ISTEP glitches downplayed Review: Problems had no measurable affects on scores INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Glitches that disrupted Indiana’s online standardized testing this spring had no measurable negative impact on scores, even though at least one-sixth of students taking the exam were kicked offline at some point, according to an independent review released Monday.

Lost kayakers rescued on river WINAMAC — An Indiana Conservation Officer rescued four kayakers who had become lost and stranded Saturday night on the Tippecanoe River, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said. The kayakers made a 911 call requesting assistance at 10 p.m., the IDNR said. They were uninjured, but unable to continue down the river due to the darkness. Indiana Conservation Officer Jeff Richwine recognized the described landmark they were near, launched his boat and discovered the kayakers approximately one-half mile upstream from the state park canoe camp.

Warnings remain after weekend drownings MICHIGAN CITY — Rip current warnings were still in effect on Lake Michigan for much of the day Monday following two weekend drownings, according to news reports. Lonnie Fisher, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in North Webster, told the South Bend Tribune a beach hazards statement warning about the high risk for rip currents was first posted Friday afternoon and was due to expire Monday afternoon. In Beverly Shores, Gonzola Silva, 37, of Lafayette died Saturday after being caught in high Lake Michigan surf at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Earlier Saturday, 15-year old Matthew Kocher from Tinley Park, Ill., was pulled out of the water by New Buffalo, Mich., lifeguards.

Emails show charter’s score led to overhaul
600N Friday morning, when the male with whom she was arguing feared she was about to batter him, court records said. The alleged victim tried to reach a phone to call 911 for emergency assistance, but Fulkerson allegedly blocked him physically from making the call, court documents said. The victim was able to make the call later, court records said. No other charges have been filed against Fulkerson Fulkerson in the incident. Appearing in court Monday via video conference from the Noble County Jail, Fulkerson testified that she is unemployed. A public defender was appointed to defend her in the case.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Indiana and current Florida schools chief Tony Bennett built his national star by promising to hold “failing” schools accountable. But when it appeared an Indianapolis charter school run by a prominent Republican donor might receive a poor grade, Bennett’s education team frantically overhauled his signature “A-F” school grading system to improve the school’s marks. Emails obtained by The Associated Press show Bennett and his staff scrambled last fall to ensure influential donor Christel DeHaan’s school received an “A,” despite poor test scores in algebra that initially earned it a “C.” “They need to understand that anything less than an A for Christel House compromises all of our accountability work,” Bennett wrote in a Sept. 12 email to then-chief of staff Heather Neal, who is now Gov. Mike Pence’s chief lobbyist. The emails, which also show Bennett discussed with staff the legality of changing just DeHaan’s grade, raise unsettling questions about the validity of a grading system that has broad implications. Indiana uses the A-F grades to determine which schools get taken over by the state and whether students seeking state-funded vouchers to attend private school need to first spend a year in public school. They also help determine how much state funding schools receive. A low grade also can detract

Commissioners focus on C.R. 415N BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — C.R. 415N was at the center of two discussions Monday for the Noble County commissioners. The road, known as Lisbon Road in some sections, will be resurfaced between S.R. 3 and C.R. 1000E this fall, and a four-way stop at its intersection with C.R. 1000E will become a two-way stop if commissioners approve the change. The road is heavily traveled and in bad shape, Noble County highway superintendent Mark
Goodrich told commissioners Monday. It needs more than just a repair job, and more than just an application of chip-and-seal. Goodrich plans to have the highway department remove the road surface and put down pavement this fall. The commissioners took no official action on the proposal, since none was required. Plans also include resurfacing C.R. 600S between C.R. 50W and U.S. 33 next year, he said. Commissioners also requested Goodrich to begin plans to resurface C.R. 300S between C.R. 500E and
the DeKalb County line in 2014. Noble County highway engineer Michael Fitch presented commissioners with a traffic study showing the four-way stop at the intersection of C.R.s 415N and 1000E should be a two-way stop, with the stop signs on C.R. 415N remaining. “C.R. 1000E acts as a through road and should be treated that way,” Fitch said. The intersection has been a four-way stop for more than 20 years, and probably had nearly equal traffic on both roads when the signs were installed, Fitch said.
But traffic studies now show C.R. 1000E carries more than double the traffic that travels along C.R. 415N, Fitch said. Sight distances at the intersection are several times what is necessary for through traffic. Fitch said he plans to put signs on the stop sign posts on C.R. 415N reminding people that cross traffic doesn’t stop. The commissioners voted 3-0 to approve advertising the change. A public hearing on the proposal will be held at a later date. Also Monday, commissioners: • signed a mutual-aid
agreement for emergency services with 10 other area counties in the event of a disaster. The mutual-aid agreement is required to receive Federal Emergency Management Agency funds in the event of an emergency, Noble County Emergency Management Agency executive director Michael Newton said. Noble County is part of District 3 for state emergency management, Newton said. The agreement is among District 3 counties. Other counties in District 3 are LaGrange, DeKalb, Steuben, Allen, Wells, Adams, Whitley, Miami, Wabash and
Huntington, Newton said. • learned that state law now requires a $50 penalty be assessed to people who skip a scheduled meeting with the Noble County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals. The penalty is to be assessed to anyone who is scheduled to appear before the board and fails to both appear and make alternative arrangements before the board meeting, Noble County Assessor Kim Miller said. Alternative arrangements could include rescheduling the meeting or asking someone on the board to represent them, Miller said.

ANGOLA — Veteran Steuben County Sheriff’s Deputy Rich McCarty survived being shot at numerous times during an altercation surrounding a high-profile murder case and was honored for his professionalism Saturday. McCarty received the 2013 Indiana Sheriff’s Association County Police Officer/Deputy of the Year Award from the Indiana Sheriff’s Association. The award was presented at the association’s annual conference president’s dinner in Indianapolis.

ALBION — The Albion Redevelopment Commission Monday approved using $150,000 in tax increment financing money to help pay for work on paving and sidewalks. The money will be used only for projects inside the town’s TIF District 1, town manager Beth Shellman said. District 1 includes the town’s east industrial park and a corridor running from the park to Weber Road, and from Weber Road up Orange Street to the Noble County Courthouse Square. If the Albion Town Council accepts the lowest bids for paving work
throughout the town, the total cost would be $211,885, Shellman said. The townwide total for sidewalk work would be $45,320. But the portion of the work within TIF districts totals $212,000 for sidewalks and paving combined, Shellman said. The town’s sidewalk and paving committee submitted a request to the commission for $150,000 toward the work within the district, Shellman said. The balance of the cost would be paid using the town’s street or cemetery funds. The majority of the work within the district will be paving the entry to Hidden Diamonds Park

Hoffer said the motion for preliminary injunction will ask the court to prevent the city from enforcing its sexually oriented business ordinances enacted after Butler bought the former Slider’s Grill and Bar building and allow him to open. Hoffer stressed that no settlement has been reached between the city and Butler. “The parties aren’t crafting a settlement agreement of any sort,” he said. Butler’s suit against the city was filed in March after a number of events prevented Butler from opening a strip club in Angola. Butler is founder of the Showgirl clubs in Fort Wayne. The company has been in business 25 years. Butler alleges by being denied a business license by Angola, his civil rights were infringed. Butler has been trying to open a Showgirl club in Angola after having purchased the Slider’s Grill and Bar building at 310 W. Wendell Jacob Ave. last August. After being denied a permit to operate in Angola, Butler appealed that decision on the local level, where it was also denied. In March, Butler sued the city in U.S. Federal District Court in Fort Wayne, claiming his First and 14th Amendment rights had been violated by Angola officials. Butler claims when he bought the property last year, it met all the zoning requirements to operate a strip club.
ANGOLA — The federal lawsuit between Showgirl and the city of Angola appears headed toward a conclusion. Attorneys for Alva Butler and BBL Inc., the Fort Wayne parent company of Showgirl, and Angola have been ordered to supply motions on their behalf and eventually participate in a hearing on Oct. 25 in South Bend.

