Meth trash found near East Noble

KENDALLVILLE — An Indiana State Police trooper found meth trash Wednesday just a few yards south of East Noble High School’s campus, Indiana State Police said. Trooper John Silver was conducting a roving security patrol in the parking lot and outer perimeter of the high school as part of the state police Safe School

Initiative around noon when he saw what appeared to be trash that was strewn along the south side of Perkins Street. As he took a closer look, and because of his training and experience, Silver recognized that he was looking at a spent one-pot meth lab and other items commonly associated with the production of meth. Doug Davis

of the Kendallville Police Department assisted Silver. The Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Section said meth trash may contain chemicals that are toxic, flammable, corrosive and acidic. The combination of these chemicals could cause an explosion, fire or burns if they come into direct contact with the skin.

Intersection near West Noble set to become 4-way stop LIGONIER — The intersection of S.R. 5 and C.R. 200N near West Noble schools will be converted to a four-way stop starting Wednesday, the Indiana Department of Transportation said Thursday. Currently, the intersection is a two-way stop for C.R. 200N only, with a flashing amber caution light above the intersection on S.R. 5. “Stop” signs with “all way” plaques and flags, stop bars and “stop ahead” signs will be placed at all the approaches to the intersection. Because S.R. 5 traffic previously did not have to stop at the intersection, double “stop ahead” signs and “stop” signs will be placed on S.R. 5 approaches in both directions. An advanced flashing beacon will be placed on the “stop ahead” warning sign for southbound S.R. 5 to increase driver awareness of the new stop. 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. Motorists should be aware of the traffic change and drive with caution at the intersection, INDOT said in a news release.

Motorcyclist injured in crash KENDALLVILLE — A motorcycle operator was injured when he drove his motorcycle head-on into a Noble REMC trailer Thursday in the 3000 block of Waits Road, about two miles east of Kendallville, police said. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene about 1:30 p.m. Kendallville Police officer Doug Davis said the motorcyclist

was eastbound and had crested a hill. A Noble County REMC truck driver was backing the trailer into a driveway on the south side of the road when the motorcycle struck the trailer. The operator was ejected and ended up in a ditch beside the road. He was not wearing a helmet. He was taken to Parkview Noble Hospital in Kendallville.

The motorcycle is registered to Anthony Green, police said, but its operator’s identity was not confirmed. The Noble County Sheriff’s Department, Kendallville Fire Department and Noble County EMS joined Kendallville Police at the scene. No further information was available Wednesday afternoon.

Dinner will include turkey, all the trimmings and homemade pie for a freewill offering. All proceeds will benefit the bureau’s

work to provide Christmas for those in need in the Avilla-LaOtto community. All food is donated, provided or prepared by the St. James Restaurant and its staff, McDonald’s, Presence Sacred Heart Home, LaOtto Meats, Impact Institute, Gordon Food Service, Stanz Food

Service and Avilla-LaOtto area churches. Additional supplies are provided by Fort Wayne Paper Products. Serving will begin at 11 a.m. and run until 2 p.m. or when food runs out, whichever comes first. Organizers recommend that people should arrive early.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Twitter went on sale to the public for the first time Thursday, instantly leaping more than 70 percent above their offering price in a dazzling debut that exceeded even Wall Street’s lofty hopes. By the closing bell, the social network that reinvented global communication in 140-character bursts was valued at $31 billion — nearly as much as Yahoo Inc., an Internet icon from another era, and just below Kraft Foods, the grocery conglomerate founded more than a century ago. Twitter, which has never turned a profit in the seven years since it was founded, worked hard to temper expectations ahead of the IPO, but all that was swiftly forgotten with the stock’s opening surge. The most anticipated initial public offering of the year was carefully orchestrated to avoid the glitches and eventual letdown that surrounded Facebook’s first appearance on the Nasdaq 18 months ago. Trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TWTR,” shares opened at $45.10, 73 percent above their initial offering price. In the first few hours, the stock jumped as high as $50.09. Most of those gains held throughout the day, with Twitter closing at 44.90, despite a broader market decline. The narrow price range indicated that people felt it was “pretty fairly priced,” said JJ SEE TWITTER, PAGE A7

FDA set to phase out all trans fats for good WASHINGTON (AP) — Heart-clogging trans fats were once a staple of the American diet, plentiful in baked goods, microwave popcorn and fried foods. Now, mindful of the health risks, the Food and Drug Administration is getting rid of what’s left of them for good. Condemning artificial trans fats as a threat to public health, the FDA announced Thursday it will require the food industry to phase them out. Manufacturers already have eliminated many trans fats, responding to criticism from the medical community and to local laws, Even so, the FDA said getting rid of the rest — the average American still eats around a gram of trans fat a day — could prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths each year. It won’t happen right away. The agency will collect comments for two months before determining a phase-out timetable. Different foods may have different schedules, depending how easy it is to find substitutes. “We want to do it in a way that doesn’t unduly disrupt markets,” said Michael Taylor, FDA’s deputy commissioner for foods.

Still, he says, the food “industry has demonstrated that it is, by and large, feasible to do.” Indeed, so much already has changed that most people won’t notice much difference, if any, in food they get at groceries or restaurants. Scientists say there are no health benefits to trans fats. And they can raise levels of “bad” cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. Trans fats are widely considered the worst kind for your heart, even worse than saturated fats, which also can contribute to heart disease. Trans fats are used both in processed food and in restaurants, often to improve the texture, shelf life or flavor of foods. Though they have been removed from many items, the fats are still found in some baked goods such as pie crusts and biscuits and in ready-to-eat frostings that use the more-solid fats to keep consistency. They also are sometimes used by restaurants for frying. Many larger chains have phased them out, but smaller restaurants may SEE TRANS FATS, PAGE A7

Noble County reassessment lawsuit moves to DeKalb court BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com AND STAFF REPORTS

AUBURN — A lawsuit filed by a property tax reassessment company against the Noble County Commissioners and Noble County assessor has been venued to DeKalb County. Nexus Group is suing the commissioners and Assessor Kim Miller, arguing that despite numerous demands for payment, the assessor and commissioners have refused to pay Nexus $45,464. The company was hired by the assessor and commissioners in 2009 to provide property tax reassessment services. In April 2012, a dispute arose between the assessor and Nexus regarding the completion of the assessment services, according to court documents. On Sept. 12, 2012, the assessor and commissioners terminated the contract with Nexus

“without justification,” Nexus contends in its complaint. In a counterclaim filed March 15, 2013, Miller and the commissioners said as a consequence of Nexus Group’s alleged breach of contracts, it was necessary to recommit existing Noble County employees to the reassessment project and hire outside vendors to correct work previously done by Nexus and to complete the work, which was due to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance months earlier. Nexus first filed its complaint in Marion Circuit Court on Jan. 18. At that time, the Department of Local Government Finance also was a defendant in the lawsuit. The case was filed in Marion Circuit Court because the DLGF’s principal office is in Marion County.

