Officers have charged one of three people in the car with stabbing Giovanni Brown, 21, on a private driveway just off Oakland Avenue in the southwest corner of the borough. William Anthony “Tony” Rivera, 21, of Reston, Va., surrendered to authorities at 10:30 Tuesday morning at the Indiana District Court, where he was charged with aggravated assault and tampering with evidence. With his parents and Indiana attorney Robert Muir at his side, Rivera appeared for a preliminary arraignment on the charge before District Judge Guy Haberl, who firmly instructed him to have no contact with Brown or the other witnesses in the case while he awaits court action on the charges. Haberl said he understood Rivera planned to withdraw from classes at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he was enrolled in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and that he would remain at his parents’ home in Virginia.

State police have warned the public that Eric Frein, 31, of Canadensis, is dangerous, saying he’s talked about committing mass murder. One local school district closed today because of HARRISBURG — A bill that would allow Pennsylvania teachers and other school employees to carry guns at work drew a mixed reaction Tuesday from lawmakers. Republican Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, the prime sponsor, said at a Senate Education Committee hearing that the bill would give school boards more options for protecting students, especially those in rural areas that rely on often-distant state troopers for police protection. Mark Zilinskas, an Indiana Area High School math teacher who was the leadoff witness for the bill, said the legislation would enable school employees who are licensed and trained to use guns to prevent a mass shooting, rather than react to it. “They refer to the police as the first responders and we are the first responders. I am the first responder,” MARK he said, “and I believe that I can make a difference ZILINSKAS and other people like me can make a difference if we have the proper tools and training.” Proponents of the bill cited the 2012 massacre of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and an April knife attack at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville that injured 21 people as examples of incidents that armed school employees might have stopped. But Sen. Anthony Williams said it is a bad idea to place such a grave responsibility on people whose principal interest is educating children.

INDIANA BOROUGH Liquor license denial affirmed By RANDY WELLS rwells@indianagazette.net Indiana Borough council Tuesday adopted a resolution formally denying a request made in August to transfer a liquor license into the borough for a proposed new restaurant. Cory Reilly sought council’s approval for the license transfer from Alverda for what he said would be a family-style restaurant specializing in Irish cuisine in the 600 block of Philadelphia Street. Because Indiana already has 23 liquor licenses, substantially more than one license per 3,000 inhabitants, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board requires that an applicant for a transfer must get approval from the receiving municipality before the PLCB grants final approval for the transfer. At a public hearing in August, several council members raised concerns that another establishment in the borough with a liquor license could adversely affect the welContinued on Page 12 Take Us With You!

State Gazette wire services Deleting of state emails in question Second Mile seeks OK to sell land PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pennsylvania newspaper is asking a judge to prevent state agencies from deleting email five days after receiving it. The Pittsburgh PostGazette filed a lawsuit Monday in Commonwealth Court asking that the correspondence be preserved for at least two years. Newspaper lawyers say the destruction violates the due process rights of anyone seeking public records under Pennsylvania’s Right-toKnow Law. The complaint noted acting Education Secretary Carolyn Dumaresq’s recent statement that she and other department employees “delete and cleanse” their email nightly. The complaint names as defendants the Governor’s Office of Administration and the state Department of Education. STATE COLLEGE (AP) — The charity for young people founded by Jerry Sandusky is asking a judge for permission to sell a 60-acre parcel to a businessman who has discussed turning it into an indoor sports and recreation complex.

Bloomsburg Fair officials say the 23-year-old amusement company employee was examining the Sky Ride from one of its gondolas Tuesday. The Press Enterprise reported that his sweatshirt got caught in an overhead wheel, and the metal cord carrying the gondolas cut a deep gouge in his neck. An operator hit the emergency stop button. That’s what prevented the man from being decapitated, according to Bloomsburg Rescue Chief Hugh Gross. Officials say the worker lost a lot of blood but was conscious when taken to the hospital.

A separate study published this week by different researchers examined drilling sites in Pennsylvania and Texas using other methods. It found that faulty well construction caused pollution, but not fracking itself. Avner Vengosh, a Duke University scientist involved with that study, just published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said in an email that it appears the Energy Department report on the Pennsylvania site is consistent with their findings. The leading industry group in Pennsylvania said the Energy Department study reaffirms that hydraulic fracturing “is a safe and well-regulated technology.” Marcellus Shale Coalition President Dave Spigelmyer said in an email that the study reflects “the industry’s long and clear record of continuously working to enhance regulations.” 724-349-2500 PITTSBURGH — The final report from a landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, found no evidence that chemicals or brine water from the gas drilling process moved upward to contaminate drinking water at a site in western Pennsylvania. The Department of Energy report, released Monday, was the first time an energy company allowed independent monitoring of a drilling site during the fracking process and for 18 months afterward. After those months of monitoring, researchers found that the chemical-laced fluids used to free gas stayed about 5,000 feet below drinking water supplies. Scientists used tracer fluids, seismic monitoring and other tests to look for problems, and created the most detailed public report to date about how fracking affects adjacent rock structures. The fracking process uses millions of gallons of high- pressure water mixed with sand and chemicals to break apart rocks rich in oil and gas. That has led to a national boom in production, but also to concerns about possible groundwater contamination. But the Energy Department report is far from the last word on the subject. The department monitored six wells at one site, but oil or gas drilling at other locations around the nation could show different results because of variations in geology or drilling practices. Environmentalists and regulators have also documented cases in which surface spills of chemicals or wastewater damaged drinking water supplies. “There are a whole wealth of harms associated with shale gas development” separate from fracking, said Maya K. van Rossum, of the Delaware Riverkeeper group. She mentioned methane gas leaks, wasteful use of fresh water and air pollution, and said the Energy Department study confirms a point that the Riverkeeper has been INDIANA MALL Associated Press Lorelli’s Jewelry By KEVIN BEGOS PANDORA BRACELET Landmark fracking study finds no water pollution Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 3 FREE The Indiana Gazette Page 4 — Wednesday, September 17, 2014 The Indiana Gazette OBITUARIES Patricia Buterbaugh Patricia “Honey” Buterbaugh, 73, of Great Falls, Va., passed away Monday, Sept. 15, 2014, at her home, surrounded by family.

Board discusses security systems By SEAN YODER syoder@indianagazette.net PURCHASE LINE — The Purchase Line Area School District board of directors discussed the new security systems at each of the main entrances at Monday night’s regular meeting. For visitors, the School Guardian system will scan their state-issued identification and print out a temporary pass with a photo. After 12 hours, a red circle with a slash through it will appear on the pass to prevent reuse. The system will try to match the photo on a visitors’ identification with the one in the official database. It will also search special databases such as the ones for sexual offenders. Superintendent Joseph Bradley said the system was running well and, so far, the community and families have been very receptive. He said if someone does not have a state ID, an administrator or teacher will go outside to talk to the person and try to make reasonable arrangements. The system is capable of tracking students’ movements throughout the buildings, but Bradley said the district is currently satisfied with its ability to track students through current attendance methods. In other business, the district may soon have an agreement with its support YOUNG TOWNSHIP Citations issued Harassment Patrick Matasowski, 19, of Erie, Erie County, was cited by borough police on Sept. 4 with underage drinking and violation of the open container ordinance at 11:45 p.m. Aug. 28 in the 500 block of Grant Street. State police reported that Melvin Bosley Jr., 62, of McIntyre, entered DJ Joe’s Bar on Sept. 3 after being advised numerous times to stay away from the tavern, and struck Tammy Hartment, of Shelocta, two times. Troopers at Indiana cited Bosley with summary counts of harassment and defiant trespass. ARMSTRONG TOWNSHIP Theft Sharon Swales, of Shelocta, told state police at Indiana someone stole a pair of Coach prescription sunglasses and a Garmin GPS unit from her vehicle while it was at 1064 Route 156 between Friday and Sunday. BLACKLICK TOWNSHIP Paraphernalia possession State police at Indiana served a search warrant on the residence at 41 Mill St. at 2:14 p.m. Sept. 5. Police said investigators found 23 hypodermic needles, rubber bands and spoons used for processing and injecting drugs. Clark Headrick Jr., 35, of that address, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. CHERRYHILL TOWNSHIP Disorderly conduct State police reported that two 15year-old boys attending Penns Manor High School fought each other at 10 a.m. Monday in the school. Troopers at Indiana reported both were cited with disorderly conduct. WHITE TOWNSHIP Troopers reported the men, all IUP students, were caught attempting to steal PlayStation 3 items valued at $269.80 from Walmart, SouthTowne Plaza, at 6:20 p.m. Sept. 2. CONEMAUGH TOWNSHIP HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania Treasurer Robert McCord said Tuesday he authorized a $700 million loan to the state government’s main bank account after the balance dropped below zero for the first time in at least 14 years. The transfer, made Monday, borrows from other state funds at a low interest rate of 0.25 percent, and McCord predicted the state would need to borrow more soon to pay the bills. The announcement, coming 2½ months after Gov. Tom Corbett signed a Republican-penned budget package, was immediately swept up into campaign-season politics. Democrats sought to paint the loan as an indictment of the Republican governor’s handling of the state’s fiscal affairs. Republicans accused Democrats of trying to twist a routine method of covering a shortterm cash shortage into a political weapon against Corbett, who is seeking reelection. The Corbett campaign and Democratic challenger Tom Wolf’s campaign each released a statement accusing the other of reckless fiscal behavior — Corbett as governor, Wolf as revenue secretary under former Gov. Ed Rendell. At a Capitol news conference, McCord and Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, both Democrats, tied the need for the loan to a persistent structural recorded on surveillance video, and filed a citation against Smoody in Brookville District Court, charging her with scattering rubbish. SAINT CLAIR TOWNSHIP, WESTMORELAND COUNTY Intoxication Vandalism State police responded at 3:33 p.m. Sept. 6 to a report of a suspicious man on Albin Drive and found James DeSantis II, 50, to be highly intoxicated, according to a news release. Troopers cited DeSantis with public drunkenness in Blairsville District Court; online records show DeSantis pleaded guilty and was assessed $278 in fins and court costs. State police reported that Tyler Custor, of Seward, left his car along the side of Route 56 near Laurel Ridge State Park because of mechanical problems at 12:30 a.m. Sunday while he went to find assistance, and found the driver’s side door window had been smashed when he returned at 2 a.m. PINE CREEK TOWNSHIP, JEFFERSON COUNTY Shoplifting Littering State police charged Evan Ludwig, 19, of Northern Cambria; Erick Jennings, 19, of Hastings, Cambria County; and Tyler Hartman, 19, of Northern Cambria, with summary counts of retail theft in citations filed Sept. 8 at Homer City District Court. Carol Smoody, 73, of Brookville, dumped two bags of used cat litter into a mulch bed on property owned by her neighbor, Gregory Swartz, along Haney Road at noon Sept. 10, state police reported. Troopers reported the act was staff, Bradley said. They have been without a contract since June. The current terms of the contract will be voted on by support staff and sent back to the school board for a final approval, probably at a special meeting on Sept. 22. Teachers have been without a contract for over a year and the administration’s contract will be up next year. The board approved the hiring of Thomas Aurandt as assistant high school principal and federal programs coordinator. Aurandt comes from Central Cambria School District, where he was a teacher and coach. Before that, he was a practicing attorney. The board also approved the hiring of Kenneth Swanson as interim business manager at a rate of $60 per hour. The high school was approved for participation in the Pennsylvania Youth Survey, which gathers data from students in grades six, eight, 10 and 12 on their attitudes and behaviors toward alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and violence. The at-risk survey results will not list the names of students. Families will have the opportunity to opt out at their discretion. Pa. treasurer OKs $700 million loan POLICE LOG INDIANA BOROUGH PURCHASE LINE SCHOOL DISTRICT DERRY TOWNSHIP, WESTMORELAND COUNTY Theft Somebody stole four steel manhole covers, a steel lifting bar and an assortment of scrap steel between Sept. 5 and 8 from a construction site along Kingston Club Road near Edward Street, state police reported. The goods belong to Shaffer Excavating, of Ligonier, according to a police news release. deficit in the state’s government finances, and said it is an alarming sign of the state’s deteriorating financial condition. “There’s going to be a day of reckoning very soon,” DePasquale said. Pennsylvania received its third bond downgrade in two years in July, after Corbett signed a $29 billion nonew-taxes budget that was balanced with the help of about $2.5 billion in stopgaps. The budget package authorizes $943 million in additional spending and cuts business taxes. Corbett’s aides and other Republicans noted that the budget is balanced and that such financing has been used numerous times before, under many other governors. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, called the news conference by McCord and DePasquale “political theater and an unnecessary waste of time.” Corbett’s budget secretary, Charles Zogby, said there is no cause for alarm. He said politics is behind the hand-wringing by McCord and DePasquale. “To suggest that some historical event is happening here is just hyperbole,” Zogby said. Zogby said the loan is necessary during what is typically a low-cash flow period for the state. But McCord and DePasquale said it is unusual for a loan to be necessary so early in the fiscal year, which began July 1. Committee approves tax on cigarettes HARRISBURG (AP) — Philadelphia’s school system drew nearer to a badly needed infusion of cash with a unanimous Pennsylvania House committee vote Tuesday in favor of a $2-a-pack cigarette tax in the city. The House Rules Committee voted after stripping out other unrelated provisions, which involve local hotel taxes and expansion of an economic development program for small cities. “We have had discussions with the Senate and we feel very positive that the bill will move on as it just came out of rules,” said Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny. He said a final House vote was likely in the next two session days, today or Monday. Senate Republican spokesman Erik Arneson said the caucus will meet and discuss the bill once it’s out of the House. World The Indiana Gazette Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 5 Quebec keeping a watchful eye on Scotland’s vote By BENJAMIN SHINGLER Associated Press MONTREAL — Quebec’s separatists are watching closely this week to see if the Scottish independence movement has learned from their failed attempts to break away from Canada. And it could be rejuvenated if Scotland breaks away from the United Kingdom. The Scottish National Party, which is leading the campaign for Scotland to vote yes in Thursday’s vote on independence, has been advised over the years by separatists in Quebec, a French-speaking province where two referendums on independence failed, though the last “Non” was narrow. Polls suggest the outcome in Scotland will be close. A vote by Scotland to separate from Great Britain could in turn bolster the Parti Quebecois, which has never let its dream of independence die, despite a steep drop in support. Jean-Francois Lisee, a prominent party member, said the two parties have held an open dialogue for years and the PQ now has a large delegation in Scotland studying the separatist campaign there. Members of the Scottish National Party were on hand for Quebec’s last referendum in 1995, which almost resulted in independence: the Yes side lost by a count of 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent. The pro-independence counterparts have kept in contact ever since, and a group of SNP delegates traveled to Quebec as recently as 2011. The Scottish have inquired on how Quebec separatists organized their campaign and planned to acquire international recognition if they won, said Daniel Turp, a senior member of Quebec’s pro-independence forces in 1995. By the time SNP leader Alex Salmond called Scotland’s referendum in 2013, “there was nothing we could have told them that they didn’t know already,” Lisee said. Since then, though, Salmond has tried to distance himself from the PQ ANDREW MILLIGAN/Associated Press LEADING UP TO a vote on Scotland’s independence on Thursday, a generation gap has opened up, with younger voters more inclined to back independence and their elders saying they want to remain with the United Kingdom. leadership. He made a point of not appearing publicly with Pauline Marois, Quebec’s premier at the time, during her visit to Scotland in 2013. The PQ has struggled to drum up interest in another referendum and suffered its worst electoral defeat in decades last spring. A guide to Scotland By PAUL KELBIE Associated Press GLASGOW, Scotland — The people of Scotland will decide on Thursday whether to end a partnership with the rest of the United Kingdom that has lasted more than 300 years. Here is a guide to Scotland as the historic vote nears. ABOUT SCOTLAND Scotland, with little more than 5 million people, is one of the oldest countries in the world, having been united as a single nation by King Kenneth MacAlpin in the year 843. It remained an independent state for more than 800 years until the formation of Great Britain in 1707. When England found itself at war with France in the early 18th century, fears that Scotland would side with the enemy prompted London to block trade and deprive Scots of property they owned south of the border unless they agreed to create a single country. After much debate — and widespread Scottish hostility — both the Scottish and English parliaments were dissolved on May 1, 1707, and replaced with a new British one. Scotland has its own legal system, and the national Church of Scotland was guaranteed under the Act of Union. However, all monetary and finance matters are controlled by the government in London and the Bank of England, which was founded by Scotsman William Paterson in 1694. PARLIAMENT A desire for more autonomy in Scotland led to Westminster holding a referendum in 1997 for the establishment of a devolved Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. The idea was backed by 74.3 percent of the voters and in 1999 the parliament was opened for business by veteran politician Winnie Ewing, who chaired the first meeting, with the words: “The Scottish Parliament adjourned on the 25th day of March in the year 1707 is hereby reconvened.” Members of the Scottish Parliament can legislate on education, health spending, housing, tourism, transport and a few other areas; they have no control over immigration, defense, foreign policy, employment, trade, energy or the main levers of finance. Most of the money used by the Scottish Parliament to finance public services comes from a grant allocated by the United Kingdom government. ECONOMY The U.K. produces more than 75 percent of the European Union’s offshore oil production, of which 90 per- cent is extracted from Scottish waters, according to the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. Based on 2012 figures, the Scottish government says this Scottish oil contributes around 24.4 billion pounds ($39.5 billion) to the U.K. economy. In addition to oil, the Scottish government calculates the country could produce 25 percent of the EU’s offshore wind and tidal energy and 10 percent of the EU’s wave energy. Scottish exports are worth around 100 billion pounds a year to the British Treasury, including more than 11 billion pounds from financial services, along with almost 9 billion pounds from food and drink, including whisky. The two regions are different — Scotland speaks the same language as the rest of Britain, while Quebec has always been apart from the rest of Canada by keeping French as its first tongue.

