Eagleson LaGrange’s new town manager LAGRANGE — Mark Eagleson has been hired to become LaGrange town manager. The town council, which Eagleson serves as president, made the decision last week. Eagleson will assume the new position Jan. 20 and will be resigning his seat on the town board. The LaGrange County Democratic Party has 30 days to appoint Eagleson’s replacement on the council, who will serve until Eagleson’s term expires at the end of 2014. The town will not hold a special election. Eagleson said demands on the town required the board to create the new town manager position. He said the position will allow him and the town’s clerk-treasurer, Laurie Miller, to oversee the daily business of the town. “This creates a sort of checks-and-balances system with Laurie,” Eagleson said. He also pointed out that LaGrange previously operated with an office staff of four, and hiring him as the new town manager brings the town’s staff back up to four people. Eagleson has been a member of the LaGrange town council since 2006.

Business tax cut would cost county BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — A proposed change in the Indiana tax code could remove 10 percent of Noble County government’s general fund budget, the Noble County Board of Commissioners learned Monday. The Indiana General Assembly is considering a proposal to do away with the business personal property tax, Noble County Auditor Jackie Knafel said Monday. Knafel calculated that business personal property tax accounts for about $922,000 of the county’s $9 million general fund budget.
Including money from outside the general fund, the impact of the change would be closer to $1.1 million, she said. The figures are only those for Noble County government, and do not include cities, towns, schools, libraries and other taxing units that would be affected. Commissioner Chad Kline said he and other commissioners have spoken to state legislators, telling them they oppose such a change because of the impact it would have on budgets. Knafel explained that, under Indiana law, the change’s impact would be spread among other taxes and taxpayers.
“Somebody has to make up those gaps, and it’s all the rest of us,” she said. Also Monday, the commissioners: • learned that the county employee health clinic saved the county $337,969 in 2013. By using the We Care clinic, the county and employees saved money on insurance payments for medical costs, Knafel said. Most of the savings came on prescriptions, with other expenses including office visits comprising the rest of the savings. About 80 percent of the county’s employees used the clinic in 2013, Knafel said.
The clinic is a joint effort of the county and the Central Noble Community School Corp., serving both agencies’ employees and their families. • approved a service contract to pay a $16,909 annual fee to Frontier North Inc. for equipment and software maintenance on the county’s Solarcom E-911 system. The $128,000 system was installed 14 months ago, said Noble County E-911 executive director Mitch Fiandt. The service contract will provide comprehensive monitoring and maintenance of all aspects of the system.

Health insurance shoppers given extra day CHICAGO (AP) — Anticipating heavy traffic on the government’s health care website, the Obama administration effectively extended Monday’s deadline for signing up for insurance by a day, giving Americans in 36 states more time to select a plan. The grace period — which runs through Tuesday — was the latest in a series of pushed-back deadlines and delays that have marked the rollout of the health care law. But federal officials urged buyers not to procrastinate. “You should not wait until tomorrow. If you are aiming to get coverage Jan. 1, you should try to sign up today,” said Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for the federal agency in charge of the overhaul. Bataille said the grace period was being offered to accommodate people from different time zones and to deal with any technical problems that might result from a last-minute rush of applicants. The HealthCare.gov site had a disastrous, glitch-prone debut in October, but the government reported on Twitter that it was running smoothly Monday
morning. It had no immediate estimates of how many people visited the site. Monday had been the deadline for Americans in the 36 states served by the federal website to sign up if they wanted coverage upon the start of the new year. The remaining states operate their own online marketplaces, and some of them have also extended their deadlines slightly. The extra day will add incrementally to the already daunting administrative problems for insurance companies, such as inaccuracies on applications, said health care industry consultant Robert Laszewski. “Insurers would like to have two to three weeks to process applications. Now they’re going to have a week, less one more day,” he said. “When the day is done, it doesn’t help.” President Barack Obama himself signed up for health insurance through the Washington marketplace over the weekend — a purely symbolic move since he will continue to get health care through the military as commander

Notre Dame’s request for injunction rejected SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A federal judge said he doesn’t think the University of Notre Dame will succeed in its challenge to a federal health care law requirement that it provide students and employee health plans that cover birth control. U.S. District Judge Philip Simon on Friday rejected the Catholic school’s request for an injunction, prompting Notre Dame to file an appeal Monday to the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. School spokesman Paul Browne said Monday that Notre Dame was disappointed by Simon’s ruling, but was determined to press forward with the lawsuit it filed earlier this month. “We continue to believe that the challenged mandate is an impermissible infringement on Notre Dame’s religious rights,” he said. The lawsuit challenges a compromise in the Affordable Health Care Act offered by the Obama administration that attempted to create a buffer for religiously affiliated hospitals, universities and social service groups that oppose birth control. The
law requires insurers or the health plan’s outside administrator to pay for birth control coverage and creates a way to reimburse them. Notre Dame contends the law violates its freedom to practice religion without government interference. The Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president, has said that the government’s accommodations would require Notre Dame to forfeit its rights, “to facilitate and become entangled in a program inconsistent with Catholic teaching and to create the impression that the university cooperates with and condones activities incompatible with its mission.” Simon wrote that the government is authorizing the third party to pay for the contraception, not Notre Dame. “Notre Dame wants to eat its cake, and have it still, at the expense of Congress, administrative agencies, and the employees who will be affected,” Simon wrote. “Notre Dame is free to opt out of providing the coverage itself, but it can’t stop anyone else from providing it.”

MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail Kalashnikov started out wanting to make farm equipment, but the harvest he reaped was one of blood as the designer of the AK-47 assault rifle, the world’s most popular firearm. It was the carnage of World War, Kalashnikov when Nazi Germany overran much of the Soviet Union, which altered his course and made his name as well-known for bloodshed as Smith, Wesson and Colt. The distinctive shape of the gun, often called “a Kalashnikov,” appeared on revolutionary flags and adorns memorabilia. Kalashnikov died Monday at age 94 in a hospital in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurtia republic where he lived, said Viktor Chulkov, a spokesman for the republic’s president. He did not give a cause of death. Kalashnikov had been hospitalized for the past month with unspecified health problems. Kaslashnikov often said he felt personally untroubled by his contribution to bloodshed. “I sleep well. It’s the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence,” he told The Associated Press in 2007. The AK-47 — “Avtomat Kalashnikov” and the year it went into production — is the world’s most popular firearm, favored by guerrillas, terrorists and the soldiers of many armies. An estimated 100 million guns are spread worldwide. Though it isn’t especially accurate, its ruggedness and simplicity are exemplary: it performs in sandy or wet conditions which jam more sophisticated weapons such as the U.S. M-16. “During the Vietnam war, American soldiers would throw away their M-16s to grab AK-47s and bullets for it from dead Vietnamese soldiers,” Kalashnikov said in July 2007 at a ceremony marking the rifle’s 60th anniversary. The weapon’s suitability for jungle and desert fighting made it nearly ideal for the Third World insurgents backed by the Soviet Union, and Moscow not only distributed the AK-47 widely but also licensed its production in some 30 other countries.

2 men sought after girl’s abduction
ALBION — A Kendallville teenager was injured in a crash Dec. 13, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said. Tricia R. Van Gessel, 17, was traveling southbound on C.R. 350E near S.R. 8 at 7:45 a.m. when she swerved to miss something in the road and lost control of a 1996 Chevy Corsica on the snowy surface. The car left the road and rolled over. Van Gessel complained of head pain. She was treated at the scene by Noble County EMS. Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Authorities in western Indiana are searching for two men in connection with the abduction of a 15-year-old girl. Vigo County Chief Deputy Clark Cottom says the girl answered her door for what she believed was a package delivery Sunday evening, but the man at the door tried to grab her. She fled into the house, with the man following her, and when she ran back outside, a second man flashed a knife at her, and both men forced her into a van. Cottom says the girl was in the van for an undetermined amount of time before being released near her home. She later was treated at a hospital. The girl told officers the men both were white and in their mid-20s to early 30s.
Deck collapse sends 7 to hospital NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) — Several people have been injured after a deck collapsed at a southern Indiana subdivision clubhouse. Maj. Jason Cochran of the New Chapel Fire Department said crews transported seven people to hospitals following the collapse Sunday afternoon in northern Floyd County. He says none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. The injuries included head injuries, minor abrasions and back pain. More than two dozen people had gathered on the deck for a family photo when it collapsed. The collapse occurred in the Wolf Lake subdivision northwest of Interstates 65 and I-265, about five miles north of Louisville.

