Portland mayoral candidates Randy Geesaman (left), the incumbent Democrat, and MiloMiller Jr., a Republican, share a laugh while chatting after their debate Thursday at Arts Place. Inaddition to the candidates for mayor discussing local issues, the event, hosted by Jay County Chamberof Commerce, included statements from candidates running for clerk-treasurer and city council.

By DEBANINA SEATONThe Commercial ReviewThe Portland mayoral

incumbent says his workisn’t done in office andwants another fouryears. A political veter-an who wants to see thecity he knew growing upis challenging him.Seeking his second

term in office, MayorRandy Geesaman stoodagainst his opponentMilo Miller Jr. on Thurs-day for the mayoraldebate at Arts Place andsponsored by Jay Coun-

off against each other,tackling issues affectingthe city and surroundingareas. The questions,

asked by moderator,Charlie Freel, coveredtopics including flooding,job creation and coopera-tion between the city andcounty.Geesaman and Miller

Issue focused

By KATHRYNE RUBRIGHTThe Commercial ReviewRoad damage, distances

from homes and how totrack complaints wereamong the confined-feed-ing related topics discussedat Thursday’s Jay CountyPlan Commission meeting.The meeting opened with

a presentation of the con-fined feeding study com-mission’s recommenda-tions, a step that did nothappen at the plan commis-sion’s June meeting.Larry Temple, a member

of both commissions, pre-sented recommendationson a variety of topics relat-ed to confined feeding. The study commission’s

recommendation on fixingdamaged roads is “almostword-for-word what’s inthe wind farm ordinance,”said Jane Ann Runyon, astudy commission mem-ber.The commission called

for any routes to be usedfor construction to be iden-tified and approved by thecounty engineer after a pre-construction inspection.The engineer could chooseto require a bond from theconfined feeding operatorto pay for future construc-tion-related damage.Plan commission mem-

ber Mike Rockwell won-dered what could legally beput in an ordinance andwhether anything could bedone about damage fromtraffic that is under weightlimits.If the issue was

addressed with windfarms, Runyon said, thereshouldn’t be a problemwith addressing it for con-fined feeding too.But confined feeding is

more complicated thanwind farms in that heavytraffic remains after con-struction, while the trafficto wind farms dies downexcept for maintenanceissues.“I think that’s a bigger

concern than just initialrepairs,” said Joe John-ston, a study commissionmember.Runyon and plan com-

mission president Jim Zim-merman agreed that find-ing funds to maintainroads is difficult already,but discussion of the topicis important.The commission recom-

mended setbacks from resi-dences of at least 750 feetfor operations with lessthan 4,400 hogs, 24,000ducks, 30,000 turkeys or 1million chickens.

Commissionpresents CFOsuggestions

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewWhen does a buyer turn

into a seller?When his barn is so full

he no longer has room fornew treasures.Such is the case for Dave

Baird, who for the firsttime this week is offeringitems for sale at the Tri-State Gas Engine andTractor Association Swapand Sell Meet. The eventbegan Thursday and runsthrough Saturday at theTri-State grounds on Mor-ton Street, with a corre-sponding flea marketacross the street at JayCounty Fairgrounds.“My problem is, I don’t

have room to bring any-more home. So I’m gettingrid of it,” said Baird, anUpland resident who is setup just west of Millers

Branch and north of themain road. “You see, nor-mally I’d be here shopping.I couldn’t shop today.”While most of the items

on display or for sale at themeet involve gas-poweredmachinery, as the associa-tion’s name would suggest,Baird’s favorite items areof another variety.

Packed barnleads to selling

By RICK CALLAHANand TOM DAVIESAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS —

Alpha Tau Omega revokedthe charter and closed itsIndiana University chapterThursday following therelease of a video purport-edly showing a fraternitymember performing a sexact on a woman.The national fraternity’s

action came just hoursafter the university inBloomington, about 50miles southwest of Indi-anapolis, announced it hadsuspended the campuschapter while it investigat-ed the recording that sur-faced on social media.Alpha Tau Omega’s Indi-

anapolis-based nationaloffice said the “highlyinappropriate and vulgarvideo” from a smartphone

shows an event last weekinvolving a 21-year-oldmember of the chapter andtwo female exotic dancershired by one of the mem-bers.It said the event involved

about half the chapter andno pledge was compelled toparticipate.“Regardless, the actions

are contrary to the idealsand principles of AlphaTau Omega and are highlyoffensive,” Alpha TauOmega’s national CEOWynn Smiley said.In the video, the man in

his underwear is sur-rounded by a crowd ofshouting onlookers, someof them partially dressed.It was not clear whetherany of what occurred wascoerced or whether anycriminal charges might bepursued.

IU issued a statementpraising the nationaloffice’s action.University spokesman

Mark Land said school offi-cials didn’t know whetherthe women in the videowere forced to do anythingagainst their wills.A message seeking com-

ment left by The Associat-ed Press at a telephonenumber listed for the fra-ternity chapter wasn’timmediately returned. Anemail to the person listedas the chapter presidentalso wasn’t immediatelyanswered.Land said the universi-

ty’s student ethics and stu-dent life offices would beleading an investigationand that he didn’t knowwhether the campus policedepartment would beinvolved.

Driver injuredA Redkey man com-

plained of back pain afterhe fell asleep at the wheelabout 5 a.m. Thursday anddrove off the road into acorn field.Chad A. Lykins Jr., 18,

19 N. Meridian St., told JayCounty police he wasnorthbound on U.S. 27south of county road 600North when he dozed off.His 2004 Saturn Ion sus-

tained between $1,000 and$2,500 in damage.

