GOOD MORNING Steel Dynamics profits rise sharply FORT WAYNE — Steel Dynamics Inc. on Wednesday announced net income of $57 million, or 25 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.9 billion for the July-September quarter. The results showed sharp improvement over the third quarter last year, when net income was $13 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion. SDI’s performance also improved on the April-June quarter of this year, which showed net income of $29 million, or 13 cents per per diluted share, on net sales of $1.8 billion. President and CEO Mark Millett of Auburn gave credit to stronger prices for steel and increased steel shipments. The company’s steel mill production utilization rate was 89 percent in the third quarter, up from 83 percent in the previous three months. SDI operates a steel mill southwest of Butler. “We are optimistic, as the demand for high-quality steel products continues to improve,” Millett said in a news release. “The automotive market remains strong, and manufactured goods continue to strengthen. … We are confident that with our exceptional team and our superior, low-cost operating culture, we are uniquely prepared to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.”

Manufacturers upbeat about future INDIANAPOLIS — An annual Indiana manufacturing survey found the industry is continuing to recover from the recession and is upgrading capabilities to prepare for increased demand. The survey was commissioned by the certified public accounting firm of Katz, Sapper & Miller. More than 70 percent of the manufacturers responding to the survey reported they had resumed investment in capital and labor, and less than 5 percent said they were continuing across-the-board cuts.

Police identify man killed by train BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Anthony Sills, 41, of Kendallville was killed Tuesday when he was struck by a train while crossing the Main Street railroad tracks in a battery-powered wheelchair. Investigators don’t know exactly what happened and hope video from a camera mounted on the train’s lead engine will provide them with answers. Was he trying to cross before the train passed, or could he have

been stopped on the crossing for some reason and could not escape in time? These are among the questions investigators hope to answer after Sills reviewing the video. Sills often traveled on city sidewalks and crossed the Main Street tracks in his powered wheelchair.

Police Chief Rob Wiley said Wednesday the investigation is continuing, and results from the video may be available in about a week. Sills died from blunt-force trauma from the train hitting him, Noble County Coroner Joan Cripe reported Wednesday. No autopsy is scheduled. Emergency responders were called to the scene at 5:18 p.m. The westbound freight train had stopped, blocking the Main Street and Riley Street crossings. Sills’

body was found along the north side of the tracks, just west of the Kendallville Pawn Shop at 211 N. Main St. Witnesses told police the crossing gates were down, red signals were flashing and a bell was ringing indicating an approaching train when Sills attempted to cross the tracks. Kendallville Police and Norfolk Southern Railroad police investigated the incident. Mr. Sills’ obituary appears on Page A4.

Members of the DeKalb boys soccer team join DeKalb Health CEO Fred Price, center, Tuesday afternoon with balloons and notes for patients at the hospital. The team took a break from practice

to visit with patients and give away the balloons. Coach Jed Freels said the activity was a step to creating a relationship for future community service.

Soccer squad sets higher goal AUBURN — Players from the DeKalb High School boys soccer team took a break from the practice field Tuesday to visit DeKalb Health hospital. The young men passed out balloons and personal notes to patients at the hospital, saying the team would “keep (the patients) in positive thoughts.” The boys also took notes to the employees thanking them for their service. “We’re trying to establish a relationship with the hospital,” said coach Jed Freels. “There’s

more to life than winning championships.” Freels and his team will face Fort Wayne North Side tonight at 7:30 in the regional semifinal at Carroll High School. DeKalb will be seeking to defend its 2012 regional title. The Barons soccer program has won 11 sectional championships, but Freels said he wants to teach his players about “the bigger picture.” “Hopefully, you have something more to stand on than wins,” Freels said. “We want to do

what we can to be involved in the community.” Making a partnership with DeKalb Health seemed like a natural idea, Freels said. “DeKalb Health is good to the school,” he added. “We spend too much time in the emergency room.” As the soccer players dispersed into the halls of DeKalb Health — some to the emergency room and others to inpatient care — Freels reminded his team of the mission. “Don’t come back with any notes or balloons,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Up against a deadline, Congress passed and sent a waiting President Barack Obama legislation late Wednesday night to avoid a threatened national default and end the 16-day partial government shutdown, the culmination of an epic political drama that placed the U.S. economy at risk. The Senate voted first, a bipartisan 81-18 at midevening. That cleared the way for a final 285-144 vote in the Republican-controlled House about two hours later on the legislation, which hewed strictly to the terms Obama laid down when the twin crises erupted more than three weeks ago. The legislation would permit the Treasury to borrow normally through Feb. 7 or perhaps a month longer, and fund the government through Jan. 15. More than 2 million federal workers would be paid — those who had remained on the job and those who had been furloughed. After the Senate approved the measure, Obama hailed the vote SEE BILL, PAGE A6

ANGOLA — Say it ain’t so. Say it ain’t snow. The sad reality is at least one weather forecasting outlet is calling for possible snow in nearby parts of the Midwest this weekend. Weather maps do not show snow in Indiana’s future — at least not yet. AccuWeather.com reports as waves of colder air sweep southward from Canada, the first snowflakes of the season are possible for some locations in

northern portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The combination of progressively colder air and weak disturbances will set the atmosphere up to produce chilly rain showers over the Upper Midwest starting this weekend, predicts AccuWeather. com, which provides weather for our website, kpcnews.com. The warm waters of the Great Lakes will warm the air slightly but, at the same time, will add some moisture to the air and make some of the showers heavier.

Adventure Homes expanding, could hire 25 BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — The Garrett Common Council Tuesday approved a declaratory resolution to give a tax break for an expansion project of F & H Associates LLC, a holding company for a building occupied by Adventure Homes. Co-owner Walt Fuller told the council he plans to add an 18,180-square-foot expansion valued at $375,000 at the plant’s facility at 1119 Fuller Drive in

Garrett’s industrial park. The proposed expansion is needed to lengthen the plant’s assembly line area in order to install and paint drywall in the manufactured homes. Fuller said he hopes to be able to add 25 jobs in the next three years, starting with 10 each in the first and second years and five in the third. Fuller and his partners purchased the plant in 2009 when Fleetwood Homes announced it would close and its 65 workers would be out of work.

