Strikes Shock Nation
Airborne terrorists attack and attack again By DAVID CRARY and JERRY SCHWARTZ The Associated Press
NEW YORK — In the most devastating terrorist onslaught ever waged against the United States, knife-wielding hijackers crashed two airliners into the World Trade Center on Tuesday, toppling its twin 110-story towers. The deadly calamity was witnessed on televisions across the world as another plane slammed into the Pentagon, and a fourth crashed outside Pittsburgh. ‘‘Today, our nation saw evil,’’ President Bush said in an address to the nation Tuesday night. He said thousands of lives were ‘‘suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.’’ Said Adm. Robert J. Natter, commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet: ‘‘We have been attacked like we haven’t since Pearl Harbor.’’ Establishing the U.S. death toll could take weeks. The four airliners alone had 266 people aboard and there were no known survivors. In addition, a firefighters union official said he feared an estimated 200 firefighters had died in rescue efforts. Dozens of police officers were believed missing. No one took responsibility for the attacks that rocked the seats of finance and government, but federal authorities identified Osama bin Laden — who has been given asylum by Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers — as the prime suspect. Aided by an intercept of communications between his supporters and harrowing cell phone calls from at least one flight attendant and two passengers aboard the jetliners before they crashed, U.S. officials began assembling a case linking bin Laden to the devastation. U.S. INTELLIGENCE intercepted communications between bin Laden supporters discussing the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, according to Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The people aboard planes who managed to make cell phone calls each described similar circumstances: They indicated the hijackers were armed with knives, in some cases stabbing flight attendants. They then took control of the planes. At the World Trade Center, the dead and the doomed plummeted from the skyscrapers, among them a man and woman holding hands. ‘‘Freedom itself was attacked this morning and I assure you freedom will be defended,’’ said Bush, who was in Florida at the time of the catastrophe. As a security measure, he was shuttled to a Strategic Air Command bunker in Nebraska before leaving for Washington. ‘‘Make no mistake,’’ he said. ‘‘The United States will hunt down and pursue those responsible for these cowardly actions.’’ More than 9 hours after the U.S. attacks began, explosions could be heard north of the Afghan capital of Kabul, but American officials said the U.S. was not responsible. ‘‘It isn’t us. I don’t know who’s doing it,’’ Pentagon official Craig Quigley said.

EXPLOSION: A fireball erupts from one of the towers of the World Trade Center after an airplane apparently under the control of terrorists slammed into the building. The other tower had been hit by another plane minutes earlier. The 110-story towers later collapsed. Officials across the world condemned the attacks but in the West Bank city of Nablus, thousands of Palestinians celebrated, chanting ‘‘God is Great’’ and handing out candy. AT THE PENTAGON, , the symbol and command center for the nation’s military force, one side of the building collapsed as smoke billowed over the Potomac River. Rep. Ike Skelton, briefed by Pentagon officials, said, ‘‘There appear to be about 100 casualties’’ in the building. The television images were extraordinary: a plane slamming into the second tower as smoke poured from the first; the buildings tumbling down and vanishing in a gray cloud; bloodied survivors stumbling through the streets of Manhattan, covered with dust and ashes. The attacks altered the very skyline of Manhattan, destroying two buildings where 50,000 people worked. The first airstrike occurred shortly before 8:45 a.m. EDT. By evening, huge clouds of smoke still billowed from the ruins. A burning, 47-story part of the World Trade Center complex — already evacuated — collapsed in flames just before nightfall. Emergency Medical Service worker Louis Garcia said initial
reports indicated that bodies were buried beneath the 2 feet of soot on streets around the trade center. ‘‘A lot of the vehicles are running over bodies because they are all over the place,’’ he said. For the first time, the nation’s aviation system was completely shut down as officials considered the frightening flaws that had been exposed in security procedures. Financial markets were closed, too. TOP LEADERS OF Congress were led to an undisclosed location, as were key officials of the Bush administration. Guards armed with automatic weapons patrolled the White House and military aircraft secured the skies above the capital city. Evacuations were ordered at the tallest skyscrapers in several cities, and high-profile tourist attractions closed — Walt Disney World, Mount Rushmore, Seattle’s Space Needle, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The Federal Reserve, seeking to provide assurances about the nation’s banking system, said it would provide additional money to banks if needed. See WITNESSES on Page 2A

Veterans say U.S. should retaliate Terrorist attack reminiscent of Pearl Harbor
By SETH SLABAUGH The Star Press
MUNCIE — Members of American Legion posts said the United States should seek revenge after Tuesday’s attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, which reminded many of Pearl Harbor. “We ought to find out who did it and make them pay,” Art Carell of the Hartford City post said Tuesday. “We’ve let our hands down too long.” “I think we ought to find out who is responsible for it and go after them,” said Gary Young, from the post in Albany, where “everyone’s in disbelief.” Will Hale, from the post in downtown Muncie, said, “My first reaction is, bomb the heck out of them.” World War II veteran Clinton Beaty of Muncie said, “This is a terrible thing. It comes as a heck of a surprise. I was thinking about Pearl Harbor all over again. This is as bad or worse than that. Everything is shut down all over
the country. Lord, help us.” Beaty said his mind wasn’t clear enough yet to form an opinion on how the United States should respond. “I guess we should leave it up to the president and his team to do whatever they think is best,” Beaty said. “He’s already said they’ll pay for it.” Beaty suspects Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was responsible for the attacks. Bill Evans, a Korean War veteran and member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Muncie, believes Osama bin Laden, the leader of a terrorist organization known as “The Base,” is liable for the attack. “I think we ought to go blow that place off the map,” Evans said, referring to bin Laden’s hiding place in Afghanistan. “He is one pure butthole as far as I’m concerned. He’s somebody who shouldn’t even be on this earth.” U.S. Rep. Mike Pence sympathized with those calling for retribution. “I actually hope the sun doesn’t
come up in the Middle East tomorrow without the United States having struck some target in retaliation for this,” Pence told The Star Press. During a 1998 interview with ABC News, bin Laden, a Muslim, said his message to Americans was: “. . . if they value their lives and those of their children, find a nationalistic government that will look after their interests and not the interest of the Jews. The American government, we think, is an agent that represents Israel inside America; . . . we find the American government turning toward helping Israel in occupying our land and building settlements in the Holy Land.” Jim Voiles, commander of the American Legion post in Cammack, said, “If we find out where it’s coming from, we should take drastic measures. Round up everybody with a Marine card and send them across the pond.” Ron Alexander, a retired Marine master sergeant, said, “This should be a wake-up call to the American people. This is basically

Gas prices reported at $4-a-gallon level
MUNCIE — Muncie Mall officials decided to close the mall Tuesday afternoon out of respect for the loss suffered by many American families “due to tragic events of the day.” In an interview, the mall’s Steve Buckley urged the public to remain calm. “The important thing for everybody is to try not to panic,” Buckley said. The mall should re-open today, he said. In other news:

demand could affect supply in the short term, and it would raise prices. “Raising gasoline prices is a natural reaction to slow down the demand,” he said. Even so, local police and fire crews filled up fire trucks and police cars Tuesday. Emergency supplies are guaranteed to public safety departments, Canan said. Richard Parker passed up crowded pumps in south Muncie
before waiting in line to fill up at Williams Truck Plaza in Daleville, where all four stations at the Interstate 69 interchange with Ind. 67 were charging only $1.59 a gallon for regular unleaded about 3:30 p.m. A half hour later, his wife paid $1.90 a gallon at a Swifty in Muncie. Reporters Rick Yencer, Eldon Pitts, Ric Routledge, T.J. Wilham and Seth Slabaugh contributed to this report.
Regardless of who orchestrated Tuesday’s attacks, however, they mark a terrible change for our country. Americans have not been psychologically prepared for such acts of devastation. “We’ve been lucky compared to others that have been used to this,” Byers said. Terrorist groups have generally ignored America because of a belief that attacks against us would ultimately hinder attainment of their goals, he said. Tuesday’s events, he fears, open us up to many new threats. The startling effectiveness of

Tuned to the company’s computer scans of prices at various pipeline terminals, Johnson said, prices in East Central Indiana were not nearly as high as elsewhere in the state. Prices at the Flying J Travel Plaza in Spiceland, Muncie’s Meijer Store and a Swifty’s on South Madison had also hit the $1.90 mark by late afternoon, but prices at other stations remained less than $1.70. “Prices are probably going to go up even higher, because people are panicking,” she said. “People have began lining up down the highway at [the Muncie Meijer store], and I heard that they are running out of fuel at stations in Fishers and can’t get more product.” Greg Seiter, media-relations manager for the state’s AAA headquarters, reported prices at some random Indiana stations ranging from $4 to as much as $6 a gallon. Crude oil prices topped $30 a barrel Tuesday, he said, and some national supply pipelines had been shut down after terrorists commandeered jet airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Tuesday’s reaction differed from the OPEC embargo in the early 1970s, Ricker said, because supplies of oil had been cut off at the source back then. “We’ve heard official reports of

the attacks also is sobering, he said. “This did not require that equipment be brought into the United States,” Byers said. “The planes were used as weapons.” The ramifications of today’s attacks are liable to be profound, he added. “We will understand . . . this sort of thing can happen here,” Byers said. In a practical, even more depressing vein, he added, Americans will receive a painful national lesson in dealing with the aftermath of terrorism. As for preventing future acts, Byers said the sad truth is, it’s not possible. Terrorism is about power, and indiscriminately killing Americans is an effective way to prove we are vulnerable. “That’s a message that terrorists like to send,” Byers said.

Terrorist actions delay Maui pairings THE STAR PRESS STAFF REPORT
MUNCIE — Terrorist actions in the eastern United States on Tuesday caused the announcement of the pairings for the Maui Invitational basketball tournament to be delayed. Ball State University is one of the eight teams in the Maui field. A new title sponsor for the tournament was supposed to be announced Tuesday and pairings for the first round were to be released today. Chris Hartweg, media relations director for the Maui tournament, told The Star Press the announcements would be delayed. Hartweg said the title sponsor and pairings information might be announced the same day, and he said it might still be done this week.
Football Center Grove rejoins 5A poll; Delta still tops 4A By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Center Grove is back in The Associated Press Class 5A football poll, at least until Friday night’s showdown against top-ranked Indianapolis Ben Davis. Center Grove, the state tourney runner-up to Penn last year, dropped out of the rankings after a season-opening loss to Martinsville. But victories the past 3 weeks put the Trojans back into the poll at No. 10 on Tuesday. The No. 1 teams in Indiana’s four other classes also were unchanged, with Delta in Class 4A, Heritage Hills the unanimous pick in 3A, Evansville Mater Dei still the leader in 2A, and Southern Wells again on top in Class A. Shenandoah in Class A and Eastbrook in Class 2A were the only other ECI teams receiving votes this week. Noblesville, whose 48-0 loss to Hamilton Southeastern was its second defeat of the season, dropped out of the rankings from the No. 9 spot. Ben Davis was again the unanimous choice for No. 1, receiving all 21 first-place votes and a perfect 420 rating points from an AP panel of sports writers and broadcasters from throughout the state. The Giants play at Center Grove on Friday night, when they will try to avenge last year’s semistate tourney loss to the Trojans. The next five teams in the 5A poll also were unchanged from last week, with Penn again second, Castle third, Warsaw fourth, Warren Central fifth and Valparaiso sixth. Both Penn and Warren Central are among Ben Davis’s victims already this season.

Sports came to a standstill Tuesday in the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, with major league baseball postponing a full schedule of regular-season games for the first time since D-Day in 1944. The daily grind of professional and college practices halted, as athletes and their coaches tried to come to grips with the tragedy. Ballparks were empty, race tracks were dark and sports television networks dropped highlight films and replayed scenes of the day’s devastation. ‘‘This is a sad, sad day in America,’’ golfer Tiger Woods said. Aside from work stoppages, it was the first time since the Allied invasion of France that baseball wiped out a whole day of regular-season play. ‘‘In the interest of security and out of a sense of deep mourning for the national tragedy that has occurred today, all major league baseball games for today have been canceled,’’ baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. The NFL, criticized for playing after President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, said it wasn’t sure whether to play this weekend’s schedule. College football commissioners were considering the postponement of the weekend’s entire schedule of games, with a decision expected as early as today. The PGA Tour canceled Thursday’s starts of the World Golf Championship. Garnet ‘‘Ace’’ Bailey, 53, a former NHL player with Boston, Detroit and St. Louis, and currently director of pro scouting for the Los Angeles Kings, was aboard United Airlines Flight 175 that hit the World Trade Center. Mark Bavis, an amateur scout for the Kings, also was aboard. Selig called off the baseball owners’ quarterly meeting that was to start Tuesday but didn’t make any decision about today’s games.

SALT LAKE CITY — Stunned Olympic officials said Tuesday that security for the 2002 Winter Olympics will be completely re-evaluated in the wake of terrorist attacks on America. But they vowed the games will go on as planned 5 months from now. A $200-million plan to protect athletes and spectators is no longer sufficient in the wake of Tuesday’s attacks, said Mitt Romney, president of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. ‘‘I look for the federal government to revisit the public safety plans for the games,’’ Romney said. ‘‘We will be fully engaged in that process and will make it our highest priority.’’ Both Romney and Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, though, said the games would be held as scheduled Feb. 8-24. Romney said they could help serve as a healing force for a troubled world. ‘‘The games for me are a symbol of the human spirit and world peace,’’ Romney said. ‘‘That symbol is needed more today than ever before.’’ Romney was in Washington D.C., discussing security plans for the Games when the terrorist attacks hit. He was in the Ronald Reagan building when he and his staff were evacuated to Virginia. The day before, Romney met with the director of the FBI and members of Congress to review security plans and press for the final disbursement of $12.7 million to government agencies for Olympic security. Romney said everything involving security has changed. ‘‘The conduct of public safety in this country can never be the same,’’ he said. ‘‘I thought the program was a complete and holistic plan, which did not have gaping holes or obvious weaknesses. I think that characterization has to be completely reevaluated in light of today’s tragedy.’’

