Trine’s impact $73 million ANGOLA — Trine University has reported an economic impact of $73 million for the 2013-14 academic year. The figure is based on its total expenses multiplied by an average multiplier for Indiana shared by Independent Colleges of Indiana. “Trine University is proud to contribute to local, regional and statewide economies,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Trine president. “While our priority is educating and preparing students for careers, Trine is also focused on boosting economic development in the region through our academic programs and Innovation One. These efforts also translate into additional opportunities for real-world experience for our students.” Innovation One, started
in August 2012, is a venture that brings ideas to market by providing expertise and services in a number of areas. This summer, Trine University became the first college campus to house an entrepreneur-in-residence with Elevate Ventures, a nonprofit entrepreneurial venture capital firm with offices throughout Indiana. Robert Clark, Elevate Venture’s Northeast Indiana entrepreneur-in-residence, has an office at Trine. Clark’s responsibilities include mentoring portfolio company leadership and sourcing and evaluating new investment opportunities in northeast Indiana. Trine serves as a large employer in the area with more than 450 employees, 275 of which are full time.
On campus, the more than $5 million, nearly 25,000-squarefoot Jim and Joan Bock Center for Innovation and Biomedical Engineering is finished after less than a year of construction. The Bock Center is home to Innovation One and houses numerous laboratories to support Innovation One and Trine’s engineering programs. Near the university’s main entrance, work is well underway on the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts. The $6 million renovation and expansion of the former Angola Christian Church will create a regional venue for arts and culture and provide a home base for Trine’s music program. The Furth Center is on schedule to open in spring 2014. Trine’s investment in its physical

HAMILTON — A Hamilton Community Schools teacher lived it up while spending her summer finding inspiration for a play. Pam Harger has been involved in youth philanthropy for many years and has been active with Forever Improving Steuben Together, the youth arm of the Steuben County Community Foundation. This summer — thanks to a Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship grant — Harger traveled across the country collecting material for a production that will be performed at Hamilton High School on Nov. 15 and 16. Titled “Live it, UP!” the drama is meant to inspire youth to do great things. “There’s so many young people that need that little push to get outside their box,” said Harger. She said with a little motivation they can do things to “change their own life and maybe change the world.” With her Teacher Creativity Fellowship, Harger enrolled in a storytelling workshop at Ocracoke Island in June and a writers’ conference in Mendocino, Calif., in late July. During that time, she completed the majority of “Live it, UP!” which will be presented by a

handful of Hamilton Junior Senior High School students. This year, the endowment gave 100 $10,000 grants to teachers, principals and assistant principals. Their projects are meant to be personally renewing and intellectually revitalizing. Harger was one of three teachers in Steuben County who received the award. Harger said the trip to Ocracoke, a quaint island community off the North Carolina coast, was pleasant. It features “mom-and-pop” stores and “wonderful restaurants.” “Not only were we there to tell stories about our own lives, but learn stories about the island,” Harger said. She was one of 16 participants in the storytelling workshop led by Donald Davis. “It was challenging but it was very laid back,” said Harger. The workshop was seven days; eight hours the first day and four hours the remaining six days. There was work in groups and the opportunity to tell stories as an individual for the rest of the assembly. They attended Porch Talks at a museum, and one day Harger acted as emcee.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenyan security forces battled al-Qaida-linked terrorists in an upscale mall for a third day Monday in what they said was a final push to rescue the last few hostages in a siege that has left at least 62 people dead. While the government announced Sunday that “most” hostages had been released, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 were still being held by a band of attackers described as “a multinational collection from all over the world.” The expert, who insisted on anonymity to talk freely about the situation, said many hostages had been freed or escaped in the previous 24-36 hours, including some who were in hiding. However, there were at least 30 hostages when the assault by al-Shabab militants began Saturday, he said, and “it’s clear” that Kenyan security officials “haven’t cleared the building fully.” Flames and dark plumes of smoke rose Monday above the Westgate shopping complex for more than an hour after four large explosions rocked the surrounding SEE STORY, PAGE A10

plant to support its programs, students and community exceeds $75 million over the past eight years. Other efforts during the past academic year, including drawing people to the area and volunteer activities in the community, also likely had an economic impact in the region, the university said. Trine’s campus hosted a number of events that attracted more than 4,100 visitors to the area. That was in addition to the university’s own numerous educational, entertainment and athletic events. Nearly 40,000 guests attended athletic events at Trine while approximately 650 attended Trine’s campus visit days. Trine students contributed nearly 7,000 volunteer hours in the community.

UCC, pastor get $50,000 grant BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — First Congregational United Church of Christ has received a $50,000 Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Grant. The grant enables the Rev. Deborah S. Davis, pastor, to participate in the program for Indiana congregations, funded Davis by the Indianapolis-based Lilly Endowment Inc. and administered by Christian Theological Seminary. UCC is one of 22 congregations in Indiana selected to participate in the competitive program. Ministers whose congregations
are awarded the grants use the renewal experience to engage in a period of reflection. The approach offers ministers a carefully-considered respite that may include rest, travel, study, arts experiences and prayer. The program allows Indiana congregations to apply for grants up to $50,000 to support a renewal experience for their pastors. It allow congregations to partner with their ministers in developing an experience addressing unique renewal needs. The program encourages pastors to involve their families in renewal activities. “Lilly endowment intends for this program to enable pastors to live for awhile at a different pace and in a new environment in Sabbath time and space,” said
Christopher Coble, vice president for religion at the endowment, in a news release. “We can think of no better way to honor these hardworking, faithful men and women than to help them experience personal growth and spiritual renewal in ways that they themselves design and find meaningful. We regularly hear that these renewal experiences are transformative for pastors, their families and congregations.” The endowment was established in 1999 and allow congregations to support their pastors with the gift of extended time away from ministerial duties and responsibilities. Since the endowment was established nationally, more than 1,800 congregations have participated.

Fort Wayne Ballet gets endowment thanks to foundation FORT WAYNE — The Edward D. and Ione Auer Foundation in Fort Wayne will donate $1 million to the Fort Wayne Ballet to establish an endowment fund named in honor of

During her tenure, it has grown from 87 students to more than 400. The 2010 book “On Technique” published by University Press of Florida named her one of the top 18 pedagogues in the world. The Auer Foundation was created in 1984 to carry on Edward and Ione Auer’s support of music, the arts, parks and education. The foundation is scheduled to continue making grants for endowments and scholarships until 2022.
ANGOLA — An Angola man was sentenced to two, six-year terms Monday in Steuben Superior Court. John Christopher Reynolds, 35, was convicted of two counts of forgery in late August by a Steuben County jury. On Monday, Judge William Fee sentenced Reynolds to six years on each count, to be served at the same time. Four years were suspended and the two years to Reynolds be served may be done on Steuben County Community Corrections. He will be on probation for four years following his served sentence. Reynolds received credit for 26 days spent in jail since his conviction. He must repay an area bank chain $1,200 for two checks he stole from a Pleasant Lake residence in April 2012 then used, forging the owner’s signature. Fee looked at former Steuben County convictions for check deception in 2002, which he said showed a similar kind of financial dishonesty. Reynolds, who was represented by public defender Benjamin Nordmann, may appeal the sentence within 30 days. Nordmann asked Fee for a light sentence on community corrections, noting that it is Reynolds’ first felony conviction. “It wasn’t done out of dishonest intent,” Nordmann added. Reynolds knew the victims and took the checks from their home, said Detective Shari Dean. He cashed each check for $600 on two separate occasions, while, Nordmann said, he was between jobs. Deputy prosecutor Travis Musser said he could find “simply no mitigators” in the case. He suggested the sentence imposed by Fee, saying the four-year probation term would provide a sufficient length of monitoring to assure the restitution is being paid.

BlackBerry agrees to sale for $4.7 billion TORONTO (AP) — BlackBerry has agreed to sell itself for $4.7 billion to a group led by largest shareholder, Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. BlackBerry said Monday that a letter of intent has been signed and its shareholders will receive $9 in cash for each share. Fairfax head Prem Watsa is a former board member who owns 10 percent of BlackBerry. Watsa stepped down when BlackBerry announced it was considering a sale last month. Watsa is one of Canada’s best-known value investors and the billionaire founder of Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. He has been compared to Warren Buffett because of his investing approach. BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis recruited Watsa to join the company’s board when Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie stepped aside as its co-CEOs in January, 2012. Trading of the company’s stock was halted ahead of the news. BlackBerry shares plunged after the company announced Friday a loss of nearly $1 billion and layoffs of 4,500 workers. The BlackBerry, pioneered in 1999, was once the dominant smartphone for on-the-go business people before Apple’s iPhone debuted in 2007. “We believe this transaction will open an exciting new private chapter for BlackBerry its customers, carriers and employees,” Watsa said in a statement.
People • ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star says Emmys lacked diversity NEW YORK (AP) — Ellen Pompeo (pahm-PAY’-oh) wasn’t a fan of this year’s Emmy Awards show. The 43-year-old actress says she “was really disappointed” by Sunday’s telecast. “I didn’t see any diversity in the Emmys at all. The Emmys felt so dated to me,” she said in an interview Pompeo Monday. “… That dance number was embarrassing. Did you see one person of color in that dance number?” “Grey’s Anatomy” is one of the more diverse shows on television, which Pompeo says is one of her favorite things about the series. “I’m extremely proud of our very, very diverse cast which represents the world that I walk around in every day,” she said. “Grey’s Anatomy” is now in its 10th season on ABC. The new season will premiere Thursday.