“I am asking for a little help, We don’t make the money I’d like to make,” Fuller told the council. Ken McCrory from the DeKalb County Economic Partnership told the board the company pays good wages and plans to add employees. City attorney Dan Brinkerhoff reminded the council the abatement would not apply to taxes paid on the current assessed value of the facility and would affect only the increased valuation of improvements. Under the city’s tax abatement formula, the

project qualifies for an eight-year abatement. Brinkerhoff estimated the base taxes would be $50,000, saving the company about $40,000 over the eight-year period. A public hearing on the measure is planned at the Nov. 5 council meeting. Three wage and salary ordinances were introduced and passed on first readings, giving across-the-board 3 percent raises for police department and volunteer fire department members SEE EXPANDING, PAGE A6

Free seminar on wills offered AUBURN — Auburn attorney Neal Blythe will speak at a free presentation on creating a will Tuesday from 7-8:15 p.m. The presentation will be held at DeKalb Health in the third-floor meeting room of the Physician Office Building at 1314 E. Seventh St. People attending should enter door 61 near the Medical Arts Building. Blythe will highlight the importance of preparing a will or estate plan, explain what a will needs to be valid and what happens to assets without a will. Nearly 65 percent of Americans die without a will, and the state stipulates how their assets are disbursed. Creating

a personalized will, or updating one that is five years old or more, allows a person to choose who will handle his or her affairs and benefit from an estate. “There truly is a lot to consider when Blythe preparing a will. The most important decision is that you actually take the time to create one,” said Anna Nixon, director of the DeKalb Health Foundation. The presentation, “Be Will-Prepared,” is jointly sponsored by DeKalb Health Foundation, United Way of DeKalb County and

Community Foundation DeKalb County. “Working together, we hope to reach many people with important information on planning how their assets are distributed when they are no longer here,” said United Way of DeKalb County director Julie Hill-Lauer. “As people create or update a will, we hope they consider leaving a gift for a charitable organization that is important to the community,” said Wendy Oberlin, director of Community Foundation DeKalb County. “Naming a charitable gift in your will is an opportunity to make a substantial gift that may not be possible during your lifetime.”

“Be Will-Prepared” is a free event, but people planning to attend are asked to call the Community Foundation of DeKalb County at 925-0311 or email Jisbell@DeKalbFoundation. org to assure materials and seating. Anyone who cannot attend may contact the community foundation for a complimentary guide to getting personal affairs in order before meeting with an attorney to prepare or update a will. “Be Will-Prepared” is held in conjunction with Leave A Legacy, a Partnership for Philanthropic Planning public awareness campaign designed to increase the quality of charitable giving.

DeKalb Central adopts 2014 budget at $37.3 million and reduced to $37.1 million.

GARRETT — A driver suffered injuries in a one-car crash Wednesday at 1:13 p.m. on C.R. 56, east of C.R. 327, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department said. Donald William Lincoln, 59, of Lansing, Mich., had scrapes, bruising, and pain in his left arm. DeKalb EMS medics treated him at the crash scene. Police said Lincoln was driving eastbound on C.R. 56 when he lost control of his 1990 Chevrolet Lumina, possibly due to striking something on the roadway. The car slid off the left side of the road, fell off a steep embankment and struck a large tree with the passenger-side door. Police cited Lincoln for alleged unreasonable speed.

Gene Stratton-Porter’s husband, Charles, enjoyed collecting Native American handiwork and relics as he called them. In 1895, the Geneva Herald wrote, “C.D. Porter has probably the finest collection of Indian relics in this section of Indiana.” In October 1906, Porter wrote to Charles “Charlie” Deam asking if it would be all right if he and his wife could “drive over and call on you sometime” as he understood that Deam was also a collector. Charles Charlie Deam was two Deam years younger than Gene Stratton-Porter and like her was born close to the Wabash River on a farm; he in Wells County, to the northwest of Geneva. Deam, like Gene StrattonPorter, loved to roam the countryside studying In August 1921, Gene nature. By Stratton-Porter wrote the 1890s, he was a Charlie Deam, “after druggist his own 18 years and 14 books with pharmacy in in my swamp region of Bluffton, a Indiana, I have done two profession he shared years of botanizing in with Charles California and written Porter. Slowly, a book from the new Deam into location … I shall enjoy evolved a self-taught having your official botanist who in his opinion.” lifetime collected 73,000 specimens in the state. This collection is housed at Indiana University. His books on Indiana’s flora, grasses, shrubs and trees are four classic books that are still consulted by those studying the field. Both the Deam and Stratton families came to northern Indiana in the late 1830s. According to his biographer, Robert Kriebel, Deam’s grandfather, John Aughey Deam, brought his family and followed the Wabash River “to a scenic promising valley.” In August 1921, Gene Stratton-Porter wrote Charlie Deam, “after 18 years and 14 books in my swamp region of Indiana, I have done two years of botanizing in California and written a book from the new location. It you can find time to read it, I shall enjoy having your official opinion as to the change.” She sent him a copy, as well as his daughter, Roberta, of her new book, “Her Father’s Daughter.” They had planned to meet for a visit at her home Wildflower Woods on Sylvan Lake but it was not to be. That August was busy time for the Porters and the Deams and Gene Stratton-Porter left for California on Sept. 10 with plans to spend the winter there. It was remarkable all that Charlie Deam accomplished in 1921. He collected 1,741 specimens in the state, spending 104 days in the field, driving 4,880 miles. He spent several weeks revising his “Trees of Indiana.” This is the year that he began planting hickory and walnut trees at his Bluffton home which became known as the Deam Arboretum. These two famous Hoosiers both produced an enormous body of work in their lifetimes and taught us much about the natural history of Indiana. We were fortunate that they called northeastern Indiana home. They had very similar backgrounds and lived one county apart for much of their lives. It is not surprising that they met and developed a friendship. Gene Stratton-Porter died on Dec. 6, 1924 in Los Angeles, Calif., from injuries in a traffic accident. Deam lived a long life and died in 1953. He enjoyed a long and productive career as a successful botanist and pharmacist.

Letters To The Editor • Obama is the great divider of Americans To the editor: Who’s in charge of America? Why do we have elections? Because AWOL is a sign of competence. Why is America in debt? When back in the day, American was the lender. Our country was always a leader — not a follower. Being a follower has happened after the 2008 and 2012 elections. Why are so many on entitlements? Where does the money come from? Who is paying those entitlements? The federal government has no money. It’s broke! The laws that run America — rules to govern such a great nation? This would be — the Constitution of the United States of America. The Bill of Rights. The Declaration of Independence! These cover all Americans. No exceptions! No time (I know of) did a president of America ever deny benefits to those killed in service to their country (military). Obama did. He could have issued an executive order — which he has done many times since 2009! When were the national memorials closed to those who fought alongside those whose names appear there? Obama did allow illegal immigrants to enter — escorted by Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats. Shutting down all national monuments, national parks. Telling the employees and his party, “Make this as painful as possible for Americans.” Obama the great divider of Americans! The liberal media follows Obama’s lead! Scare tactics! I do not understand why Reid and other members of the Democratic Party call

members of the Republican Party traitors, terrorists and jihadis, when they were elected by the people. They, the Democrats (Pelosi) called the tea party degrading names. These are good people — true Americans. They support, defend and respect the Constitution of the United States of America. The United States will not default. Read the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution — rules of America that lead the greatest nation on Earth. Say a prayer. We live in the greatest country on Earth.

