SCEDC having bang up year BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Dave Koenig isn’t one to go out on a limb, but he feels pretty safe about doing so in 2013. The Steuben County Economic Development Corp. Koenig heads is having a banner year, surpassing goals set previously for the organization. Even though the year is just about to enter the fourth quarter, Koenig feels as though there will be more economic development activity before the confetti flies on New Year’s Eve. “Typically I would not want to

make projections … generally they don’t work out the way I envision,” Koenig said in an activity update he gave Thursday during a meeting of the Steuben Koenig County Industrial Guild. The meeting featured as its main speaker Eric Doden, the new director of the Indiana Economic Development Corp. For the year, the SCEDC has worked on 18 industrial projects

that resulted in 291 new jobs pledged and an investment of $43.5 million. The IEDC has worked five of the prospects. That surpassed the SCEDC board’s goal of $40 million in investment creating 250 new job commitments. “My projection is that, the 18 projects, $43.5 million investment and 291 new jobs committed thus far in 2013 will not be are final number for the year. The buildings in Fremont, as well as a few businesses that we have been working with, along with the IEDC, are likely to announce their

projects yet this year. We aren’t talking about hundreds of jobs, but nice job gains with good wages and diversification of the local economy,” Koenig said. One of the key ingredients to future success in landing new business and jobs will be getting more shovel-ready site designations in the community, Koenig said. “In addition to the activities brought on by the available building space, we continue to work towards gaining more shovel-ready sites in Steuben SEE SCEDC, PAGE A10

Talks take aim beyond chemical weapons GENEVA (AP) — The top diplomats from the United States and Russia raised hopes Friday for reviving broad talks to end the long and deadly Syrian civil war, even as they struggled to deal with the most notorious part — the use of chemical weapons on civilians. The path to a U.N. resolution on securing those weapons seemed at least somewhat clearer, with the U.S. indicating it could accept an enforcement measure that didn’t threaten military retribution. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, leading talks in Geneva to defuse the crisis, both made clear that any prospects for restarting broad peace negotiations depended on

first settling the standoff over the chemical weapons. They were to meet again Saturday. The U.S. has been seeking a U.N. Security Council resolution to solidify the turnover that Syrian President Bashar Assad has promised, including consequences if he doesn’t follow through. Addressing a difficult sticking point, administration officials said Friday that President Barack Obama was open to a resolution that did not include military force as a punishment, given that Russia would be all but certain to veto any measure including such a penalty. Even without a military trigger included in a U.N. resolution, the officials said Obama would retain

the authority to order U.S. air strikes against Syria. At the White House, Obama said any agreement to remove Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile “needs to be verifiable and enforceable.” As for possible U.N. action, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, “We are not going to prejudge the outcome of negotiations that are just beginning in New York. The U.S. has been clear that for any effort to be credible it must be verifiable and include consequences for noncompliance.” Senior administration officials also outlined for the first time a timetable for a diplomatic resolution of the issue of the weapons, saying the U.S. will know within

a few weeks whether a path is workable. The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the internal deliberations publicly. U.N. inspectors prepared to turn in their own poison gas report this weekend, sure to be an important basis for any further action. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he expected “an overwhelming report” that chemical weapons were indeed used on the outskirts of Damascus on Aug. 21. The chief inspector, Ake Sellstrom, told The Associated Press that he would deliver his report to the secretary-general in New York this weekend.

Brauker paints national image for Native Americans

BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

MANISTEE, Mich. — A local Native American artist’s work has been chosen by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for nationwide publicity during American Indian Heritage Month. A painting by Shirley M. Brauker, a member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, was chosen to represent the state of Michigan and its natural waterways. Each year, the NRCS selects a state and theme for an artwork competition to celebrate American Indian Heritage Month. This year, it was Michigan with the theme “Land of the Great Water — Sustainer of Life.” “I just want to thank everybody that had any part in choosing this award for me,” Brauker said. “It’s an honor to be able to represent Michigan artists, Michigan natives and Michigan waterways. …. It was really an honor to be part of this contest that commemorates American Indian Heritage Month too.” The image shows three Native American women harvesting wild rice — which they call manomin — using traditional rice beaters — bawaginaaks — to pound the rice into their canoes. “The Rice Spirit floats just under the water. Her hair is wild rice,” said Brauker. Canadian geese fly in the background. “The paintings are always supposed to show some aspect of the American Indian culture, relative to the state,” said Sandy Penn, NRCS representative. “This painting just really told us something about Michigan, about tribal cultures here.” There will be 16,000 posters printed in mid-October then sent

to the 50 states’ Department of Natural Resource offices. Those offices are asked to distribute it to local tribes for American Indian Heritage Month in November. “I am so proud of Shirley,” said Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Chief Larry Romanelli. “For a long time, the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians has known about her arts and talents. Now that the nation will know is just wonderful. The fact that she was able to capture so much in one drawing was not amazing to me either. We know that not only is she a talented artist, she also understands the culture very

well.” Brauker has been recognized nationally for her unique pottery and other artwork, generally focusing on Native American culture and imagery. She is currently working on a piece for Disney World in Orlando, Fla. “I am designing large clay wall murals for their new spa. Several of my pieces are already there. Now I need to work on the big pieces for their lobby,” said Brauker, who recently signed a contract to be the “Artist in Residence” at the Eiteljorg Indian and Western Art Museum in Indianapolis for the next year.

ANGOLA — Seven local individuals earned the 2013 Outstanding Floodplain Project Award from the Indiana Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management Inc. The award was presented for the John Leach Drain Wetland restoration. The project is located east of the Selman Timber Frame, south of the trail along the west edge of the open ditching, said a news release from Bill Boyer, Angola’s engineer. Eric Henion, Angola MS4 coordinator and his cooperating partners, Larry Gilbert, Steuben County surveyor and the Steuben County Drainage Board; Angola Parks and Recreation and Bob Walter, former superintendent and Matt Hanna, current superintendent; Kayleen Hart, administrative coordinator and the Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District; and Robert Shearer and Rowland Associates were honored. The ditch receives storm water runoff from 516 acres. The project diverts normal flow and first-flush rain events. The wetland will be controlled by a spillway. INAFSM had its annual convention at Pokagon State Park this past week. The project was funded by the Steuben County Drainage Board, the City of Angola and was also part of an Environmental Protection Agency Clean Water Act Section 319 Grant. Technical assistance was also provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Miss Indiana Terrin Thomas wears a white, crystal-lace gown for the evening gown competition Tuesday night at the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City, N.J.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Miss Indiana Terrin Thomas is feeling good about her performances on the first two nights of Miss America competition, her mother said Thursday. “She feels she’s absolutely doing her best and is comfortable, confident. I’m not seeing any nerves,” said Joy Thomas of Auburn. Terrin Thomas competed in the pageant’s interview, swimsuit and evening gown categories Tuesday. She sang for the talent judging Wednesday night on the stage in Atlantic City, N.J. Only the winners of each round are revealed, so Thomas does not know how she scored on the first two nights. Competition ends tonight, when Thomas will answer a question on stage, accounting for 5 percent of her total score. Finals of the pageant will be broadcast live Sunday at 9 p.m. on the ABC television network. Thomas’ supporters saw a good omen in her

interview time at 11:11 a.m. Tuesday, as the 11th contestant to meet with judges. “When we saw her that night, she said she felt the interview went very well. It was a very upbeat, very positive,” Joy Thomas said. Tuesday evening, Miss Indiana wore a black, two-piece swimsuit on stage and appeared to be very confident, her mother said. For the evening gown competition, also Tuesday evening, Thomas wore a white, crystal lace gown with her long, brunette hair pulled up. “Very, very classic — she did a great job,” Joy Thomas reported. “We were able to visit with her Tuesday evening. She was a little tired. That was a big day.” In the talent judging Wednesday night, “She just really came out and had a great talent performance. She was very happy,” Joy Thomas said. “I am ECSTATIC about my talent performance tonight!! Thank you to everyone for your prayers!

