Strip club attorneys spar Showgirl injunction decision not expected until after first of year BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

SOUTH BEND — Attorneys for Fort Wayne strip club owner Alva Butler are hoping U.S. Federal District Court Judge Robert Miller rules the city of Angola tried to prevent Butler from exercising his First Amendment rights in opening a Showgirl club in Angola through

legislation. Attorneys for the city, on the other hand, claim that Butler had not taken the proper steps to open a strip club in the city before new ordinances governing sexually oriented businesses and where they can be located were approved by the Angola Common Council. A ruling is not expected from Miller until after the holidays.

That and other points were made during final arguments by attorneys battling the case. The hearing was on a motion for a preliminary injunction against the city that would effectively negate actions taken Sept. 17, 2012, and Nov. 19, 2012, to change the city’s laws on sexually oriented businesses. Butler bought the former

Rodger Howell adjusts the harnesses of his two white horses during a brief stop alongside the road in LaGrange County. Howell, along with

his dog, a border collie named Banjo, is making his way across the Indiana on his way home to Tennessee.

Horse-drawn journey an inspiration BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — In Vietnam, he was coated with Agent Orange. In Erin, Tenn., he was a police chief for 16 years. Then, Rodger Howell received a grim prognosis from his doctor — his heart is weak and may not take another serious illness or surgery. “My life expectancy is rather short,” said Howell, 62, sitting in a pie wagon purchased from an Amish man in Hudson, Mich., while his two horses rested at Papa Duck gas station on U.S. 20, just east of the LaGrange County line. His plans Wednesday were to proceed west on the highway and

find a place to camp in the early afternoon. A master ferrier, Howell traveled from Tennessee to Michigan, where he visited his children and grandchildren, in a horse-drawn wagon. He is returning to Tennessee the same way. It’s a leisurely trek that has allowed him to see more of the world than he would at 70 mph, he said. “I’ve met some of the greatest people this country could supply,” Howell said. And, he said, he feels better than he has for a long time. He served in the military and was a police officer for 24 years. He said those experiences left him with a not-so-good feeling about

Ritz bolts out of meeting INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A meeting that produced a new outline for grading Indiana schools turned chaotic Wednesday when the state’s top education official stormed out, escalating an already testy battle with Republican Gov. Mike Pence.

humanity. This trip has changed things for him. Howell, who has a Facebook page, said other people have said he inspired them as well. People have followed him and posted notes wishing him safe travels. Howell plans to take S.R. 13 near Goshen on his route south. He camps where he can, and if an outlet is available, he has an electric heater to keep him warm while he sleeps in his covered wagon. The horses travel 25 to 45 miles a day, Howell said. After he returns to his home state, Howell expects to make a trip to Florida, again, in a wagon. “That’s the only way I’m going to travel from now on,” he said.

FLINT — The Steuben Lakes Regional Waste District Board is expected to approve an amended sewer use ordinance at tonight’s meeting. Last month, the board passed a sewer rate ordinance in conjunction with its 2014 budget. The rate ordinance does away with increases for Class 2 users that would have kicked in next year. That was made possible by the board paying off a bond issue early with $2.8 million in capital improvements funds. The sewer use ordinance has been under consideration for some time and is required by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for the district’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, said district superintendent Tim Frederick. “It provides guidance on how our sewers are supposed to be used,” he said. The ordinance had been more geared toward industrial customers, providing information on fines for mismanagement of sewer discharges. The updated ordinance includes more information about residential users. It sets fines for residential user violations at a state minimum set by IDEM a couple of years ago, said Frederick. A supplement to be considered along with the sewer use ordinance SEE WASTE DISTRICT, PAGE A6

Shaffer back in court Meth suspect was previously convicted in death of toddler BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

Indiana School Superintendent Glenda Ritz answers a questions from the media following a state School Board meeting Wednesday in Indianapolis. Ritz abruptly adjourned the meeting when a Gov. Mike Pence appointee tried to transfer certain student assessment powers from her office to a second education department created by the governor earlier this year.

LAGRANGE — Christy T. Shaffer, a Topeka woman who served less than three months of a 10-year prison sentence for neglect involving the death of a toddler, returned to court Wednesday, Shaffer this time charged with two methamphetamine-related offenses. Shaffer, 35, was arrested Tuesday just outside of Topeka after she was implicated during

the Nov. 1 arrest of two men in Topeka charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. Shaffer allegedly called one of the men on his cellphone while police were conducting their investigation. A drug test administered by authorities on Shaffer a few days later turned up positive for methamphetamine. Shaffer was then picked up by police officers on Tuesday and charged with two class D felonies, maintaining a common nuisance and possession of methamphetamine. Both counts carry a minimum sentence of six months in jail and a maximum of three years. SEE SHAFFER, PAGE A6

Fremont ties in ‘Strings Attached’ with toys, dolls in weekend production BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — Dolls, toys, a witty farce — it’s all part of Fremont High School’s weekend production, “Strings Attached.â€? In a synopsis of the production for general audiences written by Christian Kiley, Betsy Fowler, director, said: “A lonely inventor thinks he is on the verge of creating the greatest toy craze in history — life-sized talking dolls. Toyco, the world’s largest toy company, buys the prototype, but when they test market the dolls, something strange happens and the dolls take on a life of their own. Unwilling to live their lives as playthings, the dolls stage a revolt. “In the meantime, a group of lonely women think they have concocted a recipe to create the perfect man by mixing in a large pot a romance novel, Michael BublĂŠ CD, money, scented candle, stuffed animal, hunk of raw meat and picture of a male supermodel. Instead, the women create an egocentric, poorly bilingual, illiterate ladies man. The women must then find a way to

ditch their annoying creation while Toyco employees try to hunt down and deactivate the rebellious dolls.� Fowler said part of the learning process in choosing a production comes from looking at a catalogue with assistance of her students for input. “We read several scripts and it sounded like fun. It’s kind of creepy, dolls coming to life, but it’s pretty funny,� she said. “The kids have stepped up and I’ve given them a lot of control on props.� The 26-student production includes 11 seniors and seven first-time actors. Mason Kolberg, senior, has a major role in the play as joint assistant director and portraying the inventor. Kolberg said while it can be chaotic being on stage, it’s always fun. As the inventor, he has hard lines, he said. “I have a three-page monologue. I like being on stage and the adrenalin the audience gives us.� In his high school drama career, Kolberg said his favorite roles were doing improvisation as a freshman and portraying a mountaineer last year.

Town can’t provide school resource officer BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

HAMILTON — It appears Hamilton Community Schools will not tap the Hamilton Police Department for a school resource officer. School district and town representatives held an open and informal meeting Tuesday night inside the school to discuss hiring a fifth town police officer as a resource officer at the school building. The state has awarded the school district a $35,000 matching grant for security measures.

