Legislature fuels highway budget increase GOOD MORNING Former Indiana first lady remarries CORYDON (AP) — Former Indiana first lady Judy O’Bannon has remarried more than a decade after losing her husband, then-Gov. Frank O’Bannon, to a stroke. O’Bannon wed retired Indianapolis attorney Donald Willsey in a Friday ceremony held in a former log barn at the O’Bannon family’s farm in Corydon some 25 miles west of Louisville, Ky. O’Bannon tells The Indianapolis Star the ceremony was “an acknowledgement of our families coming together.” She wore wear a vintage dress her mother made and a garnet-studded wedding ring that cost just $18 at an antique mall. The 78-year-old O’Bannon and 84-year-old Willsey were fixed up by mutual friends two years ago, a year after Willsey’s first wife died of cancer. Gov. Frank O’Bannon died in 2003 following 47 years of marriage to Judy O’Bannon.
Obama helps support small business WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is doing his part to support small businesses. Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha dropped in Saturday at Washington’s Politics and Prose bookstore and purchased what he said was a “long list” of books that included “The Kite Runner,” ”Harold and the Purple Crayon,” and “The Sports Gene.” The president said he bought a reader for every age, from 5 to 52 — his age. He paid by credit card. The total was not announced. Obama sent a tweet earlier Saturday about the importance of supporting small businesses. The Saturday after Thanksgiving has become known as “Small Business Saturday.” It’s designed to drive business to mom and pop shops between the whirlwind of Black Friday sales offered by large retailers and Cyber Monday deals from online sellers.

How county highway departments plan to use additional money BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
The Indiana Legislature’s increase of infrastructure funding by $200 million per year has been welcomed by DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben county highway superintendents, who will receive a combined $1.7 million more in the first year of the law.
The additional road and infrastructure appropriations came when the Legislature passed the state’s $30 billion budget. A total of $400 million reportedly will be set aside over the next two years for future transportation needs. The money comes from Motor Vehicle Highway funds derived from gas taxes collected from motorists. Here is how each county will spend its additional allocation:
DeKalb County DeKalb County Highway Department Superintendent
Eric Patton will receive some $300,000-$400,000 extra from the Legislature for each of the next few years. “What we’ll try to do is increase our chip-and-seal,” he said about the 730 miles roads his department maintains — including 360 miles of gravel roads. In particular, he said, DeKalb roads such as C.R. 19 north of S.R. 8 and C.R. 56 are in need of attention. “We’ll try to increase our road striping,” he said. Still, receiving any extra funding unexpectedly helps, he said.
“Something people don’t realize is the cuts to highways,” Patton said. He figured he’s set on road salt, depending on Mother Nature’s ways this year, with a surplus of 600 tons mixed with sand left over from last year and the chance to order 1,000 more tons, if needed.
LaGrange County Jeff Brill, LaGrange County Highway Department superintendent, said he has no major plans on how to spend an added SEE HIGHWAY, PAGE A8
Santa surprises local family Eight Family receives unexpected gifts
Right, Chase Witherby displays several toys he received from Santa in the mail recently. He and his brother, Carson, have been getting gifts regularly since Chase sent a letter to Santa asking for gifts. Below, Witherby mails a letter to Santa Claus in September at his Angola home.
BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — The holidays can be a magical time for children. A little thing can put a twinkle in a child’s eyes and make memories that will last a lifetime. Santa Claus, of course, is the epitome of Christmas magic — and it seems one local family has become a favorite of the jolly old elf. Chase Witherby, 9, has good days and bad days. Chase is severely autistic and currently going through therapy and being home-schooled by his mother, Holly. They were shopping one day and Chase saw a Woody doll from the Disney “Toy Story” movies that he wanted. Holly told him to wait for Christmas, “but he really doesn’t understand,” she said. At home, her husband, Mike, wrote a letter to Santa for Chase, who signed the paper and put it in an envelope to mail to the North Pole. Sept. 19, Holly posted on Facebook a picture of Chase at the mailbox and wrote: “Chase ‘mailing’ his letter to Santa with the 2 toys he wants, the problem is, it’s going to be a LONG 14 weeks until Santa brings the toys … I will need prayed for the next 14 weeks!! He doesn’t understand waiting that long for a reinforcer.” Then, on Sept. 24, along with a picture of a letter with a red graphic of Santa Claus in the upper corner, she wrote: “So, last week Chase ‘mailed’ a letter to Santa, Mike wrote what Chase wanted and Chase signed it, and had him put it in mailbox and later took it out! Today this came in the mail from ‘Santa’ with some
die in crash Falling police helicopter mars Scottish holiday
stickers! Whoever you are ‘Santa’ you are SO thoughtful!! He was so excited for the Toy Story stickers! THANK YOU!!!!!” Holly said she does not know who sent the letter, or whether her Facebook messages have reached the right person.
LASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Scotland’s official holiday was transformed into a grim day of mourning Saturday as emergency crews searched the wreckage of a riverside pub smashed by a falling police helicopter. At least eight people died and more than a dozen remained hospitalized with serious injuries. The Clutha, a popular Glasgow pub, was filled with revelers enjoying a local ska band on Friday night, the eve of St. Andrew’s Day, named for the patron saint of Scotland and which is normally a celebration of Scottish culture and heritage. Instead, Scotland’s leader ordered flags at government buildings to be lowered to half-staff after the tragedy. “This is a black day for Glasgow and Scotland, but it’s also St. Andrew’s Day, and it’s a day we can take pride and courage in how we respond to adversity and tragedy,” Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said. There may be more bad news. Police said a rescue and recovery

Auburn charity show benefits area soldiers BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — For one fan, it was all about the Batmobile. For another, it was all about Mountain Man from the hit reality television show “Duck Dynasty.” But for the organizers of Carl Casper’s 50th Anniversary Charity Auto Show, it was all about military veterans and their families. Hoosier Charities put on the two-day event that concludes from noon to 5 p.m. today at the National Military History Center, just west of Interstate 69 exit 326 with an entrance off DeKalb C.R. 11-A. The proceeds from the event will be distributed through the Association of Churches of Allen County and Fort Wayne. According to association board president Dave Boyer II, by working with chaplains from area
military units, the organization is able to provide housing and bill payment assistance, as well as helping with employment issues for returning veterans throughout northeastern Indiana. “If there’s a need, we’re going to meet it,” Boyer said. “Any need they have.” Saturday’s first day drew a steady crowd of spectators, highlighted by celebrity appearances from Mountain Man, pro wrestling legend Ted DiBiase and Casper. “We’re very happy,” said Jeff Cook of Auburn, the president of Hoosier Charities and a celebrity himself as a Monster Truck driver. “We’re looking good. We’ve had a good turnout.” DiBiase, Casper, Cook and SpongeBob Squarepants will be at the National Military History SEE CHARITY, PAGE A8

MUNSTER (AP) — A policy statement recently approved by Indiana’s higher education commission will likely be clarified, after it sparked concerns that it would restrict academic freedom at the state’s regional college campuses, the education commissioner said. Commissioner Teresa Lubbers told The Times of Munster the Indiana Commission for Higher Education has “no interest or legal authority to dictate policy to regional campuses.” The commission’s policy, which was approved in October, states that, “regional campuses should limit research to scholarly activity related to faculty teaching responsibilities and research related to local and regional needs.” Lubbers conceded that the policy’s language is confusing and likely will be changed by the commission, which coordinates and reviews programs and budgets from the state’s public colleges and universities. The panel’s 14 members are appointed by the governor. The policy’s wording has prompted complaints from regional campuses around the state. Senate leaders at Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne even adopted a resolution opposing the new policy, which they contend will limit free and open discourse. Their resolution states, in part, that “faculty at
the Regional Campuses are protected by academic freedom and may pursue any variety of scholarly activities and research.” John Applegate, Indiana University’s executive vice president for university academic affairs, said the commission’s policy statement contained some language he does not think fully reflects the body’s longstanding position on faculty research activities. “I’m very glad that Commissioner Lubbers has indicated that she understands the issues and intends to seek modification of the policy accordingly,” Applegate said, adding that he’s confident the commission “shares IU’s view that academic freedom for all faculty members is a fundamental value that should be embraced.” Karen Schmid, Purdue University North Central vice chancellor for academic affairs, also welcomed the news that the commission will likely revise the policy statement. She said that at her campus “research is highly valued, and faculty engage in many types of research.” Lubbers wrote in a recent newspaper editorial that the commission stands behind “our institutions’ right” to academic freedom. “Beyond the funding aspect, the state has no role or authority in determining the type of research activities taking place at Indiana colleges,” she wrote.
Pacers enlist Disney to enhance fan experience INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bankers Life Fieldhouse could soon be one of the happiest places on earth — at least if the Indiana Pacers have any say. The team has hired Walt Disney Co.’s Disney Institute to help improve customer service at the field house in a project that will be closely watched by the National Basketball Association. Rick Fuson, Pacers chief operating officer and executive director of the field house, told the Indianapolis Business Journal that the team enlisted Disney because it wants customers “to think we go beyond whatever they imagined we’d do in fulfilling their needs and wishes.” The Disney Institute was formed in 1986 in response to requests for customer service consultations. It has worked with business interests ranging from manufacturing to health care, but it didn’t start working with sports organizations until the last three or four years. That’s when sports companies realized more fans were staying home to watch games on television. Its projects include the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa, the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis and work with the Orlando Magic. NBA officials were so impressed by Disney’s sports-related work that they called team leaders to Orlando this fall to discuss a leaguewide initiative. But many teams are waiting to see what transpires with the Pacers’
project. Indianapolis sports marketer David Morton expects the relationship to pay off for the organization. “Disney is revered with regard to customer relations,” said Morton, president of Sunrise Sports Group. “Disney takes money out of your pocket nicer than anyone else. An approach like theirs can only help a company’s bottom line.” Fuson said every aspect of the field house operations — box office, ticket takers, ushers, food service and security — will be affected by the Disney deal. “We think there’s a lot we can learn from a company like Disney,” he said. He declined to say how much the deal is costing but said he’s confident the final results will be worth the investment. Fuson and Pacers Director of Customer Loyalty Sasha Williams have already attended three days of training at Disney’s headquarters in Orlando, Fla. The next step is to train employees of Pacers Sports & Entertainment. That will start within six weeks and continue throughout the year. Some of Disney’s basic tenets include treating visitors as guests; being both helpful and gracious; and making events memorable. Disney officials will also train Pacers managers how to reward their employees, including a program that allows visitors to recognize workers for top service.

The most valuable lesson is hope The Crossing works with Master Spas to give students job training BY BARRY ROCHFORD brochford@kpcmedia.com
Travis Anderson knew something had to change. As a freshman at Snider High School, he just couldn’t keep up. The books, the class work — he struggled to keep his head above water. Graduation didn’t seem like a realistic possibility, especially with a GPA hovering around 1.4. “My family and I were looking into alternative schools. And just as I was about to say screw it and give up, my grandma called my mother and told us about the Crossing,” Anderson, 18, said. “My dad and I went out there with my cousin and we checked into it, and I enrolled
the next day and I’ve been here ever since. I love it.” When the opportunity came to take part in a job-training program at Master Spas Inc. in Fort Wayne, “I jumped right on it,” he said. To the point that Anderson kept bugging his teacher about it. And when he finally did arrive on the Master Spas production floor with his fellow Crossing Educational Center students, outfitted in matching fluorescent-orange T-shirts, he took quickly to the task at hand. “Once I saw the gist of what we started out doing, which was rolling the big master tubs, I jumped right in — we all jumped right

Week In Review • Local income grows faster than average Per capita personal income grew faster than the national average in all four counties of northeast Indiana during 2012, says a new federal report. Income grew at a 4.9 percent rate in Indiana and a 3.4 percent rate nationwide in 2012, says the report by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis. Locally, LaGrange County showed the highest rate of growth in 2012, at 9.6 percent. DeKalb County had the highest per capita income in the four counties at $34,533 per year. All four counties remained well below the state average income of $38,119 and the national average of $43,735 during 2012.
Rieke adding up to 15 jobs at Hamilton HAMILTON — Rieke Corp. announced plans today to expand its operations in Hamilton, creating up to 15 new jobs by 2016. The Auburn-headquartered company, a subsidiary of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-based TriMas Corp., will invest $7.5 million to equip its existing 73,360-square-foot facility at 2855 E. Bellefontaine Road in Hamilton. The company said the expansion, which began in August, will allow it to expand its capacity and capabilities, better serving its customers. Rieke is a a global manufacturer and distributor of specialty, highly-engineered closure and dispensing systems.
Four-way stop changing to two-way ALBION — The Noble County Commissioners Monday voted 3-0 to convert a four-way stop intersection to a two-way stop, but delayed implementing the plan. The change would allow traffic on C.R. 1000E, also known as Allen Chapel Road, to move without stopping through its intersection with C.R. 415N, also called Lisbon Road. Traffic on C.R. 415N would continue to stop for stop signs at the intersection. People spoke both for and against the proposal Monday during a public hearing before the commissioners. A second traffic study for the intersection, which the commissioners requested Aug. 19, had not been completed because the group doing the study said it wouldn’t be necessary, Noble County highway engineer Michael Fitch said. Commissioner Chad Kline agreed. “We requested Region III-A to do another study,” he said. “They said a traffic study would have been a waste of time.”
Homicide plea deal upsets family ANGOLA — The family of a man killed 24 years ago in Hamilton has expressed distress with the way the incident was portrayed in the courtroom last week. Friday, Mahfuz Huq, 47, admitted to voluntary manslaughter in the death of Todd Kelley on Aug. 9, 1989. He is being held in Steuben County Jail pending a sentencing hearing April 4 in Steuben Superior Court. In a statement to KPC Media Group, the Kelley family said it is “sickened and deeply saddened” by the way the change of plea was presented Friday. The manslaughter charge is a lesser felony introduced recently in Huq’s case, which was filed two weeks before Kelley’s death. The case originally reflected one count of felony intimidation, after Huq allegedly went to Kelley’s home on July 25, 1989, threatening to kill him if he continued dating a girl that Huq had also dated. The murder charge, which carries up to a 65-year sentence, was added to the intimidation case after Kelley’s death. “Todd was a 19-year-old boy, who was in his own home on Aug. 9, 1989, when his life was taken between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. by Huq, who had threatened to kill him before. You do the math,” said the family’s statement.

in — and took off doing it,” he said. Master Spas has partnered with Crossing Educational Center’s Fort Wayne campus to give students like Anderson — those who thought school wasn’t for them, those who have dropped out, those who have struggled with drugs, those who have been in gangs and watched friends and family members go to prison or worse — not only relevant, valued work skills, but something greater. Hope. “I can see the difference they’re making to try to teach them life skills, show them that they can be loved,” said Terry Valmassoi, Master Spas’ president. Crossing Educational Center was founded in 2003 by Executive Director Rob Staley, who for 20 years was
an administrator and principal at Concord High School in Elkhart. The Elkhart County sheriff one day invited Staley to come talk to some of the jail inmates. Staley recognized many of the faces; they’d been in his classrooms. After enough discussions during which Staley asked them how they would operate a school, he decided to start Crossing Educational Center, often simply referred to as the Crossing. The state-accredited nonprofit school has grown since 2003 to include 15 campuses in Indiana, and it has contracts with 34 school districts. Its Fort Wayne campus, which has about 100 students and opened three years ago, operates out of the Youth for Christ Primetime Community Center near South Side High School.

Health care website fix is on track
‘Fast & Furious’ actor Paul Walker dies in car crash SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) — Paul Walker, the star of the “Fast & Furious” movie series, died Saturday in a car crash that killed two people north of Los Angeles, his publicist said. He was 40. Walker died Saturday afternoon, Ame Van Iden told the Associated Press. A statement on the actor’s Facebook page said he was a passenger in a friend’s car, and that Walker was in the area to attend a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. “We … are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news,” the statement said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department said that deputies found a car engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision in the community of Valencia. Two people who were found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene. The Santa Clarita Signal reports a red Porsche crashed into a light pole and tree and burst into flames. Walker was working on “Fast & Furious 7” at the time of his death. He also starred in the suspense drama, “Hours,” which is set for release this month.
Biden sets off on Asian trip Monday WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s up to Vice President Joe Biden to show that the U.S. effort to realign its gaze toward Asia hasn’t fizzled out. Biden is set to arrive Monday in Tokyo on a weeklong trip to Asia, which is watching carefully to see how committed the Obama administration is to increasing America’s influence in the region as a hedge against an increasingly assertive China. In meetings with leaders in Japan, China and South Korea, the vice president will seek to show that while the administration has been preoccupied with Mideast flare-ups and a series of domestic distractions, the U.S. remained determined to be a Pacific power. At the same time, disputes among Asian nations seem to be boiling over, threatening instability in a region that’s vital to the U.S. economy. American allies Japan and South Korea are barely speaking. China is butting heads with its neighbors and with the U.S. about Beijing’s new air defense zone over a group of tiny islands that have exacerbated long-simmering territorial conflicts. The U.S. on Friday advised American civil aviation carriers to comply with China’s demand that it be told of any flights passing through that defense zone.

