Steuben ’14 budget less than ’13 County employees don’t get raises BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Steuben County Council member s wrapped up their budget writing duties somewhat early Friday morning after a marathon session started the work on Wednesday. The final tally for the general fund budget was $9.937 million for 2014. That compares to just under $9.996 million that was budgeted for this year.

The county’s financial consultant, Jeff Peters, Greenwood, urged the council to come in with a general fund budget of about $9.76 million in order to plan for anticipated declines in revenue due mainly to the state constitutionally imposed tax caps. “We came close. I’m proud that we actually made it under last year,” Auditor Pam Coleman said. Peters is predicting that the county could face a deficit in 2017

due to rising costs and declining revenue. County employees will not receive raises this year, but longevity pay increases were provided as scheduled. There were a few department heads whose salaries were increased to make their pay comparable to other department heads. The overall budget with special funds not derived directly from general fund property tax dollars came out to $22.618 million. The budget will be adopted on first reading at 8 a.m. Tuesday

ANGOLA — Angola Parks and Recreation will host the annual NFL Punt, Pass and Kick competition on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 10 a.m. The event will be held at the Angola Kids League field for boys and girls ages 6-15. No cleats may be used, but birth certificates are required for participation. Pre-registration may be taken online at nflppk.com or register on the day of the competition.

when the council meets. To start the budget process, department heads requested some $10.841 million in spending in the general fund. That compares to a 2013 budget of $9.996 million. Requests from department heads exceeded by about $1 million the revenue anticipated by Coleman. Budgets from other taxing units in the county will be folded into the county’s budget before the final taxing picture will come into view later this fall.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Beset by divisions at home and abroad, President Barack Obama candidly acknowledged deep challenges Friday in pursuing support for a military strike against Syria from international allies and the U.S. Congress. He refused to say whether he might act on his own, a step that could have major implications for the U.S. as well as for the remainder of his presidency. The White House laid out an intense week of lobbying, with Obama addressing the nation from the White House Tuesday night. “I did not put this before Congress just as a political ploy or as symbolism,” Obama said, adding that it would be a mistake to talk about any backup strategy before lawmakers vote on a use-offorce resolution. The president spoke to reporters at the end of a two-day international summit, where he sought backing for a strike against Syria in retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack against civilians. But Obama appeared to leave the summit with no more backing than he had when he arrived. In fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin, a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, said he was the one with support from the majority of countries attending the Group of 20 meeting. Putin insisted anew that Obama seek approval from the United Nations before taking military action, despite the fact that Russia has blocked previous Security Council efforts to punish Assad throughout Syria’s bloody 2½-year civil war. The White House tried to counter Putin’s assessment by releasing a joint statement from the U.S. and 10 other countries announcing support for “efforts SEE OBAMA, PAGE A6

Former Kendallville resident and Dr. John Shank Jr. rides his recumbent bike for hundreds of miles despite major disabilities as a result of a stroke.

FORT WAYNE — “He’s happiest when he’s on his bike.” If anyone knows where East Noble graduate John Shank’s happy place is, it’s his wife, Cristy. “Riding his bike is the only thing he can do now that he did before, and that makes him happy,” she said this week in a phone interview. About three years ago, there was doubt if Shank would be capable of doing anything. This is a story about finding a smile again, a purpose in life with the support of family and friends when sudden tragedy nearly ended that life. A little more than three years ago, the 47-year-old oral and maxillofacial surgeon had a successful practice in Fort Wayne, The avid cyclist and his wife have four children, and their life together was filled with keeping up with their kids’ school activities and recreational pursuits, tending to the horses at their Fort Wayne-area home and family vacations. Their oldest son, Ben, is a sophomore at Wabash College studying

economics. Their 18-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, is attending Baylor University in Texas on an equestrian scholarship. Son Dan is a freshman at Canterbury, and son Will is a fifth-grader at Canterbury. That all changed July 9, 2010, while the Shanks were attending a horse show at the Olympic Horse Park in Atlanta, Ga. “John said he wasn’t feeling right. He said he thought his electrolytes were off,” said Cristy. They were in their recreational vehicle when he suffered a massive stroke. He was taken to a hospital, where doctors determined Shank had a tear in an artery and the blood clot went to his brain, blocking the blood flow. He survived, but with severe disabilities. He no longer could speak, read, write or drive. The stroke reduced his vision in both eyes, and he barely can move his right hand and leg. He suffers from seizures. He has physical and speech therapy four times a week, tasks that are challenging but which Shank enjoys because it’s something he can do, said his wife. He walks without a cane, and can dress and feed himself. “John communicates with gestures,” SEE SHANK, PAGE A2

Cancer Center offering free PSAs ANGOLA — The Regional Cancer Care Center of Angola wants to help area men become informed about prostate cancer and therefore will be hosting a free prostate cancer screening on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 8 a.m. to noon at 516 E. Maumee St. This screening will

require a blood draw that will test the amount of prostate specific antigen in the blood. No fasting is required for the test. Men between the ages of 40 and 75 are encouraged to get the exam, a news release said. Men younger than 40 who have a family history of prostate cancer are also strongly encouraged to

participate. The screening is free, but appointments are necessary. Call 624-2120 to make an appointment.

About 1 man in 6 will be diagnosed

with prostate cancer during his lifetime. However, early detection allows certain types of cancer to be more easily cured. The Regional Cancer Care Center encourages men to not become a statistic and plan to be screened, the news release said. For more information, call 624-2120.

Regional Roundup • ‘Dancing’ gig cancels Nye’s lecture in Fort Wayne

Arrest made in Elkhart double homicide

FORT WAYNE — Bill Nye’s selection as a competitor on the new season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” tripped up plans for him to speak next week as part of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne’s Omnibus Lecture Series. In an announcement Thursday, the university said the short time frame between Nye’s scheduled Thursday lecture and the Sept. 16 premiere of “Dancing with the Stars” was the reason for the cancellation. Nye was the host of the “Bill Nye the Science Guy” syndicated television series. His Omnibus lecture was titled, “Hey, Earthings, Let’s Change the World.”

ELKHART — A suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that left two at an Elkhart convenience store dead Thursday, according to news reports. The Elkhart Truth reports Kevin Moore, 28, of Elkhart, was arrested on a preliminary charge of murder. Police had said Thursday they were looking for two or more suspects. Two employees at Saleh’s Market — Jagtar Bhatti, 55, and Pawan Singh, 20 — were pronounced dead at the scene. A part-time worker who had been in the kitchen at the convenience store discovered that the two men had been shot and called 911 for help.

Father of 10 killed ANDERSON (AP) — Relatives and friends of a central Indiana man killed in a head-on collision are struggling to console his grieving wife and care for the couple’s children.

The sister of Cardenas’ wife told The Herald Bulletin that friends and family are helping care for the couple’s eight children to get to school and feed them. She said Cardenas also has two other children from a previous marriage.

SHANK: Riding a bike has helped doctor regain his conﬁdence FROM PAGE A1

she said. “People don’t understand that with a severe brain injury like this, he may look good on the outside, but part of his brain is not functioning.” Shank grew up in Kendallville, the son of Dr. John and Peg Shank. His father had a dental practice in Kendallville for 33 years before retiring in 2000. Shank graduated from East Noble High School in 1985, then from Indiana University Dental School. Becoming a family dentist like his father was not Shank’s goal. He studied five more years to be an oral surgeon specializing in the treatment of diseases, injuries and defects in the mouth, face and jaw.

