World mourning Mandela JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans erupted in song, dance and tears on Friday in public and emotional celebrations of the life of Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who bridged this country’s black-white divide and helped avert a race war. People of all colors hugged and shared emotional moments as anti-apartheid leaders like retired archbishop Desmond Tutu called for the 51 million South Africans to adhere to the values of unity and democracy that Mandela

embodied. The tributes to Mandela that came from people across the spectrum showed that he had affected people deeply. “What I liked most about Mandela was his forgiveness, his passion, his diversity, the impact of what he did,” said Ariel Sobel, a white man who was born in 1993, a year before Mandela was elected president. “I am not worried about what will happen next. We will continue as a nation. We knew this was coming. We are prepared.”

Sobel was with a crowd of people who had gathered at Mandela’s home in the leafy Johannesburg neighborhood of Houghton where Mandela spent his last sickly months. A dozen doves were released into the skies and people sang tribal songs, the national anthem, God Bless Africa — the anthem of the anti-apartheid struggle — and Christian hymns. Many wore traditional garb of Zulu, Xhosa and South Africa’s other ethnic groups. One carried a sign saying: “He will rule the

ANGOLA — Angola High School’s show choir is inviting the community to take a seat, enjoy some spaghetti and expect to be dazzled by the 2013 Christmas Spectacular Concert. The show is next Saturday, Dec. 14, at 6-7:30 p.m. in the Angola High School Commons. A spaghetti, meatball, salad and breadstick dinner costs $5. Seats are available by presale only online at ticketracker.com, or by calling the high school at 665-2186 and asking for Kim Wilson. There will also be a cookie walk, with all proceeds from the night going to the Angola Choir Boosters. The show will put a spotlight on the budding program and feature 150 youths from elementary to high school age singing and dancing, said director Colleen McNabb Everage. This is her second year teaching high school and middle school choir for the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County. They put on a spring show, sang at the Indiana State School Music Association jazz festival in April and have been very active during the holiday season — performing every Friday on Public Square for Go Angola, 5-8 p.m. Students

sign up for shifts, and Everage said they’ve been enthusiastic about singing Christmas carols downtown and performing at other community events. “We’d like to compete. Right now, we’re still trying to raise the money so we could purchase show choir uniforms,” said Everage. Formal attire is needed for show choir competitions, which Everage said are offered year-round. The girls would wear sequined dresses and the boys would wear suits. “People hear with their eyes, sometimes,” said Everage, an Auburn native who taught at Chicago public schools and toured as a jazz singer. She said she loves her job at MSD and has embraced the challenge of turning its choir program into a fun, glitzy show choir. To get it off the ground, around $3,000 is needed for clothing. The Steuben County Community Foundation’s Women’s Fund has donated $1,500 and Everage said the choir boosters are working steadily toward their goal. Spaghetti With Santa will give people a taste of the theatrical experience show choir can be. “It’s going to be fantastic,” said senior Anna Wilson. “Lots of little acts.” Along with the middle school choir, children from Ryan

The tears come too easily,” Themba Radebe, a 60-yearold who was filming the street celebration with his phone, told a SEE MANDELA, PAGE A6

Park and Hendry Park elementary schools will join in on “The Candy Cane Twist.” “They see how fun it is,” said Wilson. Matthew McHugh, a sophomore, said he’s enjoyed choir. He said its interesting how different skill levels are mixed together to put on a production. “It’s better than it’s ever been,” said junior Daisy Dallas. She said show choir at Angola High School has a lot of momentum and excitement behind it with solid goals to reach for. The class works hard, said Everage, to make the productions spectacular. A couple staff members — Dennis Gentry and Deb Blaz, along with Santa Claus — will appear at Spaghetti With Santa, and have practiced regularly with the students. The high school choir itself has 31 members, and there is a separate girls choir. There are a number of youths involved at the middle school level as well, said Everage. She said they have been working really hard and are starting to see the results. “They are getting so excited,” she said. The next community performance will be in May, titled “That ’70s Show.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market is proving surprisingly resilient. Solid job growth in November cut the U.S. unemployment rate to 7 percent, a five-year low. The robust gain suggested that the economy may have begun to accelerate. As more employers step up hiring, more people have money to spend to drive the economy. Employers added 203,000 jobs last month after adding 200,000 in October, the Labor Department said Friday. November’s job gain helped lower the unemployment rate from 7.3 percent in October. The economy has added a four-month average of 204,000 jobs from August through November, up sharply from 159,000 a month from April through July. “It’s hinting very, very strongly that the economy is starting to ramp up, that growth is getting better, that businesses are hiring,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. The job growth has also fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will scale back its economic stimulus when it meets later this month. It “gives the Fed all the evidence it needs to begin tapering its asset purchases at the next … meeting,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics. Stock investors were heartened by the news. The Dow Jones industrial average surged nearly 178 points in early afternoon trading. The unemployment rate has fallen nearly a full percentage point since the Fed began buying bonds in September 2012 and has reached 7 percent earlier than most analysts had expected. In June, Chairman Ben Bernanke had suggested that the Fed would end its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases after the unemployment rate reached 7 percent. The Fed’s bond purchases have been intended to keep borrowing rates low. Bernanke later backed away from the 7 percent target. He cautioned that the Fed would weigh numerous economic factors in any decision it makes about its bond purchases. Many economists still think the Fed won’t begin to cut back until January or later. While the Fed weighs its options, U.S. employers may finally be gaining enough SEE JOBLESS, PAGE A6

Winter hits hard in Indy, southern Indana INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two people were killed on treacherous roads and schools and businesses were closed as a storm that dumped ice and as much as 10 inches of snow on much of Indiana stretched into its second day Friday. State police responded to numerous accidents Friday that shut down a section of Interstate 70 west of Indianapolis and caused a late-morning backup

on Interstate 65 just south of the city, but no major injuries were reported. That was better news than Thursday night, when Mohammed A. Isse, 33, of Chicago, died when his car was struck by a tractortrailer whose driver lost control of his truck near Richmond. At the other end of the state, Karen Price, 51, of Brazil, Ind., died Thursday night in a multiple car crash near Terre Haute.

State police continued to urge motorists to use caution when traveling or to stay off roads entirely in southern Indiana, which received a second round of ice and snow Friday afternoon. The snowstorm hit Indianapolis at a busy time. Thousands of Ohio State and Michigan State fans were descending on the city for two days of tailgating leading up to Saturday night’s Big Ten football championship game at

Lucas Oil Stadium. Randy Ackerman, 54, of Lima, Ohio, wasn’t fazed by the snow and didn’t think it would affect turnout, at least not for Buckeyes fans. “We’re die-hards. We travel well,” he said. “Heat or snow, we’re there.” Crews worked to make sure travelers had clear paths, whether they were heading to Indianapolis SEE WINTER, PAGE A6

Habitat, families sign partnerships

Trine planning annual gala

AUBURN — Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Indiana has approved four families as partners. The Habitat affiliate that serves DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties held an orientation session for the families earlier this fall. The families are Don Davis Sr. and Eva Davis of Butler, Patricia and Bruce Sampson of Garrett, Penelope McClish of Wolcottville and Barry and Beverly Harrington of Angola. They have signed partnerships with Habitat and will work on their “sweat equity” hours and financial classes.

Police Blotter • 2 incarcerated Thursday ANGOLA — The following people were arrested Thursday by law enforcement officers working in Steuben County and lodged in the Steuben County Jail. • Bruce E. Vanderpool Jr., 45, Angola, arrested in the 100 block of West Gale Street for misdemeanor disorderly conduct. • Denise Veeneman, 45, Wyoming, Mich., arrested on a warrant for felony theft.

