Shaffer in court in probation case today GOOD MORNING Winter storm may snarl travel plans for Thanksgiving DALLAS (AP) — A winter storm system blamed for at least 10 fatal accidents in the West and Texas threatens to dampen the Thanksgiving holiday for millions of Americans traveling this week. Nearly 300 American Airlines and American Eagle ﬂights were canceled in and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Monday due to the weather, spokeswoman Laura Masvidal said, mirroring disruptions at the air hub a day earlier. Some of the country’s busiest airports — New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Boston and Charlotte, N.C. — could see big delays. Icy roads led to hundreds of accidents and at least 10 deaths, half of them in Texas. On Monday, the storm brought a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, southern Kansas and Texas. But as the storm continues east, there are fears of heavy rain along the busy Interstate 95 corridor and sleet, freezing rain and snow away from the coast and at higher elevations. Tom Kines, a meteorologist with AccuWeather, said it will be “primarily a rain event” for the East Coast, with up to three inches of rain dousing travelers. “The further inland you get — especially as you get into that higher terrain — you are going to deal with frozen precipitation,” Kines said. Snow could fall in western Pennsylvania and the interior of New England. Up to 9 inches could blanket northern parts of West Virginia, where the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning from Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon. Jeff Smidt is traveling Wednesday from his home in Toronto to visit his family in Andover, Mass., just outside Boston. “My understanding is that I’m traveling at like the worst time ever,” he said.

LAGRANGE — Christy Shaffer, a Topeka woman who gained national attention when she was released from prison after serving only 77 days for her role in the death of a toddler, is expected to appear in a LaGrange County courtroom this morning, this time accused of violating the terms of her probation. Shaffer, 35, was arrested Nov. 12 and charged with possession of methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance, both class D felonies. The arrest came after she was implicated in the Nov. 1 arrest of two Topeka

Only a short time earlier, the Department of Child Services had placed the child with Shaffer. Following Guernsey’s death, an autopsy determined her death was the result of blunt-force trauma. In 2009, a LaGrange County grand jury charged Shaffer with two counts of neglect of a dependent. In 2011, Shaffer avoided a trial by pleading guilty to a single charge of neglect of

Cold, hard reality Lakeland students feel chill of life as a homeless person BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — No one thought it would turn out to be the coldest night of the season when members of Lakeland High School’s DECA club picked Saturday night to sleep outside in cardboard boxes to try to understand what it’s like to be homeless. “We thought it would be 40, 45 degrees,” Robert Albaugh, the club’s sponsor and a Lakeland economics and business teacher, said Saturday night as he and two students huddled close to a fire pit in front of the LaGrange First Church of God. “As luck would have it, it’s the coldest day of the year so far.” Like the weather or not, six members of the club showed up Saturday afternoon dressed for the occasion. Some wore insulated coats and heavy gloves, others sported thick, fur-lined hats. They set about constructing a simple shelter out of plastic and a couple of pieces of cardboard. “This is really humbling,” Lakeland junior Nathan Stroup said later as he sat near the fire Saturday night. Stroup, deep inside an insulated camouflage coat and bibs, said even he wasn’t immune to the Saturday’s frigid cold. “It’s very cold, but very humbling to see what the homeless population has to go through,” Stroup said. “It makes me very grateful for what I have.”

a dependent. LaGrange County Circuit Judge J. Scott VanDerbeck then sentenced Shaffer to 10 years in prison. However, then months later, VanDerbeck stunned many involved with the case when he modiﬁed Shaffer’s sentence to time served, 77 days, and ordered that she be placed on six months of home detention and serve three years on probation. Several organizations formed since then have protested Shaffer’s sentence, and those groups often attack the prosecutor for not charging Shaffer with murder.

Obama rallies support

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stung by plunging approval numbers at a low point in his presidency, President Barack Obama is urging donors to buck up and making a thread-the-needle appeal for bipartisanship with Republicans even as he calls for replacing the House GOP majority and holding his Democratic edge in the Senate. Obama is seeking to gain back his political standing in the aftermath of his administration’s botched launch of health care enrollment by defining himself as a pragmatic victim of tea party conservatives while casting his policies on the economy and immigration as popular remedies that could win bipartisan support. “Right now in this country there is at least one faction of one party that has decided they are more PATRICK REDMOND interested in stopping progress than advancing it, and aren’t interested Lakeland High School junior Nathan Stroup wears an insulated in compromise or engaging suit and sits near a fire trying to fend off frigid temperatures Saturday night.

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.” The second study had been requested to determine if traffic on C.R. 415N was significantly heavier during the fall, when Orchard Hill Farms does much of its business. Orchard Hill is on C.R. 415N east of C.R. 1000E. Region III-A said it had considered that information in the original study, Fitch said, adding “They said they had taken into account all of the seasonal changes at that time.” The study showed the intersection warrants only a two-way stop for east-west traffic, Fitch said.

Area personal income tops national average FROM STAFF REPORTS

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 also grew faster than the state average in three of four local counties. Only Noble County trailed the state average. 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. Locally in 2012: • DeKalb County’s personal income per capita of $34,533, an increase of 5.0 percent from 2011.

Woman who put newborn in trash bin headed back to jail BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — A former Auburn woman who went to prison for placing her newborn daughter in a trash bin will serve more time behind bars for using marijuana while on community corrections. During a hearing in DeKalb Superior Court I Monday, Alison Lesch, 23, of the 1200 block of East 10th Street, Indianapolis, admitted violating the terms of community corrections by providing a diluted urine sample that tested positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana. She also admitted being delinquent on her community corrections user

fees, owing $2,049 as of Nov. 15. In November 2010, Lesch was sentenced to eight years in prison for neglect of a dependent, a Class C felony, by Judge Kevin Wallace of DeKalb Superior Court I. Lesch admitted giving birth to a baby girl Lesch on Nov. 7, 2009, at her home in Auburn. The next day she put the child in a trash bag and placed her in a trash bin outside her East Nineteenth Street apartment. At her sentencing hearing, Lesch said she thought the baby was dead when she

placed her in the trash bin. Police said the baby girl apparently spent nearly 2 ½ hours in the plastic garbage bag inside the trash bin before being found alive. The baby was placed in foster care. In a letter read in court at Lesch’s 2010 sentencing hearing, the foster mother said Lesch’s child has a serious medical conditions, including fetal alcohol syndrome, as well as cerebral palsy that may have been caused by its time in the trash bin. Lesch began the community corrections portion of her sentence on Jan. 23, 2013 in Marion County, Wallace noted. The judge ordered Lesch to serve

the remaining 62 days of the sentence in the DeKalb County Jail. Lesch said she could not offer an explanation for her actions. “When I got high … I don’t know why I did it,” she said. Lesch said she has two jobs, goes to school and serves as a volunteer. “I just don’t want to lose everything I’ve worked for,” she said. DeKalb County Prosecutor ClaraMary Winebrenner said Lesch received a break on her original sentence and had not followed the rules of community corrections. “She knew what the sanction

was,” Winebrenner added. Wallace said he did not consider Lesch’s entire time on community corrections to be a failure. “The majority of community corrections, apparently you followed the rules and did what you were supposed to do,” Wallace said. “However, ultimately you fell behind in your fees and consumed marijuana and apparently made an attempt to disguise that. I think it is appropriate that the remainder of the sentence be served in the DeKalb County Jail.” With credit for time served with good behavior, Lesch could be released after 31 days.