They were answered!!” Terrin Thomas posted on her Facebook page, Terrin Thomas Miss Indiana 2013. “I think she came across very strong, very confident. She did the performance that she wanted to do,” Joy Thomas said. Terrin Thomas wore a long, red gown for the talent competition and sang “I’m Afraid This Might Be Love,” the same ballad she chose for the Miss Indiana pageant in June. “Terrin is representing Indiana extremely well, and we’re all very proud of her,” said Marni Lemons, director of public relations for the Miss Indiana pageant. “There’s a lot of strong girls here, and they definitely came well prepared, and it’s a very good competition,” Joy Thomas said. “She’s holding up amazingly well. She has come into it very mentally prepared and focused and persevered.” The contestants face an endurance test that sees them rise at 6 to 7 a.m. every day and keep up a fast pace until 10 to 11

p.m. No competition events are on the schedule for tonight. Contestants will be rehearsing for the television broadcast over the next two days. Saturday evening brings the traditional Show Us Your Shoes parade on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. Joy Thomas said 200,000 people are expected to watch the two-hour event. Terrin Thomas’ shoes for the parade will pay tribute to Indiana University, where she is a junior. Each shoe features a red-and-white IU logo on the heel, with a basketball design on the toe and basketball-style netting around the ankle area. The Atlantic City newspaper featured a photo of Thomas’ IU shoes, and Indiana University basketball coach Tom Crean reacted to them with a Twitter message. “We at Indiana basketball are wishing TerrinThomas@ MissIN2013 nothing but the very best in the Miss America pageant. Bring your Best!“ Crean wrote on Twitter.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose broadly Friday, giving the Dow Jones industrial average its best week since January. The market got a lift from two economic reports, one showing that inflation remained tame in August and the other showing that Americans spent more at stores last month. The Dow rose 75.42 points, or 0.5 percent, to 15,376.06. The index closed up three percent for the week, its best five-day performance since the week ending Jan. 4. Intel led the Dow higher. Analysts at Jefferies & Co. said Intel may be able to increase its sales with power-efficient chips. Intel rose 81 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $23.44. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4.57 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,687.99. The Nasdaq composite index rose 6.22 points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,722.18. Traders had a few economic reports to work through. Americans increased their spending modestly in August, roughly

0.2 percent, the Commerce Department reported, however that was half of what economists expected. The sales report was mixed. Shoppers spent more on cars, electronics and furniture, but they didn’t buy much else. Last month, several retail chains including Nordstrom, Macy’s and Wal-Mart cut their profit forecasts for the year. The government also reported that wholesale prices rose 0.3 percent last month. Over the past year, prices have only gained 1.4 percent, a sign that inflation has remains modest. One thing driving wholesale prices higher was energy, which spiked as tensions with Syria and the U.S. escalated. Trading was light as Wall Street headed into the weekend and the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Investors were looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Sept. 17-18, when the central bank is expected to decide the future of its bond-buying program.

Teachers strike in Mexico City MEXICO CITY (AP) — Thousands of striking teachers seized control of the historic heart of Mexico City on Friday, blockading the Zocalo plaza armed with metal pipes and wooden clubs as riot police flooded the area for what could be an ugly confrontation culminating weeks of protests against an education reform. The teachers used steel grates and plastic traffic dividers to block the streets leading into the Zocalo, home to the Metropolitan Cathedral, Templo Mayor and National Palace, some of the city’s best-known tourist attractions. Hundreds of Mexico City and federal riot police massed on the other sides of the barriers. Mexico’s government has promised that Independence Day celebrations, including the traditional presidential shout of independence from a balcony overlooking the square, will take place there Sunday and Monday. The teachers, many veterans of battles with police in the

poor southern states where they live, are promising not to move from the square where they have camped out for weeks, launching a string of disruptive marches around the city. Manuel Mondragon, the head of the federal police, warned on national television that police would move in at 4 p.m. local time. One of the heads of the teachers’ union organizing the protests said organizers were still deciding what to do, but protesters on the street said they were preparing for battle. The teachers have disrupted the center of one of the world’s largest cities at least 15 times over the last two months decrying a plan that aims to break union control of Mexico’s dysfunctional education system. President Enrique Pena Nieto dashed the teachers’ hopes of blocking the overhaul when he signed the new system into law Tuesday. On Wednesday, the protests began turning violent.

Tractors changed farms, and America’s way of life Growing up, my dad and grandfather almost always had draft horses or mules on their farms. Since I left home, my mom and dad have gotten back into draft horses a lot more. Dad uses them for wagon rides and doing chores around the farm, from hauling hay out to ELYSIA animals to logging RODGERS trees out of the woods. Even though we do have a tractor, it is always fun watching how farming was done “in the old days.” The use of horses is actually making a bit of a comeback lately, as people are looking at slowing things down. While horses are wonderful work animals, sometimes you just need the power from a tractor. David Mas Masumoto, writer of “Special to The Bee,” wrote the following article

•

about the history of the tractor: Early in the 1900s, Henry Ford first introduced the Fordson, a modern tractor with a smaller gas-powered engine. The Model F was farmer-friendly, if the average farmer was willing to tolerate the unbearable engine heat and the occasional motor catching on fire. Driven by efficiency, gradually the Fordson was improved. It still required new inputs of gas and oil and used resources of steel and later rubber, but it could outperform the poor old horse. Imagine millions of farmers, shaking their heads and saying, “Ain’t gonna work.” They then returned to their farm with Jake or Betty, their loyal and steady team of horses or mules. They could not foresee the changes coming. They didn’t understand Ford’s arrogant yet visionary comment: Ask farmers what they want and they would have said a faster horse. The tractor triggered a massive change in farm size. In 1900, farmers typically

worked about 100 acres; by 1960 it was 300 acres (and today it’s over 400 acres). Some claim the push for productivity forced farmers to keep expanding in a never-ending race. Productivity in agriculture has resulted in cheaper and cheaper food, the efficiencies brought by the tractor as well as other innovations and equipment, made food more available than ever before. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percent of our annual income spent on food has continually plummeted. In 1900, when horses ruled our farmlands, Americans spent 43 percent of their income on food. By 1950, it had dropped to 30 percent, and today it’s less than 9 percent. Tractors rule, horses drool. American farms changed in another significant way: human labor was no longer needed and the farm population dramatically shifted. In 1900, 41 percent of America claimed to be farmers and 60 percent of Americans lived in rural areas. By 1960 (as

tractors dominated agriculture), the number of farmers had collapsed to only 8 percent, and rural communities shrank to 30 percent. Today, less than 2 percent acknowledge they’re farmers, and rural America is about one-fifth of the population. But were millions of workers displaced or freed? Other than periods of the Great Depression and images from “The Grapes of Wrath,” this migration off the farm did not necessarily include economic refugees who were poor, out of work, and fleeing the terror of the tractors that pushed humans off the land. For many, it was an escape from the hard physical work of farming. Industrial America grew at precisely the same moment in our nation’s history, absorbing this labor force. Commerce benefitted from a new set of skilled hands, launching the rise of the urban middle class. The tractor, far from being a mechanical demon, was seen as a savior: freeing millions from the torture of farm labor and isolated rural life.

What price are we paying for cheap food? Major medical problems today are associated with the current dietary opportunity of inexpensive processed food that Americans stuff themselves with. Indirectly, can obesity and diabetes somehow be connected with the tractor and the rise of mass-produced commodities in search of a mouth to feed? Or is this all a moot point, long after the horse left the barn? And are bigger farms necessarily always better? Some will claim that environmental bill has yet to be paid by large-scale agriculture. In our valley, some communities cannot drink water from their wells, as excess nitrates, often from agriculture, have polluted groundwater supplies. Ironically, the loss of people on the farm also meant a loss of voters supporting agricultural policy. We forget that tractors also displaced rural political clout. Politically, the farm vote really doesn’t count anymore.

In the last election, the failure of controversial Proposition 37 – about labeling GMOs (generically modified organisms) – was defeated by the urban vote. More and more, policy decisions for agriculture are determined by “city folks.” It’s not about politics, it’s geography. I have a number of tractors on our farm. They don’t require daily feeding and can work for hours and hours, pulling with ease heavy equipment through my fields. Daily, my body thanks the arrival of tractors. But they aren’t alive, and I find little comfort in their cold metal and the smell of diesel. So when I look at the horse tack hanging in my old barn, I also see more than the rise of tractor power. I can’t help but see the consequences that innovation brings. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.

Soybean outlook rises after USDA downgrades crop CHICAGO —Goldman Sachs Group Inc. raised its outlook for U.S. soybean prices in the next three and six months after a government report yesterday showed U.S. production will be reduced due to dry weather. Soybeans may be $12.50 a bushel in three months and $11.50 in six months, below current price levels while above the bank’s previous outlook of $10.50 a bushel, Goldman analysts including Damien Courvalin wrote in an e-mailed report today. The U.S. Department of Agriculture lowered its forecast for the U.S. harvest to 3.149 billion bushels yesterday, its second cut in as many months and 3.3 percent less than expected in August. “Uncertainty over the size of the U.S. corn and especially soybean crops remain unusually high for this time of year given the volatility and extremes in planting and growing weather across the Midwest,” Courvalin wrote. The USDA may lower its outlook for U.S. yields again in its October report, he said. Soybeans for November delivery rallied 2.8 percent Thursday on the Chicago Board of Trade, before falling as much as 0.7 percent Friday to $13.8675 a bushel. The most-active contract has jumped 20 percent since reaching a 19-month low in August as heat and dry weather intensified in U.S. growing areas.