The DLGF was dismissed as a defendant and in August this year, the case was transferred to Noble County. On Oct. 11, Nexus filed for a change of venue, stating that Noble County is a party to the suit and a change of venue was mandatory. Judge Robert E. Kirsch of Noble County Superior Court I granted the transfer of venue Oct. 11, and the case was filed in DeKalb Superior Court I Oct. 29. The DLGF held a hearing on Nexus’ actions in September 2012. It also conducted a spot-check of Nexus work in Noble County in October 2012 and found errors in 69 out of 244 randomly chosen properties Nexus had worked on in a state-required ratio study. Tyler Technologies, hired in mid-September 2012 to complete Nexus work, completed it by Nov. 1, 2012.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Insurance cancellations are fueling a political backlash against President Barack Obama and Democrats supporting his health care overhaul, but they may be a silver lining for the law itself. It’s Economics 101, a little-noticed consequence of a controversial policy decision. And there are winners and losers. Millions of people who currently buy their own health insurance coverage are losing it next year because their plans don’t meet requirements of the health care law. Experts say the resulting shift of those people into the new health insurance markets under Obama’s law would bring in customers already known to insurers, reducing the overall financial risks for each state’s insurance pool. That’s painful for those who end up paying higher premiums for upgraded policies. But it could save money for the taxpayers who are subsidizing the new coverage. “Already-insured people who do roll over will improve the risk pool, not hurt it,”

Super Typhoon Haiyan — which is one of the strongest storms in world history based on maximum windspeed — is about to plow through the Central Philippines, producing a potentially deadly storm surge and dumping heavy rainfall that could cause widespread flooding. The densely populated city of Manila, home to 12 million, is in the storm’s path, although it is predicted to escape the worst of the winds and storm surge. As of Thursday afternoon Eastern time, Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Yolanda, had estimated maximum sustained winds of 195 mph with gusts above 220 mph, which puts the storm in extraordinarily rare territory. Since 1969, only three storms have had sustained winds close to this magnitude — Hurricane Camille in 1969, Super Typhoon Tip in 1979, and Hurricane Allen in 1980. No storm in the Atlantic has ever been stronger than Haiyan, accoring to The Weather Channel. Haiyan is capable of causing catastrophic damage in the central Philippines and its outer bands are already starting to affect the island nation.

said David Axene, a California-based actuarial consultant for health plans, hospitals, government programs and employers. Compared to the uninsured, people with coverage are less likely to have a pent-up need for medical services, he explained. They may have already had that knee replacement instead of hobbling around on a cane. They’re also more likely to have seen a doctor regularly. “The current individual market enrollees are definitely a good addition to the risk pool,” concurred Larry Levitt, an insurance expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. At some point, all these customers had to pass extensive medical screening that insurers traditionally use to screen out people with health problems. Such filtering will no longer be allowed starting next year, and a sizable share of the uninsured people expected to gain coverage under Obama’s law have health problems that has kept them from getting coverage. They’ll be the costly cases.

Couple turn ‘cottage’ into a home ROME CITY — Tony and Tracey Freiburger looked for several years before they found their adorable cottage on Sylvan Lake in 2005. They will open their home to the public on Nov. 16 as part of the Rome City Chamber Commerce Holiday Walk. For six years the couple rented a cottage on Lake Gage, but knew they wanted to be with their wonderful friends on Sylvan Lake. When their children were little they would pack their bags, coolers, and tent and stay with friends on Kerr Island. They spent many spring, summer, fall, and winter weekends at Sylvan Lake and knew this was where they wanted to be. On Christmas Eve day in 2004, it was a blistery -11 with 15 plus inches of snow on the ground when they came to Sylan Lake to look at a little 1940s fishing cottage. Tracey and Tony walked in and saw the potential, the love, and the warmth that it offered. There was no insulation, it had drapes for doors, corkboard walls that only went part of the way up to the ceiling with a sink in the bathroom that hung half way over the toilet.

CMA Awards, stars salute George Strait NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The entertainer of the year trophy at the Country Music Association Awards is one of the most coveted honors in the genre, but sometimes it’s OK to lose — like, say, when George Strait is a nominee. Strait won his third entertainer of the year award and his first since 1990 on Wednesday night against country music’s current hit makers, and no one seemed disappointed. Blake Shelton — one of five performers with a leading two victories — was excited to lose to the 61-yearold whose popularity defies his age. “That’s how it needs to be because he’s not just entertainer of the year, he’s entertainer of the last three decades, I guess, or four decades,” Shelton said. “I don’t know who’s keeping score. I mean, it’s George Strait. He’s King George. I couldn’t be happier with how this turned out.” Shelton was one of five top winners with two trophies apiece, along with Florida Georgia Line and the trio of Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Keith Urban, who won music video and music event of the year for their “Highway Don’t Care” collaboration. Like Strait, Swift also was going for her third entertainer of the year, which would have been a CMA record for a woman. Like Shelton, she couldn’t have cared less when she lost, instead hugging Faith Hill as they cried tears of joy for Strait. She noted they’ve both opened for Strait in their careers and she recounted a story about how Strait and his wife Norma dropped in to one of her first headlining concerts when she was a teenager just to wish her luck. The crowd gave Strait a standing ovation as he made his way to the stage, and stayed standing throughout his speech. It wasn’t just a special night for those in the arena. It was also the show’s

top trending moment on Facebook. His retirement from the road has gained lots of attention, but Strait isn’t a relic. He recently earned his record 60th No. 1 and signed a five-album deal with Universal Music Nashville. Backstage, he shared with reporters how it has felt as he circles the country on his The Cowboy Rides Away tour, his last. “When I first started out this year, the first few shows, I about lost it every night, you know, leaving the stage … thinking, ‘This might be the last time I ever play on this stage again,’” Strait said. Strait’s victory capped a show that was simultaneously focused on the past, present and future. Shelton, his wife Miranda Lambert and Swift all continued their winning ways. Shelton took album of the year for “Based on a True Story …,” and won his fourth male vocalist of the year. Voters supplied some symmetry when they named Lambert female vocalist of the year, also for the fourth time, tying her with friend Reba McEntire. It was the third straight year in which Lambert or Shelton were among the top winners, and capped a year in which they were dogged by tabloid stories about their relationship. Lambert said she wasn’t sure why the CMA’s 6,000 voters love the couple so much. “You know, pillow talk, literally, we’re like, ‘Well, our year was last year,’” Lambert said. “It was great, a great run while we had it. We’ll drink tonight and celebrate all of our friends winning, because literally all of my friends won awards tonight.” Swift, who performed a somber, acoustic version of her hit “Red” with Vince Gill, Alison Krauss and Sam Bush, won her eighth and ninth CMA trophies before being honored with the association’s Pinnacle Award, given to an