But news came quickly in the meeting from Town Councilwoman Tina Bosse that seemed to be a deal-breaker. She reported that hiring a fifth officer would change the police department status and force the town to pay overtime costs. With four officers now, the town is exempt from those costs. “That’s a big hurdle to surmount,� Bosse told school board members and Superintendent Jon Willman. However, Bosse said the town would be willing to change officers’ daily routines to allow patrols inside the school and on

school grounds. Willman requested patrols be made whenever possible, but especially during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup times. “You can start that tomorrow,� school board President Scott Lucas said. “That would be welcomed with open arms from everybody on this end.� The police department requested a computer be placed inside the school building for an officer to perform basic duties, allowing the officer to spend more time in the building. The district also will issue each officer a key card for around-the-clock access to

the building, Lucas said. Lucas said the school board was not in a position to comment whether it would pursue a resource officer from either the DeKalb or Steuben county sheriff’s department with the grant dollars, saying it was thrown a “curve ball� with news of the town police department’s restriction. The district has until year’s end to have a resource officer in place to receive the state grant. Willman must notify the state in the event one is not secured, and the district would lost the earmarked dollars.

Doctors are told to get serious about obesity ATLANTA (AP) — Next time you go for a checkup, don’t be surprised if your doctor gets on your case about your weight. The medical profession has issued new guidelines for fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic, and they urge physicians to be a lot more aggressive about helping patients drop those extra pounds. Doctors should calculate your body mass index, a weight-to-height ratio. And if you need to lose weight, they should come up with a plan and send you for counseling. “We recognize that telling patients to lose weight

By next year, most insurance companies are expected to cover counseling and other obesity treatments, following in the steps of the Medicare program, which began paying for one-on-one help last year. More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, and that’s been the case since the middle of the last decade. Officials define someone with a BMI of 30 or higher as obese. A 5-foot-9 person would be obese at 203 pounds.

All vets deserve thanks; post-9/11 vets deserve jobs Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, remembering those who served in the U.S. military during World War I, which ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace,” according to a congressional declaration. Nearly four decades later, Post-9/11 veterans Congress the remain unemployed at expanded observance higher levels than vets into a of other eras, and the national holiday general population. honoring all American military service men and women. The nation pays tribute in various ways, from parades in small-town streets, educational programs in schools, ceremonies by veterans organizations, special discounts for vets at restaurants and shops, personal ads in local newspapers with pictures of relatives in uniform, and thank-yous posted on social media websites. Those sincere gestures are worthy and needed. … Still, there’s another form of gratitude that can offer a long-term impact. The U.S. must continue and intensify efforts to get post-9/11 veterans into the workforce. Post-9/11 veterans remain unemployed at higher levels than vets of other eras, and the general population. The jobless rate for post-9/11 veterans stood at 10.1 percent in November, well above the overall national unemployment rate of 7.2 percent. The rate for all other veterans, by comparison, was 6.3 percent, according to the online publication The Blaze. There are numerous contributing factors, but a couple are significant and repairable. One involves, of all things, a stigma. Last week, Starbucks admirably joined several other U.S. employers unveiling a hiring program specifically targeted at veterans. The javashop giant announced its intention to hire at least 10,000 veterans and spouses of active-duty service members over the coming five years. Earlier this year, Walmart instituted a similar objective, aiming to employ 100,000 veterans through 2018. JPMorgan Chase, Boeing and Microsoft have also begun programs to increase hiring of veterans. Sadly, those wonderful ventures stand in contrast to some other industries. In an NPR report last week, a staff attorney for Starbucks who helped craft the company’s veterans hiring program, recalled his own difficulties in finding work in the civilian labor force. Rob Porcarelli worked as a prosecutor in the U.S. Navy in the 1990s, but hit a roadblock early in his job hunt. “In one interview downtown, the head of the department said, ‘You know, Rob, I think you’re going to find more of the intellectual type in the law firm environment.’ And I remember thinking, ‘Maybe he’s joking. Did he just call me and all my friends stupid?’” The Starbucks plan bucks such disgraceful stereotyping. Post-9/11 vets also deserve to have their training for specific jobs in the military validated by smooth, rapid certification for equivalent civilian jobs once they’re back home. Many states, including Indiana, have worked to speed up the credentialing process for veterans with military-time skills in medicine, communications, welding, mechanics, truck-driving and heavy equipment operating, according to The Blaze’s story. As the unemployment numbers show, progress needs to continue. The skills, work ethic and leadership qualities of the returning service members should be a guiding force for employers as they hire. As operations conclude in Afghanistan, more than 1 million U.S. military vets will become civilians, looking for work, in the next few years. A job opportunity — the chance to put their hard-earned qualities to use — offers one important way to say, “Thank you.”

Letters To the Editor • What is happening in America? To the editor: After reading the article “Beast” of a weed headed into Midwest, I just had to comment. Has anyone noticed what is happening in America? Where are our lush beautiful green fields, pure waters, bountiful crops, fresh air and the Sunday dinners with family and friends? The America as we knew it is being transformed before our very eyes. Daily we are learning of strange diseases that are resistant to antibiotics. Flesh eating diseases, strange crop diseases and many tree killing diseases that were almost eradicated. A deer disease killed thousands upon thousands of deer last year and now they are learning of a new disease that is also killing our fish. Hurricanes, tornadoes and droughts have also increased greatly. In the Bible, 2 Chronicles Chapter 7 and verses 13-22 reads: “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people and my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (Our land, America, is sin sick.) If not, verse 19 says, “but if you turn away and forsake My statues and My commandments which I have set before you and shall go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot you from My land which I have consecrated for My name, I will cast you out of my sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.” America was a land that also was formed on Godly principles and the foundation was laid upon Christian values. Were Obama’s own words true? “This is no longer a Christian nation!” Many “so called” prosperous churches have forsaken their mission and become nothing more than “social clubs” with an endless supply of parties, fundraisers and things to do. While many of these endeavors are wonderful, and help many, have we “the church” really presented each person with an invitation to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior? Have we laid the groundwork for others to turn their lives around and go in the right direction, serving God? Many of these churches have abandoned their first love, Jesus Christ. His death and resurrection are seldom mentioned anymore. Did Mohammad raise from the dead or any other God? I don’t know of any that were as documented as the history of Jesus Christ. His body was never found. They couldn’t

keep HIM in the grave. He arose just as He said He would. We “the church” must abandon our own agendas and return to our first love. God must be honored above all of our projects and decisions. He alone is America’s answer to the disasters that are happening. Will you turn back to God? Will you once again share Jesus Christ with lost souls? Don’t forget, God has already sent the answer to us in the Bible, it is up to us to finish the mission we were given. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Foolishness to many who have fallen into the trap of this world, but really, is it worth the gamble to forsake the Lord?

determine if there was ever any life there. The little vehicle functioned perfectly and a lot of interesting pictures were sent back. But there was a much greater discovery. A wonderful life form was discovered which seems to make the $2.5 billion investment worthwhile. This life form was designated as Superclaus. This intelligent creature promised to come to the U.S.A. and solve all its financial woes. Superclaus promised to arrive between Thanksgiving and Christmas and work its wonders. The designated day will be called Thankfulmas and everyone’s financial problems will be solved. On this wonderful day Superclaus will furnish means to cancel our national debt. All mortgages will be paid, all automobile loans will be paid, and all credit cards will Carol Mercer show a zero balance. Charles Cole Auburn

Grandmother seeks return of granddaughter’s lost baby doll To the editor: LOST: 5-year-old’s first baby doll! Last seen: On Oct. 7 in her cubby in the hallway at her private school (name being withheld so as to not bring negativity towards the school). The doll is wearing a purple/pink/blue striped dress with purple leggings, which by the way also matches my granddaughter’s dress which is why she took her doll to school that day, so she could show her teacher how they matched outfits! The outfit has not been worn since; she cries to see it. If your child brought this doll home, please have them return her to the “lost and found” or front office of the school or please call me direct at 925-4126 and I will gladly pick it up. I have spent the last month searching for a replacement, but none will replace her; this is her first baby doll and very special to her, she only wants her doll. Please, if you find it, return it.

