Saturday, August 15, 2015 The Commercial Review Portland, Indiana 47371 Greece bailout program gets OK 75 cents www.thecr.com A smooth shift By LORNE COOK and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG Associated Press BRUSSELS — Finance ministers of the 19-nation euro single currency group on Friday approved the first 26 billion euros ($29 billion) of a vast new bailout package to help rebuild Greece’s shattered economy. The approval came after Greece’s parliament passed a slew of painful reforms and spending cuts after a marathon overnight session that divided the governing party, raising the specter of early elections. “Of course there were differences but we have managed to solve the last issues,” Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Djisselbloem told reporters in Brussels. “All the intense work of the past week has paid off.” Ten billion euros will be available to recapitalize Greece banks, while a second slice of 16 billion euros will be paid in installments, starting with 13 billion euros by Aug. 20 when Greece must make a new debt payment to the European Central Bank. “On this basis, Greece is will irreversibly and remain a member of the Euro area,” said European President Commission Jean-Claude Juncker after the deal was sealed. The final rescue package would eventually give Greece up to 86 billion euros ($93 billion) in loans over three years in exchange for harsh spending cuts and tax hikes. The deal must still be approved by some national parliaments, including Germany, but that is largely considered to be a formality. Some nations, such as Finland, have already given their approval. The move saves Greece from a disorderly default on its debts which could have come as soon as next week and helps end months of uncertainty. Photo provided from JCHS yearbook Though there was some concern about how the five previous schools would mix together, students from the first graduating class at Jay County High School remember a smooth transition. Whether it was as members of the marching band (pictured), 4-H, athletics, vocational classes or other activities, the students came together as Patriots. First JCHS students merged easily Editor’s note: This is the 10th and final story in our in a series about Jay County’s consolidation to a single high school. By KATHRYNE RUBRIGHT The Commercial Review In the fall of 1975, after the last classes had graduated from Bryant, Dunkirk, Pennville, Portland and Redkey high schools, the students who had started high school in those buildings became the first students to attend Jay County High School. What an Indiana University study had suggested 10 years ear- lier — a single high school for the county — was a reality. Mike Rockwell attended Portland High School before Jay County. It was the largest school before the consolidation, but “it was still a little intimidating” to switch to a new building, he said. For Tim Miller, who was coming in from Bryant, where a class might have 20 to 25 students, Jay County was a “completely different culture change” that meant getting used to a “massive amount of kids.” That wasn’t a factor for Nancy Collins Rines, who, like Rock- well, came in from Portland, which contributed about 200 students to the class of 1976. To her, a new building was exciting. “It was nice to go into everything that was shiny and new,” she said. Collins Rines had been part of a committee that worked to make the transition smooth. Students from the five schools met with teachers and administrators at the different schools, as well as in the home of Jay County High School’s first principal, James Elbert. “They wanted to make things almost stricter in the beginning” because they knew they could loosen up later more easily than imposing more rules, Collins Rines said. The committee’s decisions seemed to have the desired effect. The transition “went really smooth,” Rockwell said. The former Owls, Speedcats, Bulldogs, Panthers and Wolves became Jay County Patriots, a mascot chosen because the class of 1976 was graduating 200 years after the founding of the United States. See Shift page 2 Man draws life terms By TOM COYNE Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. — An Indianapolis man should have known the likely outcome of blowing up a house at a time when most people were home, a judge said Friday, calling him the “prime mover” in the scheme who deserved consecutive life sentences without parole for killing two neighbors. St. Joseph County Superior Court Judge John Marnocha also sentenced Mark Leonard, 46, to another 75 years on arson and conspiracy charges, dismissing arguments by his attorneys that he wasn’t the person who physically caused the November 2012 blast that destroyed or damaged more than 80 homes. “He was not a bystander who got caught up in the plans of others,” Marnocha said. “He made the plans.” Marnocha said Leonard turned the house into a bomb in what prosecutors described as a plot to trigger a natural gas explosion at his then-girlfriend’s home to collect $300,000 in insurance. A jury convicted Leonard on July 14 of murder, arson and conspiracy. Homeowner Monserrate Shirley has pleaded guilty to two conspiracy charges as part of a plea agreement, and Leonard’s half brother and two others are awaiting trial. The judge started the hearing by deciding that Leonard should be sentenced to life without parole because prosecutors had proved three factors — more than one person was killed, an explosion was involved and 34-year-old John “Dion” Longworth had burned to death. Longworth’s 36year-old wife, Jennifer, was killed instantly.