Purdue sees lower grain prices ahead BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcnews.net

AUBURN — After three years of record income, U.S. farmers can expect more moderate profits in 2014, a Purdue expert said Friday. Corinne Alexander. an agricultural economist, spoke to local farmers by Internet from the Purdue campus. A half-dozen farmers attended at the Extension office in downtown Auburn. Lower grain prices will be a leading cause of reduced farm income, Alexander said. After a drought pushed corn prices to $6.90 per bushel last year, Purdue is predicting a range of $4.40 to $5.20 per bushel for this year’s crop — the lowest prices since 2009-2010. “We have to rebuild usage, stimulate the users to use a lot more corn, because there’s a lot more corn available,” Alexander said. However, she said, “There’s still a lot of question marks” about the corn crop. It looked “fantastic” in early August, but hot, dry weather has set

in since then. Farmers at the seminar agreed that lack of rain has hurt the quality of crops — especially soybeans. One said his fields have not felt a good rain since the first week of July. This week’s rain came too late to be of much benefit, the farmers added. Alexander’s advice said farmers could expect to gain 45 cents per bushel by storing their corn crop for sale next July. “As I go around the state of Indiana, I see a lot of new grain bins that can be filled … to capture those storage returns,” she said. Purdue is forecasting an average soybean yield of 41.2 bushels per acre, which is being revised downward because major soybeangrowing areas are experiencing drought. U.S. soybean production is forecast at 3.15 billion bushels, the fourth-largest crop on record, up from 3 billion last year. Purdue is predicting a soybean price of $12.50 per bushel, equal to two years

ago, but down from $14.40 last year. However, the price still could reach the $13.50 to $14 range. “The hot, dry weather this August really pushed soybean prices higher,” Alexander said. She advised selling soybeans before or at harvest, or storing only 30-120 days, to avoid falling prices due to a large South American crop. She said Brazil could surpass U.S. soybean production for the first time in 2014. Alexander said the cost of planting grain should be lower next year. She predicted it will cost $422 per acre to plant corn, down 9 percent, chiefly because fertilizer prices will drop by 22 percent. The forecast predicts $225 per acre to plant soybeans, down from $239 last year. After three years with very high feed costs, it will be time for livestock producers to take advantage of lower feed prices, Alexander said. All categories of livestock production are expected to increase except beef, which

is being hampered by drought in the west. “The current size of the U.S. cattle herd is back to a level we have not seen since 1952,” Alexander said. Purdue is expecting hog prices to stay profitable, possibly declining to break-even by late 2014. The soaring price of average Indiana farm land set a record at nearly $7,500 per acre this year, Alexander reported. It has risen from $4,240 in 2008 and $5,488 in 2011. With lower crop prices, Purdue expects values to start leveling or declining. “In general, I hear a lot of people pessimistic about farmland values,” she said. Average Indiana land rental also set a new record of $229 per acre this year. Alexander said she expects little change for 2014, but an adjustment to new realities in 2015-2016. One farmer at the session said he regularly attends the annual Purdue outlook meetings, “and they have been pretty close to being right.”

High Risk Factors on Farms The following factors may increase risk of injuryor illness for farm workers: • Age – Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and adults over 65. • Equipment and Machinery – Most farm accidents and fatalities involve machinery. Proper machine guarding and doing equipment maintenance according to manufacturers’ recommendations can help prevent accidents. • Protective Equipment – Using protective equipment, such as seat belts on tractors, and personal protective equipment (such as safety gloves, coveralls, boots, hats,

aprons, goggles, face shields) could signiﬁcantly reduce farming injuries. • Medical Care – Hospitals and emergency medical care are typically not readily accessible in rural areas near farms.

How You Can Improve Farm Safety You can start by increasing your awareness of farm-

Get back to the basics with Father God BY TRACEY ZIMMERMAN

Proverbs 5:3-6 (The Message) Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; donâ€™t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GODâ€™s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; heâ€™s the one who will keep you on track. Donâ€™t assume that you know it all. I have decided to go back to school for a Biblical Studies degree. I am now trying to juggle being a mom, being a wife, being a friend, being a pastor, and on with school. When I printed off the syllabus for classes, I just about panicked. There is a packet for each week with readings, quizzes, papers and more. It was overwhelming. Altogether the five weeks of packets

Youth Blogs â€˘

for this first class total around 50 sheets of papers with instructions and rules. To say that I was and am overwhelmed is an understatement. I have to take each day one at a time. I also have to trust in God. I felt like God was calling me to do these classes. I prayed for a long time before I took the plunge and jumped in. I asked for God to make it clear and everything fell into place for me to go after this degree. So, if I am going to pray, if I am going to give it to God, if I am going to trust him from the bottom of my heart, I have to trust that he is going to give me the strength.

I am at the beginning of a 20-month journey. That sounds like so long BUT if I take each chunk as it comes, if I listen for Godâ€™s guidance, if every week I turn to God to help keep me on track â€Ś I will succeed. Too many times we get stuck in that overwhelmed mode and forget that nothing is impossible with God. I know I have so much to learn on this journey but I know that I am not walking the road alone. What are you trying to tackle on your own? What are you doing that you have not asked God to be a part of? Letâ€™s take time to trust in our God the Alpha and the Omega, the great I am, the great creator. Letâ€™s take time to give God to figure it out and provide a

Chip, seal work set

Council studies water issues

FROM STAFF REPORTS

ASHLEY â€” The Indiana Department of Transportation will conduct chip and seal work on C.R. 800S, also known as S.R. 4, starting Monday. The work will take place between S.R. 327 and the town of Ashley, weather permitting, an INDOT news release said. During the operation traffic will be reduced to one lane, controlled by flaggers. Crews will be present during daytime hours, and a reduced speed limit of 45 mph will be in effect. The project is dependent on dry weather and may be delayed if conditions arenâ€™t adequate. The chip seal process consists of distributing a liquid asphalt emulsion on the roadway and covering it with crushed stone to provide a new wearing surface. Once the asphalt has cured, any excess chips left on the roadway are swept from the surface, the news release said. Drivers should exercise caution in this area during the project. Loose stone will be present on the roadway during the initial cure of the asphalt and can damage windshields and paint on vehicles that may be following each other too closely, the news release said. It is recommended when traveling on a recently chip sealed road that drivers slow down and allow additional space between vehicles. Chip sealing extends the life of a roadway by protecting it from moisture, ultraviolet degradation and any other damaging exposures. In addition to sealing the pavement, chip seal applications re-establish surface friction â€“ improving safety for the motoring public, the news release said. Of the pavement preservation methods employed by the state, chip sealing is perhaps the most cost effective, the news release said. Studies show that every $1 invested in chip seal operations saves $6 to $14 in future roadway costs.

Impact students paint hot rod BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.net

KENDALLVILLE â€” â€œIâ€™m thrilled. They did a beautiful job.â€? Mike Cearbaugh of Orland couldnâ€™t stop smiling while looking over his canary yellow 1930 Ford Model A hot rod parked in the Impact Institute Auto Body and Repair Shop on East Dowling Street this week. He brought it back to show it again to the Impact Instituteâ€™s Auto Body and Repair program students, who worked on it last year, and the new students in the course. He wanted to thank everyone again. Instructor Jose Gallo praised his students for their prep work and paint job on the historic car. â€œThey worked very hard on this. Some came in on Saturdays. Iâ€™m proud of them,â€? Gallo said. Cearbaugh, who describes himself as a car buff, acquired the Model A in 1991 and worked on restoring it with his neighbor, Al Henderson

The car has red painted flames coming out of the engine compartment. Impact Institute, formerly called Four County Area Vocational Cooperative with central offices in Kendallville, serves students from 12 school districts in northeastern Indiana. It offers 15 specialized vocational education programs at satellite locations separate from school facilities. High school juniors and seniors accepted into the programs spend half of each school day attending classes at their respective schools and half the day in Impact Institute programs.

ANGOLA â€” The Angola Common Council will look at water at Mondayâ€™s meeting from a rate and floodplain standpoint. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 210 N. Public Square. The council will hear a report from John Julien with the consulting firm Umbaugh and Associates on storm water rates and charges. The council will also be asked to amend a city ordinance on sewer and water rates, delinquencies and shutoffs. The amendments would provide for a waiver of delinquent charges if: â€˘ the customer is governmental or educational facility related; â€˘ there is a delay following a customerâ€™s death or delay in payment from an estate; â€˘ the customerâ€™s history at the same address hasnâ€™t been delinquent in 12 months. In addition, if a bill isnâ€™t paid within 15 days of a disconnect notice, service will be discontinued. Any customer disputing a disconnect notice may request a hearing within 10 days. An ordinance to amend the cityâ€™s flood hazard prevention plan will also be tackled. The city is required to have the plan for mandatory flood insurance purchase. The plan contains reconstruction, construction and subdivision specifications. In a letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a floodplain insurance study and insurance rate map map for the city are completed. Both will become effective Dec. 17. While no significant changes were made to Steuben Countyâ€™s flood insurance rate map, the city has until Dec. 17 to comply with mandatory program requirements to avoid suspension from the national flood insurance program. In other business, the council will: â€˘ hear a report on way finding and gateway signage; â€˘ conduct a public hearing on the southwest annexation of an area at Interstate 69 and U.S. 20 into the city. Oklahoma-based Loveâ€™s Travel Stops and Country Store is building a location at the site that will also include a Hardeeâ€™s restaurant. The final reading on the ordinance will be Oct. 21.

A spokesman for Fort Wayne-South Bend Bishop Kevin Rhoades said he was injured in a fall Sunday while he was on his way to Washington, D.C., for meetings with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Indiana Tech enrollment rises FORT WAYNE — The total number of students taking classes this fall at Indiana Tech jumped more than 16 percent from last year, according to school enrollment figures.

SCEDC: Prospects promising for vacant buildings FROM PAGE A1

County,” Koenig said. There are many difficult aspects when getting shovel-ready designations, which helps to have these tasks out of the way before a prospect comes knocking on the community’s door, Koenig said. Progress is being seen toward filling vacant industrial space, Koenig said. There have been a few buildings filled or work has started to make them marketable.

