Detainees from the Steuben County Jail head to their hearings in Steuben County courts on Monday afternoon. A recent report from the Indiana Supreme Court said Steuben County had

more felony case fi lings in 2012 though fewer misdemeanor cases. It was part of an 1,800-page report presented on Indiana courts on Monday.

BY AMY OBERLINaoberlin@kpcmedia.com

Steuben County saw a slightly increased fi ling of felony cases in 2012 and fewer misdemeanors and infractions than the year before.

The 2012 Indiana Judicial Service Report and Probation Report released Monday by the Indiana Supreme Court details the 1.6 million new cases fi led in the Indiana trial courts during 2012.

In the Steuben Circuit Court,

essentially the same number of cases were fi led as were disposed of from 2011 to 2012, around 2,140. The same held true in Steuben Superior Court, which handled around 2,900 new cases and disposed of around 2,900 cases. The Steuben Superior Court takes in more of the misdemeanor cases — such as operating while intoxicated and check deception.

It also handled 560 infrac-

ORLAND — A fi re east of Lake Gage took the life of a local woman at about 3 p.m. Wednesday, offi cials report.

The blaze in a mobile home in the 5200 block of North C.R. 550W in Millgrove Township on property owned by Stephen Bachelor claimed the life of Sandra (Hart) Campbell, 73, Angola.

The fi re broke out at about 2:30 p.m., said Sheriff Tim Troyer. Fire departments from Orland and Fremont were dispatched initially, along with sheriff’s deputies.

When emergency crews arrived, they found the mobile home completely engulfed in fl ames. Once it was extinguished, fi refi ghters found Campbell inside the structure. Steuben County Coroner Bill Harter ruled the cause of death as smoke inhalation.

As of Wednesday evening, offi cials had yet to determine an exact cause of the fi re, though it has been ruled accidental.

“We’re working in conjunction with the state fi re marshal and the coroner, of course,” Troyer said. “They’ve got some ideas of the

WASHINGTON (AP) — Electability and pragmatism won. Ideology and rigidity lost.

In Democratic-leaning New Jersey, voters gave Republican Chris Christie a second term and rewarded him for his bipartisan, get-it-done, inclusive pitch. In swing state Virginia, voters narrowly rejected Republican Ken Cuccinelli’s uncompromising, conservative approach.

If there’s a lesson from Tuesday’s off-year elections, it might be that during a time of deep divisions within the Republican Party, staunchly conservative GOP candidates who press ideological positions have diffi culty winning general elections in competitive states. Candidates with mainstream appeal like Christie in New Jersey and Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia can overcome obstacles

that might trip up others.Christie, in a victory speech

aimed at national Republicans, said Americans “angry with their dysfunctional government in Washington” could look to his state as a model for getting things done.

“I know that if we can do this in Trenton, New Jersey, maybe the folks in Washington, D.C., should tune in their TVs right now,” Christie said. “See how it’s done.”

Christie trounced his Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barbara Buono, offering a template for Republicans who want to win and attract a broad coalition of voters. His re-elec-tion, the largest by a Republican governor in New Jersey since

FROM STAFF REPORTSANGOLA — Steuben

County Sheriff Tim Troyer announced his intent to fi le for re-election Wednesday afternoon.

If elected, it will be Troyer’s second term in offi ce. Under Indiana law, only two straight terms in offi ce are allowed for sheriffs. Troyer, a Republican, served as sheriff for about fi ve months in 2002, fi lling out the remainder of the term of Sheriff Joel Working, who died in July of that year.

Filing for the May 2014 Indiana primary begins on Jan. 8.

“I promised you a commitment to public service, and I have worked hard to deliver on that promise,” Troyer said in a prepared statement. “The goals that I set out to accomplish in 2011

have been completed, and I am constantly alert to the community and its changing needs. This commit-ment has never been stronger, and I will continue to seek ways to make Steuben County a safe place to live, work and raise a family.”

Of his accomplishments in offi ce, Troyer said he:

• brought the sex and violent offender registry up from 20 percent to 100 percent in accuracy and compliance.

• restructured the detective division, creating a proactive team of deputies who are aggressive in prevention and solving

crime.• created a multi-juris-

dictional child abduction response team, which is fully trained and prepared in the event of a missing child;

• educated the public through a variety of programs;

• modernized and stream-lined the department’s public information system;

• created a partnership with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency;

• restructured the Marine Patrol and use of Lake and River Enhancement grant funding, resulting in two consecutive years of no major boating accidents and no drownings;

• developed a partnership with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to better serve on and around the lakes;

• created, with school offi cials, a schedule of both

uniformed and plainclothes patrols in and around local schools; and,

• partnered with the Steuben County Building Department, creating proactive patrols to reduce thefts of metals, building materials and irrigation systems.

“Since taking offi ce three years ago as your elected sheriff, I have been able to implement many of the goals I have developed over my 27 years in the sheriff’s offi ce. These accomplish-ments were made to better serve you, as taxpayers and members of our community,” Troyer said.

Troyer has extensive law enforcement training, including graduating from the 1999 FBI Law Enforce-ment Academy.

He currently serves as treasurer of the Indiana Sheriff’s Association.

School referendum passes in Goshen, fails in Mishawaka

GOSHEN — Voters in Goshen Community School Corp. approved a $17.15 million construction project Tuesday.

The Goshen News reports the measure passed by a vote of 2,099 to 1,341. It was the only one of four referendums around the state that passed Tuesday night.

Sixty-nine percent of those voting were against the Mishawaka district’s $28 million construction referendum, the South Bend Tribune reports.

For homeowners, it would have meant an extra $105 annually for a residence valued at $100,000.

Woman donates $50,000 to school

ELKHART (AP) — A woman who credits her elementary school teachers with helping her overcome learning problems as a youngster has donated nearly $50,000 to the school for a technology upgrade.

The donation from Ashley Martin and the Martin Family Foundation will pay to equip Riverview Elementary School in Elkhart with interactive, computerized blackboards known as smartboards.

Martin tells The Elkhart Truth she hasn’t forgotten the Riverview teachers who helped her through some learning diffi culties when she was an elementary school student. She says those teachers “helped me a lot when I was younger.”

Stepmom of Gary boy kept in dog cage loses appeal

CROWN POINT (AP) — The Indiana Court of Appeals has upheld the 35-year neglect sentence for a Gary woman in the death of a stepson who was starved, beaten and kept in a dog cage.

The Times of Munster reports the appeals panel decided 3-0 Wednesday to reject Kimberly Kubina’s claims including the judge ignored the woman’s mental illness and remorse and failed to consider her suffering as a victim of spousal abuse.

Court records indicate the now 48-year-old Kubina witnessed husband Riley Choate’s attacks and torment upon his 13-year-old son, Christian, but never informed police or tried to obtain medical help for the boy. The boy’s body was recovered from a shallow grave in May 2011, more than two years after his death. Riley Choate is serving an 80-year sentence.

November is Military Family Month.

The YMCA encourages everyone to recognize the sacrifi ces that military members and their families make in service to our country.

