Mayor opposes gay proposal Hickman 1 of 11 Indiana leaders in effort to defeat constitution change FROM STAFF REPORTS
INDIANAPOLIS — Mayors from across Indiana — including Angola’s Dick Hickman — on Tuesday stood with Freedom Indiana and spoke out against House Joint Resolution 6, the proposed amendment to the Indiana Constitution that would permanently define marriage and would remove existing protections under law for same-sex and unmarried couples and families. The bipartisan group of 11
Indiana mayors oppose the amendment for a variety of reasons but they all agree the language should not be added to the state’s constitution. “We’re proud to stand with these mayors from across our state as champions of freedom for all Hoosiers,” said Freedom Indiana campaign manager Megan Robertson. “They represent cities large and small, and they understand that this amendment will make it harder for them to

Equal rights means equal rights for all. To take these rights away from one group of people means we can take them away or deny them to anyone we don’t understand or agree with,”
Hickman said in a statement released by Freedom Indiana. Freedom Indiana is leading the fight against enactment of HJR-6. The resolution has already been approved by one legislature and must be approved by the end of the 2014 session before the proposed constitutional amendment could be put before the public for a vote in November. If the measure does not pass this upcoming legislative session it dies. If the language of the proposed amendment is altered and it is approved, the resolution will have to pass a second time in either 2015 or 2016 to be put on the ballot.

Despite Obama’s sunny presentation, officials are furiously working behind the scenes to rectify an unresolved issue with enrollment data that could become a significant headache after the first of the year. Insurers say much of the enrollment data they’re receiving is practically useless, meaning some consumers might not be able to get access to benefits on Jan. 1, the date their
ANGOLA — The city will consider writing an ordinance establishing rates to help recuperate some costs associated with law enforcement crash reconstruction. Angola Police Officer Matt Kling made a presentation Monday to the Angola Common Council about what goes into reconstructing an accident and costs involved. Kling has been a reconstructionist for three years. Reconstruction is necessary for a severe crash involving a fatality or serious injury. “Reconstruction determines criminal involvement or who is at fault,” Kling said. He said legally, a crash report is required if there is an injury or more than $1,000 in damage. Currently, the city charges $5 for reconstruction reports and another $5 for associated photos. On average, Kling said a reconstruction costs around $1,100, not including extra law enforcement personnel. Kling told the council a recent accident involving a car and semi truck cost $480 in manpower. He then spent 2 1/2 days reconstructing the crash. “The city and county have been working together on reconstruction for the last few years,” he said. Kling said the Steuben County

Obama: Health law working WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to regroup from his health care law’s disastrous rollout, President Barack Obama on Tuesday insisted that the sweeping overhaul is working and warned Republican critics that he would fight any efforts to strip away its protections. “We’re not repealing it as long as I’m president,” Obama said during a health care event at the White House. “If I have to fight another three years to make sure this law works, then that’s what I’ll do.” Earlier Tuesday, the administration released a 50-state report saying that nearly 1.5 million people were found eligible for Medicaid during October. As website problems
depressed sign-ups for subsidized private coverage, that safety-net program for low-income people saw a nearly 16 percent increase in states that have agreed to expand it, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. The White House is trying to cast the health care law in a positive light after the first two months of enrollment for the centerpiece insurance exchanges were marred with technical problems. With the majority of problems with the sign-up website resolved, by the accounting of administration officials, Obama and his team plan to spend much of December trying to remind Americans why the administration fought for the law in

One of the top considerations was the chaos that would occur when frantic parents began descending on the campus to pick up their their children. With texting and social media, word could spread to the public faster than emergency crews could get there. And how would the school district keep track of multiple student patients that had to go through a decontamination unit prior to being taken to a hospital?

Angola OKs engineering fee BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — The same engineering company that billed Angola an amended original streetscape price tag from two years ago submitted a request for additional services for $19,375. The Angola Common Council approved paying the added service fee at Monday’s regular meeting following an explanation and recommendation from Bill Boyer, city engineer. Boyer said the scope of services for the second part of the streetscape on West Maumee Street will be more complex including stormwater separation and grading changes.

Work to start in spring Construction is expected to start this spring on the project that will extend from City Hall along West Maumee Street to the Indiana Northeastern Railroad tracks. The revitalization will include installation of planters, Americans With Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalks, ADA curb ramps and new storm sewers. The project is estimated to cost some $1 million. The streetscape’s first phase included the redesign of Public Square with landscaped medians, brick-paved sidewalks and landscaping. In June, council reluctantly approved paying an amended engineering bill from V3
that stemmed from the downtown streetscape two years ago. V3 billed the city an amended amount of $80,394 from the $69,425 original price tag.
Federal grant sought In other business: • Council approved the financial commitment for a traffic signal pre-emption project. The city will seek a $275,000 federal grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation on the $305,000 project. Councilman Mike McClelland asked if the city would approach Steuben County officials to seek assistance with funding. He was told the issue is on an upcoming county agenda to consider. The project is for traffic signal control box and law enforcement vehicle equipment. • Council approved the first reading of an ordinance amending parks and recreation fees. The new schedule would be Selman Timber Frame, $200 for city residents and $250 for both non-residents and commercial; Firemen’s Park, residents $35, non-residents $50 and commercial, $100; Commons Park No. 1, $50 residents, $75 non-residents and $150 commercial; Commons Park No. 2, $20 resident, $30 non-resident, commercial unavailable; Commons Park No. 3, $30 resident, $50 non-resident and commercial unavailable. For nonprofits,
rates will be $125 for Selman Timber Frame, $50 for Firemen’s Park; Commons Park No. 1 $75 and Lions Park $15. Additional fees could apply for table removal or addition. • Council approved the second and third readings of an ordinance amending the zoning from small to medium general commercial, C1 and agricultural, AG, to medium to large general commercial, C2 for Robert and Johanna Ritenour, 1440 N 200W. During a public hearing, Craig Williams, wastewater superintendent who also sits on the plan commission, said he was concerned neighboring property owners didn’t have representation on the rezoning and may want to comment on it. Initially, a vote to table the matter to gather more information and take more comment was defeated. The approval of the second and third readings was approved by a 3-1 vote with Councilwoman Kathy Armstrong voting against it and Councilman Dave Martin abstaining. • Council approved the first reading of an ordinance establishing sewer rates that would be $9.20 per 1,000 gallons monthly within city corporate limits and $11.50 outside corporate limits. Metered fees differ according to size. The city will have a public hearing on the rates at the Dec. 16 council meeting. • Council approved two local public agency
project coordination contracts with the Indiana Department of Transportation, one for pedestrian improvements along Mechanic, Williams, Mill and Stocker streets and another for upcoming work on Wendell Jacob Avenue east of North Wayne Street. • Angola Clerk-Treasurer Deb Twitchell said the city could have its 2014 budget approved by Jan. 1 by Indiana Local Government Finance.
Police news • Before the council meeting, the Angola Board of Public Works and Safety tabled a memo of understanding with the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County for added police presence from grant funding. MSD received a Secured School Safety Grant to cover half the cost of an additional police officer on school grounds. The grant will provide half the cost of an additional officer assigned through Angola Police Department, with the total cost estimated at $43,200. The board of public works tabled the memo to gather more information. • The board of public works approved hiring a third part-time Angola Police Officer Kevin Jones. Angola Police Chief Stu Hamblen said Jones is retired from Kendallville’s police department and is a criminal justice instructor.