Vehicle strikes, injures 12-year-old Waterloo girl WATERLOO — A 12-year-old girl was injured when a vehicle struck her in the 200 block of North Center Street around 7 a.m. Monday, the Waterloo Marshal’s Department reported. The girl possibly suffered a fracture of the left humerus (upper arm) and a fractured left femur (thigh bone), according to police. A DeKalb EMS ambulance took her to Parkview Regional Medical Center at Fort Wayne.

Police did not release her name. Police said they responded to the scene and found the girl had been struck by a 2003 Chevy Trail Blazer driven by Kimberly S. Pinkerton of Waterloo. Pinkerton told police she was driving north on Center Street when the girl appeared on the roadway in front of her. Pinkerton was unable to stop in time to avoid striking the girl, police said.

ment Assistant Chief Tyler Terry and two of his colleagues taught fire safety. “We talked about smoke detectors and basic things to do before we get” to an emergency, he said. He reminded students to change the batteries in their smoke detectors twice a year in spring and fall during the time changes. Jo Schrader, LaGrange County American Red Cross Advisory Council operations coordinator, taught students how to help a choking victim. While standing behind the victim, Schrader instructed students, “Find their bellybutton and make your fist and put your hand over the fist. If it’s a bigger person, what would be a better thing? Get a chair.” One boy was working on a choking simulation with a girl as a victim. He grimaced at having to touch her bellybutton for the exercise and laughed. This is the second year the safety day was held at Prairie Heights. All LaGrange County fourthgraders receive the instruction. “My eye-opener last year was kids who didn’t know their addresses,” said Jean McKinley of the LaGrange County American Red Cross Advisory Council. “It’s a group effort to go to all the elementary schools in LaGrange County.” Another popular lesson

involved dogs and safety. Members from Ark Animal Sanctuary brought their rescue dogs to mingle with students. Sue Keenan with the rescue sanctuary brought Buddy, a salt-and-pepper-colored schnoodle, that was getting sleepy from all the student attention. She was accompanied by Patrick Redmond, who brought along his two rescue pugs, Pip and Daphne. The pair talked about dog nutrition and health, how to approach a dog and what to do if one is chased by a dog. Members of Prairie Heights High School’s National Honor Society accompanied groups of fourth-graders to different safety classes. Schrader said she hoped students learned during an emergency “to get a sense to stay calm, and then they can act as a group.” LaGrange County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Deputy Jeff Campos co-coordinated the day with help from Schrader and Carol Malott, Parkview Emergency Medical Services. “It’s about comfortability with ofﬁcers and dispatchers so (students) don’t get scared and are more comfortable,” Campos said. “We’re here to help them 90 percent of the time.”

LAGRANGE — Sixty low-income LaGrange seniors went home Friday afternoon with free, frozen turkeys, thanks to the LaGrange Council on Aging and its Senior Mart program. The council purchased the turkeys from Fort Wayne’s Community Harvest Food Pantry. The council runs the Senior Mart program for people age 60 and over who are residents of LaGrange County and who meet low-income guidelines. Senior Mart members are required to attend one activity or class a year offered by the Council on Aging. The turkeys were purchased using funds donated by the Howe and the Mongo Lions Clubs. Mongo Lions Club members helped the Council on Aging staff hand out turkeys. This is the second year in a row the Council on Aging has been able to assist low-income seniors with food for the holiday. Last year a grant from the LaGrange County Community Foundation helped to purchase holiday turkeys for local seniors. Cheri Perkins, executive director of the LaGrange County Council on Aging, hopes to continue the tradition as long as funding is available to purchase the turkeys. For more information on the program, call 463-4161. The Senior Mart program is funded primarily by donations.

This January ﬁle photo shows Martin Bashir at the EA SimCity Learn. Build. Create. Inauguration After-Party, in Washington. Bashir’s apology for graphic comments about Sarah Palin on MSNBC hasn’t ended questions about whether the remarks deserve punishment from his bosses.

Controversy over Bashir punishment doesn’t go away NEW YORK (AP) — Martin Bashir’s apology for graphic comments about Sarah Palin on MSNBC hasn’t ended questions about whether the remarks deserve punishment from his bosses, giving unwanted attention to a cable network dealing with sinking ratings along with loose-lipped hosts. Palin, in a Fox interview on Sunday, said MSNBC was guilty of “executive hypocrisy” by not publicly disciplining Bashir for his “vile, evil comments.” Four days after Bashir apologized, MSNBC said it was “handling this matter internally” and wouldn’t comment further. “It’s a systemic problem,” said Jeff Cohen, an Ithaca College journalism professor and liberal commentator who was a producer for Phil Donahue’s prime-time MSNBC show a decade ago. “It’s a problem at MSNBC. It’s a problem in cable news. It’s a certain coarseness where everything goes. I guess they can keep sanctioning and suspending people, but there’s something wrong when name-calling is considered OK.” Bashir’s comments about Palin came on the same day MSNBC suspended actor Alec Baldwin from his weekly show for two episodes for his part in an off-the-air episode. Baldwin used an anti-gay slur in a confrontation with a photog-

rapher on a New York City street. Bashir used his weekday afternoon program on Nov. 15 to criticize Palin for her remarks comparing U.S. indebtedness to China to slavery. Bashir cited the diaries of a former plantation overseer who punished slaves by having someone defecate in their mouth or urinate on their face. He suggested the former Alaska governor deserved the same treatment. The somber anchor, a former “Nightline” host, apologized on his next show on Nov. 18. The Baldwin suspension set up an immediate contrast for MSNBC’s critics to latch on to: Why does an epithet used in a heated moment in an off-air confrontation merit a suspension, while a sickening comment made on the air, presumably researched and written in advance, not deserve one? Other MSNBC personalities have been disciplined for remarks that drew unwanted attention. The network ﬁred Don Imus in 2007 for referring to members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.” David Shuster was suspended for two weeks in 2008 for suggesting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign had “pimped out” daughter Chelsea Clinton by having her place phone calls to celebrities and convention delegates.

THE NEWS SUN

Petcoke blackens cities with air full of grit CHICAGO (AP) — The images are startling. Billowing black clouds darken the daytime sky as wind-driven grit pelts homes and cars and forces bewildered residents to take cover. The onslaught, captured in photos and video footage from Detroit and Chicago this year, was caused by the same thing: brisk winds sweeping across huge black piles of petroleum coke, or “petcoke,” a powdery byproduct of oil reﬁning that’s been accumulating along Midwest shipping channels and sparking a new wave of health and environmental concerns. The piles are evidence of a sharp increase in North American oil production — particularly crude extracted from oil sands in Canada — that has been trapped in the Midwest because of limited pipeline capacity to carry it to the Gulf and West coasts, leading to unprecedented amounts of oil reﬁning and petcoke production here. In Midwestern neighborhoods near

reﬁneries, the growing black mountains have brought outcries from residents and new efforts by lawmakers to control or banish the blowing dust. “We could barely open the windows this summer because the black dust was so bad,” said Susanna Gomez, 37, a mother and grandmother who lives on Chicago’s far southeast side, across a set of railroad tracks from a shipping terminal that stockpiles petcoke until it can be loaded on to ships for export. She said she worries about one of her sons, who’s asthmatic, but doesn’t have the money to move. Alan Beemsterboer, whose family owns another nearby site that long has handled slag, asphalt and coal, and now, increasingly, petcoke, said he doesn’t understand the controversy. “This has been an industrial area forever — a coke plant used to be there, a steel mill used to be there,” Beemsterboer said. “Coal and petcoke are just dirty words now. “ Petcoke has been part

of the American industrial landscape since the 1930s, when refineries began installing equipment to “cook” residue left over from making gasoline and diesel into a solid fuel that could be burned in power plants and cement kilns. But the sheer volume of petcoke that appeared suddenly in Detroit and Chicago this year — almost all of it in open-air piles — was unprecedented, and caught residents and public officials off guard. With the amount of Canadian oil entering the U.S. increasing almost daily, refineries like Marathon in Detroit, BP in Whiting, Ind., and Phillips 66 in Roxana, Ill., have expanded to handle the glut. Even more oil could be on the way if the controversial Keystone XL pipeline is approved, though by then additional domestic pipelines could direct some to refineries in other regions, experts say. In Detroit, petcoke began appearing along the Detroit River in the spring, several months after the Marathon Oil refinery