Ray Charles to be honored with stamp ATLANTA (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service is planning to add soul singer Ray Charles to its “Music Icons Forever” stamp series. Postal officials say the agency is releasing a stamp featuring the Albany, Ga., native on Monday along with one of the artist’s previously unreleased songs. Charles was a singer and songwriter who pioneered the soul and rhythm-and-blues genres. He died in 2004. Events are being planned in Atlanta and Los Angeles to celebrate Charles’ inclusion in the series. R&B singer Ashanti and the Morehouse College Glee Club are scheduled to perform at the Atlanta school’s Ray Charles Performing Arts Center. And Chaka Khan is headlining an event at the Grammy Museum. The U.S. Postal Service honors music legends each year by featuring them on limited-edition stamps.

Syrian refugees gather for food aid after crossing into Iraq at the Peshkhabour border point in Dahuk, Iraq. As the
Syrian crisis rages and debate heats up over Syria’s chemical weapons, the delivery of assistance is difficult.
Giving aid struggle in Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — Plans to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons will dominate talks about Syria at this week’s U.N. General Assembly in New York, but there also will be new pleas to deliver more humanitarian aid — a task as daunting as the need is overwhelming. U.S. officials already are working to disperse nearly $1.3 billion in assistance in the Syrian war zone, where ambulances are used for target practice and aid is halted by armed men at random checkpoints. The humanitarian needs are staggering. An estimated 6.8 million Syrians require assistance — a number equal to the population of Vermont, New Hampshire,
Maine and Connecticut combined. About 2 million of those have fled to neighboring countries. Another 4 to 5 million are displaced from their homes inside Syria. The U.N. says more than 100,000 people have died in the two years that opposition forces have fought to topple President Bashar Assad, who is accused of launching a chemical weapons attack last month. Aid shipments, meanwhile, are being stolen or diverted by armed groups filling the power vacuum in areas no longer controlled by the Assad regime. Border crossings are opened, then closed. In rebel-controlled regions, the conflict has been complicated by an
Climate experts stand by report STOCKHOLM (AP) — Seeking to dispel any doubts over the credibility of their work, U.N. climate experts called their latest report an unbiased and reliable assessment of global warming as they presented it Monday to officials from 110 governments for a final review. The landmark report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is expected to state with more confidence than its previous four assessments that global warming is mostly man-made. It’s also going to provide updated observations and projections of the changes happening in the climate system, from the melting of Arctic sea ice to the warming and acidification of oceans. Thomas Stocker, co-chair of the working group that wrote the report, said it has undergone multiple stages of review, with more than 50,000 comments considered by the authors. The final version is scheduled to be adopted at the end of an IPCC conference this week in Stockholm. “I know of no other document that has undergone this scrutiny,” Stocker said as the meeting opened. “It stands out as a reliable and indispensable source of knowledge about climate change.” He said millions of measurements on land, at sea, in the air and from space underpinned what he called an “unprecedented and unbiased view of the state of the climate system.” The IPCC’s work to improve the world’s
understanding of climate change won it the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 together with climate campaigner Al Gore. But a series of errors embarrassed the authors of its previous climate assessment, which was completed that same year. Among the most prominent was an incorrect statement that the glaciers in the Himalayas were melting faster than others and that they would disappear by 2035 — hundreds of years earlier than other information suggests. An independent review of the U.N. climate panel in 2010 found that overall it has done a good job but needs more openness and regular changes in leadership. It also called for stronger enforcement of its reviews of research and adoption of a conflict of interest policy. IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri told The Associated Press on Monday that he hopes the review has helped enhance the panel’s credibility. “Our processes were found to be very strong. Very good. Very effective,” he said. “But you know we have been in existence for 20-odd years and therefore it was time for us to get a second opinion on how we could improve ourselves. And I’m sure we’ve done very well in implementing the recommendations.” The report being completed in Stockholm deals with the physical science aspects of the climate system and is the first of a four-part assessment that covers several aspects of global warming.
influx of Islamic extremists who have mixed in with the U.S.-backed opposition forces trying to oust Assad. “People ask me all the time ‘Why aren’t we doing more humanitarian assistance?’” said Mark Ward, the State Department’s point man on the nearly $1.3 billion in U.S. aid flowing into the country. “I can’t really comment on the regime-controlled parts of the country — whether they are getting enough,” Ward said in a telephone interview Saturday from the region. “But in the liberated areas, it’s not a question of money. It’s a question of access. If we had access, we could find money.”

searching for a new CEO to replace Steven A. Ballmer, who announced last month that he plans to retire within the next year. The Surface Pro 2 is targeted at professionals who want the full power of a laptop in a tablet-style device. With a starting price of $899, the Pro 2 uses a full version of the upcoming Windows 8.1, meaning it can run any program written for Windows desktops and laptops. The Pro 2 promises 75 percent more battery life than the debut Pro model, which came out in February. Microsoft, which did not specify the number of hours of expected use, said the improvement comes partly from the use of Intel’s Haswell chip, which uses less energy. There’s also an optional Power Cover accessory that extends battery life even further. A cheaper model, Surface 2, offers a 25 percent improvement in battery life, which means it can get up to 10 hours of use. It also has a better screen compared with last October’s Surface RT. It uses Windows RT 8.1, meaning it can run only apps specifically designed for it. Microsoft said it now has 100,000 apps, or 10 times what was available last year. Like other RT tablets, Microsoft is including a version of its Office software for free with the Surface 2. But now, the package will have the Outlook email and calendar program, not just Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft refreshed its Surface tablet computers Monday, giving them longer battery life and better comfort on laps as the software giant continues its transformation into a devices and services company. The company said it tried to address many shortcomings of the first-generation Surface models, sales of which have been slow. Microsoft needs to boost its tablet business to make up for sales declines in traditional desktop and laptop computers. IDC is forecasting a nearly 10 percent decline in PC shipments this year. The research firm also said tablets will outsell traditional PCs in the last three months of the year. The new tablet models come with a better built-in kickstand so they can rest more firmly on users’ laps while they sit on the couch. Microsoft is also making a docking station and a wireless mouse for business customers who need the mobility of tablets but also desire the traditional ways of using computers while in the office. “We’ve definitely gotten a year smarter,” Brian Hall, general manager of sales and marketing for Surface, said in an interview. The redesigned Surface tablets come at a time of transition for Microsoft. Earlier this month, Microsoft struck a deal to acquire Nokia’s phone and services business for $7.2 billion. The company is also

ARCHBOLD, Ohio — Apple Butter Making Week is a popular fall tradition at Sauder Village. Wednesday through Saturday, there will be apple butter making, cider pressing, apple cooking demonstrations and many hands-on apple-themed activities. Produced in the fall as a way to preserve part of the apple crop, apple butter was historically a community project — bringing families and neighbors together each fall. The highlight of the week takes place in the 1910 Homestead where the delicious apple butter is made. Guests can enjoy apple schnitzing demonstrations in the homestead cellar and then watch as gallons of apple cider and bushels of the thinly sliced apples are simmered over an open fire and stirred until the mixture
reduces to form the thick, sweet spread. Samples of the homemade apple butter will be available. “Surviving the winter was really a year-round activity for our ancestors,� said Andi Erbskorn, Curator of Education. “Crops were planted, food was harvested, meat was hunted and all was preserved with an eye towards the long winter months ahead. That is what our costumed staff focuses on in the fall, especially during our Apple Butter Making Week.� Another way to preserve apples was to press them into cider. Throughout the week the historic wooden press will be put to use. There will be many other apple-related activities taking place as well. Guests can try packing apples in barrels for winter storage and watch apple cooking
demonstrations in some of the historic homes. Guests can also enjoy a variety of delicious apple treats while visiting Sauder Village. There will be apple dumplings and apple pie for guests to purchase and the Sweet Shoppe will be selling caramel apples. On Saturday, pie bakers young and old will have a chance to show off their talents in the annual Old-Fashioned Pie Baking contest. Any traditional pie recipe with an “old-fashioned� flair can be entered and the winners will receive ribbons and prizes. Historic Sauder Village is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is $15 for adults and $8 for students ages 6-16.

