WASHINGTON (AP) — With time running short, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner accelerated efforts Friday to prevent the U.S. Treasury from default and end a partial government shutdown that stretched into an 11th day. The latest impacts: New aircraft grounded, military chaplains silenced and a crab harvest jeopardized in the Bering Sea. “Let’s put this hysterical talk of default behind us and instead start talking about finding solutions,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Republicans in the House and Senate separately made proposals to the White House for ending an impasse that polls say has inflicted damage on their party politically. Each offered to reopen the government and raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit — but only as part of broader approaches that envision deficit savings, changes to the health care law known as Obamacare and an easing of across-the-board spending cuts that the White House and Congress both dislike. The details and timing differed. “We’re waiting to hear” from administration officials, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Hopes remained high on Wall Street, where investors sent the Dow Jones industrial average 111 points higher following Thursday’s 323-point surge.

Convicted murderer back in criminal court FROM STAFF REPORTS

AUBURN — A DeKalb County man who went to prison for the 1984 murder of an elderly Butler woman is facing legal troubles again. Robert W. Sleek Jr., 60, of the 3300 block of C.R. 427, Waterloo, was arrested Oct. 5 by the Waterloo Police Department on a warrant charging him with theft, a Class D felony. He is scheduled to appear Monday for an initial hearing in DeKalb Superior Court I. Sleek is accused of taking a generator, ladder and rare electrical components from a yard where he was mowing. Sleek

first denied the allegation, then admitted he had taken the items and said he was willing to pay restitution, according to a police affidavit of probable cause for Sleek’s arrest. Police interviewed Sleek about the alleged theft while he was in the DeKalb County Jail, serving a 60-day sentence for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He had pleaded guilty to that offense Aug. 28 in DeKalb Superior Court I. Sleek has served a 50-year prison sentence in the Indiana Department of Correction for his conviction on a charge of murder in the Oct. 5, 1984, stabbing death of 67-year-old Pearl Lemper, who

was his neighbor in a duplex. A hunter found her body nine days later in a field near Newville. A DeKalb County jury found Sleek guilty of murder, and then-Judge Charles Quinn sentenced Sleek to 60 years in prison. Sleek Sleek appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court overturned his conviction, ordering a new trial. The Supreme Court ruled a taped confession that was played to the jury during the first trial was inadmissible, because

it was obtained illegally, and violated Sleek’s Miranda rights. The case was transferred to Delaware County, where Sleek pleaded guilty to murder. On April 16, 1987, Sleek was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Indiana Department of Correction records says Sleek’s earliest possible release date was Feb. 9, 2009, and appear to indicate he was released from prison on that date, after serving nearly 22 years. In the 1987 sentencing hearing, the judge noted Sleek’s criminal history included several drunken-driving charges, nine theft or forgery charges, several SEE CONVICTED, PAGE A8

Fremont youth, 13, dies in home fire BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — A Fremont Middle School eighth-grader lost his life in fire late Thursday night. Augustus “Gus” Larson, 13, apparently did not want to jump from the window of his second-story bedroom to flee the fire, said information from Steuben County Sheriff Tim Troyer. “The upstairs window/ screen to Gus’s bedroom was broken out, and it is believed that Gus did not want to jump and retreated back inside the home in an attempt to escape elsewhere. His body was discovered still inside the bedroom area,” Troyer said. Fremont Community Schools officials were notified and prepared for grief counseling for students. Steuben County Coroner Bill Harter said Gus Larson succumbed to smoke inhalation. His death was ruled accidental. An autopsy was

conducted Friday morning in Fort Wayne. The fire was at 6655 E. C.R. 500N, Fremont, at the Mitchel and Crystal Larson residence. It was reported at about 11:45 p.m. “The Larson family was sleeping when an adult was awakened to the smell of smoke. All family members were immediately awakened and began to escape the home that was filling with heavy smoke,” Troyer said. When Fremont Police arrived on the scene, they found the home fully engulfed in flames, said a news release from the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department. Members of the Larson family were outside the home and told police there was one person still inside. Personnel from the Fremont Police and Fire departments and Steuben County Sheriff’s Department were on the scene. Fremont Fire and Police personnel tried in vain to reach Gus Larson,

“However, the fire was too involved to fully enter the structure,” Troyer said. Firefighters from seven departments were called in to fight the fire, which was placed under control at 1:17 p.m. The fire remains under investigation by the sheriff, Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office and Fremont Fire. Investigators remained on the scene Friday afternoon. Assisting the Fremont Fire Department were fire depeartments from Angola, Orland, Ashley, Steuben Township, Hudson, Montgomery, Mich., and Northwest Township in Ohio. Also on the scene were personnel from the Indiana State Police, Steuben County Emergency Management, American Red Cross and Steuben County Coroner’s Office. AN EARLY VERSION of this

United Way leaders report at breakfast BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com

ASHLEY — Even though it’s early October, United Way supporters wore parkas and snow boots at Friday’s campaign breakfast as part of this year’s Bon Voyage theme — this week featuring the chilly Arctic region. Campaign co-chairs David and Stacy Hefty welcomed the lively group gathered at the Ashley Masonic Lodge for a hearty breakfast sponsored by TI Automotive in Ashley. Stacy Hefty said she and her husband have enjoyed traveling around the county for the United Way, meeting a lot of new people and sharing information about the United Way’s programs. “Good things are already happening,” she said. Many agency representatives attended Friday’s breakfast and provided informational posters about their services. United Way resource coordinator Sonja Situm and executive director Julie Hill-Lauer reported on giving so far in this year’s drive to collect $700,000 for local agencies. Hefty Wealth Partners, owned by the Heftys, increased giving by nearly 400 percent. “When you get involved, you learn more” about the good United Way does in the community, Stacy Hefty said. The company went from three donors last year with $1,125 in donations to 11 donors and $4,340 in donations plus a $1,350 match. A great deal of the new dollars will qualify for a matching dollar-for-dollar grant, Hill-Lauer said.

ANGOLA — The first hearing in the federal lawsuit against Angola brought by the owners of a proposed Showgirl strip club in the city likely will be continued, indicated a Thursday filing in U.S. Federal District Court, South Bend. Alva and Sandra Butler of Fort Wayne, owners of the Showgirl III strip club in that city, are suing Angola over alleged rights violations in denying the opening of a Showgirl club here. The case was filed in March and through a variety of filings and pleadings on the part of Butler and Angola, the case was headed for an Oct. 25 hearing in South Bend before Judge Robert L. Miller Jr. The hearing was to take up the city’s motion for summary judgment and Butler’s motion for a preliminary injunction. “It appears very likely that the court will be unable to produce a ruling (with adequate reasoning and discussion of the cited authorities) on the pending motion for judgment on the pleadings before the October 25 hearing,” Miller wrote. “Such a ruling was expected to be issued before October 25 when the other motions were set for hearing on that date.” Miller said the parties could seek a continuance of the Oct. 25 hearing or go on with it as planned. What Angola requested, in essence, was dismissal of the suit. Butler wants the court to rule city law and actions nulified.

