Death case charges pending BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Two new charges and two potential sentence enhancers were approved Monday against a Jimmerson Lake man charged with murder. Mark Zachery Hines, 28, is charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the July 7 shooting death of Ruben Sanchez, 29.

In a pretrial conference Monday morning in Steuben Circuit Court, Judge Allen Wheat approved the filing of Count III — Class A misdemeanor carrying a handgun without a license — along with an accompanying Count IIIA, carrying a handgun without a license with a felony conviction within 15 years, a Class C felony. Class C felonies carry up to an eight-year prison sentence.

Murder carries up to a 65-year sentence and the conspiracy to commit murder charge is a Class A felony, punishable by up to 50 years in prison. In addition to Count III, Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Musser filed two counts of habitual offender. Filed as Counts IV and V against Hines, they correspond to both the murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges.

Local group moves meeting, offices due to federal shutdown

Indy woman pleads to cancer scam INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis woman has agreed to plead guilty to forgery for collecting nearly $1,500 in donations by falsely claiming her 10-year-old son had cancer. The Indianapolis Star reports 33-year-old Stephanie Weddle will face up to four years in community corrections under the plea deal. Prosecutors agreed to drop a second forgery count and a theft charge. Weddle also must make restitution. Prosecutors say she collected $1,250 raised by a teacher and never paid $216 to a youth baseball group for T-shirts and wrist bands earmarked to raise money. A police detective who happened to coach the boy in baseball became suspicious because the boy did not show signs of having gone through radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Weddle later admitted to police the boy was never diagnosed with cancer.

ANGOLA — This week’s Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District Board meeting will be held in the Steuben Community Center instead of the district office, due to the federal government shutdown. The Soil and Water Conservation District, which is a state agency that helps provide conservation resources for area property owners and farmers, is temporarily housed on the third floor of the Steuben Community Center, 317 S. Wayne St., Angola, because it shares offices with local offices of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is shutdown. The board meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. following an executive session set for 5 p.m. During the executive session, the board will be doing interviews for the position of resource conservationist in the Angola office.

National Public Lands Day Pokagon’s first National Public Lands Day program was considered a success, officials say. Seventeen people hiked from the Pokagon Spring Shelter to Trail 8 of Bluebird Hills, collected prairie seeds and enjoyed a beautiful first Saturday of fall on Sept. 28. Then participants carpooled to nearby Trine State Recreation Area and scattered the seeds on a new hillside from the recently constructed new entrance road. Pokagon State Park crews, who also share some duties at Trine State Rec, have been working to prepare public spaces with natural plantings for the eventual opening of the new property. A soft opening of the property is being planned yet this fall. The dedication ceremony for the facility has yet to be announced to the public.

Steuben ponders HR position BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Steuben County Commissioners agreed to appoint a committee to work with a similar body from LaGrange County to explore the possibility of hiring a shared human resources person. The decision followed a lengthy discussion with department heads who said there was a definite need to have someone on staff who has human resources expertise. It was also mentioned that

the need was imminent because the county is currently involved in a federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation over the recent firing of an employee. The idea for a shared HR person came from Commissioner Loretta Smart, who started the discussion with LaGrange County officials. However, Commissioner Ron Smith and others said Steuben County needed its own HR person. “I still believe we should

Judge: Plea bargain too lenient Man to remain in Steuben County Jail on pending drug case BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — An Angola man with a lengthy criminal record will remain in Steuben County Jail through the beginning of next year. Monday morning, Judge William Fee rejected a plea bargain presented in a drug case pending against Michael A. Traster, 29, saying it was too lenient. It was a fixed-term agreement for an admission to possession of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, a Class B felony. Traster is also charged with Class D felony possession of a legend drug or precursor and misdemeanor

possession of paraphernalia. He was arrested in March 2012 at the computer lab at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County on a warrant for violating his probation, at which time the alleged illegal items were found on his person. On Dec. 12, 2012, Fee allowed Traster’s release from Steuben County Jail on his own recognizance to enroll at Serenity House, an Auburn halfway house for addicted people. The court’s order was that if he was refused, he was to return to Steuben County Jail. In early June, Traster was arrested for failure to appear. On July 29 in

Steuben Superior Court, he entered his guilty plea, with a sentencing hearing set for Monday. According to a pre-sentence investigation prepared by Steuben County Probation Department, Traster left the halfway house and did not enroll, then chose not to return to the jail as directed. “I’m not going to make no excuses,� said Traster. He was told there was no bed available at the halfway house, he said. He left and did not report to jail or probation. Fee said he would not again offer Traster a chance for substance abuse help, which was provided through

the plea agreement before the court. With the rejection of the plea bargain, Traster’s court-appointed attorney James Burns reinstated a plea of not guilty and a pretrial conference was set for Feb. 10. A jury trial is on the court calendar for Feb. 10. Then, Burns was removed from the case at Traster’s request. Burns concurred, saying that the client-attorney relationship had been severely damaged due to Traster’s “misrepresentations of myself to the court.� Public defender Anthony Kraus was assigned to the case.

Briefs • White diamond sells for $30.6 million HONG KONG (AP) — A white diamond the size of a small egg sold for $30.6 million at a Hong Kong auction Monday night, although a blue diamond that was the night’s other highlight with a $19 million estimate failed to sell. Two phone bidders competed for the 118-carat white diamond from Africa in six minutes of measured bidding until one dropped out in the Sotheby’s jewelry auction, part of fall sales of art and collectibles by the firm and its rivals. The twice-yearly ritual in the southern Chinese city draws wealthy collectors from mainland China and other Asian countries and has made the city one of the world’s busiest auction hubs. The “flawless” white oval diamond, mined and cut two years ago, was hammered down for 212 million Hong Kong dollars ($27.3 million), just under the low end of the $28 million to $35 million estimate range set by Sotheby’s. Total price including commission came to $30.6 million. That was more than the previous record of $26.7 million for a white diamond set in May at Christie’s in Geneva.

Kerry fills in for Obama at summit BALI, Indonesia (AP) — As some of the world’s heavyweight leaders stood in the spotlight Monday at a regional economic summit, they still managed to be upstaged by who was missing. Even U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry poked fun at himself while standing in for President Barack Obama, saying when he worked to replace a president nearly a decade ago, “this is not what I had in mind.” For Obama, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit was meant to be an opportunity to underline renewed U.S. attention to Asia as a counterbalance to China’s increased economic and military clout. But that message was undermined by the U.S. budget impasse and government shutdown forcing Obama to cancel his trip to Indonesia and three other countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin, often at odds with Obama on foreign policy and other issues, sympathized with the U.S. president’s predicament, calling his decision to stay home “justified.” “You can see the president is busy with the domestic situation of the United States,” he said.