A-13-01: FLOODPLAIN RESTRICTIONS AND DEFINITIONS to the ZONING ORDINANCE of Steuben County, Indiana Part of the Master Plan for said County WHEREAS, Steuben County adopted a new Subdivision Control Ordinance on July 3, 2008, which became effective on August 1, 2008, amended most recently on October 9, 2012; WHEREAS, the Steuben County Zoning Ordinance was implemented to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community; WHEREAS, IC 36-7-4 and IC 1428-4 grants local governmental units the authority to develop, adopt, and enforce land-use and developmental standards within their jurisdiction. WHEREAS, some changes are necessary for the Steuben County Zoning Ordinance to be consistent with the minimum standards and language requirements and the criteria of the National Flood Insurance Program; to AMEND the Zoning Ordinance of Steuben County to read: CHAPTER 15 FLOODPLAIN RESTRICTIONS Section 15.01 Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact, Purpose, and Objectives. (a) Statutory Authorization. The Indiana Legislature has in IC 36-7-4 and IC 14-28-4 granted the power to local government units to control land use within their jurisdictions. Therefore, the County Commission of Steuben County does hereby adopt the following floodplain management regulations. (b) Findings of Fact. The flood hazard areas of Steuben County are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, flood-proofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages. (c) Statement of Purpose. It is the purpose of this Chapter to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: (1) Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities; (2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; (3) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters; (4) Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase erosion or flood damage; (5) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands; and, (6) Make federally subsidized flood insurance available for structures and their contents in Steuben County by fulfilling the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program. (d) Objectives. The objectives of this Chapter are: (1) To protect human life and health; (2) To minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; (3) To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; (4) To minimize prolonged business interruptions; (5) To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone, and sewer lines, streets, and bridges located in floodplains; (6) To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood prone areas in such a manner as to minimize flood blight areas, and; (7) To ensure that potential homebuyers are notified that property is in a flood area. Section 15.02 General Provisions. (a) Lands to Which This Chapter Applies. This Chapter shall apply to all special flood hazard areas (SFHAs) within the jurisdiction of Steuben County. (b) Basis for Establishing Regulatory Flood Data. This Chapter’s protection standard is the regulatory flood. The best available regulatory flood data is listed below. Whenever a party disagrees with the best available data, the party submitting the detailed engineering study needs to replace existing data with better data and submit it to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for review and approval. (1) The regulatory flood elevation, floodway, and fringe limits for the studied SFHAs within the jurisdiction of Steuben County shall be as delineated on the one-percent annual chance flood profiles in the Flood Insurance Study of Steuben County, Indiana and Incorporated Areas dated December 17, 2013 and the
kpcnews.com corresponding Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and dated December 17, 2013 as well as any future updates, amendments, or revisions, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with the most recent date. (2) The regulatory flood elevation, floodway, an fringe limits for each of the SFHAs within the jurisdiction of Steuben County, delineated as an “A Zone” on the Steuben County, Indiana and Incorporated Areas Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and dated December 17, 2013 as well as any future updates, amendments, or revisions, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with the most recent date shall be according to the best data available as provided by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, provided the upstream drainage area from the subject site is greater than one square mile. (3) In the absence of a published FEMA map, or absence of identification on a FEMA map, the regulatory flood elevation, floodway, and fringe limits of any watercourse in the community’s known flood prone areas shall be according to the best data available as provided by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources; provided the upstream drainage area from the subject site is greater than one square mile. (c) Establishment of Floodplain Development Permit. A Floodplain Development Permit shall be required in conformance with the provisions of this Chapter prior to the commencement of any development activities in areas of special flood hazard. (d) Compliance. No structure shall hereafter be located, extended, converted or structurally altered within the SFHA without full compliance with the terms of this Chapter and other applicable regulations. No land or stream within the SFHA shall hereafter be altered without full compliance with the terms of this Chapter and other applicable regulations. (e) Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. This Chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this Chapter and another conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail. (f) Discrepancy between Mapped Floodplain and Actual Ground Elevations. (1) In cases where there is a discrepancy between the mapped floodplain (SFHA) on the FIRM and the actual ground elevations, the elevation provided on the profiles shall govern. (2) If the elevation of the site in question is below the base flood elevation, that site shall be included in the SFHA and regulated accordingly. (3) If the elevation (natural grade) of the site in question is above the base flood elevation, that site shall be considered outside the SFHA and the floodplain regulations will not be applied. The property owner should be advised to apply for a letter of map amendment (LOMA). (g) Interpretation. In the interpretation and application of this Chapter all provisions shall be: (1) Considered as minimum requirements; (2) Liberally construed in favor of the County; and, (3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. (h) Warning and Disclaimer of Liability. The degree of flood protection required by this Chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on available information derived from engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Therefore, this Chapter does not create any liability on the part of Steuben County, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, or the State of Indiana, for any flood damage that results from reliance on this Chapter or any administrative decision made lawfully hereunder. (i) Penalties for Violation. Failure to obtain a Floodplain Development Permit in the SFHA or failure to comply with the requirements of a Floodplain Development Permit or conditions of a variance shall be deemed to be a violation of this ordinance. All violations shall be considered a common nuisance and be treated as such in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Code for Steuben County. All violations shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding $75 per day. A separate offense shall be deemed to occur for each day the violation continues to exist. The Floodplain Administrator shall inform the owner that any such violation is considered a willful act to increase flood damages and therefore may cause coverage by a Standard Flood Insurance Policy to be suspended. Nothing herein shall prevent the Steuben County from taking such other lawful action to prevent or remedy any violations. All costs connected therewith shall accrue to the person or persons responsible. (j) Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) In order for buildings to qualify for a claim payment under ICC coverage as a “repetitive loss structure”, the National Reform Act of 1994 requires that the building be covered by a contract for flood insurance and incur flood-related damages on two occasions during a 10 year period ending on the date of the event for which the second claim is made, in which the cost of repair of repairing the flood damage, on the average equaled or exceeded 25 percent of the marker value of the building at the time of each such flood event. Section 15.03 Administration. (a) Designation of Administrator. The County Commissioners of Steuben County hereby appoint the Steuben County Plan Director to administer and implement the provisions of this Chapter and is herein referred to as the Floodplain Administrator. (b) Permit Procedures. Application for a Floodplain Development Permit shall be made to the Floodplain Administrator on forms furnished by him or her prior to any development activities, and may include, but not be limited to, the following plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, earthen fill, storage of materials or equipment, drainage facilities, and the location of the foregoing. Specifically the following information is required: (1) Application stage.

Said certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a registered land surveyor or professional engineer and certified by the same. When flood proofing is utilized for a particular structure the certification shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a professional engineer or architect and certified by same. Any work undertaken prior to submission of the certification shall be at the permit holders’ risk. The Floodplain Administrator shall review the lowest floor and flood proofing elevation survey data submitted. The permit holder shall correct deficiencies detected by the review before any further work is allowed to proceed. Failure to submit the survey or failure to make required corrections shall be cause to issue a stop-work order for the project. (c) Duties and Responsibilities of the Floodplain Administrator. The Floodplain Administrator and/or designated staff is hereby authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of this Chapter. The Floodplain Administrator is further authorized to render interpretations of this Chapter, which are consistent with its spirit and purpose.