He built up a successful practice and became an avid cyclist. The stroke changed all that. About nine months ago John Bormann, a fellow doctor, cyclist and friend, visited the Shanks and saw John sitting on the couch watching TV. He knew he had to get his friend off the couch and active again. Bormann and several friends bought him a recumbent bicycle. On a recumbent, the rider sits in a reclining position with his weight distributed comfortably over a larger area. The rider pedals at the front. He didn’t like the bike. Shank’s family bought him a high-end recumbent with three rather than two wheels. Cristy encouraged her

husband to get busy living, to try the bike despite his disabilities and fear of seizures. That’s what he did. Shank started riding with Bormann and other cyclists. Adjustments were necessary. Friends designed a chain guard to protect his right leg from rubbing on the chain. His right hand was so weak, he couldn’t grip the handle bar, so his friends used Velcro to secure his hand. With each training session, his confidence grew. Shank joined cyclists for rides of 40 and more miles. His seizures decreased from once a week to one every couple of months, according to Cristy. His smile is back. He recently returned from a cycling trek across Iowa.

It’s a seven-day ride from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River with thousands of cyclists doing about 100 miles a day. Shank’s friends thought he would do one or two days and have to quit. He thought otherwise. Shank completed the entire ride. Cristy called it the most significant thing her husband has done since his stroke. His next goal is the Hilly Hundred, a 100-mile cycling trip in southern Indiana in October. Cristy is confident her husband will do it and return with a smile on his face. “He has always been a goal-oriented person,” she said. Shank has found his happy place.

And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”— so that they might accuse him. He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. — Matthew 12: 9 – 13; ESV

If you would look back at the various articles in this series, our main focus has been towards the healing aspects. Now, we will address the topic in miracles. It is important to understand that especially in this segment, healing does not only pertain to the physical; it also includes every aspect of our being. In reference to Jesus alone in the Scriptures, Jesus is recorded to have performed 35 individual miracles during his three-year ministry. Of those miracles, 21 were healings in the physical body (if you count all 10 of the lepers found in the Luke 17 passage, there were 30 people personally noted). There were six noted individuals who were healed

of demon possession (several of which also caused physical conditions to those whom they possessed). In this scripture, Jesus allows us to have a glimpse into what we mean to God. Even a man who is imperfect, broken, and an outcast, Jesus seeks out to bring healing. In this story, the religious leaders were seeking to accuse and destroy him. Jesus, however, sought to restore and bring healing. It’s amazing that God’s plan has our best intents while man’s plans our worst. Healing does not have to be just physical. In many cases, even if we ask for just the physical, we receive the other aspects as well. Those aspects include the emotional, the mental and the spiritual. Think about it for the moment: when you are feeling good physically; do you not also feel good about things? We are more positive about life, we respond to conflicts and chaos, we see the bright side, and we look for the good. Spiritually speaking, we seek to praise God more, God wants to bring total healing to us. We only see the immediate hurt and pain. God sees the deeper needs. And in many of Jesus’ miracles, he addresses the physical to get that out of the way to get to the heart of the matter: to transform our hearts and restore them to God. Each healing brought the person closer to God. This is the true miracle of healing. Jesus did many more healings; he is recorded to

The book of John records that there were many more wonders which Jesus has done that were not written down. The truth is that Jesus is still making miracles happen! He hasn’t stopped just because of his death. He still is creating miracles! I am a living testimony to the fact. You are also a living testimony! If you take an honest look at things, you’ll see that I’m right. Jesus continues to bring healing to every aspect in our lives; if we let him. I would love to continue on with this aspect, however, it would take many more articles to bring it justice. But this is where you come in: for you are the continuing stories of the miracles.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and music starts at 6 p.m. with Matt and Jason Gingerich.

he said. “Even those who are not into Christian music will be impressed by the amazing rock sound of Ashes Remain,” Young said. “This will be the third year for Ashes Remain to play at the PbnJ concert at Prairie Heights. In the past they have hung around after the concert and taken time to speak to all the fans, sign autographs and just hang out.” Tickets can be reserved by calling Young at 336-1932.

Boston kids get free school meals BOSTON (AP) — Some students toted lunchboxes to the first day of school in Boston this week, but district administrators are expecting that could become a more unusual sight as parents learn about a federal program that is now providing all public school students in the city with free breakfast and lunch. The nation’s oldest school system has joined a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that has spread to 10 states and the District of Columbia that offers students two free meals every school day, whether or not their families can afford them. “It’s one less weight and one less burden for parents,” said Joshua Rivera, whose son is a second-grader at the Maurice J. Tobin School in Boston’s Roxbury section. Known as Community Eligibility Option, the program is part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. For schools to qualify, federal officials said, more than 40 percent of students have to be

getting food stamps or aid through certain other federal assistance programs. Besides easing hunger, school officials said, the program eliminates the expense and time of handling paperwork for students who qualify for reduced or free meals and also helps erase a stigma that plagued some students from poor families. With the program’s adoption in Boston, education officials said, the city joins schools in cities including Grand Rapids, Mich., Atlanta and Washington, D.C., in a program that will be available across the country starting in the 2014-2015 school year. Efrain Toledano, principal of the Tobin School in Boston, said he expects the program will cut down on potential disruptions at the K-8 school by easing hunger pangs that could be linked to classroom misbehavior. “We know that calm stomachs means calm students who are ready to learn in classrooms,” he said

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is aware of no credible or specific information that points to any terror plot tied to the anniversary of the September 2001 attacks, according to a new confidential threat assessment from the FBI and Homeland Security Department obtained by The Associated Press. The new assessment, dated Thursday, said that intelligence agencies remain concerned that al-Qaida and its affiliates are committed to carrying out attacks on Western targets. But it said there was no information pointing to any known plot. The bulletin made no mention of Syria, even as President Barack Obama sought congressional approval to use military force against the Syrian government. Four Americans were killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on last year’s anniversary. Three others were killed and more than 260 others were injured when two men set off bombs near the finish line of the popular Boston Marathon in April. There was no specific or credible intelligence about those attacks, either. The terror threat to the U.S. is different than it was 12 years ago. In 2001, there was credible intelligence about a terror plot, but that information wasn’t shared with the right people. Today, the threat is more diffuse. Cyberattacks threaten to disrupt major U.S. operations in the government and the private sector. Lone actors represent another threat — one or two people who are not directly affiliated with al-Qaida but who subscribe to the terror group’s ideology and want to strike out because they disagree with U.S. policies. Today, officials are concerned about retaliatory strikes if Obama moves

forward with plans to use military force against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime, which the administration condemns for the death of 1,429 in a chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 near Damascus. Assad’s government blames the episode on rebels who have been seeking to overthrow his government. Iraqi officials and militant groups have said that Iranianbacked Shiite militias are threatening to retaliate against American interests inside Iraq if the U.S. goes ahead with strikes, as Tehran is a close ally of Assad. The FBI has been reviewing old case files involving Hezbollah and Iran’s Quds Force, reaching out to its sources to see whether they know anything new, a law enforcement official said. The official offered few details about the outreach and spoke on condition of anonymity because the official did not want to publicize the bureau’s investigative strategies. In its intelligence bulletin, the FBI and Homeland Security Department reminded law enforcement of activity that could indicate a planning for an attack, such as surveillance and questions about security operations. They also provided tips to avoid Internet denial of service attacks, such as a warning Aug. 27 from a Tunisian hacker group. The group, called “Tunisian—Hackers II” threatened a 10-day denial of service attack against U.S. banks starting Sept. 1. By Sept. 5, law enforcement had seen no evidence that the hacker group carried through with the plan, the bulletin said. Lee Hamilton, the former Democratic congressman from Indiana who co-chaired the 9/11 Commission report, said Americans should be reassured to know that there is no credible or specific information about a terror attack.

