By JESSICA BRICKERTucked in between state routes, the inter-

state, a river and some fields is a town with its eyes on the future.

And with the help of a local marketer and visual designer, the community of Markle now has a fresh online appearance.

“I’m both very honored and excited that the town chose my company to represent them,” Holly Clabaugh said this week. “I have lived in Markle my entire life and it’s the only home I know, so it was easy to pour my heart into it.”

Due to her first-hand knowledge, Clabaugh said she didn’t have to dive into hours of research; she hit the ground running and it just came together. The project felt like a personal one. It’s creative work, so some projects are harder than others.

“But when it’s your home, I have a lot of passion for it,” she said.

As a marketer, she looked at the town’s previous site from a business lens and then from an emotional lens.

She identified a “home-town” Americana feel to the colors and vintage photos she used. She also created the website’s photog-raphy, as well as videos for a branding effort too.

“Then I used everybody local,” Clabaugh

said. “So everybody I know in town that has always been supportive, or fun and has

the spirit that I think home has, I incorporated into the site.”

The first video that has been released so far serves as an intro-duction to Markle and aims to attract new residents to be apart of the community, she said. Another video in the works is for business attraction and development.

When the first video was shown at this month’s town council meeting, it was well received.

“Man, I want to live there,” President Matthew Doss said after the video ended.

And that’s precisely the idea, Assistant Town Supervisor Mike Grant responded. The town announced the new website on social media on Oct. 18.

“Learn more about the people, business-es, and opportunities that make Markle our home,” the post said. “Come visit us today and escape to our backyard.”

‘Bring yourmomentsto Markle’

Holly Clabaugh of Markle, above, has redesigned the Town of Markle’s website, including a newslet-ter and a promotional video series highlighting the small-town appeal. The homepage, images from which are seen at right, feature the town hall and the town’s history along the Wabash River.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A 3-year-old southwestern Indiana girl died after ingesting fentan-yl and two other children in the same home were hospitalized with apparent opioid overdoses, authori-ties said.

Six people were arrested after emergency responders found Kamari Opperman dead Wednesday morning in a house in Evansville where police discovered thousands of fentanyl pills,

Kamari’s grandmother told police that the children “got hold” of a bag contain-ing fentanyl pills the night before, the Evansville Cou-rier & Press reported.

No one took Kamari to the hospital, and two other children who showed signs of overdosing didn’t get medical treatment until first responders rushed them to a hospital Wednesday and gave them a medication used to revive people suffer-ing from opioid overdoses, a probable cause affidavit states.

Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nick Hermann said Thursday that the two other children, ages 2 and 4, were in stable condition.

“This tragedy needs to serve as a wakeup call to our entire community,” he said, adding that one or both of the other children may have died without the medi-

LYLES STATION, Ind. (AP) — Lyles Station, the last remaining historic Afri-can-American settlement in Indiana, is working to live up to its mission of creating and maintaining a commu-nity for future generations.

“Lyles Station is here doing the right thing, and helping people across the world get on their feet, so then they can help someone else,” said Stanley Madison, president of the Lyles Sta-tion Historic Preservation Corporation.

In September, 11 Afri-can-American sites in Indi-ana were chosen to receive grants to be used for the preservation of landmarks through the Standiford H. Cox Fund. The fund was established by Cox, Eli Lilly’s first Black chemist, to support restoration, pres-ervation and operation of African-American historic sites in Indiana.

Lyles Station was one of the sites picked. It received a grant to continue rehabili-tation on the Joseph Lucas

Home which is becoming an interpretive center and to make repairs to the founda-tion and ceiling of Wayman Chapel.

With the $25,000 grant, Madison hopes to kick start his dream of restoring other buildings on the property to attract more young people.

“When these people came here in early years, they saw that opportunity of putting down roots and becoming someone,” Madi-son said. “That’s what we’re trying to do with this muse-um is to shape and mold who we are and how we are giving back to the commu-nity.”

The story of Lyles Sta-tion dates to 1813, when Charles Grier purchased 20 acres of farmland. He even-tually bought more, as the farm grew to 268 acres by 1825. He traveled around and spoke about his farm-land’s fertile soil and its vicinity to two rivers for moving harvested crops.

Following that, Grier connected with Thomas Cole who married into the Lyles family and eventu-ally purchased more than

AP Economics WriterWASHINGTON (AP) —

Wages jumped in the three months ending in Septem-ber by the most on records dating back 20 years, a stark illustration of the grow-ing ability of workers to demand higher pay from companies that are desper-ate to fill a near-record num-ber of available jobs.

Pay increased 1.5% in the third quarter, the Labor Department said Friday. That’s up sharply from 0.9% in the previous quar-ter. The value of benefits rose 0.9% in the July-Sep-tember quarter, more than double the preceding three months.

Workers have gained the upper hand in the job mar-ket for the first time in at least two decades, and they are commanding higher pay, more benefits, and other perks like flexible work hours. With more jobs avail-able than there are unem-

ployed people, government data shows, businesses have been forced to work harder to attract staff.

Higher inflation is eating away at some of the wage increases, but in recent months overall pay has kept up with rising prices. The 1.5% increase in wages and salaries in the third quar-ter is ahead of the 1.2% increase in inflation dur-ing that period, economists said.

However, compared with a year ago, it’s a closer call. In the year ending in Sep-tember, wages and salaries soared 4.2%, also a record gain. But the government also reported Friday that prices increased 4.4% in September from year earlier. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, infla-tion was 3.6% in the past year.

Jason Furman, a former top economic adviser to President Barack Obama, said Friday that inflation-adjusted wages still trail

their pre-pandemic level, given the big price jumps that occurred over the spring and summer for new and used cars, furniture, and air-line tickets.