Regional Brief • Arrested woman uses ID of husband’s ex FORT WAYNE — A woman arrested for shoplifting at a Fort Wayne Walmart identified herself as her husband’s ex-wife, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. The ex-wife was arrested when the real wife failed to show up for court. According to the affidavit for probable cause, on July 23, Wendy S. Lockridge, 33, of Fort Wayne, walked out of a Walmart with clothes, food and liquor without paying for the items. Police said Lockridge told a Walmart employee that her name was Amanda Cruse. A Fort Wayne Police Department officer took Lockridge to the Allen County Jail where she provided police with Cruse’s social security number and date of birth. Lockridge also signed multiple documents using the signature “Amanda Cruse.” When Lockridge failed to appear for her court date, a warrant was issued for Cruse’s arrest, and the real Amanda Cruse was arrested by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. The Allen County Sheriff’s Department faxed a photo of Lockridge to Wayne County and officers determined that Cruse and Lockridge were two different people.

Recent crackdown nets 131 seat belt tickets ANGOLA — Angola police officers working in cooperation with 10 other local police departments as part of the Tri-County Traffic Safety Partnership, took part in the recent Operation Pull Over, Blitz 77, a nationwide program aimed at getting impaired drivers off the road and citing people for seat belt violation. Twenty officers worked a total of 28 shifts during the blitz that ended on Dec. 1, issuing 131 tickets for seat

belt violations. One person was ticketed for violating the child restraint law, and 1 person was arrested and charged with Operating while Intoxicated. Five tickets were issued to people for driving while suspended, and police made 4 criminal misdemeanor arrests. Officers issued more than 100 people warnings during the blitz. The Tri-County Traffic Safety Partnership is comprised of officers from the Angola Police Depart-

ment, the Ashley Police Department, the Hudson Police Department, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department, the Auburn Police Department, the Butler Police Department, the Waterloo Police Department, the Garrett Police Department, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, and the Wolcottville Police Department. The partnership received funding to pay for the program through a grant administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.

ANGOLA — Plans are underway for Trine University’s biggest fundraising event of the year, and community members are invited to join. Trine’s 11th annual Black and White Scholarship Gala, which raises funds exclusively for scholarships, is scheduled for Feb. 8. Ninety-eight percent of Trine University students receive financial aid or scholarships, and this event serves as a primary funding source. Last year, the event set records with 365 people in attendance and more than $300,000 raised. The evening event includes hors d’oeuvres and dinner, live music and live and silent auctions with a range of items from travel getaways to sports memorabilia to designer handbags. “Trine University is always grateful for community members’ generous donations that make our gala so successful,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Trine president. “Such generosity makes it possible for Trine to award scholarships to our

deserving students, many of whom donate to the program after they graduate.” Another feature of the annual event is an opportunity for guests to sponsor a $500 Books and Beyond Scholarship. MTI Foundation is challenging donors by offering a matching grant of $50,000, $15,000 more than last year. Alumnus Rick L. James, chair of Trine’s Board of Trustees, and president and CEO of Metal Technologies Inc., and his wife, Vicki L. James, also offered the matching grant last year. Books and Beyond Scholarships are provided to deserving students who may use the money to purchase books, computers, school and lab supplies and meals. Funds also help students pay modest account balances to enable them to register for the next semester. Tickets to the gala cost $150 for couples and $75 for individuals. To donate to the silent auction or reserve tickets, contact the Office of Alumni and Development at alumni@trine.edu or 665-4114.

Flags at fly at half-staff in Indiana to honor Mandela INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence has ordered flags at Indiana state facilities to be flown at half-staff in tribute of Nelson Mandela and is asking businesses and residents to do so also to honor the world leader. The former South African president and the anti-apart-

heid icon died Thursday at the age of 95. Pence’s order follows an order by President Barack Obama that the U.S. flag be flown at half-staff at the White House, federal buildings, military bases and embassies until sunset Monday. Pence is asking those in Indiana to do the same.

Develop a compassionate heart “Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. — Micah 7: 18-19; ESV BY JOHN BOYANOWSKI

I was recently asked, “How do I learn to reach out to others and care about people without judging them?” I love questions like this because the answer is simple; however, responding to it or application of it is the difficulty. Permit me to explain … Using the passage above, I can explain how to reach out to others with care and compassion by following the method God himself uses. Let it first be understood that there is no one like our God; that is why it comes so easily for him and so difficult to us. It is his nature to be forgiving and compassionate towards us (his people). Because we belong to him, he does his very best for us. This does not mean he cares any less for those who are not his remnant; he loves those dearly as well. But those individuals have taken a path away from God. And when man does this, they face the consequences for their actions — a life without God. That is no life at all! There are three elements in this passage that if we

could all pick up on and live out, we could reach the masses for his glory and relieve ourselves of a great deal of heartache and pain. These are as follows: • Pardoning iniquity and passing over transgressions • Does not retain anger • Steadfast love Each of these elements are essential in developing a compassionate heart. Without any of these, it all falls apart and there can be no compassion. Just how do these work together to create a heart of compassion and one willing to reach out to others? Pardoning iniquity and passing over transgressions — to pardon someone, they must first be found guilty of a crime either by confession or by trial and conviction based upon the evidence before them. The pardon takes place after the verdict is reached and sentencing takes place. Spiritually speaking, each of us has been found guilty of sin. That sin leads to death. The book of Romans declares: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (6:23) Sin has a penalty: death. There is no change for it. However, God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, paid that price with his life. And because of his sacrifice, he has the right to pardon sin and pass over transgressions. And the fact that he did this for you and me, it should make us more thankful. It has changed our lives, right? If that action can transform our lives, it

is safe to say that as we mirror the life of Christ and pardon iniquities and transgressions against us will transform the lives of those who sin against us. Again, it is understood that when we pardon, we KNOW the crime has been committed (even against us). HOWEVER, when we live like Christ, we transform lives like Christ. Sure, they may not be worthy of such compassion and forgiveness, but then again, were we? Does not retain anger — How hard this is for man to accomplish! We love to hold grudges and harbor anger in our hearts! We joyfully condemn others when they are found guilty and hold things over their heads for life (and even death). We bask in our own righteousness while we watch those convicted get what they deserve. How can anybody live with themselves like this? Read Jonah 4 to see how it plays out. Who do your actions and thoughts mirror? (And be honest!) God understood the hearts and the thoughts of these people. God knew that this people did not know their right hand from their left. God could have easily let their sins convict them to death, but if they don’t know what sin is, how can they have a fair trial? And let’s say for discussion’s sake that they did know their sins; is their life any less important to God than our own? Not at all! As much as we want to (and try to) dictate to God whom he should and should not forgive, that call is not

ours to make. God wants NO ONE to perish at all! That is why he never holds his anger against us! His divine nature won’t allow it because his nature is love and mercy. This is not to say there is no penalty for sin, because there is. But there is also an escape from that if we choose it; that is ONLY through Jesus Christ! Steadfast love — Steadfast love is the key element in developing and maintaining a compassionate heart. Steadfast — a continuation of a maintained level or ever-increasing level of (in this case) love. The significance of this is that the love never decreases but always increases over time. God’s love NEVER decreases, even when we sin. That love allows God to grant mercy and forgiveness each of us. If we, as believers, could develop a steadfast love for one another, imagine the forgiveness we can offer on behalf of God! If the believer can develop these three traits into their spiritual journey, they will develop a compassionate heart which will help others to heal, grow, mature in faith, and to develop compassionate hearts within others. Father God, Please help me to have your compassionate heart. Begin the work in me, that I might be the fertile ground that it may grow in. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. THE REV. JOHN BOYANOWSKI