What Others Say • Not only Congress, America is polarized America has changed in the last 15 years. We have become more polarized, dividing ourselves into conservative and liberal camps, and hardening the positions we hold. That’s part of what’s making this government gridlock so tough to crack. In 1998, a study shows, about a third of the 226 Republicans in the House of Representatives represented districts that Democrat Bill Clinton won. By 2012, only 17 of the 234 seats won by Republicans also voted for Democrat Barack Obama. Every Republican-held House district in Tennessee voted at least 64 percent for Mitt Romney last year. The change is sharply etched in figures from our own Eighth Congressional District for the last two presidential elections. In 2008, the Republican nominees in the two most recent presidential elections did about 1 percent better in our district than they did in the nation as a whole. But in 2012, the same calculation showed the GOP’s candidates did 19 percent better than the national average, indicating a much more Republican swing. Why is this so? …

Whatever happened to the melting pot of America? Why do we have so much trouble realizing that our differences strengthen us instead of weakening us? Where did the marketplace of ideas go? If this trend continues, the current government shutdown may be small in comparison with gridlocks to come. Paris (Tenn.) Post-Intelligencer

Obamacare is still a step forward It’s hard to tell which has done more to hurt the initial phase of the Affordable Care Act: continued Republican opposition or the inept rollout of the new law. To many citizens, the rollout problems — which left millions unable to even log in to the system — simply confirm GOP propaganda that Obamacare won’t work. That’s wrong. Despite those initial problems, the Affordable Care Act is still a big step forward in reforming the nation’s health care system, and we believe it will prove itself in the long run. It ensures that most of those now without health care insurance will get it. It removes onerous insurance requirements such as those involving pre-existing conditions. And it will even, contrary to some of the hysteria,

help small businesses provide health insurance for their employees, as James Surowiecki’s the Financial Page column on The New Yorker’s website noted. The Obama administration had an opportunity with the rollout that started Oct. 1 to at least ease the concerns of critics and mitigate the propaganda. Instead, the website proved not ready for prime time. … In Wisconsin, the initial failure of the website (HealthCare.gov) means that some of the 92,000 people losing their state BadgerCare Plus health insurance on Jan. 1 may find themselves in difficulty, the Journal Sentinel’s Patrick Marley reported Sunday. Under a plan by Gov. Scott Walker, those 92,000 people will lose their state BadgerCare Plus coverage on Jan. 1 and be pushed on to the new federal health insurance exchange. … That’s the problem that will resonate through the next several months. Will people frustrated with trying to get into a system they need come back to it? If they don’t, they and the country will lose out on the promise and potential of Obamacare. That’s why the administration needs to fix the problems — and fix them now. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A religious icon remains encased amid the rubble in Bohol province in central Philippines Wednesday, a day after a 7.2-magnitude quake hit Bohol and Cebu provinces. The quake that struck the central Philippines and killed more than a hundred people also dealt a serious blow to the region’s historical and religious legacy by heavily damaging a dozen or more churches, some of them hundreds of years old.

Central Philippine earthquake damages historic churches LOON, Philippines (AP) — The earthquake that struck the central Philippines and killed at least 144 people also dealt a serious blow to the region’s historical and religious legacy by heavily damaging a dozen or more churches, some of them hundreds of years old. As rescuers reached some of the hardest-hit areas on Wednesday and the death toll from the quake a day earlier continued to rise, images of the wrecked religious buildings resonated across a nation where 80 percent of the population is Roman Catholic. The bell tower toppled from Cebu city’s 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Child — a remnant of the Spanish colonial era and the country’s oldest church building — becoming a pile of rubble in the courtyard. Other churches on the neighboring island of Bohol, epicenter of the quake and a popular tourist destination known for its beaches, were also damaged, some beyond repair. “The heritage old churches are also very close to the hearts of the Boholanos,” said Bohol Gov. Edgardo Chatto, using the term for residents of the island. He said authorities would attempt to restore the historic churches, but some may never return to their former state. “Every piece of the church should be left untouched so that restoration efforts can be easier,” he said. “It may not be a total restoration, but closest to what it used to be before.” The back, front and the right wing of the church were destroyed.

The structure is said to be made from corals cemented together with egg white. Tuesday was a national holiday in the Philippines celebrating the Muslim feast of Eid ul Adha, which meant some of the most damaged structures, like schools and office buildings, were empty when the quake struck, which saved many lives. “That is our only consolation,” said Bohol provincial health officer Reymoses Cabagnot. Gay Flores had just woken up in her two-story house in the town of Carmen when the 7.2-magnitude quake struck at 8:15 a.m., sending shock waves across the picturesque island —and knocking her off her feet. “I crawled down to our kitchen because my mother and nephews were there,” she said. “Then we crawled out of the house.” The roof of their house had caved in and the cement walls had collapsed, but she was alive, and so were her parents. “We left everything behind,” Flores said by phone from the Bohol town of Carmen. “Belongings don’t matter as long as we can save our lives.” A day after the quake, Gov. Chatto said that all towns in need had been reached, although landslides and damaged bridges were slowing down road travel. Only two of the island’s 20 bridges were passable. “The towns that needed help have been reached. The most heavily hit in terms of casualties was the town of Loon, and there are still ongoing processes there, of recovery,” he said.

SNOW: Colder air coming in waves from Canada FROM PAGE A1

Where the showers are heaviest and the atmosphere cools enough locally, some wet snow can mix in with the rain and could even change to all wet snow. Snow in October is not out of the realm of possibility for northeast Indiana in October. The 30-year average for snowfall in northeast Indiana in October is less than a half-inch. AccuWeather.com is predicting that there could be some frost — more accurately, snow — on those Halloween pumpkins. Through nearly the end of October, the waves of colder air will keep coming from Central Canada and will make more progress to

the south and east around the Great Lakes region. From Minnesota to Michigan this weekend, temperatures can dip near to below freezing at times during the daylight hours, after including wind, actual temperature, precipitation and other factors. AccuWeather.com chief meteorologist Elliot Abrams said, “As the pattern continues to evolve, other areas around the lower Great Lakes and the central and northern Appalachians are likely to join in with their first snowflakes of the season.” The pattern has the potential to bring the first accumulating snow to a few areas that receive lake effect. “The best chance of

snowflakes and perhaps ground-whitening snow for parts of the southern and eastern Great Lakes and the higher ground of the central Appalachians appears to be later next week,” Abrams said. Weather Bug is calling for a possibility of snow next Thursday in northeast Indiana. It is not unusual for a small amount snow to fall in the vicinity the Great Lakes and Appalachians during the second half of October. The greatest October one-day total for snowfall in the Fort Wayne area was 6.4 inches on Oct. 19, 1989. For Angola, it was 6.2 inches (Oct. 26, 1962), and for South Bend, 13.0 inches (Oct. 29, 1910).