Dangerous operation beginning at damaged nuclear plant

To the editor: Because of the ongoing “news blackout” in the U.S., Japan and the rest of the world about the ongoing disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant, I must send another warning. This one is far more urgent. The original disaster caused by the earthquake was so devastating because due to the loss of all power, the reactor cores superoverheated and burned through the containment vessel and are now in the ground below the building, generating enormous amounts of radiation in the ground water that was flowing into the nearby Pacific Ocean killing all sea life clear to the Pacific Coast of the U.S. The even greater threat comes from the spent fuel rods stored on the second floor of the building. They must be constantly cooled, or they will explode. Unfortunately, the electric company has poured so Brenda Myers much water on the plant that the storage Auburn building itself has started to tilt. If it falls and collapses, there would no doubt be an enormous nuclear explosion. To prevent Superclaus could this from happening, the electric company solve our problems has decided to try and remove the spent fuel rods from the storage building. This To the editor: is an incredibly difficult and dangerous Some time ago, NASA proudly operation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting a statistic on disappointment, the Obama administration revealed Wednesday that fewer than 27,000 people signed up for private health insurance last month in the 36 states relying on a problem-filled federal website. States running enrollment systems did better, signing up more than 79,000, for a total enrollment of over 106,000.

RITZ: Superintendent accuses Pence of takeover FROM PAGE A1

created by the governor earlier this year. “This meeting is adjourned,” Ritz said repeatedly, while packing her things and walking out. Department of Education staff quickly followed suit, while leaders of Pence’s second education department and the other board members stayed put. It is unclear whether Ritz ended the meeting. Before Ritz left, the board voted to approve new school grade categories and broadly accept the recommendations of a bipartisan panel formed in the wake of a scandal earlier this year. Indiana’s “A-F” school grading formula was investigated after an Associated Press report showed Ritz’s predecessor, Tony Bennett, changed the rules to raise the grade of a political donor’s charter school from a “C” to an “A” last year. Bennett resigned his job as Florida’s schools chief amid the scandal. Wednesday’s vote was a rare moment of unity between Ritz and the other members of the board in

an ongoing education war. Ritz accused Pence Tuesday of conducting a “complete takeover” of education policy over the past month. A Pence spokeswoman said he has worked “in good faith” with Ritz. At stake is control of Indiana’s education system and the sweeping education changes put in place by Bennett and former Gov. Mitch Daniels. Indiana Republicans approved the nation’s most sweeping school voucher law in 2011 and have expanded on it somewhat, in addition to dozens of other changes long sought by conservative education reformers. Former Bennett staffers have accused Ritz of targeting Bennett with a series of public records releases. The Associated Press obtained campaign fundraising lists Bennett and his staff kept on state computers. The other members of the state board, all of whom were appointed by Pence or Daniels, have accused Ritz of dragging her feet in implementing laws she openly campaigned against

last year. Board meetings have become a political circus, with Ritz refusing to recognize board members and those members frequently talking over her. Lawyers for the competing Ritz and Pence education departments have even offered competing legal advice to the board, while jockeying for control of the sole microphone reserved for witnesses to the board. After Ritz left Wednesday, another board member, Republican Brad Oliver, said he was withdrawing the motion that sparked the fight. The motion would have moved facets of the state’s career and college prep testing to Pence’s second education department. “I don’t want to exacerbate this,” Oliver said. It’s unclear whether the meeting was formally in progress at the time Oliver withdrew his motion, or whether Ritz had successfully ended it. Meetings are typically ended through a motion to adjourn, followed by a “second” support of the motion and a vote by the board.

city, claiming their First and 14th amendment rights were violated. “What we don’t want to face is prior restraint (of free speech) and buffer restrictions.” Scott Bergthold, attorney for the city and employees Dean Twitchell, building commissioner, and Vivian Likes, city planner, argued that Butler’s attorneys failed to meet the required tests for relief through an injunction. “They have failed to justify all … of these factors,” Bergthold said. He said the city was correct in enacting laws governing sexually oriented businesses on Sept. 17 and that Showgirl could not be grandfathered for use under a previous ordinance because it had not yet opened. “They were never in a position to operate a sexually oriented business,” Bergthold said.

Judge makes orders Wednesday afternoon’s hearing was a continuation of an Oct. 25 hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction. The hearing lasted just short of 4 hours. Miller ordered Butler’s attorneys to submit within a week a draft of how they believe an injunction, if granted, should read. In another 30 days, the attorneys are supposed to submit proposed findings and conclusions based on law to the court. Unlike some court hearings where attorneys make their closing arguments unabated, Miller occasionally stopped the attorneys to ask questions about the points they were making. Most of Wednesday’s hearing was devoted to further testimony by Likes in cross examination. Hoffer spent much time going over city zoning laws and a variety of email correspondence between her and Butler’s attorney at the time, Sara Seibert, and whether the yet-to-be-built Steuben County Multi-Use Trail constituted a public gathering place that would disqualify the Slider’s site under previous city zoning ordinance for a sexually oriented business.

Testimony not relevant

Also, Bergthold said, all of the allegations made about Twitchell were for activity that should be considered moot because Butler’s property would not meet the setback standard of the Sept. 17 sexually oriented business law, which was 750 feet away from any property that contained a residence. The property abuts at least three properties that contain residential structures. “What we have, your honor, is a bunch of facts they claim happened after Sept. 17,” Bergthold said. “All of the testimony we heard today was about activity that took place after Sept. 17. … Our position is none of that is relevant.” Testimony questioned Hoffer argued that the city sprung into action Hoffer said Twitchell has to enact laws that would lied about his knowledge of Butler’s intent, first testifying prevent Butler from opening in a February appeals hearing shortly after he purchased the property. that he thought the former “The important thing was Slider’s was going to become keeping a gentlemen’s club a steak house.

