Obama seeks OK from Congress

GOOD MORNING Motorcycle sells for $580,000 at auction AUBURN — A century-old motorcycle sold for $580,000 at the Worldwide Auctioneers sale Saturday night. A bidder whose name was not disclosed bought the 1910 Winchester motorcycle made by the well known firearms company. A similar 1909 Winchester failed to sell for a high bid of $520,000. Auction company co-owner John Kruse said his company was trying to make a package dealer with the buyer of the 1910 bike. “We’re trying to sell them both, so they’ll end up together,” Kruse said after the auction. For the second year in a row, the sale took place in the National Auto & Truck Museum. The museum sold an experimental 1967 Cadillac Eldorado from its collection for $22,ooo. Richard Rawlings, star of television’s “Fast ’N’ Loud,” was a runner-up bidder on the museum’s car. He sold an unrestored 1919 Nash for $11,000. Other top sales were a 1933 Auburn V-12 for $250,000, a 1947 Rolls-Royce for $240,000 and a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible for $195,000.

Vigo County Coroner Susan Amos tells The Tribune-Star an autopsy is scheduled for Monday, and preliminary results may be available the same day. The high in Terre Haute was 95 degrees Friday.

Festival parade ties families BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — For the Folcks and the Eddys, driving in the Parade of Classics at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival has become a family tradition. The Folcks, with their roots in Steuben County, squeezed into a pair of Cord Phaetons that have been in their family 40 years for Saturday’s ride through the streets of Auburn. A grandson drove the Eddys’ 1934 Auburn on the parade route, taking time off from duties at his grandparents’ Auburn Hotel. “For us, it’s poignant,” said Jeff Folcks, who now lives in southern California. “We grew up with cars.

History Channel series to feature classic car festival BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — This weekend’s Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival will be featured on The History Channel next spring, using scenes recorded Saturday, a producer said. The new “Magnificent Motorcars” series will devote one 30-minute episode to cars built by the former Auburn

Automobile Co. and the festival and museum that honor them. Greene HD Productions of Texas interviewed classic car owners Saturday in Auburn and will return Tuesday and Wednesday to shoot scenes in the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Delaying what had loomed as an imminent strike, President Barack Obama abruptly announced Saturday he will seek congressional approval before launching any military action meant to punish Syria for its alleged use of chemical weapons in an attack that killed hundreds. With Navy ships on standby in the Mediterranean Sea ready to launch their cruise missiles, Obama said he had decided the United States should take military action and that he believes that as commander in chief, he has “the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization.” At the same time, he said, “I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course and our actions will be even more effective.” His remarks were televised live in the United States as well as on Syrian state television with translation. Congress is scheduled to return from a summer vacation on Sept. 9, and in anticipation of the coming debate, Obama challenged lawmakers to consider “what message will we sent if a dictator can gas hundreds of children to death in plain sight and pay no price.” SEE SYRIA, PAGE A8

In the line of duty Response that injured Steuben deputy wasn’t out of the norm BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com

ONLINE CALENDAR

$1.25

The frightening thing is, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. A Steuben County Sheriff’s Department deputy was injured late in the evening on Aug. 24 in southern Steuben County while responding to an emergency call just over the line into DeKalb County. Reserve Deputy Adam Meeks, 34, of Fremont, sustained head, ankle and wrist injuries in the crash on S.R. 327 , just north of Steuben C.R. 400S, while he was traveling south to assist DeKalb County police with an incident at about 11:40 p.m. “This is what we do,” Steuben County Sheriff Tim Troyer said. “These are the kind of calls we respond to all the time.” Deputies and the Indiana State Police were responding to the Story Lake area after a 911 call reported a man with a gun threatening to shoot people at a large gathering, Troyer said. When Meeks, in his patrol car, crested a hill and encountered another southbound vehicle entering the road, the deputy tried to avoid a collision with the passenger vehicle. Meeks went partially off of the east side of the road and began to lose control. The deputy then drove back across S.R. 327 and off the west side of the road, striking a tree.

“That’s the stuff that keeps me awake at night. They work for me and I feel responsible for them.” CHAD KLINE

Don Lauer DeKalb County Sheriff

• Meeks was pinned in his car for more than an hour, requiring extrication by responding fire rescue crews. Once extricated, the deputy was flown from the crash site to Parkview Trauma Center in Fort Wayne by Samaritan Helicopter. The Indiana State Police is investigating the crash and had not issued a report as of Friday morning. Meeks’ condition improved through the week, and by Saturday afternoon he had been released from the hospital and is now recuperating at home, according to Troyer. It’s the kind of incident that weighs on even veteran police supervisors.

A Noble County Sheriff’s Department cruiser operates with lights flashing. Responders face risks every day when responding to emergency calls.

“It becomes very personal,” Troyer said. “These are real people with real lives and families.” In fact, the deputies in a relatively small department like his become a family themselves. “There are some parallels,” Troyer said. “You deeply care about these individuals.” Having someone in their charge face serious injury is every police supervisor’s nightmare. “That’s the stuff that keeps me awake at night,” DeKalb County Sheriff Don Lauer said. “They work for me, and I feel responsible for them.” Noble County Sheriff Doug Harp used to command his county’s SWAT team. Part of his job was to say which member of the team would head through a door first into a dangerous situation. “That was always a tremendous responsibility to me,” Harp said. An incident like Meeks’ crash affects every member of a department.

“The point of your vulnerability is driven home,” Troyer said. “This can happen to us. This is real.”

A routine call The incident that set Saturday’s events in motion turned out to be not a big deal — at least in the grand scheme of things, police said. A man allegedly assaulted another man. A third person tried to intervene. The fight moved from one area at a Story Lake mobile home park to another. The first 911 call said a large number of people were fighting. At 11:40 p.m., it’s not hard to imagine the incident as being mistaken for something it wasn’t, police said. According to Lauer, the first call came to his county’s dispatch center at 11:29 p.m. describing a fight involving multiple people, SEE DEPUTY, PAGE A8

Purdue works to ease transition for veterans WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — First-year college student Dustin Weisner, 24, listened intently to Will McGee, a 31-year-old PhD candidate, on a recent Thursday afternoon as the Marine veterans sat inside Purdue University’s new Veterans Success Center. McGee was reliving his 2004 deployment to Iraq to Weisner. On McGee’s mind was the moment he decided to pursue a college degree. “I was teaching guys training strategy, tactical things. But still, I was teaching them,” said McGee, who is pursuing a PhD in analytical chemistry. “That was kind of my intellectual awakening. While I was overseas, I decided I needed to come back to college. I made a promise to myself that I wasn’t going to fail out.” Weisner has been on campus for less than two weeks. He has an 18-yearold roommate, is eating dorm food and trying to make it to his classes on time. Their common link has brought them together under a new mentor program aimed at helping Purdue’s veterans adjust to campus life. McGee is Weisner’s mentor. “The way we talk to each other is different than the

way we’d talk to someone who hasn’t been in the military,” Weisner told the Journal & Courier. “We speak a completely different language.” As a result of the military drawdown in Afghanistan and the end of the Iraq War, colleges, including Purdue, are ramping up their services to support the rising numbers of student veterans who have joined the ranks since 2009. That was the year that a new set of federal education benefits — the Post 9/11 GI Bill — went into effect to help the latest generation of military veterans pay for college. “I think we have a lot of eager students that know that they’ve earned a benefit and know they want to take advantage of that benefit,” said Jamie Richards, Purdue’s coordinator of military veteran and nontraditional student programs. The number of veterans who receive education benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs jumped 40 percent in 2010 because of the bill. In 2012, nearly 950,000 veterans used a variety of GI benefits. Richards said he expects an upward trend to continue as officials continue to curtail overseas combat in

the Middle East. President Barack Obama has said he expects military involvement in Afghanistan to come to a close by the summer of next year, which would bring home most of the nearly 63,000 forces still deployed there. After a period of sharp growth at Purdue from 2008 to 2011, the number of those identified as veterans or receiving veteran benefits at the West Lafayette campus has leveled out. Richards attributes the spike to the rollout of the bill, which pays for 36 months of education benefits for veterans or their dependents, along with a monthly housing allowance and stipend for books and supplies. Purdue’s final fall enrollment numbers are not yet finalized. Richards expects this semester’s veterans figure to be close to last year’s level. In fall 2012, more than 500 students who identified themselves as military veterans on their application or who received state or federal benefits were enrolled. Nearly 90 percent of them were pursuing an undergraduate degree. Purdue is bolstering its efforts to support the student veterans growing population.

Bloomington cat pens a book BLOOMINGTON (AP) — A Bloomington cat that has become an Internet sensation is branching out with a new book. The cat known as Lil Bub will star in a book in

Lil Bub was born with dwarfism and other genetic defects that affect her appearance. Bridavsky tells The Herald-Times people have embraced her differences as her popularity has exploded.

Major Rebuild Indy contracts key donors to Ballard Students sue schools district over service dog rules INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard takes pride in the results of Rebuild Indy, the city’s nearly $400 million infrastructure program that repaved 858 lane-miles of streets, fixed 53 bridges, and created 58 miles of bike lanes over the past three years. “The scale in what we’re doing is off the charts,” he said. Rebuild Indy instantly doubled the volume of public works projects, and for engineering and construction firms, it became the largest business opportunity with the city in more than a decade. The city had $372.7 million to spend on capital projects after selling its water and sewer utilities to Citizens Energy Group in 2010, and all but $20 million is spoken for, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported.

More than two dozen engineers and other consultants landed contracts worth $1 million-plus, according to records provided by the Department of Public Works. The city has spent $121 million on street resurfacing alone. Ballard also secured a deep well of campaign cash. Major Rebuild Indy contractors — most of them engineers — poured at least $221,000 into his 2011 re-election bid, accounting for 10 percent of the $2.2 million he raised that year, IBJ found. Last year, Rebuild Indy contractors accounted for at least 32 percent of the $499,275 Ballard raised. Engineers commonly appear on candidates’ donor rolls, giving to both sides. They tend to give more heavily to incumbents, but their ranks are remarkably

thick in Ballard’s camp. “Once somebody gets to 20 percent of their contributions coming out of a particular area, you might want to pay attention to that,” said Andy Downs, director of the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University-Purdue University in Fort Wayne. Donations mean access to officials, which gives engineers and other professionals a chance to influence the criteria for hiring, Downs said. Unlike at the federal level, Indiana places no limits on individual contributions. Construction firms also give to campaigns, but the incentive isn’t as great because they win jobs based on low bids, rather than qualifications. The single-largest contract under Rebuild Indy — worth

$16.5 million — went to American Structurepoint, one of the area’s top two engineering firms. American Structurepoint was hired as program manager, essentially an arm of the Department of Public Works. American Structurepoint couldn’t be clearer in its support of Ballard. The firm’s political action committee and top executives contributed $37,000 to the mayor’s re-election in 2011, and CEO Willis Rick Conner gave another $13,000 last year. The firm’s PAC also gave to Ballard’s challenger, Democrat Melina Kennedy, in 2011, but to a lesser extent: $17,000. Ballard, who did not respond to a request to discuss ties between Rebuild Indy and his campaign, hasn’t stated whether he plans to seek a third term in 2015.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two disabled high school students have sued the Evansville-Vanderburgh school district over policies that they say restrict the use of service dogs they require to attend class. The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the federal lawsuit Thursday in Evansville, asking for a preliminary injunction to force the school to admit the service dogs. Barring the animals violates the Americans With Disabilities Act, according to the complaint filed by ACLU attorney Gavin Rose. According to the complaint, the school district announced on the first day

of this school year that a new policy required disabled students to carry $100,000 liability insurance on their service animal and provide detailed information about their disabilities and why the animal is needed and how it is trained, and whether it is spayed or neutered. The school district gave the students only 10 business days in which to file the required paperwork. One of the plaintiffs is a 16-year-old sophomore with severe diabetes whose dog is trained to alert her in cases of dangerous drops in blood sugar that can lead to serious injury or death, the ACLU said, but she has had to attend school with the service dog.

Greenfield Mills, the oldest water-powered mill in Indiana, is getting a second chance after customers flooded the mill with pleas to raise raise prices if that’s what it takes to keep the mill open. Greenfield Mills produces New Rinkle flours and pancake mixes.

Greenfield Mills will stay in business GREENFIELD MILLS — Greenfield Mills, a historic LaGrange County business, will stay open and already has resumed production, just two weeks after its owner announced he intended to shut down the 160-year-old business. David Rinkle, owner of Greenfield Mills and its line of New Rinkle flours and pancake mix, apparently never really knew just how much his customers appreciated his products. He said he was overwhelmed by people begging him to stay in operation. “I was really, really surprised,” Rinkle said with a smile Monday. Customers flooded his mill’s store after he announced the planned shutdown. They bought practically everything that was on the store’s shelves, all the while pleading with Rinkle to not close Greenfield Mills.

Company investing, expanding in Hudson HUDSON — Cold Heading Co. plans to put more than $5 million into expanding its Hudson plant. Tuesday night, the Hudson Town Council granted a 10-year tax abatement for real estate and equipment upgrades. The company plans to invest $950,000 in a 20,000-square-foot building expansion and put $4.2 million in new machinery and equipment to be installed in the coming months. According to company officials, the expansion will result in five new jobs added to the existing 49 employees currently at the Hudson facility. “We’re happy to work with the Cold Heading Company by offering tax abatement. They are a valued employer and Hudson wants the company to be competitive and profitable,” said Kathy Kope, president of Hudson Town Council.

Village Post Office opens in LaOtto LAOTTO — LaOtto now has both a post office and another business providing some post office services. LaOtto Marathon’s convenience store, part of All-American Stores, became the 51st Village Post Office in what the U.S. Postal Service calls its Greater Indiana Area Tuesday morning. But the regular post office remains open for business. “It’s going to remain open. This is just an enhancement,” said Lisa Curlin, the New Haven postmaster, who oversees Village Post Offices in northeast Indiana. The Village Post Office will have limited services, Curlin said. It will sell stamps and Priority Mail flat rate mailers, and it has a mailbox outside for dropping off ready-to-go items.

Museum opens center for maintaining cars AUBURN — The new Collection Conservation Center made its debut Sunday at part of the annual Garage Tour. The building on the south side of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum will serve as a maintenance shop for the museum’s vehicles. The center’s tan brick exterior complements the 1930 museum. Its shiny interior provides three garage bays, two of which are equipped with lifts capable of holding 12,000 pounds. A fourth car can be serviced in the center’s clean room. The new structure provides a home for the museum’s Pit Crew — nine volunteers who work on the museum’s vehicles each Monday.

Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint was scheduled to rally conservatives against it Monday night, while the liberal Americans for United Change organized a Statehouse news conference to seek support for the law earlier in the day. The debate began when President Barack Obama’s health care law was first crafted in 2009 and has continued through its implementation.

