KENDALLVILLE — An explosive device capable of seriously injuring anyone in its vicinity was found Sunday night in the Maplecrest Apartments in Kendallville. At about 9:55 p.m. police received an anonymous caller that a bomb was located in the apartment complex at 612 E. Mitchell St. The complex is the former Lutheran Home and was converted into short-term apartments. It has been called the Lighthouse Apartments, and the Mitchell Street Apartments in the past. Kendallville police officers responded to the scene, and after a brief search found the device in

a common area. Officers believed it was an explosive device and evacuated the building, according to a police news release. Everyone had moved outside by 10:17 p.m. The Kendallville Fire Department was called to the scene to stand by for possible assistance. No additional devices were found after an extensive search of the building by police, and occupants returned to their apartments at about 10:40 p.m. Indiana State police bomb technicians were called to the scene. The device was processed for forensic evidence and then destroyed by the bomb technicians. “The explosive device was of sufficient size to have seriously SEE BUILDING, PAGE A6

Commissioners table stop sign change BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The Noble County Commissioners Monday voted 3-0 to table a plan to convert a four-way stop to a two-way stop. The move to gather more information about the proposed change came after a public hearing on the ordinance Monday. The commissioners were considering an ordinance to make a four-way stop at the intersection of C.R. 1000E and C.R. 415N/Lisbon Road into a two-way stop, with C.R. 1000E as a through road. County highway engineer Michael Fitch said a traffic study done this summer by Region III-A Developmental District supports the change, because traffic is much heavier on C.R. 1000E than C.R. 415N. More than 3,500 vehicles travel C.R. 1000E per day, while just under 500 travel C.R. 415N, Fitch said. The intersection currently sees one or two accidents per year, and no serious wrecks. “People blow through the intersection both ways all the time,” said Gwen Swogger, who has property there. “You’re

setting up a disaster. There’s going to be a racetrack on that road.” Commissioner Chad Kline said speed regulation is not considered a valid legal reason to have a stop sign. Fitch said other two-way-stop intersections on C.R. 1000E that have more cross-traffic do not have more crashes. “People on 1000E don’t like the idea of stopping. It’s purely an unnecessary stop,” Fitch said. Hertha Meyer, who lives and co-owns a business on C.R. 415N, said the traffic study should have been done in the fall, when her business is in operation, since at least 80 vehicles per day, including school buses, come to Orchard Hill Farms during its busy season. When asked, Meyer acknowledged the traffic also increases on C.R. 1000E during the season, due to people using C.R. 1000E to reach C.R. 415N. The commissioners voted that a second traffic study should be made during October, and they tabled any action on the sign ordinance until the results of that study are in.

Also Monday, commissioners: • voted 3-0 to declare a mobile home damaged by fire 15 years ago a dangerous building and order its owners to remove it or face a $4,000 fine. The family of Jack Wonderly failed to take any action toward removing the unsafe building within 60 days, Noble County building inspector Richard Adair said. The only change was that an exterior door had been removed from its hinges. The owners have 60 days to remove the property or be fined the estimated cost for the county to remove it, $4,000. The commissioners will hear a report on the status of the removal Oct. 21, at which they could impose the fine. • learned the county will receive more money for E-911 dispatching from the state in 2014. The state will increase funding for E-911 by 1.4 percent starting in September, Noble County E-911 executive director Mitch Fiandt said. That will bring the money the county will receive from $542,859 for the current fiscal year to $564,573 for fiscal 2014.

Court ruling raises possibility of release for Hosni Mubarak

CAIRO (AP) — A court ruling Monday raised the possibility of jailed ex-president Hosni Mubarak walking free soon, a move that would fuel the unrest roiling the country after the autocratic leader’s successor was removed in a military coup. Underscoring the growing anger over Mohammed Morsi’s ouster, suspected Islamic militants ambushed two minibuses carrying off-duty policemen in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, forcing the men to lie on the sand and shooting 25 of them dead. “They were marked in advance by the attackers,” said Ashraf Abdullah, who heads the police branch the victims belonged to. He said the assailants checked the IDs of the men, who were not in uniform, to ensure they were policemen before opening fire. The brazen daylight attack raised fears that the strategic desert region bordering Israel and the Gaza Strip could be plunged into a full-fledged insurgency. The 25 slain police officers were given a funeral with full military honors presided over by Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the police, and the army’s chief of staff, Gen. Sedki Sobhi. In a show of solidarity, the men’s coffins, draped in red, white and black Egyptian flags, were jointly carried by army soldiers and policemen, and interim President Adly Mansour declared a nationwide state of mourning to mark their deaths.

Area unemployment rates improve in July FROM STAFF REPORTS

INDIANAPOLIS — Unemployment rates improved slightly throughout the four-county area in July, said data released Monday by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. LaGrange County saw the largest change, falling to 7.2 percent in July from the revised June figure of 7.6 percent. Noble County’s unemployment rate dropped 0.3 percentage points to 8.4 percent in July. DeKalb and Steuben counties each saw 0.2 percentage-point

drops, with DeKalb County’s unemployment rate falling to 8.4 percent and Steuben County’s falling to 8.5 percent. Steuben County’s unemployment rate tied for 34th highest in the monthly ranking of the state’s 92 counties. The labor force increased in July for all of the four counties except LaGrange. In Allen County, the labor force dropped by nearly 1,000 in July, as that county’s unemployment rate rose from 8.3 to 8.6 percent. The statewide unemployment

rate was unchanged at 8.4 percent despite the fourth month in a row of job growth in the private sector, the DWD said. Ellen Cutter, director with the Community Research Institute at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, said while there was some improvement, unemployment for the region actually increased. “Despite some positive dynamics, the unemployment rate for the 10-county region is 8.4 (percent), up slightly over last SEE RATES, PAGE A6

Group seeks to improve downtown LAGRANGE — Over a lunch of soup and sandwiches, a small group of about a dozen LaGrange businessmen and women, bankers and shop keepers sat down last Thursday and talked about what they always talk about during their monthly meetings — trying to find new and creative ways to help the town of the LaGrange become a more viable place to visit and shop. Focus LaGrange, a three-year-old organization grew out of earlier attempts to revitalize the downtown in this new economy. Like so many other small towns around America, LaGrange’s downtown is not what it once was. Sitting around a table at the New Hope Cafe, formerly Dee’s News Stand, the group’s chairman, Greg Todd, reads off a list of projects the group is considering tackling. On top of the

Auction raises mission money A volunteer holds up a small stool that created quite a buzz at Saturday’s Community Mission Auction in Ligonier. The stool was donated to the auction by Dr. Robert Stone of Ligonier. It came out of his office after he retired in May from 54 years medical practice in Ligonier. One bidder, Linda Hartzler, bought the stool for $700 and then returned it to the auction block to be sold again. Shirley Reed then bought it and announced she would donate it to the Luckey Hospital Museum in Wolf Lake. The auction was hosted by five Ligonier churches and brought in money that will be donated to various mission causes selected by the churches.