SALT LAKE CITY — A river in Colorado that was turned sickly yellow by a mine waste spill reopened Friday after the now-diluted toxic plume passed through and reached Lake Powell — a huge reservoir 300 miles downstream that feeds the Colorado River and supplies water to the Southwest. Water officials, however, said the plume that includes lead, arsenic and other heavy metals now presents little danger to users beyond Lake Powell — such as the city of Las Vegas — because the contaminants will further settle out and be diluted in the reservoir along the UtahArizona border. “We’re kind of at the end of the road,” said Erica Gaddis, assistant director of the Utah Division of Water Quality. The initial spill involved more than 3 million gallons of waste from the Gold King Mine into the Animus River, but that Deaths Weather In review Naomi Toumey, 94, Bremen Details on page 2.

There had been worry about how previous rivalries might manifest at the consolidated school, Rockwell said, but “once we went to the same school there was really no rivalry.” Miller said there had been talk about how the Dunkirk versus Redkey or Bryant versus Portland rivalries might continue, but once school started, that didn’t actually happen. Collins Rines attended football games and performed with the other majorettes, an activity she started at Portland High School and continued at Jay County. “I don’t remember anyone saying anything bad or negative” about how the five schools’ teams mixed together, she said. Even though the rivalries disappeared, the students still tended to associate with their long-time classmates more than their new ones, said Jim Jenney, who went on to work in heating and air conditioning before buying Display Craft. “It was kind of a deal where we got threw into this,” Jenney said, noting like Rockwell, that there had been some uncertainty at first. At graduation, Rockwell heard the names of kids he’d never known called. Because of a work release program, “I was only there half the day, Lower Your Insurance Rate. All It Takes Is One Call!

Jenney, another student in the program, had the same experience. He didn’t get to know too many new people in his last year of high school. “I’ve met more since I’ve been out (of school),” he said. The work release program also meant Rockwell didn’t have to make one of the adjustments some of his classmates did. At Portland, students had been allowed to leave the school for lunch. That tradition ended for most Jay County students, but Rockwell and others in the work release program could leave after at midday and head to McDonald’s before scattering to their jobs in the afternoon. Collins Rines was another student who left early; for her, it was to take dance classes at Ball State University. But it didn’t mean she didn’t know her knew classmates. “I knew a lot of the kids through 4H,” she said. Collins Rines went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in dance from Ball State and a master’s degree in it from Butler University. She left the area to teach at a dance school in Pittsburgh before opening The Dancer’s Studio in Portland. Miller, who now owns T.J.’s Bicycle and Moped Sales and Service in Portland, said Bryant High School’s small size made the atmosphere “more personable” there. But “I loved Jay County High School,” he said. Having more students meant Jay County could offer more opportunities; Miller got to learn about auto mechanics there, which he wouldn’t have been able to do if he’d completed his high school career at Bryant. “It was a little mini-campus out there,” he said, referring to all the space Jay County had devoted to auto mechanics, woodworking, agriculture and other vocational studies. “The vocational classes were phenomenal.” For Collins Rines, the vocational classes meant that there were lots of areas of the building she didn’t get to know in her one year. Over the past 40 years, she’s discovered more parts of the building but still hasn’t seen every area of the school she graduated from. “That’s kind of funny still, all these years later,” she said. Capsule Reports Trailer struck A Fort Recovery man’s trailer was struck by an unknown vehicle Friday in Noble Township. Terrell M. Bias, 68, 300 Ohio 119 West, was southbound on State Line Road near Division Road when a northbound vehicle went left of center and struck the fender of the trailer he was pulling with his 1999 Ford F450. The other vehicle left the scene, and because of dust on the stone road Bias only saw that it was a small blue car. Damage in the 12:05 p.m. accident was estimated less than $1,000.