MUNCIE — When events happen like Tuesday’s terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C., most other events in life become quite insignificant in comparison. East Central Indiana high schools certainly took that to heart when they canceled or postponed all athletic events Tuesday. “We just thought this would be a good time for kids to be home, to see the news and think about that rather than practices or games,” Burris athletic director Ray Dawson said. “This is probably the most significant event that will happen in their lifetime. We thought it might be good for the kids to be at home with their families.”
All high school and most college sporting events involving East Central Indiana teams were canceled or postponed because of the terrorist activities in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Dawson talked to his coaches before officially calling off Burris’s events. “We were pretty much in agreement that their minds weren’t on [the events] either,” he said. Southside athletic director Tom Lyon said it simply made sense. “We did it out of respect for the things that have happened and the people that have passed,” He said.
“This is a time for kids to be with their families.” He also got a little help in making his decision. “I talked to other schools, and [Muncie Community Schools Superintendent Marlin] Creasy and the [administration] building helped make the decision,” Lyon said. “It’s time to be with the family.” Central volleyball coach Dave Shondell had no problem with the decision to postpone his team’s match because he thought it was a time he wanted to spend with his family, including daughter Lindsay, the Bearcats’ setter. “When you’re a family involved in athletics, it seems like you’re running from one place to another,” he said. “I’m pleased to be able to come home and anxious to have a meal
together as a family. It’s amazing how seldom that could happen.” Shondell said he and his family would certainly sit down as a family and talk about the events of the day. But he said he didn’t think there was a whole lot he could say. “You do your best, especially with the ones that are the youngest, to explain why,” Shondell said. “Not that I have very many answers except that there are a lot of strange people with strange ideas. You have to be thankful for how lucky we are that we’re in a location that for the time being is not in danger. “But you have to try and understand what it’s like for the people involved. There are people in Los Angeles waiting on husbands, wives, grandparents that aren’t going to show up.”
Ball State football team in less giving mood COLLEGE FOOTBALL: The Cardinals have committed only one turnover in their first two games this season. By DOUG ZALESKI The Star Press
MUNCIE — One of the most notable areas of improvement made by the Ball State University football team this season has been its reduction of turnovers. The Cardinals were third worst in turnovers in the MidAmerican Conference last year,
giving away the ball 30 times on fumbles and interceptions. In two games this year against Southeastern Conference teams, including a contest against a good Auburn defense, the Cardinals committed only one turnover. Perhaps it’s more than just good luck. Ball State’s coaches constantly emphasize the need to take care of the ball. “I hope it’s concentration and effort,” Ball State coach Bill Lynch said. “We work a lot on it in the preseason, and hopefully it carries over.” Perfect ball security — PBS as every Cardinal player knows it
— is a phrase players have heard hundreds of times. It’s the art of tucking the football high and to the side of their chest as players advance the ball up field. Ball State’s players are taught to carry the ball using three pressure points: • No. 1: They claw the tip of the football with the hand farthest away from where defenders will deliver a hit. The index finger and second finger are split, allowing the tip of the ball to rest securely. • No. 2: The ball is pressed against the side of their chest
with the forearm. That puts pressure on the ball from the outside. • No. 3: The back part of the ball is secured near the arm pit. The tip of the back end of the ball is squeezed between the elbow and ribs. “We want to make sure they carry the ball high and tight, which is one of our key phrases,” Ball State running backs coach Keith Otterbein said. “We evaluate that every day in practice and every play in games.” Ball State’s only fumble this season came in the opener when backup quarterback Brian Conn
gave up the ball after being hit hard on a sack. Ball State’s running backs had seven fumbles last year in 420 rushing attempts. They fumbled eight times in 1999 and six times in 1998. “I’d like to think it can get lower than that,” Otterbein said. “If we put the ball on the turf once every other game . . . it just depends how many times you carry it. Four or five [fumbles] in a season is where I expect it to be.” See CARDINALS on Page 3C

▼ RECALLS
STRANDED: Travelers in some parts of the country have not been told when airports might reopen. The Star Press
Product: Kids II is recalling about 21,000 Carter’s butterfly baby toys. The recall involves Carter’s Activity Butterflies with 3-inch long bendable antennae. The body of the stuffed butterfly toy is green and purple, and the wings are multi-colored. The toy makes various “fun sounds” when squeezed. Mass merchandise and juvenile specialty stores nationwide sold the toys from February through August for between $15 and $20. Problem: The antennae contain wire that can pass through the fabric, causing cuts and scratches to babies. What to do: Consumers should take these toys away from babies immediately and return the toy to the store where bought or contact Kids II for a free replacement butterfly toy. For more information, call Kids II’s toll-free number — (877) 325-7056 — weekdays or visit the firm’s Web site at www.kidsii.com.
MUNCIE — Some local residents had their vacation plans come to a halt Tuesday morning after terrorist attacks closed airports across the country. A local couple were at Indianapolis International Airport, planning to go to Grand Cayman Island. They returned to Muncie after flights were canceled and the state’s largest airport shut down about 9 a.m., said Jill Watson, branch manager of Muncie AAA travel agency.
Other local residents had vacation trips to San Francisco and elsewhere put on hold indefinitely. The impact on travelers across the country is staggering, said Watson, who has been involved in the travel industry for 15 years. “It compares to nothing. During wars, we’ve seen airports on high alert before, but I’ve never seen a situation where all the airports have been closed like this.” A partial saving grace for the travel industry might be that early September is typically a slow period for vacation travel, Watson said. Still, the shutdowns — announced after bombings at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon — will have a lingering
effect, Watson said. Stranded travelers in some parts of the country have not been told when airports might reopen. On Tuesday afternoon, most airlines said flights from Indianapolis would resume early today. A couple of airlines planned to resume service Tuesday evening, Watson said. “When the airports do open again, it will be very chaotic,” she said. “People will need to exercise much patience and understanding.” People who have planned vacations for this week should call their travel agents to check the status of their trip and find out whether it will need to be rescheduled and whether any penalties might be assessed or waived, Watson said.

Workplace anger can be costly
Dating in down times can be tough Getting a pink slip doesn’t give you the right to sing the blues when on a date, according to Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider, authors of The Rules. The doyennes of dating dictums for women strongly urge the unemployed and those with jitters about losing their jobs to avoid treating their dates like therapists. Airing concerns about your wobbly economic situation could easily shrivel a blossoming relationship, they said. Furthermore, your romantic life shouldn’t end simply because of work tension. ‘‘No matter how you feel, you need to treat dating like you would finding a job,’’ Schneider said. ‘‘It’s not a good idea to neglect your social life.’’ It’s also crucial to avoid letting your personal appearance go to pot despite financial strain.

ottles of one generic copy of Eli Lilly Co.’s Prozac cost 20 percent less than the original antidepressant at Osco Drugs last week, but the price gap likely will grow, a veteran pharmacist and manager of the company’s White River Boulevard store said. A month’s supply of generic, 20-milligram capsules cost $66.69, compared to $83.69 for a bottle of what until last month had been the world’s best-selling antidepressant. Lilly’s market share changed dramatically after the Indianapolis-based company’s 13-year protective patent expired Aug. 2. “After a year, competition will force the generics’ prices down, and the cost should stabilize,” Osco pharmacist Wayne Randolph said. “Still, $17 a month in savings is not bad.” However, a local physician said he would depend on his patients’ individual successes with the generic alternatives before choosing to prescribe them long term. “The problem with generics is that manufacturers are not held to the same standards regarding bio-availability,” said John Lee, a physician at CHS Family Health Care of Muncie who estimated that 10 percent of U.S. citizens take a feel-better, prescription drug. The copycats’ potencies, Lee said, can vary by as much as 20

“The problem with generics is that manufacturers are not held to the same standards regarding bio-availability.” John Lee physician miserable, it will be up to them to decide if it is worth saving $17 a month,” Lee said. “It’s like buying a car in some instances: Do they want the best car money can buy, or do they want something that will only get them around town without turning any heads.” Insurance companies also might have a huge effect on what patients wind up taking. Before generic alternatives become available, Lee said, insurers might expect policyholders to cough up a relatively small co-payment. Once generics hit the shelves, however, the companies might increase the co-payment they expect for the original drug while offering policyholders a lower co-payment for the generic version. “The generics may not be as effective for some patients, but those patients get penalized for needing the brand name,” Lee said.

‘I knew the problem could be licked’ E-mails to Sri Lanka help man get cheaper drugs
▼ WORKPLACE
Employees with short fuses and managers who don’t know how to deal with them can be costly to a company. Not only does anger contribute to health problems, it hinders productivity, according to a newsletter published by RainmakerThinking Inc., a New Haven, Conn.-based recruitment and consulting firm. It’s a good idea to reprimand employees who are prone to yelling to avoid disruptions that harm job performance, workplace anger expert Donald Gibson said in the newsletter. ‘‘Good employees won’t [and shouldn’t] work in places where they feel threatened, disrespected and harassed,’’ he said. At the same time, managers should foster an environment where ‘‘appropriate’’ expressions of anger are accepted. And if a subordinate blows up, managers should listen carefully, withhold judgments, investigate the source of the rage and do something to resolve it. The Associated Press

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Five years ago, Michael McCormick found himself uninsured and barely able to afford the medication he takes for his thyroid disorder. ‘‘I knew the problem could be licked,’’ said McCormick, a Rochester freelance writer. His search led him to Sri Lanka, where he now e-mails a pharmacy his prescription orders and has them shipped to him to avoid American prices, he says. McCormick is one of many Americans looking abroad to save money on the medicines they rely on, and he has joined the ranks of people building businesses around the practice. Not everyone supports the idea. In fact, most physicians and insurers advise their patients against buying drugs outside the country because standards are not the same. But as prescription costs have escalated and coverage becomes more limited, companies and organizations have formed across the country to try to help residents obtain drugs elsewhere for less. Two years ago, McCormick compiled a list of pharmacies in other countries and created a guide titled ‘‘E-Pharmacy.MD’’ to show people how to buy prescriptions abroad by e-mail and regular mail. So far, McCormick, has sold about 2,900 books for $29.95 each, which he promotes on his Web site, www. medicines.md. ‘‘Most of what you are buying was already produced

Bell founded the club after he turned 65 and realized he had a $6,000 annual prescription drug bill and no coverage. ‘‘I said, ‘Good lord, how am I going to pay $6,000 a year?’ ‘‘When I found out the savings in Canada, I was like a madman,’’ Bell said. Bell’s concept is not new. In recent years, American seniors have been forming clubs and driving to Canada by the busload to fill their prescriptions. Insurers, pharmaceutical companies and physicians argue that patients who buy drugs overseas are not protected by the safeguards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. ‘‘We don’t encourage or discourage people from doing this,’’ Preferred Care official Michael Traphagan said. ‘‘But there is a caution — the one thing you don’t have are all of the safety checks.’’ But McCormick is out to prove that the United States isn’t the only option. ‘‘We’re not the only country in the world that has a safe prescription drug program,’’ he said.

When painting, the color choice or combination of colors (‘‘color palette’’) has a significant effect on both the appearance and value of a home. This is true of both interior — and exterior — painting projects. At the exterior, the color configuration can make a narrow house appear wider or a short, stubby house look taller. On the interior, a light color can make a room appear larger, while a dark color has the opposite effect. Beyond color, a little paint and a lot of imagination can go a long way in adding to a home. Decorative painting techniques such as rag rolling, graining, marbling and sponge painting can do wonders to add both depth and interest to a space. If your talent does not exceed Rorschach drawings or you failed kindergarten art, you might want to try a simpler, yet equally decorative technique — stencil painting. Unlike the other techniques noted, painting with stencils requires little skill. You don’t need to worry about ‘‘coloring out of
the lines,’’ and a stencil can be used over and over to create a theme, pattern or border. What’s more, your creativity needn’t be limited to your home’s interior. Mailboxes, fences, fountains, flowerpots and trellises can be embellished with flowers, trailing ivy, birds and butterflies or with whatever your imagination dictates. Stencil painting is fun, easy, inexpensive and doesn’t take much time. Start by deciding what you want to decorate and the subject or design that you want to use. Let’s say you want to add a rose and some trailing ivy to a mailbox. Find a drawing of a rose and some ivy in a crafts book, art book or magazine. The size of the original art can be increased or decreased using a copy machine. Once you have the desired size, lay a sheet of clear acetate over the art, tape it into place and trace the design onto the acetate using a medium- to fine-point indelible marker. Remove the acetate, tape it onto a sheet of cardboard and carefully cut the stencil with a utility knife. Don’t rush it — the quality of your finished product has everything to do with how well your stencil is cut. Plan stencils with one cutout sheet for each color. For example, if your subject is a red rose, you will need one stencil for the

A few months ago, you printed a letter from ‘‘Tim in Evansville, Ind.,’’ who said his wife died of ovarian cancer. Her only symptom was swelling in one foot. (A tumor was impacting the blood flow.) Doctors misdiagnosed the problem, and when they found the cancer, it was too late. I want to thank Tim for writing to you. If it weren’t for his letter, I would not have known to mention this to my own doctor. Last summer, I began having problems with my feet swelling. The left ankle and foot were swelling much more than the right. I went to my regular doctor and was given water pills. Later, when the swelling did not go away, I tried to schedule another appointment, but he couldn’t see me until the day after Tim’s letter appeared in your column. When I went for my exam, I took your column with me. The next few weeks included an ultrasound and blood tests. The doctor found a cyst on my

New Get Real Girls dolls are the anti-Barbies THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Barbie’s buxom bod and fashion fripperies have long been under attack for setting unrealistic standards for girls. So a decade ago, a new doll challenged her supremacy. With a more realistic body shape, the ‘‘Happy to Be Me’’ doll was widely applauded by adults. But girls took to her like broccoli with liver sauce, and within months, Happy headed off to that great garage sale in the sky. Barbie never blinked. Lesson: To challenge Barbie, you have to offer something more than just Not Being Barbie. Now the six Get Real Girls are on the scene, with a buzz that has the inventors crossing their fingers that they have a hit. They’re all about Not Being Barbie. What they offer in return is fully jointed, highly accessorized adventure. Claire is not a doll you’d fantasize taking to the mall, because her swim fins would get caught in the escalator. The dolls’ unprissy flat feet fit into cleats, sneakers and hiking boots. Their arms and legs can move into poses that Barbie can only dream of. Each of the girls specializes in a particular sport — Gabi the soccer player, Nini the mountaineer, Skylar the snowboarder, Corey the surfer, Nakia the basketball player and Claire the scuba diver. The Get Real Girls are part of a wave of Not-Barbie dolls that have hit the market recently. Smartees, for instance, come in a variety of careers, such as Ashley the attorney and Vicky the
veterinarian (dog, syringe and bandages included). The Get Set Club dolls come in simple T-shirts, jeans and sneakers, with separately sold career outfits. The Get Real Girls national debut occurs this month as a half-million of the dolls — and their backpacks, sunglasses, watches, water bottles, passports and sports gear — hit specialty stores and Target with a $24.99 price tag. The wide release follows months in which the dolls were available only at a few specialty stores and online dealers. ‘‘It’s been phenomenal,’’ said Jana Machin, the company’s chief executive officer. ‘‘We get so much feedback from girls and parents, both moms and dads: ‘She’s rockclimbing up the side of our couch.’ ” Next year, the company plans to add two more girls, Kadin (volleyball) and Zoe (skateboarding), and two Get Real Guys — Piersin and Jack (skateboarding and surfing). Packed in with all the dolls’ baggage is a sense of social duty. Their principal designer, Julz Chavez, is cousin to the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez. Chavez, who used to work for Barbie’s maker, Mattel, designed the dolls to look fit and athletic but not anorexic. The six dolls encompass several races and nationalities and, according to the stories that come with them, have ambitions that include becoming a doctor and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. ‘‘She looks very athletic, . . . and it’s a bit more dignified,’’ Machin said.
Stencil painting a fun way to decorate PAINTING: Even people who are artistically challenged can add a bit of flair to their homes.

