ALBION — The Noble County Health Department Immunization Clinic has come up in the world — one story up. The clinic recently moved to the upper floor of the Noble County Office Complex-South, which is level with the main entrance. It had been on the lower level, directly below its current location on the west end of the building. The change has had little

impact on the clinic itself, but more on the people it serves, said Noble County Health Nurse Cheryl Munson. “The biggest benefit is, people don’t have to go up and down those stairs to get to the clinic any more,” she said. While there is an elevator in the building, it’s at the far end of the space, and it didn’t allow access to the clinic if the Dekko Room in the basement was in use, because people had to pass through it to

reach the clinic from the elevator. Another improvement is the waiting area, Munson said. While the waiting area in the clinic proper is about the same as on the lower floor, the health department has been able to book the upstairs conference room on clinic days to use as an overflow waiting room. Moving the clinic took time, as the Noble County Commissioners sorted out the best locations for several offices, Munson said. The move has been in the works for

Shoppers take aim BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com WITH STAFF REPORTS

KENDALLVILLE — Spinning a wheel and winning a 5, 10 or 15 percent discount on purchases at Atz Furniture was one of the sales promotions Kendallville businesses offered Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year known as “Black Friday.” Customer Cindy West of Wolcottville was in the store at 904 W. North St. Friday morning looking at living room lounge chairs on sale. “I’m looking for a chair for my living room, and I need to find one the right color,” West told Joe Atz. She spun the wheel for a discount in addition to the sales price. Atz Furniture is one of the Kendallville businesses supporting Small Business Saturday today. Bigger retailers such Walmart were open Thanksgiving night for the first time to get a jump on the holiday shopping season that has five fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, because Thanksgiving was late in the calendar this year. Goody’s in Kendallville was open from Thursday at 6 p.m. to Friday at 1 a.m., then opened at 6 a.m. Friday. “Doorbuster” discount prices on certain items such as women’s fashion boots and digital cameras, along with 25-percent-off coupons attracted large numbers of shoppers Thursday night. Friday’s business started slow, but picked up during the day. Rural King in Kendallville also opened Thursday, with shoppers taking advantage of a 25 percent discount on toy purchases and a 10 percent discount on all purchases

two years. The space where the clinic now is located had been the health department’s office space. Those offices now are in other office spaces on the upper floor of the two-story building, Munson said. Changing tables were added in both the men’s and women’s upstairs restrooms as part of the move, Munson said. Shot clinics are offered every Wednesday from 8:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Munson said.

Two-day marathon now starts madness BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fayette, Ohio. The women, along with a friend from Sheboygan, Wis., make the trek to Steuben County each Black Friday for their annual routine. They start at The Outlet Shoppes at Fremont, then head south to Angola to hit the big box stores. The event is capped off with lunch and margaritas at Applebee’s.

The holiday shopping season started as a marathon, not a sprint. More than a dozen major U.S. retailers stayed open for 24 hours or more on Thanksgiving Day through Black Friday, and crowds formed early and often over the two days. About 15,000 people waited for the flagship Macy’s in New York to open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Long checkout lines formed at the Target in Colma, Calif., on Friday morning. And by the time Jessica Astalos was leaving North Point Mall in Alpharetta, Ga., after a six-hour buying binge that started on Thanksgiving, another wave of shoppers was coming in about 5:30 a.m. on Friday. “You just have to be out in the midst of all of it,” said Ricki Moss, who hit stores near Portland, Ore., at 5:30 a.m. on Friday. “It’s exciting.” This year may cement the transformation of the start of the holiday shopping season into a two-day affair. For nearly a decade, Black Friday had been the official start of the shopping season between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was originally named Black Friday because it was when retailers turned a profit, or moved out of

New displays to add to windmills’ glow BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Several new lighted displays will be featured in the annual Mid-America Windmill Museum Windmill Winter Wonderland opening Friday. The walk-through spectacle has thousands of Christmas lights among its historic, restored windmills, animated displays and holiday music at the museum at 732 Allen Chapel Road (C.R. 1000E) on Kendallville’s east side. The display continues Saturday and Sunday, then Dec. 13-15, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Admission costs $3, with children 12 and under admitted free. Volunteers have worked hundreds of hours to make the magical glow of lights, said Pam Younce, a museum board member, who helps coordinate the event. “There’s nothing that warms the hearts of us more than to see the kids escorted by moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas smiling their approval as they walk around the grounds,” Younce said. The display is so extensive, Younce prepares a detailed map to locate the individual displays and hundreds of feet of wiring. Visitors should stay on the paths, with luminaries guiding the way. The Independent Full Gospel Church from Ashley will present a live nativity scene on two Saturdays, Dec. 7 and 14. Santa Claus will be in Baker Hall on the museum grounds every evening to greet children and give them a free gift bag. Visitors

TWO-DAY: Black Friday spills into Thanksgiving

the red and into the black. Retailers opened early and offered deep discounts. But in the past few years, store chains have been opening on Thanksgiving. This year, several welcomed shoppers for the first time on Thanksgiving night, while Gap Inc., which owns Banana Republic, Gap and Old Navy, opened half its stores earlier on the holiday. Walmart stores, most of which stay open 24 hours, has for the past several years offered doorbusters that had been reserved for Black Friday. And Kmart planned to stay open 41 hours starting at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving. That has led some to question how much further Black Friday will creep into Thanksgiving, which along with Christmas is one of only two days a year that most stores are closed. “Black Friday is now Gray Friday,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. The earlier openings have

met with some resistance. Workers’ rights groups and some shoppers had planned protests on Thanksgiving and Black Friday to decry the way some store employees were forced to miss holiday meals at home. But as of Thursday afternoon, there were no reports of widespread

protests. Judy Espey ducked out of a Thanksgiving family dinner to buy a 50-inch flat-screen TV at Walmart near Clifton Park, N.Y., for $288. But “I don’t really dig the Thanksgiving night thing,” she confessed. “I feel bad for the workers.”