First established by the Armed Services YMCA and recognized by fi rst lady Nancy Reagan in 1993, Military Family Month recognizes the dedication and service of military personnel and their families.

On Oct. 30, 2009, President Barack Obama continued this important initiative by proclaiming November as Military Family Month, calling on “all Americans to honor military families through private actions and public

service for the tremendous contribu-tions they make in the support of our service members and our nation.”

Military Family Month provides all Americans the opportu-nity to recognize the dedica-tion,

sacrifi ce and service of military personnel and their families. The YMCA of Steuben County recognizes military families this November and all year

round by bringing families together to have fun, grow, strengthen their relation-ships and build connections with other families waiting at home. The YMCA of Steuben County supports military families by offering Y memberships through the Military Outreach Initiative.

As a leading nonprofi t dedicated to strength-ening our community through youth develop-ment, healthy living and social responsibility, the YMCA of Steuben County offers the following tips to help children of military families in Steuben County and the surrounding area cope while loved ones serve overseas.

• Avoid the countdown: Try not to focus on the

expected homecoming date of a loved one serving overseas as these dates can change. Instead, emphasize how mom or dad will be home once the work is done.

• Give a geography lesson: Using maps and books to learn more about the place or region where the parent is stationed will empower the child and provide some comfort.

• Family ties that bind: Help the child stay connected during separation by building holiday care packages for the parent and taking advantage of services like United Through Reading that videotapes a parent reading their child’s favorite book or the Armed Services YMCA’s

Operation Kid Comfort program that provides a personally handcrafted quilt or pillow.

• Monitor the media: News stories can scare or alarm children, keep an eye on the child’s media exposure and be prepared to answer questions prompted by what they see and hear.

• Take advantage of the Internet: Utilize Facebook, Skype and other chat services to keep in touch with the parent in real-time. This will let the child know their parent is safe while providing important bonding time.

KRISTA MILLER is the CEO of the YMCA of Steuben County.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — The withdrawing U.S. military is destroying most of the equipment it is leaving behind in Afghanistan after 13 years of war, selling the scrap for millions of dollars to those willing to buy it.

The policy stands in stark contrast to the Americans’ withdrawal from Iraq, when they donated or sold still-us-able items worth about $100 million.

The equipment is being trashed, U.S. offi cials say, because of fears that anything left behind in Afghanistan could fall into the hands of insurgents and used to make bombs.

Leaving it behind also saves the U.S. billions of dollars in transportation costs.

Afghans are angry at the policy, arguing that even furniture and appliances that could improve their lives is being turned into useless junk.

“They use everything while they are here, and then they give it to us after breaking it,” said Mohammed Qasim, a junk dealer in the volatile southern province of Kandahar. He gestured toward the large yellow frame of a gutted generator, saying it would have been more useful in somebody’s home, given the lack of electricity in the area.

US leaves junk behind

NEW YORK (AP) — There weren’t any major economic developments or blockbuster earnings. But that didn’t stop investors from pushing the Dow Jones industrial average to another record Wednesday.

Instead, investors focused on the big economic news yet to come this week — third-quarter U.S. economic growth on Thursday and the October jobs report Friday. Both reports could signal how much longer the Federal Reserve will continue its $85 billion a month in bond purchases. That program has held down interest rates, kept bond yields low and made stocks more attractive for investors.

The Dow notched its 33rd record close for the year, rising to 15,746.88 with some help from Microsoft, which rose after analysts at Nomura said investors should focus on how the company’s fortunes could improve once it picks a replacement for CEO Steve Ballmer.

Microsoft shares gained $1.54, or 4.2 percent, to close at $38.18 after the report from Nomura, which also raised its price target for the company.

Other indexes also gained, but not as much.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index also went up, but not quite enough to set another record. The Nasdaq composite and the Russell 2000, an index of small-company stocks, edged lower. The patchy performance of the overall market suggests that investors may be getting wary of stocks after this year’s strong gains, said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ.

Stovall said he did not think the market’s advance was in danger of being derailed, but said “investors are still a little bit nervous.”

The Dow climbed 128.66 points, or 0.8 percent. The S&P 500 index rose 7.52, or 0.4 percent, to 1,770.49, just one point below its all-time high set Oct. 29. It’s up 24 percent so far this year.

The Nasdaq composite fell 7.92 points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,931.95.

Dow hitsrecord for33rd time

A recent Evansville case reminds us how important it is to be watchful of construction sites and runoff.

State regulators ordered a southwestern Indiana developer to halt work on part of a housing subdivision because construc-tion runoff has damaged a stream and wetland area, said a news story distrib-uted by the Associated Press.

Too many times in northeast Indiana we have seen instances where construc-tion projects great and small have lacked proper measures to contain soil on a job site. And if a rainfall like we experi-enced last week comes rolling through, soil can go washing away to our streams, rivers, wetlands and lakes in almost an instant.

Too many times we have seen our waterways turned milk chocolate brown by careless contractors. Projects will lack silt fencing or straw bale barriers intended to keep soil on a job site. Once it ends up in a lake, it is diffi cult to remove. The same holds true for rivers and streams, which carry the sediment and pollution that may be attached to soil particles downstream.

Too many times we have seen damage done to our lakes and nothing takes place, or erosion control measures are put into place after the fact.

In the Evansville case, the Indiana Department of Environmental Manage-ment and the Army Corps of Engineers have ordered Dan Buck of Dan Buck Homes Inc. to either restore disturbed waterways or receive permits for the damage. Indiana has also ordered Buck to cease construction work in the immediate stream and wetland area of the develop-ment.

Unfortunately, in Indiana we don’t have runoff police. And we don’t have many teeth when it comes to enforcing erosion laws. In the Evansville case, the state became involved after a neighbor complained dirt and debris from the subdivision’s construction had washed onto her property and damaged a private lake.

Resident Barbara Bolin told the Evansville Courier & Press the lake “looks like a cappuccino now” and is fi lled with debris.

Does that sound familiar?In this part of the state, a construc-

tion project often does not need permits when only earth work is taking place. Consequently, a community can end up with a large project where earth moving takes place unchecked. Many contrac-tors, especially those from states where a variety of local agencies enforce erosion control laws, will make sure the proper erosion control tools are used. Others will not.

Because of the lack of enforcement, the public has to be vigilant when it comes to reporting erosion problems from construction sites. Call your local drainage board. Call your local plan commission. Call the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Call IDEM.

Until the Legislature puts some actual teeth in Indiana’s erosion control law, it is up to the public to protect our precious water resources.

Public must police

Our View•

“Let’s be honest. Drug abuse is not a law enforce-ment problem, it’s a societal problem.”

That’s how Kendallville Police Chief Rob Wiley introduced Tuesday night’s town hall meeting on the drug problem plaguing the community.

“When we come in contact with individuals with drug problems a lot of things have already happened in their lives,” he told about 50 people attending the one-hour session. “Let’s be honest again. There is no magic solution.”