PATRONS’ MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO. 647 PKLOD6W,QGLDQD www.patronsmutualpa.com bec was 43 words, while the 1980 question was 106. Lecours said the clarity in Scotland was more likely the intent of the British government, which believed a straightforward question would favor the No side. But with opinion polls showing a late surge for independence, that strategy could backfire. Alexandre Cloutier, a PQ member who heads the group that visited Scotland, said he’s amazed by the SNP’s success over the past year. “They have been able to bring the movement to the broader population,” Cloutier said from Edinburgh, where he has gathered with SNP officials several times since 2008. Cloutier said the PQ warned the SNP to expect a No campaign “based on fear” of economic disaster, like the one led by the 1995 No camp in Canada. Lisee said he hopes a victory for Scottish independence could eventually revive interest in another referendum in Quebec.

The Declaration of Arbroath, asserting Scottish independence in 1320, influenced the American Declaration of Independence. A rare copy of the Scottish manuscript was given to the U.S. National Archives by the Scottish government in 2011 in appreciation of the U.S. Senate passing a resolution designating every April 6 as Tartan Day in the United States. nearly 20 years ago, said Andre Lecours, a political science professor at the University of Ottawa. “There are lots of similarities, first in that the Yes campaign has been positive, with the same message, that ‘we’re good enough and big enough, and we can do it,’” said Lecours. “And a bit like the PQ, the Yes Scotland campaign has energized Scottish society and reached people that typically aren’t involved in the political process.” On the other hand, he said the Scots have avoided an often-cited pitfall of the Quebec separatist movement — a lack of clarity about what exactly would happen in the event of a referendum victory. Lecours attributes that to a detailed plan issued by Salmond last year. The referendum question itself — ‘Should Scotland be an independent country?’ — is far more clear than the ones put forward in Quebec during the 1980 and 1995 votes.

L PAUL KRUGMAN Hillary’s ‘steak’ is not well done rior to his annual steak fry, retiring Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said this about Hillary Clinton to Dan Balz of The Washington Post: “She is much more progressive in her thoughts and her inclination than most people may think.” Liberals have embraced the word “progressive” because it sounds more forward-looking than “liberal,” which has a track record voters periodically reject when the ideology doesn’t live up to its declared goals (think Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, John Edwards and Al Gore, among others). There is much we know about Hillary Clinton by whatever label she chooses to wear or hide behind. She has been in the national spotlight for more than two decades and most people have already decided what they think of her. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll indicates the substantial obstacles Mrs. Clinton must overcome should she run for president. Fortyone percent of those polled have a negative view of her; 43 percent have a positive view and just 16 percent are neutral.

CAL THOMAS An indication of how difficult it will be to sell Mrs. Clinton as a competent president comes from a column by Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times, who tries his best to create a positive record for her: “Clinton achieved a great deal and left a hefty legacy — just not the traditional kind. ... For starters, Clinton recognized that our future will be more about Asia than Europe.” This is hardly breaking news. Kristof added: “More fundamentally, Clinton vastly expanded the diplomatic agenda. Diplomats historically focused on ‘hard’ issues, like trade or blowing up stuff, and so it may seem weird and ‘soft’ to fret about women’s rights or economic development.” At a time when our enemies are not just “blowing up stuff,” but beheading journalists and aid workers, “hard issues” are increasingly important. Opponents may wish to ask the same question Mrs. Clinton asked of Barack Obama in 2008. Who do you want to answer that “3 a.m. phone call”?

It is that history that is now catching up with him as his seeming lack of leadership qualities are reflected in his low public opinion ratings. Americans who saw him as the harbinger of change in the first election and with slightly less renewed support in the second have become increasingly disillusioned and untrusting of his follow through. There is a strong suspicion that his decision to move now was influenced at least in part by the need for his party to stave off Republican Senate challenges in the coming election. A total GOP congressional majority would euthanize his presidency two years early. It will be tough sledding for him anyway. At this stage, while there might be questions about whether the maniacs in ISIS are a threat to this nation’s and to the world’s security, as some experts have suggested, there is little doubt that left unchecked they soon would be. Most Americans, no matter how reluctantly, agree with this, the polls show. The beheading of two American journalists and now a British aid worker has punctuated that explicitly. Can Obama put together the coalition, which necessarily must include stable Middle East governments, or has he waited too long? His then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton advised him to step forward on Syria much earlier. He did not do so and the foothold ISIS was able to establish has led to this crisis. The president’s dithering for weeks, even when it seemed obvious this was not just a minor incursion by a few zealots, made him look indecisive. Meanwhile, ISIS has grown from a force of 10,000 butchers to one estimated at 25,000 to 30,000. Had Obama gone to the public earlier, looked the American people in the eye and through clenched teeth not only denounced these monsters but announced that we would do whatever it takes to eliminate them from the earth, his ratings might have shown a return of public trust. Basketball coaches and baseball managers challenge the referees and umpires not because they believe they can overturn a call, but to get their attention. As a sportsman, Obama should have learned that lesson. We needed him to get madder than hell. thomassondan@aol.com How to submit a letter to the editor Share YOUR COMMENTS about today’s viewpoints at indianagazette.com The Indiana Gazette welcomes letters to the editor and will endeavor to print readers’ letters in a timely manner.

The forecast called for Tucson to get slammed with up to 5 inches, while Phoenix was expected to get soaked but with lesser amounts. Residents around the state flocked to fire stations and other locations to get sandbags to place around their homes as protection against floodwaters. Many experienced flooding last week after the remnants of Hurricane Norbert swamped parts of Phoenix and Tucson. The singleday rainfall totals in Phoenix eclipsed the average total precipitation for the entire summer. Respiratory illness seen in 12 states NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials say 12 states now have respiratory illnesses caused by an uncommon virus — enterovirus 68. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials say Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania together have 130 lab-confirmed cases. All are children. The virus can cause mild to severe illness, with the worst cases needing life support for breathing difficulties. Kids with asthma have been especially vulnerable. No deaths have been reported. The strain is not new but only a small number of labs can test for it. Since mid-August, there’s been an unusual spike in identified cases. The CDC has tested more than 200 specimens from more than 30 states. Investigators say it’s not yet clear what triggered the outbreak or whether it’s worsening. Pope approves canonization VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has signed off on Sri Lanka’s first saint, bending Vatican rules to bypass confirmation of a miracle. Francis is expected to canonize the Rev. Giuseppe Baz, a 17th century missionary, during his January visit to Sri Lanka. Baz was born in India in 1651 but chose to work in Sri Lanka amid persecution of Catholics by Dutch colonial rulers, who were Calvinists. He is credited with having revived the Catholic faith in Sri Lanka. The Vatican said today that Francis approved the decision by the Vatican’s saint-making office. The process was the same Francis used to canonize St. John XXIII without a second miracle attributed to his intercession. Francis has waived Vatican saint-making rules on several occasions and has promised to give Asia more saints. Australia pledges to aid Ebola fight CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia announced today that it will immediately provide an additional $6.4 million to help the international response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The country had previously committed almost $1 million to the international response to the viral disease outbreak that has killed at least 2,400 people. The World Health Organization says the death toll from Ebola could rise to more than 20,000. There have been no cases of Ebola in Australia, and health authorities rate the risk of an outbreak in the island continent as low. By HILARY STOUT and AARON M. KESSLER New York Times News Service SCOTT APPLEWHITE/Associated Press MEMBERS OF THE anti-war activist group CodePink interrupted a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, left, and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Lawmakers to vote on arming Syrian rebels By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press WASHINGTON — Wary House lawmakers are on track to give President Barack Obama authority to order U.S. military training and arms for moderate rebels confronting the growing danger of Islamic State militants. Obama was likely to get his wish in a vote today despite worries from hawks in both parties that his response was insufficient to battle terrorists who have overrun wide swaths of Iraq and Syria. “If we want to open a front against (Islamic State forces) in Syria, we have to open a front. And I don’t see any other way to do it than try to build an alternative force,” said Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. “No one’s excited about it but, you know, it’s the best from a series of bad options.” Republican leaders have swung behind Obama’s request, though they’re not pressuring the GOP rank and file to follow suit. Top Democrats promised the measure would pass. “I think there’s a lot more that we need to be doing, but there’s no reason for us not to do what the president asked us to do,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California also supports the mission, as does Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. The measure would send U.S. military trainers to Saudi Arabia to arm and train Syrian opponents of Islamic State militants, who have routed U.S.-trained Iraqi security forces repeatedly and threaten the viability of the government in Baghdad. Obama has also vowed to use air power to strike Islamic State militants but has maintained repeatedly that American forces will not have a renewed ground combat mission in Iraq in this new phase of a long battle against terrorists. “I wish that we were doing more, but this is the only option that we’ve been given,” Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, said. “And we must at least do this.” But in a Senate hearing, the nation’s top military officer said U.S. ground troops may be needed to battle the Islamic State group in the Middle East if Obama’s strate- gy fails. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that if Obama’s current approach isn’t enough to prevail, he might “go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of ground forces.” That drew a prompt, polite rebuttal from the White House. Obama “will not deploy ground troops in a combat role into Iraq or Syria,” spokesman Josh Earnest said. After the hearing, Dempsey told reporters traveling with him to Paris that about half of Iraq’s army is incapable of partnering effectively with the U.S. to roll back the Islamic State group’s territorial gains in western and northern Iraq, and the other half needs to be partially rebuilt with U.S. training and additional equipment. The new authority for Obama’s plan would be added to a spending bill that’s needed to keep the government running into December and avoid a politically damaging repeat of last year’s partial shutdown of government agencies.

