GOOD MORNING Man gets hit by train, walks away TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a Kansas man who was walking along railroad tracks wearing headphones was hit by a train that he didn’t hear approaching behind him — but that he got back up and kept walking.

Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones says the BNSF conductor slowed down the train and blew the horn when he saw 25-year-old Kristopher Wenberg on the tracks in Topeka on Thursday.

Wenberg told deputies he couldn’t hear the train, which eventually hit him. Jones says Wenberg promptly got back up and called someone on his cellphone as he walked away. He went to a hospital with cuts on his legs and shoulder.

It is against the law to walk on train tracks and Wenberg would be cited for criminal trespass.

Looking back on 107 years DeKalb woman reaches milestone age

BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — Ethel Chapman is a world-class traveler. She saw the pyramids in Egypt, rode a camel in Israel and got “pinched” in Rome. Yet, for Ethel, her biggest milestone came Thursday when she reached her 107th birthday.

Family and friends will celebrate Ethel’s birthday today at Wesley Healthcare in Auburn.

Last month, Ethel was honored as the oldest woman at “Old Settler’s Day” during the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair.

When Ethel rode in the parade on the final day of the fair, she thought the event was for her, said her sister, Jo. Burt Dickman, a member at her church, the Auburn Church of Christ, drove Ethel through SEE 107 YEARS, PAGE A6

Congress continues political maneuvering

Giffords to attend New York gun show ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived an assassination attempt in 2011, is set to tour a New York gun show, the first such visit since she was shot.

Giffords and husband Mark Kelly, a former combat pilot and astronaut, are scheduled to be with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman at the Saratoga Springs Arms Fair on Sunday to highlight a voluntary agreement to monitor gun show sales and stricter state gun control law.

It will be latest event

by Giffords and Kelly in their national campaign for expanded background checks for gun sales.

A state law enacted earlier this year with a push by Gov. Andrew Cuomo expanded a ban on military-style weapons, requires mental health professionals to report threats, limits magazines to seven bullets, taxes bullets and creates a registry to keep guns out of the wrong hands.

It was approved a month after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre.

on Seventh Street stretched to capacity, Lyne said the congregation needed to do something.

Dayspring purchased the land on North Indiana Avenue nearly eight years ago, but waited to start building until the summer of 2012.

Lyne said he and leaders of the church felt it was best to wait.

“We didn’t want to put the church into debt,” Lyne said.

Dayspring started in 1929 as Auburn Missionary Church. Lyne came to the church in 1988 and has served as pastor for the past 25 years. Before that, he and his wife, Susan, served as missionaries in Ecuador for 10 years.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans and Democrats in Congress lumbered through a day of political maneuvering Saturday while a threatened default by the Treasury crept uncomfortably closer and a partial government shutdown neared the end of its second week.

“We haven’t done anything yet” by way of compromise, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said after Senate leaders took control of efforts to end the impasse, although he and other Democrats said repeatedly there was reason for optimism.

Across the Capitol, tea party caucus Republican Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana, said there was “definitely a chance that we’re going to go past the deadline” that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has set for Congress to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit.

Lawmakers in both parties said they were watching for the reaction to the political uncertainty by the financial markets when they reopen after the weekend.

Church celebrates new home

BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — A new home for Dayspring Community Church does not change the vision of its people.

“We want Dayspring to be a place where people with hurts and mistakes can come and not feel judged or second class,” said Dayspring lead pastor Bill Lyne.

The church celebrated the grand opening of its new facility at the northwest corner of North Indiana Avenue and Betz Road on the weekend of Sept. 28-29.

The two-story building has a modern look with a large, open lobby and separate classrooms

for elementary, middle and high school students. It also has more space for parking, ministry and auditorium seating than the previous site on East Seventh Street.

Standing inside the new auditorium, Lyne said he reminds parishioners that the church is not the building, it’s the people.

“The message doesn’t begin when I speak,” Lyne said. “It begins when they get on the grounds or when they get into the lobby. It begins wherever they are.”

The vision for a new building began more than a decade ago.

Willennar Genealogy Center preserving historian’s treasures

BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — Guests at an open house Saturday saw the early stages of a five-year project to digitize artifacts collected by the late DeKalb County historian John Martin Smith.

The Willennar Genealogy Center showed visitors its process of preserving Smith’s collection of DeKalb County postcards, about 3,500 in all.

Smith’s son, Auburn attorney Thompson Smith, spoke at the event.

He said the postcard collection is “just a scratch in the surface” of his father’s entire collection that includes books, photographs, papers and memorabilia.

“I certainly feel my parents with us today,” Smith said. John Martin Smith and his wife, Barbara, died in an automobile crash in 2011. Mr. Smith had begun discussing the preservation of his collection with Janelle Graber, director of Eckhart Public Library,

Finnish reunion

Dead loved ones’ voices fall victim to technology

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — You might say Kevin and Knitta Carter of Albion reconnected to their “Finnish” line this summer.

Over the course of nine years, the Carters hosted four members of the same family as summer exchange students. In the process, the Carters became the students’ American parents, Knitta said, adding, “We consider them our European children.”

This summer’s visit not only let the Carters reconnect with their European kids, but also gave them the opportunity to meet the children’s parents and tour through their native Finland.

The Carters first took in Matti Vayrynen as a Lions Club exchange student in 2003, Knitta said.

“We thought it would be a good experience for our children,” she said. Matti was about the same age as the Carter’s son at the time.

They picked Matti because he was from Finland, Knitta said, adding, “You never hear of anybody coming from Finland.”

They had a wonderful time when Matti was with them, Knitta said. Shortly after he returned home, they heard from his parents, thanking them for taking such good care of their son.

When the Vayrynens’ other children wanted to become summer exchange students, the Vayrynens asked if the Carters would be willing to host each of them. The Carters agreed and hosted first Matti’s sister, Silja, in approximately 2005, then his brother, Miika, in 2008 and his sister, Sara, in 2011.

As the relationship between the families grew, the Carters had never met the children’s parents.

Knitta said the parents, Jukka and Tuula Vayrynen, offered to help them make the trip to Finland this summer.

The Carters left May 29 on a 12-day trip with 10 days in Finland and two travel days, Knitta said. They initially landed in Sweden, then flew to Helsinki, Finland, where Matti, now 27, and his wife, Rikki, greeted them with a surprise.

Group home’s closure raises emotions CROWN POINT (AP) — Louise Anderson was calling her 27-year-old grandson one Wednesday earlier this month when she found out he was being moved out of his Arc of Northwest Indiana group home in Crown Point the next day.

“No one had contacted us,” Anderson told the Post-Tribune. “The woman who answered the phone didn’t know where he was being moved, and we were finally told he was moving to Indianapolis shortly before 9 a.m. on Thursday.”

A total of 22 supervised living group homes operated by The Arc of Northwest Indiana — homes which served 90 disabled clients — were shut down by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration on Oct. 3, due to health and safety issues. From errors in dispensing medication to difficulty in preventing bed sores, many of the issues stemmed from maintaining an adequate nursing staff.

The FSSA made the decision in late September, so not much time was available to set up alternate living arrangements.

Since then, Anderson has been in contact with local service providers, including TradeWinds, but she wishes there had been more of an effort made to place residents locally.

Caraveo, one of 13 people killed during the Fort Hood shootings in Texas in 2009.

She said she had paid to keep the phone so she could continue to hear her husband’s voice and so her son, John Paul, who was 2 at the time of the shooting, could someday know his father’s voice.

“Now he will never hear his dad’s voice,” she said.

Jennifer Colandrea of Beacon, N.Y., complained to the Federal Communication Commission after she lost more than a half dozen voice mails from her dead mother while inquiring about a change to her Verizon plan. Those included a message congratulating her daughter on giving birth to a baby girl and some funny messages she had saved for more than four years for sentimental reasons.

“She did not like being videotaped. She did not like being photographed,” Colandrea said of her mother. “I have very little to hold onto.

“My daughter will never hear her voice now.”

Transferring voice mails from cellphones to computers can be done but is often a complicated process that requires special software or more advanced computer skills.

People often assume the voice mail lives on the phone when in fact it lives in the carrier’s server. Verizon Wireless spokesman Paul Macchia said the company has a deal with CBW Productions that allows customers to save greetings or voice mails to CD, cassette, or MP3.

Many of those who’ve lost access to loved ones’ greetings never tried to transfer the messages because they were assured they would continue to exist so long as the accounts were current.

Others have fallen victim to carrier policies that delete messages after 30 days unless they’re saved again.

Art Eberhardt gave a large donation to make the purchase of Marion’s Woods off Calvary Lane possible.

The ACRES Land Trust Preserve opened this year.

Angola man earns statewide forestry award ANGOLA — The Indiana Urban Forest Council chose Art Eberhardt of Angola as the recipient of its 2013 Outstanding Individual Award.

Eberhardt has served around 15 years on the Angola Tree Board and more than 40 years on the McClue Nature Reserve Board and ACRES Land Trust board of directors.

He also is on the board for the Stockbridge Audobon Society. He and his late wife, Marion, helped organize the annual Adopt-A-Tree Festival at Wing Haven Nature Preserve.

Eberhardt made a large donation toward the purchase of the last parcel of untouched forest in the Angola city limits.

It is called Marion’s Woods in honor of his wife and is protected by ACRES Land Trust.

Auto parts maker moving to Howe HOWE — After sitting vacant for more than year, the former Multi-Plex plant just north of Howe will come alive as a Michigan auto parts firms moves two operations into the LaGrange County complex of buildings. “This might be the biggest news in local economic development in the last 10 or 12 years,� said Jac Price, LaGrange County businessman and president of the Board of Commissioners.

Exo-s, a supplier of injection-molded and blow-molded thermoplastic systems for automotive and specialty markets, announced Wednesday it will move its manufacturing operations in Three Rivers, Mich., and machine and tool shop in Centerville, Mich., to the former Multi-Plex site.

The Canadian-based company expects to complete the move in 2014 and to increase its workforce by 20 percent over the next 18 months. An Exo-s official said a new, multi-million dollar contract with John Deere means the company’s anticipated payroll of 250 workers at the Howe facility is now expected to increase, possibly reaching 450 workers.

Tourism brings $149 million to county LAKE JAMES — Steuben County realized more than $149 million in spending by visitors in 2012, says the most recent data available to the Steuben County Tourism Bureau.

Tourism generates an estimated $43 million in direct wages and salaries, the report said. Tourism employment totals 2,642 jobs.

Downtown Garrett movie theater reopens GARRETT — The Silver Screen Cinema in downtown Garrett reopened this weekend after being dark for nearly a year.

Owner Bruce Babbitt said he plans to keep the theater open until film versions of movies no longer are available.

He anticipated distributors will stop offering 35 mm prints after the first of the year. “The theater will be open on weekends only unless we are contractually obligated to run full-time,� he said.

He said ticket prices should be close to what was charged when the theater closed last year.

Babbitt also operates the Strand theater in Kendallville and the Auburn-Garrett Drive-in.

NIPSCO forecasts stable heating bills MERRILLVILLE — NIPSCO said Tuesday that with normal winter temperatures, its customers’ heating bills will be approximately 1 percent higher than last winter’s bills — and some of the lowest bills in the last decade.

Over the course of the five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average residential customers using a total of 624 therms of natural gas could expect to pay approximately $437. That compares to $433 for a customer using the same amount of gas during last winter.

NIPSCO’s projections take into market forecasts, supply trends and storage levels, among other considerations.

NIPSCO said has among the lowest residential gas bills in Indiana, according to comparisons released monthly by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.

The utility said actual bills will vary by customer depending on a home’s age and size, the number in the household, number and age of gas appliances, thermostat settings and insulation levels.

Satek Winery owner Larry Satek monitors grapes in the initial phase of crushing at the Fremont winery on

Fruitful harvest

BY LINDA LIPP llipp@kpcmedia.com

There’s a reason Indiana is better known for its corn and soybean crops than for grapes.

The Hoosier climate is unpredictable, with the weather capable of varying dramatically from one part of the state to another and from one growing season to the next. It’s hard to find grapes that will do well here no matter what Mother Nature dishes out. “We’re still learning in Indiana, especially in our region, what grows best,� said Shane Christ, who has been the winemaker at Satek Winery near Fremont for 11 years. “All of them are challenging in Indiana.� “Every year is completely different,� agreed Kevin Geeting, winemaker at Country Heritage Winery & Vineyard in LaOtto.

Satek is the granddaddy of northeast Indiana wineries. It began in 1992 as a commercial vineyard producing grapes for other winemakers, and opened its own winery in 2001. For a long time, Satek and Stoney Ridge Winery, a few miles across the Ohio line in Williams County, were the only commercial wine makers in the area.

In the last few years, Country Heritage, Briali Vineyards in Fremont and Two EE’s Winery in Roanoke all have taken on the challenge of growing grapes and making wine in northeast Indiana, and this part of the state is now home to enough wineries that tourists can follow a “wine trail� from one to another. “We’ve seen a tremendous amount of growth in the viticulture, grape growing, in the area,� Christ said. “That’s something that we welcome.

We have worked very hard to collaborate, to develop relationships with growers and with new wineries.�

are susceptible to heat and drought. This year offered a little of everything: a spring that was cool and wet; a couple months of summer that were relatively mild, with moderate moisture; and weather that turned hot and dry as August progressed.

As a result, “We had a lot of good development in the sugars, but we’re also having good acids. The dry, almost drought, at the end helped concentrate the flavors as well,� Christ said. “Traminette and Vignoles should come in great this year,� agreed Bruce Bordelon, a member of Purdue University’s wine grape team. “They’ve enjoyed perfect conditions and should develop really interesting flavor and aroma compounds.�

White wines produced with this year’s crop should be ready by spring. The reds will be aged in oak for eight months to a year before they are bottled, Geeting said.

Of course, the true test comes only with the taste, and the winemaker’s burden is to sample the wines as they develop, Christ joked. Satek’s wines won two trophies, three double gold medals and 22 medals overall at the 2013 Indy wine competition — a sign its resident winemaker’s judgment and techniques are sound — but Christ doesn’t depend on that.

that makes scared bird noises that spook the real flocks of birds away. “You can’t just plant grapes and turn your back on them,� Moeller said.

Briali and Country Heritage both use netting to protect the ripening grapes from becoming bird food before they can be harvested. “The birds were really bad this year,� Geeting said.

Without the netting it used, the winery could have lost 50 percent of the crop, he estimated.

Of course, with wine, quality is as important as quantity. Country Heritage was able to harvest some grapes last year, and the Traminette it produced was chosen as Indiana’s Traminette of the year at the 2013 Indy International Wine Competition. “I knew the grapes were good when I saw them,�

Geeting said.

Traminette was developed specifically for Indiana, so it is a favorite of area growers. Geeting is also a big fan of Vignole, which he calls “the little variety in the shadows waiting to break out;� and Cayuga White, a hardy, disease-resistant grape developed in New York. “It’s the poor man’s Riesling,� Geeting said.

Satek has crushed between 30 and 40 tons of grapes this year. Even at the lower end of that amount, that is enough to produce 140,000 bottles of wine, Christ calculated.

Like many other Indiana wineries, Satek uses both grapes it grows in its own vineyards and grapes it buys from other suppliers. “We bring in very little, mostly the Merlots and Cabs that don’t grow well here,�

Christ said.

This marked the eighth growing season for Brian and Alicia Moeller, but only the first full year for their Briali Winery, which opened at the Country Meadows golf course in Fremont last November.