he Denver Post warns, “Milk, food prices could rise if Congress fails to act.” Congress is working on a farm bill, which, among other things, will set limits on how high or low milk prices can be in different regions of the country. Politicians from both parties like to meddle in agriculture. When the Heritage Foundation told Republicans not to pass any farm bill, “conservative” politicians banned Heritage from their weekly meetings. But why should politicians be involved in agriculture? Why should they set food prices, any more than they set the price of books or staplers? The market decides most prices, so we don’t have to wait with bated breath for politicians to make up their minds. In a normal market, sellers charge the highest price their customers will pay — and then lower the price when they lose customers to sellers who charge less. Competition keeps prices low, not generosity or warm-heartedness. Or government. The price of milk, on the other hand, is decided by regulators, using complicated formulas. They set one price for wholesale milk used to produce “fluid” products and another for milk used in making cheese. It’s a ridiculous game of catch-up, in which the regulated prices never change as fast and ciently as they would JOHN effi in a market, one buyer and at a time. STOSSEL seller Next week, California will hold public hearings about milk price negotiations, as if more arguing will reveal the “correct” price. The agricultural news site Agri-View reports that dairy farmers filed a petition with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, demanding it implement an earlier, massive milk-price compact agreed to by cheesemakers and legislators. Under the agreement, cheese processors must kick in an additional $110 million to a statewide pool of money used to pay dairy farmers, who are upset that they’ve been paid less than what farmers get in surrounding states. Rob Vandenheuvel of the state’s Milk Producers Council says, “Government has the responsibility to keep us in line with what the rest of the country is making, and they’re not doing it. It gives us no choice but to spend money on lawyers.” Great. How many lawyers does it take to produce a gallon of milk? The dairy farmers say some dairy farms lose money, which proves milk prices are too low. But cheesemakers say they can barely stay in business, proving milk prices are too high. Why is any of this the legislature’s business? It shouldn’t be. Prices should be decided by buyers and sellers. Prices are not just money. They’re information. Rising prices tell farmers to produce more; that increases supply and prices go back down. Falling prices tell producers to invest in other products. This system works well for plums, peaches, cars and most everything we buy. But bureaucrats and lobbyists say milk is “special.” Vandenheuvel says cows can’t be subject to market demand because “there are several years of lead time between when you decide to buy a cow and when that cow produces milk.” The CDFA agrees because: “Milk is a perishable product and must be harvested daily,” and “Milk continues to be viewed as a necessary food item, particularly for children.”

Education largest user of Hoosier resources BY STATE REP. BEN SMALTZ

Every day over a million K-12 students wake up and head to one of our Hoosier schools. Across the state in private, public and home schools, children spend years mastering mathematics, reading, English, history, science, literature and technology, before moving on to more specialized training in their chosen fields. Thousands of men and women, our teachers, meet them to share the knowledge they have spent their lives learning. These children and young adults are the future leaders of our state and country. Our future and the future of our civilization depend on them, and I place great value in our educational system to prepare them for the challenges that await them. This year, the General Assembly placed a great emphasis on education, and I was privileged to be an active participant in the work that was accomplished. This past session, numerous bills related to education in one way or another. I co-authored House Enrolled Act 1002, which developed the Indiana Career Council. Made up of many leaders in education and state government from across the state, the ICC comes together to discuss how the state’s education, job skills development and career training system work together, monitor the effectiveness of legislation enacted in the past and suggest ways for further improve-

ment. I supported bills that promote school safety like Senate Enrolled Act 1 helping schools hire fulltime school resource officers and develop safety plans. We also worked hard on legislation to aid veterans in their school tuition and assist them in the transition from combat duty to college admission. We had the opportunity to pass legislation designed to identify students in need of remediation before they graduate BEN and help them discover any SMALTZ inadequacies that must be addressed in order to achieve success in their careers. We placed a pause on the replacement of our Indiana Standards with Common Core to give the General Assembly, State Board of Education and Office of Management and Budget time to hear public input and identify the impact of adopting new standards. This piece of legislation also required the SBOE to adopt new methods for determining how schools earn their grades so that grades are based on growth and proficiency rather than peer-based growth. This will create the integrity that the A-F system must have. Education is, by far, the largest user of

•

our state’s resources. When you consider K-12 and post-secondary, it accounts for 63 percent of our total biannual budget. As such a significant part of our state operations, it demands our continued vigilance and efforts to constantly make improvements for our students and teachers. Of all the faithful teachers who have served the Hoosier state over the years, state Rep. Phyllis Pond, R-New Haven, is on the forefront of my mind. Rep. Pond, a former kindergarten teacher who tirelessly served her students and community, has decided to resign from her position as a state representative due to her recent diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. Rep. Pond started her career in a time when politics was male dominated and has gone on to have a long tenure of success. The House of Representatives will miss her greatly, as she has been a phenomenal example of servant leadership. She truly perfected the balance between serving her district and her state as a whole, and the General Assembly will not be the same without her. As always, please feel free to contact me at h52@iga.in.gov with any comments, concerns or your ideas on how we can build a better, stronger Indiana. REP. BEN SMALTZ, R-AUBURN, represents all of DeKalb County and portions of Steuben and Allen counties.

A traveling poet comes waltzing in It was going to be a quiet evening except for a late supper at Karen’s. How lovely, I thought, having the early dusk hours to myself. What to do? With my cast off (thank you Dr. Miller!) I could play the guitar or ride my bike. However, Rhon was putting new strings on my guitar and my new bike had a flat tire. I picked up the paper to see what was going on in town and there it was … a poetry reading at the Angola Carnegie Library. I almost missed it! I grabbed a few dollars from the coffer and walked down to the library. The event was to begin at 6:30, and I was fearful I would be late. I know it is not a good idea to walk in late on a poet! No one was there for the reading. I peeked into the meeting room and saw him sitting huddled over a book waiting for the crowd of folks. Within a moment Sandra joined me and we went in, just the two of us, for our poetry reading. The poet, Michael Czarnecki, took the seat in front of us and we all introduced ourselves. On his lap he had a stack of his books. Each book was bound by thick dark string. Michael closed his eyes and began to recite a poem. His voice was husky yet gentle, like a mountain stream flowing in summer. I was immediately hooked. Each poem came with a story. Doesn’t everything come with a story? His long steel gray hair covered his head along with a full beard. He reminded me a bit of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Our new online poll at kpcnews.com asks: Evidence suggests Syria’s government used banned chemical weapons to kill more than 1,000 of Syria’s people. How should the U.S. respond? The choices are: U.S. missiles should be fired from U.S. Navy ships at Syrian