Whether inflation fades in the coming months will determine how much ben-efit workers get from higher pay.

Many economists expect inflation to slow a bit, while wages are likely to keep ris-ing.

Pay is rising much faster in the recovery from the pandemic recession than in the recovery from the Great Recession of 2008-2009, when wage growth kept slowing until a year after that downturn ended. That’s because of the different nature of the two recessions and the different policy responses.

There has been much more government stimulus during and after the pan-demic recession compared with the previous one, including the $2 trillion

financial support package signed by former President Donald Trump in March 2020 and the $1.9 trillion in aid approved by President Joe Biden this March. Both packages provided stimu-lus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits that fueled greater spending.

That’s a central theme throughout the first video, as well as the website: “Bring your moments to Mar-kle, and experience home again,” the video’s narrator says.

Clabaugh said she’s glad the video has been well received.

“The only way to really reach people, I think, is going to be on an emotional level — for a small town — and why we love it, so I just put that into the video: Why I love my home. And it really resonated with a lot of

people,” she said.Clabaugh said the num-

bers show a “dramatic spike” in people using the new site compared to the previous one. Grant said earlier in the month that in less than 24 hours, the new site had more visitor traffic than the old site saw in three months.

Clabaugh said that’s the goal: More people going to the site to learn about what’s going on in Markle.

There is an event page that lists upcoming events in the town and a newslet-ter that people can sign up

for to receive those updates. Eventually the plan is to expand the site to include a blog section that will pro-vide post-event coverage.

Grant was complimen-tary of Clabaugh’s work and noted her planned storefront in downtown Markle.

Clabaugh, who is in the process of rebranding her company to Trade Design Co., is renovating a market-ing and design studio space at 110 E. Morse St.

She has clients across the area, and she’s excited that Markle is looking toward growth and development.

That vision intersects with her ability to help clients with branding.

“I’m really excited to be able to use my skills here at home,” she said. “And then help my fellow Markleites that have smaller businesses. It’s really been great to con-nect with each other where we hadn’t been (before).

“I think if we get a stron-ger network and kind of bond together,” she added, “that we could see a lot of positive change and positive growth for the town.”

By TOM DAVIESAssociated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A federal appeals court has cleared the way for Indiana officials to start enforcing a law requiring reports from doctors if they treat women for complications arising from abortions, even though the court said the law could be struck down in the future.

Action by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals this week followed a 2-1 ruling by a court panel in August upholding the law, which had been blocked by a judge shortly after it was approved by the Republican-dominated Indiana Legislature in 2018.

The law lists 25 physical or psy-chological conditions — including unsuccessful abortions, infections, uterine perforations, depression and deaths — that could trigger the reporting requirement for doctors or clinics. It makes failure to do so a misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Planned Parenthood challenged the law in federal court, arguing that it was vague and would leave medical professionals uncertain in determining whether they need-ed to report conditions such as a patient’s anxiety or minor bleed-ing regardless of whether they believed it stemmed from the abor-tion.

The Chicago-based appeals

court last week turned down Planned Parenthood’s request for the full court to reconsider the case and it issued an order Thursday allowing the law to go into effect.

The appeals court’s August decision found that the Indiana law didn’t directly inhibit a woman’s right to an abortion but recom-mended that the Indiana Depart-ment of Health use a “reasonable medical judgment standard” in enforcing the reporting require-ments.

“It is certainly possible that Indiana may enforce this law in an arbitrary manner that offends due process, particularly in a highly controversial area like the regu-lation of abortion,” the majority opinion said.

Planned Parenthood, which operates abortion clinics in India-napolis, Merrillville, Bloomington and Lafayette, is considering its options for continuing to challenge the law, said Hannah Brass Greer, a lawyer for its Indiana affiliate.

“These restrictions have a dis-proportionate impact on those like people of color, people who live in rural areas, young people, or those with low incomes, who already face far too many barriers to health care,” she said in a statement. “Laws like this make abortion a right in name only to the most vul-nerable.”

The anti-abortion group Indiana Right to Life called the reporting

requirement “long overdue.”“It is extremely telling that

abortion businesses fought to shield these complications from being reported,” Indiana Right to Life President Mike Fichter said. “Full compliance with the com-plications reporting law must be one of the many areas subject to thorough state inspections of every licensed abortion business.”

Debates on additional abortion restrictions are expected during the new Indiana legislative session that starts in January, with Republican lawmakers looking to copy a Texas law that prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, usually around six weeks, and puts enforcement in the hands of private citizens.

Indiana’s Legislature has adopt-ed numerous abortion restrictions over the past decade, with several later blocked by court challenges.

A judge in 2019 blocked the state’s ban on a common second-trimester abortion procedure that the legislation called “dismember-ment abortion.”

The U.S. Supreme Court in 2019 also rejected Indiana’s appeal of a lower court ruling that blocked a ban on abortion based on gender, race or disability. However, it upheld a portion of the 2016 law signed by then-Gov. Mike Pence requiring the burial or cremation of fetal remains after an abortion.

MERRILLVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana utility company is looking to shutter a coal-fired power plant along Lake Michi-gan two years earlier than planned.

Northern Indiana Pub-lic Service Co. said it now plans to retire its electricity generating plant in Michi-gan City between 2026 and 2028 rather than the pre-vious shutdown target of 2028. NIPSCO will turn to solar, energy storage and upgrades at its Sugar Creek Generating Station near Terre Haute to replace the generating capacity.

The Merrillville-based company said it remains on track to reduce its 2005 level of carbon emissions by 90% before 2030.

