Woman to Noble judge: ‘Shut up!’ Defendant directs vulgarity at jurist after sentence handed down BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — When a Fort Wayne woman was ordered to serve a year in jail Friday in Noble Superior Court I, she cursed at the judge, told him to shut up and said she wished someone would blow up the Noble County Courthouse. Jasmin Balser, 22, was found to have violated her probation on a charge of residential entry and was ordered taken into custody when she began her brief verbal tirade. After Noble Superior Court I Judge Robert Kirsch ordered Balser to serve one year in prison for violating probation, she directed
a vulgar expression at him. When Kirsch told her to be quiet, she shouted, “Shut up!� at him. Kirsch told Balser that if she continued, he would increase her sentence to two years in prison. She quieted down until Noble County Balser Courthouse security arrived to handcuff her and take her into custody. When that happened, after her hearing was concluded, she said she wished someone would blow up the
courthouse. Balser, who chose to represent herself in Friday’s hearing, previously had admitted to violating probation by being convicted on a misdemeanor charge of conversion in Allen County, failing to complete required evaluations and failing to complete the community service component of her sentence. While Balser claimed she had completed 16 of the 80 hours of community service she was required to perform, she had completed none of it by the March 2013 deadline for doing so, Noble County Prosecutor Steven T. Clouse said.
Economy report weak Hiring falls sharply in final month of ’13 WASHINGTON (AP) — It came as a shock: U.S. employers added just 74,000 jobs in December, far fewer than anyone expected. This from an economy that had been adding nearly three times as many for four straight months — a key reason the Federal Reserve decided last month to slow its economic stimulus. So what happened in December? Economists struggled for explanations: Unusually cold weather. A statistical quirk. A temporary halt in steady job growth. Blurring the picture, a wave of Americans stopped looking for work, meaning they were no longer counted as unemployed. Their exodus cut the unemployment rate from 7 percent to 6.7 percent — its lowest point in more than five years. Friday’s weak report from the Labor Department was particularly surprising because it followed a flurry of data that had pointed to a robust economy: U.S. companies are selling record levels of goods overseas. Americans are spending more on big purchases like cars and appliances. Layoffs have dwindled. Consumer confidence is up and debt levels are down. Builders broke ground in November on the most new homes in five years. “The disappointing jobs report flies in the face of most recent economic data, which are pointing to a pretty strong fourth quarter,� said Sal Guatieri, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. It’s unclear whether the sharp hiring slowdown might lead the Federal Reserve to rethink its plan to slow its stimulus efforts. The
Earlier in Friday’s hearing, Balser showed no warning signs of her outburst. Her tone sounded calm and measured until Kirsch ordered her to serve one year of her suspended sentence and to be taken into custody immediately. Kirsch could have ordered Balser to serve the entire 720 suspended days on her sentence — 10 days short of two years in prison. Balser was on probation for her 2012 conviction on a charge of residential entry, a Class D felony. She was sentenced at that time to two years in prison with 10 days to be served and 720 suspended and on probation.
Overpass to remain on S.R. 9 BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
ROME CITY — A proposal to remove an overpass on S.R. 9 near Rome City is no longer under consideration by the Indiana Department of Transportation, an INDOT staff member confirmed Friday. The Northport Road overpass will remain in place and will not become an at-grade crossing, said Benjamin B. Shaffer, INDOT Fort Wayne District technical services director.

Equivalency Diploma replaces GED format BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — Out with the old and in with the new. The General Education Development exam (GED), introduced in 1942, has been replaced by the Indiana High School Equivalency Diploma. The changeover began at the start of this month, and GED instruction providers and testing centers including IMPACT Institute, formerly Four County Vocational Cooperative, have been preparing for the new assessment. Stephanie Ross, Impact Institute’s adult education coordinator, said the institute has been
proactive since institute officials learned the GED would end. Instructors have attended professional development sessions about preparing students for the new test. IMPACT Institute, a vocational cooperative based in Kendallville, offers adult education programs in northeast Indiana as well as vocational programs to students from 11 school districts in Noble, DeKalb, LaGrange and Steuben counties. Students enrolled in GED programs who failed to complete the test by the end of 2013 must start over with the new equivalency diploma. IMPACT marketed SEE DIPLOMA, PAGE A6

