‘It’s never too late’ for GED graduate GOOD MORNING Kruse Foundation pays off $3 million debt AUBURN — The Kruse Museum, operated by the Dean V. Kruse Foundation Inc., has paid off its $3 million building cost, a news release said. The World War II museum paid off financing to Farmer’s State Bank of LaGrange. “We finally got the debt paid off for the Granatelli building,” Dean Kruse said Saturday night. Court records show that a sheriff’s sale of the museum property was scheduled for Oct. 25, but was canceled shortly before the sale date. The original $3 million building cost was intended to be the Andy Granatelli Racing Museum and Hall of Fame, but Granatelli backed out of the museum deal. “I was stuck with that building — payments $30,000 a month and nobody in it,” Kruse said. Late last year an auction of German military vehicles brought in $2.95 million, leaving Kruse $400,000 short of paying what was owed. Recently, Kruse settled out of court on a 9-year-old lawsuit over a building he sold in French Lick and the net proceeds from that were $455,000. “We used that to get all the way out of debt,” Kruse said. “It’s free and clear now. I need to find a buyer or a tenant for the Granatelli Museum.” In 2012, a South Dakota car collector bought the building at auction but the buyer backed out of the deal. The Kruse Museum has rental facilities, party rooms, a library, grandstand area and theater rooms with full video and electronic ability.

AUBURN — When Beth Hasty was a junior at DeKalb High School in 1978, she became pregnant and dropped out of school. “I was 16 and a single mother and living with my parents in Ashley,” she said. “It was tough. I had to get a job to support my baby.” In the back of her mind as the years passed by, the thought lingered of getting her General
Education Development certificate. She found work, got married, raised a family and now lives in Auburn and has five grandchildren. It wasn’t until 2012, when she lost her job and applied for work at employment agencies, that Hasty told herself to get her GED. “Every agency I went to, they told me they had jobs for me if I had the GED,” she said. “I had years of experience in customer
service, shipping, quality control, driving a forklift, but I needed the GED.” Today at 2 p.m., Hasty will be one of 35-40 candidates receiving their GED certificates during Impact Institute’s GED graduation program at the Kendallville Event Center on Professional Way in Kendallville.

Death toll high
Finally FORT WAYNE — A barren grave site of a Civil War veteran is no longer unmarked after a 142-year wait, due to the efforts of two descendants. John Cranston, a Civil War Union soldier from Co. A 17th Regiment Kansas Volunteer Infantry, died May 19, 1871, after the war. He is buried in Lindenwood Cemetery, Fort Wayne. Greg Cranston of Middlebury, and his father, Tom Cranston Sr. of Jimmerson Lake, John Cranston’s descendants, never knew anything about him until they started dabbling in genealogy. “I started doing genealogy in Fort Wayne and typed in ‘Cranston’ in a search in Lindenwood. We got a date off records, and we went to newspapers,” Greg said. From there, their research continued. They found out John didn’t die in the war.
Beth Hasty of Auburn is one of several candidates receiving her GED certificate today in Kendallville.
After a 142-year wait, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs saw to it that the grave of Civil War veteran John Cranston, was no longer unmarked. His descendants, Tom Cranston Sr., right, and Greg Cranston, show John Cranston’s headstone. Until the father and son started researching genealogy, they knew nothing of their Civil War veteran relative.

TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — The central Philippine city of Tacloban was in ruins Saturday, a day after being ravaged by one of the strongest typhoons on record, as horrified residents spoke of storm surges as high as trees and authorities said they were expecting a “very high number of fatalities.” At least 138 people were confirmed dead in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. But Philippine Red Cross Secretary General Gwen Pang said that agency field staff in the region estimated the toll was about 1,000. Pang, however, emphasized that it was “just an estimate.” The typhoon slammed into six central Philippine islands on Friday, wiping away buildings and leveling seaside homes. At least 118 of the confirmed deaths were on hardest-hit Leyte Island, where Tacloban is located, said national disaster agency spokesman Maj. Reynaldo Balido. But after arriving in Tacloban on Saturday, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said it was too early to know how many people had died in the storm, which was heading toward Vietnam after moving away from the Philippines. “The rescue operation is ongoing.

Sovereign citizens movement on the rise BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — Jerry Coker, 54, seems similar to many people. The Auburn resident has a family. To support himself and that family, he has been a truck driver, a social worker and a minister. He currently does roofing and siding when he can find Coker the work. What separates Coker from the mainstream is his set of beliefs. He considers himself a sovereign citizen, a movement that may be picking up steam in northeastern Indiana.
As a sovereign citizen, Coker believes the only law he must follow is in the United States Constitution. State statutes and local ordinances are invalid, Coker said, and law enforcement has no right to enforce them. He came to the movement 2 1/2 years ago, after studying the law, he said. What he read caused him to change his views. “I lived 51 years believing all was well here in Oz,” he said. “It changed me. I don’t believe I am a United States citizen.” Coker is not alone in his beliefs: • Within the last month, another person from DeKalb County wrote a letter to the Noble County Sheriff’s Department
after receiving a traffic citation. That person said he considered the citation a contract to which he was not a party, and he would not recognize it. • In December 2012, LaGrange County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office investigator John Parrish and LaGrange Circuit Court Judge J. Scott VanDerbeck were sued in federal court by a Shipshewana man who claimed he was improperly charged and arrested. The suit eventually was dismissed for lack of merit, but it cost LaGrange County thousands of dollars in legal fees, Parrish said. The sovereign citizen movement is not a new phenomenon. In the mid-1990s, several people describing themselves as
freemen in Noble County had their homes taken when they refused to pay property taxes they said were unlawful. The movement waned for a time, but that line of thought is making a comeback in some circles, according to Noble County Sheriff Doug Harp. “It died out,” he said. “Now there seems to be a resurgence. It does seem like it’s back on the upswing.” Steuben County Sheriff Tim Troyer and Parrish said they have seen a rise in activity in their counties as well, but the number of law enforcement contacts with sovereign citizens remain few and far between.

Lawmakers: ‘We’re not Washington’
Anti-bullying effort to reach students, teachers, parents
BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — There is no feud between state legislators or the State Board of Education and Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz, state Sen. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange, told a small group of constituents at Saturday’s Legislative Forum in the Kendallville Public Library. “There are disagreements, but there is no feud,” she said. “Many of us are working with the Department of Education on legislation. This isn’t Washington. We get along. Education should not be a political football.” Glick was commenting on a reported rift between Ritz and the State Board of Education. Ritz filed a lawsuit in October alleging the board violated the Indiana Open Door Law by sending a letter to legislative leaders asking them to intervene in calculating A-F school grades for the 2012-2013 school year. The letter was emailed to board members for them to sign, except for Ritz. Friday, Marion Circuit Judge Louis Rosenberg dismissed the lawsuit. The two-hour forum attracted 15 people, including Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe and City Councilmen Larry Davis, Jim Dazey and Frank Walkup. Glick and state Rep, David Ober, R-Albion, heard complaints about taxes, property assessments, Common Core, Obamacare, and county prosecutors and judges having too much power when one political party rules for a lengthy period of time.

State Sen. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange, and State Rep. David Ober, R-Albion, met with constituents at Saturday’s Legislative Forum sponsored by the Kendallville Public Library’s legislative committee.
With the next session of the Indiana General Assembly not starting in January and state legislators in summer work sessions, there was no new legislation to discuss. Glick described her work session on formulating a state plan to retain, treat and use Indiana’s water resources. Ober had no legislative committees, but attended a national labor conference with state legislators from around the nation. One topic discussed at the conference was funding for public employee pensions, an issue Ober expects the House Labor Committee to tackle in the next legislative session. Legislative study committees meet once or twice during the summer and exchange reports and proposed legislation, said Glick. Organization day for the legislature will be Nov. 19, when committees issue reports for consideration by the state legislature for bills. Property reassessment complaints took up much of the forum’s first hour, with constituents citing their own situations of alleged unfair and incorrect reassessments by the Noble County assessor’s office and private contractors
hired to help with reassessments, now conducted every two years. Glick pointed out that in the past, property was assessed by local people who knew the land and the owners, such as township trustees. The Department of Local Government Finance took that away and left it up to county government to assess and reassess property. County government hired private contractors to help. Ober said caps on property taxes made the reassessment worse. “A lot of assessments are not the true value of the property,” he said. “Property assessment is the biggest issue I hear from people in my district. Your house is worth what someone will pay for it.” The system has led to constant reassessments and appeals, which slows the process, said Glick. Regarding Common Core standards in education, both legislators said Indiana, with a $2 billion budget surplus, is in a position to decline federal funding if it means accepting Common Core. Indiana has not decided whether to join the Common Core movement.
Girl, 6, dies in arson fire LAFAYETTE (AP) — Authorities say a 6-year-old girl has died from injuries sustained in an arson fire outside Lafayette. Tippecanoe County Sheriff Tracy Brown tells the Journal & Courier, Katelyn Lane was taken to IU Health Arnett, where she later died. The fire broke out at about 1 a.m. Saturday at the home of two men. Brown says the girl’s mother, Mindy Kirby, apparently left her daughter in the care Friday of one of the men who lives in the house. Brown says that man, 53-year-old David Trueblood, was taken St. Elizabeth East, where he remains in serious condition, suffering from burns and smoke inhalation.
ALBION — An internationally known speaker will work with teachers, students and parents from two Central Noble schools Wednesday in an effort to stop bullying. Jerry Ackerman of Indianapolis has spoken to students from South Korea to New York with his message of good choices. Ackerman He’s bringing that message in the context of bullying to Central Noble middle and high schools Wednesday. While bullying has been getting national attention due to allegations of bullying against Miami Dolphins player Richie Incognito, the Central Noble program was in the works before that story reached the media, said Geoff Brose, principal of both schools. “The last two or three years, I’ve been getting more complaints about bullying,” Brose said. He asked his staff, “What can we do to be proactive on bullying?” Central Noble Middle School Assistant Principal Shawn Hoover worked to bring in Ackerman, obtaining a grant to cover the costs of his program, Brose said. She and Ashley Vice from the middle school helped put the effort together. “We know that bullying can threaten students’ physical and emotional
safety at school and can negatively impact their ability to learn,” Hoover said. “We chose this program because it offered a multilevel approach to education, including large student assemblies, small-group training, teacher-directed training and a parent/community outreach presentation.” Including people outside the school is important, Hoover said. “Bullying is not just a school issue and it takes all of us — school, parents and the community — working together to send the message. Bullying has no place in our schools, in our homes, and in our community,” she said. “It is important for everyone in the school community to work together to send a unified message against bullying,” Hoover added. Ackerman will work with teachers before school Wednesday, then talk with students during the day, Brose said. A program with Ackerman called “Bully Prevention Night: A Parent’s Duty” will take place in the Central Noble High School auditorium from 6:30-7:15 p.m. Wednesday. Among his topics will be: two things kids need from parents; why bullying is getting worse and what to do; knowing your child’s relationship with technology, their friends and you; the three characteristics of a family with a backbone; the best apps to use; and startling statistics.

Members of the DeKalb Horsemen’s Association serve food from a chuck wagon at Sunday’s groundbreaking ceremony for a new Draft Animal Museum south of Auburn.
AUBURN — Members of the DeKalb Horsemen’s Association held a groundbreaking ceremony Sunday for a new 100-by-60-foot barn and 40-by-60-foot office building that will become the Draft Animal Museum just south of Auburn. Association shared the association’s vision with dozens of people assembled in a sunny, grassy area near a pond as a swan swam silently on the water. The group always has had a dream to one day build a barn and have farmland on which to build a museum, said its president, Myron Stackhouse. The buildings will house the association’s antique farm equipment, 10 wagons and other assorted implements. Stackhouse said they hope to one day build an arena in which to show animals and maybe add another barn for horses and perhaps a petting zoo.

The change in traffic controls is a result of a traffic study completed by INDOT that reviewed traffic patterns and the crash history at the intersection.
East Noble weighs future of building KENDALLVILLE — East Noble School Corp. officials will conduct a series of public meetings throughout the district this month on the future of the middle school. Superintendent Ann Linson said it is becoming increasingly difficult and costly to maintain the East Noble Middle School at the corner of Diamond and Riley streets. Part of the building is the old Kendallville High School constructed in 1919. Public meetings are scheduled for: • East Noble Middle
School, Thursday, Nov. 14, at 6:30 p.m.; • Rome City Elementary School, Monday, Nov. 18, at 6:30 p.m.; and • Avilla Elementary School, Tuesday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 p.m.
Deer reduction set at state parks A total of 21 Indiana state parks — including two in northeast Indiana — will close temporarily to allow for controlled deer reductions in the coming weeks. Dates for the temporary closings are Nov. 18 and 19, and Dec. 2 and 3. The state parks affected include Chain O’Lakes in Noble County and Pokagon in Steuben County. Department of Natural Resources biologists evaluate which parks require a reduction each year based on habitat recovery and previous harvest rates at each park.
Garage sale rules draw opponents KENDALLVILLE — The city council may face opposition to proposed garage sale regulations. Tuesday night the council unanimously approved first reading of a proposed ordinance requiring a permit and $5 permit fee for a garage or yard sale, limiting garage sales to three a year for any person, firm or corporation and only two at any one location. The ordinance calls for removal of sale items and equipment at the end of the last day of the sale and removal of signs promoting the sale within 24 hours of the last day of the sale.

Saving energy, reducing waste and taking advantage of growing opportunities to serve customers electronically are hardly new to the business world. But 3Rivers Federal Credit Union has incorporated those goals into the very fabric of its culture through new buildings and new programs that demonstrate its commitment to social responsibility as well as to the health and well-being of its members. Since 3Rivers broke ground on its Northland Boulevard campus — a new headquarters building and the complete renovation of the existing building adjacent to it — an estimated 300 tons of building materials such as concrete, wood, metals, plastics and drywall have been recycled. That figure also includes paper, plastic and aluminum products from inside the buildings. The new headquarters building was constructed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards, and the old one was brought up to those standards. Several 3Rivers branches also are LEED-certified, giving 3Rivers six LEED buildings altogether, more than any other financial institution in the state. The change didn’t happen overnight. Early on in the process, 3Rivers brought in Momentum Inc., a Seattlebased firm with a reputation for managing the design and construction of LEED-certified buildings for financial institutions. And in addition to building and remodeling with sustainability in mind, “3Rivers initiated a deep cultural change in how the organization and its team members recycle, reduce and reuse,� said marketing communications manager Melissa Shaw.

Tribute •
An organizer, perfectionist BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
ORLAND — Mike Couture was an outdoorsman, master woodsmith, organizer and perfectionist. Mike died Oct. 8 at Parkview Regional Medical Center from esophageal cancer. Mike’s life varied with endeavors. He was in sales, with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, ran a restaurant and owned a tropical fish store. “He was handsome and rugged and had an aura. When he walked into a room — he filled it,” his wife, Kristina, said. “He was one of the four finest men I knew — in addition to my two sons and father.” Mike worked in sales for Covington Memorial Funeral Home and Gardens. Kristina said he was a proponent of pre-sale funerals. It was part of his knack for organizing everything and wanting the same for others to help bring them comfort. “You can’t go anywhere where he didn’t organize. He’s up in heaven with a level and a plumb line,” she said in reference to his ability in woodworking. After his work as a sales manager, he went to work for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. “He always had a love of the outdoors,” Kristina said. “He started at Pigeon River in maintenance. He had good electrical skills, and at Pokagon State Park, he did a lot of work at the nature center and with tobogganing.” He was able to incorporate that enjoyment of nature into his work at Pokagon and eventually the Fawn River Fish Hatchery. “At the fish hatchery, he organized the fish room. He spawned muskie, walleye. It was a matter of what didn’t he do. He called himself, ‘Fishhead,’” she said. “He was into fish and the outdoors, but said he’d clean fish, but couldn’t skin a deer.” To Tim Glasper, Pokagon maintenance supervisor, Mike definitely left an impression at

the popular Steuben County park. Many times, he used his master woodsmith skills to help improve the park by refurbishing toboggans or building picnic tables. When the park’s maintenance shop was set up, Mike built shelves for storage. “When I walk about in the shop now, I look at it different,” Glasper said. “He did leave his mark.” Perhaps Mike’s proudest creations were his wooden dashboards he made for Studebaker Atlantis automobiles. Kristina said she has an attic full of the dashes to remind her of his craftsmanship and attention to detail. Mike treated his two stepsons as if they were his own, calling them his “boys.” One stepson, Navy Master Chief Phelan Cox, is currently deployed out of Japan. He shared in an email
how much Mike meant to him. “The thing I remember most fondly about Mike was his patience with the grandkids. He was able to not be the control freak and let them learn,” Cox wrote. “A couple of examples: fishing and rock polishing. He was a good example to me of a man of God.” At the end of his life, Kristina said, Mike knew his death was pending but was comforted by his faith. “He loved his God. He knew he had two days to die, and knew he would go be with his Lord,” she said. Mike survived by his wife, Kristina; one daughter; two stepsons and nine grandchildren. Memorials may be made to Pokagon State Park or the Fawn River Fish Hatchery.
WWII Doolittle Raiders make final toast DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — The surviving Doolittle Raiders, all in their 90s, considered their place in history for their daring World War II attack on Japan amid thousands of cheering fans, as they prepared for a final ceremonial toast Saturday to their fallen comrades. A B-25 bomber flyover helped cap an afternoon memorial tribute in which a wreath was placed at the Doolittle Raider monument outside the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton. Museum officials estimated some 5,000 people turned out for Veterans Day weekend events honoring the 1942 mission credited with rallying American morale and throwing the Japanese off balance. Acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning said America was at a low point, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and other Axis successes, before “these 80

men who showed the nation that we were nowhere near defeat.” He noted that all volunteered for a mission with high risks throughout, from the launch of B-25 bombers from a carrier at sea, the attack on Tokyo, and lack of fuel to reach safe bases. Only four of the 80 are still alive. The Raiders said, at the time, they didn’t realize their mission would be considered an important event in turning the war’s tide. It inflicted little major damage physically, but changed Japanese strategy while firing up Americans. “It was what you do … over time, we’ve been told what effect our raid had on the war and the morale of the people,” Lt. Col. Edward Saylor, 93, said in an interview. The Brusset, Mont. native, who now lives in Puyallup, Wash., said he was one of the lucky ones. “There were a whole bunch of guys in World War II; a lot of people didn’t come back,” he said. Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, 92, of Missoula, Mont., said during the war, the raid seemed like “one of many bombing missions.” The most harrowing part for him was the crash-landing of his plane, depicted in the movie “Thirty Seconds over Tokyo.” Three crew members died as Raiders bailed out or crash-landed their planes in

After Thomas Griffin of Cincinnati died in February at age 96, the survivors decided at the 71st anniver-
sary reunion in April in Fort Walton, Beach, Fla., that it would be their last and that they would gather this autumn for one last toast together instead of waiting, as had been the original plan, for the last two survivors to make the toast. “We didn’t want to get a city all excited and plan and get everything set up for a reunion, and end up with no people because of our age,” explained Lt. Col. Richard Cole, the oldest survivor at 98.
The Family of Eric Brandgard wants to thank everyone for their cards, visits, food, flowers and most of all your love and prayers during our most difficult time of Eric’s illness and passing. Also, thanks for the beautiful services of Hite Funeral Home, Rev. Bret Frymier, Rev. Dr. Dan Barker and friends who shared in his memorial; and many people in the community who showed their support in so many different ways. Even though our hearts are broken, we thank the God we love that Eric is now resting in peace in His arms. We will always love you, our husband, dad and grandpa.