Broken levee closes highway INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Water covered several highways Monday as central and southern Indiana residents contended with flooded creeks and rivers following a weekend of heavy rain and melting snow. The high water impeded the morning rush hour for Indianapolis commuters, causing them to take alternate routes around inundated roads, emergency management officials said. “The good news is that we don’t have school today, and many people aren’t working due to the Christmas holiday,” Ed Reuter, director of the Bartholomew County Emergency Operations 911 Center, told The Republic newspaper on Monday. “But, nevertheless, State Road 46 West is going to be our most crucial area.” The East Fork of the White River was expected to

crest about noon Monday in that area. Bartholomew County Engineer Danny Hollander said the county highway department ran out of high-water signs with so many flooded roads. Nearby, the Indiana Department of Transportation closed a heavily traveled portion of U.S 31 near Edinburgh. The commissioners of Johnson County, south of Indianapolis, declared a local emergency Monday because of the flooding. Emergency Management Agency Director Stephanie Sichting said the county could receive aid later to help with damage to roads, homes and businesses. Water covering all five lanes of Fall Creek Parkway south of the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis hampered the morning commute on a major Indianapolis thoroughfare. Local television stations showed motorists slowly braving the standing water before police completely closed the road. A short distance upstream, Fall Creek was 4 feet above flood stage, the National Weather Service said. The White River was nearly 9 feet above flood stage Monday at Anderson, northeast of Indianapolis. The weather service said the river would fall below flood level today as the crest moved downstream. WTHR-TV reported that the American Red Cross opened shelters in Muncie, New Castle, Shelbyville and Martinsville, but there were no reports of large-scale evacuations.
Man charged after crash LIGONIER — A Ligonier man was charged as a minor in possession of alcohol after a Sunday crash, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said. Faron Yoder, 18, was westbound on C.R. 1200N past S.R. 5 at 10:49 p.m. when he lost control of his 2004 Ford F-250 on the icy road. The car went off the road into a yard and rolled onto its top. Yoder allegedly tested with a blood-alcohol content of 0.02 percent. He was booked into the Noble County Jail early Monday.

Burglary tried at business ALBION — Someone tried to break into a business in the 100 block of South Orange Street, the Albion Police Department said. The person threw a brick at a window, cracking the window, and threw a rock at a door of the business. Police found pry marks and damage to a couple of windows.

massive warehouse, shelves are stacked tall with boxes of food the church uses to stock 143 grocery-store-like storehouses it runs across the Americas to provide food to members in need.
Utah stockpiling food SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Towering grain silos overlook the main highway in Salt Lake City at the Mormon church’s Welfare Square. At grocery stores, there’s a whole section with large plastic tubs with labels that read, “Deluxe survivor 700.” Radio ads hawk long-term supplies of food with 25-year shelf lives. And houses are equipped with special shelving for cans of beans, rice and wheat. Storing away enough food and water in case of disaster, job loss or something worse is not just part of the fundamental teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it’s an idea that is increasingly catching on nationwide. And it’s also big business. A large majority of food storage companies that do
Internet sales are based in the state. Terms once used only by Mormons, such as 72-hour kit, are mainstream, as is the survivalist “preppers” philosophy that taps into the Mormon church’s century-old teachings on the topic. “The wisdom behind preparing is taught heavily in this population,” said Paul Fulton, president of Ready Store, based in Draper, Utah, about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. “They’ve led the way.” The Mormon emphasis on self-reliance dates back to the mid-1800s when food storage began as a pragmatic way to ensure survival as church members trekked across the country to Salt Lake City, said Matthew Bowman, assistant professor of religion at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.
Church leaders gave everyone lists of what to bring, and then stockpiled food at storehouses as towns were settled. By the mid-1900s, church leaders worried about nuclear war were using more apocalyptic rhetoric in encouraging food storage. During the Cold War, church members were encouraged to have a two-year supply, Bowman said. In the last two decades, the focus on food storage has shifted back to practicality. “A lot of times we are thinking in terms of food storage that we are preparing for this major calamity or major disaster or for Armageddon,” said Rick Foster, manager of North America Humanitarian Services with the LDS church. “It’s not about that.
Judge won’t halt gay marriages SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal judge on Monday allowed gay marriage to continue in Utah, rejecting a request to put same-sex weddings on hold as the state appeals a decision that has sent couples flocking to county clerk offices for marriage licenses. Judge Robert J. Shelby overturned Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage Friday, ruling the voter-approved measure is a violation of gay couples’ constitutional rights. The state then asked him to put a stop to the weddings, but he rejected the request.
Lawyers for the state quickly filed a request with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to put gay marriage on hold. More than 200 gay couples have obtained marriage licenses since Friday in Utah’s most populous county. On Monday, an estimated 100 licenses were issued in other counties. Couples began lining up Sunday night at the Salt Lake County clerk’s office as they hoped to get licenses amid the uncertainty of the pending ruling. They anxiously eyed their cellphones for news on the decision.
Second opinion ordered for teen girl on ventilator OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — With a family fighting a hospital to keep their brain-dead daughter on life support just days before Christmas, a California judge on Monday ordered a second medical evaluation for 13-year-old Jahi McMath. Jahi experienced complications following a tonsillectomy at Children’s Hospital in Oakland. As her family sat stone-faced in the front row of the courtroom, an Alameda County judge called for Jahi to be independently examined by Paul Graham Fisher, the chief of child neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine. The examination was expected to occur later on Monday. Hospital staff and Fisher will conduct an electroencephalogram, or EEG, and tests to see if blood is still flowing to Jahi’s brain. Doctors at Children’s Hospital concluded the girl was brain dead on Dec. 12 and wanted to remove her from life support. Jahi’s family wants to keep her hooked up to a respirator, and eventually have her moved to another facility. The family said they believe she is still alive, and that the hospital should not remove her from the ventilator without their permission.
“It’s wrong for someone who made mistakes on your child to just call the coroner … and not respect the family’s feeling or rights” Sandra Chatman, Jahi’s grandmother, said in the hallway outside the courtroom. “I know Jahi suffered and it tears me up.” The family’s attorney also asked Judge Evelio Grillo to allow a third evaluation by Paul Byrne, a pediatric professor at the University of Toledo. The hospital’s attorney objected to Byrne, saying he is not a pediatric neurologist.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer. With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name! “Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished

No agreement on Iran invite to Syria conference
Syrian bombs kill 45 BEIRUT (AP) — Government forces widened a bombing campaign in rebel-held areas of northern Syria on Monday, striking the northern city of Aleppo and a town on the Turkish border in raids that left an estimated 45 people dead, activists said. The attack on the border town of Azaz was the latest attack using powerful but inaccurate “barrel bombs� on the Aleppo region, said an activist who goes by the name of Abu al-Hassan Marea. He said residents in the town told him that 15 people were killed in the strike. Another activist group, the Local Coordination Committees, gave the same death toll. The Azaz attack suggests the government is expanding its range of targets a week after it began an unusually heavy air offensive against Aleppo on Dec. 15, dropping barrel bombs on rebel-held areas from helicopters. Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, is divided into governmentand-rebel-ruled areas. The Britain-based
AP
Vehicles burn Sunday after a Syrian aircraft pummeled an opposition
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that multiple air raids on the Aleppo neighborhoods of Sukkari, Maadi, Marjeh and Nairab left at least 30 people including 12 children dead on Monday. It said the death toll could rise as there are many people who were seriously wounded. On Sunday, 65 were killed near an Aleppo marketplace in one of the bloodiest days of the air campaign, according to activists. Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Observatory, said earlier in the day that air raids on the northern province of Aleppo have killed at least 301 people

including 87 children, 30 women and nearly 30 opposition fighters since mid-December. That figure did not include those reported killed Monday. The aid group Doctors Without borders has said the bombs killed at least 189 people and wounded 879 in the first four days alone. The main Westernbacked Syrian opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, warned that if the bombing campaign against Aleppo continues it will not take part in U.N.-sponsored peace talks planned for Jan. 22 in Switzerland. A coalition statement quoted the group’s Secretary
General Badr Jamous as saying they will boycott the talks in case the air raids do not stop. Barrel bombs are crude devices filled with explosives and fuel that are wildly inaccurate — often landing near schools and market places, causing massive damage on impact. The government has not commented on the use of the crude weapons, nor on the intensified strikes over Aleppo. But the timing suggests that President Bashar Assad could be trying to strengthen his position a month ahead of planned peace talks in Switzerland.
GENEVA (AP) — The U.S. is blocking Iran’s participation at the Syria peace conference planned for next month. but the other delegations have been agreed on and will include other regional players such as Saudi Arabia, officials said Friday. The U.N.-Arab League’s Syria envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, said about 30 nations would be invited to a day of speechmaking planned for Jan. 22 in the city of Montreux, and Iran’s participation was the only sticking point, but was still a possibility. The Syrian opposition also has opposed Iran’s involvement. “Our partners in the United States are still not convinced that Iran’s participation would be the right thing to do,� Brahimi told a news conference. “We have agreed that we will be talking a little bit more to see if we can come to an agreement on this question.� His comments came after a day of meetings with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — Britain, China, France,
Russia and the U.S. — and Syrian neighbors Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. Along with those nations, other invitees include Algeria, Brazil, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The actual negotiations between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government and opposition representatives begin on Jan. 24 at the U.N.’s European headquarters in Geneva. A senior U.S. official told reporters on condition of anonymity that the U.S. objected to Iran’s participation because it hasn’t publicly endorsed the principles from the first Geneva peace conference on Syria in June 2012 and is providing financing and military personnel to militias including the Iranian-allied Lebanese Hezbollah group that has backed Assad’s troops. The official wasn’t authorized to speak on the record about the matter. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has said it has high-level advisers in Syria, but denied having fighters there.

with ashes and soot. A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack. His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly! He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself! A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose! He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!�

Superstorm Sandy victims still waiting for aid NEW YORK (AP) — As a second New Year since Superstorm Sandy approaches, many coastal residents are still waiting for New York, New Jersey and New York City to distribute billions of federal dollars that were intended to go directly to people struggling to rebuild their homes. Only a fraction of that money has been spent, leaving storm victims at the mercy of a frustrating maze of bureaucracy. Depending on where they live, the checks could be anywhere from days to many more months away. “It’s enough to drive you crazy,� said Katie Fazekas, a teacher’s aide who has become so distraught over still being out of her damaged Freeport, N.Y., bungalow that she sometimes can’t get through the day without crying. Checks could be in the mail by New Year’s Day for many storm victims, but major disparities are emerging in terms of how quickly people can expect to get help. New York state officials say that in the past few weeks, they have sent out $88 million to 2,500 Long Island homeowners to reimburse them for repair work that wasn’t covered by insurance. The state has also asked federal officials for permission to immediately advance another $250
million to at least 3,000 more Long Islanders by Jan. 1. Those homeowners would also receive commitments for an additional $250 million, to be distributed once contractors have begun the work. It isn’t clear whether that approval will come, but if it does, it would mean help for nearly all of the 6,000 Long Islanders who had applied for one of the state’s New York Rising grants by Nov. 6. But in New York City, which is running its grant program independently of the state, officials say they are still plowing through 20,000 active aid applications and have distributed little of the $521 million they initially set aside for rebuilding grants to single-family-home owners and multifamily properties. The city has yet to conduct even an initial inspection of 89 percent of the homes in the “Built it Back� program. Only a handful of applicants have been able to start construction. Deputy Mayor of Operations Cas Holloway said the program will ramp up considerably in January and February, but he said it would likely be June before the city finishes meeting with homeowners to tell them how much they will receive. “We are doing it as fast we can do it,� Holloway
said. He cited the huge number of applications — more than triple the number that came in on Long Island — and a laborious set of federal documentation and inspection requirements as the primary reasons for the delay. New Jersey is occupying a middle ground. Of the 12,700 homeowners who were told they qualified for rebuilding grants, 900 had finalized grants worth a combined $95 million as of last week, state officials said. Another 150 homeowners may get another $15 million in grants by New Year’s Day. That represents a payout rate of roughly 18 percent of the $600 million initially budgeted for the rebuilding grant program. Thousands more New Jersey residents have been notified that an award is in the works soon, but the majority of qualified applicants — 8,200 in total — have been placed on a waiting list. Richard Constable, New Jersey’s community affairs commissioner, says the process is not moving as quickly as the state would like, but he said it has picked up steam. “For us, this is a success now,� he said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the city’s performance at an event last week, saying it

has gotten help to storm victims faster than any other U.S. city hit by a major hurricane. Even before the rebuilding grant program was created, the city used Federal Emergency Management Agency money to restore electricity, heat and running water to 12,000 damaged homes. “We cleaned up and got people back in their homes and back on their feet faster than anybody else,�
residents who say they have yet to receive funding to allow them to complete repairs on the home damaged in the storm on Oct. 29, 2012.
Bloomberg said. “Now, if you were hurt, you’re going to say it wasn’t fast enough, I understand that. But, we’ve done a very good job.� Congress approved a roughly $60 billion Sandy aid bill last January, setting aside a large chunk of that money for housing rehabilitation programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development took several
months to develop rules for implementing those programs. The states then had to build a system for awarding them. Each region’s program is slightly different. New Jersey did an initial round of $10,000 grants to residents with damaged properties who agreed to remain in the same county after the storm. That aid totaled $180 million and was distributed more quickly.
Fixed rates are latest in college tuition plans Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Paint and Wallpaper
347-1164 106 S. Main Street Kendallville
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Freshmen at Northland College, a small Wisconsin liberal arts school known for its environmental focus, will pay no more than $30,450 in tuition next year. They’ll pay the same the following year. And the year after that. The college on the shore of Lake Superior is joining a growing number of schools promising fixed-rate tuition — a guarantee that most students will pay a single rate for the length of their college careers. The programs at schools like George Washington University, University of Kansas and Columbia College in Missouri aim to help families budget for college without worrying about big price jumps. They also give recruiters something to tout on the road to
try to ease the sticker shock. Tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose 27 percent in the past five years, while those at four-year private schools went up 14 percent, according to the College Board. About 320 colleges and universities offered tuition guarantees during the 2012-13 school year, according to an analysis of U.S. Department of Education data done by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. The schools represent about 6.7 percent of the nation’s nearly 4,800 institutions where students receive federal financial aid. Many fixed-rate plans are coupled with a commitment to hold financial aid steady so students have a firm cost estimate, but they are not discounts. At Kansas, students
starting as freshmen pay more than standard tuition in their first two years to offset lower rates in the last two. Other schools try to estimate expenses and inflation and set rates that cover costs when averaged over four years. Transfer students generally pay tuition for the year they enter; at Kansas, they pay standard tuition. Students say the programs help them hold down costs by allowing them to budget wisely and borrow less. “I can’t think of any other major expense where a student or their family is expected to commit to such a large expense without knowing what it is going to cost,� Jane Mahoney, a recent graduate of the University of Kansas, said in an email. “I think the tuition agreement puts a lot of students and families at
ease when figuring out how to fund a college degree.� Mahoney, 23, said Kansas’ program helped her and her parents decide how much she needed to work, take out in loans and receive in family help. It also gave her an incentive to graduate in four years because the rate was only good that long. Mahoney ended up finishing a semester early, with $16,000 in loans — an amount she has found manageable with her job as the alumni association’s digital media and marketing coordinator. Many schools have been rethinking their costs as graduates struggle with student debt and diminished job prospects. Some schools have frozen tuition. A smaller group has slashed rates 20 percent or more in heavily publicized “tuition resets.�

Q
FUNERAL HOME
What is the value of the funeral ritual in the grieving process?
A
Ritual means "to fit together." A meaningful funeral ritual helps a family create order out of emotional disorder. The funeral ritual is the conscious act of recognizing life has changed because of the death. Kathy Young Survivors have a funeral to acknowledge and support this change through such elements as visitation, service, music, procession, committal and gatherings. It is possible to have a full funeral service even for those choosing cremation. The importance of the ritual is to help a family begin the healing process.

Q
DENTISTRY
Why do I get cavities and how do I prevent them?
A
The answer to this question is simple. Tooth decay is caused by bacteria and sugar. Bacteria are found in the mouth in the Jim Jansen, form of plaque and tartar. It breaks down the D.D.S. sugar you eat and drink into an acid. This Doug Jansen, acid then attacks the enamel and forms holes D.D.S. in the enamel called cavities. You can help prevent cavities by reducing your sugar consumption, brushing and flossing daily, and having regular dental check-ups. If you think you may have cavities, don't delay. See your dentist in a timely manner. If you are looking for a dentist, Jansen Family Dentistry is accepting new patients. Please call 347-5115 for an appointment.
We would like to replace the old wood entry doors in our house and don't know whether to go with a steel door or a fiberglass door.
I recommend steel entry doors for a few reasons. First is security. The doors that we offer are twenty-two gauge steel. Most steel doors on the market are around twenty-four to twenty-six gauge steel. The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel panels are. Also, the side Tyler Knox panels are made up of steel as well, not wood. Owner This means that if someone were to try to break in, they would have a much harder time of going through steel than breaking a wood side panel. This style of door also has magnetic weather-stripping around the jamb so when the door closes, it connects magnetically to the weather-stripping leaving no area for air infiltration. There is also the beauty of a steel entry door. They come with a baked-on enamel finish in many different paint colors, and you can also get them in about ten different wood grain options. If you have any more questions, please feel free to call any time.

Q A
VETERINARIAN
Do pets need special care in the winter months?
An important consideration is wind chill. If your dog doesn't have a thick, plush, hair coat, consider a winter jacket when temperatures drop below 20°F. Use pet-friendly ice melters and use a damp cloth to wipe off your pet's paws after coming into the house. Outside dogs should have appropriate shelter out of the wind and off the ground. Dry bedding should be used within the shelter. Provide a heated water source, to keep water bowls from freezing. Provide a safe, warm shelter for indoor/outdoor cats. Be sure to "bang" on your car hood before starting the car, especially if you see paw prints on Scott A. Taylor your hood. Cats often hide under a vehicle's hood when it's D.V.M. warm and can be severely injured when the car is started. Look for the signs of frostbite: redness, coolness to touch, swelling, eventual sloughing of the tissue. If you do notice any of the signs, bring your pet into a sheltered, warm area immediately. Avoid touching or heating the area; rather, slow re-warming of the tissue with lukewarm water is best and will prevent further injury. Visit your vet to make sure pain medication or antibiotics aren't necessary. Avoid space heaters due to the potential for thermal injury to your pet. You should still enjoy the beautiful, cold outdoors to provide stimulation. If you have any questions or concerns, visit or call your veterinarian.

