1 of 3 View 3 Items Jeff Chiu, AP San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner speaks to reporters before NFL football practice at the team's headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., Wednesday, June 13, 2018. Former BYU linebacker Fred Warner had a good first game in his NFL debut. One week after missing the San Francisco 49ers’ preseason opener with a chest injury, Warner played 34 defensive snaps and six on special teams in the 49ers’ 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday. Warner, a third-round selection by San Francisco in this year’s NFL draft, first entered the game in the second quarter and tied for the team lead with five tackles, including three solo stops. He also recovered a fumble during the third quarter at the Houston 28-yard line after teammate D.J. Jones knocked the ball loose from the Texans’ Lavon Coleman. That led to a 49ers field goal four plays later.

Roncalli, Pennsylvania cases stir strong reactions from local Catholics
Billy Kobin Indianapolis Star Published 10:00 p.m. UTC Aug 19, 2018 Recent local and national headlines have given Catholics in the Indianapolis area plenty to think about. First, there was the news that Shelly Fitzgerald, a popular guidance counselor at Roncalli High School for the past 15 years, is facing possible termination after church and school officials were presented with evidence of her 2014 marriage to a woman. Then, in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, a grand jury report accused more than 300 Catholic priests of sexually abusing more than 1,000 child victims. The report details a 70-year "systematic" coverup effort by the state's church leaders. Five Catholic priests with ties to Indiana were named in the grand jury report. For many Catholics, the events have created a certain amount of introspection about what might be described as the separation of church and faith. More specifically, some Catholics may lament the church's positions in … [Read more...] about Roncalli, Pennsylvania cases stir strong reactions from local Catholics
Gov. Kasich should share Ohio’s surplus with local governments: editorial
Republican Gov. John. Kasich wants to max out Ohio's rainy-day budget fund. He also wants to tweak withholding tables so that slightly less Ohio income tax would be withheld from Ohioans' paychecks. For example, annual withholding for an Ohioan earning $50,000 a year would decline about $45 - or less than $1 a week. What would make such moves possible is Kasich's stewardship of Ohio's budget, which is balanced and running a modest surplus. And Ohio's "rainy-day" budget savings account, which held just 89 cents (that's not a typo) when Kasich took office in January 2011, now totals about $2.7 billion. But what makes Kasich's proposals bad ideas is this stark fact: Compared to 2010, Ohio's local governments - counties, cities, villages, townships - have lost more than $1 billion a year in state aid in inflation-adjusted terms, as of 2017, according to Policy Matters Ohio, the policy research organization. And it's clear that those savings (to the state treasury) have helped pay for … [Read more...] about Gov. Kasich should share Ohio’s surplus with local governments: editorial