Iran nuclear deal fails after ‘significant progress’ GENEVA (AP) — Talks on curbing Iran’s nuclear program ended with no deal early today after France objected that proposed measures didn’t go far enough, but U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said “significant progress” had been made on the differences that remain. Six world powers and Iran agreed to resume talks Nov. 20. Both sides badly wanted agreement. The U.S. and its five partners were looking for initial caps on Iran’s ability to make an atomic bomb, while Tehran sought some easing of sanctions stifling its economy. But France would not soften its concerns over Iran’s polonium project and the level of its uranium
enrichment program. Kerry, speaking to reporters after the talks broke up, acknowledged there were “certain issues that we needed to work through.” “We’re grateful to the French for the work we did together,” Kerry said. As the talks foundered after initial signs of progress, Kerry rushed to Geneva on Friday, followed by counterparts from Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, for a last-ditch effort to push through an agreement. That failed, with disputes between the two sides complicated by rare open dissent within the six powers. France rejected a joint list of demands on Iran, saying they were too generous to result in
sanctions relief. After the talks ended, top EU diplomat Catherine Ashton spoke of “a lot of concrete progress” but also of “some differences.” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said he hoped those disagreements will be resolved at a future meeting. The two said the talks would resume Nov. 20 with Ashton and Zarif in attendance, but the other delegations will be led by senior civil servants instead of foreign ministers. Prospects for an agreement dimmed after the French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius raised objections to a draft that the French had previously agreed to. Fabius spoke of “several points

Doctor’s conviction in death of wife follows long pursuit
Journalists covering Syria’s civil war facing grave danger BEIRUT (AP) — Behind a veil of secrecy, at least 30 journalists have been kidnapped or have disappeared in Syria — held and threatened with death by extremists or taken captive by gangs seeking ransom. The widespread seizure of journalists is unprecedented, and has been largely unreported by news organizations in the hope that keeping the kidnappings out of public view may help to negotiate the captives’ release. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says at least 30 journalists are being held and 52 have been killed since Syria’s civil war began in early 2011. The group also has documented at least 24 other journalists who disappeared earlier this year but are now safe. In a report this week, Paris-based Reporters Without Borders cited higher figures, saying at least 60 “news providers” are detained and more than 110 have been killed.
Iran’s Arak reactor southeast of Tehran could produce enough plutonium for several nuclear weapons a year once it goes online, which is expected to happen next year. Fabius said France was seeking a freeze on construction during negotiations. He also spoke of disagreement over efforts to limit Iran’s uranium enrichment to levels that would require substantial further enriching before they could be used as the fissile core of a nuclear weapon. Iran insists it is pursuing only nuclear energy, medical treatments and research, but the U.S. and its allies fear that Iran could turn this material into the fissile core of nuclear warheads.

PROVO, Utah (AP) — The conviction of a Utah doctor in the murder of his wife was the culmination of a yearslong pursuit of justice by the family of the victim. The daughters and sisters of Michele MacNeill hounded authorities to investigate Martin MacNeill amid an initial finding that the 2007 death was natural, possibly from heart disease. They attended court hearings and sat in the front row of the courtroom at a 2012 preliminary hearing holding photos of Michele MacNeill. They were in Provo again throughout this three-week trial, listening intently. Several of them testified. When the verdict was read, they let out a loud yelp before dissolving in tears as the jury delivered its verdict to the tense, packed courtroom.

Although Kerry publicly played down the differences with Fabius, other diplomats at the talks said the last-minute objections came as a surprise and complicated the chances of agreement. They demanded anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the closed negotiations.

In this Tuesday photo, Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie celebrates his election victory in Asbury Park, N.J., after defeating Democratic challenger Barbara Buono. A dominant re-election victory in hand, Christie is charging forward on a path to bolster his resume as a get-it-done Republican leader while broadening a national network of political allies, an aggressive course designed to strengthen Christie’s appeal as he weighs a 2016 presidential bid.
Christie keeps charging forward TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A dominant re-election victory in hand, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is pursuing a path to bolster his resume as a get-it-done Republican leader and to broaden a national network of political allies. This aggressive course is designed to strengthen his appeal as he considers whether to run for president in 2016. Christie faces stubborn skeptics on all sides, even though he won a second term Tuesday by 22 percentage points. Democrats who control the New Jersey Legislature are questioning his second-term priorities. Some conservative activists in important presidential primary states remain outright hostile to the Republican politician who embraced Democratic President Barack Obama last fall during Superstorm Sandy just days before the country picked the next president. “I don’t like the man,” said Chelle Adkins, a
Republican activist from northern Iowa, the state set to hold the nation’s first presidential nominating contest in roughly two years. “I’ll vote for him over a Democrat, but not in the caucuses.” Christie’s advisers suggest he has a one-year window to stack up more accomplishments before lame-duck status — and a prospective White House campaign — interfere. On his to-do list: cut taxes and enact education changes that include school vouchers. Those are policy goals that his party’s right flank probably would cheer. Christie also plans to continue courting Hispanics. He has expressed support for a New Jersey law that would grant in-state tuition for children of people living in the United States illegally. While that policy might alienate some conservatives, Christie is betting that he can maintain the popularity among minority voters that was a key to his re-election.

US asks judge to order BOA to pay nearly $864 million NEW YORK (AP) — Federal prosecutors want Bank of America Corp. to pay about $864 million over losses incurred by the government after it bought thousands of home loans made by Countrywide Financial during the housing boom. U.S. attorney Preet Bharara made the request in documents filed late Friday with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. A jury last month found Bank of America Corp., which acquired Countrywide in 2008, liable for knowingly selling thousands of bad home loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between August 2007 and May 2008. The panel also returned the verdict against Countrywide and a former executive, Rebecca Mairone. The trial related to mortgages the government said were sold at break-neck speed without regard to quality as the economy headed into a tailspin.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government shutdown may have affected October’s jobs numbers. But not how you think. For weeks, the White House had braced for a dour report on hiring, with economists and aides lowering expectations and blaming last month’s partial shutdown for the inevitable bad news to come. Then Friday’s numbers materialized: Employers appeared to have ignored the shutdown and hired away, to the tune of 204,000 jobs in October. The shutdown, it seemed, had no effect. Not so fast. In the height of irony, the 16 days of federal worker furloughs and government disruptions may have helped, not hurt, the improved jobs picture. Typically, jobs numbers are announced on the first Friday of the month. Because of the shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics delayed the release of
the jobs numbers by one week to allow more time to collect payroll and household data. That extra time resulted in an above average response rate for payroll data. So, not to get hung up on numbers, but the average participation rate by employers in payroll surveys for the nine months before October was 76.4 percent. That meant that in subsequent months, as more data was collected, the hiring numbers were adjusted, often upward. In October, with an extra week to collect data, the participation rate was 83.5 percent, the highest ever. A robust hiring number, to some economists, now felt slightly inflated. “It seems that when the initial response rate is high, the initial payroll number is often, though certainly not always, stronger than the prior trend,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

Our View •
Trans fat ban will save lives It took three decades of effort by people who care about Americans’ health, but the Food and Drug Administration finally has proposed measures that would eliminate trans fats from the U.S. diet. Partially hydrogenated oils (containing trans fats), which are cheaper than many natural fats, have many undesirable effects on health. For example, they raise a person’s level of “bad cholesterol” and may reduce “good cholesterol.” The Institute of Medicine has concluded that there is no safe level for consumption of trans fats. Harvard School of Public Health Professor Walter Willett said the Centers for Disease Control estimates that about 7,000 premature deaths could be avoided by eliminating the trans fats that currently are being added to the U.S. food supply. He predicts “reductions in rates of heart attacks, diabetes and obesity.” For many years heart patients were told that using margarine, which in the past contained trans fats, was healthier than using butter. But new research indicates that the natural saturated animal fat in butter may not be harmful, when consumed in moderation. The 2003 FDA requirement that artificial trans fats be listed on food labels prompted some producers and some food chains, like McDonald’s, to eliminate them — leading to a sharp drop in U.S. consumption of trans fats (down from 4.6 grams a day in 2006 to one gram a day in 2012). A CDC report found that blood levels of trans fatty acids among white adults in the United States declined by 58 percent from 2000 to 2009. But trans fats remain in many popular brands of frostings, microwave popcorn, packaged pies, frozen pizzas, margarines and coffee creamers. The trans fat ban — assuming it receives final approval — is a step forward on the road to better health for all Americans. But it is a long journey. Good health is not about “taking away” things — it is about lifestyle choices, such as choosing to learn more about nature’s bounty and enjoying the freshest, least processed foods available. Americans’ overall health will rise as educational levels increase.
Education puzzle High fives to some of our students and educators. Indiana’s fourth- and eighth-grade students had the second largest improvement rate among states last year on standardized math and reading tests. The 2013 Nation’s Report Card released Thursday shows Indiana’s fourth graders ranked fourth in the nation in math scores and demonstrated statistically significant improvements in math and reading scores. Fifty-two percent of Indiana fourth graders tested at or above proficient in math, compared to the national average of 42 percent. This is great news but just one small piece in the gigantic education puzzle as we strive to enable Hoosier students to graduate from high school prepared for the additional education and/or training they will need to be productive members of our work force. State Schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz said she’s encouraged by the gains, particularly those in the fourth grade. But looking at the bigger picture we ask: Why do so many high school honor students require costly remedial aid when they begin college? Are they choosing the wrong courses and/ or are the classes — and the students’ efforts — inadequate? Those questions puzzle us.

Letters • Smaltz shows indecisiveness on same-sex marriage To the editor: Ben Smaltz “… would not reveal his personal stance on same-sex marriage …” So writes Aaron Organ in his front-page article Sunday, Nov. 3, on local legislators and House Joint Resolution 6 (HJR6). Even in an attempt at clarification in Wednesday’s edition, he refused. So what else is new? This is typical behavior for Ben Smaltz, who presents himself as a conservative Republican but who cannot seem to formulate a personal opinion on most anything. His whole tenure in county government was an exercise in political non-commitment. Why would you expect anything different now that he sits in the State House? I recall an early 2012 campaign public meeting where Ben Smaltz was asked a question about his views on education policy. His response was about one-eighth inch deep stating that he had two children in school and he was glad for their success. He then turned the question over to his family members in the crowd for them to bail him out. The problem he has now is that he does not have anybody’s skirts to hide behind. But that is exactly what he is attempting to do by hiding behind the smokescreen of a statewide referendum. And he insists on having a finished bill in front of him before he will discuss the issue? No! Mr. Smaltz. The voters of District 52 deserve an honest, straightforward legislator who will stand and deliver. Either Ben Smaltz is incapable of doing his own research and coming to a conclusion or he is a coward for not putting it forward. Which is it? The Republican godfathers of DeKalb County must be embarrassed by such indecisiveness. But of course they knew that before they agreed to push him out of the county courthouse and into the
State House. Imagine any other politician claiming to be a conservative stating that he does not have a stance on same-sex marriage. Name one! I stated clearly during the 2012 campaign as a candidate for District 52 my position in support of the natural family and against same-sex marriage — a position I have held for over a 40-year career. And Ben Smaltz is still trying to make up his mind? My years of association with the World Congress of Families (worldcongress. org) and my personal friendship with its founder, Dr. Allan Carlson, have given me an international perspective on this issue over and against the sex-crazed political-correctness of our current culture. My longtime membership in the Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society (profam.org) and my friendship with its founder, Dr. John Howard, have provided me with years of scholarly insight from a conservative “think tank” committed to the natural family as the foundation of our society. I find it absurd that Ben Smaltz refuses to reveal his position on same-sex marriage; that is if he even has one. Especially since the very definition of marriage as between one man and one woman provides not only for the structure of family and children but also speaks to the very foundation of a free society. If Mr. Smaltz believes otherwise, then his election last year was a sham and a fraud perpetrated upon us by the establishment kingmakers of the Republican Party of DeKalb County who endorsed him. Just as a reminder to the voters of District 52 (DeKalb, Steuben and Allen counties), the primary elections are only about six months away. May I suggest that it is time to reconsider who represents us in the State House — perhaps someone with a political backbone? David Powers Auburn
Republicans’ defunding strategy mystifies Coats On the morning of Oct. 16 — with the United States government shuttered three weeks and just hours away from the first federal default in history — U.S. Sen. Dan Coats was incredulous. Heritage Action CEO Michael Needham said of Obamacare, “Well, everybody understands that we’ll not be able to repeal this law until 2017. We have to win the Senate and win the White House. Right now it is clear that this bill is not ready for prime time. It is clear the bill is unfair.” It was Heritage Foundation, headed by former senator Jim DeMint, and the Heritage Action PAC that had fanned the flames of the Obamacare defund movement that found ardent disciples in Indiana U.S. Reps. Marlin Stutzman, Todd Rokita and Jackie Walorski. On the brink of the vote, Needham had revealed just how cynical, stupid and reckless things had become in Washington. Coats heard that and thought, “We went through all of this for him to say that?” There were plenty of people beginning last summer who saw the defund movement take shape and knew that the math was not there. With President Obama in the White House and Democrats controlling the Senate 55-45 after Republicans had booted away a Senate seat in Indiana and five other states, there was never a scenario for it to work. Last summer, the Indiana Congressional delegation met to discuss the scenario. Since Coats became the state’s senior senator following Dick Lugar’s 2012 primary defeat to tea party-inspired Richard Mourdock, he has gathered the delegation together to coordinate on state matters and talk through issues.
Asked to describe the Indiana delegation meetings as the defund effort gathered steam, Coats explained, “There was good communication. Obviously we didn’t come out as one vote in the end. I respect people’s difference of opinion because it was a complicated issue.” Coats described delegation members viewed the HOWEY who scenario through POLITICAL different lenses. REPORT “Some were looking at it from the default standpoint, raising Brian Howey the debt limit, and some were looking at it from a shutdown standpoint,” Coats said. Stutzman, a close ally of Heritage’s Jim DeMint, was an early advocate of the defund effort in mid-summer and congressional staff sources tell me he addressed the delegation on his stance, though he declined to comment. Coats explained, “We talked about this in July. I didn’t think the shutdown would work. I didn’t see the president bending, or Democrats in the Senate coming our way. The bottom line was those who thought the shutdown was the best strategy were able to test it. And it didn’t produce the results. So, I think what was unfortunate about the whole thing, the (Ted) Cruz strategy — which was really developed by Jim DeMint — has become the face of that. But it is the lobby group that has designed the strategy and enforces it through various means.” In 1988-89 when Health and Human Services Sec. Doc Bowen’s
•
catastrophic health care law was signed by President Reagan, public opinion shifted, and with President George H.W. Bush in office, Congress repealed the law. Coats observed that Bush “had no stake” in the Bowen law. That was the not the case with President Obama, who for the next three years will defend Obamacare. “That’s the huge difference between Obama and Bush,” Coats said. “That’s what is so different with this situation. No one gave any kind of realistic assessment where the president would say, ‘Oh yeah, that was a terrible mistake. Give me my pen so I can sign this.’ That’s why the math just doesn’t add up because it would take 21 Democrats to override a presidential veto.” “The goal was to try and convince Democrats of the inadequacy of this legislation,” Coats said, but the effort turned its guns on Republicans. On the day of Needham’s admission, Heritage Action announced it would score the vote any way. Coats observed that 95 percent of Obamacare funding is mandatory, and only a mere 5 percent was covered in the Continuing Resolution. It truly was a fool’s errand. While Reps. Walorski, Stutzman, Rokita, Larry Bucshon and Luke Messer voted against the bill that reopened the government and prevented default, Coats and Reps. Susan Brooks and Todd Young voted yea. Coats is taking heat. He walked through a conversation he had with a constituent who advocated shutdown. “How long do you think we’ll have to shut down?” Coats asked. The response was, “Well, it didn’t have enough time.”
Coats explained, “We talked about this in July. I didn’t think the shutdown would work. I didn’t see the president bending, or Democrats in the Senate coming our way.”
• Well, how much time would be needed? He heard, “As long as it takes.” What if it takes a year? Again, the response was, “As long as it takes.” But Obama will be in office another three years. Coats heard this response: “If that’s what it takes, that’s what we should do.” “And that is something I just couldn’t accept,” Coats said. “This society cannot function with the government closed for three years.” This all brings to mind Russian author Leo Tolstoy, who studied the movement of the masses that can lead to upheaval and even revolution, sometimes quite suddenly. As he observed in “Anna Karenina” there is “not only the pride of intellect, but the stupidity of intellect, and, above all, the dishonesty, yes, the dishonesty of intellect. Yes, indeed, the dishonesty and trickery of intellect.” BRIAN HOWEY is publisher of the Howey Political Report, a weekly briefing on Indiana politics.

