Christmas Bureau making holiday brighter for needy BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — The Kendallville Christmas Bureau will deliver food, clothing and toys to 162 families today, said its chairwoman, Anita Hess. “Our numbers are down, but our needs are greater,” Hess said. Hess credits an improving economy for the fact that the bureau is serving 65 fewer families than last year, and its list is down by more than 100 from the depths of the recession. The bureau also changed its application procedures two years ago, she said. “In tweaking it, I think we have the neediest of the needy,” she said.

Many families will pick up their Christmas gifts this morning at Shepherd’s Chevrolet Buick GMC, which is lending its building to the cause. Christmas Bureau volunteers will deliver to other families. The bureau always distributes gifts on the first Saturday in December. Approximately two dozen volunteers, including National Honor Society students from East Noble High School, filled boxes for the families. The Christmas charity operates as a project of the Kendallville Chamber of Commerce. It focuses on children in the families its serves, Hess said. “We want to make sure they have warm coats and boots and

hats,” she said. “Many of the requests are for necessities such as school shoes, socks, soap, shampoo.” 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. It’s not too late to contribute to the Christmas Bureau, Hess added. “We’d love to have donations to replenish some of what we’ve spent to do this,” she said. “Any donations that come in now, and beyond, are a big help to us. We can stockpile on coats and things when they go on sale after the holidays.”

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans erupted in song, dance and tears on Friday in public and emotional celebrations of the life of Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who bridged this country’s black-white divide and helped avert a race war. People of all colors hugged and shared emotional moments as anti-apartheid leaders like retired archbishop Desmond Tutu called for the 51 million South Africans to adhere to the values of unity and democracy that Mandela embodied. The tributes to Mandela that came from people across the spectrum showed that he had affected people deeply. “What I liked most about Mandela was his forgiveness, his passion, his diversity, the impact of what he did,” said Ariel Sobel, a white man who was born in 1993, a year before Mandela was elected president. “I am not worried about what will happen next. We will continue as a nation. We knew this was coming. We are prepared.” Sobel was with a crowd of people who had gathered at Mandela’s home in the leafy Johannesburg neighborhood of Houghton where Mandela spent his last sickly months. A dozen doves were released into the skies and people sang tribal songs, the national anthem, God Bless Africa — the anthem of the anti-apartheid struggle — and Christian hymns. SEE MANDELA, PAGE A6

Winter storm strikes hard in Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two people were killed on treacherous roads and schools and businesses were closed as a storm that dumped ice and as much as 10 inches of snow on much of Indiana stretched into its second day Friday. State police responded to numerous accidents Friday that shut down a section of Interstate 70 west of Indianapolis and caused a late-morning backup on Interstate 65 just south of the city, but no major injuries were reported. That was better news than Thursday night, when Mohammed A. Isse, 33, of Chicago, died when his car was struck by a tractortrailer whose driver lost control of

his truck near Richmond. At the other end of the state, Karen Price, 51, of Brazil, Ind., died Thursday night in a multiple car crash near Terre Haute. State police continued to urge motorists to use caution when traveling or to stay off roads entirely in southern Indiana, which received a second round of ice and snow Friday afternoon. The snowstorm hit Indianapolis at a busy time. Thousands of Ohio State and Michigan State fans were descending on the city for two days of tailgating leading up to Saturday night’s Big Ten football championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Kerry still struggling in Mideast peace efforts JERUSALEM (AP) — Halfway through an ambitious nine-month process aimed at forging Mideast peace, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, after another round of shuttle diplomacy, has little to show for his efforts. The participants have reported no progress, a top Palestinian negotiator has resigned in frustration, and few believe Kerry

can broker the comprehensive settlement set as his official goal. Instead, there are rumblings about what will happen when the clock runs out — either an extension of talks, an interim deal, unilateral moves or the outbreak of violence. Kerry tried to put a positive spin on things during a three-day stay marked by smiles, friendly rhetoric toward Israel and Prime

Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but also acknowledgements of the tough task ahead. “I believe we are closer than we have been for years to bringing about the peace and prosperity and the security that all people in this region deserve and yearn for,” he said Friday as he wrapped up his eighth visit to the region as secretary of state. Kerry did not elaborate, and it

was the same type of optimistic language he has used since persuading Israel and the Palestinians to resume talks, their first substantive negotiations in five years, last July. Under heavy American pressure, the sides set an April target date for resolving their decades-long conflict. While negotiators have quietly been SEE KERRY, PAGE A6

Arrested woman used ID of husband’s ex FORT WAYNE — A woman arrested for shoplifting at a Fort Wayne Walmart identified herself as her husband’s ex-wife, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. The ex-wife was arrested when the real wife failed to show up for court. According to the affidavit for probable cause, on July 23, Wendy S. Lockridge, 33, of Fort Wayne, walked out of a Walmart with clothes, food and liquor without paying for the items. Police said Lockridge told a Walmart employee that her name was Amanda Cruse. A Fort Wayne Police Department officer took Lockridge to the Allen County Jail where she provided police with Cruse’s social security number and date of birth. Lockridge also signed multiple documents using the signature “Amanda Cruse.” When Lockridge failed to appear for her court date, a warrant was issued for Cruse’s arrest, and the real Amanda Cruse was arrested by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. The Allen County Sheriff’s Department faxed a photo of Lockridge to Wayne County and officers determined that Cruse and Lockridge were two different people.

Diversity returns to Pokagon due to hunts BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

LAKE JAMES — The controlled deer hunts at Pokagon State Park have become business as usual these days. This year marked the 19th year since the hunts started in Pokagon and the 20th anniversary of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources using hunts to thin deer populations at state parks and reservoirs. “It’s become a routine part of our management now,” said Fred Wooley, Pokagon’s interpretive naturalist. “Now it is just a matter of business as usual. It’s become pretty routine. When I left the park (Tuesday night) the same three deer I have been seeing in the Sweetgum picnic area were still there. Patrolman Bill Cady saw four in the campgrounds. We still see deer, but there are 49 less and we maintain the park and reach our management objectives.” The Legislature gave the DNR the power to use necessary means to achieve a natural balance of flora and fauna on its properties. Prior to that taking place in the 1990s, there were no checks in place on wildlife. Only invasive plants were dealt with. That all changed in 1993

Flags to fly at half-staff to honor Mandela INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence has ordered flags at Indiana state facilities to be flown at half-staff in tribute of Nelson Mandela and is asking businesses and residents to do so also to honor the world leader. The former South African president and the anti-apartheid icon died Thursday at the age of 95. Pence’s order follows an order by President Barack Obama that the U.S. flag be flown at half-staff at the White House, federal buildings, military bases and embassies until sunset Monday. Pence is asking those in Indiana to do the same.

