GOOD MORNING Manufacturers more optimistic MUNSTER (AP) — Indiana’s factory owners are becoming more optimistic and willing to invest in expanding their businesses following several tough years, a new report from Indiana University researchers concludes. The survey of Indiana’s manufacturers by IU’s Kelley School of Business found that four out of five manufacturing companies consider their businesses healthy or stable. It found an estimated 70 percent of Indiana manufacturers are actively investing in capital and labor. Indiana University, Conexus Indiana, the Indiana Manufacturers Association and the accounting firm Katz, Sapper & Miller conduct an annual survey that tracks the pulse of the state’s largest industry. The study’s authors described their latest findings as signs of a manufacturing renaissance.

YMCA teams with health providers AUBURN — The YMCA of DeKalb County has announced a new partnership with DeKalb Health and Parkview Health as part of the planned YMCA expansion at 533 North St. The expanded YMCA will offer an additional 44,000 square feet of space that will focus on cardiovascular health and women’s services. As partners, the two health care providers will collaborate to expand services to community members through the YMCA with the intent to strengthen the health and well-being of DeKalb County residents.
“The YMCA has a mission to put Christian principles into practice, to grow youth development and promote healthy living,” said YMCA board member and capital campaign chair Matt Fetter. “As we look to the future and the ways in which we will be able to service this community, we are excited about the additional resources and programming options we can offer our members through this strategic partnership. DeKalb Health and Parkview Health are leaders in our community and the region for healthy living. We look forward
to providing our members with an integrated approach to healthy living by blending the expertise of the YMCA staff and state-ofthe-art facilities with the expertise of DeKalb Health and Parkview Health. This will be a world-class facility with world-class partners.” Plans for the new YMCA facilities include an expanded fitness area, a women’s wellness center, improved child care areas and indoor child play area, as well as an indoor running track, racquetball, multiple classrooms for additional programming and

Choir to sing at band state finals WATERLOO — DeKalb High School’s Classic Connection show choir will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” during all four segments of the marching band state finals Nov. 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The 54-member choir will perform before the presentation of awards for each size class. The first performance is scheduled for 12:10 p.m., with the final appearance at 9:40 p.m. “It’s going to be quite the long day,” choir director Shelley Johnson said, but she added the honor was too good to pass up. In order to accept the invitation, Johnson changed the dates for DeKalb’s fall musical, which
involves many of the choir members. “Beguiled Again,” featuring 52 songs by Broadway composers Rodgers and Hart, now will be presented Friday, Nov. 1, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. Classic Connection is the defending state champion in Class B mixed show choir and has won the state title in four of the past five years, finishing second the only time it did not win. Johnson said between performances at the band finals, the choir will be able to watch the competition from a luxury suite at the stadium, which is home to the Indianapolis Colts.
Classic Connection also has been invited to perform at Indiana Music Educators Association conference in January at Fort Wayne. The choir will present its competition show along with classical choral arrangements “to show directors you can do it all,” Johnson said. This weekend, Classic Connection is participating in the Heartland Young Singer Choral Festival at Fort Wayne sponsored by the Heartland Chamber Chorale. The DeKalb singers will join students from nine other choirs for a concert Sunday at 4 p.m. at North Side High School.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a month into a dysfunctional health care rollout, Obama administration officials said Friday they’ve found dozens of website problems that need fixing and tapped a private company to take the lead. They said most of the problems will be fixed by the end of November. Jeffrey Zients, a management consultant brought in by the White House to assess the extent of problems with the HealthCare. gov site, told reporters his review found issues across the entire system, which is made up of layers of components interacting in real time with consumers, government agencies and insurance company computers. It will take a lot of work, but “HealthCare.gov is fixable,” said Zients. The vast majority of the issues will be resolved by the end of November, he asserted, and there will be many fewer errors. He stopped short of saying the problems will go away completely. The administration also said it is promoting one of the website contractors, Quality Software Systems, Inc., to take on the role of “general contractor” shepherding the fixes.

Ball State instructor photographs state’s courthouses MUNCIE — From the hitching posts in LaGrange to the heavy foot traffic in downtown Columbus, Ball State University’s Chris Flook, a telecommunications instructor, is a witness to the variety of Indiana courthouse squares. He spent last summer driving across the state to photograph all 92 county courthouses and adjoining squares as part of Indiana Courthouse Squares (indianacourthousesquare.org). The site also provides historical information as part of an effort to document the buildings as well as prepare materials for the state’s bicentennial in 2016. “In LaGrange, you can have a BMW and recreational vehicle parked next to a horse and buggy — letting outsiders know that a great many Amish residents live there,” Flook said. “While in Columbus, you have a vibrant downtown with younger people
working and walking around because of the corporate influence of Cummins. “On the other end of the spectrum, one county in southern Indiana has maintained its courthouse, but the surrounding business district is in pretty sad shape. Many small communities suffered from recessions as well as population loss. In some places, the courthouse was located in a scary downtown filled with boarded up buildings and scarecrows looking down from above.” Flook marvels at not only the variety of small rural downtowns, but also the intricate design of the courthouses — taking visitors back to a bygone era when constructing a multistory building in the rural Midwest was a monumental task. “Most of our courthouses date back to the 1800s when the courthouse square, church, school and Main Street business district

were located within a few blocks,” Flook said. “In my opinion, the people from the Victorian era age had the right idea when they built their cities. Everything was located
so you could walk from one place to another or take the horse and buggy a few blocks.” Eighty-three communities SEE COURTHOUSES, PAGE A8

Jury sought child abuse charges against Ramseys BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A grand jury that reviewed evidence in the death of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey believed her parents were involved in the crime but didn’t say who killed the beauty queen, according to documents released Friday, 14 years after the grand jury made its recommendation. At the time, the panel recommended that both her parents be charged with child abuse resulting in death and being an accessory to a crime, including murder. However, the documents allege that both parents intended to delay or prevent the arrest of the person who killed their daughter. The proposed charges were disclosed for the first time in the documents. Prosecutors at the time declined to actually file charges against John and Patsy Ramsey, who have since been treated as victims in the case. The district attorney at the time, Alex Hunter, who
presented the evidence to the grand jury, said in 1999: “I and my prosecutorial team believe we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges against anyone who has been investigated at this time.” John Ramsey’s attorney, Hal Haddon, issued a letter earlier this week opposing release of the indictments, pointing out that Hunter’s successor, former district attorney Mary Lacy, cleared the Ramseys based on new DNA testing in 2008. He also cited Lacy’s apology in a letter to John Ramsey at the time, in which she said “no innocent person should have to endure such an extensive trial in the court of public opinion, especially when public officials have not had sufficient evidence to initiate a trial in a court of law.” Another Ramsey attorney, L. Lin Wood, said the indictments that were released are “nonsensical,” he said.

Broke US resumes spending What would you think of a person who earned $24,000 a year but spent $35,000? Suppose on top of that, he was already $170,000 in debt. You’d tell him to get his act together — stop spending so much or he’d destroy his family, impoverish his kids and wreck their future. Of course, no individual could live so irresponsibly for long. But tack on eight more zeroes to that budget and you have the checkbook for our out-of-control, big-spending federal government. Yet when Congress and President Obama agreed on a deal to raise the debt ceiling and resume government spending, people reacted as if a disaster was JOHN averted instead of reacting as if a disaster had resumed. STOSSEL It has. And it continues. Congratulating ourselves for raising the debt ceiling once again, the way we do every time this drama plays out, is like congratulating an alcoholic for talking the bartender out of cutting him off. As with alcoholics, there’s a deeper problem here. It’s not just that America is addicted to debt. Everyone agrees we should pay our bills, just not when or how. The deeper addiction is to government. For most of the history of America, federal spending never took up more than 5 percent of the economy. Spending increased during wars, but after World Wars I and II, spending dropped back to prewar levels. Then came Presidents Johnson and Nixon and the “great society.” From then on, spending rose even in peacetime. Now, if you include local government, government spending makes up more than 40 percent of the economy. “Government has exploded in size,” warned economist Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute. It happens because of “politicians promising things they cannot deliver and imposing tax burdens that are crippling private sectors.” Politicians from both parties criticize spending when they’re out of power. But then they increase spending once they’re in power. I’d forgotten that when Obama campaigned for the presidency, he was very upset about his predecessor’s deficits. Sen. Obama complained, “The way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the bank of China. … We now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back. … That is irresponsible.” I agree! $9 trillion in debt is totally irresponsible. That makes it all the more remarkable that just a few years later, under President Obama, debt increased to $17 trillion. But now, suddenly, this vast debt is no longer irresponsible. Today the president says what is irresponsible is for Congress not to constantly raise the debt ceiling. The problem isn’t just politicians. I showed people on the street a chart that documented America’s unsustainable spending. People were horrified and said government “should make cuts.” But when I asked, “What programs would you cut?” most could not name a single significant program. So let me make some suggestions: Eliminate NPR and PBS funding. Cut foreign aid. End the war on drugs. Kill Fannie and Freddie, which financed America’s mortgages and helped cause the financial crisis. Eliminate cabinet departments like Commerce, Energy, Agriculture and Education, all activities that happen without any need for the federal government. (Education is a local function, and the department spending $100 billion a year hasn’t raised test scores one bit.) Shrink the military by reducing our overseas commitments. Reform Social Security by raising the retirement age. And instead of increasing government involvement in health care, turn Medicare into a self-sustaining insurance program. But to save America from bankruptcy, we don’t even need to make all those cuts. We could grow our way out of debt if Congress simply froze spending. They won’t do that either, but if they limited spending growth to 2 percent per year, we could balance the budget in just three years. Limiting government growth is politically difficult, but if we don’t do it, America is doomed.