Michael continued to share his work with Sandra and me for half an hour. We asked lots of questions and he told us about himself. He has been a full-time poet for more than 20 years. He lives with his wife in upstate New York on 50 acres on a homestead. A few years ago Michael traveled across America on Route 20 and printed his LOU ANN journal from that trip full of stories and poetry. (I knew HOMANI would buy that one!) He is now traveling across SAYLOR America sharing his poetry in all of the lower 48 states. Angola was his only stop in Indiana. I was curious as to what would have happened had we not shown up for the reading. He said, “I would just drive to Lake Michigan and recite poetry to the lake.” I thought that was a wonderful idea. I had to ask about his money, I had to. He does not own a credit card, but relies on the kindness of folks to buy his books and barter for food and places to stay. I pulled out my money and bought one of each book. “Did you have supper yet?” I asked. He did not, so I invited him to Karen’s for the late supper. I knew she wouldn’t mind. She knows me. I mean some folks bring home cats and dogs, but I bring

home stray hungry artists. He followed me the few blocks. Luckily I arrived before he did and I asked Karen to add another plate. Virginia was there along with the boys and they immediately added another place setting, asking me who was coming to dinner. “A poet,” I said smiling. Just then Michael walked in carrying poetry books for the boys, his barter for supper. Dinner was pork roast and fresh vegetables. I brought a peach cobbler and we opened a couple bottles of wine. He recited poetry for us at the table. We told in tandem a few Robert Frost poems. It was as if we had rehearsed the piece. The boys were fascinated by this nomad who was telling us about his life and his work. He asked the boys what they liked to do. Matthew immediately said, “Football!” He turned to Jonah. With his gaze looking out into space Jonah said without missing a beat, “I like to meditate.” This certainly raised all of our curiosity as we just waited for what he would say next. “I meditate in the yard at dusk and sometimes into the dark.” Michael asked him what he thought about during those times. “Oh, I just think,” he said. Late night hours prevailed. Michael autographed the books for the boys and we all said farewell. He kissed me on the cheek before he left. Don’t tell me real hippies don’t exist. I just met one.

The countries signing the statement with the U.S. were Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Putin said the U.S. push for military action has been

supported only by Turkey, Canada, Saudi Arabia and France. “The use of force against a sovereign nation is only possible as self-defense — and Syria hasn’t attacked the United States — and on approval of the U.N. Security Council,” Putin said. “Those who do otherwise place themselves outside the law.” Indeed, Obama’s coalition appeared anything but strong. Britain’s Parliament has already voted against military action. Even French President Francois

Hollande, who has expressed willingness to form a military coalition with the U.S. against Syria, displayed sudden caution, saying he would wait until a United Nations investigation into the Aug. 21 sarin gas attack was released before deciding whether to intervene militarily. The U.N. report is not expected to be released until mid-to late-September. Obama and Hollande discussed strategy during a meeting on the sidelines of the summit Friday. The U.S. president also held a surprise meeting with Putin.

because the computer was used in activities such as downloading copyrighted material or looking at and distributing pornography. The scam goes on to say the computer’s owner will be arrested and charged with a crime within 48 hours unless he or she pays a fine — usually between $100 and $300 dollars. Like all scams, the page also contains a method of sending money to an unknown location using a prepaid credit card or money order. The page promises once the fine is paid, control of the computer will be restored. That is not true, either. Martin warns that when any online website requires someone pay with a money order or prepaid card, that alone should be a red flag. “Those people can collect that money anywhere in the world, and if it’s overseas, those people are impossible to trace,” he warns. Sadly, the Internet is filled stories of people scammed by the virus, who paid the fine only to discover the computer remains locked. The damage the virus causes to computers is real, and it’s taking its toll on computers in northeast Indiana. “We get at least one phone call every day about this,” said Matt Reid, co-owner and computer guru of Kendallville Computers. He estimates eight to 10 computers a week are brought into his shop to have the Moneypak virus removed. Even the best antivirus software on the market is no guarantee the virus will not slip into a

machine and take over. The virus is hard to prevent and tricky to remove. Sometimes using a technique known as payloading, the virus can slip into a computer virtually undetected. Once loaded onto a machine, the virus may sit quietly waiting to spring. And once the virus unleashes itself, it may take professional help to remove, at an average cost of $50 to $150. Local experts say no antivirus program seems to work, and the only protection seems to be Malwarebytes, a free program that must be run almost daily. But experts say nothing is 100 percent effective against Moneypak — the key is to only go to trusted websites, and even those can be dangerous. To make matters worse, the virus appears to be constantly evolving. The moment it appears software engineers and technicians have figured out a way to block the virus from infecting machines, its makers alter the virus’ programming to bypass the newest security steps and continue to wreak havoc on computers. Steve Liechty of LaGrange found his computer infected last summer. Liechty was able to access the Internet and use an online help program to remove the virus from his computer, but that doorway appears to be closed by newer versions of the Moneypak virus. Programs designed to keep computers safe from the virus aren’t always effective against Moneypak because it avoids detection

by making it the first thing the computer loads, then blocks the antivirus software. The virus can find its way into a machine in a number of different ways, such as attaching itself to a legitimate email or video. It’s also believed the virus sometimes simply can find and load itself onto a computer hooked to the Internet. Reid said it keeps his staff at the computer shop jumping. He said just about the time his shop gets a good handle on what they need to do to contain and remove the virus from computers, a new variant of the virus appears, and they have to figure out what has changed. He added that it can sometimes take as much as a week for major software security firms to produce a new tool that he and other computer technicians need to completely remove the virus. One problem with the virus is it digs deeply into the infected computer, making it difficult for the average home computer user to remove. It can affect a machine’s registry, and creates difficulty in finding rootkits — software that can compromise the operating system and hide malicious processes from detection — on a computer’s hard drive. Sometimes, the only cure is for a technician to examine a machine’s programming and manually remove the infected files. Sometimes, Reid admitted, the infection is so deeply embedded into a machine and so cleverly hidden, the computer’s hard drive has to be erased to remove the virus.

