WATERLOO — The DeKalb Central school board Tuesday unanimously approved a new contract for superintendent Sherry Grate that includes a 2 percent increase for this year.
Terms of the contact include a base annual salary of $118,267. The contract term is July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014, with a work year of 240 days with 14 vacation
days and 12 sick leave days. Sick leave days accumulate up to a maximum of 120 total days. Sick days beyond the maximum will be compensated at $150 per day and will be paid to a 401(a) account.
Grate will receive the same paid holidays as other full-year administrators.
The contract also includes an annual benefi t allocation of $29,700, including a $1,000 increase, which may be allocated
toward health insurance, dental insurance, annuity and transporta-tion expenses.
The school district will pay the full cost, except for $1 per year, for a term life insurance policy with a face value of twice the amount of the annual contracted salary.
The school district also will pay Grate’s statutorily required retire-ment fund contribution, which is currently 3 percent of her base salary.
Grate will receive a one-time performance stipend of $3,000.
No one from the public commented on Grate’s proposed contract.
A new contract will be signed seven days from the board’s approval, and a ratifi cation of the approved contract will be presented at the September board meeting.
Earlier this month, the board approved a 2 percent base pay increase for district administra-tors but did not offer an extended contract to DeKalb High School Associate Principal Mike Cochran.

AUBURN — The city is on board with an effort to change the addresses of select homes on C.R. 40-A to Wesley Road addresses, the Auburn Common Council learned Tuesday evening.
City zoning administrator Ken Dunn told the council that the city’s Plan Commission has worked with the county plan commission on a collective push to readdress the homes west of C.R. 35 on the city’s east end. The issue was raised by county planner Clint Knauer earlier this month at a county commissioners meeting.
Knauer explained then that
sections of the road change from Wesley Road to C.R. 40-A and back again several times, and addresses have both odd and even numbers on the same side of the road. The mix up resulted from annexations to the city, he said.
The commissioners tabled the request under the assumption that at some point in the future, the remaining county land would be annexed into the city, and readdressing would be handled then.
Tuesday, Dunn said that in a joint city-county effort, the road would be readdressed with Wesley Road addresses without annexation. Letters will be sent
to homeowners notifying them of the planned change, Dunn said. County commissioners fi rst must approve the plan, however.
In other business Tuesday, the city council unanimously passed an ordinance that rezones certain areas around the city from an R-1 single-family rural designation to R-2 single-family residential to better fi t with city zoning codes.
An R-2 zone does not allow a home business or agriculture operations, as R-1 zoning permits.
All the areas eyed for rezoning are newer subdivisions around the city. Bill Spohn, the city’s building, planning and develop-

An immature Merlin tests its wings in a conifer tree in Pokagon State Park. The bird is a raptor that apparently was born in Pokagon. It is believed that this is the fi rst time Merlins have nested in Indiana.
BY MIKE [email protected]
LAKE JAMES — It could be that 2013 will go down in history as the year of the raptor at Pokagon State Park.
Just months after it was discov-ered that bald eagles were nesting in the park, quite possibly for the fi rst time in more than 100 years in Steuben County, another raptor, one that’s even more rare, has been spotted at Pokagon.
This time the bird is a Merlin, a pair of which apparently has nested in Pokagon. A Merlin is a small falcon found primarily in northern forests and prairies, the Cornell University Lab of
Ornithology’s website says. Its breeding range is primarily in Canada, but it is known to pass through Steuben County as it migrates south for the winter, said Fred Wooley, Pokagon’s interpre-tive naturalist.
“To have these birds here at this time of year is signifi cant, as there are no known nesting records of Merlin in Indiana,” Wooley said.
The birds were discovered by Montgomery, Mich., nature photographer Fred Zilch on Aug. 12. At fi rst, the avid birder thought he saw an American kestrel, but something didn’t seem right.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration, undertaking a major review of U.S. relations with Egypt, edged closer to a decision Tuesday about curtailing some of America’s $1.5 billion in annual aid after the Egyptian military’s crackdown on supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
Top administration offi cials met at the White House to review the possibility of cutting military or economic aid to Egypt, a longtime U.S. ally and the most populous nation in the Arab world. Some cuts are forthcoming, according to U.S. offi cials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to talk publicly about the sensitive discus-sions.
Tensions in Egypt have soared since the army ousted Morsi, who was the nation’s fi rst freely elected president. The July 3 coup followed days of protests by millions of Egyptians demanding that Morsi, who hails from the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, step down. Some 1,000 people have been killed in ensuing violence.
The U.S. is in a bind. While it wants to continue aiding Egypt to maintain ties with the military-run government and assert its infl uence

Troopers give probe of church bus crash to Indianapolis police
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana State Police have turned over their fi ndings from an investigation into the case of a fatal Indianapolis church bus crash to Indianap-olis Metro Police, who could release its fi nal report later this week, a report Tuesday said.
Indiana State Police turned over the results of their inspection of the bus owned by Colonial Hills Baptist Church and its braking systems to the local police for inclusion in a completed crash and inspection report expected to be released later this week, WTHR-TV reported Tuesday.
The bus crashed July 27 while bringing dozens of teenagers and chaperones home from a youth camping trip in Michigan. The crash killed youth minister Chad Phelps, his pregnant wife Courtney and Tonya Weindorf, the mother of a camper. The crash also injured 33 other passengers.
Driver Dennis Maurer has told polis the brakes failed as the bus was exiting Interstate 465 on Indianapolis’ north side and hit a concrete median just over a mile from the church.
EPA studies vapors at Muncie site
MUNCIE (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency will investigate whether chemical vapors are migrating from a Muncie Superfund site into as many as 50 nearby homes.
EPA’s Superfund on-scene coordinator Shelly Lam tells The Star Press the year-long study is part of a $700,000 cleanup at the former Kiser Plating factory. It’s located about a block from a YMCA, a fast-food restaurant and a health clinic.
The EPA has scheduled a public meeting to answer questions about the cleanup and the vapor study Wednesday evening at a library.
Lam says volatile vapors can migrate with ground water and can enter homes through porous or cracked foundations.
Kiser Corp. operated plating operations at the site from 1911 to 1999. A fi re destroyed most buildings there in 2001.
Fort Wayne sees biggest gas jumps
FORT WAYNE — The city of Fort Wayne leads the nation for the highest single-day average price hike for a gallon of gas this year, our news partner,
NewsChannel 15, reports.Using an average of the
three biggest single-day price hikes, GasBuddy found that Fort Wayne’s was 34 cents, followed by Indianapolis at 32 cents and Dayton at 31 cents.
“While major markets like LA, NY and Chicago get much of the attention and criticism, they’re not even in the top 20 among cities that see the steepest price hikes,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.
Offi cials seekingcause for big fi re
FORT WAYNE (AP) — Fire offi cials in Fort Wayne are turning their attention to fi nding what caused a massive blaze that destroyed at least six buildings in an old industrial complex.
Firefi ghters worked through the night to extinguish hot spots after needing more than six hours before they were able to put the fi re largely out Monday night.
Our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports about 96 fi refi ghters worked on the fi re. The Fort Wayne Fire Department has 340 fi refi ghters, which means about 30 percent of the entire department was on scene.