Habitat auction set for Friday LAGRANGE — An eye exam, a Vera Bradley tote and a basket filled with New Rinkel Baking products are among the items up for bids in a LaGrange County Habitat for Humanity benefit auction. The auction will take place inside the Shipshewana Sale Barn, Friday at 3:30 p.m. “The LaGrange County community has been very generous this year,” said Mont Arnold, Habitat’s executive director. “We have some new board members who have new contacts, and our contributors from past years have also continued to donate many items, including our usual fine array of quilts and furniture. Our selection this year is far more varied and extensive than it has
been in recent years.” The list of items up for auction includes gift certificates for an Amish meal with buggy transportation, computer tune-up services and a night at the local Holiday Inn. However, quilts always have been the show stopper of any LaGrange County Habitat for Humanity auction. Two quilts that will be on the sale block this year are especially noteworthy. The first is a Triple Irish Chain Quilt, sponsored by the LCHFH board of directors. This quilt was pieced by a Shipshewana woman and quilted by local crafters. First featured at the Haiti auction in 2013, the showpiece has been purchased and is now offered for resale at the
LCHFH auction.The quilt has a green, cream and dark brown color scheme. It measures 95 by 115 inch. The second quilt is a gift to Habitat. While Arnold was soliciting in retail stores for auction items, a local woman who was working at the shop told him she had a quilt at home that was pieced and quilted, but needed to be bound. She then offered to donate it to the the Habitat auction Lolly’s Fabric of Shipshewana volunteered to do the finishing/binding, and that quilt will join the array of many others for sale at the event. The quilt segment of the auction begins at 5 p.m. For a complete and updated list of items in the auction, visit the Habitat website at lagrangehabitat. org/events.html.

Foundation to continue internship LAGRANGE — The LaGrange County Community Foundation will continue its Youth Development Intern Program and will hire a college student for that position within the next 60 days. The part-time position currently is held by Trine University senior Laney Kratz. Kratz graduates this fall and will assist in selecting and training the new intern during the next semester.

Expert: Unlikely U.S. helped New Zealand spy on reporter WASHINGTON (AP) — If the National Security Agency monitored phone conversations between a New Zealand journalist and his Afghan sources, as reported this weekend, it was more likely to have been done under standard military intelligence monitoring of enemy communications in war zones, intelligence officials and experts said Monday. The Obama administration brushed off new allegations of NSA surveillance overreach, this time focusing on freelance reporter Jon Stephenson, who was in Kabul, Afghanistan, working for American news service McClatchy and other media outlets when his phone records were reportedly seized. It was the latest revelation, if greeted with less outrage, in the ongoing debate over government snooping since NSA leaker Edward Snowden in June revealed two top secret U.S. programs that monitor millions of Americans’ telephone and Internet

Swiss police: 35 hurt in train collision BERLIN (AP) — At least 35 people were injured, five of them seriously, in a head-on collision of two trains in western Switzerland late Monday, police said. One person had yet to be recovered from the wreckage. The crash happened near the station of Granges-presMarnand shortly before 7 p.m. on a regional line about 31 miles southwest of the capital, Bern. It came just days after 79 people were killed in a high-speed train derailment in Spain. Photographs from the Swiss site showed the two regional trains locked together, partly lifted off the tracks by the force of the collision. Police said several ambulances, fire engines and a helicopter were involved in the rescue operation. Rescuers had not yet been able to reach the driver’s cabin of one of the trains, said the police in the canton (state) of Vaud in a statement. News website 20min.ch quoted Patricia Claivaz of the Swiss rail company CFF as saying the trapped man was the driver. It was unclear if he was alive. According to police, the five people who were seriously injured were taken to the hospital in the nearby city of Lausanne.

communications each day. It’s not clear what actually happened. The Sunday Star-Times reported that the New Zealand military conspired with U.S. spy agencies to monitor a Stephenson’s communications with sources in Afghanistan. New Zealand officials denied the new allegations and U.S. intelligence authorities and the White House declined immediate comment Monday. But experts and former intelligence officials said if Stephenson’s phone records were collected, they would have been gathered in a military intelligence sweep that is shared among allies — and has for years monitored most communications in war zones, where there is little expectation of privacy in the hunt for enemy combatants and suspected terrorists. New Zealand withdrew its small contingent of roughly 150 troops from Afghanistan earlier this year. But the country’s Government Communi-
cations Security Bureau, which is New Zealand’s NSA equivalent, would have been included in an allied intelligence gathering and reporting system in Afghanistan, said Canadian intelligence expert Wesley Wark. Wark said the New Zealand security bureau also would have been able to access a secret system once code-named “Stoneghost,” which allows it to share and draw from intelligence reports compiled from four other counties — the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. Stoneghost was one portal through which the so-called Five Eyes allies, the U.S., U.K, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, shared data. “It is entirely possible that New Zealand intelligence ran its own surveillance operation against Stephenson on the basis of access to a common allied intelligence pool in Afghanistan without necessarily requiring any direct U.S. input or involvement,” said Wark, a national security professor at University of Ottawa.
Obama, Clinton have lunch, spark 2016 buzz WASHINGTON (AP) — When is a lunch more than just a midday meal? When the two diners are President Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and inquiring minds want to know who, if anyone, the president will endorse in 2016. A summertime meal shared by Obama and his rival-turned-ally threw the political speculation machine into overdrive Monday, highlighting how closely both are being watched for signs of their intentions in the next presidential race. For Clinton, it’s a question of whether the former first lady will take the plunge, launching another campaign eight years after she lost to Obama in a hard-fought primary. For Obama, it’s about dueling loyalties to two of his closest advisers who would both covet his endorsement: Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden, who is also said to be eyeing the Oval Office. Such questions set the table for a midday powwow over salad, grilled chicken and pasta jambalaya whipped up by the White House chef and served al fresco on the patio just outside the Oval Office. Will Clinton tip her hand? Will Obama offer his support? Or will the two dive deep into current events — bloodshed in Egypt, for instance, or a budding new round of Mideast peace talks that eluded Clinton as secretary of state? In all likelihood, none of the above. “The purpose of the lunch was chiefly social,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest, calling it a “chance to catch up” and adding that Obama had initiated the invitation. “Secretary Clinton and the president have developed not just a strong working relationship, but also a genuine friendship.” So what are the chances that Biden popped in for
coffee and desert, a casual reminder that he’s still the one with the office closest to Obama’s? “I think the table was set for two,” Earnest said. Not to worry — Biden will have his own chance to shoot the breeze with his former Senate colleague and 2008 primary opponent on Tuesday. The White House said Biden and Clinton will have breakfast together at the Naval Observatory, the vice president’s official residence. Monday’s lunch isn’t not the first time Obama and Clinton huddled since Clinton stepped down in February after four years as Obama’s top diplomat. They saw each other briefly in Dallas at the opening of former President George W. Bush’s presidential library in April. And in March, the Clintons shared a private dinner with Obama that wasn’t announced publicly until after the fact. In the meantime, Clinton has kept up a hectic schedule of speeches and public appearances that has provided further fodder to those urging her to run again. A super PAC seeking to create a campaign-inwaiting in case she runs, Ready for Hillary, recently picked up support from some of Obama’s most prominent former campaign organizers. So it’s no wonder that each Obama-Clinton rendezvous is closely analyzed, elating some and prompting eye rolls from others who lament that barely six months in to Obama’s second term, talk about his replacement is already reaching a fever pitch. “In Democratic circles, it makes people fantasize and engage in all kinds of speculation, when in fact it may just be a tete-a-tete between the leader of the free world and the most important person in the Democratic Party,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic strategist who worked on President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election.

