about 99,000 workers. The proposed price consists of 3.79 billion euros ($5 billion) for the Nokia unit that makes mobile phones, including its line of Lumia smartphones that run Windows Phone software. Another 1.65 billion euros ($2.2 billion) will be paid for a 10-year license to use Nokia’s patents, with the option to extend it indefinitely. It will represent the second most expensive acquisition in Microsoft’s 38-year history, ranking behind an $8.5 billion purchase of Internet calling and video conferencing service Skype. Tony Bates, who ran Skype, is also regarded as a potential successor to Ballmer. The money to buy Nokia’s smartphones and patents will be drawn from the nearly $70 billion that Microsoft held in overseas accounts as of June 30. Microsoft expansion into mobile devices hasn’t fared well so far. Last year, the company began selling a line of tablets called Surface in hopes of undercutting Apple’s iPad. The version of Surface running on a revamped version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system fared so poorly that the company absorbed a $900 million charge in its last quarter to account for the flop. Nokia plans to hold a news conference in Finland on Tuesday morning to discuss the deal. Microsoft executives will elaborate on their rationale for the deal shortly after Nokia wraps up its presentation.

Grandma weighs decision to sever ties with daughter DEAR ABBY: Two years ago one of my granddaughters was molested by her mother’s (my daughter’s) then-boyfriend, whom they were living with. When the girl’s father found out, he called the police and the man was arrested, tried and convicted. Abby, while he was out on bail, my daughter married him! She doesn’t believe the molestation took place. If I were in her shoes, I would certainly believe my 8-year-old daughter over a boyfriend about something so damaging. I cut off contact with this daughter, as did her sisters. She occasionally calls my husband (who is not her father) when she wants something, and I have received a few texts, which I ignore. Am I doing the right thing? I sometimes feel

THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM

Two aids needed to help with hearing loss sounds that we hear enter both of our ears. (There are exceptions: If you rub two fingers together just outside your right ear, virtually all of the sound from your fingers is being processed just by that ear.) When a sound enters ASK both of our DOCTOR K. ears, each ear sends its version of sound Dr. Anthony that to the brain. e brain Komaroff Th interprets the sound by processing the signals from both ears, and it does a better job of processing the sound when it’s getting signals from both. For example, the brain can pick out important signals,

like voices, and interpret what those voices are saying even when there’s a lot of background noise. If you’re wearing just one hearing aid, even though you have hearing loss in both ears, your brain may have a harder time distinguishing voices from other sounds in a noisy place. It may also be harder for the brain to identify the location of particular sounds. The brain normally does this by comparing the relative loudness and frequencies of the sound signals that are coming into both your ears, as well as how long it takes them to travel through the ears. But the brain can’t locate a sound as well if sound signals are always louder through one ear. Another advantage of wearing two hearing aids is that you can set each of them at a lower volume than if you wear just one. And lower

DEAR DOCTOR K: I am losing my hearing, and my doctor wants me to get two hearing aids. Is this really necessary? DEAR READER: If you’re like most people with hearing loss, it’s probably taken some time to accept that you need a hearing aid at all, let alone two. If you have hearing loss in only one ear and normal, or nearly normal, hearing in the other, then one hearing aid is all you need. But most people have hearing loss in both ears, especially age-related hearing loss. In that case, research and experience suggest that you’ll be more satisfied with two hearing aids. When you have two hearing aids, you can take better advantage of the way the brain processes sound through what’s known as “binaural” hearing. With normal hearing, most

guilty, but it angers me that she didn’t stand behind her daughter and has made no effort to see DEAR either of her ABBY girls over the past two years. I see often Jeanne Phillips them because their dad knows I stand with the girls 100 percent. — GRANDMA IN OHIO DEAR GRANDMA: The answer to your question depends upon why your daughter hasn’t seen her children in two years. If it’s because their father won’t allow it, then her estrangement from her daughters isn’t her fault. If it has been her choice, however, then stop feeling guilty.

volume means less feedback and distortion of the sounds around you. If you’re still not sure that you want or need two hearing aids, ask your doctor if you can use two on a trial basis. Under this arrangement, you would be fitted with two hearing aids, and then, over a period of several weeks, you would decide whether you hear better with one or two. Since I graduated from medical school, hearing aids have not only become better; they also have become much smaller. Many of my patients who needed hearing aids 30 years ago wouldn’t wear them because they were unsightly. Today, almost all of my patients who need hearing aids have them. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoctorK.com.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013

Nyad feeling strong after Florida-to-Cuba swim KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — The clocks Diana Nyad uses to time her training swims show that she’s a slower swimmer than she used to be. That’s only natural: At age 64, she acknowledges she is no longer the “thoroughbred stallion” she was “back in the day.” And yet, the endurance athlete says she felt stronger than ever when she completed her successful effort to become the first person to swim 110 miles from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. “Now I’m more like a Clydesdale: I’m a little thicker and stronger — literally stronger, I can

lift more weights,” Nyad told The Associated Press in a one-on-one interview Tuesday, a day after she finished her 53-hour, record-setting swim. “I feel like I could walk through a brick wall. … I think I’m truly dead center in the prime of my life at 64.” Nyad isn’t alone among aging athletes who are dominating their sports. Earlier this year, 48-yearold Bernard Hopkins became the oldest boxer to win a major title, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision over Tavoris Cloud to claim the IBF light heavyweight championship. Tennis player Martina

Navratilova played in the mixed doubles competition at Wimbledon in her late 40s, and hockey legend Gordie Howe played in the NHL in his 50s. Thousands of U.S. athletes, including 60-yearold Kay Glynn, also compete during the Senior Olympics. Glynn, of Hastings, Iowa, has won six gold medals in pole vaulting at the Senior Olympics and set a new pole vaulting world record for her age in the 2011 National Senior Games. Older athletes tend to find more success in endurance events than power events such as sprinting and other sports

that rely on “fast- twitch” muscle fibers, which are more difficult to preserve later in life, noted Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko, a physiologist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. But just because Nyad was swimming rather than pounding her joints against the concrete doesn’t mean she didn’t achieve a remarkable feat, Chodzko-Zajko said. “This ultra, super-length swimming is brutal regardless,” he said, adding that another reason athletes are able to endure is because they often train smarter and have a mental concentration that is well honed over decades.

“She’s one of any number of people who are redefining what happens with aging,” said Dr. Michael J. Joyner, an anesthesiologist and exercise researcher at Mayo Clinic. “If you start with a high capacity, you have some reserves,” Joyner said. “You can lose some absolute power, but what you lose in power you can make up for with experience and strategy and better preparation.” Nyad first attempted swimming from Cuba to Florida at age 29 with a shark cage. She didn’t try again until 2011 when she was 61. She tried twice more in

the past two years before beginning her fifth attempt Saturday morning with a leap off the seawall of the Hemingway Marina into the warm waters off Havana. She paused occasionally for nourishment, but never left the water until she reached the white sand beaches of the Keys and waded ashore. Nyad says her age and maturity should not be discounted when measuring her most recent success. “It’s not so much the physical,” she said. “To my mind all of us … we mature emotionally … and we get stronger mentally because we have a perspective on what this life is all about,” Nyad said.
