A good substitute is hard to find Local school districts search in a variety of ways BY MATT GETTS mattg@kpcmedia.com

There is more than one way to skin the proverbial cat when it comes to finding substitute teachers at area school corporations. In northeastern Indiana, East Noble, DeKalb Central and West Noble school corporations

all make use of a computerized system offered by the Region 8 Educational Service Center of Northeast Indiana, a nonprofit cooperative serving 33 school corporations. School districts such as MSD of Steuben County, Westview, Lakeland and Hamilton have staff members who find substitutes when needed. For larger school corporations with comparatively large staffs, finding substitutes can be time-consuming. Avilla Elementary School Principal Dave Pine remembers what it was like in the old days, before Region 8.

“We just had a paper list, and we’d start from the top and work our way down,” Pine said. Region 8’s SubService system takes care of that hassle. If a teacher knows she is going to be sick the night before school, for example, she calls or uses a computer to log in to the SubService system. The system takes the information and finds a match with substitutes in its database. If a math teacher calls into the system, “within five minutes it would call the subs who are willing to do math,” said Connie Rich, the executive assistant at

Syria warns U.S. to stay out

Remains of Marine killed in WWII return to Indiana NASHVILLE, Ind. (AP) — The remains of an Indiana Marine killed during World War II have returned home nearly 70 years after he died during the U.S. invasion of a group of Japanese-held islands. Marine Pfc. Manley Forrest Winkley was 20 when he was shot and killed in combat on Nov. 20, 1943, during the first day of the invasion of the Tarawa Island Atoll in the Pacific Ocean’s Gilbert Islands. The Indianapolis man’s remains were finally returned to Indiana on Friday.

Region 8 who coordinates the program. “We have found the Region 8 substitute service to be extremely beneficial in securing substitute teachers,” DeKalb Central Superintendent Sherry Grate said. “Region 8 does their best to match substitute teachers with positions where subs may have a teaching license or a certain area of expertise.” “The system works exceptionally well for us and provides a much broader base for subs,” East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson said. “Using the sub system allows

Chinese teachers to relax their instruction methods. In Chinese schools, Rayle said, “They pretty much stay in their seats and rows all the time. We try and get them to break it up and do some interactive learning.” Rayle gets things moving at the camp by leading songs to start each day. “The vast majority of the students really enjoy doing the music part,” he said. His playlist consists mostly of simple children’s songs, although this year he introduced the pop hit “YMCA,” complete with choreography. In the afternoons, Rayle engages the students in relays and

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — The Syrian government accused rebels of using chemical weapons Saturday and warned the United States not to launch any military action against Damascus over an alleged chemical attack last week, saying such a move would set the Middle East ablaze.

Exporting English and fun Local man livens up Chinese summer camp BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — More than 130 Chinese students can sing “YMCA” with all the dance moves, thanks to Terry Rayle, a retired director for the YMCA of DeKalb County. But that’s not all Rayle accomplished during his three-week stay in China this summer. Rayle puts the fun in a camp

helping Chinese students learn English, sponsored by an arm of Huntington University. Rayle, of Auburn, has worked every year since 2009 at the summer camp in Doumen, a short distance west of Hong Kong. Students from elementary age to high school attend the camp voluntarily in hopes of improving their English-language skills. Every teacher of English in the Doumen region has gone through the camp at least once. Chinese education officials invite a team of 15-25 Hoosiers to make the annual trips to run the camp. This year’s journey ran from July 11 to Aug. 4. Rayle said the camp’s education specialists encourage

Marching for King’s dream

Hobby Lobby store coming to Angola

‘Task is not done’

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tens of thousands of people marched to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and down the National Mall on Saturday, commemorating the 50th anniversary of King’s famous speech and pledging that his dream includes equality for gays, Latinos, the poor and the disabled. The event was an homage to a generation of activists that endured fire hoses, police abuse and indignities to demand equality for African Americans. But there was a strong theme of unfinished business. “This is not the time for nostalgic commemoration,” said Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of SEE KING, PAGE A10

Final summer service tonight at Powers Church ANGOLA — The final summer service at the historic Powers Church will be held today at 7 p.m. The Little River Chapter of the Sweet Adelines will sing sacred and patriotic music and Darius Hillman, a local youth evangelist, will give a devotional talk. The service is nondenominational. An ice cream social will follow at Metz Christian Church, 1945 S. C.R. 800E. Powers Church is located on Old Road 1, just north of U.S. 20. It is a local historic site that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1876, it has been restored to its original condition by a committee of interested people that includes the Powers family. The church features the original oak floors and wainscotting, wood stoves,

pump organ, wallpaper and furniture. Kerosene lamps provide the lighting in keeping with the 1800s atmosphere. Although the Powers Church was originally nondenominational, it was affiliated with the Methodist Church and a circuit minister held services there for several years. Regular services ceased in the 1920s, but the church was used occasionally for funerals into the 1950s. Services are held at Powers Church on the fourth Sunday of June, July and August. A Christmas service that includes the reading of the Christmas story and singing of traditional carols is scheduled for Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. Details are available by calling 668-5908.

Miss Indiana Terrin Thomas of Auburn signs an autograph for Judy Werkheiser, right, of Garrett Monday evening while Thomas’ grandmother, Jeri Hixson, watches.

Auburn sends off Miss America candidate WATERLOO — Her hometown and high school gave Miss Indiana Terrin Thomas of Auburn a sendoff Monday night, as she heads toward the Miss America pageant. Friends, relatives, former teachers and classmates greeted Thomas at a reception in the lobby of DeKalb High School, where she graduated in 2011. Thomas will compete for the title of Miss America during the week of Sept. 10-15 in Atlantic City, N.J. Twenty family members will travel to Atlantic City to support Thomas from the audience. The finals of the pageant will be broadcast live on the ABC television network Sunday, Sept. 15, at 9 p.m. Thomas, 21, has been working toward the competition since she won the title of Miss Indiana on June 22 in Zionsville.

Tipton chairs United Way campaign KENDALLVILLE — Teams of volunteers will be leading the United Way of Noble County as the organization kicks off its 2013-14 campaign in three locations, covering all three school districts in the county. Avilla attorney J. Seth Tipton is serving as volunteer chairman of this year’s campaign, and he has assembled a cabinet of volunteers to lead the upcoming efforts. Free lunches will be served in Albion, Kendallville and Ligonier in the coming weeks, with the first event set for Thursday in Albion, at the corner of Main and Orange streets at the Noble Courthouse. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. volunteers will be serving grilled hamburgers, chips and bottled water, free of charge. Similar events are set for Aug. 29 in Kendallville and Sept. 5 in Ligonier.

Crowd speaks against large hog farm ANGOLA — A large audience gave a strong message to state officials that a proposed 4,800-hog confined animal feeding operation is not wanted in Steuben County. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management heard concerns and fielded questions about the proposed CAFO Thursday at the Steuben Community Center. Keith Werner, owner of K&D Contract Pork LLC, is proposing a 4,800-hog farm CAFO that would be located at C.R. 600W and 200N in rural Angola on a 60-acre parcel. He is a third-generation farmer. Werner’s parcel is in the vicinity of several lakes, including Pine Canyon, Crooked and Lime and Lake Gage.

Jeff Pettigrew bought 100 acres of farmland four years ago off Old Till Road in Whitley County, and it has proved to be an excellent investment. He made the purchase for about $3,000 per acre, and today farmland in that part of the county can sell for between $6,000 per acre and $7,000 per acre. “Around here, if it’s fertile, ditched good and has the capability of getting 200 bushel (per acre) corn, it will do that,” he said. Pettigrew is among the many farmers in northeast Indiana and throughout the Midwest corn belt who have benefited as low interest rates and higher prices for corn and soybeans in recent years have helped push up the price of farmland. Depending on soil quality and drainage, “you can find farmland in northeast Indiana for $3,000 an acre, and you can find farmland in northwest Indiana for over $10,000 an acre,” said R.D. Schrader, president of Columbia City-based Schrader Real Estate and Auction Co. “Appreciation has been very significant in farmland values for the last three years,” he said. “Over this past year, I would say it was in the 10- to 15-percent ballpark, and the year before that it likely was more than that, in the 20- to 25-percent ballpark.” A survey Purdue University conducted six month ago of 250 farmers, farmland investors, agribusinesses and agricultural lenders found them willing to pay an average of $6,179 per acre for a hypothetical 80-acre tract of farmland with normal corn production capacity of 165 bushels per acre. For the state’s most productive farmland, surveys conducted by the university found the average price had more than doubled to $6,521 per acre in 2011 from $3,278 in 2004. The strong price increases have attracted investment from outside of

During that time, “one in four acres of our corn was converted to ethanol and one in four acres of our soybeans was exported to China; and 10 years ago, demand in both those areas was negligible,” Gloy said.

Tribute •

Talkative, vibrant — that was Sallie Soboslay BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — The Rev. Jordy Truman of the First Presbyterian Church in Kendallville said at her funeral: “There is no mistake you will ever make that will make you stop being a parent to your child.” That was Sallie Soboslay — a loving mother to her six children, a proud grandmother to her 15 grandchildren, a watchful great-grandmother to her 22 great-grandchildren, and a doting matriarch to her great-great-grandchild. Sallie G. Soboslay, 80, of Kendallville died on July 22, 2013. She was born Jan. 24, 1933, in Kendallville to Kenneth E. and Marjorie A. (Emerson) Gardner. On Jan. 7, 1953, in Angola, she married William J. “Bill” Soboslay Sr. They were together for 54 years. He preceded her in death on Oct. 15, 2007. “Mom was a very talkative, vibrant, fun-loving and passive person. I think you need to be passive when you have six children,” said her daughter Dee Rathge. “Mom most definitely had her opinions, but when it came to her children and the issues that arouse she didn’t express her opinion on what mistakes were made, but instead tried to teach us how to learn from those mistakes.” Mrs. Soboslay was always looking out for the safety of her children and grandchildren. The Soboslays had a cottage on Sylvan Lake where the children could swim, take boat rides and enjoy lake activities. Dee Rathge remembered how her brothers and sister were not allowed to go in front of the cottage toward the lake without having on life jackets. “When we reached a certain age, she made us swim from the dock to the raft and back before we were allowed to go without wearing one. The rule continued even with the grandchildren.” Mrs. Soboslay may have been strict about following her rules when corralling her brood for afternoon naps, but they didn’t always cooperate. “Mom would get her black stool and her book and sit in the hallway while we laid down. Little did she know we weren’t always in our rooms taking a nap,” said Rathge. Mrs. Soboslay graduated from Stevens College in Columbia, Mo., in 1954 and received her bachelor’s degree from IPFW in 1977. She was a substitute teacher for the East Noble Noble School Corp., and also worked at Hudson’s in Fort Wayne. She contributed many articles to The News Sun in the late 1960s with a society column titled, “Sallie’s Sallies.”

Community involvement was certainly one of Mrs. Soboslay’s attributes. She served as deacon and elder in the First Presbyterian Church, was a past president of Tri Kappa Sorority, an original member of the Cole Center Family YMCA board of directors and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and Noble County Democratic Committee. She was also a member of the Kendallville Bridge Club and Book Club. Mrs. Soboslay and her bridge club members were mentioned on the Oprah Winfrey Show for being together for 50 years. Reading was a favorite pastime whether it was newspapers or books. “Silent Night” was her favorite hymn. She loved living her life with family and friends, recalled her daughter Dee. “She always had a story to tell about something that happened at the bridge club or book club. She always seemed to win the booby prize at the bridge club which I understand was last place.” Son-in-law Jim Dazey was always amazed at how Mrs. Soboslay could be involved in three or more conversations with different people and not miss any details. She could strike up a conversation with anyone about anything they wanted to talk about. She loved to talk on the phone and write letters to all her close friends, remembered daughter Rhae Dazey. She also had a sense of humor. Her daughter Rhae remembers an April Fool’s Day when the family sat at the table for dinner and her mother put a rubber worm in her dad’s salad. “We tried our best to keep from laughing but we couldn’t,” she said. Mrs. Soboslay lies in Lake View Cemetery in Kendallville.

Hoosiers’ income lagging INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s average personal income lags more than a decade behind the income levels enjoyed by the nation as a whole, a new Ball State University study has found. Ball State researchers looked at Indiana’s 2010 wages and, after adjusting for inflation, assigned each county the year in which its standard of living equaled that year’s national average. They found that Indiana’s average per capita income is equal to the 1996 national level. Although Indiana has seen small annual increases in the average standard of living over the past 50 years, it continues to lose ground nationally. Indiana ranks 40th among states for 2010 per capita income,

with the average resident earning $33,981. By comparison, the state ranked 30th in 1980. The study’s findings are important because income levels are a measure of standard of living, said Michael Hicks, director of Ball State’s Center for Business and Economic Research. “A higher standard of living tends to promote better outcomes — more time you can spend with your kids, more health care you can consume,” he told The Indianapolis Star. “Standard of living raises all boats.” Charles Jackson, a 33-yearold Indianapolis resident, said he’s not surprised that workers in other states earn higher wages. Jackson makes $40,000 a year working as a yard manager at Alpine Group. He

graduated from Ivy Tech in 2006 with a degree in automotive technology and computer programming. But he’s put himself on a budget, cutting back on eating out and trips to Kings Island, Cedar Point and Las Vegas to visit his grandfather. “To be comfortable and save for what you want to save for is hard,” Jackson said. “I would definitely say there’s places where people are making a lot more than here.” He’s heard the pay is better in Texas and is thinking about moving there. Hicks said Jackson’s interest in moving to a state with higher wages reflects a problem for Indiana. He said Hoosiers go to college and graduate at rates similar to the nation, but the state has trouble retaining graduates.

This undated file photo provided by the Bell County Sheriff’s Department shows Maj. Nidal Hasan. Hasan has been convicted of murder for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood that killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others. Hasan and many of his victims seem to want the same thing — his death. But while survivors and relatives of the dead view lethal injection as justice, the Army psychiatrist appears to see it as something else — martyrdom.

uh-oh kind of moment for the housing recovery,” said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo Securities. Homebuilder stocks declined sharply Friday, even as overall market indexes rose. Shares of Toll Brothers Inc., D.R. Horton Inc. and Lennar Corp. — three of the nation’s largest builders — all fell more than 3 percent in afternoon trading. And major homebuilders’ shares have been dropping steadily since late May. The slide began after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke first signaled that the Fed might reduce its bond purchases later this year. The bond purchases have helped keep mortgage rates and other borrowing costs low. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage reached 4.58 percent this week, according to Freddie Mac. That’s up from 3.35 percent in early May and the highest in two years. The impact on would-be buyers’ finances is significant.

California vies for role in space race Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic. Space industry advocates expect such private ventures to be lucrative investments. Texas, Florida, Virginia, and New Mexico already have similar laws in attempts to lure the business. Several lawmakers say the state should not relax its liability standards since tourists should expect space ships to be safe.

Hasan, a U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian descent, has indicated that martyrdom is a goal. “I’m paraplegic and could be in jail for the rest of my life,” he told a military panel in 2010, according to documents his lawyer recently released to The New York Times. “However, if I died by lethal injection, I would still be a martyr.”