Wells mishapA car driven by a Geneva

woman collided with a pick-up truck about 6:50 p.m.Monday at the intersectionof Indiana 124 and Indiana301 in Wells County.Chassidy N. Vore, 21,

Geneva, was eastbound onIndiana 124 when herMazda clipped the rear ofa pick-up truck driven byErick J. Kahn, 34, Union-dale, that had slowed tomake a turn at the inter-section. Vore’s Mazda also

struck a stop sign at theintersection.Damage was estimated

at more than $2,500.

Car keyedTammy Fisher, 609 N.

Pleasant St., reported toPortland police at 2:51 p.m.Thursday that the passen-

ger side front fender of hercar had been scratchedwith a key. She was unsurewhen it happened.

Continued from page 1For larger operations,

or any operation with alagoon or exteriormanure storage, the rec-ommended setback is1,320 feet — a quartermile.Plan commission mem-

ber Shane Houck asked ifthe study commission dis-cussed longer setbacks formassive operations.“I’m not sure 1,320 feet

is enough. I know Ran-dolph County, they’regoing out to 2,000 feet,”Houck said. Temple said the topic

didn’t come up, but studycommission member RexJournay later explainedthat between the setbacksand the minimum acreageguidelines, there seemedto be sufficient limits onwhere operations could bebuilt.Larger operations must

be built on a minimum of40 acres. At least half ofthe setback must be on theoperation’s own property.

Citizens might havecomplaints about roads,setbacks or other aspectsof confined feeding, butJohnston pointed out thatthere is no “central repos-itory” for the complaints.The county might notknow about a complaintthat goes directly to thestate chemist, for exam-ple. Additionally, manycitizens don’t know whatcounty or state office isbest to call for differentproblems.If citizens could call

one number to reporttheir complaint to thecounty and then be direct-ed elsewhere if necessary,both issues would beaddressed, he said.Zimmerman agreed

with the importance ofbeing able to properlydirect complaints, notingthat it’s also necessary tomake sure the buildingand planning departmentis not overwhelmed by thetask.“I don’t want these guys

to become the complaintdepartment for everybodywho has an issue,” he said.Temple said he also gets

complaints at the PurdueExtension office anddirects callers to the prop-er agencies. Other recommenda-

tions include: •Requiring a new per-

mit application forchanges or expansionsinvolving at least 20 per-cent more animals.•Requiring permits for

off-site satellite manureoperations. •The building and plan-

ning department contact-ing neighbors in a 1-mileradius and publishing anotice of the proposedconfined feeding plan inthe newspaper.•An inspection by a site

selection committee com-posed of the county engi-neer and surveyor andrepresentatives from thehealth department andthe soil and water conser-vation district.

•Permit costs based onconstruction costs: $350for up to $1 million, $1,000for $1 million to $5 millionand $2,500 for more than$5 million.•An annual review of

the Jay County watertable by the Departmentof Natural Resources.•County permits being

valid for the same lengthas Department of Envi-ronmental Managementpermits, if applicable, ortwo years if not.The plan commission

will consider the recom-mendations and hold apublic hearing when ithas drafted a version of aconfined feeding ordi-nance. After approval bythe plan commission, theordinance would go to thecounty commissioners.

Continued from page 1“There needs to be a dry-retention

lake to hold that water …” Miller saidas a solution to overflowing stormwater at Millers Branch, which hebelieves is the cause of the problem. The mayor said he and city work-

ers “lost a lot of sleep” over the floodsthis year that had two problems: theMillers Branch and the SalamonieRiver. Geesaman didn’t offer a finalsolution — instead he offered a“game plan” for the overall problem.Mapping creates a visual of every

sewer in Portland for short-termflooding solutions, said Geesaman.He did not think it was time to makea long-term solution without know-ing what the overall problem is.Eventually the candidates began

agreeing more than debating on redi-recting the floodwater. Miller gave Geesaman credit for

working on the problem for threeyears. The mayor thought the water could

filter into a detention pond awayfrom Millers Branch.The tone of the debate changed

with job development, where Millermentioned his experience on variouseconomic development boards. Forhim, job creation means dealing withconcerns to keep businesses in thecity and addressing them to state andlocal officials. This led to addressingan effort to make the city’s industrialpark more appealing.

Miller said the park on county road100 North looks underdeveloped andneeds to be more attractive forincoming businesses.Geesaman refuted. He said the

park is marketable because it offerswater and sewer services as well as 65acres to develop. Current businesseshave expanded, he said, like FCC(Indiana) to make employmentopportunities for the city.Both candidates agreed the rela-

tionship is strong between city andcounty government giving differentexamples of cooperation.“Can’t say it’s a big problem,” said

Miller who recalled his time as acounty commissioner for 24 years.If the city needed assistance, like

using county equipment to removesnow or clean out the SalamonieRiver, the county would step in when-ever it could, he said. “There should be more city-county

joint ventures to cut costs,”Geesaman said, after the partnershipbetween the Jay County Sheriff ’sOffice and Portland Police Depart-ment to purchase Spillman Technolo-gy.The audience was asked to provide

questions but only one was submit-ted. Brooke Aker asked the candi-dates how they would address theincreasing drug problem in Portland.“It’s a terrible problem,” said

Geesaman who addressed that evenwith drug-prevention programs the

problem still continues to grow. Butpolice are able to make changebecause of anonymous tips, he said.“I think we need to start a neigh-

borhood watch,” Miller added.With the watch should come a drug

hotline, he suggested.Despite agreeing on many issues

Miller and Geesaman were asked ifthere was any difference betweenthem. Miller didn’t think there was adifference besides being a Republi-can and Geesaman being a Democrat. “We both have the same problems

and we both are trying to help thecommunity grow and make it a bet-ter place to live,” said Miller. Geesaman agreed.In their closing statements, Miller

addressed pride in the city and prop-erty and Geesaman acknowledgedissues he handled his first term. Miller recalled everyone having

nice homes growing up and said resi-dents should strive for city pride. Ifelected he would push to make homemaintenance a public ordinance.“You don’t have to have a lot of

money to keep house,” he said.Geesaman addressed “taking the

bull by the horns” during his firstterm.“I’m proud to live in Portland with

my wife, children and grandchil-dren,” he said. “Look where we werefour years ago and imagine where wecould be another four years fromtoday.”