The pair went to college in California and lived in the heart of wine country. They brought that passion back to Indiana with them and started growing their own grapes. “We really had only intended on making some home brew, and it just escalated,� Alicia Moeller said.

With about six acres cultivated and 3,500 vines, Briali is now the largest vineyard in Steuben County.

What sets Briali aside from many others is that it grows its grapes organically, without the fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides that typically are used to promote and protect the vulnerable crops. “We’ve been told we’re crazy,� Moeller admitted, “and we say yes, but in a good way.�

Briali, for example, uses compost to fertilize and enrich the soil, sprayed-on milk as a natural way to combat fungus and a solar-powered sound system

Migrant tragedies sharpen calls for safe passage

AP

Indian people watch high tide waves as they stand at the Bay of Bengal coast in

Vishakhapatnam, India, Saturday.

Wind, rain pound India BEHRAMPUR, India (AP) — A massive, powerful cyclone packing heavy rains and destructive winds slammed into India’s eastern coastline Saturday evening, as hundreds of thousands of residents moved inland to shelters in hopes of riding out the dangerous storm.

Roads were all but empty as high waves lashed the coastline of Orissa state, which will bear the brunt of Cyclone Phailin. By midafternoon, wind gusts were so strong that they could blow over grown men. Seawater pushed inland, swamping villages where many people survive as subsistence farmers in mud and thatch huts.

As the cyclone swept across the Bay of Bengal toward the Indian coast, satellite images showed its spinning tails covering an area larger than France.

Images appeared to show the storm making landfall early Saturday night near Gopalpur.

With some of the world’s warmest waters, the Indian Ocean is considered a cyclone hot spot, and some of the deadliest storms in

recent history have come through the Bay of Bengal, including a 1999 cyclone that also hit Orissa and killed 10,000 people.

Officials said early reports of deaths from Phailin won’t become clear until after daybreak Sunday.

In Behrampur, a town about 10 kilometers (7 miles) inland from where the eye of the storm hit, the sky blackened quickly around the time of landfall, with heavy winds and rains pelting the empty streets.

Window panes shook and shattered against the wind.

Outside, objects could be heard smashing into walls.

“My parents have been calling me regularly … they are worried,” said Hemant Pati, 27, who was holed up in a Behrampur hotel with 15 other people from the coastal town hit first by the storm.

The hotel manager said he would bar the doors against anyone trying to enter, saying there would be food, water and electricity from generators only for guests of the Hotel Jyoti Residency. “Nobody can come inside, and nobody can go out,” Shaik

Nisaruddin said.

Estimates of the storm’s power had dropped slightly, with the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Hawaii showing maximum sustained winds of about 222 kilometers per hour (138 miles per hour), with gusts up to 268 kph (167 mph).

The storm, though, remained exceedingly strong and dangerous. A few hours before it hit land, the eye of the storm collapsed, spreading the hurricane force winds out over a larger area and giving it a “bigger damage footprint,” said Jeff Masters, meteorology director at the U.S.-based private Weather Underground.

“It’s probably a bad thing it was doing this when it made landfall. Much of the housing in India is unable to withstand even a much weaker hurricane,” Masters said.

He also said coasts would not be alone in suffering heavy damage. “This is a remarkably strong storm.

It’s going to carry hurricaneforce winds inland for about 12 hours, which is quite unusual,” Masters said.

Halt of US aid to Egypt to have little real impact WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. decision to suspend delivery of tanks, helicopters and fighter jets to Egypt is more of a symbolic slap than a punishing wound to the military-backed government for its slog toward a return to democratic rule.

Egypt is awash in the tanks and planes it would need to fight a conventional war, and spare parts from U.S. manufacturers will continue to be delivered.

The Obama administration’s announcement Wednesday did sound a warning that it no longer can be “business as usual” with Cairo, as President Barack Obama put, after the July 3 military coup that ousted Mohammed Morsi, the country’s first democratically elected president, and led to the deaths of hundreds in police crackdowns on demonstrators.

In the short run, the suspension of hundreds of millions of dollars in aid will have little effect on Egypt’s military and its ability to defend itself. The cutoff probably will not do much damage to most of the companies with contracts to build such weapons The State Department did not say how much of the $1.5 billion in annual military and economic aid to Egypt was affected. It held up the delivery of Apache helicopters, F-16 fighter jets, M1A1 Abrams tank kits, which are put together in Egyptian factories, and Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

The U.S. also is withholding $260 million in cash assistance to the government until “credible progress” is made toward an inclusive government set up through free and fair elections.

The U.S. will keep

providing support for health and education and counterterrorism; spare military parts; military training and education; and border security and security assistance in the Sinai Peninsula. Near-daily attacks against security forces and soldiers in the Sinai have increasingly resembled a full-fledged insurgency.

“If they really wanted to hurt Egypt, the U.S. would suspend maintenance and logistic support,” said Robert Springborg, an expert on the Egyptian military at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif.

Shana Marshall of the Institute for Middle East Studies at George Washington University, said the Egyptians are “almost saturated with Abrams tanks. They are literally sitting in warehouses.”

Food stamp cards not working in many states

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

People in Ohio, Michigan and 15 other states found themselves unable to use their food stamp debit-style cards on Saturday, after a routine test of backup systems by vendor Xerox Corp. resulted in a system failure.

“While the electronic benefits system is now up and running, beneficiaries in the 17 affected states continue to experience connectivity issues to access their benefits.

Technical staff is addressing the issue and expect the system to be restored soon,” Xerox spokeswoman Jennifer Wasmer said in an emailed

statement. “Beneficiaries requiring access to their benefits can work with their local retailers who can activate an emergency voucher system where available. We appreciate our clients’ patience while we work through this outage as quickly as possible.”

U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Courtney Rowe underscored that the outage is not related to the government shutdown.

Shoppers left carts of groceries behind at a packed Market Basket grocery store in Biddeford, Maine, because they couldn’t get their

benefits, said fellow shopper Barbara Colman, of Saco, Maine. The manager put up a sign saying the EBT system was not in use. Colman, who receives the benefits, called an 800 telephone line for the program and it said the system was down due to maintenance, she said.

“That’s a problem. There are a lot of families who are not going to be able to feed children because the system is being maintenanced,” Colman said. She planned to reach out to local officials.

“You don’t want children going hungry tonight because of stupidity,” she said.

VALLETTA, Malta (AP) — Three deadly Mediterranean shipwrecks that claimed the lives of hundreds of would-be asylum-seekers fleeing war and repression sharpened calls Saturday for humanitarian corridors to allow safe passage to Europe.

At least 34 people drowned in Maltese waters south of the Italian island of Lampedusa when a boat packed with hundreds of Syrians and Palestinians capsized on Friday, the same day another 12 migrants died in a shipwreck off of Egypt.

Those tragedies came just eight days after at least 339 Eritreans died when their boat sank within sight of Lampedusa, in one of the worst verified migrant sea tragedies on the Mediterranean.

Facing unrest and persecution in Africa

and the Middle East, many migrants risk the often perilous journey to Lampedusa, a gateway to Europe just 70 miles (113 kilometers) from Africa, in rickety boats procured by people smugglers who charge more than 1,600 euros ($2,200).

Most are asylum seekers, fleeing civil war in Syria or repression and mandatory conscription in Eritrea, unlike the waves of economic migrants a decade ago.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres expressed concern that Syrians fleeing conflict have sought to reach Europe by such a perilous route, calling it “inhumane.”

“They escaped bullets and bombs only to perish before they could ever claim asylum,” he said, adding that there had been reports that the vessel had

been fired on shortly after departing Zwara, Libya.

U.N. Secretary General Ban-Ki-moon called for action to prevent future tragedies “that places the vulnerability and human rights of migrants at the center,” while Pope Francis lamented that “too often we are blinded by our comfortable lives, and refuse to see those dying at our doorstep.”

The boat in Maltese waters capsized afternoon about 65 miles (105 kilometers) southeast of Lampedusa, in waters where Malta has search and rescue responsibilities.

A joint Italian-Malta operation rescued nearly 200 people after the Italian Coast Guard received a distress call via satellite phone from the boat and a Maltese aircraft sighted the capsized boat with numerous people in the water.

107 YEARS: Ethel part of walking club at age 95 FROM PAGE A1

DAVE KURTZ

Family members of the late John Martin Smith and his wife, Bobbie Smith, look at a photo of the couple in a 1970 newspaper clipping. It was among the artifacts on display Saturday at an open house in the Willennar Genealogy Center of Auburn.

From left are Kendyl Smith, Jama Smith, Katie Smith and Thompson Smith.

Grandson Conner Smith is in the background.

HISTORIAN: Smith collected artifacts at auctions FROM PAGE A1

and lamented that no one had written a newer volume.

“My Dad decided right then that someday he was going to write that history of DeKalb County,” Smith said. His father published the

massive, three-volume book in 1987 for the county’s 150th birthday.

Smith said his father realized, “the time to collect history is now” and snapped up valuable artifacts over the decades.

“If there was an auction, that was where Dad was going to be,” he said. “If it related to DeKalb County history, you’d have to have a lot of money to outbid Dad. Later, that translated to eBay.”

the parade route in a 1936 Auburn. A banner on the side of the car displayed Ethel’s name.

“She wanted to know what they were cheering for,” Jo said. After learning it was a parade, Ethel waved to the crowd.

“She really enjoyed the parade,” Jo said.

Ethel was born Oct. 10, 1906, in Barboursville, W.Va., the oldest of 10 children. Jo, 89, was the youngest in the family. They are the two last remaining members.

At the age of 4, Ethel’s family traveled to New Mexico in a covered wagon, as her father looked for work. When her father did not find work, the family returned to West Virginia, where he found a job.

In school, Ethel learned to play the piano. She spent much of her time entertaining her family and playing for church revivals.

“When relatives visited, Ethel played all afternoon until it was time for church again,” Jo said. “I miss hearing her play.”

In 1937, Ethel started working at an Ohio dress factory. According to her sister, Ethel was a great

seamstress and enjoyed a love of fashion.

“She’s been stylish all her life,” Jo said.

Years later, Ethel started working for Jo at the H.L. Green Store in Huntington, W.Va. People at the store called her the “little piece-goods lady.” She retired from the store.

Ethel moved to Crawfordsville after her mother died in 1970. Yet, Ethel was not content to sit around, Jo said. She decided to “unretire” and began working for her sister again.

Jo worked for Newberry, a five-and-dime department store. Jo was given management of an Auburn store, and the two moved to the city.

“We’ve done everything together for about all of our lives,” Jo said.

In 1980, the sisters moved to Michigan, where Jo was given management of another Newberry store.

It was in Michigan that Ethel’s world-class travels began. Jo received travel incentives through work and thought Ethel would love the opportunity to travel. In one year, the sisters visited 10 countries.

After their stint in Michigan, the two retired in

1990 and decided to move back to Auburn.

“It’s a place that even a stranger feels welcome,” Jo said about Auburn.

The secret to staying young, Jo said, is surrounding “yourself with youth.” She and her sister spent many years baby-sitting children. They often baby-sat their preacher’s children, and for 11 1/2 years they took care of twins.

At age 95, Ethel was still a member of a walking club and received special recognition for being the oldest walker in the area.

Jo visits her sister nearly every day at Wesley Healthcare. They often reminisce about all the people they have known and loved over the many years, wondering where they are now.

Ethel’s son, Edward Elonzo Chapman, 85, lives in Huntington, W.Va. He was able to visit his mother this week before heading back home to continue his volunteer work at a veterans hospital.

Jo said her sister is looking forward to today’s celebration.

“Ethel loves parties,” Jo said.

DEFAULT: Nation’s debt ceiling is at $16.7 trillion FROM PAGE A1

concessions isn’t how our democracy works, and we have to stop it,” he said in his weekly radio and Internet address.

Ironically, though, House Republicans who triggered the shutdown with tea party-driven demands to eradicate Obama’s health law conceded that they had temporarily been reduced to virtual bystander status.

“The Senate needs to hold tough,” Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., quoted Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, as telling the GOP rank and file in a private meeting. “The president now isn’t negotiating with us.”

One day after talks between the White House and House Republicans fizzled, the focus turned to the Senate.

There, a meeting of Reid, GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and two other lawmakers produced no immediate sign of progress.

The president’s party rejected a stab at compromise led by GOP Maine Sen. Susan Collins, while Republicans blocked the advance of a no-strings attached measure the Democrats drafted to let the Treasury resume normal borrowing. The party line vote was 53-45, seven short of the 60 required.

In disagreement was a pair of issues, both important and also emblematic of a broader, unyielding dispute between the political parties over spending, taxes and deficits.

Lew has said that without legislation to raise the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt limit, default was possible any day, and with it, a calamitous impact on the economy.

A separate measure was needed to reopen the government fully after 12 days of a partial shutdown that has resulted in furloughs for 350,000 federal workers and that administration officials warn could spread hardship if it remains in effect.

Politicians agreed passage of both was essential.

But Republicans demanded concessions that Democrats were unwilling to give — unless they could get something in return.

Officials in both parties

Coats votes against raising debt ceiling WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., voted Saturday against legislation to increase the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt ceiling for one year without any commitment to spending reductions or structural reforms.

“Allowing debt to continue accumulating unchecked on our nation’s credit card ignores the reality of America’s dire financial state,” Coats said in a news release.

“With our national debt currently sitting at over $16.7 trillion dollars and the federal government borrowing $40,000 per second, we cannot afford another short-term Band-Aid. Any increase in the debt limit must be said that Reid had raised the possibility with Republicans of a long-term spending bill that included deficit savings that could replace some or all of the acrossthe-board spending cuts that began taking effect at the beginning of the year.

The political calculations were evident. Polls show all portions of the electorate except tea party supporters are increasingly displeased, and Republicans are bearing the brunt of their unhappiness.

“Perhaps he sees this as the best opportunity for him to win the House in 2014,” Fleming said of the president. “It’s very clear to us he does not now, and never had, any intentions of negotiating.”

Reid was savage.

Republicans had begun seeking concessions on health care, he said, and now their No. 1 issue is “to divert attention from the fools they’ve made of

tied to substantive reforms that address the drivers of our debt.”

Friday in a speech on the Senate floor, Coats called on Congress to work together on a large-scale budget agreement.

“I stand with those who simply say: I want to find a solution to the larger problem, including the shutdown of the government,” Coats said Friday. “I am focusing my efforts on the debt limit because it is very hard to ask the American people for yet another trillion dollars of debt without some effort to address why this debt is being accumulated. Why has the Congress not stepped up to address this spending?” themselves on Obamacare.”

In his Saturday address, Obama said, “Politics is a battle of ideas, but you advance those ideas through elections and legislation — not extortion.”

Collins suggested compromise had gained traction in recent days, before Reid told McConnell it was a nonstarter.

It could have raised the debt limit through Jan. 31 and reopened the government for six months.

At the same time, it would have granted federal agencies flexibility in adjusting to the across the board cuts, and made two changes in the health care law.

One would have set new income verification conditions on individuals applying for federal subsidies for coverage; the other would have suspended a medical device tax for two years.

Peru bus plunge kills 51 LIMA, Peru (AP) — A makeshift bus carrying 51 Quechua Indians back from a party in southeastern Peru plunged off a cliff into a river, killing everyone on board, including 14 children.

The accident occurred Friday night as the red-andyellow cargo truck made its way back from a party in the provincial capital of

Santa Teresa, an area about 310 miles (500 kilometers) southeast of Lima. It went off the road and fell about 650 feet (200 meters) into a deep ravine, ending up in the Chaupimayo river below.