Sony forecasts $2 billion loss By ELAINE KURTENBACH AP Business Writer RICH PEDRONCELLI/Associated Press Foundation awards ‘genius grants’ CHICAGO (AP) — A professor whose research is helping a California police department improve its strained relationship with the black community and a lawyer who advocates for victims of domestic abuse are among the 21 winners of this year’s MacArthur Foundation “genius grants.” The Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announced today the 2014 recipients, who will each receive $625,000 to spend any way they like. The professor and lawyer, part of an eclectic group that includes scientists, mathematicians, historians, a cartoonist and a composer, are among several recipients whose work involves topics that have dominated the news in the past year. “I think getting this (grant) speaks to people’s sense that this is the kind of work that needs to be WASHINGTON — The nation’s top auto regulator faced withering criticism across Capitol Hill on Tuesday about its failure to identify a deadly defect in General Motors cars — even as its top official tried again and again to shift the blame back to the automaker. Hours after a House committee released a scathing report about the agency’s yearslong failure to spot the ignition-stalling defect that has now been linked to 19 deaths, a Senate subcommittee hearing turned angry and tense. Lawmakers from both parties accused the agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DAVID FRIEDMAN of overlooking ... deputy administrator evidence that could have saved lives and of deferring to the auto industry rather than standing up to it. The agency was “more interested in singing ‘Kumbaya’ with the manufacturers than being a cop on the beat,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. and the subcommittee’s chairwoman, in sharp questioning reminiscent of her interrogation of GM’s chief executive, Mary T. Barra, in a hearing before the same panel in the spring. David Friedman, deputy administrator of the agency who serves as its de facto head, gave little ground in contending that its failings were largely the result of uncooperative automakers, as in the case of GM, which he said had illegally withheld critical information from the agency. “NHTSA was actively trying to find the ball,” he said. “GM was actively trying to hide the ball.” Even as senators agreed that GM was mostly at fault, they took aim at Friedman, saying that the agency failed to use its full authority over automakers and that it did not figure out defect trends that consumers themselves had alerted the agency to. “You want to obfuscate responsibility, rather than take responsibility,” McCaskill said, her voice rising. The tone was markedly different from the last time Friedman appeared on Capitol Hill to discuss the agency’s role in the GM ignition switch. Then, in early April, nearly all the fire was directed at Barra for the company’s decadelong failure to recall 2.6 million cars for the ignitionswitch problem. Since then, GM has faced more than 100 lawsuits and a half-dozen civil and criminal investigations, as well as a $35 million fine from the safety agency for not reporting the defect in a timely manner. done,” said recipient Jennifer Eberhardt, a Stanford University social psychologist who has researched racial stereotypes and crime. Her work prompted the Oakland, Calif., police department to ask for her help studying racial biases among its officers and how those biases play out on the street — topics that have been debated nationally in the wake of the police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old in Missouri. Eberhardt is also studying the use of body cameras by police. The justice system is also at the heart of Sarah Deer’s work as a legal scholar and advocate for Native American women living on reservations, who suffer higher-thanaverage rates of domestic abuse and sexual violence. Deer, a Native American who teaches law in Minnesota, met with women who simply stopped reporting such attacks because their tribal governments had been stripped of the authority to investigate and because federal authorities were often unwilling to do so, she said. The foundation pointed to her instrumental role in reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act by Congress in 2013 that restored some of those abilities to tribes. Like Deer, fellow recipient Jonathan Rapping has worked to improve the lives of others. A former public defender, Rapping founded Gideon’s Promise after seeing a legal system that he said valued speed over quality representation of the indigent. The organization trains, mentors and assist public defenders to help them withstand the intense pressure that can come with massive caseloads. Today, the program that began in 2007 for 16 attorneys in two offices in Georgia and Louisiana has more than 300 participants in 15 states. TOKYO — Sony expects its annual loss to swell to more than $2 billion after writing down the value of its troubled mobile business as phone sales were battered by brutal competition. The Japanese electronics and entertainment conglomerate said today it anticipates a net loss of $2.15 billion for the fiscal year that ends March 31. Its previous forecast was for a $466 million net loss. Sony has been trying to reshape its business after years of red ink. It said the bigger loss stems from a lower valuation of its mobile phone business due to weak sales. The company is recording an “impairment charge” of $1.7 billion in the July-September quarter. The impairment charge is purely an adjustment to the company’s balance sheet, involving no cash, but it reflects that the mobile business is far less valuable and will generate lower profits than previously thought. Sony said it revised its mobile communications business strategy to reduce risks and stabilize profits in light of “significant change in the market and competitive environment of the mobile business.” It plans to concentrate on its “premium lineup” of smartphones and reduce the number of mid-range models. Sony plans three Xperia Z3 smartphone and tablet models, with its signature waterproof capabilities, for this fall. For the first time, one of the phones will be available in the U.S., through T-Mobile, at about the same time as the rest of the world, rather than months later. Sony today left its full-year sales forecast unchanged at $72.8 billion. It said it won’t pay a dividend to shareholders for the first half or full year. Nation Page 8 — Wednesday, September 17, 2014 Two companies win contracts from NASA By KENNETH CHANG New York Times News Service Boeing and the Space Exploration Technologies Corp. are the winners in the competition to carry Americans astronauts to the International Space Station, NASA announced Tuesday. The awards reflect a fundamental shift in NASA’s human spaceflight program, relying on private companies rather than the traditional hands-on approach, in which the space agency designed and operated the spacecraft. The first flights could take off as soon as 2017. “We have credible plans for both companies to get there by that period of time,” Kathryn Lueders, the manager for NASA’s commercial crew program, said during a news conference on Tuesday. “We will not sacrifice crew safety for that goal.” Boeing received a $4.2 billion contract. Space Exploration Technologies — better known as SpaceX, of Hawthorne, Calif. — received a $2.6 billion contract. “Today we’re one step closer to launching our astronauts from U.S. soil on American spacecraft and ending the nation’s sole reliance on Russia,” said Charles F. Bolden Jr., the NASA administrator. Since the retirement of the space shuttles in 2011, NASA has had no way to send its astronauts to orbit, relying on the venerable Russian Soyuz spacecraft for transportation to and from the International Space Station at a cost of $70 million per seat. That became a politically uncomfortable arrangement after Russia’s annexation of Crimea and support of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine. John Mulholland, the commercial crew manager at Boeing, said NASA called just before the news conference to tell him his company had won the competition. “It was a real mixture of inspiration and humbleness,” he said. Under the contracts, Boeing and SpaceX will finish development of their spacecraft. Boeing’s CST-100 capsule, configured to carry up to five people, will launch on an Atlas 5 rocket. SpaceX’s Dragon 2 capsule, a sleeker, updated version of the capsule already carrying cargo to the space station, will ride on top of the company’s Falcon 9 rocket. The hope is that the commercial approach will spur a space travel industry far larger than just NASA. Boeing, for example, hopes that the fifth seat in its CST-100 capsule could carry a paying tourist to the space station. The Indiana Gazette Census shows first decline in poverty rate since 2006 By ROBERT PEAR New York Times News Service WASHINGTON — The poverty rate declined last year for the first time since 2006, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. But at the same time, it said, there was no statistically significant change in the number of poor people or in income for the typical U.S. household. The report showed significant improvements for children. The poverty rate for children under 18 declined last year for the first time since 2000, the bureau said, and the number of children in poverty fell by 1.4 million, to 14.7 million. Overall, the bureau said, 14.5 percent of Americans were living in poverty last year, down from 15 percent in 2012. Charles T. Nelson, a Census Bureau official, said the decline in the poverty rate resulted partly from an increase in the number of people working full time yearround. In particular, he said, the numbers show an increase in employment and earnings for parents with dependent children. The bureau estimated that 45.3 million people were living below the poverty level in 2013. This did not represent a statistically significant change from the estimate for 2012, the bureau said in its annual report on income and poverty. Poverty thresholds vary with the size and composition of a family. A family of four was classified as poor if it had income less than $23,830 last year; for one person, the threshold was $11,890. The official poverty levels are updated each year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index. The income figures do not reflect the value of non-cash benefits like food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare and public housing. Nor do they include capital gains or the effects of taxes and tax credits. Median household income in the U.S. was $51,940 last year, the bureau said. This was not statistically different from median income in 2012, after adjustment for inflation. The number of households with income above the median is the same as the number below it. Many households have not regained the purchasing power they had before the recession that began in December 2007. By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House Select Committee on Benghazi gets its public debut today, two years after militants in the eastern Libyan city killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, and four months after Republicans launched their special investigation. The panel is using its first open hearing to focus on what the Obama administration has done since the Sept. 11, 2012, attack to improve security at U.S. embassies and other diplomatic missions around the world. The State Department’s chief of diplomatic security was to be the committee’s first witness. It was unclear whether the big allegations that prompted the probe will be examined — that U.S. forces were directed not to respond and that administration officials lied about the nature of the attack. “This is truly an effort to do fact-finding,” Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas, one of seven Republicans on the 12- member committee, said in a telephone interview, stressing the thoroughness of the investigation, not its urgency. “Much of the work we’re going to do won’t be in hearings like we’re having this week.” On the surface, the hearing should be noncontroversial. It will center on the State Department’s implementation of an independent review board’s recommendations to correct “systemic failures” that led to grossly inadequate security in Benghazi. The department endorsed the recommendations and there is little disagreement between congressional Democrats and Republicans about them. But on almost everything else related to Benghazi — interpretations of what happened before, during and after the attack — a far greater partisan divide prevails. Republicans have issued a range of accusations, from the military holding back assets that could have saved American lives to President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Rod- Underage Underage D Drinking rinking Laws, Laws, Parents, P arents, Do Do You You o Know: Know : t is illegal to host or allow teen drinking parties, even in your own home, even with their parents permission.

All you have to do is buy a pound cake and garnish it with layers of raspberries, jam and whipped cream. You can even prepare it the day before. That’s real magic. For something less sweet than the trifle, just-out-of-the-oven rock cakes will delight your guests. When you get to Hogwarts, Hagrid is sure to offer you his special recipe for these treats. (Refuse.) This recipe is much closer to the teatime cakes that Mrs. Weasley might serve at the Burrow. Similar Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times Harry Potter fans, the wait is over. Diagon Alley is open at Universal Orlando, which means it’s time to celebrate with a party featuring some of Harry’s favorite foods. Say goodbye to those measly Muggle salads and smoothies. Embrace the Hogwarts diet: an overload of sweets and the quintessential butterbeer. New students at Hogwarts are always awed by the desserts that materialize in the massive dining hall ? everything from apple pies to treacle tarts to trifles. Your menu is be a mini version of the Hogwarts spread. If your guests wonder why there aren’t more treats, remind them you made these all by yourself with absolutely no help from your house elf. Start with an elegant trifle, like the one Harry tasted on his first evening at Hogwarts. to a scone, they go perfectly with a steaming cup of English breakfast tea.

And when you consider the classic approach to this dish, it’s hard to argue. Tasteless ground beef mixed with white rice and some sort of tomato product? Not particularly exciting. So we decided to create a version with plenty more appeal. We started by ditching the ground beef in favor of chicken, then replaced the flavorless white rice with the more robust japonica, a colorful Japanese variety. Now add shiitake mushrooms, fresh herbs and goat cheese, and you’ve got a stuffed pepper worth getting excited about. JAPONICA, SHIITAKE AND CHICKEN STUFFED PEPPERS Start to finish: 1 hour The Associated Press STUFFED PEPPERS are ready in an hour. Servings: 6 6 large red bell peppers 1 cup japonica rice 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons butter 5 ounces shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced Kosher salt and ground black pepper ¼ cup chopped shallots 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 ribs celery, diced 1 small yellow onion, diced 2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken 2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or oregano 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Slice ½ inch off the top of each pepper, then scoop out and discard any seeds and ribs. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 35 to 45 minutes, or until all the broth is absorbed. While the rice cooks, in a large skillet over medium-high, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until most of the water has been released from the mushroom and has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, celery and onion and continue to cook until the onion and celery are tender, another 5 to 6 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the rice, mushroom mixture, chicken, marjoram and goat cheese. Season with salt and black pepper. Spoon the mixture into the peppers and place in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Pepin starts final series By MICHELE KAYAL Associated Press Jacques Pepin soon will begin production on what his longtime television network is calling his final cooking series, but the chef who has taught generations of Americans to cook says he’s far from retiring. KQED Public Television, the San Francisco-based station that has produced more than a dozen of Pepin’s popular cooking series over the last quarter century, said in a recent release that it will begin recording Pepin’s final series in October. Called “Jacques Pepin: Heart and Soul,” the 26episode series will offer a retrospective of sorts, draw- ing on the chef’s 60 years in the kitchen, as well as past episodes he has recorded. Pepin, JACQUES PEPIN who ... cooking icon turns 80 next year, said the intensity of the production schedule and the need to produce a cookbook with each series has become too much. But he stressed that he is not retiring. “Julia never retired,” he says, referring to his longtime friend and fellow television cooking icon Julia Child. He is simply cutting back. “C’mon, I’m not too young,” Pepin said during a telephone interview from his Madison, Conn., home. He said he isn’t giving up television, but he is no longer interested in doing shows on the scale of his current project. Pepin, along with Child, helped shape American culinary culture. He said he will continue to teach classes at Boston University and in New York. He also will continue his frequent guest appearances on cooking shows, such as Rachael Ray’s series and ABC’s “The Chew.” Pepin said he was surprised by the stir word of his final series has caused. The Associated Press CARAMEL ICING tops Pumpkin Cinnamon Buns. Wrap pumpkin pie in a cinnamon bun By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press A pumpkin pie. Rolled up in a cinnamon bun. Do we have your attention yet? That’s right. ... We took our autumn baking to a delicious new level by combining two classics, then topping them with an intensely good homemade caramel sauce spiked with flaked sea salt for added oomph and to contrast to all that sweetness. When slicing the log of dough into individual buns, a serrated knife works well. You also can use unflavored, unwaxed dental floss (or heavy thread). To do this, hold a length of floss (about 15 inches or so) by both ends. Slide the floss under the log and move it down to where you would make the first cut. Now lift both ends up over the dough log and pull in opposite directions across the log to slice through. Repeat with the remaining rolls. SALTED CARAMEL PUMPKIN BUNS Start to finish: 1½ hours (30 minutes active) Servings: 12 For the dough: 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1½ cups milk, warmed slightly 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon instant yeast ½ teaspoon ground cardamom For the filling: 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/3 cup canned pumpkin 1 egg white ½ teaspoon ground dry ginger ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon cinnamon For the glaze: 3 tablespoons butter 1¼ cups packed dark brown sugar ½ cup light cream 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste ½ teaspoon flake sea salt To prepare the dough, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all ingredients and mix on low until the dough is soft and elastic, about 8 minutes. Alternatively, the dough can be mixed by hand. If so, in a large bowl combine all ingredients but start with 2 cups of the flour, then slowly work in the remaining 2 cups as the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead several times. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes. Once the dough has rested, use a rolling pin to roll it out into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. If the dough shrinks back, allow it to rest a little longer before continuing. Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Alterna- tively, line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment and coat with cooking spray. To prepare the filling, in a medium bowl use an electric mixer beat together the cream cheese, pumpkin, egg white, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the rolled out dough going all the way to the edge except on one long side (leave 1 inch of that long side bare). Starting with that side, roll up the dough into a log like a jelly roll, pinching the sides to seal. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rounds. Arrange the rounds in the prepared pan. If using the 9-by-13inch pan, the buns will touch. If using a baking sheet, the buns can be spread out (and will cook slightly faster). Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until slightly puffy, about 20 minutes. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the buns reach an internal temperature of 190 F. While the buns bake, make the glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, cream and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla bean paste and salt. When the buns are cooked, immediately drizzle all over with the caramel. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Nation The Indiana Gazette Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 11 Red tide threat to Florida economy House bill prevents welfare for weed By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press By JASON DEAREN Associated Press CLEARWATER, Fla. — It’s like Florida’s version of The Blob. Slow moving glops of toxic algae in the northeast Gulf of Mexico are killing sea turtles, sharks and fish, and threatening the waters and beaches that fuel the region’s economy. Known as “red tide,” this particular strain called Karenia brevis is present nearly every year off Florida, but large blooms can be particularly devastating. Right now, the algae is collecting in an area about 60 miles wide and 100 miles long, about 5 to 15 miles off St. Petersburg in the south and stretching north to Florida’s Big Bend, where the peninsula ends and the Panhandle begins. Fishermen who make a living off the state’s northwest coast are reporting fish kills and reddish water. “It boils up in the propeller wash like boiled red Georgia clay. It’s spooky,” said Clearwater fisherman Brad Gorst as he steered the charter fishing boat Gulfstream 2 in waters near Honeymoon Island, where dead fish recently washed ashore. Red tide kills fish, manatees and other marine life by releasing a toxin that paralyzes their central nervous system. The algae also foul beaches and can be harmful to people who inhale the algae’s toxins when winds blow onshore or by crashing waves, particularly those with asthma and other respiratory ailments. In 2005, a strong red tide killed reefs, made beaches PAUL LAMISON/Associated Press AN ALGAE BLOOM is shown off the shore of Coquina Beach, Fla. in 2006.

