Gaza
sides
agree
to lull
By KARIN LAUB
and IAN DEITCH
Associated Press
JERUSALEM — IsraelHamas fighting looked
headed for escalation after
U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry failed Friday
to broker a weeklong truce
as a first step toward a
broader deal and Israel’s
defense minister warned
Israel might soon expand
its Gaza ground operation
“significantly.”
Hours after the U.S.-led
efforts stalled, the two
sides agreed to a 12-hour
humanitarian cease-fire to
begin today. However, the
temporary lull was unlikely to change the trajectory
of the current hostilities
amid ominous signs that
the Gaza war is spilling
over into the West Bank.
In a “Day of Rage,”
Palestinians across the
territory, which had been
relatively calm for years,
staged protests against
Israel’s Gaza operation
and the rising casualty toll
there. In the West Bank, at
least six Palestinians were
killed by Israeli fire, hospital officials said.
The latest diplomatic
setbacks, after several
days of high-level diplomacy in the region, signaled that both sides are
digging in and that the
fighting in Gaza is likely
to drag on.
Israel wants more time
to destroy Hamas military
tunnels and rocket launching sites in Gaza, while the
territory’s Hamas rulers
want international guarantees that a Gaza border
blockade will be lifted
before they cease fire.
The Israeli military
said in a statement that
today’s 12-hour pause in
fighting would start at 8
a.m. But it warned that
the
military
“shall
respond if
terrorists
choose to exploit” the lull
to attack Israeli troops “or
fire at Israeli civilians.”
The military also said that
“operational activities to
locate and neutralize tunnels in the Gaza Strip will
continue.”
A Hamas spokesman,
Sami Abu Zuhri, said earlier Friday that the group
had agreed to the 12-hour
lull, intended to allow
civilians to receive aid and
evacuate to safer areas.

Monument in Dunkirk park
honors our military veterans
By VIRGINIA CLINE
Editor’s note: This is the eight
story in The Commercial
Review’s series featuring the
everyday sights, sounds, places
and personalities of Jay County
and the surrounding area.
Flags flying high above the
playground equipment are
noticeable to anyone driving
through Dunkirk City Park. But
what passersby may not see is
the monument they surround.
Tucked inside a grassy circle,
north of the shelter house at the
park is a place called “Veteran’s
Circle.”
The idea for the memorial to
honor veterans was brought to
life by Dunkirk resident Walt
Rodgers and members of
Dunkirk American Legion Post
No 227. Rodgers is a veteran of
the United States Army who
served for three years, six
months and eight days.
Rodgers worked with Mike
Shannon of MJS Mortuaries to
have a large cement monument
created with the inscription “In
honor of all who have served
their country,” and below that
“Dedicated July 4, 2002.”
“We had a big dedication,”
Rodgers said of the celebration,
w American Legion and Sons of
American Legion members,
Dunkirk and Redkey Veterans
of Foreign Wars members, State
Police and firefighters in attendance.
An American flag was
already located at the spot, but
Rodgers and American Legion
members added flags from each
branch of the military to encircle the monument. Flags from
the Air Force, Army, Coast
Guard, Marine Corps and Navy
were placed in alphabetically
order, along with a POW flag.
An Indiana state flag also flies
next to the Stars and Stripes.
Visitors who enter through a
“doorway”, created by hedges
on both side of the sidewalk, are
greeted by a wooden sign with
the words “Walk of Remembrance” carved into it. The sidewalk leads to the monument
and flags. Also on either side of
the monument are concrete
benches for anyone to sit and
reflect.
“Well, it’s quite an honor,”
Rodgers noted of being a part of
creating Veteran’s Circle. To
“Have someplace they can go
look.”
Rodgers takes the flags down
each year on Dec. 7, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and replaces them with new
ones before Memorial Day.
“My boys help me,” Rodgers
said of raising and lowering the
flags.
He has the new flags resewn
each year to make them stronger
to withstand the wind. Dunkirk
residents Marge Holloway or
Phyllis Giddings do the sewing.
New to Veteran’s Circle this
year are flowers, planted by
Dunkirk city councilman Tom
Johnson, and lights around the
monument.
“I’m proud that we have it
there,” said Rodgers.
Obama urges leaders to help
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Pressing for swift action,
President Barack Obama
on Friday urged Central
American presidents and
congressional Republicans
to help ease the influx of
minors and migrant families crossing the southwest
border of the U.S.
He emphasized to the
regional
leaders
that
despite U.S. compassion for
migrant children, those
who do not have a proper
claim to remain in the U.S.
will be turned back.
While citing progress in
stemming the flow, Obama
called on House Republicans to act urgently on his
request for emergency
spending. With one week
left
before
Congress’
August recess, Republicans
on Friday were trying to
unite behind a plan that
would spend about onefourth of the amount in
Obama’s proposal.
“It is my hope that
Speaker Boehner and
House Republicans will not
leave town for the month of
August for their vacations
without doing something
to help solve this problem,”
Obama said after meeting
with Vice President Joe
Biden and the presidents
of Guatemala, Honduras
and El Salvador. “We need
action and less talk.”
Obama played down a
proposed pilot program
that his administration is
considering that would
give refugee status to
young people from Honduras. White House officials said the plan, which
could be expanded to
Guatemala and El Salvador,
would
involve

