Police chief blasts WN superintendent GOOD MORNING Reagan adviser Clark dies at age 81 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

William P. Clark, who rose from campaign volunteer to one of President Ronald Reagan’s most trusted advisers, has died. He was 81. Clark died Saturday at his ranch home in the central California town of Shandon after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease, according to his son. “It’s been a hard fight for him, but we do feel he’s in a better place and he’s not suffering any longer,” Paul Clark said Sunday. The elder Clark began working for Reagan by managing the actor’s 1966 gubernatorial campaign in Ventura County, north of Los Angeles. He ascended to various political jobs as Reagan moved from the Golden State to the White House. Clark worked for Reagan in Sacramento, rising to the position of executive secretary, before accepting a judgeship with the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court. Reagan later appointed him to the state appellate court in Los Angeles, and then the state Supreme Court, before he moved to Washington to serve as deputy secretary of state and national security adviser.

School Resource Officer issue causes rift BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — Ligonier Police Chief Bryan Shearer told the city council Monday night that he is “very disappointed” with West Noble superintendent Dr. Dennis VanDuyne. The issue causing the chief’s concern is the possible hiring of a second School Resource Officer (SRO) for the West Noble campus on U.S. 33. Shearer and VanDuyne have had discussions and at least one face-to-face meeting on the subject, in the last two months. But now, Shearer is upset

because it appears the possibility of another SRO may be dead in the water. One possible scenario that could change that, is if the state of Indiana gets around to awarding grants to school districts for SROs and related equipment. Both Shearer and VanDuyne said the additional officer is something both the school and the police department want, but the financing of the SRO program made the addition “unworkable,” VanDuyne said after Monday’s meeting of the West Noble school board. “It is still something we want, but for now I would say

Ligonier and West Noble have worked together on placing a SRO at West Noble Primary School, located in the central part of the city, for 13 years. That agreement has the school corporation paying for half of the total costs of the officer.

Holder goes after mandatory federal drug sentences

Kerry still hopeful on Mideast peace talks BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday the recent flap over Israeli settlement announcements likely won’t derail Mideast peace talks, which are scheduled to resume this week. Kerry said at a news conference Monday in Bogota that he has talked about the announcements with the top Israeli negotiator. He is also trying to reach Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is recovering from hernia surgery. A State Department spokeswoman in Washington, Marie Harf, said that the U.S. had expressed its “serious concerns” about the announcement Sunday that Israel had approved building nearly 1,200 more settlement homes Sunday — the third in a week. It fueled Palestinian fears of a new Israeli construction spurt under the cover of U.S.-sponsored negotiations. Top U.S. negotiator Martin Indyk has arrived in the region for talks that begin on Wednesday.

Shearer said VanDuyne told him he (VanDuyne) thought he could get the proposal passed by the school board. Shearer told the city council that a police officer costs the city $61,000 a year, with about half of

Investment adviser admits theft BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — With his eyes downcast and few words, a DeKalb County investment adviser quietly admitted the theft of $354,000 from four of his clients during a hearing Monday afternoon in DeKalb Superior Court II. Jeffrey Jarrett, 35, of the 2600 block of C.R. 56, Auburn, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft of more than $100,000, a Class C felony, and two counts of theft, a Class D felony, as part of a plea agreement. In the separate charges, Jarrett admitted to thefts of $10,000, $65,000, $100,000 and $170,000. Details of the offenses were not discussed during Monday’s plea hearing, other than Jarrett admitting that in each of the cases, he exerted unauthorized control of property — money — belonging

to four victims with the intent of depriving them of the use of the property. Sentencing is open to the court, and the court will establish the terms of restitution, including restitution in three charges that will be dismissed as part of the plea agreement. The charges to be dismissed are theft, a Class C felony; forgery, a Class C felony; and theft, a Class D felony. A Class C felony carries a possible sentence of two to eight years in prison, and a Class D felony carries a possible penalty of six months to three years in prison. Judge Monte Brown took the agreement under advisement and scheduled a sentencing hearing for Oct. 7. Jarrett is accused of taking money from clients to buy investments that never were purchased. Auburn Police Detective Stacy

Sexton investigated the case with enforcement investigators Charlie Williams and Aleksander M. Cirulis of the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office, according to an affidavit of probable cause. Sexton said Jarrett Financial Services was organized in 2007 and was administratively dissolved Sept. 29, 2011. Its principal place of business was on North Main Street in Auburn. Two of the victims — Carol VerWiebe and Carol Reese — have filed civil lawsuits against Jarrett and his company, alleging he used their funds for his own benefit. VerWiebe filed her lawsuit in DeKalb Superior Court I, and Reese filed her suit in DeKalb Superior Court II. In the criminal case, Jarrett admitted the theft of funds from four clients, including Reese and VerWiebe.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder announced a major shift Monday in federal sentencing policies, targeting long mandatory terms that he said have flooded the nation’s prisons with low-level drug offenders and diverted crime-fighting dollars that could be far better spent. If Holder’s policies are implemented aggressively, they could mark one of the most significant changes in the way the federal criminal justice system handles drug cases since the government declared a war on drugs in the 1980s As a first step, Holder has instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences. His next step will be working with a bipartisan group in Congress to give judges greater discretion in sentencing. “We will start by fundamentally rethinking the notion of mandatory minimum sentences for drug-related crimes,” Holder told the American Bar Association in San Francisco. There are currently more than 219,000 federal inmates, and the prisons are operating at nearly 40 percent above capacity. Holder said the prison population “has grown at an astonishing rate — by almost 800 percent” since 1980. Almost half the inmates are serving time for drug-related crimes. Holder said he also wants to divert people convicted of low-level offenses to drug treatment and community service programs and expand a prison program to allow for release of some elderly, non-violent offenders. The speech drew widespread praise, including from some of the people Holder will need most — Democrats and Republicans on SEE SHIFT, PAGE A6

LIGONIER — The 14th annual Community Mission Auction is set for Saturday at the Noble County Community Foundation headquarters in Ligonier. Local history buffs may want to take a close look at a few of the many items on the auction block. Ligonier’s Dr. Robert Stone, who retired in May after 54 years of service to the West Noble community, has donated several items from his office to the auction that benefits missions selected by

the five participating churches. Stone has donated a pair of chairs that have been used by thousands of his patients over the decades. An old-fashion scale and his doctor’s stool also will be on the auction block Saturday. The auction, along with a flea market planned for Friday, is put together by a volunteer coalition representing five churches in the West Noble area — Ligonier Church of the Nazarene, Dios de Amor, Ligonier United Methodist Church, Strong Tower Worship SEE DONATES, PAGE A6

