Rieke receives tax abatement HAMILTON — Rieke Packaging Systems has received a property-tax reduction for equipment it will add at its Hamilton operations. The Hamilton Town Board agreed to a 10-year phase-in of taxes on $1.8 million in plastic injection molding equipment for Rieke’s plant at 2855 E. Bellefountaine Road, said Brent Shull, Hamilton town manager. Rieke told Hamilton officials it plans to add nine employees to its current roster of 45 workers in Hamilton. The new equipment will allow Rieke to more efficiently supply its customers in the eastern United States, Shull said. Rieke maintains its headquarters and main manufacturing plant in Auburn, where it has operated since 1923. Its Hamilton operations began in 2002. Rieke makes drum closures and a wide variety of product dispensing systems.

Augustus “Gus” Larson, 13, died in the fire that’s still under investigation.

Teen dies in blaze BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — A Fremont Middle School eighth-grader lost his life in fire late Thursday night. Augustus “Gus” Larson, 13, apparently did not want to jump from the window of his second story bedroom to flee the fire, said information from Steuben County Sheriff Tim Troyer. “The upstairs window/screen to Gus’s bedroom was broken out and it is believed that Gus did not want to jump and retreated back inside the home in an attempt to escape elsewhere. His body was discovered still inside the bedroom area,” Troyer said. Fremont Community Schools officials were notified and prepared for grief counseling for students. Steuben County Coroner Bill Harter said Gus succumbed to smoke inhalation. His death was ruled accidental. An autopsy was

conducted Friday morning in Fort Wayne. The fire was at 6655 E. C.R. 500N, Fremont, at the Mitchel and Crystal Larson residence. It was reported at about 11:45 p.m. “The Larson family was sleeping when an adult was awakened to the smell of smoke. All family members were immediately awakened and began to escape the home that was filling with heavy smoke,” Troyer said. When Fremont Police arrived on the scene, they found the home fully engulfed in flames, said a news release from the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department. Members of the Larson family were outside of the home and told police there was one person still inside. Personnel from the Fremont Police and Fire departments and Steuben County Sheriff’s Department were on the scene. Fremont Fire and Police personnel tried in vain to reach

Gus, “however, the fire was too involved to fully enter the structure,” Troyer said. Firefighters from seven departments were called in to fight the fire, which was placed under control at 1:17 p.m. The fire remains under investigation by the sheriff, Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office and Fremont Fire. Investigators remained on the scene Friday afternoon. Assisting the Fremont Fire Department were fire departments from Angola, Orland, Ashley, Steuben Township, Hudson, Montgomery, Mich., and Northwest Township in Ohio. Also on the scene were personnel from the Indiana State Police, Steuben County Emergency Management, American Red Cross and Steuben County Coroner’s Office. AN EARLY VERSION of this story was

ANGOLA — Once again, an annual signature event that helps more than 250 people saw Steuben and DeKalb counties RISE to the Occasion Thursday. RISE Inc.’s eighth annual RISE to the Occasion featuring tastes, sights and sounds of the lakes was held at Trine University’ Busse Center. Proceeds from the event helps to rehabilitate more than 250 developmentally disabled RISE clients reach their fullest potential, while becoming self-sufficient and independent. Denise Payton, RISE’s executive director, said 500 people preregistered for the event and she felt it was a smashing success. “Every year it’s grown,” she said. “Ninety percent of this event is done by sponsor ships. This is the first year we tried the auctions and I thought they were very successful.” Payton was pleased 10 new businesses contacted her willing to be sponsors. “We’re only as successful as the community lets us be,” she said. “We started this because we wanted to give back to the community. We wanted to show what’s unique to Steuben and DeKalb counties.” Payton said four RISE clients served as greeters, as different ones are chosen each year. Clients and staff attending were treated to new outfits borrowed from Maurice’s.

The tastes, sights and sounds of the lake were featured at the eighth annual RISE to the Occasion event Thursday. The signature event for RISE featured restaurants, vendors, auctions and music. Proceeds go to assist developmentally disabled clients at RISE. Caterer Linda Hankins, right, serves Tina Lancaster, Pleasant Lake, some treats.

Amber King, RISE Creations activity director, did make-up and hair for clients attending. “They thought it was their prom,” King said. The event featured a booth of RISE Creations. The handmade goods are made and sold by clients “I think it fills clients with pride,” Kathy Rowe, RISE Creations activity staff member. “They work very hard and made all the centerpieces and candles.”

Jamar Averyhart, a Trine student, volunteers at RISE and helped at the clients’ booth. Averyhart also teaches sports to clients. “They laugh at how serious we are,” he said about the clients. “They remember my name before I remember theirs.” The entertainment line up included the Trine University Jazz Band and Adam Strack. Numerous local restaurants and artists participated.

ANGOLA — The first hearing in the federal lawsuit against Angola brought by the owners of a proposed Showgirl strip club in the city likely will be continued, indicated a Thursday filing in U.S. Federal District Court, South Bend. Alva and Sandra Butler of Fort Wayne, owners of the Showgirl III strip club in that city, are suing Angola over alleged rights violations in denying the opening of a Showgirl club here. The case was filed in March and through a variety of filings and pleadings on the part of Butler and Angola, the case was headed for an Oct. 25 hearing in South Bend before Judge Robert L. Miller Jr. The hearing was to take up the city’s motion for summary judgment and Butler’s motion for a preliminary injunction. “It appears very likely that the court will be unable to produce a ruling (with adequate reasoning and discussion of the cited authorities) on the pending motion for judgment on the pleadings before the Oct. 25 hearing,” Miller wrote. “Such a ruling was expected to be issued before Oct. 25 when the other motions were set for hearing on that date.” SEE SHOWGIRL, PAGE A6

GOP pitches solutions WASHINGTON (AP) — With time running short, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner accelerated efforts Friday to prevent the U.S. Treasury from default and end a partial government shutdown that stretched into an 11th day. The latest impacts: New aircraft grounded, military chaplains silenced and a crab harvest jeopardized in the Bering Sea. “Let’s put this hysterical talk of default behind us and instead start talking about finding solutions,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Republicans in the House and Senate separately made proposals to the White House for ending an impasse that polls say has inflicted damage on their party politically. Each offered to reopen the government and raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit — but only as part of broader approaches that envision deficit savings, changes to the health care law known as Obamacare and an easing of across-the-board spending cuts that the White House and Congress both dislike. The details and timing differed. “We’re waiting to hear” from administration officials, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Hopes remained high on Wall Street, where investors sent the Dow Jones industrial average 111 points higher following Thursday’s 323-point surge. Obama met at the White House with small business owners about the impacts they were feeling from the budget battles, and said he hoped to be able to bring them toward a conclusion, said Det Ansinn, who attended the session. “He was a little slightly melancholy that maybe it could be done over the weekend and maybe not. He’s been down this road before,” said Ansinn, owner of Doylestown, Pa.-based mobile and Web app developer Brick Simple.