Hirchak was among teachers in the pilot program for the individualized learning program. “He is a visionary,” she said of Stockdale. “I think (the new program) is the best thing for us. We have been able to meet student needs as never before.” But disappointing ISTEP scores earlier this month also were addressed. Former school board member Larry Getts noted the school’s nearly 50 percent free and reduced lunch population correlates to the success on ISTEP scores. “As free lunches go up, scores go down,” Getts said. Mark Fogt, whose three children graduated from Garrett, said he hoped his grandchildren would, too. He asked the board to take time to review test scores and how they match both regionally and statewide. “We need perspective from someone in the trenches,” he said. “Scores are a barometer.” Fogt noted that with the popularity of school vouchers, the Garrett is at risk of losing students due to poor ISTEP results. He estimated for every 10 students lost, one teaching position would be eliminated. He encouraged the board to look at similar schools with positive growth.

and appointed officers and city employees. The mayor and council members would not be getting a pay hike under the proposed ordinance. Councilman Brad Stump cast a negative vote, saying he favored seeking up to a 5 percent increase if it was within the budgets of the departments and if it could be achieved without raising customer rates or taxes. Stump also opposed an ordinance giving Clerk-Treasurer Marcie Conkle a 3 percent raise, favoring of a higher percentage. “I think she should be given a living wage,” he

said. But Conkle declined the offer, asking that the 3 percent level be held. Councilwoman Amanda Charles also voted against the ordinance for city employees, favoring a higher wage. Stump said city workers have been underpaid in the past, and departments have lost good help to other jobs. Councilman Todd Sattison said he had no problems with a 4.5-5 percent increase, “but you can’t give money you don’t have.” Sattison worked on a budget committee prior to Tuesday’s vote and said the

GARRETT — More than 60 people attended a public hearing Monday for a proposed employee contract for Garrett-Keyser-Butler Schools Superintendent Dennis Stockdale. The school board proposed an annual base salary of $96,500, the same as he currently is paid. Stockdale’s contract term runs from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016. Nearly half of those attending — including teachers, administrators, members of the teachers’ association, coaches, cafeteria staff, bus drivers, parents and concerned citizens — offered comments overwhelmingly in favor of Stockdale’s performance as superintendent for the past six years. Many of the speakers addressed concerns based on an alleged leak of information from an executive session in late summer that the board did not intend to renew Stockdale’s contract. Board members responded that the contract was in place for the next two years. Eleven teachers spoke at Monday’s session. Many shared the same sentiments. Anthony Thomas said when he began teaching a Garrett in 2009, the school was at least 10 years behind

on technology. “Now, with Stockdale’s foresight, we have not only closed the gap, but moved out front and are doing what other districts are only dreaming of,” he said. Mark Shea said other school districts tour Garrett schools for ideas. “Garrett doesn’t wait to see if other schools make it happen. We are leaders, and Stockdale they come to us (to see the innovation). Dennis has given us the tools and the leeway — I would hate to see him go,” Shea said. Shea is also co-president of the teachers’ association and spoke about Stockdale’s honesty a couple years ago when a budget surplus became evident and Stockdale suggested it be given to teachers, first as a stipend, and later as a raise. Kindergarten teacher Micah Hirchak told the board her children are thriving under the personalized learning concept in place at Garrett. “Just to see (her own daughter’s) enthusiasm to come to school every day and her attitude change is really special for me,” she said.

BILL: Stutzman said he would not support bill FROM PAGE A1

and said he would sign it immediately after it reached his desk. “We’ll begin reopening our government immediately and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty from our businesses and the American people.” Later, in the House, Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said, “After two long weeks, it is time to end this government shutdown. It’s time to take the threat of default off the table. It’s time to restore some sanity to this place.” U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, of Howe, voted against the bill. “Hoosier families are struggling under the weight of Obamacare’s job-killing mandates and the nation’s crushing $17 trillion debt. This bill does nothing to provide relief of those issues or end special treatment for Members of Congress under Obamacare, and therefore I will oppose it,” Stutzman said in a news release before the vote. U.S. Sens. Dan Coats, R-Ind., and Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., voted for the bill in the Senate. “While I deplore supporting yet another short-term Band-Aid, the only thing worse would be a continued government shutdown, the United States defaulting on its debt obligations and the elimination of the spending reductions enacted by Congress in 2011,” Coats said. The stock market surged higher at the prospect of an end to the crisis that also had threatened to shake confidence in the U.S. economy overseas.

Barons blank Bellmont VanWye scores twice to lead DeKalb to regional final match BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — If the players on the DeKalb girls soccer team were nervous playing in their first-ever regional game Wednesday night against Bellmont, the Barons certainly didn’t show it. DeKalb scored three second-half goals, two from senior Madison VanWye, to break open a close match as the Barons defeated their Northeast Hoosier Conference rival 4-0 in the Class 2A East Noble Regional semifinal. “They never give up. They have hearts of champions,” said DeKalb coach Sam Weicht about his Barons. “I can’t say anything bad about Bellmont. Steve (Lee) did a great job with those girls down there. They pushed us to the brink in the regular season and it was nothing different (Wednesday night).” DeKalb (17-2) plays Homestead (14-2-4) in the regional championship at 1 p.m. Saturday. The Spartans defeated Carroll 1-0. The Barons took a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute thanks to the right foot of sophomore Andrea

the Squaws (12-7) tried to stay in the match. It didn’t take long for the Barons to stretch the lead to two goals in the second half. In the 42nd minute, VanWye took the pass from Alyson Noye, created some space in the box and shot it past goalkeeper Victoria Smitley. It was certainly a satisfying goal for the senior midfielder/forward, who hit the woodwork twice in the first half. “We were possessing the ball, playing smart and playing a good half of soccer,” Weicht said. “We just didn’t hit the back of the net. At halftime we talked about how Bellmont’s going to come out strong and we’ve got to respond. The want it just as bad as we do. Maddie came back with a really nice one.” Nine minutes later, VanWye struck again to push DeKalb’s lead to 3-0, scoring with an assist from junior Taya Poynter. Poynter got a goal off her own in the 79th minute, beating a Bellmont defender to a through-ball from Oster, and calmly put the strike in the back of the net. SEE BARONS, PAGE B2

L.A. Dodgers stay alive in NLCS LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez homered twice and Zack Greinke gave the Los Angeles Dodgers the clutch performance they needed in a 6-4 victory over the Cardinals on Wednesday that trimmed St. Louis’ lead to 3-2 in the NL championship series. Carl Crawford and A.J. Ellis also went deep for the Dodgers, who rediscovered their power stroke just in time to save their season. They held on in the ninth inning, when St. Louis scored twice off closer Kenley Jansen before he struck out pinch-hitter Adron Chambers with two on to end it. The best-of-seven series shifts back to St. Louis for Game 6 on Friday night, with ace Clayton Kershaw scheduled to start for the Dodgers against rookie Michael Wacha. When those two squared off in Game 2, the Cardinals won 1-0 on an unearned run. “This series is only getting started,” Gonzalez said. “We like where we’re at.” Desperate to avoid elimination, the Dodgers brought in some Hollywood star power for pregame introductions. Will Ferrell announced their lineup and lent a comic spin to each player’s name, capping it by introducing Greinke as “today’s winning pitcher.”

