Sliver of heavy snow hits northern Indiana LAPORTE (AP) — It sure looks like winter now in a sliver of northern Indiana that’s been hit by heavy lake-effect snow. Wind blowing off Lake Michigan dumped several inches of snow in the LaPorte area early Tuesday. The National Weather Service has issued a lake-effect snow warning for the LaPorte and Michigan City areas, forecasting up to 7 inches of snow by Tuesday afternoon. Some schools delayed openings in LaPorte County. WSBT-TV reports about 3 inches of snow fell by dawn along the Indiana Toll Road near LaPorte. Police reported some slide-off accidents, but no serious travel problems. The heavy snowfall ban is narrow, with nearby South Bend seeing a half-inch or less. Other parts of northern and central Indiana also saw light snowfall.
South Bend bans using plastic bags for yard waste SOUTH BEND — The South Bend Common Council voted Monday to ban the use of plastic bags for yard waste, according to news reports. The South Bend Tribune reports that in September, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management cited the city’s composting center for accepting non-compostable waste and gave the city 30 days to come up with a plan to correct the problem. There is about 100,000 cubic yards of such waste at the center. The amended ordinance says yard waste for pick-up must be placed in a biodegradable paper bag or other container approved by the city and separated from other trash or garbage.

Signs have been erected in fields at Moody and Crew farms in Steuben County to let
people know about the cover crop conservation practices the business is using.
Conservation success, excess Prairies vanish in push for green energy
Incentive aids local cover crop plantings BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — Four percent of the cropland in Steuben County is being protected by cover crops, which increases nutrients in the soil and decreases runoff. Funding for environmental quality conservation projects can be requested through Feb. 21 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Environmental Quality Incentive Program. EQIP provides land owners with financial and technical assistance to install conservation practices to address specific resource concerns. Moody and Crew, a Steuben County crop and dairy operation, started using cover crops voluntarily 10 years ago, said

ROSCOE, S.D. (AP) — Robert Malsam nearly went broke in the 1980s when corn was cheap. So now that prices are high and he can finally make a profit, he’s not about to apologize for ripping up prairieland to plant corn. Across the Dakotas and Nebraska, more than 1 million acres of the Great Plains are giving way to corn fields as farmers transform the wild expanse that once served as the backdrop for American pioneers. This expansion of the Corn Belt is fueled in part by America’s green energy policy, which requires oil companies to blend billions of gallons of corn ethanol into their gasoline. Ethanol has become the No. 1 use for corn in America, helping keep prices high. “It’s not hard to do the math there as to what’s profitable to have,” Malsam said. “I think an ethanol plant is a farmer’s friend.” What the green-energy program has made profitable, however, is far from green. A policy intended to reduce global warming is encouraging a farming practice that actually could worsen it.
Aid finds way to typhoon victims TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — Desperately needed food, water and medical aid are only trickling into this city that took the worst blow from Typhoon Haiyan, while thousands of victims jammed the damaged airport Tuesday, seeking to be evacuated. “We need help. Nothing is happening. We haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon,” pleaded a weeping Aristone Balute, an 81-year-old woman who failed to get a flight out of Tacloban for Manila, the capital. Her clothes were soaked from a pouring rain and tears streamed down her face. Five days after what could be the Philippines’ deadliest disaster, aid is coming — pallets of supplies and teams of doctors are waiting to get into Tacloban — but the challenges of delivering the assistance means few in the stricken city have received help. “There is a huge amount that

That’s because plowing into untouched grassland releases carbon dioxide that has been naturally locked in the soil. It also increases erosion and requires farmers to use fertilizers and other industrial chemicals. In turn, that destroys native plants and wipes out wildlife habitats.

ANGOLA — The Metropolitan School District of Steuben County Board of Education signed a two-year contract for teachers at a special meeting Tuesday night in the McCutcheon Administrative Center.

Tuesday’s signing occurred one day before the state deadline for a contract agreement.

Toys for Tots rolls in Steuben County
Man facing burglary BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — A final Toys for Tots interview session is scheduled for Friday, 6-9 p.m., at 112 N. Depot St., Auburn. Toys for Tots provides gifts for children in needy families in Steuben and DeKalb counties through local donations. The program — a nationwide U.S. Marine Corps intitiative — is headed by Melissa Coats of Auburn. She, her husband Jamie and a handful of helpers volunteer many hours as the holidays approach to coordinate interviews and donations. They begin working in mid-October, contacting local merchants and companies. For example, this year, Trin in Ashley offered to do an internal toy drive, with employees bringing in items for Toys for Tots. Boxes are set out at local businesses. In Angola, there are Toys for Tots receptacles at Menards, 3200 N. Wayne St.; Baals and Wiegand Family Eye, 240 Hoosier Drive; Walgreens, 2012 N. Wayne St.; and Project Help of Steuben County, 711 E. Harcourt Road. Several interview sessions have been held, and at this time there are 162 families in the two counties that are going to be served by Toys for Tots, said Coats. “I’ve had several people email me, call me, saying they’ve missed them,” said Coats. After Friday, she plans to have her final tally for those that need to be served. She can be reached at mdc_tft@yahoo.com or 908-2022. Toys for Tots has been operating in Steuben County for six years. It provides a couple toys valued at $10-$15 and six to seven stocking stuffers along with an activity book for the entire family.
AMY OBERLIN
Walgreens assistant manager Rachel Weaver, left, and shift leader Gail Estes stand with the Toys for Tots box available for donations at the front door of the Angola store. Boxes are at three other locations in Angola as well.
“We always struggle with our newborn to 1 year olds,” said Coats. Less donations are also left for youths 11-14 years old. “It’s still Christmas. It’s still a child who wants a present under the tree,” Coats noted. For older children, hair and jewelry accessories and sports balls are a favorite, she said. The goal is to make sure every child has a great Christmas. Toys are expected to be distributed on Dec. 14 in Steuben County. The location has not yet been determined. Toys for Tots refers some families needing extra help to the Christmas Adoption Program Steuben. CAPS is coordinated through Project Help of Steuben County. There are 40 families receiving the assistance at this time, said executive director Sheri Frank, and more are expected to be added. A meeting is being held today at 9 a.m. at Project Help to coordinate volunteers and begin rallying community support. CAPS supports local under-resourced families by matching them with people, businesses or groups, which “adopt” them for Christmas. Candidates are screened through Toys for Tots — which requires a picture identification and proof of address, a birth certificate for each child and proof of
all household income and all household expenses. On Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Steuben County Community Foundation, 1701 N. Wayne St., Angola, the 101 Lakes Kiwanis will hold its Kares for Kids toy collection, which will benefit Project Help. Last year, 250 new or gently used toys were given to Project Help through donations dropped off in a STAR Transportation van. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to talk to children and there will be refreshments, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To help meet last-minute Christmas needs at Project Help, the 101 Lakes Kiwanis will also hold Pancakes with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Club Paradise, 3861 N. Bay View Road, 8-11 a.m., in the banquet room. Serving and cleanup will be by Kiwanis members. Breakfast costs a $5 donation with all the proceeds going directly to Project Help, said Kiwanis member Karen Shelton. Project Help is the county’s food and clothing bank. It is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Luke 3:11 Coat Bank at Mount Zion United Methodist Church, 3401 S. Golden Lake Road, will have its final scheduled distribution day on Nov. 16, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Bail $50,000 in sex case BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — An Angola man is charged with a Class B felony for entering a Lake James home and taking a garage door opener. Zachary O. Wright, 20, was arraigned Tuesday afternoon by Steuben Superior Court Judge William Fee on a Wright count of residential burglary, a Class B felony that carries up to a 20-year prison sentence. He will be back in Superior Court on Nov. 18 for a pretrial conference, represented by public defender Linda Wagoner. He also has a pending misdemeanor charge and will be held up to 15 days in Steuben County Jail pending a motion seeking the revocation of his probation in another case. His bail was set at $30,000 and he may post a 10 percent bond for his release from jail. Steuben County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 170 block of Lane 242 on Nov. 8 due to multiple alleged break-in attempts. A homeowner found Wright in a locked porch area trying to hide, say court documents. When police arrived, they found his red moped parked at a garage across the street from the lake homes and with K9 assistance found Wright in a wooded area. The opener was found on his person, and police were able to use it to open the garage door of the home from which it had allegedly been stolen. No other items were listed as damaged or missing in court documents. If he makes bond, Wright is prohibited from going to the residence.
part of October. The activity was allegedly witnessed by other children at the Hamilton Lake residence. If he makes bail, Clark is to have no contact with the victim or any of the three other children named in the case. He is scheduled for a pretrial conference on Jan. 13 at 1 p.m. in Steuben Circuit Court. Each Class B felony charge pending against him carries up to a 20-year prison sentence.