The year started with a 33 percent industrial vacancy rate in Fremont. Angola had a 7 percent rate and over all, the county had 13.6 vacancy rate. “Lastly, regarding the vacant buildings, we have had several promising visits, some lost opportunities due to more suitable buildings elsewhere and currently have a couple ongoing conversations,” Koenig said, “not huge employers but good companies with good jobs.”

With the activity observed so far in 2013 and the work being done with prospects, Koenig has high hopes for the remainder of this year and for 2014. “I guess you could say that the Steuben County EDC outlook is ‘optimistic’ to ‘very optimistic’ for continued, modest growth for the balance of the year and start of 2014,” Koenig said. “I would also observe that we are positioning ourselves for long-term growth.”

TALKS: Kerry stresses need for ‘negotiated solution’ FROM PAGE A1

In Geneva, meanwhile, Kerry and Lavrov have disclosed little since their meetings began Thursday with Kerry’s dismissal of Assad’s offer to begin by turning over information, not weapons, starting weeks from now after signing an international convention. A U.S. official said the talks were at a “pivotal point” and would continue today. Some progress has been made on how to account for Syria’s chemical weapons inventory, the official said, adding that the U.S. and Russia also had narrowed their differences over what each country believes to be the size of the Syrian stockpiles. Kerry and Lavrov also met with U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi about the potential for a new peace conference in the Swiss city. Kerry said he,

Lavrov and Brahimi agreed to meet around Sept. 28 on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly meetings in New York. “We are committed to try to work together, beginning with this initiative on the chemical weapons, in hopes that those efforts could pay off and bring peace and stability to a war-torn part of the world,” he said. Kerry, flanked by Lavrov and Brahimi, told reporters after an hour-long meeting that the chances for a second peace conference in Geneva will require success first with the chemical weapons talks, which he said had been “constructive” so far. “I will say on behalf of the United States that President Obama is deeply committed to a negotiated solution with respect to Syria, and we know that Russia is likewise. We are working hard to find the

common ground to be able to make that happen,” Kerry said. Brahimi acknowledged the high stakes Friday. He told Kerry and Lavrov that their chemical weapons negotiation “is extremely important in itself and for itself, but it is also extremely important for us who are working with you on trying to bring together the Geneva conference successfully.” Kerry was traveling to Jerusalem Sunday to discuss the situation in Syria with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He then planned to travel to Paris on Monday to meet with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and British Foreign Secretary William Hague about the Syrian war. He will meet separately with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal.

Taliban attacks U.S. consulate KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban attacked a U.S. Consulate in western Afghanistan with car bombs and guns on Friday, killing at least four Afghans but failing to enter the compound or hurt any Americans. The attack in the city of Herat underscored concerns about an insurgency that shows no signs of letting up as U.S.-led troops reduce their presence ahead of a full withdrawal next year. Within hours of the assault, the U.S. temporarily evacuated many of its consular personnel to the embassy in Kabul, 650 kilometers (400 miles) to the east. Herat lies near Afghanistan’s border with Iran and is considered one of the safer cities in the country, with a strong Iranian influence. Friday’s attack highlighted the Taliban’s reach: The militants once

concentrated their activities in the east and the south, but in recent years have demonstrated an ability to strike with more frequency in the once-peaceful north and west. In a phone call, Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi took responsibility for the assault. An interpreter and three members of the Afghan security forces were killed, said U.S. State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf. Seven militants, including two drivers of explosives-laden vehicles, also died, according to Gen. Rahmatullah Safi, Herat province’s chief of police. At least 17 people were wounded, said Herat hospital official Sayednaim Alemi. The attack began about 6 a.m. when militants in an SUV and a van set off their explosives while others

on foot fired on Afghan security forces guarding the Consulate, Safi said. He said the militants were not able to breach the compound, where Americans live and work. Harf said the attackers fired rocket propelled grenades and that the compound’s front gate was extensively damaged in one of the bombings. Footage broadcast on Afghanistan’s Tolo television network showed Afghan police dragging away a badly bloodied man from the scene. Rubble and twisted pieces of metal lay strewn in a seemingly wide area near the consulate. American security personnel were among those responding to the attack, Harf said. Robert Hilton, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, said “all consulate personnel are safe and accounted for.”

Hornets blanked BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — Angola provided some resistance against Lakeland in a key early season Northeast Corner Conference football matchup Friday. But the Lakers stayed undefeated by winning their homecoming game 31-0. “That team is not a bad team,” Lakeland coach Keith Thompson said of the Hornets. “They made it a little tougher than it had been. But we played hard and made enough plays. “I thought our defense played very, very, very well. We kept it simple and stayed with our option responsibilities,” he added. “Coach (Jason) Schackow got our

defense ready to go. Wyatt (Petty) and Evan (Garretson) had really good games.” Lakeland (4-0, 4-0 NECC) held Angola to just 31 yards of total offense and had five quarterback sacks. The Hornets (2-2, 2-1) lost four of their six fumbles and were not decisive enough in their option game against an attacking Laker defense. The senior ends Petty and Garretson were in the Angola backfield for a large majority of the night. “Their blocking scheme was washing our ends down. Our ends figured it out pretty quick,” Thompson said. Lakeland methodically moved the ball 61 yards on 12 plays

on the first drive of the game to score. It was capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass from William Kelly to Hunter Sams 7 minutes, 4 seconds into the contest. Marco Olivares kicked the extra point to put the Lakers up 7-0. The Hornets responded with a nice drive after another Olivares touchback, moving the ball from their 20-yard line to the Lakers’ 29. A trick play on the first play got Angola going with an 18-yard halfback pass from Austin Bauer to Jake Roddy. But Lakeland made the big play to stop the drive. Garretson blew up a Hornet option play to stop quarterback Trevor Lynch for a loss on fourth down. SEE HORNETS, PAGE B2

ALBION—The Central Noble Cougars ran into a brick wall against a stingy Prairie Heights defense as the Panthers improved to 2-2 overall, taking down their Northeast Corner Conference foe 28-0 Friday night. Senior cornerback Corey Johnson had two interceptions for PH and senior linebacker Zach Shepard added a sack. “Our defensive play and installation of multiple fronts and multiple coverages (we had) last year, we’re seeing that happen this year,” Prairie Heights head coach Vincent Royer said. The fruits of his team’s labor paid off in full Friday, limiting what the Cougar offense could accomplish, despite losses on his team. “This week we had three defensive starters out,” Royer said. “Our younger guys, our sophomores are on their way and they are blooming. We’re very excited about that. We’re trying to

develop not only the individual, but the team. It’s something that is now happening and we’re very pleased about that,” he added. The first quarter saw the Panthers’ offense start the game correctly by scoring 14 points. Both touchdowns came from turnovers created by Johnson. Shepard played double duty on offense and defense. He ran the ball early in the first quarter by taking his team down to the Cougars’ 19-yard line. From there, senior running back Bobby Blum took a pitch and ran it into the end zone with 4 minutes, 31 seconds to play in the first quarter to put Prairie Heights up 6-0. Blum would find the end zone again in the fourth quarter, only this time taking no prisoners as he juked out would-be tacklers at the line of scrimmage and scored from 62 yards out. He finished the night with 84 yards on the ground on 15 carries while also hauling in two catches worth 51 yards from senior quarterback Kyler West. SEE PANTHERS, PAGE B2

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2013

Fielder homers, Tigers beat Royals DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander has spent all season trying to recapture the form that made him perhaps the best pitcher in baseball in 2011 and 2012. Now, with another postseason berth in sight, the Detroit right-hander hopes he’s finally turning a corner. “It seems like the whole year has been tinkering,” Verlander said. “I feel like the last three starts, I’ve found what I really need to be working on and focusing on.” Verlander pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Prince Fielder homered and drove in three runs to lift the Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. Detroit remained six games ahead of second-place Cleveland in the AL Central and dealt the third-place Royals a setback in the postseason race. Kansas City is one of several teams hoping at least to catch Tampa Bay for a wild card. Verlander (13-11) allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. Three relievers finished. Joaquin Benoit worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and got the final four outs for his 19th save in 19 chances. Bruce Chen (7-3) allowed five earned runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. “They had a really good plan going in. They were hacking early,” Chen said. “They prepared themselves really well.” The Royals, who are trying to make the playoffs for the first time since winning the World Series in 1985, fell 3½ games behind the Rays after this series against the leaders in Kansas City’s division did not start well. Kansas City fell behind 6-1 in the fifth, and although the Royals rallied, Detroit’s bullpen was able to hold on. With the score 6-3, Detroit’s Drew Smyly issued a one-out walk to Eric