DEAR ABBY: Recently, my husband was asked to be the best man at his friend’s wedding. The happy couple did not have the financial means to hire a photographer, so I was asked to take pictures of the ceremony and reception. I’m not a professional photographer, and the bride knows that. I gladly photographed the nuptials on the couple’s big day. Of course, I charged them nothing for doing it. I am now on the receiving end of insulting comments regarding the photos I took. When the bride rudely voiced her displeasure, I was taken aback. I did nothing less than my very best to accommodate her, and I have received nothing but ingratitude and disrespect for my efforts. I believe in keeping commitments I have made. I intend to complete the edits of the original photos and create a wedding album as I promised. However, how do I tactfully address the situation with the bride if she “reminds” me again of my lack of professional photography skills? — SAD NEWBIE PHOTOGRAPHER D E AR P HOTOGRAPHER: Alas, it seems that no good deed goes unpunished. The next time the bride “reminds” you, all you have to do is “suggest” that for the next happy occasion she spend some money and hire a professional instead of hitting up a friend for a freebie and then complaining about the result. DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, “Riley,” who is the sweetest woman I know. She’s in her mid-20s and has a stable job, but I’m afraid she is setting herself up. She rescues animals that are terminal or nearly so. She’s great with them and should become a veterinarian. A few she has brought back to health, but others just can’t be saved. My concern is that when Riley loses one, she breaks down. She cries for hours on end, but the minute she gets a call, she willingly takes in another one. She’s like a sister to me, and I respect and admire her determination to care for these creatures and give them love when no one else will. How can I nicely say to her that I think she shouldn’t accept any more rescues because she will only continue to get more depressed? — CONCERNED FRIEND IN GEORGIA DEAR C ONC ERNE D: There is no nice way to say that to your friend. What you CAN say is that you are concerned about her because of the depression she experiences when she can’t save one of her animals. For an animal lover, the loss of a pet is painful and personal, and her reaction isn’t unusual. DEAR ABBY: I am hoping you can clear this up. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I had some of his family members over for a visit. It was very casual, as usual, more like a Sunday afternoon dropin. I came out of our room barefoot, because I usually walk around that way in the house. I was scolded by his grandmother and told I was rude to walk around barefoot when there is company. Was she right? — BAREFOOT CONTESSA DEAR BAREFOOT: No. She was out of line to criticize you. If people choose to go shoeless in their own home, it’s really nobody else’s business.

To my surprise, despite having a Republican mayor and Republican-dominated city council, Carmel is expected to join the list of Indiana cities with anti-discrimination ordinances that cover sexual orientation and gender identity. (And when I say “expected,” six out of seven council members are sponsoring the proposal, so it’s an understatement to say its chances of passing are good.) Carmel joins Bloomington, Evansville, Hammond, Indianapolis, New Albany, South Bend, Terre Haute and West Lafayette, as well as Marion and Monroe counties, in having this protection. Kathryne Rubright Fort Wayne, Lafayette and Michigan City have protection for sexual orientation alone, along with Tippecanoe County. It’s great that these cities and counties are passing this legislation. It’s not great that in other cities that have considered similar ordinances, citizens have been strongly campaigning against them. I’d say campaigning against non-discrimination is effective- A flier the group distributed in Goshen was anything but accurately educational. It claimed the ordinance would give male rapists and child molesters access to women’s restrooms, dressing rooms and shower areas. That’s not how it works at all, Advance America. That’s not how gender identity works at all. I’ve never heard of any man claiming to be transgender just to get into a women’s restroom. No, what I hear about is people not coming out as transgender because they’re afraid of what could happen when there aren’t protections like what Goshen considered putting in place. Among other things, the flier also claimed the ordinance would “elevate sexual activity over religious freedom in ly the same as campaigning for the right to discriminate. In Goshen, misinformation led to the mayor and city council members agreeing not to vote on a non-discrimination ordinance. That’s especially disappointing given that 31 local clergy members — a group not necessarily expected to show support for this — had previously sent a letter to the council asking it to show support for the ordinance. Thanks to Advance America, which describes itself as “Indiana’s premier pro-family and pro-church organization” and has fliers that make the hilarious claim of being distributed by “a non-partisan educational organization,” misinformation won out and pushed local government into doing nothing. Goshen,” which doesn’t make sense. I’m not sure how anyone’s sex life affects anyone else’s religious freedom, but it seems to be an effective fear-mongering phrase. The story was similar in Elkhart: Advance America built opposition based on misinformation and the mayor asked for the ordinance to be withdrawn from consideration. What good does this do anyone? The only people who benefit are those who like being allowed to discriminate based on sexual orientation of gender identity. They get to keep doing that. Meanwhile, people who would have benefited from the ordinance are left without protections that ought be automatic in the first place.