Theresa Egli, merchandising manager for The Thrifty Boutique, 301 N. Detroit St., LaGrange, looks out over what’s left of her store’s Christmas merchandise. The thrift store takes gently used items
and resells them, funneling that income to help pay for the work done by the Elijah Haven Crisis Intervention Center and its mission to stop domestic and teen dating violence.
Window displays bring customers flocking to LaGrange thrift store BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com
LAGRANGE — It’s been a good Christmas season at the thrift shop in LaGrange. “Our store is up way up in sales from the same time as last year,” said Theresa Egli, merchandise manager for The Thrifty Boutique, 301 N. Detroit St. The store takes gently used items it receives as donations and resells them in the store. Elijah Haven Crisis Intervention Center of LaGrange created the store to raise money for its mission. This season, Egli turned the front room of the thrift shop into a Christmas wonderland, complete with storefront window holiday display. Apparently, that sort of magic still works. Egli said customers flocked to the store, buying up its Christmas collection. “I think the windows look great,” said Rose Miller, executive director of Elijah Haven. The window displays have been a particular holiday highlight in LaGrange. Egli said more than once, she’s seen cars drive around the block three and four times, always looking toward her store’s front windows, before the driver finally parks his or her car and walks into the store. “Once in the store, people tend to find things they want to buy,” she said. Egli said the shop started the season with “a ton” of holiday items. Once the window displays went up, sales suddenly became brisk. “We’ve sold a lot of merchandise,” Egli said. “ We had a lot of Christmas stuff to begin with, and we started early going through things to get an idea of what to do.” The store’s southern window displays a winter wonderland that includes a small, white tree, shiny silver beads, a host of white lights and a smiling holiday snowman. Egli said the snowman has drawn a lot of customers into the store, all with the same question. “Every day, someone comes in wanting to buy him, but I can’t sell him, he’s part of our display,” Egli said. “I’m really shocked about the response we’ve had to our window displays.” Egli is not a professional merchandiser. She said she simply looks at the items the store has on hand, then gets an idea of what she wants to do. “I’ll just see stuff and get an idea, and start to collect things in a group, I just really feel like I have a gift that God has given me.” All this season, it seemed no sooner did the merchandise hit the floor than it quickly found a new home.

A white fabric-and-wire snowman looks out the window of the The Thrifty Living Boutique on North Detroit Street. The shop has had its busiest Christmas season yet, and the shop managers said the store’s window display brought customers into the store.
“All the Christmas stuff in the store has been flying out the door,” she saidd. “One man came in and bought eight Christmas trees, every one we had. We had tons of ornaments, Christmas lights, little Christmas tsotskes. It’s almost all gone.” The store first opened in early 2012. Its success is critical to Elijah Haven’s mission. All the income raised by the store goes to help fund programs carried out by Elijah Haven. Elijah Haven’s mission is to provide a safe, healing, nurturing environment for all individuals affected by domestic violence and to advocate violence-free living. Elijah Haven is dedicated to ending domestic violence and educating teens about dating violence. Elijah Haven offers a wide range of comprehensive services to people of all ages affected by domestic violence and teen dating violence. The mission is not cheap. It costs up to $50 a day to shelter one adult and one child. Grant money the group receives from the state is quickly spent helping others, so money raised by the store is important. “All the income from the store goes to benefit our programs,” Miller said. Egli said the downside to having such a great holiday season is she has almost no Christmas items left to set aside for next year’s holiday season. “We need more Christmas stuff, because we sold almost all of that we had,” she said.
LAGRANGE — Fifteen brand spanking new, six-week-old pit bull mix puppies are available for adoption this week at the Ark Animal Sanctuary, LaGrange. All 15 pups, including their mother, were rescued last month by a crew from the Ark Animal Sanctuary. Sandra Cochran, adoption coordinator for the shelter, said a woman near South Milford contacted her to report that a “very pregnant” dog had wandered into her yard. Cochran got in contact with the woman and asked if she was willing to keep the dog overnight until someone from the sanctuary could pick up the dog. By the time the shelter workers arrived the next morning, the dog had already given birth to 14 puppies, and puppy number 15 was on his way. After bringing the dog and her litter back the shelter, Cochran said she and the rest of the staff quickly decided to divide the puppies into small groups, and that staff and volunteers would then take on the duties of caring and feeding the newborn dogs. Cochran took six of the puppies home with her, sanctuary director Yancy Painter took three, and a shelter volunteer hand-raised one puppy. “We decided to only leave the mother with five puppies,” Cochran said. “She was all skin and bones.” Cochran has hand-raised puppies before. A few years ago, someone dropped off 6-day-old Lab puppies at the shelter without their mother, and Cochran hand-raised those dogs. Puppies need nearly constant care, and Cochran,

Painter and the shelter volunteer said they were at the mercy of their pups. Newborn dogs nurse every two hours, and then need to be stimulated in order to clear their bladders and bowels. “It seems like you never get to sleep,” Cochran said of the experience. For Painter, hand-raising infant puppies was new, but rewarding. “The stress of making sure the puppies had enough to eat was overwhelming,” Painter said. “A great learning experience, and I got very close to the pups that went everywhere with me for weeks. I am very glad all survived, but I will be glad, too, when they have new homes.” All 15 of the puppies survivied. The black,

Pet of the Week This week’s Ark Animal Sanctuary pet of the week is Jeanie, a 4-month-old female domestic shorthair cat. The staff describes Jeanie as very lovable and said she likes to play hide-and-seek. For those interested in adopting Jeanie, or any of the animals at the Ark’s sanctuary, call 463-4142 for more information.
Adults, said Ryan Ferguson, Cole Center Family YMCA Health and Wellness director. No group classes will be offered between Dec. 20 and Jan. 5. “We are very excited to be a part of the LaGrange community,” Ferguson said. “We have been met with a great response to the group wellness classes and are very pleased to be able to expand those offerings.” People interested in participating can register in person at the YMCA in Kendallville or online at coleymca.net.
History book donated Jean Fremion-McKibben, right, presents the book “The Gospel Trumpet Years,” by Dale Stultz, to Barb Mulholland, president of the LaGrange County Indiana Genealogical Society Inc. The society will donate the book to the genealogy room of the LaGrange County Library. Stultz spent years researching the book on the history of the Church of God and Anderson University’s beginnings. Jospeh Fisher, one of the church’s early founders, is buried at Greenwood Cemetery in LaGrange County. The book is a mixture of history and genealogy.
Sandra Cochran, left and shelter director Yancy Painter tend to a few of the puppies that came into their lives when a South Milford woman reported a pregnant dog wandered onto her property and gave birth to 15 puppies in her barn. Most of the puppies were hand-raised by the staff and are now available for adoption.
black-and-tan, and tan-andwhite puppies are now thriving at the sanctuary and ready to find their “forever homes.” Cochran describes the brindle mother dog as awesome, and said she, too, is ready to be adopted now that she has been spayed. “She can smile, and she’s a very friendly dog who wants to lie on your lap,” Cochran said. “She’s only about 40 pounds, so she was really small to have so many puppies.” All but one of the puppies is now ready to find a new home. Each has had two rounds of puppy shots and each has been carefully socialized. Anyone interested in bringing a new puppy into his or her home may call the Ark animal sanctuary at 463-4142.