Hosmer in the eighth, then Jose Veras came on and walked Billy Butler on four pitches. After taking ball one, Salvador Perez popped out, but Veras hit Mike Moustakas to load the bases. On came Benoit, who has been excellent since becoming Detroit’s full-time closer. He struck out David Lough to end the threat. Kansas City left fielder Alex Gordon overran Austin Jackson’s leadoff double in the Detroit first for an error, allowing Jackson to advance to third. He scored on Torii Hunter’s groundout to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Kansas City tied it in the fourth on an RBI single by Perez, but Fielder’s flyball in the bottom of the inning barely cleared the wall in the right-field corner for a two-run shot. It was his 24th homer of the year. Like Verlander, Fielder has had his struggles this season, but he now has 102 RBIs, the sixth time in seven years he’s reached 100. “If I’m healthy and can play every day, that’s what I’m really focused on,” Fielder said. “When you’re out there every day, you’ve got a chance to do all those things.” The tiebreaking home run came after banged-up slugger Miguel Cabrera led off with a double to right-center that Lough just missed making a sliding catch on. It was Cabrera’s first extra-base hit since Aug. 26. Detroit added three runs in the fifth. Hunter hit a two-run single, and after an intentional walk to Cabrera, Hunter caught the Royals napping and broke for third. Chen was called for a balk, giving Hunter third and Cabrera second, and Fielder’s RBI single made it 6-1. Verlander has pitched well in 2013, just not up to the terrific standard he set the previous two years. The Tigers are hoping the right-hander will find

a groove late this season, and he was breezing along until the Royals rallied with a couple runs in the sixth. Butler’s RBI single made it 6-2, and Perez drove in Butler with a double. But Verlander was happy overall after striking out seven without a walk. “I feel like I’m pretty doggone close,” said Verlander, whose ERA is at 3.66. “I think my stuff’s been a lot better. Tonight I made a little bit of an adjustment with my grip on my curveball and that seemed to be working really well for me.” CUBS 5, PIRATES 4 Anthony Rizzo hit a towering go-ahead, two-run homer off Jason Grilli in the seventh inning and the Chicago Cubs rallied past Pittsburgh. Brian Bogusevic went 3 for 4 with his fifth homer of the season for Chicago. Dioneer Navarro added two hits as the Cubs ended Pittsburgh’s four-game winning streak. Carlos Villanueva (6-8) picked up the win in relief. Kevin Gregg worked the ninth for his 32nd save. Pedro Alvarez, Russell Martin and Garrett Jones hit consecutive solo home runs in the fourth for Pittsburgh. Andrew McCutchen went 2 for 4, but the Pirates lost for just the fourth time in 65 games when leading after six innings this season after Grilli (0-2) faltered. INDIANS 3, WHITE SOX 1 Danny Salazar struck out nine in 3 2-3 innings, Ryan Raburn hit an RBI double and Cleveland beat Chicago for the 10th time in a row this season. Salazar’s pitch count was limited to 85, and after allowing Dayan Viciedo’s single with two outs on his 78th pitch, he was replaced by Nick Hagadone with runners on first and third. Bryan Shaw (4-3) threw two scoreless innings for the win. Hector Santiago (4-9) remained winless since Aug. 18 for Chicago, going four-plus innings.

four minutes by themselves and then they’re back out. “It’s all business, which they’re not used to. Now they’re starting to get used to it and we saw it in the second half.” Royer was proud of his leaders. “In the second half, we allowed more of our younger guys to get reps and the older guys are peer teaching. That’s something that you don’t find a lot of in high school football. Our defensive lineman Ryder Moore and linebacker Dylan Stayner not

only had to teach the younger guys, but keep them under control and knowing their role and doing their job.” Royer hopes to see his starters back from injury for next week’s non-conference home game with Woodlan. He was very gracious not just to his team’s performance, but also of the warm reception he has received thus far while being the Panthers’ head coach. “This community has really welcomed me in and I’m thankful for it,” Royer said.

The Raiders (1-3) answered by scoring on a quarterback sneak to make it a one-point game. Southern Wells went for the win on the road by going for two points and Fremont stopped the visitors’ run play to end a turnover-ridden game. Baker made the initial hit and his teammates finished the tackle. Nate Beatty scored two touchdowns in the final seven minutes of regulation to put the Eagles up 20-14. The second score came on a big play with about 3 1/2 minutes left to break a 14-14 tie, but Pelham’s extra-point try hit a post and was no good. The Raiders answered after a big kickoff return and scored on a touchdown pass with a little over a minute to go. But Eagle Logan Peel blocked the extra-point attempt to keep the game tied at 20. Both teams did not score in the first overtime. The Raiders had the ball first and FHS kept them out of the end zone on four plays. The Eagles fumbled the ball away with on their possession. Southern Wells scored the first touchdown of the game. Baker caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Kaleb Hayes in the first quarter to help tie the game for the Eagles. Beatty had around 270 yards rushing and receiving combined for Fremont. The senior Hayes had a career-best game by passing for over 200 yards.

Tannehill hopes to even series with Luck INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Tannehill admires everything Andrew Luck can do on a football field. He’s seen the big arm, the surprising athleticism, even the stunning strength as he followed Luck’s career through high school, college and the NFL. Now, with the two Texas prep stars about to meet for the second time in the NFL, the Dolphins quarterback is eager to show everyone how much progress he’s made. And that he deserves to be mentioned with the top stars from the 2012 quarterback draft class. “Last year in training camp I was battling for the starting position, so I really got to use training camp this year to really grow, and grow in the offense,” he said. “We are excited about what we can do this year.” And why not? A year ago, Tannehill was the No. 8 pick, going behind Luck and Robert Griffin III and ahead of Russell Wilson. Despite being upstaged by all three, Tannehill still managed to break Miami’s rookie records for completions, attempts and yards — records previously held by David Woodley, Bob Griese and Dan Marino. The knock was he threw 12 TD passes and 13 interceptions and won seven games, failing to reach the playoffs like Luck, Griffin and Wilson. Things might be changing. A year after losing 23-20 to Luck and the Colts (1-0), Miami (1-0) returns to Indy with a new cast and coming off a 23-10 win over Cleveland. Luck isn’t surprised by Tannehill’s progress. “I’ve always been impressed

with him as a football player,” the Colts quarterback said. “To get to know him as a person was great, he’s a phenomenal guy.” Here are five things to watch Sunday: MIRROR, MIRROR: No teams spent more money in free agency than Indianapolis and Miami, and no two teams went about it quite the same way. Indy tried to reinforce its offensive line, added a high-profile receiver, a power runner and revamped its defense. The Dolphins did essentially the same thing, though they spent more money on WR Mike Wallace than any other offensive spot. Sunday’s game gives the

two big spenders a chance to see which team got the better bargain. PROTECTION CONNECTION: Colts owner Jim Irsay used Twitter to “demand” the Colts protect the franchise quarterback better after giving up four sacks last week. It could have been worse. Somehow, Luck escaped another seemingly certain sack, and took a couple of other big shots during the game. Irsay expects to see far fewer hits this week. In Miami, the complaints haven’t been the same after Tannehill was sacked four times, but both teams expect better performances in Indy.

UNHAPPY CAMPERS: Apparently, winning doesn’t cure all ills. Miami’s Randy Starks, unhappy with stalled contract negotiations and the fact he didn’t start last week, made his displeasure known with an obscene gesture during last week’s victory. Wallace, who signed a $60 million deal, was angry after catching one pass. If the Dolphins can put these issues behind them, it could go a long way in determining how competitive they will be against the Colts — and perhaps the rest of the season. THE SWITCHEROO: Vontae Davis’ trade from Miami to Indianapolis was profiled on last year’s “Hard Knocks.” He gets a second shot at his former team, and the Dolphins may not recognize Davis. Since December 2012, the former first-round draft pick has improved steadily. He won’t be the only player with something to prove Sunday. Former Colts linebacker Phillip Wheeler goes against his former team, and three ex-Dolphins — center Samson Satele, right guard Donald Thomas and linebacker Erik Walden — will start for Indy. HOME, SWEET HOME: When the Colts hired coach Chuck Pagano, he promised to make Lucas Oil Stadium a tough venue. Indy is just one play away — an improbable last-minute, 80-yard TD pass from Jacksonville — from having a perfect home mark under Pagano’s tenure. The Colts have won seven straight at home, while Miami is 3-6 on the road under second-year coach Joe Philbin.

SPORTS BRIEFS • NASCAR adds Gordon to Chase field amid controversy JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — NASCAR added Jeff Gordon to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field Friday, a stunning and unprecedented step in the fallout from at least two attempts to manipulate the results of the regular season-ending race at Richmond last weekend. Chairman Brian France expanded the field to 13 drivers for the first time since the format was implemented in 2004. Front Row Motorsports appeared to ask for a deal from Penske Racing in the closing laps at Richmond as part of an apparent request from Penske to give Joey Logano pivotal track position he needed to earn a spot in the Chase. Logano passed Front Row driver David Gilliland, who then seemed to slow down by at least 1 mph, according to an Associated Press review of radio communications and data. France said NASCAR could not determine there was a bargain between Front Row and Penske, but still believed the move was necessary to protect the “integrity” of the series. He said both teams had been placed on probation for the rest of the season. Gordon, the four-time champion, now joins Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson, the five-time champion, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne in the Chase. Gordon goes into the Chase as the 13th seed, 15 points behind leader Matt Kenseth when the 10-race series begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. NASCAR will hold a mandatory team and driver meeting Saturday to clarify “the rules of the road” moving forward. France would not specify what won’t be tolerated going forward. The entire mess began a mere seven laps from the finish Saturday night with Newman en route to a victory that would have given him the final spot in the Chase. MWR driver Clint Bowyer spun, bringing out a caution and setting in motion a chain of events that cost Newman the win and a Chase berth. It also cost Gordon a Chase berth and put Truex and Logano into the final two spots. It later became clear that Bowyer’s spin was deliberate — although NASCAR has said it can’t prove that — and that Bowyer and teammate Brian Vickers allowed Logano to gain late finishing positions to bump Gordon out of the Chase to aid Truex. Among the penalties levied against MWR was a $300,000 fine and the indefinite suspension of general manager Ty Norris. Bowyer, Truex and Brian Vickers were docked 50 points each, and their crew chiefs were placed on probation through the end of the year. Bowyer has denied the spin was deliberate. NASCAR could only prove one action — radio communication between Norris and Vickers in which a confused Vickers was told to pit as the field went green with three laps to go.