NIPSCO President Mike

Hooper said the utility’s plan maintains a diverse energy portfolio.

The company also plans building a new natural gas-burning peaking plant at an undetermined location to replace two older units at its Schahfer Generating Station near Wheatfield in northern Indiana’s Jasper County. Those peaking plants only run during times of high electricity demand.

Ashley Williams, execu-tive director of the advocacy group Just Transition North-west Indiana, said building a new gas-burning plant seemed like a backtrack by NIPSCO on its renewable energy plans. Williams said building the new gas plant at Wheatfield would prevent redevelopment of the power plant site into other uses.

cal treatment they received Wednesday.

Police believe another child, an infant, was also “exposed“ to fentanyl, and Hermann said detectives found more than 5,600 fen-tanyl pills inside the home in the city, located about 165 miles (266 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.

Police arrested six peo-ple, including Kamari’s mother and two of her grandparents, on prelimi-nary charges of neglect of

a dependent causing death, according to jail records.

Evansville police spokes-woman Sgt. Anna Gray said the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Joint Drug Task Force is “dealing with fen-tanyl constantly.”

“It’s a growing issue for sure,” she said.

The Associated Press left a message Friday seek-ing comment from the Vanderburgh County coro-ner’s office on the status of Kamari Opperman’s autopsy results.


800 acres of land. It became known as the Switch Settle-ment, a safe-haven for fugi-tive slaves who needed rest.

Lyles Station gets its name from Joshua Lyles, a free slave who migrated to the settlement from Tennes-see in the 1830s. Following the purchase of more land and the end of the Civil War, Lyles returned to Tennessee to encourage friends, family and recently freed slaves to join him at the Indiana set-tlement. There was room for many more: Lyles Station had more than 1,000 acres of land.

“This young community, when it first started out, was dedicated. It set down deep roots.” Madison said.

From 1880 through 1913, the self-sustaining commu-

nity blossomed to some 800 residents. In 1887, Wayman Chapel AME Church, the station’s second church was built. In its prime, Lyles Sta-tion also had 55 households, an elementary school, two general stores, a railroad station, a lumber mill and a post office.

A flood in 1913 damaged much of the land and caused an exodus. Afterwards, the Lyles Consolidated School open in 1919. It was an inte-grated school until 1922, transitioned to an all-black school and then integrated again in 1950. The school closed its doors in 1958, then reopened as a museum in 2003.

The museum has been involved in helping others preserve the important his-tory of Lyles Station and

African-American farm-ing. Lyles Station volun-teers have curated a perma-nent exhibit in the National Museum of African-Amer-ican History & Culture that displays different artifacts that have been passed down for generations. They also host a heritage classroom where students in third and fourth grade spend a week in a classroom modeled to match the original 1920s-era design.

Another program that the museum offers is their Underground Railroad Trunk, where any teacher in a 50-mile radius of the museum is able to get a trunk full of artifacts, read-ings and lessons to educate students on the Underground Railroad.

Madison hopes he can

apply for more grants to fur-ther develop Lyles Station. He’d like to establish camp-grounds, an amphitheater to agriculture classes, he hopes that he can create a way to attract more young people to learn everything about farm-ing.

“We need to share (the history) with as many young minds as we can,” said Mad-ison on the future plans of Lyles station. “A field trip or a Saturday afternoon is so important for them to learn about the early Afri-can American history of being farmers and how we were were able to take (what seemed like) worthless land, and some flooding land and make a living.”

Fond memories of a non-political Halloween

Halloween was fun while it lasted.For decades it has been the one

day of the year we could all forget our worries and live in the moment.

When I was a kid in the 1970s, Halloween was for kids.

As the weather became chilly and the leaves turned brilliant colors, we knew our annual candy haul would happen soon.

We didn’t put much effort into our costumes — any old sheet could be converted into a ghost outfit — but planning our trick-or-treat route took hours.

Since our parents wouldn’t let us begin trick or treat-ing until it got dark out — and since we had to be home before 8 p.m. — Tommy Guillen and I refined our routes every year with the intensity of logistics execu-tives.

We’d hit the well-to-do homes on the other side of the railroad tracks first.

Those people gave away full-size delicacies, includ-ing Hershey’s, Nestle Crunch, Milk Duds, Almond Joy, Snickers, Milky Way, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and my favorite, the Mallow Cup.

The only downside with well-to-do people was that, because their homes are farther apart, we had to travel a greater distance to earn that name-brand candy.

We’d then return to our own neighborhood of modest homes and then hit the small post-WWII ranch homes a few blocks away.

The wonderful people who lived in those houses had only one minor flaw: they favored the budget-conscious, locally made Clark Bar, which was made of peanut-butter taffy and a chocolate coating.

As an adult, I love Clark Bars and love that they are still being made 104 years after they were launched. But as a kid, they weren’t as valuable to me. I’d have to trade 10 of them to get a single Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

I’m incredibly nostalgic about my old trick-or-treat-ing days.

To this day, when I enjoy an occasional candy bar, the taste immediately transports me back to 1972 and the wonderful memory of arriving home with a pillow-case full of sugary loot, my feet raw from the effort.

Here’s why I am especially nostalgic about my child-hood Halloween memories: it was a time when kids were free to be kids — free to explore, create and blos-som — completely unburdened by the worries of the adult world.

In 1972, the Watergate scandal was in full swing, Bloody Friday bombs were exploding in Belfast and the last U.S. ground troops were being withdrawn from Vietnam.

But as those and other awful experiences played out in the wide cruel world, we kids were free to completely immerse ourselves in our innocent and uncomplicated Halloween traditions.