Nobel winners research bubbles in cells NEW YORK (AP) — Two Americans and a German-American won the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday for illuminating how tiny bubbles inside cells shuttle key substances around like a vast and highly efficient fleet of vans, delivering the right cargo to the right place at the right time. Scientists believe the research could someday lead to new medicines for epilepsy, diabetes and other conditions. The work has already helped doctors diagnose a severe form of epilepsy and immune deficiency diseases in children. It has also aided research into the brain and many neurological diseases, and opened the door for biotech companies to make yeast pump out large quantities of useful proteins like insulin. The $1.2 million prize will be shared by James Rothman, 62, of Yale University, Randy Schekman, 64, of the University of California, Berkeley, and Dr. Thomas Sudhof, 57, of Stanford University. They unlocked the mysteries of the cell’s internal transport system, which relies on bubble-like structures called vesicles to deliver substances the cell needs. The fleet of vesicles is sort of the FedEx of the cellular world. When a pancreas cell

releases insulin or one brain cell sends out a chemical messenger to talk to a neighboring one, for example, the vesicles have to deliver those substances to the right places on the cell surface. They also ferry cargo between different parts of a cell. “Imagine hundreds of thousands of people who are traveling around hundreds of miles of streets; how are they going to find the right way? Where will the bus stop and open its doors so that people can get out?” Nobel committee secretary Goran Hansson said. “There are similar problems in the cell.” Jeremy Berg, former director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences in Bethesda, Md., said the prize was long overdue and widely expected because the work was “so fundamental and has driven so much other research.” Berg, who now directs the Institute for Personalized Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, said the work provided the intellectual framework that scientists use to study how brain cells communicate and how other cells release hormones. So the work has indirectly affected research into virtually all neurological disease as well as other diseases, he said. In the 1970s, Schekman discovered a set of genes

Farmers lacking vital market news WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — When Tim Peterson finished planting his 900 acres of winter wheat last week, the usually market-savvy Kansas farmer unexpectedly found himself struggling to make critical marketing decisions without being able to access to vital agricultural reports, casualties of the federal government shutdown. “We have no clue what is going on in the market,” said Peterson, who farms near Monument in northwest Kansas. He typically protects his investment in seed and fertilizer by “locking in” the price his wheat crop will fetch next July with a futures contract that shields farmers from market fluctuations by guaranteeing a price while the crop is in the ground. Farmers and livestock producers use the reports put out by the National Agriculture Statistics Service to make decisions — such as how to price crops, which commodities to grow and

when to sell them — as well as track cattle auction prices. Not only has the NASS stopped putting out new reports about demand and supply, exports and prices, but all websites with past information have been taken down. “It is causing a direct void in information that is immediate,” Peterson said. This worries him far more than his other problem: When will his $20,000 subsidy check from the government, which usually comes in October, arrive? Since the U.S. Agriculture Department’s local farm services offices also have been shuttered, farmers can’t apply for new loans, sign up acreages for government programs or receive government checks for programs they’re already enrolled in. And at a time when researchers who are seeking new wheat varieties and plant traits should be planting experimental plots, all work has ground to a halt.

It is ridiculous that we won’t make peace.” Bar said his caucus was the largest in parliament with some 40 members across the political spectrum. Its aim was to bridge the “huge gap of understanding” between Israelis and Palestinians and provide a grassroots support network for leaders to make peace. But of the 10 lawmakers who journeyed to Ramallah, nine were from the opposition Labor Party. The other came from chief negotiator Tzipi Livni’s centrist Hatnuah Party. Several from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party withdrew following the death of their spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. A previous delegation of Palestinian lawmakers visited the Israeli parliament in August, as part of a similar outreach effort from the other side.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A delegation of Israeli lawmakers paid a rare visit to the West Bank on Monday to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and give an emotional boost to fledgling peace talks that have faced deep skepticism on both sides. Visiting the same compound where Israeli troops once laid siege on late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, the 10 Israeli lawmakers pledged support for the talks that resumed in July after years of stalemate and mutual suspicion. They insisted they were not in Ramallah in place of official negotiations, whose content has remained secret, but rather to give them a “tailwind” of support and stress the urgency of their mission. “We don’t want to believe that this is the last chance (for peace) but it may be the last chance,” said Labor Party lawmaker Hilik Bar, who heads the parliamentary caucus for the resolution of the Arab-Israeli

committee, just as he was suffering from jetlag after returning from a trip to Germany the night before. “I wasn’t thinking too straight. I didn’t have anything elegant to say,” he told The Associated Press. “All I could say was ‘Oh, my God,’ and that was that.” He called the prize a wonderful acknowledgment of the work he and his students had done.

accomplished and developed over many years, if not decades,” Rothman said. Rothman said he lost grant money for the work recognized by the Nobel committee, but he will now reapply, hoping the prize will make a difference in receiving funding. Schekman said he was awakened at 1 a.m. at his home in California by the chairman of the prize

Also in the ’90s, Sudhof identified the machinery that controls when vesicles release chemical messengers from one brain cell that let it communicate with another. “This is not an overnight thing.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The man U.S. Navy SEALs tried to take down in Somalia over the weekend was a Kenyan who had plotted to attack his country’s parliament building and the United Nations headquarters in Nairobi, according to a Kenyan government intelligence report. The pre-dawn, seaside SEAL raid on Saturday targeted Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir, who is also known as Ikrima, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. al-Libi The U.S. troops are not believed to have captured or killed their target. The official insisted on anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to release the information In the internal report by Kenya’s National Intelligence Service, Abdulkadir is listed as the lead planner of a plot sanctioned by al-Qaida’s core leadership in Pakistan to carry out multiple attacks in Kenya in late 2011 and early 2012. The AP has previously reported that those attacks, linked to the Somali Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, were disrupted. The report, which was leaked to AP and other media in the wake of the Sept. 21 terror attack on Nairobi’s Westgate Mall that killed more than 60 people, lists Samantha Lewthwaite — a Briton known in British media as the “White Widow” — as one of several “key actors” in the plot to attack Parliament buildings, the U.N. Office in Nairobi, Kenyan Defense Forces camps and other targets. The plotters also intended to assassinate top Kenyan political and security officials, the report said. Police disrupted that plot.

Students learn about fire safety Angola firefighter T.R. Hagerty talks to first-graders at Ryan Park Elementary School Friday afternoon while firefighter Cory Glasper models full turnout gear used by the department in fighting fires. October is Fire Safety Month and the visit gave children a first-hand look at the firefighters’ tools and trucks and also some lessons

on how to be safe: including stop, drop and roll if you catch on fire. The children have been learning about fire safety over the past month in health class, said first-grade teacher Christina Minick. Students received a coloring book so they could review information with parents at home.