Indiana Tech President Arthur Snyder doesn’t put much stock in a recent Forbes magazine report assessing the financial health of private, nonprofit four-year institutions, even though his school was given one the highest rankings and grades in northeast Indiana. “Some institutions just operate closer to the bone, if you will,” said Snyder, whose university was given a “B+”. “I value all of these other institutions (in northeast Indiana). I don’t think any one of them is in any kind of financial straits.” Trine University President Earl Brooks II, whose institution received a “D” and, rankings-wise, was the lowest rated in northeast Indiana, was even firmer: He called the rankings inaccurate. “There’s no way that they can be accurate,” he said. “We’re probably as sound of an institution as we ever have been financially.” What is concerning, though, is the impression such rankings may leave on families and prospective students pondering college choices, the two educational leaders said. The Forbes rankings looked at the financial health of more than 900 private colleges and universities nationally. The publication’s measurements were based on such things as: endowment assets per full-time equivalent students; expendable assets relative to annual expenses and debt load; core operating margins; and tuition as a percentage of core revenue. At the top of the list of schools receiving “A’s” was Princeton. The highest-ranked institution in Indiana was Notre Dame at No. 7, and the highest-ranked institution in northeast Indiana was Goshen College. The August Forbes article, written by staffer Matt Schifrin, focused heavily on the paradox of some institutions raising tuition rates and then offering sometimes deep discounts to attract students. It suggested such a practice was a symptom of a deeply troubled system. But Snyder, Brooks and others said all private colleges and universities offer discounts, otherwise referred to as institutional scholarships or institutional financial aid. As a result, they agreed, that one particular barometer of financial health becomes a wash. The article also focused on endowments as a measure of an institution’s financial well-being, and, indeed, local private university leaders said an endowment is an important tool in helping

MIKE MARTURELLO

Forbes Magazine recently rated the financial health of 900 private colleges and universities in the nation. Trine University, in Angola, received a “D.” But Trine University President Earl Brooks II calls the report inaccurate, and says other factors should be considered.

cover costs. Indiana Tech, with about 1,200 students at its Fort Wayne campus and more than 8,000 system-wide, has an endowment of about $50 million, Snyder said. The 1,300-student Manchester University, which was given a “B” grade by Forbes, has a similar endowment, according to Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Jack Gochenaur. Meanwhile, Trine, with a main-campus enrollment of about 1,800 and a total enrollment of 2,500, has an endowment of approximately $25 million. The 1,200-student Huntington University, which was given a “D” grade, has an endowment of $22.6 million, and the nearly 2,400-student University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, which was given a “C”, has an endowment of about $15 million. The Trine endowment, acknowledged Brooks, is inadequate and the school soon will launch the public portion of a $75-million capital campaign. Forty percent of the money raised through the campaign will go to the endowment. But the endowment aside, Brooks said the Angola university has a lot of things going for it. “We’ve had two straight record financial years,” he said. “We’ve had four straight years of record enrollment growth. We’ve had 11 straight years of balanced budgets and positive cash flow.” Net assets, he said, increased by $7 million in fiscal 2012, and net cash flow rose nearly $5 million. A low endowment alone, he said, “does not equate to financial instability.” Stacy Adkinson, executive vice president at Saint Francis, and Julie Hendryx, interim vice president for business and finance at Huntington, agreed and said both institutions are financially stable despite their low Forbes grades. Adkinson and Hendryx said there is some validity to

the individual metrics used by Forbes in assessing an institution’s financial health, but taken together they may not present an accurate picture. Moreover, they said the Forbes rankings offer merely a snapshot in time that does not reflect the financial Brooks trends of an institution. Adkinson did take issue with Forbes’ metric assessing endowment assets per full-time-equivalent students. She said the national average for private colleges is nearly $17,000 per FTE, yet the institutions that got full credit in the endowment category registered at least $100,000 per FTE. “It starts to feel a little isolating,” she said, “for those of us who don’t have billions and billions in assets. That’s one factoid where it’s a matter of perspective.” One question that remains unanswered in the Forbes ratings is this: What does a low ranking mean? The article’s author could not be reached for comment on that matter. “What does a ‘D’ rating mean?” asked Manchester’s Gochenaur. “That they’re about ready to fall off a cliff? I don’t think so.”

The incorrect inference from a low rating, Snyder said, is that a university isn’t going to be able to invest much in the institution or that there will be a deterioration of intellectual capital. Just as concerning, he and others said, is how the general public might perceive a negative ranking. “It’s really not serving the general public very well,” Snyder said. Gochenaur acknowledged that even though he is not a fan of the rankings, there is likely an advantage in the public-opinion arena if an institution gets a high grade. “I would be concerned if the (rankings) went out and Manchester got a ‘D’,” he said. “I would be worried about the average person and how they would interpret that. Wouldn’t you? “There could be the perception that (someone) wouldn’t want to go to that school. I won’t say it would be a fair perception, but it would be a perception.” An even greater issue, he said, is finding ways to make a college education more affordable – something President Barack Obama coincidentally addressed recently in announcing plans to link financial aid to a proposed rating system focusing on such things as tuition, debt and graduation rates.

Brad was born in Kendallville, Indiana on December 27, 1954 to William E. and Sue Mr. Huff (Stroman) Huff. Brad was a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who started playing the piano at age 9. A 1973 graduate East Noble High School in Kendallville, Brad moved to Denver, Colorado at the age of 19 to pursue his love of music. He moved on to playing guitar and drums as his major axe to carve out a career in clubs, concerts, and recording studios for the next 30 years working in the then flourishing rock and metal scene and traveling with different bands for many years in the western United States, Canada and Alaska. Playing drums for Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Pinetop Perkins, Waldo Weathers (of the James Brown Horns) and scores of other great musicians, Brad experienced what he said was “the best all around real world music education that money couldn’t buy.” As part of that, he lived and worked in Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Nashville, Alaska, Budapest and Prague. Deciding not to do the same thing as every other guy on the block, he chose to do his own arrangements of his favorite songwriters, mixed with original compositions. Brad produced three CDs in Prague. The first, entitled “8 Songs”, is his first collection of original songs composed in Prague, where he relocated in 2004. The second, “Hard Life”, features five original and five covers all in a blues format. His third CD, “My Blue Heaven”, rounds out the set with a full band format and Brad on all instruments. Brad also produced and played on the first demo for Czech pop group “Niceland” which contributed to their signing with Son Records in 2007 Brad performed on a regular basis in Europe, mostly in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria and from his home base in Prague. In late 2009, Brad was diagnosed with cancer, which he fought with various treatments until the very end. Even when doctors told him he should stop playing, he continued to play music several nights a week until the end. His final concert, August 2, 2013, which was incredibly physically demanding for him at that point, was only nine days before he left us. A memorial service was held at the Auberge de Prorence Hotel, Restaurant and Gardens in Prague where he played many times. He is survived by: the love of his life, Helena Vanugova of Prague; two daughters: Nichole and Matthew Greenlee and Trayce McGilvery, both of Denver, Colorado; grandchildren Ezra, Selah, Davie, and Amos Greenlee and Narian and

Hutchins lived beyond expectations BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

PLEASANT LAKE — Family members of Ronald Hutchins are convinced their father lived for his grandchildren. After all, how could you explain Hutchins surviving a serious bout with cancer nearly 20 years beyond what doctors said he would? But that’s what happened. Mr. Hutchins was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma, distant metastasis, and was told he had about six months to live in 1993. He underwent therapy in a variety of specialty clinics, including Duke University, where he took part in a trial. “He was a miracle man,” said daughter Carolyn Dilts. “At the time, he was adamant: ‘I’m going to beat this,”’ said daughter Barbara Hoolihan. “He always said, ‘I want to be around to see my great grand-kids,’ and he did, 14 of them.” He had special relationships with all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, his children said. He created secret handshakes for each of the grandchildren and during the 1970s he used to have entertaining chats with them over citizens band radios. As long as he could, prior to the cancer returning, Mr. Hutchins attended as many of his grandchildren’s sporting events as possible. Son John Hutchins said he thought it was that motivation that kept him going. “I do, I really do,” he said. “It was Mom’s constant praying,” Barbara interjected. “He really was all about family,” John said. He and wife Mary were inseparable, his children said. John thought there were only two times he recalls his parents not being together, once when he went on a smelt fishing trip with some friends and the other when he and his father got stranded while out snowmobiling during the blizzard of 1978. They were married June 4, 1950, and she survives. “He was just completely devoted to our mother,” Barbara said. “The saying that behind every good man is a woman is true,” John said. Mary stood behind a man who was a devoted public servant, having served as a Steuben County Commissioner from 1969-1972. He served on the Sheriff’s Merit Board, was county building inspector during the 1990s and became Steuben Township Trustee in 2009 as an appointee then was elected to the post in 2010. His term would have been up next year.

Mary and Ronald Hutchins are shown in an off-road vehicle at their Pleasant Lake home. Mr. Hutchins died Aug. 19.

Mr. Hutchins, 83, of Pleasant Lake passed away on Monday, Aug. 12, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. The Pleasant Lake School graduate was also involved in the community. He was a member of Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church, Pleasant Lake Lions Club, a 62-year member of Ashley Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite and Shrine. Mr. Hutchins originally was a member of the Masons in Pleasant Lake before the group folded. He formerly owned Hutchins Hardware in Angola with brother Lyn and retired from farming and construction. Mr. Hutchins had a dairy farm and worked in construction with John. He also had graduated from barber school and ran a shop in Ashley before working at a shop on the Public Square in Angola. Many folks who knew Mr. Hutchins might not recall that he loved music. He played the guitar, piano, banjo and trumpet.

He also was an avid model plane flyer. “Him and Uncle Jack and Uncle George would fly them on the weekends and tear them up and spend the entire week building them again so they could go out and do it all over again,” John said. Mr. Hutchins also enjoyed snowmobiling. And about that blizzard incident, well, John was out riding around because hey, that’s what you do when you own a snowmobile. His father went out looking for him and by the two finally caught up with each other, it was clear they weren’t going to make it home, so they stayed at the home of a friend. John didn’t recall getting in trouble. Perhaps it was because of the fairness Mr. Hutchins extended in all that he did. As Barbara said, a friend once told her that in all of the years her father served the community, “I never heard anything bad about your dad.”

Back to school: By the numbers WASHINGTON (AP) — Schools and classrooms are spiffed up — maybe. New textbooks have been ordered — perhaps. Teachers are energized — hopefully. What’s certain is that millions of children in the United States are heading to school after the summer. Many are there for the first time, while others are in the final year of their formal education. Statistics make clear that those with college degrees generally will do better than their peers who do not graduate and that those who drop out from high school face an even more dismal future. As the school year begins, some facts and figures about education in America: HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE THERE? The National Center for Education Statistics estimated that in 2013, 50.1 million children will be enrolled in U.S. public schools and 5.2 million will be in private school. That

doesn’t include students who are home-schooled. The Education Department’s statistics arm also estimated there were 1.5 million U.S. students home-schooled in 2007; advocates of home schooling put the number higher. Enrollment in colleges and universities was estimated to reach a record 21.8 million this fall, according to NCES, the Education Department’s statistics arm. ——— WHO’S TEACHING THEM? There are about 3.3 million elementary and secondary public teachers in 2013, leading to a student teacher ratio of 15-to-1, NCES said. The average teacher in a public school earned about $56,000 for the school year that ended in 2011, according to the agency. When adjusted for inflation, that salary is only 3 percent higher than it was for the year that ended in the spring of 1991. ——— WHAT ABOUT SPENDING ON KIDS?

Teacher salaries are just part of the total spent on educating children. All told, NCES says $591 billion will be spent during the new school year. That breaks down to an average $11,810 for each student. —— WHAT ARE STUDENTS BEING TAUGHT? The buzz word these days is Common Core. The Common Core State Standards establish benchmarks for student learning in math and reading. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have adopted the standards, which critics decry as tantamount to a national curriculum. Supporters counter that the standards are necessary to ensure that high school graduates are ready for college or career. ——— DRESSED AND EQUIPPED FOR SUCCESS In some households, it is a tradition that children get a new outfit for that first day of school. But the cost is just a fraction of what parents pay to get their children ready for

school. The National Retail Federation estimated that a family’s back-to-school spending for elementary and secondary school in 2013 would average about $634.78. In addition to clothing, supplies and electronics add to the total. That’s down more than $50 from the previous year. For college students, there’s a higher cost. The federation said back-to-school spending for a college student would average $836.83 this year, also down from 2012. ——— HOW SAFE IS MY STUDENT? Last December’s shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., brought questions about school security to the forefront. More than 1.2 million students between ages 12 and 18 were victims of crimes at school in 2011, according to NCES and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Of those, nearly half were violent crimes and 648,600 involved thefts, the agencies said.

THANK YOU FOR 59 YEARS!!!

Americans split over Syria DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The specter of U.S. military action against Syria and further intervention in the Muslim world is generating troubled and conflicting emotions throughout America. People cite misgivings about their country’s role as “world policeman.” They express moral outrage at atrocities in a faraway nation, tempered by dismay about trying to decide who’s good and who’s bad in a sectarian slaughter. There’s a deep ambivalence about how to use American military power for good without committing the United States to another intractable war. Those sentiments are reflected in a series of interviews conducted Friday by The Associated Press across the country and borne out in recent polling. In town after town, Americans weary of war after a dozen years of it are

expressing unease, concern, fear and often resignation. Some adamantly oppose any U.S. action against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, even though the Obama administration says he used chemical weapons to kill 1,429 people, including more than 400 children. Obama said Saturday he would seek congressional approval before launching any strike. With Navy ships in the Mediterranean Sea ready to strike, Obama said he had decided the United States should take military action, but also determined “our country will be better off” if Congress renders its own opinion. At the same time, he challenged lawmakers to consider “what message will we send to a dictator” if he is allowed to killed hundreds of children with chemical weapons without suffering any retaliation. Lawmakers will return to

ALBRIGHT’S SUPERMARKET

session on Sept. 9. Most are struggling to sort out conflicting hopes and anxieties. Painful lessons from Vietnam and Iraq color the conversations. Pride in America’s strength and morality often seem pitted against fears of arrogance that can lead to conflicts much easier to start than to finish. “I think he has to do something,” Ralph Whitney of Groton, Conn., said of Obama, even if it means “stirring up a hornet’s nest.” Opinion polls quantify the serious reservations. An NBC News survey suggests that the Assad government’s alleged use of chemical weapons has not persuaded more people in the U.S. to support military intervention. Half of those surveyed said the U.S. should not take military action, while 42 percent said the U.S. should.