Special deputy proposed for vocational school BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — A school serving all of northeast Indiana is considering use of special deputies to help with school security, the Noble County commissioners heard Monday. But, unlike a controversial proposal earlier this year, the plan this time is to use a retired law enforcement officer, not to train teachers and deputize them. Noble County Sheriff Doug Harp explained a proposal being considered by Impact Institute, formerly the Four County Area Vocational Cooperative, to the commissioners Monday. The school has two retired officers working now, Harp said. The proposal would be to have one retired deputy hired strictly as the school’s resource officer and made a special deputy by the sheriff. As a special deputy, the officer would have police powers only on school grounds, Harp said. Liability insurance concerns that derailed Harp’s earlier security proposal for local schools would not be an issue, Harp said. He checked with the county’s insurance provider and the school’s. County insurance agent Jarrod Ramer said the school would have no issue because there would be no question the officer was both a school employee and on duty as law enforcement, and the county would have no liability under the proposal. Impact Institute is hoping to get grant money to help pay the officer, Harp said. The commissioners took no formal action, but said they are agreeable if the school accepts all liability for the officer. An earlier proposal to train teachers at the county’s public schools and make them armed, special deputies

died due to the liability insurance issue. Also Monday, commissioners unanimously approved: • banning electronic cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the county buildings and within 8 feet of their entrances. The battery-powered nicotine delivery systems look like cigarettes, and the county doesn’t want to make it look as if smoking is allowed in the facilities, Commissioner Chad Kline said. • advertising a proposed lower speed limit on Jones Lake Road of 20 mph due to the road’s narrowness and the number of houses along it. • advertising a proposed stop sign on a turn lane from eastbound C.R. 900N onto southbound C.R. 1200E. The sign is needed due to visibility issues, Noble County highway engineer Michael Fitch said. • advertising proposed stop signs on Lincoln Street at Oak Street in Kimmell for eastbound and westbound traffic. When stop signs at the intersection were stolen, it was discovered no ordinance to authorize them ever was approved, Fitch said. • allowing the Super Town of Albion Revitalization Team to use the south parking lot of the Noble County Prosecutor’s Office for a cruise-in in conjunction with the team’s Sept. 6 First Friday event. • approved the 2014-2015 County Economic Development Income Tax plan. All elements of the plan previously had been approved, Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel said. The only new item is $34,000 per year for two years for improvements to the Kendallville Municipal Airport.

New director takes over reins of Ark

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Topeka Historical Society president Harold Gingerich presents a barn quilt with the Topeka Rose design to Doris Haggard. Haggard was instrumental in helping launch the Topeka/Honeyville Quilt show. Her barn quilt will be hung on the side of the historical society’s building.

First barn quilt placed in Topeka TOPEKA — The Topeka Area Historical Society made a little history of its own Saturday morning when it presented local quilter Doris Haggard with a barn quilt. The barn quilt, painted by local artist Cindy Bontrager, is of a “Topeka Rose.” It is now on display on the north side of the historical society’s Depot Museum, and is the first barn quilt in Topeka. “No one deserves this more than Doris,” says historical society president Harold Gingerich. “She had really wanted us to buy the barn quilt which was exhibited at the Topeka Quilt Show and Sale this year and put it on the outside of the Depot. But the more we thought about it, the more we wanted something that was truly Topeka.” Since Haggard is the vice president of the historical

society, Gingerich and the rest of the Board decided to keep the secret, and keep the secret they did. Haggard was totally surprised at the unveiling, Gingerich said. It was Haggard who found, adopted, and then adapted the Topeka Rose quilt block pattern as the symbol for the Topeka Quilt Show & Sale which is held annually in late June. Haggard and Genevieve Lehman, along with quilt show founder Sue Christner, were the driving force behind the quilt show which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in the coming year. “Things couldn’t have worked out better,” observed Gingerich. “Doris was honored, we have the first barn quilt in Topeka, and Cindy Bontrager painted it … making it something that is truly Topeka.”

Births •

LAGRANGE — Sometimes, the right job just seems to come along at the right time, said Yancey Painter, the new director of the Ark Animal Sanctuary in LaGrange. Painter replaces Brian Cochran as the sanctuary’s director. Cochran left that position with the animal rescue organization after nearly a year and a half in the job. Painter, a South Bend native, learned about Ark and its mission to help LaGrange County’s animals as well as getting to know some of the people associated with Ark while she was working at a pet supply store in the Goshen. “I got to know all the good that Ark was doing,” Painter said of those early encounters with Ark representatives. Painter will tell you she grew up around animals. Her mother, she said, worked at a South Bend veterinarian’s office, and as a small child, Painter would often tag along with her mother to work. That put her constantly in the midst of other people’s pets. As she grew old, Painter said, her love of animals caused her to volunteer at animal shelters around the area, and that only served to deepen her love and respect for pets. “I am passionate about animals,” she said, explaining why being named the new director of the Ark Animal Sanctuary is her idea of the perfect job. “I was always a person who always had a bag of dog food or cat food in my car in case I came across someone who needed help to feed their animal.” Painter had plenty of praise for her new employer, and its roster of

dedicated volunteers. “I have never seen an organization willing to go so far for the good of so many animals,” she explained. “They just always try to do the best. That really makes the job worthwhile. Ark gives all its animals a chance.” Painter showed up at the LaGrange shelter with her own helper already in tow, a gentle and affectionate 6-month old black and white puppy she named Bullwinkle who now acts as an official greeter and one of the sanctuary’s two office dogs. Painter said she believes education is the key to ensuring any community takes good care of its animals. One of her primary goals as director will be seeing that she is always available to teach anyone who cares to listen what it takes to care for an animal. Painter said she would like to go into schools to talk with children about animals and animal care. “Going into school to talk about animals, I love that,” she said. “Education is the first step toward better animal care, and if I only reach one child, I’m happy. If I reach only one child, there is always hope.” In only her first week on the job, Painter had to hit the ground running, going on several calls, including one possible injured animal call that turned out to be nothing more than dog that wandered away from its home. Within minutes, however, the owner was contacted and met Painter at the shelter where he was affectionately greeted by his large dog and then promised his dog would not get away from home again. “I want to grow in this job, and

continue helping to take care of animals,” she said. Not being a LaGrange native is so far proving to be one of the only drawbacks to her position. Painter admitted it’s going to take her a little time to get to know the area, and its people, and the roads. “It’s still a bit of challenge, and I’m still learning the routine here,” she said. No matter what comes her way professionally, Painter said her goal is to always remember her job is about the well being of the animals in Ark’s care, and that she will remain positive when dealing with animals or humans. She even has a motto. “Do good things and good things happen,” Painter said.

County Council members begin hearing BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — The seven members of the LaGrange County Council will wade into their second straight day of budget hearings today in the LaGrange County Courthouse Annex. The annual event is the opening round of a long process of putting together the 2014 budget. Judges, the county clerk, the recorder and every other department chief in county government must submit a budget proposal for his or her department for the coming year to the council members, accounting for everything from salaries to office supplies. In total the county’s budget is expected to

exceed $21 million next year, about the same amount as the 2013 LaGrange County budget. The lion’s share of that money is used to pay the salaries of LaGrange County’s employees. One of the first elected officials to make an appearance before the council members Monday morning was LaGrange County Sheriff Terry Martin. The sheriff’s department is the largest county employer with one of the biggest budgets. The sheriff’s department accounts for nearly $3 million. Martin told the council members that he had already sat down with council member Ryan Riegsecker to discuss his budget. Martin also pointed out that he

believed his budget was about as lean as he could make it. “It’s really thin,” he said. Martin, like most county department heads, included in his budget proposal a request to increase his staff wages. At last week’s LaGrange County commissioners meeting, the commissioners agreed to suggest council member consider given county employees a three percent raise this year. Many department heads, however, are asking the county to give them permission to makes those raises performance based raises instead of a straight across the board wage increases. Martin said making those raises performance

MY COMMUNITY

based would allow him to reward those people on his staff who go above and beyond their normal duties. Council president Peter Cook acknowledged that this is just the first step in a two-month or more long process. Council has the right to examine each budget and make what they believe are necessary cuts. That, however, won’t happen right now. The process continues today as the council holds day two of the budget hearing in the annex building and hears from representatives of the LaGrange County Circuit Court, the LaGrange County Parks Department and the LaGrange County Prosecutor.

Linda Bewley, left, outreach coordinator for Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana, accepts a check for $7,297.69 from the Cobblestone Ladies Golf League. The money was raised during the annual ‘‘Swing For Cancer’’ golf tournament hosted by the group

recently at the Cobblestone Golf Course. With Bewley, are from left, Cancer Services development director Amber Recker, Phyllis Weber, Pat Treesh, Kara Warrener, Lin Swogger, Helen Cochard, June Duehmig and Linda Moses.