Another project, already in the works, is to create large colorful printed pieces of paper similar to designs seen on quilts and hang those in the windows of downtown businesses, particularly vacant business building windows, hoping to add what the group thinks is a needed splash of color to the downtown landscape. Todd isn’t fond of calling the group’s efforts an attempt to revitalize the downtown business district. Instead, Focus sees its mission as getting people to see what’s already there. “We’re just trying to help the town thrive, continue to add to the charm of LaGrange,” he explains, “and make LaGrange a destination.” Another proposal being discussed by the group is dressing up the Courthouse

Trooper member of Brick Ark Inn planning expansion new ISP dive team BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

INDIANAPOLIS — Ten Indiana State Police officers — including Wolcottville trooper Eric Meyers — were recognized by State Police superintendent Douglas Carter for their dedication and appointment to the department’s Underwater Search Rescue/Recovery Team. The scuba team members had recently completed their six month probationary period as divers and received their uniform pins from Superintendent Carter, designating them as USRT members. Superintendent Carter addressed the new diver’s with heartfelt emotion and respect. The superintendent started his diving career with the state police in 1986 when he attended the state police Basic Underwater Dive School. The superintendent recalled completing the school the hardest thing that he had ever done and respected the divers for their dedication to the program.

The state police BUDS program started in 1960 with 14 men that were sent to a six day scuba school. The program his since evolved into a 24 day school where more than 25 dives are completed combined with 40 hours of classroom work. USRT Commander Sgt. Alan Lowrance commented that the divers leaving the BUDS program today are well equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to safely navigate the often dangerous waters of public safety diving. Public safety divers often dive in less than ideal conditions including zero visibility and entanglement hazards, commented Lowrance. Today the state police have 35 divers on the USRT stationed around Indiana to respond to various types of water related incidents including evidence recovery, drowning, and swift water rescue.

METAL ROOFING

ALBION — Albion’s only overnight guest facility is planning an expansion, the Albion Redevelopment Commission learned Monday. Tammy Luce plans to add two more guest rooms to the Brick Ark Inn Bed & Breakfast, which she owns. Part of what is needed to accomplish this

is new windows, which are needed to regulate heating and cooling in the historic building, Luce said. Luce came seeking a $3,750 facade grant for 15 windows and $267 for facade work around the upstairs windows. That would be half of the cost of the projects through SL Home Improvement, which made the low quote on the project, she said.

The sign counts the days since any REMC employee suffered a lost time accident. As of Friday, the counter stood at 4,970 days. The number points to a pretty impressive industrial record. REMC employees have worked more than 13 straight years without any serious injuries, a record that stretches back to January 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going,â&#x20AC;? said Sheryl Rhinesmith, member services manager for the local co-op electrical utility. Even more impressive is that figure represents more than half a million man hours worked by the utility employees without a lost time accident, a major milestone for any business, but perhaps even more impressive considering REMC is an electrical utility. Just how dangerous a job is it being an electrical lineman? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One mistake and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dead,â&#x20AC;? said Rhinesmith. To achieve such a milestone, the local utility made safety more than just a priority, but the core of its day to day business. Safety, Rhinesmith explains is always part of the mission at the REMC.

Typically a dark, chocolate brown butterfly, a Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Satyr is a medium-sized butterfly. Environmentalists say biggest threat to its existence is its loss of habitat. Egli told the commissioners if the park department gains control of the land, it would be returned to its natural state, allowing it to once again become a wetland. While the land would then be open to the public, the park department plan calls to keep it as natural and wild as possible. The park board president

quickly evident when Levitz starts talking about the men who do the day to day work on REMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We practice safety every day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous working on hot lines,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I would put our guys up against anybody in the state, in the nation. These guys get the job done, and they work safe.â&#x20AC;?

Park land may expand

Two little words can keep you out of so much trouble.

THE

office staff, and not just the men who work with the wires and climb up and down the power poles. Lineman, the workers who install and maintain the power lines and equipment of the utility, hold weekly safety sessions to discuss the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s near misses. The lineman also constantly inspect their gear, and replace anything consider defective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut corners. A tiny hole in an insulated glove can be the difference between life or death,â&#x20AC;? Rhinesmith explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a big deal.â&#x20AC;? Dozens of employees, some of whom have since retired from the local firm, were part of the team that amassed the safety record. What makes the record even more impressive more is lineman now have to work on charged power lines. Power outages, even those for repairs, can harm power sensitive equipment, such as computers and other digital devices. Today utility customers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to see their power disconnected and those computers inadvertently shut down, even for a few minutes, said Dan Levitz, a former REMC lineman now working as the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy services specialist. And so the lineman often have to work with hot lines. Being a REMC lineman is no simple task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Way back when, linemen were basically just farm kids with strong backs, but those days are long gone,â&#x20AC;? Levitz explained.

also told the commissioners he believed two potential state grants the department is applying for would enable the park department to purchase the land without having to dip into county funds. The price of the property was not disclosed. In other business, the commissioners also heard about another effort to secure state monies, this time to help LaGrange County restore the exterior brickwork and stone foundation of the LaGrange County Courthouse. Building superintendent Gary Mast told the commissioners he has been working with Dalonda Young to apply for up to a $50,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources that could be used to help restore the 136year-old building. Mast said the total price tag to repair and restore the aging county landmark would be approximately $120,000. That would include repairing its exterior, repairing and repainting the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold dome and replacing its windows. Mast is also looking for the commissioners approval to quickly repair the flashing around all four of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cupolas. Those structures are deteriorating and at least one allows water to leak instead the building. The courthouse also needs a new boiler heating system. The commissioners gave their approval to Mast and Young to take the next step forward in seeking the state

grant. Cheri Perkins, the executive director of the LaGrange County Council on Aging, the organization that operates the LaGrange County Area Transit system, presented the commissioners with a completed state grant application that would fund the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation system for the coming year. The application is worth nearly $500,000, monies LCAT uses to operate. New this year in the application is a fund that would allow LCAT to purchase a new wheelchair accessible van. That part of the proposal, if approved, would cover 80 percent of the cost of that van, an estimated $40,000. The County would be liable for the remaining $10,000 of that price tag. The commissioners appointed Dennis Davis to fill a vacant Region D seat on the LaGrange County Regional Utility District board of directors. Davis, of Shipshewana, replaces Howard Slater who resigned. The commissioners also filled a vacant seat on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plan Commission. Tyler Young will replace Dalonda Young on that board. A proposal to create a special dog park near the Ark Animal Sanctuary for the use of Ark staff to exercise dogs in Arkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care was postponed so Ark representatives and the commissioners can better map out an exact location for the proposalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fenced in dog run.