Summer is fair on Jersey shore MANASQUAN, N.J. (AP) — No, it wasn’t a great summer to do business at the Jersey shore. But considering the damage Superstorm Sandy did to the region last fall and the Herculean effort to get large swaths of the coast ready for tourists and residents by Memorial Day, many say they are grateful they had any kind of summer season at all this year. “What hurt us was there are a lot of residents who are still displaced by the storm — people that I see all the time, whose children I’ve watched grow up, who I’ve seen maybe once or twice all summer,” said Matthew Riccelli, general manager of Gee Gee’s Pizza, which has been a fixture on the Manasquan beach walk for three decades. The business and an adjacent arcade were wrecked by the storm, which filled the 8-foothigh basement with 6 feet of sand, shattered doors and windows, and flooded interiors. Riccelli said business was down by 30

percent this summer because of the lingering effects of the storm on tourism but also by an exceptionally rainy first half of the season. A carwash his friend owns also is down about 30 percent this summer, he added. On the Belmar boardwalk, the Exit 98 Boutique reopened in a steel shipping container for this

summer. Foot traffic was about the same as last year, but profits were down, said longtime employee Kathy Ferrara. “Every last thing had to be replaced, from the first piece of clothing to the last paper clip, every hanger, every rack — Wite-Out! Stupid things like Wite-Out we had to replace,” she said.

even forced the president to change the date and location of that state of the nation speech. Drug-related killings are down, his government says without releasing statistics. But kidnapping and extortion, the crimes affecting average citizens that Pena Nieto promised to attack, are on the rise. After 12 years out of office, the once-autocratic party known as the PRI is encountering a more complicated, democratic country than the one it ran for 71 years. “They have to learn how to govern in a new context where there are a greater number of new voices from new spaces, and there is less control,” said Alberto Aziz Nassif, an analyst with the Center for Investigations in Social Anthropology. With GDP growth projec-

tions dropping from 3.1 to 1.8 percent this year, and protesting teachers forcing legislators to shelve a key piece of his education reform, Pena Nieto cancelled a trip to Turkey to rescue the meat of the education reform in Congress. “Let me tell you, in this effort we will not relent. We will not surrender. We are going firmly and with determination to make education reform happen,” he said at a presidential stop on Wednesday celebrating Senior Citizens Day. Pena Nieto worked during the campaign to convince voters that they were voting for a new PRI, devoid of the corruption and coercive tactics that got the party kicked out in 2000. He was elected in July 2012 .

reform school from the 1950s and 1960s have detailed horrific beatings that took place in a small, white concrete block building at the facility. A group of survivors call themselves the “White House Boys” and five years ago called for an investigation into the graves. In 2010, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement ended an investigation and said it could not substantiate or refute claims that boys died at the hands of staff. USF later began its own research and discovered even more graves than the state department had identified. USF has worked for months to secure a permit to exhume the remains, finally

receiving permission from Gov. Rick Scott and the state Cabinet after being rejected by Secretary of State Ken Detzner, who reports to Scott. Robert Straley, a spokesman for the White House Boys, said the school segregated white and black inmates and that the remains are located where black inmates were held. He suspects there is another white cemetery that hasn’t been discovered. “I think that there are at least 100 more bodies up there,” he said. “At some point they are going to find more bodies, I’m dead certain of that. There has to be a white graveyard on the white side.”

Grave excavation begins in Florida MARIANNA, Fla. (AP) — University of South Florida researchers were to begin exhuming dozens of graves Saturday at a former reform school in hopes of identifying the buried boys and learning how they died. Researchers will remove dirt with trowels and by hand to find the remains, which are believed to be 19 inches to 3-plus feet under the surface. “In these historic cases, it’s really about having an accurate record and finding out what happened and knowing the truth about what happened,” said Erin Kimmerle, a USF anthropologist who is leading the excavation.

Mexican president’s can-do attitude put to the test MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Enrique Pena Nieto came to power Dec. 1 with a swagger. His Institutional Revolutionary Party, for all its faults, knew how to govern. He promised a new Mexico, an economic powerhouse far from its image as a violencetorn land overrun by drug traffickers. He passed radical reforms for education and telecommunications and proposed more for energy and taxes. But nine months later, as Pena Nieto prepares to give his first state of the nation address on Monday, the new Mexico still looks a lot like the old one. Economic growth projections have been cut nearly in half. The streets are clogged with anti-reform protesters, who have blocked Congress and

Our View •

Our success depends on good workers On Labor Day, it’s good to remember that northeast Indiana is built on the outstanding labor of its workers. This ranks as the No. 1 manufacturing region in the nation. It takes a variety of factors to make that possible. Our location in the middle of the industrial heartland, crisscrossed by key railroads and highways, plays a big The future of northeast part. So does Indiana depends on the availability of land and every person who clean water. none of shows up each day, ourBut geographic ready to give his or her advantages would matter best effort. if we didn’t make good products and give great service. Time after time, companies talk about our work ethic when explaining why they choose to do business in northeast Indiana. We’ve been that way for a century or more. This weekend, Auburn is celebrating its heritage as the home of classic cars built in the 1920s and ’30s. Auburn rose to prominence partly because of the business genius of E.L. Cord, who had the vision to dream of cars that stood out from the ordinary. Cord relied on the designing talents of Gordon Buehrig, who took automobiles on a great leap forward, perhaps a full decade ahead of his time. But Cord and Buehrig never bent a piece of sheet metal. Their success depended on the ability of northeast Indiana workers to turn their great ideas into real fenders, frames and body panels that have survived 80 years or more. The same holds true today. As our region fights its way out of a long recession, our leaders can promise roads and tax breaks in trying to lure new employers, but every place in America can do that. Our advantage lies in our reputation for putting in an honest day’s work. The future of northeast Indiana depends on every person who shows up each day, ready to give his or her best effort. It hangs on our preparation by going beyond basic schooling to learn skills that make us valuable employees. It’s fitting that on Labor Day, a world-renowned festival honors the skilled labor of our forefathers. We hope our descendants will be able to look back on our work with the same sense of pride.

Letters • Illegal immigrants are taking our jobs To the editor: As Labor Day draws near the American working class will go out and celebrate that they have a job. They don’t care about all the American workers that are unemployed or underemployed. It used to be We The People, but now it is me, myself and I. Under Reagan they legalized 4 million illegal invaders, which gave the green light for more to come. Now we have 11 million, and they want to make them legal again. When they invade our country and take American jobs from Americans, they are the enemy. The definition in the dictionary of traitors is giving aid to the enemy. We have a majority of so-called Americans agreeing to make them legal again, half the Republican Party and all of the Democratic Party that used to be for the American working class. We just had a report that the homeless rate for American veterans that fought for our country went up again. No one cares about anyone but themselves as long as they get theirs. You all make me sick to my stomach from Obama on down, and just think that I served this country and was ready to die for it. American people turn their backs on Americans and our great veterans and support illegals or do nothing. When Stutzman ran for Congress, I found out that he supported making illegals legal. I went to a town hall meeting that had a lot of tea party people there. When I questioned Stutzman about his support for the illegals, he said that they would have to pay back taxes and speak English. I interrupted him and said they still are taking American jobs. Not one person clapped for my remarks. Yet when the next person said we should do away with taxes — they clapped. I can’t explain how disappointed I was. Now he is a congressman. When they had Occupy Fort Wayne I made a sign that read “No Jobs?” Our Government gave them to communist China and Vietnam and let illegals take American jobs.” The only people that mentioned my sign were two Hispanics that could hardly speak English. They told me this land belongs to everyone. I wonder why I am the only one trying to do something.

I contacted a brick laying company for a job laying bricks. The representative from Churubusco that came out gave me a price if I paid cash. When I mentioned, like I do to everyone, about illegals taking Americans jobs, he said do you care that the brick layers I have lined up are from Colombia? We pay them cash and they send the money back to their families in Colombia. I told him he was an anti-American traitor and how could he look at himself in the mirror. The illegals are not out there picking tomatoes, they are building houses, are in our factories and now taking skilled jobs. I would like to see Americans get together at the federal building in Fort Wayne, where our representatives’ offices are located, and protest illegals in the country. You don’t have to round them up. Just fine the employers that hire them and they will self-deport where their relatives live and they know the language. We won’t waste money on a fence on the border. We need to stop anchor babies (babies born to illegals while they are in this country.) China even has excursions over here when the women are about to have their baby. Then they qualify for all our benefits. We are the only country in the world that allows this. We have some lowlife scum bags that are bringing the Burmese in and putting them in apartments at taxpayers’ expense. Why are the members of the American Legion not doing anything about it? Why are the unions not protesting or trying to do something? How many Americans go to church and give money when their church supports illegals and legals? Our idiot government still allows legal immigrants to come with 11 million unemployed. So we put them on welfare when we are $16 trillion in debt. We need a third party to vote for which should be called the American party instead of the worthless two-party system right now that is destroying this country in all respects. We are turning into a third world country. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Thomas Adkison Albion

Indiana’s jobs problem may be local, not state NASHVILLE, Ind. — After 16 consecutive months of Indiana’s jobless rate above the national average — it’s 8.4 percent now, compared to 7.4 for the U.S. — the cold reality is that we have a problem with a quarter of a million Hoosiers chronically out of work. Then came a Ball State University study showing Indiana’s per capita income has slipped from 30th in the nation to 40th with dozens of counties wallowing in wage levels in the 1990s and, some like my old home of Miami, in the 1970s range. I wrote an analysis in which I noted that for almost the past nine years, we’ve had Republican governors who have made job creation and education reform top priorities, and yet we’ve been over 8 percent unemployment since early 2009. At some point, a political reality comes into play, perhaps as early as 2014 and if this trend persists, by 2016. It used to be that a jobless rate over 7 percent would mean the boot from voters. Yet, Gov. Mitch Daniels left office with a 60 percent approval rating and President Obama was re-elected. Gov. Mike Pence gets it. Speaking before the Indianapolis Kiwanis last Friday, he acknowledged, “There’s a great sense of optimism, there’s reason to be encouraged as Hoosiers, but this is a difficult time for too many in our state.” At Hobart, Pence told local Realtors, “I want to see where the young people can graduate from high school and can have an

industry certification or even an associates degree right that day.” There was one interesting response to my analysis, and it came from Ball State University economics Prof. Michael Hicks. “Indiana’s problem is not that the overall business climate for investment is poor (it is great) or that we have HOWEY too few students from POLITICAL graduating college with the REPORT right degrees (they are) or that people outside Indiana Brian Howey don’t know how great these things are (they know),” he explained. “The problem is not statewide (we have 12 counties growing much faster than the nation as a whole). These are just facts. I also don’t believe that the overall problem is one of rapid technological progress or any of the national (and hopefully transient) problems in labor markets.” No, the problem here is much closer to home. It comes in your city or town. Hicks explains: “This is really a local, not state problem. Almost all our local economic policies target business investment, and masquerade as job creation efforts. We abate taxes, apply TIF’s and woo businesses all over the state, but then the employees who receive

•

middle class wages (say $18 an hour or more) choose the nicest place to live within a 40-mile radius. So, we bring a nice factory to Muncie, and the employees all commute from Noblesville.” The real problem here is that Indiana Republicans parade under the banners of Reaganism, of smaller government and one that stays out of our bedrooms and personal lives. But when our cities and towns seek what we call “local control” over tax options, legislative leaders politely listen, and then tell them to shove off. A classic example came last year when Republican and Democratic mayors from Whiting to Evansville pleaded with the General Assembly to toughen laws on access to methamphetamine ingredients. They were largely ignored, a watered down law passed, and so far in 2013, we’ve had almost 1,100 meth lab busts that have injured 17 cookers, 18 cops and involved more than 300 children. They have passed tax caps that have crimped city budgets. The hope was that municipalities would consolidate, but what’s happened has been cuts in parks budgets and a curtailing of school bus service. So when cities compete for that new corporation, and the executives survey a city with shabby parks and kids walking to school in 10 degree weather, they go elsewhere. Hicks explains, “As Americans became richer, schooling and community amenities matter more. This is an iron law of economics, that the share of income we spend

on some goods rises as we get richer. Education and amenities (like health care and recreation) are two of these things. So, the Midwest built its small towns long before the quality of a place made much difference in migration or incomes. Today, quality of place matters deeply, and we are, in many places, unprepared to deal with it.” Power has become centralized at the Indiana City Council (i.e. Indiana General Assembly), which has capped taxes, overridden local gun laws and constantly tinkers in municipal affairs. “Both parties have been complicit to some degree in the long march towards centralizing power at the state and federal level that has weakened the capacity of local government to address their problems,” Hicks explains. “It will take some serious assistance, both technical and financial, for a state like Indiana to help most communities emerge from the dire straits they are in. Even then, many places face a dismal future.” The ironic aspect to this is that the chronic 8 percent jobless rate may be just the thing that flushes the central scrutinizers in the House and Senate out of office over the next two election cycles. You reap what you sow, senator, if the voters make this connection. BRIAN HOWEY is publisher of the Howey Political Report, a weekly briefing on Indiana politics.

Maya, may you love school as much as I did It wasn’t supposed to happen this fast. Three years ago, I relocated here from Michigan. Now, the next thing I know, my niece, Maya, starts kindergarten this week. Call it the world continuing to speed up. Kids have a funny way of growing up quicker, as hard as we try to slow that process down. It seems like a few minutes ago, I was playing with Playdough with Maya in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula at a family reunion. We were making odd-shaped creations talking and laughing the whole time. Once outside, I pushed her higher and higher on the big

swing, challenging her to touch the sky with her toes. She nearly kicked me over on a swing backward and giggled. We also love to giggle together just to hear ourselves and because it’s so much fun.

Maya will take the hand of her best friend, Izzy, and take off down the hallway leaving mama in the chalk dust. Maya will learn so much. I can’t wait for her to write me a letter. She will learn how to read all her books I’ve given to her. There will be counting, music, more refrigerator art, gym, recess, field trips. She will make new little friends and meet her teacher.

Facing the epidemic of distracted driving Many high school students returning to classes this fall will find a new topic added to their curriculum: the dangers of distracted driving. Or to put it in blunt terms a teenager might grasp: Texting kills. AT&T, in cooperation with three other communications companies, has commissioned a 35-minute video from noted filmmaker Werner Herzog. It tells the stories of four people whose lives were damaged forever by a second or two of inattention. By the seductive lure of technology. A shorter COKIE ROBERTS version is being distribSTEVEN ROBERTS uted to 40,000 high schools, and every one should make it mandatory viewing. To be crass here: If you insist on texting while at the wheel and wrap yourself around a telephone pole in the process, OK, you brought that on yourself. You made a decision and live with the consequences. But Herzog’s video is so powerful because it focuses on the bystanders, the innocent victims of the distracted drivers. The young football player, walking down a street holding hands with his sister, who is now confined to a wheelchair. The three Amish children killed when a van smashed into their family’s horse-drawn buggy. Driving is the most dangerous thing most of us do every day, maybe ever. And we have a long record in this country of requiring innovations that make driving safer. Auto companies were forced against their will to install airbags. Drivers now buckle seat belts automatically, if only to silence the annoying signal that goes off when they don’t. Driving drunk is now socially and morally unacceptable. Now it’s time to focus on the perils of technology. If anything, it’s even more dangerous than alcohol. Numerous studies have shown that texters get absorbed in conversations, lose track of time and become unguided missiles of destruction. Car and Driver magazine, for example, rigged a car with a red light to tell drivers when to brake. For unimpaired drivers, the reaction time was about a half second. Drinking added four feet of reaction time; reading emails added 36 feet; sending a text, 70 feet. In 2011, 200,000 crashes involved drivers who were texting, estimates the National Safety Council. Newsday quotes researchers at the Cohen Children’s Medical Center who calculate that texting causes 3,000 deaths and 300,000 injuries among teenagers every year — more than the number maimed or murdered in alcohol-induced incidents.