Copies of such permits are to be maintained on file with the floodplain development permit; (5) Notify adjacent communities and the State Floodplain Coordinator prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and submit copies of such notifications to FEMA; (6) Maintain for public inspection and furnish upon request local permit documents, damaged structure inventories, substantial damage determinations, regulatory flood data, SFHA maps, Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA), Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), copies of DNR permits and floodplain analysis and regulatory assessments (letters of recommendation), federal permit documents, and “as-built” elevation and flood proofing data for all buildings constructed subject to this Chapter. (7) Utilize and enforce all Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) or Physical Map Revisions (PMR) issued by FEMA for the currently effective SFHA maps of the community. (8) Assure that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that the flood-carrying capacity is not diminished; (9) Verify and record the actual elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures, in accordance with Section 15.03(b); (10) Verify and record the actual elevation to which any new or substantially improved structures have been flood proofed, in accordance with Section 15.03(b); (11) Review certified plans and specifications for compliance. (d) Stop Work Orders (1) Upon notice from the administrator, work on any building, structure or premises that is being done contrary to the provisions of this Chapter shall immediately cease. (2) Such notice shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property, or to his agent, or to the person doing the work, and shall state the conditions under which work may be resumed. (e) Revocation of Permits (1) The administrator may revoke a permit or approval, issued under the provisions of the Chapter, in cases where there has been any false statement or misrepresentation as to the material fact in the application or plans on which the permit or approval was based. (2) The administrator may revoke a permit upon determination by the administrator that the construction, erection, alteration, repair, moving, demolition, installation, or replacement of the structure for which the permit was issued is in violation of, or not in conformity with, the provisions of this Chapter. (3) Inspect sites for compliance. For all new and/or substantially improved buildings constructed in the SFHA, inspect before, during and after construction. Authorized County officials shall have the right to enter and inspect properties located in the SFHA Section 15.04 Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction. (a) General Standards. In all SFHAs and know flood prone areas the following provisions are required: (1) New construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure; (2) Manufactured homes shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement. Methods of anchoring may include, but are not limited to, use of over-the-top or frame ties to ground anchors. This standard shall be in addition to and consistent with applicable state requirements for resisting wind forces; (3) New construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage below the flood protection grade (FPG); (4) New construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; (5) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, air conditioning equipment, utility meters and other service facilities shall be located at/above the FPG or designed so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components below the
FPG. Water and sewer pipes, electrical and telephone lines, submersible pumps, and other waterproofed service facilities may be located below the FPG. (6) New and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; (7) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; (8) On-site waste disposal systems shall be located and constructed to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding; (9) Any alteration, repair, reconstruction or improvements to a structure that is in compliance with the provisions of this Chapter shall meet the requirements of “new construction” as contained in this Chapter; and, (10) Any alteration, repair, reconstruction or improvement to a structure that is not in compliance with the provisions of this Chapter, shall be undertaken only if said non-conformity is not further, extended, or replaced. (11) Whenever any portion of the SFHA is authorized for use, the volume of space which will be occupied by the authorized fill or structure below the base flood elevation (BFE) shall be compensated for and balanced by an equivalent volume of excavation taken below the BFE. The excavation volume shall be at least equal to the volume of storage lost (replacement ratio of 1 to (1) due to the fill or structure. (a) The excavation shall take place in the floodplain and in the same immediate watershed in which the authorized fill or structure is located; (b) Under certain circumstances, the excavation may be allowed to take place outside of but adjacent to the floodplain provided that the excavated volume will be below the regulatory flood elevation, will be in the same property in which the authorized fill or structure is located, will be accessible to the regulatory flood water, will not be subject to ponding when not inundated by flood water, and that it shall not be refilled; (c) The fill or structure shall not obstruct a drainage way leading to the floodplain; (d) The fill or structure shall be of a material deemed stable enough to remain firm and in place during periods of flooding and shall include provisions to protect adjacent property owners against any increased runoff or drainage resulting from its placement; and, (e) Plans depicting the areas to be excavated and filled shall be submitted prior to the actual start of construction or any site work; once site work is complete, but before the actual start of construction, the applicant shall provide to the Plan Director a certified survey of the excavation and fill sites demonstrating the fill and excavation comply with this article. (b) Specific Standards. In all SFHAs, the following provisions are required: (1) In addition to the requirements of Section 15.04(a) all structures to be located in the SFHA shall be protected from flood damage below the FPG. This building protection requirement applies to the following situations: (a) Construction or placement of any new structure having a floor area greater than 400 square feet; (b) Addition or improvement made to any existing structure: (1) where the cost of the addition or improvement equals or exceeds 50% of the value of the existing structure (excluding the value of the land). (2) with a previous addition or improvement constructed since the community’s first floodplain ordinance. (c) Reconstruction or repairs made to a damaged structure where the costs of restoring the structure to it’s before damaged condition equals or exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure (excluding the value of the land) before damage occurred; (d). Installing a travel trailer or recreational vehicle on a site for more than 180 days; (e) Installing a manufactured home on a new site or a new manufactured home on an existing site. This Chapter does not apply to returning the existing manufactured home to the same site it lawfully occupied before it was removed to avoid flood damage; and (f) Reconstruction or repairs made to a repetitive loss structure. (2) Residential Construction. New construction or substantial improvement of any residential structure (or manufactured home) shall have the lowest floor; including basement, at or above the FPG (two feet above the base flood elevation). Should solid foundation perimeter walls be used to elevate a structure, openings sufficient to facilitate the unimpeded movements of floodwaters shall be provided in accordance with the standards of Section 15.04(b)(4). (3) Non-Residential Construction. New construction or substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial, or non-residential structure (or manufactured home) shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the FPG (two feet above the base flood elevation). Or be floodproofed to or above the FPG. Should solid foundation perimeter walls be used to elevate a structure, openings sufficient to facilitates the unimpeded movements of floodwaters shall be provided in accordance with the standards of Section 15.04(b)(4). Structures located in all “A Zones” may be flood proofed in lieu of being elevated if done in accordance with the following: (a) A Registered Professional Engineer or Architect shall certify that the structure has been designed so that below the FPG, the structure and attendant utility facilities are watertight and capable of resisting the effects of the regulatory flood. The structure design shall take into account flood velocities, duration, rate of rise, hydrostatic pressures, and impacts from debris or ice. Such certification shall be provided to the official as set forth in Section 15.03(c)(10). (b) Flood proofing measures shall be operable without human intervention and without an outside source of electricity. (4) Elevated Structures. New construction or substantial improvements of elevated structures shall have the lowest floor at or above the FPG. Elevated structures with fully enclosed areas formed by foundation and other exterior walls below the flood protection grade shall be designed to preclude finished living space and designed to allow for the entry and exit of floodwaters to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls. Designs for complying with this requirement must either be certified by a professional engineer or architect or meet the follow minimum criteria: (a) provide a minimum of two open-
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2013
ings located in a minimum of two exterior walls (having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every one square foot of enclosed area). (b) the bottom of all openings shall be no more than one foot above the exterior grade or the interior grade immediately beneath each opening, whichever is higher. (c) openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves or other coverings or devices provided they permit the automatic flow of floodwaters in both directions. (d) openings are to be not less than 3 inches in any direction in the plane of the wall. This requirement applies to the hole in the wall, excluding any device that may be inserted such as typical foundation air vent device. (e) access to the enclosed area shall be the minimum necessary to allow for parking for vehicles (garage door) or limited storage of maintenance equipment used in connection with the premises (standard exterior door) or entry to the living area (stairway or elevator). (f) The interior portion of such enclosed area shall not be partitioned or finished into separate rooms. (g) The interior grade of such enclosed area shall be at an elevation at or higher than the exterior grade. (h) Where elevation requirements exceed 6 feet above the highest adjacent grade, a copy of the legally recorded deed restriction prohibiting the conversion of the area below the lowest floor to a use or dimension contrary to the structure’s originally approved design, shall be presented as a condition of issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy. (5) Structures Constructed on Fill. A residential or nonresidential structure may be constructed on a permanent land fill in accordance with the following: (a) The fill shall be placed in layers no greater than 1 foot deep before compacting to 95% of the maximum density obtainable with either Standard or Modified Proctor Test method. (b) The fill should extend at least ten feet beyond the foundation of the structure before sloping below the FPG. (c) The fill shall be protected against erosion and scour during flooding by vegetative cover, riprap, or bulkheading. If vegetative cover is used, the slopes shall be no steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. (d) The fill shall not adversely affect the flow of surface drainage from or onto neighboring properties. (e) The top of the lowest floor including basements shall be at or above the FPG. (6) Standards for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles. Manufactured homes and recreational vehicles to be installed or substantially improved on a site for more than 180 days must meet one of the following requirements: (a) The manufactured home shall be elevated on a permanent foundation such that the lowest floor shall be at or above the FPG and securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement. This requirement applies to all manufactured homes to be placed on a site; (1) outside a manufactured home park or subdivision; (2) in a new manufactured home park or subdivision; (3) in an expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision; or in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision on which a manufactured home has incurred “substantial damage” as a result of a flood. (b) The manufactured home shall be elevated so that the lowest floor of the manufactured home chassis is supported by reinforced piers or other foundation elevations that are no less than 36 inches in height above grade and be securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement. This requirement applies to all manufactured homes to be placed on a site in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision that has not been substantially damaged by a flood. (c) Manufactured homes with fully enclosed areas formed by foundation and other exterior walls below the flood protection grade shall be designed to preclude finished living space and designed to allow for the entry and exit f floodwaters to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls as required for elevated structures in Section 15.04(b)(4) (d) Flexible skirting and rigid skirting not attached to the frame or foundation of a manufactured home are not required to have openings. (e) Recreational vehicles placed on a site shall either: (1) be on site for less than 180 days; and; (2) be fully licensed and ready for highway use (defined as being on its wheels or jacking system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and security devices, and has no permanently attached additions); or (3) meet the requirements for “manufactured homes” as stated earlier in this section. (c) Standards for Subdivision Proposals. (1) All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; (2) All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage; (3) All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood hazards; and (4) Base flood elevation data shall be provided for subdivision proposals and other proposed development (including manufactured home parks and subdivisions), which is greater than the lesser of fifty lots or five acres. (d) Critical Facility. Construction of new critical facilities shall be, to the extent possible, located outside the limits of the SFHA. Construction of new critical facilities shall be permissible within the SFHA if no feasible alternative site is available. Critical facilities constructed within the SFHA shall have the lowest floor elevated to or above the FPG at the site. Flood proofing and sealing measures must be taken to ensure that toxic substances will not be displaced by or released into floodwaters. Access routes elevated to or above the FPG shall be provided to all critical facilities to the extent possible. (e) Standards for Identified Floodways. Located within SFHAs, established in Section 15.02(b), are areas designated as floodways. The floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters, which carry debris, potential projectiles, and has erosion potential. (1) If the site is in an identified
floodway, the Floodplain Administrator shall require the applicant to forward the application, along with all pertinent plans and specifications, to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and apply for a permit for construction in a floodway. Under the provisions of IC 14-28-1 a permit for construction in a floodway from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is required prior to the issuance of a local building permit for any excavation, deposit, construction or obstruction activity located in the floodway. This includes land preparation activities such as filling, grading, clearing and paving undertaken before the actual start of construction of the structure. However, it does exclude non-substantial additions/ improvements to existing (lawful) residences in a non-boundary river floodway. (IC 14-28-1-26 allows construction of non-substantial additions/ improvements to residences in a non-boundary river floodway without obtaining a permit for construction in a floodway from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.) If fill is needed to elevate an addition above the existing grade, prior approval (construction in a floodway permit) for the fill is required from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.) (2) No action shall be taken by the Floodplain Administrator until a permit (when applicable) has been issued by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources granting approval for construction in a floodway. Once a permit for construction in a floodway has been issued by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Plan Director may issue the local Floodplain Development Permit, provided the provisions contained in Section 15.04 have been met. The Floodplain Development Permit cannot be less restrictive than the permit for construction in a floodway issued by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. However, more restrictive local regulations (if any) shall take precedence. (3) No development shall be allowed which acting alone or in combination with existing or future development, will increase the regulatory flood more than 0.14 of one foot; and (4) For all projects involving channel modifications or fill (including levees) Steuben County shall submit the data and request that the Federal Emergency Management Agency revise the regulatory flood data. (f) Standards for Identified Fringe. If the site is located in an identified fringe, then the Floodplain Administrator may issue the local Floodplain Development Permit provided the provisions contained in Section 15.04 of this Chapter have been met. The key provision is that the top of the lowest floor of any new or substantially improved structure shall be at or above the FPG. (g) Standards for SFHAs Without Established Base Flood Elevation and/or Floodways/Fringes. (1) Drainage area upstream of the site is greater than one square mile: (a) If the site is in an identified floodplain where the limits of the floodway and fringe have not yet been determined, and the drainage area upstream of the site is greater than one square mile, the Floodplain Administrator shall require the applicant to forward the application, along with all pertinent plans and specifications, to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for review and comment. (b) No action shall be taken by the Floodplain Administrator until either a permit for construction in a floodway or a floodplain analysis/regulatory assessment citing the one-percent annual chance flood elevation and the recommended Flood Protection Grade has been received from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. (c) Once the Floodplain Administrator has received the proper permit for construction in a floodway or floodplain analysis/regulatory assessment approving the proposed development, a Floodplain Development Permit may be issued provided the conditions of the Floodplain Development Permit are not less restrictive than the conditions received from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the provisions contained in Section 15.04 of this Chapter have been met. (2) Drainage area upstream of the site is less than one square mile: If the site is in an identified floodplain where the limits of the floodway and fringe have not yet been determined and the drainage area upstream of the site is less than one square mile, the Floodplain Administrator shall require the applicant to provide an engineering analysis showing the limits of the floodplain and one-percent annual chance flood elevation for the site. Upon receipt, the Floodplain Adminitrator may issue the local Floodplain Development Permit, provided the provisions contained in Section 15.04 of this Chapter have been met. (3) The total cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not increase the regulatory flood more than 0.14 of one foot and will not increase flood damages or potential flood damages. (h) Standards for Flood Areas. All development in known flood prone areas not identified on FEMA maps, or where no FEMA published map is available, shall meet applicable standards as required per Section 15.04 Section 15.05 Variance Procedures. (a) Designation of Variance and Appeals Board. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from requirements of this Chapter. (b) Duties of Variance and Appeals Board. The Board shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged an error in any requirement, decision, or determination is made by the Floodplain Administrator in the enforcement or administration of this Chapter. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Board may appeal that decision to the Steuben County Circuit/Superior Court, as provided in State Statute. (c) Variance Procedures. In passing upon such applications, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, all standards specified in other sections of this Chapter, and; (1) The danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; (2) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; (3) The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; (4) The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; (5) The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; (6) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipat-