Michelle Cain, an information specialist with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Fish and Wildlife, and Michael Carney, a video journalist with the Division of Communications, take a coffee break while participating in the deer reduction hunt at Pokagon State Park on Tuesday. Cain was hunting and Carney was recording it for the DNR. Carney may have bagged some video, but Cain did not get a deer.

when the first hunt was held at Brown County State Park then in other parks starting in 1995. With the hunts came protests from animal rights activists who felt other methods should be used to control deer population. Those have waned. Scientific data showed that there were too many deer in state parks. That led to vegetation being decimated and food sources for all animals being depleted. The year of the first hunt, it was estimated there were upward of 200 deer living in Pokagon, which covers about 2 square miles. The 1,200-acre park is capable of supporting a herd of between 20 and 40 deer. During the first hunt, there were 124 deer taken in three days. The average weight of field-dressed deer was 72.3 pounds compared to 114.75 pounds for 149 deer checked in Angola that were taken from outside the park. The data came from a study done by Tri-State University biology students.

This year, there were 49 deer taken at Pokagon over four days, two in November and Monday and Tuesday. There were 25 bucks and 24 does taken. Of the 49 deer, 32 weighed more than 100 pounds field dressed. “All the deer were healthy and the park, after 19 years of hunting, is definitely more healthy,” Wooley said. During the first few years of hunting at the park, most of the deer were considered under weight. The first year, one button buck — a half-yearling — was taken that weighed 30 pounds. A typical weight for a deer that age would be 60 pounds. Some of the deer were as old as 10 1/2, which is well beyond a deer’s average lifespan of 4 1/2 years. “Back in the 1990s you could see a definite browse line,” Wooley said. “The bottom two-thirds of the forest has returned.” With that has come the diversity of plant life native to Pokagon.

Officer charged with raping woman

Fire wrecks rural church

FORT WAYNE (AP) — Prosecutors have filed rape charges against a Fort Wayne police officer, saying he attacked a woman he had arrested for drunken driving. Allen County prosecutors added the two counts of rape on Thursday to the charges against Officer Mark Rogers. He had first been charged in September sexual and official misconduct. The Journal Gazette reports (http://bit. ly/1bmNqkM ) the new charges allege Rogers stopped the woman and took her to a hospital for treatment because of her high level of intoxication. Prosecutors say that after she was release from the hospital Roger took her to a city park and had sex with her. Defense attorney David Zent didn’t immediately return a telephone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

PRAIRIE CREEK (AP) — Fire has destroyed much of a church in rural western Indiana that dated to the 19th century. The fire broke out Thursday night at the Prairie Creek First Baptist Church in southern Vigo County, destroying the church’s main sanctuary and its white steeple. Pastor Kevin Dobson tells the Tribune-Star that no one was believed to have been inside the church when the fire started. Renovation work was being done at the church, and Dobson says a large part of a new section being added to the church was saved from the flames. The church dated to the 1870s and about 100 people are members of the congregation some 15 miles south of Terre Haute. The fire’s cause wasn’t immediately determined.

Indy woman pleads to child neglect in son’s death INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis woman has pleaded guilty to felony child neglect in the death of her 7-year-old son in an apartment fire that police say was sparked by a methamphetamine lab. The Indianapolis Star reports 30-year-old Jessica Rogers has pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement in which a murder charge was dismissed. Her trial was scheduled to begin Friday. Authorities say Rogers was cooking meth last Dec. 8 when fire broke out and she jumped out a second-story window without her son, Dreydon Webb. The boy’s body was found about 5 feet from the window Rogers escaped from. A witness told police Dreydon repeatedly called “Help me, Mommy.” Rogers will be sentenced Thursday. She faces a maximum sentence of eight years in prison.

Lake refilling after dam repairs BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Dam repairs at a Bloomington lake have been completed and it is starting to refill with water more than a year after it was drained. Work was completed last week on the Griffy Lake dam project, which included replacing concrete, fixing cracks and removing debris and sediment, The Herald-Times . “It looks really great out there,” city utilities engineer Phil Peden said. “There’s quite a bit of water.” Officials don’t know how long it will take the 109-acre lake to reach its normal depth. The lake was drained through Griffy Creek starting in June 2012, and it was empty by September that year. The $1.4 million project was needed after heavy rains in 2008 damaged the dam that was built in 1924, Utilities Department spokesman Jon Callahan said.

ANGOLA — Angola police officers working in cooperation with 10 other local police departments as part of the Tri-County Traffic Safety Partnership, took part in the recent Operation Pull Over, Blitz 77, a nationwide program aimed at getting impaired drivers off the road and citing people for seat belt violation. Twenty officers worked a total of 28 shifts during the blitz that ended on Dec. 1, issuing 131 tickets for seat belt violations. One person was ticketed for violating the child restraint law, and one person was arrested and charged with Operating while Intoxicated. Five tickets were issued to people for driving while suspended, and police made

four criminal misdemeanor arrests. Officers issued more than 100 people warnings during the blitz. The Tri-County Traffic Safety Partnership is comprised of officers from the Angola Police Department, the Ashley Police Department, the Hudson Police Department, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department, the Auburn Police Department, the Butler Police Department, the Waterloo Police Department, the Garrett Police Department, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, and the Wolcottville Police Department. The partnership received funding to pay for the program through a grant administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.

Trine planning fundraising gala ANGOLA — Plans are underway for Trine University’s biggest fundraising event of the year, and community members are invited to join. Trine’s 11th annual Black and White Scholarship Gala, which raises funds exclusively for scholarships, is scheduled for Feb. 8. Ninety-eight percent of Trine University students receive financial aid or scholarships, and this event serves as a primary funding source. Last year, the event set records with 365 people in attendance and more than $300,000 raised. The evening event includes hors d’oeuvres and dinner, live music and live and silent auctions with a range of items from travel getaways to sports memorabilia to designer handbags. “Trine University is always grateful for community members’ generous donations that make our gala so successful,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Trine president. “Such generosity makes it possible for Trine to award scholarships to our

deserving students, many of whom donate to the program after they graduate.” Another feature of the annual event is an opportunity for guests to sponsor a $500 Books and Beyond Scholarship. MTI Foundation is challenging donors by offering a matching grant of $50,000, $15,000 more than last year. Alumnus Rick L. James, chair of Trine’s Board of Trustees, and president and CEO of Metal Technologies Inc., and his wife, Vicki L. James, also offered the matching grant last year. Books and Beyond Scholarships are provided to deserving students who may use the money to purchase books, computers, school and lab supplies and meals. Funds also help students pay modest account balances to enable them to register for the next semester. Tickets to the gala cost $150 for couples and $75 for individuals. To donate to the silent auction or reserve tickets, contact the Office of Alumni and Development at alumni@trine.edu or 665-4114.