Dennis Hess shows a video recording of a person he believes stole from his farm stand, Nov. 4, in Litiz, Pa. You can take our word for it: Americans don’t trust each other anymore. An AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than a third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when traveling. However, there are still trusters around to set an example like Hess who runs an unattended farm stand on the honor system.
Americans lacking trust WASHINGTON (AP) — You can take our word for it. Americans don’t trust each other anymore. We’re not talking about the loss of faith in big institutions such as the government, the church or Wall Street, which fluctuates with events. For four decades, a gut-level ingredient of democracy — trust in the other fellow — has been quietly draining away. These days, only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted. Half felt that way in 1972, when the General Social Survey first asked the question. Forty years later, a record high of nearly two-thirds say “you can’t be too careful” in dealing with people. An AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than one-third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when traveling. “I’m leery of everybody,” said Bart Murawski, 27, of Albany, N.Y. “Caution is always a factor.”
Does it matter that Americans are suspicious of one another? Yes, say worried political and social scientists. What’s known as “social trust” brings good things. A society where it’s easier to compromise or make a deal. Where people are willing to work with those who are different from them for the common good. Where trust appears to promote economic growth. Distrust, on the other hand, seems to encourage corruption. At the least, it diverts energy to counting change, drawing up 100-page legal contracts and building gated communities. Even the rancor and gridlock in politics might stem from the effects of an increasingly distrustful citizenry, said April K. Clark, a Purdue University political scientist and public opinion researcher. “It’s like the rules of the game,” Clark said. “When trust is low, the way we react and behave with each other becomes less civil.” In fact, some studies suggest it’s too late for most Americans alive today to become more trusting. That research says the
Political protests violent in Thailand BANGKOK (AP) — Aggressive political protests in the Thai capital turned violent late Saturday with at least one man killed and five wounded by gunshots in street fighting between supporters and opponents of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. It was not immediately known who fired the shots or what side the victims were on. National Police Deputy Spokesman Anucha Romyanan said the dead man was a 21-year-old male with two bullet wounds. The violence in the short run may stir fears of further instability like what plagued the country during related political conflicts in 2006, 2008 and 2010. Any escalation of violence is likely to scare away tourists who come to Thailand by the millions and contribute a huge chunk to the economy. But it may help the government by undermining the claims of its opponents to
be carrying out a nonviolent campaign of civil disobedience. The violence is likely to scare away some supporters who would otherwise attend the opposition’s rallies. Matters were feared to come to a head Sunday, when the protesters vowed to seize the well-guarded prime minister’s offices. The demonstrators are seeking to topple Yingluck’s government, which they believe serves the interests of her brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a 2006 military coup after being accused of corruption and abuse of power. The authorities have exercised extreme restraint over the past week as the protesters besieged and occupied parts of various government ministries and offices, aware that using force could tip public opinion and perhaps become an excuse for the military to take power in the name of restoring order.
basis for a person’s lifetime trust levels is set by his or her mid-twenties and unlikely to change, other than in some unifying crucible such as a world war. People do get a little more trusting as they age. But beginning with the baby boomers, each generation has started off adulthood less trusting than those who came before them. The best hope for creating a more trusting nation may be figuring out how to inspire today’s youth, perhaps united by their high-tech gadgets, to trust the way previous generations did in simpler times. There are still trusters around to set an example. Pennsylvania farmer Dennis Hess is one. He runs an unattended farm stand on the honor system. Customers select their produce, tally their bills and drop the money into a slot, making change from an unlocked cashbox. “When people from New York or New Jersey come up,” said Hess, 60, “they are amazed that this kind of thing is done anymore.”
night and those planned for tonight, the team is continuing its ongoing work to make HealthCare.gov work smoothly for the vast majority of users,” Julie Bataille, communications director for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said Saturday in a blog post. CMS oversees the health care website and is a division of the Department of Health and Human Services. Additional data on the website’s progress was to be released Sunday by Jeff Zients, the website’s chief troubleshooter. Obama promised a few weeks ago that HealthCare. gov “will work much better on Nov. 30, Dec. 1 than it worked certainly on Oct. 1.” But, in trying to lower expectations, he said he could not guarantee that “100 percent of the people 100 percent of the time going on this website will have a perfectly seamless, smooth experience.” The nation’s largest health insurer trade group said significant problems remain. Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans, said insurers have complained that enrollment data sent to them from the website include too much incorrect, duplicative, garbled or missing information. She said the problems must be cleared up to guarantee consumers the coverage they signed up for effective Jan. 1. “Until the enrollment process is working from end to end, many consumers will not be able to enroll in coverage,” Ignani said. The first big test of the repaired website probably won’t come for another couple of weeks, when an enrollment surge is expected.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says it will meet its self-imposed deadline of fixing the troubled health care website so that 50,000 people can log in at the same time starting late Saturday. Yet questions remain about the stability of the site, the volume of traffic it can handle and the quality of the data it is delivering to insurers. Round-the-clock repair work since HealthCare. gov went live on Oct. 1 has produced fewer errors, and pages are loading faster. But the site still won’t be able to do everything the administration wanted, and companion sites for small businesses and Spanish speakers have been delayed. Still, the White House hopes a website that is at least operating more smoothly after weeks of bad publicity about its troubles will mark a fresh start for Obama and the signature domestic initiative of his presidency, as well as give him a chance to salvage a second term that has been weighed down by health care law’s rough start and other issues. Administration officials said HealthCare.gov was “performing well” Saturday, the deadline set to have it working smoothly for the “vast majority of users,” after overnight hardware upgrades to boost server capacity. The deadline fell during a long holiday weekend when traffic to the site likely would have been slower anyway and at a level unlikely to expose new technical issues. More hardware upgrades and software fixes were planned for overnight Saturday to further improve speed and reduce errors. “With upgrades last

Season of gratitude can lead to organ donation decisions During the Thanksgiving and Christmas season we focus on giving and gratitude. The gift of organ donation is not often a topic of conversation, but people should be aware that one donor can potentially save the lives of up to eight people. More than 600 Hoosiers are on waiting lists for organ, tissue and eye donations, according to the Indiana Organ Procurement Organization. Nationwide, more than 90,000 people are hoping to receive a life-saving transplant; sadly, it’s estimated that 17 people die every day waiting for such a transplant. The good news is that more than 25,000 lives were saved last year from the gift of organ donation. If you are willing to be an organ donor when you die, discuss it now with your family and health professionals. When you apply for or renew your driver’s license, you will be asked if you’d like to become a donor. If you say “yes,” a red heart will be printed on your license showing that you have agreed to become a donor. For more information visit: organdonor.gov/about/data.html Below are facts associated with organ donation from donatelifeindiana.org/get-the-facts/top-myths • Organ, eye and tissue recovery happens only after all life-saving efforts have been exhausted and death has been legally declared. • After organ and tissue donation the body is still presentable for a funeral or memorial service. Donated organs are surgically removed. Donation does not change the body’s appearance. • Everyone can register as a donor, regardless of medical history. Suitability to be a donor is determined at the time of death. • It is illegal to buy and sell human organs in the United States. Registering as an organ, eye and tissue donor ensures your donations will be used ethically and given to those most in need of a transplant. • Your family’s information will never be released without their consent. Communication is carefully screened by the organ procurement organization. • Ranking on the waiting list does not consider race, income or social status. Factors considered are blood type, medical urgency, geographic location, organ size, tissue match and time spent waiting. • All major religions in the U.S. support organ, eye and tissue donation. Some leave it to personal choice; others encourage it and consider it a charitable act. • The donor’s family will not pay for the donation process. The organ, eye or tissue recipient is responsible for these costs. Thousands of Hoosiers are able to celebrate this holiday season with their loved ones because of the foresight and generosity of people who made the decision to give the gift of life. Hundreds more are waiting for that gift.

Letters • Rep. Smaltz displays difficulty in taking strong, principled stands To the editor: Dr. David Powers seems to have touched a nerve in his recent criticism of state Rep. Ben Smaltz (letter of Nov. 10). The local Republican fathers certainly have their knickers in a twist over Dr. Powers, as evidenced by their strong letters in response (Nov. 13). Let’s take a closer look at the performance of then-candidate and now-incumbent Rep. Smaltz, the remarks of Dr. Powers, and the rebuttal by the local Republican “big guns.” Rep. Smaltz has indeed displayed difficulty in taking strong, principled stands on the issues. During the primary campaign of 2012, he claimed education would be one of his main issues. As Dr. Powers noted, however, when questioned about Common Core, the federal takeover of education standards, Rep. Smaltz did in fact turn the question over to members of his family who were attending the campaign event with him. Once elected, Rep. Smaltz did not lead in the fight to pause Common Core implementation (HEA 1427), and he only decided to vote for the pause at the last second. This is not the performance of a principled leader. On the issue of the Marriage Amendment (HJR 6), Rep. Smaltz has claimed he needs to sit through hearings and study legislation
carefully, because he has not yet done so. The problem with this response is, HJR 6 must be passed by the legislature in 2014 exactly as it was passed in 2011 for it to advance to the fall ballot in 2014 to be voted on by the people of Indiana. The measure is only two sentences long. The wording of HJR 6 is as follows: “Only a marriage between one (1) man and one (1) woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Indiana. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.” This wording has been available for Rep. Smaltz, or anyone else, to study since the spring of 2011. Rep. Smaltz either knows this, or he should. What is so difficult about this? Why the hedging? And what of the remarks about Dr. Powers by DeKalb County Republican Chairman Brad McDaniel, and vote-counting attendant Glen Bailey? These gentlemen accused Dr. Powers of attacks without substance and personal attacks. However, there is ample documentation of Rep. Smaltz’s reluctance to take stands on matters of principle. As to the charge of personal attacks, Rep. Smaltz is not being criticized as a husband, father, son, neighbor, or any of the other private roles he plays in his life. Rep.

It all screams “economic development!” While it is pleasing that Indiana’s famed “Crossroads of America” are evolving, we have many challenges, far beyond those who will hog the new U.S. 31 left lane (can some of you troopers write a ticket or two?). Anyone who drives I-65 from Gary to 465, or from Southport to Columbus, knows that we are at or near capacity, with gridlock just a few years away. Pence has to figure out how
to build and pay for that I-69 gap between Crane and Bloomington, and its terminus at 465 (as well as some rest stops for the meekly bladdered at a proper pee break interval, say, 90 minutes north of Evansville). It appears to be a priority. He noted the 2020 Fund was included in the current biennial budget. “It was $400 million in highway funding,” Pence said. “That will take legislation for us to deploy those resources. We’ll be going to the General Assembly with a plan to put those resources to work. Roads mean jobs, and I don’t just mean road jobs.” Pence continued, “I’m committed to finishing I-69 all the way to Indianapolis. My inclination is to look at other infrastructure needs around the state and see where we can enhance infrastructure in the short term as we finish the longer term projects.” So there you have it. Tens of thousands of Hoosiers will glide across the northern Indiana prairies on the 31 freeway this Thanksgiving. Pence can dream that some day before he leaves office in three to seven years, he can make a two-hour drive to Evansville, following all applicable speed laws. And you’ve got to think that when the temperature rises, Our Man Mitch might retrieve the Harley from Ross-Ade Stadium, and do a quick spin around Kokomo.

Nostalgia just not enough to save old school I’m one of the youngest people who attended what used to be Kendallville High School, since I barely was old enough to be a member of the class of 1969 and spend my freshman year in the big, brick building on Diamond Street. My five years in the KHS building included kindergarten, first grade and grades 7-9. When I walked out of there for the last time, in the spring of 1966, I did so without a hint of nostalgia. All I could think about was the excitement of entering the brand-new East Noble High School that fall. East Noble came with many advantages, but architecture was not among them. It was a sprawling, one-story building of unremarkable style, tacked onto a 10-year-old elementary school. So even though I spent my final three years of high school at East Noble, when I think of my school
years, I get a mental picture of KHS. Kendallville High School looked like the perfect setting for “Grease” or any number of movies about high school in the 1950s and ’60s, featuring letter jackets, cars with big fins and pouffy hairdos. Halls at KHS stretched long and narrow, with high ceilings and dim lighting. Broad stairwells ran from the third floor to the below-ground-level first floor at several places in the building. A cavernous study hall arranged students in long rows of desks, facing a blank wall while a stern teacher watched from an elevated perch at the back of the room. Winter track practice took place indoors at the school — up the stairs to the third story, down a hall, then a bone-jarring descent on another staircase. These days when my joints ache, I blame those torture sessions. Kendallville High School
was where I heard that President Kennedy had been shot. It’s where I stood in the hall the only time I ever got thrown out of class. It’s where I discovered girls and found fleeting success in that department, before a major slump in the East Noble years. I took the time DAVE to look around old KHS two KURTZ weeks ago, when I covered a meeting about the future of the building. Parts of the structure are nearly 100 years old, and East Noble school officials want to hear the public’s opinions on what to do with it. Today, the building carries the name of East Noble Middle School, and it houses about 600
•
students in grades 7-8. It’s not overcrowded — just outdated. School officials could remodel the building and stay there or build a new middle school somewhere else. Superintendent Ann Linson insists that school officials have not made up their minds, but she gave a dozen reasons for moving and barely any for staying. Audience members couldn’t make much of a case for the old building, either. Memories are the main reason anyone would want to keep the three-story school on Diamond Street. My parents went to school there. My mom worked there. But people with sentimental ties to the old building most likely make up a minority of East Noble residents today. Of all the old school buildings that have come down around northeast Indiana in recent years, old KHS might be the most handsome on the exterior. Inside,
it’s been renovated to the point I barely recognize it. Truth be told, KHS probably was almost worn out when I walked out of there 47 years ago. Today, the charming staircases are considered a safety hazard on several counts. Now, East Noble students start out in modern elementary schools and finish in a modern high school. For two years in the middle, they take a step backward 50 years. I can’t sentence another generation of students to put up with an out-of-date school just so I can experience a flood of nostalgia when I drive down Diamond Street. East Noble needs a new middle school. My memories will be just fine. DAVE KURTZ is the executive editor of KPC Media Group newspapers. He may be reached at dkurtz@kpc media. com.
Fallout from the nuclear option Readers praise students, intersection traffic change A Tuesday story about a group of Lakeland High School students who spent the night in cardboard boxes to raise money and help understand the plight of the homeless drew praise from one online reader, who commented: “Excellent job, and great commitment. I hope more students realize that as bad as they think they have it, if they have a home, food and clothes, even though it is not the ‘name brands,’ they are blessed ONLINE and should be grateful.”
COMMENTS
Online reader dfordeck agreed with the Noble County Commissioners’ James Tew decision to change the four-way stop at the intersection of C.R. 1000E and C.R. 415N, posting: “I know some people will not like it, but everyone will soon adapt to the change. People had to also adapt when the intersection north of that was switched from a north-south stop to an east-west stop after C.R. 1000E was widened and upgraded for the traffic to go through to U.S. 6.”

J. Harvie Wilkinson III is a Federal circuit court judge, appointed in 1984 by Ronald Reagan, but he’s never seen himself as a doctrinaire conservative trying to “storm the barricades.” After Senate Democrats recently invoked the “nuclear option” and voted to ban filibusters for most presidential nominations, he outlined the consequences of that rash and regrettable action in The Washington Post: COKIE ROBERTS “The question for a great nation STEVEN ROBERTS should often be: Will the center hold?” the judge wrote. That’s a “quiet question,” but one that “must be posed now.” And as the Congress insists on demonstrating, the voices answering “no” are growing louder and stronger. Both parties bear a huge amount of blame here. Republicans were totally unjustified in using the filibuster to block three of President Obama’s eminently reasonable and completely qualified nominees to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. They were trying in effect to overturn the results of the last election, and their dead-end strategy seems deliberately designed to push Democrats to the breaking point. Instead of showing restraint, however, Democrats allowed themselves to be pushed. In fact, many in their ranks — particularly younger lawmakers who have never served in the minority — were desperately eager for the showdown. Their emotions were stoked. They wanted revenge. And they took it. Sure, Democrats can derive some short-term gains. Obama will get to place more judges on the Federal bench and win quicker confirmation for some important appointments, like Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve. But the long-term costs could be enormous. And it’s our bet that years from now, many of the Democrats who backed the change will regret their vote. For one thing, Republicans still have many tools at their disposal to delay and derail nominations. They can boycott committee meetings, force lengthy floor debates or wreck legislative schedules. Moreover, the partisan fumes choking Capitol Hill have turned even more toxic — if that’s possible. Pragmatic Republicans like John McCain and Susan Collins tried to broker a last-minute compromise but were brusquely brushed aside. As a result, their ability — and willingness — to seek common ground in the future has been badly undermined. Obama still has an ambitious legislative agenda for his final three years in office: reforming immigration, raising revenues, revising entitlements. All of those goals will now be harder to achieve, not easier. “If you thought the Senate has already ground to a near standstill, this is like

• throwing sand into the gears of an already rusty machine,” Republican strategist Ron Bonjean told Bloomberg News. The long-term costs could be even greater. Without the threat of a filibuster to restrain them, presidents will be freer to nominate more staunchly ideological judges. One day it will be a Republican president making those choices and Democrats have just bought themselves more hardliners like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. “Ideologues pose a unique risk for courts” because they shred “the very understandings by which we operate,” judge Wilkinson wrote. “Taking disagreements personally, believing oneself in sole and permanent possession of the truth can, in countless ways … corrode the quality of justice.” The “quality of justice” is not the only potential victim here. The essence of our political system is at risk. The core value of democracy is not ensuring majority rule; it is protecting minority rights. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, one of three Democrats to oppose the “nuclear option” made that precise point in a powerful floor speech after the vote. “If a Senate majority decides to pursue its aims unrestrained by the rules, we will have sacrificed a professed, vital principle for the sake of momentary convenience,” he warned. Levin went on to quote Joe Biden, who was serving in the Senate during an earlier confrontation in 2005. Then the sides were reversed. Democrats were filibustering President Bush’s judgeship nominations and Republicans were threatening to change the rules. “The nuclear option abandons America’s sense of fair play,” Biden cautioned. “It’s the one thing this country stands for: not tilting the playing field on the side of those who control and own the field.” He was completely correct about that. We have lived and worked in countries where the winners — “those who control and own the field” — feel free to change the rules, undermine their opponents, and unfairly enshrine their hold on power. That’s not real democracy, that’s tyranny by another name. Yes, the Republicans planted the nuclear bomb. But the Democrats lit the fuse. And the fallout from that explosion will pollute the capital for years to come. COKIE ROBERTS AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS are columnists for Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

