Group working to save the Strand

BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Remember the Hub, the Airdome, the Colonial and the Princess theaters?

Today only the Strand Theatre survives as part of Kendallville’s movie theater history, and its future is now in doubt.

The twin cinema at 221 S. Main St. is one of the oldest theaters in the nation in continuous operation showing first-run movies and Noble County’s only movie theater. It draws visitors and customers to the downtown business district.

In their 2011 HyattPalma Indiana Downtown report on saving and revitalizing

Kendallville’s downtown, Doyle G. Hyett and Dolores P. Palma pointed out a movie theater is one the most traditional anchors that most downtowns have lost.

“Every effort should be made to retain this valuable downtown anchor in Kendallville,” they advised.

That’s the goal of the “Strand Theatre: Keep the Lights On“ campaign organized by a group of Kendallville citizens who want to save the city landmark.

By the end of this year, distributors no longer deliver will film prints to theaters in North America. The cans full of reels of celluloid will be a thing of the analog past.

The Strand Theatre in Kendallville opened Sept. 30, 1890, as the Spencer Opera House. It may close unless new digital projection equipment costing $110,000 to $120,000 is installed.

Gambling proposal for Indy airport might not pass

Indiana jail escapee captured nearby MARTINSVILLE (AP) — A central Indiana jail escapee who fled while working outside has been recaptured.

WRTV-TV and WISH-TV report 32-year-old Blair Wolfe was recaptured in Hendricks County on Saturday, one day after walking away from the Morgan County Jail in Martinsville. Authorities say Wolfe was a trusty and was picking up trash outside the jail’s fence on Friday afternoon when he walked away.

Morgan County Sheriff Robert Downey say officers tracked Wolfe to his father’s house in Plainfield. When officers arrived, Wolfe took off running into a wooded area but was captured.

He was in jail on a theft charge. The Sheriff’s Department says he’ll now face an escape charge and a possible additional five years of jail time.

Lange was basically homeless when he came to Lakeland, but finds himself with a household of items he will need, plus a supportive group of friends from Lakeland, where he’s been rehabilitating since Sept. 5. Lange moves out of Lakeland and to Fox Lake Apartments today.

Man gets home of own

BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Today, John Lange is going to have a home of his own.

Lange, 47, had been down on his luck and needed a place to live. He ended up in the home of a long-time friend in Angola, Sonya Cleckner, a few months back, moving here from Michigan. But Lange has been plagued by health problems and didn’t have any family to fall back on.

After two weeks living with Cleckner and her daughter, Lange’s poor health got the better of him and he found himself in Cameron Memorial Community Hospital.

After a stay there for pneumonia — Lange also is diabetic and is dealing with complications from a hip replacement surgery — it was recommended he go to Lakeland Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, where he could get the proper care needed to eventually end up living on his own. He’s been living, rehabbing and making friends at Lakeland since Sept. 5.

“I don’t think we’ve ever had a need as great as his,” said Erin Newman, admissions, sales and marketing director.

In addition to his health issues, Lange virtually had nothing but a suitcase, the clothes on his back and a duffel bag of medications he needs to take.

“When I came here, I pretty much had next to

nothing,” said Lange, who is originally from the Grand Rapids, Mich. area.

On Friday, staff at Lakeland brought in a wide variety of household goods, from a microwave oven to kitchen gear, so Lange would be able to get off to a good start today when he moves in at Fox Lake Apartments today.

“It’s just been a really big help. I wasn’t expecting it, but it is nice to know I have so many friends here.

People are still bringing stuff in,” Lange said.

Prior to that, it has taken weeks of work in rehabilitation to get Lange ready to move out on his own. He’s working on his balance and is walking with canes, the progress at which makes him proud to tell visitors and staff at Lakeland.

But it hasn’t been easy going through occupational and physical therapy.

“They’ve been supportive of me here. There were times when I was having bad days and I would talk to Kelly (Williams, social service director) or whomever an they lifted me up,” Lange said.

Lange’s troubles began some 15 years ago He was working in Florida and broke his hip. He didn’t realize it at the time, then finally was told his problem would require hip replacement surgery.

Lange was afraid to go through with it, but finally did this past April. It has been a struggle ever since,

but with the help of people like Dawn Knoch, business office manager at Lakeland, Lange has been able to get disability insurance.

Williams helped him get accepted at Fox Lake. Many people have worked to make sure Lange stays current with his numerous medications. Lange credits the nursing staff at Lakeland for training him in this area.

Cleckner will probably be helping out in that area, too, once Lange is out on his own once again, working to make a new start of it in Angola.

“I’m still going to be a big part of his life,” she said.

The folks at Lakeland thought Lange would not be moving out when he is.

“I thought you’d be here a lot longer,” Newman told Lange.

“The people in therapy have been a great help.

They have really pushed me. If it weren’t for them, I’d probably be here a lot longer. If it wasn’t for them pushing me, I don’t know where I’d be right now,” Lange said.

Today, he’ll be moving in to his new digs at Fox Lake, where, like Lakeland, he hopes to make many new friends.

“I’ve made a lot here. I want to be happy,” Lange said.

He thinks that will be helped out by the fact that some of the clients he’s befriended at Lakeland will be moving to Fox Lake soon, too.

Purdue plans read-in to celebrate life of historian WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Educators and activists from across the country will gather at Purdue University next month to celebrate liberal historian Howard Zinn, whose writings were sharply criticized by university President Mitch Daniels during his time as governor.

The Nov. 5 event “symbolizes the ongoing fight back in the United States against the privatization of public education, attacks on teachers and teachers unions by politicians like Mitch Daniels, and the need for real democracy in both schools and curriculum,” according to an announcement by event organizers.

Daniels drew fire this summer when The Associated Press reported that the former governor had sought assurance from his staff that Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” wasn’t being used in Indiana K-12 classrooms or counted toward continuing education credit for state teachers.

“This terrible anti-Amer-

High-quality, low-cost healthcare.

ican academic has finally passed away,” Daniels wrote in a Feb. 9, 2010, email after Zinn’s death. He called Zinn’s 1980 book “a truly execrable, anti-factual piece of disinformation that misstates American history on every page.”

Ninety Purdue faculty members and state lawmakers bashed Daniels for what they saw as an attack on academic freedom.

Daniels has stood firm in his opinion of Zinn’s work but said that if Zinn had tenure at Purdue, he would “defend him and his rights not to be dismissed for the nature of his work.”

Zinn’s book addresses American history from the viewpoint of those whose plights he said were often omitted from most history textbooks. It has been widely criticized by many conservatives and scholars and characterized by historian Eugene D. Genovese as “incoherent left-wing sloganizing.”

Many others view Zinn differently.

“Howard Zinn is a hero to millions of Americans,” professor Bill Mullen, an event organizer, told the Journal & Courier. “He made the stories of women, workers and civil rights

Event organizers said they hope the event improves the lives of students, teachers and workers.

“The fight for the right to teach anti-capitalist writers like Howard Zinn is never separate from the fight to improve the material lives of students, teachers and workers around the world,” according to the event announcement. “In the words of Howard Zinn, we realize now more than ever that we can’t afford to be ‘neutral on a moving train.’”

LABOR ‘DISCHORD’ Negotiations drag on at Fort Wayne Philharmonic

Mike Remke of Remke Excavating of Angola, left, and an employee of Becker and Scrivens Concrete Products of Hillsdale, Mich., set a concrete septic tank on the north side of a house on C.R. 500W, chosen for a statewide septic installers association’s field day project this week.

Disabled veteran gets free septic system PLEASANT LAKE — A disabled U.S. military veteran and longtime Steuben County resident will have a better place to live by this weekend.

J.R. Andrews, 4430 S. C.R. 500W, received a new septic system, including tanks and sand mound filtration system for free, thanks to donated materials, labor and expertise.

The project was organized through the Indiana Onsite Wastewater Professionals Association.

IOWPA provides one system replacement in the state every year. This is the first time a Steuben County property has been chosen, said IOWPA member and Steuben County Department of Health inspector Walter Buchs, who coordinated the project.

A complaint was filed with the health department Jan. 29 about raw sewage leaking from Andrews’ failing septic.

It was recommended for the IOWPA field day project by Steuben County Health Department’s chief environmentalist Kris Thomas. In the meantime, Dilts Sewer Service of Hamilton provided regular pumping of the system.

LaGrange, Steuben counties cooperating LAGRANGE — Saying their two counties need new ways to share resources and save money, 10 county officials — five from LaGrange County and five from Steuben County — met in the LaGrange County Courthouse Annex late Tuesday afternoon to discuss the possibility of hiring a human resources manager to serve both counties.

Jac Price, president of the LaGrange County Board of Commissioners, acted as the impromptu moderator of the meeting,. He told his Steuben County counterparts he believes the time has come for counties such as LaGrange to investigate hiring a human resources professional.

Loretta Smart, a Steuben County commissioner, said Steuben County has reached the same HR threshold as LaGrange. She called the idea of creating a shared HR department a “terrific idea.�

Stutzman doesn’t regret budget battle HOWE — Back in Indiana Thursday, U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, said he does not regret the bitter budget battle that ended Wednesday night in Washington. “Any time we’re fighting for the American people, it’s worth it,� Stutzman said about the divisive episode that caused a 16-day shutdown of the federal government On the brink of a government default Wednesday, Congress passed a bill that funded the government temporarily without meeting some Republicans’ goal of defunding the national health care law known as Obamacare. “It’s very disappointing that the president did not want to make any changes to Obamacare,� Stutzman said. “We’re going to have to live with Obamacare until he changes his mind.�

Stutzman said he could not bring himself to vote for the bill that ended the showdown, because it raised the federal debt ceiling and lacked tax reforms.

Spelling teams qualify for state finals For the 16th consecutive year, East Noble High School’s Spell Bowl team has qualified for the Indiana Academic Senior Spell Bowl State Finals in Class 1.

In Class 3, Garrett High School qualified for the state finals for the fourth year in a row with a score of 53.

In qualifying competition Monday night, Garrett’s score of 53 points ranked fourth among all Indiana schools in enrollment Class 3. East Noble spellers scored 69 out of a possible 90 points to rank fifth in Class 1.

Both teams will compete in the finals Nov. 16 at Purdue University’s main campus in West Lafayette.

A total of 160 Indiana high schools sent Spell Bowl teams to senior division regionals to try to reach the state finals in four classes. Only 30 teams qualified.

Expressway plan gets OK CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago-area planning agency voted Thursday to proceed with a $1.3 billion expressway between Indiana and Illinois, ignoring criticism from its own board of directors that the project was an expensive boondoggle, and pleas from landowners that it would destroy rich farmland.

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s policy committee voted 11-8 to include the so-called Illiana tollway linking Interstate 55 in Will County, Ill., and Interstate 65 in Lake County, Ind., in its long-term development plan for the region. The step was necessary for the project to receive federal funding.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence have pushed hard for the 47-mile link.

FORT WAYNE — Musicians and management of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic are struggling to reach an agreement in labor negotiations that have dragged on for several months.

A major sticking point is proposed salary cuts.

Members of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Players’ Association, as their union is called, had offered take wage cuts of 12 percent in order to stay afloat financially, but that has been rejected, according to union spokesman Campbell MacDonald, who also plays the clarinet. “We feel at this point our offer is substantial and our proposal is substantial,� he said. “We are concerned that they seek to make cuts that will permanently alter the philharmonic — both in its artistic excellence and in the number of concerts we do.�

Funding for the philharmonic has remained relatively constant.

According to the organization’s most recent filing to the Internal Revenue Service, gifts, grants and membership fees ranged between $3.36 million and $3.5 million annually since 2008.

Revenue from admissions, merchandise sold or services performed ranged between $1.1 million $1.3 million since 2008. The most recent figures available are from 2011.

J.L. Nave, chief executive officer and president of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, said that while more cuts are necessary, he does understand and appreciate the value of the musicians

themselves. “It’s important to note that the musicians are at the core of the philharmonic, which is why we’ve spent the last few years trying to avoid cuts, scaling back every other part of the (operation) in order to sustain the staff,� Nave said. “This is not a new problem, and we’ve taken a number of steps to avoid this.�

Nave said that while funding levels have remained relatively constant — even increasing with a series of $1-million-per-year donations from the Fort Wayne-based Edward D. and Ione Auer Foundation — operating costs have increased, making it necessary to make cuts.

The 41 musicians make between $27,222 and $32,806 annually.

The musicians of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic have continued performing under the rules of a contract that expired earlier in the summer. As a way of connecting with their patrons and also to highlight the

ongoing negotiations, they have taken to handing out informational fliers about the philharmonic. Some of the points they make include: • All of the musicians have studied at major music schools. Most members hold bachelor’s degrees, and many have earned master’s or doctorate degrees. • Many members of the philharmonic also serve as faculty at schools and universities in northeast Indiana.

They coach student chamber ensembles and members of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Youth Orchestras, teach private lessons and perform individually and in small ensembles in private and public events. “While finances may be tight, the musicians’ concern is that an effective resolution is not imminent, and it appears the Philharmonic wants to cut wages, benefits and musical offerings as its solution,� another brochure from the musicians read.

While musicians are willing to accept some temporary

wage reductions, they said they feel that permanent wage cuts are not the answer. “The solution is enthusiastic support, appropriate fundraising and effective marketing,� the message concluded.

The Fort Wayne Philharmonic Player’s Association is represented by the Fort Wayne Musician’s Association Local 58 of the American Federation of Musicians.

MacDonald and Nave both said the two sides are committed to reaching a fair and equitable resolution that enables the philharmonic to continue delivering quality performances. Nave declined to get into specifics, but MacDonald spoke for the union. “It’s the goal of both sides to reach an agreement,�

MacDonald said. “But we are not willing to sit back and accept cuts that we believe will permanently alter the quality of the institution and quality of our offerings to northeast Indiana.�

Indiana has 182,000 in coverage gap INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A new report that 182,000 low-income residents could go without health insurance is refocusing attention on whether Indiana will win an exception to expand Medicaid using the Healthy Indiana Plan.

The Kaiser Family Foundation reported this week that 28 percent of the state’s uninsured residents fall in that “gap� between Medicaid coverage and qualifying for subsidized insurance through the federal exchange. Nationally, the percentage is similar, but the number falling in that gap is more than 5 million. “People in the coverage gap are likely to face barriers to needed health services or, if they do require medical care, potentially serious financial consequences. Further, the safety net of clinics and hospitals that has traditionally served the uninsured population will continue to be stretched in these states,� according to the report.

Rachel Garfield, a

senior researcher at Kaiser and one of the report’s authors, noted that Indiana’s percentage of uninsured residents who would be covered through a Medicaid expansion is similar to other states which have not expanded Medicaid. The states which did expand Medicaid, of course, do not have that coverage gap. “These are adults without children, generally ineligible(for Medicaid) and they’re the also the lowest income people for whom, affording coverage on their own is very difficult,�

Garfield said. “Certainly for the Medicaid expansion component of the law, this was really who was targeted.�

As open enrollment on the federal health exchange and state-run exchanges opened this month, many questions still remained about the status expanding Medicaid coverage for residents earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld last year the mandate that residents own insurance,

but struck down a provision forcing states to expand Medicaid.

Since then, many Republican-led states have resisted expanding Medicaid.

Gov. Mike Pence and Republican lawmakers, however, have supported expanding coverage using the Healthy Indiana Plan.

The Pence administration won a one-year extension of Indiana’s state-run alternative to Medicaid this past summer from the Center

for Medicare and Medicaid Services. But negotiations with the federal government for an expansion of the plan were pushed back.

A spokeswoman for Pence was not immediately available for comment.

If Indiana does not win its proposed expansion, the state will face the same problems the federal health care law was supposed to alleviate, said David Roos, executive director of Covering Kid and Families of Indiana.

Dr. Ping-Wha Lin makes a move in Chinese chess. Ping-Wha, an accomplished engineer, scholar

and educator, died Sept. 14, after a lengthy illness.

A gentleman, a genius

BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Dr. Ping-Wha Lin was known as a gentleman, genius, scholar, inventor and engineer.

The accomplished professor died Sept. 14, in Angola.

Ping, as he was called, was born in 1925 in a village in Manchuria in northwestern China.

In 1947, Ping graduated from Jiao-Tong University in Shanghai with a degree in civil engineering and became an instructor at Lingnan University in Kwongcho, China.

He was granted an educational visa in a small group of people in 1950 to go to the United States to study. He earned a master’s degree and doctorate in environmental engineering, both from Purdue University.

Ping’s wife was Sylvia and their children are Karen Lin and Karl Lin. Ping went to New York City to work at different consulting engineer firms for 10 years.

He then traveled the world working for the World Health Organization as environmental engineer to eradicate malaria in Ghana, improve municipal waste disposal and waterworks construction programs in Nigeria and as a consultant improving rural water supply in China.

Karen said her father was always studious and wanted to share the world with his children in hopes of expanding their ideas.

A Mass of Christian burial will be 11 a.m.

Tuesday at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 300 West Houston St., Garrett, with Father Andrew Nazareth officiating. Burial will be in Christian Union Cemetery in rural Garrett.

Visitation will be from 2-8 p.m. Monday at Feller and Clark Funeral Home, 1860 S. Center St., Auburn, with the reciting of the rosary taking place at 7:30 p.m. Monday evening at the funeral home.

Memorials may be directed to masses to the church.

“He had a bigger picture than Angola,” Karen said.

“Deep down inside, even though he was a typical Chinese father who didn’t show emotion, he was always there for us.”

It was common for Ping to take his family to national parks, museums, sight see and travel to seek out more knowledge.

“Our house was always a mess. He was more about bettering the world and I think he did,” Karen said and added her father didn’t care about materialis.

For 30 years, Ping was a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Tri-State University in Angola.

While in Angola, he attended the First Congregational United Church of Christ. There he was befriended by Carol and Veryl Carpenter, who sometimes picked up Ping or Sylvia from the airport. Along the way, Ping always wanted to indulge in his favorite food — Chinese — with his friends.

“We picked them up at the airport and we went for Chinese,” Carol said.

“He wouldn’t eat anything but Chinese. They talked in both Chinese languages” with restaurant workers, Carol said.

“I know he was brilliant, but never talked about his work.” Carol said she didn’t know about his many accomplishments until she read his obituary.