Interest rates hurt home sales WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans cut back sharply in July on their purchases of new homes, a sign that higher mortgage rates may slow the housing recovery. U.S. sales of newly built homes dropped 13.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 394,000, the Commerce Department said Friday. That’s the lowest in nine months. And sales fell from a rate of 455,000 in June, which was revised down from a previously reported 497,000. The housing rebound that began last year has helped drive economic growth and create more construction jobs. But mortgage rates have climbed a full percentage point since May. The increase has begun to steal some momentum from the market. Sales of new homes are still up 7 percent in the 12 months ending in July. Yet the annual pace remains well below the 700,000 that is consistent with a healthy market. July’s drop “may mark an

Maj. Nidal Hasan and many of his victims in the Fort Hood shooting seem to want the same thing — his death. But while survivors and relatives of the dead view lethal injection as justice, the Army psychiatrist appears to see it as something else — martyrdom. As the sentencing phase begins Monday following Hasan’s conviction for killing 13 people in the 2009 attack, the conflict has not gone unnoticed. Autumn Manning, whose husband, Shawn Manning, survived being shot six times, views the death penalty as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, Hasan would get what he deserves. On the other, it also gives him exactly what he wants. In the end, she said, it makes little difference because the military has not executed anyone since the 1960s. “So we know he will die in prison. So at that point, my mind changed because I’d like to see him suffer,” Manning said. “He’s already considered a martyr in the Middle East or wherever those jihadist views are accepted.” Hasan’s courtroom silence, his refusal to cross-examine almost any witness and his decision to present no defense infuriated the civilian attorneys he fired earlier in the case in favor of representing himself. They had been ordered to remain in court to help Hasan if needed. The attorneys protested, telling the judge he had a death wish and was paving the way for his own execution. The judge rejected their request to take over the

New rule takes aim at abuse of painkillers Name the fastest-growing drug problem in Indiana. Methamphetamine, you might say. Marijuana? The answer could be prescription painkillers. State Attorney General Greg Zoeller said earlier this month that more Hoosiers now abuse prescription drugs than cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens and inhalants combined. The latest statistics show prescription drugs are blamed for 718 overdose deaths in Indiana in 2011, a nearly 10 percent increase from 654 deaths the previous year. Fortunately, someone is doing something about it. A state law passed earlier this year requires the Indiana Medical Licensing Board to adopt temporary emergency rules by Nov. 1, and have permanent ones in place by November 2014. A rule under discussion would require a patient taking prescription opioids for chronic pain to see his or her physician at least once every four months. It would also force each opioid patient to undergo a drug test at least once a year. The test would detect whether a patient is actually taking the prescribed medications or possibly selling them illegally to people hooked on those drugs. Doctors would be required to check patients’ names in a state database that tracks controlled-substance prescriptions. The state already is cracking down on “pill mills,” where doctors churn out prescriptions to addicted patients, according to newspaper reports. Zoeller said his office has taken action against more than 15 doctors since January 2012 for prescribing addictive painkillers for purposes not considered medically appropriate. Sadly, the new rule for opiods would cause inconvenience for people who really need pain medication and take it lawfully as prescribed. That’s the price we pay for fighting drug abuse, and it’s a only a small philosophical step from swallowing another bitter pill and tightening rules on pseudoephedrine to gain ground in the war on meth.

Letters • Don’t be just a veteran, be an American Legion veteran To the editor: The American Legion … Not just a place where shell-shocked, drugged-up veterans go to drink and tell war stories. I must admit that for a long time that is what I believed to be the truth, until I had my time in a war that allowed me membership. The myth is that the Legion is OK because it keeps these war-crazed veterans out of the other places where people meet. You wouldn’t want these post-traumatic-stressed guys going to a regular club with people of their age group because some sudden loud noise might set them off. That’s a scary thought, a war-crazed veteran loses it in a night club, many civilians injured. So the majority of the general public believe that the veterans’ clubs were established to keep the war-crazed veterans in a place where they could drink and smoke just like the military taught them. If you don’t believe the image, watch the movie, “From Here to Eternity.” This movie shows you how heavy drinking is just a part of the Military Culture. The truth is that the Legions were not started as a place for the vets to go drink. They have bars and kitchens to raise funds for the veterans and their families to have a place to get together. Every post is called a home. The Legion founders wanted to form a group that had some political pull with the government. They succeeded, Without the American Legion, There would be no GI bill or a VA administration. But, back to the Legion drinking. I found the original Ligonier, Indiana Post 243 minutes from 1920. They were a private club with a charter. Even the first commander was a dentist, He could write prescriptions for medicinal alcohol.

A perfect place for the returning vet that was used to drinking everyday Over There. My wakeup call to the American Legion being a family establishment and not a place for vets to drink was the West Noble American Legion Post 243’s Legion Picnic. There were a lot of children there, with a bounce house, an anti-gravity machine, water balloon toss to name a few of the many activities that were there for the children. There were no drinking contests, and there were more soft drinks available than there was beer. No one was drunk and disorderly. Everyone had a good time. Last year, West Noble American Legion Post 243 donated to veterans and their families and Ligonier institutions well over $10,000. If the drinking rumors are true, I wonder how they were able to reach out that much.

Today’s Challenges The American Legion can only keep the pressure on Washington when the membership is strong. Strength comes in numbers. You don’t have to hang out at a local post to help in the American Legion’s efforts to better the lives of returning veterans and their families. I am asking you to join the American Legion to become a part of this larger than one post operation. Don’t be just a veteran. Be an American Legion veteran, where your number can be added to the many legionnaires in Washington lobbying for us. We gave our youth and lost our innocence for our country.

The Pandora’s Box awaiting in Syria

INDIANAPOLIS — The images we’ve seen this week are grotesque, disturbing, heart breaking and may be just a preview of things to come. The chemical attacks — apparently by the Syrian government against rebel strongholds outside of Damascus — have killed an estimated 1,300, including dozens of children. In a civil war against the Assad regime, more than 100,000 people have been killed as Iran, Russia and Hezbollah have supported the government. But the chilling specter is the potential for al Qaeda to not only take power in this fractured state, or part of it, but to gain control of Syria’s chemical stockpiles. Former U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar spent the last 20 years of his Senate career trying to prevent this type of attack, forging the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Act that initially took aim at the decaying nuclear, biological and chemical stockpiles in the old Soviet Union. Over time, Nunn-Lugar worked to rid Albania of its chemical stockpiles In a statement to Howey Politics Indiana, Lugar said last Thursday morning, “One year ago, while in Moscow, I made a public suggestion that the United States and Russia work together to secure and destroy chemical weapons in Syria. Recent reports on the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and the destabilizing effect the conflict in Syria is having on the broader Middle East, underscore the continuing importance of the United States seeking to work with Russia and our NATO allies to ensure that chemical and biological weapons in Syria and elsewhere are identified and destroyed.”

Lugar was defeated for reelection in the Republican primary in 2012, leaving a void in Congress on who will continue the crusade to stabilize and eliminate the WMD stockpiles. There has been notable success, as states such as Ukraine, Belarus, Albania and Kazakhstan have given up their stockpiles. But the events in Syria raise the nightmare scenario of terror obtaining HOWEY networks chemical shells. POLITICAL As Nunn-Lugar REPORT officials explained on an August 2007 tour of Russia, sarin gas shell Brian Howey one strapped in C4 plastic explosives and carried in a briefcase could kill tens of thousands of people in a Western subway or sports stadium. How harrowing could this get? The Washington Examiner wrote: Syrian President Bashar Assad’s anti-U.S. strategy during the 2003-11 Iraq War has come back to bite him. Mr. Assad allowed al Qaeda operatives to set up a “rat line” through his country and into northeastern Iraq. Hundreds of young terrorists, many recruited from North Africa, took airline flights into Damascus and joined networks ready to sneak them across the border. Mr. Assad’s objective: to keep the U.S. occupation off balance by helping al Qaeda kill Americans. But Mr. Assad’s move also enabled al Qaeda to set up a logistics foothold in Syria that now is being used against him.

•

There is little doubt that if al Qaeda obtained this type of weaponry, it would raise the terrorism stakes, here, in Europe and Russia. In 2005, then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama traveled to Russia with Lugar, forging an alliance that prompted the two to write legislation to expand Nunn-Lugar to cover conventional weapons. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama cited his relationship with Lugar at his campaign kickoff in Springfield, Ill., and his Democratic National Convention acceptance speech. President Obama now finds himself accountable for what he identified as a “red line” exactly a year prior to this attack, should Syria gas its own people. “We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus,” Obama said on Aug. 20, 2012. “We have put together a range of contingency plans.” The White House said it was trying to confirm the reports independently from this week’s attack. Lugar said on MSNBC Thursday, “The President is going to have to deal with Congress on these issues. The ‘red line’ … means going to war. Essentially, the President said there would be enormous consequences. He needs to start outlining what would be involved. This is very dangerous because we may be aiding people who will use the arms against us and our allies.” Lugar said that during his 2012 visit to Russia, he urged

• them to “draw up a plan to capture the chemical weapons in Syria” with the United States. With Lugar out of the Senate and Russian President Vladimir Putin saber rattling against U.S. interests, there is a leadership void, a dramatic shift from the Nunn-Lugar era. More worrisome are the 2014 Olympics in that neighborhood at Sochi on the Black Sea. This atrocity poses a test for President Obama. He faces a similar scenario President Bill Clinton did during the genocide in Rwanda and Serbia. Clinton did not act in Rwanda, and eventually bombed Serbia into submission at the behest of Indiana U.S. Rep. Frank McCloskey. The U.S. public has little appetite for another ground excursion in a Middle Eastern country. But bombing runways and stockpiles, no fly zones, and special ops taking out WMD should be on the President’s table for a swift decision. Inaction could reward us with a Pandora’s Box.

same goes for a Duesenberg. It’s been 40 years since someone coined the term “Rolling Sculpture” to describe the great classic cars, and the phrase still works today. Some museums devote themselves to fine art and some dedicate themselves to cars.

But when a great painting gets into the hands of a private collector, it might disappear from public view for a long time. In contrast, most private owners of great automobiles love to show them off in public. That’s what will happen over the coming week in Auburn. Better yet, in Auburn you can see the amazing cars for free at events downtown on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Many of the other events across the nation where you could admire million-dollar motorcars are ritzy charity soirees with high prices for admission. In the case of automotive art, the creators wore blue collars. Some of them lived right here in northeast Indiana. Eighty years later, it’s good to know that their artistry isn’t going out of style.

Filling the fertility gap MONTERCHI, ITALY — It was a lovely summer evening. Large families filled the terrace at La Pieve Vecchio, a restaurant occupying an old convent on the outskirts of this hilltop village in Tuscany. Some groups even included small children, perched in high chairs or wandering the dining area with an anxious parent trailing close behind. That’s a common scene in America but not in Europe, especially in Italy. COKIE ROBERTS Here, children are almost as rare as STEVEN ROBERTS the truffles that were in high season and featured on La Pieve’s menu. And that birth dearth is causing a crisis across the continent. “As if it did not have enough problems with its never-ending fiscal and economic crisis,” notes international economist Paolo von Schirach, “Europe is also afflicted by long-term, possibly terminal, demographic decline.” The impact of this decline has “already had noticeable effects, none of them good,” he explains. Lower birth rates lead to aging populations, fewer young people in the workforce and a shrinking tax base. As the New York Times recently reported from Germany, “Europe’s plunge in fertility rates over the decades (presents) a problem that has frightening implications for the economy and the psyche of the Continent.” The problem is particularly acute here in Italy, where the average birth rate is 1.39 children per female, far below the 2.1 needed to keep the population stable. “The number of great-grandparents is overtaking the number of great-grandchildren,” according to the Aspen Institute Italia, “and in addition to an increase in the number of people over 65, Italy is also seeing a rise in over 80-yearolds.” This is not a new story; European birth rates have been dropping for many years. But the perspective from Monterchi offers an important insight into the immigration reform debate that has paused for August back in Washington but will resume in the fall. Yes, Americans are somewhat more fertile than Europeans, but the United States has something else that is just as valuable to the economy as children. Foreigners. Proponents of immigration reform have focused on the enormous economic benefits contributed by newcomers —starting new businesses, inventing new products, filling jobs others don’t want. But they also foot the nation’s bills. They help alleviate the “frightening implications for the economy” posed by an aging population that uses more services and pays fewer taxes. Sure, the United States is running huge budget deficits, but our fiscal problems are far less severe than those in Europe, and immigrants are one key reason. We did see some foreigners here in Italy,

• and not just tourists. Our server at La Pieve was a young woman from Poland; another waiter told us he’d come from Romania with his mother. In the marketplace at nearby Umbertide, several vendors wore the hijab, a Muslim head scarf. But Europe has far more trouble than America does in attracting and assimilating hardworking, bill-paying young immigrants. These are still largely homogenous countries that lack the diversity and tolerance that has always marked the New World culture. True, America has frequently exhibited a streak of xenophobia, or fear of foreigners, that focuses today on Latinos and Muslims. But there’s no Statue of Liberty welcoming newcomers to Rome or Paris or Berlin. And when they do come to Europe, immigrants are less likely to settle down and become part of the community. The word “xenophobia” is originally Greek, not English. A Somali working in the market at Umbertide will never be truly Italian, while an Italian who opens a bakery in Cleveland can eventually become a full-bodied, flag-waving American. Faced with this “demographic decline,” European governments are struggling for answers. Some have provided lavish subsidies to young couples to bear more children. Others are trying to convince women to join and stay in the workforce. But these goals can be contradictory, especially for traditional European cultures that have “long glorified stay-at-home mothers,” notes the Times. “Another way to adjust to the population decline is to get older workers to postpone retirement,” the Times added. For example, “Volkswagen has redesigned its assembly line to ease the bending and overhead work that put excessive strain on workers’ bodies.” Europe would be far better off if it had young immigrants to do all that bending and reaching — and to pay taxes on their earnings. They don’t, but the United States does. And that’s why the message from Monterchi is clear: America should encourage more immigrants and legalize the ones who are already contributing to our economic vitality.

Tri-State

BLUEGRASS Bluegrass Music, Camping, and Family Fun Thurs., August 29 - Sun., September 1, 2013 The Tri-State Bluegrass Festival offers four days of family fun, including over 30 hours of the best bluegrass music in the world, activities for children, workshops, vendors, and free weekend camping starting Friday, all for the low price of only $25 per adult! Plus, admission is free for children under 16, and there is a free “community night” concert on Thursday, featuring four bands headlined by Sons of Bluegrass. This festival promises to be particularly appealing with bands from North Carolina, Wisconsin, Tennessee as well as Indiana and Ohio. Although the festival promises to be electrifying, I confess that the Fall event always brings me a bit of anguish, because it signals the culmination of the year’s efforts as we approach the end of another festival season. But, we are already starting to think ahead to 2014. The Northern Indiana Bluegrass Music Association (NIBGA) is now in its 37th year of presenting festivals, and our objective is to provide a weekend of enjoyable and affordable bluegrass music

entertainment as a service to the local community and the bluegrass community. Profits from the festival fund our educational programs which, as a 501(c)(3), is one of our goals. The festival takes place twice a year in Kendallville, at the Noble County fairgrounds. If you are a seasoned bluegrass fan, you’ll enjoy the fine lineup of national and regional bands. If you are just starting to get interested in the music, or just curious, stop by and see what it’s all about! The Thursday night concert is the perfect chance to do that -- provided absolutely free as a thank-you to the community for supporting us at this location since 1990. Headlining that show is the Sons of Bluegrass, heralded as one of the best upcoming bluegrass bands in the country. They are setting the standard for a new generation of bluegrass professionals. They are comprised entirely of high caliber bluegrass majors from the one-of-a-kind four-year B.A. in Bluegrass Music program at East Tennessee State University, The Noble County

Community Fair Board will be raising money by offering an all-you-can-eat fish or tenderloin dinner at the log cabin for an $8.50 contribution (children $5.00) beginning at 4:30. There will be a variety of musical styles and approaches represented in this fall’s lineup; something for everyone -- from the old-timey, raucous “roots” sound to the signature lonesome, hard-drivin’ bluegrass sound and along the way, we’ll get to enjoy a few laughs from some special bands. You will not want to miss the late night B.U.G. (Bluegrass Underground) on Friday night where the Jug Huffers will be performing and jamming. This is not your father’s bluegrass. The very popular Band Scramble will be held Saturday afternoon. The top band gets a $250 cash prize! A Band Scramble is a bluegrass version of Battle of the Bands. There will be mini-workshops on Saturday morning, so you will have a chance to get pointers on your instrument from a master! There will be a “slow jam” session on Saturday led by

our favorite jam-meisters, Gary and Maggie Bilby. The slow jam gives folks a chance to become accustomed to jamming in a very comfortable and inviting environment. It has become a favorite of the attendees, and it’s free with your festival admission. Thanks to Dave Vogie for lining up these educational sessions! If you’re looking for something for the youngsters to do, come by the Kids’ Korner on Saturday morning -- also free with your festival admission. This event includes many activities with prizes. Thanks to Home Depot in Auburn for supplying materials, and Julie Goldsmith and her helpers for organizing and conducting this event. Parents are encouraged to help with this event which starts at 10:00am. You will find plenty of vendors with all types of food, as well as musical instruments, accessories, recordings, and other goods. The NIBGA table will again be carrying commemorative event and club merchandise. You will also find garage sale merchandise at various camp

Festival sites until Friday noon. As in previous years, there will be complimentary taxi service available to provide transportation to and from the stage area during concert hours. Call 260-302-1555 to get a taxi. If you’re already a seasoned festival attendee, but not yet a club member, consider becoming “one of us” and join the club. Memberships are very reasonable at only $10 for single memberships and $15 for two adults. A membership entitles you to monthly newsletters and an annual festival guide. The festival is held outside but there is ample shelter with two large tents and the activities pavilion covering the audience. If it gets windy or if the dew gets heavy, there are side walls that will be dropped. It is advisable to bring warm clothing as the late evenings can be cool. If you forget a sweatshirt, you can buy one from the merchandise table. Low back lawn chairs can make your visit much more comfortable although there will be several bleachers in the stage area. As an audience member at

the stage, remember this is a concert and we request that you respect the performers by leaving your cell phones off and keeping your conversations with your neighbors to a hushed, short minimum. We know your pet is important to you but they are not allowed in the midway or stage area. These common courtesies will make the show more enjoyable for everyone. The Noble County Sheriff’s Reserve will assist with parking and other duties. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a high caliber lineup of bluegrass entertainment at a family friendly price. In order to keep our prices so reasonable, we really rely on our volunteers! Please consider donating a couple hours of your time to help at the gate, help with kids’ activities, or drive golf-cart taxis -- you can volunteer at the club merchandise table. NIBGA and Kendallville have been a great match since 1990, and we look forward to many more years to come! Joe Steiner – Vice President For more festival information call 260-918-4790 or www. BluegrassUSA.net.

