INDIANAPOLIS — Improve-ment in the state unemployment rate was magnifi ed in the area in August, as all four northeast Indiana counties saw their unemployment rates improve by a percentage point or more.

“The signifi cant decrease in Indiana’s unemployment rate in August is defi nitely encouraging, but the fact is too many Hoosiers are still unemployed,” said Scott B. Sanders, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “This underscores

the need to bring unemployed individuals into WorkOne following their fourth week of receiving benefi ts. It is vital we get folks on the path to reemployment as soon as possible.”

Reports released Friday by the DWD said DeKalb, LaGrange and Steuben counties each saw their unemployment rates fall by 1 percentage point from the revised July fi gures.

DeKalb County’s rate improved to 7.4 percent in August, while LaGrange County’s unemploy-

ment rate dropped to 7.2 percent and Steuben County’s dropped to 7.5 percent.

Noble County saw its unemployment rate drop by 1.1 percentage points to 7.3 percent in August.

DeKalb, Noble and Steuben countie each saw a slight drop in their labor force for the month, and Steuben County saw its number of employed workers drop by 29.

However, LaGrange County,

despite seeing its labor force rise, saw its number of unemployed workers drop below 1,000 in August.

Allen County saw an even larger drop in its unemployment rate, falling from 8.7 percent in July to 7.1 percent in August.

“Retooling has wrapped at several major manufacturers, likely contributing to the positive dynamics month-over-month as workers have returned to those production lines. The year-over-year improvement in the region’s

Jobless rate much better at 7.4%

ALBION — What a difference a year makes.

Last fall, Rachael Bender said, her family-owned orchard, Bender’s Orchard, “barely produced enough apples to make a good pie.”

This year, however, apples at the southern Noble County orchard are in abundance.

“Yes, yes, and we’re very happy about that!” Bender exclaimed. “We have a really good crop of apples this year, and it looks great!”

Apple growers across northern Indiana are reporting bumper crops of apples this year, only one year after suffering through last season and what might have been the worst apple crop harvest on record.

“It’s as good this year as it was bad last year,” said LaGrange County apple grower Martin Franke. “We’ve got a lot of apples.”

Franke’s apple operation produced less than one-quarter its normal yield last year. His farm, like others in the area, was slammed by 2012’s strange twist of weather.

First, spring came early to northern Indiana last year, with the area basking in record warm temperatures by mid-March. That springlike weather caused apple trees to produce blossoms early —blossoms that later were damaged or killed when normal cold and frosty weather returned to Indiana in April. What few Indiana apples managed to survive the frost then had to endure a two-month-long drought.

“I had about 35 percent of my normal crop last year,” said Rick Meyer of Kendallville’s Orchard Hills Farms. Meyer operates one of the largest orchards in the

area, with trees covering more than 70 acres. His farm is a major wholesaler of apples, and like Bender and Franke, Meyer agreed that this is a great year for Indiana apple growers.

“We have a big crop,” Meyer said of the fruit on his farm.

Orchard Hills Farm’s trees are loaded with fruit this year. His farm grows dozens of different

varieties of apples, including honeycrisp, a very popular sweet and tart apple that Meyer said will be a huge crop this season.

“We have a big crop of just about everything,” Meyer said.

But this year’s apple crop isn’t just big, it’s a good crop, too.

“I’d say all in all, quality- and quantity-wise, this is best we’ve

WASHINGTON (AP) — The GOP-controlled House voted Friday to cripple President Barack Obama’s health care law as part of a risky ploy that threatens a partial shutdown of the government in a week and a half.

The fi ght is coming on a stopgap funding measure required to keep the government fully running after the Oct. 1 start of the new budget year. Typically, such measures advance with sweeping bipartisan support, but tea party activists forced GOP leaders — against their better judgment — to add a provision to cripple the health care law that is the signature accomplishment of Obama’s fi rst term.

Republicans welcomed the vote, saying the new health care law is a disaster that is forcing cutbacks in workers’ hours, raising health insurance premiums and being implemented unfairly. House Republicans have voted more than 40 times to disable all or part of the health care law.

“With just 11 days until millions are forced onto ObamaCare’s exchanges, House Republicans voted to save the American people from this train wreck,” said U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind.

“Over the past months, I’ve heard the stories of families struggling to pay soaring premiums, businesses dropping coverage and workers cashing smaller paychecks,” Stutzman added. “Today, we responded by passing practical legislation that defunds ObamaCare. By funding the government, we’ve taken a government shutdown off the table and stopped ObamaCare’s severe impact — it’s time for the Senate to side with the American people, as well.”

The partisan 230-189 vote sets the stage for a confrontation with the Democratic-led Senate, which promises to strip the health care provision from the bill next week and challenge the House to pass it as a simple, straightforward funding bill that President Barack Obama will sign.

“Republicans are simply postponing for a few days the inevitable choice they must face: Pass a clean bill to fund the

DeKalb Health, cardiology group form partnership

AUBURN — DeKalb Health and Parkview Physicians Group (PPG)-Cardiology announced a new partnership Friday to provide “unique and specialized services aimed at improving the heart health of DeKalb County.”

“DeKalb Health is proud to announce this relation-ship embracing Parkview Cardiology,” said Fred Price, chief executive offi cer of DeKalb Health. “This is not a new relationship, but one moving toward providing more robust outpatient cardiovascular testing.”

“This alignment gives both organizations the ability to provide great cardiology services to a great community, said Mark O’Shaughnessy, cardiologist, PPG-Cardiology.

PPG-Cardiology already provides many outpatient treatment services inside DeKalb Health, and the new partnership will open the door to new opportunities for additional services that will be announced later.

AUBURN — The source of Auburn’s drinking water is groundwater produced from wells located in the community.

To help protect the underground aquifer and the water supply wells from contamination, the City of Auburn continues to implement the Wellhead Protection Plan, which was originally approved by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management in April 2003.

The city’s Wellhead Protection Local Planning Team meets annually

to update the plan and implement management strategies to protect Auburn’s drinking water source. A complete copy of the Wellhead Protec-tion Plan and educational pamphlets are available to the public at the Auburn Water Department, 800 North St.

The Local Planning Team held its annual meeting Aug. 28 to discuss the Wellhead Protec-tion Program. Auburn’s Wellhead Protection Program focuses on public awareness and education and spill prevention and reporting.

In the upcoming year, the Local Planning Team will continue public education efforts and will focus on identifying septic systems and active, inactive and abandoned wells.

Leachate from an improperly maintained septic system has the potential to directly affect groundwater used for the public water supply.

Water wells that become damaged, or are no longer used, are a potential conduit for surface contamination to reach the groundwater and contaminate the underground drinking water source.

Anyone who has a well on a local property is requested to contact Clint Sites of the Auburn Water Department at 925-5711 so that it can be added to a tracking database.

The city offered these tips to help protect the city’s drinking water source:

• Recycle used oil, automotive fl uids, batteries, and other products. Don’t dispose of hazardous

products in toilets, storm drains, wastewater systems, creeks, alleys or the ground. This pollutes the water supply. Contact the Northeast Indiana Solid Waste Management District at 587-3063 for recycling events in the area.

• Reduce the amount of fertilizers, pesticides, or other hazardous chemicals used. Buy only what is needed so it is not necessary to dispose of leftovers. Read labels and follow all directions on household chemicals and other hazardous products used around the home.

• Check cars, boats, motorcycles and other machinery and equipment for leaks and spills. Place drip pans under leaking vehicles/equipment and make repairs as soon as possible. Clean up spilled fl uids with an absorbent material such as kitty litter or sand and properly dispose of the material. Do not rinse spills with water or into a nearby storm drain and do not allow spills to soak into the ground.

• Properly abandon water wells that are no longer in use. Information is available from the Water Department.

• Properly maintain septic systems. Information is available from the Water Department.

“The City of Auburn feels that drinking water protection is the responsi-bility of all citizens,” the Water Department said in a news release. “By assisting the city with its wellhead protection efforts, residents and business can help ensure the people of Auburn have a safe water supply now and in the future.”

ROME CITY — A woman who was abducted late Wednesday was found early Friday morning and is safe, police said.

Jennifer Lee Bitzel of Peru was located in Rome City by that town’s police department, a news release from the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Depart-ment said.

“It’s great that it ended this way,” Rome City Town Marshal Steve Heltzel said.

“We’re pleased she’s been located and that at least she wasn’t terribly hurt,” said John Parrish, investigator for the LaGrange County Prosecutor’s Offi ce.

Parrish said Bitzel has bruising to her head, face and throat.

Bitzel’s Facebook page says she was a member of the East Noble High School class of 2003 and previously lived in Rome City.

Police still are searching for Steven Gail Gose, 40, who is believed to be involved in the abduction.

Lagrange County Superior Court Judge Brown has issued an additional warrant for Gose on charges of criminal confi nement, a Class C Felony, and two Class D felony offenses, domestic battery and strangula-tion.

Gose also currently has an active warrant for his arrest on a parole violation.

Anyone who spots Gose is urged to contact the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department or call 911. Gose should still be considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached by anyone other than law enforcement, police said.

“We have found him to be unpredictable and dangerous when confronted by law enforcement,”

Parrish said.Police said Gose is 5-foot-10 and

175 pounds.The investigation has revealed that

several people have been involved with transporting, hiding and assisting Gose, police said. The LaGrange County Prosecutor’s offi ce said anyone who assists Gose also is committing a crime, and each lead on those who are assisting him will be looked into and considered for prosecution accord-ingly.

Police said Bitzel had last been seen at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at a residence in the 3000 block of LaGrange C.R. 600E.

It is alleged that at the residence, Bitzel was the victim of an extensive battery. She then was removed forcefully from the residence by a man who allegedly made death threats to Bitzel before forcing her into a silver, 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix, four-door sedan, bearing Indiana registration 543AIB.

Bitzel’s two young children were left behind at the residence.

AUBURN — The DeKalb County Airport Authority on Friday approved a pair of projects.

To cover their costs, it will search for funds in its budget or seek additional appropriations from the DeKalb County Council.

The board approved a contract with local contractor Pfi ster to clear away four acres of trees on the airport’s west end for $25,000.

When the airport installed its instrument landing system years ago, it had to clear trees in the path. The Indiana Depart-ment of Environmental Management and the Army Corps of Engineers allowed only a portion of the trees to be cleared, though, until wetlands in the area were mitigated.