Letter To The Editor • What has happened to Baron football program? To the editor: As an alumnus of DeKalb High School, a former Baron football player and the parent of a future Baron, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the current state of DeKalb’s football program. DeKalb football was once a program that other teams feared playing and was a source of pride within our community. From 1982 through the 1997 season, coaches Dale Hummer and Ron Kock led the DeKalb Barons to 129 wins and only
43 losses. In that time, DeKalb won seven conference championships, five sectional championships, two regional championships, two semi-state championships, one state runner-up and one state championship. The DeKalb football program has not produced a single championship of any kind since coach Kock stepped down as head coach after the 1997 season. In fact, since the 1997 season the program has only produced three winning seasons, two .500 seasons, and has suffered 10 losing seasons. What is worse, the Barons have gone winless the past two seasons. This season the Barons had 474 points
scored against them, while only scoring 73 points themselves. What has happened to the Baron football program that was once so good? What changed that caused a football program that used to produce championship after championship to become a football program that cannot win a single game in two consecutive seasons? More importantly, how many more embarrassing seasons does the DeKalb football program have to suffer before changes are made to restore the Baron pride? When will enough be enough?

Whew, all is well except for the black cat. With all of these omens, housewives needed to help out with their kitchen herb gardens. In case you are also plagued by superstitions, here are a few ideas to help you out! Grow a patch of dill, dry it, and place it in a bag with a string and wear around it your neck close to your heart. This will ward off the “evil eye.” Growing rue will ward off the plague. A Hawthorne bush will keep you from being struck by lightning, and garlic will ward off monsters. (I’m just saying!) My favorite remedy for boils and rheumatism is to crawl through a blackberry bush (going east to west) three times. You will be healed. For the most part, I think the Saylor clan (living here over 300 years) has done OK. We seem to be normal folks. I do keep dried sage in my cupboard in case I need to get rid of evil spirits. When I burn it I get rid of my company as well! Happy Halloween!

Air travel — as usual an eventful unevent We’ve been traveling a lot the last few weeks, and it’s good to be back home. I have no horror stories to tell about terrible plane rides, traffic nightmares or bizarre customer “service” stories. Everything was incredibly normal. As usual, Sue caught an unshakeable cold, the same kind one or both of us always gets after flying. As usual, the moment the cabin door was locked, the guy two rows behind us sprayed half the cabin with a huge, deep, wet, phlegmy cough, one big enough to cover our row and many others with his toxic spew. Since the cougher is on every single flight we have ever taken, we are starting to think the airlines pay him to travel. The only real surprise is that they haven’t figured out a way to charge extra for giving passengers the flu. Yet. As usual, on every flight there were at least two screaming babies. As usual, they charged extra to check golf clubs and skis. As usual, they don’t charge anything extra for screaming babies. As
usual, we wonder why. As usual we passed several displays that said, “If your carry-on bag can’t fit in this container, you MUST check it.” As usual, they still let 15 or 20 people on each flight clog the aisle with carry-ons not JIM just bigger than the container, MULLEN but four and five times bigger than the container. As usual, the airlines refused to board the rear of the plane first. They always load the passengers seated in the front of the plane first, so people in the rear have to fight their way past them, holding up the entire boarding process. As usual, every single one of our flights was delayed. We didn’t miss any connecting flights, but, as usual, plenty of people did. As usual, there is either a two-hour wait between connecting flights or a two-minute one.
•
As usual, the only announcement we could understand over the loudspeakers was “Whoever left their laptop at the security checkpoint, please return to pick it up.” So I did. As usual, the line for the TSA checkpoint snaked around the airport. As usual, someone forgot they’d put their gun in their carry-on. As usual, there was no place to put your carry-ons in the airport restroom, or coffee shop, or waiting area, so as usual we had to set them on the floor. As usual, we hoped that was water all over the floor. Or even mostly water. As usual, there is a guy on the moving walkway talking to himself as if there’s someone right beside him. Then you see the Bluetooth earpiece and realize he’s on the phone. As usual, everyone within 20 feet of him could hear him say things like, “After the second baby, I told her to get out.” As usual, we paid $28 for two-day-old ham sandwiches and a bag of trail mix to eat on the plane. As usual, we wondered when you had to
start taking trail mix on an airplane to survive the rugged journey. Wasn’t it originally made for backpackers climbing backwoods trails where food was hard to come by? As usual, the passenger sitting in the aisle seat fell asleep with his head on the tray the moment I felt I should use the restroom. As usual, I schlepped around a heavy coat to a destination that was having unseasonably warm weather. As usual, I forgot it when I left. As usual, we were having abnormally cold weather at home. As usual, we forgot to write down where we parked the car. Was it row RR or TT Blue? Ah, there it is. In row Q Red. Luckily for us, we didn’t have any bad weather or “equipment delays.” Those can really make air travel a nightmare — not like the wonderful way it is, as usual.

Holland honoring hero BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcnews.net
WOLCOTTVILLE — On Sept. 20, 1944, Norris B. Case of Wolcottville died a hero as the U.S. Army liberated the city of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, from occupation by Nazi Germany. Four weeks from now, Nijmegen will dedicate a new bridge to the memory of Case and 47 fellow soldiers who died in the battle to control a strategic bridge over the Waal River there. Case’s niece and her family will attend the ceremony as invited guests of the Dutch city, along with dozens of relatives of other fallen U.S. soldiers. “This is the first chance we’ve had as a family to go where Norris gave his life, so it’s really special,” said Barbara Phelps, a Lakeland High School graduate who now lives in Chile. “He is entitled to be recognized, and I’m glad Holland is going to do that,” said Nancy Case of Wolcottville, who married Norris Case’s younger brother, the late Don Case. Nancy Case was 12 or 13 years old when Norris Case died, but she knew him because he had worked at a filling station and restaurant owned by her father, George Worley. “He was very ambitious,” she said about Norris Case, who was born in 1922. He picked apples, ran a milk route and served as student manager of the basketball team at Wolcottville High School. After graduation, he was working in South Bend to when he was drafted to serve in the Army during World War II. After basic training, Norris Case came back to Wolcottville on leave. “To the best of my knowledge, he was never home again,” Nancy Case said. But her husband remembered that visit for the rest of his life, cherishing the memory of hunting at nearby Woodruff with his older brother. Norris and Don Case loved hunting, hiking and fishing in LaGrange County, said Phelps, Don Case’s daughter. “He just had really fond memories of spending time with his brother,” she added about her father. Assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division as a radio operator, Norris Case saw a broad span of World War II. He began his journey in northern Africa and pushed into Sicily and Italy. Then came an assignment to England. “They stayed there, and they didn’t go on D-Day, because they were a special group that was going to go into Holland,” Nancy Case said. Operation Market Basket dropped Norris Case and his unit behind the German lines as part of the largest airborne operation in history, delivering more than 34,000 soldiers. On Sept. 20, Case’s unit arrived at Nijmegen, near the German border, to wrest control of the bridge from the Nazis. Several hundred U.S. paratroopers crossed the Waal River in rickety

did 69 years ago. A meal will allow the soldiers’ relatives to meet each other. Dedication of the bridge named De Oversteek (The Crossing) will follow on Saturday, Nov. 23. The next day, the guests will tour a museum devoted to World War II and the cemetery where Norris Case was buried temporarily and many U.S. soldiers remain. The newspaper in Nijmegen has published stories profiling the lives of all the fallen U.S. soldiers for whom it could find details, including Case. Norris Case received a Bronze Star and Purple Heart medal, and a memorial stone in a Wolcottville park lists his name along with two other local soldiers who died in World War II. Dedication of the bridge will add a new honor for Case. “I think he certainly earned it. He did get the Bronze Star. In my opinion, it should have been a higher honor,” Nancy Case said. “I know that in many places in Europe, they were very thankful, for what our soldiers did.”