Now it’s time to focus on the perils of technology. If anything, it’s even more dangerous than alcohol.

• Ray LaHood, the former Secretary of Transportation, vehemently decries what he calls the “epidemic” of distracted driving and blames the way new technologies are made and marketed. The message pushed in pervasive ads: Be wired or be weird. Unplugging is uncool. “The problem in America is our cellphones are, in a sense, like alcohol,” he told The New York Times. “We’re hooked on them and can’t put them down when behind the wheel of the car, when we’re driving. (We) can’t put them down, anyplace, anytime, anywhere.” So what can be done? Laws are a start. Beginning with Washington state in 2007, 41 states now prohibit text messaging for all drivers; six others apply a ban to novice drivers and three to school bus drivers. Twelve states also ban hand-held cellphones and many are adding a “primary enforcement” provision, which means that cops can stop you merely for talking or texting. They don’t need another reason, like reckless driving. A second answer is technology itself. Apps are now increasingly available that disable a phone when a car is in motion. But drivers won’t buy or use them unless something more basic changes — cultural norms. The whole experience with drunk driving is very instructive. It took a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of deaths, but eventually the principle was widely established: Don’t drink and drive. That has not yet happened with texting. “We have some very strong taboos against drinking and driving,” Dr. Andrew Adesman of the Cohen Center told Newsday. “Kids don’t drink and drive every day. But some kids are out there texting and driving seven days a week — and they admit it.” That’s why AT&T is doing a very good thing by sponsoring the Herzog film. Communications companies helped create the culture of constant connectivity and now they have an obligation to temper it a bit. So do the car companies that now cram their vehicles with the latest electronic devices. “At the end of the day, we are trying to save lives,” says Michelle Kuckelman, a spokesman for AT&T. That’s a goal worth praising and promoting. COKIE ROBERTS AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS are columnists for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. They can be contacted by email at stevecokie@gmail.com.

His younger brother, Chip, piloted a 1937 Cord in its original color scheme — cool orchard green. Five family members and a friend rode along. The Folcks’ grandfather, Fred Folck, owned a car dealership in Angola. Their father, Keith, operated a body shop in town for some 40 years. Keith Folck bought the tan Cord in 1972, although it had no paint at the time. “There were no two parts bolted together,” Chip said. The green Cord came into the family in 1974. “Dad was just lucky enough to buy them before they got expensive,” Chip said. “Dad could do anything,” Chip added, from making his own screws to plating metal for the Cords. Still, he never finished restoring the 1936 Cord. The ’37 needed attention, too, when Keith Folck died 10 years ago. As a tribute, the family had both cars restored at the highly regarded LaVine Restorations shop in Nappanee.

cars, high-end cars.” He added, “Every Duesenberg has a story.” Greene and his crew began Saturday in Auburn’s Eckhart Park, where owners of Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg autos gather before the festival’s annual Parade of Classics. “We’ve gotten some really good interviews today with current ACD owners,” Greene said. Among that group, he spoke with two owners of early Duesenbergs, John Bools of North Carolina and Peter Heydon of Michigan. As an owner of a valuable car, Greene said, “You’re really a caretaker of a piece of art.”

Greene will produce 13 episodes of “Magnificent Motorcars,” he said. The first installment will focus on an Aston-Martin that Carroll Shelby drove to a victory at LeMans in 1959. He said the race car recently sold for $28 million. Greene has traveled to Europe and to major U.S. car shows to collect material. His next stop will be the Gilmore Car Museum near Kalamazoo, Mich. He’s focusing his series on ’30s and ’40s autos, and the newest car in “Magnificent Motorcars” will be the Ford GT-40 of the 1960s. The series’ first episode features an extended interview with NBC’s television late-night host Jay

Leno, a noted car collector, Greene said. Greene also is working on a second automotive-related series, “Reality Rides,” for the Velocity channel. Its 26 episodes will trace the restoration of a 1955 Buick Special. He describes it as “‘This Old House’ for cars.” Preview trailers for both future shows may be viewed at greenehdtv.com. “I’ve been to a ton of car shows,” while working on “Magnificent Motorcars,” Greene said. In Auburn, he said, “Seeing a Duesenberg drive past me on the road, it’s just unheard of. … You have something really unique, really special here, and it’s fun capturing it.”

DEPUTY: Call came to dispatch center at 11:29 p.m. FROM PAGE A1

but dispatchers got disconnected. Other calls came in and were received by Steuben County dispatchers. Eventually, a caller reported a man with a gun threatening to shoot people. It’s common for multiple agencies, including those crossing jurisdictions, to rush to assist when a situation may be dangerous, Troyer said. It’s also not uncommon for such a call to end up being a simple physical altercation between only two people, Troyer said. Officers still have to respond as if there is an imminent threat. “There was no way to believe it wasn’t a legitimate call,” Troyer said. In such instances,

officers must walk the fine line of getting to a scene fast enough to help, but not so fast as to imperil themselves or other motorists. “It’s a Catch 22,” Indiana State Police Sgt. Ron Galaviz said. “The public has an expectation when they call — they expect an immediate response. The minute they call 911, they want us there five minutes ago.” Galaviz said officers know full well that they can do everything correctly and still end up hurt or even killed because of a fluke situation such as a car pulling onto the roadway from an obscured area. Officers receive training on emergency vehicle operations every year, per Indiana Law Enforcement Academy requirements. It’s not a task officers take lightly. “It’s a big respon-

sibility,” Lauer said. “Emergency driving is an extremely dangerous part of our profession. If you don’t do it safely, you’re potentially putting people in jeopardy.” Every night, similar calls to the one that happened Aug. 23 are dispatched in northeastern Indiana. “It’s a dangerous situation from the moment the call comes in,” Troyer said. “It’s amazing what our deputies go through. These are people who every day want to make a difference in their community.” Knowing what the deputies are facing makes life tough on supervisors such as Troyer. He said he often feels a sense of relief when he wakes up and realizes that his phone did not ring overnight. “What it means to me,” Troyer said, “is my people are safe.”

SYRIA: Stutzman is skeptical of American military involvement FROM PAGE A1

“I am deeply skeptical of American military involvement in Syria,” U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Howe, said in a statement Saturday evening. “After ignoring his own ‘red line’ in recent days, President Obama again outlined no clear strategy or objective today should we take military action. “The American people deserve to have their voices heard regarding whether the United States takes military action in this volatile region and I look forward to hearing the thoughts of Hoosiers as well as the analysis of our intelligence community, and the strategy of this Administration in the coming days,” Stutzman said. The president didn’t say so, but his strategy carries enormous risks to his and the nation’s credibility, which the administration has argued forcefully is on the line in Syria. Obama long ago said the use of chemical weapons was a “red line” that Syrian President Bashar Assad would not be allowed to cross with impunity. Nor was it clear what options would be open to the president if he fails to win the backing of the

House and Senate for the military measures he has threatened. Only this week, British Prime Minister David Cameron suffered a humiliating defeat when the House of Commons refused to support his call for military action against Syria. Either way, the developments marked a stunning turn in an episode in which Obama has struggled to gain international support for a strike, while dozens of lawmakers at home urged him to seek their backing. Halfway around the world, Syrians awoke Saturday to state television broadcasts of tanks, planes and other weapons of war, and troops training, all to a soundtrack of martial music. Assad’s government blames rebels in the Aug. 21 attack, and has threatened retaliation if it is attacked. Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he was appealing to a Nobel Peace laureate rather than to a president, urged Obama to reconsider. A group that monitors casualties in the long Syrian civil war challenged the United States to substantiate its claim that 1,429 died in a chemical weapons attack, including more than 400 children.

Birds serve as indicators In my article a few weeks ago, I wrote that I didn’t think there were as many hummingbirds this year as last. Last summer, I saw three or four at the feeder, and I saw them every day. Further, other people had told me they hadn’t seen as many hummingbirds this year. I wrote that I thought it was because of the hot weather and the drought last summer. That had resulted in fewer summer wildflowers, less food for hummers, and as a result, hummers hadn’t raised as many young. Since I wrote that, I’ve thought of other birds that seem to have declined, not just since last year but in recent years. Chimney swifts are an example. NEIL CASE I’ve only seen a few this summer, none over the town nearest where I live. Nighthawks are another example. I haven’t seen any this summer. Chimney swifts and nighthawks feed on mosquitoes and flies and other insects, scooping them out of the air with wide-open mouths as they fly. It would be easy to believe the birds have declined in number because there aren’t as many insects and there aren’t as many insects because of the spraying of insecticides. But I don’t believe there has been any spraying in town near my home, yet chimney swifts and nighthawks seem to be gone there, just as they are where there has been spraying. In another article I wrote that the decline in number of some birds was likely at least partially due to chemical spraying. Soon after that I received a letter telling me that couldn’t be,

The decline in number of ruby-throated hummingbirds is recent.

that all chemical sprays currently used have been thoroughly tested and are perfectly safe. If that is true, why are people in cities and towns told when and where spraying will be done and warned to stay indoors while the spraying is being done? This is not about the use of chemicals. It’s about the decline in numbers of birds — some birds: ruby-throated hummingbirds and chimney swifts and nighthawks, meadowlarks and bobolinks and vesper and Savannah sparrows. That’s just one side of the story, however. As those birds, and others, have declined in number, others have increased. Peregrine falcons and bald eagles have increased. Wild turkeys and sandhill cranes, Canada geese, great egrets and house finches have all increased. The decline in number of ruby-throated hummingbirds is recent, from last year to this. The decline in chimney swifts and nighthawks has been the past few years. The reasons for the declines are my opinion. The increase of peregrine falcons and bald eagles and the other birds I listed as having increased has

been over a longer period of time, and the reasons for their increase are fairly well known. There has been an effort by people in each case to aid those birds. Peregrine falcons were raised in captivity and released to the wild. Eagles were given legal protection, and young bald eagles were taken from the nests of wild eagles, transferred to different locations, raised in artificial nests and released. Wild turkeys were trapped, transferred to locations where there were no turkeys and released. Re-established wetlands and protection from hunting aided sandhill cranes and great egrets. House finches were moved from their natural range in the West and released in the East and now exist from coast to coast. A change in bird numbers or distribution means something else has changed. Birds are indicators of environment and of changes in the environment. Considering bird numbers and changes in their numbers adds a new aspect to bird watching. It makes bird watching a study of the environment and of the weather. It makes bird watching a study of ecology.

Irish take opener SOUTH BEND (AP) — Tommy Rees threw a pair of 32-yard touchdown passes to DaVaris Daniels, a 66-yard scoring pass to Troy Niklas and Notre Dame had three quick scoring drives en route to a 28-6 victory over Temple on Saturday. The 14th-ranked Irish jumped to a 14-0 lead on a pair of three-play drives on its opening two possessions and appeared headed for a blowout. But when the Notre Dame offense stalled, Temple squandered a pair of scoring chances, with Jim Cooper Jr. missing a pair of field goals. An unsettled feeling settled in at Notre Dame Stadium when Kenny Harper scored on a 1-yard run to cut the lead to 14-6. The Irish regained control, however, with Niklas’ TD with 43 seconds left in the half. The victory by the Fighting Irish (1-0) was the 200th career win for coach Brian Kelly, improving his overall record to 200-68-2 and at Notre Dame to 29-11. The Owls (0-1), picked to finish ninth in the 10-team American Athletic Conference, fell to 2-76 all-time against ranked opponents. Rees was 16-of-23 passing for 346 yards, registering his fourth career 300-yard passing day as the Irish improved to 11-0 under Kelly in games when they have no turnovers. Although Temple was heavy underdogs, it was still a bit of disappointing start for first-year Temple coach Matt Rhule, a former assistant coach for the Owls who last season was an assistant offensive line coach with the New York Giants, because of missed chances. There were some encouraging signs for Temple, though. First-time starter Connor Reilly was solid, completing 23-of-46 passes for 228 yards, which was more than the Owls had in any game last season. He also ran for 65 yards on 12 carries. Rhule installed a pro spread offense after the Owls had the fifth-fewest passing yards in the nation, averaging 121 yards a game. For Notre Dame, though, the victory was welcome after a turbulent offseason following an embarrassing 42-14 loss to Alabama in the national championship game. Rees, who took over as starter after Everett Golson was suspended for the fall semester, got off to a great start, completing his first three passes for 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns. TJ Jones had six catches for 138 yards and Notre

Purdue quarterback Rob Henry (15) fumbles the ball as he is sacked by Cincinnati defensive end Silverberry Mouhon during Saturday’s game. The Boilermakers fumbled five times in a 42-7 loss.

Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees throws a pass against Temple during Saturday’s season-opener. Rees registered his fourth career 300-yard passing day as the Irish won 38-6.

Dame had 543 yards total offense, with Amir Carlisle running for 68 yards on seven carries. One of the questions about Rees was whether he could beat opponents deep, with even offensive coordinator Chuck Martin saying he probably wouldn’t respect Rees’ arm strength if he were going against him. But Rees threw the pair of long TD passes to Daniels, who didn’t have a touchdown catch last season. Daniels beat Temple cornerback Anthony Robey on both TDs. The first drive started with Carlisle breaking a 45-yard run up the left sideline to the Temple 37, while the second was set up by a short pass to Jones, who broke two tackles, for a 51-yard gain. The Irish drove to midfield on their next possession, but the drive stalled. That’s when Temple began showing signs of life after Notre Dame safety Bennett Jackson was called for pass interference. The Owls drove to the Notre Dame 15, but Cooper missed a 32-yard field goal attempt wide right. They drove to the Notre Dame 17, but Reilly was called for a delay of game when the Irish showed blitz. Cooper then missed wide right from 43 yards. The Owls finally scored on their next possession, driving 78 yards on nine plays. Reilly completed four of six passes on the drive for 64 yards, with Notre Dame safety Elijah Shumate being called for pass interference in the end zone. After Irish nose guard Louis Nix

was called for roughing the passer, Kenny Harper scored on a 1-yard run. The Irish didn’t give up a rushing touchdown in going 12-0 in the regular season last year until the eighth game against Oklahoma. Cooper’s point-after kick was blocked by Notre Dame defensive lineman Jarron Jones. Kelly gets new 5-year deal Kelly has been rewarded for getting the Fighting Irish to the national championship game in January with a new five-year deal. Kelly said the contract signifies to him that he and the university officials are “all in it together.” “So when we come to an agreement, it’s not necessarily that within it that I get a lunch stipend on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s about that we’re all together in this contract about moving the program forward. We decided by signing this contract, we’re all in this together. That’s what I was looking for,” he said. The university has made a number of changes in the program since he became coach, including instituting a training table to make sure players are getting proper nutrition and changing some longstanding pregame routine, such as moving the pregame Mass from Saturday to Friday. He also talked Thursday about how he will be involved in the conversation when players are facing potential disciplinary action, something former past coaches have complained about.