Plan stencils with one cutout sheet for each color. For example, if your subject is a red rose, you will need one stencil for the red-rose petals and one stencil for the green stem and leaves. red-rose petals and one stencil for the green stem and leaves. This will prevent colors that are close to one another or that overlap from ‘‘bleeding,’’ and will ensure better results. Add registration marks (a small cross) to the corners of each stencil so that the various sheets can be aligned to complete the design. Poke a small hole at the center of each of the registration marks and use a pencil point to transfer these points to the surface being painted. Align subsequent registration marks with these points. Before painting with a stencil, make sure the object to be painted is clean and has a base color that will be enhanced by the stencil colors. A light color is usually a safe bet. Unfinished surfaces should be sanded, primed and painted with one to two coats of finish. Once the finish coat has dried (and before beginning stencil painting), use a pencil to lay out your stencil design and/or repeating pattern on the object to be
painted. Tape the first color stencil to the object using blue painters’ tape. It isn’t so sticky and can be removed without taking paint with it. With the stencil securely in place, dip a stencil brush into the first color, remove the excess paint onto a piece of paper and bounce the brush straight up and down onto the stencil. In contrast to a traditional paintbrush, a stencil brush is round and contains short, dense bristles. After you complete the first color, carefully remove the first stencil and dry the paint using a hand-held hair dryer. Tape the second stencil into place — aligning with the registration marks — and repeat the process using the appropriate color. Repeat the process for each of the stencils. Cleaning the stencils and brushes frequently will prevent paint from smearing and render the best results. For more home improvement tips and information, visit our Web site at www.onthehouse.com.
this newspaper. Dear Ann Landers: Many young adults have recently left home for college and are living with roommates. Others might be getting new jobs and living with strangers as roommates. Both groups need to know what it takes to be a good housemate. May I offer some suggestions? 1. Pick up after yourself. Don’t leave your personal belongings in the bathtub or around the sink unless space has been set aside just for you. 2. Clean the sink and the tub every time you use them. 3. Don’t leave your clothes in the washer or dryer for someone else to remove. Nobody owes you this service. 4. Pay your rent and utility bills on time or early. This will not only improve your credit, it will prevent costly late charges. 5. Help out with routine house-
hold chores. Do at least your fair share, and whenever possible, do more. It will be appreciated. 6. Criticize your roommate only when absolutely necessary, and be kind when you do so. Meanwhile, be generous with compliments. Words of praise are music to the ears and can solidify relationships. 7. Keep your bedroom, car and workspace clean and orderly. It will be noticed by others, and you will be admired and respected. Thanks, Ann. We would all get along so much better if we did these simple things. — A Reader in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Bush faces the dawn of a new presidency By DICK POLMAN Knight Ridder Newspapers
This morning George W. Bush begins the first full day of his new presidency, because Tuesday terrorists blasted his old one to rubble. Forget the tax cut, and the inspirational speeches on ‘‘values’’ he was planning to give this fall. Analysis Forget his abiding interest in improving children’s literacy. Forget the whole domestic agenda, because in the sobering months ahead this president, a novice at foreign policy, will be judged by the American people on how well he answers this question: Can he make us feel safe again? Few of Bush’s predecessors ever faced such a daunting challenge. Pearl Harbor shocked the nation, but Americans knew in an instant who the enemy was — and where to find him. The Cuban missile crisis brought us to the brink of war, but, in the end, John Kennedy was dealing with a world leader who did not view suicide as a higher calling. In the short run, Americans will rally to their president, as they always do in a crisis. Democrats will proclaim themselves to be patriots, not partisans. Bush’s poll ratings could soar; even Jimmy Carter scored high in the first weeks of the Iranian hostage crisis. But Bush has been pulled into the murkiest waters of foreign policy, a place where slogans like ‘‘compassionate conservatism’’ have no meaning. Americans will turn to him for reassurance; many will demand vengeance. The challenges that await him would test even the most seasoned national leader. Allan Lichtman, a presidential
The Associated Press
AIR FORCE ONE MEETING: President Bush talks with Chief of Staff Andrew Card aboard Air Force One during a flight to Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Neb., on Tueday. historian who fled the U.S. Capitol building when the Pentagon was hit, said Tuesday: ‘‘The terrorists attacked our safety, our economy, and our sense of mobility — a perfect strike against what it means to be an American. And this will require, from Bush, an incredible balancing act. ‘‘He has to be resolute, but not precipitous. Americans like to believe in quick-fix remedies, but he can’t simply give in to people who have blood in their eyes. He has to somehow respond to what is, in effect, warfare against the United States, but he can’t turn us into a garrison state that poisons what is good about our liberties.’’ This is also a president who, as
a candidate, assured journalists that if he didn’t know much about a foreign topic, he would simply ask his advisers. But Lichtman said, ‘‘He has to communicate effectively with the people, in the weeks ahead, and his advisers can’t do that for him. Only a president is supposed to have a mystical bond with the people. He has to get it from within himself.’’ Stephen Hess, an aide in the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations, said Tuesday: ‘‘Bush has to show a greater presence, the situation requires it, and until now, he didn’t seem prepared to do that. That was deliberate, actually, out of a conviction that Bill Clinton was in everybody’s face too often.
‘‘But now he needs to step up, because this is a nation that had always felt protected by oceans east and west, and friendly nations north and south. Now we realize how easy is for professionals to pierce that ‘armor.’ And what will he do about that, in the long run?’’ That question will dominate our politics after the rubble has been removed and the deaths have been tabulated. As California political analyst Bruce Cain said Tuesday, ‘‘That goes right to the top of the list, and dwarfs everything else. That’s where the scrutiny of Bush will really get intense. ‘‘From now on, everybody will become obsessed with terrorism,
and the politicians will respond to that. People will demand heightened security. They’ll demand more money for beefed-up intelligence services. All this money has to come from the federal budget. Will Bush dip into the Social Security surplus’’ — as he hinted last month, when he said that such a move would be justified by war or a recession? Analysts cite other complicating issues. Would a public demand for more anti-terrorist measures diminish political support for Bush’s outer-space missile shield proposal — an expensive project that would do nothing to combat the kinds of horrors inflicted upon the nation Tuesday? Is there enough money to do both? And while all this is happening, Bush will be expected to fashion some kind of acceptable response to attackers who are not easily deterred by American force. Assuming he finds the right attackers. Yet the response has to be strong enough to satisfy angry Americans — and particularly the conservatives within Bush’s Republican base. They have been complaining for months that Bush has been stingy with money for defense, that he has been too easy on Yasser Arafat, and that he coddled the Chinese after they knocked a U.S. surveillance plane out of the sky. But if Bush acts hastily under pressure, said Cain, ‘‘he could have real trouble, because he doesn’t want to engage in some kind of botched anti-terrorist operation, a la Jimmy Carter,’’ a reference to that president’s failed helicopter rescue of the hostages in 1980. The danger for Bush, said Lichtman, ‘‘is that a president who wants to focus on domestic issues could get dragged into a new kind of intractable war. A similar thing happened to Lyndon Johnson. He wanted to be a great domestic president — and he got Vietnam.’’
Poll: Americans see attacks as acts of war against U.S. GANNETT NEWS SERVICE
Americans who woke up Tuesday in peace went to bed at night convinced that their nation is at war. A USA TODAY-CNN-Gallup Poll taken Tuesday afternoon and evening showed: • Eighty-six percent of those surveyed described the terrorist attacks as acts of war against the United States. • Even more, 87 percent, described what happened as the ‘‘most tragic news event’’ in their lives. • Almost half, 48 percent, said
they’ll be less willing to fly in the future. Even so, 50 percent said the attacks would have no affect on their flying plans. • The number worried that they or someone in their families would become a victim of a terrorist attack, 58 percent, was the highest since just after the Oklahoma City bombing in April 1995. Then, 42 percent were so concerned. Fears and worries were common. ‘‘I don’t fear for my safety,’’ said Julie Appel of Atlanta. ‘‘But I fear for the safety of my children (3year-old Brenner, 1-year-old
Max). What will happen to their world because of this?’’ ‘‘I’m very scared,’’ said Kevin McCaskey, 47, of Lancaster, Pa., who was stuck at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport on the way from Baltimore to Nashville. ‘‘I wish I didn’t have to fly anymore, but I don’t think my job would allow that.’’ ‘‘This is war. This is no joke here,’’ said Rachel Osensky of Powder Springs, Ga. ‘‘People who are brainwashed can go a long way. You can’t ignore them.’’ President Bush received strong support Tuesday. Seventy-eight percent of those polled said they
were confident he could handle the situation. But, ‘‘this is really going to test his mettle,’’ said John Carrier of Seattle. Most people urged the president to wait before using the military to take any action. Only 21 percent said the United States should conduct immediate strikes. Seventy-one percent said to wait until those responsible can be identified. As for whether the United States will be able to find those behind the attacks, 52 percent said it’s ‘‘very likely’’ that will happen. Though they viewed the attacks as the most tragic news in
their lives, most Americans said they won’t make major changes in the way they live. Adam and Carolyn Kaplan were married Saturday in Niantic, Conn., and were trying to get to Aruba for their honeymoon. Instead, they were going to spend Tuesday night in Atlanta. ‘‘It’s hard to be concerned with ourselves when you’ve got all that stuff going on up north,’’ Adam Kaplan said. They said the attacks had not made them hesitant about flying. ‘‘You can’t go through your life living in fear,’’ Carolyn Kaplan said.
Witnesses saw first plane hit
‘‘Look at that!’’ He turned to see a plane slam into the other tower. ‘‘I just heard the building rock,’’ said Peter Dicerbo, a bank employee on the 47th floor. ‘‘It knocked me on the floor. It sounded like a big roar, then the building started swaying. That’s what really scared me.’’ The enormity of the disaster was just sinking in when 18 minutes later, the south tower also was hit by a plane. ‘‘All this stuff started falling and all this smoke was coming through. People were screaming, falling, and jumping out of the windows,’’ said Jennifer Brickhouse, 34, from Union, N.J. The chaos was just beginning. Workers stumbled down scores of flights, their clothing torn and their lungs filled with smoke and dust. John Axisa said he ran outside and watched people jump out of the first building; then there was a second explosion, and he felt the heat on the back of his neck. Donald Burns, 34, was being evacuated from the 82nd floor when he saw four people in the stairwell. ‘‘I tried to help them but they didn’t want anyone to touch them. The fire had melted their skin. Their clothes were tattered,’’ he said. Worse was to come. At 9:50, one tower collapsed, sending debris and dust cascading to the ground. At 10:30, the other tower crumbled. Glass doors shattered, police and firefighters ushered people into subway stations and buildings. The air was black, from the pavement to the sky. The dust and ash were inches deep along the streets. MAYOR RUDOLPH GIULIANI said it was believed the after effects of the plane crashes eventually brought the buildings down, not planted explosive devices. Hyman Brown, a University of Colorado civil engineering professor and the construction manager for the World Trade Center,
speculated that flames fueled by thousands of gallons of aviation fuel melted steel supports. ‘‘This building would have stood had a plane or a force caused by a plane smashed into it,’’ he said. ‘‘But steel melts, and 24,000 gallons of aviation fluid melted the steel. Nothing is designed or will be designed to withstand that fire.’’ At mid-afternoon, Giuliani said 1,500 ‘‘walking wounded’’ had been shipped to Liberty State Park in New Jersey by ferry and tugboat, and 750 others were taken to New York City hospitals, among them 150 in critical condition. Bridges and tunnels were closed to all but pedestrians. Subways were shut down for much of the day; commuter trains were not running. Meanwhile, at about 9:30 a.m., an airliner hit the Pentagon — the five-sided headquarters of the American military. ‘‘There was screaming and pandemonium,’’ said Terry Yonkers, an Air Force civilian employee at work inside the building. The military boosted security across the country to the highest levels, sending Navy ships to New York and Washington to assist with air defense and medical needs. A half-hour after the Pentagon attack, a United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 jetliner en route from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco, crashed about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. AIRLINE OFFICIALS said the other three planes that crashed were American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 from Boston to Los Angeles, apparently the first to hit the trade center; United Airlines Flight 175, also a Boeing 767 from Boston to Los Angeles, which an eyewitness said was the second to hit the skyscrapers; and American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 en route from Washington-Dulles to Los Angeles that a source said hit the Pentagon.

RUNNING FOR SAFETY: Pedestrians run from the World Trade Center in New York City as the south tower collapses.
In Afghanistan, where bin Laden has been given asylum, the nation’s hardline Taliban rulers rejected suggestions he was responsible. Bin Laden came to prominence fighting alongside the U.S.-backed Afghan mujahedeen — holy warriors — in their war against Soviet troops in the 1980s. But former followers say he turned against the United States during the 1991 Gulf War, seething at the deployment of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War campaign to oust Iraq from Kuwait. He has repeatedly called on Muslims worldwide to join in a jihad, or holy war, against the United States. Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the Al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper, said he received a warning from Islamic fundamentalists close to bin Laden, but had not taken the threat seriously. ‘‘They said it would be a huge and unprecedented attack, but they did not specify,’’ Atwan said in a telephone interview in London. Eight years ago, the World Trade Center was a terrorist target when a truck bomb killed six people and wounded about 1,000 others. Just the death toll on the planes alone surpassed the 168 people killed in the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. THIS IS HOW Tuesday’s mayhem unfolded: At about 8:45 a.m., a hijacked airliner crashed into the north tower of the trade center, the 25year-old, glass-and-steel complex that was once the world’s tallest. Clyde Ebanks, an insurance company vice president, was at a meeting on the 103rd floor of the south tower when his boss said,

SUSPECT: Osama bin Laden has emerged as the top suspect in Tuesday’s attacks.
Bin Laden emerges as prime suspect By JOHN WOLCOTT and WARREN P. STROBEL Knight Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Before the smoke cleared from the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, the fugitive Saudi Arabian terrorist leader Osama bin Laden emerged as the prime suspect in Tuesday’s carnage. ‘‘Bin Laden is the leading candidate,’’ said a senior intelligence official who requested anonymity. ‘‘There’s nothing hard, but he’s one of a very few people who would want to do this and who also has access to the tools and the kind of people you need to do this.’’ That bin Laden, who’s believed to have sponsored the bombing of the destroyer USS Cole and the bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, might try to stage such an ambitious attack isn’t surprising. What’s surprising is that the chain of hijackings and suicide bombings took America by surprise — especially if bin Laden was behind it. If it was bin Laden, Michael Swetnam, a former U.S. intelligence official, said President Bush must respond forcefully, if necessary invading Afghanistan where he’s hiding and seizing him. ‘‘If there’s ever an act of war, this is an act of war,’’ Swetnam said. ‘‘We’re past the point where we talk about (responding with a handful of) cruise missiles.’’ In the wake of Tuesday’s bombings, senior intelligence officials began sifting through the mountains of information that American spies and satellites have been collecting on bin Laden and his loose-knit organization, often called al Qaeda, or ‘‘the base’’ — surveillance photos, transcripts of telephone calls, reports from CIA agents. What they found is deeply troubling: Since May, there had been numerous warnings that bin Laden or another terrorist leader was preparing a major campaign against Americans, but all the intelligence suggested that any attacks would come overseas. U.S. military and diplomatic posts abroad were kept on heightened states of alert, and the State Department warned travelers of the danger in an advisory put out Friday, but America’s own airports and potential targets were still asleep. ‘‘There was a ton of stuff, but it all pointed to an attack abroad,’’ said one official. What that suggests, two senior administration officials told Knight Ridder, is the frightening possibility that bin Laden might have used America’s most precious intelligence assets — the multimilliondollar spy satellites that take pictures and eavesdrop on phone calls and data transmissions — to deceive the United States. The vast electronic ‘‘take’’ on bin Laden, said officials who requested anonymity, contained no hints of a pending terror campaign in the United States itself, no orders to subordinates, no electronic fund transfers, no reports from underlings on their surveillance of the airports in Boston, Newark and Washington. Instead, the officials said, bin Laden appears to have used the communications he knew the United States was monitoring to throw America’s spies off his trail and turned to human couriers to carry his real messages and money.