By DEBANINA SEATONThe Commercial ReviewSaturday was my first time

going to Jay County HistoricalSociety’s Heritage Festival. I spent my time talking to ran-

dom people in tents because Ihad no change to buy anything. Iwalked over and spoke with twogentlemen in a tent who asked ifI was new in town. I told them Iam from Detroit and came herefor a job. Sunday would be mythird week in Portland.One of the men said, “the peo-

ple around here aren’t that niceto minorities” or something likethat. I became a little nervous

because I didn’t know wherethat conversation was going butI continued to talk with them.

Then I mentioned a small con-cern that might apply to the con-versation. “Since I’ve been here,” I told

them, “I’ve seen about 10 or 12Confederate flags on personalproperty here.”“People fly the flag for differ-

ent reasons,” the other manmentioned. “When are peoplegoing to realize they’ve lost thewar?”

We laughed. In Michigan, seeing a rebel

flag is rare. Finding one meantgoing outside the southeastmetro area, maybe up north orout west, to see the flag flyingfree. Once in a while there willbe some individual with it on theback of their truck or frontlicense plate in Detroit. When Icame here for the job interview,my mom, godmother and I sawthree coming from Celina, Ohio.It was one of my parents’ con-cerns to have me relocate to thiscity at the chance I might facediscrimination.So far, no one has shown me

any disrespect and that’s good.At this point I cannot confirmthe first man’s statement — hon-estly I don’t want to. What I have

received is that odd-man outlook.Jack Ronald did tell me I was

coming to a city with at least sixblack people, a Latino popula-tion, a few Japanese and whites.But the flag, at least as I wasraised to believe, is a constantreminder to beware.But I did see other uses of the

flag. I see people embracing theterm “redneck” on sweatshirtsand vehicles underneath theimage for the Confederate Statesof America. No disrespect topersonal identification but Iwould look pretty ridiculous if Isported a shirt or bumper stick-er that said “hood rat” or worse.I’m not afraid of controversy.

I’m not afraid to discuss issueson any topic with anyone

whether it is racism or someother social concern. I can han-dle my own if I had to have aconversation about the flag.Don’t get me wrong, the coun-

try we live in allows for everyoneto fly a flag no matter what it isand people shouldn’t feel coercedinto taking it down because oneperson, a woman who is black,said so. Consider however,though it may have personalmeaning to one, it causes con-cern and frustration to another. That concern for one person

may lead to anger, which leads toconfrontation rather than con-versation.The question is, would there

be anyone ready to have a dis-cussion about the flag and itshistory?

Can concern lead to conversation?ThoughtsAbout Us

DEAR ABBY: I was invited toa small gathering of women. Iarrived punctually, was greetedby the hostess and asked if Iwanted some water to drink. Iaccepted. As I looked around theroom, everyone else had a glassof wine. When one other womanarrived a little while later andjoined our group, the hostessasked her if she wanted wine orwater to drink.I have never abused alcohol.

Why was I not given a choice? Ilater found out that all the otherwomen had been given a “show

Letters tothe Editor

By JEFFREY ZALLESSpecial To The Washington Post In August, The New York

Times’ Nicholas Kristof notedthat gun violence claims onelife every 16 minutes in theUnited States.Think about it. Every day,

more than 90 American familiesare broken by gun violence.If you’re like most people, you

have come to feel that achievingany significant reduction inthis disturbing statistic is hope-less. Because there are morethan 300 million guns in privatehands in the United States.Because the gun lobby is justtoo strong. Because gun-controlproponents have fought foryears with little to show for it atthe federal level.But this can’t go on forever.

We will eventually reach a tip-ping point whereby a majorityof Americans, fed up and fear-

ing for their safety, will finallywork their will in the form ofstrict gun-control measures oreven a rewrite or repeal of theSecond Amendment.There is a way to end the

standoff before we reach thattipping point, to wipe the slateclean by quickly and drasticallyreducing gun violence withoutinfringing on gun rights. Butfirst, those who support gunrights must recognize that thebiggest threat to those rightslies in the pervasiveness of gunviolence, while those on the

other side must accept that 300million guns aren’t going awayanytime soon.The late senator Daniel

Patrick Moynihan once saidthat in the United States therewas a 200-year supply of gunsbut a four-year supply of ammu-nition. So what if we stoppedworrying about the guns andinstead focused on the bullets?Two steps would work won-

ders:First, license buyers of

ammunition. This licensewould take the form of a photoID, and obtaining it could be aseasy as watching a video,answering some gun-safetyquestions, paying a small feeand passing a backgroundcheck. No doubt, gun owners would

scream that such a requirementrepresented a big-governmentintrusion into their privacy and

constitutional rights. But whatif the National Rifle Associa-tion, and not the government,was responsible for issuinglicenses? Such a role would sim-ply represent a return to theorganization’s roots. The NRAwas founded in 1871 to advancemarksmanship, promote gunsafety and provide training togun owners. It’s only recentlythat it became political. Second, mark the shells. All

bullets could be stamped with aserial number, and stores couldscan a buyer’s license and a bar-code on the box. Since shell cas-ings recovered at a crime scenecould easily be traced back tostores and buyers, there wouldbe a powerful incentive to seethat bullets were handledresponsibly.How might the country bene-

fit from this system?Almost immediately, it would

become increasingly difficultfor those who shouldn’t haveammunition to acquire it. Aftera while, the guns in the posses-sion of criminals would becomevirtually useless.Of course, this wouldn’t put

an end to all gun violence, butmy guess is that thousands oflives would be saved every year.A reduction that large could beenough to end once and for allthe battle between pro- and anti-gun forces.A focus on ammunition

wouldn’t infringe on the rightsof law-abiding gun owners.Instead it would guarantee theprotection of those rights —while saving many lives.