Shaffer made her initial appearance on the new charges Wednesday afternoon in LaGrange County Circuit Court by video link from the county jail. Senior Judge Robert Probst of Noble County presided. Shaffer, wearing a jail jumpsuit, said little during the proceedings, answering questions “yes” or “no” in a barely audible voice. Asked if she could hire an attorney, Shaffer quietly gave her longest answer of the proceeding, telling the court she didn’t have any money. She stood almost

motionless, with her hands crossed tightly across her chest, throughout the bulk of the 30-minute hearing. LaGrange County Judge J. Scott VanDerbeck released Shaffer from prison after she served only 77 days of the 10-year sentence he originally imposed after she was convicted of neglect of a dependent in the 2009 death of 16-month old Alissa Guernsey. Groups of people from around the nation have since shown up regularly on the LaGrange courthouse lawn to march and carry signs, protesting VanDerbeck’s decision to release Shaffer early.

this change of heart for Mr. Twitchell?” Hoffer said. “What changed is the city put the screws to Dean Twitchell.” Bergthold said Butler was not allowed to claim a vested right to operate because he violated city law in removing a load-bearing wall for which a permit is required. “I don’t think you need to decide who is the most credible,” Bergthold told Miller.

Likes of delaying Butler’s efforts to get an improvement location permit until city zoning law was changed and delay his efforts to get a permit to operate a sexually oriented business. “Did you intentionally delay processing the permit?” Bergthold asked Likes. “No,” she responded. Hoffer implied that Likes failed to answer emails from Seibert, though Likes testified she could not recall if that were the case. When Butler did apply for an improvement location permit in November, it took nearly a month for Likes to deny the request due to a lack of information. City regulations say a permit can’t be accepted for consideration if it is incomplete, though Likes said the Butler application was a mess. Bergthold said Butler ignored the city’s opinion on public gathering places, yet took no action to appeal a letter concerning that from Likes. In his closing statement, Hoffer also argued that Butler had a vested right in being allowed to operate based on his investment and money spent based on good faith actions through Twitchell.

Alissa Guernsey was the child of Shaffer’s cousin, Kelli Sprunger, who was said to be suffering from an emotional breakdown and drug use after the death of Alissa’s father in a car crash. The child was placed in Shaffer’s care by child services officials. During Wednesday’s hearing, the judge entered a preliminary plea of not guilty for Shaffer on the two felony charges and appointed LaGrange attorney Travis Glick to represent her. Shaffer is scheduled back in court Dec. 23 at 1:30 p.m. for a pretrial conference. Shaffer’s arrest on two felony counts also could violate her probation in the neglect case, with the potential to send her back to prison to serve the remainder of her 10year sentence. Probst agreed to the prosecutor’s request to hold Shaffer for 15 days without bail while the probation department investigates its case against her. The judge scheduled a hearing to discuss Shaffer’s potential probation violation for Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 11 a.m. in the LaGrange County Circuit Courtroom. Once the 15-day hold on Shaffer expires, she would then be held for $5,000 bond.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — A.J. Hammons didn’t look like he’d missed any playing time. Purdue’s 7-foot center returned after being suspended for both exhibition games and the regularseason opener for violating team rules. He had 12 points, seven blocks and five rebounds in just 17 minutes to help the Boilermakers beat Central Connecticut State 109-73 on Wednesday night. Hammons said he was glad to be back. “It felt really great, to tell you the truth,” he said. “Sitting on the bench kind of sucked. It felt good to be out there with my teammates.” Hammons wasn’t trying to make up for lost time when he returned. “I just came out to play,” he said. “Coaches told me to just focus and don’t try to do too much extra stuff. They said to just come out and play. I made a couple of good plays, I guess, at the beginning and it just kept going into the second half.” At times last season, Hammons could be lured into committing fouls on his block attempts. He got his seven blocks on Wednesday while committing just one foul. “We talk about it,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “We watch film in terms of when to wall up and stay big and when to be able to commit

to blocking a shot. You don’t realize how big he is until sometimes when he just actually raises his hands, and sometimes, he’ll block a shot just standing flat on his feet.” Terone Johnson scored 17 points, Rapheal Davis scored 14 points and Errick Peck and Ronnie Johnson each added 11 for the Boilermakers (2-0), who bounced back from a shaky effort in a 77-76 win over

Northern Kentucky on Nov. 8. The Boilermakers shot 54 percent from the field and committed just nine turnovers. It was the highest point total by a Purdue team since scoring 119 against LIU-Brooklyn on Nov. 14, 1997. Kyle Vinales scored 22 points for Central Connecticut State, but he made just 6 of 21 field goals.

Faronte Drakeford added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Blue Devils (0-2). “We were basically helpless,” Central Connecticut coach Howie Dickenman said. “I’ve been around the block a little bit, but I don’t think I’ve ever used the word ‘helpless’ because we just didn’t have any answers.” Central Connecticut started off on an 8-2 run. After Purdue evened things up at 10, the Blue Devils pushed their lead out to 17-12. The Boilermakers responded with an 18-0 run that spanned more than five minutes to take control of the game. “We just decided that we were going to lock down and play harder than the way we had before,” Peck said. “We got some rebounds, got the ball moving a little bit. Just rebounding the ball was really key.” Purdue shot 54 percent in the first half, taking a 54-32 lead at the break. Johnson scored 10 points in the first half while Peck added seven. Hammons had six points and five blocks in 10 minutes of action in the first half. “He seemed like he did whatever he wanted to do,” Dickenman said. “Big, wide, space-eater, and we just couldn’t handle him.”

Team concept huge for Pacers Kershaw, INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Paul George looked up at the scoreboard Monday night and realized Lance Stephenson was closing in on a triple-double, he got right to work. As George went on another scoring binge to help the Pacers pull away from Memphis, he wanted Stephenson to share the spotlight. So George quickly made a 20-foot jumper with 10:56 left in the game, giving Stephenson his 10th assist, then jogged over to his teammate and gave him a low-five. It’s hardly an unprecedented sight around the NBA, but in a league that has been built on big names, individual numbers and 1-on-1 matchups, George’s reaction was emblematic of what the Pacers have become — a team that celebrates everyone’s accomplishments. “I think it’s different from most of the teams I’ve been around, other than the last two or three years,” said coach Frank Vogel, who has spent 17 seasons working in the NBA. “I think this is the most selfless team I’ve been part of.” What the NBA’s last unbeaten team has cobbled together is a perfect mix of productivity, stability and camaraderie. Four of Indiana’s five starters are averaging double figures, led by George (24.9 points) and Stephenson (14.3). Fans have already been serenading George with chants of “MVP! MVP!”, and Stephenson has made no secret he wants to become the next Indiana player to earn the league’s Most Improved Player Award. George won it last season.