Market mixed after surge NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market paused Monday, ending on a mixed note, after a string of records in recent weeks. Investors had little company-speciﬁc news to digest, although the U.S. and other world powers reached a deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program, an event that pushed down oil prices and energy stocks. The slow day represented a pause in the market’s strong run-up, capped by another milestone on Friday, when the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed above 1,800 for the ﬁrst time. Stocks have soared this

year as a combination of solid corporate earnings, a strengthening economy and easy-money policies from the Federal Reserve have drawn investors to stocks. Stocks have also gained because they offer an attractive alternative to bonds, where interest rates remain close to all-time lows. Despite light trade, Monday did feature another market milestone. The Nasdaq rose as high as 4,007.09, a level it hasn’t seen since Sept. 7, 2000, during the dot-com bubble. The index ended up 2.92 points, or 0.1 percent, at 3,994.57. The Dow Jones industrial

average rose eight points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,072.54. Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,802.48. The biggest drags on the S&P 500 were energy stocks. Sunday’s deal with Iran was the first significant progress in years to curtail that country’s nuclear ambitions. It could reduce the risk of conflict, improve trade and boost global oil supplies by making it easier for Iran to sell its crude onto the global market. That could increase global supply and push oil prices lower in the long-term.

Q A

Have you noticed that your pet has difficulty rising in the morning, cannot jump on the couch or bed, is reluctant to climb stairs, or whines when his back legs are touched? These are possible signs. Osteoarthritis is a progressive and degenerative disease, but it takes little Scott A. Taylor D.V.M. effort to manage. We recommend V-max, a specially formulated soft chew that helps slow joint degradation and targets inflammation. It is great for elderly pets, active dogs and joint discomfort and stiffness. Consult your vet to monitor your pet and adjust his treatment as necessary. Your pet's quality of life relies on your partnership between you and your veterinarian.

DENTISTRY Can I replace my dark fillings with tooth-colored fillings?

Yes you can. Previous to the past 20 years, dark, silver fillings were the main treatment for cavities in back teeth. They are still a very good treatment option. However, today's tooth- Jim Jansen, D.D.S. colored, composite resin fillings are much stronger Doug Jansen, and longer lasting than before. When a dentist D.D.S. finds a cavity in a tooth, he or she will frequently discuss with the patient using a silver or tooth-colored material, recommending which type is best for the patient. It is OK to discuss with your dentist replacing dark fillings with tooth-colored fillings, even if you are not having problems with the fillings - you just don't like the dark appearance in otherwise white teeth. If you need to schedule an appointment or ask a question, please call us a 260-347-5115.

interaction brightened my spirits, and when I got back in my car, I had a smile on my face. My car and my stomach were both refueled, but more importantly, I was refreshed. Her small act of kindness kept me going on the last leg of my journey home. The next week, I was cleaning out my purse, and I came across the receipt. The receipt reminded me of the clerkâ€™s warmth, and it had the address of the store. On impulse, I decided to write a quick thank you note to her manager. I normally donâ€™t write thank you notes â€” in fact, except for my wedding, Iâ€™ve never written many notes of thanksgiving or gratitude â€” but Iâ€™ve learned to heed such promptings.

times, itâ€™s especially important to spread joy and gladness whenever and wherever we can. Whether itâ€™s a note or a kind word or even just a smile, a little gratitude goes a long way. More people complain than give thanks, and Iâ€™ve heard it said that it takes 10 kind words to overcome a single harsh one. It sometimes takes a conscious effort on our part to say more positive words than negative ones, and to do more positive things than negative ones, but the ripple effect of that goodness is powerful. Mother Teresa advised us to â€œdo small things with great love.â€? Oftentimes, when we do such small things, we donâ€™t get to see the effects of our kind words or deeds, but every so often, weâ€™re blessed to discover the positive outcome. If thereâ€™s one thing Iâ€™ve learned from writing that short note, itâ€™s to give in to the impulse of kindness when it strikes. You never know what good may come of it or where it might lead you.

MARTINS

! KIND WORD CAN WARM THREE MONTHS OF WINTER â€” Japanese proverb Many times we do something positive or say something kind, but we donâ€™t see the impact it has on other people. We may practice these â€œrandom acts of kindness,â€? but we never know what happens next. One time, I was lucky enough to ďŹ nd out. I was returning from a business trip to northwest Wisconsin when I stopped to refuel and get a snack at one of those travel plaza/gas station combos on the expressway. It was late, I was tired, it was starting to rain, and all I wanted to do was get home, but home was still more than two hours away. I was feeling slightly crabby, and my back hurt from all the driving. I went inside to buy some veggie chips and a sparkling water. The checker smiled at me, and we chatted for a moment. I donâ€™t remember exactly what she said, but I do remember the kindness she showed me. Our brief

Initially, I felt a little awkward, embarrassed even, to be writing a thank-you note to a gas station manager, but I set aside my â€œfeelingsâ€? to listen to my gut. I told the womanâ€™s manager exactly what Iâ€™ve just shared with you â€” that his employeeâ€™s kind words and caring attitude stood out to me, brightening my trip home. It took all of ďŹ ve minutes to write the note and afďŹ x a stamp to the envelope. I dropped the missive in the mail, and that was that. That is, until a week later, when I received a thank-you note for my thank you note. That clerk â€” Robin is her name â€” wrote me back. As a result of my note, she received a commendation from her manager, a company award pin and then, to top it off, a merit raise. I was stunned, and the note brought tears to my eyes. Robinâ€™s kindness inspired me to return her positivity, and there it was â€” a small, mini chain reaction of goodness. In these challenging

Albaugh said the group stuck it out for two reasons. ‘First, these students have to learn that when you make a commitment, you have to follow through,” he said. “Two, we have sponsors who gave us $1,000 and we owe it to them to commit to ﬁnishing what we set out to do.”