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan apologized to President Hamid Karzai for a drone strike that killed a child and NATO promised an investigation Friday as rising tensions threatened efforts to persuade the Afghan leader to sign a long-delayed security agreement. Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford called Karzai late Thursday to express “deep regrets for the incident and any civilian casualties,” the commander’s spokesman said. Karzai condemned the attack, which also wounded two women earlier Thursday, and said all airstrikes and foreign raids on Afghan homes must stop if the United States expects him to sign the pact that would allow thousands of Americans to stay in the country beyond a 2014 withdrawal deadline. “This attack shows that American forces do not respect the safety of the Afghan people in their homes,” Karzai said in a Dari-language statement on his website. The two governments have agreed on a draft bilateral security agreement and it was approved by a consultative Afghan council known as a Loya Jirga. But Karzai shocked the assembly and the Americans when he

announced he would not sign the deal but would instead leave that up to his successor following April 5 elections. The 2,500-member Loya Jirga had also demanded it be signed by the end of next month. The Obama administration has been trying to persuade Karzai to change his mind and sign the deal by the end of the year in order to allow enough time to make preparations for a continuing presence after the

NATO and U.N. mandates for foreign troops in the country expires at the end of next year. In the phone call, Dunford talked to Karzai directly and “expressed deep regrets for the incident and any civilian casualties assured Karzai that an investigation would be conducted into Thursday’s airstrike, which the Afghan president said was carried out by a drone in southern Helmand province. “He talked to President Karzai directly, expressed deep regrets for the incident and any civilian casualties, and promised to convene an immediate joint investigation to determine all the facts of what happened,” Dunford’s spokesman Col. David Lapan said in an email. The coalition, known as the International Security Assistance Force, said the airstrike had killed an insurgent on a motorbike in Helmand and also promised to investigate Karzai’s claims that it also killed a child and injured two women. Civilian deaths at the hands of U.S. and allied soldiers have been one of the main sources of contention in increasingly tense relations with Karzai over the years, although such killings have fallen off sharply in recent years following stricter NATO guidelines.

Puppy found under rubble from tornado WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) — A 6-month-old pit bull that was buried under a pile of rubble for more than a week after a tornado ripped through a central Illinois city has been coaxed to freedom with hot dogs and reunited with his owner. Jacob Montgomery, a member of the Illinois National Guard, was separated from the dog, Dexter, when the Nov. 17 tornado destroyed his third-floor apartment in Washington. Montgomery combed through the wreckage multiple times but turned up no sign of Dexter. Nine days after the storm, a neighbor who was looking for his cat, also missing, with the help of a group called Rescuing Animals in Need sent Montgomery a Facebook message to tell him Dexter had been found partially buried in debris where the apartment building used to stand.

Thankful for property Had today’s politicians and opinionmakers been in power four centuries ago, Americans might celebrate “Starvation Day,” not Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims started out with communal property rules. When they first settled at Plymouth, they were told: “Share everything, share the work, and we’ll share the harvest.” The colony’s contract said their new settlement was to be a “common.” Everyone was to receive necessities out of the common stock. There was to be little individual property. That wasn’t the only thing about the Plymouth Colony that sounds like it was from Karl Marx: Its labor was to be organized according to the different capabilities of the settlers. People produce according to JOHN would their abilities and consume to their needs. STOSSEL according That sure sounds fair. They nearly starved and created what economists call the “tragedy of the commons.” If people can access the same stuff by working less, they will. Plymouth settlers faked illness instead of working the common property. The harvest was meager, and for two years, there was famine. But then, after the colony’s Some communal central governor, planning is helpful, but William too much is dangerous. Bradford, wrote that they should “set corn every man for his own particular,” they dropped the commons idea. He assigned to every family a parcel of land to treat as its own. The results were dramatic. Much more corn was planted. Instead of famine, there was plenty. Thanks to private property, they got food — and thanks to it, we have food today. This doesn’t mean Pilgrims themselves saw the broader economic implications of what they’d been through. “I don’t think they were celebrating Thanksgiving because they’d realized that capitalism works and communal property is a failure,” says economist Russ Roberts. “I think they were just happy to be alive.” I wish people understood. This idea that happiness and equality lie in banding together and doing things as a commune is appealing. It’s the principle behind the Soviet Union, Medicare, the Vietnam War, Obamacare and so on. Some communal central planning is helpful, but too much is dangerous. The Pilgrims weren’t the first settlers on the East Coast of the New World to make this mistake. Just a few years before, the colony of Jamestown was almost wiped out by the same idea. Historian Edmund S. Morgan, in “American Slavery, American Freedom: The Ordeal of Colonial Virginia,” describes what happened in 1609-1610: “There are 500 people in the colony now. And they are starving. They scour the woods listlessly for nuts, roots and berries. And they offer the only authentic examples of cannibalism witnessed in Virginia. One provident man chops up his wife and salts down the pieces. Others dig up graves to eat the corpses. By spring only sixty are left alive.” After that season, the colony was abandoned for years. The lesson that a commons is often undesirable is all around us. What image comes to mind if I write “public toilet”? Consider traffic congestion and poor upkeep of many publicly owned roads. But most people don’t understand that the solution is private property. When natural resources, such as fish and trees, dwindle, the first impulse is to say, “Stop capitalism. Make those things public property.” But they already are public — that’s the problem. If no one owns the fishing rights to a given part of the ocean — or the exclusive, long-term logging rights to part of the forest — people have an incentive to get there first and take all they can before the next guy does. Resources are overused instead of conserved. We don’t maintain others’ property the way we maintain our own. Colonists in Plymouth nearly starved because they didn’t understand that. In Jamestown, some were driven to cannibalism. But no one starves when ranchers are allowed to own land and cattle. Or turkeys. Private ownership does good things. Be thankful for it.

Thanksgiving takes us to a sunny locale The pilot tells us the ride may be bumpy so we buckle up a little tighter. Matthew, Jonah and I are sitting in the last row of the aircraft where it is already a little bumpy. “A bit like a roller coaster,” I say to the boys. We are on our way to Thanksgiving in Arizona with Abe and Kristin. We arrive in time for supper and the girls are so excited they cannot eat. We talk and visit about the week and the practical aspects of a large noisy family taking over Abe’s headquarters! One by one the children fall victim to sleep … Brianna, Holly, Jonah and then Matthew. The adults find our way as well. I sleep in the play room on the pull-out couch. I always get this room and I love it with deep windows and shutters. I open the shutters and fall asleep under the Arizona sky where the stars look like diamonds. One by one the rest of the family trickles in. Aaron and Karen fly in from Canada and Adam comes in from Tampa. Finally we are here and we are together. Abe and Kristin have planned for weeks for the Homan invasion. We are not just here for Thanksgiving but for seven days. I think they must have spent much time talking about it as Holly runs around singing about seven days! The refrigerators and pantry shelves are bursting with food and supplies. Abe’s new project, the office and man-cave (what is up with the man-cave crave?) is not quite done, but enough so that there is a pool table, ping pong table and karaoke machine ready to go. It is large enough that the boys can run Abe’s remote control trucks around on the