With that mitigation now complete, the full clearing can be competed. In fact, airport manager Russ Couchman said IDEM has threatened to raise the airport’s ceiling minimum if it does not clear the

obstructing trees.The board then approved

a contract with Hewes Concrete Construction to refi nish a fl oor of the hangar leased by Parkview Hospital for its Samaritan medical helicopter. The job will cost $22,720.

The Samaritan crew has told Couchman that when the fl oor of the hangar is wet, it becomes extremely slippery and hazardous. Hughes will grind down the current epoxy fi nish and apply a polish to the fl oor.

Airport Authority president Brad Stump said the payback to the airport for the project would be 12 1/2 months, fi guring the hangar’s $1,800 per month lease.

The board approved both projects under the stipula-tion that they not exceed the contract cost. The board said it will work within its budget to cover as much of the costs as possible before approaching the County Council for the remaining balance.

Also Friday, the authority board welcomed new member John Harris, who

fi lls a vacancy left by the resignation of Brad Moore earlier this month.

Harris is retired as a plant manager with Dana Corp. and served as a neighborhood liaison for the airport for several years. A local resident since 1980, Harris said he welcomed the appointment to the board by the county commissioners.

“I was interested in it,” said Harris, a political independent. “I’ve been a neighbor of the airport for many years, and I am and always was interested in the airport goings-on, so it was a good opportunity for me.”

Jesse Myers, who also was named to the board by county commissioners to fi ll a vacancy left by the death of former board president Jim Mason, was not in attendance Friday due to a previous commitment.

The board also was peppered with questions by residents concerned over relocation of electric transmission lines away from airport property.

Several residents approached the board, upset

with a plan by American Electric Power to move power lines between C.R. 29 and 31 that would place them directly on and above their properties.

Last month, the board approved an agreement with AEP to move lines for $2.6 million. The reloca-tion is part of the airport’s planned runway extension project, because the lines interfere with fl ight patterns, though the lines need to be moved whether the runway extension goes through or not, the board has been told.

The relocation would place the lines on the properties of several residents. Those residents questioned why AEP would not either fi nd a new path of bury the lines. The board has been told the power company is reluctant to bury lines following a blackout of the Eastern seaboard several years ago.

Airport counsel Jim McCanna suggested the residents hire an attorney and approach AEP with alternate suggestions for the lines.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A man hiding behind an apartment door shot and killed an Indianapolis police offi cer as he kicked his way in early Friday, authorities said, responding to a woman screaming for help after being held at gunpoint for three hours.

Offi cer Rod Bradway had been talking to the man for

several minutes before the woman’s screams prompted him to kick in the door, Detective Thomas Lehn told The Indianapolis Star. The man then ambushed Bradway, he said.

He said the 41-year-old Bradway, who was pronounced dead at an Indianapolis hospital, had little time to react.

Gonzalez graduates from basic training

FORT MEADE, Md. — Air Force Airman 1st Class Bernardo G. Gonzalez graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lack-land, in San Antonio, Texas.

Gonzalez is the son of Enrique Salazar of Kendall-ville, and a 2008 graduate of Eastside High School.

He earned an associate degree in 2009 from Lincoln Technical Institute, Indianapolis.

The airman completed

an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical

fi tness, and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four

credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

AUBURN — Eight years of foster care for at-risk teen girls made Brandy Wimer empathize with the problems teens are facing.

She said she always has had a passion for teens who are hurting.

Along with other adult volunteers, Wimer is starting H.O.P.E., Heroes of Peers Encouraging. The Auburn woman’s vision is to help hurting teens in her city.

She wants to train youth in peer mentoring and to educate teens about suicide prevention.

While Wimer is still in the process of obtaining a nonprofi t status, the organi-zation has rented a space across from the Auburn Post Offi ce at 202 S. Jackson St. and is welcoming teens to visit.

H.O.P.E. will hold an open house Friday during the DeKalb County Free Fall

Fair from 10 a.m. to noon. Creative Comedy Art will provide face painting, and guests can enjoy free food.

Currently, H.O.P.E. is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 4-6 p.m. The center provides snacks, games and homework help from volunteers.

“I want to provide a place of refuge for them,” Wimer said. “A place where they can feel safe and beautiful.”

Since opening, Wimer has been given donations to supply the center with games and furniture.

Through H.O.P.E., Wimer wants to educate teens to impact their community. She is providing Lifelines, a suicide prevention training course, as one of the main educational tools.

She held her fi rst training session of Lifelines with two teens Sept. 7.

“Every suicide thought needs to be taken seriously,” Wimer said. “(The thoughts) should not be taken as a joke.”

When she was a teen, Wimer said at times she felt like she didn’t have anyone. “Every teen goes

through the stage of feeling worthless,” she said.

With the foster children in her care, Wimer learned to just sit and listen.

“You will be amazed with the difference you can make,” Wimer said.

As the organization grows, Wimer hopes to get involved with local schools to offer Safe Dates, a 10-day anti-dating violence curric-ulum for middle and high school students.

Wimer serves on the DeKalb County Domestic Violence Task Force.

While the space on South Jackson Street is small, Wimer hopes to eventually fi nd a place so teens can meet on Friday evenings.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — With snow already dusting Colorado’s highest peaks, the state is racing to replace key mountain highways washed away by fl ooding, in some cases laying down crude, one-lane gravel roads just to throw a lifeline to isolated towns before winter descends.

More than 200 miles of state highways and at least 50 bridges were damaged or destroyed across this rugged region, plus many more county roads. Fully rebuilding all of them is sure to take years. But for now, the work has to be fast, even if that means cutting corners.

“Our priority is to reconnect these communi-ties as quickly as we can, recognizing that we’re in a very tight timeframe,” said Amy Ford, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.

In many other parts of the country, road crews would be able to work through the fall and much of the winter. But in the Rockies, the cold weather comes earlier, stays longer and brings with it countless dangers. The fi rst storms could hit as soon as next month.

That urgency was underlined this week when Trail Ridge Road, the high-elevation path through Rocky Mountain National Park and one of the few supply routes into the town of Estes Park, was temporarily closed because of snow. It normally stays open until October.

Colorado is looking East for advice, specifi cally to Vermont, where Tropical Storm Irene dumped up to 11 inches of rain in August 2011, sweeping away homes, roads, bridges and farm fields and killing

six people.After the mountains

fl ooded, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper quickly fl ew in experts from Vermont, which also faced a winter deadline two years ago.

“The big picture is that you’re going to get through this, and you’re going to recover stronger, but it is a long haul,” said Sue Minter, deputy secretary of the Vermont Agency of Transportation, who has been assessing Colorado damage. “Two years later, we’re still recovering from Irene.”

Scott Rogers, Vermont’s director of transporta-tion, said the immediate challenge is putting road material in place that can be maintained through winter.

“We had to put pavement down before it snowed so that roads could be plowed,” Rogers said. “And in many cases, it was just a temporary pavement. We knew we would have to come back and do it better.”

Expediting repairs before winter is crucial, especially in the Front Range’s mountainous corridors, which receive heavy snowfall. Rerouting some washed-out roads may be all but impossible because many of them follow streamside trails used by settlers chasing gold and silver in the mid-1800s. The steep Rocky Mountain foothills offer no other access.

Canyon hamlets such as Jamestown, Lyons and Pinewood Springs lost roads when as much as 20 inches of rain fell last week, transforming ravines into lethal funnels of rushing water powerful enough to fl ing boulders and large trees and generate 20-foot waves.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and Iran’s new president may meet briefl y next week for the fi rst time, marking a symbolic but signifi cant step toward easing their countries’ tense relationship. An exchange of letters between the leaders already has raised expecta-tions for a revival of stalled nuclear talks, though Iran is still likely to seek an easing of international sanctions in exchange for signifi cant progress.

In small steps and encour-aging statements, Iran’s leaders appear to be opening a door more widely to detente in their nuclear dispute with

the U.S. Cautiously optimistic yet still skeptical, Washington is weighing whether Iranian President Hasan Rouhani’s recent overtures actually represent new policies or just new packaging.

“Negotiations with the Iranians is always diffi cult,” President Barack Obama said in a recent interview with ABC News. “I think this new president is not going to suddenly make it easy. But, you know, my view is that if you have both a credible threat of force, combined with a rigorous diplomatic effort, that, in fact, you can strike a deal.”

U.S. and Iran eye diplomatic defrosting at United Nations

On a recent Friday afternoon, I came back from lunch and sat down at my desk in The Herald Republican newsroom. I have the best view in the place out my window of the courtyard. My window is framed with ivy that covers our building and I peer out it like looking through a telescope.

In looking out my window, there was what I thought was a giant twig. But then it moved.

I jumped and realized I was nose-to-nose with a praying mantis. It was sunbathing.

Like any reporter would do, I started taking pictures. A close up of its face showed little dots for eyeballs and legs with tiny hairs.

My colleague, Carol Ernsberger, told me praying mantises are good luck. I will accept that, Carol.

The mantis balanced on the dainty ivy vines like a gymnast on a beam and slowly crawled away. Likely it went down to peer in the windows of Amy Oberlin and Mike Marturello.

Seeing that bug made me wonder what other little details are missed while speeding through the day and attempting to do more and more.

I get daily self improvement ideas emailed to me. Today’s said to stop and use the senses more to experience that which is often ignored. I made that my mission.

As an example of not paying attention, I

was getting my mail and did not notice the box had been painted. I set a magazine down on it and it stuck. I laughed. It was

a good thing it was a catalogue I didn’t like, but someone forgot to hang a wet paint sign.

Elsewhere, two black and white dogs were hanging their heads out a truck window as it cruised down the road. The mutts had looks of pure ecstasy on their faces and it looked like they were thinking, “Whee.”

There are sounds that simply can’t be forgotten.

Recently in church, a Trine University student sang “Amazing Grace” in seven different languages including Cherokee and Swahili.

Simply breathtaking.By the Angola City Hall, there is a

large tree as you go in the door. As in the Alfred Hitchcock classic, “The Birds,” there was much loud chirping. Birds were all over the tree’s limbs as if a convention were being held.