Continued from A6 ed development; (7) The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area; (8) The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; (9) The expected height, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment of transport of the floodwaters at the site; and, (10) The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges. (d) Conditions for Variances. (1) Variances shall only be issued when there is: (a) A showing of good and sufficient cause; (b) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship; and, (c) A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing laws or ordinances. (2) No variance for a residential use within a floodway subject to Section 15.04(e) or (g)(1) may be granted. (3) Any variance granted in a floodway subject to Section 15.04(e) or (g) (1) will require a permit from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. (4) Variances to the Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction of Section 15.04(b) may be granted only when a new structure is to be located on a lot of one half acre or less in size, contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the flood protection grade.

Portions of the SFHA in which the principal source of flooding is runoff from rainfall, snowmelt, or a combination of both. In A zones, floodwaters may move slowly or rapidly, but waves are usually not a significant threat to buildings. These areas are labeled as Zone A, Zone AE, Zones A1-A30, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zone AR and Zone A99 on a FIRM or FHBM. The definitions are presented below: 1. Zone A: Areas subject to inundation by the one-percent annual chance flood event. Because detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed, no base flood elevation or depths are shown. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. 2. Zone AE and A1-A30: Areas subject to inundation by the one-percent annual chance flood event determined by detailed methods. Base flood elevations are shown within these zones. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. (Zone AE is on new and revised maps in place of Zones A1-A30.) 3. Zone AO: Areas subject to inundation by one-percent annual chance shallow flooding (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain) where average depths are between one and three feet. Average flood depths derived from detailed hydraulic analyses are shown within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. 4. Zone AH: Areas subject to inundation by one-percent annual chance shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are 1-3 feet. Average flood depths derived from detailed hydraulic analyses are shown within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. 5. Zone AR: Areas that result from the decertification of a previously accredited flood protection system that is determined to be in the process of being restored to provide base flood protection. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. 6. Zone A99: Areas subject to inundation by the one-percent annual chance flood event, but which will ultimately be protected upon completion of an under-construction Federal flood protection system. These are areas of special flood hazard where enough progress has been made on the construction of a protection system, such as dikes, dams, and levees, to consider it complete for insurance rating purposes. Zone A99 may only be used when the flood protection system has reached specified statutory progress toward completion. No base flood elevations or depths are shown. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply. ZONE B C AND X. Areas identified in the community as areas of moderate or minimal hazard from the principal source of flood in the area. However, buildings in these zones could be flooded by severe, concentrated rainfall coupled with inadequate local drainage systems. Flood insurance is available in participating communities but is not required by regulation in these zones. (Zone X is used on new and revised maps in place of Zones B and C.) FLOOR AREA OF A BUILDING.

Skills gap needs solutions BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com
GARRETT — The largest and fastest-growing segment of Indiana’s skills gap comes from middle-skill jobs, those that require at least a high school diploma but less than a four-year college degree, said a report released Monday by the Indiana Skills2Compete Coalition. The findings were offered at a news conference by coalition co-chairs Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, and Jessica Fraser from the Indiana Institute of Working Families at Group Dekko’s Garrett plant, one of several northeast Indiana manufacturers with firsthand knowledge of the skills gap. The report concludes the skills gap is an adult problem that will require adult solutions. Fraser noted Indiana’s
unemployment rate is stuck above 8 percent and more than 44 percent of Hoosier between the ages of 18 and 65 have no post-secondary education at all, meaning that more than 1.8 million Hoosier adults currently lack the skills attainment to be competitive in the workforce. Middle-skill jobs account for more than 550,000 job openings in Indiana — half of all openings through 2020. That number has increased by almost 63,000 jobs over the number of mid-skill jobs projected from 2006-2016, according to the report. While 54 percent of all jobs in Indiana are classified as middleskill, only 47 percent of the state’s workers have the skills and credentials for the job. Although Indiana policymakers have emphasized
the skills gap in recent workforce development and education efforts, the report shows the skills gap won’t be filled without adult solutions. The coalition selected four policy priorities for 2014 that focus on middle-skill attainment for Indiana’s adult workers: • Increasing access to financial aid for part-time students, many of whom are currently working and are faced with the need to upgrade skills or want the opportunity to advance in their chosen fields. • Continue differentiation of services for students in adult basic education, certain basic skills training, development education, and language acquisition that could be better pursued through adult basic education and community-based agencies. • Maximize on-the-job
training opportunities already available through federal funds by minimizing policy barriers that prevent more employers from using the program. The programs are designed to help reduce employers’ upfront hiring and training costs associated with the new staff and enable new hires to earn while they learn. • Promote statewide establishment of Prior Learning Assessments for adults with significant work experience, awarding academic credit for meritorious portfolios, accepting transfer academic-credit awarded through rigorous review by other institutions, and encouraging viable candidates to undertake the assessment process. The coalition’s full policy platform can be found at incap.org/InSkillspolicy.html.

Friday, LaGrange County Superior Court Judge George Brown issued a warrant for Gose on charges of criminal confinement,
a Class C Felony, and two Class D felony offenses, domestic battery and strangulation. He also was wanted for parole violation. Gose is suspected of abducting Jennifer Lee Bitzel, of Peru and formerly of Rome City, late Wednesday night. Rome City Police found her safe in Rome City early Friday morning, police said. She had bruising to her head, face and throat, police added. Police previously said the incident began Wednesday at a residence in the 3000 block of LaGrange C.R. 600E, where Bitzel was battered severely. She then was removed forcefully from the residence by a man who allegedly made death threats to Bitzel before forcing her into a silver, 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix.