Golfers raise $7,297.69 to assist cancer victims KENDALLVILLE — Representatives of the Cobblestone Ladies Golf League recently traveled to Fort Wayne to present a $7,297.69 check to Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana. The money was raised during the annual ‘‘Swing For Cancer’’ golf tournament hosted by the group recently at the Cobblestone Golf Course. After presenting the check, the group was given a tour of the Cancer Services facility by outreach coordinator Linda Bewley. The ladies were able to see first hand the display of wigs that are available to cancer patients who lose their own hair as a result of treatment. The building also includes a large warehouse where supplies from band aids to walkers to hospital beds are stored and made available, free of charge, to cancer patients and their families. The only item for which there is a nominal charge are nutrition supplements. Assistance is available for those who

cannot afford the expense. All other items are available at no charge. Support groups meet in the building located in north Fort Wayne, just south of Ludwig Road. Group topics range from cancer-specific to support for caregivers. There are 15 groups currently active with some meetings offered in different locations. Other opportunities include nutritional meetings and complimentary care options such as Tai Chi, exercise groups, and massage therapy. Transportation to and from treatments is available wherever volunteers have come forward to help in that area. The facility also contains a library which houses more than 1,000 books that deal with the topic of cancer. There are also pamphlets and other forms of information available for use by clients, their families, and caregivers to better understand or cope with the disease of cancer. “Anything that is going to make your life easier at this time (of dealing with

cancer), that’s what we do,” said Bewley. “You do not have to do it (fight) alone.” Cancer Services has been in existence since 1944 and began serving the 11 counties of northeast Indiana in 2006. Those counties served include Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley. Last year, assistance was provided for 2,500 men, women and children in the midst of battling cancer. Cancer Services receives no government funding and is supported by grants and the generosity of local donors and fund raising efforts such as the ‘‘Swing For Cancer’’ golf event. Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana is local and has the goal to take care of victims while they battle cancer. To learn more about Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana, you are encouraged to visit their website at cancer-services.org or you may call with questions at 484-9560 and toll free at 866-484-9560.

SHIFT: Impact of the changes could be broad FROM PAGE A1

Capitol Hill. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he is encouraged by the Obama administration’s view that mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenders promote injustice and do not serve public safety. Paul and Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., have introduced legislation to grant federal judges greater flexibility in sentencing. Leahy commended Holder for his efforts on the issue and said his committee will hold a hearing on the bill next month. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.,

the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said he looked forward to working on the issue with Holder and senators of both parties. But support was not universal. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said Holder “cannot unilaterally ignore the laws or the limits on his executive powers. While the attorney general has the ability to use prosecutorial discretion in individual cases, that authority does not extend to entire categories of people.” Still, the impact of Holder’s initiative could be significant, said Marc Mauer, executive director of the

Sentencing Project, a private group involved in research and policy reform of the criminal justice system. African-Americans and Hispanics probably would benefit the most from a change. African-Americans account for about 30 percent of federal drug convictions each year and Hispanics account for 40 percent, according to Mauer. If state policymakers were to adopt similar policies, the impact of changes at the state level could be even broader. Currently, about 225,000 state prisoners are incarcerated for drug offenses, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.

BOSTON (AP) — James “Whitey” Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives, was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings Bulger and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction to verdict, which brought to a close a case that not only transfixed the city with its grisly violence but exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship between the bureau and its underworld snitches. Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts — among them, 19

murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and ’80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s ruthless Irish mob. After 4½ days of deliberations, the federal jury decided he took part in 11 of those murders, along with nearly all the other crimes on the list, including acts of extortion, money-laundering and drug dealing. He was also found guilty of 30 other offenses, including possession of machine guns. Bulger could get life in prison at sentencing Nov. 13. But given his age, even a modest term could amount to a life sentence for the slightly stooped, white-bearded Bulger. As court broke up, Bulger turned to his relatives and gave them a thumbs-up. A woman in the gallery taunted him as he was led away, apparently imitating machine-gun fire as she yelled: “Rat-a-tat-tat,

Whitey!” Outside the courtroom, relatives of the victims hugged each other, the prosecutors and even defense attorneys. Patricia Donahue wept, saying it was a relief to see Bulger convicted in the murder of her husband, Michael Donahue, who authorities say was an innocent victim who died in a hail of gunfire while giving a ride to an FBI informant marked for death by Bulger. “He’s guilty of murdering my husband. There’s nobody that said that,” his widow said. Thomas Donahue, who was 8 when his father was killed, said: “Thirty-one years of deceit, of cover-up of my father’s murder. Finally we have somebody guilty of it. Thirty-one years — that’s a long time.” He said that when he heard the verdict, “I wanted to jump up. I was like, ‘Damn right.’”

Judge: NYPD wrongly targeted minorities NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s largest police department illegally and systematically singled out large numbers of blacks and Hispanics under its controversial stop-and-frisk policy, a federal judge ruled Monday while appointing an independent monitor to oversee major changes, including body cameras on some officers. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would appeal the ruling, which was a stinging rebuke to a policy he and the New York Police Department have defended as a life-saving, crime-fighting tool that helped lead the city to historic crime lows. The legal outcome could affect how and whether other cities employ the tactic. “The city’s highest officials have turned a blind eye to the evidence that officers

are conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner,” U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin wrote in her ruling. “In their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting ‘the right people’ is racially discriminatory.” Stop-and-frisk has been around for decades in some form, but recorded stops increased dramatically under the Bloomberg administration to an all-time high in 2011 of 684,330, mostly of black and Hispanic men. The lawsuit was filed in 2004 by four men, all minorities, and became a class-action case. About half the people who are stopped are subject only to questioning.

WN: School safety can be discussed in private FROM PAGE A1

Noble administration that first proposed the idea of a second SRO to the city of Ligonier. But, he said, “there has never been a recommendation for a third officer and the (school) board has never voted on it. It was something we were investigating.” Shearer and VanDuyne discussed various financing plans, with Shearer and the city trying to get West Noble to pick up a larger share of

the costs for both officers. Discussions focused on a 70/30 split or a 65/35 split on total costs, with West Noble paying the bigger number. “Unfortunately we did not reach numbers we could both live with,” VanDuyne said. “No one is to blame for that, the numbers just did not work.” Shearer also criticized VanDuyne for not taking the subject before the school board at a public meeting.

U.S. Gov’t urges citizens to carry cell phones Cell phones prove to be safety net in case of emergency

N HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT: Things can change in the blink of an eye. Imagine being all alone in an emergency situation like the one shown above with no one to help. That’s why it’s so important to have a cell phone. They act as a personal safety net in case of emergency to keep people safe. A cell phone with a one touch emergency safety button that instantly calls emergency medical, police, fire and rescue for free is the best one to get. That way you never have to worry about being stuck alone.

When it comes to personal safety everyone should have a cell phone. They can save your life. In the U.S. Department of Interiors “Safe and Secure” memo it even urges citizens to carry them.1 In real emergencies they provide people with a lifeline of communication if hurt, stranded or to report a crime. No matter where or what kind of emergency or duress a person finds themselves under— especially if they’re all alone—if they have a cell phone they can call 911 for help. Cell phones act as valuable lifelines in health-related issues, too. At the very least, they provide an easier way to keep in touch with family and friends. They’re easy to get and consumers may even find special

deals that require no contracts, deposits or monthly service charges. There’s no question that everyone should have a cell phone for safety. But there’s no real need to have one that plays games, takes pictures or goes on the Internet. It’s important to make sure the phone can be preprogrammed or has a one touch emergency safety button that instantly calls for emergency help when needed. It should also be easy-to-use with big buttons, a large display screen and big numbers so it’s easy to see. And last of all the phone should be hearing aid compatible with an extra loud speaker that makes it easy to hear. But remember, a cell phone can’t help you unless you have one. N 1Cell phones provide significant economic gains for low-income American households.