Taste and smell-wise, I am catching the domestic bug in looking for easy crock pot recipes. Maybe what’s best about it is the simmering smells. Recently I made lasagna in mine. Tomato sauce and goodies simmering away reminded me of home again. It turned into lasagna soup the first night. The second and third nights it’s gotten better. It’s also gotten tastier.

Odor-wise, one of the best parts of summer is sweet corn. The more yellow, the sweeter in taste and smell. Get it while you can; cold weather takes all summer’s pleasures away.

Touch is down pat. One of the best things I do all day is pet my cat, Poppy. She smiles as I rub the sides of her face.

A moment of calm, like that, is what it’s all about.

Calm appealings to the senses

What’s up with so many Democrats wanting missile strikes on Syria, while Republi-cans balk? I’m told Republicans are the war party.

Is this just hypocrisy? Politicians change their position on military intervention when their own party controls the White House?

Historian Thaddeus Russell says it’s not. He says it’s always been “progressive” Democrats

who led America into war: Woodrow Wilson in World War I, FDR in World War II, Truman in the Korean War, Kennedy and Johnson in Vietnam and Bill Clinton in Somalia and Kosovo.

Russell says the progres-sives like “nation-building” because it fi ts their view that government can reform the world “not just in the ghettos, but outside our borders. Anywhere we fi nd the oppressed, we must go out and save them.”

Of course there are the neoconservatives, such as William Kristol, who were pro-war under both Bush and Obama.

“The so-called neocons who drove us to war in Iraq actually all began in the Democratic Party. They all began as progressives,” says Russell. “They supported intervention in Iraq to remake Iraq in our image, and they support intervention in Syria to do the same.”

Both neocons and progressives call those of us who oppose most intervention overseas “isolationist.”

A Wall Street Journal column complained about “the isolationist worm eating its way through the Republican Party apple.” On the left, Secretary of State John Kerry declared, “This is not the time for armchair isolationism.”

I resent the smear.“Isolationist” suggests that anyone who

objects to killing people in foreign countries (mostly people who have never attacked us) wants to “isolate” America, withdraw from the world.

Before World War II, American?isolation-ists did fi ght to prevent refugees who were escaping Hitler from coming to America. Isolationists also opposed trade and immigra-tion. That’s nuts. We libertarians who are skeptical about war today are nothing like that.

I want to be engaged with the world without us being in charge of it. Let us trade with people of every nation. It’s said that when goods cross borders, armies don’t. History backs that up. A report funded by several governments found that the level of armed confl ict in Muslim countries is lower today than two decades ago, and trade is the reason. You’re less likely to bomb the people with whom you engage in commerce.

Preferring trade to government action may not sound “progressive” to progressives, but it’s not a surrender to evil or a withdrawal from global affairs. As we trade goods, we also export our ideas and our culture.

I don’t claim that this will end all confl ict, but it is harder for radicals to make you hate people who sell you things, inspire you to change your hairstyle or make movies that make you laugh.

When the Soviet Union fell, conservatives said it happened because of Ronald Reagan’s military buildup. OK, that played a part. But so did American music.

In 1988, Bruce Springsteen held a concert in East Berlin, and even there, behind the Iron Curtain, 160,000 people came to hear him perform. And they knew the words to “Born in the USA” and sang along. Springsteen stopped his performance and told the crowd he hoped one day all the barriers would be torn down. One year later, the Berlin Wall did come down.

I don’t claim that America’s culture, consumer goods or Bruce Springsteen was entirely responsible for that, but the obvious comparison between Soviet repression and America’s vibrancy did play a part. Eventually, people in the Soviet bloc wanted what we had.

These cultural and economic infl uences work, and they are less likely to create new enemies and bankrupt America than bombing and invading.

So let tourism fl ow. Let our music alarm mullahs. Let neocons donate books to the Middle East fi lled with ideas dictators hate. Let our cell phones expose isolated people to the wonders of the free world.

There are times when we have to go to war, but real progress means making those times as rare as possible.

Letters To The Editor•

Donated land is valuable assetTo the editor:Hurrah for Mike Walter! When I fi rst

read about two lots of school property gifted to the Community Foundation, I was appalled. After consideration, I decided there must be something I did

not understand about this transaction. Surely, surely, our school board who has been entrusted to act on the behalf of their electing public would not donate an asset as valuable as two cleared city lots in the middle of town.

Sixty percent of my property tax bill goes to support the public school.

I have been reading about a major rebuild at McKenney-Harrison. Is our school corporation so wealthy that there is no need to be compensated for their proper-ties? If so, perhaps it can be refl ected in next year’s property taxes.

Suzanne CarpenterAuburn

Ever since the Waltzing Poet has danced my way, I have been reading his book, “Twenty Days on Route 20.” I gave a copy of the book to Kathy, and she read it on a road trip last weekend with her sisters. What a great idea, I thought.

It is my turn to make a short road trip this week on Route 20. I am on the clock working for Indiana Landmarks and Storytelling Arts of Indiana as I begin my interviews for my newest research project, the Brookside Mansion in Fort Wayne.

My destination on this day is the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration in Mishawaka. My traveling companions include my black binder, my interview notes, my camera, my GPS and Michael’s book. We take to the road in the morning.

The sky is brilliant blue with a nice breeze; in fact, enough of a breeze that all my papers need to be placed on the fl oor of the backseat. I am on Route 20. I have, of course, traveled this way so often before, but today I am seeing it for what it is or what it was.

Did you know that it is the longest road in the United States? It begins in Boston and ends in Newport, Ore., just a mile from the Pacifi c Ocean.

The road was often given the title as “Mud Pike” as it came through Indiana from Ohio. The name was earned genuinely, I believe, due to the mud holes that would pull down wagons and their horses as they traveled through.

I watch the scenery of cornfi elds. The corn, which was August green just a few weeks ago, has now turned to crispy brown waiting the harvest season just around the

full moon.My drive to Mount Alverno takes me

off the road into a mass of woods and fi elds with small gardens of sunfl owers to brighten the pathway.

Sister Jo Ellyn Scheetz is waiting for me in the sunroom and we begin our interview. Sister Jo Ellyn is a brilliant woman, having taught for more than 35 years and holding the presidency of St. Francis College, now St. Francis University, for 23 years.

We talk about the history of the Sisters in Germany, their travel to the United States and their journey to begin St. Francis College in Fort Wayne. For two hours I listen, I write and I ask questions. In the peripheral vision of my eye, I watch the slanting of the sun move quietly over fi elds and woods. She is tired, and it is

time for me to go. I promise to go back. I think I always promise.

Route 20 waits for me to travel home. This time there are yellow school busses weaving in and out of schools and small towns as children hurry home and run outside to play in these waning days of summer.

I arrive into my hometown to be welcomed by streets blocked off as old cars adorn the circle and the small streets for the “Cruise In” on this night.

We gather, friends and family, on the streets of my town abandoning our cars and bikes to walk and enjoy. Each antique car is shined to perfection and the owner willing to talk or sell, if the price is right. Everyone is joyous. The mood is infectious as we greet friends, take photos and let the kids run about exclaiming over each car.

We order pizza and sit outside. We are sitting on the side of Route 20. I pull away into my own thoughts for a while trying to think it through … the wagons, the horses, the folks going west or stopping because this would be a good place for a town. I listen to folks telling stories about cars or families.

The pizza arrives just as the lights come on around the circle and the monument. In the east the full Harvest Moon makes her appearance. She seems to be a bit early, but the harvest moon is the one closest to the equinox, so there she is giving us the sign of harvest.

Folks begin packing up babies and bags and cars and still we sit in the early darkness, not wanting the evening to end.

Larry and Sherry give Jonah and Matthew a ride home in their restored Jeep, and I take photos as they travel off in time.

I am last to leave. Yes, I think, a good place to stop and call home.

Presence LaVerna Terrace Assisted Living apartments in Avilla Friday. Assisting him is Presence Sacred Heart Home administrator Craig Procupek, standing in the background.

BY BOB BRALEYbbraley@kpcmedia.com

AVILLA — The bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend visited Friday to bless a new assisted living facility in Avilla, located in a longtime senior citizen apartment complex.

The Most Rev. Kevin C. Rhoades, bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, blessed the new Presence LaVerna Terrace Assisted Living apartments, including all in attendance and all thresholds in the building, during a half-hour ceremony with scripture readings, prayers and singing.

At the same ceremony, Elaine Shank was introduced as the new administrator of Presence LaVerna Terrace.

The event celebrated a double transition for the building, explained Craig Procupek, administrator of Presence Sacred Heart Home, which has been operating LaVerna Terrace. Both are part of Presence Health, a Catholic health provider.

LaVerna Terrace started as senior citizen apartments, Procupek said. It’s now licensed as an assisted

living provider, with an emphasis on affordable care.

Also, the building itself has had a new expansion, with a common area at the front in which most of Friday’s celebration took place, Procupek said.

Presence Health recently underwent a name change. It had been known as Provena Health. Both Sacred Heart Home and LaVerna Terrace used the Provena name until recently.

“This is a beautiful, beautiful mission,” Rhoades said Friday. The importance of caring for people who need that care is a loving act in Christ’s name, he said.

On recent remarks from Pope Francis, Rhoades said one he found most powerful was not one of those on which the media has focused.

When asked to describe himself, including his life before becoming pope, Rhoades quoted Francis as saying, “The fi rst thing you need to know is, I’m a sinner.”

“That’s so true of all of us. We’re all sinners,” Rhoades said. Christ is the one who saves us from our sin, he added. “I pray for this home that this is a place you will grow closer to Christ.”

unemployment rate is strong and notable (7.0 percent vs. 8.3 percent), pointing to longer-term progress in strengthening the northeast Indiana labor market,” said Ellen Cutter, director of the Community Research Institute at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. “This is the lowest point the region’s (non-season-ally adjusted) unemploy-ment rate has dropped to since October of 2008.”

The statewide season-ally adjusted unemploy-ment rate dropped by 0.3 percentage points in August to 8.1 percent, the largest

one-month decrease since January 2011, the DWD said.

Indiana also added 3,000 manufacturing jobs last month, halting a recent decline. The state continues to have a higher percentage of manufacturing jobs as a portion of the private sector than any other state, the DWD said.

“Since the low point of employment in July 2009, Indiana has added over 60,000 manufacturing jobs, which is second in the nation, at a 14.1 percent rate of growth, also second in the nation,” said Frank Joseph, DWD communications direstor.

