FROM STAFF REPORTSBUTLER — Butler Police

confi scated methamphetamine labs in two separate incidents Sunday, Police Chief James K. Nichols said.

Around 3:15 p.m. Sunday, police encountered what Nichols described as a “very dangerous situation” involving what he described as a mobile meth lab.

Police received a report of a suspicious man in the 500 block of West Main Street. When Assistant Chief Matt Traster and Detective

Matt Tamez arrived, they found Bruce L. Jones, 26, of Northcrest Mobile Home Park, carrying a small backpack. Jones gave police consent to search the backpack, and police allegedly found several items commonly associated with the manufacture of meth, Nichols reported.

“This subject was basically carrying a mobile meth lab on his back at the time he was talked to by our offi cers,” Nichols said. Jones has been charged with possession of two or more precur-

sors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a park or school, a Class C felony.

Later Sunday, police responded to a residence in the 200 block of East Main Street to continue an investigation that began Saturday night. Tamez found two active, one-pot meth labs on the property. Police evacuated the property and called the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team to dismantle the labs.

“We had to shut U.S. 6 down

for a brief amount of time at the request of Indiana State Police” due to the serious nature of the meth labs, Nichols said.

Police arrested Brandon Rhodes, 20, of the 200 block of East Main Street, Butler, on a charge of dealing in methamphet-amine, a Class A felony.

“Detective Matthew Tamez and Assistant Chief Matt Traster worked very hard, and the fruits of their hard work are three more meth labs off the streets of Butler,” Nichols said.

Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann, left, talks with Noble County economic development director Rick Sherck and Tom Ducheteau of Laketronics in Cromwell following a discussion with local

industry and agriculture leaders at B & J Medical Inc. of Kendallville Tuesday. The visit was part of her Listen & Learn Tour of Indiana’s 92 counties.

BY DENNIS NARTKERdnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — “A sense of urgency” is how Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann described what she heard from local and area business leaders regarding their need for skilled workers.

Ellspermann stopped at B & J Medical Inc., on U.S. 6 west of Kendallville, and the Noble County Courthouse in Albion Tuesday afternoon as part of her Listen & Learn Tour of Indiana’s 92 counties.

At both sites, she listened to business leaders and elected offi cials to learn about the strengths, challenges and priori-ties of Noble County.

She also visited LaGrange County Tuesday morning for a Listen & Learn session at Yoder Popcorn Co. in Topeka.

LaGrange County and Noble County were the 70th and 71st counties on her six-month long tour.

Ellspermann said one topic of her conversation with business leaders was the need to develop a skilled work force.

“Beginning in the high school learning skilled trades that can lead to jobs in manufacturing and agriculture is something I heard a lot,” she said after the session. “They have the jobs, but need people with the skills.”

She said it was “eye-opening” for her how desperate local and area businesses are for skilled labor.

In Topeka, Ellspermann said, she heard similar comments from LaGrange County business leaders and elected offi cials.

“In agriculture, I heard there needs to be more amenities for young farmers in rural areas so they stay on the farms in the area,” she said.

Asked what the state is doing to address the problem, Ellesper-mann mentioned the Indiana Regional Works Council initia-

tive announced by Gov. Mike Pence and signed into law in April. Each region will bring educators and employers together to evaluate and develop career and technical education that meets the demands of employers in that region. Each region is responsible for preparing a comprehensive report for the governor and the education roundtable by Nov. 1.

State Rep. David Ober, R-Albion, attended both sessions. He supported the creation of the Indiana Regional Works Councils and the evaluation of available career, technical and vocational education opportuni-ties for high school students in the area.

Concerns at the government session included the loosening of controls on some funds so they can actually be used, and the bureaucracy created through the Department of Local Govern-ment Finance.

BUTLER — A major Butler waterworks improvement project moved one step closer to reality Monday.

Acting on earlier recommenda-tions from the Board of Works and Public Safety, the City Council approved measures to proceed with the project and sell municipal bonds to pay for it, not to exceed $1.4 million.

The project calls for replacing approximately 2,000 feet of water main in the 100 and 200 blocks of South Broadway and approximately 1,000 feet of water

main along East Green Street near Eastside Junior-Senior High School and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.

City offi cials believe the South Broadway water main is at least 100 years old. It has been repaired many times, particularly in the past several years.

In other business, the City Council approved:

• fi nal reading of an ordinance to rezone the Walter Prosser property along C.R. 61 from industrial to agricultural use;

• renewal of a lease with DeKalb Health for EMS quarters at the Butler fi re station. The

monthly lease will remain at $650; and

• a request from the Butler Police Department to participate in Operation Pullover. Off-duty offi cer salaries will be paid with a grant.

Leaf pickup service has begun in Butler, according to Mayor Ron Walter and Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck. Residents are asked to rake leaves to the curb, but not into the street.

The Butler-Wilmington Fire Territory board will meet Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at the fi re station.

In a Board of Works meeting Monday, city planner Steve

Bingham reported he and Butler’s building inspector identifi ed several properties that need attention and may require action by the board’s unsafe building committee. One vacant industrial property — the former Engineered Materials building — and several residential properties were identi-fi ed.

While he was not present Monday, street superintendent Ted Miller is “not happy” that API Construction has delayed street paving until early November, Eck said.

Street work was scheduled to begin Oct. 14.

Butler council approves water main project

Ellspermann hears of need for more skilled workers

WASHINGTON (AP) — A dim view of the U.S. job market emerged Tuesday with a report that employers cut back on hiring in September just before a partial government shutdown began.

Just 148,000 jobs were added last month, a steep drop from August’s gain, though they were enough to lower unemployment to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent in August. The report bolsters expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its pace of bond purchases for the rest of 2013 to try to keep long-term loan rates low.

The government’s release of the September jobs report had been delayed 2½ weeks by the shutdown. Temporary layoffs during the 16-day shutdown will probably depress October’s job gain. That means a clear picture of the job market won’t emerge before November jobs fi gures are issued in December.

“The economy is too fragile for the Federal Reserve to touch,” Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University, said. “The shenanigans in Congress have hurt confi dence and increased uncertainties, most likely hurting both consumer and business spending as well as hiring.”

Average U.S. job growth has fallen sharply in the past three months after a promising start this year. The economy added an average of 143,000 jobs a month from July through September. That was down from the 182,000 average gain during from April through June and well below the 207,000-a-month pace from January through March.

Indy chamber fi ghts gay marriage ban

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Efforts to defeat an upcoming bid by Indiana lawmakers to add a gay marriage ban to the state constitution received a major boost Tuesday when the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce said it will oppose the ban.

The Indianapolis chamber said its board of directors voted Tuesday to adopt a position to work with “other business, faith and community organizations to defeat (the ban) at the Statehouse and, if necessary, to participate in any voter referendum on the issue.”

“The Indy Chamber is in the business of strength-ening our economy and attracting top talent to our region,” board Chairman John Thompson said in a statement. “The proposed marriage amendment does nothing to help show the nation that Indiana is a place that welcomes all, not just some, and we must be mindful of how actions such as this will impact our competitiveness on a national and global level.”

Waterloo school hosting harvest party

WATERLOO — Waterloo Elementary School and the Waterloo Elementary PTO will host the Waterloo Community Harvest Party on Friday from 5-7 p.m. at the school, 300 E. Douglas St.

“Students, families, and friends will be treated to a ‘fright-free’ evening of family-fun activities, including a ‘fright-free’ costume contest, a trunk-or-treat walk, games, popcorn and free drinks,” said school Principal Nicole Veit. “The event will benefi t the Warm-A-Heart Food Bank.”

For admission, parents and community members are asked to bring coats, hats, gloves or canned food items.

Prior to Friday, the PTO is asking for candy donations for the trunk-or-treat event. Donations may be dropped off at the school offi ce. Candy or treats must be store-bought, individually wrapped and sealed. For more information, contact the school at 920-1016.

Probe fi nds no proof offi cial took bribes

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A former Indianapolis prosecutor will not face charges that he accepted bribes while in offi ce.

U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett announced Tuesday that former Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi had been the target of a federal investigation. But he said successful cases against two of Brizzi’s associates had not yielded proof that Brizzi took bribes.

Former Deputy Prosecutor David Wyser in July agreed to a plea deal on federal bribery charges. Another Brizzi associate pleaded guilty to wire fraud.

Brizzi was under fi re for accepting $29,000 in campaign contributions from the father of a woman who was seeking a sentence reduction in a murder case and for arranging a lenient plea bargain for a business partner’s client.

Hogsett says he’ll report Brizzi’s conduct to the panel that oversees attorney discipline.

Work starting on resort expansion

FRENCH LICK (AP) — Work is starting on a $15.5 million expansion of the events center at the French Lick Resort in southern

Indiana.A ceremony was held

Monday to mark the beginning of construction at the resort that includes Orange County’s casino and the historic French Lick and West Baden Springs hotels.

The expansion expected to open in January 2015 will add nearly 60,000 square feet of space to the resort’s existing 109,000-square-foot conference and event center, The Herald-Times reported.