Scherzer win Cy Young

NEW YORK (AP) — Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers breezed Wednesday to baseball’s Cy Young Awards. Kershaw won the prize as the National League’s best pitcher for the second time in three seasons after posting a 1.83 ERA — lowest in the majors in 13 years. “This is such a cool thing. I can’t even explain what it means to me,” Kershaw said in an interview on MLB Network. “It really is a huge honor.” The 25-year-old lefty with a big-breaking curve drew 29 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Colts, Titans eager to play tonight NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Colts and Titans both feel embarrassed and disgusted with themselves, ready to move. They get to do so quickly. Indianapolis is coming off its worst loss since 2011, and Tennessee just became the first team to lose to the Jaguars. So both the Colts and Titans are eager to play again, even if their bodies still ache with a four-day turnaround. The faster the better so at least one team can ease the pain in this AFC South showdown. “That we can get back on the field as soon as possible and atone for our sins if you will,” Colts quarterback Andrew Luck said of playing Thursday night. “I’m sure the Titans are feeling the same way.” The Colts lost 38-8 to St. Louis and former Titans coach Jeff Fisher last week in their worst loss since being routed by 55 points in New Orleans in 2011. They fell behind early — again — and Luck couldn’t pull them out of another hole. Still,

they have a two-game lead over the Titans in the AFC South, and a win would give them a road victory over each divisional team. “We know that’s going to be a heavyweight fight,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. The Titans not only are trying to bounce back from a short week but also the loss of their starting quarterback. Jake Locker suffered a Lisfranc injury to his right foot in last week’s 29-27 loss to Jacksonville, moving Ryan Fitzpatrick into the lineup for the rest of the season. This is the first of two games between these teams in three weeks. A Tennessee win not only trims the Colts’ lead in the division but keeps a franchise chasing its first playoff berth since 2008 in the mix for the AFC’s final wild-card berth. “Being able to get the Colts two times in three weeks, that’d be pretty good for us if we can pull that off,” Titans running back Chris Johnson said.

Nationwide Series driver’s and owner’s championships both up for grabs at Homestead-Miami

Rusty Jarrett for Chevrolet

With Jimmie Johnson leaving Phoenix International Raceway with a 28-point lead over Matt Kenseth and needing to finish just 23rd in this week’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to secure his sixth Sprint Cup title, the post-race interviews at Phoenix were more like reflections on the season than buildup to the finale. Kenseth, who entered Phoenix just seven points out of the lead, struggled to a 23rd-place finish, so his only hopes for winning the title depend on a similar — and unlikely — collapse by Johnson at Homestead. Kenseth’s post-race comments came across like a concession speech, one in which he had nothing but praise for his No. 20 Toyota team, even though he’d just climbed from a car his crew was never able to get up to speed. “I’m obviously disappointed,” he said. “On the other hand, I couldn’t be happier and more proud of my team and, man … this has been the best year of my racing career, really. “It’s been an awesome season. You’re going to have days like this and of course we wanted to finish off here the last couple weeks. You can’t really just grab one race. “Some days are going to be great days, fortunately, for us, and others aren’t going to be as great.” His crew chief, Jason Ratcliff, shouldered the blame for the car’s lack of speed, and for confusion on a pit stop that cost them positions on the track. “Looking back on it now, the car just wasn’t responding the way that our typical Joe Gibbs Racing cars do,” he said. “They’re very responsive when you make changes to them. “All in all, I’m not so sure that our teammates didn’t fight something similar. So, I can’t say it’s a bad car. We just didn’t push the right button all weekend.” Over in the winner’s interview, Kevin Harvick and his car owner, Richard Childress — who will be separating after next weekend — seemed very happy to be able to close the current chapters of their lives on a positive note. That’s especially important to them after a dust-up at Martinsville in which Harvick was critical of Childress’ grandson Ty Dillon after the two crashed in the Camping World Truck Series race. Harvick even got emotional talking about his relationship with Childress, the only Cup owner he’s had for his entire career. “There’s no better way to go out than to do what we’ve done this year,” said Harvick, who took the lead coming to the white flag as race leader Carl Edwards ran out of fuel. “Obviously, we went to Martinsville and I said things that I shouldn’t have said and put everybody in a position that was not good, but I think we had conversations about things after that that probably made us closer as

Mark Martin scratch, it will be pretty cool,” he said. “It will be one tremendous career that we did some really great things and I got out of it without paying a big price.” Through his career, Martin has won 40 Cup races, 49 in the Nationwide Series and seven more in the Camping World Truck Series. He indicated he’ll probably do some testing and other work for Stewart-Haas Racing next year. Bobby Labonte has maintained that he’s open to more driving jobs, even if they’re in the Nationwide or Truck Series. Burton said he doesn’t foresee any of

Bobby Labonte the group walking away from NASCAR entirely. “I find it hard to believe that we won’t still be around in some form or fashion,” he said. “Now the chances that any of us are going to be running for a Cup championship next year are obviously next to nothing. But Mark Martin has a tremendous amount of value of being able to have a positive impact on this sport in some form. So does Bobby Labonte, and I feel that about myself as well.” Burton said it’s inevitable that older drivers eventually move on, creating opportunities for a new crop of young drivers. “When I came in, a spot was created for me, somehow, some way,” he said. “It’s just the natural cycle of things.”

2013 Sprint Cup finale could mark end of an era for some established NASCAR stars It’s looking like Sunday’s Sprint Cup season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway could mark the end of a major era as far as some of the sport’s established stars are concerned. The Ford 400 likely will be the final Sprint Cup start for veteran Ken Schrader, and it could be the last for Bobby Labonte, who has not announced plans for 2014 and is losing his ride in the No. 47 Toyota. Mark Martin also said he has no immediate plans to continue racing. Jeff Burton will make his final run in the No. 31 Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing, but he’s not revealed his plans for next season other than to say he’ll be racing somewhere. Bill Elliott hasn’t made an official retirement announcement, but he hasn’t competed in Cup since July 2012, and Terry Labonte, now a part-time competitor, indicated recently that he doesn’t plan to continue racing indefinitely. Juan Pablo Montoya also will be leaving the NASCAR scene, taking a full-time IndyCar ride with Roger Penske next season. Martin, 54, told reporters at Phoenix that he’s not planning on racing after Homestead, where he’ll complete his stint at the wheel of the No. 14 Chevrolet usually driven by Tony Stewart, who is out with a broken leg. “If I get through Homestead without a

Both the driver’s and owner’s championships in the Nationwide Series are very much in play in Saturday’s season-ending Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Austin Dillon enters the race with an eightpoint lead over Sam Hornish Jr. in the driver contest after the two finished third and fifth, respectively, at Phoenix International Raceway last Saturday. On the owner’s side, J.D. Gibbs moved to within four points of leader Roger Penske after Gibbs’ No. 54, driven by Kyle Busch, scored his 12th win of the season. Penske entered the race up by 26 over Gibbs, but his No. 22 Ford, driven by Brad Keselowski, was damaged in a crash and finished 19th. Hornish, who does not have a ride for 2014, said he believes his eight-point deficit to Dillon can be overcome, and he said it would mean a lot to him to be able to capitalize on what could be his last chance to win a NASCAR title. “I want to win the championship because at this point in time, I don’t know what the opportunities for me to win another one will be,” he said. “I feel like this last year has shown something that I’ve known for a while, and it’s just me being able to back it up with the results. “We don’t have as many wins as we’d like to at this point, but I feel like being able to go out there and race against top-level Cup guys and to race the way that we did [at Phoenix] and throughout the season — I feel pretty good about that, so I’ve got my head held high on that one, and we’re going to continue to work hard to try to figure out how to continue to be in this sport as long as I can.” Busch said he was happy to be able to put Gibbs within reach of the owner’s title, especially after a disappointing 26th-place run at Texas the week before.