As the shock subsides, anger wells REACTION: For many citizens, the terrorist attacks were a devastating bolt from the blue.
“I feel like going to war again. No mercy. We have to come together like ’41, go after them.”
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Far from the smoke and rubble, Americans everywhere reeled from the blow of Tuesday’s terrorism. Then, as the shock subsided, anger flooded in. ‘‘We will respond,’’ vowed Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill. ‘‘America’s been attacked. Those who attacked us will pay a price.’’ ‘‘I feel like going to war again. No mercy,’’ said Felix Novelli, a World War II veteran at a Nashville reunion of the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier crew. ‘‘We have to come together like ’41, go after them.’’ For many citizens, from homemakers to lawmakers, the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington were a devastating bolt from the blue. People gathered around big-screen TVs in public places, transfixed by the unbelievable horrors they were watching. Some sobbed. Some shook their fists in anger. Others just stood there, paralyzed. ‘‘I’m numb,’’ said Corinne Zuege, 49, of West Lafayette, Ind. ‘‘This is such a tragedy. They

Ruth Ann Minner ordered schools and state agencies to close early, as the state’s National Guard units moved to high alert.
‘‘I’m still in shock over today’s events,’’ she said. ‘‘I have hung my head in sorrow and I have prayed in earnest over what will be a tremendous loss of life.’’ Even those who know how dangerous the world has become were surprised. At an anti-
terrorism conference being held in Salt Lake City, event moderator John Sullivan said he always knew this day would come. ‘‘I didn’t know it was going to be this soon,’’ he said. The memory of Pearl Harbor was invoked everywhere, but the ‘‘them’’ was not immediately verifiable — a disturbing fact for those trying to determine if they, too, were at risk. Planes were grounded nationwide, and heightened security went into effect at government and corporate offices, oil refineries, military bases and state capitals. Landmarks such as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the Space Needle in Seattle were closed. Even officials at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, N.J., tightened security, calling the
‘New York is crying’ Rescuers rush to aid victims at Trade Center By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Investment banker Mark DeAndrea crouched behind a pillar, watching a fireball engulf the World Trade Center, trying to figure out what to do. ‘‘One minute everyone was casually walking, next there was this huge surge,’’ said DeAndrea, who works in an office beside the Trade Center. ‘‘It seemed like 10,000 people were rushing toward us, running like a herd of gazelles, crying, ‘‘Get out, get out!’’ ‘‘It was so unreal,’’ he said. ‘‘People were jumping out of buildings. It was horrifying.’’ Frantically, DeAndrea tried to call his wife, but his cell phone wouldn’t work. So he joined the surge heading back toward the ferries to New Jersey. At Pier 11, he said, ‘‘Boats were just filling up, taking everyone. Some people were threatening to jump into the water if they couldn’t get on.’’ Finally, the overloaded boat pulled away. ‘‘It was so scary. Everyone on the boat was just staring at the buildings. And then, as we passed the tip of Manhattan, they were there no more.’’ The city looked and felt like a war zone Tuesday. Armed guards patrolled outside government buildings. Mass evacuations sent ash-covered pedestrians streaming across bridges. Ambulances screeched through Manhattan. A city skyline — and psyche — were

WITNESSES: People in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral react with horror Tuesday morning as they look down Fifth Avenue toward the World Trade Center. forever scarred. At a triage center in lower Manhattan, Police Officer Tyrone Dux paused before heading back to the horror. ‘‘New York is crying,’’ said Dux, himself in tears. He was taking a break from shuttling medical supplies from St. Vincent’s hospital to triage centers near the scene of the World Trade Center collapse. ‘‘It’s like nighttime there,’’ he said of the scene in lower Manhattan, which by early afternoon was a hive of rescue efforts. ‘‘I didn’t hear any screaming, just dead, dark silence. . . . Dark. Frightening.’’
After the initial shock, after the nightmarish scenes of people on fire jumping from buildings, came the rescue. A few blocks away from the World Trade Center, about 120 doctors and people with medical training traveled in a convoy of pickup trucks, ambulances, a dump truck and SUVs toward the wreckage. Their job: To find survivors and try to save them. Paramedics waiting to be sent into the rubble were told that ‘‘once the smoke clears, it’s going to be massive bodies,’’ according to Brian Stark, an ex-Navy paramedic who volunteered to help.
Ad-hoc medical crews formed to accept blood donations. Barbara Kalvig raced to a triage center with a car full of colleagues from the New York Veterinarians Hospital. ‘‘We closed the hospital and brought a bunch of doctors and nurses,’’ Kalvig said. ‘‘We just drove as far as we could.’’ Nearby, a construction crew hauled 2-by-4s and plywood to the emergency teams to be used as makeshift stretchers. Craig Senzon, 29, a neurologist volunteering at the triage center said of rescuers, ‘‘We felt a heaviness inside us that none of us have ever felt before.’’

She feared for her son stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas. For all she knew, maybe that base would be next on the terrorists’ list. ‘‘You think of the Oklahoma City bombing as the worst thing possible, and then this happens,’’ Cannon said. ‘‘I would just like to be with my husband right now. I would like to gather my family around me.’’ Even as many Americans spoke angrily of retaliation, religious leaders counseled prayer. ‘‘We have been reminded very powerfully of the existence of evil in our world and of the power that evil can seem to have,’’ said Bishop George J. Lucas, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Springfield, Ill. ‘‘We are praying from our hearts for those who have been killed and injured and for the heroic people who are involved in the rescue efforts. May God bless us with courage and strength.’’
Terrorist attacks on U.S. not new WASHINGTON — Previous terrorist attacks have occurred on the United States and its interests around the world, serious and deadly, but nothing like Tuesday’s. Here are some of the more significant terrorist incidents of the last two decades: Oct. 23, 1983 — Suicide truck bombers blow up U.S. Marine barracks and headquarters in Beirut, leaving 241 dead. Dec. 21, 1988 — Pan Am flight 103, with 189 Americans among the 259 people on board, crashes near the Scottish town of Lockerbie after an explosion in the Boeing 747 jetliner. A Libyan is convicted 13 years later. Feb. 23, 1993 — The notion that the United States is immune to terrorist assault is swept away with a rental truck detonation in the parking garage of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. The explosion and fire kills six and injures more than 1,000 but fails to topple the building. A Muslim cleric is charged with running a ring of 15 terrorists responsible. April 19, 1995 — The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City is blown up by a truck-borne fertilizer bomb, killing 168. Western New York native Timothy McVeigh, a combat hero in the Persian Gulf War, is convicted of domestic terrorism and executed six years later. June 26, 1996 — A U.S. military housing unit in Saudi Arabia called Khobar Towers is bombed, killing 19. Aug. 7, 1998 — American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania are bombed, and 224 people die, including 12 Americans. Over 4,500 are injured. Oct. 12, 2000 — The USS Cole, a U.S. Navy destroyer, is severely damaged in harbor in Yemen by suicide terrorists driving a small boat. The explosion and fire leave 17 sailors dead.

WASHINGTON — The worst nightmares of national security officials came true Tuesday, and the nation forever will be changed in terms of culture, society, politics, priorities and freedom of movement. ‘‘America lost its innocence today,’’ said Darryl Paulson, a University of South Florida political scientist, one of several to make that remark. ‘‘This is 21st century war, and in a wartime situation, personal liberties are going to take a back seat.’’ The terrorists targeted buildings where 50,000 people (World Trade Center) and 24,000 (Pentagon) worked. Four commercial airliners — wide-bodied planes loaded with enough fuel for cross-country flights — deliberately chosen by hijackers for their explosive
potential and heavy collision impact, caused enough destruction that astronauts orbiting on the international space station could see the plumes. Panicked people screamed through the streets of Manhattan. The national air travel system shut down completely for the first time in history. Tom Clancy, the novelist who once wrote a book in which terrorists crash a plane into the Capitol during a joint session of Congress, mused that ‘‘one of the problems of being an author is keeping up with reality.’’ Some futurists and cultural observers believe not much about American life ever will be the same. Some predictions: • Security measures will increase exponentially. Armed guards will travel on almost all commercial flights. All travelers will be searched and X-rayed. Delays will increase. (The terrorists reportedly were armed with only knives.) Passenger volume will decrease substantially. • Paranoia will increase. Fewer people will use public transit. Increased use of personal cars
will further clog burdened highways. Dogs will sniff you entering buildings you used to get into without trouble. • Privacy advocates will find tough going. More Americans might willingly submit to electronic surveillance and keystroke capturing devices. • Mammoth buildings and skyscrapers, monuments to designer ego and prominent as targets, will become passe. • Public events, athletic and artistic, routinely will be canceled without notice. • Inconvenience and strife will become daily occurrences. • Congress will vote huge increases in intelligence and defense budgets, at the expense of domestic programs. ‘‘You will see an airline system here much closer to what the Israelis have in place,’’ said Paulson. ‘‘Personal inspections of everyone and their baggage. Greater delays. ‘‘The initial impression is this was a failure of American intelligence. You’ll probably see a complete restructuring of the intelligence gathering mechanism — we
have become over-reliant on technology — to include more attempts at infiltrating these organizations.’’ Edwin Walker, former ambassador to Egypt and Israel, and now president of the Middle East Institute, also believes travel will change drastically. ‘‘Along with the increased security we can expect, we certainly will get an examination of our airports and why all the security procedures we’ve established over the last several years have failed massively,’’ he said. Various senators, rousted from the Capitol, had dire views of the future. ‘‘Terrorists are clearly going to have access in the future to missiles and biological and chemical capabilities,’’ said Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn. ‘‘We simply have to get more serious about addressing these kinds of things.’’ Some called for a diversion of funds from the controversial and expensive missile defense system the White House is pushing to anti-terrorism measures. Members of Congress, said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., are ‘‘more
concerned about something done on our shores against our people. We’re not sure if this is international terrorism or domestic terrorism, but it is terrorism.’’ Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Penn., said he and Rep. Jerry Lewis, RCalif., had planned to offer a proposal Tuesday during a meeting of the appropriations subcommittee on defense to shift funds from President Bush’s proposed national missile defense system into anti-terrorism efforts. Murtha said some members of Congress had known for a month and a half that there was a military installation in D.C. that had been targeted. Fort Belvoir, and Fort Meyer and the Pentagon to some degree, had started tightening security, he said, but there was no indication where the threat was coming from. Many similar ‘‘our-lives-willchange’’ views, of course, were expressed in 1993, when the World Trade Center initially was damaged by a parking garage bomb detonation, and in 1995, when Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building in Oklahoma City.

The world watches in horror Governments offer their condolences, condemnation
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Governments around the world offered condolences to an America that looked more vulnerable than ever after Tuesday’s terror attacks, but thousands of Palestinians celebrated in the West Bank and in Lebanese refugee camps. People on every continent watched in horror as astonishing images of terror in the United States filled their television screens. But in the West Bank town of Nablus, Palestinians cheered and distributed candy to passers-by and Iraqi television played a patriotic song that began ‘‘Down with America!’’ as it showed the World Trade Center towers collapsing. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat offered his sympathy to Americans and said he was horrified by the devastating attacks, which also hit the Pentagon. Leaders around the world — including most in the Middle East — offered messages of support. Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers condemned the attacks and rejected suggestions that suspected terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden, who has been given asylum in Afghanistan, could be behind them. ‘‘It is premature to level allegations against a person who is not in a position to carry out such attacks,’’ said Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban ambassador in Pakistan. ‘‘It was a well-organized plan and Osama has no such facilities.’’ President Gen. Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan, one of three countries that recognize the Taliban’s government, condemned the attacks and called for cooperation to combat the ‘‘modern-day evil’’ of terrorism. Key indexes sank on world stock markets and many European and Asian airlines canceled flights to the United States and recalled planes already in the air. Britain and Belgium banned commercial flights over their capitals, and Britain warned its citizens traveling in the United States to beware of possible further attacks. Israel closed its airspace to foreign flights and evacuated staff from diplomatic missions and Jewish institutions around the world. In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the streets shortly after the attacks began, chanting ‘‘God is Great’’ and handing out candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. There were no reports of celebrations elsewhere in the West Bank and Gaza. Sheik Ahmed Yassin, whose Islamic militant Hamas group has carried out a series of suicide bombings in Israel, said he was

We are not prepared to open international fronts, however much we criticize the unfair American position,’’ Yassin told reporters in Gaza City. In Ein el-Hilweh, Lebanon’s largest refugee camp, where about 75,000 Palestinians live, revelers fired weapons in the air, witnesses said. Similar celebratory gunfire was heard at the Rashidiyeh camp near the southern city of Tyre. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, whom the United States has accused of backing inter-
national terrorism, called the attacks ‘‘horrifying’’ and urged Muslim aid groups to offer help ‘‘regardless of political considerations or differences between America and the peoples of the world.’’ Syria’s government condemned the attacks and offered condolences to the United States and the American people, the official Syrian Arab News Agency reported. Syria has also been at odds with the United States, which has accused it of backing terrorism. Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, a moderate who is struggling for power against the country’s hard-line Islamic leaders, expressed ‘‘deep regret and sympathy with the victims’’ and
said ‘‘it is an international duty to try to undermine terrorism.’’ Many countries beefed up security at American embassies, and President Bush put all American military forces overseas on high alert. Ordinary citizens offered condolences at American embassies around the world — Norwegians left bouquets of flowers in a park near the U.S. Embassy, Russians placed flowers near the Moscow mission and in Budapest, there were dozens of candles. In Berlin, hundreds of people marched silently down Unter den Linden boulevard at nightfall to a service at the city’s main cathedral to mourn the victims. NATO called an emergency
meeting of its governing council and urged an intensified war against international terrorism. ‘‘Our message to those who perpetrated these unspeakable crimes is clear: You will not get away with it,’’ it said. In New York, the U.N. Security Council condemned the attacks and urged all nations to work to bring the perpetrators to justice. ‘‘It is impossible to fully comprehend the evil that would have conjured up such a cowardly and depraved assault,’’ Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said. Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the attacks and called them ‘‘a blatant challenge to humanity.’’ ‘‘This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today,’’ said British Prime Minister Tony Blair. ‘‘It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life.’’ Queen Elizabeth II said she was watching developments in ‘‘growing disbelief and total shock.’’ Pope John Paul II condemned the ‘‘unspeakable horror’’ and said he was praying for the victims’ souls and for their families. While Iraqi TV appeared to salute the attacks, Modhafar Bashir, a 35-year-old poet watching the news in a Baghdad coffee shop, said he condemned such violence. ‘‘The problem is that America has created so many enemies inside and abroad,’’ Bashir said. China said it was ‘‘horrified,’’ and Chinese President Jiang Zemin expressed ‘‘grave concern for the safety of Chinese in the U.S.’’ ‘‘This outrageous and vicious act of violence against the United States is unforgivable,’’ Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said. Arafat offered his condolences to the American people and government. ‘‘We are completely shocked. It’s unbelievable,’’ he said. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said ‘‘there can be no doubt that these attacks are deliberate acts of terrorism, carefully planned and coordinated. . . . I condemn them utterly.’’ Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak called the attacks ‘‘horrible and unimaginable.’’ In Germany, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder described them as ‘‘a declaration of war.’’ Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad Mahathir expressed sadness, but urged the U.S. government not to seek revenge. ‘‘Retaliation will lead to the deaths of many people and will be followed by more counter-strikes,’’ he was quoted as saying.
With no clear enemy, Slaughter of innocents as a political it’s not a Pearl Harbor tactic has roots as old as humanity HISTORIC: Most historians agreed Tuesday’s attack was a watershed event in American history. GANNETT NEWS SERVICE
The events that stunned America Tuesday drew immediate comparisons with the surprise attack by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941, with Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., calling it ‘‘this generation’s Pearl Harbor.’’ And yet historians grappled with the suggestion, some rejecting it out of hand and others seeing similarities in loss of life and infliction of national trauma. Nearly all, however, saw it as a watershed in American history. ‘‘The shock of first hearing about it, surely that is comparable [to Pearl Harbor],’’ said James McPherson, history professor at Princeton and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War history, Battle Cry of Freedom. ‘‘And who knows, the number of deaths may turn out to be comparable.’’ Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is one who disagrees with the comparison. The 1941 attack, he reminds, led America into a worldwide conflagration. This won’t happen here, he says. ‘‘We don’t know who the hell the enemy is,’’ Schlesinger said. Others, like Henry Graff, professor emeritus at Columbia University, say the resounding images of this event — its attack on great American symbols like the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York
— have earned it a special place in U.S. history. ‘‘I can say the shock to America is probably as great as it was in 1941, which I remember because I’m of the World War II generation,’’ Graff said. ‘‘This [Tuesday’s tragedy] is a watershed event. I’m sure we will recover. Nations and tribes and people everywhere recover from these events. But they don’t forget. And someone is going to pay a price, because this is deep in the consciousness of America.’’ Joan Hoff, a professor of contemporary U.S. policy and foreign politics at Montana State University, said it would be necessary to go far back in history to find a comparison with such an attack on American civilian targets. ‘‘At Pearl Harbor, they lost over 2,000, but they were largely American military personnel,’’ she said. For a comparison to Tuesday’s events, she adds, ‘‘you’d have to go back to the War of 1812 when they burned down the White House.’’ ‘‘John Kennedy’s assassination was my generation’s Pearl Harbor,’’ said presidential historian Richard Norton Smith, ‘‘and this is certainly on a level with that. Certainly in exposing our vulnerabilities, this is Oklahoma City squared,’’ referring to the 1995 bombing of a federal building which killed 168. And while many historians are optimistic about whether this generation will rise to the occasion, much like the vaunted ‘‘Greatest Generation’’ of World War II, they conceded the verdict was still out.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It is a notion as old as human history, a cold-eyed calculation made by zealots down the ages: that the taking of innocent lives, or the threat to do so, can serve as a brutally effective means of advancing a cause. Still, the modern age of mass terrorism — culminating with Tuesday’s devastating kamikazestyle attacks against some of the greatest icons of American prestige and power — dates back only a little more than three decades. ‘‘You look at the ancient Greeks, at Roman history, at biblical accounts — all the elements are there,’’ said Ariel Merari, a terrorism expert at Tel Aviv University. ‘‘These are acts that we as a species have always been capable of, and we as a species have carried out. But as an international political phenomenon, it’s relatively new.’’ The late 1960s ushered in a wave of commercial airline hijackings, the first of them carried out in 1968 by a radical Palestinian faction, with many others to follow in the name of what was then the relatively littleknown Palestinian cause. With success — in the form of world attention — a host of imitators sprang up. Left-wing and nationalist groups proliferated in Western Europe and Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s, many of them employing terror as a tactic. The arena widened to the world’s far-flung corners, and the target list expanded — airports, ships, embassies. Terrorism. The very idea is to
“These are acts that we as a species have always been capable of, and we as a species have carried out. But as an international political phenomenon, it’s relatively new.” Ariel Merari Tel Aviv University
strike paralyzing fear into the hearts of an enemy, or a perceived one. To invest an act of violence with far-reaching consequences that go beyond the moment’s spectacular display of blood and destruction. It requires a chilling degree of detachment from the fundamental values upon which civilization is built, ethicists say. ‘‘The world view that undergirds any terrorist activity is as far removed from any ethical philosophy as can be imagined,’’ said Tom Morris, a former Notre Dame University professor of philosophy. ‘‘It involves treating people as mere means to ends. It ascribes only instrumental value to people, and no intrinsic value.’’ The public revulsion inspired by terror attacks is part of the point — but in a way beside the
“BLACK”
point. Terrorism as we know it today is the product of a media age, a calling card of a global culture in which fame and infamy are closely coupled. ‘‘The whole idea — the only idea, in some sense — is to bring attention to the cause,’’ said Rohan Gunaratna of the Center for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence in Edinburgh, Scotland. Sometimes, the battle is a struggle over semantics. ‘‘Terrorist’’ is an epithet, and even the most enthusiastic practitioners of terror’s black arts bridle at it. When the U.S. State Department periodically updates its list of terror organizations and the countries that sponsor them, this judgment is often accompanies by howls of protest. But it is a two-sided coin: Repressive regimes use the terrorist tag to discredit those who struggle against them. So who is a terrorist, and who is a freedom fighter? Even decades after the fact, the answer is sometimes clear, sometimes not. Nelson Mandela is a universally beloved and respected statesman. But with the Mideast’s latest plunge into violence, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s claim to the title of leader and statesman is being bitterly challenged. The line between guerrilla warfare and terrorism has always been a difficult one to define. Confronted with a powerful foe, rebel movements and guerrilla armies use tactics that are in some ways akin to terrorism, relying heavily on stealth, surprise and audacity.