screening youths in their
home countries to determine whether they qualify
for refugee status.
Obama said such an
effort would affect only a
small number of asylum
seekers.
“There may be some narrow circumstances in
which there is humanitarian or refugee status that a
family might be eligible
for,” he said. If that were
the case it would be better
for them to apply in-country rather than take a very
dangerous journey up to
Texas to make those same
claims. But I think it’s
important to recognize that
that would not necessarily
accommodate a large number
of
additional
migrants.”
Guatemalan President
Otto Perez Molina said
Obama urged the region to
work with the U.S. to
resolve the immediate crisis and also that it develop
a medium- and long-term
plan to prevent such a
flight of migrants in the
future.

Doctors arrested
after clinic raids
CARMEL, Ind. (AP) — Four
doctors who supposedly ran a
system of clinics aimed at helping addicts kick painkillers
were illegally selling a drug
that’s supposed to aid in rehabilitation, authorities said Friday.
Federal Drug Enforcement
Administration agents and
local police officers raided clinics Friday morning in Carmel,
Noblesville, Muncie, Kokomo
and Centerville following an
undercover operation that
began in 2011.

Hamilton County Jail north of
Indianapolis on a $1 million
bond on drug-dealing charges.
A jail officer did not know if
Ley, who prosecutors say was
the leader of the operation, had
an attorney. A dozen additional
suspects, including three other
doctors, were either under
arrest or being sought by police.
“This was exploiting some
people who were really in need
for profit,” said Dennis Wichern, assistant special agent in
charge at the DEA’s Indianapolis office.

U.S. accuses
Russia of lying
By DAVID McHUGH
Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine —
Russia is launching
artillery
attacks
from its soil on
Ukrainian troops and
preparing to move
heavier
weaponry
across the border, the
U.S. and Ukraine
charged Friday in
what appeared to be
an ominous escalation of the crisis.
Russia
accused
Washington of lying
and charged Ukraine
with firing across the
border on a Russian
village. It also toughened its economic
measures
against
Ukraine by banning
dairy
imports.
Andriy Lysenko, a
spokesman
for
Ukraine’s National
Security and Defense
Council, said five
salvos of heavy rockets were fired across
the border near the
town of Kolesnikov
in
the
Luhansk
region in the country’s east. A border
crossing point near
Marynovka was fired
on twice with mortars, also from the
Russian side, while
Ukrainian
forces
shot down three
Russian
drones,
Lysenko said. If true,
the allegations mean
Moscow is playing a
more direct role in
the fighting than it
has been accused of
up to now — a dangerous turn in what
is already the gravest
crisis between Russia and the West
since the end of the
Cold War.