There is hope if citizens are serious about combating the illegal use and sales of drugs and the crimes that are caused by drug abuse. Citizens can help law enforcement by reporting suspicious activity. “Don’t be afraid to call, and don’t think it’s probably not something to report,” Wiley said.

Kendallville police offi cer Doug Davis, the police depart-ment’s methamphetamine lab cleanup specialist, and Noble County chief deputy prosecutor

James Mowry joined Wiley to emphasize the importance of tips to police about suspicious drug activity.

In a 34-page publication “Let’s All Work to Fight Drug Abuse” provided by the Kendallville Police Depart-ment, Wiley states: “For us to make any signifi cant impact on drug and alcohol abuse it will take a cooperative effort between law enforcement, families, schools and treatment programs.”

Wiley described how a concerned citizen’s tip led to police shutting down one of the largest meth manufac-turing operations ever seen in Kendallville.

On July 30 the Indiana Multi Agency Group Enforcement Drug Task Force raided a house in the 400 block of Pleasant Street, and arrested Heath A. Smith, 34, of Kendallville on felony drug charges. Police called him “the General” because he was in charge of the meth production business and the decision-making process. Smith was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

This criminal operation would not have been closed down without the help of information from the public, according to Wiley.

The discus-sion turned to methamphet-amine. Citing 2012 national statistics, Wiley said an estimated 4.2 million

Americans or 4 percent of the population say they have tried meth. Why meth? It’s easy to make with household ingredi-ents. It used to be when meth cooks had to use anhydrous ammonia and make meth on stoves, the fumes could be detected a block away.

Today meth cooks use the one-pot method, manufac-turing meth in plastic soft drink containers. The new recipe allows them to make meth in cars and the waste products are thrown out along the roadsides.

In February 2012 the largest meth bust in Mexico’s history happened on a ranch near Guadalajara. Row after row of powder-fi lled barrels held 15 tons of meth, adding up to 13 million doses worth $4 billion on the streets.

Possible signs of meth lab activity are strong chemical odors, a large number of cold medicines and household chemicals like drain opener, lye and paint thinner, rubber tubing and plastic bottles. This trash contains dangerous waste chemicals. Anyone fi nding meth trash should not touch it but call police.

Meth cooks often operate in abandoned buildings. Anyone observing windows that are always covered, frequent late-night activity and occupants who are secretive and behave strangely should call police.

Keeping people out of the drug culture is the key, according to Wiley.

Police chief: Concerned citizens can help fi ght meth

I am working from Boston this week, fi lling in as best I can for our daughter, Dorothy, a marine biologist who is working in Stockholm, Sweden, this week. My main job is being Mormor (Norwegian for “mother’s mother”) to Jane, 2, and Nora, 8 months.

Dorothy and Simon Dankel live and work in Bergen. But this year they are in the U.S. for Simon’s work at The Joslin Diabetes Center, a Harvard affi liate.

Every morning Simon bikes to work with Jane in the bike seat behind him. He drops her off at a Montessori school and picks her up at 5 p.m. on his way home.

Tuesday, while Nora took her morning nap, I opened my email and saw a message reminding me that November is American Diabetes Month.

The press release from an organization called Healthyroads said, “Chances are that you or someone close to you has diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in nine U.S. adults has diabetes … Healthyroads urges everyone to be aware of diabetes’ warning signs and take steps to prevent type 2 diabetes. While symptoms vary by person, some common signs of diabetes include urinating often; excessive thirst; excessive hunger; unusual tiredness; blurry vision.”

Hmmm, I thought, sounds like me — but the causes probably are too much coffee, being a Mormor for active granddaughters and not being able to fi nd my glasses.

The press release continued, “If you have these symptoms, go to your doctor and get your blood sugar tested.”

A few weeks ago I had the regular blood

tests and everything looked great … well, OK, anyway.

The press released continued, “If you have a family history of type 2 diabetes or have prediabetes, here are three tips to help you prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.”

1. Get physically active for at least 30 minutes a day, fi ve days a week. For motivation, ask a friend to join you.

2. Lose weight. If you’re overweight, losing fi ve to seven percent of your body weight can help reduce your risk. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, fi ve percent of your body weight is 10 pounds. Talk to your doctor or a health coach about strategies to lose weight.

3. Eat and drink healthy. Choose water over sugary drinks, and eat smaller portions.

Those tips are similar to Simon’s basic advice for decreasing the chance of developing type 2 diabetes:

1. Base your meals on whole, unrefi ned ingredients, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh meats and fi sh, and whole grain products.

2. Avoid white fl our and sugar.3. Consume quality fats such as olive

oil, canola oil, butter and coconut oil to ensure good hunger control and optimal fat burning.

4. Eat more eggs. (Simon believes that for most people the cholesterol in food is not harmful. Egg yolk provides many important nutrients, such as Vitamin D.)

Simon advises everyone to consult with a doctor, but he believes that improving one’s dietary habits and level of physical activity will reduce or even remove the need for medication.

Simon’s team is focusing on the genetics behind type 2 diabetes. New research shows:

• The “bad” bacteria from the gut of a mouse with diabetes can be transferred to a healthy mouse’s gut … and cause type 2

diabetes.• Fat cells can turn into energy burning,

muscle-like cells called “brown fat” cells. If you live in a very cold climate, keep your house very cold and/or exercise, you increase your “brown fat” cells.

• “Brown fat” cells provide protection from type 2 diabetes.

• The brain is a key to health. For example, people’s brains are genetically pre-disposed to give signals that a person is “full” and should stop eating. The brains of people with type 2 diabetes may not be providing the proper signals to the body’s organs.

• Genetics and the mother’s diet during pregnancy can infl uence the brain’s wiring regarding these signals.

But don’t let your mother’s diet or “bad genes” discourage you. Research indicates that enjoying wholesome food, an active lifestyle and quality sleep may prevent, postpone or reverse type 2 diabetes in spite of those pesky genes.

Simon Dankel takes his daughter Jane, 2, to her Montessori school on his way to work at the The Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans blistered Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday over the nation’s controversial health care law, bluntly challenging her honesty, pushing for her resignation and demanding unsuccessfully she concede that President Barack Obama deliberately misled the public about his signature domestic program.

“We’re not in it to just give you a rough time. We’re in it to try and hopefully get it right,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, at a hearing where Republicans — all of whom had voted against “Obamacare” — focused on the program’s fl awed sign-up website as well as costs, policy cancellations, security concerns and other issues.

During two hours in the Senate Finance Committee witness chair, Sebelius parried some thrusts and listened impassively to others. Treated more gently by Democrats than Republicans, she said at one point: “Clearly the opposition is still quite ferocious, and I’m just hoping that people understand what their options are, what their benefits could be and what their opportunities are.”

She offered few if any concessions about a program she pointedly observed “passed both houses of Congress, was signed by the president and upheld by the Supreme Court.”

Nor did she provide much in the way of new information about the launch of a website that she has conceded was deeply fl awed. She disclosed that the so-called punch list for

repairs had included “a couple of hundred functional fi xes” at the time the administration launched its urgent rescue mission last month.

Even now, she said, “we’re not where we need to be.”