In recent years adults have grown to enjoy Halloween.

Until recently, it was the one day when they, too, could dress up in ridiculous costumes — costumes that often satirized current events or mocked people in the news in very funny ways — and really let themselves have fun.

But now, thanks to the fun-crushing power of social media, those days are over, too.

Politics has infused itself into every waking moment of our lives, including Halloween.

Some schools are canceling Halloween parties and parades. The media offer guidance on what costumes are politically and socially unacceptable.

Everyone is on guard, worried that he or she may be recorded doing or saying something politically incorrect that inadvertently offends somebody else.

It’s become a very bad idea to let yourself have too much fun, or one too many adult beverages, at a Halloween gathering.

As I said, our Halloween fun was good while it lasted.

The nation today has a surfeit of indignation, but wholesome exasperation — brisk impatience with foolishness — is always in short supply. Hence the exhilaration one experiences reading Judge Edith Jones’ dissent, 16 months ago, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, concerning a case the Supreme Court will hear next Tuesday. If Jones’ argu-ment was right, David Wilson’s case should not have reached the Supreme Court and his argument should not prevail there.

Wilson, who perhaps thinks niceness is overrated, does not play nicely with the other eight members of the Houston Community College System’s board of trustees. In 2018, the board, which has a tarnished recent history, reciprocated his antagonism, censuring him for having sinned against collegiality by things he had said and done. He twice sued the board (costing it nearly $300,000 in legal fees); he said the board has violated its bylaws; he hired one private investiga-tor to discover whether a board member lived in the appropriate district, and another to investigate the board; he produced robocalls critical of the board; and he amplified his criticisms in interviews.

Historically, legislatures have powers to reprimand members. Because courts are wary of judicial interfer-ence with legislative bodies, they enjoy wide latitude in disciplining members. The Houston board, which is elected, says its censure of Wilson was merely its spoken rejoinder to his speech criticizing it.

The U.S. House of Representatives censured a member who shouted “You lie!” during a Barack Obama address concerning health care. The New York Times’ Adam Liptak notes that in 2020, a year of imaginative vituperation, the city council of River Falls, Wisconsin, censured a member for describing someone opposed to mask-wearing as “a rancid tub of ignorant contagion.” This invective earned a censure as a subtraction from the residual dignity of public life.

If the Houston board, a government entity, had confined itself to calling Wilson a stinker and a mean-ie, this would merely have been government exercis-ing its right to speak its mind. Wilson could have replied that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” But the board accom-panied the censure with tangible penalties, including denying him reimbursement for travel expenses and making him ineligible to be a board officer. These penalties could be considered unconstitutional retalia-tion intended to chill his future speech. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court should hesitate before striding into

this minefield.A district court rejected Wilson’s flimsy

argument that the censure (BEG ITAL)by itself(END ITAL) violated his First Amend-ment right of free speech, as though disap-proval of his speech interfered with his speaking. So, he turned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. It got things exactly wrong.

The 5th Circuit majority said the censure alone was retaliation against constitution-ally protected speech, and — non sequitur alert — therefore was unconstitutional. He had told this court that he had suffered “mental anguish.” His woe-is-me whine was unbe-coming, considering his tough-guy, politics-ain’t-beanbag treatment of his board colleagues.

Dissenting, Judge Jones said, in effect: Good grief, a government entity expressing its disapproval of speech by a member of the entity does not suppress the member’s speech. Jones seemed to think that both the board and its tormentor need a timeout to compose themselves, and she cautioned courts that treating the board’s dispute as a justiciable matter will draw courts into refereeing — on the basis of improvised principles — innumerable such intramural squabbles. Jones wrote:

“Given the increasing discord in society and gov-ernmental bodies, the attempts of each side in these disputes to get a leg up on the other, and the ready availability of weapons of mass communication with which each side can tar the other, the panel’s deci-sion is the harbinger of future lawsuits. . . . Political infighting of this sort should not be dignified with a false veneer of constitutional protection and has no place in the federal courts.”

A Harvard Law Review analysis of the Wilson case notes that when all local legislatures are counted, a censure of speech currently occurs approximately every two days. If the Supreme Court sides with Wilson, it might soon hear from, among many oth-ers, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who was stripped of her House committee memberships after numerous lunatic statements, such as her reference to “the so-called plane that crashed into the Pentagon” on 9/11, and the clear and present danger of a “global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles.” Do federal courts want to formulate principles for sorting accept-able from unacceptable legislative reprimands of the exotic speech of unhinged members?

The Supreme Court should hesitate before striding into this free speech minefield

Progressives vs. independent contractorsDespite being a politi-

cian all his life, and never having worked in a blue-collar job, President Joe Biden declared, “I’m a union man,” when he announced his presidential campaign at a Teamsters union hall in Pittsburgh in April 2019.

What our president real-ly loves is big government and political power, and there is no more reliable money trough for Demo-crats than unions.

According to OpenSecrets, which tracks political spending, Biden’s campaign received $27.5 million in contributions from unions, compared with $360,000 from unions that went to former President Donald Trump’s campaign.

So, it is no surprise that the presi-dent and his party are now unfurling legislation aimed at protecting unions. It’s called the PRO Act — Protecting the Right to Organize.

The bill passed in the House, but with little prospect of it making it on its own in the evenly split Senate, Senate Democrats have buried it in the budget reconciliation bill that can pass with a simple majority and is not subject to filibuster.

What certain unions want is to take the country in the opposite direction where it needs to go in this new era of global competition and technology-enabled freelancing. But other unions, like those that represent truckers and journalists, are concerned about inde-pendent contractors being run out of their jobs.