Region • Judge considers tossing testimony FORT WAYNE (AP) — An Indiana judge says he will consider a request from a suspended Indianapolis police officer facing reckless homicide and other charges that the testimony of a police captain be thrown out because the captain read email summaries of the case before testifying. But The Indianapolis Star reports Allen Superior Judge John Surbeck said Friday it was unlikely he would do so, even though Wednesday he reprimanded the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department after learning a police major had been emailing daily summaries of Officer David Bisard’s trial to five department leaders.
He did reiterate, however, that the actions by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department regarding the emails were “extraordinarily unprofessional, wrong and should not have happened.” Surbeck was concerned officers’ testimony could be influenced by what other witnesses have said.
Two die in crash ELKHART — Two women died Friday after their SUV slid on an icy bridge in Elkhart County,
according to news reports. The Elkhart Truth reports Dawn Leatherman, 47, of Elkhart was driving a black SUV north on C.R. 5 when her vehicle struck the bridge’s concrete barrier before swerving across the center line. The SUV crashed into pickup truck heading south on C.R. 5. The passenger in the SUV, Alice Barnes, 70, of Elkhart, was pronounced dead at the scene. Leatherman was extricated and taken to Elkhart General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

boats under heavy fire. A letter Gen. James Gavin wrote to Case’s family described what he called Case’s “heroic action” on that day. Gavin said a lieutenant commanding Case’s group was hit by artillery fire, and Case went to rescue him. “After two attempts, he needed to retreat because of heavy incoming artillery fire, but, on his third attempt he reached his platoon commander,” Gavin wrote. “While he administered first aid, he was hurt himself by shrapnel of a grenade. During his rescue attempts, Case never failed his (duties) as a radio operator. He kept his commander informed of the situation with the enemy. “With his unselfishness and voluntary action in a life-threatening situation, Case placed himself in the highest traditions of the Army,” Gavin concluded. In spite of Case’s efforts, his commander, Lt. Edward Wisniewski, died a couple of days later from his wounds. Back in Wolcottville, “It was hard for our little place,” to receive the news of Case’s death, Nancy Case said. Norris Case was buried in Holland for five years before his body was returned for a funeral and burial in Woodruff. The family relived the tragedy all over again, Phelps said. Making the situation worse, her father was drafted for the Korean War shortly afterward. “It was very, very hard for him to lose him. He just missed him his entire life,” Phelps said about her father’s loss of his brother. Next month in Nijmegen, a 2,000-year-old city of 165,000 people, Phelps will attend the bridge dedication ceremonies with her husband and their son and daughter-in-law, who live in Switzerland. On Friday, Nov. 22, the visitors will cross the Waal in boats as the U.S. soldiers

Neither party expects major budget agreement WASHINGTON (AP) — On this, GOP budget guru Rep. Paul Ryan and top Senate Democrat Harry Reid can agree: There won’t be a “grand bargain” on the budget. Instead, the Wisconsin Republican and the Nevada Democrat both say the best Washington can do in this bitterly partisan era of divided government is a small-ball bargain that tries to take the edge off of automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. Official Capitol Hill negotiations start next week, but Ryan and Reid both weighed in Thursday to tamp down any expectations that the talks might forge a large-scale agreement where several previous high-level talks have failed. Long-standing, entrenched differences over
taxes make a large-scale budget pact virtually impossible, according to lawmakers, their aides and observers who will be monitoring the talks. Republicans say they simply won’t agree to any further taxes atop the 10-year, $600 billionplus tax increase on upper-income earners that President Barack Obama and Democrats muscled through Congress in January. Without higher taxes, Democrats say they won’t yield to cuts in benefit programs like Medicare. “If we focus on some big, grand bargain then we’re going to focus on our differences, and both sides are going to require that the other side compromises some core principle and then we’ll get nothing done,” Ryan, who chairs the House
Budget Committee, said in an interview Thursday. “So we aren’t focusing on a grand bargain because I don’t think in this divided government you’ll get one.” In an interview Thursday with Nevada public radio station KNPR, Reid, the Senate majority leader, agreed that a large-scale grand bargain wasn’t in the cards. “They have their mind set on doing nothing, nothing more on revenue, and until they get off that kick, there’s not going to be a grand bargain,” Reid said. Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., are two of the key congressional figures in the talks. They both say they’re seeking common ground between the parties’ sharply different budgets.
Europeans want end to spying BRUSSELS (AP) — Indignant at reports of U.S. electronic espionage overseas, the leaders of Germany and France said Friday they will insist the Obama administration agree by year’s end to limits that could put an end to alleged American eavesdropping on foreign leaders, businesses and innocent citizens. German spy chiefs will travel to Washington shortly to talk with U.S. officials about the spying allegations that have so angered European leaders, including whether Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s own cellphone was monitored by the National Security Agency. Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, at the final day of a European Union summit in Brussels, did not offer many specifics on what they want President Barack Obama and his intelligence chiefs to agree to. A former French counterintelligence agent, however, told The Associated Press the European allies will likely demand the Americans sign off on a “code of good conduct” for intelligence-gathering,