Bloomington’s B-Line Trail was one of the factors that earned the city a bronze rating from Walk Friendly Communities. The B-Line is popular with walkers and bikers.
ordinance that outlines requirements for sidewalks and well-maintained, accessible pedestrian signals at intersections. However, it also pointed out pitfalls and provided suggestions for improvements, including increasing the miles of sidewalk, safety and education campaigns, reducing the crash rate and developing a pedestrian count program. The rating expires in 2018, and Caristo said the city will apply again. The report listed the city’s status of walking as “on the right track,� but the injury rate was a concern. Caristo said the number of pedestrian and vehicle collisions have been increasing, from 53 reported in 2007 to 76 in 2011, but it’s most likely due to the increasing number of people walking. “If anything, in the past five years, we’ve
been taking a lot of steps to improve our pedestrian safety,� Caristo said. Another suggestion in the report is to establish a pedestrian count system, which could be a way to collect more specific data on the city’s injury rate. “It’s something we haven’t done so far, but it’s a really good idea,� Caristo said. While there’s no plans to start a pedestrian count, the city is already working toward adding more sidewalks. Caristo said it’s something done every year, but it’s an expensive process. In 2012, the city built about 2.5 miles of new sidewalk, which accounted for about 1 percent of the overall sidewalk network, and it cost about $250,000. “It’s a good amount of money that we put toward it every year, but it just doesn’t get us very far,� Caristo said. “We have to be very careful
and deliberate about where we install new sidewalk.� One recommendation the city has a start on is the educating and enforcement initiatives. The city launched the Civil Streets campaign last month to promote safer interactions among pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. In the spring, the city plans to work with the Bloomington Police Department and the Indiana University Police Department to distribute information and issue warnings and tickets, if necessary. “We just wanted to start doing something in that area and get the ball rolling,� Caristo said. He also said he was surprised by the recognition of the city’s accessible pedestrian signals at intersections. “We’ve always aimed at wanting to have 100 percent, and we’re not there yet,� Caristo said.
Preservationists eye use for terminal BY JOHN MARTIN Evansville Courier & Press
EVANSVILLE (AP) — Indiana Landmarks has a vision for the restored exterior of the former Greyhound station in downtown Evansville, but the use of the building has yet to be determined. The search for what Indiana Landmarks Director Marsh Davis called the “highest and best use� for the historic bus terminal will extend into 2014. “As you can imagine, it’s an unusual building, an enamel, metal-paneled building,� Davis told the Evansville Courier & Press. “It’s going to take

Walk Friendly Communities, which is an origination sponsored by FedEx and the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, ranks cities on their commitment to pedestrian safety and walkability as platinum, gold, silver or bronze. It recently awarded the bronze status to Bloomington — the only Indiana city currently ranked. Bloomington bicycle and pedestrian coordinator Vince Caristo said the city applied to see how it compared to other communities and to receive feedback. “It’s always great to get recognition for the things our community has done for a long time,� Caristo said. “It’s really valuable to get outside perspective on the things we do.� The report praised the city for the B-Line Trail, the unified development

Davis, however, said this week that all possibilities are still being explored, and it’s not a given that a local Indiana Landmarks office will be part of the plan. “It’s not essential that we’re in there. “If there’s a better use for the economy in downtown Evansville, we’ll take a back seat to that. “We want the building to be used in a way that’s best for downtown Evansville. We want it to be an active part of the economy and something that will draw people downtown. We don’t know exactly what that is yet.�
SOUTH BEND (AP) — “Welcome to Walnut Grove,� Tom Schultz says to two visitors on a rainy fall day, unlocking the door of the more than century-old, one-room schoolhouse that’s become both his passion and responsibility, as he sees it. It was 23 years ago that he oversaw the painstaking move of the building from Cassopolis to the grounds behind the old Eggleston Elementary School, where he formerly taught fourth grade. He reflects proudly on the coming together of the school community to raise the $26,000 necessary to move the building nearly 30 miles. Now, Schultz is an instructional coach and intervention specialist at Nuner Primary Center. But he still drives across town — even during summers and on weekends — to oversee and maintain the schoolhouse and the property it sits on, which also includes a small cabin, the South Bend Tribune reported. He smiles as he describes the heydays here: kids square-dancing on the porch of the cabin, sitting on benches in the surrounding woods looking for wildlife, and sledding down a nearby embankment in the winter. But perhaps because standardized test scores now trump field trips, he said, the property hasn’t been used for at least six years. Even more depressing, Walnut Grove’s fate seems to have been cinched — at least for the time being — in 2010 when kids playing with matches and dry grass set the schoolhouse on fire. Quick responders, Schultz said, saved it, though one wall sustained

heavy damage. None of that deters Schultz, who has worked for South Bend schools for nearly 40 years. “I could never walk away from this project,â€? he said. “There’s no way. “We’ve done so many things here,â€? he said. “When there was a (working) furnace, we could bring the kids out and it would be snowing and we’d do creative writing. ‌ I’d tell teachers, ‘Whatever you do in your fourth-grade class at Marquette or Kennedy, do here.’â€? As for getting some help with the property, Schultz said several groups, companies and individuals have assisted over the years. He could use more, both in resources and time. A spokeswoman for South Bend schools says Schultz’s dedication to the old schoolhouse and grounds is much appreciated, but even so, the district doesn’t plan to put any financial resources toward it. (The old Eggleston building now houses Rise Up Academy.) “But we see the value in it,â€? Sue Coney said recently. Gene Hollenberg, principal of Nuner, said Schultz doesn’t only donate his time to keep the old schoolhouse grounds maintained at Eggleston. He also donates a significant portion of the fee for a multimedia writing program done every year at Nuner. “He will do anything,â€? Hollenberg said, “that benefits kids.â€? As for Walnut Grove, Schultz believes it’ll be a vibrant place again in the future. “Absolutely, absolutely,â€? he says. “I can see the day. That’s what I’m working for, to get kids back out here.â€?