City, county governments remain open for business AFTERMATH: Local officials advised businesses to remain open to avoid panic. By T.J. WILHAM The Star Press
MUNCIE — City and Delaware County officials said Tuesday that they were urging the private and public sectors to move on and go about business as usual. Terrorist attacks Tuesday in New York City and Washington, D.C., prompted several business, schools and buildings throughout Indiana to close and started a massive rush by Hoosiers to their neighborhood gas stations. But Mayor Dan Canan said Tuesday, after an emergency meeting with city and county officials, that the city needed to treat today like any other day. “If I still had a business, I would be open [today],” Canan said. “Obviously, we need to be alert, but at the same time, we can’t go overboard and panic.” Security around downtown government buildings was increased after the attacks were reported. Some federal offices in Muncie were closed to the public. Bomb-sniffing dogs searched both the Delaware County Justice Center and County Building, and
armed deputies made rounds outside. “We are trying to be responsive, but we don’t want to cause undue panic and concern for the people that work in these buildings,” county police Capt. Brian Lipscomb said. “We are just trying to be cautious.” Emergency Management officials organized several meetings with representatives from all emergency services Tuesday to plan what course of action everyone should take. Officials were concerned mass panic might arise from the news “settling in” as people went home from work and watched news broadcasts. Extra dispatchers were called in to work in preparation for greater number of calls coming into the 911 center. Everything inside the communications center appeared to be normal Tuesday. There were no serious incidents reported in Delaware County. There was an unusually large number of ambulance calls, but none of them were related to people panicking over the day’s news. “I think it is early for the anxiety factor to set in,” said 911 Director Jerry Friend. “[The terrorists] want us to be paralyzed. We are not going to be. We are not going to let that happen.”
The Indiana State Police reported several motorists were driving erratically. State police Sgt. Rod Russell said he pulled over a motorist who was going 20 miles per hour over the speed limit. When he got out of his squad car, the woman put her head out of the window and asked, “Don’t you know what is going on?” Russell said most of the speeders were rushing to gasoline stations as rumors spread about gas prices tripling. “People need to slow down and remain calm,” Russell said. “We don’t need tragedies on top of tragedies.” Officials said they planned to conduct another emergency meeting today at 8 a.m. “By us meeting like this, we know what we are doing,” Canan said. “God forbid, if something like this were to happen, we will meet the challenge no matter what it is.” In New Castle, Police Chief Darrell Jackson said he had doubled the number of police officers on duty throughout the night to patrol the city. But it wasn’t as a precaution against terrorism. “Nowhere in Indiana that I know of has been threatened,” Jackson said. “It’s just crowd control. . . . The main problem

Mom’s Lateness to work saved Local students’ travel plans canceled prayers for daughter from tragedy daughter’s safety are answered THE STAR PRESS STAFF REPORT
By KEITH ROYSDON The Star Press
MUNCIE — A Muncie family whose daughter works in the World Trade Center reported Tuesday morning that it was likely her life was saved because she was late to work. Jill Fairchild, the daughter of Muncie residents Lance and Nancy Lillie, works on the 66th floor of one of the World Trade Center towers. Nancy Lillie, an employee of the Delaware County Clerk’s office, came to work Tuesday and had not heard about the attacks, County Clerk Karen Wenger said. Fairchild was apparently late for work and was en route when planes hit the buildings. When she arrived at the disaster scene, she found a telephone and contacted a family member. After an anxious half-hour, Nancy Lillie heard from a family member that her daughter was

ANDERSON — For Kathy Lind, Tuesday’s ghastly attack spurred the stark terror of a mother fearing for her child. Things ended happily, however. The former Muncie resident’s daughter, Allison Moody, works in the World Financial Center just across a plaza from where the World Trade Center towers stood. “It’s a little place to sit. . . . and there it is,” the shaken mother said of the buildings’ proximity. Moody, who went to St. Mary’s School in Muncie, has lived in New York since May and was married in August, her mother said. She is an engineer, performing appraisals for railroads, banks and other major interests. Lind learned of the tragedy when friends came to her home and told her about it. She had been trying to reach her daughter by telephone, but to no avail. “You can’t get through,” she said. “All the lines are busy, or whatever they say.” She called The Star Press hoping for information on damage to buildings near the toppled Trade Center towers. An Associated Press story offered at least some hope: “Much of the downtown district, including the nearby Financial Center, was evacuated,” the wire story reported. By mid-afternoon, however, Lind had received the word for which she had truly been praying. Her daughter contacted a relative. She had witnessed the crash of one plane into the Trade Center and been evacuated. She was safe.
safe. “My sister is fine,” Muncie resident Brian Fairchild said. Wenger said her employee was “pretty distraught” and believed that some of her daughter’s friends and co-workers were killed in the attack. “Now, they’re trying to get her out of New York City,” Wenger said. “They’re very thankful. This was too close for comfort.”

Ransford did not know how the plane hijackings and crashes might affect the programs beyond the canceled departures.

▼ BLACKFORD Ku Klux Klan plans rally Oct. 13 in Hartford City HARTFORD CITY — The Ku Klux Klan has applied to the Hartford City Board of Works for permits necessary to hold a rally on the steps of the Blackford County Courthouse on Oct. 13. “We’ve been downplaying it,” Mayor Joe Castelo said Monday. “I think they are just fishing for publicity. We’re not looking for it to be a serious situation. “They are detestable and abhorrent as a group, and no one in Hartford City shares values with the Klan,” Castelo said. “However, under the Constitution, they are guaranteed certain freedoms, and we’ll treat them the same as any other group.” In a letter to city officials, the Klan asked for security for crowd control and access to Main Street, between Washington and High streets, for spectators. The Klan also asked for electricity for a sound system. The event would occur during the Blackford County Civil War Reenactment Club’s annual Civil War Days. Joe Reeves, vice president of the reenactment club, said he was not aware of the Klan’s plans. “That’s news to me,” he said. “We certainly don’t support anything like that. . . . The negative publicity can only hurt the [Civil War] event. “
Local residents line up to help BALL MEMORIAL: By afternoon, donors were waiting for up to 21⁄2 hours to have blood drawn at the BMH Blood Bank. THE STAR PRESS STAFF REPORT
MUNCIE — After learning of Tuesday’s terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., East Central Indiana residents offered their assistance — and their blood. The Ball Memorial Hospital Blood Bank on Tuesday was overwhelmed with unsolicited offers by blood donors. By Tuesday afternoon, determined donors were waiting for up to 21⁄2 hours to have blood drawn. Though the blood bank has not been asked by the Red Cross to provide extra blood, “But people are turning out in full force,”
said Sharon Rhodes, donor services coordinator for the blood bank. The facility was also inundated with calls from people offering to organize blood drives. Because of the “overwhelming” response, even without any national call for blood donors yet, the blood bank planned to set up additional staff in a special drawing area today, 7 a.m.7 p.m., in the Outpatient Medical Pavilion. People who wish to donate blood should go there rather than the blood bank. “People need to continue to give blood on a regular basis,” said Stephanie White, director of communications for the Hoosier Heartland Chapter of the American Red Cross in Muncie. White said her office was receiving calls from people trying to check on the well-being of friends and relatives who live or work near the scenes of
Tuesday’s terrorist incidents. “We’re encouraging people to try to contact [the persons they’re concerned about] directly for 24 hours,” White said, because it might be as long as 48 hours before a system is in place to enable people to check on the conditions of loved ones. After 48 hours, persons seeking information on loved ones can contact the American Red Cross at (765) 284-3361 or (800) 480-4403. In addition, many callers to the local Red Cross office have volunteered to travel to New York City and Washington to assist with rescue efforts. It’s possible some local Red Cross volunteers will be dispatched to those cities, White said. However, those groups will be limited to people who already have Red Cross training, she said.

Vigils scheduled; churches to be open today By JEANNINE LEE LAKE The Star Press
MUNCIE — Religious leaders across East Central Indiana are asking local residents to make prayer a top priority amid the confusion, anger and fear relating to Tuesday’s devastating acts of terrorism against the United States. Pastors, priests, rabbis and other religious leaders spent Tuesday organizing spontaneous prayer vigils as their congregations gathered to make sense of the overwhelming loss of human life in New York City and Washington, D.C. Clergy throughout the area said church staff and volunteers started taking calls from concerned residents immediately after media reports started broadcasting stories about the plane crashes and bombings at
the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and near Pittsburgh. Phil Granger, pastor of College Avenue United Methodist Church, opened the church for prayer immediately after the news became public just before 9 a.m. Tuesday. Parishioners gathered in prayer throughout the day to remember the victims, their families and the nation as a whole, he said. People of faith also are in prayer for President George W. Bush and other world leaders who will guide the country through what is the single worst act of terrorism on United States soil. “Right now, I think people are looking for a place where they can go and pray, or to have some quiet moments to find peace,” Granger said. “This all seems intensely personal right now to us all, and we’re praying for those who have been killed or hurt. We’re also praying for the leaders of our country and for peace as this nation goes into what is perhaps a new dimension. “I think we should be looking at how we have become more and more concerned about ourselves, and why we are in a

place of isolation,” he said. “I hope this makes our country do an inward check of how we relate to others.” Carlton Bowden, pastor of Assembly of God ChurchNorthside, said he hoped the nation prays for understanding of Tuesday’s crisis and that the families of those who are killed, injured or missing are “somehow sustained and lifted up in prayer.” Bowden described Tuesday’s acts of terrorism as “shocking, but not unbelievable.” Scriptures in the Bible, he said, say evil acts will be part of what he believes are the last days of the world. “I am stunned, but I don’t think that this is unbelievable or unexpected in the world that
we are living in today,” Bowden said. “I think there have been lessons all around us that things are getting progressively worse and that we live in a world that has wicked and evil people. I think God is definitely speaking to our nation, and I hope we are able to take this to heart.” “We’re in the process of meeting with pastors about the service and looking at ways to bring our prayer efforts together,” High Street Pastor Jack Hartman said Tuesday. “We’re certainly concerned for all those families that have been affected, and I’m sure that in the next few hours and days, we’re going to find that many of the connections come back to Muncie.”
MUNCIE — For U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, Tuesday’s terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon will be history that remains larger than life. “I hope the sun does not go down in the Middle East tomorrow morning without the United States having MIKE PENCE: s t r u c k s o m e The East target in retali- Central ation for this,” Indiana congressman Pence said.

Pence was planning to attend a House Agriculture Committee meeting when news of the World Trade Center attack came. “We initially thought it was an accident and then learned it was a terrorist attack,” Pence said. “Then a plane struck the Pentagon.” See OFFICIALS on Page 5B
Some schools delay ISTEP+ testing, others continue GQE: The Department of Education said schools could delay administering the state graduation exam until Friday. By MELIA A. ROSS The Star Press
In the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., on Tuesday morning, local school officials spent most of the afternoon deciding whether to continue to
administer ISTEP+ and the Graduation Qualifying Exam today. The Indiana Department of Education announced shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday that schools could administer the GQE on Friday if they preferred to delay it until then. Students at Muncie Community Schools will not be taking the ISTEP+ test today. “We will suspend all testing,” Supt. Marlin Creasy said. In addition, Muncie schools canceled all afternoon and
evening activities Tuesday. “This is a national tragedy, I think that they [the students] need to be at home with their families,” Creasy said. But for other schools, today was planned to be classroom business as usual. At New Castle Community Schools, ISTEP+ testing will continue today. “As of 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday, we are planning a normal school day,” Supt. John Newby said. Newby said the impact of the Tuesday’s events on the
students will be monitored. Daleville Community Schools will continue the GQE testing that began Tuesday, according to Supt. Paul Garrison. He noted that on Daleville Junior-Senior High School’s block schedule, Friday would not be a good test day for the students. At Daleville Elementary School, ISTEP+ testing was not scheduled to begin until Monday and will remain on schedule. Originally, the ISTEP+ testing window established by the Indiana Department of Education
was Sept. 10-28, with the GQE portion to be completed Sept. 11-13. No testing is allowed Sept. 18-19 because of the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah and Sept. 27 because of Yom Kippur. School officials are to use their best judgment in determining whether or not to administer the test to students who seem upset. Under the circumstances, the spring retest of the GQE will be available to sophomores who normally only take the test in the fall, according to a news release.

