INDIANAPOLIS — A call against the legalization of medical marijuana couldn’t have been better received than it was by Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill.

The call, coming from an opponent of Colorado’s marijuana legalization, opened a two-day sympo-sium hosted by Hill’s office

this week to discuss pre-scription drug abuse.

“What’s happened with marijuana use in Colorado? It’s a big thing with our kids. ... We’re now ranked number one in the nation for mari-juana use (among minors). That’s 55 percent higher than the national average,” said Thomas Gorman of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program.

“So when you talk about relocating to Colorado and

you’ve got young kids, is this the kind of environment you want your kids to be in?” Gorman asked.

A previous HIDTA study showed that since marijuana was legalized for personal recreational use by those 21 and older in Colorado in 2012, there was a 20 percent increase in pot use on aver-age by youths during 2013 and 2014.

“We’re like twins,” Hill said following Gorman’s speech. “Not only did Tom

give a very entertaining dis-cussion but he is speaking from facts and data with regard to marijuana. And one of the things that gets lost in this opioid scare is the significance of how dan-gerous marijuana is in the entire equation.”

Hill, a Republican, said he opposes the legalization of marijuana in part because minors would use it.

“If you legalize marijua-na, the very first thing that’s going to happen is more

young people will smoke pot. That’s absolutely real-ly something that we really can’t afford to have,” Hill said.

The anti-marijuana mes-sage also crept into a speech by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

“I have literally been the only thing standing between New Jersey and medical marijuana legaliza-tion. And how the election goes ... there may be noth-ing standing between it,”

said Christie, who chairs the President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis.

His commission has been “inundated,” he said, with calls to legalize marijuana.

But Christie cited a 2017 study of 43,000 Americans by the National Institute on Drug Abuse that found mar-ijuana users are more likely to misuse prescription opi-oids and develop prescrip-tion-use disorders.

Death NoticesMarjorie DeMien

PLYMOUTH — Marjorie DeMien, 93, of Plymouth, died Saturday, Nov. 4. Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, Plymouth, is handling arrangements.

Sondra J. Geller ROCHESTER —Sondra J. Geller 74, of Rochester, died Friday, Nov. 3. Arrangements are pending at Good Family Funeral Home of Rochester.

noticed one of the checks had been written to Schrimsher’s mother-in-law.

Along with at least one written to her mother-in-law, a review of the checkbook showed that Schrimsher had writ-ten multiple checks to herself, Walmart, Park ’N Shop, Little Caesars and to cash.

Bean made multiple attempts between September and November 2016 to interview Schrimsher, but he was unable to locate her and she failed to return messages, according to court documents.

The checks were written between 2012 and 2016 and total about $1,200. However, Bean previously said the exact amount might not be known unless Schrimsher is found guilty and ordered to pay restitution.

It wasn’t immediately known how long Schrimsher served as PTO treasurer. The PTO leader told Bean she was removed from the position in May 2016 for not being active in the organization.

“We’re the most medicated country in the world. Do we really need to legalize another drug?” Christie asked.

After Christie’s speech, Hill said, “Governor Christie pointed it out, as well. It is folly to think that legalizing mar-ijuana will somehow help us in the opioid crisis. ... I think it is a message that we have to make sure we get right.”

Private possession of marijuana for those at least 21 years of age and private cultivation of up to six plants are not crimes in Colorado, which is among 29 states that have laws legalizing marijuana in some form.

ARGOS — Earlier in October, Argos Community Schools (ACS) was named one of AP-TIP Indiana School of the Year Finalists. Jon Arndt, AP Calculus AB teacher at ACS, was also named a finalist for AP-TIP IN Indiana Math Teacher of the Year.

The Indiana Advanced Placement - Teacher Investment Program (AP-TIP IN) is a statewide partnership between ACS and the University of Notre Dame. AP-TIP prepares stu-dents for college by engag-ing them in math, science, and English coursework. The program supports stu-dents by delivering high quality professional devel-opment to their teachers and they continue to support those teachers through the use of AP-TIP IN’s Content Directors. 2017 is the fifth year for the program.

On Thursday, Senator Randy Head visited ACS and learned more about the program. Joining him were the members of the ACS School Board and Wendy Barnes, Notre Dame AP-TIP IN program director.

“We have two goals with out mission,” said Barnes. “One is to increase AP enrollment in STEM courses plus English. So, for us, that means Math, Science, and of course English. Goal two is to increase the passing scores for our students with our schools.”

Barnes went on to say that they do this using a two prong method. The first is through teacher profes-sional development which

includes training.“All of our teachers give

up five days of their sum-mer in July when most peo-ple get to take their vaca-tion,” said Barnes.

AP Calculus AB Teacher Jon Arndt was one of those teachers from ACS that spend five days of his sum-mer. “The summer camp is wonderful. We get resources and training. My first year of teaching AP Calculus I was lost in the woods with the rigor of the material but then going through the training I feel so much more comfortable,” Arndt said.

The program offers teach-ers mentors that guide the teacher when they have questions or concerns. “For

myself, I can bounce ideas or ask questions to somebody who has a little more expe-rience and training,” said Arndt.

There are also incentives for the students. Students who score a qualifying score (3, 4, or 5) on AP exams in eligible math, science, and English (MSE) cours-es received $100 check from Notre Dame. Teachers also receive incentives.

“The teachers, if they have 90 percent of their students take the test, they receive a $500 check,” said Barnes. Teachers also have stretch goals that if met they are rewarded with another $500 check.

Argos Junior-Senior High

School is the only school in Marshall County involved with AP-TIP IN. In 2016 the school was selected to be in cohort 4 which also includ-ed Mooresville High School, Clinton Prairie Jr./Sr. High School, Northwestern High School, Griffith High School, Twin Lakes High School, Lowell High School, Washington High School, and Merrillville High School.

“It’s a great partner-ship. It’s outstanding. As superintendent, we could not do that without Notre Dame’s assistance,” said ACS Superintendent Ned Speicher.