The LaGrange County Habitat for Humanity is celebrating the completion of its 23rd project today by hosting an open house from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.,
including a dedication ceremony. The home, located at 701 N. Sixth St., Howe, was remodeled by the group, its first ever remodeling project.
Habitat’s difficult remodeling job gives Howe family home BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com
HOWE — Some things are indeed easier said than done. Remodeling a 160-yearold house, for example, and turning it into a home for a family of five, was not as easy a task as first hoped, said Mont Arnold, executive director of LaGrange County Habitat for Humanity. But that is exactly what his organization did, and Arnold and a crew of nearly 125 volunteers saw it through to complete their newest Habitat home. To celebrate that good news, Habitat is hosting an open house, throwing open the doors at 701 N. Sixth St. in Howe. The party starts today at 11 a.m. The dedication ceremony is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. And once all the celebrating is over, new homeowner Bill Dingley and his four children will be moving in. This project was a new experience for the LaGrange County Habitat organization. It was the first time the group tackled remodeling an older existing home instead of building a new home
from the ground up. “This was really hard. The challenge of remodeling a home, particularly an older home, this was really hard,” Arnold said. “The good news is we’ve accomplished our goals, so when you step back and look at the big picture, that’s the important issue here.” Arnold praised the quality of the workmanship his team of volunteers put into the structure, a building Arnold once said probably wouldn’t have lasted another five years without help. The structure got a new roof and windows, new insulation and siding, new kitchen and walls. This however, is not the last time Habitat will tackle a home remodel. With the number of existing houses on the market, remodeling seems to be a logical process for Habitat. Its next two projects are already on the schedule, and both are home remodels in the southeast corner of LaGrange County. “I don’t see this next project as being as difficult as this home. It isn’t the square footage of the Howe home. I think it’s going
to be an easier remodel,” Arnold explained. “I think home remodel has its own unique story to tell, and that’s the difficulty in remodeling, and it’s a matter of what each home will give you, or won’t give you, in terms of a remodel. We’re just house one into this, and it will be interesting to see how the next two projects will go.” Though Arnold said Habitat will build another new stick-built home once the organization finishes its next two remodeling projects, he said this Howe project generated a lot of new interest in Habitat, with some volunteers coming all the way from Fort Wayne just to work on the Howe home. Arnold said the Howe community also stepped forward to help with this project, as well as many members of Shore Mennonite Church. For Bill Dingley, Howe’s newest homeowner, Arnold said he and his family are extremely excited to finally be moving into their new home. “It’s going to be a glorious celebration,” Arnold said.

Sheriff warns of telephone scam LAGRANGE — LaGrange County Sheriff Terry Martin is warning local residents of a telephone scam that is making the rounds in northeast Indiana. Martin said Friday that citizens report the scam involves receiving a phone call from someone claiming
to be child or grandchild who is in jail and needs bail money. The person on the phone asks the potential victim to get a money gram at Walmart or Western Union and send it to an address. “This is not legit,” Martin said. “If you receive a call like this, verify
who you are talking to by asking personal questions that your relative would know (siblings, address, phone number, etc.) Also, if possible, obtain a name and call-back number of the person calling. Do not send money to someone that you do not know. If you receive a phone call like this, please contact the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department at 463-7491. A DeKalb County resident also reported a similar scam in which the caller posed as a grandchild who had been in an automobile accident and needed money.
ALBION — Three people were booked into the Noble County Jail Thursday, the county sheriff’s department said. • Nicolas J. Daniels, 21, of Butler was booked on a warrant charging him with possession of a synthetic drug. • Clint T. Renfrow, 56, of Butler was booked on a check deception warrant. • Michele Marie Ward, 55, of Orland was booked on a warrant for an alleged probation violation on an underlying conviction for possession of cocaine or a narcotic drug.
Pickup hits car LIGONIER — A pickup struck a car Jan. 4, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said. Landon T. Stover, 18, of Ligonier was southbound on U.S. 33 near Kavika Drive, Ligonier, at 10:45 a.m. behind a southbound 2004 Ford Taurus driven by Dennis R. Christy, 62, of Hastings, Mich. When Christy started to turn left into a private drive, Stover had to swerve the 2006 Dodge Dakota he drove to keep from hitting the rear of the car. The pickup struck the car on the driver’s side. No injuries were reported. Damage was estimated at $5,001-$10,000. Stover’s failure to yield was the primary cause of the accident, deputies said.
SUV collides with deer AVILLA — A sport-utility vehicle driven by John R. Mace, 31, of Cromwell collided with a deer on Baseline Road near C.R. 700E Jan. 3 at 7:30 p.m. No injuries were reported.
Woman misses deer, hits tree ROME CITY — A woman who swerved her pickup to miss a deer hit a tree instead, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said. Kay E. Curtis, 60, of LaOtto was on S.R. 9 near C.R. 900N Jan. 4 at 6:20 p.m. when she swerved her 2010 Chevy K-2500 to avoid two deer in the road. The pickup left the road and hit a tree before she could stop. No injuries were reported. Damage was estimated at $5,001$10,000.
Correction • Report reversed position of cars KENDALLVILLE — An Auburn man’s car was struck from behind in a collision Jan. 4 on U.S. 6 near the Wood Street intersection, Kendallville police reported. Dennis L. Orr, 28, of Auburn was driving a 2006 Kia Sorrento eastbound. He had slowed for a turning vehicle when his car was hit from behind by a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. Police estimated total damage at $1,000 to $2,500. Due to an incorrect narrative in a police report, a story in Friday’s edition reversed the position of the cars.
Two brothers rescued from family’s grain bin GRABILL (AP) — Firefighters rescued two brothers who became stuck while working inside a grain bin at their family’s northeastern Indiana farm. Fort Wayne assistant fire chief Ron Privett said a 17-year-old was buried up to his neck Thursday evening and crews needed several hours to free him.
His 21-year-old brother was buried to his knees and was quickly freed. Neighbor Howard Dager told WANE-TV the two had been working with their father all day hauling grain. Fire officials say the brothers were trying to free up some of the grain in the bin, which was about three-quarters full.