In March, Butler sued the city, claiming that in trying to open a sexually oriented business, his constitutional rights were violated. Butler claims when he purchased the former Slider’s Grill and Bar building at 310 W. Wendell Jacob Ave. on Aug. 9, it met Angola’s existing requirements to operate a sexually oriented business. His suit claims the city took actions that would legislate him out of being able to operate at the former Slider’s location. The city claims it was well within its rights to enact ordinances regulating sexually oriented businesses and changing zoning classifications where the businesses would be allowed. The city’s actions came in September and November. Meanwhile, as part of the pleadings, the city has outlined a variety of land parcels in Angola’s zoning jurisdiction where Showgirl would be able to operate under the new zoning regulations. There are 29 properties covering 95.5 acres that would be eligible in their entirety for use by a sexually oriented business. Another 12 parcels covering 14.7 acres would be partly eligible for use by a sexually oriented business. Expert witnesses on behalf of Butler, his attorneys countered, show there are no sites in Angola that would meet the requirements to allow siting of a sexually oriented business. In response to the city’s filing, Butler’s attorneys said their expert witnesses have testified in cases for both sides of clients in adult entertainment industry court battles.

Rieke expanding Hamilton operations HAMILTON — Rieke Packaging Systems has received a property-tax reduction for equipment it will add at its Hamilton operations.

Police say drivers’ spat leads to DeKalb County crash WATERLOO — A Warsaw man was injured and his sport-utility vehicle destroyed by an incident Tuesday that allegedly began with disgruntled motorists driving northbound on Interstate 69 in DeKalb County. Nathan D. Wilson, 25, suffered broken ribs in the crash at 3:10 p.m. on U.S. 6, east of C.R. 19, according to a DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department news release.

Wilson reportedly told police he was driving a 1996 Toyota 4Runner northbound on I-69 when he became upset with a man driving a 2002 Ford F-350, also northbound on the interstate. Wilson alleged that the driver of the Ford, Russell Coleman, 63, of Goshen, made a gesture at him. When Coleman exited I-69 and headed west on U.S. 6, Wilson followed him.

The news release said Wilson passed Coleman’s vehicle, attempting to get him to pull over, but Coleman would not stop. Wilson eventually started to slow to turn left into a drive at 2092 U.S. 6. Coleman did not see that Wilson was turning and started to pass him on the left, the news release said. Coleman’s Ford struck the Toyota on the rear driver’s side.

ANGOLA — Once again, an annual event that helps more than 250 people saw Steuben and DeKalb counties RISE to the Occasion Thursday. RISE Inc.’s eighth annual RISE to the Occasion featuring tastes, sights and sounds of the lakes was held at Trine University’s Busse Center. Proceeds from the event help more than 250 developmentally disabled RISE clients reach their fullest potential, while becoming self-sufficient and independent. Denise Payton, RISE’s executive director, said 500 people pre-registered for the event, and she felt it was a smashing success. “Every year it’s grown,” she said. “Ninety percent

of this event is done by sponsorships. This is the first year we tried the auctions, and I thought they were very successful.” Payton was pleased that 10 new businesses contacted her willing to be sponsors. “We’re only as successful as the community lets us be,” she said. “We started this because we wanted to give back to the community. We wanted to show what’s unique to Steuben and DeKalb counties.” Payton said four RISE clients served as greeters, as different ones are chosen each year. Clients and staff attending were treated to new outfits borrowed from Maurice’s. Amber King, RISE Creations activity director, did makeup and hair for clients attending.

In addition to his pastoral duties, he taught Spanish and English at East Springfield, Shipshewana, and Westview High School, and also worked as a custodian at Howe Military School after retirement from teaching and the ministry.

Death In The News • Larry Benoit, hunter of big bucks, dies MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Larry Benoit, a deer hunter who helped spawn a revival of the art of tracking and created an empire of books, videos and seminars, has died. He was 89. Benoit, whose given name was Lanyard, died Tuesday at Larry Benoit his home in Duxbury at 89. The cause of death was not released, but his son Shane said his father’s health had been declining. In the past 40 years, the name Benoit has become synonymous with deer hunting and the bagging of huge bucks, many weighing more than 200 pounds. During a lifetime of hunting, his family estimated, Benoit shot at least 200 bucks. “He has been my hero since I was 12 or 13,” said Scott Smolen, 56, a farmer from Mondovi, Wis., who invited Benoit to hunt his farm last November, when Benoit shot his last buck. Smolen first came to know Benoit by buying hunting supplies from him. “In my opinion,” Smolen said, “he was the greatest deer hunter that ever walked the face of the Earth.” The Benoit name moved beyond just the local hunters of central Vermont after a local photographer and author noticed that during every autumn’s hunting season, several large deer would be hanging outside the Benoit home along Route 100 just outside Waterbury. “People just couldn’t believe that we could successfully keep shooting huge bucks every year,” Shane Benoit said Friday.

Mom visits American detained in North Korea SEATTLE (AP) — An ailing American who has been detained in North Korea for 11 months has had an emotional reunion with his mother for the first time since he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, the family said Friday. Myunghee Bae was allowed into North Korea to see her son, Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American Christian missionary, at a hospital where he has been held since August. Bae’s sister, Terri Chung, of the Seattle suburb of Edmonds, said Friday she had not yet spoken with her mother, but did hear from the Swedish ambassador in Pyongyang, who attended the visit. Photographs of the reunion depicted Bae, wearing vertical stripes of blue and white, embracing his mother and holding her hand. “He said it was a very emotional meeting, that they had a reunion and that Kenneth did look better from

when he was hospitalized on Aug. 9,” Chung said. Kenneth Bae, a 45-year-old tour operator and Christian missionary, was arrested last November while leading a group of tourists in the northeastern region of Rason. The government accused him of subversive acts. He was transferred over the summer from a prison camp, where he largely farmed vegetables, to the hospital because he had lost more than 50 pounds. He also suffers from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain, his family has said. The ambassador reported that Bae has regained about 15 pounds since being hospitalized, Chung said. “The rest he’s been given must be helping,” Chung said. Though comforting, the visit did not necessarily give the family any greater hope that Bae might soon be freed: “We can only hope,” Chung said.

