Unemployment rates getting better 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 SEE UNEMPLOYMENT, PAGE A6

Exleader could walk Court ruling raises possibility of release for Hosni Mubarak

Thomas said. “When you feel confident and secure with who you are and strong mentally, then you’re prepared in all other areas.” But she is not ignoring the physical side of the competition. “I’ve been working out. I’ve been running a lot and continuing to eat right,” she said. However, she has indulged in a little of her favorite ice cream and one of the cookies at Monday’s reception. “I would not be a happy person if I could not take a bite of that cookie tonight,” she said.

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.

Miss Indiana’s back home Miss America contestant gets local sendoff BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — Her hometown and high school gave Miss Indiana Terrin Thomas of Auburn a sendoff Monday night, as she heads toward the Miss America pageant. Friends, relatives, former teachers and classmates greeted Thomas at a reception in the lobby of DeKalb High School, where she graduated in 2011. The school’s show choir came to sing “Back Home Again in Indiana” to Thomas, who was a member of the choir only two years ago. Thomas will compete for the title of Miss America during the week of Sept. 10-15 in Atlantic City, N.J. Twenty family members will travel to Atlantic

City to support Thomas from the audience. Thomas has learned her schedule for the week. She will begin with an interview by judges Tuesday morning, Sept. 10, and compete in swimwear and evening gown that night. “My gown is top-secret,” she said. Wednesday night, Sept. 11, she will compete in the talent category, singing the same song she chose for the Miss Indiana pageant, “I’m Afraid This Must Be Love.” “That big-band jazz song — it’s really classy” and fits well with Atlantic City, Thomas said. In the final preliminary round, Thomas will answer a question on stage Thursday night, Sept. 12. The finals of the pageant will be broadcast live on the ABC television network Sunday, Sept. 15, at 9 p.m. Thomas, 21, has been working toward the competition since she won the title of Miss Indiana on June 22 in Zionsville. “I really believe in the mental aspect of preparing yourself,”

“When you feel confident and secure with who you are and strong mentally, then you’re prepared in all other areas.” Terrin Thomas Miss Indiana

Commissioners plan discussion of C.R. 75 bridge BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — DeKalb County leaders want to discuss the proposed removal of a badly aged, historic iron truss bridge over the CSX railroad tracks on C.R. 75 with the residents it will impact most. The county commissioners on Monday scheduled a public meeting for 11 a.m. Aug. 26 during their regular meeting to hear concerns from residents on the removal of the bridge. They will also make clear that, regardless, the bridge is going to be removed due to its poor condition and potential for disaster. Last week, commissioners learned that CSX Railroad has offered to pay for removing the bridge, which consultants have

said is badly corroded and in danger of collapsing onto the tracks below. The bridge officially has a 5-ton weight limit, but can withstand no more than a pickup truck, a consultant reported. The CSX proposal lays out plans for the railroad to handle dismantling the bridge and to reimburse the county for creating cul-de-sacs in the road on either side of the span. The project would cost upward of $300,000, according to the consultants. The bridge would be stored on county property and potentially placed on a trail system just south of St. Joe when federal funding comes through, the plan says. But the project has drawn the ire of several residents on the county’s eastern edge, who must travel some six miles to find a

suitable bridge to cross the tracks. Residents want a bridge built in the current span’s place, the commissioners have heard. In the proposed agreement with the railroad, which the county still is considering, the railroad requires the crossing to be permanently closed. The county will present a new contract to the railroad for consideration with language that would allow the county to construct a new bridge at a later time. Commissioner Don Grogg said the county’s plan calls for building a new bridge when local funds are available. It is not expected that federal funds ever will be available to fund a new bridge, county highway director Eric Patton told the commissioners.

In the meantime, the commissioners will go through the process of advertising for funding a $72,000 design plan for the bridge removal, ahead of presenting another request to the County Council for funding it. The council previously voted down a request from the commissioners to pay for the plan, before the railroad offered to pay for the project. The railroad’s proposed agreement calls for a contract to be adopted before the end of the year. Also Monday, the commissioners granted a request from Prosecutor ClaraMary Winebrenner to hire a temporary, part-time worker in her department’s child support division to assist in implementation of a new software platform.