LaGrange kills HR proposal with Steuben Committee members feel own HR person best choice BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com
LAGRANGE — Members of LaGrange County’s Human Resources Committee Tuesday morning ended speculation that LaGrange County was interested in creating a joint human resources department with their counterparts in Steuben County. Instead, the committee opted to start the process of looking for a full-time human resources professional to oversee LaGrange County’s nearly 200 employees. Nearly a month ago, officials from Steuben and LaGrange counties gathered in the LaGrange County Courthouse Annex and seemed to share a vision of creating a joint human resources department, a move they said would benefit the bottom lines of each county. The two counties went as far as drafting a memorandum of understanding that outlined the plan to share the cost of hiring a professional to oversee the human resources needs of both counties. That proposal died a quick death Tuesday morning when committee member and LaGrange County Councilman Mike Strawser said he doubted the idea would save LaGrange County any money in the long run. “I’d be more in favor of trying to find somebody to be our own HR professional. That way, we could get this set up and get boots on the ground by Jan. 1,” Strawser told the rest of the committee. Fellow committee member and Commissioner Jac Price went on to suggest LaGrange County should
move forward with the new plan and set up a new human resources department. He suggested that if the county discovers dealing with the human resources needs of LaGrange County is not a full-time job, LaGrange County still could offer the services of its could professional to Steuben County. Council president and committee member Peter Cook said while the initial idea seemed to be that a joint office would save each county money, he now believes LaGrange County needs its own human resources professional. “That’s not a 17 1/2-hour job,” he added. Strawser went on to say that while a recent proposal to share a community corrections department is a good idea, since that department has no part in setting policy, a joint human resources department ultimately would not benefit either county. “I just don’t see it working,” Strawser said. Steuben County officials have been divided on the proposal. While Commissioner Loretta Smart seemed to favor the arrangement, Commissioner Ron Smith said it was going to take a considerable amount of evidence to convince him the plan was workable. Numerous questions have been asked of elected officials in Steuben County. Recent meetings of the commissioners and Steuben County Council have drawn numerous department heads who have been curious about the proposal. The opinions of Steuben department heads, both elected and appointed, have been split, based on their comments at public meetings.
Steuben-LaGrange corrections plan moving forward BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — Steuben County Council members gave conditional approval to a measure that will hire four additional community corrections workers. The approval made Tuesday morning is based on the plan being approved by the Steuben County Board of Commissioners. Typically funding for programs goes before the council after approval by the commissioners. While Community Corrections Director Brett Hays has kept commissioners informed of a joint operating agreement with LaGrange County for months, the plan for the project has not gone before the county’s executive and legislative body. “I don’t see a problem with it but I think we need to follow procedure,” said Councilman F. Mayo Sanders. The plan is to hire three additional full-time people for the new community corrections program for LaGrange in January, with a fourth person being hired in March. Part-time personnel will be hired in June with the program starting to accept offenders July 1. LaGrange County recently entered into an agreement with Steuben County to operate a community corrections
program to complement its existing work release program. While the staff for LaGrange would work in LaGrange and likely be people from that community, the program will be administered through Hays and his staff. Community corrections is for the least violent offenders who are placed on home detention as part of their sentences for typically non-violent crimes. Work release involves a daily and weekend incarceration component. The funds for the salaries are coming initially from state grants. “The exposure to the county is the additional insurance liability,” Hays said. Steuben County is currently working on adding a work release element to its community corrections program. If it makes it through Indiana Department of Corrections approval, it would be housed in a newer part of the old Steuben County Jail. Both community corrections and work release are funded by grant dollars and user fees. All participants in both programs must pay to be in the program. The offenders also must be employed in order to pay for the service. If not, they are put in either a county jail or the DOC.

Deaths & Funerals • Forrest Parks AVILLA — Forrest Earl Parks, age 81, died on Saturday, November 9, 2013, at his rural Avilla home. Mr. Parks was born in Kendallville, Indiana, on August 28, 1932, to the late Howard C. Parks and Arlene M. (Wooster) Parks. He graduated as class president Mr. Parks from Avilla High School in 1950. He married Monna Fay Miller on June 26, 1954, at the Methodist Church Mr. Parks in Avilla. Monna preceded his death on December 18, 2003. Forrest spent his entire life working on the family farm. He raised crops and hay, supplied lime for area farmers and hauled grain to Maumee, Ohio, for many years. Forrest was industrious and hardworking and held several other jobs over the years along with farming. He was employed as a custodian at Avilla School, assistant to the surveyor for the Indiana State Highway Department, school bus driver for East Noble School Corporation and he worked as a custodian at Richards Restaurants in Kendallville, Auburn and Columbia City. Forrest was an active, lifelong member of the Calvary United Methodist Church in Avilla where he was the Sunday school superintendent for many years.

Actress America Ferrera, left, appears on stage as Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai accepts The Women of the Year Fund Honoree Award on stage at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year Awards on Monday, in New York.
At star-packed Glamour awards, Malala steals show NEW YORK (AP) — There was a flamboyant pop star. A legendary singer. A TV star, some supermodels, and one of the world’s most powerful philanthropists. Even a former secretary of state who may soon be running for president. But of all the prominent women who appeared onstage Monday night at the Glamour Women of the Year awards, no one received more acclaim and adoration than a teenager whom no one had heard of little more than a year ago — 16-year-old Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai. “We love you, Malala!” shouted a group of young girls from a high balcony in Carnegie Hall, where the annual event was held. The teenager blew back a kiss, and proceeded to give an impassioned speech. “I believe the gun has no power at all,” said Malala, who caught the world’s attention when the Taliban shot her in the head in October 2012 for criticizing the group’s interpretation of Islam, which limits girls’ access to education. She has since gained global prominence, has started The Malala Fund to support education for girls, and recently released a memoir, “I Am Malala.”
“I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill,” she said. “But a pen can give life.” It wasn’t just the crowd that was taken with Malala; her fellow honorees referred to her often as they took the stage, and the night’s most flamboyant honoree, Lady Gaga, said she wished this month’s Glamour magazine cover, which features her, had been devoted to Malala instead. “If I could forfeit my Glamour cover I would give it to Malala,” she said. In a long and sometimes rambling speech, the pop singer, who sported a huge mane of frizzy white hair, a glistening white suit and her typically sky-high platform shoes, also said she thought she looked too artificially beautiful on that cover. “I do not look like that when I wake up in the morning,” she said. Gaga added that despite her huge fame, “my true talent is not the clothes, and not the music. I really feel that what I am best at is seeing the potential in other people.” She referred to her campaign against bullying among young people, and recalled the case of a young fan who committed suicide in 2011 after being bullied, Jamey Rodemeyer.