By JOHN KRULLTheStatehouseFile.comINDIANAPOLIS — Not long ago, I

moderated a discussion between thecandidates for mayor of Indianapo-lis, Democrat Joe Hogsett andRepublican Chuck Brewer.I’ve been thinking about that

event ever since the three of usstepped off the stage.It wasn’t that the discussion pro-

duced any fireworks or “a-ha,gotcha” moments. No, the wholeconversation was, without fail, cor-dial, polite and respectful.Neither candidate called the other

names.Both candidates acknowledged

that, even when they disagreed, theother man had a valid point of viewand was operating in both goodfaith and good will.In short, they talked to and about

each other like mature adults.And maybe that is what made the

discussion memorable.Brewer and Hogsett came togeth-

er to talk about homelessness. Bothacknowledged that it was a problemof growing seriousness in Indi-anapolis.But neither man pointed fingers.

Neither attempted to lay the blamefor the problem at the foot of theother party. Neither tried to scorecheap political points.Nope, both men just said this was

a problem — a human problem, atragic problem — and that we need-ed to solve it.As a community.Brewer talked about his service as

a U.S. Marine and said that the fel-lowship he feels with other veteransdidn’t end when he took off the uni-form. For that reason, he explained,the high incidence of veterans whoare homeless causes him particularpain.

The National Coalition for theHomeless reports that every night,between 130,000 and 200,000 veter-ans are homeless in America. That’sbetween 20 and 25 percent of thetotal of all homeless people.Brewer said we shouldn’t forget

the people who stepped up to defendus in times of danger when theycome home bearing the scars, seenor unseen, of their service.Hogsett talked with equally mov-

ing frankness about the growth ofpoverty. He talked about our moralobligation to alleviate the sufferingsof the poor — of finding ways forthose among us with the least toclimb out of the pit of need.But he also discussed a more util-

itarian reason for dealing withpoverty. Allowing the gap betweenthe haves and the have-nots to growever wider — and to allow the num-bers of have-nots to continueexpanding — will foster resentmenton both sides of the divide.That resentment will make it

much more difficult for us to dealwith common problems. It willmake it harder and harder for us tofunction — as a community.When Hogsett and Brewer talked,

there was no rancor, no mean-spirit-edness.Some of that civility may be a by-

product of the office to which theyboth aspire. Politicians in otheroffices have the luxury of indulgingin posturing and other political

game-playing, but mayors in majorcities have to make those citieswork.They have to be adept at resolv-

ing, rather than exacerbating, dif-ferences and tending to business. Asthe famed New York Mayor FiorelloLaGuardia once observed, “There isno Democratic or Republican wayof cleaning the streets.”Mayors who forget that funda-

mental truth — who forget to cleanthe streets, tend to business andmake the city run — soon find theprefix “ex” attached to their titles.Even given that, Brewer and

Hogsett are doing something rarethese days by engaging in a politicalcampaign in which they disagreewithout being disagreeable.Both men have received some

heat for this. There are members oftheir respective political partieswho want them to mix it up more —who desperately want the adrena-lin, attention and energy a fight,however pointless, brings.And some of my colleagues in the

press corps have complained thatHogsett and Brewer have been a lotless entertaining than most of themud wrestling matches that pass forpolitical contests these days.Not me.I find it refreshing to have two

smart, dedicated, mature humanbeings — politicians, at that — treateach other as smart, dedicated andmature human beings.Memorable, even.

Maturity is refreshingOrange County RegisterHillary Clinton seems

to have ripped a pagefrom the Barack Obamaplaybook in addressingthe ongoing controversyover work-related — andeven classified — emailsshe kept on her private,unsecured server.“I have gone further

than anybody that I’maware of in Americanhistory,” Ms. Clinton saidof the release of heremail messages at a townhall hosted by NBC’s“Today Show” on Mon-day. While acknowledg-ing the relatively shorthistory of email technol-ogy, “I’ve gone longer andfarther to try to be astransparent as possible,”she asserted. “Nobodyelse has done that.”Her statement recalls

President Obama’s dubi-ous claim, apparentlymade with a straightface, in February 2013that his administration is“the most transparentadministration in histo-ry.” Never mind that ithas broken its ownrecord this year for cen-soring or denying accessto information madethrough Freedom ofInformation Actrequests, including thoseconcerning Ms. Clinton’semails. Recall that it tooka lawsuit by the Associat-ed Press to gain access tosuch information, andsubsequent judicial rul-ings to address the StateDepartment’s foot-drag-ging on their release.The administration’s

lack of transparency anddisdain for the freedomof the press and (otherpeople’s) privacy isreflected in Freedom