Art Stevenson & High Water Art Stevenson & High Water is Wisconsin’s best-known bluegrass show, and has been in demand throughout the Midwest festival circuit since 1993. The band’s bluegrass sound comes from the close duet singing of husband and wife team Art and Stephanie Stevenson, along with the spirited banjo and Dobro playing of Dale Reichert, and the hard-driving mandolin picking of Bruce King. They have released six albums. High Water’s music is heard on bluegrass radio programs around the USA and has received critical acclaim in the magazines Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Now. Recording artist James King and country music historian Bill Malone agree that Art and Stephanie Stevenson rank among the best duet singers active today. High Water’s repertoire is taken from many sources: the bluegrass classics of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers, early country music, mountain songs, and new material.

Obama takes to the road AUBURN, N.Y. (AP) — It’s the curse — or maybe the blessing — of living in a place that doesn’t make or break presidential elections: The president and those running for the job just don’t come around very often. So President Barack Obama’s two-day bus tour this week through swaths of western and central New York, a state that reliably backs Democrats in presidential elections, set the region abuzz. Cheering crowds and curious onlookers lined the streets hoping for a glimpse of the president through the tinted windows of his armored bus. Residents gathered at local restaurants and other hot spots on the off chance Obama might drop by (in nearly every instance, they left disappointed). And the newspaper in the small city of Auburn, N.Y., deployed nearly its entire staff of 12 to cover the president’s visit — even though his only events in town were a night’s sleep at the Holiday Inn and a morning workout at the local YMCA. The scenes were a reminder that despite the nation’s divided politics and Obama’s own faded star-power, the office of the president is still revered by many Americans — or, at the very least, generates interest. Jeremy Boyer, the executive editor of The Citizen newspaper in Auburn, said many of the locals who gathered around town were there to see the spectacle: the lengthy motorcade, the imposing Secret Service detail and “certainly the way they come in and just take over your city,” Boyer said. “Some of it is Obama,” he added. “It’s almost like

People • Parkinson’s robs Ronstadt of her ability to sing LOS ANGELES (AP) — Linda Ronstadt says she suffers from Parkinson’s disease, which has robbed her ability to sing. The 67-year-old music legend tells AARP Magazine, in an article posted online Friday, that she was diagnosed eight months ago and “can’t sing a note.” Ronstadt says she Ronstadt began to show symptoms as long as eight years ago, but attributed her inability to sing then to a tick disease. When her hands began to tremble, Ronstadt said she thought the shaking was the result of a shoulder operation. She said she was “completely shocked” when she finally saw a neurologist and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “I wouldn’t have suspected that in a million, billion years. “No one can sing with Parkinson’s disease,” Ronstadt told AARP music writer Alanna Nash. “No matter how hard you try.” Ronstadt sold tens of millions of records starting in the 1970s with pop hits like “You’re No Good” and “When Will I Be Loved.” But she also segued into country, pop standards and mariachi music, among other genres. In addition, the singer was known for her romances with California Gov. Jerry Brown and filmmaker George Lucas. Ronstadt now uses poles to walk on uneven ground and a wheelchair when traveling, the AARP story said.

because he’s the president, he doesn’t seem real to you.” Obama has frequently visited New York City, a fundraising hub for politicians. But he has rarely traveled elsewhere in the Empire State. His trip this week underscored that second-term presidents no longer need to plan their travel itineraries around states that could go either way in elections. Bus tours have long been standard fare in presidential campaigns. But Obama has occasionally hit the open road outside of the campaign cycles, boarding his black Secret Service-approved motor coach in search of an escape from the insular world of Washington and a way to reconnect with the American people. But the presidential security apparatus means some of that connection happens from a distance as the motorcade speeds by. A woman on the sidewalk in Seneca Falls held up a small homemade sign that read “Thank You For Health Care” and told of her husband’s

recent stroke. Residents in the lakefront town of Skaneateles sat in lawn chairs at the end of their driveways and waved American flags. The president did get some in-person time with the surprised lunchtime crowd at Magnolia’s, a Rochester restaurant recommended to him by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and with the soccer teams at Tully Central High School, where he dropped by morning practice. Obama stirred up an intraschool rivalry between the teams, telling the boys’ team that the girls said they would beat them. “They said, ‘Bring it,’” Obama said, eliciting laughs from the boys. Of course, there were plenty of Obama detractors along the motorcade route, too, as well as those pushing policy positions. As the president’s motorcade pulled into Binghamton University on Friday for a town hall-style meeting, hundreds of protesters gathered outside to urge Obama to oppose fracking, a natural gas drilling process.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republican leaders and the Obama administration are trying to cut a deal that avoids a government shutdown in October while facing what could be an even bigger fight over the nation’s debt ceiling in the rest of the year. An agreement to keep the government operating at current spending levels through October and November would head off a politically costly disruption of federal services but still leave a clash looming, like the one that roiled the economy two years ago, over a possible government default. Neither party has come up with a way out of a debt showdown. “Right now there isn’t a plan, unfortunately, in Washington,” said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who has been one of eight Republicans negotiating with the White House over the budget. He said lawmakers and the White House can’t seem to act until deadlines are at hand and the pressure for a breakthrough is intense. The double dose of a

short-term spending measure that expires in November and a debt limit deadline does create the kind of drama that prompts action. The coming budget fights mark a new season of uncertainty, which has emerged as an annual rite in Washington. This time the ritual is complicated further by President Barack Obama’s pending nomination of a Fed chairman to replace Ben Bernanke, whose term is ending. Investors and corporate leaders, already jittery over a debt ceiling fight, also will be trying to divine what Obama’s Fed selection could mean for monetary policy. “Bernanke’s departure is just one more unavoidable source of uncertainty,” said Lewis Alexander, U.S. chief economist at Nomura, a global investment bank. For now, the White House has abandoned its hopes for a large budget deal that would address both increases in tax revenue and reductions in long-term spending on programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Instead, it is proposing an overhaul in corporate taxes to close what it considers

loopholes and reduce rates. This would be in exchange for additional spending on public works projects to create jobs. Republicans are demanding long-term spending cuts, with some insisting that any deal must jettison money to pay for Obama’s health care law. The White House argues that the attention on cutting spending is misplaced because the combination of existing cuts, higher taxes on the rich and an improving economy has reduced the deficit. Without the opportunity to cut a grand bargain on taxes and entitlement spending, however, there are fewer incentives to make a big deal on the debt ceiling and fewer opportunities to attract lawmakers who are reluctant to raise the politically unpopular debt in the first place. “When we get back to Washington, when Congress gets back to Washington, this is going to be a major debate — it’s the same debate we’ve been having for the last two years,” Obama said in Binghamton, N.Y., on Friday.

Turmoil appears to wane in Egypt CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s government on Saturday shortened a widely-imposed evening curfew, signaling that authorities sense turmoil is waning after unrest following the president’s ouster threatened to destabilize the country this month. The Cabinet’s decision to cut the curfew by two hours came as Egypt’s interim prime minister vowed that his government’s priority is restoring security. Egypt experienced one of the deadliest bouts of violence in recent days since its Arab Spring began in 2011. Nationwide clashes and attacks killed more than 1,000 people after the security forces cleared two Cairo sit-ins belonging to supporters of toppled President Mohammed Morsi, overthrown in a popularly supported July 3 military coup. Since the unrest spiked, much of Egypt has been under a military-imposed nighttime

curfew. Responding to citizens’ demands, the government said in a statement Saturday that the 11 hour-long curfew would be in place daily for just nine hours. However, the full curfew would remain in place for Fridays, the first day of the weekend in Egypt and when last week’s protests were incredibly fierce. The easing of the curfew was announced a day after calls for protests by Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood group largely fizzled out. The announcement Saturday came as many were rushing to try to make it home before the curfew hours began. The curfew especially has choked Cairo’s bustling night life and the revenue of many businesses, hotels and restaurants. In recent days, Cairo, a metropolis of some 18 million people, began to regain a sense of normalcy. The capital, however, remains under a state of emergency.

SUBSTITUTE: Schools pay $8,900 for Region 8 FROM PAGE A1

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Students play a relay-race game organized by Terry Rayle of Auburn at an English-language camp in Doumen, China, operated by an arm of Huntington University.

games, such as racing while carrying cups of water on top of their heads or dice on tongue depressors. In spite of the silliness, the students’ high level of competitiveness shows through, he said. After the camp, teachers and older students stay for a one-hour discussion session on serious topics. Five years into the project, Rayle said his Chinese-language skills remain very poor. The whole point calls for him to speak English as much as possible with the students and his hosts. “Most Chinese say they don’t speak English well, but they are very understandable” and can carry on a conversation easily, Rayle said. Rayle has stayed every time with the same Chinese family, which takes a total

of three American guests. His wife, Mary Ellen, has made the trip twice. “The family we stay with is accommodating and so generous. … I feel like I can’t pay for anything myself,” Rayle said. Like many residents in Doumen, a city of 250,000 people, Rayle’s hosts live in a high-rise building, where they own half of a floor. The upper-middle class couple bought their first car three years ago. They send their son to a school 30 miles away, because they consider it the best in the area. “Most everything there is the parents’ desire to provide for the child,” who typically is an only child, Rayle said. “In that, they lose a lot of the personal time with the child, because they’re so focused on their work to provide a better living situation.”

In the schools where Rayle helps run the camps, most classrooms have no air conditioning. In summers, near the coast of the South China Sea, temperatures can top 100 degrees, with humidity pushing 100 percent. “There have been years when I lost 20 pounds because of the heat,” Rayle said. But that won’t stop Rayle from going back. He expects to return for at least a couple more years, he said. As a volunteer, he pays his own travel expenses with the help of local donors. Instead of focusing on the differences between Chinese people and Americans, “I’ve always tried to look at what’s similar,” Rayle said, adding, “There are some absolutely wonderful people in China.”

HOBBY LOBBY: Company operates 557 stores FROM PAGE A1

Mayor Dick Hickman said. Hobby Lobby reportedly is moving into the space formerly occupied by Scott’s Foods, the anchor of Counrty Fair for nearly 20 years. Hobby Lobby stores nearest to Angola are in Fort Wayne and Battle Creek, Mich. Hobby Lobby is considered a leader in the arts

and crafts industry, the company’s website says. The copany operates 557 stores across the nation that average 55,000 square feet and offer more than 67,000 crafting and home decor products. Hobby Lobby is listed as a major private corporation in Forbes and Fortunes lists of America’s largest private companie.

The company started as an extension of Greco Products, a miniature picture frames company founded in a garage by David Green in 1970, the company website said. Hobby Lobby officially began operation on Aug. 3, 1972, with a mere 300 square feet of retail space, and has been growing ever since.

us to draw from multiple counties and have access to teachers with a variety of licenses. If we were to do this ourselves, we would be without subs many, many times throughout the year.” The system does require a yearly fee, based on the number of buildings for which the system has to find substitutes. East Noble and DeKalb Central currently pay $8,900 each to take part in the system. Twelve school corporations in northeastern Indiana use Region 8’s system, which has a total annual revenue of $106,700. According to Region 8 executive director Josh Wenning, “100 percent of this money is used to pay the licensing fees for the software, the staff and the resources needed to support the system.” Linson said subscribing to the system pays for itself. “We would need to hire someone to take the calls from staff and find subs on a daily basis,” she said. “In addition, we would need that person to help organize subs for our own professional development activities.” The system is set up to allow school corporations to narrow searches from a limited list of substitutes it has found acceptable, Linson said. “We still have control over who subs in our classrooms,” she said. “If we are not comfortable with a sub, we can request they are removed from subbing in our schools.” School officials in smaller corporations take a more hands-on approach. It used to be that in the Lakeland School Corp., each building had a person designated to find subs for absent teachers. “We went to a one-person calling system several years ago,” Lakeland Superintendent Risa Herber said. Herber uses the pool of substitutes as a training ground and testing ground for future teachers. Each building in her corporation has a permanent sub

Region 8 What it is: An educational cooperative — one of various regional cooperatives created and funded by the state Legislature in the 1970s. The funding stopped in 2011, and Region 8 in northeastern Indiana became a nonprofit corporation that is governed by the 33 school superintendents who take part in it and an 11-member executive board of superintendents that meets monthly. Funding: Each school corporation pays $3.75 per pupil in yearly dues. Services offered: “This fee supports professional development, resources, reduced rates through a

assigned who goes to school each day. “They go to whatever building or classroom we need them in,” Herber said. A secretary in the office at Hamilton Community Schools handles the arrangement of substitutes, according to that corporation’s superintendent, Jon Willman. “That’s just part of her duties,” Willman said. Westview’s sub caller also serves as the librarian at Westview Elementary School. That corporation’s superintendent, Randy Zimmerly, said the employee is paid extra for the hours required to make the sub calls, and a telephone line for that purpose has been installed in her home. Each building principal, or that principal’s proxy, is responsible for handling subs at MSD of Steuben County, according to that corporation’s administrative assistant, Wendy Kellermeier. “We have a master list that goes out to all of our buildings,” Kellermeier said. Whatever the method used in finding substitutes, it’s an important function, administrators say. “Having a competent

purchasing consortium and involvement at the state level through the executive director,” said East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson. DeKalb Central Superintendent Sherry Grate said, “The greatest value of being a member of Region 8 comes from our consolidated purchasing and shared services.” Membership: All school corporations in northeastern Indiana, with the exception of those in LaGrange County, are in Region 8. The only public schools that have chosen not to participate in the organization are Fort Wayne Community Schools and Mississinewa. Source: Region 8 executive director Joshua Wenning

replacement when a teacher is out is very important,” Zimmerly said. “While keeping absenteeism low is the best thing, having substitutes that can carry on for the teacher is the secondbest thing.” Find subs can be hard at times, particularly in the late spring and early fall, school officials say. “It’s very difficult in late spring,” Herber said. The new health care law requiring employers to provide health care benefits to those who work 30 hours or more per week has added a wrinkle, according to Willman. Cash-strapped school corporations can’t afford to pay the extra benefits, so how much a good sub is used can be impacted. “Now if they sub every day … you have to offer them health benefits,” Willman said. “You have to have a bigger pool to rotate through. You can’t afford to have them five days a week throughout the school year.” That kind of restriction only makes it more difficult for corporations such as Hamilton, Willman said, which he said barely has enough good substitutes. He added, “It’s tough.”