Among the various major provi-

sions of the PRO Act is effec-tive nationalization of Califor-nia’s AB5 law that passed in 2019. This law makes hiring independent contractors much more difficult and specifies that contractors must be reclas-sified by businesses that hire them as employees, unless they meet specific and rigor-ous standards allowing them to stay independent.

The PRO Act takes direct aim at the powerful new tech-nology-enabled trend referred

to as the “gig economy.” These are freelancers and entrepreneurs of many different stripes who are buying into the flexibility of this new high-tech economy.

But entrepreneurship and flexibil-ity are exactly what big-government politicians and certain special interest unions don’t want.

Proposition 22 passage in Novem-ber 2020 provided protection for app-based transportation and delivery firms, such as Uber, Lyft and Door-Dash, from AB5.

But this still leaves many inde-pendent contractors subject to the law. This includes many truckers who are independent operators and are impacted by these onerous new requirements.

Truckers are seeking relief through the courts, now principally through the California Trucking Association moving its case to be heard in the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, truck-ers have gotten a court injunction to hold up their need to submit to AB5 requirments.

Another significant provision of the PRO Act would be the effective

elimination of right-to-work laws that exist today in 27 states.

Right-to-work laws enable work-ers in unionized workplaces that do not wish to join the union and pay dues to opt out. The PRO Act elimi-nates this option and forces all work-ers to pay union dues.

Considerable academic research points to positive economic results in right-to-work states in the way of higher employment growth, higher productivity, higher population growth and higher personal income growth compared with states without right-to-work laws.

The Census Bureau reports annu-ally on net population outbound and inbound for every state.

In the most recent report, 9 of the 10 states with the highest population inbound were right-to-work states, and 8 of the 10 states with the highest population outbound were forced-unionization states.

It is no accident that today, the number of American workers in unions is about half what it was 40 years ago.

We are entering into new times. Sweeping change was already tak-ing place before COVID-19 hit us. Now our post-COVID-19 economy is reemerging with new realities.

For our marketplace to get where it needs to go, we must embrace change, embrace the new, embrace entrepreneurship and flexibility. These are all things progressives don’t want. If the PRO Act becomes law, today’s challenges regarding labor and supply shortages will just get worse.

It’s time to embrace the new.© 2021 CREATORS.COM

TIME TO LOVEOn Saturday, Oct. 16,

Haitian gang members kid-napped 17 Christians work-ing with the organization Christian Aid Ministries, yet from the first day, this organization of Kingdom Christians has asked people to pray as fer-vently for the gang members as their brothers and sisters in Christ.

One of the hos-tage’s father even shared, “We are interested in the sal-vation of these (kid-nappers) and we love them.” Another father said, “As a family we are giving forgiveness to these men. We are not holding anything against them.”

While Christians in America are cursing other Christians because they belong to the wrong politi-cal party, the 17 kidnapped Christians, their families and Christian Aid Ministries are showing Christ’s love to even the vilest of sinners, recognizing that Christians are called to only wage war against the true enemy: Satan.

To honor their prayers for the kidnappers, and to honor the Gospel they want all to embrace, I pass along their doctrinal statement of non-resistance. I am not worthy to advocate for it, having never faced people eager to kill me, but perhaps that day will come. If it does, I pray I will remember these kidnapped Christians; I pray I’ll redeem this tragedy and, like the Christians in Haiti, choose to forgive and show love.

(Christian Aid Ministries published the following on its web site in response to “various comments” about their prayer requests for the kidnappers. To stay updated, visit the organization’s web site at www.christianaid-ministries.org.)

“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spite-fully use you and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44)

This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Any-one can love people who love them back. But…

• loving our enemies,• blessing those who

curse us,• doing good to those

who hate us, and• praying for those who

persecute us…is much harder. We

can do this only if we have the love of Jesus in our hearts.

Luke 6:27-36 is an expanded version of Mat-thew 5:44. It adds some practical examples to illus-trate what loving your ene-mies means. For instance, if someone hits you on the one cheek, offer that he can hit you on the other cheek as well. If someone steals your

cloak, offer him your tunic as well. Or, as the New Liv-ing Translation says, if he asks for your coat, offer him your shirt as well!

It is one thing to say that real Christians should love their enemies. But when we

read passages like the one in Luke 6; the challenge comes a lot closer home.

Jesus not only taught us to do these things, but also gave us an example of how to do them. When the Roman soldiers nailed Him to the cross, He

called out to God, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

How do you love your enemy and do good to those who hate you? Read Romans 12:19-21. This pas-sage lists three things you can do:

• Do not take revenge on your enemy for doing wrong to you

• If your enemy is hun-gry, give him food

• If your enemy is thirsty, give him something to drink.

The Bible calls this, “heap[ing] coals of fire on [your enemy’s] head.” What better way can there be to overcome evil than to over-come it by doing good?

What about blessing those who despitefully use you? And praying for those who persecute you, or misuse you? Our natu-ral tendencies are to do the opposite of this. We like to get revenge in a way that somehow causes trouble for someone who has offended us. Often, we try to make sure our “revenge” is worse than what we have received. But that isn’t God’s way. The Bible tells us that “a soft answer turns away wrath.”

Loving our enemies is another one of Jesus’ teach-ings that is much easier to talk about than to practice. The key word in this pas-sage is the word love. It is easier to love our enemies if we remember how God loved us. We were His enemy at one time. Yet He loved us so much that He sent His Son to earth to die for us.

How can we do anything less than to love our ene-mies, if He did this for us? Maybe, through our love for them, they will see God’s love and decide to accept it for themselves.