Appeals court upholds slugger Bonds’ conviction SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court in San Francisco on Friday upheld former Giants slugger Barry Bond’s obstruction of justice conviction stemming from his 2003 testimony to a grand jury investigating performance enhancing drug use among elite athletes. The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Bonds’ response to a question about whether his trainer, Greg Anderson, had ever given him any self-injectable substances was “evasive, misleading, and capable of influencing the grand jury to minimize the trainer’s role in the distribution of performance enhancing drugs.” Bonds gave the testimony before a grand jury in December 2003 after prosecutors asked him whether Anderson had ever given him “anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with?” Bonds referred to his father, former major leaguer Bobby Bonds, when he responded “that’s what keeps our friendship. You know, I am sorry, but that — you know, that — I was a celebrity child, not just in baseball by my own instincts. I became a celebrity child with a famous father. I just don’t get into other people’s business because of my father’s situation, you see ...” A federal jury in April 2011 found baseball’s all-time home runs leader guilty of obstruction as a result of that response. That particular exchange wasn’t included in the indictment originally released in November 2007. During oral arguments before the appeals court, Bonds’ attorney argued that that omission was a “dagger in the heart” of Bonds’ conviction. The attorney, Dennis Riordan, also said that Bonds ultimately answered the question when it was put to him again and he denied receiving any substance to inject. Assistant U.S. Attorney Merry Jean Chan countered that the denial was a lie because Bonds’ former personal assistant, Cathy Hoskins, testified that she witnessed Anderson inject Bonds. Chan said Bonds’ denial and his other rambling answers to the same question throughout his grand jury appearance added up to obstruction. Bonds is now facing 30-days’ home confinement as well as two years of probation, 250 hours of community service and a $4,000 fine.

Road to Damascus Some things you just have to do, in spite of great uncertainty. Launching missiles at Syria isn’t one of them. Many pundits talk about going to war as if all we have to do is make up our minds about what “ought” to happen — who the bad guys are — and the rest is just details. If we decide we must punish a tyrant, let the military worry about how to get it done. We ought to worry more about details. Everyone agrees there are huge “known unknowns” in Syria — we barely know the composition of the rebel movement we’re supposed to aid — we should be more JOHN but concerned about “unknown to borrow STOSSEL unknowns,” former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s phrase. Remember the confidence with which he and other Bush administration officials described their plans to remake Iraq? Dick Cheney said, “We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” The Wall Street Journal beat the drums for war for a year. I read that Iraq was full of repressed democratic activists just waiting for Saddam to be overthrown. Pundits also argued that once the authoritarian ruler was gone, Iraq would blossom into a showcase of peace and democracy that would inspire transformation throughout the region. I wanted to believe it. Once they had a choice, why wouldn’t they pursue our way of life? It’s clearly better! Instead, we’ve spent more than a decade fighting feuding factions that most Americans have never heard of — and still can’t name. When pro-war pundits did admit to uncertainty about what would happen in Iraq, it was often to stoke fear about what would happen if we didn’t intervene. Saddam might use chemical weapons! Saddam might get nukes! Well, maybe. I’m glad Saddam is gone, and Iraqis are better off. But the masses yearning to breathe free turned out to include more troublemakers than we expected. I don’t trust John Kerry, but I’ll accept his claim that Syria’s leaders probably used chemical weapons to kill 1,400 people. Horrible. But are we going to enforce a “red line” to tell dictators that if they murder their people, they better use conventional weapons? Even if that’s the goal, our options are limited. Maybe we’ll: • lob a few cruise missiles, like Bill Clinton did in Sudan. • hit Assad’s compound, killing hundreds of innocents, without killing Assad. • kill Assad himself and then … what? President Obama argues that limited intervention in Syria might accomplish good more quickly and cheaply than our efforts in Iraq did. He said he wants a two-day engagement instead of months of fighting. But we thought that would happen in Iraq, too. We didn’t foresee years of civil war. What do we fail to foresee now? More intervention from Russia? China? Iran? World war? Even if the conflict remains localized and contained — a dangerous assumption in the “fog of war” — we can’t assume that a new government will be more democratic or tolerant than Assad’s regime. We already know that the rebel forces include factions allied with al-Qaida. Some of those people execute Christians and want to replace Assad’s repressive but multi-faith regime with Islamic totalitarianism. If they murder Christians while still fighting Assad, what will they do once in power? Years ago, al-Qaida (and Osama bin Laden) gained power because America funded “rebels” fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. Given what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, there are worse things than leaving murderous Russian-backed governments in place. I hate Assad. I hate what’s happened in Syria. I also hate what happened in Rwanda and Darfur and what still happens in Somalia, China, Russia, Zimbabwe and so on. But there’s just not much we can do about it without making new enemies and exacerbating America’s coming bankruptcy. America cannot police the world and shouldn’t try. Defense should mean defense. Unless we are attacked, we shouldn’t go to war.

We all need to do a little purple for Mary We take our stories and our secrets to those we trust in our lives. Sometimes these folks are relatives or close friends or they are the folks we see on occasion. These folks greet us with a smile, tell us to have a seat and listen to our stories. Bartender. Barbershop owner. Hairdresser. Fortune teller. Horse groomer. Which one am I choosing? I have to say I have a secret love affair with my hairdresser, Mary Ramsey. Mary and I have had this affair for over 10 years. I walk into the shop, am greeted with her smile and we begin. I love visiting Mary. In one short hour we can cover all our news with nonstop talking. Not only is she my hairdresser, but Mary has starred in our theater Radio Shows. Before each show she brings along the girls from Finishing Touch to do hair and make-up to make sure we look star quality on stage. Once in a while I do worry that my hair will turn blue or she will take a whack at it with the scissors. I carry a picture of Susan Sarandon in my bag and always set it out so she can see our ultimate goal. The picture is a bit wrinkled, but nonetheless I always set it out. Mary laughs each time. This love relationship did not always exist in my life. The first time I ever visited the beauty shop (as we called it) I had cut my own hair. We were swimming every day when I was 11 and had to wear bathing caps. My long hair was jammed up inside the cap, so I cut a hole in the top to let my ponytail trail out. One day I thought I would be clever enough to cut my hair a little shorter, so I simply cut off the pony tail. It didn’t work out so well. My mom took me to the Beauty Shop, where I ended

up with a pixie hair cut. I am still a bit spontaneous about my hair. Once when I was teaching at Hamilton I asked Lynne Bercaw to cut my hair off during recess. We went down to the nurse’s room (where the scissors were really sharp) and she did cut off my hair. I let Jonah cut it once also when he was 3. What was I thinking on that one? The last time a nonhairdresser cut my hair was this summer after I LOU ANN broke my arm and couldn’t put it in a ponytail. I gave HOMAN- the scissors to Kristin, my daughter-in-law, and told SAYLOR her to cut off my hair. She actually did a good job. Mary often jokes with me when I take a seat in her chair. “So, who did you have cut your hair this time?” She does not forget a story. After my accident in China, Mary came to my house twice and set up shop in my kitchen. Does it get any better than that? Usually she works and we laugh out loud, and sometimes we whisper. Time flies. By the time I leave I have forgotten I actually came in because of hair. I think Mary and I could while away any summer afternoon even without scissors in her hand. But now, after all her kindness to everyone who meets her, Mary needs us. Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer in August and is preparing for surgery and for what else may follow in the months ahead.

•

But now, after all her kindness to everyone who meets her, Mary needs us.

• It is our time to take care of Mary. I know the usual color for breast cancer awareness is pink, but our Mary has purple hair. She just doesn’t do pink. So, ladies and gentlemen, the campaign is just beginning. We are going purple for Mary. You don’t have to color all your hair, unless you want to, but just a piece here and there. I am calling this Fifty Shades of Purple. The girls at Finishing Touch (or other salons) are ready for you to add this lovely color to your hair. My purple streak is underneath and is plainly visible when I pull my hair back. Every day I think of Mary when I see this purple. Sometimes it just feels really good to do something for someone. Mary is not just someone. She is a wonderful friend to many. So, let’s go purple! One more thing … do I or don’t I? I have to say that only my hairdresser knows, and Mary isn’t about to tell. LOU ANN HOMAN-SAYLOR lives in Angola at the White Picket Gardens where you can find her gardening or writing late into the night under the light of her frayed scarlet lamp. She is a storyteller, teacher, writer, actress and a collector of front porch stories.