Pacers roll past Minnesota INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â€” The Pacers arenâ€™t letting anybody keep up with the Georges. Certainly not Monday night. George Hill took care of the early work, scoring a season-high 26 points, and Paul George closed it out by scoring 11 of his 26 points during a decisive second-half stretch that ďŹ nally allowed Indiana to pull away from Minnesota 98-84 for yet another win. â€œWe just donâ€™t rely on one person to do all the work,â€? Hill said. â€œWe have multiple people who can make plays, who can play defense and things like that. We just continue to work together. We donâ€™t know whoâ€™s night itâ€™s going to be. All we know is we have one common goal and thatâ€™s to win the game.â€? The Pacers (13-1) are doing that at a record-setting pace this season. After opening with nine straight wins, theyâ€™ve followed their only loss with four more wins. Theyâ€™re now a perfect 8-0 at home for the ďŹ rst time in franchise history, off to the best start in franchise history and 3-0 against the Western Conference. Mondayâ€™s win followed a familiar script. Indiana used a suffocating defense, a balanced offense and a strong bench and to put away scrappy Minnesota (8-8). But Hill and George proved to be too much. Hill dominated the ďŹ rst half, scoring 12 points as the Pacers took a 20-6 ďŹ rst-quarter lead. George took care of the rest, spurring the game-changing run that ďŹ nally gave Indiana some breathing room in the second half. Together, they went 19 of

29 from the ďŹ eld and 7 of 8 on 3-pointers. Hill ďŹ nished with seven assists, ďŹ ve steals and three rebounds, while George had eight rebounds, four assists and four steals. â€œItâ€™s great, weâ€™re playing together, weâ€™re making smart plays,â€? Lance Stephenson said after scoring 13 points. â€œWe have so many weapons, you donâ€™t know who is going to have a big night.â€? Minnesota had other problems, too. The NBAâ€™s best defensive team

essentially turned the high-scoring Timberwolves into a three-man show. Kevin Love ďŹ nished with 20 points and 17 rebounds, Nikola Pekovic had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Kevin Martin added 18 points. Minnesotaâ€™s other ďŹ ve players combined for 28 points and 19 rebounds â€” not nearly enough to turn back the white hot Pacers. What happened? Minnesota shot 32.6 percent from the ďŹ eld, was 3 of 19 on 3-pointers, had 19 turnovers and went 8Â˝ minutes without a basket.

â€œWe shot the ball poorly, plain and simple, and you are not going to win that many games doing that,â€? Love said. â€œWe knew it was going to be a physical game and we tried to be physical right back. Then they went on that one run and were able to keep their distance.â€? Playing short-handed didnâ€™t help. Chase Budinger missed the game with a left knee injury, Shabazz Muhammad sat out with a sprained right ankle and Ronny Turiaf missed the game with a right elbow injury.

Blue Jackets pound Maple Leafs TORONTO (AP) â€” Cam Atkinson and R.J. Umberger 20 seconds apart in the ďŹ rst period, and Ryan Johansen added two goals as the Columbus Blue Jackets routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-0 on Monday night. Jack Skille and Ryan Murray added goals 3:15 apart in the second period, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves for his ďŹ fth career NHL shutout. The Blue Jackets went 3-2 on their ďŹ ve-game road trip. Torontoâ€™s James Reimer allowed all six goals on 21 shots two nights after he had a career-high, 49-save performance. Atkinson opened the scoring 10:18 in when he knocked Matt Calvertâ€™s pass out of the air and past Reimer for his sixth goal. Umberger quickly added his sixth, putting home the rebound after Reimer made the initial save on Ryan Murrayâ€™s wraparound. James van Riemsdyk had Toronto best chance of the ďŹ rst period, one-timing Phil Kesselâ€™s feed through Bobrovskyâ€™s pads, but the

On the ensuing power play, Murray put Johansenâ€™s feed past Reimer. Murray posted his ďŹ rst career multipoint game. The Blue Jackets scored

twice on their ďŹ rst four shots of the second period prompting the crowd to jeer Reimer following a routine save. Johansen ďŹ nished a 2-on-1 feed from Nick Foligno at 9:05 of the third making it 5-0. Johansen then added his team-leading eighth goal at 11:25, ending Reimerâ€™s night early. Reimer entered with a 6-2 record, NHL-best .947 save percentage, and a 2.10 goals-against average. Since allowing four goals to Ottawa and getting pulled in his second game of the season on Oct. 5, Reimer had stopped 156 of 161 shots at home. Reimer was 4-0 in ďŹ ve starts during that span. This was Reimerâ€™s ďŹ rst start and loss against Columbus. Bernier made one save in relief. At 10:50 of the third, Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf was assessed a minor penalty for illegal contact to the head when he caught Columbus forward Artem Anisimov with an open-ice hit.

Colts look for solutions to inconsistency INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â€” Colts coach Chuck Pagano keeps seeing the same problems on tape. The offense canâ€™t convert third downs. The defense canâ€™t get off the ďŹ eld. The slow starts have stalled Indyâ€™s ground game, and the Colts are continually trying to dig themselves out of big holes. Itâ€™s a mess. â€œEverybody we play is good, you know that. Every team that you play is good, theyâ€™ve all got great players and so forth, so the margin for error is minute,â€? Pagano said Monday. â€œBut that doesnâ€™t mean that weâ€™re going to go out there and play cautious and those types of things. I think weâ€™ve just got to get back to playing football and playing better fundamentals and techniques and doing the things that we did early in the season.â€? Playing Colts football would be a start. Lately, nothing has gone right. Indy (7-4) opened this season

talking about power running and protecting Andrew Luck. But Luck has been sacked 24 times, and when Luckâ€™s rushing stats are subtracted, Indy has averaged 4.1 yards per carry. Fans are growing increasingly concerned after losses of 29 and 30 points in two of the last three weeks, and four straight ďŹ rst halves that have been nothing short of dismal. But it may not be as bad as it seems. The Colts (7-4) still have a two-game lead in the AFC South over Tennessee (5-6) and could virtually wrap up the division title and a home playoff game with a win Sunday over the Titans. Indy hasnâ€™t lost back-to-back games since Pagano took over last season, a span of 26 consecutive games, although a bunch of those wins were with Bruce Arians serving as interim coach while Pagano battled leukemia. Somehow the Colts have managed to go 4-1 against teams

currently in playoff position, with wins over Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and the Titans. Yet they are 3-3 against the rest of the league, and with a little help could be in position to earn a ďŹ rst-round bye â€” if they can pull themselves out of this tailspin. What will it take? Thatâ€™s not entirely clear, either. Nothing has looked the same since the Colts lost Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne with a torn ACL late in their surprising Oct. 20 win over Denver. Luck has struggled to complete even 60 percent of his passes, and when the Cardinals took away receiver T.Y. Hilton on Sunday, it took Luck almost three full quarters to top 100 yards passing. â€œWe knew people were going to take him out of the game, and you knew yesterday who shadowed him,â€? Pagano said. â€œWe knew exactly going in what theyâ€™d probably do and they did it, they

put Pat (Peterson) on him and thatâ€™s what we can expect from here on out. Heâ€™s a game-wrecker, so to speak. If we were playing ourselves, weâ€™d identify T.Y. as a guy that we canâ€™t let wreck the game for us, and so weâ€™d try to plan accordingly.â€? Defensively, however, the problems have been just alarming. Once ranked among the leagueâ€™s best units in points allowed, Indy has given up 24 or more points six times in the last seven games and 93 points in the ďŹ rst half of the last four games. Some of whatâ€™s going on can be explained away as the effects of losing ďŹ ve key offensive players (Dwayne Allen, Vick Ballard, Ahmad Bradshaw, Donald Thomas and Wayne), none of whom will return this season. Losses of guys such as cornerback Greg Toler and even linebacker Erik Walden, who served a one-game league-imposed suspension Sunday, have hurt.