However, Indiana’s private sector shed 2,900 jobs in August, as losses in the trade, transportation and utilities and construc-tion sectors offset gains, the DWD said.

“Indiana’s private sector job growth ranks fi fth in the nation in percentage of growth since the low point of employment in July 2009 (8.4 percent), and 10th in the nation in total private sector growth since July 2009 (195,900),” Joseph said.

seen in years,” said Garry Stroh, owner of G.W. Stroh Orchard, just outside Angola.

Stroh said his orchard probably did better last year than most other area orchards, but this year, he said, it appears all the fruit crops are exceptional. Stroh’s farm produces apples, peaches and plums.

Stroh has about 15 acres of trees in full production on his farm. Like other growers, he said his trees sprouted so many apples, and were so heavy with fruit, that earlier this summer, Stroh had to knock some of the fruit off the branches in order to protect his trees.

Stroh said he started picking some of his early varieties of apples in July, but his fruit trees are so full of apples, he estimates he’ll still be picking fresh apples all the way through October.

Besides fresh apples, most orchard owners also produce and sell apple cider, and that promises to be a

bumper crop as well this season.

Franke’s fruit farm already is pressing cider, and he estimates that he probably will still be pressing cider in December. Last year, Franke was able to make only four batches of cider, and that quickly sold out. He was left with no cider to ferment into apple vinegar, another orchard crop.

All of this is good

news for apple consumers, who Bender said were disappointed last year.

“People missed apples last year. It was just an unfortunate thing,” said Bender, whose orchard produces more than 30 different varieties of apples. “This year, it’s been a great year, and it’s a beautiful crop. What a difference from one year to the next.”

government, or force a shutdown,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The White House promises Obama will veto the measure in the unlikely event it reaches his desk.

At a post-vote rally by House Republicans, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, called the measure’s approval “a victory today for the American people” and turned the spotlight on the Democratic Senate.

“Our message to the United State Senate is real simple: The American people don’t want the government shut down, and they don’t want Obamacare,” he said to cheers from his GOP colleagues. “The House has

listened to the American people. Now it’s time for the United States Senate to listen to them as well.”

The temporary funding bill is needed because Washington’s longstanding budget stalemate has derailed the annual appropri-ations bills required to fund federal agency operations.

The fi ght over the must-do funding bill comes as Washington is bracing for an even bigger battle over increasing the government’s borrowing cap to make sure the government can pay its bills. Democrats say they won’t be held hostage and allow Republicans to use the must-pass measures as leverage to win legislative victories that they otherwise couldn’t.

Obama said at a unionized Ford Motor Company plant in Liberty, Mo., Friday: “If you don’t raise the debt ceiling, America can’t pay its bills.”

“If Congress doesn’t pass this debt ceiling in the next few weeks, the United States will default on its obliga-tions. That’s never happened in American history. Basically, America becomes a deadbeat,” Obama said.

The No. 2 House Democrat, Steny Hoyer of Maryland said the GOP ploy is a “blatant act of hostage-taking” fueled by Republicans’ “destructive obsession with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and its unrestrained hostility towards govern-ment.”

BUDGET: Borrowing cap could be a bigger battleFROM PAGE A1

WASHINGTON (AP) — Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and Republicans that it would dim coal’s future.

The proposal, which would set the fi rst national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants, is intended to help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving from a coal-dependent past into a future fi red by cleaner sources of energy. It’s also a key step in President Barack Obama’s global warming plans, because it would put in motion plans to end what he called “the limitless dumping of carbon pollution” from all power plants.

Under the law once the Environmental Protection Agency controls carbon at new plants, it will also control carbon at existing plants — a regulation the agency said Friday it would

start work on immedi-ately to meet a June 2014 deadline.

Yet the federal govern-ment’s own analysis of the new power plant proposal concludes that it would have a “negligible” impact on carbon dioxide emissions, pose little to no costs for the industry and provide no additional benefi ts to the public by 2022. That’s because it essentially locks in what was widely expected to happen anyway. Even without new federal regula-tions, the agency concluded that no new coal plants would have been built. Instead, the bulk of new power in this country would be supplied by natural gas, which already meets the standard announced Friday.

“The EPA … does not anticipate this rule will have any impacts on the price of electricity, employ-ment or labor markets or the U.S. economy,” the EPA wrote in its analysis.

The industry, and its allies in Congress, quickly dismissed that conclusion.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.

Va., said the agency was holding the coal industry to “impossible standards.”

“If these regulations go into effect,” he said, “American jobs will be lost, electricity prices will soar and economic uncertainty will grow.”

EPA administrator Gina McCarthy said in a speech Friday that rather than damage an industry, the proposed regulations would help the industry to adapt, by encouraging energy companies to develop ways to reduce carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, from burning coal.

“This proposal, rather than killing future coal, actually sets up a certain pathway forward for coal to continue to be part of the diverse mix in this country,” McCarthy said. “We know that coal is going to be part of the energy generation that we rely on substantially over the next few decades. Why wouldn’t we now acknowl-edge and invest in the kind of technologies that will allow coal a future long beyond that?”

Obama moves to limit power-plant carbon

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Under a heavy fog, al-Qaida militants disguised in military uniforms launched car bomb attacks on three different security and military posts in southern Yemen on Friday, killing 38 soldiers in the group’s biggest attack in the country since last year.

The coordinated attacks point to how al-Qaida is exploiting the continued weakness of Yemen’s military to rally back here at a time when the group’s branches across the region grow more assertive. More than two years after U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden, factions of the group he led are taking advantage

of turmoil in multiple Arab nations to expand their presence and infl uence.

In Syria, foreign jihadis linked to or inspired by al-Qaida have become such a powerful force in the rebellion that the Syrian opposition on Friday accused them of being opportunists hijacking the uprising against President Bashar Assad. After the coup in Egypt toppled the Islamist president, al-Qaida leaders have called on sympathizers to join militants’ fi ght there against the military. Iraq’s al-Qaida branch has stepped up attacks in that country and extended operations into neighboring Syria.

Last month, the U.S. temporarily closed 19 diplomatic missions across the Middle East and North Africa after intelligence agencies intercepted a message between al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri and Nasser al-Wahishi, also a one-time confi dant of bin Laden who leads the Yemen branch.

“I think there’s been a promiscuous rush to write al-Qaida’s obituary, and it’s always been presump-tuous. It’s certainly had setbacks … but its resilience has always been more formidable than we imagine,” said Bruce Hoffman, director of the Center for Security Studies.

Garrett’s Noah Follett carries the ball during Friday’s ACAC contest with Bluffton. The

Railroaders lost, 28-14.

BY AARON ORGANaorgan@kpcmedia.com

COLUMBIA CITY — DeKalb head coach Mike DeVos said his football team is improving after it gave the young coach small glimpses of its underlying talent Friday night.

Just not enough yet.The Barons found the end

zone twice — double their season production — but were undone by a Columbia City team which rushed for 232 yards and three touchdowns, and scored twice through the air in a 34-12 Eagles win. Columbia City’s defense allowed just 12 rushing yards to DeKalb runners and intercepted Barons sophomore quarterback Harrison Price twice.

“We had some glimpses of what we can become,” said DeVos. “We’re trying to build on getting the little things each week. Some little things we improved on — blocking, giving time for the quarterback, making the correct reads, running the ball hard and making plays. This was the fi rst time we had our players make plays for us, and that’s good to see and we have to build on that.”

It took time for DeKalb to get rolling. Price was sacked on his fi rst play from scrimmage before his unit went three and out and was forced to punt. Columbia City responded with a 4-yard rumble from bruising back Braden Myers for an Eagles touchdown.

After a Barons punt, Myers scored again from 3 yards out on Columbia City’s next drive. Another DeKalb punt led to a 17-yard run up the middle by change-of-pace tailback Carson Reed midway through the second quarter.

DeKalb found its leg from there.

After Price was nearly intercepted on third down, the Barons were forced to punt.

DeKalb downed by Eagles

BY CHRIS SMURRGARRETT — When it rains,

it pours. That’s exactly what happened on a rainy Friday night as the Garrett Railroaders fell to the Bluffton Tigers 28-14 in an Allen County Athletic Confer-ence football game.

The Railroaders (3-2, 1-1 ACAC) were plagued all night by Tigers sophomore running back D’Wayne Eskridge as he gashed the defense for one big gain after another in racking up a whopping 222 yards on the ground on 18 carries. He also hauled in three catches for 10 yards.

“We haven’t handled athletic running backs very well,” Garrett head coach Chris DePew said. “Our two losses have come to some athletic guys.”

To say that DePew was disappointed with his team’s loss would be an understatement.

“I wasn’t real happy with our game plan,” he said. “We had to juggle our offensive line a little bit and I think it affected our game plan negatively. I don’t think we paid enough attention to detail this week.

“We didn’t have a great week of practice. I think coaches and players alike didn’t have a great

week.”The Railroaders found the end

zone twice, both scores coming through the air from senior quarterback Noah Follett. He fi nished with 161 yards and had two interceptions on the night while connecting on 12 of his 18 pass attempts.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Railroaders found themselves down 13-7. After freshman defensive lineman Cordell Camp scooped up a fumble by the Tigers, the Railroaders would capitalize on what would be the most electrifying play of the game. That play would come in the form of a 55-yard fl ea-fl icker pass from Follett to senior wide receiver Cole Wilson, which gave Garrett a 14-13 lead with 9 minutes, 23 seconds to play in regulation.

It would be the last time the Railroaders would score.

Bluffton’s Eskridge continued to make big plays, picking up big chunks of yards as his team would fi nd the end zone two more times; once from junior quarterback Jacob Wenger on a 3-yard run and another from senior running back Michael Pearson from 4 yards out for his second score of the game.

The Railroaders did their best

to try and recuperate to close the gap with time winding down, but more turnovers removed any hopes of doing so.

“We didn’t run the ball very well tonight,” DePew said. “That’s our bread and butter. Our offense was pretty anemic tonight. That all comes from me play calling and it comes from game planning. We can’t win games with four turnovers.”

The rainy weather may not have affected Bluffton (3-2, 1-2) in the end, but it was hard to ignore it the entire night.

“The ball may have gotten a little slippery tonight, but Bluffton was playing in the same stuff that we were and they seemed to handle it (well). It didn’t put either team at a disadvantage,” DePew said.