What Other Say • Iran agreement merits skepticism Americans have grown accustomed to regarding Iran as an intransigent foe, one that seemed intent on developing nuclear weapons, a quest that infuriated the nearby Israelis and Saudi Arabians and defied Western nations demanding it cease its dangerous ambitions.
Well, late Saturday night the Iranians finally told the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China that it would suspend its nuclear ambitions in exchange for a temporary relaxation of the economic sanctions that have crippled its economy. But this hardly means the Iranians are our friends, and congressional leaders have good cause to be skeptical
of the agreement, which by no means eliminates Iran’s ability to become a nuclear power. As The Wall Street Journal reports, the deal calls for Tehran to limit nuclear efforts in exchange for loosening of Western sanctions worth more than $6 billion to Iran, though many sanctions will remain in place until a broader agreement is reached.
Although Iranian leaders consistently denied they were seeking to develop nuclear weaponry, their agreement Saturday to stop doing so would appear to be a tacit concession that the United States and its allies were right all along. Two of America’s strongest allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia, were dismayed by the agreement. Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu described Saturday’s agreement as “an historic mistake.” Because Israel especially enjoys so much support from both parties on Capitol Hill, President Obama can expect to be sharply criticized for his role in reaching this agreement with Iran. The “interim” agreement looks to have gaping holes,
allowing Iran to continue low-level uranium enrichment that Israeli authorities believe could be used to mask secret efforts to develop weapons-grade fuel. Americans have no reason to believe Iran, which until recently has demonstrated only contempt for the “Great Satan,” will be more diligent about its promises. The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune

SURPRISE: Santa is a local man, wanted to help FROM PAGE A1
AP
Scottish Fire and Rescue services look at the exposed part of the helicopter tail fin and rotor at the scene on Saturday following the helicopter crash at the Clutha Bar in Glasgow, Scotland.
CRASH: Helicopter crashed into pub before 11 p.m. FROM PAGE A1
operation is ongoing and that it wasn’t clear what will be found once the aircraft’s wreckage is removed. The process may take days. That means more waiting for people who don’t know if their loved ones were in The Clutha at the fateful moment when the helicopter fell from the sky, directly hitting the riverside drinking establishment. Witnesses said it seemed to fall straight down into the roof of the pub. The crash Friday at around 10:30 p.m. sent dozens of patrons fleeing through a cloud of dust. Witnesses spoke of people streaming out of the building covered in blood, with gashes and other injuries. Ambulances rushed to the scene, taking the injured to nearby hospitals. Local resident Paul Dundas, 26, said he heard a loud bang and looked out of his window to see a plume of dust rising above the pub. “At first I thought it was a firework,” he said. “People were covered in blood and dust. Other people were dragging them away from the bar and trying to get them out. Everyone was in shock, but people were helping and asking strangers if they were OK. I saw a couple help each other clean up their faces.” Chief Constable Stephen House said three of the dead were found in the helicopter, which was carrying two police officers and a civilian pilot. They “were our colleagues,” House said, bowing his head and taking a long pause and swallow. He said the five other fatalities were found inside the building and that 14 people remained hospitalized with serious injuries. House wouldn’t say if more people are believed to be inside the severely damaged pub. He said the helicopter is still “dominating the whole
space” in the one-story building and that police won’t know the situation until the wreckage is cleared away. It wasn’t immediately clear what the helicopter was doing in the area prior to the crash. Police and air safety investigators say it’s too early to speculate on why the Eurocopter EC135 T2 helicopter came down on the pub’s roof, close to a helipad on the bank of the River Clyde. Police said the scene was extremely dangerous because the building was unstable. “We are dealing with a very sensitive investigation and operation here,” House said. “It will go on for many days yet.” The Clutha pub was packed at the time. Police said there were well over 100 people inside the bar at the time of the crash, listening to the tunes of local ska band Esperanza. With the scene cordoned off, groups of people huddled around police tape Saturday, some visibly upset and crying. A blue tarpaulin had been spread on the roof of the pub, but for much of the day the shapes of the blades and mangled fuselage were clearly visible from the street. John McGarrigle, 38, said that he believed his 59-yearold father, also named John, had died in the crash. The younger McGarrigle, who described his father as a regular at the bar who sat in the same seat every night, had arrived on the scene shortly after the crash and stayed all night. “His friend told me she went to the toilet, heard the noise and went back into the bar,” he said. “He was gone. There was nothing left where he’d been sitting.” Search and rescue dogs were on the scene throughout Saturday, with more than 100 firefighters participating alongside expert crews trained
in shoring up unstable buildings. Witness David Campbell, 22, said he was approaching the pub with friends when he heard a loud bang. “We ran up to bar and saw lots of people coming out — dozens,” he said. “Some were injured I saw one man with a very bad head injury. There was blood, blood, blood. I’m not sure if he has made it. He said some residents ran into the pub to try to aid victims. “I saw some people smash a window beside the blocked door and help people get out,” he said. “It was a stressful situation, but there was a sense of purpose about it.” Resident Karen Smith watched events unfold from her balcony and said a nearby bridge over the river was lined with ambulances after the crash. “We could see paramedics being helped by ordinary people. They were lifting and helping the wounded to ambulances,” she said. “I could hear raised voices, and I suppose it was chaotic, but you could see people mucking in together.” She said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she realized it was a helicopter that caused the disaster. “The yellow tips of the blades were clearly sticking out of the building and I could see the word ‘police’ written on the side,” she said. Members of the ska band Esperanza joined others in praising the rescue effort. “Waking up and realizing that it is all definitely horribly real,” the band wrote on its Facebook page. “Despite the situation everyone was so helpful and caring of each other. The police, ambulances, firefighters all did a stellar job and continue to do so today.” The twin-engine Eurocopter is widely used by police and ambulance services.
HIGHWAY: Steuben County will maintain roads FROM PAGE A1
$600,000 from the Legislature. “It will be used for maintenance on asphalt,” he said. “We have no big plans.” That maintenance includes 800 miles of LaGrange roads — 300 miles of which are gravel. He said for the most part, the toughest roads to maintain are asphalt because of the excess wear and tear caused by horses and buggies used by the county’s large rural Amish population. In preparation for winter, Brill has 3,000-4,000 tons of road salt on hand and another 1,000 tons that can be ordered.
Noble County An added $275,000 in state money, plus extra estimated $710,000, will help fix portions of Noble County roads. It’s always an expensive undertaking, said Mark Goodrich, highway department superintendent. “We’re going to have to turn it back into roads. Our equipment is aging. There’s never enough,” he said. Including that state money, Goodrich’s budget is around $4 million to maintain 820 miles of
roadway. Of those, 79 miles of roadways are gravel. Goodrich said $150,000 was put aside to replace a bridge on C.R. 600W deemed in need of attention from an annual inspection. The remaining $560,000 will go toward the county’s 820 miles of needed road repairs. He said that money received from the state likely won’t go far considering it costs some $20,000 per mile for double-chipping. Some Noble County roads are bad enough they need redesigning. Goodrich said county engineers have determined 10 miles of roads are rated very poor and 41 miles have a poor designation. Among those roads, he said, he hopes the county can start repairing C.R. 300S next year. Goodrich is set on road salt for winter, having 1,000 tons and another 1,000 tons if needed.
Steuben County The Steuben County Highway Department is gearing up to do $535,000 more maintenance on its 564 miles of roads — about one-half of which are gravel — thanks to the extra money received from the Legislature.
Steuben County Highway Superintendent Ken Penick said about 32 miles of work is planned, but there likely won’t be time to finish it all by the end of the year. Funds not used this year will be carried over to next year. “We’ll do chip-andseal, blacktop. The council approved $175,000” in work, Penick said. “In August and September, we sealed roads and did a hot mix. We can’t do it now, but will probably do it next May or June.” Penick’s maintenance is expected to include about two miles of asphalt paving, 17 miles of chip-and-seal and another 13 miles of sand and seal work. Grinding currently is being done on Baker Road, but Penick noted that’s a federal project. Other roads to which Penick would like to give attention include Old 27 south from Angola to Pleasant Lake and possibly Golden Lake Road. “I’ve been doing this 10 years,” he said. “Our budget has been cut every year.” Penick said he’s more than set on winter salt, with more than 200 tons and the ability to receive 1,000-2,000 tons more.
“Every week since that we’ve received money and presents,” Holly said. Each time a gift comes, she takes pictures and posts them on Facebook with thank-you’s to “Santa.” “Santa” is a local man who has gone through some hardships himself lately. Through mutual Facebook connections, he said, he heard about Chase and his mother’s struggles and wanted to do something to brighten their holidays. He does not wish to reveal his identity at this time. Holly’s posts on Facebook show the frustrations of having a child with autism. Chase acts out and requires close supervision. Monday, Holly posted: “Thank you God for a day
with no aggression!!! First time in a while that we have had NO aggression in a therapy session!” The little gifts her family has received have gone a long way in helping lighten the holiday stresses, Holly said. It’s not just Chase getting presents, but his brother, Carson, 11, got $60 recently. Chase is excited about his next package from Santa, which most recently was a gift card signed simply, “from Me.” “It’s exciting to see him get excited when the mail truck comes,” said Holly. She has more than 1,000 Facebook friends, and though Holly said she fears some people may be getting tired of the pictures of her children with their gifts, she

is doing her best to thank Santa, whoever he is. “I think it’s awesome. They are so caring,” said Holly. “I want them to know that we are thankful and that we are getting the things.”

Legendary automobile designer Carl Casper signs a poster for Chris McDonald of Silver Lake during the Carl Casper’s 50th Anniversary Charity Auto Show Saturday at the National Military History Center. Proceeds from the two-day event will benefit families of military veterans in northeastern Indiana.
CHARITY: Casper has designed vehicles for movies FROM PAGE A1
Center for today’s conclusion to the event. Cook said it is easy to put in the work for a charity event that is going to help veterans and their families. “We want to give back as much as we can,” Cook said. “We owe it to all our vets.” Casper’s Batmobile from the movie “Batman Returns” was a hot attraction at the show, enticing Chris McDonald to come from Silver Lake. “I wanted to see a Batmobile in real life,” McDonald said after getting a poster signed by Casper. “The Batmobile is the No. 1 draw.” Chris McClean of Garrett came out Saturday for Mountain Man’s one-day appearance at the charity show. “I heard Mountain Man was going to be here,” McClean said. “I like the part he plays in the show.” Casper is the CEO of Hoosier Charities and, like Cook, said helping out just comes naturally. “I love charity work,” said Casper, who hails from Louisville. “I was brought up as a giver. We always had a couple of extra
plates at the table. It’s just embedded in you as a child. It’s much more pleasurable to give than to take.” Born and raised in Flint, Mich., Casper’s first custombuilt car was a 1951 Chevy he purchased for $300. That car eventually won best of show at the 1961 National Hot Rod Association Nationals show. “I have turned down $1 million for it,” Casper said. “It’s not for sale.” Casper has gone on to design many famous vehicles for movies and television shows as well as drag racers. He also restores antique carriages and was so successful at it that the top trophy of the national carriage restoration association is called the Carl Casper Award. “It humbles you really quick,” Casper said of the honor, “because you don’t deserve it. I don’t take anything for granted.” As modest as he is talented, Casper spent more than a decade in Hollywood, moving among the industry’s movers and shakers, and he said he learned where having a high impression of yourself can lead.
“I really got educated about ego,” he said. “I believe you lead by example. I really like to let my work do the talking.” Casper won so many car shows and carriage restoration events that he retired from competition. “There’s no need to keep competing,” he said. He would rather laud others than discuss his own accomplishments. Casper had special words of praise for the National Military History Center and its founder, Dean Kruse. “I wish the people in this market would appreciate what they have here,” Casper said. “There’s nothing like it in the world. I’m so proud of what Dean has done to put together this facility.” And there’s nothing like Auburn, with the National Military History Center, Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum and National Auto & Truck Museum, Casper said. “Auburn is on the world map,” Casper said. “The city has so much to be proud of. I love the city. I love this museum. I love Indiana.”
Mother leads searchers to wreckage ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A mother on board a plane that crashed in remote southwest Alaska made a frantic phone call for help resuscitating her 5-monthold baby, then left the fatally injured boy to lead searchers hampered by cold and fog to the crash site. Melanie Coffee, 25, of Mountain Village walked nearly a mile toward lights in the village of Saint Marys to meet rescuers Friday night. “I believe she’s the real hero in this,” said Saint Marys Village Police Officer Fred Lamont Jr., one of the dozens from his community and surrounding villages who responded to the crash that killed four and injured six. The Hageland Aviation Cessna 208 turboprop left Bethel at 5:40 p.m. on a scheduled flight for Mountain Village and eventually Saint Marys. Saint Marys, like scores of other Alaska villages, is off the state road system.
People routinely use small aircraft to reach regional hubs where they can catch another plane to complete trips to Anchorage or other cities. Megan Peters, a spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers, said the airplane would have been flying in freezing rain with a mile of visibility and a 300-foot ceiling. Lamont described conditions as ice fog with moisture that stuck to vehicles. The airplane never reached Mountain Village. It crashed around 6:30 p.m. four miles from Saint Marys, said Clint Johnson, head of the National Transportation Safety Board in Alaska. Pilot Terry Hansen, 68, passengers Rose Polty, 57, Richard Polty, 65, and the infant, Wyatt Coffee, died in the crash. The survivors included Melanie Coffee, Pauline Johnson, 37, Kylan Johnson, 14, Tanya Lawrence, 35, Garrett Moses, 30, and
Shannon Lawrence. All were seriously injured and four were in critical condition, Lamont said. All but Hansen and Shannon Lawrence are from Mountain Village, troopers said. Hansen was from Bethel, according to troopers. Information wasn’t available about where Lawrence lived. Lamont, the village police officer, is also trained as a health aide and was working with an ambulance driver Friday. At about 7 p.m., he said, Melanie Coffee called another on-duty health aide to say the airplane had crashed and she needed assistance. “She was trying to do CPR to her newborn baby,” Lamont said. “She called for help.” Lamont and the driver headed out in the ambulance to look for the crash. Other health officials put out the call for responders. Two state troopers assigned to the community joined the effort.

US: American fighters in Syria a security risk RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Federal officials say Americans are joining the bloody civil war in Syria, raising the chances they could become radicalized by al-Qaida-linked militant groups and return to the U.S. as battle-hardened security risks. The State Department says it has no estimates of how many Americans have taken up weapons to fight military units loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad in the conflict that has killed more than 100,000 people over
2 ½ years. Other estimates — from an arm of the British defense consultant IHS Jane’s and from experts at a nonprofit think tank in London — put the number of Americans at a couple dozen. The IHS group says al-Qaidalinked fighters number about 15,000, with total anti-Assad force at 100,000 or more. This year, at least three Americans have been charged with planning to fight beside Jabhat al-Nusrah — a radical Islamic organization that the
U.S. considers a foreign terrorist group — against Assad. The most recent case involves a Pakistan-born North Carolina man arrested on his way to Lebanon. At a Senate homeland security committee hearing this month, Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., said: “We know that American citizens as well as Canadian and European nationals have taken up arms in Syria, in Yemen and in Somalia. The threat that these individuals could return home to
carry out attacks is real and troubling.” The hearing came about two weeks after the FBI and other officers arrested Basit Sheikh, 29, at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport on charges he was on his way to join Jabhat al-Nusrah. Sheikh, a legal resident of the United States, had lived quietly, without a criminal record, in a Raleigh suburb for five years before his Nov. 2 arrest. A similar arrest came in April in Chicago. And in September, authorities in Virginia
released an Army veteran accused of fighting alongside the group after a secret plea deal. In August, outgoing FBI Director Robert Mueller told ABC News that he was concerned about Americans fighting in Syria, specifically “the associations they will make and, secondly, the expertise they will develop, and whether or not they will utilize those associations, utilize that expertise, to undertake an attack on the homeland.”
NKorea: detained tourist sorry SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea state media claimed Saturday that an elderly U.S. tourist detained for more than a month has apologized for alleged crimes during the Korean War and for “hostile acts” against the state during a recent trip. North Korean authorities released video showing 85-year-old Merrill Newman, wearing glasses, a blue button-down shirt and tan trousers, reading his alleged apology, which was dated Nov. 9 and couldn’t be independently confirmed. Pyongyang has been accused of previously coercing statements from detainees. There was no way to reach Newman and determine the circumstances of the alleged confession. But it was riddled with stilted English and grammatical errors, such as “I want not punish me.” “I have been guilty of a long list of indelible crimes against DPRK government and Korean people,” Newman purportedly wrote in a four-page statement, adding: “Please forgive me.” The statement, carried in the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, said the war veteran allegedly attempted to meet with any surviving soldiers he had trained during the Korean War to fight North Korea, and that he admitted to killing civilians and brought an e-book criticizing North Korea. DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, North Korea’s official name. It wasn’t clear what would happen to Newman now. But the statement alleges that Newman says if he goes back to the U.S. he will tell the truth about the country — a possible indication that Newman could be released. The apology can be seen as Pyongyang taking steps needed to release Newman, said Yoo Ho-Yeol, a professor of North Korea studies at Korea University in Seoul. North Korea likely issued the confession in the form of an apology to resolve Newman’s case quickly without starting legal proceedings, Yoo said. North Korea is extremely sensitive about any criticism and regularly accuses Washington and Seoul of seeking to overthrow its authoritarian system through various means — claims the U.S. and South Korea dismiss. The State Department has repeatedly warned Americans about traveling to the country, citing the risk of arbitrary detention. Newman, an avid traveler and retired finance executive, was taken off a plane Oct. 26 by North Korean authorities while preparing to leave the country after a 10-day tour. His traveling companion seated next to him, neighbor and former Stanford University professor Bob Hamrdla, was allowed to depart. Newman’s son, Jeffrey Newman, said his father wanted to return to the country where he spent three years during the Korean War.