KING: Holder is the ﬁrst black attorney general FROM PAGE A1

the slain civil rights leader. “Nor is this the time for self-congratulatory celebration. The task is not done. The journey is not complete. We can and we must do more.” Eric Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, said he would not be in office, nor would Barack Obama be president, without those who marched. “They marched in spite of animosity, oppression and brutality because they believed in the greatness of what this nation could become and despaired of the founding promises not kept,” Holder said. Holder mentioned gays and Latinos, women and the disabled as those who had yet to fully realize the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream. Others in the crowd advocated organized labor, voting rights, revamping immigration policies and access to local post offices. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the only surviving speaker from the 1963 March on Washington, railed against a recent Supreme Court decision that effectively erased a key anti-discrimination provision of the Voting Rights Act. Lewis was a leader of a 1965 march, where police beat and gassed marchers who demanded access to voting booths. “I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Ala., for the right to vote,” he said. “I am not going to stand by and let the Supreme Court take the right to vote away from us. You cannot stand by. You cannot sit down. You’ve got to stand up. Speak up, speak out and get in the way.” Organizers expected about

100,000 people to participate in the event, the precursor to the actual anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1963, march that drew some 250,000 to the National Mall and ushered in the idea of massive, nonviolent demonstrations. Marchers began arriving early Saturday, many staking out their spots as the sun rose in a clear sky over the Capitol. By midday, tens of thousands had gathered on the National Mall. Lynda Chambers, 58, gave up a day’s pay to attend because her retail job does not provide paid vacation. Even as a 7-yearold at the time of the original march, she felt alienated and deprived of her rights. Remembering those feelings, she said, she was compelled to make the trip Saturday. “I wanted to have some sort of connection to what I have always known, as far as being a black person,” she said. Longtime activist Al Sharpton, now a MSNBC host, implored young black men to respect women and reminded them that two of the leading figures in the civil rights movement of the 1960s were women. “Rosa Parks wasn’t no ho,” he said. “And Fannie Lou Hamer wasn’t no bitch.” Speakers frequently mentioned persistent high unemployment among blacks, which is about twice that of white Americans, and the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. Along the Mall, Martin’s picture was nearly as ubiquitous as King’s. Nancy Norman, of Seattle, said she was disappointed more people

who look like her had not attended. She is white. But the 58-year-old she said she was glad to hear climate change discussed alongside voting rights. “I’m the kind of person who thinks all of those things are interconnected. Climate change is at the top of my list,” Norman said. “I don’t think it’s one we can set aside for any other discussion.” Those in attendance arrived in a post-9/11 Washington that was very different from the one civil rights leaders visited in 1963. Then, people crowded the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and could get close to King to hear his “I Have a Dream” speech. Saturday’s speakers were also on the memorial’s steps, but metal barriers kept people away from the reflecting pool and only a small group of attendees was allowed near the memorial Saturday. There was a media area and VIP seating. Everyone else had been pushed back and watched and listened to the speeches on big-screen televisions. Police were stationed atop the Lincoln Memorial. After the speeches, marchers walked from there, past the King Memorial, then down the National Mall to the Washington Monument, a distance of just over a mile. On the day of the anniversary, President Barack Obama will speak from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He will be joined by former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Churches and groups have been asked to ring bells at 3 p.m. Wednesday, marking the exact time King spoke.

SYRIA: Obama considering military response FROM PAGE A1

Barack Obama considers a military response to the alleged use of chemical weapons by Assad’s government. U.S. defense officials told The Associated Press that the Navy had sent a fourth warship armed with ballistic missiles into the eastern Mediterranean Sea but without immediate orders for any missile launch into Syria. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss ship movements publicly. Obama emphasized that a quick intervention in the Syrian civil war was problematic, given the international considerations that should precede a military strike. After Obama met with his national security team Saturday, the White House said U.S. intelligence officials are still trying to determine whether Assad’s government unleashed the chemical weapons attack earlier this week.

U.S. moves forces toward Syria, inquiry continues WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials sought Saturday to determine whether Syria’s government unleashed a deadly chemical weapons attack on its people. At the same time, the Obama administration prepared for a possible military response by moving naval forces closer to Syria. Meeting on the issue Saturday with his national security team, President Barack Obama received a detailed review of the range of options he has requested for the U.S. and its international partners to respond if the fact-finding process concludes that Syrian President Bashar Assad engaged in deadly

chemical warfare, the White House said. At the same time, Obama has emphasized that quick intervention in the years-old Syrian civil war was problematic because of the international considerations that should precede a military strike. Obama discussed the situation in Syria by telephone with British Prime Minister David Cameron, the White House said. It was Obama’s first known conversation with a foreign leader about Syria since the reports this week that hundreds of Syrians had been killed by the alleged chemical attack in a suburb of Damascus, the capital.

Yosemite taking steps to protect sequoias

U.S. FOREST SERVICE

In this undated photo provided by the U.S. Forest Service, the Rim Fire burns near Yosemite National Park, Calif. The wildfire outside Yosemite National Park — one of more than 50 major brush blazes burning across the western U.S. — more than tripled in size overnight and still threatens about 2,500 homes, hotels and camp buildings.

Churches change bylaws after gay marriage ruling So far, attorneys not aware of suits against churches NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Worried they could be sued by gay couples, some churches are changing their bylaws to reflect their view that the Bible allows only marriage between one man and one woman. Although there have been lawsuits against wedding industry businesses that refuse to serve gay couples, attorneys promoting the bylaw changes say they don’t know of any lawsuits against churches. Critics say the changes are unnecessary, but some churches fear that it’s only a matter of time before one of them is sued. “I thought marriage was always between one man and one woman, but the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision said no,” said Gregory S. Erwin, an attorney for the Louisiana Baptist Convention, an association of Southern Baptist churches and one several groups advising churches to change their bylaws. “I think it’s better to be prepared because the law is changing. America is changing.” In a June decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between a man and a woman for purposes of federal law. A second decision was more technical but essentially ushered in legal gay marriage in California. Kevin Snider is an attorney with the Pacific Justice Institute, a nonprofit legal defense group that specializes in conservative Christian issues. His organization released a model marriage policy a few years ago in response to a statewide gay marriage fight in California. Snider said some religious leaders have been threatened with lawsuits for declining to perform same-sex wedding ceremonies. Dean Inserra, head pastor of the 1,000-member City Church Tallahassee, based in Florida, said he does not want to be alarmist, but his church is looking into how best to address the issue. Inserra said he already has had to say no to gay friends who wanted him to perform a wedding ceremony. “We have some gay couples that attend our church. What happens when they ask us to do their wedding?” Inserra said. “What happens when we say no? Is it going to be treated like a civil rights thing?” Critics, including some gay Christian leaders, argue that the changes amount to a solution looking for a problem.

“They seem to be under the impression that there is this huge movement with the goal of forcing them to perform ceremonies that violate their freedom of religion,” said Justin Lee, executive director of the Gay Christian Network, a nonprofit that provides support for gay Christians and their friends and families and encourages churches to be more welcoming. “If anyone tried to force a church to perform a ceremony against their will, I would be the first person to stand up in that church’s defense.” Thirteen states and the District of Columbia now recognize gay marriage. Some Christian denominations, such as the United Church of Christ, accept gay marriage. The Episcopal Church recently approved a blessing for same-sex couples, but each bishop must decide whether to allow the ceremony in his or her local diocese. The majority of Christian denominations, however, view homosexual relationships as sinful. In more hierarchical denominations, like the Roman Catholic Church or the United Methodist Church, individual churches are bound by the policies of the larger denomination. But nondenominational churches and those loosely affiliated with more established groups often individually decide how to address social issues such as gay marriage. Eric Rassbach is an attorney with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a public interest legal group that defends the free expression rights of all faiths. He said it is unlikely the government would try to force a pastor to perform a same-sex marriage, but churches that rent out their facilities to the general public could face problems if they refuse to rent to gay couples. Although his organization has not advocated it, he said it could strengthen a church’s legal position to adopt a statement explaining its beliefs about marriage. “A number of groups don’t have a written doctrine,” Rassbach said. “Say a group like the Primitive Baptists — they don’t want a written-down credo, but the courts like written-down things.” Rassbach said it was important for churches to get their beliefs in writing before a dispute arises, otherwise it can look to a court as if something was done after the fact as an attempt to cover up hostility to gays.

GROVELAND, Calif. (AP) — As a wildfire rages along the remote northwest edge of Yosemite National Park, officials cleared brush and set sprinklers to protect two groves of giant sequoias. The iconic trees can resist fire, but dry conditions and heavy brush are forcing park officials to take extra precautions in the Tuolumne and Merced groves. About three dozen of the giant trees are affected. “All of the plants and trees in Yosemite are important, but the giant sequoias are incredibly important both for what they are and as symbols of the National Park System,” said spokesman Scott Gediman. The trees grow naturally only on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada and are among the largest and oldest

living things on earth. The Tuolumne and Merced groves in are in the north end of the park near Crane Flat. While the Rim Fire is still some distance away, park employees and trail crews are not taking any chances. “We’re not looking at them as any kind of immediate threat, but we’re taking precautions,” Gediman said. More than 5,500 homes are threatened and four were destroyed. Voluntary and mandatory evacuations have been ordered. The fire has been burning for a week. The cause is under investigation. The fire held steady overnight at nearly 200 square miles along the park’s northern border, but a spokesman for the California Department of

Forestry and Fire Protection says firefighters didn’t get their usual reprieve from cooler early morning temperatures Saturday. “This morning we are starting to see fire activity pick up earlier than it has the last several days,” said Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant. “Typically, it doesn’t really heat up until early afternoon. We could continue to see this fire burn very rapidly today.” The Rim Fire started in a remote canyon of the Stanislaus National Forest a week ago and is just 5 percent contained. The fire has grown so large and is burning dry timber and brush with such ferocity that it has created its own weather pattern, making it difficult to predict in which direction it will move.

Colts’ defense shines Kenseth INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chuck Pagano promised to make Indianapolis a better defensive team. On Saturday night, the Colts showed what they’re capable of. Indianapolis starters allowed only four first downs and three plays run in their territory, didn’t yield a touchdown for the second straight week and even scored one on Larry Asante’s late 48-yard interception return. Andrew Luck, meanwhile, threw for two touchdowns to lead the Colts past Cleveland 27-6. It was a drastic improvement over what Colts fans witnessed in this venue two weeks ago, when Buffalo’s rookie quarterbacks EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel dinkedand-dunked their way to a 44-20 victory that drew the ire of team owner Jim Irsay. Of course in that game, most of the starters exited before the end of the first quarter. This time, Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden was consistently harassed and wound up 12 of 25 for 105 yards — just four days after being chosen the opening-day starter. Weeden wasn’t the only Cleveland player having trouble. There were drops, turnovers and penalties. And while Trent Richardson carried seven times for 31 yards, the rest of the Browns (2-1) rushed for only 28. The difference was that Indy (2-1) had most of its starters on the field. Pro Bowl safety LaRon Landry made his preseason debut against the Browns, and linebacker Pat Angerer was on the physically unable to perform list against Buffalo. Plus, most of the starters played into the second half. Despite losing starting right guard Mike McGlynn (bruised knee) in practice this week and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (right knee) on the game’s opening

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Kasey Kahne was fed up with all of Joe Gibbs Racing by the time contact with Matt Kenseth ended his race at Watkins Glen earlier this month. It was the fourth time a JGR driver had wrecked him, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, posting: “Headed to Joe Gibbs Racing to talk to whoever will come out front.” But when he had his chance Saturday night to right all of those wrongs, Kahne passed. A clean racer to his core, he trailed Kenseth for a dozen laps around Bristol Motor Speedway, trying every which way possible to pass him without wrecking him and failing miserably. The result was Kenseth grabbing his Sprint Cup Series leading fifth win of the season, while Kahne settled for a disappointing second. “I don’t know,” sighed Kahne. “I just … I think at the end of the day, I just don’t wreck people.” It’s the third time this season Kahne has finished second behind Kenseth, who on Saturday night clinched at least a wild card berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Kahne, meanwhile, is still hoping just to make it into the Chase. With two wins on the year he’s in pretty good shape, but he’s only eighth in the standings with two races remaining to set the 12 driver field.

Angola takes DeKalb tennis invite BY MARK MURDOCK mmurdock@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — Angola has plenty to live up to in boys tennis with back-to-back regional titles, and started the new season with a new lineup in the DeKalb Invitational Saturday. The Hornets ended up in the same place they’re used to, holding the team trophy at the end. With both of its doubles teams winning titles and putting two singles players in the finals, the Hornets amassed 33 points to win the event for the third consecutive season. Markus Arnold and Craig Nofziger were champions at No. 1 doubles, and Cody Nickols and Jake Honer were tops at No. 2. “We were confident, but curious about how we were going to look,” Angola coach Scott Hottell said. “Everybody had something to contribute and we were pleased to see everybody play so well. “We were confident, but curious about how we were going to look. Everybody had something to contribute and we were pleased to see everybody play so well.” East Noble and DeKalb both made a strong charge at the Hornets, equally so, as it turned out, with the two tying for second at 25 points. The Barons took titles at the first two singles positions, with Nate Helmkamp and Luke Buttermore carting home trophies. East Noble took the other singles title with Aaron Dills at No. 3. “If you’d have told me when I woke up this morning that we’d be tied for second, I would have been thrilled with that,” Baron coach

Oladipo ready to help turn Magic around BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Victor Oladipo is already working toward next season. The NBA’s No. 2 draft pick couldn’t prepare any other way. He’s getting used to his new job, getting ready to embark on another major rebuilding project and can’t wait to make his pro debut in the same state where he played college basketball the last three seasons. “I can only imagine how that’s going to be,” Oladipo said Saturday when asked about

Orlando opening the season at Indianapolis in October. “That’s going to be surreal.” ladipo and another ex-Hoosier, D.J. White, came back to Bloomington to serves as counselors at Indiana coach Tom Crean’s annual Basketball ProCamp. Roughly 300 young basketball players attended. And this time, Oladipo was clearly the feature attraction. “It’s truly like he never left,” Crean said. “When I could hear

him all the way from my office through all kinds of walls and doors downstairs, I realized he was truly back home. You realize how much you miss that energy and that charisma.” Hoosiers fans will miss his skills on the court even more. Oladipo and center Cody Zeller, the No. 4 pick in June’s draft, helped Indiana dig its way out from rock bottom over the past two seasons. At 20-62, the Magic had the

NBA’s worst record last season, and they’ll start this season with one of the league’s youngest teams and one of the league’s youngest coaches. So at age 21, Oladipo becomes the cornerstone of yet another major rebuilding effort as he tries to make the transition from college swingman to NBA point guard. “Being everybody’s doormat isn’t fun,” Oladipo said. “They say it’s a rebuilding process in Orlando. If it is, I’m well-prepared for it.

Leo edges East Noble BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — East Noble head soccer coach Rob Berkley said his team has struggled to unleash its talent so far this season against teams who play strong systematic soccer. Leo does just that. The Lions used a mature offense and solid defense and goaltending to get by the Knights 2-1 on Saturday in nonconference action. “We’ve been talking about it; we’re having difficulties against good, organized teams finding ways to be creative towards goal,” said Berkley. “That’s one of the focuses for us. We’re solid in back, even though we’ve given up some goals in the last couple games, but finding ways to be creative towards goal is going to be the focus for us.” Leo was indeed able to

play organized soccer, but it also capitalized on opportunities the way East Noble was not. At the 28 minute mark in the first half, Lions sophomore striker Ty Sproat banged a shot off Knights keeper Kaleb Williams hands that ricocheted up and trickled behind him and into the goal. Then, at the 20 minute mark of the second half, Leo senior midfielder Jacob Robbins sailed a shot in from deep out that evaded Williams to give the Lions a 2-0 lead. East Noble’s lone goal came on a low shot in traffic by sophomore midfielder Mason Diffenderfer with seven minutes left in the game. Berkley said even with the two goals his team gave up, he was pleased with his defense. “The defensive efforts are good,” said Berkley.

“We’ve controlled the pace of the game, we’ve held the ball, we’ve rotated, we’ve been able to connect passes and keep possession. But can that translate and be dangerous on goal, and it hasn’t yet. Defensively and possessionally, we’re doing okay, we’ve just got to find a way to be creative towards goal.” Leo coach Jim LaBorde said he made adjustments at halftime to accommodate East Noble’s play, then made another adjustment into the second half after noticing the Knights pressing harder. He said the win came from his team’s ability to play as a team. “I’m encouraged about how they’re playing as a team,” said LaBorde. “They’re coming together, they’re bonding together extremely well. They played very organized and kept their marks. It was a good game.”