The youth movement continues in the Camping World Truck Series as another age record was set at Phoenix International Raceway last Friday. Erik Jones became the circuit’s youngest winner, at 17 years, 5 months and 9 days old.

Jones, racing in the Truck Series for the fifth time, led a race-high 84 laps [of 150] and made a daring pass on Ross Chastain with nine laps remaining to get the victory, which gives him top-10 finishes in all his Truck Series starts. “Being able to be the youngest winner here and get this deal done in the Truck Series is amazing,” Jones said. “Never would have ever thought I’d have the opportunity in the Truck Series this year before they lowered the age for these [shorter] tracks.” Jones got the win drivingDrivers the same Toyota in the top 10 Laps from the Kyle Busch Motorsports shoppoints that in Sprint Cup completed a victory victhis Darrell Wallace his historic this season by JamieJr. drove inwithout season: Dale McMurray, tops among all Speedway tory at Martinsville twoEarnhardt weeks Jr., Clint Bowyer and Kurt Sprint Cup drivers. before.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Manning misses practice ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning was a no-show to start practice Wednesday with the Denver Broncos. Manning is nursing a sore right ankle after taking a hit from Chargers defensive lineman Corey Liuget last Sunday. The Broncos reported no further damage to Manning’s ankle after an MRI on Monday. Interim coach Jack Del Rio said the quarterback’s status for practice would be determined later in the week but that Manning would definitely play Sunday night against Kansas City. Manning has been dealing with sore ankles since last month when he took hits in games against Jacksonville and Indianapolis in back-to-back weeks. The 16th-year veteran was held out of a Wednesday practice three weeks ago, before a game against the Redskins. He played that game and threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns.Associated Press

Former Raiders tight end Christensen dies at 57 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former Raiders tight end and five-time Pro Bowler Todd Christensen died from complications during liver transplant surgery. He was 57. Christensen’s son, Toby Christensen, said his father passed away Wednesday morning at Intermountain Medical Center near his home in Alpine, Utah. After a stellar career at running back for BYU from 1974-77, Christensen was a second-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL draft. He was waived by the Cowboys after training camp but landed the next year with the Raiders, where he played for 10 seasons at tight end and won two Super Bowls. After his retirement in 1988, he went on to a career in broadcasting and most recently worked for CBS Sports Network.

Paul Aguilar put Mexico ahead in the 32nd minute, and Raul Jimenez made it 2-0 before the break. Peralta scored his first goal 3 minutes into the second half, collecting a cross from the left and slotting home a shot from 6 yards. He made it 4-0 with an 80th-minute header, and Rafael Marquez added scored in the 84th. Chris James scored a minute later for New Zealand. The second leg is next Wednesday in Wellington, New Zealand.

Jazz ball boy puts Jordan’s shoes up for auction SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A former Utah Jazz ball boy is selling Michael Jordan’s shoes from his famous “flu game” during the 1996 NBA Finals. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Preston Truman kept the shoes in a safe-deposit box at a Utah bank for 15 years. Truman, now 35, says he first befriended Jordan by running through the halls of the Salt Lake City arena to get Jordan his pregame applesauce. When the Chicago Bulls came back for the finals months later, Truman had more applesauce waiting for Jordan. Jordan was so impressed that after the game he offered Truman the shoes, with a signature. Auction officials say they verified the shoes were authentic. Grey Flannel Auctions says it will auction them online Nov. 18. Bidding begins at $5,000.

AP source: Louisville to pay $11 million AAC exit fee NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Louisville has agreed to pay the American Athletic Conference an $11 million exit fee so the Cardinals can join the Atlantic Coast Conference next year. Louisville announced last year that it planned to leave what was then called the Big East and join the ACC. Conference bylaws for the American require members to give two years’ notice and pay a $10 million exit fee. The conference announced Wednesday that its members had voted to terminate Louisville’s membership on July 1, 2014.

Florida State QB investigated for sexual assault TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is under investigation for an alleged sexual assault in December 2012. Florida State and Winston’s attorney confirmed Wednesday the investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department. Police officials refused to answer questions about the investigation. Attorney Timothy Jansen said Winston hasn’t yet been interviewed by police. He denied his client had done anything wrong.

A 101 lakes treasure is ready to be enjoyed

Indiana prepares to celebrate national recycling

BY PAUL OAKES

Ted Bohman is the property manager at Pokagon State Park and recently christened the new Trine State Recreation area, located on Seven Sisters Lakes, adjacent to and part of the main park. Greg Burns, the CEO of Cameron Hospital in Angola, and I were invited to a sneak preview with Ted and he really knows how to impress first-time guests. When we drove through the entrance to the park we had to dodge a large flock of wild turkeys, and a family of deer stood watching us pass by them. It gave us the flavor of what is going to be a spectacular addition to our community. Ted and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources are going to do their best to keep this area pristine, as a big draw for nature lovers — no outside boats of any kind, rentals only; strict opening and closing hours; registration of fish caught; supplying your own electric motor; and no camping (cabins only). The new piers and docks are first

rate and all the roads are freshly done. The fishing is as good as Mike Marturello told us it was earlier. Greg is a “Wisconsinner” and fishing is a part of his DNA. The grin in the picture is a testimony to our active time on the lake. He swears they grow bigger where he grew up but Ted assures us there are some real lunkers to be had now that the recreation area is open to the public. We caught about 20 bass and several nice bluegill on casting lures. A flyrodder will be in his element here. It was a genuine treat to get an early feel of what is going to be another chapter in the miracle that is the land of 101 lakes. PHOITO CONTRIBUTED

Organizations across the state are collecting recyclables leading up to the Nov. 15 — America Recycles Day. In 2011, the average American threw away almost 4 1/2 pounds of solid waste each day. That same person, on average, recycled or composted more than a pound and a half of waste. While that 35-percent recycle rate is great compared to the 10 percent it was in 1985, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is encouraging Hoosiers to reduce even more of what we send to the landfill, and to recycle as much as possible. That is why IDEM is joining Keep America Beautiful to promote ways of recycling electronic waste, along with other common household products such as cans, bottles, and newspapers. There are more than two dozen events across Indiana being sponsored by local businesses and community organizations to encourage recycling.

In 2011, the average American threw away almost 4 1/2 pounds of solid waste each day. That same person, on average, recycled or composted more than a pound and a half of waste.

• Events range from recycling collections to education outreach in schools and communities. These events will help people learn what can and cannot be recycled, and will help them find places in their communities to recycle on a regular basis. For more information about America Recycles Day or to learn how to start a community initiative to encourage more recycling, go to americarecyclesday.org.

Ohio governor stops execution

Four Marines die clearing explosives SAN DIEGO (AP) — Four Marines were killed Wednesday during an operation to clear a range of unexploded ordnance at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, a Marine official said. The deaths occurred during a periodic sweep of explosive material to make ranges safe for future exercises, said a Marine official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The identities of the dead were withheld pending notification of relatives. Base officials released no details on the 11 a.m. accident. Authorities were investigating the cause. “We offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the families of the Marines lost today in this tragic accident,” said Brig. Gen. John W. Bullard, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. “Our first priority is to provide the families with the support they need during this difficult time.”