ANGOLA — The St. Francis of Assisi Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has started its second annual Christmas Tree Drive. Last year’s drive placed Christmas trees and decorations in the homes of 30 families that could not afford a tree of their own. “We went to some homes where the children had never had their own Christmas tree, and the look on their faces when the trees were put up and lit was unforgettable,” said president of the conference Eric A. Reynolds. Donations of Christmas trees, decorations or money will be accepted. A $2,500 donation from Stephen J.

MSD: Numerous people worked hard on new pact FROM PAGE A1
Pfafman said it is in keeping with the district’s available money. The agreement calls for a one-time $1,000 stipend for all teachers with a performance rating of effective or highly effective who worked at least 120 days last school year. Those teachers would also receive a $500 increase on their base salary levels. In the 2014-15 school year, the issue of salary and health insurance contributions will be revisited. Salary increases may be in the form of stipends, increases in salary or a combination of both. Because the state now requires raises to be based
on performance instead of longevity, salary scales built into the former contracts were frozen in 2012. Now, salaries can be elevated based on an eight-unit process that addresses evaluations, experience, education and attendance. The units would have a value, for instance $200, and would be awarded at the beginning of the year to augment salary. The evaluation — primarily conducted by the building principal — will provide four units for an effective rating and five units for a highly effective rating. Education will address those teachers
that hold higher degrees and those who receive continuing education. Brad Jones, who headed up the ACTA team, said the contracts are “fair and equitable for everybody.” His team included Dan Hochstedler, Laura Buell and Jim Savage. MSD’s negotiation team included Wilson, Pfafman, assistant principal Mike Christ, Angola High School Principal Travis Heavin and business manager Monte Van Gessel. The teachers ratified the contract on Nov. 3 after a tentative agreement was reached in a meeting Oct. 29.
PRAIRIES: Millions of conservation acres vanish FROM PAGE A1
an anti-global warming strategy if too many farmers plowed over virgin land. The Obama administration argued that would not happen. But the administration didn’t set up a way to monitor whether it actually happened. It did. More than 1.2 million acres of grassland have been lost since the federal government required that gasoline be blended with increasing amounts of ethanol, an Associated Press analysis of satellite data found. Plots that were wild grass or pastureland seven years ago are now corn and soybean fields. That’s in addition to the 5 million acres of farmland
that had been aside for conservation — more than Yellowstone, Everglades and Yosemite National Parks combined — that have vanished since Obama took office. In South Dakota, more than 370,000 acres of grassland have been uprooted and farmed from since 2006. In Edmunds County, a rural community about two hours north of the capital, Pierre, at least 42,000 acres of grassland have become cropland — one of the largest turnovers in the region. Malsam runs a 13-squaremile family farm there. He grows corn, soybeans and wheat, then rents out his grassland for grazing. Each year, the family converts
another 160 acres from grass to cropland. Chemicals kill the grass. Machines remove the rocks. Then tractors plow it three times to break up the sod and prepare it for planting. Scattered among fields of 7-foot tall corn and thigh-high soybeans, some stretches of grassland still exist. Cattle munch on some grass. And “prairie potholes” — natural ponds ranging from small pools to larger lakes — support a smattering of ducks, geese, pelicans and herons. Yet within a mile of Malsam’s farm, federal satellite data show, more than 300 acres of grassland have been converted to soybeans and corn since 2006.
become a partner in the operation. Moody and Crew planted 1,800 acres of cover crops this year with the assistance of the EQIP program. It is mainly a cash crop farm but it also provides feed for its approximately 1,500-head cattle operation. It has farm ground in many subwatersheds in Steuben County, including the Pigeon Creek, Fish Creek and West Branch watersheds. “The farmers care as much about the water as the lake property owners do,” said Franks. Sustainable farming will keep the farm ground and the lakes viable for the next generation, he said. When wet weather causes runoff, the nutrients that could be used for crops drain into area rivers and streams, and on to larger water bodies. Franks is one of 35 farmers in the Western Lake Erie Basin Producer Focus Group. Through it, he traveled to Lake Erie and saw first hand the effects of phosphorus in the lake environment, much of it likely due to excess materials leeching from farms. Cover crops slow erosion by providing plant material and roots to absorb moisture. Moody and Crew are using cereal rye and tillage radish, planted between rows of soybeans and corn around Labor Day using a modified sprayer converted into a broadcast seeder. In September, the main crops provide shade. As they mature for planting, their falling leaves provide a mulch that holds in moisture.
“It’s just like putting straw on a new seeding,” said Franks. The seeds germinate and grow quickly with the sun’s rays after the other crops are harvested. The radishes are “a great scavenger” for left-over fertilizers, said Franks. They use the excess fertilizer from the main crop, keeping it from flowing out of the field during rains. That includes manure spread as fertilizer from the Moody’s dairy farm and a neighboring dairy farm. When the plants die off after a couple of hard frosts, they organically return those nutrients to the soil for next year. Providing the proper nutrients for crops to flourish is one of the most expensive parts of a farm operation, said Franks. “The goal is that those cover crops will take (the nutrients) up and put them in a plant,” he said. “The last place we want those is in the water.” The radishes’ huge roots also loosen the ground and provide channels for water to filter into. “If we put that into the ground, that’s something we can use,” said Franks. The Natural Resources Conservation Service reports that in 2013 through Farm Bill programs, land owners in Steuben County signed up to plant 2,892.5 acres of cover crops. Through Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District programs like the Lake and River Enhancement program and Clean Water Indiana, an additional 537 acres of cover crops were planted. Steuben County is
progressive in its use of cover crops, said Kayleen Hart, administrative coordinator at the SWCD. The first grants for cover crop programs were distributed in 2009 in Steuben County, Hart said, and it has been increasing in use in Steuben and counties throughout the state. Along with no-till and cover crops, EQIP includes practices such as fencing, animal watering systems, pasture planting, wildlife habitat, erosion control structures, manure storage structures, crop and pest management and soil health practices. “We are also taking applications for several special landscape initiatives that target specific habitat or water quality resource concerns,” said State Conservationist Jane Hardisty. Included in this year’s sign up are the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, National Water Quality Initiative, Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative and Western Lake Erie Basin Initiative. “Targeting designated areas allows us to address specific natural resource concerns, and provides farmers with a less competitive option. Farmers applying for projects in the designated areas will not have to compete with the statewide EQIP applications, just those applying for each specific initiative,” Hardisty said. The targeted watersheds include areas of Steuben, Noble, DeKalb, Allen, Wells and Adams counties. Details are available from the SWCD, 665-3211, ext. 3.

like storm surges Friday. Most of the city is in ruins, a tangled mess of destroyed houses, cars and trees. Malls, garages and shops have all been stripped of food and water by hungry residents. The loss of life appears
to be concentrated in Tacloban and surrounding areas, including a portion of Samar island that is separated from Leyte island by a strait. It is possible that other devastated areas are so isolated they have not yet been reached.