ANGOLA: Hornets top Knights in doubles ﬁnals FROM PAGE B1

East Noble was also runner-up to Angola in both the doubles finals, and like the Hornets, was opening its season. Carl Kramer and Jonathan Toles were second at No. 1 doubles and Brennen Biggins and Adam Albertin were the runner-ups at No. 2. “It was the first time the kids have seen any competition other than East Noble,” Knights coach Nathan Toles said. “We had higher expectations hoping for a team championship, we have a great corps of seniors coming back. Overall, I can’t complain for our first day. “We lost to a very competitive Angola squad, reigning regional champions, and they’ve had our number the past couple of years.” West Noble finished in sixth place with nine points, which was OK with coach Craig Riegsecker, considering the Chargers were last in the tournament a year ago. “One positive is that we felt like we did better than last year, and we ended up having a pretty good season last year,” Riegsecker said. “We won a few matches. I’d say we did all right. We gained some experience and hopefully we can get things going in the right direction. “It’s a great experience. You get to see some different people. It’s a nice tournament to be in.” The Chargers were best in the doubles, placing fourth at both positions. The Hornets’ No. 1 team of Arnold and Nofziger lost only one game in taking its title, and the No. 2 unit of Cody Nickols and Jake Honer dropped only two games in the final. Blake Trusty had an early 6-2, 6-0 win over East Noble’s Evan Hart

FREMONT — Fremont was third in its own invitational Saturday with 19 points and Lakeland was fourth with 13. Leo won championships in three positions to win the team title. The Lions eked past Snider, 44-41. Leo won position titles at No. 1 singles with freshman Eli Stiner and at both doubles positions with Dustin Lukemire and Tyler Christilieb at No. 1 and Riley Stuart and Drake Lamont at No. 2. Snider won two titles at No. 2 singles with Matt Krites and at No. 3 singles with Steve Halstead. Fremont was third in No. 1 singles with Logan Miller, No. 2 singles with Brandan Arnos and in the both doubles positions with Alberto Figueroa and Wade Regadanz at No. 1 and Jeremy Seiler and Jordan Sanderson at No. 2. Lakeland’s Ian Sonner was third at No. 3 singles.

at two singles that proved important, Hottell said. “Blake had a great first match. He set the tone early taking out East Noble at two, and then having four positions get to the finals is something we’re really proud of,” Hottell said. “Jake Honer comes in as a freshman and has contributed right away. The seniors are stepping up playing great. Our nucleus, the juniors on the team, are the go-getters. They were all summer lifting weights and working hard.” Helmkamp won supertiebreakers (10-point tiebreakers used instead of third sets in invitationals) in both his semifinal win over Norwell’s Mitchell Keiser and Angola’s Cameron Hall in taking the No. 1 singles

crown. Buttermore lost only nine games total in his three wins, including a first-round shutout and a 6-1, 6-1 win over Norwell’s Bryant Barger in the final. Battling hard even through the consolation rounds was a key for the Barons, David felt. “Some of our guys stepped up and won some of those third- and fifth-place matches,” he said. “Having a tie for second every point counts. If they don’t play hard or if they give up, we’re not in this position.” Dills matched Buttermore for East Noble, dropping just nine games all day. He defeated Angola’s Chris Calvelage 6-2, 6-3 in the finals after a pair of 6-1, 6-1 wins to begin the day.

Ludwick, Reds top Milwaukee

Detroit Tigersâ€™ Omar Infante (4) is tagged out at home trying to score on a hit by Prince Fielder as New York

Mets catcher John Buck (44) makes the tag in the seventh inning Saturday.

Scherzer wins All-Star rematch NEW YORK (AP) â€” Max Scherzer outpitched Matt Harvey in their All-Star rematch, striking out 11 and hitting a stunning RBI double that sent the Detroit Tigers to a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday. Scherzer (19-1) joined Rube Marquard in 1912 and Roger Clemens in 2001 as the only major league pitchers to win 19 of their first 20 decisions in a season. Andy Dirks had three hits off Harvey, who gave up a career-high 13 against Detroitâ€™s powerful lineup. He pitched out of trouble to keep the Mets in the game, but they lost for the fifth time in his last six starts.

Missing injured slugger David Wright, the Mets have managed only two runs during a three-game skid. They were outhit 15-3 in this one. Harvey and Scherzer squared off on the same Citi Field mound 5Â˝ weeks ago in the All-Star game. Scherzer started and pitched a scoreless inning for the American League in its 3-0 victory. Harvey got the ball for the NL, escaped an early jam and struck out three over two shutout innings to delight the home crowd. The Mets said Saturday marked the third time All-Star starters had faced each other on another occasion during the same

season, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau. The first two came in the World Series: Mets ace Dwight Gooden opposed Clemens and the Boston Red Sox in 1986, and Red Ruffing of the New York Yankees faced Cincinnatiâ€™s Paul Derringer in 1939. Scherzer, who has enjoyed the best offensive support in the AL at about 7Â˝ runs per nine innings, allowed three hits and four walks in six innings. New York loaded the bases with one out in the sixth, but a good play by Dirks on Ike Davisâ€™ double off the base of the right-field wall forced Daniel Murphy to hold at third.

Scherzer struck out rookie Juan Lagares with a high fastball at 96 mph. John Buck popped up the next pitch, and a fired-up Scherzer pounded his glove in excitement, knowing his day was done after 118 pitches. Jose Alvarez set down all four batters he faced, and Joaquin Benoit worked a perfect ninth for his 17th save. Don Kelly added a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Pitching before a crowd of 35,636 on a beautiful, 78-degree day, Harvey (9-5) didnâ€™t have it early. He gave up hits to six of his first 10 batters, and the Tigers scored twice in the second inning.

Samardzija pitches Cubs to win SAN DIEGO (AP) â€” Jeff Samardzija pitched eight impressive innings and Darwin Barney homered and drove in two runs as the Chicago Cubs beat the San

Diego Padres 3-2 on Saturday. In his second straight solid outing, Samardzija (8-11) limited the damage to one run in the eighth inning when the Padres twice

loaded the bases and cut the lead to one run. Samardzija allowed two runs on seven hits. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two.

The light-hitting Barney, who had three hits, connected for a solo shot in the fifth inning and added a go-ahead RBI double in the Cubsâ€™ two-run seventh.

CINCINNATI (AP) â€” Ryan Ludwick hit his first homer since last October, another indication his swing is coming around, and Zack Cozart had a tiebreaking two-run shot Saturday night, powering the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds had four homers among their 14 hits while evening their series at a game apiece. Cincinnati has won 13 of its last 18 overall, tightening the NL Central race. Bronson Arroyo (13-9) won his fourth straight start by allowing three runs, including Caleb Gindlâ€™s pinch-hit homer leading off the eighth. The right-hander hasnâ€™t walked a batter in his last 29 2-3 innings. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 33rd save in 38 chances. The left-hander hit a batter and fanned three with a fastball that repeatedly registered 102 mph. Ludwick and Cozart connected in the sixth inning off John Axford (6-7), who failed to hold a 2-1 lead. Joey Votto added his 19th homer an inning later off Michael Gonzalez, and Cozart singled for his third

RBI. Chris Heisey started it with a solo homer off Wily Peralta, who lasted only five innings. The right-hander is 1-3 in five starts against the Reds this season. Last Sunday in Milwaukee, he gave up seven runs in only 4 1-3 innings of a 9-1 loss to the Reds. Ludwickâ€™s homer was the most meaningful one for the defending NL Central champions, who hope their cleanup hitter gets his swing straightened out for September and beyond. He tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding headfirst into base on opening day, sidelining him for more than three months. Ludwickâ€™s homer was his first since a solo shot off San Franciscoâ€™s Matt Cain during Game 5 of the Giantsâ€™ playoff victory in Cincinnati last season. Arroyo overcome a tough early inning. Khris Davis drove in the Brewersâ€™ first run with a double in the second, extending his impressive series. He had a pair of two-run homers in consecutive at-bats for a 6-4 win on Friday night.

Phegleyâ€™s knock sends Sox to win CHICAGO (AP) â€” Rookie Josh Phegley singled home the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night. Texas had its four-game winning streak snapped and wasted another strong outing by Yu Darvish, who gave up two runs in seven innings while striking out 11. Avisail Garcia singled with one out and went to third on Dayan Viciedoâ€™s hit one out later. Phegley then hit a line shot to left off

Tanner Scheppers (5-2) to end the game. Nate Jones (4-4) pitched an inning for the victory. Chicago trailed 2-0 before Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning to tie it. Alex Rios had hit a two-run shot in the top half of the inning for the lead. NOTES: As part of the Civil Rights Game proceedings, Aretha Franklin and Bo Jackson were honored during the pregame ceremonies. Franklin couldnâ€™t attend and former Tigers great Willie Horton accepted in her honor.

Home runs key Tribe win CLEVELAND (AP) â€” Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis hit two-run homers, Zach McAllister won his third straight start and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Minnesota Twins 7-2 on Saturday night. The win moved the Indians into third place in the crowded American League wild card race. Santanaâ€™s two-run homer in the first got the Indians off to a quick start. Kipnis, who snapped an 0 for 19 skid with a first-inning single, homered in the third. Both home runs came off starter Liam Hendriks (0-2), who has lost 12 of his 13 career decisions.

McAllister (7-7) allowed two runs in 7 1-3 innings. Brian Dozier homered in the eighth and hit a sacrifice fly in the third for Minnesotaâ€™s only success against the right-hander, who has given up four earned runs in 19 2-3 innings in his winning streak. Nick Swisher added a two-run double in the fifth for Cleveland, which won for only the second time in its last nine home games. Kipnis reached in the first on a two-out single and scored when Santana homered to right. Kipnisâ€™ homer bounced off the roof of Minnesotaâ€™s bullpen in right field, his first home run

since July 21. Santana and Kipnis are tied for the team lead with 16 homers. Hendriks, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to make the start, recorded his only career win at Progressive Field last season. The right-hander, a native of Australia, didnâ€™t get the same results this time, allowing seven runs in 4 1-3 innings. The Twins, who were 14-7 against the Indians since last September going into the game, couldnâ€™t muster anything else against McAllister, who missed seven weeks earlier in the season because of a sprained middle finger.

Age only number for Federer Top 10 things to NEW YORK (AP) — The numbers are not the sort that Roger Federer likes to see beside his name. One of them — his age, 32 — he cannot control. The other — his ranking, No. 7 — he insists he can. “People are going to say what they like,” Federer said Saturday, two days before his first-round match at the U.S. Open. “Important is that I concentrate on my game and that the passion is there, that I work the right way, that I’m prepared, and that I feel like I can win a tournament.” The five-time U.S. Open champion is seeded seventh, the biggest number next to his name at a Grand Slam tournament since 2003, the year he started on his record-setting run of 17 majors. In June, Federer exited Wimbledon in the second round, the earliest he’d been dismissed from a major tournament since the 2003 French Open. Starting with that loss, his season has included a steady diet of defeats that would have once been considered freakish and a withdrawal from a tournament that went unexplained. All these factors point toward an obvious conclusion: Age is taking its toll on the most decorated men’s player ever. Not since Pete Sampras captured the trophy in 2002 has a man over 30 won the U.S. Open. But Federer doesn’t envision quite such a grim picture. A bad back that might help explain some of his summer doldrums is no longer bothering him. A new racket that confounded him over the summer has been shelved for the time being. His ranking, and corresponding seeding, may have dropped from third to seventh in the nine weeks between Wimbledon and the Open, where his first-round match is against 61st-ranked Grega Zemlja, but Federer considers himself fit enough to contend. “Now I can really say I’m really just focused on the point for point,

meltdowns. She won her fourth trophy at Flushing Meadows last year, edging No. 2 Victoria Azarenka in a gripping three-set final. When Williams is on, she’s certainly the woman to beat. But Azarenka believes she has a chance against Williams, a rare quality on the women’s tour; Azarenka won their final at Cincinnati this month. Still, Williams is ranked No. 1, which means she’s seeded No. 1 in New York — the last time that happened was 2002, and she won the tournament. 7. WHO IS NOT HERE: Maria Sharapova surprisingly withdrew the day before the draw, leaving the field without a four-time Grand Slam champion and TV broadcasters without one of the sport’s top stars. Even more surprising: Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli isn’t entered in the U.S. Open, either, and it’s because she suddenly announced her retirement this month at age 28. 8. YOUNG AMERICAN WOMEN: Sloane Stephens is seeded 15th, and the sport’s biggest stages bring out her best tennis: She upset Williams en route to the Australian Open semifinals, made it to the Wimbledon quarterfinals before losing to eventual champion Bartoli, and got to the second week at the French Open, too. The 20-year-old Stephens is hardly the only up-andcoming young American who could draw attention. Jamie Hampton, who is seeded 23rd, also made the second week at Roland Garros. 9. MONDAY, MONDAY: For the first time in the Open era, which began in 1968, the year’s last Grand Slam tournament is scheduled to end on a Monday — a result of the push by top players to provide a day of rest between the men’s semifinals and final, instead of the U.S. Open’s long-standing Saturday-Sunday finish. Each of the past five years, the U.S. Open wrapped up on Monday, but only because of rain delays. Weather-related problems should become a thing of the past in the not-too-distant future: The U.S. Tennis Association announced plans to build two retractable roofs. The aim is to have a cover for Arthur Ashe Stadium by the 2016 tournament, although it might not be ready until 2017. 10. MONEY, MONEY, EVERYWHERE: Another result of lobbying by top players is an increase in prize money at Grand Slam tournaments — the U.S. Open is raising its total payout about 35 percent in 2013, to more than $34 million. That includes $2.6 million each to the men’s and women’s singles champions. A player who loses in the first round of singles will get $32,000.

Vols’ O-line may be nation’s best KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s offensive linemen savor the challenge they’re facing and the attention they’re receiving. The Volunteers return four starters from a line that allowed only eight sacks last season. Because Tennessee lacks star power at the skill positions, offensive tackles Antonio “Tiny” Richardson and Ja’Wuan James rank alongside linebacker A.J. Johnson as the Volunteers’ most recognizable names. Richardson and James are part of the line that leads an offense without much experience anywhere else. The Vols have a new starting quarterback and must replace first-round draft pick Cordarrelle Patterson and second-round selection Justin Hunter in the receiving corps.

“It’s a lot of responsibility, but the biggest thing is there’s not any pressure,” Richardson said. “We’ve been together so long, the cohesiveness is there.” Richardson, a junior, is the line’s lone non-senior starter and a potential first-round draft pick. James has started every game since he arrived on campus. Center James Stone has 27 career starts. Guard Zach Fulton has started 29 games. Alex Bullard, a Notre Dame transfer who started 12 games in 2011 and primarily worked as a reserve last year, replaces Miami Dolphins third-round draft pick Dallas Thomas at the other guard spot. Stone says they want to establish themselves as the best offensive line in the country. Teammates believe that’s a realistic goal.

“They look like what everyone perceives them to be,” running back Rajion Neal said. “They’re animals. They’re straight beasts up front. That’s what we need, and that’s what we’re going to depend on.” North Texas and Middle Tennessee were the only Football Bowl Subdivision teams to allow fewer sacks than Tennessee last year, yet the Vols didn’t have a single lineman earn first-team all-Southeastern Conference honors from the league’s media or coaches. Tennessee’s linemen are getting much more attention now, but additional accolades will come with more victories. The Vols open the season Aug. 31 against Austin Peay. “There is a chip on their shoulder with everything,” offensive line coach Don Mahoney said. “So much

has been made about each guy and their skill set, what they’ve done and how talented they are. But still, in the end, as I’ve told them, it boils down to us as a team, as a school, as a program, all those things. They get that.” Tennessee’s new coaching staff is finding ways to make sure this group doesn’t get caught up in preseason acclaim. Mahoney said the line must start creating running room as well as it protects the quarterback. His linemen have taken heed. “It’s always great to keep the quarterback clean, but it’s only half of the job, as everybody knows,” Stone said. “I feel like this year it’s an opportunity to go back there and prove we can run block as well as pass block.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Lions defensive end Young, regrets taunting Pats’ Brady ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Defensive end Willie Young said he regrets his penalty for taunting Tom Brady in Detroit’s 40-9 preseason win over the New England Patriots on Thursday night. After hurrying Brady into an incompletion in the New England end zone, Young grabbed Brady by the collar and put his finger in the quarterback’s face. Instead of facing third-and-10 deep in their own territory, the Patriots got a first down. “I just can’t do things to hurt the team and I know that,” Young said after Saturday’s practice. The penalty happened late in the second quarter and Detroit coach Jim Schwartz benched Young for the remainder of the game after the play. “There is no explanation (for Young’s actions) that would serve any purpose in this case,” Schwartz said. Young wouldn’t say what he said to Brady. “What happened between the lines stays between the lines,” Young said. “Tom Brady, I have much respect for him. Ask Tom Brady what I said.”