“He was interesting to be around.”

Ping spent his life sharing his vast knowledge. An avid reader, Ping published tville, died Friday, Oct., 2013, in her residence.

Funeral services will be Monday, Oct. 21, 2013, at 11 a.m. in the Maple Grove Church in Topeka with the Rev. Harold Gingerich officiating. Burial will be in the Maple Grove Cemetery.

more than 60 articles in professional magazines including those on Lin’s Theory of Flux, named for him, and its applications in such areas as nuclear fusion reaction for energy production.

“He was always determined up to the day he died,” Karen said.

“He didn’t recognize his incapacity and wanted to go to China to deliver a paper.”

Ping established 17 patents in the field of air pollution control, construction materials, water and wastewater treatment. He even developed a method to stabilize the Leaning Tower of Pisa that involved soil freezing and tunneling.

Karen said the latest invention her father was working on was how to allow cars to run on air or water.

Ping’s list of awards is lengthy. Some include the International Peace Prize, United Culture Conventions and an achievement award by the United Inventors and Scientists of America.

He is also listed in numerous publications like the 500 Greatest Geniuses of the 21st Century, 500 Founders of the 21st Century, American Men & Women of Science, Leaders of American Science and International Book of Honor.

Pakistan getting US aid

AP

Karen Nicholson-McFadden, left, and Marcye Nicholson-McFadden, center, of Aberdeen, listen as their son Kasey, 14 and their daughter Maya, 10, speak to a crowd of about 150 people gathered on the lawn in front of Garden State Equality Friday in Montclair, N.J. The rally was in support of the state Supreme Court ruling that the state must begin granting same-sex marriage licenses.

Northeast puts spotlight on gay marriage push HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania and New Jersey are on tracks that could lead to the Northeast being the first full region in the country to legalize gay marriage — but the routes are hardly parallel and the horsepower anything but equal.

A flurry of recent court decisions has gay couples in New Jersey, where same-sex marriage has long been debated, hurrying to make wedding plans for when they can legally marry starting Monday — even as a moderate Republican governor with apparent presidential aspirations appeals.

Across the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, advocates are pecking away at a 1996 gay marriage ban by introducing bills in the Legislature, defiantly issuing marriage licenses in localities and taking the issue to court — with few people conceding the tactics will work anytime soon in a big state with a socially conservative spine.

“I don’t think it is going to happen next year. …

It’s going to take leader-

ship from the top,” said state Rep. Mike Fleck, an openly gay Republican who represents a rural, conservative district in Huntingdon County, nestled in the Allegheny Mountains.

The different approaches — and levels of success — in the two neighboring states illustrate the many ways the effort to legalize same-sex marriage is playing out nationally in the months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down parts of a federal law that restricted the rights of gay couples.

In recent weeks, at least eight county clerks in New Mexico have begun issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples while state courts wrestle with the implications of the high court ruling. Similarly, in Pennsylvania, a suburban Philadelphia court clerk issued 174 licenses to gay couples before a state judge ordered him to stop.

Gay marriage bans are being contested in multiple states’ courts and legislatures, while others are more narrowly focused. A lesbian couple who legally wed in Massachusetts and moved

to Pennsylvania have sued to have their marriage recognized in their new home state. A federal judge ordered Ohio to recognize the out-of-state marriages of two gay couples on Ohio death certificates.

And Oregon officials have declared that the state will recognize same-sex marriages of couples who wed in other states or countries.

If both New Jersey and Pennsylvania legalize same-sex marriage, it would be law across a nine-state region that is home to more than 55 million people, or nearly a fifth of the nation’s population. Just below the Northeast, Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C., also allow gay marriage.

The debate in New Jersey, an overwhelmingly urban, Democratic state with a popular Republican governor, stretches back more than a decade. The state had already recognized civil unions, and on Friday, the state Supreme Court upheld an order for same-sex marriages to begin at 12:01 a.m. Monday.

Turk, Lebanese hostages free BEIRUT (AP) — Nine Lebanese pilgrims abducted in Syria and two Turkish pilots held hostage in Lebanon returned home Saturday night, part of an ambitious three-way deal cutting across the Syrian civil war.

Thousands of well-wishers greeted the Shiite pilgrims in Beirut, with one man being carried out of the airport on the shoulders of a crowd.

Meanwhile, a plane carrying the two freed Turkish Airlines pilots landed in Istanbul, where Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other officials greeted them.

Their planes departed just minutes apart, crisscrossing in the skies as part of the carefully-calibrated plan.

The hostage release ends an ordeal that began a year and a half ago when Syrian rebels kidnapped the pilgrims, triggering tit-for-tat kidnappings that included the two Turkish pilots.

The deal, negotiated

by Qatar and Palestinian officials, also was meant to include freeing dozens of women held in Syrian government jails to satisfy the rebels who abducted the pilgrims. However, it wasn’t immediately clear Saturday

night whether any of the women had been freed. The Syrian government and its official SANA news agency did not mention any such release.

The nine Shiite pilgrims were kidnapped in May 2012 while on their way from Iran to Lebanon via Turkey and Syria. Turkish Airlines pilots Murat Akpinar and Murat Agca had been held since their kidnapping in August in Beirut.

Their abductions show how the chaos from the Syrian civil war, now in its third year, has spilled across the greater Middle East. The men also described facing similar despair and hardships while in captivity.

“For the first 15 days, we were kept in a room and didn’t see the light of day,” Akpinar said in a hastily organized news conference after landing in Istanbul. He said he and his colleague were guarded by dozens of gunmen. “It was impossible for us to escape,” he said.

In Beirut’s international airport, hundreds of relatives shouted and screamed as the pilgrims filed in. Most of the freed men wore tidy plaid shirts, their faces visibly tired.

“My son, my son!” one

woman sobbed.

Dozens of green-clad Lebanese soldiers tried to keep order as crowds heaved forward.

One pilgrim accused his kidnappers of not offering the hostages medical care.

“We wished that any of them had any kind of values,” said the pilgrim, who did not give his name in the chaos.

“We were with people who couldn’t tell a female camel from a male camel,” he said, referring to an Arabic proverb to describe an ignorant person.

Other pilgrims said they were kept in dark, humid rooms for most of their confinement. They could hear heavy fighting nearby.

Lebanese government officials and clerics greeted the men, kissing their cheeks one by one. A top Lebanese official who coordinated the pilgrims’ release entered the airport to the backdrop of whooping cheers and loud music.

“It was difficult, without a doubt,” said Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim, head of Lebanon’s general security apparatus.

“I didn’t want anything from this deal, except to see this sight,” he said, gesturing at the waiting crowds.

of the Navy SEAL raid on bin Laden’s compound.

Adding to the mistrust, the U.S. mistakenly killed two dozen Pakistani soldiers in November 2011. Islamabad responded by shutting land supply routes for troops in Afghanistan until it received a U.S. apology seven months later.

The State Department told Congress that the U.S. hadn’t conducted any significant military financing for Pakistan since the “challenging and rapidly changing period of U.S.-Pakistan relations” in 2011 and 2012. The department stressed the importance now of enhancing Pakistan’s anti-terrorism capabilities through better communications, night vision capabilities, maritime security and precision striking with F16 fighter jets.

The department told Congress on July 25 that it would spend $295 million to help Pakistan’s military. Twelve days later it announced $386 million more. A pair of notifications arriving on Aug. 13 and worth $705 million centered on helping Pakistani troops and air forces operating in the militant hotbeds of western Pakistan, and other counterinsurgency efforts.

able highlighting the billions provided to a government that is plagued by corruption and perceived as often duplicitous in fighting terrorism.

Congress has cleared most of the money, and it should start moving early next year, officials and congressional aides said.

Over three weeks in July and August, the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development informed Congress that it planned to restart a wide range of assistance, mostly dedicated to helping Pakistan fight terrorism. The U.S. sees that effort as essential as it withdraws troops from neighboring Afghanistan next year and tries to leave a stable government behind.

Other funds focus on a range of items, including help for Pakistani law enforcement and a multibillion-dollar dam in disputed territory.

U.S.-Pakistani relations have weathered numerous crises in recent years. There was a months-long legal battle over a CIA contractor who killed two Pakistanis, in addition to the fallout from bin Laden’s killing in the Pakistani military town of Abbottabad in May 2011. The Pakistani government was outraged that it received no advance warning

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has quietly decided to release more than $1.6 billion in military and economic aid to Pakistan that was suspended when relations between the two countries disintegrated over the covert raid that killed Osama bin Laden and deadly U.S. airstrikes against Pakistani soldiers.

Officials and congressional aides said ties have improved enough to allow the money to flow again.

American and NATO supply routes to Afghanistan are open. Controversial U.S. drone strikes are down. The U.S. and Pakistan recently announced the restart of their “strategic dialogue” after a long pause. Pakistan’s new prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, is traveling to Washington for talks this coming week with President Barack Obama.

But in a summer dominated by foreign policy debates over the coup in Egypt and chemical weapons attacks in Syria, the U.S. hasn’t promoted its revamped aid relationship with Pakistan. Neither has Pakistan.

The silence reflects the lingering mutual suspicions between the two.

The Pakistanis do not like being seen as dependent on their heavy-handed partners.

CHURCH: Congregations began sharing Oct. 6 FROM PAGE A1

Pastor Bill Weaver of Auburn Baptist Church.

As they talked, she said, “We realized mutually that we had exactly what they needed.”

On Sunday, Oct. 6, the two congregations began sharing the First Christian Church building. The host congregation worshiped in the sanctuary at 9:30 a.m., while the visiting Auburn Baptist members used other areas of the building for Sunday school. At 10:45 a.m., they switched places.

“There is no way we could have done last Sunday in the old facility,” Weaver said a few days later. “We couldn’t have handled the numbers we had — 111 at worship. We’re very thankful to God and for them for this opportunity. Our people are excited.”

“It’s been amazing. It was a wonderful experience,” Sivis said. “I was excited, because this church hasn’t really filled this building to the brim for a while, and we were praying that it could happen.”

Auburn Baptist Church will continue to use its building on Ensley Avenue as a church office and for its Sunday night and Wednesday night services.

Auburn Baptist has occupied its building for 35 years. Weaver began serving as a part-time pastor in 2000, preaching to gatherings that averaged in the 30s on Sunday mornings.

Then Weaver lost his job as a teacher in 2011, and the congregation asked him to devote all of his time to the church.

“It was a step of faith, because the finances weren’t there at the time to support a full-time pastor,” Weaver said.

Within a year, average worship attendance grew to around 60. A year later, it had reached 90.

“While it might be convenient to explain the growth of the church in human terms, the truth is that in his own way and in his own time, God is causing both the spiritual and numerical growth among the people at Auburn Baptist Church,” Weaver said.

Making the building on Ensley Avenue accommodate the growth was beyond the reach of miracles, however.

“We didn’t have much of a parking lot at all. …. We were not handicapped-accessible,” Weaver said. “We began looking around for any existing building. Nothing seemed to fit the bill.”

Then came the ad, the call from Sivis and the offer of a sharing arrangement. The host congregation approved the rental agreement in a vote Sept. 22. Auburn Baptist members voted in favor Sept.

29. The following Sunday, the congregations began the rare experiment.

The plan calls for a “nesting” period of up to three years before Auburn Baptist Church takes flight.

“Our dream is that in two to three years, God would provide the funding for land, a sanctuary and ministry center,” Weaver wrote in a proposal to the hosts.

“However, we need a ‘next step’ before the ‘big step.’

We need enough space that would give us an opportunity to grow to the next level.”

Weaver said he is grateful for the generosity of those who have welcomed his congregation.

“Pastor Betty Sivis and the people of First Christian Church became aware of our needs and stepped out in faith to help,” he said. “Their bold gesture of kindness toward us will never be forgotten.”

“Our church members were extraordinarily enthusiastic” about sharing space, Sivis said. “Why else would God bless us with this building?”

The Strand Theatre: Keep the Lights On committee recently accepted a $2,500 donation from the Kendallville Sesquicentennial Committee. The donation will go toward purchase of new digital projection equipment for the Strand Theatre in Kendallville. From left are: front row, Diane Peachey, Strand Theatre: Keep the Lights On committee chairperson; and Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe, a sesquicentennial committee member; back row, sesquicentennial committee members Frank Walkup, Scott Derby, Craig Munk, Debbie Derby and Kendallville Clerk-Treasurer Sheryl Hanes.

STRAND: Movies making move to digital screens FROM PAGE A1

Movies will be digitized and distributed on hard drives. Theater owners are being forced to invest in digital projection technology costing thousands of dollars.

About 88 percent of the 5,570 theaters in North America have made the digital switch, according to the National Association of Theater Owners. Independent theaters such as the Strand make up most of the 12 percent that have not converted.

The digital medium also facilitates 3D projection, which sells tickets. The Strand cannot show 3D movies.

Film studios like the switch because ultimately it will be less expensive for studios to distribute films digitally rather than ship cans of film around the country.

Strand Theatre owner Bruce Babbitt has said he cannot afford the estimated $110,000 to $120,000 needed to convert his theater to the new digital technology. The switch is needed for the Strand to receive and show first-run movies such as “Gravity,” now showing on one of its screens.

Digital conversion could force Babbitt to close the Strand.

“The Strand Theatre: Keep the Lights On” campaign has been organized to raise money to purchase digital equipment for the theater. A committee of Diane Peachey, Mike Gordon, Zach Hayden and Tom Hullinger are partnering and collaborating with the Kendallville Redevelopment Commission, which would own all the equipment purchased and lease it to the Strand.

In an Oct. 2 letter to the Noble County Community Foundation, Redevelopment Commission chairman Ray Scott and Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe explained the commission’s grant to purchase the equipment will relieve the use of tax dollars for the project by establishing a non-permanent fund with

Theatre started as an opera house in 1890

BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcnews.com

KENDALLVILLE — Strand Theatre owner Bruce Babbitt is an admitted movie buff.

He enjoys owning and operating the theatre in downtown Kendallville and appreciates its ties to the city’s history and importance to the downtown’s viability.

He worked at the Strand Theater as a teenager.

He knows how movies are made and distributed.

He said the movie industry has talked about digital projection for the past 15 to 20 years.

Babbitt hasn’t changed the admission and snack prices since he bought the theater. Tickets are $4.50 for adults and $3 for children compared to $8 for evening screenings at most area theaters. A large popcorn and drink combo is $5.50. He wants movie-goers to experience the wonders on the big screen as much as he has since he began working in theaters.

The Strand Theatre opened on Sept. 30, 1890 as an opera house. It operated as an opera house the foundation.

First, the campaign committee must raise the estimated $1110,000 to $120,000 to purchase the digital projectors, sound systems and screens.

Peachey, the committee’s chairperson, said last week the non-permanent fund has been established with the foundation. She is very excited about the initial response from the public.

“It’s been great. So many people are interested.

We have some ideas about raising the funds,” she said following a Wednesday meeting in City Hall.

until Aug. 1, 1919 when owner Al Boyer converted the building to a movie theater. Hudson Enterprises purchased it in 1928 and opened the Strand Theatre on Aug. 1, 1929. He expanded seating to 953, installed a new screen and stereo sound system, and offered double features and serials on Saturdays.

In 1952 Hudson installed a 33-foot Cinemascope screen and a stereophonic sound system.

Robert Hudson died in 1972, and his wife took over managing the business. In 1980 she turned the Strand into a twin-screen theater with two 14-by-25-foot screens and expanded the lobby and office area. One side seats 223 with 80 more in the balcony, and the other side seats 222 with 82 in the balcony. The outside ticket booth was eliminated. Ron Hudson, Mrs. Hudson’s son, took over managing the Strand.

Hudson Enterprises sold the Strand Theatre in 1984, bought it back in 1991 and sold it again in 1992 to David John of Auburn.

Babbitt bought if from John.

The campaign’s official kickoff is planned for next month.

“Strand Theatre: Keep the Lights On” brochures have been printed with a form to make a tax-deductible contribution to the Noble County Community Foundation for the Strand Theatre: Keep the Lights On fund. Donations may be sent after Nov. 1 to the foundation, 1599 Lincolnway South, Ligonier IN 46767 or through the website NobleCountyCF.org by clicking on Noble County Gives at the top and then Donate Now.

Charges pending in hit and run Fort Wayne man hits Angola woman with car ASHLEY — Criminal charges for failure to stop after an injury accident are under review by the DeKalb County Prosecutor’s Office following a Saturday accident.

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Deputy Lee Stoy said in a news release that a 5:52 a.m. crash in the 500 block of Thompson Drive happened between a motorist and pedestrian.

Patricia Converse,

Angola, said she was walking north in a parking lot when a vehicle driven

by John Robert Hapner II, 24, Fort Wayne, allegedly struck her on her right thigh with his vehicle. Upon being struck she fell and received injuries to her right leg and back. Converse refused medical treatment at the scene.

Converse said Hapner advised her he would meet her inside a building after he parked. She was assisted to the building by a witness to wait for him, but he left the scene.

A witness received a phone call from Hapner and he admitted to striking

Converse and left the scene.

The witness then told him he needed to return to the scene to provide a statement.

Hapner then told the witness he had to pick up his daughter and transport her to Allen County to meet with his ex-wife and would return to the scene in 30 minutes.

A second witness reported from his place of employment that Hapner told him he had just struck a woman in the parking lot. The witness then said Hapner came back in the building to meet with Converse, but then left to find her. At that point, the witness returned to work after being unable to find Converse.

TEAM: Beck helped find a missing man in July FROM PAGE A1

dogs — which includes at least 16 hours a month — handlers must have basic communication, medical, firearms and other certifications.

“It’s nice to have multiple handlers, because we’re all volunteer,” said Abbs. “We are actually looking for more.”

Those interested may contact her at sable@ligtel. com.

Multiple dogs are called to a scene along with other official presence for safety of the trackers while they are focused on their job.

“To really cover it, it’s going to take a lot of people,” said Abbs. “Get the resources called in immediately.”

Sometimes they load up and head toward a scene only to get called off because the person was found, said Norton, but they err on the side of extra manpower.

“Everybody works together really well,” said Abbs.

Ready for action Dog handlers must be independent and organized, Abbs said — able to keep up with training and documentation. Candidates should be in good health and physically fit.