Minstrel show moves to the Steuben Community Center for 2013 show PLEASANT LAKE — The annual minstrel show by the Pleasant Lake Lions Club will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Steuben Community Center, 317 S. Wayne St. This year’s show is titled “Comedy Tonight” and will start at 7 p.m. The

show includes singing, costumes and comedy and is a long-standing tradition by the Pleasant Lake Lions Club. It started in the 1930s and after a nearly 30-year hiatus was picked up again in 1980. A minstrel show has been held every year since 1980, said Lions Club

member Elton Powers. This is the first year the show has been held at the Community Center. It has traditionally been presented at Pleasant Lake Elementary School, and is expected to return to that venue next year. Work on the elementary school stage

hindered planning this year, said Powers, noting that the Community Center has better parking and seating and could be a nice change of pace this year. The show is free with guests asked to give a donation for the Lions’ philanthropic activities.

4-H Junior Leaders meeting Wednesday ANGOLA — Steuben County 4-H members in sixth through 12th grades are invited to a Junior Leaders meeting on Wednesday in the Steuben Community Center, 317 S. Wayne St., starting at 6:30 p.m.

“Junior Leaders is a project in Steuben County that operates similar to a 4-H club,” said Tami Mosier, who heads up the 4-H program through the Steuben County Purdue Cooperative Extension Service. “We try to

‘make the best better’ by conducting community service, and we love to have a good time by hosting social events such as a Christmas potluck, bowling trips, a summer picnic, a year-end completion trip, and more.”

The aim Junior Leaders is to gain leadership and life skills, help at county 4-H events and mentor younger 4-H’ers at the local club level. Details are available from Mosier at 668-1000, ext. 1400.

ANGOLA — Pokagon State Park interpretive naturalist Fred Wooley will be featured in the fall program of the Steuben County Historical Society at the Cyrus and Jennie Cline Memorial House Museum, 313 E.

ANGOLA — The Angola Board of Public Works and Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, Inc. reached agreements at Monday’s meeting on about $900,000 for construction of water and sanitary sewer lines and utility easement. Love’s will pay the cost of both. Oklahoma-based Love’s is building an Angola location on about 90 acres land at a southwest quadrant parcel at U.S. 20 and Interstate 69. Under the reimbursement agreements for water and sewer, Love’s will pay the cost of $521,180 for a sewer line construction and $398,120 for water line construction.

apparently want to see the … shutdown end at the moment, unless he’s able to extract concessions that don’t have anything to do with the budget.” Boehner, in rebuttal, called on Obama to agree to negotiations on changes in the nation’s health care overhaul and steps to curb deficits, the principal GOP demands for ending the shutdown and eliminating the threat of default. “Really, Mr. President. It’s time to have that conversation before our economy is put further at risk,” the Ohio Republican said in remarks on the House floor. Obama said he would talk with the Republicans on those topics or virtually any others. But the White House has said repeatedly the president will not negotiate until the government is fully re-opened and the debt limit has been raised to stave off the nation’s first-ever

default. White House aide Jason Furman told reporters that if Boehner “needs to have some talking point for his caucus that’s consistent with us not negotiating … that’s not adding a bunch of extraneous conditions, of course he’s welcome to figure out whatever talking point he wants that helps him sell something.” The current standoff is the latest in a string of clashes over the past three years between Obama and a House Republican majority that has steered to the right with the rise of the tea party. Most Democrats and many Republicans have assumed the GOP will pay a heavier price for a shutdown than the Democrats, since that was the case in 1996. And a survey released by the Washington Post-ABC said disapproval of Republicans was measured at 70 percent, up from 63 percent a week earlier. Disapproval

of Obama’s role was statistically unchanged at 51 percent. In the Senate, where majority Democrats forced approval of legislation before the shutdown aimed at preventing it, officials said Majority Leader Harry Reid was drafting a bill to raise the current $16.7 trillion debt ceiling before the Oct. 17 deadline when Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said the government will reach its borrowing limit. The measure would allow the government to meet its borrowing needs through the 2014 elections, officials said, although few details were immediately available. Assuming Democratic support, the bill could pass the Senate quickly if Republicans merely vote against it as they press for concessions from the White House. But passage could be delayed until Oct. 17 if the GOP decides to mount a filibuster.

AUBURN — With his own finances in tatters, bills to pay, mounting credit card debt and an expensive lifestyle, a DeKalb County investment adviser stole more than a half-million dollars from clients who were friends, family members and business associates, a DeKalb County court heard Monday. Jarrett Now Jeffrey Jarrett, 36, of the 2600 block of C.R. 56, Auburn, is going to prison for 11 years for his crimes, Judge Monte Brown ordered. Jarrett was taken into custody immediately after his sentencing hearing in DeKalb Superior Court II. His wife broke down in tears and rested her head on a railing separating the public gallery from the rest of the courtroom. Jarrett had pleaded guilty to two counts of theft of more than $100,000, a Class C felony, and two counts of theft, a Class D felony, as part of a plea agreement. In the separate charges, Jarrett admitted to thefts of $10,000, $65,000, $100,000 and $170,000. Three other charges of theft, a Class C felony; forgery, a Class C felony; and theft, a Class D felony, were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. Brown sentenced Jarrett to six years in prison, with four years to serve and two years suspended, on each of the Class C felonies and two years in prison, with 1 1/2 years to serve and six months suspended, on each of the Class D felonies. The sentences will be served consecutively. He also was placed on probation for five years. During Monday’s hearing, Jarrett conceded that between July 2010 and June 2011, he

stole a total of $579,000 from his victims. “Why would you steal $579,000?” asked Jarrett’s attorney, Bradley Kim Thomas. “Well, I never intended I was stealing it,” Jarrett replied. “I thought I could pay it back, and I started Jarrett Financial Services and things were going well the first year and the market crashed. I owed a ton of taxes. Some of the new investments that came in, I got commission taken away … I didn’t know what to do, so I took some people’s money, and I thought I could pay it back before they would need it.” Jarrett said he had office bills to pay, as well as the wages of his secretary. He had a $350,000 loan on his $250,000 home and owed $150,000 in credit card expenses, the court heard. As a financial adviser, Jarrett also had “nice cars,” he added. “When you’re not making money, you spend it pretty quick,” Jarrett said. “I thought I could generate more income. I realized that I couldn’t, and that’s when I stopped talking to my clients.” DeKalb County Prosecutor ClaraMary Winebrenner asked Jarrett what he would tell his victims who still are owed money. Jarrett broke down in tears and turned toward three of the victims who were in the courtroom. Through sobs, he told them, “I just hope and pray for your forgiveness, that I want to pay you back, nothing more. I just want to make you whole again. I just hope and pray that you will forgive me. I’m sorry that I stole your money.” Three of the victims in the cases in which Jarrett pleaded guilty also testified Monday. All said they would like their money returned, but that some period of incarceration also would be appropriate. One of the victims was an Amish construction worker who had worked on Jarrett’s house. Another was a family