from a neighborhood and drive homebuyers elsewhere. Bennett, who now is reworking Florida’s grading system as that state’s education commissioner, reviewed the emails Monday morning and denied that DeHaan’s school received special treatment. He said discovering that the charter would receive a low grade raised broader concerns with grades for other “combined� schools — those that included multiple grade levels — across the state. “There was not a secret about this,� he said. “This wasn’t just to give Christel House an A. It was to make sure the system was right to make sure the system was face valid.� However, the emails clearly show Bennett’s staff was intensely focused on Christel House, whose founder has given more than $2.8 million to Republicans since 1998, including $130,000 to Bennett and thousands more to state legislative leaders. Other schools saw their grades change, but the emails show DeHaan’s charter was the catalyst for any changes. Bennett rocketed to prominence with the help of former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and a national network of Republican leaders and
donors, such as DeHaan. Bennett is a co-founder of Bush’s Chiefs for Change, a group consisting mostly of Republican state school superintendents pushing school vouchers, teacher merit pay and many other policies enacted by Bennett in Indiana. Though Indiana had had a school ranking system since 1999, Bennett switched to the A-F system and made it a signature item of his education agenda, raising the stakes for schools statewide. Bennett consistently cited Christel House as a top-performing school as he secured support for the measure from business groups and lawmakers, including House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro Tem David Long. But trouble loomed when Indiana’s then-grading director, Jon Gubera, first alerted Bennett on Sept. 12 that the Christel House Academy had scored less than an A. “This will be a HUGE problem for us,� Bennett wrote in a Sept. 12, 2012 email to Neal. Neal fired back a few minutes later, “Oh, crap. We cannot release until this is resolved.� By Sept. 13, Gubera unveiled it was a 2.9, or a “C.� A weeklong behind-thescenes scramble ensued among Bennett, assistant
superintendent Dale Chu, Gubera, Neal and other top staff at the Indiana Department of Education. They examined ways to lift Christel House from a “C� to an “A,� including adjusting the presentation of color charts to make a high “B� look like an “A� and changing the grade just for Christel House. It’s not clear from the emails exactly how Gubera changed the grading formula, but they do show DeHaan’s grade jumping twice. “That’s like parting the Red Sea to get numbers to move that significantly,� Jeff Butts, superintendent of Wayne Township schools in Indianapolis, said in an interview with The Associated Press. DeHaan, who opened the Christel House Academy charter school in Indianapolis in 2002 and has since opened schools in India, Mexico and South Africa, said in a statement Monday that no one from the school ever made any requests that would affect Christel House’s grades. Current Indiana schools chief Glenda Ritz’s office declined comment on the emails. Ritz, a Democrat, defeated Bennett in November with a grass-roots campaign driven by teachers angered by Bennett’s education agenda.
students who took the online test — had their ISTEP exam interrupted at least once when computer glitches kicked them offline during the April-May testing period, the report released by the state Department of Education concludes. But the problems had no negative impact on scores for the “vast majority� of students, said Dr. Richard Hill of the National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment Inc., who conducted the review. Hill said, however, that 600 students who were taking the test lost data “that was not ‘restored’ when they logged back in.� Student ISTEP scores slightly increased between 2012 and 2013, on par with improvements in previous years, Hill said. “It does appear, looking at the data, that the net impact of the interruptions was nil. Students scored about as well as they would have had no interruptions occurred,� he told Indiana’s Commission on Education on Monday. “That may come as a surprise to many, but there’s a lot of evidence to back up that statement.� Hill credited school staff’s actions as well as students’ own resolve to press on and work “diligently� to complete the multi-part test. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz halted testing for two straight days in April as the server problems knocked students offline or left

them unable to access the online test, which assesses students’ proficiency in mathematics and English/ language arts. Some students are also tested on their proficiency in social studies or science. Because of the problems, the state asked schools to cut their normal test loads by half for a few days and the testing period was extended. Hill’s report states that school districts reported an additional 60,000 students’ tests were interrupted by the glitches. That figure, combined with the number reported by CTB/McGrawHill, would mean 29 percent of students tested were affected. Hill said he considers the company’s numbers more accurate than the schools’, but added that the school’s numbers cannot be discounted. Ritz told the commission Monday it’s unclear how many students’ tests were affected in some way by the disruptions. “You need to keep in mind, anyone sitting next to somebody who’s interrupted for any length of a period of time, that’s going to cause an interruption in their own testing, whether they didn’t spend time on the question they were on, or whatever the case may be,� she said. Indiana’s troubles punctuated a nationwide shift from pencil-andpaper tests to online exams. Troubles earlier this year also disrupted high-stakes testing in other states, including Kentucky,
Minnesota and Oklahoma. In Indiana, ISTEP scores are used to assess student performance and determine teacher pay and school rankings. Ritz said the testing problems were “extremely stressful� for teachers and students. She said that given the uncertainties about how students might have scored without the glitches, she’s given local schools the “flexibility to minimize the effect� of test results on this year’s teacher evaluations. “There is no mandate. It’s up to the individual school districts to look at that,� she said, noting that 2013 is the first year Indiana is tying student test scores to teacher evaluations. Ritz said the state Department of Education is continuing to negotiate with CTB McGraw-Hill to seek a settlement with the company, which has a four-year, $95 million state contract to administer the test. In June, Ritz said her office was seeking at least $614,000 in damages from CTB/McGraw-Hill for the testing troubles. That amount included $400,000 for fines covered in the company’s state contract. The remainder would pay for the independent review and better reporting data. Schools typically receive ISTEP results in May, but Ritz said the glitches and the review means the data won’t be released until late August.

The impact on East Noble students can’t be calculated, because scores have not been released, Lamon said. At one time, scores were promised for Monday, but the state now is asking for patience, she said. “Once we get the scores back for the students, we’ll do side-by-side comparisons’ with past scores and a pre-test that predicts individual scores,� Lamon said.

Noble Superior Court II. Fulkerson was suspended from the practice of law Oct. 13, 2009, for several incidents that took place in 2005 and 2007, according to an order published by the Indiana Supreme Court. The most widely reported incident was a May 2007 episode at the Noble County Jail in which she allegedly claimed one of her clients actually was her private investigator, even using the investigator’s name. The client pretending to be an investigator actually was the girlfriend of a man incarcerated in the jail at the time, court records said. The ruse was discovered, and Fulkerson was charged with aiding in identity deception, a Class D felony. She later pleaded guilty to resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor. Other misconduct by Fulkerson alleged in an action filed before the Indiana Supreme Court in 2009 included accepting $2,500 in a 2005 adoption case and taking no action except filing an appearance. She responded to the children’s adoption
by another couple more than five months after the adoption, which courts rejected as untimely. Fulkerson also was cited for failure to serve the debtor in a 2007 case in which she represented a creditor in a bankruptcy. State Supreme Court records from 2009 said Fulkerson was a recovering alcoholic and sought help from the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program. Fulkerson was reinstated to the Indiana bar by the state Supreme Court on Aug. 24, 2011, on the conditions that: • she serve at least two years of probation on terms to be set by the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program; • have no violations of those terms, the law or the rules of professional conduct while on probation; and • her probation could be revoked and her suspension reinstated if she violated those terms.