A hand-tied blanket makes the perfect gift for young and old alike.
Hand-tied fleece blankets make gifts for every age Fleece blankets are a wonderful and welcome gift to make for babies, children and adults, alike. The variety of fleece material available allows you to customize blankets to anyone’s taste or interests. Best of all, no sewing skills are necessary. You can make a blanket out of two panels of fleece by cutting and tying the edges together for a fringe or “tied” blanket. Things you’ll need • 2 panels of fleece • Fabric scissors • Cardboard square • Ruler or tape measure Choose two pieces of fleece. You can choose two pieces that are the same pattern, two different patterns, two plain colors or a pattern on one side and a plain color on the other. Measure off lengths of each panel appropriate for the person you are making the blanket for. Recommended measurements are as follows: 1 to 1 1/2 yards of each fabric for a baby or toddler blanket; 1 1/2 to 2 yards of each fabric for a child’s blanket; 2 yards or more of each fabric for a teenager or adult blanket. Align one piece of fleece atop the other on a

• flat surface. Trim off any selvage so both pieces of fabric match. Try to cut in a relatively straight line, but it doesn’t need to be perfect. Measure and cut out a 4-inch or 3-inch square of cardboard or heavy paper. This will be the length of the blanket fringe prior to tying. If you would like longer or shorter fringe, use a larger or smaller cardboard square. Line up your cardboard square with a corner of your fabric. Using the square as a template, cut through both pieces of fleece around the square. Repeat with all four corners. Lay your ruler or tape measure along the edge of the fleece and mark 1-inch intervals. Use fabric chalk to mark, or
cut a little ways through both pieces of fabric at each 1-inch interval. You may also simply eyeball the intervals if you have an experienced eye. Cut the fringe at your 1-inch intervals along all four sides of the blanket. The depth of the fringe should match the depth of the corners. Make the blanket fringe by taking aligned pieces of fringe from each piece of fabric. Tie square knots or double overhand knots. Complete one side of your blanket, and then each of the remaining three sides. Using square knots or double overhand knots prevents the blanket from coming apart in the wash. If you will have to move your blanket before it is complete, or if you are afraid the fabric will become misaligned, you may wish to hold the fleece pieces together with a few straight pins placed a few inches in from the edges once you have the edges aligned. If using a patterned fabric, be sure the correct side of the fleece is facing outward prior to tying your fringe. The outside is typically fuzzier and more colorful.