Some evangelicals inadvertently harm Middle Eastern Christians BY JOEL ELLIOTT
Some influential evangelical Christian groups are calling for the suspension of aid to Egypt in the wake of a rash of attacks on Coptic Christians in the country. This is a mistake. Following the military coup that deposed former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, Christian lobbying organizations such as the American Center for Law and Justice circulated petitions requesting the U.S. government to suspend aid to Egypt until attacks on Christians came to an end. The ACLJ blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for the attacks, although the Muslim Brotherhood has condemned them. “Defend Egypt’s Christians; defeat the Muslim Brotherhood,” the petition reads. At this writing, more than 91,000 had signed the online petition. While ACLJ had been issuing such petitions even before Morsi was deposed, the misguided recklessness of such a demand is immense. The strangest aspect of this petition is the timing — its latest iteration went out toward the end of August, more than a month after the military overthrew and jailed Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi. While there was violence against Christians in Egypt at that time, not much, if any was coming from the state — the new government was too busy mowing down Morsi supporters in the streets. The irony is, after all of ACLJ lobbying
efforts to cut aid to Morsi’s government, the Copts encountered worse persecution from vigilante violence after Morsi’s overthrow than they ever did when he was in power. In October, ACLJ got part of its wish when President Obama suspended military aid to the new regime in response to violence against civilians, although non-military aid continued. This move was largely panned by Republicans and Democrats alike, and rightly so. Peace between Israel and its neighbors is predicated on Egypt’s peace with Israel, which is predicated on annual payments of about $1.3 billion from the U.S. If relations between Israel and Egypt fall apart, the whole of the Middle East likely would erupt into even more chaos. So why this obsession with the Copts, when the vast majority of civilians killed in this revolution have been Muslim? And why the repeated demands to cut aid to a government that is too busy shooting Islamists in the streets to worry about Christians? How can the ACLJ, and other organizations like it, be so blind to the fact that their demands wouldn’t be good for most Egyptians, wouldn’t be good for the region, and most ironically, wouldn’t help the Copts either? The answer is distance. American Christianity, removed from its roots by about 7,000 miles and 2,000 years, forms a type of diaspora
community. That’s why some pastors in the States obsess about every conflict that arises in the Middle East, pointing to each one as a sign of the End Times — really, when is there not a conflict in the Middle East? — and attempting to analyze it through the prophecies of the Book of Revelation. This is harmless, as long as it stays in the church and out of foreign policy decisions. Another issue is that Middle Eastern Christians, especially the Egyptian Copts, often do not share the American evangelicals’ sense of solidarity. In fact, many of them resent actions taken by evangelicals. Some months back, while working on a research project in a rural village in central Egypt, I sat down with some barefoot Coptic farmers who were taking a tea break in a corner of a corn field. They shocked me with their detailed knowledge of American politics, and then surprised me with what they had to say about certain American Christians. “Sometimes Christians inside the States do stupid things, and the Copts here pay the price,” one Copt told me. “As for instances like when the American, Terry Jones, burned the Qurans, these are mistakes; it’s wrong. Everyone should respect everyone’s beliefs and not insult anyone’s religion.” Nearly every Copt I interviewed — and I interviewed more than a dozen — made similar statements. To be fair, Egyptians commonly blame the

West and the U.S. in particular for many problems that often are home-grown. But there is no denying the wave of deadly protests that swept the Middle East after the Quran-burning incidents. One caveat is that I did my interviews before Morsi’s overthrow, and the associated violence. Most people, even the Copts, professed optimism about the new government. It’s a shame that Morsi squandered such an opportunity for a real revolution and real democracy. But the point is this: Actions taken here can have real consequences in the Middle East, and they often are not what you

We have a young friend who ran the Young Republicans during her college years and now works for a GOP consulting firm. She’s a loyal party member, but she has a problem. She’s from New York — her father and grandfather were both New York City cops — and she feels increasingly alienated from a party whose center of gravity has moved steadily to the South, the West and the Right. A generation ago, many conservative Southern Democrats COKIE became Republicans and explained their shift with some version of STEVEN the phrase, “I didn’t leave my party, my party left me.” Today our young friend feels the same way, and she’s not alone. A GOP dominated by the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz and the tea party is in danger of strangling its centrist wing. But Tuesday’s election provides a spark of hope for the GOP’s Constructive Caucus. The decisive re-election of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — a card-carrying pragmatist — and the defeat of Ken Cuccinelli — a tea party hero who ran for governor of Virginia — shows that pragmatists might still have a place in the GOP after all. That’s a good thing for the Republicans and a good thing for American democracy. In recent years, the United States has come to resemble Europe, dominated by ideologically pure parties on the left and the right. The center of American politics has hollowed out. Two vital political species — right-leaning Southern Democrats and left-leaning Northeastern Republicans — are in danger of extinction. Christie stands as an important counterweight to that trend, a reasonable Republican who can chart a winning path in a deep blue state. And he’s part of a long tradition of successful GOPers in states like New Jersey. Tom Kean (1982 to 1990) and Christine Whitman (1994 to 2001) both won two terms in the state house as pragmatic problem solvers and then served in the administration of Bush 43: Kean as head of the 9/11 Commission and Whitman as administrator of the EPA. There used to be plenty of reasonable Republicans in the Senate as well. Robert Stafford of Vermont authored a program that provides low-cost loans to college students. Bill Cohen of Maine became Secretary of Defense in Bill Clinton’s second term. Richard Lugar of Indiana worked with Democrat Sam Nunn on a bipartisan bill to dismantle nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union — and was
then defeated by a tea party challenger in the primaries last year. Hardly any Christie-type Republicans are left in the Senate. One exception is Susan Collins of Maine, who once worked for Cohen, took his seat in the Senate, and emerged as a key dealmaker during negotiations that reopened the government this fall after a 16-day shutdown. She’s pretty lonely on Capitol Hill these days, but there are GOP pragmatists serving ROBERTS more as governors. After all, senators make speeches but governors ROBERTS make decisions, and that discipline forces them to be more practical. One example: John Kasich of Ohio defied the Republican legislature this fall and managed to expand the state’s Medicaid program. It was “a matter of life and death,” as he told the Cincinnati Enquirer. Christie showed a similar governing style when he worked with President Obama during Hurricane Sandy last year, infuriating Mitt Romney in the middle of his campaign. The New Jersey governor expressed the pragmatist’s creed when he told Politico: “People expect government to work for them … and you can compromise without compromising your principles. It’s not a dirty word.” Significantly, Christie asked only two Republicans to campaign with him this year: former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani (many of his former aides now work for Christie) and Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, a young Hispanic woman who, like Christie, managed to win a blue state. No Ted Cruzes need apply. Cuccinelli took exactly the opposite approach in Virginia, calling in right-wing stalwarts like Ron Paul and Marco Rubio and endorsing a government shutdown that put thousands of Virginia voters out of work. That strategy might be successful in a pure-red state like Texas or Kentucky, but it’s a loser in a purple state like Virginia. And purple places decide national elections. It’s not at all clear that Christie can win the Republican nomination for president in 2016. Voters in Republican primaries tilt far to the right, as the governor’s pal Giuliani discovered in 2008. But after Tuesday, reasonable Republicans know they are not completely alone. There’s still a home for them in the GOP, at least in New Jersey.

Tacloban Airport is covered by debris after powerful Typhoon Haiyan hit Tacloban city, in Leyte province in central Philippines Saturday. Rescuers in the central Philippines counted at least 100 people dead and many more injured Saturday, a day after one of the most powerful typhoons on record ripped through the region, wiping away buildings and leveling seaside homes with massive storm surges.

injured,” Roxas said. “All systems, all vestiges of modern living — communications, power, water — all are down. Media is down, so there is no way to communicate with the people in a mass sort of way.” President Benigno Aquino III said the casualties “will be substantially more,” but gave no figure or estimate. He said the government’s priority was to restore power and communications in isolated areas to allow for the delivery of relief and medical assistance to victims. The Philippine Red Cross and its partners were preparing for a major relief effort “because of the magnitude of the disaster,” said the agency’s chairman, Richard Gordon. The airport in Tacloban, a city of 200,000 located about 580 kilometers (360 miles) southeast of Manila, looked like a muddy wasteland of debris Saturday, with crumpled tin roofs and upturned cars. The airport tower’s glass windows were shattered, and air force helicopters were busy flying in and out at the start of relief operations. “The devastation is, I don’t have the words for it,” Roxas said. “It’s really horrific. It’s a great human tragedy.” Defense Secretary
Voltaire Gazmin said Aquino was “speechless” when he told him of the devastation the typhoon had wrought in Tacloban. “I told him all systems are down,” Gazmin said. “There is no power, no water, nothing. People are desperate. They’re looting.” U.S. Marine Col. Mike Wylie surveyed the damage in Tacloban prior to possible American assistance. “The storm surge came in fairly high and there is significant structural damage and trees blown over,” said Wylie, who is a member of the U.S.-Philippines Military Assistance Group based in Manila. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that America “stands ready to help.” Tacloban is near the Red Beach on Leyte Island where U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur waded ashore on October 20, 1944, fulfilling his famous pledge, “I shall return,” made in March 1942 after President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered him to relocate to Australia as Japanese forces pushed back U.S. and Filipino defenders. Tacloban was the first city to be liberated by U.S. and Filipino forces and served as the Philippines’ temporary capital for several months. It is also the home town of former Filipino first lady Imelda Marcos, whose
nephew, Alfred Romualdez, is the city’s mayor. The president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said in a message to Aquino that the EC had sent a team to assist the Philippine authorities and that “we stand ready to contribute with urgent relief and assistance if so required in this hour of need.” Weather officials said Haiyan had sustained winds of 235 kilometers per hour (147 miles per hour), with gusts of 275 kph (170 mph), when it made landfall. By those measurements, Haiyan would be comparable to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the U.S., and nearly in the top category, a 5. Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are the same, but have different names in different parts of the world. One Tacloban resident said he and others took refuge inside a parked Jeep to protect themselves from the storm, but the vehicle was swept away by a surging wall of water. “The water was as high as a coconut tree,” said 44-year-old Sandy Torotoro, a bicycle taxi driver who lives near the airport with his wife and 8-year-old daughter. “I got out of the Jeep and I was swept away by the rampaging water with logs, trees and our house, which was ripped off from its mooring.”
GRADUATE: Hasty found work in an Ashley facility FROM PAGE A1
Institute GED graduation program. The current GED will be replaced in January by the Test Assessing Secondary Completion developed by CTB/McGrawHill and selected for use by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. Impact Institute provides adult education in Allen, DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley counties. Members of Hasty’s family will attend today’s Impact Institute ceremony. “I missed my high school graduation. I will not pass up this opportunity,” Hasty said. “There were so many people pulling for me. This will be
emotional for me.” Hasty started her GED studies in February. Four days a week, she attended night classes at Auburn Presbyterian Church, an Impact Institute GED site. After being unemployed for nine months, she found work at an Ashley manufacturing facility. She went to work at 5:30 a.m., then attended classes from 3 p.m. until 6:30 or 7:30 p.m. “I had to get used to studying again, after so many years, and overcome my fear of math,” she said. When Hasty was in high school, algebra was offered only in the senior year. She didn’t have algebra in high school, and algebra was part of the GED math test.
Hasty credits the support of her family and her GED instructor, Karen Noll, for her success in passing the five GED tests in science, mathematics, social studies, reading and writing. “It was a privilege to have Beth for a student,” Noll said. “She was an encouragement to other students in the classroom, always had a contagious, cheerful attitude and passed her tests with high scores.” Noll will be among the GED instructors recognized at the graduation program. Asked what advice she can give to others who failed to complete high school, Hasty said, “It’s never too late to get your GED.”
Crisis brewing in Israel-US relations JERUSALEM (AP) — A pair of testy public exchanges this week appear to have undone whatever good will was created between the Israeli and U.S. governments during a high-profile visit by President Barack Obama early this year. Tensions burst into the open during a swing through the region by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. In an interview broadcast on both Israeli and Palestinian TV, Kerry questioned Israel’s seriousness about peace with the Palestinians. Hours later Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired back, vowing not to cave into concessions to the Palestinians — and also saying he “utterly rejects” an emerging nuclear deal between world
powers and Iran. The rancor signals a tough road ahead for the twin American goals of finding a diplomatic solution for Iran’s nuclear program and forging peace between Israel and the Palestinians. And it raises the specter of a return to the uncomfortable relationship that has often characterized dealings between Obama and Netanyahu. Israeli news reports describe Netanyahu as being in “shock” over the possible Iranian compromise. Netanyahu, who sees Iran as an arch-enemy, has vowed to do anything, including a military strike, to prevent Iran from reaching weapons capability. “If there were a synoptic map for diplomatic storms, the National Weather
Service would be putting out a hurricane warning right now,” diplomatic correspondent Chemi Shalev wrote on the website of the newspaper Haaretz. “And given that the turbulence is being caused by an issue long deemed to be critical to Israel’s very existence, we may actually be facing a rare Category 5 flare up, a ‘superstorm’ of U.S.-Israeli relations.” Obama and Netanyahu took office just months apart in 2009, but seemed to share little in common. At joint appearances they appeared uncomfortable and even occasionally sparred. In one famous instance, Netanyahu lectured Obama on the pitfalls of Mideast peacemaking in front of the TV cameras at a White House meeting.
The federal government considers the most extreme wing of the sovereign citizens movement to be domestic terrorists. According to the Las Vegas FOX News affiliate, a couple in that community spent hundreds of hours over four months plotting to abduct, torture and kill Las Vegas police officers as a way to attract attention to their sovereign citizens movement. The couple were arrested in August 2013. The news station also pointed to an incident in Louisiana in 2012. Some of the seven people arrested after a shootout with police that left two deputies dead and two others wounded had links to a sovereign citizen group. In 2010 in Arkansas, a father and son identified as sovereign citizens shot and killed two police officers before being killed by authorities in a separate shootout, the station reported. Nothing close to that has happened involving sovereign citizens in northeastern Indiana. “I’ve never had any violent encounters with them, and I haven’t heard of any” in this area, Harp said. “It is a concern. We know within those groups there’s always a chance a person will take it a step farther than the rest of the group.” DeKalb County Sheriff Don Lauer said he is not particularly concerned about sovereign citizens in general. “I don’t think we have a problem in DeKalb County that we have to worry about,” Lauer said. “Our interactions have been peaceful.” “Some of the sovereign citizen people are very polite, respectful, and are simply standing up for what they believe,” Troyer said. “Some, however, are extreme and can be dangerous.” Coker said he is a peace-loving man. “I don’t want to shed anybody’s blood,” Coker said. “That’s not me. I will defend myself. I’m not
dangerous.”

GRAVE: Veteran Affairs paid for new headstone FROM PAGE A1
“He was in a barn in Fort Wayne and got kicked in the chest by a horse. He lasted a couple minutes and expired in his wife, Alice’s, arms,” Greg said. “He died from a hemorrhage to the lungs.” Reportedly, Alice bought John a cemetery plot and paid $2 for it in 1871. “For 142 years, it was unmarked. My dad knew nothing and didn’t even know his name,” Greg said. It’s not known why the grave was never marked, but with a two-year effort, that eventually was corrected.
A father, son bond The father and son continued to research John Cranston. They were relentless in finding out more. “Greg had some questions for me about family I couldn’t answer,” Tom said. “I never really knew why. I think it was my mission.” “We researched his name, and I wrote the National Archives and sent them $30 for all his papers,” Greg said. Along the way, the father and son checked Fort Wayne directories from 1869 and 1870 and found John Cranston listed as a gang boss for the Fort Wayne-Jackson-Saginaw Railroad. Once the military records were acquired, Greg sent them to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs with a request for a standard headstone on Oct. 9. The VA verified all of the information about John Cranston. Twenty-one days later, on Oct. 30, a headstone was placed on the grave by the veterans group, which also paid for it. “I think it’s amazing,” Greg said. “That makes you
proud to be an American that they honor their veterans so quickly and it was paid for by Veteran Affairs.” In the process, Greg said, the research and acquisition of the headstone has sparked his interest in wanting the same for other unmarked military graves. But the whole process caused the father and son to bond. “It’s really brought my dad and I close. I found him a first cousin in Indianapolis he never met,” Greg said. “Dad is on cloud nine. He is really happy.”
Honoring John’s valor The headstone placed on John Cranston’s grave is granite because, Greg said, it holds up best. It has the Civil War union shield stamped on it. “He was a private, and they didn’t do ranking. This is how they did headstones in the Civil War so you can recognize it,” Greg said. Before placement of John Cranstone’s headstone, the last Civil War marker was installed in the cemetery in 1941. “It’s kind of overwhelming how we pieced it together after 142 years,” Tom said. “When we started this, Greg was in law school, and doing genealogy relieved his mind.” Tom highly praised the veterans organization, as it quickly made sure John Cranston’s grave was appropriately marked after a long wait.
More information sought Sadly, Greg said, there’s not much more information about John Cranston, and he added it would be

• nice to locate a photo of his great-great-grandfather. Reportedly, John Cranston may have been from Tyrone County, Ireland. “He lived in Kansas and moved to Fort Wayne for the railroad,” Greg said. “He had red hair, blue and eyes and was 5 foot, 7 inches tall. All the Cranstons have red hair.” But the father and son may travel to Ireland in the future seeking more information on John Cranston. They know in 1849 he came to America during the Irish Potato Famine and worked on the railroad. “We were so lucky to have him in Fort Wayne. We could have easily had to go to Kansas,” Greg said. “I’d like to find out if he has brothers.” The pair received much assistance from the Genealogy Center at Fort Wayne and Lindenwood Cemetery. Meanwhile, Greg said, a ceremony will be held at the cemetery on traditional Memorial Day, May 30, 2014, when John Cranston will be honored. “Once you have information like this, it stays with your for the rest of your life,” Greg said. “This lasts.”

Wyss, the Herald’s Andean bureau chief, was detained Thursday by the National Guard in San Cristobal, a western city near the border with Colombia that is a hotbed for illegal transactions used to circumvent rigid currency controls. The Herald’s World Editor John Yearwood had flown to
Caracas Saturday to usher the reporter out of the country. Throughout the ordeal, Venezuelan authorities never said why Wyss was being detained or whether he was facing charges. Nor did President Nicolas Maduro, an outspoken critic of the U.S., mention the case during a four-hour televised speech Friday night. Wyss, who is based in Bogota and has made many trips to Venezuela, traveled to San Cristobal to report on next month’s municipal elections, which are taking place amid an economic crisis marked by 54 percent inflation and shortages of staples such as milk and toilet paper.