ANGOLA — The Angola Hornets capitalized on a couple of big plays and turned two Eastside turnovers into scores on the way to a 28-14 Northeast Corner Conference win Friday at Angola. Angola’s Austin Bauer had a big night, intercepting three passes and breaking loose for a 61-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter that proved to be the game-winner. He finished with 94 yards rushing on 11 attempts. In all, the Hornets (2-1 overall, 2-0 in the NECC) intercepted Eastside quarterback Conner Dove five times and recovered a Blazer fumble. Afterwards, as the Hornets huddled near the end zone, head coach Josh Schoeff danced a little

celebratory jig, raising cheers from his players. “I kidded with our guys last year about doing a dance called the cat-daddy when we won,” Schoeff said. “We’ve been through a lot of struggles together as a team, and I want those guys to understand we’re human beings just like they are. “They make mistakes, we make mistakes as coaches, but tonight, this was truly a group effort, and we had to celebrate a little bit.” The Hornets knew the Blazers were capable of scoring quickly. “Eastside’s a good team. They gave West Noble fits and were really on the cusp of winning the ballgame,” Schoeff said. “We were lucky enough tonight to capitalize on some of their miscues, and they capitalized on some of ours.” SEE HORNETS, PAGE B2

FREMONT — Fremont competed with Fairfield in the first half Friday. But the Falcons took flight off of a blocked punt late in the second quarter and a takeaway early in the third and ran away to an uplifting 42-7 Northeast Corner Conference football victory. Fairfield regrouped from a 32-14 home loss to Prairie Heights on Aug. 30 as the Falcons and the rest of the Fairfield community were trying to deal with the sudden loss of Fairfield student and former Falcon football player Matthew M. Simmons. Simmons was killed when he was struck by a train during the early morning hours of Aug. 30. “It was about bouncing back from the circumstances of last Friday night,” Fairfield coach Bob Miller said. “The kids were able to move forward from the tragedy JAMES FISHER they had to face. They did a great Fremont running back Nate Beatty runs for yardage during Friday’s job last week and this week.” Northeast Corner Conference defeat to Fairfield. Friday’s contest was all

Fairfield after it blocked a Nate Beatty punt near midfield in a 7-7 game late in the second quarter. The Falcons (2-1, 2-1 NECC) made a break and overcame a holding penalty on their ensuing possession to take the lead for good. After the Fairfield holding penalty, a long Kyle Mast pass hit a helmet and bounced high in the air. Falcon senior Forrest Glogouski hustled to catch the ball for a 27-yard reception to the Fremont 15-yard line. Two plays later, Cameron Kitson had an 11-yard touchdown with 1 minute, 34 seconds left before halftime. Sophomore Reid Kammerdeiner made the second of six extra-point kicks to put Fairfield up 14-7. “It was a big emotional boost,” Miller said of the blocked punt. “That was an effort play.” The Eagles (0-3, 0-3) got the ball to start the second half and fumbled on the second play of their drive.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto emerged from his deep slump when the Reds really needed him. Votto singled and hit a two-run homer on Friday night, leading Cincinnati to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that kept its momentum going in the NL Central race. The 2010 NL MVP has been having a tough time, watching his batting average fall to .300 after he led the league at .361 on May 24. The Reds got a run in the fourth when Votto ended his 0-for-13 slump with a single off Stephen Fife, Jay Bruce singled and Ryan Ludwick grounded into a double play. Votto hit a two-run homer — his 22nd — off J.P. Howell (2-1) in the fifth inning for a 3-2 lead. “This is one game,” Votto said. “You’re only as good as your last at-bat.” His last at-bat on Friday? The decisive homer. “Joey coming through was a big thing for us,” said Mike Leake, who went 7 2-3 innings. “When you’re in a slump, it’s tough — not that his was a big one. I’m glad for him.” Manager Dusty Baker asked Votto if he wanted a day off Friday to regroup. Votto decided to play and broke out. “It started with the base hit up the middle,” Baker said. “You guys know the stats. I knew he was 0-for-something. He came through at the right time. You can’t hold a good man down for long.” While the Reds were relieved, the Dodgers got another concern for their pitching staff. The NL West leaders lost Chris Capuano to a mild groin strain in the second inning, when he grimaced on a pitch to Zack Cozart.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2013

Raiders, Colts taking different paths in opener INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck went from No. 1 overall pick to playoff starter in one season. Oakland is still searching for that guy. It’s as striking a difference on paper as it is on the field. “I think he’s obviously set to be one of the top quarterbacks in this league,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. “I think this guy is just a really good player. He’s got a strong arm. He’s very intelligent. He knows where to go with the ball. He can throw the ball accurately. I’ve been real impressed.” Don’t get Allen wrong. He likes his own guys, too. But neither Terrelle Pryor nor Matt Flynn has been a full-time NFL starter or started a playoff game, and Allen isn’t about to reveal which one will start against the Colts.

Along with Oakland’s quarterback quandary, here are five things to watch Sunday. STAY IN LINE: One reason Pryor is the likely starter is that he’s more mobile — something the Raiders desperately need. Yes, Flynn has been battling a sore right elbow and did not look great during the preseason. But the bigger problem in Oakland has been the offensive line. Rookie Menelik Watson, a second-round pick, starts at left tackle. Left guard Lucas Nix made the team last season as an undrafted free agent and was inactive for 15 of 16 games. The lack of experience on the left side could be a major problem if the Colts use five-time Pro Bowler Robert Mathis over there. The opposing pass rush is likely to be a long-term problem this season, but Pryor at least

can keep defenses off-balance with read options and his ability to scramble. DIFFERENT DEFENSE: For years, the Colts were criticized for not being big enough, tough enough or aggressive enough on defense. Times are changing. Indy signed six veterans in free agency, and five are expected to start — defensive tackles Aubrayo Franklin and Ricky Jean Francois, linebacker Erik Walden, cornerback Greg Toler and safety LaRon Landry. When the starters played during the preseason, they looked fast and aggressive — two components coach Chuck Pagano knows he must have in the 3-4 defense he brought from Baltimore. But, as Pagano noted, the Colts kept their defense pretty basic in August. So Sunday will be the first time Colts fans will get to see the whole

defensive package. HE’S BACK: One Raiders highlight should be the return of Charles Woodson. The 2009 defensive player of the year entered the league with Oakland in 1998 then signed with Green Bay as a free agent after the 2005 season. Now, a much older Woodson has come back at a new position — safety. The chess match between Luck and Woodson, the No. 4 overall pick in a draft that also included Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf, should be interesting. While Luck tries to improve his completion percentage and interception totals, the crafty Woodson may just try to bait Luck into a mistake. If he does, Woodson could wind up tying one or two NFL records. He needs one interception return for a score to equal Rod Woodson’s record (12).

“It wasn’t a dominating effort on our behalf, but we just had a couple more plays at the right moment.” It was the Blazers who struck first, as P.J. Dean dove in from the one with 9:57 left in the first. Dean set up the score with a 42-yard burst to the Hornet 16. Kyle Franz’s extra point made it 7-0. The Hornets needed exactly one play to even the score, courtesy of Simon Gardner, who took a pitchout and ran untouched around the left end for a 60-yard score just 19 seconds later. Spencer Stites’ kick made it 7-7. The Blazers (1-2 overall, 0-2 in the NECC) turned the ball over on their next two possessions of the opening quarter, but Angola couldn’t make them pay. In the second, Eastside did cash in on Angola’s first turnover, however, as Kadis Renier recovered a fumble at the Hornet 24. On the next play, Eastside’s Tristan Sprunger out-jumped Angola’s Nick Spears to haul in Dove’s pass to the end zone. Franz’s kick made it 14-7 Blazers with 5:26 left in the half. The Hornets went three-and-out on their next possession, but gained new life when Bauer picked off a Dove pass and returned it to the Eastside 32 with 2:39 left. Five plays later, James Baryo scored from the two, and Stites’ kick evened the score with 33.5 seconds left in the half. Angola wasted little time with the opening possession of the third. On third-and-long, Bauer ran off-tackle for 61 yards to the end zone, and the extra point staked the Hornets to a 21-14 lead. The rest of the quarter was a swarm of turnovers — an interception by Bauer and a fumble recovery by Angola’s Dakota Steele and recoveries by Eastside’s Kraig Whitman and Jacob Thompson. Steele’s recovery proved to be pivotal, giving the Hornets the ball at the Blazer 11 in the final minute of the third. One play later, Baryo scored, and Stites’ kick made it 28-14 Hornets. Angola ran for 224 yards as a team. Both teams are on the road for NECC games Friday. Angola visits Lakeland and Eastside travels to Churubusco.