Syrians swarm into Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) — Tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds swarmed across a bridge into neighboring Iraq’s northern self-ruled Kurdish region over the past few days in one of the biggest waves of refugees since the rebellion against President Bashar Assad began, U.N. officials said Monday. The sudden exodus of around 30,000 Syrians amid the summer heat has created desperate conditions and left aid agencies and the regional government struggling to accommodate them, illustrating the huge strain the 2½-year-old Syrian conflict has put on neighboring countries. The mostly Kurdish men, women and children who made the trek join some 1.9 million Syrians who already have found refuge abroad from Syria’s relentless carnage. “This is an unprecedented influx of refugees, and the main concern is that so many of them are stuck out in the open at the border or in emergency reception areas with limited, if any, access to basic services,” said Alan Paul, emergency team leader for the Britain-based charity Save the Children. “The refugee response in Iraq is already thinly stretched, and close to half of the refugees are children who have experienced things no child should,” he said, adding that thousands of refugees were stranded at the border, waiting to be registered. The U.N. said the reason for this flow, which began five days ago and continued unabated Monday, is unclear. But Kurdish areas in northeastern Syria have been engulfed by fighting in recent months between Kurdish militias and Islamic extremist rebel factions with links to al-Qaida. Dozens have been killed. Following the assassination of a prominent Kurdish leader late last month, a powerful Kurdish militia said it was mobilizing to expel Islamic extremists. On Monday, activists said fighters from al-Qaidalinked jihadi groups shelled areas in the predominantly Kurdish town of Ras al-Ayn with mortars and artillery, coinciding with clashes in the area between Kurdish gunmen and jihadi fighters.

Brief • Actor John Goodman gets honorary degree SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Actor John Goodman says he’s learned to be grateful for his blessings, rather than always striving for more. Goodman was awarded an honorary doctorate degree of humane letters Sunday during at the convocation at Missouri State University in Springfield. He graduated from the school with a fine arts degree in 1975. He says he originally went to Missouri State to play football but an injury led him to focus on drama. He says he owes his career to the school because its teachers helped him find and pursue his passion.

injured individuals who may have been nearby in the same room or close vicinity,” said Kendallville police chief Rob Wiley. He would not describe the device in detail, and said police will not release details while in the investigation is ongoing. No one had been arrested in the incident as of Monday night.

Wiley warns anyone who finds an item they believe to be an explosive device should not touch or move it but should immediately move away from the area and call 911. He also warned that the signal from a cellphone is capable of setting off certain types of explosive devices. “Any call made about a possible explosive device should be done safely from a

significant distance away,” he added. Anyone with information about Sunday night’s incident at Maplecrest Apartments should call Kendallville police at 347-0654. Kendallville police officers Sgt. Chris Shearer, Cpl. Joe Handshoe, and patrolmen Chris Harlan, Nate Stahl and Mathew Haber investigated the incident.

without Filner, he said, and should the mayor appear it could make female employees uncomfortable. “Those of us who have called on the mayor to resign know he is not being effective at this time,” Gloria said. “The mayor’s presence is a distraction.” The mayor has not made his schedule public. His spokeswoman Lena Lewis and lawyer James Payne did not respond to calls. More than a dozen women, including a university dean and a retired Navy rear admiral, have gone public with sexual harassment accusations against Filner. Some contend he cornered, groped and forcibly kissed them. The accusations have prompted an avalanche of calls for Filner to resign and a recall effort that started Sunday. Hooters restaurants in San Diego even posted signs saying he’s not welcome.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — City Hall opened as usual Monday but Mayor Bob Filner was nowhere to be found, still out of public view as he tries to survive a recall effort prompted by a cascade of sexual harassment allegations that led the entire City Council and many leading fellow Democrats to call for him to resign. City Council President Todd Gloria said he didn’t know if Filner would make a public appearance on Monday, the day the mayor promised to return to work after receiving two weeks of therapy to address behavioral issues. Filner is not obligated to show up but owes the people of San Diego an explanation of his whereabouts, Gloria said. The city’s daily operations have been running fine

Shark attacks teen surfer in Hawaii HILO, Hawaii (AP) — Hawaii authorities say the second shark attack in the state in less than a week has left a 16-year-old surfer with leg injuries. The Hawaii County Fire Department said the boy suffered injuries on both legs after he was bitten Sunday afternoon southeast of Hilo. He was airlifted to Hilo Medical Center for treatment. The boy’s condition isn’t clear. A call to the hospital’s spokeswoman was not immediately returned. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources closed ocean waters along the Pohoiki coastline after the attack. Earlier Sunday, officials closed Hapuna Beach on the Big Island’s northwestern shore after lifeguards spotted a shark.

LEADER: Mubarak has been detained since 2011 FROM PAGE A1

Despite the violence, Cairo, a bustling metropolis of some 18 million people, began to regain a sense of normalcy although the capital remained under a state of emergency and a dusk-todawn curfew. Daytime traffic was back to its normal congested levels and stores were open. Government employees returned to work and the Central Bank ordered banks, which were operating on a reduced 9 a.m.-noon schedule, to remain open for an additional hour on Tuesday. A handful of protests erupted in various parts of the city, but they were small and led to no violence. Mubarak, 85, has been in detention since April 2011, two months after he was ousted in a revolution against his rule. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison last year for failing to stop the killing of some 900 protesters

in the 18-day uprising. His sentence was overturned on appeal and he is now being retried, along with his security chief and six top police commanders. Two judicial officials said Mubarak could walk free this week or next after a criminal court on Monday ordered his release in a corruption case in which he and his two sons were accused of embezzling funds for the maintenance of presidential palaces. His sons were ordered kept in custody. Monday’s ruling, along with the fact that Mubarak had previously been ordered released in the killings of the protesters opened the possibility of freedom for the former president, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. There will no longer be any grounds to hold him if a court accepts a petition by his lawyer requesting his release in a third case later this week or next.

Many analysts, however, expressed skepticism, saying the political cost of freeing the former leader, who was widely hated for widespread abuses and repression during his 29 years in power, could keep him in jail. Leading rights campaigner Nasser Amin and rights lawyer Hoda Nasrallah said they did not expect Mubarak to be released, citing the country’s delicate political and security situation as well as past incidents when authorities brought up new allegations to prevent his release. Amin complained that Egypt’s penal law, which dates to the 1930s, has no adequate provisions to allow the conviction of perpetrators of crimes like ordering or failing to prevent the killing of protesters. Already, the overwhelming majority of court cases brought against policemen charged with killing protesters have ended in acquittals or suspended sentences.