THE HERALD REPUBLICAN
NEW YORK (AP) — Falling a game short of the NBA Finals last season, the clear goal for the Indiana Pacers is the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and the home-court advantage that comes with it. Keep this up, and they will have the best record in the whole league. Paul George scored 24 points and the Pacers improved the NBA’s only undefeated record and the best start in franchise history to 7-0 by beating the Brooklyn Nets 96-91 Saturday night. David West added 18 points and hit the clinching free throws for the Pacers, who won their first six games in 1970-71, when they played in the ABA. They have the longest winning streak to open an NBA season since both the Lakers and New Orleans were 8-0 in 2010-11, according to STATS. “I really don’t get too caught up in the historical value of it, other than we’re ahead of the race,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “We’re trying to get the 1 seed to put ourselves in the position come playoff time with the best chance to come out of the East.”
Roy Hibbert finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Lance Stephenson also scored 15 points. “We executed. That’s the maturity for this team,” George said. “Years ago we would have lost that game. We would have lost this game tonight just on not making shots and not executing and getting guys in spots to be aggressive at. But we’re growing as a team. We’re getting mature and we’re finding ways to win games.” Deron Williams and Joe Johnson each had 17 points for the Nets, who fell to 2-4 and lost at home for the first time this season. Brook Lopez scored 16 and Paul Pierce had 15. “We’re just learning to play together. We didn’t have everybody healthy for training camp and we’re all coming together and trying to win a championship and it doesn’t happen overnight,” said Williams, who added 10 assists but had a costly late turnover and committed what he called a “stupid” foul on George Hill’s 3-point attempt down the stretch. “We’re not panicking, we know

it’s going to come together, we’re confident that we can overcome these little struggles and we’re going to stay together no matter what’s happening on the outside.” Brooklyn trailed by 10 midway through the fourth quarter, but got a 3-pointer from Pierce that bounced on the rim at least four times in a spurt that cut it to 94-91, and they got the ball back after George threw away a pass with 20 seconds left. But Johnson was just long on a 3-point attempt with about 11 seconds to go and West grabbed the rebound and hit both free throws after being fouled. Vogel said the Pacers have made winning the East their priority after they lost Game 7 of the East finals on the road in Miami. The quick start has them well on their way. “We’re just going out, playing the game,” George said. “We feel very prepped for the game. Everybody is dialed in.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — James Conner ran for two short touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 9:36 remaining as Pittsburgh upset No. 24 Notre Dame 28-21 Saturday night. Tom Savage passed for 243 yards and two scores to Devin Street as the Panthers (5-4) took advantage of some sloppy play by the Fighting Irish (7-3) to end Notre Dame’s four-game winning streak. The Irish turned it over three times, including a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions by Tommy Rees. Rees completed 18 of 39 for 318 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off by Pitt’s Ray Vinopal on consecutive passes in the final quarter. TJ Jones caught six passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and ran for another.

slower. I thought they were a quicker team than we were.” Purcell got his fifth goal, from the slot, after a pass from Richard Panik preceded by Kyle Quincey’s turnover behind the Detroit net. “Panik made a great play on the forecheck to pressure him and was able to throw it out in front,” Purcell said. Babcock said: “We had the puck and Q (Quincey) was coming around the net and their guy was quicker and stole it from him.” Zetterberg tied the game with 4:12 left in the third on a slap shot from the right circle for his second of the game and 10th goal of the season. Stamkos gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead with 7:10 left in the second period. He beat Howard with a wrist shot from the right circle. Stamkos’ 14th goal came four seconds after Tampa Bay had killed off 5:24 of consecutive Detroit power-play time with 36 seconds of it a two-man advantage. In all, the Lightning had only been at even strength for 13 seconds of the previous 7:37 when the final penalty ended. “That was probably the turning point,” Purcell said. “... Very difficult to kill six or eight minutes of a power play. And then Stammer gets one shot and scores.” The goal extended Stamkos’ goal streak to six games and his points streak to eight.
DETROIT (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning ended almost 20 years of futility at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday night. Teddy Purcell’s goal at 3:51 of overtime gave Tampa Bay a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings. It was the Lightning’s first win in Detroit since Jan. 12, 1994. They had been 0-10-1 at Joe Louis Arena since then and had an all-time record in Detroit of 1-13-1. “That was in the past. There a new staff, a new team,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. “We need to win games here if we’re going to have any chance of making the playoffs.” The teams are now both in the Eastern Conference’s Atlantic Division. Ryan Malone and Steven Stamkos also scored for Tampa Bay. Ben Bishop stopped 25 shots. “We stayed with it and it’s a good feeling right now,” Stamkos said. Henrik Zetterberg scored both goals for Detroit, which lost its fifth straight at home. Jimmy Howard made 31 saves. “In the end we got ourselves a point in a game we could have come up with nothing. So good for us,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. “What I didn’t like was when we lost our composure, when we gave up chances for no reason. Their speed with our inability to move the puck from the back today made us
Kenseth playing with house money in title race AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Roughly two months into the season, Mark Martin was having a conversation with Matt Kenseth about the fast start to Kenseth’s year. Kenseth had grabbed two wins in his first eight races with Joe Gibbs Racing, and Martin believed his former teammate could have legitimately won all eight of the events. “I expected him to win races and be awesome and be Matt Kenseth, but the start he had, he could have won them all. Bar none. That was staggering,” Martin recalled. “And I remember last year when he was getting ready to leave, he was scared to death. I liked that about him. I liked the fact that he was scared. “So I like what I see right now. He’s living a dream and hitting his full potential, and you don’t always get an opportunity to hit your full potential.” It truly is a dream year for Kenseth, who has won a careerbest seven races after jumping to JGR following 16 years driving for Jack Roush. Now, 10 years after winning the only Cup championship of his career, Kenseth is in the thick of

another title race. He goes into the penultimate race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway trailing Jimmie Johnson by seven points in the standings. It’s not a surprise that Kenseth
is in the championship picture. After all, he finished second to Johnson in 2006 and has made the Chase every year since its 2004 launch except for 2009 — the year he won the season opening Daytona 500 and the next week’s
race at California. What is a surprise is seven wins from a driver who has built a career on consistent finishes. Kenseth’s previous best was five wins in 2002, and he had settled in as a driver content to win a handful of races a year. So if you’d asked him in December, as he climbed into his new No. 20 Toyota for JGR for the first time, if he ever imagined what was to come, there’s no way Kenseth could have known the spoils ahead of him this season. “It would have been hard to believe somebody if they said we would have had seven wins and done some of the things that we did this year in our first year together, because throughout my whole career I’ve never been able to do that,” Kenseth admitted. But part of that may have been because of the ups and downs of the Roush-Fenway Racing organization. Although his JGR team had been through four underachieving seasons with Joey Logano, the No. 20 car won two championships with Tony Stewart and the organization routinely contends for titles with Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin.

Del Rio, Phillips back in head coaching roles
AP
Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips claps during his first team practice since being named interim coach Wednesday, in Houston. Coach Gary Kubiak is out indefinitely after suffering a mini-stroke.
HOUSTON (AP) — Jack Del Rio and Wade Phillips know all about the stress of being head coaches, about the thrills and the disappointments. Both veteran defensive coordinators have been thrust into the top spot again because of illnesses to John Fox in Denver and Gary Kubiak in Houston. Del Rio was appointed interim coach in Denver to replace Fox, who had heart surgery Monday. Del Rio was the head coach of the Jaguars from 2003-11 before joining the Broncos. Phillips is stepping in for Kubiak, who collapsed on the sideline at halftime of last Sunday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts and was hospitalized for what was described as a “mini-stroke.” Phillips was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 2007 until midway through the 2010 season, compiling a 34-22 record. He also was head coach of the
Buffalo Bills from 1998-2000, going 29-19 and leading the team to two playoff appearances. Del Rio will try to keep the Broncos (7-1) winning on Sunday when they visit San Diego, with an AFC West showdown against unbeaten Kansas City coming up a week later. “We believe we have a good football team,” Del Rio said. “We’re on a mission. We’re on a mission to carry on and continue what Coach Fox has going with this football team. We all want to make him proud.” For Phillips, his job is to end the Texans’ six-game losing streak when they travel to Arizona. “It was certainly shocking what happened in the ballgame and the aftermath of that,” Phillips said about Kubiak’s collapse. “We’re certainly glad that he’s getting better. We’ve had kind of an upside-down season. Generally, things haven’t been going our way very well. This was another
example of that.” The Texans players were glad to see Kubiak at practice on Thursday. “To actually see him and hear him talk to us, that means everything,” left tackle Duane Brown said. “You can hear all about somebody doing well … but seeing them out and about and walking around, that means everything to us.” Also on Sunday, it’s Detroit at Chicago, Philadelphia at Green Bay, Jacksonville at Tennessee, Cincinnati at Baltimore, St. Louis at Indianapolis, Seattle at Atlanta, Oakland at the New York Giants, Buffalo at Pittsburgh, Carolina at San Francisco, Denver at San Diego, Houston at Arizona and Dallas at New Orleans. Miami plays at winless Tampa Bay on Monday night. Off this week are Cleveland (4-5), Kansas City (9-0), the New York Jets (5-4) and New England (7-2).
Bears, Lions square off in NFC North showdown LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — For a team that looked like it was ready to be buried, the Chicago Bears suddenly have some life. If they beat Detroit, they’ll really be in a good spot. The Bears host the Lions on Sunday in a matchup between two of the three teams tied for the NFC North lead, hoping to strengthen their position in the division race. “We understand what’s at stake, we understand how special this season is for us and what we’re capable of doing,” Bears receiver Brandon Marshall said. “It doesn’t matter who we’re up against, we’re going to approach it the same.” The Bears are tied with the Lions and Packers at 5-3 after a surprising victory at Green Bay on Monday night. Now, they can make it back-to-back wins against division rivals at a time when it looked like they were falling apart. After all, quarterback Jay Cutler is recovering from a groin injury. Star linebacker Lance Briggs is out with a small fracture in his left shoulder. Yet here are the Bears, somehow looking ready to go after knocking Aaron Rodgers out of the game and taking out the Packers, 27-20. Few would have envisioned that, considering Chicago had dropped three of four and added its two of its most important players to a long injury list. Cutler and Briggs went down in a loss at Washington on Oct. 20, and while Cutler was trying to return this week after sitting out a game, the Bears can take some comfort knowing they have a reliable
backup in Josh McCown. The veteran has completed 59 percent of his passes for 476 yards with a 100.2 rating while filling in and has played turnover-free football. The Lions, on the other hand, are relatively healthy at the moment and on a roll of their own. Wide receiver Nate Burleson still is recovering from an arm injury in a car crash, but Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush are in good shape after missing time. And Detroit is coming off a 31-30 victory over Dallas two weeks ago that was nothing short of remarkable. Matthew Stafford’s 1-yard lunge in the closing seconds gave them the win, but it was Johnson who stole the show. His 329 yards receiving were the secondbest total in league history and the most ever in regulation. With his fifth 200-yard game, he tied Hall of Famer Lance Alworth’s mark. Now, the Lions will try to complete the sweep against the Bears after beating them in September. “It’s wide open,” Bush said. “We still have a chance to do some special things.” Here are five things to watch for as the Lions and Bears try to move ahead of each other in the division: QB DECISION: While the big question in Chicago this week was who will start at quarterback, the Lions’ Ndamukong Suh made one thing clear. He wants Cutler, and it has nothing to do with their history. Or, for that matter, what happened the last time Detroit and Chicago played. Cutler threw three interceptions
and got sacked three times, twice by Suh. Cutler’s had his difficulties with Suh in the past. Suh got fined for a forearm hit on Cutler in 2010. The following year, he ripped the quarterback’s helmet off during a run at Soldier Field. And last season in Chicago, Suh left Cutler writhing with bruised ribs after a sack. “I love playing against Cutler, he’s a tough guy,” Suh said. “No discredit to McCown, but I want the best shot.” MEGATRON, NOT-SOMEGA NUMBERS: While Johnson’s performance against Dallas two weeks ago was one for the record books, it’s been a different story for him against the Bears. He’s had trouble against Charles Tillman and his numbers against Chicago are far from spectacular. Only twice in 12 games against has he hit the 100-yard mark, and he’s averaging about 58 in his last four meetings with them. He did have a touchdown in September, but he finished with just 44 yards in that game. BUSH’S BEST: Not that the Bears really need a reminder, but they’ll have to do a better job against Bush than they did in September. All he did in that game was run for 139 yards and account for 173 in total offense. His 37-yard touchdown run highlighted a 27-point second quarter for Detroit. “In that game it was a combination of run fits and tackling,” Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said. “So we’re going to have to get those things done in order to contain him.”

Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck (12) is pressured by Houston Texans’ J.J. Watt during last Sunday’s game. Indianap-
olis will face the St. Louis Rams this Sunday.
Colts, Rams follow different paths with top quarterbacks INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck delivered on his promise as the NFL’s top draft pick. He took the Colts to the playoffs last season and has them in position to win a division title this year. St. Louis is still waiting for Sam Bradford to produce the same kind of results. What could have been a showdown between the two former No. 1 picks Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium is instead more of an example of why there are no sure bets in the draft. “Nobody missed that guess,” new Rams starter Kellen Clemens said when asked to assess Luck. “I think the biggest thing that stands out when you look at the body of work he’s done is his composure in the fourth quarter. That’s a feather in any quarterback’s cap.” Bradford hasn’t been bad. The 2008 Heisman Trophy winner set NFL rookie records for completions and attempts en route to winning the 2010 offensive rookie of the year award — two awards Luck did not capture. He just
hasn’t been as lucky as the Colts quarterback. Luck landed with a team that already had veteran leadership, a proven Pro Bowl receiver he could lean on, the two top tight ends in the draft and coaching continuity. The result has been a steady progression with Luck improving his touchdown total, trimming his interceptions and continuing to win. Bradford, meanwhile, played for two head coaches and three offensive coordinators in his first three NFL seasons. This season, he was trying to get in sync with a whole new cast — free agent tight end Jared Cook, rookie receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey and rookie running back Zac Stacy — when he tore the ACL in his left knee against in a victory at Houston. Out for the season. At the time, St. Louis was 3-3. Since Clemens took over, the Rams have lost three straight. Meanwhile, Luck has thrived. Last season, he produced the second biggest turnaround in league history and this year the Colts (6-2)

are in control of the division chase. The Colts are not surprised that Luck has lived up to the hype. “He’s definitely got the ‘it’ factor,” coach Chuck Pagano said of his franchise quarterback. “Besides the measurables, height, weight, speed, athleticism, arm talent, intangibles, football IQ, leadership, all those type of things you look for — guys that are poised, in command — some guys have it and some guys don’t. And it’s pretty easy and pretty obvious to see early in a guy’s career.” Here are five more things to watch Sunday: DOUBLE TROUBLE: Now that Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis have been broken up, the most feared pass-rushing tandem in the NFL might be in St. Louis. While Mathis leads the NFL with 11½ sacks, Robert Quinn leads the NFC with 10, Chris Long is in the conference’s top 10 with 5½ and the Rams are tied for third in the NFL with 29 sacks. REPLACING REGGIE: Luck led the Colts to another fourth-quarter comeback last weekend, but it was hardly pretty. In Indy’s first game in 15 years without either Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne on the field, Luck went 18 of 40 and was victimized by enough drops to stall the offense for most of the first three quarters. This week, the Colts need to figure out a more suitable way to replace their most consistent receiver. DELIVERY MEN: Austin and Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton have more in common than their smallish size and the fact that they were brought in to help their franchise quarterbacks. Austin, at 5-foot-8, 176 pounds, is becoming an important part of the Rams offense. He leads all rookies with 31 receptions. Hilton, at 5-9 and 178, led last year’s NFL rookies.

Winston, Manziel look to make Heisman moves NEW YORK (AP) — Jameis Winston had a quiet day while Florida State was putting up another blowout. Johnny Manziel was spectacular and mistake-prone for Texas A&M. The Heisman Trophy contenders both started the stretch drive with victories Saturday in the race that appears up for grabs. Winston threw for 159 yards and two touchdown passes as No. 3 Florida State pounded Wake Forest 59-3. He also threw an interception as the Seminoles’ defense did much of the work with six interceptions in WinstonSalem, N.C. The 11th-ranked Aggies needed every bit of Manziel’s 446 yards passing and five TDs in a 51-41 victory at home against Mississippi State. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota seemed to be the front-runner for the Heisman, but he had an off night as Stanford beat the Ducks on Thursday. Manziel is trying for his second consecutive Heisman and Winston is trying to become the second straight redshirt freshman to win the award. No. 3 Florida State 59, Wake Forest 3 Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes, and Florida State tied a school record with six interceptions as it clinched ACC a championship game berth. Nate Andrews took an interception 56 yards for a touchdown and Jalen Ramsey returned a fumble 23 yards for a score on consecutive plays. The Seminoles (9-0, 7-0) claimed the inside track to a BCS title game berth with No. 2 Oregon’s loss Thursday. They kept firm grasp of it by forcing
seven turnovers and breaking the stadium record of 56 points they set in 1994. Florida State outgained Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5) 296-166 and turned those turnovers into five TDs and a field goal. Winston was 17 of 28 for 159 yards in two-plus quarters with an 18-yard TD to Kelvin Benjamin and a 2-yarder to Chad Abram that made it 42-0 at halftime. No. 11 Texas A&M 51, Mississippi State 41 Johnny Manziel threw for 446 yards and tied a career-high with five touchdown passes to lead Texas A&M to a win in what could be the Heisman Trophy winner’s last home game. The crowd chanted “One more year! One more year!” late in the game for Manziel, who is eligible for the draft after this season. Whether he comes back remains to be seen, but he went into the stands to celebrate with the student section when the game was over. Mississippi State cut the lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but Manziel threw his fifth touchdown pass to make it 44-27 for A&M (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference). The defense grabbed an interception and Ben Malena’s 2-yard TD run extended the lead to 51-27. Dax Prescott threw for 149 yards and two scores and ran for 154 yards for Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4). Malcome Kennedy and Travis Labhart had two touchdown receptions each. Mike Evans had 116 yards receiving to break the school single-season record with 1,263. Manziel set a school career record for total yards with 9,040 and a single-season record with 31

touchdown passes. He became just the second A&M quarterback to run for 2,000 yards in a career and has 3,313 yards passing this year to become the first Aggie with two 3,000-yard passing seasons. No. 7 Auburn 55, Tennessee 23 Nick Marshall gained 214 of Auburn’s 444 yards rushing and the Tigers scored on a punt return and kickoff return against Tennessee. Marshall ran for two touchdowns on just 14 carries and threw for a third score. Tre Mason rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns as Auburn (9-1,
5-1 SEC) earned its sixth straight victory and averaged 8.4 yards per carry. Chris Davis put Auburn ahead for good and broke a 13-13 tie in the second quarter with an 85-yard punt return, Auburn’s longest since 1970 and third-longest ever. Corey Grant returned the secondhalf kickoff 90 yards for another Auburn touchdown. Auburn won while attempting just seven passes all day. The Tigers had thrown just nine passes last week in a 35-17 victory over Arkansas. Rajion Neal rushed for 124
yards and a touchdown for Tennessee (4-6, 1-5), which dropped its third straight. No. 9 Missouri 48, Kentucky 17 Maty Mauk threw five touchdown passes, four to Dorial Green-Beckham, and No. 9 Missouri cruised past Kentucky. Making his fourth consecutive start in place of the injured James Franklin, the Tigers’ redshirt freshman completed 17 of 28 attempts for 203 yards and took full advantage of 6-foot-6 sophomore Green-Beckham, whose TD receptions set a school record. Mauk added a 6-yard scoring pass to Henry Josey, who also rushed for two TDs, including an 86-yarder. Missouri (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) allowed Kentucky (2-7, 0-5) two touchdowns in the third quarter but the Mauk-toGreen-Beckham connection answered both scores with TDs. The victory helped the Tigers stay a half-game ahead of idle South Carolina (5-2) atop the East division heading into their second bye and gave coach Gary Pinkel his fourth nine-win season in 13 years with Missouri. No. 15 Oklahoma State 42, Kansas 6 Clint Chelf completed 19 of 37 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 15 Oklahoma State to a 42-6 victory over Kansas Saturday. Desmond Roland added 44 yards and a touchdown on 16 rushes for the Cowboys (8-1, 5-1 Big 12), who won their fifth straight game. Roland also had a 19-yard reception for a score early in the second quarter that gave OSU a 21-0 lead.
Kyle Busch picks up Nationwide Series win