and could use the espionage dispute as leverage against the United States in upcoming trade talks. “I think France and Germany would want guidelines,” said Claude Moniquet, who now directs the Brussels-based European Strategic and Intelligence Center. But he was dubious there would be much change in intelligence agencies’ real-world behavior. “Everyone swears on the Bible,” Moniquet said. “And after that it’s business as usual.” This week alone, there have been headlines in the European press about the U.S. scooping up millions of French telephone records and perhaps listening in on Merkel’s calls. A British newspaper said it obtained a confidential memo indicating that the personal communications of up to 35 foreign leaders may have been subject to U.S snooping in 2006. Friday, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in Brussels that he had instructed his foreign minister to summon the U.S. ambassador in Spain to obtain information on news reports that Spain has been a target of U.S. spying.
SOUTH BEND — A hearing to negate Angola’s laws and actions against a strip club owner was not concluded in U.S. District Court for Northern Indiana in South Bend on Friday. The hearing, part of a suit between Alva and Sandra Butler against the city of Angola, concluded shortly before 5 p.m. when Judge Robert Miller decided to continue it to Nov. 13 at 1:30 p.m. In March the Butlers sued the city, claiming their First Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution have been violated by Angola’s efforts to stop them from opening a Showgirl strip club at 310 W. Wendell Jacob Ave. The key issues before the court Friday centered on how Angola building commissioner Dean Twitchell and plan director Vivian Likes applied and interpreted laws as they related to Butler and his company, BBL Inc., and his efforts to convert the former Slider’s Grill and Bar to a strip club. Butler is founder of the Showgirl clubs in Fort Wayne and currently owns Showgirl III. Twitchell and Likes are named as defendants in the case, too. When Butler bought Sliders in August 2012, strip clubs were allowed in C-2 zoning, which covered his property. After a new ordinance was enacted in November 2012, such clubs are allowed in industrial zoning districts. Butler’s attorneys maintain the city has tried to prevent him from opening a strip club by their interpretation and changing of city laws. The city’s attorneys argue that Angola was well within its power as a municipality to enact and enforce laws. The hearing ended with Likes being cross-examined. This is to continue on Nov. 13, plus Butler’s attorneys plan to recall one witness. After that, the attorneys will provide closing statements. Friday’s hearing started at 9:30 a.m. and concluded at 5 p.m. There was a break for lunch and an interruption
for a 20-minute criminal proceeding. In the hearing on the motion for a preliminary injunction — which if approved, technically would allow Butler to open — much of the testimony centered on Twitchell’s interaction with Butler, his son, James, and contractors working on their behalf. The Butlers maintained Twitchell spent much time at the Showgirl building, to the point that James Butler claimed through small talk he got to know all about Twitchell’s family, including his wife and grandchildren. Twitchell said he only visited the premises on three occasions in September and October of 2012. Alva Butler purchased the property at auction on Aug. 9, 2012. One of the key issues concerned whether Butler was allowed to start making certain alterations inside the building that would require a building permit. The Butlers and two workers from the construction company that was working at the site said Twitchell approved the removal and reconstruction of a load-bearing wall. Twitchell testified he did not and never would do such a thing. Twitchell said he followed up each of his visits with emails to James Butler and Sara Seibert, Alva Butler’s attorney. In Sept. 27, 2012, email, Twitchell writes about how certain work could be done without a permit, but that the project was getting to the point that engineered drawings, state approval and other permits would be needed, along with a city building permit. Twitchell maintained that the Oct. 1 email included the message that work needed to stop until permits were received. The email’s text did not specifically say there was any unlawful activity or that the work was to stop, other than referencing state codes that include language about stop work orders. Twitchell testified that he gave a verbal stop work order on Oct. 1 prior to
specifically putting the order in writing in an Oct. 22 email. This came after an Oct. 17 letter from Seibert that asked for a meeting in order to settle differences and avoid a federal lawsuit. During sometimes heated cross-examination, Showgirl attorney Bradley Shafer asked much about Twitchell’s operating procedures and why he did not post a stop work order at the site. “I did not post it,” Twitchell said. Likes was questioned about the timing of interaction between her office and Butler and his various attorneys and the changing of laws as they related to sexually oriented businesses, which occurred after Butler’s intentions became known to the city. Angola attorney Scott Bergthold asked Likes why it took her nearly a month to respond to Butler’s Nov. 7 application for an improvement location permit. “I felt we were threatened with a lawsuit, so I took my time with this,” Likes said. Between the time Butler filed for his permit and receiving a denial, the city’s zoning code regarding sexually oriented businesses changed. Questioning also centered on Likes’ opinion that the yet-to-be-built Steuben County Multi-Use Trail that would run near the Showgirl site constituted a public gathering place. Because it would have been within 750 feet of the facility, that would have not allowed placement of a sexually oriented business under the city’s previous land use ordinance. Likes testified that the trail would be a public gathering spot because it connected city parks. Butler attorney Matthew Hoffer implied through his questioning that if roads connected city parks, as would the trail, then roads would be considered public gathering places, too. Likes testified roads were not public gathering places. During this line of questioning, the hearing came to a close.
HEALTH: No statistics on successful enrollments FROM PAGE A1
for two components of the website, a major linchpin that works relatively well, and an accounts registration feature that froze and caused many of the initial problems. HealthCare.gov was supposed to be the online portal for uninsured Americans to get coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Touted as the equivalent of Amazon.com for health insurance, it became a huge bottleneck immediately upon launch Oct. 1. The flop turned into an embarrassment for Obama and will likely end up as a case study of how government technology programs can go awry. The briefing from Zients came a day after executives of QSSI and the other major contractor, CGI Federal, told Congress that the government didn’t fully test
the system and ordered up last-minute changes that contributed to clogging the system. Next week, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is scheduled to testify. Zients gave some new details about the extent of the problems, but administration officials are still refusing to release any numbers on how many people have successfully enrolled. Although 700,000 have applied for coverage through the new online markets, it’s believed only a fraction of that number actually managed to sign up. Prior to the website going live, an administration estimate projected nearly 500,000 people would sign up in October alone. The marketplaces are the gateway to obtaining health insurance under the new health care law, which
requires most Americans to have coverage by Jan. 1. Middle-class people who don’t have insurance on the job can purchase a private plan with new tax credits to make the premiums more affordable. Low-income people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that agree to extend the safety net program. The federal government is running the insurance markets or taking the lead in 36 states. The rest were set up by states themselves. Zients said almost daily fixes are already having an impact. For example, over 90 percent of users can now complete one of the first steps, creating an account. But the application process, which involves submitting and verifying personal information and income details, remains “volatile,” he said.

disasters (Crawford and White) or choice (Cass, Clark, Delaware, Floyd, Madison and Marion). Martin and Perry counties have retained their original structures as part of historical societies but have modern buildings to serve government business. Flook has shared the collection with the Indiana Department of Tourism, hoping the photographs raise awareness of the historical significance of Indiana’s courthouse squares and possibly lead to economic development.
“Indiana is full of fantastic small, rural communities that are wonderful places to live but need rallying points,” he said. “The town square can continue to be important from a business and societal standpoint. In many communities, you have farmers markets and festivals bringing people to the square, boosting business development. I think people would be more inclined to live and work in a small Hoosier town if they knew what there was to offer.”

ANGOLA — The DeKalb football team found itself with a chance to win in the fourth quarter, a rare occasion this season, in Friday night’s Class 4A Sectional 19 tilt against Angola. But the host Hornets forced the Barons into two stalled drives in the red zone, one in the third quarter and another in the fourth, as Angola scored a late insurance touchdown to take a 21-7 victory. “The defense played a heck of a game, but we just haven’t been able to put the offense and the defense together on the same day,” said DeKalb coach Mike DeVos. Angola (6-4) moves on to play Bishop Dwenger (7-3), 28-3 winners over Northridge. The story of the game was the Hornet defense, holding DeKalb to 24 yards of total offense. The Barons (0-10) had negative yards on the night until Logan Williams hit Jordan Isaac on a 48-yard pass with 1:48 left in the game. Angola coach Josh Schoeff said the team’s defense has been a calling card in 2013. “That’s kind of been our M.O. all season,” Schoeff said. “We really turn things over to our defense. You started to see our offense was starting to pick things up. But all season long, we knew our defense was going to be something special.” Angola finished the game with

327 yards of total offense, 230 coming on the ground. Simon Gardner led Angola with 116 yards rushing while Austin Bauer chipped in 67. Bauer also had 58

Late in the third, the Eagles increased their lead to 21-7 as Conwell scored from the four with 4:01 remaining. The big play in this drive was a 40-yard run by Beau Barkley to the Eastside 10.

MONROEVILLE — Friday night’s finish between Garrett and Heritage in Class 3A Sectional 27 action was nothing short of dramatic. Heritage’s Branson Dossen scored on a 14-yard touchdown run with five seconds left to give the Patriots a come-from-behind 41-38 victory over the Railroaders Friday night. The Railroaders (4-6) had taken the lead with 51 seconds left on a three-yard TD run by Noah Follett. But it wasn’t enough. “I think that’s as well as this team’s played this year. If anything, I’m happy that they played their best game in their last game,” said Garrett head coach Chris DePew. “They played to win from the beginning to the end. It just wasn’t enough as it turns out. We just didn’t make plays on defense in the last 50 seconds.” The game went back-and-forth for much of the night. Garrett took a 31-21 lead in the third quarter, with Karsten Cooper hauling in a 60-yard TD pass from Follett and Bo Davis scoring on a four-yard run. But Heritage came right back with a 16-yard pass from Dossen to Conner Bleke and a Dossen two-yard TD run. Garrett’s senior quarterback, Follett, had one of the best games of his career. He completed 14 of 23 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 106 yards and two scores, finishing with 316 yards of total offense. “He’s a special kid. A great person, very representative of his family and his team and his school,” DePew said. “He really

CHURUBUSCO — Senior running backs Kane Johnson and Cody Conwell combined for 354 yards rushing, leading the Class 2A No. 9 Churubusco Eagles to a 28-13 win over the Eastside Blazers in Sectional 34 action at Churubusco Friday. The Eagles (8-2) will visit Bremen (7-3) next Friday. The Lions were 49-21 winners over Manchester. Johnson finished with 17 carries for 197 yards, with 160 yards coming in the first half.