“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.” (2 Timothy 2:24-26)

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — A northeastern Indi-ana man has been convicted in the March slaying of his wife, who he claimed he shot after she threw a knife at him.

An Allen County jury found David Carwile, 56, guilty Thursday of murder

and use of a firearm in the shooting death of his wife at their Fort Wayne home.

Jurors heard evidence that Carwile had told an officer investigating his wife’s shooting, “I hope she dies,“ The Journal Gazette reported.

Carwile, who is sched-

uled to be sentenced Dec. 17, faces up to 65 years in prison, with the possibility of an additional 20 years for using a gun to commit the crime.

Police said Carwile, an antiques dealer who dealt in knives and other items, killed his wife, Joyce Car-

wile, 59, on March 19. He testified he was sitting on a living room couch next to a gun he kept in a remote con-trol bag on the arm of the sofa when she threw a knife at him.

Carwile said that in self-

defense he drew his gun with a shaking hand due to his multiple sclerosis and shot her in the chest.

When a Fort Wayne police officer investigating the shooting pulled Car-wile’s car over about an

hour later, Carwile’s bitter words about his wife were captured by the squad car’s recording system.

“Good, I hope she dies,” he said. “Take me down-town and lock me up.”

Wells Court Docket

Indiana man who alleged self-defense guilty in wife’s death

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Baker Mayfield’s back in the sad-dle — and huddle.

The Browns’ quarterback will start Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, returning after missing one game because of an injured left shoulder that will require manage-ment for the rest of this season.

Mayfield, who has a torn labrum and fracture in his non-throwing shoulder, practiced for the third straight day on Friday. Coach Kevin Stefanski announced afterward that the 26-year-old will be back in the lineup.

“Medically, he’s ready to go,” Stefanski said. “Our doc-tors, our trainers, the second opinions felt very comfortable about that and Baker, he feels that he’s ready and he feels like he’s ready to help this team win.”

By JOSH BURRISThe third time proved to be the charm for

the Norwell Knights Friday night as they defeated the Concordia Cadets from Fort Wayne 27-0 at The Courtyard in the section-al semifinal.

The two teams had met in sectional play the past two seasons, and Concordia had won both by scores of 17-14 in the 2019 sectional semifinals and 24-0 in the 2020 sectional championship game.

As good as it may have felt to finally defeat the Cadets, the Knights still have more business to take care of.

“They know that this one doesn’t mean anything really,” Norwell coach Josh Ger-ber said about his players after the win. “It allows us to play for a sectional champion-ship, but we haven’t won anything and they know that.”

The win sends Norwell to next Friday’s sectional championship game where it will face the Peru Tigers, which defeated the Oak Hill Golden Eagles 30-28 in double overtime in the other semifinal matchup.

After coming up short in last year’s championship, the Knights have had a goal since the start of the season of winning their first sectional since 2014.

Gerber is confident his kids will be focused and ready to go.

“That’s a goal that they set a long time ago, that they wanted to win the sectional,” Gerber said. “They are going to be hungry, and they are going to be ready.”

A big night from Luke Graft helped the Knights get there. The junior running back had 185 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 30 carries.

He got Norwell on the board on its first drive of the game on a 55-yard run. It ended up being the only score of the first half.

Graft also scored the first touchdown of the second half, but on the defensive side. The Cadets went three and out after receiv-ing the opening kickoff and lined up to punt on fourth-and-12. However, a 15-yard pen-alty on Norwell due to having 12 men on the field gave the Cadets a first down.

The very next play, Graft picked off Con-cordia quarterback Eli Mattox and ran 38 yards to the end zone. However, a fumble on the extra point attempt left the score 13-0.

Graft scored his second rushing touch-down later in the quarter, this time for 14 yards, and the Knights led 20-0.

“He’s a kid that’s just been outstanding for us all season. Probably more than any kid I’ve ever seen, he’s grown as a leader in these last three months,” Gerber said about his junior running back and linebacker. “He’s a great kid and had just outstanding effort on both sides of the ball tonight. And he was a huge part of why we won.”

Graft credited his offensive line for open-

ing up holes for the running game all night. Fellow running back Jon Colbert added 106 yards rushing on 17 carries.

“Our line played absolutely great tonight. We could not have done it without them,” Graft said.

The final Norwell touchdown came on the defensive side, when Drew Ringger recovered a fumble in the end zone.

Both teams had ball security issues at times as light rain fell most of the evening. It also made it difficult for both teams to pass the ball.

Mattox completed 2 of his 11 attempts for 27 yards and also threw three intercep-tions. Kline Neuenschwander picked off his other two passes. Norwell quarterback Lley-ton Bailey was 1-for-3 with 6 yards.

Luckily for the Knights, their strength all season has been running the football. But the Cadets have preferred to pass.

“I think they run a 65-35 percent pass to run ratio at least when we looked at the game film that we had. And so we knew it (the rain) was going to have an impact on how they played the game,” Gerber said. “It was hard to throw the football. We had a couple of opportunities where we tried and it just didn’t work out really well for us.”

Besides the two touchdowns Norwell’s defense scored, it also held the Cadets to 54 total yards and just four first downs.

“All in all, I’m really proud of the kids. It was a hard-fought game. They competed hard,” Gerber said. “That’s a good team. Their record isn’t indicative of what kind of team they are. So really proud that we were able to come out and play pretty well and get a nice win.”

Knights beat Cadets, but job not finished

Aldridge reaches 20,000 points, Nets beat Pacers

By DENIS P. GORMAN Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half, reaching 20,000 for his career, to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 105-98 victory over the Indiana Pac-ers on Friday night.