Ferrell knew what he was talking about. Greinke got into a bases-loaded jam with none out in the first inning but escaped with no damage. From there, he pitched seven strong innings and even delivered an RBI single. The Cardinals also led last year’s NLCS 3-1 before losing three straight games to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants. “We’re looking to do the same thing,” Gonzalez said. The Dodgers rallied in this one after Greinke gave up an early 2-0 lead just as he did in Game 1, which Los Angeles lost 3-2 in 13 innings on the road. After neither team homered in the first three games for the first time in NLCS history, the big bats came out. The Cardinals used a two-run homer by Matt Holliday and a solo shot from pinch-hitter Shane Robinson to win 4-2 on Tuesday night. This time, Gonzalez went 3 for 4 with two solo homers. His two-out shot in the eighth made it 6-2. The Cardinals tied it at 2 in the third on Carlos Beltran’s RBI triple and Holliday’s run-scoring double before Yadier Molina grounded into his second inningending double play.

Los Angeles Dodgers’ Adrian Gonzalez is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a home run during the third inning of Game 5 of the National League baseball championship series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles answered in the bottom half. Mark Ellis singled leading off but was erased when Hanley Ramirez grounded into a double play. Gonzalez followed with the

Dodgers’ first homer of the NLCS, slugging the ball an estimated 428 feet into the right-field pavilion for a 3-2 lead. As he headed toward the SEE NLCS, PAGE B2

Peyton no comment on Irsay ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Thanks to the musings of his former owner, Peyton Manning’s return to Indianapolis this week has turned into something less than the warm-and-fuzzy homecoming it could have been. If any of that bothers No. 18, it’s not showing. Dictating the terms of his Wednesday news conference as effectively as he orchestrates his offense from the line of scrimmage, Manning paid virtually no heed to this week’s comments from Colts owner Jim Irsay, while heaping plenty of praise on his former team and its fans. “I don’t have an answer for you on that, or any comment on that,” was Manning’s response to the first, predictable question of his news conference — the one asking for reaction to Irsay’s comments about giving up the old Indy

offense’s “Star Wars” numbers in a quest for more Super Bowl rings. As for his 14 years in Indianapolis and the bittersweet parting Irsay engineered after Manning missed the 2011 season with shoulder and neck problems — well, Manning has no regrets. “I’ve learned that in life you need to be at peace with other people’s decisions that affect you that you have no control over,” he said. “That’s good advice I’ve had over the years and it’s certainly served me well in this particular scenario.” Earlier this week, Irsay talked to USA Today about Manning’s tenure in Indianapolis, which produced one title, another trip to the Super Bowl, 11 playoff appearances but seven one-and-done postseasons. “That leaves you

frustrated,” Irsay said. “You make the playoffs 11 times, and you’re out in the first round seven out of 11 times. You love to have the ‘Star Wars’ numbers from Peyton and Marvin (Harrison) and Reggie (Wayne). Mostly, you love” winning Super Bowls. That triggered a strong response from the usually bland Broncos coach, John Fox, who on his national radio show Tuesday called Irsay’s comments a cheap shot that was “disappointing and inappropriate.” Others chimed in, including Tony Dungy, Fran Tarkenton, Manning’s former college teammate Todd Helton and his former general manager Bill Polian, all of them taking Manning’s side in one way or another. With that, the game that was supposed to be a Manning love fest suddenly felt like something much different.

dugout, Gonzalez cupped his hands to his ears and wiggled them in a gesture resembling mouse ears. It was an apparent tweak at Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright, who said Gonzalez had done “some Mickey Mouse stuff” in celebrating a double on Monday night. The Dodgers are trying to become the 12th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. After wriggling out of big trouble in the first when Molina bounced into a double play, Greinke allowed two runs and six hits. He struck out four and walked one. “He made his pitches, we made the plays, got out of it,” Gonzalez said. “We

were able to get run support for him. All he needed was a few runs.” Jansen gave up RBI singles to Matt Adams and Pete Kozma in the ninth. A.J. Ellis homered in seventh, sending an 0-2 pitch from Edward Mujica into the left-field pavilion to make it 5-2. Crawford homered with one out in the fifth, extending the Dodgers’ lead to 4-2. He walloped a 3-2 pitch from starter Joe Kelly an estimated 447 feet into the right-field pavilion. Kelly gave up four runs and seven hits in five innings, struck out three and walked none. Beltran’s triple went over the head of Andre Ethier and to the wall in center, scoring Matt Carpenter, who singled.

Defending Cup champion Brad Keselowski gets first win of 2013 with victory at Charlotte

Ryan Reed signs with Roush Fenway Racing for 2014 Nationwide Series

For the 2013 season, David Ragan, driving for a Front Row Racing team that has far fewer resources than the sport’s powerhouse teams, has an average finish of 26.3, with just one top-10 finish so far. But that one top-10 was a big one — a dramatic victory at Talladega Superspeedway back in May. In that race, Ragan used a push from his teammate David Gilliland to surge into the lead on the last lap and score his second 'DYLG 5DJDQ FDSWXUHG WKH FKHFNHUHG ÁDJ career Cup victory. at Talladega in May. As Ragan and the circuit return to Talladega this weekend, he said another David versus Goliath scenario isn’t out of the question. He said that the nature of restrictor-plate racing and the effects of the draft take away many of the advantages enjoyed by the bigger teams at other tracks. “Racing at Daytona and Talladega requires a different style to get to the front,” he said. “It’s all about getting to those last 10 laps or so with your car in good shape and a good plan of attack.” Ragan, whose other Cup victory came at Daytona in 2011 aboard a RoushFenway Racing Ford, said he and his No. 34 Ford are ready for another try at Talladega. “We’re running the same car,” he said. “We didn’t get any damage on it before, and we’ve been able to work on it and hopefully make it better.” Ragan’s Talladega win didn’t cause an immediate change in his racing fortunes. He and his team continue to work under the reduced expectations that come with running with fewer dollars than the competition. But it has had its rewards. “It validated the commitment of the sponsors we had, and it’s been a plus when it comes to sponsorship for the future,” Ragan said. “We expect to have an announcement on that in a few days.” And it has been something to savor over time. “When it happens, you’re thinking about the next race and how you’re going to approach it,” he said. “I’ve actually come to appreciate it more in the four or five months since then.”

Ryan Reed has signed on to drive the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing full time next year in the Nationwide Series. He’ll do so with sponsorship from Lilly Diabetes, which is promoting the American Diabetes Association’s Drive to Stop Diabetes. It’s a fitting sponsorship as Reed, a 19-year-old short-track driver from Bakersfield, Calif., was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in February 2011. “This has all the right parts, and to be included in that is unreal for me as a driver and someone living with diabetes,” Reed said. “I just want to play a small part in helping stop diabetes, and it means a lot to be here.” Reed said he understands that he’s a role model for others hoping to overcome medical challenges and Ryan Reed excel in sports. “I just want to drive race cars,” he said. “I want to stay healthy as a person, so I can compete at the highest level, and that’s what is important to me. I have such a passion for giving back and being that role model that I would never jeopardize it in a million years because it’s something that I’m blessed to have.” Reed has run four Nationwide races for Roush this season, with a best run of ninth at Richmond last month, and an average finish of 16.2.