artist who has taken country to a worldwide audience. The CMA brought a star-studded welcoming group on stage for Swift that included Strait, Rascal Flatts, McGraw and Hill, Urban and Brad Paisley — all of whom gave Swift a chance to open for them on the road a teenager. A video salute followed with appearances by Justin Timberlake, Julia Roberts, Carly Simon, Ethel Kennedy and Mick Jagger — whose appearance made Swift shout. “You’ve made me feel so special right now, thank you,” Swift said. Voters also cast an eye to the future, handing trophies to young stars Florida Georgia Line and Kacey Musgraves, who was a top nominee with Swift. Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley scored single and vocal duo of the year. Their

quick wins early in the show was more proof the so-called bro country movement is the sound of the moment in mainstream country. Florida Georgia Line kicked off the show performing a fist-pumping medley with Luke Bryan, and quickly returned to the stage to take the trophy for single of the year for their “Cruise” remix featuring Nelly. They also played the new song “Round Here.” “It’s been a constant thing all year — we’ve been trying to wrap our minds around what’s going on,” Hubbard said backstage of the band’s platinum success. “It’s been a dream come true for us and a huge blessing for us and something we could have never imagined.” Musgraves won the new artist trophy, besting a field that included Florida Georgia Line. “It’s amazing what 52

weeks can do to a person,” Musgraves said backstage. “… Last year I had really crappy seats. You know, I was just sitting back with my roommate just as a fan. And here I am holding this thing.” Lee Brice’s “I’d Drive Your Truck,” about a fallen soldier whose father still drives his truck, won song of the year, and Little Big Town took its second straight vocal group of the year. Collaboration was the theme of the night as Strait and Alan Jackson joined together to salute the late George Jones with a rendition of “She Stopped Loving Him Today.” Hunter Hayes and Jason Mraz took a tour of the Bridgestone Arena while performing “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me.” And in one of the night’s most anticipated moments, Kenny Rogers received the CMA’s Willie Nelson lifetime achievement award.

This image released by Nickelodeon shows, from left, Penny Marshall, Jennette McCurdy, Ariana Grande and Cindy Williams in a scene from the series “Sam & Cat.” Marshall and

Williams, best known from their comedy series “Laverne and Shirley,” will guest star in the episode airing Saturday at 8 p.m. EST.

Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams together again LOS ANGELES (AP) — Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams play feuding ex-TV partners on an episode of Nickelodeon’s “Sam & Cat,” but they brush aside any comparison to their past. The former “Laverne & Shirley” stars, who back in the day of their 1976-83 sitcom were reported to have crossed swords, said they were never enemies and remain friends despite lingering suggestions to the contrary. “That was rumors. Any show you work on for eight years, you’re gonna argue at some point,” said Marshall. “Way overblown.” Williams agreed, but added a bit of detail. “Yes, it was a bit overblown,” she said. The actress added that she

and Marshall have “very different personalities” with contradictory styles of working, which sometimes led to on-set clashes. That said, Williams regularly visits Marshall’s house to watch and discuss TV. There’s a chill in the air, Williams said, but only because Marshall keeps her thermostat turned down and, to compensate, provides down coats and blankets for guests. Marshall, whose big-screen directing credits include “A League of Their Own” and “Big,” is busy working on a documentary about provocative ex-NBA player Dennis Rodman. But she and Williams were enticed by “Sam & Cat” creator Dan Schneider to guest star on the comedy airing at 8 p.m. EST on Saturday.

“He loved our show,” Williams said. “He wanted to do a little tribute.” In the episode, Sam (Jennette McCurdy) and Cat (Ariana Grande) face having to rename their baby-sitting business because it’s similar to “Salmon Cat,” a faux 1970s TV show. The young women track down the show’s creators (Marshall and Williams) and try to dissolve their enmity. In another Nickelodeon reunion, “Happy Days” creator Garry Marshall (brother of Penny Marshall), makes a guest appearance on “See Dad Run” starring Scott Baio, a cast member on the 1974-84 sitcom starring Henry Winkler and Ron Howard. The “See Dad Run” episode airs 8 p.m. EST on Sunday.

TRANS FATS: Many companies have made switch FROM PAGE A1 still get food containing trans fats from suppliers. How can the government get rid of them? The FDA said it has made a preliminary determination that trans fats no longer fall in the agency’s “generally recognized as safe” category, which covers thousands of additives that manufacturers can add to foods without FDA review. Once trans fats are off the list, anyone who wants to use them would have to petition the agency for a regulation allowing it, and that would likely not be approved. The fats are created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil to make it more solid, which is why they are often called partially hydrogenated oils. The FDA is not targeting small amounts of trans fats that occur naturally in some meat and dairy products, because they would be too difficult to remove and aren’t considered a major public health threat on their own. Many companies have already phased out trans fats, prompted by new nutrition labels introduced by FDA in 2006 that list trans fats and by an increasing number of local laws, like one in New York City, that have banned them. In 2011, Wal-Mart pledged to remove all

artificial trans fats from the foods the company sells by 2016. Recent school lunch guidelines prevent them from being served in cafeterias. In a statement, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was his city’s 2008 ban that led to much of the progress. “Our prohibition on trans fats was one of many bold public health measures that faced fierce initial criticism, only to gain widespread acceptance and support,” he said. Indeed, consumers are eating less of the fat. According to the FDA, trans fat intake among Americans declined from 4.6 grams per day in 2003 to around one gram in 2012. A handful of other countries have banned them, including Switzerland and Denmark. Other countries have enacted strict labeling laws. Dr. Leon Bruner, chief scientist at the Grocery Manufacturers Association, said in a statement that his group estimates that food manufacturers have voluntarily lowered the amount of trans fats in food products by 73 percent. The group, which represents the country’s largest food companies, did not speculate on a reasonable timeline or speak to

how difficult a ban might be for some manufacturers. Bruner said in a statement that “consumers can be confident that their food is safe, and we look forward to working with the FDA to better understand their concerns and how our industry can better serve consumers.” Said FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg: “While consumption of potentially harmful artificial trans fat has declined over the last two decades in the United States, current intake remains a significant public health concern.” Agency officials say they have been working on trans fat issues for around 15 years and have been collecting data to justify a possible phase-out since just after President Barack Obama came into office in 2009. The advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest first petitioned FDA to ban trans fats nine years ago. The group’s director, Michael Jacobson, says the prohibition is “one of the most important lifesaving actions the FDA could take.” “Six months or a year should be more than enough time, especially considering that companies have had a decade to figure out what to do,” Jacobson said.