IU takes Bucket in rout BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Indiana wanted to give its seniors a proper send-off Saturday. Tre Roberson delivered it with an unforgettable performance. The junior quarterback threw for six touchdown passes and rushed for 154 yards, both career-highs, leading the Hoosiers to a historic 56-36 victory over Purdue to reclaim the Old Oaken Bucket for the first time since 2010. Indiana finished with its highest point total in the 116-game series, and its most lopsided victory over Purdue since a 52-7 shellacking in 1988. “Happy to get the Bucket for the seniors and the team,” coach Kevin Wilson said. “I think a strong foundation has really been set by these guys (the seniors). I think, to me, they’ll walk out of here with their heads real, real high and I think we’ve got to cash in on the foundation they’ve laid.” It was a bittersweet day for the Hoosiers (5-7, 3-5 Big Ten). While they ended a two-game losing streak to their cross-state rival, they wanted these 21 seniors to leave with something more than the mad dash to the Boilermakers’ sideline so they could grab the trophy and parade around the field singing the school’s fight song. They really wanted this to be for a bowl bid.

last-minute lateral that Minnesota recovered to preserve a 42-39 victory in Bloomington. So with nothing other than pride and the coveted trophy at stake, Roberson
stole the show. He completed his first eight passes as the Hoosiers took a 14-0 first-quarter lead and wound up 25 of 37 for 273 yards, just one comple-
tion and 15 yards short of career-bests, while tying the school-record for TDs. He ran 21 times for 154 yards and converted 12 of 13 first downs over the first three quarters as Indiana built a 49-9 lead. There was almost nothing he — or his offensive teammates — couldn’t do. Running back Stephen Houston broke free for a 53-yard TD run on the game’s fourth offensive play, finishing with 17 carries for 120 yards in his final college game. D’Angelo Roberts added 113 yards on 14 carries. Junior receiver Shane Wynn caught seven passes for 52 yards and a careerhigh three TDs. Receiver Cody Latimer had seven catches for 110 yards, including a 27-yard highlight in which he wrestled the ball away from a Purdue defender on the sideline, stayed in bounds and dove inside of the pylon for the score. Senior Ted Bolser’s only TD catch of the day was career reception No. 116, one more than Bob Stephenson’s previous career best for a Hoosiers tight end. Bolser caught one more to finish at 117. And the Hoosiers didn’t even have their best runner, Tevin Coleman, who missed his third straight game with a sprained ankle. With Roberson playing this well, it didn’t matter.
No. 3 Buckeyes survive at Michigan ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The 110th game between Ohio State and Michigan might have been the most thrilling, a back-and-forth affair that came down to one final play. The Wolverines went for the win — and the Buckeyes stayed undefeated. Tyvis Powell intercepted Devin Gardner’s 2-point conversion pass with 32 seconds left and No. 3 Ohio State held on for a 42-41 victory against Michigan on Saturday as one of the greatest rivalries in sports added another memorable chapter to its storied history. “That’s an instant classic,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. Gardner threw a 2-yard
touchdown pass to Devin Funchess to make it 42-41, but instead of kicking for the tie and possibly pushing the game to overtime, Wolverines coach Brady Hoke asked his players if they wanted to go for it and got a unanimous response. “We played the game to win,” Hoke said. Gardner tried to zip a pass to Drew Dileo into traffic near the goal line, but Powell came up with it and the quarterback was left lying on his back with his arms extended to his side, the back of his helmet resting on the cold turf. “We felt like we could win the game right there,” Gardner said, looking and sounding as saddened as any athlete after a setback. Buckeyes cornerback Roby Bradley recovered
the onside kick to seal Ohio State’s 24th consecutive victory and keep its national championship hopes alive. And then thing got even better for the Buckeyes when Auburn beat Alabama later. Meyer insisted the streak was not as significant as winning his second game in as many tries against Michigan. “No question — the win over our rival is better,” he said. Braxton Miller accounted for a career-high matching five touchdowns for Ohio State (12-0, 8-0) and Carlos Hyde ran for a 1-yard score with 2:20 left to make it 42-35.

Garrett downs Prairie Heights BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
GARRETT — Coming off Wednesday night’s loss to county rival Eastside, the Garrett boys basketball team was looking to regain its mojo in preparing to face Prairie Heights on Saturday night. After a shaky first quarter found the Railroaders trailing by double digits, Garrett junior Justin McCoy and sophomore Kordell Kessler found their shooting spark, aiding a 20-0 run that eventually led to a 62-51 Railroader victory over the visiting Panthers. “I was anxious to see how we’d bounce back,” said Garrett coach John Bodey. “Prairie Heights is kind of similar; they have shooters like Eastside does. Our intensity on
defense was pretty darn good (Saturday night). We did a nice job on one of the best players in the area, (Jacob) Heller.” Heights (0-1) came out hot in the first quarter, making its first six shots of the game en route to taking a 17-6 lead late in the first quarter. “It would’ve been pretty easy, after Wednesday night, after that start for us to pack our tent up and go home,” Bodey said. “We had a real good 3 1/2 quarters.” But from there, the Panthers went cold, shooting 11 of 44 (25 percent) for the rest of the game. “We knew McCoy and Kessler were great shooters, and we had to neutralize them,” said PH coach Brett Eltzroth. “After our first quarter run, we relaxed just a

FORT WAYNE – Fremont’s boys basketball team opened its season Saturday night at Blackhawk Christian, and left with some homework to do. Four Braves scored in double figures in a shoot-the-lights-out 85-60 Blackhawk win that laid out for Eagles coach Ted Bookwalter the areas his team needs to improve. But Saturday night was more about what Blackhawk did rather than what Fremont didn’t do. “They’re an excellent team,” said Fremont coach Ted Bookwalter. “Individually they all shot the ball well, and anytime you get a team that shoots the ball like that from 3-point range, you know it’s going to be a long night.” And it was. Blackhawk shot 48 percent from 3-point range, draining 14 threes for half its points. It rebounded the basketball with ferocity and scored 21 second-chance points. It SEE EAGLES, PAGE B3

Cavaliers hang BCS final pairing debate begins on to beat Bulls CLEVELAND (AP) — Andrew Bynum and Dion Waiters each scored 20 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers held off a late rally by the Chicago Bulls for a 97-93 victory Saturday night. Bynum, who said earlier in the season he was contemplating retirement as he attempts a comeback from surgery on both knees, had his best all-around game of the season. The 7-footer was 8 of 14 from the field, blocked five shots and had six rebounds. Cleveland, which had lost five straight and eight of nine, built a 12-point lead in fourth quarter, but the Bulls rallied for an 88-87 edge on Tony Snell’s basket with 3:59 remaining. Bynum’s jumper put Cleveland ahead again with 3:35 left, and Kyrie Irving scored after stealing the ball from Kirk Hinrich. Waiters converted another turnover into a layup to put the Cavaliers ahead 93-88 with 2:09 to play. Waiters scored again to give Cleveland a seven-point lead, but Luol Deng’s 3-pointer cut the lead to 95-91. Carlos Boozer’s basket with 40 seconds left cut the lead to 95-93. Following a miss by Bynum, the Bulls called timeout with 17 seconds remaining. Deng drove to the basket but his shot rolled off the rim and the Bulls missed three tip-in attempts. Tristan Thompson grabbed the rebound and made two free throws with 9 seconds remaining sealed the win. Deng scored 27 points for the Bulls, who finished 1-5 on their road trip in which they lost point guard Derrick Rose for the season with a knee injury.
Irving added 19 points for Cleveland. Trailing 82-70, the Bulls went on an 18-5 run and took the lead on Snell’s shot, but the Cavaliers made more plays down the stretch. The Bulls played their fourth game without Rose, who had surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee last week after getting hurt Nov. 22 in Portland. Chicago also was blown out by 39 points by the Los Angeles Clippers and lost in overtime to Utah during the trip. The Bulls ended a four-game losing streak with Friday’s 99-79 win at Detroit. Cleveland led by five points at halftime, but started the third period with a 15-5 run to lead 71-56 midway through the quarter. Chicago had won 12 of its last 13 games against Cleveland, including a 96-81 home victory on Nov. 11, but the Cavaliers scored the game’s first seven points, forcing Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau to use a 20-second timeout at the 10:38 mark. The Cavaliers scored 27 points and were 11 of 18 from the field in the first quarter after being held to 10 points in the opening period Friday in a 103-86 loss at Boston. The Bulls survived Cleveland’s strong start and took their first lead less than a minute into the second period. The game was tied nine times in the quarter and Cleveland led 56-51 at halftime. The Cavaliers, who usually struggle offensively, shot 59 percent in the half. Snell and Taj Gibson each scored 18 points for Chicago. Notes: Bynum blocked consecutive shots on the same possession by Joakim Noah in the first quarter.

Auburn’s latest miracle victory, and Ohio State’s thrilling win against Michigan, has opened the door to the BCS title game to the Buckeyes. Or has it? The debate has already begun, though there is still so much left to be decided. And as Saturday proved, nothing can be assumed in college football. No. 4 Auburn used a field goal return TD on the last play of regulation to beat No. 1 Alabama 34-28 and clinch a spot in the SEC title game next week against either South Carolina or Missouri. No. 3 Ohio State’s 42-41 victory over Michigan sent the Buckeyes to the Big Ten title game against No. 11 Michigan State with an unbeaten record. No. 2 Florida State will take over the top spot in the BCS standings and polls on Sunday, and the Buckeyes will likely be second. The Seminoles play Duke in the ACC title game next Saturday. But the question is already being asked: If Auburn can win the SEC title with one loss, should it go to the BCS championship over an undefeated team, like Ohio State, because it played a tougher schedule? No. 4 Auburn 34, No. 1 Alabama 28 In Auburn, Ala., that crazy tipped pass for a long game-winning touchdown is now the second-most stunning and improbable play of Auburn’s wild season. Yes, the Tigers found a way to top “The Immaculate Deflection.” Chris Davis returned a missed field-goal attempt more than 100 yards for a touchdown on the final play to lift No. 4 Auburn to a 34-28 victory over No. 1 Alabama on Saturday, upending the two-time defending national

Auburn cornerback Chris Davis (11) returns a missed field-goal attempt 100-plus yards to score the game-winning touchdown as time expired in
champions’ BCS hopes and preserving the Tigers’ own. “We’re a team of destiny,” Davis said. “We won’t take no for an answer.” He delivered a play that deserves its own nickname. Say the Happiest Return. Or the saddest, depending on which side of the Iron Bowl you sit. Davis caught the ball about 9 yards deep in the end zone after freshman Adam Griffith’s 57-yard attempt fell short. He then sprinted down the left sideline and cut back with nothing but teammates around him in a second straight hard-to-fathom finish for the Tigers (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference). “I knew when I caught the ball I would have room to run,” Davis said. “I knew they would have big guys on the field to protect on the field goal. “When I looked back, I said, ‘I can’t believe this.’” Auburn clinched a spot in the SEC championship game with the stunning victory over the powerhouse from across the state. The Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1) several times seemed poised to continue its run toward the first three-peat in modern college football, but couldn’t put the Tigers away. Asked if it was the biggest win of his career, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said: “It ranks right up there.” But he said he’d “probably” still celebrate just like he has since his high school coaching days: With a Waffle House meal.
the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game against No. 1 Alabama in Auburn, Ala., Saturday. Auburn won 34-28.
“That’s what you coach for, that’s what these kids play for, to get a chance to win the SEC championship,” Malzahn said. The Tigers put it away just when overtime on tap. The public address announcer in the stadium had already declared the game 28-28 at the end of regulation. But Alabama got 1 second restored and one more play after a review of T.J. Yeldon’s run to the Auburn 39. That gave the Tide coach Nick Saban a chance to try the long field goal — and now he probably wished he never did, given the stunning result. “It was a great game,” Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron said. “Sometimes luck just isn’t on your side. “It’s one of those crazy plays. It’s almost like a video game. That’s something you do on Madden or NCAA. It’s just a wild play.” No. 2 Florida State 37, Florida 7 In Gainesville, Fla., Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes to Kelvin Benjamin, and Florida State moved a step closer to playing for the national championship. The Seminoles improved to 12-0 for the first time since 1999 and likely will earn a spot in the Bowl Championship Series title game by beating Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game Saturday. Florida, meanwhile, ended its worst season since
1979. The Gators (4-8) lost their final seven games and missed a bowl for the first time since 1990. Florida’s bowl streak had been the second-longest in the country, behind Florida State. The Seminoles were four-touchdown favorites in this lopsided matchup — that lived up to advance billing. No. 9 Baylor 41, TCU 38 In Fort Worth, Texas, Bryce Petty threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and Baylor returned two interceptions for scores. The Bears (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) scored 21 straight points on either side of halftime with just 1 yard from their high-powered offense and bounced back from a blowout loss at Oklahoma State to maintain their hopes for a share of the conference title. Baylor could win the league outright and qualify for a BCS bid, likely the Fiesta Bowl, if it beats Texas and the Cowboys lose to Oklahoma next Saturday. The Horned Frogs (4-8, 2-7) were in position to tie in the final seconds, but Casey Pachall threw his third interception on a pass tipped by receiver Brandon Carter and grabbed by Baylor’s Terrell Burt in the end zone with 11 seconds left. No. 24 Duke 27, North Carolina 25 In Chapel Hill, N.C., Ross Martin kicked a 27-yard field goal with 2:22 left and Duke completed an improbable run to reach the ACC championship game. Anthony Boone threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns to Jamison Crowder as the Blue Devils (10-2, 6-2 ACC) clinched the Coastal Division championship with their eighth straight victory. DeVon Edwards’ interception with 13 seconds left clinched the long-suffering program’s first 10-win season.

Dwenger nipped in 4A final INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Top-ranked Columbus East, stymied for most of the second half after building a three-touchdown lead, needed a 73-yard touchdown drive with 3:42 to play and kicker Paul Baker’s extra point for a 28-27 victory over Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger in the IHSAA Class 4A State Finals on Saturday. “They just had a lot of character,” Columbus East coach Bob Gaddis said of his players. “I thought they reacted really well with a lot of heart and a lot of character.” On the previous possession, Dwenger took a 27-21 lead with 9:10 remaining. The Saints faked the conversion kick, but Columbus East stopped a mishandled two-point conversion running attempt. “We came to win,” Dwenger coach Chris Svarczkopf said. “I think if you want to question that, you want to question all the other calls that worked in the second half.” Markell Jones, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound junior, rushed 32 times for 197 yards and two touchdowns for Columbus East (15-0), which won its second championship. Jones felt responsible after losing the ball on a fumble at the Dwenger 2, score tied, near the end of the third quarter. “We were right there,” he said. “We were so close, and I felt like I let us down. I felt like if anyone was going to stop these dudes, it was going to be our defense. We got the

and great players can forget that,” he said. “We always talk about that to the kids: ‘Forget the last play, make the next play,’ and he did a great job.” Quarterback Mike Fiacable completed 20 of 27 passes for 280 yards and three TDs for Dwenger (11-4). He threw scoring strikes of 15 yards to Gabe Espinoza and nine and 20 yards to Gus Schrader. The contest ended on
a wild note as Dwenger attempted another rally. The Saints had driven to a third-and-14 at the Columbus East 49 with 54 seconds remaining. As he looked to pass, Fiacable was hit in the back and fumbled. Teammate Nathan Niece recovered and gained 10 yards, but Columbus East defensive back Tyler Campbell ripped the ball away, and the Olympians then ran out the clock.

BUCKEYES: Gardner has big game for Michigan in the loss FROM PAGE B1
the Big Ten title game next Saturday in Indianapolis, needing to beat the Spartans — and have No. 1 Alabama or No. 2 Florida State lose a game to have a chance to reach the BCS national championship game. No. 4 Auburn provided an assist by defeating the Crimson Tide by returning a missed field goal 100 yards on the final play for a 34-28 victory. The Wolverines (7-5, 3-5) started strong as a 16 1-2-point underdog and didn’t wilt when Ohio State went up 35-21 late in the third quarter, one drive after Gardner threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-2 when Hoke opted against attempting a 31-yard field goal. “They didn’t let up at all,” Miller said. Michigan, though, couldn’t make a pivotal play in a shootout that might’ve given it the biggest upset in the series since Bo Schembechler’s first team at Michigan beat what Woody Hayes said was his best Buckeyes squad in 1969. “I threw an interception that cost us the win,” said Gardner, who limped into a news conference with a protective boot on his left foot. “That’s what I will remember.” Miller ran for 153 yards and three TDs and threw for 133 yards and two scores. Hyde ran for 226 yards to
help Ohio State win for the ninth time in 10 games against Michigan, but he fumbled in the fourth quarter to help Michigan tie the game for a fourth time with 5:01 left. Both teams scored at least 41 points for the first time in their rivalry that dates to 1897. “I have such great respect for this rivalry,” Meyer said. “Coach Hayes was from a different generation. He would have wanted a 10-9 game, but he would have wanted to see the two teams playing as hard as they can.” Gardner was 32 of 45 for 451 yards and four TDs, connecting nine times for 175 yards and a score to Jeremy Gallon, and ran for a 1-yard TD that gave Michigan the first lead in the high-scoring game that went to halftime tied at 21. Gardner fumbled in the third quarter and Ohio State took advantage of the turnover on the ensuing drive with a Miller’s go-ahead, 3-yard TD. It was a slug fest — literally for a few moments. The teams exchanged pushes and some punches in the second quarter after a Michigan kickoff. The Buckeyes lost starting right guard Marcus Hall and kick returner Dontre Wilson and the Wolverines lost backup linebacker Royce Jenkins-Stone to ejections. All three players were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and had to leave.
Lauren Tait and Kelsey Henselmeier added eight points each for Trine. Henselmeier also had four assists and two blocked shots while Tait had three steals. Amy Newell grabbed eight rebounds. Cori Connor had 10 points and four rebounds for Anderson.

