LAGRANGE — Christy T. Shaffer, a Topeka woman who served less than three months of a 10-year prison sentence for neglect involving the death of a toddler, returned to court Wednesday, this time charged with two methamphetamine-related offenses. Shaffer, 35, was arrested Tuesday just outside of Topeka after she was implicated during the Nov. 1 arrest of two men in

Topeka charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. Shaffer allegedly called one of the men on his cellphone while police were conducting their investigation. A drug test administered by authorities on Shaffer a few days later turned up positive for methamphetamine. Shaffer was then picked up by police officers on Tuesday and charged with two class D felonies, maintaining a common nuisance and possession of methamphetamine. Both counts

Shaffer made her initial appearance on the new charges Wednesday afternoon in LaGrange County Circuit Court by video link from the county jail. Senior Judge Robert Probst of Noble County presided.

School battle erupts Dispute ends with Ritz storming out

Utility regulator’s job change under attack INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Some consumer groups are criticizing an Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission member’s move to a private organization that oversees the Midwest electrical grid. The state inspector general has cleared Kari Bennett’s decision to resign from the utility commission and become senior corporate counsel the Carmel-based Midcontinent Independent System Operator, The Indianapolis Star reported. Indiana law requires state employees to wait for a year after leaving government to take a job as a lobbyist or with an organization with whom they negotiated any contracts or made decisions that affected the new employer.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A meeting that produced a new outline for grading Indiana schools turned chaotic Wednesday when the state’s top education official stormed out, escalating an already testy battle with Republican Gov. Mike Pence. Democratic Superintendent Glenda Ritz abruptly left the meeting of the state school board she chairs when a Pence appointee tried to transfer certain student assessment powers from her office to a second education department created by the governor earlier this year. “This meeting is adjourned,” Ritz said repeatedly, while packing her things and walking out. Department of Education staff quickly followed suit, while leaders of Pence’s second education department and the other board members stayed put. It is unclear whether Ritz ended the meeting. Before Ritz left, the board voted to approve new school grade categories and broadly accept the recommendations of a bipartisan panel formed in the wake of a scandal earlier this year. Indiana’s “A-F” school grading formula was investigated after an Associated Press report showed Ritz’s predecessor, Tony Bennett, changed the rules to raise the grade of a political donor’s charter school from a “C” to an “A” last year. Bennett resigned his job as Florida’s schools chief amid the scandal. Wednesday’s vote was a rare moment of unity between Ritz and the other members of the board in an ongoing education war. Ritz accused Pence Tuesday

Historian honoring a pioneer Auburn woman was first in state to win election AUBURN — The Eckhart Public Library and the DeKalb County historian have partnered to honor Dr. Lida (Powers) Leasure, the first woman elected to public office in Indiana. A program on Leasure will take place Saturday at 3 p.m. at the library. The public is invited to attend and meet members of the Leasure family, who will be in attendance. “Dr. Leasure was an incredible lady. She held enormous amount of integrity, was honest, and one of the most respected and popular persons in the county,” said John Bry, DeKalb County historian. The 100th anniversary of Leasure becoming the first woman elected to public office was in 2011, and Bry believed there should be an official recognition of the milestone. He began searching for Leasure’s descendants and found them within 48 hours. Many of the family members reside in Indianapolis today.

Leasure was born in central Indiana and attended Indiana State Normal School, now Indiana State University, to obtain her teaching credentials in the late 19th century. She located in Auburn, where she taught at the former Riley School in the city. Leasure then attended the University of Michigan, where she obtained her medical degree. She began her practice of medicine and Leasure was the second female physician in DeKalb County. She met and married John Leasure, who owned the Auburn City Hardware and was dubbed “Groundhog John” by the locals. “John was fascinated by groundhogs. He often kept them on display in front of the hardware in cages, and at the family home on West 7th Street. Needless to

Doctors are told to get serious about obesity ATLANTA (AP) — Next time you go for a checkup, don’t be surprised if your doctor gets on your case about your weight. The medical profession has issued new guidelines for fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic, and they urge physicians to be a lot more aggressive about helping patients drop those extra pounds. Doctors should calculate your body mass index, a weight-to-height ratio. And if you need to lose weight, they should come up with a plan and send you for counseling. “We recognize that telling patients to lose weight

By next year, most insurance companies are expected to cover counseling and other obesity treatments, following in the steps of the Medicare program, which began paying for one-on-one help last year. More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, and that’s been the case since the middle of the last decade. Officials define someone with a BMI of 30 or higher as obese. A 5-foot-9 person would be obese at 203 pounds.

Our Letter Policy •

All vets deserve thanks; post-9/11 vets deserve jobs Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, remembering those who served in the U.S. military during World War I, which ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace,” according to a congressional declaration. Nearly four decades later, Post-9/11 veterans Congress the remain unemployed at expanded observance higher levels than vets into a of other eras, and the national holiday general population. honoring all American military service men and women. The nation pays tribute in various ways, from parades in small-town streets, educational programs in schools, ceremonies by veterans organizations, special discounts for vets at restaurants and shops, personal ads in local newspapers with pictures of relatives in uniform, and thank-yous posted on social media websites. Those sincere gestures are worthy and needed. … Still, there’s another form of gratitude that can offer a long-term impact. The U.S. must continue and intensify efforts to get post-9/11 veterans into the workforce. Post-9/11 veterans remain unemployed at higher levels than vets of other eras, and the general population. The jobless rate for post-9/11 veterans stood at 10.1 percent in November, well above the overall national unemployment rate of 7.2 percent. The rate for all other veterans, by comparison, was 6.3 percent, according to the online publication The Blaze. There are numerous contributing factors, but a couple are significant and repairable. One involves, of all things, a stigma. Last week, Starbucks admirably joined several other U.S. employers unveiling a hiring program specifically targeted at veterans. The javashop giant announced its intention to hire at least 10,000 veterans and spouses of active-duty service members over the coming five years. Earlier this year, Walmart instituted a similar objective, aiming to employ 100,000 veterans through 2018. JPMorgan Chase, Boeing and Microsoft have also begun programs to increase hiring of veterans. Sadly, those wonderful ventures stand in contrast to some other industries. In an NPR report last week, a staff attorney for Starbucks who helped craft the company’s veterans hiring program, recalled his own difficulties in finding work in the civilian labor force. Rob Porcarelli worked as a prosecutor in the U.S. Navy in the 1990s, but hit a roadblock early in his job hunt. “In one interview downtown, the head of the department said, ‘You know, Rob, I think you’re going to find more of the intellectual type in the law firm environment.’ And I remember thinking, ‘Maybe he’s joking. Did he just call me and all my friends stupid?’” The Starbucks plan bucks such disgraceful stereotyping. Post-9/11 vets also deserve to have their training for specific jobs in the military validated by smooth, rapid certification for equivalent civilian jobs once they’re back home. Many states, including Indiana, have worked to speed up the credentialing process for veterans with military-time skills in medicine, communications, welding, mechanics, truck-driving and heavy equipment operating, according to The Blaze’s story. As the unemployment numbers show, progress needs to continue. The skills, work ethic and leadership qualities of the returning service members should be a guiding force for employers as they hire. As operations conclude in Afghanistan, more than 1 million U.S. military vets will become civilians, looking for work, in the next few years. A job opportunity — the chance to put their hard-earned qualities to use — offers one important way to say, “Thank you.”