James Harden broke out of an early season slump with 29 points and Kevin Durant added 22 as the Nets evened their record at 3-3.

“Solid win,” Durant said, later add-ing the Nets “did a good job of fighting back.”

Aldridge became the 48th player in league history and the seventh active player to score 20,000 points.

“He has scorer’s instincts,” Durant said. “(It’s a) huge accomplishment. ...(A) huge milestone.”

Indiana dropped to 1-5 overall and 0-4 on the road despite 28 points from Torrey Craig. Chris Duarte added 19, Domantas Sabonis contributed 16 and Jeremy Lamb chipped in with 12.

“We’ve just got to stay in the fight,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. “We have plenty to win games right now. We’re just going to have to be very much on point. The margins are very slim and we’re (going) to have to stick together and play together.”

The Nets started slowly against a Pacers team that was playing without Isaiah Jackson (hyperextended right knee) and former Net Caris LeVert (stress fracture in his lower back) and

trailed by 16 after Craig knocked down an 11-foot jumper with 9:17 left in the second quarter. But Brooklyn fin-ished the quarter with a 28-9 run to lead 58-55 at halftime. Harden scored 13 points in that stretch. By the end of the third quarter, the advantage was stretched to 85-74, with Durant play-ing with a key role. Even though he only scored four points in the third, he grabbed six rebounds and handed out four assists, as well as seemingly being everywhere on the court. The benefi-ciary was Aldridge, who scored eight points on mostly mid-range jumpers.

“I was trying to make some stuff happen,” Durant said.

And yet, the Nets found themselves unable to pull away from the depleted Pacers, who drew even at 90-all after Sabonis made a free throw with 5:15 left the fourth. That was as close as Indiana would get, as Brooklyn’s tri-umvirate of stars would either score on assist on the Nets’ final 15 points.

“All you can ask is for us to give ourselves a chance to win,” Craig said. “I think we did that tonight. I think we competed for most of the game.”

TIP-INS:Pacers: The question posed to Car-

lisle in his pregame media availability was simple and straightforward: How do you defend Durant? His answer: “Any time he touches (the ball) over half court he’s a threat to score,” Car-lisle said. “And so limiting touches is on everybody’s high numbers wish list.

(But it’s) very difficult to do because he’s 7 feet tall and you just throw it up there. He’s got amazing ball skills. So (we) want to make it as difficult as possible for him to get to his spots, (and make it difficult for) him to get tin rhythm all the time and things like that. Very difficult job.”

Nets: The Nets were among the pre-season favorites to win the NBA cham-pionship but coach Steve Nash says his team is a work in progress. “It’s a pro-cess for us,” Nash said. “We lose Kyrie (Irving), and as guys are trying to work their way into shape and 10 new guys, it’s different. There’s a period of learning to play together and learning our best path towards scoring the ball effectively and efficiently is a process. It’s going to take us some time. So it’s not comparable to the prior look in many ways. We have to work at it and figure out how we can learn to play together in a really efficient and cohe-sive way.”

Raanta wins Carolina debut, Hurricanes top winless Blackhawks

By BOB SUTTON Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Antti Raanta made 23 saves and was a winner in his Carolina debut as the Hurricanes scored four goals in the first period in a 6-3 victory over the winless Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night, adding to their best start in franchise history.

Tony DeAngelo, Jordan Staal, Derek Stepan, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov scored as Carolina improved to 7-0-0.

For Raanta, there were awkward feelings.“For myself, it was a lot of emotions,” Raanta said. “It

was my first game since my dad passed away this August. So it has been a rough couple of months.”

Using Raanta instead of Frederik Andersen marked the only lineup change for the Hurricanes in their first seven games.

Andersen had his first shutout with Carolina on Thursday night against the Boston Bruins.

Raanta joined the Hurricanes as a free agent during the offseason. Andersen was given the night off as Carolina fin-ished its first set of back-to-back games.

Brandon Hagel, Adam Gaudette and Alex DeBrincat scored for the Blackhawks (0-6-2). Kevin Lankinen stopped 29 shots.

DeAngelo and Vincent Trocheck each had two assists for the Hurricanes.

“The points are great,” DeAngelo said. “That’s some-thing I’ve got to bring to the team.”

The Hurricanes scored four goals on 18 shots in the first period. Each of Carolina’s four lines scored, with 10 players making the scoresheet with either a goal or an assist in the first 19 minutes.

When Hagel and Gaudette scored less than 10½ minutes into the game, the Blackhawks matched the total number of first-period goals surrendered by Carolina in its first six games combined.

“Obviously eight games in and we don’t have a win, it’s terrible,” Hagel said. “Early on obviously it’s like, ‘Let’s keep playing the same way. We’re going to get out of this, we’re going to get out of this.’ I think we’re still trying to do that. We’re still trying to stay positive.”

By the end, the Hurricanes overcame 10 penalties.“Our skill took over a little bit at times and won us that

game,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “It’s not always going to be like that.”

Hurricanes in any period this season.They hadn’t posted four goals in the opening period of

ATLANTA (AP) — Rookie right-hander Ian Anderson and the Braves’ bullpen took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning, Austin Riley and Travis d’Arnaud drove in runs and Atlanta beat the Houston Astros 2-0 Friday night to grab a 2-1 lead in the World Series.

Anderson and four relievers combined on a two-hitter.

Pinch-hitter Aledmys Díaz blooped a single lead-ing off the eighth against

reliever Tyler Matzek that dropped in front of left fielder Eddie Rosario, just 232 feet from home plate, for Houston’s first hit.

Alex Bregman grounded a single through the wide-open right side of a shifted infield leading off the ninth against closer Will Smith, who remained perfect in five save chances this post-season.

