Hoosiers protest U.S. action in Syria INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — About 150 protesters clustered around the Indiana Statehouse to oppose possible U.S. military action in Syria. Many of the people in the crowd Saturday waved American and Syrian flags. The Indianapolis rally was organized by St. George Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church. President Barack Obama has called on Congress to approve the use of military force in the wake of a deadly chemical weapons attack his administration blames on the Syrian government. The Indianapolis Star reports some protesters question the evidence of an attack. Small rallies were also held in Time Square in New York City and outside the White House in Washington.
Stork detained as spy in Egypt found dead CAIRO (AP) — A stork once detained by Egyptian authorities on suspicion of being a winged spy has been found dead. Mahmoud Hassib, the head of Egypt’s southern protected areas, said Saturday that local residents found the dead bird on an island in the Nile, south of the ancient city of Aswan. In August, a local resident found the stork in Egypt’s Qena governorate, some 450 kilometers (280 miles) southeast of Cairo. Both he and police were suspicious of the European wildlife tracker found on it. Authorities later let the bird go. However, controversy trails the bird into death. An Egyptian wildlife organization claimed on its Facebook page the bird was “eaten by local villagers.” Hassib denied that the bird had been eaten, though he didn’t know an exact cause of death.
Area municipalities embracing social media to spread information, connect BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
Social media was once strictly for the younger generation as a means to communicate and share with their peers. How times have changed. Now, millions upon millions of users share everything from breaking world news to what’s for dinner. New users join by the thousands every day. And it’s not just for individuals anymore. As businesses have begun using social media as free advertising and a way to meet and greet customers, governments around the world — and locally — have turned to popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to share their news and happenings and interact with their residents in a way not possible years ago. Chris Schweitzer, as head of Auburn’s information systems department, runs the city’s Twitter and Facebook accounts, which have distinct, strong followings. Schweitzer said the city uses social media to communicate information and happenings to its residents, and it has become embedded in his staff’s daily work processes.

PARIS (AP) — The U.S. tried to rally support on Saturday for a military strike against Syria, running into resistance from the American ppublic and skeptics in Congress aand from European allies bent on aawaiting a U.N. report about a cchemical attack they acknowledge sstrongly points to the Assad government. m President Barack Obama pprepared for a national address Tuesday as a growing number T oof lawmakers, including fellow Democrats, opposed the use of D fforce. The American public didn’t yyet appear persuaded by Obama’s aargument that action is needed to ddeter the future use of chemical w weapons. Meanwhile, a U.S. official rreleased a DVD compilation of vvideos showing victims of the Aug. 221 attack near Damascus. U.S. Secretary of State John K Kerry, who met with more than two dozen European foreign ministers on Saturday, insisted that international backing to take strong action against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime was growing, not receding. Kerry noted that the ministers, who held an informal meeting of the European Union in Vilnius, Lithuania, made powerful statements condemning the attack, and that increasingly there was a sense of conviction that Assad was to blame. Kerry said the U.S. had agreed to provide additional information to those ministers who were not yet convinced that Assad orchestrated the attack. The EU endorsed a “clear and strong response” to a chemical weapons attack but didn’t indicate what type of response they were backing. It also said that evidence strongly points to the Syrian government. Still, the EU urged the U.S. to delay possible military action until U.N. inspectors report their findings. The Europeans were divided on whether military action would be effective. Britain’s Parliament has voted against military action. France had been ready to act last week but held off when Obama declared that he would seek the backing of Congress. The first Senate vote, expected Wednesday, was likely to be on a resolution authorizing the “limited and specified use” of U.S. armed forces against Syria for no more than 90 days and barring American ground troops from combat. A final vote in the 100-member chamber was expected at week’s end. A House vote is likely the week of Sept. 16.

Pair hurt in crash
Monday, Sept. 9
CLEAR LAKE — Two people were injured in a motorcycle crash Saturday at 12:59 p.m. at S.R. 120 and C.R. 925E. Thomas T. Brodack, 53, of Edgerton, Ohio, suffered mid- and upper-body internal injuries. Laura S. Kowalis, 39, also of Edgerton, suffered facial and upper-body internal injuries. Both were transported to Cameron Memorial Community Hospital. Brodack was driving a 1997 Honda motorcycle with Kowalis as his passenger on S.R. 120 and lost control. Helmets were not worn by either Brodack or Kowalis and alcohol is not a factor in the crash, police said. The Clear Lake Town Marshal’s Office, Steuben County Sheriff’s Department, Fremont Fire/Rescue and Steuben County Emergency Medical Service paramedics responded. A group of motorcyclists traveling with the pair provided patient care and traffic control until rescue personal arrived.

Fremont ponders future Residents discuss development, parks BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
E H W S ANA P I H S PLAYING NOW - DECEMBER 7
FREMONT — The future of Fremont could be centered around Rocket Park in hopes of boosting quality of life, drawing families and economic development to town. The Fremont Town Council attended an open house Saturday at the Fremont Public Library to look at Fremont’s comprehensive plan and the five-year parks and recreation master plan. Brad Johnson with Ground Rules, Zionsville, led a presentation on both documents, which serve as future planning tools for Fremont, which is 3.08 square miles of land within its corporate limits and a population of 2,100 people with approximately 800 households. Some of the highlights of each plan follows.
Comprehensive plan
the
C ONFESSION
a five-year parks and recreation plan is being written. Ground Rules, Zionsville, is writing both plans for Fremont. Both plans are used as future planning tools.
“The comprehensive plan is rooted in growing the community,� Johnson said. “You do have a lot of industrial land, but it’s going to be a big endeavor to fill them. I think it’s possible to get one quarter filled in the next five years.� It’s also possible, Johnson said, that some areas around Fremont may need to be annexed into the corporate limits in supplying sewer and water services. “Being a great place to live is just as important as having land available,� he
said. Some highlights of the comprehensive plan are: • The top three community needs, as identified by survey, were attracting more well-paying jobs, the cleaning and removing unsafe buildings and attracting new small businesses. • The top three community values identified were small town qualities, natural environment and a safe place for people to walk or ride a bike. • To enhance community character, it’s suggested the town continue to use its website for promotion, while developing and maintaining strong partnerships with leaders.
Parks, recreation master plan Johnson noted there’s at least three names for Fremont Town Park. He suggested using the most unique name, Rocket Park, and planning around it. “Our preference is Rocket Park,� he said. “Our idea is you continue to pick up on that theme. There’s a lot of places you can go. You have a tourist stop and people want to stop to eat, but what if you have a sign that says, ‘Rocket Park?’ The most important thing is they’ll remember Fremont.� Johnson said he realized in following a statewide trend, enrollment is down in the Fremont Community Schools. One thing that

could draw families to town, he said, is something like a Rocket Park. “Parks are economic development factors,â€? he said. “The biggest events could be held there.â€? Rather than adding activities, Johnson said Fremont might consider a walking trail with linkage between Fremont Town Park and Broad Street Park. The public survey’s top desire was for more walking trails. Some highlights of the proposed park plan includes: • A public survey showed a need to add a new park on town’s north side, walking trails, picnic tables and benches, new play equipment, additional park amenities, a splash pad and a dog park. • The overall park goals were to choose a name and brand for each of the town’s parks, assure that each park property is in excellent condition and clean, provide as many amenities as are sustainable over the year and build a resource capacity to advance parks and recreation. Copies of the comprehensive plan and five-year parks and recreation master plan are available for viewing at the Fremont Town Hall, the Fremont Public Library or Fremont’s website, townoffremont.org. There will be a public hearing for both plans at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Town Hall, 205 N. Tolford St.

Auctions America sale tops $28 million AUBURN — The Auctions America Auburn Fall show and sale was the company’s best, the company announced Thursday. Sales at the Labor Day weekend auction climbed above $28 million, with more than 80 percent of lots sold, Auctions America reported. What’s more, the 70,000 who attended the show mark a 40-percent spike in attendance from a year ago, the company said. Those figures translated into Auctions America’s most successful event in its four-year history. “This year’s Auburn Fall collector car weekend was simply electric,� said Auctions America president Donnie Gould. “The world came home to Auburn for this celebration of automotive culture and the response from buyers, sellers and attendees has been overwhelmingly positive.�
County could light Jimmerson Creek bridge ANGOLA — Possible lighting for the Steuben County bridge over Jimmerson Creek at C.R. 300W is being investigated by Steuben County Highway Engineer Jennifer Sharkey. Sharkey was asked to look into lighting on the bridge by Steuben County Commissioners Tuesday after a variety of Americans with Disabilities Act improvements were discussed for the four corners at Lake James and in Pleasant Lake. At issue was creation of handicap ramps on sidewalks in Pleasant Lake and the four corners at Lake James. There is much pedestrian traffic at the four corners, much of which travels over the bridge between dock sites and Lake James and Jimmerson Lake businesses. In addition to ramps, lighting for the bridge for the safety of pedestrians at night was suggested by an audience member. Lake James resident Bill Schmidt and Crooked Lake area resident George Pifer suggested taking the lighting beyond typical street lighting and making it decorative to enhance the busy intersection and bridge that is traversed by many lake visitors.
First councilwoman moves, resigns post KENDALLVILLE — Republican 3rd District City Council member April Waters has resigned from the council, effective immediately, because she has moved from her district. Waters was Kendallville’s first elected woman council member. She was re-elected to a second term in 2011. Waters encouraged citizens to get involved in city government, attend council meetings and learn more about city government by joining the mayor’s Citizens Academy. Local Republican party leaders are expected to caucus to select a replacement who must reside in the 3rd District.
Stutzman skeptical of invading Syria HOWE — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Howe, said he has a pair of distinct questions he needs answered before he even thinks about voting in favor of military action against Syria. Stutzman’s hesitance does not translate into acceptance of the use of chemical weapons, he said Tuesday. “Our hearts go out to all these people who are in the middle of this,� Stutzman said. “It’s unfortunate. It’s sad it’s happening. We’re not going to change every part of the world. We can’t run in and be the policeman of the world. We need to be very cautious about moving forward.� First and foremost, Stutzman said, he needs proof that Syria is an imminent danger to the United States. Stutzman said he also wants to know what the new Syrian government would look like should the Assad regime be toppled. Stutzman said it would take credible evidence for him to change his opinion regarding military intervention, but he is keeping an open mind.
Fort Wayne hotels could face tougher rules FORT WAYNE (AP) — Hotels and motels in the Fort Wayne area would face new health and safety standards under a proposed ordinance drafted in response to visitors’ complaints about bedbugs, damaged rooms and other problems with local lodging. The proposed ordinance would require annual inspections, with each site being graded based on the number of violations. Sanitation standards would be clearly defined and hotel and motel guests could easily access the grading system results. An increase in complaints about lodging conditions makes now a good time to act even though the issue was first discussed about five years ago, said Mindy Waldron, department administrator for the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health.
Miss America pageant back in Atlantic City ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The Miss America pageant is back in the city where it began, six years after spurning the city for Las Vegas. The pageant held a welcoming ceremony in Atlantic City on Tuesday for the 53 contestants, one from each state plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The field includes Miss Indiana, Terrin Thomas of Auburn. The contestants filed out of Boardwalk Hall, where the competition will begin next Thomas week and culminate days later, and walked across the Boardwalk to a stage. There, they participated in the traditional signing-in ceremony, in which each of them signed her state on a map of the United States and gave a few words of introduction.
Chuck Kelley is planning to attend a General Motors Co. Fort Wayne Assembly Plant event to brief Chevrolet dealers on features of the 2014 Silverado 1500. But his enthusiasm for the redesigned full-size pickup is such that he probably could recite most of the information already. He is general manager for Kelley Chevrolet in Fort Wayne, which last month received some of the first 2014 Silverados shipped by the plant. “It’s come out in the last 10 days or so and we’ve delivered a couple already,� he said Sept. 3, more than a week ahead of a “GM Truck Homecoming� the company was organizing to celebrate the launch of its next-generation Chevrolet and GMC Sierra pickups in Fort Wayne on Sept. 14. The dealer briefing, plant tour and drive-off with the new trucks was to take place three days ahead of the homecoming. Some features of the redesigned pickups the company highlighted in an April announcement include: a more powerful, more efficient EcoTec3 engine; a six-speed automatic transmission; disc brakes with Duralife rotors; and a new bed with standard box rail protectors and a “CornerStep� bumper. Double-cab models, which have replaced the extended cab, now have forward-hinged rear doors. Kelley said a new pillar between the front and rear seats adds to the integrity and strength of the cab area. “The new interior is more comfortable; it’s much quieter,� he said. “For a truck, it rides unbelievably; it rides like a car.� The redesigned pickups have been in production since July at GM’s plant near the intersection of U.S. 24 and Interstate 69, following a summer shutdown to complete retooling. The company announced in October 2011 that it would invest about $275 million to prepare the plant for that production, and “over the last two years we have been making changes and preparations for the next-generation truck,� said Stephanie Jentgen, plant communications manager. “We completely switched over in July when we came back from

our final shutdown for the retooling, and we’ve just been ramping up the numbers we’ve been building of the new one and making sure the quality is absolutely where we need it to be,� she said. The plant builds about 1,480 of the trucks per day at full production, and it has a goal to be at full production by mid-September, Jentgen said. Months before the facility began building the redesigned trucks to ship to dealers, it did pre-production pilot builds to see how the new equipment there would work and how suppliers would do with the new components they were making, she said.
“It was not just something management was involved in; it was a joint process with team members from UAW 2209. They’re the folks working daily putting the trucks together, and their input and feedback was invaluable.� Stephanie Jentgen Plant communications manager
• The plant also had to see that production processes were optimal with the new equipment, and it sought the insight of the union that represents its hourly employees — United Auto Workers Local 2209 — to make sure the processes were ergonomic as well as efficient. “It was not just something management was involved in; it was a joint process with team members from UAW 2209,â€? Jentgen said. “They’re the folks working daily putting the trucks together, and their input and feedback was
invaluable.� Rich LeTourneau, shop chairman for Local 2209, had predicted that because the redesigned pickup truck was more complex and involved more parts, and would require some outsourced work to be brought in house, it would take 400 to 600 more workers to build. Jentgen said the plant eventually hired 400 more workers to build the redesigned trucks, bringing the size of its work force to about 4,400 over three shifts. Disagreement over the size of the work force that would be required had drug out negotiations on a plant-level labor contract after Local 2209 approved a national four-year labor deal with GM in September 2011. The local’s website shows a plant-level contract finally was ratified in August. Members of the local were part of a core team that studied the best way to assemble the redesigned pickups, and some of them were among a group that lived in Warren, Mich., briefly so they could work directly with engineers who were developing the production processes. “If there was a part that was difficult to put in, they’d say, ‘Hey, why don’t you try this?’� Jentgen said. “I call it a new GM. It’s much more collaborative, much more efficient and much more successful.�

Tribute •
Mason a community man BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — Honest, straightforward, a family man — all those words describe Jim Mason. Another phrase describes him too — dedicated civil servant. Mason served in many political capacities, as an Auburn City councilman from 1976 to 1980, and a DeKalb County councilman for 12 years. Until his death he served as the president of the DeKalb County Airport Authority Board. Mason died June 20 at the age of 70. “He was an open book,” said his daughter, Angella Boyer. “He has been a part of the community his whole life.” Brad Stump, who serves on the Airport Authority Board, said replacing Mason will be difficult. “Finding someone with Jim’s integrity and experience and at the same time getting the job done will be almost impossible,” Stump said. “He believed in public service,” Stump said. “He didn’t see it as a career.” During his time on the Airport Authority Board, Mason helped with the plans for the DeKalb County Airport’s runway extension. “Whatever he said, you could take it at face value,” Stump said. Mason also served more than a decade with Relay for Life of DeKalb County. He lost his wife, Mellody Harris, to cancer in 1991. Boyer said her father never wavered caring for her and her two sisters after their mother’s passing. “He was always a family man,” Boyer said. “He never missed a gymnastics or band competition,” Boyer said. Boyer said even though her father did not like band competitions, he was there. “He said the competitions Sept. 7, 2013, at Lutheran Life Villages, Kendallville. Funeral services will be Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013, at 1 p.m. in Young Family Funeral Home, Kendallville Chapel, 222 S. State St., Kendallville. Calling is Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013, from 3-8 p.m. in the funeral home. Preferred memorials are to Lutheran Life Villages of Kendallville. A complete obituary will appear in Monday’s edition.