Uber is one of many new companies eager to act not as suppliers but as platforms — offering smartphone apps that connect drivers with riders, apartments with travelers, handymen with homeowners. Such arrangements are often known as the “sharing economy.” They’re starting to take off, and they pose something of a challenge to policy makers and regulators. For the platform owners, the logic is powerful: Use next to no physical capital, employ almost no workers, assume few risks and take your cut of each transaction. For customers, it’s just as sweet: Get more of what you want more easily, and pay less for it. For worker-suppliers, it’s a mixed bag: Profit from greater demand for what you have to sell and from easier access to buyers — but sometimes for less pay, and without the employee benefits and security that go with traditional jobs. For officialdom, that’s a vexing combination. What’s the right response to a company that causes much unease and disrupts entrenched interests, yet also has immense potential benefits for consumers? In Uber’s case, two possibilities suggest themselves. One appealing option is to have no response at all. Have you tried Uber? It’s great. Its innovations — such as surge pricing, which ensures more drivers are available when demand is highest — are exciting. For many drivers, it’s a boon. Uber’s battles with local governments have become the stuff of legend, but more and more places are welcoming it — some 300 cities so far — and they often find themselves wondering what the fuss was all about. Another response is to remember that old laws are sometimes ill-suited to new technology. A pending California lawsuit — on behalf of Uber drivers who say the company owes them for expenses and tips — offers a case in point. Guest Editorial Uber says its drivers are independent contractors, which means they aren’t covered by most labor regulations and aren’t owed expense reimbursements, overtime pay and so on. Some drivers (along with the California Labor Commission) assert that they’re actually employees, and as such entitled to those benefits and more. They’re probably both wrong. The New-Deal-era classifications that prevail in the U.S. — either contractor or employee — make little sense for Uber and its peers, which let their workers set their own hours and operate with a lot of independence (as contractors would) but also monitor their performance and set their pay rate (as with employees). A California judge considering a similar case said that state law “provides nothing remotely close to a clear answer” to the conundrum and that the jury would be “handed a square peg and asked to choose between two round holes.” Expect such confusion to persist until lawmakers, state and federal, start thinking more creatively. That might mean considering new kinds of classifications — for instance, the “dependent contractor” model used in Canada and elsewhere. It might require rethinking parts of the social safety net that were designed with full-time employment in mind. It will surely mean, in the federalist spirit, that states should experiment with a variety of new arrangements and find what works best for their citizens. If self-driving cars catch on, labor laws of all kinds may one day be a moot point for Uber. But industry after industry is testing the logic of its approach — hence Uber for tailors, Uber for doctors, Uber for getting wasted. Each will present its own complications. On the whole, though, this phenomenon should be viewed with optimism — and a willingness to question whether the old ways of doing things still make much sense. Is quickness worth the risk? By TRUDY LIEBERMAN Rural Health News Service As new drugs and medical devices are developed, it’s understandable that the public, always in love with new technologies, want to use them. It’s also important that they be safe, and most people think they are. It comes down to a balancing act that will soon be tested in Washington. In the fall the U.S. Senate is likely to approve legislation that shifts the scales more in the direction of getting “cures” to market faster, and that could be a big step backward in regulating medical devices — things like breast implants, coronary stents and artificial knees. The 21st Century Cures Act sailed through the House of Representatives in July on the premise that need outweighed the risk of inadequately tested products. Dr. Rita Redberg, a well-known cardiologist at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, told me, “the emphasis has been on getting drugs and devices on the market quickly, not on making sure they are safe.” In a New York Times op-ed Redberg wrote, “The bill would severely weaken not strengthen, the FDA’s already ineffective regulatory scheme for medical devices. The device industry, may stand to benefit from this legislation, but the health of the public does not.” What does the legislation, pushed by the $110 billion device industry and patient