Rescuers equipped with little more than flashlights spent the night searching without success for survivors amid the twisted

steel and large boulders, pulling bodies from the water. Authorities said bodies were found as far as 330 feet (100 meters) away from the impact site, suggesting they were thrown from the vehicle.

“We haven’t found a single survivor,” said firefighter Capt. David Taboada, who was leading the rescue operation.

The new facility for Dayspring Community Church is at 2305 N. Indiana Avenue on the northwest corner of Indiana and Betz roads. The church broke ground in the summer of 2012 and celebrated its grand opening two weekends ago.

CHURCH: Attendance averages nearly 800 people FROM PAGE A1

Early in his ministry, Lyne said he felt the church needed to shift its focus.

He considered Auburn Missionary a “good, traditional church,” but he realized that the church was only “reaching people from other churches.”

The church changed its name to Dayspring, a named used for Jesus in the Bible, and changed the tone of its services.

Lyne uses a conversational speaking style, and the music is upbeat and contemporary.

“It’s a pretty high-energy service,” Lyne said. “It’s

louder than most churches.”

In 1999, Lyne wrote in his journal, “Today, I asked God that, whatever it takes, he would make Dayspring the kind of church where lives are being transformed every week, where people far from God are finding him.”

The message of “whatever it takes” has became the vision for how the church reaches people.

“Churches have to be different — it doesn’t have to be compromising,” Lyne said.

“Bringing people to the kingdom of God is the most important thing,” Lyne said.

“We hope we can be the church that the unchurched find irresistible.”

Ministries at the church provide guidance on building stronger marriages and raising children, Lyne said.

“We want to make a dent in the divorce rate of DeKalb County,” he said.

During its weekend gatherings, the church averages nearly 800 people and has gatherings for children and youth.

Dayspring meets Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. To learn more, visit dayspringchurch.com.

US reaches partial Afghan security deal KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday said a partial agreement was reached with Afghanistan on a security accord, but the potentially deal-breaking issue of jurisdiction for American forces remains unresolved.

Kerry spoke with President Hamid Karzai after a marathon series of meetings and repeated delays of his departure from Afghanistan.

Both men said agreement had been reached on a series of contentious sovereignty issues and the safety of Afghan citizens at the hands of American and allied troops that had deadlocked talks in the past year.

But Karzai said he would punt the issue of who has who jurisdiction for any crimes committed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 2014 to a national consultative assembly of tribal elders, or Loya Jirga, that he has asked to be convened within a month. Their opinion on whether to approve or disapprove an American demand that its forces be remanded to U.S. military courts would then be sent to the Afghan parliament.

“We have reached an

agreement on the respect of national sovereignty, preventing civilian casualties, a definition for aggression and also the prevention of unilateral acts by foreign forces. We reached an agreement on that, but the issue of jurisdiction for foreign forces is above the authority of the Afghan government and that is up to the Afghan people and the Loya Jirga,” Karzai said.

Kerry responded that any decision made by the Loya Jirga and parliament would be respected, but if the jurisdiction issue was not resolved there would be no agreement.

In Iraq, a similar deal fell apart after U.S. officials were unable to reach an agreement with the Iraqis on the same issue that would have allowed a small training and counterterrorism force to remain there. The United States completely pulled out of Iraq after the deal collapsed.

The jurisdiction issue came to the fore after an American soldier, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, killed 16 people in two villages in southern Afghanistan last year. He was convicted in August by a military court

and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of release.

Kerry explained that the issue should not be equated with immunity, as it is perceived by many Afghans. He said the United States would prosecute any wrongdoing and that similar agreements existed with many countries, like Japan and South Korea.

Kerry began negotiations with Karzai in the morning, the second day of talks after he arrived late Friday. He left shortly after the last meeting, headed for Europe and the United States.

Discussions had repeatedly stalled in recent weeks 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.

The situation deteriorated in the past week following a series of angry comments from Karzai that the United States and NATO were repeatedly violating Afghanistan’s sovereignty and inflicting suffering on its people.

Groups criticize NC officer arrest in man’s death CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Hours after a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer fatally shot an unarmed man, the department made a rare move: It charged the officer with voluntary manslaughter.

Most police departments, including Charlotte, usually take weeks — sometimes months — to complete an investigation of a police shooting. But the decision to quickly charge Randall Kerrick is now drawing sharp criticism from police groups and being followed closely by law enforcement departments across the country.

Critics call the department’s move a rush to judgment and say it will have a chilling effect on officers in the field.

“What it does is it shakes their confidence because, like it or not, most cops like

to think their department has their back,” Randy Hagler, president of the North Carolina Fraternal Order of Police, told The Associated Press.

“That’s not to say the department is going to cover anything up.

They just want the department Ferrell to give them a fair shake.

That’s all we ask for. And officers in our community don’t necessarily all feel that way.”

Ken Trelka, police chief in Waterloo, Iowa, said he’s been following the case and warned that filing charges quickly could put officers at risk.

“My concern is we’re going to have an officer —

any officer someplace in the country — hesitate when they are justified in taking action and lose their life,” he said.

Police shootings are generally high-profile stories in local communities. And when race is involved they often attract national attention. In Charlotte, the officer charged in the shooting is white; Jonathan Ferrell, the man who was shot and a former Florida A&M football player, is black.

Ferrell’s encounter with police was set in motion at 2:30 a.m. Sept. 14, when his car ran off the entrance road to a suburban neighborhood about 15 miles from downtown Charlotte. After crashing his car into trees, Ferrell kicked out the back window and headed up a hill to the first cluster of houses he could see.

Mortar shells hit near inspectors’ hotel in Syria BEIRUT (AP) — Two mortar shells hit Syria’s capital Saturday near a hotel where international chemical weapons inspectors and United Nations staff are staying, state media and a hotel guest said.

In the north, clashes between rival rebel factions left nearly 50 gunmen dead in three days of fighting for control of neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo, an activist group said.

An 8-year-old girl was killed and 11 people were hurt in the blasts in the upscale Abu Roumaneh area of Damascus, the SANA news agency said.

One shell fell near a school and the other on the roof of

a building.

The girl was in her family car near the school when she was killed, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britainbased activist group monitoring the fighting.

The blasts damaged several cars and shattered nearby windows. One resident was seen sweeping debris on a sidewalk, near where twisted metal pieces from the wreckage had been heaped in a small pile.

The blasts struck some 300 meters (1,000 feet) away from the Four Seasons Hotel where the chemical weapons inspectors and U.N. staff are staying. A U.N. employee staying there

said it did not appear that the hotel was affected by the twin explosions.

The hotel remained open after the blasts, he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

He said he heard the first explosion at about 11:15 a.m., followed by a second. Thick smoke rose from the area and ambulance sirens sounded shortly afterward.

Syrian rebels routinely fire mortar shells from the outskirts of Damascus at city neighborhoods controlled by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad.

Last week, a similar attack reportedly killed eight people.

Police said Ferrell knocked on a door seeking help. The woman inside called 911, thinking he was trying to break into her home.

Kerrick and two other officers responded to the call.

They found Ferrell on a road that leads only to Kerrick the neighborhood’s pool.

Ferrell ran toward the officers, who tried to stop him with a Taser. Police said he continued to run toward them and Kerrick fired 12 shots, hitting Ferrell with all but two. Ferrell died at the scene.

At first, Kerrick — who has been with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police since April 2011 —

and the two other officers at the scene were placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation probe into the shooting.

But later that day, Kerrick, 27, was charged with voluntary manslaughter and released on $50,000 bond.

Police Chief Rodney Monroe said that while Ferrell did advance on Kerrick, the shooting was excessive. Monroe said the department’s investigation showed the officer didn’t have a lawful right to discharge his weapon during this encounter.

Kerrick’s attorneys said the shooting was justified because Ferrell didn’t obey verbal commands to stop.

But the attorney for Ferrell’s family said the shots were fired in such close proximity that they never gave Ferrell

a chance to respond.

Civil rights leader have praised the police for quickly filing charges.

Ferrell’s family said the 24-year-old moved to Charlotte about a year ago to be with his fiancee and was working two jobs.

He wanted to go back to school to be an automotive engineer, they said. He had no criminal record.

The North Carolina attorney general’s office is handling the case.

Experts say it usually takes weeks or longer for agencies to complete investigations into a police shooting and decide whether to file charges. Investigators usually give officers involved time before interviewing them at length so they can decompress and process information.

But that didn’t happen with Kerrick.

Officials focus on global economy WASHINGTON (AP) — World finance officials pledged on Saturday to deal with new risks to the global recovery while they kept up pressure on the United States to address the biggest threat of all — a market-rattling default on U.S. debt.

The International Monetary Fund’s policy committee said the United States needed to take “urgent action” to address the budget impasse that has blocked approval of legislation to increase the government’s borrowing limit before a fast-approaching Thursday deadline.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who shuttled between the global finance talks and negotiations with Congress over the debt ceiling, has warned that he will exhaust his borrowing authority Thursday and the government will face the prospect of defaulting on its debt unless Congress raises the current $16.7 trillion borrowing limit.

Across town from the global finance meetings Saturday, an effort at the Capitol to pass a one-year extension of the borrowing limit failed to get sufficient votes. But in a more hopeful sign, negotiations to end a partial government shutdown, now in its 12th day, and raise the debt ceiling began between Democratic and Republican Senate leaders.

Global finance officials were nervously monitoring those talks during their three days of discussions, held around the annual meetings of the 188-nation IMF and its sister lending agency, the World Bank.

“I think it is unthinkable that an agreement won’t be found,” Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, told reporters Saturday, expressing the hope that a resolution could be found soon.

“If this situation were to last a long time, it would be very negative for the U.S. economy and the world

economy and could certainly harm the recovery.”

Asked what might happen if the U.S. budget debate were not resolved for six months or more, Singapore Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the chairman of the IMF committee, said it would be harmful to the entire world because it would be a blow to the confidence that is needed for businesses to make investment decisions.

“If we don’t clear resolution of the U.S. debt issue, it is hard to see how that confidence will come back so it is a critical issue for all of us.”

Adopting language used Friday by the Group of 20 major economies, the IMF’s policy panel in its closing statement said, “The United States needs to take urgent action to address” the uncertainties created by the budget impasse.

The IMF panel called on emerging economies, which have been key in recent years to global growth, to undertake the reforms they need to better withstand the adjustments that will come as central banks such as the Federal Reserve begin the process of withdrawing the economic

support that has kept interest rates at ultralow levels.

Emerging market economies benefited from investment flows as investors poured money into those nations during the period when rates were low in the United States and other developing countries. But many of the developing nations have been rocked in the past few months as the investment flows reversed as investors rushed for the exits following the Fed’s signals in June that U.S. higher rates could be coming.

Countries such as India and Indonesia have been among the hardest hit as their currencies and stock prices tumbled.

In addition for the need for developing countries to improve their economic fundamentals to withstand the transition, the IMF called on the Fed and other major central banks to pursue interest-rate policies that are “carefully calibrated and clearly communicated.”

Critics have charged that the Fed has botched its communications strategy and left investors confused while Fed officials contend that the economy has not improved as expected, and because of that,

it delayed an expected initial reduction in bond purchases at the September meeting.

Now with the hit to the U.S. economy from the partial government shutdown and the uncertainty over the debt ceiling, many economists believe the Fed will not start trimming its $85 billion in monthly bond buys until next year after Vice Chair Janet Yellen, who was nominated this week to succeed Bernanke, takes over in February. Her nomination by President Barack Obama must win Senate approval.

Many economists believe that once the transition has been accomplished, the global economy should actually begin growing at better rates in part because less support from the Fed will mean the U.S. economy is doing better and serving as a market for foreign products.

“A while ago there was an excess of exuberance and now perhaps an excess of pessimism,” Alexandre Tombini, the head of Brazil’s central bank, told the International Monetary Fund’s policy-setting panel Saturday.

Lew told finance ministers that the United States understands the role it plays as “the anchor of the international financial system.” He assured the finance officials that the administration was doing all it could to reach a resolution with Congress to reopen the government and increase the borrowing limit.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, whose country currently holds the rotating chair of the G-20, told reporters that no emergency plans had been discussed by the group to deal with the potentially catastrophic impact on the global economy of a U.S. debt default.

“We trust the U.S. authorities will find a way out of this complex situation,” Siluanov said. Other finance leaders attending the meeting said they saw the risk of default as remote.

Are Your Low Thyroid Symptoms Getting Worse?

Not Sure Where To Turn?

Afraid You’ll Have To Live Like This Forever?

What you are about to read will annoy and aggravate you. It may even turn your stomach.

You see, THYROID CONDITIONS ARE REACHING EPIDEMIC LEVELS OF MISUNDERSTANDING AND MISTREATMENT IS RAMPANT. If you suffer from low thyroid and don’t know the information I’m about to reveal to you, you may be setting yourself up for a life of constant fatigue, tiredness, depression, lack of motivation and misery.

Most doctors have no clue when it comes to fully understanding thyroid conditions!

What’s that? You don’t believe me? These doctors are all trained and know what they are doing. But when it comes to complex thyroid issues they lack the knowledge and understanding to properly treat this horrible condition. Most of you haven’t improved a whole lot or you wouldn’t be reading this article.

I’ll actually tell you exactly what you’ve been going through.

I call it “The hypothyroid loop of crazy.”

First, you went to you practitioner, they guy who your HMO made you see because he’s on the list.

Anyway, you told him you had constant, unrelenting

fatigue, depression and lack of motivation…especially worse in the winter time, thinning of the hair, constipation, increased weight gain even with a lowcalorie diet and maybe constant or intermittent headaches. You can’t sleep at night and you’re exhausted all day.

You can’t even enjoy the simple things in life anymore, like playing with your children or grandchildren. Getting out of bed every day is an unbelievable challenge. Life has become unbearable.

Your GP does a 5 minute exam, does a few blood tests and places you on thyroid medication.

You do what he says and guess what? It doesn’t work, it actually gets worse.

So you go back, again and again and your GP gives you different drugs, trial and error style. This time maybe you’ll up the dosage hoping that throwing more at the problem will solve it.

After he’s exhausted his list of “wonder drugs” he tells you it’s all in your head and sends you to a psychiatrist for anti-depressant drugs.

They’ve put you through months, if not years of grueling tests and issued drugs with horrible side effects.

You’re scared, so you do what they tell you to do. We’ve heard

it hundreds of times.

Are all the drugs making things worse? Destroying your liver?

Destroying your stomach? Look, the truth is the doctors you are seeing are excellent, maybe not just for this condition. Drugs and surgery may not the answer.

Addressing the root cause is the answer. Pills will help mask the symptoms, but it won’t correct the problem. We hope this makes sense to you.

Well, we are here to tell you there is another choice. A sensible ALL NATURAL and safe SIX STEP PROGRAM that is giving low thyroid sufferers their LIVES BACK with MIRACULOUS results for many. Hi, we are Dr. David and Dr. Lucas Gafken. We are board-eligible chiropractic neurologists and WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS RESEARCHING THE FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGICAL AND NUTRITIONAL SOLUTION TO THYROID DISORDERS. What we have learned is that most health care providers do not have the background to properly treat the cause of low thyroid.

Barons win first sectional Oster’s goal in extra time propels DeKalb girls past Leo

BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — It’s hard to choose which dramatic moment to lead off with: DeKalb’s coach collapsing on the pitch at halftime, DeKalb’s goalkeeper making a save on a penalty kick, or the Barons scoring the match winner in extra time.

Regardless, DeKalb’s girls soccer players are going to have a story to tell for a long time.