Expanding the events center will open it up to more companies and organizations, said Steve Ferguson, chairman of French Lick Resort’s parent company, Blooming-ton-based Cook Group.

Police dog bites boy during exhibition

BRAZIL (AP) — A western Indiana police department’s search dog is off the job after biting an 11-year-old boy’s leg during a demonstration inside the county courthouse.

Brazil police chief Clint McQueen says the boy suffered puncture wounds to his calf when the dog bit him during a mock drug search being done for elementary school students as part of a Red Ribbon Awareness week kick-off event at the Clay County Courthouse.

McQueen tells WTHI-TV

the dog responded to a sudden movement by the boy and released his bite within seconds after commands from his handler.

McQueen tells The Brazil Times it was an unfortunate accident. He says the dog won’t do police work until test results from a veteri-narian are returned.

Banana paint job can stay on house near Purdue campus

WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — The large yellow banana painted the full length of a two-story rental house near the Purdue University campus gets to stay.

The banana was painted last spring on the house, and West Lafayette offi cials

have questioned whether it violates a zoning ordinance that bans houses from being used as billboards. The mural doesn’t include any wording, but rental company Granite Management uses a banana as its advertising logo.

Dave Buck, West Lafayette’s city engineer, told the Journal & Courier that no action will be taken against the mural.

“It is a bit of a close call on free speech grounds,” he said. “It is receiving very few, if any, complaints. We would obviously revisit the issue if further displays start cropping up.”

The house is now mostly gray with the banana’s stem starting near the roof’s peak at the front of the house and the banana image wrapping around the side.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana schools chief Glenda Ritz says the State Board of Education violated state law by secretly drafting a letter to top lawmakers asking them to have legisla-tive analysts calculate A-F grades for schools instead of her department.

A lawsuit fi led Tuesday alleges that 10 members of the board violated the Open Door Law last week when they asked Senate President Pro Tempore David Long and House Speaker Brian Bosma to have the Legisla-tive Services Agency calculate the grades for 2012-2013. Both signed off on the request Friday.

The release of the grades has been delayed amid an overhaul of the formula, which fi gured prominently in a grade-changing scandal involving former state schools chief Tony Bennett.

Bennett resigned as Florida’s schools chief in August after The Associ-ated Press reported he had overhauled Indiana’s grading formula after a charter school founded by a top Republican donor received a low grade. That school, which Bennett routinely cited as a top-per-former, received an A under the revised formula. Other schools also saw improve-ments.

The lawsuit also illustrates growing tensions between Republicans and Ritz, the lone Democrat holding a statewide offi ce in Indiana. Since Ritz defeated Bennett last November, lawmakers have consid-ered diluting her power, a Bennett ally on the board has taken control of long-term planning for the group and Gov. Mike Pence created a second education agency charged with shaping education policy along with job-training initiatives.

Ritz chairs the State Board of Education, but all its members were appointed by Pence or former Gov. Mitch Daniels.

Democratic leaders in the House and Senate blasted the state board’s move in a statement Tuesday.

“Instead of working with the department, the

Pence-appointed Board of Education has prodded Republican legislative leadership to subvert the process, and in doing so, unashamedly trampled state law and politicized the traditionally non-par-tisan Legislative Services Agency,” Sen. Tim Lanane and Rep. Scott Pelath said.

Ritz, who serves as chairwoman of the education board, said the members “over-stepped their bounds” and ignored state law requiring public notice for the meeting in which the letter was drafted.

“I do not take this action lightly, but my obligations as elected state superinten-dent require it,” she said in a statement.

Christy Denault, a spokeswoman for Pence, said the governor supported the state board’s actions and is “confi dent that all relevant Indiana laws were followed.”

Republican leaders have been frustrated with the slow release of the grades. The rankings are based largely on ISTEP+ scores, which were delayed after computer issues knocked thousands of students offl ine during the test this spring.

Ritz spokesman David Galvin says the review of the Bennett grade-change scandal further pushed the timeline for releasing grades to November.

The Department of Education says no data will be available to share with the Legislative Services Agency until Nov. 5, the deadline for rescoring disputed tests.

Bosma and Long told The Journal Gazette on Monday that preliminary rankings could be calculated and then tweaked after the rescores are decided. Long said teacher evaluations and raises are being held up because of the delay.

State Board of Education member Cari Whicker said she doesn’t want to strip Ritz of her authority to run the calculations.

“The big concern is we are statutorily obligated to give out A-F grades, so we feel this sense of responsi-bility,” Whicker said.

AUBURN — Learning Link DeKalb County hosted an open community meeting Oct. 14 at First United Methodist Church in Auburn.

Approximately 60 people heard the most recent accomplishments of Learning Link’s fi ve action teams. During the discus-sion, team members turned the tables and posed their most pressing questions to audience members, looking for input on meeting their team goals.

In progress reports, parenting education reporter Melissa Eshbach announced that Indiana News Center will run the team’s parenting videos as public service announce-ments, perhaps as early as this month. Eshbach also stated that major revisions have been made to the parent resources brochure and website, DeKalbLearn-ingLink.org, making the site more user-friendly to people seeking parenting programs. Revised brochures are being distrib-uted and are also available from the website.

Jerry Yoder, reporting for the adult education and training team, shared Feb. 27 as the date of a 2014 Career Development Expo being planned by the DeKalb Chamber Partner-ship, WorkOne Northeast, the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership and Learning Link adult education and training team. Their objective is to attract high school juniors and seniors, the under-employed and the unemployed. At the expo, students and adults can learn about present and future job openings in the area, along with corresponding education and skill requirements.

Yoder asked audience members how to increase the number of high school students who attend the

expo. DeKalb High School Principal Kyle Kirby responded, “We have to show students the relevance and be specifi c about how students will benefi t.”

The director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership, Ken McCrory, asked the team to use the opportunity to educate students about career opportunities in manufacturing.

“Kids are missing this at all levels of their education,” McCrory said.

The progress of the School-Business Partner-ships team was reported by Chris Straw and Becky Pfeffer. Straw noted “a signifi cant increase in the number of students county-wide with experiential learning opportunities; the number rose from 779 in 2011, to 1,031 in 2013. We’re seeing signifi cant progress being made with

businesses wanting to partner with schools.”

Julia Tipton and Megan Curtis, in their report for the Third-grade Literacy team, said they were “very happy with the increase in I-READ 3 scores,” though they cautioned that I-READ 3 provides only one piece of data. Countywide, 94 percent of third-grade students passed I-READ 3 in 2013.

In later discussion of testing in schools, a parent in the audience said her children in fi fth and sixth grades were becoming “test-weary.” Tipton, principal at McKenney-Harrison Elementary School in Auburn, said, “Different tests measure different things to give us a complete picture. In between that testing is really good instruction.”

The Early Childhood

team’s progress was reported by Deb Argast, who shared that the number of children entering kindergarten prepared for school success, based on the team’s readiness screening, had “plateaued” around 54 percent with no signifi cant change from 2012 to 2013.

Another question that drew discussion was: “What are the barriers to families accessing quality child care and education for their children?” Audience members cited a lack of awareness of the importance of early childhood education, lack of awareness of the options available for child care and education for young children, differing values, and stressed family budgets.

At the meeting’s close, Judy Sorg, Learning Link director, announced that

United Way is receiving resources that will enable them to provide leadership for coordinating efforts for DeKalb County children, ages birth to 3, in a way that supports the Early Childhood team’s goals.

“We’re thrilled about the new collaboration and its possibilities,” Sorg said.

MADISON (AP) — A southern Indiana courthouse plans to install 13 cameras as part of an ongoing effort to increase security.

The Madison Courier reports the motion-activated cameras will be placed in courtrooms throughout the building and will be linked to a common server.

The equipment will cost about $17,000.

The move follows a decision to move the courthouse’s public

entrance so visitors can’t bypass the metal detector and security desk. Visitors had been accessing offi ces, restrooms and a stairwell leading to the second fl oor without going through security.

Sheriff John Wallace says the courthouse added security offi cers and metal detectors this summer. His department has arrested at least 10 people on drug charges and found visitors with guns and knives.

AUBURN — The John Houlton Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolu-tion met Oct. 12 at the Willennar Genealogy Center.

Betty Bridgwater, Regent, conducted the opening ritual, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, the American Creed, and the Star Spangled Banner, led by Julie Skelly. Donnabell Scheerer gave the invoca-tion.

Mary Jane Smith presented a National Defense report about cyber threats and DAR projects supporting military families.

Karen Bash read the minutes of the last meeting, and Linda Quick gave the treasurer’s report.

Hostesses for the meeting were Reba Sliger, Alice Richards and Lynne Kaiser.

Rachel Roberts, Linda Quick and Mary Jane Smith presented a program about aprons, the history of aprons, and “wash day blues.”

Linda Quick read a “recipe” about doing laundry a grandmother wrote down for a new bride. Mary Jane

Smith presented two readings entitled “Grandma’s Apron.”

Roberts discussed types of aprons and showed illustrations depicting people in the 1500s wearing aprons.

Dutch artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s paintings show peasants at work wearing aprons during harvests and daily tasks. Most aprons in that time were worn by men as they worked as cobblers, tailors, bakers, etc.