This is shutdown theater and fake austerity Government wants you to play a role in the “shutdown” of the federal government. Your role is to panic. Republicans and Democrats both assume that shutting some government is a terrible thing. The press concurs. “Shutdown threatens fragile economy,” warns Politico. “Federal workers turn to prayer,” laments The Washington Post. If the public starts noticing that life goes on as usual without all 3.4 million federal workers, we might get dangerous ideas, like JOHN doing without so much government. Politicians don’t want that. STOSSEL They’d rather have us worry about how America will cope. President Obama gave a speech where he actually said we need to keep government open for the sake of people like the person working for the Department of Agriculture “out there helping some Bureaucrats, acting farmers make sure like bullies, protest that they’re making some modest profit,” the partial closures by and the Department doing things like cutting of Housing and Urban Development off access to public “helping somebody parks — even privately buy a house for the first time.” funded ones. Give me a break. Farmers don’t need bureaucrats to teach them how to make a profit, and Americans can buy first homes without HUD helping a chosen few. Americans would make more profit and afford better homes if they didn’t have to spend a third of national income on federal taxes. Bureaucrats, acting like bullies, protest the partial closures by doing things like cutting off access to public parks — even privately funded ones. Federal cops block access to outdoor war memorials and much of Mt. Rushmore. They block access to motels and order people out of private homes that happen to sit on federal land. The Washington Free Beacon reports, “The closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation.” This is shutdown theater. It’s similar to the fake “austerity measures” in other countries. We’re told that Europe’s slow economic growth is a result of “austerity” embraced by European governments. But there hasn’t really been any austerity. England, where a “conservative” government is in charge, increased government spending by 4 percent. “Austerity” in Greece — supposedly so drastic that the public has little choice but to riot in protest — meant changes like reducing mandatory severance pay to one entire year (instead of two!). In the U.S., Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Cal., told CNN the federal government has cut so much spending that there’s just nothing left to cut: “The cupboard is bare! There’s no more cuts to make!” What? The federal government spends almost $4 trillion! The government cupboard overflows! We fund entire cabinet departments that are worse than useless. The Labor Department interferes with actual labor. Commerce would flow more smoothly without Commerce Department bureaucrats channeling money to their cronies. The government hasn’t cut spending — it never does. After the last shutdowns, politicians even voted to award retroactive pay to government workers who didn’t work. Bet they do it again this time. The federal government remains the biggest employer in the country. President Obama says so with pride. Compare this to what happens in the private sector in tough times: AT&T cut 40,000 workers. Sears cut 50,000. IBM: 60,000. They weren’t easy decisions, but they enabled the companies to stay profitable. With fewer workers, leaner companies found more efficient ways to get things done. And the rest of us barely noticed. We expect change and adaptation in free-market institutions. But it doesn’t happen in government. Government just grows. Maybe the ugliest part of this story is that the city that whines most about suffering through the shutdown, Washington, D.C., is now the richest geographic area in America. Washington got richer while the rest of America didn’t. Over the past 12 years, median income in the U.S. dropped about 6.5 percent — but not in D.C.! There, it rose 23 percent. Four of the five richest counties now surround Washington, D.C. No wonder politicians and bureaucrats are convinced big government is essential to keep the economy going — it is essential to keep them going.

Be sure to drop him before you go shopping We have to go to a wedding in a month or so. Sue needs something to wear and a gift for the lucky couple, so she’s out shopping. Even though I have plenty of free time, she said she wanted to go by herself. Now, I’m not one of those clingy, needy men who have to be attached to their spouse with Velcro. I’ve got plenty of my own stuff to do, so fine, go shop by yourself. It won’t hurt my feelings, though I don’t know how she’ll find anything without my help. I’m always pointing out things she should buy or try on, and making helpful suggestions about the wonderful outfits she’s passing up. I dread to see what she’ll come back with without my constant advice. She’s always complaining that the stuff in the stores is all made for teenagers, and I’m thinking, what’s the problem with that? Maybe she should start showing a little midriff. Alone, she’ll probably come

back with something she got on sale from the Amish Collection at the Clogger’s Secret. And without me, there’s no telling what present she’s going to buy for the newlyweds. She might pass up the JIM multiplayer video game MULLEN section entirely and buy them something like a coffeemaker, a toaster or a place setting — just because that’s what they picked when they registered. That doesn’t mean you have to buy it for them. They’re just young kids, what do they know? I think surprise is a big part of any gift. Who would expect to get a giant birdcage? Not my niece, I can

tell you that. Or a shop vac? These are the kind of things that newlyweds forget to ask for, but that really stop traffic on the gift table. Now Sue insists that we just give them a check. “Let them buy their own shop vac.” What a buzz-kill that is. It’s not just weddings; she’s even started to go grocery shopping without me, which means she’s sure to miss out on some incredible deals. I have actually seen her walk past a display of half-price sauerkraut without picking up a can. “It’s not the brand we buy,” she said. It’s sauerkraut, I wanted to say, there is no wrong brand. It’s like kipper snacks: You can’t make a mistake. Many times when I’d say something, she wouldn’t seem to hear me. Naturally, I thought she was losing her hearing. There was a simple enough way to find out: I’d say something behind her back and see how close I had to get before she responded. One day I walked

into the kitchen and she had her back to me while she washed some dishes, so I said, “What’s for dinner?” Not a word. She didn’t move. I got one step closer and said, “What’s for dinner?” No response. I took another step closer and said, “What’s for dinner?” Suddenly she whipped around, put her hands on her hips and said, “For the third time, meatloaf!” So now I go shopping alone, too, which is turning out better than I expected. I never hear, “You don’t need that” or “We already have seven of those,” and when I see other guys pushing carts full of on-sale hominy and bacon mayonnaise and oddly flavored cheeses, I feel their kindred spirit. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; shop, and you shop alone. JIM MULLEN is a syndicated columnist with Newspaper Enterprise Association. He can be contacted at JimMullenBooks. com.

What Others Say • AT&T takes the lead on texting The world’s largest telecommunications company has launched a massive public service campaign to tell people not to use its own products — not behind the wheel, anyway. And somehow, it feels less self-serving than a cigarette company warning about the dangers of smoking, a liquor company telling you not to drink and drive or a Bushmaster

manufacturer preaching about gun safety. After all, this isn’t an inherently dangerous product. This is about a total misuse of phones, a relatively new phenomenon. A decade ago, who envisioned sending a text message at 70 mph on the Garden State Parkway? Randall Stephenson, AT&T’s chairman and chief executive, said in an interview a few years ago that someone close to him caused an accident while texting.

The smartphone “is a product we sell and it’s being used inappropriately,” he told the New York Times. And to make that clear, his company has enlisted the aid of its fiercest rivals, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon, which together have spent millions on co-branded ads and public events since 2010, to warn against texting while driving. AT&T even got the legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog to direct a series of short

films on the dangers. As a result, the number of people who had sworn off texting and driving has risen from 2.5 million to more than 3 million nationwide. Many did so after hearing the publicized stories of accident victims who were texting — such as a young woman trapped screaming inside her burning car for 23 minutes, in a harrowing video recorded on a police cruiser’s dash cam.

Extension Homemakers to mark week with dinner AUBURN — Mayor Norm Yoder signed a proclamation during the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair declaring Oct. 14-18 as DeKalb County Extension Homemakers Week for the city of Auburn. Yoder’s proclamation calls upon “all citizens and departments of governments to cooperate in the observance of the week.” The Indiana Homemakers Extension Association was founded in 1913 with the purpose of educating farm women. The DeKalb County Extension Homemakers Association began more than 90 years ago and continues to build on its heritage by working and strengthening DeKalb County homes and families. Today, the Homemakers have more than 160 members in 12 clubs — nine general clubs and three special-interest clubs.

In Yoder’s proclamation, he said the “DeKalb Extension Homemakers excel in community service.” Annually, the Homemakers make baby blankets for DeKalb Health hospital and cook the meal for the survivors’ breakfast during Relay For Life of DeKalb County. The organization also donates to area food pantries, St. Martin’s Health Clinic, Purdue Endowment Cancer Fund and Ronald McDonald House. They also regularly provide scholarships to area high school graduates. In celebration of Indiana Extension Homemakers Week, the DeKalb County Extension Homemakers will host a homemade beef and noodle dinner Wednesday from 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall at the DeKalb County 4-H Fairgrounds.