Andrea Oster’s goal three minutes into extra time in Saturday’s Class 2A Sectional 9 final against Leo gave the Barons a 2-1 lead, and they held the Lions off in the final 11 minutes to win the program’s first sectional title in school history.

“I just couldn’t believe we had finally won,” Oster said. “Our team deserves to win. We have been working so hard for this.

As soon as I put it in, I just knew we were going to keep it up and put higher intensity on and just finish the game.

“It just means everything. We’ve never won sectionals.”

DeKalb girls soccer players celebrate after receiving the sectional title trophy Saturday. The Barons defeated Leo 2-1 in extra time.

of the match came right after the halftime horn.

DeKalb coach Sam Weicht collapsed on the pitch as players were walking off the field. Weicht stayed down for more than 15 minutes as he was attended to by multiple people — some of which were trained medical personnel — and the ambulance

was called. Weicht was in communication with everyone throughout however, as he was suffering from pain in his chest.

While Weicht was eventually put on a stretcher and placed in the ambulance, the ambulance never left East Noble High School. Weicht was

checked out by EMTs and, in the second half, was released on his own recognizance and walked back on to the DeKalb sideline.

Weicht said he has nerve damage in his chest suffered during his days of active duty in the army, and it hadn’t flared up for 12 years — until Saturday.

“I wasn’t going anywhere,” Weicht said.

“This was too special.

These girls have worked too hard for this and I wanted to see it. It wasn’t life-threatening, I knew what it was.

“I’m safe and I’m not going to die from it. Every once in a while it puts me down. But I’ll be fine. This is so much better.”

Said DeKalb senior Madison VanWye: “We just had to stay focused.

We just wanted to do it for him because he’s been a great coach.”

Leo (13-4-1) held a vast majority of the possession, and kept the ball in DeKalb’s defensive half for much of the final 65 minutes of regulation.

But the Barons held off a handful of solid Lion scoring chances to force extra time.

Oster’s goal came at the perfect time for DeKalb.

VanWye drew a foul just two yards outside the penalty box, and the usual kick-taker, Katie Hamlin, was on the sideline with a back injury suffered in the third minute of the match.

EMMA — Two 40-minute halves and two seven-minute overtime periods weren’t enough to decide the outcome of Saturday’s Class A boys sectional soccer game between Westview and Lakeland.

“It was obviously very evenly matched,” said Westview goalkeeper Tarrin Beachy, who went on to stop three of five penalty kicks in a shootout as Westview claimed a 2-1 victory to move on to regional play. “We knew we could outplay them, we just had to do it.”

Westview (12-6-1) moves to regional play and will face Fort Wayne Bishop Luers on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Garrett. Luers defeated Heritage 7-1.

“As seniors, we’ve been waiting for four years for this to happen,” said Westview’s Jaron Lewton. “We’re pretty excited, it’s awesome to make it through.”

The contest was deadlocked at 1-1 after regulation, with both goals coming in the second half.

Lakeland struck first when senior Dustin Cunningham slipped a shot into the corner of the net past Beachy.

EMMA — Westview senior Amber Roth was among the goal scorers in Saturday’s 7-0 win over Central Noble, giving the Warriors their third consecutive sectional title.

But it was her defensive presence on the field that made the biggest impact.

“Defensively, the whole tournament she just controled the whole backfield,” said Westview coach Jon Jantzi. “I’m blessed, I’ve coached three years and have had great groups of ladies. It makes it so much easier.”

The Warriors will move on to face Argos in regional competition on Saturday. Argos defeated LaVille 5-3 for its title. The contest will be played at Argos.

The Warriors didn’t allow a single goal throughout the tournament and registered their eighth-consecutive shutout in sectional soccer play. Westview opened the tournament with a 3-0 win over Garrett, followed with a 3-0 semifinal win over Lakeland, and closed the tournament with the 7-0 triumph.

Cardinals take 2-0 lead ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matched against ace Clayton Kershaw, the only thing Michael Wacha lacked was a no-hit watch.

“He’s becoming a guy a lot of teams wish they drafted,” teammate David Freese said. “What he’s done is remarkable, especially on this stage.”

Wacha stared down a bases-loaded test in the sixth inning and pitched into the seventh, and the kids in the bullpen also were impervious to October pressure, keeping the Los Angeles Dodgers bats silent for the second straight day and winning 1-0 Saturday for a 2-0 lead in the NL championship series.

“I’m kind of at a loss for words to describe him,” said fellow rookie Kevin

Siegrist, who got a big out to end the seventh. “It’s kind of ridiculous how well he’s done so far.”

The Cardinals managed only two hits off Kershaw and the Dodgers, but Jon Jay’s sacrifice fly set up by Freese’s double and A.J. Ellis’ passed ball in the fifth stood up.

The Dodgers’ scoreless streak in the NLCS reached 19 innings after they averaged 6 ½ runs in a four-game division series against Atlanta. Rookie fireballer Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth with a heater reaching 101 mph, fanning pinch-hitter Andre Ethier on three pitches to end it.

A day after outlasting Los Angeles 3-2 in 13 innings, the Cardinals moved two wins away

from the World Series.

Game 3 is Monday at Dodger Stadium, with Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright facing rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu. The Dodgers have already used their top two starters and have nothing to show for it.

“We don’t get too far ahead of ourselves,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “We don’t deny also what’s happened here the last two days.

“Those were two very good wins, two very tough wins when you face starters like that.”

Hanley Ramirez and Ethier were out of the Dodgers’ lineup with injuries after starting in the opener. Los Angeles missed a handful of opportunities, going 0 for

WV BOYS: Pressure-filled finish in final

LPC boys claim 6th consecutive sectional

BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — An experienced Garrett boys soccer team enjoyed a special season. A talented Lakewood Park Christian team proved to be too much for the Railroaders Saturday afternoon as it is looking to break down a bigger barrier.

The Panthers won their sixth straight sectional championship, defeating Garrett 4-0 in the Class 1A Garrett Sectional final.

Lakewood Park (15-2) will take on the Blackhawk Christian Sectional champion (either the Braves or Concordia) in the first semifinal of the Garrett Regional Thursday at 5 p.m.

“Winning sectionals is what these guys have grown accustomed to. Now is time to take the next big step,” Panthers coach Terry Exford said. “We believe in ourselves that we can do it.

“We’ve learned to play as a team. We’ve had to work in new ways to add skills into our game.”

LPC was skilled enough on Saturday to take care of business. It dominated possession and won a large majority of the 50-50 balls especially in the air.

But Panther junior goalkeeper Adam Hollman had to play big early. He deflected away a header by Karsten Cooper to stop a quality chance.

Lakewood struck early on a goal by Hunter Yoder.

Sophomore Bradey Gerke was too free in the Railroader box late in the first half and buried a shot high and to the right of Garrett goalkeeper Reiley Pugh with 1 minute, 32 seconds before halftime to put the Panthers up 2-0.

“It was just a matter of attrition. They wore us down,” Railroaders coach Doug Klopfenstein said.

“They dominated on offense and we spent a lot of time playing defense. It was just a matter of time.”

Jared Gerke scored twice for LPC in the second half.

His first tally come on an assist from Bradey Gerke

9:55 in. The second goal came with 17:27 left.

Yoder also had an assist.

“The guys executed to perfection,” Exford said. “We took away the middle of the field where their strength was and forced them to the outside. Nine (Cooper) and 10 (Dayton Sweet) are their biggest options. They could not work the ball.”

Pugh made six saves in goal for the Railroaders. Nik Wilkinson replaced Pugh and played the final eight minutes between the pipes without making a stop.

Eleven seniors ended their prep soccer careers for Garrett: Cooper, Sweet, Wilkinson, Chris Colby, Blake Western, Kaleb Hoover, Erik Savage, Keaton Lemish, Andrew Bishop, Ashton Castator and Gavin Dallas. The Railroaders finished 13-5-1.

“We need to leave here with our heads up high,” Klopfenstein said. “Those seniors played in almost 70 games for Garrett. That’s incredible. I’m proud of all our guys.”

Central Noble was playing without Tiffany Simcox, a key performer all season. The Cougars close the season at 9-8.

“We came a long way from the start of the season and made it to the finals of the tournament,” said Central Noble coach Justin Bigelow.

The Cougars held Westview at bay for nearly 20 minutes before Steph Mowery scored on an assist from Riley Hochstetler.

“It got us going,” Mowery said. “We wanted to get off strong and hoped they’d keep coming.”

They did. Hochstetler made it 2-0 when she sailed a shot over the head of the Cougar keeper and under the crossbar.

kick.

“At first I was really nervous,” Oster said. “All the pressure was on me. I saw there was a big gap where the goalie was and where the wall was. I knew that if I got it through the wall, the goalie wasn’t going to get it. The wall was really tall so there’s no way the goalie could see over them. I just did my best to put it in. I just forgot everyone was watching and placed it right.”

From there, the Barons held off Leo although the Lions did put together a couple decent chances.

The biggest play in regulation came from DeKalb sophomore goalkeeper Allie Gaff. In the 59th minute, DeKalb junior defender Kayla Kissinger was called for a foul in the penalty box. Leo’s Hannah Tkacz stepped up to take the PK, only to see Gaff turn it away with a save to her left.

“Nine times out of 10 that ball’s going in and she did a great job,” Weicht said. “She’s done that all year long. At Carroll she stopped an ungodly amount of shots.”

DeKalb took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute when VanWye had a blocked ball come right to her and she curled it in from 15 yards out. Leo equalized nine

minutes later when Tkacz scored off a long throw-in.

From there, the Lions out-possessed the Barons by a considerable margin, but failed to get the go-ahead goal.

“All week long we talked about how they were fast and they were going to pressure us, and we had to play inside ourselves,” Weicht said. “You may not have the ball at your end of the field, but knowing we can control it, we can keep it in there and when it goes down we got to be able to capitalize on it.”

DeKalb also nearly took this game in regulation. Sophomore Marisa Robinett’s free kick from 30 yards out nearly went in, with Leo keeper Toby Carman getting a glove on it at the last second to knock it wide.

DeKalb plays Bellmont (12-6) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the East Noble Regional semifinal, following the winner between Homestead vs. either Carroll or Fort Wayne Snider. The Barons defeated Bellmont 3-1 on Sept. 30.

“I’ve never experienced something like this. I’m so happy right now,” VanWye said. “We never gave up.

We kept going and we had our chances and we got one in.”

Michigan State’s Delton Williams (22) rushes against Indiana’s Bobby Richardson (95) during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday in East Lansing, Mich. Michigan State won 42-28.

Sudfeld went 14 of 30 for 137 yards, although backup Tre Roberson threw two touchdown passes for Indiana.

Nebraska 44, Purdue 7 Nebraska has a well-earned reputation for lighting up the scoreboard.

The Cornhuskers might finally have a solid defense to go with its potent offense.

Nebraska held Purdue to 216 yards in a 44-7 win on Saturday afternoon in West Lafayette.

The Huskers had shaky defensive performances earlier in the season, especially against Wyoming and UCLA, but Nebraska’s defense now has posted solid back-to-back efforts in wins over Illinois and Purdue. “We’ve always been known as the Blackshirts,�

Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory said. “I think the coaches, and I have, and some of the other guys have been waiting for us to come together and waiting for us to play like the Blackshirts that everyone knows. These last two weeks are big for us for how we want to play the rest of the season.�

Nebraska quarterback Ron Kellogg III said the Huskers were focused on producing a strong game on both offense and defense. “There was a lot of energy, and we wanted to prove something,� he said.

The Boilermakers ran for just 32 yards on 25 carries and didn’t score until the final minute of the game when Purdue’s Danny Etling found DeAngelo Yancey for a 55-yard touchdown pass with 39 seconds remaining.

Nebraska defensive end Greg McMullen said the Cornhuskers were disappointed that they lost the shutout so late.

Ameer Abdullah ran for 126 yards and a touchdown, Terrell Newby ran for 61 yards and Imani Cross added 56 yards and two touchdowns for the Cornhuskers.

Purdue changed starting quarterbacks during its bye week following a 55-24 loss to Northern Illinois, but the offense didn’t improve. Etling completed 14 of 35 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown in his first career start. Yancey caught five passes for 146 yards and a touchdown for the Boilermakers (1-5, 0-2).

SPORTS BRIEFS • Crawford leads Blackhawks past Sabres 2-1 CHICAGO (AP) — Corey Crawford made 28 saves to lead the Chicago Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the winless Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.

Ben Smith and Patrick Kane scored for the Blackhawks, who swept a pair of weekend home games, edging the Islanders 3-2 on Friday.

Drew Stafford connected with 8:11 left in the third, spoiling Crawford’s bid for a shutout. The Sabres (0-5-1) put together several tough challenges in the second and third periods despite being dominated earlier in the game and outshot 40-29.

Ryan Miller had 38 saves for Buffalo, which has been outscored 16-6 in its worst start since 1999-2000, when it was 0-5-2.

Celtics win first exhibition game under Stevens MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Rookie Kelly Olynyk had 15 points and six rebounds and the Boston Celtics got their first preseason win under new coach Brad Stevens, beating New York 111-81 Saturday night as the Knicks rested Carmelo Anthony and four other veterans.

The Celtics, winless in their first three games, scored the first 10 points and never trailed. Stevens was hired away from Butler in the offseason to take over the storied franchise.

Ike Diogu led the Knicks (1-2) with 21 points and eight rebounds, including five on the offensive end. Toure Murry added 16 points and Andrea Bargnani added 11.

Olynyk, a 7-footer from Gonzaga drafted by the Celtics with the 13th overall pick, also had six rebounds, three steals and a block as the Celtics won a “home” game played about 50 miles north of Boston.

The Celtics outrebounded New York 45-34.

Avery Bradley and Jordan Crawford scored 13 apiece for the Celtics and Jared Sullinger finished with 12 points and five rebounds. MarShon Brooks scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half as the Celtics let their younger players finish off the rout.

ESPN, sponsors help Chargers lift blackout for Colts game SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers have been spared the embarrassment of a local TV blackout of Monday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts after ESPN and some local sponsors guaranteed the purchase of approximately 8,500 tickets.

ESPN says it will give a portion of the tickets to military and charitable organizations.

The Chargers had received a 24-hour extension from the NFL before announcing Saturday that a sellout was guaranteed.

Among the companies helping buy tickets were two restaurants in which Chargers President Dean Spanos owns stock.

A similar arrangement was necessary last year to avoid a blackout of a game against Kansas City shown on the NFL Network.

The Chargers had four blackouts last year, when they finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the third straight season.

Van Lierde wins Ironman world championship KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) — Belgium’s Frederik Van Lierde won the Ironman World Championship on Saturday, running down the leaders and bursting into the lead with less than 10 miles to go.

In muggy, but calm conditions, Van Lierde finished the 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bike ride through lava fields and marathon run in 8 hours, 12 minutes, 29 seconds to become the second Belgian winner. It was the eighth-fastest time in the 35-year history of the event.

“I tried to be smart and it worked out,” said Van Lierde, third last year. “After last year, I believed I could do it. I worked hard this year. This is amazing. I don’t understand yet what this means to me. This is the best crowd you can imagine. Thank you so much, everybody.”

Luc Van Lierde was the first Belgian winner in 1996. The two are not related, but are good friends.

Koepke making most of return to America SAN MARTIN, Calif. (AP) — After a year spent traveling the world, Brooks Koepka suddenly is in a position to play a lot more golf at home.

In his first regular PGA Tour event, Koepka surged to the top of the leaderboard Friday in the Frys.com Open with a 7-under 64, giving him a one-shot lead over Jason Kokrak.