The Blazers finished with 226 rushing yards. The Blazers scored first, as Dean broke loose for a 48-yard TD run before the game was two minutes old. Churubusco’s Conwell answered with a one-yard plunge on the Eagles’ first possession. With the score knotted in the second quarter and the ball deep in the Churubusco end, Johnson followed his blockers on a sweep to the right. One big block sent

of our offensive production,” Schoeff said. “The thing that I’ve learned from a lot of coaches that have been very successful is that it doesn’t matter how it looks. It’s how you get the ‘W’ and you’re playing another week. Hopefully this is the start of something we can build on for next week.” Despite that yardage dominance, DeKalb never let the contest out of its sight. Trailing 14-0 in the third quarter, the Barons cut the lead in half when Angola QB Jacob Roddy fumbled on his own 31-yard line and DeKalb’s Denton Gamble picked it up and took it to the house for a scoop-and-score. Angola then fumbled on its next possession, also recovered by DeKalb, and the Barons found themselves 20 yards from a tie game. After a run for -2 yards and an incompletion, DeKalb QB Harrison Price was picked off by Bauer in the end zone. The Hornets would get an insurance touchdown with 3:01 left in the game when Gardner scored from two yards out for a 21-7 advantage. But DeKalb made things interesting on its last drive, with Williams’ pass to Isaac putting the Barons with 1st-andgoal at the 7. But the Barons tallied -19 yards on the next three plays and couldn’t punch it in. “I can’t say enough about this

Notre Dame braces for Air Force’s option offense AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — The name of Air Force’s starting quarterback doesn’t scare Notre Dame nearly as much as the offensive scheme. The Falcons (1-6, 0-5 Mountain West) have yet to announce which backup QB will be under center when they try to end a six-game slide on Saturday against the Fighting Irish (5-2). It could be Nate Romine, a fourth stringer when the season began who’s rapidly moved up the depth chart due to injuries and an academic ineligibility. Or it possibly may be Karson Roberts — the backup to the backup out of fall camp — as he returns from a concussion he suffered two weeks ago against San Diego State. No matter, the Irish are simply preparing for the
structure of Air Force’s hard-to-defend triple-option offense, not so much the starter. “For us, (that’s) the most important element,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. “The quarterback certainly is part of that scheme and so when we look at both of the quarterbacks that have played in the last game, the last couple of games, it really, for us, is not as important as preparation for the scheme.” Notre Dame has some quarterback concerns of its own, with Tommy Rees leaving a 14-10 win over USC last Saturday in the third quarter with a strained neck. But Rees looked solid in practice this week and is expected to play. “It was good to have Tommy out there,” Kelly said. “He took all the
first-team reps (Thursday) and he looked really good.” Still, backup Andrew Hendrix received more time than usual with the first-team offense, just in case. “I liked what he did. A lot more confident,” Kelly said. Here are five things to know as Notre Dame goes for its seventh straight win at Falcon Stadium: OH, BROTHER: With nose guard Louis Nix III not making the trip due to knee tendinitis, there’s a good chance Isaac Rochell could receive more playing time. He may also line up against his brother, Air Force sophomore left tackle Matt Rochell. The brothers are from McDonough, Ga. “I think more than anything else he’s excited about playing, whether he’s playing against his brother or not, he knows he’s getting into the game,”
Kelly said. “We’ve talked about being prepared for the game.” DON’T CALL IT A RIVALRY: Air Force coach Troy Calhoun smirked when someone asked him if he ever saw the movie, “Rudy,” the ultimate underdog story of Notre Dame defensive player Rudy Ruettiger who made the Fighting Irish team through sheer determination. “It’s a good one,” Calhoun said. But Calhoun didn’t so much as crack even a tiny smile when the subject of Notre Dame being a rival was mentioned. The Irish are 23-6 overall against Air Force and 12-2 at Falcon Stadium. “I don’t think they see that at all,” Calhoun said. HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE?: Calhoun expects to see plenty of gold
and blue in the stands on Saturday simply because the Fighting Irish fans always travel well. “That’s a possibility,” Calhoun said. This has been a challenging season for Calhoun’s squad, which must win out to become eligible for a seventh straight bowl appearance. Asked if an upset of Notre Dame would make up for all the losses, Calhoun said: “It’s not the way we live. I want to see how well-educated we can be. I want to see how hard we can play. I want to see younger guys improve and develop as football players. More importantly, I want to see how many seniors we can graduate. That better be the drive of every young man that’s part of our program.” TUITT’S RISE: Irish defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt just may be one of
the best in the country, on the same level as South Carolina standout Jadeveon Clowney even. That’s Calhoun’s opinion anyway after watching film of Tuitt, who had seven tackles and two sacks against USC last weekend. “He’s a tremendous player,” Calhoun said. LONG BREAK: The Falcons have had two weeks to prepare for the Irish. Kelly expects to see plenty of twists in Air Force’s play calling, maybe even a little bit of both quarterbacks. “There’s plenty of time to have them both prepared and ready to expand that package a little bit,” Kelly said. This is an offense that’s tough to stop, especially with so little time to prepare. “It really slows you down and forces you to play assignment football,” Kelly said of Air Force’s run-oriented system.
Come October, it’s time to play through the pain ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carlos Beltran was determined to stay in the lineup, bruised ribs or not. The St. Louis Cardinals right fielder was hurt in his World Series debut when he banged against the right-field wall while robbing David Ortiz of a grand slam. But
Beltran received an injection of the painkiller Toradol and then got a big RBI single as the Cardinals won 4-2 Thursday to tie the Series at one game apiece. “Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to get out of the lineup,” said Beltran, undeterred by the
injury that landed him in the hospital a night earlier. Players who would sit out during the regular season with similar injuries will go to great lengths to remain on the field in October. A look at some other players who played through
pain in the World Series: CURT SCHILLING: After tearing a tendon sheath in right ankle in the 2004 AL division series against the Angels, Schilling was injected with a painkiller and allowed six runs in the AL championship opener against the
Yankees. After the Red Sox pushed his next start back by a game, doctors put in three sutures to hold down the tendon temporarily, Schilling received an injection of painkiller and won Game 6 as blood seeped through his bloody sock. Speaking about the
morning of Game 2 of the World Series against St. Louis, Schilling said: “I wasn’t going to pitch. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t move.” Doctors put in sutures again, and he gave up four hits and an unearned run over six innings in another victory.

team and how they didn’t quit,” DeVos said. “A lot of teams that get down 14-0, they fold up. But not this team. I’m very proud of them. “Unfortunately, we had several guys at different positions this week. We had some injuries and some different instances. We had our bright spots but we just couldn’t click.” Angola scored on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter. Troy Zvirblis’ 5-yard run gave the Hornets a 7-0 lead. One play later, Angola recovered a fumble on the DeKalb 29. Three plays later, Zvirblis
had his second 5-yard TD run of the night to put the Hornets ahead 14-0. Gamble led DeKalb’s rushing attack with 15 yards on 10 attempts. For the game, the Barons had 25 carries for -28 yards, as sacks and errant shotgun snaps attributed to that total. DeKalb finishes its season with an 0-10 record, the Barons’ third winless season in four years. “I can’t say enough about these seniors,” DeVos said. “They’ve stuck through a lot of adversity in their time here and even this year, they’ve really been the glue of this team.”

Blazers methodically moved the ball, mixing just enough passing with solid runs by the shifty Dean and speedy Renier. Dean ran twice for nice gains into Eagle territory, and completed two passes to Renier as the Blazers reached the Eagle 17. Three plays into the fourth quarter, Dean squirted into the end zone. The Eagles managed to deflect Kyle Franz’s extra point kick, and maintained a 21-13 lead with plenty of football left. Eastside needed a stop or a turnover, and the defense delivered on Churubusco’s next possession. The Eagles were twice called for holding, and at the Eastside 15, Johnson coughed up the football, with the Blazers
recovering. With 7:17 to play and backed up in its own end, Eastside figured this might be its last chance with the game still in reach. Churubusco knew it too, and nearly intercepted Eastside’s Conner Dove on a first-down pass. A holding penalty cost the Blazers valuable yardage. Two short runs and a Dean-to-Jesse Eck completion fell short of first-down yardage, and the Eagles took over with 3:58 to play. Barkley put the game out of reach, scoring on the very next play. Taylor Fisher’s extra point made it 28-13. Eastside threatened to draw closer in the final minutes, but Barkley intercepted a tipped Dove pass in the end zone with 2:31 remaining.