A weaker red tide in 2013 killed 276 manatees, state records show, after infecting the grasses eaten by the endangered creatures. “This red tide ... will likely cause considerable damage to our local fisheries and our tourist economy over the next few months,” said Heyward Mathews, an emeritus professor of oceanography at St. Petersburg College who has studied the issue for decades. Despite years of study, there’s nothing anyone has been able to do about it. In the 1950s, wildlife officials tried killing the red tide algae by dumping copper sulfate on it, which made the problem worse in some ways. But some researchers are working to change that. Predicting when red tides are going to be especially bad can help fishermen and beach businesses prepare.

Weisberg is one among a team of researchers developing a prediction model based on ocean currents data, rather than satellite images.

Anew Home Health Agency Mon-Fri 8:30 AM-3:30 PM Open to the Public EŽZĞƐĞƌǀĂƟŽŶEĞĞĚĞĚ WASHINGTON — The House passed a bill Tuesday night that could make it a little harder for people to use government welfare payments to buy marijuana in states where the drug is legal. Supporters call it the “no welfare for weed” bill. The bill would prevent people from using government-issued welfare debit cards to make purchases at stores that sell marijuana. It would also prohibit people from using the cards to withdraw cash from ATMs in those stores. A 2012 federal law already prevents people from using welfare debit cards at liquor stores, casinos and strip clubs. Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., is the main sponsor of the bill. He said it is a logical extension of existing law now that Washington state and Colorado have legalized marijuana for recre- ational use. “The fact that some people are using welfare for weed is outrageous,” Reichert said in a statement. “While some may decide to spend their own money on drugs, we’re not going to give them a taxpayer subsidy to do it.” The House passed the bill on a voice vote, which does not require lawmakers to cast a recorded vote. The reach of the bill would be limited, however, because pot smokers could still use their benefit cards to get cash from an ATM at a different store or bank, and then use the money to buy marijuana. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, said he supported the bill. But he complained that it “does nothing to address the tattered safety net.” “Why not prevent people from using benefit cards at massage parlors and Cadillac dealerships?” Doggett said. “Just blame the poor for being poor.” SALES/SERVICE ALL BRANDS OF DOORS & OPENERS ALL ST2 R MADE IN THE USA Locally Owned & Operated by Robin Malcolm – PA#9315 GARAGE DOOR 724.479.8687 Indiana Mall Sept. 23 Only ϴDͲϭϮWDĂŶĚϰWDͲϲWD We Bill Insurance $20 Cash ƵƚŽƵƚƚŚŝƐĂĚ ĂŶĚƌĞĐĞŝǀĞ ϭϯϴϬZŽƵƚĞϮϴϲ,ǁLJ ƵŝůĚŝŶŐϮ͕/ŶĚŝĂŶĂ͕W ϳϮϰ͘ϰϲϱ͘ϵϮϮϰ Buy 1 Get 2 FREE 10% OFF ǁŚŝůĞƐƵƉƉůŝĞƐůĂƐƚ͘ 2 29 2 Attention Employers! 69 290 GRANT STREET, INDIANA Douglas M.

Calling him “extremely dangerous,” Noonan said Frein has a long-standing grudge against law enforcement. “He has made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and also to commit mass acts of murder,” Noonan said. “What his reasons are, we don’t know. But he has very strong feelings about law enforcement and seems to be very angry with a lot of things that go on in our society.” Frein was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder, homicide of a law enforcement officer and other offenses. “We have no idea where he is,” Noonan said. Police found a U.S. Army manual called “Sniper Training and Employment” in the suspect’s bedroom at his parents’ house, and his father, a retired Army major, told authorities that his son is an excellent marksman who “doesn’t miss,” according to a police affidavit released Tuesday. Frein has held anti-law enforcement views for many years and has expressed them both online and to people who knew him, Lt. Col. George Bivens said. “This was not unexpected,” Bivens said. “As we’ve interviewed a number of people, that’s been the common theme. This was not a surprise.” Frein’s father, Michael Frein, who spent 28 years in the Army, told police that two weapons were missing from the home — an AK-47 and a .308-caliber rifle with a scope, according to the police affidavit. Lars Prillaman, who manages a small farm in West Virginia, said he knew Frein very briefly from their time as mil- itary re-enactors. He told The Associated Press he was “saddened by what happened” and said Frein was “a different person eight years ago.” Court documents filed Tuesday revealed new details about the ambush. According to the documents, Cpl. Bryon Dickson was shot as soon as he walked out the front door of the barracks. A communications officer heard the shot, saw Dickson on the ground and asked him what had happened. Dickson told her he’d been hit and asked her to bring him inside, but the gunman had squeezed off another round, forcing his would-be rescuer inside. Trooper Alex Douglass, meanwhile, had just arrived at the barracks and was shot in the pelvis as he walked toward Dickson. Douglass managed to crawl into the lobby, where another trooper brought him into a secure area of the barracks. Douglass later underwent surgery at a hospital. Other troopers drove a patrol SUV into the parking lot and used it as a shield so they could drag Dickson into the barracks and begin attempts to save his life. He died at the scene. A coroner said he had been shot twice. About 90 seconds elapsed between the first shot and the fourth and final one. With the gunman still on the loose, residents near Frein’s house were jittery. Rich Turner, 52, who lives around the corner, said school buses avoided the neighborhood Tuesday, with parents directed to take their kids to school and to pick them up. Schools in the Pocono Mountain School District will be closed today. “Everybody’s wondering if he’s still out there. Everyone’s on edge, to a degree,” said Turner. Associated Press writer Sean Carlin in Philadelphia contributed to this report. Response mixed on arming teachers Continued from Page 1 people” as a solution to such a complex problem. “We think a bullet and a gun is going to solve that, and I frankly think that’s an overreach for a very complicated layer of issues that we wrap up in the murder of a child,” he said. Sen. Andrew Dinniman, DChester, said all options should be considered. “I think all of us are searching ... for a way to protect our young people, searching for a way to come up with the best solution,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anyone who can say this is the only way.” The measure would authorize the state’s 500 school boards to permit teachers, administrators and other staff members to arm themselves to protect students. They would have to be licensed to carry a concealed weapon and trained in the use of firearms. Eighteen states now allow school employees to have guns in schools, said Sen. Mike Folmer, the committee’s chairman. The Pennsylvania School Boards Association said it preferred not to take a position on the bill, at least in part because of the public debate over the role of guns. “There are great differences of opinion about whether increasing the presence of firearms in schools is a wise or effective approach for enhancing school security,” said Stuart Knade, the group’s general counsel. “That is not a debate in which it is necessary or productive for PSBA to take a position, and it would be difficult for PSBA to take a position on (the bill) without being perceived as jumping into that other debate.” Suspect charged in weekend stabbing Continued from Page 1 handed Rivera’s passport to the judge. Online records today show Rivera is no longer listed as a student at IUP. In a criminal complaint, Indiana Borough detective John Scherf reported that Rivera slashed and stabbed Brown at 5:45 p.m. Sunday while Brown stood at the driver’s-side window of a car on a driveway near the entrance to Monro Muffler & Brake Service, 1336 Oakland Ave. Rivera, who was in the back seat of the car, was implicated by the driver and frontseat passenger, Scherf reported. Brown ran from the car, bleeding profusely from wounds to his upper left arm, according to police, and was sent to Indiana Regional Medical Center for initial treatment. From there, Brown was flown to Allegheny General Hospital for surgery, and was listed in good condition there this morning. According to the charging documents, witnesses at the scene provided the car’s registration plate number, and officers traced it to Ebnell Barnett, an IUP student from Phoenixville, Chester County. The university’s online records today show no student listing for Barnett. A state police trooper involved in the investigation located the car about 9 p.m. Sunday in a parking lot at 557 Carter Ave., and officers found fresh blood inside the driver’s side door, according to the complaint. Barnett told police that Rivera pulled a knife and stabbed Brown, and directed police to Devin Peak, the front-seat passenger in the car. Peak, an IUP student enrolled in the Eberly College of Business, also identified Rivera as the attacker when police interviewed him shortly before midnight Sunday, according to police. Scherf reported he contacted Rivera by phone around noon Monday. While court papers don’t indicate whether Rivera admitted to stabbing Brown, the complaint shows Rivera directed police to a gravel alley near Barnett’s residence, where officers found a folding knife with blood on the blade. The knife had a red handle, and Rivera told police it had been purchased at Lowe’s. At the brief court appearance Tuesday, Haberl allowed Rivera to remain free on unsecured bond of $50,000 and ordered him to return for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 2. License denial affirmed Continued from Page 1 fare of the community, and council denied Reilly’s request on a 10-2 vote. The PLCB requires a resolution from the gaining municipality if a license transfer is approved, and borough manager William Sutton told council Tuesday that borough solicitor Neva Stanger recommended that a resolution also be adopted formalizing council’s vote last month to deny the request for the transfer. Council Tuesday also reviewed what were described as proposed “housekeeping” amendments to five ordinances that will be considered for advertising at October’s meeting. One amendment will remove outdated references to floodway zones in the borough, and Councilman John Hartman again recommended that before property owners buy expensive flood insurance they should consider having a surveyor verify that their property really is in a designated flood zone. Another proposed amendment will clarify the responsibilities and authorities of the borough planning department director, a position created in May. Under the amendment, the planning and zoning department will have the power to act on issues involving minor construction developments. It will be the responsibility of the planning and zoning department, with assistance from the borough’s planning commission, to review large developments, with council taking back the right of final approval for large developments. KAYLA GRUBE/Gazette OLIVER KILEY, with consultant SmithGroupJJR, spoke at the design workshop Tuesday at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex in White Township. Planning group drafts vision of future Continued from Page 1 The workshop was hosted Jeff Raykes of the Indiana County Office of Planning and Development and SmithGroupJJR, an architectural and engineering firm based in Ann Arbor, Mich. Representing the firm was Hillary Hanzel, Oliver Kiley and Todd Poole. Over the next five months SmithGroupJJR will be compiling the ideas and returning to Indiana for more feedback. Earlier Tuesday, the three representatives of SmithGroupJJR, local officials and planners took a walking tour of different parts of the university district. Their goal was to help the architects get a feel for the community and see firsthand improvements that could be made from the perspective of a pedestrian. The presentation Tuesday night was an overview of the project and a market analysis of the area. Poole, a land use economist, identified some trends in the area. Poole looked at the area that spans 15 minutes in all directions from the IUP campus, saying that people don’t move through an area based on municipal boundaries but by how long it takes them to get somewhere. Poole said the population is flat (steady, possibly declining economically), but that incomes are rising rap- idly in medical services, high-tech and education. He also said that vacancy rates are low, most likely due to the student population. “However, we find that, in general, affordable housing is plentiful based on the pricing that we’ve seen,” Poole said. “We find that affordable housing in inextricably linked to good economic fundamentals. If you have an expensive housing market, that puts pressure on businesses to make payroll and pay people what they need to live in the area.” Poole also analyzed commercial spending for the area. He said generally people in the area spend less than the national average. “We note that household incomes in this area are generally strong and that there’s probably a lot of discretionary income leaking out of the area.” He said there was economic opportunity through investment from the private sector to supply people with the kinds of places where they want to shop. After the presentation, the audience got busy with maps located at each of the nine tables. They were given stickers and markers in three different colors to mark areas of importance: blue for enhance, green for preserve and red for transform. After about half an hour the group sessions broke up for a debriefing and each table took turns talking about their maps. No one area caught more red dots than the South Seventh Street and Wayne Avenue corridor, which culminates in the six-way intersection at South Seventh and Locust streets. The chief complaint was that, as a pedestrian or biker, the intersection is difficult to safely navigate. Other complaints for that area included “decayed housing” and complaints about the scrap yard farther down Wayne Avenue. Another frequent complaint was the lack of sidewalks along Oakland Avenue after it crosses Rose Street and Warren Road. Students and residents who live in that direction said they felt isolated from other areas of town. Pedestrian problems were pointed out in many areas of town. People expressed concern that often areas don’t transition well into each other. Examples were crossing over Sixth Street or getting from the KCAC to Mack Park. There were strong advocates for bike-friendly roads and trails. Some said they don’t feel comfortable biking along major routes and it makes them feel isolated. One student remarked that he, like many, does not have a car at school and depends solely on his bike for transportation. Once again, there was a call to better connect the Hoodlebug Trail to other parts of town. The Eighth Street corridor also got a lot of attention. Some thought the street was underused for such an important connection between campus and downtown. Housing was another concern. Poole said that if there are not enough smaller homes for the area’s aging population. This creates a “traffic jam” for younger people who may want to buy a larger house in order to raise a family. One of the most popular ideas was a dog park within the borough. Other green spaces were also important to several of the tables, with green preservation dots on spaces such as Mack Park, White’s Woods and the Oak Grove. As for the financing of any ideas that come out of the project, Kiley said, “It remains to be seen.” Kiley said the local market is going to determine the value for land and other resources. On the public side, the financial capability of municipalities will have to be evaluated. The first of three large charrettes (periods of collaborative design planning) is set for Oct. 28-30. Saudi clerics issue edict against terrorism By ABDULLAH AL-SHIHRI Associated Press RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia’s highest body of religious scholars issued a stern ruling today calling terrorism a “heinous crime” and saying perpetrators including Islamic State militants deserve punishment in line with Islamic law. The Council of Senior Religious Scholars said in its fatwa, or religious edict, that it backs the kingdom’s efforts to track down and punish followers of the Islamic State group and al-Qaida. The clerics are appointed by the government and are seen as guardians of the kingdom’s ultraconservative Wahhabi school of Islam. The statement by the group of 21 scholars underpins the kingdom’s broader efforts to deter citizens from joining extremist groups that want to bring down the Westernallied monarchy. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Saudi Arabia last week and won support from the kingdom and other Arab allies to help fight the Islamic State militants who have seized large parts of Iraq and Syria. A State Department official told reporters ahead of the visit that Kerry planned to ask Mideast countries to encourage government-controlled media and members of the religious establishment to speak out against extremism. The edict highlights the historically close relationship between the Wahhabi establishment in Saudi Arabia and the kingdom’s rulers, and gives religious backing to the Saudi king’s efforts to fight the Islamic State as part of an international coalition. The council is the only official authority in Saudi Arabia allowed to issue religious edicts concerning questions about how citizens should live their lives The council’s condemnations extended to others the Saudi government opposes as well, including the Shiite Hawthi rebel group in Yemen and Saudi Hezbollah, a Shiite militant movement that was engaged in attacks in the kingdom in the 1980s and 1990s. It also criticized what it called “crimes of terrorism practiced by the Israeli occupation.” The scholars said authorities have to track down instigators of conflict and financiers of terrorism because they commit “one of the greatest sins” which is “disobeying the ruler.” They said they support the government’s decision to prohibit citizens from fighting in conflicts abroad. Though the council did not recommend specific punishments, it is considered a religious sin and a criminal act in Saudi Arabia to rebel against the king, who oversees Islam’s two holiest sites in Mecca and Medina. To help back up its religious ruling, the council referred to words of the Prophet Muhammad, who warned against following those who want to divide the nation. “This is a warning to the advocates of division, strife and sedition, and a warning to those who followed them from going too far in order to avoid the punishment of torment in this world and the hereafter,” the statement said. Indiana Gazette The Sports Gazette Classifieds inside Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 13 HIGH SCHOOL BOYS’ SOCCER: Indiana 4, Southmoreland 0 Maturing Indians stay unbeaten By MIRZA ZUKIC moz@indianagazette.net KAYLA GRUBE/Gazette INDIANA’S GARRETT STRITTMATTER (12) looked to pass the ball late in Tuesday’s game against Southmoreland. For the Indiana boys’ soccer team, it doesn’t seem to be a question of if the goals will come, but rather when they’ll come. Take for example Tuesday’s game, when the Indians swarmed the Southmoreland goal for the first 35 minutes of the game with nothing to show for it before finally put- ting one in the back of the net in the closing minutes of the first half. That opened the floodgates and started a four-goal spree in a 16-minute period spanning the two halves as the Indians rolled over the Scotties, 40, in a WPIAL Section 1-AA game at Andy Kuzneski Field. Indiana moved to 8-0 (4-0 section), three games better than the previous best start in school history, and the Indians aren’t ready to see it end yet. “We knew we were going to have a strong team,” senior Cole Rosenberger said. “I don’t know if I ever would have thought 80, but I never counted my guys out. … Once we got to five (wins), and Coach Myers let us know that 5-0 was the record, we just had to win one more. Every game … when we go on the field, we say 1, 2, 3, and then whatever number we’re about to get so that’s definitely in our minds, keeping that going.” “I had no idea since it was my freshman year, and I didn’t know what my teammates’ expectations were, but I’m very happy,” freshman midfielder Eddie Chandler said.