BUTLER — A study could lead to a solution for a lingering odor issue that has plagued Butler residents and business owners for several years.
Monday, the Board of Works and Public Safety approved a $225,141 study with Donahue & Associates that could connect a force main from Steel Dynamics to Butler’s wastewater treatment plant.
The fi nal price tag for the force main extension could be $800,000 or more,
according to a consultant.Currently, the force
main from the steel corridor southwest of Butler connects into the city’s sewer system at Depot Street and South Broadway. There has been a long-term issue of signifi cant sewer odor with downtown merchants and residents.
Industries in the steel corridor discharge approx-imately 400,000 gallons of sewage to Butler each day, said consultant Dave Wagner of Millen-nium Environmental. He estimated a cost of $800,000
to connect the force main directly into Butler’s treatment plant.
Depending upon Donahue’s study and cost estimates, it could be 12-18 months to complete any project, he added.
If Butler offi cials proceed, the work would include about a mile of new sewers, explained city superintendent Ted Miller.
Connecting the SDI force main directly to Butler’s treatment plant could give the city additional capacity within its existing sewer system, particularly as the
city tries to comply with combined sewer overfl ow (CSO) regulations.
“We’re trying to gain additional capacity,” Miller explained. “We feel it’s a better move instead of laying a bunch of pipes all over, to take the force main out to the treatment plant directly and see if that alleviates some of the CSO problems.”
While no plan has been discussed, one possible path for the extended SDI force main could be along Railroad Street to Beech and Green streets, then east to the treatment plant.
Butler may have fi x for sewer odor
INDIANAPOLIS — Effective Sunday, there is a new detective fi ghting crime in DeKalb County.
Indiana State Police Trooper Clint Hetrick has been promoted to detective and has assumed investi-gative duties in Allen and DeKalb counties. He replaces Mark Heffelfi nger, who recently was promoted to sergeant and moved to the ISP’s crime scene investigation unit.
Hetrick is a 2006 graduate of Trine University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He was appointed a state trooper on July 8, 2007.
Since 2010, Hetrick has been assigned to the Fort Wayne Post, patroling in Allen County. In 2011, he was recognized as one of the top fi ve troopers for operating-while-intoxicated enforcement.
He and his wife have one child and reside in Allen
County.Also promoted Sunday
was ISP Sgt. Corey Culler, who is now a fi rst sergeant and assistant commander for the ISP’s Special Operations Command SWAT team. As assistant commander, he will be the direct supervisor
for the north, central and south team leaders, overseeing day-to-day operations and training.
Culler is a 1988 graduate of
East Noble High School. In 1994 he received his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. He became a state trooper on June 4, 1995.
Culler has been a member of the ISP SWAT team since 1996. He was promoted to the leader of the north team in October 2007.

BUTLER — The DeKalb Eastern school board on Monday approved a new collective bargaining agreement for all teacher contracts.
New, two-year contracts now will include, among other changes, a salary schedule based on an effectiveness scale rather than education and experi-ence. Teachers will be rated on a scale from highly effective to ineffective under the new agreement, and can earn pay increases based on their ranking.
Teachers evaluated as highly effective or effective will be eligible for raises to their base salary awarded in increments of $500; teachers deemed ineffective or needing improvement will be placed on a 90-day plan and, if it is not completed, their contracts will not be renewed.
Previously, teachers were paid based on holding bachelor’s degrees or master’s degrees and their years of experience.
The new agreement also includes changes in the pay scales for athletic coaches and nonathletic extracur-ricular positions. Coaches will be paid according to the position (head coach, assistant coach and associ-ates) and extracurricular positions will be paid according to the level of the sponsorship of the activity.

Monday, the board set a state-mandated public hearing for Sept. 16 on its 2014 operating budget.
The district is considering a total budget of $19.75 million, which district treasurer Phil Carpenter told the board is roughly 5 percent less than the district’s approved budget from a year ago. The district estimates $9.3 million will be raised from appeals and levies, the budget reads.
The budget includes plans to replace two buses.
The board also:• approved a lease
agreement with Dell for 320 laptop computers and carts for $340,450, to be paid over a three-year period at 4.79 percent interest. The laptops will be used in grades 7-9 and will replace iPads, which will be issued to elementary students.
• accepted the resigna-tions of Eastside band director Jim Graham and Eastside staff members Jason Richards and Barb Bubp.
• accepted donations of a $750 scholarship, a welder valued at $5,550, paint for a vehicle and a motor home the district plans to sell. All go to benefi t the IMPACT Institute.
• learned the Maple Street improvement project is nearly fi nished and is only awaiting asphalt, which is expected in the next few days.
• approved holding the next board meeting Oct. 14 rather than Oct. 21.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — Leaders of another large Indiana school district have called for replacing the state’s A-F grading system for schools.
The South Bend school board voted unanimously Monday in favor of a resolution protesting how the grades are calculated. The vote comes after The Associated Press published emails showing former state schools superintendent Tony Bennett oversaw changes to the grading formula last year to ensure a Republican campaign donor’s charter school received an A grade.
South Bend schools superintendent Carole Schmidt said the 19,000-student district can’t opt out of the grading system but can draw attention to its fl aws of not considering factors such as poverty, special needs or English profi ciency, the South Bend Tribune and WNDU-TV reported.
“It doesn’t involve multiple measures over time which is something we want to see, some type of triangu-lated data about how schools are doing,” Schmidt said.
The Fort Wayne school board approved a similar resolution last week. Indianapolis Public Schools leaders are seeking informa-tion about the grading system’s impact on the 2011 state takeover of four schools.
Bennett has denied any wrongdoing, but he resigned Aug. 1 as Florida’s education commissioner, a post to which he was appointed after losing his re-election bid in Indiana last year.
Current state schools superintendent Glenda Ritz, a Democrat, is having an independent review done of the grading system and Republican state legisla-tive leaders have started their own investigation. Republican Gov. Mike Pence said last week he was standing by the state’s school-grading system and would not consider calls to suspend the grades for a year.
South Bend board members said their aim isn’t to avoid accountability on school performance but to have a system that better portrays reality.
“There’s an obvious lack of clarity in how these A to F grades were assigned,” said Jay Caponigro, the board’s vice president.
Schmidt said the resolu-tion sends a message from local schools to state offi cials.
“What we can do, is take a stand,” she said. “We won’t be labeling our schools.”
School grade system blasted South Bend district protests state’s program
DETROIT (AP) — He was the master of his genre, the Dickens of Detroit, the Chaucer of Crime.
Pretty much every novel Elmore Leonard wrote from the mid-1980s on was a best-seller, and every fan of crime stories knew his name. George Clooney was an admirer. So were Quentin Tarantino, Saul Bellow and Stephen King and millions of ordinary readers.
Leonard, who died Tuesday at age 87, helped achieve for crime writing what King did for horror and Ray Bradbury for science fi ction. He made it hip, and he made it respectable.
When the public fl ocked to watch John Travolta in the movie version of “Get Shorty” in 1995, its author became the darling of Hollywood’s hottest young directors. Book critics and literary stars, prone to
dismissing crime novels as light entertainment, competed for adjectives to praise him. Last fall, he became the fi rst crime writer to receive an honorary National Book Award, a prize given in the past to Philip Roth, Norman Mailer and Arthur Miller.
Few writers so memorably traveled the low road. His more than 40 novels were peopled by pathetic schemers, clever conmen and casual killers. Each was characterized by moral ambivalence about crime, black humor and wickedly acute depictions of human nature: the greedy dreams of Armand Degas in “Killshot,” the wisecracking cool of Chili Palmer in “Get Shorty,” Jack Belmont’s lust for notoriety in “The Hot Kid.”
Leonard’s novels and short stories were turned into dozens of feature fi lms, TV movies and series, including the current FX show “Justifi ed,” which stars Timothy Olyphant as one of Leonard’s signature charac-ters, the cool-under-pressure U.S. marshal Raylan Givens.
Critics loved Leonard’s fl awlessly unadorned, colloquial style, as well as how real his characters sounded when they spoke.
“People always say, ‘Where do you get (your characters’) words?’ And I say, ‘Can’t you remember people talking or think up people talking in your head?’ That’s all it is. I don’t know why that seems such a wonder to people,” he told The Associated Press last year.