Mauer to be kept out of action due to concussion CLEVELAND (AP) — All-Star catcher Joe Mauer is not going to be activated from the seven-day concussion list when the Minnesota Twins begin a homestand next week. “The doctors advised him to lay low and rest right now,” Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said Saturday. “That’s the best thing for him. He’ll come in Tuesday, and we’ll go from there.” It was originally thought Mauer would report to Target Field and possibly begin an exercise program on Saturday, but now it is being pushed back until at least Tuesday, the day he is eligible to come off the concussion disabled list. Mauer was placed on the concussion list earlier this week after he became dizzy during his pregame routine. The Twins sent him back to Minnesota from Detroit, and the 2009 AL MVP visited a specialist at the Mayo Clinic on Friday. Antony said doctors didn’t see anything unusual in Mauer’s test results. “They just felt it would be best for him to stay at home and take it easy,” Antony said. “If he takes a few days off, it also will reduce the odds of him having symptoms when he does resume exercising.” Mauer, a six-time All-Star is hitting .324 with 11 homers and 47 RBIs for Minnesota, which entered the weekend 17 1-2 games out of first place in the AL Central.

Austrian Melzer winner at Winston-Salem due to injury WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Austria’s Jurgen Melzer didn’t want to spend a week in New York with all the craziness surrounding the start of the U.S. Open. Instead, Melzer spent the week training and playing in the relative quiet of North Carolina — and came away with a champion’s trophy and a big jump up the world rankings. Melzer won the Winston-Salem Open title on Saturday at the Wake Forest Tennis Center after Frenchman Gael Monfils retired because of an injury early in the second set. Melzer earned his fifth career ATP tournament title and first this season. His ranking will improve five spots to No. 27 on Monday, when the U.S. Open begins at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. “I’m playing great tennis at the moment,” Melzer said. “A week ago, I wasn’t a happy camper. I hadn’t played well, I had been struggling. It’s been the small things, but I’m getting my confidence back and playing well again.” The left-handed Melzer led 6-3, 2-1 after breaking Monfils’ serve in the second set. During the changeover, Monfils received treatment on his left abdominal muscle and hip before opting to retire.

Romanian Kalep pulls upset to take New Haven Open title NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Simona Halep doesn’t speak perfect English, but she knew what words to use when describing her game at the New Haven Open. “I played very beautiful tennis today,” Halep said. “I was enjoying every moment.” The 21-year-old Romanian dominated defending champion Petra Kvitova 6-2, 6-2 Saturday to win the final WTA tuneup for next week’s U.S. Open. Halep earned her fourth career win, but her first in a premiere tournament. All have come since June. The 23rd-ranked player improved to 29-5 in her last 34 matches (31-5 counting qualifying matches). “I’m just enjoying every match,” she said. “I try my best and I’m more aggressive now. I hit the ball stronger than before. I just take pleasure and I’m relaxed on court.” She broke the 2011 Wimbledon champion in four consecutive service games. The first break gave her a 3-2 lead in the first set.

percent. The biggest price increases were found in financial services and insurance (6.2 percent), but there the law of demand did well with total purchases rising a mere 0.5 percent. On the other side, the greatest fall in prices came in recreational goods and vehicles (bowling balls, ice skates and RVs), a whopping 11.5-percent decline that was accompanied by a 22.7-percent increase in the quantity sold. The law of demand is looking mighty good. While many question the fundamental wisdom of Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, they might do well to consider the fact that basic economics has a strong record of guiding us to the right answers. Even a simple “model” used to teach freshman, flawed as it might be in some respects, leads us to better answers than does the jabbering of those who never bothered to learn basic economics.

REPURPOSING New fair bringing trend to northeast Indiana BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

he annual Labor Day weekend Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival in Auburn is naturally geared toward car lovers, showcasing the rich automotive history for which the city is famous. A new event at this year’s festival also will bring vintage pieces back to life, but in quite another variety. The ACD Chassis Pearl Artisinal and American Lifestyle Marketplace will host artists of all types who make and sell old items with new uses, a trend called “repurposing.” The fair, featuring 75 to 100 booths of vendors, will be held Thursday through Saturday in an Artisans Village in the former McIntosh School lot on South Main Street, just south of downtown Auburn.

LUCKEY HOSPITAL MUSEUM 10 a.m. The Luckey Hospital Museum began when Dr. James E. Luckey’s great-neices Mary and Shirley decided to open a small museum to display their private collection. Tours available by calling 635-2490 or 635-2256.

Graphic artist and Auburn native LoriKay Nicholls is the brainchild behind the fair. She said the fair is capitalizing on a hot trend in repurposing that includes metalworking,

clothes, jewelry and things of the like, and attracts an eclectic and wide-ranging mix of patrons. “The trend is very different from antiques,” said Nicholls. “It is a

different era and a different crowd. We want to bring people and the trend here. I want to bring it home.” Before being admitted to the fair, each artist was thrust through a jury process by submitting to Nicholls five photos of his or her products and one of the booth. Here are three of the featured artists whose wares will be showcased at the Chassis Pearl.

Dawn Quick Dawn Quick is a treasure hunter. The owner of Donnibelle Studio, Quick hops through the region one flea market, rummage sale or estate auction at a time, in search of one man’s trash that she’ll turn into a treasure. She’s calls it “rescuing,” transforming tarnished knickknacks into fashionable accessories. “It’s all made from vintage, broken pieces. Some of the old pieces are so beautiful, but they’re not really seen, or a stone is missing or something,” SEE FAIR, PAGE C2

REPURPOSING FAIR: Quick says that sometimes the old stuff is just made better FROM PAGE A1

said Quick. “It’s all rescued, recycled, and I repurpose it and make it into something new that can be worn again.” Sometimes, Quick said, “the old stuff is just better than they make today.” Quick said her vision for a new piece is created ONLY when she finds a discarded trinket, pendant or earring. It’s then that her creative juices flow and a design is born. “Once I find something that is just sitting there and nobody wants it, that’s when I really start thinking about what I can come up with,” she said. Like the garters that Quick now sells dazzled with charms. Quick said it’s amazing how many garters she has found as estate sales during her travels. Just as interesting, perhaps, is how popular Quick’s repurposed, charmed garters are among teenage girls. Quick said her main market is “young, hip girls” in search of that completely unique accessory, and women aged 40-60, who remember the items as they were originally. Quick has been repurposing items for more than 15 years, but started her Donnibelle Studio only last year. Ahead of the trend, Quick said she got her start with her own outdated jewelry that she wanted to freshen up again. Enough comments from friends and strangers asking her if she sold the pieces prompted her to finally do just that. Donniebelle Studio’s products have become a regular at the monthly Indianapolis vintage marketplace event, and Quick has shown at other similar fairs as well as a repurpose show in Columbus last winter. The Chassis Pearl fair, though, will be the furthest north Quick has seen the repurposing genre come, and she’s eager. “This event’s going to be a really good,” Quick said.

new, custom-crafted from a room stuffed with materials that she pieces together in complementing, beautiful form. The pieces feature the gamut of precious stones, including her current love – amber. The commonality of Gaulden’s wares are that they are precisely unique and abstract. “The majority of my work, if not all of it, is not normal. I like very different things,” said Gaulden. “Nearly everything is one-of-a-kind, and it’s all custom-designed.” Gaulden, who has been making jewelry for a decade through her business, Judy’s Jewels, travels the area to buy materials. She said she is most inspired by color, but her work comes together primarily through trial and error — putting a material with a jewel and determining if the schemes connect. Gaulden has also worked in glass fusing, wirework, polymer clays and beading during her career, she said. “Anything that I can take and make into something I like doing,” she said. Gaulden said her wares

traditionally are purchased by women aged 30 and above who enjoy custom pieces and boutique shops. Chassis Pearl will be Gaulden’s first show dedicated specifically to repurposed and artisan items. She’s made the rounds at numerous local art fairs, including Fort Wayne’s Art in the Park annual event, but said this fair will be exactly in her wheelhouse.

Melissa Thomson Melissa Thomson’s passion is all in the family. Thomson began sewing at age 4 and had her own sewing machine by the third grade, and the rare times she wasn’t handling a needle and thread were when she was at her grandmother’s house, cooking with her in the kitchen. “I would spend tons of time with her in the kitchen, and the first thing she’d do would be put an apron on me,” said Thomson. It was a recipe for art. Years after those formative lessons, Thomson is a popular seller of

custom, handcrafted, vintage-style aprons. But Thomson’s aprons aren’t your grandmother’s aprons. “My aprons are definitely not the kind you wear to fry chicken in. They’re fancy,” she said. Thomson said one man bought an apron for his fiancee with the stipulation that she could wear it only with high-heeled shoes. Thomson specializes in replica 1930s-1950s aprons, with vintage Yankee designs and trims. She makes her own patterns and designs aprons to order. The aprons aren’t generally selling to the grandmothers, either. Thomson said she sees women in their 20s buying the aprons to stay chic for hosting dinner parties, and women in their 40s reliving experiences. She said the interest in cooking shows on television have spiked her sales. Chassis Pearl will be Thomson’s first large show. She has a successful Etsy shop where she sells her wares and does an annual show put on by the West Central neighborhood in Fort Wayne.

Zumba creating a new fan base for Latin stars ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Zumba Fitness instructors worldwide are not only using a Latin-heavy song lineup in their classes, they’re also creating new fans for artists such as Pitbull, Daddy Yankee and Don Omar. Omar’s “Zumba” has remained high on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart for nearly a year, peaking at No. 2. In Greece, Daddy Yankee’s “Limbo,” currently in the Top 10 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, is featured in a promotional video that has Greek Zumba instructors dancing to a Puerto Rican reggaeton beat in a beach setting. “Daddy Yankee texted me five days ago and said, ‘I wanted you to know that ‘Limbo’ is as much your hit as it is my hit,’” said Zumba Fitness co-founder and CEO Alberto Perlman. “It was perfect for Zumba. When he showed it to us, he said, ‘I said Zumba nine times in the song and it’s because you guys have inspired me.’” Zumba, a dance-based fitness program created by Colombian dancer and choreographer Alberto “Beto” Perez in 2001, was born and is still based in South Florida. It has expanded worldwide, creating new fans of dance styles such as Perez’s native cumbia and new fans of Latin music. Some 14 million people in 185 countries are now dancing and singing to the songs, smiling and sweating in Zumba classes and clamoring to buy the music. “Being from Michigan, I wasn’t exposed to any of that music, and now it’s easy to find and we hear it so often,” said Jill Cooper of Ann Arbor, a longtime fitness professional. She was one of 8,000 Zumba instructors from around the world who attended the annual Zumba Instructor Convention in Orlando, Fla. Walking through the convention space, you hear an international smorgasbord of music. Polynesian music blares from one room while the sexy samba of “Mas que Nada” pulsates next door, all punctuated by a “Yeah!”

And Pitbull, always Pitbull. “My mom loves Pitbull, and she loves Pitbull because of Zumba class,” Perlman said. “She would never, ever have heard Pitbull on the radio because she doesn’t listen to those stations, but because of Zumba class, she’s listening to him and I’m like, ‘Mom, stop singing Pitbull songs.’” Perez said the music is treated differently in Zumba than in traditional aerobics classes. “In the aerobics world, it’s very cheap music. It’s ‘boom-shh-boomshh-boom-shh,’” Perez said, imitating the beat of workout music. “The music is in the background. We need to put the music in front because it’s a party. How do you enjoy the party if the music’s no good?” Bill Roedy, former chairman and CEO of MTV International, is a consultant for Zumba. He said it’s that party atmosphere that makes people curious about the music. “Zumba has these captive audiences at 160,000 locations around the world, 14 million users every single week, so you get in this room and you’re dancing and you’re getting healthier and you’re listening to this music — you can’t change the radio dial,” Roedy said “It’s a captive audience, and you’re building these endorphins so you feel even better about the music.” Brazilian superstar Claudia Leitte, one of the celebrity coaches on the Brazilian version of “The Voice,” will be a featured performer at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. She recently was named Zumba Fitness’ global ambassador. “We’ve been talking about Claudia for a very long time and we had a dream of meeting Claudia and trying to get her involved in Zumba because we’d go on YouTube and type in ‘Claudia Leitte’ and see her with concerts of 800,000 people,” Perlman said. “You take the biggest star in the U.S., multiply that by 10, and that’s Claudia in Brazil.”

Go back to basics with the Bible Have you read the Bible lately? I mean, have you really read it for personal insight and direction for this (sometimes) crazy world we live in? If you haven’t, I know four reasons why you haven’t. Actually, they’re pretty good THE reasons, so CHURCH let’s start DOCTOR there. You haven’t read Kent Hunter the Bible for your own personal growth for quite a while. Here are some reasons why: • You got a lot of that in Sunday school as a kid. Even though you know better, you’ve convinced yourself you’ve “been there, done that,” and you know all that stuff. • You just don’t have time. Life is busy. Besides, there are e-mails to check and TV to watch. You’re working harder for fewer results. Life is just too stressful.

•

• When you last encountered the Bible, you started at the beginning — where else? You got bogged down about 50 pages in, where the subject turned to a bunch of ceremonial laws from a civilization that became irrelevant about 15 centuries ago. • As you read the Bible, you encountered old, archaic words we don’t use anymore. It became harder to understand than Shakespeare. You quickly surmised it’s written for Bible scholars, and you set it aside. If those issues fit you, your first reaction to my suggestion that you read the Bible is probably, “You’re crazy!” Keep reading. A few insights and a second try could greatly improve your life — honestly! Let’s look at these four hurdles again: • You got it in Sunday school. Maybe you did, and maybe you didn’t. But you’re a different person now. You’re older and you’re facing a world with a lot of challenges. Most people are surprised how helpful the Bible can be — if you overcome some of these hurdles.

• You’re right, you’re busy. Life is hectic. But most of us find time for what we really value. My life is very demanding. I travel a lot, teach, write, work with churches, and run a tree farm, as well as enjoy my family — along with a few hobbies. But I wouldn’t miss my chance to read the Bible each day. I mean, it helps me understand life — a lot. You won’t know the value unless you give it a try. But how you try will make all the difference. Let me explain in the next two points. • The Bible was written over many centuries. It has several kinds of literature. It’s not just a book, but a collection of books. So, here’s an odd recommendation. Don’t start at the beginning. Start with the book of Proverbs. These are wise sayings, based on divine wisdom. Mix in some of the Psalms. These are the words to songs, and like songs today, they have some great lessons for life. Then read the gospel (“Gospel” just means good news) of John. Then read Luke. Then try Philippians (named after a group of

believers in a church by that name). But this won’t work for you unless you are sure to follow my next step. • Get a modern translation of the Bible. At first you might object, remembering the Old English version you grew up with. That’s because you got hooked on the words (even though you didn’t understand some of them). They sounded like poetry or “religious.” Trust me, God is not hung up on the words, but the meaning. Just try a modern translation. Go to a Christian bookstore and ask the clerk to guide you toward the newest in translations. Give it a try. You will discover a treasure chest of value for life. I promise! So does the Ruler of the universe. Now encourage everyone in your church to do the same. You will add value to everyone. KENT HUNTER is known as the

Church Doctor. His most recent e-books are “The Future Is Now” and “The J-Dog Journey,” available at no cost. He can be contacted at 800- 626-8515. His website is churchdoctor.org.