member related to Jarrett by marriage. The third was a good friend of one of Jarrett’s relatives. The fourth victim, who did not attend Monday’s hearing, was the widow of a retired judge. She and her husband had done business with Jarrett in the past. “I’m curious, Jeff. Three of these people appear to be related or very good friends,” Brown said. “Why friends and relatives?” “When I stole their money, I was thinking it was a loan, so I thought I could pay them back,” Jarrett replied. “I thought those people trusted me, so I could pay them back easily … I thought there wouldn’t be a lot of questions asked.” One of the victims — a single mother of two — described to the court the financial hardship she now faces as a result of the theft. She said she often eats peanut butter and jelly so she can provide better meals for her children. Recently her grandmother sold jewelry so that the woman could have gasoline money, she added. The woman spoke of her humiliation and embarrassment at having to rely on others for assistance. Jarrett’s father, Steve Jarrett, testified Monday that he and his wife formed a trucking company in 2012 as a way of earning money to pay restitution to Jarrett’s victims. Jeffrey Jarrett is the truck driver, and the company cannot operate without him, his father said. Jarrett’s father offered a restitution proposal that would pay $125,000 down and monthly payments of $2,495 for 10 years. Winebrenner said the offer is not enforceable, and accepting it would be relying only on a promise. Brown went on to enter restitution judgments of $150,000, $54,000, $107,500 and $20,000. Jarrett was fined $10,000 in each case, which will be suspended if he pays restitution.

Steuben County Economic Development Corp. figures estimate Love’s figures to make a $54 million investment in real property, add $1.1 million in new personal property, while adding a payroll of $900,000 to the area. Love’s was founded in 1964 in Watonga, Okla. It has more than 290 retail sites in 39 states, employs 10,000 people and has annual revue of more than $17 billion, its website said. There are 11 Love’s retail sites in Indiana.

City officials said Love’s will now want to move forward on securing the water and sewer line before cold weather. The site is currently in the legal process of being annexed into the city from Steuben County. The site is in the county jurisdiction; it lies just outside Angola’s two-mile jurisdiction. Once annexation is complete, Love’s will no longer have to seek Steuben County approval for its site plan. The annexation is expected to be complete in February 2014. Love’s plans a large convenience store, fuel station, four or five showers for truck drivers, a gift shop, truck and car parking and a Hardee’s restaurant.

County Communications department head. Smart said having a shared HR person would take care of training needs of the county. “If we would go that route it would take care of our employee training,” Smart said. There appeared to be division over the shared versus exclusively Steuben HR person among commissioners. After the discussion,

bringing in a person to conduct some legal training at a cost of $1,600 was approved on a 2-0 vote. Smart didn’t vote. Steuben County’s part of the committee studying a shared HR person with LaGrange County will include five people, Smart, Auditor Pam Coleman and three members of the Steuben County Council or its designates. Smith and Commissioner Jim Crowl said the need was

so great that the committee had to report its findings at the Oct. 21 meeting of the commissioners. Smart said LaGrange County had already committed budget dollars to an HR person for next year. Steuben County has nothing in its 2014 budget for a human resources person. In other business, commissioners opened bids on reconstruction of the Steuben County Campground at Crooked

Lake. The project, which received bids that ranged for part of the work at just more than $326,000 to more than $1.327 million, was questioned by contractors wanting to do the work. One bidder, Tod Schlachter of Advanced Rehabilitation, Bryan, Ohio, said the project engineer would not release printed details about the project, which Schlachter contended were public records.

HINES: State, defense have not been able to reach a plea agreement FROM PAGE A1

for Nov. 18. A final pretrial conference is scheduled for Oct. 28 at 8 a.m. Musser and Hines’ court-appointed attorney Anthony Kraus have been in negotiations, according to court documents, but have been unable to reach a

resolution to the case. “During the course of the negotiations, the state informed defendant’s counsel that it intended to file said counts if an agreement could not be reached,” said documents filed Thursday by Musser. Hines is being held in

Steuben County Jail without bail. He was arrested along with Tyler Lee Biggs, 18, of Jimmerson Lake, shortly after Sanchez’ shooting was reported to authorities. Hines allegedly shot Sanchez three times outside the Jimmerson Lake residence where Sanchez

lived with his girlfriend. The .40-caliber pistol believed to be the murder weapon was allegedly supplied by Biggs. Biggs, who has retained counsel at a Fort Wayne law firm, is set for a final pretrial conference on Nov. 25 in Circuit Court. His jury trial is set for Dec. 16-20.

LOUIS ....................................2 PITTSBURGH...........................1

Briefly • Rays stay alive ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays are still afloat in the AL division series. Jose Lobaton hit a solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning into the giant fish tank beyond the center-field wall, and Tampa Bay staved off elimination once again by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-4 Monday night. The Rays cut Boston’s lead in the best-of-five series to 2-1. Game 4 is tonight at Tropicana Field, with Jake Peavy starting for the Red Sox against Jeremy Hellickson. Tampa Bay took a win-orgo-home game for the fourth time in nine days. The Rays did it with an unlikely stroke as Lobaton, who came off the bench late in the game, connected against Red Sox closer Koji Uehara. “It’s unbelievable. It’s something you can’t explain,” Lobaton said. “We never give up. We’re going to keep fighting.” Back home after two weeks on the road, the Rays gave a sellout crowd of 33,675 little to cheer until Evan Longoria homered on his 28th birthday. Longoria’s three-run shot off Clay Buchholz with two outs in the fifth rallied Tampa Bay to a 3-all tie. Pinch-hitter Delmon Young, who has a penchant for driving home key runs in October, put the Rays ahead 4-3 with an RBI grounder in the eighth.