Lawmakers unlikely to consider casino aid INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A key state legislator doesn’t expect the General Assembly to make many changes to Indiana’s casino laws during its upcoming session. Lawmakers had lengthy debates in this year’s session over bills aimed at boosting Indiana’s casinos as they face greater competition from neighboring states, but they turned down most of those proposals. New House Public Policy Committee Chairman Tom Dermody, R-LaPorte, said Thursday he’s working to learn about the casino issues and expects debate on any major changes to wait until the 2015 session. House Speaker Brian Bosma named Dermody the committee chairman last month following the resignation of Rep. Bill Davis of Portland, who became Gov. Mike Pence’s director of community and rural affairs. Gambling issues expected to be on hold include considering again whether to allow live table games such as blackjack and roulette at the two horse track casinos near Indianapolis, where only electronic versions of those games are now allowed, The Herald Bulletin reported. “I think that discussion will be for future sessions after this next one,” Dermody said. Bosma and Davis largely opposed many of the casino proposals as an unwarranted expansion of gambling. Dermody said he expected to talk with Pence

about casino issues but believed the governor’s opposition to gambling expansion included additional table games. Mike Smith, president of the Casino Association of Indiana, said he expected few gambling bills would be considered during the legislative session that begins in early January, partly because the General Assembly will only be meeting until mid-March. Dermody’s district is near the Blue Chip casino in Michigan City, which Smith said he believed made Dermody more receptive to the casino industry’s concerns. “I think from an industry standpoint he’s a very open individual and it’s going to be good to have someone of his character in that position,” Smith said. This year’s debate over reducing taxes on the 13 Indiana casinos and allowing the live table games at the horse track casinos came as the state anticipates a 15 percent drop in casino tax collections during the coming years. State officials blame the decline in part on the opening of new casinos in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois taking business away from the Indiana sites. Smith said 2015 might be the right time for a broad look at Indiana’s casino regulations. “We are facing some troubling times right now,” he said. “For the future of the industry, we need to look at the whole tax model.”

FORT WAYNE — Food. Shelter. Comfort. Hope. In a season filled with giving, there’s a multitude of ways you can give back to your community through your American Red Cross. “The gift you give today will be there for the patient needing blood, the family needing shelter, or the child who needs a hug and a blanket,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “Your gifts of time, blood or money can help save the day down the street, across the country and around the world.” As a humanitarian organization led by volunteers, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster and to help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. As part of that mission, the Red Cross also provides about half of the nation’s blood supply through voluntary blood donations.

Report: Central African death toll up to 280 BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Christian civilians fled by the thousands to the airport guarded by French forces in this chaotic capital Friday as the mostly Muslim armed fighters who have ruled the country since March hunted door-to-door for their enemies and the death toll from inter-communal violence increased to 280 people. Bodies lay decomposing along the roads in a capital too dangerous for many to collect the corpses. Thursday’s clashes marked the worst unrest in Bangui in nine months and raised fears that waves of retaliatory attacks could soon follow. “They are slaughtering us like chickens,” said Appolinaire Donoboy, a Christian whose family remained in hiding. France had pledged to increase its presence in its former colony well before Christian militias attacked the capital at dawn Thursday. The arrival of additional French troops and equipment came as the capital teetered on the brink of total anarchy and represented the greatest hope for many Central Africans. About 1,000 French forces were expected to be on the ground by Friday evening, a French defense official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter. As night fell across the near anarchic capital, Christians fearing retaliatory attacks by the mostly Muslim ex-rebels crowded as close to the runway as possible, laying out their woven mats in front of a barbed wire coiled fence. National radio announced that at least 280 people had died, citing figures from local Red Cross officials. The U.S. State Department said it was “deeply concerned” by the violence

and praised France’s quick intervention. France signaled its amped up presence in its former colony on Friday by sending out armored vehicles to patrol the streets. A French fighter jet made several flyovers, roaring through the sky over an otherwise lifeless capital as civilians cowered at home. Britain also flew in a C-17 plane Friday loaded with equipment to help with France’s intervention. As many as 250 French troops are carrying out permanent patrols in Bangui, and “we didn’t notice any direct clashes between armed groups today,” said French military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron in Paris. On Thursday, however, 10 armed attackers in a pickup truck fired on a French position at the airport, including with a rocket-propelled grenade whose charge did not

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty, an effort to spur development and investment in green energy while balancing its environmental consequences. The change, requested by the wind energy industry, will provide legal protection for the lifespan of wind farms and other projects for which companies obtain a permit and make efforts to avoid killing the birds. An investigation by The

Associated Press earlier this year documented the illegal killing of eagles around wind farms, the Obama administration’s reluctance to prosecute such cases and its willingness to help keep the scope of the eagle deaths secret. The White House has championed wind power, a pollutionfree energy intended to ease global warming, as a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan. In other areas, too, such as the government’s support for corn-based ethanol to reduce U.S. dependence on gasoline, the White House

detonate. French forces returned fire, killing four attackers and wounding six, Jaron said. A planned vote on a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday allowed France to proceed with its mission. It coincided with the worst violence to roil the capital since March when the mostly Muslim rebels known as Seleka overthrew the president of a decade. On Thursday, Christian militias believed to be loyal to ousted leader Francois Bozize attacked the city, and hours of gunbattles ensued. The conflict in one of Africa’s poorest countries has gathered little sustained international attention since the government overthrow in March, and the dramatic developments were overshadowed Friday by global mourning for South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who died at the age of 95.

“Thanks to France and the United Nations who want to save the Central Africans, soon the Seleka attacks on civilians will stop. We have had enough of Seleka killing, raping and stealing,” said Abel Nguerefara, who lives on the outskirts of Bangui. Streets in the city were empty Friday except for military vehicles and the trucks favored by the rebel forces who now claim control of the government. Nine unclaimed bodies lay sprawled in front of the parliament building alone — local Red Cross workers didn’t dare retrieve them, or other bodies that were left to decay outside. Despite the cheers that went up when a jet engine roared overhead, France insisted it was going only reluctantly into Central African Republic and with the limited aim of doubling its presence in the country to 1,200 troops.

has allowed the green industry to do not-so-green things. Another AP investigation recently showed that ethanol has proven far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today. Under the change announced Friday, companies would have to commit to take additional measures if they kill or injure more eagles than they have estimated they would, or if new information suggests that eagle populations are being affected. The permits would be reviewed every five years, and companies would have to submit reports of how many eagles they kill. Now such reporting is voluntarily, and the Interior Depart-

ment refuses to release the information. “This is not a program to kill eagles,” said John Anderson, the director of siting policy at the American Wind Energy Association. “This permit program is about conservation.” Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Though the blades appear to move slowly, they can reach speeds of up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornadolike vortexes. Flying eagles behave like drivers texting on their cellphones; they don’t look up. As they scan below for food, they don’t notice the industrial turbine blades until it is too late.