DEAR ABBY: I am an 18year-old high school senior who is scared about
what’s going to happen
after graduation. For the
past three years I have
known exactly where I’ll
be and what I will be doing
in the general sense. Now
that I have one more year
to go, I’m worried that I
won’t know what to do or
how to do it when I graduate. I have talked to counselors and my dad, but
they all say the same
thing. Do you have any
advice? — UNEASY IN

DEAR ABBY: In 1972
when I was 12, my father
found out that I was gay,
although that wasn’t the
word he used. After a
severe beating that landed
me in the hospital, I realized that to survive I was
going to have to live
“straight.” Eventually I
married, and for almost 25
years I was relatively
happy. My wife died of
cancer five years ago, and
now I need to move on.
Can someone my age
enter gay society? One
thing I have noticed is that
it can be more difficult for
older gay men than
straight. Any suggestions
or should I just continue
living the lie? — AT A

Roommates have been a challenge
By SAMM QUINN
From the time I was born, I’ve
always lived with another person.
As a baby, I rented crib space
with my twin sister and we continued to live in the same space
until I left for college.
Once I was in college, I had
some type of roommate through
graduation. And post-college, I
moved in with Spencer.
Because I’m an extrovert I
loved having roommates. I don’t
want to go home to an empty
house, cook alone or watch
Grey’s Anatomy by myself. But
I think most extroverts will
agree there are times they’d
wish they lived alone.
Let’s start from the beginning.
Alex is my identical twin sister. I’m wired to love her, but I
didn’t always love living with
her.
She is very messy and unorganized, which speaks volumes
coming from me because I’m
also unorganized. If you saw
my desk at work you’d probably
wonder how I ever find any-
Say it
Again
Samm
thing. But, I don’t like things
dirty.
Alex leaves dirty clothes on
the floor, clean clothes in the
hamper (where they get wrinkled because she doesn’t fold
them right away), cups of coffee
on the carpet and candy under
her bed.
She’s also really loud. The girl
probably weighs 110 pounds but
if you heard her coming down
the stairs, you’d think she was
an elephant.
In addition to being loud,
she’s always late.
During high school, we’d have
to leave the house by 6:50 a.m. to
get to school on time and she
wouldn’t wake up until 6:45. She
consistently made us late.
But her most annoying habit
is her inability to wake up after
her second alarm. She will hit
the snooze button for an hour
unaware that every time her
Ke$ha ringtone blares, it wakes
everyone else in the room.
Living with her, however, was
better than most of my college
cohabitation experiences.
My first roommate my freshman year of college was a sweet
girl, but about halfway through
the semester she allowed her
significant other to move in
with us. Each of them had body
odor issues, and they bought a
chair from Goodwill that
smelled even worse.
I spent the second half of the
semester sleeping on a mattress
I set up in a friends’ room and
looking for a new roommate.
During my senior year, some
of my sorority sisters wanted to
live in an on-campus house and
invited me to be one of the
roommates. I’d be living with
my sister Tess, who had a similar schedule to mine. I thought
it would work out great.
After one of the girls decided
not to move into the house, Tess
and I each got our own room,
which seemed awesome.
I’d still be living with people,
but I would also have my own
space and a huge closet all to
myself.
It was a great experience, but
we definitely had our issues.
Eight girls living in one house
created a lot of drama, and I
always seemed to be the referee
for those fights and very seldom was the one arguing.
That was until my roommate
began using my toothbrush.
I woke up one morning and
went to the bathroom to wash
my face and brush my teeth. I
found my toothbrush was wet
and knew it couldn’t have been
from the night before.