WINCHESTER (AP) — A jury convicted an eastern Indiana man of murder for allegedly gunning down his father and killing his mother by giving her a fatal overdose of her medication. The Randolph County jury deliberated for about an hour Thursday before returning the guilty verdicts against 37-year-old Brian Hartman. He was charged in the 2010 deaths of his 53-year-old father, also named Brian Hartman, and 52-year-old mother Cheri Hartman at their rural home outside Winchester. Testimony during the trial showed that the elder Hartman was shot in the head with a shotgun blast and his body stuffed into a plastic container where it was found 11 days later. Randolph County Prosecutor David Daly said Hartman that same day caused his mother’s death, likely with a fatal overdose of prescription medication that was missing. Cheri Hartman had suffered from cancer and emphysema, and her body was cremated, at her son’s direction, before authorities realized her husband had been killed. “Do you think he’s going to leave behind somebody who can tell what happened?” Daly told the jury. Hartman didn’t testify and no defense witnesses were called.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force fired the general in charge of its nuclear missiles on Friday, just two days after a Navy admiral with top nuclear weapons responsibilities was sacked. Both men are caught up in investigations of alleged personal misconduct, adding to a cascade of turmoil inside the nation’s nuclear weapons force. The Air Force removed Maj. Gen. Michael Carey, a 35-year veteran, from his command of 20th Air Force, responsible for all 450 of the service’s intercontinental ballistic missiles. Carey, who took his post in Wyoming in June 2012, will be reassigned pending the outcome of an investigation into personal misbehavior, the service said. The Air Force would not specify what Carey is alleged to have done wrong, but two officials with knowledge of the investigation indicated that it was linked to alcohol use. They said it was not related to the performance or combat readiness of

ICBM units or to his stewardship of the force. Removing senior officers in the nuclear force is rare but has happened twice this week. On Wednesday the Navy said Vice Adm. Tim Giardina, the second-incharge at U.S. Strategic Command, was fired amid an investigation of gambling issues. He was demoted from three- to two-star rank and reassigned to a Navy staff job until the investigation is completed. Together, the firings add a new dimension to a set of serious problems facing the military’s nuclear force. The ICBM segment in particular has had several recent setbacks, including a failed safety and security inspection at a base in Montana in August, followed by the firing of the colonel there in charge of security forces. In May, The Associated Press revealed that 17 Minuteman 3 missile launch control officers at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., had been taken off duty in a reflection of what one

officer there called “rot” inside the ICBM force. In a March inspection, missile launch crews at Minot scored the equivalent of a “D” grade on missile operations. In June the Minot officer in charge of training and proficiency of missile crews was fired. Throughout this period the Air Force and top Pentagon officials have insisted that the nuclear force is safe and secure. But the competence of its management has been questioned. Documents obtained by the AP show that at lower levels the force is beset with morale problems and incidents of indiscipline. The U.S. has been shrinking the size of its nuclear arsenal for many years; it is comprised of long-range missiles aboard submarines, long-range bombers and ICBMs. As of Oct. 1 the U.S. had 1,688 deployed strategic nuclear warheads, which Washington is obliged to reduce to 1,550 by 2018 under the New START treaty with Russia.

Washington gets low marks

GOP: Obama, Boehner agree talks should continue

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are fed up with Washington and spreading derision around to President Barack Obama and both political parties, according to a new poll that could sound a warning for incumbents of all political stripes going into next year’s midterm election. Negativity historically hurts the party in power — particularly when it occurs in the second term of a presidency — but this round seems to be hitting everyone, and Republicans even harder. The AP-GfK poll finds about 7

owners about the impacts they were feeling from the budget battles, and said he hoped to be able to bring them toward a conclusion, said Det Ansinn, who attended the session. “He was a little slightly melancholy that maybe it could be done over the weekend and maybe not. He’s been down this road before,” said Ansinn, owner of Doylestown, Pa.-based mobile and Web app developer Brick Simple. Ansinn said he told the president how the shutdown is threating to delay some of his projects and he fears what a possible impending government default could do to the economy. In meetings with lawmakers over two days, Obama left open the possibility he would sign

from power in the House and Senate, and in 2010, they fired Democrats who had been controlling the House. “There needs to be a major change,” said Pam Morrison, 56, of Lincoln, Neb., among those who were surveyed. “I’m anxious for the next election to see what kind of new blood we can get.” The poll taken Oct. 3-7 finds few people approve of the way Obama is handling most major issues, and most people say he’s not decisive, strong, honest, reasonable or inspiring.

Another migrant ship capsizes VALLETTA, Malta (AP) — For the second time in a week, a smugglers’ boat overloaded with migrants capsized in the Canal of Sicily on Friday as it made the perilous crossing from Africa to Europe. At least 27 people drowned, but 221 people were rescued in a joint Italian-Maltese operation, officials said. Helicopters ferried the injured to Lampedusa, the Italian island that is closer to Africa than the Italian mainland and the destination of choice for most smugglers’ boats leaving Tunisia or Libya. It was off Lampedusa that a migrant ship from Libya capsized

Oct. 3 with some 500 people aboard. Only 155 survived. Friday’s capsizing occurred 65 miles (105 kilometers) southeast of Lampedusa, but in waters where Malta has search and rescue responsibilities. The two shipwrecks were the latest grim reminder of the extreme risks that migrants and asylum-seekers often take in an effort to slip into Europe every year by boat. Facing unrest and persecution in Africa and the Middle East, many of the migrants think the Lampedusa escape route to Europe, which is barely 70 miles (113 kilometers) from northern Africa, is worth the risk.

“They do know that they are risking their lives, but it is a rational decision,” said Maurizio Albahari, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Notre Dame. “Because they know for a fact they will be facing death or persecution at home — whatever remains of their home, or assuming there is a home in the first place.” In the latest case, the Italian coast guard said it received a satellite phone call from the boat that it was in distress and was able to locate it based on the satellite coordinates, said coast guard spokesman Marco Di Milla.

legislation repealing a medical device tax enacted as part of the health care law. Yet there was no indication he was willing to do so with a default looming and the government partially closed. Obama called Boehner at midafternoon, and Michael Steel, a spokesman for the leader of House Republicans, said, “They agreed that we should all keep talking.” Jay Carney, the president’s press secretary, said Obama “appreciates the constructive nature of the conversation and the proposal that House Republicans put forward. At yet, the spokesman said, “He has some concerns with it.” In Congress, the man certain to be involved in any final agreement, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, gave no indication of his plans.

While the impact of the shutdown varies widely, lawmakers seemed to be taking care of their own needs. The members-only House gym remained in operation, and enough Senate staff was at work to operate the aging underground tram that ferries senators and others from the Russell Office Building to the Capitol a short distance away. The shutdown sent ripples nationwide. The aerospace industry reported that furloughs at the Federal Aviation Administration have resulted in a virtual stop to certification of new aircraft, equipment and training simulators. The Senate passed legislation instructing the Pentagon to permit military chaplains to conduct worship services.