Letters To The Editor • Veteran’s Day parade should have had more viewers To the editor: I am very disappointed in the citizens of DeKalb County. My son and I attended the Veterans Day parade on this past Saturday. We only saw maybe and I stress maybe a dozen people lined up to watch the parade within the couple block area I could see from where we were standing. This is shameful. Where were you? It was a beautiful sunny, windy November day so you cannot blame it on the weather. Our local veterans deserve more respect than what they were shown on this day. At least that is my opinion. The streets of town should have been lined with people to honor these brave men and women who have fought and/or are fighting for our country. Something to think about when you lie down to sleep tonight.

Obama’s goal as stated by him in 2008’s campaign: “fundamentally transform America.” His goal, to destroy the Constitution of the United States of America, law of our country, our freedoms! What every veteran and those still on active duty fought for and are still fighting for! Obama: “How will I do this? I’ll control what Americans need. The health care system!” Obamacare signed in 2010, $718 billion transferred from Medicare. In 2012, Obamacare classified as a tax by Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. Obama’s campaigning (still) to promote his legacy, Obamacare (The Affordable Care Act). How? By promises: “If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance, period! If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period!” Promises that everyone (Americans) will be covered by insurance. Those with pre-existing conditions “will be covered.” Obama: “I will emphasize this over and over, again and again.” Obama keeps up with dividingAmerica tactics, making sure that whatever happens is blamed on everyone else “but me” (Obama). “I’ll continue to blame Bush and his administration and the Republicans and the tea party!” National debt — Bush added $4 trillion in eight years. Even though Obama added $6.5 trillion in 3 1/2 years. Republicans and some Democrats wanted! Decrease the size of the national debt and government! The only money in Obamacare was taken from Medicare! Republicans Ted Cruz and Mike Lee wanted Obamacare defunded! Obamacare will add $2 trillion to the national debt, plus Obamacare wanted a credit card with “no limit” — the reason for the shutdown (three weeks). But hiring continued and the stock market continued to stay high. (Shutdown didn’t hurt.) Who pays for Obamacare? Those paying — young, 18-36; healthy 37-60; even seniors. Obama’s family, Congress, federal employed are exempt and subsidized. Seventy-one percent will be paid by taxpayers. Obama also gave unions exemptions. This was a mandate. Obama could have given a mandate to the taxpaying Americans. This was not his plan! Millions are losing private and company-paid insurance. Obama’s plan is to get rid of private insurance companies across America. The federal government (Obama) wants complete control of everyone in America! He considers Americans too stupid to make their own choices! Obamacare dictates what will and won’t be covered (your health). The Affordable Care Act is a mandated-tax insurance. Are the exchanges failing a deliberate plan? How many have lost all their personal information? No matter — there will still be over 30 million uninsured. Also, the pay out of pocket for healthy Americans will be $2,000 and up to $15,000 a year. If the minimum wage is increased, the price on food and all products will continue to go up. We need hiring to permit positions. This will happen when the job growth increases. This will happen when government gets out of the lives of Americans’ business large and small! Without the taxpayers, the federal government would shut down permanently! Obama would have to pay for his transportation and fund his extravagant vacations! Pray for America and continue to thank our veterans and all those still serving their country. God bless America! Marilyn Carr Auburn

Kerry fears ruining Iran talks WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry warned Congress Wednesday against scuttling a historic opportunity for a nuclear pact with Iran by pressing ahead with new sanctions while international negotiators close in on a deal aimed at ending fears that Tehran is trying to assemble an atomic weapons arsenal. Kerry, who as a senator joined the effort to impose crippling oil, trade and

investment restrictions on Iran, said the United States and other world powers are united behind an offer they presented to Iranian negotiators in Geneva last week. But he said new action now from U.S. lawmakers could shatter the international coalition made up of countries with interests as divergent as France, Russia and China, ending hopes of a peaceful end to the decade-long nuclear standoff with the Islamic republic.

“We put these sanctions in place in order to be able to put us in the strongest position possible to be able to negotiate. We now are negotiating,” Kerry told reporters ahead of testifying before the Senate Banking Committee. “And the risk is that if Congress were to unilaterally move to raise sanctions, it could break faith in those negotiations, and actually stop them and break them apart.”

SUSPECT: Shaffer to be held 15 days without bail 77 days of the 10-year sentence he originally imposed after she was convicted of neglect of a dependent in the 2009 death of 16-month old Alissa Guernsey. Groups of people from around the nation have since shown up regularly on the LaGrange courthouse lawn to march and carry signs, protesting VanDerbeck’s decision to release Shaffer early. Alissa Guernsey was the child of Shaffer’s cousin, Kelli Sprunger, who was said to be suffering from an emotional breakdown

and drug use after the death of Alissa’s father in a car crash. The child was placed in Shaffer’s care by child services officials. During Wednesday’s hearing, the judge entered a preliminary plea of not guilty for Shaffer on the two felony charges and appointed LaGrange attorney Travis Glick to represent her. Shaffer is scheduled back in court Dec. 23 at 1:30 p.m. for a pretrial conference. Shaffer’s arrest on two felony counts also could violate her probation in the neglect case, with the

potential to send her back to prison to serve the remainder of her 10year sentence. Probst agreed to the prosecutor’s request to hold Shaffer for 15 days without bail while the probation department investigates its case against her. The judge scheduled a hearing to discuss Shaffer’s potential probation violation for Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 11 a.m. in the LaGrange County Circuit Courtroom. Once the 15-day hold on Shaffer expires, she would then be held for $5,000 bond.