Former Reagan spokesman Larry Speakes dies at 74 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Larry Speakes, who spent six years as acting press secretary for President Ronald Reagan, died Friday in his native Mississippi. He was 74. Speakes died at home in Cleveland, Miss., where he had lived the past several years, said Bolivar County Coroner Nate Brown. Brown said Speakes had Alzheimer’s disease. “He died in his sleep and it was a natural death,” Brown said. Speakes was buried in North Cleveland Cemetery during a private service Friday morning, a few hours after dying, said Kenny Williams of Cleveland Funeral Home. Speakes became Reagan’s acting spokesman after Press Secretary James Brady was wounded during an assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981. Republican Haley Barbour, who served as Mississippi governor from 2004 to 2012, was political director of the Reagan White House when Speakes worked there. He said

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Philadelphia Daily News sportswriter and columnist Bill Conlin, whose long career came to an end following multiple allegations of child Conlin abuse, has died. He was 79. The Hall of Fame baseball writer and author died Thursday in Largo, Fla., The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News reported. Conlin’s son, Pete, confirmed his father’s death in a text message, NJ.com said. Conlin retired in 2011 following allegations that he had abused four children decades ago. Three other accusers later came forward. Authorities said no criminal charges would be pursued because the alleged abuse occurred so long ago. Conlin worked at the newspaper for more than four decades, starting in 1965 and becoming the beat writer for the

Phillies the next year. He held that job for 21 years and became a columnist in 1987. He also was a commentator on ESPN’s “The Sports Reporters” and wrote two baseball-related books, the “Rutledge Book of Baseball” and “Batting Cleanup, Bill Conlin.” He received the 2011 J.G. Taylor Spink Award presented at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and is honored in the hall’s “Scribes and Mikemen” exhibit. Daily News managing editor Pat McLoone acknowledged that Conlin’s career ended in disgrace but called his writing “often brilliant.” “At a time before the Internet and sports-only TV channels, Bill Conlin’s coverage in the Daily News was the primary source of information and analysis for a generation of Phillies fans,” he said. Conlin died in the Largo Medical Center, to which he had been admitted with multiple illnesses, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and a colon infection, the Daily News reported.

believe I’ll go,’” Speakes said. “And had it not been in that one split second, I would have been exactly where Jim Brady was at that moment an hour or so later. … It’s not a day goes by that I don’t think about that.” After Speakes resigning his White House job in 1987, Speakes worked for Merrill Lynch in New York. Speakes left the Merrill Lynch job after he wrote in his memoir, “Speaking Out,” that he had fabricated quotes for President Reagan while working for him. He returned to Washington in 1988 and worked in public relations for Northern Telecom and the U. S. Postal Service, retiring in 2008. Speakes grew up in Merigold, Miss., and graduated from the University of Mississippi. He worked for two Mississippi newspapers, the Oxford
Eagle and the Bolivar Commercial, before going to Washington in 1968 as press secretary for U.S. Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss. In 1974, Speakes worked as press secretary for the special counsel to President Richard Nixon during the Watergate hearings. After Nixon resigned, Speakes became assistant press secretary for President Gerald Ford. Speakes worked as press secretary for Ford’s vice presidential running mate, Bob Dole, during the 1976 campaign. After Democrat Jimmy Carter won the election, he moved to the Hill and Knowlton public relations firm in Washington. Speakes worked for Reagan’s transition team after Reagan won the 1980 election, then became deputy press secretary under Brady. Speakes is survived by a daughter, Sandy Speakes Huerta of Cleveland, Miss; sons Scott Speakes of Cleveland, Miss., and Jeremy Speakes of Clifton, Va.; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Friday that it wasn’t unusual to have tension between the political office and the press office, but he and Speakes had a good working relationship. Barbour said that within the Reagan administration, people generally admired Speakes’ handling of the press, although Speakes could be abrupt. “Sometimes, that meant reporters didn’t get everything they wanted, and sometimes it meant they didn’t get anything,” Barbour said Friday. “But, Larry knew who he worked for.” Weeks after leaving his White House job in 1987, Speakes said during a speech at East Texas State University that he often thought about the day Reagan, Brady and two others were wounded when John Hinckley Jr. opened fire. “Shortly before the president left that day to go the Hilton Hotel to make a speech, I said to Jim, ‘Do you want to go with the president, or would you like me to go?’ And he said, ‘I