advocacy groups, do? In a nutshell it changes the way FDA approves new drugs and devices. Manufacturers of so-called “breakthrough” devices would be able to submit evidence of safety and efficacy based on sources other than clinical trials, the gold standard. In other words, with a clinical trial scientific evidence determines whether a new product can be sold. Under the 21st Century Cures Act a manufacturer could submit evidence that a device is safe and effective based on case histories; that is, it could offer the experiences of indi- Rural Health viduals that a new product should come to market. If patients showed some benefit, manufacturers could submit those experiences to the FDA. According to Redberg, the proposed law would mean “anecdotal evidence rather than scientific studies, could be used to approve drugs and devices.” She told me, “This will result in a lot of dangerous drugs and devices on the market with no evidence. Allowing case studies as the standard is crazy. It lowers the data standard to non-existent.” To understand what’s happening, you have to go back to 1997, another time when the same coalition of drug and device makers, patient groups, and Washington think tanks interested in deregulation convinced Congress to lower the approval standards. It reduced the number of clinical trials to establish safety and efficacy from two or more to one or more and allowed device companies to select and pay for-profit firms to review their products instead of the FDA — a sort of fox-in-the-hen house arrangement. Redberg’s work shows there are fewer trials. A 2009 study published in JAMA showed that 65 percent of premarket approvals for cardiovascular devices were based on a single study, and those studies were often prone to bias and lacked strength. John Fauber, a reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, has documented deaths and injuries resulting to patients who’ve taken cancer and diabetes drugs that were approved under the 1997 looser standards. If the current legislation passes, device makers could conduct the more rigorous trials to see if their products really are safe and effective after they’ve already been on the market. This is hardly foolproof. Sometimes trials are delayed for years after a product is sold, and many are never completed. What’s troubling about all this is the lack of critical discussion of the proposed changes in the media and elsewhere. There has been, however, plenty of commentary and op-eds supporting the 21st Century Cures Act. “You’d think Mother Teresa had written this bill considering the overwhelming praise it’s getting,” says Gregg Gonsalves, a research scholar at the Yale Law School. In the Huffington Post TV personality Katie Couric, a former FDA commissioner and the founder of a disease advocacy group claimed the legislation “does not reduce safety standards.” They talk about “genetic analysis” and “newly discovered biomarkers,” to evaluate new drugs, but don’t mention products could be marketed without clinical trials. As our standards for drugs and devices take a U-turn, the death of Dr. Frances Kelsey in early August at age 101 should remind us what happens when marketing trumps safety. Kelsey was the FDA official who kept the drug thalidomide, a drug that was eventually proven to cause serious berth defects, off the U.S. market because of safety concerns. Use of the drug in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and Australia led to thousands of deaths. No one wants another thalidomide scandal. So are we willing to risk to sell drugs and devices faster perhaps without sufficient testing? •••••••••• Editor’s note: The Rural Health News Service is funded by a grant from The Commonwealth Fund and is distributed the Hoosier State Press Association.

Two Samsung phones unveiled By HAYLEY TSUKAYAMA The Washington Post Samsung unveiled two new smartphones Thursday, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5, as it looks to rebuild its mobile business as its profit sinks and competition increases. The phones are fast, shiny, slim and everything that Samsung fans could have hoped for. The new Edge and Note are set for a retail launch on Aug. 21 and will cost $740 and $815, respectively. True to form, Samsung executives touted the company’s legacy of innovation as they introduced the phones in an event strategically scheduled before Apple’s traditional fall iPhone bonanza. Samsung has been feeling the squeeze lately. It reported a seventh straight quarter of falling profit, partly because of weaker sales. Although it is still the best-selling smartphone maker in the world by volume, Samsung reaps only 15 percent of global smartphone profit. The rest goes to Apple, the secondlargest smartphone seller in the world. “They’ve been sliding in the Edge as being the next bullet in the chamber to maintain that high end of the market,” said Ramon Llamas, an analyst at IDC. South Bend Tribune SOUTH BEND — As a technology