Hess won’t seek re-election; Musser running FROM STAFF REPORTS

ANGOLA — Steuben County Prosecutor Mike Hess has announced that he will not seek a second term in office next year, a statement released Friday afternoon said. In the announcement, Hess also recommended the public elect his chief deputy, Jeremy T. Musser, as his replacement in the 2014 elections. “After having worked almost 40 years in the criminal justice field, I have decided not to seek re-election in 2014 as Prosecuting Attorney for Steuben County. Since 1974, when I first became a deputy sheriff, through my time in the Michigan Attorney

General’s office, as a public defender for Steuben County, and finally, for the last 27 years, as Hess Chief Deputy and elected Prosecutor, I have striven to protect and serve the citizens in my community. I now wish to pursue a career teaching at the collegiate level,” Hess said. Hess said successful prosecutions in recent years have been due in large part to the work of Musser, who used the occasion to announce his candidacy. Filing for the May primary

in Indiana won’t start until January. “I am pleased to announce my intention to run for the office of Musser Prosecuting Attorney of Steuben County. It has been an honor serving the people of Steuben County as your Deputy Prosecutor under Tom Wilson and currently as your Chief Deputy Prosecutor under Mike Hess,” Musser said. “During my time as a prosecutor, I have had the great privilege and responsibility of prosecuting and trying some of the most serious and

AUBURN — A DeKalb County man who went to prison for the 1984 murder of an elderly Butler woman is facing legal troubles again. Robert W. Sleek Jr., 60, of the 3300 block of C.R. 427, Waterloo, was arrested Oct. 5 by the Waterloo Police Department on a warrant charging him with theft, a Class D felony. He is scheduled to appear Monday for an initial hearing in DeKalb Superior Court I. Sleek is accused of taking a generator, ladder and rare electrical components from a yard where he was mowing. Sleek first denied the allegation, then admitted he had taken the items and said he was willing to pay restitution, according to a police affidavit of probable cause for Sleek’s arrest. Police interviewed Sleek about the alleged theft while he was in the DeKalb County Jail, serving a 60-day sentence for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He had pleaded guilty to that offense Aug. 28 in DeKalb Superior Court I. Sleek has served a 50-year prison sentence in the Indiana Department of Correction for his conviction on a charge of murder in the Oct. 5, 1984, stabbing death of 67-year-old Pearl Lemper, who was his neighbor in a duplex. A hunter found her body nine days later in a field near Newville. A DeKalb County jury found Sleek guilty of murder, and then-Judge Charles Quinn sentenced Sleek to 60 years in prison. Sleek appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court overturned his convic-

A lesson in agriculture Jake Ridenour, left, of Ridenour Acres, a corn maze located east of Angola at 2935 E. C.R. 20N, talks with Angola Middle School sixth-graders Friday morning. Ridenour told the students about modern farming, particularly the use of global positioning system and computer

technology. He used that technology to create his corn maze, which is open this autumn. Students visiting Friday had a number of interdisciplinary stations in which they learned a variety of subjects using the Ridenour Acres facilities. And the students got to have some fun, too.

tion, ordering a new trial. The Supreme Court ruled a taped confession that was played to the jury during the first trial was inadmissible, because it was obtained illegally, and violated Sleek’s Miranda rights. The case was transferred to Delaware County, where Sleek pleaded guilty to murder. On April 16, 1987, Sleek was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Indiana Department of Correction records says Sleek’s earliest possible release date was Feb. 9, 2009, and appear to indicate he was released from prison on that date, after serving nearly 22 years. In the 1987 sentencing hearing, the judge noted Sleek’s criminal history included several drunkendriving charges, nine theft or forgery charges, several misdemeanor offenses and a 1977 rape conviction in Pennsylvania for which he was sentenced to 5-10 years of incarceration. As a result of the rape conviction, Sleek currently is listed on Indiana’s sex offender registry. However, a new court ruling will result in Sleek being removed from the registry, said Dave Bundy, a DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department special deputy in charge of sex offender registration. The ruling says Indiana cannot force sex offenders to register for crimes committed in other states before Indiana began its registry in the mid-1990s, Bundy said. Sleek moved about one month ago to an apartment near DeKalb Middle School, Bundy said. That would not be permitted under rules for registered sex offenders, but due to the court ruling, DeKalb County authorities could not object to Sleek’s residence. Sleek apparently is planning to move to Allen County soon, however, Bundy said. Sleek returned to DeKalb County in February, Bundy added. After his release from the Indiana prison system in 2009, Pennsylvania revoked Sleek’s parole on the rape conviction and returned him to a Pennsylvania prison for approximately three years, Bundy said.

Warming ourselves by the enemy’s fire Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” Now the servants and ofﬁcers had made a charcoal ﬁre, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself … Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, “You also are not one of his disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?” Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed. — John 18: 15-18; 25-27

himself at the enemy’s fire. While there, Peter is confronted by those around him that he (Peter) was with Jesus. It is not fair for me to say that Peter thought this or that at that time, so I will not pretend to know. However, what I do know is that just hours before, Peter pledged to not only live for Jesus, but was willing to die for Him. Jesus, knowing all things, told Peter that he would deny even knowing Him. Peter, being the hard-headed person he was, argued with Jesus that it would never happen! As the story shares, it came to pass. In Luke’s passage (Luke 22:31–32), Jesus even shares how He prayed for Peter and testified that he (Peter) would be restored to fellowship with him. Peter’s mistake, I personally believe, was that he left the side of the Savior and warmed himself in the camp of the ones who were out to destroy him and all those connected to him. That same experience is happening today. There are those who follow Jesus even into the courtyards and the possibility of facing the same fate as him and there are those (even “Christians”) who will be content separating themselves from Him to be warmed by the worldly fires. And like Peter, they will deny even knowing Jesus. We warm ourselves by the fires of greed, fame, power, judgment, lust, gossip, worthlessness, anger, envy and then cry out, “Where are You, Jesus? Why did You leave me?” He never left our side; we left His side to warm ourselves by other things than his love. Jesus, unlike ourselves, can

BY JOHN BOYANOWSKI

As a pastor, I often hear different people ask “Why does it seem that my life is going nowhere?” When I ask for clarity, they share that it seems like their spiritual lives are stagnant and stale. And as we dive deeper into discussion, it is often revealed that they are not near the Lord. They share that they were following the Lord and somehow noticed one day He was not anywhere to be found. What a sad discovery to come upon; especially when it’s you who realizes this. Don’t lose heart dear friends, you are not the only ones. This happens to many people; even those who were walking closely with the Lord. In this passage, we see two disciples: Peter and the other disciple (many scholars believe this to be John the Beloved; the one whom Jesus gave charge over his mother to at the crucifixion) coming to be with Jesus during his last night on earth before his resurrection. John follows Jesus into the courtyard and Peter decided to warm himself by the fires of those who have just turned their backs on Jesus. These people followed the ways of earthly rulers and leaders because they didn’t see Jesus for who He is. Both Peter and John did see this and John never wanted to leave the side of Christ. Peter decided to warm

be in the world and not of it (meaning that he can be around those people who influence us to stray from God’s side and stand firm). I have spent my time by the enemy’s fire; warming myself by its light only to find that I was colder and more bitter than I was when I was with Jesus. I now try to be like the other disciple and to follow Him even unto the cross. I want to be the one who will go to the ends of the earth with Jesus. I will not blind myself though; I still have moments of what I call “Peter Syndrome,” meaning that I might try to warm myself by my enemy’s fire. I hope that I never develop a relapse of it; I already know what would happen if I do. Do you find yourself suddenly apart from the Lord? Wonder where you lost sight of Him? Are you warming yourselves by the fires of your soul’s enemy? Don’t become lost in the crowd; keep fixated on the Lord. Stay by his side. Grab hold of Him if you need to. Whatever it takes, STAY BY HIS SIDE if you want to see miracles happen, healings take place, and if you want direction in your lives. Father God, There is nothing more warming than to be by your side. Please take my hand when I want to warm myself by anything else that by your love. I want to follow you like John and when I stray from your side, let me have the heart of Peter and to weep bitterly for ever leaving your side. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. THE REV. JOHN BOYANOWSKI