Jobless rates rise in most states WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates rose in more than half of U.S. states in July and fewer states added jobs, echoing national data that show the job market may have lost some momentum. The Labor Department said Monday that unemployment rates increased in 28 states. They were unchanged in 14 and fell in eight states — the fewest to show a decline since January. Hiring increased in 32 states in July compared with June, the fewest to report job gains in three months. Seventeen states reported job losses. California, Georgia and Florida reported the largest job gains, while New Jersey and Nevada lost the most. Nationwide, hiring has been steady this year but slowed in July. Employers added 162,000 jobs, the fewest since March. The unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent, a 4 ½ -year low, from 7.6 percent. And while the job market has improved over the past 12 months, the gains appear

to be benefiting southern and western states most of all. Unemployment in the West fell to 7.9 percent in July. That’s down from 9.3 percent a year earlier and the biggest decline of the four regions. In the South, unemployment fell to 7.3 percent, from 7.8 percent a year ago. Unemployment has barely dipped in the Midwest, to 7.3 percent from 7.5 percent in the past year. In the Northeast, it dropped to 7.6 percent from 8.4 percent. Steve Cochrane, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, says southern and western states have seen steady growth in manufacturing jobs. And the South is also benefiting from lower taxes and cheaper labor. “Some of the old, long-standing comparative advantages are re-emerging as drivers of growth,” he added. California has propelled much of the gains in the West, adding 38,100 jobs in July to lead all states. And California has added

236,000 jobs in the past year, second only to Texas’s 293,000 jobs. Unemployment in California has fallen to 8.7 percent in July from 10.6 percent 12 months ago — the biggest year-over-year drop of any state. Another bright spot is Utah, which has gained the largest percentage of jobs in the past 12 months. Utah’s gains were in information technology, manufacturing and construction. In the South, Texas, Florida and Georgia have been driving job growth. Georgia added 30,900 jobs in July, the second most of any state. Much of the gains were in categories that include transportation, utilities, retail, hotels, restaurants and amusement parks. Nevada reported the nation’s highest unemployment rate in July, at 9.5 percent. It was followed by Illinois, 9.2 percent. North Dakota continues to have the nation’s lowest unemployment at 3 percent. South Dakota is close behind at 3.9 percent.

RATES: Region’s figure is identical to last July’s FROM PAGE A1

month … and is identical to the rate for last July. This stalling out is contrary to what has been observed at the state and national levels, in which year-over-year declines have been recorded for the last four years in Indiana and for the last three years

nationally,” Cutter said. “The current U.S. (non-seasonally adjusted) unemployment rate stands at 7.7 (percent). At this time last year, that rate was 8.6 (percent). The difference between our regional unemployment rate and that for the nation is growing.” July’s job gains totaled

5,900, the DWD said. The state has added more than 203,000 private-sector jobs since July 2009, the low point of employment in Indiana, with job growth occurring in 40 out of the past 43 months. “The Trade, Transportation and Utilities sector experienced the largest one-month growth since 1990,” said Scott B. Sanders, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “Initial claims for unemployment insurance in 2013 have been at their lowest levels since 2000, the peak of employment in the Hoosier state.” THIS STORY was posted on kpcnews.com at 10:45 a.m. Monday.

Reds down Diamondbacks CINCINNATI (AP) — Ryan Ludwick drove in his first run of the season with a double, and the Cincinnati Reds kept up their August surge, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 on Monday night for their seventh win in nine games. The Reds moved 17 games over .500, matching their season high and keeping the pressure on Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the NL Central race. It’s an important series for Arizona, which now trails Cincinnati by six games for the final NL wild card spot. The Diamondbacks have won five of their last seven games. Bronson Arroyo (12-9) won his third straight start, allowing three runs in six innings. Aaron Hill hit a solo homer, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. J.J. Hoover retired the side in the eighth, his 23rd straight scoreless appearance — the longest active streak in majors. Aroldis Chapman gave up a pair of singles in the ninth while getting his 31st save in 36 chances. It was the left-hander’s first appearance since he gave up a two-run homer to Jonathan Lucroy for a 7-6 loss in Milwaukee on Friday night. Ludwick got his long-awaited RBI during a three-run fourth inning against Randall Delgado (4-4), who had won his last three decisions. The left fielder tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding headfirst into third base on opening day.

Cincinnati Reds’ Jay Bruce hits an RBI single off Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Randall Delgado in the fourth inning during a baseball game on Monday in Cincinnati.

He returned a week ago and had a pair of singles in 14 at-bats on a road trip, showing a lot of rust from his long layoff while recovering from surgery. Manager Dusty Baker has dropped him from the cleanup spot to sixth in

the order while he gets his swing straightened out. The Reds could use a consistent right-handed run producer in their lefty-dominated lineup. Ludwick led the offense when Joey Votto missed most of the second half

of last season with a knee injury, leading the Reds to the NL Central title. The Diamondbacks were coming off a 16-inning, 4-2 win in Pittsburgh that left their bullpen worn down. They needed a solid start from Delgado, who came up short. Todd Frazier hit a solo homer. Brandon Phillips had a triple among his three hits off Delgado and scored a pair of runs. Zack Cozart drove in two with a sacrifice fly and a groundout, helping the Reds pull ahead 5-1 after five innings. The Diamondbacks loaded the bases in the sixth, and Martin Prado singled for a pair of runs that cut it to 5-3. Arroyo allowed seven hits but didn’t walk a batter for the third straight start. Notes: Diamondbacks C Miguel Montero, on the DL since Aug. 1 with a strained lower back, is scheduled to catch on Wednesday, take a day off, then catch Friday and Saturday. He’ll be evaluated then. … LH Matt Reynolds, on the DL since June 10 with a strained left elbow, is playing catch but hasn’t thrown off a mound. … Hill is 8-for-21 career against Arroyo with three homers. … Phillips is 8-for-16 during a four-game hitting streak. … The Diamondbacks will start LH Patrick Corbin, who hasn’t won on the road since June 2, in the second game of the series. LH Tony Cingrani makes his first career appearance against the Diamondbacks.

Knights fall in 2013 opener Cubs bash Nationals

BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Things started well enough for East Noble’s varsity volleyball team in Monday’s season-opener with Leo. The Knights came out on fire, topping the Lions 25-11 in Game 1. But East Noble would never lead after the opening set, as Leo came back to win the next three games to secure the win. The Lions won Game 2 by a 25-18 margin, scored a 25-14 win in Game 3, and wrapped things up with a 25-16 verdict in Game 4. “Our serving was the best in Game 1 and we minimized our errors,” explained East Noble coach Nicki Ramey. “We passed well and they really couldn’t set up any offense.” The Knights never trailed in the opening set. Jacey Cauhorn had two aces and Sydney Rodenbeck had another as East Noble jumped out 6-1 at the outset. East Noble would later put together a 7-0 run highlighted by another Rodenbeck ace and went on to record the 25-14 win. But Leo ruled from there. “We have a really young team and only two that had played on varsity,” said Leo coach Ashlee Robbins. “For us, after Game 1, we thought if we were going to lose, we were going to go down swinging. Never in a million years did I think we’d come back like we did.” Leo jumped to a nine-point

margin midway through Game 2 before winning 25-18. Game 3 was close early, with Leo up 7-6. But the Lions embarked on an 11-3 run and won 25-14. The Lions opened Game 4 with a 5-0 lead and ruled throughout in a 25-16 win. “There was a shift in the momentum, they took it in Game 2 and we could never regain it,” Ramey said.