In this December 2013 file photo, a passer-by walks near an entrance to a Target retail store in Watertown, Mass. Target says that personal information — including phone numbers and email and mailing addresses — was stolen from as many as 70 million customers in its preChristmas data breach.
Target: Breach affected millions more customers NEW YORK (AP) — Target’s pre-Christmas security breach was significantly more extensive and affected millions more shoppers than the company reported last month. The nation’s second largest discounter said Friday that hackers stole personal information — including names, phone numbers as well as email and mailing addresses — from as many as 70 million customers as part of a data breach it discovered in December. Target Corp. disclosed last month that about 40 million credit and debit cards may have been affected by a data breach that happened between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 — just as the holiday shopping season was getting into gear. According to new information gleaned from its investigation with the Secret Service and the Department of Justice, Target said Friday that criminals also took non-credit card related data for some 70 million shoppers who could have made purchases at Target stores outside the late Nov. to
mid-Dec. timeframe. Some overlap exists between the two data sets, the company said Friday. “I know that it is frustrating for our guests to learn that this information was taken and we are truly sorry they are having to endure this,” said Gregg Steinhafel, Target chairman, president and CEO, in a statement. While Target investors have been largely unmoved, the incident has shaken shoppers. The company’s stock has traded at about $63 since news of the breach leaked on Dec. 18. It slipped just 67 cents, or 1 percent, to $62.67 in morning trading Friday. Target revealed on Friday, however, that the breach diminished holiday sales. The company cut its forecast for fourth-quarter earnings, a key sales barometer. The theft from Target’s databases is still the second largest data breach on record, rivalling an incident uncovered in 2007 that saw more than 90 million credit card accounts pilfered from TJX Cos. Inc.

Same-sex marriages recognized Documents show SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Obama administration extended federal recognition to the marriages of more than 1,000 same-sex couples in Utah that took place before the Supreme Court put those unions in the state on hold. The action will enable the government to extend eligibility for federal benefits to these couples. That means gay and lesbian couples can file federal taxes jointly, get Social Security benefits for spouses and request legal immigration status for partners. Attorney General Eric Holder said the families should not be asked to endure uncertainty regarding their benefits while courts decide the issue of same-sex marriage in Utah. The decision came days after Utah officials said they would not recognize the marriages. The office of Gov. Gary Herbert told state agencies this week to
put a freeze on proceeding with any new benefits for the newly married gay and lesbian couples until the courts sort out the matter. In a statement Friday afternoon, Herbert’s office issued a statement that said Holder’s announcement was unsurprising, but state officers should comply with federal law if they’re providing federal services. Attorney General Sean Reyes did not have an immediate comment on Holder’s announcement. More than 1,000 gay and lesbian couples took home marriage licenses from local clerks after a federal judge overturned Utah’s same-sex marriage ban on Dec. 20. Utah voters approved the ban in 2004. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court put a halt to same-sex marriages in Utah while the Denverbased 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals considers the long-term question of whether gay couples have a right to marry in Utah.
angst for Christie
AP
Same-sex couples Natalie Dicou, left, and Nichole Christensen, middle left, and James Goodman, middle right, and Jeffrey Gomez, right, wait in line to get a marriage license at the Salt Lake County Clerk’s Office in Salt Lake City. The Obama administration gave federal recognition to more than 1,000 same-sex couples whose marriages were put on hold by a Supreme Court Ruling Monday.
State agencies aren’t supposed to revoke anything already issued, such as a marriage certificate or a driver’s license with a new name, but they are prohib-
ited from approving any new marriages or benefits. State officials said the validity of the marriages will ultimately be decided by the appeals court.
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Officials squabbled over media leaks and scrambled to control the publicity damage in the days after lane closings near the George Washington Bridge caused huge traffic jams that now appear to have been politically orchestrated by members of Gov. Chris Christie’s administration, documents released Friday show. In the documents, officials appointed by Christie seemed more concerned about the political fallout than the effects of the gridlock in the town of Fort Lee during four mornings in September. The thousands of pages were released by a New Jersey legislative committee investigating the scandal that could haunt Christie’s expected run for president in 2016. The documents mostly involve the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency that runs the bridge. Lawmakers are looking into allegations that Christie loyalists deliberately created the tie-ups to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Christie for re-election. The documents show that the traffic mess created tension between New York and New Jersey appointees at the Port Authority, with the New York side angrily countermanding the lane closings. In the correspondence, Port Authority chairman David Samson, a Christie appointee, suggested that the authority’s executive director, Patrick Foye, who was appointed by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, had leaked to a reporter an internal memo ordering an end to the lane closings. “We’re in your hometown�

OVERPASS: Proposed intersection’s safety doubted FROM PAGE A1
“wonderful.” Rome City Town Council President Dave Abbott agreed. “I’m very happy for that,” he said. Abbott said INDOT learned at the Oct. 28 meeting about several plans for the area of which the agency had not been aware. Once INDOT’s staff knew about them, it understood the bridge needed to stay in place, he said. Among the concerns were traffic coming to a new winery coming to the former
The
S Star
Sylvan Springs property, as well as other traffic directed there due to the Catholic Church’s use of the site, Abbott said. Also an issue were plans for a bike trail from Kendallville to Rome City to terminate in the vicinity of the winery, Abbott said. Another concern was a plan to make the location an at-grade intersection coming up a hill with a blind spot on S.R. 9, and with the two sides of the road intersecting at different points instead of directly across from each
other, Abbott said. “It would have created a dangerous intersection,” he said. At the Oct. 28 meeting, Shaffer said it would cost the state $400,000 to remove the bridge, but $700,000 to repair it. A repair also would translate into ongoing maintenance costs, he said. Abbott said state Rep. David Ober, R-Albion, and state Sen. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange, also played roles in helping resolve the issue.

Association of Adult and Continuing Education provided analysis of available testing options, according to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development website. In November, Indiana Department of Workforce Development Commissioner Scott B. Sanders announced Indiana would begin using the equivalency diploma. He said the new assessment will ensure Indiana offers a high school equivalency test that matches employer demand and is accessible. The Department of Workforce Development calls the new assessment the Indiana High School Equivalency Diploma, while CTB/McGraw-Hill refers to it as the Test Assessing Secondary Completion. Two proposals to replace the GED were not selected. The American Council on Education, owner of the GED, with its partner Pearson Vue Testing had submitted a proposal for an updated version of its GED costing $120. Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit organization that also administers the Graduate Record Examination, developed a high school equivalency exam called the High School Equivalency
its GED program and offered free GED classes encouraging those thinking about the GED to enroll and get tested by Dec. 31. Enrollment is now open at IMPACT Institute for its free equivalency diploma classes. The classes have not changed, just the preparation, said Ross. IMPACT operates testing centers in the four-county area, and the first test is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 21 and 22 in Topeka. People may call IMPACT adult education at 343-2163 to learn about enrollment information. Approximately 15,000 Hoosiers took the GED annually. An estimated 500,000 Hoosier adults lack high school diplomas. A panel of representatives from the Indiana Department of Corrections, the Indiana Department of Education and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development were involved in evaluating proposals from vendors and selecting the Indiana High School Equivalency Diploma developed by CTB/ McGraw-Hill, the same company that administers ISTEP testing for Indiana students. Ivy Tech and the Indiana
Test or HiSET. The cost for the Indiana High School Equivalency Diploma comprehensive assessment is $85 and $18 per subject for a retest. The seven-hour test will cover reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies. IMPACT Institute offers free preparatory classes. The test is offered both in computer-based format and pencil and paper. It’s available in English and Spanish, Braille and audio versions for the visually impaired. IMPACT Institute will be able to offer the test on computers in the next program year, Ross said. The new test is being described as more rigorous and better aligned with the skills needed for college and today’s workplaces. Indiana and at least eight other states — New York, New Hampshire, Missouri, Iowa, Montana, Louisiana, Maine and West Virginia — severed ties with the GED test. Three states — Wyoming, New Jersey and Nevada — will offer three tests. Ross said she is confident that IMPACT Institute’s adult educators are prepared for the new test.