Seniors set to get easy to use cell phones free

New cell phones that keep seniors safe are being given away free to everyone who beats the 48 hour deadline to cover just the one-time activation fee, but only those Indiana area seniors who call are also getting nationwide coverage with no long distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills Big buttons, large screen and magnified text make it easy to see; extra loud speaker makes it easy to hear and the one touch emergency safety button instantly calls emergency medical, police, fire and rescue free INDIANA – The phone lines are ringing off the hook. That’s because Kendallville area seniors who call the Toll Free Hotlines today are getting the new easy-to-use Senior Mobile™ cell phones free. So, if you’re still risking your safety by not having a cell phone, well now there’s no reason not to get one and the phone is free. The only thing residents need to do is call the Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour order deadline ends to cover just a one-time activation fee to instantly be awarded the new Senior Mobile cell phone for free. But only those Kendallville area seniors who do are also getting nationwide coverage with no long distance charges, no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills. This is all possible because the U.S. Gov’t put a Federal Regulation in place that makes cell phone giants transmit free emergency calls in all 50 states, which is why this announcement is being so widely advertised. This allows U.S. residents to use the new Senior Mobile cell phone as an emergency phone to call emergency medical, police, fire and rescue for free as well as an everyday cell phone with nationwide coverage, no contracts, no deposits and no monthly bills. To get the free phones seniors need to call the Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour order deadline ends. Everyone who does is being given the new easy-to-use cell phone free just by covering the one-time $97 activation fee and shipping which includes assigning a cell phone number, a SIM card loaded with 500 anytime minutes good for sixty days which allows the Senior Mobile phone to be used as an emergency phone as well as your everyday cell phone, preprogramming the one-touch E 911 Emergency Button that gives your location to E 911 (Enhanced 911) highly trained first responders who can send emergency help wherever you’re at, a portable home phone charger and installing the lithium long life battery so it’s ready to use right out of the box. “It’s important that seniors call right away to get the free cell phones because after the deadline ends the phones are no longer free and residents will be required to pay $199.00 for each new phone,” said David Martin, Executive Director of the U.S. based company CompTek. Safety research shows that 74% of Americans who own a cell phone have used it in an emergency situation to get help when they needed it. Yet millions of seniors are still risking their safety by not having one. The main reason for this is that seniors find most cell phones too difficult to use. That’s why the new easy-to-use Senior Mobile cell phones are being given to seniors for free. It was made just for seniors with big buttons, a large screen and magnified text that make it easy to see. It’s also hearing aid compatible with an extra loud speaker that makes it easy to hear.

And since it’s so easy-to-use seniors can get rid of their home phones and save money in long distance and service charges,” Martin said. “Seniors just want to be safe or stay in touch with family and friends, so the Senior Mobile cell phone doesn’t play games, take pictures or go on the Internet, which makes it among the easiest cell phones to use in the world,” said Martin. Thousands of Kendallville area seniors are expected to call to get the free Senior Mobile cell phones today. So if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N

N KEEPS YOU SAFE: The phone lines are ringing off the hook. That’s because brand new Senior Mobile cell phones are being handed over to Kendallville area seniors for free just by covering a simple one-time activation fee before the deadline ends. “I’m so happy we got the phones.

The Senior Mobile’s exclusive large red E safety button is a real life saver in any emergency situation. It immediately sends help wherever you are by instantly calling emergency medical, police, fire and rescue for free. “I love the fact that we can just push a button and instantly get help wherever we’re at,” said Carol G.

Ᏽ Do I have to pay for minutes: No. Seniors who plan on using the phone just for emergencies get unlimited emergency calls for free.

Albers (2-0) allowed just two singles, walked none and struck out two. Brian Dozier and Trevor Plouffe homered to help the Twins win for the eighth time in 11 games. Prized prospect Danny Salazar (1-1) gave up three runs on three hits with three walks and five strikeouts in four innings. The slumping Indians have lost seven of their last eight and are in danger of sliding out of the playoff chase. Jason Kipnis and Yan Gomes had the only hits for Cleveland. Albers, a soft-tossing lefty from Canada, had Tommy John surgery in 2009 and made his big league debut at 27 years old in his last start. He threw 8 1-3 scoreless innings at Kansas City and now has ripped off 17 1-3 straight scoreless to start his career. He kept the Indians off-balance with an assortment of breaking pitches all night, outshining the overpowering Salazar in the process. Salazar, 23, blazed through Cleveland’s minor league system, striking out 129 in 21 outings. That didn’t stop when he got called up. A fastball in the high 90s, a superb changeup and the benefit of facing hitters who have never seen him before helping him rack up 17 strikeouts and walk only two in his first two starts. The velocity was there in start No. 3, but the command wasn’t. Dozier hit Salazar’s second pitch of the game out of the park and Plouffe hit a 96-mph fastball out for a two-run homer in the second. Just when Salazar appeared to be settling in, he walked the bases loaded with one out in the fourth. He was able to wiggle out of the jam without allowing any runs, but with so much on the line for the Indians as September approaches, manager Terry Francona didn’t leave him out there. Albers was ahead 0-2 on 10 of the first 20 batters he faced, never hitting higher than 88 mph on the Target Field radar gun. He had a perfect game going until Kipnis blooped a soft single to center field with two outs in the fourth and got some help from some spectacular defense along the way.

White Sox handle Tigers Latos leads Reds to 2-0 shutout of Cubbies CHICAGO (AP) — Chris Sale scattered nine hits in his third complete game of the season, and the Chicago White Sox overcame Miguel Cabrera’s fourth homer in fourth games to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-2 on Monday night. Josh Phegley, Gordon Beckham and Alexei Ramirez singled in runs in a three-run fifth inning as Chicago handed AL Central-leading Detroit its third loss in four games. Beckham and Jeff Keppinger each had three hits. Phegley added a second RBI single and Alejandro De Aza hit a sacrifice fly in a two-run eighth that put away the game. Sale (8-11) struck out six and walked none, winning his second straight start after going 1-9 in his previous 11. Doug Fister (10-6) gave up four runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings.

Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Latos, who had been 3-0 with a 1.73 ERA since the All-Star break, allowed six hits and struck out nine for the Reds, who gained a half-game on idle Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the NL Central.

Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth inning for his 28th save in 32 tries to hand the Cubs their third straight home shutout loss. They have gone 32 2-3 innings without a run at Wrigley Field.