My roommate Natalie was in
the bathroom at the same time,
and I asked her if she knew
why my toothbrush was wet.
Natalie informed me she
thought it was my other roommate’s toothbrush because she
had just brushed her teeth with
it.
I went straight to CVS and
bought a new one. Not many
things gross me out, but sharing a toothbrush is one of
them.
When I asked my roommate
if she had used it, she said she
hadn’t, but I knew from experience not to trust her.
On top of hijacking my toothbrush, she had been using my
shampoo and conditioner for
weeks instead of buying her
own. And I had found some of
my belongings that went missing throughout the year in her
bedroom.
By the time graduation
neared, I was ready to move out
of the house.
I knew I didn’t want to live
alone so I decided to move in
with someone I trusted.
So far Spencer has been a
great roommate. He usually
cleans up after himself, only
sets two alarms, didn’t purchase a smelly chair and uses
his own toothbrush, which
makes him a better roommate
than the others I’ve mentioned.
He’s awesome, and I sure
hope he’s my last roommate
because I’ve had enough bad
roommates to last the rest of
my lifetime.
If this doesn’t work out, I
may just have to live by myself.
Changes coming
to CR’s web site
By RAY COONEY
More changes are here.
A little more than a
year ago in this space I
wrote about the changes
was experiencing. They
included vast staffing
changes and an effort to
expand local coverage.
The changes are continuing.
The CR will launch its
new web site Monday.
One of our goals when
designing the new site
was to make better use of
the overall space. So
we’ve removed the lefthand
column
that
includes a list of sections
and the right-hand column that contains small
advertisements and occasionally a poll.
Sections links — news,
sports, opinion, family,
obituaries, etc. — will
instead be organized at
the top of the page. With
them will be links for
users to log in, subscribe,
click through to our Facebook or Twitter pages
and search the site.
With the expanded
space, we’ll be doing a
better job of displaying
the most important local
news. Our top stories will
be displayed, with photos, prominently near the
top of the page.
The
advertisements
that used to be in the
right-hand column will
instead be interspersed
throughout the web site.
They’ll also be larger
(300x250 instead of the
current 100x100), which
we hope will be more
attractive to consumers
and more enticing for
advertisers.
There will be obvious
cosmetic changes as well,
most notably the shift to
a green, black and white
color
scheme.
The
“Today’s edition” link
will move from the upper
left corner of the web site
to the lower right. And
we’ll shift to a three-column format from the current two.
But perhaps the biggest
change will not be in the
look of our web site, but
in how we operate.
In the past, we’ve covered meetings, games and
local events, sent them to
Rays
of
Insight
Our top
stories will be
displayed,
with photos,
prominently
near the top
of the page.
Ryan rediscovers his roots
press for the newspaper
about noon the next day
and then posted those stories to the web site. Now,
our online coverage will
be far more timely.
Instead of
waiting
until the next day, our
reporters
will
head
straight back to the office
following events in order
to post a summary —
about 100 words — on the
web site. We’ll then send
notifications via Facebook and Twitter.
No longer will you have
to wait until the next day
to know what happened.
We’ll then follow that
short post by posting the
full story after the newspaper is complete, just as
we have for years.
It’s a step toward
immediacy in the everchanging
journalism
world as we try to balance print and web.
No doubt there will be
some growing pains, for
you and for us, as the new
web site is introduced.
Change always causes
some unforeseen issues.
In the long run though,
we believe the new web
site will help us serve you
better.
Bloomberg News
It’s rare for a prominent politician
to publicly rethink his position on