Bearcats pop Purdue CINCINNATI (AP) — Munchie Legaux regained his job as the starting quarterback and had a solid showing on Saturday, throwing for a touchdown and running for another in Cincinnati’s 42-7 victory over Purdue — the Boilermakers’ worst opening loss in 17 years. Legaux’s dual-threat performance highlighted a game featuring two new coaches and a new league — Cincinnati (1-0) in the American Athletic Conference. The Bearcats celebrated all the newness by introducing all-white uniforms and helmets for their first time on the field under Tommy Tuberville, who came from Texas Tech to replace Butch Jones. Legaux was back at quarterback because incumbent Brendon Kay has been limited by a sore passing shoulder. Given a second chance, he played one of his best games before a crowd of 36,007, the biggest ever at Nippert Stadium. The senior was 13 of 20 for 146 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran six times for 55 yards and a touchdown. Purdue (0-1) got a whole new offense under Darrell Hazell, who came from Kent State to try to get the Boilermakers moving up in the Big Ten. The first time out, the offense couldn’t get out of its own way. It was Purdue’s worst season opener since a 52-14 loss at Michigan State in 1996.

Eagle girls, Arnold highlight Panther Run BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Fremont’s girls cross country team and West Noble’s Brandon Arnold took top honors at the Prairie Heights Panther Run Saturday. The course was altered in light of improvements being made all over the Prairie Heights Community Schools main campus. The start and finish was on the school corporation’s farm. Senior standout Abby Hostetler won her third race of the season to lead the Eagle girls to victory. She finished her 5 kilometers in 19 minutes, 41 seconds. Fremont had its top five girls finish in the top 21 and scored 58 points. Bishop Dwenger was second with 72, followed by West Noble (98), Snider (100) and Norwell (122) to round out the top five. Sophomore Katie Culler was fourth for Fremont in 20:25. Makenna Cade was 17th in 21:40. Then freshmen rounded out the strong Eagle pack with Courtney Woosley 19th (21:50) and Riley Welch 23rd in 22:05. Leo freshman Lindsey Marriott was second in 19:54. Charger Amairany Cruz was third in 20:10. West Noble also had Yvette Rojas in 11th at 21:12 and Kennedy Jones

Colts make cuts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â€” Caesar Rayford and Delano Howell survived cutdown day with the Colts. Three former Indianapolis draft picks did not make it. Quarterback Chandler Harnish, offensive lineman Ben Ijalana and defensive tackle Drake Nevis were among 19 players waived on Saturday by the Colts, who also put three players on the waived-injured list to reach the leagueâ€™s mandated 53-man roster limit. None of the moves came as a surprise. Ijalana was a secondround pick in 2011 who was expected to solidify Indyâ€™s interior line. But he missed the final 12 games of his rookie season with a knee injury, and then re-injured the knee at training camp in 2012 and missed the entire season. Nevis, a third-round pick in 2011, made five starts as a rookie and three last season, but like Ijalana finished both seasons on injured reserve. Harnish, the final pick of last yearâ€™s draft, made the teamâ€™s active roster last season, but was inactive for the first five games and spent the rest of the season on Indyâ€™s practice squad. If he clears waivers, he could rejoin the Coltsâ€™ practice squad again. â€œYou have to be mentally tough and bounce back,â€? Harnish said after a rough start in Thursdayâ€™s preseason finale. â€œThe players that stick in this league are the ones that bounce back.â€?

Isner out at U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) â€” Trying to extend his stay at the U.S. Open, John Isner smacked a return winner, then pointed his right index finger toward the Louis Armstrong Stadium stands and circled his arm overhead, riling up the fans. Two points later, sprinting so far he nearly reached the seats, Isner hit a forehand that closed a point, punched the air and then shook his fists, doing his best Jimmy Connors imitation. Minutes after that, Isner cupped his hand to his ear, basking in the chants of â€œU-S-A! U-S-A!â€?

At Wimbledon this year, for example, no men from the United States even got to the third round. That hadnâ€™t happened since 1912 â€” when no Americans entered the tournament. Then came this news: The ATP rankings of Aug. 12 did not contain a single U.S. representative in the top 20. Never in the 40 years of menâ€™s rankings had that been the case. This edition of the U.S. Open is the 40th Grand Slam tournament since an American man won one of the sportâ€™s four most prestigious titles, a record drought that dates to Andy Roddickâ€™s 2003 championship in New York. That sort of gap used to be unimaginable for the nation of Bill Tilden and Don Budge, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.

Heights spikers 4th in home invite Westview Warriors place 2nd in home tournament to Concord BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Tournament host Prairie Heights was the lone local team to make it out of pool play at Saturday’s Prairie Heights Invitational. “It shows the caliber of teams that were here,” said Prairie Heights coach Tina Sailor. “On the day as a whole, we played great.” Elkhart Central rolled through the tournament unbeaten to claim the tournament title. NorthWood was runner-up, with Northridge placing third and the Panthers claiming fourth. East Noble was 1-2 in the tournament, while Fremont and Lakeland were each 0-3. Prairie Heights was 2-1 in pool play, defeating Lakeland 25-9, 25-9 and beating Norwell 25-17, 19-25, 15-10. NorthWood beat the Panthers 26-28, 25-19, 15-13. “We had a great game against NorthWood,” Sailor explained. “Our blockers shut down their best hitter and that was a game-changer. But we’re struggling at serving now and we need to work on finishing games.” Prairie Heights went on to face Northridge for

third place and fell 25-20, 25-18. The Panthers were able to stay with the Raiders in both sets, with Game 1 tied at 10-all and Game 2 deadlocked at 11-all. But Northridge pulled ahead in the late going of both sets for the win. “The girls have fight in them,” Sailor said. “Hopefully by the end of the year we can put the fight they have together with their talent.” Shawna Carbone had 29 kills, 35 digs and five blocks on the day for the Panthers. Tressa Terry had 72 assists, with 18 kills and three aces. Haley Kleeberg contributed 20 kills and five blocks, with 50 digs for Mckenzie Kain. East Noble’s lone win came 25-16, 25-12 over Fremont. The Knights fell 25-14, 25-14 to Elkhart Central and 25-23, 25-14 to Northridge. Along with the loss to East Noble, Fremont was defeated 25-7, 25-6 by Elkhart Central and 25-9, 25-9 by Northridge. Lakeland fell 25-5, 25-6 to Norwell and lost 25-15, 25-11 to NorthWood along with its pool play loss to Prairie Heights. Westview Invitational Westview made it to the title game of its tournament,

Castro keys Cubs’ win CHICAGO (AP) — Starlin Castro hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Cole Gillespie drove in two runs with a single and a sacrifice fly as the Cubs earned their fourth win in 20 home games since the All-Star break. Castro, Junior Lake, Wellington Castillo and Darwin Barney had two hits apiece. Castro drove a 1-0 fastball from Zach Miner (0-1) to the center field batter’s eye for his eighth homer. The leadoff drive through a steady wind was his first homer since July 31 against Milwaukee. Michael Young collected three more hits for Philadelphia, which has split its last six games. Young went 4 for 5 in the Phillies’ 6-5 victory in Friday’s series opener and is batting .588 (10 for 17) in four games against the Cubs this season.

Kevin Frandsen homered for the second straight day, giving him five on the year, but Philadelphia dropped to 9-7 under interim manager and former Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg. Carlos Villanueva (3-8) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win and Kevin Gregg got three outs for his 28th save in 33 chances. Five Cubs relievers combined for four innings of two-hit ball. It turned into a battle of the bullpens after left-handers Cliff Lee of the Phillies and Chris Rusin of the Cubs each allowed three runs, two earned, in five innings. Gillespie drove in Welington Castillo with the last of three consecutive singles in the second, tying it at 1. Castillo had a tying RBI single in the third, and Gillespie’s sacrifice fly in the fifth made it 3-3. Lee allowed nine hits, struck out four and walked three. The 2008 AL Cy

Young Award winner is 1-4 with a 3.98 ERA in his last eight starts. Frandsen gave the Phillies the lead with a line drive to left in the second, and Carlos Ruiz had a run-scoring double in the third after first baseman Anthony Rizzo committed a costly two-out error. Young made it 3-2 in the fourth with an RBI triple that got past Gillespie in the right-field corner. He also had a tiebreaking RBI single in the ninth inning in the series opener. But Young also committed an error in the third that led to Castillo’s tying hit. Notes: Phillies OF Domonic Brown struck out swinging in the ninth as a pinch hitter. The All-Star slugger was out of the starting lineup after he left the series opener due to soreness in his right Achilles tendon. “I’m probably going Philadelphia Phillies’ Kevin Frandsen is to feel it the rest of the forced out at second base by Chicago year,” Brown said.

Aggies strong with, without Manziel in beating Rice BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M’s offense was practically unstoppable, with and without Johnny Manziel. That Aggies defense needed all the help it could get against Rice. Johnny Football packed three touchdown passes into less than a half of work for the seventh-ranked Aggies, who beat Rice 52-31 in College Station, Texas, on Saturday. Manziel was held out of the first half because of what the school said was an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs. The sophomore had been investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension. He came in on Texas A&M’s first offensive play of the second half. His first play was a 12-yard run, and the Aggies capped his first drive with a 44-yard field goal. His first touchdown came on a 23-yard pass to Mike Evans on A&M’s second drive of the half. Shortly before that, he got into it with a Rice defender, appearing to mimic signing an autograph while getting

up from a tackle. He ended his day by getting yanked following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for pointing at the scoreboard after a TD pass in the fourth quarter. He was replaced by Matt Joeckel on A&M’s last drive. Manziel was one of more than a half dozen players serving suspensions Saturday. Cornerbacks Deshazor Everett and De’Vante Harris, defensive tackle Kirby Ennis, defensive end Gavin Stansbury and linebacker Steven Jenkins, all starters, sat out for Texas A&M. Everett returned in the second half, then was ejected for a targeting penalty and he’ll miss the first half of next week’s game against Sam Houston State, too. Backup safety Floyd Raven was also suspended for this game. The suspensions of Harris, Stansbury, Jenkins and receiver Edward Pope are for two games and were announced just minutes before kickoff, meaning they’ll be back for top-ranked Alabama on Sept. 14. No. 1 Alabama 35, Virginia Tech 10 In Atlanta, Christion Jones became the first Alabama player since at least the 1940s to have two returns for touchdowns, Vinnie Sunseri brought back an interception for another TD, and the Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish

offensive performance to beat Virginia Tech. Jones scored on a 72-yard punt return less than 2 minutes into the game, then scooted loose on a kickoff for a 94-yard touchdown that led the Crimson Tide (1-0) to a win that could’ve been much tougher to start its quest for an unprecedented third straight national title. For good measure, the

junior receiver also hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter to blow it open against the Hokies (0-1), who largely shut down AJ McCarron and Alabama’s highly touted offense. No. 2 Ohio State 40, Buffalo 20 In Columbus, Ohio, Braxton Miller threw two touchdown passes before

fighting leg cramps and Jordan Hall ran for two more scores to lead Ohio State to a victory over Buffalo in the season opener for both teams. The Buckeyes, striving for a crisper start from coach Urban Meyer’s debut in 2012, led 23-0 after the first quarter before the Bulls made things interesting. Joe Licata threw two TD passes and linebacker Kahlil Mack returned a Miller interception 45 yards to make it 30-20 in the third quarter. Hall had a career-high 159 yards rushing, scoring on runs of 37 and 49 yards. No. 3 Oregon 66, Nicholls 3 In Eugene, Ore., Marcus Mariota threw a touchdown pass and ran for two additional scores and the Oregon Ducks made easy work of lower-tier Nicholls. Mariota, who set an Oregon record with 38 touchdowns last season as a redshirt freshman, completed 12 of 21 passes for 234 yards before sitting after the third quarter when the Ducks had built a 45-3 lead. Mariota also ran for 113 yards for his second career game with more than 100 yards rushing. No. 10 Florida 24, Toledo 6 In Gainesville, Fla., Mack Brown had a career day, Jeff Driskel was efficient and Florida opened the season

with a victory over Toledo. Brown ran 25 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Driskel completed 17 of 22 passes for 153 yards and a score. And Florida’s defense, which ranked fifth in the country in 2012, looked every bit as good as last year’s version despite losing eight starters and its coordinator. No. 13 Oklahoma State 21, Mississippi State 3 In Houston, J.W. Walsh threw for 135 yards and ran for another 125 and a touchdown to lead the Cowboys to a win in the Texas Kickoff. No. 17 Michigan 59, Central Michigan 9 In Ann Arbor, Mich., Devin Gardner ran for two touchdowns and threw for another in the first half as Michigan went on to beat Central Michigan. It was the highest-scoring opener for the Wolverines (1-0) since 1905, when they beat Ohio Wesleyan 65-0. They will face a tougher test against No. 14 Notre Dame next week at home in a prime-time game. No. 23 Wisconsin 45, Massachusetts 0 In Madison, Wis., Melvin Gordon ran for 144 yards, James White added 143 and Wisconsin’s revamped defense pitched a shutout of Massachusetts in coach Gary Andersen’s debut.

DETROIT (AP) — Omar Infante homered twice and drove in five runs and the Detroit Tigers beat Cleveland 10-5 on Saturday. The Tigers stretched their lead in the AL Central to 8½ games over the second-place Indians. The Tigers were without slugger Miguel Cabrera due to irritation of the abdominal area. Cabrera left the two previous games early and has been hampered by a strained left abdominal for more than a month. He is day to day. Infante hit a three-run homer in the second and added a two-run shot in the sixth for Detroit, which has

beaten Cleveland seven in a row and 18 of the past 22. Yan Gomes homered in the seventh and Carlos Santana added a two-run inside-the park home run for the Indians, who lost their fifth straight. Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez (12-7) got the win. He allowed three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings, walking one and striking out five. Sanchez was replaced by Drew Smyly after Gomes’ home run with two outs in the seventh made it 6-3. Smyly got the final out and Jose Veras pitched the eighth, allowing Santana’s inside-the park, two-run homer to make it 6-5.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Garcia in Deutsch Bank lead NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Sergio Garcia opened with five birdies in seven holes, closed with an eagle, and wound up as the guy everyone was chasing Saturday at the Deutsche Bank Championship. By everyone, that means 28 players within six shots of his lead with 36 holes to play. And somehow, that includes Phil Mickelson. On another day of soft conditions and plenty of birdies on the TPC Boston, Garcia had a 7-under 64 during a cool, cloudy morning that stood up for the 36-hole lead when the long and wild afternoon was over. The Spaniard was at 13-under 129, one short of the tournament record. He had a one-shot lead over Roberto Castro and Henrik Stenson. Tiger Woods, in the 1-2-3 grouping with Mickelson and Adam Scott that attracted a massive crowd standing three-deep in spots, made a 35-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 67 and was among those within six shots of the lead. Mickelson, however, managed to steal the show with a 71. And this was no ordinary 71. “I was playing terrible, and I shot even par,” Mickelson said. “I could easily have shot myself out of the tournament. I got it in the hazard I don’t know how many times. If I go on and play the way I believe I’m going to this weekend, I’m going to look back at those nine holes as the key to the entire tournament.” Lefty went on some kind of crazy ride, completely losing his swing during one stretch when he looked closer to hitting Rhode Island than hitting a fairway. He drove left into the hazard on No. 9, way right into the hazard on No. 10 and would have found another hazard on the par-3 11th except for hitting a tree. He hit into the gallery to the left on No. 12 and into the gallery to the right on No. 13. His tee shot on the par-3 16th came up short and into the water for double bogey. Mickelson closed with two birdies for a 71 and was five shots behind. During a two-week spat with Woods that began at The Players Championship, Garcia jokingly said during a Q-and-A at an awards dinner in London that he would invite Woods over during for dinner during the U.S. Open and serve fried chicken. He apologized the next day, though he was clearly rattled. Garcia hasn’t finished in the top 20 since. “Everything has been kind of a little difficult, but it’s good,” Garcia said. “It’s been a good learning experience. So I think that you always have to try to take the positives out of all those things and learn from your mistakes. And hopefully, (they) make you a better player, a better person.”