Kokrak, a runner-up at this event last year, hit 6-iron to the par-5 ninth to a foot for eagle and a 65.

Koepka, a 23-year-old Floridian, received a sponsor’s exemption into the PGA Tour season opener between stops in Scotland and Shanghai. He had no status at the start of the year after failing to advance beyond the second stage of Q-school last year. Instead of trying to qualify for Web.com Tour events, Koepka packed his bags and passport for a 15-country journey that has served him well.

Our View •

Lawmakers’ ‘efforts’ — or lack of effort — impede education So far, the squabbling at the national level is not affecting funding for elementary and high schools.

But at the state and national level, the long history of tinkering and attempts to increase efficiency or accountability have done little more than increase stress on educators. Nationwide expenditures on standardized testing is now in the billions each year — with little or no documented positive impact — while support for and empowerment of teachers at the classroom level continues to decline.

In Indiana the state uses enrollment levels to determine how much money each school district will get for its general fund. Hoosier school districts no longer have local control over their general funds, which usually make up 70 to 80 percent of a school district’s budget. The general fund is used to pay for people and their related expenses.

The state has two official count dates. The count of Sept. 13 determines how much a school corporation will receive initially. The count in February how much the school corporation Hoosier school districts determines will receive for the rest of the school year.

East Noble, with new students from no longer have local surrounding districts and foreign exchange control over their students, has its largest senior class in the general funds, which history of the district, according to Ann Linson, superientendent. She predicts a significant usually make up 70 to enrollment decline next year.

“The majority of our funds come from state 80 percent of a school and local dollars which are not affected by the district’s budget. shutdown,” Linson explained. “However, if the shutdown continues for several months, we will most likely see our federal funds — Title I, Title II, Title III and special education funding — decline.”

Head Start programs rely on federal funds, and in some parts of the country Head Start programs are being forced to close their doors.

So far that is not the case here. Two programs in northeast Indiana start their budget years Nov. 1 — Vistula Head Start for Steuben and LaGrange counties and Community Action of Northeast Indiana Head Start, serving Noble County. Garrett-Keyser-Butler Head Start in DeKalb County starts its fiscal year Jan. 1.

CANI Head Start serves 787 children in Noble, Allen and Whitley counties.

Vistula Head Start serves 167 children in Angola, Fremont and LaGrange.

Funding cuts are not new to Head Start. Earlier this year sequestration forced reductions in transportation, classroom hours and the closing of the Hamilton location. More cuts are possible.

When Head Start programs are forced to cut back or close, children lose the opportunity to gain experiences and skills that enable them to begin school ready to learn.

As retired educator Jim Nixon pointed out in a guest column Friday, “For many children, there are huge, painful holes in their pre-academic and emotional readiness to learn, which recent Indiana governors and legislators have chosen to ignore, while blithely posturing about school grades, school choice and merit pay.”

As our national leaders squabble, the impact on education could become more than “just” Head Start.

In so very many ways, our nation is wasting time, money and talent.

Letters • School fundraisers require a lot of effort for little reward To the editor: As a mother, grandmother and now great-grandmother, I am upset at the pressure schools put on our children conducting fundraisers. It seems each year that many schools within Noble County send their young children out to sell candy, popcorn, wrapping paper, candles, etc.

The sad news is that many of these schools get only about 40 percent of the total of merchandise sold, if that much!

If one calculated the cost of these candy bars, it comes to about $56 a pound!

This is not to say how much work it is for the parents, who feel obligated to take these goods to their offices and/ or work and sell to all their friends, then have to deliver everything. And what about the teachers’ time sorting, boxing, taking orders from children,

etc. Has anyone considered all the time involved in that orchestration just to get 40 percent of the sales?

Even more disturbing is the fact of what the children are told. For instance, if you sell 10-15 items you get a toy, 16-40 items you may get a better toy, and so on and so forth … however, to tell a child that if they do not sell a certain amount, they cannot attend a class party? I find this ridiculous and absurd, and our schools should not allow it and certainly not promote it.

I sometimes feel that they forget we are all struggling and many families have both parents working, so after school and work is the only time we have for quality family time and homework and dinner.

Just ask all of us for one $1 to help fund, and the schools can keep the entire amount!

Kind of like a bakeless bake sale.

Hoosier Republicans divided on potential default BLOOMINGTON — The Obamacare health exchanges got off to a disastrous start this month, plagued by systemic computer glitches. But the focus of the nation is fixated on a congressionally induced government shutdown and a potential default that could dwarf the Lehman Brothers collapse of 2008 and the Great Recession many of us still feel today.

By Wednesday, the magnitude of this epic congressional feint was an Associated Press/gfk Poll that showed approval for the body at 5 percent, putting Congress in the company of drug dealers and Kim Jung Un. The poll revealed that 62 percent blamed Republicans.

Gallup measured support for the Republican Party at a historic low 28 percent, compared to a slightly less miserable 43 percent for Democrats.

Capitol Hill sources tell me that among the eight Hoosier Republicans, a handful actually entertained a federal default.

When I sought positions from the Republican delegation, U.S. Rep. Todd Young came out emphatically against a default, while Reps. Marlin Stutzman, Susan Brooks, Larry Bucshon and Luke Messer took positions theoretically against a default, but couched the situation by urging President Obama and congressional Democrats to come to the table to negotiate.

Missing in response was Rep. Todd Rokita, who in 2011 was open to a default.

Young, the Bloomington Republican who sits on the House Ways & Means Committee, has been speaking out against a federal default since 2011 and indicated he opposes anything that would prevent raising the debt ceiling, which is set to expire Oct. 17. But

the closer that day comes, the more risk there is to a credit downgrade.

In 2011, that downgrade actually came before the debt limit deadline.

Addressing the House on May 9, Young pushed the Full Faith & Credit Act, which he said “Would make default impossible.” He acknowledged that this is the HOWEY third time since he POLITICAL joined the House REPORT in January 2011 he has faced a debt ceiling showdown.

“We have an Brian Howey opportunity to work together and finally tackle long-term issues such as tax reform,” Young said in May. “Let’s take default off the table and work on real issues.”

Speaker John Boehner has shifted on the issue publicly.

“What the president said today was if there’s unconditional surrender

by Republicans, he’ll sit down and talk,” Boehner said after Obama’s Tuesday press concurrence. But Capitol Hill sources have told me, “Every time Boehner speaks to the conference, he says we’re not going into default.” On Thursday, the Associated Press reported that Boehner would seek a short-term debt ceiling increase.

U.S. Sen. Dan Coats was critical of President Obama’s unwillingness to come to the table.

“Refusing to negotiate on a plan to address our nation’s $17 trillion debt would be a complete failure of this administration and a disservice to the American people,” Coats said. “Congress and the administra-

• tion cannot continue to ignore our nation’s debt crisis and avoid the difficult decisions that would result in restoring economic growth, I urge the president to stop dodging and start leading on this critical issue so we can enact a plan to pay our past bills and bring down our massive debt.”

Stutzman, who gained notoriety when he told the Washington Examiner that his wing of the party didn’t want to be “disrespected” but had no clue to an end game in this standoff, said on Tuesday, “Because Washington’s spending addiction has put this country $17 trillion in debt, any debt ceiling conversations must include a serious, long-term strategy to reduce our national debt. Given the harm a default would have on families, businesses, and financial markets, Washington must avoid default and tackle the issue of deficit spending.”

Reps. Bucshon, Walorski, Messer and Susan Brooks also lined up against a default, but blasted Obama and Democrats for not negotiating.

On Tuesday, Obama reiterated

he would not “negotiate” under the threat of a default, which he described as “insane” and “irresponsible.”

Throughout the week, there was speculation in some GOP quarters that a default wouldn’t really be that bad.

Howard County Republican Chairman Craig Dunn, who works in insurance and financial services, wrote in his column for Howey Politics Indiana of a default, “Money Markets may become grossly disrupted. We saw this situation in September of 2008 when Lehman brothers collapsed.

There is a very complex and sophisticated system of securities purchase and settlement that is supremely dependent on trust and confidence between the parties to a transaction. A breakdown of that confidence could dry up credit and virtually freeze our economy.

This alone could move us from recession to depression overnight.

We saved ourselves last time.

Could we be lucky again?”

Dunn added, “It is time for our president to show some leadership and Congress to work on a compromise so that we not run up to the edge of the cliff and stare into the abyss.”

He noted that on the wall in his Kokomo office is an 1864 Confederate States of America Treasury Bond. “It was to pay 6 percent interest for 30 years,” said Dunn, who has written two books on Indiana’s Civil War legacy. “It has one coupon that has been clipped.”

“It was guaranteed by the Full Faith and Credit of the Confederacy,” Dunn added. “Enough said.”

This is how we got here This is not the most acrimonious period in American political history. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr killed his longtime rival, Alexander Hamilton, in a duel. Fifty-two years later, Rep. Preston Brooks of South Carolina assaulted Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts with a heavy cane.

We haven’t heard any threats of bodily harm. Yet. But in almost 50 years of covering the capital, we’ve never seen a political landscape so incendiary and COKIE ROBERTS intractable. Usually, at this stage of a STEVEN ROBERTS legislative standoff, pragmatists in both parties are reaching for an accord.

Feelers are going out. Good sense is taking hold.

Not this time. As Speaker John Boehner said on ABC: “There may be a back room somewhere, but there’s nobody in it.”

Democrats are not blameless — their Senate leader Harry Reid has been particularly pugnacious — but House Republicans clearly bear more responsibility for shuttering the government and endangering the country’s credit rating. They picked this fight. They sought this showdown. And the public has reacted very negatively. In the latest Washington Post/ABC poll, 70 percent view the GOP’s role unfavorably while only 24 percent are positive.

So why did they take this course? And why do they persist? One answer is that powerful, long-term trends are pushing those Republicans toward a confrontation that was entirely predictable. As Dan Balz put it in The Washington Post, “The government shutdown did not happen by accident.”

After last year’s election, Nate Silver analyzed the results in The New York Times and tried to explain why compromise is “so hard in the House.” The answer was not “the irrationality of Republican members” but exactly the opposite.

“Individual members of Congress are responding fairly rationally to their incentives,” Silver wrote. “Most members of the House now come from hyper-partisan districts where they face essentially no threat of losing their seat to the other party. Instead, primary challenges, especially for Republicans, may be the more serious risk.”

The most obvious reason for these “hyper-partisan districts” is the process by which district lines are drawn. “Gerrymandering” is as old as the country, since the term was coined by the Boston Gazette in 1812. But partisan mapmakers, armed with high-speed computers, have raised that ancient art to a whole new level.

Silver estimates that in 1992, 103 House

Plant manager praised

• members represented “swing” districts that could legitimately be won by either party. That number has now shrunk to 35, less than 10 percent of the entire chamber. Using a different metric, David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report estimates the number of swing districts has dropped from 164 in 1998 to just 90 today.

The essence of democracy is being perverted. Most lawmakers are insulated from any accountability. Yes, they run every two years, but those elections are a sham in many cases. They have virtually no fear of defeat — except from a primary challenger who pushes them to embrace partisan posturing over pragmatic dealmaking.

Redistricting is only part of the problem, however. Within each district, lines are hardening. Red areas are getting redder and blue areas bluer. People are voting with their feet, “self-sorting” themselves by choosing neighborhoods they find more socially and politically compatible.

Liberals tend to move to cities, conservatives to the fringes of suburbia and beyond.

And once they get there, their voting behavior becomes more rigid. As a result, says Silver, there has been a “sharp decrease in ticket-splitting.”

During the last government shutdown in the mid-’90s, reports Wasserman, 79 House Republicans represented districts won by Bill Clinton. Today just 17 — fewer than 10 percent — are in districts won by Obama, a huge change. Political scientist Gary Jacobson tells the Washington Post that 30 years ago, about one-quarter of American voters split their tickets; last year that number dropped to 11 percent.

According to the latest CBS/New York Times poll, 72 percent of Americans oppose the government shutdown and only 25 percent support it. But those are national figures. Here in the capital, the tea Party types might look like “wacko birds,” in John McCain’s famous phrase. Back home they’re heroes.

So yes, Speaker Boehner has a very tough job. But listening to the base of his party is not his only obligation. That base represents a small minority in the country, and great leaders should not become prisoners of their loudest, shrillest supporters. The national interest is at stake here. The speaker should put that goal first and stand up to the hardliners, even if they’re heroes back home.

ach piece of gourd art Beverly Gerner creates she considers a conversation with God through nature.

Gerner said each piece is “God’s gourd” as a way of honoring Him. Gerner of Hogback Lake is a gourd artist.

But her form of art goes much deeper than the creative process. Instead, she considers it her ministry. It’s also part of the reason she refers to it as God’s Gourds and Gerner.

She looked at a gourd under transformation, as she used her wood burner on it. “I consider this to be God’s gourd. He created this,” she said. “Sometimes I think, ‘What would you like me to do next?’ Really, my gourds are conversations with God and all my gourds have to honor Him.” She has her sister to thank for helping her discover gourd art.

“My sister had me over one day and she had a dime store wood burner. She got me started six or seven years ago. I never recovered from it — I just fell in love with it,” she said. “It’s calming. The world goes away when I gourd.”

Gerner doesn’t look at gourds as refuse that’s part of harvest time.

Rather, she looks at their shape because that tells their possibilities.

Gerner has plenty on hand to keep her busy for awhile considering she has a pile in her shed in need of cleaning for use.

First, she scrubs her gourds, because they get moldy. Then she cleans and dries them, before conditioning them with Formula

Top photo, then down, several gourds appear on display created by gourd artist Beverly Gerner.

Gerner of Hogback Lake, Angola, begins the process of creating art on a gourd at her lake home.

Gourds of all shapes and sizes are transformed to art by Gerner. She spends several months on some gourds. Several gourds sun bathe to dry out before being turned into art.

Good gourd ART: Gerner pencils an idea onto the gourd, then uses wood burner FROM PAGE C1

About the gourds

409 so that dye can be absorbed better.

As Gerner talked, she worked on decorating a gourd she referred to as Navajo Mother Earth. “This symbol represents Mother Earth in Navajo. On the reverse side, I’m doing Father Sky,” she said.

Gerner pencils her idea onto a gourd. Those ideas come from a multitude of places — books, nature, everyday objects.

She demonstrated her technique using her wood burner with precision, as her image went onto her gourd. “I control the temperature,” she said.

“It’s so hard and dense.

I’m glad I’m doing a geometric design because it’s something I call free form. Sometimes, I stop and rub these gourds and it’s a tactile art.”

DO THEY LAST VERY LONG? Yes, because Gerner dries and cures the gourds, they will last indefinitely, unless you drop them!

HOW MUCH: They range all the way from $4 to $175 WHERE TO BUY: Some are on display at St. Joe’s Big Red Barn, 6205 State Road 1, St. Joe, Ind., or for more details, contact Gerner at hogbackbeverly@live.com.

Some of her completed gourds were on display at home and included a triple turtle and autumn leaves.

Another one depicted birds in a nest incorpo-

rating a grape arbor from her childhood. Others she includes fiber into the piece. “I buy the fiber and spend time dying it with yarrow and spinning it,” Gerner said.

Another of her gourds is dyed black and beaded and includes a stone from a man who walked the Appalachian Trail.

Gerner said she enjoys experimenting with gourds.

For one things, she collects feathers for embellishment, like those she used on a rooster. Another she used alpaca-woven dyed yarn.

Still another uses Florida leaves.

“I truly get fond of all of them. These are my kids,” she said. “I see the world through gourds. If I’m looking at something I’m thinking of gourds and never thought I’d get into it so much.”