People view a roadside memorial at the site of the auto crash that took the life of actor Paul Walker and another man, in the small community of Valencia, Calif., Monday. The neighborhood where “Fast & Furious” star Walker died in the one-car crash is known to attract street racers, according to law enforcement officials. Walker and his friend and fellow fast-car enthusiast Roger Rodas died Saturday when the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT they were traveling in smashed into a light pole and tree. The two had taken what was expected to be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser at Rodas’ custom car shop in Valencia, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Walker autopsy underway; ‘Fast & Furious 7’ halted LOS ANGELES (AP) — The movie studio that makes the “Fast & Furious” action franchise said Tuesday it was suspending production of the latest installment, while authorities pressed ahead with their investigation into how Paul Walker died. The Los Angeles County coroner’s office said autopsies were underway on the two bodies recovered from the fiery crash of a Porsche that Walker, a star of the mega-hit movies, and his friend were last seen riding in. Walker’s publicist has said the actor was the passenger when Roger Rodas’ Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a light pole and tree, then exploded in flames Saturday. The families of both men have provided dental records, which will permit not only formal identification of the bodies, but also official word on whether Walker or Rodas was behind the wheel. Walker starred in all but one of the six “Fast & Furious” blockbusters. He had been on break from shooting the latest installment; Universal Pictures said Tuesday that production of “Fast & Furious 7” is on hold. A spokesman declined to say when shooting would resume. A large portion of the film has been shot, but it is not yet complete. It’s scheduled for release in July. Universal Pictures has not announced how it will adjust the movie or handle Walker’s unfinished performance.
While the neighborhood where the crash happened is known to attract street racers, law enforcement officials do not believe the Porsche had been racing another car. Accident investigators “have received eyewitness statements that the car involved was traveling alone at a high rate of speed,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. “No eyewitness has contacted the (department) to say there was a second vehicle.” Hindering the accident investigation has been the crowds of fans that flocked to the crash site to leave flowers, candles and memorabilia from the action films. On Saturday afternoon, Walker and Rodas took what they said would be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas’ custom car shop. The crash happened on a street that forms an approximately 1-mile loop amid industrial office parks. It is rimmed by hills and relatively isolated from traffic, especially on weekends when the businesses are closed. While Rodas was Walker’s financial adviser, the two had bonded over their shared love of fast cars. They co-owned an auto racing team named after Rodas’ shop, Always Evolving, and Rodas drove professionally on the team in the Pirelli World Challenge circuit in 2013.

NE Indiana making progress but more work is needed BY BARRY ROCHFORD brochford@kpcmedia.com
FORT WAYNE — Efforts to bolster the northeast Indiana economy are being backed up by data that suggest the region is making strides compared to other parts of the country. But the hard work is far from over. The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership held a “State of the Region� event Tuesday at The Summit in Fort Wayne, where representatives of the partnership and the Community Research Institute at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne discussed the findings of two reports that track a decade’s worth of economic data. One report, which the partnership has taken to calling a “dashboard,� compares the 10-county region to 14 roughly similar areas in the Midwest, South and Great Plains and gauges how it’s faring compared to them. The other report focused solely on northeast Indiana’s largest industry sector: manufacturing. Coincidentally, in the days leading up to the event, data released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that per-capita personal income in northeast Indiana rose 5 percent in 2012, which was faster than the nation’s 3.4-percent growth rate. That’s significant because per-capita income has been singled out as an economic bellwether for the region by those charged to aid in its development. “That’s what the whole shebang is about,� said Katy Silliman, vice president of regional initiatives at the partnership, at the “State of the Region� event. In 2009, per-capita income in northeast Indiana was 79 percent of the national average. With the gain in 2012, the disparity lessened; per-capita income in the region was 81.2 percent of the national average. “We’re not done until we’re at 100 percent or surpassing it,� Silliman said. Maintaining that rate of growth will be important
“We’re not done until we’re at 100 percent

RV sales expected to top 300,000 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — RV manufacturers expect to pass another milestone in their steady recovery from the recession that landed the industry in a deep ditch. Led by sales growth for towable RVs and pricier stand-alone motor homes, recreational vehicle makers expect to ship more than 300,000 units to dealers’ lots this year for the first time since the economic downturn battered the industry in 2008 and 2009. Indiana is the manufacturing pacesetter, accounting for 83 percent of RV production in 2012. Oregon, California, Iowa and Michigan were next, each with a sliver of output.
Backers see hope for Sunday alcohol sales this session INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Supporters of ending Indiana’s longtime ban on Sunday retail alcohol sales are hoping a change in leadership of a key legislative committee has improved their chances of success. That change is the appointment of Republican Rep. Tom Dermody, R-LaPorte as chairman of the House Public Policy Committee following the resignation of previous chairman Rep. Bill Davis of Portland. Davis resigned from the Legislature last month to accept Gov. Mike Pence’s appointment as director of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs. That House committee held a hearing during this year’s legislative session on lifting the Sunday ban, but Davis refused to bring it up for a vote.

BUTLER — A Butler man who reportedly intended to scare his daughter as he arrived to pick her up at school is in custody after Eastside Junior-Senior High School was placed on lockdown Tuesday afternoon. Chad J. Czaja, 34, of the 200 block of Park Lane, was arrested along East Green Street, directly in front of the high school. At 3:19 p.m., police received a report of a man dressed in camouflage clothing and possessing a

various considerations. Several times, they referred to their experiences from an early June fire at Lakeland Nursing and Rehabilitation, which displaced 64 residents and brought massive manpower to Williams Street in Angola late on a Friday night. In the school scenario, it was suggested that Maumee Street be shut off and a Level 2 staging area temporarily set up in the road. Because of the proposed direction of the wind, Ryan Park Elementary School would be the first temporary shelter for displaced students and faculty. Angola Middle School, next to the high school, would probably also be evacuated, with about 1,000 more people to corral. DeKalb County Emergency Management would likely be called along with fire departments and police agencies from throughout the tri-state area.

potential improvement. One of the weaknesses in Steuben County is communication, as there are three different communications systems in use — VHF, 800 MHz and OpenSky. Steuben County Chief Deputy John Gonya suggested a written policy on what channels should be used when many different agencies are working at the same scene. One of the strengths is the familiarity between the emergency responders in Steuben County. “Everybody loves our community and we’re trying to protect it,� said Angola firefighter Brian Bowden. He said the area’s emergency responders are well prepared. “They all kick in and work together very well,� said Gonya. Rick Dolsen, a district representative from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, said Steuben County Emergency Management has done exceptional work coordinating its assets. “It’s one of the stronger I’ve seen,� he said.