were too political in their judging,” Boyer said. Mason became involved with Relay For Life when his daughters started a team. He continued to serve alongside his girlfriend and longtime companion Judy Cole, whose own daughter battled cancer. The two met through a friend of Cole’s. “He definitely was a people person,” Cole said. “He just had a huge circle of friends.” Mason served as the chairman of logistics, assigning campsites and making sure things would run smoothly during Relay. The DeKalb Relay For Life director, Mindy Torres, said Mason was always a valuable asset to the team. “He did a lot for the logistics committee and he brought a lot of fun and smiles and orneriness to the team,” Torres said. Mason always made sure to block out the day for Relay, said Bill McKinley, the owner of American Heritage Trails in New Haven. Mason served as a part-time tour bus driver for the company. He started with American Heritage Trails when it first began eight years ago. McKinley estimated
that Mason drove over 18,000 people, transporting groups from coast to coast. In the spring of 2012, he drove the DeKalb High School marching band to Florida. “He had a big following,” McKinley said. “I had a lot of requests for Jim, especially in the Auburn area.” A longtime member of the Auburn Lions Club, each year Mason coordinated an annual baseball trip to see the White Sox play. This year his friends and family continued the tradition and watched the White Sox play in August. Mason earned the Melvin Jones Fellow, the highest honor a Lions club member could earn. He served as president of the club several times. In a letter read at Mason’s funeral, longtime friend and fellow Lions club member Wayne Madden called Mason a “strong leader.” “He lived in a world of service. He was faithful to his family and his little church in Corunna,” Madden said. “He was a good councilman, always thinking about what was best for the people of DeKalb County.” Mason was a lifetime member of the Zion 16 Lutheran Church in rural Corunna.
N.Y. campaign labeled as racist NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in an interview that one leading Democrat vying to replace him is running a “racist” campaign based on “class warfare.” Bloomberg made the comment about candidate Bill de Blasio in an interview with New York magazine due on newsstands Monday. It appeared on the magazine’s website Saturday. De Blasio is white, but he has been polling well among blacks since he began airing television ads featuring his interracial family. His wife is black and the couple has a son and a daughter. De Blasio has also criticized Bloomberg as not doing
enough for the poor, saying New York has become “two cities,” one for the rich and one for everyone else. In asking Bloomberg about the mayor’s race, the interviewer calls de Blasio’s bid “in some ways … a class-warfare campaign.” Bloomberg interjects, “class-warfare and racist,” according to the magazine. Asked to explain what makes de Blasio’s campaign racist, Bloomberg responded, “Well, no, no, I mean he’s making an appeal using his family to gain support. I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone watching what he’s been doing. I do not think he himself is racist. It’s comparable to me pointing out I’m Jewish in attracting the Jewish vote.”

Pakistan preps for war ISLAMABAD (AP) — Militants in Pakistan’s most populous province are said to be training for what they expect will be an ethnic-based civil war in neighboring Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw in 16 months, according to analysts and a senior militant. In the past two years the number of Punjabbased militants deploying to regions bordering on Afghanistan has tripled and is now in the thousands, says analyst Mansur Mehsud. He runs the FATA Institute, an Islamabadbased think tank studying the mix of militant groups that operate in Pakistan’s tribal belt running along much of the 1,600-mile Afghan-Pakistan border. Mehsud, himself from South Waziristan where militants also hide out, says more than 150 militant groups operate in the tribal regions, mostly in mountainous, heavily forested North Waziristan. Dotted with hideouts, it is there that Al Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri is thought by the U.S. to be hiding, and where Afghanistan says many of its enemies have found sanctuary. While militants from Punjab province have long sought refuge and training in the tribal regions, they were fewer in number and confined their hostility to Pakistan’s neighbor and foe, India.

All that is changing, say analysts. “Before, they were keeping a low profile. But just in the last two or three years hundreds have been coming from Punjab,” said Mehsud. “Everyone knows that when NATO and the American troops leave Afghanistan there will be fighting between Pashtuns and non-Pashtuns.”
And the Punjabi militants will side with the Afghan Taliban, who are mostly Pashtun, Afghanistan’s dominant ethnic group and the majority ethnic group in Pakistan’s northwest region that borders Afghanistan. Like many in the Taliban, the Punjabi militants share a radical and regressive interpretation of Islam.
“This disaster never comes to an end,” yelled Isaq Hassan, a car washer who lost a colleague in the blasts. “See this, that and this! Life is worthless here,” he said as he pointed to dead bodies on the ground. An Associated Press reporter at the scene said wounded people screaming in pain were being taken away by ambulance. Soldiers also fired in the air, apparently in an attempt to restore order. Dead bodies badly burned by the flames could be seen by frightened onlookers who had gathered. Nicholas Kay, the U.N. representative for Somalia, condemned the attack, saying “cruel and cowardly acts of terrorism serve to remind us that the people of Somalia desperately need peace.” “Terrorism is a threat to Somalis, the people of the region and the world. It needs to be defeated
militarily and politically,” said Kay. Militants, most likely from the group al-Shabab, attacked The Village last November. That attack, though, was less severe; two suicide bombers attacked but the blast killed only one guard. Guards were reported to have opened fire on the attackers, which may have kept the death toll down. Al-Shabab makes frequent attack attempts against government leaders and seats of power. “They attack the restaurants because they hate to see people peacefully spending time together,” said Mohamed Abdi, an Interior Ministry employee who spoke as he stood near the dead body of an old man. “They are committed to obliterating any sign of peace. Because of such attacks, it’s very hard for the government to restore security in the near future.”
that prosecutors should have disclosed information that cast doubt on the credibility of a now-retired detective who said Milke confessed to being involved in the killing of her 4-year-old son, Christopher. The 49-year-old Milke has not been exonerated, but a judge allowed her to could go free while she prepares for a new trial in a case that made her one of Arizona’s most reviled inmates. Milke was convicted in the death of her son who
authorities believe was killed for a $5,000 insurance payout. Police said Milke dressed the boy in his favorite outfit in December 1989, telling him he was going to see Santa Claus at a mall before handing him over to two men who took the child into the desert and shot him. She had been imprisoned since 1990. A defense lawyer told the judge last week that Milke would live in a Phoenixarea home purchased by supporters.
have put on her first album.” She said “Unconditionally” was her favorite song and she was proud to Perry have written it. “Dark Horse,” which features rapper Juicy J, sounds like a Southern rap-techno mashup. Perry’s first single, “Roar,” bumped Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” from the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart
this week. She debuted the music video for the track Thursday. “I’m very excited to bring visuals to a lot of the songs and play them live,” she said. “Prism” features producers Dr. Luke, Klas Ahlund, Sia, Bloodshy, Greg Kurstin and others. Some of the new tracks include emotional lyrics. She sings “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” on “Double Rainbow,” and on “By the Grace of God,” she sings “wasn’t going to let love take me out that way.”

Somali blast kills 15 people MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somali militants attacked a restaurant near Mogadishu’s seat of government for the second time in less than a year on Saturday, detonating two large blasts that killed at least 15 people and wounded nearly two dozen, police said. Officials said the attack included a car bomb blast and a suicide bomber who entered The Village eatery. The second blast was caused by a suicide bomber posing as a first responder after the car bomb exploded, the African Union military force in Somalia said in a statement. The force of the blasts appeared to tear much of the roof off the restaurant, which is frequented by government workers. Capt. Ali Hussein, a senior police official, put the death toll at 15 and said at least 20 had been wounded in the blasts.

SOCIAL MEDIA: Schweitzer says Facebook just one tool of many FROM PAGE A1
questions from residents on construction projects or city events, is another communication tool the city can use to disseminate news to its residents, Schweitzer said. “An appropriate strategy is not just a social media strategy or not just a web strategy, but it’s a complete communication strategy,” said Schweitzer. “Using papers, using radio, using mailers, using social media — people gets news in different ways. Having social media, we think, is one of the ways. There is a growing constituency that uses that, so the mayor wanted to be plugged into that appropriately. It’s something that is being used more and more all the time, and it’s growing in its diversity.” Schweitzer said when Auburn first launched its social media outlets, the intent was to use them strictly to notify the public of city news or happenings and direct followers back to the city’s then-new website and Mayor Norm Yoder’s blog. While they accomplished that, to the city’s surprise, the feeds also became interactive. “It was interesting, because once we started doing it, we started getting tweets back and Facebook posts back and it became a way to communicate with constituents and ratepayers,” said Schweitzer. “It’s a cool, interactive government and utility service.” Schweitzer said the city’s social media usage is ever-developing as staff learns to better use the platforms and the public connects to them more. Schweitzer is working with Auburn Police Department, for example, to develop ways in which social media can be used to interact with the public to prevent and solve crimes. “It’s very much a work in progress,” Schweitzer said.
Giving people a heads up In Angola, the city is working to learn how best to take advantage of Facebook. Mayor Richard Hickman said the city is focused primarily on its using its website to broadcast information, but his information technology department is working to finds ways to use its Facebook page to reach more residents — and even out-of-town residents. “It seems to be something they look for,” said Hickman. “According to the people that really monitor that, it seems to be the people from out of town who are using that more than the website. We really do try to put as much as we can on there, and we’re planning on using it more and more; it’s just a way of life.” Hickman said the city’s intent is to use Facebook and potentially Twitter down the road to disseminate pressing news such as an incoming severe storm. He said using a platform that is designed to broadcast news or happenings instantly is a benefit to residents. “I think that’s one of the better things that we could do for them in support of our community, to give people as much of a heads-up as we can,” said Hickman. “We can get on the Facebook and blurt that out a lot quicker than anything else. I realize it’s not going to reach all of them, but every day there’s more and more people willing to use Facebook and Twitter. So down the road, it’ll probably be one of the main things we use.” Hickman said using social media as an information dispenser is smart government, even if he doesn’t quite understand it. “It’s bypassing me personally at my age, but I know it’s the common thing, and we’re trying to reach as many people as we can. It’s surprising how many older people are getting into it,” he said.

“I like knowing that the younger generation knows what’s going on in town, and that’s the only way you can reach them, really,” Miller said. “I know people are looking at it.” Laurie Miller LaGrange town clerktreasurer the town’s social media strategist
• What’s happening in LaGrange Laurie Miller, the LaGrange town clerk-treasurer, doubles as the town’s social media strategist. Her strategy? Simply to share what’s going on in town. Miller, who often posts on the town’s Facebook page in her off time, utilizes the platform more to share posts from town businesses or nonprofit organizations rather than direct-from-town-hall news. While the town has a Twitter handle, it’s sparsely used. The town’s Facebook page, though, it a hot site for town goings-on. “We try to share what’s going on around town when we see it,” said Miller. “My goal with it is, I want to make it so people know what is going on, not just what we’re doing. I’ve had so many people say, ‘There’s nothing happening in LaGrange.’ Well, if you’re a fan of some of those pages, there are a lot of things going on that I wouldn’t have known about with (Facebook).” Miller said she searches regularly to find new pages of town businesses or organizations in an effort to continue to grow the town’s social media presence. She will begin posting dedicated news from town hall, including on the town council, and also is working to learn Twitter more. Miller said she would like to see both platforms become information portals for town residents to look to. “I like knowing that the younger generation knows what’s going on in town, and that’s the only way you can reach them, really,” Miller said. “I know people are looking at it.”
The mayor’s personal page Kendallville city government does not have a dedicated Facebook or Twitter account. Instead, the city shares pressing information on its police department’s Facebook page, and Mayor Suzanne Handshoe uses her personal Facebook to post city information. She’ll post photographs from city hall meetings or news articles to share with the public, she said, as a way to share what’s happening around town. Handshoe said she was pushed into Facebook by her daughter. “Everybody checks their Facebook every single day, so she said if you really want to get something out and you want it to travel fast, you should let people know,” said Handshoe. Now, Handshoe receives messages on Facebook, and even cards and letters through the mail, from residents and former residents thanking her for posting news about the city. And the goal is more news. Handshoe said she’s working to push more dedicated city news out through social media, including information on city council decisions and town hall meetings. “I’m trying to keep up,” said Handshoe. “I really think you have to keep up with the level of where people are at, and I probably need to explore the Twitter thing.”

Area faith-based schools balance education, religion BY MATT GETTS mattg@kpcnews.net
In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled any kind of prayer composed by public school districts, even nondenominational prayer, is unconstitutional government sponsorship of religion. The nation’s highest court has upheld that decision over the years, but parents in northeastern Indiana can choose an educational setting where prayer is not only allowed but encouraged without sacrificing high academic standards. In northeastern Indiana, there are four faith-based schools: Lakewood Park School in Auburn, St. John Lutheran School in Kendallville, St. Joseph Catholic School in Garrett and St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic School in Avilla. All four schools have a history of producing high academic achievement: • At Lakewood Park, 96 percent of the graduating class of 2013 was enrolled in some form of post-secondary education and its third graders all passed the IREAD standard. • At St. John, all third-grade students have passed the IREAD3 test for two years in a row, and students have thrived in competitions from Spell Bowl to the Kleiman Creative Writing Contest to state and regional science fair competitions. • At St. Joseph Catholic School, the school’s overall ISTEP scores were the highest in DeKalb County last year, and every third-grader passed IREAD3 for the second consecutive year. • At St. Mary of the Assumption, students have had a 90 percent-plus ISTEP passing percentage for several years running, and the school carries an “A” rating from the state. All of the school make time for prayer and religious instruction during a typical week. “We’re here to prepare these kids for eternity,” St. Joseph Principal Kristine Call said. “I’m glad we do well on ISTEP, but the most important thing to me is eternity.” It’s a sentiment all four private schools share, that there is a bigger measure of success that has nothing to do with state ratings or numbers on standardized tests. “The foundation of our

• school is the faith development,” St. John principal Tim Walz said. “That really is what we’re all about.” The head of the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, told a gathering of St. Mary school officials of the importance of a faith-based education during a recent tour of the school. “We’re concerned that they not only do well in this world, but the next,” Rhoades said. “I went through Catholic schools all my life. I really think it’s an important part of the mission of the church.” “We are raising tomorrow’s leaders,” St. Mary principal Jeff Kieffer said. “I would hope they would have a strong moral foundation.”
The right mix Getting the right mix of faith and secular learning often involves meshing the two — combining religious teachings with secular-world applications, according to school officials, “There’s certainly a balance,” Walz said. “There is that practical side. How do we fit that in?” “When we’re teaching curriculum, we’re teaching a biblical world
view,” Lakewood Park Schools superintendent Dr. Ed Yoder said. “It is integrating a discussion of that view.” “Some of it is integrated,” Walz said. “(Teachers) are able to bring in Christian discussions” to a variety of school subjects. With public schools having convocations and their own lesson plans involving character-building issues, the parochial schools and their public counterparts are more similar than some may think. “I don’t know that we are really so different from public schools in relationship to use of time,” Yoder said. Parental support is a big difference in some instances, parochial educators said. “The kids know what is expected of them,” Call said, “and the parents back it up. The parent is vested in their education. They spend hours of volunteer time here. It’s a lot of work to send your child here.” With parents enforcing discipline, problem students may be less likely to cause disruptions in private schools. The emphasis on moral character is also important, according to Kieffer, because it sets up
an environment well-suited to learning. “Teaching manners and teaching respect early on helps us down the road,” Kieffer said. “The absence of discipline issues really saves us time.” Parochial educators said a vested staff is also critical to getting the religious message across to students without hurting academic results.
Academic pressures Some parents may send their children to a private school solely based on faith instruction, Kieffer said, but a majority of parents would not settle for weak educational output. “The pressures are there,” Kieffer said. “If we don’t have students perform academically … the customers won’t come back.” “There’s academic pressure, but I just have to keep reminding myself of our mission and our vision,” Call said. But those pressures are balanced by a larger picture, what some would call an infinitely larger picture. “We have to be careful that we’re not looking upon education as being totally focused on test results,” Rhoades said. Rhoades said children, at least in Catholic schools, should be educated intellectually, spiritually and morally. Finding the right balance between education and religious instruction isn’t difficult, Yoder said. “If God is present, we are successful,” he said. “If we allign with His will, we are successful.”

to extinquish the blaze. The fastest boat in the regatta with two divisions, one for show and another for go, was entered by Dave’s Lake Shack, Snow Lake. It was the second straight year the Shack’s boat took first. The Monster survived the heats. However, the Stead of the North Sea, entered by Forever Improving Steuben County Together II, did not and ended up with the Titanic Award for most spectacular sinking. The FIST II boat also was the People’s Choice winner for raising the most money by the voting public. The Judges’ Choice award in the show division went to a boat called The Croc which included the Peter Pan team of Isabella, Ava and Mia Augenstein, Fort Wayne. The three were dressed in Peter Pan costumes and crewed a boat that looked like a crocodile. The Judges’ Choice award for the go division went to the Good Neighbear boat from State Farm Insurance crewed by Nora Budreau. She towed a teddy bear on skis. Fastest boat was the SS Kohl’s Cares boat with the Kohl’s Associates In Action team of Erica Young, Jacqui Gentile and Janice Barker.