Where real charity comes from ’Tis the season for giving. But when you give, do you know your money will help someone? Social workers say, “Don’t give to beggars.” Those who do give are “enablers,” helping alcoholics and drug users to continue bad habits. It’s better to give to charities that help the “homeless.” I put “homeless” in quotes because my TV producers have quietly followed a dozen of the more convincing beggars after “work,” and all had homes. Once, I put on a fake beard and begged for an hour. At the rate money was coming in, I would have made 90 bucks in an eight-hour day — $23,000 per year, tax-free! I see why people panhandle. Their success, however, means that people who give them money, no matter how JOHN good their intentions, are not engaging in real charity. STOSSEL Giving may make you feel better, but it doesn’t make the world a better place. So where should we give? Charity-rating services try to separate good charities from scams, but they get conned, too. The definition of “charitable work” is rarely clear. How should the board of a nonprofit’s first-class hotel expenses during a trip to Africa be classified? That’s why I give to charities I can watch. I donate to I give to charities I can The Doe Fund, a watch. I donate to The nonprofit Doe Fund, a nonprofit helping to rehabilitate helping to rehabilitate ex-conex-convicts. I saw their victs. I saw their “Men “Men in Blue” working in Blue” near my apartment working near my apartment — cheerfully and — cheerfully and energet- energetically. I thought, ically. I “Whoever’s rehabbing thought, these guys is doing “Whoever’s rehabbing something right!” these guys is doing something right!” So I give money to them — and to a couple other groups I can see. Finally, I give more to charity because I’m not much of an entrepreneur. I don’t have business-building skills. But for those who do, here’s a novel idea: Don’t give to charity. Years ago, Ted Turner was praised for donating a billion dollars to the United Nations. He said he wanted to “guilt” other billionaires into giving more and told me Warren Buffet was “cheap” for giving too little. At first, the idea makes sense. Billionaires have more than they need; merely chasing more profit seems selfish. But giving it a second thought, I found a fallacy in Turner’s argument. The U.N. is a wasteful bureaucracy, leading me to assume it squandered Turner’s gift. Buffet, meanwhile, continued to direct his investors’ money to growing companies. Based on Buffet’s stock-picking success, his investments were probably a more productive use of capital than Turner’s. Money went to people making better products, inventing better things, creating more jobs and so on. Maybe Buffet’s stock picks are now funding the next Bill Gates. Today, the real Gates spends his time giving money away. He’s unusually conscientious about it. He experiments, funding what works and dropping what doesn’t. His charity work saves lives. Good for him. But Gates was also unusually skilled at bringing people better software. Had he continued doing that at Microsoft, I bet the company would have been even more productive. And Gates would have done more for the world. I tried that thought experiment on Turner, who, in turn, unclipped his microphone and walked off the set. OK, so people who give away a billion dollars don’t want to hear skepticism about their gift. But there’s little doubt capitalism helps people more. Even rock star Bono from U2 has come to understand that. He used to call for more government spending on foreign aid. Now he says: “Aid is just a stopgap. Commerce, entrepreneurial capitalism take more people out of poverty.” Bingo. If Bono gets it, Turner should, too. I applaud those who give to charity, but let’s not forget that it’s capitalists (honest ones, not those who feed off government) who do the most for the poor. They do more good for the world than politicians — and more even than do-gooders working for charities.

Letter To The Editor • Only God can heal America To the editor: “United we stand, and divided we fall.” I was 16 years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and Roosevelt declared war against Japan, and a little later against Germany. Our nation was totally united to produce war machinery to defeat the enemies. No nation ever produced war materials as America did. We were so proud to be American. It seemed that all Americans loved each other and were totally united against all enemies of America. We have been through several wars since, but we are now a divided nation. Congress is divided, conservatives and liberals are divided. And it takes an earthquake or a tornado to get us to work together. The big divider started in 1973 when the

Supreme Court ruled a mother had the right to decide if her unborn child would live or die. Since then, millions of unwanted babies have been sacrificed. Mother Teresa said, “As long as mothers kill their babies, we will have violence in the streets.” Just read your daily paper and count the shootings, robberies, rapes, drunken drivers and drug abuse. God gives all life, and He says, “Thou shalt not kill.” It seem that God can be outvoted by those who trust the Supreme Court, instead of trusting God. Genesis I and John I tell us that God is our creator and all life is from God. David said, “Before I was in my mother’s womb, God knew me.” Some believe they can eventually prove God was not our creator. They spend billions in space travel going to the moon and other planets to bring back

rocks, sand and dust, trying to find out where life started. God will tell them for free if they will only believe God. There is one more great divider sweeping through America, and that is same-sex marriage. If you say marriage is one man and one woman only, some call you a “hate monger.” God unites one man and one woman and tells them, “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.” God rained fire on Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them because the men wanted men only. In the New Testament, Romans 1:26B-27, women burned in lust for women and men for men. God gave them over to vile passion. Those who believe God and his world cannot agree with those who do not. Only God can heal America, “one nation under God.” Ray Carter Auburn

Christmas activities culminate fun holiday season Abe and Kristin’s house empties out one at a time as we all take flights back home with a week of family memories tucked inside our travel bags. The trip is quickly made with a tail wind guiding the aircraft through skies of blue. My seatmate, Donna, has sad stories to tell me and I listen intently. She is going home to say good bye to her brother and make some decisions about her life. Donna is nervous and orders two small bottles of wine on this afternoon flight. As we descend into Fort Wayne the skies are as gray and foggy as a Sandburg poem. Donna is afraid of landing in the fog. Karen reaches over and takes her hand and tells her it will be fine. I offer her chocolate which she gladly takes. We land safely through the fog onto a runway of drizzle. What a contrast this is from the bright Arizona skies, I think to myself. We say farewell to Donna and wish her well as we leave the aircraft. We gather our bags and find the old Jeep in the parking lot. Everything and everyone barely fits, but we snuggle in for the ride home. I drop off Aaron and Karen and the boys knowing I will miss their company. With the deepening fog I pull into the House at White Picket Gardens. I am greeted by two rotten pumpkins on my front porch. I sigh and decide I will deal with them when they freeze. I park the Jeep and carry in my bags to a chilly empty house. I turn up the heat and put on the tea kettle. There is a forlorn Pilgrim on my dining room table. She looks a bit tired and out

of her element on this early December day. There are other Thanksgiving objects as well. There will be time to tuck away Thanksgiving and bring out the Christmas boxes, but in the dreary rain it does not feel like it. I do not have time to lament or miss family on this first night home. I quickly change and pull back out of the driveway to meet Colleen Holman. My headlights separate the fog from the road and we meet up. I take my first deep LOU ANN breath and get into Colleen’s HOMAN- car as we head toward Metz the annual Lady and SAYLOR for Lassie Christmas Party at the Metz Christian Church. As I walk in the door the spirit of Christmas is apparent in everything! The church basement is decorated for this Christmas party. It smells like my grandma’s church from long ago. I can even catch a glimpse of her arranging food and greeting folks. The tablecloths are made of old fashioned vinyl. Garland and tinsel hang from the rafters, and glass Christmas tree jars decorate the tables. I join the merriment by telling stories and listening to the history of the church. We share punch and cookies before the Sweet Adelines sing a variety of Christmas carols. Elizabeth Gilbert is the emcee, and she is very funny. I am next

•

with my Christmas stories. As I begin to speak I am caught up in their humor and sweetness and tell stories as if time will stand still for all of us. But too soon we say farewell and I find my way home in the fog. I check my calendar for all the events heading my way. I am ready. My students greet me warmly with projects in hand. I will miss these students when the semester is over. Secret Santa gifts have piled up in my office during my absence. It is great fun to open them and wonder about the person who has my name. Back home I cozy up in my studio with a candle and a small heater when I hear the doorbell ring. It is the delivery of oranges and grapefruit from the Pleasant Lake Lions Club. Jerry Walker carries them into my kitchen. Jerry is friendly and full of stories. We talk about Elten and Carolyn caught up in the winter storms out west. Jerry tells me he worked in Colorado for a while as a young man but came to Angola to become a typesetter for the Herald-Republican. He worked there 30 years. Jerry still misses the West now and again, but home is home. We say farewell. The Pilgrim is still on the table. It doesn’t really matter. The Christmas season is here and so am I. 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.