Defending Talladega winner David Ragan uses a “different style to get to the front”

Darlington Raceway and Kansas Speedway, two tracks owned by International Speedway Corp., are switching race dates, with Darlington moving its lone Sprint Cup race from Mother’s Day weekend to April 11-12, and Kansas taking the Saturday night before Mother’s Day, May 10, beginning next season. “We’re making this change with the fan experience in mind,” Darlington President Chip Wile said in a release announcing the change. “We’ve always enjoyed the tradition of racing on Mother’s Day weekend, but sometimes a change like this is necessary. We have the opportunity to get a fresh start and embrace a new date on the NASCAR calendar.” Wile, who recently took his post at Darlington, went on to say that South Carolina’s weather is typically more favorable for racing than the conditions in May. “The average temperature in April 2013 was 75.2 degrees, with May’s average at 81 degrees,” he said. Kansas also will host the Hollywood Casino 400 on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014.

Vickers out again due to health issues For the second time in the past three years, Brian Vickers has had to step away from NASCAR racing because of blood clots. Vickers’ Michael Waltrip Racing team announced on Monday Brian Vickers that the 29-year-old driver will miss the remainder of the 2013 season after Dr. William Downey placed him on blood-thinning medication. The decision was made after a Monday morning examination during which the doctor discovered a clot in the calf region of Vickers’ right leg. Vickers said in a team release that his physicians are confident he will be able to resume activity before the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup season begins. “If there’s anything to be positive about with today’s news, it’s that this is only a temporary setback,” he said. “The timing for this is never good, but I’m glad we’ll get it out of the way now and be ready to run for a championship with the Aaron’s Dream Machine in 2014.” Team co-owner Michael Waltrip already was set to drive the No. 55 Aaron’s Dream Machine at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, and a replacement driver for the remainder of Cup drivers who Laps led the the season isinexpected toSprint be named later. won a race in 2012 but past 17 Sprint Cup Vickers run 17 Cup races seahave yet tothis win this raceshas at Talladega son; he hasbya Matt win at New Hampshire season: Denny Hamlin, Superspeedway Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Kenseth, among drivers.

cream of the crop,” Keselowski said. “That’s how, obviously, they would make it in the Chase, and they should win races, and probably sweep the Chase, but this is a very good team.” He pointed out that his team has had a number of misfortunes this season, which kept him out of the top 13. “But along the way, all season long, we’ve had the speed, we’ve had what we need to be a championship team, we just haven’t put them all together,” he said. “All the pieces haven’t come together on the nights that count, and they did, for the most part [at Charlotte].” He did have one close call on Saturday, when the jack became stuck under his car after an early pit stop Brad Keselowski celebrates in Victory Lane at and he had to return to the pits and have it removed, which put him 35th Charlotte Motor Speedway. came at the expense of Johnson, who was in the running order at that point. “There have been weeks where we’ve had cruising at the head of the pack when a caution flag for debris allowed the leadthe speed and execution and we’ve just ers to pit and gave Keselowski a chance had some rotten luck,” he said. “It’s just to win.

Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski finally got his first Cup win of the 2013 season, as he bounced back from an early pit miscue to race past Kasey Kahne with nine laps remaining and win Saturday’s Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The victory, the 10th of Keselowski’s Cup career, came too late to help him in the championship hunt, as he missed the cut for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. He and Tony Stewart, in 2005-06, are the only two drivers in the history of the Chase to win the championship one year and fail to make the Chase the following year. Keselowski’s victory also put him in rather select company, as he’s now one of just 11 non-Chase drivers to win a Chase race since the new championship format was adopted in 2004. It’s happened a total of 16 times, and the last to do it before Keselowski was Kahne, at Phoenix in 2011. Behind Keselowski on the track at Charlotte and far ahead of him in the points standings, the top two championship contenders, Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson, battled to a virtual tie, with Kenseth finishing third and Johnson fourth. As the Chase heads into its sixth race, at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, Kenseth leads Johnson by four points, with Kevin Harvick a fairly distant third, 29 points out of the lead. But for Keselowski, it was a win that showed that his No. 2 Ford team is one of the sport’s elite, even if it’s not among the current championship contenders. “The perception is, and rightfully so, that the guys that are in the Chase are the

SPORTS BRIEFS • Lions’ Suh to be fined again ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press the NFL has fined Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh $31,500 for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the fine had not been announced. Earlier in the day, Ndamukong Suh insisted he was unaware the NFL was reviewing his hit on Weeden on Sunday. Suh wasn’t penalized for the play, but it was shown on a video posted on NFL. com as vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said he wanted to look at it more for “potential helmet to the body.” Suh was fined $100,000 for an illegal block on Minnesota center John Sullivan in Week 1.

Freeman to start for Vikings EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Josh Freeman will be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night against the New York Giants. Vikings coach Leslie Frazier made the announcement after practice on Wednesday. Frazier also said that Christian Ponder will be the backup, not Matt Cassel, assuming Freeman makes it through the week without problems. “I like the things he’s done in his career, along with what he’s done since he arrived here with our football team, the time he put in, how well he’s adapted to our system,” Frazier said. “He’s done enough for us to say we want to give him this opportunity, which is something we had in mind when we acquired him. I think now is the time. Our coaching staff is going to do a great job in preparing him, making sure we have a game plan that will allow him to be successful and allow our team to be successful.” Freeman will be the third starter in the last four games for the Vikings (1-4). He was cut by Tampa Bay on Oct. 3 and signed by Minnesota to a one year contract five days later. Freeman started 59 games over four-plus seasons with the Buccaneers. The 25-year-old former first-round draft pick threw for 25 touchdowns and just six interceptions in 2010, his first full season as a starter, but has been up and down since. Frazier said he was impressed by Freeman’s first practice with the team. “The way he functioned that day, it was far different than what I expected, than what any of our coaches expected,” Frazier said. “But he had worked hard once he arrived. From the moment he stepped in the building, he wanted to learn. And the way he handled himself in that practice, it changed my mindset about the possibilities.”