Colts’ Irsay unhappy with opener INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts owner Jim Irsay didn’t like anything he saw Sunday against Buffalo. So on Monday, he apologized to the fans. “Many starters played briefly or were nursing little injuries, but it was a crap performance, my apologies/My commanders got n earful from me!” he tweeted less than 24 hours after an embarrassing 44-20 loss to Buffalo. Irsay had reason to be upset considering he spent nearly $140 million on free agents to improve his team. He thought he was getting a stouter defense, a more physical offense and a much better special teams unit — and he still might. But Sunday’s debacle in the preseason opener didn’t give anybody reason to suspect those areas would be any stronger in 2013 than they were in 2012. Buffalo set a new franchise record for points in a preseason game. While Indy’s return game mostly stalled, Bills receiver Marquise Goodwin returned two kickoffs, setting up one Bills scoring drive with a 53-yard return and scoring on a 107-yard return. And while the Colts averaged 4.4 yards per carry, the starting offensive line allowed Andrew Luck to get blasted on a blind-side sack and Chandler Harnish spent most of the final 2½ quarters under duress. The Colts also committed three turnovers and were outscored 41-10 over the final three quarters. Of course, there are explanations. Luck played only two series. Backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck played only three, and most of Indy’s starters were on the sideline after just three series. Yet coach Chuck Pagano

Indianapolis Colts’ Chandler Harnish (5) is sacked by Buffalo Bills’ Kip Edwards (39) during the second half of an NFL preseason football game Sunday in Indianapolis.

expected a better overall performance from a team that is supposed to be much deeper than it was a year ago. “We’ve got to do a better job technique-wise up front, staying on our feet and making sure we turn the ball back inside,” Pagano said when asked about the defense. “They got outside our corners. Guys played physical, played tough, we just didn’t play smart in certain situations.” Bad preseason results don’t always mean anything, of course. From 2005-11, the Colts went just 5-25 in preseason games, yet

made the playoffs six times and reached the Super Bowl twice. Last season, the rebuilt Colts used the preseason to get in sync and build confidence. They went up 2-2 before making a historic nine-game improvement over 2011 and returned to the playoffs. This one, though, just felt different. “We didn’t play good Colts football. We have to do better,” receiver Reggie Wayne said Sunday. “We had some good plays but we had a ton of bad plays, so hopefully we can correct those and get better for next week.”

Five-time Pro Bowler Robert Mathis concurred. “A lot of the stuff that happened, we feel like it’s our own fault,” he said. “We shot ourselves in the foot, not concentrating on the mental side of the football. So that kind of was our downfall.” The Colts got even worse news on the injury front Monday. One day after telling reporters that tight end Dwayne Allen would miss a couple of weeks with a foot injury, Pagano said backup linebacker Justin Hickman would likely miss the rest of the season with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot. Doctors, Pagano said, have recommended surgery. Hickman was injured early in the second quarter and limped off the field. “Just feel sick for Justin and all those type of things,” Pagano said. “That hurts us to lose a guy, hurts us to lose anybody, but obviously feel bad for Hick.” Cornerback Cassius Vaughn, who left the game in the second half with a wrist injury, is listed as day-to-day after X-rays came back negative. Rookie defensive tackle Montori Hughes also is considered day-to-day after leaving with a stinger, and linebacker Quinton Spears who left in the first half with a hamstring injury is likely to miss about a week. But the bigger issue for the Colts right now is fixing their mistakes — and making their owner happy. “We’ll go back to work, get back up to Anderson and get things fixed and come back and put this one behind us,” Pagano said. “We obviously have got to play better and we will play better.”

Darvish masters Astros HOUSTON (AP) — Yu Darvish was nearly perfect against the Astros once again, taking a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and striking out a career-high 15 to lead the Texas Rangers over Houston 2-1 Monday for their eighth straight win. Darvish dominated the Astros until Carlos Corporan lined a home run into the right-field seats with one out in the eighth for Houston’s only hit. Outfielder Alex Rios chased Corporan’s drive to the wall, but had to watch as it sailed about five rows into the stands. Darvish simply looked around, then wiped his brow with his arm before preparing to throw his next pitch. Until the homer, Houston’s lone runner came when rookie Jonathan Villar drew a two-out walk on a full count in the sixth. Texas catcher A.J. Pierzynski was ejected for arguing with plate umpire Ron Kulpa over a AP breaking pitch he called low Texas Rangers’ Yu Darvish delivers a pitch against the for ball four. Houston Astros in the first inning of a baseball game In early April, Darvish (12-5) was one out away from Monday in Houston. a perfect game at Minute Astros. With two outs in Darvish struck out 14 in Maid Park before Marwin the first, Ian Kinsler and Gonzalez singled between his four prior games this years, Adrian Beltre doubled and including his earlier gem at legs. Pierzynski hit an RBI single Houston. This time, the two-time off Brett Oberholtzer (2-1). Joe Nathan pitched a All-Star ace from Japan was Oberholtzer yielded equally sharp. Darvish retired perfect ninth for his 35th seven hits and two runs save. the last two batters in eighth with six strikeouts in 6 2-3 The AL West-leading and exited, having increased innings for his first loss in Rangers took a quick his major league-leading three major league starts. lead over the last-place strikeout total to 207.

The Houston hitters had no such luck with Darvish. Darvish was strong from the start relying mostly on a four-seam fastball, sliders and a cutter against the Astros’ inexperienced lineup. He struck out the side in the first inning before getting two fly outs and a ground out in the second. The 26-year-old righty fanned two each in the third and fourth innings, struck out the side in the fifth and the first batter of the sixth inning. His strikeout of Chris Carter to start the fifth was his 200th of the season, giving him a team record for fewest games (23) needed to reach the mark. In the sixth, Darvish started walking off the mound after his close pitch to Villar. Pierzynski also began heading to the dugout, but Kulpa said it missed. Pierzynski didn’t like the call, started yelling in Kulpa’s face and was quickly tossed. Geovany Soto took at catcher and Darvish walked Villar on a full count. Darvish, a two-time MVP in Japan, flirted with perfection last Sept. 3, too, retiring the first 17 batters at Kansas City. Notes: Darvish set rookie franchise records for wins (16) and strikeouts (221) last season. He finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting behind winner Mike Trout and Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.

Mingo makes major 1st impression BEREA, Ohio (AP) — There seemed to be four guys wearing No. 51 for the Browns in their exhibition opener. Rookie linebacker Barkevious Mingo was everywhere. The first-round draft pick made a huge first impression in his NFL debut, making big plays on defense and special teams in Cleveland’s 27-19 preseason win over the St. Louis Rams. Mingo, taken sixth overall out of LSU in April’s draft, had several pressures on Rams quarterbacks, recorded a sack that was nullified by a penalty, delivered a key block on Travis Benjamin’s 91-yard punt return for a touchdown and made a tackle on a kickoff. At one point, his brown jersey was even spotted in the Dawg Pound. That was just a fan, but he’ll soon be joined by others. “It was fun, man,” Mingo said. “It was everything I thought it would be. I enjoyed being out there with my teammates and just really enjoyed getting back to playing football.” Mingo maximized every second he was on the field. On Cleveland’s first kickoff, he sprinted down and tackled Rams running back Isaiah Pead at the 14-yard line. But it was on defense that the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Mingo — everyone calls him Keke (key-key) — had his finest moments. Although he’s currently working with the secondteam defense, Mingo showcased his exceptional pass-rushing skills and speed off the edge that forced Rams quarterbacks into mistakes.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Barkevious Mingo (51) rushes past fullback Owen Marecic during training camp at the NFL football team’s facility in Berea, Ohio, Monday.