’Tis the season for anticipation BY TRACEY ZIMMERMAN

At church we are singing Christmas carols, lighting the Advent wreath, and getting ready to celebrate and remember the birth of Jesus. Advent means the arrival of a notable person or event — Christmas definitely qualifies as both, that is for sure. How are you preparing this season? Do you have a tree? Do you like to have lights all around? Do you light candles that have a special holiday scent? This weekend I watched a favorite flick for the 100th time, “Facing the Giants.” In this movie there is a guy that prays for the entire school, for the teachers, coaches, and especially for the football team. As the football coach is in his office dreading the day, the season, and more, the older gentlemen shares this story: Two farmers were facing drought. Both prayed daily to the Lord for rain. One farmer sat on his porch and watched the sky as he waited for rain. The other farmer prepared his fields and his livestock for rain, knowing that the Lord would provide. The man asked the coach the question, “Which one are you?” As we anticipate a new year and more are we preparing for blessings as if we know that they will come in 2014 or are we sitting on the porch just waiting for them like a package to be delivered? I, for one, am going to prepare for the arrival of blessings this year. I am going to prepare for rain even when I do not see it on the horizon because I know our Lord can and will provide. In John 14:2-4 (NASB) it says, “In my father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” See, too many times we want God to bless us but we do not see that he is. It might be that he has provided a job opportunity to help with tight funds. It might be that he has sent a difficult person in your life to weed out an area in character that you need to work on. It might be that he is expecting you to participate in the blessing. We not only need to remember him this season, we need to anticipate that he is preparing something amazing for us. We could sit around and try to imagine it or look to the horizon for signs of it OR we could be about his business every day. We can choose to study his word daily to make connections; we can choose to talk with him in prayer so as to be in relationship with him, all the while doing this because we know that he is preparing a place for us. We anticipate that it will be amazing, so let’s prepare the fields. O Lord — You know how easily we can be led astray, how we can lose focus on you and how we can anticipate a blessing but not get up and get going to receive it, and we need you to help us see that. Be with us and guide as anticipate our reunion with you. Amen. PASTOR TRACEY ZIMMERMAN serves the youth at Angola

Samaritan’s Purse efforts continue FREMONT — Butler, Fremont and Ligonier locals are making a difference in the lives of 33,550 needy children this Christmas with gift-filled shoeboxes.

Report: Central African death toll up to 280 BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Christian civilians fled by the thousands to the airport guarded by French forces in this chaotic capital Friday as the mostly Muslim armed fighters who have ruled the country since March hunted door-to-door for their enemies and the death toll from inter-communal violence increased to 280 people. Bodies lay decomposing along the roads in a capital too dangerous for many to collect the corpses. Thursday’s clashes marked the worst unrest in Bangui in nine months and raised fears that waves of retaliatory attacks could soon follow. “They are slaughtering us like chickens,” said Appolinaire Donoboy, a Christian whose family remained in hiding. France had pledged to increase its presence in its former colony well before Christian militias attacked the capital at dawn Thursday. The arrival of additional French troops and equipment came as the capital teetered on the brink of total anarchy and represented the greatest hope for many Central Africans. About 1,000 French forces were expected to be on the ground by Friday evening, a French defense official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter. As night fell across the near anarchic capital, Christians fearing retaliatory attacks by the mostly Muslim ex-rebels crowded as close to the runway as possible, laying out their woven mats in front of a barbed wire coiled fence. National radio announced that at least 280 people had died, citing figures from local Red Cross officials. The U.S. State Department said it was “deeply concerned” by the violence

and praised France’s quick intervention. France signaled its amped up presence in its former colony on Friday by sending out armored vehicles to patrol the streets. A French fighter jet made several flyovers, roaring through the sky over an otherwise lifeless capital as civilians cowered at home. Britain also flew in a C-17 plane Friday loaded with equipment to help with France’s intervention. As many as 250 French troops are carrying out permanent patrols in Bangui, and “we didn’t notice any direct clashes between armed groups today,” said French military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron in Paris. On Thursday, however, 10 armed attackers in a pickup truck fired on a French position at the airport, including with a rocket-propelled grenade whose charge did not

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty, an effort to spur development and investment in green energy while balancing its environmental consequences. The change, requested by the wind energy industry, will provide legal protection for the lifespan of wind farms and other projects for which companies obtain a permit and make efforts to avoid killing the birds. An investigation by The

Associated Press earlier this year documented the illegal killing of eagles around wind farms, the Obama administration’s reluctance to prosecute such cases and its willingness to help keep the scope of the eagle deaths secret. The White House has championed wind power, a pollutionfree energy intended to ease global warming, as a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan. In other areas, too, such as the government’s support for corn-based ethanol to reduce U.S. dependence on gasoline, the White House

detonate. French forces returned fire, killing four attackers and wounding six, Jaron said. A planned vote on a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday allowed France to proceed with its mission. It coincided with the worst violence to roil the capital since March when the mostly Muslim rebels known as Seleka overthrew the president of a decade. On Thursday, Christian militias believed to be loyal to ousted leader Francois Bozize attacked the city, and hours of gunbattles ensued. The conflict in one of Africa’s poorest countries has gathered little sustained international attention since the government overthrow in March, and the dramatic developments were overshadowed Friday by global mourning for South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who died at the age of 95.

“Thanks to France and the United Nations who want to save the Central Africans, soon the Seleka attacks on civilians will stop. We have had enough of Seleka killing, raping and stealing,” said Abel Nguerefara, who lives on the outskirts of Bangui. Streets in the city were empty Friday except for military vehicles and the trucks favored by the rebel forces who now claim control of the government. Nine unclaimed bodies lay sprawled in front of the parliament building alone — local Red Cross workers didn’t dare retrieve them, or other bodies that were left to decay outside. Despite the cheers that went up when a jet engine roared overhead, France insisted it was going only reluctantly into Central African Republic and with the limited aim of doubling its presence in the country to 1,200 troops.

has allowed the green industry to do not-so-green things. Another AP investigation recently showed that ethanol has proven far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today. Under the change announced Friday, companies would have to commit to take additional measures if they kill or injure more eagles than they have estimated they would, or if new information suggests that eagle populations are being affected. The permits would be reviewed every five years, and companies would have to submit reports of how many eagles they kill. Now such reporting is voluntarily, and the Interior Depart-

ment refuses to release the information. “This is not a program to kill eagles,” said John Anderson, the director of siting policy at the American Wind Energy Association. “This permit program is about conservation.” Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Though the blades appear to move slowly, they can reach speeds of up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornadolike vortexes. Flying eagles behave like drivers texting on their cellphones; they don’t look up. As they scan below for food, they don’t notice the industrial turbine blades until it is too late.