one of his signature issues. Paul
Ryan has just done so — and deserves
credit for it.
The Republican chairman of the
House Budget Committee Thursday
released a thoughtful blueprint for
overhauling $800 billion worth of U.S.
anti-poverty programs. He doesn’t get
every detail right, but Ryan has put
forth a politically brave and economically sound proposal.
In contrast to the exercises in Dickensian austerity that are his annual
spending plans, it’s revenue-neutral,
meaning it would neither increase
nor decrease the deficit. That it’s
Ryan’s should challenge Republicans
to reconsider their zeal for cutting
spending on the poor while doing little to raise taxes or cut benefits for the
wealthy.
It may even provide the wedge with
which the reformicons — a so-called
group of conservative reformers that
includes Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Mike Lee of Utah — can bring
some reason and common sense to
party discussions about spending.
It is certainly a foundation on
which conservatives can build. One
of the plan’s proposals would combine 11 current programs — including food stamps, child care, housing
subsidies and what remains of traditional welfare — into something
called Opportunity Grants. It sounds
like a block-grant program, the anathema of liberals because they distrust
the states’ ability (or will) to distribute grants fairly, and it comes with a
Guest
Editorial
big exception: States can opt in only
if their plans pass federal-government muster.
If conditions warrant it, why
shouldn’t states direct less money to
housing and more toward, say, transporting low-income workers to jobs?
Such flexibility isn’t possible now. For
recipients, one-stop shopping could
replace standing in line at various
locations for various benefits, almost
a full-time job in itself.
Another proposal would require
beneficiaries to write a “life plan.”
Yes, it sounds like some kind of
group-therapy exercise, but it also
makes sense. These plans would
include deadlines for completing high
school, job training or counseling.
They would have incentives for finishing as well as consequences for
failure.
The working poor would also get
new help through an enhanced
earned income tax credit. Here, Ryan
agrees with President Barack Obama
that childless adults should be eligible for the credit. He wisely recommends including the credit in recipients’ paychecks, rather than when
they file a tax return, if they do.
So what’s not to like? The track
record of Republican governors who
have refused to expand their Medi-
caid programs under the Affordable
Care Act, at no cost to their states, is
worrisome. Would the same governors take advantage of Ryan’s Opportunity Grants to slash benefits and
shrink the size of government?
Ryan doesn’t address this, and his
plan explicitly protects only the lowincome elderly and disabled from
benefit cuts. A “do no harm” requirement, in which participating states
must show they can achieve equal or
better outcomes than existing federal
programs, could help address this
concern. An annual inflation adjustment to the Opportunity Grants program would also help to make sure it
keeps serving its purpose.
As the House Republicans’ fiscalpolicy expert, Ryan’s budgets proposed deep cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and other social
programs to appeal to those in his
party whose overriding desire seems
to be to cut spending on social programs. This time, he has avoided such
kowtowing.
With this proposal, Ryan has
returned to the fold of the late Rep.
Jack Kemp of New York, his mentor,
who wanted to cut spending but also
reduce poverty. Like Kemp, Ryan
wants the government to help the
poor yet still hold them accountable.
There is and always will be a tension inherent in government programs for the poor — between providing assistance and discouraging
dependence. For too long, the Republican Party has paid too much attention to the latter at the expense of the
former. One promise of Ryan’s plan is
that it may shift his party’s focus.