House’s annual Freedomof the Press indexes.While the United Statesis still among the “Free”nations in the index, it isno longer the paragon ofFirst Amendment rightsthat it once was, and nowranks tied for just 31stout of the 63 “Free”nations.The U.S. has seen a

marked drop in its rank-ing in recent years, fromtied for 16th in 2007. Thisis due to the Obamaadministration’s unprece-dented prosecution ofwhistleblowers, theEdward Snowden revela-tions about wiretappingand other governmentspying on journalists (notto mention the generalpublic), “relatively rigidcontrols on the informa-tion coming out of theWhite House and govern-ment agencies” and“detentions, harassmentand rough treatment ofjournalists by police dur-ing protests in Ferguson,Missouri,” FreedomHouse notes.The Emailgate scandal

is emblematic of the gov-ernment’s hypocrisy inproclaiming privacy foritself, but not for its weesubjects.Given her behavior and

erroneous statementsover her emails, weshould expect more ofthe same if Ms. Clintontakes over the WhiteHouse.

nificant reforms areunderway at the troubledIndiana Bureau of MotorVehicles, officials saidThursday, but noted thosewill likely take severalyears to carry out andwon’t come from “quickfixes” to the agency, whichin recent years has over-charged motorists mil-lions of dollars in fees.“These are not easy

tasks and are not going tobe quick fixes that aregoing to happen just thisyear,” BMV chief of staffPeter Lacy told a biparti-san committee of Houseand Senate lawmakers.Agency officials went

before lawmakers toexplain actions they havetaken since a scathing

audit in May foundmotorists had been over-charged more than $60million in fees since 2013.The report said the agencylacked oversight, used acomplex fee schedule thatled to inconsistent chargesfor the same transactionsand may have overchargedmotorists more than pre-viously disclosed.The BMV is responsible

for administering 1,200different fees and taxes,and the audit said thatthose fees did not alwaysmatch with names listedin state code, requiringjudgment and creating arisk of error by workers.Several months before

the audit, Republican Gov.Mike Pence appointedRedkey native Kent Aber-nathy to be commissionerof the agency.

By ALAN FRAMAssociated PressWASHINGTON — The

pressure is on Rep. PaulRyan, the GOP vice presi-dential nominee in 2012,to run for House speakerin the chaotic aftermathof Majority Leader KevinMcCarthy’s sudden deci-sion to abandon his cam-paign for the post.“I’ve talked with Paul

Ryan. He’s talking to peo-ple. I think he’d make agreat speaker,”McCarthy, R-Calif., saidthis morning as heentered a closed-doorRepublican meeting. “It’sa big decision. He’s got totalk to his wife and every-body else, and it’s got tobe his decision.”Ryan has insisted he’s

not interested in the post,preferring to focus on hischairmanship of theWays and Means Com-mittee. In addition, anypresidential aspirationsthe 45-year-old Wisconsinlawmaker might havecould be undercut byholding the chamber’stop job and managing itsunruly caucus.Being speaker also

calls for frequent travelto raise money for theGOP, a challenge for alawmaker like Ryan witha young family backhome.Republicans met this

morning to discuss theirnext move, and evenbefore that session sever-al potential candidatesfor the top post surfaced.But lawmakers said noth-ing was decided attoday’s gathering.“The consensus is to

give it a little time,” saidRep. John Mica, R-Fla.With Republicans act-

ing more like feuding rel-atives than a unifiedparty, departing HouseSpeaker John Boehnerand McCarthy werepressing Ryan to seek thejob. Boehner also told theconference that he isintent on holding elec-tions for speaker at theend of the month.Ryan said he was unin-

terested but did not rejectthe idea outright when heentered today’s confer-ence. “I have nothing newto say,” Ryan said.Even Rep. Jason Chaf-

fetz, R-Utah, himself acandidate for the speak-er’s post, said he’d backRyan should he seek thejob, adding, “I wouldhope that he would do it.”Added Rep. Lynn West-

moreland, R-Ga., also apotential contender forthe job: “I think he’s theonly guy who can uniteus right now.”The GOP-run Congress

is hurtling toward show-downs with PresidentBarack Obama overspending and borrowing.If not resolved, thosefaceoffs could result in apartial government shut-down or an unprecedent-ed federal default.

By ZEINA KARAMAssociated PressBEIRUT — Islamic State

militants seized a string ofvillages from rival insur-gents north of the Syriancity of Aleppo today in asurprise attack that camedespite intensive Russianairstrikes that Moscowinsists are targeting theextremist group, activistssaid.Iranian state media

reported that a senior com-mander in Iran’s powerfulRevolutionary Guard waskilled by the Islamic Stategroup on the outskirts ofAleppo city, but it was notimmediately clearwhether Gen. HosseinHamedani’s death wasrelated to the new IS offen-sive.An Iranian state televi-

sion report said he waskilled while “carrying outan advisory mission,” andthe official IRNA newsagency read a statementby the Guard in which itblamed IS for his death.Neither report providedfurther details.The IS advance — the

most significant in months— came amid a wave ofRussian airstrikes thathave targeted insurgentsfighting to topple Presi-dent Bashar Assad, and aground offensive by theSyrian army in the coun-try’s central region.Moscow says it is target-

ing mainly Islamic Statemilitants, but U.S. officialsand Syrian rebels havesaid the strikes have hitmainstream rebels for themost part and are aimed atshoring up Assad’s embat-tled government andtroops. Many of the rebelgroups hit by the Russianstrikes are also at warwith the IS group.Opposition activists said

the Islamic State grouptook advantage of Russianairstrikes and the rebels’

preoccupation with fight-ing Syrian army forces onother fronts in centralSyria.“At a time when the