for just such an opportunity I clicked away. Through the view fi nder I saw what wasn’t a kestrel at all but a Merlin. A Merlin in Indiana in August; not likely. These are birds of the north,” he said. “Upon returning home I examined the photos on the computer to fi nd that the bird was indeed a Merlin.”
Zilch photographed the Merlin, formally called pigeon hawk, in some conifers near the comfort station at the Pokagon State Park south beach parking lot. He returned and photographed two on Friday, documenting the presence of at least one juvenile bird.
“Today (Monday), Fred and Martha Zilch returned and observed two Merlins and showed them to about 25 people, birders and non-birders alike. A cross-country running team from Manchester College lined up behind the spotting scope and oooed and ahhed at the birds high atop a Norway spruce,” Wooley said.
“This was a great fi nd! I was privileged to be part of it,” Zilch said.
As is often the case with a rare bird sighting, the Merlins are attracting attention from birders.
Later Monday morning, John and Kathy Kendall, from western Indiana, arrived and spent the better part of the afternoon observing and photographing the birds.
“John is active in Indiana
Audubon, serving as editor of their quarterly journal. I was able to join them for some time and we feel confi dent of seeing three birds, including one adult (likely female) and two juveniles. One juvenile was brought and consumed a tufted titmouse,” Wooley said.
Birds are the typical diet of Merlins, Cornell’s website says.
The bird is about 10- to 12-inches tall with a wingspan between approxi-mately 21 and 27 inches. It weighs about a half pound.
The Merlin does not build a nest; it takes over old nests of other raptors or crows, Cornell says.
Unlike bald eagles, which a few decades ago had faced extinction in the United States, the Merlin is plentiful and there’s no concern of its existence being threatened. What makes it rare locally is that it typically nests hundreds of miles from Steuben County. According to Cornell, nesting of the Merlin is mainly in Canada, with some nesting in extreme northern reaches of Minnesota and states west to the Pacifi c Ocean.
Cornell’s website says the bird’s range is expanding, and John Castrale, an Indiana Department of Natural Resources bird of prey expert, told Wooley that while the news was exciting, it was expected the bird eventually would end up in Indiana as its nesting range expands south.

Tuesday, the board accepted Cochran’s resignation.
Also Tuesday night, the board approved a teacher exchange for McKenney-Harrison Elementary School counselor Barbara Beck.
Beck will travel to China Oct. 14-24 to visit DeKalb Middle School’s sister school. She originally had been scheduled to visit in May but due to unforeseen
circum-stances was unable to travel.
Beck will receive up to 10 days of professional leave for the exchange. She will
spend about three weeks teaching American language and culture to Chinese students. The board also
approved a stipend of up to $2,000 from school improvement funds for Beck’s professional travel expenses.

Great! Thank you!
CAIRO (AP) — The Muslim Brotherhood’s top leader looked somber and fatigued after his arrest Tuesday, his demeanor mirroring the Islamist movement’s predicament following its stunning fall from power and a deadly government crackdown.
The Brotherhood’s decision to play hardball after the military’s ouster of Egypt’s Islamist president has backfi red, leaving it embroiled in a crisis and looking at unattractive choices: Aligning with hard-line groups in an insurgency that almost certainly will fail or going underground in the hope of resurfacing one day.
Regardless of which path it chooses, the Brotherhood’s grim future will impact Islamic groups across the Middle East and beyond. The Egyptian organization is something of a “mother ship” that has inspired their creation and provided a role model of the political Islam they want
to prevail.“It looks like it’s over
for the Brotherhood,” said Sameh Eid, a former member who has maintained contact with the group. “Brotherhood families are grieving over their dead or busy trying to see how they can visit loved ones in detention or others who are injured. The animosity on the streets is exhausting them and allies are abandoning them.”
Founded in 1928, the group has spent most of its 85-year existence on the sidelines, outlawed, harshly treated and demonized by successive regimes. The June 2012 election of one of its longtime leaders, Mohammed Morsi, in Egypt’s fi rst free presiden-tial vote was the pinnacle of its newfound power. With its own man in the land’s highest offi ce and its members dominating the legislature, the Brotherhood looked invincible.
It did not last long,
however. The military toppled Morsi in a July 3 coup after barely a year in offi ce, dealing the Brother-hood a devastating blow.
Shortly before his ouster, Morsi’s supporters set up two sit-in camps at strategic squares on opposite ends of Cairo. The camps soon became a springboard for daily demonstrations that crippled much of the city. Protesters, some of them armed, congregated outside ministries, security buildings and military installations.
After security forces cleared the two camps last week, leaving hundreds dead, enraged Brother-hood supporters attacked police stations and govern-ment buildings, as well as churches, homes and businesses of minority Christians nationwide. It was an attempt to spread chaos and force the police to vanish as they did in the face of the mass protests of the 2011 uprising against autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt’s Brotherhood as beleaguered as its leader
in the region, the Obama administration and lawmakers do not want to appear to be condoning the bloody crackdown. To express its displeasure, the U.S. suspended the delivery of four F-16 fi ghter jets to Egypt and canceled biennial U.S.-Egyp-tian military exercises planned for next month.
In canceling the military exercises, President Barack Obama said that America’s traditional cooperation with Egypt “cannot continue as usual” while violence and instability deepen.
The administration now is deciding what it wants U.S. engagement in Egypt to look like and what, if any, aid, should be cut. Congress, meanwhile, appears split on whether to suspend the aid, with some saying that would deprive Washington of leverage over those in power in Cairo.
So far, Obama has opted against any swift reaction, insisting it would not serve U.S. national interests to suddenly eliminate funding for operations that cover everything from fi ghting al-Qaida in the heart of the Middle East and safeguarding the stability of the Suez Canal to
halting weapons fl ow to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and ensuring Israel’s security.
For weeks the administra-tion has said it won’t charac-terize the military’s takeover of the Egyptian government as a coup d’etat.’
Such a determination would not only make it appear that the U.S. was taking sides in the internal confl ict, but it also would, under U.S. law, trigger an automatic suspension of most aid programs.
However, while the administration has not declared Egypt’s military takeover a coup, offi cials are essentially treating it as such internally and are reviewing aid under the guidelines that govern such a determi-nation, a U.S. offi cial said. Stopping short of making a formal declaration gives the U.S. fl exibility in what aid it might cut off, the offi cial said. It also would make it easier to reinstate aid later.
The offi cial spoke only on condition of anonymity because the offi cial was not authorized to discuss the situation publicly.
The money is signifi cant. Between 1948 and 2011, the U.S. provided Egypt with $71.6 billion in bilateral aid, according to a June report
issued by the Congressional Research Service.
A number of U.S. interests are at stake. U.S. warships are given fast passage through the Suez Canal to deploy carrier groups to the Persian Gulf. Without that access, the ships would have to travel around the Cape of Good Hope, adding time to their deployment from Norfolk, Va., the report said. The U.S. also wants to keep the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace treaty intact, promote democracy and economic growth in the country and maintain Egyptian cooper-ation on intelligence and issues related to terrorist activity in the region.
The U.S. currently sends $1.48 billion a year in aid to Egypt.
The bulk of the money — $1.23 billion — is in the form of military aid. Since 2000, Egypt’s military fi nancing from the U.S. has been placed in an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York where the money stays until it is obligated. The money doesn’t actually leave the U.S. Egypt uses the money to negotiate major arms purchases, such as tanks, with U.S. defense suppliers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan Dempster of the Red Sox was suspended for fi ve games and fi ned by Major League Baseball for intentionally hitting Yankees star Alex Rodriguez with a pitch last weekend.
The penalty was announced Tuesday by MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola Jr., two days after Dempster hit A-Rod at Fenway Park. Garagiola also fi ned Yankees manager Joe Girardi for arguing with plate umpire Brian O’Nora on Sunday night.