INSURANCE: Upgrades have cut site waiting time FROM PAGE B1
estimates call for 3.3 million to sign up by Dec. 31, and the target is 7 million by the end of March. After that, people who fail to buy coverage can face tax penalties. The government’s original deadline already had been pushed back a week because of the technical problems that plagued the website, but hundreds of upgrades to storage capacity and software have cut error rates and wait times. As the Monday deadline drew new, last-minute health insurance shoppers called
help lines and attended enrollment events. More than 1 million people visited the website over the weekend, and a federal call center received more than 200,000 calls. “It’s just nonstop now. Everybody knows about it. Everybody wants it,” said Florida enrollment counselor Madeleine Siegal. She said her organization in Fort Lauderdale was slammed with walk-ins and appointments Friday, had several weekend enrollment events and opened its doors an hour early on Monday. Roger Colyn, 60, of Des
Moines, Iowa, was happy when he left his Monday morning appointment with a state enrollment navigator. She helped him sign up for a “silver” plan that will cost him $10.79 in monthly premiums after government aid is factored in. “I feel relieved,” Colyn said. Others said they will let the date pass without making a decision. “I’m in no hurry, though it’d be nice to be able to visit a doctor without stress,” said Kyle Eichenberger, an uninsured 34-year-old from Oak Park, Ill., who said he
food bank. “A lot of civic groups and churches donate,” said RSVP assistant director Shirley Johnson, ““But when you have more people (in need), those donations don’t go as far.” Johnson said the food bank always needs personal hygiene items and toilet paper — things that cannot be purchased with food stamps. This year the center has seen a drop in the number of coats it received for the Share the Warmth program. “There’s been a big demand, but we haven’t had the sizes,” said Sheppard. In a good year, RSVP has had as many as 1,200 coats to distribute. This year the agency has received between 400 and 500, Sheppard said. This holiday season a new organization, DeKalb County’s Sonshine Seekers, hosted Kids’ Korner at Betz Nursing Home. The event took place Dec. 14, and children were invited to pick out gifts for their parents. There was no cost or income guidelines for those who participated. Organizer Darline Mavis said volunteers had been purchasing items for the program throughout the year. Sonshine Seekers had hoped to provide a Christmas gift-picking experience for at least 100 children. However, a snowstorm cut down those numbers, and 45 children participated. Nevertheless, those youngsters had a great experience, Mavis said. “They just loved it. They had such a wide variety (of gifts) to chose from,” Mavis said. Mavis also credited Betz Nursing Home for its generosity in providing the space for the event. Eaton Corp. in Auburn also provided a generous gift, donating a shopping spree for the DeKalb County community-based matches
in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana program. Employees at the company raised more than $3,000 to sponsor a $100 shopping spree for 26 children in the program on Dec. 17 at the Auburn Walmart store. Kelly Grantham, the DeKalb community development coordinator, said the shopping event was out of ordinary for the agency. “This is very, very rare,” Grantham said. As one of its holiday traditions, Steuben County’s Project Help provides supplies for a Christmas meal. This year 240 families received ingredients for dinners serving approximately 750 people. Director Sheri Frank said that is less than the 740 families who received holiday dinners at Thanksgiving, but she noted many of those families receive help from other agencies at Christmas. Frank praised Miller Poultry of Fremont for its generosity in donating several thousands of pounds of chicken that went into Project Help’s meal packages. Each year, Miller Poultry donates chicken area food banks and pantries. This year, the company gave away more than 160,000 pounds of chicken. “We know how the many food banks are in need and will use this to feed many families not only during the holiday time, but in the weeks following,” said Miller Poultry administrative coordinator Sally Durbin. “It is a blessing to be able to give back to those in need and truly instill those beliefs of giving to our entire employee family.” Miller Poultry owner Galen D. Miller said, “These chicken donations grow out of a religious faith that promotes a culture of sharing blessings and talents.
Our family and team look forward to another year of sharing poultry with those less fortunate both locally and in a several-state area.” Frank said this year she has noticed donors and funders are turning away from paying for consumables and food and are moving toward funding operating costs. That makes it difficult for Frank, especially at this time of year. “I have to look for new funders and grants and pray that the community will come through,” she said. Frank said Christmas adoptions also are down this year. In the past, Steuben County donors had been able to adopt as many as 400 children a year at Christmastime. This year the number of adoptions is, perhaps, half of that, Frank said. However, Frank added, it is never too late to help, “If people didn’t do it this year, please, come back next year,” she added. “This is ongoing need.” The Kendallville Christmas Bureau delivered food, clothing and toys to 162 families on the first Saturday in December. The bureau served 65 fewer families than last year and its director, Anita Hess, credited an improving economy for the drop. The Christmas charity operates as a project of the Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce and focuses on children in the families its serves. Businesses, organizations and individuals adopted 100 of the needy families. The Christmas Bureau’s volunteers shopped for the other 62 families with a budget of $12,000. The Christmas Bureau uses donations that come in after the gift distribution to replenish some of what it has spent and to stockpile on items when they go on sale after the holidays.
Holidays can be rough on heart CHICAGO (AP) — ‘Tis the season — for heart attacks? Not to dampen any spirits, but studies show heart troubles spike this time of year. It’s not just a Western phenomenon; recent research in China found the same thing. The increase includes fatal and nonfatal heart attacks and a less serious condition dubbed “holiday heart syndrome” — an irregular heartbeat caused by too much booze. Reasons for the seasonal increase are uncertain. Theories include cold weather, overindulgence and stress. “The other day we had three heart attacks come in within four hours,” said Dr. Charles Davidson, chief of Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s cardiac catheterization services. The hospital’s usual rate is two or three a week. American Heart Association spokesman Dr. Richard Stein, a cardiologist at New York University’s medical center, said most studies investigating holiday heart trends have found a statistical increase in heart attacks and other problems — not a giant surge but worth noting just the same. It happens in cold climates, sometimes when sedentary people or those with heart disease take on too much snow shoveling, or spend too much time outdoors. Cold weather can constrict arteries, increasing demand on the heart, he said, But it also happens in warm places. Flu season coincides with winter holidays and Stein said that might be a factor since the virus can cause inflammation that also can stress the heart. Stein recommends the usual preventive advice, including flu shots, avoiding excessive eating and drinking, and getting enough exercise throughout the season. David Phillips, a sociologist at the University of California’s San Diego
“The other day we had three heart attacks come in within four hours.” Dr. Charles Davidson Northwestern Memorial
• campus, has long studied when people die. His research, based on millions of death certificates nationwide, shows that cardiac deaths including fatal heart attacks increase almost 5 percent on Christmas Day, the day after and on New Year’s Day. Deaths from other causes also increase at holiday time, but not as much, he has found. Nashville dentist Jason Cabler fell victim last year. After opening presents on Christmas morning with his wife and two teens, Cabler headed downstairs to lift weights in his basement gym when he started to feel a little odd, including tightness in his chest. “I said, ‘I’m just having an off day, I’ll just work through it,’” he recalled. But when his symptoms got worse, he climbed upstairs and asked his son to drive him to the hospital. By then he was feeling nauseous and sweating profusely. Ten minutes later he was in a hospital emergency room. Doctors diagnosed a heart attack and implanted two stents to open blocked artery. Cabler was just 45, had always been healthy and active, so the diagnosis was a surprise. So was learning about the possible seasonal connection. Now he says the stress of running around buying gifts and braving holiday crowds might have been a factor. Doctors also found he had high cholesterol and triglycerides, prescribed medicine and recommended cutting down on fat and sugar.

The Federal Reserve celebrated its 100th birthday at a time of unprecedented global influence on Monday.
Fed at its strongest as it hits 100 WASHINGTON (AP) — The press called it an early Christmas present for President Woodrow Wilson: On Dec. 23, 1913, Congress passed legislation creating the Federal Reserve. Hours later, Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. No one at the White House ceremony that day could foresee what the Fed has become: A titanic institution with power over people and economies worldwide. Its actions shape loan rates and job growth. They affect trade, stock prices, bank rules, financial systems. Economic decisions are made with the Fed in mind. Retirement savings hinge on its policies. “If Woodrow Wilson and the other architects of the Federal Reserve could have known how powerful it would become, they would have been shocked,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University Channel Islands. “There is no part of the global economy today which is not affected by actions of the Federal Reserve.” Supporters of the 1913 bill were responding to a spate of banking panics. Depositor runs were
causing bank failures. Recessions often followed. An especially severe panic struck in 1907. Without a central bank, financier J.P. Morgan had to intervene to save the financial system. Five years ago, when the financial meltdown struck, the Fed expanded its reach. Its response to the worst such crisis since the 1930s was to ease credit, print money and boost confidence. “If you are a central banker with the power to print money and the willingness to use that power, it gets the attention of financial markets,” said David Jones, author of a forthcoming history of the Fed. “The Fed has grown into this colossus which is basically a fourth branch of government.” When the Fed was created, the “discount window” was its main tool. When commercial banks in the Fed system fell short of money, they could borrow from one of 12 regional Fed banks. This became a vital Fed role: Lender of last resort. The discount window gained vast significance during the financial crisis. Hundreds of banks, including some of the
biggest, borrowed from it. The Fed supplied trillions in loans — to U.S. banks and foreign banks with U.S. subsidiaries. That effort, along with a rescue fund approved by Congress, helped save the financial system. But the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law restricted the Fed’s ability to give emergency aid to non-banks like insurance giant American International Group, which got billions. The Fed would now need the Treasury secretary’s approval. And the support couldn’t be directed to a single company. The short-term rate is the Fed’s main lever to influence the economy. It was discovered almost by accident about a decade after the Fed’s creation. The Fed found it could influence short-term rates by buying and selling Treasurys that banks hold as reserves. The Fed was slow to exploit this power during the Depression, when it could have delivered a desperately needed economic jolt. The Fed uses short-term rates to meet its dual mandate: Maximizing employment and stabilizing prices. To lower rates, it creates
money and uses it to buy bonds from banks. The banks can use the reserves to make loans. To raise rates, the Fed does the reverse: It sells Treasurys to banks and takes money out of circulation. Rates rise. The Fed last week strengthened its commitment to low short-term rates. It said it would likely keep its benchmark rate at a record low near zero “well past” the time unemployment falls below 6.5 percent from the current 7 percent. Since the Fed can’t lower its short-term rate below zero, it’s taken other steps to spur growth. Starting in 2009, it’s been buying Treasurys and mortgage bonds in a program never tried before on such a scale. The idea is to lower long-term loan rates to stimulate borrowing and spending. The Fed’s bond buying has swollen its investment portfolio to a record $4 trillion. The purchases have helped keep long-term rates low. But they’ve incited critics who fear the Fed is inflating bubbles in assets from stocks to farmland. Last week, the Fed said it will slow its monthly purchases from $85 billion a month to $75 billion.

GARRETT — On a night when both offenses struggles to consistently knock down shots, the victor in Monday night’s Garrett-Angola contest would be determined by which defense played the best. And it was Garrett’s 2-3 zone that would end up being the difference. Angola only made 31 percent of its shots from the field (13 of 42), and that led to a 44-38 Railroader victory. “Our goal was to not let them get easy stuff off the screenand-rolls,” said Garrett coach John Bodey. “We wanted to play contain, keep them out of the lane and behind the arc. We did a pretty good job of that. They didn’t get to the basket, and really didn’t much going in the post. “It wasn’t a pretty game offensively, but I’m glad our defense came through for us. We found a way to win one when it wasn’t easy.” Angola’s Aaron Lloyd hit five 3-pointers, with Craig Nofziger hitting the other two, as the Hornets (3-3) finished 7 of 18 from downtown. Lloyd and Nofziger were the only Hornets in double figures with 15 and 12 points, respectively. However, Angola coach Ed Bentley thought his team was ‘lackadaisical.’ “We didn’t follow the scouting plan,” Bentley said. “I’m not going to make any excuses. They beat us in every aspect tonight. The last three games, we haven’t shot the ball very well. We came

“We did a good job putting a shell around the 3-point line, and Matt Singleton and Tommy Reneau did a nice job walling up, contesting Davis inside,” Bodey said. Garrett’s (6-1) leading scorer, junior Justin McCoy, had another

Bentley said that McCoy is a different player from last year, and that he’s much tougher to defend. “He didn’t really feel comfortable putting it on the floor last year, and he was kind of a one-dimensional player,” Bentley said. “This year, he can take you off the dribble, he can spin, he’s expanded his game. He’s tough.” With his parents visiting from Italy, Garrett senior foreign exchange student Andrea Rosati earned his first start of the season Monday night.