Kourtney Edwards had nine kills and five blocks to lead the Knights. Maddie Cook contributed five kills and Kirsten Wolf had two blocks and two aces. Sydney Rodenbeck was 22-of-22 serving with 11 assists. Freshman Payton Hart had eight digs in her first varsity start for the Knights. East Noble returns to action tonight at West Noble.

CHICAGO (AP) — Nate Schierholtz homered twice and drove in a career-high six runs, powering Jeff Samardzija and the Chicago Cubs to an 11-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night. Schierholtz connected for a three-run shot in the first and a two-run drive in the seventh in his fourth career multihomer game. He also had an RBI double in the third in Chicago’s highest-scoring game since a 14-6 victory over Houston on June 23. Donnie Murphy added a pair of solo homers and Dioner Navarro had a three-run shot for the Cubs, who managed just 12 runs total in their previous eight home games. Junior Lake doubled twice and scored two runs. It was more than enough for Samardzija (7-11), who pitched a six-hitter for his second complete game of the season and No. 3 for his career. He struck out five and walked none in his first victory in a month. Wilson Ramos hit his eighth homer in the seventh, but that was it for Washington. Bryce Harper finished with two hits. Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann (14-7) allowed a season-high eight runs in five innings in his first loss since July 26 against the New York Mets.

This is the 2013 East Noble High School football team. Coach Luke Amstutz’s Knights begin the season on Friday at Northrop.

EN deep in all the right places BY JUSTIN PENLAND japenland@hotmail.com

KENDALLVILLE — As the saying goes, records are meant to be broken. However, what does a program do when a core group of players who helped create those new records graduates? The best teams reload while others make it a “rebuilding year.” Don’t expect East Noble to be the latter. In coach Luke Amstutz’s second year at the helm, the Knights have filled some of the vacancies following graduation with numbers. “The kids are really excited (about this season),” Amstutz said. “Offseason training has been pretty good. We had a couple injuries this summer that were kind of big, but we are getting through them.” Amstutz returns his quick-attack offense and 3-4 defense in 2013. However, each side of the ball will have a new twist to it. Offensively, the Knights will rely on a man they

nicknamed “Tebow” in Harold “Bryce” Wolfe. Wolfe saw action in eight of the team’s 10 games last season as a backup to Franklin College QB Nic Weimer. The 6-foot, 1-inch junior who dons No. 15 is a strong hybrid quarterback with more speed than his foregone counterpart. In 2012, Wolfe was third on the Knights in both rushing attempts (41) and yards (226). His five rushing touchdowns were second on the team. Through the air, Wolfe completed 53 percent (17-32) of his passes for 190 yards. The latter statistic is what gives the offense a new flavor, as Weimer — who broke the record for passing yards and touchdowns in a game — was more of a passer than a runner. This year’s backup, Mannie Ritchie, is a little more like Weimer than Wolfe, but still has speed. “(Wolfe and Ritchie) are both different from Nic. Having Manny and Bryce really adds some things to the

running game,” Amstutz said. Alongside Wolfe in the backfield is a three-headed running back tandem led by senior sprinter Brandon Mable. Mable’s 736 yards and nine touchdowns doubled that of second-best Kyle Mundon, even though he missed the Bellmont game. “(Mable’s) looking like Brandon,” Amstutz said. Walker Boyles, the workhorse of last season’s New Haven game, is going to add depth to the running back position, as well as senior Tyler Leazier. When Wolfe or Ritchie do air the ball out, the two will have a very reliable receiver in Grey Fox. Fox returns for his senior season after pulling down 75 balls for 1,117 yards and a team-best 13 touchdowns in 2012. In the hunt for the other receiver positions, including outside spots vacated by Eli Parks and Lake Clark, are Bret Sible and Matt Strowmatt. “Athletically, we are a little better (at receiver) this year. In terms of speed and

size, we upgraded a little bit,” Amstutz, said. Defensively, it’s hard to put up numbers like last year’s team in terms of turnovers. In total, the Knights forced 33 turnovers (18 fumbles, 15 interceptions) and took two back for touchdowns. Three of the top five tacklers from last season return, including the linebacker Boyles. Jake Peterson (41 tackles, three sacks and an interception in 2012) and Jacob Brown round out the returning linebackers in the 3-4 defense. A new face will be in the front seven with Mable bumping down to linebacker after a logjam in the defensive backfield. Last season, Mable led the team with four interceptions and also had a fumble recovery. “We have some newbies playing linebacker. But as they gain experience, we will be a team that will get better as the team wears on,” Amstutz said. The logjam in the defensive backfield is five

or six deep as all of last year’s players return with Landan Tackett (three fumble recoveries, 39 tackles and an interception in 2012) and Dylan Jordan (2 INTs) leading the way. There is youth in the trenches on the defensive line after the graduations of Tyler Prentice and Drake DeMuyt. Stepping in at defensive end will be junior Keaton Osborn (6-1, 235 pounds), who recorded 14 tackles last year, including four for a loss. Junior Sid Napier (6-1, 295) will be set inside this season. Jared Teders will handle the kicking duties. “We feel like we have some really good kids out. We have some strong, fast kids on the line. We might be a little better on defense than we were last year,” Amstutz said. Amstutz said there is no reason a championship is out of reach. But the Knights must first improve every day before thinking of goals only measured near the end of the season. East Noble hosts both

of its huge Northeast Hoosier Conference tilts with Homestead (Sept. 6) and Carroll (Sept. 20). One has to look back to 2006 to see a team not named East Noble or Homestead winning the championship. Carroll, meanwhile, has stormed back into contention after a stretch of sub-.500 seasons. The Chargers and Spartans have two more seasons in the NHC before they depart. “I went to Carroll and grew up with Homestead, Carroll and East Noble as three of the most prominent schools in NHC football. It has been a big part of my life,” Amstutz said. East Noble opens the season Friday in Fort Wayne against Northrop. The Knights’ first home game is the following week against Class 6A opponent Warsaw. “Our goal is to get better after each practice and each game. Hopefully the (play) in October and November will take hold… If we take care of (our work) every day, (late-season play) will take care of itself,” Amstutz said.