coverage is scheduled to take effect. The troubled rollout of the insurance exchanges has contributed to a drop in Obama’s overall job approval rating, while also emboldening Republicans and putting Democratic lawmakers facing re-election on edge. White House officials say that with the worst of the website problems behind them, the president will return to a familiar political argument: criticizing Republicans for opposing the “Obamacare� law without providing their own ideas for solving national health care woes. “They sure haven’t presented an alternative,� Obama said. “You’ve got to tell us specifically what you’d do.�
Despite the website troubles, the White House says it is buoyed by high online traffic. On Monday, officials said, the site received about 1 million visitors, though they would not detail how many of those had actually enrolled for insurance policies. Medicaid sign-ups are proceeding on a separate track. While subsidized private coverage is available to middle class people in all 50 states, the expanded version of Medicaid currently is provided only in states that agreed to accept it. So far 25 states and Washington, D.C., have done so. Tuesday’s report showed that states that expanded their Medicaid programs saw a nearly 16 percent increase in applications during October.

No. 4 Orange beat SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Trevor Cooney scored 21 points, Tyler Ennis added 17 points and eight assists, and No. 4 Syracuse beat Indiana 69-52 in the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge on Tuesday night. Syracuse (8-0) has won 46 straight nonconference games at home, and there was no love lost in this rematch from last season’s East Regional semifinal won handily by the Orange. Indiana was called for two flagrant fouls Tuesday, the second coming in the second half as the game was slipping away. Syracuse used a 25-4 surge to break open a tie game. The youthful Hoosiers (6-2) had only lost, 59-58, to No. 12 Connecticut at Madison Square Garden in the championship game of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project. After Indiana’s Noah Vonleh tied it at 33-all early in the second half, Syracuse went on a 12-0 run to begin to take command and incite the crowd in the Carrier Dome to a deafening roar. Dajuan Coleman started the run with a putback and Cooney followed with a steal and 3-pointer, then went 3 of 3 from line after being fouled on another 3-point attempt. C.J. Fair’s driving layup with 13:18 gave the Orange a 45-33 lead. Ennis had three steals during the spurt and the Orange forced the Hoosiers into a shot-clock violation as they could muster nothing offensively. Syracuse registered seven blocked shots, 10 steals and matched the nation’s top team on the glass with 29 rebounds and just

Pistons prevail in Miami MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Singler scored 18 points to lead seven Detroit players in double figures, Andre Drummond had 18 rebounds and the Pistons beat the Miami Heat 107-97 on Tuesday night to snap the NBA champions’ 10-game winning streak. Greg Monroe and Rodney Stuckey each scored 16 for Detroit, which got 15 apiece from Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings. The Pistons led by 18 before Miami got within three points in the fourth, but never trailed in the game’s final 47 minutes. Jennings sealed it with just over two minutes left, stealing the ball from LeBron James and setting up Monroe for an easy score. James and Michael Beasley each scored 23 for Miami. The Heat played without guard Dwyane
Wade, the All-Star sitting for the fourth time this season to rest a sore knee. Miami shot a season-low 44 percent. The Heat were down 11 when James re-entered the game with 7:58 left. Within 10 seconds, the lead was down to seven. Beasley scored while getting fouled, missed the free throw, and had the rebound tipped in by Chris Andersen to get Miami to 89-82. A dunk by James got Miami to 91-88 with 6:16 left, but the Pistons scored the next five and held on from there. Drummond finished with 10 points, as did Kentavious CaldwellPope. Chris Bosh scored 14 and Ray Allen added 12 for Miami. Drummond had more rebounds than any three Heat players combined, and the Pistons held a 46-34 edge on the boards.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Nick Foligno scored a highlightreel goal in the second period and Sergei Bobrovsky and Curtis McElhinney made it stand up as the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 1-0 on Tuesday night. Bobrovsky, winner of the Vezina Trophy last year as the NHL’s top goalie, stopped all 18 shots before he left with an unspecified injury 4:13 into the third period. He was replaced by McElhinney, who made the last eight saves. Tampa Bay’s Valterri Filppula’s shot just slid past the corner of the goal as time expired and the Lightning were shut out for the second game in a row. They have lost their last five road games. The game was played before the smallest crowd of the year at Nationwide Arena — 10,223. Bobrovsky’s injury came on his most spectacular save of the night. The Lightning’s J.T. Brown took a stretch pass and was all alone behind the defense. He tried a high wrist shot and Bobrovsky gloved it, falling to the ice with his legs spread while his left leg jammed into the goal post. He was helped off the ice and was replaced by McElhinney. The Blue Jackets were content to just chip and chase the puck for the duration, but the Lightning still had chances. Nate Thompson unleashed a hard wrist shot while moving in from the right wing with 6½ minutes left but McElhinney made the stop. The crowd booed with 4:46 left when Jack Johnson was called for tripping. Reviews clearly showed that Ondrej Palat fell down without anyone coming close to him. But the Blue Jackets killed that penalty. With just over a minute left, Martin St. Louis lifted a backhand shot that McElhinney smothered. Then came Filppula’s close call at the end. If Bobrovsky is sidelined for very long, it will be a daunting problem for the Blue Jackets. Their top scoring threat, Marian Gaborik, is still a couple of weeks away after spraining a knee, while big offseason free-agent signing Nathan Horton is maybe a month from playing his first games in a Columbus sweater after shoulder surgery. Outshot 10-4 in the scoreless opening period, the Blue Jackets broke through on a nifty combination of plays in the second. Ryan Johansen flicked the puck away from Filpppula in the offensive zone, then fed Foligno who was all alone swooping in on goalie Ben Bishop. Foligno slid the puck back through his legs and then backhanded it past Bishop for his seventh goal at the 4:30 mark.