Pirates regain NL Central lead PITTSBURGH (AP) — A.J. Burnett scattered four hits over seven innings, Russell Martin hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 on Saturday night to regain sole possession of the NL Central lead. Neil Walker added three hits for the Pirates, who improved to 79-56 and moved within three victories of their first winning season since 1992. Burnett (7-9) gave up one run while striking out six and walking one. He received plenty of offensive help only hours after Pittsburgh acquired first baseman Justin Morneau from the Minnesota Twins. Morneau arrived in the Pirates’ dugout in the sixth inning. By then Pittsburgh had things well in hand. Martin keyed a five-run second with his drive off Lance Lynn (13-9). The trade for Morneau marked the second big move by the Pirates in five days as they try to beat out St. Louis and Cincinnati in baseball’s tightest division race. Pittsburgh brought in Marlon Byrd and John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday.

Peavy beats old ChiSox club BOSTON (AP) — Jake Peavy pitched seven strong innings against his former team, Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 7-2 on Saturday night for their sixth win in seven games. Ellsbury also scored twice and drove in a run for the AL East-leaders. David Ortiz, who snapped an 0-for-23 stretch with a two-run single in Friday’s win, went 2 for 4 with a walk and an RBI in Boston’s 15-hit attack. Acquired in a three-team, seven-player deal on July 30 that sent Boston infielder Jose Iglesias to Detroit, Peavy spent four seasons with the White Sox. The 32-year old right-hander went 36-29 after being picked up in a trade from San Diego on July 31, 2009. Chicago, last in the AL Central, had won 10 of 12 before dropping the first two of a three-game series against Boston. Peavy (11-5) allowed two runs and five singles in his sixth start for the Red Sox. He struck out four and walked one while throwing 109 pitches. Boston broke open a tie game with three runs in the fourth against John Danks (4-11), and then scored again in the fifth. Ellsbury’s tiebreaking ground-rule double gave the Red Sox a 3-2 lead. Dustin Pedroia then drove in run with a groundout before Ortiz lined an RBI single to left. Rookie Xander Bogaerts, regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball, added an RBI single in the fifth that made it 6-2.

Applications being taken for Best Place to Work INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for the state’s annual competition naming the “Best Places to Work in Indiana.” In its ninth year, this program honors top companies in the state as determined through employer reports and comprehensive employee surveys. Companies need to have at least 15 Hoosier employees to be eligible. Out-of-state parent companies are also eligible to participate if at least 15 full-time employees are in Indiana. In 2013, a new tier of categories was unveiled due to the unprecedented number of honorees and to better represent the distinct employer groups in the state. That continues, with winners to be selected from four groups: small companies of between 15 and 74 U.S. employees; medium companies of between 75 and 249 U.S. employees; large companies of between 250 and 999 U.S. employees; and major companies with 1,000 or more U.S. employees. The application deadline is Nov. 22. To apply, visit bestplacestoworkIN.com. “We had an impressive

list of businesses chosen as Best Places to Work in 2013 and we want to see even more companies honored in the coming year,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar. “We know there are many employers — large and small — in Indiana who go above and beyond for their employees. We’d like to recognize them for that important effort.” Last year, a record 100 companies were honored. All participating organizations will receive an in-depth evaluation identifying strengths and weaknesses, according to their employees. Whether or not the company is selected as a Best Place to Work, the report can be used in developing or enhancing employee retention and recruitment programs. The Best Companies Group, which has overseen similar programs in other states and large cities, is responsible for the selection process. The program is presented by Comcast Business Class. The selected companies will be honored on Thursday, May 1, 2014, at the Best Places to Work awards dinner in downtown Indianapolis. Winners will also be recognized

via a special supplement to the Indiana Chamber’s bimonthly BizVoice® magazine and through Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick – both of which reach statewide audiences. Program partners with the Indiana Chamber and BizVoice® are Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick, the Indiana SHRM Council, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and Best Companies Group. Silver sponsors are: Elfcu, Eli Lilly Federal Credit Union; Jackson Lewis; Matrix Integration, LLC; and Smithville Communications, Inc. Additional sponsorships are available by contacting Jim Wagner at jwagner@ indianachamber.com or call (317) 264-6876. Top “Best Places to Work in Indiana” winners in 2013 were Hollingsworth & Zivitz P.C. of Carmel (for the second year in a row) in the small category; Indianapolis’ Somerset CPAs in the medium category; Sikich, LLP of Indianapolis in the large category; and Indianapolis-based Microsoft Corporation in the major category (a third straight win for the company).

olis as a greedy octopus, reaching out in all directions to dominate its neighbors. One task for the local chamber, therefore, is to demonstrate real regional interest and a generous understanding of the many smaller communities of the state. This is not easy to do when the rest of the state is fundamentally hostile to the leading growth center of the state. That hostility is consistent with the long-term anti-urban bias Hoosiers have exhibited and with the contemporary competitive atmosphere concerning economic development. The absence of a state policy on economic development addressing geographic competition is a handicap. Perhaps Michael Huber has some friends in the Pence administration that can help. Clearly, Huber must satisfy the traditional expectations of a chamber executive. In addition, he needs to navigate a vessel with three flapping wings and set an example for other chambers statewide caught in similar circumstances. MORTON J. MARCUS is an independent economist, speaker and writer formerly with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

B&B Tattoo opens in Butler BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com

BUTLER — Heather Bonifer has drawn and painted as long as she can remember. While paper and canvas were — and continue to be her primary media — she has added another form of expression to her pallet, opening B&B Tattoo at 108 E. Oak St. earlier this month. Opening the business came at the urging of Bonifer’s daughter and her daughter’s fiance. “They were going to do it, and they encouraged me to try it,” Heather Bonifer explained. “I had thought about doing it years and years ago, but I just never did it. Bonifer’s husband John pitched in by buying a tattooing kit. “I’ve been very busy,” she said, shortly after putting the finishing touches on a tattoo for Tom Davis. While tattoo artists can sanitize tips and needles, Bonifer prefers to use new ones for each and every client. She bases her fees on the complexity of the design. Before she begins inking a design, Bonifer makets sure the client is ready to

proceed. “Take time to think about what you want,” Bonifer said. “Make sure where you want it.” Business hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Additional

hours are by appointment by calling 908-5739. “I love doing it,” she said. “My kids are older and in school now. I’m not in it to get rich. I’m in it because I like it.”

Gold prices make comeback BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gold is having a summer revival. The price of gold touched $1,420 an ounce this week, a three-and-a-half month high, as escalating tensions in the Middle East, volatile currency markets and renewed demand for jewelry in China and India pushed prices higher. Gold has surged 15 percent since sinking to $1,212 an ounce, its lowest level in almost three years, on June 27. A gain of 20 percent or more would put the metal back in a bull

market. Gold’s resurgence follows a rough ride this year. Gold slumped 4.8 percent in the first three months of 2013 as the outlook for the economy improved while inflation remained subdued. For many years prior to that, large investors, like hedge funds, bought the metal as a way to protect their investments against rising prices and a slumping dollar. They feared that the Federal Reserve’s stimulus program could cause prices to rise.

Cobles hold niche in antique furniture world BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

he eclectic life of Dan and Marlene Coble takes them on the road and off the beaten path. The Cobles, of rural Fremont, decorate and sometimes design furniture in the old American style. This year, Dan won the highest award as a traditional artisan in the Directory of Traditional American Crafts. His work is showcased in the August issue of Early American Life.

Marlene Coble works on a sunflower. She paints in traditional American themes with a variety of mediums.

The judges look for authentic design and workmanship, whether the piece is a faithful reproduction or the artisan’s interpretation of period style,” said Tess Rosch, publisher of Early American Life. “Scholarship, as well as use of period tools and techniques, is particularly valued in this competition.” In his unpretentious studio — a garage off the couple’s restored farm house home — Coble practices brush strokes that mirror the painting techniques of early America. He uses earth tones and traditional motifs. He and Marlene — whose studio is in the basement — purchase period pieces then restore and embellish them. Their work is held in a number of austere private collections. The piece featured in Early American Life is an 1850s-era chest of drawers with oil paint and putty faux grain. Featuring Prussian blue and umber, the bright colors make it splashy and unusual, but in keeping with the decor of the time. “It’s a very small niche of people that do what we do,” said Dan, who describes SEE AMERICANA, PAGE C2

This Pennsylvania Dutch inspired chair is painted in traditional colors and markings with a goldfinch painted on the back. The set includes six chairs, each with a different bird.

Below, this example of “school girl art” created by Marlene Coble is part of her and her husband, Dan’s continuing immersion in old American art.

Always artists The Cobles met in Marlene’s hometown of Indianapolis, where both attended the Herron School

of Art, married in 1968 and operated an antique and custom frame shop in Dan’s hometown of Wabash before finding their way to Steuben County in 1988. They ran a small manufacturing business on McKinley Street in Angola through the ’90s, where they made classic reproductions of lamps and other accessories used by companies such as Lands End and L.L. Bean. They closed the shop in 2001, deciding they were more suited to being artists than managing a shop. They returned to their roots, “perpetuating traditional

One of their favorite examples, a dresser detailed with a circus theme, came from a barn in Pleasant Lake. A woman entered their drive one day with it in the bed of a pickup truck and asked if they wanted it. Dan, whose father was a construction contractor, rebuilt the eroding base.

through the end of the Civil War were often the only art in a home. One of the first pieces of furniture was the chest — which held almost all of one’s belongings. The paint was a preservative but also a bit of color. Dan emulates the Pennsylvania Dutch traditions, and claims a Pennsylvania Dutch lineage. Marlene comes from the Pennsylvania German sect, and said she loves painting birds. Both have their hands in set of kitchen chairs they recently were commissioned to do. Dan restored and decorated the chairs with brilliant markings. On the backs, Marlene is painting birds, a different bird for

each chair.

Painting passion “This is kind of our love, I guess,” said Marlene. “Dan in particular had always loved antiques.” Following the patriotic revival of the bicentennial in 1976, the Cobles found their Americana roots in the early 1980s. D.R. Coble and Co. was started in 1988, offering fine and decorative arts, paintings and one-of-a-kind painted furniture. Their specialties include grain painting, stenciling and free-hand painting. They sell their work primarily through trade shows. Their schedule this

year took them to Philadelphia in March, Maryland and Pennsylvania in May; and Lebanon, Ohio, in July. In September, they will be at the Bedminster 2013 Traditional Artisan Show in Bedminster, Pa. They have four more major shows scheduled through the end of the year. They travel with a truck and a 14-foot trailer, hauling their showpiece furniture and accessories along with everything to make a booth look like a room decorated in high-end Americana, complete with wooden floors and track lighting. Life on the road takes its toll, the Cobles admitted, but they have friends throughout the nation and have been immersed in the antique world of New England and beyond. Marlene said “all the different stories” they’ve heard over the years from tradesfolk have been inspiring. She said people in their niche are very supportive of one another. Dan’s work has been featured in Fine Furniture magazine and will be in the Old House Journal in October. The Cobles are online at drcobleandcompany.com, coblespaintedworld.blogspot.com and on Facebook. They have two sons, Christoper Coble and Kyle Coble of Auburn, and two granddaughters.

Church group returns from mission trip BUTLER â€” The Butler United Methodist Church youth group, along with several adults, recently returned from a mission trip at Red Bird Missions in Beverley, Ky. The group â€” eight adults and 10 students â€” spent July 28 to Aug. 3 at the mission. They were split into two groups. One group traveled 45 minutes each day to reach their job site, where they helped a homeowner fix all her plumbing so she could have hot water, as well as other maintenance items. The other group went to help paint a house for teachers who teach at the Red Bird Mission Christian School. While helping others, the mission group had to combat an invasion of fleas, but it was a very rewarding experience for everyone involved. The church held vacation Bible school in July, and money collected from that event went toward school supplies for Red Bird Mission School. Not only were the youth of the church involved, younger children not able to go on the mission were able to help as well.