Tough, talented core leads Fremont BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — Fremont’s football team brings back a majority of its starters after winning four games last season. But managing to build depth and avoid injury within another roster low on numbers will be important if the Eagles are to build open the success of 2012. FHS (4-6, 3-5 Northeast Corner Conference, in 2012), which only has 35 players in the program, will fall back on big impact players and big hearts this season. The Eagles will be playing for assistant coach Mike Herndon, who suffered a stroke on June 13, then had an aneurysm not too long after. Fremont head coach Nick Maksimchuk said Herndon has come a long way in his recovery to the point where he is now rehabilitating at a Fort Wayne hospital, but still has a long way to go. Herndon has been an assistant coach with the Eagles since Maksimchuk took the head coaching job in 2008. “The older guys especially know Mike. He was big in starting our youth program,” Maksimchuk said. “We’re glad he’s doing good, and we’re praying

that he will continue to get better.” Fremont’s numbers in the program are in the middle 30s. It has a solid core, led by seniors Nate Beatty, Brad Owen and Brock Baker. But there are also plenty of inexperienced guys who will need to develop into contributing roles. “There’s a few kids we would still like to get out. But we are happy with who we have. We had no injuries in the scrimmage (Saturday with Bowman Academy at John Glenn),” Maksimchuk said. “We have a mix of experienced and inexperienced guys and we need to find a happy medium. We need to work on depth where our twos can step in at any moment and we can carry out the next man up philosophy.” Beatty is the go-to guy on offense, and will also play defensive back and do much of the kicking duties in his fourth year of varsity football. He aspires to play college football and really invested during the offseason by connecting with a training outlet in Fort Wayne to improve his skills. Beatty was a Class 1A All-State honorable mention at wide receiver and tight SEE EAGLES, PAGE B3

end last year after catching 31 passes for 545 yards and rushing for 760 yards on 159 carries. He had 19 total touchdowns, including 13 on the ground. He also made 53 tackles, broke up seven passes and intercepted three more passes on defense. Linebackers Owen and Baker are the heart of the Eagle defense. Owen had 83 tackles last year, including 42 solos and six for loss, with two fumble recoveries. Baker had 76 tackles, including 39 assists and five for loss, and two fumble recoveries. Owen and Baker will also line up in the backfield on offense. Owen has moved from the offensive line to fullback. Maksimchuk said Owen, Baker and junior defensive end Austin Maggart play bigger than

they are. “When they hit you, you’ll know it,” Maksimchuk said. “Brad is our strongest guy. He was our most dedicated player this summer. In the backfield, he will block real well for us.” Most of the linemen up front return on both sides of the ball with Maggart, seniors Logan Peel (50 tackles and five fumble recoveries in 2012) and Adam Dossett. and junior Cole Applegate back. Youngsters Austin Roebel and Brendan Kuhn will help give FHS depth up front. Senior left-hander Kaleb Hayes will replace the graduated Chandler McDowell as the starting quarterback. McDowell started the past two seasons and will try playing quarterback at NCAA Division III Franklin College.

“Kaleb had a great summer throwing the ball. He has shown more finesse,” Maksimchuk said. “When he played on the J.V. (junior varsity), he made great decisions. “He’s overcome some adversity. He hurt his shoulder playing defense last year. We’re happy with where he has come along.” Sophomores Andrew LaRose (four receptions, 96 yards and one touchdown in 2012) and Hunter Leskowyak (two catches, 50 yards and two TDs last year) will factor in the receiving corps for Fremont. Maksimchuk wants to utilize the speed of senior Zach Roebel in the backfield. Roebel was a state qualifier in the 200-meter run this past spring. Four of Fremont’s first five

games are at home in the Max Mitchell Memorial Sports Complex. The first three games will once again be an early gauntlet the Eagles need to run through against what has been the top three teams in the NECC over the past decade: home against defending champion Churubusco on Friday, at Lakeland next Friday and at home against Fairfield on Sept. 6. “We look at that first game as an opportunity,” Maksimchuk said. “We have to realize the physicality of the game. If we do that, we’ll have a great year.” Keep up with the Eagles on their team website fremonteaglesfootball.com and on Twitter at fremontfb. Their games will be televised live online on the 101 Lakes Network’s Ustream channel.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Von Miller might be suspended ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Von Miller lined up at his usual position Monday and flashed the freakish athletic moves that might soon be missing from the Denver Broncos’ ramshackle defense. The All-Pro linebacker brushed past reporters after another stellar practice, choosing not to stop and talk about the latest report that he could be facing an even longer suspension that originally thought. ESPN reported that Miller might have to sit out at least six games for violating the league’s drug abuse policy. Previously, it was believed Miller was facing a monthlong suspension to start the 2013 season. Miller had repeatedly expressed confidence he was going to successfully win an appeal of any pending penalty, insisting he had “done nothing wrong.” Now, Miller is unlikely to go forward with such an appeal, which was expected to be heard Tuesday, ESPN reported. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press, “We have nothing to report” on the matter, and Miller’s agent, Joby Branion, didn’t return a phone call from the AP. Without definitive word from the league that a suspension was forthcoming, the Broncos once again had Miller line up with the rest of the No. 1 defense at practice. “Well, there’s really no ‘latest,’” coach John Fox said afterward. “We are aware of reports and sometimes it’s erroneous because I think we’d probably find out before other people. … There is no suspension and at which time there is, we’ll report that. But anything else right now is really just talking heads.”

Stewart to miss rest of season BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart will miss the rest of the season because of broken right leg. He will be replaced in the Stewart-Haas No. 14 Chevrolet by Austin Dillon and Mark Martin. Stewart is expected to return in time for preseason testing in January 2014. Martin was granted his release Monday from Michael Waltrip Racing to join SHS. He will drive the No. 14 this weekend at Bristol and in 11 other races. Dillon will race Oct. 20 at Talladega. Dillon filled in for Stewart on Sunday at Michigan and finished 14th. Stewart broke his right leg in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway. “Obviously, I’m disappointed to be out,” Stewart said in a statement. “But the team is in very good hands with Mark Martin and Austin Dillon. Mark is someone I’ve looked up to my entire career and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. Austin is a great young talent, and he showed that Sunday at Michigan.” Greg Zipadelli, competition director at Stewart-Haas Racing, said Stewart needed to focus on his health and be ready to return next season. Brian Vickers will now drive the No. 55 Toyota for MWR in 12 of the final 13 races. He was originally scheduled to drive just three more times. Michael Waltrip will race the No. 55 at Talladega as previously scheduled.