State police add 10 to dive team INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Police department has appointed 10 troopers to its Underwater Search Rescue/Recovery Team. The scuba team members recently completed their six-month probationary period as divers and received their uniform pins from Superintendent Douglas Carter, designating them as USRT members. Included in the group was Trooper Matthew Lazoff of Hudson, who patrols in Steuben County as part of the Fort Wayne district. The state police training program started in 1960 with 14 men who were sent to a six-day scuba school. The program has 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 said the new divers are well equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to safely navigate the often-dangerous waters of public safety diving — often diving in less-thanideal Lazoff conditions, including zero visibility and entanglement hazards, Lowrance said. The state police has 35 divers on the USRT stationed around Indiana to respond to water-related incidents including evidence recovery, drowning and swift-water rescue.

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.

MISS INDIANA: Will bring IU theme to parade FROM PAGE A1

In the remaining days before the pageant, Thomas will ride in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival Parade of Classics through downtown Auburn on Aug. 31. She will depart for Atlantic City Sept. 3. A full week of activities for contestants precedes the start of competition Sept. 10. The night before the finals, contestants will join in the Show Us Your Shoes parade on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City, featuring 165 floats. Organizers are encouraging the Miss America contestants to wear elaborate costumes. “I chose to have an IU-theme outfit. I’m really

excited,” Thomas said. A junior at Indiana University, she will wear sequined, red-and-white, candy-striped pants in the same design as the warmup pants of the IU men’s basketball team. “Being able to bring a piece of the university to Miss America will be fun,” she said. Supporters can help Thomas’ quest by voting for her to a become a semifinalist in the competition at missamerica.org/videocontes t or facebook.com/missameri caorganization. The links connect to Thomas’ contest video, which shows her driving an antique Auburn automobile in a period costume

and arriving in front of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum in Auburn. The brief video features Thomas in several scenes inside the museum, where she describes herself as “the classic choice” for Miss America, drawing on Auburn’s nickname as “The Classic City.” Jessica Butler of Auburn produced the video and loaned Thomas the use of her family’s classic Auburn automobile. Instead of a static presentation, “I really wanted my video to be more of a mini-movie and show more of me,” Thomas said. “And I got to wear a vintage dress!”

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

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.

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-to-dawn 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. “His release or detention will be a decision that weighs political and security conditions in the country,” said Nasrallah. Freeing Mubarak during one of the worst bouts of turmoil since his ouster would be a huge risk for the military-backed government. It could lend credibility to allegations that the mass protests that preceded the July 3 coup that toppled Egypt’s first democratically elected leader were the work of Mubarak-era figures searching for a way to reinstate the former regime.

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.

UNEMPLOYMENT: State’s jobs gain totaled 5,900 FROM PAGE A1

dynamics, the unemployment rate for the 10-county region is 8.4 (percent), up slightly over last 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, Transpor-

tation 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

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.

JAMES FISHER

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

EAGLES: New starting QB Kaleb Hayes surrounded by many reliable weapons FROM PAGE B2

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.

Who among us of federal governance. believes that Washington can fix Many within his audience Washington? will recoil at the very idea Author Mark Levin does, of a convention for fear that sort of. In “The Liberty James Madison’s handiwork Amendments” (Threshold would be scrapped for a new Edition, Simon and Schuster, constitution. More to the point 2013), the ever-passionate they fear what might emerge constitutional lawyer documents would be an exercise in liberal, the genius of our founding legal modernity so enabling of fathers by exposing the centralized planning. mechanism constructed in 1787 But to this crowd, Levin to extricate us from a governwould suggest: Understand our ment grown too large and founders were geniuses not costing too much. It is brilliant just because they were ahead in its simplicity but, as Levin of their time but because they admits, remains untried.

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.

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.