Gerner considers it a

win-win when she sells one of her gourds. For one thing, she can buy another gourd from proceeds. She also sends her form of ministry with it. “When a gourd sells, I’m selling all the prayers and love and hope,” she said.

Gerner then showed a small blessing tree she made that small gourds hang upon, all with sayings such as “float on the power of His presence,” “blessings on your day” or scripture.

Some of the works of God’s Gourds and Gerner are on display at St. Joe’s Big Red Barn.

For more details, contact Gerner at hogbackbeverly@live.com.

“I’m trying to spread through nature the love of God,” Gerner said. “To me, they’re almost synonymous. I would say this is my ministry.”

A large gourd with many smaller gourds appears on display.

Popular Humans of New York photoblog now a book NEW YORK (AP) — Brandon Stanton rounds the corner, spots a tiny blur of pink, and runs over to ask if he can take a picture. He crouches in a busy Manhattan bike lane to get the shot: a beautiful little girl with pink leg braces, a walker and a big smile, her dad posed behind her.

Stanton posts the picture on his website, HumansofNewYork.com — known to fans as HONY — with a mere two sentences from the father: “We go to four appointments every week, but I don’t mind.

She’s my blood.” No names or other details.

Within an hour, the image has 22,000 likes. Comments like this pour in: “HONY. Restoring my faith in humanity, one photostory at a time.”

Stanton’s magical blend of portraits and poignant, pithy storytelling has earned HONY more than 2 million followers online. Now he’s putting his work in a book, “Humans of New York,” out Oct. 15 from St. Martin’s Press.

Not bad for a guy who once flunked out of college, was fired from his first job as a bond trader and didn’t own a regular camera until 2010.

Stanton, 29, who’s from Marietta, Ga., and lives in Brooklyn, shoots every day, taking 5,000 street portraits

Travel

over the past three years. As he strolls around, Canon in hand, wearing a backward baseball cap and New Balance sneakers, he’s stopped every few minutes by fans, many of them teenagers. “Thanks for inspiring me,” Sebastian Sayegh, 19, told him.

Part of his genius is offering short, provocative captions that allow readers to imagine the rest of the story.

He quotes a thin, pensive man with a cigarette as saying: “I’m a little bit separated with wife now.” A guy carrying a bouquet says: “Sometimes, when I’m going home to see her, I think: ‘Nobody should be this happy on a Tuesday.’”

Some photos are pure celebration, like pictures of kids titled “Today in microfashion”: a dapper boy in blue suit and sunglasses, a smiling girl in a bright red, Islamic-style headscarf and tunic.

Tender stories are featured, too, often emerging from the questions Stanton has designed to quickly “uncover the most meaningful events in a person’s life.” His recurring “What was your saddest moment?” query elicits a lot of “the day my mother died” quotes.

HONY has even inspired a parody, Hummus of New York, and copycats — Humans of Sydney, Humans

my grandfather got really bad Alzheimer’s. I got back into the University of Georgia right as his Alzheimer’s was starting to get kind of bad. I knew when I was leaving he wasn’t going to be the same person when I came back.

This Oct. 2 photo shows photographer Brandon Stanton, creator of the Humans of New York blog, right, after snapping a portrait of Mecit Kabatas and his 5-year-old daughter Bayza in New York. Stanton’s magical blend of portraits and poignant, pithy storytelling has earned HONY more than 2 million followers online.

of Portland — but they are pale imitations.

Stanton accepts no advertising for HONY, but he occasionally asks fans to support causes related to his photos. HONY followers donated $300,000 for Hurricane Sandy relief; $30,000 to send a kid to camp and $100,000 to a YMCA. (Stanton wanted the fashion label DKNY to give $100,000 to the YMCA after his photos appeared in a window display without permission; when the company only gave $25,000,

his fans made up the rest.)

He doesn’t take notes or use a tape recorder: “Once they say the quote I am going to use, I know it. So I don’t have to remember the entire conversation.”

The Associated Press asked Stanton to answer some of the questions he asks his subjects — and a few others.

AP: What advice would you give a large group of people?

STANTON: Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Humans of New York, when I started it, was nothing like it is now. … It didn’t emerge from me thinking a fully formed idea and executing it. It emerged from me tinkering and working and evolving. So many people wait until the pieces are in place to start, and often that moment never comes.

AP: In 2011, the AP wrote a story about your plan to take a visual census of 10,000 New Yorkers. What happened to that project?

STANTON: HONY’s evolved so much. It’s so different from when you guys wrote that first article.

It used to be a photography blog. I can’t call it that any more. It’s a storytelling blog. Before, I was visually responding to the street. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. Now I look for someone sitting alone.

I look for people who are approachable.

AP: What was your happiest moment?

STANTON: That (AP) story was written after six months of obsessively doing this all day, every day, walking

thousands of miles and taking thousands of portraits and I really hadn’t been able to get any traction or develop an audience. After that article was written, my Facebook fans jumped from 220 to 770. … I remember going to sleep that night the happiest man in the world. After all that struggle, I finally thought it was going to work.

AP: As HONY grew, so did comments mocking or insulting the people you photographed. You finally told readers “the right to free speech does not apply here.”

What happens to negative comments now?

STANTON: My assistants delete, ban, delete, ban.

AP: You often photograph homeless people and people with disabilities. Does anyone complain about being a poster child?

STANTON: I’ve gotten some great portraits. I’ve also been cussed out. I just have to approach everybody the same way and keep my intentions clear. … If somebody asks me to take their picture down, I do it.

AP: What’s the most shocking thing that’s happened to you?

STANTON: My fans trend young and they trend female, but one night I was in Bryant Park and there was this man, about 70, sitting alone on a computer. I took his photo and said I run a site called Humans of New York. Then he flipped his computer around. He’d been looking at it.

Two area Youth for Christ chapters merge AUBURN — With a combined 119 years of service to northeast Indiana teens, two youth organizations have merged in an effort to become more effective and efficient, a press release said.

Youth for Christ of Northeast Indiana (serving DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties) and Fort Wayne Area Youth for Christ (serving Allen, Huntington, Whitley and

Wabash counties) will merge, bringing their ministries under one umbrella that covers eight counties.

The consolidated Youth for Christ organization is now poised to make an even greater impact in the region, a Youth for Christ press release said.

Currently, more than 10,000 teens are reached annually through Campus Life clubs, mentoring

in the juvenile justice system, and educational and recreational programs offered in Auburn and at the Primetime Center in downtown Fort Wayne.

“We’re thrilled with this consolidation,” said State Sen. Dennis Kruse, chairman of the YFC Northeast Indiana board of directors. “We’re convinced that our ministries will be better together.

Collaborations are more fruitful when people join

hands for a common cause.

“Fort Wayne Area YFC is widely regarded as one of the strongest chapters among all 160 YFC chapters in the nation. Our Northeast Indiana YFC is also a very robust organization. This will be a powerful collaboration.”

The proximity of the two organizations and strong working relationships already in place will make both chapters more effective at reaching teens for Christ.

“Combining our infrastructures will serve to facilitate operations and supervise current and future YFC staff across all counties served,” said Larry Lance, executive director of Fort Wayne Area YFC. “Moreover, by not duplicating overhead and operating expenses, our combined organization will save more than $100,000 annually, which will be used to reach more students at

Rogers to share triumphant story HELMER — The Helmer United Methodist Church is hosting Robert Rogers and Mighty in the Land Ministry Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Rogers is a noted singer, composer, worship leader and author who shares his personal story of tragedy turned to triumph when his entire family was swept away in a 2003 flash flood. He was the only survivor. His wife and four young children perished.

Through adversity of Biblical proportions, Rogers learned that God will enable you to live a life of no regrets when you trust Him, a press release said. He has been seen and heard on many national and international television and radio broadcasts. There is no charge for the program, but a love offering will be accepted to help support the foundation that Rogers has established for orphans around the world.

The Shane Brothers Quartet will sing at Stroh Church of God Oct. 20.

Share Your Faith Shane Brothers to perform in Stroh Workshop planned STROH — The Shane Brothers Quartet, a Christian gospel group whose members together have recorded more than 40 albums, will appear at Stroh Church of God at 6 p.m.

Oct. 20.

The quartet also owns and operates the Gospel Barn of Bluffton in northeast Indiana, the city that serves as headquarters for the troupe.

Singing in the group are brothers Jeff, Mike and Rick Shane and Jim Loving.

The quartet began in 1992 and has since performed with notables

such as Glen Campbell, the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, the Kingsmen, the Florida Boys and the Booth Brothers.

Jeff Shane, the group’s baritone, says the group was inspired by the brothers’ parents, who loved music and performed themselves in a family quartet. “We always had southern gospel playing in our house,” he said, adding that the purpose of the current group is “to encourage Believers.”

Loving, the group’s tenor, has more than 40 years experience working

as a gospel soloist and as a member of several groups.

Mike Shane, the group’s lead/second tenor, says that music has always been a part of his life; and he cites the influence of his grandfather who led worship at his home church for more than 65 years.

Singing bass is Rick Shane. He says that just before he was born, his parents took him often to hear top gospel quartets like the Statesmen and the Oak Ridge Boys. When the bass singers hit their low notes, the expectant mother’s baby would go crazy. “That baby

was me,” Rick said. “When I was born I had such a low cry that the doctor told my parents, ‘You are going to have a bass singer.’”

Rick attended the Stamps Baxter School of Music and the Steve Hurst School of Vocal Ministry and Performance. He has sung with 10 different quartets.

Most of the group’s appearances are in the Midwest.

The concert at the church in Stroh is free, but a freewill offering will be taken. For more information, contact the church at 351-2910.

Prayer can help combat pain Chronic pain costs the United States billions, 72.5 billion in nonmedical prescription painkillers alone. Amid this dry, clinical statistic are millions of individuals who suffer daily and for whom there is perhaps some mitigation but no hope of an actual end to the pain. After an injury or an illness, pain can go on for months or years and, even if not constant, it can interfere with daily life at all levels.

Living with chronic pain follows the domino factor. One thing leads to another. It can keep you from exercising and eating properly, which leads to obesity and depression.

Suffering from pain keeps you home alone, instead of mixing with friends and family who could provide a support system of love.

In general pain acts as an isolator.

Practical solutions to help those suffering from chronic pain are sorely needed, especially since physicians and people are increasingly concerned about the abuse of prescription drugs and the problem of creating addicts. Overdoses of drugs such as Vicodin, Percocet and Oxycontin currently cause more deaths than car accidents.

There is also growing awareness of what might be the worst outcome of the entire system around pain treatment — doctors who are increasingly abusing the prescription process to enrich themselves. The Indiana attorney general’s office has brought action in recent years against more than 15 doctors who prescribed large quantities of pain medicine, often without any medical reason.

These are factors to consider as we move

forward from National Pain Awareness Month, promoted by the KATIE S. American Chronic Pain BROWN Association with Purdue University, one of its corporate sponsors.

One promising, and increasingly studied, solution is in using mindfulness practices, including prayer. In a Canadian Community Health Survey religious persons were less likely to have chronic pain and fatigue. The survey indicated that consideration of an individual’s spirituality and/or religion, and how it may be used in coping may be an additional component to the overall management of chronic pain and fatigue.

The ACPA website said, “When we experience any pain; it is in both our bodies and minds.” Pain being in bodies and minds, opens the door for us to consider the role prayer can play in not only coping with pain but also actually healing it.

USA TODAY, ABC News and Stanford University Medical Center polled people who use prayer to control pain. Prayer was acknowledged as significant in controlling pain with 90 percent saying it worked well, and 51 percent saying very well.

“Prayer enables you to take your mind and place it in a new perspective,” said family doctor Harold Betton, who also is pastor of New Light Baptist Church in Little Rock. By focusing on prayer, believers reduce stress and gain control over

•

pain, he said.

A cousin of mine found prayer a practical solution for pain after the medication provided to her post-surgery did not manage or end pain she was experiencing. She said the pain dissolved when she was “covered in prayer.”

Her church community prayed for her before, during, and after the surgery.

Through her faith she knew God would take care of her, and when the pain was unbearable she tapped into this divine Source.

Mary Baker Eddy, a woman who also tapped into God to be healed after an accident, wrote in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, “Become conscious for a

single moment that Life [God] and intelligence are purely spiritual, — neither in nor of matter, — and the body will then utter no complaints.”

Traditional therapies, based in the realm that the pain exists in the body, may have reached their limitations.

Considering the causes and the solutions in a different light may be a path to freedom from chronic pain.

KATIE S. BROWN lives in

Fort Wayne and writes regularly about spirituality and health. She is also a Christian Science practitioner and teacher and the media and legislative liaison for Christian Science in Indiana.

Lift Up

AUBURN — An Evangelism Explosion International Share Your Faith Workshop will be hosted by St. Andrew Evangelical Presbyterian Church Oct. 26.

Using the five fingers on your hand, Evangelism Explosion, founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy, has developed a Gospel presentation that’s easy to learn and hard to forget.

Evangelism Explosion is a nondenominational ministry that trains people how to share their faith in Christ.

Share Your Faith Workshops is a hands-on approach to easily share faith.

The workshop will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Military woman eager to start family

DEAR ABBY: I am a 19-year-old female who is serving in the U.S. Air Force. I’m stationed overseas at the moment, and I plan to make the military my career.

I have reached a point in life when I am ready to have a family. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a man who is compatible with me. Every relationship I have ends because it conflicts with my military schedule.

I know adoption is a hard process, but I’m willing to go through it. What do you think about my trying to adopt as a single parent? — UNSURE OF MY NEXT MOVE IN ENGLAND DEAR UNSURE: I’m glad you asked because I think you’re jumping the gun. At 19, your search for someone compatible has been limited because of your youth and job responsibilities.

Who would care for your little one if you, as a single mother, were transferred to a “hot spot,” or injured or worse?

Would relatives assume the responsibility? Before becoming a mother — adoptive or otherwise — it’s important that you think about this realistically from the point of view of what would be best for the child. If you wait to become a parent until you are older, as many women do today, you will be better equipped emotionally and financially for the responsibility.

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend whose child is brilliant.

He is testing in the 99.5 percentile. At 7, he is already far in advance of his classmates. He has read chapter books since age 5, is doing algebra and asking post-doctoral math and science questions, according to a professor close to the family.

His mother is in denial. She says the other kids will “catch up” in time. If he had special needs in another area, I know she’d be in there fighting to get him appropriate services and accommodations.

Please, Abby, what can we do to convince his mother that he needs more than what his inner-city schools can provide?

I was one of those kids, and I know he needs contact with other kids who match his intellectual level more closely. — CONCERNED FRIEND IN NEW JERSEY DEAR CONCERNED: The mother may be in denial, but the child’s teachers and principal must surely have recognized his abilities. Enlist their help in convincing the mother to see that her son advances at a rate appropriate for his IQ. When students are as far ahead academically as the child you describe, they can become bored and disruptive. It would be in everyone’s interest to see that he is placed in classes where he can continue to excel — regardless of whether the others catch up.

DEAR ABBY: With Halloween fast approaching, I would like to remind cat owners to keep them safely indoors on the days surrounding this holiday. Unfortunately, some people still associate cats with Halloween superstitions. Please do not assume that black cats are the only felines at risk. Any cat can be the target of a cruel Halloween prank. — CAT LOVER IN THE SOUTH DEAR CAT LOVER: Thank you for the reminder. Please, everyone, keep yourselves AND YOUR PETS safe this Halloween.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Multigenerational household is beneficial for everyone DEAR BRUCE: I am writing this for my parents.