Dunkirk couple
restores old ‘76’
By TED JOHNSON
DUNKIRK — Eric and
Tracy Bowler are trying to
recreate some memories
of their childhood.
The Dunkirk couple,
who own E & T Tree and
Landscape, purchased the
former
Adams
Auto
Repair building located at
206 N. Main St. in order to
transform the look of the
building into a vintage
Union 76 service station.
The structure was built
in 1961 and served as a
Pure gas station. It was
later converted into a
Union 76 station.
Eric said he and his wife
used to run down to “the
76” to buy a cold drink in
glass bottles when they
were kids.
“It was the hot spot to
get a cold pop,” Tracy said.
That memory prompted
The Commercial Review the couple to buy the
building in January with
Al Pettus hangs a vintage sign at what will soon be Bowler’s hopes of restoring that
Collision and Repair. The former Adams Automotive building is being restored classic Union 76 look that
they had loved growing
to the look it had as a Union 76 service station.
up.
The original plan when
the building was bought
was to continue letting
occupant Danny Adams
run his auto repair shop
while they changed the
look and feel of the building. But shortly after buying the property Adams
passed away.
Eric said the reason he
bought the building in the
first place was because
when he saw it for sale he
was afraid someone else
would purchase it and tear
it down.
After Adams’ death,
Eric decided to continue
with the building renovation plans and use the
facility as an office for his
landscaping company as
well as continuing to use it
as an auto repair shop
named “Bowler’s Collision
and Repair.”
He is in the process of
finding a mechanic to hire
for the shop.
Eric has always found
joy in vintage looks and
antique items. So when he
hired Dunkirk residents
Al Pettus to do the renovations and Afton Hines to
handle the paint work he
expected them to bring the
classic Union 76 feel to life.
So far he has been satisfied with the work done.
But Eric wanted to put his
own touches on the building by hanging some of
the vintage signs he owns.
Eric has been collecting
old signs and memorabilia
for nearly five years, filling his entire barn full.
Through local connections and online research
he was able to gather a
variety of unique signs
from many different time
periods.
Eric and Tracy plan to
open the business this
summer, but restorations
won’t be finished until
next year. “I just want to
finish it to how it was in
the 1970’s,” Eric said.
The couple will continue to tweak the look of the
building until they are satisfied with how it compares to what they remember growing up.
Ardagh to close New Jersey plant
Ardagh Group, which
acquired Verallia North
America and its Dunkirk
glass container plant earlier
this
year,
has
announced it is closing its
plant in Salem, N.J.
The plant, which had
been part of Anchor
Glass, employed 290 people.
The Irish Independent
reported this week that
the New Jersey plant will
close on Oct. 15.
One of the oldest glass
container plants in the
U.S., the Salem factory
marked its 150th anniversary last year. It produced
about 780 million bottles a
year.
Ardagh sold six former
Anchor plants in order to
satisfy the Federal Trade
Commission’s concerns
about the Verallia acquisition.
Ardagh is reportedly
planning a public offering
of stock in 2015.
Union officials in New
Jersey speculated that the
closing was related to the
loss of a contract to make
bottles for Snapple and
Yoo-hoo.