assists of a triple-double, finishing with 22 points, and eight rebounds and assists. Harris had 20 points and Adreian Payne had 15 points and four rebounds. Julius Randle led the Wildcats (2-1) with 27 points — all but four in the second half — and 13 rebounds. Andrew Harrison had 11. But the Wildcats were hurt by early turnovers and they were just 20 of 36 from the free throw line. This was the earliest 1 vs. 2 match-up, and first since Feb. 23, 2008, when Tennessee beat top-ranked Memphis. The Tigers coach then? None other than John Calipari. This game had even more hype, mostly because of the Kiddie Cats. Much has been made of the youngsters, with good reason. The last time Calipari had a roster this star-studded, the Wildcats won a national title. And this group might be even more impressive. Six were McDonald’s All-Americans, and all are considered lottery picks in next summer’s NBA draft, with Randle a possibility for the overall No. 1. The youngsters did nothing to lessen the hype in their first two games, with Randle averaging 22.5 points and 15 rebounds, and the Harrison twins averaging in double figures. No wonder the game brought out scouts from almost every NBA team and celebrities including Nazr Mohammed and Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. But the Spartans aren’t exactly slouches, returning six of their top seven scorers. Just as important, big-time games like this are nothing new to them, with coach Tom Izzo routinely scheduling the likes of Connecticut, Duke, North Carolina and Kansas before Jan. 1. The experience showed early, as the Spartans harassed Kentucky relentlessly on both ends of the court. But Kentucky has too much talent to stay down for

Wings lose in shootout DETROIT (AP) — Devin Setoguchi and Andrew Ladd scored in the shootout to give the Winnipeg Jets a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. Bryan Little and Zach Bogosian scored for Winnipeg in regulation. Ondrej Pavelec made 41 saves. Pavel Datsyuk scored twice for Detroit. Jimmy Howard stopped 19 shots. Daniel Alfredsson scored in the shootout. Datsyuk’s second power-play goal of the game, with 6:49 remaining in the third, tied it 2-2. He stuffed one in from the side of the net for his ninth of the season. The goal came just after a Red Wings’ two-man advantage came to an end. Detroit outshot Winnipeg 16-2 in the third period. Bogosian gave Winnipeg a 2-1 lead with 9:13 left in the third period. He took a pass in the slot from center Olli Jokinen and moved to his right, made a move and put a shot past Howard from the right circle. It was Bogosian’s first goal of the season. Little opened the scoring 7:10 into the game with his 11th goal. He put in a one-time shot from the inside edge of the left circle off the rush on a cross-ice pass from
OLIVET, Mich. — Trine University rallied from a 41-27 deficit with 3 minutes, 20 seconds left in regulation time to win its first Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association game of the season Saturday, defeating Olivet 47-41 in overtime at the Comets’ Cutler Athletic Complex to snap a losing streak at five games. Freshman Frank Vuocolo scored the winning touchdown in overtime on a 4-yard run for the Thunder after Trine’s James Gregory picked off Olivet quarterback Braden Black to end the first possession of the extra session. Vuocolo ran for 21 yards on Trine’s first offensive play in overtime before scoring his third touchdown of the game. The Comets (6-3, 2-3 MIAA) took the 41-27 lead after a Black touchdown pass of 39 yards to Kyle Bryson with 3:20 to go in the fourth quarter. But the extra point kick was missed. Trine (4-5, 1-4) marched 65 yards on 12 plays in 2:12 to cut the deficit in half. Vuocolo capped it with a 3-yard touchdown run with 1:01 left. Tyler Keck kicked the extra point. Keck executed an onside kick that one of his teammates recovered, then the Thunder went 47 yards on six plays to draw even with Olivet. They scored on the final play of regulation on a fourth-down pass of 1 yard from freshman Brandon Rooze to Jared Barton. Keck kicked the extra point to tie the contest. Rooze threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns in his first collegiate start and had a big 34-yard pass to Anthony Yoder on the game-tying drive. Keck was named MIAA Special Teams Player of the Week for the third time this season and for the fourth time in his career. The senior placekicker from Elkhart made all five of his extra point kicks and averaged 54 yards per kickoff with two touchbacks in the Olivet game.

College Volleyball Searles makes Second Team All-MIAA ROYAL OAK, Mich. — Trine University junior setter Carly Searles was named to the All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Second Team this past weekend. Searles did a little bit of everything in leading the Thunder to their third straight MIAA Tournament berth. The Levering, Mich., native played in all 31 matches with 30 starts and averaged 8.63 assists per set. She led the team with 975 assists and shared the team lead with 40 aces.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Newberry (S.C.) College senior outside hitter Samantha Parrish of Angola was named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District 3 volleyball team last week. Parrish has led the NCAA Division II Wolves to a 17-9 record, including 11-8 in South Atlantic Conference play, heading into Tuesday’s home conference match with Anderson (S.C.). The English major has a team-leading 3.95 grade point average. District 3 covers the southeast region of the country for Division II. Six players made the all-academic team from that district and three of them were from Indiana. Parrish is the most prolific all-around player in the history of Newberry volleyball. Before Tuesday, she had a school-record 1,530 kills and is second in career digs with 1,609. She is in the top 10 in service aces with 126 and in total blocks with 212. She is the only Newberry spiker to rank in the top 10 in all four of those statistical categories.
College Wrestling Conner leads Trine in season-opening meet MUSKEGON, Mich. — Trine University opened its wrestling season in Muskegon Community College’s Ben McMullen Open Saturday. Sophomore Michael Conner led the Thunder by winning a 197-pound championship. The Zionsville native went 4-0 on the day and three of those victories came in overtime. Junior Brandon Preston wrestled up a weight class and was second at 141. He was 3-1. “Brandon wrestled well to get to the final,” Trine coach Dan Callahan said. “He was a little undersized.” Junior Mack Green was third in the heavyweight class and was 3-1 on the day. His loss came in the semifinals in double overtime to the eventual champion. “We had some other guys win matches,” Callahan said. “We’re a young team and we got some experience.” Trine will host an open tournament this coming Saturday, starting at 9 a.m.