LAKE JAMES — More than 150 youth from six counties will attend this weekend’s Extreme Makeover Youth Pod Edition philanthropy conference at Pokagon State Park starting today. The conference is sponsored by the Dekko Foundation. “We tend to refer to it as a retreat,” said Kimberly Schroeder, Dekko program officer. The event has been held annually for some 20 years. Youth pods from Steuben, LaGrange, DeKalb, Noble, Whitley and Kosciusko counties, in addition to the states of Iowa, Alabama and Minnesota, will attend. This will be Forever Improving Steuben County Together President Jana Olson’s third retreat and she said the experience is invaluable. She attended other retreats in Michigan and Iowa. FIST is the 15-member youth arm of the Steuben County Community Foundation. All 15 FIST members are supposed to

attend the retreat. “It’s actually awesome,” she said. “It’s a humbling experience. You get to collaborate with other youth pods and it’s really intriguing. This helps the group grow and it’s really exciting. We want to thank Dekko and the community foundation.” One thing FIST will look for is service project ideas at the retreat, Olson said. Dekko defines youth pods as groups helping teens discover their talent, learn how to manage a nonprofit organization, play a role in community development and work alongside adults to address community issues. The youth pods encourage the use of philanthropy. Schroeder said youth pods and other teens in the community will attend. The conference is filled with activity. “Friday, we start with ice breakers, team builders. Then we will have each youth pod build their own house” and determine the structure’s foundation, she said. “After we’re done, we’ll have lunch and break-out sessions.

“We’ll do a lot. We’ll have three rounds of breakouts and a pretend natural disaster, then move to a press conference and talk about the last 20 years and think what we’ll rebuild. We’ll go into a town meeting and talk about evolving youth pods,” she said. “We’re coming in as 13 youth pods and when we leave, we’ll focus on positive community change.” Other retreat speakers will be Tom Leedy, Dekko president; Kevin Wanzer, national speaker; and Craig Kielburger, Canadian activist for children’s rights. Jennifer Danic, CEO and president of SCCF, said this is the first time the conference will be held at Pokagon. “Thanks to school administrators for allowing FIST members a day out of school. I think schools in other counties would allow it because it benefits the community,” Danic said. Each community foundation in the six counties has its own youth pod.

TWITTER: Special users get to ring opening bell FROM PAGE A1

Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. The immediate price spike “clearly shows that demand exceeds the supply of shares,” said Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter. Earlier in the day, Twitter gave a few users rather than executives the opportunity to ring the NYSE’s opening bell. The users included actor Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in “Star Trek: The Next Generation”; Vivienne Harr, a 9-year-old girl who ran a lemonade stand for a year to raise money to end child slavery; and Cheryl Fiandaca of the Boston Police Department. Twitter raised $1.8 billion Wednesday night when it sold 70 million shares to select investors for $26 each. Had it priced the stock at $30, for instance, the company would have taken away $2.1 billion. At $35, it would have reaped nearly $2.5 billion. “In hindsight, when you look at this, you almost think they left a little too much money on the table,” Entner said. Named after the sound of a chirping bird, Twitter’s

Twitter signage is draped on the facade of the New York Stock Exchange Thursday.

origins date back to 2005, when creators Noah Glass and Evan Williams were trying to get people to sign up for Odeo, a podcasting service they created. Odeo didn’t make it. By early 2006, Glass and fellow Odeo programmer Jack Dorsey began work on a new project: teaming with co-worker Christopher “Biz” Stone on a way to corral text messages typically sent over a phone. It was Glass who came up with the original name Twttr. The two vowels were added

later. The first tweets were sent on March 21, 2006. By 2007, Twitter was incorporated with Dorsey as the original CEO and Williams as chairman. Dorsey and Williams would eventually swap roles. Both remain major shareholders, though neither runs the company. Glass, meanwhile, was effectively erased from Twitter’s history, writes New York Times reporter Nick Bilton in “Hatching Twitter: A true story of money, power, friendship, and betrayal.”

Auburn library examines research on Shakers Ruthless killer to lead Taliban BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — Eckhart Public Library volunteer Gaylen Eberhart removed the binder from the top drawer of a metal filing cabinet Tuesday afternoon and began leafing through its contents. “The fun thing is what you’re going to find,” said Eberhart. “Pictures, sketches …” That’s when Eberhart stumbled across the find of the day — an original land registration to the Indiana Shakers for an 80-acre tract of land in Illinois. The registration was signed by President James Monroe. Eberhart is among the volunteers and library staff members who, under the knowledgeable eye of Shaker expert Martha Boice, have been sorting through the extensive Shaker collection of the late DeKalb County historian John Martin Smith. “(Smith) had been talking about writing a book about the Shakers in Indiana,” library director Janelle Graber explained. As part of his research, Smith amassed a significant collection of books, maps, documents, artwork and other artifacts pertaining to the Shakers. He also had worked with Boice, who is a leading authority on Shaker

communities and has written books on Shaker subjects. The library has partnered with Smith’s family to digitize selections from his collections. Once the project is complete, the public will be able to access images of the artifacts online. “This is the Shaker portion of the collection,” Graber said as she gestured toward boxes and cabinets yet to be sorted. The sorting is taking place in the replica Sinclair Station on Auburn’s North Main Street. Documents and artifacts fill 27 banker’s boxes and two filing cabinets. “We’re pulling out portions of the collection and bringing in experts and asking them to identify materials that we need to digitize and those (items) that can be readily found,” Graber explained. That’s where Boice came in this week, as she identified significant and rare documents and artifacts associated with the Shakers. Smith began researching the Shakers as early as 1971. According to a letter Smith wrote to the United Society of Shakers in 1979, he devoted his time to Shaker research while recovering from a heart attack he suffered in 1978. A copy of a lecture given by Smith in New York on

the Shakers indicated Smith owned several original Shaker artifacts, including a hand-written hymnal from 1855 and the land registration that Eberhart located Tuesday. Copies of what was believed to be the hymnal had been located in the collection, but as of

tract of land in Illinois. The registration was signed by President James Monroe and is part of a collection of historic documents and artifacts amassed by the late John Martin Smith of Auburn.

Tuesday, the original still had not been discovered. “We’re hoping to find the original,” Graber said. Boice said Smith was especially interested in the Shaker community that settled in West Union in Knox and Sullivan counties in Indiana. By 1808,

Shakers were living along the Wabash River in West Union. The community did not last very long, closing in 1827, Boice said. Many people believed sickness was the reason for the decline of the Shaker community in West Unity, Boice said.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — The ruthless commander behind the attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai as well as a series of bombings and beheadings was chosen Thursday as the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, nearly a week after a U.S. drone strike killed the previous chief. The militant group ruled out peace talks with the government, accusing Pakistan of working with the U.S. in the Nov. 1 drone strike. Islamabad denied the allegation and accused Washington of sabotaging its attempt to strike a deal with the Taliban to end years of violence. Mullah Fazlullah was unanimously appointed the new leader by the Taliban’s leadership council, or shura, after several days of deliberation, said the council’s head, Asmatullah Shaheen Bhitani. Militants fired AK-47 assault rifles and anti-aircraft guns into the air to celebrate.