“For the most part, it was just a matter of how we played. Knowing that it might rain I thought it would give us more of an advantage given our style of play. It didn’t work out that way at all.”

The Railroaders will look to rebound with a win next week at Woodlan. “They’re a big physical team and we’re going to have play a lot better up front on offense and defense,” DePew said.

Railroaders corralled

Eastside’s Kadis Renier outruns several Fairfi eld Falcons for a big gain in the fi rst half of Friday’s football game at Butler. Renier returned a kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown, but Eastside lost, 55-28.

BY JEFF JONESjjones@kpcmedia.com

BUTLER — Fairfi eld dominated the line of scrimmage, rolling up nearly 500 yards of offense, and spoiled Eastside’s homecoming with a 55-28 victory Friday.

Falcon senior Cameron Kitson carried 23 times for 274 yards and fi ve touchdowns on the ground. He also caught two passes, including one for a touchdown.

It was the Blazers (1-4 overall, 0-4 in Northeast Corner Confer-ence play) who struck fi rst, however.

Eastside forced a three-and-out on Fairfi eld’s fi rst possession, and Kadis Renier’s 35-yard run set up P.J. Dean’s 5-yard touchdown run just three minutes into the contest.

The Falcons (4-1 overall and in NECC play) made sure everyone knew what kind of a night was in store, controlling the ball for the next six minutes, with Kitson grabbing a 7-yard pass from Kyle

Mast for the tying score with 2:31 left in the opening quarter.

The Falcons forced a three-and-out on Eastside’s next possession, and returned the ensuing punt to the Blazer 38.

On the fi rst play of the second quarter, Kitson was in the end zone again, this time on a 9-yard run. Reid Kammerdiener’s kick made it 14-7, Fairfi eld.

The teams traded short posses-sions before the visitors embarked on a seven-play, 71-yard scoring drive, capped by Kitson’s 17-yard TD run with 2:02 left in the half.

The Blazers attempted to rally, with Dean completing two passes for fi rst downs and running for another before Fairfi eld’s Lucas Miller intercepted his pass at the Falcon 15 just before the half ended.

Eastside regrouped at halftime, and put together another quick scoring drive, with Dean scoring from 3 yards out with 9:04 left in the third.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — Notre Dame is still missing graduated linebacker Manti Te’o a quarter of the way through this season.

Without the charismatic leader who made those around him better, the once dominating Fighting Irish defense is meandering even with eight returning starters. The defense has given up one fewer point through three games (71) than it did through eight games (72) last season. The Irish defense, which allowed only nine offensive touchdowns all last regular season, already has given up eight this year.

“Our guys were like hunting dogs last year. In other words, when it was time to go, we knew what to expect,” coach Brian Kelly said. “We’re not there yet, but I’m getting a better feel for our football team each and every week. I’d like to be there right now, but the problem is our first four weeks don’t allow us time to grow up.”

While the 22nd-ranked Irish (2-1) opened the season against Temple and then split

games with Michigan and Purdue, the Spartans (3-0) opened the season with wins against Western Michigan, South Florida and Youngstown State. Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said he expects to learn more about his team Saturday.

“You are going to find out how they handle adversity, how they play away, look for matchups here, how do they play in crunch time in a close game, which we really haven’t had that yet,” he said.

The Spartans this season have looked more like the Irish of last season than Notre Dame has, depending on the nation’s No. 1 defense to win games. Defensive end Shilique Calhoun has led the charge with three touchdowns on a pair of fumble recoveries and an interception return as the defense scored four of the Spartans’ first six touchdowns.

But Irish linebacker Prince Shembo believes the Irish defense is still capable of playing like it did last season.

“It’s just lack of execution.

We’ve just got to work at our assignments and get better at it,” he said.

The Irish defensive line, which has not been as produc-tive as last season, could be further hampered by an ankle sprain defensive end Sheldon Day sustained against Purdue. Day practice Thursday after missing the first two days of practice this week, but Kelly said he will be a game-time decision.

Kelly admits the Irish are still searching for their identity, but believes quarterback Tommy Rees showed leadership against Purdue in the second half that should help with that. With three players sharing the two inside linebacker spots and a first-time starter at safety in Austin Collinsworth, Kelly is looking for people to help fill the leadership void left by the departures of Te’o and Zeke Motta.

“Those are two positions we’re still in flux a little bit with,” Kelly said. “We’ve got leaders; we just haven’t got that position nailed down yet. I

think once we do, we’ll have the leadership we need.”

Here are five things to watch in the Michigan State-Notre Dame game on Saturday:

WHAT’S COOKING: Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook will make his first start against a BCS-level opponent after winning the job by throwing for four touchdowns in the first half in a 55-17 victory against Youngstown State last week. He’ll be going against a Notre Dame defense that is 89th in the country in pass defense, 56th in total defense and has struggled against mobile quarterbacks.

GROUND GAME: The Irish are 24-4 in four seasons under Kelly when outrushing opponents, while the Spartans are 43-10 in seven seasons under Dantonio with the rushing advantage. So far this season, Michigan State, behind the rushing of Jeremy Langford and Nick Hill, has been the better rushing team. The Spartans are averaging 210 yards a game while the Irish, who have three running backs sharing the load,

are averaging just 125 yards.300 CLUB: Tommy Rees is

just the second Irish quarterback to pass for 300 yards in three straight games to open a season and could become the first to do so in the first four. He had accomplished the feat only two times before this season, losing both games. The Michigan State defense has given up just 380 passing yards total in three games this season, including a high of 193 yards against Western Michigan.

THRILLING FINISHES: Nine of the last 13 games in the series have been decided by a touchdown or less and four of the last eight by a field goal. Those exciting finishes include Michigan State beating Notre Dame 34-31 in 2010 on a fake field goal in overtime when Dantonio was hospital-ized afterward because of a mild heart attack and Notre Dame winning 33-30 a year earlier when safety Kyle McCarthy intercepted a pass from Kirk Cousins at the 4-yard line with 57 seconds left.

Irish still seeking identity, face Michigan State

Although their lead was cut to a touchdown, the Falcons were unfazed, and Kitson ripped off three runs of 14 yards or more, including a back-breaking 27-yard TD run barely three minutes later to boost the score to 28-14.

When the Blazers gave up the ball on downs near midfi eld, Kitson and the Falcons scored again, this time on a 20-yard run with 2:43 left in the third. Fairfi eld missed the extra point, but led 34-14.

The teams combined for three touchdowns in just over a minute in the fourth.

Fairfi eld’s Miller broke loose for a 13-yard run with 9:52 left. Eastside’s Renier returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards to the end zone. Kitson raced 44 yards for his sixth score of the night at 8:39.

The Falcons tacked on one more score before the game ended.

The Blazers fi nished with 333 yards in total offense.

Dean ran for 95 yards on 21 carries, and completed 7-of-14 passes for 91 yards. Conner Dove completed 3-of-4 fourth-quarter passes for 71 yards.

EMMA — Different year, but the teams are the same.

West Noble and Westview earned spots in Saturday’s NECC tourna-ment chmpionship games with semifi nal victories on Friday.

Westview beat the Chargers 3-2 in last season’s tournament championship game.

“The rematch — we want this,” said West Noble’s Uriel Macias, who scored three times on Friday as the Chargers defeated Angola 5-0 in the fi rst semifi nal. “I remember the disappointment of not getting last year’s title. This one would mean everything.”

Westview beat Eastside 7-0 in the second semifi nal.

Goalkeepers Jonathan Moreno and Joeuany Reyes combined for the shutout for West Noble. Moreno made six stops in the fi rst half and Reyes stopped fi ve shots in the second half.

The Hornets kept the potent Chargers off the scoreboard for nearly 27 minutes at the outset.

“We held them for the fi rst thirty minutes, then just ran out of gas,” said Angola coach Dusan Friga. “They’re a quality team. What got us was the two games back-to-back. The guys were tired.”

Macias struck with the fi rst Charger goal on a header in front of the goal past Angola keeper Hayden Cowen.

“It was a beautiful cross from Abel (Zamarripa),” Macias said, “I just fi nished.”

West Noble struck again when Cowan came out to retrieve a shot. The ball got past and Chris Najera placed the ball in the corner of an open net with 5:32 to play in the fi rst half. Macias struck again with 52 seconds left in the half on a shot in front of the goal, giving the Chargers a 3-0 margin at the break.

Angola had its best chances early in the second half, but couldn’t connect.

Sixteen minutes into the second half Macias found himself one-on-one in front of the net with Cowan and was able to slip a shot past the Hornet keeper for a 4-0 margin. Less than a minute later Abel Zamarripa made in 5-0 with a score in front with an assist from Macias.

Columbia City’s Davin Lawrence fumbled the punt, though, and DeKalb’s Chad Ramus recovered the ball at the Eagles’ 24. Price took two keepers to the 1 before Ramus took a direct snap around the end and in for a touchdown.

Columbia City’s ensuing drive was stuffed by the Barons’ defense, and Price was given a half-fi eld to work with with 38 seconds left in the half. Two players later, he lofted a deep ball to 6-6 sophomore receiver Will Chrisman, who leaped over his defender to snatch the ball before running untouched into the end zone for a 53-yard score with 20 seconds left in the half.

Chrisman then intercepted Eagles quarterback Trevor Bolt’s pass to end the half.

The second half, though, wasn’t as exciting for DeKalb. The Barons’ six second-half series were ended with three punts, two interceptions, and the game clock with Columbia City adding two more insurance touchdowns.

“We’ve got to continue to get better, because if we’re honest, we’ve got a lot of work to do,” said Eagles

coach Randy Hudgins. “We stepped up well defensively with new guys and new schemes, but I was generally pleased with how we got after the quarterback.”

Columbia City sacked Price four times and had nine tackles for loss.

DeVos praised his own defense, which despite allowing 345 yards of total offense to the Eagles still had key stops throughout the game. He was pleased with the playmaking his offense sporadically showcased, as well.

“That’s the fi rst time we’ve seen true glimpses of what we really can become, and it’s exciting to see,” said DeVos. “We still have a large amount of mistakes to correct yet, but we’re getting there. We’ve got to build on tonight, look at the fi lm and get better.”