Everyone on Planet Earth is one of God’s children GUEST COLUMN Debby Owen

•

The age old question – why does God allow horrific things to happen every day here on Earth? Recently I reread “The Shack” by Wm. Paul Young. One critic calls the book the “Pilgrim’s Progress” of our generation. The main character, Mac, asks a messenger of God why a twisted individual was allowed to snatch his beautiful 4-year-old daughter, terrorize her, and then kill her. Mac’s “great sadness” about this event had been haunting him for such a long time. The messenger reminds Mac that it was not God who chose for us to live in a twisted

world, we chose this for ourselves. It’s all spelled out in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Then the messenger asks Mac, “Which of your children would you choose to spend eternity in hell?” Mac responds, “Don’t be ridiculous.” “Well,” the messenger said, “Don’t you want the twisted man who grabbed your daughter to burn in hell for all eternity?” Then, explained the messenger, every person born on this Earth is in fact a child of God’s creation. Yes, we are all victims of this world’s

values. Yes, if we are raised by a sick twisted individual, we could become that too. But the truth is God loves us all with a perfect love every day. He doesn’t want to choose which of his children will spend eternity in hell, either. He doesn’t want it so badly that he sent a part of himself, his son, to live, be tortured, and then hung on a cross to take all the sick, twisted sins with him. At this point in the conversation Mac feels his “great sadness” begin to lift. The messenger gives Mac a vision of his daughter playing with her brothers and sisters. The

siblings are dreaming, but Missy, Mac’s daughter is not. Then from there Missy runs off and jumps straight into the arms of Jesus. Mac gets to see all of this transpire. I think God’s plan is that as we, one by one, learn about and are able to grasp the true sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all mankind, it will heal us, one by one. Christ’s sacrifice and love can heal the sick, the twisted, the addicted, the self-centered, the lonely, the pious, the self-righteous, and the grieving. I’ve noticed something about the Bible. We can know all the stories through and

through, but Satan is so good at what he does to distract us, we can go many, many years before we realize that at least one of those stories is about us. At least one of those stories is about me. And when I can pay attention long enough to ask God to help me really hear Jesus talking and own His instruction for myself, then I can become a little more like Jesus and begin to follow his Greatest Commandment. All Glory to God! DEBBY OWEN is a member of Destiny Family of Faith, Kendallville. She can be reached at debby. owen@hotmail.com

DEAR ABBY

Peach Custard Dessert is simple to make

Wife wants some affection from husband

DEAR ABBY: My husband, â€œRay,â€? and I have been together for eight years, married for one. He is a great husband who works Jeanne Phillips hard, is responsible, healthy, and he does half the household chores. He also tries to stay in great shape. We have a lot in common. My only problem is how Ray shows his love for me. Ray says he expresses his love by doing what needs to be done â€” repairs, yard work, grocery shopping, etc. I appreciate it, but it doesnâ€™t feel like love to me. Iâ€™d like him to buy me flowers, send me handwritten notes, take me to romantic candlelit dinners, etc. I reciprocate by giving him back rubs, baking him his favorite pie and buying him small gifts. How can I get my husband to understand that it would be good for our marriage to give each other these â€œextraâ€? acts of sweetness? We have talked about it, but he hasnâ€™t changed. â€” DEMONSTRATING LOVE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR DEMONSTRATING LOVE: You canâ€™t dictate how someone â€œshouldâ€? express love. If the gestures youâ€™re looking for donâ€™t come naturally, it really is defeating the purpose to demand it. Many women would kill to have a husband who demonstrated his love by doing all the things your husband does. Unless Ray has suddenly changed since your wedding, this is the person he was all during your seven-year courtship. The chances of him changing to any great degree are slim, so try to accept him the way he is, and youâ€™ll both be happier.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are in our early 30s and both have full-time jobs. Because of our busy work schedules and a general lack of desire to be parents, we have decided not to have children. We have nothing against kids, but we feel it isnâ€™t the best fit for our lifestyle. The problem is my mother. She has a small farm I was always told I would one day inherit and move back to. My degree is in agriculture, and my husband and I have been saving for this for some time. Mom now says unless we have a child to pass the farm onto, we canâ€™t have it. I am devastated about not being able to fulfill our dream and the pressure of my mother trying to force parenthood on us. I refuse to cave into her demand, but Iâ€™m not sure how to handle myself around her. Should I cut off contact until she stops badgering me? Should I just let her remarks go? I am sad and hurt to have been put in this position. Any advice? â€” CORNERED IN OHIO DEAR CORNERED: People who donâ€™t want to be parents usually donâ€™t make very good ones â€” and to bring a child into the world in order to get your hands on your motherâ€™s farm would be unfair to the child. I see no reason to cut off your mother. When she raises this subject again, tell her that even if you had a baby â€œto pass the farm onto,â€? there is no guarantee the child would WANT it. In the meantime, continue saving your money so you will have a sufficient down payment for a farm of your own â€” no strings attached. DEAR ABBY: I have read your column for years and like it. But now I think you must be a man. I still like the column, maybe even more, but you do seem like a man. Are you one? Or is Abby a committee? â€” CURIOUS IN TUCSON DEAR CURIOUS: I heard a rumor years ago that Dear Abby was an overweight, unshaven, cigar-smoking man, but I assure you it isnâ€™t true. I write my own column, and this morning when I emerged from my shower and looked in the mirror, I was definitely female.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 25, 2013

This week my husband Joe and the boys have been busy in the evenings trimming the fence rows. We have the posts, gates, and fence wire here to fence in the hay field. The horses and ponies will be glad to be back on pasture again. We put our pasture field into beans this year. Eventually we will want to put it back into a hay field. We were going to put corn in that field but the farmer has seed corn across the road. Field corn has to be a certain distance away from seed corn. The farmer offered to trade us corn for beans. We had quite a rude awakening around 2:30 a.m. one morning. A guy knocked at our door telling us our horses and ponies are out on the road. Everyone got dressed and grabbed flashlights. The men in the truck helped by driving down the road to shine their headlights for us. We had them all headed for the barn when the leader of the pack, Stormy, the pony, decided we needed more exercise. He headed past the house and of course the horses followed. We were able to head off the rest of the ponies and got them in the barn. It did look funny seeing the little Prancer

(the miniature colt) coming down the road with all the big horses. The horses went around our neighbor Joeâ€™s house and Elizabeth ran that way to head them back. When they headed back they ran across the road and around neighbor Ireneâ€™s barn and into the bean field across the road. We THE finally had AMISH every way COOK blocked off and Elizabeth headed Lovina Eicher them toward the barn again. That time was successful. It was past 3 a.m. Joe was glad he had the next day off. Someone forgot to shut a gate which was a good lesson for us to check all gates before going to bed. Elizabeth tripped and fell while running after the horses. She has badly bruised and scratched knees and hands. Two mornings after that the horses popped the hinges

â€˘

on the gate and were happily eating in the hayfield. Itâ€™s like they are telling us to hurry with that fence so they can eat the fresh grass. This time it was daylight and we were able to round them up and head them right through the gates by the hayfield. And of course we tried to bribe Stormy with a scoop of feed so he wouldnâ€™t be a troublemaker again. Our neighbors have been over helping evenings to get the holes dug for the new posts. Saturday we will have more help in hopes of getting everything enclosed for the horse and ponies. We will have everyone that helped and their families over for a chicken barbecue Saturday evening. Meanwhile the garden is still producing a lot of cucumbers and tomatoes. We have been canning more dill pickles and salsa. I pulled the red beets last night. Detasseling is done now. Verena and Loretta are still leaving around 3 p.m. to stay with 93-year-old Vivian. They come home around 12:30 a.m. They want to bake cookies for her today when they are there. She said she would like sugar cookies. We have a bushel of

peaches here waiting to be worked up. Have two more bushels on order. Try this recipe:

Car dealer balks at fixing paint job DEAR BRUCE: I bought a car right from the dealership showroom. I just noticed that they forgot to apply a clear coat to the vehicle. This is the worst paint job I have ever seen. Iâ€™ve gone back to the dealer and of course they wonâ€™t help me. I made a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, and they said this isnâ€™t a quality/ workmanship issue. Iâ€™m just an average hard-working American that took it on the chin from this major car company. â€” S.W., via email DEAR S.W.: You say that you are taking it on the chin from a major car company and the dealer wonâ€™t help you. I donâ€™t understand that. Tell the dealer that you want to meet with the zone officer in your

area and take the complaint directly to him. I think the likelihood is that they will agree with you and have the car properly painted. DEAR BRUCE: Is it possible SMART to make MONEY my married daughter the benefiBruce Williams ciary of our will while excluding her husband? There are going to be important works of art passed on to her, and I do not trust her husband in the event of a

â€˘

divorce. My husband and I have spent over 40 years and made many sacrifices to obtain these works of art, and we do not wish to have our son-in-law acquire them. â€” L.K., via email DEAR L.K.: The straight answer is no. You can leave the items to your daughter in your will, but when they become hers and are acquired during their marriage, the art will then become part of the community property, in most circumstances. What you may be able to do is make your daughter the beneficiary of a revocable trust that will own the artwork. In the trust, you can spell out that in the event of her death, these things can be left to anyone you chose. This is a tricky proposition, and I have given you

only a quick answer. You should certainly hire a competent attorney, licensed to do business in your jurisdiction, to draw up the trust. If he says it canâ€™t be done, I am not sure what to tell you. You certainly donâ€™t want to let the art become hers upon your demise without restriction. Send your questions to: Smart Money, P.O. Box 2095, Elfers, FL 34680. Email to: bruce@brucewilliams.com.

DEAR SARA: I froze a few loaves of quick bread, and I plan to bake more and freeze them for family gift-giving or to serve guests during the busy holiday season. How long can they be kept frozen and still taste good? â€” Olivia, Ohio DEAR OLIVIA: Iâ€™d eat them within three months of freezing them. It wonâ€™t be unsafe after that time period, but the taste and texture

starts to decline. You might not mind the taste after three months, but for gift-giving or serving to guests, I wouldnâ€™t freeze too far ahead.

Study links Alzheimer’s and gum disease Here is a collection of bits of information I have picked up over the past few weeks.

The same benefit was observed in those who ate four servings of DR. TERRY lean fish, such as cod, GAFF haddock or canned tuna, each week.

Mosquitoes are worse this summer in parts of U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) — The tiny mosquito all too often has man on the run. And this summer, it seems even worse than usual. “You can’t get from the car to inside our house without getting attacked, it’s that bad,” high school teacher Ryan Miller said from his home in Arlington, Va. Minutes earlier, he saw a mosquito circling his 4-month-old daughter — indoors. Experts say it’s been a buggier-than-normal summer in many places around the

U.S. because of a combination of drought, heavy rain and heat. It may be worst in the Southeast, which is getting hit with three years’ worth of bugs in one summer, said Jonathan Day, who studies insects at the University of Florida. Two years of drought were followed by incredibly heavy rain this year. During dry spells, mosquito eggs often didn’t get wet enough to hatch. This year’s rain revived those, along with the normal 2013 batch.

In parts of Connecticut this summer, mosquito traps had double the usual number of bugs. Minnesota traps in July had about triple the 10-year average. And in central California, traps had five times as many of one key species as the recent average. Humans have been battling the blood-drinking bugs for thousands of years, and despite man’s huge advantages in technology and size, people are not getting the upper hand. Just lots of bites on the hand. “We have to keep

fighting just to hold our own,” said Tom Wilmot, past president of the Mosquito Control Association and a Michigan mosquito control district chief. And in some places, he said, the mosquitoes are winning. In southwestern Florida around Fort Myers, Lee County mosquito control was getting more than 300 calls per day from residents at times this summer, a much higher count than usual. But the more impressive tally was the number

of bugs landing on inspectors’ unprotected legs: more than 100 a minute in some hotspots, said deputy director Shelly Radovan. Across Florida near Vero Beach, Roxanne Connelly said there have been some days this month when she just wouldn’t go in the backyard. It’s been too bad even for her — and she’s a mosquito researcher at the University of Florida and head of the mosquito association. Many communities fight back by spraying pesticides,

Coffee, wine and sushi! New pregnancy book says OK NEW YORK (AP) — Emily Oster isn’t a baby doctor. She’s an economist and a mom who wanted to know more about all those rules handed down to women after the pregnancy stick goes pink. Only two cups of coffee a day! No alcohol. Beware deli meats. Being pregnant, she said, felt a lot like being a child, so she decided to take a deep dive into research covering everything from wine and weight gain to prenatal testing and epidurals. What she found was some of the mainstays of pregnancy advice are based on inconclusive or downright faulty science. To this data-cruncher, an associate professor in the University of Chicago’s business school, those magical nine months became a question of correlation and causation. Some of her conclusions? Weight gain during pregnancy is less important than a woman’s starting weight and not gaining enough may be more harmful. Light drinking is fine (up to two glasses of wine a week in the first trimester and up to a glass a day in the second and third trimesters). And much of the evidence supports having three to four cups of coffee daily, which made Oster very, very happy. There’s more, of course, and not all of it runs counter to standard medical advice. And she happily reports in “Expecting Better,” her book corralling all the research for other women to share, that her 2-year-old daughter, Penelope, is healthy and happy. The book, from Penguin Press, is out this week. A conversation with Oster: AP: Have you written the “Freakonomics” of pregnancy? Oster: I think it’s right that it feels a little bit like ‘Freakonomics’ because Steve (Levitt) and I are both economists, but the goal here

but mosquitoes are starting to win that battle, too, developing resistance to these chemicals. Soon many places could be out of effective weapons, Connelly and other mosquito-fighters said. Miller, who teaches environmental sciences, said he normally would oppose spraying but has been lobbying for the county to break out the pesticides this year. The county told him there was no money in the budget and recommended he hire a private pest control business, he said.

was really to write down an approach that was right for me. The approach being thinking carefully through all of these decisions, getting the best data that you can and then structuring the decision in a way that takes into account your personal preferences, tolerance for risk and all the kinds of things that we should be thinking about every day. AP: Do you anticipate blowback from women and doctors because you’re an economist and not a medical professional who helps manage pregnancies? Oster: For sure but I

certainly do not envision women reading this book and saying, ‘Oh, like, I can deliver my own baby now, right?’ I think that there’s a real sense in which pregnancy should be something that you do with your doctor, but I think that for a lot of women the time you have with your doctors is limited and it can be difficult to get all of the answers to your questions. AP: Are most pregnant women ill-informed? Are doctors and other pregnancy professionals lax in keeping up to date on research that might lead to more specific recommendations? Oster: I think we see sometimes where practice lags behind recommendations. Not all practitioners, obviously. As an example, in the case of prenatal testing, even though more recent recommendations don’t favor the 35-year-old cutoff as much, that’s still a highly practiced thing, so I think there’s a sense in which there is some slow creep of knowledge. I actually think pregnant women are really well-informed but I think that there’s a tremendous amount of confusing and conflicting information out there. You could read every pregnancy book and every pregnancy website and come away thinking on some topics I have no idea what the real facts are.

‘The World’s End’ a toast for 3 filmmaking friends

ANSWERS ON PAGE C2

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s not the end of the world, but “The World’s End” marks a creative conclusion for Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright. For the British trio behind “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz,” Friday’s release of “The World’s End” completes a trilogy. The longtime friends have no future collaborations planned as each heads into new projects that match their growing profiles. Wright is writing and directing Marvel’s “Ant-Man.” Pegg will star in “Hector and the Search for Happiness,” while Frost is starring (and dancing) in the upcoming comedy “Cuban Fury.” It’s fitting, then, that their final film together (for now) is a toast — 12 times over. In “The World’s End,” Pegg and Frost play former friends among a group reunited to take on “The Golden Mile”: a dozen pubs in their old U.K. hometown, downing a pint at each. The real-life friends gathered at a Sunset Strip hotel (over ice waters) to talk about movies, friendship and beer. AP: Is it bittersweet to complete this trilogy? Pegg: It feels like we’ve done something we set out to do. … We know we’ll probably work together again. Highly likely, in fact. Frost: At the heart of what we do is that we’re all best mates, so it’s not like that’s that, we’ll never see each other. We’re friends first and foremost. Wright: I feel the sense of satisfaction that we made good on a promise. We made a promise to ourselves as much as we did the fans of making three movies, so to actually finish

It couldn’t be apple juice or tea. … It tasted a little bit like weak-tasting lemonade, I guess, and we put away pints of the stuff.

Glamorous ‘camping’ in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — Ahh, the joys of roughing it in the great outdoors — champagne, high thread-count sheets, flat-screen television. Camping, New York City-style. At least a couple of city locales are offering this unusual option — the chance to sleep outdoors, incredibly comfortably. It’s an urban take on “glamping,” where hotel comforts are taken outside. “It’s basically being able to sleep under the stars in a luxury setting,” said Jeffrey Poirot, general manager at AKA Central Park, which offers an outdoor bedroom on its 1,000-square-foot terrace outside its 17th-floor penthouse. For about $2,000 per night, the offering includes a bedroom setup — queen bed, fireplace, television — but also a telescope to look at the stars and the ingredients for that campfire favorite, s’mores. AKA has been offering the option for the past few years, Poirot said. It’s a popular option in the summer months, and has been booked more than half a dozen times this year, he said. The idea of glamping (glamorous + camping, get

• it?) is a relatively recent arrival in the United States over the last decade or so but has been popular in other parts of the world, like Africa, where wealthy visitors wanted to travel but always in comfort. There are websites dedicated to it, showcasing luxury camping sites in some of the world’s most beautiful natural environments. On a recent night, Anita Waxman and Tom Dokton made a go of a night on the terrace. The couple, who live in San Francisco but spend time in New York City frequently in their roles producing musical theater, eagerly made use of the fire to roast some marshmallows. “That’s what camping is all about,” Waxman said, who admitted that in previous camping forays with friends, she would stay for dinner, then return to her home or a

hotel. “This is exactly what I want,” Waxman said, and Dokton agreed. “The access to the city, being in the middle of the city and having this kind of atmosphere, it’s fantastic,” he said. They had engaged in luxury camping during their travels internationally, but were thrilled to have the chance to do it in New York. And they still felt a sense of solitude, even in a city of millions. “There’s a sense of privacy up here, too,” Dokton said. At the Affinia Gardens hotel on the Upper East Side, guests who book the patio suite (starting at around $300 per night) can pick from a range of options from dinner outside to a bed made up on the patio floor in an actual tent.