Tigers bolster pen in trade with Astros DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers added some help for their shaky bullpen Monday, acquiring reliever Jose Veras from the Houston Astros for minor league outfielder Danry Vasquez and a player to be named. Veras is 0-4 with a 2.93 ERA and 19 saves this season, and the 32-year-old right-hander has struck out 44 in 43 innings with only 14 walks. “We are pleased to add an experienced arm to our bullpen,” Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said. “Jose can pitch in a variety of roles, provides depth in the bullpen, and complements the roles of Joaquin Benoit and Drew Smyly.” Detroit entered the season with a lot of uncertainty at the closer spot, and although Benoit has pitched well in that role of late, the AL Central-leading Tigers still needed bullpen depth. Aside from Benoit and Smyly, none of their other relievers have been all that effective on a consistent basis. Veras has been a steady contributor while bouncing from team to team in recent years. He posted a 3.75 ERA with Florida in 2010, a 3.80 ERA with Pittsburgh in 2011 and a 3.63 ERA with Milwaukee last season. Houston signed him to a one-year deal last offseason, and the last-place Astros could certainly afford to trade their closer if the opportunity to acquire a solid prospect presented itself. Vasquez is only 19, but he was ranked by Baseball America as the sixth-best prospect in Detroit’s system before this season. Vasquez hit .281 with five home runs and 39 RBIs in 96 games for Class A West Michigan this year.
Sox reliever Crain dealt to Tampa Bay BOSTON (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays acquired injured reliever Jesse Crain from the Chicago White Sox on Monday in an attempt to bolster their bullpen for the AL East stretch run. The White Sox will receive players to be named or cash for Crain, a 32-year-old right-hander who is 2-3 with a 1.15 ERA in 38 appearances. He was placed on the disabled list on July 3 with a right shoulder strain. “Jesse has been one of the top relievers in the American League, not only this season but also throughout his entire tenure with the White Sox,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “We cannot say enough about what Jesse has meant to our bullpen, and the positive impact he’s had on our young relievers. We certainly think he has the ability to influence this year’s pennant race very positively for the Rays.” The deal was announced before the Rays faced the division-leading Red Sox in Boston on Monday night. Tampa Bay entered the night one-half game behind Boston in the AL East.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy has been the subject of several trade rumors with his team
out of the running in the AL Central and the trade deadline Wednesday.
Peavy waits for call CLEVELAND (AP) — Jake Peavy is prepared to make his next start — for the White Sox or anyone else. Chicago’s coveted right-hander could be traded before Wednesday’s deadline, and said he’s eager for the next few days to pass as quickly as possible. “I’ll be happy when Wednesday is here and there’s no more speculation,” Peavy said before the White Sox opened a four-game series at Cleveland on Monday. “I know there’s a good chance I could possibly start and there’s a good chance I won’t start. I don’t know what else to say.” Peavy, who is slated to start
today, has felt this anxiety before. He was traded by San Diego to the White Sox at the deadline in 2009, but that experience doesn’t make this time any less tense. “It is crazy and hectic but it’s what we do,” said Peavy, 8-4 with a 4.28 ERA in 13 games this season. “We’ve seen this happen year in and year out with everybody. I certainly in no way feel sorry for myself. “ Boston and Oakland have reportedly checked in with the White Sox about Peavy, a Cy Young Award winner with the Padres in 2007 whose tenure with Chicago has not gone as well as he or the White Sox hoped. He’s
been on the disabled list four times, including this season with a broken rib. Peavy is prepared in case the last-place White Sox, who had lost nine of 12 heading into the series opener with Cleveland, are able to finalize a deal. He brought extra luggage with him for the seven-game road trip in case he has to pack everything in his locker. “There are a lot of things in your personal life that hang on this decision, and where you go,” Peavy said. “There a lot more that goes into it than people realize. I have all kind of bags packed. SEE PEAVY, PAGE B2
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — During a 7-on-7 drill in shorts at Washington Redskins training camp, Robert Griffin III rolled left and couldn’t find an open receiver. He started to scramble, saw a lane and ran for 15 yards. Then he hit the turf, with typical RG3 flair. He performed a half-speed slide and rolled over to protect the ball. The crowd went wild. It was perhaps the biggest cheer he’s heard for any play yet during camp. “I just thought everybody would love it if I just slid in practice for once,” Griffin said. “And I went ahead and did that. I find it easier to slide in football pants than shorts. It was a little harder, but I slid and everybody liked it.” Even coach Mike Shanahan laughed. “I thought it was good. … It’s got to become automatic,” Shanahan said. “No matter what you do, there has got to be an emphasis there. The player’s got to believe in it. They have got to think it. If you use it do it in practice, it happens in games.” It’s an odd sight when people drive hundreds of miles to holler for their favorite player to take it easy, but many in the crowd at camp are content to sit back and watch Griffin sit back and watch, yelling things like: “RG3, take care of that knee” and “We don’t need you to play in preseason.” They naturally cheer when he does get to throw, but they already know he can do that. They’re still waiting for him to master the slide. Griffin has been kept out of the main 11-on-11 drills.
Colts’ receiver vows not to stray again ANDERSON (AP) — LaVon Brazill’s drug use is already going to cost him some cash. If he doesn’t change his ways, it could cost him an NFL job, too. The second-year Colts receiver insisted it’s an easy choice: He’ll take money over marijuana any day. On Monday, Brazill promised to avoid any more off-the-field missteps as he made his first public comments since the NFL imposed a four-game suspension for a failed drug test. Brazill admitted he alone was to blame and said he has promised the Colts it won’t happen again. “I know any one of you would choose money any day, so that’s gone and I’m choosing money any day,” Brazill said Monday after Indianapolis’ morning walkthrough at Anderson University. Indianapolis took Brazill in the sixth round of last year’s draft, hoping he and T.Y. Hilton could form a young nucleus with quarterback Andrew Luck. Brazill wound up catching 11 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown. The Colts have even bigger plans for Brazill this season, if he’s around. Coach Chuck Pagano and team owner Jim Irsay have said they were “disappointed” by having three Indy players — Brazill, safety Joe Lefeged and tight end Weslye Saunders — make headlines over the past month for trouble away from the field. Lefeged was arrested in Washington on a gun possession charge and Saunders received an eight-game suspension for violating the SEE COLTS, PAGE B2

Wiebe wins Senior British Open in playoff SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — Bernhard Langer gave Mark Wiebe one too many chances at the Senior British Open. Wiebe took advantage of Langer’s failure to close out the tournament, beating the German on the fifth playoff hole Monday at Royal Birkdale for his first senior major title. The American used a superb approach shot from the rough to set up a two-putt for par, while Langer failed to get up and down, seeing his par putt stay out. “I’m speechless,” Wiebe said. “I think it’s always better for both
players had there been a birdie to win the playoff instead of a bogey, but right now, I don’t really care. I’m glad it’s over, and I’m honored. Langer led by Wiebe two shots going into the final hole of regulation Sunday, only to settle for a double bogey when he struggled to get out of a bunker. The playoff was then halted after two holes because of darkness and resumed Monday,
with Langer immediately missing another chance to win when his 12-foot putt wouldn’t drop. “I just was luckier today and last night than Bernie I guess,” Wiebe said. “I also feel like Bernie has won, what, a couple hundred tournaments. He’s won so many, I feel like this was my turn.” Langer, who won the tournament in 2010, was up by three shots entering the fourth round. He looked certain to earn a second Senior British Open title when he teed off at the 72nd. But his approach shot landed in
a greenside bunker, and he needed two strokes just to get out of the sand. Wiebe, meanwhile, shot a 4-under 66 to match the German at 9-under 271. “Obviously, not what I wanted. But the major mistake was again yesterday, the 72nd hole,” Langer said. “In the playoff anybody can win. It comes down to one good shot or one bad shot. And that’s what happened. Mark is a very deserving champion.” This was the first time in the 27-year history of the Senior British Open the tournament finished on a Monday.