rebels are waging fiercebattles against the Russianoccupiers in Hama coun-tryside, Daesh seizes theInfantry Academy and anumber of villages inAleppo,” said Hadi Abdul-lah, an activist with closelinks to the Army of Con-quest, a coalition thatincludes mainstreamrebels as well as al-Qaida’saffiliate, the Nusra Front.Daesh is an Arabicacronym for the IS group.The Army of Conquest,

which had made a stringof advances against gov-ernment troops in recentmonths, has come under

attack from Russian war-planes.Other activists wondered

where the Americans were.“Why didn’t America

attack Daesh fighters dur-ing their attack?” askedRami Abdurrahman, direc-tor of the Britain-basedSyrian Observatory forHuman Rights.The Observatory said the

extremists’ surpriseadvance north of Aleppo,which began Thursdaynight, is the most signifi-cant in months. It said themilitants seized the vil-lages of Tal Qrah, TalSousin and Kfar Qaresnorth of Aleppo, Syria’slargest city and its onetimecommercial capital.The group also seized a

former army base known

as the Infantry Academythat rebels captured fromthe Syrian army two yearsago. The base is locatedaround 10 miles (16 kilome-ters) northeast of Aleppocity and about one mile (1.6kilometers) away from agovernment-held industri-al zone on the northernedge of Aleppo.The pro-IS Aamaq media

outlet said the group seizedsix villages and otherstrategic positions in Alep-po province after battlingwith armed oppositiongroups there. It said thegroup opened its blitz witha surprise attack on theInfantry Academy, forcingrebels positioned there towithdraw after a number oftheir fighters were killed orcaptured.

By ARIANA EUNJUNG CHAThe Washington PostA British nurse, thought to have

made a full recovery in January fromEbola, has been taken to a hospital inserious condition due to what healthofficials described as delayed compli-cations from the virus — raisingquestions about the long-term impactof the disease on survivors.The Telegraph reported that 39-

year-old Pauline Cafferkey, who con-tracted the virus in Sierra Leone, wasin an isolation unit at the Royal Free

Hospital in London early this morn-ing. The hospital said in a statementthat she was suffering from “anunusual late complication” of Ebolaand is in serious condition, but didnot offer more details.Cafferkey is one of several sur-

vivors who have reported sufferingfrom issues that appear to be relatedto lingering effects of the virus.A year ago, when the World Health

Organization sent a team to Kenema,a part of Sierra Leone where the out-break first hit, patients reported a

whole range of “post-Ebola syn-drome” symptoms.“Apart from visual problems which

affect approximately 50 percent ofEbola survivors in Kenema, peoplecomplain of ‘body aches’ such asjoint, muscle and chest pain. Theyalso suffer headaches and extremefatigue, making it difficult to take uptheir former lives — especially if itinvolved manual work — as farmers,labourers and housewives,” theWorld Health Organization said in areport.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.(AP) — Statistics from Pur-due University show anincrease in farm fatalitiesin Indiana last year.The school released data

Wednesday from its 2014Indiana Farm FatalitySummary, saying therewere 25 farm-related deathsin Indiana last year — upfrom 18 the previous year.Even though there was

an increase the university’sAgricultural Safety and

Health Program says adownward trend continuessince 1970. Experts saythat’s likely because of adecline in the number peo-ple working on farms. TheIndiana farm fatality rate isan estimated 17.5 per100,000 workers comparedto 25.4 nationally.About a third of the Indi-

ana farm deaths wereattributed to overturnedtractors and 16 involvedfarm machinery.

Indiana’s farmdeaths increase

TIPTON, Ind. (AP) — The NationalPork Board’s first-ever pig farmer ofthe year is from Tipton, Indiana.The group announced Thursday

morning that Keith Schoettmer is thefirst pig farmer to receive the board’sAmerica’s Pig Farmer of the YearAward.The board says it wanted to recognize

a farmer who raises pigs with ethicalprinciples and tries to connect withconsumers about how pork is pro-duced.Schoettmer founded his family farm,

called Schoettmer Prime Pork, in cen-tral Indiana in 1987. He, his wife andemployees raise about 22,000 pigs ayear. Schoettmer earned the honor

after an audit of farm practices and aseries of written and verbal inter-views.The group says he has “achieved

excellence in all aspects of pig farm-ing.”

Tipton man earns honor

Continued from page 1The main pieces of his col-

lection are walk-behind farmtools, predominantly plowsand planters.The cultivators are mostly of

the horse-pulled variety,although he has a few that arehuman-powered.And, as is the case with

many of the vendors at themeet, he has a couple of tablesfull of parts.Baird at one time restored

tractors, but he sold the four hehad when the market for themdropped about 15 years ago.They left a void.“I got bored, because I didn’t

have anything to do,” he said.“Being the size of these — theydon’t take up much room andthey don’t cost a lot — so that’show I got into this.”Now he has about 40 hanging

in his barn, with some of thoseon sale at the meet for about$100 apiece in an effort to makeroom for more.A former homebuilder for

about 20 years, Baird focuseson the planters and plows withwood handles. He generally

buys them old and rusty andtries to bring them back to life.He’s got them in all shapes

and colors — if he knows theoriginal color based on the

brand, such as green for JohnDeere or red for InternationalHarvester, he matches it.“Of course when you find it,

it’s rust color,” said Baird, an

Eastbrook High School gradu-ate who for the last nine yearshas worked for American Elec-tric Power. “And you don’tknow what the color is until

you start taking apart some-thing that’s never been apart.“I want to keep it around.