Apron designs and types refl ect cultural periods. During Oliver Cromwell’s time in England, aprons were austere. When Charles II was on the throne, aprons became highly decorated with lace and embroidery.

During the 1920s, many women discarded their aprons and “bequeathed them to their maids.”

Some aprons serve utilitarian purposes, and others qualify as “cutesy, hostess aprons” reminiscent of the 1950s and Ozzie and Harriet.

Popular today are chef aprons, which men like to wear to BBQ, grill, and demonstrate cooking skills. Another popular type of apron is the Japanese apron, commonly known as a

smock apron.The next meeting of the John

Houlton Chapter is Nov. 9 at the Willennar Genealogy Center.

The report “reinforces the impression that the labor market was losing a little momentum heading in to the shutdown,” said Josh Feinman, global chief economist at Deutsche Asset and Wealth Manage-ment. “The labor market is continuing to create jobs. …It’s just frustratingly slow.”

Stocks rose after the report was released, in part because slower job gains mean the Fed will continue its stimulus efforts. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 50 points in midday trading.

Economists at Barclays now predict the Fed won’t trim its bond purchases until March, much later than its previous forecast of December.

A tight job market has discouraged many Americans from looking for work. The percentage of Americans working or looking for work remained at a 35-year low last month.

The government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they are actively looking for work. Most of

the drop in the unemploy-ment rate this year has occurred because many people have either given up looking or have postponed their job searches by remaining in school.

The September jobs report showed that some higher-paying industries added jobs at a healthy pace. Construction companies, for example, added 20,000.

Transportation and warehousing gained 23,400 jobs, governments 22,000. Manufacturers added 2,000.

Lower-paying industries were mixed. Hotels and restaurants cut about 11,000 jobs, after strong hiring earlier this year. Retailers added 21,000 positions.

The budget impasse didn’t stop Accumold, which makes components for medical devices, smartphones and other electronic goods, from boosting its workforce. CEO Roger Hargens said the Ankeny, Iowa-based company fi lled jobs in September and plans to add up to 65 to its 185-worker staff in the next few months.

Hargens says he is seeing

more orders from customers who are shifting from Chinese manufacturers to U.S. suppliers.

“There’s a big trend to move manufacturing back to the United States,” he said. “It’s really speeding up now for us.”

Last month, average hourly U.S. pay ticked up 3 cents to $24.09. In the past year, pay has risen 2.1 percent, ahead of the 1.5 percent infl ation rate.

The government revised its estimates of job growth in July and August to show a slight net gain of 9,000. It said employers added 193,000 jobs in August, more than the 169,000 previously estimated. But it said just 89,000 were added in July, the fewest in more than a year and below the earlier estimated 104,000.

The deceleration in job growth was a key reason the Fed decided in September to hold off on slowing its $85-billion-a-month in bond purchases. Many economists think the lack of clean data will lead the Fed to put off any decision on the bond purchases until 2014.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twice this year alone, Air Force offi cers entrusted with the launch keys to nuclear-tipped missiles have been caught leaving open a blast door that is intended to help prevent a terrorist or other intruder from entering their underground command post, Air Force offi cials have told The Associated Press.

The blast doors are never to be left open if one of the crew members inside is asleep — as was the case in both these instances — out of concern for the damage an intruder could cause, including the compromising of secret launch codes.

Transgressions such as this are rarely revealed publicly. But offi cials with direct knowledge of Air Force intercontinental ballistic missile operations told the AP that such violations have happened, undetected, many more times than in the cases of the two launch crew commanders and two deputy commanders who were given administrative punish-ments this year.

The blast door violations are another sign of serious trouble in the handling of the nation’s nuclear arsenal. The AP has discovered a series of problems within the ICBM force, including a failed safety inspection, the temporary sidelining

of launch offi cers deemed unfi t for duty and the abrupt fi ring last week of the two-star general in charge. The problems, including low morale, underscore the challenges of keeping safe such a deadly force that is constantly on alert but is unlikely ever to be used.

The crews who operate the missiles are trained to follow rules without fail, including the prohibition against having the blast door open when only one crew member is awake, because the costs of a mistake are so high.

The offi cers, known as missileers, are custodians of keys that could launch nuclear hell. The warheads on the business ends of their missiles are capable of a nuclear yield many times that of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945.

“The only way that you can have a crew member be in ‘rest status’ is if that blast door is shut and there is no possibility of anyone accessing the launch control center,” said Lt. Gen. James Kowalski, the commander of Air Force Global Strike Command. He is responsible for the entire force of 450 Minuteman 3 missiles, plus the Air Force’s nuclear-ca-pable bombers.

The written Air Force instruction on ICBM weapon safety, last updated

in June 1996, says, “One crewmember at a time may sleep on duty, but both must be awake and capable of detecting an unauthorized act if … the Launch Control Center blast door is open” or if someone other than the crew is present.

The blast door is not the fi rst line of defense. An intruder intent on taking control of a missile command post would fi rst face many layers of security before encountering the blast door, which — when closed — is secured by 12 hydraulically operated steel pins. The door is at the base of an elevator shaft. Entry to that elevator is controlled from an above-ground building. ICBM missile fi elds are monitored with security cameras and patrolled regularly by armed Air Force guards.

Each underground launch center, known as a capsule for its pill-like shape, monitors and operates 10 Minuteman 3 missiles.

The missiles stand in reinforced concrete silos and are linked to the control center by buried communications cables. The ICBMs are split evenly among “wings” based in North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Each wing is divided into three squadrons, each responsible for 50 missiles.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — The 12-year-old student who opened fi re on a Nevada middle school campus, wounding two classmates and killing a teacher before he turned the gun on himself, got the weapon from his home, authorities said Tuesday.

Washoe County School District police said they are still working to determine how the boy obtained the 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun used in the Monday morning spree at Sparks Middle School. The boy’s parents are cooper-ating with authorities and could face charges in the case, police said.

Authorities say they’re withholding the seventh-grader’s name out of respect for his family.

At a news conference Tuesday, law enforce-ment and school offi cials again lauded the actions of 45-year-old math teacher and former Marine Michael Landsberry, who tried to stop the rampage before he was killed.

“I cannot express enough appreciation for Mr. Landsberry,” Washoe County School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez said. “He truly is a hero.”

The violence started before the fi rst bell of the day rang, as students fi led off buses and gathered for

class. The boy opened fi re outside a school building, hitting one 12-year-old student in the shoulder. He then headed toward a basketball court, where he encountered Landsberry.

The teacher walked calmly toward the shooter and lifted his hands, asking the boy to hand over his weapon.

“He was telling him to stop and put the gun down,” student Jose Cazares told NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday. “Then the kid, he yelled out ‘No!’ Like, he was yelling at him, and he shot him.”

Landsberry suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest.

Still, his actions gave students enough time to run to safety, according to Washoe County School District Police Chief Mike Mieras.

Police said they believe the shooter at one point tried to enter the school but couldn’t open the door because of emergency lockdown procedures.

After killing Landsberry, the boy fi red at a second student, hitting him in the abdomen. He then shot himself in the head.

The two 12-year-old boys who were wounded are in stable condition and recovering.

FORT WAYNE — Angola’s volleyball team fought off New Haven in the fi rst match of the Class 3A Bishop Dwenger Sectional Tuesday night to advance to semifi nal play Saturday.

The Hornets defeated the Bulldogs 25-12, 25-23, 18-25, 25-20. Angola (17-16) will play the host Saints in the fi rst semifi nal Saturday at 11 a.m.

“In the fi rst game, we almost won in six rotations. Then we lost a little bit of focus,” Hornets coach Trisha Perschke said. “But the girls showed their persever-ance to win the match. We decided to work hard to fi nish.”

“We had contributions from everybody. Molly Smith had some great blocks. Tori Yagodinski pulled through to get kills at key times. Lauren

Henderson has been our most consistent server all season long. But everybody served well and really placed it.”

The Bulldogs briefl y had the better start in the fi rst two games. Angola took control to dominate the fi rst game, then had to overcome a fl urry of errors late in game two to take a 2-0 lead.

The Bulldogs rallied from a 20-13 defi cit in game two to tie it eventually at 23. Then Yagodinski had a kill after a New Haven scramble to keep a play alive on defense. The Bulldogs then had a hitting error on match point.

In game three, New Haven started better and it lasted longer. But Angola recovered as Tana Willibey had two aces to cap a 7-0 run which put the Hornets ahead 8-6.

AHS rallied again later in the game. Smith had a kill to cap a 6-1 spurt which put the Hornets

in front 17-16. But the Bulldogs followed with the decisive run of the game. New Haven senior Courtney Tracey had three aces in a 6-0 spurt. That was part of a game-ending 9-1 run which extended the match.

The Hornets separated themselves from New Haven early in game four with a 6-0 run, including fi ve points on Paige Emke’s serve, to take an 11-5 lead. But New Haven never went away.

The Bulldogs tied the game four times, with the last deadlock at 20. But they never took a lead and Angola scored the fi nal fi ve points to end the match.