first game of the championship round as Zach Frane scattered nine hits and struck out five over 6 1/3 innings, and Krebs got the final two outs. In pool play, the locals defeated Georgetown 8-3, St. Joe 7-6 and Hamilton Park 11-1. Justin Endsley homered and Dunham had 10 strikeouts in the five innings vs. Hamilton Park.
A-Rod may face quick suspension NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball may try to suspend Alex Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, which would eliminate any chance of delaying a penalty until after the case goes to an arbitrator, The Associated Press has learned. Rodriguez has never been disciplined for a drug offense, and a first offender under baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players’ association files a grievance — meaning the penalty is put on hold until after an arbitrator rules. While use of banned performance-enhancing substances falls under the drug agreement, MLB may argue other alleged violations are punishable under the labor contract, a person familiar with management’s deliberations told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
Taking that action would prevent the New York Yankees third baseman from returning to the field, even if he recovers from a quadriceps injury cited by the team as the reason for keeping him on the disabled list. And merely threatening to use that provision might give MLB leverage to force a deal. The Yankees expect Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLB’s investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada. Four years ago, Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03. He has repeatedly denied using them since. Baseball has been
investigating Rodriguez and other players since a January report in the Miami New Times alleging they received PEDs from Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic on Florida. “We’re still involved in the process of preparing for an eventual appeal in this matter,” Rodriguez’s lawyer, David Cornwell, said Monday on ESPN New York Radio. “My understanding is that the next step that is going to be taken is that the players’ association and baseball will meet to discuss the investigation and baseball’s focus on particular players. So we’ll see how that process plays out. But at this point my understanding or my expectation is that we’re going to be working through the process towards an appeal.” Cornwell did not return an email seeking comment. Aside from the drug agreement, there is no automatic stay for suspensions under baseball’s
labor contract. Rodriguez could be punished under Article XII B of the Basic Agreement, which states: “Players may be disciplined for just cause for conduct that is materially detrimental or materially prejudicial to the best interests of baseball including, but not limited to, engaging in conduct in violation of federal, state or local law.” If suspended under that section, Rodriguez would serve the penalty while a grievance is litigated before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz — unless the union asks for a stay and the arbitrator grants one, which would be unusual under the grievance procedure. And baseball could always try to punish A-Rod on drug violations later. Cornwell would not respond to a report in the New York Daily News on Monday that said baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would not pursue a lifetime ban if Rodriguez accepted a suspension through 2014.
Eagles to retire McNabb’s jersey PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Donovan McNabb’s voice cracked and his eyes watered when he stood at the podium to give his retirement speech. Famously booed when he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, McNabb couldn’t hide the tears when he called it quits 14 years later. The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback was back in Philadelphia on Monday to make it official,
three years after he was traded from the Eagles and 21 months after taking his final snap in the NFL. “Special day,” McNabb said. “I’m not one for emotion, but this is pretty tough.” Before McNabb even took the stage, team owner Jeffrey Lurie revealed that his No. 5 will be retired on Sept. 19. “The No. 5 has become synonymous with one of
the greatest eras of Eagles football,” Lurie said. “And ensuring that no one else will ever wear Donovan’s number, we honor one of the greatest playmakers to ever wear an Eagles uniform.” McNabb will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame and have his jersey retired on Sept. 19 when the Eagles play the Kansas City Chiefs on a Thursday night. Former Eagles coach Andy
Reid, who drafted McNabb with the No. 2 overall pick in 1999, now coaches the Chiefs. “To be mentioned with the likes of Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Chuck Bednarik, Tommy McDonald, Brian Dawkins and all the other players who have paved the way for me, for my former teammates and for the current players, it’s truly an honor,” McNabb said.
PEAVY: Trade could come just before deadline
COLTS: Brazill knows this may be his last chance

You’re not sure where you’ll be the next day or in the next 24 hours of your life.” Peavy said he would not be surprised if any deal he might be involved in went down to the last minute. First-year general manager Rick Hahn has kept the 32-year-old abreast of talks, and Peavy said the two last spoke on Sunday. “I’m here and except to go out and, unless I hear anything, pitch against Cleveland tomorrow,” Peavy said. “Obviously, there’s stuff being talked about. The coaches and general manager have kept me up to date. As a professional,
I’ve got to be ready for the Cleveland Indians tomorrow. I will be. I expect to win. I hear a lot. All I can do as a player is get ready to do what I know is scheduled for me to do and that’s pitch tomorrow night.” Peavy is under contract through next season, when he’s scheduled to make $14.5 million. He holds an incentive-laden player option for 2015. Hahn said there’s no rush in trading a player under the team’s control, and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and vice president Kenny Williams are not pressuring him to dump salaries.
“I will say not related to Jake specifically but with any player who’s under contract for future seasons, there certainly is no urgency to make a deal now,” Hahn said on a conference call. “I am not under any marching orders from Jerry or Kenny to cull payroll at this time. It’s more about doing what’s the best baseball deal. Now when you have a situation like Jesse’s, where he’s a free agent at the end of the year or Matt Thornton, who is likely headed to free agency, the urgency to do something prior to the deadline obviously is a little bit greater.”
league’s performance-enhancing substance policy for the second time in 18 months. General manager Ryan Grigson cut Saunders before the team even reported to training camp Saturday. “That definitely makes it clear that you can get cut at any time,” Brazill said. By definition, the suspension means Brazill is already a repeat offender. A first-time violation sends the player into a treatment program though there is no public disclosure. Brazill’s second violation resulted in the suspension, the loss of four game checks and
forces him to undergo weekly drug tests and regular counseling. While Brazill acknowledged the team offered to support him through the treatment process, he knows he is running out of chances. “I shot myself in the foot on that. I didn’t take that serious, but now I see that it’s serious,” Brazill said when asked about changing his ways earlier. “Like I said, I’m putting that in the past and I’m moving forward now.” But when Brazill was asked whether the second failed test indicated he had a drug problem, Brazill said: “No. No problem.”
Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne will start at one receiver spot for Indianapolis, with the second spot going to either recently signed free agent Darrius Heyward-Bey or Hilton. Heyward-Bey was Oakland’s first-round draft pick in 2009. Hilton set a franchise rookie record with five 100-yard games and led all NFL rookies in touchdown receptions (seven) in 2012. The Colts have six other receivers, including Brazill, trying to make the 53-man roster, and Brazill intends to do everything he can to make sure he stays on the field. Even staying clean.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Kurt Busch gets jump on preparing for race at Glen WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — With only six races left before NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup begins, Kurt Busch isn’t about to take a break. Not with one of the coveted 12 spots still within his grasp. Less than 24 hours after a disappointing 14th-place finish at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis, Busch was back behind the wheel of his black No. 78 Chevrolet on Monday, blistering through the tricky turns at Watkins Glen International and giving as much feedback as he could to crew chief Todd Berrier. “I always like to test at tracks I’m not exceptionally good on and polish up on what might be a weak spot,” Busch, the 2004 Cup champion, said. “We chose to come and test here because we’re putting a heavy emphasis and pushing all of our eggs into the basket of trying to get into the Chase. We’re trying to use this as a strength, come here and polish up and be even better. “After Watkins Glen, it’s four to go, and we like our chances.” Busch and his Furniture Row Racing team, his third team in three seasons, were among six cars to make the trek to upstate New York’s Finger Lakes region searching for some sort of edge for the Cup race here in two weeks. Though he’s been in contention on a regular basis all season, Busch is winless and sits 14th in points. He’s hopeful two days here on the track will translate into something big when the green flag waves for the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen on Aug. 11. “We just haven’t quite delivered on a win,” Busch said Monday during a break. “Even if we had a win right now, what’s happening is everybody’s finding ways to win, so you have a grouping of guys that have that one win. It’s just as easy for us to make it in on overall consistency.” The top 10 drivers in points automatically qualify for the 10-race Chase, and the two drivers between 11th and 20th in points with the most wins earn wild-card spots. Overall points are the deciding factor if more than two drivers have one win each. As the 26-race preseason winds down, there isn’t much wiggle room in the standings. Only 11 points separate Greg Biffle in eighth from 12th-place Martin Truex Jr. Busch is just 19 points behind Biffle and 13 behind 10th-place Jeff Gordon, who also is winless, while Tony Stewart and Truex each have a victory and hold the wild cards. AJ Allmendinger, David Gilliland, Michael McDowell and Canadian road race ace Ron Fellows also had their first taste of the Gen-6 cars on the high-speed curves of The Glen.
Bucs closer Grilli determined to return before season ends PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates closer Jason Grilli has no intention of sitting out the Pirates’ bid for their first postseason appearance in more than two decades. Grilli remains out indefinitely with a strained tendon in his right (throwing) arm, but said Monday “I’m going to be ready before the season’s out, you can mark my word on that.” The 36-year-old made the first All-Star team of his career earlier this month and has converted 30 of 31 save opportunities but experienced searing pain in his right forearm while trying to finish off a victory over the Washington Nationals last Monday. Grilli acknowledges he’d been dealing with some discomfort in the arm for awhile and wasn’t 100 perfect but doesn’t see any benefit in wondering if he should have come out sooner. “I’m not going to put myself in a position, could I have shut myself down earlier? That’s all in hindsight,” he said. “I could have. But I’m the type of guy that wants to get the ball every time. That’s the way I’ve been my entire career.” An MRI revealed no damage to his elbow, something Grilli called “the best possible scenario.” Instead of surgery he will rest the arm for another week before being re-examined. Though there is no timetable for his return, the usual recovery period for a strained flexor is 1-2 months.
Former All-Star George Scott, ‘The Boomer,’ dies at age 69 GREENVILLE, Miss. (AP) — George “Boomer” Scott, a three-time All-Star first baseman who hit 271 homers in a 14-year major-league career and is a member of the Red Sox hall of fame, has died. He was 69. Washington County coroner Methel Johnson confirmed Scott died on Sunday in Greenville, Miss., his hometown. A three-time All-Star, Scott spent most of his career with the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers. He hit 27 homers with 90 RBIs during his rookie season in 1966 — second for a Red Sox rookie only to Ted Williams — and had his best year with the Brewers in 1975, when he hit 36 homers and had 109 RBIs. The Red Sox all-time leader for first basemen in games played, Scott was inducted into the franchise’s hall of fame in 2006. The Red Sox observed a moment of silence at Fenway Park before Monday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. “In losing George Scott, we have lost one of the most talented, colorful, and popular players in our history,” Red Sox historian Dick Bresciani said.