“We continued to see

noted that sales increased

with the City of Portland
Board of Zoning Appeals a petition, # VAR2014-07-01, requesting a Variance to the
zoning regulations, to wit:
Parcel
ID:
38-07-20-401020.000-034
Location: 210 S Meridian St,
Portland IN, Wayne Township, Section 20
Action Requested: The wall
signage that was installed
(without a permit) on the east
side of the building is larger
in area than allowed per the
City of Portland Zoning Ordinance. According to Ordinance Section 8.14-1(A) "The
face of any permanent identity sign shall not exceed one
hundred (l00) square feet in
area", and Section 8.14-2(A)
"...in no instance shall such
signage exceed one hundred
(100) square feet for a single
business". The signage that
has been installed is approximately 156 square feet in
overall size and the applicant
is asking for a variance from
the development standards of
the Ordinance to keep this signage.
The petition and file on this
matter are available at the
Jay/Portland Building and

Eyes ...
He feels his results could
be much better.
“I was talking the other
day to my Indy car race
engineers and said, ‘It’s a
shame the 500 was the first
race this year on an oval,’”
Montoya said. “Now that
I’ve raced more races, I look
back on it and say, ‘I should
have put this much more
front wing in, I should have
done this and should have
done that but didn’t know
what to expect.’”
Montoya doesn’t have
that problem at Indy, where
he’s familiar with the track
and the car. Penske sent
him to Michigan in June as
a warm-up and he finished
18th, but used the opportunity to work with his pit
crew for the first time and
get accustomed to Penske
drivers Joey Logano and
Brad Keselowski.
What he learned — and
struggled with on Friday —
is that he doesn’t prefer the
setup
Logano
and
Keselowski use and needs
track time to get the car to
his liking.
“It seems like the race
pace is pretty good and I
think I’ve been pretty good
here and I know what I
want out of the car,” he
said. “So that makes it a lot
easier so we know what we
need to work on to be a little
better.”
Four-time
Brickyard
winner Jimmie Johnson
noted how quickly Montoya got to the winner’s circle in IndyCar, but wasn’t
sure if there’s enough time
between Friday’s opening
practice and Sunday’s race
start for Montoya to get
back up to speed.
“I think it is a tough
task,” Johnson said. “I
think we all know and
understand how talented
he is in a race car ... it will
take him time here. Hopefully he can get the laps that
he needs to get up to speed.
I think he’ll be toward the
front. It’s just so tough to be
the guy and to find that last
half a tenth it takes to succeed when you’re out of the
seat and not in the seat.
“That’s the part that he
might not have, but with
strategy and other opportunities that this racetrack
provides. I’m not saying
that he can’t win because
he absolutely can win
here.”

Cubs hand Cardinals fourth-straight loss
CHICAGO (AP) — The
Chicago Cubs don’t have
the look of a team more
interested in draft position
than on-field success.
One day after the Central
Division
cellardwellers couldn’t have
looked worse in a 13-3
embarrassment against
the lowly San Diego
Padres, they showed some
grit in a come-frombehind, 7-6 victory over the
St. Louis Cardinals, who
suffered their fourth consecutive loss on Friday.
A persistent wind at
their backs, the division
rivals treated the largest
crowd at Wrigley Field this
season to five home runs
and 23 hits.
“A good team win,” said
manager Rick Renteria,
whose club trailed 3-0
before even getting a
chance to bat. “The crowd
was buzzing all day. It was a
pretty neat environment.

“I was looking for a fastball, and I got a fastball
right there,” Valbuena said.
“That’s why I got aggressive.”
“We had the match-ups
we wanted right there,”
Cardinals manager Mike
Matheny said. “We wanted
(a left-hander) in that situation, in that part of the lineup, and a lefty ended up getting him.”
The Cardinals tied the

Holliday in the fifth inning.

A year ago, Werner was trying to
balance his football studies with
trying to fit in. When he checked in
Wednesday, Werner seemed confident and at ease with the expectations.
“Last year, Rob got all the sacks
for himself. We need some people to
step up and get some sacks, too, put
that pressure on the quarterback,”
Werner said. “If you put that pressure on the quarterback, you’re
going to win a lot of games.”
But the Colts know it will take
more than one guy to make up for
Mathis’ impact. In 2013, Mathis
broke the franchise’s career
record for sacks and set a new a
team single-season record with a
league best 19.5 sacks.
The rest of the Colts’ defense
produced just 22.5 sacks.
Pagano is counting on veterans
such as D’Qwell Jackson, Cam
Johnson, Arthur Jones, Josh
McNary and Erik Walden and

“I’m definitely more comfortable with the scheme, the adjustments and the team,” said
Walden, now in his second season
in Indy. “I just have to play my
game and be consistent, and I
think we all have to pick up the
slack.”
Pagano also has defensive coordinator Greg Manusky refining
the playbook with some new blitz
packages.
Meanwhile, Mathis is not complaining.
Since his efforts to appeal the
ruling were rejected by league
officials, the Alabama A&M alum
has been preparing for this
unusual role of being a sort of
player-coach at training camp and
celebrating the birth of his 6-dayold daughter.
“I kiss my baby and wait for my
turn,” he said when asked if the
looming suspension weighs on
him.