What Others Say • Iran nuclear deal an opportunity that requires follow-up Proponents of the Iran nuclear deal are calling it “a victory for diplomacy.” That very much remains to be seen; certainly it is a premature judgment. The same is true of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dark prophecy that the deal is “a historic mistake.” The real significance is that the deal was done at all, thanks to the relentless diplomacy of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his ability to keep our fractious allies in this endeavor — Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — on the same page. Of only slightly less importance is that the U.S. and

Iran talked substantively for the first time in decades, thanks in part to the departure of its bellicose former president, Mohammed Ahmadinejad, and his replacement by Hassan Rouhani, who claims he wants to end Iran’s pariah status. The deal reached last weekend is an interim arrangement that the parties could easily end at any time; however, it does buy six months during which the parties can begin the much harder task of reaching a long-term treaty. Reaction on Capitol Hill was mixed, with members of both parties expressing concerns that the interim pact would allow Iran to continue to enrich any uranium in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. “In my view, this agreement

did not proportionately reduce Iran’s nuclear program for the relief it is receiving,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said. “Given Iran’s history of duplicity, it will demand ongoing, on-the-ground verification. Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, who is the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, has introduced legislation that would require Iran to fully comply with the interim agreement and would prevent Obama from waiving additional sanctions unless Iran meets certain conditions for an acceptable final agreement. Corker said skepticism is widespread and Congress should hold the administration’s “feet to the fire” to ensure the

interim agreement does not become permanent. The deal could collapse if Congress, goaded by Israel, passes tougher sanctions during the life of the interim agreement. Such action would be premature. The interim pact is neither a diplomatic victory nor a grave error; it is an opportunity. If Iran thumbs its nose at the world and violates the agreement or fails to negotiate in good faith toward a permanent pact, the administration and our allies will need to restore all sanctions and perhaps take further action. In the meantime, all parties should give diplomacy a chance to work. Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel

Many wore traditional garb of Zulu, Xhosa and South Africa’s other ethnic groups. One carried a sign saying: “He will rule the universe with God.” In Soweto, the rough and tumble black township where Mandela used to live, pockets of dancers and singers shuffled through the street, celebrating Mandela’s life. Dozens of kids held oversized pictures of the anti-apartheid icon. “I’m sorry, I’m too emotional. The tears come too easily,” Themba Radebe, a 60-year-old who was filming the street celebration with his phone, told a reporter. He later decided to share his thoughts. “This is a celebration of the death, because we knew he was an old man,” said Radebe, whose eyes sparkled with shallow tears. “He brought a lot of changes to our community, because I grew up in apartheid. It was a very bad situation.” President Jacob Zuma announced that Mandela is to be buried during a state

funeral in his rural home town of Qunu on Sunday, Dec. 15. A memorial service is to be held on Tuesday in FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Mandela’s last public appearance was at the same stadium in 2010 for the closing ceremony of the soccer World Cup. Mandela’s body will then lie in state in Pretoria for three days. Sunday marks a national day of prayer and reflection. “We call upon all our people to gather in halls, churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and in their homes for prayer services and meditation, reflecting on the life of Madiba and his contribution to our country and the world,” Zuma said, using Mandela’s clan name. Zuma had announced late Thursday that Mandela, who had been in and out of the hospital four times since February 2011, was dead. He was last admitted in June with a recurring lung infection from which he never recovered, though he was released in September to convalesce at home.

After midnight, a black SUV-type vehicle containing Mandela’s coffin, draped in South Africa’s flag, pulled away from Mandela’s home, escorted by military motorcycle outriders, to take the body to a military morgue in Pretoria. In a church service in Cape Town, Tutu, who like Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, said Mandela would want South Africans themselves to be his “memorial” by adhering to the values of unity and democracy that he embodied. He recalled the early 1990s when South Africa teetered on the brink of a race war. “All of us here in many ways amazed the world, a world that was expecting us to be devastated by a racial conflagration,” Tutu said. He recalled how Mandela helped unite South Africa as it dismantled apartheid, the cruel system of white minority rule, and prepared for all-race elections in 1994. In those elections, Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison, became South Africa’s first black president.

North Koreans deport former US commander SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday deported an elderly U.S. tourist, apparently ending the saga of Merrill Newman’s return to the North six decades after he advised South Korean guerrillas still loathed by Pyongyang. North Korea made the decision because the 85-year-old Newman, who was detained since late October, apologized for his alleged crimes during the Korean War and because of his age and medical

condition, according to the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. “I am very glad to be on my way home,” a smiling Newman told reporters after arriving at the airport in Beijing from Pyongyang. “And I appreciate the tolerance the (North Korean) government has given me to be on my way.” “I feel good,” Newman said, adding with a laugh that the first thing he planned to do was “go home and see my wife.”

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who is traveling in Seoul, welcomed the release and said he talked by phone with Newman in Beijing, offering him a ride home on Air Force Two. Biden said Newman declined because of a direct flight to his home state of California later Saturday. Last month, Newman read from an awkwardly worded alleged confession that apologized for, among other things, killing North Koreans during the war.

A pedestrian crosses Brown Street amid a wintry landscape Friday morning in downtown Columbus, Ind. Several inches

meeting, neither side has shown optimism. Instead, the talks have been repeatedly marred by mistrust and finger-pointing. The Palestinians have accused Israel of negotiating in bad faith, pointing to continued Jewish settlement construction in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, lands captured by Israel in 1967 and sought by the Palestinians for their state. With roughly 550,000 Jews now living in these territories, the Palestinians say the chances of being able to divide the territory between the two peoples are running out. Plans to build more settlement homes have sparked a

series of crises in the talks. Kerry has said the construction raised questions about Israel’s commitment to peace, and the Palestinians have threatened to withdraw from the talks in protest. Mohammed Ishtayeh, a former negotiator, said he resigned last month after concluding that the gaps would never be bridged. “I found no partner in Israel in the talks and the Israelis are not serious. They came to talk just to avoid the international pressure and isolation,” he said. “All Israel wanted from these talks is to maintain the status quo.” Voices at home also have begun to question Netanyahu’s commitment

to peace. On Wednesday, Yuval Diskin, a former director of Israel’s Shin Bet internal security service, said time was running out for a peace deal. The alternative, he warned, was plunging into a single binational state in which Arabs ultimately outnumber Jews. As the man responsible for battling Palestinian militants for many years, Diskin’s comments carry added weight in security-obsessed Israel. “We need an agreement now, before we reach a point of no return from which the two-state solution is not an option any longer,” Diskin told the Geneva Initiative, an Israeli-Palestinian peace organization.