The Peter Pan Crew stood out during the pre-race briefing for teams taking part in Saturday’s Steuben County United Way Cardboard Boat Regatta on Lake James. The team included, from left, Ava, Isabella andd Mia Augenstein, Fort Wayne.
Also recognized during the event was Mike Wyss, Snow Lake, who has become known as the master boat builder of the Steuben County Cardboard Boat Regatta. Wyss has cardboard boat building down to a science. He monitors the rules for the contest and puts on clinics for people wanting to learn how to build boats. He also will build boats for entrants who do not want to build one on their own. With the regatta out of the way, it’s time to start the heaving lifting of the United Way, the annual campaign
drive. “We’ll start meeting with businesses,” said Bobbi Grill, executive director of Steuben County United Way about the campaign. In meeting with businesses, Grill said employees can learn the benefits of donating to the campaign. One advantage, Grill said, is donors have a say in where their money goes. “The money stays in the community. They can donate to United Way or county. If there’s a nonprofit in the community,
it can go there,” she said. Once again, the campaign’s goal is the same as last year — $150,000. “Our focus is on income, education and health,” she said. “We mostly want people to be aware and how we do it. We want to make sure all agencies and services we support are in the county. “We’re not just a fundraiser. We listen and talk to other agencies and we’re trying to listen.” Grill said a major part in that listening is through impact giving. “We want to know more about cause,” she said and in doing so, United Way helps stretch its funding dollars further through an extensive grant application process. United Way’s focus is give, advocate and volunteer. “Even those people who don’t have a lot can give $1 per week — it means a lot to others. We want to raise awareness,” she said. “We try to make life better.” Donations to United Way may be done through a few different ways such a lump sum, payroll deductions or billing. Contributions may be made at United Way’s website at unitedwaysteuben.org. For more details, call 665-6196. United Way’s campaign runs through December.

Congress returning to full plate WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress returns to work facing a momentous vote on whether the United States should attack Syria, a question that overshadows a crowded and contentious agenda of budget fights, health care, farm policy and possible limits on the government’s surveillance of millions of Americans. Back Monday after a five-week break, many lawmakers stand as a major obstacle to President Barack Obama’s promised strikes against Syria amid fears of U.S. involvement in an extended Mideast war and public fatigue after more than a decade of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama insists the world must act. He blames Syrian President Bashar Assad for gassing his own people, killing 1,429 civilians, including 426 children. The Syrian government has denied responsibility for the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack outside Damascus, and blames rebels. On Wednesday, the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the first showdown Senate vote is likely over a resolution authorizing the “limited and specified use” of U.S. armed forces against Syria for no more than 90 days and barring American ground troops from combat. A final vote in the 100-member chamber is expected at week’s end. “I think we’re going to get 60 votes. It’s a work in progress,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Friday. Support for the president is stronger in the Senate than in the Republican-controlled House. There, Obama faces a difficult path to victory despite the backing of Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California for military strikes. The Syria vote poses a dilemma for Obama’s Democratic allies in

Congress. Many strongly opposed the war in Iraq but are reluctant to undercut a president from their own party. The crucial player is Pelosi, a proven vote-getter. “A lot of members have constituents who have not been persuaded and I think a part of that inability to be persuaded is that they’re thinking about Iraq,” Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Friday after one of many classified briefings for lawmakers. “That’s what I’m hearing in my district even from people who are extremely supportive of the president.” Senior administration officials will speak to lawmakers in advance of the president’s speech to the nation Tuesday night. A House vote is likely the week of Sept. 16. Even before Syria, Congress faced a busy and difficult fall packed with battles. Obama and his allies in the Democratic-run Senate face fights from House Republicans over bills
Corruption eyed in BP oil claims NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A former FBI director recommended Friday that the Justice Department investigate whether several lawyers plotted to corrupt the settlement program designed to compensate victims of BP’s 2010 Gulf oil spill. But the independent probe led by Louis Freeh didn’t find any evidence of wrongdoing by the multibillion-dollar settlement’s court-appointed administrator, who has been a target of BP’s increasingly aggressive campaign to challenge payouts to Gulf Coast businesses. Freeh, who was appointed by a federal judge to investigate alleged misconduct by a staff attorney who worked on the settlement program, cleared claims administrator Patrick Juneau of engaging in any “conflict of interest, or unethical or improper conduct.” The report also found nothing that warranted shutting down payments to victims of the oil spill, which spewed millions of gallons of oil into the water, fouling marshes, fisheries and beaches from Louisiana to Florida. However, Freeh concluded that then-top members of Juneau’s staff engaged in conduct that was improper, unethical and possibly criminal. He recommended that his report be forwarded to the Justice Department. “The nature and seriousness of this type conduct varied in degree but was pervasive and, at its extreme, may have constituted criminal conduct,” the report said. Freeh’s probe also isn’t over. His report said his work is “ongoing” and will result in recommendations for strengthening the settlement program’s operations and anti-fraud measures. Juneau said Freeh’s report validates his team’s work, and he played down the alleged misconduct by two former members of his staff as an “isolated situation.” “We will continue the job of processing claims,” he said in a statement. “We welcome
the recommendations from the Freeh report and we look forward to working with him to help improve all aspects of the claims process.” BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said the report “confirms what BP has suspected for some time: there has been fraud and unethical conduct within the facility itself and among various claimants and their lawyers —and immediate steps need to be taken to prevent it in the future.” “The evidence of conflicts of interest and misconduct assembled in Judge Freeh’s report is shocking, but it simply underscores that neither BP nor the public has had any idea of what’s really going on within the (settlement program),” Morrell said. “Judge Freeh’s continued investigation is essential to assuring public confidence in the integrity of the claims process.” Two of the lead plaintiffs’ lawyers who brokered the settlement with BP last year said Freeh’s report “confirmed what we knew to be true all along: that Patrick Juneau has, for more than a year, led the Court-Supervised Settlement Program with integrity, transparency and objectivity.” “It is a testament to Mr. Juneau’s running of the program that Judge Freeh’s recommended that the Settlement Program continue paying claims unabated, with Juneau at the helm,” the attorneys, Stephen Herman and Jim Roy, said in a statement. While the report cites certain conduct within the program as problematic, Freeh said, “this should not prevent the (settlement program) from fairly and efficiently processing and paying honest and legitimate claims in a timely manner.” It also found that two private attorneys — Glen Lerner and Jon Andry — used Lionel Sutton, then a lawyer on Juneau’s staff, to expedite a claim by their firm for nearly $8 million. In return, Sutton received more than $40,000 in fees from payments on claims he had referred to their law firm before joining Juneau’s staff, the report says.
to fund government agencies and raise the ceiling on federal borrowing to avert a market-rattling government default. Then there are efforts by conservatives to cut off money for Obama’s health care law, with open enrollment for health insurance exchanges beginning Oct. 1. After Syria, Congress’s most immediate task is passing a temporary spending bill to prevent much of the government from shutting down on the Oct. 1 start of the new budget year. The stopgap measure would buy time to work out funding government programs over the next 12 months, but even its passage is in doubt. Republicans are considering whether to use the measure as a last-ditch assault on Obama’s expansion of federally subsidized medical care and new requirement that millions of people without health insurance either buy it or pay penalties to the Internal Revenue Service. GOP leaders are eager to avoid an
impasse and government shutdown. They had signaled earlier that they prefer a straightforward temporary spending bill that would keep agencies running at current budget levels, reflecting the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts in place for the past six months. A grass-roots campaign over Congress’ August recess has increased pressure on the leaders to attach the health care provision, but a Boehner spokesman said no decision has been made. Congressional Democrats and the White House are eager to reverse the cuts, and many defense hawk Republicans would like to as well. But there have been no fruitful negotiations between the White House and House GOP leaders. Negotiations between White House officials and a small group of Senate Republicans collapsed last month over familiar disagreements over tax increases and cuts to popular federal benefit programs. Without a deal, those automatic spending cuts could become entrenched through all of next year and possibly into the next several years. A 2011 agreement called for a total budget of $1.058 trillion next year to operate federal agencies. The automatic spending cuts triggered by failing to follow up with further deficit cuts by curbing benefit increases, raising taxes or both would pare that figure by $91 billion, to $967 billion for the 2014 budget year. A comparable spending figure for the soon-to-be-completed 2013 budget year is about $988 billion. The additional cuts looming next year come almost entirely from defense. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon, R-Calif., says many Republicans on his committee want to reverse the defense cuts as a condition for voting for the resolution authorizing military strikes on Syria.

Hiring pace is tepid WASHINGTON (AP) — Just how sturdy is the U.S. job market? That’s the key question the Federal Reserve will face when it decides later this month whether to reduce its economic stimulus. The answer depends on where you look. The economy has added jobs for 35 straight months. Unemployment has reached a 4½-year low of 7.3 percent. Layoffs are dwindling. Yet other barometers of the job market point to chronic weakness: The pace of hiring remains tepid. Job growth is concentrated in lower-paying industries. The economy is 1.9 million jobs shy of its pre-recession level — and that’s not counting the additional jobs needed to meet population growth. Nearly 4.3 million people have been unemployed at least six months. What’s more, employers have little incentive to raise pay. Many unhappy employees have nowhere else to go. Still, when it meets Sept. 17-18, the Fed is expected to reduce its $85 billion a month in bond purchases by perhaps $10 billion. Its purchases have helped keep home-loan and other borrowing rates low to try to encourage consumers and businesses to borrow and spend more.

Egypt launches assault CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian helicopter gunships and tanks pounded suspected hideouts and weapon caches of Islamic militants on Saturday in the northern Sinai Peninsula in what locals say is the largest operation in the lawless region for years. Nine militants and two soldiers were killed during the raids, security officials said. Officials say that the military is hunting hundreds of militants believed to be responsible for a series of attacks in the region they overran after the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The militants, the officials say, belong to a number of well-known al-Qaida-inspired groups that seek the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate in northern Sinai, a region bordering Israel and the Gaza Strip. Attacks in the region have increased following the July 3 military coup that toppled President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist, prompting the military offensive. Early Saturday, resident say they saw winding columns of trucks and armored vehicles pour into the area. Some said they hadn’t seen soldiers on foot
in their villages in decades. Communications were jammed for hours, as authorities seized control of two telephone exchanges. Military helicopters hovered overhead in a dozen villages concentrated near two border towns of Rafah and Sheikh Zuweyid, security officials said. Airstrikes targeted shacks believed to be gathering points of militants, they said. Soldiers later stormed homes searching for suspected fighters. “Successive strikes are aimed at causing paralysis of the militant groups and cutting communications between each other,” a security official said. “The offensive is carried out within a timeframe where there will be periods of calm for intelligence before resuming once again.” “We aim for cleansing the whole region of militants and prevent them from coming back,” he added. Other officials said two soldiers were killed in a nighttime attack by militants in the town of Sheikh Zuweyid in northern Sinai. The soldiers were there as part of the offensive. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as
they were not authorized to publicly brief journalists. In a statement, Army spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said nine suspected militants were killed on Saturday and nine others detained. Earlier, another official said “dozens” were wounded in the Sinai offensive. Conflicting casualty figures come from militants taking away the corpses of their comrades and treating their wounded, a security official said. Smoke could be seen rising from villages and troops set up a cordon to prevent militants from escaping as others combed the area, he said. Troops arrested a number of suspected militants but others managed to escape to mountainous areas in central Sinai, an official said. In the past, militants used a vast network of underground tunnels linking Egypt with Gaza as a way to escape security crackdowns. However, over the past two months, the military has destroyed more than 80 percent of them, stemming the flow of weapons, militants and goods into Gaza, a territory under an Israeli-imposed blockade.

NASA moonshot dazzling BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASA’s newest robotic explorer rocketed into space late Friday in an unprecedented moonshot from Virginia that dazzled sky watchers along the East Coast. But the LADEE spacecraft quickly ran into equipment trouble, and while NASA assured everyone early Saturday that the lunar probe was safe and on a perfect track for the moon, officials acknowledged the problem needs to be resolved in the next two to three weeks. S. Peter Worden, director of NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, which developed the spacecraft, told reporters he’s confident everything will be working properly in the next few days. LADEE’s reaction wheels were turned on to orient and stabilize the spacecraft, which was spinning too fast after it separated from the final
rocket stage, Worden said. But the computer automatically shut the wheels down, apparently because of excess current. He speculated the wheels may have been running a little fast. Worden stressed there is no rush to “get these bugs ironed out.” The LADEE spacecraft, which is charged with studying the lunar atmosphere and dust, soared aboard an unmanned Minotaur rocket a little before midnight from Virginia’s Eastern Shore. “Godspeed on your journey to the moon, LADEE,” Launch Control said. Flight controllers applauded and exchanged high-fives following the successful launch. “We are headed to the moon!” NASA said in a tweet. It was a change of venue for NASA, which normally launches moon missions from Cape Canaveral, Fla. But it provided a rare light show along the East Coast
Pirate ship loaded with riches BOSTON (AP) — Fog was swallowing his ship’s bow, the winds were picking up and undersea explorer Barry Clifford figured he needed to leave within an hour to beat the weather back to port. It was time enough, he decided, for a final dive of the season over the wreck of the treasure-laden pirate ship, Whydah, off Cape Cod. That Sept. 1 dive at a spot Clifford had never explored before uncovered proof that a staggering amount of undiscovered riches — as many as 400,000 coins — might be found there. Instead of packing up for the year, Clifford is planning another trip to the
Whydah, the only authenticated pirate ship wreck in U.S. waters. “I can hardly wait,” he said. The Whydah was built as a slave ship in 1716 and captured in February 1717 by pirate captain “Black Sam” Bellamy. Just two months later, it sank in a ferocious storm a quarter mile off Wellfleet, Mass., killing Bellamy and all but two of the 145 other men on board and taking down the plunder from 50 vessels Bellamy raided. Clifford located the Whydah site in 1984 and has since documented 200,000 artifacts, including gold, guns and even the leg of a young boy who took up with the crew. He only

Unlike the quick three-day Apollo flights to the moon, LADEE will need a full month to reach Earth’s closest neighbor. An Air Force Minotaur V rocket, built by Orbital Sciences Corp., provided the ride from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.

recently got indications there may be far more coins than the roughly 12,000 he’s already documented. Just before his death in April, the Whydah project’s late historian, Ken Kinkor, uncovered a Colonial-era document indicating that in the weeks before the Whydah sank, Bellamy raided two vessels bound for Jamaica. “It is said that in those vessels were 400,000 pieces of 8/8,” it read. The 8/8 indicates one ounce, the weight of the largest coin made at that time, Clifford said. “Now we know there’s an additional 400,000 coins out there somewhere,” he said. The final dive may have provided a big hint at where.
Scam uses black money PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A federal judge in Rhode Island has sentenced an Indiana man to nearly two years in prison for his role in a so-called “black money” scam. The scam involves criminals convincing people that black construction paper is actually money dyed black, and persuading them to exchange it for real money. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Providence announced Friday that Alvin Pennue, of Indianapolis, was sentenced to 21 months in prison. Sentencing occurred after a jury convicted Pennue, 32, of two counts of passing altered currency and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property. Pennue was arrested in October 2011 after he persuaded a victim to withdraw $5,000 from his bank account to invest in the scheme.