floor. It is too cool for swimming except for the boys who travel from the pool to hot tub and back to the pool. The girls and I spend lots of time in the kitchen, which is in the center of the house. We talk and visit and cook and wash dishes and then do it all over again. It is Kristin’s first Thanksgiving turkey. She has all the equipment ready. I peer into her turkey making kit. It looks like a cooking show. It gives me a idea to do a Julia Child LOU ANN great video. Karen films the video HOMAN- while I am making pumpkin SAYLOR pies. We laugh so hard we cannot speak. I post it on YouTube thinking it will go viral by Thanksgiving Day! Dinner arrives and we hold hands for the blessing. Blood to blood. Hand to hand. We applaud the turkey and all the other side dishes knowing how blessed we are being here together. Kristin’s turkey is perfect. I remember my own first turkey leaving the bag of giblets inside. I was horrified when it was pulled out at the dinner table. Dishes, stories, football, games and the day is over. We switch beds and bedrooms carrying our own backpacks and toothbrushes back and forth. It is a combination of camp and “The Waltons.” I want to say “Good Night, John Boy,” as I find my way to my own room.

•

Morning comes and Abe picks oranges from his tree. Matthew is up early helping Abe carry in the oranges in. The juice is delicious and is gone within an hour along with dozens of pancakes and bacon by the package! We eat quickly and head out to Black Friday somewhere in Arizona. I travel along for the field trip picking up a trinket here and there. Today we are heading up to Sedona for a day of hiking and small business shopping in the small towns along the way. With seven days there are still campfires outside, pool tournaments, games late into the night and leftovers! We are all grateful for Abe and Kristin’s hospitality. (“How many more days,” they whisper at night?) It is different being in Arizona for Thanksgiving. I know I missed the lighting of the greens and the sweetness of my old town. Don’t forget the small business shopping in our own town today. These businesses are the backbone of our economy. Adventures and journeys are the fabric of my life, and I am living another one right now in Arizona. Take care small town, I’ll be home soon. In the meantime, there are mountain sunrises, fresh orange juice for breakfast and family … always family. LOU ANN HOMAN-SAYLOR lives in Angola at the White Picket Gardens where you can find her gardening or writing late into the night under the light of her frayed scarlet lamp. She is a storyteller, teacher, writer, actress and a collector of front porch stories.

Or Hitler to denote our impression of bad? Surely it is a rhetorical natural disasters, though significantly more crime to turn someone so evil into a cliche. people died in Katrina than in Sandy. Iraq

We’ve heard news people and others compare Obamacare to Katrina and Iraq. Sarah Palin compared our national debt to slavery.

• From a purely political perspective, the impulse may be driven by the desire to remind people of the past transgressions of political foes. Thus, when commentators say Obamacare is like Katrina, the mind flits from Barack Obama to George W. Bush and only the differences, rather than the single similarity of administrative incompetence, register: People died in Katrina and President Obama only wants to help people. Through subliminal jujitsu, the real comparison lands in the community psyche. Conversely, as Salon political writer Brian Beutler suggested during a recent conversation, even Republicans may see benefits to this comparison in that it neutralizes the ongoing, negative liability of Katrina for the GOP. But then the cycle continues into absurdity. If Obamacare collapses and Republicans present Americans with Ryancare, we likely can expect Democrats to characterize every glitch as the GOP’s Katrina II. To the most important point, comparing a horrific tragedy or atrocity to any thing else trivializes and diminishes it. By trying to capture, quantify and categorize others’ suffering, we trespass on the sacred. Some things are like nothing else — and should be left to rest in peace.

Egyptian forces try to subdue Islamistsâ€™ protests CAIRO (AP) â€” Egyptian security forces firing tear gas and water cannons on Friday broke up anti-government demonstrations by Islamists defying a draconian new law restricting protests. Authorities are seeking to put down unrest by both Islamists and secular activists as a government-appointed assembly tries to finish a final draft on an amended constitution by early next week. The draft has raised criticism from democracy advocates for increasing powers of the military and president. Since a popularly backed military coup ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July,

his supporters have been staging near-daily protests calling for his reinstatement. The rallies have often descended into street clashes with security forces or civilians. To quash pro-Morsi rallies, which have persisted despite a heavy security crackdown, the militarybacked government issued the law Sunday banning protests without a police permit. On Thursday, a student was killed when police put down a march by Islamists from Cairo University. Instead, the law has sparked new protests by Egyptâ€™s secular activists, who had been largely muted since the ouster of Morsi.

They accuse the government of giving free rein to police abuses and military power that they had aimed to end with the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. They say the law aims to silence all dissent â€” particularly ahead of a nationwide referendum on the amended constitution expected in January. The past week, security forces have forcefully broken up several protests by secular activists in Cairo. Police also arrested one of the top secular activists, Alaa Abdel-Fattah, on Thursday for allegedly inciting protests in violation of the law. His wife, Manal Bahy Eldin, also an activist,

said police beat her during the arrest. On Friday, prosecutors ordered Abdel-Fattah detained for four days for investigation, according to Mohammed Abdel Aziz, a member of his legal defense team. A 50-member panel is amending the Morsi-era constitution drafted mainly by Islamists and passed in December. After months of sessions, largely held behind closed doors, the panel is scheduled to vote on a final draft Saturday â€” but one member, liberal political Mohammed Aboul-Ghar said it may be delayed until Sunday as final controversial articles are worked out.

Hundreds of Islamist demonstrators outside of Qobba Palace in Egypt chant slogans defying a new protest law that has drawn widespread criticism from the international community and democracy advocates.

The panel is supposed to finish its work by Tuesday, under a declaration issued

by interim President Adly Mansour soon after the July 3 coup.

WASHINGTON (AP) â€” The Obama administration is aggressively pursuing lawsuits over minority voting rights in Texas and North Carolina, but the Justice Department has not moved on evidence that the latest round of redistricting in Los Angeles County unfairly reduces the influence of Latino voters. Nearly half the 10 million people in the nationâ€™s largest county are Latino. But political boundaries redrawn in 2011 make it possible for Latino voters to elect just one of the five supervisors.