Blazers down Lakers BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
LAGRANGE — Thick fog Friday caused many area schools to turn to “Monday Night Basketball.” The Eastside Blazers rode a 23-9 fourth quarter wave to a 57-44 win over the Lakeland Lakers in Northeast Corner Conference play. The Blazers (4-2 overall, 1-0 NECC) got 16 points from Ethan Moughler, 14 from P.J. Dean and 10 from Ryan Liechty in the win. Lakeland (2-3, 1-2) hung around all night, despite trailing by seven points on Liechty’s inside score with 3:37 left in the third. The Lakers finished the quarter on a 10-2 run. Tanner Oakley’s putback and later a bucket in the paint had the hosts within 34-33. Dustin Cunningham’s tough-angle shot found the bottom of the net at the buzzer to put Lakeland on top by one after three. The Blazers responded with a 15-1 run in the fourth to seize control.

Team rebounds — Eastside 1, Lakeland 3. Fouled out — Priestley. Total fouls — Eastside 9, Lakeland 14. Turnovers — Eastside 12, Lakeland 21.
Moughler led the charge with the first nine points, including a pair of three-pointers from the right wing sandwiched around a Lakeland miss. The latter gave Eastside a 43-35 cushion. Neither team scored again until Dean’s slash to the basket at the four-minute mark made it 45-35. After
a Lakeland turnover, Dean scored from the lane before Lakeland’s Marco Olivares made 1-of-2 free throws for his team’s first point in nearly five minutes. Eastside’s lead reached 13 on Liechty’s score inside with 2:04 to play. The Lakers wouldn’t quit, however. Chandler Mynhier and Brant Betts canned threes in the next 40 seconds, cutting the visitors’ lead to 51-44. The Blazers sealed it at the free throw line, hitting all six attempts in the final minute of play. “In the second quarter, they went to their 1-2-2 and 1-3-1 trapping schemes, and I didn’t think we handled that real well,” Eastside coach Ryan Abbott said. “It felt like we looked too much to run our offense and be robotic instead of just being basketball players and making basketball plays. “We’ve been working for months about being basketball players, making good plays and learning how to play the game the right way, so I was a little disappointed in that.

“Lakeland made a run late in the third quarter, they hit a couple of late shots, and we responded,” Abbott said. “Ethan got hot, we had some good finishes down lot, and all of those finishes
were the result of good basketball plays that we probably should have done in the second quarter,” he added. “It was nice to finish the game on the road in that way.”
Hannah shares annual holiday message Editor’s Note: This message from Hannah Holstein, first run in 1976, has become a regular part of our Christmas. What better way is there for us to say “Merry Christmas?” It has come to my attention that certain readers out there doubt the actual existence of Hannah Holstein. “Hannah is just a figment of some writer’s imagination,” they say. Or “Hannah is just a literary trick to accord someone the opportunity to write a sports column in the first person. No one has ever seen her, you know.” Well, let me ask you this, folks. If Hannah wasn’t for real, why doesn’t the United States Post Office strike me off the mailing list? I’ll tell you why. Because I receive gobs of mail from faithful followers every year. Furthermore, I answer much of that mail personally, and many folks in the area have copies of my responses to prove it. You know, I have a sneaky hunch that the same people who doubt the reality of Hannah
Holstein also doubt the existence of another famous person who comes into the limelight this time of year. You know who I’m talking about — Mr. Kris Kringle, otherwise known as Santa Claus. Poor Santa. He has done so much for so many for so long, and yet he constantly has to defend his existence against scrooges, “realists,” and beard-pulling children. PICKIN’ I sympathize THE PREPS with you, Santa, because I’m fighting the same Hannah Holstein kind of battle on a different plane. To go a step farther, perhaps these same disbelievers also doubt the existence of another well-know person who comes to the fore at this time. His name is Jesus Christ, and He has been fighting an uphill battle ever since His birth 2,000
•
years ago. That was a landmark occasion, and Hannah is proud to tell you that one of her ancestors was right there to warm that precious Babe in the stable. That was probably the most noble thing any Holstein ever did, and Hannah wishes she could have been the one. But even though I wasn’t there to see or meet the Baby Jesus, that doesn’t stop me from believing in Him just the same. Why? Because Hannah possesses a gift much more valuable than the ability to predict the outcome of sporting events. For you see, faith is not built on logic or factual proof. Faith is built on trust and personal conviction. For Hannah, her faith comes from looking at the world and seeing so much good. Only the Lord Himself could produce such a wonderful place, and that’s good enough to get my vote. And despite all of this, I believe in Him just because He told us that those who believe without seeing will enter that great pasture in the sky.
Now the point behind all of this is that no one has seen Hannah either. I wish I could change that, but the nature of my work makes it impossible. It is essential for Hannah to remain anonymous because a talking cow would attract greedy profit-makers, and Hannah has no intentions of spending the rest of her days in a sideshow. So let me conclude by drawing on the meaning of Christmas to defend the existence of Hannah Holstein. Christmas is a time to renew old friendships, the spirit of giving and the foundations of one’s faith. If one does not believe the Son of God was born at this time 2,000 years ago, Christmas has no meaning. But if one believes without the privilege of personal existence, without seeing, one has everything to celebrate at Christmas. By the same token, if one believes in lowly little Hannah without seeing the Sacred Cow, one can enjoy her columns for what they are — entertainment. Merry Christmas, friends!!

Beams, Eagles top HHS BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com
FREMONT — Alex Beams was on a mission. The Fremont senior struck with 27 points as the Eagles used a dominating 83-44 victory over Hamilton to score the squad’s first win of the season on Monday. “It feels great to get our first win, we ran the floor and did what we needed to do,” said Beams. “Every week we’re getting better at what we do. We’re a young team that’s developing.” The Eagles were 9-of-22 from 3-point range. Beams had four of the triples. “As a team we’re shooting over 40 percent from 3-point range,” said Fremont coach Ted Bookwalter. “It’s definitely our strength and we try to play to our strengths.” Beams also contributed four assists, three steals and three rebounds. “He had 21 points at the half,” Bookwalter said. “They came out and paid a lot of attention to him in the second half.” The Eagles also got 17 points from junior Tyler Meyer. Also scoring for the Eagles were Wade Regadanz (9 points), Tony LaRose (7), Ryan Sichling (4), Justin Papenbrock (4), Austin Roebel (4), Logan Peel (4), Logan Miller (3), Logan Pentecost (2) and Andrew Thomas (2). “For us, we had 11 players score and that’s good for any team,” Bookwalter said. Daine Johnson led Hamilton with 14 points and Casey Rote scored 12 points. “Casey Rote is an outstanding player and capable of amazing things on the court,” Bookwalter said. “Our objective was to keep him under 15. Last year he put 25 points on us, we were very concerned.” Also scoring for the Marines were Addison Stephens (7), Gage Law (6), Trayson Lewis (3) and Reed Steffen (2). Turnovers hurt the Eagles in their first four games, all defeats. Fremont turned the ball over just 12 times on Monday, and that came with a lot of different players on the court. “The main thing was controlling our turnovers, which we did,” Bookwalter said. Fremont put together two runs in the opening half to build a 42-16 margin by the break. “We wanted to get a lead, we’ve been struggling early,” Beams explained. “It was nice to get an early lead and have a cushion to lean on.” Holding a slim 9-8 lead, the Eagles closed the opening period by scoring the final nine points of the stanza, capped by a Beams 3-pointer. The effort allowed Fremont to take its first double-digit lead at 18-8 after one quarter. Beams kicked off another run with another 3-pointer midway through the

second period. Pentecost followed with a steal and Ryan Sichling scored, with Colton Howe then grabbing another Fremont steal and dishing to Beams. Beams would score and also was fouled, and sank a free throw to put the Eagles up 30-12 with three minutes left in the half. The Eagles would also get 3-pointers from Beams and Regadanz before the half, allowing Fremont to lead by 26 points at the break. Meyer had back-to-back 3-pointers for the Eagles early in the third quarter and with just over two minutes left in the period Fremont would take its lead to over 30 points following a triple by Regadanz. Fremont’s margin was 68-37 after three quarters. Fremont (1-4) will once again take part in a holiday tournament in Coldwater, Mich. The Eagles will face Dexter at 3:15 p.m. Friday in opening round play. “We’ve taken the hardware out of there the last three years, but it’s a tall order,” Bookwalter said. If Fremont wins on the opening day against Dexter, the team will move into the championship game on Saturday at 6:45 p.m. If the Eagles lose on Friday, they’ll play in a consolation game at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday. Hamilton (4-4) won’t see action again until Jan. 10 at Westview.
finished with five points, three rebounds, an assist and a block. “There were no issues with the kids. All of them wanted him to start,” Bodey said. “Jared (Estep) wanted that. That’s the kind of kids we have. Maybe a few years ago, my kids would’ve rebelled. But these kids aren’t going to do that.” Kordell Kessler added nine points, Karsten Cooper had seven points and Reneau three points to round out the scoring. While all the of the numbers favored Garrett, it was still a close game throughout. The Railroaders shot out to an 8-0 lead, but the Hornets cut the lead to two in a little over a minute. Garrett re-upped the lead to 17-9 late in the first quarter following two free throws and a bucket from Cooper, and a McCoy 3-pointer. McCoy hit a pair of buckets at the end the second quarter to give GHS a 24-17 lead entering halftime. Angola cut the deficit to one point with 1:43 left in the third following a Nofziger basket, but Garrett proceeded to go on an 11-1 run over the next six-plus minutes to lead 40-29 with 3:40 left. Back-to-back 3s by Nofziger and Lloyd cut the deficit to 40-35 with 1:47 left, but the Hornets drew no closer. Robby Honer added four points to round out the scoring. Only seven Hornets saw the court Friday, and the starting five played nearly the entire game together. “We are struggling to find guys that are going come to practice with consistency every single day and work,” Bentley said.