Barons in 2A sectional final 16th-ranked DeKalb plays Leo Wednesday

Lions end EN’s season

BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — Play a sound game fundamentally, the rest will take care of itself. That was the mindset for Class 2A No. 16 DeKalb in Monday’s boys sectional soccer meeting with Angola. “That was our goal,” explained DeKalb coach Jed Freels. “You know you have to be sound fundamentally, and we did that very well.” The Barons scored a goal in each half in Monday’s sectional semifinal with Angola on the way to a 2-0 victory. DeKalb will get a chance to defend its sectional championship on Wednesday when the Barons face Leo at 6 p.m. “Leo is also fundamentally strong, two fundamentally strong teams going against each other,” Freels said. “We’re excited, it’s been a big season. We want a chance to get back to regionals.” Leo and DeKalb will play for the second time this season. The Barons won 1-0 in a meeting on Sept. 18. “We didn’t want it to end here,” said Baron junior Brennen Cochran, who scored one of the DeKalb goals. “Now we’ve just got to focus on Leo, they’re a good club.” Cochran, who has more than 100 career goals, put the Barons up 1-0 when he scored on a penalty kick 23 minutes into the game. “The first goal means a lot, it pumped us up,” Cochran said. The margin was still 1-0 at the half. Fourteen minutes into the second half Trey Beachy struck again. That turned out to be all the Barons needed. “Our defense did a phenominal job,” Freels said. “The defense shut out a team that we played last Thursday.” Angola closes the season at 7-10. “The expectation was to win,” said Angola coach Dusan Friga. “I couldn’t ask for more from the kids and can’t wait until next year.”

WATERLOO — When it comes to sectional soccer play, scoring first and grabbing a firm hold on the momentum in the early-going is a big key. East Noble accomplished that in Monday’s first-round boys sectional soccer match with Leo, but that turned out to be the only goal the Lions allowed as Leo came away with a 2-1 victory to end the East Noble season. Leo moves on to face DeKalb in Wednesday’s championship match, which is set for 6 p.m. at DeKalb High School. “They’re a great team,” Leo coach Jim LaBorde said of the Barons. “We know we’re in for a battle. We’ll be up for the challenge.” The squads met on Sept. 18 in regular season play with DeKalb taking a 1-0 win. Both of Leo’s goals against East Noble on Monday came in the second half. “I told the players at halftime they had to pick up their intensity, told them if they didn’t want to go home we had to pick up the effort,” LaBorde said. Trailing 1-0, Leo tied the game seven minutes into the second half when Jacob Robbins connected. The score was deadlocked at 1-1 until teammate Mason Wills

Power boost pushes A’s past Tigers DETROIT (AP) — The Oakland Athletics have beaten Detroit with both pitching and power. And that’s left the Tigers on the brink of elimination — and simmering with frustration. Brandon Moss, Josh Reddick and Seth Smith homered for the Athletics, who chased Anibal Sanchez in the fifth inning Monday and defeated the Tigers 6-3 for a 2-1 AL division series lead. Moss broke a 3-all tie in the fifth with a solo shot, and Smith’s two-run drive later in the inning ended Sanchez’s day. It was an impressive offensive show after the teams split two taut, low-scoring games in Oakland. This one got a little tense in the ninth, too, when A’s closer Grant Balfour and Detroit hitter Victor Martinez started shouting at each other after a foul ball, causing benches and bullpens to empty. “I don’t know what happened. Honestly, I know that Balfour is fiery on the mound — he’s yelling a lot and spitting everywhere,”

Moss said. “It’s who he is. You know, sometimes it can ruffle the feathers of other teams.” The A’s aren’t worried about making friends, especially after losing to the Tigers in a five-game division series last year. Oakland can close out this series Tuesday and reach the AL championship series for the first time since 2006 — when the Athletics were swept by the Tigers. Oakland will send rookie Dan Straily to the mound against Detroit’s Doug Fister. “There’s no tricks. We’ve got to win the game tomorrow to try to extend it to Game 5. It’s that simple,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “We ran into another situation where we didn’t put enough runs on the board and an excellent starting pitcher didn’t have a very good day.” Sanchez, the American League’s ERA leader, allowed six runs — five earned — and eight hits in 4 1-3 innings. Smith has homered off Sanchez more than any other player, having now done

it twice in the regular season and twice in the playoffs. There was activity in the Detroit bullpen before Smith’s homer Monday, and he made the Tigers pay for sticking with the struggling Sanchez. “Sometimes he starts out a little

slow, you figure he’s going to get it going,” Leyland said. “Today he just really didn’t get it going. He made a couple of real bad pitches the last inning he was out there to Moss and Smith.” Jarrod Parker gave up three runs in five innings for Oakland.

Garrett tops Cougars in sectional opener BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — Members of the Garrett boys soccer team didn’t let the result against Central Noble one week ago get to their heads in preparation for Monday’s Class 1A Sectional 38 showdown. Just seven days after the Railroaders beat the Cougars by seven goals, Garrett was on the front foot for the final 60 minutes in Monday’s contest, a 7-1 victory for the host school. The Railroaders (11-3-1) move on to play Hamilton in Wednesday’s sectional semifinal. “We kind of had to go into it thinking they weren’t one of our old opponents. We thought about it as they’re the best team in the state because everybody’s got the same record,” said Garrett senior Dayton Sweet. “We just took it as a game we had to go into thinking these guys are going to be tough, and have a better chance of finishing it.” Garrett has now won six straight matches and eight of

nine overall. Garrett’s two big guns, seniors Karsten Cooper and Sweet, didn’t disappoint. Both scored two goals apiece and Sweet had two assists in the win. Fellow classmate Blake Western also had a hand in the victory, matching Cooper and Sweet with two goals apiece. “We started to wear down their defense, so we started to play in a wider space and make them run more. It kind of came in our favor when it mattered the most,” Sweet said. “I think all of us work together. I can’t put the credit on just one of us. If I didn’t have my teammates, I wouldn’t be able to do what I did.” Sweet now has 19 goals and four assists on the year, and Cooper has 17 goals and six assists. Central Noble coach Brian Rexroad knew the challenges the Cougars would face, especially

in defending Sweet and Cooper. In the match a week ago, Sweet had four goals and Cooper two goals. “They always do a good job,” Rexroad said. “I hate to tell my team to focus on a couple of guys because as soon as we do that, somebody else opens up. They’re great players, but it’s one of those things where you’re happy to see them go.” Central Noble (3-12) nearly took the lead 14 minutes in when Connor McCoy set up Alex Cole from close range, but Cole’s shot was saved by goalkeeper Reiley Pugh. The Railroaders would grab the lead in the 21st minute courtesy of Cooper, who made a nifty run through the Cougar defense, dribbling about 2/3 of the way down the pitch and eventually sliding a shot past keeper Zachary Rexroad for the 1-0 advantage. Garrett scored again just before halftime on a goal by Sweet to take a 2-0 lead into the break. SEE GARRETT, PAGE B2

KNIGHTS: ENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 seniors played final prep match