The administration has resisted calls to sue the county, despite the countyâ€™s history of discrimination against Latino voters in earlier redistricting efforts. The inaction rankles some Latino activists who count themselves as strong backers of President Barack Obama. â€œI support the Obama administration and the president, but frankly, Obama and the top people around him seem to be unaware on this issue. Obama is somewhat blind to the issues of Latinos,â€? said Cruz Reynoso, a

former California Supreme Court justice and member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Reynoso said the administration seems more attuned to voting rights complaints of African-Americans. He said the administration also appears reluctant to pursue a complaint against a jurisdiction that is dominated by Democrats. â€œMost of the folk in Los Angeles have been supporters of the president, so why make them unhappy despite the fact that, from my point of view, there is great injustice going on,â€? he said.

Peterson leads West Noble back Strong second half keys victory Rhonehouse and White, the Eagles got four points each from Mercedes Lyon and Melissa Beer, along with two points from Kayla Stroop. Along with Peterson’s 18 points, the Chargers got six points each from Lexi Shepherd and Becca Schermerhorn, five from Taylor Fisher, four from Shawna Young and two from Sammy Coates. “We’re 3-2 now and think we’re going the right direction,” Marano said. The contest saw five lead changes and was tied five times in the early going before Fremont’s Rhonehouse scored on a drive to the basket to begin an 8-0 Fremont run. White followed with the next two buckets and Fremont would lead 15-11 after one quarter. The Eagles used strong play inside from White and Lyon to go up 23-15 three minutes into the second period and led by as much as nine in the quarter. Peterson closed the half with a West Noble 3-pointer to cut into the margin, but the Chargers still trailed 28-22 at the break. The Eagles maintained a 34-27 lead midway through the third period. But White was whistled for her fourth foul and went to the bench. The Eagles would go scoreless the rest of the third period, with Peterson taking over for West Noble.

West Noble’s Kelsie Peterson goes to the hoop during Friday’s game at Fremont. Peterson finished with 18 points and led a second-half rally as West Noble recorded a 45-38 win.

FREMONT — Where Kelsie Peterson leads, her teammates follow. The West Noble senior scored a game-high 18 points — 12 of those in a pivotal second half effort — as the Chargers rallied to beat Fremont 45-38 on Friday. “Kelsie is outstanding, she’s playing at a different level,” said West Noble coach Dale Marano. “When she gives effort like that, the rest of the team follows.” West Noble trailed 28-22 at the half, but used a strong defensive effort to hold Fremont to just 10 points in the second half. “It was a focus, shutting down their key players and getting them in foul trouble,” Peterson said. Fremont had two players foul out, Miranda White and Shae Rhonehouse. White finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds. She scored 10 of her 12 points in the first half. “We attacked the basket,” Marano explained. “It was a great team effort, Fremont is a very solid team.” Rhonehouse led Fremont with 16 points and 12 rebounds. “This is our first loss, we’re 3-1, so we’ve done pretty well,” said Fremont coach Neal Frantz. “Tonight we played a decent first half, but we have to get better at finishing games.” Besides the scoring from

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Westview coach Randy Yoder had a friend in senior Brooke Yoder on Friday against Prairie Heights. Brooke Yoder was part of a strong start out of the gate for the Warriors, who went on to defeat the Panthers, 60-41, in a Northeast Corner Conference contest. Yoder hit back-to-back 3-pointers two minutes in to help fuel a 10-0 Westview run. Yoder finished the night with 21 points, with those two treys being the only long-distance shots she sank. She had a field goal later in the first and tallied 13 points in the first half against the Panther man-to-man defense. “Brooke hit a few early threes, and as a coach that is a great friend to have,” Randy Yoder said. “I was really pleased with the energy level we came out with and the focus. On the defensive end of the floor, we were moving really well and communicating.” Heights looked offbeat against the Westview defense with Maria McCoy (6-1) and Grace Hales (5-11) roaming the perimeter. When the Panthers went inside, they were often met with the one who was not guarding senior Tressa Terry at the time. This pushed the team to take quick shots, but also forced six turnovers compared to 10 shots in the first quarter. Prairie Heights coach Jennifer Holden said part of the Panthers’

on us early in the game and that didn’t help out. I was proud of (her team); they bounced back in the later quarters.” Prairie Heights (2-3, 1-2 NECC) started to put things together in the fourth quarter, but the score was at a 32-point margin. Carbone found her stroke with eight of her team-best 19 points in the frame. Of those eight points, six came from aggressive plays where she drove to the basket and was fouled while taking a shot.

ANGOLA — The girls basketball co-leaders of the Northeast Corner Conference got together Friday night at Central Gym when defending champion Angola faced off with upstart Lakeland. It was another game for the Lakers early in the season where they would see where they wound up with a successful program, and they eventually figured out they could compete with the Hornets. But Angola got the upper hand early and made it hold up in a 47-36 victory. The Hornets hit seven three-pointers in taking a 25-10 halftime lead. Claire Grubb, Abby Buchs and Becca Buchs hit two triples apiece and Katie Lopshire had the other three-pointer. Angola (3-3, 3-0 NECC) led 12-5 after one quarter, then built upon its lead with an 8-1 spurt to start the second stanza. “They hit some shots and missed six or seven puppies early,” Lakers coach Sheila Moore said. “We make some of those, that changes the game.”

Pacers top Wizards, move to 15-1 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George scored 23 points and Roy Hibbert added 13 and eight rebounds to lead Indiana past injury-hampered Washington. The Pacers won their sixth straight and extended their best start in franchise history to 15-1. Lance Stephenson flirted with his third triple-double before departing late and had seven points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Indiana, which shot 44 percent and forced 18 turnovers while limiting Washington to 40 percent shooting. The Wizards (7-9) trailed by as many as 25 in the fourth quarter and lost their 11th straight game in Indianapolis. Star point guard John Wall struggled badly, rarely attacked the rim and finished with eight points on 4-of-14 shooting. Rockets 114, Nets 95 Chandler Parsons scored 21 points, making six 3-pointers, and Houston easily picked up its fourth straight win by beating Brooklyn. The Rockets led by 26 points at halftime and Brooklyn coach