They don’t make this stuff any-more.”His interest in farm equip-

ment comes naturally as bothhis grandparents and parentswere in the business.His father, Ronald, and broth-

er, Daniel, still work the land hisgrandparents owned in Moroc-co, a small town along the Illi-nois border about 75 miles southof Chicago.Baird’s family moved to Grant

County in his youth, and thoughhe isn’t a farmer, he still feels thelifestyle is in his blood. Like somany others who attend the Tri-State shows, he said one of thethings he enjoys most aboutcoming to Jay County is thechance to share and hear stories.“That’s why I like these peo-

ple,” said Baird, who has beencoming to the Tri-State showsfor about 15 years. “They’re real-ly, in general, it’s just a goodbunch of people.“You’re the descendents of a

farm community. The friendli-ness is still there. I enjoy it.”

Health-conscious con-sumers might be persuad-ed to eat more beef if itwas fortified with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acidsnaturally found in salmonand walnuts, according toresearchers and someranchers who are feedingcattle flaxseed — evenmarine algae — with aneye to offering anotherwholesome dinner choice.People have long been

told they can decreasetheir risk of heart diseaseby eating more omega-3fatty acids, the kindsalmon get from algae. Itinspired researchers atKansas State University:Could the steaks and ham-burgers from cattle fat-tened on algae pass onthose healthy fats?Separately, some Texas

grocery stores are sellingbeef products fortifiedwith omega-3 through

flaxseed, a trial run so suc-cessful that orders havequadrupled since it beganseven months ago. And anationwide study showsconsumers would be will-ing to pay $1.85 a poundmore for enriched steaksand 79 cents a pound morefor enhanced ground beef,Kansas State agriculturaleconomist Sean Fox said.After putting a pot roast

into her shopping basket ata Wichita grocery store, 31-year-old Lindsey Goodwin

considered that very ques-tion.“Probably, it kind of

depends on the price,” shesaid.But Terry Cooper, 36,

was skeptical, adding thatthe university might havean “uphill battle” persuad-ing people to eat more beef.“The reality is we all eat

more junk food ... but wethink we should eathealthy,” Cooper said.Algae contains the

omega-3 type fatty acids

known as eicosapen-taenoic acid (EPA) anddocosahexaenoic acid(DHA), which nutritionexperts say people shouldconsume at least 250 mgper day of both because oftheir protective effects onthe heart; DHA is also asso-ciated with infant braindevelopment. A thirdomega-3 type is alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), whichis abundant in flaxseed.Ground beef from cattle

that eat grass, a naturalsource of omega-3s, con-tains about 20 to 30 mil-ligrams in a 5-ounce serv-ing. That increases to atleast 200 milligrams per 5-ounce serving when cattleare fed algae or flaxseedrations, Kansas Stateresearcher Jim Drouillardsaid.Other omega-3 fortified

foods are commerciallyavailable — such as eggs,bacon and chicken. Yetsalmon is king, providing10 times the amount of

omega-3s than enrichedbeef products — at least2,000 milligrams in a 5-ounce serving.Cost comes into play

when making omega-3 for-tified beef more widelyavailable. Researchers areexamining whether algaeis an economically feasiblefeed, given that commer-cial sources are scarce.Beef produced from cattlethat eat algae containsmore of the EPA and DHAfatty acids than cattle fedonly flaxseed, Drouillardsaid.All told, it may not raise

consumer prices morethan 15 to 20 cents a poundextra according to BernieHansen, founder ofGreatO Premium Foods.He said the added costs offattening livestock onflaxseed-based rationswould be mostly offset bythe lower costs of raisinganimals which are healthi-er and need fewer antibi-otics.

By LINLY LINBloombergHog farmers nation-

wide are on alert ascold weather may helpspread the PEDvswine virus, whichkilled millions of pigsin an outbreak thatpeaked in the winterof 2013-2014.The virus, which

can survive weeks oras long as months inlow temperatures andmoist conditions, willhave a greater chanceof being transmittedamong farms in thewinter, Lisa Becton,director of swinehealth informationand research at theNational Pork Board,said in a telephoneinterview.“For winter, it’s par-

ticularly concerning,”Becton said. “Thevirus has never beeneliminated in the U.S.There are still sporad-ically new cases thatare identified in cer-tain areas and states.”The porcine epidem-

ic diarrhea virusspread to more than4,700 U.S. hog opera-tions in the winter of2013-2014. The deathof piglets sent hogfutures to a record$1.33 a pound inMarch 2014 and retailpork chops to an all-time high of $4.174 apound in October 2014.Producers such as

Cargill, Tyson Foodsand Smithfield Foodsfought the disease byimproved cleaning insow barns and trans-port trailers.There are 1,337 sites

that have been identi-fied positive for thevirus in the U.S. sinceJune 5, 2014, accord-ing to a U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculturereport. Eleven sitestested positive for theweek that ended Sept.26, down from a peakof 58 in the week thatended in Jan. 18.Although identified

cases largelydecreased last winter,that raises a more seri-ous threat — lowerimmunity amongherds for the comingwinter, according toWill Sawyer, anAtlanta-based vicepresident of animal-protein research forRabobank Interna-tional. That’s causingconcern among pro-ducers, he said.“We had a high

degree of immunityin the sow herd, andnow a lot of thosesows have beenreplaced, so immunitylevels are far lowerthan a year ago,”Sawyer said in a tele-phone interview.