Death In The News • Larry Benoit, hunter of big bucks, dies MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Larry Benoit, a deer hunter who helped spawn a revival of the art of tracking and created an empire of books, videos and seminars, has died. He was 89. Benoit, whose given name was Lanyard, died Tuesday at Larry Benoit his home in Duxbury at 89. The cause of death was not released, but his son Shane said his father’s health had been declining. In the past 40 years, the name Benoit has become synonymous with deer hunting and the bagging of huge bucks, many weighing more than 200 pounds. During a lifetime of hunting, his family estimated, Benoit shot at least 200 bucks. “He has been my hero since I was 12 or 13,” said Scott Smolen, 56, a farmer from Mondovi, Wis., who invited Benoit to hunt his farm last November, when Benoit shot his last buck. Smolen first came to know Benoit by buying hunting supplies from him. “In my opinion,” Smolen said, “he was the greatest deer hunter that ever walked the face of the Earth.” The Benoit name moved beyond just the local hunters of central Vermont after a local photographer and author noticed that during every autumn’s hunting season, several large deer would be hanging outside the Benoit home along Route 100 just outside Waterbury. “People just couldn’t believe that we could successfully keep shooting huge bucks every year,” Shane Benoit said Friday.

Mom visits American detained in North Korea SEATTLE (AP) — An ailing American who has been detained in North Korea for 11 months has had an emotional reunion with his mother for the first time since he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, the family said Friday. Myunghee Bae was allowed into North Korea to see her son, Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American Christian missionary, at a hospital where he has been held since August. Bae’s sister, Terri Chung, of the Seattle suburb of Edmonds, said Friday she had not yet spoken with her mother, but did hear from the Swedish ambassador in Pyongyang, who attended the visit. Photographs of the reunion depicted Bae, wearing vertical stripes of blue and white, embracing his mother and holding her hand. “He said it was a very emotional meeting, that they had a reunion and that Kenneth did look better from

when he was hospitalized on Aug. 9,” Chung said. Kenneth Bae, a 45-year-old tour operator and Christian missionary, was arrested last November while leading a group of tourists in the northeastern region of Rason. The government accused him of subversive acts. He was transferred over the summer from a prison camp, where he largely farmed vegetables, to the hospital because he had lost more than 50 pounds. He also suffers from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain, his family has said. The ambassador reported that Bae has regained about 15 pounds since being hospitalized, Chung said. “The rest he’s been given must be helping,” Chung said. Though comforting, the visit did not necessarily give the family any greater hope that Bae might soon be freed: “We can only hope,” Chung said.

This is shutdown theater and fake austerity Government wants you to play a role in the “shutdown” of the federal government. Your role is to panic. Republicans and Democrats both assume that shutting some government is a terrible thing. The press concurs. “Shutdown threatens fragile economy,” warns Politico. “Federal workers turn to prayer,” laments The Washington Post. If the public starts noticing that life goes on as usual without all 3.4 million federal workers, we might get dangerous ideas, like JOHN doing without so much government. Politicians don’t want that. STOSSEL They’d rather have us worry about how America will cope. President Obama gave a speech where he actually said we need to keep government open for the sake of people like the person working for the Department of Agriculture “out there helping some Bureaucrats, acting farmers make sure like bullies, protest that they’re making some modest profit,” the partial closures by and the Department doing things like cutting of Housing and Urban Development off access to public “helping somebody parks — even privately buy a house for the first time.” funded ones. Give me a break. Farmers don’t need bureaucrats to teach them how to make a profit, and Americans can buy first homes without HUD helping a chosen few. Americans would make more profit and afford better homes if they didn’t have to spend a third of national income on federal taxes. Bureaucrats, acting like bullies, protest the partial closures by doing things like cutting off access to public parks — even privately funded ones. Federal cops block access to outdoor war memorials and much of Mt. Rushmore. They block access to motels and order people out of private homes that happen to sit on federal land. The Washington Free Beacon reports, “The closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation.” This is shutdown theater. It’s similar to the fake “austerity measures” in other countries. We’re told that Europe’s slow economic growth is a result of “austerity” embraced by European governments. But there hasn’t really been any austerity. England, where a “conservative” government is in charge, increased government spending by 4 percent. “Austerity” in Greece — supposedly so drastic that the public has little choice but to riot in protest — meant changes like reducing mandatory severance pay to one entire year (instead of two!). In the U.S., Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Cal., told CNN the federal government has cut so much spending that there’s just nothing left to cut: “The cupboard is bare! There’s no more cuts to make!” What? The federal government spends almost $4 trillion! The government cupboard overflows! We fund entire cabinet departments that are worse than useless. The Labor Department interferes with actual labor. Commerce would flow more smoothly without Commerce Department bureaucrats channeling money to their cronies. The government hasn’t cut spending — it never does. After the last shutdowns, politicians even voted to award retroactive pay to government workers who didn’t work. Bet they do it again this time. The federal government remains the biggest employer in the country. President Obama says so with pride. Compare this to what happens in the private sector in tough times: AT&T cut 40,000 workers. Sears cut 50,000. IBM: 60,000. They weren’t easy decisions, but they enabled the companies to stay profitable. With fewer workers, leaner companies found more efficient ways to get things done. And the rest of us barely noticed. We expect change and adaptation in free-market institutions. But it doesn’t happen in government. Government just grows. Maybe the ugliest part of this story is that the city that whines most about suffering through the shutdown, Washington, D.C., is now the richest geographic area in America. Washington got richer while the rest of America didn’t. Over the past 12 years, median income in the U.S. dropped about 6.5 percent — but not in D.C.! There, it rose 23 percent. Four of the five richest counties now surround Washington, D.C. No wonder politicians and bureaucrats are convinced big government is essential to keep the economy going — it is essential to keep them going.

Bible deals with same-sex relationships To the editor: Christ’s first encounter with same-sex relationships is found in Genesis chapters 18-19, Jesus Christ appears to Abraham as a man alone with two angels. The Lord Christ is sent to Abraham in response to the outcry of

the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord sent the angels who appeared as men to visit the cities while He stayed back to Abraham. After they arrived, the men of Sodom were determined to have same-sex relations with the two angels. The angels gave a very strong warning to those who were involved in same-sex relationships. Next, the two angels removed Lot and part of his

family from Sodom. After they were at a safe distance, the Lord rained down brimstone and fire on the two cities. The Bible says, “For I the Lord do not change,” and “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, yes and forever.” Dean Douglass The Rev. Jerry Strahan Angola