Angels’ Pujols done for 2013 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Albert Pujols will miss the rest of the season to rest his injured left foot, the Los Angeles Angels announced Monday. The $240 million slugger has given up his hope to play again this season when the Angels’ medical staff and front office advised him to give several months of rest to his partially torn plantar fascia before spring training. While sitting out the past three weeks, Pujols repeatedly said he hoped to return for the final two weeks of the Angels’ dismal season if possible. He eventually had to acknowledge the plan made sense only as a salve to his pride. “It’s not an easy decision, as competitive as I am,” Pujols said at his locker before the Angels opened a series against Cleveland. “But I also understand that we (need) to look beyond the season.” Pujols hasn’t played since July 26, when he partially tore his troublesome plantar fascia in Oakland. Pujols had been rehabilitating the injury with hopes of playing in September, but the struggling Angels’ inability to get into playoff contention made that plan increasingly unwise. Pujols consulted with owner Arte Moreno and general manager Jerry Dipoto before agreeing to shut himself down for the year.

NCAA rules ex-Marine eligible MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — The NCAA has ruled that a Middle Tennessee football player who spent five years in the Marines will be allowed to compete this fall and that he will have four years of eligibility remaining. It’s a reversal from the NCAA’s earlier decision to rule Steven Rhodes was ineligible because he played in a recreational league during his military service. School officials had said earlier Monday that they were working with NCAA officials to come up with a solution. “This is exciting news for Steven and Middle Tennessee State University,” school President Sidney McPhee said in a statement. “We express our gratitude to the NCAA for reviewing this situation and granting Steven the ability to play this fall. We are hopeful that the NCAA will look at the bylaws regarding all individuals who serve in the military before becoming a student-athlete.”

Energy-saving project could save you money Indiana’s major utility companies are charging us money to save us money, we learned from a news item this week. However, they didn’t spend all the money, so they have to give some of it back. The money went to a new project known as Energizing Indiana. The need for a refund raises questions about the wisdom of the whole We’re not entirely idea. convinced that it But since Energizing makes sense to charge Indiana is consumers extra for a likely to program that achieves continue, local residents minuscule energy and savings. businesses should consider taking advantage of it. The news report focuses on Energizing Indiana’s results in 2012, its first year of operation. Six of the state’s largest electricity and natural gas companies take part in Energizing Indiana, including Indiana Michigan Power and Northern Indiana Public Service Co. Last year, they planned to spend $74 million on Energizing Indiana. However, they spent only $42 million, so they are required to make refunds of $32 million. The project reports saving 416 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. That sounds impressive until you realize that Indiana uses an estimated 30 billion kilowatt-hours per year. Doing the math, that computes to a savings of less than one-tenth of 1 percent. The results seem disappointing for a $42 million investment. But for Hoosier homeowners and businesses, Energizing Indiana could be worth a visit to its website, energizing indiana.com. Anyone who is a customer of the six utilities can qualify for a “residential home energy assessment.” An energy adviser will make a home visit to check the efficiency of heating and cooling equipment, insulation, light bulbs and plumbing fixtures. Lower-income households may qualify for free services from Energizing Indiana — such as free high-efficiency light bulbs, insulation for water pipes and low-flow shower heads. Energy auditors also will make free visits to schools for assessments and to install free, energy-saving devices. Each school can get vending-machine timers, light bulbs and devices that shut off lights in empty rooms. Businesses can qualify for rebates on improvements that save energy. Finally, the site helps consumers find stores that give discounts on efficient light bulbs‚ including retailers in Albion, Angola and Kendallville. We’re not entirely convinced that it makes sense to charge consumers extra for a program that achieves minuscule energy savings. But as long as Energizing Indiana exists, it would be wise for Hoosiers to make the most of its services. For your individual home or business, Energizing Indiana could make a significant payback.

Letters to The Editor • It is time to convene and consider the state of federal governance

Levin leads us to a little noticed gem. Article V of the United States Constitution: “The Congress … on the application of the Le gislatures To the editor: of two-thirds of the several The 20th and 21st centuries States shall call a convention have not been good for for proposing Amendments, Americans who long for the which … when ratified by founders’ vision of a limited Legislatures of three-fourths federal government with checks of the States” would amend and balances between its three the Constitution.

In “The Liberty James Madison’s handiwork Amendments” (Threshold would be scrapped for a new Edition, Simon and Schuster, constitution.

remain ahead of ours. Article V provides for a convention to amend only, not nullify, our legal foundation. Most of Levin’s text is a presentation of 10 amendments which he believes would act to limit government and provide for greater individual liberty. His proposals address our current legislative deadlock, bloated bureaucracy and economic stagnation. Several are not surprising: term limits for congressman and Supreme Court justices, a balanced budget amendment and an amendment that would prevent bureaucratic mission creep. And therein is the inspiration and potential promise offered by Mark Levin. His “liberty amendments” are overwhelmingly popular among Americans today. All make perfect sense but few believe they will ever live to see them happen. In this republic “of the people, by the people and for the people” how can it be that what the majority wants is assumed impossible? It is because we have grown cynical learning

that our politicians and bureaucrats will never work counter to their own convenience even as we, their constituents carry the burdens they impose. Levin believes our founders wrote Article V for a day such as this. They recognized that in the most extreme case, a ruthless, tyrannical government would never abdicate its power and in a lesser form, a soft tyranny exists when bureaucracies grown fat on public largess refuse to diet. In arguing that the individual states must initiate the cure through a Convention for Amendments, Levin is not naïve as to its likelihood nor, should it occur, that agreement will come easily among three-quarters of the states on any issue. Perhaps, Mr. Levin is the author who, one day, will be looked upon as the man who awakened Americans to the constitutional option that led to the revitalization of “this the last, best hope, of earth.” Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock Indianapolis

If jobs open, will young people take them? BY MARYANN O. KEATING, PH.D.

There is a sub-discipline in economics that studies labor supply, specifically whether or not individuals increase hours worked outside the home when higher wages are offered. Those studies should be of interest to policymakers concerned with the fiscal and social effects of changes in the American workforce. For years, the studies concerned themselves with the extent to which the labor supply curve bends backwards as, for instance, when high-wage doctors and lawyers reduce hours available for appointments. The consensus, at that time, was that low- and medium-wage workers had no choice but to supply the standard 40-hour work week regardless of compensation. Now, however, government officials, concerned with the flow of tax revenue, are worried not only that jobs do not exist but that Americans are choosing not to accept them. Consequently, payroll and income-tax revenue per person is falling. Aside from the issue of funding government, there is the potential loss of a generation — one only loosely attached to the labor force. So, assuming for a moment that employers are willing to hire, it is useful to analyze why positions are not being accepted. The most obvious explanation is that some individuals do not need wage income. A few are so affluent that they need not concern themselves with earning a living. But most of those not seeking or accepting work are not “trust fund babies.” Some of us, on the other hand, are fortunate enough to extend the length of time we stay in school or remain dependent on parent income. The extension of family healthcare benefits to those 26 years old contributes to postponing full-time participation.