Where real charity comes from ’Tis the season for giving. But when you give, do you know your money will help someone? Social workers say, “Don’t give to beggars.” Those who do give are “enablers,” helping alcoholics and drug users to continue bad habits. It’s better to give to charities that help the “homeless.” I put “homeless” in quotes because my TV producers have quietly followed a dozen of the more convincing beggars after “work,” and all had homes. Once, I put on a fake beard and begged for an hour. At the rate money was coming in, I would have made 90 bucks in JOHN an eight-hour day — $23,000 per year, tax-free! I see why STOSSEL people panhandle. Their success, however, means that people who give them money, no matter how good their intentions, are not engaging in real charity. Giving may make you feel better, but it doesn’t make the world a better place. So where should we give? Charity-rating services try to separate good charities from scams, but I give to charities I can they get conned, too. watch. I donate to The The definition Doe Fund, a nonprofit of “charitable helping to rehabilitate work” is rarely clear. ex-convicts. I saw their How should “Men in Blue” working the board of a nonprofit’s near my apartment first-class — cheerfully and hotel expenses during a trip energetically. I thought, to Africa be “Whoever’s rehabbing classified? That’s these guys is doing why I give something right!” to charities I can watch. I donate to The Doe Fund, a nonprofit helping to rehabilitate ex-convicts. I saw their “Men in Blue” working near my apartment — cheerfully and energetically. I thought, “Whoever’s rehabbing these guys is doing something right!” So I give money to them — and to a couple other groups I can see. Finally, I give more to charity because I’m not much of an entrepreneur. I don’t have business-building skills. But for those who do, here’s a novel idea: Don’t give to charity. Years ago, Ted Turner was praised for donating a billion dollars to the United Nations. He said he wanted to “guilt” other billionaires into giving more and told me Warren Buffet was “cheap” for giving too little. At first, the idea makes sense. Billionaires have more than they need; merely chasing more profit seems selfish. But giving it a second thought, I found a fallacy in Turner’s argument. The U.N. is a wasteful bureaucracy, leading me to assume it squandered Turner’s gift. Buffet, meanwhile, continued to direct his investors’ money to growing companies. Based on Buffet’s stock-picking success, his investments were probably a more productive use of capital than Turner’s. Money went to people making better products, inventing better things, creating more jobs and so on. Maybe Buffet’s stock picks are now funding the next Bill Gates. Today, the real Gates spends his time giving money away. He’s unusually conscientious about it. He experiments, funding what works and dropping what doesn’t. His charity work saves lives. Good for him. But Gates was also unusually skilled at bringing people better software. Had he continued doing that at Microsoft, I bet the company would have been even more productive. And Gates would have done more for the world. I tried that thought experiment on Turner, who, in turn, unclipped his microphone and walked off the set. OK, so people who give away a billion dollars don’t want to hear skepticism about their gift. But there’s little doubt capitalism helps people more. Even rock star Bono from U2 has come to understand that. He used to call for more government spending on foreign aid. Now he says: “Aid is just a stopgap. Commerce, entrepreneurial capitalism take more people out of poverty.” Bingo. If Bono gets it, Turner should, too. I applaud those who give to charity, but let’s not forget that it’s capitalists (honest ones, not those who feed off government) who do the most for the poor. They do more good for the world than politicians — and more even than do-gooders working for charities.

Letter To The Editor • Only God can heal America To the editor: “United we stand, and divided we fall.” I was 16 years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and Roosevelt declared war against Japan, and a little later against Germany. Our nation was totally united to produce war machinery to defeat the enemies. No nation ever produced war materials as America did. We were so proud to be American. It seemed that all Americans loved each other and were totally united against all enemies of America. We have been through several wars since, but we are now a divided nation. Congress is divided, conservatives and liberals are divided. And it takes an earthquake or a tornado to get us to work together. The big divider started in 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled a mother had the right

to decide if her unborn child would live or die. Since then, millions of unwanted babies have been sacrificed. Mother Teresa said, “As long as mothers kill their babies, we will have violence in the streets.” Just read your daily paper and count the shootings, robberies, rapes, drunken drivers and drug abuse. God gives all life, and He says, “Thou shalt not kill.” It seem that God can be outvoted by those who trust the Supreme Court, instead of trusting God. Genesis I and John I tell us that God is our creator and all life is from God. David said, “Before I was in my mother’s womb, God knew me.” Some believe they can eventually prove God was not our creator. They spend billions in space travel going to the moon and other planets to bring back rocks, sand and dust, trying to find out where life started. God will tell them for

free if they will only believe God. There is one more great divider sweeping through America, and that is same-sex marriage. If you say marriage is one man and one woman only, some call you a “hate monger.” God unites one man and one woman and tells them, “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.” God rained fire on Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them because the men wanted men only. In the New Testament, Romans 1:26B-27, women burned in lust for women and men for men. God gave them over to vile passion. Those who believe God and his world cannot agree with those who do not. Only God can heal America, “one nation under God.” Ray Carter Auburn

Christmas activities culminate fun holiday season Abe and Kristin’s house empties out one at a time as we all take flights back home with a week of family memories tucked inside our travel bags. The trip is quickly made with a tail wind guiding the aircraft through skies of blue. My seatmate, Donna, has sad stories to tell me and I listen intently. She is going home to say good bye to her brother and make some decisions about her life. Donna is nervous and orders two small bottles of wine on this afternoon flight. As we descend into Fort Wayne the skies are as gray and foggy as a Sandburg poem. Donna is afraid of landing in the fog. Karen reaches over and takes her hand and tells her it will be fine. I offer her chocolate which she gladly takes. We land safely through the fog onto a runway of drizzle. What a contrast this is from the bright Arizona skies, I think to myself. We say farewell to Donna and wish her well as we leave the aircraft. We gather our bags and find the old Jeep in the parking lot. Everything and everyone barely fits, but we snuggle in for the ride home. I drop off Aaron and Karen and the boys knowing I will miss their company. With the deepening fog I pull into the House at White Picket Gardens. I am greeted by two rotten pumpkins on my front porch. I sigh and decide I will deal with them when they freeze. I park the Jeep and carry in my bags to a chilly empty house. I turn up the heat and put on the tea kettle. There is a forlorn Pilgrim on my dining room table. She looks a bit tired and out

of her element on this early December day. There are other Thanksgiving objects as well. There will be time to tuck away Thanksgiving and bring out the Christmas boxes, but in the dreary rain it does not feel like it. I do not have time to lament or miss family on this first night home. I quickly change and pull back out of the driveway to meet Colleen Holman. My headlights separate the fog from the road and we meet up. I take my first deep LOU ANN breath and get into Colleen’s HOMAN- car as we head toward Metz the annual Lady and SAYLOR for Lassie Christmas Party at the Metz Christian Church. As I walk in the door the spirit of Christmas is apparent in everything! The church basement is decorated for this Christmas party. It smells like my grandma’s church from long ago. I can even catch a glimpse of her arranging food and greeting folks. The tablecloths are made of old fashioned vinyl. Garland and tinsel hang from the rafters, and glass Christmas tree jars decorate the tables. I join the merriment by telling stories and listening to the history of the church. We share punch and cookies before the Sweet Adelines sing a variety of Christmas carols. Elizabeth Gilbert is the emcee, and she is very funny. I am next

with my Christmas stories. As I begin to speak I am caught up in their humor and sweetness and tell stories as if time will stand still for all of us. But too soon we say farewell and I find my way home in the fog. I check my calendar for all the events heading my way. I am ready. My students greet me warmly with projects in hand. I will miss these students when the semester is over. Secret Santa gifts have piled up in my office during my absence. It is great fun to open them and wonder about the person who has my name. Back home I cozy up in my studio with a candle and a small heater when I hear the doorbell ring. It is the delivery of oranges and grapefruit from the Pleasant Lake Lions Club. Jerry Walker carries them into my kitchen. Jerry is friendly and full of stories. We talk about Elten and Carolyn caught up in the winter storms out west. Jerry tells me he worked in Colorado for a while as a young man but came to Angola to become a typesetter for the Herald-Republican. He worked there 30 years. Jerry still misses the West now and again, but home is home. We say farewell. The Pilgrim is still on the table. It doesn’t really matter. The Christmas season is here and so am I. LOU ANN HOMAN-SAYLOR lives in Angola at the White Picket Gardens where you can find her gardening or writing late into the night under the light of her frayed scarlet lamp.