Jason Kidd benched all his starters except Brook Lopez for the entire second half. Houston made 19 3-pointers, led by a perfect 6-of-6 effort from Parsons, who scored all his points in the first three quarters. James Harden scored nine points with seven assists for the Rockets in his return after missing three games with a sore left foot. Lopez was also back after sitting out the last six games with a sprained left ankle. He started in place of Kevin Garnett and scored 16 points in about 21 minutes. Hawks 88, Mavericks 87 Al Horford made the go-ahead shot with 4.2 seconds left and Atlanta rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half to beat Dallas. Jeff Teague scored 25 points for the Hawks, while Horford finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Mavericks were up 70-55 when point guard Jose Calderon went out late in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle. He

was taken for X-rays and did not return. Without Calderon running the offense, Dallas totally bogged down. Rookie guard Shane Larkin had a miserable night, going 0 for 4 from the field and turning it over four times. The Mavericks hit just 38 percent, with Vince Carter missing badly on the final shot of the game. Lakers 106, Pistons 102 Wesley Johnson scored 27 points, and Jordan Farmar led a fourth-quarter rally by Los Angeles, which overcame a 10-point deficit to beat Detroit. Dominated around the basket for most of the night, the Lakers held on when Detroit’s Josh Smith drove into traffic and was called for an offensive foul with 2.7 seconds left and the Pistons down two. Nick Young made two free throws at the other end to put the game away. Shawne Williams finished with 20 points for the Lakers. Farmar and Pau Gasol had 13 each. Rodney Stuckey led the Pistons

with 22 points, and Smith had eight points, 19 rebounds and eight assists. Detroit attempted 100 field goals, 20 more than the Lakers, and the Pistons had 22 offensive rebounds. Their 76 points in the paint set an NBA season high — but only eight of them came in the fourth quarter. Pelicans 121, 76ers 105 Jrue Holiday had 20 points and 13 assists in his first game as a visiting player against his former team, leading New Orleans over Philadelphia. Eric Gordon scored 26 points and Holiday added seven rebounds as the Pelicans (7-8) snapped a four-game road skid. Holiday, an All-Star last season for the Sixers, was sent to New Orleans in a summer trade that netted Philadelphia No. 6 overall pick Nerlens Noel and a future first-rounder. Tony Wroten scored 24 points on 9-for-13 shooting off the bench, and Spencer Hawes contributed 12 points and nine boards for Philadelphia. Wroten (lower back)

and Hawes (knee) both played for the first time in three games, but the 76ers lost for the ninth time in their last 11. Spurs 109, Magic 91 Tim Duncan scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half, Marco Belinelli also had 19 points, and San Antonio beat Orlando. San Antonio scored 17 straight points in the second quarter, turning a one-point edge into a 58-40 lead, and was able to rest Duncan for much of the second half while Orlando couldn’t slice the deficit into single digits. Both teams were playing without starting guards. The Spurs were without Tony Parker, who had a sprained ankle, and Orlando’s Jameer Nelson was nursing a sprained foot. Both injuries were sustained in games Wednesday night. Arron Afflalo scored 17 points for Orlando, who now heads for a six-game, 12-day road trip. The Magic don’t have another home game until Dec. 13.

LAKERS: Lakeland suffers first NECC loss CHARGERS: West Noble JV scores win FROM PAGE B1

“We were also a little tentative defensively. We were totally different in the second half.” Lakeland (4-2, 2-1) also dealt with foul trouble early, but never gave up and put the Hornets back on their heels in the second half. The Lakers rallied from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter with eight straight points. Ashtin Kaminer’s layup off her own steal in the backcourt made it a 40-33 game with 3 minutes, 15 seconds left. The Hornets made enough free throws and Claire Grubb scored nine of her 17 game-high points in the fourth quarter to keep Lakeland away and end its winning streak at four games. “She basically won that game for us,” Angola coach John Berger said of Grubb. “That’s experience for us. But we have to learn how to close games better. “It’s a credit to Lakeland. They pressed us and were

physical with us and we didn’t respond in the second half. We’re still young and we haven’t taken the steps we needed to take at the point. We have to put two halves together and we need to get tougher mentally and physically.

“I was impressed with the way Lakeland played going back to last year when they cut our 40-point lead down to around 20. They continue to fight. She (Moore) is doing a terrific job teaching them how to play hard and that’s half the battle. They’re going to win more ball games.” More small positive steps were taken despite the loss, according to Moore. “You never want to be satisfied with a loss. But where we have come from, this is big for us mentally,” she said. “People are starting to take notice of Lakeland. People are starting to scout us. That’s a compliment to us.” Junior forward Abi Thompson had 13 points and four rebounds for the Lakers. Kaminer had 12 points, seven rebounds and three steals. Abby Buchs added 13 points, four assists and three rebounds for the Hornets, who made 9-of-17 three-point shots.

“The shots weren’t falling in the first half, but we stayed positive,” Peterson said. The senior grabbed a steal and dished to Shepherd for a score, followed with a 3-pointer, then grabbed another steal and scored with 1:53 left in the period to tie the game at 34-all. Peterson hit a short jumper to close the quarter, putting the Chargers up 36-34 and West Noble capitalized with buckets by Shepherd and Peterson to close a 13-0 run as the final period got under way.

Fremont regrouped to pull within a point midway through the fourth quarter. But White fouled out and the Eagles went scoreless the final three minutes as West Noble wrapped up the win. “That was a big win,” Peterson said. “We just want to keep going with it.” The Chargers return to action Tuesday at home against Wawasee, then face Eastside in another NECC contest on Dec. 7. Fremont will have a busy month of December, with eight games on the schedule. The Eagles are at home

WARRIORS: Westview goes back on the road FROM PAGE B1

Carbone, who Yoder said is a “rebounding machine,” also had 12 boards and a steal. Yoder had the Warriors work on rebounding throughout the week in preparation of facing Carbone. In the team’s lone loss, Westview was out-rebounded by Goshen. Rebounds went the other way Friday night with the Warriors winning the stat 35-27. “With (Goshen) being a non-conference game, I felt if we got through it with a loss and learned from it, I would be OK with it. I thought that after the loss, as a coach, it forced me to work

on some things we didn’t think about,” Yoder said. Westview (3-1, 1-0 NECC) will continue a streak of five-straight road contests with Northridge on Tuesday. The Panthers play this afternoon at Wawasee as a start to a four-game road stretch. Westview JV 47, Prairie Heights 27 Westview received a huge game from Kaitlin Warren as she scored 20 points in the Warrior victory. Taylor Eash pitched in six and Taryn Pruitt had five. Heights was led by Rene Lewis’s 10 points, followed by five from Madison Blum and four from Terris Elkins.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — DaVonte Lacy scored 16 points, Royce Woolridge had 14, and Washington State beat Purdue 69-54 in the Old Spice Classic consolation round on Friday. The Cougars (3-3) also got 13 points from Jordan Railey in stopping a three-game losing streak. Terone Johnson had 16 points for Purdue (5-2), which was coming off a 97-87 loss Thursday to No. 5 Oklahoma State in which the Boilermakers rallied from a 24-point deficit to get within four with 3:16 to play. Purdue coach Matt Painter met with his players for about an hour after the game in the locker room. “At halftime, we talked about playing like we were 10 down instead of 10 up,” said Painter.