That spurt started with well-placed hits on the second touch by Claire Grubb and Brookston Perschke for points. It ended with two kills by the sophomore Smith.

Hornet spikers advance to semis

BOSTON (AP) — Lance Lynn squeezed through a door leading into the Green Monster, shimmied along a cramped space behind the famed left-fi eld wall and peered out a tiny metal slot in the Fenway Park scoreboard.

“A little snug for me,” the burly St. Louis pitcher said.

Plenty of Cardinals got their fi rst look at the century-old ballpark during a workout Tuesday, a day before they opened the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.

The Red Sox saw a neat sight, too. As they took batting practice at dusk, a giant, vibrant rainbow formed high in the sky beyond center fi eld. Slugger David Ortiz noticed.

“Oh, yeah,” he said. “It’s a Dominican thing.”

Whatever, Big Papi. Something special always seems to happen when the Redbirds and Red Sox meet, from Stan the Man vs. the Splendid Splinter, to Gibby vs. Yaz, to Pedro vs. Pujols.

Now, they’re set to meet for the fourth time in “that Octobery kind of air,” as Cardinals Game 1 starter Adam Wainwright described it.

Jon Lester will oppose him Wednesday night, facing a lineup

that got a late boost. Allen Craig, who hit a major league-leading .454 with runners in scoring position but hasn’t played since Sept. 4 because of sprained left foot, is set to return.

“I feel like I’m in a good spot,” said the cleanup man, who will be the Cardinals’ designated hitter.

Weather could be a factor. Temperatures are supposed to dip into the low 40s and rain is in the forecast.

Boston was listed as a slim favorite in the matchup between teams that tied for the big league lead in wins. The clubs haven’t met in the regular season since 2008, and Red Sox speedster Jacoby Ellsbury was looking forward to this pairing that some are billing as the Beards vs. the Birds.

“It will be exciting to see some unfamiliar faces,” he said.

Dustin Pedroia, Mike Napoli and many of their scraggly Boston teammates fi gure to get a good look at the Cardinals’ crop of young arms, led by postseason ace Michael Wacha and relievers Trevor Rosenthal, Carlos Martinez and Kevin Siegrist.

Ortiz is the link to the Red Sox team that swept St. Louis in the 2004 Series — Boston never

trailed at any point — and ended an 86-year championship drought.

“Obviously I’m aware of the history of the two teams,” Ellsbury said. “Once the fi rst pitch happens, all that goes out the window.”

The Red Sox are trying to win their third crown in 10 years. St. Louis is aiming to take its second

title in three years and third in eight seasons.

“Some of us have some pretty bad memories of being here in 2004, and we’re looking to kind of right that ship,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said.

Matheny was the Cardinals’ catcher that year, backed up by rookie Yadier Molina.

LIGONIER — Never mind that Whitko had defeated West Noble two weeks earlier.

The Chargers would have none of that in Tuesday’s fi rst-round sectional volleyball match, ousting the Wildcats from the tournament with a 25-15, 22-25, 25-21, 25-19 victory.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — When the NCAA’s long-awaited decision arrived Tuesday morning, Miami athletic director Blake James realized it was what he expected all along.

“Fair,” James said. “But signif-icant.”

And fi nal. The Miami-NCAA saga is over.

More than 2½ years after former booster and convicted felon Nevin Shapiro contacted the NCAA from prison and began detailing his role in rampant rule-breaking by those involved with Miami’s football and men’s basketball programs, the Hurricanes got their fi nal penalties. The most notable sanctions are the nine lost football scholarships over three years and one lost basketball scholarship in each of the next three seasons.

A three-year period of probation, which started Tuesday, and some recruiting restrictions are also part of the penance.

But for the fi rst time since 2010, Miami’s football team — currently undefeated and ranked No. 7 nationally — will be heading to a bowl game.

“I want to sincerely thank our student-athletes and their families who, not only stood with the University of Miami during this unprecedented challenge, but subsequently volunteered for the mission,” Miami football coach Al Golden said in a statement released by school offi cials. “They shouldered the burden, exhibited class and exemplifi ed perseverance for Hurricanes everywhere.”

Miami said in February that it would appeal any sanction beyond what it had already self-imposed.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Reggie Wayne was the Colts’ ballast.

When he was suddenly surrounded by rookies and newcomers last season, Wayne took it upon himself to show the youngsters how things were done in the NFL. When Andrew Luck had a question about a defense or a coverage, Wayne could provide the answer. And when Luck needed someone to bail him out on the fi eld, well, Wayne always seemed to get open.

Now the Colts need someone to fi ll in for Wayne.

“You can’t replace Reggie,” quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen said Tuesday. “I’ve been here 12 years and I’ve never seen him miss a game, and I’ve rarely seen him miss a practice. But you’ve got to take it and go and we’ve got some good young guys who are ready to do that.”

Indy (5-2) made everything offi cial Tuesday by putting Wayne on season-ending injured reserve for the fi rst time in his 13-year career. The move ended his streak of consecutive games played at 189.

Losing the perennial Pro

Bowler is a huge blow for a team that has a two-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South and has already beaten three of the league’s top teams — San Francisco, Seattle and Denver. And Wayne has played a huge role in Indy’s remarkably quick turnaround.

He’s seen and done it all — won a Super Bowl, two AFC titles, had four 100-catch seasons and endured the misery of a 2-14 season in 2011. Before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament late in his right knee Sunday night, on a low, underthrown ball he was coming back to catch, Wayne had moved into eight place on the NFL’s all-time receptions list (1,006) and was closing in on the top 10 in career yards receiving, too.

The 39-33 win over Denver moved Wayne into a three-way tie with John Unitas and Jeff Saturday for playing in the second-most career wins in franchise history (132). Peyton Manning holds the record at 141.

But in Indy, everyone knows Wayne’s contribu-tions go far deeper than stats. As Wayne lay on the

ground Sunday night, fans chanted “Reg-gie! Reg-gie!” and longtime teammates and close friends such as linebacker Robert Mathis and safety Antoine Bethea gathered around.

“The thing we’re really going to miss is their communication on the fi eld was getting really special,” receivers coach Charlie Williams said, referring to the bond between Darrius Heyward-Bey, T.Y. Hilton and Wayne.

What will the Colts do now?

There has been rampant speculation that general manager Ryan Grigson will again go shopping, and Grigson’s reputation as a dealer has played right into the rumors. Since joining the Colts in January 2012, he has made 16 trades including last month’s blockbuster to acquire running back Trent Richardson from Cleveland for a fi rst-round pick in 2014.

Some believe he will make another move during Indy’s bye week and before next week’s trade deadline.

The most popular names being fl oated are Kenny Britt, Josh Gordon and Hakeem Nicks, though, this time could be very different.

It’s unlikely the Titans would send the talented but struggling Britt to a team they’re chasing for the division title and that they will face Nov. 14 and Dec. 1.

And while Grigson and Browns CEO Joe Banner

have a relationship that dates to their time together in Philadelphia, and Nicks seems to fi t Grigson’s model, a young, talented player who hasn’t fulfi lled all expectations, Grigson may be running out of trade

bait.In addition to sending

that fi rst-round pick to the Browns, Indy also dealt a fourth-rounder in 2014 to Cleveland so they could take defensive tackle Montori Hughes in April.

Colts offi cially put Wayne on injured reserve

against NorthWood in another. Those winners will move to Saturday’s semifi nals. The title game is set for 5 p.m. on Saturday at West Noble.

Whitko ended its season with a 9-25 record.

“This was our best season since 1998,” said Whitko coach Brandy Smith. “West Noble was on their game. Obviously this isn’t how we wanted to end it.”

Rachel Schermerhorn produced 11 kills and 17 digs for the Chargers. Kelsie Peterson dished out 17 assists and had a team-high 27 digs.

West Noble also got eight kills, 10 digs and two aces from Taylor Fisher. Kenzie Tell had six kills, while Becca Schermerhorn and Taylor Rose each fi nished with seven digs.

“It was fantastic,” Powell said. “We came together as a team and had a lot of enthusiasm on the fl oor.”

The Chargers never trailed in the opening set. The squad jumped out 4-1 at the outset with the aid of two Kaylie Warble blocks and later came through with a 6-0 run that was capped by an ace from Amanda Huntsman. Vanessa Ratliff would eventually close Game 1 with a kill as the Chargers ruled 25-15.

The Chargers started just as well in Game 2, leading 6-1 following a Peterson ace. But Whitko rallied to tie the match at 13-13 and would slip past with a 25-22 win.

West Noble put together a 6-0 run in Game 3 that put the squad up by 10, at 15-5. Whitko rallied late in the

set, cutting the margin to 24-21, but a tip by Warble earned the game point, as the Chargers won 25-21.

“We rebounded that third set, came out with high energy,” Powell said.

Game 4 was close from start-to-fi nish. A 4-0 spurt midway through was key for the Chargers, with Warble coming through with two blocks and Teel connecting on a big kill.

Up 23-19 in the late going, Rachel Schermer-horn followed with a kill and then a Whitko kill sailed into the net for a 25-19 verdict to close the match.

The Chargers take a 6-25 record into Saturday’s semifi nal. This year’s group had just two seniors, Peterson and Rachel Schermer-horn.