However, the Pittsburgh righthander exceeded his manager’s expectations as he came off the disabled list to gain his first victory since July 2, and the Pirates beat the Boston Red Sox 4-0 on Tuesday night for their ninth win in 11 games. “I just wanted to go out and give what I got,” Morton said. “I didn’t know what was going to happen. I’m glad with the way it turned out.” Sidelined since Aug. 16 because of right hip inflammation and a sports hernia, Morton (6-12) allowed four hits in five innings, struck out six and walked two. He had been 0-3 with a 5.09 ERA in his eight previous starts. “We felt we’ve got a guy there we needed to see where he could go and what he could bring,” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. “We didn’t want to wait any longer. We wanted to see what he could bring, and adjust accordingly. He worked very hard (while on the DL) and his preparation paid off. It was a real shot in the arm.” Five pitchers combined on three-hit relief, completing the Pirates’ eighth shutout this season. Boston has been blanked 15 times. Continued on Page 17 GENE J.

Auto Racing Page 14 — Wednesday, September 17, 2014 The Indiana Gazette QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves AP/NAM Y. HUH Heading Down Under instead of Over Yonder. Is Brad Keselowski officially the Chase favorite now? GODSPEAK: “Bad Brad” sits atop the Keselowski-GordonHarvick triangle at the moment. KEN’S CALL: Many had him there a week ago; most have him there now. It’s not Aric Almirola, by the way. What will you remember most about the “Marcos Ambrose Era”? GODSPEAK: His anecdotes about panning for gold in North Carolina creeks. KEN’S CALL: That he had the coolest NASCAR accent this side of Ward Burton. ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar facebook.com/ nascardaytona UP TO THE CHALLENGE The first race of the Chase was a microcosm of the regular season and likely a preview of the remaining playoff races. Brad Keselowski, driving a Team Penske Ford, pulled away from Jeff Gordon, wheeling a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, as the two top-seeded drivers finished first and second at Chicagoland Speedway. While there is no rest for Chase competitors, Keselowski can go to the second race of the playoffs without worrying about advancing to the next round of competition. Race winners get a pass to the next round. On the other hand, he doesn’t want to lose momentum. He’s won the past two Cup races. “I want to enjoy the moment, but I still know there’s nine weeks to go,” said Keselowski, the 2012 Cup champ. “We have a bit of a hall pass for the next two … I’m very appreciative. “But those other seven, nobody cares that we won Chicago, nobody cares that we won Richmond or the other three races. It keeps resetting. You have to reset yourself. You have to keep developing the car and pushing as a team.” Gordon was happy with second place, knowing that top-five finishes will take him to the Championship Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November. Gordon, a four-time Cup champ, didn’t back away from his comment about being happy with nine consecutive second-place finishes going into Homestead. “Eight more and I’ll be really happy,” he said with a laugh. “You want to get the win. While you can move to the next level with that happening, you almost kind of have to win after that. “I think this is a great time for us to come out AP/NAM Y. HUH Blown engine could equal blown Chase for Almirola. Should anything surprise us through one round of the Chase? of here really solid and with a great second-place finish. We’ve got to get a little bit better. No doubt about it.” Even with their combined success at Chicago, both drivers are looking over their shoulders. The only surprise is that there were no big surprises. No one went behind the Chase 8-ball — unless they were deemed a long shot anyway (take a bow, Aric Almirola). And no one ran up front who wasn’t expected to do just that. So there you have it, one winner (Brad Keselowski) and, frankly, only one loser (did we mention Aric already?). TOYOTA’S TROUBLES If it seems like it’s been a long time since you’ve seen Denny Hamlin or Kyle Busch in Victory Lane, you are right. Team Toyota has gone 17 races without a victory. The last Toyota win was by Hamlin on May 4 at Talladega. That was springtime, and the calendar now has a toe in autumn. Matt Kenseth, winless this season, said he was disappointed with 10th place Sunday and Toyota needs to “figure that out and how we can be better.” Only one loser? What about those Roush boys? If you finish midpack, you don’t quite qualify as one of the first-round losers, yet you didn’t do yourself any favors. Carl Edwards finished 20th at Chicagoland and teammate (for a while longer) Greg Biffle finished 23rd. But frankly, no one we know had either on the short list of Chase favorites. THE REAL DEAL Jeff Gordon, 43, sees a little of his young self in 22-year-old Kyle Larson. They raced side by side for second-place honors Sunday. Gordon nabbed the position, and the two had a chat after the race. “I think this kid is the real deal,” Gordon said. The “Wonder Boy” torch has been passed. What about that other Roush racer? Oh yeah, finally a headline for Ricky Stenhouse, who, a couple of years ago, was seemingly destined for NASCAR stardom. Well, he got the stardom, but not yet for the right reasons. And this past Sunday, he only got noticed because he collided with Ol’ What’s Her Name, and for the record, they blamed a spotter. It’s still early enough in the relationship that any issues can be blamed on a third party.

He plans to race in his native Australia next year in a car that will carry the Team Penske banner. He spoke with the media about his decision to return home. What went into this decision? “There has been a lot of conjecture through the years, but I just want to get my kids home to enjoy the Australian lifestyle as well so they can make a good choice when they grow up. This is really a racing choice for me, and I feel like the time is right for me to stop in the U.S., and personally I think it is a great time to move back home to Australia with my family.” How would you characterize your NASCAR career? “It has been fantastic. I never thought I would achieve what I have at the Sprint Cup level. I have survived here for years, and I have had some wins, but not enough, and I feel like I was up against it early on from my background. I came from a country that doesn’t have any asphalt oval racing at all, and so I feel like I have achieved a lot and am really satisfied.” Do you see yourself coming back to drive road races? “I haven’t really thought about that. This decision was made some time ago, and RPM felt like (this) was a good day to announce it, but I had spoken to RPM about this before the summer.” What’s been the reaction from the team? “They understand and have been very open and frank with each other all the way through, and RPM has been a great team to drive for and fully understand my situation and have worked together on this. I feel like I’ve left them better than when I entered. I feel I’ve contributed to the turnaround. “When I first joined them in the turmoil of the Gillette changeover, there were a lot of gray clouds circling around them. They are on a great path, and I wish them the best. I value Richard’s friendship greatly and the family and everybody here at RPM. They are a great company, and I wish them the most success.” Local Sports The Indiana Gazette Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 15 Maturing Indians stay unbeaten Continued from Page 13 “This is the best soccer team I’ve ever been on.” Sophomore Grant Sharp netted his first goal of the season to open the scoring with 4:10 left in the first half, and seniors Rosenberger, David Zimmerman and Braydon Sharbaugh each added a goal as Indiana’s highpowered offense continued its fast start. Indiana has scored 39 goals, putting the Indians more than twothirds of the way to last year’s total of 57. They average nearly five goals per game, and they’ve scored at least three goals in every contest. But Tuesday was only their second shutout, and it’s an encouraging sign for a maturing group that’s still learning to play together. “It’s a sign of maturity of the whole team,” Indiana coach Todd Myers said. “As a team, we’re playing better IUP ROUNDUP By The Indiana Gazette Owen leads golf team to victory at Charleston Paced by Jack Owen’s first-place finish, IUP outlasted California by two strokes to win the Glade Springs Intercollegiate Championship on Tuesday at Charleston, W.Va. Owen shot a 6-underpar 210 to earn his second consecutive win. Owen shot a 2-under 70 and a 3-under 69 in the first two rounds on Monday to start what turned out to be the best threeround tournament of his career. He then shot a 1under 71 in Tuesday’s final round to hold off California’s Chris Bushey for a one-stroke victory. As a team, the Crimson Hawks finished with a 16over 880, holding off the Vulcans’ late surge. IUP opened the tournament with a 4-under 284 before recording a 6-over 294 later in day. Although the Vulcans sat 10 strokes behind after that first round, they narrowed the gap to four strokes after shooting even par in the second round. On Tuesday, California finished with a 12-over 300 while IUP shot a 14over 302. IUP’s Max Kirsch finished in a tie for seventh, shooting a 4-over 220. Kenneth Sames tied for 12th at 7-over 223. IUP travels to Virginia to compete in George Mason’s Patriot Intercollegiate on Sept. 28. California hands soccer team first loss California blanked 16thranked IUP, 2-0, to deal the Crimson Hawks their first loss of the season in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference women’s soccer match Tuesday evening. California outshot IUP 24-7 and had nine corner kicks to IUP’s one. IUP goaliekeeper Jessica Printz made five saves. IUP (4-1) plays host to Slippery Rock on Saturday. defensively. Just look at the first half versus the second half tonight. We talked to them at halftime, basically that Southmoreland got their opportunities when we gave them the ball so we really wanted to focus in the second half on not giving the ball away. … It’s more about team defense. The whole team has bought into it. Yeah, the back four is jelling, don’t get me wrong. The back four is definitely jelling, doing well, picking up marks, understanding their roles better. But I think as a team, they’re getting it too.” Sharbaugh scored just 47 seconds after Sharp, with 3:23 to play in the first half, and Indiana took a 2-0 halftime lead on a pair of tap-in goals from close range. In the second half, Rosenberger and Zimmerman scored three minutes apart as the Indians doubled their lead in the opening 11 minutes and cruised over the final half-hour. “They outplayed us completely, and we looked like garbage. That’s all I got,” Southmoreland coach Chris Hixson said tersely before declining further comment. As proficient as the offense has been, what pleases Myers even more is the Indians’ continued improvement in ball possession. They had the ball for more than 50 minutes of the 80-minute game Tuesday, and they limited the Scotties’ scoring chances by keeping the ball away from them. “Every game we just keep working on it,” Myers said. “Even the second half was better than the first half. And that’s what I keep preaching to them: If we have the ball, the other team can’t score.” Zimmerman raised his team-leading goal total to 11 while Sharbaugh reached double digits with his 10th goal. The team leader with 12 assists, Rosenberger tallied his ninth goal. The three-headed attack has already led the Indians to new heights with the 8-0 start, and it presents a challenge opponents rarely face. “Teams with one goal scorer, it’s hard enough to defend if you have a good player,” Rosenberger said. “When you have three up there, it’s almost impossible, especially with teams out here who have freshmen, sophomores starting on the back line who don’t know what the varsity high school soccer game is all about, and we come out there with three strong players and even the supporting guys around them. “Our other center-mid and whoever is playing out wide, everyone is capable of playing and can put the ball in the back of the net, and we’ve shown that this year because we have eight guys who’ve scored goals for us.” Clean Slates Ligonier Valley, Purchase Line remain undefeated By The Indiana Gazette Ligonier Valley and Purchase Line remained unbeaten in Heritage Conference girls’ volleyball action Tuesday evening.