Urban agriculture: Fad or necessity? While I grew up on a farm growing my own food, and continue to do so today, many urbanites are just starting to get in on this “green” way of connecting with their food source. Kristin McArdle, urban planner and ELYSIA contributing author to the RODGERS Huffington Post, “Food for Thought,” wrote this article this week that got me thinking about this growth in urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is at the forefront of the eat local, locavore and agrarian movement. This is an exciting time, which may mark the greatest popular interest in farming, food production and policy in the United States. An age that some have coined a period of great downshifting or “voluntary simplicity” where more and more young rural and urban inhabitants alike want to return to the land and start producing food. Urban agriculture offers an opportunity for those urbanites who want to do so, get their hands dirty, volunteer in a community garden, raise some hens for eggs but aren’t quite ready yet to abandon the creature comforts of the metropolis (or their urban salaries) and move to a farm in the sticks. This may be a convenient way for people to get their

feet wet in the agricultural world, but does it offer a viable solution to the problems associated with our food production and distributions systems? Many people in the urban agriculture community (myself included) would answer a resounding collective “Yes!” We must focus on systems and methods of producing food in our urban environment and at the forefront of that conversation should be technology adoption and policy changes to start producing more food on the abundant available space of our cities’ rooftops. In the past decade in the United States there has been a rapid rise in implementation of rooftop farming in New York, Chicago and Portland more so than anywhere else. Surprisingly, it has been slow to catch on in some cities across the U.S., specifically San Francisco. It is shocking that this wave has not caught on in one of the most progressive and food-centric cities in the United States. The San Francisco Policy and Urban Research (SPUR) organization recently published a report to understand this phenomena. The report outlined the current political and policy landscape in San Francisco that may be thwarting the development of said projects. Further, the report made policy recommendations that could be adopted and used as a template for effective municipal green roof policy at the national level. So, if public policy isn’t behind this movement,

what is the case for local San Francisco and further, national policy changes to create incentives for realizing the benefits of urban rooftop agriculture, and why does this matter? The case has been clearly outlined and articulated by climate change and agricultural experts; the confluence of climate change impacts, population growth, land use changes (specifically the loss of arable agricultural land), and the contributing impact of our current agricultural system towards the climate change epidemic make a case for an increased focus and the proliferation of urban rooftop agriculture. Urban rooftop agriculture offers a viable solution to addressing the environmental problems inherent in our food industry and will be crucial to ensuring the resilience and sustainability of our cities. As the current technology and policy implementation exists now it is not the be-all-end-all to the problems that exist in our agricultural industry, but is very much a worthwhile conversation to be had at the public, private, local and national arenas. It has the opportunity in the future to offer a major solution to feeding ourselves while at the same time offering opportunities for the urban environment to be reclaimed and fortified. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.

New corn can control beetles WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue and University of Illinois researchers have discovered a novel corn mutant whose leaves are highly susceptible to attack by Western corn rootworm beetles, a pest that feeds primarily on corn silks and pollen. While Western corn rootworm beetles were previously thought to avoid corn leaves based on food-source preference, study of the mutant suggests that normal corn plants have an active defense mechanism that deters the beetles from feeding on their foliage. Identifying this mechanism could lead to new strategies for controlling Western corn rootworm, which is the most destructive insect pest of corn in the U.S. “This opens up a whole new opportunity to understand more about the mechanism of defense in corn to control this beetle,” said Gurmukh Johal,

Gene Leak, 101, takes the first tractor he owned, a 1930 Massey Harris, for

a spin Wednesday at his granddaughter’s farm near Montmorenci.

At age 101, Indiana farmer reunited with first tractor MONTMORENCI (AP) — It was 1935 when Gene Leak, then 23, got his first tractor — a 1930 4-wheel drive Massey Harris — for $700. “We got that tractor almost at cost,” Leak, now 101, recalled. “You worked any shenanigans you could think of (to get a good deal).” Leak sold the tractor three years later, shortly before he purchased his own farmland in Warren County. He never imagined that decades later he’d come to own the tractor once more. On Nov. 18, a surprised Leak walked out the doors of GreenTree Assisted Living to find the tractor parked alongside a sign reading, “Happy 101st Birthday, G’pa Gene.” Amy Booher, Leak’s granddaughter, and her husband, A.J., tracked down and purchased the tractor. They bought it for $12,500 and put $1,100 into getting it running again. “It had been running, but it had been setting for 25 years,” A.J. Booher told the Journal & Courier. Leak began farming at a time when most farmers were just beginning to trade horses for horsepower. He worked the night shift from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on a family farm, carrying a gas lantern because the crank-start tractor had no lights. The cleats on the tractor tires weren’t easy to maneuver over long distances, and he was acquiring more land. So in 1937 he sold the tractor to a farmer who

lived east of Attica. The tractor remained near Attica until 1976, when that owner sold it to a farmer near Battle Ground. Meanwhile, Leak’s life went on. He started his own farm in 1939, buying more than 200 acres at $100 an acre. As the economy surged during World War II, Leak was able to pay off all the debt by 1945. In the mid-’80s, Leak attended a tractor show in Boswell. Noticing a tractor that he thought was the same model as his first, he inquired about the tractor’s past. The original owner was named Gene Leak, the owner said. Well, I’m Gene Leak, Leak replied. Leak forgot about the tractor for a time. Time marched on. His wife of 75 years, Vivian, passed away. Earlier this year, A.J. Booher contacted the Massey-Harris tractor’s Battle Ground owner, who said he’d sold it to a man south of Lafayette. Booher called him and made a deal. After restoring the tractor, which has been sitting, unused, for nearly 25 years, the Boohers watched Leak take a spin around the GreenTree parking lot. “I was shocked,” Leak said. “They said there’s something out there we want to show you. I walked out there and there’s a crowd around it.” “I said, ‘You know what that is?’” Booher said. “He said, ‘I thought I’d never hear that thing run again.’”

Soybeans rise but corn falls on United States markets CHICAGO — Soybeans rose on Friday on strong export demand and higher soymeal prices, and Chicago wheat gained on concerns about Argentina’s wheat crop. Corn slipped as U.S. markets reopened for a shortened session after the Thanksgiving holiday. Demand for soybeans from overseas markets, especially from top importer China, has lifted the oilseed this week. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported weekly export sales of U.S. soybeans at 1.77 million tons, combining old and new crop years, which were above trade expectations. The USDA also said private exporters reported sales of 110,000 tons of U.S. soybeans to China for 2014/15 delivery.