Sleek moved about one month ago to an apartment near DeKalb Middle School, Bundy said. That would not be permitted under rules for registered sex offenders, but due to the court ruling, DeKalb County authorities

Braves keep Barons winless BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

DECATUR — Again, DeKalb coach Mike DeVos saw noticeable improvements in his young football team’s play. Again, however, it was not enough to develop a win. The Barons led in a game for the first time this season but then gave up 683 yards of total offense and forced no punts of the Bellmont offense on the way to a 62-27 loss. Bellmont moves to 4-4 (3-3 Northeast Hoosier Conference) on the season, while DeKalb drops to 0-8 (0-8 NHC). DeVos said the focus of this week’s practices was finishing plays, and DeKalb was undone in that regard. Bellmont’s 488

rushing yards included five runs of more than 20 yards by backs who broke free from Baron grasp. The Braves averaged 11.6 yards per carry. “We’re getting there,” said DeVos. “Defensively, we still have to finish. You give props to Bellmont; they have a unique game plan and they do it very well. But I give all the props in the world to our team, because they never quit. This team plays hard through the end and they stick together as a unit.” The Barons started hot for the first time this season. Linebacker Zac Garcia interceped Bellmont’s Jordan Amacker to halt a long Braves drive, and DeKalb’s offense took over at the 40-yard

line. Five plays later, quarterback Harrison Price lobbed a ball over a sprinting Chad Ramus’ shoulders for a 30-yard touchdown. A missed extra point did nothing to quiet a Barons fan base who made the trip to see DeKalb’s first lead of the season. The lead vanished quickly, though. Bellmont responded with an impressive drive capped by a Chase Ellsworth 6-yard touchdown, then began the second quarter with a block of a DeKalb punt that put its offense with a first-and-goal from the Barons’ 1-yard line. Tailback Trevor Love scored the next play to give Bellmont a 14-6 lead. Love would score again on the Braves next drive, and after

LEO — Leo ran only 13 plays in each half in Friday’s Allen County Athletic Conference tilt against Garrett. In the first half, the 4A No. 6/7 Lions only tallied 64 yards as the visiting Railroaders kept the score tied at halftime. But Leo erupted for three big plays and 205 yards in the second half en route to a 35-7 win that was much closer than the final score indicated. Leo (8-0, 5-0 ACAC) clinched a share of the ACAC title with the victory. Garrett (4-4, 2-3 ACAC) looked to be shorthanded from the get-go, as starting quarterback Noah Follett was out with an injury suffered last week. Stepping into his shoes was freshman Tanner Burns, making his first career varsity start. Garrett drove inside the Leo 15-yard line on its first two drives but came up empty. On the first one, a Karsten Cooper 28-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Logan Glaze, and teammate Austin Rinker picked it up and ran 89 yards for a 7-0 Leo lead following the extra point. On the next possession, the Railroaders drove to the 12 but the drive fizzled out. “When you play a good team, you’ve got to cash in while you’re down there. Maybe we shoul’ve taken a shot or two at the end zone,” said Garrett head coach Chris DePew. Garrett would tie it up in the second quarter thanks to a short field set up by an 18-yard Leo

with a Gamble 1-yard punch-in with 17 seconds left in the half. Bellmont led 34-20 going into the half. It would score three unanswered touchdowns to open the second half, though. Carter Friedt broke away for a 34-yard touchdown run 83 seconds in the third quarter, and six minutes later, Amacker hit Sefton again for a 16-yard strike-for-touchdown. Ellsworth opened the fourth quarter with an 11-yard touchdown run, the big senior back’s third of the evening. The Barons’ only score of the second half came on a trick play, when Price tossed out to Ramus, who flung it back across the field to Price, who sped 48 yards for a touchdown with 3:25 left to play. It, too, was answered by Bellmont. Tailback Parker Burkhalter broke a 40-yard touchdown run two minutes later. Bellmont possessed the ball 10 minutes less than DeKalb (19:41), but made its possessions count. The Braves earned 28 first downs and converted four of five third downs. DeVos said his defense was outmatched by a much larger Bellmont offensive line. Throughout the game,

the Barons offensive line collectively took knees and worked to catch their breath waiting for the Braves offense to set. “They were bigger than us, and they just beat us up front,” said DeVos. “They just took us up front.” DeKalb was led by Gamble’s 46 yards rushing and two scores. He also caught two balls for a team-high 69 yards. Price threw for 184 yards on 9-of-17 passing and a score to Ramus, who caught three balls for 64 yards. Bellmont coach Larry Getts said his team was scrambling for a win after two straight losses. “Our offensive line, our backs just worked tonight,” said Getts. “This is what we do, and the last couple weeks we weren’t able to do it or couldn’t do it or stopped doing it and it got a little frustrating. But to get back on track tonight and run the ball like we wanted to do was nice to see.” Bellmont was led by the Love-Ellsworth tandem, which accounted for 276 yards. Love carried 14 times for 144 yards and two scores, while Ellsworth ran 9 times for 132 yards and three touchdowns. Sefton caught four balls for 100 yards and a touchdown.

the third and later added a 73-yard score in the fourth quarter to provide the final margin. “They have big-play potential,” DePew said. There was a scary incident late in the third quarter. Garrett’s Tommy Reneau was blindsided on a hit by a Leo player and stayed down on the ground for more than 10 minutes before the EMT truck came out on to the field and took Reneau to the hospital. DePew did not specify the injury. Sumner was a workhorse for the Railroaders Friday night, carrying the ball 35 times for 131 yards. Bo Davis had 25 rushing yards and Gabe Gunion 22 yards. “He loves to run the ball. He gets mad when he doesn’t get to,” DePew said. “We trust him quite a bit. He, like most of them, is filling his role to the best of his ability. That’s all we can ask of him.” Burns completed 4 of 12 passes for 78 yards and two interceptions. Junior Cole Wilson caught all four of Burns’ passes for 78 yards. Garrett also dominated the first-down department, tallying 19 to

In its previous two games, defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago wasn’t in buttoned-down form as it allowed Tampa Bay and St. Louis to score late in a shootout and a regulation loss. It looked like more of the same was brewing Friday.

At 4-2, realistic Notre Dame seeks strong finish SOUTH BEND (AP) — The magic of Notre Dame’s surprising run to the national championship game last season started fading long before this season began. The trouble started three months before the opening kickoff when news leaked that quarterback Everett Golson, who had helped spark the Irish to the title game, had been suspended for the semester by the university. That was quickly followed by news that blue chip recruit Eddie Vanderdoes was defecting to UCLA before signing up for his first class at Notre Dame. Then, during preseason practices, linebacker Danny Spond was forced to give up football after being struck for a second time by a paralyzing migraine headache. Coach Brian Kelly often talked of the margin between winning and losing being razor thin a year ago, when the Irish survived many a close call en route to an undefeated regular season. He said the margin this season is even thinner. And nothing illustrates that better than Notre Dame’s 37-34 victory over Arizona State last week that allowed the Fighting Irish to go into their off week with a satisfactory if not satisfying 4-2 record rather than 3-3 with a fan base in full-fledged panic. The players know the difference, regardless. “For us just mentally and with our schedule, 4-2 is a lot better than 3-3,” receiver TJ Jones said. “Leading into the

bye week, we needed to leave on a good note.” The Irish have won 11 national championships during their storied history, but are a quarter century removed from their most recent title — the longest drought ever. So how do the Irish measure success these days? Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said there are two parts to that answer: the Irish want to aspire to a national championship each year, but have to realize sometimes circumstances make it difficult. “That’s the way we engage

in the business,” he said. “Every year is going to be different and represent different potential, injuries, what your opponents are doing — a whole host of things come into play. What I’m looking for is, are we making week-to-week progress, quarter-to-quarter progress? Are we getting better? Are we developing the student-athletes? “That’s the only litmus test I have once we’re in the season.” Swarbrick sees progress in this year’s team, saying the win over Arizona State was the most complete effort by the Irish as