Three students shot at Pittsburgh school PITTSBURGH (AP) — Three Pittsburgh high school students heading to their vehicle after classes ended were shot Wednesday afternoon, and police sought as many as three people and were investigating whether the shooting was drug-related, school and police officials said. All three teenagers were shot outside Brashear High School as they walked to a vehicle they’d all taken to school earlier in the day, school district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said. Nearby residents said they heard seven or eight shots. The victims’ wounds appeared to be non-life-threatening, both Pugh and police spokeswoman Diane Richard said, though their descriptions of the wounds differed slightly. Pugh said two students were grazed in the head and one was shot in both the foot and arm. Richard said one was grazed in the neck and shoulder, but not the head. Two are 17 and one is 16.

(AP) — Katy Perry is on a four-week journey that snakes around the world, including stops in Amsterdam, Australia and Japan. She’s got Germany to go before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Miami. And then it’s across the continent to Los Angeles. Perry “I am probably not going to be able to tell you what day of the week it is or what time it is because I will have lived in so many different time zones,” Perry said. She’s got one date memorized: Nov. 24. That’s when the 29-year-old pop star will open the American Music Awards with her new single, “Unconditionally.” Her performance will be announced Wednesday, along with appearances by Jennifer Lopez in tribute to Celia Cruz and TLC, and the pop star said in a phone interview she plans to step it up in what she believes is her first chance to open an awards show. “You take that into consideration, that you are kind of like setting the tone for everyone in the evening, so you always bring out the big guns in the beginning,” Perry said.

Child killer asked to donate organs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s governor delayed a condemned child killer’s execution on Wednesday to study the feasibility of accommodating the man’s request to donate his organs. Gov. John Kasich’s decision came less than 24 hours before Ronald Phillips was scheduled to die for the rape and death of his girlfriend’s 3-yearold daughter in Akron in 1993. His lethal injection Thursday was to be the first time a new two-drug combination was tried in the AP U.S. Mayor Rob Ford talks during a City drugs in the past two years, but said he In stopping the execution, Council debate in Toronto Wednesday. will not step down.

Samsung, Apple far apart on award due in patent case SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — How much does Samsung Electronics owe Apple for copying vital features of the iPhone and iPad, such as scrolling and the “bounce-back” function at the end of documents? Apple says $380 million. Samsung counters with $52 million. The companies made their demands Wednesday during opening statements of a patent trial in San Jose, Calif. At issue are 13 older products a previous jury found infringed several Apple patents. That previous jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion after determining 26 Samsung products had infringed six Apple patents. But a judge found the jury miscalculated $400 million in damages for 13 products and ordered a new trial to determine the proper amount. “Apple lost sales because Samsung was selling infringing products,” Apple attorney Harold McIhenny told the jury. He argued that Apple’s lost profits, Samsung’s profits on the offending devices and royalties owed Apple, add up to $380 million. “In a fair fight, in a fair competition, the money they got would have and should have gone to Apple,” McIlhenny said. Samsung’s attorney Bill Price countered that consumers preferred Samsung’s devices, which operate with Google’s Android system, because of the many differences —

rather than the similarities — they have with Apple’s products. Price told the jury that Samsung owes Apple $52 million. “Apple is simply asking for much more money than it’s entitled to,” Price said. Price readily conceded that Samsung was guilty of copying Apple’s features, but downplayed the significance of the technology in devices that are built with hundreds of patents each. “This is a case not where we’re disputing that the 13 phones contain some elements of Apple’s property,” Price said. “That doesn’t mean Apple gets to come in here and ask for a windfall … for more than it is entitled.” The two companies are locked in legal battles around the globe for supremacy in the more than $300 billion smartphone market. The current trial is a dispute over older products, most of which are no longer sold new in the United States. Another trial is scheduled in San Jose in March over Samsung’s devices currently on U.S. shelves. Apple and Samsung are the world’s two biggest smartphone makers and combined make nearly half of all smartphones sold globally. The two companies have resisted calls from judges, regulators and analysts to settle their differences, instead choosing to spend many millions of dollars on lawyers and legal fees to battle it out in court.

equipped to accommodate pre- or post-execution organ donations. Kasich said if Phillips is found to be a viable donor to his mother, who has kidney disease and is on dialysis, or to others awaiting live transplants of non-vital organs, the stay would allow time for those procedures to be performed and for Phillips to be returned to death row. It appears that Phillips’ offer to donate his heart to his sister, who suffers a heart ailment, however, would not be possible under the governor’s directive since the heart is a vital organ. Pongonis said a heart cannot be donated after death. The person must still be alive when the organ is donated. “It just wouldn’t be possible,” she said. “Organ donation occurs following brain death and the organs are maintained on a ventilator. When a prisoner is executed, the oxygen stops flowing, the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing.” Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, said Delaware death row inmate Steven Shelton was granted a request in 1995 to donate a kidney to his mother while in prison, though he was not facing imminent execution like Phillips. “This step by the governor puts it into a more normal discussion of an inmate, without any security problems, can help save another person and is that the right thing to do,” he said. “With 24 hours to go before an operation had to be carried out, it definitely gets in the way of that process.” Vital organ donations raise larger ethical issues and have so far not been allowed during U.S. executions, Deiter said. They have occurred in China, he said.

Bullied woman gets apologies at reunion DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding “Lost for Words” (July 7), who skipped her 10-year high school reunion because she was bullied in school. (She is now receiving Facebook messages from former classmates who want to apologize.) That letter could have been about me! I was bullied all through school, too. Things were so bad I honestly don’t know how I kept it together. I never even told my parents how bad it was until years after I had graduated. My class (1972) had their 10-year reunion and I went, although I almost didn’t because I was scared. When I got there, I was given hugs by classmates. Some of them apologized, and it was wonderful. I enjoyed myself so much that I helped organize our 20th and 25th reunions. “Lost,” you can either keep reliving those painful moments and continue to

Exercise can relieve arthritis knee pain The cartilage at the ends of two bones in a joint serves as a cushion. Bone on bone is painful; cartilage on cartilage causes no pain. Many joints are protected by the muscles that surround them, as muscles reduce the pressure on ASK the joint. DOCTOR K.

Over time, you will find that you can use your knee a lot more easily, and you won’t avoid doing certain things anymore.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have knee osteoarthritis. Are there exercises that could relieve my pain? DEAR READER: As a fellow sufferer, I know that joint pain from osteoarthritis can really interfere with life. Since putting pressure on the joint can make it hurt more, you might think that exercises would only make the pain worse, and so you might be tempted to avoid exercising altogether. But limiting your movements can weaken muscles, worsening your joint trouble. In contrast, the right set of exercises can be a long-lasting way to tame your knee pain. Like all joints, the knee is where two bones meet. Bones are stiff and hard, and the end of one bone would grind against the end of the other bone in a joint if it were not for cartilage. Cartilage is a tough but softer substance that covers the ends of bones.