WATERLOO — DeKalb girls soccer fans had to be ready right away for the start of the 2013 season Tuesday night.
Their Barons certainly were.DeKalb scored just 48 seconds
into the match and four goals in the fi rst 4:54 on their way to an 8-3 win over Northrop.
Kacey Wells, Taya Poynter and Madison VanWye had two goals each for the Barons. Those three and Alyssa Willey all scored in the early outburst.
Kayla Kissinger also scored for DeKalb. Alexa Fischer’s hat trick accounted for all of the Bruins’ scoring.
“That’s the best four minutes DeKalb girls soccer has ever had,” coach Sam Weicht said. “We scored in the fi rst minute.
“A senior and a junior up top, Kacey Wells and Taya Poynter, we’ve worked with those two for two years now getting them to criss-cross, and it was obvious they had it.”
DeKalb’s lead could have been much bigger if not for some stellar play by Northrop junior keeper Ashley Schultz. She robbed Andrea Oster, diving to tip a shot off the post. She also stopped Wells and VanWye on breakaway atttempts.
“Andrea (Oster) and Maddie in the back, they had multiple one-on-one runs,” Weicht said. “They were tired and they had the drive to keep going. We’ll hit some corners next time.”
The Bruins seemed to rally behind Schultz’s play and applied
offensive pressure of their own. Fischer got them on the board with 29:10 to go in the half. Poynter defl ected in a cross by Wells to give DeKalb a 5-1 lead at intermission.
“Our defense in that fi rst half got a workout, but the sign of a good team is come out and get
themselves back together, and turn it around,” Weicht said.
Wells took care of that, winning ball in center of the fi eld and then dashing in goal for her second score and a 6-1 lead just more than two minutes into the second half. That score seemed to defl ate a bit of the momentum the
Bruins had built before halftime.Fischer tucked one just
under the bar to make it 6-2, but VanWye scored off a restart for the Barons just more than a minute later to take any ideas of a comeback away from the Bruins.
DeKalb won the JV match 1-0 on a goal by Abby Fisher.

Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt watches his grand slam in front of Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco in the eighth inning Tuesday.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts spent big money to protect their multimillion dollar investment, Andrew Luck.
So when Buffalo’s Mario Williams got a clean shot on Indy’s franchise quarterback on the fi fth pass play of the preseason, left tackle Anthony Castonzo, like just about everyone else, was upset.
“He said, ‘Do you want to get hurt, Andrew?’ ” Luck said, explaining the blown block was the result of a cadence error. “So I told him I’d publicly take that one on me. He’s in the clear for that.”
Assessing blame isn’t the key issue in Indy’s locker room. Keeping Luck upright is, which is why the Colts made an enormous effort trying to revamp their offensive line.
After watching the new franchise quarterback go down 41 times last season and hit dozens more times, team owner Jim Irsay, general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano all came to the same conclusion: take
better care of Luck.Grigson, a former offensive
lineman who now seemingly has a cellphone glued to his ear, wasted no time getting to work.
His fi rst move in free agency was signing 314-pound Gosder Cherilus, a tackle from Detroit who could reinforce the right side. A few hours later, he added former New England guard Donald Thomas, a 306-pound sometimes starter who could help inside. Six weeks later, Grigson used a third-round draft pick on guard Hugh Thornton and a fourth-rounder on center Khaled Holmes.
So far the results have been mixed.
Though Luck wasn’t sacked in Sunday’s 20-12 victory over New York, he was knocked to the ground several times, and once scrambled for a fi rst down. Backups Matt Hasselbeck and Chandler Harnish have been duress in both games, too.
“We’re a work in progress. It’s going to take more practice, more games, but
we’re moving in the right direction,” Thomas said Tuesday. “You always want to protect the quarterback. It’s a pride thing.”
But fi xing an offensive line takes time and patience, things the Colts and Colts fans don’t have much of.
On Saturday, Indianapolis (1-1) will host Cleveland in the third preseason game, likely the longest and last real test for the starting linemen before the Sept. 8 season opener against Oakland. And if they’re going to keep Luck out of peril when the games count, the Colts need steady improvement.
Perhaps nobody in the complex understands the potential consequences of failure better than Castonzo. When Indy took the Boston College alum in the fi rst round of the 2011 draft, Castonzo thought he was walking into the most thankless job in football: protecting Peyton Manning’s blind side. But Manning never played a down that season after having neck surgery,
Better O-line key for Colts
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSPaul Goldschmidt set a
Diamondbacks record with his third grand slam of the season on Tuesday night and became the fi rst NL player to drive in 100 runs, powering Arizona to a 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Goldschmidt connected in the eighth inning off J.J. Hoover, ending the reliever’s streak of 23 scoreless appearances. His 31st homer tied him with Pittsburgh’s Pedro Alvarez for the NL lead. All of his career grand slams have come this season.
Left-hander Patrick Corbin (13-3) stymied Cincinnati’s lefty-dominated lineup, allowing six hits, including Chris Heisey’s two-run homer, during his second complete game. Corbin matched his career high with 10 strikeouts.Twins 6, Tigers 3
Justin Morneau had a season high four hits, including a two-run homer and a two-run double, and Glen Perkins struck out Miguel Cabrera with two on for the fi nal
out to help the Minnesota Twins hold off the Detroit Tigers.
Mike Pelfrey (5-10) gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. Jared Burton got out of a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth, and Perkins fi nished for his 29th save in 32 chances — barely.
Rick Porcello (9-7) allowed fi ve runs and seven hits over 4 1-3 innings for Detroit.White Sox 2, Royals 0
John Danks shut down Kansas City’s scuffl ing offense for eight innings, and the Chicago White Sox did just enough damage against Ervin Santana.
Danks (3-10) ended an eight-start winless streak by scattering seven hits and a walk. That the veteran left-hander’s fi nest start of the season came against the Royals wasn’t much of a surprise: Danks improved to 5-0 against them in 13 career starts.
Addison Reed worked around a leadoff single in the ninth for his 32nd save.