IHS girls lose tennis match HOLLIDAYSBURG — Hollidaysburg improved to 8-0 by blanking Indiana, 5-0, in a non-conference girls’ tennis match Tuesday. Indiana fell to 8-2. Indiana’s Lucy Bujdos plays in the WPIAL Class AA singles tournament at Shady Side Academy today. Indiana suffers first loss Indiana suffered it’s first loss of the season, 38-24 to Kiski Area, in a seventhgrade football game. Justin Raible and Caleb White scored two touchdowns apiece for Indiana (2-1). White caught a touchdown pass from Alec Petroff. IJHS team forges tie In a match played Monday, Indiana tied East Allegheny, 3-3, in a junior high boys’ soccer match. Jameson Kutz, Evan Ray and Mat Rutledge each netted a goal for Indiana. Hogan’s Heroes beat Bob’s Hogan’s Heroes nipped Bob’s Pizza, 5-4, in an Indiana Over-40 Baseball League game Sunday at Keystone Rehab Field. Todd Raible, Tony Sottile, Brad Boyer and Brent Truman had two hits apiece for Hogan’s Heroes. Spencer Sadler drove in the game-winning run in the fifth inning. Jim Hogan and Leroy Putt teamed up to strike out five, Tom Kotelnick singled and doubled to lead Bob’s Pizza. Garry Wurm struck out five. Three leave Hawks following big loss Continued from Page 13 Weaver saw action in both contests and went 0-for-2 with an interception. Harrell, a transfer from TennesseeMartin, missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. “He has given up football for personal reasons,” Cignetti said. “We never really got him on the field.” Lane, also an Indiana graduate, was a walk-on who spent much of his time working with the scout team defense. The losses come in the wake of a 44-7 loss at Kutztown on Saturday. IUP entered the game ranked No. 20 in the country and with momentum from a season-opening 41-19 victory over Saint Augustine’s on Sept. 6. Cignetti said the loss isn’t a good thing, but he prefers to look at it as an opportunity. “This is a tremendous opportunity for us to improve,” he said. “The guys see the lessons that need to be learned. When you lose, it’s an opportunity for growth and development. Whether you lose by one or by 20, it doesn’t matter. A loss is a loss. I’d rather it happen now so that we can identify some issues that may have been swept under the rug.” IUP visits Lock Haven (0-2) on Saturday in another PSAC crossover game. INJURY UPDATE: IUP suffered some rather serious injuries in the loss to Kutztown, with the biggest being a groin injury to cornerback Jay Watkins. Cignetti said the sophomore is “probably out for the season,” after re-aggravating an injury he suffered at the beginning of training camp. “Potentially he is a really good player, but he’s always had an injury bug,” Cignetti said. Also, tight end Brock DeCicco, who left Saturday’s game in the first quarter with an ankle injury, is listed as day-today; linebacker Dorian Lane, who missed the first two games with a pulled hamstring, returned to practice Monday, and Cignetti said he “has a chance” to play at Lock Haven; starting right guard Tony Morgante is listed as day-today with a knee injury; and running back Izzy Green is out indefinitely with a bruised heel. CHANGES: Cignetti said he and his staff have made a few changes in preparation for Saturday’s visit to Lock Haven. The biggest is on the defensive line, where Jeff Palmer will get the start at defensive end, replacing Jordan Batts. In the secondary, either Allen Wight or Chris David will replace Watkins at field cornerback, and Jordan Brown has been moved to boundary cornerback, where he will back up starter Jerell McFadden. “It’s all about putting people in the spots to give you the best chance at being successful,” Cignetti said, “(and) rewarding guys that produce.” At quarterback, Haslett is the starter, with Eddie Stockett moving up to replace Weaver as the backup. The issue there is that there are only two quarterbacks on the roster now, and Stockett hasn’t done much the past two weeks with the offense because he has been running the scout team. “He’s been running the scout team for the last two weeks,” Cignetti said, “so he hasn’t been working with the offense for two weeks. So we’ll get him caught back up.” Walker & Walker Equipment, LLC "OUIPOZ3VO3PBEt*OEJBOB1" 724-354-2552 Sports Page 16 — Wednesday, September 17, 2014 The Indiana Gazette BRIEFS Scoreboard SCHEDULE From Gazette wire services MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TODAY NATIONAL LEAGUE CROSS COUNTRY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS Homer-Center, Marion Center at United, 4:30 p.m. Ligonier Valley, Northern Cambria at Purchase Line, 4:30 p.m. Penns Manor at Blairsville, 4:30 p.m. FIELD HOCKEY COLLEGE WOMEN East Stroudsburg at IUP, 4 p.m. GOLF HIGH SCHOOL BOYS At Indiana Country Club WPIAL Individual Qualifier Indiana participating, 9 a.m. At Summit Country Club, Cresson Northern Cambria at Portage, 3 p.m. HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS At Murrysville Golf Course WPIAL Individual Qualifier Indiana, Derry participating, 10 a.m. SOCCER HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS Derry at Indiana, 7 p.m. TENNIS HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS East Division W L x-Washington 87 63 Atlanta 75 76 Miami 73 77 New York 73 79 Philadelphia 69 82 Central Division W L St. Louis 83 68 Pittsburgh 80 70 Milwaukee 79 72 Cincinnati 71 81 Chicago 67 84 West Division W L Los Angeles 86 65 San Francisco 83 68 San Diego 70 80 Arizona 62 89 Colorado 60 91 WILD CARD W L San Francisco 83 68 Pittsburgh 80 70 Milwaukee 79 72 Atlanta 75 76 x-clinched division Pct GB .580 — .497 12½ .487 14 .480 15 .457 18½ Pct GB .550 — .533 2½ .523 4 .467 12½ .444 16 Pct GB .570 — .550 3 .467 15½ .411 24 .397 26 Pct GB .550 +2½ .533 — .523 1½ .497 5½ AMERICAN LEAGUE At Shady Side Academy WPIAL Section Singles Indiana, Derry participating East Division W L Pct GB 91 60 .603 — 77 73 .513 13½ 76 74 .507 14½ 74 78 .487 17½ 66 85 .437 25 Central Division W L Pct GB Detroit 84 67 .556 — Kansas City 82 68 .547 1½ Cleveland 77 73 .513 6½ Chicago 69 82 .457 15 Minnesota 64 87 .424 20 West Division W L Pct GB z-Los Angeles 94 57 .623 — Oakland 83 67 .553 10½ Seattle 81 69 .540 12½ Houston 67 84 .444 27 Texas 58 92 .387 35½ WILD CARD W L Pct GB Oakland 83 67 .553 +1 Kansas City 82 68 .547 — Seattle 81 69 .540 1 Cleveland 77 73 .513 5 Toronto 77 73 .513 5 New York 76 74 .507 6 z-clinched playoff berth x-clinched division Tuesday’s Games INTERLEAGUE Pittsburgh 4, Boston 0 NATIONAL LEAGUE N.Y.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL SEPT. 17 1930 — Cleveland’s Earl Averill drove in eight runs with three consecutive home runs to lead the Indians to a 13-7 victory over the Washington Senators in a doubleheader opener. Averill added another homer in the nightcap, which the Senators took 6-4, and set an American League record with 11 RBIs in the doubleheader. 1968 — Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants pitched a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals for a 1-0 victory. 1984 — Reggie Jackson became the 13th player in major league history to reach 500 home runs. No. 500 came off Kansas City pitcher Bud Black. His homer came exactly 17 years after he got his first career hit.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The NFL players’ union appealed Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension Tuesday night. Rice was originally handed a two-game suspension in July under the NFL’s personal conduct policy after he was charged with assault following a Feb. 15 altercation with his then-fiancée in a casino elevator. The Baltimore running back had already served the first game of that suspension when, on Sept. 8, a video surfaced showing Rice punching Janay Palmer, now his wife, in that elevator. Within hours, the Ravens released Rice and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell extended the suspension to indefinite based on the “new evidence.” Goodell and the Ravens say they never saw the video before Sept. 8. The NFLPA said that the collective bargaining agreement requires a hearing date be set within 10 days of the appeal notice. It also said the hearing will require a neutral arbitrator to determine what information was available to the NFL and when it was available. The union, which had until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday to file the appeal, added that under governing labor law, an employee can’t be punished twice for the same action when all of the relevant facts were available to the employer at the time of the first punishment. • RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A prosecutor said Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon will receive probation and undergo a substance-abuse assessment after pleading guilty to a drunkendriving charge in North Carolina. Acting Wake County district attorney Ned Mangum said Gordon received a 60-day suspended jail sentence and one year of unsupervised probation Tuesday. He must also comply with any treatment recommended through the substance-abuse assessment, pay a $100 fine along with court costs and perform community service. Mangum said the court has also suspended Gordon’s driver’s license. Gordon’s attorney, Trey Fitzhugh, entered a guilty plea on Gordon’s behalf on a charge of driving while impaired from a July arrest in Raleigh. Warner, Seau on Hall list UNDATED (AP) — Super Bowl-winning quarterback Kurt Warner and linebacker Junior Seau are among 15 firstyear eligible modern-era candidates nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Also nominated for the class of 2015 in their first year of eligibility are receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, tackle Orlando Pace, and placekicker Jason Elam. A total of 99 players and 14 coaches comprise the 113 nominees. A modern-era player or coach must be retired at least five consecutive seasons to be eligible. The selection committee will choose 25 candidates as semifinalists in late November. That list will be reduced to 15 modern-era finalists in early January. The 2015 class will be voted on the day before the Super Bowl. Stewart case to go to grand jury UNDATED (AP) — A grand jury will decide whether NASCAR driver Tony Stewart will be charged in the August death of a fellow driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York, a prosecutor said Tuesday. Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo said he made the decision to present the case to a grand jury after reviewing evidence collected by county sheriff’s investigators. Sports The Indiana Gazette Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 17 Banned, Peterson’s season might be over By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer MINNEAPOLIS — After a day of public pressure from angry fans and concerned sponsors, the Minnesota Vikings have reversed course and placed star running back Adrian Peterson on the exempt-commissioner’s permission list, a move that will require him to stay away from the team while he addresses child abuse charges in Texas. The Vikings made the announcement early Wednesday morning, about a day and a half after initially deciding that Peterson could play with the team while the legal process played out. Peterson is charged with a felony for using a wooden switch to spank his 4-yearold son and now could miss the rest of the season while the case proceeds through the court system. The Vikings came under heavy criticism for their initial stance. Several sponsors responded by either suspending their deals with the Vikings or severing ties with Peterson, prompting Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf to revisit the situation on Tuesday. “While we were trying to make a balanced decision yesterday, after further reflection we have concluded that this resolution is best for the Vikings and for Adrian,” the Wilfs said in a statement. “We want to be clear: we have a strong stance regarding the protection and welfare of children, and we want to be sure we get this right. At the same time we want to express our support for Adrian and acknowledge his sevenplus years of outstanding commitment to this organization and this community.” Peterson, 29, was indicted last week in Montgomery County, Texas, after admitting to authorities that he struck his son with a tree branch. Peterson said he was disciplining his son the same way his own father disciplined him while growing up in Palestine, Texas, and didn’t intend to hurt him. The Vikings deactivated him for the 30-7 loss to New England on Sunday while they gathered more information. But on Monday they announced that Peterson was being reinstated and expected to play this weekend at New Orleans. The about-face came after the Radisson hotel chains suspended its sponsorship with the Vikings, Papa John’s considered doing the same, and Anheuser-Busch said it was “disappointed and increasingly concerned” with the negative attention brought to the league by Ray Rice’s assault on his wife and Peterson’s arrest. Castrol Motor Oil, Special Olympics Minnesota and Mylan Inc. all severed ties with Peterson, and Twin Cities Nike stores pulled Peterson’s jerseys from its shelves. “This is the best possible outcome given the circumstances,” Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, said of the Vikings’ decision. “Adrian understands the gravity of the situation and this enables him to take care of his personal situation. We fully support Adrian and he looks forward to watching his teammates and coaches being successful during his absence.” Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, who spearheaded an effort to secure $477 million in public money to help build the team a new stadium, and Sen. Al Franken were among the many who called for the Vikings to reconsider their position. Peterson’s first court appearance isn’t until Oct. 8, and with the Vikings specifying that he must stay away “until the legal proceedings are resolved,” it appears there is a possibility that he won’t play again this year. “After giving the situation additional thought, we have decided this is the appropriate course of action for the organization and for Adrian,” the Wilfs said. “We are always focused on trying to make the right decision as an organization. “We embrace our role — and the responsibilities that go with it — as a leader in the community, as a business partner and as an organization that can build bridges with our fans and positively impact this great region. We appreciate and value the input we have received from our fans, our partners and the community.” Peterson has rushed for 10,190 yards and 86 touchdowns in his NFL career. He won the MVP award in 2012 after rushing for 2,097 yards in his return from a torn ACL. Tomlin isn’t worried Lions need work Continued from Page 13 “Obviously, we’re going to have to improve in the running game and our protection,” Franklin said. “That’s going to be very, very important. I think it really comes down to our communication and coordination up front, making sure that all five or six guys, depending on the protection and the play, are all on same page and working together and that hasn’t been the case so far. “That’s time, that’s chemistry, that’s all those things that have to happen.” It won’t happen without an overall grasp of the program’s future, something he said he and his staff possess. “I’ve been a lot of places where your focus is on the game that week and that you’re not really connecting with the freshmen and you have a lot of turnover with the freshmen,” Franklin said. “I think that’s so important to keep those guys so involved and have fun and enjoy themselves and also see that they have bright futures here. That’s really, really important as well.” A lot of communication goes into solid line play, and a little bravery is involved as well. “It deals with really being confident and brave enough to make a (blocking) call,” he said. “Because if someone makes the call and it’s wrong, then there’s someone to blame. I don’t want them to approach it that way. I want them to make a decision they think is a right decision for the team and move on. If we make a mistake we learn from it, you man up to it, you own it and you move forward.” Despite the lackluster rushing attack, Penn State is ranked first in passing offense (360.7 yards per game) in the Big Ten (and 10th nationally) behind Hackenberg, the conference leader in total offense with 1,103 yards. A scoring defense that’s ranked first in the Big Ten and 11th nationally, and a rushing defense that is No. 2 in the conference and No. 7 in the country has provided momentum, Franklin said. “Our guys have done a great job of having a sense of urgency when we needed it most,” he said. “I think there are a lot of things that factor into it. It’s not like we’re just waiting till the fourth quarter to call those plays.” NOTES: A movement on Facebook is setting up what organizers are calling a “Joe-out” for Saturday’s home game against Massachusetts. People are urged to either dress like late Penn State coach Joe Paterno or display the No. 409 to signify his number of victories. The NCAA restored Penn State’s available scholarships to a full allotment of 85 last week and also made the university eligible for the postseason. Those were sanctions the university had placed on it after the Jerry Sandusky child-abuse scandal. The NCAA also removed 111 Paterno-led wins from the record book. PATRICK SEMANSKY/Associated Press DAVID TULIS/Associated Press ORIOLES MANAGER Buck Showalter was showered with champagne and beer after Baltimore clinched the AL East, and Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos and pitcher Drew Storen congratulated each other after Washington won the NL East. O’s, Nats clinch divisions By The Associated Press Baltimore and Washington became the first teams in the major leagues to wrap up division titles Tuesday night. The Orioles clinched the AL East by beating Toronto, and the Nationals won the NL East by bating Atlanta. ORIOLES 8, BLUE JAYS 2: Baltimore won its first AL East crown since 1997, using home runs by Steve Pearce and Jimmy Paredes to beat Toronto. With their ninth win in 10 games, the Orioles clinched their second playoff appearance in three years following a run of 14 consecutive losing seasons. It was Baltimore’s ninth AL East title and only its second since 1983, when the Orioles last won the World Series. Ubaldo Jimenez (5-9) survived a rocky start to limit the Blue Jays to two runs and two hits over five innings. NATIONALS 3, BRAVES 0: The Nationals are again champions of the NL East, wrapping up their second division title in three years against the team that knocked them out of the top spot last season. Tanner Roark pitched five-hit ball over seven innings, Ian Desmond’s two-run homer broke a scoreless tie, and the Nationals celebrated another trip to the playoffs with a victory over Atlanta. Atlanta (75-76) lost for the 11th time in 14 games The Braves and are under .500 for the first time since losing on opening day. They fell 5½ behind Pittsburgh for the second wild card. NATIONAL LEAGUE BREWERS 3, CARDINALS 2: Carlos Gomez walked, stole second and third and scored the go-ahead run on a bloop hit by rookie Hector Gomez in the 12th inning as Milwaukee ended NL Centralleading St. Louis’ three-game winning streak. Brandon Kintzler (3-3) got the last out in the 11th, and Francisco Rodriguez closed for his 42nd save in 47 chances. The third-place Brewers have won five of six and are four games back of St. Louis, which has a 2½-game lead on Pittsburgh with 11 to go. The Brewers remained 1½ behind the Pirates for the second wild card. Gerardo Parra homered and rookie Matt Clark’s sacrifice fly tied it against Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth. GIANTS 2, DIAMONDBACKS 1: Jake Peavy had another strong outing, Buster Posey homered, and San Francisco gained a game in the NL West race with a victory over Arizona. The Giants are three games behind first-place Los Angeles with 11 to play. San Francisco snapped a three-game losing streak and remained 2½ games ahead of Pittsburgh for the NL’s top wild-card spot. Peavy (6-4), acquired from Boston on July 26, allowed a run and five hits in 7 23 innings, striking out four and walking one. In his last five starts, he is 3-0 and has allowed a combined four runs. Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect ninth for his 16th save. ROCKIES 10, DODGERS 4: Corey Dickerson homered, tripled and drove in four runs, Tyler Matzek pitched into the sixth inning by getting out of several tight spots, and Colorado snapped a sevengame skid with a win over the NL Westleading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers had Matzek (6-10) on the ropes, but couldn’t produce the timely hit. They stranded 10 runners to drop 1½ games behind Washington for the best record in the National League. CUBS 7, REDS 0: Jake Arrieta took a nohit bid into the eighth inning before giving up Brandon Phillips’ one-out double, the only blemish for the Chicago pitcher in a win over Cincinnati. Arrieta (9-5) struck out 13 and walked one in his first career complete game. He was five outs from the first no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 42 years when Phillips drove an 0-2 pitch to deep leftcenter, just beyond the desperate dive of center fielder Matt Szczur. METS 9, MARLINS 1: Wilmer Flores homered twice and drove in six runs for the second time this year, Ruben Tejada capped a four-run fourth inning with a two-run double, and New York routed Miami to end a three-game skid. Bartolo Colon (14-12) bounced back from his shortest outing of the year to pitch 7 2-3 innings for New York, allowing one run and a season-high 12 hits. PADRES 5, PHILLIES 4: Alexi Amarista had three hits, including a go-ahead two-run homer, to lead San Diego over Philadelphia. Amarista’s two-out homer in the sixth inning off A.J. Burnett (8-17) put the Padres ahead 4-3. Amarista, who doubled in the second and singled in the fourth, fell a triple short of the cycle when he grounded out in the eighth. AMERICAN LEAGUE WHITE SOX 7, ROYALS 5: Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis both gave up runs for the first time in nearly three months as Kansas City’s dominant bullpen was touched up in a loss to Chicago. Davis replaced Herrera (3-3) with two on in the seventh inning and walked Jose Abreu to load the bases for Conor Gillaspie, who cleared them with a triple that gave Chicago a 7-5 lead. That ended Herrera’s scoreless streak at 30 2-3 innings. Also snapped was Davis’ shutout streak of 31 2-3 innings, a club record for a reliever. The Royals remained 1½ games behind the Tigers, but still lead Seattle for the second wild-card spot. MARINERS 13, ANGELS 2: Mike Zunino’s two-run double keyed a four-run fifth inning, and Seattle climbed within a game of the second AL wild-card spot by routing the Los Angeles Angels. One night after becoming the first team to secure a playoff berth, the Angels lost for only the fourth time in 21 games. Their magic number for clinching the AL West dropped to two because of Oakland’s loss to Texas. The Athletics lead the wild-card race by a game over Kansas City. Carson Smith (1-0) earned his first major league victory with two innings of hitless relief. Jason Grilli (1-3) took the loss. RANGERS 6, ATHLETICS 3: Scott Kazmir allowed a two-run homer to Jake Smolinski, and shortstop Jed Lowrie made an error that led to a pair of unearned runs as Oakland lost to lastplace Texas. After strengthening their AL wild-card lead by beating Seattle in the final two games of a weekend series, the A’s looked sloppy in the opener of a ninegame homestand and failed in their attempt to win three straight for the first time since Aug. 7-9. The A’s remained one game ahead of Kansas City for the top wild-card spot. RAYS 6, YANKEES 1: Derek Jeter was hit on the arm by a Steve Geltz pitch in the eighth inning of a loss to Tampa Bay, the fifth time a New York batter has been hit by a Rays pitcher in the past week. Yankees manager Joe Girardi came out of the dugout and was ejected after New York’s captain was hit, and David Phelps was ejected by plate umpire Rob Drake in the bottom half after throwing a tight pitch to Kevin Kiermaier. INDIANS 4, ASTROS 2: Corey Kluber (169) struck out a career-high 14 in seven innings, and Cleveland halted its fourgame losing streak by topping Houston. Houston’s Jose Altuve broke Craig Biggio’s club record for hits in a season with his 211th, a single in the seventh. TWINS 4, TIGERS 3: Aaron Hicks hit a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning, and Minnesota rallied for a win over AL Central-leading Detroit. Trevor Plouffe drew a one-out walk against Joe Nathan (4-4) and was replaced by pinch-runner Doug Bernier. Bernier scored when center fielder Ezequiel Carrera dived for a line drive off the bat of Kurt Suzuki and missed it, allowing the ball to roll to the wall. Pirates beat Red Sox in Morton’s return Continued from Page 13 Pittsburgh remained 1½ games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL’s second wild card and moved within 2½ games of the St. Louis Cardinals, the NL Central leaders. The Cardinals lost 3-2 to the Brewers at home in 12 innings on Tuesday night. Russell Martin hit a two-run homer in the second inning off rookie Anthony Ranaudo (3-3), and Starling Marte added a solo shot in the sixth. Travis Snider added an RBI single in the seventh against Tommy Layne. Ranaudo lost his third straight start, giving up three runs, four hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings. He has allowed 10 home runs in his first six starts. “There was a bad pitch in there to Martin and one to Marte,” Ranaudo said. “If we look back at all my starts, the common theme is home runs, and I obviously have to do a better job.” Boston rookie Xander Bogaerts had two hits to extend his hitting streak to nine games. The Red Sox, who are last in the AL East a year after winning the World Series, were hitless in 10 at-bats with runners in scoring position and stranded eight runners. Boston’s Clay Buchholz (8-8, 5.19) looks to win his fourth consecutive start tonight when he faces Francisco Liri- ano (5-10, 3.53). Liriano pitched a combined 14 shutout innings while winning his last two starts. NOTES: Jordy Mercer was a late scratch because of lower back tightness. Clint Barmes took his place in the starting lineup. ... Marte (bruised right elbow) started for the first time since he was hit by a pitch from Philadelphia right-handed pitcher A.J. Burnett on Thursday. … Boston was planning to recall center fielder Rusney Castillo from Triple-A Pawtucket tonight, and he will make his major league debut. The Red Sox signed Castillo to a $72.5 million, seven-year contract on Aug. 22, the largest deal for a Cuban defector. Continued from Page 13 Asked if he sees the uptick in flags on his players symptomatic of a league-wide crackdown and he shrugged his shoulders. “I haven’t looked at it globally,” Tomlin said. “I’m not really familiar with anything going on outside of Pittsburgh right now.” And what Tomlin sees is a group that’s trying to do the right thing most of the time even if Pittsburgh leads the NFL in unnecessary roughness penalties (three) and personal foul facemasks (three). Two of the unnecessary roughness calls came in a span of a minute during last week’s 26-6 loss to Baltimore. Safety Troy Polamalu was flagged when officials ruled he hit Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta when Pitta was trying to complete a catch. A couple of snaps later, safety Mike Mitchell drew a whistle for slamming into Baltimore wide receiver Steve Smith at the goal line. Replays showed Mitchell — who was fined several times last year for dangerous hits while playing for Carolina — appeared to lead with his shoulder. The call on Mitchell set up a short Baltimore touchdown that made it 17-6 and the Steelers never recovered. “I don’t have major concerns about our ability to respect the player-safety initiative and lowering the target and things of that nature,” Tomlin said. “I know that we were called a couple of times in the football game, but largely in regards to our guys and our approach to it, I have very little concern.” The Steelers had a similar rough start in 2012, drawing 28 penalties through the first three games. They turned it around quickly enough to end up the seventh leastpenalized team that year. While Tomlin allowed keeping the referees from reaching into their pockets would help his team avoid the kind of sloppy play that highlighted the loss to Baltimore, he’s more worried about a rush defense that is allowing 170 yards per game. Pressed on if it’s simply bad tackling or players being out of position, Tomlin just laughed. “It’s all something that needs to be addressed and quickly rectified,” he said. Doing it against the Panthers won’t be easy. Carolina has one of the better running back combinations in the league in Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams. Throw in quarterback Cam Newton and Carolina is among the most physical teams in the NFL. “It starts with working to minimize what they are capable of doing in the run game for us,” Tomlin said. “We haven’t been our best in that area.” NOTES: Wide receiver Lance Moore (groin) practiced on Monday and will make his season debut if he goes through the rest of the week without a setback. ... Nose tackle Steve McLendon is dealing with a right shoulder injury and is questionable.