justify all … of these factors,” Bergthold said. He said the city was correct in enacting laws governing sexually oriented businesses on Sept. 17, 2012, and that Showgirl could not be grandfathered for use under a previous ordinance because it had not yet opened. “They were never in a position to operate a sexually oriented business,” Bergthold said. Wednesday afternoon’s hearing was a continuation of an Oct. 25 hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction. The hearing lasted just short of four hours. Miller ordered Butler’s attorneys to submit within a week a draft of how they believe an injunction, if granted, should read. In another 30 days, the attorneys are supposed to submit proposed findings. Most of Wednesday’s hearing was devoted to further testimony by Likes in cross examination. Hoffer tried to implicate Likes in delaying Butler’s efforts to get an improvement location permit until city zoning law was changed. “Did you intentionally delay processing the permit?” Bergthold asked Likes. “No,” she responded. Hoffer implied that Likes failed to answer emails from Seibert, though Likes testified she could not recall if that were the case. When Butler did apply for an improvement location permit in November 2012, it took nearly a month for Likes to deny the request due to an alleged lack of information. City regulations say a permit can’t be accepted for consideration if it is incomplete, and Likes said the Butler application was a mess. Bergthold said Butler ignored the city’s opinion on public gathering places, yet took no action to appeal. Hoffer said Twitchell has lied about his knowledge of Butler’s intent, first testifying in a February appeals hearing that he

thought the former Slider’s was going to become a steak house. Then, Hoffer said, “(Twitchell) let slip that he knew” that the property was going to be a strip club when he said in court that a wall he questioned was for a dressing room for the dancers. “Why is it there was this change of heart for Mr. Twitchell?” Hoffer asked. “What changed is the city put the screws to Dean Twitchell.” Bergthold said Butler was not allowed to claim a vested right to operate because he violated city law in removing a load-bearing wall, for which a permit is required. Also, Bergthold said, all of the allegations made about Twitchell were for activity that should be considered moot because Butler’s property would not meet the setback standard of the Sept. 17, 2012, sexually oriented business law, which requires 750 feet of separation from any property that contains a residence. The Butler property abuts at least three properties that contain residential structures. Hoffer argued that shortly after Butler purchased the property, the city sprang into action to enact laws that would prevent Butler from opening. “The important thing was keeping a gentlemen’s club out of town,” Hoffer said. While there might be a ruling shortly after the new year on the motion for preliminary injunction, the case could be far from over. Still on the table is a motion from the city for summary judgment, which is a request of the judge to make a ruling based on written arguments. Beyond that, there likely could be appeals by either side if they lose, and if their pockets are deep enough. During discussion about certain documents that would be allowed as evidence, attorneys for both sides said they wanted certain items admitted so they would be on the record in the event of an appeal.

SCHOOL: Control of education system is at stake FROM PAGE A1

of conducting a “complete takeover” of education policy over the past month. A Pence spokeswoman said he has worked “in good faith” with Ritz. At stake is control of Indiana’s education system and the sweeping education changes put in place by Bennett and former Gov. Mitch

Daniels. Indiana Republicans approved the nation’s most sweeping school voucher law in 2011 and have expanded on it somewhat, in addition to dozens of other changes long sought by conservative education reformers. Former Bennett staffers have accused Ritz of targeting Bennett with a series of public records

releases. The Associated Press obtained campaign fundraising lists Bennett and his staff kept on state computers. The other members of the state board, all of whom were appointed by Pence or Daniels, have accused Ritz of dragging her feet in implementing laws she openly campaigned against last year.

HISTORIAN: Official marker planned for Leasure FROM PAGE A1

gave up most of her medical practice to focus on her educational work, serving as a teacher and principal of Auburn City Schools. She also was an author and noted speaker. Leasure played a key role in establishing the first public library in Auburn and what eventually would become Eckhart Public Library. In 1911, she became the first woman elected to public office in Indiana by winning election as the county school superintendent. “School superintendents were elected positions at the time. Dr. Leasure was not only the first woman elected to public office, but she also became the first female school superinten-

dent in Indiana, as well. It was a distinction that clearly illustrated Dr. Leasure appealed to many people across DeKalb County. She was admired and respected,” Bry said. Special legislation had to be enacted for Dr. Leasure to take her oath of office, because women did not have the right to vote in the United States at that time, Bry added. Leasure died at her home in Auburn in 1931. Her husband, John, would follow in 1932. They were preceded in death by a daughter, Flossie. Their son, John, pursued a career in the medical field like his mother, but lived most of his life in Indianapolis, where Bry found members of the Leasure family living today.

“The family is honored the community is at last recognizing their grandmother, and it is long overdue,” Bry said. A special proclamation from state Sen. Dennis Kruse will be presented to the family during Saturday’s program. In April 2014, Bry will begin a year-long process with the Indiana Historical Society to erect an official state historic marker to Leasure. It would be the second official state historic marker in the county. Bry also is contacting school corporations in the county, outlining Leasure’s achievements and asking that one of the school districts in the county consider naming a facility in Leasure’s honor.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — A.J. Hammons didn’t look like he’d missed any playing time. Purdue’s 7-foot center returned after being suspended for both exhibition games and the regularseason opener for violating team rules. He had 12 points, seven blocks and five rebounds in just 17 minutes to help the Boilermakers beat Central Connecticut State 109-73 on Wednesday night. Hammons said he was glad to be back. “It felt really great, to tell you the truth,” he said. “Sitting on the bench kind of sucked. It felt good to be out there with my teammates.” Hammons wasn’t trying to make up for lost time when he returned. “I just came out to play,” he said. “Coaches told me to just focus and don’t try to do too much extra stuff. They said to just come out and play. I made a couple of good plays, I guess, at the beginning and it just kept going into the second half.” At times last season, Hammons could be lured into committing fouls on his block attempts. He got his seven blocks on Wednesday while committing just one foul. “We talk about it,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “We watch film in terms of when to wall up and stay big and when to be able to commit

to blocking a shot. You don’t realize how big he is until sometimes when he just actually raises his hands, and sometimes, he’ll block a shot just standing flat on his feet.” Terone Johnson scored 17 points, Rapheal Davis scored 14 points and Errick Peck and Ronnie Johnson each added 11 for the Boilermakers (2-0), who bounced back from a shaky effort in a 77-76 win over

Northern Kentucky on Nov. 8. The Boilermakers shot 54 percent from the field and committed just nine turnovers. It was the highest point total by a Purdue team since scoring 119 against LIU-Brooklyn on Nov. 14, 1997. Kyle Vinales scored 22 points for Central Connecticut State, but he made just 6 of 21 field goals.