goal percentage defense (35.1) and the Orange shot 51.1 percent (24 of 47). Indiana, which trailed 10-0 to start the game, went on a 15-5 run over a span of about 3 minutes late in the opening half.
MSU’s Dantonio has ‘no issues’ with Ohio State EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Mark Dantonio wants to make it abundantly clear there is no lingering animosity between him and the coaching staff at Ohio State. “There are no issues,” Dantonio said Tuesday. “A lot of times I think it’s the media bringing up things that happened two years ago that are trying to create that.” Still, the matchup is an intriguing one. Dantonio’s 10th-ranked Spartans take on the secondranked Buckeyes on Saturday night in a Big Ten championship game full of story lines. Dantonio was an assistant at Ohio State under Jim Tressel when the Buckeyes had their national title season in 2002. Now he’s standing in the way of a different Ohio State staff that is on the verge of playing for a national championship. Michigan State hasn’t played in the Rose Bowl since 1988, but the Spartans (11-1) have a chance to end that drought with a win this weekend. Dantonio is even acknowledging the far-fetched possibility that the team he coaches could work its way into the BCS championship discussion this year. “When we — or however you want to put this — if we’re 12-1 at the end of the week, why not us?” Dantonio said. “If certain scenarios take place, which obviously, last week you saw a lot of scenarios take place. There are no givens in college
football.” Dantonio did say he thought the Buckeyes (12-0) should play for the national title if they beat Michigan State, and there was no real hint of any tension between him and the school where he once coached. Dantonio is from Zanesville, Ohio, and he was an assistant at Ohio State before taking over as the head coach at Cincinnati before the 2004 season. He later moved on to Michigan State. Tressel remained in charge at Ohio State until he was forced out before the 2011 season amid a memorabilia-for-cash scandal. Urban Meyer eventually took over the Buckeyes, and they haven’t lost since, winning 24 straight games over the last two seasons. Meyer’s aggressive reputation from his days at Florida immediately drew attention throughout the Big Ten, where “flipping” recruits suddenly became a major topic. Dantonio was asked about that on signing day in 2012 and said he thought it was “pretty unethical” to aggressively pursue verbal commitments from other programs. Dantonio was speaking generically — and released a statement a couple days later insisting he wasn’t directing his comments at any school in particular. Last season, after Ohio State’s 17-16 win in East Lansing, Michigan State complained that the Buckeyes had sent “incomplete” video
before the game. Spartans defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi told the Detroit Free Press that Ohio State had deleted pre-snap motions and shifts before plays on video of its first four games that season. Narduzzi indicated that the Spartans had complained to the league, although Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said he and Gene Smith, his counterpart at Ohio State, had settled the issue. Dantonio wasn’t about to dwell on any of that Tuesday. “All that is resolved to my satisfaction,” Dantonio said. “I think coaches are very competitive people by nature, and they’re going to try and win, and they want to try and get every single little bit of information that they can. But yeah, there’s no issues. There’s no issues. “I have some very, very good friends that are on Ohio State’s staff.” As for this week’s controversy of the moment — whether Buckeyes offensive lineman Marcus Hall should be suspended for Saturday’s title game after being ejected against Michigan last weekend — the Spartans weren’t about to cry foul. “I’m excited that no one is suspended,” Michigan State linebacker Max Bullough said. “I hope no one does get suspended. I want to play their best. I think if we were in that same situation they’d say the same.”
Ellsbury to join Yankees NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says the New York Yankees were working toward an agreement with outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million. Ellsbury, who helped Boston win the World Series this year, would be the second major free-agent addition
in the Yankees’ offseason rebuilding. He was to take a physical in New York on Wednesday, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. New York had not yet finalized any deal with Ellsbury, a second person familiar with the talks said Tuesday night, also
speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. The Yankees also had been negotiating with Shin-Soo Choo, who like Ellsbury is represented by agent Scott Boras. Earlier Tuesday, New York finalized an $85 million, five-year contract with catcher Brian McCann.

OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — Will Felder scored 26 points, Will Sullivan added 23 and Miami (Ohio) comes back from a 16-point halftime deficit to win its first game of the season, 94-87 over Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne Tuesday night. Felder made a pair of free throws to pull Miami within seven with 14:04 remaining.
Felder and Sullivan would then go score Miami’s next 28 points, capped by Felder’s jumper, giving the RedHawks their first lead, 81-80. Joe Edward’s jumper gave IPFW (6-4) its final lead, 87-85, with 1:21 remaining. Geovonie McKnight answered with a 3-pointer, giving the lead
back to the RedHawks, 88-87. Joshua Oswald, McKnight, and Felder combined for 6-of-6 shooting from the line to cap the scoring for Miami. IPFW missed a layup and two 3-pointers in the final minute. Michael Kibiloski scored 17 points to lead five Mastodons in double figures.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Big Ten hands out grid awards CHICAGO (AP) — Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. Miller has averaged 265 yards of total offense and accounted for 29 total touchdowns while leading Ohio State to a 12-0 record despite a knee injury early in the season. The Buckeyes will play Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday. Wisconsin’s Chris Borland was announced as the Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday and Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg as Freshman of the Year. Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio was selected Coach of the Year by both the coaches and media after leading the Spartans to an 11-1 record — 8-0 in conference play — and the Legends Division crown.
Rays, Reds, Arizona make deal ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Catcher Ryan Hanigan and reliever Heath Smith are eager to try to help the Tampa Bay Rays get back to the playoffs. Hanigan was acquired from the Cincinnati Reds and Bell from the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of a three-team trade Tuesday. The deal was announced after Hanigan agreed to a $10.75 million, three-year contract that runs through 2016 and includes a club option for 2017. Tampa Bay sent minor league pitcher Justin Choate and a player to be named to the Diamondbacks. Arizona dealt left-hander David Holmberg to Cincinnati. Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman called a Hanigan “a tremendously talented defensive catcher” who can also help the Rays offensively. “He takes a lot of pride in what he does behind the plate and we also like what he can do in the batter’s box, especially against left-handed pitching,” Friedman said. “He’s a guy we’ve had our eye on for a while. and so when we had the opportunity to acquire him, we were aggressive to do so.” Hanigan, 33, is expected to become Tampa Bay’s primary catcher, even though he and Friedman said they won’t head into spring training with a preconceived notion. The trade was completed a day after free agent catcher Jose Molina was re-signed to a $4.5 million, two-year contract. Bell will be a candidate to become the Rays’ closer — a job held the past two seasons by Fernando Rodney, who is a free agent.
Tomlin sorry for sideline issue PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has plenty of words to describe his ill-timed foray onto the field last week against Baltimore. Intentional is not one of them. Tomlin apologized at length Tuesday for nearly interfering with Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones in the third quarter of a 22-20 Baltimore victory on Thanksgiving night, calling it “embarrassing, inexcusable, illegal, a blunder.” “There are repercussions of a blunder of that nature and I embrace it,” he said. “With my position comes the charge of preserving and protecting the game of football. … I think my biggest error on Thursday night is not realizing that play jeopardized the game from an integrity standpoint.” Tomlin was standing at the Pittsburgh 35, as is his custom, when the Steelers kicked off after a touchdown that drew them within six points of the Ravens. As the ball settled into Jones’ hands, Tomlin turned his attention to one of the videoboards at M&T Stadium to get a better perspective of the play as it unfolded. He stepped onto a strip of turf painted white that is meant to serve as a barrier between the field of play and the sideline. Jones raced through a hole and down the Steelers sideline while Pittsburgh’s Cortez Allen gave chase. Tomlin didn’t move even as Jones closed in — mostly, he said, because he was “mesmerized” by what was happening on the screen. “I saw myself come into the Jumbotron, it’s a frightening experience,” Tomlin said. Tomlin was not flagged on the play, and he pointed out after the game that standing in the white area was commonplace for coaches even if it was technically against the rules. He didn’t use that as an excuse while communicating with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league officials Monday. Tomlin said he had no plans to fight whatever disciplinary action the league decides to hand out.
QB Mariota to return to Oregon EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Quarterback Marcus Mariota has announced that he will return to Oregon for his junior season. There had been speculation that Mariota might declare himself eligible for the NFL. Following Oregon’s 36-35 victory over Oregon State in the Civil War last Friday, he said he hadn’t yet made a decision. But on Tuesday the school announced on its website that Mariota would stay, along with junior Hroniss Grasu, a three-year starter at center. “It is an honor to be a student at the University of Oregon and to have the opportunity to represent our institution on the football field alongside my teammates,” Mariota said in a statement. “I look forward to earning my degree next year and to the rest of my career at this great University.”