Ohio, wasn’t fazed by the snow and didn’t think it would affect turnout, at least not for Buckeyes fans. “We’re die-hards. We travel well,” he said. “Heat or snow, we’re there.” Crews worked to make sure travelers had clear paths, whether they were heading to Indianapolis for the game or elsewhere in the state. The state highway department said it had more than 600 trucks clearing and treating highways. Spokesman Harry Maginity said crews were able to keep most highways in good shape. “It looks like pretty wet snow, which means it’s

probably not going to be drifting,” he said. “If we had a drier snow, then the rural highways would be blowing shut.” The National Weather Service reported up to 10 inches of snow near Vincennes and more than 7 inches around Bloomington. About 5 inches fell near Columbus and Franklin, both along Interstate 65 south of Indianapolis. Indianapolis International Airport reported a handful of flight delays and cancellations, primarily to Texas and the East Coast. But the bigger issue for many travelers was de-icing. Some passengers reported waiting more than 90 minutes on the tarmac

for their planes to be de-iced. The storm was expected to leave behind frigid air with highs in the teens and 20s over coming days. The weather had some unexpected benefits for Chris Clifford, director of operations for St. Elmo’s Steakhouse in Indianapolis who was coordinating a contest as part of the Big Ten championship. About a dozen people were scheduled Saturday to see how many of the restaurant’s signature shrimp cocktails they could down. With the predicted temperatures, “We don’t have to ice the shrimp down,” Clifford said.

LAGRANGE — In a season that consists of 20 games or more, the first two games don’t define a season. But they sure are a good indicator of what’s ahead. “It’s unbelievable, it feels great,” said Lakeland senior Marco Olivares following Friday’s 73-49 victory over Fremont, moving Olivares the Lakers to 2-0 on the season. “It boosts our confidence a lot.” Olivares had 17 points in the win. Teammate Brant Betts led the Lakers with 24 points.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings made the most of their offensive opportunities against the New Jersey Devils on Friday. “It was a game that was offensively challenged by both teams,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said after his Red Wings beat the Devils 3-1. Johan Franzen and Tomas Tatar scored third-period goals Detroit, which has won five of six. Joakim Andersson also scored and Jonas Gustavsson made 10 saves for the Red Wings. “(The Red Wings have) to keep (winning). Tough without big guys but it’s important to see we can win without them,” Franzen said. “(It’s) big for us to see we can win without them.” Cory Schneider made 18 saves for New Jersey, which has lost three in a row. “We didn’t play our best game of the year,” Steve Bernier said. “There (are) a lot of bad things around right now, but we need to focus on the good things.”

year, but we can’t tolerate 21 turnovers in a game,” said Fremont coach Ted Bookwalter. “We’re going to learn and get better and we’ll find the right seven guys to rotate.” It was also just the second game for LaPlace as head coach at Lakeland. The Lakers beat East Noble 62-49 in their opener. In Friday’s game, LaPlace was going against the team he coached for nine seasons from 2000-09. “I love Ted Bookwalter, he was such a big help to me at Fremont,” said LaPlace. “It felt a little awkward, but I’m so in love with Lakeland that tonight they were just an opponent.” The Lakers scored the final eight points of the opening half to build a double-digit lead by the break. “We came out stronger than last

TOPEKA — Early season rust aside, Westview put its potency on display Friday night inside a packed and loud gymnasium. Westview’s inside-outside tandem of guard Jordyn Bontrager and forward Chandler Aspy finished with 21 and 20 points, respectively, and the Warriors flexed their defensive muscle in pushing back visiting Churubusco, 62-48. Westview improves to 2-1 (1-0 in the Northeast Corner Conference), while the Eagles fall to 0-2 (0-1 NECC). “We definitely looked ‘early-season’ as far as playing in spurts,” said Warriors coach Rob Yoder. “We’d play well in spurts then we had moments where we weren’t very disciplined and made a lot of mistakes, but a lot of that’s early season and a lot of our kids haven’t been with us the whole time. We’re trying $

New Jersey Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky (2), of the Czech Republic, and Detroit Red Wings right wing Daniel Cleary compete for the puck during the first period of Friday’s NHL game. The Red Wings won 3-1.

The Red Wings finished with 21 shots while the Devils only had 11. The 11 shots tied a New Jersey franchise record for fewest shots in a home game. “We didn’t cash in (on) some of our chances. We have to be opportunistic. We have to find a way to score two or three and we didn’t do that,” New Jersey coach Pete DeBoer said.

“It’s easy to look at the shot clock and say that (11 shots on goal is not enough). We’ve generated 21 shots and generated the same amount of scoring chances. (If the shot clock says) 21, you feel better about it? It doesn’t matter.” Andy Greene scored for the Devils. Franzen snapped a 1-1 tie when he scored his ninth of the

to improve, we’re trying to get better and we feel like we’re going to do that. Early December is the beginning, not the end.” The game itself couldn’t have started better for Yoder’s team. Westview jumped out to an 18-10 lead after the first eight minutes largely on Aspy’s short-range jumper. Aspy scored 10 points in the first quarter, working hard inside then rising over his defender for clean shots. The second and third quarters played more even, and written with defense. Baskets were hard to come by, with the post on both ends a murderer’s row of banging bodies and swatting arms. By the fourth quarter, Bontrager took over for Westview, running repeated one-on-one isolation plays that had him pulling up for jumpers almost at-will. Bontrager drained two late three-pointers to key the clutch run for the Warriors.

On the other end, though, the Eagles used anybody and everybody to score. Churubusco climbed within four points of the Warriors before Westview recovered and closed out the game. “Basketball is a game of runs,” said Yoder. “But we feel like our defense gives us our best chance to win. We have to play well on the defensive end for our offense to have a chance to make a few shots. I thought our defense was okay. We missed a few check outs and we left some guys open in transition. So even on the defensive end, although not terrible, we have a ways to go.” Senior guard Jamar Weaver added 10 points for Westview, with 6-3 athlete Judah Zickafoose chipping in seven. Churubusco was led by junior Blake Gross’ 12 points. Junior Alex Turnbow came off the bench to score 10 points.

season with 7:20 left in the third. Standing in the low slot, Franzen poked a Gustav Nyquist pass past Schneider. “It’s always hard to defend when you change sides for the defender so I tried and sneak around the back post and found it through the crease,” Franzen said of his goal. New Jersey led 1-0 at the first intermission.

week,” Olivares said. The contest was tight early on, with each squad connecting three times from behind the 3-point arc in the first period. Wade Regadanz, Tony LaRose and Justin Papenbrock each connected on 3-pointers for the Eagles, while Betts hit twice and Eric Herber hit once for Lakeland. “I’m happy with our 3-point shooting and our free throw shooting,” Bookwalter said. “But the main issue is clearly turnovers. It was the same in the game with Blackhawk.” That showed in the second period. Lakeland took a slim 18-16 lead into the period, then held the Eagles to only one field goal in the second quarter, a bucket by Papenbrock.