Be sure to drop him before you go shopping We have to go to a wedding in a month or so. Sue needs something to wear and a gift for the lucky couple, so she’s out shopping. Even though I have plenty of free time, she said she wanted to go by herself. Now, I’m not one of those clingy, needy men who have to be attached to their spouse with Velcro. I’ve got plenty of my own stuff to do, so fine, go shop by yourself. It won’t hurt my feelings, though I don’t know how she’ll find anything without my help. I’m always pointing out things she should buy or try on, and making helpful suggestions about the wonderful outfits she’s passing up. I dread to see what she’ll come back with without my constant advice. She’s always complaining that the stuff in the stores is all made for teenagers, and I’m thinking, what’s the problem with that? Maybe she should start showing a little midriff. Alone, she’ll probably come

back with something she got on sale from the Amish Collection at the Clogger’s Secret. And without me, there’s no telling what present she’s going to buy for the newlyweds. She might pass up the JIM multiplayer video game MULLEN section entirely and buy them something like a coffeemaker, a toaster or a place setting — just because that’s what they picked when they registered. That doesn’t mean you have to buy it for them. They’re just young kids, what do they know? I think surprise is a big part of any gift. Who would expect to get a giant birdcage? Not my niece, I can

tell you that. Or a shop vac? These are the kind of things that newlyweds forget to ask for, but that really stop traffic on the gift table. Now Sue insists that we just give them a check. “Let them buy their own shop vac.” What a buzz-kill that is. It’s not just weddings; she’s even started to go grocery shopping without me, which means she’s sure to miss out on some incredible deals. I have actually seen her walk past a display of half-price sauerkraut without picking up a can. “It’s not the brand we buy,” she said. It’s sauerkraut, I wanted to say, there is no wrong brand. It’s like kipper snacks: You can’t make a mistake. Many times when I’d say something, she wouldn’t seem to hear me. Naturally, I thought she was losing her hearing. There was a simple enough way to find out: I’d say something behind her back and see how close I had to get before she responded. One day I walked

into the kitchen and she had her back to me while she washed some dishes, so I said, “What’s for dinner?” Not a word. She didn’t move. I got one step closer and said, “What’s for dinner?” No response. I took another step closer and said, “What’s for dinner?” Suddenly she whipped around, put her hands on her hips and said, “For the third time, meatloaf!” So now I go shopping alone, too, which is turning out better than I expected. I never hear, “You don’t need that” or “We already have seven of those,” and when I see other guys pushing carts full of on-sale hominy and bacon mayonnaise and oddly flavored cheeses, I feel their kindred spirit. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; shop, and you shop alone. JIM MULLEN is a syndicated columnist with Newspaper Enterprise Association. He can be contacted at JimMullenBooks. com.

Fremont, ex-officer sued BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

Partly cloudy today with a chance of showers. High temperature of 76 and the low tonight will be in the mid-50s. Cooler Sunday with some sunshine. Daytime highs will be in the low 70s. Overnight low of 47 expected. Sun and clouds with temperatures in the 60s on Monday. Low Monday night of 48 degrees.

FREMONT — A Fremont couple is suing the town of Fremont and a former Fremont police officer in federal court. The suit was filed by Fort Wayne attorney Chris Myers on Aug. 27 in the Northern Federal District Court in Fort Wayne on behalf of Nic J. Lantz and Traci Totzke. They claim Officer Tony Tribble, who resigned last August after about a year on the job, used excessive force in a drunk-driving arrest Jan. 28, 2012. No court dates are set; civil cases often go through a lengthy negotiation phase before they are heard in a courtroom. Last week, Fremont Town Council approved town attorney Kurt Bachman to act in its behalf and Tribble’s in the legal proceedings. Town manager Chris Snyder said the town’s liability insurance should cover the costs. Notice of tort claim was sent to Fremont July 25, 2012, notifying the town of potential legal action. Angola Police Department, Indiana State Police and state conservation officers have also been notified due to their involvement in the arrest. Tribble tased Lantz twice and beat him with a baton after breaking the driver’s side window of his truck to get to him. He pulled Lantz over around 2:30 a.m. in his own driveway, court documents say. Totzke came out of the home but was ordered by Tribble to go back inside. Later, Tribble put Totzke in “protective custody” for a short period of time in her home while explaining

SHOWGIRL: Witnesses say no sites for club exist FROM PAGE A1

Miller said the parties could seek a continuance of the Oct. 25 hearing or go on with it as planned. What Angola requested, in essence, was dismissal of the suit. Butler wants the court to rule city law and actions null and void. In March, Butler sued the city, claiming that in trying to open a sexually oriented business, his constitutional rights were violated. Butler claims when he purchased the former Slider’s Grill and Bar building at 310 W. Wendell Jacob Ave. on Aug. 9, it met Angola’s existing requirements to operate a sexually

oriented business. His suit claims the city took actions that would legislate him out of being able to operate at the former Slider’s location. The city claims it was well within its rights to enact ordinances regulating sexually oriented businesses and changing zoning classifications where the businesses would be allowed. The city’s actions came in September and November. Meanwhile, as part of the pleadings, the city has outlined a variety of land parcels in Angola’s zoning jurisdiction where Showgirl would be able to operate under the new zoning regulations. There are 29

properties covering 95.5 acres that would be eligible in their entirety for use by a sexually oriented business. Another 12 parcels covering 14.7 acres would be partly eligible for use by a sexually oriented business. Expert witnesses on behalf of Butler, his attorneys countered, show there are no sites in Angola that would meet the requirements to allow siting of a sexually oriented business. In response to the city’s filing, Butler’s attorneys said their expert witnesses have testified in cases for both sides of clients in adult entertainment industry court battles.

to her, “if a police officer tells her to do something she needed to listen,” said the arrest summary Tribble prepared, which was used as a probable cause affadavit in Steuben Circuit Court in Lantz’ operating while intoxicated case. Tribble maintains that Lantz would not exit his truck as ordered. The federal suit says “Lantz noticed that Tribble was agitated” so he chose to stay in the vehicle until other officers arrived. Tribble shot Lantz with a taser, which Tribble reported had “litte effect.” He pointed the taser at Lantz again and told him to get out of the truck. Tribble reported that Lantz swore at him, and Tribble tased him again, though in the report he says he does not believe it had the “full effect.” He then attempted to physically remove Lantz from the truck and Lantz fought back, getting back into the vehicle and shutting the door. Tribble promptly used his baton to break out the window of the truck then struck Lantz with the baton multiple times, according to his arrest report. The two struggled and Tribble pulled his gun and offered to shoot Lantz, at which time Lantz let go of Tribble’s neck, court documents say. When Tribble attempted to take him into custody, Lantz resisted more, at one point kicking Tribble in the head and then running away. Tribble caught him after he slipped in the ice and snow and put him in a choke hold until an Indiana State Police officer arrived. The entire incident took around nine minutes, said Fremont Town Marshal Joe Patterson, the amount

1-800-717-4679

of time from when Tribble called for backup until the state trooper arrived. Lantz was taken to Cameron Memorial Community Hospital by EMS. He received 12 staples in his head to suture a gash from the baton before being released to Steuben County Jail. Later, Tribble and other officers returned to Lantz and Totzke’s home and did a thorough search without consent, says the federal suit, which lists several violations to their Fourth Amendment rights. The pair seek compensation for physical pain, mental suffering, emotional distress and medical expenses as well as punitive damages. Felony and misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest were dismissed when Lantz pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated on Aug. 28, 2012. He received a 90-day sentence with 60 days suspended, 10 months probation, 40 hours community service and a 90-day driver’s license. He allegedly violated the terms of his probation and was arrested Sept. 9 on a warrant. A pretrial conference was held Sept. 30 and the case is pending. Tribble is currently a reserve deputy with the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department. He was suspended from Fremont Police Department for violating its policies, including failure to obey an order of a supervisor, not wearing the proper uniform, failure to use equipment in an enforcement action and neglect of duty. He was suspended in June 2012 and resigned that August.