Riley’s RBI double in the third off Astros rookie start-er Luis Garcia put Atlanta ahead, and d’Arnaud hit a 437-foot homer off Kend-all Graveman in the eighth.

It was d’Arnaud’s second home run of this World Series and first long ball at home this season.

Of the 60 previous times the Series was tied 1-1, the Game 3 winner went on to win 39 times — including six of the last nine.

Rosario walked leading off a 43-pitch half-inning in the third. Freddie Freeman singled and Garcia left an 0-1 cutter over the plate that Riley lined between Breg-man and third base, down the left-field line for an RBI double.

Jorge Soler walked, but

Garcia stranded the bases loaded when Adam Duvall fouled to first and d’Arnaud struck out.

The Braves, who strand-ed nine runners, improved to 6-0 this postseason at Truist Park, which opened in 2017 and where they have won 11 of their last 12 games. Atlanta stopped a five-game home World Series losing streak.

Houston, the top-hitting team in the majors during the season with a .267 aver-age, was limited to two hits, three walks and two hit bat-ters.

Destructive drinking drives a wedgeDear Annie: I am a 64-year-old man

with a 54-year-old wife. We’ve been mar-ried for 21 years now.

About eight years ago, we moved to Butte, Montana, so my wife could take a supervisor position for her work. It was a better job for her, and I reluctantly agreed to move, though it pretty much shut me down in my work and outside life where we were.

We both have drunk over the years, but as I got older and developed medi-cal issues, I pretty much stopped, both at home or out and about around town. My wife has gone the other way and uses drinking as a way to cope with work and life in general.

Her drinking has become a daily thing, and now most of it is hidden and done in private. Sure, she opens a bottle of wine at home in front of me, but she drinks the whole bottle or more. I don’t say a thing anymore because it’s just caused argu-ments and problems, so I’ve stopped.

The majority of the drinking is done with liquor or wine hidden in her tote bag, her clothes bin, or stashed in her vehicle. I’ve found wine cartons, empty liquor bot-tles and beer cans in various places around the house. She drinks on her way home from work and walks in the house already lit up, which creates different moods and personalities. She keeps her tote bag in her dressing room and, throughout the eve-ning, drinks whatever she has hidden.

She even drinks at work, going out at lunch, getting something and drink-ing through the afternoon, coming home already drunk. She pretends everything is normal, but I know better.

Through advice from Alcoholics Anon-ymous counseling, I’ve been documenting and photographing each day’s drinking. Doing that has helped me cope with her daily drunkenness, but it’s just getting old now.

Although I’ve told my wife several times that I know what she’s doing, she keeps it up — hiding her drinking and getting drunk nearly every day. She usu-ally passes out on the couch early and then goes to bed, but other times, she messes around in the kitchen, leaves things in dis-array and puts things anywhere. I never know what I’ll find. It’s almost like taking care of a little kid. It’s aggravating dealing with this kind of person all because they’re

drunk. Our relationship

has drifted apart because I become judgmental or don’t want to listen to her when I know she’s drunk. I just saw a half-empty bottle of vodka in her bag; she just walked in the door, complaining about the people who work for her or some other issue she has today — this mood, this drunk.

I’ve talked to her about this. I’ve asked her to stop — or just stop the hard liquor — and the hiding many times, but she keeps on. I’ve written letters to her stating my concern for her health and our relation-ship, and she says, “Yes, I have a problem, and I’ll stop,” but she never does.

She finds ways to blame me, and uses me in some way as an excuse or reason for it, but they all prove foolish. I just don’t know what to do. I obviously love and support her, but the years are going by, and my life and health are starting to suffer. Our life together is suffering, and I don’t know what to do.

I’ve gotten advice from ALANON counseling, and it doesn’t look good. What can you say and advise me on? Please help me with my situation. — Alcohol Creating Distance

Dear Alcohol: Your wife’s drinking is out of control. Hiding her booze and keep-ing secrets from you takes the situation to a new level. It is a miracle she has not killed someone driving drunk.

Consider speaking with her in the pres-ence of a counselor, where you can express your feelings in a safe, sober space outside the home.

Another option is to stage a small inter-vention with only close friends and family in attendance. You’re likely not the only one who misses the woman your wife used to be and wants to see her get the help she needs. Perhaps reinforcements will speak to the gravity of the situation and remind her how many people she has in her cor-ner who only want her to get better.

Q: Educators are putting too much pressure on young people today to be success-ful and make a lot of money. Should that be the highest goal in life? — C.S.

A: We admire those who appear to be successful. We are taught to be indepen-dent, to make it on our own. Yet within each of us is a deep-seated frustration: “I ought to be better. I believe I was made for something more; there must be more to life than this. Why am I so empty?”

Such feelings can cause us to struggle toward some unknown, unnamed goal. While we are told to “plan ahead,” few really think

about the future. A good many people make spontaneous decisions, never considering the

consequences. When their world begins to crumble, they look back and won-der how they got where they are. They begin to feel empty inside. Their empti-ness is the absence of God in their lives.

There was once a bril-liant young lawyer who did not seem to find a need for God. He began to write about a famous person, hoping to find a surpris-ing secret to his life. In the process of his research, he discovered that the man had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which led the young attorney on his own spiritual quest.

The only answer to fill-ing the empty place in the heart is found only in God. In this Age of quest, the most important is our per-sonal search for answers concerning life that will lead us to the One who cre-ated life in the first place. His name is Almighty God and He cares deeply for mankind and proved it by making a way for us to have eternal life and joy unspeak-able. “You will show me the path of life; in Your pres-ence [Lord] is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11).