January soybeans rose 1.3 percent, or 16 1/2 cents, to $13.36 1/2 a bushel, taking additional support from soymeal futures, which have gained on tight supplies, and spread trades with corn. December soymeal gained 2.4 percent, setting a contract high. On a nearby contract basis, soybeans finished with gains of 4.4 percent for the month and 1.3 percent for the week. Export prospects for U.S. wheat were also in focus, with crop problems emerging in rival exporting countries. Argentina’s agriculture minister on Thursday projected the country’s 2013/14 wheat crop at 8.5 million tons, below the USDA’s current forecast of 11 million tons for that South American country.

Purdue report: Income to become driver behind global food systems WEST LAFAYETTE — Per capita income is set to eclipse population growth as the dominant driver of change in the global food system, says a Purdue researcher noted for his work on the economic impacts of global trade and environmental policies. Thomas Hertel said that while population and income will remain the two most influential factors in determining global food demand and cropland expansion, their relative importance will be altered. “For the first time in human history, income will have a greater influence than population growth on food security,” said Hertel, distinguished professor of agricultural economics. “While the global population is estimated to jump from 7 billion people to 9 billion in the next four decades, the rate of population growth rate is slowing. Meanwhile, individual incomes are increasing in many parts of the developing world, and with that growth will come more demand for richer, more nutritional diets.” Hertel is the founder and

executive director of the Purdue-based Global Trade Analysis Project, known as GTAP, a network of more than 10,000 researchers and policymakers in 150 countries that aims to improve the quality of global economic analysis. Hertel spoke at the Research and Scholarship Distinguished Lecture on Monday (Nov. 18) in Fowler Hall on the Purdue campus. He is the recipient of the university’s inaugural Research and Scholarship Distinction Award, which recognizes faculty whose recent research and scholarship have made a major impact in disciplines outside of the natural sciences. Higher incomes coupled with potential increases in the use of cropland for biofuels production would require global crop production to double by 2050, Hertel said. Increasing crop production while maintaining environmental sustainability presents a major challenge. For example, nitrogen fertilizers have boosted crop yields, but nitrogen runoff into natural water systems can

take a toll on the health of lakes, rivers and oceans. Rising average temperatures and a greater frequency of extreme weather could also reduce yields, said Hertel. “Agriculture will be the area most significantly affected by climate change,” he said. Adverse climate conditions, higher energy prices and an increase in climate mitigation policies could combine to reduce cropland and increase food prices, he said. Hertel sees technological progress as the key to future food security. “We’ve tripled crop production in the last 50 years,” he said. “If we can continue to make that kind of progress, we should be OK.” The potential for growth in production technology depends on public and private investment in research and development, said Hertel. “What we do in the next decade will likely determine how successful we are in sustainably feeding the planet in 2050,” he said.

refugee settlements, loaded onto trucks and taken to the fields where they work for six to eight hours, earning up to four dollars a day.

Syrian refugee children working long, hard hours ZAHLEH, Lebanon (AP) — Every morning in northeastern Lebanon, hundreds of Syrian children are picked up from refugee settlements, loaded onto trucks and taken to the fields or shops for a day’s work that earns $4 or less. Throughout the day, young boys and girls walk along dirt roads, carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables from the fields to shops. Some are barefoot, while others struggle with the heavy load. The children, some as young as 7, are cheap labor in Lebanon and Jordan, where they’ve fled the Syrian civil war. And they are fast becoming primary providers for their families as the adults can’t find jobs in exile. They work long hours of manual labor in fields, farms and shops for little pay, according to a U.N. report issued Friday. More than two million Syrians have fled their country’s civil war, now in its third year, seeking shelter in neighboring countries

such as Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq. At least half of the refugees — 1.1 million — are children. Of those, some 75 percent are under the age of 12, according to the United Nations refugee agency. The 65-page report issued Friday by the UNHCR highlighted the plight of the children, who are growing up in fractured families, missing out on education as they turn to manual labor, sometimes under dangerous or exploitative conditions, the report said. “If we do not act quickly, a generation of innocents will become lasting casualties of an appalling war,” said Antonio Guterres, the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Refugees, during a visit to Lebanon’s border town of Arsal. Tens of thousands of Syrians have arrived there in recent weeks alone. With all those refugees competing for work, the children are attractive laborers. “There are thousands like me and they prefer to employ boys, not men,

because they will do whatever they tell them to, and for less money,” said Abu Mussab, a 36-yearold refugee from a village near Syria’s war ravaged northern city of Aleppo.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — A comet that gained an earthly following because of its bright tail visible from space was initially declared dead after grazing the sun. Now, there is a sliver of hope that Comet ISON may have survived. New images being analyzed Friday showed a streak of light moving away from the sun that some said could indicate it wasn’t game over just yet. “It certainly appears as if there is an object there that is emitting material,” said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Basically a dirty snowball from the fringes of the solar system, scientists had pronounced Comet ISON (EYE’-sahn) dead when it came within 1 million miles of the sun Thursday. Some sky gazers speculated early on that it might become the comet of the century because of its brightness, although expectations dimmed over time. But it wouldn’t be all bad news if the

4.5-billion-year-old space rock broke up into pieces, because some scientists say they might be able to study them and learn more about comets. The European Space Agency, which had declared ISON’s death on Twitter late Thursday, was backtracking early Friday, saying the comet “continues to surprise.” Comet ISON was first spotted by a Russian telescope in September last year, and became something of celestial flash in the pan this week for its vivid tail — visible by the naked eye — and compelling backstory of impending doom. The comet was two-thirds of a mile wide as it got within 1 million miles of the sun, which in space terms basically means grazing it. NASA solar physicist Alex Young said Thursday the comet had been expected to show up in images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft at around noon Eastern time, but almost four hours later there was “no sign of it whatsoever.”