Orr, Enroth lead Sabres SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres got the lead for a change, and held onto it thanks to a stellar performance in goal by Jhonas Enroth. Steve Ott scored the go-ahead goal, Enroth made 44 saves and the Sabres beat the Florida Panthers 3-1 Friday night to win for just the second time in 12 games and break a three-game losing streak. Rasmus Ristolainen and Cody Hodgson also scored for Buffalo.
Coming into the game, the Sabres (2-9-1) had led for only 9 minutes, 35 seconds this season, in their game against Tampa Bay on Oct. 8. Their other win was in a shootout against the New York Islanders on Oct. 15. Enroth withstood a steady barrage from the Panthers, who took a season-high 45 shots. He only stumbled once when Jesse Winchester batted the puck out of the air in front and into the net for Florida’s goal.
“I think I played a pretty perfect game . well, it was a perfect game, that goal they scored is one out of a hundred I think, so it was a good game for me,” Enroth said. “I don’t think they can do that play over again.” The Sabres went ahead 2-1 at 12:42 in the third on Ott’s goal. Christian Ehrhoff took a shot from the point and Ott was able to tip it past Jacob Markstrom. Hodgson scored an empty-net goal with 47 seconds left.

The Nets went 5-2 in the preseason, the Heat 5-3.
Paul Pierce scored 16 points and Jason Terry added 14 for the Nets, who made 11 of 16 tries from 3-point range in the first half and eventually led by as many as 31. Brooklyn played without Kevin Garnett (rest) and Andrei Kirilenko (back). “I felt really good. I’m happy to be back out there,” Williams said. “It was great. I’ve been missing basketball. It was another step in

Michael Beasley scored 11 for the Heat. James and Bosh got the night off to rest. “Well, we’ve got four days,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We’ve got four days to get ready.
And we’ve had a productive October so our guys are looking forward to Tuesday.” The Heat will hoist the franchise’s third NBA championship banner on Tuesday night before opening the season at home against the Chicago Bulls. Brooklyn opens Wednesday at Cleveland. Other than Garnett, the Nets went with their anticipated opening-night lineup.

World Series scene shifts, Cards right at home ST. LOUIS (AP) — From the Green Monster to the Gateway Arch. From the Charles River to the mighty Mississippi. From clam chowder to toasted ravioli. The World Series scene is shifting, and St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright couldn’t be happier. “We love Cardinal country,” he said Friday. For good reason, too. After Boston split the first two games at Fenway Park, now Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and the rest of the Red Sox will get to see what makes this place so special. Especially in October. “Well, we love playing here at Busch Stadium. Like I said, it’s a sea of red,” pitcher Joe Kelly said. The free-spirited Kelly was set to start Game 3 tonight against Jake Peavy. “This is what I’ve lived for my whole life — my whole baseball career, I should say,” Peavy said. “I’m as prepared as I’ll ever be — physically, mentally.” Also warmed up: A team of eight Clydesdales, ready to pull a red beer wagon around the warning track before the first pitch. It’s also a tradition for fans to gather early at the Musial statue — there are two honoring Stan the Man, actually. Red Sox closer Koji Uehara took a moment to soak it all in. As he walked onto the field for a workout, the first-time visitor looked at the gleaming Arch hovering high beyond the center-field fence. The Cardinals rely on a lot more than pomp when they play in their own park. They led the NL in scoring while going 54-27 at Busch, and then let pitching take over in the postseason.

five wins, opponents scored a total of five runs. Boston has hit just .188 so far in the Series, with David Ortiz providing the biggest bop. He’s homered in both games and is 4 for 6 overall with five RBIs. With no designated hitter in the National League park, Ortiz will switch to first base. Manager John Farrell wouldn’t say whether Ortiz would start there for every game in St. Louis, but it’s a good guess

regular first baseman Mike Napoli will be on the bench for a while. Farrell also said lefty-swinging Daniel Nava would start in left field instead of Jonny Gomes, who is 0 for 7 so far. “Obviously David’s bat, at all costs, needs to be in the lineup,” Peavy said. “David is a game-changer. He’s as clutch as anybody I can remember playing with or against.”
“It just seems like he has a flair for the dramatic. When the situation is the biggest, he’s at his best,” he said. Ortiz hit a two-run homer off rookie sensation Michael Wacha in Game 2 that put Boston ahead 2-1 in the sixth inning, but St. Louis rallied in the seventh for a 4-2 win. The Red Sox will spend this weekend at the stadium a few blocks from the Mississippi River. “I believe our ballpark is very fair. I don’t think there’s one thing that would make our team any more effective in this park than any other,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “It’s not like there’s the oddities, like a Green Monster or deep corners and gaps.” “But you can’t help but buy into the atmosphere, especially when you’re at home and every single thing you do gets such a positive response,” he said. Kelly is glad to be home, all the way around. “You get to sleep in your own bed. You get to do what you normally do on a regular basis,” he said. “If you get coffee in the morning, you go to your coffee shop. It’s just a comfort level to know that it’s your home away from your offseason home.” For the Red Sox, this is their first visit to St. Louis since Ortiz hit a home run on June 8, 2005, in a win at the previous Busch Stadium. The new park opened the next year. Kelly also had some friendly advice for Boston’s first-time visitors. It involved a local favorite, a food that many are certain started in this city. “Find some toasted raviolis, eat some. Those are good, especially in St. Louis,” he said.
SPORTS BRIEFS • National Guard renews sponsorship of Earnhardt CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Army National Guard has extended its sponsorship of Dale Earnhardt Jr. through the 2014 season with Hendrick Motorsports. The Guard will be the primary sponsor of the No. 88 Chevrolet for 20 Sprint Cup races, including the Daytona 500. Hendrick Motorsports said Friday the Guard will also have prominent brand placement during all non-primary events. The guard has been partnered with NASCAR’s most popular driver since he joined Hendrick Motorsports in 2008. HMS said recent research showed 85 percent of those who enlisted or re-enlisted in the National Guard since 2007 agree that professional sports are beneficial to its overall efforts to attract and retain soldiers. A majority of respondents were exposed to recruiting or retention materials incorporating NASCAR and had seen NASCAR leveraged at a recruiting center or event. Earnhardt is a 10-time most popular driver. PepsiCo is committed to the No. 88 team with sponsorship of five primary races annually through the 2015 Sprint Cup season. Hendrick Motorsports said additional sponsorship will be announced at a later date.
Pocono extends IndyCar race to 500 miles LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Pocono Raceway is extending the length of its IndyCar race to 500 miles. IndyCar’s return this year was a 400-mile race, in part to fit the event into a broadcast window. The race was part of the “Triple Crown” challenge in which a driver could win a $1 million bonus by sweeping the Indianapolis 500, the Pocono race, and the season finale at Fontana.
Truck Series returns to Gateway and New Hampshire DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR will return the Truck Series to Gateway Motorsports Park and New Hampshire Motor Speedway as part of a 22-race schedule next season. The race at Gateway will be the first since 2010. The track hosted the series from 1998 through 2010, and its June 14 race will be the first since St. Louis native Curtis Francois bought Gateway, which is in Madison, Ill., just outside St. Louis.