Carl Edwards won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Saturday.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — NASCAR will have a new champion at the end of the season. For now, it has yet another conspiracy. Reigning champion Brad Keselowski failed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship Saturday night when an ill-timed caution ruined his run at Richmond International Raceway. Same thing happened to Ryan Newman, who used a pass on eventual winner Carl Edwards with 10 laps to go to take the lead for what should have been enough to get him into the Chase. Then Clint Bowyer spun three laps later to bring out a caution that ruined Newman’s race. The benefactor? Martin Truex Jr., Bowyer’s teammate at Michael Waltrip Racing, who struggled the entire race. Newman and Truex were locked into a race for the second of two wild cards in the 12-driver Chase field, and the race win would give it to Newman. Only he lost the lead on pit
road, wound up finishing third, and Truex grabbed the final spot in the Chase. Conspiracy theorists immediately accused Bowyer of spinning on purpose to help his teammate. A despondent Newman wasn’t sure. “They are teammates. I don’t know if he looked at the scoring pylon, knew I was leading, it doesn’t matter,” Newman said. “If that was the case, I’ll find out one way or the other. At the same time we still had the opportunity to make our own destiny and win it on pit road, and we didn’t. That being said, we’re out.” Truex, who broke his right wrist two weeks ago in a crash at Bristol and has been racing with a cast, said he had no idea who even caused the caution. “I don’t know. I don’t have any thoughts on it. I raced my (butt) off all night long, that’s all I can do. I didn’t even know (Bowyer) brought out the caution until after the race.”
Michigan beats ND 41-30 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Devin Gardner threw four touchdown passes, including a victory-sealing connection to Drew Dileo with 4:18 left, and the dual-threat quarterback wearing No. 98 to honor Tom Harmon ran for a score to lead No. 17 Michigan to a 41-30 win over No. 14 Notre Dame on Saturday night in front of an NCAA-record crowd of 115,109. The Wolverines (2-0) had a pair of 14-point leads, but the Fighting Irish (1-1) refused to get routed. Notre Dame pulled within a TD early in the fourth quarter when defensive end Stephon Tuitt made a diving interception in the end zone. Kyle Brindza made a 40-yard field goal with 9:15 left to pull Notre Dame within four points. The Irish were called for pass interference twice on the ensuing drive and Gardner later took advantage with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Dileo. Tommy Rees threw a second interception with 1:29 left to help the Wolverines seal the victory.

A Jenkins to Dylan Hunley TD pass put the Knights ahead to stay, giving the freshmen a 1-1 record.

Rafael Nadal, of Spain, returns a shot against Richard Gasquet, of France, during the semifinals of the 2013 U.S. Open tennis tournament on Saturday in New York.
Djokovic, Nadal make Open final NEW YORK (AP) — The game took 21 minutes. It lasted 30 points. Novak Djokovic squandered five break points and lost that instant classic of a game but made Stanislas Wawrinka pay an awfully heavy price. After dropping the epic third game of the final set Saturday, Djokovic broke the next time Wawrinka served, then didn’t falter once he had the lead. The top-seeded Serb withstood a 4-hour, 9-minute onslaught of Wawrinka’s massive groundstrokes to pull out a 2-6, 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory and advance to his fourth straight final at the U.S. Open, where he’ll play Rafael Nadal. Second-seeded Nadal beat eighth-seeded Richard Gasquet 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-2 in the second semifinal — a much less dramatic affair than the opener, in which Djokovic could feel the stakes rising with every point he played at 1-1 in the fifth. “Well, I was thinking — I guess everybody was thinking — ‘Whoever wins this game is going to win the match,’” Djokovic said. “After he won the game, I thought to myself, ‘OK, I guess I have to fight against those odds.’” He did, to improve to 20-7 in five-set matches, and now, Nadal and Djokovic will meet Monday in their third final at Flushing Meadows in the last four years, the only break coming

Wenning leads Ball State to victory MUNCIE (AP) — Senior quarterback Keith Wenning passed for two touchdowns and 325 yards and Ball State defeated Army 40-14 on Saturday. Wenning, who was 23-of-32 passing, had 15 throws for 10 or more yards and three passes for a gain of 30 or more. And it was too much for the Black Knights to keep pace. “We have a lot of weapon on offense,” he said. “I don’t look to one guy to throw the ball to. I’ll throw
the ball to whoever’s open, if that’s the running back, if that’s any of the receivers. Army, they did some good things, (but) they couldn’t stick with some of our receivers sometimes so it opened them up and I just got them the ball.” On the Cardinals’ first drive, Willie Snead caught passes of 11, 15 and 13 yards. Horactio Banks, who had two touchdowns and 51 yards rushing, had a 7-yard rush and later a 10-yard run to
last year when Nadal was out with a knee injury. They split the first two meetings, with Nadal winning in 2010 and Djokovic in 2011. “Novak is an amazing competitor,” Nadal said. “His results say that he is probably one of the best players that I have ever seen.” Nadal won easily despite dropping his first service game of the tournament. He had extended his streak to 73 when Gasquet broke him in the fourth game of the second set. Both men held until a second-set tiebreaker, which Nadal won 7-1 to end what little drama existed in the afternoon’s second match. Fans certainly got their money’s worth in the first one. “I managed to find my way through, to adjust, and to win,” Djokovic said. “That’s what counts.” His victory will be remembered mostly for a game he lost — the third game of the final set, a back-and-forth roller coaster ride in which Djokovic had five opportunities to break for a 2-1 lead and lost them all. Ninth-seeded Wawrinka had eight game points. Before the last, he gestured to the crowd to pump up the volume. Sensing the opportunity, Djokovic hammed it up, as well. Wawrinka followed that well-deserved break in the action with a 123-mph service winner up the middle.
tie the game at 7-7. On the next drive, Smith, who had 83 yards receiving and a touchdown, scored the go-ahead TD on an 8-yard reception to make it 14-7. Ball State’s Scott Secor kicked a career-best 47-yard field goal to give the Cardinals (2-0) a 17-7 lead. Larry Dixon, who had 107 yards rushing and two scores for Army (1-1), broke away for a 71-yard run to give the Black Knights the lead 56 seconds into the game.

Purdue holds on to score win WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Ricardo Allen saw it coming. His interception with 19 seconds remaining preserved Purdue’s 20-14 win over Indiana State on Saturday afternoon. Indiana State (0-2) reached the Purdue 36-yard line in the final minute before Allen stepped in front of Mike Perish’s pass and gave Darrell Hazell his first win as Purdue’s coach. Allen said Purdue coaches told him what Indiana State would do when the Boilermakers blitzed because the Sycamores had responded to it the same way throughout the game. “Our coaches called it out,” he said. “They called it out and said, ‘Let’s go make a play.’ You’ve just got to go with what the coach is coaching, and it always turns out positive.” Akeem Hunt returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and ran for 82 yards on 22 carries for the Boilermakers (1-1). “At the end of the day, we take it as a win-lose situation,” Allen said. “This is a win business and that’s what we did. We’re happy about that, but we know we’ve got strides to make.” Perish passed for 284 yards and two touchdowns for Indiana State, an FCS team that lost to Indiana 73-35 the previous week. The Boilermakers returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. B.J. Knauf fielded the ball at the 2-yard line, then handed off to Hunt, who ran up the left sideline for the remaining 90 yards for the score 14 seconds into the game. No. 3 Ohio State 42, San Diego State 7 Kenny Guiton took over when Braxton Miller left with a sprained left knee, running for one touchdown and passing for two while leading No. 3 Ohio State to a 42-7 victory over San Diego State. Miller watched the last three quarters from the sideline after being sandwiched between two tacklers on the Buckeyes’ seventh offensive play. The Buckeyes (2-0) didn’t need him. Guiton, who helped save Ohio State’s 12-0 season a year ago, had the most playing time he’s ever had in a game. He set career bests with 19 of 28 passing for 152 yards and 83 rushing yards. It was another disappointing outing for the Aztecs (0-2), who lost 40-19 to FCS Eastern Illinois at home in their opener. Indiana 41, Navy 35 Keenan Reynolds rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns, leading Navy to a 41-35 season-opening victory. The Midshipmen (1-0) played almost flawlessly, finishing with 444 yards rushing, no turnovers, five penalties and only three carries for negative yards. Navy has now won 20 games over BCS foes since 2003 — the most of any non-BCS school in the

Purdue’s Akeem Hunt returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown against Indiana State on Saturday. The Boilermakers held on for a 20-14 win.
nation during that span. For Indiana (1-1), it was a huge deflation after a 73-35 victory over Indiana State. Navy scored on its first three possessions, taking a 17-0 lead. No. 21 Wisconsin 48, Tenn. Tech 0 Melvin Gordon ran for 140 yards and a score, and No. 21 Wisconsin’s overpowering defense got its second straight shutout in a 48-0 win over Tennessee Tech. Joel Stave was 24 of 29 for 219 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, while defensive back Darius Hillary set the tone early by forcing a fumble that set up a score for the Badgers (2-0). Wisconsin had no problems against the Golden Eagles (1-1), whose spread offense got outmuscled by the bigger Badgers. Tennessee Tech made it past the 50 just once in the first three quarters. Dual-threat quarterback Darian Stone rarely had time to make any plays, going 8 of 19 passing for 69 yards, and carrying seven times for 16 yards. After trouncing Massachusetts 45-0 last week, the Badgers have back-to-back shutouts to open a season for the first time since holding Miami and Marquette scoreless in 1958. Michigan St. 21, South Florida 6 Shilique Calhoun scored on a fumble return and an interception return, enabling Michigan State to
overcome another poor offensive performance in a 21-6 victory over South Florida. The Spartans (2-0) rotated Connor Cook, Tyler O’Connor and Andrew Maxwell at quarterback, but their offense contributed only one touchdown. The defense has scored four of Michigan State’s six TDs this season. South Florida (0-2) was routed in its opener by McNeese State, and the Bulls couldn’t get anything going offensively Saturday. Bobby Eveld was 6 of 25 for 66 yards with a fumble and an interception. Michigan State’s offense finally scored in the fourth quarter when Jeremy Langford ran 2 yards for a touchdown. That drive was only 33 yards after a short South Florida punt. Calhoun opened the scoring Saturday with a 4-yard fumble return in the second quarter, and with Michigan State clinging to a 7-6 lead in the third, Eveld was hit as he threw. The ball floated to Calhoun, who returned it 56 yards for another touchdown. Illinois 45, Cincinnati 17 Nathan Scheelhaase passed for 312 yards and four touchdowns to lead Illinois to a surprise 45-17 win over Cincinnati. The Illini (2-0) went up 21-0 in the second quarter and survived a Bearcat rally to stay undefeated. For the Bearcats (1-1) the loss was made worse by quarterback Munchie Legaux’s injury. He left in the fourth quarter on a cart with what appeared to be a serious leg injury. Scheelhaase threw to 11 different receivers. The biggest catch was Steve Hull’s 22-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. It capped a 99-yard drive. Illinois also ran the ball effectively, piling up 210 yards on 39 carries. Five players had at least 24 rushing yards, and none had more than Young’s 64 yards on 14 carries. Iowa 28, Missouri State 14 Jake Rudock and Mark Weisman each ran for a pair of touchdowns and Iowa beat Missouri State 28-14, snapping a seven-game losing streak dating back to 2012. Weisman had 180 yards rushing for the Hawkeyes (1-1), who won for the first time since beating Michigan State last October. Weisman scored on runs of 10 and 3 yards to help the Hawkeyes take a 21-0 lead late in the third quarter. Missouri State answered with touchdowns on back-to-back plays from scrimmage early in the fourth quarter, pulling within 21-14 with 14:15 to go. Rudock’s 2-yard TD run put Iowa back ahead 28-14, and Tanner Miller sealed it with an interception in the end zone with 6:50 left. Kierra Harris threw for 127 yards and a TD for Missouri State (0-2), which fell to 1-29 against FBS teams.