INDIANA—Average retail gasoline prices in Indiana have risen 15.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.72/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 3,271 gas outlets in Indiana. This compares with the national average that has increased 6.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.53/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Indiana during the past week, prices yesterday were 61.9 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 37.4 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 3.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 32.0 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on November 6 in Indiana have ranged widely over the last five years:

$2.10/g in 2016, $2.26/g in 2015, $2.90/g in 2014, $3.21/g in 2013 and $3.31/g in 2012.

Areas near Indiana and their current gas price climate:Champaign- $2.69/g, up 23.9 cents per gallon from last

week’s $2.45/g.Indianapolis- $2.68/g, up 11.4 cents per gallon from last

week’s $2.57/g.Cincinnati- $2.63/g, up 16.3 cents per gallon from last

week’s $2.46/g.“It’s been a frenzied week at fuel pumps across the coun-

try, but without a hurricane driving up prices, many motor-ists have been dumbfounded about what’s taking place with the unseasonable upward trend,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “Such a strong weekly upward move is rare in the fall, but is explained by a confluence of factors, including oil prices hitting a new 2017 high, a major pipeline leak resulting in disruption, autumn refinery maintenance, but perhaps among the more surprising- robust demand for gasoline so late in the season. Such demand has magnified relatively mundane factors into a major gas price event for much of the United States and Canada. But some slowdown is expected in the Great Lakes, the region hardest hit with price spikes in the last week, as repairs Explorer Pipeline have been completed, but some additional bumps in the road ahead can be expected for motorists elsewhere.”

Indiana retail fuel prices continue to rise

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — A gunman dressed in black tactical-style gear and armed with an assault rifle opened fire inside a small South Texas church, killing 26 people in an attack that claimed tight-knit neighbors and multiple family mem-bers ranging in age from 5 to 72 years old.

Once the shooting started Sunday at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, there was likely "no way" for congregants to escape, said Wilson County Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. Officials said about 20 others were wounded.

"He just walked down the center aisle, turned around and my under-standing was shooting on his way back out," said Tackitt, who said the gun-man also carried a handgun but that he didn't know if it was fired. Tackitt described the scene as "terrible."

"It's unbelievable to see children, men and women, laying there. Defenseless people," he said.

Authorities didn't identify the attack-er during a news conference Sunday night. But two other officials — one a U.S. official and one in law enforce-ment — identified him as Devin Kelley. They spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the investigation.

The U.S. official said Kelley lived in a San Antonio suburb and didn't appear to be linked to organized terror-ist groups. Investigators were looking

at social media posts Kelley made in the days before the attack, including one that appeared to show an AR-15 semiautomatic weapon.

Kelley received a bad conduct dis-charge from the Air Force for assault-ing his spouse and child, and was sen-tenced to 12 months' confinement after a 2012 court-martial. Kelley served in Logistics Readiness at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 2010 until his 2014 discharge, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said.

At the news conference, the attacker was described only as a white man in his 20s who was wearing black tactical gear and a ballistic vest when he pulled into a gas station across from the church, about 30 miles (48.28 kilometers) southeast of San Antonio, around 11:20 a.m.

The gunman crossed the street and started firing the rifle at the church, said Freeman Martin, a regional direc-tor of the Texas Department of Safety, then continued firing after entering the white wood-frame building, where an 11 a.m. service was scheduled.

As he left, the shooter was confront-ed by an armed resident who "grabbed his rifle and engaged that suspect," Martin said. A short time later, the sus-pect was found dead in his vehicle at the county line.

Federal agents, including ATF inves-tigators and the FBI's evidence collec-tion team, swarmed the small rural community of just hundreds of resi-dents.

Several weapons were found inside the vehicle and Martin said it was unclear if the attacker died of a self-in-

flicted wound or if he was shot by the resident who confronted him. He said investigators weren't ready to discuss a possible motive.

Martin said 23 of the dead were found in the church, two were found outside and one died after being taken to a hospital.

The man who confronted Kelley had help from another local resi-dent, Johnnie Langendorff, who told KSAT TV that he was driving past the church as the shooting happened. He didn't identify the armed resident but said the man exchanged gunfire with the gunman, then asked to get in Langendorff's truck and the pair fol-lowed as the gunman drove away.

Langendorff said the gunman even-tually lost control of his vehicle and crashed. He said the other man walked up to the vehicle with his gun drawn and the suspect did not move. He stayed there for at least five minutes, until police arrived.

"I was strictly just acting on what's the right thing to do," Langendorff said.

Among those killed was the church pastor's 14-year-old daugh-ter, Annabelle Pomeroy. Pastor Frank Pomeroy and his wife, Sherri, were both out of town when the attack occurred, Sherri Pomeroy wrote in a text message.

"We lost our 14-year-old daughter today and many friends," she wrote. "Neither of us has made it back into town yet to personally see the devasta-tion. I am at the charlotte airport trying to get home as soon as i can."

‘Defenseless people’: Gunman kills 26 at South Texas church

Although a new study shows that Indiana could reap billions of revenue dollars by adding toll lanes to interstates, it does not take into account a state provision that prohibits the first new toll road from being within 75 miles of an existing one.

That means that should the governor and Indiana General Assembly approve and find money for toll roads, the first one could not be within 75 miles of, for example, the toll bridg-es at Jeffersonville or the Indiana Toll Road in north-ern Indiana.

But any toll lanes after that could be fair game.

The 75-mile limit was a compromise involv-ing southern Indiana and Kentucky officials who pre-dicted Indiana businesses would relocate south of the Ohio River.

“I think the number was epiphanal,” said state Rep. Ed Soliday, R-Valparaiso, chairman of the Roads and Transportation committee. “The 75 miles…it says the first one you toll won’t be right on top of the bridge.”

The Federal Highway Administration places limits on using toll reve-nue for new construction. Revenues are general-ly limited to repayments of financing for a project, operations and mainte-nance. Indiana’s recent 10-cent-a-gallon increase in the state’s gasoline tax is

to be used for maintenance and prevention, not new construction.