Norton said it can be a physical challenge “when you’re running through woods and soybean fields and corn fields.”

The dogs also are trained in agility.

“They may have to go through rubble. They may have to cross a log in a creek,” said Abbs. “They have to conquer fears, also.”

Among the training equipment on her 40-acre property in Wawaka are ladders the dogs have to learn to climb. The training there is offered free of charge to participants, said Abbs, who has worked in education for 30 years and is a sensory consultant for the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative as well as the chief of training for Orange Township Fire Department.

“It’s constant learning,” said Abbs. “Every dog is different. Every handler is different.”

To keep Beck up to snuff, Norton takes him to playgrounds such as Friendship Park in Angola, where he can climb up and through things.

“I love it,” said Norton. “I like to learn new things.”

She and Beck trained for 11 months before he was ready for service. He has a crate in her patrol vehicle and a bed in her office. His equipment is always set out and ready to go.

Ralston, who adopted Samson from the Steuben County Humane Society shelter last July, trained for about 14 months before receiving his Level 1 Man Trailer certification just a couple of weeks ago. He plans to receive his Level 2 certification in the next six months, then begin to work on more difficult lessons, such as urban tracking where the dogs find scents on concrete and asphalt.

“I think there was a need in our community,” said Ralson, who extolled Abbs’ expertise. She has been a dog trainer since 1983, having developed a love for it at age 7 in 4-H. “She’s my dog whisperer,” said Norton, who got Beck as a puppy a year and a half ago. He was purchased with a $3,000 private donation that also covered equipment such as a global positioning system, radios, lines and crates. Beck even has a bulletproof vest.

Norton got him as a puppy, she said, so he would become attached to her, and he is a member of her family. Though they are tenacious and prone to run, Ralston described the hounds as “sweet” and “pleasant.”

“He’s going to find you and give you a big kiss,” Norton said.

A nose for the job Bloodhounds are people trackers, superb at finding a trail and sticking to it until the subject is found. Unlike other dogs, bloodhounds have scent discrimination.

They are given clothing or other items used by the person, and they will search for only that scent.

“You could track somebody into a crowd,” said Ralston. “It’s amazing what these dogs can do.”

Beck helped find a missing Bronson, Mich., man in late July. He had been gone for 2 1/2 days, and the search had been extensive. With Karen Karrer, a former Fort Wayne firefighter who has the third bloodhound on the ISTA team, Norton and Beck went to the search area at 6 a.m.

The weather had been hot and the morning cool could “push the scent back to the ground. It was wetter,” said Norton.

lost-person behavior training, Karrer began to look more closely when the dogs homed in on a smell.

Lost person behavior used data from past searches to define traits for age groups — a 1- to 5-year-old, for example, is generally found within a mile radius of where he was last seen.

They found the body of 48-year-old Thomas Miller in a retention pond near his home. He had gone looking for his Jack Russell terrier, which was located lost and hungry by searchers.

“I had been there the whole day before,” said Norton. “I know we gave the family closure.”

While she’s been on several searches, Norton said she has yet to run one for the Orland Police Department “She could be used more than she is,” Norton said.

Beck is a police officer; the only K9 on the ISRT. She has also been trained in drug searches, building clearing and officer protection. Polly German is Beck’s backup handler, and Orland Deputy Kenny Steele travels with her, too.

“If she head checks twice to one side, he knows to watch that side,” said Norton. Searches can become dangerous; Abbs described a scene where searchers were called on a suicide-risk report, and the subject came walking out of the woods agitated, with a gun in his hand.

Those who put their own time and money into the team do so to help others, despite the risks and difficulties it presents. They are a unique group, and when a loved one is lost, they are friends and saviors.

AIRPORT: Minnesota offers electronic pull-tabs FROM PAGE A1

to expand gambling even as new casinos in neighboring states are cutting into Indiana’s casino revenues.

The General Assembly rejected proposals last year that would have moved riverboat casinos to land-based facilities and allowed live table games at two horse racing tracks.

Even if lawmakers were to consider adding gambling at the airport, Wells said the revenue would still have to flow to a state entity before it could be used to subsidize non-stop service to key locations.

Sicuso and Champion say it will take “millions” more in subsidies to increase nonstop service to Indianapolis International Airport.

It’s unclear whether airport gambling could bring in enough to make that possible.

Minnesota began offering electronic pull-tabs at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport in hopes of generating $3 million for a new Vikings football stadium. It was the first airport outside Nevada to offer gambling.

But the Minneapolis Star-Tribune found travelers spent less than $34,000 in the first six months of the year.

Chicago officials have discussed installing slot machines in the city’s airports for several years, but a Chicago Tribune analysis of gambling revenue at McCarran International

Airport in Las Vegas suggests airport gambling isn’t as lucrative as some people think.

McCarran’s 1,271 slots generated $25.6 million in 2010, or about $55 per machine per day, according to the Tribune. That was less than half the average of $118 per day generated by slots in Las Vegas casinos.

That doesn’t surprise Mike Smith, president of the Casino Association of Indiana. He questioned whether travelers would spend as much money as a traditional casino crowd.

“When I go, I want to go and have a good time with my wife and friends and enjoy the atmosphere,” he said. “I’m not sure you get that at an airport.”

Obama, party unified

AP

Nelly Mathov, 79, holds a sign while protesting against the government shutdown outside the federal building in Los Angeles on Oct. 2. President Barack Obama summoned congressional leaders to the White House on

the second day of a partial government shutdown that has furloughed hundreds of thousands of workers and closed military cemeteries as far away as France.

Voters fed up with the enemy WASHINGTON (AP) — Hey, fed-up Americans, here’s a scary thought after the dispiriting spectacle of the government shutdown: You’re the ones who sent these members of Congress to Washington, and they really are a reflection of you.

For all the complaints about Washington, it was American groupthink that produced divided government in the past two elections and a Congress that has been tied in knots lately.

John Adams, who would become the country’s second president, wrote in 1776 that legislators “should be in miniature an exact portrait of the people at large.”

More than 200 years later, members of the current entangled House “are probably a very accurate reflection of how their constituents feel,” says Ross Baker, a Rutgers University political scientist.

Not that people are ready to take ownership of the failings of their

representatives.

“Of course not,” says Baker. “It’s a completely dissociative view of American politics — that somehow there are these grasping, corrupt, tone-deaf politicians in Washington who are totally unconnected to the caring and attentive, compassionate person” that an individual voter has elected to Congress.

With the government now powering back up to full speed and the next budget crisis pushed off at least until January, there is no shortage of speculation about whether voters will retaliate in the 2014 elections against lawmakers for this fall’s budget impasse.

A lot depends on how the next year goes.

President Barack Obama is expressing hope that the same spirit that ultimately produced a deal to end the shutdown and avert default will allow the country to make progress on other issues such as improving the immigration system.

“If we disagree on something, we can move on and focus on the things we agree on, and get some stuff done,” Obama said Thursday.

But the president acknowledged difficulties ahead, what with the challenges of divided government and pressures from the political extremes.

“And,” Obama added, “let’s face it. The American people don’t see every issue the same way.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has pledged to continue GOP efforts to “stop the train wreck” that he calls the president’s health law.

For now at least, public sentiment toward Obama, congressional leaders and Congress in general is grim.

Nearly three-quarters of voters want to see most members of Congress defeated, a much higher level than at the same point prior to the 2006 and 2010 elections in which control of the House changed hands, according to the Pew Research Center.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, this month’s budget battles brought about a remarkable period of party unity, a welcome change for the White House after a summer of disputes over possible military action in Syria, government spying programs and the president’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve.

But Democratic solidarity will face a tougher test during the broader budget talks following the reopening of the government and the increase of Treasury’s borrowing authority. While the prospect of a large-scale agreement is slim, Republicans will try to extract concessions from Obama on spending, deficit reduction and entitlement reform — all areas where Democratic lawmakers have worried the president is willing to give up too much.

“When things get serious, some of these negotiations are going to be awfully tough for people,” Jim Manley, former adviser to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said of congressional Democrats.

Throughout the 16-day shutdown and march toward the debt ceiling deadline, congressional Democrats lined up solidly behind Obama and his vow to not negotiate with Republicans.

It was a hard-line stance that many in the party wished he had taken during previous fiscal fights.

Democratic unity was further bolstered by the fissures that emerged among Republicans and a burst of polling that showed the GOP was taking the brunt of the public’s blame for the shutdown. And in the end, every congressional Democrat voted for the deal that keeps the government open until Jan. 15, lifts the debt ceiling until Feb. 7, and opens two months of budget negotiations.

AP

In this February file photo, President Barack Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, left, smile for photographers on Capitol Hill in Washington after the unveiling of a statue of Rosa Parks. Obama and congressional Democrats are relishing the party unity forged by the fall fiscal fights. But their solidarity will face a tough test if Obama negotiates with Republicans on spending levels and entitlement cuts, areas where Democrats have long feared the president is willing to give away too much.

But if any agreement does emerge from those talks, it will likely require Obama to make concessions that could rankle his Democratic allies.

The biggest sticking point could be over reforms to federal benefit programs, which Democrats have refused to accept without accompanying increases in tax revenue — a non-starter for GOP leaders. The budget plan Obama outlined this year put Democrats on edge because it proposed bold changes to Medicare and Social Security.

One possible compromise in the end-of-the-year talks may involve Obama offering more modest entitlement changes in exchange for easing the automatic spending cuts known as the sequester, echoing an idea floated by House Republicans during the shutdown.

The sequester is unpopular with both parties. But there is little consensus over how to offset the spending cuts, which are scheduled to intensify in mid-January, with the Pentagon bearing most of the cuts.

Escaped Florida killers caught at motel TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Two convicted killers who were freed from prison by phony documents were captured together without incident Saturday night at a Panama City motel, authorities said.

Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker, both 34, were taken into custody about 6:40 p.m. at Coconut Grove Motor Inn. They were apprehended just a couple of hours after their family members held a news conference urging the men to turn themselves in.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not immediately release any other details about their capture or investigation.

A woman who answered the phone at the motel said she saw police coming and they went into room 227. The woman, who didn’t want to give her name, said authorities didn’t stop by the office before they moved in.

Jenkins and Walker were both serving life sentences at the Franklin Correctional Facility in

the Panhandle before they were released within the last month. The bogus paperwork, complete with case numbers and a judge’s forged signature, duped prison officials and reduced their sentences to 15 years.

Jenkins was released Sept. 27 and Walker was set free Oct. 8.

Family members and friends of the men said Saturday they initially thought their release was legitimate and spent time with them, planning a birthday party for one and going to church with the other.

Both Jenkins and Walker went to an Orlando jail after their release and registered as felons, as required by law. They filled out paperwork, had their photographs taken and were even fingerprinted.

By doing this, authorities said they didn’t raise any alarms.

Henry Pearson, who is Jenkins’ uncle and his father figure, said he brought Jenkins clothes when he picked him up from prison last month and drove him to see his

mother and grandmother.

Pearson planned a birthday party at his home for Jenkins a few days later, but he never showed up. Pearson said he was completely shocked to learn Wednesday that Jenkins was not supposed to be out of prison.

He learned Jenkins was captured on TV and then a law enforcement agent called his home unexpectedly and let Jenkins talk to his wife.

“He just said that he was OK and that he loved us,” Pearson said. “We have a great sense of relief because we did not know how this would end up.”

Walker’s mother, Lillie Danzy, said the family thought their prayers had been answered when she got a call saying Walker was being released. There wasn’t time to pick him up, so he hopped a bus to central Florida.

Walker was at church last Sunday. His mother said they have been cooperating with authorities and made no attempts to hide him.

Argentine train crashes — again BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A commuter train slammed into the bumper at the end of the line Saturday at the same station in Argentina’s capital where 52 people were killed in a similar crash last year. This time there was no immediate report of deaths, but at least 80 people were injured.

A mob quickly formed, unleashing its fury at the train operators. Passengers chanted “murderer, murderer!” at the injured driver through the shattered cabin window.

Officers intervened and the driver was soon hospitalized under police custody.

Police in riot gear then took control of the Once station after the angry crowd broke glass and threw stones in the street outside.

At least 80 people were injured, including an 8-yearold boy, according to the Security Secretariat. Of those, five people had broken bones, but none of the wounds were life-threatening, said Security Secretary Sergio Berni.

Some of the injured here hit by shattered glass from the train’s windows, he said.

Berni said it was too early to say why the train failed to stop, crashing through the bumper at the end of the line and ending up wedged between the floor and ceiling of the platform. One end of the huge iron hydraulic bumper that protects the end of the line was driven deep into the train car, while the other end was lifted over the platform and jammed into the turnstiles.

Notre Dame beats USC, 14-10 SOUTH BEND (AP) — Tommy Rees threw two touchdowns before leaving the game with an injury and Notre Dame snapped a five-game home losing streak to USC with a 14-10 victory on Saturday night.

Rees was 14 of 21 passing for 166 yards with TD throws to Troy Niklas and TJ Jones in the first half. Rees left the game when he was sacked by USC linebacker Lamar Dawson in the third quarter and didn’t return.

USC managed just 121 total yards of offense in the second half. After converting both third-down conversions on their opening scoring drive, the Trojans went 0-of-11 the rest of the game.

The Irish (5-2) beat the Trojans (4-3) for the third time in the past four games, after losing the previous eight straight, but

won at home for the first time since Pete Carroll’s first year as USC coach in 2001. USC won last week in Ed Orgeron’s first game as interim coach following Lane Kiffin’s dismissal, but this is the earliest the Trojans have three losses since starting that 2001 season 2-5.

Marqise Lee, who sat out against Arizona with a sprained knee, had two catches for 18 yards in the first half but didn’t play in the second half. Silas Redd, the Penn State transfer who missed the first five games with a knee injury, got the bulk of the carries in the first half with leading rusher Tre Madden out with an injured hamstring, but had just two carries five yards in the third quarter. He finished with 19 carries for 112 yards.

With Rees out, the Irish

attempted just four more passes and none of them was close as the Irish could only 44 yards total offense in the second half.

Cam McDaniel led the Irish rushing game with 92 yards on 18 carries. USC’s Cody Kessler was 20-of-34 passing with an interception, with Nelson Agholor catching six passes for 39 yards.

USC also was hampered by 11 penalties for 95 yards and Andre Heidari missed field goals of 40 and 46 yards, leaving him 2-of-7 on field goals of 30 yards or more this season.

Both teams squandered scoring opportunities in the first half. The USC defense was the first to come up big as safety Su’a Cravens was unblocked and tackled McDaniel for a 3-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. The Trojans responded with

Hostetler regional champion

a 96-yard touchdown drive, with Redd rushing for 40 yards on six carries.

The Irish tied the game on a 7-yard scoring pass from Rees to Niklas, his fifth touchdown catch of the season, tying him for second with Tyler Eifert in 2011 and Ken MacAfee in 1975 for scoring catches in a season by a tight end.

Agholor returned a 47-yard punt by Notre Dame 48 yards to the Notre Dame 25, with another five yards added on because Notre Dame lined up in an illegal formation on the punt. But after Kessler threw an 11-yard pass to Lee, the Trojans had to settle for a 22-yard field goal.

The Irish took the lead with a 91-yard drive on five plays, highlighted by two runs by McDaniel.

Canterbury squeaks by DeKalb in regional

BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — Two area teams and 12 individuals earn semistate berths at the West Noble Cross Country Regional on a wet, chilly Saturday.

One team and six individuals from non-qualifying teams in each race did well enough to advance to the New Haven Semistate this coming Saturday at The Plex in Fort Wayne.

Advancing to the semistate were the top five regional teams and the top 10 individual not from semistate-qualifying teams.

Led by first-time regional champion Abby Hostetler, Fremont’s girls are returning to semistate and did so at less than full strength Saturday. The 23rd-ranked Eagles ran without key sophomore Katie Culler because of a foot ailment and still finished fourth with only five runners. They eked past fifth-place Bishop Dwenger 128-134.

Local girls making the semistate individually were East Noble senior Alexia Zawadzke, who placed ninth in 19 minutes, 19.56 seconds); Prairie Heights junior Aspen Dirr (10th, 19:28.57), DeKalb sophomore Krista McCormick (11th, 19:30.9), Angola freshman Josey Korte (12th, 19:32.39), Garrett freshman Maranda Malcolm (19th, 19:53.37) and West Noble junior Amairany Cruz (20th, 19:54.83).

HUNTERTOWN — The two finalists in Saturday’s Class 2A Carroll Regional, No. 16 DeKalb and defending Class A state champion Canterbury, featured elite scorers in Brennan Cochran and Britt Watts. So it’s no surprise that the match came down to one of those two people making a great play.

Unfortunately for the Barons, it was Watts who scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal.

In the 61st minute, Watts took a pass near midfield on the right side, made a move on a DeKalb defender, dribbled into the box, got past another defender, shot and scored to put the Cavaliers up 2-1.

It’s a score they’d make stand, and win the regional championship.

“We fought hard (Saturday night),” said DeKalb head coach Jed Freels. “We got beat by a great player, a national player in Britt Watts. There’s no doubt that he’s the real deal. We contained him for 79 minutes and 30 seconds but we let him loose for 30 seconds and it came back to haunt us.”

Along with representing Canterbury, Watts is also part of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy.

“It clearly was an exciting moment and an exciting play,” KEN FILLMORE said Canterbury head coach Greg Fremont senior Abby Hostetler won her first regional cross country Mauch.

Homestead denies Barons regional title

DeKalb’s Taya Poynter (20) tries to keep the ball away from a Homestead player during Saturday’s Class 2A East Noble Regional championship game. The Barons lost to the Spartans 1-0 in extra time.

KENDALLVILLE — Just one week after going to extra time in the sectional final against Leo, the DeKalb girls soccer team found itself in overtime again in Saturday’s Class 2A East Noble Regional championship against Homestead.

Unlike the sectional, however, the match-winning goal would not come from the Barons. In the final minute of the first overtime, Homestead’s Allison Link put some outstanding curve on her corner kick and put it directly toward the far post and into the net. The Barons couldn’t get the equalizer in the second overtime, and the Spartans came away with the 1-0 win and the regional crown.