Hornets hold off Fremont BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — Angola survived a wild finish Friday night to hang on and beat Steuben County rival Fremont 14-12 in a Northeast Corner Conference football game at Max Mitchell Memorial Sports Complex. Austin Bauer had both Hornet touchdowns on run plays, two interceptions, and stopped Nate Beatty short of the goal line after the Eagle senior caught a Kaleb Hayes pass on a two-point attempt to tie with 1 minute, 38 seconds left.

NL CHAMP. SERIES GAME 1 ST. LOUIS ....................................... L.A. DODGERS................LATE

Angola (4-4, 4-3 NECC) intercepted Hayes three times and scored touchdowns off two of those takeaways. Bauer scored from nine yards out with 1:51 left to cap a nine-play, 50-yard drive after Bauer picked off Hayes deep in Hornet territory. AHS overcame two holding penalities to take a 14-6 lead after Spencer Stites’ second extra-point kick. Bauer leaped in front of a defender to make a 19-yard catch of a Jake Roddy pass to the Fremont 21-yard line on a second down-and-long play en route to the touchdown that gave

Angola some cushion. “Bottom line, Austin Bauer is a stud,” Hornets coach Josh Schoeff said. “I have faith in all of our guys. But Austin is a kid who flat-out wants it.” On the ensuing kickoff, senior Zach Roebel made his biggest play of the season as last year’s 200-meter state track qualifier took a bouncing ball near the Eagles’ sideline, ran to the middle of the field, found an opening and ran away from everybody for an 80-yard kickoff return touchdown with 1:38 left.

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — It wasn’t easy, but the Prairie Heights Panthers knocked off Northeast Corner Conference foe West Noble Friday night 21-13. The Panthers started off slow in the first quarter, but capitalized on good ball movement downfield. They found the end zone during their second possession in the form of a rushing touchdown by Cassten Everidge from three yards out to cap off a 81-yard scoring drive. The PH defense forced numerous three-and-outs against the Chargers during the first half. Special teams played a big role as well. Panther senior Corey Johnson made big plays in all three phases. He twice pinned the Chargers inside their 10-yard

HORNETS: Angola held a 7-6 margin at the half FROM PAGE B1

One of those broken plays turned to gold in scoring first. On secondand-goal from the Eagle 3, Roddy ran right on an option play late in the second quarter and was stopped. As a last resort, Roddy lateraled back to Bauer, who zoomed down the Angola sideline with little room to operate and made it to the end zone with 3 minutes left. Fremont answered with odds stacked against it. After the Eagles were backed up 15 yards on a personal foul penalty by Hunter Leskowyak, Hayes threw deep down the middle of the field and Beatty ran it down to catch it and score on a 45-yard reception on the final offensive play of the first half. But the extra-point kick went wide right, and the Hornets led 7-6 at the half. Leskowyak, a sophomore receiver and defensive back, threw a punch and was ejected from the game. He will serve a one-game suspension next week when Fremont travels to West Noble. Angola had the ball inside the Fremont 5 on

Then Fremont (2-6, 1-6) tried to get its best player free in space on the perimeter on the two-point attempt. Angola’s best player stood up to the challenge. “We actually knew what was coming. It was similar to a play we run, setting a pick in getting the ball to Beatty,” Bauer said. “I had to stop him. You got to have a nose for the ball.” Brandon Spaulding caught the short kickoff right by Fremont’s Logan Peel and fell down after the Fremont touchdown. Angola took three knees to run out the clock. “It wasn’t pretty, but we’ll take it,” Schoeff said. “Their kids fought and battled like we knew they would. We didn’t execute the way we are capable of. We’ll look inward to get things fixed. Fremont outgained the Hornets in total offense 216-179 on its Senior Night. But Angola did not turn the ball over despite having mixed results on numerous broken plays.

three different possessions in the first half. The Hornets only scored on one of those possessions. “A 1A team went toe-to-toe with a 4A team. We have nothing to hang our heads about,” Eagles coach Nick Maksimchuk said. “We wanted to get a win for our seniors because our seniors are great kids. We can build off of this. “I’m proud of our guys’ effort. Our offensive line did a very good job in pass protection. Fifty (Hornet linebacker Dylan Belcher) was good,” Maksimchuk added. “How we take on next week will depend on our attitudes.” Hayes completed 11-of-24 passed for 160 yards for FHS. Brock Baker caught five passes for 79 yards and led the strong Eagle defensive effort along with Brad Owen. Roddy had 15 rushed for 64 yards for Angola. Bauer had nine carries for 32 yards. Sophomore Austin Holman had the other Hornet interception. AHS had the edge on first downs, 12-9.

remembered. Find each other and get it done,” Royer said. And they did just that. The Chargers were more methodical during the second half despite being down 21-7 at the break. West Noble ran the ball and chewed up lots of time. Those runs came primarily from junior Payton Shrock. He continually cut into the Panthers’ defense, chipping away the yards. The Chargers drove down the field in the third quarter, netting 80 yards. Quarter-

“All of our starters are healed up and back with the exception of missing Joey Barry. But we saw a guy down with a bad ankle and our young guys went in and stepped up and set the pace. “We ran the ball, stopped the run and played well on special teams.

back Waylon Richardson connected with Dillon Alexander for a six-yard scoring toss on a fourth down play to cut the deficit to 21-13. In the final quarter, West Noble stopped Heights on downs as the defensive line forced pressure in the pocket and swatted away a pass at the line of scrimmage on fourth down. But the Chargers got the ball back with little time left. West Noble could not move the ball in the closing moments.

At 4-2, realistic Notre Dame seeks strong finish SOUTH BEND (AP) — The magic of Notre Dame’s surprising run to the national championship game last season started fading long before this season began. The trouble started three months before the opening kickoff when news leaked that quarterback Everett Golson, who had helped spark the Irish to the title game, had been suspended for the semester by the university. That was quickly followed by news that blue chip recruit Eddie Vanderdoes was defecting to UCLA before signing up for his first class at Notre Dame. Then, during preseason practices, linebacker Danny Spond was forced to give up football after being struck for a second time by a paralyzing migraine headache. Coach Brian Kelly often talked of the margin between winning and losing being razor thin a year ago, when the Irish survived many a close call en route to an undefeated regular season. He said the margin this season is even thinner. And nothing illustrates that better than Notre Dame’s 37-34 victory over Arizona State last week that allowed the Fighting Irish to go into their off week with a satisfactory if not satisfying 4-2 record rather than 3-3 with a fan base in full-fledged panic. The players know the difference, regardless. “For us just mentally and with our schedule, 4-2 is a lot better than 3-3,” receiver TJ Jones said. “Leading into the

bye week, we needed to leave on a good note.” The Irish have won 11 national championships during their storied history, but are a quarter century removed from their most recent title — the longest drought ever. So how do the Irish measure success these days? Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said there are two parts to that answer: the Irish want to aspire to a national championship each year, but have to realize sometimes circumstances make it difficult. “That’s the way we engage

in the business,” he said. “Every year is going to be different and represent different potential, injuries, what your opponents are doing — a whole host of things come into play. What I’m looking for is, are we making week-to-week progress, quarter-to-quarter progress? Are we getting better? Are we developing the student-athletes? “That’s the only litmus test I have once we’re in the season.” Swarbrick sees progress in this year’s team, saying the win over Arizona State was the most complete effort by the Irish as