Cards force Game 5 PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Wacha heard the chants. Then again, when 40,000 people clad in black scream your name relentlessly for the better part of three hours, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of hard to miss. The goal was to rattle the St. Louis rookie, remind him that 22-year-old pitchers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t built to withstand the pressure of an elimination game. One problem. Wacha doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really do rattled. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do pressure, either. The louder PNC Park grew, the more unhittable Wacha became. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of like it,â&#x20AC;? Wacha said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of gives me adrenaline. I kind of use it in my favor.â&#x20AC;? And the Pittsburgh Pirates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention anyone else he might face in the postseason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind ofâ&#x20AC;? need to get used to it. Wacha took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and the Cardinals showed off their October poise, edging the Pirates 2-1 Monday to force a winner-take-all Game 5 in the NL division series. St. Louis is 7-1 over the last three years with its season on the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you take high talent and high character people that are motivated and support each other, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up,â&#x20AC;? Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough combination.â&#x20AC;? One the Pirates are still trying to master. Pedro Alvarez hit his third home run of the series, connecting with one out in the eighth for Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only hit in Game 4. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for the Pirates to advance to the NL championship series for the first time in 21 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we play five,â&#x20AC;? star center fielder Andrew McCutchen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready for the fifth one.â&#x20AC;? The Pirates werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite ready for the fourth one, not with the way Wacha was dealing. He walked two and struck out nine before giving

way to the bullpen in the eighth. Matt Hollidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run homer off Charlie Morton in the sixth was all the offense required on a day the Cardinals tossed the first one-hitter in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lengthy postseason history. Trevor Rosenthal worked around a two-out walk in the ninth, retiring McCutchen on a popup to shallow center field for his first postseason save. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good pitch for him,â&#x20AC;? McCutchen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish it got a little more of the barrel. It would have been a great story.â&#x20AC;? Instead, a taut series will head back to Busch Stadium. Game 5 will be Wednesday, with ace Adam Wainwright starting for the NL Central champion Cardinals and rookie Gerrit Cole going for the wild-card Pirates. Both pitchers won last week in the NLDS. The Cardinals finished with only three hits, and that was enough. Holliday got two of them, including his homer in the sixth after Morton walked big-hitting Carlos Beltran to start the inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could go back and look at pitches over and over again and second guess

yourself,â&#x20AC;? Morton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where that pitch was. It was outer third somewhere, thigh-down and he went out and got it, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong.â&#x20AC;? So was the 6-foot-6 kid on the one, the one barely a year removed from a standout college career at Texas A&M. Wacha didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permit a runner until walking Russell Martin leading off the sixth. Wacha nearly no-hit the Washington Nationals in his last start on Sept. 24, surrendering only an infield single by Ryan Zimmerman with two outs in the ninth. Working so quickly the Pirates never had time to get settled, he breezed through Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revamped lineup like he was in extended spring training. Mixing his fastball and changeup masterfully, Wacha overwhelmed the Pirates from the moment he stepped onto the mound. Alvarez got the fans at PNC Park roaring with his homer, and Wacha followed by walking Martin on four pitches. Carlos Martinez relieved and Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina made a key play, throwing out pinch-runner Josh Harrison after a botched hit-and-run attempt.

slipped a shot past East Noble keeper Kaleb Williams with eight minutes remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a couple of freak shots that went in,â&#x20AC;? said East Noble coach Rob Berkley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kept pressing and found a way to get it done.â&#x20AC;? The Knights controlled much of the first half. With 6:27 left in the opening half the Knights struck when Kam Wible lofted a penalty kick into the box with Kyle Bloom knocking the ball in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kam played a great ball,â&#x20AC;? Berkley said. The Knights will lose 12 seniors to graduation. They include Williams, Wible, Bloom, Aaron Berkey, Aleksander Foltyniak, Victor Gonzalez, Oscar Pita, Jesse Maley, Evan Strack, Matt Patton, Abdelraham Afify and Andrew Kretler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This senior class won 42 games, the most for any senior class and had three straight winning seasons,â&#x20AC;? Berkley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good group of guys.â&#x20AC;?

The Railroaders put the match away in the first 10 minutes of the second half, scoring three goals in six minutes to take a 5-0 lead. In the 44th minute, Western volleyed home a pass from Sweet to make it 3-0, and three minutes later Chris Colby put in a shot off a rebound from a Cooper shot to make it 4-0. Three minutes after that, Western scored again off a long-throw in for a 5-0 lead. It was Colbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal of the year, and Western had six goals entering Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like Central Nobleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come over here and just quit,â&#x20AC;? said Garrett coach Doug Klopfen-

IU hopes to change course on the road INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana is taking a different tack through the rugged Big Ten. Instead of getting detoured by perennial powerhouses, the Hoosiers are ready to take on those challenges. Instead of being distracted by outside expectations, they have focused on meeting their own goals. And before making a postseason bowl trip, the Hoosiers know they must start winning some games outside

Indiana. The long road back to contention begins Saturday at Michigan State. “I actually like being on the road sometimes because there are less distractions,” coach Kevin Wilson said Monday at his weekly news conference. “You’ve got to communicate better in the huddle and, fortunately, when you’re on the road, there’s not a lot of noise when they’re on offense, so it’s

not as big a deal for our defense.” Wilson’s preference hasn’t been reflected in his record. Indiana is just 1-7 in league road games since Wilson arrived in 2011 with the only win coming last October at Illinois. That victory snapped an 18-game losing streak in Big Ten games played outside Indiana. Hoosiers fans have grown accustomed to those sorts of numbers over the years.

Since 2000, Indiana is 7-45 in Big Ten road games, going 0-4 seven times and 1-3 five times. The only time Indiana won more than one conference road game during those 13 seasons was 2001 when the Hoosiers went 2-2. At Michigan State, the Hoosiers are an absurd 2-15 since 1970. Indiana has a chance to change that perception if it can reclaim the Old Brass Spittoon for the first time since 2006.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Colts back in AFC South lead INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Antoine Bethea won four division championships in his first six seasons with the Colts. Being back on top of the AFC South this season feels every bit as good. After spending two years chasing Houston in the AFC South, the new-look Colts are suddenly in control of the division chase for the first time since Andrew Luck replaced Peyton Manning. “I think that’s what everybody’s goal is, to be that head honcho in their division. The first couple years here, that’s what we were,” Bethea told reporters on a conference call Monday. “They had to come through us to win the division. The past couple years, it’s been Houston. For us to be up there at the top, that means a lot for this team.” Bethea has witnessed just about every possible scenario since the Colts drafted him in 2006. He’s played on two AFC championship teams and won a Super Bowl. He’s been to two Pro Bowls, lined up next to the NFL’s defensive player of the year in 2007 and across from the NFL’s only four-time MVP. He helped the Colts chase perfection in 2009, avoid the dubious distinction of becoming the second 0-16 team in league history in 2011 and was a cornerstone in Indy’s historic nine-game improvement from 2011 to 2012. Now, Bethea is part of another milestone — the first Colts’ team in nearly 17 years to have sole possession of a division lead without Manning calling the shots. The last time it happened was the week of Oct. 13, 1996 when the Colts were still part of the AFC East, Manning was at Tennessee and Jim Harbaugh was Indy’s starting quarterback. Veterans like Bethea understand this is no time to celebrate. They have to work relentlessly during this next five-week stretch to stay ahead of Tennessee (3-2) and two-time defending champion Houston (2-3). Indy (4-1) visits San Diego Monday, then hosts unbeaten Denver in Manning’s return to Indy. They’ll have two weeks to prepare for a trip to Houston on Nov. 3, and visit Tennessee eleven days later.