Higher yields put grain industry back to work WEST LAFAYETTE — A return to better crop-production weather and larger corn and soybean yields have combined to give much of Indiana’s grain-handling industry a full workload after the 2012 drought left it with little grain to store, transport or process. Indiana has nearly 1.3 billion bushels of grain storage capacity, and
according to Purdue University estimates, about 30 percent of it sat idle last year. That represents the largest underutilization of the state’s grain storage capacity since the 1988 drought. “The annual value of the Indiana grain industry at the farm level is nearly $10 billion, so to not use 30 percent of the capacity
had considerable economic impacts across rural communities in terms of lost jobs and reduced hours for workers,” said Chris Hurt, Purdue Extension agricultural economist. Grain storage is a fixed capacity, meaning the associated costs continue even if there isn’t enough grain production to use it all. That capacity has to be
Cattle prices continue to climb WEST LAFAYETTE — Expectations of tight beef cattle supplies and strong demand are pushing cattle prices higher this fall — a trend that could continue for the foreseeable future, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt says. Finished cattle prices hit their summer lows in early August at slightly below $120 per hundredweight, but have climbed back toward $130 in anticipation of small beef supplies in the coming year. According to Hurt, per capita beef supplies, or the amount of beef available per person in the U.S., likely will be down by about 5 percent for the rest of this year and on into next. High cattle prices combined with low feed prices — corn hit $4.32 per bushel on Oct. 14 — likely means the small number of available calves could be placed on feedlots at lighter weights than a year ago when feed prices were high. “Lower priced feed and the expectations for increasing finished cattle prices over the next four to five months should also encourage feedlot managers to feed to heavier weights,” Hurt said. Low cattle numbers mean feedlots and packing facilities have a lot of unused capacity. Capacity is a fixed cost that doesn’t go away with limited cattle supplies. “The combination of excess capacity and high fixed costs means that both will tend to bid strongly for the limited cattle numbers,” Hurt said. “Ultimately, this strong bidding gets back to the brood cow producer in the form of record-high calf and feeder cattle prices. “Unfortunately, these conditions also mean that the margins for both packers and feedlots, while better than in the past year, will still be narrow and likely less than their total costs.” Strong cattle prices and aggressive bidding by feedlots and packers are likely to lead to a year or more of additional downsizing. Some cattle producers in areas with healthy pastures could start retaining heifers as early as this fall. But in dry regions, which represent about 45 percent of the brood-cow herd, expansion won’t begin until weather becomes more favorable and pastures recover. “If beef cow numbers begin to slowly turn upward in 2014, downsizing of cattle feeding capacity might end in 2015 and the packing industry by 2016,” Hurt said.
in place for high-production years, but in low-production years similar to 2012, it comes with continuing costs and no returns. The economic implications weren’t limited to just grain storage, though. Processors of biofuels, food, animal feed and other products made from corn and soybeans also slowed production because of a lack
of grain and extremely high prices for grain that was available. “Indiana is a major grain processing state, so those industries are now returning that idled capacity to work after periods of shutdown in the past year,” Hurt said. The drivers behind that return to work are a corn crop that’s expected to be near a record-high 1

FALL HARVEST CONTINUES

Farmers across the Midwest including northeast Indiana are putting their machines to maximum use as the harvest of various grains continue. This Steuben County farmer had
to take time out recently to do a little maintenance on his harvester.
Minor bulbs extend spring color show Even though winter isn’t even here yet, even though it has felt like it at times this week, I am already looking forward to my spring bulb display. Rosie B ELYSIA Lerner, Purdue RODGERS Extension consumer horticulturist, provides insight into even more little-known bulbs that help accentuate spring flowers we already love. Tulips, daffodils and crocus are stars of spring in Midwestern flower gardens. But there’s an array of supporting players, often referred to as “minor” bulbs, that can add variety to your spring bulb display. Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) brings a splash of yellow, buttercup-type blooms on dwarf, 3-6 inch

plants. Winter aconite is appropriately named for its early arrival, often pushing its blossoms through a cover of snow in February, though sometimes as early as January and as late as March. Plants do well in partial shade to full sun, though they do need a good supply of moisture if in full sun. Snowdrops (Galanthus sp.) are perfectly named for their snow-white blossoms that gracefully nod toward the ground, which is often still covered with the winter white stuff. Snowdrops are best planted in partial shade. Glory of the Snow (Chiondoxa sp.) brings clusters of star-shaped blooms in purple, rose or white in late winter or early spring. Glory of the Snow performs best in full sun. Squill (Scilla sp.) includes a number of species of early spring bloomers, and though the blue squill is the most common, there are also white and pink selections. Several species are native to woodland
billion bushels this year and near-normal soybean production around 250 million bushels. Hurt said the combination of the two crops will use nearly all of the state’s storage space. “We expect about a 5 percent underutilization, and it turns out that over the last several decades, that’s been about normal,” he said.
habitats and do best in partial shade. Striped Squill (Puschkinia scilloides) blooms about the same time as snowdrops and has pale periwinkle blue-striped petals. Striped squill tolerates full sun to part shade and prefers moderately moist, but well-drained soil. Summer snowflake (Leucojum sp.) blooms a bit later in mid to late spring, with white, nodding flowers accented at each petal tip with a greenish-yellow splotch. Summer snowflake does well in partial shade to full sun. Although many gardeners are familiar with the large, lollipop types of Alliums (ornamental onion), the lesserknown Lily Leek (Allium moly) bears bright yellow, star-shaped blooms in mid to late spring. Allium does best in full sun. Local weather conditions and microclimates can affect the season of bloom. Southern areas of the country could be up to three weeks ahead of northern areas. Urban areas
tend to be warmer than rural areas, and even certain areas of one garden can be warmer than others. Flowers that receive reflected heat close to buildings and those in sunny spots tend to bloom before ones that are in the yard or in shady areas. Spring-flowering bulbs should be planted in fall, approximately six weeks or so before the ground is expected to freeze. This allows the bulbs a chance to grow an adequate root system before winter. Spring-blooming bulbs also need a period of chilling to initiate their flower buds deep in the bulb. More information about flowering bulbs can be found in “Flowering Bulbs,” Purdue Extension bulletin HO-86, available online at hort. purdue.edu/ext/HO-86.pdf. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.
CHICAGO — Soybean and corn futures dropped in Chicago this week on speculation that dry weather will allow U.S. farmers to expedite harvests that were delayed by late planting. Wheat advanced. Farmers gathered 63 percent of soybeans and 39 percent of the corn in the main growing areas as of Oct. 20, below the five-year average, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said yesterday. About 60 percent of corn was in good or excellent condition, up from 55 percent on Sept. 29, while soybeans improved to 57 percent from 53 percent, the government said. “Dry weather this week will help farmers finish up soybean harvesting in many areas and lead to more cash sales,” Chad Henderson, the president of Prime Agricultural Consultants Inc. in Brookfield, Wisconsin, said in a telephone interview. “The improvement in crop ratings signals that we will have bigger corn and soybean crops.” Soybean futures for delivery in January slid 0.2 percent to close at $12.975 a bushel at 1:15 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. Prices reached $13.0125 yesterday, the highest since Oct. 10. U.S. soybean production may rise 4.4 percent to the highest in three years, the USDA said Sept. 12. Corn futures for delivery in December slumped 1.3 percent to $4.3825 a bushel in Chicago, the biggest drop since Oct. 8. The USDA predicted output will jump 28 percent to a record this year.
More farmers tout benefits of winter cover crops LAPORTE (AP) — Porter Township farmer Keith Gustafson is spending his fall as most farmers do. He’s harvesting his crops. As he reaps his corn and soybeans, however, he’s also watching as new plantings — clover, wheat and even more soybeans — start to grow. That’s because Gustafson, like a growing number of farmers in Indiana, has returned to planting a second round of crops in the fall. Those crops, left through the winter, are called cover crops. Although the idea is not new, scientists and farmers have started to realize cover crops, combined with no more tillage of the land, can solve problems that have plagued farms and the environment, including erosion and the leaking of fertilizers into local water systems.

serves as supervisor for the Porter County Soil and Water Conservation District, has used cover crops for about four years and said he’s already seeing benefits. The field easily absorbed nearly all of a recent heavy rain — roughly 5 inches. “That just perked down into the soil real well,” Gustafson told the Post-Tribune. “There was hardly any runoff.” Cover crops used to be the norm. Farmers would plant them in fall, leave them in over winter and then kill them off before planting their cash crops. The dead plants would fertilize the ground. Then new technology and science, such as the now-common fertilizer nitrogen, came in during the 1950s. It greatly improved crop yields, said Eileen Kladivko, a professor in Purdue University’s Agronomy Department, and cover crops slowly fell out of use. “(Before), you couldn’t just go buy nitrogen in a bag at the local store,” she said. “But after World War II, nitrogen became readily
Today’s KPC
available.” The new technologies brought their own problems, however. Too often, heavy rains would wash nitrogen away, polluting local water systems leading to Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. Lost nitrogen also wasted farmers’ money. Water runoff has been aided by tilling, which can also cause soil erosion. Tilling compacts the soil, making it hard for water to penetrate. Moving away from tilling has helped solve part of this problem. So have cover crops; their roots draw water into the soil, said Dan Perkins, a certified crop adviser and watershed coordinator for the Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District. Perkins has been studying the fields in Jasper County that use cover crops and has found roots going down about five feet. Deep roots help draw water deeper into the soil, creating a moisture reserve and providing protection for summer crops during droughts, such as the one