“So if you want six lanes on [Interstate] 65 and you probably need eight, the only way you’re getting them is if you toll,” Soliday said.

The tolling study is a first in that it also looks at whether drivers will divert from an interstate to avoid paying tolls. It finds that I-64 in southern Indiana could lose 22 percent of its vehicles due to tolling with a loss of 14 percent along I-74, 11 percent along I-70 and 10 percent along I-69 and I-65.

Tolling scenarios vary with the highest toll at 6 cents per mile along I-64 to 4 cents a mile for the other routes. On an aver-

age, the study assumes that passenger vehicles would pay 4 cents a mile; light/medium trucks, 6 cents a mile; and heavy trucks, 19 cents a mile. The $600,000 tolling feasibility study of six interstates, prepared for the Indiana Department of Transportation, was given for review to Gov. Eric Holcomb this week.

The study shows there is an 85 percent chance that revenues would exceed $39 billion from 2021 to 2050. There’s a 50 percent chance a toll system would exceed $53 billion, according to the study by HDR Inc. The 75-mile buffer zone wasn’t considered as part of the study, said Scott Manning, Strategic Communications Director for INDOT.

Instead, HDR Inc. was

instructed to look at the interstate system-wide, he said.

“The strategic plan for implementation is where you would develop what the rates would be and where the specific toll points would be,” Manning said. “The feasibility study doesn’t reach that depth.”

But I-65, I-69, I-64 and I-94 all have portions with-in 75 miles of existing toll lanes.

That may leave I-70 as the first test for tolling seg-ments, sources said, possi-bly to pay for needed road repairs.

An earlier INDOT study found that I-70 between Indianapolis and Ohio would be deficient for drivers by 2020 due to road conditions and use.

Similarly, the report found future deficiency along I-70 between Indianapolis and Ind. 39 as well as I-65 north of I-465 and I-65 north of Columbus, among other stretches.

But tolling may also be a last resort in also funding maintenance, some legisla-tors sense.

“The issue is in 2021 the revenue from sales from gasoline and diesel sales falls off like a rock and it keeps falling into the 2030s,” Soliday said. ‘‘When you look at what are our alternatives to fill that gap and you sure don’t want to use the general fund because you’re taking money out of education so user-pay is where we’re at, and there’s only so many tools available.”

Might I-70 be first test for new tolling? Factors seem to be pushing project in that direction

EAST CHICAGO, Ind. (AP) — ArcelorMittal plans to invest more than $100 million at its Indiana Harbor steel mill in East Chicago.

The (Northwest Indiana) Times reports Saturday that ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor General Manager Wendell Carter said the investment is part of a planned $276 million in capital spending next year.

Carter spoke Friday before northwest Indiana business

leaders in Valparaiso. He added that the company would dedicate some of the spending in 2018 to start projects at ArcelorMittal's Burns Harbor steel mill in northwestern Indiana's Porter County.

The American Iron and Steel Institute said earlier this year that steel production in Indiana rose by 5 percent in 2016 as the state continued to lead the nation in steel making.

Which is more unsettling: That the United States has something like 800 to 1,000 troops in Niger? Or that most of the members of the U.S. Congress had no idea they were there?

Our money is on the second one.Members of the House and

Senate from both parties admitted this week — in the wake of the loss of four U.S. troops in Niger — that they were pretty much clueless about the mission, the country, the objectives, and the risks.

Given the fact that we pay these people, that’s embarrassing.

Where is Niger (pronounced

Nee-jair)? It’s in west-central Africa, just east of Mali.

Why are we there? For the same reason that we seem to have troops sprinkled all over the African con-tinent: ISIS and its offshoots.

But while those bits of infor-mation might allow you to sat-isfy a soundbite when a reporter sticks a microphone in your face, they don’t add up to a satisfactory explanation of what U.S. policy actually is.

And the ignorance of our rep-resentatives in Congress merely underscores the fact that our policy in the region hasn’t been debated, discussed, or considered. It’s sim-ply a product of our momentum in the aftermath of 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, and all the rest.

Earlier this month, Public Broadcasting aired an excellent — occasionally devastating — multi-part documentary about the Vietnam War. It was a cautionary tale that could not have come at a more appropriate time.

When policy is built upon drift, inattention, and flawed supposi-tions, there is hell to pay.

Does that mean we should not have troops targeting Islamic extremists in place like Niger? Not necessarily.

But it’s a reminder of the con-sequences when our elected rep-resentatives don’t do their home-work, don’t ask the questions they need to be asking, and don’t have the courage to question authority now and then.

(USPS 436-440)

Almost noth-ing is as easy to demagogue as corporate tax rate changes. So, it might be helpful to share a bit of what economists know about the effect of changing these tax rates in advance of Congress openly debating the issue. It is also useful to understand why tax changes are needed.

To begin, corporate tax rates in the US are the highest in the developed world. Because people pay taxes, and cor-porations aren’t people (as the Occupy Wall Street folks so eloquently remind us), the tax burden falls on workers and shareholders in the form of lower wages and dividends. While it seems the Left cares about workers, and Wall Street cares about shareholders, I’d like to note that these are often the same people. Roughly the same proportion of adults who work also own stocks. These are teachers, bankers and plumbers with individual and group retire-ment accounts. Owning this stock makes us capitalists, so to coin a phrase, ‘we are all capitalists now’.

Tax policy and tax rates matter. At least, that is what the Obama administration and Congress argued as they passed the ‘stimulus bill’ in winter 2009. They were right of course, tax rate changes impact both consumption and investment. Lower tax rates boost both, while higher tax rates have the opposite effect. During the recession, the cuts were aimed directly at boosting consumption. We wanted households to buy more goods and services.

Today the problem is different. The recovery is more than eight years old, but we are stuck in a very slow growth expansion. Indeed, the average growth rate between sum-mer 2009 and today is slow enough to radically alter what most of us think of as the American Dream. From the end of World War II through the start of the Great Recession, growth averaged roughly 3.5 percent. At that rate, the stan-dard of living doubled every 25 to 30 years. In sharp con-trast, at post-Great Recession growth rates, the American standard of living will double every 65 to 70 years. This has the potential to radically alter the way Americans think about opportunity and a shared future. It is time to accept some meaningful risk to change this outcome. Tax policy is one part of this effort.