Faronte Drakeford added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Blue Devils (0-2). “We were basically helpless,” Central Connecticut coach Howie Dickenman said. “I’ve been around the block a little bit, but I don’t think I’ve ever used the word ‘helpless’ because we just didn’t have any answers.” Central Connecticut started off on an 8-2 run. After Purdue evened things up at 10, the Blue Devils pushed their lead out to 17-12. The Boilermakers responded with an 18-0 run that spanned more than five minutes to take control of the game. “We just decided that we were going to lock down and play harder than the way we had before,” Peck said. “We got some rebounds, got the ball moving a little bit. Just rebounding the ball was really key.” Purdue shot 54 percent in the first half, taking a 54-32 lead at the break. Johnson scored 10 points in the first half while Peck added seven. Hammons had six points and five blocks in 10 minutes of action in the first half. “He seemed like he did whatever he wanted to do,” Dickenman said. “Big, wide, space-eater, and we just couldn’t handle him.”

Team concept huge for Pacers Kershaw, INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Paul George looked up at the scoreboard Monday night and realized Lance Stephenson was closing in on a triple-double, he got right to work. As George went on another scoring binge to help the Pacers pull away from Memphis, he wanted Stephenson to share the spotlight. So George quickly made a 20-foot jumper with 10:56 left in the game, giving Stephenson his 10th assist, then jogged over to his teammate and gave him a low-five. It’s hardly an unprecedented sight around the NBA, but in a league that has been built on big names, individual numbers and 1-on-1 matchups, George’s reaction was emblematic of what the Pacers have become — a team that celebrates everyone’s accomplishments. “I think it’s different from most of the teams I’ve been around, other than the last two or three years,” said coach Frank Vogel, who has spent 17 seasons working in the NBA. “I think this is the most selfless team I’ve been part of.” What the NBA’s last unbeaten team has cobbled together is a perfect mix of productivity, stability and camaraderie. Four of Indiana’s five starters are averaging double figures, led by George (24.9 points) and Stephenson (14.3). Fans have already been serenading George with chants of “MVP! MVP!”, and Stephenson has made no secret he wants to become the next Indiana player to earn the league’s Most Improved Player Award. George won it last season.

Colts, Titans eager to play tonight NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Colts and Titans both feel embarrassed and disgusted with themselves, ready to move. They get to do so quickly. Indianapolis is coming off its worst loss since 2011, and Tennessee just became the first team to lose to the Jaguars. So both the Colts and Titans are eager to play again, even if their bodies still ache with a four-day turnaround. The faster the better so at least one team can ease the pain in this AFC South showdown. “That we can get back on the field as soon as possible and atone for our sins if you will,” Colts quarterback Andrew Luck said of playing Thursday night. “I’m sure the Titans are feeling the same way.” The Colts lost 38-8 to St. Louis and former Titans coach Jeff Fisher last week in their worst loss since being routed by 55 points in New Orleans in 2011. They fell behind early — again — and Luck couldn’t pull them out of another hole. Still,

they have a two-game lead over the Titans in the AFC South, and a win would give them a road victory over each divisional team. “We know that’s going to be a heavyweight fight,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. The Titans not only are trying to bounce back from a short week but also the loss of their starting quarterback. Jake Locker suffered a Lisfranc injury to his right foot in last week’s 29-27 loss to Jacksonville, moving Ryan Fitzpatrick into the lineup for the rest of the season. This is the first of two games between these teams in three weeks. A Tennessee win not only trims the Colts’ lead in the division but keeps a franchise chasing its first playoff berth since 2008 in the mix for the AFC’s final wild-card berth. “Being able to get the Colts two times in three weeks, that’d be pretty good for us if we can pull that off,” Titans running back Chris Johnson said.

“It’s unbelievable. It just vindicates everything I’ve done,” he said, acknowledging all the run support he received from Detroit’s powerful lineup probably helped his candidacy. “I’ve been working so hard all these years to get better and better,” he added. “I think I took a big step forward in 2013.” Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers was second, marking the highest finish by a Japanese-born pitcher in Cy Young voting. Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners came in third. Wainwright went 19-9 for St. Louis and finished behind Kershaw.

Dodgers pitcher has won the Cy Young since the award was first presented in 1956. Sandy Koufax won three times, and the Hall of Fame lefty has developed a friendship with Kershaw. Voting for the Cy Youngs was done before the playoffs began. Kershaw went 1-0 in two sharp starts against Atlanta in the division series, then lost twice to St. Louis in the NL championship. The Cardinals tagged him in a 9-0 romp in the clinching Game 6. “We came up short. I didn’t pitch the way I should have in the last game,” he said. Kershaw has been an All-Star the past three seasons and put up eye-popping statistics. Now, he said, the only thing left for him to do is win the World Series. “I want that ring,” he said.

We’ve won a lot. We’ve been through some tough times.”

Nationwide Series driver’s and owner’s championships both up for grabs at Homestead-Miami

Rusty Jarrett for Chevrolet

With Jimmie Johnson leaving Phoenix International Raceway with a 28-point lead over Matt Kenseth and needing to finish just 23rd in this week’s season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to secure his sixth Sprint Cup title, the post-race interviews at Phoenix were more like reflections on the season than buildup to the finale. Kenseth, who entered Phoenix just seven points out of the lead, struggled to a 23rd-place finish, so his only hopes for winning the title depend on a similar — and unlikely — collapse by Johnson at Homestead. Kenseth’s post-race comments came across like a concession speech, one in which he had nothing but praise for his No. 20 Toyota team, even though he’d just climbed from a car his crew was never able to get up to speed. “I’m obviously disappointed,” he said. “On the other hand, I couldn’t be happier and more proud of my team and, man … this has been the best year of my racing career, really. “It’s been an awesome season. You’re going to have days like this and of course we wanted to finish off here the last couple weeks. You can’t really just grab one race. “Some days are going to be great days, fortunately, for us, and others aren’t going to be as great.” His crew chief, Jason Ratcliff, shouldered the blame for the car’s lack of speed, and for confusion on a pit stop that cost them positions on the track. “Looking back on it now, the car just wasn’t responding the way that our typical Joe Gibbs Racing cars do,” he said. “They’re very responsive when you make changes to them. “All in all, I’m not so sure that our teammates didn’t fight something similar. So, I can’t say it’s a bad car. We just didn’t push the right button all weekend.” Over in the winner’s interview, Kevin Harvick and his car owner, Richard Childress — who will be separating after next weekend — seemed very happy to be able to close the current chapters of their lives on a positive note. That’s especially important to them after a dust-up at Martinsville in which Harvick was critical of Childress’ grandson Ty Dillon after the two crashed in the Camping World Truck Series race. Harvick even got emotional talking about his relationship with Childress, the only Cup owner he’s had for his entire career. “There’s no better way to go out than to do what we’ve done this year,” said Harvick, who took the lead coming to the white flag as race leader Carl Edwards ran out of fuel. “Obviously, we went to Martinsville and I said things that I shouldn’t have said and put everybody in a position that was not good, but I think we had conversations about things after that that probably made us closer as