What Others Say • Iran nuclear deal an opportunity that requires follow-up Proponents of the Iran nuclear deal are calling it “a victory for diplomacy.” That very much remains to be seen; certainly it is a premature judgment. The same is true of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dark prophecy that the deal is “a historic mistake.” The real significance is that the deal was done at all, thanks to the relentless diplomacy of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his ability to keep our fractious allies in this endeavor — Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — on the same page. Of only slightly less importance is that the U.S. and

Iran talked substantively for the first time in decades, thanks in part to the departure of its bellicose former president, Mohammed Ahmadinejad, and his replacement by Hassan Rouhani, who claims he wants to end Iran’s pariah status. The deal reached last weekend is an interim arrangement that the parties could easily end at any time; however, it does buy six months during which the parties can begin the much harder task of reaching a long-term treaty. Reaction on Capitol Hill was mixed, with members of both parties expressing concerns that the interim pact would allow Iran to continue to enrich any uranium in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. “In my view, this agreement

did not proportionately reduce Iran’s nuclear program for the relief it is receiving,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said. “Given Iran’s history of duplicity, it will demand ongoing, on-the-ground verification. Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, who is the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, has introduced legislation that would require Iran to fully comply with the interim agreement and would prevent Obama from waiving additional sanctions unless Iran meets certain conditions for an acceptable final agreement. Corker said skepticism is widespread and Congress should hold the administration’s “feet to the fire” to ensure the

interim agreement does not become permanent. The deal could collapse if Congress, goaded by Israel, passes tougher sanctions during the life of the interim agreement. Such action would be premature. The interim pact is neither a diplomatic victory nor a grave error; it is an opportunity. If Iran thumbs its nose at the world and violates the agreement or fails to negotiate in good faith toward a permanent pact, the administration and our allies will need to restore all sanctions and perhaps take further action. In the meantime, all parties should give diplomacy a chance to work. Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel

JERUSALEM (AP) — Halfway through an ambitious nine-month process aimed at forging Mideast peace, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, after another round of shuttle diplomacy, has little to show for his efforts. The participants have reported no progress, a top Palestinian negotiator has resigned in frustration, and few believe Kerry can broker the comprehensive settlement set as his official goal. Instead, there are rumblings about what will happen when the clock runs out — either an extension of talks, an interim deal, unilateral moves or the outbreak of violence. Kerry tried to put a positive spin on things during a three-day stay marked by smiles, friendly rhetoric toward Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but also

MANDELA: Memorial service planned for Tuesday FROM PAGE A1

Floral tributes to former president Nelson Mandela are placed in Mandela Square at Sandton City in Johannesburg Friday. Mandela died Thursday at his Johannesburg home after a long illness. He was 95.

After midnight, a black SUV-type vehicle containing Mandela’s coffin, draped in South Africa’s flag, pulled away from Mandela’s home, escorted by military motorcycle outriders, to take the body to a military morgue in Pretoria. In a church service in Cape Town, Tutu, who like Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, said Mandela would want South Africans themselves to be his “memorial” by adhering to the values of unity and democracy that he embodied. He recalled the early 1990s when South Africa teetered on the brink of a race war. “All of us here in many ways amazed the world, a world that was expecting us to be devastated by a racial conflagration,” Tutu said.

accused Israel of negotiating in bad faith, pointing to continued Jewish settlement construction in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, lands captured by Israel in 1967 and sought by the Palestinians for their state. With roughly 550,000 Jews now living in these territories, the Palestinians say the chances of being able to divide the territory between the two peoples are running out. Plans to build more settlement homes have sparked a series of crises in the talks. Kerry has said the construction raised questions about Israel’s commitment to peace, and the Palestinians have threatened to withdraw from the talks in protest. Mohammed Ishtayeh, a former negotiator, said he resigned last month after concluding that the gaps would never be bridged.

reporter. He later decided to share his thoughts. “This is a celebration of the death, because we knew he was an old man,” said Radebe, whose eyes sparkled with shallow tears. “He brought a lot of changes to our community, because I grew up in apartheid. It was a very bad situation.” President Jacob Zuma announced that Mandela is to be buried during a state funeral in his rural home town of Qunu on Sunday, Dec. 15. A memorial service is to be held on Tuesday in FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Mandela’s last public appearance was at the same stadium in 2010 for the closing ceremony of the soccer World Cup. Mandela’s body will then lie in state in Pretoria for three days. Sunday marks a national day of prayer and reflection. “We call upon all our people to gather in halls, churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and in their homes for prayer services and meditation, reflecting on the life of Madiba and his contribution to our country and the world,” Zuma said, using Mandela’s clan name. Zuma had announced late Thursday that Mandela, who had been in and out of the hospital four times since February 2011, was dead. He was last admitted in June with a recurring lung infection from which he never recovered, though he was released in September to convalesce at home.

acknowledgements of the tough task ahead. “I believe we are closer than we have been for years to bringing about the peace and prosperity and the security that all people in this region deserve and yearn for,” he said Friday as he wrapped up his eighth visit to the region as secretary of state. Kerry did not elaborate, and it was the same type of optimistic language he has used since persuading Israel and the Palestinians to resume talks, their first substantive negotiations in five years, last July. Under heavy American pressure, the sides set an April target date for resolving their decades-long conflict. While negotiators have quietly been meeting, neither side has shown optimism. Instead, the talks have been repeatedly marred by mistrust and finger-pointing. The Palestinians have

He recalled how Mandela helped unite South Africa as it dismantled apartheid, the cruel system of white minority rule, and prepared for all-race elections in 1994. In those elections, Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison, became South Africa’s first black president. “God, thank you for the gift of Madiba,” said Tutu in his closing his prayer. In Mandela’s hometown of Qunu in the wide-open spaces of the Eastern Cape province, relatives consoled each other as they mourned the death of South Africa’s most famous citizen. Mandela was a “very human person” with a sense of humor who took interest in people around him, said F.W. de Klerk, South Africa’s last apartheid-era president.

confidence in the economy, 4½ years after the recession officially ended, to ramp up hiring. In addition to the solid job gain and the drop in unemployment, Friday’s report offered other encouraging signs: — Higher-paying industries are adding more jobs. Manufacturers added 27,000 jobs, the most since March 2012. Construction companies added 17,000. The two industries have created a combined 113,000 jobs over the past four months. — Hourly wages are up. The average rose 4 cents in November to $24.15. It’s risen just 2 percent in the past year. But that’s ahead of inflation: Consumer prices are up only 0.9 percent in that time. — Employers are giving their workers more hours: The average work week

rose to 34.5 hours from 34.4. A rule of thumb among economists is that a one-tenth hourly increase in the work week is equivalent to adding 300,000 jobs. — Hiring was broad-based. In addition to higher-paying industries, retailers added 22,300 jobs, restaurants, bars and hotels 20,800. Education and health care added 40,000. And after years of cutbacks, state and local governments are hiring again. In November, governments at all levels combined added 7,000 jobs. Still, the report contained some sour notes: Many Americans are still avoiding the job market, neither working nor looking for work. That’s one reason the unemployment rate has fallen in recent months. The percentage of adults either working or searching for

jobs remains near a 35-year low. And America’s long-term unemployed are still struggling. More than 4 million people have been out of work for six months or longer. That figure was essentially unchanged in November. By contrast, the number of people who have been unemployed for less than six months fell last month. Among companies that are ramping up hiring is Eat24, which handles online restaurant deliveries. Eat24, based in San Francisco, expects this month to hire 10 to 15 salespeople, mobile application developers and data analysts, on top of its 150-person workforce. “The economy is picking up a little bit,” said Amir Eisenstein, the chief marketing officer. “In the last couple of years, the mobile market has boomed.”

for the game or elsewhere in the state. The state highway department said it had more than 600 trucks clearing and treating highways. Spokesman Harry Maginity said crews were able to keep most highways in good shape. “It looks like pretty wet snow, which means it’s probably not going to be drifting,” he said. “If we had a drier snow, then the rural highways would be blowing shut.” The National Weather Service reported up to