She added that the web portal now is handling large volumes of material with fewer errors. However, as she testified, the website, www.healthcare.gov ., was running sluggishly, with some users encountering difficulty and others receiving error messages.

Republican criticism and questions have turned in recent days into other areas, some blending policy and politics.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, one of Sebelius’ most aggressive questioners, read aloud from a page of the White House website that says: “If you like your plan, you can keep it and you don’t have to

change a thing due to the health care law.”

Turning to Sebelius, he said, “Well, we know that lying to Congress is a crime, but unfortunately lying to the American people is not. I’d just like to ask you a simple true-or-false question. Is that statement on the White House website true or is it false?” Sebelius said, “Sir, I think the statement is that. …” before Cornyn cut her off.

“Is it true or is it false, Madame Secretary?” he asked.

She said “a vast majority” of people who are insured through their jobs would keep their plans and “a majority” of the 11 million in the individual market will keep plans with stronger coverage while others will “have to choose of a plan that they no longer get medically underwritten. …”

Sebelius takes GOP heat

tions, mostly traffi c tickets written by law enforce-ment offi cers, cases that are generally venued in the Magistrate Court. Angola City Police forward their traffi c tickets to the Steuben County Courthouse, but the majority of traffi c violations are handled by the Fremont Town Court.

“That’s up to the offi cers’ discretion,” said Steuben County Prosecutor Michael Hess. If an infraction is written in conjunction with a criminal offense, the case will be in the county courts.

Traffi c court busy

Deputy prosecutor Travis Musser does traffi c trials once a month in the Fremont Court, for those tickets that are not disposed of through just paying the fi ne and an admission or a pretrial diversion.

“There’s always quite a few people up there,” Musser said. From his work, he said activity has remained steady in the Fremont traffi c court over the past several years.

In 2012, a total of 7,891 civil infractions were fi led in the Steuben County courts along with 2,699 ordinance violations; 7,331 infrac-tions and all the ordinance violations were dealt with in the Fremont Town Court. Of those, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department wrote 759 traffi c citations. Other town police agencies and the Indiana State Police —

including traffi c patrol on the Indiana Toll Road — also fi le charges.

The Fremont Town Court disposed of 10,552 cases in 2012 and just over 10,000 cases were fi led. That may account for part of the decrease shown in the Supreme Court statistics. In 2011, 14,771 new civil violations were logged in the Steuben courts, 78 percent of the caseload. In 2012, the civil violations were 70 percent of the overall caseload.

Offi cers’ duties vary

That fl uctuation could be due to a number of factors that year, said Indiana State Police Public Information Offi cer Ron Galaviz.

“Tickets are one facet of what we do,” he noted. Often offi cers are consumed by other duties and manpower can vary depending on hires, transfers and retirements. Galaviz said Steuben County’s district did not see any major changes in state police patrols during 2012.

On the criminal end, Hess said there were fewer misdemeanor cases and more felonies — 536 fi led in 2011 and 544 in 2012.

“I think the police are doing a better job of investi-gation and we are fi ling more counts,” said Hess. “We look at the case very carefully before we fi le it.”

Sixty-two percent, or 833 cases, were misdemeanors, and 21 percent were Class D

felonies, the lowest felony count that takes in cases such as theft and operating while intoxicated with a prior. Only 10 cases were the highest felony, a Class A. In Steuben County, Hess said those Class A felony cases have largely refl ected child molesting and metham-phetamine labs. One murder case was fi led in July. It was one of 235 murder cases fi led in Indiana in 2012.

Very few jury trials

When 2012 opened, there were a total of 8,153 cases pending in Steuben County’s courts. There were 7,660 cases pending on Dec. 31, 2012. When the year ended, there had been 15,136 civil, criminal and juvenile case fi lings. A total of 15,653 cases were disposed during the year; only seven of them by jury trial. Six of those trials were held in Steuben Superior Court. Six were resolved by a bench trial before a Steuben County judge.

Statewide, jury trials occurred in only .1 percent of cases in 2012. The majority of dispositions statewide — 17.4 percent — were through guilty pleas and admissions or were traffi c violations — 19 percent.

Of the cases pending in Steuben County through 2012, 1,232 were dismissed, 667 were deferrals and 9,468 included guilty pleas — 60 percent. Pauper counsel was used by 857 defendants.

COURT: Fremont handles most traffi c court casesFROM PAGE A1

1985, could help him make a case for governing as a conservative without ceding the political middle ahead of a possible presidential bid.

In Virginia, McAuliffe held off a late charge by Cuccinelli in a polarizing campaign that exposed liabilities that could drag down both parties next year: President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul for Democrats and a partial government shutdown for Republicans. McAuliffe is a longtime friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, giving the former secretary of state an important ally should she seek the White House again.

In Republican-friendly Alabama, Bradley Byrne, a lawyer backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, defeated tea party-backed candidate Dean Young in a special GOP primary to succeed retiring Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Ala. Byrne will be the heavy favorite in December to hold onto the congressional seat and gives business groups a victory over the tea party.

Far from the intensity of a presidential campaign, the low-turnout elections don’t offer a greater meaning into the nation’s political psyche. But Virginia and New Jersey often give parties clues to the electorate’s mood heading into congressional elections.

The backdrop was a partial government shutdown triggered partly by tea party demands and a clunky rollout by the Obama administration of the health care law.

In Virginia, exit polls showed that about a third of voters said they were personally affected by the government shutdown, and those who were broke for McAuliffe by nearly 20 points. But Cuccinelli held a narrow edge among those who said health care was their top issue and 53 percent of all Virginia voters said they opposed the health care overhaul passed in 2010. Tea party leaders and social conservatives said the state attorney general’s vociferous opposition to the health care law narrowed the gap — even though it didn’t overcome a fundraising disadvantage.

“This has got to be a real wakeup call for the Obama White House and Democrats in general,” said Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition. “If the tail of the Obamacare meltdown could have this kind of impact … then I think they need to be really

concerned about the red state Democratic seats” in the 2014 Senate elections.

Democrats said McAuliffe’s victory — the fi rst in Virginia by a member of the same party holding the White House in nearly four decades — could provide a roadmap for governors’ races in 2014 featuring Republican incumbents in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

“Virginia is a harbinger for what a challenge the tea party governors are going to have — a referendum on their policies,” said Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.

Both New Jersey and Virginia offered overtones for the 2016 presidential race.

Christie’s advisers were quick to point out that the governor won a majority of women and boosted his support among black and Latino voters, showing that he could compete for voters who comprise Obama’s coalition.

For Democrats, the election may make some wonder if Buono is this year’s version of Garry Mauro, the Texas Democrat who lost to George W. Bush in a lopsided governor’s race in 1998. Some Democrats regretted not competing more aggressively against Bush, who captured the GOP nomination and won the White House in 2000.

But it remains to be seen if Christie’s conserva-

tive-yet-pragmatic approach can win over Republicans in places like Iowa and South Carolina, where party loyalists may be skeptical of his post-superstorm Sandy alliance with Obama and his commitment to conserva-tives on social issues.