BUTLER — The 2013 Eastside Blazers will be counting on fi ve experienced skilled-position players to lead the way as younger players work into their roles.
Seniors Ty Lockhart, Kadis Renier and Tristan Sprunger and juniors P.J. Dean and Terry Nickolson will play key roles for a team that fi nished 6-5 last season, but the Blazers also graduated fi ve All-North-east Corner Conference performers.
“We feel we have a great mix of experience, talent intelligence and speed,” said head coach Mike Eshbach, entering his sixth season at Eastside. “I am not sure we
are fast if you are timing us in a 40, but I think we are football fast.”
Lockhart, an All-NECC and all-state selection at safety, was Eastside’s top receiver a year ago, catching 31 passes for 642 yards and seven touchdowns, to go with seven interceptions on defense.
Dean was second in receiving, grabbing 26 passes for 524 yards and six touchdowns. He was also a threat on the ground, running for 360 yards and another score.
Renier was the team’s leading rusher, carrying 68 times for 541 yards and six scores. He also caught 16 passes for 258 yards and four touchdowns.
Sprunger was a reliable receiver, catching 10 passes last year. Nickolson fi gures to play an expanded role in Eastside’s offense, Eshbach said.
Those players will be counted upon to contribute on defense as well. Renier is a contender at strong safety, and Nickolson may play at a linebacker spot.
Also returning is all-state kicker Kyle Franz, a senior, who made 38-of-40 extra points and 6-of-8 fi eld goal tries.
Contenders for linebacker positions include Nickolson (5-8, 170), sophomores Landen Brow (6-0, 200), Cory Franz (5-10, 170) and Trent Huff (6-0, 160) and junior Zach Carper (6-1,
170).Seniors Ryan Liechty
(6-2, 205) and Javier Moreno (5-11, 185), juniors Zac Thiel (6-0, 195) and Kraig Whitman (5-10, 230) are among the candidates for defensive line positions.
Brow, Carper, Liechty, Whitman, senior Don Davis (5-10, 190) and freshman Jacob Thompson (6-2, 215) are in the mix for offensive line positions.
Cory Franz or freshman Conner Dove (6-0, 180) will take over at quarterback for the Blazers. Moreno could contribute at tight end. The Blazers graduated All-NECC performers at both positions.

be varsity football players and adjust to the speed of the game,” Eshbach said. “The best way to overcome lack of experience is to place kids in situations where they have to make quick decisions and react in a quick way. We are hoping to provide many different situations so that they are well acclimated to the speed of the game on Friday nights.”
The Blazers have eight juniors and seven seniors on the roster. There are 10 sophomores and 17 freshmen on the 42-player roster.
“We must stay healthy, our defense must be able to keep us in games, and we must maximize every possible scoring opportu-
nity,” Eshbach said.Setting the tone the fi rst
game is important. The Blazers open the season Friday at home against cross-county rival and future NECC opponent Garrett.
“Our goal is to win the fi rst game,” Eshbach said. “We must get that monkey off our back. From that point, I think we have proven to have a very dynamic offense that can score a lot of points.
“Our main objective is to win the conference and make some noise in the playoffs,” he added.
After the season-opener with Garrett, the Blazers jump right into league play with an Aug. 30 home game with West Noble.
Blazers counting on experience
BY KEN FILLMOREkfi [email protected]
ANGOLA — In his fi rst full offseason in Angola, second-year Hornet football coach Josh Schoeff worked to establish the identity of his team in his image.
Better understanding and communication along with some adjustments and more players should help in achieving more success for AHS this season, which will begin at West Noble Friday night.
“Intensity, understanding, everything across the board is tenfold compared to last year,” Schoeff said. “I have better knowledge of what our guys are capable of. I’ve seen how guys compete in other sports. More guys are ready to play now than we ever had at any point last season.”
The Hornets (3-7 in 2012, including 3-5 in the Northeast Corner Confer-ence) will be entrenched in what the NECC has been known for, running the football. They will run the veer option offense. That was Huntington North’s bread and butter when Schoeff was an assistant on Rief Gilg’s staff.
Line play will be essential on both sides of the ball. Angola will be young and not overly big up front after graduating many important people, including Elijah Swager, Caleb Brown and Scott Harris. But Schoeff likes the potential of his linemen and also brought an experienced guy to coach them up. Former Angola head coach Rick Kirkton will coach the offensive and
defensive lines.“Our offensive line
has skill, depth, size and strength,” Schoeff said. “To be a great veer option football team, you have to have quickness. We had success running the ball between the tackles in our scrimmage with New Haven Friday.
“Our offensive line will be our MVPs for the season. The way they go is how our season will go. I want them to have chips on their shoulders. Being unnamed will work to their advantage.”
Senior Trevor Lynch will see plenty of action at quarterback for his third varsity season. Junior Robby Honer has the skill set and the footwork fi tting of a veer quarterback.
Lynch completed 57-of-110 passes last season
for 702 yards and three touchdowns while throwing three interceptions.
Lynch and Honer will want to get the ball in the hands of the Hornets’ biggest weapon, senior Austin Bauer. Bauer received KPC Media Group All-Area honors last season after rushing for 596 yards and catching passes for 503 yards with 12 touchdowns. He averaged 18 yards per reception and 8.2 yards per carry.
Seven starters return on defense, led by senior linebacker Dylan Belcher (35 tackles, including 24 solos and two sacks, and six fumble recoveries in 2012). The secondary is pretty much intact with senior Nick Spears and junior Simon Gardner on the corners, senior Troy Zvirblis at free safety and Lynch at the other
safety spot. Seniors Stefon Whitaker and Dakota Steele are returning starters on the defensive line.
Schoeff said the defense was the highlight of the scrimmage with a Bulldog team expected to be in the loaded upper half of the Northeast Hoosier Confer-ence.
“The defense showed us a lot. Guys were fl ying around playing with passion and energy,” Schoeff said. “We’re approaching the stage where are philosohpies and schemes are down to where we can play a little bit faster.”
Angola’s numbers are up to 75 players from grades 9-12 compared to 62 last year. Schoeff and his coaching staff have been hitting the hallways looking for more players and even
picked up some key players from other Hornet teams. Some players who did not play football last year are taking on key roles this season.
The offseason has been invaluable in the Hornets’ development. Schoeff noted that it lifted the status of sophomores Austin Holman and Jake Roddy. Holman will start at weakside linebacker Friday.
Along with Kirkton, boys track coach Mike Winters and assistant boys basket-ball coach Tim Pearcy were added to the coaching staff. Winters has coached football at Angola Middle School recently after briefl y being on the AHS staff. Pearcy, a former Trine University basketball forward, will coach AHS receivers and defensive backs.
“In the game of football, experience is everything,” Schoeff said. “Coach Kirkton has seen it all. Coach Winters coached at Marion and has wide knowledge of schemes and player development. He has helped our depth. Coach Pearcy connects real well with our players.”
In their radical pursuit of excellence, Schoeff and the Hornets feel they can compete for an NECC championship.
“We are trying to create a tremendous culture. We also attack the season asking the question ‘Why not us?,’” Schoeff said. “It will be a tremendous challenge. But we got some key pieces in places to be pretty stinkin’ good. If we hit our stride, we can be a very scary team to deal with.”