Fairield recovered at the Fremont 41 and scored eight plays later on a Kitson three-yard run. “That fumble to start the second half kind of teetered the momentum,” Eagles coach Nick Maksimchuk said. “It was all a mind game after that.” Kitson had four touchdowns runs from 11, 3, 6 and 70 yards out. Mast threw two touchdown passes, one to senior tight end Garrett Cole for seven yards early in the first quarter and another on a diving catch in the end zone by senior Caleb Armbruster covering eight yards early in the fourth. Beatty had 207 yards on 33 carries and caught four

passes for 22 yards for Fremont. He caught a pass from Kaleb Hayes and ran it in for a touchdown on a six-yard play with 3:31 left in the first quarter. Jake Pelham tacked on the extra point. “The thing I take away from this is that we played with a 3A school for a half. We know we can play better than what we did in the second half,” Maksimchuk said. “We just have to believe in each other and do our jobs. “We ask kids to be perfect 120 times a game. But kids are going to screw up. It’s the next play after a mistake that makes you a football player.” Brock Baker added 54 yards rushing on 10 carries for the Eagles. Fremont quarterback Kaleb Hayes pitches the ball during play on Friday. JAMES FISHER

FREMONT — Fremont High School was recently chosen as a Top 200 school by iHigh.com for the second year in a row. Chris Rutter, iHigh’s director of content and development, said where Fremont ranks specifically within that Top 200 will be figured out in the not-too-distant future. Fremont’s selection for that top 200 honor was determined by the amount and quality of content posted, site traffic and consistency of usage on iHigh.com. Fremont athletc director Roger Probst and the Eagle coaches regularly provide various athletic information to the school’s website, ihigh. com/fremonteagles. Coaches promptly write postgame summaries for the website. Parents have provided photos for the website from various sporting events. “It’s worked pretty well,” Probst said. “It’s a means to promote our school, our teams and our athletes and does not cost us anything. It’s a tool for us to connect with our fans.” Since joining the iHigh platform in Sept. 2010, Fremont has produced 724 news articles for its website and provided 10,824 photographs in just under 400 photo galleries, said Rutter. In the first six days of September, 220 visitors to Fremont’s iHigh site have made approximately 19,000 page views. According to Rutter, iHigh has 9,300 sites nationwide with one page administrator logged in attempting to post content. From those sites, 1,093 of them are broadcasting sporting events and performing arts live or on-demand.

College Football More honors for Webster, Keck SOUTHFIELDS, N.Y. — Trine University seniors Andrew Webster and Tyler Keck were named preseason All-Americans earlier this week by the Collegiate Development Football League. This is the third All-American honor they have both received in the preseason. Webster, an offensive left guard from Fort Wayne, was named to the South Offense First Team. He started in all 10 games for the Thunder last season and was on the field for 544 plays, made 96 knockdowns, and only allowed two sacks. Keck, a placekicker from Elkhart, was named an All-American honorable mention by the CDFL.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2013

Drought conditions on the horizon for NE Indiana WEST LAFAYETTE — Drought has crept back into part of Indiana, reflecting weeks of dry conditions following a wet winter and spring that eliminated the remnants of the devastating drought of 2012. The U.S. Drought Monitor on Thursday showed that four counties in northwest Indiana — Benton, Newton, Warren and Lake — are now in moderate drought. Until this week, nearly half of the state was abnormally dry — the

lowest level of dryness — a condition that continues in most of the central counties and some northern counties. “We were expecting moderate drought to be introduced into the state this week,” said Ken Scheeringa, associate climatologist with the Indiana State Climate office, based at Purdue University. “Rainfall has been scarce in most counties for a few weeks now. Drought conditions in Illinois were worsening and on the move eastward and

have now reached Indiana.” State Climatologist Dev Niyogi said the central portion of the state could move into moderate drought next week if that area does not get enough rain and continues to lose water. He said his office will continue to monitor the situation closely. No rain was in the forecast for the remainder of this week, but chances for rain next week were expected to be near normal, according to the climate

office. Near-normal temperatures also were forecast for that week, with above-normal temperatures the following week. Crops have been in dire need of meaningful rainfall for weeks. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that 80 percent of Indiana’s corn crop was in good to excellent condition in mid-July, but that has fallen to 66 percent for the week ending Aug. 31. For soybeans, 74 percent was rated good to excellent in

mid-July, compared with 62 percent now. As September approached, rain was needed within days to prevent the crops from deteriorating further. Some of that rain arrived over the Labor Day weekend, with portions of southern Indiana receiving 2 to more than 4 inches. The heaviest rains came Sept. 1, mostly in the extreme southwest and southeast. The central and northern parts of the state were not as fortunate, although some

areas received more than an inch of rain. Purdue Extension soybean specialist Shaun Casteel said the rain helped, but how much depends on the amount of rain plants received relative to their stage of development and the drought stress they were under. A half-inch might not have been enough for some stressed plants to avoid dropping their pods; more rain likely would have prevented that and helped them to fill out the seeds.

Brown stem rot showing up in Indiana Fall vegetable WEST LAFAYETTE — Soybean producers should look for sudden death syndrome, or SDS, and brown stem rot when scouting fields over the next few weeks in order to identify the fungal diseases and prevent future yield loss due to disease. Soybean fields across Indiana have started to show symptoms of SDS, and brown stem rot is another disease sometimes confused with SDS. Yield loss from the diseases can be minor or major, depending on how widespread they become — which is why identification is key. “There is no in-season management for these diseases, but it’s important to identify fields that have the diseases to prevent yield loss in future years,” said Kiersten Wise, Purdue Extension plant pathologist. “It can help to know which fields have the diseases so producers can select disease-resistant varieties for the next time the fields are planted to soybean.” Symptoms of SDS, caused by the fungus Fusarium virguliforme, aren’t typically noticed until August, even though the fungus infects plants early in the growing season during wet, cool weather. Many soybeans emerged from wet soils this spring, so Wise cautioned producers to look for SDS and brown stem rot. The diseases have similar foliar symptoms,

When scouting fields over the next few week, soybean producers should look for brown stem rot, shown above, as well as sudden death syndrome. It’s

which include yellowing or browning between the leaf veins. “You can tell the difference between SDS and brown stem rot by examining the internal tissue in the lower stem of the plant,” Wise said. “The first step is to pull up the plant and split the lower stem. With SDS you’ll see discoloration in the cortex of the stem and root. Whereas with brown stem rot you’ll see a discoloration in

the pith.” The pith of plants affected by SDS will remain white. In some instances, both diseases might be present in a plant, which can make diagnosis difficult. Identifying the diseases can help producers make good management decisions the next time a particular field goes into soybeans. “For instance, if you know a field has the disease, you can select a variety for

next year that will be less susceptible to either disease,” Wise said. “It is important to be sure if you have SDS or brown stem rot since varieties that have resistance to brown stem rot might not necessarily be resistant to SDS, and vice versa.” Each seed company has varieties rated for SDS and brown stem rot resistance, so producers should contact their local seed dealers when selecting resistant varieties.