Democrats’ win in Virginia gives a boost to the Clinton campaign model of attracting moderates and business-oriented voters while driving turnout among women. McAuliffe’s narrow victory rested on a 9-point edge among women and could offer Democratic candidates in 2014 a case study for winning in swing-voting territory — especially if Obama’s support is weakened.

Christie and McAuliffe both outspent their opponents by large margins and aired tough TV ads months before the election to negatively defi ne their opponents, stealing a page from Obama’s playbook against Republican Mitt Romney. No matter the election, the tactics matter.

“We shouldn’t lose focus on the fundamentals,” said Republican strategist Martin Baker, a former adviser to Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign. He said the races are “textbook examples that money and mechanics remain critical to a successful campaign.”

Komets lose to IceMen, 6-3

EVANSVILLE — The Fort Wayne Komets coughed up a 3-1 lead and were taken to school in a 6-3 loss to the host Evansville IceMen in a rare Wednesday morning game.

The game started at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. A crowd of 5,266 included Evansville-area elementary students as part of “education day.”

The Komets (2-3-0-2) took a 3-1 lead midway through the second period on two power-play goals by Mickey Lang and an even-strength tally by Scott Fleming. Defenseman Jace Coyle had three assists for Fort Wayne.

The IceMen (5-1-0-0) rallied with fi ve unanswered goals — four in the third period. Matt Krug’s goal with 12:43 to play proved to be the game-winner.

The Komets were outshot 29-24. Goalie Cody Reichard made 23 saves.

Fort Wayne hosts Wheeling at 8 p.m. Saturday.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Luis Scola, Donald Sloan and Lance Stephenson accounted for all the points in a decisive 12-2 run, thwarting a late charge by the Chicago Bulls and sending the Indiana Pacers, the NBA’s last unbeaten team, to an 97-80 victory Wednesday night.

The Pacers are 5-0 for the fi rst time since 1971-72. Paul George had 21 points and six rebounds to lead Indiana, while David West had a season-high 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Luol Deng and Derrick Rose scored 17 points each to lead Chicago (1-3). Rose scored only three points in the second half.

For three quarters, it was topsy-turvy. Then, with Chicago leading 67-65 with 8:38 left, things changed quickly.

Sloan hit a 17-footer to tie the score. Stephenson gave Indiana the lead with a 3-pointer. Scola

followed that with consecutive baskets and Stephenson closed the run with another 3 to make it 77-69. The Bulls never seriously challenged again.

After missing all seven shots he took in the fi rst half, Stephenson fi nished with 15 points — all but three coming in the fi nal 12 minutes of a game that looked

more like a 15-round title fi ght.Bodies crashed hard to the court

all night, and the game got progres-sively more physical. It took a toll.

Pacers backup center Ian Mahinmi left late in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle and did not return. Chicago guard Kirk Hinrich was called for a fl agrant foul in the fourth. There was a resounding thud in the arena when Joakim Noah of the Bulls crashed hard to the court trying to protect his own basket late in the fourth.

Until the fi nal stretch, neither team could get the upper hand in this defensive slugfest.

Indiana led 25-19 after one quarter, trailed 43-37 at halftime and then looked like they might pull away in the third after opening the quarter on a 10-2 run to reclaim the lead. The Pacers followed that spurt with a 9-2 run that ended with George’s 3-pointer to make 56-51. Sloan’s 3 with 1:12 left in the third extended the margin to 63-55.

Hinrich answered with a 3, and then George fouled Deng on an 11-footer. Before Deng could fi nish the three-point play, Pacers coach Frank Vogel drew a technical. Chicago made both free throws, trimming the defi cit to 63-62.

KENDALLVILLE — Brandon Mable has a way of diving in and getting the job done.

With East Noble locked in a scoreless duel against unbeaten Leo in the second round of sectional football play on Friday, the East Noble senior charged around the right corner of the Leo line and dove into the path of the ball just inches off the foot of the Leo punter. The turn of events set the Knights up for the team’s only touchdown of the game. A few plays later, Mable pushed his way into the end zone.

East Noble (9-2) never trailed, claiming a 10-7 win in the lowest-scoring game for either team this season and sending the squad into Friday’s Class 4A sectional championship game against Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger (8-3). The contest will be played on the campus of the University of St. Francis. Gates open at 6 p.m. with the kickoff set for 7 p.m.

The Knights take a six-game winning streak into Friday’s game. Prior to beating Leo, East Noble topped NorthWood 55-21 in the opening round of the sectional. The squad ended the regular season with Northeast Hoosier Conference wins over Columbia City (31-7), New Haven (30-6), DeKalb (50-7) and Bellmont (34-7).

Mable made certain the Knights began the postseason strong, running for touchdowns of 2, 1 and 11 yards before the fi rst period ended against NorthWood. He added scores on runs of 36 and 48

yards and fi nished the contest with 269 yards rushing on 18 attempts.

The senior running back has produced big numbers in the fi nal fi ve games of the winning streak. He ran for 229 yards in a key NHC victory over New Haven, had three touchdowns and 199 yards in a romp over DeKalb and scored four times and ran for 113 yards against Bellmont.

Dwenger opened sectional play with a 28-3 win at Northridge and

then scored a season-high of 45 points against Angola a week ago. Dwenger won the fi rst fi ve games this season, scoring over 30 points in four of the contests.

The squad lost three games midway through the season but enters Friday’s contest having won three in a row.

Bishop Dwenger has had plenty of postseason success, with 21 sectional titles. The team is the defending sectional champion,

with titles every season but one since 2006.

East Noble claimed its last sectional football title in 2003.

The East Noble seating area at Bishop D’Arcy Stadium will be in the far north section of the main home grandstands, two smaller bleachers on the visitors side, and the enclosed north end zone area. There is also a large area alongside the fence of the visitors side for standing room.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck stays confi dent and calm around his teammates.

Players and coaches see it in the huddle every day at practice and even when things look especially bleak for the Colts on game days. Teammates typically respond by digging down, digging in and overcoming the long odds.

Indianapolis knew exactly what it was doing when it selected Luck ahead of Robert Griffi n III in the 2012 draft, adding the most polished college quarterback since Peyton Manning to a locker room full of blue-collar veterans who didn’t have the patience to rebuild. They wanted to win right away, and the addition of Luck has turned them into the Comeback Colts.

“We have a young team that bought in completely and sold out for a cause, so, honestly, we don’t know any better,” NFL sacks leader Robert Mathis said Wednesday when asked why Indianapolis has been so resilient over the last two seasons. “We just keep swinging and, hopefully, you get that knockout punch.”

Lately, nobody has done a

better job of landing late jabs than Luck & Co.

In 24 regular-season games, Luck has produced 10 game-win-ning drives in the fourth quarter — more than any NFL player in his fi rst two seasons since 1970 and he still has eight games to add to that total. He is 24.

Indy (6-2) has continued to win despite losing coach Chuck Pagano for 12 games because of leukemia last year, despite opening this season with low outside expectations and despite their divorce with Manning, making a seamless transition from one comeback artist to another.