the offense, defense and special teams all contributed. He also sees year-to-year progress under Kelly, who signed a five-year contract just before the season started. With a national championship out of reach, and some difficult games on deck, the Irish will continue to push forward. They play host to USC on Oct. 19, and the regularseason finale is at Stanford, ranked No. 5 this week, on Nov. 30. With the Irish still a season away from gaining access to bowls with Atlantic Coast Conference ties, Notre Dame faces the prospect of earning a BCS berth or waiting to see which of the lower-level bowls are unable to fill their slots. But Kelly doesn’t think believe his players are looking that far down the road. “We just don’t get too far ahead of ourselves, because we are staying in the present,” he said. “And if we think about anything else but the next day of practice, we just would be putting ourselves in peril.” The Irish will start the season’s second half still searching for a balanced offense, a No. 1 running back and adjusting to life without starting middle linebacker Jarrett Grace. The replacement for Manti Te’o, Grace sustained a broken leg last week. And they’ll play the rest of the way on freshly installed grass, the third time this year that new sod is being installed at Notre Dame Stadium.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Winslow suspended 4 games FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was suspended without pay for four games by the NFL on Friday for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances. Winslow, the team’s leading receiver with 17 catches, will immediately begin his suspension, meaning he will sit out the Jets’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. He will be eligible to return to the Jets’ active roster on Nov. 4, following New York’s game against New Orleans on Nov. 3. The Jets have a bye-week break after they play the Saints, so Winslow’s next opportunity to play would be on Nov. 17 at Buffalo.

Mansally suspended 2 games SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Real Salt Lake defender Abdoulie Mansally has been suspended for two games for a serious foul in the 15th minute of a game against Dallas midfielder Jackson. Mansally received a red card on the play Saturday. The players union submitted an appeal, but the MLS Disciplinary Committee’s decision was upheld. Mansally is suspended for two games, one for having received a red card and one imposed by the committee. He will sit out on Oct. 19 vs. Portland and Oct. 23 against Chivas USA.

Bears’ Williams to miss rest of season LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears middle linebacker D.J. Williams will miss the remainder of the season because of a chest injury. Williams ruptured his left pectoral muscle tendon during Thursday’s win over the New York Giants. Coach Marc Trestman was not sure on Friday how the injury occurred. Williams, signed in the offseason to help replace Brian Urlacher, left in the third quarter, the latest injury for a defense that’s had its share. The Bears visit Washington next week, and with Williams out, rookie Jonathan Bostic figures to start in his place.

Governor, others to sell pumpkins

Control poison hemlock in fall WEST LAFAYETTE — Crop and livestock producers with poison hemlock in their pastures, crops or ditches should consider treating the weed in the fall, a Purdue Extension weed specialist says. Poison hemlock is a biennial weed that is toxic to both livestock and humans, if is ELYSIA enough consumed. can be RODGERS Itidentifi ed by its finely divided, toothed leaves and white flowers. Its stems are hairless, have purple spots or blotches and can grow to 2-7 feet in height. “The weed seems to be spreading, becoming a more common occurrence in pastures, agronomic crops, fencerows and roadsides,� Bill Johnson said. “It can be difficult to control in the spring. It’s easier to control in the fall because it’s more sensitive to herbicides.� The plant growth and appearance is more visible in the spring, when the plants “bolt,� or elongate rapidly, and the white flowers bloom, so that’s when most people become concerned with it. But Johnson said there is active rosette formation of the weed in the fall. “Growers should really think about fall-applied herbicide treatments whether they’re treating their

pastures or fields going to corn or soybeans next year,� he said. “They should be treating them in the fall to control poison hemlock.� For control in grass pastures, he recommended using one of a couple of herbicides that contain triclopyr as an active ingredient. The good news for livestock producers is that while poison hemlock is considered to be most toxic in the fall, livestock usually won’t eat the plant if there are other options in the pasture. “Cows won’t usually eat poison hemlock, because this weed doesn’t taste as good as the more desirable pasture species,� Johnson said. “But if the pasture is limited in desirable forages, then there may be a situation where the cows will get hungry enough to eat the plant.� In corn or soybeans where poison hemlock is a nuisance, growers can try an aggressive tillage program to disrupt it. If a herbicide is needed for control in agronomic crops, Johnson recommended applying products containing dicamba. Farmers should be aware that some herbicides can damage legumes or other desired vegetation, so they need to double-check labels before applying them.

Falling feed prices helping hog farmers WEST LAFAYETTE — Hog production is returning to profitability as feed prices fall, and a reduction in slaughter numbers seems to show that producers are noticing, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt says. Major drought in 2012 ransacked the nation’s feed crops, sending livestock feed prices sky high and driving hog producers to quickly send animals to slaughter. With a large-yielding corn crop expected this year, feed prices have been decreasing, which has turned around the outlook for hog profits. “This year, the hog outlook is almost the opposite of what it was last year,� Hurt said. “Feed prices, especially corn, have been falling sharply. The hog outlook is profitable, so producers are more likely to be retaining or building the breeding herd and weights are expected to increase as producers hold onto market hogs longer to gain profits on every pound.�

The most recent hog numbers available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, from the September Hogs and Pigs Report, showed that hog inventories are unchanged to somewhat larger compared to a year ago. “Yet slaughter in recent weeks has been very low, seemingly indicating a divergence from USDA’s reading,� Hurt said. Between mid-August and the end of September, slaughter rates dropped by an average of more than 5 percent and weekly slaughter rates have been down anywhere from 3 to 10 percent. One explanation for the perceived difference in USDA’s inventory numbers and slaughter rates could be related to animal deaths from the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, or PEDV. The USDA doesn’t track PEDV deaths, so Hurt said those numbers aren’t known for certain and it could be several months before hog markets are able to sort out the effects of the virus. Another explanation for seemingly low slaughter rates could be attributed to the way the industry and markets evaluate herd numbers with year-toyear comparisons. Hogs went to market at higherthan-normal rates in 2012 because high feed prices meant the cost of production was higher than producers could sustain. “What is being viewed as a very low slaughter in recent weeks might be due to an aberration in the slaughter numbers a year ago,� Hurt said. “The unusually high slaughter in the late-summer of 2012 was being driven by the drought. Record-high feed prices and large anticipated

Pork producer to speak to animal science students WATERLOO — DeKalb High School students will hear how are farmers using innovation and technology to grow healthier food and the impact food, animal care and the environment on Thursday, Oct. 17, when Rebecca Schroeder of Whiteshire Hamroc in Albion speaks to the animal science class. Titled “Modern Animal Agriculture and Pork Production,� the talk by Schroeder will highlight how ongoing advancements in agricultural science are helping farmers raise better food while using fewer natural resources than ever before. “Farmers who raise pigs have been able to make great progress in animal health, food safety and protecting the environment,� said Schroeder. “And farmers know they must always keep learning and working to get better at what they do.� Farmers now use 41 percent less water and 78 percent less land to raise pigs than they did 50 years ago, she said. “Modern barns, a focus on nutrition and animal care mean pigs live healthier lives than ever before,� said Schroeder. “And, healthy pigs mean healthy food. For example, pork tenderloin today is as lean as a skinless chicken breast and is certified by the American Heart Association as a heart-healthy food. I’d like to thank DeKalb High School for giving me an opportunity to share with these students what farmers are doing to make sure safe and healthy food gets to their dinner table today and in the future.� Schroeder is one of more than 3,000 pork producers in Indiana. She said Indiana’s pork industry contributes more than $3 billion to the state’s economy each year. losses provided a grave outlook for the industry, and some producers began to adjust.� Those adjustments included an increase in sow slaughter and, in some cases, total-herd liquidation a year ago. Now that the outlook has improved, breeding herd expansion has likely started and hogs are being held to higher weights. These factors mean that fewer animals are headed to market right now and prices have strengthened. “Given low slaughter numbers, cash prices of

hogs have been sharply higher than in the same period in 2012 when they averaged $55 per live hundredweight,� Hurt said. “With lower slaughter this year, they have averaged about $68 since mid-August.� Higher cash hog prices combined with lower feed costs are the important drivers for a profitable outlook over the next 12 months. Hurt said eastern Corn Belt live-hog prices are expected to average in the mid-$60s in the final quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.