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Another Nationwide Series race, another Kyle Busch win. Busch picked up his 12th win of the season Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway, leading a race-high 169 laps. Now, a year after he went winless in the Nationwide Series, Busch can match his career best 13-win 2010 season with a victory in next week’s finale at Homestead. “Just looking forward to the rest of this year, there’s only one more left,” said Busch, who has a record 63 victories in the series. “We look forward to going to Homestead, that’s a place we’ve run well in the past in the Nationwide cars. This year we need to lead the most laps and win the race to have a shot at winning the owners’ championship.” Busch’s victory, coupled with Brad Keselowski’s 19th-place finish, sliced Penske Racing’s lead in the race for the owner championship to four points over Joe Gibbs Racing. Keselowski’s day was ruined when contact from Brian Scott sent him spinning into the wall. “Just disappointed
for Roger Penske,” said Keselowski, who will turn the car over to Joey Logano at Homestead. “Some things you can control, some things you can’t. That was just a situation with no control.” Busch took no joy in Keselowski’s trouble. “I hate it that he had trouble when both of us are racing well and racing potentially for a win together,” Busch said. The battle for the more prolific driver championship stayed close, too, as Austin Dillon finished third to maintain his points lead over Sam Hornish Jr. Dillon takes an eight-point lead over Hornish into the finale, but it could have been more if he had not been caught for second place by Justin Allgaier on the final lap. Dillon wasn’t pleased with Allgaier and leaned inside his window for a chat after the race. “They are going to race hard, it’s just in the nature of race car drivers,” Dillon said. “I can’t get too upset. It’s just we’re running for a championship.” Hornish was satisfied with his finish considering how hard his Penske crew worked.
NASCAR: Kenseth is 22nd on NASCAR career wins list FROM PAGE B1
Now with Kenseth in the mix, those who have raced against him since his 2000 Cup rookie season believed anything was possible. “You never know how somebody’s going to transition into a new team,” said four-time champion Jeff Gordon. “You look at that team in past years, they certainly haven’t shown to be a threat for the championship. But I feel like from Matt’s talents and capabilities, while they might have been diminished slightly with his results at Roush, I think that a lot of us within the sport knew just how good he was. “You put him with the right equipment, the right team, the crew chief that he gels with, he can put up some great numbers, and that’s what he’s doing this year.” The 41-year-old Kenseth is probably one of the most underrated drivers by fans in NASCAR.
His win at Darlington this season gave him another NASCAR crown jewel, adding the Southern 500 to a collection that already includes two Daytona 500 wins, a Coca-Cola 600 victory, a Bristol night race and a win in the All-Star race. The only major missing on Kenseth’s resume is the Brickyard, and of the six active tracks where he’s yet to win, the only glaring weakness is that two of the venues are road courses. With 31 victories, he’s 22nd on the career wins list — fifth among active drivers — and 15 Hall of Famers rank ahead of him. “He’s all business and being all business, he doesn’t get as much attention as someone who is colorful,” Martin said. “There are guys that don’t make a lot of noise, that just do their job and get it done, and Matt is one of them. A smart racer, one of the best that has come along in my era.”
Team owner Joe Gibbs said there was a good deal of internal stress after signing Kenseth in making sure the organization could support him. He was paired with crew chief Jason Ratcliff, who had been promoted to the Cup Series only one season earlier with Logano and didn’t have a win at NASCAR’s top level. “You are wondering how are those guys going to fit? A crew chief is so important, chemistry is so important,” Gibbs said. “I think it is a real tribute to Matt and Jason, the way they’ve worked at it, and nobody would have dreamed this could have happened in the first year.” To the point that Kenseth is basically playing with house money right now. Johnson may very well win a sixth championship and Kenseth could end up falling short in this title race to a driver who will go down as one of the best in NASCAR history. But
regardless of how it shakes out Sunday at Phoenix, or after next week’s season finale at Homestead, Kenseth can only look back at 2013 and marvel at what he accomplished. “No matter how it ends up, it’s been a great season, absolutely,” he said. “Before the Chase started, it’s been a great season. After we won the first two (races) of the Chase, I said that no matter what happened in the last seven, it was still going to be a great year. It’s funny how your views and your goals and what you want to accomplish change. It’s kind of a moving target. “If you don’t end up winning the championship, it’s hard to not be just a little bit disappointed when you’re in that spot because you just don’t get that many opportunities to win it. But for sure, no matter how it ends up the next two weeks, it has been an unbelievable year.”

PACERS: Winning division remains a priority for Indiana FROM PAGE B1
Deron Williams and Joe Johnson each had 17 points for the Nets, who fell to 2-4 and lost at home for the first time this season. Brook Lopez scored 16 and Paul Pierce had 15. “We’re just learning to play together. We didn’t have everybody healthy for training camp and we’re all coming together and trying to win a championship and it doesn’t happen overnight,” said Williams, who added 10 assists but had a costly late turnover
and committed what he called a “stupid” foul on George Hill’s 3-point attempt down the stretch. “We’re not panicking, we know it’s going to come together, we’re confident that we can overcome these little struggles and we’re going to stay together no matter what’s happening on the outside.” Vogel said the Pacers have made winning the East their priority after they lost Game 7 of the East finals on the road in Miami.

Canzeri leads Iowa over Purdue Indiana pounds Illinois, 52-35
WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Jordan Canzeri ran for a career-high 165 yards on 20 carries to help the Iowa Hawkeyes defeat the Purdue Boilermakers 38-14 on Saturday afternoon. Canzeri, a sophomore who entered the game with 173 yards rushing all season, also scored a touchdown to help the Hawkeyes become bowl eligible. Jake Rudock passed for 191 yards and two touchdowns for Iowa (6-4, 3-3 Big Ten), which set season highs for total yards (509) and yards rushing (318). Danny Etling completed 15 of 28 passes for 145 yards for Purdue (1-8, 0-5), which has lost seven straight and has not beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision team this year. The Boilermakers have scored 31 points in five Big Ten games, with two of the touchdowns coming in the final minute of play. Early in the second quarter, Rudock found Don Shumpert down the middle of the field for 34 yards to move the Hawkeyes into Purdue territory. Eventually, Canzeri scored from the 2 to give Iowa a 7-0 lead. The touchdown capped a 90-yard drive that included a third-and-1 conversion by Mark Weisman to move the Hawkeyes to the Purdue 2-yard line. Purdue caught its first break in a long time when Iowa’s Kevonte MartinManley fumbled a punt and Purdue’s Armstead Williams recovered at the Iowa 35. Purdue, which had been shut out its previous two games, finally scored in the second quarter. Etling connected with Hunt for a 26-yard screen pass on third-and-6 to set up the Boilermakers at the Iowa 5-yard line. On third down, Etling found Kurt Freytag for a 2-yard touchdown pass. The extra point tied the score with 5:44 left in the second quarter. Martin-Manley made up for his fumble with a 22-yard touchdown catch from Rudock that gave Iowa a 14-7 lead with 1:57 left in the

second quarter. Iowa gained 250 yards in the first half, yet led just 14-7. The Hawkeyes were hampered by bad field position throughout the half. Canzeri had 75 yards on 10 carries before the break. On its second possession of the third quarter, the Boilermakers converted three first downs before Raheem Mostert fumbled and Iowa’s Christian Kirksey recovered at the Iowa 29. The Hawkeyes took advantage when Weisman barreled in from 4 yards out to push their lead to 21-7 with 3:43 left in the third. It was an eight-play, 71-yard drive that included just one pass. The Hawkeyes controlled the game the rest of the way. Minnesota 24, Penn State 10 David Cobb carried 27
times for 139 yards and a touchdown, and Minnesota held Penn State scoreless over the final 33-plus minutes to grind out a 24-10 victory, the fourth in a row for the Golden Gophers. Philip Nelson had 186 yards and a score on 15-for-24 passing, plus one touchdown and 40 yards on the ground for Minnesota (8-2, 4-2), which has won four straight Big Ten games in the same season for the first time since 1973. The Gophers haven’t had this many victories since going 10-3 in 2003. Zach Zwinak scored once and gained a season-high 150 yards on 26 rushes for the Nittany Lions (5-4, 2-3). Allen Robinson had seven receptions for 63 yards, giving him 1,106
yards this year to break Bobby Engram’s 18-yearold program record, but the Gophers minimized his impact. Nebraska 17, Michigan 13 Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw a left-handed, 5-yard shovel pass to Ameer Abdullah for a go-ahead touchdown with 2:03 left and Nebraska’s defense made enough stops to seal a 17-13 win over Michigan. The Cornhuskers (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) kept their chances alive of returning to the conference championship game. Nebraska can move a big step closer to its goal by beating Legends Divisionleading Michigan State next Saturday at home. The Wolverines (6-3, 2-3) dashed hopes of earning a Big Ten title for the first time since 2004 with their first loss in 20 home games under coach Brady Hoke, turning the ball over on downs during their last possession. Michigan went ahead 13-10 on Brendan Gibbons’ 40-yard field goal with 8:08 left after Jordan Westerkamp fumbled on a punt return, then its defense allowed the Cornhuskers to convert a fourth down on a 75-yard, game-winning drive. Wisconsin 27, BYU 17 James White ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for another score, and No. 21 Wisconsin stalled BYU’s fast-paced offense in a 27-17 victory. White finished with 147 yards rushing, while Chris Borland looked just fine coming back from a hamstring injury in flying around the field for 13 tackles and two sacks for the Badgers (7-2). Kyle Van Noy went step-for-step with Borland in a matchup of star linebackers with eight tackles and an interception for BYU (6-3). Taysom Hill threw two touchdown passes to Cody Hoffman, but the dual-treat quarterback was held in check by Wisconsin pressure. White locked up the win with his third score on a 14-yard run with 13:51 left in the fourth for a three-possession lead.
BLOOMINGTON (AP) — As soon as beleaguered Illinois finally caught a break, a huge run by Indiana snatched the momentum right back. The Hoosiers weathered a tense, frenzied second half and used a sizzling offense to pull away for a 52-35 win over the Illini on Saturday, ending a three-game losing streak and extending Illinois’ school-record Big Ten skid to 19 games. “I’m happy for our guys to get a win,� Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. “We talk a lot about bouncing back from adversity. I think it shows a lot of growth for us that we could weather that, settle down and put together some good drives.� Cody Latimer set career highs with 11 catches and 189 yards receiving and hauled in three touchdowns for Indiana (4-5, 2-3 Big Ten). However, much of the Hoosiers’ season-high 650 yards of offense came on the ground, where they gashed Illinois’ consistently problematic run defense for 371 yards and four scores. Tevin Coleman carried 15 times for a career-high 215 yards, the most by a Hoosier in the last 10 seasons. The teams engaged in a back-and-forth shootout until Coleman’s 75-yard run edged Indiana ahead 42-35 with 12:41 remaining. “The development of our run game shows there is some maturity on offense,� Wilson said. “We’re not an overpowering team, but our passing ability sets up the run. That was a huge play for us.� It came one play after Illinois right tackle Corey Lewis, who rushed for 27 touchdowns as a high school senior, tied the game at 35 when he fell on Ferguson’s fumble in the end zone for his first college score. Ferguson, who accounted for 139 yards of offense, lost the ball when attempting to leap over a scrum on second-andgoal.
The Illini couldn’t capitalize. “We are all disappointed,� Illinois coach Tim Beckman said. “We’ve got three opportunities left.� Coleman has been a huge factor for Indiana after beating out Stephen Houston for the starting tailback job in preseason camp. Against the Illini, the sophomore from Tinley, Ill., continued his knack for big plays. He used blocks by pulling guard Jacob Bailey and slot receiver Shane Wynn to zip 64 yards to the end zone on Indiana’s second snap of the day. “We called his two long runs from the sidelines,� Houston said. “He is my little brother. He does what he needs to do. I am proud of him.� Coleman came in leading the Football Bowl Subdivision with six rushes of at least 40 yards and upped that total to eight. Illinois (3-6, 0-5) received a valiant effort from quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who completed 38 of 57 passes for 450 yards and two touchdowns while adding 45 yards and a score on the ground. Receiver Steve Hull exploded for 224 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions. Illinois entered the game with the 70th-ranked offense, averaging 402 yards. By the break, the Illini had gained 288. They finished with 612 yards, but a struggling defense cost them a chance to break through for their first Big Ten victory since Oct. 8, 2011, which came at Indiana. The Illini were never the same after Coleman’s crowd-thrilling burst. On their ensuing possession, linebacker Steven Funderburk came unblocked on a third-and-10 blitz to force an incompletion. Then Beckman dialed up a fake punt that flopped on fourth down. Punter Justin DuVernois threw low and well short of the marker.
Federer advances to face Nadal No. 11 Buckeyes top Morgan LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer fought back Saturday to reach the semifinals in the ATP World Tour Finals. On the back of a poor season, the 17-time Grand Slam winner overcame a 3-0 deficit in the third set to beat Juan Martin del Potro 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-5 to reach the semifinals for the 11th time. The Swiss earned a chance to prove that — despite his aging legs, aching back and recent lack of consistency — he can still beat rival Rafael Nadal, his semifinal opponent. “I just have to have the right mindset to give it one last go, maybe play with a little less pressure than I have in previous matches with him,� Federer said. “I just feel like I need to look at it more as being an underdog a little
bit because of circumstances, because of my year, because of his year. Maybe that free swinging is what I kind of need to do a little bit more tomorrow.� The 32-year-old Federer has endured a tough year and the elite event is his last chance to win a big title in 2013. Federer has just four victories against top-10 opponents in 2013 and has not beaten Nadal since 2012. The top-ranked Spaniard leads 21-10 in their head-to-head series, but Federer is 4-0 on indoor hard courts, having secured all four wins at the ATP Finals. Nadal, who returned to tennis in February following a seven-month layoff due to a knee injury, clinched the year-end No. 1 spot this week
in a season in which he won the French Open and the U.S. Open. In London, the Spaniard qualified from his group unbeaten. “We know each other that well. He’s going to do exactly what he needs to do, I’m going to try to do what I need to do,� Federer said. “Hopefully it’s going to match up good for me. If not, he deserves it. He’s had a wonderful season.� Novak Djokovic, who beat Richard Gasquet 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-3 in his final round-robin match to extend his winning streak to 20 matches since his loss to Nadal in the U.S. Open final in September, will face Stanislas Wawrinka in the other semifinal. Federer won only the grass-court event at Halle, Germany, in June.

State in team’s home opener COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Shannon Scott scored a career-high 16 points and LaQuinton Ross, also starting for the first time as a junior, had 14 points and a personal-best 11 rebounds to lead No. 11 Ohio State past Morgan State 89-50 on Saturday. Lenzelle Smith Jr. led the way with 18 points and spurred a first-half spurt for the Buckeyes, who improved to 93-18 in home openers and 89-22 in season debuts. Much of the drama vanished early after Ohio State scored the first eight points and built a 26-point halftime lead. Justin Black had 13 points, Ian Chiles 12 and Anthony Hubbard 11 for Morgan State, which was meeting the Buckeyes for the first time. Sam Thompson added 14 points and freshman Marc Loving had 10 for Ohio State. Scott had seven assists to go with his 16 points, while Ross registered his first career double-double. The Buckeyes are coming off a 29-8 season in which they tied for second in the Big Ten with a 13-5 record. Coach Thad Matta tipped off his 10th season with the program. He is 251-73 at Ohio State, including a 111-45 record in the conference. His teams have won five Big Ten regular-season championships (2007, ‘10, ‘11, ‘12) and four conference tournament titles (2007, ‘10, ‘11, ‘13). He has a career mark of 353-104 starting his 14th season as a head coach, including stops at Butler, his alma mater, and Xavier. Ohio State returns four starters: Amir Williams, Aaron Craft, Smith and Thompson. Ross, who blossomed in the NCAA

No. 3 Louisville 70, Coll. of Charleston 48 No. 3 Louisville outscored College of Charleston 22-3 over the final 6:41 to pull away to a 70-48 victory in the first game of its national championship defense. Preseason All-America Russ Smith led Louisville with 21 points and five assists. His new backcourtmate Chris Jones, last season’s junior college player of the year, added 12 points and five assists. Louisville raised its third
national championship banner to the rafters before the game. No. 15 Gonzaga 100, Bryant 76 Sam Dower had 21 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to lead No. 15 Gonzaga past Bryant 100-76 in the season opener for both teams. The 6-foot-9 senior, making his eighth start for the Bulldogs, shot 8 of 13 from the field and posted his second career double-double.