BATTLE: Kenyan officials claim to be in control FROM PAGE A1
Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter. Kenya’s Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone “very, very well” and that Kenyan officials were “very certain” that few if any hostages were left in the building. But with the mall cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions.

Somalia’s al-Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said the hostage-takers were well-armed and ready to take on the Kenyan forces. An al-Shabab spokesman, Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, said in an audio file posted on a militant website that the attackers had been ordered to “take punitive action against the hostages” if force was used to try to rescue them. The attackers have lots of ammunition, the militant group said in a Twitter feed, adding that Kenya’s government would be responsible for any loss of hostages’ lives.

U.S., Iran closer to key talks NEW YORK (AP) — The Obama administration edged close to direct, high-level talks with Iran’s new government on Monday, with Secretary of State John Kerry slated to meet his Iranian counterpart this week and the White House weighing the risks and rewards of an encounter between President Barack Obama and Iran’s president, Hasan Rouhani. An Obama-Rouhani exchange on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly would mark the first meeting at that high level for the two nations in more than 30 years. Such talks could signal a turning point in U.S.-Iranian relations — but also could be seen as a premature endorsement for a new Iranian government that has yet to answer key questions about the future of its disputed nuclear program. Obama advisers said no meeting was scheduled. But they added that the U.S. planned to take advantage of diplomatic opportunities while in New York and indicated they were not leaving a possible encounter between Obama and Rouhani to chance. “I don’t think that anything would happen by happenstance on a relationship and an issue that is this important,” Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, told reporters traveling with the president to New York. The election of Rouhani, a moderate cleric, has led to hopes of possible progress on Iran’s nuclear impasse with the U.S. Particularly intriguing to American officials are Rouhani’s assertions that his government has “complete authority” in nuclear negotiations.

Knights shine on Senior Night BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcnews.net
KENDALLVILLE — East Noble set the tone early in Monday’s Northeast Hoosier Conference boys soccer match up with Columbia City. The Knights struck three times with goals in the opening 10 minutes on the way to a dominating 10-1 victory over the Eagles on Senior Night. “We came prepared, had the mentality to win,” said East Noble senior Oscar Pita. “The three goals put us in the mood and took a little of the pressure off.” Pita put the Knights on the scoreboard on an assist from Matt Patton, with Zan Foltyniak then connecting at the nine-minute mark. A minute later Kyle Bloom connected for a 3-0 East Noble lead. “It was good for the seniors to get a start like that,” said East Noble coach Rob Berkley. “We gained confidence, knew we’d be able to continue to carry it through the game.” Pita struck again when the Columbia City keeper came out of the net, with the Knights finding Pita open on the opposite side of the net. Evan Strack soon made it
5-0 with a shot in front of the net. The Eagles scored their lone goal just before the half, sending the Knights into the break with a 5-1 margin. Senior Kaleb Williams, who spent the first half in goal, joined in the scoring to open the second half, connecting twice to put the Knights up 7-1. Before game’s end, the squad also got scores from Mason Diffendorfer, Jesse Maley and Sergio Castro. “We have a group of guys, a blue collar group, that’s always working hard,” Pita said. Seniors on the East Noble squad are Pita, Williams, Strack, Bloom, Patton, Foltyniak, Maley, Aaron Berkey, Kam Wible, Victor Gonzalez and Andy Kretler. “I’ve been here for four years, this is my first group from beginning to end,” Berkley said. “They mean a lot to me.” The Knights beat Wawasee 2-0 on Saturday. “That was one of our better wins,” Berkley explained. “Wawasee has been playing very JAMES FISHER well.

Colts are clicking Colts’ philosophy works perfectly at San Francisco
I challenged them in game two to step up and get some points, they responded and pulled it out,” DeKalb coach Andrea Spiess said. “When this team makes that choice, they’re really mentally tough, and that’s something we talk about, playing as a team, being mentally tough behind the line and staying aggressive.”
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chuck Pagano spent months trying to convince others that his old-school football philosophy would still work. Those who didn’t believe it then sure do now. Thanks to a powerful ground game, a productive passing game and a persistent defense, the short-handed Colts surprised everyone by easily overpowering defending NFC champion San Francisco — on the 49ers’ home turf. “It builds confidence throughout the locker room, throughout the organization and obviously on both sides of the ball and special teams,” Pagano said. “Like you said, they (the players) have bought in from Day 1, but it just lends credence to what you’re doing philosophically. When you lay out a blueprint, it doesn’t matter what venue, if we’re home or away, it shows that if you stick to the process, it comes to fruition and you go win a game like we just won, you can build on that.” Inside the Colts’ locker room, few doubted that the transformation from finesse, pass-first team to a physically-imposing balanced offense would work.

DeKalb spikers sweep Blazers BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
WATERLOO — There comes a point when you put fatigue aside and decide it’s time to win the game. After winning the first game 25-14 over Eastside Monday, the DeKalb Barons were faced with that scenario in game two, when the Blazers took a 23-21 lead.
The Barons came out of a timeout, quickly gained two kills, and a Maddy Fifer ace closed out the 25-23 rally and win. In the third game, DeKalb (11-4) maintained a steady, if not comfortable margin throughout, pulling away for a 25-16 win. “We looked tired, just coming off a tournament this weekend, but they rallied back, and when
Baron girls dominant in NHC soccer win BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com
WATERLOO — DeKalb’s girls soccer team gradually took control of its Northeast Corner Conference match with Norwell as the first half went on Monday evening and went on to a 5-0 victory. “We started slow. We were a little sluggish,” Barons coach Sam Weicht said. “But we were passing the ball and that helped get us going. “John (Proegler, Knights coach) did a good job with her girls and had them ready,” Weicht added. “That number 1 (midfielder Kaycee Strunk) is faster than all get out. We’d push a through ball and she would take it from us.” The aggressiveness of Norwell sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Siela twice kept DeKalb (9-2, 5-1 NHC) from striking early in the first 13 minutes by intercepting crossing passes in front of the
Knights’ goal and not giving up rebounds. The play was largely in the Knights’ defensive half of the field and the Barons broke through with two goals 1 minute, 17 seconds apart late in the first half. Junior Taya Poynter scored off a long lead pass from senior Katie Hamlin with 4:33 left before halftime. Poynter’s shot slowly rolled past the goal line. Not long after, Baron senior Alyssa Clark headed home Marisa Robinett’s corner kick to put her team up 2-0. Senior Kacey Wells got ahead of the Knights’ defense and blasted a shot high and to the right of Siela 14:20 into the second half to make it 3-0. Sophomore Andrea Oster scored on an assist from senior Madison VanWye with 19:06 left. The Hamlin-to-Poynter connection worked again with just under eight minutes left as Poynter scored her
second goal of the match. “We moved Katie from center midfield and she has been solid in how she passes that ball,” Weicht said. “She’s a hard worker. Colleges will want to get that girl.” DeKalb outshot Norwell 28-1. The Barons had three corner kicks while the Knights did not have any. “Our defense had a good night,” Weicht said. “They’ve kept us in games all year long.” Norwell’s Siela made 12 saves in goal. Allie Gaff started in goal for the Barons and did not have to make a save. DeKalb’s only losses have been to state-ranked teams: Homestead, who was ranked 13th in Class 2A last week, and Canterbury, who was ranked sixth in 1A last week. The Barons defeated perennial area power Carroll earlier this season for the first time in 11 years.

Reds close in on wild card, beat Mets 3-2 in 10th CINCINNATI (AP) — Shin-Soo Choo drove in the winning run with a single off the wall in the 10th inning, and the Cincinnati Reds closed in on a wild-card berth by beating the New York Mets 3-2 on Monday night. Second-place Cincinnati can clinch a playoff spot with one more win or a loss by Washington, which played at first-place St. Louis on Monday night. Manager Dusty Baker said there would be no celebration of a wild-card clinching, not with a second straight NL Central title still in play. David Aardsma pitched out of a bases-loaded threat in the ninth, retiring Todd Frazier on a flyout. Greg Burke (0-3) gave up a one-out single by Devin Mesoraco in the 10th, and Derrick Robinson singled him to third.