startup, Trek10has just begun its journey. It’s off to a quick start, though. Andy Warzon founded the company with Jim Abercrombie and Shane Fimbel about a year and half ago. The firm — which specializes in cloud-based IT infrastructure such as Amazon Web Services — set up an office in April at Union Station Technology Center and completed a round of seed funding earlier this summer from an investor group that included Elevate Ventures and The Judd Leighton Foundation. Trek10 has six full-time employees right now, but 25 to 30 people could be working there by the end of 2016. The company’s big upside lies in its specialty — infrastructure as a service — which is a new but growing field in technology. Most people who use the Internet are familiar with the concept of software as a service. The term means that, instead of downloading software onto a computer’s hard drive, the program is accessible on any device with an Internet connection. Web-based email is one common example of software as a service. Other examples include everything from Netflix to online banking. Infrastructure as a service refers to the practice of taking the lowlevel components of IT infrastructure — hardware, servers — and delivering it as a service over the Internet, or “the cloud” as it’s been nicknamed. Amazon Web Services, which is owned by the online retailer Ama- South Bend Tribune/Greg Swiercz Andy Warzon, left, and Jim Abercrombie are co-founders of Trek10. The company is based in the Union Station Technology Center in South Bend. zon.com, is the largest player in the infrastructure-as-a-service market. Multinational corporations, government agencies and other large institutions are using it. “This is a really powerful set of tools, but a lot of companies don’t know how to use it,” Warzon said. “We help companies get on Amazon Web Services and support them 24/7 once they’re on there.” One of the key advantages of cloud-based IT infrastructure is it allows companies to use only what they need, when they need it. They can scale up without buying additional equipment, and they aren’t wasting money on unused equipment when traffic is below peak levels. “If you’re buying physical infrastructure, you have to manage to your peak,” Abercrombie said. “The less frequently those peaks happen throughout the year, the more money you’re spending on unused capacity. The cloud completely takes care of that.” Trek10 also focuses on DevOps — a merging of software development and IT operations. “It’s taking an IT operation and automating it with code — actually defining a whole data center with code,” Warzon said. “And then on the flip side, this is using IT operations Illinois firm set to expand For Jay County Schools August 17-21, 2015 MON.: – Hamburger, Sweet Potato Fries, Tomato Slice, Pickles, Peaches, Milk TUES.: – Shredded BBQ Pork, Peas, Mixed Fruit, Trix Yogurt, Milk WED.: – Dorito Walking Taco w/ Lettuce, Cheese, Sour Cream, Salsa, Refried Beans, Apple slices, Milk THUR.: – Turkey Sandwich on Pretzel Bun W/ Cheese, Mayo, Cauliflower, Fresh Broccoli, Sliced Oranges, Milk FRI.: – Chicken w/ Rice, Soy sauce, Egg Roll, Pineapple, Cucumber, Fortune Cookie, Milk approximately 550,000square-foot building that formerly was used to manufacture tanks for the U.S. Army.

(AP) — Indiana officials say a manufacturer of material-handling equipment will expand its operations into northwest Indiana and create up to 500 new jobs by 2022. The Indiana Economic Development Corp. says Hoist Liftruck Mfg. Inc. announced the pending expansion of its manufacturing operations into East Chicago on Wednesday. The IEDC says the Bedford Park, Illinois-based company will purchase, renovate and equip an 1502 N. Meridian Portland, IN to make software development better.” Warzon was Better World Books’ vice president of technology and analytics from 2006 to 2013, and he later worked as an independent consultant. His idea for Trek10 came out of opportunities he saw while doing consulting work. Innovation Park at Notre Dame was Trek10’s base before the company moved to Union Station — the old rail depot that’s now a technology hub on downtown’s south end. Trek10 already had customers and revenue when it went to Innovation Park, but Warzon said the business incubator helped speed up the company’s development. The firm now has more than 30 customers in the Midwest, on both coasts and even abroad. Innovation Park’s leaders presented Trek10 with an Acceleration Award last month. Warzon noted at the ceremony that a tech company like Trek10 doesn’t have a lot of tangible assets. It relies on the technical talent of its employees, and he has been able to assemble a great team here. “We have laptops and a Foosball table and a lot of brains,” he said. “This business is all about people. That’s the thing that will drive our success forward.” If you are interested in working in a friendly, hometown atmosphere where you feel valued, come take a look at Jay County Hospital.