Miami Heat roll past Milwaukee, 118-95 MIAMI (AP) — The defensive effort was closer to Miami Heat standards. LeBron James made it difficult to notice anything but offense. James scored 33 points on 13 for 21 shooting — with an array of post-up moves getting him going early, then a barrage of 3-pointers fueling a big third-quarter push — and the Heat encountered little trouble on the way to a 118-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. James scored 17 points in the third quarter, his best 12-minute
stretch of the season so far and an indicator that a balky back that slowed him in the season’s first couple weeks is improving. “It’s getting better,” James said. “It feels a lot better. Still a little sore … getting a lot of work put on it so I can get to 100 percent. But it’s getting better every day and that’s a good thing.” Michael Beasley scored 19 points and Mario Chalmers finished with 15 points and seven assists for the Heat, whose biggest victory margin before Tuesday was a 12-point triumph over Chicago on opening night.
Chris Bosh scored 10 for Miami (5-3). Miami played without Udonis Haslem (back) and Ray Allen (ill). Shane Battier started in Haslem’s place. “It wasn’t perfect,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, whose team was coming off a final-second loss to Boston on Saturday. “There were still some areas we definitely need to improve on, in terms of the details and discipline. But at least the effort, the effort, the activity was better, the disposition right from the beginning and it carried through once
we got into the rotation. Guys were much more focused and bringing that competitive spirit.” John Henson and Gary Neal each scored 18 points and Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 11 for Milwaukee — all three of them putting up those points off the Bucks’ bench. Caron Butler was the only double-digit-scoring starter for the Bucks (2-4), finishing with 10. “They shot almost 60 percent today so there’s no way we can win a game like that,” Henson said. “We just have to get better.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Chiefs receiver Bowe arrested RIVERSIDE, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was arrested outside Kansas City over the weekend on charges of speeding and possessing marijuana, throwing his status for a pivotal AFC West showdown against the Denver Broncos into question. Bowe was pulled over for going about 48 mph in a 35 mph zone, police in suburban Riverside said Tuesday. Police said an officer smelled “a strong odor of marijuana from inside of the vehicle,” and asked Bowe and two passengers to get out of the car. Police then used a dog to search for illegal substances and found a bag with Bowe’s wallet and two containers holding what the officer suspected was marijuana. One container held 6.6 grams of the substance, and the other had 3.8 grams, or about one-third of an ounce in all. Bowe was cited for speeding and possession of a controlled substance, police said. He posted $750 bond and is scheduled to appear in Riverside court on Dec. 18. Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews said the team was aware of the situation but declined further comment. Bowe’s agent, Todd France, did not return a message seeking comment. It’s unclear whether Bowe will be available for Sunday’s game. While penalties have varied, Commissioner Roger Goodell historically has suspended players one game without pay and fined them an additional game check for possession of marijuana, once the case is finalized.
13 baseball free agents turn down qualifying offers ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Baseball’s annual gathering of general managers began Monday when $14.1 million qualifying offers were turned down by all 13 free agents who received them from their former teams, a group that included Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli and Stephen Drew of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox. Three New York Yankees also said no thanks: Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Hiroki Kuroda. The others turning down the offers were Atlanta’s Brian McCann, Cincinnati’s Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland’s Ubaldo Jimenez, Kansas City’s Ervin Santana, St. Louis’ Carlos Beltran, Seattle’s Kendrys Morales and Texas’ Nelson Cruz. “I don’t think it’s that particularly surprising that all the offers were turned down across baseball,” Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said. New York Mets GM Sandy Alderson interpreted the turndowns as an indicator a bull market is possible. “That ought to tell you a little bit about their expectations,” he said. If a player who turned down the offer signs with a new team, his former club would receive an extra amateur draft pick at the end of the first round next June. All 22 players given qualifying offers have said no during two offseasons under the new system.
Byrd, Phillies close in on deal ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Marlon Byrd and the Philadelphia Phillies closed in Tuesday on a $16 million, two-year contract, a deal that would come less than a year after he was playing in Mexico’s winter league. A person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday an agreement could be put in place soon. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. A 36-year-old outfielder, Byrd hit a career-high 24 homers for the New York Mets and Pittsburgh, which acquired him on Aug. 27. He batted .364 with one homer and five RBIs in six postseason games after hitting .291 during the season with 88 RBIs, one short of his career best. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. declined comment. “If you don’t want to give up your first-round pick, Marlon Byrd is arguably the best available outfield bat,” Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said. “We feared he was out of our price range immediately. We stayed engaged in the process, and Marlon and his agents talked about wanting to come back to Pittsburgh. He loved his time there. The environment and playing for a winner and playing in front of that fan base was something that really intrigued him.” A career .280 hitter with 106 homers and 533 RBIs, Byrd was released by Boston in June 2012, then given a 50-game suspension 11 days later following a positive test for Tamoxifen, which can reduce side effects of steroid use and increase testosterone.
Valparaiso lets Carlson go VALPARAISO (AP) — Valparaiso football coach Dale Carlson was fired on Sunday, a day after the Crusaders lost 72-12 to Butler. Athletic director Mark LaBarbera announced the move Sunday in a news release. Carlson was in his fourth season leading the Valpo program and departs with a 3-40 record. The Crusaders are 1-9 and 1-6 in the Pioneer League. Carlson was the first football coach at Ohio Dominican and Tri-State universities. Tri-State is now called Trine University. He led the Thunder to 47 wins and two NAIA playoff appearances from 1994 to 2002. Assistant head coach Mike Gravier will serve as interim coach for Valpo’s season finale at home against Dayton on Saturday.

My new Internet friend I have made a new Internet friend. His name is Mailer Daemon. Faithful readers will remember this is not my first technological friend. I have a friend named Dave who calls me incessantly to remind me when my medicine is ready to be picked up. I talk to Dave more frequently than anyone else in my life (which is a sad commentary on both my social life and the amount of sustainable medications I require to remain afloat). MATT Anyway, every morning for the last couple of GETTS weeks I wake to find that Mailer Daemon (plain old “Daemon” to his friends) has written me a multitude of emails. All of them, at least so far, have been to tell me that emails I have sent to various people from my account were not able to be sent because the address I sent them to did not exist. Over the last six or In an effort to express seven days, there have my appreciation for been maybe a hundred such his heart-felt sentiment corresponregarding my emails dences. and their lack of And to my knowledge, delivery, I decided to I haven’t email him back. knowingly sent any of these emails in the first place. None of the addresses in these emails is in my address book. So one of two things is happening. The first option is that in my sleep I am sending emails to random people. I would not discount this option offhand. My mind, uh, isn’t what it used to be. At least I don’t think it is. The second option is that somebody has hijacked my email account and is now sending spam emails or viruses from me. This is not good. On the bright side, this is not happening behind my back. My good friend Daemon is continuously letting me know this is happening. I appreciate his concern for my well-being. The messages from Daemon are consistent: “I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.” What a great guy. His talk of fear and his apologetic nature bespeak a man in touch with his feelings. In an effort to express my appreciation for his heart-felt sentiment regarding my emails and their lack of delivery, I decided to email him back. I wrote (quite eloquently if I do say so myself): “I did not send this.” Obviously, I want to impress my new friend. I didn’t want Daemon to think I send so many emails to people who don’t get them. The cold, calculated response I got back: “Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently …” Sigh. Just like my friend Dave. After the first 20 or so times Dave called to tell me my funny-writing medicine was ready, I quit trying to strike up a conversation with him. He never told me how his family was or how work was going. Dave is a guy big on personal privacy. I like that in a friend. I may email Daemon and give him Dave’s phone number. I really think they’d hit it off.