Most teams spend years trying to fi nd the right combinations and the right replacements, but the Colts did it almost instantaneously.

“If coach didn’t use his situation as an excuse last year, what do we have to lean on to not get the job done this year?” Mathis said.

The Colts have already beaten two of the NFC favorites, handed Seattle and Denver their only losses, taken down the league’s No. 1 offense and the No. 1 defense. They’ve come from

behind in three of those wins, too. Last season, their nine-win turnaround matched the second-

best in league history and their improbable run into the playoffs

The news of Martin Truex Jr.’s loss of sponsorship from NAPA Auto Parts after his Michael Waltrip Racing team’s in-volvement in the race-altering scandal at Richmond in September couldn’t have come at a worse time for the veteran Sprint Cup driver. By early fall, most team and sponsor deals for the upcoming season are already in place, and the looming shutdown of his No. 56 team could have put him without a quality ride for the 2014 season. But Kurt Busch’s surprise departure from the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevro-let team opened the door for Truex to take over as driver for that team, which, despite its single-car status, has proven that it’s a legitimate Chase contender. Truex and Furniture Row made the of-ficial announcement of their pairing last week at Texas Motor Speedway. “As unlucky as I got at Richmond a month or two ago, I got just as lucky when this deal turned up,” Truex said. “What can you say? I guess all things happen for a reason; hopefully all this happened for a reason, and we will be able to do some great things together.” He said there were some anxious mo-ments after NAPA announced that it was dropping his current team after he was removed from the Chase by NASCAR as

part of punishment for MWR’s actions at Richmond, none of which directly involved Truex or his No. 56 crew. “The biggest thing for me as a driver is, a few weeks ago when dominoes started to fall, I wasn’t sure where I would end up,” he said. “To have an opportunity like this — this late in the season — I just feel really blessed. I feel really lucky and defi-nitely excited and looking forward to the future with this team.”

In joining Furniture Row, which has an alliance with Richard Childress Racing, Truex will get to work with his close friend and fellow racer Ryan Newman, who is moving to RCR to drive that team’s No. 31 Chevrolet next year. “We will kind of be teammates next year, which is really cool,” Truex said. “I’m look-ing forward to working with him and hope-fully helping each other.” And he said he doesn’t believe the single-car operation is as much of a disadvantage as some might assume, because single-car teams can make changes more quickly than multi-car operations. “When they want to build a part and put it on the race car, they do it,” he said. “There is no five, six weeks of it going through a system to get it on the race car. I think that from a technology standpoint, I think it’s a great thing. There are a lot less channels for things to go through.” Furniture Row’s general manager Joe Garone also announced that his team has hired the current crew of Truex’s No. 56 to service his No. 78 next year. “We’ve been able to secure Martin’s pit crew; actually bring them on board in full-time positions for 2014,” he said. “I think that is going to really help that part of our program.”

Ty Dillon delivers command performance in Camping World Truck Series victory at Texas A week after his soon-to-be former teammate Kevin Harvick called him a “rich kid” who got his ride only because his grandfather was a team owner, Ty Dillon put on a command performance in the Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. He led 130 of 147 laps to get his second Truck win of the season and third of his career. The victory marked the 100th in a major NASCAR series by a No. 3 Chevrolet fielded by Dillon’s grandfather, Richard Childress. The late Dale Earnhardt got the majority of those victories. Dillon’s crew chief, Marcus Richmond, who was fined by NASCAR after a pit crew member tossed a mallet at Harvick after he and Dillon crashed at Martinsville Speedway, said Friday night’s win was especially rewarding, in light of the events of the previous week. “We’ve had some bad luck the last few weeks and after everything that hap-pened last weekend, this was a great way to show how strong this Bass Pro Shops team really is,” Richmond said.

AMS publicity director dies after cancer battle The NASCAR community lost one of its most tireless and dedicated workers last week. Marcy Scott, who managed publicity at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and prior to that worked as a publicist for drivers including Matt Kenseth, Jeff Green and Ward Burton, died of cancer at age 42. “We will all miss her charisma, her penchant for detail and her way of mak-ing any task fun and enjoyable,” AMS president Ed Clark said in a statement. “To people throughout the NASCAR and the Atlanta media communities, she was a great friend and a consummate profes-sional.” Martin Truex Jr. said Scott’s struggle with cancer and her death helped him realize that career uncertainty like he experienced in recent weeks, and NASCAR racing in general, are not always the most important things in life. “You think about people like Marcy Scott — losing her,” he said. “You know, life is not fair. As big of a deal as this is to a lot of us, sometimes it’s not the end of the world.”

To hear Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief Chad Knaus tell it, the start of their dominating run in the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday can be traced to a test session at the track two weeks prior to the race weekend. “After two days, we really honed in on the balance of the car and comfort of the car,” Johnson said in his winner’s interview after leading the most laps, winning the race and moving seven points ahead of Matt Kenseth with just two races left to run. “We felt really strong about things, but at the same time, we’re here testing, as all of our competitors were as well. So it was tough to leave here overly excited, because your com-petition is here getting better and getting data and all of that as well. “So we came back and just kept our blind-ers on and focused on our team, our race car and got the thing pretty dang awesome.” Knaus pointed out that Kenseth, who entered Texas tied with Johnson atop the points standings but finished fourth in the race, didn’t have such a good Texas test. He crashed his No. 20 Toyota after blowing a tire during the session. “I know if I was [Kenseth’s team], and I came here and on my last day of testing I

blew a right-front tire, I’d be nervous com-ing back,” Knaus said. “So that had to have been looming over them.” Knaus said he believes his No. 48 team also came out ahead in a test session last week at Homestead-Miami Speedway, in which teams prepared for the season-end-ing Ford 400. “Quite honestly, based on what I saw at Homestead, they’re probably pretty nervous about that same thing happening there,” he said. Knaus said there were several things learned at the Texas test, which was rained out and then rescheduled, that helped his team score its first victory on a 1.5-mile track this year. “I think it was very beneficial for us,” he said. “We were able to really kind of break down what the race car was doing. Jimmie was able to go out there and kind of explore a little bit and find the nuances of the race track in kind of a more calm environment.

“I think it paid huge dividends for us from a lot of different levels, and it was good.” Kenseth shouldered much of the blame for his team’s inability to come up with a win-ning setup at Texas, which historically has been one of his best tracks. “We’re just a little off,” he said. “I just couldn’t help [the crew] enough to give them the information they needed to get in the car what I needed to run a little bit bet-ter. “It’s all on me. We just worked hard that first [Texas] race, came and tested, worked hard through all the practice sessions, threw a lot of stuff at it and just never had it quite good enough.” But Kenseth said Johnson’s points lead can be overcome. “It’s not insurmountable,” he said. “It’s still in your hands. The math works out if you win the last two races. “If we go out there and can outrun every-body for two weeks, then it’s ours.”

gave Indy 11 postseason appearances in 12 years.

But it’s the Colts’ propensity for late-game comebacks that has garnered the most attention.