“Betts, he gave us really good minutes off the bench,” said Lakeland coach Scott LaPlace. It was the second game of the season for both teams. “We’re still a work in progress, still getting used to everything,” said LaPlace. “It’s going to take a while, but these guys pick up things very quickly. “We’re positive, but trying to keep things in perspective, we’ve Betts still got to get better.” The Eagles fell to 0-2.

ANGOLA â€” Angola High Schoolâ€™s boys basketball team defeated Central Noble 64-41 in the Northeast Corner Conference opener for both teams Friday night. The Hornets (2-0, 1-0 NECC) led 26-15 at halftime, then started the third quarter strong to put the game out of reach. They went on to outscore the Cougars 22-11 in that stanza to take a 48-26 lead into the fourth quarter. Angola shot 47 percent from the field (23-49) and made 78 percent of its free throws (14-18). It held Central Noble (0-2, 0-1) to 36 percent shooting from the field (16-44) and outrebounded the Cougars 32-23. The Hornets had 15 assists from their 23 made field goals. Senior forward Justin Davis had 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead AHS. Junior guard Craig Nofziger added 14 points. Senior guards Aaron Lloyd and Kent Kohart each had six points and six boards.

LAKERS: Riehl, Lozano lead Lakeland to JV win FROM PAGE B1

Turnovers killed the Eagles in the period. Fremont did get five free throws from Beams, but by the half the Lakers had taken their lead to 11 points. The Eagles went without any points the final four minutes of the half. Meanwhile, Betts made 6-of-7 free throws and the Lakers also got a basket from Olivares. The Lakeland margin was 34-23 at the break. Olivares opened the second half on fire, hitting three buckets for the Lakers and also coming away with some key steals. Late in the third period the Lakers took their margin to twenty points, at 50-30, following a score by Mynhier on a long pass from Olivares. The score was 52-31 entering the final stanza

and Lakeland extended the margin to 25 points before a minute passed in the fourth quarter to erase any hopes the Eagles might have of a rally. Regadanz led the Eagles with 13 points. Alex Beams added 12 points. â€œThey did a really nice job on Alex Beams,â€? Bookwalter said. â€œThey really focused on him.â€? Also scoring for the Eagles were Papenbrock (5 points), LaRose (5), Tyler Meyer (5), Logan Peel (4), Logan Pentecost (2), Colton Howe (2) and Caleb Presley (1). Beams and LaRose each had six rebounds. Along with the scoring from Olivares and Betts, the Lakers had scoring from Chandler Mynhier (13), Tanner Oakley (8), Eric Herber (5), Dustin Cunningham (2), Daemyn Priestley (2), Josh Collyer

(2), Joseph Trost (2) and Jacob Hendrix (1). The Eagles begin a string of three home games on Tuesday against Garrett. Fremont will play host to Hamilton on Dec. 14 and will take on Lakewood Park on Dec. 19. The Fremont girls will join the boys for a doubleheader for the contest with Hamilton. After two home games, the Lakers will take to the road for the first time on Tuesday at Fairfield in another Northeast Corner Conference game. Theyâ€™ll follow that with a nonconference meeting at Bethany Christian. Lakeland JV 42, Fremont 32 Dustin Riehl and Cole Lozano each had eight points for the Lakeland JV in its 42-32 victory. Logan Miller led Fremont with a game-high 17 points and six rebounds.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Petersen leaves Boise for UW SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen is headed to Washington after finally being persuaded to leave Boise State. Petersen agreed to become the Huskies’ new football coach on Friday, leaving behind an unprecedented run of success with the Broncos. The Huskies made the announcement Friday morning after Petersen reportedly met with Washington athletic director Scott Woodward on Thursday night in Boise. The decision was first reported by ESPN. Petersen met with his Boise State players Friday morning before the announcement was made. “Coach Petersen’s success and record are extraordinary, but even more impressive is the man himself,” Woodward said in a statement released by the school. “His integrity, work ethic and character make him an outstanding fit and leader of our student-athletes at UW. We are thrilled and proud to call Coach Petersen a Husky.” Petersen will replace Steve Sarkisian, who went 34-29 in five seasons at Washington before leaving earlier this week to take the job at USC. Petersen was 92-12 in his eight seasons at Boise State, turning the Broncos into a national program with two Fiesta Bowl titles. But he’s coming off the worst regular season in his tenure with the Broncos after going 8-4.

Texans fire coach Gary Kubiak HOUSTON (AP) — Houston fired coach Gary Kubiak on Friday, one day after the Texans lost 27-20 at Jacksonville for their 11th straight loss to continue their stunning fall for a team that expected to make a Super Bowl run. Houston (2-11) was flagged 14 times for a franchise-record 177 yards. Kubiak, 52, was hired in 2006 and led the team to back-to-back AFC South titles in 2011-2012 during his eight-year tenure as coach of his hometown NFL team. The Texans said they couldn’t wait any longer to start turning things around, not with the losses and undisciplined play piling up.

The first week of December has certainly been a pleasant one, but starting this weekend, winter will come upon us full force with cold. While I can handle the snow, it is the cold temperatures that always chill me more. While a lot of people still use propane to heat their ELYSIA homes, wood RODGERS burners have certainly gained a good deal of popularity in the last 10 years. Ward Upham from Kansas State University has provided some great information on how much heat each type of wood can produce. Not all firewood is created equal. Some species of trees are able to produce much more heat per cord of wood. A cord is the amount of wood in a well-stacked woodpile measuring 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 4 feet high. If you are trying to figure out how much a cord would look like, it would take 2.6 truckloads of a full-size, short box truck (level with the top of the box) to equal one cord of firewood.

Osage Orange is a very hard and decay resistant wood that burns very hot. It was used by the Osage Indians to make bows and was widely planted in hedge rows during the dust bowl to control wind erosion.

post oak 25.6, osage orange 32.6, black walnut 21.8, apple 25.8, cherry 20.0, norway pine 17.1, white spruce 18.1. So for a hotter heat, you would want to aim for the osage orange and black locust firewood. Remember to try to cut your firewood locally, and if you do need to cross state lines, make sure the wood is not quarantined by checking with the local DNR.