Angola native eyes repeat Rumble victory FORT WAYNE — Derek Bischak was so young when he first raced in the Rumble in Fort Wayne, he doesn’t recall the exact year. But the 25-year-old Angola native will never forget his most recent appearance. Taking advantage of NASCAR star Tony Stewart’s mechanical misfortune, Bischak raced to victory in the 50-lap midget feature that capped the final night of the 2012 event at the Memorial Coliseum Expo Center. He returns as a defending champion, along with Billy Wease, who won on the opening night a year ago. Bischak and Wease head a 38-driver entry list for the 16th annual “Rumble” on Friday and Saturday. Complete shows are scheduled each day on the 1/6-mile indoor track, with winged and non-winged modified midgets, karts and quarter midgets also on the program. The event has been designated a Salute to Tony Stewart in honor of the injured NASCAR driver. Bischak, who drives for his father, Bob, first raced at Fort Wayne in “1998 or 1999” in quarter midgets. His long-awaited victory was an emotional one.

Angola native Derek Bischak will look to defend his 2012 midget feature championship at the Rumble in Fort Wayne this coming weekend at the Memorial Coliseum Expo Center.
“That was a lot of fun,” he said. “Actually, it was kind of a relief. We were fast on Friday — we were fast qualifier and won our heat — then I got too aggressive (in the feature) and hit the (marker) tire. “It’s nice to come back knowing you have the experience to win it. But there are a lot of fast drivers every year.” Bischak’s Gaerte Ford-powered Spike is the same car he drove last year, save for a change in paint scheme to orange from black. He sees Wease — who charged from last to first for his
victory — and Tony Stewart Racing teammates Mike Fedorcak and Lou Cicconi Jr. as leading contenders, along with veterans Bobby East and Dave Darland. “Really, anybody with a fast car can win it,” Bischak said. That’s especially true with Stewart sidelined by a broken leg suffered in an Aug. 5 sprint car crash. The three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion will oversee his team and sign autographs both days, but he won’t be able to add to his record nine Fort Wayne victories. Wease, a 27-year-old from
Noblesville, has five career indoor victories, including four at Fort Wayne. He heads a three-car entry from Randy Burrow that includes Brian Gerster, the 2013 Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series champion, and young Joey Burrow, the owner’s son. Another driver to keep an eye on is former NASCAR Whelen Modified champion Bobby Santos III, who’ll be driving a car that Darland twice took to victory at Fort Wayne. Defending champions Erick Rudolph and Tim Neal both return in the winged outlaw modified midgets. Some of the cars that competed as winged midgets now are in a new non-winged dirt modified midget division. Bischak is anxious to get back in the cockpit after missing part of the outdoor season because of a trampoline accident that left him with fractures of the nose and face. Luckily for him, he already knew out to sniff out victory lane. Information about tickets, including special VIP packages, and racer’s rate hotels are available online at rumbleseries. com.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Malzahn AP Coach of the Year AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Gus Malzahn inherited a demoralized Auburn team that had just suffered through the program’s worst season in decades with a stagnant offense and bullied defense. Like usual, the coach known for fast-paced offensive play quickly went to work. He led the second-ranked Tigers’ transformation into Southeastern Conference champions and has them in the national title game Jan. 6 against No. 1 Florida State. Malzahn’s quick work made him The Associated Press national coach of the year. “It’s very humbling,” he said Monday. “Any time you get awards like this, it’s a team thing, as far as our staff and our players. It’s been fun to be a part of this year.”
Cowboys not ruling out Romo for season finale with Eagles IRVING, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo limped so badly on one play against Washington, he barely made it to the spot where he had to hand off. The obvious limp was gone by the time the Dallas quarterback moved forward in the pocket and threw a fourth-down touchdown pass to DeMarco Murray that gave Dallas a season-saving 24-23 win over the Redskins. The severity of his back injury is likely to remain a question all week as the Cowboys prepare for their third straight season finale for the NFC East title and a playoff berth, this time against Philadelphia on Sunday night. Responding to reports that Romo wouldn’t play against the Eagles, coach Jason Garrett said Monday the team had “not made that determination at all at this point.” Garrett wouldn’t reveal the results of an MRI for the 33-year-old Romo, who had back surgery to remove a cyst in April and missed offseason workouts. “Obviously he was able to play through it and played very well at the end of that ballgame,” Garrett said. “He’s getting treatment. The MRI was part of the evaluation and there’s going to be a series of different things that we do for his treatment over the next few days and see how he responds to it.” Romo came up limping after tripping over his foot while escaping pressure during the possession before the winning drive. He doubled over in apparent pain but didn’t leave the game, eventually throwing for 140 of his 226 yards passing in the fourth quarter. “I saw him limping around after that first couple of plays after, but I didn’t realize he was that injured,” said tight end Jason Witten, who played in the 2012 season opener 23 days after rupturing his spleen in a preseason game. “Obviously it’s a testament to how he plays and what kind of competitor he is.” Garrett said the Cowboys were working to add a third quarterback behind backup Kyle Orton, who hasn’t started a game since 2011.
Broncos’ Miller out for season ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The season is over for Denver’s Von Miller after tests revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because coach John Fox had not yet addressed the media at his regular Monday news conference. Miller was injured in the first quarter of Denver’s 37-13 win at Houston on Sunday. Miller was pass-rushing when he was blocked cleanly by tight end Ryan Griffin. His right knee buckled and he crumpled to the ground. Miller walked off the field and into the locker room with a team doctor and trainer. Because he didn’t need to be carted off, there was hope that his injury wasn’t season-ending and that he might return for the playoffs. The best case now is that he’s back for training camp after surgery sometime next month. Although the Broncos held the Texans to just one touchdown, they had trouble generating a pass rush without Miller and had to use defensive backs to get after quarterback Matt Schaub, which opened up holes in their secondary. Miller’s injury ended a rough third season for the Broncos star, which began with a six-game drug suspension. He finished with just five sacks in 10 games.
ECU wins Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Vinatavious Cooper rushed for a careerbest 198 yards, setting a Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl record and leading East Carolina to a 37-20 victory over Ohio on Monday. The Pirates (10-3) grabbed the lead for good on the first of Cooper’s two touchdowns runs in the fourth quarter, a 31-yard burst with just under 10 minutes left. East Carolina’s Shane Carden threw for 273 yards and one TD and also scored on a pass reception. Cam Worthy caught an early 5-yard scoring pass from Carden, and then took a lateral from the junior quarterback and threw 14 yards back to Carden for a fourth-quarter TD that made it 31-20. Cooper put it well out of reach, finding an opening off left tackle and racing 22 yards for his second TD. Tyler Tettleton and Derrius Vick threw scoring passes for Ohio (7-6), which overcame an early two-touchdown deficit to lead 20-17 before Cooper put East Carolina back in front before an announced crowd of 20,053 at Tropicana Field.

Our View •
School grades raise many questions Friday’s release of quality grades for Indiana schools shines even more light on the disarray in Indiana’s education system. A large share of local school superintendents don’t trust the grades. That’s especially true this year, when computer problems disrupted testing for many students locally and statewide. But even without the computer foul-ups, education leaders lack confidence in the accuracy of school grades. A glance at some local grades makes it easy to see why. “The wide fluctuation from one year to the next makes it very difficult for us to put a whole lot of value into those particular grades,” said Randy Zimmerly, superintendent of Westview schools. Garrett Middle School provides this year’s prime example of fluctuation. Its grades spell “D-A-D” over the past three years. It’s hard to understand how the quality of a school could change so much from one year to the next. “It is interesting to note that the formula’s design enables a few students to impact a school’s letter grade dramatically,” said Tonya Weaver, an administrator at Garrett-Keyser-Butler schools. Although their grades swing just as sharply, we want to believe that a school can improve from D to A in only one year — which happened at Waterloo and Prairie Heights elementary schools. Even though some administrators brush off school grades, their accuracy matters immensely. We suspect some area principals have been fired in the past due to low grades. Parents may decide where to buy a home or transfer their children because of the grades. State education officials say they’re hard at work revising the grading system, which sounds like an admission that this year’s grades come from a flawed process. For what it’s worth, we spotted some trends in this year’s grades that deserve a closer look. Out of 30 public elementary schools in the four counties of northeast Indiana, exactly half — 15 — received grades of A. Of the 12 public high schools in our four counties, one-third earned A’s. But what happened to the middle schools? Only eight of our school districts have middle schools. Five of them received D’s, with not a single A. How do our middle schools perform so poorly with all those students from A-rated elementary schools? How do those students from D-rated middle schools bounce back to earn A’s for their high schools? We suspect something is wrong with the ratings for middle schools. Private, church-based schools in our counties continue to perform well, with three A’s and one B this year. We have no charter schools in our area, but this year’s grades cast doubt on the wisdom of state leaders’ infatuation with the charter school movement. As we read the report, 70 charter schools across the state received grades this year. The results show 24 F’s, 17 D’s and only 15 A’s. State leaders should be asking some hard questions about what charter schools are doing with our tax dollars. How should parents react to the grades for their children’s schools? We like the advice of Westview’s Zimmerly: “If you really want to know what’s going on in your child’s school, get in there, find out, see what’s going on,” he said. “Don’t allow this external measure to sway your opinion nearly as much as your own personal knowledge and experience with your kid’s school.” OUR VIEW is written on a rotating basis by Grace Housholder, Dave Kurtz, Michael Marturello and Matt Getts.