Angola won all three matches with the Bulldogs this season. But Tuesday’s sectional contest was the fi rst that did not go the distance.

Now the Hornets will take on a Bishop Dwenger team that is around .500. But the Saints swept East Noble in Kendallville on Oct. 14. The Hornets lost at home to EN in four games to start their season on Aug.

22.Coach Perschke said her

team has more often played better against better teams. She hopes that happens during a long day in Fort Wayne Saturday.

“Dwenger has had a up-and-down year like we’ve had. But they play good teams we don’t play,” Perschke said. “We’ve got some things going on and we hope to bring those things on Saturday.”

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne (87) walks off the fi eld after injuring his knee during the second half of an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos in Indianapolis. One day after coach Chuck Pagano confi rmed that the Colts receiver had a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the Colts put their top receiver on season-ending injured reserve.

West Noble freshman Kenzie Tell has a block during Tuesday’s sectional match with Whitko.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — The Notre Dame offense the past four years hasn’t much resembled the squads Brian Kelly coached at Cincinnati and Central Michigan.

Not even close.The Irish are on pace to be

the worst offense Kelly has had in 10 years of coaching at the FBS-level and may have hit rock bottom in the second half Saturday against USC with the Irish unable to do anything behind backup quarterback Andrew Hendrix after starter Tommy Rees went down with a neck injury.

Even with Rees expected to play Saturday at Air Force (1-6), there are concerns about the Irish offense, which is ranked 85th in the nation in total offense at 374.3 yards a game.

That’s the worst output for the Irish in four seasons under Kelly, and markedly worse than last season when

the Irish averaged 412 yards a game, which was still only 54th in nation.

Kelly talked last spring about he hoped Notre Dame would be able to sometimes switch to the kind of no-huddle, hurry-up spread attack that Cincinnati used under him to fi nish fourth in the nation in scoring in 2009 at 38.6 points a game.

He talked in August about the offense needing to carry more of the burden this season after the Irish rode a dominant defense to the BCS title game. So far, though, the Irish offense hasn’t been holding up its end.

Kelly wouldn’t say Tuesday, why he hasn’t been able to have the success at Notre Dame offensively as he has elsewhere, other than again saying defense is the key to winning at Notre Dame.

Police: Someone saw E. Mich victim, didn’t call

YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — At least one person saw the mortally wounded Eastern Michigan University football player Demarius Reed lying in an apartment building stairwell but thought he’d just passed out from a party, Ypsilan-ti’s interim police chief told a community meeting Tuesday.

Tony DeGiusti also said that at least six people heard gunshots and others saw a fi ght in a parking lot.

But no one called police, not even the person who reports walking by Reed’s body, the chief said.

Police are offering $5,000 for clues to the killer’s identity and say they’re looking for anyone who attended a party at the off-campus University Green apartments where he was found dead.

The 20-year-old communications major from Chicago was shot multiple times Friday in what police say may have been a robbery.

Harvin set to returnRENTON, Wash. (AP) — Percy Harvin

was back on the practice fi eld for the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday.

When he fi nally gets into a game is still unknown.

Harvin was limited in his return to practice for the Seahawks. It was his fi rst work with the team since undergoing hip surgery in early August. Harvin said a bone in his hip was impacting his labrum and causing pain. He said it was a “cut and dry” decision to have the surgery, but diffi cult to accept joining a new team.

Harvin said he wants to get back into a game as soon as he can, but wants to be smart and not return too soon.

Dolphins fi le complaint about obscure rule

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins are well aware of the obscure new rule that drew a penalty on the Patriots and helped the Jets win in overtime last week.

The Dolphins complained to the NFL that a similar violation by the Ravens wasn’t called.

On Sunday, New England’s Chris Jones was fl agged for unsportsmanlike conduct for pushing a teammate into the Jets’ formation. The penalty negated a missed fi eld goal try, and the Jets then made a shorter kick for the victory.

The Dolphins complained to the league that a similar violation wasn’t called in Week 5 when Caleb Sturgis missed a 57-yard kick at the end of a 26-23 loss to Baltimore. Coach Joe Philbin said he became aware of the supposed infraction watching a tape of the game.

Injured IndyCar driver released from hospital

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar driver Justin Wilson has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Longmont, Colo., IndyCar offi cials announced Tuesday.

Wilson was injured Saturday night in the season fi nale at Fontana, Calif., when his car spun coming out of the second turn. It left a trail of smoke, which led to a multi-car crash. The English driver was transported and admitted to nearby Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. IndyCar’s medical director Dr. Michael Olinger diagnosed Wilson with non-op-erable pelvic fractures and a bruised lung.

Wilson spent the next two nights in the hospital before his release Monday.

Lincecum resigns with GiansSAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim

Lincecum is staying put with the San Francisco Giants just as he hoped, reaching agreement Tuesday on a $35 million, two-year contract through the 2015 season.

The deal is pending a physical, which hadn’t been set. Lincecum has a full no-trade clause.

General manager Brian Sabean said when the season ended that among his top priorities was bringing back the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, who also indicated he cherishes familiarity and wanted stay with the only club he has known. He pitched the Game 5 clincher in the 2010 World Series at Texas, then shifted to the bullpen and became a reliable reliever during the Giants’ 2012 run to their second title in three years.

Freeman set to remain Vikings starting quarterback

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings are reeling from another embarrassing performance.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Tuesday that he wouldn’t change his decision to start Josh Freeman at quarter-back against the New York Giants on Monday night. Freeman struggled through a 20-for-53 passing night in the 23-7 loss.

Frazier says he felt confi dent that Freeman had enough time to learn the offense and prepare for the job despite being with the team for just two weeks. The coach said he thought Freeman’s throwing mistakes were mechanical, not mental.

Frazier also said Freeman will still be the starter this week, when the Vikings host the Green Bay Packers.

ach of us can do something to help raise awareness about Indiana’s Safe Haven Law, which allows any responsible person to give up custody of a baby less than 30 days old in any hospital emergency

room, fi re station or police station in the state.DeKalb County’s efforts to increase

awareness of the Safe Haven Law were prompted by the tragic fi nding of a baby in a Dumpster in 2009. Fortunately, the baby survived. To prevent anything similar in the future, people from all walks of life can help with getting information out about the Safe Haven Law that provides safe places to relinquish a newborn baby. Adopted in 2000 and revised in 2013, the law states:

• A distressed parent to give up an unwanted infant safely, legally and confi dentially without fear of arrest or prosecution.

• A parent, family member, friend, minister or priest, social worker or any responsible adult may give up custody of a baby less than 30 days old to a hospital emergency room, fi re station or police station in Indiana.

• As long as there are no signs of intentional abuse on the baby, no information is required of the person leaving the baby. Any knowledge of the date of birth, race, parent medical history, child’s health or anything that would be useful to the child’s caregiver would be greatly appreciated.

• Once the baby is examined and given medical treatment (if needed), the child will be placed into the custody of the Indiana Division of Family and Social Services Administration, which places the infant in a foster or pre-adop-tive home.

Most adults can help in getting the word out in one way or another. Opportunities for sharing the information will come up in conversation, training events, seminars, etc.

DeKalb Health has a staff person to provide training on the law. Contact Cheryl Clark at 920-2518 or cclark@dekalbhealth.com for more information. The Community Foundation of DeKalb County and the United Way of DeKalb County have posters and information cards for distribution.

For more information, visit safehaven.tv or call 888-510-BABY.

ndiana became a state in 1816. Its political values, moral compass and physical boundaries were shaped by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.

The ordinance spelled out how new states would be added to the

Union and the rights that would be guaran-teed to citizens.

John J. Patrick, professor emeritus of education at Indiana University, calls the ordinance “a brilliant policy for governing a vast area north and west of the Ohio River — a liberal and innovative plan for colonial administration and national develop-ment.”

The document “is indisputably at the core of the American civic heritage, one of the most important political legacies we have,” Patrick said.

When the United States won the American Revolution, the 13 original states gained massive new lands stretching west to the Mississippi River and north to the Great Lakes. The Northwest Ordinance was one of several laws passed by the national Congress governing land division and westward migration.

It dealt specifi cally with the Old Northwest

— the Midwest today — out of which “not less than three nor more than fi ve States” were to be carved. The result? Ohio (1803), Indiana (1816), Illinois (1818), Michigan (1837) and Wisconsin (1848).

The ordinance set forth a process by which territories would elect legislatures, write consti-tutions and apply to the national government for statehood. It guaranteed new states would enter the union “on an equal footing with the original states” and specifi ed their probable geographic borders.

The Ohio River became Indiana’s southern boundary. The northern perimeter was a moving target for decades. After Ohio was admitted to the Union in 1803 and the Michigan Territory created in 1805, the boundary line was set at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. In 1816, the line was shifted 10 miles further north so Indiana could claim a bit of lakeshore.

The governance procedures set forth in the ordinance were as far-sighted as its commit-ment to individual dignity. Consider these enlightened promises:

Freedom of religion: “No person … shall ever be molested on account of his mode of worship or religious sentiments.”