IU will offer the degrees in intelligent systems engineering beginning with the 201617 academic year. “It will really round out the ability of SoIC and IU to have a full spectrum of computing and science programs that include designing and making physical objects,” said School of “This is crucial both to meet the employment needs of area industry ... and to being able to fully address research opportunities ...” —Bobby Schnabel, Dean of IU School of Informatics and Computing Informatics and Computing Dean Bobby Schnabel in an email. “This is crucial both to meet the employment needs of area industry including Crane, Cook, Cummins and many more, and to being able to fully address research opportunities in areas such as robotics, high performance computing, environmental science and engineering, neuroscience and engineering and more.” The commission voted at its Thursday meeting at Purdue UniversityCalumet in Hammond, and IU President Michael McRobbie announced the decision during a finance committee meeting with the IU Board of Trustees in Bloomington. “IU greatly welcomes today’s action by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and very much appreciates the commission’s support for a program in ITrelated engineering at IU-Bloomington,” said McRobbie. The bachelor’s program will offer degree tracks in computer engineering and cyber-physical systems; bioengineering; and molecular and nanoscale engineering; while the doctoral program will allow students to focus on these areas as well as environmental and neuroengineering. The program will center on the engineering and design of small, mobile, personal technologies that integrate big data, computational modeling and intelligent systems into their design.

Hamilton went 4 for 4 with four runs scored and two RBIs for the Reds, who piled up 15 hits while never trailing against a team coming off consecutive shutout victories. Rookie Keyvius Sampson (2-1) allowed two runs and five hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out three and walked one in winning his second straight. Latos (4-9) gave up five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. Stopped TORONTO — Carlos Beltran hit a huge home run in the eighth inning, Andrew Miller escaped a big jam in the ninth and the New York Yankees stopped Toronto’s 11-game winning streak, beating the Blue Jays 4-3 Friday night. Miller struck out Ben Revere and Troy Tulowitzki with runners on second and third to close out the victory. The win moved the Yankees a half-game ahead of Toronto and back into first place in the AL East. David Price took a 30 lead into the eighth before New York rallied. He left after Chase Headley’s RBI double and Beltran then greeted reliever Aaron Sanchez (6-5) with a pinch-hit, threerun homer. —Associated Press Page 9 Willis earns second medalist honor GENEVA — Two matches, two medals. South Adams High School senior Sydney Willis shot 36 — even par — in helping the Starfire girls golf team to a 185-188 victory over DeKalb on Friday at Golf Club of the Limberlost. It was her second medalist honor in as many matches, as she won the South Adams Invitational Aug. 5. Willis, who was a state qualifier as a sophomore, had two birdies and two bogeys. She made par on the remaining five holes. Classmate Jaci Gorrell had the No. 2 score for the Starfires with a 48. Gorrell’s sophomore sister Kaiti was one stroke behind her older sibling. Amy Schwartz completed South Adams’ team total with a 52. Becca Schwartz was the No. 5 golfer for SA with a 62. The Starfire junior varsity team totaled 312, while the Barons did not qualify for a team score. Allyson Schwartz paced the JV Starfires with a 71, while Claire Sutton and Mallory Zurcher had a 76 and 79 respectively. Selina Jones finished with an 86. Rain, wind delays PGA Championship BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The second round of the PGA Championship offered a little bit of everything Friday. Except a conclusion. On one side of the golf course, Jordan Spieth was piling up enough birdies to momentarily tie for the lead at Whistling Straits. On the other side with far less attention, Hiroshi Iwata ran off five birdies and an eagle and tied the championship major record with a 63. Dustin Johnson was losing ground in the rough and in the bunkers, falling out of the lead with three bogeys in a four-hole stretch. John Daly lost his cool and then lost a 6-iron when he heaved it in Lake Michigan. And that was before a wicked storm that packed gusts up to 48 mph and suspended the second round. Jason Day ran off three straight birdies and was tied for the lead with Matt Jones at 9-under par when players were taken off the course. The storm was severe enough to topple the main scoreboard at the entrance and rip flags off the poles atop some of the grandstands. The round was to resume at 7 a.m. Justin Rose pulled within one shot of the lead with back-to-back birdies. He headed to the 18th tee, feeling good about being able to finish. "I opened my big mouth to the boys playing with us," Rose said. "I said, 'The end is in sight.' And 30 seconds later, they blew the Associated Press/Brynn Anderson Fans scramble for cover near the first hole as a storm passes after play was suspended for weather