TNT The Indiana Gazette Entertainment Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 19 U2 innovating while entertaining By CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer Since U2 stunned the music world by delivering a surprise album at Apple’s iPhone 6 unveiling and making it available to a halfbillion iTunes users for free, they’ve gotten an avalanche of publicity. But who’s listening to it? The answer is still unclear. Apple has not released official download rates for “Songs of Innocence” and U2’s manager, Guy Oseary, also said he didn’t know how many people had actually downloaded the album. But that really wasn’t the point: The album will live on in users’ iCloud, and the band envisions new listeners accessing it for the first time for years to come. “We’re quite happy that 7 percent of the planet has this album, and they can enjoy it at their leisure,” Oseary said. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ move was hotly debated within the industry as people tried to assess whether it was another stroke of genius from a band that has been a topselling juggernaut for decades or a ploy by an aging group trying to make a splash in a landscape that has vastly changed since it released its last album in 2009. Even though that album went platinum, its sales were a bit of a disappointment for the band. Back then, frontman Bono told The Associated Press, “We felt that the ‘album’ is almost an extinct species, and we (tried to) create a mood and feeling, and a beginning, middle and an end. And I suppose we’ve made a work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of pop stars.” That diet has gotten even more extreme since then, with album sales continuing to plummet industrywide, singles dominating and streaming services including Spotify and even iTunes helping to diminish the impact of a cohesive art form album. So what is U2 trying to achieve with its latest Apple alliance? Oseary said the band achieved one goal: keeping the integrity of “Songs” intact by releasing it as an album. As far as U2’s larger business goals? “I don’t expect everyone to get everything now,” Oseary said. “Maybe in a few years things will start making sense or they won’t. But that’s not our job. Our job is to make sure the music is in as many hands as possible. This was an incredible opportunity to do that.” U2 joined Jay-Z, Beyoncé and a growing number of artists who are working out exclusive corporate deals and employing guerrilla ad campaigns rather than moving the album through the typical marketing plan of singles release and slow build to launch date. Like Jay-Z and his Samsung partnership to launch “Magna Carta ... Holy Grail” last year, U2 and Interscope Records get handsomely paid — something that’s no longer guaranteed from album sales alone — and the money comes on up front. Apple continues a high-profile relationship with a longtime business and philanthropic partner, plus earns more credit for innovation. Fans get something for free and those who don’t want it can just ignore it. “I applaud each of those artists creating a stir and not just falling into a predictable marketing strategy,” longtime producer and Sony Music Entertainment executive Clive Davis said. “I think in the case of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, they had successful results triggering so much extra media attention and coverage because they didn’t do things in a formulaic kind of manner.” But there may be penalties to pay later if physical retailers refuse to stock the album, as Target did when Beyoncé surprise-dropped her self-titled LP exclusively on iTunes last December for a week (it was still a top-seller worldwide). And there are still lots of questions. Will fans now buy a physical copy, released Oct. 14? Will the band lose some of its cool? Even the unflappable Jay-Z suffered backlash when the app he and Samsung used to distribute his album to 1 million customers cataloged user information, and there have already been complaints from some who didn’t want a U2 album on their cloud — even as a gift. Rob Beckham, an agent with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment who handles some of country music’s biggest stars, thinks any negatives that might emerge have already been offset. All acts suffer a cooling of interest when their careers reach into the decades, he said, and the trick is to find ways to rekindle interest and build new audiences. A win for U2, for sure, but in some ways he feels the excitement over a move will inspire the industry. “People still have to have a passion for the music,” Beckham said. “They have to have a passion to buy it, the passion to steal it or the passion to copy it. To me, the best part of this is they’re getting new music into the marketplace. I think the hardest part is going to be at some point if record labels are not able to sell music and make money, then you’re going to see a lot fewer artists and a lot less music in the marketplace.” There’s no question the album’s arrival got the meter moving in a year that’s been light on buzzy releases. Reports surfaced earlier that the band would not release an album until 2015 after teasing its imminent arrival earlier this year. Now, it will be one of 2014’s most memorable musical moments. Oseary declined to release financial details of the deal and said he was not privy to Apple’s spending on its advertising campaign. The band is focused on next month’s deluxe edition release, which will include four unreleased songs and acoustic versions of album tracks, and he said they’re not ready to talk about the forthcoming album “Songs of Experience” or speculation that a tour announcement is imminent. He encouraged everyone to think differently. “I think it’s great for music,” he said. “Someone right now may have seen this happen and they may decide they want to do something amazing with artwork or with lyrics or something amazing with a video or photos. We don’t know what someone else will innovate, but it’s great to see something exciting happen and see big companies launch something with new music.” DAMIAN DOVARGANES/Associated Press MICHAEL EISENBERG, right, got a push to move the customized Captain America chopper Peter Fonda rode in “Easy Rider” at the Profiles in History auction house in Calabasas, Calif., on Sept. 4. ‘Easy Rider’ bike going to auction By ULA ILNYTZKY from Fonda who insisted on it being decorated with the American flag. “Easy Rider” is a classic road film about two drugusing, long-haired bikers, Wyatt (Fonda) and Billy (Hopper), who go on a crosscountry odyssey to New Orleans in search of personal freedom and easy money. Four motorcycles were created for the movie, but only one is known to have survived. It was used in the climactic crash scene in which Fonda is thrown off the bike. “Three of the motorcycles were stolen, even before the movie was released, which was a sign of the overwhelming power that these motorcycles had,” said Haggerty. “They were never recovered.” After the film was finished, Hopper told Haggerty to keep it. Haggerty rode it often, an experience he likened to “going out with Marilyn Monroe.” Parting with it was like having a “child finally getting married and moving away and starting a new life on their own.” That new life was at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, run by a friend of Haggerty’s. When the museum decided to sell it last year, Eisenberg jumped at the chance to buy it. An “Easy Rider” fan since childhood, Eisenberg ran the Thunder Road House in West Hollywood with Fonda and Hopper in the 1990s until it burned down due to an electrical fire. He had for years inquired about buying the bike from Associated Press NEW YORK — The customized Captain America chopper Peter Fonda rode in “Easy Rider” has come to symbolize the counterculture of the 1960s. Now it’s for sale. The auction house Profiles in History told The Associated Press that it estimates the Harley-Davidson will bring $1 million to $1.2 million at its Oct. 18 sale being held online and at its galleries in Calabasas, Calif. The seller is Michael Eisenberg, a California businessman who once co-owned a Los Angeles motorcyclethemed restaurant with Fonda and “Easy Rider” costar Dennis Hopper. Eisenberg bought it last year from Dan Haggerty, perhaps best known for his roles in the “Grizzly Adams” TV show and movies, who was in charge of keeping the custom-designed bike humming during the 1969 movie’s filming. The gleaming stars-andstripes panhead chopper with chromed hardtail frame is accompanied by three letters of authenticity. One is signed by the National Motorcycle Museum, where it was displayed for 12 years. Another is from Fonda and a third from Haggerty. The bike features a forward-angled front wheel and handlebars, fishtail exhaust pipes and a teardrop-shaped gas tank where the protagonists stashed their cash. It was designed with input Haggerty and then the museum. “I always wanted to own it,” he said. “But once it sunk in that I actually had it, then I realized how important it was.” He added: “The public needs to see it. It’s that icon- ic. It needs to be on a podium.” Eisenberg said he plans to donate “a significant amount” of the proceeds to the American Humane Association to honor Fonda’s involvement in the organization.