Linebacker D’Qwell Jackson was impressed by Mingo’s performance. The moment didn’t seem too big for him. “He has a knack for getting after the quarterback,” Jackson said. “He showed a tremendous amount of conditioning. For your first game, it usually jumps up on you. Everyone remembers that first preseason game. You take a couple deep breaths and you’re like, ‘OK, this is the real deal.’ But I watched him every play. He’s got a knack for getting after that quarterback. “He has a motor, and you can’t teach that.” Mingo’s motor revs non-stop. He’s always on the go, and even when he’s not moving there’s a sense he’s about to accelerate. Mingo wasn’t credited with a tackle, but it seemed every time Rams backup quarterback Austin Davis

was back to pass, Mingo was in the neighborhood. He appeared to record his first sack when he beat Rams backup tackle and former LSU teammate Joe Barksdale on a spin move, reached out and threw down Davis with one hand. However, the sack was wiped out by a tripping penalty. Mingo waved his arms toward Cleveland’s sideline, hoping the penalty would be declined. Still, it was a moment to savor. “It was kind of flukish,” Mingo said. “I just barely got a hand on him and he fell.” It hasn’t taken long for Mingo to win over his teammates. He’s still a rookie, and subjected to the same treatment as other first-year players. He got a haircut like all the other “rooks” last week. But Cleveland’s veterans have taken note of Mingo’s humility and work ethic. “He’s a freak, man,”

cornerback Joe Haden said. “He just covers so much ground. And the thing that I like about Mingo, he’s not flashy, he doesn’t talk. He just goes out there, handles his business.” In practice, Mingo has made some of the Browns offensive lineman look silly with his exceptional speed. During one-on-one drills, he’s often the star, blowing past tackles and guards with a spinning move. But Mingo also knows he needs to diversify his repertoire to get to the quarterback. “You can’t go in there with (just a) fastball,” Mingo said. “You’ve kind of got to play off the guy that’s blocking you and use his energy to help make the play.” On Monday, Mingo spent a few minutes on the side going over some hand-fighting techniques with Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas, who was offering a few tips to Cleveland’s young linebacker. Browns safety T.J. Ward said Mingo stands apart for more than being physically gifted. “Mingo works hard, that’s the first thing.” Ward said. “He has that desire just to be good, and that’s the first thing I like about him — he’s hard-working and just his natural ability, he’s one of the most athletic guys I’ve come across. He’s going to help this team. “He was a high draft pick, so some of the things that he’s doing are what you would expect from someone taken that high, but it’s his intangibles that make him a little bit different rookie.”

Yankees nip L.A. Angels, 2-1 NEW YORK (AP) — Minus Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning, the New York Yankees used a pair of relievers to close out the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 Monday night and preserve the win for Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda (11-7) tossed three-hit ball for eight shutout innings. Rivera was given the night off after blowing three straight save chances, including one Sunday. Fans chanted “We want Mo!” after Boone Logan relieved to begin the ninth and allowed a leadoff single to J.B. Shuck that hit first base. Rivera was not even seen in the Yankees bullpen in the ninth. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the game that he wanted to give Rivera a night off after the career saves leader pitched three times in the past five days. The Angels got close after Logan struck out Kole Calhoun. Robertson walked Mike Trout, and Josh Hamilton followed with a flare just beyond the reach of third baseman Alex Rodriguez for an RBI double. Erick Aybar was intentionally walked to load the bases. Robertson then struck out Mark Trumbo and ex-Yankee Chris Nelson on a high, full-count pitch to

end it for his first save this seson. Curtis Granderson homered in the seventh inning and Brett Gardner had an RBI single in the third. The Yankees’ most dependable starter, Kuroda has not allowed a run in five of his last seven outings to lower his ERA to 2.33. An Angels lineup missing injured Albert Pujols reached base only four times against the Japanese right-hander. Kuroda struck out seven and walked one. Granderson connected off Garrett Richards for his third homer of the season in his 59th at-bat of an injuryplagued season. Richards (3-4) was impressive in his first start at Yankee Stadium since his big league debut in 2011. He allowed seven hits in eight innings and made several nice plays on comebackers. Rodriguez started at third base for the second straight day for the first time since returning from hip surgery last week. The fickle New York fans gave him a mixed reception when he came to the plate it in the first, and cheered when he singled. But the boos grew as he hit into two 6-4-3 double plays, one in the fourth and another in the sixth, the latter with runners on first and second and one out.

Big 9th inning lifts A’s past Jays TORONTO (AP) — Alberto Callaspo is quickly turning into quite the deadline acquisition for the Oakland Athletics. Callaspo hit a tiebreaking two-run double in Oakland’s four-run ninth inning, leading the Athletics to a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Callaspo, who was acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels on July 30, also had a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 6-4 win at Toronto. The clutch hit in the series finale came against closer Casey Janssen (4-1) with one out and the bases loaded. “It gets you closer to your team,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said of Callaspo’s pair of big swings. “It’s very difficult to come into a club late in the year and feel comfortable. The more you do that in those type of situations, the more comfortable you feel, the more part of it you feel, and rightly so.” Callaspo is batting .292 with four RBIs in 10 games with Oakland. Teammate Josh Donaldson said he’s happy to have Callaspo on

his side. “It shows that the trade paid off,” Donaldson said. “He’s a solid player, he’s scrappy. Against us it seemed like he would get that big RBI to either put them back in the game or give them the lead. So far, he’s been doing the same thing over here.” Monday’s decisive hit came after Callaspo made an error in the eighth that allowed the Blue Jays to score the tying run. “He definitely made up for it,” Melvin said. The Athletics had lost six of seven before arriving in Toronto, but took three of four from the last-place Blue Jays. Oakland began the day one game back of AL West-leading Texas. “I feel like it definitely got us back on the right track,” Athletics starter Dan Straily said. Oakland outfielder Josh Reddick, who hit five home runs in the first two games of the series, failed to go deep for the second straight game. Reddick walked in the second, flied out in his next two at-bats and was intentionally walked in the ninth.

Dufner makes most of his 2nd major chance PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Jason Dufner doesn’t have the same set of skills as Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott, though his career has shared the same path — from a memorable collapse at a major championship to redemption in pretty short order. And in this sport, redemption doesn’t always come easily. Just ask Dustin Johnson or Thomas Bjorn. There’s an even longer list of players who gave away majors in the final hour and never so much as earned another shot, such as Ed Sneed or Mike Reid. There was reason to believe Dufner might be part of the latter group. Go back just two years to Atlanta Athletic Club to find Dufner standing on the 15th tee with the PGA Championship in his hands. He was four shots clear of Anders Hansen and five ahead of Keegan Bradley, who had just made a triple bogey on the par-3 15th. What followed was painful to

watch. Dufner hit into the water and made bogey on the 15th. He hit into a bunker right of the 16th and made bogey. He hit the middle of the 17th green and still made bogey with a three-putt. Bradley answered with back-toback birdies to catch Dufner, and then beat him in a playoff. “Maybe looking back 10, 15 years from now, I’ll feel disappointment that I let this one get away if I never get another chance,” Dufner said that day. He was certain there would be more opportunities. But then, everyone feels that way. McIlroy had a four-shot lead at the Masters in 2010 and shot 80 to tie the record for the worst score by a 54-hole leader. He vowed to learn from his mistakes, and it was the shortest lesson in major championship history. He won the very next major by setting the U.S. Open record of 268 at Congressional for an eight-shot win. That wasn’t a

huge surprise. McIlroy is a special player. More agonizing was watching Scott make bogey on the last four holes at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, turning a four-shot lead with four holes to play into another British Open title for Ernie Els. Scott promised he would do better the next time. He truly believed there would be a next time, and he waited only two more majors to win the Masters. Dufner didn’t have that pedigree. When he threw away his shot at the PGA Championship, he had never won on the PGA Tour and never cracked the top 30 on the money list. At age 34, it was only his second year playing all four majors. Would he ever get another chance like that? Yes. And when he least expected it. That experience in Atlanta served Dufner well in the short term. He won twice on the PGA Tour the next year. He made the Ryder Cup team and went 3-1.