DETROIT (AP) — Rich Peverley’s goal at 4:41 of overtime completed a comeback and gave the Dallas Stars a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. Peverley beat Howard on a wrist shot from the high slot. Shawn Horcoff, Jamie Benn and Cody Eakin also for Dallas. Kari Lehtonen stopped 26 shots. Todd Bertuzzi and Pavel Datsyuk each had a goal and an assist, Adam Almquist got his first career goal for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight at home. Henrik Zetterberg had three assists. Jimmy Howard made 24 saves. Eakin’s power-play goal at 18:50 of third, and with

Lehtonen pulled to make it a 6-on-4 advantage, tied the game at 3. It was Eakin’s fourth goal. Datsyuk’s goal with 8:26 left in the third gave Detroit a 3-2 lead. He made a nice move past Horcoff in the slot before firing a wrist shot past Lehtonen. It was Datsyuk’s seventh goal. Benn tied the game at 2, 4:08 into the third with a spectacular individual effort. He stole the puck from the Red Wings’ Darren Helm in the neutral zone, circled back to his own blue line and went end-to-end, made a move past Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall and put a backhand past Howard for his sixth goal. Horcoff put the Stars on

the scoreboard at 19:39 of the second period when he was left alone in front of Howard. It was Horcoff’s second goal. Bertuzzi opened the scoring 7:44 into the second period with his fifth goal. His one-time slap shot from the high slot area, that deflected off the stick of Dallas’ Ryan Garbutt, beat Lehtonen. Almquist, a rookie defenseman playing in his second NHL game, made it 2-0 with 5:10 left in the second. He scored on a one-time shot from the slot. Dallas’ Tyler Seguin hit the goal post with about eight minutes left in the first period. The Red Wings outshot the Stars 7-4 in the first period.

Indianapolis wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (13) is pursued by Houston’s Johnathan Joseph (24) as he runs for a touchdown in Sunday’s game.

Hilton is one of a handful of receivers filling the shoes of the injured Reggie Wayne.

Colts receivers step up INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts know that no single player can replace wide receiver Reggie Wayne. Still, Indy will need to be more effective and balanced in its passing game since Wayne is out for the season with a torn right ACL. The Colts continued their winning ways with a 27-24 comeback victory against the Houston Texans last Sunday night. But they got off to a slow start in their first game without their 13-year veteran receiver who stabilized the offense and provided a veteran presence for Andrew Luck. T.Y. Hilton caught seven passes for 121 yards and three touchdowns against Houston, but Indy still is looking for more from the rest of the receiving group

heading into Sunday’s home game against the St. Louis Rams. The Colts say the passing game has the talent to step forward with receivers Darrius Heyward-Bey and Griff Whalen, running back Trent Richardson and tight end Coby Fleener. “This team has always bought into the mentality and the mindset of next man up,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “We haven’t wavered from that. They haven’t wavered from that. Fortunately, we’ve been successful and we’ve been able to overcome. So, from a confidence standpoint, that’s why these guys don’t flinch.” Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said Luck trusts his receivers, so his approach won’t

change. “I think Andrew has done a pretty good job of distributing the ball to different guys, and that’s a big part of our system and our approach,” he said. “Defensively, they can’t zero in on one guy and scheme up a way to take that one guy away. Those guys (other receivers), I think they’re up to the challenge.” Luck was one of the league’s most efficient passers in the first half of the season, but he completed just 18 of 40 passes against Houston in his first game as a pro without his favorite target. Hilton noticed things were much different without Wayne early. “It wasn’t the same not having him out there in that first half,” SEE COLTS, PAGE B2

Cubs hire Renteria as manager CHICAGO (AP) — First-time manager Rick Renteria is focused on the future of the Chicago Cubs, rather than their past failures. Renteria preached accountability Thursday when he was introduced via teleconference as the franchise’s 53rd manager. He takes on a challenging job that goes beyond merely trying to bring a winning team to Wrigley Field. The development of young ballplayers has been labeled as one of his strengths. And with Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo needing help, the former San Diego Padres bench coach has got lots of work ahead of him with a team that finished 66-96. “My personality doesn’t allow for being counted out,” Renteria said. “I think what we’re trying to do between the lines will speak for itself. In the end, we’re all judged in one fashion or another, but I don’t preoccupy myself too much about what I think’s going to happen. I preoccupy myself with

San Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria was officially hired as the new manager of the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.

what I want to do.” First thing he needs to do: Get healthy. Renteria will be introduced at Wrigley at a later date as he is recuperating in San Diego

following hip surgery in October. The 51-year-old Renteria got a three-year contract with club options for 2017 and 2018. He SEE CUBS, PAGE B2

MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade scored 29 points, 11 in the fourth quarter, and the Miami Heat held off the Los Angeles Clippers 102-97 on Thursday night. LeBron James added 18 points for the Heat (4-2), who won their third straight and extended their club record by scoring at least 100 points in a sixth consecutive game to start the season. Chris Bosh, playing for the first time since his wife delivered a baby earlier this week, finished with 12 points for Miami. Blake Griffin had 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Clippers (3-3). His dunk with 31 seconds left got the Clippers within four, but Griffin allowed about 15 seconds to run off the clock without fouling James on the ensuing possession. James made one free throw to push Miami’s lead to five, and that closed the scoring. J.J. Redick scored 15 points, Jamal Crawford added 14, Chris Paul finished with 11 points and 12 assists, and DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Clippers. Ray Allen scored 12 points for Miami, which got 10 from Chris Andersen. Including playoffs, the Heat have won 51 of their last 57 games when Wade scores at least 20 points, going back to June 2012. It’s also the first time since last March that Wade has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games, this streak immediately following him sitting out the second game of the season for rest. Wade either scored or assisted on Miami’s first six field goals of the fourth quarter, including a three-point play while getting fouled on a jumper by Redick. About a minute later, Wade set up Shane Battier for a 3-pointer that put Miami up 91-80, and the 2006 NBA Finals MVP punctuated it all with a fist pump. The Heat held on from there, improving to 50-7 at home since the start of last season, including playoffs. For the sixth time in as many games this season, the Heat found themselves in a quick deficit — and for the fourth time, it was exactly 9-2, just as it was against Chicago, Washington and Toronto. The Heat trailed Brooklyn 11-3 early, and fell behind at Philadelphia on the season’s second night by scores of 19-0 and 26-4. It didn’t last long, as Miami tied it on three occasions later in the opening quarter, then took its first lead on a baseline jumper by Andersen with 8:58 left in the half. The Clippers used a 12-5 spurt to take a seven-point lead later in the half, then settled for a 56-52 halftime lead even with Paul being held to five points, his low for a first half this season. Griffin opened the second half with a 3-pointer, but the Heat chipped away and three hustle plays by Battier late in the third helped Miami finish the period on a 12-5 run to take a 76-73 lead.