COLTS: Indy tops 100 yards rushing for third time FROM PAGE B1
Andrew Luck and the rest of Indy’s contingent from Stanford saw the same formula turn a stumbling college program into a national contender. The defensive players who had been part of Pagano’s system in Baltimore, such as Cory Redding, or similar defenses around the league already knew it was a proven commodity. But fans were understandably nervous. After watching Peyton Manning & Co. make high-scoring shootouts and mind-numbing stats the norm, then seeing Luck do essentially the same thing in last year’s pass-happy offense, many wondered whether the Colts were doing the right thing by relying on a more balanced attack. A dismal Week 2 loss to Miami brought out critics from all corners. They’ve all vanished after seeing the kind of stat sheet that would make any coach happy. —Indy never trailed in producing its most lopsided
road win since Oct. 25, 2009. —The Colts rushed for 179 yards and topped the 100-yard mark for the third straight week, the first time that’s happened in Indy since September 1989. —Newly acquired Trent Richardson scored a touchdown on his first carry with the Colts, while Luck and starting running back Ahmad Bradshaw each scored on TD runs, too. —The defense limited San Francisco to 254 yards, 91 on its only scoring drive and 67 on its final series, and forced two turnovers. —Indy still has not lost back-to-back games since Pagano took over as coach last season, improving to 6-0 after losses. —And they did all that without six starters. Pagano couldn’t have drawn it up any better. “It was as complete a game as I think we’ve played since we’ve been here,” he said. “Every game is going to be different, so

sometimes, you’re going to throw more than you run. But any time you can win the time of possession battle like that, and you win the turnover battle, win the third-down battle …” Usually, you win. The only question left is whether the Colts (2-1) can continue winning this way. On Sunday, they shuffled the lineup after losing their best blocking tight end, Dwayne Allen, left guard Donald Thomas and starting center Samson Satele to injuries. So Pagano moved right guard Mike McGlynn to center, started rookie Hugh Thornton at left guard and Jeff Linkenbach at right guard, and used Joe Reitz and tight end Dominique Jones as extra blockers in heavy run formations. It worked. Bradshaw had his best game since joining the Colts, running 19 times for 95 yards and Richardson gave the Colts a strong two-man wrecking crew on inside runs.

DeKalb led 9-5 in game three, but Eastside (5-12) hung around, pulling to within 14-13 on an Erin Strock tip. Hannah Lewis had a kill, and a Lexi Hooks ace boosted the Baron lead to 16-13. After an exchange of sideouts, Lewis had a kill and ace, and Hooks added a back row kill to extend the lead to five. Hunter Daub contributed an ace into the far corner, and Hayley Martin’s kill spun off the net and bounced just inside the sideline for match point. Lewis and Martin finished with 13 kills each to lead the Barons, and Shade Herbolsheimer added seven. Herbolsheimer and Skylar Ostrowski had two blocks each. Grace Hooks served three aces, and Daub and Lexi Hooks had two each. Daub had 28 assists for DeKalb. “We’ve really put a focus on our defense, being scrappy and making sure the ball doesn’t touch our side,” Spiess said. “Defense creates offense, and we have a strong offensive attack when we can swing.” Strock finished with 10 kills to lead Eastside. Maddy Minehart had five blocks, and Kylee Yoder added four. Yoder had 17 assists for the Blazers. DeKalb won the reserve match 25-10, 25-16. Both teams are in conference matches tonight. Eastside travels to Lakeland in a Northeast Corner Conference match. DeKalb hosts Homestead in a Northeast Hoosier Conference match.

Novak Djokovic of Serbia celebrates a point during the 2013 Davis Cup. Djokovic is No. 1 in the ATP rankings for the 100th week and is the ninth player to reach the milestone.
Djokovic reaches 100th week at No. 1 in rankings LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic is No. 1 in the ATP rankings for the 100th week. The 26-year-old Serb is the ninth player to reach the milestone, joining Andre Agassi (101 weeks), Rafael Nadal (102), Bjorn Borg (109), John McEnroe (170), Jimmy Connors (268), Ivan Lendl (270), Pete Sampras (286) and Roger Federer (302). Djokovic reached No. 1 in July 2011. He lost the top spot to Federer for three months in 2012 but regained it in November of that year. Djokovic’s bid to finish the year at No. 1 for a third straight time is under serious threat from Nadal. Djokovic has 11,120 points, while Nadal has 10,860. Both are entered in next week’s China Open, where Djokovic will be defending his title and Nadal has no points to defend. Nadal can get to No. 1 for the first time since July 3, 2011, by reaching the final.
Pacers hope to sign George contract before season INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George has no intention of leaving the Pacers. Larry Bird is spending most of his time these days trying to sure Indiana’s budding star sticks around for the next few years. The team president left Monday’s annual Pacers Foundation golf outing before the others teed off so he could continue negotiating a long-term deal to keep George in town. “We’re talking, but we’ve got a ways to go. That’s where I’m going now, back to work,” Bird said. George, Bird’s first-round pick in 2010, has made significant strides each of the past two seasons. He went from bench contributor as a rookie to full-time starter in 2011-12 to his first All-Star game appearance last season, when the Pacers fell one win short of reaching the NBA Finals. Last season, George averaged 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists during the regular season, and was even better in the playoffs while also emerging as one of the league’s top defenders. His reward was being named the most improved player in the league last season. A year ago, Indiana locked up All-Star center Roy Hibbert and point guard George Hill with long-term deals. This summer, they re-signed power forward David West, traded for Luis Scola and revamped the bench with the signing of free agents Chris Copeland, Donald Sloan and C.J. Watson. The next two priorities are re-signing George and guard Lance Stephenson, who thrived in a starting role last season. Stephenson also could become a restricted free agent after the season.
Grizzlies announce hirings of three assistants MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies have hired Elston Turner, Duane Ticknor and Shawn Respert to join the returning Bob Thornton as assistants on new head coach Dave Joerger’s staff. Turner previously worked as an assistant for Portland (1996-2000), Sacramento (2000-06), Houston (2007-11) and Phoenix (2011-13). Ticknor spent last season as head coach of the NBA Development League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Joerger worked as an assistant for Ticknor in 1999-2000 with the International Basketball Association’s Dakota Wizards. Respert was director of player development for Houston from 2008-11 and spent the last two years as an assistant with Minnesota. The Grizzlies also have hired Chattin Hill as athletic performance coach and Mark Sanford as assistant video coordinator/player development.

New texting service helps students achieve college degree The latest technology teens are carrying in their pockets can help them earn a college degree. A new cyber service, Trip To College Alerts by the Indiana Youth Institute, sends three to four monthly text messages to students 13 and older to prepare them for education after high school. The messages are grade specific and provide information on ACT and SAT test dates, career assessments, scholarship information, financial aid deadlines and other tips on the essential steps to earning a postsecondary education. The texts often direct students to links where they can get more information. “Many students told me they absolutely wanted to pursue some education after high school, but they were worried they would miss important steps in the process” said Kate Coffman, director of the IYI’s Career and College Counseling (C3) initiate “Students need to take BILL several actions over the course STANCZYKIEWICZ of a few years to prepare for post-secondary education. One student said texting was the easiest way to get them the information they need.” Trip To College Alerts communicates with students in the medium they use most. The texts provide information specifically targeted for each student’s grade level over the course of the middle and high school years. According to Pew Research, 83 percent of teens own a cell phone with 54 percent text daily. Yet finding information on a website can be difficult, even for this tech savvy generation. Trip To College Alerts is reaching students by putting the information directly into the mobile phones and tablets they use daily. Almost 90 percent of students who tested Trip To College Alerts said the information received through the texts was helpful. Students found the alerts made it easy to get a clear idea of what they needed to do to realize their college dreams. All those involved in the test recommended that other students sign up for the service. The service is another way to “reach middle and high school students where they live,” to provide information about the growing importance of achieving some form of education or training after high school as a way to broaden students’ career options, said IYI President and CEO, Bill Stanczykiewicz. “The alerts also provide information about certificate programs, military training, apprenticeships and associate degrees, in addition to the traditional college route, which all open paths to jobs,” Stanczykiewicz said. “This is a critical time in Indiana, where the need for a better educated workforce is evident in the tens of thousands of jobs currently available for workers with the right type of education. We hope Trip To College Alerts helps families gain the knowledge they need to explore all the educational options available for their children, resulting in graduates prepared to meet the demands of the 21st century economy.” To join Trip To College Alerts, students should text the word “grad” and their graduation year to 69979. For example, a senior would text “grad2014” as one word, while a freshman would text “grad2017.” Students must be 13 or older to join. Standard texting rates apply and students should have the permission of a parent or guardian to sign up. Parents and mentors can also join Trip To College Alerts to discuss the messages with their children. All the parents who tested the text alerts found the information helpful and would recommend it to other parents. One parent said it was a better way to get information so she could better support her child’s college dreams. Parents can join multiple campaigns if they have more than one child. They just need to text “grad” and the graduation year of each child separately to 69979. So if parents have an eighth grader and a junior, they would text “grad2018” and then separately text “grad2015.” The parents would then receive texts that apply to each child. In addition to Trip To College Alerts, students are encouraged to visit DriveOfYourLife.org, which has grade-specific information about careers and what education is needed for students to obtain their dream job. Parents and students also can visit the college planning website TripToCollege.org to find out more about financial aid, steps to college and other tips to make sure their children stay on track for education after high school.