Administrator: Summer school ‘productive’ By MELIA A. ROSS The Star Press
MUNCIE — Summer school at Muncie Community Schools was “productive and rewarding,” according to Stephen Edwards, assistant superintendent. On Tuesday, Edwards gave a report to the school board and said he was very pleased with the high school program, which saw 82 percent of the students complete classes. Edwards also noted enrollment decreased in the week-long enrichment writing and math camps for middle school students. He explained that not all students who were recommended by their teachers — a requirement to enroll in the camp — had elected to participate. Both camps were offered during the same week. Board member Jennifer Abrell suggested the camps should be different weeks so that students recommended for both could attend. Board Vice President Robert Kellems said he was pleased with the report. “It is a very positive report compared to 2, 3 or 4 years ago,” he said. Also Tuesday, the school board adopted the 2002 school budget. The total budget is $68.6 million, with a general fund of $55.8 million.

Council makes decisions to improve Muncie’s economy MUNCIE: The council settled a remonstrance allowing annexation of an area northwest of the city. By RICK YENCER The Star Press
MUNCIE — Muncie City Council wasted no time this week approving a deal to make Muncie’s boundaries grow. By a unanimous vote, council approved a measure settling a remonstrance of a 1998 annexation of a fast-growing area along McGalliard and Morrison roads. “I think this is a good agreement,” said Mayor Dan Canan, who negotiated the settlement with Twoson Tools owner Steve F. Murray. Council member Jack Isenbarger agreed. “This is a very good agreement,” Isenbarger said. Council suspended its rules to adopt property tax abatement for Twoson and the 279-acre site generally northeast of McGalliard and Morrison in return for dropping the remonstrance. Property owners would pay 33 percent of city property taxes due next year, and 66 percent of
taxes due in 2003. Full taxes would be due in 2004 and in years thereafter. The annexation actually has been in court since 1995, and the city is still fighting remonstrances against annexing the southside Industria Centre and a portion of Mount Pleasant Township. Council member Bruce Wiemer asked how costly the legal battle had been to taxpayers. City Attorney Charles Clark did not give an estimate, but other officials said thousands of dollars had been spent in court hearings and depositions and on other legal costs. Council approved another deal proposed by Canan that will save nearly $200,000 yearly on bond payments for the Horizon Convention Center. By refinancing the bond , yearly $1.1-million payments will be reduced to $850,000 through 2017 and the term will be extended 4 more years. Council member Mary Jo Barton asked how the city would save money by extending the bond’s terms. Financial consultants explained the lower interest rate
and lower yearly payments would result in several million dollars in savings. Canan also said the city’s share of the bond payment would be reduced from a maximum $575,000 yearly to $300,000. The savings will be committed to downtown redevelopment, the mayor said. Plans call for a downtown roundabout and park at Walnut and Seymour streets. Renovation of downtown buildings also are under way. A public hearing on the bond refinancing will be held Oct. 1. Council also voted, 8-1, to introduce a measure renewing for 5 years a popular residential tax abatement program. Wiemer voted against the measure. Since 1998, owners of 70 new homes, including those in four new subdivisions, have received the tax benefit. The program provides abatement over a 3-year term with 100-percent abatement the first year. The abatement drops to 66 percent the second year and 33 percent the third. Council member David Taylor said the program helped build the city’s tax base, just as annexation did.
East Coast attacks halt flights at county airport By JENNY KOPACESKI
Meetings rescheduled
The Star Press
HARTFORD CITY — Because of Tuesday’s terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, the Blackford County Council meetings that had been set for Tuesday and today have been rescheduled for Sept. 18 and 19. The meetings will begin at 7 p.m. on the third floor of the county courthouse.
MUNCIE — Delaware County Airport employees Tuesday listened to the radio, checked flight patterns on computer programs and prepared themselves for an uncertain future. Airport properties manager Richard Manes said four planes departed from the runway Tues-
day for business meetings and all reached their destinations. All four planes were waiting for clearance to return to Muncie. Two local private pilots who were in flight Tuesday morning were directed to land at the airport after news of the bombings of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The airport was closed for departures until 5 p.m. Tuesday.
At that point, the Federal Aviation Administration public affairs officer was to give further flight instructions and ideas for additional security measures. The officer would not comment Tuesday morning. A couple of planes were scheduled to take off from the Delaware County Airport on Tuesday and head for Oklahoma, but the airplanes were not allowed to leave.

Officials react to tragedy Continued from Page 4B
After saying a prayer with staff, Pence and others left the Longworth Building and talked to Michigan Congressman David Bonior when he joined a House and Senate leadership group going to a Capitol Police command center. “I did not see any Democrats or Republicans there — only Americans,” Pence said. Pence tried to reach his wife, Karen, and their children. But cellular telephone and e-mail communication were down. Karen Pence teaches at a private Christian school, which their children attend, in northern Virginia. “It was amazing how God gave me peace,” Karen Pence said. “I stayed busy calming the children.” She said it was “unreal” seeing smoke over the Pentagon as she drove home after schools closed. Her husband later returned home, where the couple consoled their children. “We sat the kids down and told them to take this in stride,” Pence said. “We don’t want them to be frightened.” Pence returned to the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon to stand with nearly 200 House and Senate members, pledging to return

to work today. Their first act will be to condemn the attacks. Pence also planned to attend a classified security briefing late Tuesday to learn more about the attacks. The only report early Tuesday, Pence said, was that the State Department received a fax saying, “Atten bin Laden will destroy your capital.” That referred to Osama bin Laden, Saudi millionaire and leader of a powerful terrorist network that was accused of United States embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Pence said he believed President Bush would retaliate with a “swift and violent” response to the attacks. Besides assisting the families of victims, Bayh said, the federal government would find out who was responsible and respond with strong retaliation. “This should remind us that we are all vulnerable to terrorist attacks,” Bayh said. Former U.S. Rep. David McIntosh called Tuesday’s terrorist attacks “unbelievable.” “We live in a world where we think this will never happen,” said McIntosh, also a former U.S. Justice Department official. When he worked at the justice department, McIntosh was responsible for helping in surveillance of terrorists. The government either has slipped in its tracking of terrorists or terrorists have done a better job concealing their actions, McIntosh said.

Hog farmer defies checkoff fee MONEY: A LaGrange man and his wife are battling the USDA over a fee that promotes the pork industry. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LaGRANGE, Ind. — A local hog farmer has become the first in the country to fight the nation’s pork checkoff fee by sidestepping slaughterhouses and selling directly to Chicago restaurants. Greg Gunthorp and his wife, Lei, quit paying the checkoff in January, after depressed pork prices caused their 65-acre farm in northern Indiana to lose money the past 2 years. Instead, they joined forces with two ostrich growers to buy a locker plant in nearby Michigan that could tailor cuts of meat for trendy chefs. The move has been profitable enough for their 50-sow operation that Lei Gunthorp was able to quit her nursing job. It also made the couple the first hog farmers in the nation to

Ann Veneman overturned the results after several producer groups filed lawsuits claiming the Agriculture Department had no legal authority to hold the election in the first place. On Aug. 31, the U.S. Department of Agriculture warned the Gunthorps they were violating the law and are obligated to pay the checkoff while their case works its way through the USDA. The Pork Board notified them that charges on their balance were growing by 18 percent each year. But the couple plans to fight the checkoff past the USDA and in federal court if necessary. They have their sympathizers, including 83-year-old producer Charles Yeager of Camden. Yeager complained that prices hadn’t changed much for his 1,700 sows during the 13 years the checkoff has been in place. ‘‘I’d quit paying if it was legal,’’ Yeager said. ‘‘There are a lot of people who would quit.’’ Checkoff backers contend the dollars generate demand for pork, regardless of how it’s raised or marketed.
take action against the fee, according to the National Pork Board, the non-profit group that administers the $50-million program. The defiant couple told The Indianapolis Star they hoped to topple a program that had been a source of controversy for months. ‘‘We are not going to pay to promote our competition,’’ Lei Gunthorp said. The checkoff is a fee paid by the nation’s hog farmers — 45 cents for every $100 of a pig’s value when it is sold — to the National Pork Board to support research and promote the pork industry. Funds from the fee paid for the highly successful ‘‘Pork, the Other White Meat’’ ad campaign. Hog farmers, upset with how promotional dollars were spent and complaining that only large corporate producers saw any benefit, voted in January to end the checkoff. A majority of producers in Indiana, which has 4,400 of the country’s 85,760 hog operations, agreed. But U.S. Agriculture Secretary
Official says Gary not doing enough to crackdown on adult businesses By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GARY, Ind. — The city needs to step up its enforcement of tougher new ordinances on sexually oriented businesses enacted 9 months ago, a city councilwoman says. Marilyn Krusas said poor communication was to blame. ‘‘We need communication and coordination, otherwise, we’re just going to keep beating this
dead horse once a month,” she said. In the past 2 months, one business started blatantly ignoring city codes, another opened without a hassle, and a third is under renovation. In each case, Krusas said, though one city department might have been aware of developments, that information was never communicated to any other department.

America must summon resources and resolve Public letter box Where’s my raise? CHARLES H. FYFFE Yorktown
I am not against Muncie or Delaware County employees receiving a raise, especially the blue-collar workers, provided that the money is available. However, when county council member Tracy Barton was quoted as saying, “County workers should get a raise if they are expected to pay more taxes” (Sept. 6 Star Press ) I began to wonder if Barton represented anyone in his district or in Delaware County who was on a fixed income and will get particularly hard hit by rising taxes. I wonder if he has any plans to give those thousands of people raises so they, too, can have an easier time paying their taxes.
Price supports JOHN EVANS Charleston, S.C.
To the readers who believe the higher gas prices recently are a conspiracy by “Big Oil,” please read on. Recently there was a fire at a Midwest oil refinery. Because of the EPA-mandated reformulated gasoline blend that you in the Midwest must buy, a simple solution to the supply problem will not be a transfer of fuel made in other parts of the country. Rather, you must wait until the damaged refinery is repaired, or there is a drop in demand from consumers, before you may see the prices come down. As of today in South Carolina, our average for a gallon of unleaded is $1.31. Why is it that an oil company is called greedy because they want to sell their goods at the highest profit they can, but we practically beg the government to subsidize farmers so they can make more money? No one blames the farmer when the price of certain foods increases. No one calls for congressional investigations of farmers. No one seems to care that the government pays farmers not to
plant in certain areas to keep prices high. Apparently, there are too many farmers in America if prices are stagnant and the government pays them not to plant. But we don’t complain because the idea of a family farmer going out of business is unacceptable to Americans. Imagine if recently “downsized” Americans demanded the same subsidies as farmers. I’m sure a lot of people will be upset with my letter and suggest that I should think about a farmer the next time I eat, but they are missing the point. We as Americans always cry about the conspiracy but fail to see the reality in our lives.
BSU too lenient MIKE STEVENS 8113 Dovin Gate Road
I am writing in response to the article concerning the Ball State football player and his actions near a campus-area bar. I feel it is wrong that the BSU athletic department is tolerating “thuglike” conduct and allowing him to continue to play football and represent the university. I only hope the judge in this case is not as blind as the coaching staff and athletic department appear to be.

WASHINGTON — The acrid and unexpungable odor of terrorism, which has hung over Israel for many years, is now a fact of American life. Tuesday morning Americans were drawn into the world that Israelis live in daily. Just at the moment when American political debate had reached a nadir of frivolousness, with wrangling about nonexistent ‘‘lock boxes’’ and the like, the nation’s decade-long holiday from history came to a shattering end. After about half a century of war and Cold War, Americans came to feel, understandably, that the world was too much with them, and they turned away from it. What happened Tuesday morning, and can happen again, underscored the abnormality of the decade. Terrorism is usually a compound of the tangible and the intangible — of physical violence and political symbolism. The

ON THE WEB It is not simply a case of firing Click the Opinion button on missiles at desert outposts; it The Star Press home page, must be far more creative and www.thestarpress.com. sophisticated than that. Make no mistake. The American people, although most of them are not used to living in a country under siege, expect our enemy to be found, confronted and made to pay for this willful and wanton attack on our soil and our people. AS A NATION WE HAVE been violated. The world and its collection of groups who hate us or disrespect us must be shown that we will respond in an appropriate manner to aggression. Failure to accomplish this will weaken our resolve and magnify our vulnerability. The initial task, finding our enemy, will be made more difficult unless Americans, many of whom will demand swift and stern retaliation, are willing to back off and allow a calculated but firm response to take place. This is no time for hysteria or lynch-mob mentality, within or outside our borders. Our intelligence and security leaders will face a complex task in determining responsibility for the terrorism. There might be no shortage of groups or individuals stepping forward to claim their part in what happened. Indeed, was it coincidental that on the day of the attacks, the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper said, “The suicide bombers of today are the noble successors of their noble predecessors . . . the Lebanese suicide bombers, who taught the U.S. Marines a tough lesson in [Lebanon] . . . and then, with no preconditions, they threw the last of the remaining enemy [Israeli] soldiers out of the [security] zone. These suicide bombers are the salt of the earth, the engines of history. . . . They are the most honorable people among us.’’ While this is no legal proof of Palestinian culpability, it is penetrating insight into the bizarre, murderous mindset among some of those who oppose us. THE SECOND OF THE QUESTIONS that will test the nation’s mettle — improving our intelligence and security capabilities — will require perseverance and significant expenditures. A long and contentious debate is likely over how to combat the kind of terrorism that relies on surprise and kamikaze-style assaults. The debate must come at a time when the nation’s political confidence is as vulnerable as its buildings were to sneak attack via airliners. A divisive election last November caused some to question the legitimacy of our national leadership. That attitude is counterproductive and must be stifled if the nation is to move resolutely toward new strategies in dealing with terrorism. Our new enemy has taken (temporary) advantage of a free society in which people are allowed to travel throughout America virtually at will and rarely must explain their purpose. This openness could be threatened, especially as it applies to airports and other points of access that make us vulnerable to terrorist attack. While guaranteeing internal security is the first responsibility of government, we must not allow this terrorism to stampede us into repressive actions at home that will make the toll from this atrocity even greater. As we close ranks in confronting a new and unpredictable enemy, we must heed the lessons of history. When last the victim of an unprovoked attack (Pearl Harbor), America reacted in splendid and courageous ways. We united behind a single purpose on the homefront and unleashed, at far-flung points overseas, a new kind of fighting machine that became known as the greatest generation. That spirit, motivation and accomplishment must be harnessed and deployed again.
“BLACK”
the anger of the enemies of civilization. Those enemies are always out there. At times like this, confused thought breeds confused action. The American mind must not be cluttered with two familiar cliches. One is that terrorists are ‘‘desperate’’ people. Tuesday’s terrorists probably were akin to soldiers, disciplined and motivated but not desperate. The second cliche is that terrorism is ‘‘senseless.’’ Terrorism would not be such a plague if either cliche were true. Far from being senseless, much terrorism is sensible in that it is ‘‘cost-efficient.’’ Even sporadic terrorism can necessitate the constant costly deployment of defense against it. Furthermore, the effectiveness of terrorism is enhanced by instant and mass communication, especially graphic journalism. One purpose is to deprive a
government of respect and legitimacy by demonstrating that it is unable to guarantee public safety, the prerequisite of all justice. The United States, no fragile thing, is invulnerable to that purpose. Terrorism acquires its power from the special horror of its randomness, and from the magnification of it by modern media, which make the perpetrators seem the one thing they are not — powerful. Terrorism is the tactic of the weak. To keep all this in perspective, Americans should focus on the fact that such acts as Tuesday’s do not threaten America’s social well-being or even its physical strength. However, weapons of mass destruction are proliferating. Some of them, such as nuclear weapons, can be delivered to their targets in shipping containers or suitcases or the ubiquitous automobile. Imagine a car driving down 5th Avenue
spewing anthrax. The complexities of urban industrial societies make them inherently vulnerable to welltargeted attacks. The new dependence on information technologies multiplies the vulnerabilities. There can be no immunity from these vulnerabilities, but that is not a reason for fatalism. A proactive policy begins with anticipation. Therefore the first U.S. policy response must be to re-evaluate and strengthen the national intelligence assets, particularly the CIA and FBI. Americans are slow to anger but mighty when angry and their proper anger now should be alloyed with pride. They are targets because of their virtues-principally democracy, and loyalty to those nations which, like Israel, are embattled salients of our virtues in a still-dangerous world. George Will is a syndicated columnist.
ometime within the next 24 hours, no doubt, some television talking head somewhere will say, ‘‘This doesn’t happen here.’’ Yes, it does. It has. It’s happened before, in fact. It just wasn’t this close to home. We remember Pearl Harbor. We’ll remember this, too. The question is, What will we do about it? Two nights ago, the nation delved back into its history with a celebrated media event, the premiere of the television version of Stephen Ambrose’s Band of Brothers. We marvel at how a previous generation responded to an unprecedented crisis — a sudden attack by a ruthless, remorseless enemy. We think of those people as the ‘‘greatest generation,’’ and they deserve that appellation because of the way they came together to settle their own crisis and secure our future. And we all wonder: Are we like them? Do we have it in us? We’re about to find out. We’re about to find out whether we can snap out of shock, pull ourselves off the ground, set our petty differences aside, and come together as a nation to deal with our enemies. For now, there is no question that we have enemies. And these enemies are in many ways different from Imperial Japan. In some ways, they are worse. Pearl Harbor was an attack upon a distant outpost of American military power. The attack, as sudden and dishonest and vicious as it was, was at least an attack that made strategic sense in traditional military logic. And while there were civilian casualties, the obvious primary target was our fighting men and their machines of war. This time, there is no pretense of such rudimentary ‘‘decency,’’ if you want to stretch so far as to call it that. This time, civilians were the target every bit as much — if not more so — as our men and women in uniform.
T
his was a strike — and a temporarily successful one — at the chief power centers that have given this nation the strength to stand astride the world as its only superpower. We are the world’s largest economy, so they struck, with devastating effect, at the very symbolic heart of that strength. We are the undisputed military champion of the world, guarantor of security not only for this nation but for the rest of the globe. And this time they struck not just battleships and sailors, but the nerve center of our military colossus. The greatest gift this nation has given the world is our form of democracy. And they have shut down and evacuated our Capitol and the White House. The home of the most powerful man in the world stands empty, surrounded by nervous men with automatic weapons and itchy trigger fingers. The nation that gave the world flight is frozen, earthbound, at a standstill. We are stunned. This attack has been devastatingly successful. We don’t know who did it, and we don’t know how much there is to come. Our response will have to be different from the response after Pearl Harbor. This appears to be a different kind of enemy — the worst kind of coward. An enemy who strikes, and ducks and runs and hides. How to prevail against such an enemy and restore peace and prosperity to the land is not immediately apparent. But we will find a way. This is the same nation that was laid low 60 years ago, by an enemy who thought we lacked the will or the know-how to stop them. They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now. We might not be the greatest generation, but we are their grandchildren. We are Americans. We are shocked, and we will mourn. But then we’ll dust ourselves off, and find a way to prevail.