Cutting corporate taxes will have an effect on wages, but it won’t come in the form of direct wage increases. Businesses don’t behave that way. Instead a reduction in corporate taxes will filter through to workers and share-holders as businesses adjust their production levels. Lower tax rates will induce investment and increased employ-ment. ‘How much’ is a matter of considerable disagree-ment.

The Council of Economic Advisors reported a 3 to 5 per-cent increase in GDP resulting from the corporate tax cut, which would boost earnings an average of $4,000 per work-er. The Tax Policy Center and the former Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers offered a much lower figure, noting that the tax cut would only cut taxes by a bit more than $1,150 per worker, not all of which would be spent on employment. To further muddle the issues, a couple of well-respected economics professors reported estimates in the 3 to 5 percent range, largely agreeing with the CEA. Where is that one-handed economist?

The issue behind all of this disagreement is how much (or how little) the tax cut will cause an inflow of invest-ment dollars from overseas. The exact amount of the impact cannot be known with the type of certainty accom-panying most tax policy changes. Our taxes have never been this much out of balance with the rest of the world, thus estimating how much investment will flow back into the US from a corporate tax cut is a daunting task. But, I am not sure this is the most relevant issue.

Our current slow growth economy is a disaster, in that it means our kids are likely to experience less than half the economic growth we adults have grown up expecting. There is no single cause for slow growth, much less a single policy remedy. The corporate tax rate changes aren’t per-fect, and they won’t solve all our growth problems. They are, however, a risk worth taking.

Congratulations to senior Andrew Fornash, junior Sydney Richer, soph-omore Alaina Clady and freshman Estrella Martinez for being cho-sen for the Plymouth High School First Federal Savings Bank students of the Month of September.

All four students received a $10 gift card to the restaurant of their choice courtesy of First Federal Savings Bank.

Social Studies Teacher David Hatcher and Math Teacher Lindsay Moore nominated senior Andrew Fornash. Mr. Hatcher wrote, “Out of 94 AP Psychology students who took their research methods test, Andrew was the only student to ace it! Bravo, sir! Keep up the great work!” Ms. Moore wrote, “Andrew has done a great job help-ing his peers troubleshoot their code in Computer Science II Programming. He has been patient and kind when helping to troubleshoot coding errors. We have encoun-tered a lot of software errors this year and he has always kept his cool while seeking solutions.“

Plymouth High School

junior Sydney Richer was nominated by PHS English Teacher Stephanie Wezeman. “Sydney rec-ognized that one of her peers, who frequently struggles with life, was having a really rough day and gave the peer a stuffed animal that she had carried into the class that day. I’m not sure why she had the stuffed animal, but when I asked her about it later, she said she didn’t plan the action, she simply reacted to see-ing the girl in pain,” said Wezeman.

Sophomore Alaina Clady was nominated by PHS Math Teacher Kasey James who said, “At PHS, we recently had a foreign exchange student join us. In Algebra II, Alaina has gone above and beyond to not only make the new student feel welcome but also to make sure she is doing understanding the material. Her act of kind-ness is greatly appreci-ated and has not gone unnoticed.”

Weidner School of Inquiry freshman Estrella Martinez was nominated by Math Teacher Thomas Tippett who said,“Estrel-la has been doing a phe-nomenal job in Algebra I asking questions in class and completing her

homework on time. She asks for extra help when she needs it and is giving great effort in my class.”

St. Michael’s students thank our veterans

St. Michael’s students were asked to write letters thanking veterans in honor of Veteran’s Day. One student was picked from each grade to have their letter published. Following are three of those letters. The remaining letters will be published throughout this week.

Dear Veterans and Families, Thank you so much for everything you have done for our country. Thank you for

fighting for our country and keeping it safe. We are so grateful for everything you have done; it is hard to put our thanks into words.You have kept our flag safe and sacrificed so much for people you don’t even know. For that we are very grateful.

Thank you to the families of veterans because you also sacrifice so much. It must be very hard not to know if your family member is safe or not. Without the help and sup-port you give them, they could not be the heroes they are today. God bless America and God bless all of you!

Mrs. Dreibelbis’s 7th Grade Class St. Michael Catholic School

Dear Veterans,Thank you for serving our country. Thank you for our freedom and protecting us. We

are so glad to be here in America where we are free to pray, speak, and live as we want. Our prayers go to you and your families. God bless you!

Mrs. Blad’s 3rd Grade Class St. Michael’s Catholic School

Dear Veterans,Thank you on behalf of all of America and my class. We all thank you for the service

and great deed you have done for our country. Your great act of heroism is greatly appreciated and all of America owes you. You have sacrificed many things to protect our great country. You are a hero. We can not express how much we honor you!

On our prayer board in class, we pray for everyone who has served in the armed forces and everyone who is currently serving. If it wasn’t for you and every solider that has served and is serving, we wouldn’t be here playing and enjoying the freedom our country has. Thank you for risking your life to save on our our lives; strangers lives.

Sincerely and Thankfully,Mrs. Chaney’s 6th Grade Homeroom St. Michael’s Catholic School

Fun & Advice

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 45 years. My husband and I get along fine. We each have our little quirks, but after all these years, we are used to each other. There is just one thing that really bugs me about him. When repairs need to be done outside the house, we have it done -- new roof, new siding, driveway paved, even solar panels.

We have also done some work inside, such as remodel-ing the kitchen and bathrooms.

Twelve years after moving into our home, I finally insisted that it be repainted on the inside. My husband griped about it non-stop. I told him he didn’t have to do the painting; we would hire someone to do the job. (He did have

to help me move the furniture.) Well, now it’s time to replace the carpet. It’s

original. It’s 30 years old, stained and worn out. Again, he’s griping and complaining. It drives a wedge between us. Money isn’t the issue. He says I am “always bothering him with one thing after another.” Is it asking too much to have these things done inside my home after so many years? -- “NAGGING” WIFE

DEAR WIFE: I don’t think so. Nothing lasts forever, and that includes carpet. Make a deal with him -- you will hire someone to move the furniture this time if he will stop complaining. The disrup-tion will be over in a few days, and the interior of your home will look fresher and newer once that carpet is history.