Mark Martin scratch, it will be pretty cool,” he said. “It will be one tremendous career that we did some really great things and I got out of it without paying a big price.” Through his career, Martin has won 40 Cup races, 49 in the Nationwide Series and seven more in the Camping World Truck Series. He indicated he’ll probably do some testing and other work for Stewart-Haas Racing next year. Bobby Labonte has maintained that he’s open to more driving jobs, even if they’re in the Nationwide or Truck Series. Burton said he doesn’t foresee any of

Bobby Labonte the group walking away from NASCAR entirely. “I ﬁnd it hard to believe that we won’t still be around in some form or fashion,” he said. “Now the chances that any of us are going to be running for a Cup championship next year are obviously next to nothing. But Mark Martin has a tremendous amount of value of being able to have a positive impact on this sport in some form. So does Bobby Labonte, and I feel that about myself as well.” Burton said it’s inevitable that older drivers eventually move on, creating opportunities for a new crop of young drivers. “When I came in, a spot was created for me, somehow, some way,” he said. “It’s just the natural cycle of things.”

2013 Sprint Cup finale could mark end of an era for some established NASCAR stars It’s looking like Sunday’s Sprint Cup season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway could mark the end of a major era as far as some of the sport’s established stars are concerned. The Ford 400 likely will be the final Sprint Cup start for veteran Ken Schrader, and it could be the last for Bobby Labonte, who has not announced plans for 2014 and is losing his ride in the No. 47 Toyota. Mark Martin also said he has no immediate plans to continue racing. Jeff Burton will make his final run in the No. 31 Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing, but he’s not revealed his plans for next season other than to say he’ll be racing somewhere. Bill Elliott hasn’t made an official retirement announcement, but he hasn’t competed in Cup since July 2012, and Terry Labonte, now a part-time competitor, indicated recently that he doesn’t plan to continue racing indefinitely. Juan Pablo Montoya also will be leaving the NASCAR scene, taking a full-time IndyCar ride with Roger Penske next season. Martin, 54, told reporters at Phoenix that he’s not planning on racing after Homestead, where he’ll complete his stint at the wheel of the No. 14 Chevrolet usually driven by Tony Stewart, who is out with a broken leg. “If I get through Homestead without a

Both the driver’s and owner’s championships in the Nationwide Series are very much in play in Saturday’s season-ending Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Austin Dillon enters the race with an eightpoint lead over Sam Hornish Jr. in the driver contest after the two finished third and fifth, respectively, at Phoenix International Raceway last Saturday. On the owner’s side, J.D. Gibbs moved to within four points of leader Roger Penske after Gibbs’ No. 54, driven by Kyle Busch, scored his 12th win of the season. Penske entered the race up by 26 over Gibbs, but his No. 22 Ford, driven by Brad Keselowski, was damaged in a crash and finished 19th. Hornish, who does not have a ride for 2014, said he believes his eight-point deficit to Dillon can be overcome, and he said it would mean a lot to him to be able to capitalize on what could be his last chance to win a NASCAR title. “I want to win the championship because at this point in time, I don’t know what the opportunities for me to win another one will be,” he said. “I feel like this last year has shown something that I’ve known for a while, and it’s just me being able to back it up with the results. “We don’t have as many wins as we’d like to at this point, but I feel like being able to go out there and race against top-level Cup guys and to race the way that we did [at Phoenix] and throughout the season — I feel pretty good about that, so I’ve got my head held high on that one, and we’re going to continue to work hard to try to figure out how to continue to be in this sport as long as I can.” Busch said he was happy to be able to put Gibbs within reach of the owner’s title, especially after a disappointing 26th-place run at Texas the week before.

The youth movement continues in the Camping World Truck Series as another age record was set at Phoenix International Raceway last Friday. Erik Jones became the circuit’s youngest winner, at 17 years, 5 months and 9 days old. Erik Jones He broke the record celebrates his set earlier this year Lucas Oil 150 by Chase Elliott, who win at Phoenix. won at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park at age 17 years, 9 months and 4 days. Jones, racing in the Truck Series for the fifth time, led a race-high 84 laps [of 150] and made a daring pass on Ross Chastain with nine laps remaining to get the victory, which gives him top-10 finishes in all his Truck Series starts. “Being able to be the youngest winner here and get this deal done in the Truck Series is amazing,” Jones said. “Never would have ever thought I’d have the opportunity in the Truck Series this year before they lowered the age for these [shorter] tracks.” Jones got the win drivingDrivers the same Toyota in the top 10 Laps from the Kyle Busch Motorsports shoppoints that in Sprint Cup completed a victory victhis Darrell Wallace his historic this season by JamieJr. drove inwithout season: Dale McMurray, tops among all Speedway tory at Martinsville twoEarnhardt weeks Jr., Clint Bowyer and Kurt Sprint Cup drivers. before.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Manning misses practice ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning was a no-show to start practice Wednesday with the Denver Broncos. Manning is nursing a sore right ankle after taking a hit from Chargers defensive lineman Corey Liuget last Sunday. The Broncos reported no further damage to Manning’s ankle after an MRI on Monday. Interim coach Jack Del Rio said the quarterback’s status for practice would be determined later in the week but that Manning would definitely play Sunday night against Kansas City. Manning has been dealing with sore ankles since last month when he took hits in games against Jacksonville and Indianapolis in back-to-back weeks. The 16th-year veteran was held out of a Wednesday practice three weeks ago, before a game against the Redskins. He played that game and threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns.Associated Press

Former Raiders tight end Christensen dies at 57 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former Raiders tight end and five-time Pro Bowler Todd Christensen died from complications during liver transplant surgery. He was 57. Christensen’s son, Toby Christensen, said his father passed away Wednesday morning at Intermountain Medical Center near his home in Alpine, Utah. After a stellar career at running back for BYU from 1974-77, Christensen was a second-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL draft. He was waived by the Cowboys after training camp but landed the next year with the Raiders, where he played for 10 seasons at tight end and won two Super Bowls. After his retirement in 1988, he went on to a career in broadcasting and most recently worked for CBS Sports Network.