Awards ceremonies cancelled, postponed LOS ANGELES — The Emmys and Latin Grammys canceled their awards ceremonies, amusement parks closed, and Hollywood studios locked their gates as Tuesday’s terrorist attacks darkened a stunned entertainment industry. All Broadway shows were canceled in New York and box offices at the theaters were closed indefinitely, said Jed Bernstein, president of the League of American Theaters and Producers. Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland and Universal Studios in Southern California were shut down, while most resort hotels — many sheltering those stranded by the nationwide airline shutdown — remained open. Meanwhile, the second annual Latin Grammys, scheduled to be broadcast live Tuesday night from Los Angeles, were canceled ‘‘due to unimaginable events,’’ according to a written statement. Workers outside the arena hurried to dismantle the elaborate stages shortly after the attacks, and Recording Academy officials said
the show would not be rescheduled. ‘‘It’s over,’’ said Barb Deeghan, a spokeswoman for the show. ‘‘That’s it. It’s canceled.’’ The 53rd annual Primetime Emmys, which had been scheduled for Sunday night in Los Angeles, were postponed, but organizers expected to reschedule the show.

The Source Magazine, arrested after his Ferrari was stopped for speeding after a hip-hop awards show in Miami, pleaded not guilty to nine charges including battery on a police officer. An attorney for Raymond Scott, 36, entered the plea at a brief court hearing Tuesday before Circuit Judge Peter Lopez. Scott’s arraignment was set for Oct. 1 before Circuit Judge Gill Freeman. Lopez disqualified himself from the case to avoid any appearance of impropriety because he had been protected by Miami Beach Police after a prisoner’s bomb threat. Scott, of New York City, and his passenger were arrested early Aug. 21 after Scott’s car was stopped and he scuffled with a motorcycle officer. It was the day after the Source Hip-Hop Music Awards on South Beach, sponsored by his magazine.

The red 356 Cabriolet is splashed with psychedelic butterflies and flowers, a God’s eye symbol on the hood and a sun face with Joplin’s Capricorn birth sign. ‘‘The Porsche is an eye-popping, trafficstopping, original hippie-mobile,’’ said museum director Dick Messer. ‘‘It embodies all that she was and all that she wanted to be.’’ After Joplin’s 1970 death, the Porsche was kept and driven until 1977 by her manager, Albert Grossman. It was then obtained by the singer’s sister and brother, Laura and Michael Joplin, who decided in 1993 to restore it to its original far-out glory.

Sheriff’s Pentagon trip comes to halt TRAVEL: The official was on a train and had planned to tour the facility with a relative who worked there. By T.J. WILHAM The Star Press
MUNCIE — Delaware County Sheriff Steve Aul was on a Metro train bound for the Pentagon on Tuesday when his trip came to an abrupt end. A train operator told Aul and other passengers that a “situation” had developed — the apparently intentional crash of a plane into the Pentagon — and ordered
everyone off the train, which had been about a minute away from the Pentagon. “When I realized there had been a bombing, I was just shocked,” Aul said in a telephone interview Tuesday morning from a hotel 25 miles from the nation’s capital. “My first instinct was to get out of Washington because something else is going to happen.” Aul has been vacationing in Washington since Friday. He was supposed to meet with his cousin, who works at the Pentagon, on Tuesday for a tour of the facility. Aul and members of his family were on the Metro train — which alternately travels below and above
ground — en route to the Pentagon when the sheriff looked out the window and saw a large cloud of smoke “When I saw that high cloud of smoke rising to the sky, I felt something was wrong,” Aul said. When the train stopped at its next-to-last destination, the operator ordered everyone off. Aul and his family waited 45 minutes before they could catch another train away from Washington. As he waited, Aul said he heard the constant blare of sirens as emergency crews rushed to the Pentagon. “People everywhere were just looking at the sky,” Aul said. “It was odd. There wasn’t mass chaos. It wasn’t like things were out of
control. There was just a constant array of sirens and vehicles going everywhere. “We were 60 seconds away. It’s scary. The good Lord was watching over us.” Aul said he planned on canceling the rest of his vacation, which included his first visit to the nation’s capital, and returning to Delaware County as soon as possible. “I am not sure I want to come back,” Aul said. “I have had enough excitement for one vacation.” Aul said he had not been able to contact his cousin, who is an Army general. The military officer had planned to meet the sheriff in the lobby of the Army section of the Pentagon.
The sheriff said as soon as he returned to his hotel, he spent most of his time praying, then answering pages and phone calls from concerned friends and relatives. He said it was hard to find a phone or use a cellular telephone in Washington “People in Muncie, Ind., don’t realize how lucky they are to live where they live,” Aul said. “This is real. Terrorism is real. It is something we are going to have to deal with from now on.” Aul said Tuesday afternoon that he was making arrangements to begin the drive back to Muncie. “Right now, I just feel a duty to be back in Delaware County. That’s where I should be right now.”

Reports cause panic pumping

quite frankly, unbelievable behavior by anyone taking advantage of this terrible situation for economic gain by collusion or price fixing.” By noon Tuesday, Johnson Oil Co. had raised the price of regular unleaded gasoline by 24 cents to nearly $1.90 at the petroleum dealer’s Gaston retail outlet. By 3 p.m., Pat Johnson said people were lining up at the company’s pumps.
MUNCIE — Remember this date: Sept. 11, 2001. “We’ve lost our innocence today,” said Bryan Byers, a criminal justice professor at Ball State University. “We really have. This is a turning point for us as a society.” Tuesday’s horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon mark an unprecedented violation against a country that had gone largely untouched by worldwide terrorism. “It’s been a terrible morning,” Byers said. Despite the scope of the attacks, however, the professor said the motivation boiled down to one small word: hate. “Any kind of act of terrorism is rooted in some ideology of hate,” said Byers, a hate-crime expert. However, he and a colleague — professor and Middle East expert Dan Goffman — warned against placing premature blame for the tragedy. “We can’t rule out homegrown terrorism,” Byers said. Goffman recalled how suspicion was immediately directed at Arab terrorists in the wake of the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing. The facts, of course, proved otherwise. Regarding speculation about Tuesday’s attacks, Goffman said, “I think all of that is over the top at this point.”

MUNCIE — Mary Rose Shaw called The Star Press on Tuesday afternoon to report gasoline prices at Village Pantries had reached $1.91 a gallon and a McClure’s station was charging $1.99 for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline. “These people and others are trying to make a dollar off an act of terrorism,” she said in disgust. AAA Hoosier Motor Club urged motorists to top off their
tanks Tuesday afternoon, about the same time city and county officials began urging the public not to panic buy. After talking to Mayor Dan Canan, Jay B. Ricker said Tuesday he would let his stations run out of gasoline Tuesday before he raised prices. “There has been a lot of panic buying according to some media reports, but the system is not designed to allow everybody to fill up at the same time,” Ricker said. “I urge the public to buy in a normal pattern, because the product is
still available.” Canan and Delaware County commissioners pledged Tuesday to enact an ordinance at an emergency session this morning to prohibit price gouging. The state’s attorney general released a statement at 5 p.m. warning retailers not to overreact. “I caution businesses not to take advantage of consumers in this time of grief and fear,” Steve Carter said in the statement. “I have the authority and will critically review any and all complaints of improper and,

MUNCIE — City residents expressed shock but not surprise at Tuesday’s terrorist attacks on the United States. People who spoke with The Star Press also called for a decisive response to the attacks, but some emphasized the United States should not underestimate the effect its actions have on the rest of the world. In restaurants and waiting rooms around the city, people gathered in front of televisions and listened to radios as news reports recounted the attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. “This is a tragedy,” said Beth Harris, whose family owns Bruner’s Restaurant. “I didn’t realize the magnitude of it. It’s just . . . a shock. I can’t believe this.”

The attack and the possibility of a military response hit home for Harris, whose 19-year-old son, Sam, was due to report for Army service today. “Of course he’s concerned,” Harris said. “He’s just headed for boot camp.” After reports that an airplane crashed outside Pittsburgh, Pa., Patty Rifner contacted her family members in Lancaster, who reported they were fine. “It just gives you goose bumps,” Rifner said. “All you

can think of is, it’s another Pearl Harbor.” Another Bruner’s customer, Cathy Manning, said she assumed her son’s travels from Holland to the United States would be delayed. She acknowledged, however, it was a much more frightening time for other families. “This will be a day you remember, like JFK’s assassination or the Challenger,” Manning said. Devendran Nadesan, a Sri
Lankan native whose wife teaches at Ball State University, watched television coverage from Cooper Tire’s waiting room. “I think there should be a much firmer and harder response to these kind of things,” Nadesan said. Bill Smith, another Cooper customer, said it was likely the terrorist attack would result in delays in travel and shipping, which he believed would have an effect on his machinery business. “We have large containers of machinery that will be held up for weeks, and if they’re not, they should be,” Smith said. “Our country has become very relaxed on security. I’ve traveled all over the world for my business, and this is the most relaxed country I’ve been in,” Smith said. “We’re not the invulnerable country we used to be.” Candy Walls, a Syracuse
resident whose son attends Ball State, listened to reports on her car radio outside the Marsh supermarket on Tillotson Avenue. “It scares me,” Walls said. “It doesn’t surprise me; I know it’s possible.” Bruce Hozeski, a Ball State faculty member also in Cooper’s waiting room, said he was not particularly surprised about the attacks. “My heart goes out because of the amount of suffering going on,” Hozeski said. “I’m not surprised. We’re too calloused to what our actions do to the rest of the world. “We have to be careful in finding out who did this, but devastation should be wreaked on whoever is responsible.” “We’ll probably end up in war, I imagine,” said Dave Canter, an Easton resident eating breakfast at Bruner’s.

Tailback Marcus Merriweather fumbled three times last season while rushing for 1,004 yards. Two of the fumbles, both of which were lost, in a narrow 38-34 loss at Central Michigan still stick out in his mind. “It’s an awful feeling,” Merriweather said. “If you fumble once, MERRIWEATHER the next time you get the ball you’re praying it doesn’t happen again. You have to get the job done, but it’s a distraction.” Ball State quarterback Talmadge Hill hasn’t thrown an interception this season. Dating to last season, he hasn’t been intercepted in 71 consecutive pass attempts. That’s a big switch from 2001, when he threw 12 interceptions (one in every 18 pass attempts). “Some of it is luck, and probably a lot of it is making better
decisions,” Ball State offensive coordinator Rich Spisak said of Hill’s improvement. “Most interceptions occur in the middle of the field, where you throw it up for grabs or there’s a safety floating back there that you don’t see.” Ball State has shifted away from throwing a lot of passes to the middle of the field. The Cardinals’ quick passing game and routes to the outside have helped eliminate some high-risk throws. Hill went into spring practice last March with the goal of throwing only one interception for every 45 pass attempts. He had one for every 53 throws during the spring. “He’s gotten a lot better with it,” Cardinals quarterback coach Brent Baldwin said. “He does a good job of throwing the ball away when [the play] isn’t there or running with it when he finds a seam. He’s been conscious of it, and it’s showed the first two games.” Hill continues to work at being better with his deep throws. His inconsistency comes from not following through and using his arm more than his body. “If your technique is the same all the time, you’ll be more accurate,” Baldwin said. “His feet are very good, and if he can improve his throwing ability, the sky’s the limit for him.”

Top-ranked Kuerten falls in Brazil Open
unsettling moments before the Indianapolis Colts opened the season Sunday at New York. He wasn’t sure how the Colts’ young defense would respond. He wasn’t sure how many mistakes would be made. He wasn’t sure whether they could limit Jets running back Curtis Martin, who ripped through the Colts defense for 203 yards last December. Monday, Mora said he got some pretty good answers. ‘‘They eased my concerns because they did it in a real game, a regular-season game,’’ Mora said. ‘‘I can see how they’ll make improvement through the season, and overall, I’m pleased.’’
SAUIPE, Brazil — Top-ranked Gustavo Kuerten, unable to bounce back from his U.S. Open drubbing, lost Tuesday in the opening round of the Brazil Open to fellow Brazilian Flavio Saretta, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. In other matches involving seeded men, No. 4 Nicolas Massu of Chile defeated Ignacio Hirigoyen of Argentina 6-2, 2-6, 6-2; No. 5 Fernando Meligeni of Brazil routed countryman Francisco Costa 6-1, 6-2; No. 6 Alexandre Simoni of Brazil beat Nikolai Davydenko of Russia 6-3, 4-6, 6-4; and No. 7 Agustin Calleri of Argentina downed Luis Horna of Peru 6-0, 7-6 (4). Among the women, No. 4 Silvia Farina of Italy and No. 5 Henrieta Nagyova of Slovenia advanced with straight-set victories.
PRO FOOTBALL: Denver players believe they lost the most valuable person on the team when Ed McCaffrey broke his leg.
NCAA delays vote on deregulation INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has delayed a vote on an amateurism deregulation package in order to give member schools time to consider alternative proposals. Originally set for consideration at a meeting of the NCAA’s Academics/Eligibility/ Compliance Cabinet next month, the proposals were tabled at the request of the Division I board of directors. The packages include proposals on organized competition before an athlete enters college, entering professional drafts, signing contracts and competing with professionals.