Education: “Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good govern-ment and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.”

Respect of Native Americans: “The utmost good faith shall always be observed

towards the Indians … in their property, rights, and liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed.”

Sad to say, the promises were not always kept. Throughout the Northwest Territory, federal treaties stripped Native Americans of their homeland, and slavery existed despite the written ban. The 1800 federal census recorded 135 slaves in the Indiana Territory and 163 free blacks. Regular funding for public schools did not occur until after the mid 19th century.

Patrick laments that the typical high-school textbook contains less than a page on the Northwest Ordinance, calling it a seminal document in American history.

Many of its principles made their way into the Indiana Constitution of 1816. Though the ordinance was superseded by other laws, Hoosiers can take pride in its formative infl uence.

This is one in a series of essays leading up to the celebration of the Indiana Bicentennial in December 2016. The essays will focus on the top 100 events, ideas and historical fi gures of Indiana, beginning with the impact of the Ice Age and ending with the legacy of the Bicentennial itself.

Northwest Ordinance shaped Hoosier values

Recently, I sat in Busch Stadium for the fi rst time, surrounded by tens of thousands of St. Louis baseball fans as their Cardinals clinched the National League Central title with a 7-0 win over the Chicago Cubs.

It was a moment any Cardinals fan would have cherished. But I was there with my son Josh, dressed in his Cubs T-shirt.

I’m not quite sure how Josh’s love affair with the Cubs began.

Growing up in Michigan, I was a Detroit Tigers fan. The 1984 season — when the entire team, it seemed, had a career year, smashing multiple records on the way to a World Series win — will forever be etched in my memory. Sparky Anderson, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker, Jack Morris, Willie Hernandez, Kirk Gibson, Lance Parrish — they were legends in my young adolescent mind.

Then I left home to attend college in the Chicago area, and the connection to my home team waned a bit. I will always love the Tigers, but keeping up on them from afar in pre-World Wide Web days was a challenge, and so I put my energies into other things, like starting a career and a family.

I regarded Cubs fans with a mixture of amusement and pity, seeing as they hadn’t won the World Series since my grandparents were children, or

even been to the Series since World War II.

And then came Josh.In contrast to my somewhat

lukewarm interest in sports, my fi rstborn seemed to come out of the womb ready to watch and play baseball. We have video of him as a toddler in a diaper, swinging an empty wrapping paper tube as we tossed a toy

ball to him. Any chance we had to go outside (or sometimes stay inside) to play ball, he was all over it.

And for some reason, of the two baseball teams in Chicago, he latched on to the Cubs. And being a good dad, I cheered along with him.

Early on he learned the disappointments that come with hitching your cart to the so-called Loveable Losers. In 2003, a

second-grade Josh asked Shannon and I to stay up past bedtime to watch his Cubs, who were leading the Florida Marlins in the playoffs and would eventually get only fi ve outs away from making the World Series.

We said no but promised if they made the Series he could stay up past bedtime. Soon he was safely off in dreamland as Cubs fan Steve Bartman’s foul ball interference became the stuff of legend and Josh’s beloved Cubs eventually collapsed, losing the series to the Marlins and keeping Josh well-rested.

Two years later, the hated White Sox won the World Series

the day before Josh’s elementary school held a day for students to dress in the garb of their favorite sports team. Josh went to school dressed head to toe in Cubbie blue.

So when a college visit for my now-high school senior took us to southern Illinois on Sept. 27, Josh asked if we could take a little detour afterward to St. Louis to watch the Cubs play there.

We had no idea at the time we ordered the tickets that the Cardinals, longtime bitter rivals of the Cubs, might clinch the division that night, but as the day arrived, with the Cubs already long out of postseason contention, it turned out that either a Pirates loss or a Cardinals win would seal the deal.

The Pirates did their part to stave off disaster by winning, but

the Cubs couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain. We arrived from the college visit just as the game started, and I left our seats in the bottom of the fi rst inning to grab some dinner from the concession stands. By the time I returned, Chicago was down 3-0 and Chicago starter Travis Wood had been chased from the game.

Another Cubs collapse ensued, and Josh was once again left to wait for that elusive time when hope blooms again in the heart of Cubs fans:

Next year.

JAMES TEW thought the Tigers pulled off a Cubs-worthy collapse against the Red Sox and hopes the Cubbies really do win it all some day. He can be reached by email at jtew@kpcmedia.com.

OK, so start the negotiations in Congress already

A day after extracting a deal to reopen the federal government after a two-week standoff, a headline declared: “Democrats’ next goal: Immigration reform.”

Who are they kidding here?Don’t get us wrong, a rational discus-

sion and movement on immigration issues are overdue. But if straight questions about budgeting, the expense of health care reform and a mounting debt can’t be settled before furloughing huge chunks of the federal workforce, how can Democrats in the Senate believe immigration reform is within reach?

The government’s open — and largely on the president’s terms. He has the upper hand, if only barely. It would make sense to start the negotiations he said would happen on the budget and the debt.

Why wait until Christmastime and New Year’s to get working under the gun on something that sent the federal govern-ment to the brink on Oct. 1? Or maybe we already know the answer to that: No one in Washington, D.C., believes negotiation done without a cliff on the horizon is a realistic goal.

What Others Say•

Marriage next forWest, Kardashian

NEW YORK (AP) — Marriage is coming after the baby carriage for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Kardashian’s publicist, Ina Treciokas, confi rmed Tuesday that the couple are engaged.

E! News fi rst reported that West proposed to Kardashian Monday — her 33rd birthday — in front of family and friends at the AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.

Kardashian gave birth to the couple’s fi rst child, daughter North West, in June.

A photo posted on Instagram shows a screen at the stadium that reads “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!” — in typical West font — above a black-clad orchestra. Another shows Kardashian showing off a diamond ring with a smiling West behind her.

The Kardashian clan has a series of reality shows on E!, but the network said Tuesday it did not have cameras at the stadium to capture the moment.

Groom sentencedto one year for fake bomb threat

LONDON (AP) — A forgetful British bridegroom who made a hoax bomb threat rather than admit he’d neglected to book the venue for his wedding was sentenced Tuesday to a year in jail.

Neil McArdle called Liverpool’s St. George’s Hall from a phone booth on his scheduled wedding day in April, claiming a bomb was due to go off in 45 minutes.

His fi ancee, Amy Williams, was left standing in the street in her wedding gown while the building was evacuated.

McArdle, 36, was arrested the same day and admitted that he made the call because he had forgotten to fi ll out the paperwork for the wedding.

“He did say several times how embarrassed and ashamed he was and how sorry he was,” said prosecutor Derek Jones.

A judge at Liverpool Crown Court in northwest England sentenced McArdle to 12 months in jail.

Judge Norman Wright said that McArdle had frightened staff at the venue with his hoax —which came days after the Boston marathon bombings — and let down his fi ancee.

“She was getting ready, expecting you were going to be man and wife and a very solemn public event in her life and you knew that was not going to take place,” the judge said.

Israel forces killPalestinian bomber

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s security service and the military say Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank believed responsible for a Tel Aviv bus bombing last year.

The Shin Bet says security forces sought to detain the suspect near the Palestinian village of Bilin on Tuesday.

It says the suspect took cover in a cave, from where he later fi red at Israeli forces, prompting the troops to kill him. The security service says two of his accomplices were arrested.

The Shin Bet identifi ed the suspect as Mohamed Aatzi, an Islamic Jihad militant behind last year’s bus bombing of Tel Aviv during Israel’s military offensive on the Gaza Strip. The explosion wounded Israeli passengers.

BEIJING (AP) — Forget all the headlines about eye-watering pollution in Beijing and Shanghai — the Middle Kingdom’s latest tourism slogan invites visitors to “Beautiful China.”

Adorning buses and trains in cities such as London, the international marketing effort has been derided as particularly inept at a time when record-busting smog has drawn attention to the environ-mental and health costs of China’s unfettered industri-alization.

Like this year’s typically clunky theme for visitors “China Ocean Tourism Year,” the slogan highlights the tin ear of an industry that has ridden the coattails of China’s rapid economic growth and increased global prominence but failed to keep up with international travel trends.

“Beauty can be looked at in many different ways, but when you have all the stories about the pollution, and the air pollution in particular, people are not going to buy the fact that China is 100 percent beautiful,” said Alastair Morrison, a Beijing-based expert in tourism destination marketing and development.

China’s tourism industry has grown at a fast pace since the country began free market-style economic reforms three decades ago. In 2011, travel and tourism generated $644 billion, or more than 9 percent of China’s GDP, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, mostly propelled by its huge domestic market of 1.1 billion people.

China is also the world’s third most visited country after France and the U.S. Despite that status, the numbers are less signifi cant economically than domestic tourism. On top of that, the growth in foreign tourists has lagged world averages.

According to the World Tourism Organization, whose data is based on national sources, the average growth rate in overnight visitors worldwide was 2.8 percent from 2008 to 2012. The average growth rate in China was 2.1 percent.

And in the fi rst nine months of this year, a period during which China’s image as a destination has been tainted by worsening air pollution and unprecedented coverage of it, foreign overnight visitors dropped 7 percent to 15 million people.