Weather has been good for grape growers WEST LAFAYETTE — This summer’s mild temperatures and modest rainfall have been good for Indiana’s wine grapes, which could lead to more flavorful, aromatic wines, say members of the Purdue Wine Grape Team. Average temperatures in July and August were

slightly cooler than normal, conditions that allowed ripening grapes to accumulate sugar and maintain acid levels. An extraordinarily dry August also was beneficial, as heavy rainfall can cause ripened grapes to split, leading to pest damage and disease. “We’ve had really

moderate conditions, and that helps improve fruit quality,” said viticulture specialist Bruce Bordelon. “Cooler weather leads to higher sugar content and higher acidity, yielding a better balance overall. Our mid- and early-ripening varieties should do really well.” Bordelon said weather has a tremendous influence on veraison, the ripening process in which grapes transform from hard, opaque green berries into soft, translucent fruit.

The last four weeks have been almost non-stop canning at my home. Our garden certainly produced well this year, and I was a little intimidated by the amount of produce we were getting, especially since it was ELYSIA my first time canning RODGERS ever. But with some support from my motherin-law, I got the hang of it quickly and since then have put up probably close to 200 or more quarts of pickles, peaches, plums and tomatoes. I have also frozen corn, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage slaw, green beans and countless berries. Our freezers are full of not only fruits and vegetables, but also fresh homegrown beef, chicken, rabbit, pork and duck. I am truly looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labor this winter, but there is one last task that my husband and I need to undertake before we can let winter set in … the garden needs cleaned out. The University of Nebraska Lincoln has special broadcast segments called the Backyard Farmer, and they discussed this exact topic a couple of weeks ago. Before putting all your gardening tools away for the year, take an afternoon this fall and clean up the vegetable garden. Removing garden debris, including dead plant material and rotted vegetables, will help to reduce disease and insect problems next year. The time spent now cleaning up the garden will be well worth it next summer. Before beginning your garden cleanup, sit down and make notes of this year’s garden layout and what did or didn’t work. This will make planning a rotation schedule for next year’s garden easier. Also note

Temperature and rainfall during ripening can determine the character of future wines. “The most important time frame for fruit and wine quality is those last four weeks before harvest,” he said. “That’s when the berries go through the ripening process. The conditions during that time — especially the temperature — are what really affect wine quality, not just in terms of sugar-acid balance but flavor and aroma content as well.”

particular insect or disease problems encountered this year and which vegetable cultivars you tried. Next, tomato cages, stakes, trellises and other support materials should be pulled out of the garden, cleaned and placed in storage for winter. Remove from the garden any plants that have had insect or disease problems. Also collect any fall fruits or vegetables, including dried up “mummies.” Many insects overwinter in the garden in last season’s dead plant material. Similarly, diseased plant material remaining in the garden will serve as a source of fungal spores to re-infect next year’s vegetables. Don’t add these to the compost pile. Compost piles usually will not reach a high enough temperature to kill all pathogens, like fungal spores or bacteria. Instead discard or burn these plant residues. Crop residues from healthy plants, such as roots, leaves and stems, are a valuable source of organic matter, and will break down to improve the texture of garden soil. Plants that have not had pest problems can be cut up and put in the compost pile, or turned into the soil for added organic matter. Organic mulches, such as straw or grass clippings, can also be tilled into the soil. The leaves from your trees also are an excellent source of organic matter for the vegetable garden. After raking the leaves, scatter them over the vegetable garden and till them in. You can also use your mower to remove the leaves from your lawn and then add them to the vegetable garden. Since mowing chops the leaves into smaller pieces, they will break down faster once added to the soil of your vegetable garden. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.

Cover crops making a comeback Field day set for Tuesday at Triangle Farms near Howe LAGRANGE — The LaGrange County Soil and Water Conservation District, in cooperation with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, is holding a cover crop field day on Tuesday. The event will take place from 2-4 p.m. at Triangle Farms, east of Howe at S.R. 120 and a quarter-mile north on C.R. 475E. Cover crops are a recently rediscovered conservation practice. Seventy-five years ago, crop fields and gardens regularly were planted with rye, ryegrass, wheat or oats to cover the cultivated ground after the regular crop had been harvested. The practice generally fell into disuse in the 1970s and ’80s, when crop land was generally left fallow in the off season. Cover crops recently made a resurgence because of their benefits, which include improved weed control, nutrient scavenging that reduces the need for applied fertilizers, reduced soil compaction and reduced or eliminated topsoil loss through erosion. Many new species introduced as cover crops include tillage radishes, turnips, buckwheat and field peas. The program will open with a welcome by Triangle Farms owner Gary Myers. An NRCS representative will discuss general

cover crop practices and effects on soil health. Local crop farmer Scott Beecher of Crossroad Farms will give a brief testimony concerning the use of cover crops on seed corn ground. A Purdue Extension representative will discuss successful cover crop management. Finally, Mike Holcomb, field technician for Sustainable Natural Resources Technologies, will talk about ongoing conservation grant programs in LaGrange County. The NRCS District Conservationist of LaGrange County, Kevin Shide, will wrap up the session talking about both federal and local funding opportunities for farmers wanting to start using cover crops. The informal, drop-in program is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. and should take no more than an hour. Cover crop seed dealers will be on hand to give information concerning seed and species availability and exhibit equipment. Free refreshments are included. No registration is required. Parking is available at the site. Everyone is welcome, and people planning to attend can watch for signs the day of the program. For more information, contact the LaGrange County Soil and Water Conservation district at 463-3471, ext. 3.

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2013

Parents disdain marriage after failure of their own DEAR ABBY: I’m 24 and a college graduate. My boyfriend, “Jordan,” and I have been together for a year and we would like to get married. However, my parents are against the idea. They love Jordan, but they think marriage is stupid because, in 2013, “WHO is getting married?” I think this is totally ridiculous, but I don’t know what to do. I want to be married and I would love my parents’ approval, but it’s hard when they call me stupid for wanting to take that step just because their marriage didn’t work out. I love Jordan and I love my parents. Should I have to choose between the two? — TOTALLY TORN DEAR TOTALLY TORN: You do not have to choose between your parents and being married. At 24, you are an adult and mature enough to make your own decision about the importance of the institution.

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE BY LYNN JOHNSTON

GARFIELD BY JIM DAVIS

As to the question of “who is getting married” these days, one answer is people with college degrees are marrying at a greater rate than those with only a high school education — and their unions are more lasting. I’m sorry your parents’ marriage work DEAR didn’t out, but you ABBY would be foolish to let their cynical Jeanne Phillips opinion of this kind of commitment taint your perspective.