Parents also need relief from back to school stress As Hoosiers focus on back to school activities, parents may experience stress over another school year. Fitting in time to help with homework, attend sporting events and furnish transportation, along with the expense of school supplies and clothes can cause anxiety. Thereâ€™s also the challenge of helping children adjust socially to a new setting, new people and normal growing pains. For parents who experience stress as the school year gears up, there are a wide variety of recommendations on how to manage â€“ even end â€“ Many KATIE stress. of these BROWN recommendations point to a spiritual approach to handling this common mental or emotional strain from demanding circumstances. Proven spiritual stress relievers include to pray often, express gratitude, and to be optimistic. Parents who are optimists believe in themselves and their abilities. They expect good things to happen, and this can reduce or eliminate their stress. To them the glass is always half-full not half-empty. Studies show that those who regularly attend religious services are more optimistic. Dr. Roberta Lee, author of The Super Stress Solution, notes, â€œResearch shows that people who are more religious or spiritual

â€˘

use their spirituality to cope with life.â€? Among the research she cites, a study of Canadian adult college students, connected to their college ministries, who were better equipped at handling stress. Some doctors say hope is the ultimate stress reliever. Shane Lopez, author of â€œMaking Hope Happen,â€? says â€œhope may buffer us from stress, anxiety, and the effects of negative life events.â€? Researchers have identified that attending to spirituality, activated through religious, spiritual and other contemplative practices, is a pathway to hope. Dr. Harold Koenig, associate professor of medicine and psychiatry at Duke University, found through research for his book â€œHandbook of Religion and Healthâ€? that faith gives people hope. It follows that parents with a spiritual foundation experience greater hope, and that can help them relieve or end stress. These words of American Poet John Greenleaf Whittier helped me find peace when the stress of a new school year seemed overwhelming: â€œDrop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from us now the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace.â€? KATIE S. BROWN lives in Fort Wayne and writes regularly about spirituality and health. She is also a Christian Science practitioner and teacher and the media and legislative liaison for Christian Science in Indiana.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2013

Loan was Use tomatoes, corn in fresh salsa forgiven, but not forgotten

DEAR ABBY: Twenty years ago, my oldest sister, “Olivia,” loaned me $3,000 at a time when I was struggling to make ends meet. I promised to repay the loan at the end of the year. The time came and I wrote her a check for the full amount, but she didn’t cash it. She said she didn’t need the money and the loan was forgiven. Fast-forward 20 years: While Olivia has remained financially stable, I am now in a better place financially because of an inheritance. After learning about this inheritance, Olivia asked me for the money back! Because I can afford it, I plan on repaying her, but I can’t get over her surprising request. Do you have any words of wisdom to help me make sense of this? — UNSETTLED SIBLING DEAR UNSETTLED: Your sister may have forgiven the loan all those years ago because she thought repaying her would have caused you financial stress. Now that she knows you’re well able to give her the money, she would like to have it. You and I don’t know why she’s asking for it, but trust me, there is ALWAYS a reason. DEAR ABBY: I have been talking to “Ricky” for about two months. I’m 28 and he is 27. A couple of weeks ago we decided to date exclusively. This morning, Ricky found out that his ex is three months’ pregnant with his child. I knew he was last intimate with her three months ago, but we were both kind of shocked. I don’t have kids and I prefer not to date men who do, let alone one who has a baby on the way. However, I do care about Ricky and could definitely see us together. After this bombshell, I’m not sure what I want to do. Any advice would be appreciated. — THROWN FOR A LOOP IN PHILADELPHIA DEAR THROWN FOR A LOOP: After this bombshell, the person who has some serious decisions to make is Ricky. Will this cause him to reunite with his ex-girlfriend? Is the baby really his child? If so, what will be his responsibility financially and morally? If he stays with you, do you WANT to help raise another woman’s child? Until you have a better idea of what lies ahead, my advice is to do nothing. You have known Ricky for only two months, and while you could see a future for the two of you, can you also see one that includes the three — or FOUR — of you? I’m including the ex in the equation, because she’ll be a part of it. Forever. DEAR ABBY: I quit drinking three years ago. I realized I had a problem, addressed it, and I’m now sober. I never was a big drinker socially. I drank alone. When I go out with friends for dinner, they usually rack up a large liquor bill, which is evenly split. Occasionally, I’ll ask that the liquor portion of the bill be subtracted from my tab, but doing so makes me feel awkward. I enjoy going out with these people, but I don’t want to add another 20 to 25 percent to my tab. What’s your advice for addressing this situation? — SOBER IN THE SOUTH DEAR SOBER: Congratulations on your sobriety. A way to avoid being charged for the liquor your friends consume would be to quietly advise the server at the start of the dinner that you would like a separate check.

The garden is still producing lots of vegetables. Today we made 18 quarts of spaghetti sauce and another 11 quarts of tomato juice. While the girls cut up all the vegetables I sewed a dress and shirt. Still need to put button holes and buttons on the shirt. Nights still seem empty with Verena and Loretta not home from 3 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. They are still staying those hours with 93-year-old Vivian. The new fence is up and the horses and ponies are having a blast eating all the grass. This makes less chores for the boys since they don’t have to feed hay to the horses mornings and evenings. It is also a lot cheaper since the price of hay is still quite high. The fence and gates were up by 3 p.m. so everyone went home to get cleaned up. My husband Joe and Mose (Susan’s boyfriend) grilled 50 pounds of chicken and also grilled wings to make Buffalo hot wings. Also on the menu for supper were mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, corn, mixed vegetables, cole slaw, sliced tomatoes, bread, Swiss roll bars, cherry pie, peach cobbler, oatmeal cookies,

popcorn and ice cream. All the dessert was brought in except the ice cream. Little Prancer is getting fat from all the green grass. Daughter Susan is taking him for exercise by running down the road with him. She has also taught him a few tricks. He listens very well to her. Minnie, his mother, has gone back to owner. THE her Prancer AMISH didn’t seem COOK to mind much and follows his Lovina Eicher Dad, Tiger, around everywhere in the field. Not having Minnie here to drive and ride has brought a few tears from 9-year-old Lovina. She gets so attached to these ponies. She wants to try and ride Tiger but he is still a little rowdy for her. He isn’t a stallion any more so he should be settling down soon. We received a letter from brother Amos and Nancy

last week. They want to have all my siblings and families for our annual get-together. Amos plans to have a hog roast for us all on Labor Day. School doors will open the next day. The family has grown since last year with more babies being added and more special friends. Then in October my cousin Dave is having a reunion at his house for my mother’s side of the family. This will be a huge gathering by now. We will have several cousins missing since the last time we were all together. Also two more of mother’s siblings have passed since. There are currently four of mom’s eight siblings still living. This is now Friday morning and this column is still not out in the mail. Susan is filling the wash machine and rinse tubs with water and gathering laundry. I need to go help her. Verena and Loretta are washing dishes. Lovina is helping Susan. Joe is still on a four day work week so he is home today. There is plenty to do outside for him and the boys. Elizabeth is working at the RV factory. God’s Blessings!

Buying could be best choice for renter not planning to move DEAR BRUCE: I live in Seattle and pay about $3,100 a month in rent. I am thinking about buying a one-bedroom apartment that would cost about $400,000, along with the monthly maintenance fees of $1,200. Do you think I should buy or continue to rent? — Karen, via email DEAR KAREN: Take a breath! You are paying $3,100 a month, $37,000 a year in rent. That is a major expense. On the other hand, buying the apartment is going to cost you around 4 percent on the $400,000, plus maintenance fees and some other expenses. It looks like a wash. Given that, if you are intending to stay where you are, the likelihood is that your rent is going to

increase, and the value of the apartment will increase, as well. I will take a deep breath and say I think you would be better off SMART to buy. If, MONEY however, you may be moving in the near Bruce Williams future, continue to rent.

DEAR BRUCE: My mom is 77 years old and has about $150,000 invested in the stock market. It has suffered over the last

year despite conservative choices. She sells it off a little at a time to supplement her $13,000-a-year Social Security income. I have tried to get her to pull the money out of the market, but she has always said that she would be hit with large capital gains if she sells off a lot at a time. What do you think? — Larry, via email DEAR LARRY: I am wondering what your mother has invested in and how much has she suffered over the last year, despite relatively conservative choices. The market has done extremely well in the last year. I think a proper review of her portfolio is called for. That having been observed, I don’t think it’s wise for her to pull her

money out of the market without regard to any capital gains she may have if she sells off the entire amount. I would strongly urge that her whole portfolio be re-examined. The fact that she lost money in a very strong market says that the choices she has made need to be reviewed. Send your questions to: Smart Money, P.O. Box 2095, Elfers, FL 34680.

I basically chop up whatever veggies are hanging around in the fridge and toss them in a pan to saute. Then I add a package of ground beef (a little less than a pound; I usually keep pre-cooked ground beef in the freezer). Season with salt, pepper, garlic and whatever herb floats your boat. Then I make a quick sauce with soy, broth and cornstarch to thicken, pour in the pan and stir until thick. I serve this on mashed potatoes, rice or noodles. You can also

Lasers could cause epidemic of eye injuries There are lots of eye doctors to whom I refer patients and defer the vast amount of care for those complex organs. However, it is not uncommon for people to show up at our emergency room with eye injuries, especially with scratches or foreign material in their eyes. Even when eye protection is worn, it does not prevent little pieces of debris from blowing into the eye and becoming stuck in the cornea (the clear part of the eyeball) or under the eyelid. If that should happen to you, it is a great idea to rinse your eye with clean water immediately. However, if that does not solve the problem, do not wait for several days before seeking care, especially if the foreign body in your eye might be metal. We can usually numb the eyeball with eye drops and fix the problem quite rapidly and simply. But if the metal in the eye is not removed soon, it might rust and make the treatment much

more complex, possibly even leaving a permanent tattoo on the eye. In addition to eye injuries due to foreign bodies and scratches, there are also too DR. TERRY many times when the GAFF eye is struck by a flying object (or sometimes, a fist). Blunt trauma like this can cause bleeding inside the eye and other problems that should be evaluated and treated right away to minimize the chance of long-term problems such as glaucoma and vision loss. You probably already know that eye protection should be worn during sports like racquetball because the ball travels at a high rate of speed and is just the right size to get past the bony rim

around the eye. Also, eye protection should be used when hammering, sawing, grinding, or otherwise creating debris in the air. One of the eye dangers that might surprise you is the use of bungee cords. If the end of the bungee cord breaks or comes loose while you are stretching the cord, it can fly back into the eye with significant force and speed. This may be blunt trauma to the eye, but it can also lacerate the eyeball. It is something to keep in mind when you fasten something down with bungees.

Handheld lasers a danger to the eyes Eyes are not only vulnerable to physical injuries. In fact, experts predict that, if left unregulated, handheld lasers purchased online could cause an epidemic of eye injuries. They are being sold as toys and are not expensive. So children, especially teens,

are buying them, playing with them, and injuring their eyes. In a presentation to the American Society of Retina Specialists, a series of 14 patients, with a mean age of 17 years, were seen because of laser exposure. Their eye exams revealed full-thickness holes in the macula (nerve layer in the back of the eye at the center of the visual field) in four eyes, bleeding inside the eye in seven cases, and other serious injuries in the others. Ten eyes required surgery to achieve improvement in their vision. The other four eyes improved with observation alone. The report of these injuries was from Saudi Arabia, where about two years ago, they started seeing these injuries every few weeks or so in young patients who would present to the emergency room. At first, they thought the injuries were due to laser pointers much like the ones used during lectures.

However, it turned out that they were caused by handheld lasers, which had much higher power than other class four lasers. Because of that power, they caused a lot of damage, even with a very brief exposure. The lasers also had a wavelength of 450 nanometers. Because of this blue wavelength, the laser light is absorbed into an area where it can burn the retina at the back of the eyeball. The initial best-corrected vision in the injured eyes averaged 20/290, and the final best-corrected vision in all cases averaged 20/40. In fact, all patients had some improvement in visual acuity and were not completely blinded by the lasers. I do not know how many injuries have been reported here in the U.S. with the blue laser, but there have been similar injuries from the YAG laser used for hair removal. So caution should be used with all high-power lasers.

Although the hope is that this will lead to changes in the regulation of handheld laser sales, it is apparently very hard to ban Internet sales. So I am writing about this to warn you to avoid these high-power blue handheld lasers. After all, you need to preserve your vision so you can continue to read this column. DR. TERRY GAFF practiced

Some school districts quitting healthier lunch program THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After just one year, some schools around the country are dropping out of the healthier new federal lunch program, complaining that so many students turned up their noses at meals packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables that the cafeterias were losing money. Federal officials say they don’t have exact numbers but have seen isolated reports of schools cutting ties with the $11 billion National School Lunch Program, which reimburses schools for meals served and gives them access to lower-priced food. Districts that rejected the program say the reimbursement was not enough to offset losses from students who began avoiding the lunch line and bringing food from home or, in some cases, going hungry. “Some of the stuff we had to offer, they wouldn’t eat,” said Catlin, Ill., Superintendent Gary Lewis, whose district saw a 10 to 12 percent drop in lunch sales, translating to $30,000 lost under the program last year. “So you sit there and watch the kids, and you know they’re hungry at the end of the day, and that led to some behavior and some lack of attentiveness.” In upstate New York, a few districts have quit the program, including the Schenectady-area Burnt Hills Ballston Lake system, whose five lunchrooms ended the year $100,000 in the red. Near Albany, Voorheesville Superintendent Teresa Thayer Snyder said her district lost $30,000 in the first three months. The program didn’t even make it through the school year after students repeatedly complained about the small portions and apples and pears went from the tray to the trash untouched. Districts that leave the program are free to develop

their own guidelines. Voorheesville’s chef began serving such dishes as salad topped with flank steak and crumbled cheese, pasta with chicken and mushrooms, and a panini with chicken, red peppers and cheese. In Catlin, soups and fish sticks will return to the menu this year, and the hamburger lunch will come with yogurt and a banana — not one or the other, like last year. Nationally, about 31 million students participated in the guidelines that took effect last fall under the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Dr. Janey Thornton, deputy undersecretary for USDA’s Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services, which oversees the program, said she is aware of reports of districts quitting but is still optimistic about the program’s long-term prospects. “The vast majority of schools across the country are meeting the updated meal standards successfully, which is so important to help all our nation’s children lead healthier lives,” Thornton said. “Many of these children have never seen or tasted some of the fruits and vegetables that are being served before, and it takes a while to adapt and learn,” she said. The agency had not determined how many districts have dropped out, Thornton said, cautioning that “the numbers that have threatened to drop and the ones that actually have dropped are quite different.” The School Nutrition Association found that 1 percent of 521 district nutrition directors surveyed over the summer planned to drop out of the program in the 2013-14 school year and about 3 percent were considering the move.

A select healthy chicken salad school lunch, prepared under federal guidelines, sits on display Sept. 11, 2012, at the cafeteria at Draper Middle School in Rotterdam, N.Y. After just one year, some schools across the nation are dropping out of what was touted as a healthier federal lunch program, complaining that so many students refused the meals packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

A tour group waits for an interactive experience to begin before entering the vault chamber containing the “secret recipe” for Coca-Cola at the World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta on Aug. 9. The 127-year-

old recipe for Coke sits inside an imposing steel vault that’s bathed in red security lights, while security cameras monitor the area to make sure the fizzy formula stays a secret.