New taxes come with complications

O
nly one local county — Steuben — currently makes use of Indiana’s local option income tax for public safety. Expect DeKalb County to join the list soon, as the county struggles to deal with a budget shortfall. That would make DeKalb the 22nd of Indiana’s 92 counties to adopt a local income tax for services such as police protection and firefighting. It also means DeKalb County residents should not start spending this year’s much-ballyhooed cut in their state income tax rate, which amounts to 0.17 percent. Soon, they’ll begin paying the public safety income tax at a rate of 0.50 percent — a net increase of 0.33 percent in taxes. Government will put a little money in their left pockets and take a larger sum out of their right pockets. But it’s hard to argue against public safety. In DeKalb County, a new tax would help pay for operation of a new central dispatching center. The center combines all emergency dispatching under one roof. It replaces three separate systems that used to be run by the county and the cities of Auburn and Garrett. Auburn and Garrett are saving money by closing their dispatching centers. But that doesn’t help the county, which now has greater expenses. Here’s the complication. Of the 0.5 percent income tax that can be collected in the name of public safety, only half actually goes to public safety. The other 0.25 percent must be used to reduce property taxes. The Legislature created the public safety tax in 2007, when cutting property tax rates was all the rage in Indiana. Back in 2007, legislators told counties, “If you want that extra income tax for public safety … you have to provide some property tax relief in addition,” said Larry DeBoer, a Purdue University professor — and perhaps the man who best understands Indiana’s convoluted tax structure. Then in 2010, a state constitutional amendment passed Constitutional with major property reforms. Indiana amendment caps tax now caps property property taxes, taxes at 1 percent for homesteads, 2 complicates issue percent for commerfor municipal cial property and second homes,and bodies. 3 percent for industrial and agricultural property. The tax caps would seem to make the extra relief from the public safety tax unnecessary, but it remains in the law. On the surface, the tax-relief rule looks like a clear case of taking money out of one pocket and putting an equal amount in the other, but it’s never that simple. If a county works the game correctly, it can gain income from the process of giving property tax relief. Some property owners already have hit the limits of the cap system, so the “relief” won’t actually cut their property taxes — but they still have to pay more income tax. It’s another case of unintended consequences from Indiana’s maze of tax laws. (The state has seven different types of local income taxes, for example.) Think of it as the nasty interactions you could get from taking too many prescription drugs. In this case, the Legislature writes too many prescriptions (tax laws) without checking the consequences — and taxes are the drugs.

Economist lauds 4-H clubs for learning by doing BY MARYANN O. KEATING
There is currently discussion about apprenticeship and structured work experiences to promote the school-to-work transition. This concern emphasizes the development of young persons in having the skills needed to apply academic learning to real-life situations. Here in Indiana there exists an exciting such program enrolling thousands of young people between the ages 8 and 18 in critical-skills training — it is called 4-H. Imagine, if you will, a 12-year-old boy or girl sitting in a circle with three professional electricians explaining the color coding of wires used to build an electrical circuit. Or, consider a youngster, having personally constructed a garment, sitting across the table from a clothing instructor who evaluates the work step by step according to a preset rubric. Who cannot admire the 13-year-old at a livestock show handling an animal outweighing the teen by a factor of 10? With a network reaching every corner of the state and country, 4-H is the nation’s largest youth-development organization. More than 6 million 4-H youth participate from urban, suburban and rural farming communities. The 4-H program fosters an innovative “learn by doing” approach with proven results. Tax funds from the U. S. Department of Agriculture and state universities support
extension system personnel who develop and deliver 4-H programs. The extension system manages a revolving account for each county or regional unit. Donations and fund-raising revenues are generated and managed by local 4-H councils. At a number of 4-H clubs located in every county in Indiana, skilled adults spend hours leading members into the world of reading and interpreting manuals to create projects in which the child has expressed an interest — all for stipends just covering expenses. The foods coordinator at one club, a mathematics instructor by trade, uses recipes to reinforce measuring and counting techniques. Another teaches machine safety, referencing trigonometry in calculating angles for connecting legs to a third-year member’s woodworking bench. A skilled handcrafter volunteers to meet throughout the year so that members’ projects are completed in time for judging at the county fair. 4-H is not a drop-off program. It requires that parents monitor and invest time and resources in each project. Both parent and child are together on the hook when a decorated cake is smashed in transport or when photographs are presented in a way that fails to meet precise specifications. In such instances, a Hoosier parent can only hope that dairy treats on the midway compensate when a white ribbon
for participation substitutes for the coveted blue. Fees for 4-H are nominal. Members, on completion of a project, are sometimes given an entrance pass to the county fair. Note carefully, however, that parents are placed in the position of having to say, “No, our family will not be showing horses at the fair” or “Your short’s seams will be sewn on an ordinary machine; we cannot afford a serger.” Fortunately, identical purple champion ribbons are awarded to a multitude of low-budget projects as well as for presenting prized dairy and beef cattle. Considering the intense involvement required of 4-H stakeholders, one questions whether the organization’s programs can be scaled up to significantly increase participation. Certainly, current 4-H members are offered a leg up on valuable academic, vocational and personal skills, all of which necessarily increase self-esteem. One cannot imagine the degree to which the thrill of competition and meeting friends at the fair compares with an expensive destination vacation. Everyone, however, can appreciate the value of the human capital inculcated in those Hoosiers who learn by doing through 4-H. MARYANN O. KEATING, PH.D., of South Bend is an adjunct scholar for the Indiana Policy Review Foundation.
What Others Say • Purdue faculty gives wake-up to Daniels It should come as no surprise that a group of Purdue University faculty members has expressed concern that the school’s new president, Mitch Daniels, continues to denigrate liberal historian Howard Zinn. Ninety professors have written an open letter to Daniels that stated they were more troubled by his continued criticism of Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” than they were by emails he sent as governor in which Daniels called the historian a “terrible anti-American academic” after he died and labeled his work as “crap.” That’s not very gubernatorial, but then Daniels probably didn’t expect his emails sent at the time would become public, as the public records did when The Associated Press asked for them. He should have known better, and he shouldn’t have written
what he did in the first place. That’s one lesson that should stick with him now that he’s leading a university in which academic freedom should be one of the most important principles. Another lesson is this: When he left state government, he didn’t leave political activism; he moved to a more intense version. He’ll have as many if not more critics than he did as governor, and these will come with advanced degrees and even more certainty they’re right.

Briefs • Verdict likely today in Wikileaks trial FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Pfc. Bradley Manning could learn as early as Tuesday afternoon whether he will be convicted of aiding the enemy — punishable by life in prison without parole — for sending more than 700,000 government documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, a military judge said Monday. Col. Denise Lind said shortly before calling a noon lunch recess that she expects to announce her verdict at 1 p.m Tuesday in Manning’s court-martial. Lind planned to return to the bench later Monday, the third day of her deliberations. It wasn’t clear whether Lind has arrived at her findings or was merely giving guidance to court-martial participants, spectators and reporters.