10 inches of snow near Vincennes and more than 7 inches around Bloomington. About 5 inches fell near Columbus and Franklin, both along Interstate 65 south of Indianapolis. Indianapolis International Airport reported a handful of flight delays and cancellations, primarily to Texas and the East Coast. But the bigger issue for many travelers was de-icing. Some passengers reported waiting more than 90 minutes on the tarmac for their planes to be de-iced. The storm was expected

to leave behind frigid air with highs in the teens and 20s over coming days. The weather had some unexpected benefits for Chris Clifford, director of operations for St. Elmo’s Steakhouse in Indianapolis who was coordinating a contest as part of the Big Ten championship. About a dozen people were scheduled Saturday to see how many of the restaurant’s signature shrimp cocktails they could down. With the predicted temperatures, “We don’t have to ice the shrimp down,” Clifford said.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings made the most of their offensive opportunities against the New Jersey Devils on Friday. “It was a game that was offensively challenged by both teams,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said after his Red Wings beat the Devils 3-1. Johan Franzen and Tomas Tatar scored third-period goals Detroit, which has won five of six. Joakim Andersson also scored and Jonas Gustavsson made 10 saves for the Red Wings. “(The Red Wings have) to keep (winning). Tough without big guys but it’s important to see we can win without them,” Franzen said. “(It’s) big for us to see we can win without them.” Cory Schneider made 18 saves for New Jersey, which has lost three in a row. “We didn’t play our best game of the year,” Steve Bernier said. “There (are) a lot of bad things around right now, but we need to focus on the good things.” The Red Wings finished with 21 shots while the Devils only had 11.

Notre Dame plans to accept a bid to the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Friday. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not become official, said Notre Dame officials have informed bowl organizers that the Fighting Irish will play in the Dec. 28 game in New York against a team from the American Athletic Conference. CBS.com first reported Notre Dame’s decision. The Fighting Irish were left without a pre-arranged bowl destination this season. Notre Dame’s final choice came down to the Hawaii Bowl or the Pinstripe Bowl. The Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego also was a possibility. The Irish regularly try to play games in the New York area, where they have a huge following. They played Army in a regular-season game at Yankee Stadium in 2010, the first college football game at the new stadium.

LAGRANGE — In a season that consists of 20 games or more, the first two games don’t define a season. But they sure are a good indicator of what’s ahead. “It’s unbelievable, it feels great,” said Lakeland senior Marco Olivares following Friday’s 73-49 victory over Fremont, moving the Lakers to 2-0 on the season. “It boosts our confidence a lot.” Olivares had 17 points in the win. Teammate Brant Betts led the Lakers with 24 points. “Betts, he gave us really good minutes off the bench,” said Lakeland coach Scott LaPlace. It was the second game of the season for both teams. “We’re still a work in progress, still getting used to everything,” said LaPlace. “It’s going to take a while, but these guys pick up things very quickly. “We’re positive, but trying to keep things in perspective, we’ve still got to get better.” The Eagles fell to 0-2. The squad opened the season at Fort Wayne Blackhawk and lost 85-60. “It’s definitely a rebuilding year, but we can’t tolerate 21 turnovers in a game,” said Fremont

Tough World Cup draw for U.S. Mariners BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. drew a daunting task for next year’s World Cup: difficult opponents, tropical venues and a wearying 9,000-mile zigzag journey across Brazil. The Americans wound up with the potentially punishing group they feared and will play Ghana, Portugal and Germany next June as they try to achieve a U.S. first: reaching the knockout phase twice in a row. While Ghana eliminated the Americans in 2006 and 2010, the Black Stars won’t do it again. The U.S. opens its seventh straight World Cup appearance against Ghana on June 16 at Natal. The U.S. meets Portugal and 2008 FIFA Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo six days later in the Amazon rain forest city Manaus. The Americans have just three off days to recover before closing Group G on June 26 in Recife against three-time champion Germany. “I think we have the quality, if we play our best ball, to get out of the group,” U.S. captain Clint Dempsey said after Friday’s draw set the eight four-nation groups. “You can’t think about, ‘Am I the favorite? Am I the underdog? What’s it going to be like playing in the heat? What’s it going to be like with the travel?’ Those

are factors that come into it, but at the end of the day both teams have to deal with it.” After having the shortest group-play travel in South Africa, the U.S. will have the longest in Brazil. The Americans will be based in Sao Paulo and face trips of 1,436 miles to Natal, 1,832 miles to Manaus and 1,321 miles to Recife. They also will play all three matches in the tropics, with the second and third matches in the afternoon. And the U.S. group has the top average FIFA world ranking. “It’s definitely one of the tougher groups, if not the toughest, but at the same time, this is what the World Cup’s all about. You go there to play against the best,” American forward Jozy Altidore said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “I think the boys will be excited, will be up for it.” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who replaced Bob Bradley 2½ years ago, played for Germany’s 1990 World Cup championship team and coached his native country to third place at home in the 2006 tournament, commuting to Europe from his California house in Orange County. “It couldn’t get any more difficult or any bigger,” he said at the draw in Costa

do Sauipe, Brazil. “It’s a real challenge. And we’ll take it. We’ll take it on, and hopefully we’re going to surprise some people there.” The U.S. and South Korea were the last remaining teams in draw pot three. While the Americans landed in a group with an average FIFA ranking of 11.25, South Korea wound up in Group H, creating a group with the poorest

average at 28.25. “I think the team’s mentality is that we can go and play with anybody,” American defender Matt Besler said. “Now we’re going to have to prove it.” Germany beat the U.S. 2-0 in its 1998 World Cup opener in Paris — with Klinsmann setting up the first goal and scoring the second — then edged the Americans 1-0 on a contro-

versial goal in the 2002 quarterfinal in South Korea. Die Mannschaft is coached by Klinsmann’s former assistant, Joachim Loew. The Americans beat a second-tier German roster 4-3 in a June exhibition at Washington. “With Jurgen Klinsmann, they have another mentality,” Loew said. “I learned a lot from Jurgen, so this is special.” Ranked 14th in the world, the U.S. has alternated quick exits with advancement since returning to soccer’s showcase in 1990. After the draw four years ago, one British paper used a headline “EASY” for England, Algeria, Slovenia and the Yanks, and The Sun called it the “best English group since the Beatles.” The Americans wound up atop a group for the first time, and England advanced as the second-place nation. This time, second-ranked Germany and fifth-ranked Portugal are the favorites to advance to the second round. If the U.S. reaches the round of 16, it would face Belgium, Russia, Algeria or South Korea from Group H. “I guarantee you Jurgen knows more about Germany than Jogi Loew knows about the U.S,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said.

Tiger leads tourney

AREA HOOPS: Hamilton loses at Elkhart Christian

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Tiger Woods didn’t like the way he warmed up on the range. What he produced on the golf course Friday left him with no complaints. Woods had a birdie putt on every hole and made 10 of them for a 10-under 62, tying his course record at Sherwood Country Club and giving the tournament host a two-shot lead over Zach Johnson going into the weekend at the World Challenge. “It was good today,”

Cory Waycaster led four Eagle scorers in double figures with 15 points. ECA is 2-0. For Hamilton (1-2), Casey Rote had 16 points, Addison Stephens scored 15 and Aaron Kelley added 13. In girls’ basketball action Friday in Waterford Mills, Prairie Heights defeated Bethany Christian 42-33.