THE STARkpcnews.com B3WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2013
While still cutting my teeth on the tough shoe leather that is journalism, I was taught a simple axiom for determining newswor-thiness: Dog bites man is not news. Man bites dog is news.
It is the unexpected that is truly newsworthy. The more you don’t expect it, the bigger the news probably is.
That’s why I was partic-ularly surprised when The Associated Press wrote a story about former Gov. Mitch Daniels’ 2010 attempts to keep a textbook by liberal historian Howard Zinn out of Indiana classrooms. Instead, Daniels wanted to use a textbook written by former
Reagan education secretary Bill Bennett.Emails obtained by The Associated
Press through a public records request show Bennett had much more favor among Daniels and his advisers, AP wrote. In January 2010, when Daniels discovered the board of education had changed the state’s textbook rules to allow Bennett’s book, he quickly asked how soon his advisers could get copies of “The Last Best Hope” in classrooms.
Where exactly is the news value here?This is not a dissertation on the rightness
or wrongness of Daniels’ efforts.Daniels is one of two politicians
who never, ever called me back when I requested that he do so. The other was former U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh. Daniels is a Republican, and Bayh is a Democrat, which only proves that ignoring the media is not a partisan position per se (but most likely the righteous outcome of being a well-bred individual).
This also is not discourse on the questions regarding liberal history vs. conservative history, which is a matter of taste and spin. Conservatives would have you believe it was the courageousness of the citizenry that allowed Americans to tame the Wild West, while liberals would point out we basically stole everything from Native Americans. The truth lies at least partially with both camps (leading a person to believe that both sides, if not lying outright, are at least guilty of the sin of omission for ignoring part of the truth).
Rather, this is about man bites dog, or dog biting man.
Is anyone surprised Mitch Daniels, a conservative, was opposed to a liberal historian’s account of history? Is it a shocker that Daniels supported a conserva-tive historian’s account of history?
It could be argued that not only was Daniels doing what was expected of him, but also what his obligation was as a man elected by a conservative majority of voters on two separate occasions. Are our elected representatives supposed to categorically refute the principles of the people who put them into offi ce in the fi rst place?
Is Daniels doing pretty much what was expected of him really news at all?
Now if Daniels had been pushing Zinn, that would be something.
The AP, of course, needs to publish something to justify the hassle it went through to gain access to Daniels’ emails.
If the news organization can’t come up with anyhing more sinister than this, then Daniels should rest easy.
I would tell him that personally, but he never returns my phone calls.

We stand corrected on energy savings
To the editor:In the editorial on the energy-saving
project … there is an error in your calcula-tion that, in my opinion, changes the saving from essentially insignifi cant to meaningful. In doing the math, saving 416 million kilowatt-hours out of a total of 30 billion is actually 1.4 percent, not “less than one-tenth of 1 percent.”
Bill BrandWaterloo
EDITOR’S NOTE: We apologize for placing the decimal point in the wrong spot in our calculations.
Our current immigration system is broken To the editor:
Congressman Marlin Stutzman says he is against amnesty, and so am I! But I think we can both agree that our current immigra-tion system is broken and urgent action is needed.
We need to secure the border; we need to increase the number of H-1B visas to attract the world’s best and brightest; we need a simple and effective employment verifi ca-tion system to ensure employers play by the rules; and we need a pathway to legal status for those currently in the country.
In the interest of national security alone, we must identify and register those illegally
in the country now. For those found to have no criminal records, earning legal status and eventually citizenship should be an option, but only in a way that’s fair to those who came here legally in the fi rst place. These immigrants need to acknowledge they broke our laws by paying a fi ne and back taxes, learning English, and getting in the back of the line so those that are playing by the rules aren’t penalized.
We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity to end our current system of de facto amnesty and create a pro-growth, 21st century immigration system that is essential to improving our border security as well as our economic security.

Later this month, we will observe the 50th anniversary of the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” The protesters’ demands during that march prompted Dr. Terri Jett to pen an op-ed for the Indianapolis Star. In particular, she emphasized a signifi cant increase in the minimum wage (to $10.10 per hour) as “a moral imperative” that would be benefi cial to less-skilled workers and the economy as a whole.
Dr. Jett encouraged her readers to support legislation proposed by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Rep. George Miller (D-CA). Their bill would “index” the minimum wage, as well, and provide an arbitrary increase in the minimum wage for restaurant servers. Both provisions are reasonable enough — if one is going to have a minimum wage. But the minimum wage itself is greatly overrated and vastly inferior to other policies that accomplish the same goals without collateral damage.
But let’s start with what is helpful in the legislation. First, “indexing” means to adjust something for the impact of infl ation. For example, the tax code is indexed, so that taxpayers don’t drift into higher income tax brackets, simply through the higher cost of living induced by the federal govern-ment through infl ation. Social Security is also indexed; payments to the elderly are adjusted for higher average costs of living. Likewise, the minimum wage should be indexed.
Another benefi t of this reform: It would eliminate the need to revisit this tired issue every few years. We don’t argue over giving more money to Grandma every few years. There’s no good reason to sporadi-cally debate the minimum wage either.
Second, the minimum wage is not
currently applied to all labor markets. Restaurant servers don’t earn the minimum but they receive tip income. Other exemptions are far more arbitrary, ranging from babysitters to farmers, from wreath-makers to newspaper employees, from
the disabled to the seasonally employed. But if the minimum wage is good policy — for workers and for society — why are there any exceptions at all? In this, the Harkin-Miller proposal lacks coherency or courage.
All that said, the minimum wage is not good policy. Let’s start with the most obvious point: By increasing the cost of
hiring less-skilled workers, the policy would help those who keep their jobs but harm those whose skills would not be rented at the higher, artifi cial, arbitrary wage fl oor. (For example, the unemployment rate was 11 percent in July for those with less than a high school education.) Why is it wise or compassionate to help some less-skilled workers by punishing others in the same, vulnerable category?
And it can’t be good for the economy as a whole. If it were, we could simply legislate our way to economic growth and prosperity by increasing the minimum wage to $50 per hour. Again, the policy prescrip-tion lacks coherence or courage.
Ironically, given Dr. Jett’s connection of the policy to the goals of that long ago March, a higher minimum wage increases the likelihood of discriminatory outcomes.
The policy disproportionately impacts some minority groups, since they are disproportionately among the unskilled. And by increasing the surplus of workers (unemployment), it lowers the cost of engaging in discrimination. If I’m a bigot, it’s comforting to know that there’s a line of workers from whom I can choose — to indulge my odd and unfortunate preferences. (For example, the black teen unemployment rate was 42 percent in July; for white teens, it was 20 percent.)
Finally, the minimum wage is poorly-tar-geted. It increases wages for all minimum-wage workers, not just those trying to raise a family on a “living” wage. As such, it points to better policy alternatives. For example, Indiana imposes the highest state income taxes on households at the poverty line. State legislators, concerned about the working poor, should eliminate all taxation on income earned by those in households below the poverty line.
Federal payroll taxes cause far more damage. They cost the working poor 15.3 percent of every dollar earned — for those at the poverty line, more than $3,000 per year. The beauty of these policy reforms is that they do not impose a cost on those we’re trying to help.
The moral imperative with public policy begins with good policy analysis and well-targeted policies that maximize benefi ts and minimize costs, particularly for the vulnerable in our society. As such, the minimum wage is a poor policy for trying to help the poor.

Remember reason for Common Core standards
The review of Common Core State Standards, as applied to Indiana, has begun. It is a familiar battle, having been fought once before.
The state Board of Education had already approved the Common Core standards in 2010, and Indiana’s schools have been working to implement them in their curriculum.
These standards aim to make sure students at each grade level are making progress toward becoming college- and career-ready.
They also allow students across the nation to be compared with
their peers. That makes sense, for they will be competing with the same group for college admissions and for jobs.
The Common Core standards have been criticized as another example of the federal government trying to take over a state respon-sibility, but that’s just not true. The Common Core standards are not guidelines handed down from the federal government, but those agreed upon by nearly every state.
Even within those national standards, there is room for adaptation to address issues within the state. Indiana should not shy away from that option, as long as the larger goal of being able to compare scores with peers in other states is not forgotten.
Earlier this year, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law calling for a one-year pause in implementation of the new standards while the legislators second-guess the state Board of Education’s decision to adopt them.
Complicating the issue are two factors — the computer glitch that hampered widespread standardized testing in Indiana and a few other states this spring, along with the scandal involving former Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett ordering school accountability grades to be changed. Bennett, a Republican, recommended adoption of the Common Core standards, and now all his actions are being
scrutinized.What must not be lost in this
debate, however, is that standard-ized tests and accountability are needed to ensure Hoosier students are learning what they need to succeed in life.
Common Core standards can and should be adapted to include Indiana-specifi c goals. Even the critics should agree with that.
But don’t just scrap this movement because of the Tony Bennett scandal or the ill-con-ceived notion that comparing students on a national basis is a bad idea. Indiana students need the Common Core standards to ensure they are well prepared for the future.