Letters to The Editor • Let the people decide on same-sex marriage To the editor: Referencing David Powers’ letter Nov 10. Mr. Powers, in your article I kept reading “me-me-me.” Not once did I read about how the constituents want Mr. Smaltz to vote on HJR6. This is why I didn’t vote for you, you don’t seem to care what the district people desire, this seems to be about what you believe, what you want and if someone differs, they don’t belong. I appreciate that Mr. Smaltz has not decided an opinion yet, or at least vocalized it. He isn’t voting on this as an individual, he is supposed to be voting as an elected official, for the people he represents. I want him to fully understand the bill before voting, to ask his constituents what they think before deciding how to vote, and a referendum is the best choice in my opinion. Let the people decide, isn’t that the most basic of conservative principles? It was your statement, “Especially since the very definition of marriage as between one man and one woman provides not only for the structure of family and children but also speaks to the very foundation of a free society” that really made me pay attention. The very foundation of our free society is now based upon one woman and one man being married? Not a foundation of personal rights, not a foundation of equal rights, not even a foundation of law, only a marriage between a man and a woman. Allowing same-sex marriage is going to result in a “non free” society and all my individual rights will cease? Your definition of marriage provides for the ONLY structure of family? The years that I raised my children as a single parent, we were not a structured family? I will never understand why so many conservatives fear change except you fear others not being controlled. Irony, conservatism is supposed to be about individual choices, individual rights … or is it only conservatism when they agree with your thoughts?
Society is changing, you can be part of the change, or be left behind. I hope Hoosiers are willing to put fear aside and consider what examples we have become for our youth, the ones seeking the change. I would like if our youth would speak out on this topic instead of just the elder generations. Dave Rodecap Auburn
Voters prefer campaigns based on issues, policies, not negativity To the editor: I would like respond to David Powers’ remarks in the letter published on Sunday Nov. 10. The DeKalb County Republican Party’s goals are to provide the people of DeKalb County with quality conservative candidates for elected offices. Our mantra is “Promoting the highest possible standards in public service.” Mr. Powers’ letter attacking a respected elected official and the county Republican Party in the manner and tone he used is disturbing and does not reflect the high standards our party expects, especially from one who desires to hold public office. Mr. Powers references “the Republican godfathers” and “establishment Republican kingmakers of the Republican Party.” The DeKalb County Republican Party welcomes all Republican candidates and does not endorse any particular candidate during a primary. The people of DeKalb County and voters of House District 52, not “the godfathers” or “kingmakers,” chose Ben Smaltz in the primary with 66 percent of the vote in a four-way race. (Mr. Powers garnered second place with 17 percent.) Should Mr. Powers choose again to enter his name as a candidate, I would like to remind him, and any other candidate, that the voters of DeKalb County would prefer a campaign based on issues, policies and what the candidate
has to offer instead of negativity, personal attacks and one based on the tone in which he prefers to write. We prefer and expect candidates who also believe in higher standards. Thank you. Brad McDaniel Chairman, DeKalb County Republican Party
Voters will smile when voting for Smaltz in next election To the editor: I recently read the latest attack on Ben Smaltz by Mr. David Powers and have had enough. Mr. Powers is great at a few things. He likes to attack without substance, he likes to offer no solutions to the issues that hamper the state, and he is what he called Mr. Smaltz, a coward. I attended the counting of the ballots and was there when it was confirmed that Mr. Smaltz won the election by a amazingly large margin over Mr. Powers. I also noticed that Mr. Powers hightailed it to the door without even doing what a man of his claimed stature would do, that is congratulate Mr. Smaltz. That is the definition of a coward. I have talked to Mr. Smaltz on countless occasions. He takes the time, and he delivers the answers. He is not without a plan like Mr. Powers. Mr. Smaltz answers questions. He knows what Auburn and District 52 need. These are the type of politicians this country needs. People with a plan, and the ability to execute the plan. Not someone that is living by his past failures. I’m proud that Mr. Smaltz doesn’t define what Mr. Powers is. A typical politician. A politician that likes to attack then hide behind the disingenuous print of his disdain. Auburn has proved that it is better than what Mr. Powers can deliver and they proved it in the last election. I know that my peers will be smiling when they vote for Mr. Smaltz in the next election. They see through the charade of reality that Mr. Powers is living in. Glen Bailey Leo
Farm Bill threatens citizens’ right to know BY PATRICE MCDERMOTT
Families who live near or share waterways with large corporate farms or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have a critical need to know some basic facts about these operations. The public’s right to this information, however, could be stripped away by the Farm Bill under debate in Congress. Negotiators from the House and Senate are meeting to try to develop a compromise between the House-passed version of the Farm Bill and what was passed by the Senate. Among the differences between the bills, the House’s version includes language that unnecessarily cuts off public access to basic information about livestock and agricultural operations. We understand that the House’s intent is to make sure that the government does not release farmers’ personal information. But, there are two major problems with the way that the House’s approach to this: one, the language ignores that the law already includes strong protections for personal privacy; and two, the language is so broad that it wraps up information about corporate farms with small farm operations. Earlier this year the Environmental
Protection Agency released the information of around 80,000 livestock operations across the country to environmental groups. After hearing from affected farmers and members of Congress, the EPA determined that it improperly released personal information. The EPA asked that the requesters return the information and the requesters complied, agreeing to return the original documents and destroy all copies of the information in their possession. In other words, the EPA determined that existing protections for personal privacy should have prevented them from releasing this information in the first place. Beyond being an over-reaction to the controversy surrounding the EPA’s actions, the House’s language sets a terrible precedent for extending the Freedom of Information Act’s personal privacy protections to corporations. The House’s failure to define “owners” or “operators” means that the EPA will be required to deny members of the public access to not only small family operations but to large corporate operations as well. In a recent Supreme Court case, FEC vs. ATT, the Court ruled that Congress never intended for corporations to enjoy such protections under the FOIA. To extend these

Putin promises to increase military help to Vietnam HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that his country will expand its military supplies to Vietnam, as he held talks with his Vietnamese counterpart to boost ties between the former ideological allies. Military and energy cooperation topped the agenda during the talks between Putin and Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang. “We have had specific discussions on military cooperation,” Putin, who was on a one-day visit, told reporters via a translator in a joint press briefing in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital. “We plan to expand the supplies of Russian military products to Vietnam.” Russia remains the main supplier of military hardware to Vietnam, and plans are being worked out to produce some military equipment in the Southeast Asian country with assistance from Russian companies. Last week, Russia handed over the first of six diesel-electric Kilo Class submarines in a deal signed in 2009. The two presidents witnessed the signing of more than a dozen agreements covering military, oil and gas, education and health care cooperation.
American Airlines, US airways will be allowed to merge WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department says it has reached an agreement to allow American Airlines and US Airways to merge, creating the world’s biggest airline. The agreement requires the airlines to scale back the size of the merger at Washington’s Reagan National Airport and in other big cities. In August, the government sued to block the merger, saying it would restrict competition and drive up prices for consumers on hundreds of routes around the country. The airlines have said their deal would increase competition by creating another big competitor to United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, which grew through recent mergers. The settlement reached Tuesday would require approval by a federal judge in Washington and eliminate the need for a trial that had been set to begin Nov. 25. It would require American and US Airways to give up takeoff and landing rights or slots at Reagan National and New York’s LaGuardia Airport and gates at airports in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami to low-cost carriers.
Pianist in Spain may be prosecuted for practicing MADRID (AP) — To most people, noise pollution is a jet engine roaring over their head. For one Spanish woman, it was a neighbor playing the piano more softly than a spoken conversation. The woman has taken her neighbors in the apartment below — a 27-year-old pianist and her parents — to court. Now prosecutors want to send all three to jail for over seven years on charges of psychological damage and noise pollution. Neighbors often complain about street and bar noise in Spain, but prosecutors seeking jail time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of — especially since that musician is now a professional concert pianist. At the trial in the northeastern city of Gerona, Sonia Bosom claimed she suffered noise pollution from 2003 to 2007 due to the five-days-a-week, eight-hour practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lived below her in the northeastern town of Puigcerda.