“Professional keepers can’t stop those,” said DeKalb coach Sam Weicht. “The ball’s going to have a couple of bounces and we were hoping they would go our way.

(Saturday) we played head-to-head with the (16th) ranked team in the state, a team that’s probably going to go on to state, and we played them 94 minutes of good, hard soccer. To lose on a corner kick is tough.”

Said Homestead coach Katie Metz: “We got lucky. DeKalb is an incredible team and they’ve had an incredible year. They gave us a run for our money and they defended well. (Saturday) the ball bounced our way.”

The Spartans (15-2-4) had been knocking on the door on previous corner kicks, putting shots on goal on a number of corners before finally getting the breakthrough goal. It took one heck of an individual effort to put the Barons down, though.

“It was a beautiful shot. No one probably could’ve saved that,” said DeKalb senior Katie Hamlin. “It was hard mentally but we still had seven minutes left. We just hustled our butts off and tried to score.

Of course, they had the corner and instead of getting angry, we should’ve been a little smarter on those. We didn’t adapt real well.

It didn’t work out the way we wanted.”

Homestead had been the aggressor throughout much of the second half, hitting the woodwork on two occasions in the second half. But the Baron defense hung tough, turning away 28 Spartan shots.

Thunder downed by Adrian, lose fourth-straight

BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Adrian College engineered two second half scoring drives to maintain a foothold on the top spot in the MIAA standings with a 14-9 victory over Trine University on Saturday.

The Bulldogs regrouped after being held to just 48 yards of total offense by the Thunder defense in the opening half.

“We came out in the second half with a whole new attitude,” said Adrian quarterback Aaron Tenney. “We came out on fire.”

Adrian moves to 5-1 overall and is 3-0 in the MIAA. “Obviously we hope to win the conference,” Tenney said. “We believe we’re in the driver’s seat right now and it’s ours to lose.”

Trine fell to 3-4 overall and 0-3 in the league. The Thunder lost their fourth game in a row.

“The positives are that we’re still playing together,” said Trine coach Matt Land. “It’s tough going on a four-game skid, but they’re playing hard.”

The Thunder led 3-0 at the half on a career-long 45-yard field goal by Tyler Keck. The senior also attempted a 43-yard kick in the final moments of the half that sailed wide left.

The Adrian offense spent much of the opening half stymied by the Thunder.

“Our defense put together a great plan,” Land said.

But Adrian benefited from a blocked punt early in the second

half to get the ball on the Thunder 36-yard line setting up the team’s first touchdown.

“Little things become big,” Land said.

The Charger boys were fifth with 126 to qualify for the semistate. Junior Brandon Arnold was fourth overall to lead West Noble in 16:19.6.

“Brad Pyle especially stepped up. He was our fifth runner in the sectional. He was our number two runner today,” Chargers coach Rusty Emmert said. “Alex Deluna ran strong solid race for us. Brandon ran a controlled race and looked good doing it.

“We knew what we were up against. There were three ranked teams in this field.

It’s good to be moving on.

We ran well.”

Pyle was 12th overall in 16:49.06. Deluna was 33rd in 17:16.38.

The individual boys earning semistate berths were regional runner-up Mark Beckmann from DeKalb in 15:54.94, EN sophomore Joseph Vandiver (10th in regional, 16:47), Fremont senior Alex Beams (22nd, 17:01.16), Angola senior Isaiah Mortorff (27th, 17:08.18), Baron junior Clayton Travis (29th, 17:13.24) and Hornet junior Nate Roe (30th, 17:13.56).

Both Carroll teams won regional titles. The Chargers are ranked sixth in the latest girls’ state poll and 11th in the boys’ rankings.

Concordia senior Zach Panning won the boys’ race in 15:28.94.

Carroll won the girls’ meet with 42, followed by No. 15 Homestead with 94 and Concordia with 107.

In the boys’ meet, the Chargers won over 24th-ranked Bishop Dwenger, 50-64. No. 21 Homestead was third and just ahead of the Cadets, 95-101.

Fremont’s girls faced some adversity, but their strong top four stood tall and provided a lot of cushion.

Freshman Riley Welch 18th in 19:50.97. Freshman Courtney Woosley was 27th in 20:17.7, and junior Makenna Cade was 30th in 20:25.71. Senior Riley McCrea was last in the 88-girl field, but her running meant a lot. The niece of Eagle coach Moses Castillo missed the sectional and Northeast Corner Conference meets because of injuries.

Castillo said Culler will run in the New Haven Semistate.

“We made some memories. Riley ran a PR (24:42.31). She’s a part of the team and we needed her,” Castillo said.

“We had everybody but Carroll through four (runners). If Riley ran a solid race, we’d be fine. Katie has got a future in front of her and we did not risk that,” he continued. “We picked it up. Now we can achieve some more goals we talked about.”

Season ends for Westview soccer team in regionals

Lindsey Marriott for much of the first half of the race before achieving separation.

“Abby took off up the hill near the football field,” Castillo said. “She has more left in the tank. We just have to stay healthy and have another good week of practice.”

Beams is the 13th Fremont boy to make semistate in the last 14 seasons.

“We were hoping for a better tie. But it’s not about time at this point of the season. It’s more about place.”

DeKalb was sixth in the boys’ race with 166 and seventh in the girls’ meet with 173. Barons coach Rowland Perez is looking to elevate his teams in a tough regional landscape, but is happy to have harriers move on in Beckmann, McCormick and Travis.

“This is one of the toughest regional in the state and no one is going to give you anything here,” Perez said. “We like to get some teams out and need to do some refiguring. We have a great start with Mark and Krista. We just need to get some help.

“Clayton is a hard worker with speed and strength. He has to get more endurance.

He is a 400- and 800-meter runner in track. But hard work paid off.”

Knights coach Mark Liepe is also proud of his semistate qualifiers.

He thought Vandiver

and Zawadzke both had pressure-free runs.

“They looked nice and smooth. We did not change a lot from what they did Tuesday (in the West Noble Sectional),” Liepe said.

“Hopefully we’ll save our best for last week.”

East Noble senior Jonathon Kane was about six seconds from an individual semistate qualifying spot. He placed 37th in 17:19.84.

Lakeland senior Joseph Trost was even closer as he finished right behind the last individual qualifier Robert Peck from Snider. Peck was 31st in 17:13.88. Trost was 32nd in 17:15.69.

Angola coach Paul Beckwith was proud of the overall program effort.

The Hornets graduated 13 seniors from last year, including three NCAA Division I athletes. Harrier Ericka Rinehart is at Ball State. Middle distance standout Brittany Beard and basketball standout Rachel Rinehart are both at IPFW. “I told the kids three things: improve, race with guts and run well. We did that today,” Beckwith said.

“Korte had a PR. “We had a great year.

We’re not done yet.”

At Prairie Heights, Dirr continues to run well and run healthy as she qualified for her second semistate.

She was plagued by calf problems last year. “I put in a lot of work. I’m excited,” she said.

Four minutes later Adrian would strike again when Dae’Von Robinson ran for a 15-yard score to complete a seven-play 45-yard drive. Dustin Salliotte kicked extra points after each score and the Bulldogs led 14-3.

Forced to punt on its next two possessions, the Thunder would manufacture a score with 3:39 remaining when Trine quarterback Andrew Dee threw to Jared Barton for a four-yard strike. Barton also had a key catch on a fourth-down play that kept the drive alive.

“We executed, threw the ball, ran the ball, and didn’t have any penalties,” Land said.

The Thunder followed with an onside kick, but Adrian recovered and ran the clock out.

Adrian finished with 234 yards of total offense. Tenney was 11-of-19 passing for 98 yards.

Nathan Hartline had seven catches for 84 yards. Damon Brown ran for 73 yards on 13 attempts.

Dee threw 15-of-35 passing for 201 yards for Trine. Barton had four catches for 72 yards. Richard Gunn finished with 113 yards rushing on 33 carries.

The Thunder play at home against Hope next Saturday before closing the regular season with road games at Olivet and Alma.

ARGOS — Westview’s girls soccer team put together another fine season.

But from time to time, it would start slow and that proved costly.

The Warriors had a slow start at a bad time Saturday night and they could not fully recover from it.

Argos scored both of its goals in the first three minutes and they held up in a 2-1 victory over Westview in a 1A regional match.

The Dragons (13-6-1) avenged a 1-0 home loss to Westview on Sept. 27 and will play West Lafayette (12-7) in the first semifinal of the Argos Semistate this coming Saturday at 10 a.m.

The Warriors ended their season last night at 15-5.

Freshman Courtney Dunlap scored for Argos in the second minute on an assist from classmate Kennedy Binkley. Not long after, senior Shelby Sanders scored off of a corner kick to put the Dragons up 2-0.

“We were flat-footed and were backing up,” Westview coach Jon Jantzi said. “We knew Argos was going to bring it at us. Our nemesis

has been coming out slow and we’ve done that four or five times this season.

“We let 10 (Dunlap) turn, tee and shoot. We gave up a corner kick and we can’t give up corner kicks.”

It was a pretty even match the rest of the way. Westview was more offensively assertive attempting to rally and really began to push forward midway through the second half.

A couple Warrior shots were a little wide.

Dragon junior goalkeeper Jenni Fishburn easily handled long-range shots.

Westview’s Tori Oesch had a penalty kick hit a goalpost with a little under 3 minutes left before halftime.

The Warriors outshot Argos 11-5 and had a 7-5 edge in corner kicks. But Westview did not get on the scoreboard until there was 21 seconds left on a goal from sophomore Erika Gamble after the Dragons were unable to clear the ball out of their defensive third of the field following a Warrior corner kick.

Argos took the ensuing kickoff and hit it deep in Westview’s defensive half

of the field to secure the regional championship.

“I know we battled. We showed heart and guts that we were missing earlier in the year,” Jantzi said.

“Argos took one game plan away and kept us away from through balls, but we had two other game plans that were working. I can’t be any prouder of these young ladies.”

The Warriors won the Northern Indiana Soccer Conference outright for the first time in program history and also won Northeast Corner Conference regular season and tournament championships before winning a sectional title.

Lone senior Amber Roth played in her final prep soccer match for Westview Saturday.

“Amber played totally outstanding. She was all over defensively. Her heart was definitely in the game tonight,” Jantzi said.

“I told the girls to not let this loss take away from what you accomplished,” he continued. “We have a lot youth coming up, and a lot of youth played in this (regional) game.”

REGIONAL: Season ends for DeKalb girls soccer FROM PAGE B1

Homestead was faster than DeKalb (17-3) at nearly every position, especially on the wings that the Barons like attacking so much, and it neutralized many efforts to push forward.

“Here at the end of the year we’ve tried to play to our outside mids a whole lot more and try to use our strengths together to play as a team,” Metz said. “We have a strong team 1 through 23. It’s a matter of playing together and working hard.”

DeKalb’s best chance to score came toward the end of the first half, with the Barons on the front foot in the last 7-8 minutes while also getting a couple decent looks at goal.

In that same time frame, the Spartans nearly scored on the counter. Hope Martin took a pass, dribbled and beat the final DeKalb defender near midfield to leave her 1-on-1 with goalkeeper Allie Gaff.

Gaff came out quickly to challenge, but Martin got past her. DeKalb’s Kayla Kissinger was the saving grace, hustling back to get her foot on the ball to prevent the goal and keep the match level.

Gaff also made a diving save in the 44th minute to keep Homestead off the scoreboard. Homestead also nearly scored three minutes from time, with Marisa Robinett blocking a shot

headed toward the back of the net — which was also off a corner.

Homestead goalkeeper Tori Hall finished with nine saves as the Barons tallied 10 total shots. Gaff had 15 saves in goal.

Not helping the Barons were numerous injuries.

Kacey Wells, the Barons’

second-leading scorer, barely played due to a foot injury.

Midfielder Alyson Noye also only played a few minutes due to shin splints, and a third stater, senior Madison VanWye, was puking before the match with flu-like symptoms.

But still, the Barons persevered.

“This whole season we felt like the underdogs. And (Saturday) we just had a lot of challenges to overcome,” Hamlin said. “It was tough but I’m so proud of how we came out here and we gave it our all. After that, you can’t ask for much more.”

It was the final match for DeKalb seniors Coral Martin, Wells, Hamlin, VanWye, Alyssa Willey and Alyssa Clark. Wells will play collegiately at the University of Indianapolis, and VanWye’s heading to the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

Weicht said that Martin, Hamlin and Willey are also exploring the possibility of playing collegiately.

“We’re going to miss them,” Weicht said. “You want to talk about a great group of seniors, leadership-wise. The leadership across the board has just been phenomenal.

“Our girls have faith in God and faith in each other.

Our girls are, bar none, some of the best girls in the state.

It could’ve went either way (Saturday).”

Knights finish 6-1 KENDALLVILLE — On Wednesday the East Noble Middle School

8th grade football team travelled to Summit Middle School in Fort Wayne to take on the Falcons. With third place in the conference on the line, the team knew they would need to play a full, physical game to win. After battling through three quarters, the Knights pulled away for a convincing 24-0 win.

The offensive line of Emmanuel Perez, Saul Castro, Kenny Cook, Griffen Daffron-Koebler, Bodey Holbrook, and Tristan Kamerer opened holes for RB Isaac Brown, who fought hard all night to gain extra yardage.

QB Andrew McCormick punched the ball into the end zone twice on option plays, with Brown barreling across the goal line for the final points. Perez converted 3-of-3 PAT attempts and McCormick also intercepted a pass at the goal line to stop a long Falcon drive in the third quarter. The Knights defense pitched a shut-out against a tough Summit offense, led by big hits from defensive tackles Tony Smith and Logan Strange.

The Knights finish a great season with a 6-1 record and 3rd place in the NHLMC.

EN team closes season at 3-4 KENDALLVILLE — The East Noble Middle School 7th grade football team completed their season by hosting the New Haven Bulldogs.

The Knights played tough against a strong New Haven squad, but came up short by a score of 26-12.

The Knights running game was solid all night, being led in rushing by running backs Kaiden Harshberger and Tanner Stacy. The Knights’ touchdowns came on runs from Harshberger and QB Blake Swygart.

In 5th quarter action, the Knights scored two touchdowns, one on a run

by RB Dan Burtch and another on a rumbling 75-yard fumble recovery

by LB Turner Patrick.

The Knights finish their season with a record of 3-4.

Fairfield rules NECC tourney, takes league title EMMA — Westview’s volleyball team lost to Fairfield 25-17, 25-16 in the championship match of the Northeast Corner Conference Tournament Saturday at the Warrior Dome.

The Warriors and the Class 3A state-ranked Falcons shared the NECC regular season title. They

both went 3-0 in their respecitve pools.

Westview defeated Prairie Heights (25-15, 26-24), Central Noble (25-11, 25-15) and Eastside (25-14, 25-11). Fairfield beat Angola (25-11, 25-13), Churubusco (25-12, 25-15) and West Noble 25-9, 25-15).

The Hornets and the

Panthers both went 2-1 in pool play and each won an extra match against NECC squads playing consolation matches. Central Noble won a pool play match over Eastside, 25-17, 25-20.

Brookston Perschke had 38 assists and 33 digs in the pool play matches for AHS (16-16). Claire Grubb had 22 digs and 13 kills.

BARONS: DeKalb ends season with 16-4 record FROM PAGE B1

“He’s been able to do that once a day his whole career. He’s had a great career for us and I’m glad it’s not over yet.�

DeKalb (16-4) played like the better team for longer stretches of the game, but Canterbury (13-7-1) converted its two best chances of the night while the Barons were unlucky on multiple occasions. Landon Cochran hit the crossbar in the 24th minute, and the Barons pushed a handful of shots just wide or over the crossbar throughout the entire 80 minutes. “We had opportunities,� Freels said. “We get breakaways, we kick it to the goal and we go wide and we just go over. And we make one mistake. Their first goal was kind of a fluke goal, too.

But we got beat by a good club (Saturday night). You can see why they won the 1A state title last year. The boys gave it everything they had.�

Canterbury took a 1-0 lead with only three seconds left in the first half. After a DeKalb player was called for a foul, Canterbury sent a free kick into the box.

The first touch hit off the crossbar, but Jacob Fritz was right there to head the ball in for the lead.

Perhaps a little upset

about the fluke-ish goal, DeKalb was on the attack early in the second half and finally equalized in the 46th minute. Landon Cochran’s free kick from just outside hit the box nailed the post, and Evan Freed was right there to smash in the rebound. “We knew with that late goal they got, we had to come out quick and strike again just like we did in sectionals. And that’s what we did but we fell short,�

Landon Cochran said. “We should’ve finished the game off in the last 20 minutes after they got that goal, but we couldn’t put the ball in the net. It’s a heartbreaker, especially for the seniors.

We wanted to get back to semistate.�

It was an aggressive match throughout. DeKalb’s Chris Hamlim received the match’s first yellow card in the 15th minute for a reckless tackle. Two Canterbury players received yellows as well: Seth Stratton in the 59th minute and Herman DeJong in the 69th minute.

The Barons came close to getting the tying goal in the final minutes. Brennan Cochran got his head on a pass that sailed just over the crossbar, and a shot coming off a Brennan Cochran corner kick went just wide

of the net. However, both goals would’ve been waived off, as Cochran was called for offsides on the first one and the referee whistled a foul in the box on the second one. “The Cochran brothers are just a load,� Mauch said. “DeKalb came out and showed they had some mettle of their own. They were determined at the start of the second half but we were able to put our game together in longer stretches.

But boy, we knew they were coming. That team’s not going to sit back and let you hold the ball down the stretch.�

Asthin Egly made eight saves in goal for DeKalb.

His counterpart, Robert DelBello, also made eight saves. DeKalb was credited for 13 shots on goal and Canterbury 10.

It was the final game for Baron seniors Grant Lockwood, Landon Cochran, Dakota Gurden, Chase Secrist, Ross Gramling, Egly and Kaleb Johnson. “We’re sorry we let our seniors down but we’ll be back,� Freels said. “Without a doubt, our seniors have accomplished amazing things. We’re going to really miss them because they’re great young men and represent their high school in so many aspects.�

SPORTS BRIEFS • Simpson still on top LAS VEGAS (AP) — Webb Simpson maintained a four-stroke lead Saturday in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, birdieing four of the last seven holes at TPC Summerlin Making his first start since helping the U.S. win the Presidents Cup, the 2012 U.S. Open champion shot a 4-under 67 to reach 19 under. He opened with rounds of 64 and 63.