•

DEAR ABBY: What are your thoughts about co-workers dating? I have a crush on one of my co-workers, and I believe it is reciprocated. We’re unsure about an office romance

because, while it isn’t against the rules for people to date within the building, there are concerns about sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior on the premises. (Some of our co-workers have dated with no problems.) Would it be wrong to attempt to further the relationship, as long as it remains appropriate within the office, or should I forget it and date someone outside of work? — WORKING RELATIONSHIP DEAR WORKING RELATIONSHIP: This may seem old-fashioned, but I’m not crazy about the idea of office romances. While I know they are not uncommon and it’s hard to fight mutual attraction, office romances are distracting. When the pheromones are flying, it can be extremely difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand. And if it doesn’t work out, there can be tension, embarrassment and hard feelings in the aftermath, and that’s not good for business.

On this date: • In 1940, Nazi Germany began its eight-month blitz of Britain during World War II with an air attack on London. • In 1963, the National Professional Football Hall of Fame was dedicated in Canton, Ohio. • In 1964, the controversial “Daisy” commercial, an ad for President Lyndon B. Johnson’s election campaign featuring a girl plucking flower petals followed by a nuclear explosion, aired.

The longer the heart is allowed to stay in atrial fibrillation, the harder it is to restore a normal heart rhythm. Medicines often can restore a normal rhythm. When they don’t work, another treatment option is electrical cardioverASK sion. This DOCTOR K. treatment delivers a small Dr. Anthony electrical shock to chest. Komaroff the The shock can “reset” the heart to a normal rhythm. Unfortunately, many patients eventually redevelop atrial fibrillation. A number of different medicines can reduce

•

the risk that atrial fibrillation will recur. Beta-blocker or antiarrhythmic drugs are used for this purpose. However, none of them is perfect; sometimes the irregular heart rhythm returns anyway. And all of the medications can have side effects. Another relatively new approach to reducing the risk that atrial fibrillation will recur is called “radiofrequency catheter ablation.” This procedure uses radio waves to destroy tissue in the heart that is triggering abnormal electrical rhythms. Another surgical procedure intentionally creates scars in the heart tissue; this blocks abnormal electrical signals from spreading. These techniques can be quite effective, and they were not available when I graduated from medical school. But they don’t always work to keep atrial fibrillation from returning, and they can cause

Medication reduces recurrence of A-fib DEAR DOCTOR K: I went to my doctor after a few episodes of shortness of breath. It turned out to be atrial fibrillation. How is this condition treated? DEAR READER: Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that causes a rapid and irregular heartbeat. In this condition, electrical signals in the heart become uncoordinated. As a result, the chambers of the heart stop pumping in a coordinated and efficient way. Atrial fibrillation doesn’t always cause symptoms, but most people who develop it can tell: The symptoms include palpitations, fainting, dizziness, weakness, shortness of breath and chest pain. There are different treatments to restore a normal heart rhythm when you are having atrial fibrillation. When a patient of mine first develops it, I always try medication first. It’s important to move quickly:

side effects. So I don’t consider them unless medicines haven’t worked to keep atrial fibrillation from returning. If, despite treatment, your heart repeatedly slips back into atrial fibrillation, doctors may allow the heart to stay in atrial fibrillation. When this happens, doctors attempt to slow the heart rate to help the heart work more efficiently. When someone remains in atrial fibrillation, he or she generally needs to take blood-thinning drugs such as warfarin or aspirin to reduce the risk of blood clots. The uncoordinated beating of the heart causes blood to pool and form clots. These clots can travel through the blood and lodge in an artery, causing a stroke. Blood thinners greatly reduce that risk.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2013

Fear way of life for coal miners’ wives PRINCETON (AP) — It’s the wee hours of the morning, and she’s still up, waiting for him to get home from the mine. They haven’t been able to speak for half the day. Nervous because he’s running late, she phones a friend — a friend who is also a coal miner’s wife. Brittany Van Vliet, 29, Princeton, has been a coal miner’s wife for three years. “We started dating two days before he got the job,” she said. She wasn’t aware that he was serious about coal mining and “kind of blew it off. I just thought he was joking.” Her husband, Chris Van Vliet, 39, started out hanging curtains in the mine for Peabody Coal. Brittany said she didn’t like that at all. Now, he works in the mine with batteries the size of a pool table. One day a part came down on him and

as he moved out of the way, it cut part of his finger. “It was a pretty nasty wound,” she told the Princeton Daily Clarion. “He was lucky, it could’ve been his hand.” When Brittany got the first call, she didn’t answer. “I don’t usually answer for numbers I don’t know.” As another call came through, her intuition told her to answer. It was the scariest call she ever received. “I just thought, ‘Something’s wrong.’” The voice on the other end told her, “your husband’s in the hospital, he’s been hurt at the mine.” She panicked. “My first thought was that his hand was cut off,” she says, “I was bawling my eyes out.” Chris was out for about one month. The husbands act like injuries from coal mining are not a big deal, but the wives feel it is, she said. “I’m up all night long.

If I get a call, it’s bad, no matter what.” It’s better not to have any calls, although that can prove to be nerve wracking. Now, Brittany copes with worry by taking care of their 3-monthold boy and leaning on her friends, fellow coal miner’s wives. “We’ll say, ‘Hey, has Casey got home? Has Joe got home?’” The women soothe each other. “We all kind of take care of each other.” Some of their husbands are at different mines, but they all share the bond of being a coal miner’s wife. “We were all already friends,” she said. “We all ride motorcycles together.” Despite this, she continues to worry for her husband’s health. Miners destroy their bodies and face ultimately ill health for their families, she said. Her husband has to sleep with a breathing

machine, in part because of all the rock dust, she said, and he deals with anxiety. But miners need support from their families, especially theirs wives, she said. A coal miner’s wife needs support to stay strong for her husband. “It would be nice to have a 9 to 5 job and know what he’s doing,” she said. But if he had that job it wouldn’t support their family the same way coal mining does, she acknowledged. “He doesn’t do it for himself.” So she doesn’t ask him to change careers, she said. “I just let it be.” Beth Mincey, Wheatland, has been a coal miner’s wife for four years, and all three of her brothers-in-law are working for coal mines. They are a new generation of coal miners. Jamie Mincey, 39, has worked for Peabody for 15 years, although not straight through.

He began at the Francisco mine about three years ago. “I was pretty accepting of it since people have to be accepting of my job,” Beth said. She works three 24 hour shifts a week for the Princeton Fire Territory and is about to return to school to learn about training horses. He works 10 p.m. to 11 a.m. five to six days a week. With the little free time they have together, they go fishing and horseback riding. “We deal a lot with going out to the coal mines,” she said of her work with the fire department. “But if I’m at work I can hear the calls but I can’t call him to check on him,” she said. “I have to wait until the morning.” Her husband was saved by a fellow miner who yelled at him to move just as a piece of rock fell. “One

thing I learned is that when a rock hits them, that rock is like (the size of) a car to a normal person. As he moved away, the rock hit him in the arm, and he still has a scar on his shoulder from it to this day, she said. The danger is not the only worry of being a coal miner’s wife. The uncertainty of the mining business is right behind it. The longevity of the coal mine location and company itself is only calculated by what coal is available to retrieve, the quality of the coal, the price of the coal, and supply and demand. Last year when the Peabody Air Quality Mine in Vincennes closed, “Many coal miners lost their jobs through this process, but the lucky ones, such as my husband and brotherin-law, were offered the opportunity to transfer to other Peabody mines in the region that happened to have openings.”