Peralta scored his first goal 3 minutes into the second half, collecting a cross from the left and slotting home a shot from 6 yards. He made it 4-0 with an 80th-minute header, and Rafael Marquez added scored in the 84th. Chris James scored a minute later for New Zealand. The second leg is next Wednesday in Wellington, New Zealand.

Jazz ball boy puts Jordan’s shoes up for auction SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A former Utah Jazz ball boy is selling Michael Jordan’s shoes from his famous “flu game” during the 1996 NBA Finals. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Preston Truman kept the shoes in a safe-deposit box at a Utah bank for 15 years. Truman, now 35, says he first befriended Jordan by running through the halls of the Salt Lake City arena to get Jordan his pregame applesauce. When the Chicago Bulls came back for the finals months later, Truman had more applesauce waiting for Jordan. Jordan was so impressed that after the game he offered Truman the shoes, with a signature. Auction officials say they verified the shoes were authentic. Grey Flannel Auctions says it will auction them online Nov. 18. Bidding begins at $5,000.

AP source: Louisville to pay $11 million AAC exit fee NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Louisville has agreed to pay the American Athletic Conference an $11 million exit fee so the Cardinals can join the Atlantic Coast Conference next year. Louisville announced last year that it planned to leave what was then called the Big East and join the ACC. Conference bylaws for the American require members to give two years’ notice and pay a $10 million exit fee. The conference announced Wednesday that its members had voted to terminate Louisville’s membership on July 1, 2014.

Florida State QB investigated for sexual assault TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is under investigation for an alleged sexual assault in December 2012. Florida State and Winston’s attorney confirmed Wednesday the investigation by the Tallahassee Police Department. Police officials refused to answer questions about the investigation.

A 101 lakes treasure is ready to be enjoyed

Indiana prepares to celebrate national recycling

BY PAUL OAKES

Ted Bohman is the property manager at Pokagon State Park and recently christened the new Trine State Recreation area, located on Seven Sisters Lakes, adjacent to and part of the main park. Greg Burns, the CEO of Cameron Hospital in Angola, and I were invited to a sneak preview with Ted and he really knows how to impress first-time guests. When we drove through the entrance to the park we had to dodge a large flock of wild turkeys, and a family of deer stood watching us pass by them. It gave us the flavor of what is going to be a spectacular addition to our community. Ted and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources are going to do their best to keep this area pristine, as a big draw for nature lovers — no outside boats of any kind, rentals only; strict opening and closing hours; registration of fish caught; supplying your own electric motor; and no camping (cabins only). The new piers and docks are first

rate and all the roads are freshly done. The fishing is as good as Mike Marturello told us it was earlier. Greg is a “Wisconsinner” and fishing is a part of his DNA. The grin in the picture is a testimony to our active time on the lake. He swears they grow bigger where he grew up but Ted assures us there are some real lunkers to be had now that the recreation area is open to the public. We caught about 20 bass and several nice bluegill on casting lures. A flyrodder will be in his element here. It was a genuine treat to get an early feel of what is going to be another chapter in the miracle that is the land of 101 lakes. PHOITO CONTRIBUTED

Organizations across the state are collecting recyclables leading up to the Nov. 15 — America Recycles Day. In 2011, the average American threw away almost 4 1/2 pounds of solid waste each day. That same person, on average, recycled or composted more than a pound and a half of waste. While that 35-percent recycle rate is great compared to the 10 percent it was in 1985, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is encouraging Hoosiers to reduce even more of what we send to the landfill, and to recycle as much as possible. That is why IDEM is joining Keep America Beautiful to promote ways of recycling electronic waste, along with other common household products such as cans, bottles, and newspapers. There are more than two dozen events across Indiana being sponsored by local businesses and community organizations to encourage recycling.

In 2011, the average American threw away almost 4 1/2 pounds of solid waste each day. That same person, on average, recycled or composted more than a pound and a half of waste.

• Events range from recycling collections to education outreach in schools and communities. These events will help people learn what can and cannot be recycled, and will help them find places in their communities to recycle on a regular basis. For more information about America Recycles Day or to learn how to start a community initiative to encourage more recycling, go to americarecyclesday.org.

Ohio governor stops execution

Four Marines die clearing explosives SAN DIEGO (AP) — Four Marines were killed Wednesday during an operation to clear a range of unexploded ordnance at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, a Marine official said. The deaths occurred during a periodic sweep of explosive material to make ranges safe for future exercises, said a Marine official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The identities of the dead were withheld pending notification of relatives. Base officials released no details on the 11 a.m. accident. Authorities were investigating the cause. “We offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the families of the Marines lost today in this tragic accident,” said Brig. Gen. John W. Bullard, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations West at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. “Our first priority is to provide the families with the support they need during this difficult time.”

Three students shot at Pittsburgh school PITTSBURGH (AP) — Three Pittsburgh high school students heading to their vehicle after classes ended were shot Wednesday afternoon, and police sought as many as three people and were investigating whether the shooting was drug-related, school and police officials said. All three teenagers were shot outside Brashear High School as they walked to a vehicle they’d all taken to school earlier in the day, school district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said. Nearby residents said they heard seven or eight shots. The victims’ wounds appeared to be non-life-threatening, both Pugh and police spokeswoman Diane Richard said, though their descriptions of the wounds differed slightly. Pugh said two students were grazed in the head and one was shot in both the foot and arm. Richard said one was grazed in the neck and shoulder, but not the head. Two are 17 and one is 16.