Bourdais signs with KVSH BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Four-time series champion Sebastien Bourdais has signed a two-year deal with KVSH Racing to replace Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan. The contract confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday gives team principals Kevin Kalkhoven, Jimmy Vasser and James “Sulli” Sullivan hope that KVSH can compete for titles going forward now that it has a driver that is tied for second with Mario Andretti and Dario Franchitti for series championships. Kanaan won the Indianapolis 500 in May with KVSH, but decided to leave for Chip Ganassi Racing next year. KVSH acted fast in offering the same deal it offered Kanaan to three-race winner James Hinchcliffe, but the team gave Hinchcliffe a short deadline to accept the contract that did not require the driver to bring any sponsorship. When Hinchcliffe decided KVSH’s timeline was too fast, the team moved on to Bourdais, winner of four consecutive Champ Car titles from 2004 through 2007. Bourdais has 31 victories, tied with Franchitti and Paul Tracy for eighth on the wins list.

Dallas Cowboys release DT Ratliff after failed physical IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jay Ratliff’s mysterious and rapid decline with the Dallas Cowboys has ended with his release. The Cowboys unloaded the apparently disgruntled defensive tackle on Wednesday, saying he failed a physical after spending the first six weeks of the season on the physically unable to perform list. He was eligible to be activated this week. Ratliff missed the last six games of 2012 with a groin injury that required surgery. The four-time Pro Bowler injured his hamstring during the conditioning test before training camp in July and never practiced for the Cowboys this season. The ninth-year pro wasn’t seen by reporters in the locker room all season after hinting there was tension with the Dallas medical staff, and agent Mark Slough said his relationship with team doctors was “strained.” But Ratliff tried to put a happy face on his departure in a statement issued by Slough, thanking “the best fans in the NFL” and giving owner Jerry Jones credit for “taking a chance” on a seventh-round pick from 2005 who went to four straight Pro Bowls. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Cowboys and it was always my desire to begin and end my career here in Dallas,” Ratliff said. “But I understand this business and now it’s time to move on, turn the page and begin again.”

Deer tracking dogs can save the day Having to track a wounded deer with a dog combines deer hunting’s worst-case scenario with man’s best friend. In some states it is illegal, in others it is legal but only OUTDOORS done as a WITH DON charitable favor between Don Mulligan hunters, and in some places it is big business. In every case, it is a sight to behold and often the only way some deer are ever recovered. “The first thing you learn when you track as many deer as we do, is that all the old wives’ tales about what wounded deer do are nonsense,” said Ryan Rothhaar, Cloverdale, Ind. Rothhaar and his partner Katia track deer within an hour of their home every year at no charge using their professionally trained, four-year-old Standard European Dachshund, Oskar. “We have never tracked a wounded deer that went to water to die, for example,” he said. “Almost all of them simply go to a bedding area, whether they were shot in the morning or in the evening.” He also revealed that the majority of deer not recovered by hunters are shot too high in the deer’s

body. In this, and any other situation that requires a dog to find a wounded deer, Rothhaar has some advice to make success more likely. “Stay off the trail and call us immediately,” he said. In fact, most deer trackers prefer talking to hunters before season. There are situations they can help the hunter avoid which will make the odds of success a lot better. For example, even the best tracking dog has a tough time following a wounded deer from the point where hunters lost the trail. Rothhaar says that spot is like a “scent-bomb” to a tracking dog and prefers hunters don’t even follow a trail if they think they made a bad hit on a deer. “People wander all over in these spots trying to re-find the trail. They trample any deer scent and leave all kinds of foreign smells for the dog to sort out”, he said. “If we get past the scent-bomb spot and back on the trail, we are usually pretty successful at finding the deer, but it can be tough.” Not every wounded deer Rothhaar tracks is recovered or even dead, however. For this reason he doesn’t take any money for his services. Money makes him an employee of the hunter and he prefers reserving the right to decide if a hit was nonfatal. If no money changes hands, Rothhaar feels comfortable ending the search, regardless of the hunter’s opinion. Not all deer trackers work for free. Many accept

Hunters can help those who are hungry

This fall, some Hoosiers who need some help will be able to put more food on the table, thanks to deer hunters and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Law Enforcement’s Sportsman’s Benevolence Fund. The fund makes it possible for hunters to donate venison through a participating butcher by paying the processing fee. To participate, a licensed deer hunter must legally harvest a deer, field dress it and deliver it to a participating butcher. DON MULLIGAN “This program provides Katia Rothhaar and her tracking dog, Oskar, located this 171-inch Indiana buck after an opportunity for our hunters to demonstrate their the hunter lost the trail.

Baggage handler sets off bombs as prank at LAX

Enterprise renting motorcycles in Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) â€” Enterprise Rent-A-Car is taking a leap into the motorcycle business with a new, Las Vegas-based fleet of Harley-Davidsons. The company better known for four-wheeled vehicles launched its two-wheeled line on Wednesday, marking the first time a major car rental company is offering motorcycles in the U.S. Enterprise Vice President Steve Short says the company started the pilot program in Sin City because it sees opportunity among tourists who want to venture out to attractions like Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Customers can now rent five different Harley models from a new Enterprise branch on Flamingo Road. Two more models should be available by the end of November. Las Vegas visitors have long been able to rent motorcycles around the Strip, but this is the first time a major car rental company is offering them.

Four dead after boat capsizes near Florida MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) â€” Ten people were found clinging to the hull of a small boat that capsized early Wednesday off South Florida, trapping the bodies of four dead women and one survivor in a tiny pocket of air beneath it. The fifteen people appeared to be making a perilous journey that thousands try each year. Migrants from Haiti, Cuba and other Caribbean countries routinely attempt to illegally enter the U.S. by reaching Floridaâ€™s coast in overloaded or unseaworthy vessels, often through established smuggling networks that include islands in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. Early Wednesday, one of the survivors called 911 on a cellphone, alerting authorities to their location seven miles east of Miami. â€œSadly, and tragically, we did find four females, adults, underneath the boat that had perished,â€? said Coast Guard Cmdr. Darren Caprara. The survivor found when Coast Guard officials flipped over the boat was suffering seizures and he was taken by boat to a Miami Beach hospital, officials said.

The former secretary of Clinton state told the crowd at Ciprianiâ€™s restaurant that â€œwe still have so far to goâ€? when it comes to helping those affected by HIV and AIDS. â€œThere are so many challenges in front of us,â€? Clinton said.

A woman looks at the aftermath of landslides in the rubble of smashed houses in Oshima after a powerful typhoon hit Izu Oshima island, about

75 miles south of Tokyo Wednesday. Typhoon Wipha triggered landslides and caused multiple deaths on the Japanese island.