Raid rescues children forced into prostitution FBI saves 105 children, arrests 150 WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities rescued 105 children who were forced into prostitution and arrested 150 pimps and others in a three-day law enforcement sweep in 76 American cities, the FBI said Monday. The victims, almost all girls, range in age from 13 to 17. The largest numbers of children rescued were in San Francisco, Detroit, Milwaukee, Denver
and New Orleans. The campaign, known as Operation Cross Country, was conducted under the FBI’s Innocence Lost initiative. “Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across the country,” Ron Hosko, assistant director of the bureau’s criminal investigative division, told a press conference.
The FBI said the campaign has resulted in rescuing 2,700 children since 2003. The investigations and convictions of 1,350 have led to life imprisonment for 10 pimps and the seizure of more than $3.1 million in assets. For the past decade, the FBI has been attacking the problem in partnership with a non-profit group, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. John Ryan, the head
Hudson’s Bay buying Saks for $2.4 billion NEW YORK (AP) — Don’t let the global economy fool you: Luxury is hardly dead. Saks Inc. agreed to sell itself to Hudson’s Bay Co., the Canadian parent of upscale retailer Lord & Taylor, for about $2.4 billion in a deal that will bring luxury to more North American locales. The acquisition combines three department-store brands — Hudson’s Bay, Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue— and creates a North American upscale retailing behemoth with 320 stores in some of the biggest and most populous cities in the U.S. and Canada.
People • Lea Michele breaks silence after death of co-star/boyfriend LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lea Michele is breaking her silence online after her “Glee” co-star and real-life boyfriend Cory Monteith died of an overdose earlier this Michele month. The actress posted a photo of her and Monteith on Twitter on Monday, along with a message thanking her Monteith followers for “helping me through this time with your enormous love & support.” “Cory will forever be in my heart,” Michele wrote. Monteith was found dead July 13 in Vancouver, British Columbia. An autopsy revealed the 31-year-old actor died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol.
of the center, called the problem “an escalating threat against America’s children.” The Justice Department has estimated that nearly 450,000 children run away from home each year and that one-third of teens living on the street will be lured toward prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home. Congress has introduced legislation that would require state law enforcement, foster care and child welfare programs to identify
children lured into sex trafficking as victims of abuse and neglect eligible for the appropriate protections and services. “In much of the country today if a girl is found in the custody of a so-called pimp she is not considered to be a victim of abuse, and that’s just wrong and defies common sense,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said during a Senate Finance Committee hearing last month. Wyden co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

EU diplomat tries to mediate in Egypt tensions CAIRO (AP) — Europe’s top diplomat urged Egypt’s interim government to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood as she worked Monday to mediate an end to the country’s increasingly bloody crisis, while the mainly Islamist protesters calling for the return of ousted leader Mohammed Morsi massed for more protests. It was European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton’s second visit to Cairo since Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was toppled by the military nearly a month ago, underscoring the urgency felt after violence that has killed more than 260 people. But any hope of political reconciliation appears distant, with repeated street battles. At least 83 Morsi supporters were killed in clashes with security forces early Saturday near the site of their main Cairo sit-in.

Israeli, Palestinian officials in Washington for peace talks JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli and Palestinian teams flew to Washington on Monday to end five years of diplomatic stalemate and prepare for a new round of Mideast peace talks, though optimism was in short supply after two decades of failed attempts to reach a deal. The resumption of talks was made possible by a decision by Israel’s Cabinet on Sunday to free 104 long-held Palestinian prisoners in four stages, linked to progress in talks. The release was part of an agreement brokered early this month by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to bring the sides back to the negotiating table. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been reluctant to negotiate with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, fearing the hard-line Israeli leader will reject what the Palestinians consider minimal territorial demands. The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in 1967, but have accepted the principle of limited land swaps to allow Israel to annex some of the dozens of settlements it has built on war-won lands. Abbas had repeatedly said he will only go to talks if Israel either freezes settlement building or
Martin Indyk tapped to shepherd discussion WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday appointed a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, to shepherd Israeli-Palestinian peace talk as senior negotiators from the two sides prepared to sit down together for the first time in years. Urging the parties to reach “reasonable compromises on tough, complicated, emotional and symbolic issues,” Kerry acknowledged that the path ahead would be long and difficult, a sentiment echoed by President Barack Obama. “This is a promising step forward, though hard work and hard choices remain ahead,” Obama said in a statement released by the White House. “I know the negotiations are going to be tough, but I also know that the consequences of not trying could be worse,” Kerry said. But Obama and Kerry both said Indyk had the respect and confidence of all involved and that his vast experience in Middle East diplomacy could only help what will surely be a protracted process. The sides have agreed to negotiate for at least nine months, officials said. “I think reasonable compromises have to be a keystone of all of this effort,” Kerry told reporters as he announced Indyk’s new position at the State Department. The appointment came a day after the department said the Israelis and Palestinians had accepted Kerry’s invitation to resume direct talks on Monday evening. recognizes the 1967 lines as a starting point for drawing the border of a state of Palestine. Palestinian officials reiterated Monday that they received US assurances that Washington considers the 1967 lines the basis for
border talks. However, a senior Abbas aide acknowledged that Israel has not signed on to that principle. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue with reporters.
Car bombings in Iraq kill at least 58 BAGHDAD (AP) — More than a dozen explosions, mainly from car bombs, ripped through marketplaces, parking lots, a cafe and rush-hour crowds in Iraq on Monday, killing at least 58 people and pushing the country’s death toll for the month of July toward the 700 mark, officials said. The bombings — 18 in all — are part of a wave of bloodshed that has swept across the country since April, killing more than 3,000 people and worsening the already strained ties between Iraq’s Sunni minority and the Shiite-led government. The scale and pace of the violence, unseen since the darkest days of the country’s insurgency, have fanned fears of a return to the widespread sectarian bloodletting that
pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. With two days left in July, the month’s death toll now stands at 680, according to an Associated Press count. Most of those have come during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of dawn-to-dusk fasting that began July 10, making it Iraq’s bloodiest since 2007. “Iraq is bleeding from random violence, which sadly reached record heights during the holy month of Ramadan,” said acting U.N. envoy to Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin. He said the killings could push the country “back into sectarian strife,” and called for immediate and decisive action to stop the “senseless bloodshed.” There was no immediate
claim of responsibility for Monday’s attacks, but the Interior Ministry blamed al-Qaida’s Iraqi branch and accused it of trying to widen the rift between Sunnis and Shiites. “The country is now facing a declared war waged by bloody sectarian groups that aim at flooding the country with chaos and reigniting the civil strife,” the ministry said in a statement posted on its website. Sunni extremist groups such as al-Qaida’s Iraqi branch, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, frequently use coordinated blasts like those on Monday to try to break Iraqis’ confidence in the Shiite-led government and stir up sectarian tensions.
ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRCRAFT (AP) — Pope Francis reached out to gays on Monday, saying he won’t judge priests for their sexual orientation in a remarkably open and wide-ranging news conference as he returned from his first foreign trip. “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” Francis asked. “We shouldn’t marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society.” Francis’ predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, signed a document in 2005 that said men who had deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. Francis was much more conciliatory in his first news conference as pope, saying gay clergymen should be forgiven and their sins forgotten. The comments did not signal any change in church policy. Catholic teaching still holds that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.” But they indicated a shift in tone under Francis’ young papacy and an emphasis on a church that is more inclusive and merciful rather than critical and disciplinary. Gay leaders were buoyed by Francis’ non-judgmental approach, saying changing the tone was progress in itself, although for some, the encouragement was tempered by Francis talk of gay clergy’s “sins.” “Basically, I’m overjoyed at the news,” said Francis DeBernardo, executive director of the U.S.-based New Ways Ministry, a group promoting justice and reconciliation for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people and the wider church community. “For decades now, we’ve had nothing but negative comments about gay and lesbian people coming from the Vatican,” DeBernardo said in a telephone interview from Maryland. The largest U.S. gay rights group, Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement that the pope’s remarks “reflect a hopeful change in tone.” Still, said Chad Griffin, the HRC president, as long as gay individuals, couples and youth alike “are told in churches big and small that their lives and their families are disordered and sinful because of how they were born — how God made them — then the church is sending a deeply harmful message.”
“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society.” Pope Francis
• In Italy, where politicians are generally sensitive to Vatican policy, Italy’s first openly gay governor, Nichi Vendola, urged fellow politicians to learn a lesson from the pope. “I believe that if politics had one-millionth of the capacity to … listen that the pope does, it would be better able to help people who suffer,” he said. Francis also said he wanted a greater role for women in the church, though he insisted that they cannot become priests. He was funny and candid during the 82 minutes he spent with journalists on board the plane returning from Brazil. He didn’t dodge a single question, and even thanked the journalist who raised allegations contained in an Italian news magazine that one of his trusted monsignors was involved in a gay tryst. Francis said he investigated the allegations according to canon law and found nothing to back them up. He took journalists to task for reporting on the matter, saying the allegations concerned matters of sin, not crimes like sexually abusing children. And when someone sins and confesses, he said, God not only forgives — but forgets. “We don’t have the right to not forget,” he said. Gov. Vendola, who leads the southern Puglia region, praised the pope for drawing a clear line between homosexuality and pedophilia. “In only one blow, he carried out a very brilliant operation, separating the theme of homosexuality from that of pedophilia,” Vendola said in a chat with journalists. “We know that a part of reactionary clerical thought plays on the confusion between these two completely different categories.”