farmers experienced last year. “That’s a huge benefit,” he said. Besides helping with water retention, Kladivko said, cover crops improve overall soil quality. Midwestern soil developed over thousands of years to a rich quality that proved a boon for growing food. But that high quality has declined ever since people started farming the land. “What is being realized now is there’s this whole other part of the equation to getting maximum yield, and that’s soil biology,” Perkins said. “Our soil isn’t just this lifeless medium that we put fertilizer and herbicide on and we get a crop out of that.” For instance, the soil can pick up beneficial carbon compounds from the roots of the cover crops. The roots also pick up nutrients from fertilizers. Kladivko said even the best farmers who use all the best practices still lose nutrients from their fertilizers during winter; cover crops can stop that. “It’s a natural system that’s leaky,” she said. “There’s no bottom to it.” The cover crops act as a slow-release fertilizer because the soil gets those nutrients back as the plants decompose. Overall, as soil health improves, it’s possible farmers can, after a number of years, cut back on fertilizers, especially if they include legumes — a good
source of nitrogen — as a cover crop. They can also possibly use fewer pesticides, as some cover crops crowd out weeds. Not only the federal government but also environmental groups like the National Resources Defense Council and National Wildlife Federation champion cover crops and no-till. Gustafson said he learned about cover crops after state and federal officials started advocating them and he saw some of Perkins’ videos on the topic. Along with seeing the water soak into the ground, he’s seeing less soil erosion, he said. Jasper County farmer Dave Rodibaugh also has started experimenting with cover crops. He’s used them about four years on 10 percent to 15 percent of his farmland and said he likes that he could improve both the quality of the land and his crop yields. Although Rodibaugh said he doesn’t have any evidence yet of improvement in either area, Perkins said he’s heard anecdotal stories about other farmers seeing improved yields. If that can be substantiated, and if soil quality improves, “we get the best of both worlds,” Perkins said. When he started focusing on cover crops four years ago, they were planted on just 250 acres in Jasper County. This year, he knows of at least 6,000 acres being planted and thinks the number could reach 10,000.

DNA reveals mystery girl’s mother Oil spills go NIKOLAEVO, Bulgaria (AP) — The mystery is solved — but the future of the young girl known only as Maria is still uncertain. DNA tests have confirmed that a Bulgarian Roma couple living in an impoverished village with their nine other children are the biological parents of the girl found in Greece with another Roma couple, authorities said Friday. Genetic profiles of Sasha Ruseva, 35, and her 37-year-old husband, Atanas, matched that of Maria, Bulgarian Interior Ministry official Svetlozar Lazarov said Friday. By late Friday, the couple had not returned to their home that was surrounded by local and international reporters after the news was announced, and police said their whereabouts were unknown to them. Three of the couple’s youngest children were taken to a shelter for temporary care, said Diana Kaneva, director of social services for the central Stara Zagora region. Ruseva had said she gave birth to a baby girl four
years ago in Greece while working there as an olive picker but gave the child away because she was too poor to care for her. She since has had two more children after Maria. Maria has been in a charity’s care since authorities raided a settlement of Roma, also known as Gypsies, in Greece last week and found she was not related to the Greek Roma couple she was living with. Her discovery triggered a global search for her parents, fears of possible child trafficking and interest from authorities dealing with missing children cases in Poland, France, the United States and elsewhere. Human rights groups also have raised concerns that the news coverage about Maria and the actions taken by authorities were fueling racist sentiment against the European Union’s Gypsy minority, who number around 6 million. The Bulgarian prosecutor’s office and Greek authorities were “seeking clarification on whether the
unreported in North Dakota BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota, the nation’s No. 2 oil producer behind Texas, recorded nearly 300 oil pipeline spills in less than two years, state documents show. None was reported to the public, officials said. According to records obtained by The Associated Press, the pipeline spills — many of them small — are among some 750 “oil field incidents” that have occurred since January 2012 AP without public notification. “That’s news to us,” Mother Sasha Ruseva holds 2-year-old Penka, one of said Don Morrison, director her 10 children.

publicly report such incidents after a massive spill was discovered last month in northwestern North Dakota by a wheat farmer. State and company officials kept it quiet for 11 days — and only said something after the AP asked about it. Soon after the AP published its report Friday, the Health Department announced it is testing a website to publish information on all spills reported to the department. North Dakota regulators, like in many other oil-producing states, are not obliged to tell the public about oil spills under state law. But in a state that’s producing a million barrels a day and saw nearly 2,500 miles of new pipelines last year, many believe the risk of spills will increase, posing a bigger threat to farmland and water.

Son’s long hair brings out worst in relatives DEAR ABBY: I have a 10-year-old son. “Zack’s” a great kid, creative, funny and athletic. He has decided to grow his hair long. My husband and I figure it’s not illegal or immoral, so why fight it? My family does not share our opinion. My mom and sister are cruel in their opposition to Zack growing his hair. They tell him he looks like a girl and call him names. There have been bribes, bullying and instances of utter insanity on their part, trying to make him cut it. My sister’s son has been physically and verbally cruel to Zack, and she thinks it’s funny. She’s repeating a pattern from when we were children of being the “toughest” — if you can’t handle the abuse, you’re a “baby.” I need to know how to stand up to these family

that if they don’t knock it off immediately, they’ll be seeing a lot less of you. The dynamics in your family are unhealthy — but you are an adult now and no longer have to tolerate it. Because Zack is athletic, enroll him in self-defense classes and make sure he knows he does not have to tolerate physical abuse from anyone and that includes his cousin. As to “Grandma,” your son’s emotional health must take precedence over hers. I seriously doubt she’ll kill herself if she doesn’t have your son to make miserable, so don’t feel guilty about it. 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.

Some exercises can help slow bone loss strength-training) exercise is any activity that puts stress on bones. Walking and climbing stairs are examples. Weight-bearing exercises can help to slow bone loss and stimulate new bone growth. A complete strengthtraining ASK workout DOCTOR K. involves eight to 12 exercises. Dr. Anthony Together, they exercise your Komaroff all major muscle groups.
•
Below, I’ll describe three strength-training exercises. They are designed for older adults and people who are new to strength training.
Do strength-training exercises two or three times a week. Allow at least 48 hours between workouts. Try to do each exercise eight to 12 times, or repetitions (“reps”). These repetitions make up one set. Do two to four sets of each exercise. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds between sets. To do these exercises, you’ll need a sturdy chair, athletic shoes, an exercise mat and weights. (You should be able to do no more than eight to 12 reps of each exercise with the weights you choose.) • Bridge: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands next to your hips with palms flat on the floor. Keep your back straight as you lift your buttocks as high as you can off the floor. Pause. Lower your buttocks without touching the floor, then lift again.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve heard that weightbearing exercises are a good way to prevent osteoporosis. Can you describe a few? DEAR READER: Use it or lose it: That message applies to most parts of our body. We see it most clearly with the muscles. If we don’t use them, they wither. But if we regularly challenge them, they bulk up. The same is true with bones. Most of our bones bear our weight, except when we’re lying down. That’s what they “want” to do. If we don’t give them enough time each day to do that, they tend to get thin. This is a particular problem if a person also has a genetic tendency to develop osteoporosis. Inactivity speeds the thinning of the bones that occurs in osteoporosis. This makes them more susceptible to fractures. Weight-bearing (or

DEAR Zack is ABBY stressed because he loves his grandma, Jeanne Phillips but can’t deal with her harassment. Can you help? — GUILT-RIDDEN AND STRESSED DEAR GUILT-RIDDEN AND STRESSED: I’ll try. Somehow, for your son’s sake, you must find the courage to tell your mother and your sister to their faces
• Standing calf raise: Stand with your feet flat on the floor. Hold on to the back of your chair for balance. Raise yourself up on the balls of your feet, as high as possible. Hold briefly, then lower. • Overhead press: Stand with your feet slightly apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand on either side of your shoulders, at shoulder height, with your palms facing forward. Slowly lift the weights straight up until your arms are fully extended. Pause. Slowly lower the dumbbells to shoulder level. You don’t need to go to a gym; a small investment in buying exercise mats and weights allows you to do all the exercises at home.