The Student Princes (3-2) led 35-30 at the half, then shot 60 percent from the field in the second half (15-25) in pulling away from the Thunder. Deonte Holder had 16 points and Cole Williams had 14 for Heidelberg. Jared Holmquist had 15 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots for Trine (1-2). Freshman Will Dixon had 14 points.
PANTHERS: Heller leads PH with 25 points in a losing cause FROM PAGE B1
Jacob Heller ended the run. “We were in the bonus, and Justin kept driving and got open looks,” Bodey said. Garrett took a 32-23 lead into the halftime break, but Heights would use points from Zach Shepard and Heller to cut the Railroader advantage to 34-29 with 4:30 left in the third. And that’s where Kessler took over. The sophomore, who hit two 3-pointers in the first quarter, scored seven points in the last 4-plus minutes, hitting a 3-pointer with 1:30 left and then making a short jumper with a minute left to give Garrett a 43-33 lead. But Heights once again rallied back, using a 6-0 run to cut the margin to 43-39 with 6:30 left. But Garrett would once again respond, going on an 11-1 run over the next three-plus minutes — with five points coming from McCoy — to lead 54-40. The
Stanford fights off Notre Dame STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Wayne Lyons intercepted two passes from Tommy Rees late in the fourth quarter, and No. 8 Stanford held off No. 25 Notre Dame 27-20 on Saturday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Cardinal (10-2) overcame two interceptions from Kevin Hogan and a penalty that wiped away another touchdown to win their 16th consecutive home game. Stanford will play for its second straight Pac-12 title and Rose Bowl berth next week when it faces No. 13 Arizona State in the conference championship game. If Arizona State beats rival Arizona late Saturday night, the conference championship will be held in Tempe, Ariz. Otherwise it will be at Stanford, which handed the Sun Devils their only league loss this season. The final tuneup for that game turned out to be another tough test. Tyler Gaffney ran for 189 yards and a touchdown, and Hogan threw for 158 yards and TD pass to Devon Cajuste to help the Cardinal take a 21-6 lead in the third quarter. Rees nearly rallied the Fighting Irish (8-4) by throwing two touchdown passes later in the quarter. But
interceptions on Notre Dame’s final two drives dashed Notre Dame’s come back. Stanford relied on its power running game to control the tempo throughout, but blew several chances to pull away. Gaffney plowed through the Irish line from a yard out to give the Cardinal a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter. The bunched formation was similar to the one Notre Dame stopped Stepfan Taylor on last year to win in overtime, a stinging loss that the Cardinal regrouped from to roll off eight straight victories, including the Pac-12 title and the Rose Bowl. Backup Anthony Wilkerson capped the opening drive of the second half in similar fashion. He ran for a 20-yard TD run on third-and-9 to put Stanford ahead 21-6. Notre Dame drove deep in Stanford territory on its first and final drives of the first half before settling for field goals each time. With Stanford seemingly ready to turn the game into a rout, Rees rallied the Irish by throwing touchdown passes to TJ Jones and DaVaris Daniels late in the third quarter. Mistakes nearly cost the Cardinal late.

Wade Regadanz and Caleb Presley each scored 16 points to lead the Eagles, who shot 43.5 percent from the field and scored 23 bench points. Blackhawk was paced by Wes Davidson, who finished with a game-high 26 points. The junior worked inside effectively, slashing around for lay-ins and rising above defenders to create shots.

The Spartans’ top-ranked defense forced three turnovers and kept the Golden Gophers out of the end zone, repeating a formula that has brought Michigan State within a win of the Rose Bowl.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Nebraska AD supports Pelini BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini is safe for now. Athletic director Shawn Eichorst issued a statement Saturday expressing support for Pelini and his staff and quashing speculation that the sixth-year coach’s job was in jeopardy following a disappointing regular season. The Cornhuskers are 8-4, 5-3 in the Big Ten, after their 38-17 loss to Iowa on Friday. Pelini is 57-24 at Nebraska, but the school has not won a conference title since 1999. The Huskers will learn their bowl destination next weekend. Eichorst, who is in his first full year as athletic director, until Saturday had adhered to his policy of not commenting about his coaches until after their seasons. “However,” he said in his statement, “given the volume of unfounded speculation and conjecture about our head football coach, I want to reaffirm what I have said many times since I have arrived at the University of Nebraska — that I positively respect, appreciate and support our football student-athletes, coaches and staff, as we do everyone in the Husker family. “We very much look forward to our upcoming bowl game and Coach Pelini continuing to lead our program in the future.” A message seeking comment was left on Pelini’s cell phone. Pelini is under contract through the 2017 season and is paid almost $3 million a year. Pelini’s contract is extended one year after each season he receives a positive job review from the athletic director. Former athletic director Tom Osborne extended Pelini’s contract last year just a few days after the 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game. It wasn’t known when Pelini’s next job evaluation would be done. Eichorst was not available for comment beyond his statement.
Dolphins’ Jonathan Martin put on non-football injury list DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Jonathan Martin’s season is officially over. The Miami Dolphins put the troubled offensive tackle on the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday, freeing up his roster spot so safety D.J. Campbell could be promoted from the team’s practice squad. The move was not unexpected. Martin left the Dolphins on Oct. 28, the start of what became an explosive probe into allegations that a culture of bullying was around the team and inside its locker room. Offensive lineman Richie Incognito was suspended Nov. 3 for his alleged role in the turmoil. Media reports Friday said the Dolphins and Incognito agreed to extend his suspension past the four-week window typically allowed by league rule, and that Incognito would resume getting paid. Investigator Ted Wells’ probe of the team and its workplace environment is ongoing.
Harvin doubtful for Monday RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Percy Harvin is listed as doubtful to play Monday night for Seattle against the New Orleans Saints because of lingering soreness in his surgically repaired hip. Harvin made his debut with the Seahawks two weeks ago against the Minnesota Vikings and appeared in 21 total plays, 19 offensive snaps and two plays on special teams. Harvin made one catch for 17 yards and returned a kickoff 58 yards in his only two touches in the game. Coach Pete Carroll expected Harvin to be fully integrated into the offense coming out of their bye, but Harvin was unable to practice during the week. “We thought that (the soreness) would go with a week break and all of that, but it just lasted a little longer than we thought, and if anything at all is not right we’re not going with him,” Carroll said. “We’re going to make sure he’s 100 percent before we go.” Harvin’s hip remains sore and hasn’t responded the way the Seahawks expected coming out of the game. Carroll said they don’t see any structural issues with the hip. “He’s just sore and so we don’t want to push beyond that right now. It’s not worth it,” Carroll said.
Bronco out after health scare ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe was alert and recovering at a Denver hospital Saturday after suffering seizure-like symptoms when the team’s bus pulled into the airport Friday afternoon for the flight to Kansas City. Wolfe won’t play in Sunday’s showdown against the Chiefs. Team doctors began treating Wolfe on the bus, then summoned an ambulance to take him to a hospital, where the secondyear pro from the University of Cincinnati underwent a battery of tests Friday night and Saturday. It was determined that Wolfe didn’t suffer a stroke or a full-blown seizure, but the Broncos didn’t specify the exact cause of his symptoms, saying only that he was doing better Saturday evening and that he was alert and communicating with others It’s not known when Wolfe will be released from the hospital or when he’ll be cleared to resume football. He was fine at Friday’s practice and in the locker room afterward. It was only when the bus was pulling into the airport about 90 minutes later that he fell mysteriously ill.

The Sunday Business Report • Lutheran Life Villages honors 18 employees KENDALLVILLE — Lutheran Life Villages recently recognized 18 employees at its annual employee service award dinner. The dinner recognizes employees for years of service and perfect
attendance. Employees honored had a combined total of 133 years of service. One honoree, June Kuhn, has contributed 34 years of service. “We are so honored to have such dedicated employees,” said Sue Wolpert, administrator at Kendallville. “Having a team that is knowledgeable,
dedicated and engaged fosters not only a better environment but also the delivery of high quality care to our residents.” Lutheran Life Villages at Kendallville has earned deficiency-free surveys for the past three consecutive years from the Indiana State Board of Health and has a 5-star rating by Medicare, Wolpert said.
Holiday pop--up stores emerge NEW YORK (AP) — Here today, gone in weeks — pop-up shops and temporary stores are back for the holiday season. At Christmas Lights Etc.’s Atlanta showroom, the public gets to shop for about month-and-a-half, browsing the high-end Christmas trees, lighting and other holiday decorations. The temporary store pulls in additional sales and the company finds it’s good marketing for its core business of selling online and to commercial and wholesale customers. The yearly sale draws families from far and wide. Some drive five hours to see Christmas trees as tall as 25 feet (customers can order taller trees). Workers clean, freshen the paint and bring in new inventory for their holiday guests. “If customers have a good experience here, like the product, like the people, they’ll come back next year
when they need lights or a tree and they’ll recommend you to their friends,” says marketing director Hillary Zody. The sale at Christmas Lights Etc., is one of many temporary stores that open during the holidays. These shops, often called “pop-ups” sometimes produce extra income, but small business owners increasingly use them as promotional tools and test labs for merchandise. Manufacturers, designers and online retailers use them to decide whether to open an actual store. STARTUP STRATEGY A pop-up store was part of the startup plan for Zady, an online clothing and home goods retailer that launched in late August. Owners Maxine Bedat and Soraya Darabi chose a high-profile location, in the Delta Airlines terminal at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The store operates from
Nov. 4 until Jan. 4. They wanted to get feedback about their merchandise, which includes $395 sweaters and $225 jeans. “We have all sorts of metrics to see what customers are doing on the website, but nothing compares to actually seeing them interact with our products,” Bedat says. So far, they’re getting food feedback. It’s too soon to tell now if the season will be a success, but if it is, Zady’s owners say they’ll consider more pop-ups, and perhaps a permanent store. VERIFYING INSTINCTS Janet Holian opened a pop-up in Boston to see if Gemvara, her online custom jewelry business, would succeed with a physical location. The shop opened in a vacant store on Nov. 3 and will operate until Feb. 15, longer than most pop-ups, to take advantage of Valentine’s Day.

The total cost of all this to the taxpayers of Indiana has yet to be determined. The matter is still in the courts and attorneys for both sides are still billing. As far as I know, the federal health insurance debacle has not produced any similar lawsuits thus far. Yet the situation seems remarkably similar to the Indiana experience. Health insurance, governed by politically appointed commissioners in the various states, is as sensitive an area as welfare. In addition, health insurance has many more interested parties capable of expressing their discontent with any attempt to modify the existing system. The computer companies contracted by the federal government are not household names like IBM. They may become such by the time this current news cycle is over. But clearly, there must have been the same type of disconnect between the government and the contractors as we had in Indiana. Perhaps Mitch could call Barack and tell him how to come out untarnished from this foul-up. MORTON J.

Thanksgiving takes many holiday shoppers major retailers. Black Friday is a time when retailers open early and offer deep discounts, but a few started opening and offering those discounts on Thanksgiving in the past couple of years. And this year, at least a dozen did so, with a few opening earlier in the holiday than they did last year. The National Retail Federation, a retail trade group, predicted that 33 million, or almost a quarter, of the 140 million people who planned to shop during the four-day holiday weekend that ends on Sunday, would do so on Thanksgiving. And analysts questioned whether the holiday openings would steal sales away from Black Friday or result in people spending more overall. “Retailers were pretty successful in drawing the consumers into the stores on Thursday,� said
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Thanksgiving Day is no longer all about turkey: It’s eating away at Black Friday shopping. U.S. shoppers spent $9.74 billion on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. That’s a drop of 13.2 percent compared with last year, according to data on Saturday by research firm ShopperTrak. The decline appears to show that more Americans shopped on the holiday itself: Combined spending on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, which had been considered the official start to the holiday buying season until this year, rose 2.3 percent to $12.3 billion. The data reflects that Thanksgiving, which along with Christmas was one of two days a year that most stores were closed, is becoming an important day for
ShopperTrak founder Bill Martin, whose company counts how many shoppers go into about 40,000 stores in U.S. But “Thursday’s sales came at the expense of Black Friday’s numbers.� The decline in sales on Black Friday was the second one in a row. Last year, sales on that day dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion, though it still was the biggest shopping day last year, according to ShopperTrak. Despite the big drop this year, Shoppertrak’s Martin said he thinks Black Friday will remain the biggest shopping day of the year for the 10th consecutive year. But if retailers continue to promote Thanksgiving as the start of the holiday buying season, he thinks the holiday will eventually surpass Black Friday in sales. “We’re just taking Black Friday
sales and spreading them across a larger number of days,� Martin said. There will be a clearer picture of sales for the first holiday shopping weekend on Sunday when The National Retail Federation releases data. Overall, the retail trade group expects sales to be up 3.9 percent to $602 billion for the season, which encompasses the last two months of the year. That’s higher than last year’s 3.5 percent growth, but below the 6 percent pace seen before the recession. Some retailers said the holiday shopping season is off to a good start. Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, said it sold 2 million TVs and 1.4 million tablets on the holiday, while Macy’s said 15,000 people showed up to the 8 p.m. opening of its flagship New York
City store on the holiday. Edwin Molina, 30, a New Yorker who works in construction, waited with his wife in line for an hour at a Best Buy that opened at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving. He said he likes the holiday openings. “It was better, less hectic,� he said. But not everyone liked the earlier start to the shopping season. Workers’ rights groups and some shoppers led small protests to decry the way some store employees had to miss holiday meals at home. And as his wife shopped in a mall near Atlanta on Black Friday, Curtis Akins, 51, sat on a bench, lamenting the holiday openings. “It’s taking away from the traditional Thanksgiving,� Akins said.

College application process intimidating to some WASHINGTON (AP) — Sometimes, all it takes is a $7 burrito gift card to get high school seniors to submit their college applications early. “You always have some students who say, ‘I don’t want to go to college,’ but they don’t realize whatever it is in life, they need to go to college for it,� said adviser Martin Copeland at Theodore Roosevelt High School in the District of Columbia. “They don’t realize it until May. For those students, these incentives work.� President Barack Obama’s goal is that by 2020, America will again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the
world. To reach it, more low-income and first-generation students must earn a degree. The first hurdle is getting these students to apply. Even as a larger percentage of students from every income go to college compared to the late 1980s, some don’t even consider it. Cost is a huge factor, as is a lack of understanding about scholarships and student loans. Even application fees can be financially taxing. And the process gets even harder if there’s no computer at home. Many low-income students would be the first in their family to go to college. If their parents
haven’t gone through the application process, there may be no one at home to help guide them. Then there’s the big decision: Where to apply? Some students think that “because of where we come from ‌ we aren’t going to get in,â€? said Scheryl Duarte, 17, a Theodore Roosevelt student who wants to become a nurse. She had planned to join the military and hadn’t even considered college until a representative from Delaware State University spoke to her class. “It’s hard,â€? Duarte said of the application process. “It’s really long and boring and it’s the same information over and over again.â€?
Much attention has been given to the issue of student loan debt and students failing to graduate from college, but higher-education leaders say college is still a good investment for individuals and the economy. Research has shown people who have a college degree are more likely to have a job and make more in lifetime earnings. Yet, nationally, about half of high school graduates from families making below $18,300 enrolled in college in 2012 compared to about 80 percent of those whose families earned above $90,500, according to the College Board.
In Washington, where Duarte lives, only 30 percent of high school graduates go to college — a lower percentage than the number who drop out of high school, despite the city having the highest level of college attainment in the nation, according to the College Board. Nearly all the students at Roosevelt qualify for free or reduced lunches. To help create a collegegoing culture, a bulletin board near the school’s front doors features the names of seniors and the colleges they were accepted to. College acceptances are announced over the intercom. As part of the American Council on Education’s
American College Application Campaign, Chipotle gift cards were being handed out at Roosevelt. Now in 39 states, the campaign works with states, districts and schools to focus one week a year on activities to help students with the application process. Activities vary by school and are geared toward students who have completed a college ready curriculum. The mission is two-fold: assist students as they fill out applications during the school day and help spread enthusiasm about college. The program has enlisted retired teachers, business leaders, college admissions counselors and others.