Price fi nished 7-of-20 for 102 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

Columbia City was led by receiver Wayne Smith, who caught three balls for 74 yards and two scores, and intercepted Price once. Bolt threw for 83 yards on 4-of-12 passing and one score.

DETROIT (AP) — Max Scherzer became baseball’s fi rst 20-game winner Friday night, pitching through bad weather for six innings to help the Detroit Tigers to a 12-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Scherzer (20-3) was making his fi fth attempt at win No. 20. He had two losses and two no-decisions in his previous four starts before Friday’s victory on a rainy night. Torii Hunter had four hits for Detroit, and Victor Martinez homered.

Dylan Axelrod (4-10) allowed seven runs in 2 2-3 innings.

The AL Central-leading Tigers lowered their magic number to eliminate second-place Cleveland to three.

Former Tiger Avisail Garcia hit a two-run homer for Chicago.

Scherzer’s previous

career high was 16 wins last year, and he’s been terrifi c this season from the start. He began with a 13-0 stretch and remains among the front-runners for the American League Cy Young Award.

By the middle innings, the biggest obstacle between Scherzer and win No. 20 was probably the weather. It was raining at the start of the game, and although the teams played through it, there was always the possibility of a delay that could have knocked Scherzer out before he could pitch the required fi ve innings for the victory.

Detroit’s offense did its part, scoring two runs in the fi rst, one in the second, four in the third and fi ve in the fi fth. With the rain falling and umbrellas showing up throughout the crowd, Scherzer allowed three runs

and six hits. He walked one and struck out three.

Scherzer was receiving a major league-high 6.66 runs of support on average before Friday’s game — and the Tigers quickly added to that fi gure.

Braves 9, Cubs 5Chris Johnson went 3

for 4 with a home run, and Atlanta beat Chicago 9-5 on Friday to reduce its magic number to clinch the NL East to one.

The Braves broke open a tie game in the top of the ninth with four runs — all with two outs. Brian McCann and Johnson had RBI singles, and Andrelton Simmons followed with a two-run double.

Freddie Freeman earlier hit a three-run homer for Atlanta.

David Carpenter (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth to get the win.

Henrik Stenson builds 4-shot lead at East Lake

ATLANTA (AP) — Henrik Stenson made three birdies on the opening four holes at East Lake to quickly seize control and shot 4-under 66 to build a four-shot lead over Adam Scott in the Tour Championship.

Stenson was at 10-under 130 going into the third round and might be playing a course far less firm. The forecast is for rain most of day, and the starting times have been moved up to Saturday morning with hopes of getting it in.

Tiger Woods was 14 shots behind. It was the first time since the 2011 PGA Championship that Woods began a tournament with back-to-back rounds over par.

Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old rookie, had a 67 and was five shots behind. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson and Billy Horschel were another shot back.

Stenson (No. 2) and Scott (No. 3) are among the top five seeds in the FedEx Cup who could take home the $10 million bonus simply by winning the Tour Championship. Woods could still win the FedEx Cup if both of them falter, which is looking unlikely halfway through the tournament.

Scott has even more at stake — a win might be enough for him to win PGA Tour player of the year.

Tsonga and Simon reach Open de Moselle semifi nals

METZ, France (AP) — Top-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga stayed on course for his third straight Open de Moselle title by beating Germany’s Tobias Kamke 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semifinals on Friday.

Saturday’s other semi is an all-French match between Gilles Simon and Nicolas Mahut.

Simon beat sixth-seeded Sam Querrey 6-4, 7-6 (1). Simon, who did not face a single break point, next plays countryman Nicolas Mahut after he beat Germany’s Benjamin Becker 6-2, 6-4.

SCOREBOARD•

kpcnews.com B3SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2013

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The meeting was intimate and brief. Following his team’s fi rst 0-2 start in more than a decade, Pittsburgh Steelers quarter-back Ben Roethlisberger and safety Ryan Clark huddled with remaining players from the club’s last Super Bowl title in 2009 and tried to plot a course forward.

While a pep talk certainly doesn’t hurt, it can’t score a touchdown or force a turnover.

“It’s not like it’s a magic solution,” Roethlisberger said.

Perhaps because there isn’t one.

The Steelers enter Sunday night’s game against the unbeaten — if not exactly unbeatable — Chicago Bears (2-0) ranked near the bottom of the league in every major offensive category. Pittsburgh can’t run it, can’t throw it deep and can’t seem to fi nd its way to the end zone with any regularity.

“It’s as frustrating as it gets right now,” running back Isaac Redman said. “I don’t think anybody expected this.”

And it’s only going to get worse if the Steelers can’t fi nd a way to keep up with the resilient Bears. Chicago’s perfect start is the byproduct of a pair of fourth-quarter rallies, the latest a 10-play, 66-yard drive in the fi nal minutes against Minnesota last Sunday. It ended with a 16-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jay Cutler to tight end Martellus Bennett that lifted the Bears to a 31-30 victory.

“We’ve had a few things go

our way, a few fourth-quarter plays went our way,” Cutler said. “We’re obviously happy to be 2-0 but we realize there is a lot of work ahead of us.”

Here are fi ve things to look for as Pittsburgh tries to win a game and Chicago tries to establish itself as a threat in the NFC under fi rst-year coach Marc Trestman.

CONTENDERS?: The Steelers’ list of problems is about as long as their roster. A 3-0 start would boost the argument that the Bears are for real, at least in the NFC North. A loss, on the other hand, would raise all sorts of questions. After all, they had to rally to beat Minnesota in the closing seconds, and that came on the heels of a season-opening win over Cincinnati when they trailed by 11 in the third quarter.

YOUR TURN FELIX: The Philadelphia Eagles considered running back Felix Jones so expendable they traded him to Pittsburgh last month for linebacker Adrian Robinson, who didn’t even make the team. Jones impressed Steelers coach Mike Tomlin enough during last week’s loss to Cincinnati to get another turn at the wheel against the Bears. Jones still has the burst that made him a fi rst-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys back in 2008. He’ll need it to fi nd holes behind an offensive line that isn’t exactly dominating at the line of scrimmage. Pittsburgh’s 75 yards rushing this season is less than 34 individual players, including

four quarterbacks.HESTER’S HAVOC: The

most encouraging sign for the Bears last week likely was Devin Hester’s performance.

He returned fi ve kickoffs for a club-record 249 yards against the Vikings and reminded everyone else that he still can be a game-changer. That was one of the big questions coming into this season after he was ineffec-tive a year ago. His longest kickoff return in 2012 was for 40 yards. He exceeded that

three times last week, including a 76-yarder after right after Cordarrelle Patterson returned the opener 105 yards and an 80-yarder in the second quarter.

CREATING CHAOS: Pittsburgh’s defense remains one of the league’s best, but the Steelers are no longer making the kind of splash plays necessary to fl ip the fi eld. Pittsburgh is one of two teams (Oakland is the other) that has yet to create turnovers and it has just one sack through two games. An interception here or a fumble recovery there could go a long way to help boost the offense’s confi dence: “We need to put people in bad situations behind the sticks,” Clark said. “(That) allows us to do what we do best, which is rush the quarterback, create pressure, sack-fumbles and cause bad throws.”

PANIC TIME: The Steelers dropped their fi rst two games in 2003 before catching fi re under journeyman quarterback Tommy Maddox and earning a wild-card berth. They’ve never made it to the postseason starting 0-3. While Roethlisberger and coach Mike Tomlin believe mid-Sep-tember is hardly the time to panic — and in the, so far, anemic AFC North, they might be right — Pittsburgh can’t afford to lose any more ground. “A win would solve or help heal some wounds that we have right now, but for us it’s still early in the season,” Roethlisberger said. “And it’s a home game, so we think all those are must wins.”

On The Air•

The DeKalb County Free Fall Fair is fi nally upon us. Growing up in Hillsdale County, Mich., their fair was always the last week of September, so it was a natural fi t for me here in DeKalb with their fair

falling the same week. For me fall, corresponds with fair, and it isn’t fall without one.

Back in July, when most county fairs are, Clayton Rye, a farmer

from Hanlontown, Iowa, wrote the following for The Farmers Exchange:

So while you are eating the wonderful food and playing the fun games on the midway, make sure you check out the animal and nonanimal exhibits down on the fairgrounds that celebrate the hard work and dedication of the youth that participate in our 4-H program.

Fair season is approaching, and it is time for me to give my annual reminder encouraging everyone to go to the fair and not to miss the best part of the fair.

What is the best part of the fair?

Besides the grandstand events, the food, the midway, and just spending a day seeing people who are doing the same thing you are doing, the best part of the fair is in the livestock barns and displays by the 4-H and FFA members.

It is not so much the livestock and displays that are great (well, yes, they are), but those wonderful, amazing kids who have spent hours preparing their projects for the fair are truly great.

The projects can have four or two legs, long or short ears, feathers, be a family pet, made of steel or paper or cloth or wood, or on a plate or in a vase.

I have a soft spot for the livestock barn, because a walk through the barn will show these young people wearing shorts and a T-shirt with a brush in one hand and a garden hose frequently in the other.

An hour later, those same young people will be wearing a clean shirt and as well groomed as the animals they just spent time preparing for the judging event.

In the show ring, the animal is led, herded or pulled along as the judge looks over the entries.

The sorting begins with the better entries being selected until the top entrant receives that coveted ribbon for best of show. It is a joyful moment for that winner. For everyone else, there’s always next year.

It is a good lesson in life. Rewards go to those who make the extra effort in their pursuit of excellence. It is the spirit of competition that makes excellence.

It is another lesson that while those extra efforts were made, the judge may not see them or they are not what the judge is looking for. Yes, it is not fair, but the judge’s decision is fi nal.

It is another important life lesson to learn about disappointment and how to handle it, including those times when you believe the judge is wrong.

It is usually in those

disappointments where we learn our best lessons and how to grow from them.

So, for any 4-H and FFA members reading this, just know if it were up to me, all of you would get a blue ribbon.

But that is not in the spirit of competition, and it cheapens the meaning of what a blue ribbon represents.

This is also a good time to thank those 4-H and FFA leaders who keep projects, kids and the paperwork moving. The motivation has to start somewhere and the leader is just that.

These are the people who are always there standing a few feet away, offering encouragement and making sure that the rules of safety are followed.