Countertops are no place for toddlers DEAR ABBY: I work in the print center of an office supply store. Often when parents of small children come in to get copies made, they’ll sit their babies/ toddlers on the counter while we discuss their needs. Sometimes these children have dirty diapers. While I am not a parent, I do understand that small children have a tendency to run off or otherwise misbehave if they are left standing. But sitting children on the counter strikes me as unsanitary and unsafe. Would it be appropriate to ask these parents to remove their children from the counter? Because my workplace is geared toward satisfying the customer, I worry about offending a customer and displeasing management. I haven’t said anything so far, but this is really getting to me. —

Give feet a break with the proper shoes DEAR DOCTOR K: You’ve often advised readers to buy supportive shoes that fit properly. Can you be more specific about what to look for in a good shoe? DEAR READER: Buying the right shoe is an investment in your foot health. But how do you identify the “right” shoe? The bottom line is how you feel when you put them on. For women, the best shoes are low-heeled but not flat, with a wide, padded heel, a wide toe box and a sole that provides sufficient cushioning. In general, the higher the heel, the worse for the foot. Men tend to feel most comfortable in athletic shoes, sturdy oxfords, wingtips, loafers or low-heeled boots. Look for sturdy sole construction that provides support and cushions against shock.
Buy shoes made from breathable materials that keep feet dry and less susceptible to foot fungus. Here are some useful tips when you shop for shoes: Wait until the afternoon to shop. Your feet naturally ASK expand DOCTOR K. during the day. • Wear the same Dr. Anthony type of that Komaroff socks you intend to wear with the shoes. • Ask the salesperson to measure both of your feet. Get measured every time you buy new shoes, because feet change with
•
age. If one foot is larger or wider than the other, buy a size that fits the larger foot. (If you can afford it, buy two pairs of shoes of different sizes, and use the proper size for each foot.) • Stand in the shoes. Make sure you have at least a quarter- to a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Wiggle your toes to make sure there’s enough room. • Walk around in the shoes. Is there enough room at the balls of the feet? Do the heels fit snugly, or do they pinch or slip off? • Find shoes that fit from the start, not shoes that need to be broken in. If a salesperson tells you, “Oh, that little pinch will go away as soon as you walk in them a day or two,” thank him or her for the advice ... and find a

pair that doesn’t pinch. • Trust your own comfort rather than a shoe’s size or description. • Pay attention to width as well as length. If the ball of your foot feels compressed, ask for a wider size. • Make sure the soles provide enough cushioning. Your feet have to deal with all the weight of your body. When that big slice of cheesecake puts a couple of extra pounds on the wall of your belly, it also gives your feet more pounds to carry. Trust what your feet tell you about shoes. If your feet don’t like the shoes today, it’s likely that they will really not like the shoes a month from now. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Russian anti-gay laws impact Olympics, vodka
AP
This row house collapsed following an explosion in South Philadelphia on Monday.
Several hurt in building collapse PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A row house collapse Monday severely damaged neighboring houses and hurt eight people, including a baby and a critically injured contractor. The collapse happened shortly after 11 a.m. at an unoccupied home being remodeled in the middle of a south Philadelphia street lined with connected two-story brick homes. The contractor was working in the basement of the destroyed home, police said. Investigators were trying to figure out what happened, but neighbors reported hearing an
explosion. Bricks showered onto the small street and nearly covered a car parked out front. The houses on either side of the destroyed home were standing but badly damaged, with large sections of their masonry walls gone. Rescue crews combed through the rubble for victims. They said early Monday afternoon that the search was complete and no one was unaccounted for. Nearby gas service was turned off and the area evacuated. Residents with nowhere to go were taken to a nearby school, which was

being used as a temporary shelter. “I was in the shower and I thought my house was about to fall down,” said Christie Scibblo, a 26-year-old mother of four who lives four houses down from the collapsed home. “I ran outside and I saw a firefighter rescuing an infant.” Scibblo said she also saw firefighters hosing down a man who had been burned. Daniel Killian, 19, who lives across the narrow street from the house that collapsed, said he smelled gas shortly before the collapse.
NEW YORK (AP) — Russian vodka and the Winter Olympics in Sochi. For now, those are the prime targets as gays in the United States and elsewhere propose boycotts and other tactics to convey their outrage over Russia’s intensifying campaign against gay-rights activism. At many gay bars across North America, owners have joined a campaign to stop selling Russian vodka — notably the popular brand Stolichnaya. Activists also are pressing the International Olympic Committee and NBC, which holds U.S. broadcasting rights for Sochi, to be more aggressive in criticizing new Russian laws. So far, there have been only scattered calls for a full-fledged boycott of the Sochi Games, but there is active discussion of how to convey gay-rights messages once the competition begins — including gestures by individual athletes and perhaps a gay-pride parade. The chief flashpoint is a law signed by President Vladimir Putin last month that bans the “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” and imposes hefty fines for providing information about the gay

community to minors or holding gay pride rallies. Foreign citizens arrested under the law can be jailed for 15 days and then deported. There also is concern about a long-running problem of violence against gays in Russia, as well as a new law restricting adoptions of Russian children by people in countries allowing same-sex marriage. The new laws were approved by parliament with overwhelming support, reflecting animosity toward gay activism that is widely shared across the political spectrum in Russia. Responding to the furor, the IOC said it has received assurances “from the highest level of government in Russia that the legislation will not affect those attending or taking part in the Games.” It pledged to ensure there would be no discrimination against athletes, officials, spectators and the media in Sochi. However, the Human Rights Campaign, a leading U.S. gay-rights group, said the IOC should take a stronger stand. “They should be advocating for the safety of all LGBT (lesbian, gay,
Fax 260-347-7282
bisexual, transgender) people in Russia, not simply those visiting for the Olympics,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “Rescinding this heinous law must be our collective goal.” The New York Times, in an editorial Sunday, said the U.S. government “needs to be more forceful” in denouncing the new laws. “So does the International Olympic Committee, which too often fails to defend the Olympic ideals and should be leading a full-throated international campaign to insist that Russia repeal these laws,” the editorial said. NBC also is coming under pressure, including an open letter from the Human Rights Campaign saying it would be wrong to televise Sochi’s opening ceremonies without reporting on the anti-gay legislation. Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group, was asked about the matter during a weekend meeting with television critics. “We will address it if it becomes an issue,” he said. “If it is still their law and it is impacting any part of the Olympics Games, we will make sure that we acknowledge it and recognize it.”