Dedicated Chargers about team BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — When the West Noble boys open their season tonight, at home against cross-county rival East Noble, fans will see a much different team on the floor than last year’s squad. And while that team jumped off to a hot start (10-0 and 14-1 at one point before ending at 15-6), the season ended with a first-round loss in the sectional. The Chargers fielded an exciting team last year. That winning momentum should carry over to this year, according to head coach Jim Best. This is Best’s third year at the helm of the Charger program and he leaves no doubt that his focus is on the team — not on individual players. “I believe that high school sports are about so much more than wins and losses,” Best said. “But don’t get me wrong — we strive to win every contest we can but there are so many life lessons that come about during every practice and contest. “These are really what high school athletics are about; being part of something much larger then yourself,” he added. “Coaches are entrusted with young boys and girls, and it is our job to help them understand what it means to be part of a vital, caring, responsible and loving community.” As for the team that will

be on the court tonight, Best said, “we will be guard heavy this year, we will have average height.” But that includes four guys 6-foot-3 or taller. The Chargers return four seniors: Drew Schermerhorn (6-foot-3); Phil Miller (6-foot-6); Brandon Evans (6-foot); and Landon Stover (5-foot-8), along with four experienced juniors: Brandon Moser (5-11), Kyler Warble (6-4); Nick Risser (5-9) and Waylon Richardson (6-5). “We will need to look for some new faces to do some scoring for us, but I know we have the kids to get that done,” Best said. “We see this season as being a great challenge with what I know will be a deeper conference as far as talent, and court experience and also a grueling non-conference schedule.” Last season, Schermerhorn was the team’s leading scorer until he went down with a severe ankle sprain and missed several games in the second half of the season. But he’s fully recovered and ready to score both from the perimeter and inside. Miller will be an inside presence for the Chargers with his height and experience. But he suffered a knee injury in practice earlier this month and probably will have to sit out the ﬁrst few games for West Noble. Evans and Stover are both mature in their basketball skills and will provide quality back-court talent. Warble is still growing

and could turn into one of the biggest impact players on the team. Richardson is a proven athlete who played backup quarterback for Stover during West Noble’s football season. Moser and Richardson also are expected to contribute to their team’s success this season. A pair of sophomores, Grant Moser and Drew Wiley, also made the varsity team this year. The biggest voids lost to graduation are Nick Noe, power forward, and Nick Thomas, a sparkplug point guard. But for Best, a basketball season is more than names and numbers; it’s a growing, living thing that thrives both in and out of the gym. He hopes that by focusing on character issues, his boys will respond with quality wins on the hardwood. He has instituted new ideas and programs he hopes will be traditions for a long time at West Noble. Some are fun and easy, like the “soap and towel” intra-squad scrimmage he started. It gives fans a sneak peek at the team while allowing the Charger faithful to donate things his boys need. He also has his team staying busy in the community. A couple of weekends ago, the Chargers and most of their fathers went around the community doing yard work for their fans. It did much to foster goodwill between the players and their fans. He also started a

three-ball booster club that helps raise money for the school for every three-point basket made by a player, through pledges from fans. That program he said, is all about “giving those in the community a chance to support the boys without a huge donation, and in turn we have the ‘power house’ room that members can use as a coat check, get light refreshments, pick up a limited information scouting report on the opponent and watch a tape of the Chargers’ last

game.” It also offers fans a chance to hang out with coaches, players, cheerleaders, families and others who have joined the club. “Hopefully, this will instill a attitude of servanthood and a understanding of some of the needs that are out there, and a understanding of how easy it can be to do these types of things when we all pull together,” said Best. “We have a group of outstanding young boys who are in the

process of becoming young men, and a fantastic mix of young men who are striving hard to be examples to these young boys and others in our community. “We are looking forward to getting back to the hardwood and all the experiences that a high school season presents.” Kevin Hunter returns as an assistant coach while Kyle Grimm, who recently earned a degree at Trine University after a stellar athletic career at West Noble, is a new

Garrett looks to build off last season BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — The good news for the Garrett boys basketball team under sixth-year head coach John Bodey is that two of the team’s top three scorers from last year are back, along with two role players who averaged between 3-5 poitns per game. With that kind of offensive production returning, Bodey is optimistic about his team’s chances to better last year’s 8-12 record. “We had a lot of close games last year,” Bodey said. “Other than Heritage, there were really no blowouts. Last year, the (scoring) balance between some of the players was at eight points per game. Hopefully this year, that’s 10-11 points per game. “Watching this summer, I think we can score; defending and rebounding at a high level is going to be the key for us.” Garrett’s top returning scorer from last season is back in junior guard/forward Justin McCoy. McCoy

averaged 13.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game last year while hitting 35 percent of his 3-point attempts. “He’s one of the best shooters in the area. He’s added something to his game this year so hopefully he’s a little more than just a shooter. He can do a few other things that make him a little harder to guard,” Bodey said. “He loves the game and he’s one of those kids that works at home in the driveway. He doesn’t miss a workout and he gets a lot of shots up. He has a quick release and can get his shot up.” The Railroaders’ third leading scorer from last season also returns in 6-foot-7 senior Matt Singleton (8.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 0.8 blocks per game). “He should be counted on to do more this year in his senior year,” Bodey said. Also returning is senior guard/forward Karsten Cooper, the only other player on the roster who played in all 20 games last year (4.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.5 assists, 1.2

steals per game) besides McCoy. “He’s just a real good defensive player, and has the ability to score off of penetration,” Bodey said. “He can hit the open jumper, also.” Those three are the top returners, but Bodey said that any of the 10 players identiﬁed on the roster as varsity players are capable of starting from game-to-game. “We have competition for spots and that’s a good thing,” Bodey said. One of a handful of players vying for a position is 6-4 junior Tommy Reneau (0.5 ppg, 0.9 rpg), who saw action in 14 games last year. “He mainly played JV last year and did some spot time on the varsity,” Bodey said. “He’ll be one of our better rebounders, and he’s leaning how to score inside. Others competing for spots include junior Jared Estep, senior Andrea Rosati (a foreign exchange student), senior Mike Cooper (a transfer from Benton Central), junior Layton Casselman (0.5 ppg in 11

Layton has gotten stronger and can shoot the ball. He’s developed his rebounding and become a better rebounder this summer. “Kordell can just shoot the ball. He’s a real good shooter and should make us harder to guard. The more guys you have that can shoot the ball, the more spread the defense gets and opens things up for you.” Also in the mix is junior James Benson, who played

in two games last year. “He’s a kid that loves the games, works hard, does anything you ask him to do and you always have a spot for those guys,” Bodey said. While Garrett’s strength appears to be outside shooting, Bodey would prefer the team build its offense inside-out with Singleton, Reneau and other post players. “We need a little more balance inside-out,” Bodey said. “We’ve had the ability to drive and go inside, we just need to do a little more of that. “I think we’re better offensively. The key for us is how well we defend and how well we rebound.” This is Garrett’s last season in the Allen County Athletic Conference before

the Railroaders move back to the conference they were in a decade ago, the Northeast Corner Conference. Garrett has yet to win an ACAC title, but Bodey is hopeful this is the year they can break the string. “Knowing Leo and Woodlan are going to be strong and we have them at home, we think we’re going to be good enough to compete against them,” Bodey said. “It’s a tough sectional — Concordia, Luers, Dwenger and New Haven is going to be one of the best teams that comes down from 4A. It’s tough sectional but hopefully we’ll improve this year and are ready when the sectional gets here.” Garrett opens its season Wednesday at Eastside.