And his popularity as the guy with no pulse took off when he was caught by a camera slumping against the wall, zoned out, while sitting next to elementary school children learning about focus. On the golf course, however, his game was ordinary. He was an afterthought at most tournaments. His only top 10s were in the U.S. Open and Bridgestone Invitational, and he didn’t have a chance to win either one. Without warning, his opportunity arrived at Oak Hill when he produced the 26th round of 63 in a major to take the 36-hole lead, and at least got into the last group. Dufner executed his game so beautifully on Sunday that he made the last two hours about as exciting as he looks. But it was the blueprint for winning this major. With a two-shot lead over Jim Furyk going to the back nine, he matched scores with Furyk on every hole the rest of the way — even bogeys on the last two holes — for a 68 to win by two.

SPORTS BRIEFS • 76ers hire new coach PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Four months later, the Philadelphia 76ers have a new coach. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Monday the Sixers have hired San Antonio assistant Brett Brown to replace Doug Collins, who resigned in April. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move has not been officially announced. New general manager Sam Hinkie took quite a while looking for a replacement before choosing Brown, who was B. Brown part of three NBA title teams with San Antonio. The 52-year-old Brown was an assistant under Gregg Popovich since 2002. He also coached the Australian men’s national team from 2009-12, and played a key role in helping Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker develop into All-Stars with the Spurs. Brown is the franchise’s 24th coach and eighth since Larry Brown resigned in 2003. Brett Brown inherits a team completely rebuilding. Hinkie, who was hired away from Houston, traded All-Star guard Jrue Holiday to New Orleans on draft night for the rights to Kentucky center Nerlens Noel. Hinkie also drafted Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams with the 11th overall pick in the first round. Collins stepped down after the Sixers went 34-48, a year after advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals. A season that began with promise after the acquisition of former All-Star center Andrew Bynum unraveled quickly, and Bynum never played a game in a Sixers uniform because of knee problems. Collins left with one year remaining on his original four-year deal worth $4.5 million. He led the Sixers to the playoffs his first two seasons.

Miami, Louisville change signing rules for fan events BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The fallout from the Johnny Manziel autograph allegations prompted Louisville and Miami to announce changes to their signing policies Monday. At Miami’s annual CanesFest on Saturday, the Hurricanes will be signing only school-issued posters and nothing else. And when Louisville has its Fan Day on Sunday, players won’t be permitted to sign anything in response to what Cardinals coach Charlie Strong called “a national problem.” Both schools said the moves are being made because of ongoing concerns about college athletes and autograph sales, and neither mentioned Manziel by name. ESPN reported earlier this month that Manziel, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is being investigated by the NCAA amid allegations that he took money in exchange for signing memorabilia. If true, Manziel’s eligibility and Heisman standing would both be jeopardized. “We have monitored the situation closely, and we decided to protect the eligibility of our players and operate under the principle that it not permissible to accept any type of compensation for their autograph or the sale of memorabilia,” Strong said in a statement released through the school. “I know this will disappoint a lot of our fans, especially the young children who look up to our players, but I strongly feel this is the best decision for our football program.” Other schools, including South Carolina and Ohio State, have acknowledged in recent days that they have looked into whether some of their star players — such as Jadeveon Clowney for the Gamecocks and the Buckeyes’ Braxton Miller — broke any NCAA rules by signing memorabilia that others are selling on eBay and in other manners. Miami’s decision to limit player signings to posters that the school will distribute — one per fan who shows up Saturday — would figure to at least slow down anyone who planned to attend CanesFest solely to get autographs for resale. Miami fans have brought items such as photos, shirts, footballs and helmets for players to sign at past events like CanesFest. Strong said he’s offering fans something else instead of autographs: Sunday’s planned full-pads practice will be open to spectators.

KC’s Charles suffers foot injury ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles climbed into a green cart midway through practice Monday, favoring his right foot, and started to unbuckle his shoulder pads as he was taken to the Chiefs’ locker room. Cue the hundreds of tweets speculating about his injury. By the time practice ended and coach Andy Reid finally had a chance to brief reporters — it turned out to be a strained foot and X-rays were negative — just about anybody with an interest in the Chiefs was wondering how long the Pro Bowl running back would be out. Cue the rush of tweets telling folks to calm down. “We’ll just see how he does. Precautionary measures,” Reid said. “We’ll see how he does here in the next little bit — see where he’s at as far as pain or swelling. We’ll see how he does.” Reid wouldn’t say for sure whether Charles will play Friday night against San Francisco. “If he’s ready to go,” Reid said, “he’ll play.”

Scooter issues spark petition for new laws Momentum is building to improve the laws regulating scooters in Indiana. Three state legislators from the Evansville area — representing both political parties — have launched a petition drive with a simple statement: “I think the Requiring a driver’s state and laws license to operate a local regarding scooter could take a scooters be large share of scooter should updated for riders off the roads. the safety of those who use our roadways.” The legislators issued a statement saying Indiana suffers from “a glaring lack of laws covering these vehicles.” Their statement continues: “… we feel the time is now to start building a consensus for legislation that covers registration, licensing, safety training and insurance for motorized scooters.” Under current rules, no license or insurance is required to operate a scooter, but riders must be at least 15 years old and possess either a driver’s license or state-issued identification card. Riders under age 18 are required to wear helmets and eye protection. Giving urgency to the push for better rules, state statistics show the number of accidents involving scooters across Indiana has increased from 310 in 2004 to 1,177 in 2012. Evansville police, who are supporting the campaign for better laws, have kept statistics illustrating the problems with scooters. In 2008, the southwest Indiana city saw nine accidents involving scooters. In 2012, the number grew to 90 scooter-related accidents. Scooter drivers were responsible for 52 of those accidents, and none of them had insurance. Only three of them had valid driver’s licenses. Of the 90 scooter drivers involved in accidents in Evansville, 32 had their driver’s licenses suspended — and 22 of them had multiple license suspensions. Many of the people on scooters are riding them because they are not allowed to drive automobiles. Requiring a driver’s license to operate a scooter could take a large share of scooter riders off the roads. That may be why efforts to regulate scooters at the state level died in the Legislature in 2012 and last winter. Scooter supporters say dangerous operators make up a tiny percentage of the estimated 50,000 scooter riders. They add that scooters allow people who have lost their driving privileges to keep their jobs until they are reinstated. However, a law requiring registration would not prevent anyone from riding a scooter. It might help solve some scooter thefts, which have quadrupled in recent years, according to Evansville’s statistics. Insurance also would be a reasonable requirement. The scooter rider may be at the greatest risk in a collision, but other people and vehicles can be harmed, too. We hope Indiana legislators will take a serious look at scooter laws in 2014, and that the effort to reform those laws won’t run out of gas.

Letters to The Editor • Few understand threat of Common Core To the editor: The Common Core State Standards Initiative is the nationalization of education under the control of the federal government. What is most remarkable is how so few people know anything about it! We are in a near-total information blackout on an issue which will have a larger impact than all of ObamaCare! Keeping Common Core off the public radar is part of the strategy. Common Core has never received any legislative review or public scrutiny let alone pilot testing! Perhaps they figure that if parents know what is happening and what it really means for every child in this nation, there would be a general uprising against it. They have succeeded so far. Common Core was approved behind closed doors by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats on the Indiana State

Board of Education who voted unanimously for it three times without ever knowing what the new standards were! And Gov. Pence has re-appointed two of these same board members to another term! They agreed to implement only the mathematics and the English language arts portions of the program without ever seeing what the standards were for the rest of the curriculum. Why? Did they think that math and English would draw the least outcry? Most people, even teachers, administrators and school board members, appear not to understand the wider scope of the program nor the philosophies that fuel its goals. I made Common Core a part of my campaign for state representative in the last election, but I was met with blank stares. Was it because I spoke out against Republicans Daniels and Bennett, who rammed the program down our throats? Those in favor of Common Core want us to think that these

are “state” standards, which they are not, because the federal government is prohibited by two laws from imposing them directly. It is an Obama trick of going around Congress and the American people. Common Core is built on what is called “cozy capitalism,” where private businesses jump into bed with government in order to gain an unfair advantage over their competition; not to mention laying hold of all that “public” money. Does anyone understand that if Common Core is implemented it will mark the end of what we know as “public” education? The state of Indiana has essentially sold its children for 30 pieces of silver to a combine of private businesses who stand to benefit at the expense of taxpayers. Few people realize that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a dominant bankroller of Common Core. Just exactly who do you think is going to sell all of those computers and the software to run them to every school in the nation? Few people realize that the