The run began in early October 2012 when Indy erased an 18-point halftime defi cit against Green Bay to win one for Pagano, who was undergoing chemotherapy at a nearby hospital. Three weeks later, Luck did it again at Tennessee, driving the Colts to a tying score with 3:24 left in regulation and then giving Indy its only lead when Vick Ballard scored a diving, twisting touchdown in overtime. Then at Detroit in December, Luck led the Colts to two touchdowns in the fi nal 2:39 including the 14-yard TD pass to Donnie Avery as time expired.

It’s been more of the same this year.

After scoring the fi nal 11 points to beat Seattle 34-28 on Oct. 6, Luck went back to work Sunday night, throwing three TD passes to T.Y. Hilton in an 11-minute span to turn a 24-6 defi cit into a 27-24 victory at Houston.

The victory put Indy in fi rm control of the AFC South with a two-game lead over Tennessee, a four-game lead over the Texans and a 2-0 record in division games — both on the road.

“We’ve got a great group of older guys who have fi gured it out and some superstar who don’t act like it,” said Adam Vinatieri, who owns four Super Bowl rings. “It does feel different because the young guys are stepping up and keeping us rolling.”

Yet in their fi rst game in 15 years without either Reggie Wayne or Marvin Harrison on the fi eld, the Colts still won.

COLTS: Run began in October ‘12FROM PAGE B1

BOSTON (AP) — Brandon Bass scored 20 points and Jeff Green added 18 to lead the Boston Celtics to their fi rst win of the season, 97-87 over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.

The game reunited new Celtics coach Brad Stevens with Gordon Hayward, the Butler star who took the Bulldogs to the NCAA championship game against Duke and just missed a shot from inside half court that would have won it. Hayward had 28 points and nine rebounds for Utah (0-5), one of the last two winless teams in the NBA this season.

The attendance of 17,130 was about 1,500 fans short of a sellout, ending a streak of 289 games dating to the

end of the 2006-07 season. That was the last game before the Celtics (1-4) brought in Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to join Paul Pierce for a New Big 3 that won the franchise’s record 17th NBA championship.

Derrick Favors scored 10 points with 14 rebounds and Enes Kanter scored 22 with eight boards for the Jazz, who open a season with fi ve straight losses for the fi rst time since 1974, when they were still in New Orleans.

Gerald Wallace had nine points and nine rebounds for Boston, which led by as many as 25 points in the third quarter before Utah scored 17 of the fi rst 20 in the fourth to cut a 22-point defi cit into single digits.

SPORTS BRIEFS•

Blackhawks cruise to 4-1 win over Winnipeg

CHICAGO (AP) — Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane scored in the fi rst period, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night.

The Blackhawks also got goals from Brandon Pirri and Patrick Sharp in their fourth win in fi ve games. Corey Crawford made 24 saves and defenseman Duncan Keith had two assists.

Winnipeg forward Michael Frolik received a standing ovation when he was recognized during a break in the fi rst period in his fi rst game in Chicago since he helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in June. Frolik, who played a pivotal role on Chicago’s penalty-kill unit last season, was traded to the Jets for draft picks at the beginning of the offseason.

AP source: Renteria set to become Cubs manager

CHICAGO (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says San Diego Padres bench coach Rick Renteria is set to become the Chicago Cubs’ manager.

The person spoke Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because the hiring has not been announced. The team is expected to make it offi cial on Thursday.

The move ends a long search that began with the Cubs targeting New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi, only to be denied a shot when he decided to stay put.

Instead, the Cubs are hoping Renteria can help develop their young players and lead them to their fi rst championship since 1908.

He replaces Dale Sveum, who was fi red after two seasons.

AP sources: Dolphis OT Martin considered quitting football

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Two people familiar with the situation say Miami Dolphins tackle Jonathan Martin talked of quitting football earlier in his pro career before leaving the team last week to undergo counseling for emotional issues.

One person said Wednesday that Martin considered giving up the sport because of the way he was being treated by other offensive linemen on the team. The person added that Marin now wants to continue his football career.

Both people spoke to The Associ-ated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins have said little about Martin’s departure.

NFL offi cials are trying to determine whether Dolphins guard Richie Incognito harassed or bullied Martin. Incognito has been suspended indefi nitely.

Ortiz wins sixth Silver Slugger as top designated hitter

NEW YORK (AP) — World Series MVP David Ortiz has won his sixth Silver Slugger award as the top designated hitter in voting by major league managers and coaches.

Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer each were selected for the fi fth time.

Silver Slugger awards are given to the top offensive player at each position in the American and National Leagues. They were handed out Wednesday night on the MLB Network.

Nine of the 18 recipients were fi rst-time winners with major league home run and RBI leader Chris Davis of Baltimore taking home a bat-shaped trophy as the best AL fi rst baseman.

The Orioles led all teams with three winners: Outfi elder Adam Jones and shortstop J.J. Hardy joined Davis in being picked for the fi rst time.

Pittsburgh, Detroit and St. Louis each had two winners.

First-time selectee Pedro Alvarez (third base) was joined by Pirates teammate Andrew McCutchen. The star outfi elder won his second prize.

St. Louis’ Yadier Molina (catcher) and Matt Carpenter (second base) received their fi rst Silver Sluggers.

The Tigers’ Torii Hunter (outfi eld) got his second.

Washington’s Ian Desmond (shortstop), Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce (outfi eld) and the Angels’ Mike Trout (outfi eld) each earned their second straight Silver Slugger.

Other fi rst-time winners were: Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt (fi rst base), Colorado’s Michael Cuddyer (outfi eld) and the Dodgers’ Zack Greinke (pitcher).

Cabrera, Hunter and Ortiz each get $100,000 bonuses, while Hardy receives $75,000 and Bruce, Cuddyer, Davis and Molina earn $50,000 apiece. Jones’ base salary next year escalates by $200,000 to $10.2 million and Cuddyer’s rises by $500,000 to $11.5 million.

Defensive coordinator Phillips named Texans’ interim coach

HOUSTON (AP) — Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips will be Houston’s interim head coach with Gary Kubiak out indefi nitely after suffering a mini-stroke this weekend.

Phillips, a former head coach for Dallas, took over after Kubiak was taken to the hospital and he ran Houston’s practice on Monday. Offensive coordinator Rick Dennison likely will take over the play-calling duties.

Local Sports Briefs•

The Department of Natural Resources is reminding Indiana hunters that even though deer attrac-

tants found at retail stores can be purchased and used in the wild, hunting near them is illegal.

They are considered bait.Indiana regulations

prohibit the hunting of deer with the use or aid of bait, which is defi ned as “a food that is transported and placed for consump-tion, including, but not limited to, piles of corn and apples placed in the fi eld; a prepared solid or liquid that is manufactured and intended for consumption by livestock or wild deer, including, but not limited to, commercial baits and food supplements; salt; or mineral supplements.”

This includes artifi cial products and even natural foods such as corn and apples.

There are several places along its 277-mile course to hike to the bottom and back of the Grand Canyon. All of them are hot, dry, require great gear and are as scenic as any place in the United States.