Bulls star Derrick Rose out for season CHICAGO (AP) â€” Derrick Roseâ€™s comeback turned out to be a cameo, and the Chicago Bullsâ€™ worst nightmare became a reality again. The Bullsâ€™ hopes about contending for a championship this season took a serious hit. Their long-term plans appear to be up in the air, too. The team said Rose will miss the remainder of the season after having surgery Monday morning in Chicago to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. For the Bulls and their point guard, itâ€™s an all-too-familiar spot. â€œI felt for him. He is a great person, ďŹ rst and foremost,â€? coach Tom Thibodeau said before

Chicago played at Utah. Rose was injured Friday night at Portland, a huge setback for him and the organization. The 2011 NBA MVP missed all of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Chicagoâ€™s 2012 playoff opener against Philadelphia. He has played in just 50 NBA games â€” 49 in the regular season and that lone playoff game â€” since the Bullsâ€™ run to the Eastern Conference ďŹ nals during his MVP season. The latest injury occurred in the third quarter against the Trail Blazers. He lost his footing while

trying to change direction to get back on defense when Nicolas Batum stole a pass from Joakim Noah and started the other way. Rose limped across the court and couldnâ€™t put any weight on his knee. After the Blazers scored, he came out of the game during a timeout. It didnâ€™t appear there was any contact on the play. Rose was unable to return and was on crutches afterward. With Rose back, the Bulls were expected to challenge LeBron James and the Miami Heat for supremacy in the Eastern Conference and contend for their ďŹ rst championship since the Michael Jordan-Scottie

Pippen era. Instead, theyâ€™re in a familiar spot â€” trying to get by without their cornerstone player. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement he was â€œheartbrokenâ€? when he heard about Roseâ€™s injury. â€œEveryone at the Bulls knows ďŹ rsthand how extremely hard Derrick worked to return to the court this year, and I have no doubt he will do the same with regards to his recovery from this injury,â€? Reinsdorf added. â€œDespite Derrickâ€™s absence, this is still a good team. I know from last year, this team and coaching staff will continue to make our fans proud.â€?

Local Sports Briefs â€˘ Wrestling Angola sixth, DeKalb seventh at Northern Indiana Challenge MUNSTER â€” DeKalbâ€™s varsity wrestling team was seventh out of 12 teams in the Northern Indiana Challenge this past weekend. The Barons scored 142 points, as did Angola, but the Hornets beat DeKalb via tiebreaker to place sixth. Carroll won the event with 295.5 points. Zach Krumlauf of DeKalb went 5-0 at 138 pounds to win the individual title, defeating Angolaâ€™s Nick Spears in the title match. Spears was 3-2 on the day. For DeKalb, Chase Gish (126) was second in his weight class, Trevor Boyce (106) and Logan Williams (145) were third, Derek Wilson (113) was fourth, Ross Thompson (220) was sixth, Collin Bice (152) and Dylan Hulbert (195) were eighth,

Kyle Davis (120) was ninth, Dominic Fiig (160) and Stephen Lynch (172) were 10th, and Darin Fingleton (132) was 12th. Gish lost to Carrollâ€™s Joe Israbain in the title match. For Angola, Austin Bauer (145) was second, Chris Clute (182) and Braxton Amos (285) were third, Beau Hamer (220) was ďŹ fth, Benson Benally (195) Chase Pfefferkorn (126), Ben Rodenbeck (160) and Thomas Lapham (172) were sixth, Charles Lanam (152) was seventh, Andy Bauer (120) was eighth and Grant Tingley (132) was 11th.

DeKalb JV fares well at WN LIGONIER â€” Two DeKalb wrestlers ďŹ nished in ďŹ rst place in the West Noble JV Invitational last week. Hunter Martin (195 pounds) and Logan Oâ€™Brien (145) both went 3-0 to win their weight classes. Susie Fozo

(113 pounds) went 2-1 to ďŹ nish second, and Lucas Tucker went 2-1 in 145 pounds to ďŹ nish second. Trenton Sibery went 2-1 at 138 pounds to place second.

Girls Basketball DeKalb JV tops Garrett WATERLOO â€” DeKalb won the junior varsity game against Garrett on Friday night, 35-34. Kara Robinett led the Barons with 14 points and just missed out on a doubledouble with nine rebounds. Alyson Noye scored 11 points, Libby Koeppe had six points and Jade Bollet had four points. Sloane Robinson led Garrett with eight points. Lyndsey Gibson scored seven points, Megan Newby had ďŹ ve points, Amanda Stump and Kallie Knott each scored four points, and Tori Baver and Bailey Sutton each had three points.

SPORTS BRIEFS â€˘ Bryantâ€™s contract extended EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) â€” The Los Angeles Lakers signed Kobe Bryant to a two-year contract extension Monday, securing the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history into his 20th season with the franchise. Bryant hasnâ€™t played this season while recovering from surgery on his torn Achilles tendon in April, but the Lakers didnâ€™t wait to renew their commitment to the ďŹ ve-time NBA champion before he got anywhere close to the free-agent market next summer. Bryant inked the deal with owner Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak at his side in agent Rob Pelinkaâ€™s ofďŹ ce moments before the Lakers left for an East Coast road trip. Bryant, Buss and Kupchak all had repeatedly stated Bryant wouldnâ€™t leave his only NBA home. The 35-year-old guard quickly tweeted a picture of his signature with the hashtag: Laker4Life. â€œThis is a very happy day for Lakers fans and for the Lakers organization,â€? Kupchak said in a statement. â€œWeâ€™ve said all along that our priority and hope was to have Kobe ďŹ nish his career as a Laker, and this should ensure that that happens.â€? Bryant has spent more than half of his life playing for the Lakers, and if he fulďŹ lls his new contract, he will break John Stocktonâ€™s record of 19 seasons with one NBA franchise. But Kobeâ€™s legacy in L.A. already is secure: No less than Magic Johnson and Jerry West have declared Bryant the franchiseâ€™s greatest player, given his ďŹ stful of championship rings and his consistent brilliance while scoring more points than anybody in a Lakers uniform. Although Bryant is taking a pay cut from his $30.45 million salary this season, Kobe and the Lakers didnâ€™t exactly agree to a hometown discount, either. ESPN reported the deal is worth $48.5 million, keeping Kobe among the NBAâ€™s highestpaid players. Some fans grumbled online that the contract will limit the Lakersâ€™ ďŹ‚exibility in the free-agent market next summer, clouding their starry-eyed dreams of signing Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James. Other fans approved the payout as a reward for an iconic player who still ranked among the NBAâ€™s most dangerous scorers before his injury.

No. 3 Wildcats rally to win LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) â€” Andrew Harrisonâ€™s three-point play broke a 57-all tie before twin brother Aaron followed with a 3-pointer with 1:20 remaining, helping No. 3 Kentucky escape stubborn Cleveland State 68-61 on Monday night. Trailing 54-44 with 7:41 remaining and needing a breakthrough against the Vikings, the brothers helped the Wildcats (5-1) close with a 24-7 run including a pair of Aaron Harrison lobs inside to Willie Cauley-Stein for dunks along with a three-point play with 3:55 left to tie it at 54. After Bryn Forbesâ€™ 3-pointer provided a 57-56 lead, Cauley-Stein made one of two free throws before Andrew Harrison followed with his drive and free throw. Aaron Harrison added a 3-point for a six-point lead. Andrew Harrison scored 12 as the brothers combined for 23.

Haren signs with Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP) â€” Dan Haren wanted to pitch for a World Series contender next season, and he was eager to get back to his native Southern California. Haren found everything he wanted at Dodger Stadium. The right-hander agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with the Dodgers on Monday, adding another veteran arm to Los Angelesâ€™ deep rotation. The deal includes $3 million in performance bonuses and a $10 million vesting option for 2015. Haren was eager for a change after spending last season in Washington, where he went 10-14 with a 4.67 ERA even with a strong ďŹ nish to the season. He missed his wife and children during his year on the East Coast, and the 11-year veteran seized the chance to return home after spending the previous three seasons with the Angels. â€œMy kids are growing up, and to have the opportunity to come back so close to home and pitch for a championship-level club, it couldnâ€™t have happened any better for me,â€? Haren said. The three-time All-Star went 33-27 with the Angels, enduring a rough ďŹ nal season. He also got off to a slow start with the Nationals, but Haren regained enough of his form to make him attractive on the limited free-agent market.