Cutler to start against Lions LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Jay Cutler’s time away proved shorter than the Chicago Bears originally expected. After missing one game, the quarterback will return Sunday to face the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field following a groin tear suffered Oct. 20. Team officials originally expected Cutler to be out four weeks and then be assessed week to week, but doctors cleared Cutler to play Thursday and he practiced without a problem. “As soon as I got hurt, I felt like I’d be back quicker than they thought,” Cutler said. “I kind of had that mindset.” Coach Marc Trestman saw no reason to believe the team is pushing its starter back onto the field too soon. “He had an excellent practice,” Trestman said. “He moved around. We worked the entire game plan today: our movements, climbing the pocket, throwing the football, down the field, short throws, everything. He did everything today.” Cutler does not view his quick return as a gamble. He credited the use of an

Chicago quarterback Josh McCown (12) talks to Jay Cutler during the first half of Monday’s game against Green Bay. Cutler is expected to start Sunday’s game.

Athletic Rehabilitation and Performance machine (ARP), a device that helps heal soft tissue, with his rapid recovery. “If I wasn’t back to 100 percent, or if they had any doubts, I wouldn’t have been able to practice today,” he said. “That was the stipulation.” The Bears had a bye after their 45-41 loss to Washington, which provided some extra time for Cutler to recover. He suffered the injury with 10 minutes left in the first half

of the Washington game on a sack, and backup Josh McCown completed the contest, then played all of Monday night’s 27-20 win at Green Bay. Cutler is slated to become a free agent after this season, but called his contract status no factor in coming back so soon. “I haven’t worried about my contract,” he said. “I haven’t worried about it, period. That stuff takes care of itself somehow some way. “So my biggest thing was just helping Josh last week

to make sure, even though I knew he would be ready, to make sure I could help him in anyway, and then get back as soon as possible so I could help those guys.” McCown completed 36 of 61 for 476 yards and did not turn the ball over as Cutler’s replacement. He had a passer rating of 100.2. Cutler has completed 146 of 225 for 1,658 yards and 12 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He has a passer rating of 91.7. McCown said he had no problem returning to the sidelines after playing so well. “Jay got hurt and I served my team by playing and doing what I could to help us win a ballgame, and then play effective football when I was in there,” McCown said. “When he’s healthy, he comes back and he’s the starter and that’s how it goes. That’s how we operate.” McCown said he will take no snaps with the first team this week at practice, as is normal with backup quarterbacks with the Bears and many NFL teams. Trestman said he wasn’t sure yet if he will have third quarterback Jordan Palmer active as a precaution Sunday.

COLTS: Hilton emerges as Luck’s top target after Wayne injury FROM PAGE B1

Hilton said. “So we went back in there the second half, adjusted — we had to man up. Since 87 wasn’t there, somebody had to make a play.” Hilton already was starting to garner attention. Now, as Luck’s No. 1 target, he’ll be an even bigger focus of defensive game plans. He enters 12th in the AFC with 533 yards receiving. “His numbers will certainly change because of the loss of Reggie, which is very unfortunate,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. “It appears that obviously he’s able to do the same things. They’re moving him around, asking a lot of different things of him. He’s got exceptional speed. He can make the tough catch. He’s got run-after-catch ability.” There were bright spots on Sunday. Fleener had three catches for 64 yards, and he caught a 2-point conversion in the fourth quarter that gave Indianapolis a 27-24 lead with four minutes left. Richardson, the Colts’ running back, caught two passes for 33 yards against Houston after catching just

two passes in the previous five games combined. The Colts are trying to find ways to get him more opportunities in the passing game. “We know he’s got that ability,” Pagano said. “I think as he gets more comfortable with the scheme and terminology and all those types of things and the game, the situation, the score, all those things kind of line up — if the stars all line up we’d love to get him in space more and get the ball in his hands more.” Not all the connections went well on Sunday. The Colts targeted Whalen nine times, and he caught just three passes. Heyward-Bey was targeted six times and caught just one pass. Luck said he’s looking ahead. “I think you hopefully learn from your mistakes,” he said. “We did some good things. It’s nice to say, ‘We can win without Reggie in the lineup.’ It’s a mental sort of checklist thing that’s nice. Hopefully, you learn from the mistakes more than anything from the past game. We’re 100 percent onto St. Louis now.”

Hagelin’s goals power ND’s Niklas is intimidating tight end Rangers past Columbus COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Carl Hagelin scored two goals — one thanks to an opposing player — and Cam Talbot made 32 saves Thursday night to lead the New York Rangers past Columbus 4-2, extending the Blue Jackets’ losing streak to five games. Rangers captain Ryan Callahan and defenseman Ryan McDonagh each added a goal and an assist. Ex-Ranger Fedor Tyutin scored his first of the season and rookie Ryan Murray also had a goal for the Blue Jackets, who lost despite several highlightreel stops among 30 saves by Sergei Bobrovsky. There were plenty of familiar faces on both sides — four players on each team used to play for the other one. The Rangers won for the fifth time in their last six games. Talbot was the third straight backup goalie to

Travel

face the Blue Jackets. All three have won, combining to give up just three goals. Talbot made several solid saves in the scoreless third period, stymieing former Ranger Artem Anisimov on a backhander in the crease on a power play in the final minutes. A wild second period saw the Rangers score two of three goals — one when a Blue Jackets player put the puck in his own net. At the 4:17 mark, with the Rangers on a power play, McDonagh’s hard shot from the point was redirected twice. First it glanced off Mats Zuccarello before it ricocheted into the net off a redirect by Callahan. New York made it 3-1 at 12:44 on a fluke. Columbus forward Mark Letestu tried to clear the puck from the left corner but instead he lost control of it and pushed it past Bobrovsky from a hard angle. The goal was awarded to Hagelin.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame tight end Troy Niklas is an intimidating figure at 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds and a physique so impressive former teammate Manti Te’o nicknamed him “Hercules.” Off the field, though, the mere mention of Niklas’ name brings a smile to teammates’ faces because of his offbeat character. “He’s definitely a goofball, but a great guy and obviously ridiculously talented on the field,” offensive tackle Zack Martin said. “I’ve gotten pretty close to Troy over the last year or so and he’s definitely the goofy guy on the team.” Martin said the moment that probably sums up Niklas’ unorthodox personality occurred at the pep rally before the Michigan game last year when he took off his shirt and gave a ranting speech about how he and his teammates had learned “to love the pain.” “He’s pretty out there

and he’s not afraid to do anything,” Martin said, laughing. “He can make people feel pretty awkward.” Niklas, a junior from Fullerton, Calif., majoring in entrepreneurship embraces that reputation, saying he likes to keep things lively and hates boring, mundane tasks. That makes football practices tough at times, but Niklas said “verbal encouragement” from Irish coaches helps him stay on task. Niklas showed another side of himself recently, leading a team effort to raise $4,600 for the South Bend Center for the Homeless and helping to organize a dinner where 70 Notre Dame players sat down to eat with people at the shelter. “It was not out of character as much as it was the side we hadn’t seen of him,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “As he’s matures, he’s felt more comfortable being Troy Niklas. That maturity comes out as he becomes more confident in himself and not