the offense, defense and special teams all contributed. He also sees year-to-year progress under Kelly, who signed a five-year contract just before the season started. With a national championship out of reach, and some difficult games on deck, the Irish will continue to push forward. They play host to USC on Oct. 19, and the regularseason finale is at Stanford, ranked No. 5 this week, on Nov. 30. With the Irish still a season away from gaining access to bowls with Atlantic Coast Conference ties, Notre Dame faces the prospect of earning a BCS berth or waiting to see which of the lower-level bowls are unable to fill their slots. But Kelly doesn’t think believe his players are looking that far down the road. “We just don’t get too far ahead of ourselves, because we are staying in the present,” he said. “And if we think about anything else but the next day of practice, we just would be putting ourselves in peril.” The Irish will start the season’s second half still searching for a balanced offense, a No. 1 running back and adjusting to life without starting middle linebacker Jarrett Grace. The replacement for Manti Te’o, Grace sustained a broken leg last week. And they’ll play the rest of the way on freshly installed grass, the third time this year that new sod is being installed at Notre Dame Stadium.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Winslow suspended 4 games FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was suspended without pay for four games by the NFL on Friday for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances. Winslow, the team’s leading receiver with 17 catches, will immediately begin his suspension, meaning he will sit out the Jets’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. He will be eligible to return to the Jets’ active roster on Nov. 4, following New York’s game against New Orleans on Nov. 3. The Jets have a bye-week break after they play the Saints, so Winslow’s next opportunity to play would be on Nov. 17 at Buffalo.

Mansally suspended 2 games SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Real Salt Lake defender Abdoulie Mansally has been suspended for two games for a serious foul in the 15th minute of a game against Dallas midfielder Jackson. Mansally received a red card on the play Saturday. The players union submitted an appeal, but the MLS Disciplinary Committee’s decision was upheld. Mansally is suspended for two games, one for having received a red card and one imposed by the committee. He will sit out on Oct. 19 vs. Portland and Oct. 23 against Chivas USA.

Bears’ Williams to miss rest of season LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears middle linebacker D.J. Williams will miss the remainder of the season because of a chest injury. Williams ruptured his left pectoral muscle tendon during Thursday’s win over the New York Giants. Coach Marc Trestman was not sure on Friday how the injury occurred. Williams, signed in the offseason to help replace Brian Urlacher, left in the third quarter, the latest injury for a defense that’s had its share. The Bears visit Washington next week, and with Williams out, rookie Jonathan Bostic figures to start in his place.

Governor, others to sell pumpkins

Control poison hemlock in fall WEST LAFAYETTE â€” Crop and livestock producers with poison hemlock in their pastures, crops or ditches should consider treating the weed in the fall, a Purdue Extension weed specialist says. Poison hemlock is a biennial weed that is toxic to both livestock and humans, if is ELYSIA enough consumed. can be RODGERS Itidentifi ed by its finely divided, toothed leaves and white flowers. Its stems are hairless, have purple spots or blotches and can grow to 2-7 feet in height. â€œThe weed seems to be spreading, becoming a more common occurrence in pastures, agronomic crops, fencerows and roadsides,â€? Bill Johnson said. â€œIt can be difficult to control in the spring. Itâ€™s easier to control in the fall because itâ€™s more sensitive to herbicides.â€? The plant growth and appearance is more visible in the spring, when the plants â€œbolt,â€? or elongate rapidly, and the white flowers bloom, so thatâ€™s when most people become concerned with it. But Johnson said there is active rosette formation of the weed in the fall. â€œGrowers should really think about fall-applied herbicide treatments whether theyâ€™re treating their

â€˘

pastures or fields going to corn or soybeans next year,â€? he said. â€œThey should be treating them in the fall to control poison hemlock.â€? For control in grass pastures, he recommended using one of a couple of herbicides that contain triclopyr as an active ingredient. The good news for livestock producers is that while poison hemlock is considered to be most toxic in the fall, livestock usually wonâ€™t eat the plant if there are other options in the pasture. â€œCows wonâ€™t usually eat poison hemlock, because this weed doesnâ€™t taste as good as the more desirable pasture species,â€? Johnson said. â€œBut if the pasture is limited in desirable forages, then there may be a situation where the cows will get hungry enough to eat the plant.â€? In corn or soybeans where poison hemlock is a nuisance, growers can try an aggressive tillage program to disrupt it. If a herbicide is needed for control in agronomic crops, Johnson recommended applying products containing dicamba. Farmers should be aware that some herbicides can damage legumes or other desired vegetation, so they need to double-check labels before applying them. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.

Soybean harvest A common sight throughout northeast Indiana is the harvesting of soybeans. At this farm near Ligonier, beans are loaded

from a harvester into a truck that will take them to one of the many grain buyers in the area.

INDIANAPOLIS â€”On Tuesday, Governor Mike Pence, Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann, their cabinet members and staff will sell pumpkins to benefit the Midwest Food Bank as part of the 2013-2014 State Employeesâ€™ Community Campaign (SECC). The Governorâ€™s Great Pumpkin Patch will be held on the South Lawn of the Statehouse from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. They will be helping with the sale of pumpkins as well as cookies and apple cider, and the public is welcome to attend the event.

Falling feed prices helping hog farmers WEST LAFAYETTE â€” Hog production is returning to profitability as feed prices fall, and a reduction in slaughter numbers seems to show that producers are noticing, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt says. Major drought in 2012 ransacked the nationâ€™s feed crops, sending livestock feed prices sky high and driving hog producers to quickly send animals to slaughter. With a large-yielding corn crop expected this year, feed prices have been decreasing, which has turned around the outlook for hog profits. â€œThis year, the hog outlook is almost the opposite of what it was last year,â€? Hurt said. â€œFeed prices, especially corn, have been falling sharply. The hog outlook is profitable, so producers are more likely to be retaining or building the breeding herd and weights are expected to increase as producers hold onto market hogs longer to gain profits on every pound.â€?

The most recent hog numbers available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, from the September Hogs and Pigs Report, showed that hog inventories are unchanged to somewhat larger compared to a year ago. â€œYet slaughter in recent weeks has been very low, seemingly indicating a divergence from USDAâ€™s reading,â€? Hurt said. Between mid-August and the end of September, slaughter rates dropped by an average of more than 5 percent and weekly slaughter rates have been down anywhere from 3 to 10 percent. One explanation for the perceived difference in USDAâ€™s inventory numbers and slaughter rates could be related to animal deaths from the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, or PEDV. The USDA doesnâ€™t track PEDV deaths, so Hurt said those numbers arenâ€™t known for certain and it could be several months before hog markets are able to sort out the effects of the virus. Another explanation for seemingly low slaughter rates could be attributed to the way the industry and markets evaluate herd numbers with year-toyear comparisons. Hogs went to market at higherthan-normal rates in 2012 because high feed prices meant the cost of production was higher than producers could sustain. â€œWhat is being viewed as a very low slaughter in recent weeks might be due to an aberration in the slaughter numbers a year ago,â€? Hurt said. â€œThe unusually high slaughter in the late-summer of 2012 was being driven by the drought. Record-high feed prices and large anticipated