KENDALLVILLE — It didn’t take long for Homestead to insert itself into the minds of East Noble’s girls basketball team. The Spartans pushed their way to the ball and pressured the Knights throughout the Northeast Hoosier Conference game Friday night in the Big Blue Pit. Homestead came out on top in the contest, 76-33. Homestead, which is ranked No. 5 in the most recent AP poll, took away 18 steals, forced 27 turnovers total, and out-rebounded the Knights 28-26. “(Homestead’s) aggressive and that’s how they play. The officials can’t call everything. We need to be more physical and that was something I talked about when I started last year,” EN coach
DeAnn Booth said. “We need to play more like that and be more physical with teams. We don’t need to be so finessey, we need to fight back. We can’t get back on our heels and let people take advantage of us. “I don’t want to take anything away from Homestead, they are a very good team, but I don’t think we played very well. We had almost as many turnovers as we did points. They shot the ball well and that is always tough to defend.” Josie Fisher took a steal the other way for Homestead to give the Spartans a 4-0 lead a minute and a half into the game before East Noble’s Kavan Edwards scored her team’s first points on an old-fashioned three-point play. That’s about as much as the
Spartans allowed, though, as the visitors finished the waning six minutes of the quarter on a 14-3 run. The lead was increased in the second quarter as East Noble struggled to find the bottom of the basket. The Knights went 11 minutes without a point scored. Jaymee Wolfe netted two with 1:40 remaining in the first to put the game at 13-6, but it wasn’t until 46-6 when East Noble struck again. Jacey Cauhorn sank a 3-pointer from the top of the key 1:35 into the third quarter to break the team’s shooting drought and she struck again approximately three minutes later with another, pushing East Noble into double digits.

LAGRANGE — Lakeland learned why West Noble’s boys basketball team hasn’t been beaten this season. “They’re really good shooters,” said Lakers coach Scott LaPlace, frankly. “That wasn’t anything we didn’t already know, though.” The Chargers stormed out to a 27-10 lead after the first eight minutes off five three-pointers and stuck with what worked the rest of the way, rolling Lakeland 72-55 to move to 8-0 on the year. Shooter Drew Schermerhorn scored 31 points and added eight rebounds to lead the charge. West Noble coach Jim Best said he came into the game a little nervous after his team was able to practice just once this week, expending a little rust on his normally-talented team. Instead, the Chargers torched the nets from outside. SchermerJAMES FISHER horn hit a three to start the basketball game.

West scores 20, leads Pacers past Washington INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — David West scored 20 points and C.J. Watson had 16, leading the Pacers to a 93-66 win over the Wizards. Indiana (29-7) used an 11-3 run in the third quarter to create separation from Washington. Two field goals from West capped off the swing, which put the Pacers up 56-40. Trying for their first four-game win streak on the road since February 2008, the Wizards (16-18) stumbled at the foul line. They finished 9 of 23 on free throws, hitting just five of their first 14. Washington lost to the Pacers for the 11th time in 12 tries and haven’t won at Indiana since April 18, 2007. Washington was led by Bradley Beal with 17 points. Hawks 83, Rockets 80 Kyle Korver scored 20 points, including four free throws in the final 16 seconds, and Atlanta fought off Houston’s late comeback. Paul Millsap also had 20 points for the Hawks, who earned their second straight impressive home win following a victory over Indiana on Wednesday night. James Harden led the Rockets with 25 points. Dwight Howard had 15 points and 11 rebounds. Houston rallied from an eight-point deficit with 11 straight points to lead 76-73 before Korver’s 3-pointer tied the game. Following a basket by Harden, DeMarre Carroll’s 3-pointer gave Atlanta a 79-78 lead. The Hawks didn’t trail again. Pistons 114, 76ers 104 Josh Smith had 22 points in an outstanding all-around game, Brandon Jennings made four 3-pointers in the second half and Detroit snapped a six-game losing streak with a comeback victory over Philadelphia. Five other players scored in double figures for the Pistons, who averaged just 88.8 points during their
skid. Jennings had 18 of his 19 points in the second half. Kyle Singler and Will Bynum each had 16 off the bench. Thaddeus Young scored 22 points for the Sixers, who have lost three straight after reeling off four consecutive road wins. Detroit outrebounded the Sixers 62-42, tying the arena record for offensive rebounds with 25. The 76ers said Smith became the third player in NBA history with 22 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and four steals in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The other two were Hakeem Olajuwon and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who did it twice. Timberwolves 119, Bobcats 92 Nikola Pekovic scored 26 points in 27 minutes and Minnesota blew off some steam by beating Charlotte. Kevin Love had 19 points and 14 rebounds, Kevin Martin added 19 points and Minnesota’s bench had 20 points before Charlotte’s reserves even got on the board late in the second quarter. Anthony Tolliver scored 21 for the Bobcats, who have lost seven of eight. The Timberwolves lost 104-103 to Phoenix on Wednesday and fell to 0-10 in games decided by four points or fewer. The tension carried into the locker room where Love, recently critical of a particularly paltry output by the reserves, ripped J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham for their disinterested body language at the end of the bench. Mavericks 107, Pelicans 90 Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Monta Ellis added 23 and Dallas sent short-handed New Orleans to its fourth straight loss. Vince Carter added 14 points and Jae Crowder 12 for Dallas, which never trailed. The Mavericks led by as many as 23 points
in the third quarter over a Pelicans squad minus starting point guard Jrue Holiday and leading scorer Ryan Anderson. Holiday missed his first game with a stress fracture in his right shin. Anderson went down last week with a herniated disk. Eric Gordon scored 27 points for New Orleans, while Anthony Davis added 21 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots. Grizzlies 104, Suns 99 Mike Conley matched his career high with 31 points, and the Grizzlies used a fourth-quarter burst to overtake the Suns. Zach Randolph had 20 points and 13 rebounds for Memphis, while Ed Davis had 10 points and a careerhigh 17 rebounds. The Grizzlies outrebounded the Suns 53-44. Mike Miller finished with 11 points. Randolph tied his season high in assists with seven. Goran Dragic led the Suns with 21 points and eight assists, connecting on 6 of 10 shots. Markieff Morris came off the Phoenix bench for 17 points. Bulls 81, Bucks 72 Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 13 rebounds in his first game back from a right knee injury, Mike Dunleavy Jr. added 18 points and the Bulls beat the Bucks. Taj Gibson added 12 points at the Bradley Center, where a healthy sprinkling of Bulls fans wearing red celebrated the team’s fourth straight win. They almost watched Chicago waste a 15-point lead. The Bucks opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run to get to within three. A long jumper from Ersan Ilyasova (14 points) got the Bucks to 71-70 with 5:42 left. But the Bulls hung on, even after Boozer missed two foul shots with 3:42 left with his team up by three. The Bucks missed their final 11 shots.