during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament Friday at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. horn. So my name is mud all over here." Tiger Woods, for all his struggles in the majors this year, can at least say he made it to the weekend in three of them. He made the cut at the Masters. He missed the cut on Saturday at the wind-delayed British Open. There was still hope at the PGA Championship, though he was 4 over with five holes to play, two shots away from the projected cut. The leaderboard was as clouded as the sky over Whistling Straits. Seven players had at least a share of the lead at some point Friday, when a strong breeze in the morning gave way to steamy sunshine and virtually no wind until the storms moved in. When players were evacuated from the course, 11 players were separated by three shots. David Lingmerth of Sweden made only four pars in his wild round of 70 and was the clubhouse leader at 7-under 137. One shot behind was a group that included Spieth, the Masters and U.S. Open champion who is very much in the picture to join Woods and Ben Hogan as the only players to win three majors in one year. Scott Piercy (70) and Brendan Steele (69) joined Spieth at 6-under 138. The star of the day was Iwata, a 34-year-old from Japan who had every reason to think his first appearance in the PGA Championship would be a short one. He opened with a 77 and still was 3 over when he reached the back nine. Iwata reeled off five birdies and an eagle, and he saved par on the 18th for a 63. It was the 27th time that Farrell has ‘highly curable’ form of cancer By KEN POWTAK Associated Press BOSTON — Fighting back tears, Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell said Friday that he had a “highly curable” form of cancer and has taken a medical leave for the rest of the season to deal with lymphoma. The 53-year-old Farrell said bench coach Torey Lovullo will run the team in his absence. Farrell said he planned on being back with the team for spring training. Farrell said the cancer of the lymphatic system was discovered when he had hernia surgery in Detroit earlier this week. “I know we usually start out with the injury report. I’ll start out with myself on this one. Monday’s surgery for the hernia revealed that I have lymphoma,” he said before Friday night’s game at Fenway Park against Seattle. “Thankfully, it was detected in the hernia surgery. I can honestly tell you I’m extremely fortunate that it was found. Treatment will begin in the coming days,” he said. Red Sox manager diagnosed with Stage 1 lymphoma Farrell said a mass was completely removed during the procedure and no additional surgery was necessary. He said chemotherapy would start early next week. Red Sox stars David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia stood along a wall to Farrell’s left when he made the announcement. Vice President Sam Kennedy, general manager Ben Cherington and Lovullo also were in the room. “A little bit of a shocker to be told later that afternoon that this was going on. Like I said, I’m fortunate,” Farrell said. “Stage 1. It’s localized. It’s highly curable. I’m extremely fortunate to not only be with people with the Red Sox, but access to MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital) and world class talent that can handle this.” The Red Sox are in last place in the AL East with a 50-64 record. In February, Farrell’s contract was extended through 2017 with a club option for 2018. “When they mentioned the word ‘cancer,’ it’s something that it doesn’t matter where it comes from, it kind of impacts you,” Ortiz said. Farrell guided Boston to the World Series championship in his first season in 2013. He previously managed the Toronto Blue Jays for two years. “Sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery. Stay Strong and look forward to seeing you at the ballpark soon,” the Blue Jays tweeted. On Tuesday, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said he is being treated for Hodgkin lymphoma, and his doctors consider it “very treatable and curable.” His plans were to remain coach and team president while being treated. Cherington said Farrell told him the news Thursday when the GM was traveling between flights en route to Greenville, South Carolina, to visit one of the team’s Single-A affiliates. “He called me on a quick layover,” Cherington said. “I was sort of in shock. A few minutes to sink in and I figured I had to get back to Boston last night. I’ve been talking to him yesterday and this morning.” “There’s a lot of respect for him, not just in the Red Sox organization, but throughout baseball,” he said. “There’s a lot of people already reaching out. He’s someone that spent his whole life in baseball. He’s played, he’s coached, worked in the front office and, obviously, he’s managed now.” Red Sox chairman Tom Werner spoke about Farrell during the pregame TV telecast.

"When I came here, I was thinking just to make my game better and better and on Sunday, I can be in the top 10," Iwata said through a translator. Even with a recordtying score, he still has plenty of work ahead of him to do that. Iwata was at 4-under 140 and losing ground as one player after another took aim at Whistling Straits in good scoring conditions. LES WENNING MOTORS, INC.