Pork producer to speak to animal science students WATERLOO â€” DeKalb High School students will hear how are farmers using innovation and technology to grow healthier food and the impact food, animal care and the environment on Thursday, Oct. 17, when Rebecca Schroeder of Whiteshire Hamroc in Albion speaks to the animal science class. Titled â€œModern Animal Agriculture and Pork Production,â€? the talk by Schroeder will highlight how ongoing advancements in agricultural science are helping farmers raise better food while using fewer natural resources than ever before. â€œFarmers who raise pigs have been able to make great progress in animal health, food safety and protecting the environment,â€? said Schroeder. â€œAnd farmers know they must always keep learning and working to get better at what they do.â€? Farmers now use 41 percent less water and 78 percent less land to raise pigs than they did 50 years ago, she said. â€œModern barns, a focus on nutrition and animal care mean pigs live healthier lives than ever before,â€? said Schroeder. â€œAnd, healthy pigs mean healthy food. For example, pork tenderloin today is as lean as a skinless chicken breast and is certified by the American Heart Association as a heart-healthy food. Iâ€™d like to thank DeKalb High School for giving me an opportunity to share with these students what farmers are doing to make sure safe and healthy food gets to their dinner table today and in the future.â€? Schroeder is one of more than 3,000 pork producers in Indiana. She said Indianaâ€™s pork industry contributes more than $3 billion to the stateâ€™s economy each year. losses provided a grave outlook for the industry, and some producers began to adjust.â€? Those adjustments included an increase in sow slaughter and, in some cases, total-herd liquidation a year ago. Now that the outlook has improved, breeding herd expansion has likely started and hogs are being held to higher weights. These factors mean that fewer animals are headed to market right now and prices have strengthened. â€œGiven low slaughter numbers, cash prices of

hogs have been sharply higher than in the same period in 2012 when they averaged $55 per live hundredweight,â€? Hurt said. â€œWith lower slaughter this year, they have averaged about $68 since mid-August.â€? Higher cash hog prices combined with lower feed costs are the important drivers for a profitable outlook over the next 12 months. Hurt said eastern Corn Belt live-hog prices are expected to average in the mid-$60s in the final quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.

Poor corn stalks reported WEST LAFAYETTE â€” Stalk health is poor in many Midwestern cornfields, meaning growers might need to take a â€œtriageâ€? approach when deciding which fields to harvest first, says Purdue Extension agronomist Bob Nielsen. Drought conditions during corn grain fill caused much of the affected corn

a combine difficult and ultimately lead to yield loss. â€œThere are a lot of fields vulnerable to storms, so growers need to prioritize the health of their fields for harvest,â€? Nielsen said. â€œWhen we start harvesting corn in earnest, we need to get the weakest fields out the earliest.â€? While stalk breakage is easily seen when scouting fields, identifying stalks prone to lodging can be harder. The best way to identify compromised stalks is to pinch the lower stalk internodes to see if they collapse from the pressure. In some instances, Nielsen said pushing stalks out of the way when scouting is enough to make weak stalks fall over. â€œFields and hybrids at high risk of stalk breakage should be harvested as early as possible to minimize the risk of significant mechanical harvest losses,â€? he said. â€œRecognize that hybrids can vary greatly for late-season stalk quality, even if grown in the same field, due to inherent differences for late-season plant health or resistance against carbohydrate remobilization when stressed during grainfill.â€?

New Jersey fights order to legalize same-sex marriage TRENTON, N.J. — A single judge should not be able to force New Jersey to recognize gay marriage, Gov. Chris Christie’s administration said in a court filing Friday. The argument is included in a brief the state submitted in support of its emergency appeal made a day earlier after a state judge refused to delay her order that New Jersey legalize same-sex marriage as of Oct. 21. “It is in the public interest that such a profound change, if it is to occur, take place not because a single judge — no matter how diligent, thoughtful, and thorough — ordered it, but rather because the Supreme Court, the ultimate arbiter, has deemed it necessary,” the state Attorney General’s Office said in its brief. “To overhaul such an ancient social institution prematurely, precipitously, or in a manner ultimately deemed unnecessary would injure not only the public interest, but the State that represents this interest.” Same-sex marriage has been a political and legal issue in New Jersey for more than a decade, but it’s probably never had the urgency it has now. A group of couples plus the gay rights group Garden State Equality sued in July in an effort to get the state to recognize gay marriages in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that cleared the path for the federal government to deliver marriage benefits to gay couples. Judge Mary Jacobson ruled in their favor last month. Now, the administration of Christie, a Republican and possible 2016 presidential candidate, is appealing both the overall ruling and Jacobson’s decision on Thursday not to delay the due date.

Montana oil site plagued by drugs BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The booming Bakken oil patch that’s given a major boost to U.S. energy production has emerged as a new front in the fight against drug trafficking. Organized crime rings are popping up in the Northern Plains, with traffickers sensing opportunity in the thousands of men and women lured there by the hope of a big paycheck. Law-enforcement officers across the region have teamed up to crack down on the trafficking, netting one of their most significant indictments so far this week — a dozen drug arrests in Montana and four in North Dakota. Authorities say more arrests are in the works as part of investigations conducted through an interagency partnership that will be announced Friday. But with drug offenses, violence and property crimes on the upswing, they face an uphill climb to reduce the spiking crime rate.

German groom forgets bride at gas station BERLIN (AP) — A German couple’s marriage got off to a rocky start when the groom forgot his bride at a highway gas station on the way home from their honeymoon, only noticing she was missing after hours had passed. Police said Friday the couple was heading home to Berlin from France when the man pulled over near the central town of Bad Hersfeld late Thursday to fill up their van. The woman had been sleeping in the back but got up — unbeknownst to the man — to use the toilets and he drove off before she returned. Only after 2 ½ hours on the road did he notice she was gone and called police, who said she was patiently waiting.

THE STAR & THE HERALD REPUBLICAN

Investigators take samples from sand near a part of a missile that was suspected of carrying chemical agents, according to activists, in the country-

side of Ain Terma, Syria. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a watchdog group, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Friday.

Chemical weapons group awarded Nobel Peace Prize BEIRUT (AP) — The watchdog agency working to eliminate the world’s chemical weapons won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a powerful endorsement of the inspectors now on the ground in Syria on a perilous mission to destroy the regime’s stockpile of poison gas. In honoring the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said “recent events in Syria, where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons.” The prize came 10 days after OPCW inspectors started arriving in war-torn Syria to oversee the dismantling of President Bashar Assad’s chemical arsenal. While world leaders and former Nobel laureates

praised the group’s selection, some in Syria lamented that the prize would do nothing to end the bloodshed, most of which is being inflicted with conventional weapons. “The killing is continuing, the shelling is continuing and the dead continue to fall,” said Mohammed al-Tayeb, an activist who helped film casualties after the deadly chemical attack in August that the rebels and the government have blamed on each other. The peace prize, he added, should have gone to “whoever helps the Syrian people get rid of Bashar Assad.” After focusing on such themes as human rights and European unity in recent years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee this time returned to the core purpose of the 112-year-old Nobel