Antony Wood, executive director of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat announces Tuesday that New York City’s One World Trade Center, right, will become the tallest building in the United States upon completion,
dethroning Chicago’s Willis Tower. The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said the needle atop the skyscraper is not an antenna but a spire, and thus is a permanent part of the building.
New World Trade Center to become nation’s tallest CHICAGO (AP) — The new World Trade Center tower in New York will replace Chicago’s Willis Tower as the nation’s tallest building when it is completed next year, an international panel of architects announced Tuesday. The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said that because the needle atop the New York skyscraper is a permanent spire and not an antenna it can be counted when measuring the structure’s height. The needle, measuring 408 feet tall, was more than enough to confirm Chicago is the Second City when it comes to tall buildings. With the needle, 1 World Trade Center is a symbolically important 1,776 feet tall. Without it, the building would have been only 1,368 feet tall — well short of the
1,451-foot Willis Tower. At stake was more than just the pride of two cities that feast on superlatives and the tourist dollars that might follow: 1 World Trade Center, with its beacon on top will stand as a monument to those killed in the 9/11 attacks, and its architects had sought to capture the echo of America’s founding year in the structure’s height. Not only that, but the building’s height without the needle also holds symbolism because at 1,368 feet it is the height of the original World Trade Center. Antony Wood, the council’s executive director, said the needle is particularly important as a “structural and symbolic element.” Further, he said, the decision to put the spire atop the building was part of a ‘quest” to build a permanent
reminder of what the nation went through. “This was not an economic quest for bragging rights to the U.S.’s tallest,’ he said. “This was a quest to put something meaningful and symbolic on that site because of the horrible history of what happened on that site.” He said the antennae on top of the Willis Tower help to make the committee’s point about permanence, explaining that when the building went up there were no antennae, and that the original antennae have been replaced with taller ones. Wood also made another point that, though not a factor on the committee’s decision, is significant: that the Willis Tower will continue to be an attraction for years just like the Empire State Building is decades after it, too, was eclipsed by taller buildings.
NEW YORK (AP) — Last Thanksgiving Day, Kimberly Mudge Via’s mother, sister and nieces left in the middle of their meals to head for the mall. Now, Via says she’ll never host Thanksgiving dinner for her relatives again. “They barely finished,” says the 28-year-old who lives in Boone, N.C. “They thanked me and left their plates on the counter.” That scene could become more common in homes across the country. Black Friday shopping, the annual rite of passage on the day after Thanksgiving, continues to creep further into the holiday as more stores open their doors a day early. It’s a break with tradition. Black Friday, which typically is the year’s biggest shopping day, for a decade has been considered the official start to the busy holiday buying season. Stores open in the wee hours of the morning with special deals called doorbusters and stay open late into the evening. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving and Christmas remained the only two days a year that stores were closed. Now Thanksgiving is slowly becoming just another shopping day. Over the past few years, major retailers, including Target and Toys R Us, slowly have pushed opening times into Thanksgiving night to one-up each other and compete for holiday dollars. Some initially resisted, saying that they wanted their employees to be able to spend time with their families. This year, more than a
dozen major retailers are opening on Thanksgiving, including a handful like Macy’s, J.C. Penney and Staples that are doing it for the first time. The Gap, which operates its Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic, is opening half of its stores on Thanksgiving morning. Retailers say they’re just doing what shoppers want. And they know that opening earlier gives them a chance to be the first to grab shoppers’ dollars. That’s an important opportunity for chains, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the last two months of the year. But so far, it’s unclear whether opening on Thanksgiving boosts retailers’ top line or simply pushes forward sales from Friday. Last year, it was the latter: Sales on Thanksgiving were $810 million last year, an increase of 55 percent from the previous year as more stores opened on the holiday, according to Chicago research firm ShopperTrak. But business dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion on Black Friday, though it still was the biggest shopping day last year. That day accounted for about 4.3 percent of holiday sales last year. “Customers clearly showed that they wanted to be out shopping much earlier on Thanksgiving,” Amy von Walter, a spokeswoman for Best Buy, which moved up its opening this year to 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving from midnight on Black Friday in 2012. “Our plan this holiday is a direct result of that feedback.”
Kidnappings now commonplace in Lebanon BEIRUT (AP) — For nearly three weeks, kidnappers held Lebanese pharmacist Wissam Khatib, threatening to kill him and his children if his family didn’t pay a ransom of tens of thousands of dollars. During his captivity, Khatib — often shackled and blindfolded — went through depression, terror, pain. But, he says, the trauma was not a surprise. A well-to-do pharmacist in the eastern Lebanese city of Zahleh, the 40-yearold Khatib knew he was a target. He had escaped one kidnapping attempt in August, when he saw masked gunmen approaching his pharmacy and fled before they saw him. He expected them to return, knowing that Lebanon’s weak security forces couldn’t help him. “The state knew, security forces knew, but they didn’t help me at all,” Khatib told The Associated Press. Hostage-taking of wealthy businessmen in Lebanon has risen more
than seven-fold in an unlikely knock-on effect from Syria’s civil war. Security officials say gangs who once made their money smuggling fuel and contraband through the porous Syria-Lebanon border have watched their trade wither because of the violence, so they are turning to kidnapping to make a profit. Lebanon is suffering multiple woes from the war next door. The tiny country, with a population of 4.5 million, has been flooded with an estimated 1 million Syrians fleeing the conflict. Also, tensions between its Sunni and Shiite communities have spiked, sometimes exploding into deadly clashes, mirroring the sectarian hatreds in Syria, where Sunnis largely support the rebellion, and Shiites and the Alawite sect — an offshoot of Shiism — back President Bashar Assad. In the latest violence, a Sunni sheik, Saad El-Deen Ghieh, was shot to death in his car Tuesday by gunmen in the northern city of Tripoli, scene of frequent
Peace talks in peril JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s Housing Ministry said Tuesday it has launched plans for potential construction of thousands of new homes the West Bank, including development of a contentious area outside of Jerusalem, prompting a Palestinian threat to walk out of Mideast peace talks. It was the latest blow to the U.S.-brokered peace talks, which have made no visible progress since they were launched over the summer and have become deadlocked amid disputes over Israeli settlement construction. U.S. officials said they were blindsided
by the Israeli announcement and demanded an explanation. Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, said he had called the United States, Russia, the European Union, the United Nations and the Arab League to voice his objections. “I informed them that if Israel implements this decision, then this means the end of the negotiations and the end of the peace process,” Erekat said. The Palestinians claim the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in 1967, for an independent state.

Expressing gratitude never goes out of style DEAR ABBY: With the holidays approaching, a reminder is in order. People: Don’t forget those thank-you notes! I don’t mean an email, but a REAL, honest-to-gosh thank-you note sent through the mail with postage. My mother always told me that a gift is not truly yours until a proper thank you has been sent. She said it “completed the transfer.” I was not allowed to play with the item or use it until that note was written. This is especially true for young people today, who seemingly were not taught this in school or by their parents. Very young children can draw a picture, and the parent can add a line to say it was drawn to express thanks. As the child matures, he/she can use his/ her own words of gratitude. I can’t tell you how many parents comment on the absence of this display of etiquette. Good manners

sent. Some of the writers say they are so hurt and offended that they will stop giving gifts because they were left hanging, wondering if their gift was ever received. The problem may be that many parents no longer insist their children practice this courtesy, so the kids never learn how to do it. Chief among the reasons that thank-you notes aren’t sent is that many people don’t know what to say. They think the note has to be a long, flowery composition when, in fact, short and to the point is more effective. Keeping a notepad handy when opening gifts and immediately taking a moment to jot down the first thought that comes to mind is helpful. (Example: Do you like the color? The style? Is it something you had been looking for and couldn’t find? Is it a special homemade treat? Mmmm.) WRITE IT DOWN.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is the best way to get rid of warts? DEAR READER: Getting rid of warts can be a challenge. Fortunately, the more effective treatments are the simplest. Warts occur when skin cells grow faster than normal because they are infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts aren’t highly contagious, but they can spread from person to person by direct contact, mainly through breaks in the skin. Warts on one part of the body can also spread to other areas. Warts are generally harmless and often disappear on their own over time. As I write this column, I’m watching a wart on my foot get smaller with no treatment and hoping it will just disappear. So “watchful waiting” is definitely an option for new warts.
are never out of date. They are noticed and appreciated. From time to time I have seen you mention your booklet on “How to Write Letters.” If it includes a section on thank-you notes, I’m sure it would be helpful DEAR to a lot of in ABBY people the next two months. — ELINOR IN Jeanne Phillips SURPRISE, ARIZ. DEAR ELINOR: The booklet does. Not a day goes by that I don’t receive letters and emails from readers who are upset enough to write because they haven’t received a thank-you note for a birthday, graduation, wedding or holiday gift they
(cryotherapy), a clinician swabs or sprays liquid nitrogen onto the wart. The extreme cold burns the skin, causing pain, redness and usually a blister. Getting rid of the wart can take three or four treatments, although it’s sometimes successful with just one. • Various other solutions that “kill” warts can be applied by the doctor. They all have strange names: imiquimod, cantharidin, tretinoin, 5-fluorouracil. Don’t try to pronounce them — that’s one of the things you pay your doctor to do. Warts that don’t respond to standard therapies may need treatment with prescription drugs or with a “zapping and cutting” procedure done under local anesthesia. DR.