SPORTS BRIEFS • No. 6 Notre Dame beats NC Wilmington SOUTH BEND (AP) — Jewell Loyd and Michaela Mabrey scored 19 points each Saturday to lead No. 6 Notre Dame to a 99-50 victory over UNC Wilmington in the season opener for both teams. Despite playing without injured senior forward Natalie Achonwa, Notre Dame dominated the boards, outrebounding UNCW 52-24. Freshman forward Taya Reimer led with 12 rebounds, followed by Loyd with 11. Notre Dame senior guard Kayla McBride scored 17 points. Junior guard Kelva Atkins, the Seahawks’ lone returning starter from last season, scored 16 points. Notre Dame scored with ease in the paint. Their transition game and repeated drives to the hoop were simply too much for UNC Wilmington to handle. The Irish led 51-22 at halftime. Consecutive layups by Loyd and freshman Lindsay Allen sparked a 12-0 run over a 4:30 span in the second half that removed any doubt.
EMU says fired coach used ‘inappropriate language’ YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Eastern Michigan athletic director Heather Lyke says fired football coach Ron English used “wholly inappropriate language” while addressing the team. EMU announced English’s dismissal Friday. On Saturday, the school released a statement from Lyke saying she’d received a tape of English addressing the team. She called his statements “absolutely unacceptable.” Lyke says the tape was only one of “a lot of factors” that led to her decision to change coaches. The Eagles were 1-8 when English was fired. English went 11-46 at the Mid-American Conference school.
UConn opens with win HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Moriah Jefferson scored a career-high 17 points and top-ranked Connecticut began the defense of its eighth national title with an 89-34 rout of in-state rival Hartford on Saturday. The sophomore guard, who also had five assists, led a balanced offensive that saw four players reach double figures. Center Stefanie Dolson had 16 points and six rebounds. Breanna Stewart added 14 points and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis chipped in 12 for the Huskies. Freshman Deanna Mayza led Hartford with eight points. The competition gets much stiffer very quickly for UConn, which hosts No. 3 Stanford on Monday and has road games against No. 8 Maryland and No. 13 Penn State in the next eight days.
Ichinose in 3-way tie for lead at Mizuno Classic SHIMA, Japan (AP) — Yuki Ichinose of Japan shot a 6-under 66 to finish in a three-way tie for the lead after the second round of the Mizuno Classic on Saturday. Ichinose carded seven birdies against a lone bogey at Kintetsu Kashikojima to finish at 8-under 136 with compatriots Mamiko Higa, who also shot a 66, and overnight leader Shiho Oyama (68). American Brittany Lincicome shot a 68 and is one stroke off the pace with Japan’s Ayako Fujimoto (67). Defending champion Stacy Lewis, who erased a seven-stroke deficit last year, shot a 68 and is tied for 10th at 139. The American is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 3. South Korean star Inbee Park, who leads the money list and player of the year rankings, is sitting out the tournament. Taiwan native Teresa Lu, Japan’s Junko Omote and South Korean golfers Chella Choi and Eun-Bi Jang are tied for sixth place at 6 under.
Adam Scott leads Australian PGA GOLD COAST, Australia (AP) — Adam Scott shot an even-par 71 on Saturday at wind-swept Royal Pines to open a three-stroke lead in the Australian PGA. The tournament is the first of four straight in Australia for Scott, playing at home for the first time since winning the Masters. He had a 10-under 203 total. American Rickie Fowler and Australian David McKenzie were tied for second. Fowler had a 71, and will play alongside Scott in the final twosome Sunday. McKenzie shot 72. Australian Marc Leishman shot 68 and was in a group tied for sixth, five strokes behind.
Rinker holds top spot in Legends Tour Open PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — Laurie Rinker had two back-nine eagles and finished with a 6-under 67 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead after the first round of the Legends Tour Open. Rinker had a 9-foot eagle putt on the par-5 10th and a 20-footer on the par-5 15th. “Two eagles in one day is pretty exciting,” Rinker said. “The two eagles were the difference in getting it a little lower on the scoreboard. I think that’s a first in my career.” Trish Johnson, Lorie Kane and Nancy Scranton were tied for second at 70 in the season-ending event on Innisbrook Resort’s Island Course.

by August both the U.S. and the state were still about 12.7 percent behind their respective peaks. This leaves us nationally and in the state with seven workers where we had eight producing transportation equipment in 2007. By and large, these were good-paying jobs, often union jobs with strong benefit packages. Where does the U.S. economy need help? If you believe we should recover to where we were, then manufacturing deserves our attention. Our manufacturing job deficits, nationally and in Indiana, exceed our total nonfarm job deficits. The recovery is most successful in the nonmanufacturing sectors. Yet, one must ask: “Why should the old (2007) proportions of jobs persist?” Six years of much trauma have gone by. Is it reasonable to expect jobs in manufacturing and transportation equipment to resume their former places of importance? If not, is Indiana going in the wrong direction while the nation is going in a new direction? MORTON J.

Ground broken for NAPA store BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — Jenkins Automotive Inc. broke ground Wednesday for a new location of its NAPA Auto Parts store. The 6,000-square-foot store will be built on 1.4 acres at 501 W. North St. When completed in May, weather permitting, the new store will replace NAPA’s current
location at 960 Harlash St. Jenkins Automotive president Rick Jenkins said his company took over the local auto parts store in September 2012. The larger location is more customer-friendly, accessible and visible along U.S. 6. “We are excited to build a new facility in Kendallville. This community has been remarkable in the past 12

months. We hope to attract more retail business at this location,” he said. The new store will have five employees and possibly more. It offers strictly retail auto parts, no vehicle repair, said Jenkins, who owns several NAPA stores in Marshall and Kosciusko counties. DJ Construction Co. is the general contractor.
Mutual funds go from worst to first BY STAN CHOE AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Want to know which mutual funds are topping the performance charts this year? Check the ones that struggled last year. Consider the fund that’s leading all others. The Firsthand Alternative Energy fund (ALTEX) has nearly doubled this year, up 93 percent. The big jump, though, comes only after several rough years for the fund. Investors who bought it three years ago still haven’t made back all of their earlier losses, according to data from Morningstar. The sharp flip in performance is another example of how quickly fortunes can turn for mutual funds that focus on narrow segments of the market,

whether it’s alternative-energy companies, Indian stocks or gold miners. Such funds offer the possibility of greater rewards, but they come at the price of potentially higher risk and expenses. Investors who want to concentrate on a particular part of the market are generally advised to do so as part of a larger, diversified portfolio. “The more narrowly focused a fund is, the greater the level of volatility there tends to be in its returns,” says Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual fund research at S&P Capital IQ. “This year’s winners are often next year’s losers, and sometimes last year’s losers are this year’s winners.” The big turnaround in performance for the Firsthand Alternative

Energy fund wasn’t the result of an overhaul of its philosophy or process, says Portfolio Manager Kevin Landis. Many of the stocks that the fund owns were also in the fund last year, such as Power Integrations (POWI), a California company that makes chips used to convert high-voltage power. The reversal is due more to changing sentiment toward the alternative-energy industry. “It’s funny, we almost couldn’t have picked a worse time to start an alternative energy fund,” Landis says. It started in late 2007, and it lost money in four of the ensuing five years as the global recession sapped markets and a glut of supply in solar equipment depressed prices. The fund lost 48 percent in 2008, its first full year.

Dexter Axle achieves ISO 9001:2008 certification ELKHART — Dexter Axle, the leading manufacturer of trailer axles and trailer brakes for over 50 years, announced that it has successfully completed the ISO 9001:2008 certification process. All of the audits were completed without a single nonconformity, which is a very unusual accomplishment. “Passing the inspection with zero nonconformities speaks very positively to our business processes and
our continuing dedication to customer satisfaction,” said Adam Dexter, president and CEO of Dexter Axle. “This certification is a reflection of the effectiveness and maturity of the Dexter Axle Quality System,” stated Carlos Robles, Director of Quality for Dexter Axle. “Our success is contingent upon our demonstrating continual improvement in all areas of our operation as well as our overriding concern for customer satisfaction.”

Dexter has used the ISO 9001 Quality System Standard as a framework for their quality system for more than 15 years. Passing the audit gave them verification that they were meeting or exceeding this worldwide quality standard to give their customers repeatable quality products that will enhance the safe operation of their trailers. The audits and certification included Dexter locations in Albion and Fremont.

Kingsbury Gallery
Area Activities •
The Kingsbury Gallery was renovated to the original glory of Kingsbury House, a hotel in 1864 that served the growing community of Howe. In 1920, the hotel was mentioned in “The Official Hotel Red Book and Directory,” listing hotels in the U.S. and Canada. The population of Howe at the time was 700. The proprietor was Claude Dewey Kingsbury. Today, the population in Howe is 807.
Today 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL 2 p.m. Pushed to their boiling points, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. They conspire to take control of their company and learn that when working together there’s nothing they can’t do — even in a man’s world. Civic Theatre, 303 East Main St., Fort Wayne.

KINGSBURY GALLERY
One-of-a-kind in LaGrange County BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com
HOWE — In 1864, the Kingsbury House served travelers in the growing community of Howe. Today, the renovated hotel serves the art community, offering unique gifts of pottery, fused glass and paintings. Linda Chase, a gallery director and former corporate art purchaser from California, visited her sister in Howe and fell in love with the town. She loved the people, the place and the small-town feel. Chase sold art at Laguna Beach and worked in Bend, Ore., where the population ballooned from 20,000 to 90,000. The Midwest was a new experience for her. “I really like this old town. It’s just so quaint,” Chase said. “You know the bankers and the mailman.” After the move to Howe, she met Richard and Karen Frischkorn, who were in the process of renovating the Kingsbury Plaza in the downtown block. Richard Frischkorn’s vision was to save the downtown structures from becoming obsolete. He also had a love of art, — photographing nature. Chase decided she wanted to open a gallery, focusing on local artists. The Kingsbury Gallery opened in 2008, amid the recession. At the time, Chase liked to call it the “wow” gallery. “When guests walked in the front door, they said, ‘Wow!’ We were the only thing like this around,” Chase said. The gallery is one-of-a-kind in LaGrange County, providing art from $25 to $2,500. Items vary from watercolor paintings, fused glass, pottery, wood clocks, vases and photography to jewelry and folk art. SEE GALLERY, PAGE C2
Top photo, inside the Kingsbury Gallery, more than 30 artists from Indiana and Michigan display paintings, pottery and fused glass. Some artists also come from Wisconsin and Ohio. Above, Linda Chase started her career in operating art galleries in California. She visited Howe to see her sister and fell in love with the town. The gallery, now in its fourth year, in 2012 added The Studio, a pottery studio in the old hotel’s carriage house. Left, the bestselling pieces at the gallery are pottery and fused glass, according to Linda Chase, the gallery director. Chase said she also sells many fish pieces because of the high traffic of lake customers.

KINGSBURY GALLERY Richard and Karen Frischkorn renovated the Kingsbury Place in downtown Howe. The project was completed in 2008. Frischkorn hopes to add a pub on the north end of the plaza where an old hardware store once stood.
The pottery studio at the Kingsbury Gallery is a part of the Indiana Barn Quilt Tour. One of the artists at the gallery painted the quilt. The studio has two resident potters who teach pottery classes in The Studio.

John Platt of Auburn made pottery pieces specifically for the Johnny Appleseed Festival in Fort Wayne. He sells many pottery pieces at the Kingsbury Gallery.
Pat Delagrange, an artist from Auburn, has several paintings in the gallery. A man from Noble County also makes wooden clocks. Linda Chase, the gallery
director, said she wants to keep the gallery as local as possible. Many of the artists are from within a one-hour range.
GALLERY: Chase has more than 30 artists who sell pieces on consignment in the Kingsbury Gallery FROM PAGE A1
Frischkorn said Kingsbury Gallery is different from what a person would find in Shipshewana, the main tourist attraction for LaGrange County. His goal was never to duplicate what Shipshewana offered. He wanted to build something different in Howe. Chase said the clientele at the gallery is varied. “We get people from all over,” she said. A large number of visitors come from area lakes. Word-of-mouth, though, is the biggest hit for her. “People bring their relatives and friends.”
The artists To find artists, Chase visited art fairs in 2008. Now, artists come to her or people recommend potential
Travel
clients. “I have such incredible artists,” she said. Most are from within a one-hour radius of the gallery, but some come from Ohio and Michigan. Hal Schafer of Rome City makes wooden clocks and lamps, and Mary Theil of Garrett primarily provides watercolor and clay pieces. Chase has more than 30 artists who sell pieces on consignment. Some can have several pieces at the gallery, while others may only have one or two pieces. The majority of the artists come from LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and DeKalb counties, as well as southwest Michigan. In 2012, the gallery added a pottery studio in the hotel’s old carriage house. Chase said the carriage house was used to store horses and the livery.
“We believe in the town. We believe in the future of the country.” Dick Frischkorn Owner of the Kingsbury Place in Howe
• The studio’s two resident potters, Tom Sherbondy and Janie Larimore, teach pottery classes. Chase found pottery equipment online from an Indianapolis studio that was going out of business and thought it was time to add a studio. She purchased five kilns and six wheels. “Pottery is our biggest seller,” she said. The gallery also offers watercolor and acrylic painting classes, fused glass classes and basket weaving.
Vision for Howe “Dick Frischkorn is the visionary. He’s the reason for all this,” Chase said, sitting in Frischkorn’s tax management office. The two share space in the old Kingsbury Hotel. When Frischkorn and his wife moved his tax preparation business to the Howe area, he bought the old hotel for office space. He also bought the other buildings on the plaza. “They were in disrepair and I didn’t
t like Royalty s o m l A
want them to fall apart,” Frischkorn said. “You have to decide if you want to fix it or not,” he said. “I liked the idea and I could afford it.” He worked on the project in small steps, paying as he had the funds. Why did Frischkorn want to preserve the aging downtown block? “If we didn’t do it, what would have happened to Howe?” Frischkorn asked. He believes the community would have been poorer. “We want it to be a richer place,” he said. After opening up the gallery during the recession, Frischkorn wanted to send a message of hope. “We believe in the town. We believe in the future of the country,” he said. “We are trying to get prepared for the next 100 years,” Frischkorn said. The art gallery is the
only occupied building on the plaza, but Frischkorn is working to change that. The building on the north end of the plaza, where the hardware store used to be, is being renovated to hold a pub. Frischkorn has the idea, just not the proprietor. He’d like to open a pub with a hardware theme and serve beer and wine. Chase thinks its a good complement to the art gallery. “It’s a perfect place. Every area needs a meeting place,” she said. Frischkorn said he is open to ideas for the unoccupied buildings. Eventually, he would like would have a bed and breakfast, though he has to wait for approval and licensing. He said he works from the ideal to the real. “You get more results from working with dreams,” he said.

Church youth donate a hefty ‘tab’ to charity 149 pounds of pop tabs aid Ronald McDonald House BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
WOLF LAKE — It’s a little congregation that meets in several buildings along U.S. 33 in Wolf Lake, but the youth of Living Waters Lutheran Church raised some big support for a Fort Wayne charity aiding ailing children.
In fact, the youth’s effort in support of the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Wayne was so big they had to get help lifting and transporting it. It was, after all, 149 pounds of pop tabs from cans. “This contribution of 149 pounds was very significant,” said Meredith Hoffman of the
Whitley County Engineer’s office. The engineer’s office collects pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House under the auspices of the Whitley County Commissioners. The county collected 1 million pop tabs in 2000 for the Ronald McDonald House in Indianapolis. Since then, the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Wayne has opened, and the county is collecting tabs for it, Hoffman said. The Fort Wayne Ronald
McDonald House serves all of northeast Indiana, including Noble and Whitley counties, Hoffman said. Living Waters is located in Noble County near the Whitley County line. “Ronald McDonald House of Indiana says it takes about 1,000 pounds to make a million tabs. With the Living Waters donation, we are at about 64 percent,” said Dan Weigold, Whitley County GIS director. The charity recycles the
tabs, and also can sort out pull tabs from other kinds of cans for recycling, Hoffman said. Hoffman said part of what was special about the Living Waters donation is that it was children helping children and their families. “The donations were driven by kids. It was a kids’ project up at Living Waters,” Hoffman said. Typically, most people bring their tabs in small containers such as plastic bags into the engineer’s office to
drop them off, Hoffman said. Because of the donation’s sheer size, people from the engineer’s office came to the church to collect all 149 pounds. People are encouraged to bring in a donation of tabs no matter how large or small, Hoffman said. “We’re very thankful to Living Waters for its huge donation,” Hoffman said, adding, “It’s very cool on their part to help us pick up the tabs.”
Talk to discuss overcoming violence with faith FORT WAYNE — “Overcoming Violence Through Love,” a free talk on finding ways to heal violence in our families and community, will be offered Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Allen County Public Library, 900 Library Plaza, Fort Wayne. “Acts of violence are preventable through dialogue and prayer,” said Maryl Walters, a lecturer and practitioner of Christian Science healing who will lead the talk. “The love of God brings peace
to ourselves and to our communities.” Among topics of discussion will be how the power of love can diminish crime, bullying, and gang Walters activity; exploring ideas for bringing safety and security to your community; learning how the power of love can heal crises of
all kinds in your life; and hearing stories of how acts of violence are preventable through prayer. Walters has been a spiritual healer, teacher and interfaith advocate for more than 35 years, a press release said. She helps people find solutions to their own and world problems through the practical Christianity found in the classic book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy. The event will be in the library’s Meeting Room A.
Fruit of the Spirit for all ages I’ve been having so much fun teaching the fruit of the Spirit in my Sunday school class. My class is mostly boisterous boys 9 years old and up. When I have to crack down, I’ll say, “Oh man, which fruit of the Spirit just flew out the window? See why your parents have such a challenge following the Bible.” Yes, in every Sunday school class across America you will see apples, oranges, bananas, pears, and pineapples taped all over the walls with the words from the Apostle Paul in Galatians 5:22. He said, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” The Apostle Paul had the 1-800 number straight to the Holy Spirit, so those really must be the qualities God expects us to display in our everyday lives, all the time. Then I was thinking about the qualities that also exist in our everyday lives motivated by this world. I thought about a huge one, peer pressure. My pastor was talking about this the other evening. Then there
is pride, ego, intellectualism, paranoia, jealousy, insecurity, mental illness, and addiction. Those are surely the destroyers of the Spirit. It’s interesting, I don’t really remember too many sermons on the fruit of the Spirit. I’m sure there must have been some and in my opinion that one be GUEST should preached COLUMN over and over again, like it is Debby Owen in Sunday school. We all know who displayed all of those qualities in his life: Jesus. Our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ modeled all of those qualities for us most all of the time. I was wondering why the Apostle Paul didn’t include humility in that group too. Maybe that’s because it came later when James, Jesus’ brother said, “Let him show deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” (To me wisdom
•
can also mean spiritual maturity.) The workplace can be so challenging to our Spirit. Quite awhile ago my childhood friend was talking to me about the demeanor of his boss, and I said, “Why don’t you hang a poster of the fruit of the Spirit behind your desk?” He laughed and said, “Do you want me to lose my job?” He worked for a ministry. How sad to have multiple degrees, but somehow never really grasp the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit isn’t just for children. It’s for adults too. If we say that we can’t function in our jobs in this world performing with the qualities of the fruit of the Spirit, I say we don’t know our Heavenly Father very well. If he tells us to model those qualities, it’s because he is ready, willing and able to get us successfully through everyday functioning under the fruit of the Spirit. (Philippians 4:13) All glory to God!