Cards defend Peralta signing ST. LOUIS (AP) â€” The St. Louis Cardinals factored in Jhonny Peraltaâ€™s drug suspension when they negotiated a $53 million, four-year contract with the free agent shortstop. General manager John Mozeliak said Monday that Peralta had admitted wrongdoing and served his penalty, and that the Cardinals werenâ€™t about to appoint themselves â€œmorality police.â€? â€œCharacter and makeup are something we weigh into our decision-making,â€? Mozeliak said. â€œIn his case, he admitted what he did, he took responsibility for it. I feel like he has paid for his mistakes, and obviously if he were to make another one, then it would be a huge disappointment.â€? Mozeliak agreed with critics that penalties arenâ€™t strict enough.

Proceed with caution on new tax cuts Republicans hold such a strong majority in state government, they basically can do what they want in the 2014 session of the state legislature. But they’re having a hard time deciding what to do about adding a major tax break for business Tax cuts sound good in Indiana. Last week. until they cause a tax Republicans increase on someone in the Indiana else, threaten public House of Represensafety or reduce our tatives said eliminating quality of life. or reducing the business personal property tax would be one of their top priorities this winter. Businesses pay the tax on machinery, computers, furniture and other equipment. Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma called on House members to create a fair business tax policy to match other Midwestern states. Putting pressure on us, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois already have eliminated their personal property taxes. Indiana Chamber of Commerce president Kevin Brinegar has said that leaves Indiana at competitive disadvantage for luring new business to the state. Without getting speciﬁc, Gov. Mike Pence said last week he supports “more pro-growth tax relief, particularly focused on encouraging investment in industry in Indiana.” Wait just a minute, said Indiana Senate President David Long, R-Fort Wayne. Long pointed out that the personal property tax brings in $1 billion per year for local government and schools. He wanted to know how Indiana is going to replace that money. “We should not be afraid to look at this, but … if we don’t do it right, it could have a negative impact, a serious negative impact on the revenues for local governments,” Long said. The Association of Indiana Counties has come out against eliminating the tax, saying it would force local governments to cut services. The association warned that the burden of replacing the business personal property tax could fall on homeowners. Indiana Republican leaders are proud of their steps to reduce property taxes on homeowners in recent years. Those tax cuts forced local governments to learn how to operate on less money. Local leaders might be able to make even more cutbacks, but eventually they could reach their limit. Tax cuts sound good until they cause a tax increase on someone else, threaten public safety or reduce our quality of life. As they try to keep Indiana taxes competitive for business, Indiana legislators should be careful not to put other taxpayers or good local government at risk. We don’t want Indiana to become a state where everyone wants to do business, but nobody wants to live here.

Letters to The Editor • Albion community is a blessing to many To the editor: With the hustle and hurry of the season upon us, the Central Noble Food Pantry Board of Directors, volunteers and clients wish to take the time to thank our compassionate and caring community for their generosity to those less fortunate. We have received turkeys from Dexter Axel, nonperishable products from the staff at the Chain O’Lakes Correctional Facility, anonymous donations of products and/or funds from clubs, individuals and businesses. These individuals considered what they could do and acted on it. Typically the CNFP serves 60-plus families each Friday. However because of the approach of winter, the holidays, and the increase in expenses, we served 100 families on Friday, Nov. 22. We gave out 2,563 pounds of nonperishable products, plus bread, meat, dairy, health and beauty and fresh produce. This would not be possible without the generosity of our Albion community and the volunteers that give their time and effort to keep our doors open. The Community Harvest Bank Farm Wagon is at the Weslyan Methodist Church, 800 E. Main St., Albion, every Wednesday for those struggling with nutritional needs. Church opens at 9:30 a.m. for coffee. Distribution begins at approximately 10 a.m. For additional information call 564-1584. When I count my blessings on Thanksgiving Day, I will certainly thank God for the blessing of the Albion community. May your holidays be as blessed.

fact. The chuckles came in the fact that Mr. Truman’s letter was opinion and not facts either! 1. Man made global warming incontrovertible as it is overwhelming. Why then is it that many scientists have debunked it and are trying to ﬁgure out why the earth has been cooling over the last 15 years or so? 2. Obama was born in Hawaii, so far every birth certiﬁcate provided by Obama has been proven to be fake or altered, so was he born in Hawaii? Doesn’t really matter as his mother was a U.S. citizen therefore affording him the same rights as if he was born here or not. 3. Those opposing Obamacare are in the minority not the majority. Most polls show 54 percent to 55 percent opposed to Obamacare. Isn’t that a majority? 4. Voter fraud not rampant or done by illegals. Fraud was reported in many precincts in many different states and illegals claimed to have voted. So where is he getting his info? 5. Obama is a baptized and professing Christian. All I can say to that one is, actions speak much louder than words! I do not know Mr. Truman personally but from what I gather from his comments, he is an Obama supporter that does not like anyone saying anything bad about Obama. Brian E.

GOP opposes President Obama’s policies, not the man In the wake of President Obama’s latest tweak, two salient questions have emerged: Can the Affordable Care Act survive? Can the president even do what he did, legally? Though brilliant minds may differ, the president is probably within bounds, according to a compelling argument by Simon Lazarus, senior counsel at the Constitutional Accountability Center. The relevant constitutional text, he writes on The Atlantic’s website, requires that the president “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” a broad-enough concept to allow for judgment in the execution. The only prohibition is that the president not fail to execute the law owing to his opposition to a policy. Obviously, this is not the case here. As a political matter, it is also obvious that Obama is merely trying to right his own sinking ship, especially after Bill Clinton’s undoubtedly heartfelt advice

The high court didn’t endorse Obamacare as a good idea. It didn’t even find the individual mandate constitutional. It ruled that the mandate/penalty is constitutional only if the penalty is viewed as a “tax.” If one were to examine this gift horse’s mouth, one would have to note that, funny, but throughout the health care debate and oral arguments, and even now,

Democrats have insisted that the penalty is not a tax. Paging George Orwell. Whether the ACA survives the new timetable remains an open question. The plan sinks or swims on the basis of young, healthy people signing up, which, for now, they cannot do except in dribs and drabs. Further, the ACA clearly needed the canceled policyholders to buy new, more expensive policies to underwrite subsidies and pre-existing conditions. Given the season, the timing of these un-glad tidings could not be worse. Soon enough, Americans will figure out whether Obamacare is the gift Democrats promised — or if Obama is the Grinch who stole, you know, the holiday season.