****** DEAR ABBY: I have a problem I don’t think you

have ever addressed. Both of my testicles have been removed. Fortunately, they were not cancerous. It doesn’t bother my wife, which is a blessing. Most support groups are for cancer survivors, and I’m wondering if you know of any groups for men like me. Some days I still can’t cope with it because this is part of being a man. Any suggestions? -- TRYING TO COPE IN OKLAHOMA

DEAR TRYING TO COPE: The doctor who saw you through the procedure may be able to refer you to a group or a therapist who can help you with your adjustment. If you haven’t already contacted that physician, it would be a good place to start. Although most members of support groups are probably cancer survivors, you still will have much in common, so keep an open mind before dismiss-ing the idea entirely.

****** DEAR ABBY: What is the appropriate response

when I get an invitation to go somewhere and I must decline because I can’t afford it or don’t want to pay for it? I’m trying to cut my expenses, and I’m embarrassed that I can’t afford any new expenses.

I appreciate the invitations, and sometimes, if it’s worth it to me, I will accept. I don’t want to lie when I really want to say, “This expense isn’t worth it to me.” What can I say that won’t hurt anyone’s feelings and won’t get me caught in a lie? -- DON’T WANT TO LIE

DEAR DON’T WANT TO LIE: It isn’t shame-ful to admit to someone that money is tight and you have to cut expenses, so you can’t attend an event. It’s something that everyone should be able to identify with. However, you should refrain from saying the expense “isn’t worth it to you,” because it comes across as judgmental, and the person may take offense.

Dear AbbyBY JEANNE PHILLIPS

Pilot News • Monday, November 6, 2017 Page A7

Sometimes crying is healthy In the 2008 film “Forget-ting Sarah Marshall,” Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) takes a Hawaiian vacation to get over his recent breakup. But his ex and her new boyfriend turn out to be staying in his hotel. The discovery shatters him, and he ends up sobbing on his balco-ny. Then the front desk calls: “We’re getting complaints about a woman crying hysteri-cally,” the desk clerk says. “I think it’s from the floor above me,” he replies, trying to de-flect blame. “You’re on the top floor,” is the retort. Being a crier like Peter may sound embarrassing, but science shows that he was get-ting healthy, on several levels.

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.

--Research indicates that crying activates the parasym-pathetic nervous system, or your “rest and digest” state. That’s also equivalent to a meditation response to stress, and the opposite of your alert, fight-or-flight state -- good for the cardiovascular system and the spirit. --Tears that express emo-tion contain beneficial chemi-cals and help eliminate toxins from your body. --Crying also stimulates

release of the love hormone oxytocin, a chemical associ-ated with comforting and hap-piness. --It is thought that crying releases opioids in the brain, which helps reduce pain. In short, crying is an effec-tive form of self-soothing. (“There, there, things will be OK.”) --In the blink of an eye, you’ll be transferring oxygen, moisture, nutrients and anti-bodies that fight infection to your cornea. --It helps rally support from those around you when you’re down. Our advice to Peter: Cry it out; hop the next boat to Maui; find a new gal!

It may be strange, but it’s trueBy Samantha Weaver

• It was noted American computer scientist Alan Kay who made the following sage observation: “A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points.”

• The pirate spider eats almost nothing besides other spiders. Researchers say this presents some problems when it comes time to mate.

• Isaac Asimov is probably best known for his classic science-fiction novels, includ-ing the Foundation Series and “I, Robot,” but he was much more than a pulp writer. His works are so wide-ranging that he has entries in nine out

of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal system. In addition to his science-fiction works, he wrote history (“The Greeks: A Great Adventure,” “The Egyptians”), literary works (“Asimov’s Guide to Shakespeare,” “Asimov’s Guide to the Bible,”), humor (“Lecherous Limericks,” “Treasury of Humor”), mys-tery (the Black Widowers series) and popular science (“The Intelligent Man’s Guide to Science”). Asimov earned a Ph.D. from Columbia University in biochemistry, which he also taught; he pub-lished academic works in sci-ence and mathematics. His prolific life is detailed in three works of autobiography, and he and his wife, Janet, even

found time to co-author a self-help book titled “How to Enjoy Writing: A Book of Aid and Comfort.”

• You might be surprised to learn that the electric fan was invented in the 19th century. Then again, at the moment that fact might not be surpris-ing; the heat of summer can be a powerful motivator.

• Though the ukulele is commonly associated with the Hawaiian Islands, it didn’t originate there. The instru-ment actually came from Portugal, where it was known as a machete, and was intro-duced to the islands around 1870 by sailors.

SUDOKU

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about the fees charged by stores for the privilege of shopping there: “Dear Heloise: There are a couple of large discount stores that charge a fee to shop there, and frankly, I don’t understand why I need to pay for a discount! I asked the clerk why I had to pay for the ‘privilege’ of spending my money in that store, and the clerk said that they have a low markup on all items, and the fees are the main source of the company’s rev-enue. As a businesswoman, I find that difficult to believe.” -- Lori M. in Dal-las Readers, how do you feel about paying a fee to shop at a particular store? -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some uses for stale bread: * Make croutons out of it and freeze them for future use. * Stale bread is best for bread pudding. * You can crumble it and put it in a meatloaf or use it in stews (to thicken the sauce). -- Heloise

A DEVOTED READER Dear Heloise: I love reading your column in our local Free Lance-Star newspaper! Here are two hints I’d like to share: 1. An empty tea-light holder is a perfect place to store

your rolled-up fabric measuring tape. 2. The plastic cover from a store-bought cake

can be reused/recycled as a drip tray for a plant. -- Dawn W., Fredericksburg, Va.