I did my fi rst bottom-and-back hike in October. I skipped the national park near Flagstaff, Arizona, because requisite backcountry hiking and camping permits were all taken a year before I called.

That was a lucky thing. As it turned out, the govern-ment was shut down when I hiked, and I would have been out of luck, as the Grand Canyon National Park was closed.

In maybe one of the only good news stories regarding the ridiculous government shutdown and our over-crowded national parks, I instead accessed the Grand Canyon on the Havasupai Indiana Reserva-tion, which was not subject to politicians and their private agendas.

For a fee, the Native Americans in Supai Village allow visitors to hike through their land and through their village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. From their parking lot at 6,900 feet above sea level, it is an eight-mile hike down to the village and another two miles from there to access their private campground.

After a steep, one-and-a-half-mile descent, most

of the remaining eight-and-a-half-miles is relatively fl at, coursing through a dry riverbed.

The hike is rocky and requires a good, lug-soled boot that fi ts correctly with two pairs of socks. A hiking stick comes in handy on this hike to relieve the constant pounding on the hard surface.

During the summer months the hike is dangerous,

as the temperature at the bottom of the canyon routinely hovers above 100 degrees.

When I went in October, however, it was comfortably in the 50s every day. On the south rim of the canyon, where my hike began, it was only 25 degrees.

Even when it is cool, it is important to carry enough fl uid and avoid hiking in the full, midday sun. I carried a half-gallon of water and made it to the village with fl uid to spare.

There is a small grocery store in the village to buy basic food and drinks, and a café with clean bathrooms for visitors.

The campground and surrounding falls are the reason to hike on the reservation, however.

Campsites are fi rst-come, fi rst-serve, but must be reserved before the hike. There

are hundreds of sites that all sit along an oddly turquoise, rushing stream.

There are several bathrooms throughout the campground, and all are the cleanest and least stinky of any pit-type toilets I have ever used.

There are currently four waterfalls in and around the campground, some over 1,000 feet tall. All are postcard-beautiful and dump into cool, turquoise pools that can be swum in the summer.

The farthest falls are an additional two-mile hike, making the entire trip 24 miles roundtrip. While some may do it in one day, most people choose, as I did, to spend the night in the campground, leaving ample time to visit all of the falls.

The only way most people can hike 24 miles with water and all the camping gear necessary to sleep and live for two days is to have the best lightweight camping gear available.

Before I made the hike, I researched and replaced my older hiking and camping gear with the best stuff available. All of it passed the test with fl ying colors.

I found the following gear to be particularly spectacular and critical for anyone considering any long hike:

Kelty Coromell 20-degree down sleeping bag. It is only 3 pounds and packs down to the size of a football.

Big Agnes Copper SpurUL2 tent. It is only

3 pounds and sleeps two people nicely with full rain fl y.

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite Mattress. This is unbelievably only 12 ounces and is cushier than air mattresses that weigh three times as much.

REI Flash 62 backpack. Light, inexpensive and fi ts like a glove, this pack carried everything two people needed with room to spare.

Snow Peak Giga Power pack stove. This stove fi ts in a shirt pocket, always works and is a torch that accompanies me from Alaska to Arizona every year.

Contact the Havasupai Indian Reservation to reserve a hike and stay in their campground at www.havasupaifalls.net.

DEAR DOCTOR K: At 65, I have begun to notice tiny threadlike shapes in my vision. My doctor calls them “fl oaters.” Should I be concerned?

DEAR READER: “Floaters” describes the dots, threads or cobwebs that we notice drift ing across our line of vision as we get older. You’re more likely to notice fl oaters when you are looking at a page of a book, a computer screen or a solid, light background. Floaters move as your eye moves and dart away when you try to look at them.

To understand fl oaters, here’s a quick refresher on how your eyes are built. Th e light that enters your eyes through the pupil passes through a crystalline lens inside the eye. Th e lens focuses the light on the back of your eye: the retina. It’s similar to the lens on a camera focusing light on the

fi lm (or, these days, on the digital sensor).

Th e retina is the light-sensitive area where the

whole image is registered before it is sent to the brain. Th e brain then interprets the image. Th e retina registers the tennis ball coming toward you; the brain estimates where it will be within the next second so that you can move

there to hit it.Between the lens and the

retina is a fl uid called the vitreous. Floaters form in the vitreous. Th ey are tiny clusters of cells or fl ecks of

protein. When light coming into your eyes hits one of these little fl oaters, it casts a shadow on the retina. It’s that shadow that you see, and call a fl oater.

Most fl oaters are harmless. As you age, the vitreous fl uid starts to get thicker and denser, leading to the clumps of cells and proteins. Th ese changes in the vitreous also can cause suction that tugs on the retina. Th at can cause the retina to tear or to become detached. When that happens, a person suddenly sees new fl oaters and fl ashing lights. In addition, the person oft en has impaired vision out of the aff ected eye. Th at is not harmless: It’s a medical emergency. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can save a person’s vision.

So if you have a sudden change in the number of fl oaters or fl ashing lights, or

sudden poor vision, get help immediately. If nothing has changed with your fl oaters, then the question is how much do they bother you. Floaters may break apart and dissolve naturally. On the other hand, new fl oaters can form.

Floaters can be removed with surgery. Eye surgery these days is much more eff ective and safe than it was decades ago, but there is always a risk with surgery. One of my patients had surgery and has been forever grateful.

Most of my patients just learn to live with fl oaters. If they become a nuisance, moving your eye up and down or left and right may shift the fl oaters and provide temporary relief.

DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoctorK.com.

Most eye ‘fl oaters’ are a harmless nuisance

Almanac•

DEAR ABBY: Veterans Day is next week, and I hope you’ll address something I have encountered over the years. I am a Navy veteran who served four years as a Seabee. I was one of the fi rst women to be assigned to a combat unit, and I am proud of my service. However, I dread it when Veterans Day rolls around. Why do people assume that because I’m a woman I am not a veteran? Two years ago, when I went into a restaurant that serves veterans a free meal, the man in front of me was asked if he wanted a veterans’ menu. He declined. Th e hostess did not ask me if I needed one; I had to request it. Later in the meal, the manager went to each of the tables speaking to the veterans, but skipped mine. Today, many women serve, and it should not be a stretch that some veterans are female. Would you comment,

Abby? — OVERLOOKED IN LEXINGTON, KY. DEAR OVERLOOKED: Gladly. I can understand why you were off ended. However, I hope you realize that what happened occurred because of these people’s ignorance,

and it wasn’t personal. While our armed forces have always been predomi-nantly male, women have offi cially been part of our military only since World War II. Many veterans wear hats

or other items that identify what branch of the service they were in. To prevent this oversight from happening to

you again, wear an insignia next Monday, which is Veterans Day. If you do, it will draw attention to the fact that many women serve in the military, which might be helpful to other female veterans. Th ank you for your service to our country.

Abby shares more than 100 of her favorite recipes in two booklets: “Abby’s Favorite Recipes” and “More Favorite Recipes by Dear Abby.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

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 www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