Chesson Hadley was second after a 67, reaching 15 under with an eagle on the par-5 16th. The Web.com Tour Championship winner last month, Hadley is making his fourth career PGA Tour start.

Jeff Overton was third at 14 under after a 68.

Jason Bohn had a 69 to reach 13 under, and Sean O’Hair shot a 63 to join first-round leader J.J. Henry, defending champion Ryan Moore, William McGirt, Ryo Ishikawa and Russell Knox at 12 under.

After opening with a course-record 60, Henry has shot 71-70. McGirt shot 64, Ishikawa had a 68, and Moore and Knox shot 69.

Sauter wins crash-marred Talladega Truck race TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Johnny Sauter raced to his third NASCAR Truck Series victory of the season Saturday, surviving a huge crash on the final turn at Talladega Superspeedway that took out Kyle Busch and everyone else racing at the front of the pack.

Three sets of trucks paired up in the closing laps — Sauter with series leader Matt Crafton, Busch with Dakoda Armstrong, and Ross Chastain with Parker Kligerman.

Sauter was the only one to be spared from a 12-truck crash that occurred when pole-sitter Jeb Burton got tangled up with Busch, sending the Sprint Cup star slamming into both the inside and outside walls. Miguel Paludo’s No. 32 machine flipped and slid across the line upside down, before turning back over in the first turn, finally coming to a stop with flames flickering from the hood.

Sauter took the checkered flag in his No. 98 Toyota, while David Starr weaved through the carnage to claim second place.

Chastain sustained heavy damage but slid across the line in third.

Most of the drivers were treated at the infield medical center and released, but Justin Lofton was transported to a hospital for further evaluation. NASCAR did not reveal the extent of his injuries.

Crafton wound up ninth in a battered truck, but that was good enough to extend his lead in the season standings to 57 points over Ty Dillon with four races remaining.

James Buescher, who had been running second overall, slipped back after being taken out in an earlier crash — one of four big pileups that stretched the finish of the race to near nightfall. Buescher wound up 26th.

Nordqvist, Hull-Kirk share lead INCHEON, South Korea (AP) — Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist shot a 2-under 70 to remain tied for the lead with Australia’s Katherine Hull-Kirk after the second round of the KEB HanaBank Championship.

Nordqvist had four birdies and two bogeys to move to 7-under 137, while Hull-Kirk had an eventful day with an eagle, a double bogey, five birdies and three bogeys in her 70.

Defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway was a stroke back along with South Korea’s Ju Young Pak and Amy Yang. Pettersen had a 69, and Pak and Yang shot 71.

Talladega qualifying rained out; Almirola on pole TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Aric Almirola claimed his second career pole Saturday when rain washed out qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway, forcing the field to be set based on practice speeds.

Almirola and his teammate at Richard Petty Motorsports, Marcos Ambrose, both went out for Friday’s first practice thinking there was a decent chance of rain the following day.

So they hooked up in the draft with the idea of putting up a fast time. The strategy worked to perfection — Almirola posted a blistering lap of exactly 202 mph, Ambrose was third at 201.876, and the rain came on Saturday.

Jeff Burton will start from the outside of the front row based on a speed of 201.987.

Almirola’s only previous pole was for the 600-miler at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May 2012.

He wound up finishing 16th.

Chase leader Matt Kenseth will start from the 12th spot. His closest challenger, Jimmie Johnson, got the 11th position. Sam Hornish Jr. was the only entry eliminated from the 43-car field.

Komets lose opening game FORT WAYNE — Toledo outscored Fort Wayne twice in the shootout to spoil the Komets’ 2013-2014 season-opening game by a 4-3 score before 9,676 fans at the Memorial Coliseum.

The Komets got two goals from Mickey Lang and one from Chris Auger. Lang also scored the Komets’ lone shootout goal.

Brandon Marino had two assists for Fort Wayne.

Goalie John Muse turned aside 18-of-21 shots for Fort Wayne.

Our View •

What have we learned?

In the debate over who won or lost in the Washington shutdown confrontation, most people agree there were no winners.

But good can come from bad. The good that can come from the shutdown is new wisdom.

Successful people learn from their mistakes.

The lesson should be clear: If we don’t seek compromise, we cannot move forward in a positive way. Shutdowns only waste time, money and talent.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has promised he will not allow another government shutdown As we continue to tackle as part of a strategy to repeal the challenges of health Obamacare. care and government “One of my favorite old spending, cooler heads Kentucky sayings must prevail. Otherwise, is there’s no education in the American people the second kick of a mule,” he will continue to be the said Thursday.

“The first kick losers. of a mule was when we shut the government down in the mid 1990s and the second kick was over the last 16 days. There is no education in the second kick of a mule. There will not be a government shutdown.”

He added, “I think we have fully now acquainted our new members with what a losing strategy that is.”

To a greater or lesser extent, most Americans share the conservative views that the federal government should spend less and go light on regulations that hinder economic growth.

The Washington shutdown confrontation has some similarities with the unfortunate video sign on U.S. 6 in Kendallville that compared President Obama to Hitler. Both the the government shutdown and last week’s Hitler sign demonstrate that we should seek change in ways that don’t include name-calling and distortion.

Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., who was among the senators who voted Wednesday for the bipartisan deal ending the shutdown and increasing the debt limit, said he will continue his efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.

But he also said that he realizes a government shutdown and our nation defaulting on its debt are not the way to do it.

As we continue to tackle the challenges of health care and government spending, cooler heads must prevail. Otherwise, the American people will continue to be the losers.

•

Superheroes among us No matter how gloomy things seem politically, real light — and hope — appear when we recognize the work being done by volunteers in our area.

For example, individuals described as “superheroes” were honored Wednesday at the annual Northeast Indiana CASA Volunteer Banquet.

Northeast ... real light — and Indiana CASA hope — appear when executive director Kristi Bachman we recognize work being praised the 40 done by volunteers in CASA volunteers from Noble, LaGrange, DeKalb, our area.

Steuben and Whitley counties who served nearly 350 kids last year.

CASA volunteers serve as the voice of children in the courts. For some children, their only source of stability is their CASA volunteer.

These lines excerpted from a poem by Belinda Wilson, read by Bachman at the banquet, explain why CASA volunteers are superheroes: You guide them through the system. These dear children with all their fears … You gently wipe away their tears … Silenced by injustice because people they have trusted … have lied … You show them truth and justice cannot be denied …

What if love really was blind in my case?

Someone upstairs was looking out for me when I starting looking for love.

I’m reflecting on that this weekend, exactly 38 years after I married Betsy in an incredible stroke of luck.

It all started last week when a staff member who’s known me too long dragged out a 1970 newspaper clipping of someone she said I dated back then.

She was right about the circumstances but wrong about the clipping, which I insisted was not the same young woman. My memory hasn’t slipped that much, and I still can recognize someone I dated — even if only once — from someone I never met.

That particular young woman was quite attractive, but turned out to set my personal record for the worst date ending. When we arrived home, her boyfriend was standing in her driveway with

his arms crossed in an aggressive posture. I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend, but fortunately, I knew his older brother very well.

No violence ensued, and I basically took the attitude that: Hey, buddy, she’s all yours.

He turned out to be the first of her three or four husbands, and today I’m thankful that he chased me away.

After minimal dating experience in high school, my prospects improved in the summer after graduation due to my first pair of contact lenses. I owe the fact that I had any love life at all to my optometrist. Minus my thick, black-rimmed glasses, I suddenly didn’t look like such a geek anymore. My confidence soared, and I set off for college and a

fresh start with girls who didn’t know my reputation as a nerd.

As a novice at love, I fell hard over and over again. It’s a good thing that most of those dates didn’t share my enthusiasm for the idea of a lifetime together.

Strangely enough, on a DAVE couple of occasions when they did, the prospect KURTZ scared me so much that I was the one who backed away. Divine guidance, I guess.

One of my best friends from high school experienced the same phenomenon. On nights when he didn’t have a date, I was always available to drive endlessly around Noble County, obsessing about whether his girlfriend was out with someone else. (Usually, yes.) She eventu-

ally picked the other guy. It turned out be a train wreck. Providence knew better than my friend that they would have been a terrible match.

After college, my social life reverted to the monk-like existence of my high school years.

This time, the problem was that work left no time for romance. It became clear that I would never meet the right woman unless fate placed her squarely between me and my manual typewriter.

To my good fortune, that’s exactly what happened. Betsy had friends at the newspaper office and stopped by to visit. I looked up from my latest story just long enough to notice the fit of her pink denim jacket. The rest is history, although it wasn’t quite that easy.

Realistically, I had no chance with a woman that gorgeous, but she accompanied me to an office party. We both went home

thinking it was a one-and-done flirtation. However, she kept stopping by to visit with the office receptionist, so I tried again one Friday night, and six months later that receptionist was our matron of honor.

Take one look at the photo accompanying this column, and you’ll agree that I’ve been a very lucky man. But these days I’m not so sure optometrists helping matters.

Next week, as we start our 39th year together, Betsy is scheduled for a major upgrade in her eyesight. Her vision could end up better than it’s been in years.

What if, in my case, love really was blind — and what happens if suddenly it can see again?

The women are taking over The headline in the Washington Post read, “Moderates flex muscle.” Below that were pictures of 12 senators, six from each party, who are helping to forge a bipartisan compromise that would reopen the government and pay its bills. But the story never mentioned a key fact: Five of the 12 are women, three Republicans and two Democrats.

That’s no accident. The 20 COKIE ROBERTS female members of the Senate STEVEN ROBERTS might be the last outpost of civility and sanity left on Capitol Hill.

Sen. Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who organized the group, told the New York Times: “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that women were so heavily involved in trying to end this stalemate.

Although we span the ideological spectrum, we are used to working together in a collaborative way.”

That’s true, and Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Washington Democrat, made a good point on MSNBC: “If it were up to the women, this would be over already. There’s still a lot of testosterone going around.”

Even as the current stalemate reaches a conclusion, a new round of budget talks will start immediately. And it’s critical that female legislators from both parties stay involved and dilute the male hormones Cantwell describes. As Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, noted on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the women provide “a good model going forward” that restores and reinforces one of the most important words in the political lexicon: compromise.

Of course, not all women are pragmatists. Sen. Deb Fischer, a Nebraska Republican, is a hardline conservative and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, is a doctrinaire liberal. And then there’s the former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska who once ran for vice president and now seems increasingly detached from reality.

But in a capital choking on toxic levels of partisan hostility, the women senators have made a deliberate and determined effort to maintain communication across party lines. They meet about every six weeks for private dinners, and last Monday, in the midst of the current kerfuffle, the two New Hampshire senators — Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Kelly Ayotte — co-hosted an emergency girls-only pizza party.

“We’re meeting, getting to know each other on a personal level,” Ayotte told MSNBC. “Certainly on Monday night, there was frustration on both sides of the aisle: ‘Let’s get this resolved for the American people.’”

Some of the women reflect the politics of their home regions, swing states like New Hampshire that oscillate in their

Online reaction strong to Obama/Hitler sign It’s probably no surprise that a video display on a Kendallville advertising sign that included a picture of President Barack Obama with an Adolf Hitler-style mustache generated a lot of response.

Video of the sign’s entire sequence was posted Monday on kpcnews.com, with a link posted on KPC’s Facebook page. Reaction was mostly negative.

Trisha Henn commented, “I don’t like him, nor did I vote for him, but comparing him to Hitler in front of the whole world is in poor taste.”

COMMENTS Darren Sible responded, “I don’t care that it’s a paid advertisement, the sign James Tew is privately owned and common sense and decency should have intervened. Regardless of what anybody’s political affiliation is, associating the city of Kendallville (by way of the “Welcome to Kendallville” slides in the rotation) and the businesses located in the plaza with this ad is distasteful and is a big part of why Kendallville has a bad reputation. This is NOT the kind of thing that makes me proud of where I come from.”

•

Barbara Bower agreed, “This is terrible. Our president should never be compared to Hitler. This puts a bad light on Kendallville, especially after the wonderful birthday celebration we had this summer when we were so proud of our town.”

agree with or against, the fact is our entire government is in shambles, and it is time that the working class AMERICAN PEOPLE, no matter your race, or religious beliefs stand up and take it back.”

And on The Fence Post, KPC Media Group’s online forum, sturmtiger posted: “The problem is not that it is President Obama’s image that is posted there but that it is the President of the United States that is posted there. You may not like him, but you simply cannot defame the office of the President this way.

In doing this you are not only abusing the office of the President but you are also belittling the great things that our parents’/grandparents’ generation did in WWII fighting an actual dictator.”

Judge’s action praised Several KPC Media Group Facebook fans posted praises in response to a story about Noble Circuit Judge G. David Laur ordering the Noble County Sheriff’s Department to transport a jailed Kendallville man who couldn’t make bail to visit with his dying son.

Lisa Amburgey Slone responded, “Judge Laur is always truly honorable and a man with true family values.”

To become a Facebook fan of KPC Media Group, “like” the page at facebook. com/kpcnews.

Online comments on KPC news stories about the sign reflected similar sentiments. kstout62 posted: “The person who owns this sign and accepted the money for the advertisement should be ashamed. This type of propaganda does not reflect the sentiments of our community and it shows nothing but disrespect.”

Highlights from last week’s East Noble High School homecoming football upset of state-ranked New Haven were posted at kpcnews.com on Monday. A second video features the crowning of the school’s homecoming royalty.

The video associated with Monday’s weekly Neighbors feature profiled Carol Meeks and her work at the LaGrange County Clothes and Food Basket.

• voting habits. Republican senators like Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska come from states that also elected senators from other parties; so do Democrat senators Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota.

But let’s be honest. There are inherent gender differences. Women are better at working and playing with others. As Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, puts it, when women cooperate, “it’s much less about ego and more about problemsolving.”

Women also share life experiences that help shape their approach to politics.

“We’re all used to balancing family budgets and dealing with children that are bullies and misbehave,” Stabenow told MSNBC. “And so sometimes that comes in handy.”

For most of our history women were virtually invisible on Capitol Hill. It’s stunning to realize that of the 44 women who have ever served in the Senate, almost half are there today. The first 13 female senators were appointed to replace their husbands, and the first woman to be elected on her own was Nancy Landon Kassebaum, who didn’t arrive until in 1978.

Since women comprise 53 percent of the electorate, 20 percent of the Senate is still a dismally low figure. Still, it represents real progress, a critical mass in terms of numbers and experience. Many are proven political players — Shaheen was New Hampshire’s governor, for example, while Ayotte was the state’s attorney general. So when the guys try to push them around, they know how to push back.

Then there’s the seniority system, which frustrated many women when they first came to Congress and is now their best friend. Seven women chair Senate committees, including some of the most important: Barbara Mikulski of Maryland on Appropriations, Patty Murray of Washington on Budget, and Dianne Feinstein of California on Intelligence.

“The women are taking over,” cracked Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and while he didn’t seem all that thrilled at the prospect, the country would be better off if he were right. If the grownups manage to recapture Capitol Hill, if the forces of reasonableness are restored to power, many of them will be wearing skirts.

Strategist expects growth With below-normal growth, the U.S. economy is not expected to see anything close to the economic expansion of Indiana and Fort Wayne this year. But national economic growth is expected to be better than normal next year.

That national BANKING forecast & FINANCE reported to Fifth Third Private Bank

clients on Oct. 11 at Hotel Fort Wayne by John Augustine, the bank’s chief investment strategist, was the consensus view from a monthly Bloomberg survey of economists, analysts and strategists.

They expect the rate of gross domestic product growth to be 1.6 percent this year, which will be down from 2.2 percent last year and a projected 2.7 percent next year and 3 percent in 2015.

What is considered a normal growth rate for the national economy has come down from 3 percent to 2.5 percent as a result of the Great Recession and the dragging impact of the federal debt, so the forecasts for next year and the following year are very favorable.

In addition to government spending, Fifth Third monitors the condition of the national economy by tracking what is happening with home sales, vehicle sales, construction, exports and employment.

“They’re all positive,” Augustine said. “The stress on the economy

FOR RENT

right now is from the public sector; the private sector is doing reasonably well. It’s too narrow … but it’s doing reasonably well. In fact, it’s unusual to have all five of those building blocks positive year over year.”

The unfavorable impact of the federal government shutdown is expected to be temporary, and Augustine said Congress deserves credit for reducing federal spending 3 percent while increasing the revenue coming in to the federal government 13 percent, which has put it in the position to start paying down debt.

“How are we doing in Indiana? We’re doing above average,” Augustine said. “Considering the U.S. economy did less than 2.5 (percent growth) and we did 3.3, we’re doing pretty well here in Indiana.”

Fort Wayne was expected to see 10-percent economic growth this year.

“One of the challenges we have is keeping people here. We’re losing part of our labor force,” he said.

It is a challenge that has confronted Fort Wayne and most metro areas in the state outside Indianapolis off and on for decades.

During the past 25 years, employment has grown 78 percent for Indianapolis while it has remained relatively flat in the rest of Indiana’s metro areas, he said, and “we’re getting pretty center-heavy in the state.”

S&P 500 pushes even higher NEW YORK (AP) — Investors shifted their focus from politics to profits on Friday and liked what they saw, pushing the Standard & Poor’s 500 index further into record territory.

Two days after Congress struck a last-minute deal to keep the U.S. from a devastating default on its debt, investors were bidding up stocks on surprisingly good profits from companies in industries both old and new.

General Electric and Morgan Stanley rose after reporting higher earnings than financial analysts had expected. Google surged nearly 14 percent, topping $1,000 a share for the first time.

“We’ve moved from the dysfunction of Washington to the reality of the global economy, and it looks pretty good,” said Ron Florance, deputy chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank.

Investors were also encouraged by a rebound in Chinese economic growth in the latest quarter.

The rise in stocks

follows a budget standoff in Washington that kept hundreds of thousands of federal workers from their jobs for 16 days and could have forced the government to miss payments on its debt. Congress agreed Wednesday to fund the government and allow it to borrow through early next year.