Dr. Oz helps when taxi hits woman
NEW YORK (AP) — After a yellow cab jumped the curb and struck a New York City pedestrian, Dr. Oz was there.
Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz heard the accident Tuesday morning outside Rockefeller Center and rushed to the scene to help out. The studio where he tapes his syndicated talk show is nearby.
Oz says in a statement that emergency medical crews were already treating the injured woman who had a bad leg wound. He says a good Samaritan made a tourniquet out of a belt for the woman.
Prosecutors rest in Fort Hood trial
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Military prosecu-tors rested their case Tuesday against the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people during the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but whether the soldier plans to do anything to defend himself remains to be seen.
After calling nearly 90 witnesses in only 11 days, prosecutors completed their case against Maj. Nidal Hasan. The soldier also is accused of wounding more than 30 people at the Texas Army post during the attack, the worst mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base.
The judge then adjourned the trial for the day, meaning Hasan could begin his case Wednesday — but he indicated Tuesday that he planned to call no witnesses. When reminded by the judge when it was time to formally argue that prosecu-tors hadn’t proven their case, Hasan declined.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Washington (AP) — An Afghan farmer shot during a massacre in Kandahar Province last year took the witness stand Tuesday against the U.S. soldier who attacked his village, cursing him before breaking down and pleading with the prosecutor not to ask him any more questions.
Haji Mohammad Naim appeared Tuesday in the courtroom at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, where a sentencing hearing began for Staff Sgt. Robert Bales in the slayings of 16 civilians killed during pre-dawn raids on two
villages on March 11, 2012.The hearing afforded
some victims and relatives their fi rst chance to confront Bales face-to-face.
With a thick gray beard, a turban and traditional Afghan dress, Haji Mohammad Naim testifi ed in his native Pashto through an interpreter, speaking loudly and quickly and frequently waving a fi nger in the air. He pointed to where he was shot in the cheek and neck.
“This bastard stood right in front of me!” he said. “I wanted to ask him, ‘What did I do? What have I done to you?’… And he shot me!”
Bales pleaded guilty in June to avoid the death penalty. Now the six jurors must decide whether he is sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole or without it.
Naim, who is about 60 years old, said he has suffered from numbness in his hand and a stutter since the shooting. He became emotional, often speaking over the interpreter, as prosecutor Lt. Col. Jay Morse asked what it was like to have someone come into his home uninvited. He eventually stood up and said he’d had enough: “Don’t ask me any more questions!”
The prosecutor asked him for one more favor: to sit down and see whether the defense attorneys had any questions for him. He complied, but Bales’ lawyers said they didn’t need to ask him anything.
Naim’s two sons, Sadiquallah, who is about 13, and the older Faizullah, also testifi ed.
Sadiquallah spoke quietly, responding with a simple “yes” when asked if he cried about being shot. Faizullah, who was not at home during the attack, said his father has trouble picking up even simple objects because his hand is so weak.
Seven Afghans testifi ed. Four were hurt in the attacks. Three others were relatives of the dead or wounded.
Among the other victims who testifi ed was a man who goes by the name Samiullah. His teenage son, Rafi ullah, was shot in both legs. His daughter, Zardana, survived after being shot in the head.
“He wakes up with nightmares. He thinks the Americans are coming after him,” Samiullah said. “Zardana was a bright girl. She was shot in the head. Half her brain is missing. She is no longer the same person.”

A memorial to Christopher Lane is shown Tuesday along the road where
he was shot and killed, in Duncan, Okla.
DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) — With the simplest of motives — breaking up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer — three teenagers followed an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him with a shot to the back for “the fun of it,” prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the teens with murder.
As the boys appeared in an Oklahoma courtroom, a 17-year-old blurted out, “I pulled the trigger,” then wept after a judge told him that Tuesday’s hearing wasn’t the time or place to sort out the facts of the case.
Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” as he told Stephens County Judge Jerry Herberger how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, died on a city street.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, of Duncan were charged with fi rst-de-gree murder and, under Oklahoma law, will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan was accused of using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory to fi rst-de-gree murder after the fact.
He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court.
“I’m appalled,” Hicks said after the hearing. “This is not supposed to happen in this community.”
In court, Hicks said Luna was sitting in the rear seat of a car when he pulled the trigger on a .22 caliber revolver and shot Lane once in the back. Hicks said Jones was driving the vehicle and Edwards was in the passenger seat.
Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.
“I believe this man is a threat to the community and should not be let out,” Hicks said as he requested no bond for Edwards. “He thinks it’s all a joke.”
The two younger boys were held without bond; Bond was set at $1 million for Jones.
Family and friends on two continents mourned Lane, who gave up pursuit of an Australian football career to pursue his passion for baseball, an American pastime. His girlfriend Sarah Harper tearfully laid a cross at a streetside memorial
in Duncan, while half a world away, an impromptu memorial grew at the home plate he protected as a catcher on his youth team.
“We just thought we’d leave it,” Sarah Harper said as she visited the memorial on Duncan’s north, well-to-do side. “This is his fi nal spot.”
Flowers, photos and an Australian fl ag already adorned the roadside in a tribute to Lane.
“I don’t know anybody who’s left this. It means a lot,” Harper said.
Police Chief Dan Ford has said the boys wanted to overcome a boring end to their summer vacation — classes in Duncan resumed Tuesday — and that Jones told offi cers that they were bored and killed Lane for “the fun of it.”
Lane played at East Central University in Ada, 85 miles east of Duncan, and had been visiting Harper and her parents after he and his girlfriend returned to the U.S. from Australia about a week ago.
His old team, Essendon, scheduled a memorial game for Sunday to raise funds for Lane’s parents as they worked to have their boy’s remains sent home.
Three teens charged after Australian player slain
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) — In an unprece-dented ruling that tests the military’s aura of inviola-bility, a court indicted former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf Tuesday on murder charges stemming from the 2007 assassination of ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Musharraf, who became a key U.S. ally in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, pleaded not guilty.
The decision by the court in Rawalpindi marked the fi rst time a current or former army chief has been charged with a crime in the country.
Musharraf, a 70-year-old former commando who took power in a 1999 coup and stepped down from offi ce in disgrace nearly a decade later, now faces a string of legal problems that in many ways challenge the military’s sacrosanct status in Pakistani society.
The retired general was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and facilitation for murder, said prosecutor Chaudhry Muhammed Azhar.
He did not detail the accusations against Musharraf, but prosecutors have alleged he failed to provide enough protection to Bhutto as she led her Pakistan People’s Party in a parliamentary election that might have given her a third term as prime minister. She was killed in a gun and
bomb attack at a rally in Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad.
The charges also include clearing the scene of a crime and destroying evidence, Azhar said.
Bhutto was respected by many Pakistanis for her condemnation of militancy and support for the poor. But her premiership was marred by accusations of widespread corruption.
Her assassination set off protests across the country and helped propel her party to power in parliament and her husband to the presidency.
Bhutto’s supporters say Musharraf ignored requests for additional security, and a 2010 U.N. report on her death said he failed to make serious efforts to ensure Bhutto’s safety.
The court also harshly criticized investigators for hosing down the crime scene, failing to perform an autopsy and quickly blaming a Taliban commander for the assassination.
The prosecutor said he has a list of 148 witnesses and documents including a note Bhutto sent to a close friend complaining that Musharraf was not providing her with proper security.
The judge set Aug. 27 as the next court date to present evidence. But Pakistan court cases can drag on for years, and convictions are often overturned on appeal.
Former president charged in Bhutto killing
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A teen was in custody Tuesday, accused of fi ring shots from an assault rifl e at an Atlanta-area elementary school where dramatic televi-sion footage showed young students racing out of the building, being escorted by teachers and police to safety. No one was injured.
The 800 or so students in pre-kindergarten to fi fth grade were evacuated from Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, a few miles east of Atlanta. They sat outside in a fi eld for a time until school buses came to take them to their waiting parents and other relatives at a nearby Wal-Mart. When the fi rst bus arrived a couple hours later, cheers erupted in the store parking lot.
The suspect, a 19-year-old man with no clear ties to the school, fi red at least a half-dozen shots with an assault rifl e from inside the school and offi cers returned fi re when the man was alone and they had a clear shot, DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L. Alexander said at a news conference.
Though the school has a system where people must be buzzed in, the gunman slipped inside behind someone authorized to be there, Alexander said. The suspect, whose identity was not released, never got past the front offi ce, where he held one or two employees captive for a time, and was being questioned at the police department, Alexander said. No charges had yet been fi led.
A woman in the school
offi ce called WSB-TV as it was happening to say the gunman asked her to contact the Atlanta station and police. WSB said during the call, shots were heard in the background. Assignment editor Lacey Lecroy said she spoke with the woman who said she was alone with the man and his gun was visible.
“It didn’t take long to know that this woman was serious,” Lecroy said. “Shots were one of the last things I heard. I was so worried for her.”
U.S. Marshals and other law enforcement took the man into custody after the shootout. Alexander said the man had other weapons.
DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Michael Thurmond praised faculty and authorities who got the young students to safety, staying calm and following safety plans in place. All teachers and students made it out of the school unharmed.
“It’s a blessed day, all of our children are safe,” Thurmond said at the news conference. “This was a highly professional response on the ground by DeKalb County employees assisted by law enforcement.”
Complicating the rescue, bomb-sniffi ng dogs alerted offi cers to something in the suspect’s trunk and investi-gators believe the man may have been carrying explosives, Alexander said. Offi cials cut a hole in a fence to make sure students running from the building could get even farther away to a nearby street, he said.