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Holly Maniatty creates music — for the deaf. Teaming American Sign Language with dance moves and body language, she brings musical performances alive for those who can’t hear. Her clients are a who’s who of rock, pop and hip-hop: Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Mumford and Sons, Jay-Z, Billy Joel, Marilyn Manson, U2, Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang Clan, to name a few. Along the way, videos of her fast-motion, helterskelter signing have become popular online. There’s the video of Springsteen jumping down from the stage at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and joining Maniatty and another interpreter. There, he dances and signs to “Dancing in the Dark.” “Deaf people were commenting, ‘Oh, the Boss knows he has deaf fans. That’s awesome,’” she said. “When artists connect with their interpreters, they also connect with their deaf fans.” In another video, rap artist Killer Mike approaches Maniatty in front of the stage after noticing her animated signing. “I’ve never seen that before,” he says to her before challenging her to sign a profane phrase, which she does wholeheartedly as the crowd hoots and hollers. At a Wu-Tang performance, Method Man took notice of her signing, came down from the stage and joined her. “He said, ‘That’s dope,’ and gave me a hug and a fist pump,” she said. This month, she signed at New England’s largest drag queen show as performers from all over sashayed down the runway and lip-synched to booming music. Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin, who’s deaf, took to Twitter this year when she saw a video of Maniatty performing at the Wu-Tang show: “Wu tang interpreter is rapping in sign BIG time!!” The 33-year-old Maniatty, who lives outside Portland, learned sign language while studying it at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.

Ohio man charged after fatal crash at speed of 125 mph FREMONT, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio motorist traveling at more than 125 mph was charged Friday with vehicular homicide after his car struck a minivan, killing a couple inside, the State Highway Patrol said. Andrew D. Gans, of Kent, faces two counts of vehicular homicide with a reckless specification after Thursday night’s crash on the Ohio Turnpike, where both vehicles burst into flames. The victims, Wilbur and Margaret McCoy, both 77, of Toledo, were wearing seatbelts when they were hit and were trapped inside of the minivan, the patrol said. Gans, 24, suffered injuries that are not life-threatening and was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation at a Toledo hospital, said staff Lt. Anne Ralston, a patrol spokeswoman. Gans has spoken with investigators, but Ralston declined to comment on what he said or whether he offered any explanation for the erratic driving that was reported. He will be taken to jail following his release from the hospital. No court date has been set and the case will go to a grand jury. The patrol said the incident remains under investigation. Two troopers separately spotted Gans’ car but weren’t able to catch or keep up with it before the crash.

Miles not only distance in this relationship DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing my boyfriend, “Casey,” for a year. He has said throughout our courtship that we could get married in four to five years. Over the past couple of months, he has become distant and less romantic. I drive four hours to see him almost every week, and he seems fine then, but when we’re apart, he rarely texts me and seems disinterested. On one of my recent visits, Casey said he NEVER wants to get married! When I asked what had changed his mind, his response was that he has decided that marriage is a trap. When I asked if he still wanted to be with me, he said yes. I know I don’t want to be Casey’s girlfriend forever. I don’t want to waste my time if he’s not going to marry me, but I really want to be with him. Do you think he’ll change his mind again, or is it time for me to end things? —

DEAR DOCTOR K: I sometimes get short of breath. Should I worry that it’s serious? DEAR READER: Shortness of breath is often no big deal. It’s normal to be short of breath for a little while after strenuous exercise or at high altitudes. Some people breathe hard when they’re anxious. When should you worry that shortness of breath might indicate a serious heart or lung condition? I tell my patients that they know their own bodies a lot better than I do. Their bodies are sending their brains signals every minute. If they think they are getting short of breath in situations that never made them short of breath before, that’s a red flag. Maybe they have to stop to catch their breath after climbing one flight of stairs, and that never used to

Man needs comic book heroes to fight disease the disease. â€œEven though itâ€™s a lot of money, itâ€™s going to have to carry me to whenever, whatever.â€? Word of the online auction of 420 of Landmanâ€™s more pristine comics, including the first appearance of the Fantastic Four and Hulk and early appearances by Spider-Man, has lit up the comic book world like the Bat Signal. â€œIâ€™ve never heard of anything like this come out of the blue like this,â€? said Ralph DiBernado, owner of Jetpack Comics LLC, in Rochester N.H. He said the auction houseâ€™s estimate that the collection is worth $500,000 may be low by as much as a quarter-million dollars when the auction ends Dec. 13. â€œItâ€™s a spectacular collection, the best thing you could ask for.â€? Forget Flash, Green Lantern and their musclebound brethren. To big-time comics collectors, itâ€™s the young Landman who is the real superhero, with an uncanny precognition to preserve his finds. From the time he was in grade school until he was about to enter college, Landman bought a dozen comic books a week at the local drug store, but only plunking down his dime or 12 cents for copies unflawed by so much as a crease. â€œWhen the guy behind the counter tossed it in

KILDEER, Ill. (AP) â€” It could be a plot from a classic comic book: A mild-mannered boy with the good Spidey sense to treat his comics like priceless manuscripts grows into a man who must use the valuable collection to fight his greatest foe, a rare disease threatening to rob him of his ability to walk. Fact is, for Steve Landman, itâ€™s a real-life predicament. Diagnosed with anti-MAG IgM peripheral neuropathy, an autoimmune disease that attacks the nerves, Landman for months has watched helplessly as the numbness that started in his toes crawled up his legs to the point where he now moves as if trudging through snow. Landman, 62, is weighing his options while also hoping for a cure to the disease, which can upset a personâ€™s sense of balance to the point that walking is impossible. And an alternative to some of the current treatments has side effects that, heâ€™s learned, donâ€™t always work. So, heâ€™s turning to his collection of 10,000 comics in an effort to raise enough money to live on and fight his affliction. â€œI wonâ€™t really have an income in a few months,â€? said Landman, a suburban Chicago dentist who has to sell his practice because of

a bag, treating it like toothpaste or a pencil, I had to slow the guy down,â€? Landman recalled. â€œHeâ€™d look at me, like, â€˜Youâ€™re weird, youâ€™re nuts.â€™â€? And if he couldnâ€™t find comics up to his standards in the metal rack? â€œIâ€™d hop on my bike and go all across town and buy a better copy somewhere else,â€? he said. But what really sets Landmanâ€™s collection apart is what he did next. First he put them in plastic bags. Then he asked his dad, a dry cleaner, for those pieces of cardboard that come fitted behind dress shirts and recycled them as back boards for his comics â€” standard practice these days for collectors but nearly unheard of decades ago. â€œI had to cut them down because they didnâ€™t fit (the comics) exactly,â€? he said of the boards, which prevent the comics from the kind of sagging and creasing that drives down resale value. Today, when comic books can go for millions â€” the first issue of Action Comics that marked the first appearance for Superman sold for $2.16 million in 2011 â€” such precautions are common. But back in the 1960s and â€™70s, most comics were treated with all the care of baseball cards â€” some of which also turned out to be highly valuable â€” obliter-

Landman said he wasnâ€™t