The S&P 500 set a record for the second straight day. The broad index of 500 companies, up 22 percent this year, added 11.35 points, or 0.7 percent, to a record 1,744.50. The gain this year is the index’s best since 2009, when it began its bull run. Since its recession low in March of that year, the S&P 500 has soared 158 percent, driven largely by a rebound in earnings, a housing recovery, greater investor confidence and the economic stimulus program by the Federal Reserve.

The Nasdaq composite was up 51.13 points, or 1.3 percent, at 3,914.28.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 28 points, or 0.2 percent, to 15,399.65,

and is 277 points below its own record.

Christine Short, a senior manager at S&P Capital IQ, said investors are relieved that Washington pulled back from the abyss by extending the U.S. borrowing authority until Feb. 7. But she’s not so sure how long the celebratory mood might last.

“We just bought ourselves a little more time, and the market seems to like that,” she said. “But we’re likely to go through the same cycle again in three months.”

Another concern is earnings. Despite good reports from a few big companies Friday, the third-quarter reporting season has just started and most companies aren’t expected to post blowout results.

Earnings for S&P 500 companies are expected to have grown 3.4 percent from a year earlier, the smallest quarterly increase in a year, according to S&P Capital IQ. At the start of 2013, third-quarter earnings were expected to grow at nearly triple that pace.

First Farmers had announced its plans relating to First Bank of Indiana in April. The Fed announcement said First Farmers obtained approval to operate branches at locations of the four First Bank of Indiana branches it acquired in Dana, Bargersville, North Judson and Hamlet.

First Farmers operates 24 banking locations, including branches in Wabash and Huntington.

It was after 4 o’clock and Myrtle, my muse, was late.

“What kept you so long?” I asked peevishly.

“I was busy,” she responded curtly. “You know, I do have a life, and I also have other writers who need me. So if I took a little extra time with breakfast, don’t get tough with me, buster.”

From experience, I knew to keep my displeasure to myself from here on. “I’m glad to see you,” I said meekly.

“What are you going to write about?” Myrtle asked.

Before I could answer, “I don’t know, and if I did know, why would I need a muse?” she gave me a look that froze my vocal cords.

“Breakfast,” she said.

“Write about breakfast. One industry executive estimates it’s a $100-billion market, but no one really knows.

Plus breakfast is capitalism with its most potent impact on American culture.”

“Breakfast is eggs or cereal,” I said. “What’s the big deal there?

“Competition, knucklehead,” she said. “Did you ever walk down the cereal aisle at the grocery? Look at all those choices. Feel the battle for shelf space. Is General Mills beating out Kellogg’s?

“You have to sense the power of liquid breakfast

DENTAL AWARENESS TEETH GRINDING

“Keep a stiff upper lip” or “get a grip!” That’s often the advice we get—and give—on how to cope with stress. If you take it literally, the result could be grinding your teeth or clenching your jaws. It’s called bruxism, and often it happens as you sleep.

Teeth grinding can be caused not just by stress and anxiety but by sleep disorders, an abnormal bite or teeth that are missing or crooked. The symptoms of teeth grinding include: • dull headaches • jaw soreness • teeth that are painful or loose • fractured teeth Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard to protect your teeth during sleep. In some cases, your dentist or physician may recommend taking a muscle

relaxant before bedtime. If stress is the cause you need to find a way to relax. Meditation, counseling and exercise can all help reduce stress and anxiety.

Teeth grinding is also common in children.

However, because their teeth and jaws change and grow so quickly it is not usually a damaging habit that requires treatment and most outgrow it by adolescence. Although in adults teeth grinding is often the result of stress, the same is not always true with children. Other possible causes of teeth grinding in children include: • irritation in the mouth • allergies • misaligned teeth If you’re concerned about your child’s teeth grinding, ask your child’s dentist about the potential causes and, if necessary, the possible solutions.

Ultra-easy ways to show off pumpkins NEW YORK (AP) — When is a pumpkin not a pumpkin? When it’s a jack-o-lantern, sure, but Halloween’s jolly orange elf can be so much more.

“For me, it’s like my favorite time of year when you see them out in the marketplace,” said Marcie McGoldrick, editorial director of holiday and crafts for Martha Stewart Living magazine.

Whether outside or at a party, pumpkins are an “icon of the season that people really try to transform every year,” she said. “It’s always fun to see what people do.”

Some ultra-easy ways to show off pumpkins:

Pumpkin bowling Decorate butternut squash like bowling pins and set them up on grass to entertain kids. Arm your young guests with a smaller variety, sugar pumpkins, leaving the stems on for easy slinging down the “lane,” McGoldrick suggests. “The stems are really strong and make it easy for kids, and the pumpkins will still roll.”

Another good kid game: pumpkin leap frog, she said.

Pumpkin coolers Cut a carving pumpkin open about a third down from the stem, or wide enough to accommodate wine, beer and soda. Clean and fill with ice. Insert a plastic or glass bowl to prevent leakage or softening as ice melts. Carve out toothy jags around the lip for effect. You can paint the pumpkin ghostly white or spooky black and adorn with store-bought webs crawling with faux spiders.

Pumpkin vases Rather than cut, scoop and fill with ice, how about cutting, scooping and poking in your favorite seasonal flowers? Try orange Chinese

AP

by BHG.com shows a floral arrangement in a pumpkin that is carved into a likeness of the animated character Jack Skellington from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

lantern flowers. Or go for scary flourishes like faux flies and snakes wending through wilty blood red roses. Fill with dirt and use a pumpkin as a planter that can go straight into the ground after a few days on Halloween duty. Arrange small pumpkins, colorful gourds, Indian corn and crunchy leaves in a windowbox.

Pumpkin candle holders Pumpkins are often set alight by votive candles, but try poking holes and turning them into candlesticks.

Especially festive later this year for American Jews who want to turn their pumpkins into nine-candle menorahs as Thanksgiving falls on the night for lighting Hanukkah’s second candle. Or cut out the stem and nestle a little tea candle in the crook of an uncut pumpkin. Find a tall, narrow one and add an inexpensive glass hurricane top to be lit by a votive candle.

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

PLEASANT LAKE — A Pleasant Lake man offers what may be a shining example of a Christian’s duty to stand up for what’s right.

Bob Ayres will present his program on the Armor of God during the Sunday, Oct. 27, service at Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church, 1160 W. Main St., Pleasant Lake. It is a continuation of a club — the Knights of the Lord’s Table — he started with the church youth group.

Ayres was involved in the Society for Creative Anachronism, an international organization dedicated

Church tries autumn vacation Bible school SHIRLEY (AP) — There are few better ways to fill 40 kids with spirit — holy or otherwise — than by chumming the room with chocolate chip cookies and Rice Krispie treats.

Snack time was a hit Tuesday at a multichurch cooperative vacation Bible school in Shirley, organized to give kids in eastern Hancock and western Henry counties a wholesome outlet during this year’s school fall break.

“We weren’t sure what to expect,” said Josh Johnson, pastor at Grant City Wesleyan Church, one of the VBS sponsors. “It’s the first time we’ve tried this for fall break, and we’re very happy.”

Given that Main Street is the Hancock/Henry county line, bisecting Shirley and its school-age population between several schools and two district school calendars, organizers split the difference this year and picked the one week the fall breaks overlapped for the three-day event.

“Some of the kids that are here tonight won’t be here tomorrow night because of school and (athletic) tournaments, so we won’t know exactly who’s coming each night,” Johnson told the Daily Reporter.

Not that it matters all that much.

With a goal of playing host to 35 kids ranging from pre-school to sixth grade, leaders and volunteers were all smiles Tuesday with more than 40 for opening night.

With a bevy of volunteer staff from five area churches wearing neon green T-shirts running containment, kids above pre-school level were herded from a free meal to music and through crafts, games, Bible study and back to a musical finale during

Rickey Gee-Welier participates in a song on stage along side other kids during a bible camp at the Shirley Wilkinson Community Methodist Church Oct. 8, in Shirley. Local churches in and around the ShirleyWilkinson area combine for a three day Vacation Bible School during the fall break which combines games, outdoor activities and free meals. Located at the Shirley-Wilkinson Community Methodist Church the program is run by Pastor Josh Johnson.

the two-hour session that continued Wednesday and concludes today at ShirleyWilkinson Community United Methodist Church.

Between those attending and those running the event, it appeared the greater part of Shirley was in or around the VBS epicenter at the corner of South and White streets on Tuesday evening.

“I think we have as many volunteers as kids tonight,” said Amy Schaeizle of the Shirley-Wilkinson church.

“It’s a bigger group than I thought.”

With summer vacation pared short by the school districts’ balanced calendar, summer Bible schools were squeezed, and some just couldn’t get off the ground quickly enough this year.

The tight summer schedule and cooler temperatures of October made fall break prime pickings to schedule some VBS time.

“It’s an awesome idea,” said Kennard resident Rudi Hanna. “I’m glad they did it, and I hope we do it again next year. It gives the kids something to do over the break and gets them out.”

“A free meal never hurts, either,” Johnson said.

“Especially when in some cases the main meal comes at school. It helps out.”

Refueled and ready after Tuesday’s 10-minute snack break, the school crowd dove into Genesis 1:3 to discuss “the light,” the literal and figurative theme over the three days. The participants flitted about under a dimming October sky for outdoor games and pressed autumn leaves into salt dough for leaf imprints, which, to first-grader Bea Griffith’s mind, was entirely appropriate as she was on fall break.

“That’s why we’re making leaves, because it’s fall,” she said.

Bob Ayres of Pleasant Lake stands in the sanctuary at Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church, where he will present an interactive lesson on the Armor of God on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 9:30 a.m.

to researching and re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th-century Europe.

He has a large collection of armor, chain mail, swords and shields. He uses this equipment to provide a showy lesson on how to battle evil.

“It’s all about spiritual warfare,” said Ayres, who has done programs for groups at several local churches over the past four years. He encouraged those interested in the program to contact P.L.U.M. at 475-1722 to schedule a presentation.

The knights club at P.L.U.M. started several months ago, and is open to youth and adults. They meet 5:30-7:30 p.m. the last Sunday of every month.

The Rev. John Boyanowski said it is an opportunity for fellowship and fun, but also an ongoing lesson in integrity.

“These are the kinds of things we want to get

across to the people today,” Boyanowski said.

Having done years of historical research, Ayres is a wealth of unexpected facts about our European past.

“My favorite time period is the Dark Ages,” said Ayres. It is a time when the Christian church was new and paganism was still common.

Ayres said he could “help kids understand a little of the history of the church.”

Boyanowksi said it is a way of getting closer to God, learning moral codes “and applying that to our Christian walk.”

In the knights club, participants get to learn moves with synthetic swords. Ayres is a qualified fighter in all weapons styles in the SCA. The SCA does not do re-enactments; instead creating battlefields for opponents who use their skill in ancient fighting techniques. Ayres started the hard-core hobby when he was 47 and called it quits at

60 when his ribs got broken for the third time.

In scripture, the battle is not physical. The sword is the word of God. “Our battle is with prayer … attending church,” said Ayres. “That’s how you defeat your enemy. … You are supposed to love one another.”

One must spiritually protect him- or herself through that fellowship, he said.

“Just because we can wear the armor doesn’t mean we know how to use it. Unless we know how to use it, and use it properly, we don’t stand a chance against our enemy,” said Ayres.

Ayres intends to help people learn to use their spiritual armor and stand together against evil, in a fun and flashy way. Those who accept Christ in his youth group are considered of “noble birth” and will be knighted as part of membership.

Only time can truly heal pain of losing • beloved pets

DEAR ABBY

Jeanne Phillips

DEAR ABBY: You gave some nice advice to “Afraid of the Loss” (June 25), who wrote concerning the impending death of a beloved pet. I think your suggestion of a support group is helpful, but having lost a pet I had for 16 years, I have experienced the deep pain this man will feel.

Adding a second pet to his home while his pet is still alive often energizes an older pet. When the time comes, it will help the human to have another loving pet to help with the grieving.

As I learned, only time was able to take the deep hurt to a place where I could think of him without tears.

Keeping the ashes of a pet can be comforting, whether you choose to bury them later or tuck them away in your home.

Most important is having a plan for when that moment comes so you automatically know what needs to be done.

It really helped to have all the details of his final moments thought out so I felt in control.

I wouldn’t have missed the love of my dog even knowing the pain that has to come in the end. It’s something that should be on everyone’s bucket list. — CATHY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CATHY: My thanks to you and all the readers who sent heartfelt letters supporting “Afraid.” It’s easy to see why dogs are called man’s best friend because of all the love, affection, entertainment and companionship they give us, and why we only want the best for them in this life and after. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Your pet is your child. Anyone who doesn’t understand that isn’t worth worrying about when the loss occurs. Will it hurt? Of course. But the pain does ease in time.

When my first dog died, I spoke with a grief counselor at the local veterinary college. It didn’t make my pain disappear, but it helped me to understand it more. Your pet does not live in the future, but in the moment. Enjoy every moment you have together and accept the unconditional love your pet has given you. You WILL get through it. — DEB IN BELMONT, MICH. DEAR ABBY: Having shared the love of many pets over the years, I have found that dealing with the loss of our furry friends never gets easier, no matter how many times you go through it. I just reflect on all the cherished times I shared with them, and I know I did my best to make their lives grand. I know I’m better off for having shared their company.

Having rescued all of my past and current pets from shelters, I saved them from an uncertain life. I gave them a loving home with affection, stability and a warm bed.

While they all leave us at some point, their memory lives on in our hearts.

I think Irving Townsend said it best: “We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.” — FOUR PAWS FATHER DEAR ABBY: “Afraid of the Loss” is not alone.

Anyone who has known the love of a dog knows the fear of losing that unmatched companionship.

When my dog was reaching the end of his lifespan, a fellow dog-lover advised me to get a puppy. I’m passing her advice along to “Afraid.” Get a puppy or go to the shelter and adopt a dog — any dog. You will save the dog, and the dog will save you right back. — MONIQUE IN TEXAS Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Use broccoli up in soup children wanted to go get her right away last night.

Grapes are ripening late at the U-pick orchard this year due to the colder weather we’ve had.

Tomorrow we plan to go pick grapes to put into juice. We are out of grape juice it will be THE so nice to have AMISH some on COOK hand again.

Cider and popcorn Lovina Eicher and apples are also a favorite snack around here this time of year.

Saturday morning we started out for Berne, Ind., to attend the reunion of my grandpa and grandma Graber’s family who are both deceased.

They have almost 1,400 descendants now. It was a large gathering which I’m guessing over 1,000 attended. This reunion was held in a large shed at my cousin Dave and Mary Graber’s. They furnished all the grilled chicken for everyone. We sure appreciated all the bother they went through. It’s not easy getting ready for a crowd this big.

This second week of October turned out to be nice and sunny although mornings are cool. It was a perfect week to catch up on outside work. One evening my husband Joe and the boys cleared out one of our gardens and tilled it. Joe planned a ground cover crop this year to help replenish the soil. We weren’t used to doing this when we lived in Indiana but with the soil being so sandy around here it will help. This year we are trying a winter radish, although not edible, that will help prevent weeds and also replenishes the minerals needed in the soil.

Several families in our church district have tried them and had good results.

The girls are also raking leaves every chance they get. They are accumulating on the ground faster than they can keep up with our many trees. There are signs of autumn everywhere, including farmers who are starting to harvest their crops.

We had some very happy children last night. Minnie, the miniature pony that daughter Susan trained and is also the mother of our miniature pony, Prancer, is ours to keep now. Her owner called and wondered if we would want her. He said we can just have her since Susan trained her and he’s not really set up to take care of her this winter. The

The rest of the food was a carry-in. There were casseroles, mashed potatoes, gravy, salads of all types, lots and lots of desserts: cakes, pies, cookies and bars. Lemonade and coffee were served for drinks. There was more than enough food. I took cherry and apple pie but there were many different kinds of pie there.

The last time this reunion was held was nine years ago at Uncle Elmer and Aunt Emma’s. We were unable to attend so it’s been awhile since I’ve seen some of my cousins. I did see a lot of them at the funerals of cousins Dan and Chris in January. Our thoughts went to their families that day thinking of their missing loved ones.

Our family went in two different vans since the 14 passenger vans are harder to schedule. Sisters Verena and Susan rode with Joe and I and the six youngest in a 10 passenger van. Elizabeth, Susan, and their special friends came in a mini-van. Jacob’s oldest daughter Elizabeth also came with them so Jacob’s family could fit in a mini-van.

We stopped in at sister Liz and Levi’s on the way home. Liz set out snacks for everyone. We started home around 5 p.m. and arrived home around 7:45 p.m. A long, but enjoyable day!

Broccoli cauliflower soup • 4 cups chicken broth • 2 teaspoons chicken boullion granules • 1 large bunch broccoli, diced • 2 cups cauliflower florets, diced • 2 cups milk, divided • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 cups cooked chicken, cut up • 6 tablespoons cornstarch In a 4-quart saucepan, cook broccoli and cauliflower in chicken broth and until soft.

Add 1 1/2 cups of milk and salt. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch into 1/2 cup milk.

When smooth, stir into saucepan. Cover and heat over low heat, stirring frequently. When soup is hot enough and thickened, stir in cheese until blended into mixture.

Out-of-state property is more burden than benefit DEAR BRUCE: I have a widowed, elderly friend with two adult children who owns a commercial rental property out of state. The property consists of a 2,000-squarefoot building built 30 years ago on five acres.

Currently her taxes are $4,000 a year, and the property insurance on the building runs about $950 a year. She gets $1,200 a month in rent on the building and land. Her net, after taxes and insurance, is about $10,000 a year.

The building needs a lot of repairs. The property is on a well and septic system.

The well pump will need replacing at some point, and the septic has to be cleaned out periodically. The lease is coming up and, with times as they are, it is doubtful that an increase is possible. The tenant pays like clockwork.

We are trying to decide whether to sell or continue the lease another five years. If it was sold, the market value may not be over $150,000.

Carrying the mortgage might be an option. Based on my

experience, the interest rate on a mortgage would be in the 5 percent to 6 percent range. What are your recommendations as to whether to lease or sell?

— A.L., via email DEAR A.L.: You have a couple of SMART choices. One may MONEY option be that you look for a tenant.

Bruce Williams new It may be the property is worth more and you can get more from another tenant. But why does a widowed, elderly person have to contend with a commercial property out of state?