WEDDING-DAY VIEWS Dear Heloise: Please tell brides to step outside for a moment when trying on wed-

ding gowns, especially if they are hav-ing an outdoor ceremony. This way, they can tell whether sunlight shows everything under the skirt. I had to make a last-minute slip out of a night-gown when I discovered this mistake

at my wedding. If I had known about this before the wedding, I’d have bought a half slip! -- Juli-anna T., Bettendorf, Iowa

‘YOU CAN WEAR IT AGAIN’ Dear Heloise: Why do brides tell their bridesmaids that the dresses they’ve chosen for their attendants can be worn again? Six times I’ve heard, “Just shorten the skirt and you have a cocktail dress.” One of my bridesmaid dresses was in black-and-white stripes! Lined up at the altar, we looked like an overdressed chain gang! I wish brides would just pick simple styles with no adornment for their attendants so we really could wear them again. -- Connie A. in Boston

CLEANING SILK FLOWERS Dear Heloise: In response to cleaning silk flowers, a designer of silk flowers recommended using a hair dryer once a month to blow dust off flowers. It works! -- Judy I., The Villages, Fla. Judy, I’ve tried this method, and yes, it works like a charm! -- Heloise

Lady Lancers’ hot shooting leads to winLAKEVILLE – LaVille shot 53-percent from the 3-point

line and outscored South Central 29-17 during the middle quarters en route to a 45-29 victory over Class 1A, No. 24-ranked South Central Saturday.

“This game was a good test for us,” said Lady Lancers coach Corey Duncan. “South Central was full of long armed aggressive guards and at times made it hard to get done what we wanted to do offensively.”

The Lancers jumped off to a 10-5 lead at the end of one quarter before hitting six 3-pointers in the middle 16 min-utes to pull away from the Satellites. Haley Berger canned three second quarter 3-point shots, while Aryn Eash added three more third-period treys to give LaVille a 39-22 lead.

“Our three point shooting game was on,” said Duncan.

“Haley Berger and Aryn Eash hit three apiece and Lindsey Aschenbrenner hit two.

“The neat thing about this team is we have so many peo-ple that can step up and score on any given night.”

Eash led the offense with 15 points, including 13 in the second half. Lindsey Aschenbrenner added 10 and Berger chipped in with nine. Julia Hall led with five rebounds, while Aschenbrenner added four boards, and Eash three steals.

“I thought defensively we played really well,” said Duncan, who has the Lancers at 2-0 for the first time since 2003-04. “They didn’t get many uncontested shots,” she said. “The biggest struggle I saw was that we got beat on the boards. We just need to make sure to box out and not give

teams second and third chance opportunities.”LaVille (2-0) will hit the road for three straight games

Lady Chargers take second win, beat WaubonseeBy Andrew d. HAyn

Correspondent

PLYMOUTH - The Ancilla Lady Chargers hosted their second game of the young sea-son on Saturday at Ancilla College Arena in the LifePlex against Sugar Gove, Ill.’s Waubonsee Community College.

The Lady Chargers started off with the ball and grabbed the lead early and never looked back throughout the four quarters of play to win in dominating fashion against the Lady Chiefs 98 to 70.

Fresh off an 11-point victory Thursday night, the Lady Chargers were on a roll in the first quarter by taking control of the game’s pace and playing to their liking. They had the advantage after the first quar-

ter of play by nine, 28 to 19. The Lady Chiefs tried to rally behind

Alexis VanWyhe as they would pull within two with 5:32 remaining in the second quar-ter. However, Ancilla would quickly bounce back to finish out the half. Mainly behind Mentone’s Brynda Krueger as she was red hot from the three-point line in the first half where she netted nine of her 21 first half points. The score was 52 to 40 with the ladies headed to the locker room after the first half of play.

Out of the locker room the Lady chargers began to pick up the pace playing with a much higher tempo to begin the third quar-ter of play. This allowed them to spread the floor out wide and opened up the lane for the young freshman guard, LaRae Roscoe of Indianapolis. She led the Chargers in scoring

for the second half of play as it was obvious the Lady Chiefs started to clamp down and defend the Charger’s Krueger after a big first half of play.

They held Krueger to just six second half points, but failed to keep the rest of the Lady Chargers in check. Roscoe would find the bottom of the basket for 16 second-half points, including a couple of perfect free throw in the third quarter to round out the first 24 minutes of play with a demanding 78 to 59 advantage.

In the fourth quarter, the Lady Chargers began to slow the game down in control of the great hands of LaRae Roscoe. With just six minutes remaining, the Lady Chargers would use all 30 seconds of the shot clock to complete offensive maneuvers and add to their advantage while keeping the Lady

Chiefs to their shortest point total by quarter in the afternoon at just 13.

The final horn sounded with the Lady Chargers grabbing their second win of the season at home in their first two games and advance to 2 and 0 while the Lady Chiefs of WCC fell to 0 and 2. The Lady Chargers will continue their season on the road this coming week as they travel to Fort Wayne’s Saint Francis on Wednesday night.•ANCILLA 98, WAUBONSEE 70at PlymouthWaubonsee 19 21 17 13 - 70Ancilla 28 25 25 20 - 98Waubonsee (70) - Wanwyhe 9 5-7 23, Kempiak 4 1-4 9m Farren 3 0-0 7, Clark 0 2-4 2, Goff 8 1-2 19.

Colts hope they can build on 20-14 winHOUSTON (AP) — In a difficult

season, the Indianapolis Colts hope that their 20-14 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday that snapped a three-game skid can propel them to better results in their last seven games.

“Nobody remembers all the other stuff,” receiver T.Y. Hilton said. “November football is different. We wanted to get a win and start off on the right foot.”

Hilton was the main reason the Colts (3-6) avoided losing four straight games for the first time under coach Chuck Pagano. He had 175 yards receiving with two touchdowns as Indianapolis also ended a three-game losing streak to Houston.