Flyers make coaching change PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Despite a preseason vote of confidence from ownership, the Philadelphia Flyers fired coach Peter Laviolette Monday after an 0-3 start. The Flyers made the announcement at a morning news conference, less than a day after Philadelphia dropped a 2-1 decision to the Carolina Hurricanes. Assistant Craig Berube, in his seventh season with the organization after also playing here, will take over as coach. He is the Flyers’ 18th coach in team history. “Just because I’ve been in the organization a long time doesn’t mean I’m going to do the same thing other coaches did,” he said. “I’m not them. I have my own thoughts. I have my own way of how I want to coach.” Laviolette dealt with rumors of his firing last season, a year in which the Flyers missed the playoffs after the lockout shortened the campaign. It was the only season in which he failed to make the postseason in Philadelphia. He was hired early in the 2009 season after John Stevens was fired, and led the Flyers on an improbable run to the 2010 Stanley Cup finals, where they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games. Laviolette won the Stanley Cup coaching the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006 and previously coached the New York Islanders. He received a vote of confidence from Flyers chairman Ed Snider shortly before the season started. “As far as Peter is concerned, last year was an anomaly,” he said. “He’s been a very good coach for us, he’s been a good coach in this league.” Snider, who founded the Flyers, changed his message on Monday. “I thought our training camp, quite frankly, was one of the worst training camps I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I’m not talking about wins or losses. There was nothing exciting. Nobody shined. Nobody looked good. I couldn’t point to one thing that I thought was a positive. Unfortunately, my worries were realized.” Laviolette signed a two-year extension last season that was set to take him through 2014-15. He’s just the second coach in Flyers history to coach parts of five seasons.

Raiders release QB Matt Flynn ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders released quarterback Matt Flynn on Monday, just six months after bringing him in to be the starter. Oakland acquired Flynn in April from Seattle for a 2014 fifth-round draft pick and a conditional pick in 2015. The Raiders also reworked Flynn’s contract to give him $6.5 million in guaranteed money this season. But Flynn was beaten out for the starting job in the preseason by Terrelle Pryor and then fell to third string behind undrafted free agent Matt McGloin last week, leading to his eventual release. “It just didn’t work,” coach Dennis Allen said. “Terrelle came in and he took over the job. He’s earned the position that he’s in. So, we just felt like it’s probably best to move on from that.” Sports Illustrated first reported the move. Flynn made two appearances for Oakland (2-3) for all that money. He came in late in a loss at Denver on Sept. 23, after Pryor was knocked out with a concussion, and then started against Washington the following week.

Strong schools, communities will boost incomes Despite all our efforts, Indiana trails far behind national averages in income, according to a new study by Ball State University experts. By Ball State’s measurements, Indiana ranks 40th among the 50 states in personal income, with the average resident receiving $34,042 in income from all sources. Hoosiers have been falling behind gradually since 1980, when Indiana ranked 30th, and 1950, when we ranked 21st. State and local government leaders who have focused on jobs, jobs, jobs in recent years may have succeeded in stopping the free fall, but they haven’t led to significant gains. Outside a few suburban counties near Indianapolis, Chicago and Evansville, the picture looks even worse. The average Hoosier income is equal to the national standard for 1996. In our area, DeKalb County’s average income stands at the U.S. level for 1985, with Steuben County at the 1984 level and Noble County at 1980. Likely due to its high percentage of Amish population, LaGrange County trails the entire state with an income level equal to the U.S. average for 1964. On the bright side, the cost of living in rural Indiana is low. The study finds that living in the Midwest costs 2.9 percent less than the national average. It still should be our goal to start gaining on the rest of the nation in income. So how do we get there? Ball State points out that in tax and regulatory policy, Indiana holds significant advantages over most states. In the past decade, our state leaders have been trying to tax-cut our way to prosperity. The study concludes that education levels play a much bigger role than tax policy in economic growth and personal income levels. Businesses that pay good salaries will sprout in or move to places with talented workers. College degrees play a big part in boosting income. But the Ball State experts believe we can get more for our money by focusing on K-12 education. That advice fits the strategies of new Gov. Mike Pence. It goes along with an event last week in Albion that called attention to good manufacturing jobs that don’t require college degrees. We hear over and over again that the most important talents young people can bring to the job market are a strong work ethic and willingness to learn on the job. Ball State’s experts also suggest that making a community attractive to new residents can improve average incomes by luring people who already possess skills and talents. Following Ball State’s advice will take patience. ‘It is nearly certain that no policy, no matter how ambitious, effective, or wide-reaching, will achieve measurable income goals over the term limit of a governor,” the study says. In short-term thinking, it’s much easier to take immediate credit for a tax cut. We will need leaders — and voters — with long-term vision to invest in the productive strategies of building strong schools and communities.

Letters to The Editor • Kendallville resident is grateful for the big smile on her face To the editor: Too many letters sent are either preaching, proselytizing or picking at someone or something. Sorry folks, there will be none of that here. Plain and simple, this is a happy letter to say I met three beautiful women this weekend, and I am a better person for it. One, Lisa, I knew through a relative and online but hadn’t yet met in person and the other two ladies were complete strangers until we met at Sunday’s scrapbook convention in Fort Wayne. I didn’t catch their names but one is from Avilla (Betty, I think) and the other is from Garrett. I so enjoyed their company and their generosity in spirit and camaraderie that I just want to say, “Thank you, ladies!” It’s so good nowadays to meet like-minded, fun people. I thoroughly enjoyed your company, all three of you, and to the scrapbook ladies, I hope you had as much fun as I did. I’m sure you did, as I noticed your car was still there when I left. I got a kick out of both of you and certainly hope we meet again. And, I’m so glad your previous days’ car accident ended as well as it did.

God bless all of you for putting a big smile on my face.