letting his guard down and not being that quirky, zany kind of guy we saw just last year taking his shirt off at the pep rally. There’s a little bit more to Troy Niklas than that.” Niklas said it was a continuation of work he had done at Servite High School where students gathered essentials and gave them out to the homeless. He said working with homeless people is inspiring. “Sometimes you don’t know how much you have until you see someone who doesn’t have anything,” Niklas said. “Being here at Notre Dame we’re so blessed athletically, intellectually, opportunity-wise, just to be in a community that’s loving and caring. A lot of people don’t have that.” Later that week, Niklas was Notre Dame’s leading receiver against Southern California with four catches for 58 yards, including a 7-yard TD catch in the 14-10 win. He’s third on the team in catches this season with 22 for 372 yards and

is averaging 16.9 yards a reception, which heading into Saturday’s game at Pittsburgh (4-4) is higher than the two leading wide receivers for Notre Dame (7-2). Niklas arrived at Notre Dame wanting to be a tight end, but Irish coaches started him at outside linebacker. He even started one game as a freshman, making three tackles against Michigan State. But last season he switched over to tight end and finished with five catches as he was used primarily as a blocker. Kelly rated Niklas as OK last season as a receiver and blocker, saying he wasn’t yet living up to his potential. Niklas is coming closer to meeting that potential this season. He’s coming off his best game blocking against Navy, when he also had a key 28-yard catch on third-and-8 on the game-winning touchdown drive. “I don’t think there is a bigger play in the game,” Kelly said.

CUBS: Team went 127-197 in two years under manager Sveum FROM PAGE B1

is another unproven hire by team president Theo Epstein and the Cubs after the struggling organization initially expressed interest in New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi. Girardi, a Peoria, Ill., native and Northwestern product who once played for the Cubs, signed a four-year contract worth up to $20 million to stay with New York. “Rick’s reputation is impeccable,” Epstein said. “He stood out throughout the process to lead the Chicago Cubs into our next chapter.” “You can’t find anybody in this game to say a bad or neutral word about Rick Renteria,” he said. The Cubs are relying on Renteria to improve on a 127-197 record during Dale Sveum’s two years as manager. Despite the franchise’s four consecutive losing seasons and a last-place finish in the NL Central in 2013, Renteria refused to accept the assumption that the Cubs won’t be competitive next year. The Cubs last made the playoffs in 2008 and have not won a playoff game since 2003. Under Renteria, they’ll be coming off their first last-place finish in seven seasons. Renteria, who has spent 30 years in pro ball, is the latest manager hoping to bring the Cubs their first World Series title since 1908.

“I can’t speak to what’s happened in the past,” he said. “I can only think about moving forward with the kids that we have and the product that’s being placed before us.” “I know it might sound naive, but I still believe that any team that goes in and plays between the lines has a chance to win a ballgame every single day,” he said. “If I was to come in here and assume that we were going to lose, what kind of expectations am I laying for the players who are here?” Epstein said the rest of the coaching staff with be announced in the coming days and will feature a mix of turnover and returning coaches. Renteria does have history with the Cubs’ front office, which immediately put him on its radar when the managerial position opened. General manager Jed Hoyer and senior vice president of scouting and player development Jason McLeod both worked with Renteria during their days in San Diego. “It was very clear when I was in San Diego that Rick was going to be a big league manager and pretty quickly,” Hoyer said. Renteria spent the last six seasons in San Diego, the last three as bench coach. He also has coached in the Miami Marlins organization and in March managed Mexico in the World Baseball Classic.

Jets’ Goodson indicted on weapons charges in NJ MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets running back Michael Goodson has been indicted on weapons charges stemming from a traffic stop in New Jersey. The indictments were announced Thursday by the Morris County prosecutor’s office. Goodson and Roselle resident Garant Evans were discovered by police in Denville early on the morning of May 17 in a car stopped in the middle of Interstate 80. Police say they recovered a loaded .45-caliber handgun and one hollow point bullet. Both men face a count each of unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of prohibited weapons and devices. Evans also faces another weapons count. Goodson’s attorney says his client will be exonerated. Goodson sat out four games this season for violating the NFL’s drug policy and sustained a season-ending knee injury last month against Pittsburgh.

No charges in fight involving Bucks’ Sanders MILWAUKEE (AP) — Authorities say they won’t charge anyone in a nightclub altercation that included Bucks center Larry Sanders. Sanders sat out the 109-104 win Wednesday over Cleveland with a sore thumb. The team says Sanders hurt the thumb in the team’s previous game, the loss in the home opener to Toronto. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office said it reviewed an “altercation” that happened early Sunday involving several people, including Sanders. Their statement said no one would be charged. Sanders missed practice Monday after his wife went into labor. He missed practice Tuesday with the injured thumb. Sanders signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension in the offseason after a breakout 2012-13 campaign. He’s averaging 2.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in three games this season.

Dead Cowboys player’s family sues Dallas nightclub DALLAS (AP) — The family of a Dallas Cowboys practice squad player killed in a drunken-driving crash is suing the nightclub that served him and the car’s driver. Jerry Brown’s family filed suit last week in a Dallas County court against Beamers Private Club of Dallas. The suit alleges the club served “large sums of alcohol” to Josh Brent, the former Cowboys player driving in December when his car crashed. Police in the Dallas suburb of Irving say Brent was driving with a blood-alcohol level at twice the legal limit. The lawsuit alleges Beamers Private is liable under Texas’ “dram shop” law and seeks wrongful death and other damages. The club has previously said it “promotes responsible drinking.” Brent faces a January trial on intoxication manslaughter and manslaughter charges.

McGary won’t play in opener for No. 7 Wolverines ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan center Mitch McGary will miss Friday night’s season opener against UMass-Lowell because of a lingering back problem. Coach John Beilein didn’t offer many details about McGary’s condition or progress. The 6-foot-10 sophomore was named to the AP’s preseason All-America team, but it’s not clear when he’ll be able to take the court this season. The seventh-ranked Wolverines will raise a banner Friday before the game to commemorate last season’s run to the Final Four. McGary averaged 7.5 points per game last season as a freshman, but in the NCAA tournament he averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds, helping the Wolverines reach the national championship game, which they lost to Louisville.