Meeting ‘good guy’ online is possible DEAR ABBY: May I address a question you printed on July 24? “Where Are the Good Guys?” has trouble meeting men and wrote about seeking sexual partners on Craigslist. You answered that there were no good men there. Well, I met my boyfriend of two years through a “no strings attached” ad I posted on Craigslist. It turns out we had a strong attraction and chemistry, and he’s one of my best friends. So what if we were adults who wanted a casual relationship to start with? Don’t judge everyone that way. The reason that woman is having problems is she’s using the site to find sex partners when she really wants more. She needs to look in the “relationship” section or on a relationship site. Don’t blame men for wanting to have sex when that’s what she’s advertising. They aren’t all “bad.” They are actually more truthful than she is. —

It involves taking a “break” away from a difficult and ASK situation spending DOCTOR K. time in a less appealing place. Dr. Anthony • Use natural Komaroff consequences. For example, if she throws her food off her plate, she will not have any more to eat. If she tears the pages out of a book, she will no longer be able to read it. • Use logical consequences. Some behaviors have no immediate or obvious natural

consequences. In these cases, set consequences that are logically related to the misbehavior. For example, tell your child that if she does not pick up her toys before bed, she will not be allowed to play with them the next day. • Ignore harmless behaviors. Decide which issues are worth a battle and which are not. Consider ignoring behaviors that are harmless, such as temper tantrums or whining. What about spanking? Studies have shown that it isn’t as effective in changing long-term behaviors as positive reinforcement and other forms of discipline. In fact, spanking may actually make kids more aggressive in the future. Once I was the on-call doctor for a physician group that included a pediatrician. A mother called at 2 a.m. about a problem with her toddler. This is the conversation that followed:

DEAR DOCTOR K: My sister and I both have young children. She believes that toddlers are too young to discipline, but I think it’s important to establish rules and consequences early. What do you think? DEAR READER: Discipline is important for all children, including babies and toddlers. Disciplining your toddler means teaching and protecting your child, both at once. Your goal is to keep her safe by teaching her self-control and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. Discipline does not mean punishment. There are various ways to discipline a young child. You will probably use all of them at some time or another: • Express your disapproval. Go to your child, look him straight in the eyes, and say “No” or “Stop.” Tell him what he should not do and why. Tell your child what the

Me: “How can I help you?” Mother: “My son just set his mattress on fire!” Me: “How badly is he burned?” Mother: “He’s not burned at all.” Me: “So how can I help you?” Mother: “Tell me, doctor. Do you think I should spank him?” You may think I made up that story, but you can’t make this stuff up. It really happened. I suggested that she discipline him in any way she felt was appropriate — if she wanted to protect him, her, the other kids, the home and neighborhood. Final piece of advice: Always try to catch your child being good. Look for positive behaviors and compliment them. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Alicia Keys visits typhoon victims Walmart chooses successor to CEO MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys visited a Philippine air force base Monday to bring cheer to hundreds of evacuees from eastern provinces wracked by Typhoon Haiyan. The American singer distributed crayons and coloring books to children at the Villamor Air Base grandstand, where evacuees from eastern Leyte and Samar provinces arrive via C-130 planes. Social Welfare Department ofﬁcer Jane Abello says Keys stayed for about half an hour to chat with evacuees. The R&B star was in Manila for a concert Monday at the seaside MOA Arena. The Philippine Star earlier quoted her as saying that “music has a way of lifting your spirit and that’s what I hope to do for the Filipino people.” Keys tweeted three days after the Nov. 8 typhoon:

Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys, left, touches a typhoon survivor as she visits the Villamor Air Base in suburban Pasay, south of Manila, Philippines, Monday.

“To the people of the Philippines my heart is with you.”

Keys visited the air force base to bring cheer to hundreds of evacuees from eastern Philippine provinces wracked by Typhoon Haiyan earlier this month.

She also encouraged fans around the world to

donate to help the typhoon victims.

Report of gunman at Yale likely hoax NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Police have not found a gunman at Yale University and are leaning toward a call warning of an armed man heading to shoot up the school being a hoax, as a lockdown was lifted for most of the Ivy League campus Monday. “New Haven is safe. The Yale campus is safe,” said New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman. A lockdown remained in

effect on the Old Campus Monday afternoon as police search rooms to confirm that no gunman is on campus. There have been no reports of shots fired or anyone injured. A 911 call was received at 9:48 a.m. from a man at a pay phone about a mile from the campus who said his roommate was on the way to the university to shoot people, said Officer David Hartman, a New

Haven Police spokesman. “Though it is starting to tilt in the direction of an innocent mistake, it started with a purposeful and malicious call,” Esserman said, vowing to track down and arrest the person who made the call. The hunt, which came as the school was on November break, was stymied by students who had stayed behind and were afraid to open their doors,

police said. Police later received reports from witnesses who reported seeing someone with a gun, Hartman said. But he said it was possible they had simply seen officers responding to the initial call. There was nothing specific about the threat, he said, and the call lasted only seconds. There were no reports of shots fired or anyone injured.

Walmart’s latest fiscal year. In that role, McMillon has been expanding Walmart’s everyday low prices to Brazil and China, while trying to boost profitability by closing some stores in those countries. “This is a very natural progression,” said Brian Sozzi, CEO and chief equities strategist at Belus Capital Advisors. “Walmart’s engine of growth has been international.” McMillon and Duke declined interviews with The Associated Press through the company’s spokesman Dave Tovar. McMillon faces challenges. Walmart is seeing its low-income shoppers in the U.S. struggling with stagnant wages and rising costs. At the same time, Walmart faces fierce competition from online competitors and dollar chains that offer convenience and lower prices. The company also has image problems. Walmart is being pressured to further increase its oversight of factory conditions abroad following a building collapse in April in Bangladesh that killed more than 1,127 garment workers. And it continues to face criticism over its treatment of its hourly workers. Additionally, allegations of bribery in Walmart’s Mexico operations that surfaced in April 2012 have slowed business overseas.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Walmart Stores Inc. is ushering in a changing of the guard as the world’s largest retailer confronts slower growth and challenges to its reputation. Doug McMillon, head of Walmart’s international division, will succeed CEO and President Mike Duke, 63, when he steps down on Feb. 1 after ﬁve years in those roles. McMillon, a 23-year company veteran, will become the ﬁfth CEO since Walmart’s founder Sam Walton. The change at the top is indicative of a recent shift in strategy at the company best known for its cutthroat pricing and big box stores. McMillon, 47, is expected to infuse a youthful spirit into Walmart’s culture at a time when the company is trying to reinvent itself to attract a generation of shoppers who gravitate toward tablets and mobile devices. The move also is a testament to the company’s continued focus on its international division. McMillon, who started at the company in 1984 as a summer intern, left and came back in 1990 to work at a Walmart store before holding several jobs, including a three-year stint as president and CEO of the Sam’s Club division. But in February 2009, he succeeded Duke to head the international division, which accounted for 29 percent of its $466.1 billion in annual net sales in

Syria, opposition to hold talks GENEVA (AP) — Syria’s government and opposition will meet for the ﬁrst time in an attempt to halt the nearly 3-year-old civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people, the United Nations said Monday. Previous attempts to bring the two sides together have failed, mainly because of disputes over who should represent the opposition and the government, Syrian President Bashar Assad’s future role in the country, and whether Iran, Saudi Arabia and other regional powers should be at the table. The announcement comes the day after Tehran and world powers agreed to

a six-month nuclear deal in Geneva. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the government and opposition to help the Jan. 22 conference to be held in Geneva succeed by taking steps to stop the violence, provide access for desperately needed humanitarian aid, release detainees, and help hundreds of thousands of refugees and internally displaced people return to their homes. “We go with a clear understanding: The Geneva conference is the vehicle for a peaceful transition that fulﬁlls the legitimate aspirations of all the Syrian people for freedom and

dignity, and which guarantees safety and protection to all communities in Syria,” he told reporters at U.N. headquarters. He said a key goal would be the establishment of a transitional government with powers over military and security. A full list of participants has not yet been decided on. The U.N. did not specify who will be representing Syria’s opposition at the talks, but Britain’s foreign secretary said the main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, will participate. The group has limited control over the myriad rebel groups ﬁghting Assad’s forces.

Flames rise from a fuel tank that was burned by rebels’ shelling at a fuel reﬁnery in Homs, Syria, last week. Syria’s government and opposition will hold their

ﬁrst peace talks on Jan. 22 in Geneva, in an attempt to halt the nearly 3-year-old civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people, the United Nations said Monday.