Letters to The Editor • Branches of U.S. government are the most socialist ever To the editor: After decades of paying taxes, I can honestly say I’ve never been forced to make such a bad investment. Until Obamacare. In a short period of time I will be blessed with compound bad investments. No only will I be much poorer, so will other citizens not yet poor enough. Even Robin Hood didn’t rob the middle class. A mandatory premium for health care
that is a “tax.” Justice John Roberts was on the same socialistic medication as the other socialist justices that supported this hallucinatory atrocity. It would do no good to relieve those socialist justices of their positions, as Obama would replace them with even more devoted socialist judges. With elected and appointed authorities instituting and protecting socialistic agendas, the Constitution has taken a back seat to the guiding principles of a once-great nation. There are now no
guiding principles! Arbitrary regulation. Feelgood legislation (when it happens at all). Political correctness to the point of self-flagellation. Group laws instead of individual rights. This administration. This Congress. This Supreme Court. Three of the most ever progressive (socialist) branches of government that happens to be the only government between a people of liberty and socialism/communism. Monty Strawser LaGrange
A system of exquisite balance has been disrupted WASHINGTON — So much about Washington seems unchanging from decade to decade, from generation to generation: The Capitol dome, shimmering in the blue-black sky of evening. The monuments, bleached white and inspiring reflection (Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson) and remembrance (World War II, Korea, Vietnam). The White House, majestic in its simple elegance. The tourists, clutching cameras and high hopes for the American experiment, even with more than a dozen dead of gun wounds a few blocks away. And yet in a political system designed to be forever new — the regular rotation of House members in biennial elections, the immutable four-year rhythms of a presidential term — there is something new but deeply unsettling about the capital as summer melts into autumn. It is as if a system of exquisite balance has been disrupted. It isn’t any one thing but an accumulation of factors that have contributed to the word that dare not speak its name — the word (malaise) that Jimmy Carter never actually uttered in a 1979 speech remembered in presidential infamy. Here are some of the symptoms: The president has lost his gyroscope. Even in the most discouraging moments of his first term, President Obama knew where he was going and had a sure notion of how to get there. No more, and the Syria episode, now being celebrated by some as an example of the president’s shrewdness (the end of Syrian chemical weapons without the start of American bombing!), is the principal example. The president’s moral outrage was appropriate after last month’s gas attacks, and the nation shared his sense of shock even as Americans were not in awe of his response, which was changeable if not inscrutable. Still unanswered: the real timetable for the elimination of Syria’s chemical weapons, the real motive of Vladimir Putin and the resolution of Obama’s vow that Bashar Assad should pay a price for his actions. The country has lost, at least in the short term, its pre-eminence in world diplomacy. For two generations, the American
narrative — this was decidedly not the Soviet narrative, nor, after 1989, the Russian narrative — was that the United States continually had to respond to Moscow’s nefarious gambits: 1956 in Hungary, 1968 in Czechoslovakia, 1980 in Afghanistan, along with shady episodes of agitation in Nicaragua and Africa and support for rebellions in Korea and Vietnam. DAVID M. In all those situations, at least in their renderings SHRIBMAN in the West, Moscow wore the black hat or hid one in the top drawer or back closet. Now, Putin, no exemplar of democratic values, has upended the narrative. He’s taken the initiative in Syria, and in the United Nations, too, and he’s the one wearing the white hat. “The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker,” the president whose style most resembles Putin’s, Richard M. Nixon, said in his 1969 inaugural address. Putin is luxuriating in that title. The president has lost his influence on Capitol Hill. Obama plainly could not carry his own party on Syria, which is one reason reasonable people might wonder why he decided in the first place — no, it was actually the second place — to kick the Syria can up to Capitol Hill. In doing so he only increased the specific gravity of an extremely unlikely coalition of liberals and libertarian conservatives that was drawn together by concerns over the growth of government surveillance and now comprises an unwieldy peacenik-isolationist caucus that could be dangerous to Obama in the coming years. Not that the president has the customary prerogatives granted to chief executives, such as the benefit of the doubt among members of his own party on important appointments. Only a day before Lawrence H. Summers withdrew from consideration as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, three members of the Senate Banking Committee, including a reliable ally,
•
Sherrod Brown of Ohio, indicated they would not back the president’s choice. The president has little reason for hope for the way forward. New tax, spending and debt-ceiling confrontations are just around a dangerous corner. The president has to be admired for his patience, commitment and resilience as he bounces from one economic crisis to another, but there is little hope he will get his way, or even get a reprieve from House Republicans, who are not inclined or motivated to compromise with him. Instead, these House Republicans took heart from the recent Wall Street Journal/ NBC News poll underlining the deep skepticism Americans still feel about the health care law that has become known as Obamacare. (Ronald Reagan once marveled that the opponents who described his economic policies as Reaganomics abandoned the name once it seemed his policies were working. Obama no doubt harbors the same hope.) That opinion poll showed that less than a third of Americans thought the measure was a good idea, as opposed to 44 percent who condemned it. This was accompanied by poll findings showing that two-thirds of those polled acknowledged they didn’t understand the law very well or only partially — not a good sign for the president nor testimony to his marketing acumen. The House Republicans no doubt will vote to repeal Obamacare a few dozen more times, a meaningless gesture except that it reinforces their determination to frustrate the president. Until the Summers withdrawal, the president was pinning his hopes on gaining GOP support for his Fed choice in the Senate (which, unlike the House, has confirmation powers). The president cannot count on Republican support for anything in the House. The result is a season of frustration for Obama and few prospects for improvements in the political atmosphere for the remainder of the year. Then comes winter. All signs point to a cold one.

What Others Say • Rodman builds team spirit in North Korea On Monday, just back from his second visit to North Korea, basketball star Dennis Rodman held a New York news conference at which he announced plans to put together a team of former NBA all-stars to play in a pair of exhibition games in North Korea in January. He also said North Korean leader
Kim Jong Un had asked him to coach North Korea’s 2016 Olympic basketball team. Rodman told American sports writers, “I’ll tell you guys one thing: Take me seriously.” The flamboyant athlete has spent a lifetime making sure that they didn’t. Rodman is exuberant, candid to a fault, covered with tattoos and body piercings; he has been known to appear in a
wedding dress. North Korean athletes keep straight faces on pain of being imprisoned. In assembling his team, Rodman certainly will want to consider North Korea’s ruler. If he’s half the athlete his father was, Rodman will certainly want him. The first time the elder Kim played golf, he made 11 holes in one, or so the story goes. Rodman, who calls Kim
“the marshal” and claims him as a good friend, has refused to intervene on behalf of an ailing, imprisoned U.S. missionary. Still, Rodman is one of the few foreigners outside of gunshot range who has found anything good to say about Kim: “If he wanted to bomb anybody in the world, he would have done it.” Evansville Courier & Press

Overprotective parents driving daughter out door DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old woman who still lives at home. I have been working for the last five years and have saved enough to live comfortably on my own. Unfortunately, my parents have forbidden me to do it because they think I’m being manipulated into it by my boyfriend, that I just want to “do whatever I want” and be out until late (although I’m rarely up past 9 p.m. and they know it), and because I “can’t stand them” anymore. I have no privacy! My mail is opened “mistakenly” and my calls are listened in on even when I politely — and sometimes angrily — ask them not to. They have even imposed a rule that I must show them my bank balance weekly. They have told me I will not leave the house without being married first. I would like to live on my own before I actually marry so I can experience what it’s like. This

is something I have always wanted to do. If I do move out, they say I’ll “bring shame and embarrassment” to the family. There seems to be a double standard going on here because my older brother has his girlfriend DEAR sleep over. ABBY How can I accommodate my Jeanne Phillips parents without being disowned? — FEELING HELPLESS DEAR FEELING HELPLESS: Your parents have chosen to ignore that you are an adult, self-supporting and entitled to make your own choices. They appear to be extremely heavy-handed. Their hyper-vigilance —
•
opening your mail, eavesdropping on your phone calls and insisting on checking your bank balance weekly — is over the top. They would like you to be “safely” married before you leave their protection. Is their problem that they disapprove of your boyfriend? If you get a place of your own, do you plan on moving him in? If that’s not the case, there is no reason why your living independently might shame or embarrass them. Not knowing your parents, I can’t judge whether their threat to disown you is serious or not. However, if it is, realize it’s a form of blackmail, and you will have to decide which is more important — your freedom or their support. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

DEAR DOCTOR K: You’ve mentioned biofeedback as a treatment option for several conditions, but I still don’t understand what it is. Could you explain? DEAR READER: Biofeedback is a technique that helps you monitor and control your body’s responses. By learning to control certain functions, you can improve your medical condition, relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, or improve your physical or mental performance. During biofeedback training, a therapist attaches sensors to your body. The type and placement of sensors varies according to what is being measured. Sensors can detect changes in everything from your heart rate, skin temperature or muscle tension to your brain-wave patterns. The machine then translates its measurements into a form of immediate
B5
— devices keep getting smaller and more powerful. Already there are sensors that attach to the skin and are so small you barely notice them. They send messages about your body through wireless signals to machines that interpret them. Some experts predict that people with certain chronic illnesses will soon be constantly monitored, day and night. The illnesses include irregular heart rhythms and epilepsy, for example. The monitoring will spot early warning signs and collect information that affects treatment. It may sound a little like Big Brother, but it could become a valuable aid in diagnosing and treating disease. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.