Jacoby Brissett threw for 308 yards for his second 300-yard game this sea-son and tied a season high with two touchdown passes. The Colts will look to him to finish out the season after Andrew Luck was placed on injured reserve this week. Brissett, who was traded from New England in early September, has appeared in every game this season and started the past seven with Luck out all season recov-ering from January shoulder surgery.

He found Hilton much more often on Sunday after the two had failed to connect consistently in the past three games where Hilton had just 61 yards receiving combined.

Some things to know about Indy’s

win over the Texans.MOVING UP

Adam Vinatieri scored eight points on Sunday to move past Gary Anderson for second on the NFL’s career scoring list with 2,442 points. He made field goals of 22 and 53 yards and two extra points. Vinatieri, who will turn 45 next month, needs 103 more points to pass Morten Andersen for first place.

“He’ll go down as the greatest of all time,” Pagano said. “Now, he’s chasing the other Andersen. Future first-ballot Hall of Famer and I’m glad I have a front-row seat.”SAVAGE STRUGGLES

Houston quarterback Tom Savage had a tough time in the first game since Deshaun Watson sustained a sea-son-ending knee injury in practice.

He failed to move the ball for much of the game with Houston’s first points on offense not coming until he threw a TD pass to DeAndre Hopkins with about six minutes remaining.

That was the first career touchdown pass for Savage, who made the fourth start of his career on Sunday. He fin-ished 19 of 44 for 219 yards. Savage, who started the opener but was benched at halftime for Watson, had a chance to win it for the Texans on the last play but was sacked and fumbled.

He denied that rust played any part in his performance.SCOOPING THEM UP

Lamarr Houston’s 34-yard fumble

return for a touchdown in the second quarter was Houston’s second fumble return for a touchdown this season, giving the team its most in a season since 2009. The Texans are the only team that has forced at least one fum-ble in every game this season and has 10 players who have forced at least one this season, led by Jadeveon Clowney who has two.NO ANSWERS

Indianapolis cornerback Vontae Davis did not make the trip to Houston for what the team called a non-injury related reason.

Pagano said Davis would be active next week, but refused to provide any details about why he didn’t travel this week. He was asked about it three different ways and each time he would only say: “It’s a coach’s decision.”CLOWNEY COMING

Houston defensive end Jadeveon Clowney continues to lead the defense with J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus out for the season with injuries. The top overall pick in the 2014 draft fin-ished with four tackles, a sack and a quarterback hit on Sunday. He has five sacks this season and 15½ in his career.

He wasn’t interested in talking about his performance since the team lost.

“We didn’t win so we didn’t play too good,” he said. “When we play good we win games ... don’t care about nobody playing good. You’re losing. So we’ve got to get back to work.”

Glenn runs past Knox, 48-29

WALKERTON — The Lady Falcons start their season 1-0 defeating Knox 48-29.

In an early close game, the Falcons were able to surge passed the Redskins behind sharp shooting Mariah Plunkett, who hit four 3’s along with scoring the game high 23 points. Other top scorers for the Falcons were Bethany Hayden with 9 pts and Morgan Plunkett with 5 pts.

Other standout performances defensively and rebounding were Riley Groves and Dessa Lang.•GLENN 48, KNOX 29At WalkertonKnox 9 8 4 8 - 29John Glenn 14 6 14 14 - 48

The Big Ten suddenly has a whole lot more riding on No. 6 Wisconsin.

As skeptics claim the unbeaten Badgers padded their record with a weak schedule and the College Football Playoff selection committee appears to be equally unim-pressed, Wisconsin finds itself on a mission.

The league’s playoff spot may depend on it.With two of the conference’s top teams losing for a sec-

ond time Saturday, Wisconsin — which dropped two spots in The Associated Press college football poll despite a win — becomes the Big Ten’s best hope of making college foot-ball’s Final Four.

“This whole week we wanted to send our message and say that we’re a really good team and people should respect us,” fullback Alec Ingold said after scoring three touch-downs in the Badgers’ 45-17 win at Indiana . “At halftime, we were kind of looking around at each other like, ‘This is our chance.’ We didn’t start fast but we felt like we could definitely finish the way we wanted.”

The Badgers can clinch the Big Ten West and a trip to the conference title game with a victory against No. 25 Iowa in Madison, Wisconsin, next Saturday.

They left nothing to chance against the Hoosiers, rally-ing from a 10-0 first-half deficit with 24 consecutive points before sealing the win by scoring the last 21.

It was good enough to get a win on the road — something Ohio State and Penn State, the expected national contend-ers, failed to do.

When the Buckeyes went down 55-24 at Iowa and the Nittany Lions fell 27-24 at Michigan State, Wisconsin (9-0, 6-0, CFP No. 9) became the last Big Ten team with fewer

Pilot News • Monday, November 6, 2017 Page A11SportsHarvick passes Truex for Texas win, both clinch title shots

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The timing was perfect for Kevin Harvick’s first NASCAR Cup Series victory at Texas. So was his winning pass.

Harvick went around the outside of Martin Truex Jr. for the lead with 10 laps to go, then stayed in front the rest of the way Sunday to earn his championship shot in NASCAR’s finale.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Harvick, who had won five Xfinity races and a NASCAR Truck race there in the past. “Great to check that one off.”

Truex led 107 of 334 laps and was still up front until his bobble on the backstretch that allowed Harvick to take the lead. But Truex, with a significant points lead and wins in three of the eight playoff races, also locked into one of the four spots to race for the championship at Homestead in two weeks.

“A little disappointed to come up short, but to clinch a spot in Miami is unbelievable,” Truex said. “Definitely got the job done today, and came here and did what we needed to.”

Kyle Busch had already clinched a championship spot with his win at Martinsville a week ago to start the third round of the playoffs. That leaves only one spot up for grabs among the five remaining playoff contenders next week at Phoenix.

After doing a long burnout along the frontstretch in the No. 4 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing, Harvick went to Victory Lane, where the Texas celebration was missing the traditional firing of six-shooters by the winner.