Sweat equity So this is what sweat equity looks like — a black, fiendish-looking car fit for, well, Batman. The man behind the design for the Caped Crusader’s ride in the movie “Batman Returns” is Carl Casper of Louisville. Casper, a car designer extraordinaire, was in Auburn over the weekend to take part in a special charity fundraiser at the National Military History Center to benefit northeastern Indiana military veterans and their families. Casper won his first nationwide car show in 1961 with a Chevy he’d purchased for $300. This year, he was offered $1 million for that same car, but turned it down, saying the car wasn’t for sale. Known for his artistic MATT genius and attention to detail, Casper also is GETTS involved in designing dragsters and restoring antique carriages. A good sampling of his work can be found at the National Military History Center. Casper was so successful at car shows that he retired from them. He eventually retired from competing in restoration shows for carriages, too. The top national honor for carriage restoration carries his name. A man who worked for a decade in Hollywood? A man who can turn down $1 million for a car? A man considered a genius in his field? You wouldn’t know it from talking to him. He’s as down-to-earth as anyone you’re likely to meet. Brag on himself or his accomplishments? It’s not his style. “I really like to let my work do the talking,” Casper said. His style, obviously is all class. And while downplaying his own genius, Casper will talk about what he refers as the sweat equity that has gone into his career. Casper said he has gone for days without eating or sleeping while working on a project. That’s what sweat equity is, folks, and it may be the most important thing our kids aren’t learning today. Sweat equity is not relying on a great idea to somehow materialize, it’s following through on that idea, no matter how long it takes. Sweat equity, or the lack thereof, may be the difference between the dreamers and those who get things done. Sweat equity is falling and never failing to get back up. Sweat equity is doing it right. Not the fastest way. Not the least expensive way. But doing it right, each and every time. That’s what Casper has built his career around — sweat equity. He said he got his work ethic from his upbringing. He lied about his age to get his first job delivering newspapers in Flint, Mich. He spent part of his life on a farm, which meant delivering papers, then doing farm chores, then going to school. By the time he was 17, he held down three jobs, working on the assembly line for General Motors, at an auto body shop and for an upholstery firm. Working hard became a way of life. But as Casper tells it, he hasn’t worked a day in his life because he has enjoyed what he’s doing. That’s the key, he said, to make your passion your vocation. Throw in some genius and sweat equity, and you have a life well-lived. As his appearance in Auburn attests, Casper is big on charitable work, as well. The church charity he is affiliated with at home in Kentucky served approximately 108,000 meals over the Thanksgiving holiday. His heart is as big as his talent. And he works at both with vigor. A self-made man, well-made. That’s what sweat equity produces.

Despite the seeming inevitability of these trends, many Americans wish it weren’t so. A recent HuffPost/YouGov poll found bipartisan aversion to stores opening on Thanksgiving — 65 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of independents say stores should be closed. Yet as Forbes points out, stores wouldn’t open if there were no demand. When the National Retail Federation asked consumers why they want to shop early, most said it was to spread out their gift budgets or to take advantage of deals too good to pass up. Virtue is in the details, I suppose. According to Accenture’s annual shopping survey, 38 percent of respondents planned to visit four or more stores on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, and more than one-third said they’ll shop before midnight Thursday.

In the scheme of things, this sense of loss is perhaps undeserving of lamentations, but bowing to commercial greed, especially on our national day of thanks, seems a crime against one of our best founding inventions. If stores erect a sale, they will come. But stores don’t have to. Here’s a revolutionary concept: Instead, why not demonstrate gratitude for our nation by urging its people to spend time with their families, surely the most valuable insurance for a stable future. Profits may take a short holiday, but the reward of living in a culture that values human connection and appreciates, in Washington’s words from the proclamation, “the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed” — is beyond measure.

Vatican says local bishops responsible for children’s safety VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican on Tuesday dodged a series of questions posed by a U.N. committee about clerical sexual abuse by noting that the Holy See doesn’t control the actions of every Catholic in the world, much less regulate every Catholic priest, parish or school. Rather, the Vatican asserted that local bishops are ultimately responsible for keeping children safe from pedophile priests, and that schools and workhouses where abuse occurred in Ireland and elsewhere are subject to local civil laws and regulations, not Vatican jurisdiction. The Vatican’s position was laid out in a response to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child about its implementation of the 1989 U.N. Convention of the Rights of the Child, the main U.N. treaty guaranteeing a full range of human rights for children. The Holy See ratified the convention in 1990 and submitted a first implementation report in 1994. But it didn’t provide progress reports for nearly a decade, and only submitted one last year after coming under renewed pressure following the 2010 explosion of child sex abuse cases in Europe and beyond. The U.N. committee posed a series of questions about the 2012 progress report and will grill the Vatican delegation in person at a committee hearing in Geneva on Jan. 16.
OJ taking case to Nevada high court LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson’s lawyers said Tuesday they will take his case back to the Nevada Supreme Court, hoping justices will overturn a lower court judge’s decision last week denying the former football star a new trial in his armed robbery case. A notice mailed Monday to the state high court gives Simpson’s new legal team until Jan. 13 to file documents supporting their claim that Simpson didn’t receive a fair trial and challenging the recent ruling by Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell, Simpson appeals attorney Patricia Palm said. “We remain convinced there were errors,” Palm said. Bell’s ruling means Simpson, 66, isn’t eligible for parole until he’s at least 70. Palm and attorneys Ozzie Fumo and Tom Pitaro failed to convince Bell that Simpson received ineffective representation from lawyer Yale Galanter, who headed Simpson’s 2008 trial team and his initial appeal.
People • Billy Joel plans shows at Garden NEW YORK (AP) — Billy Joel will perform once a month at Madison Square Garden — as long as the fans will have him. The Grammy Award-winning icon announced Tuesday that he’ll perform a residency at the famed NYC venue every month for as long as New Yorkers Joel demand. He’s set to perform sold-out shows on Jan. 27, Feb. 3, March 21 and April 28. He will also perform on his 65th birthday, which is May 9. Tickets go on sale Saturday. “We’re gonna dust off some stuff. We’re gonna feature more of the album tracks, more obscure songs. We’ll still do some songs people are familiar with and like, but we’re gonna change it up. It gives you an edge,” he said in an interview after the press conference.