(AP) — Katy Perry is on a four-week journey that snakes around the world, including stops in Amsterdam, Australia and Japan. She’s got Germany to go before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Miami. And then it’s across the continent to Los Angeles. Perry “I am probably not going to be able to tell you what day of the week it is or what time it is because I will have lived in so many different time zones,” Perry said. She’s got one date memorized: Nov. 24. That’s when the 29-year-old pop star will open the American Music Awards with her new single, “Unconditionally.” Her performance will be announced Wednesday, along with appearances by Jennifer Lopez in tribute to Celia Cruz and TLC, and the pop star said in a phone interview she plans to step it up in what she believes is her first chance to open an awards show. “You take that into consideration, that you are kind of like setting the tone for everyone in the evening, so you always bring out the big guns in the beginning,” Perry said.

Child killer asked to donate organs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s governor delayed a condemned child killer’s execution on Wednesday to study the feasibility of accommodating the man’s request to donate his organs. Gov. John Kasich’s decision came less than 24 hours before Ronald Phillips was scheduled to die for the rape and death of his girlfriend’s 3-yearold daughter in Akron in 1993. His lethal injection Thursday was to be the first time a new two-drug combination was tried in the AP U.S. Mayor Rob Ford talks during a City drugs in the past two years, but said he In stopping the execution, Council debate in Toronto Wednesday. will not step down.

Samsung, Apple far apart on award due in patent case SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — How much does Samsung Electronics owe Apple for copying vital features of the iPhone and iPad, such as scrolling and the “bounce-back” function at the end of documents? Apple says $380 million. Samsung counters with $52 million. The companies made their demands Wednesday during opening statements of a patent trial in San Jose, Calif. At issue are 13 older products a previous jury found infringed several Apple patents. That previous jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion after determining 26 Samsung products had infringed six Apple patents. But a judge found the jury miscalculated $400 million in damages for 13 products and ordered a new trial to determine the proper amount. “Apple lost sales because Samsung was selling infringing products,” Apple attorney Harold McIhenny told the jury. He argued that Apple’s lost profits, Samsung’s profits on the offending devices and royalties owed Apple, add up to $380 million. “In a fair fight, in a fair competition, the money they got would have and should have gone to Apple,” McIlhenny said. Samsung’s attorney Bill Price countered that consumers preferred Samsung’s devices, which operate with Google’s Android system, because of the many differences —

rather than the similarities — they have with Apple’s products. Price told the jury that Samsung owes Apple $52 million. “Apple is simply asking for much more money than it’s entitled to,” Price said. Price readily conceded that Samsung was guilty of copying Apple’s features, but downplayed the significance of the technology in devices that are built with hundreds of patents each. “This is a case not where we’re disputing that the 13 phones contain some elements of Apple’s property,” Price said. “That doesn’t mean Apple gets to come in here and ask for a windfall … for more than it is entitled.” The two companies are locked in legal battles around the globe for supremacy in the more than $300 billion smartphone market. The current trial is a dispute over older products, most of which are no longer sold new in the United States. Another trial is scheduled in San Jose in March over Samsung’s devices currently on U.S. shelves. Apple and Samsung are the world’s two biggest smartphone makers and combined make nearly half of all smartphones sold globally. The two companies have resisted calls from judges, regulators and analysts to settle their differences, instead choosing to spend many millions of dollars on lawyers and legal fees to battle it out in court.

equipped to accommodate pre- or post-execution organ donations. Kasich said if Phillips is found to be a viable donor to his mother, who has kidney disease and is on dialysis, or to others awaiting live transplants of non-vital organs, the stay would allow time for those procedures to be performed and for Phillips to be returned to death row. It appears that Phillips’ offer to donate his heart to his sister, who suffers a heart ailment, however, would not be possible under the governor’s directive since the heart is a vital organ. Pongonis said a heart cannot be donated after death. The person must still be alive when the organ is donated. “It just wouldn’t be possible,” she said. “Organ donation occurs following brain death and the organs are maintained on a ventilator. When a prisoner is executed, the oxygen stops flowing, the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing.” Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, said Delaware death row inmate Steven Shelton was granted a request in 1995 to donate a kidney to his mother while in prison, though he was not facing imminent execution like Phillips. “This step by the governor puts it into a more normal discussion of an inmate, without any security problems, can help save another person and is that the right thing to do,” he said. “With 24 hours to go before an operation had to be carried out, it definitely gets in the way of that process.” Vital organ donations raise larger ethical issues and have so far not been allowed during U.S. executions, Deiter said. They have occurred in China, he said.

Bullied woman gets apologies at reunion DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding “Lost for Words” (July 7), who skipped her 10-year high school reunion because she was bullied in school. (She is now receiving Facebook messages from former classmates who want to apologize.) That letter could have been about me! I was bullied all through school, too. Things were so bad I honestly don’t know how I kept it together. I never even told my parents how bad it was until years after I had graduated. My class (1972) had their 10-year reunion and I went, although I almost didn’t because I was scared. When I got there, I was given hugs by classmates. Some of them apologized, and it was wonderful. I enjoyed myself so much that I helped organize our 20th and 25th reunions. “Lost,” you can either keep reliving those painful moments and continue to

Exercise can relieve arthritis knee pain The cartilage at the ends of two bones in a joint serves as a cushion. Bone on bone is painful; cartilage on cartilage causes no pain. Many joints are protected by the muscles that surround them, as muscles reduce the pressure on ASK the joint. DOCTOR K.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have knee osteoarthritis. Are there exercises that could relieve my pain? DEAR READER: As a fellow sufferer, I know that joint pain from osteoarthritis can really interfere with life. Since putting pressure on the joint can make it hurt more, you might think that exercises would only make the pain worse, and so you might be tempted to avoid exercising altogether. But limiting your movements can weaken muscles, worsening your joint trouble. In contrast, the right set of exercises can be a long-lasting way to tame your knee pain. Like all joints, the knee is where two bones meet. Bones are stiff and hard, and the end of one bone would grind against the end of the other bone in a joint if it were not for cartilage. Cartilage is a tough but softer substance that covers the ends of bones.

Grasp your right leg with both hands behind the thigh. Extend your leg to lift your right foot toward the ceiling. Hold. Return to starting position. Repeat with left leg.