Hamilton helps Reds top Dodgers CINCINNATI (AP) — Billy Hamilton stole second in the 10th inning to set up Todd Frazier’s game-winning single, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Saturday. Ryan Ludwick opened the Cincinnati 10th with a leadoff walk against Brian Wilson (1-1). Reds manager Dusty Baker then went to the dynamic Hamilton, and the speedy prospect took second as catcher A.J. Ellis dropped the ball while taking it out of his glove. The 22-year-old Hamilton, who set a professional record with 155 steals in the minors last season, has yet to make a plate appearance in the majors, but is 4 for 4 on steal attempts since he was promoted on Monday. Frazier followed with a line-drive single into right field to give Cincinnati five wins in its last six games. J.J. Hoover (4-5) got three outs for the victory. Yasiel Puig hit a two-run homer for NL West-leading Los Angeles, which has lost three straight. Adrian Gonzalez went 4 for 5 and A.J. Ellis also had two hits. Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke struck out nine in six innings and was in line for his 15th win before Cincinnati rallied in the seventh. Shin-Soo Choo singled with one out and Cesar Izturis followed a run-scoring double against Paco Rodriguez, tying it at 3. Izturis, starting at second base in place of the injured Brandon Phillips, tied his season high with three hits. Choo and Joey Votto had two hits apiece. Greinke allowed eight hits
and walked one. He is 11-1 with a 2.13 ERA in his last 15 starts. The win helped the Reds keep up the pressure on the top two teams in the bunched NL Central. Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati are all in position to make the playoffs, but the division race is still very much in the balance. Mat Latos allowed three runs and nine hits in seven innings for the Reds. He struck out three and walked one. Orioles 4, White Sox 3 Matt Wieters hit a two-run single in the 10th inning to lift Baltimore to its third consecutive win. It was the ninth consecutive loss for the White Sox, who grabbed a 3-2 lead on Conor Gillaspie’s pinch-hit homer against Tommy Hunter (4-3) in the top half of the inning. Brewers 5, Cubs 3 Logan Schafer hit a three-run triple and Johnny Hellweg pitched six innings for his first career major league victory in the Brewers’ win over the Cubs. Hellweg (1-3) allowed three runs on four hits. He struck out one and pitched around three walks to finally earn his first victory after flourishing in the minors. Brewers relievers Rob Wooten and Brandon Kintzler each pitched a scoreless inning then Jim Henderson pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 27 opportunities. Jake Arrieta (2-2) took the loss. Royals 4, Tigers 3 Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer off Justin Verlander and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3. Perez drove a two-out pitch
Hurricanes give ACC another win over SEC; Oregon romps against Virginia MIAMI (AP) — Miami made it two big victories for the Atlantic Coast Conference against the Southeastern Conference in the first two weeks of the college football season. The Hurricanes beat mistakeprone No. 12 Florida 21-16 on Saturday. Add that to Clemson’s victory against Georgia and the ACC can come away feeling good about its early season showing against the league that has won the last seven national championships. Ultimately, it was a split of four spotlight matchups. No. 1 Alabama beat Virginia Tech handily and South Carolina whipped North Carolina in the opening weekend of the season. But considering all the grief the ACC generally takes for not being able to stand up to the mighty SEC, .500 is looking solid. “How about that ACC? Spunky little old league?” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said after his Tigers had an easy follow-up victory against South Carolina State on Saturday. Miami needed a lot of help from Florida. The Gators had five turnovers and numerous empty trips to the red zone. Florida outgained Miami 413-212, but Stephen Morris threw a couple of TD passes and the Hurricanes held on. Morris threw two first-quarter touchdown passes, and Miami took advantage of Florida giving the ball away on four red-zone opportunities on the way to knocking off the Gators. Duke Johnson added a 2-yard touchdown run with 3:29 left to make it 21-9 Miami (2-0), which has won four straight games for the first time since 2008 and will almost certainly return to the AP
Top 25 on Sunday for the first time since 2010. Jeff Driskel threw for a careerbest 291 yards and had a 21-yard touchdown pass to Solomon Patton with 2:08 left for the Gators (1-1), who lost three fumbles, had two passes intercepted and were stopped once on downs. Driskel also ran for a touchdown. But Driskel also turned the ball over twice in the fourth quarter. No. 2 Oregon 59, Virginia 10 De’Anthony Thomas ran for 124 yards and three touchdowns, Marcus Mariota threw for two touchdowns and ran 71 yards for another score, and Oregon started fast and completely manhandled Virginia. The Ducks (2-0), who gained a school-record 772 yards last week in beating Nicholls State, looked capable of doing it again against a Virginia defense that hoped to keep the Cavaliers in the game. Oregon finished with 557 yards and did all its scoring while possessing the ball for just 21:25. Virginia (1-1) got an early look at what it was up against as Mariota dropped back on a third-and-5 on the opening series, then bolted up the middle untouched, going 71 yards for a touchdown. After 1:51, the Ducks were on their way to their 16th consecutive victory on their opponent’s field, the longest streak in the country. No. 4 Clemson 52, South Carolina St. 13 Tajh Boyd ran for a touchdown and Clemson returned two interceptions for scores for the first time in program history in a win over FCS opponent South Carolina State. Boyd finished 14-of-23 passing for 169 yards after accounting

for five TDs a week ago and becoming a prime Heisman Trophy contender as the Tigers (2-0) defeated No. 11 Georgia 38-35. In this one, Boyd scored Clemson’s first touchdown and played only a half against the Bulldogs (0-2) before finding a spot on the Death Valley sidelines next to offensive coordinator Chad Morris. That was more than enough, though, for Clemson to move to 27-0 all-time against FCS teams. Cornerbacks Martin Jenkins and Darius Robinson each had pick-6 scores to help the Tigers to a 38-7 lead by halftime. Backup Cole Stoudt had three touchdown passes, two to reserve Germone Hopper, in the blowout.
No. 8 Louisville 44, E. Kentucky 7 Teddy Bridgewater threw for 397 yards and four touchdowns, and Louisville routed Eastern Kentucky on a day the Cardinals’ defense just missed it second straight shutout. Linebacker Preston Brown had two sacks for Louisville, and Calvin Pryor had an interception as Louisville limited Eastern Kentucky (1-1) to 76 yards of total offense in the first half. Following the noon kickoff, Louisville (2-0) settled for a pair of field goals from John Wallace after turnovers gave the offense short fields. The Cardinals also settled for a third field goal in the third quarter despite reaching Eastern Kentucky’s 4. Bridgewater hit his first five
passes and wound up 23 of 32 with no interceptions after throwing five touchdowns with one interception in the opener. He tossed TD passes to Damian Copeland, and two to DeVante Parker and Gerald Christian while connecting with eight different receivers. No. 11 Georgia 41, No. 6 South Carolina 30 Aaron Murray threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns, Georgia’s beleaguered defense finally came up with a stop, and the Bulldogs defeated South Carolina for an early edge in the Southeastern Conference East. Coming off a 38-35 loss at Clemson, Georgia could not afford another defeat if it wanted to remain a serious contender for a national title. Murray took care of that, turning in one of the best games of his career. The fifth-year senior capped his stellar day for the Bulldogs (1-1, 1-0 SEC) with an 85-yard touchdown pass to Justin Scott-Wesley with 13 minutes remaining. The defense made sure it stood up, stuffing Mike Davis on fourthand-goal from inside the 1. Davis led the Gamecocks (1-1, 0-1) with 149 yards rushing on 16 carries. No. 13 Oklahoma State 56, UTSA 35 New starter J.W. Walsh completed his first 10 passes and finished 24-of-27 for 326 yards with four touchdowns to lead Oklahoma State over UTSA. Walsh led the Cowboys (2-0) to TDs on five of six first-half possessions. UTSA (1-1) quarterback Eric Soza threw three TDs in the fourth quarter and finished 24 of 41.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Tokyo wins bid to host 2020 Summer Olympics BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The International Olympic Committee went for a familiar, trusted host, selecting Tokyo for the 2020 Games and signaling that playing it safe was preferable to more risky picks like Sochi and Rio. With Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reassuring IOC members on the Fukushima nuclear crisis, Tokyo defeated Istanbul 60-36 Saturday in the final round of secret voting. Madrid was eliminated earlier after an initial tie with Istanbul. Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 Olympics, billed itself as the “safe pair of hands” at a time of global political and economic turmoil — a message that clearly resonated with the IOC. With Madrid’s bid dogged by questions over Spain’s economic crisis and Istanbul handicapped by political unrest and the civil war in neighboring Syria, Tokyo offered the fewest risks. The choice of Tokyo bucked the IOC’s recent trend of taking chances on host cities — Sochi, Russia, for the 2014 Winter Games, Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics and Pyeongchang, South Korea, for the 2018 Winter Games. The IOC’s desire for a reliable, dependable host in 2020 was a crucial factor for Tokyo.
Jets cut QB Quinn, promote LB Lansanah NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets have released Brady Quinn, leaving rookie starter Geno Smith and backup Matt Simms as the team’s only healthy quarterbacks for the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The move Saturday had been expected because coach Rex Ryan prefers to not have three quarterbacks active for games — and it prevents Quinn’s salary from being guaranteed. Salaries for NFL veterans become guaranteed at 4 p.m. EDT Saturday. Quinn was signed by the Jets on Monday to provide a veteran presence at the position with Mark Sanchez sidelined with a shoulder injury. It’s very likely the Jets will re-sign Quinn early next week. Linebacker Danny Lansanah, who had an outstanding training camp, was promoted from the practice squad. He last played in a regular-season NFL game in 2009.

Lee birdied the first six holes, and had 11 birdies overall, to equal the lowest round in a European Tour event this year. The 348th-ranked Lee was 16-under 197. Thomas Bjorn, the 2011 champion from Denmark, Alejandro Canizares of Spain and Victor Dubuisson of France were tied for second. Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain, the 2010 champion, and Tommy Fleetwood of England both shot 69 to sit five shots behind Lee in a tie for fifth place. Richard Finch of England made a hole-in-one at the 208-yard 13th.
U.S. has 8-4 lead in Walker Cup SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — NCAA champion Max Homa beat Max Orrin 5 and 3 and the United States won the first six singles matches Saturday in the Walker Cup to take an 8-4 lead over Britain and Ireland at historic National Golf Links of America. Homa, coming off his senior season at California, won the par-4 14th with a par and finished off the Englishman with a birdie win on the par-4 15th. The U.S. rallied after Britain and Ireland took a 2½-1½ in the morning foursomes matches. The biennial amateur event, first played in 1922 at National Golf Links, will close Sunday with four morning foursomes matches and 10 afternoon singles matches.
From playground to Hall of Fame for Payton, King SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Gary Payton grew up on the West Coast and became a dominant defender. Bernard King got his start on the East Coast and developed into a great scorer. Those different routes led to the same destination — the Basketball Hall of Fame. On Sunday, they will be inducted into the sport’s shrine along with Rick Pitino and nine others in a ceremony that caps three days in which they or their family members received Hall of Fame rings and jackets and applause from a room full of admirers. Pitino’s induction comes just five months after he led Louisville to the NCAA championship. He also won the title with Kentucky in 1996 and is the only coach to take three teams — Providence was the other — to the Final Four. The other inductees include former coaches Jerry Tarkanian, who led Nevada-Las Vegas to the 1990 NCAA title, and Guy Lewis, who took Houston to five Final Fours. The others selected are North Carolina women’s coach Sylvia Hatchell, five-time WNBA All-Star Dawn Staley, former Knicks guard Richie Guerin, NBA deputy commissioner Russ Granik and Oscar Schmidt, who played in five Summer Olympics for Brazil.

Striking Syria: 11 points to consider We applaud U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Howe, for the skepticism he expresses about military action against Syria. Last week President Barack Obama said he would seek congressional approval before launching a military strike in retaliation for what he said was the use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. At this time, with what we know now, we hope Congress does not grant that approval. The administration says 1,429 people died from the Aug. 21 attack in a Damascus suburb. Assad’s government blames the episode on rebels seeking to overthrow his government. A United Nations inspection team is awaiting lab results on tissue and soil samples it collected before completing a closely watched report. We believe these 11 points are reasons for skepticism about military action against Syria: 1. We have not been attacked by Syria. 2. What would the new Syrian government look like should the Assad regime be toppled? Could it be equally brutal … or worse? If Assad is toppled, there would be no government to negotiate with. The opposition is not unified and has no political organization or leader. 3. There is a small possibility that the gas attack was the work of terrorist groups such as al-Qaida or Hezbollah, with one of the groups either vying for power or trying to goad the U.S. into an action that will raise the ire of more in the Muslim community and increase regional turmoil. 4. American military action could inadvertently strengthen Islamic extremists and criminals and help them gain control in Syria. We do not want to supplant Assad only to see Damascus come under al-Qaida’s control. 5. Bombing an Islamic country would fuel anti-American sentiment across the Middle East, where many state: “We love Americans, but hate your government.” 6. Risks for Americans living in the Middle East would increase. 7. We would be acting alone. We would be going against the United Nations position that states that any use of force against Assad, without the approval of the U.N. Security Council as illegal under international law. 8. It is an unnecessary risk for America. History says it might escalate. We don’t need another large-scale military effort. 9. We have no way of knowing what will happen next. How will other countries react? Would there be further brutal use of weapons by Assad because he will have nothing to lose? 10. In Egypt, it could splinter support for the new Egyptian government and set back the progress of the last several months. 11. It is expensive. Each tomahawk missile costs U.S. taxpayers more than $1 million. We wonder: Is something motivating our government other than what is being discussed openly? Nothing we know now convinces us that military action against Syria is in the long-term, best interest of the American people.

Letters • Events seek support to help publicize child abuse toll, prevention To the editor: In June KPC newspapers published an excellent article on child abuse, with stats and insights, and paid TRACK (Three Rivers Art Center for Kids) the honor of including our efforts to combat child abuse with art. A reader wrote simply, “Art regenerates the brain cells.” A survivor of abuse mentioned in the article, Randi Shepherd, whose daughter Destiny, 8, was badly shaken when she was a baby, describes so eloquently the terrible toll abuse takes on its victims: “The child, helpless and defenseless against the power and rage of an adult, must suffer a lifetime of punishment for a crime they never committed … The child must live the remainder of their new life in a broken and battered body always trying to overcome their new physical and mental handicaps that have been dealt to them by no choice of their own. Destiny Shepherd is just one example of the millions of children that suffer from the hands of evil people.” Randi is working to create a law in Destiny’s name. Another reader summed up the need to combat child abuse: “This is an epidemic that needs to be addressed openly and make people aware just how often abuse is occurring.” Randi, with Destiny, will be a speaker at our program Nov. 13 when TRACK is teaming up with IPFW’s Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs to provide speakers for their seventh annual Domestic Violence Initiative “Breaking Through the Silence. The Noise of Breaking Through an Abusive Situation” in the Walb Ballroom. The Fort Wayne Ballet will open the program at noon with a short performance.
In a News Sentinel feature article about our other speaker, Maleah Heck, we learn that “Sixty percent of the kids who become teen parents were sexually abused. Sexual abuse offenders generally have 1-9 victims before they are caught. One in seven boys is sexually abused before he reaches 18 and one in four girls. Heck said in 90 percent of the cases the abuser is a family member. During the time it takes Heck to give a 30-minute presentation, 15 children will have been sexually abused.” Maleah, sexually abused by family members growing up, has learned that sharing her story with others not only helps them but empowers herself from a victim to a survivor. Another survivor of abuse will speak March 18 at 7 pm, also sponsored by ODMA in Walb. Lauren Chapin is the child star of the TV classic “Father Knows Best.” As an adult she has become a nationally recognized authority on the subject of child abuse. I’m asking for your ideas on how we can raise $900 for Lauren’s appearance. IPFW is donating $750 and Reimbold & Anderson with Ameriprise Financial Services is contributing $500. The $900 will be for airfare, food and lodging. The Fort Wayne Dance Collective’s teen dance troupe will also perform and the premiere of “To Be on Track” written by Patty Hunter will be performed by local artists. Both programs are free. If you have $900 you can spare, that would be great! But failing that, I’m hoping you have some ideas, a business we can contact, or donate an item we can sell at the Sept. 21 program, “Winds of Change” auction and art fair in downtown Kendallville. TRACK sees combating child abuse as the responsibility of all of us. Everyone has a talent or a story or an idea to share. Hope to meet you on the 21st. Terrence Doran Founder, TRACK
Pence plan may leave many Hoosiers uninsured INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence achieved a bureaucratic goal last week when the Obama administration signed off on a one-year extension of a federal waiver for the Healthy Indiana Plan. He immediately declared it a “victory for Hoosiers enrolled in this innovative program and will ensure that Indiana remains at the forefront of consumer-driven health care in the United States.” But is this a victory for Hoosiers? First, let’s do some math. This is a state of 6.5 million people. In an interview Tuesday, Pence put the uninsured population at 880,000. In the state’s biennial budget passed last April, it provided funding for an additional 90,000 Hoosiers to be covered under the pre-Obamacare Medicaid system. At the insistence of Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, about $400 million was placed in the budget to cover a full extension of Medicaid under Obama’s Affordable Care Act. “We think 500,000 will be eligible for participation in the premium tax credits for the health care exchanges,” Pence told me. The current Healthy Indiana Plan covers 36,600 and there are 55,000 people on the waiting list. As part of the federal waiver through 2014, HIP enrollment will expand by 15,000 people. “We’ll be just shy of 50,000,” the governor said. That puts the pool of uninsured around 300,000. The governor wants to use the Healthy Indiana Plan as the vehicle for Obamacare era Medicaid expansion. “In terms of where to go from here,
we just cleared our first prerequisite,” Pence said. “My other two prerequisites in Medicaid expansion are: It has to preserve elements of the consumer-driven model of the Healthy Indiana Plan and it has to be fiscally responsible and sustainable.” Under Obamacare, 100 percent of the Medicaid expansion HOWEY will be covered for first three years, POLITICAL the and then 90 percent REPORT in perpetuity. “That 10 percent we would have to pick up in Brian Howey the long term is a very significant expense for the state of Indiana,” the governor said. Thus, Pence is calling for a “modest” expansion of Medicaid under the Healthy Indiana Plan. And if the feds reject HIP for expansion, Pence is prepared to walk away. And this is a values element that every taxpayer, every lawmaker and our governor needs to carefully consider. Asked what his message is to the insured citizens who essentially subsidize the 300,000 uninsured, Pence talked about a “broad range of services” to the uninsured, citing hospital charity care, the Disproportion Share Hospitals like Wishard in Indianapolis and Parkview in Fort Wayne, and community health centers. “Health care is available to most
•
Hoosiers,” Pence said at Tuesday’s press conference. “Every person has the ability to walk into an emergency room.” Pence acknowledged that many community health professionals and local hospitals are concerned about what would happen if the federal government does not approve HIP for a full Medicaid expansion. Health care industry sources tell me the Healthy Indiana Plan is not designed for a full expansion and would likely be dramatically changed by the federal government. “It’s an honest disagreement,” Pence said. Citizens in Elkhart heard it when Elkhart General Hospital President Greg Losasso said his community would be “disadvantaged” without the federal funds that would come with a Medicaid expansion. In the first three years under Obamacare, the number Pence is prepared to leave on the table is $10.45 billion (Indiana’s biennial budget is $15 billion). Potential cost to the state between 2014 and 2020 range from $600 million to cover those “out of the woodwork” – current Hoosiers eligible for Medicaid coverage – and up to $2 billion to cover 300,000. My colleague from Community Newspapers, reporter Maureen Hayden, has written a column that every Hoosier should read that adds some stunning perspective to the stakes here. She reported that 2.7 million Hoosiers sought care in hospital emergency rooms last year. Thirty Indiana counties have no obstetric services. Because of this lack of preand post-natal care, Indiana’s infant
mortality rate is a stunning 7.7 per 1,000 babies, a full percentage above the national average. Of 35 “critical access” hospitals in rural Indiana, 11 of them are losing money. According to a 2011 study by the Indiana Hospital Association, Indiana’s hospitals “ate” about $3 billion delivering uncompensated care to people who couldn’t pay their hospital bills (those with coverage pay for that). About $1.7 billion of that was the “charity care” that, by Indiana law, non-profit hospitals are required to deliver. Hayden described the Indiana social safety net that Pence wants to rely on if Medicaid isn’t expanded under HIP as “tattered.” When I asked Pence about weighing these factors, he responded, “For Indiana, our fiscal integrity is the foundation of our prosperity.” Add on top of this the state’s high obesity and smoking rates, the thousand meth labs police have busted so far this year (involving 300 kids), and that 13.5 percent of our households are “food insecure” according to the United States Department of Agriculture, and the picture we see isn’t that of the “amber waves of grain” Pence once talked about on his statewide radio show. Indiana is an unhealthy state. Its people are under duress. Our leaders have much soul searching to do in the coming months.