Poor corn stalks reported WEST LAFAYETTE — Stalk health is poor in many Midwestern cornfields, meaning growers might need to take a “triage� approach when deciding which fields to harvest first, says Purdue Extension agronomist Bob Nielsen.

a combine difficult and ultimately lead to yield loss. “There are a lot of fields vulnerable to storms, so growers need to prioritize the health of their fields for harvest,� Nielsen said. “When we start harvesting corn in earnest, we need to get the weakest fields out the earliest.� While stalk breakage is easily seen when scouting fields, identifying stalks prone to lodging can be harder. The best way to identify compromised stalks is to pinch the lower stalk internodes to see if they collapse from the pressure. In some instances, Nielsen said pushing stalks out of the way when scouting is enough to make weak stalks fall over. “Fields and hybrids at high risk of stalk breakage should be harvested as early as possible to minimize the risk of significant mechanical harvest losses,� he said. “Recognize that hybrids can vary greatly for late-season stalk quality, even if grown in the same field, due to inherent differences for late-season plant health or resistance against carbohydrate remobilization when stressed during grainfill.�

New Jersey fights order to legalize same-sex marriage TRENTON, N.J. — A single judge should not be able to force New Jersey to recognize gay marriage, Gov. Chris Christie’s administration said in a court filing Friday. The argument is included in a brief the state submitted in support of its emergency appeal made a day earlier after a state judge refused to delay her order that New Jersey legalize same-sex marriage as of Oct. 21. “It is in the public interest that such a profound change, if it is to occur, take place not because a single judge — no matter how diligent, thoughtful, and thorough — ordered it, but rather because the Supreme Court, the ultimate arbiter, has deemed it necessary,” the state Attorney General’s Office said in its brief. “To overhaul such an ancient social institution prematurely, precipitously, or in a manner ultimately deemed unnecessary would injure not only the public interest, but the State that represents this interest.” Same-sex marriage has been a political and legal issue in New Jersey for more than a decade, but it’s probably never had the urgency it has now. A group of couples plus the gay rights group Garden State Equality sued in July in an effort to get the state to recognize gay marriages in light of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that cleared the path for the federal government to deliver marriage benefits to gay couples. Judge Mary Jacobson ruled in their favor last month. Now, the administration of Christie, a Republican and possible 2016 presidential candidate, is appealing both the overall ruling and Jacobson’s decision on Thursday not to delay the due date.

Montana oil site plagued by drugs BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The booming Bakken oil patch that’s given a major boost to U.S. energy production has emerged as a new front in the fight against drug trafficking. Organized crime rings are popping up in the Northern Plains, with traffickers sensing opportunity in the thousands of men and women lured there by the hope of a big paycheck. Law-enforcement officers across the region have teamed up to crack down on the trafficking, netting one of their most significant indictments so far this week — a dozen drug arrests in Montana and four in North Dakota. Authorities say more arrests are in the works as part of investigations conducted through an interagency partnership that will be announced Friday. But with drug offenses, violence and property crimes on the upswing, they face an uphill climb to reduce the spiking crime rate.

German groom forgets bride at gas station BERLIN (AP) — A German couple’s marriage got off to a rocky start when the groom forgot his bride at a highway gas station on the way home from their honeymoon, only noticing she was missing after hours had passed. Police said Friday the couple was heading home to Berlin from France when the man pulled over near the central town of Bad Hersfeld late Thursday to fill up their van. The woman had been sleeping in the back but got up — unbeknownst to the man — to use the toilets and he drove off before she returned. Only after 2 ½ hours on the road did he notice she was gone and called police, who said she was patiently waiting.

Investigators take samples from sand near a part of a missile that was suspected of carrying chemical agents, according to activists, in the country-

side of Ain Terma, Syria. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a watchdog group, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Friday.

Chemical weapons group awarded Nobel Peace Prize BEIRUT (AP) — The watchdog agency working to eliminate the world’s chemical weapons won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a powerful endorsement of the inspectors now on the ground in Syria on a perilous mission to destroy the regime’s stockpile of poison gas. In honoring the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said “recent events in Syria, where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons.” The prize came 10 days after OPCW inspectors started arriving in war-torn Syria to oversee the dismantling of President Bashar Assad’s chemical arsenal. While world leaders and former Nobel laureates

praised the group’s selection, some in Syria lamented that the prize would do nothing to end the bloodshed, most of which is being inflicted with conventional weapons. “The killing is continuing, the shelling is continuing and the dead continue to fall,” said Mohammed al-Tayeb, an activist who helped film casualties after the deadly chemical attack in August that the rebels and the government have blamed on each other. The peace prize, he added, should have gone to “whoever helps the Syrian people get rid of Bashar Assad.” After focusing on such themes as human rights and European unity in recent years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee this time returned to the core purpose of the 112-year-old Nobel

Peace Prize — disarming the world. Founded in 1997, the OPCW had largely worked out of the limelight until this year, when the United Nations called upon its expertise. The OPCW’s selection caught many by surprise. It was widely expected that the peace prize would go to Malala Yousafzai, the 16-yearold Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban last October for championing education for girls. “She is an outstanding woman and I think she has a bright future, and she will probably be a nominee next year or the year after that,” said Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland. The peace prize committee has a tradition of not just honoring past achievements, but encouraging causes or movements that are still unfolding.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The future of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan after the last troops leave at the end of 2014 may depend on whether U.S. officials like Secretary of State John Kerry can allay Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s worries about sovereignty, Pakistan and the safety of Afghan citizens at the hands of Western troops. Kerry began urgent talks Friday with Karzai as an end-of-October deadline loomed for a security deal that would allow American troops to remain in Afghanistan after the NATO-led military mission ends next year. Kerry’s unannounced visit to Kabul comes as talks on the bilateral security agreement have foundered over issues of Afghan sovereignty despite a year of negotiations. Discussions have stalled over Karzai’s demand for American guarantees against future foreign intervention from countries like Pakistan and U.S. demands for any post-2014 residual force to be able to conduct counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations. U.S. officials insist they are optimistic about a deal, but the continuing deadlock leaves it doubtful that any agreement will be reached by the deadline. If no deal is signed, there will be no U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 2014. They said uncertainty caused by the lack of a signed agreement by the deadline would make it more difficult to plan the next phases of withdrawal

from Afghanistan and could erode the resolve of NATO allies that are considering leaving troops there for training. Without the United States on board, it is unlikely that NATO or any of its allies would keep troops in Afghanistan. Germany has already indicated it will not commit the 800 soldiers it has promised. “That’s why we’re pressing,” said one of the officials traveling with Kerry. However, the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly preview Kerry’s discussions with Karzai, stressed that Kerry is not expecting to clinch an agreement during his visit. Instead, the trip, which Kerry and Karzai set up in an Oct. 5 phone call, is meant to build momentum for the negotiators who will continue their talks after Kerry departs, the officials said. The atmosphere surrounding the talks has been soured by recent angry comments from Karzai complaining about the conduct of NATO forces. One possible reason for the complaints could have been the capture of a senior Pakistani Taliban commander by U.S. forces on the same day Kerry and Karzai last spoke. Pakistani intelligence officials, Pakistani Taliban and Afghan officials said Latif Mehsud was arrested by American forces as he was driving along a main highway. Karzai saw the move as an infringement on Afghan sovereignty.