Poppy planting time for Afghans Arizona utilities, solar power users in bitter struggle

CHAM KALAI, Afghanistan (AP) — The seeds flew from his hands into the soil. Wrapped in a woolen shawl against the cold, Khan Bacha sowed his fields with the only crop he says brings him enough money to pay his bills and feed his family: Poppies. Afghanistan’s farmers are rushing to replant their fields with the base ingredient of opium after the country reaped its biggest poppy harvest ever last May. That harvest produced a staggering 5,500 metric tons (6,000 tons) of opium, 49 percent higher than the previous year and more than the combined output of the rest of the world, according to a report issued Wednesday by the United Nations’ drug control agency. Bacha’s village, Cham Kalai, is in the eastern province of Nangarhar, which saw a dramatic five-fold increase in the area planted with poppies from 2012-2013, the country’s biggest increase. The province also illustrates all the factors fueling the increase and thwarting efforts by Afghan officials and their U.S. allies to eradicate the crop. Poverty is widespread, making the lucrative poppy crop a draw. Instability is high, making any attempt to control planting impossible. In Bacha’s village of traditional sun-baked mud houses, there’s no electricity, no running water. There isn’t a health clinic for miles. Schools for girls are shunned as against Islam. “People are poor, families are big. Wheat is no good,” Bacha said. “The only thing that is good is poppies. They are gold.” The area is also a stronghold for Taliban insurgents. Talk of security in the area

just makes Bacha smile. Squatting on the edge of his small plot of land, he gestures off in the distance where he said that just the night before the Taliban fought a fierce battle with Afghan troops backed by “foreign soldiers” — his reference to NATO troops. Soon after the Associated Press arrived in Cham Kalai earlier this week, climbing down to the fields across a narrow stream, the whispering among the village children began — “Taliban, Taliban,” signaling that fighters were nearby. At first, Bacha looked worried but did not flinch. Then the whispers became louder. Bacha’s glances toward the nearby ridges seemed to pick up something, and his worry turned to panic. “Go. Go. Now,” he said. The AP team left the area. The poppy planting season in Afghanistan began last month and lasts until the end of November. Last season, which ended with the May harvest, brought a number of grim milestones: Not only was production the highest level ever, more land than ever before was cultivated with poppies — some 209,000 hectares (516,000 acres), 36 percent more than the previous season, according to the 2013 drug survey by the U.N. Office of Drug and Crime. The amount of poppy crop eradicated by authorities went down 24 percent, to 7,348 hectares (18,000 acres). That is bad news for Afghanistan, which has a burgeoning addiction problem, and for Europe, the main recipient of Afghanistan’s harvest, said Jean- Luc Lemahieu, the UNODC’s regional representative in Kabul. More than 1 million Afghans are addicts, living

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is in the midst of what seems like an intense election-year campaign: millions of dollars in spending, a barrage of negative TV ads and large amounts of outside money. The issue, however, has nothing to do with taxes, a hot-button policy or anything on the ballot. It is about the future of rooftop solar power in a state known for its abundant sunshine and at a time when the industry is booming. The state’s largest utility, Arizona Public Service, has spent more than $3.7 million to convince the public that AP homeowners using solar panels are costing other Afghan drug addicts look down from an upper floor in a drug treatment facility in Kabul on Wednesday. A UN customers money, and it wants utility regulators to report on drugs in Afghanistan says there are now 90 OK a proposal it says would facilities in the country, up from 30 in 2012. make the system more fair.

As a sleep on the street, in a result, they were effectively own ads, arguing that the garbage-filled dried river utility’s proposal would saying, “Love us.

He also said spent billions of dollars over to the dark side,” said consumer nations have of development money on Glendale resident Sophia roads and irrigation projects to take some responsiRoss, a homeowner with a bility rather “than always without getting Afghans to rooftop solar system. blaming Afghanistan.” stop growing poppies. The outcome by the

five-member commission with final say over APS rates is being watched by utilities nationwide and could affect the solar industry’s future. That’s because utilities are pushing the same arguments elsewhere, and a victory in Arizona could create momentum for their policies. Arizona Public Service says homeowners with solar panels are benefiting from the grid’s 24-7 power supply but avoiding much of the costs of maintaining power plants, transmission lines and the distribution system. Under the current system, homeowners are able to cut their bills by selling excess power at full retail price back to APS in a practice called “net metering.” Combined with using the power from the panels themselves, net metering can cut their bills by about two-thirds. APS says that effectively shifts the costs of operating the huge power distribution grid to homes without solar. It is proposing changes that would effectively cut that benefit by either charging more for power that homeowners with solar use or cutting what it pays for the excess solar power sent back to the grid. Existing solar installations would be exempt from the changes for 20 years. The solar industry says APS is worried it will lose revenue if solar continues to grow, and the company’s proposal would decimate the industry by making it a losing proposition to install new solar panels.

None hurt in explosion at Oregon prosecutor’s office MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — An explosive device that police say was designed to destroy an Oregon county prosecutor’s office instead blew out windows in a pre-dawn blast Wednesday that did little other damage. The FBI said it was too early to say whether the blast in Jackson County was terror-related, but Medford Police Chief Tim George said he considered the explosion a domestic terror attack aimed at law enforcement.

No one was hurt when the device fashioned in part from a 5-gallon propane tank exploded. Police say it failed to fully detonate. About 25 federal investigators from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Seattle and Portland were joining the effort to gather evidence about the explosive device, George said. “The most important thing in these cases, as we’ve seen over the years,

is the methodical collection of evidence,” George said. “I would bet the house on it, we are going to clear this case.” After the explosion, a silver-colored propane tank, similar to those used for camping, lay dented on its side in front of the broken windows at the prosecutor’s office. Two windows near the entrance were broken out of the one-story brick building across a quiet neighborhood street from the jail and

courthouse. Yellow crime scene tape surrounded the building and evidence markers dotted the parking lot. “The bomb squad on scene said had it detonated, there would have been devastation at the scene and the building would have been destroyed.” said Medford police spokesman Lt. Mike Budreau. “We believe there was something else attached to (the propane tank) that was intended to blow it up, but was not successful.” No one was inside the

building when the blast hit around 4:30 a.m. When investigators arrived, the tank was burning, and it continued to burn until the propane ran out, police said. Budreau said police were searching for a man who ran from an officer several blocks away, but it’s unclear if he had anything to do with the explosion. George said there were no suspects and no indications of the motive. While the district attorney’s office

regularly gets threats from people, none stand out as potentially related, he said. “I think it is domestic terrorism, absolutely,” due to the type of explosive device and the intent to do heavy damage to the district attorney’s office, George said. “We don’t know what the message was. We don’t know what the intent was.” Police withheld details of the explosive device, such as how it was detonated and what kind of explosive was used.