Counseling helped me to learn to deal with bad things in my life.

Grasp your right leg with both hands behind the thigh. Extend your leg to lift your right foot toward the ceiling. Hold. Return to starting position. Repeat with left leg.

Poppy planting time for Afghans Arizona utilities, solar power users in bitter struggle

CHAM KALAI, Afghanistan (AP) — The seeds flew from his hands into the soil. Wrapped in a woolen shawl against the cold, Khan Bacha sowed his fields with the only crop he says brings him enough money to pay his bills and feed his family: Poppies. Afghanistan’s farmers are rushing to replant their fields with the base ingredient of opium after the country reaped its biggest poppy harvest ever last May. That harvest produced a staggering 5,500 metric tons (6,000 tons) of opium, 49 percent higher than the previous year and more than the combined output of the rest of the world, according to a report issued Wednesday by the United Nations’ drug control agency. Bacha’s village, Cham Kalai, is in the eastern province of Nangarhar, which saw a dramatic five-fold increase in the area planted with poppies from 2012-2013, the country’s biggest increase. The province also illustrates all the factors fueling the increase and thwarting efforts by Afghan officials and their U.S. allies to eradicate the crop. Poverty is widespread, making the lucrative poppy crop a draw. Instability is high, making any attempt to control planting impossible. In Bacha’s village of traditional sun-baked mud houses, there’s no electricity, no running water. There isn’t a health clinic for miles. Schools for girls are shunned as against Islam. “People are poor, families are big. Wheat is no good,” Bacha said. “The only thing that is good is poppies. They are gold.” The area is also a stronghold for Taliban insurgents. Talk of security in the area

just makes Bacha smile. Squatting on the edge of his small plot of land, he gestures off in the distance where he said that just the night before the Taliban fought a fierce battle with Afghan troops backed by “foreign soldiers” — his reference to NATO troops. Soon after the Associated Press arrived in Cham Kalai earlier this week, climbing down to the fields across a narrow stream, the whispering among the village children began — “Taliban, Taliban,” signaling that fighters were nearby. At first, Bacha looked worried but did not flinch. Then the whispers became louder. Bacha’s glances toward the nearby ridges seemed to pick up something, and his worry turned to panic. “Go. Go. Now,” he said. The AP team left the area. The poppy planting season in Afghanistan began last month and lasts until the end of November. Last season, which ended with the May harvest, brought a number of grim milestones: Not only was production the highest level ever, more land than ever before was cultivated with poppies — some 209,000 hectares (516,000 acres), 36 percent more than the previous season, according to the 2013 drug survey by the U.N. Office of Drug and Crime. The amount of poppy crop eradicated by authorities went down 24 percent, to 7,348 hectares (18,000 acres). That is bad news for Afghanistan, which has a burgeoning addiction problem, and for Europe, the main recipient of Afghanistan’s harvest, said Jean- Luc Lemahieu, the UNODC’s regional representative in Kabul. More than 1 million Afghans are addicts, living

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is in the midst of what seems like an intense election-year campaign: millions of dollars in spending, a barrage of negative TV ads and large amounts of outside money. The issue, however, has nothing to do with taxes, a hot-button policy or anything on the ballot. It is about the future of rooftop solar power in a state known for its abundant sunshine and at a time when the industry is booming. The state’s largest utility, Arizona Public Service, has spent more than $3.7 million to convince the public that AP homeowners using solar panels are costing other Afghan drug addicts look down from an upper floor in a drug treatment facility in Kabul on Wednesday. A UN customers money, and it wants utility regulators to report on drugs in Afghanistan says there are now 90 OK a proposal it says would facilities in the country, up from 30 in 2012. make the system more fair.

As a sleep on the street, in a result, they were effectively own ads, arguing that the garbage-filled dried river utility’s proposal would saying, “Love us.

He also said spent billions of dollars over to the dark side,” said consumer nations have of development money on Glendale resident Sophia roads and irrigation projects to take some responsiRoss, a homeowner with a bility rather “than always without getting Afghans to rooftop solar system. blaming Afghanistan.” stop growing poppies. The outcome by the

five-member commission with final say over APS rates is being watched by utilities nationwide and could affect the solar industry’s future. That’s because utilities are pushing the same arguments elsewhere, and a victory in Arizona could create momentum for their policies. Arizona Public Service says homeowners with solar panels are benefiting from the grid’s 24-7 power supply but avoiding much of the costs of maintaining power plants, transmission lines and the distribution system. Under the current system, homeowners are able to cut their bills by selling excess power at full retail price back to APS in a practice called “net metering.” Combined with using the power from the panels themselves, net metering can cut their bills by about two-thirds. APS says that effectively shifts the costs of operating the huge power distribution grid to homes without solar. It is proposing changes that would effectively cut that benefit by either charging more for power that homeowners with solar use or cutting what it pays for the excess solar power sent back to the grid. Existing solar installations would be exempt from the changes for 20 years. The solar industry says APS is worried it will lose revenue if solar continues to grow, and the company’s proposal would decimate the industry by making it a losing proposition to install new solar panels.

None hurt in explosion at Oregon prosecutor’s office MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — An explosive device that police say was designed to destroy an Oregon county prosecutor’s office instead blew out windows in a pre-dawn blast Wednesday that did little other damage. The FBI said it was too early to say whether the blast in Jackson County was terror-related, but Medford Police Chief Tim George said he considered the explosion a domestic terror attack aimed at law enforcement.

No one was hurt when the device fashioned in part from a 5-gallon propane tank exploded. Police say it failed to fully detonate. About 25 federal investigators from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Seattle and Portland were joining the effort to gather evidence about the explosive device, George said. “The most important thing in these cases, as we’ve seen over the years,

is the methodical collection of evidence,” George said. “I would bet the house on it, we are going to clear this case.” After the explosion, a silver-colored propane tank, similar to those used for camping, lay dented on its side in front of the broken windows at the prosecutor’s office. Two windows near the entrance were broken out of the one-story brick building across a quiet neighborhood street from the jail and

courthouse. Yellow crime scene tape surrounded the building and evidence markers dotted the parking lot. “The bomb squad on scene said had it detonated, there would have been devastation at the scene and the building would have been destroyed.” said Medford police spokesman Lt. Mike Budreau. “We believe there was something else attached to (the propane tank) that was intended to blow it up, but was not successful.” No one was inside the

building when the blast hit around 4:30 a.m. When investigators arrived, the tank was burning, and it continued to burn until the propane ran out, police said. Budreau said police were searching for a man who ran from an officer several blocks away, but it’s unclear if he had anything to do with the explosion. George said there were no suspects and no indications of the motive. While the district attorney’s office

regularly gets threats from people, none stand out as potentially related, he said. “I think it is domestic terrorism, absolutely,” due to the type of explosive device and the intent to do heavy damage to the district attorney’s office, George said. “We don’t know what the message was. We don’t know what the intent was.” Police withheld details of the explosive device, such as how it was detonated and what kind of explosive was used.