“For a destination like China, which is a large country that many foreigners have not been to, and with the interest in China, you would expect above average growth rates,” said Morrison. “You have to question what’s going on.”

Some point to unsophis-ticated marketing as an explanation.

Whereas tourism offi ces all over the world use Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Chinese tourism authorities stick with what they know: trade shows and magazine advertising.

They are fond of using wordy theme years to promote China, having used one annually since its “Friendly Sightseeing Year” of 1992. The busy looking website of the national tourism body has been likened to a company newsletter.

‘Beautiful China’ getting harder to see

Tourists look at the Forbidden City from the top of Jinshan hill on a hazy day in Beijing, China. China’s tourism industry has grown at a fast pace since the country began free market-style economic reforms three decades ago. However, its latest tourism slogan

“Beautiful China” has been derided as particularly inept at a time when record-busting smog has drawn attention to the environmental and health costs of China’s unfettered industrializa-tion. Some point to unsophisticated marketing as an explanation.

APChristos Salis, 39, right, and his companion Eleftheria Dimopoulou, 40, also know as Selini Sali, pose with the

little girl only known as “Maria” in the Larisa regional police headquarters, Greece.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A top Greek prosecutor has ordered an emergency nationwide investigation into birth certifi cates issued in the past six years after an unknown girl was discov-ered living with her alleged abductors at a Gypsy camp.

Supreme Court prosecutor Efterpi Koutzamani ordered the inquiry Tuesday for birth certifi cates issued after Jan. 1, 2008, amid media reports of benefi t fraud by families who declared the same birth in multiple cities or who had produced false birth certifi -cates for children that may or may not exist.

Critics say Greece’s birth registration system is wide open to exploitation. Until just fi ve months ago, there was no central national registry. Even now, births declared in different munici-

palities before May are not cross-checked on a national basis.

The birth registry investi-gation was sparked after a Gypsy, or Roma, couple was jailed on charges of abduction and document fraud in the case of the girl known only as “Maria.” The blonde girl, believed to be 5 or 6, was found during a police raid on a Roma camp. She was taken into protec-tive care last week after DNA tests established the Roma couple was not her biological parents.

Police said “Maria’s” birth was falsely declared in Athens in 2009 but did not elaborate. The charity in charge of the girl’s temporary care says a dental examination indicated she is fi ve or six years old, not four as originally thought. It is not even certain the child

was born in Greece.The two suspects,

aged 39 and 40, deny the abduction allegations, claiming they received “Maria” from a destitute woman to bring up as their own. They are now in pre-trial detention.

The girl’s DNA has been entered into an Interpol database to check for matches.

Authorities allege that the female suspect claimed to have given birth to six children in less than 10 months, while 10 of the 14 children the couple had registered as their own are unaccounted for. Police say the two suspects received about 2,500 euros ($3,420) a month in subsidies from three different cities — a substantial amount in the midst of Greece’s devastated economy.

Greek prosecutor ordersbirth certifi cates checked

WASHINGTON (AP) — Doctors may soon have two new drug options for patients with hepatitis C, just as the liver-destroying virus becomes a major public health concern for millions of baby boomers.

The Food and Drug Administration holds a public meeting this week to review two experimental medications from Johnson & Johnson and Gilead Sciences. The new drugs, if approved, could offer a quicker, more effective approach to eliminating hepatitis C, a blood-borne disease blamed for 15,000 deaths in the U.S. this year.

In a review posted online Tuesday, the FDA reported that J&J’s drug simeprevir has a slightly higher cure rate than currently available treatments, though it also caused rashes and sunburn in some patients.

On Thursday the FDA will ask a panel of outside experts whether the drug should carry warnings about rashes and sunburn on its label. The agency is not required to follow the panel’s advice, though it often does.

The meeting comes at a time when federal health offi cials are urging baby boomers to get tested for the virus, which can go unnoticed for decades before causing symptoms.

Between 3 million and 4 million Americans are infected with hepatitis C, and people born between 1945 and 1965 are fi ve times more likely to have it than people of other age groups, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Many baby boomers contracted the virus by sharing needles or having sex with an infected person in their youth. The disease was also spread by blood transfusions before 1992, when blood banks began testing for the virus.

Most people with hepatitis C do not even know they have the virus until after liver damage has occurred, causing abdominal pain, fatigue, itching and dark urine.

For most of the last 20 years, the standard treatment involved a grueling one-year regimen of pills and injections that caused fl u-like symptoms and cured less than half of patients. Many patients failed to complete the full treatment cycle. Others delayed starting treatment at all in the hopes that more effective treatments would come along.

Two drugs approved in 2011 kicked off a new effort to treat the disease. Research shows that adding the two new drugs — Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ Incivek and Merck & Co.’s Victrelis — to the older drug cocktail can boost cure rates to between 65 and 75 percent.

And the drugs the FDA is reviewing this week have the potential to push cure rates even higher.

J&J’s simeprevir cured 80 percent of patients who had not previously been treated for the disease, according to the FDA’s review. Additionally, the vast majority of patients were able to cut their treatment time in half to 24 weeks, compared with the usual 52 weeks. The New Brunswick, N.J., company is seeking approval to combine the daily pill with the older treatment regimen for patients with the most common form of the virus. J&J developed the drug with Swedish drugmaker Medivir.

On Friday, the same FDA panel will review another hepatitis C drug from Gilead Sciences Inc. that some analysts say will become the fi rst-choice for treating the disease. The pill, known as sofosbuvir, has been shown to cure up to 90 percent of patients after just 12 weeks of therapy, according to one company study. Addition-ally, analysts believe the drug will eventually be used without interferon, the inject-able medication used in the current drug cocktail that causes nausea, diarrhea and other unpleasant side effects.

Gilead is racing against other drugmakers to develop the fi rst all-pill approach to treating hepatitis C.

DETROIT (AP) — Thousands of Detroit street-lights are dark. Many more residents have fl ed. Donors are replacing ambulances that limped around for 200,000 miles. Millions in debt payments have been skipped.

Is there really any doubt the city is broke?

A judge starts exploring that question Wednesday in an unusual trial to determine whether Detroit indeed is eligible to scrub

its books in the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history. Unions and pension funds are claiming the city failed to negotiate in good faith before fi ling for Chapter 9 protection in July.

A city isn’t eligible for a makeover unless a judge fi nds that key steps have been met, especially good-faith talks with creditors earlier this year. It’s a critical decision: If Detroit clears the hurdle,

the case would quickly turn to how to solve at least $18 billion in debt and get city government out of intensive care.

“It’s a crucial point in the case,” said lawyer Chuck Tatelbaum, a bankruptcy expert in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “There will be others, but this is the go or no-go. … If there was ever a poster child for what Congress decided when they enacted Chapter 9, it’s for a city like this.”

DEAR DOCTOR K: Th is isn’t a medical question — I’m just curious. How do we see?

DEAR READER: It all begins with light. Light from the sun, moon, fi re or (in the past century or two) from electric lights bounces off an object and enters our eyes.

Th e eye is like a camera. It has a lens that continu-ously focuses to sharpen the picture. Th en the eye sends the picture to the brain, which processes the picture and does the seeing.

Let’s start with some eye anatomy. Th e eye’s surface is made up of the sclera (the white part of the eye that protects its interior) and the cornea. Th e cornea is a clear, dome-like window at the front of the eye that helps focus light.

Th e middle layer contains the iris. Th e black hole in the center of the iris is the

pupil. By changing the size of the pupil, the iris controls how much light enters the eye (more in dim light, less in bright light). Th e iris has

the color that defi nes you as blue-eyed or brown-eyed.

Just behind the pupil and iris lies the lens. Th e fl exible lens alters its shape, allowing the eye to focus on objects at varying distances. Th e shape the lens takes when you are looking at a

sunset is very diff erent from the shape it takes when you read a book.

Th e lens focuses light rays

on the retina, the light-sen-sitive layer at the rear of the eye. Th e macula is a small part of the retina that gives us sharp central vision.

Within the retina are millions of specialized cells: Rod cells perceive changes in light and dark, while cone cells perceive color.

So how do all of these parts work together to help us see? Consider what happens when you walk through a parking lot and spot your car. What you are actually seeing is the light refl ected off the car.

Th e light thrown off the surfaces of your car hits your cornea, where it is bent inward and passed through to the lens. Th e light rays bend further and get projected onto the retina.

Th e retina absorbs the light and turns it into electrical energy. Th ose electrical signals travel along a nerve — the optic nerve

— through your brain to the very back part of it, called the occipital lobe. When those electrical signals reach the back of the brain, the brain interprets the image — the size, shape, color and distance of your car. Other parts of the brain also are involved in interpreting the images from your eyes.

We understand what parts of the eye and brain are involved in seeing. But we only understand dimly how it really works. How does your brain know where a tennis ball speeding toward you will be one second from now so that you can position your racquet to hit it?

Th e answer to that and similar questions remains a marvelous mystery.

DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoctorK.com.