Continued from page 10“(But) that’s not my call,” he said. “I

just do what I’m told.”The Colts (3-2) extended their AFC

South winning streak to an NFL-record 16games.The 40-year-old Hasselbeck was filling

in for Andrew Luck, who missed his sec-ond straight game with a shoulder injury.Hasselbeck may not have been 100 per-cent, either, after missing practice Tues-day with an illness.Johnson extended the lead to 27-17 with

the 2-yard reception with about 10 1/2minutes left. The Texans intercepted Has-selbeck’s pass in the end zone earlier inthat drive, but the play was negatedbecause of defensive holding on EddiePleasant. A second penalty, this one forpass interference gave the Colts a firstdown at the 1.DeAndre Hopkins had 11 receptions for

169 yards for Houston.“We’re not happy obviously,” J.J. Watt

said. “But we’re going to go back to workand figure it out.”Foster, who was shaken up in the sec-

ond quarter but returned after halftime,had 44 yards rushing and 77 yards receiv-ing in his second game back after groinsurgery.The Colts opened the second half with a

Continued from page 10Obviously game two, it was

very inspirational coming back …I was hoping it would bring usmomentum in the third game butunfortunately I think it exhaustedus a little bit.”Jay County trailed 12-11 in the

second set — the first time the vis-iting Patriots were behind onagainst Heritage — but an attackerror by Heritage and back-to-back kills by JCHS senior KylieOsborne put her team ahead 14-12.Jay County was able to extend

the lead to as much as 23-19,which forced Walter into taking atimeout. They split points to putJay County one point away fromthe championship, but a serveerror sparked a run of four con-secutive points for Walter’ssquad. The visitors were serving for

match point two more times, buttwo quick kills from MakalahKrick put Heritage ahead, and ablock by Emma Scheumann gaveHeritage the middle set.“We were up in game two and

the kids started to celebrate a lit-tle early. Not the kids on the courtbut the ones on the bench,”Medler said. “Lo and behold, backcame Heritage and we played notto lose. All the sudden they wereright there with us.“They got game two, which

fired them up. Then it was just adogfight from then on.”But before the decisive third set,

the visiting Patriots had toregroup.“We just knew we were going to

have to start fighting and thatthey were going to come back real-ly confident,” said Barcus, whohad a match-high 26 kills and

added nine digs. “We were justgoing to have to come out strong.”Barcus and the Patriots had a

13-7 lead in the third set, butanother Krick kill cut the deficitto five. Barcus notched kills as JayCounty took three of the next fivepoints for a 16-10 advantage. Abby

Wendel recorded one of her dozenkills as Jay County started to flexits muscles to get ahead 18-10.Wendel had a team-high 13 digs,

and was 19-of-22 from the serviceline.But like Heritage had in the sec-

ond set, it came roaring back,

scoring six consecutive pointsthanks to three kills from middlehitter Haley Hoffman.The host Patriots tied the set at

20, but a set error and consecutivekills from Barcus put JCHS twopoints away from victory.Back-to-back points from Krick

cut the deficit to 23-22. Yet anotherBarcus kill gave Jay County thechance to serve for match point,then Campbell came through withthe big dig that led to the finalpoint.“I give Jay County credit, they

are a hell of a team,” Walter said.“They went out there and battled.Just when I thought they were ontheir heels they came back, right-ed the ship and won the (match).”

SemifinalJust like the regular season, Jay

County was challenged by SouthAdams but still walked away witha victory.South Adams (17-10) had a brief

9-7 lead in the first set thanks to arun of five straight points. Thescore was tied at nine, 11, 12, 14and 15 before a 5-0 Jay County runput the set out of reach.The Starfires started the second

set stronger, leading by as manyas four points on five separateoccasions. But another five-pointrun gave Jay County momentumthat it never gave up.Madi Wurster and Morgan

Alberson led South Adams withfive kills apiece. Alberson alsohad nine digs. Julia Grabau tal-lied 12 assists.Osborne and Barcus paced Jay

County with nine kills each. AbbyWendel followed with seven. Schoenlein tallied 25 assists

TOURNEY CHAMPS

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewMONROEVILLE — One point

away from winning the tourna-ment championship, Jay Countyjunior Alli Campbell entered thegame to serve.She put the ball in play, and the

host Heritage Patriots went rightback at her with their attack.Campbell stuck her arms out

for her third and final dig of thenight and Lizzy Schoenlein setthe ball to Abby Barcus at the leftside of the net.Barcus, who already had 25

kills on the night, rifled a shot offthe Heritage block and out ofbounds.She then dropped to her knees,

screamed and was bombarded byher teammates both on the courtand the bench.For the second time in eight

days, the Jay County HighSchool volleyball team was AllenCounty Athletic Conferencechampion.After a deflating 28-26 loss to

even the match at one set apieceThursday, Jay County held off apesky Heritage squad in thethird and final set for a 25-22 vic-tory, finishing a perfect seasonagainst ACAC opponents.“Just a good win,” said JCHS

coach Fred Medler, whose teambeat South Adams 25-20, 25-20 inthe semifinal earlier in the

evening before holding off Her-itage 25-13, 26-28, 25-22. “Good,team effort.“We just had some big plays

out of people. None bigger thanthe two Alli Campbell dug cross-court hard. Those two plays werehuge for her.”Emilie Walter, one of four sen-

iors on the squad, said winningboth conference championshipsis an amazing feeling.“We’ve really come together as

a team,” said Walter, who had ateam-high 2 1/2 blocks. “We’vebeen really strong. It takes a lotof mental focus to get throughthis and we did it together. Wewouldn’t have it any other way.”

Thursday was a stark contrastfrom the first time the two teamsmet in a battle of Patriots on Oct.1 in Portland. Jay County (24-3),which reached its highest wintotal in Medler’s two-decadecareer, dropped the first set butdominated the final three for theregular season crown.Despite losing the first set 25-

13, Heritage was simply a betterteam this time around.“I think tonight, this is what I

wanted to see from us,” said Her-itage coach Steve Walter, whoseteam fell to 19-5. “We made toomany mistakes but overall it wasa different team.