Woods said with a broad smile, perhaps because there was little else to say. “It was a clinic,” said Graeme McDowell, the defending champion who played alongside Woods in the second round and had a 67. Woods was at 11-under 133 and will be paired in the last group Saturday with Johnson, who missed a few good birdie chances on the back nine but still managed a 68. Johnson is a two-time runner-up at the World Challenge, both times to Woods.

reach deal with 2B Cano SEATTLE (AP) — Robinson Cano is trading pinstripes for the Pacific Northwest. The free agent second baseman and the Seattle Mariners have reached agreement on a deal, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday. ESPN reported earlier Friday that the contract was worth $240 million for 10 years. The person told the AP that the deal was pending a physical that had not yet been scheduled. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement. Music mogul Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation has partnered with CAA Baseball to represent Cano, was in Seattle for talks that began Thursday and stretched into Friday. Agent Brodie Van Wagenen of CAA Baseball and Juan Perez of Roc Nation Sports also were in attendance. Cano had spent his entire career with the New York Yankees and was a five-time All-Star. He played in 160 games last season and hit .314 with 27 homers and 107 RBIs. The Yankees had offered $175 million over seven years. New York went 85-77 last season and missed the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years; Seattle went 71-91 and hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2001. “He was a great Yankee. He was a great player. I think everybody tried hard to get the deal done. We just never got close enough obviously. We wish him the best. We hope he has a long, healthy career,” Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said Friday. “We’re going to keep going. We’re still looking at all the same guys that we were looking at a week ago or two ago. We’re going to continue to improve. We’re not done spending.” The Mariners weren’t saying much of anything. “We are not able to confirm any news regarding Robinson Cano at this time. If and when an agreement is completed and finalized, we will announce,” the team said in a statement.

coach Ted Bookwalter. “We’re going to learn and get better and we’ll find the right seven guys to rotate.” It was also just the second game for LaPlace as head coach at Lakeland. The Lakers beat East Noble 62-49 in their opener. In Friday’s game, LaPlace was going against the team he coached for nine seasons from 2000-09. “I love Ted Bookwalter, he was such a big help to me at Fremont,” said LaPlace. “It felt a little awkward, but I’m so in love with Lakeland that tonight they were just an opponent.” The Lakers scored the final eight points of the opening half to build a double-digit lead by the break. “We came out stronger than last week,” Olivares said. The contest was tight early on, with each squad connecting three times from behind the 3-point arc in the first period. Wade Regadanz, Tony LaRose and Justin Papenbrock each connected on 3-pointers for the Eagles, while Betts hit twice and Eric Herber hit once for Lakeland. “I’m happy with our 3-pointer shooting and our free throw shooting,” Bookwalter said. “But the main issue is clearly turnovers. It was the same in the game with Blackhawk.”

That showed in the second period. Lakeland took a slim 18-16 lead into the period, then held the Eagles to only one field in the second quarter, a bucket by Papenbrock. Turnovers killed the Eagles in the period. Fremont did get five free throws from Beams, but by the half the Lakers had taken their lead to 34-23. The Eagles went without any points the final four minutes of the half. Meanwhile, Betts made 6-of-7 free throws and the Lakers also got a basket from Olivares. The Lakeland margin was 34-23 at the break. Olivares opened the second half on fire, hitting three buckets for the Lakers and also coming away with some key steals. Late in the third period the Lakers took their margin to twenty points, at 50-30, following a score by Mynhier on a long pass from Olivares. The score was 52-31 entering the final stanza and Lakeland extended the margin to 25 points before a minute passed in the fourth quarter to erase any hopes the Eagles might have of a rally. Regadanz led the Eagles with 13 points. Alex Beams added 12 points. “They did a really nice job on Alex Beams,” Bookwalter said. “They really focused on him.” Also scoring for the Eagles were Papenbrock (5

points), LaRose (5), Tyler Meyer (5), Logan Peel (4), Logan Pentecost (2), Colton Howe (2) and Caleb Presley (1). Beams and LaRose each had six rebounds. Along with the scoring from Olivares and Betts, the Lakers had scoring from Chandler Mynhier (13), Tanner Oakley (8), Eric Herber (5), Dustin Cunningham (2), Daemyn Priestley (2), Josh Collyer (2), Joseph Trost (2) and Jacob Hendrix (1). The Eagles begin a string of three home games on Tuesday against Garrett. Fremont will play host to Hamilton on Dec. 14 and will take on Lakewood Park on Dec. 19. The Fremont girls will join the boys for a doubleheader for the contest with Hamilton. After two home games, the Lakers will take to the road for the first time on Tuesday at Fairfield in another Northeast Corner Conference game. They’ll follow that with a nonconference meeting at Bethany Christian. Lakeland JV 42, Fremont 32 Dustin Riehl and Cole Lozano each had eight points for the Lakeland JV in its 42-32 victory. Logan Miller led Fremont with a game-high 17 points and six rebounds.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Petersen leaves Boise for UW SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen is headed to Washington after finally being persuaded to leave Boise State. Petersen agreed to become the Huskies’ new football coach on Friday, leaving behind an unprecedented run of success with the Broncos. The Huskies made the announcement Friday morning after Petersen reportedly met with Washington athletic director Scott Woodward on Thursday night in Boise. The decision was first reported by ESPN. Petersen met with his Boise State players Friday morning before the announcement was made. “Coach Petersen’s success and record are extraordinary, but even more impressive is the man himself,” Woodward said in a statement released by the school. “His integrity, work ethic and character make him an outstanding fit and leader of our student-athletes at UW. We are thrilled and proud to call Coach Petersen a Husky.” Petersen will replace Steve Sarkisian, who went 34-29 in five seasons at Washington before leaving earlier this week to take the job at USC. Petersen was 92-12 in his eight seasons at Boise State, turning the Broncos into a national program with two Fiesta Bowl titles. But he’s coming off the worst regular season in his tenure with the Broncos after going 8-4.

Texans fire coach Gary Kubiak HOUSTON (AP) — Houston fired coach Gary Kubiak on Friday, one day after the Texans lost 27-20 at Jacksonville for their 11th straight loss to continue their stunning fall for a team that expected to make a Super Bowl run. Houston (2-11) was flagged 14 times for a franchise-record 177 yards. Kubiak, 52, was hired in 2006 and led the team to back-to-back AFC South titles in 2011-2012 during his eight-year tenure as coach of his hometown NFL team. The Texans said they couldn’t wait any longer to start turning things around, not with the losses and undisciplined play piling up.

The first week of December has certainly been a pleasant one, but starting this weekend, winter will come upon us full force with cold. While I can handle the snow, it is the cold temperatures that always chill me more. While a lot of people still use propane to heat their ELYSIA homes, wood RODGERS burners have certainly gained a good deal of popularity in the last 10 years. Ward Upham from Kansas State University has provided some great information on how much heat each type of wood can produce. Not all firewood is created equal. Some species of trees are able to produce much more heat per cord of wood. A cord is the amount of wood in a well-stacked woodpile measuring 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 4 feet high. If you are trying to figure out how much a cord would look like, it would take 2.6 truckloads of a full-size, short box truck (level with the top of the box) to equal one cord of firewood.

Osage Orange is a very hard and decay resistant wood that burns very hot. It was used by the Osage Indians to make bows and was widely planted in hedge rows during the dust bowl to control wind erosion.

post oak 25.6, osage orange 32.6, black walnut 21.8, apple 25.8, cherry 20.0, norway pine 17.1, white spruce 18.1. So for a hotter heat, you would want to aim for the osage orange and black locust firewood. Remember to try to cut your firewood locally, and if you do need to cross state lines, make sure the wood is not quarantined by checking with the local DNR.