Iran Foreign Ministry to handle nuke talks
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s Western-educated foreign minister will take the lead in nuclear talks with world powers, an Iranian diplomat said Tuesday, in a sign the Islamic Republic may seek a less confronta-tional approach to negoti-ations over its disputed nuclear program than in past years.
Since the election of centrist Hasan Rouhani as president in June, the country has trumpeted what it says will be a fresh new style in its dealings with a six-nation group — the fi ve permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany — over the program.
The main thrust of the plan, offi cials say, is to maintain the program but abandon the bombastic negotiating style used under Rouhani’s predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
San Diego mayor back in talks
SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego’s embattled mayor on Tuesday spent a second day in settlement talks over a sexual harassment lawsuit against him, as petitions circulated to recall the former congressman who has been besieged by allegations from more than a dozen women.
City Council President Todd Gloria and Councilman Kevin Faulconer confi rmed that Mayor Bob Filner has been present at the talks involving the lawsuit fi led by his former communi-cations director Irene McCormack Jackson.
McCormack, as she is known professionally, was the fi rst to go public with allegations against the 70-year-old mayor, who has resisted an avalanche of calls to step down, including from the entire City Council.
Gloria and Faulconer declined to comment further, saying the mediator, former federal judge J. Lawrence Irving, has asked that no one divulge specifi cs about the ongoing talks.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What does magnesium contribute to good health? Should I have my magnesium level checked?
DEAR READER: Magnesium is important for good health. You need adequate magnesium for bone health, and it’s essential for proper nerve, muscle, heart rhythm and immune function. It helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes healthy blood pressure.
We get most of the magnesium we need in food. About half of the magnesium we absorb is stored in bone; the other half is stored in cells throughout the body. Excess magnesium is excreted through the kidneys.
If you eat whole-grain bread and your tap water is “hard” — meaning it contains relatively high levels of minerals — you probably consume more magnesium than a person
who favors white bread and drinks “soft ” water. Why? Th e refi ning process used to make white fl our strips away the magnesium-rich germ
and bran layer of the wheat. And hard water contains more magnesium than soft water.
Most people don’t have to worry about the level of magnesium in their blood. If you’re otherwise healthy, your magnesium level is probably
normal and you don’t need to check it regularly. Magnesium defi ciency is rare in this country. When it does occur,
it can cause muscle weakness, cramping or cardiac arrhyth-mias.
Conditions that impair magnesium absorption include chronic vomiting, Crohn’s disease (an infl am-matory condition of the intestine), celiac disease and gastric bypass surgery. In all of these conditions, magnesium is lost in what is vomited or passed in bowel movements. As a result, people with these conditions oft en have magnesium defi ciency.
Commonly used diuretic medicines also can cause the kidneys to eliminate magnesium in the urine, lowering the level of magnesium in the blood and throughout the body. Th e thiazide diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide) or “loop diuretics” (such as furosemide) are both culprits. People with diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled also lose magnesium in the urine. Th e
same is true for people who abuse alcohol.
How much magnesium should you get? For women ages 19-30, 310 milligrams (mg) daily; ages 31 and older, 320 mg. For men ages 19-30, 400 mg; ages 31 and older, 420 mg.
Popular multivitamin brands contain between 10 percent to 30 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for magnesium. Studies have shown that magnesium supplements may modestly lower blood pressure, but don’t take high-dose supple-ments without a doctor’s guidance.
You can get magnesium from a variety of healthy foods, such as nuts, fi sh, certain fruits, many vegetables and whole grains.

Almanac•
DEAR ABBY: I am a twice-divorced woman who has never been good at choosing the men in my life. Two years ago, I met a man who is 12 years my senior. He is sweet, thoughtful and caring, and would do just about anything for me. What started as companionship has turned into a full-blown love aff air. Th e problem is that he is married. His wife is not well. She has a chronic disease and other medical problems. Th e way he cares for her is what attracted me to him in the fi rst place. He spends what time he can with me, but mostly he is there for his wife. I am OK with the situation, as I don’t want him to leave her for me. I have tried breaking it off with him, but he gets me to take him back, saying he doesn’t know what he would do without me in his life. He is very
strong-willed. Abby, I feel like I’m in the background waiting for
her to die so I can take her place as his wife, and I hate this feeling. What should I do? —GUILTY IN DEAR GUILTY: Your feelings are well founded. You ARE waiting in the background for this
man’s wife to die. But what if she doesn’t? You say you have never been good at choosing men, and I have to agree. Please don’t think I am unsympa-thetic, but it’s time to ask yourself why you chose to
get involved with someone who isn’t available except for a few stolen moments. If marriage is what you really want, your priority should be to fi nd a man who doesn’t have the kind of previous commitment this one does.