And they call this studio Moriah LOS ANGELES (AP) — One Hollywood film studio has commanded only A-list talent since its inception — Elizabeth Taylor, Morgan Freeman, Sandra Bullock, Michael Douglas, Nicole Kidman — and they all worked for free. What kind of studio head has such pull? It’s Rabbi Marvin Hier, the mini-mogul of Moriah Films, the movie division of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Founded by Hier in 1981, Moriah Films has won two Academy Awards for its historical documentaries. Its latest effort, “The Prime Ministers: The Pioneers,” featuring the voices of Bullock and Christopher Waltz, opened Wednesday in Los Angeles and expands to more cities next month. “We just finished our 13th film, and every top name in Hollywood that has recorded — and it’s an A list — has done it as a public service,” Hier said during an interview at his office at the Wiesenthal Center. “We’ve never paid
any one of them. That was a tradition set (early on) and it was quite remarkable.” It all started with Elizabeth Taylor. Hier established Moriah Films just a few years after opening the Wiesenthal Center in 1977. He was planning a slide show about the Holocaust when Fay Kanin, then president of the film academy, suggested he consider making a movie instead. U.S. Senator John Warner was involved with the Wiesenthal Center at the time — and was married to Taylor — so she became the narrator of its inaugural film “Genocide,” which won the Oscar for documentary feature. The dozen movies Moriah Films made since have attracted such stars as Kevin Costner, Whoopi Goldberg, Brooke Shields, Dustin Hoffman and Ben Kingsley. “I think they understand the Simon Wiesenthal Center is an organization dedicated to perpetuating the memory of the Holocaust
and also to fighting anti-Semitism and the campaigns in the world to discredit Israel, so they want to help in that manner,” Hier said. “And I think it helps them that they’re following a long tradition of what some of the greatest names in the entertainment community have done.” The Wiesenthal Center, a human-rights organization that provides Holocaust education and fights anti-Semitism, began its deep ties to Hollywood when Frank Sinatra and Taylor were on the original board of directors and made introductions throughout the entertainment industry.
Today’s KPC
Today, movie moguls Jeffrey Katzenberg and Ron Meyer link the Wiesenthal Center to the Hollywood community. Hier said it’s important for the Wiesenthal Center to put Jewish history on film to reach worldwide audiences for years to come. “We’ve been very lucky with all the celebrities, but the reason why the rabbi started this and saw the value of film early on wasn’t to meet celebrities,” said Richard Trank, who has directed nine Moriah movies. “We wanted to have a reach to all walks of life: young and old, Jews and non-Jews.”

Value of variable annuity deserves to be monitored
DEAR BRUCE: My wife is 60 years old, and I am 59. In addition to $300,000 in other investments, she has around $200,000 in a variable annuity, which went way down in 2008, but has since recovered. With the Dow at 15,000, I am pleading with her to get out of it and simply park it for the time being. She just resigned today from her job at the hospital. She will have to pay COBRA for a while until a new position comes along. She doesn’t take my advice, but maybe she will take yours. I used to listen to you on WMCA. — N.N., via email DEAR N.N.: As a former listener on WMCA, which takes us back over 30 years, you and I have been together for a long time. Whether your wife will listen to me is another question. Since the variable annuity has been around for quite some time — you mentioned it went down in 2008, which means it has been around for five years or more — the likelihood is that you can get out without any type of penalty. If you are nervous about the value changing a substantial part of your investment portfolio, I have no quarrel with keeping an eye on it as long as it’s doing well. The moment it starts to sink, you should consider getting out or deciding at what point you will. You didn’t indicate what your wife does at the hospital, but the likelihood is that she will be able to find some reasonable employment. You guys are in pretty good shape with $500,000 in investments. DEAR BRUCE: Following my uncle’s death, two war bonds came into my possession. They are valued at $10 each, dated August and October 1945. Do they have any value beyond the face amount? Both are series E and were issued by the war department. The instructions on the backs of the bonds are faded. — V.S., via email DEAR V.S.: One thing is certain: Those war bonds stopped earning interest many decades ago. Whether they have any value depends on a couple of things. It may very well be that the bonds were reported lost, stolen, destroyed or replaced and cashed in years ago. The easiest thing to do is check with your bank. Even though banks are not handling bonds anymore, sometimes, if you are a decent customer, they will make inquiries for you. The value can be easily ascertained since the records are kept permanently. You say they are $10. I thought the minimum war bond issued was $18.75, but I could be mistaken. It should be fun to trace this down. You can also go on the Internet and find instructions as to how to make inquires about the bonds’ value. If nothing else, they will make an interesting wall hanging. Send your questions to: Smart Money, P.O. Box 2095, Elfers, FL 34680. Email to: bruce@brucewilliams.com.

Daughter Susan shares dinner roll recipe It’s Wednesday evening and it has really warmed up. Temperature is in the 60s. I am finally having my garage sale on Friday and Saturday. Every time I wanted to have it all summer something else more important came up. Daughter Susan wrote the column for me today while I went to a quilting. I was surprised and relieved that I didn’t have to squeeze that in yet. I would also like to mention that I had a visit from cousin Fern and her daughter, Tricia, recently. Was nice visiting with them. Dear readers: Hi, how are you all doing? This is Susan. Mom is pretty busy this week so I decided to surprise her and write the column for her. She is a great mother! This week has pretty much been spent getting ready for a garage sale. I was sorting through our books to see which ones we want to sell. I kept all the books that had facts about horses. I love reading those and learning new things about horses. My dream is to one day write a book. I have all kinds of short stories I have written. My favorite authors are Karen Kingsbury and Linda Byler. I just started reading
Linda Byler’s books. She is an Amish author. Other books written by non-Amish authors just don’t get all the facts of Amish life right. THE mySunday AMISH boyfriend COOK Mose’s parents had church Lovina Eicher services at their house. They live 21 miles from here so I went to their house Saturday night. Brother Benjamin and sister Loretta went with me. Benjamin is friends with Mose’s brother, Freeman, and Loretta with his sister, Linda. Mose and I went over to his sister, Hannah’s, house on Saturday night. They have two little boys and an 8-month-old girl. She is such a sweetie! Dad and Joseph went hunting tonight. One of the calves decided to slip out of the calf pen. We had quite a chase to get it back in. Elizabeth, Verena, Benjamin, Kevin, Mom and I were all
•
trying to round it back into the pen. I imagine we looked kind of funny as that calf seemed to slip between two of us every time. We made sure Benjamin wired the cattle panel shut where it squeezed out. Little Prancer is growing fast. He is a cutie. He is getting fat, though, so I try to exercise him. I love that little pony! I have taught him some tricks but it takes a lot of patience. We are glad to have Prancer’s mother Minnie back here for keeps. Mose has been spending a lot of time hunting. He wants me to go deer hunting with him one day. I told him I’ll go if I can take a book along to read. He said if I do, I have to turn the pages really quietly. I like giving him a hard time. Last year when I went hunting with him my feet were so cold so he gave me some heat packs to put in my boots. Those helped a lot. We plan to bake some bread, rolls, etc. to sell at the garage sale. Tomorrow will be a busy day doing that and organizing everything. We also need to do laundry. Sunday Mose and I plan to go to another church district as his friend Chris will start following instructions for baptism.

Marital infidelity is unfit topic for holiday DEAR ABBY: My brother-in-law cheated on my sister two years ago. He was caught by the private eye his lover’s husband had hired. My sister took him back and has been trying to be “the good wife,” but he has never really seemed to be sorry or a changed man. My problem is I can’t stand him. When we get together as a family, I know I’m supposed to be civil and respectful, but I ask myself, “Why?” I love my sister and the children. The holidays are

coming. I’d like to ask him if he’s faithful now, but if I did, I know he’d only lie. Can you offer me some advice? — HOLDING A GRUDGE IN ST. CLOUD, MINN. DEAR HOLDING A GRUDGE: Yes. For the sake of your sister and the children, please resist the urge to make things more difficult by confronting your brother-in-law. Asking him about his fidelity status would embarrass him and possibly terminate their participation in any visit. Because your sister is trying to make her marriage work in spite of the hurt her husband has caused, the kindest thing you could do for her and the children would be to make the reconciliation as easy as possible. Tempting as it may be, please don’t stir the pot. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 10-year-old girl whose family is divided. My dad brought me up, and I love him. However, my aunt hates him. I don’t really know why. Dad tells me she helped my mom argue with him. My aunt is nice to me. They rarely talk to each other anymore. I don’t know which side to take. I don’t want to take sides and I don’t plan to. My mother died a few years back and my dad took custody. I want to stay neutral, but I don’t know who to trust. — IN THE MIDDLE IN MISSOURI DEAR IN THE
MIDDLE: Not knowing your father or your aunt, I can’t decide this for you. I will point out, however, that when a couple is having a disagreement, it rarely helps DEAR if other ABBY family members get involved. Jeanne Phillips What happens then is the person with less support feels ganged up on and becomes defensive. If your aunt makes you feel torn between her and your dad, then what she’s doing is wrong. It’s OK to love both of them. While I agree that you should remain neutral, your father is the person who is raising you, and he deserves your love and loyalty unless he proves he cannot be trusted.

DEAR ABBY: My beautiful wife and I were a team for many years. She was the brains and I was the brawn. She took care of business matters, taxes and household duties. I did the repairs, vehicle upkeep and took care of the lawn and our garden. She was a computer whiz, while I remained computer
illiterate. As we advanced in age, I made preparations for my demise. I had everything perfectly planned. Then the unexpected happened. My wife died suddenly. I was devastated. Then I realized I was also totally lost. She had gone completely paperless. I had no knowledge of anything. Some things were filed in the computer and others in the filing cabinet. I didn’t know her email address, any account numbers and no passwords. All business transactions stopped completely, and my credit rating plummeted. It has been a year since her death and I’m still trying to get everything corrected. Please remind your readers that the word “assume” can be a real meanie. — SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS DEAR SOMEWHERE: What a sobering letter. Usually the surviving spouse is the wife who was left in the dark. I’m glad you wrote, and I hope your letter will be a wake-up call to couples about sharing information. 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.

Many health woes in teens seeking obesity surgery CHICAGO (AP) — U.S. teens seeking weight-loss surgery have a startling number of health problems that used to be seen only in adults, according to a major government-funded study. Half the teens had at least four major illnesses linked with their excess weight. Three out of four had cholesterol problems; almost half had high blood pressure or joint pain; and many had diseased livers or kidneys. These kids weighed three times more than what is considered healthy, they weren’t just teens “who want to fit into that cheerleading outfit better,” said Dr. Thomas Inge, the study’s lead researcher and a surgeon at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The study offers reassuring evidence that obesity surgery is generally safe for teens, echoing previous short-term research. While it is a drastic, last-ditch option, major complications including accidental injury to internal organs occurred in just 8 percent of teens. Less serious complications including bleeding and dehydration affected 15 percent of kids during the first month after surgery. The study involved 242 teens who had surgery at five U.S. centers from 2007 through 2011. Results for the first month after surgery were released online Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The National Institutes of Health paid for the study.
In a recent scientific statement, the American Heart Association said obesity surgery may be the most effective treatment for what it called “severe obesity” in teens, a condition it said affects about 5 percent of U.S. children and is increasing nationwide.
• AP
In this Nov. 1 photo, Chelsea Hale poses outside her apartment, in Fairfield, Ohio. Hale had obesity surgery in August 2010, at age 17 when she weighed 314 pounds and is now about 170 pounds. A government-funded study published online Nov. 4, in JAMA Pediatrics shows that teens seeking weight-loss surgery have a startling number of health problems that used to be seen only in adults.
In a recent scientific statement, the American Heart Association said obesity surgery may be the most effective treatment for what it called “severe obesity” in teens, a condition it said affects about 5 percent of U.S. children and is increasing nationwide. The group’s threshold for severe obesity is a body mass index of at least 35; the average BMI in the study was 51. Because lifestyle changes and medication rarely work for such obese teens, the statement says obesity surgery should be considered for those with related health problems who are
psychologically mature enough to handle it. The new results bolster evidence from smaller studies in teens and also suggest teens may do better, at least initially, than adults. Earlier 30-day research in adults found a few deaths after obesity surgery, although the risk was no greater than for other major operations. There were no deaths in the teen study. A three-year follow-up report on more than 2,000 patients in the adult study was also published online Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It showed adults generally had fewer obesity-related
Thanksgiving: When to save, where to splurge
Turkey Splurge on preparation, save on the bird. Many people have ethical and environmental reasons for buying a heritage, free range or other high-end bird. But if your only consideration is taste, many experts say even the frozen supermarket bird will suffice if you brine it and brown it.
Stuffing Splurge on the produce, save on the bread. Stuffing was meant to be cheap. Its job is simply to soak up all the lovely juices from your bird. An ordinary loaf of white bread or baguette will do this just fine — Rodgers even likes the pre-packaged bread cubes — but load up on fresh herbs, crisp celery and flavorful extras like excellent mushrooms. “If you can get higher-end mushrooms, that’s going to elevate your stuffing into something really special,” D’Arabian says. A bit of

minced shallot will add sweetness and depth.”
Mashed potatoes Splurge on the cream, save on the spuds. Starchy russets are your best bet for everyone’s favorite side because they soak up whatever flavors you throw at them. The 10-pound bag at Costco will do the job just as well as farmers market potatoes at four times the price. But using heavy cream instead of milk will make those potatoes silky and rich. “There’s nothing like heavy cream in mashed potatoes, and it’s such an indulgence,” D’Arabian says.

Do not elevate. Go with your classic recipe.”

“The elements of Thanksgiving in general are relatively inexpensive,” says Melissa D’Arabian, cookbook author and host of the FoodNetwork.com web series “The Picky Eaters Project.” Items like potatoes, bread for stuffing, and even the turkey are pennies per pound. “But even inexpensive things can become expensive if you’re making it for a lot of people and if you don’t shop well.” Knowing which items to go big on depends on your menu, your skills and your family and friends. “The trick to this is know your audience,” says Rick Rodgers, author of numerous Thanksgiving cookbooks, including “Thanksgiving 101.” ”If you have foodie friends who really enjoy discussing a meal, then maybe you do want the $100 organic turkey. It’s the same thing with the wine. If people are going to notice that you have a $50 pinot noir, go for it. But if they are average Joes, then cook for them, not for you.” Here’s a little more guidance from the experts.
illnesses than in the teen study, and most weight loss occurred within the first year after surgery. Gastric bypass surgery, the most common operation in the U.S., resulted in more weight loss and more improvement in related illnesses than stomach banding, as other studies have shown. Three-year death rates were low, and similar for both procedures, but band patients had many more repeat surgeries. In the teen study, whether obesity surgery resulted in lasting weight loss and better health remains to be seen; the researchers are still following the participants and calculating data.
But anecdotal reports from the teens suggest they’re doing pretty well. Chelsea Hale of Cincinnati has shrunk from 314 to 170 pounds — almost half her previous size — since having surgery three years ago at age 17 at Cincinnati Children’s. Before surgery, Hale had a hormonal problem, heart blockage and sleep apnea — all linked with obesity and all have since subsided. “I feel good, I can pretty much physically do anything,” said Hale, now in nursing school. Like 28 percent of the teens studied, she had gastric sleeve surgery, which involves removing part of the stomach and creating a smaller tube or sleeveshaped stomach. She has to be careful about eating only small portions of foods, to avoid getting sick, but said otherwise she has no food
restrictions. Some teens in the study say they can no longer tolerate certain foods, including sugar, meat or dairy products. Most teens had gastric bypass or stomach stapling, which creates a small pouch in the stomach and attaches it to the intestines. A handful had gastric band operations, in which surgeons position an adjustable band around the top of the stomach, and inflate it to shrink the stomach. This operation has not been approved for U.S. teens. Inge, a pioneer in obesity surgery in teens, says he does about 30 to 40 operations each year at Cincinnati Children’s and the numbers have increased slightly in recent years. Kids must be severely obese to qualify. But many are so large that even when surgery results in substantial weight loss and better health, they can’t shrink their BMI to below the obese range, Inge said. That underscores the need to find ways to prevent severe obesity, he said. University of Colorado heart specialist Dr. Robert Eckel, an American Heart Association spokesman, said the study shows obesity surgery should be considered a reasonable approach for kids, but that the study results may represent a best-case scenario, since surgeons involved were all highly experienced. Parents seeking obesity surgery for their teens should have them evaluated in centers that do lots of these operations, he said.

Tips for surviving the rigors of holiday travel NEW YORK (AP) — There’s not much good news for fliers this Thanksgiving. Airports will be packed, planes will have few — if any — empty seats and you might sit apart from a loved one, unless you pay extra. During the 12-day Thanksgiving travel period, 25.1 million people are projected to fly, an increase of 1.5 percent from last year, according to Airlines for America, the industry’s trade and lobbying group. That would make this the busiest year since 2007, when an estimated 26 million people flew over the holiday period. The busiest travel day will be Sunday, Dec. 1, with an estimated 2.56 million passengers, followed by Wednesday, Nov. 27, with 2.42 million passengers. In case you were wondering, the slowest travel day is Thanksgiving itself, with just 1.44 million people expected to fly. But don’t fret, there are some things you can do — in some cases paying a little extra — to make your trip more pleasant, or to at least buffer the damage if something goes wrong.
Delays • If you miss your connection — or bad weather causes delays — the airlines will automatically rebook you on the next available flight. However, with flights at near capacity, the next open seat could be several days away. • Don’t like the flight you’re rebooked on? Get in line to speak to a customer service representative. But also, call the airline directly. If the phone lines are jammed, try the airline’s overseas numbers. You’ll pay long-distance rates, but might not have to wait. Finally, consider sending a Tweet. • Consider buying a one-day pass to the airline lounge. For one thing, there are usually free drinks and light snacks. But the real secret to the lounges is that the airline staffs them with some of its best — and friendliest — ticket agents. The lines are shorter and these agents are magically able to find empty seats. One-day passes typically cost $50.
Seats • If you and your loved ones don’t have seats together already, and don’t want to pay an extra $9 to $99 domestically for a “premium” coach seat, it’s very likely that you will sit apart. • Set up alerts for seat openings. ExpertFlyer.com offers free notifications when a window or aisle seat becomes vacant. For 99 cents, it sends an email if adjacent seats become available. • Check the airline’s website five days before the trip. That’s when some elite fliers are upgraded to first class, freeing up their coach seats. Another wave of upgrades occurs every 24 to 48 hours. • Check in 24 hours in advance, when airlines start releasing more seats. If connecting, check for open seats 24 hours before the second flight departs. • Keep looking. Even after checking in, seats can be changed at airport kiosks and on some airlines’ mobile applications.
Luggage • Weigh a bag at home first. Anything over 50 pounds (40 pounds on some airlines like Spirit) will generate a hefty overweight surcharge — typically $100 — in addition to the typical $25 checked bag fee. • Before your bag disappears behind the ticket counter make sure the airline’s tag has your name, flight number and final destination. As a precaution, place a copy of your flight itinerary inside your suitcase with your cellphone number and the name of your hotel. • If you can’t live without it, don’t check it. A lost bag can take days to recover. Don’t pack medication or outfits for tomorrow’s meeting or wedding in the bag you’re checking. The same with jewelry or electronics. • You could be asked to check your carry-on bag, given today’s crowded overhead bins. Pack a small canvas bag inside the carry-on. Use that to hold onto your valuables if you have to check the carry-on.