Is Coke’s 127-year-old recipe the same? Not quite ATLANTA (AP) — Coca-Cola keeps the recipe for its 127-year-old soda inside an imposing steel vault that’s bathed in red security lights. Several cameras monitor the area to make sure the fizzy formula stays a secret. But in one of the many signs that the surveillance is as much about theater as reality, the images that pop up on video screens are of smiling tourists waving at themselves. “It’s a little bit for show,” concedes a guard at the World of Coca-Cola museum in downtown Atlanta, where the vault is revealed at the end of an exhibit in a puff of smoke. The ability to push a quaint narrative about a product’s origins and fuel a sense of nostalgia can help drive billions of dollars in sales. That’s invaluable at a time when food makers face greater competition from smaller players and cheaper supermarket store brands that appeal to cash-strapped Americans. It’s why companies such as Coca-Cola and Twinkies’ owner Hostess play up the notion that their recipes are sacred, unchanging documents that need to be closely guarded. As it turns out, some recipes have changed over time, while others may not have. Either way, they all stick to the same script that their formulas have remained the same. John Ruff, who formerly headed research & development at Kraft Foods, said companies often recalibrate ingredients for various reasons, including new regulations, fluctuations in

• commodity costs and other issues that impact mass food production. “It’s almost this mythological thing, the secret formula,” said the president of the Institute of Food Technologists, which studies the science of food. “I would be amazed if formulas (for big brands) haven’t changed.” This summer, the Twinkies cream-filled cakes many Americans grew up snacking on made a comeback after being off shelves for about nine months following the bankruptcy of Hostess Brands. At the time, the new owners promised the spongy yellow cakes would taste just like people remember. A representative for Hostess, Hannah Arnold, said in an email that Twinkies today are “remarkably close to the original recipe.” Yet a box of Twinkies now lists more than 25 ingredients and has a shelf-life of 45 days, almost three weeks longer than the 26 days from just a year ago. That suggests the ingredients have been tinkered with, to say the least, since they were created in 1930. “When Twinkies first came out they were largely made from fresh ingredients,” notes Steve Ettlinger,

author of “Twinkie, Deconstructed,” which traced the roots of the cake’s many modern-day industrial ingredients. For its part, KFC says it still strictly follows the recipe created in 1940 by its famously bearded founder, Colonel Harland Sanders. The chain understood the power of marketing early on, with Sanders originally dying his beard white to achieve a more grandfatherly look. Fast forward to 2009, when KFC decided the security for the handwritten copy of the recipe needed a flashy upgrade. It installed a 770-pound safe that is under constant video and motion-detection surveillance and surrounded by two feet of concrete on every side — just in case any would-be thieves try to dig a tunnel to get it. KFC may very well be following the basic instructions of the recipe encased in the vault. But the fanfare around its founder’s instructions is despite his disapproval of the new owners of the chain after he sold his stake in the company in 1964. In his book, for example, Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, a friend of Sanders’, recounts

how the colonel was annoyed because they came up with a simpler way to drain grease off the chicken by dumping it onto wire racks, rather than ladling the grease off by hand. Sanders apparently hated the new system because it bruised the chicken. According to the book, Sanders was afraid the new owners would ruin the chicken because he said they “didn’t know a drumstick from a pig’s ear.” A KFC spokesman, Rick Maynard, said the issue over the grease was indicative of Sanders’ hands-on approach even after selling the business. Maynard said the important parts of the recipe are the seasoning, using fresh chicken on the bone, hand breading according to standards and frying under pressure. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the nation’s No. 1 and 2 soda makers, respectively, also are known for touting the roots of their recipes. In the book “Secret Formula,” which was published in 1994 and drew from interviews with former executives and access to Coca-Cola’s corporate archives, reporter Frederick Allen noted that multiple changes were made to the formula over the years. For instance, Allen noted that that the soda once contained trace amounts of cocaine as a result of the coca leaves in the ingredients, as well as four times the amount of caffeine. In an emailed statement, Coca-Cola said its secret formula has remained the same since it was invented in 1886 and that cocaine has “never been an added ingredient” in its soda.

SARATOGA, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming is famous for Yellowstone and Grand Teton. But a wide valley of fragrant, gnarled sagebrush around the upper waters of the North Platte River offers another way to experience the state. Bordered by the Sierra Madre and Medicine Bow mountains just north of the Colorado line in southeast Wyoming, the North Platte River Valley used to be the exclusive domain of cattle ranchers descended from homesteaders. These days, the area is home to some very wealthy people — as evidenced by private jets at the tiny airport and new mansions. Annie Proulx, famous author of “Brokeback Mountain,” a few years ago wrote a book about her sanctuary home, Bird Cloud, overlooking the river. The valley’s largest town, Saratoga, population 1,700, offers lodging, restaurants and even shopping options for anybody’s budget. But there are also plenty of free ways to experience the backcountry wilderness in every season, from warm-weather hikes in the vast Medicine Bow National Forest to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing followed by a soak in a hot spring as snow falls.

Saratoga National Fish Hatchery Anglers revere the North Platte River as a blue-ribbon trout stream, but a fishing license runs $14 a day for non-Wyoming residents. Gear and a guide cost a lot more than that. Leave the river fish to nap in their chilly holes and go check out the hundreds of lake, brown and rainbow trout kept for breeding at the 102-year-old Saratoga National Fish Hatchery. The hatchery helps restore native trout populations from coast to coast, including lake trout to the Great Lakes. Huge brood stock trout swim lazily up and down long, narrow pools called raceways. Their single, noble mission in life is to produce eggs, sperm and fingerlings. The hatchery also breeds the humble and highly endangered Wyoming toad for release in ponds

A recent remodeling added a not-so-hot pool where the temperature averages only 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius). The pool is half a mile or less (.8 kilometers) away from most of Saratoga’s hotels. It’s a pleasant stroll during the summer but don’t defeat the purpose in winter. Drive there instead.

and lakes east of the Medicine Bow Mountains. Located a couple miles (kilometers) north of Saratoga on a good gravel road, the hatchery is open to the public year-round.

Wildlife Deer like Saratoga. They’re all over town. They browse on shrubbery and mangle chain-link fences as they leap from yard to yard. Drive slowly and take care not to hit one. Out in the open country, keep an eye out for herds of pronghorn, better known as antelope. They are North America’s fastest land animal. Their white and tawny hides provide almost perfect camouflage. Golden and bald eagles are common sights as they hunt trout along rivers and creeks. Up in the mountains, elk are numerous but bashful, especially during fall hunting season. Spotting a moose or two the color of dark chocolate, grazing in a mucky meadow, is more likely. Never approach moose. They might seem as mellow as

Bullwinkle, the old-time cartoon character, but they number among Wyoming’s most dangerous wildlife. A 1,000-pound (450-kilo) bull during mating season has no sense of humor. Black bears are plentiful, also, and mountain lions. Be knowledgeable and alert but don’t fear the backcountry just because of them. Attacks on people by these animals are very rare in Wyoming. Appreciate the smaller critters, too: a coyote on the prowl, hummingbirds or a yellow-bellied marmot. A few days here without seeing wildlife would be unusual.

Hobo Pool Saratoga is known for its hot springs, including the waters at the Saratoga Resort & Spa — but you have to be a guest to enjoy them. That’s OK: The Hobo Pool, owned and maintained by the town behind the public swimming pool, is free and never closes. The colder and snowier the weather, the better for enjoying a soak in the Hobo Pool, where the water averages between 106 and 119 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest water bubbles in from a separate portion of the pool called the Lobster Pot. Half the fun of visiting the Hobo Pool is watching brave souls attempt a dip in the Lobster Pot.

Medicine Bow National Forest has hundreds of miles (kilometers) of trails. The most scenic is just 3.2 miles (5 kilometers) round trip. Not that this hike with 1,300 feet (400 meters) of gain to the summit of 12,014-foot (3,663-meter) Medicine Bow Peak — highest in southern Wyoming — is any slouch. The trail begins amid alpine lakes and wildflowers and zigzags up the treeless mountainside to panoramic views of a wide swath of the Rocky Mountains. Later in the year, try the Encampment River Trail that begins in a sagebrush-and-cottonwood canyon a few miles (kilometers) outside Encampment, population 450, at the south end of the North Platte Valley. The trail follows the pristine Encampment River upstream to the Encampment River Wilderness, where it enters dense spruce and fir and steepens as it traces the roaring river toward its source. Day hikers should allow plenty of time to turn around. The full 16 miles (26 kilometers) of this trail is better covered on a multi-day backpacking trip.

Winter Trails Snowmobiling is popular in southeast Wyoming but your own legs can provide a much cheaper and infinitely more Zen experience. Mazes of trails off-limits to snowmobiles are groomed near the points where each highway over the Medicine Bow and Sierra Madre mountains has closed for the winter.

Older brides like fancy gowns, garter belts and DJs NEW YORK (AP) — SherryLynne Heller-Wells always wanted a fairytale wedding. So when she tied the knot last year, she spared no detail. She walked down the aisle in a flowing ivory gown with a long veil and lacey bolero jacket. Ten flowertoting bridesmaids and seven groomsmen were in the wedding party. And after the ceremony, 100 guests dined on beef tenderloin, clams casino and a three-tier vanilla cake. The cost, including a fireworks show during the reception, was $45,000. Heller-Wells wasn’t some blushing new bride, though. When the retired registered nurse, 64, wed her husband, Clyde, a small-business owner who is 65, it was her second time at the altar. “I met my Prince Charming. He swept me off my feet,” says the Clearwater, Fla., widow whose first husband died in 2003. “We’re hoping this will be the last marriage. Why not celebrate?” Only a few years ago, it was

considered in poor taste for a bride over age 55, particularly if she had been previously married, to do things like wear a fancy wedding gown, rock out to a DJ at the reception or have the groom slip a lacy garter belt off of her leg. But those days are gone: Older couples no longer are tying the knot in subtle ways. The trend in part is being driven by a desire to emulate the lavish weddings of celebrities of all ages. But it’s also one of the results of a new “everything goes” approach that does away with long-held traditions and cookie-cutter ceremonies in favor of doing things like replacing the first husband-and-wife dance with a group reenactment of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. That’s left older couples feeling less self-conscious about shelling out serious cash to party like their younger peers. “The rules are out the window … whether it’s what you’re wearing or the cake you’re serving,” says Darcy Miller, editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings, a wedding

magazine. “Sixty is the new 40 and that is reflected in the wedding.” Couples age 55 and older made up just 8 percent of last year’s $53 billion wedding business. But that number has doubled since 2002, according to Shane McMurray, CEO of The Wedding Report, which tracks spending trends in the wedding industry. It’s in part because more couples are marrying in their golden years. In 2011, women ages 55 and over accounted for 5.2 percent and men in that age range made up 7.9 percent of the more than 2.1 million marriages performed in that year in the U.S., according to Bowling Green State University’s National Center for Family and Marriage Research, based on analysis of census figures. That’s up from 2001 when 2.6 percent of new marriages performed were among women in that age group; for men, it was 6.6 percent. And those older couples spend more. That’s because they’re usually empty nesters who don’t have the same worries as their younger

counterparts: They aren’t saving for their first home, for instance, and they aren’t burdened by huge student loan debts they must worry about paying off. As a result, older couples dish out about 10 percent to 15 percent more than the cost of the average wedding, which was $25,656 last year, down from the pre-recession peak in 2007 of $28,732, according to The Wedding Report. That’s meant big business for companies that cater to brides and grooms-to-be. Zaven Ghanimian, CEO of Simon G. Jewelry, which sells engagement rings and other jewelry to about 900 small stores across the country, says men in their late 50s and older have been investing more on engagement rings. A few years ago, they were spending $1,500 to $2,000; now, they’re shelling out $4,000 to $8,000. And at David’s Bridal, the nation’s largest bridal chain with 300 locations across the U.S., business from older couples has doubled in the past two years, compared with modest growth for the younger age

group, says Brian Beitler, the chain’s chief marketing officer. And while older customers represent only two to three percent of overall sales, the company expects that figure to keep growing. And they’re a lucrative bunch. David’s Bridal, which is based in Consohocken, Pa., says older brides spend about $700 to $800 on gowns, including accessories like necklaces. That’s higher than the $500 to $600 that customers in their twenties and early thirties typically spend. But older brides aren’t just spending more, they’re spending differently. For instance, in the past, older brides tended to stick with special-occasion dresses, but now they want more traditional wedding gowns. “She’s our dream bride,” says Catalina Maddox, fashion director at David’s Bridal. “She wants everything that the 25-year-old bride wants, but more.” The trend is so prevalent that David’s Bridal is looking at ways to better connect with the older wedding crowd.

HOUSE OF THE WEEK

Q. I want to replace my existing windows, but I’m confused. What’s the difference between vinyl and wood? Jill of Avilla A. Jill, you’re not the only one confused, I’ve been a builder for 30 years and I learn something new every day about windows. It sounds like you are replacing windows in your existing home and there are a couple options. A replacement series window uses your existing window frame where you remove the window sashes and insert a new frame and window into the existing frame opening. Typically these are vinyl windows with an optional wood veneer on the inside for appearance. Replacement windows are different from new construction windows and will usually SQUARE look different inside and CORNERS outside. The advantage of using replacement Jeff Deahl windows is that they fit within the existing frame openings and can be installed quickly and easily without the need to remove the siding and trim both inside and outside. When you use a replacement window, the new window will be more energy efficient than your original single pane window, but there will be air infiltration and leakage in the gaps and wall around the window openings. With new construction windows where you remove the whole window including the interior and exterior trim, you now have the ability to air seal and insulate the surrounding area of the window. The process takes more time and is more expensive but you’re getting a more energy efficient home. Once you’ve decided the type of window you can look at the different materials such as vinyl, fiberglass, wood or cladding over wood. Material choice will affect the overall thermal characteristics of the window. When comparing similar good, better, best windows the performances will be similar. In comparing manufacturers always look at the “U” value; the lower the “U” value the greater the windows resistance to heat and cool flow and the better the insulating value. Fiberglass is a stable material and when cavities of the window frame are insulated, the thermal performance will exceed that of wood and vinyl. If your interest is sustainability, vinyl is theoretically recyclable but only 1 present of the material produced is actually recycled and it takes generations for plastic to degrade in the landfill. Fiberglass is 60 percent sand, a plentiful resource, and fiberglass does not give off gas such as vinyl. Wood and wood clad windows are the most environmentally friendly and typically a closer match to your existing homes interior. You have to weigh the pros and cons and take into consideration you own home and budget.

Michigan library features history of cooking During my senior year of college, I lived across the street from the William L. Clements Library on South University Avenue at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Little did I know then that my career work evaluating art, antiques and collectibles would bring me back there to survey their fine yet unusual collection of cookbooks and materials relating to the history of the American culinary arts. The Janice Longone Culinary Archive housed at the Clements Library at UM is broad in scope. It focuses on “everything that influenced and influences America and everything that America influenced and influences in culinary matters.” That is a tall order for any collection. The material on deposit at UM highlights various areas of culinary history and American domestic and commercial life from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. While antique and vintage cookbooks make up the

crux of the collection, there are also diaries, letters from chefs, catalogues, menus (like those used by celebrities of the day), advertisements, maps (relating to the spice trade routes and other materials) and manuscripts about food and food service. The archive is the result ART & of a lifetime ANTIQUES of collecting by Janice and Daniel Longone, Dr. Lori who donated the collection to the university.

known as “old wood” or the wood produced during the previous year. These Hydrangea should be pruned after they are finished flowering. Hydrangeas that flower on “new wood” (current seasons growth), such as Endless Summer Blushing Bride, should be pruned in the winter or early spring before growth starts. To encourage reblooming, remove spent flowers. There are also some plants that will bloom on both old and new wood, such as the Endless Summer Twist and Shout. The flower color of some cultivars of the bigleaf hydrangea (hydrangea macrophylla) is affected by the soil pH. Blue shades are obtained in acidic soil and pink in alkaline soil. The change in color depends on the concentration of aluminum in the soil. This quick growing plant will reach a height of 3 to 6 feet. The hydrangea on the north side of my house is called Endless Summer Twist and Shout, a reblooming lacecap that enjoys the protected spot. One of the most cold-hardy hydrangea species is panicle hydrangea (hydrangea paniculata). The flowers are set on new

Hydrangeas are a very popular flowering shrubs that like consistently moist, well-drained soil in a partially shaded area. There are some plants that can take full sun, however, the bigleaf hydrangea needs to be well shaded from the hot afternoon sun as its leaves will wilt in full sun even if the soil is moist. KNOWLEDGE Morning sun TO GROW and afternoon shade is ideal for many hydrangea Karen Weiland varieties. These plants will need to be watered very well during dry spells. You can expect most of them to flower from early summer through the fall and can be used as a specimen plant or a shrub border.