They have three children and eight grandchildren.

They are both in their 80s and just sold their home.

The profit should be about $130,000.

My son, his wife and two children are selling their home and looking for a home with in-law quarters so my parents can move in with them. I think it’s great that they want to do this.

My parents were going to give them $100,000 to pay their share. My son is going to clear only about $30,000 from the sale of his home.

He was pre-approved for $140,000 for a mortgage.

Homes in this area with in-law quarters are about $250,000.

We just don’t know if this is the right way to go about this. That $100,000 is about all my parents have

besides their pensions and my mom’s Social Security ($1,200 a month). If they should pass in a few years, then one grandchild gets to keep that money because it is invested in his home.

My parents could live in an SMART apartment, but we all MONEY like the idea of them not being alone.

Bruce Williams My father has the beginnings of dementia.

Do you have any suggestions? — Holly, via email DEAR HOLLY: I don’t see the downside here. Your

•

son and his wife are willing to put their money and mortgage into a home with mother-in-law quarters. This is simply a home that has separate living spaces so your parents can have a degree of privacy, but also the comfort of having someone younger to look in on them, help them with shopping and so forth.

Whether they live a year or two is a matter that God decides. When they both pass away, your son gets to keep the money invested in his home. With someone close and willing to look after them, I think it’s a hell of a deal.

Your father with the start of dementia is another problem. Much more care will be required as the dementia takes away some of his abilities. If your son is willing to go into this knowing the dementia is starting, I see no problem.

Your parents are very lucky to have him.

DEAR BRUCE: I am curious: What is the highest credit score you can have? I just checked mine and it is 750. — George, via email DEAR GEORGE: The traditional highest credit score is 850, and 750 is certainly a very good score.

If you crack 800, you are golden.

Use up overripe bananas in bread Overripe bananas can still be eaten. Mix them into baked goods such as pancakes, muffins, cakes or cookies.

Add them to smoothies and milkshakes, or combine them with yogurt and spoon them into a popsicle mold, freeze them and make frozen yogurt pops. You can add one to your morning oatmeal or make banana oatmeal bread.

The first reader tip shares the recipe: Using ripe bananas: I make banana oatmeal bread with bananas that are too mushy to eat.

Banana Oatmeal Bread • 1 cup packed brown sugar • 1/4 cup and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil • 2 large egg whites • 1 large egg • 1-1/3 cups mashed ripe banana (about 2 large) • 1 cup regular oats • 1/2 cup milk • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine first four ingredients in a large bowl; beat well at medium speed. Combine banana, oats and milk; add to sugar mixture, beating well.

Spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, FRUGAL salt and LIVING cinnamon.

Add to sugar Sara Noel mixture; beat just until moist.

Spoon batter into a 9-by-5inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10-15 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. — Lourdes, email

•

Oatmeal soap balls: I like to make these soap balls for gifts.

• 1 cup instant Quaker

oatmeal • 1 bar mild soap (such as Ivory) • 1/4 cup water Use a mini-processor to chop the oatmeal, but don’t pulse it into a powder. Put into a bowl. Use a grater to grate the soap. Add the water and microwave on high for 2 minutes to melt it, then blend well. Add the oatmeal to the soap mixture. Once cool enough to handle, shape into balls and put on wax paper to dry. Balls can be put into containers or wrapped with plastic wrap and tied with raffia. A gift tag can be attached to the raffia. — Jeannie, Pennsylvania

Homemade apple juice Homemade apple juice concentrate: You can make apple juice concentrate by boiling down cider that you buy in the store or from a farm. Just place in a pot and boil down until the juice is a bit thick. It takes a long time, and the juice will taste very strong. You can add sugar, cinnamon sticks and/or cloves to it, if you like. I use this concentrate to flavor apple pies and all kinds of desserts, as well as syrup. — Mary

Ann, email Make applesauce and apple juice: If you don’t have a food mill, get one! They’re about $20 new or $5 used (if you can find one). My mom found mine at an antique store/junk shop. To make applesauce, wash your apples well and cut into chunks, seeds and all. Place chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Cook covered on medium-low until tender (20-40 minutes). Cool 10 minutes. Scoop apple chunks into food mill and crank over a large bowl. Discard seeds and peels. Now you have applesauce!

The boiling water left over when you cook down your apples makes a great apple juice! Strain the liquid into a pitcher. Sweeten if desired.

Chill well. — Constance, New Jersey SARA NOEL is the owner of

The only 2 rewards cards you really need In August, Consumer Reports Money Adviser applied that hypothesis to more than 60 rewards card programs using a variety of spending scenarios based, in part, on Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer spending data and market research.

It turns out that spreading the right purchases across the right two cards can earn you hundreds of dollars more in annual rewards than just one card. Here are the best two cards for two ypes of spenders.

The full house Your family spends about $3,900 on gas and $5,700 on groceries a year, the national average for a couple with children, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On a credit card budget of $3,000 a month, you’re also spending

heavily on entertainment, clothes and utilities.

Your two best cards: American CONSUMER Express REPORTS Blue Cash Preferred and Fidelity Rewards American Express Your rewards total: $1,070 in the first year; $1,980 over two years Your strategy: The AmEx Blue Cash Preferred card offers you 6 percent cash back on groceries (on up to $6,000 a year) and 3 percent on gas.

To get the maximum rewards in those categories, Consumer Reports Money Adviser says to put all of your monthly grocery and gas purchases on that AmEx card. Put the rest of your charges on the Fidelity Rewards AmEx, which gives you 2 percent

•

cash back on all of your other purchases. You can pocket that cash or put it into a Fidelity individual retirement account, a brokerage account or your family’s 529 college savings plan.

The road warrior Whether it’s for work or play, you spend lots of time on planes and in hotels, and you want to earn rewards so your next globetrotting trip is free. Three-quarters of your credit card spending is in travel-related categories such as airfare, hotels, rental cars and dining, and you charge a total of $3,000 a month.

Your two best cards: Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard with double points and PenFed Premium Travel Rewards American Express Your rewards total: $1,550

in the first year; $2,420 over two years Your strategy: The PenFed card and the Barclaycard let you use your points for trips on any airline. The PenFed pays an impressive 5 points back on every dollar spent on airfare. If you use it to charge flights but put your other travel expenses and the rest of your charges on the Barclaycard to take advantage of its travel reward of 2 miles for every dollar spent, Consumer Reports Money Adviser says you’ll reach the reward totals noted above. The Barclaycard also gives you $400 worth of travel points if you spend $1,000 in the first three months.

You can redeem your Barclaycard points on such sites as Kayak, Orbitz and Travelocity. But the PenFed card requires you to use its agent to book your travel.

Medical studies provide life-lengthening clues This past week, one of my patients told me that she liked the columns that covered a lot of different topics. So I decided to put together another collection of unrelated medical blurbs.

A study from the University of Southampton in England revealed that viruses cannot survive on copper. This suggests that copper tubing as well as brass taps and fittings could help wipe out some of those viruses that plague us every winter.

A study from Imperial College in London looked at the habits of nearly 380,000 people and found that those who followed official lifestyle advice on cancer prevention, including limiting their alcohol, were able to reduce their chance of death from several major diseases by around a third.

Breast feeding reduces cancer risk The study also found that women who breastfed their children exclusively for at least six months saw their cancer risk drop by 10 percent, while their chance of death from circulatory

disease fell by 17 percent.

The individual tips that had the greatest impact on reducing the risk of death from those diseases were being as lean as possible without DR. TERRY becoming underweight GAFF (22 percent reduced risk) and eating lots of vegetables and fruits (21 percent).

In terms of cancer, limiting alcohol had the greatest effect, reducing the chance of death from cancer by 21 percent.

Low doses of aspirin may also block the growth and spread of breast cancer. The painkiller appears to prevent the creation of resistant stem cells that drive the disease.

Scientists from the University of Kansas made the claim after laboratory tests showed aspirin decreased the growth of two different breast cancer strains.

Danish researchers tracked the health of

•

just under 3,000 middleaged men after they were interviewed in 1971 about their health and lifestyle, including smoking and exercise, and given a check-up. They found that a high resting heart rate of greater than 90 could indicate an increased risk of early death, even in physically fit and healthy people. A fast-beating pulse at rest, taken when they had been inactive for at least five minutes, could as much as triple the chance of premature death. Previous research had found that middle-aged people whose resting heart rate goes up are more likely to die of heart disease.

Reflexology can reduce pain A study published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice has claimed that reflexology may be effective for pain control.

Researchers at Portsmouth University found that people who were asked to submerge their hand in ice water felt about 40 percent less pain, and were able to stand pain for about 45 percent longer,

A drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease could help the elderly make better decisions. The drug L-dopa, which is converted to dopamine in the brain, could help reverse part of the aging process, helping the old think like they did when they were younger.

This was reported in a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. It was noted that older volunteers who performed worst on the assigned task showed a significant improvement following drug treatment with L-dopa.

Freezing aids embryos Research conducted

by doctors at Aberdeen University has concluded that women had a lower risk of bleeding in pregnancy with embryos that had been frozen and thawed compared to those who had “fresh� embryos that had never been frozen. The previously frozen embryos also went on to have fewer preterm and low birth weight babies.

Doctors have developed a blood test for pregnant women that can detect 99 percent of Down’s syndrome babies without risking a miscarriage. A study showed that the Harmony prenatal test is highly accurate at a very early stage in pregnancy.

The test was recently made available in the U.S. for about $700.

Researchers identifying disease ‘switches’ In 30 papers recently published simultaneously in three of the world’s most respected journals, a global consortium of scientists has assigned an important function to roughly 80 percent of the human genome. It is work that promises an eventual revolution in the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Researchers claim that identifying the “switches� that are defective in particular diseases could bring new insights into the genetic basis of common disorders such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as suggesting new ways to manipulate gene action therapeutically in the treatment of such disorders.

While I know that short summaries like these do not give much detail, I hope you have found something here of interest.

Cheap razor made after P&G watches Indians shave NEW YORK (AP) — Procter & Gamble executives say it was striking the first time they witnessed a man shave while sitting barefoot on the floor in a tiny hut in India.

He had no electricity, no running water and no mirror.

The 20 U.S.-based executives observed the man in 2008 during one of 300 visits they made to homes in rural India. The goal? To gain insights they could use to develop a new razor for India. “That, for me, was a big ‘a-ha,’� said Alberto Carvalho, vice president, global Gillette, a unit of P&G. “I had never seen people shaving like that.�

Gillette had stumbled once before with its early version of the Vector in 2002. The version of that razor had a plastic push bar that slid down to unclog the razor.

The bar was added because Indian men have thicker hair and a higher hair density than their American counterparts. Adding to that, they often shave less frequently than American men, so they wind up shaving longer beards.

Gillette, which is based in Boston, wanted to test the product among Indian consumers before launching it, but instead of making the costly trip abroad, they had Indian students at nearby Massachusetts Institute of

Technology test the razor. “They all came back and said ‘Wow that’s a big improvement,’� Carvalho recalls.

But when Gillette launched the razor in India, the reaction was different. Executives were baffled about why the razor flopped until they traveled to India and observed men using a cup of water to shave. All the MIT students had running water. Without that, the razor stayed clogged. “That’s another ‘a-ha’ moment,� Carvalho said. “That taught us the importance that you really need to go where your consumers are, not just to talk to them, but observe and spend time with them to gather the key insight.�

NYC menu offers something new: Silence NEW YORK (AP) — Quiet, please. Your dinner will now be served.

That’s the message being sent to customers at a New York City restaurant that prohibits any talking during an occasionally put-on $40 prix fixe, four-course meal.

Nicholas Nauman, head chef at Eat in Brooklyn’s trendy Greenpoint neighborhood, said he was inspired to pitch the tight-lipped consumption sessions after spending time in India, where Buddhist monks take their breakfast without exchanging words. “It’s just an opportunity to enjoy food in a way you might not have otherwise,� said the chef, noting that the sounds of forks on dishes and cooks in the kitchen provide

some background noise to the experience. “There’s such a strong energy in the room.�

The silent-dining experience, experts said, seems to fit with other attention-getting shticks that many restaurant owners and chefs often resort to in the notoriously competitive restaurant business.

At Moto, in Chicago, diners can eat the menu. In Paris, London, Barcelona and Moscow, restaurant-goers at Dans le Noir? — French for “In the Dark?� — are served in the pitch-dark. And pop-up restaurants — where one chef takes over another’s restaurant for the night — have long been the rage. “As a mother of two 15-year-old boys it is kind of a fantasy to go do that,�

Tanya Steel, editor-in-chief

of Epicurious.com, said of the silent-dining experience at Eat. “But as someone who pays money to go out, I would feel like I’m in some kind of silent film; it would be incredibly difficult.�

At a recent evening at Eat, restaurant-goers didn’t seem to mind the silent treatment as they noshed on salads and sipped their soups.

One polite customer walked out the door to sneeze in order to avoid breaking the silence. Another could barely hold back a strong case of the giggles. And one couple found ways to communicate with facial expressions, instead of words. “It’s kind of like a meditation,� Eat owner Jordon Colon said. “The silence speaks for itself.�

Kid stars of ‘Mister & Pete’ show impressive LOS ANGELES (AP) — When working with spirited child actors, directors often keep a few tricks up their sleeves.

For George Tillman Jr., directing 14-year-old Skylan Brooks and 11-year-old Ethan Dizon, the stars of the new coming-of-age drama “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete,” meant encouraging them to match young Quvenzhane Wallis’ Oscar-nominated performance in “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”

“I told them that is how good I wanted them to be,” said Tillman in a recent interview. “That was the standard and they really met it head-on.”

Starring alongside Jennifer Hudson, Anthony Mackie, Jeffrey Wright and Jordin Sparks, the young actors offer emotional portrayals of Mister and Pete, two boys forsaken by their drug-addict mothers and left to fend for themselves through a sweltering summer in New York City.

Q. Jeff, I want to pour a sidewalk out to my detached garage but my brother says I can’t pour it on my existing ground. Is that right? Allen from Waterloo A. Allen, your brother is right. You don’t want to form and pour a sidewalk directly on the grass. First of all, you want to remove material such SQUARE as grass or CORNERS anything organic it will Jeff Deahl because decay over time and leave voids under the sidewalk making it settle unevenly.

If you have voids, the concrete is likely to crack and be uneven.

It is typical to dig out the grass and the first couple of inches of topsoil, tamp in a few inches of sand or gravel, then form and pour your sidewalk. If there are areas that need to be built up, then you want to either bring in pea gravel, crushed gravel or sand to build up the area and make it level for your new concrete.

Keep in mind that pea gravel is a self settling material and can simply be leveled off before your concrete project.

If you use crushed stone or sand, then you want to tamp these materials with either a hand tamp or a vibrating plate compactor so it doesn’t settle.

If you are filling in a foot or so, you want to tamp the gravel in 12” layers, 10”layers for sand and much thinner lifts if it is dirt, silt or clay.

If you compact the layers reasonably you can achieve pressure of 500 to 1,000 pounds per square foot. A 6” concrete slab weighs about 75 pounds per square foot and live loads, anything that is not part of a building structure such as vehicles, don’t exceed 50 pounds per square foot so a typical garage floor only needs to hold 125 pounds per square foot but again a properly tamped sand can hold thousands of pounds.

Slave tags speak volumes about U.S. history I frequently present my antiques appraisal events in the southern U.S. The region is rich in history and particularly the stories of the slave trade, the Civil War and the heroes of the 19th century come to life in objects from that region of America.