DENVER — It was a scene the Denver Broncos and their fans had witnessed many times before. Without heed for personal safety or the inevitable consequences, Ed McCaffrey makes a spectacular catch, then gets flattened by a cornerback, linebacker or free safety. The collisions are typically followed by a quick check for injury and a brief trip to the sideline. This time, McCaffrey remained on the ground, clutching his left leg in pain. ‘‘I tried to help him up, and one of the New York guys tried to help him up,’’ Denver tight end Desmond Clark said. ‘‘You just think he’s laid up for a second and he’s going to bounce up. He said, ‘My leg is broken.’ He was calm about it, and I looked down and saw it. It freaked me out for a second.’’ McCaffrey, one of the NFL’s most productive receivers over the past 3 years, will miss the rest of the season after breaking both bones in his left leg during Denver’s 31-20 victory over the New York Giants on Monday night. Doctors at Swedish Medical Center placed steel rods in McCaffrey’s leg during a 2-hour operation Tuesday. He is expected to be sidelined for 6 months. Despite concussions, strained hamstrings and numerous other aches and pains, McCaffrey never

LONG RIDE BACK: Denver Broncos trainers help support the leg of receiver Ed McCaffrey on Monday after it was broken in the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Giants in Denver. has missed more than one game in a season during his 11-year career. ‘‘Losing a guy like Eddie is a big hit to our team,’’ Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski said. ‘‘He’s one of our most valuable players day in and day out, year in and year out.’’ McCaffrey, who had a teamrecord 101 receptions in 2000, also is one of Denver’s toughest players. His shoulder pads look like they wouldn’t fit many Pop Warner players, and he wears minimal padding because he believes it hinders his speed and flexibility. The equipment quirks often leave McCaffrey vulnerable to big hits, but no amount of protection would have prevented what happened against the Giants. With the Broncos facing second and 9 from their 35-yard line 5

minutes into the third quarter, McCaffrey stretched out for a onehanded catch and was immediately hit by New York safety Shaun Williams. At first, it looked like McCaffrey might have been dazed by the hit and the crowd of 75,000 offered a supportive chant of ‘‘Ed-die. Eddie.’’ Fellow receiver Rod Smith quickly discovered the injury was much more serious. ‘‘Somebody needed to hurry up and get out there,’’ Smith said. ‘‘I knew it wasn’t good because I was right there. It hurt, it really did. It just went all the way through my spine.’’
Buffalo Sabres re-sign defenseman BUFFALO, N.Y. — Alexei Zhitnik, who led Buffalo Sabres defensemen in scoring last season, agreed to a 3-year contract Tuesday. He will make about $6.5 million in the first 2 years, which are guaranteed. The Sabres hold the option for the final year of the contract, worth about $4 million.

INDIANAPOLIS — The terrorist attacks on New York and Washington left the Indianapolis Colts and other NFL teams in a state of uncertainty Tuesday. No decision has yet been made by the Colts league on notebook w h e t h e r t h e games this weekend would go on as sched- uled. But the Colts said Tuesday that they would continue to prepare for their home opener Sunday
against the Denver Broncos as if the game would be played, while at the same time expressing condolences for the attacks and the victims involved. ‘‘In answer to press inquiries, we will proceed with game preparations until further notice from the NFL office,’’ team president Bill Polian said Tuesday afternoon. ‘‘Obviously, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of these terrible tragedies across our country. We are praying for the safety, health and recovery of all of our fellow Americans.’’

When painting, the color choice or combination of colors (‘‘color palette’’) has a significant effect on both the appearance and value of a home. This is true of both interior — and exterior — painting projects. At the exterior, the color configuration can make a narrow house appear wider or a short, stubby house look taller. On the interior, a light color can make a room appear larger, while a dark color has the opposite effect. Beyond color, a little paint and a lot of imagination can go a long way in adding to a home. Decorative painting techniques such as rag rolling, graining, marbling and sponge painting can do wonders to add both depth and interest to a space. If your talent does not exceed Rorschach drawings or you failed kindergarten art, you might want to try a simpler, yet equally decorative technique — stencil painting. Unlike the other techniques noted, painting with stencils requires little skill. You don’t need to worry about ‘‘coloring out of
the lines,’’ and a stencil can be used over and over to create a theme, pattern or border. What’s more, your creativity needn’t be limited to your home’s interior. Mailboxes, fences, fountains, flowerpots and trellises can be embellished with flowers, trailing ivy, birds and butterflies or with whatever your imagination dictates. Stencil painting is fun, easy, inexpensive and doesn’t take much time. Start by deciding what you want to decorate and the subject or design that you want to use. Let’s say you want to add a rose and some trailing ivy to a mailbox. Find a drawing of a rose and some ivy in a crafts book, art book or magazine. The size of the original art can be increased or decreased using a copy machine. Once you have the desired size, lay a sheet of clear acetate over the art, tape it into place and trace the design onto the acetate using a medium- to fine-point indelible marker. Remove the acetate, tape it onto a sheet of cardboard and carefully cut the stencil with a utility knife. Don’t rush it — the quality of your finished product has everything to do with how well your stencil is cut. Plan stencils with one cutout sheet for each color. For example, if your subject is a red rose, you will need one stencil for the

ear Ann Landers: You often say how grateful you are that your readers look out for one another. Hear, hear! It’s beautiful. A few months ago, you printed a letter from ‘‘Tim in Evansville, Ind.,’’ who said his wife died of ovarian cancer. Her only symptom was swelling in one foot. (A tumor was impacting the blood flow.) Doctors misdiagnosed the problem, and when they found the cancer, it was too late. I want to thank Tim for writing to you. If it weren’t for his letter, I would not have known to mention this to my own doctor. Last summer, I began having problems with my feet swelling. The left ankle and foot were swelling much more than the right. I went to my regular doctor and was given water pills. Later, when the swelling did not go away, I tried to schedule another appointment, but he couldn’t see me until the day after Tim’s letter appeared in your column. When I went for my exam, I took your column with me. The next few weeks included an ultrasound and blood tests. The doctor found a cyst on my

New Get Real Girls dolls are the anti-Barbies THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Barbie’s buxom bod and fashion fripperies have long been under attack for setting unrealistic standards for girls. So a decade ago, a new doll challenged her supremacy. With a more realistic body shape, the ‘‘Happy to Be Me’’ doll was widely applauded by adults. But girls took to her like broccoli with liver sauce, and within months, Happy headed off to that great garage sale in the sky. Barbie never blinked. Lesson: To challenge Barbie, you have to offer something more than just Not Being Barbie. Now the six Get Real Girls are on the scene, with a buzz that has the inventors crossing their fingers that they have a hit. They’re all about Not Being Barbie. What they offer in return is fully jointed, highly accessorized adventure. Claire is not a doll you’d fantasize taking to the mall, because her swim fins would get caught in the escalator. The dolls’ unprissy flat feet fit into cleats, sneakers and hiking boots. Their arms and legs can move into poses that Barbie can only dream of. Each of the girls specializes in a particular sport — Gabi the soccer player, Nini the mountaineer, Skylar the snowboarder, Corey the surfer, Nakia the basketball player and Claire the scuba diver. The Get Real Girls are part of a wave of Not-Barbie dolls that have hit the market recently. Smartees, for instance, come in a variety of careers, such as Ashley the attorney and Vicky the
veterinarian (dog, syringe and bandages included). The Get Set Club dolls come in simple T-shirts, jeans and sneakers, with separately sold career outfits. The Get Real Girls national debut occurs this month as a half-million of the dolls — and their backpacks, sunglasses, watches, water bottles, passports and sports gear — hit specialty stores and Target with a $24.99 price tag. The wide release follows months in which the dolls were available only at a few specialty stores and online dealers. ‘‘It’s been phenomenal,’’ said Jana Machin, the company’s chief executive officer. ‘‘We get so much feedback from girls and parents, both moms and dads: ‘She’s rockclimbing up the side of our couch.’ ” Next year, the company plans to add two more girls, Kadin (volleyball) and Zoe (skateboarding), and two Get Real Guys — Piersin and Jack (skateboarding and surfing). Packed in with all the dolls’ baggage is a sense of social duty. Their principal designer, Julz Chavez, is cousin to the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez. Chavez, who used to work for Barbie’s maker, Mattel, designed the dolls to look fit and athletic but not anorexic. The six dolls encompass several races and nationalities and, according to the stories that come with them, have ambitions that include becoming a doctor and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. ‘‘She looks very athletic, . . . and it’s a bit more dignified,’’ Machin said.
Stencil painting a fun way to decorate PAINTING: Even people who are artistically challenged can add a bit of flair to their homes.

Plan stencils with one cutout sheet for each color. For example, if your subject is a red rose, you will need one stencil for the red-rose petals and one stencil for the green stem and leaves. red-rose petals and one stencil for the green stem and leaves. This will prevent colors that are close to one another or that overlap from ‘‘bleeding,’’ and will ensure better results. Add registration marks (a small cross) to the corners of each stencil so that the various sheets can be aligned to complete the design. Poke a small hole at the center of each of the registration marks and use a pencil point to transfer these points to the surface being painted. Align subsequent registration marks with these points. Before painting with a stencil, make sure the object to be painted is clean and has a base color that will be enhanced by the stencil colors. A light color is usually a safe bet. Unfinished surfaces should be sanded, primed and painted with one to two coats of finish. Once the finish coat has dried (and before beginning stencil painting), use a pencil to lay out your stencil design and/or repeating pattern on the object to be
painted. Tape the first color stencil to the object using blue painters’ tape. It isn’t so sticky and can be removed without taking paint with it. With the stencil securely in place, dip a stencil brush into the first color, remove the excess paint onto a piece of paper and bounce the brush straight up and down onto the stencil. In contrast to a traditional paintbrush, a stencil brush is round and contains short, dense bristles. After you complete the first color, carefully remove the first stencil and dry the paint using a hand-held hair dryer. Tape the second stencil into place — aligning with the registration marks — and repeat the process using the appropriate color. Repeat the process for each of the stencils. Cleaning the stencils and brushes frequently will prevent paint from smearing and render the best results. For more home improvement tips and information, visit our Web site at www.onthehouse.com.
this newspaper. Dear Ann Landers: Many young adults have recently left home for college and are living with roommates. Others might be getting new jobs and living with strangers as roommates. Both groups need to know what it takes to be a good housemate. May I offer some suggestions? 1. Pick up after yourself. Don’t leave your personal belongings in the bathtub or around the sink unless space has been set aside just for you. 2. Clean the sink and the tub every time you use them. 3. Don’t leave your clothes in the washer or dryer for someone else to remove. Nobody owes you this service. 4. Pay your rent and utility bills on time or early. This will not only improve your credit, it will prevent costly late charges. 5. Help out with routine house-
hold chores. Do at least your fair share, and whenever possible, do more. It will be appreciated. 6. Criticize your roommate only when absolutely necessary, and be kind when you do so. Meanwhile, be generous with compliments. Words of praise are music to the ears and can solidify relationships. 7. Keep your bedroom, car and workspace clean and orderly. It will be noticed by others, and you will be admired and respected. Thanks, Ann. We would all get along so much better if we did these simple things. — A Reader in Grand Rapids, Mich. Dear Grand Rapids: Anyone who shares living quarters with another person should keep your list handy — or post it on the refrigerator. Thanks for writing.

Panel: More stem cell lines needed WASHINGTON — Public funding of embryonic stem cell research is the best way to speed new medical breakthroughs, but it will take work on more than just the 64 colonies of cells President Bush is allowing, says a report by one of the nation’s most influential scientific groups. Also, researchers should aggressively pursue a related technique known as therapeutic cloning, in which a person’s genes might one day be used to grow his or her own stem cells for customized therapy, says the report by the National Academy of Sciences. But because embryonic stem cell research raises ethical questions, the National Institutes of Health should create a special advisory group to oversee it, much as an NIH committee oversees research into gene therapy, says the report issued Tuesday. The National Academy of Sciences is an independent organization chartered by Congress to advise the government on scientific matters. Thus, the report is

State court hears Kevorkian appeal DETROIT — A state appeals court panel Tuesday heard arguments on whether assisted suicide proponent Jack Kevorkian deserves a new trial on his second-degree murder conviction. Kevorkian is serving a 10- to 25-year sentence for the 1998 injection death of a terminally ill Oakland County man. Thomas
Youk, who had Lou Gehrig’s disease, was shown on CBS’s 60 Minutes getting a lethal dose of potassium chloride from Kevorkian. Kevorkian, 73, who says he has assisted in more than 130 deaths, was convicted in March 1999. It was unknown when the three-judge panel would make a decision.
Jury to determine woman’s competency HOUSTON — The competency hearing for Andrea Yates, the Houston mother accused of drowning her five children, was postponed Tuesday in the wake of the terrorism attacks in New York and Washington. Jurors were assembling at the Harris County Courthouse when the selection process was put off for a week. They were told to return Sept. 18. Yates, 37, is accused of two counts of capital murder for the deaths of three of her children at their home in June. Prosecutors say she methodically drowned all five children in the family’s bathtub. Defense attorneys say their client was suffering from severe
mental illness. Yates is being held in the psychiatric unit of Harris County Jail. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
Suspect gave $1M to St. Jude hospital ATLANTA — A man accused of stealing millions in a McDonald’s contest scheme apparently gave a $1-million gift to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, CNN reported Tuesday. Jerome (Jerry) Jacobson sent the Memphis, Tenn., hospital the winning game piece nearly 6 years ago. St. Jude official George Shadroui said the ‘‘Instant Winner’’ game piece arrived in a plain white envelope with a Dallas postmark and no return address. McDonald’s verified the $1million game piece from its Monopoly contest, waived contest rules that required such pieces be redeemed only by winners and agreed to pay St. Jude $50,000 a year for 20 years. Shadroui said the hospital had been receiving the payments since 1996.

Explosions shake Afghanistan capital KABUL, Afghanistan — Rockets flared and explosions could be heard north of the capital near the airport early Wednesday, hours after devastating terror attacks in the United States. The United States quickly denied any involvement in the violence in Afghanistan, which has been shielding Osama bin Laden, a terrorism mastermind linked by some U.S. officials to Tuesday’s attacks in New York and Washington. The explosions began around 2:30 a.m. and came in rapid succession, seconds apart, making buildings shudder. There were no sounds of airplanes or antiaircraft fire.

Officials: Workers on trial for preaching KABUL, Afghanistan — After weeks of trying, three Western diplomats met Tuesday with eight foreign aid workers to try to sort out their legal options, more than a week after their trial on charges of preaching Christianity in Afghanistan began here. The diplomats met their nationals — two Americans, four Germans and two Australians — 3 days after the defendants appeared for the first time in the Taliban’s supreme court and were told to decide either to hire a lawyer or to represent themselves. Since then, the diplomats from the United States, Germany and Australia, as well as the parents of the two American women, have been considering lawyers who