Talking ourselves out of going to war WASHINGTON — Rarely, if ever, has so much talk preceded a proposed military strike. Most administrations contemplating military action worry about an exit strategy. The Obama administration seems to be in search of an entrance strategy. Or is it that we’re trying to talk ourselves out of this mess? As war goes, a war of words seems a better option. Less blood and death if, at times, more ennui and head-clutching frustration. In that vein, the past several weeks have provided an embarrassment of riches. Just this week, we’ve heard from the president and his many minions, surrogates and converts, including national security adviser Susan Rice, former Secretary of State and likely 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, current Secretary of State John Kerry, as well as White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who hit the Sunday news shows. Despite all best efforts, including President Obama’s speech Tuesday, public consensus for cruise missile strikes against Syria has not taken shape. The reason may be partly war weariness, but surely much of the problem lies in the odd formulations leading up to this non-war. With shock-and-awe barely in our rearview mirror, pre-war chitchat is not a modus operandi to which we are

accustomed. There is certainly merit to discussing military action carefully in advance of deployment, but such lengthy, often confusing, verbal perambulations as we’ve witnessed the past several weeks — stressing the urgency of taking action while repeatedly postponing KATHLEEN action pending fill-in-the-blank do create PARKER — fresh sets of problems. The debate of late has most closely resembled a busy mom’s calendaring challenge: Let’s see, we can’t vote to strike until after Labor Day vacation — and the president’s speech can’t be on Monday because the Redskins are playing and, no, not Wednesday either because 9/11 is too fraught. Meanwhile, we’ve all but sent engraved announcements to Bashar al-Assad giving the time and place of our proposed engagement. Repondez s’il vous plait. The sense created by so much clearing of throats has been that one is not quite certain of one’s intentions, and, therefore, one’s rationale for war. President Obama’s reticence is understandable but also disconcerting. Creating

•

and then moving a red line is inherently problematic and otherwise lacking in, shall we say, clarity. Another hitch, commensurate with the preceding, is a rising trust deficit among the American people, not to mention the world, followed by a lack of will. If war is not urgent, as this one seems not to be, then perhaps war is not necessary. Imagine, as a dead poet once crooned. Then there is this appealing thought: Once nations reach the point of talking a war to death, rather than fighting one to the death — a coalition of the unwilling — aren’t they participants in some sort of tipping point? We talk ourselves out of things all the time. Why not talk ourselves out of war? We pause to note yet again that we’re not really talking about war, which adds to the trust deficit. Despite assurances to the contrary, no one really believes that our engagement with Syria will consist of a few strategic, limited strikes, especially given Assad’s promise to retaliate. “Expect everything,” he told Charlie Rose in a recent interview. Trust us, the administration keeps saying. And America keeps shaking its head. No. The trust deficit is not a new problem and it certainly can’t be blamed entirely on Obama. Distrust of public institutions is part of a 50-year (at least) trend, exacerbated recently by revelations about our government

spying on its citizens. And, let’s be clear, if we once “kicked” Vietnam Syndrome, as President George H.W. Bush jubilantly declared after the first Gulf War, we have inherited Iraq Syndrome from his son. Can intelligence ever be trusted again when rationalizing military action against a sovereign nation? The war of words, tedious as it has sometimes seemed, may yet hold promise as Syria, prodded by Russia, seems to be responding positively to an apparently off-hand remark Kerry made during a news conference. With a dismissive shrug of perhaps premature resignation, Kerry casually suggested that the strike could be avoided if Assad merely turned over his chemical weapons to international control. The clamor for support from all quarters, including Moscow and Damascus, has been somewhat breathtaking. Was that all it took? Not to be naive or Pollyannish, but is it possible that the formulation of an idea required time to evolve? It is too soon to declare war avoided, but there is reason to hope. Who knows? Obama’s most significant legacy may not be Obamacare, but the talking cure as inoculation against war. KATHLEEN PARKER is a syndicated columnist with Tribune Media Services.

Briefs • Flight 666 goes to Helsinki on Friday the 13th HELSINKI (AP) — Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th? For superstitious travelers, that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki — which has the 3 letter designation HEL — didn’t seem too bothered. Friday’s flight was almost full. “It has been quite a joke among the pilots” said veteran Finnair pilot Juha-Pekka Keidasto, who flew the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen to Helsinki. “I’m not a superstitious man. It’s only a coincidence for me.” The daily flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki falls on Friday the 13th twice in 2013. Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in many countries and the number 666 also has strong negative biblical associations. Some airlines, like Scandinavian Airlines, take these fears seriously and don’t have a row 13 on board. However, the negative connotations are a relatively new phenomenon for northern Europeans, and Finnair and other regional carriers like Norwegian and Estonian Air keep row 13.

Four sentenced to death in India gang rape trial NEW DELHI (AP) — An Indian court Friday sentenced to death four men for the gang rape and murder of a young New Delhi woman, ordering them to the gallows for a brutal attack that riveted India, where it became a symbol of the widespread mistreatment of women and the government’s inability to deal with crime. Issuing his decision, Judge Yogesh Khanna said the attack “shocked the collective conscience” of India. “In these times, when crime against women is on the rise, the courts cannot turn a blind eye toward such gruesome crimes.” After the death sentence, the wail of one of the four men, 20-year-old Vinay Sharma, filled the tiny courtroom. Sharma, an assistant at a gym, then broke down in sobs. As Khanna walked from his bench, defense lawyer A.P. Singh, who has defended all four men at various times, began to shout at him: “This is not the victory of truth. But it is the defeat of justice.” Like all death sentences, Khanna’s order must be confirmed by India’s High Court.

People • Lohan’s mother charged with drunken driving FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Lindsay Lohan’s mother is facing an aggravated drunken driving charge in New York following a traffic stop on Long Island. State police say Dina Lohan, 50, was stopped on the Northern State Parkway Lohan in Nassau County at 11 p.m. Thursday after troopers clocked her driving a BMW at 77 mph in a 55-mph zone. She took a breath test that pegged her blood-alcohol level at 0.20 percent, police said. That’s more than twice New York’s legal limit of 0.08 percent. Lohan was brought to a state police barracks in Farmingdale, issued tickets for driving while intoxicated and speeding and then released to a “sober third party,” state police said in a news release. She is due in court Sept. 24.

Four dead from flooding in Colorado LYONS, Colo. (AP) — Coffee-colored floodwaters cascaded downstream from the Colorado Rockies on Friday, transforming normally scenic rivers and creeks into fast, unforgiving torrents and forcing thousands more evacuations from water-logged communities beset by days of steady rain. The relentless rush of water turned whole towns into muddy swamps and brought most transportation to a standstill. Damage assessments were on hold as authorities tried to rescue more than 2,500 people stranded in an emergency that stretched from Colorado Springs all the way to the Wyoming border. A break in the weather aided crews as they ferried a dozen residents at a time out of Lyons and other mountain towns that had been cut off by high water. The Colorado National Guard tweeted that it helped evacuate nearly 300 people from Lyons and on Friday added helicopter flights to the search-and-rescue efforts, spokeswoman

Cheresa Theiral said. Many roads remained impassable, and still more rain was expected later in the day. The overflowing St. Vrain River sliced the town of Longmont in half. All major roads were closed, and several thousand homes and businesses were without power. “This one’s going to bring us to our knees,” said Tom Simmons, president and co-owner of Crating Technologies, a packing service that had its warehouse inundated. “It’s hoping against hope. We’re out of business for a long time.” Most of those who were stranded were not in immediate danger. Many chose to stay behind with loved ones or to watch over their property. But some families had been without electricity or running water for two days. Others were low on fuel and medicine. At least four people have been killed. And the rains forced hundreds of people to seek emergency shelter up and down Colorado’s heavily populated Front Range, which has received

Retail sales show growth in August WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans boosted their spending at retail businesses only modestly in August, indicating that economic growth remains sluggish. Consumers bought more cars, furniture and electronics last month but held back on most other purchases.

July-September quarter, about the same as the previous quarter. That suggests economic growth is slowing to an annual rate of about 2 percent, down from the 2.5 percent annual rate that the government estimated for the April-June quarter. Most economists said the retail sales figures are likely healthy enough for the Federal Reserve to begin cutting back its monthly bond purchases when it meets next week. The Fed is buying $85 billion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities each month to keep interest rates low and spur more borrowing and spending. Sales of autos and furniture both jumped 0.9 percent in August. Electronics and appliance sales rose 0.8 percent. But clothing sales dropped 0.8 percent and sporting goods sales also fell. Last week automakers reported that their sales in August topped 16 million at an annual pace for the first time since November 2007, just before the recession began. Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Chrysler and General Motors all posted double-digit gains over last August. But many retailers have said in recent weeks that shoppers have been reluctant to spend freely for back-toschool shopping. According to a tally of 10 retail chains by the International Council of Shopping Centers, sales rose 3.6 percent last month. That’s down from a 6 percent gain for in August 2012.