Montoya eyes
win at Brickyard
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Juan Pablo Montoya is
back at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway — one night only,
an encore of sorts, in a
guest-starring role for
Team Penske.
The
Colombian
is
entered in the Brickyard
400 for the explicit purpose
of winning at Indy in
NASCAR and giving team
owner Roger Penske one of
the few trophies missing
from his collection.
Montoya is not looking
for a good points day Sunday and doesn’t care about
a top-10 finish.
It’s checkered flag or
bust.
“With the position I’m in
here, it’s do or die,” Montoya said Friday. “I don’t
care about finishing fifth or
sixth or seventh.”
Montoya left NASCAR at
the end of last season,
when his contract was not
renewed by Chip Ganassi.
He jumped to IndyCar to
drive for Ganassi rival
Penske, who has given
Montoya the opportunity to
return to the Brickyard to
get the win that got away.
Although he won the
Indianapolis 500 in 2000,
Montoya went 0-for-7 at
Indy during his NASCAR
days. But he was oh-so-close
at least twice, and many
believe Montoya coughed
those wins away.
He led 116 laps in 2009
until a speeding penalty on
his final pit stop cost him
the win, and he was out
front the next year with 20
laps remaining until an illtimed caution ruined his
day. Montoya went to pit
road and got four tires
while everyone else took
two. Stuck deep in traffic
with little time to make up
the ground, he crashed and
finished 32nd.
“Yeah, once or twice, and
I probably coulda, shoulda
and would’ve won the 500
this year as well,” he said.
“But coulda, woulda and
should’ve doesn’t count. At
least I had a chance and I
still think I’ve got a good
chance this year.”
Montoya was back at the
Brickyard in May for the
Indianapolis 500, where he
was confident he had a shot
at drinking the celebratory
milk for the second time in
his storied career. Although
he led three times for 16
laps, he finished a distant
fifth as Penske teammate
Helio Castroneves battled
winner Ryan Hunter-Reay
down to the wire. Now 14
races into his IndyCar
return, Montoya has hit a
groove and is beginning to
resemble the driver who
won the 1999 CART championship. He won at Pocono
and has five top-10 finishes.

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP)
— Robert Mathis has
never been through a
training camp quite like
this.
He’s not fighting for a
job, not fighting to prove he
can start, not even fighting
for practice time. Instead,
he’s spending part of these
warm, summer training
camp days watching the
guys trying to replace him.
No, the NFL’s reigning
sacks king isn’t contemplating retirement or free
agency, it’s just that the
Colts coaches and his
teammates are preparing
now for his September suspension.
Mathis will miss the first
four regular season games
after using for a performance-enhancing substance,
which he said was a result
of fertility treatments. He
is allowed to participate in
training camp and preseason games.
“I just go out and maximize the reps that I get,”
Mathis said Friday, noting
he would normally take
some time off at Anderson
University
anyway
because he’s a veteran.
This year, it’s not a
choice. The Colts will not
have Mathis around for the
season-opener against Peyton Manning’ Broncos, the
pass-happy Eagles in Week
2 or back-to-back division
games
against
Jacksonville and Tennessee.
Mathis can return for the
Oct. 5 game against Baltimore.
Coach Chuck Pagano is
already working on the
backup plan. He wants
Mathis to get enough work
so he’s not rusty when he
returns and still needs to
find replacements.
Bjoern Werner is the
first option at outside linebacker as he splits snaps
with Mathis and played in
his spot.
The Colts took the German No. 24 overall in the
2013 draft, hoping he would
complement Mathis’ passrushing skills. But the AllAmerican defensive lineman hurt his knee in training camp, was slowed by
injuries throughout the
season and wound up with
only 15 tackles, 2.5 sacks
and knocked away three
passes. Over the final
month of the season,
Werner started to flash the
promise the Colts saw on
his college tapes.
Today, he looks like a different player. He returned
one interception for a
touchdown and batted
another ball that was
picked off
and also
returned for a score on the
opening day of camp.
“He’s made a huge
jump,”
Pagano
said,
explaining how Werner
spent most of the offseason
working out in Indianapolis. “He’s really put in the
time, he knows the defense,
he’s really comfortable. We
know he’s got the ability,
but it’s all a byproduct of
the time he’s put in.”
Werner even sounds different.