New ‘Thor’ movie pure superhero fun As much as I appreciate deep, dark comic book-inspired films, like Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy, sometimes geeky girls just want to have fun. Thank goodness, then, for movies like “Thor: The Dark World,” which excellently blends a solid save-theworld story with a dash of humor, JENNY sprinkle of romance KOBIELA- and a lot of pure MONDOR entertainment value. And, honestly, could a “Thor” movie work any other way?

The energy is called the Aether, and it is being sought by the long-defeated dark elf Malekith (Christopher Eccleston). Thor (Chris Hemsworth) brings Jane to his home of Asgard in hopes of curing her, but instead Malekith seeks Jane in order to extract the energy from her to destroy the universe. It’s a ridiculous mix of fantasy — Elves! Armor! Swords! — and sci-fi — Aliens! Spaceships! Physics! — that shouldn’t work at all. And occasionally, it doesn’t. There are a few too many scenes of battles between sword-wielding Asgardians and elves with sci-fi blasters jumping out of spaceships. The movie stretches out just a tad too long and gets a smidge tedious at points. But just when I would start to think, “OK, this is just getting ridiculous,” something delightful would happen, and I’d be sucked right back in. And more often than not, I wouldn’t be sucked in by Thor and his quest, or his relationship with Jane, or the impending doom of Asgard and Earth at Malekith’s hand, but with the other major character in the movie — Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who provides many of the laughs and most of the emotional core to the movie. Loki, if you’ve kept up with the quickly growing Marvel Cinematic Universe, was the bad guy in “The Avengers,” but for “Thor: The Dark World,” he’s back to being a complicated, tricky antihero. Without Loki, this movie would be just another sudsie hack-and-slash superhero movie, but with Loki — and Hiddleston’s gleeful, nuanced performance, which is the best in the movie — this “Thor” outing is elevated. It’s still not a particularly deep or artistic movie, but it has some depth. Still, the movie’s depth isn’t too deep, and when things start to get too dour and serious, a good dash of humor is inserted to keep the audience smiling. Chris Hemsworth spends ANSWERS ON PAGE C2

Tours entice visitors to publisher Hearst’s hilltop estate SAN SIMEON, Calif. (AP) — The coastline that parallels Route 1 in central California is so breathtaking that you might be forgiven for missing the zebras on the opposite side of the road. And that huge chateau perched far off on the hillside? Almost unnoticeable at highway speeds. Both belong to the legacy of larger-than-life newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, who chose this surprisingly unobtrusive spot along the Pacific Coast Highway to build his 165-room estate. Now overseen by the state park system, the site known as the Hearst Castle is worth a side trip if you’re driving between San Francisco and Los Angeles. An array of tours offers a glimpse into
the lifestyle of the rich and famous that, while not quick or cheap, is not something you’ll soon forget. The Mediterranean Revival-style property designed by architect Julia Morgan occupies land in San Simeon that had been in Hearst’s family for decades. The original acreage had few amenities, though, and the publisher reportedly told Morgan in 1919: “We are tired of camping out in the open at the ranch in San Simeon and I would like to build a little something.” That “little something” was under construction for the next 28 years, finally completed in 1947. The estate includes indoor and outdoor pools, lush landscaping and a soaring 115-room main house surrounded by three smaller
guest homes. Hearst called his palatial manor La Cuesta Encantada (“The Enchanted Hill”). It also once boasted the world’s largest private zoo, holding exotic animals from polar bears to — you guessed it — zebras. The striped creatures roaming the family’s ranch along the coastal highway are descendants of the originals, though the zoo itself no longer exists. Most tours focus on the central building known as Casa Grande (“Big House”), which looks more like a church because of its twin bell towers. Flanked by towering palms, it’s filled with priceless art and artifacts, from centuries-old marble statues and exotic rugs to Tiffany lamps and antique ceilings. The Grand Rooms tour
shows off the main common areas. In the huge assembly room, guests socialized beneath high walls covered by valuable tapestries and oil paintings; in the flag-draped dining room, they ate on fine dishes and silverware but seasoned their food with off-the-shelf ketchup and mustard bottles (lest you think the host was too formal). A plush movie theater — illuminated by ornately carved, voluptuous female figures holding light fixtures — plays an old newsreel of various guests at the estate, including Charlie Chaplin on the tennis court. The star of the Upstairs Suites tour is probably the sumptuous Doge’s Suite, inspired by the palace of the Venetian ruler. A pair of well-appointed guest
bedrooms boasts precious imported furnishings; the ornate door of one bathroom came from a sacristy in Europe. The suite’s luxurious sitting area has walls draped in blue fabric and a ceiling comprised of ornately framed paintings. Hearst’s own bedroom is comparatively spare, with a canopied bed sitting under a 14th-century wood ceiling carved with medieval figures; a similarly modest space across the hall was used by actress Marion Davies, his longtime companion. Also on this tour is his office, another church-like space with Gothic-style arches, and a comparatively intimate, low-ceilinged library with lined with thousands of books and 150 ancient Greek vases.
Outdoors, visitors can wander the grounds at their own pace. Esplanades around the property are fragrant with flowers and fruit trees, and populated with sculptures and fountains. The jaw-dropping Neptune pool is surrounded by ancient Roman columns, a temple pediment and 17th-century Italian bas-reliefs; its terrace offers spectacular views down to the sea. The path back to the bus takes you through the stunning indoor Roman pool, its blue-and-yellow mosaic tiles accented by marble statues, standing lamps and the occasional sunbeam through a skylight. The Cottages and Kitchens tour includes Hearst’s extensive wine cellar and three guest homes.

Pour in the water or vegetable broth, add the bay leaves, marjoram and thyme and simmer until the split peas start to soften. Add the diced carrots and continue to simmer until the carrots are soft. When the soup has reached the desired texture (the peas should still be slightly firm), remove the bay leaves and lightly blend the soup. The peas will break down, but will still retain some texture. Stir in the mustard, cream and remaining tablespoon of butter. Salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for a further few minutes to allow flavors to combine.
This really does give you a great, mild “curry in a hurry.” I substituted broccoli for the green beans called for in the original recipe. You can add hot pepper or cayenne if you like it hot. • 1 lb. broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces • 1 teaspoon chili powder • 1 teaspoon ground coriander • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala • 1/2 teaspoon sugar • 1 teaspoon salt • 4 tablespoons oil (canola or sunflower) • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds • 1 medium tomato, diced Blanch the broccoli pieces in boiling water for a couple of minutes, drain and refresh with cold water. Mix the chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, sugar and salt with a little water to make a paste. (You can substitute these spices with a good curry, but the extra effort to mix your own will be worth it!) Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the mustard and cumin seeds, and immediately cover with a lid. When the seeds have finished “popping” add the spice paste and stir for 30 seconds. Add the broccoli, stir well and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the diced tomato and cook for a further 5 minutes. Serving suggestion: Garnish with fresh tomato and serve with your choice of rice.
Cardamom Coffee (Syria) The cardamom blends well with a medium-roast coffee, adding a delicate but rich, aromatic touch to the coffee. A perfect way to end a savory dinner! Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, or 3 slit green cardamom pods per person to your freshly ground coffee. Brew in your usual way. Serve black, with a touch of sugar for an authentic taste.

Q. Is there ever a reason you wouldn’t use a “J” or “F” channel when putting up soffit? Brian from Kendallville A. Well, Brian, there are a million ways to build a house so there are several ways to install soffit on your home. The exterior exposed area under the eaves of a home is commonly known as the soffit. It used to be made of wood but is commonly nowadays made of aluminum or vinyl. Since your question involves trim pieces used in vinyl siding, I’ll go in that direction. When aluminum siding came into production some years ago, 2”x2” wood strips were used as the intersection of the wall and the soffit to be covered. The aluminum soffit was nailed to these and the top of the siding was terminated with a “J” channel as part SQUARE of the siding applicaThis achieved CORNERS tion. good, sound structure a straight line for Jeff Deahl and the soffit; you simply framed in the ends and covered the edges with metal. The increase in popularity of aluminum and later vinyl siding has increased the options and accessories for them. When they first came out, you got standard “J” channel; now we have varied sizes of “J” and “F” channel along with vinyl cornice moldings and lintel moldings that have become popular. There are sill trim pieces that you can tuck the top of your siding into; that makes for a nice finish all to match the siding. You can now run an “F” channel to catch the back side of your soffit where it meets the wall. Keep in mind aluminum is more ridged and capable of greater spans without sagging. Vinyl is less expensive but has more flex. Neither wants to be nailed tight because of expansion and contraction through the changing of seasons.

You would save time by just throwing $10 down a drain. There is no identification, no evaluation, no credible sales record source. It’s a mess. The problem is that just like this seller, people are selling objects online and they do not know what they are selling, they do not know the current market or appraised value, and they do not know that there are snakes out there ready to take advantage of your ignorance. Again, do not use eBay or any online auction to determine value. Get a real appraisal — online or traditional — from an expert.

This is a perfect example of something I have been saying for Dr. Lori many, many years. While I hope this story teaches you something about why some antiques dealers deserve the lousy reputations that they have, it also demonstrates something that is tremendously
ART & ANTIQUES
of an antique. Right now, on the eBay auction record site, there is an incorrect value for that bottle. It states that the bottle is only worth $1,200 when it is actually worth $60,000. If you are researching eBay sales records and you come across that bottle, you are going to look at the photograph of the bottle and think that you have a bottle like that one and think it is only worth $1,200. But, it is actually worth more — a lot more — to the tune of $58,800 more. It is worth $60,000. This is the major problem with people who do not have experts evaluate their antiques before posting them on eBay or any online website. This is also the problem with the people who are offering to search eBay records for you and sell you an online appraisal for $9.99. I offer online appraisal services and what they are doing is not an online appraisal. Those people are not evaluating the object; they are just searching posted online sales records that can be horribly wrong.

bottle on eBay for $1,200 and he knew it was actually worth $60,000. So, this dealer added written insult to the unknowing seller’s $58,800 injury. These are the kind of people that you hope get their due in a manner of the old saying “what goes around comes around.” Disgusting!

Every one of us has at some point found ourselves with an old bottle in our hands — some older than others. I get questions about how to tell a valuable bottle from a cheap one all the time. I wrote this article based on a cautionary tale that I heard recently. A woman attended my antiques appraisal event in Houston, Texas, and she recounted this story about the sale of an old bottle on eBay. She told me and my appraisal show audience about how her friend sold an old bottle on eBay for $1,200. They were thrilled about the sale until the buyer, who turned out to be a bottle dealer and the head of some national bottle collecting society, revealed that he had purchased her bottle with the $1,200 winning bid. He did not write to thank her. He wrote to boast. He had the audacity to write to the seller to tell her that she was a stupid woman. That’s what he wrote — stupid. Why was she stupid? Because he revealed that she had sold that

Recycled Christmas trees: mulch, dunes, habitats NEW YORK (AP) — It’s one of America’s great recycling success stories: Every year, hundreds of thousands of discarded Christmas trees are collected and reused. Many are picked up curbside by local garbage collection services and turned into mulch. But there are other second acts for Christmas trees, too. They’re placed on beaches to shore up dunes and sunk in lakes as fish habitats. They’ve even been milled into lumber for use in building homes. How many of the 25 million to 30 million fresh Christmas trees sold each year are recycled is difficult to measure because most recycling programs “are implemented on such a AP local level,” said National Christmas Tree Association In this Jan. 14 file photo, a public works employee dumps a truckload of discarded spokesman Rick Dungey.

BANI Standard of the Week • Too often, undefined expectations create problems between builders and customers before, during and after their building and remodeling projects. Addressing some of the most prevalent issues, a set of Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of their projects against an industry-approved set of standards. These standards help eliminate problems before the project even begins.
Background It is typically the builder’s responsibility to obtain the necessary permits prior to construction on the property. Before any building projects begin, appropriate government agencies should be contacted to secure necessary permits. Each local has different requirements for permits and inspections.
Building Permits Applications for construction should be made according to local government agencies. It is the builder’s responsibility to secure these permits unless otherwise noted in the owner’s contractual agreement. Some government agencies require inspections at various phases of construction. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to ensure all inspections are completed as required.
The inspecting agent may not approve work, may order a work stoppage, or may not allow occupancy STANDARD: Often times an inspector will turn down an inspection because the builder or subcontractor has not performed work or used materials according to the applicable codes. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder is responsible for making the necessary corrections and getting approval from the inspector before proceeding with the next phase of construction.
BUILDING PERMITS, ZONING PERMITS, LAND SURVEYS DISCUSSION: Inspections are not always an indication of a problem with code compliance. Often a project may not pass inspection simply because clarification or additional information is needed by an inspector.
The property does not have corner boundary stakes STANDARD: The builder will do the necessary plotting of the building in accordance with local government requirements and development covenants and restrictions. It is common for a government agency not to require property corner boundary stakes. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder should provide the land survey necessary for government zoning and building approval. In cases where fences, sprinkler systems, tree clearing or other objects encroach upon property lines, the builder is responsible for ensuring that these items do not conflict with local government requirements and development restrictions. For more information about the Quality Assurance Builder Standards, contact the Builders Association of Northeast Indiana at 877-665-8921 for a list of builders who belong to the association and agree to adhere to the Quality Assurance Builder Standards.

Bar carts have become more delicate, refined, and smaller in scale, so you can tuck them into a corner of a room or blend them in with the rest of the furniture,” says Veranda magazine’s market editor Catherine Lee Davis. West Elm’s Parker slim-profile cart in acorn-stained walnut veneer with brass rail trim has a mid-century vibe. The walnutstained Dodson cart features a flip-down front concealing a mirror-lined interior with plenty of storage. And a cart in polished nickel with two foxed mirror shelves evokes Art Deco glamour. (westelm. com ) If you want the look of a built-in bar, consider Pottery Barn’s modular collection of wine grids and drawered cabinets. In black or mahogany finish, the pieces can be configured to look like a hutch or buffet. (potterybarn.com ) Davis says that with barware, the trend is toward shaking it up. “We see lots of different materials like hammered silver, tortoise, or shagreen,” she says. “It’s all about mixing and matching. After all, entertaining should be about having fun.” Gent Supply Co. has a natty collection of coasters, glassware and flasks printed with illustrations of turn-ofthe-century gentlemen duelers, narwhals, anchors, and animals dressed in distinguished garb.

How to reduce seasonal allergies while gardening THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Allergies can put a serious crimp in gardening: A runny nose, itchy eyes, or a wheezing and persistent cough can drive allergy sufferers indoors during the growing season. But there are many things you can do to reduce those irritations and remain a dedicated gardener. Start by determining what’s causing your allergies. See an allergist for tests to define the problem. Then you can garden smarter by avoiding plants that give off harmful pollen, and working only when fewer spores are in the air. An estimated 50 million Americans have seasonal allergy problems, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The cause is pollen from plants, trees, grasses, weeds and mold spores. Peak season usually is March through October, but that varies by region. Tree pollen can be a problem for allergy sufferers as early as January in the South. The degree of distress ranges from annoying to life threatening. “For most individuals, the gardening allergies do, in fact, affect their quality of life, especially during the seasons,” said Dr. Clifford Bassett, director of Allergy and Asthma Care of New
AP
A tulip blooms in New Market, Va. Allergy sufferers will have fewer pollen concerns by choosing plants for their garden that produce little or no airborne pollen. Smart plant choices can help allergy sufferers avoid pollen triggers as they garden. Other less allergy prone plants include azalea, cacti, pansies and petunias, dogwood trees, hibiscus and boxwood shrubs. AP

York. “However, some folks with allergic asthma may experience a flare or exacerbation of their respiratory symptoms that may become more serious, and necessitates them to refrain from or curtail gardening activities.” Some allergy avoidance tips: • Gear up. Medications suggested by a doctor or pharmacist usually relieve
the symptoms, said Leonard Perry, an extension horticulturist with the University of Vermont and an allergy sufferer. “Those should be begun a couple of weeks prior to the onset of a particular allergy season so the body can adjust and be ready,” he said. • Wear a mask. Simple paper masks leak, said Dr. Richard Weber, an

allergist and president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. For more sensitive allergy sufferers, he said, “it makes more sense to get the more sophisticated masks with respirators on each side of your face.” • Planting sites: Be careful where you grow things. “It’s a common practice to use evergreens as foundation
plants, yet they’re pretty allergy-making,” Weber said. “Imagine somebody sensitive having a juniper outside their bedroom window in summer. They’d have lots of trouble.” • Check the daily pollen count. Avoid direct outside exposure on high pollen days when it is sunny, dry and windy, Bassett said. Pollen levels generally are lower in early morning and late evening, as well as on cloudy, windless and wet days. • Eliminate problem plants, especially weeds that
can aggravate late summer and fall allergies, Bassett said. Choose plants that are less likely to cause allergies, such as azalea, bulbs, cacti, daisies, dahlia, pansies and petunias, dogwood trees, hibiscus, boxwood and yucca shrubs. • Clean up when done. “Drop your clothing in a utility room and go shower,” Weber said. The pollen is “in your hair, eyelashes and nose. Do a saltwater wash in your nose and get it out. That probably helps more than any other item.”