This is a no-brainer.

The building is only netting $10,000, which is well under a reasonable percentage. On top of that, there are all sorts of things going bad that will

•

have to be replaced, and the tenant is apparently not able to pay more. I would prefer to get the $150,000. It would easily bring in a minimum of $8,000 a year income with absolutely no effort on her part and no concerns about the well, the septic tank, etc.

If she is going to keep the property, I would have her sit down with the tenant and explain that it is necessary to increase the rent by a modest 10 percent or so and show the tenant why this is necessary.

In the absence of that, suggest that the tenant is welcome to stay, but you will be looking for another tenant who can pay the additional rent.

DEAR BRUCE: When someone passes away with no assets other than annuities and several retirement accounts, all of which have his three children as beneficiaries, is it necessary to report his will anywhere?

One of his daughters is his executor and has power of attorney. A life insurance policy was given to his ex-wife at the divorce, and

she has been paying on it for 22 years. Does she pay taxes on it when received? — J.E., via email DEAR J.E.: In the event that the person who dies has absolutely no assets other than annuities and retirement accounts, all which have beneficiaries, the will should be filed but not probated.

The will should be filed with the surrogate’s office in the county where the individual passed away. If there are other assets to be distributed, then yes, the will should be probated.

As to the life insurance, there are no taxes paid on life insurance benefits. She is home free on that one.

Healthy eating: Kids follow their parents’ lead One of the primary goals of preventive health care is the effort to decrease childhood obesity. It is just too easy for our kids to sit in front of a TV or video game and pretend that they are getting exercise.

While exercise can be fun, getting enough exercise to burn off the junk food we eat often seems like work. We even call it “working out.”

So it seems like it would be better not to consume all those calories in the first place.

Since parents are usually the ones who provide the food, it seems logical that parents need to make better food choices for their children.

This is crucial because good nutrition aids in the development of a strong mind and body. Plus, the good habits children develop now may carry over into adulthood.

However, it is not

always easy to “eat healthy.” The majority of today’s foods are filled with artificial dyes, sweeteners, salt, oils and preservatives.

Even foods that we think are nutritious DR. TERRY are sometimes GAFF nothing more than the result of clever marketing from food companies. Claims of “less sodium,” “whole grain” and “all natural” do not always equal healthy.

In fact, they seldom do.

Getting children to eat right will more than likely not happen overnight.

However, if parents make slow but steady changes and model good behavior, it does not need to be difficult or complicated.

•

“Prepare meals at home.

Restaurants routinely add unnecessary fat, salt and sugar to meals.

Regular, sit-down meals at home help lower obesity rates and improve family well being.”

Parents might be able to use some of the following suggestions: • Parents could dish out appropriate serving sizes. In general, a portion should be the size of the child’s fist.

Also, there is no need to insist children be members of the “clean plate club.” Kids are pretty good at knowing when they are full.

• Focus on fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains, that is to say, foods that can be eaten in their natural state, with little or no processing. Parents should get in the habit of checking food labels.

They should question any food that contains ingredients that are not recognizable or pronounceable.

• Fruits and vegetables can be cleaned and cut up once a week and stored front and center in the refrig-

• erator. Avoid buying chips and cookies, which are nothing but empty calories.

• The best way to know exactly what we are eating is to prepare meals at home. Restaurants routinely add unnecessary fat, salt and sugar to meals. Plus, studies show that regular, sit-down meals at home help lower obesity rates and improve

family well being.

• Parents should involve their children in planning the meals they will eat. Ask them to help select a recipe, create a grocery list and then find the ingredients at the store.

• Involve children in growing their own food, like radishes and tomatoes, even if it is just in a few flower pots on a patio.

• We should all eliminate sugary drinks completely. Most of us could stand to drink more water, but low fat milk is also a great choice.

• Serve more fruits and vegetables with each meal and as snacks. If children resist this, do not force or bribe them. It is better to model good behavior and be patient. You could even get creative, like creating a smiley face with fruits and vegetables or making kabobs with chunks of fruit on a stick or freezing grapes or

peaches for snacking.

• There is no need to ban unhealthy foods entirely, simply limit them to rare occasions.

That way, your kids will not feel the need to rebel or “pig out” when given the chance.

While it is it is important to get your kids to eat well, the most important thing a parent can do it to be a good example. Parents are frequently the real-life super-heroes that children want to model themselves after (until they are teens, then who knows?).

By being good examples for the kids, everyone benefits.

Need motivation?

There’s an app for that

AP

In this photo taken Sept. 6, students walk between classes past a sign extolling a leadership principle at Indian Trails Elementary school in Independence, Mo. The school is one of nearly 1,500 nationwide utilizing a program called “The Leader in Me” which is based on the late self-help guru Stephen Covey’s best-selling “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.”

Stephen Covey’s ‘Seven Habits’ shakes up schools INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — One year after Johnathan Kent kicked his principal and school “went all bad,” the 8-year-old was recognized at a recent assembly as the “Star of the Month” for being polite and helping out his teachers.

The third-grader’s explanation for the turnaround: “I’m not doing what I did last year.”

But Emily Cross, the principal of Indian Trails Elementary on the outskirts of Kansas City, Mo., is giving some credit to a program the school began using last year that is built around the late self-help guru Stephen Covey’s best-selling “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” A 25th anniversary edition of the 1989 book will be released in November.

The nearly 1,500 mostly elementary schools using the program — called “The Leader in Me” — teach principles from the book, including “think win-win,” ”seek first to understand, then to be understood” and “synergize.” Teachers, for example, might ask students how historical figures like George Washington might have used them.

And if a student gets into trouble, teachers and principals ask what habit could have helped him or her avoid the scrape.

When Johnathan’s principal asked the boy what habit led to his turnaround, he quickly responded, “Do first things first.” He said he didn’t finish his work last year.

Students typically are assigned leadership roles that range from class greeter to fish-tank cleaner. They also keep a leadership notebook in which they chart growth in an academic area. The notebooks also track a personal goal, such as the time spent learning to tie their shoes. Cross said the tracking is a big motivator for Johnathan.

“He sees that when I’m in

class putting first things first, my dot on my graph is going up, and he’s proud,” Cross said.

“He’s very confident now, and he wasn’t last year.”

The Leader in Me, which has started branching out into preschools and middle schools, is one of “literally dozens” of programs seeking to improve the school climate, said Paul Baumann, director of the National Center for Learning and Civic Engagement at the Denver-based Education Commission of the States, a nonpartisan group that researches education policy. He said most of the programs are run by nonprofits. The cost of the Leader in Me was “pretty high” in comparison, he said.

For a 400-student school, adopting the Leader in Me program would cost between $45,000 and $60,000 over the first three years.

The program’s developer, FranklinCovey, acknowledges that the expense is one of the biggest challenges. Some schools are able to cover the cost using federal Title I money that’s awarded to schools that serve large numbers of low-income students. And for schools that need help, foundations, community Chambers of Commerce or businesses might be asked to help cover the cost, said Meg Thompson, who oversees the program for Salt Lake City-based FranklinCovey.

Not everyone is sold though. Lakeview Elementary in Kirkland, Wash., a Seattle suburb, dropped the program this year after parents complained. Lake Elementary parent Paul Devries said he found the program “cult-like” and “objected to the group mentality.” Some schools offer training sessions for parents.

“It’s our responsibility as parents to teach values to our kids, not for kids to come home and teach FranklinCovey’s values to us,” said Devries, 53, a fishery scientist and water resource engineer. “Kids should be able to be creative and think for themselves and not

be automatons and repeat the seven habits.”

Asked how many schools had dropped out, FranklinCovey said that would be hard to calculate.

Before his death in July 2012, Covey disputed criticism that he simply repackaged his Mormon faith in the “Seven Habits.”

Backers say the program exceeded expectations.

“It is easier for kids at 5, 6, 7 to learn the habits than it is for us adults,” said Joel Katte, principal of Meadowthorpe Elementary in Lexington, Ky., where student leadership assemblies feature students singing about and performing skits about the habits. “It’s kind of a first language for them.”

The program got its start in 1999 when Muriel Summers, principal of A.B. Combs Elementary in Lexington, asked Covey whether he thought the habits could be taught to children. FranklinCovey provided free training for her staff.

“We started to see amazing results,” Summers said. “We saw children really being recognized for what they do well, not what they didn’t do well. And we started to love them through their challenges.”

Covey documented the experience at Summers’ school and others in a 2008 book, and the program expanded. Besides the U.S., it’s also being used in more than 35 counties, including Australia, Japan and China.

Sean Covey, executive vice president at FranklinCovey and one of Covey’s sons, said the company’s goal is to have the Leader in Me program used in 10 percent of U.S. schools.

The Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University examined two elementary schools using the program and found that students reported their teachers were nicer, while staff reported improved student behavior.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ever suspect you do more housework than your spouse?

Or that certain tasks at work raise your blood pressure?

Maybe you wonder why you’re sneezing more lately, or if carbs are really what is making you tired after lunch?

Turns out, there’s an app or gadget to test all of that.

Advancements in wearable body sensors, mobile applications and other gadgets mean that nearly everything we do can be captured, logged and analyzed. And everyday consumers are jumping at the chance to conduct their own experiments — tracking sleep, caffeine intake, kids’ studying habits, household chores, even whether a baby is nursing more frequently on Mom’s left breast versus her right.

“I don’t know if I’d use the word ‘obsessed,’” said Ernesto Ramirez, a self-tracking devotee who helped to organize a two-day conference on the subject last week in San Francisco.

Speakers at past “Quantified Self” conferences have included a man who developed his own app to see if he could walk every street in Manhattan and a dad who used trackers on his kids to monitor chores.

“I think there’s an overall trend toward curiosity and proving knowledge of one’s self in the world,” Ramirez said.

When Tim Davis of Beaver, Pa., tipped the scales at 318 pounds two years ago, he bought a Fitbit gadget to track his physical activity and the Lose It! app on his phone to track calories. He bought a Wi-Fi-enabled scale that published his daily weight on his Twitter feed and turned

This photo from video taken Oct. 9 shows the wrist of Tim Davis wearing his FitBit, green, and Nike FuelBand, black, devices he uses to track his physical activity and habits, in New Brighton, Pa. Davis uses several apps and three wearable devices to track his physical activity, vitals and calorie intake.

to other apps to track his pulse, blood pressure, daily moods and medications. At one point, Davis said he was using 15 different apps and gadgets, which he said helped him drop 64 pounds by that following year.

“It’s the second-by-second, minute-by-minute changes that really did it,” said Davis, 39. “If you’re the type of person who likes gadgets and devices and to collect metrics, you’re also the kind of person who does not like gaps in data.”

A pediatrician in Kansas City, Mo., Natasha Bugert, said apps that track newborn feedings and sleep patterns have become wildly popular among her patients and she now encourages parents to send her the data before their appointments.

“In the first few weeks, parents are so tired. It’s really hard for them to give you objective data,” Bugert said.

Public health advocates and researchers say tracking technology could be used to

encourage people to use less gasoline, conserve water or drive slower by giving them real-time feedback on their daily habits. It also could expose causes of medical conditions that baffle doctors.

HopeLab, based in Redwood, Calif., is one nonprofit looking to harness technology to improve health. It has developed a $30 movement-tracking device for kids called a “Zamzee,” and a website that rewards activity with online points and badges.

HopeLab has developed video games for young cancer patients that lets them pretend to blast cancer cells.

Researchers there say their studies have shown that the game improved patients’ moods and encouraged them to stick with treatment.

“When you give people a sense of autonomy, a sense of agency, that can actually be very transformative to their health,” said HopeLab spokesman Richard Tate.

Remaking ‘Carrie’ is pointless I understand the desire to remake horror movies.

So often, the special effects in movies from decades ago fall flat, and for horror movies, bad special effects can be the kiss of death for modern audiences.

However, the really great horror movies of years past, like other classic films, hold up well, and 1976’s “Carrie” is a great horror film. If JENNY you don’t believe me, KOBIELAgo back and watch MONDOR it again.

It really is one of the great ones.

I’m not saying that the AP/SONY PICTURES new remake isn’t good, too, because it is. In fact, This photo released by Sony Pictures Moore in a scene from the horror film if it were the first version shows Chloe Moretz, left, and Julianne “Carrie.” of “Carrie” to hit theaters, it would probably feel like mances, it just didn’t seem not against the practice, The real star is the a pretty darn good movie, because I really do believe talented Julianne Moore as like there was anything because it is.

She brings a raw intensity to the role, and I could feel every emotion — fear, pain, exhilaration and, for a brief few moments, anyway, pure joy.

Shutdown benefits cable TV NEW YORK (AP) — The federal government shutdown damaged the reputations of Washington politicians but proved good business for the cable television news networks — and taught some reporters new benefits of virtually instant communications.

CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC saw their viewership increase during the 16-day partial shutdown, peaking at more than five million Wednesday evening when Congress passed a compromise bill to put the government back online.

“It was a drama,” said CNN congressional correspondent Dana Bash, who logged many hours of airtime along with Kelly O’Donnell of NBC News and Mike Emanuel of Fox. “Whenever there’s a drama, people are interested.”

MSNBC, which has struggled in this post-election year, saw its average prime-time viewership jump 35 percent to 978,000 this month through Wednesday, compared to the first nine months of the year, the Nielsen company said. Fox, which chose not to make any of its reporters available for this story, was up 9 percent to 2.22 million in the same period (although the network also benefited from a prime-time schedule change this month). CNN improved by 11 percent to 721,000.

The news networks brought their traditional hallmarks of crisis coverage

to the political machinations, including “countdown clocks” that marked each second closer to a debt limit deadline. The story meant brutal hours: O’Donnell, who filed for MSNBC, CNBC and NBC News, was at work past 3 a.m. Eastern the first night of the shutdown, then back at 6 a.m. for “Morning Joe.” There were many strong points to the coverage, particularly when reporters didn’t fall back on cliches like declaring winners and losers for an event that did few people proud, said Jane Hall, a journalism professor at American University.

“It certainly gave voice to the American people disgusted over this and there were a number of good stories about the impact of the shutdown on government workers,” Hall said.

Social media was a big help, O’Donnell said. She would hear from people outside the Capitol cocoon through Twitter and email, with many raising questions she used in her reporting. She was asked how the shutdown would affect Social Security or back pay for government workers. NBC used a “dearcongress” hashtag on Twitter to encourage questions.

Sometimes the concerns were very specific, like when shrimp fishermen asked about access to launches on federal land, which she took to an individual congressman in the affected area.

“That was a real-time

experience of the shutdown that did not compare to anything in a crisis that we had covered before,” O’Donnell said.

In the past, Bash said she’d often need to plead with producers for time off the air to report. In this case, it wasn’t really necessary: Her sources would text, tweet or email information while she was on the air.

When President Barack Obama spoke to the nation on Thursday, Bash had instant reaction from several Republicans minutes after he left the podium.

When Republicans and Democrats weren’t talking to each other, Bash found that they would talk through her.

“I’ll report something or I’ll tweet something and I’ll get a call from a source pushing back or trying to shape it — not because it’s a message to the world, but because it’s a message to the other side,” she said.

Bash would set up live shots in the hallway between Speaker John Boehner’s office and the floor of the House of Representatives, a passageway teeming with sources.

Even though TV reporters love few things more than airtime, by the end even that was wearing off.

“There’s always a rush in covering a big story,” Bash said. “But at a certain point, you want your government to work a little better, regardless of what you do for a living.”

Downtown revitalization gives Pensacola new energy PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — For decades, Pensacola’s quiet downtown was overlooked by tourists lured instead to the sugary white sands of the nearby beaches. But a major push to revitalize the long-neglected business and office district is slowly bringing visitors back downtown.

Upscale eateries and wine bars have replaced the strip clubs and pool halls that once lined the city’s main drag.

Young sailors from nearby Pensacola Naval Air Station still frequent the area, but nowadays are often lured by the family friendly art and music scene rather than the bars. And a new minor-league baseball stadium draws thousands of fans to downtown’s once-dilapidated waterfront.

Gallery nights attract up to 15,000 visitors each of the seven Fridays a year they are held. Weekly outdoor musical evenings in a downtown park draw up to 8,000 visitors each night .The baseball stadium averages about 6,000 fans each home game.

“In the last five years, I’ve never seen this much growth in Pensacola,” said Nick Schuck, who owns a business giving Segway and bike tours of the downtown.

Schuck’s business has nearly tripled in the one year he has been open as thousands flock downtown for the various events.

“I was seeing all the change and revitalization happening down here and I had seen Segway tours in other cities. I wanted to bring that here. Pensacola has every bit as much history as St. Augustine or Charleston, but people don’t know about it,” he said.

Robert and Eleanor (Marti Teders) Harding of Avilla celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on Oct. 12. The couple were married Oct. 9, 1992, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Garrett. They are both retired. Their children are: Gene and Leslie Teders of Fairbanks, Alaska, Jerry and Mary Teders of Garrett, Max and Jenny Teders of Garrett, Linda and James Curry of Michigan City, David and Rhonda Harding of Avilla and Sandy Selby of North Carolina.

They have 12 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

This undated image released by Visit Pensacola shows people strolling through the Palafox Market in downtown Pensacola.

The city’s history dates to the 1500s when the area was first discovered by Spanish explorers. Pensacola is known as the City of Five Flags because of it has been ruled at various times in its long history by the Spanish, French, British, Confederate and American governments.

Downtown Pensacola’s renaissance is part careful planning and part good timing. Hurricane Ivan smashed through the area in 2004, forcing many downtown businesses to close because of extensive damage and lost income. A lull in development because of the nation’s economic crisis followed. Many prime business locations remained boarded up for years.

Local entrepreneur Quint Studer saw the potential for a more vibrant downtown and began purchasing vacant buildings and lots. Studer also brought the Blue Wahoos, a Cincinnati Reds minor league team, to the new waterfront stadium.

“When we find people who haven’t been to Pensacola for a while, they are amazed to see all that is happening here,” he said.

In 2005 downtown Pensacola had 486 businesses — today there are 674.