Letters to The Editor • Give to the one having the birthday To the editor: The exact date of Christ’s birth is unknown. Some scholars believe that it was in the spring when shepherds would be in the fields, but in that ancient time, official dates of birth were not recorded. Early Christians wishing to celebrate this remarkable birth chose a pagan holiday, when others were celebrating, so as to not give notice of their celebration and be objects of persecution. The ancient Romans loved to celebrate. On December 25, they celebrated “Natalis Solis Invicti,” the birthday of the invincible sun god. It was a lavish celebration with parades and parties. It even became a national holiday. It was not until 337 when Constantine was baptized that Christians could safely celebrate the birth of Christ. They just retained December 25 as that date. It is only a fair question to ask: “What does our modern culture really celebrate at Christmas?” Probably we do not worship or celebrate the birthday of a sun god, but the gods of affluence and commerce are very real. Even when we make a token celebration of Christ’s birth, we exchange presents among ourselves instead of gifts to the birthday boy. That in itself is bad manners. Have we resorted back to the worship of gods of luxury and wealth and forgotten the God of love, peace and salvation? Our modern culture might laugh at an invincible sun god, but Santa Claus, flying
reindeer and elves are just as real. Bright lights, a spirit of sharing and tradition can add to a celebration, but this celebration should be more than lights and shopping. If we give gifts, some of those gifts should be to the one having the birthday. Gifts of love, obedience, worship and praise do not require a credit card or cash, but would be most appreciated at this celebration. Anything else is pagan worship.

climb the fence and walk in snow up to their hips, in order to put items on their parents’ grave. Nobody seems to care, but I wonder if someone would care if my mother or my aunt fell and broke a hip, leg, arm, or whatever trying to get back there. Hum …? Would a lawsuit be cheaper? This is one daughter who wouldn’t hesitate in a minute. What does it take to get the job done? I’m hoping, in the near future, that the person in charge of making sure the Calvary Cemetery is plowed has the same experience trying to give their loved ones, who are deceased, some Christmas cheer. Let’s hope the odds are in your favor. Melissa Komrska Fort Wayne

Grandpa has reason why generosity varies DEAR ABBY: I have some advice for “Lacking Why,” the girl in your Oct. 18 column who is wondering why the amount of allowance money Grandpa gives her and her sisters varies from one girl to the other: Stop comparing the amounts and try focusing on how attentive each of you is to your grandfather. Do you all visit him with the same frequency? Do you all write thank-you notes for his generosity? Do you all phone him the same number of times each week? Do you all remember his birthday with a nice card or small gift? Do you take turns baking him a birthday cake? I suspect, as with my grandchildren, there are wide disparities in the way these sisters treat Grandpa. I have two grown grandkids who treat me differently and, son of a gun, I respond in kind. — CONNECTICUT GRANDMA DEAR GRANDMA: Your

explanation is one I received from other readers as well. That letter resonated with a large number of people, and what follows is a sampling of their responses: DEAR ABBY: Financially speaking, I’ll bet there’s a good reason DEAR for the ABBY disparity in the amounts “Lacking” her Jeanne Phillips and sisters receive. If Grandpa intends that each grand-daughter receive the same sum of money by age 18, and he started giving the money to each of them at the same time, he would HAVE to give them different amounts. This concept would be hard

to explain to a child, which may be why the girls were never sure about the “why.” — NUMBERS GUY IN SAN MATEO, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: My father did the same thing. Each year I received more money from my dad than my brothers did. Eventually I asked him why, and it turned out he felt that over the years he had helped them more in other ways. They had lived at home longer than I had, and Dad had paid for their educations while I’d had a scholarship. In his mind, he was trying to even things out. — SOLVED THE PUZZLE IN DENVER DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is the difference between a food allergy and a food intolerance? DEAR READER: They both involve food, but other than that, food allergies and food intolerances have little in common. Food allergies are orchestrated by the body’s immune system. Food intolerance results from the gut’s inability to digest food normally. Food allergies can be fatal; food intolerance causes discomfort but is not usually serious. Food allergies require eliminating all traces of the food from your diet. Food intolerances can be managed without such drastic measures. A food allergy is the immune system’s overreaction to a normally harmless food. The most common foods that people are allergic to are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat

die. One common and effective way to reduce symptoms is enzyme supplementation. Say you’re lactose intolerant. This means you don’t produce enough lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, or milk sugar, into smaller, more easily digestible molecules. Taking a supplement that contains lactase can help you digest the lactose in dairy foods. Probiotics might also help. There’s some evidence that ingesting “gut-friendly” bacteria may help relieve lactose intolerance. However, there’s no standard formulation for probiotics, and finding one that’s right for you can be a hit-or-miss affair.

A Mideast crossroads gets the Christmas spirit DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Just days before Christmas, Ben Elliott-Scott was busy touching up the paint on a foam snowman and blasting trees with manmade flurries to turn them a wintery white. Santa was due to arrive soon, along with dozens of party guests at the exclusive villa nestled alongside a Dubai golf course. His company, Desert Snow, specializes in artificial snow like that used on movie sets. He has several more jobs to finish before the holiday rolls around at wealthy homes across the city, many owned by members of its large and diverse expatriate population. “It is very much our busiest time of year,” the Briton said. “Christmas is taken almost more seriously in Dubai than it is at home. There are as many local families taking the pictures in front of the trees as expats.” The Middle East’s brashest city is increasingly embracing the trappings of Christmas in a way that would be unthinkable in more conservative parts of the Muslim world. Christmas trees adorn shopping centers and residential neighborhoods, and high-end hotels try to outdo one another with extravagant and boozy holiday dinners. An outdoor Christmas festival now in its second
year broke its own attendance record by wooing more than 27,000 visitors over three days with caroling children’s choirs, gingerbread houses and a snow fight zone. Santa Claus is on hand to hear wishes in at least three Dubai malls, naturally including the one housing an indoor ski slope and its contingent of snow penguins. The dearth of chimneys in the sheikdom does not seem to be a problem. It is in many ways a reflection of Dubai’s emergence as a cosmopolitan, commercially minded crossroads in a region often associated with intolerance and upheaval. The city last month became the first in the Middle East to win the right to host the World Expo with a bid that emphasized its connections to the wider world. “Dubai has taken itself one step forward to being a visibly global city. As a global city, you expect these things to happen here,” said Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, professor of political science at Emirates University. “We’ve chosen this role. We have to get used to it.” While celebrations of Christmas have been growing in the United Arab Emirates city for several years, Dubai nonetheless retains its Islamic identity. The call to prayer reverberates five times a day from the city’s numerous mosques, and modest dress
and behavior is expected from locals and foreigners alike. The local population, outnumbered more than four to one by foreign residents, prizes its traditional values. That includes prohibitions on immodest behavior and public intoxication that have gotten several foreigners in legal trouble in recent years. Still, the emirate’s embrace of at least the more commercial aspects of Christmas stands out in the conservative Gulf. Neighboring Saudi Arabia’s strict interpretation of Islam bans celebrations of the holiday. Kuwaiti lawmakers have criticized modest Christmas celebrations in that oil-rich country. David Mitchell, an English engineer working in the Omani capital Muscat, traveled with his family to Dubai just to visit the Christmas festival earlier this month. “There’s nothing like this in Oman,” he said while waiting in line to take his 2 ½-year old son, Isaac, to meet Santa. “They appreciate the Christmas spirit” in Dubai, he added. There has been little public outcry over the increasing prominence of the holiday in the Emirates, where authorities are quick to stamp out displays of public dissent and citizens rarely air their grievances in public. Ismail al-Issawi, a professor of Islam at the University of Sharjah, just

A large Christmas tree with fake snow around it is showcased on a street in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Middle East’s brashest city is increasingly embracing the trappings of Christmas in a way that would be unthinkable in
outside Dubai, said politics and economics play a role. “Dubai now has become an international center with all kinds of religions. So it is up to them to make it possible for the various religions to have their holidays,” he said. The British Embassy in Dubai is using the festive season as a chance to remind its citizens of the UAE’s tough drinking and public decency laws. Its “12 Days of Christmas” awareness campaign on social media
more conservative parts of the Muslim world. Christmas trees adorn shopping centers and residential neighborhoods, and high-end hotels try to outdo one another with extravagant and boozy holiday dinners.
includes tweets such as “On the 5th day of #Christmas my friend said to me; If I have overdone it, please send me home.” “Part of enjoying Christmas and New Year is to stay away from trouble,” said Edward Hobart, the British consul general. Non-Muslims in Dubai are expected to respect the city’s Islamic roots, meaning organizers of Christmas celebrations walk a fine line in how they present the holiday. Nativity scenes and overtly religious
carols celebrating the birth of Christ are rare. But Christmas trees, including one set up in a traffic circle fountain filled with sudsy soap to suggest snow, are in. So are Santa hats, jingle bells and palm trees swaddled in gift wrap-style red bows. One supermarket, apparently trying to appeal to all customers, is advertising: “This Christmas: Fresh halal turkey” — a bird slaughtered according to Islamic dietary law.