Auburn Pet Cremation by Pinnington-McComb offers pet cremation, funeral services and an array of items for pet funerals.
Honoring our FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS Pet funerals and other ways of memorializing beloved pets becoming more popular
BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
A
s part of the landscape at the home of Sandy Blilie of Angola is a Rainbow Bridge painted with bright colors, paw prints and the names of her pets who have passed on. Blilie’s bridge is small and wooden, but large in remembering 10 of her four-legged friends from a nine-year period. “‘The Rainbow Bridge’ is part of a poem that when a pet dies, they go to a heavenly place and they’re waiting,” she said, adding there’s different versions of the poem. Blilie said her bridge is healing to her. She has memorialized her late pets in other ways through stepping stones, decorative urns and jewelry. Her dogs and cats are pictured in tiny picture frames that adorn her home. She recently completed her pet bereavement certification. “The main thing for myself is that it’s a legitimate grief. This is the same type of grief for anyone in your life,” Blilie, who has led pet grief support,
said. “People aren’t sure of opening up. Our pets are in our lives every day and I’ve noticed more funeral homes handle” pet loss. Americans lavish their pets with love and care; more than $55 billion is spent on them annually. With that, pet funerals as a mode of memorial is increasing. Alex Pinnington, co-owner of Auburn Pet Cremation by Pinnington-McComb, said he offers pet cremation, plus funeral services. Pinnington said two different types of pet cremation are offered for domestic animals up to 250 pounds and prices differ by size and type. Exclusive individual private cremation involves the animal being

alone in the chamber and starts at $150. Semi private cremation starts at $110 and involves animals being placed in the chamber, but with dividers between other pets. The process is separate from human cremation. In addition, Pinnington said for many, receiving ashes back is comforting. Ashes can be made into mantel pieces. Others choose to make a memorial wreath. He has heard of some people sending their pet ashes to space or incorporating them into fireworks. “Pets are part of the family When you lose them — they want to be close,” he said.
Paw and nose prints Kathy Young of Young Family Funeral Home in Kendallville offers a pet owner the chance to memorialize his or her four-legged friend with a paw or nose print. It can then be made into jewelry. Young has other pet funeral services available with desired special touches. “Caskets for animals are heavy plastic up to 100 pounds. Some people choose an infant casket,” she said. Prices on such caskets start at $50. Young said the death of a pet can be traumatizing. “Someone’s pet becomes their family and it’s devastating,” she said. She did note more people are taking care of their pets, even in death.

Grief and pet loss
The decision to euthanize Susie Zimmer shares her husband, Dr. Matt Zimmer’s, strong opinion that the veterinary medicine field should not be about profiting off a sick animal. “Having a pet is a privilege. It should never be exploited by a veterinarian or healing arts,” Susie said. “You have to support humane care and treat them like family.” The owners of Pokagon Veterinary Hospital, Angola, said it’s instead about the quality of life for the owner and pet that’s all part of the living bond. The death of a pet is natural and sometimes owners are faced with the decision to euthanize. Susie said the right answer about whether to euthanize a pet isn’t the same for everyone. When that decision

needs to be made, options are usually given by veterinary staff. Whenever possible at their hospital, Susie said efforts are made to rely on the humane society for assistance with placing adoptable pets rather than euthanizing.
Along with funerals, other options for dealing with the death of a pet include freeze drying, taxidermy, creating synthetic diamonds out of ashes, incorporating ashes into wreaths, sending ashes into outer space or shooting ashes up with fireworks.

Bonnie Buell, owner of Pawsitively Paradise, Angola, said the loss of a pet is traumatic. But she pointed out pets also grieve. Buell has held some grief workshops and is planning others in the future that will be announced. She shared the following that was written by Dr. Margaret Muns, who noted each person or animal experiences grief differently: • Give yourself permission to grieve. • Memorialize your pet, as it makes the loss real and helps with closure. • Get lots of rest, good nutrition and exercise. • Let others care for you and surround yourself with people who understand the loss. • Accept the feelings that accompany grief and be patient. • Don’t be afraid to get help through pet loss support groups or grief counselors.

2013’s best books to get you thinking about food THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Let’s all stop being coy and fess up, shall we? The truth is, even those of us who work with cookbooks, write about cookbooks, collect cookbooks — heck, even write cookbooks ourselves — don’t actually cook from cookbooks. At least not nearly as frequently as we’d like to/ promise ourselves we will/ tell others we do. As food has morphed ever more into a pop culture fixture, cookbooks — with their lush photos, their provocative prose, their tempting, come hither recipes — have become the porn of the food set. Which sounds flip, but actually is significant. For if we still love cookbooks — and by all accounts we certainly seem to — but no longer see them primarily as a source of dinner inspiration, our selection criteria also must change. A good cookbook back in the day was defined mostly by quality of the recipes alone. So it is with this mindset that I made my picks for the best food books of 2013, the ones I would hope to get or gift this holiday season.
“The Art of Simple Food II” — by Alice Waters (Clarkson Potter, $35) Alice Waters makes the simplest of foods seem revelatory, even celebratory. This book, a follow to her 2007 “The Art of Simple Food,” does what so few true cookbooks seem able to these days — it inspires and makes you want to cook, to explore ingredients. Not because of whiz-bang sci-fi gastronomy or because of celebrity or any other trendiness. It’s because Waters embraces food as a beautiful thing unto itself.
“Notes From the Larder” — by Nigel Slater (Ten Speed Press, $40) Nigel Slater is a master of the journal-cum-cookbook format. He has an elegant simplicity of language that transports you to his garden, his kitchen, his table. “Notes From the Larder” is only the latest journal-style import from this Englishman, and it will leave you ready to dive into his previous volumes. Slater probably is best known in the U.S. for his memoir-turned-movie “Toast,” which recounts

“Smoke & Pickles” by Edward Lee.
Ruth Bowman Butler, IN
a childhood spent finding himself via food. Books like “Notes From the Larder” make you glad he did. His recipes are simple, yet deftly draw you in. It doesn’t hurt that the photography is splendid.
“Mast Brothers Chocolate” — by Rick Mast and Michael Mast (Little, Brown and Co., $40) Gratuitous, over-the-top odes to all things chocolate have become annoyingly common on the cookbook scene. It’s a tired format usually built on precious, fussy recipes that rarely inspire, no matter who the author. This book is different. The Mast brothers — known best to Brooklyn hipsters as the men behind local chocolate company Mast Brothers Chocolate — have written a book of delicious simplicity, filled with recipes so evocatively photographed and so clearly written, you will cook from it. Start slow. Try the chocolate soda. Then the chocolate crunch. No need to thank me.
“Smoke & Pickles” — by Edward Lee (Artisan, $29.95) Edward Lee earned his fame on Season 9 of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” but he earned his credibility for his brash, yet respectful reimagining of Southern cuisine. A Korean-American who grew up in New York, Lee’s only connection to the South was a road trip. But he fell in love with the culture and its food, and it shows in his cooking. Like his Louisville, Ky., restaurant 610 Magnolia, his first cookbook, “Smoke & Pickles,” is a delicious amalgam of his cultures. Pulled pork gets sauced with bourbon and black bean paste. A T-bone gets marinated with lemon grass, Anyone who loves Southern cooking — or anyone who claims to “know” Southern cooking is — will want this book.

Studio 7 presents ‘Carol’ on Dec. 15 KENDALLVILLE — The Studio 7 drama ministry will present “Carol,” an original musical drama, at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, at the First Church of God, 111 S. Oak St., Kendallville. The program is free and open to the public. “Carol” is a modern-day story inspired by Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The play follows Solomon Lynch, a self-centered 21st Century version of Ebenezer Scrooge, as he is confronted about the choices he has made in his life by several characters from Dickens’ tale, including Scrooge himself. “There are elements of it that are going to touch the lives of probably every person who is in the audience,” said Studio 7 director Susan Kane. “It’s not fluff, it’s not light, but the end result is exactly what I think we all hope is a part of our lives. It shows the hope of Christmas. It shows the reason that Christ came. It’s very current and very relevant to people who will come.” “The idea for ‘Carol’ came from a conversation I had with Susan Kane about
the performance Studio 7 did of ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ two years ago,” said the play’s author, James Tew, an award-winning video journalist and columnist for KPC Media Group. “‘Charlie Brown’ was very well-received by the community, and we thought it would be nice to do something again that would be familiar to people,” Tew said. “However, I didn’t want to just do another retelling of ‘A Christmas Carol,’ since it’s been done so much. The elements of ‘A Christmas Carol’ are still there – Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Future — but hopefully there are enough surprises in ‘Carol’ to keep it interesting for the audience.” With an estimated performance time of 90 minutes, “Carol” features five vocal soloists and one ensemble, as well as musical numbers highlighting the most extensive choreography of any Studio 7 production. The cast includes many members who are not only longtime veterans of Studio 7 but participate in other

of the church. “The ‘happy’ holidays can become an overwhelming experience of mourning for those dealing with a significant loss in their lives, whether it is a loved one, a job, an unwelcome life transition or some other form of loss,” Bahrt said. “Yet, even for those uncomfortable with the
celebration of the Christmas season, there is still a wish and need to observe the holy day of Christ’s birth and the great gift of love and hope it represents.” The “Longest Night” worship service is held on the evening of the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, Bahrt said. From this day forward through the

• “Many times, we touch lives we never see again.” There are daily or weekly services but most ministering occurs elsewhere. Chaplains see troops off to war and are on hand when bodies of the fallen return. They comfort fliers visiting sick relatives and those traveling for medical treatment themselves. During weather delays, chaplains take the heat off gate agents by standing nearby — passengers tend to be on their best behavior when in the presence of a priest. They aren’t at airports to proselytize and — surprisingly — very few passengers confess to a fear of flying. Often, the chaplains just roam terminals offering a friendly face and occasional directions. Some walk up to seven miles a day. “When I came into the job, my predecessor said you have to buy good shoes,” says the Rev. Jean-Pierre Dassonville, a Protestant who just retired after 12 years at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris. Chaplains need outgoing personalities. They have to recognize the signs that something is wrong and know how to approach strangers. The Rev. Wina Hordijk, a Protestant minister at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, recently saw a teenage girl sitting by herself, crying. The girl was supposed to travel throughout Europe with her boyfriend — but he dumped her at the start of the trip. “I always have a lot of handkerchiefs in my bag,” Hordijk says. Then there are the more serious situations. The Rev. Jonathan Baldwin, who is assigned by The Church of England to London’s Gatwick Airport, was once asked by a couple to

remaining winter and spring seasons, each day grows longer and brighter and, likewise, each new moment of life may grow brighter and more hope-filled through God’s gift to the world at Christmas. By acknowledging our loss, reflecting on life, and looking for God’s hand at work in our grief, we will
find a way together, in the presence of God, to find hope and comfort amid holiday celebrations, he said. All are welcome. Refreshments and a time of fellowship will follow the service for those who wish to participate. The church is located at 411 E. Harding St in Kendallville.
Airport chaplains let fliers connect with heavens ATLANTA (AP) — The Rev. Frank Colladay Jr. stood at the end of the gate waiting. On the arriving plane was a passenger whose husband had just died of a heart attack on another flight. Her name was Linda Gilbert. The two had never met before. Colladay’s parish happens to be the world’s busiest airport. His flock consists of people passing through who might need comfort, spiritual advice, or someone to pray with. On this day, a traumatized Gilbert needed even more. Colladay guided her through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, drove her in his silver Ford Fusion to the medical examiner to see her husband’s body and arranged for a flight home for both of them. “He didn’t say a whole lot. But just his presence being there, it just felt comforting and reassuring,” Gilbert says. “I didn’t know that airports have chaplains.” Most people don’t. Airports are mini-cities with their own movie theaters, fire departments and shopping malls. Many also have chapels, typically tiny nondenominational spaces in out-of-the-way locations. They offer an escape from constant gate change and security announcements and are staffed by 350 part- and full-time chaplains worldwide — Roman Catholic, Protestant and, to a lesser extent, Jewish, Muslim or Sikh. The positions are highly sought-after and considered glamorous, with chaplains saying they love the excitement and unpredictability of airports. The job is unlike other church assignments. There isn’t a permanent congregation. No baptisms, weddings or funerals. Instead, airport chaplains preach to a crowd that is transient by nature. Trust must be earned quickly. There’s little time for small talk. Everybody is rushing to catch a flight. “You only get one chance to impress them; one chance to help them,” says Bishop D.D. Hayes, a nondenominational pastor at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

join them as their son and his new wife returned from their honeymoon. The groom’s sister had committed suicide the day after the wedding. Baldwin obtained a quiet room for them to meet, break the news and cry privately. Chaplains don’t just support fliers; there are also thousands of airport workers. Employees at ticket counters, security checkpoints and control towers are under extreme stress. They often need to chat with somebody independent from their job. For those who work Sundays, the airport chapel becomes their de facto church. “You come into a chapel, you know you’re in God’s house,” says Vibert Edwards, who prays daily before starting his shift as a baggage handler at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. To relate, chaplains learn airport lingo, for instance calling workers who unload luggage from planes “ramp rats.” The first airport chapel was founded at Boston’s Logan International Airport in 1954. Today there are chapels as far
away as Geneva, Istanbul and Bangkok. Catholic dioceses assign— and pay — for priests at larger airports. In some cases, airports or airlines will provide financial support. Many chaplains are volunteers. Services are quick and informal. If 20 people arrive, it’s a big crowd. As flights near boarding, worshippers duck out. “People are a little bit uptight already. It’s a great environment for ministry,” says the Rev. Hutz Hertzberg, the senior Protestant chaplain at Chicago’s two airports. “In the 21st century, we need to bring the ministry to where the people are instead of waiting for them to come to our churches.” Getting them to services isn’t always easy. The focus of this year’s annual conference of the International Association of Civil Aviation Chaplains in Atlanta — yes, the chaplains have their own trade group — was marketing. Announcements are made prior to services, but most travelers are too preoccupied with their travel plans to notice. “We sometimes have to reach out to people who have no idea we exist,” says the Rev. Chris Piasta, a Catholic priest at JFK’s Our Lady of the Skies Chapel, home to a statue of Mary standing on a propeller. JFK is one of the few airports with separate chapels for each religion. Most airports share non-denominational spaces. Crosses are placed on altars prior to

services and removed after. Bookshelves are stocked with texts of all religions, often in multiple languages. Even those who know chapels exist sometimes can’t find them. They are tucked away in odd corners of the airport: next to baggage claim in St. Louis, sandwiched between two tram stations in Orlando and above a Cinnabon and barbecue joint in Charlotte, N. C. “Can you imagine the smells we’re getting?,” says Ben Wenning, a Roman Catholic deacon there. Chaplains are also on hand for major crises. When volcanic ash shut down European airspace in 2010, New York’s chaplains provided stranded passengers with bagels and cream cheese, fresh shirts and socks, laptops to check emails and helped refill medications. After a crash, they help console victims’ families. “When the first responders leave, we’re the ones who show up,” says the Rev. Gordon M. Smith, a Protestant chaplain at Canada’s Calgary International Airport.

DEAR ABBY
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2013
Doting Cabbage soup good on cold day granddad overspends
DEAR ABBY: I am ready to explode. My father-in-law dotes on my 16-year-old daughter, who is his only grandchild. The biggest issue, aside from his overspending, is that he takes her to and from school every day and then expects to stay and visit. I have neither the time nor the inclination to sit and chitchat with him about the same old stuff over and over. My husband doesn’t want to be involved. (He doesn’t get home until after his father has left, anyway.) It would probably end up in a nasty fight. I want to politely make “Dad” understand that he doesn’t need to come in every single day. I know he will think we are being negative or against him personally, and from past events, I don’t want to come across in this manner. Please help. — TOO MUCH OF A “GOOD” THING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TOO MUCH: Obviously, your father-in-law doesn’t have enough going on in his life to fill his time. Things won’t change until you manage to set some boundaries. It would not be “negative against him” if you had to go out and run errands or your daughter had to do homework after she gets home from school. It would also not be negative, since you don’t have time to sit and chat, to ask him to pitch in and help with the chores. You might also suggest that he do some volunteer work to fill his time. But you will have to schedule a time for him to feel welcome — perhaps a Sunday dinner — when your husband is home and can help to entertain his father.