Peace Prize — disarming the world. Founded in 1997, the OPCW had largely worked out of the limelight until this year, when the United Nations called upon its expertise. The OPCW’s selection caught many by surprise. It was widely expected that the peace prize would go to Malala Yousafzai, the 16-yearold Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban last October for championing education for girls. “She is an outstanding woman and I think she has a bright future, and she will probably be a nominee next year or the year after that,” said Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland. The peace prize committee has a tradition of not just honoring past achievements, but encouraging causes or movements that are still unfolding.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The future of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan after the last troops leave at the end of 2014 may depend on whether U.S. officials like Secretary of State John Kerry can allay Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s worries about sovereignty, Pakistan and the safety of Afghan citizens at the hands of Western troops. Kerry began urgent talks Friday with Karzai as an end-of-October deadline loomed for a security deal that would allow American troops to remain in Afghanistan after the NATO-led military mission ends next year. Kerry’s unannounced visit to Kabul comes as talks on the bilateral security agreement have foundered over issues of Afghan sovereignty despite a year of negotiations. Discussions have stalled over Karzai’s demand for American guarantees against future foreign intervention from countries like Pakistan and U.S. demands for any post-2014 residual force to be able to conduct counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations. U.S. officials insist they are optimistic about a deal, but the continuing deadlock leaves it doubtful that any agreement will be reached by the deadline. If no deal is signed, there will be no U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 2014. They said uncertainty caused by the lack of a signed agreement by the deadline would make it more difficult to plan the next phases of withdrawal

from Afghanistan and could erode the resolve of NATO allies that are considering leaving troops there for training. Without the United States on board, it is unlikely that NATO or any of its allies would keep troops in Afghanistan. Germany has already indicated it will not commit the 800 soldiers it has promised. “That’s why we’re pressing,” said one of the officials traveling with Kerry. However, the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly preview Kerry’s discussions with Karzai, stressed that Kerry is not expecting to clinch an agreement during his visit. Instead, the trip, which Kerry and Karzai set up in an Oct. 5 phone call, is meant to build momentum for the negotiators who will continue their talks after Kerry departs, the officials said. The atmosphere surrounding the talks has been soured by recent angry comments from Karzai complaining about the conduct of NATO forces. One possible reason for the complaints could have been the capture of a senior Pakistani Taliban commander by U.S. forces on the same day Kerry and Karzai last spoke. Pakistani intelligence officials, Pakistani Taliban and Afghan officials said Latif Mehsud was arrested by American forces as he was driving along a main highway. Karzai saw the move as an infringement on Afghan sovereignty.

States work to get national parks open SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Obama administration’s willingness to reopen national parks shuttered by the government shutdown came with a big caveat: States must foot the bill with money they likely won’t see again. So far, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Arizona and New York have jumped at the deal. Governors in other states were trying to gauge Friday what would be the bigger economic hit — paying to keep the parks operating or losing the tourist money that flows when the scenic attractions are open. South Dakota and several corporate donors worked out a deal with the National Park Service to reopen Mount Rushmore beginning Monday. Gov. Dennis Daugaard said it will cost $15,200 a day to pay the federal government to run the landmark in the Black Hills. He said he wired four days’ worth of the donations on Friday. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state will pay $61,600 a day to fully fund Park Service personnel and keep the Statue of Liberty open.

Arizona officials said a deal reached Friday will mean visitors should be able to return to Grand Canyon National Park on Saturday. In Utah, federal workers rushed to reopen five national parks for 10 days after the state sent $1.67 million to the U.S. government with the hope of saving its lucrative tourist season. Zion National Park superintendent Jock Whitworth said staff members began opening gates and removing barriers and expected to have the park fully operational Saturday. “This is a practical and temporary solution that will lessen the pain for some businesses and communities in Utah during this shutdown,” Interior Department Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement. It was welcome news for beleaguered shop owners in the small town of Springdale adjacent to Zion. Hotels have been vacant and rental and retail shops have seen sales plummet during the shutdown. “It’s going to be awesome,” said Jenna Milligan of Zion Outfitters, an outdoor gear rental shop.

One dead as truck collides with train CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A logging truck collided Friday with a train carrying passengers on a scenic tour amid peak fall foliage season in the West Virginia mountains, killing one person and injuring 24 people Friday, authorities said. Two of the rail cars turned on their sides. A preliminary toll of more than 60 hurt tallied initially by authorities was subsequently revised downward by a hospital official, Tracy Fath. She told The Associated Press on Friday evening that

dozens brought to a hospital by a school bus were subsequently determined to be unhurt — despite an earlier account from an emergency official who said dozens on the bus had lesser injuries. “We’ve got 24 people who were treated” in the emergency room, Fath said by telephone from Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins. She added that of the 24 treated, three were admitted to the hospital, two in serious condition and one in stable condition.

Visitors to Zion National Park take in the sights after the park opened on a limited basis Friday. Earlier, the Obama administration said it would allow

“A lot of businesses have suffered severely because of the government. I just hope it does stay open through autumn.” In Colorado, officials said a deal had been struck for the state to pay $360,000 to reopen

states to use their own money to reopen some national parks after a handful of governors made the request.

Rocky Mountain National Park for 10 days to allow tourists to reach Estes Park. The visitors are needed to help the town recover from flooding. Just over 400 national parks, recreation areas and monuments — including

such icons as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite — have been closed since Oct. 1 because of the partial government shutdown. More than 20,000 National Park Service employees have been furloughed.

Woman anxious about leaving blanket behind DEAR ABBY: I am 19, and because of some traumatic events in my past, I’m afraid of the dark and sleep with my baby blanket. I went to counseling about it, but eventually stopped because it didn’t help. I haven’t had any real problems as a result of the issue because I live at home and my boyfriend has been supportive in accommodating my needs when I stay with him. Plus, I don’t need my blanket when I’m with him. My concern is about the upcoming semester. I will have to move to the main campus of my university in order to continue my education. This means I’ll be living in a shared dorm. The two times it came up during high school, I was teased mercilessly until something else came along. While I have reached the point where I can go without my blanket for a few nights, any longer

As the disease progresses, a person may experience: • muscle twitching, cramps, stiffness, and muscles that tire easily; • slowed speech that becomes progressively harder to understand; • difficulty breathing and swallowing; choking; • weight loss because of muscle breakdown and poor nutrition caused by problems swallowing; • changes in the way the person walks. Eventually, loss of the ability to walk. There is no cure for ALS. People with the disease live an average of three to five years after symptoms begin.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Former Massachusetts governor Paul Cellucci recently died from complications of ALS. Can you tell me more about this disease? DEAR READER: ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. You may know it as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the famous baseball player who suffered from it. There are many different kinds of brain cells. Some do our thinking, some move our muscles (when the ones that think tell them to), and other brain cells do other things (such as see and hear). ALS primarily causes a slow degeneration of the nerve cells that control muscle movements. As a result, people with ALS gradually lose the ability to control their muscles. In people with ALS, the capacity to think and remember things is affected only in fairly subtle ways, and may not be affected at all. ALS does not usually cause

and it starts to get to me. I don’t want to have problems when I move to the main campus because I’m already going to stand out for moving in the middle of the year, but I don’t know how to keep training myself to DEAR give up my ABBY blanket. — STILL SCARED DEAR Jeanne Phillips STILL SCARED: You might not have to. I have a suggestion that might be helpful, but it would require having your blanket converted into a “huggie pillow.” That way you can still sleep with it but it would no longer resemble a baby blanket.

Riluzole (Rilutek) is the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ALS. It can prolong survival in some people. Medications may help to manage symptoms of ALS; pain medications and muscle relaxants may help with painful muscle tightness. Mechanical devices can make self-care easier for people with ALS. Examples include dressing aids and special utensils for eating. A cane or walker may help with walking. Patients can consider using a mechanical respirator if they become unable to breathe on their own. Artificial ventilation can help some patients survive for years, but many patients choose not to be kept alive under these conditions.