States work to get national parks open SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Obama administration’s willingness to reopen national parks shuttered by the government shutdown came with a big caveat: States must foot the bill with money they likely won’t see again. So far, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Arizona and New York have jumped at the deal. Governors in other states were trying to gauge Friday what would be the bigger economic hit — paying to keep the parks operating or losing the tourist money that flows when the scenic attractions are open. South Dakota and several corporate donors worked out a deal with the National Park Service to reopen Mount Rushmore beginning Monday. Gov. Dennis Daugaard said it will cost $15,200 a day to pay the federal government to run the landmark in the Black Hills. He said he wired four days’ worth of the donations on Friday. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state will pay $61,600 a day to fully fund Park Service personnel and keep the Statue of Liberty open.

Arizona officials said a deal reached Friday will mean visitors should be able to return to Grand Canyon National Park on Saturday. In Utah, federal workers rushed to reopen five national parks for 10 days after the state sent $1.67 million to the U.S. government with the hope of saving its lucrative tourist season. Zion National Park superintendent Jock Whitworth said staff members began opening gates and removing barriers and expected to have the park fully operational Saturday. “This is a practical and temporary solution that will lessen the pain for some businesses and communities in Utah during this shutdown,” Interior Department Secretary Sally Jewell said in a statement. It was welcome news for beleaguered shop owners in the small town of Springdale adjacent to Zion. Hotels have been vacant and rental and retail shops have seen sales plummet during the shutdown. “It’s going to be awesome,” said Jenna Milligan of Zion Outfitters, an outdoor gear rental shop.

One dead as truck collides with train CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A logging truck collided Friday with a train carrying passengers on a scenic tour amid peak fall foliage season in the West Virginia mountains, killing one person and injuring 24 people Friday, authorities said. Two of the rail cars turned on their sides. A preliminary toll of more than 60 hurt tallied initially by authorities was subsequently revised downward by a hospital official, Tracy Fath. She told The Associated Press on Friday evening that

dozens brought to a hospital by a school bus were subsequently determined to be unhurt — despite an earlier account from an emergency official who said dozens on the bus had lesser injuries. “We’ve got 24 people who were treated” in the emergency room, Fath said by telephone from Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins. She added that of the 24 treated, three were admitted to the hospital, two in serious condition and one in stable condition.

Visitors to Zion National Park take in the sights after the park opened on a limited basis Friday. Earlier, the Obama administration said it would allow

“A lot of businesses have suffered severely because of the government. I just hope it does stay open through autumn.” In Colorado, officials said a deal had been struck for the state to pay $360,000 to reopen

states to use their own money to reopen some national parks after a handful of governors made the request.

Rocky Mountain National Park for 10 days to allow tourists to reach Estes Park. The visitors are needed to help the town recover from flooding. Just over 400 national parks, recreation areas and monuments — including

such icons as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite — have been closed since Oct. 1 because of the partial government shutdown. More than 20,000 National Park Service employees have been furloughed.

Woman anxious about leaving blanket behind DEAR ABBY: I am 19, and because of some traumatic events in my past, I’m afraid of the dark and sleep with my baby blanket. I went to counseling about it, but eventually stopped because it didn’t help. I haven’t had any real problems as a result of the issue because I live at home and my boyfriend has been supportive in accommodating my needs when I stay with him. Plus, I don’t need my blanket when I’m with him. My concern is about the upcoming semester. I will have to move to the main campus of my university in order to continue my education. This means I’ll be living in a shared dorm. The two times it came up during high school, I was teased mercilessly until something else came along. While I have reached the point where I can go without my blanket for a few nights, any longer

DEAR ABBY: What do you do if you like a teacher? Do you just hide it? He always comes to my table and I can’t focus because I get so distracted. I think he’s very good-looking. I’m 13 and he’s 23. What should I do? — CRUSHING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CRUSHING: What you’re experiencing happens in countless classrooms and it’s perfectly normal. Unless you’re an accomplished actress, hiding your feelings would be like trying to smuggle dawn past a rooster. Function as best you can, and don’t stare at him because it could be embarrassing for him. If you want to impress him, be his top-achieving pupil. The strong emotions you’re feeling will fade once an attractive young man your age appears on the horizon. Trust me on that, because I’m speaking from experience.

Researchers look to slow ravages of ALS dementia. ALS generally strikes patients between the ages of 50 and 70. We don’t know what causes ALS. As a result, there is no way to prevent it. Some cases appear to be inherited. The weakness and wasting (atrophy) of the muscles involves the ASK arms and legs, breathing DOCTOR K. the muscles, and the muscles the throat Dr. Anthony of and tongue. The weakness Komaroff worsens over time. Eventually, people with ALS are trapped in their bodies, but completely alert. They understand what’s going on around them, including people speaking to

them. But when the disease progresses to the point where it withers the muscles of their throat and tongue, they cannot answer. As the disease progresses, a person may experience: • muscle twitching, cramps, stiffness, and muscles that tire easily; • slowed speech that becomes progressively harder to understand; • difficulty breathing and swallowing; choking; • weight loss because of muscle breakdown and poor nutrition caused by problems swallowing; • changes in the way the person walks. Eventually, loss of the ability to walk. There is no cure for ALS. People with the disease live an average of three to five years after symptoms begin. (The famous British physicist Stephen Hawking has a disease similar to ALS and has lived with it for 50 years. But apparently does not have ALS.)

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: Former Massachusetts governor Paul Cellucci recently died from complications of ALS. Can you tell me more about this disease? DEAR READER: ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. You may know it as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the famous baseball player who suffered from it. There are many different kinds of brain cells. Some do our thinking, some move our muscles (when the ones that think tell them to), and other brain cells do other things (such as see and hear). ALS primarily causes a slow degeneration of the nerve cells that control muscle movements. As a result, people with ALS gradually lose the ability to control their muscles. In people with ALS, the capacity to think and remember things is affected only in fairly subtle ways, and may not be affected at all. ALS does not usually cause

and it starts to get to me. I don’t want to have problems when I move to the main campus because I’m already going to stand out for moving in the middle of the year, but I don’t know how to keep training myself to DEAR give up my ABBY blanket. — STILL SCARED DEAR Jeanne Phillips STILL SCARED: You might not have to. I have a suggestion that might be helpful, but it would require having your blanket converted into a “huggie pillow.” That way you can still sleep with it but it would no longer resemble a baby blanket.

Riluzole (Rilutek) is the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ALS. It can prolong survival in some people. Medications may help to manage symptoms of ALS; pain medications and muscle relaxants may help with painful muscle tightness. Mechanical devices can make self-care easier for people with ALS. Examples include dressing aids and special utensils for eating. A cane or walker may help with walking. Patients can consider using a mechanical respirator if they become unable to breathe on their own. Artificial ventilation can help some patients survive for years, but many patients choose not to be kept alive under these conditions.