DEAR ABBY: We are the parents of two adult children. We have always lived below our means so we could save for college expenses and retirement. Now that our two sons have finished college (with no debt), we splurged and purchased two luxury vehicles. Our oldest son, “Sam,” lives in another state but comes into town for business and pleasure, and when he does, he wants to borrow one of our cars. Although Sam has a good driving record, we are hesitant to loan him one of them. He is no longer on our car policy and can well afford to rent a car. Sam is upset with us and says from now on he will stay with friends. I offered to share the rental expense, but my husband said Sam is an adult now and responsible for his own expenses. Are we being unreasonable by not letting him borrow one of our cars? — CONFLICTED IN DALLAS DEAR CONFLICTED: You have been generous with your children. Many students finish college with a mountain of debt. It appears that Sam is less interested in what you have done for him than what you WILL do. He’s acting like a spoiled brat, and I hope you will stick to your guns because your husband is right. DEAR ABBY: Over many years of travel in the U.S. and Europe, I have collected postcards picturing the main sights. Now it is time to toss the trip memorabilia, but the cards are in pristine condition. Any suggestion as to what could be done with them? — GLOBETROTTER OUT WEST DEAR GLOBETROTTER: If there are schools in your area that offer art classes to the students, you might be able to donate the postcards as material to be used in art projects. Or contact nearby senior centers and ask if they would like to have them to be used for discussion groups or art classes.
We had a few days of sunshine this week. The girls took advantage of it and raked up the rest of the leaves in our yard. We still have some here and there but the most part of them are picked up. What a relief before the weather gets too much cooler! Daughter Elizabeth is off all week from the factory and the school-age children will only have a three-day school week. I bought two turkeys for our Thanksgiving dinner. Both are around 20 pounds. I have only one oven so hopefully I can figure out a way to cook both at the same time. It seems like after Thanksgiving Day is over Christmas seems really close already. Every year just seems to go faster than the one before. Every year we are all another year older. Our third oldest child, Verena, will be 16 in a few weeks. I cannot believe she is that old already. Next year daughter Elizabeth will leave her teenage years. Daughter
Susan will turn 18 in January. Son Benjamin is in his last year of school and daughter Loretta has only one more after this one. I treasure evenings when we all gather around our table to eat supper. THE Everyone AMISH shares about COOK how their days went. Making Lovina Eicher memories! The girls enjoy singing as they wash the supper dishes. It makes you want to stay right in this stage of life. We know it won’t always be like this but trust the Lord will guide us through the years. Time does not stand still for anyone. I probably baked my first

wants to get the best deal possible, and I certainly can’t fault you in that. Yes, the market has dropped, and you believe you may have the choice of whatever falls in your price range. But let me tell you, in some markets, you’re already a little bit late. Some markets have rebounded very well; others are still soft. You are going to have to determine what type of market you are looking at and move accordingly. You can contact lenders about homes that have been foreclosed upon. That’s easy to find out at your county seat, where the foreclosure documents are filed. You can also contact some banks directly and ask who the brokers are that are handling the foreclosures. It may very well be that you should consider homes
that are not in foreclosure — homes being sold by people who are trying to get out from under. If nothing else, you are going to find that type of transaction is a lot clearer and easier, certainly less time-consuming.

and last gooseberry pie. It was not a hit with Joe and the children. I wasn’t too fond of the gooseberry taste but am glad I got to try it. Today is laundry day. It looks like we will have to hang it in the basement. Looks like rain. We had a storm go through Sunday afternoon while we were at Jacob and Emma’s house after church services. The tornado sirens in the nearby town went off. On Monday, this area was without electricity so the public school was closed for the day. The children were excited to have a day off. Everything looked dark outside Monday morning with all the neighbor’s yard lights out. How thankful we are when a bad storm passes through and not much damage. Other areas were not quite so fortunate. May God be with them. His blessings to all and everyone have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Day. This is a great soup for a cold winter’s day after
Overall, holiday shopping can be stressful — from choosing the right gifts, sticking to a budget, avoiding the last minute-scramble and more. The December 2013 issue of ShopSmart magazine, from Consumer Reports, is stuffed with holiday advice that can help shoppers select the perfect gift, wrap it like a pro, save on holiday purchases and more. “Our goal is to bring more joy to the holiday gift-buying season by helping shoppers make smart choices,” said Lisa Lee Freeman, editorin-chief of ShopSmart. “We wanted this issue to be a one-stop shop to help them fine-tune their holiday shopping and entertaining game plans.” Here are some tips on how to shop smarter — not harder: — Get last-minute gift help. Last-minute shoppers have two things going for them — deep discounts from retailers hoping to clear out their inventory and new ways to make gifting easy and even automatic. Feeling stumped about what to buy for the people left on your list? ShopSmart suggests trying a gift-finder tool for inspiration, such as the one at Gifts.com (gifts.com/finder). — Avoid shipping fees. More stores are giving shoppers the option of ordering items online and picking their purchase up at a local store — eliminating shipping charges. Best Buy, Finish Line and Target are among the retailers offering this perk. — Cash in coins for gift
cards. Coinstar kiosks won’t charge a fee when users opt for a gift card instead of cash at a bunch of participating retailers. New merchants include Applebee’s, GameStop, Home Depot and Southwest Airlines.
Gift card gotchas A gift card seems like the perfect option as a last-minute gift or for someone who’s hard to shop for, but some still have huge drawbacks; here are some things to keep in mind: — Purchase fees. Retailer gift cards usually do not charge purchase fees, but shoppers may be charged around $3 to $5 for bank-issued cards that feature logos such as MasterCard or Visa. — Evaporating value. An inactivity fee can’t be charged unless a card hasn’t been used for 12 months. But the fees can kick in as long as they don’t exceed one per month. — Lost card headaches. Gift card holders may be out of luck if they lose them. Some issuers will replace a lost card for a fee. Target and Wal-Mart will offer a free replacement with the receipt.
DIY fancy gift wrap ShopSmart shares some budget-friendly tricks for keeping wrapping costs down from paper artist Mollie Green, author of Sweet Paper Crafts (Chronicle Books, 2013): — Load up on paper. Plain metallic and solid-colored papers are sold for a reasonable price at craft
stores — about 20 cents to $1 a foot, which can save at least $1 a foot over high-end papers. — Skip wallet-busting ribbons and bows. Shoppers can buy a giant roll of red and white baker’s twine for as little as $5. Or check out the sale bins at craft stores for yarn, rickrack, ball fringe and other alternatives. — Save on gift toppers. Look for inexpensive knickknacks to tie on gifts at the dollar store, such as small, shiny ornaments, toy Santas and candy canes.
Set a game plan for holiday savings ShopSmart’s eight-step game plan will help holiday shoppers stick to their budgets and avoid some of the worst holiday shopping headaches. Sample steps include: — Make a list. List each person, gift and budget. Promise to avoid impulse purchases. Consider apps to create shopping lists, such as Smart Shopping List a la Carte (Apple), so the list is always handy. — Scope out sales before shopping. Subscribe to email newsletters from favorite retailers. Use one email address to corral all alerts. FatWallet.com does an excellent job of putting sale notices all in one spot. — Check out prices online. ShopSmart price studies have found that when it comes to top-rated items such as cameras and TVs, prices actually dipped to their lowest point after Cyber Monday.

Coffee improves some health outcomes AP
Holiday trimmings greet shoppers around the main entry of a Target on Nov. 23 in New York. Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains like Wal-Mart and Kohl’s don’t expect Americans to have much holiday shopping cheer unless they see bold, red signs that offer huge discounts.
Americans not willing to spend without deals NEW YORK (AP) — This holiday season, Americans may not spend their green unless they see more red. Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains like Wal-Mart and Kohl’s don’t expect Americans to have much holiday shopping cheer unless they see bold, red signs that offer huge discounts. As a result, shoppers are seeing big sales events earlier and more often than in previous holiday seasons. Retailers are trying to lure shoppers like Marissa Anwar, who has been doing more bargain hunting compared with last year. The operations consultant, who lives in Toronto and New York City, said the economy “hasn’t been great” and she’s lost clients. As a result, she cut her shopping budget to $2,800 from last year’s $4,000. “I was a former ‘spend-aholic,”’said Anwar, 29. “Now, I want to make sure I have the money before I spend it.” It’s a problem that retailers know all too well. Since the recession began in late 2007, stores have had to offer financially-strapped Americans ever bigger price cuts just to get them into stores. But those discounts eat away at profits. So far, Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl’s are among more than two dozen major chains that lowered their profit outlooks for either the quarter or the year. A big reason is the expectation that they’ll have to offer huge discounts in order to get shoppers to spend. There are already signs that retailers are aggressively discounting. Wal-Mart, for instance, on Friday started matching or beating the prices that certain competitors like Best Buy are advertising. Best Buy also plans to match rivals’ prices, even after customers have purchased items. And Target, better known for its whimsical advertising, is touting its prices in holiday TV ads for the first time in at least a decade. The tempered expectations, earlier discounting and lowered profit outlooks from retailers come even though there are indications that the economy is recovering. The job market is making strides. The housing market is starting to come back. And the stock market keeps hitting new highs. All that would ordinarily lead Americans to spend more. But so far, those improvements haven’t been enough to shore up consumer confidence. In fact, Americans’ confidence in the economy is at its lowest level since April. “Stores know that they are well into a fight,” said Ken Perkins, president of the research firm RetailMetrics. “The vast majority of consumers are distressed.” Not that there aren’t
glimmers of hope that Americans will spend again. Retail sales were up 0.4 percent in October, after being flat the previous month, according to the Commerce Department. Americans spent on big ticket item such as cars and furniture, but that may have left them with less room for more discretionary times like clothing this holiday season. Overall, The National Retail Federation expects retail sales to be up 3.9 percent to $602.1 billion during the last two months of the year. That’s higher than last year’s 3.5 percent growth, but below the 6 percent pace seen before the recession. Retailers say economic worries continue to weigh on shoppers heading into the holiday shopping season. “We continue to see anxiety regarding the economy and the ability to stay within household budgets, particularly among lower and middle-income consumers,” said Kathee Tesija, executive vice president of merchandising for Target, which trimmed its annual profit outlook on Thursday. In particular, some Americans still are getting used to smaller paychecks because of a 2 percentage point increase in the Social Security payroll tax that started on Jan. 1. That means that take-home pay for a household earning $50,000 a year has been cut by $1,000. That was a concern Wal-Mart noted on Nov. 14 when it lowered its annual profit guidance for the second time in three months. “It’s going to be as competitive of a market as we’ve ever seen,” said Charles Holley, Wal-Mart’s chief financial officer, adding that among the issues that the discounter faces are “the economic conditions that the customer is under.” Stores also say customers don’t want to spend because they’re uncertain about their health care costs next year due to the U.S. health care overhaul. Additionally, stagnant wages aren’t keeping up with daily living costs. Not to mention, some people are still out of work. Leslie Lynch, 52, said she won’t be buying any holiday gifts because she was laid off from her job in marketing at an insurance company in August 2012 and hasn’t been able to find a job since. Lynch, who lives with her wife who works in quality control at a machine shop, said she is behind in mortgage payments and is afraid she will lose her house. “We will probably have dinner and that’s about it,” said Lynch, who lives in Glastonbury, Conn. “Hopefully, we will have Christmas next summer.”
Coffee is one of the most frequently consumed beverages on earth, yet there remain many questions regarding its effects on health. A recent study made headlines for finding a positive association between heavy coffee consumption and an increased risk for death among men, but the research had some significant limitations. So I thought I would revisit the subject here. Many adults consider coffee drinking a guilty pleasure. According to trade association reports, 83 percent of U.S. adults now drink coffee, a five percent increase since 2012 and part of an upward trend over the past two decades. The majority of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis, and the average number of cups per day among daily drinkers is 3.1. The study I mentioned above recruited adults between the ages of 20 and 87 and followed them for over 30 years, ending in 2002. People with a history of cardiovascular disease, cancer or abnormal exercise stress testing were excluded from this analysis. Participants completed health questionnaires that included questions regarding coffee consumption. They also had baseline examinations, labs and an exercise stress test. Then, they waited to see who died. The main study outcome was the relationship between coffee consumption and

• death rate. After adjusting for demographics, chronic disease, and other health habit information, they did a lot of analyzing that initially suggested heavy coffee consumption related to a higher risk for heart-related death. But subsequent DR. TERRY analysis showed GAFF this association to be non-significant. Therefore, it did not prove that coffee was killing us. In fact, recent high-quality research suggests that coffee improves some health outcomes. Although coffee can raise blood pressure acutely, the consensus appears to be that it does not have much of a role in promoting high blood pressure (hypertension). One review of several studies indicated that mild coffee

consumption of one to three cups per day was associated with a higher risk for hypertension compared with no coffee consumption. But a more recent review found that coffee consumption raised blood pressure by less than one point, and coffee did not promote hypertension. Coffee also has mixed effects on other important cardiovascular risk factors. Analysis of 12 studies found that coffee increased serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides. In contrast, analysis of 18 studies found that each additional cup of coffee consumed daily was associated with a seven percent reduction in the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. I admit that I could go on and on about coffee studies. This is partially because I am a coffee drinker with a family history of diabetes, but very little heart disease, and want to know if I should cut back or stop. But the results of the studies really seem to provide more questions than

answers when it comes to the major health effects of coffee consumption. Overall, there seems to be good evidence that coffee is not bad for your health and does not promote early death, except maybe in men who drink an average of at least four cups of coffee per day. In fact, the evidence appears strongest for a reduction in the risk for heart-related death among women who drink coffee. Coffee consumption also appears to reduce the risk for diabetes. As usual, moderation is the key to a long and healthy life. Individuals who are heavy coffee drinkers should consider reining in their rampant coffee habit. However, people may also overestimate the risks of drinking coffee. If you choose to cut back on moderate consumption of coffee, you are likely not postponing your death and are not reducing your risk for diabetes as much as you could. My advice to coffee drinkers is stick with three or less cups of Joe per day and concentrate on addressing other lifestyle and diet issues besides coffee drinking in your quest for a longer, happier life.

Exhibit looks at music of historic Route 66 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Getting your kicks on Route 66 been a favorite pastime of travelers near and far for decades. Now, the iconic song by Bobby Troup is part of an exhibit at Oklahoma’s Route 66 Museum in Clinton focusing on the music and artists who help bring the famed highway to life. “Music for the Mother Road: Route 66” features displays and interactive pieces about the history of radio and the popular songs people listened to over the decades as they traversed Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif. “Music is so much a part of the history of Route 66,” said Pat Smith, director of the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, about 85 miles west of Oklahoma City. “It seems very
appropriate to represent all the music by the decades.” The museum features a new exhibit every quarter, and for the final months of 2013, museum staff decided to feature the tunes of a hodgepodge of singers and musicians. Artists and songs featured include Johnny Cash’s “I’ve Been Everywhere,” Woody Guthrie’s “Will Rogers Highway” and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Road Trippin’.” As visitors enter the exhibit room, not only will they see the exhibit but they’ll hear it. Music playing throughout the room will take visitors back decades, while artifacts and interactive pieces will teach them about some of the artists who helped make Route 66 famous.
Photographers find new life in ND ghost towns FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Two Fargo radio personalities who photographed the remains of western North Dakota’s pioneer towns for a coffee table book discovered a surprise when they returned for volume 2. Some of the “ghost” towns had come back to life, thanks largely to the oil boom. One of the images that Troy Larson and Terry Hinnenkamp had hoped to capture for the second volume of “Ghosts of North Dakota” was an abandoned church in Fortuna, near the borders of Montana and Saskatchewan. When they arrived, they found a recreational vehicle and semi-trailer parked in front of the building, ruling out a photo shoot. And then there’s nearby Appam, which was featured in the first edition. The pair was surprised to find about 30 recreational vehicles and trailers set up behind a shelter belt that once guarded the town. “We were shocked to see that some of the towns we photographed in 2005 or 2006 had people living
there now,” Larson said. “We always said it would be a happy day when we could say one of these towns turned the corner and starting coming back. We didn’t expect it to happen like this.” Larson knows that the rebirth is temporary and might be the makings of future ghost town photos. “If we’re still above the ground, because Lord knows how long the boom will last out there, we fully intend to go back out there and photograph what is left,” Larson said. “It would be a very different type of ghost town. What is a man camp going to look like when nobody is left? Will there even be a man camp?” The second edition is 88 pages and features towns such as Bantry, Barton and Bentley, along with Raleigh, Roseville and Roth. Larson’s favorite photographs are one he took of a house in Sims, which is featured on the cover, and one by Hinnenkamp of a one-room schoolhouse in Clear Lake Township that is surrounded by rings of crops on a foggy morning.

This image released by Disney shows Kristoff, voiced by Jonathan Groff, left, and Anna, voiced by Kristen
Bell, in a scene from the animated feature “Frozen.”

The Kristoff is quirky movie hearkens back and adorable, and to the old Disney his friendship with princess movies, his goofy reindeer which makes it provides a lot of feel extra cozy for the comic relief in fans, but it also has the movie. Also a modern edge, JENNY on the silly end featuring princesses the spectrum with a little more KOBIELA- of is a snowman personality than the Olaf (Josh old damsels I grew MONDOR named Gad) who Elsa up watching. has brought to “Frozen” follows life. The posters Anna (voiced by and some of the Kristen Bell), the commercials for “Frozen” princess of a small kingdom made me nervous that Olaf called Arendelle. On the would be too obnoxiously coronation day of her sister, silly, but he actually hit the Elsa (Idina Menzel), Anna discovers why Elsa has been perfect balance between the cold to her for years - Elsa is wackiness that children will enjoy and being a real magical and can turn things to ice and snow, but she can’t control her magic. When the people of Arendelle find out, however, they call Elsa a monster, and Elsa disappears into the mountains, leaving the kingdom in a deep freeze. Anna, however, wants to help her sister, and so she enlists the help of the burly Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his reindeer, Sven. It’s a sweet, exciting story, but what really gives “Frozen” some bite are the characters — specifically Elsa and Anna. The sisters are distant and at odds for most of the movie, but it’s clear throughout the entire film that they really love each other. It probably helped that I was sitting next to my own sister when I was watching the movie, but I was really touched by the depth of their bond and the way they watched out for each other. It was also incredibly refreshing to see some royal women who could stand on their own two feet. Elsa is an incredibly strong, magical woman, and although she functions somewhat as the villain for a lot of the movie, she’s a much more nuanced character than the old Disney villains. As much as I adore old-school bad girls like Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty” or Ursula the Sea Witch from “The Little Mermaid,” it’s refreshing to see a powerful woman who isn’t irredeemably corrupted by power. She’s confused and terrified, and she does some bad things, but it isn’t because of jealousy or because she’s just plain old evil, like the villains of old. Anna is also an interesting and strong character. Yes, she’s silly sometimes, and, yes, she does need the help of Kristoff sometimes, but she’s also brave, smart and cares deeply for her sister. There’s even a some sly commentary on the Disney princess tendency to fall in love immediately with a cute guy she barely knows. A friend of mine was just complaining about that

enough character so that he doesn’t annoy the adults in the audience. “Frozen” is also a very beautiful movie. The characters’ designs are fairly reminiscent of those in “Tangled,” but the scenery is stunning. Arendelle was clearly influenced by Scandinavian countries, specifically Norway, and the buildings are all decorated beautiful, colorful rosemaling designs. The warmth of those buildings stands in contrast to the stunning ice castle that Elsa creates for herself. The winter scenes are the most beautiful in the movie, and they’re so realistic that I shivered several times while watching the movie. You can almost feel the icy cold coming off the screen. “Frozen” is never going to be a timeless classic
like “The Lion King” or “Beauty and the Beast,” but it’s solidly in the second tier of Disney movies — a little less stunning and a little more silly than the best the studio has to offer, but ultimately still a pretty darn great movie. “Frozen” is a warm little treat that children and adults alike will enjoy.