The amount of heat a cord of wood can produce is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTUâ€™s. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. One BTU is equal to 1,055 Joules or 252 calories. Following are heat values (in million BTUâ€™s) per cord for various species of tree. The higher the value, the better the wood: green ash 22.8, cottonwood 15.9, American elm 19.8, hackberry 21.0, honeylocust 25.6, black locust 28.3, sugar maple 24.0, silver maple 18.9, mulberry 25.3, red oak 24.0, bur oak 24.9,

Economist challenges idea of aging farmer crisis DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) â€” Agriculture economists have long warned that farmers are getting old and staying on their land longer, delaying the turnover to a younger generation. But an Ohio State University professor argues that those fears are overstated and the United States likely will have little problem replacing aging farmers as long as business is good, as it has been for the past decade. Others arenâ€™t so sure, saying while they agree with OSU agriculture economist Carl Zulaufâ€™s assessment that concerns about the unquestionably aging farmer population remain valid and create uncertainty about who will produce the nationâ€™s crops in the future. â€œI think what he said is absolutely right,â€? Iowa State University economics professor Mike Duffy said. â€œI think the conclusion heâ€™s drawing though is not necessarily the correct one.â€? Zulauf contends that just like in the 1970s, farm prosperity will draw more young workers into farming. And prosperous the business is: This year, net income from U.S. farms is expected to reach a record $131 billion. Farm wealth has also reached record levels, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with farm asset values rising 7 percent this year to a record

Mom slow to address girl’s excess weight DEAR ABBY: I’m 12 and weigh 204 pounds. I feel really fat and I want to go on a diet, but my mom won’t let me. I’m getting bad grades in gym class and need your help. — SAD GIRL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR SAD GIRL: By recognizing that you have a problem that you can’t deal with on your own, you have already taken an important first step in resolving it. The next is to talk to your gym teacher about this and enlist her aid in convincing your mother to give you the help you need. Childhood obesity is rampant in this country, and all those extra pounds could negatively affect your health — not only now, but in the future. If you have a pediatrician, the doctor may be able to discuss the importance of a healthy diet and exercise program for you with your mom.

If he wants to know why you haven’t brought the young man around, tell him it’s because you know how he would react.

Weight-loss drugs not for mildly overweight weight loss in different ways. A drug called orlistat reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from the food you eat. Other drugs suppress your appetite, help you feel full and ramp up your metabolism.

changes: metformin, pramlintide, exenatide, liraglutide. It’s ironic that the names of each of the drugs that can help with weight loss are themselves quite a mouthful. When deciding whether to recommend weight-loss drugs to my patients, I consider their body mass index (BMI). BMI estimates a healthy weight based on height. You should consider taking a weight-loss drug only if you: • Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or • Have a BMI of 27 or higher and also have one or more weight-related health problems, such as Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Before you start a weightloss drug, consider why you overeat. For example, do you overeat because of stress, bad habits or emotional issues? If so, you may benefit less from medication and more from psychotherapy or behavioral

DEAR DOCTOR K: Should I take a weight-loss drug to help me lose weight? DEAR READER: If you are only mildly overweight or just want to lose a few pounds to improve your appearance, then weight-loss drugs are not for you. On the other hand, if your health is at risk and you haven’t been able to lose weight through diet and exercise, drug therapy may increase your chance of success. There are a handful of FDA-approved weight-loss drugs on the market today. One is available over-thecounter; the others are prescription only. When I was a medical student, virtually none of them were available. The growing epidemic of obesity has led to the development of many drugs that can be helpful. None is a “magic bullet”; none melts the fat off of you while you’re watching TV. These drugs promote

You will need the help of other adults to make her understand if she can’t see that you need help now.

therapy. On the other hand, if you overeat because of hunger, then weight-loss drugs are more likely to help. Over the years, several weight-loss drugs have been taken off the market because of safety concerns. It can take time, and lots of people taking a new drug, before any safety issues become apparent. Most of the drugs now available have not been on the market very long, so talk to your doctor about your individual risks and benefits. Finally, bear in mind that you should use weight-loss drugs only in combination with diet and physical activity. To lose weight over the long term, you need to recognize and change the behaviors that led to your weight gain. Otherwise, any weight you lose is likely to return. DR.

Saudi militants staged deadly assault in Yemen ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Saudi militants were behind the massive car bombing and assault on Yemen’s military headquarters that killed more than 50 people, including foreigners, investigators said in a preliminary report released Friday. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens of the terror network’s leaders. The attack — the deadliest in Sanaa since May 2012 — marked an escalation in the terror network’s battle to undermine the U.S.-allied government and destabilize the impoverished Arab nation despite the drone strikes and a series of U.S.-backed military offensive against it. U.S. forces also have

been training and arming Yemeni special forces, and exchanging intelligence with the central government. Military investigators described a two-stage operation, saying heavily armed militants wearing army uniforms first blew up a car packed with 500 kilograms (more than 1,100 pounds) of explosives near an entrance gate, then split into groups that swept through a military hospital and a laboratory, shooting at soldiers, doctors, nurses, doctors and patients. Officials earlier said 11 militants were killed, including the suicide bomber who drove the car. It was not clear if the 12th attacker was captured or escaped. The investigative committee led by Yemen’s Chief of Staff Gen. Ahmed

al-Ashwal, said militants shot the guards outside the gates of the military hospital, allowing the suicide bomber to drive the car inside, but a gunfight forced him to detonate his explosives before reaching his target. It said the 12 militants killed, included Saudis. Two military officials told The Associated Press that wounded soldiers had told them the assailants who stormed the hospital separated out the foreigners and shot everybody in the head. Other military officials said American security agents were helping with the investigations, but that could not be confirmed. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief reporters. Yemeni commandos and other security forces

besieged the militants before they could reach the ministry’s main building, preventing them from going further than the ministry’s entrance gate. All the attackers were killed by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the committee. Yemeni security forces launched a manhunt in the capital to find the perpetrators, sparking gunbattles that killed five suspected militants and a Yemeni commando, officials said. The committee, which sent its report to Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, did not explain how it came to its conclusions The report was read on state TV and a copy was obtained by The Associated Press. Hadi met Friday with the U.N. envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar to discuss the attack. He said

that “a number of assailants have been arrested,” without elaborating. He added that the “criminals will not escape justice.” The report also raised the death toll to 56 and said more than 200 people were wounded. The foreigners killed included two aid workers from Germany, two doctors from Vietnam, two nurses from the Philippines and a nurse from India, according to Yemen’s Supreme Security Commission. But a spokesman for the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs, Raul Hernandez, said Friday that seven Filipinos were killed in the attack, including a doctor and nurses, while 11 others were wounded. The victims were among 40 Filipino workers in the hospital. Hernandez

said that the Philippines’ honorary consul reported that the others survived by pretending to be dead. It was not immediately possible to reconcile the conflicting accounts. But officials from the military hospital said Friday that at least 10 foreigners had been killed. Germany’s foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer also announced Friday that German employees of aid groups doing work on behalf of the German government have been ordered to leave Yemen “as quickly as possible” and “until further notice.” Schafer also said the German embassy will continue to operate with reduced staff and “corresponding security measures.”