Furthermore, it is not at all unusual for parents to indefinitely subsidize interest on student debt, car insurance and cellphones. Finally, some potential workers qualify for unemployment, disability, academic stipends and other government income assistance. Another factor explaining the declining labor force participation rate is the differential between what people believe they should earn and the wage offered. It is repeatedly impressed on students that once they attain a certain degree or certification they will earn median wages or more. We fail to mention that this is based on probabilities for expected income over 40 years by those who were willing to pull up roots and start over several times throughout their careers. A careful study of data provided in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) shows that family formation is critical in determining the probability that a U.S. resident, between the ages of 26 and 31, participates to some extent in the labor force. Those with biological children, living in or out of household, have higher work participation. This is definitely true for males, but the result is also positive and statistically significant for women, regardless of the number of children. There is some indication that married women (and those who are cohabiting) are less likely to work outside the home. Marriage and co-habitation, however, strongly increase the likelihood of male employment. What do people in their 20s do all day if they are not working or providing care? Unfortunately, the NLSY survey does not address this issue directly except to categorize those who are or are not currently enrolled in school. Data is offered, though, to show that increased television viewing by an individual is statistically associated with

• fewer hours allocated to earning wage income. What are the implications of declining work participation for those entrusted with policy making? There are those who argue that the issue will self-correct as young people mature and are drawn into the labor force as the economy recovers. Others suggest exploring alternatives such as sales or value-added taxes as substitutes for taxing wage income in order to maintain government services. Most agree that we should avoid all policies that discourage employers from hiring or inhibit real take-home wages from rising. With regards to social concerns, government policy with respect to fertility and household formation is a dangerous game fraught with hazard, here and abroad. Through the mid-1990s in the U.S., a significant marriage tax penalty in conjunction with the Aid to Dependent Children program created a lethal policy combination. There appears, however, to be a natural proclivity for human beings to form households and become responsible for the next generation — unless, that is, they have better options. MARYANN O.

Thin-skinned groom berates guest’s RSVP DEAR ABBY: I recently declined a wedding invitation because my spouse and I will be out of town on the date of the wedding. A few days after I sent the RSVP, I got an email from the groom saying he had “suspicions” that I wasn’t attending because I was bitter about not being in the wedding party. I was shocked by the email. Not only do I not care about who is in the wedding party, I don’t think we’re such close friends that we should have been invited in the first place. I think it’s appalling that he would accuse someone who declined an invitation of having ulterior motives for not going. I emailed him back, explaining that we will be out of town and how upset and disappointed I am that he would think something like that. Wasn’t what he did a breach of etiquette? — APPALLED IN NEW YORK

DEAR APPALLED: Yes, it was. Your inability to attend the wedding appears to have brought to the surface the groom’s insecurity about his social relationships. I don’t blame you for being appalled. The man’s DEAR behavior was ABBY inappropriate. DEAR ABBY: My sister is 63, divorced, educated, intelligent, self-employed and receives monthly support from her ex-husband. The problem is she takes no responsibility for her health. She’s extremely overweight because she overeats and doesn’t exercise.

She complains every day that she feels “terrible.” (I call it self-pitying whining.) Our other siblings think it is too late to confront her about it. I want to address the issue now, before she gains even more, or has a stroke or heart attack and, quite frankly, won’t be able to care for herself. — SIBLING STANDING BY DEAR SIBLING: The problem with “confronting” someone is that it usually makes the person being confronted defensive.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I take an SSRI for depression. I’m trying to get pregnant, but I’m worried about going off my antidepressant during pregnancy. Can I continue to take an SSRI? DEAR READER: You can, but at some small risk to the baby. But if you stop taking the SSRI while you are pregnant, you may increase your own risk of worsening depression during and after the pregnancy. So I don’t have an easy answer. Treating depression is important for both your sake and your baby’s. Untreated depression during pregnancy increases your risk of postpartum depression. It also makes it more likely that your baby will be lethargic, irritable and underweight at birth. Medication is one option. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most common drugs prescribed for depression. SSRIs include

of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend medication for expectant mothers with severe depression. But for pregnant women with mild to moderate depression, they recommend psychotherapy. That’s probably the most important point. If in the years before pregnancy your depression has been severe, you will probably need medication along with talk therapy during the pregnancy. By “severe,” I mean you have had many episodes of depression, or episodes that are quite severe. Particularly if you have had severe depression in the past, and your past reaction to medications has been positive, the risk to you and your baby from not taking medication is probably greater than the risk of taking medication.

Defense secretary says he will visit China next year WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Monday that he will visit China next year to capitalize on an improving trend in U.S.-China relations, even as Beijing casts a wary eye on the Pentagon’s strategic “pivot” to Asia and the Pacific. During a break in meetings at the Pentagon, Hagel and his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Chang Wanquan, told reporters they see room for greater U.S.-China military cooperation, including joint exercises and high-level visits. Chang

affirmed that China’s navy next year will participate for the first time in a major international maritime exercise known as Rim of the Pacific. Hagel said he accepted Chang’s invitation to visit Beijing in 2014. The last U.S. defense secretary to visit China was Leon Panetta in September 2012. Chang and Hagel both spoke hopefully of building greater trust between the two nations’ militaries and chipping away at long-held suspicions. But Chang

in particular cautioned against mistaking his country’s friendliness for weakness. “No one should fantasize that China would barter away our core interests, and no one should underestimate our will and determination in defending our territory, sovereignty and maritime rights,” Chang said through an interpreter. He appeared to be referring to China’s disputes with Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and other Asian nations over territorial boundaries in the South China Sea. Hagel alluded to these

tensions, saying in a prepared statement that while the U.S. does not take sides in territorial claims, it encourages all parties to avoid allowing tensions to escalate into armed conflict. Chang seemed to suggest that the U.S. not intervene in the territorial disputes. “The Asia-Pacific is our common homeland,” Chang said. “Any action that leads to trouble or provocation, any unwanted action out of self-interest or (that) further complicates or magnifies the situation would be highly irresponsible and will not

lead to a favorable result.” The Obama administration for more than a year has promised a strategic pivot to the Asia-Pacific region following more than a decade of intense focus on the greater Middle East. Chang said China hopes this shift, which Washington now calls a “rebalance,” will be done constructively and as part of a comprehensive approach that includes greater U.S. economic and social interaction in the region. Already, however, it appears that Washington is focusing primarily on increased military activity,

he said. He said “certain Asia Pacific nations” have noticed that the military component of an adjusted U.S. strategy in the region is being “highlighted.” He appeared to be alluding in part to new U.S. Marine rotational deployments to Australia. “We also noticed that the frequency and intensity of such joint military exercises are increasing in recent time,” he said. “To a certain degree this kind of intensified military activity further complicated the situation in the region.” He did not elaborate.