Small objects and keepsakes can say a lot about our history. A small item, a copper tag that was worn around the necks of some people of color known to be slaves during the late 18th century until the end of the Civil War, speaks volumes about the background of our union.

In Charleston, S.C., slave owners could rent out the services of their slaves to others for a fee.

The registration fee for slave tags brought income to the city of Charleston. To oversee the slave trade, slaves in Charleston were required to wear a slave tag or identification marker. Fees for the tags, like a license, were set based on the abilities and skills of the slave.

A serial number related to the individual slave. The tags further noted the slave’s occupation, and annual date of issue. By law,

the slave tag must be worn at all times during the calendar year marked on the tag. Most tags were made of copper by silversmiths or blacksmiths with a contract to make tags for the city.

An authentic slave tag included the city “Charleston” in raised lettering an arched ART & in shape at the top ANTIQUES of the tag near a punched out hole for the rope Dr. Lori to wear around the slave’s neck.

Most slave tags measured approximately 2 inches square and were worn in a diamond orientation. Tags included a one-word description of a slave’s skill such as “porter,” “servant,” “fisher,” or “huckster.” The tax year in raised numbers such as “1829” or “1841” was also found on authentic slave tags. Also, an authentic slave

•

tag had a unique serial number for one individual slave only.

Laws in place in the early 1800s allowed slave owners to hire out their slaves. These laws were in place in southern cities including Mobile, Norfolk, New Orleans and Savannah. But, the only southern city that had a strict regulatory method for keeping track of these slaves was Charleston.

One requirement known only to slaves in Charleston related to the use of slave tags, which are highly collectible today. Authentic slave tags command from $75 to $3,000 depending on condition, occupation noted on the slave tag and date of issue.

For a different bulb, try planting alliums Beautiful and sturdy with a flair for the dramatic, alliums are a graceful way to add color and architectural dimension to your garden.

With large globes of tiny white, purple, yellow or blue flowers that rise from bulbs on slender green stems as high as 4 feet tall, they look like giant, fluffy lollipops — something Willy Wonka would have planted in the Chocolate Factory garden.

Most bloom in late spring or early summer, so they fill the gap between spring bulbs and summer perennials.

They’re also easy to grow, and resistant to deer and many other pests.

“For people who are considering planting them, my advice is, don’t think twice. Do it,” says Michaela Lica Butler, a 38-year-old mother and gardener in Schweich, Germany, who has planted the giant, purple Globemaster allium for years.

of the trademark Globemasters found in Butler’s garden, there are dozens of varieties of ornamental alliums.

Try the shimmering white flowers of the Mount Everest allium, or the fuchsia with metallic undertones in the Stars of Persia variety, says Kim Fusaro, head gardener at the Mohonk Mountain House resort in New Paltz, N.Y. If you like the look but need something a bit shorter, Fusaro suggests the yellow shades of the moly Jeannine or the flavum alliums.

Looking to plant allium in a shady spot? Try the triquetrum, also known as three-cornered leeks, which bear delicate white flowers with shades of blue and a triangular stem.

Want something unusual?

The drumstick allium produces egg-size (and egg-shaped) heads in a rich burgundy color, while the bulgaricum blooms are creamy and bell-shaped with tinges of green and pink that hang from baseball-size flowerheads.

Varietes

Uses

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

While many people think

Alliums are typically

displayed best among perennials as a border plant, says Amy Dube, a bulb expert with Dig.Drop.

Done, a North American educational campaign promoting flowering bulbs.

They hide their leaves, which whither quickly, and don’t take up much space, giving room to quickly emerging perennials.

But don’t be afraid to use them elsewhere.

Hans Langeveld, co-owner of Longfield Gardens in Lakewood, N.J., recommends using some of the shorter, smaller varieties in rock gardens, where they can thrive in the well-drained pockets between rocks.

Some alliums can do well in containers, while the larger varieties are perfect for cutting gardens.

“They are gorgeous just by themselves, or paired with a large monstera or philodendron leaf or two in a simple glass,” says New York-based floral designer Rachel Cho. “They have really long stems that are very sturdy, so I like to keep them really tall.”

Butler likes to dry allium heads for centerpieces and even holiday decorations, spraying them white and

adding sparkles to make delicate winter snowballs.

Planting Alliums grow best in full sun, though some do well in part-sun or shade, and they prefer well-drained soil.

Plant them in the fall as you would any other spring-blooming bulb. Wait until the weather cools to allow them several weeks to develop a root system before the ground freezes, Langeveld says.

The bulbs should be planted at least 6 to 8 inches deep, even deeper for the larger bulbs, which can be the size of a tennis ball.

“The general rule of thumb is to plant bulbs three times the depth of the bulb itself, and then you just want to make sure that the root is facing down toward the soil,” Dube says.

She recommends spacing the smaller bulbs about 3 inches apart and the larger ones up to 8 inches apart.

Deer, squirrels and other garden pests don’t like the oniony taste of allium bulbs and will generally leave them alone.

AP

This photo provided by Dig.Drop.Done shows the Globemaster Allium, a hybrid that is bred for superior strength. Growing at heights up to 5 feet tall, it’s a show stopper. Beautiful and sturdy with a flair for the dramatic, alliums are a graceful way to add color and architectural dimension to your garden.

BANI Standard of the Week • Too often, undefined expectations create problems between builders and customers before, during and after their building and remodeling projects. Addressing some of the most prevalent issues, a set of Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of their projects against an industry-approved set of standards. These standards help eliminate problems before the project even begins.

In reviewing landscaping issues, it is generally the builder’s responsibility to establish the proper grades and swales, rough grading, finish grading, seeding and sodding. During the appropriate growing season (mid March to mid October), the homeowner bears considerable responsibility.

The homeowner is responsible for maintaining

such grades and swales once they have been established and delivered by the builder.

The establishment of the lawn, additional dirt work, reseeding, settling, erosion and down spout washout becomes the responsibility of the homeowner at the time of closing.

The builder should rake yard at the time of finish grading to remove from

LANDSCAPING the surface rocks which are slightly larger than golf ball size. Rocks will work their way to the surface, and the homeowner will need to pick up these rocks as they appear. A good quality seed (ie. fine blade perennial rye grass) should be used. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to purchase additional grass seed and to reseed needed areas as needed. The homeowner needs to allow a minimum of one year for sodded areas to blend with seeded areas. Even then a perfect blend may not occur.

As a precaution at the time of finish grading, the builder may spread straw over the yard in the seeded area for moisture protection during hot summer months or frost protection during cooler months. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to replace straw if it blows away as well as removal of straw once lawn is substantially established.

Watering the yard twice a day, early morning and late evening is suggested. The homeowner should water until about 1 inch of water has been put down. This can be measured by placing a soup can in the yard to catch water while watering.

Do not stop watering when grass starts to grow. The homeowner will need to continue watering for two to three months.

A starter fertilizer should be applied by the homeowner according to manufacturers instructions.

Homeowner should fertilize again in the next growing season with a high nitrogen fertilizer to promote root growth for a thick lawn.

Trees and shrubs require deep watering to reach their root systems. To accomplish this, turn the hose onto a trickle, and place at the base of the tree or shrub.

However, remember that landscaping can be very

delicate. The homeowner can get additional information on proper landscape maintenance from a local landscaper or county extension office.

When watering the lawn, keep the tree leaves out of the path of the sprinkler. Water sprinkled on leaves will act as a magnifying glass and burn the leaves, making it look like the tree died.

For more information about the Quality Assurance Builder Standards, contact the Builders Association of Northeast Indiana at 877-665-8921 for a list of builders who belong to the association and agree to adhere to the Quality Assurance Builder Standards.

Halloween parties for grown-ups THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Halloween, the holiday built around the twin pleasures of playing dress-up and eating too much candy, is obviously a hit with children.

But send invitations to your grown-up friends and you’ll probably find they haven’t outgrown the urge to don creepy costumes and celebrate in spooky, theatrical style.

Want to host a party that merges Halloween fun with grown-up sophistication?

Turning your home into a haunted mansion is surprisingly easy, says interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of Flynnside Out Productions.

Just ditch the cheerful orange pumpkins and smiling ghosts for darker, more creative décor.

“Stay away from anything cute,” Flynn says, “and instead opt for creepy-chic.”

Here Flynn and two other design experts — Jon Call of Mr. Call Designs and the latest “HGTV Star” winner, Tiffany Brooks — offer decorating advice for a memorable, stylish and affordable Halloween party.

AP

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn for HGTV.com, uses empty bottles (the labels were soaked off) and spray-painted them black, in Atlanta. He then used scrapbook labels to add new names (“Eye of Newt,” “Deadly Nightshade”), and then clustered them together on a sideboard.

Brian Patrick Flynn added pairs of black leather belts around the backs and the legs of dining room chairs to resemble straight jackets.

Natural fabrics Cheesecloth evokes ancient mummies, while burlap brings to mind scarecrows. Both fabrics are inexpensive and lightweight, but sturdy — perfect for Halloween party tablecloths.

These solid-color pieces also have a more adult feel than the whimsical prints on Halloween tablecloths or napkins designed for kids.

Call likes using large sheets of brown craft paper on buffet tables or as a runner down the center of a Halloween dining table.

Cluster small gourds (the darker and more oddly shaped, the better) along the runner, he says, then add a few large pillar candles.

Easily and inexpensively, “you’ve knocked out a table that’s great for any fall holiday,” Call says. And cleanup is simple: “After a party, throw the paper out.”

Flynn says you can make your home’s entryway extra creepy by soaking large pieces of cheesecloth in tea, then shredding the cloth once it’s dry. Hang the pieces from the ceiling above your porch or drape it from walls with a few well-placed nails to conjure up the feel of a haunted house.

AP AP

Brian Patrick Flynn shows a haunted-house entryway, with ripped pieces of cheesecloth that were soaked in weak tea, created by designer, Brian Patrick Flynn for HGTV.com, in Atlanta. Once dried, pieces can be draped from staples or small nails.

Start the party before your guests even enter your home.

Serious things

Dark and dangerous colors All three designers suggest using a muted palette of grays, browns and black. Brooks suggests spray-painting pumpkins glossy gray to create a glamorous centerpiece.

Use orange only as an accent, Flynn says, perhaps adding a few orange napkins to an otherwise black and gray table setting.

You can also create

or flea markets. Halloween stores sell deliberately creepy portraits made for this purpose, but it’s more fun to hunt down real paintings, says Flynn.

Brooks agrees that this easy decorating move can transform the feel of a room, especially if the room will be lit only by candles. (She plans to shut off her electricity entirely during a Halloween party this year, filling each room with just enough black pillar candles to provide dim, flickering light.)

Once you’ve hung your new gallery of portraits, Flynn suggests taping tiny pieces of black construction paper over the eyeballs in the pictures for a haunted mansion feel.

AP

Brian Patrick Flynn shows bare branches, spray-painted black and secured in vases with gravel, floral foam and a layer of moss, that make a stunning and inexpensive Halloween centerpiece.

a dramatic scene by spray-painting empty wine bottles in a matte black, he says, then replacing the labels with your own creations: Using scrapbooking labels or cardstock and a Sharpie, come up with creepy names

for the liquids supposedly in the bottles.

Flynn also suggests buying inexpensive wooden birdhouses or cheap Christmas village houses, then spraying them with dark gray or black paint to create

a mini-ghost town for display on your buffet table or bar.

Weird walls Take down any cheerful artwork and replace it with old portraits from thrift shops

Flynn also recommends trolling thrift shops and flea markets for items that evoke dusty, dated Victorian style, or midcentury pieces that seem lifted from a ’60s Hitchcock movie.

Fill old apothecary jars and other glass containers with water tinted with yellow and green food coloring to suggest formaldehyde. Then drop anything — tiny plastic animals, seed pods, bits of moss — into the colorful liquid. Or create terrariums by

filling glass vases with twigs, moss, and tiny plastic bugs and snakes.

Seek out second-hand treasures: real or fake taxidermy, stone bust bookends, antique dolls and toys, and vintage books and laboratory or surgical equipment.

If you’re lucky, you might even come across some old mannequin heads. What was once a wig display can serve as an eye-popping Halloween centerpiece.

Other inexpensive additions to your party space: Fill vases with bare branches spray-painted black, tying a few small bats from a craft store to the limbs.

Flynn also suggests slipping belts around the backs of chairs to suggest that dinner guests may not escape the table easily.

And Brooks recommends using a hodgepodge of mismatched and even scratched dishes from thrift shops (cleaned well, of course) to give your table an off-kilter, haunted house feel.

A finishing touch to inspire Halloween guests: “One of my neighbors here is an actor,” says Brooks, who lives in Antioch, Ill. “So she’s going to come in as a guest and get the conversation going in a creepy direction.”

Prairie gardens work in many landscapes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You don’t need to live on the prairie to have a prairie garden. Natural landscapes featuring mainly native plants are being sown in yards across North America as environmentally friendly alternatives to turf grass.

These durable plant combinations include flowers, shrubs and trees.

They require little attention, add year-round color and interest and provide wildlifefriendly habitat.

“Many species found in prairies are native to other plant communities found outside the Midwest, such as woodland openings, meadows and barrens, as well as mountain and desert habitats,” says Lynn Steiner of Stillwater, Minn., author of “Prairie Style Gardens” (Timber Press. 2010). “And even if these plants aren’t native to your area, they are still often better choices than exotic plants that come from outside North America.”

City and suburban

gardens often aren’t large enough to support meadows, but many prairie plants adapt well to smaller spaces, she said.

“They tolerate less fertile soils, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.

They thrive on less water, reducing water use. And they don’t require heavy fossil-fuel input from mowing and trimming,” Steiner said in an email.

Margaret Brittingham, an extension wildlife specialist with Penn State University, said it takes some effort to get prairie plants established “but once done, they’re easy to handle.”

“They’re great for attracting birds and butterflies,” she said. “You can use them for cut flowers, too.”

To keep neighbors happy and win official approval from municipalities, make the conversion from lawn to meadow look tended and not unkempt, Brittingham said.

Some design suggestions:

— Create borders using hedges, mowed edges, low fences or walkways.

They act as buffers, keep plants from obstructing sight lines and frame an otherwise natural landscape, Brittingham said.

— Start small. Save money by converting from turf to meadow in manageable yet visible pieces. First, eliminate any trouble spots on the lawn, and then expand gradually, mimicking nature’s processes of gradual succession.

— Find the right plants for the right sites. Don’t plant sun-loving prairie flowers under shade trees, or plants that like their feet dry in low spots that collect run-off.

— Go native. Non-native species generally have less wildlife value, Brittingham said, and are often invasive, eliminating many native species. Check the noxious weed control lists issued for your area and ensure that

none are included among the seeds you sow or in the containers you plant.

— Help spread the word.

Draw a map of your natural landscape and make it available through brochures placed around your yard.

“You might even include a listing of the plants you used and where you got them,” Brittingham said.

— Humanize the project. Add yard art or something personal and whimsical, Steiner said.

“For accent and embellishment, rusted iron sculptural pieces blend nicely with the casual look of a prairie landscape. Sundials are nice additions to gardens featuring these sun-loving plants. Birdbaths made of ceramic or stone are practical as well as beautiful.”

By illustrating that your landscape is cared for and designed intentionally, you’ll show that you haven’t just allowed “weeds” to take over, Steiner said.

AP

This Sept. 14, 2009 photo shows Bill Carter, president of Prairie Moon Nursery, amid an assortment of prairie flowers sown in a nearby farmyard near Winona, Minn.

Many of these seeded perennials need two or three years to reach blooming size but really take off once established.