BY LEE H. HAMILTON

As Congress moves forward on budget negotiations, the word out of Washington is to expect nothing major: no grand bargain, just more stopgap, short-term fixes. Yet there’s one ray of hope. The House and Tax avoidance is a Senate chairs of the highly sophisticated and tax-writing lucrative business in this committees, one a country, and politicians Republican, other a address it at their peril. the Democrat, are preparing a comprehensive tax reform plan. They see the budget negotiations as their opportunity to enact much-needed changes to our bloated, off-kilter tax laws. How Congress handles this debate tells us a lot about how members approach difficult issues. That’s because this latest effort to rewrite the tax code is saddled by a deep-seated problem that spans both parties and all ideologies: political timidity. Tax avoidance is a highly sophisticated and lucrative business in this country, and politicians address it at their peril. This became clear during the summer, when the senators leading the tax-reform charge, Democrat Max Baucus of Montana and Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah, took an extraordinary step. They guaranteed senators 50 years of anonymity for any suggested changes. In other words, here’s a public issue of enormous consequence, affecting every taxpayer in the land, and they’re afraid to talk about it in public. This allowed each senator to continue attacking the tax code mess without taking any specific positions on how to improve it. Yet tax reform is meaningless without specifics. The tax code is stuffed with breaks both large and small, each with its own constituency — often a vocal, well-funded, well-organized one. Politicians who call for “tax reform” without going into specifics butter their bread on both sides — they ride the public outcry against the tax code in general, while avoiding the outcry from people hurt by the changes that tax reform would inevitably bring. After all, a “loophole” to one group is usually a “lifeline” to another. So nothing happens. Everyone knows that tax reform will involve limiting tax breaks. It should be possible to avoid the political difficulties by capping the total without eliminating specific breaks. But even this will require political backbone. Until Congress shows us that its members possess the courage to detail publicly what’s needed, talk of tax reform will be just that: talk.

Some food allergies can lead to death DEAR ABBY: I am a 25-year-old woman with a food allergy. Last year I was a guest at a Thanksgiving dinner where the host insisted I could eat the food “since there was just a little in there.” I understand that making separate food is difficult, but all I ask is that people let me know if a dish contains an ingredient that will make me sick. At best, an allergic reaction is uncomfortable. At worst, it can be life-threatening. Would you please print a message about allergy awareness before the holidays? If you do, perhaps someone will be spared what I went through. — NOT PICKY, REALLY ALLERGIC IN ILLINOIS DEAR REALLY ALLERGIC: I’m glad to raise awareness because every year there is at least one story in the media about some

Unchecked tooth decay leads to cavities your tooth — this is a cavity. Here’s a quick look at how tooth decay progresses to cavity formation. (1) Cavitycausing bacteria accumulate on the teeth. (2) These bacteria produce acid that dissolves the enamel surface of the teeth in a process called ASK deminerDOCTOR K. alization. Ordinarily, the body time to Dr. Anthony has remineralize, replenish Komaroff or the enamel. But when enough bacteria accumulate, acid dissolves enamel faster than the body can rebuild it. Tiny pits mar the surface of the tooth.

•

(3) First-stage decay, the earliest stage of decay, appears as a white or brown area on a tooth. This “white spot” is visible only to your dentist. (4) Unchecked, the acid eventually penetrates the enamel and a cavity forms. If decay is caught early enough — while it’s still an area of demineralization, or a “white spot” — the tooth may be able to repair itself. Your dentist may be able to stop the decay to give your body a chance to remineralize and repair the tooth: • Fluoride applied to the teeth in the form of a gel or varnish can boost remineralization. • Applying a gel or varnish containing a powerful antiseptic can reduce the level of cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth, slowing demineralization. • Your dentist may apply a liquid plastic sealant to create a physical barrier

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is tooth decay? Is it the same as a cavity? DEAR READER: Tooth decay is not the same as a cavity — but tooth decay can lead to the formation of a cavity. Tooth decay (also known as dental caries) originates with plaque, the sticky, bacteria-laden film that collects on your teeth between brushings. In recent years, we’ve learned that many types of bacteria produce filmy substances that act like a protective foam. Millions of bacteria live together inside the foam bubble they collectively have made. It’s their house, and helps them keep out threatening things. Protected from destruction by the film, the bacteria in plaque produce acid that gradually destroys the surface of the teeth. When decay creates a hole in the enamel — the hard outside layer of

against bacteria. Sealants can help even after there is evidence of decay. Once a cavity has formed, the emphasis shifts from prevention to restoration. The tooth cannot at this point repair itself; your dentist must correct the damage. Repair usually means cleaning out the area and filling the cavity. We live in a world full of microbes. Sometimes they ignore us, and sometimes they prey on us. Some of them actually help us. Sometimes they lie waiting for our defenses to falter and then attack. It’s like that with tooth decay and cavities: It’s best for us to keep a step or two ahead of them, through brushing and flossing and regular checkups. DR.

Senate passes gay rights bill, House in opposition WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate approved legislation outlawing workplace discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, demonstrating the nation’s quickly evolving attitude toward gay rights nearly two decades after Congress rejected same-sex marriage. Fifty-four members of the Democratic majority and 10 Republicans voted Thursday for the first major gay rights bill since Congress repealed the ban on gays in the military three years ago. The vote in favor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act was 64-32. Two opponents of a similar measure 17 years ago, Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, the presidential nominee in 2008, and Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, backed the measure this time. “We are about to make history in this chamber,” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine and a chief sponsor of the bill, said shortly before the vote. The enthusiasm of the bill’s supporters was tempered by the reality that the Republican-led House, where conservatives have a

firm grip on the agenda, is unlikely to even vote on the legislation. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, maintains his longstanding opposition to the measure, arguing that it is unnecessary and certain to create costly, frivolous lawsuits for businesses. Outside conservative groups have cast the bill as anti-family. President Barack Obama welcomed the vote and urged the House to act. “One party in one house of Congress should not stand in the way of millions of Americans who want to go to work each day and simply be judged by the job they do,” Obama said in a statement. “Now is the time to end this kind of discrimination in the workplace, not enable it.” Gay rights advocates hailed Senate passage as a major victory in a momentous year for the issue. The Supreme Court in June granted federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples, though it avoided a sweeping ruling that would have paved the way for same-sex unions nationwide. Illinois is on the verge of becoming the 15th state to legalize gay marriage along with the District of Columbia.

Supporters called the bill the final step in a long congressional tradition of trying to stop discrimination, coming nearly 50 years after enactment of the Civil Rights Act and 23 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act. “Now we’ve finished the trilogy,” Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, a chief sponsor of the disabilities law, said at a Capitol Hill news conference. The first openly gay senator, Democrat Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, called the vote a “tremendous milestone” that she will always remember throughout her time in the Senate. Democrats echoed Obama in pushing for the House to act, with Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois reminding the GOP leader of the history of his party. “The Republican Party in the United States of America came into being in the 1980s over the issue of slavery, and the man who embodied the ideals of that Republican Party was none other than Abraham Lincoln, who gave his life for his country to end discrimination,” Durbin said. “Keep that proud

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. The enthusiasm of the bill’s supporters was tempered by the reality that the Republican-led House, where conservatives have a firm grip on the agenda, is unlikely to even vote on it.