Metro North Railroad engineer William Rockefeller is wheeled on a stretcher away from the area where the commuter
train he was operating derailed in the Bronx borough of New York Sunday.
Engineer nodded off just before train derailment YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) — The engineer whose speeding commuter train ran off the rails along a curve, killing four people, nodded at the controls just before the wreck, and by the time he caught himself it was too late, a union official said Tuesday. William Rockefeller “basically nodded,” said Anthony Bottalico, leader of the rail employees union, relating what he said the engineer told him. “He had the equivalent of what we all have when we drive a car. That is, you sometimes have a momentary nod or whatever that might be. How long that lasts, I can’t answer that.” Rockefeller’s lawyer did not return calls. During a late-afternoon news conference, federal investigators said they were still talking to Rockefeller, and they would not comment on his
level of alertness around the time of the Sunday morning wreck in the Bronx. Separately, however, two law enforcement officials said the engineer told police at the scene that his mind was wandering before he realized the train was in trouble, and by then it was too late to do anything about it. One of the officials said Rockefeller described himself as being “in a daze” before the wreck. The officials, who were briefed on the engineer’s comments, weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Questions about Rockefeller’s role mounted rapidly after investigators disclosed on Monday that the Metro-North Railroad train jumped the tracks after going into a curve at 82 mph, or nearly three times
the 30 mph speed limit. In addition to the four people killed, dozens were hurt. “He caught himself, but he caught himself too late. … He powered down, he put the train in emergency, but that was six seconds prior to derailment,” Bottalico said. Rockefeller, who was operating the train from the front car, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released. National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener repeated that it was too soon to say whether the accident was caused by human error. But he said investigators have found no problems so far with the brakes or signals. Alcohol tests on the train’s crew members were negative, and investigators were still awaiting the results of drug tests, the NTSB official said.
Vet detained in North Korea led feared guerrillas SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Six decades before he went to North Korea as a curious tourist, Merrill Newman supervised a group of South Korean guerrillas during the Korean War who were perhaps the most hated and feared fighters in the North, former members of the group say. Some of those guerrillas, interviewed this week by The Associated Press, remember Newman as a handsome, thin American lieutenant who got them rice, clothes and weapons during the later stages of the 1950-53 war, but largely left the fighting to them. North Korea apparently remembered him, too. The 85-year-old war veteran has been detained in Pyongyang since being forced off a plane set to leave the country Oct. 26 after a 10-day trip. He appeared this weekend on North Korean state TV apologizing for alleged wartime crimes in what was widely seen as a coerced statement. “Why did he go to North Korea?” asked Park Boo Seo, a former member of the Kuwol partisan unit, which is still loathed in Pyongyang and glorified in Seoul for the damage it inflicted on the North during the war. “The North Koreans still gnash their teeth at the Kuwol unit.” Park and several other former guerrillas said they recognized Newman from his past visits to Seoul in 2003 and 2010 — when they ate raw fish and drank soju, Korean liquor — and from the TV footage, which was also broadcast in South Korea. Newman was scheduled to visit South Korea
Fulgoni said in a statement Tuesday. “While it’s true that many retailers are bleeding their Cyber Monday promotions into the weekend before and the days afterward, Cyber Monday itself continues to be the most important day of the online holiday shopping season.” However, he did say that early promotions had some consumers buying more items earlier in the weekend, suggesting that Cyber Monday could have even been stronger were it not for the emergence of this trend. Consumer electronics and video game consoles and accessories were among the biggest sellers of the day. Home and garden products, clothing and accessories, as well as sports and fitness products also performed well. ComScore tracks U.S. online sales based on observed behavior of a representative U.S. consumer panel of 1 million Web users. One big online shopping trend so far this year is shoppers researching and buying on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, said Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru. “There was an enormous lift in the number of people who use mobile devices, and it’s been trending that way for the last couple of weeks,” she said. Forrester forecasts $78.7 billion in U.S. online sales this holiday season, a 15 percent increase over 2012. Meanwhile, IBM Benchmark reported on Tuesday that Cyber Monday sales rose 20.6 percent. IBM Benchmark takes sales results from over 500 online retailers and analyzes the data to estimate total online spending.
NEW YORK (AP) — Cyber Monday is still on top. Retailers from Walmart Stores to Amazon started rolling out “Cyber” deals at the beginning of November, and kept them going on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. That led some to wonder if earlier sales would put a dent in Cyber Monday sales. The date has been the biggest online shopping day of the year since 2010. But shoppers delivered. In fact, shoppers bought online at the heaviest rate ever Monday, according to research firm comScore Inc., which tracks online sales. The group said Tuesday e-commerce spending rose 18 percent from last year’s Cyber Monday to $1.74 billion, making Monday the top online spending day since comScore began tracking the data in 2001. The figure does not include purchases from mobile devices. “I always wait for the deals on Cyber Monday,” said Stephanie Appiah, 25, a student who picked up a Google Chromecast video streamer with free shipping on Monday. “It’s better than Black Friday because you don’t have to deal with other people.” The strong online performance was in contrast to overall spending. Over the four days beginning on Thanksgiving, spending fell an estimated 2.9 percent to $57.4 billion, according to the trade group the National Retail Federation. Overall, the NRF expects holiday spending to rise 2.9 percent to $602.1 billion. “Any notion that Cyber Monday is declining in importance appears to be completely unfounded,” comScore Chairman Gian

Park said about 30 elderly former guerrillas, some carrying bouquets of flowers, waited in vain for several hours for him at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, on Oct. 27 before news of his detention was released. Newman has yet to tell his side of the story, aside from the televised statement, and his family hasn’t responded to requests for comment on his wartime activities. Jeffrey Newman has previously said that his father, an avid traveler and retired finance executive from California, had always wanted to return to the country where he fought during the Korean War.