The amount of heat a cord of wood can produce is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTUâ€™s. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. One BTU is equal to 1,055 Joules or 252 calories. Following are heat values (in million BTUâ€™s) per cord for various species of tree. The higher the value, the better the wood: green ash 22.8, cottonwood 15.9, American elm 19.8, hackberry 21.0, honeylocust 25.6, black locust 28.3, sugar maple 24.0, silver maple 18.9, mulberry 25.3, red oak 24.0, bur oak 24.9,

Economist challenges idea of aging farmer crisis DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) â€” Agriculture economists have long warned that farmers are getting old and staying on their land longer, delaying the turnover to a younger generation. But an Ohio State University professor argues that those fears are overstated and the United States likely will have little problem replacing aging farmers as long as business is good, as it has been for the past decade. Others arenâ€™t so sure, saying while they agree with OSU agriculture economist Carl Zulaufâ€™s assessment that concerns about the unquestionably aging farmer population remain valid and create uncertainty about who will produce the nationâ€™s crops in the future. â€œI think what he said is absolutely right,â€? Iowa State University economics professor Mike Duffy said. â€œI think the conclusion heâ€™s drawing though is not necessarily the correct one.â€? Zulauf contends that just like in the 1970s, farm prosperity will draw more young workers into farming. And prosperous the business is: This year, net income from U.S. farms is expected to reach a record $131 billion. Farm wealth has also reached record levels, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with farm asset values rising 7 percent this year to a record

Mom slow to address girl’s excess weight DEAR ABBY: I’m 12 and weigh 204 pounds. I feel really fat and I want to go on a diet, but my mom won’t let me. I’m getting bad grades in gym class and need your help. — SAD GIRL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR SAD GIRL: By recognizing that you have a problem that you can’t deal with on your own, you have already taken an important first step in resolving it. The next is to talk to your gym teacher about this and enlist her aid in convincing your mother to give you the help you need. Childhood obesity is rampant in this country, and all those extra pounds could negatively affect your health — not only now, but in the future. If you have a pediatrician, the doctor may be able to discuss the importance of a healthy diet and exercise program for you with your mom.

DEAR ABBY: I am 18 and dating someone of a different race. We have been DEAR together for than ABBY more a year. The problem is my father is Jeanne Phillips very racist. Every time I sneak out to go see my boyfriend, my father wants to know who I am with. I tell him it’s “my friends,” but he knows I’m lying. I want to tell him who I’m dating, but I know he’s going to be judgmental and rude if I introduce him to

my boyfriend. Any advice on what to do? — NERVOUS IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR NERVOUS: At 18 you are too old to be sneaking around. Your father knows something is up, and he probably suspects the reason you’re not being truthful or open, so stop lying. If he wants to know why you haven’t brought the young man around, tell him it’s because you know how he would react. And IF you decide to make introductions, be sure your boyfriend knows in advance what the reaction will probably be — if he agrees to meet your dad, that is. But I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Weight-loss drugs not for mildly overweight weight loss in different ways. A drug called orlistat reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from the food you eat. Other drugs suppress your appetite, help you feel full and ramp up your metabolism. The drugs that work this way have long, hard-to-pronounce medical ASK names: DOCTOR K. lorcaserin, phentermine, diethylDr. Anthony propion, benzphetKomaroff amine, phendimetrazine, bupropion, topiramate, zonisamide. Several drugs for Type 2 diabetes appear to also help with weight loss, when combined with lifestyle

changes: metformin, pramlintide, exenatide, liraglutide. It’s ironic that the names of each of the drugs that can help with weight loss are themselves quite a mouthful. When deciding whether to recommend weight-loss drugs to my patients, I consider their body mass index (BMI). BMI estimates a healthy weight based on height. You should consider taking a weight-loss drug only if you: • Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or • Have a BMI of 27 or higher and also have one or more weight-related health problems, such as Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Before you start a weightloss drug, consider why you overeat. For example, do you overeat because of stress, bad habits or emotional issues? If so, you may benefit less from medication and more from psychotherapy or behavioral

DEAR DOCTOR K: Should I take a weight-loss drug to help me lose weight? DEAR READER: If you are only mildly overweight or just want to lose a few pounds to improve your appearance, then weight-loss drugs are not for you. On the other hand, if your health is at risk and you haven’t been able to lose weight through diet and exercise, drug therapy may increase your chance of success. There are a handful of FDA-approved weight-loss drugs on the market today. One is available over-thecounter; the others are prescription only. When I was a medical student, virtually none of them were available. The growing epidemic of obesity has led to the development of many drugs that can be helpful. None is a “magic bullet”; none melts the fat off of you while you’re watching TV. These drugs promote

You will need the help of other adults to make her understand if she can’t see that you need help now.

therapy. On the other hand, if you overeat because of hunger, then weight-loss drugs are more likely to help. Over the years, several weight-loss drugs have been taken off the market because of safety concerns. It can take time, and lots of people taking a new drug, before any safety issues become apparent. Most of the drugs now available have not been on the market very long, so talk to your doctor about your individual risks and benefits. Finally, bear in mind that you should use weight-loss drugs only in combination with diet and physical activity. To lose weight over the long term, you need to recognize and change the behaviors that led to your weight gain. Otherwise, any weight you lose is likely to return. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

Saudi militants staged deadly assault in Yemen ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Saudi militants were behind the massive car bombing and assault on Yemen’s military headquarters that killed more than 50 people, including foreigners, investigators said in a preliminary report released Friday. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens of the terror network’s leaders. The attack — the deadliest in Sanaa since May 2012 — marked an escalation in the terror network’s battle to undermine the U.S.-allied government and destabilize the impoverished Arab nation despite the drone strikes and a series of U.S.-backed military offensive against it. U.S. forces also have

been training and arming Yemeni special forces, and exchanging intelligence with the central government. Military investigators described a two-stage operation, saying heavily armed militants wearing army uniforms first blew up a car packed with 500 kilograms (more than 1,100 pounds) of explosives near an entrance gate, then split into groups that swept through a military hospital and a laboratory, shooting at soldiers, doctors, nurses, doctors and patients. Officials earlier said 11 militants were killed, including the suicide bomber who drove the car. It was not clear if the 12th attacker was captured or escaped. The investigative committee led by Yemen’s Chief of Staff Gen. Ahmed

al-Ashwal, said militants shot the guards outside the gates of the military hospital, allowing the suicide bomber to drive the car inside, but a gunfight forced him to detonate his explosives before reaching his target. It said the 12 militants killed, included Saudis. Two military officials told The Associated Press that wounded soldiers had told them the assailants who stormed the hospital separated out the foreigners and shot everybody in the head. Other military officials said American security agents were helping with the investigations, but that could not be confirmed. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief reporters. Yemeni commandos and other security forces

besieged the militants before they could reach the ministry’s main building, preventing them from going further than the ministry’s entrance gate. All the attackers were killed by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the committee. Yemeni security forces launched a manhunt in the capital to find the perpetrators, sparking gunbattles that killed five suspected militants and a Yemeni commando, officials said. The committee, which sent its report to Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, did not explain how it came to its conclusions The report was read on state TV and a copy was obtained by The Associated Press. Hadi met Friday with the U.N. envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar to discuss the attack. He said

that “a number of assailants have been arrested,” without elaborating. He added that the “criminals will not escape justice.” The report also raised the death toll to 56 and said more than 200 people were wounded. The foreigners killed included two aid workers from Germany, two doctors from Vietnam, two nurses from the Philippines and a nurse from India, according to Yemen’s Supreme Security Commission. But a spokesman for the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs, Raul Hernandez, said Friday that seven Filipinos were killed in the attack, including a doctor and nurses, while 11 others were wounded. The victims were among 40 Filipino workers in the hospital. Hernandez

said that the Philippines’ honorary consul reported that the others survived by pretending to be dead. It was not immediately possible to reconcile the conflicting accounts. But officials from the military hospital said Friday that at least 10 foreigners had been killed. Germany’s foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer also announced Friday that German employees of aid groups doing work on behalf of the German government have been ordered to leave Yemen “as quickly as possible” and “until further notice.” Schafer also said the German embassy will continue to operate with reduced staff and “corresponding security measures.”