Car festival is magnet for fascinating people I hope you won’t mind a second straight column about classic cars, because “it’s really about the people,” as TV celebrity Wayne Carini reminded me Saturday in Auburn. One of the people I became acquainted with at last weekend’s classic car festival lived a long time ago. But until Aug. 31 at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, I knew very little about Robert Wiley of Auburn. The museum made Wiley the topic of a program during the annual Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival. Although the Auburn Automobile Co. never ranked higher than 13th among U.S. car builders in annual sales, at one time it rose as high as fourth in sales overseas. Wiley, the museum’s export manager, gets much of the credit. Wiley’s daughter, Joyce Wiley McLendon, now of Palm Beach, Fla., said her father grew up on a farm in western Noble County.
Ignoring his father’s wishes that he stay on the farm, Wiley hitchhiked to Angola, enrolled in Tri-State University, earned a degree and became a school principal. The U.S. Army later sent Wiley to the Philippines during World War I. While riding a train home after his service, still in uniform, DAVE Wiley sat next to the president of KURTZ Auburn Automobile Co., who offered him a job as a salesman. When the legendary E.L. Cord took over the car company in the mid-1920s, he made Wiley the export manager, explaining that Wiley was the only man in the office who had been overseas or graduated from college. An hour after the Wiley
•
program, in Auburn’s Eckhart Park, I eavesdropped as a crew producing a series for The History Channel interviewed a pair of Duesenberg owners. Peter Heydon of Ann Arbor, Mich., comes to Auburn every year with my favorite classic car of all time, his unique 1927 Duesenberg Model X Boat Roadster. It has won top prizes at major car shows all over Europe, but Heydon told the TV crew he is most proud of winning Best of Show at Auburn in 2000. If you listen to National Public Radio, you’ll often hear that a program is sponsored by The Mosaic Foundation of Heydon and his wife, Rita. Peter Heydon is retired from a career as a professor at the University of Michigan. During his TV interview, he explained how the writings of Robert Browning inspired him to preserve historic cars. After the interview, the TV crew asked Heydon for his email
address. “I don’t own a computer,” he responded. I suppose owning two Duesenbergs makes up for it. KPC Media Group gives an annual award at the ACD Festival to local people who contribute to the success of the event. I’ve presented that award 34 times. I’ve never been prouder of any recipients than this year’s winners, part-time Auburn residents Oscar and Bonita Roberts. Because they’re so active in the festival, it never occurred to me that they would not be at the opening luncheon where I revealed them as the winners. Instead, Oscar was at his replica Sinclair service station in north Auburn, preparing for a festival-related event later that day. I chose the couple for the award because they turned an empty building into the replica station, and they make it available for community events. But I didn’t know about the
party they have thrown the last four years for owners of modern versions of ACD classics, sometimes derisively called “replicars.” The Robertses own both types of cars — original ACD classics and a newer reproductions. Oscar noticed that owners of the reproductions sometimes are treated as second-class citizens at the car festival, so he decided to invite them to their own party to make them feel more welcome. Thursday night, a hundred guests showed up. It struck me that only the day before, the nation had observed the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and that in a small way, Oscar and Bonita Roberts were demonstrating the same spirit by treating everyone as equals.

Putting together a winning coalition on Syria situation Most Congressional votes follow strict party lines these days. But the resolution authorizing the president to strike at Syria for using nerve gas against its own people scrambles those polarizing propensities. Both parties are divided, and the president can only prevail by fashioning the sort of bipartisan coalition he has tried — and largely failed — to build around other issues. Since the early ’70s, the GOP has portrayed itself as more willing and able than the Democrats to employ American power. That tradition of robust military response helped generate widespread Republican support for President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq after 9/11. That tradition endures today, primarily in what might be called the interventionist wing of the Republican Party.

The Republican divisions are more visible, but Democrats have their own problems. The war-weariness Sen. Chambliss mentions is even more pronounced among liberals who opposed the Iraq war in the first place.
• Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “They don’t want to see us get involved in this.” This weariness is reinforced for some Republicans by an adamant hostility toward President Obama, even when he espouses a policy they might otherwise support. “There are plenty of conservatives who are not isolationists who don’t trust Obama to conduct foreign policy,” a GOP strategist told the Washington Examiner. “They’re not comfortable risking American troops with Obama as commander-inchief.” The Republican divisions are more visible, but Democrats have their own problems. The war-weariness Sen. Chambliss mentions is even more pronounced among liberals who opposed the Iraq war in the first place. Only 29 percent of Democrats favor air strikes, according to a new Pew poll and that fatigue is compounded by confusion over where the president’s strategy could lead. “(The) aftermath of a U.S. strike on targets in Syria is difficult to predict, with negative consequences that may be beyond our capability to control,” warned Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts. But even longstanding Democratic doves are more willing to use force when it comes to defending Israel and deterring Iran, and that’s why the administration is vigorously pushing that angle. Secretary of State John Kerry even compared Syria’s Assad to Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein, and the argument is working with lawmakers like Eliot Engel of New York. “If we stand idly by,” Engel said on NBC’s “Today,” “then every despot in the world thinks they can commit war crimes and no one will do anything.” Obama’s best argument with Democrats, however, is self-interest. He will be president for more than three more years. Many issues Democrats care about are coming up on Capitol Hill: immigration, tax reform, entitlement spending. These legislators are stronger if he is stronger, and losing the Syrian vote would diminish the president’s leverage in all those battles. So here’s the key to a winning coalition: liberal Democrats who want to strengthen the president and conservative Republicans who want to strengthen the presidency. Our bet is they will narrowly prevail. COKIE ROBERTS AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS are columnists for Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

Review: Samsung’s new watch blends style, tech SUWON, South Korea (AP) — Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, a new computing device worn like a wristwatch, is certain to pique much curiosity when it starts being seen in public. The intensely black rectangular screen and orange strap on the wrist of a Samsung executive immediately caught my eye as she entered a corporate meeting room to give a preview of the gadget. It didn’t take me long to see what Samsung is trying to achieve. It wants to attract not only tech addicts who must have the latest gadget but also young, design-conscious consumers. The Gear’s design flair and ease of use are its sweetest attributes, but it may not entirely please either group. Although powered by the Android operating system, like many phones and tablets, it will work only with Samsung devices — and only with newer models. Samsung will start shipping the $299 Gear smartwatch in September, ahead of a similar product expected from Apple. I had a chance to play with a pre-production unit for about 10 minutes and briefly with the version that Samsung announced Wednesday in Berlin on the eve of the annual IFA consumer electronics show. Like similar products already being sold, the Gear is not an independent device. For useful functionality, the Gear needs to be linked with a specific
AP
A model touches the screen of a Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch Wednesday in Berlin, Germany. Samsung has unveiled a highly anticipated digital wristwatch well ahead of a similar product expected from rival Apple. The so-called smartwatch is what some technology analysts believe could become this year’s must-have holiday gift.
Samsung smartphone or tablet computer. The pairing is done wirelessly over a Bluetooth connection built in to both sides. The Gear’s display is a touch screen measuring 1.63 inches diagonally. Its strap has an embedded camera. The Gear supports apps such as Facebook and lets the wearer answer incoming calls or check email without picking up the smartphone that’s paired with it. The Gear is not the smartwatch with a flexible display, as
Governors and mayors normally talk as if they are personally responsible for bringing jobs to their states and communities. This is nonsense. Outside of jobs with the government itself, elected officials have little to do with employment decisions. Tens of thousands of privatesector decision makers MORTON are in control. MARCUS The best elected officials can do is blow the horn for their home areas, as Gov. Mike Pence is doing with his 15-second ads on a Times Square digital billboard. It is, however, in the nature of things that politicians will pose and prance as if their programs were the decisive factors in increasing employment. None of them will admit the possibility that those same actions could be the reason for unemployment. Let us then look at the size of the tasks our governor and mayors face: As of July this year,
disclosed in recent Samsung patent filings. With smartphones and tablets now ubiquitous, the technology industry is trying to create a new category of products to wow consumers. Many analysts believe the next big step for consumer electronics is advanced computing technology in everyday objects such as wristwatches and glasses. Sony introduced its latest SmartWatch in June and unveiled an update Wednesday.
Indiana’s jobs (full and part time) numbered just 28,100 fewer than our July peak of 2007. That is less than 1 percent of the current number of jobs. You could say Indiana is within easy reach of wiping out the job deficit of the Great Recession. Three Indiana metro areas (Columbus, Indianapolis-Carmel and Lafayette) had more jobs in July than they did in July 2007, having reached new historic peaks for that month. They are in the best shape among the Hoosier 14 metro areas defined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The remaining 11 metros have job deficits off their peaks ranging from 2 percent in the Evansville metro area to 20 percent in Anderson’s metro area. The peak July for Evansville was reached in 2006, whereas Anderson, in a long-term down draft, last peaked in July 1995. No other metro has a longer period of struggling to regain its former level of jobs. Elkhart-Goshen’s shortfall of 17,400 jobs is 15 percent of its current employment level, off a peak reached in 2006. Kokomo’s metro area and that of South Bend-Mishawaka had July peaks in 2005 and also (along with Michigan City-LaPorte)
have deficits in the double digits (12 and 11 percent). Lesser deficits are to be found in the Fort Wayne and Terre Haute metro areas (5 percent each) as well as in Bloomington, Gary and Muncie areas (4 percent each). While these latter figures are numerically small, they remain blotches on the shining face each mayor would have for his or her community. Job growth is not really a local matter. In each community, businesses depend on the economic vitality of the region and the general health of the national economy. Other than that, economic development as practiced by localities and states is a form of beggar-thyneighbor. Draw jobs from others by competing to have either the best of services or the lowest taxes. Make claims about the quality of your labor force while existing employers complain about the deficiencies of that same body of workers. These are the tactics of job creation our leaders know best and employ the most. MORTON J. MARCUS is an independent economist, speaker and writer formerly with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

f you would like to do something a little out of the ordinary with your kids — something fun and educational — a trip to the Spangler Candy Co. factory in Bryan, Ohio, makes for a great day. About 40 miles east of Kendallville (U.S. 6 will take you most of the way there), the factory makes Dum Dums, Circus Peanuts, Saf-T-Pops and is one of the world’s biggest producers of candy canes. No need for a reservation, you can hop on a trolley tour between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Use your time waiting to peruse the museum and store. You can try the free samples of Dum Dums, look at their lesser known products (did you know there are holiday themed Dum Dums?) and see the history of the company through a photo wall and glass-encased display of products.

SPANGLER: Dum Dums mystery flavor still a mystery FROM PAGE C1
Once you get photos of your crew wearing the required hairnets, you will be led onto a trolley in one of their warehouses. The vast amount of candy wrappers is a glimpse into just how much candy this factory produces every day. Unfortunately, because of food regulations, you will not go by the actual rooms where the candy is being made — but you will see the interesting videos right on your trolley. The trolley tour guide and driver were knowledgeable and sweet. But they weren’t able to give up the company’s secret method behind the Dum Dums mystery flavor. After the factory tour I recommend two more stops in Bryan, Ohio: The Four Seasons restaurant, formerly Lester’s Diner, which is a ’50s-style restaurant whose iconic retro coffee cup sign was mimicked in the TV sitcom “Alice,” and a trip to Moore Park, a beautiful 11-acre park, with a pool and two playgrounds, including Imagination Station, which is full of creative play structures.
STEPHEN DOUCETTE
The Spangler Candy Company’s store features the many candy items produced there, such as Jelly Belly and Smartie flavored candy canes, and strawberry marshmallows, similar in texture to the banana-flavored circus peanuts.