Q. I want to remove the wall dividing my kitchen from my dining room. How do I know if it’s load bearing? Tony of Kendallville A. Tony, from the inside of your home all walls look pretty much the same. They are covered with drywall, plaster or paneling and typically contain wiring, plumbing or heating ducts. Exploring is required to get clues as to what’s in the wall before you start to tear things apart. Try to look in the basement or crawl space under the wall you want to remove to determine whether any electric or other lines run into the wall. You can also go up into the attic to see if there is anything coming out of SQUARE the subject wall. When CORNERS you are in the basement or attic space you can Jeff Deahl also identify how your house is constructed. If your floor and roof are stick framed, meaning using individual framing members, then the loads are transferred evenly to all framing components meaning most everything can be load bearing. Typically the load of a home is transferred from the roof down through the walls’ interior and exterior to the floor system that then transfers the load to the foundation of your home. The age of your home is a big indicator as to how it was constructed. Homes built in the last 50 years often contain roof trusses that transfer the load to a single interior wall and the exterior walls. Homes that were more recently built often contain engineered roof, wall and floor systems that should not be altered without the advice of a trained professional. Once you have done a little exploring and feel that removing your wall is doable you can remove the drywall from one side of the wall. Now you can see what you have and it can be better evaluated by a contractor. Almost any wall can be removed. It’s just a matter of how much work is required to properly transfer the load to adjacent walls and foundation. Headers or beams installed both in the attic or in the basement are typical components used. An open living space is very popular and is often a great improvement to any existing home.

Guide helps with discovery, selection of quality antiques When embarking on a new phase of life, like marriage, completing a degree or moving to a new home, many people chronicle the experience with the purchase of an object. When looking for an investment that is both fun and smart, art and antiques come to mind. For the novice collector or seasoned art and antiques lover who wants to jump into the market, I’ll share my insider tips on starting art collection. I’ve compiled an buying guide to help you find, understand, and collect the best examples of fine art and antiques.

Learn from masters First, learn as much as you can about art and antiques in places where you are not tempted to buy art or antiques. Visit museums, historical societies, libraries and other places where fine art and antiques are on display, but not for sale. You should learn about the various media (e.g., pastels, watercolors, bronzes, oils on canvas, etc.), art movements (e.g., Surrealism, Impressionism, Contemporary Realism, etc.) and subjects (e.g., still lifes, seascapes, portraits, etc.) so you have a good idea of what sparks your interest.

Remember, a big part of buying something good is learning to recognize quality pieces. I want you to buy something that you like that is also of high quality and worth the money.

This method will prevent you from buying just because the opportunity presents itself. Don’t think about buying a work of art or antique piece until you establish a budget.

Buy training

Stick to your budget Have a budget in mind, ART & settle on it, and ANTIQUES stick to it. Do not waiver and don’t convince to Dr. Lori yourself overspend because you fell in love with a piece. No matter what, you will be happy if you stick to your budget.

Back to basics Try to consider the basics starting with black and white. Don’t be taken in by an artwork’s color or an antique’s various forms and ornamental details. Some people who sell art or antiques will try to get you to like a particular work based solely on its colors or how it may fit into your color scheme.

Buy the work of the trained artists and established craftsmen. Better yet, buy the work of artists who teach other artists like those established instructors from prestigious art schools and apprenticeships. When it comes to market prowess, those who can, teach! Appraisers, curators and art historians know that the best quality work is always the best choice for a collection. It will hold its value long term.

BANI Standard of the Week • The Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new homebuyers and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of the project against an industry approved set of standards. These standards have been developed by the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis as a service to new home and remodeling homeowners in the Central Indiana area who are working with an association member. These standards create a series of performance standards that the member builders and the homeowners can use to communicate and understand each others’ expectations regarding the building or remodeling project. The standards address the most prevalent issues that arise between the builder and the customer before the project, during the project, and, most importantly, after the project is completed.

Background In reviewing this section, it is necessary to establish standards for the proper use of the electrical system. In order for the electrical

For this reason, recognized electrical codes have established that ground fault current interrupters of GFCI protection are required at all sink areas (kitchen, wet bar, bathroom vanities), garages, unfinished basements and exterior outlets at ground level. Appliances using large amounts of current, such as freezers and refrigerators should not be connected to these outlets. Use appropriate light bulb wattages and amount of electrical motor equipment for each household circuit. Exceeding the capacity of a circuit may cause circuit breakers to trip. This tripping

For a better bathroom, fixes small and large THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This product publicity photo provided by Kohler Co. shows a white Numi Toilet. You want a better bathroom, but don’t want to put a drain on your finances? It’s easy to give the bathroom a makeover with small changes.

Eds: With AP Photos. You want a better bathroom, but don’t want to put a drain on your finances? Worry not. This is one room in the house where little things mean a lot. On the other hand, if you want to go luxe, there are also a variety of new products that can turn the bathroom into a showcase.

Kohler Co. shows a Moxie Showerhead in polished chrome with an integrated speaker.

Simple fixes Often small and poorly lit, bathrooms can end up neglected. But they’re probably the easiest room to make over, says Ingrid Abramovitch, senior editor and writer at Elle Decor magazine and author of “Restoring a House in the City” (Artisan, 2009). A very basic change is to buy a new shower curtain and good quality towels. Is this a kids’ bathroom? Think bright colors and fun patterns. Or, to create a spa-like retreat, look for fluffy towels in serene neutrals, and maybe add accessories like new soap dishes and towel rails in elegant materials. If you want to up the luxe factor, think about installing a

towel warmer. Another easy change is to swap out your shower head for a new, multifunction model. If your water pressure isn’t all it could be, shower heads designed to boost spray power can help. You might also try a shower filter to see

if you notice an improvement; basic models can be found from under $30 from brands such as Aquasana and Sprite. A hot trend is bringing music into the bathroom — the better to accompany your shower serenades. The Moxie showerhead from

Kohler, for example, has a built-in wireless speaker that uses Bluetooth technology to sync with your music device. (Suggested retail for the showerhead: $199.) If you’re feeling handy, one of the cheapest ways to transform a bathroom — or any room — is color. “You can always very quickly change the aesthetics of a room with a can of paint,” says David Alhadeff, interior designer and founder of The Future Perfect, a furnishings store based in San Francisco and New York. Is the room white? How

might it look in bright yellow with towels and bath mat to match? Look for the new humidity-resistant paints that come in flat finishes for a refined look. Another way to make a big change is to reevaluate the lighting. A lot of bathrooms still have a single overhead light fixture, which casts unflattering shadows. “Lighting is everything in the bathroom, and there are a lot of tricks to how we want to illuminate ourselves within that space to make ourselves look best,” says Alhadeff. “If you’re getting only overhead lighting, you’re not getting the clear picture of what you look like.” If you already have lighting around your mirror, a change of bulbs can work wonders, and lighting along the side of the mirrors is preferable, says Alhadeff. Creating layered lighting is more involved than buying a new towel, especially if you have to hire someone to add electrical outlets for sconces and mirror lighting, but it can make a bathroom much more inviting. A cheaper, albeit temporary, way to create a

soft ambience: Light a few candles.

Big-ticket items So much for budget-conscious bathroom makeovers. What if you’ve just won the lottery and are ready to make a really big splash? Large, free-standing tubs are chic right now, says Abramovitch. Some people are making room for them by taking guest bedrooms and turning them into a bathroom-dressing room, with a free-standing tub surrounded by built-in closets and other accessories. Hot tubs, too, have evolved, with new systems that create smaller bubbles, as opposed to the roaring jets of yesteryear. And what high-end bathroom would be complete without a high-tech toilet? Take Kohler’s Numi model, which includes a motion-activated cover and seat, built-in bidet function, charcoal-filter deodorizer and air vents at the floor to warm your toes. A remote control with a touch screen allows you to set your preferences on settings and, of course, you can play your favorite music via Bluetooth connection.

Backyard chickens? A hard-boiled assessment THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“Eat local” is the foodie mantra, and nothing is more local than an egg from your own backyard. That enticement has led many city dwellers and suburbanites to consider putting up a coop and keeping chickens. The online community BackYardChickens.com, for example, has more than 200,000 members, about half of whom have joined in the last two years. But what’s the cost in time and money — and what will the neighbors think? Sandy Schmidt of Silver Spring, Md., compares the time required for basic

chicken care to that for a more familiar pet: “It’s about like having a cat,” she says. “Make sure they have food and water every day, scoop out the coop — like a litter box — and let them out of the coop.” One big difference, though, is that your neighbors may never even see your cat, while many people worry about the smell and noise of chickens. Rob Ludlow of BackyardChickens.com thinks these concerns aren’t usually relevant to the small size of the average backyard flock. After all, he says, “What if everyone thought owning a dog in your backyard would

smell and sound like a dog kennel?” Still, neither dogs nor chickens are silent, so consideration is important. Roosters make most of the noise and aren’t legal in most places, so be aware that if you decide to start with chicks, the sexes can’t always be distinguished at birth. You can avoid this problem by getting adult hens, or make sure you get a breed where the sex differences are obvious. “There are about four or five breeds out of two or three hundred that can be sexed at birth, just by looking at the color,” says Tyler Phillips of Rent A Coop in Potomac, Md.

Even hens, however, can turn out to be more talkative than expected, as Lisa Sandbank of Santa Monica, Calif., found out. Both Schmidt and Sandbank say their neighbors report hearing the chickens, although some claim to enjoy the sound (and the regular gifts of eggs they receive to help keep the peace). Schmidt started out with one of Phillips’ rental coops, which she planned to return if the neighbors complained. About half a dozen such businesses across the country have opened in the last few years, so this kind of trial chicken-keeping is a growing option.

Sandy Schmidt, who owns a portable chicken coop, rounds up her chickens Aug. 11 at her home in Silver Spring, Md. “Eat local” is the foodie mantra, and nothing is more local than an egg from your own backyard. More and more urban and suburban dwellers are deciding to try chicken farming.

The dining area in the house is currently used as a third bedroom for a grandson. The property has an extra large lot for this part of town. The fenced backyard is also a plus.

This great property is close to Auburn and is situated on two acres with additional acreage available. It has had many updates including a new roof in 2004, new wiring and plumbing in 2010, a new driveway and furnace in 2012, and many more. The home has three bedrooms, two full baths, a large laundry area with closet storage, cabinets and a sink. The family room has Vermont weathered board and newer carpet. There is original hardwood ﬂooring throughout the home under the carpet. The kitchen has plenty of counter and cabinet space. The house has a large dining room and a three-car attached garage. There are three outbuildings, a 15-by-16 workshop area, a 30-by-40 barn with steel siding and a 16-by-30 lean-to help with the outdoor storage needs.

Gardening tools go mobile

Create stationery with chalkboard paint

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Smart phones that respond to signals from plants? Laptops that coordinate irrigation at dozens of vineyards? Remote weather stations programmed to text frost alerts? Many commercial growers are using laptops, tablets or smart phones to keep costs down and production up. Home gardeners too, if they can afford it. Apps may get more attention, but they’re small potatoes compared with the software and online programs already at work or being tested for horticultural use. Simply scanning a monitor or applying a few keystrokes can save water and fuel, redirect a labor force or protect a crop. “The online-based software is really the heart that drives all this technology,” said Paul Goldberg, director of operations at Bettinelli Vineyards and a director of Napa Valley Grapegrowers. “A good portion of my day is now spent monitoring vineyards and making decisions to control certain vineyard operations via my phone or tablet in the field.” Perhaps the most powerful viticultural tool to come along in recent years is the solar-powered remote weather station, Goldberg said. These self-contained units are scattered throughout hundreds of vineyards providing site-specific streaming weather data. “Even more impressive is that the stations’ online software can be set to notify growers with a phone call or text if something goes awry like a sudden pressure drop from a broken irrigation pipe, a well running dry or a decline in temperature posing a frost threat in the spring,” he said. Remote weather stations have become the platforms for integrating other powerful technology to manage vineyards from afar,

A mobile phone displays Burpee Home Gardens online-based software for horticulture being used at home in Langley, Wash. Burpee Home Gardens has introduced two mobile Web tools, not apps, that make smartphones into just another a gardening tool.

Goldberg said. Some examples: — Sap flow monitors that

turn grapevines into living sensors by telling growers when or even if they need water. “This technology paired with other sophisticated tools has made irrigation much more of an exact science,” Goldberg said. — Wind machines controlled by computer, tablet or smartphone. — Data collection. Growers can access vineyard information, work orders, fertilizer and irrigation programs, graphs, and a variety of viticulture tools from tablets or smart phones in the field. Horticulturists at The Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, Calif., meantime, irrigate with a computerized system that automatically shuts down after a certain amount of water has been used rather than being operated by timers. “The amount of water that can come out in a given time could be variable, so it’s easy to over- or underwater if you’re just using a timer,” said

Andrew Wong, Bancroft’s head gardener. “They’re also great if you live in a community that has water restrictions. If you’re allotted 500 gallons, then that’s what you’ll use.” Another tech tool used at the garden is a self-guided audio tour that responds to prompts from smartphone users. “It provides information not found in our garden pamphlets,” Wong said. Burpee Home Gardens has introduced two mobile web tools, not apps, using smart phones as gardening tools. Gardeners can specify the size and location of their plant sites and “My Garden Designer” does the rest, creating “recipes” for easily planted containers or flowerbeds. “Burpee Garden Coach” is a free mobile web tool that provides online tutoring. Users customize their profiles by supplying their zip codes to receive a continuing series of tips on flower or vegetable gardening via text messages or email alerts.

Chalkboard art has become a big trend in home decorating, from wall hangings that mimic vintage menu boards to entire walls covered with chalkboard paint. So why not use that trend in notecard size? Turning a notecard into a mini-chalkboard is as easy as applying a few coats of spray paint to a piece of cardstock, and the resulting surface can be customized in countless ways. Make yourself a pile of blank chalkboard cards, and you won’t be limited to the clichéd greetings on store-bought cards — you can personalize them for any occasion. Don’t like your handwriting? Draw a cute cupcake on a birthday card or even a simple smiley face — it’s a chalkboard, not a fine art canvas. A chalk ink marker allows for bolder, smoother lines, but a regular piece of school chalk adds rustic appeal. In either case, if you mess up, you can always erase it and start over! A light spritz with aerosol hairspray will set the chalk enough that it won’t get smudged going through the mail. MATERIALS for six 4¼-by-3 5/8-inch cards: — 1 sheet of 8½-by-11-inch cardstock, any color (this will be covered with paint) — 2 sheets of 8½-by-11-inch cardstock for the card interior (I used kraft paper, but white or any light- to medium-color is fine) — chalkboard spray paint — craft knife and straight edge or paper trimmer — glue stick or double-sided tape — corner-rounding paper punch (optional) — chalk — chalk ink markers (optional) — 6 pieces of 8½- by-11 inch lighter weight paper for

envelopes (I used notebook paper, old maps and paper lunch bags) — 1 sheet of cardstock to make an envelope template

INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Working outside or in a well-ventilated area, spray one sheet of cardstock with chalkboard spray paint. Two or three light coats applied several minutes apart should be sufficient. 2. When the painted cardstock is thoroughly dry, cut it in half lengthwise and then cut each piece into three pieces, each measuring 4¼ by 3 5/8 inches. These will become your card fronts. 3. Cut each of the other two pieces of cardstock into three rectangles, each measuring 3 5/8 inches by 8 ½ inches. Fold in half to form a card. 4. Glue a chalkboard card front to the front of each card. Or for variety, cut some of the chalkboard fronts into “speech bubble” shapes, or trim them with decorative edge scissors. Use a paper-punch to round the corners of the cards, if desired. 5. To “season” the chalkboards, rub a piece of chalk over the surface of the cards and erase it with a soft cloth. I found the surface fairly forgiving — if you make a mistake or don’t like your lettering, wipe it down with a barely-damp cloth and start over. 6. To make the envelopes, search online for free, A2 envelope templates. I used one from a blog called Artsy Bride (http://bit.ly/1cXTgsO ). Download and print the template on cardstock at 85 percent of its original size. Cut out the template and trace it onto notebook paper, a map or a lunch bag. 7. Cut out the envelope shape and fold the sides and flaps in, gluing where necessary to hold the envelope together.