Among the biggest changes, development at the intersection of downtown’s two key streets — Palafox and Main. For years, the four corners of the intersection contained empty buildings and vacant lots. Today, a California-style outdoor eatery comprised of small Air Stream trailers serving various foods sits on one corner, a residential and commercial development is underway on another and remodeled building with several thriving businesses sits on a third. Construction of a new bank is planned on the remaining corner.

On a typical weekday, professionals mingle with tourists at the restaurants and shops lining Palafox Street. Toddlers splash through water spouts in a community fountain and water park that sits at the end of the Palafox pier. Banners advertise various downtown concerts and festivals for the coming weekend. On Saturday mornings, a popular farmers market always draws a crowd.

Sexton — 15th Daniel and Stephanie (Lambert) Sexton of Kendallville celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary with a getaway weekend following a dinner with family and friends.

The couple were married Oct. 17, 1998, in Virginia. Mr. Sexton retired from Jeld-Wen Door in 2005. Mrs. Sexton is a charge nurse at the LaGrange Surgery Center. They have two children, Kyle (Teresa Graber) Sexton of Kendallville and Kala Sexton at home. They also have a grandchild.

Flying monkey among Oz exhibit ROCKLAND, Maine (AP) — Far from Kansas, far from any yellow brick road and all the way to Maine, fans of “The Wizard of Oz” can catch a peek of Dorothy’s blue gingham dress, a pair of her ruby slippers and even a flying monkey.

A new exhibit that opened Saturday at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland features those items and more from the world’s largest Wizard of Oz collection.

The 107-piece display includes props from various Wizard of Oz movies, rare first-print copies of the original Wizard of Oz book, movie posters and an array of Oz memorabilia.

The exhibit, which runs through March, will give

fans a sense of all things Oz, starting with L. Frank Baum’s 1900 book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” said Willard Carroll, a filmmaker from nearby Camden who owns the items with his longtime partner.

Carroll, 57, has amassed more than 100,000 Oz items since he first became enthralled with the story at age 10.

The Wizard of Oz story has endured for more than a century and is enjoying a resurgence this year with the release of the 1939 movie in 3-D and the approach of the movie’s 75th anniversary.

“Oz the Great and Powerful,” a prequel to the 1939 film that explores the origins of the wizard,

was released this year, and the hit musical “Wicked” continues to run on Broadway.

“It’s one of these pop culture things that really has held on,” Carroll said.

“There are times it’s spiked, and it’s spiking now because of the 75th anniversary.”

The story of Oz originated with Baum’s book, which spawned numerous movies and stage productions, a radio series, animated cartoons and spinoff products such as toys, dolls, puzzles and even wallpaper panels.

It’s best known, of course, from the 1939 “The Wizard of Oz” movie, whose color, music and fantasy storytelling captured the fascination of moviegoers.

Q. What causes a failure of a concrete patio or sidewalk?

A. It is important that the material under your concrete work is compacted and stays intact. If water washes out the fill from along the sides or the pea gravel runs out from under your concrete, you have a void that can cause a problem.

If you have a leaking gutter that runs water around your concrete, failures of concrete patios and sidewalks can be caused by this so maintenance is important.

Another consideration is the thickness of your concrete, the mix of the concrete and if it contains any SQUARE welded wire mesh steel re-rod.

CORNERS or The wire mesh or re-rod has to be Jeff Deahl pulled up so the concrete flows under.

By improving the weight mix of your concrete, pouring a little thicker and use of a mesh to hold it together your concrete will last for years and years.

Consider the time of year you are pouring; summer can cause the concrete to cure quickly — the next thing you know is its getting hard and you haven’t finished pouring.

To add water to the mix will weaken it and you will not be able to get a good finish or the top skim layer will eventually flake off ruining the results.

Don’t pour more than you can handle. Remember it takes a month for concrete to fully cure so it needs to be nurtured through the process.

Avoided freezing temperatures and never pour on frozen ground.

Another important part is to cut joints in the concrete minimum 1-inch deep and minimum 6 feet on center to control cracking that will accrue because your concrete that is not protected by a footing will move as the ground around it expands and contracts during seasonal changes.

Always use an expansion joint anywhere your concrete meets another foundation or porch even against the asphalt of your drive.

Antiques market is about change, negotiation Recycling, re-using and re-purposing are the buzz words in the antiques game right now. I have been advising my audiences at my more than 150 antiques appraisal events across the country that appraisals of your aging objects are more important now than ever before.

Why? In great numbers, people are considering old objects as the basis for a fun re-do project.

Before you transform that old treasure, get an appraisal to be sure you are not unknowingly decreasing its value by changing that piece for the better or worse.

Collecting is always of interest as evinced by the photos of my big audiences of fans of all ages posted on Facebook and Pinterest.

Yet, the process of collecting a particular antique item from a certain category of collectibles has taken a back seat to the process of putting a vintage or antique item into immediate use as an addition to the existing home or office decor or as a home design project. Now, most people are not collecting for collecting’s sake as they did in the early 2000s.

From the buyer’s standpoint, this is a great time to negotiate with dealers, re-sellers and other traders.

Why? It is always smart to negotiate.

I say always negotiate when you are trying to buy a work of art, antique or collectible.

With the state of ART & today’s economy ANTIQUES and the renewed interest in home decorating, and Dr. Lori make-overs re-designing, your vintage objects are playing more than one role right now.

These aging objects are seen as fine collectibles as well as the basis for craft or re-purposing projects.

required re-upholstery, refinishing or reworking. Now, these are the same objects that become a topic of a negotiation with a seller because buyers see that condition can be transformed. Many collectors in the middle ranges of the market — not the folks who are paying out a couple $100K for a work of high end art — desire objects that can be the object of their re-purposing project.

What may surprise many people is the number of young buyers in the vintage art, antiques and collectibles market now. I mean young buyers — really young. I have elementary age school fans who watch me on TV with their grandmothers!

There is one 7-year-old in

Puerto Rico who warms my heart. She wears white gloves like mine and appraises objects at her relative’s houses during family get togethers.

Yes, from tweens and teens searching yard sales and flea markets (like I did as a kid with my dad) to the 20-somethings who are all about assembling objects from the 1920s to the 1980s for their first homes, the young adults, like my college-aged and newly-married nieces, are looking to antiques and vintage objects to decorate their new urban spaces, to inexpensively redecorate their new family home, and to re-consider the options of using and re-doing Grandma’s old sofa.

Change is a sign of the times.

Familiar visitors: Fruit flies move indoors to six miles and keep busy laying eggs — up to 2,000 of them. The eggs hatch into maggots, which feed, become adults, and round the cycle goes, leading to skyrocketing populations of maggots and fruit flies.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I suppose I should look upon fruit flies as old friends.

Our formal introduction took place in junior high school, in science lab. Now they visit regularly, every late summer and early fall.

Still, for old friends, they can be bothersome. No, they don’t bite, but I’d rather do without their flitting around any ripening fruit in the kitchen.

Swat them

Egg-laying right on schedule As it turns out, fruit flies don’t really turn up this time of year; they just make their presence known. All summer they’ve been hanging around outdoors, attracted there, as they are indoors, to ripe and overripe fruits. Cooling temperatures drive them indoors. An abundance of ripe and overripe apples, tomatoes, pears and other fruit, much of it now brought indoors, provides further enticement for their move.

AP

This photo shows fruit and fly traps in New Paltz, N.Y. For the simplest trap, just set out a glass of wine to which some dish detergent has been added and label the glass so no one drinks the liquid. After landing on this liquid for a drink, fruit flies become wetted and are unable to take off again.

It’s actually fruit flies’ larvae — small, white maggots — that are feeding on the fruits. After feasting for five or six days, larvae

are transformed into the all-too-familiar flies. The females do more than just flit around for the few days they are alive; they fly up

To control fruit flies, start by regularly discarding overripe fruit. It also helps to clean kitchen sink drains, where bits of fruits or their juices may lodge.

You could, of course, bypass the whole problem by not having any ripe fruit indoors except in the refrigerator. We gardeners know, however, how cold deadens the flavors of garden-fresh fruits, and even ruins the flavors of some, such as tomatoes and bananas.

Fortunately, some simple devices can help in the war against fruit flies. There’s some primal satisfaction in just swatting at them with a rolled-up, wet facecloth, or

you could go a little more high-tech and vacuum them up right out of the air. Both of these methods must, of course, be kept up on a regular basis.

Trap them Traps take less participation. For the simplest trap, just set out a glass of wine to which some dish detergent has been added — and be sure to label the glass so no one drinks the liquid. After landing on this liquid for a drink, fruit flies become wetted and are unable to take off again. Another trap capitalizes on fruit flies’ low intelligence: A funnel set spout down over the opening of an upright glass filled with bait provides easy entry but clever exit, too clever for fruit flies.

A number of commercial traps, such as the Contech “Fruit Fly Trap,” work on these same principles and are also effective.

Newly emerged fruit

flies are attracted to light, a habit that can lead to their undoing. Shade all the windows in your kitchen except one, and leave only a crack of light coming through the bottom of that window. Put a baited dish near that opening, wait a while, then rush the dish, with attendant flies, outdoors.

On the same theme, darken with paper or dark paint the upper third of a one-quart jar, then coat the inside of the jar with something sticky such as honey or vegetable oil. Invert the jar, raised off the counter with some small blocks of wood, over some bait. Flies will feed and then fly up toward the light, where they will be trapped.

The flies are attracted to yeasts that cause fermentation, so any piece of fruit, even yeast and water, are suitable bait. Or you can mix up a feed of mashed bananas and agar, just as I did when rearing fruit flies in junior high school science class.

Right at Home: Fall decor trend set in stone THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Along with grainy woods, metallics and other textural elements, rock and mineralthemed decor is part of a fall trend toward nature and natural elements.

In many cases, real rocks and minerals are integrated into the decorative items.

Los Angeles interior and product designer Hilary Thomas says she responds to the divergent qualities of primitiveness and sophistication in rocks and minerals.

“I find that using pieces like petrified wood and malachite helps a space look more collected and layered,” she says.

And the range of colors — the bright agates, the neutrals — is fun to play with. “You can be color-shy and still tie a room together or make a big statement with a finial,” she says.

Thomas creates lamp finials out of slivers of malachite, howlite and agate, as well as unusual specimens like inky iridescent labradorite, creamy blue-tinged chrysophase and petrified wood. The colors range from intense purple, turquoise and cranberry to light sunny yellow, snowy white and a range of striated hues. (hillarythomas.com) Besides aesthetics, some stones have been endowed by various cultures with special properties. The Chinese view jade as a protective stone, and it features prominently in feng shui, the ancient art of harmonizing individuals with their environment.

The Vikings carried calcite, believing it aided in navigation. Native Americans considered chalcedony — the family of minerals that includes jasper, onyx and agate — capable of imparting strength and courage.

The Herst lamp from Arteriors has marble carved into an open geometric to give it a contemporary vibe.

AP

Target shows a bookend made of agate which is considered by many to have positive electromagnetic energy.

RabLabs shows their Cele clocks that encase little alarm clocks in agate. Rock- and mineral-themed decor is part of a fall trend toward nature and natural elements.

“I have a client who keeps a pyramid of lapis lazuli under her bed to ward off bad vibrations,” says Torontobased mineral and bead dealer David McDonald.

Examples of Brazilian agate and onyx cut into bookends can be found at TheRockShed.com. Some have the crystalline characteristics of geodes, while others come in vibrant pink, teal and red hues. (therockshed.com ) Table lamps are an easy way to add a touch of stone. Arteriors’ Sydney and Herst marble lamps, both at Horchow, have honed and softly buffed marble bases that develop a dreamy translucence when lit. From the John Richard collection, there’s a stacked, square-cut alabaster lamp with a geometric vibe. And the retailer’s River Rock nightlight lamp’s base is a

rectangular slab of acrylic embedded with small white rocks; a small bulb fixture is encased in it as well, so you can use both the main lamp and nightlight, or just the latter. (horchow.com ) Eduardo Garza’s agate-inlaid jewelry boxes are part of West Elm’s fall collection.

Swirls of natural graphic design make a group of agate ornaments intriguing for the holiday tree, or just to hang on cupboards or window latches. (westelm.com ) Target’s fall collection includes the Threshold agate bookend, sleekly honed on one end to show the swirling layers, and left in its natural state on the other. A trimmed mirror adds marble to the wall. And an agate-patterned, glass-topped accent table and turquoise or plum rugs in a marble motif suggest those materials in faux finishes.

(target.com) A contemporary space might suit one of CB2’s composite tables made of a marble, granite, stone and fiber aggregate. They have a rugged, albeit honed masculinity. (cb2.com ) The convergence of modern manufacturing techniques and the intricate, timeless forms of nature is what intrigues New York-based product designer Anna Rabinowicz. She gives a collection of amethyst and citrine table objects a mantle of liquid gold or silver. Her Cielo amethyst lamp combines sleek chrome with the crystal forms, each finished piece unique. And she embeds little chunks of colorful agate — considered long ago to bring owners a peaceful slumber — with small clock faces, ready for the bedside. (rablabs.com )

Mishelle Farer poses in her apartment where she rents a room on Airbnb, in New York. Farer is an avid user of Airbnb, a website that allows travelers to rent other people’s homes or rooms.

N.Y. fights site listing homes for tourists to rent NEW YORK (AP) — Each night, people in apartments all over New York City are cleaning up, putting out fresh towels and clearing out — to rent their private space to strangers from around the world.

Thousands of city residents are using websites such as Airbnb.com to list apartments or rooms for as little as $35 a night, a phenomenon officials say is illegal in many cases, undercuts the hotel industry, avoids taxes and threatens apartment building safety.

New York’s top prosecutor is demanding that Airbnb turn over data on city dwellers who have listed on the site as part of an investigation into whether residents are breaking a state law barring sublets for fewer than 30 days if occupants are not present.

But many residents in the nation’s most expensive city say they’re providing a service that’s valuable to them and their guests.

Subletting for nights at a time is often the only way they can afford to pay rents that average $3,000 a month and can top $6,000 in the most desirable areas.

“I use Airbnb to supplement my income, and it’s allowed me to go back to school,” says Mishelle Farer, a 32-year-old former U.S. Army sergeant who rents her second bedroom in Brooklyn’s artsy Williamsburg neighborhood through Airbnb for $60 to $70 a night, depending on the season.

Farer says she covers about half her rent through such arrangements. And besides, “I’ve met so many wonderful people from France, Germany, Spain, South Africa, Brazil, the Philippines.”

Pauline Frommer, travel guide author and publisher of Frommers.com, says Airbnb fills a need in a city where hotel prices average $275. Similar sites include Flipkey.com and housetrip. com.

“New York hotel prices are truly outrageous,” Frommer says. “The city is overwhelmed with visitors, and it’s practically impossible to find an affordable hotel room, so you need some kind of outlet.”

Airbnb started five years ago in San Francisco, after two roommates couldn’t

afford their rent and inflated air beds for paying guests.

It now operates globally in 35,000 communities, currently offering 500,000 listings, and is the world’s biggest short-term rental company. The site takes 6 to 12 percent of every rental.

In New York, the company says about 15,000 people are offering short-term rentals ranging from $35 for a private space in a Brooklyn studio to a $60 walkup in Times Square to $120 for a garden apartment in Brooklyn’s Red Hook to $921 for an antiques-furnished loft in Tribeca.

New York City has been aggressively challenging Airbnb, contending many sublets on its site are illegal because residents aren’t there. And the city says such rentals are cheating the city of lodging taxes.

Since the mayor’s office began examining short-term rentals in 2006, it has fielded more than 3,000 complaints and issued almost 6,000 notices of violation, including fire, safety and occupancy infractions, which carry fines.

What’s black and white and orange all over? Creative Halloween decorations made out of newspaper.

Black and white newsprint is a perfect starting point for spooky crafts.

A lightweight foam wreath form covered with newspaper roses looks elegant on its own, but can be dressed up with mini faux pumpkins, glittery berries, a swarm of spiders or bats, or any other embellishments. Making the flowers is inexpensive and fairly uncomplicated, but it’s not a quick process, particularly if you’re covering a large wreath. So find a good scary movie on TV and settle in for a lot of cutting, rolling and gluing.

Pairing newspaper with black and orange cardstock to make a decorative garland, on the other hand, is both easy and fast. Just use a paper punch to cut the paper into circles, and run them through the sewing machine to chain them together.

Wreath MATERIALS: — Foam wreath form — Newspaper — Hot glue gun and glue sticks — Scissors — Mini pumpkins or other embellishments Instructions: 1. Cut several sheets of newspaper into 1 ½ inch strips. Wrap them around the wreath form, overlapping each strip slightly, until it is covered. This will make it less obvious if there any gaps between the paper flowers that will be glued on later.

2. Stack three sheets of newspaper and trace a small salad plate or similarly-sized round object on the top layer as many times as it will fit. Cut circles out of all three layers.

3. Hold three paper circles together in a stack and starting at the outside edge, cut through all layers in a

With its black and white color scheme, newspaper can be the perfect starting point for Halloween crafts.

Just add some orange accents and turn newspapers into easy garlands or more elaborate paper flowers to adorn a wreath. spiral shape, moving from the outside toward the center. Try to keep the width of the resulting spiral-shaped strip consistent — mine were about ¾ of an inch — but it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Real flower petals aren’t!

8. Use hot glue to attach flowers to the wreath, placing them close together and avoiding gaps.

4. When you get close to the center, make the end of the spiral a quarter-sized circle. This will become the base of the flower.

MATERIALS:

5. Starting from the outer edge of the spiral, start rolling the paper strip around itself.

Roll the center fairly tightly, and then the rest looser to form the outer petals.

6. When you get close to the end, flip the flower upside down on your work surface (it will resemble a tiny lampshade at this point) and apply glue to base of the flower. Press it against the rolled up paper to securely adhere the coiled paper to the base.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 to make enough flowers to cover your wreath.

9. Embellish as desired.

Garland — Newspaper — Black card stock — Orange card stock — 1½-inch paper punch — Sewing machine — Thread Instructions: 1. Use paper punch to cut circles from newspaper and cardstock.

2. Sew across one paper circle, and then continue running the machine to create a chain of thread extending from the circle. You can place the next circle right up against the previous, or leave a bit of thread in between.

3. Continue sewing paper circles in a chain, alternating with newspaper and card stock until garland reaches the desired length.