We choose our destination through free will Before my starting time at work changed a while back, I used to see the Amtrak roll through Kendallville as I walked from my car to the building. For me, BARB passenger trains are BRALEY the ultimate, romantic picture of people who are going “somewhere.” The destination doesn’t matter, just the journey. For us as Christians, however, the destination very much matters because the ultimate destination means eternal happiness in God’s presence or eternal misery by being separated from God. But how do we get to our ultimate destination of heaven or hell? We get to either destination by the journey we make in this mortal life, by the choices we make in our God-given free will. Free will is something that we so easily take for granted, at least until we believe that someone or something is trying to restrict it in some way. But what we all tend to overlook is the real power that we have with free will. It’s not just that we can choose, but that we choose rightly. We can choose for either good or evil, for right or wrong. And the decisions we make in our free will have the power to affect not only ourselves, but others and creation itself. Consider the differences
•
between how Saint Francis lived and how Sadam Hussein lived. Saint Francis believed in showing respect to other people, even when they were “known” sinners. Sadam Hussein killed many thousands, including members of his own family, if he believed that they threatened his power. Saint Francis was known to step around worms in the road so that they wouldn’t be harmed. Sadam Hussein ordered the oil wells in Kuwait to be set on fire, which damaged the land around them. God took an awful chance when he decided to give us the gift of free will. It made us so much like him, and had so much potential to be wrongly used. He took the chance anyway. He will also see how we used this awesome gift during our lives when we come to him at death. If we used it rightly, in a consistently loving, godly way, God will honor that way and we will spend eternity with him. On the other hand, if we used it wrongly, in a consistently unloving, ungodly way, God will honor that way and we will suffer through eternity without him. Yes, God’s judgment really honors the judgment we make on ourselves in our use of free will. Which destination will you choose? God bless.

DEAR ABBY
Pepperoni bread is topped with cheese
Mom is caregiver and referee
DEAR ABBY: My husband is 99 percent bed-bound with primary progressive MS. My oldest son is bipolar (he’s off his meds and doing great), and my youngest son has Asperger’s. I know … wow. My husband refuses to even try to understand the boys. When they have behavior problems, he tells them if he could, he would backhand them. Great parenting, huh? But at the same time, the boys and I are expected to have our lives revolve around his disability and stop everything when he needs help. His MS is always top priority. I hate watching him go through his disease, but does that give him a free pass to bully our boys? I realize the boys (especially the younger one) have issues that are difficult to deal with, and I’m not giving them a free pass, either, but I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I support my sons, I’m a bad wife. If I support my husband, I’m a bad mom. And — not to sound selfish — who supports ME? I’m not really expecting any answers, but needed to vent, for lack of better terminology. I do have a support system of extended family and friends, but sometimes the lack of support inside the house makes me crazy. Any words of wisdom, Abby? — STRETCHED THIN IN COLORADO DEAR STRETCHED THIN: You have a right to vent. You’re carrying an enormous load on your shoulders right now. I wish you wouldn’t label yourself as a “bad” ANYTHING because you are just a mortal woman who is trying to cope. Your husband is understandably bitter and frustrated and sometimes takes it out on those closest to him — you and the boys. His MS IS top priority because he’s incapacitated and it HAS to be. Your boys need to understand the importance of not stressing out their father. I’m glad your older son is doing well off medication, IF that’s OK with his doctor. But it’s my understanding that people with a chemical imbalance need to stay on their meds to maintain their equilibrium. As to your younger son, people with Asperger’s may have problems with their social interactions, but they can be taught rules of acceptable behavior. Perhaps it’s time to work a little harder on that. As to your own needs, believe me, I sympathize. If you need to vent, it’s important for your sanity that you be able to do so. It’s wonderful that you have extended family and friends to support you, but if at all possible, find someone who can offer a respite from your caregiving responsibilities every few weeks.

This is the last week the children will be home all day. School doors open Tuesday, Sept. 3. Where have all these summer months gone? Verena, 15, finished her 8th grade year last term so she will be home now to help me. Susan, 17, would like to get a full time job but I would like to teach her how to put together a dress, shirt, pants, etc. It makes it so much easier for me when they can cut out and sew their own clothes and help with the boys’ shirts and pants. It takes time and patience to teach them but feels rewarding once you see they can sew together their own dresses. Elizabeth, 19, finished a pants for Timothy last night. She sewed herself a new dress and Timothy a shirt and pants that they plan to wear on Labor Day to the family gathering at brother Amos’s. I sewed myself a new dress suit and Joe a new shirt. I cut out Verena and Loretta each a new dress but still need to sew one. It makes it easy as they have the same pattern. I need to make Verena’s shorter than Loretta’s; at age 13, Loretta is a few inches taller than
Verena. My goal was to get new shirts sewed for the boys and a dress for Lovina by Labor Day weekend, but it doesn’t look like I’ll make it. Maybe for Graber THE the reunion in AMISH October. COOK It seems if you make a deadline Lovina Eicher for getting something done, it goes faster. I think it would have been possible to get everyone a new outfit sewed if it wasn’t that it’s also the middle of canning season. We had two bushels of peaches to work away on Tuesday and kept the best ones back for fresh eating. It’s good to have healthy snacks on hand for the children. I am glad most of our children like fresh peaches. I told the children once they add sugar to them they aren’t healthy anymore.

Our plans, Lord willing, are to start out for Hicksville, Ohio, on Sunday morning. We will attend the baptismal church services for Joe’s cousin, Stephen. From there we will head towards the Berne, Ind., area and stay out there until Monday. On Monday we will attend the family gathering at brother Amos and Nancy’s house. Hopefully, we won’t be home too late as the children will have school the next day. Monday is also son Kevin’s 8th birthday. He is excited about his upcoming birthday. How can our youngest be turning 8 and be going into second grade already? Time does not stand still. How nice it would be to still get excited about birthdays! We shouldn’t complain, though, if we have good health. My thoughts and prayers are with my friend Barb as she battles that dreadful disease, cancer. May God heal her and bless her with good health in the future. Barb’s visits are always a highlight as she brings M&Ms so that is when we get Monster Cookies. This is a different recipe

We are 70 years old with three adult children. We asked our oldest son to be executor and have given him power of attorney, as well. We have an issue with one of the others. She is very upset about him being chosen, plus she does not get along with the other two. Our son says he doesn’t want to do this, but will anyway. Would it be wise to have an attorney as executor? We would like to relieve the stress in our family over this issue and do not know which way to go. I can imagine that an attorney might say it’s OK, but is it prudent in your opinion? Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. — Alvin, via email DEAR ALVIN: The
direct answer is you could have anyone you choose be your executor. The fact that your daughter doesn’t get along with the other two siblings is lamentable, but that’s the way life is. If your oldest son doesn’t want to do it, don’t force him. On the other side of that, it would be a lot cheaper if he did because he won’t charge you. An attorney certainly will charge you to be the executor. I don’t think you are going to relieve the stress in your family very much. Maybe the other son would be executor, but I don’t see any reason to pay an attorney to try to avoid stress. It’s going to be there no matter what. Send your questions to: Smart Money, P.O.

been left unrefrigerated for too long to take chances. Dear Sara: What were the first few frugal things you tried? — L.K., Texas Dear L.K.: I focused a lot on meal planning and cooking. I stopped eating out as often (packing lunches and snacks and having at least a weekly menu for dinners) and cut sugary drinks and a lot of prepared foods from my diet.

Concussion management adapting to new research As fall sports are in full swing, the topic of concussions seems to be coming up more and more. In my world of emergency medicine, it is frequently not the question of whether there is a concussion. Rather, the question is, “When can I be released to play again?” The guidelines for releasing a patient back to contact sports have not just become a matter for health care professionals. The lawmakers in Indiana have stepped in with rules of their own that tend to limit the number of professionals who will be “qualified” to send a player back into the fray. This year, the American Academy of Neurology, which publishes in the journal Neurology, has produced new evidencebased guidelines on the evaluation and management of concussions. The new guidelines reviewed studies dating back to 1955. Each year, as many as 3.8 million people in the
U.S. suffer a sports-related concussion. Many of these individuals do not seek immediate medical attention. The first (and probably the most important) rule is that if concussion DR. TERRY is suspected, take the GAFF player out immediately. And if in doubt, the best advice is to sit it out. Concussion is defined as a biomechanically induced alteration of the brain function, typically affecting memory and orientation. It is a diagnosis based on symptoms. Contrary to popular opinion, blackout or loss of consciousness is not required to qualify as a concussion and it occurs in less than 10 percent of

Statistics show Americans spend less time behind the wheel WASHINGTON (AP) — Driving in America has stalled, leading researchers to ask: Is the national love affair with the automobile over? After rising for decades, total vehicle use in the U.S. — the collective miles people drive — peaked in August 2007. It then dropped sharply during the Great Recession and has largely plateaued since, even though the economy is recovering and the population growing. Just this week the Federal Highway Administration reported vehicle miles traveled during the first half of 2013 were down slightly, continuing the trend. Even more telling, the average miles drivers individually rack up peaked in July 2004 at just over 900 per month, said a study by Transportation Department economists Don Pickrell and David Pace. By July of last year, that had fallen to 820 miles per month, down about 9 percent. Per capita automobile use is now back at the same levels as in the late 1990s. Until the mid-1990s, driving levels largely tracked economic growth, according to Pickrell and Pace, who said their conclusions are their own and not the government’s. Since then, the economy has grown more rapidly than auto use. Gross domestic product declined for a while during the recession but reversed course in 2009. Auto use has yet to recover. Meanwhile, the share of people in their teens, 20s and 30s with driver’s licenses has been dropping significantly, suggesting that getting a driver’s license is no longer the teenage rite of passage it once was. Researchers are divided on the reasons behind the trends. One camp says the changes are almost entirely linked to the economy. In a few years, as the economy continues to recover, driving will probably bounce back, they reason. At the same time, they acknowledge there could be long-term structural changes in the economy that would prevent a return to the levels of driving growth seen in the past; it’s just too soon to know. The other camp acknowledges that economic factors are important but says the decline in driving also reflects fundamental changes in the way Americans view the automobile. For commuters stuck in traffic, getting into a car no longer correlates with fun. It’s also becoming more of a headache to own a car in central cities and downright difficult to park. “The idea that the car means freedom, I think, is over,” said travel behavior
analyst Nancy McGuckin. Gone are the days of the car culture as immortalized in songs like “Hot Rod Lincoln,” ”Little Deuce Coupe” and “Pink Cadillac.” “The car as a fetish of masculinity is probably over for certain age groups,” McGuckin said. “I don’t think young men care as much about the car they drive as they use to.” That’s partly because cars have morphed into computers on wheels that few people dare tinker with, she said. “You can’t open the hood and get to know it the way you used to,” she said. Lifestyles are also changing. People are doing more of their shopping online. More people are taking public transit than ever before. And biking and walking to work and for recreation are on the rise. Social networking online may also be substituting for some trips. A study by University of Michigan transportation researcher Michael Sivak found that the decline in teens and young adults with driver’s licenses in the U.S. was mirrored in other wealthy countries with a high proportion of Internet users. Demographic changes are also a factor. The peak driving years for most people are between ages 45 and 55 when they are at the height of their careers and have more money to spend, said transportation analyst Alan Pisarski, author of “Commuting in America.” Now, the last of the baby boomers — the giant cohort born between 1946 and 1964 — are moving out of their peak driving years. “They are still the dominant players, and they are moving toward a quieter transportation lifestyle,” he said. There’s also a driving gender gap. In a role reversal, there are now more women than men in the U.S. with driver’s licenses. And the declines in miles driven over the past decade were more widespread among men than women, according to Pickrell and Pace. Driving by men has declined in every age group except those 65 or older, where it increased slightly. Among women, driving declined only among young adults and teenagers. There are several economic factors that help explain the trends. Driving declines exactly mirror job losses among men during the recession, when male-dominated industries like manufacturing and construction were especially hard hit, researchers said. But average automobile use has declined recently even among those who have remained employed.
cases. The first 10 days after concussion are especially critical, which is also the time in which athletes are at a greater risk of having another concussion. The guidelines do not endorse the so-called “second-impact syndrome” in which a second concussion could cause cerebral edema and death. They found evidence lacking. They do, however, explain that athletes recovering from a concussion have both a slower reaction time and a slower thought-processing time, which may leave them more vulnerable to another unexpected hit. These new guidelines also emphasize individual management. The concussion severity is no longer classified at the time of the event, and there is no general safe timeline for return to play. The timing of return to play depends on the individual, the symptoms, and how quickly those

symptoms resolve. Athletes should not return to play until all symptoms have resolved and until cleared by a health care professional trained in concussion diagnosis and management. Younger people generally take longer to recover than those in college. Another new study suggests that children with concussions may experience emotional and behavioral problems that can last for months. A symptom checklist
can help diagnose concussion, but it cannot be used alone. Concussion signs and symptoms include headache and sensitivity to light and sound, as well as changes in reaction time, balance, coordination, memory, judgment, speech and sleep. If an athlete says he feels foggy, that is not a good sign. It could mean that a longer recovery time is needed. The sports with the greatest concussion risk for boys are football and

Mom of ‘rainbow’ son comes out NEW YORK (AP) — For Lori Duron, parenting her younger son C.J. is etched in time as B.B. and A.B. — before Barbie and after Barbie. The 6½-year-old discovered the doll at the back of his mother’s closet about four years ago, and she’s barely left his clutches since. In a new book “Raising My Rainbow,” the Orange County, Calif., mom describes C.J. as — in a word — fabulous as he lives life largely in pink, playing with girl toys, dressing in girl clothes and worshipping the Disney princesses. If you want more words, there’s “gender nonconforming, gender creative, gender fluid, gender independent, gender variant, has gender identity disorder, or whatever you prefer to call it.” A world of nagging fear and anxiety about raising a boy who wants to be treated like a girl prompted Duron to begin an anonymous blog, RaisingMyRainbow.com, documenting their family’s adventures. More than a million readers later, the book from Broadway Books is her humorous coming out. A conversation with Lori Duron: AP: How’s C.J. doing now? DURON: He’s getting ready to start first grade, so he’s great. He’s fun. He’s a great kid. He’s healthy and happy. C.J. could be transgender. We’ve always been open to that possibility, but right now he’s entering first grade as a boy and he likes being a boy. He’s already picked out his rainbow-colored, leopardprint backpack and his pink lunch box. AP: You’ve tapped into a burgeoning parenting “movement,” of sorts, meaning those parents who

because some kids are in hiding, and sometimes their parents don’t allow them to be gender creative out in public or even in the house. I’ve made amazing friends who are raising kind of this next generation of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning) youth and we do consider ourselves to be in that community. We may not always be. There’s still the possibility that C.J. could identify as straight.

AP: You’re not a fan of Dr. Phil. Have you ever met him? DURON: I’ve never met him, no. He said some things that are hurtful, that could be really hurtful to kids like C.J. if parents took his advice to heart. He said if your son is playing with girl toys redirect him toward boy toys. Redirect those feminine behaviors, to limit play things to those in line with their gender. I just think that’s so dangerous. AP: You grew up with a gay brother and brought that experience to the table when C.J.’s preferences for “girl stuff” surfaced. DURON: I definitely saw my parents make some mistakes. It was a different time and a different place. We lived in a not-so-great area of Los Angeles and we grew up in the ’70s and the ’80s into the ’90s. We come from a very religious home, where homosexuality was considered a sin. I watched my brother struggle and I watched my parents and I promised that I wouldn’t make those same mistakes with my kids should they be LGBTQ. We wouldn’t call C.J. a sissy. My brother was called a sissy at home. My brother was encouraged to “man up.” We don’t try to get C.J. to man up. My brother was not always given the toys that he wanted for Christmas and birthdays. My brother grew up feeling shame and some of it was in direct relation to actions of my parents and some of it was self-inflicted because he knew he should have been doing boy stuff. I know what it can do to someone from a home that isn’t totally supportive.

Never fear: Promising movies still slated for 2013 BY JENNY KOBIELA-MONDOR
About this time every year, I get a little sad. When September rolls around, summer movie season is officially over. But despite the fact that the theaters aren’t showing blockbuster after blockbuster anymore, there is still a lot to look forward to before the curtain falls on the year 2013. And so, I’ve chosen 10 of the best bets for your movie needs during the next four months.