Medicaid rare overhaul success GOP poised to WASHINGTON (AP) — The ugly duckling of government health care programs has turned into a rare early success story for President Barack Obama’s technologically challenged health overhaul. Often criticized for byzantine rules and skimpy payments, Medicaid has signed up 444,000 people in 10 states in the six weeks since open enrollment began, according to Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. Twenty-five states are expanding their Medicaid programs, but data for all of them was not available. Meanwhile, private plans offered through troublesome online markets are expected to have enrolled a far smaller number of people. The Obama administration plans to release October enrollment statistics this week, but publicly available figures already provide a contrast between a robust start for Medicaid expansion and lukewarm early signups for new, government-subsidized private plans offered separately under the law. “Medicaid is exceeding expectations in most places,� said Dan Mendelson, Avalere’s president. “It is definitely a bright picture in states that have chosen to expand.� A big reason for the disparity: In 36 states, the new private plans are being offered through a malfunctioning federal website that continues to confound potential customers. And state-run websites have not been uniformly glitch-free. Obama’s health care law melded two approaches to advance its goal of broader insurance coverage. Middleclass people with no access to job-based coverage are

AP
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, right, with Sue Birch, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, center, speak with an attendee of a news conference earlier this year where Hickenlooper announced a plan to expand Medicaid
offered subsidized private plans, while low-income people are steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states accepting it. Starting Jan. 1, the law expands Medicaid eligibility to those with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level — $15,856 for an individual or $32,499 for a family of four. The Supreme Court gave states the right to opt out of the expansion, which is fully financed by Washington for the first three years, gradually phasing down to a 90 percent federal share. At present, 25 states and the District of Columbia have accepted the Medicaid expansion, which is strongly

supported by state hospital associations, medical groups and advocates for the poor. Its main beneficiaries are expected to be low-income adults with no children living at home. The White House is promoting the expansion. In a visit to Louisiana last week, Obama chided Republican leaders in the states who have turned thumbs down so far. In the audience was GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal, who was not swayed. If the expansion is seen as a success, that could motivate supporters in states like Virginia, which just elected Democrat Terry McAuliffe to replace a GOP governor reluctant to widen the scope of government.
Another key state is Florida, where GOP Gov. Rick Scott abandoned expansion efforts after hitting stiff opposition in the legislature. An estimated 1.3 million Floridians could qualify. Avalere’s statistic of at least 444,000 new Medicaid enrollees comes from 10 of the 25 states that accepted the expansion, so it only represents a partial count. Those numbers may also include some individuals eligible for Medicaid under current rules. In Colorado, Medicaid applications in October were six to nine times what they were the month before, said Sue Birch, who heads the state’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans seemed ready to block another of President Barack Obama’s picks for one of the nation’s top courts on Tuesday, the latest skirmish in a nominations battle that has intensified partisan tensions in the Senate. Senators planned to vote on Obama’s selection of Georgetown University law professor Cornelia Pillard to fill one of three vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Majority Democrats were expected to fall short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a GOP procedural blockade against Pillard’s nomination. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the vote on Pillard “a political exercise designed to distract the American people from the mess that is Obamacare,� a reference to the 2010 health care law that is getting off to a troubled start. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Republicans were making “cynical arguments in an effort to maintain an ideological edge� among judges on the D.C. circuit. The D.C. circuit’s eight current judges are evenly divided between those appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the GOP was blocking approval
of “yet another talented female jurist.� Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, called that argument “offensive,� adding that Democrats’ “last line of defense is to accuse Republicans of opposing nominees based upon gender or race.� Democrats have been threatening that if Republicans continue derailing Obama’s nominations, they might unilaterally rewrite Senate rules to make it harder for the chamber’s minority party to do that. It is unclear that Democrats have enough votes to do so, with some senior lawmakers warning that the change would boomerang against them should the GOP recapture the Senate majority and the White House. The D.C. circuit court is generally considered second in clout only to the Supreme Court. It rules on White House and federal agency actions, and some of its judges customarily have been elevated to Supreme Court justices. Republicans have accused Obama of trying to tilt the court’s balance in his direction to protect the fate of his administration’s policies. They say the D.C. circuit has a lighter caseload than other districts, and have proposed legislation eliminating one of its vacant judgeships and moving the two others to busier circuits.
Low earnings slow market US may be drawn into Morocco-Algeria dispute NEW YORK (AP) — Disappointing company earnings and falling oil prices pulled stocks back from record highs on Tuesday. NRG Energy slumped after the company lowered its earnings forecast, leading other power companies lower. News Corp. fell after the media company posted an unexpected revenue decline due to weakness at its Australian newspapers. Energy stocks declined after oil dropped to a five-month low. Winners included airlines. The gains were led by JetBlue Airways after the Justice Department said it cleared the way for American Airlines and US Airways to merge, creating the world’s biggest airline. This year’s 24 percent surge in the stock market has slowed
in November. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has edged up 0.6 percent this month after an average monthly increase of 1.7 percent in the previous 10 months. “The market looks tired to us,� said Jim Russell, a regional investment director at US Bank. “A little bit of a pause is actually healthy,� allowing the economy time to catch up to the gains the stock market has made. After closing at an all-time high on three of the previous four trading days, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 32.43 points, or 0.2 percent, to 15,750.67. The S&P 500 index dropped 4.20 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,767.69 points. The Nasdaq composite edged up 0.13 point to 3,919.92. Six of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500
index fell. Banks and utilities slid the most. NRG Energy was one of the biggest decliners in the S&P 500, slipping 98 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $27.06. News Corp. fell 27 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $17.15. Energy stocks fell broadly. Pioneer Natural Resources, an oil exploration company, dropped $5.63, or 3 percent, to $182.70. Chevron lost $1.20, or 0.9 percent, to $120. Stocks have climbed this year as the Federal Reserve has maintained its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and hiring. Now, investors may start focusing more on an improving economy rather than the future of the Fed’s economic stimulus program.
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — A Saharan stand-off may become a U.S. problem. A nasty spat between Algeria and Morocco over the disputed region of Western Sahara has boiled over anew, as Morocco recalled its ambassador, angry protesters tore down an Algerian flag, and a Moroccan magazine called for land grabs. When Morocco’s King Mohammed VI meets with President Barack Obama during his visit to the U.S. next week, the monarch will be looking for greater U.S. support as Morocco feuds with regional rival Algeria. The neighbors are jockeying for position in
a dispute that leaves little space for the cooperation against al-Qaida in North Africa that Washington and its allies want. Last month, Morocco temporarily recalled its ambassador — a major escalation that one former Algerian diplomat called an attempt to gain U.S. backing for its claim to Western Sahara. “It was surprising and disproportionate,� Abdelaziz Rahabi told The Associated Press, arguing the move was designed to dominate the scheduled visit of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry this week that has since been postponed. The U.S. priority in the region, however, has increas-

ingly focused on fighting terrorism, with al-Qaida’s North Africa branch morphing into a Sahara-spanning organization with an elusive presence from the borders of Morocco to Libya. With the two most powerful militaries in the region at each other’s throats, building any kind of regional cooperation — especially to support weaker states like Niger, Mauritania and Chad — has been impossible. Morocco has proposed wide-ranging autonomy for Western Sahara, but the Polisario Front, the pro-independence nationalist movement, insists that local people have the right to a referendum.