I fi nd it really something that a cow, a restored tractor, a photograph and a plate of brownies all have the same thing in common. They were made possible by parents, a leader and, of course, the exhibitor who will be leading a bucket calf today and in coming years, a 1,300-pound steer that is halter broke.

It is defi nitely the best of show.

See you at the fair.

Many farmers in the Midwest are seeing healthy corn crops with near-record yields expected. Corn

growers really will start to see the full effect of more domestically produced nitrogen in 2015.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Changes in the economics of grain production after drought led to record-high farm incomes in 2012 could mean a shift in the demand for and prices of agricultural inputs for the 2014 crop, a Purdue Extension agricultural economist says.

The 2012 drought-ravaged crop left short supplies and high demand, with farmers receiving high prices for the grain they were able to produce and high insurance indemnities on covered crops that were destroyed. High grain-farm incomes capped a series of years with abnormally high grain prices. But with some drought relief in major corn- and soybean-production states leading to expected higher yields and lower commodity prices, grain farmers can expect to see changes in what they pay for inputs, such as seed, fertilizers, fuels and chemicals, for the 2014 crop.

An apparent shift in market demand for corn and soybeans also could play a major role in what it will cost growers to produce the next crop, Alan Miller said.

“The markets are currently saying they want more soybeans and less corn in 2014, which changes the demand for inputs,” he said. “For example, growers don’t need as much nitrogen fertilizer if they are growing less corn. That ultimately will affect the prices of inputs.”

The big story in 2014 crop produc-tion costs, Miller said, is fertilizer prices. Potash and phosphate prices have been declining since the fall of 2012 and are down 15-17 percent since last spring. Nitrogen prices peaked last spring and have dropped about 22 percent this fall. Farmers’ ability to apply fertilizer this fall will help determine what prices will look like for next spring.

“If weather or a late harvest were to keep farmers from applying fertilizers this fall, it could drive fertilizer prices down for the spring,” he said. “Normally, fertilizer prices hit bottom in the early fall, but we will have to wait and see is if the market is weak enough to sustain the drop into the spring.”

Nitrogen prices also are falling because the U.S. is now a low-cost producer. North American fertilizer producers are expecting historically strong sales this fall.

During the height of the ethanol boom, farmers were growing more corn and using more nitrogen. Plus, natural gas prices were high. Since then, natural gas prices have fallen, which has led to renewed interest in investing in domestic production capacity for nitrogen fertilizers. This leads to greater supplies of U.S.-pro-duced nitrogen in the future if the cost

of producing it here stays well below its market price as it is now.

“Corn growers really will start to see the full effect of more domestically produced nitrogen in 2015,” Miller said. “We have been importing more than 50 percent of our nitrogen fertilizer, meaning supply disruptions could easily impact prices. As we produce more of our own, we will import less. The bigger supply will benefi t corn producers.”

Recent prices for nitrogen in anhydrous ammonia form have hovered around $700 per ton. According to Miller, that could possibly eventually fall to as low as $400 or $500 per ton if U.S. production capacity increases considerably.

One area where farmers won’t see price relief is seed costs. By Miller’s estimates, some seed could be up by 2-3 percent or more for the 2014 planting season.

“Seed is not the place where growers will cut corners to try to save money,” he said. “They will be careful in pricing inputs, but they want the technology to produce the best crop possible.”

The prices of chemicals, such as herbicides, pesticides and fungicides, are likely to be a mixed bag. For the most part, chemical prices will be up slightly — about 1 percent, according to Miller. The exception is herbicide, where prices will remain fl at.

Prices for fuels commonly used on the farm currently are expected to be down in 2014. The costs for both diesel, which powers most farm machinery, and propane, which farmers use to power grain dryers, could be down by about 4 percent.

Fuel prices, however, can be among the most volatile costs farmers encounter each year because much of it is imported. While an increase in domestic energy production has helped thwart major supply disrup-tions, Miller said tensions abroad could affect what farmers pay for fuel in the U.S.

Farmers who have wanted to purchase new tractors, combines, implements or other machinery have encountered increasing prices. Machinery prices increased by an average of 7.4 percent per year from 2002 to 2012 because record-high farm incomes increased demand. The sustained increases in machinery prices could quickly come to a halt, especially for used farm equipment, if commodity prices decline and stay down for an extended period of time, Miller said.

As producers make their decisions about inputs for the 2014 crop year, Miller said the bottom line is that they should keep an eye on the economics of each decision. For fertilizer, that means waiting to see if prices continue to decline.

Ag economist: 2013 to be a transition year for farmers

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to cut nearly $4 billion a year from food stamps, a 5 percent reduction to the nation’s main feeding program used by more than 1 in 7 Americans.

The 217-210 vote was a win for conservatives after Democrats united in opposition and some GOP moderates said the cut was too high. Fifteen Republicans voted against the measure.

The bill’s savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients and to test applicants for drugs. The bill also would end government waivers that have allowed able-bodied adults without dependents to receive food stamps indefi -nitely.

House conservatives, led by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., have said the almost $80 billion-a-year program has become bloated. More than 47 million Americans are now on food stamps, and the

program’s cost more than doubled in the last fi ve years as the economy struggled through the Great Recession. Democrats said the rise in the rolls during tough economic times showed the program was doing its job.

Finding a compromise — and the votes — to scale back the feeding program has been diffi cult. The conserva-tives have insisted on larger cuts, Democrats opposed any cuts and some moderate Republicans from areas with high food stamp usage have been wary of efforts to slim the program. The White House has threatened to veto the bill.

House leaders were still shoring up votes on the bill just hours before the vote. To make their case, the Republican leaders emphasized that the bill targets able-bodied adults who don’t have dependents. And they say the broader work requirements in the bill are similar to the 1996 welfare law that led to a decline in people receiving that government assistance.

“This bill is designed to give people a hand when they need it most,” Cantor said on the fl oor just before the bill passed. “And most people don’t choose to be on food stamps. Most people want a job … They want what we want.”

The new work require-ments proposed in the bill would allow states to require 20 hours of work activities per week from any able-bodied adult with a child over age 1 if that person has child care available. The requirements would be applicable to all parents whose children are over age 6 and attending school.

The legislation is the House’s effort to fi nish work on a wide-ranging farm bill, which has historically included both farm programs and food stamps. The House Agriculture Committee approved a combined bill earlier this year, but it was defeated on the fl oor in June after conservatives revolted, saying the cuts to food stamps weren’t high enough.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Young people on family-op-erated grain farms and beginning workers in the commercial grain industry can learn how to stay safe in their work by attending daylong training offered by Purdue University.

“Safe Grain Storage and Handling for Youth and Beginning Workers” will be offered Sept. 30 at Brock Manufacturing, Milford, Ind.; Oct. 2 at Beck Educational Center, West Lafayette, Ind.; and Oct. 16 at FFA Leader-ship Center, Trafalgar, Ind. Training will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 3 p.m.

Steve Wettschurack, a Purdue farm rescue instructor, said the goal is to provide basic awareness safety and health training needed by young people interested in pursuing employment in the commercial grain industry or who are already employed on family-operated farms with grain storage operations. He said about one in every fi ve

victims of serious accidents at grain storage and handling facilities are people under the age of 21.

“The primary cause of these tragic events has been the lack of awareness of basic hazards associated with storage and handling of grain and failure to comply with safe grain-handling practices,” Wettschurack said.

Participants will learn the importance of the grain industry and career opportu-nities. Topics to be discussed include primary hazards associated with grain storage and handling, common ways workers become entrapped in fl owing grain, basic safety practices, types of personal protective equipment, rights of workers under the provisions of the Occupa-tional Safety and Health Administration, and steps to take in the event of an emergency.

Sponsors of the training are Purdue’s Agricultural Safety and Health Program,

U.S. Department of Labor/OSHA Susan Hardwood Grant, Indiana Rural Safety and Health Council, Brock Manufacturing and Farm Bureau Insurance.

There is no cost to attend, but advance registration is required. Basic personal protective equipment and lunch will be provided.

Participants will receive a certifi cate of attendance and samples of personal protec-tive equipment commonly used in the grain industry.

Farm youth working on family-operated grain farms, high school and community college students interested in a career or summer employ-ment in agriculture or the grain industry, FFA members, and young and beginning workers in the commercial grain industry are encouraged to attend.

To register or for more information, contact Steve Wettschurack at 765-714-4557 or swettsch@purdue.edu.

Man charged withDUI on riding mower

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsyl-vania man has been charged with driving drunk while carrying an open can of beer — on a riding lawn mower.

Murrysville police say they found 55-year-old Thomas Marrone driving the mower along a road just before 1:30 a.m. Aug. 30.

Police say Marrone smelled of alcohol and had an open can of Coors Light beer in the mower’s storage compartment. They say he told them he was driving to his Murrysville home — some 6.4 miles away.

Grenades kill threeat Pakistan mosque

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani police say assailants hurled hand grenades into a Sufi mosque in the country’s northwest in a late night attack that left three people dead.

Police offi cial Misri Khan says the attack late Thursday in Achini Bala village near the Khyber tribal region also wounded 20 people.

Khan said on Friday that three of the wounded were in critical condition. Dozens of worshippers were participating in a religious gathering when the attack took place.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion will likely fall on the Pakistani Taliban and their allies. Hard-line Sunni extremists consider Sufi s to be heretics.

The agency said Friday that the ship’s captain refused to operate the Arctic Sunrise, so a Coast Guard ship has arrived at the scene to tow the ship to the port of Murmansk. The trip is expected to take three to four days.

Russian offi cials said that Greenpeace activists could face terrorism or piracy charges.

One of the activists aboard the vessel, Faiza Oulahsen, told the AP late on Thursday that about 15 armed men had boarded the Arctic Sunrise, aggressively herding 29 activists into one compartment. The vessel’s captain was held separately on the bridge.

“They used violence against some of us, they were hitting people, kicking people,” she said.

APChicago Police detectives investigate the scene where a number of people,

including a 3-year-old child, were shot Thursday night in a city park in Chicago.

CHICAGO (AP) — Those behind a late-night attack at a southwest Chicago park in which 13 people were wounded, including a 3-year-old, used an assault-style weapon to spray the crowd with bullets, making it “a miracle” no one was killed, the city’s police superinten-dent said Friday.