TMS officials bypassed the use of the pistols after a man opened fire inside a church in a small community about 300 miles south of the track near San Antonio ear-lier Sunday. Authorities in South Texas said the shooter killed more than 20 people and wounded at least 10 others before being killed or killing himself.

Denny Hamlin, another of the playoff contenders, fin-ished third, while Brad Keselowski was fifth and Ryan Blaney sixth. Chase Elliott finished eighth, and his team-mate Jimmie Johnson dealt with a loose car all day and finished 27th.

Keselowski dropped from third to fourth in points, 57 behind Truex. Hamlin is fifth in the standings, followed by Ryan Blaney, Elliott and seventh-time Cup champion Johnson.

“I’d feel confident if we were locked in. These races you don’t know what’s gonna happen,” Keselowski said.

Elliott knows that feeling, having been in the lead and two laps shy of the checkered flag at Martinsville before getting wrecked by Hamlin. Instead of the possible win then that would have clinched a championship spot, he now likely has to win at Phoenix to advance.

“Yeah, I guess. ... I assume so,” Elliott said. “We’ll just go on to Phoenix. We are going to try our best, try to get a victory and go on to Homestead.”

Harvick felt good about his car all day, but had to earn the victory in Texas. Tony Stewart, the former Cup champion and car owner, liked what he saw in those last 20-25 laps.

“It wasn’t just the fact of winning this race, but it’s just how it was won,” Stewart said. “I know Kevin, and I can tell watching his driving style, there’s something that field and those other three guys that are going to make it to Homestead here in a couple of weeks, they’ve got something to be worried about.”

After several laps chasing down Truex, Harvick was eventually able to get around the No. 78 when he exe-cuted on a cue he had taken from watching Kyle Larson driving really deep into turn one earlier in the race.

“I knew I needed to do something different in order to get past Martin. I tried to just start driving it in there and we kept going faster and faster,” Harvick said. “I kept driving it in there and one lap I got close enough to get the air off the back of his car. I actually got to the outside and was able to pass him on the outside.”

Then to Victory Lane and a championship shot.JIMMIE’S TOUGH DAY

Johnson got to Texas only three points out of the top four, and had won there for the seventh time last spring. But he had to make an early stop because of a vibration issue. “It was just a bad day that kept getting worse,” he said after finishing 27th place, his second-worst finish in his 29 Texas races.

than two losses. Committee members have never put a two-loss team in the playoff.

The bizarre twists have also made the East Division a jum-bled mess.

No. 13 Michigan State and No. 11 Ohio State head into next weekend’s showdown in Columbus tied for the division lead at 5-1.

No. 16 Penn State and No. 21 Michigan are one game behind at 4-2. All are 7-2. The Nittany Lions are reeling after back-to-back losses to the Buckeyes and Spartans while the Wolverines’ losses came to their in-state rival and Penn State.

Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany declined an interview request to talk about the Big Ten’s postseason prospects Saturday night.

The big question is whether Wisconsin belongs in the cham-pionship conversation after playing no ranked teams and facing only two teams that currently have winning records.

“We can’t really control that,” quarterback Alex Hornibrook said. “We just have to control what we’ve got to control. It’s each game. It’s this game, and we’re doing a good job so far.”

The Badgers’ 10-game winning streak is tied with Georgia for the second longest in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Their 12 consecutive conference wins are a school record. They are one of five unbeaten FBS teams.

The defense is No. 5 nationally in points allowed, yards allowed, yards rushing allowed and sacks. It’s No. 1 in pass efficiency allowed and defensive red-zone TD percentage.

Wisconsin has the Big Ten’s top runner, Jonathan Taylor, and a veteran quarterback who showed Indiana he can make enough big plays to keep defenses honest.

SOUTH BEND — The Notre Dame Fighting Irish made history Saturday against the Wake Forest Deacons — and then they didn’t. The all-time record for offensive yards in a single game was 720 yards, a mark set by the 1969 team against Navy.

The Irish were without work-horse Josh Adams for the majority of the game after he suffered an undisclosed injury before the end of the first quarter.

“We were just really cautious with Josh,” said head coach Brian Kelly. “Josh was really being con-servative. He was not ruled out of the game other than him just not feeling right. He had a busy week. He made all those hats by himself this week and stayed up late. He had a busy week with exams and he was a bit run down this week. He wasn’t feeling himself so we were really conservative with him in terms of not putting him in the game.”

The Irish leaned heavily on redshirt sophomore quarterback Brandon Wimbush. Luckily for Notre Dame, he delivered argu-ably one of his best games of 2017.

“I think I made the plays obvi-ously necessary to win the game,” said Wimbush. “I think I left a lot of plays out there that when we face an opponent who takes

advantage of me not making those plays it’ll cost us. I do think there’s always room to improve.”

Wimbush was the leading rusher for Notre Dame as he accumulated

110 yards on just 12 carries. He also accounted for two of the four Notre Dame rushing touchdowns on the night. Joining Wimbush in

the ground effort were four other players with rushing longs of 30 yards or more including Deon McIntosh and Tony Jones.

“You could put a lot of different

running backs behind that offen-sive line and anybody would pro-duce,” continued Wimbush. “The rest of the backs do a great job of preparing throughout the week. When they have their opportu-nity they take advantage of it. Obviously, it’s a testament to up front, continuing the dominance and opening up holes for the guys.”

Through the air, Wimbush added 280 yards and one touch-down. The scary thing is the num-ber of yards the Irish could have had. Several of Wimbush’s pass-es deep downfield were dropped. Chase Claypool was the only Notre Dame receiver with more than 40 yards. Claypool tallied a career day with nine receptions, 180 yards and one touchdown.

When the Irish took posses-sion the final time of the night, they had amassed a staggering total of 723 yards offensive yards. Unfortunately, Notre Dame had already sealed a 48-37 victory and only needed to take two knees to run the clock out. The first knee dropped Notre Dame to 721 yards of offense. The second dropped them to 720 where they stayed until time expired. The two knees took away the record-breaking performance and simply allowed Notre Dame to tie the record. Overall, Notre Dame finished with 340 yards passing and 380 yards rushing.