Seeing requires using both the eye and brain

DEAR ABBY: I am a happily married, heterosexual cross-dressing male. My wife understands and is supportive, and we have a wonderful life together. During the past week I have been caught unexpect-edly by three diff erent neighbors, and we are now in a state of panic. We’re not sure what to do. If you have any suggestions, we are all ears. — CAUGHT IN A PANIC DEAR CAUGHT: Because you would prefer to keep your cross-dressing private and this is October, you could tell your neighbors your female attire is what you’ll be wearing to a costume party. It’s plausible. However, when someone is “caught” engaging in a private activity once — that’s an accident. When it happens three times in one week, I can’t help but wonder whether on some level you would like to be more open about your

lifestyle. If you’re not aware, a resource, Th e Society for the Second Self (Tri-Ess Interna-tional), off ers support for heterosexual crossdressers as well as their spouses, partners and families. It has been in my column before and is the oldest and largest support organization for cross-dressers and those who love them. You can learn more about it at tri-ess.org. DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old cousin died in 2010, and I’m still hurting. I have tried to get over it, but we were really close. When I walk the halls at school, I hear

people say bad things about him. When I bring his name up, no one has anything good to say about him. It seems like they don’t really care that he was my cousin and I loved him. How can I ask these people not to say bad things about him? — HURTING IN INDIANA DEAR HURTING: Because people forget that the young man who died was your relative, feel free to remind them. All you need to say is: “You know, he was my cousin and we were close. I still miss him, and I wish you wouldn’t say things like that about him when I’m around.” Losing a relative at any age is hard, but when the person is young, it can be even harder. Because you are still hurting and it has been three years, consider talking about this with a school counselor or joining a grief support group.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2013 NATION • WORLD kpcnews.com B7

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Amnesty International called on the U.S. to investi-gate reports of civilians killed and wounded by CIA drone strikes in Pakistan in a report released Tuesday that provided new details about the alleged victims of the attacks, including a 68-year-old grandmother hit while farming with her grandchildren.

Mamana Bibi’s grandchildren told the London-based rights group that she was killed by missile fi re on Oct. 24, 2012, as she was collecting vegetables in a family fi eld in the North Waziristan tribal area, a major militant sanctuary near the Afghan border. Three of Bibi’s grandchildren were wounded in the strike, as were several others who were nearby, the victims said.

The U.S. considers its drone program to be a key weapon against insurgent groups that it says stages cross-border forays into neighboring Afghanistan. But the belief, widespread in Pakistan, that the strikes kill large numbers of civilians sparks resentment and complicates the two countries’ ability to coordi-nate efforts against militants based in the country, including al-Qaida.

An even deadlier incident noted by the report — titled “‘Will I be next?’ U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan”— occurred in North Waziristan on July 6, 2012. Witnesses said a volley of missiles hit a tent where a group of men had gathered for an evening meal after work, and then a second struck those who came to help the wounded, one of a number of attacks that have hit rescuers, the rights group said.

Witnesses and relatives said that total of 18 male laborers with no links to militant groups died, according to Amnesty. Pakistani intelligence offi cials at the time identi-fi ed the dead as suspected militants.

The U.S. did not respond to request for comment on the strike. President Barack Obama said during a speech in May that the U.S. does not conduct a drone strike unless there is “near-cer-

tainty that no civilians will be killed or injured.” But Amnesty said the U.S. is so secretive about the program that there is no way to tell what steps it takes to prevent civilian casualties. They say it has “failed to commit to conduct investi-gations” into alleged deaths that have already occurred.

Several different organi-zations have tried to track the number of civilian casualties from nearly ten years of drone strikes in Pakistan, including the Long War Journal website, the New America Founda-tion think tank and the Bureau of Investigative journalism. These groups indicated that the attacks have killed between 2,065 and 3,613 people, the report said. Between 153 and 926 were thought to be civilians.

Amnesty said it is concerned that the attacks outlined in the report and others may have resulted in unlawful killings that consti-tute extrajudicial executions or war crimes, even though the U.S. insists the strikes are legal.

“We cannot fi nd any justifi cation for these killings. There are genuine threats to the USA and its allies in the region, and drone strikes may be lawful in some circumstances,” said Mustafa Qadri, Amnesty International’s

Pakistan researcher. “But it is hard to believe that a group of laborers, or an elderly woman surrounded by her grandchildren, were endangering anyone at all, let alone posing an imminent threat to the United States.”

Amnesty called on the U.S. to comply with its obligations under interna-tional law by investigating the killings documented in the report and providing victims with “full repara-tion.”

The U.S. carried out its fi rst drone strike in Pakistan in 2004 and has carried out nearly 350 more since then, the majority of which have been in North Waziristan. President Barack Obama signifi cantly ramped up attacks when he took offi ce in 2009, and the number peaked the following year with over 100 strikes. The frequency has steadily dropped since then, partly because of growing tension between Pakistan and the U.S. There have only been around two dozen strikes so far this year.

Pakistani offi cials regularly denounce the attacks in public as a violation of the country’s sovereignty, but senior members of the government and the military are known to have supported the strikes in the past.

“Amnesty Interna-

tional is also extremely concerned about the failure of the Pakistani authori-ties to protect and enforce the rights of victims of drone strikes,” said the report. “Pakistan has a duty to independently and impartially investigate all drone strikes in the country and ensure access to justice and reparation for victims of violations.”

Amnesty said victims they interviewed with no apparent connection to militant groups have either received no compensation or inadequate assistance from the Pakistani government.

The top political offi cial in North Waziristan gave Bibi’s family around $100 to cover medical expenses for the children injured in the strike, even though the total cost to the family, including loss of livestock and repairs to their home, was around $9,500, the rights group said. None of the victims in the attack on the laborers received compensation, Amnesty said.

Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Aizaz Chaudhry praised the report’s criticism of the drone program, telling Geo TV that “our point of view is being acknowledged internationally.” He didn’t comment on Amnesty’s criticism of the Pakistani government.

Civilians victims of drone strikes

Pakistani Christian leader J. Salik chants slogans as he marches demanding the end to U.S. drone attacks at hideouts of militants in Pakistani tribal areas, in

Islamabad, Pakistan. Amnesty Interna-tional calls on the U.S. to investigate reported civilian casualties from CIA drone strikes in Pakistan.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — When Charlie Worboys lost his job, he feared searching for a new one at his age might be tough. Six years later, at 65, he’s still looking.

Luanne Lynch, 57, was laid off three times in the past decade and previous layoffs brought jobs with a lower salary; this time she can’t even get that.

They’re not alone. A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll fi nds many people over 50 reporting great diffi culty fi nding work and feeling that their age is a factor.

After Worboys was laid off and his hunt for another teaching job was fruitless, he sought counseling positions. When those leads dried up, he applied for jobs in juvenile detention centers, in sales and elsewhere. He fi nally settled for part-time work, all the while still scouring online listings and sending out applications each week.

“They’re looking for the younger person,” he said. “They look at the number 65 and they don’t bother to look behind it.”

The AP-NORC Center poll found 55 percent of those 50 and older who have sought a job in the past fi ve years characterized their search as diffi cult, and 43 percent thought employers were concerned about their age. Further, most in the poll reported fi nding few available jobs (69 percent), few that paid well (63 percent) or that offered adequate benefi ts (53 percent). About a third were told they were overqualifi ed.

Still, some companies are welcoming older workers, and 43 percent of job seekers surveyed found a high demand for their skills and 31 percent said there was a high demand for their experience. Once on the job, older workers were far more likely to report benefi ts related to their age — 60 percent said colleagues had come to them for advice more often and 42 percent said they felt as if they were receiving more respect in

the company.People of all ages have

been frustrated by the job market and the unemploy-ment rate for those 55 and older was 5.3 percent in September, lower than the 7.2 percent rate among all ages. By comparison, unemployment among those 20-24 was 12.9 percent, and among those 25-54, 6.2 percent.

But long-term unemploy-ment has been rampant among the oldest job seekers. Unemployed people aged 45 to 54 were out of work 45 weeks on average, those 55 to 64 were jobless for 57 weeks and those 65 and older average 51 weeks.

Younger workers were unemployed for shorter periods of time.

Sixty-three percent of those who searched for a job cited fi nancial need and 19 percent said it was because they were laid off. Far smaller numbers searched because they wanted to change careers, fi nd a better salary or benefi ts, escape unhappiness at a prior job or simply get out of the house.

Lynch, of San Gabriel, Calif., hated taking a step down after the earlier layoffs, but this time only one interview has come from 70-some applications.

“It’s starting at the bottom,” she said. “And frankly, I’m getting too old to be starting at the bottom.”

Bob Gershberg, a corporate recruiter in St. Petersburg, Fla., said unemployed people, regard-less of age, have had trouble getting rehired. But he said older workers have faced an added layer of skepticism from employers.

“They’ll say, ‘Give me the young guy. Give me the up-and-comer. Someone with fi re in the belly,” he said. “But there’s always been a bias against the unemployed. They say, ‘If she was so good, why’d she get cut?’”

Sharon Hulce, who runs a recruitment fi rm in Appleton, Wis., said she’s found some employers are concerned that applicants in their late 50s or 60s may not stick around for the long haul.