Ballistics evidence shows that those behind Thursday night’s attack used a 7.62 mm rifl e fed by a high-capacity magazine, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters. That type of weapon, he said, belongs on a “battle-fi eld, not on the street or a corner or a park in the Back of the Yards,” the neighbor-hood where the shooting took place.

“It’s a miracle in this instance that there have been no fatalities based upon the lethality of the weapon used at the scene,” McCarthy

said, calling on lawmakers to restrict the sale of such weapons and choke off the fl ow of illegal guns into the city.

The attack happened shortly after 10 p.m. while the Cornell Square Park was still crowded with people watching a basketball game and enjoying a warm late summer night.

Investigators believe several people took part in the attack but weren’t sure yet how many fi red shots. McCarthy said that based on witness interviews, it appears the attack was gang-related and that several victims are gang members.

“Even if it’s gang-re-lated, even if we have the most hardened criminals who becomes the victim of gun violence, that individual is the father, brother, sister sometimes parent of somebody else,” McCarthy said. “So murder is not a one-victim crime.”

Among those shot was a 3-year-old boy, Deonta Howard, and two teenagers, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old.

Deonta was alert when he arrived at the hospital and was apparently doing well, his family and friends said early Friday. He was in critical condition, as were two other shooting victims. The others were reportedly in serious or fair condition.

Deonta’s uncle, Julian Harris, told the Chicago Sun-Times that dreadlocked men in a gray sedan shot at him Thursday night before turning toward the nearby park and opening fi re. He said his nephew was shot in the cheek.

“They hit the light pole next to me, but I ducked down and ran into the house,” Harris said. “They’ve been coming round here looking for people to shoot every night, just gang-banging stuff. It’s what they do.”

Assault weapon leaves13 wounded in Chicago

THE HAGUE, Nether-lands (AP) — Syria has sent the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons an “initial declara-tion” outlining its weapons program, the organization said Friday.

Spokesman Michael Luhan told The Associ-ated Press the declaration is “being reviewed by our verifi cation division.” The organization will not release details of what is in the declaration.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the United States and other nations that have joined the chemical weapons organization “will be making a careful and thorough review of the initial document.”

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, based in The Hague, polices a global treaty known as the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, which bars the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical arms. The organization relies on a global network of more than a dozen top laboratories to analyze fi eld samples.

U.S. offi cials said last week that the United States and Russia agreed that Syria had roughly 1,000 metric tons of chemical weapons agents and precursors, including blister agents, such as sulfur and mustard gas and nerve agents like sarin.

In the aftermath of the U.N. report that concluded sarin had been used in an attack in Damascus last month, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which polices the

treaty outlawing chemical weapons, is looking at ways to fast-track moves to secure and destroy Syria’s arsenal of poison gas and nerve agents as well as its produc-tion facilities.

However, diplomatic efforts to speed up the process are moving slowly. A meeting initially scheduled for Sunday at which the organization’s 41-nation executive council was to have discussed a U.S.-Rus-sian plan to swiftly rid Syria of chemical weapons was postponed Friday, and no new date was immediately set. No reason was given for the postponement.

Harf said she did not know why the meeting was postponed, but said Syria’s initial declaration was a step Washington was seeking “and we’ll go from there.”

Under a U.S.-Russia agreement brokered last weekend in Geneva, inspec-tors are to be on the ground in Syria by November. During that month, they are to complete their initial assess-ment and all mixing and fi lling equipment for chemical weapons is to be destroyed.

All components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by mid-2014.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons plan of action will be backed up by a U.N. Security Council resolution, and negotiations remain underway on the text of such a resolution.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he talked to his Russian counter-part, Sergey Lavrov, about Syria’s chemical weapons early Friday.

Syria sends fi rstinformation onchemical arsenal

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSColoradans who ventured

back into the fl ood-ravaged town of Lyons found scenes of stomach-churning destruc-tion, with dozens of homes destroyed, family keepsakes missing, food spoiling and mud everywhere.

“It’s just sickening,” said Gloria Simpson, whose family salvaged some of her grandmother’s handmade quilts Thursday from her 81-year-old father’s home. They found some family photos, but others were nowhere to be found.

The number of dead rose to seven, with three others missing and presumed dead. But the number of unaccounted-for people dropped to about 80, thanks to rescues, restored communications and door-to-door searches.

Rescue operations tapered off and the state began to turn its attention to fi nding homes for the displaced, restoring basic services and fi guring out how to repair hundreds of miles of roads and dozens of bridges.

“Right now we’re just moving from the life-saving mode to the life-sustaining mode,” said Kevin Kline, director of the Colorado Division of Homeland

Security and Emergency Management.

Kline said it was too early to estimate the dollar damage but added, “It’s going to be big.”

The damage spans 17 counties and nearly 2,000 square miles.

Gov. John Hickenlooper said the state’s reconstruction effort would be overseen by Jerre Stead, executive chairman of the global information company IHS Inc.

With dustings of snow already on the highest mountains, a new group within the state Transpor-tation Department will focus on repairing and reconstructing as much of the state highway system as possible by Dec. 1.

Under tight security, hundreds of Lyons evacuees were given two hours to check on their homes Thursday. On Sept. 12, the St. Vrain River destroyed dozens of homes, a trailer park, two bridges and sections of roads in the picturesque town of 1,600.

Darren Horwitz saw boulders, broken glass and dislodged propane tanks strewn around Lyons. His truck and sailboat that he parked at a friend’s mobile home had been swept away.

“When you get there, the shock sets in,” he said.

Bob Ruthrauff, 84, found his home intact, but food was rotting in his refriger-ator because electricity had been cut off. He spent his two hours getting rid of the spoilage but was grateful. “We’re very lucky. We came home to a dry home,” Ruthrauff said.

Utility poles were toppled and power lines were in tangles. Work crews cleared debris and tried to restore power, water and sewer service.

E. coli has been found in the town’s drinking water and it could be two to six months before the town is livable for most, the Longmont Times-Call

reported. However, residents willing to rough it will be allowed to stay.

Millions of gallons of sewage have been released around the state because of septic systems and sewer lines torn out by fl ood waters and fl ooded waste treatment plants, said Steve Gunderson, director of the state’s water quality control division.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Al Franken is asking Apple for more clarity on privacy and security concerns he has with its use of fi ngerprint recogni-tion technology in the new iPhone 5S.

The iPhone 5S, which went on sale Friday, includes a fi ngerprint sensor that lets users tap the phone’s home button to unlock their phone, rather than enter a four-digit passcode.

But Franken said that the fingerprint system could be potentially

disastrous for users if someone does eventually hack it. While a password can be kept a secret and changed if it’s hacked, he said, fingerprints are permanent and are left on everything a person touches, making them far from a secret.

“Let me put it this way: if hackers get a hold of your thumbprint, they could use it to identify and impersonate you for the rest of your life,” the Minnesota Democrat said in a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’d like to start biking to work. Any advice before I get back on my bike?

DEAR READER: Cycling is great exercise. For one thing, it gets you breathing harder and your heart rate up. Th at pays cardiovascular dividends. Cycling stacks up well against other forms of exercise when it comes to burning calories, too. And it isn’t as hard on the knees as running.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of cycling is that it can perform double duty as a form of transportation. A number of my patients, and my colleagues here at Harvard Medical School, bicycle to and from work every day.

One of my colleagues once said: “I don’t need to go to the gym, and I don’t need to pay the gym or pay for parking. I have bike paths

most of the way, so during rush hours it takes no longer than driving. Except on a rainy day, the advantages are obvious.” During blizzards,

he takes the car. “I’m not a complete nut about cycling,” he assured me.

Now and then, cyclists injure a muscle. But the main risks of cycling are not from the physical activity but from traffi c. Th e vast majority of the fatali-ties from

bicycle-related injuries are caused by accidents involving motor vehicles. Drivers will oft en say aft er an

accident that they never saw the cyclist.

Reckless cycling can be a factor, too. Being on two wheels doesn’t mean that traffi c laws don’t apply to you. Running red lights and weaving in and out of traffi c is courting disaster. And it’s surprisingly common, at least in Boston. I sometimes wonder if part of what makes some cyclists enthusiastic about cycling is the sense that they are courting danger.

And of course, wear a helmet. Th e worst injuries to cyclists are head injuries. A patient of mine couldn’t fi nd his helmet, was in a rush and went cycling without it. He hit a pothole and sustained a severe concussion. He fully recovered, but it took six weeks.

Be especially wary about cars parked along the side of the street: Running into a car door that has opened

suddenly is a common way to get hurt. Sure, drivers should be looking in their side-view mirrors before opening the door, but they oft en don’t.

Bad technique or positioning, or a bike that’s the wrong size, can make cycling uncomfortable to the point of pain and may eventually result in injuries. High-end bike stores off er fi tting services for a fee. It will be money well spent if you’re cycling a lot. If any problems come up — knee, lower back or buttock pain, or numb hands and wrists are among the more common — a bike store should be able to make adjustments to your bike or help you tweak your technique.

DEAR ABBY: I am fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom. My days are spent doing chores and taking care of the kids. I also volunteer extensively at their schools, but I do fi nd time for other pursuits, such as reading and writing. My problem is my husband. “Bob” is the kind of guy who can’t sit still. When he’s home on weekends or taking a day off , he constantly needs to be doing something. Th is involves projects around the house. Other than spending time online, his hobbies are active ones. Because he’s always on the go, he insists I should be equally “productive.” He constantly wants to know what I’m doing, and if it’s not something he thinks is useful, he becomes passive-aggressive. Bob initiates big projects and then complains that

he gets no help and has no time for himself. He says my volunteerism takes away from time I should be

doing things around the house. In addition, Bob is incredibly neat and oft en insists that our immacu-late house needs to be cleaned. I dread the days he’s home because I have to

constantly justify my activi-ties or feel guilty if I’m not busy the entire time. Don’t misunderstand — Bob is a great guy, a good dad and my best friend. But I’m afraid I will soon resent him to the point of dislike if I

must live my life according to his unrealistic expecta-tions. Any advice other than to seek counseling? — NOT A LOAFER IN CHICAGO DEAR NOT A LOAFER: Nope. It appears that your great guy, good dad and best friend is so controlling he makes you miserable when he’s home. I agree that if this continues, it will have a negative eff ect on your marriage. Th e person who should explain it to him is a licensed mental health professional who can provide the counseling and/or medication he may need, because I suspect he may have OCD.