Typhoon slams Japan with winds, mudslides TOKYO (AP) â€” A typhoon caused deadly mudslides that buried people and destroyed homes on a Japanese island Wednesday before sweeping up the Pacific coast, grounding hundreds of flights and disrupting Tokyoâ€™s transportation during the morning rush. At least 17 deaths were reported and nearly 50 people were missing. Hardest hit from Typhoon Wipha was Izu Oshima island, which is about 75 miles south of Tokyo. Rescuers found 16 bodies, most of them buried by mudslides, police and town officials said. Dozens of homes were destroyed, and about 45 people were missing. A woman from Tokyo died after falling into a river and being washed

10 kilometers (6 miles) downriver to Yokohama, police said. Two sixth-grade boys and another person were missing on Japanâ€™s main island, Honshu, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. More than 350 homes were damaged or destroyed, including 283 on Izu Oshima, it said. The typhoon, which stayed offshore in the Pacific, had sustained winds of 126 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour), with gusts up to 180 kph (110 mph), before it was downgraded to a tropical storm Wednesday evening. The storm was moving northeast, off the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. More than 80 centimeters (30 inches) of rain fell on Izu Oshima during a 24-hour period ending

Wednesday morning, the most since record-keeping began in 1991. The rainfall was particularly heavy before dawn, the kind in which â€œyou canâ€™t see anything or hear anything,â€? Japan Meteorological Agency official Yoshiaki Yano said. Izu Oshima is the largest island in the Izu chain southwest of Tokyo. It has one of Japanâ€™s most active volcanoes, Mount Mihara, and is a major base for growing camellias. About 8,200 people live on the island, which is accessible by ferry from Tokyo. Yutaka Sagara, a 59-year-old sushi chef on the east coast of the island, said he spent a sleepless night with colleagues at their company housing.

Project aims to give women their due on Wikipedia PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) â€” Look up a female scientist or technologist on Wikipedia, and you might not find what youâ€™re looking for. Many donâ€™t have detailed pages or any page at all on the free online encyclopedia created by contributors, the vast majority of them men. Itâ€™s a symptom of a larger problem for women in so-called STEM fields â€” science, technology, engineering and mathematics â€” where men far outnumber women. Even women who have done pioneering work in these fields donâ€™t always get recognition. Since 2009, no woman has won a Nobel Prize in science. A Brown University biology professor and an alumna hope to help chip away at the problem with a

LOS ANGELES (AP) â€” A baggage handler arrested after dry ice bombs exploded at Los Angeles International Airport planted the devices as a prank, police said Wednesday. The motive was disclosed a day after the arrest of Dicarlo Bennett, a 28-year-old employee for the ground handling company Servisair. â€œI think we can safely say he is not a terrorist or an organized crime boss. He did this for his own amusement,â€? said Los Angeles police Deputy Chief Michael Downing, who heads the departmentâ€™s counter-terrorism and special operations bureau. No one was hurt on Sunday when two plastic bottles packed with dry ice exploded in an employee bathroom and on the airportâ€™s tarmac. An unexploded device was

found Monday night. As a result of the incident, airport officials plan to meet with law enforcement authorities to examine potential security enhancements at the nationâ€™s second-busiest airport. The meeting also will explore the handling and transport of dry ice and other hazardous materials and possible improvements to those procedures. Arif Alikhan, deputy executive director for Homeland Security and Law Enforcement at Los Angeles World Airports, said such meetings are routine after problems. â€œWeâ€™ll look at all layers of security existing at the airport, including technology, physical infrastructure, the partnership of tenants, awareness of employees to potential hazardous items like dry ice,â€? Alikhan said.

Suicide bomber kills 8 in Pakistan DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) â€” A suicide bomber shot his way into the residence of a provincial government minister Wednesday in northwestern Pakistan, killing the official and seven others in an explosion, police said. The blast near the town of Dera Ismail Khan also wounded more than 30 people, senior police officer Mohammad Jan said. The minister of law for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Israullah Gandapur, was meeting

with people at his house to celebrate the Muslim Eid holiday when the bomber struck, Jan said. The attacker first shot dead the guard at the house before blowing himself inside the guest room of the ministerâ€™s residence, the officer said. The minister died on the way to the hospital. The suicide bomber got very close to the minister before the blast and carried about eight kilograms (17 pounds) of explosives on his body, Jan said.

Wikipedia â€œedit-a-thon,â€? one of many thatâ€™s been held in recent years to help increase the representation of women on Wikipedia. They gathered dozens of students and some faculty members this week at Brown to train them on how to add and edit pages. They also provided lists of suggestions for women to add. Among those listed was Ingeborg Hochmair, who does not have a page even though last month she won the prestigious Lasker Award for medical research for her work developing the modern cochlear implant. By contrast, her husband, Erwin Hochmair, an accomplished engineer who helped develop the device but did not win a Lasker prize, has his own page.

Only time can heal pain of losing pets DEAR ABBY: You gave some nice advice to “Afraid of the Loss” (June 25), who wrote concerning the impending death of a beloved pet. I think your suggestion of a support group is helpful, but having lost a pet I had for 16 years, I have experienced the deep pain this man will feel. Adding a second pet to his home while his pet is still alive often energizes an older pet. When the time comes, it will help the human to have another loving pet to help with the grieving. As I learned, only time was able to take the deep hurt to a place where I could think of him without tears. Keeping the ashes of a pet can be comforting, whether you choose to bury them later or tuck them away in your home. Most important is having a plan for when that moment comes so you automatically know what needs to be done. It really helped to have all the

DEAR ABBY: Your pet is your child. Anyone who doesn’t understand that isn’t worth worrying about when the loss occurs. Will it hurt? Of course. But the pain does ease in time. When my first dog died, I spoke with a grief counselor at the local veterinary college. It didn’t make my pain disappear, but it helped me to understand it more. Your pet does not live in the future, but in the moment. Enjoy every moment you have together and accept the unconditional love your pet has given you. You WILL get through it. — DEB 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.

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve tried to quit smoking on my own, but it never lasts. Could medications help? How do they work? DEAR READER: Medicines can help, and they have improved “quit rates.” Although smoking is a particularly hard habit to break, you can do it. The proof: There are more ex-smokers in the United States today than there are smokers. Cigarette smoke contains many different substances that damage the tissues of the body and increase the risk of cancer. But those damaging substances are not what make you addicted to cigarettes. Nicotine, one of the many dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes, is what addicts you. It doesn’t damage your tissues; it just makes you want to smoke. Each hit of nicotine produces pleasure. But as nicotine leaves the body, you begin to experience

details of his final moments thought out so I felt in control. I wouldn’t have missed the love of my dog even knowing the pain that has come in DEAR to the end. It’s ABBY something that should be on Jeanne Phillips everyone’s bucket list. — CATHY DEAR CATHY: My thanks to you and all the readers who sent heartfelt letters supporting “Afraid.” It’s easy to see why dogs are called man’s best friend because of all the love, affection, entertainment and companionship they give us, and why we only want the best for them in this life and after. Read on:

called an e-cigarette) delivers a low dose of nicotine through the mouth, throat and lungs. You use the inhaler when you feel the urge for a cigarette. • Lozenges supply a low dose of nicotine that gets absorbed into your bloodstream. Two other quit-smoking medications do not contain nicotine; they act on the brain to decrease nicotine cravings, nicotine withdrawal symptoms, or both. Varenicline (Chantix) and bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban) are prescription drugs. They imitate some effects of nicotine, cutting down on cravings and withdrawal symptoms. So if you slip and have a cigarette, you will experience less of a reward. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