China is more cautious than bold BY TOM PLATE

I used to find flying on a Chinese carrier a dreadful experience. No more. A recent nonstop from Los Angeles to Guangzhou on China Eastern was as smooth as silk; and the return to Los Angeles from Beijing on Air China was a delight (OK, true — it was Business Class both ways). Friendly skies indeed! What has happened, you see, is that in modernizing and globalizing China is becoming increasingly competitive. It’s not the same old People’s Republic of China that could afford to live by its own rules and say to the rest of the world go fly a kite for all we care. The overall national upgrade applies also to the caliber of its international diplomacy. Top entrants to the Chinese foreign service, whose schooling might well include a degree from a place like Princeton or Singapore’s National University, are qualitatively competitive with their best counterparts from the foreign service systems of Japan or Korea or … well … the U.S., too. (And, generally, their level of spoken English is amazingly good.) But the Chinese historical experience is an awesome span, and one dimension not always recognized is that, notwithstanding its economic renaissance (not to mention its territorial quarrels with immediate neighbors) it retains a culture that can be strikingly cautious. Even regarding relations with the outside world, its foreign policy tends to tack toward core national interests rather than to float big ideas or daring initiatives. Its diplomacy, day-to-day, is

risk-adverse. It is very actively involved in all manner of international organizations, sometimes contributing positive energy, practical proposals and, of course, funding. More than a decade ago, China’s decision to become a member of the new World Trade Organization was a watershed push away from self-absorbed inwardness and into a new intensity of global entanglement. But that decision did not come easily. The quick varnish of a dozen years cannot wipe away millennia. At the United Nations in New York, for example, on issues from Syria today to Bosnia almost two decades ago, a recurring complaint goes like this: Why doesn’t China as one of the Permanent Five on the Security Council exercise more leadership? The perceived Chinese drag is less deliberate than cultural, and its oft-proclaimed doctrine of “non-interference in the internal affairs” of member states is anything but unique in Asia. India, the world’s largest democracy, with a distinctive diplomatic tradition, takes a similar stance. So does Putin’s Russia. You sometimes feel that Beijing practically breaks out into an open sweat when other Council members bring up the Chapter VII use-of-force option in a crisis. But give Beijing some credit: Its default response is not to always play its veto card (as had been the dreary Soviet habit) but to quietly abstain, as it did during the epochal 1995 Bosnia chapter of the Council’s interventionist history. Chinese diplomacy has advanced from Bosnian abstention to Syrian affirmation.

The recent UNSC resolution requiring Damascus to cough up its chemical supplies to international confiscation not only passed with Moscow’s assent but with Beijing’s as well, of course. Viewed over a longer timeline, this is no little change because dictating to a sovereign state exactly what sort of weapons it cannot use in the heat of an existential war qualifies as major international “interference” … in anyone’s diplomatic dictionary. The fact is that Beijing desires to work in parallel with the U.S. on major issues to the extent consistent with its core national interests. China desires no second Cold War and still views domestic economic stability as an existential goal. Beijing trusts the secretary-general, the former South Korean foreign minister who on the Syrian crisis has been working behind the scenes far more actively than is generally known. China’s 68th UN season will probably prove less predictable than in the past. The diplomatic instincts of the new Xi Jinping administration have yet to reveal themselves. But the betting here is that the Xi government may be less inclined to be so fearful of the new at the UN. Yes, the times are a–changing.

Proof of Tehran’s seriousness will come in Geneva President Barack Obama’s recent phone conversation with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was a historic

ice-breaker after decades of no high-level contact with the leadership of that critical Middle East country. Some believed that the two presidents should have deliberately run into each other during the busy first week of the United Nations General

Assembly in New York. At the same time, the inevitable grip-and-grin photo of the two wouldn’t have done either president any good at home in the overheated political atmospheres of Tehran and Washington. No one should presume too

much at this stage, but it now appears that the road is set for a constructive, negotiated approach to the primary issue dividing the United States and Iran, that country’s nuclear program. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Dinner companion attentive to a fault DEAR ABBY: My husband and I go out to dinner once a month with a couple we have known for years. “Joe” is an active conversationalist, while my husband is fairly quiet. The problem is Joe addresses only me and stares at me throughout the meal. I think it’s just a bad habit he has acquired. To no avail I have tried various seating arrangements to avoid the constant stare. It makes me very uncomfortable. I feel bad for my husband, who is totally ignored, but doesn’t seem to care as long as the food is good! How do I get Joe to include my husband in the conversation and rest his gaze elsewhere? I would never say anything to “Mrs. Joe” about it because I don’t want to make her uncomfortable, too. I really want to continue the friendship and the social-

Dr. Anthony Komaroff

• Fortunately, visceral fat is likely to shrink when you lose weight. Here are a few tips for banishing this unhealthy type of fat: • Limit candy, cookies and white bread. Sugar and refined carbohydrates create a spike in blood sugar, which is answered with a burst of the hormone

insulin. This stimulates the production of visceral fat. • Trim portion sizes. Serve dinner on a salad plate. At a restaurant, ask for half of your entree in a “to go” bag even before your meal is brought to the table, or split one entree with someone. That’s what my wife and I do almost always (but not on special occasions, and especially not at Thanksgiving!). • Retool your diet. Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. These foods not only are generally good for your health, they are also less likely to build up visceral fat than “bad carbs” (refined carbohydrates) and “bad fats.” • Avoid “bad fats.” Switching to healthier fats won’t help you lose weight, but it will help lower your heart disease risk. Avoid saturated fats (found in meats and butter) and trans fats (found in fried foods and baked goods). Choose monounsatu-

DEAR DOCTOR K: You’ve written that abdominal fat is particularly bad for your health. What are the best ways to get rid of it? DEAR READER: When it comes to body fat, location counts. Visceral (abdominal) fat accumulates deep inside the abdomen. It pads the spaces between our abdominal organs. Compared to the fat just beneath the skin — the kind we can grab with our hands, called subcutaneous fat — visceral fat appears to be more harmful to health. The more visceral fat you have, the greater your risk of developing insulin resistance. This condition can lead to Type 2 diabetes and to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. In women, it is also associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. It requires expensive imaging techniques to measure the amount of visceral fat you have. But you can estimate your

rated and polyunsaturated fats found in fish, nuts and certain oils (olive, canola, flaxseed). • Stay active. Commit to 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on most days, plus resistance exercise a few days a week. (Sit-ups tighten abdominal muscles, but they won’t decrease visceral fat.) In addition to the distinction between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, another distinction has become potentially important: the difference between white fat and brown fat. Some of you have asked about it, and I’m going to devote a column to it soon. White fat stores calories, whereas brown fat burns calories. Many research teams are working on ways to give us more brown fat, to help us keep a healthy weight. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.