Girl bullied for almost a year before suicide TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — For nearly a year, as many as 15 girls ganged up on 12-year-old Rebecca Ann Sedwick and picked on her, authorities say, bombarding her with online messages such as “You should die” and “Why don’t you go kill yourself.” Rebecca couldn’t take it anymore. She changed one of her online screen names to “That Dead Girl.” She messaged a boy in North Carolina: “I’m jumping.” And then, on Monday, the Lakeland girl went to an abandoned concrete plant, climbed a tower and hurled herself to her death. Authorities have seized computers and cellphones from some of the girls as they decide whether to bring charges in what appeared to be the nation’s latest deadly cyberbullying case. The bullying started over a “boyfriend issue” last

year at Crystal Lake Middle School, Sheriff Grady Judd said. But he gave no details. Police said Rebecca was suspended at one point for fighting with a girl who used to be her friend. Rebecca had been “absolutely terrorized” by the other girls, Judd said. He said detectives found some of her diaries at her home, and she talked of how depressed she was about the situation. “Her writings would break your heart,” he said. The case has illustrated, once more, the ways in which youngsters are using the Internet to torment others. “There is a lot of digital drama. Middle-school kids are horrible to each other, especially girls,” said Perry Aftab, a New Jersey-based lawyer and expert on cyberbullying. Last December, Rebecca was hospitalized for three

days after cutting her wrists because of what she said was bullying, according to the sheriff. Later, after Rebecca complained that she had been pushed in the hallway and that another girl wanted to fight her, Rebecca’s mother began home-schooling her in Lakeland, a city of about 100,000 midway between Tampa and Orlando, Judd said. This fall, Rebecca started at a new school, Lawton Chiles Middle Academy, and loved it, Judd said. But the bullying continued online. “She put on a perfect, happy face. She never told me,” Rebecca’s mother, Tricia Norman, told the Lakeland Ledger. “I never had a clue. I mean, she told me last year when she was being bullied, but not this year, and I have no idea why.” After Rebecca’s suicide, police looked at her computer and found search queries such as “what is

overweight for a 13-year-old girl,” ”how to get blades out of razors,” and “how many over-the-counter drugs do you take to die.” One of her screensavers also showed Rebecca with her head resting on a railroad track. Police said that she had met the North Carolina boy at an airport and that they had remained friends online. The 12-year-old boy didn’t tell anyone about the “I’m jumping, I can’t take it anymore” message he received from her on Monday morning, shortly before her suicide, authorities said. Detectives said the other girls’ parents have been cooperative. Florida has a bullying law, but it leaves punishment to schools, not police. Legal experts said it is difficult to bring charges against someone accused of driving a person to suicide. “We’ve had so many

suicides that are related to digital harassment. But we also have free-speech laws in this country,” Aftab said. In a review of news articles, The Associated Press found about a dozen suicides in the U.S. since October 2010 that were attributed at least in part to cyberbullying. Aftab said she believes the real number is at least twice that. In 2006, 13-year-old Megan Meier hanged herself in California after she was dumped online by a fictitious teenage boy created in part by an adult neighbor, Lori Drew, authorities said. A jury found Drew guilty of three federal misdemeanors, but a judge threw out the verdicts and acquitted her. Florida’s law, the Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up for All Students Act, was named after a teenager who killed himself after being harassed by classmates.

I’m really smart, and at my school that’s a really bad thing. I try hard to be nice, but here that’s worse than being smart. The teachers didn’t help me with the bullies, so I stopped telling them. My mom told everyone she could about the bullies, but nobody helps. It keeps getting worse over time. Every day someone picks on me, pushes me or makes fun of me. Please help me. —FEELING TORN IN TEXAS DEAR FEELING TORN: Because you haven’t told your teachers that the bullying hasn’t stopped, they may think that it’s no longer going on. Tell them again what you are experiencing, and be sure your mother knows. She should discuss this with your teacher. If things don’t get better, she needs to talk to the principal and, if

DEAR ABBY: I am agoraphobic. Although I have managed to make accommodations for special occasions like birthday parties and dinners with my family, I am not comfortable at extremely large gatherings. My parents understand this, but my sister and

brother-in-law think that if I’d just “try harder,” everything would work out. Abby, I must take a mild tranquilizer to go to small gatherings, and I have told them this. Would people tell someone who is allergic to something to just “try harder”? How can I explain this better? — AFRAID IN TAYLORSVILLE, UTAH DEAR AFRAID: I’m sorry to say this, but individuals have been known to give people with severe food allergies items containing their “trigger foods” because they are convinced “just a little” won’t hurt them — or worse, that the problem is imaginary. Your sister and brother-in-law do not understand phobias. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Spinal manipulation can have good results spinal cord travels through the bony ring. Projections called processes extend in several directions from this ring. Chiropractors apply direct pressure to the processes of one or more vertebrae using a finger or the palm of the hand. Most ASK manipulations DOCTOR K. also involve indirect force. The Dr. Anthony practitioner carefully the Komaroff twists patient’s head, shoulders and hips, temporarily displacing parts of the spine.

may also use other therapies. These include massage, heat and cold therapies, and electrotherapies. For some people, chiropractic care reduces the amount of medication needed to control pain. A 2010 review looked at 12 studies involving 2,887 people with low back pain. It concluded that chiropractic care improved short- and mediumterm pain more than other treatments. These included exercise, physical therapy and medication. But the overall differences were slight — and there was no difference in long-term pain. People who saw chiropractors also reported less short-term disability compared with people who received other treatments. But again, the difference was small. On the other hand, studies like this one give us good information about the experience of the average patient. You may or may not be like the “average” patient. If you have

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: I suffer from low back pain, and I’m thinking of visiting a chiropractor for spinal manipulation treatments. What do you think? DEAR READER: Spinal manipulation treatments are performed by chiropractors, osteopaths, and some massage and physical therapists. More than one of my patients has tried this treatment for back pain. They usually don’t like to tell me about it, because they think I’ll disapprove. Actually, I think there is evidence from scientific studies that chiropractic therapy for short-term or recurrent pain may be at least as effective as the treatments that I have to offer. But there’s not enough evidence to recommend chiropractic care for chronic back pain. Your spine is made up of a column of interlocking bones called vertebrae. Each vertebra has a circular solid body and a bony ring behind it. The

necessary, the school board. Many schools offer programs that discourage bullying and train students who can help. As a last resort, your mother should consult a lawyer. You have a right to an education that’s free DEAR from this ABBY kind of pressure.

had good relief from spinal manipulation in the past, I would not discourage you from trying it again. Chiropractic care carries a small degree of risk. That’s especially true for people with neck pain. While I know of patients who have found relief from spinal manipulation of the vertebrae in the neck, I think such treatment is risky. Very rarely, chiropractic manipulations can worsen or even cause additional problems. You also should avoid spinal manipulation if you have rheumatoid arthritis or nerve-related low back pain. If you’ve been told you have a “slipped disk” or a “herniated disk” that is pinching a nerve and causing pain in your buttock, thigh and lower leg, that’s likely nerve-related pain. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is:AskDoctorK.com.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2013

Helping Great Lakes rare bipartisan goal TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Nowhere has the fervor to cut government down to size been more dramatically on display than in the industrial Midwest. Republicans have seized control of statehouses across the traditional battleground region, where they’ve slashed budgets with a vengeance. Their counterparts in Congress have waged war with Democrats over federal spending, led by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, architect of blueprints that renounce “earmarks” for local

projects and even target Social Security. But there’s a 94,000-square-mile exception to the Republicans’ crusade to starve the federal beast: the Great Lakes. For all their indignation about government overreach, Republicans in the eight-state region are matching Democrats’ enthusiasm for an array of federal programs benefiting the inland seas, from dredging harbors to controlling invasive predators like the

fish-killing sea lamprey. When a House subcommittee this summer tried to cut 80 percent of President Barack Obama’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which has pumped $1.3 billion into 1,700 grants for cleanups and research since 2010, alarmed Republican freshman David Joyce of Ohio quickly weighed in to get most of next year’s money restored. A bipartisan parade from neighboring states is now backing his push to get the rest of the money or even increase it.

Where the Great Lakes are concerned, party politics really does stop at the water’s edge. It’s a marriage of convenience, explained partly by the lakes’ equal importance to the economy and the environment. They supply the drinking needs of more than 30 million people, support 1.5 million jobs and generate $62 billion in wages annually. They’re also home to more than 3,500 plant and animal species. More fundamentally, the vast lakes are cultural icons, inspiring poetry such

as Longfellow’s “The Song of Hiawatha” and countless memories of fishing with grandpa or camping on the beach. “There’s just something about the Great Lakes that’s part of our DNA, I think,” said Rep. Candice Miller, a Republican from suburban Detroit. “It’s hard to explain. It’s about our way of life.” In Congress, vote-rich states such as Illinois and Ohio, along with neighboring Pennsylvania and New York, pack considerable punch when they

stick together. Other clean-water programs lacking such an impassioned constituency haven’t fared as well. Federal funds that provide loans for drinking water and sewage treatment improvements also were cut 80 percent. No one has come to their rescue. “The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is among the most fiercely defended programs in the country,” said Andy Buchsbaum, regional director of the National Wildlife Federation.