What if I told you there is a way you can have a fully functional debit card without any of the problems and hassles that come with running up a credit card balance you cannot pay off in a single month. You’d say, “Mary, this is brilliant!” Well, get ready because that’s exactly what I have for you. The Indiana Gazette MEETING KICKOFF COMING EVENTS PURSE AUCTION: The Ladies Auxiliary to American Legion Post 508 is sponsoring a purse auction and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, at the post home, 805 Maple Ave., Northern Cambria.

This should be a MasterCard or Visa that has no annual fee. STEP 2: Transfer money into this account. Do this by check or online as you would if you did have a balance and were simply sending in the money to pay it off. This will result in your account showing a credit balance. If you send in $500, you will see a credit balance of -$500 on your next statement or online when you check your account. This is your money in the bank. And, yes, it is perfectly legal to have a credit balance on a credit card account STEP 3: When you shop online, at a store, or visit a restaurant — anywhere you normally depend on your debit card because the money comes straight out of your bank account — use this DIY “debit card” instead. STEP 4: In two or three days, the amount of your purchase will show up on your account as a charge. Your credit balance will be reduced by that amount with no fees or additional charges. If your purchase was for $3.73, your $500 credit balance will be reduced accordingly to $496.27. STEP 5: Watch your account as you would any account. If you see a fraudulent charge, you have all the protection of federal law that regulates credit cards. Call customer service without delay. STEP 6: When your credit balance runs low, deposit additional funds. STEP 7: If you need to get your credit balance refunded, call customer service with your request. By law, they must send it to you in full within seven days of your request. There you go. And, yes, it is brilliant. Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

How to teach kids about credit at a young age By SASCHA ZUGER FamilyFun Magazine Shortly after his sixth birthday, I brought my son, Nakoa, to the toy store, a $15 gift card clutched in his hot little hand. As always, we headed straight for the trucks and trains aisle. There, an endcap display stopped him in his tracks. A large, shiny construction-themed train set beckoned. He threw his arms around the box. “This. THIS!” he crowed, rapturous. I gently pointed out the price tag. “It’s $69.95, baby. You have only $15.” I helped him tuck it back on the shelf. “It would take a very long time to save up that much money.” “I could do it. I could save. I can be patient,” he nodded, with a final hug of the box. “I want this.” So began a flurry of money-scheming. Nakoa scoured the sofa and car for change. He brought me endless Diet Cokes, each five-cent deposit bringing him closer to his dream. He begged for chores until the lower 3½ feet of our house sparkled. Weeks turned into months. Then, with an influx of cash from Grandma for a great report card, it was finally time. Back at the store, he skipped ahead. As we rounded the aisle, I was gut-kicked by the sight of a Lego-filled endcap. The train sets were gone. They were all gone. We flew through the stages of grief in a blur, as a store manager broke the news that the toy was not merely sold out, but discontinued. There was nothing to be done. The train had left the station. Too devastated even to think about other toys, Nakoa piped up as we left, “I wish you could just buy things, then pay the money back later.” A CREDIT SYSTEM It was so obvious.

As a teen, I racked up huge credit-card debt before I’d ever heard of a credit score. We sat at the kitchen table, and I explained how credit worked. I told him how, when I didn’t have the cash to buy a car, the bank lent me money, because I was a safe risk. Nakoa had been responsible with money and amassed decent savings through hard work. So, I said, he was ready to get a little credit, too. I’d start him at a score of 5, the highest in our new system. If he maintained a 4 or 5, and saw something important to him he couldn’t afford, I would extend him credit and he could pay me back. If he continued to be responsible and repay me promptly, he would stay at 5. But if he started pestering me for things, his score would go down — as a real credit score would if you keep requesting higher spending limits. Nakoa was thrilled: the objects of his desire were now within reach. He just had to remember that all his actions affected his score. If we had behavior issues, I might ping his rating down a half-point, I explained. If he owed me money but depleted his assets to buy a slushy, it might get lowered again. If he wanted something very pricey, he needed to push his score as high as he could before asking. Nakoa is now 11 years old. Though trains were long ago replaced by the latest Nike soccer cleats, we still avoid arguments in shops. Sure, clerks sometimes raise an eyebrow when they overhear him say, “I can get this, right? My credit score is 4.5.” But that’s OK. I feel I’ve helped my son get a head start on money smarts.

Et Cetera The Indiana Gazette PEOPLE Key to being well-liked is to make yourself likable DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-yearold girl. When I’m with the high school group of kids at my church, I try to extend myself and talk, but they never reciprocate much. I always have to try to think of something to say and be careful I don’t embarrass myself. Especially around guys, I feel awkward and selfconscious. I feel OK about myDear Abby is self, but I written by still get Abigail Van nervous. Buren, also Other girls known as find things Jeanne to talk Phillips, and about to was founded by her mother, each other but not me, Pauline and guys Phillips. never talk to me first, either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or being too careful. I’m an only child. I get along pretty well with adults, but I have a hard time with kids. I heard you have a booklet about these issues. If you think it might help me, how can I order it? — UNPOPULAR IN SACRAMENTO DEAR ABBY DEAR UNPOPULAR: Part of your problem may be that you’re an only child, which can be isolating. If you spend most of your time with adults, it’s understandable that you are less comfortable with people your own age. But don’t let it stop you from trying to be friendly. If guys don’t speak to you first, they’re probably feeling as awkward as you are. To smile and say hello is not being pushy. My booklet “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions for polishing social skills. It covers a variety of social situations and is meant for people of all ages. To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. There are tips for becoming the kind of person other people find interesting, attractive and want to know better. (If parents, teachers and clergy know someone needing help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of that person’s life.) The key to being well-liked by both sexes is: Be kind. Be honest. Be tactful. Don’t be afraid to give someone a compliment if you think it’s deserved. If you think you’re not beautiful (or handsome), be well-groomed, tastefully dressed, conscious of your posture. (People who stand tall and smile project selfconfidence.) If you’re not a “brain,” try harder. If you are smarter than most, don’t be a knowit-all. Ask other people what they think and encourage them to share their opinions. If you’re not a good athlete, be a good sport. Think for yourself, but respect the rules. Be generous with kind words and affectionate gestures, but respect yourself and your family values always. If you think “putting out” will make boys like you, forget it. (It won’t work, and later you’ll be glad you didn’t.) If you need help, ask God. If you don’t need anything, thank God! DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27-yearold male, and I have no clue how to read women’s subtle interest cues, if they ever display any. I’d like to think they have, given that I put in at least two days a week at the gym working with weights. Since you are a woman, could you please be so kind as to give this man a clue what to look for? It’s driving me nuts! — AVAILABLE IN ILLINOIS DEAR AVAILABLE: The most obvious clues that a woman finds you attractive are eye contact and a smile. That’s your opening to make conversation. The rest is up to you! Wednesday, September 17, 2014 — Page 21 Thicke says he didn’t write hit ‘Blurred Lines’ By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Robin Thicke’s attorney says the estate of Marvin Gaye exploited the singer’s “moment of personal vulnerability” in an attempt to prove that the hit “Blurred Lines” was a ripoff of a Gaye hit. In a deposition, obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, Thicke says Pharrell Williams did much of the writing on the Grammy Award-nominated song and says, “I was just lucky enough to be there when he wrote it.” Thicke also says he was high on a mix of prescription drugs and alcohol during the writing of the song and in interviews following its release. Attorney Howard King says lawyers for the Gaye estate are just trying to prop up their lawsuit that says the 2013 international hit was stolen by writers, including Thicke and Williams. ❏❏❏ DALLAS, Ore. — The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards arrived 45 minutes late for his arraignment on a charge that he violated his probation in Oregon. Polk County Judge Monte Campbell was just about ready to wrap up the court calendar Tuesday when Jesse Helt’s lawyer an- nounced that his client was downstairs. Helt didn’t enter a plea and he’s due back in court next month. He declined to speak with a reporter and flipped off the media as he was driven away from the courthouse. Helt gained worldwide attention last month when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year. It was later learned that Helt was wanted in Oregon for a probation violation stemming from a 2010 arrest. ❏❏❏ LOS ANGELES — Jewel is planning an album for release next fall. But for now, she’s giving away her latest song for free. The once-homeless singer-songwriter wrote “Home to Me” to support the ReThink public housing initiative. She unveiled the track online and performed it in Los Angeles on Tuesday for an intimate audience of public housing administrators and residents. Jewel crowd-sourced further inspiration for the song through an online contest that drew hundreds of essays and poems about what home means. She chose the title of the track from one of the submitted compositions. The 40-year-old entertainer has been busy since announcing her impending divorce from husband Ty Murray in July. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday, Sept. 17, the 260th day of 2014. There are 105 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 17, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland during World War II, more than two weeks after Nazi Germany had launched its assault. On this date: In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was completed and signed by a majority of delegates attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. In 1862, more than 3,600 men were killed in the Civil War Battle of Antietam in Maryland. In 1908, Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge of the U.S. Army Signal Corps became the first person to die in the crash of a powered aircraft, the Wright Flyer, at Fort Myer, Va., just outside Washington, D.C. In 1937, the likeness of President Abraham Lincoln’s head was dedicated at Mount Rushmore. In 1944, during World War II, Allied paratroopers launched Operation Market Garden, landing behind German lines in the Netherlands. (After initial success, the Allies were beaten back by the Germans.) In 1954, the novel “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding was first published by Faber & Faber of London. In 1964, the James Bond movie “Goldfinger,” starring Sean Connery, premiered in London. The fantasy sitcom “Bewitched,” starring Elizabeth Montgomery, debuted on ABC-TV. In 1971, citing health reasons, Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, 85, retired. (Black, who was succeeded by Lewis F. Powell Jr., died eight days after making his announcement.) In 1978, after meeting at Camp David, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed a framework for a peace treaty. In 1984, Progressive Conservative leader Brian Mulroney took office as Canada’s 18th prime minister. In 2011, a demonstration calling itself Occupy Wall Street began in New York, prompting similar protests around the U.S. and the world. Ten years ago: President Vladimir Putin said Russia was “seriously preparing” for pre-emptive strikes against terrorists, as Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev took responsibility for a school hostage-taking and other attacks that had claimed more than 430 lives. San Francisco’s Barry Bonds hit the 700th home run of his career, joining Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755) as the only players to reach the milestone (San Francisco beat San Diego, 4-1). Five years ago: President Barack Obama abruptly canceled a long-planned missile shield for Eastern Europe, replacing a Bush-era project that was bitterly opposed by Russia with a plan he contended would better defend against a growing threat of Iranian missiles. An 18-yearold man armed with an ax, knives and Molotov cocktails attacked his high school in Ansbach, Germany, injuring nine students and a teacher before being shot and arrested. One year ago: Engineers declared success as the Costa Concordia cruise ship was pulled completely upright during an unprecedented, 19-hour operation to wrench it from its side where it had capsized off Tuscany in 2012. Eiji Toyoda, 100, a member of Toyota’s founding family who helped create the super-efficient “Toyota Way” production method, died in Toyota city, Japan.

Froude, an English historian who died in 1894, said, “As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.” It is true that children think they know much more than they do. As we age, we realize that our parents and teachers weren’t as limited as we thought. And many feel that a day without learning something new is a day wasted. Bridge always seems to present new ideas. Take today’s deal as an example. South is in six diamonds. How should he handle the 061 Help Wanted trump suit to maximize the chance of losing at most one trick? And suppose a wheel has come off and South is in seven diamonds. Then what should he do? In the auction, North might have rebid three spades, which would have shown only two-card support because with three spades he would have responded two spades, not one notrump. But with length and strength in the rounded suits, rebidding three notrump was sensible. The only problem revolves around the trump suit. If South must play it for no losers, he has two choices: Cash his ace (hoping East has the singleton king) or lead dummy’s queen (hoping West has the singleton jack). Mathematically, they are equal. In six diamonds, though, I thought the best play was to cash the ace first. But the free software package SuitPlay (suitplay.com) claims that starting with South’s nine is better. If West plays low, declarer ducks in the dummy. And if that loses to East’s jack, South cashes his ace next. The probability of success is 81.3 percent. One lives and learns.