Winter coats, holiday photos are for pets too
Today
BY ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ
Some of us put a present for the cat or dog under the tree. I do. It’s usually a fun squeaky toy. I once gave them food treats but that turned out to be a mistake. Read between the lines on that one. Sharla has short hair and Jetstream is a typical greyhound with very low body fat. In the early spring and fall, they consider the fleece jackets essential for any proper outing, and anticipate the annual winter upgrade to an insulated coat. Potsy has arthritis, and Syd is getting old. They have enough fur and body fat, but exposure to the cold generates hours of aching for them both so they are fans of dog coats, as well. Marvel, a fine tabby, laughed herself silly when she first saw the dog wearing boots for his walk, but when he returned all happy, warm and clean, she began to imagine how nice it would be to avoid the irritating salt, icy filthy slush and fine pinching gravel between her toes when she went out. Virginia’s coat is dense, curly, long and thick. When she gets wet it takes her a day to dry all the way down. Comments of smelling like a wet dog make no sense to Virginia, but she knows she’s ostracized and banned from the sofa, carpet and bed until she dries. Virginia’s mother never taught her about raincoats, but Virginia is a practical dog who understands that the words “wet� and “walk,� were not ordinarily good when said together. So she held still when her owner wrapped this weird plastic raincoat thing around her. When she came back nice and dry from her rainy day walk, there was no banishment to the laundry room and no yelling for shaking all over the kitchen floor. Raincoats are good things to Virginia. Billy stomped about the little stand of trees near the indoor house where his humans lived, cussing in cat that the raccoon who had taken over Billy’s outdoor place could fall out of the top of a very tall tree for all Billy cared. It was cold and there was no guarantee he’d find the shed door open tonight and even less chances of finding the neighbor’s car parked outside so he could crawl under it. He liked being outside but a guy needed a place to warm up, take a nap, maybe eat the mouse he’d been tracking. Please don’t assume that there is some cat fairy

godmother that provides outdoor kitties a warm and dry winter home. Where do they drink when the water’s frozen? Are there enough small animals to eat? You might need to give them a hand with food and water when the weather is fierce and hunting times are hard. Give them a guaranteed place to sleep. An igloo style pet house raised up on blocks with the entrance protected from the wind is a nice Christmas gift for your outside cat. I know someone who made a good outdoor cat home from straw and an old cooler (they removed the lid for safety). Shoebox-size containers and climbing towers imitate dens and trees, and make indoor cats feel private and secure. Indoor
cats love to hunt, too, so toys that imitate the movement of mice and birds are wonderfully fun. Are you going to include your cat and dog in your family Christmas card photo? Do you like candid photos of your pets on the holidays? Animal retinas have a different structure than human’s eyes. Human’s retinas show zombie red with a direct flash and our pets eyes glow alien lime green. The red eye fixer on digital cameras won’t work on your pet’s eerie green eyes. You have to use a high-speed professional camera or avoid a photo directly into their eyes. Position someone close to the side of the cameraman to attract your pet’s attention with a soft intriguing noise. Don’t call their name or they may get

up and go to that person. As the animal looks off center at the fun noise, the humans in the photo look just a tiny fraction off center and smile for the camera. Assuming all the kids are behaving and no one is making inappropriate gestures, the family plus animal photo should look somewhat normal, as our human brains don’t expect animals to make direct eye contact with us. Babies and animals are best photographed quickly. For a posed formal family photo with your pet, set up a low stimulation corner of your home with the background and seating you want. Check the camera for light, distance, etc. Take your pet into it and play with them quietly or pet them until they relax. The purpose is to get him into a good mood. Then add people — ones your pet knows well or he may bolt. Keep things calm and add the camera. If that doesn’t work and your pet wiggles away, wait awhile and try again,
this time positioning the people and camera before you bring in the pet. Be prepared to do the whole thing quickly. If chaos reigns, just throw up your hands and laugh and get some great candid shots of the cat climbing over the head of the guy wearing the Santa hat, or the dog tackling their owner and tipping them over. If your home could use another pet to make your holiday complete, the great cats and dogs of the Steuben County Humane Society are lining up to volunteer! Visit us in person or online. Some people are hard to buy for, and a donation to the shelter in their name is a wonderful gift. We know we’re not the only worthy charity in Steuben County but if you do any year-end giving we hope you’ll consider us. ANNETTE KLEINHENZ is a
member of the Steuben County Humane Society Board of Directors.

Woman needs to cut losses in relationship DEAR ABBY: I have been with my fiance since 2006. We expected to be married in 2008, but my grandmother died a month before my wedding, and then he was arrested because of charges stemming from a sexual relationship he’d had with a 17-year-old girl he had been counseling. Since then, we have had a daughter, but through it all there has been cheating, drugs, jail, no job, and constant excuses about why our sex life no longer exists. We have also had physical altercations, which he was arrested for. I am no longer happy with this relationship. The only reason I stay is because of our children. I’m only 33 and don’t want to live my life in misery anymore, but I will sacrifice my happiness for my children. I am confused and don’t know what to do. I’m just going

You’ve probably noticed the puffiness and dark circles when you first get up in the morning. That’s because when you are lying down, gravity is not pulling fluid in your tissues and blood in your veins downward into the cheeks below your eyes. There’s some folk and spa wisdom about how to get rid of bags, puffiness and dark circles: wet, cool tea bags; cotton balls dipped in rose water; and, of course, the iconic cucumber slices. Many of my patients find that under-eye creams and ointments help reduce the puffiness on awakening. Finally, there’s always cosmetic surgery if these treatments are not helping you enough. In some cases there may be an underlying cause you can treat. Nasal congestion is an example, as it causes veins around the eyes to dilate. Treating the cause of the congestion (an allergy,

DEAR DOCTOR K: Why do I have bags, puffiness and dark circles around my eyes? What can I do about it? DEAR READER: My Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Robert Shmerling wrote about this a couple of years ago in the Harvard Health Letter newsletter. Here’s some of what he said: Gently pinch the skin under your eyes and give it a little tug. You’ll feel that it’s a little looser and thinner than skin elsewhere. It’s also looser and thinner than it used to be. As we age, some of the fat under the skin of the face disappears. The fat under the skin beneath our eyes that we’re born with is like wind filling a sail. As the fat disappears, the skin under the eyes becomes like a sail without wind to fill it out. In addition, gravity when we’re sitting or standing (which is true
B7
perhaps) can make the dark circles go away. If your eyes have gotten noticeably puffier and the puffiness doesn’t go away, see a doctor. Puffy eyes can be a sign that you’re retaining fluid, which can be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Also talk to your doctor if your eyes got puffy after you started a new medication or facial cosmetic, or ate a new food. You may be having an allergic reaction. This column now is more than two years old. I am very grateful to my colleague Urmila Parlikar for finding information for me, to my colleagues at Harvard Medical School who give me advice, and for my excellent editors, Alan McDermott and Shena Wolf. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