Pearson Publishing Co. has been buying up every textbook publishing business it can while keeping the individual company’s name to hide their involvement. Just exactly who do you think will be selling all those textbooks for every child to every school in the nation? Few people realize that all testing will be “aligned” with Common Core including the SATs and ACTs along with other required tests for college admission. David Coleman, the chief architect of Common Core, became the president of the College Board last year. Even now our Republican leaders are seeking to limit the public debate to a narrowly defined discussion of only the standards “in themselves” while ignoring the whole constellation of controls being forced simultaneously upon us along with the standards. Do Indiana legislators have the political will and financial courage to say, “NO!” to nationalized education? David Powers Auburn

A touch of greatness that becomes greater KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Two old men, neither particularly grumpy, have been in the news in recent weeks, and their re-emergence in the public eye is a sobering reminder of how different is our civic life than even a few years ago. At times in their lives, George H.W. Bush, 89, and Robert J. Dole, 90, were bitter rivals and fierce pugilists. Today the two men are beloved figures, Bush celebrated for shaving his hair in support of a Secret Serviceman whose 2-year-old is battling cancer, Dole feted in the capital this summer upon entering his 10th decade. Twice, in 1980 and in 1988, the two men fought each other for the Republican presidential nomination. These battles were brutal, and no one who witnessed them will ever forget the intensity of their rivalry and the depth of their enmity. But that was long ago, almost in another country entirely. This summer Bush wrote Dole with birthday greetings, joking that the former Kansas senator was much older than the former president. These two men’s lives have been intertwined for decades. They served as consecutive chairmen of the Republican National Committee during Watergate, a job nobody, including themselves, wanted. They were consecutive GOP nominees for vice president and then consecutive Republican nominees for president. One of them was on the Republican ticket for six consecutive elections, between 1976 and 1996, a remarkable period of personal political prominence. In their day these two men — once the two fastest walkers in the capital, now slowed by age — controlled two of the three branches of the government in ways that have no modern analogue. Bush may have been a one-term president, but for parts of his tenure he rode a crest of popularity matched in modern history only by his son after the terrorist attacks of 2001. Dole may have lost two GOP nomination fights before capturing the prize in 1996 (only to lose to Bill Clinton in the general election), but his reign as Republican Senate leader stands out for its crispness, efficiency, productivity — and civility. Today they are frail, seldom appearing

in public. But while many men seem to shrink as they age, these two seem to have grown, perhaps not physically but surely in the eyes of the countrymen both sought to serve. Indeed, these men today sometimes seem to be giants. Wait, you might say, don’t the political figures of old always seem bigger than those of the present, the way Al Kaline and Carl Yastrzemski and Henry Aaron seem more DAVID M. formidable in memory than today’s ballplayers SHRIBMAN do in reality? Aren’t these two men like Bart Starr and Jim Brown, dominant in their day but somehow larger than they really were now that they are firmly rooted in an era long past? Perhaps not. Bush and Dole are of a different era — but also of a completely different outlook from today’s political figures. They were personally ambitious, to be sure. Dole never was satisfied as a sovereign on Capitol Hill and, unlike House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., who devoutly believed that presiding over one of the houses of the Congress was more noble than serving in the White House, he ardently, almost maniacally, sought the presidency. Bush relentlessly pursued higher office as a higher calling than the oil business, which he entered shortly after graduating from Yale. But despite their ambition, the two men — of different geographical, educational and economic backgrounds — shared service in World War II, where they both had distinguished records. Bush flew 58 missions in a single-engine aircraft, one of which ended in a rescue at sea by a submarine, and won a Distinguished Flying Cross. Dole was injured in the last days of the war in Italy, winning two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star but requiring years of surgery and therapy even to walk down the street in his hometown of Russell, Kan. They returned to civilian life with a strong sense of nation — and of national service.

•

Both were strong partisans and ferocious fighters. But both believed that compromise rather than contention was the grease that made the political machinery work. Bush once issued a read-my-lips disavowal of new taxes, only to embrace new revenues in a 1990 budget agreement with the Democrats that enraged Republican Rep. Newt Gingrich. Gingrich was a great critic of Dole, as well, whom he archly described as the tax collector for the welfare state, a critique that stung for decades. As Senate leader, Dole believed reaching the deal was the highest achievement of a legislative leader. Despite the respect each had for the other, the two never were close. Their backgrounds — suburban Connecticut, rural Kansas — were too different, and so were their interests, temperaments and styles. But they shared much, including strong senses of humor and occasional bouts of failing to humor their rivals. Dole could devastate with a verbal aside, then charm with a quick quip. Bush once exclaimed to House Ways and Means chairman Dan Rostenkowski: “If you’re so goddamned smart, how come you’re not the president?” Later, when he retired from office, the playful domain name of his email address was “flfw.com” for “former leader of the free world.” The other afternoon Bush powered his wheelchair, the words “President of the United States” emblazoned on the back, to a bluff overlooking the sea. In the countryquiet of the noon hour he wanted to peer out onto the ocean, to the view he grew to love as a boy collecting starfish and shells. He seemed much the ancient mariner, as Dole now seems much the ancient infantryman. It was only a few days after his new haircut, and the 41st president — his tribute to the young leukemia victim fresh, but his determination to fight childhood cancer as old as his memories of his daughter Robin, who died of leukemia at age 3 — asked his visitors how they liked the new look. “Want to touch it?” he asked. It seemed rude not to. DAVID M. SHRIBMAN is the executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. His email is dshribman@post-gazette.com.

Was I wrong to object? — MAD IN MAINE DEAR MAD: Obviously, you and your sister aren’t close.

Replacement of both knees can be good option it’s worth talking to your doctor about replacing both knees at once. There are several benefits to simultaneous replacement.

Simultaneous replacement slightly increases the risk of blood clots or heart attack. However, such complications are rare. Still, simultaneous replacement is not for everyone. It is not recommended for patients with heart or lung disease or people over 80. If you have significant medical risks, you are probably better off having two separate operations.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees. Should I have both knees replaced at one time, or separately? DEAR READER: Knee replacement is a major operation and requires a hospital stay. During the procedure, the surgeon removes damaged sections of your shin bone and thigh bone. He or she carefully cuts the bone to precisely fit the shape of the replacement implants, then attaches the artificial joint at the knee. (I’ve put an illustration of the procedure on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Knee replacement also requires a rigorous program of physical therapy and rehabilitation after surgery. It’s just plain hard work. You need to be ready for that, as well. Should you conider having both knees replaced during a single surgery (simultaneous replacement)? If you are in good health,

needing a second surgery to fix problems. So having both knes replaced simultaneously surely is a reasonable option for many people. You and your doctor need to consider all of the issues mentioned above. Personally, I’m under 80; my arms are strong, and I have fun using crutches. So, if both of my knees had come to the end of the road and needed replacement, and if I had no underlying heart or lung disease, I’d probably choose simultaneous replacement of both knees. Whether you have your knees replaced together or separately, you’ll need to actively participate in a rehabilitation program. This will be a major factor in the success of your implant. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