London offers free sights LONDON (AP) — There’s no getting around it: The basics of life are pricey in London. Hotel rooms, taxis, restaurant meals and subway fares are among the most expensive in the world. The good news is that Britain’s teeming capital is also a city of cultural riches, historic buildings and gorgeous parks, many of which can be experienced for free. It’s also a magnificent city in which to wander — and really it doesn’t rain as much as people think. A walk through almost any area of central London will uncover eclectic architecture, intriguing monuments and surprising pockets of greenery.
Myriad museums Many visitors are surprised to learn that admission to London’s major museums and art galleries is free. There is often a charge for special exhibitions, but the permanent collections of Tate Modern, the National Gallery and many other institutions can be visited for nothing. And London has museums for all tastes and interests. No visitor should miss the 260-yearold British Museum, with its collection covering millennia of human culture, from Egyptian mummies to Greek friezes to drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. Among the smaller, quirkier attractions are the Hunterian Museum, whose skeletons and specimens trace the history of surgery and anatomical study. Or drop by the Bank of England Museum to learn how inflation is calculated, handle a gold bar and look at a collection of bankerbashing cartoons stretching back several centuries.

sheer scale of London is Parliament Hill, on north London’s Hampstead Heath (confusingly, it’s nowhere near the Houses of Parliament). Tramp up the gentle path to the summit for a panoramic view that takes in the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the giant Ferris wheel known as London Eye, the financial district’s modern skyscrapers and the latest addition to an ever-changing city — the 72-story glass high-rise known as the Shard. Then spend some time wandering the Heath, 790 acres (320 hectares) of woods, grasslands and ponds that feels very far from the hubbub of the city. The neighborhoods on either side, Hampstead and Highgate, are both affluent, village-y enclaves full of highly desirable old houses and some good pubs. For a drink, try Hampstead’s cozy Holly Bush or the 400-year-old Spaniards Inn — once the haunt of highwaymen, now treasured for its large beer garden.

a thrifty art-lover’s dream. Both regularly hold public exhibitions ahead of sales at their central London premises. The walls of the calm, airy rooms will be packed with art; there might be Rembrandts or Picassos, Francis Bacons or Damien Hirsts, all being given the once-over by prospective purchasers. Watching the buyers can be as much fun as looking at the art.
East end If you want to see why London is known as the home of cuttingedge fashion, head to the city’s trendy East End on a Sunday morning. Start at Columbia Road Flower Market. It’s both a traditional street market, where Cockney vendors sell all sorts of plants and blooms, and a magnet for art students, hipsters and fashionistas. They turn the narrow street into a trend-spotters’ paradise as they browse in the boutiques selling quirky crafts, clothes and furniture. A short walk away, the area around Shoreditch High Street and Brick Lane holds more independent clothing stores, cafes and a large Sunday crafts-andclothes market.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s ski industry is getting an early-season intravenous shot. Ski-pass sales and lodging reservations are up as resorts reap the benefit of an improving economy. Even the weather is cooperating, with November building up snow equity on the slopes. Utah boosters hope the Sochi Olympics whip up enthusiasm for skiing in the state that held the 2002 Winter Games. Many of the 14 Utah resorts are stepping up offerings for season-pass holders, daily visitors and young learners. They’re holding prices, offering special deals and notably, more multi-resort privileges. For vacationers who can’t plan early-season purchases, Utah’s Eagle Point ski area will offer $25 lift tickets to anyone on Thursdays and Sundays when it opens Dec. 19. It’s shaping up as a season of hope for Utah skiing after a pair of unimpressive snow years. By mid-November, Park City had booked 28 percent of the season for lodging at a pace a fifth faster than the year before, industry officials say. The early bookings come as Park City Mountain Resorts prepares to celebrate its storied 50-year history with a season-long series of live music, fireworks and giveaways. “The early-season snowfall helped calm fears,” said Nathan Rafferty, president of the trade group Ski Utah. After a pair of lackluster winters, Utah was itching for a comeback and appears to be getting it, he said. “We haven’t seen this kind of sustained strength in the mountain lodging industry since pre-2008,” said Ralf Garrison, director of Denver-based analysts DestiMetrics. Resorts around Salt Lake City have modernized rapidly since the 2002 Olympics, and skiers can expect more improvements on the slope this winter. Fast lifts can now be found at most of the resorts, and Brighton Resort is opening a girls-only snowboard terrain park. Snowbird replaced its pokey two-seat Gad 2 with a high-speed quad, cutting ride time in half on a popular side of the mountain. Brian Head in southern Utah poured $3.5 million into base lodges and magic-carpet surface lifts. Other Utah resorts invested in snow-making, grooming fleets and dining options. Another convenience is unfolding off the slopes. Salt Lake City’s airport is now served by light-rail transit, which can connect vacationing skiers — with bus transfers — to Alta and Snowbird or Brighton and Solitude in the canyons east of Salt Lake City. Eventually, Utah wants to

• run light-rail directly to the four resorts. Mass transit is shaping up as an alternative to renting a car. A wild card for the ski industry — the legalization of marijuana in neighboring Colorado — has Utah resorts feeling queasy. Will it siphon off frat boy skiers to Colorado and send more families to Utah? There’s no sign either is happening, say Colorado and Utah resort officials who are trying to make it a non-issue, even as Rafferty concedes, “It is something everyone wants to talk about.” Rich Gomez, for one, said the pot dilemma “means nothing” for his skiing decisions. A 59-yearold businessman from Trabuco Canyon, Calif., he prefers Utah’s uncrowded slopes, deep powder and lift and lodging rates that are a bargain by Colorado or California standards. “Look at the snow here — it’s better,” said Gomez, who was skiing with his grandchildren at Brighton Resort last week on a $49 lift ticket. “Utah is different. It’s more laid-back. Colorado is nice, but it’s tougher to get to and more expensive.” Gomez likes that he can choose among eight resorts within an hour’s drive of the Salt Lake airport. His son-in-law, Allen Basso of San Clemente, Calif.,
summed up a day at Brighton by declaring he found “not one line” at the bottom of a ski lift. Others at Brighton doubted that dope-smoking skiers would avoid Utah to descend on Colorado. “We can do it on the sly here, but we’re not admitting anything,” joked Matt Burk, a 49-year-old medical respiratory therapist from Salt Lake City. Anything that keeps Utah skiing low-profile is good, said Burke and his ski buddy, Torg Hickman, a 46-year-old nursing assistant. Both plan to take February off for skiing, burning a year’s vacation time. “This is the best place in the world,” crowed Hickman, who has been skiing in Utah for 37 years. Utah skiers can largely thank a Colorado company for putting downward pressure on ticket and pass rates. Vail Resorts Inc. took over Canyons Resort at Park City and brought a popular multi-resort pass to Utah. For around $700 — a bargain by industry standards — Vail’s EPIC pass gives skiers the run of six Colorado resorts, one in Utah, and three around Lake Tahoe, plus some free skiing at select European resorts. Vail sold around 350,000 EPIC passes before sales closed Sunday (Nov. 24), up from 300,000 last winter.

Q. The large post on my stairway is loose and makes the whole hand railing loose. I can’t find any screws to tighten to correct this problem. How do I tighten my stairway up? Thomas of Auburn A. Stairways are an intricate combination of newel (the large post), banister (handrail) and balusters (spindles). It depends on when your house was built and how fancy it is as to whether you have goose necks, volutes or turnouts. Typically in older houses stairways were very involved SQUARE and required a CORNERS superior wood craftsman. Jeff Deahl In my option stairways are the most difficult type of finish carpentry and are done right by a small percentage of carpenters. During installation even a hole drilled a 1/16” too big for a screw holding a newel post over time will become loose. Handrail systems have got to be strong and durable but also decorative and if the newel post is improperly installed can make the whole stairway shaky. The newel post should be notched into the floor system and hidden lag bolted to the rough framing of the floor and stair structure. To access these points would require removing stair treads and possibly finish flooring. You can sometimes access the post from the underside of your floor system to additionally secure the post. Most commonly, to fix the loose post you would drill a hole and install longer lag bolts from the surface of the post into the structure of the stairs. Once the post is secure now cut a wood dowel rod (preferably the same wood species of your existing stairs) and fill in the hole. Finish the wood to match your stained or painted stairway.

Glass comes in a rainbow of collectible colors Soda lime glass is basically colorless. Metals and oxides can be added to glass to change its color during the glass blowing, molding or machine production process. The following additives make the distinctive colors: Red glass: selenium Ruby/cranberry glass: copper or gold, depending on the concentration Amber glass: sulfur, carbon, iron salts Yellow green or vaseline glass: uranium Yellow glass: cadmium sulfide Yellow-brown glass: titanium Dark green glass: iron oxide and chromium Green blue glass: iron oxide Turquoise glass: copper oxide Blue glass: cobalt with potash Purple or amethyst glass: manganese Violet glass: nickel Black glass: nickel depending on the concentration White glass: fluorspar or zinc oxide Milk glass: tin oxide, arsenic, antimony Why are wine bottles green? Why are beer bottles brown? Why are medicine bottles blue?
The answers to these questions speak volumes about American culture and design. For instance, bottles for wine and beer were typically dark in color such as green or brown in order to protect the wine or beer from the light that could change its taste. Dark colored wine bottles also hide the unsightly sediment that accumulates at the bottom of a wine bottle. Often used for ART & powder jars and ANTIQUES bedroom vanity piece, purple or amethyst glass has a long Dr. Lori history. Purple or amethyst glass was first used in ancient Egypt and is a popular collectible today. In many 19th century and early 20th century general stores and early pharmacy or apothecary shops, blue bottles lined the shelves. Blue bottle glass was inexpensive to make, which was of interest to those who were trying

to attract customers to new potions, tonics and medicinal products. The cobalt blue bottles were attractive and became connected with signs of good health. Ruby glass is associated with its additive, gold, making the collecting of ruby glass a high society status symbol. Ruby glass is often featured in objects such as decanter sets, goblets and vases. Milk glass was a Venetian invention, the site of a longstanding history of glassblowing and glass works. Milk glass was commonly used at weddings for items such as bride’s baskets to hold money for the newlyweds since milk glass resembled porcelain.

BANI Standard of the Week • Too often, undefined expectations create problems between builders and customers before, during and after their building and remodeling projects. Addressing some of the most prevalent issues, a set of Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of their projects against an industry-approved set of standards. These standards help eliminate problems before the project even begins. The entire weight of a house is supported by the foundation. The foundation consists of the footing, the foundation walls, and the foundation slab. Foundation wall footings must be designed and placed
1. Bowed - a condition where a wall is curved in a concave or convex way either vertically or horizontally 2. Crazing - hairline cracks that form a web over the surface area of concrete
4. Efflorescence - a salt deposit on the surface that forms when the water solution in the concrete evaporates
5. Expansion and Contraction Joints (also known as control joints) - lines that are cut or formed between slabs of concrete in a straight and continuous pattern with the intention of creating a location for the concrete to expand, contract, and crack in such a manner that cracks do not form across a slab 6. Flow Lines - a visible line on a concrete wall or column that shows where concrete poured during one placement has flowed horizontally before the next placement has been poured 7. Honeycombs - voids left in concrete where cement and sand particles have not filled out the spaces
between coarse aggregate gravel
which have been forced from the surface
8. Out of Level - a condition where a flat plane (such as a basement floor or the edge of a wall) has points that are lower or higher than the rest of the flat plane
12. Scaling - the flaking or peeling of the surface layer of concrete
9. Out of Plumb - a condition where the angle created when a wall meets the floor does not equal 90 degrees 10. Out of Square - a condition where the angle created when two perpendicular walls meet does not equal 90 degrees 11. Pop Outs - depressions formed in the surface of concrete as the result of small pieces of aggregate
E
13. Spalling - the crumbling of the surface of concrete, where small disc-shaped chunks break away, usually resulting from expansion from within the larger mass of concrete For more information about the Quality Assurance Builder Standards, contact the Builders Association of Northeast Indiana at 877-665-8921 for a list of builders who belong to the association and agree to adhere to the Quality Assurance Builder Standards.

to minimize settling or cracks in foundation walls. Foundation walls are usually made of poured concrete or masonry block. If there is a basement, the foundation walls serve as the basement walls.

How to pick the right mulch
As a general rule, leave the leaves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Compost or mulch? People often confuse the two, although each fulfills a different function in gardening. Which one you want depends on your needs. “Compost is used to feed crops; mulch is used to suppress weeds,” said Daniel McGrath, a horticulturist with Oregon State University Extension. “Compost is decomposed organic matter that is generally higher in nutrients and relatively low in carbon compared to mulch. Mulch is raw, un-decomposed organic matter.” Unlike compost, mulch is generally not mixed into the soil, he noted, but is applied 2 to 4 inches deep on top of the soil around a tree or shrub. Mulch has fewer nutrients and is not meant to replace fertilizer, which should be added as a supplement. Mulching does, however, maintain soil moisture, prevent most weed seeds from germinating and keep soil temperatures constant around plants, said Martha Smith, an extension horticulturist with the University of Illinois. Which kind of mulch you choose depends on what you’re growing and where. Some mulch, especially crushed rock and commercially made, color-enhanced mixtures, can beautify pathways, driveways and play areas. Good mulch is easy to apply and remove; is free of noxious weeds, insects and disease; and adds organic materials to the soil as it breaks down. “There are different byproducts used across the U.S. based on local supply,” Smith said. That includes pine needles in the South, hazelnut shells in the Northwest and buckwheat hulls in the Southeast. Some different mulch materials from which to choose: SHREDDED BARK, WOOD CHIPS AND SHAVINGS. Easy to spread and long-lasting, but can rob the soil of nitrogen and make landscape plants turn yellow. Look for

This photo shows arborist chips, a back to nature mulch in Langley, Wash. Like many other organic materials, the chips help maintain soil moisture, prevent weeds from sprouting and keeps soil temperatures relatively constant around plants. They can rob soil of nitrogen, however, and fertilizer should be added as a supplement.
“arborist chips” or ground-up tree branches that can make a good mulch and often are available for the asking from tree trimmers. Gravel and stones. Stone doesn’t have to be replaced like organic mulches, but it is expensive and will work into the ground. Stone is great for problem areas, though, like deep shade or in channels cut for stormwater runoff. BLACK PLASTIC AND STRAW. Both are commonly used in vegetable gardens and orchards. Plastics, however, prevent water from
entering the soil, while straw contains grain seeds that can germinate. LEAVES. Shredded leaves provide good insulation and weed control, although they won’t allow much water to penetrate. Work them into the soil after they decompose. • Others include newspapers (unattractive unless shredded), peat moss (inexpensive but acidic), shredded rubber (doesn’t decompose but may smell) and landscape cloth (allows water to infiltrate but must be tacked down).
SOME MATERIALS TO AVOID: • Grass clippings, especially any containing herbicides. Clippings are better left on lawns where they break down quickly and return some nutrients to the soil. • Treated wood chips, charcoal and ash — especially barbeque briquettes and coal ash — may include compounds and chemicals harmful to pets and plants. • Sawdust packs tightly and is unsightly.
If you had driven past my house in recent days, you might have thought you were watching a movie in reverse. There I was, opening trash bags, dumping out leaves and spreading them over the ground. These were bags left curbside for me by neighbors near and far. It does seem crazy, doesn’t it, gathering up all these bags and dumping out all those leaves? But dried, dead leaves contain stored energy, the sun’s energy. Put them on or in the soil, as I have been doing, and they release their energy to support the growth and activity of fungi, earthworms and other soil organisms. Mostly, these are friendly creatures, and nurturing them allows them to thwart unfriendly organisms, such as those causing some plant diseases. Besides disease prevention, when leaves are gobbled up by soil organisms, the nutrients in them are being released. Think of all those minerals taken in by a tree’s wide, spreading and deep roots. Just falling to the ground all around you, leaves are, pound for pound, about as rich in minerals as is manure.
Not for everywhere Of course, spreading leaves over the ground or just leaving them there in the first place is not an option for every site. I have spread leaves over a hayfield in which I’ve planted chestnut trees. In coming years, these trees will shade out the grass; I’m just helping the ground become the leaf-blanketed forest floor that it will eventually turn into. Beneath a row of dwarf apple trees, a leafy mulch keeps weeds from growing and stealing nutrients and
water from my small trees. And no need to rake up all the leaves from even a manicured lawn: A mulching mower can grind them up to let enough grass peek through to thrive. If leaves form such a thick blanket that raking is necessary, don’t bag them until you’ve spread all you can under your shrubs and trees, and over your flower beds. Save yourself effort and do something for the plants: At the very least, leave leaves where they drop. Still drowning in leaves? Hold off a bit longer before you pack them into trash bags. Consider packing the leaves into a dense pile for composting. Leaves make excellent, weed-free compost if you let them sit long enough. In a rush? Then mix in some manure, sprinklings of soybean meal or other materials rich in nitrogen. By next year at this time, most of the leaves you spread around or piled up this year will have either settled or evanesced into thin air, becoming mostly carbon dioxide and water. A significant but small portion will endure in the soil, having been transformed to humus. This humus provides long-term benefit to the soil, aerating sticky clays and helping sands sponge up and hold onto water for plant use. Roses, rhododendrons, lawns — almost all plants, in fact — appreciate any leaves left or applied around their “feet.” Of course, if everyone follows my advice, I’ll no longer be importing neighbors’ leaves.