War II, steals books and shares them with others. Not only does this movie take place during a time in history that interests me, but it also centers around something else I love — books. I haven’t read the novel it’s based on yet — don’t worry, I will! — but the previews make it look thrilling, sweet and touching. Although I’d be surprised if the movie was as good as the book it’s based on — movies never are — I do think it lookslike an excellent film. “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire� (Nov. 22): I am a huge fan of the “Hunger Games� series of books, and the second novel in the trilogy just may be my favorite. The books follow Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the winners of the Hunger Games, a fight to the death between pre-teens and teens forced by their oppressive government.In this movie, Katniss and Peeta must deal with the fact that they’ve become the unwilling sparks to ignite a revolution, and the effect that has not only on them, but on their family and friends as well. The book features several new characters who quickly became my favorites in the whole series, so I’m excited to see them, and their stories, on the big screen. “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug� (Dec. 13): I almost didn’t include this movie on my list of movies I’m excited to see yet this year, but despite the fact that last winter’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey� was a bit uneven, I’m still pretty excited about another foray into J.R.R. Tolkein’s Middle Earth. “The Desolation of Smaug� follows the continuing adventures of hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellan) and a party of dwarfs as they try to get the
dwarfs’ gold from the famed and feared dragon Smaug (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch). Considering how much I’ve enjoyed the bulk of director Peter Jackson’s movies as well as “The Hobbit� novel, I’m going to give this one the benefit of the doubt. “Saving Mr. Banks� (Dec. 20): One of my favorite movies from my childhood is “Mary Poppins,� so I’m intrigued by “Saving Mr. Banks,� a movie chronicling what the great Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) did to get the rights from author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) to make the movie. As a movie lover, a Disney fan and a writer, I’m excited to see how so many different factors came together to make such a beloved, classic movie. In the hands of any other actor, I would be worried about somebody portraying Walt Disney well, but if anybody can do it, it’s Tom Hanks. This movie ought to be a nostalgic treat. “American Hustle� (Dec. 25): A crop of great actors — Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro and Jeremy Renner — star in this movie about a con man who works with the FBI, loosely based on the ABSCAM operation of the 1970s and 80s. Director David O. Russell has found a lot of success with great movies including “The Fighter� and “Silver Linings Playbook,� and I expect that this movie will be good as well.

The Day of New London reports hat seaport officials said job candidates must be experienced mariners and also be comfortable with the public because of the media attention and crowds the ship will attract during its three-month trip. “They have to be absolutely qualified to manage this artifact, which has national and international importance,” said Dana Hewson, the museum’s vice president for Watercraft Preservation and Programs. “They also have to embrace the role of the public nature of this endeavor.”

Plenty of free things to do in this 150-year-old Idaho city BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise has long been dubbed the “City of Trees,” a nickname that always catches newcomers by surprise given the city’s high-desert climate and summers with little or no rain. But a hike into the foothills or a short drive up the road to the local ski hill makes it abundantly clear why the moniker fits, as a lush, green canopy stretches from downtown west across the valley floor. Celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, this former military outpost along the Oregon Trail has consistently ranked among the nation’s fastest growing cities for the last decade. The reasons are varied, but this city of more than 200,000 residents offers a moderate climate, ample access to recreation, rich and diverse cultural and culinary opportunities and the Boise River, which flows through downtown and attracts wildlife, urban anglers and other recreational water-lovers. Idaho’s capital city
— pronounced BOY-see by the locals — and the surrounding region also provide plenty of things to do at no cost. Here are five free things to do in Boise:
Hike or bike in the foothills Boise is snuggled up along a line of foothills that stretch north and east and serve as stepping stones into national forest and the bigger, Boise Mountain Range. The foothills are also a playground for hikers, runners, mountain bikers and bird-watchers. The city manages a network of more than 130 miles (210 kilometers) of trails and numerous access points, some just minutes from downtown. Even a short, moderate hike along any of the trails provides enough elevation to overlook the city, the valley and the Owyhee Mountains across the valley floor. There is also the Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center, a great resource for information about the high-desert environment and the plants,

This 2010 photo provided by Boise Parks & Recreation shows bikers on the Polecat Loop in the Ridge to Rivers trail system in Boise, Idaho. The foothills are also a playground for hikers, runners, mountain bikers and bird-watchers.
Like the foothills, the Greenbelt is a recreational gem for residents and visitors alike. The 25-mile (40-kilometer) trail, featuring tree-lined paths on both sides of the Boise River, runs through the heart of the city and beyond. It’s user-friendly for bike commuters heading to the office downtown, walkers, joggers and a conduit for getting to the Boise State University campus, downtown shops and restaurants and the numerous parks that line the river and trail system. A handful of hotels in the area also provide free bikes to guests looking to pedal around town.
Snake River wine country There are a handful of wineries in Boise proper, but for the real adventure and scenic splendor, take a drive southwest of town into the Snake River Valley’s wine region, officially designated as an American Viticultural Area. The region’s soils and varied microclimates have given birth in the last decade to vineyards and a collection of wine makers growing in prominence in the Northwest. Several of the more than two dozen vineyards offer free tastings; others charge a $5 fee that can be used toward the purchase of a bottle of red or white. Bring a picnic basket and sit back and watch the sun set along the Owyhee Mountains.
about the heritage. As early the late 1800s, Basques began settling in southwestern Idaho, many lured here to work as sheepherders. The Basque Block includes a museum, a market, restaurants, street art and historical signage.
This former military outpost along the Oregon Trail has ranked among the nation’s fastest growing cities for the last decade.
• Capitol city market Sure you have to pay for the locally grown fruit, vegetables, grass-fed beef or the various arts and crafts for sale, but the sights, smells, sounds and people-watching are free at Boise’s version of the classic farmer’s market. In three separate spots downtown, vendors set up shop on blocked-off city streets or plazas each Saturday morning from April through December. And more than any other time, it’s when the city’s downtown hums as foodies search out the latest in fresh produce or pack the coffee shops or restaurants
with outdoor patios serving brunch.
The Basque Block Boise is home to one of the nation’s biggest concentrations of Basques outside the Basque region in Spain. The city’s Basque Block downtown is the best place for learning more about the heritage. As early the late 1800s, Basques began settling in southwestern Idaho, many lured here to work as sheepherders. The Basque Block includes a museum, a market, restaurants, street art and historical signage that track the Basque influence and history in and beyond Boise.

They need to be able to eat it in 20 minutes or less. They need to be able to open and close all of the containers themselves. And it can’t go bad before they eat it. What are we talking about? The lunch your kids take to school each day. What you put in your child’s lunchbox might matter more than you realize. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found a significant amount of sodium in the foods toddlers commonly eat. It’s feared that similar levels of sodium are also found in a number of the foods older kids eat at school every day. As concerns rise about the early onset of high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease, parents may want to re-examine those lunchbox choices. Why does sodium matter? A 2012 study of children and adolescents found that higher sodium consumption was associated with increased blood pressure. This effect was even greater in overweight and obese participants compared to normal weight participants. In addition, research suggests that children’s taste for salt develops as they are exposed to it. The less sodium children consume, the less they want it. Children’s taste for salt may be reduced if they are exposed to lower sodium diets at a young age. Eating less sodium can help lower blood pressure during childhood, which can help lower the risk of high blood pressure as an adult. What’s a parent to do? Here are some tips to help tackle high sodium in your child’s lunchbox: • Read food labels and compare the sodium amount in different products, then choose the options with the lowest amounts of sodium. Some varieties of bread can vary from 80 to 230 mg of sodium per slice. That can make a big difference in lunchtime sandwiches; • Pack fresh fruits and vegetables with lunch every day, like a small bag of baby carrots, snow peas, or grape tomatoes; • For a healthy snack, make trail mix using unsalted nuts, dried fruits and whole grain cereal; • When buying prepared meals, look for those with less than 600mg of sodium per serving; By packing a lower sodium school lunch for your children, you are not only setting them up for success in the classroom, but also in life. With your help, your children can develop healthy, low sodium eating habits that will last throughout their lives and help improve their heart health. For additional information about children and sodium and more tips for parents to help lower their family’s sodium intake, visit cdc.gov/salt.

Q. I’m thinking about adding a bedroom and bathroom addition onto my home. What are the right questions to ask a building contractor? Joe of Auburn A. Thank you, Joe, for the question that more homeowners should ask. For most homeowners, their homes are their No. 1 investment. The top three questions asked, according to the National Association of Remodeling Industries are: When can you start the project, when will it be completed and what’s it going to cost? These are the wrong questions to ask the first time you meet a builder. Other questions often asked first are what time will the crew start in the morning and when do they quit for the day? Can you finish before the next holiday or family get together or how much will it cost per square foot? These are also questions that have to wait until you have prequalified a contractor. The important questions that should first be asked are about business practices and experience in projects similar to what you are planning. According to NARI the first questions should be: How long have you been in business, who will be assigned as project supervisor and who will be working the project? You don’t want to talk to a contractor to find out they sub the SQUARE project to a group that you have CORNERS never met and see the contractor you were dealing with rarely on your site. Jeff Deahl Another very important question is do they carry workman’s compensation. Most contractors carry liability insurance because it is required by simple county registration requirements, but workman’s compensation is what covers anyone working that job in the case of injury. Verify that they do. See a copy of their certificate. If they waffle or say they don’t have a copy or mislead you, move on to another contractor. As a contractor I know, that certificate is readily available to anyone who has one and the state of Indiana allows so-called self-employed one-man contractors to file an exemption out of work comp requirements. If you hire an independent one-man contractor everyone else on that job is questionable as to whether they are covered. A contractor without work comp makes about a 10 percent difference in cost. Other important questions include what is your approach to my project, how many similar projects have you completed in the last year, may I have a list of past customers, may I have a list of regular suppliers and how much of your business is referral? Have any of you or your employees been certified as a remodeler or kitchen and bath specialist, certified green professional or aging in place specialist? Another big question is what industry associations do you not only belong to but participate in, not just chamber of commerce or BBB, but industry associations. These groups focus on continuing education, code changes, industry regulations, new lead paint rules and other very important changes that occur constantly. They are generally more informed about the latest products and have done some research before using it on your home. The right first questions and decision on a qualified builder will serve the best value to your construction or remodeling investment. The other questions about starting and completion dates will follow with confidence.

Age does not guarantee an object is valuable I share advice about art, antiques, and the appraisal of personal property in this column and at my public events hosted worldwide. Here are a few questions from the field. What is the best way to find that valuable antique? When I’m shopping in an antique store, at a yard sale or cleaning out my attic, are the oldest pieces the most valuable? Just because something is old doesn’t mean it is automatically valuable. I have junk, you have junk, my grandmother had junk … sometimes it is just older junk! Age is not an automatic value indicator. I’m researching online and I can’t find the markings that are on the bottom of my ceramic vase. The numbers show the date “1910.” Is that the date that the piece was made? Don’t waste money buying all those books which list pottery
marks. If you have a ceramic or piece of pottery with a number on it that resembles a date, that number is usually not a date. Often, that four digit number is a model, inventory, or mold number identifying the form of your piece to the ART & manufacturer or ANTIQUES mold maker.

it — just yet! Try to maintain the original finish of an antique wooden piece of furniture as it impacts value. Before you make a decision to trash it or to restore it, get an appraisal of the value of the piece. You want to know if it is worth investing money in restoring the piece. Be sure to keep your antiques away from sunlight, active pets, water and aspiring young artists! I want to sell my unwanted stuff online, but I’ve never sold anything online before. How can I avoid getting ripped off? Don’t publicize the physical address where the antique object that you are selling is located. Don’t connect your work address or home address to your online selling information. Buy a post office box and do all the correspondence from that address. I hear the stories from people at my antiques appraisal shows where thieves target homes from an address posted online.
My mother-in-law wants to give me her wedding china, but I don’t like it. Do you think I should keep it? Do you think it has any value? First, is it going to kill you to accept the china set to help keep family peace? Don’t simply ignore an item’s value just because you don’t like it. Across the nation at my antique appraisal shows, I advise my audiences to set taste aside … Ugly is your first clue to value! Get it appraised and then make a decision about it. DR.

BANI Standard of the Week • Too often, undefined expectations create problems between builders and customers before, during and after their building and remodeling projects. Addressing some of the most prevalent issues, a set of Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of their projects against an industry-approved set of standards. These standards help eliminate problems before the project even begins.
In reviewing this section, it is necessary to establish standards for the proper use of the electrical system. In order for the electrical system to perform properly, it is important that it be used in the manner for which it was designed and for it to be installed by a licensed electrical contractor. For this reason, recognized electrical
codes have established that ground fault current interrupters of GFCI protection are required at all sink areas (kitchen, wet bar, bathroom vanities), garages, unfinished basements and exterior outlets at ground level. Appliances using large amounts of current, such as freezers and refrigerators should not be connected to

This tripping should not be viewed as a nuisance, but a warning that the circuit is overloaded. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the circuits are not overloaded. If a service call to repair an electrical problem reveals that the problem is due to overloading by the owner, the owner should pay for the service charge and any

Old meets new in glass designs for home THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When silica, soda and lime meet high heat, a beautiful alchemy occurs. The result — a taffy-like substance otherwise known as glass — has inspired creative minds for centuries. Artists and craftsmen today often combine old-school techniques with new technology to create one-of-a-kind works of arts for the home. Internationally known sculptor Dale Chihuly, based in Tacoma, Wash., has drawn crowds to a variety of public spaces with his outdoor “glass garden” installations of imaginative, other-worldly creations.

Multitasking homeowners demand more of their space THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Washing clothes in the bedroom. Sending email from the laundry room. Busy Americans are demanding more from each room in the house, and spaces designed for multiple functions are popping up all over floor plans, design blogs and magazine spreads. “People multitask all the time. There is a definite correlation and carry-over in the home,” said Wendy Danziger, owner of Danziger Design in Bethesda, Md. She has helped clients create rooms for eating and watching television; housing guests and working from home; sleeping and doing laundry. Some homebuilders have added space for seating, desks and charging stations in the laundry room. “It’s happening all over,” Danziger said. “There’s a lot of strategy that goes on — a lot of compromise.” Furniture manufacturers, too, are helping to make every square inch count, said Pat Bowling, spokeswoman for the American Home Furnishings Alliance in High Point, N.C. Modern pieces include end tables that double as file cabinets, coffee tables with adjustable heights to accommodate working at a computer or eating, and chests with docking stations for electronics. The portability of laptops, tablets and other devices means you don’t need a dedicated home office to work at home. People can — and do — use electronics in the family room, bedroom and kitchen. “Today’s furniture is multi-tasking furniture that

Interior designer Wendy Danziger provided a sleep sofa, built-ins with storage and table to help overnight guests settle in. She also used a pocket door to save space and provide privacy.
can help you stay organized, stay connected and keep clutter at bay,” said Kim Shaver of Hooker Furniture in Martinsville, Va. “In versatile styles and silhouettes, these pieces fit any room — from the kitchen to the bedroom and from the family room to the entry hall or foyer — and provide multiple functions in each room.” Danziger says a console table with hinged leaves is a good option for a TV room
that sometimes needs to become a dining room: When guests come for dinner, just slide the table away from the wall under the television and extend the leaves to create a table that seats up to six people. Nesting tables — stacking tables of different sizes — also help increase the functionality of a space, she said. She often puts them on wheels so they can easily be rolled to another area of the room for another use.
She has worked with retirees downsizing to a smaller home and with young professionals squeezed into urban apartments. “Once home offices were the rage,” she said. Now, “it is not unusual to see living spaces where people eat, sleep, work and play games just for the sake of living in a city where one can walk to everything, including their office.” Frank Pitman of Frank Pitman Designs in Orange County, Calif., also has seen the trend. “There’s a lot of dual -purpose space happening,” he said. He has had a growing number of clients putting laundry facilities in their bedroom closets.