HEIGHTS: Panthers defeated in girls contest FROM PAGE B1
Bryce Heller was noticeably emotional while standing with Jacob in front of the scorers’ table. Jacob enjoyed scoring his 1,000th point with a lot of his AHS friends on the other bench and in the stands. “It’s really neat. We all played Speiss ball together. It was nice they congratulated me,” Heller said. “It was a weird feeling being one point away. It’s a great feeling and a great accomplishment (to get it). It’s been one of the goals I’ve had since I was real young,” he added. “I was not worried about getting it. I just did not want to let it affect our game.” Prairie Heights had eight different players score in taking a 23-16 lead at the half. Eleven players took the floor throughout the game and 10 of them scored. West added 11 points, three rebounds and two steals for the Panthers. Angola’s senior post standout Justin Davis was limited by foul trouble and went scoreless, only making one field-goal attempt. Prairie Heights’ Zach Shepard drew the assignment on Davis for much of the game. “I’m proud of our team defensive effort,” Eltzroth said. “Angola is going to fight you for 32 minutes no matter what the score is.” The Panthers held Angola to only 38 percent from the floor (13-34) while shooting 45 percent themselves (18-40). Heights also
the middle two quarters after being outrebounded 14-7 in the opening stanza. Angola coach John Berger said his team was more patient on offense and peskier on the defensive end in snapping a losing streak at five games. “We played a smarter game,” he said. “We needed more ball pressure and needed to be more aggressive. We had to run our offense and not settle for threes. We just had to slow down and find the open girl. After halftime, we ran our offense a little bit more and made the extra pass.” Grubb also had four rebounds, three steals and three assists.

Cauhorn finished with six points and led her team in scoring. Wolfe, Kavan Edwards and Kourtney Edwards contributed five each. East Noble will put in five practices between Friday night and the program’s next game, an NHC contest at DeKalb on Saturday. The Knights are 3-1 in the conference (10-4 overall), but require some help at the top if they wish to share the NHC crown. The team’s NHC calendar still consists of tilts against DeKalb, Carroll (Jan. 24) and Norwell (Feb. 1). “We need to get our confidence back, basically. We can go back in with five practices before our game next Saturday. Historically we have done OK against DeKalb. I think mentally we will be OK, it’s just whether the ball goes in the hole or not,” Booth said.

Lydia Walterhouse grabbed a rebound after Homestead missed on a 1-and-1 opportunity, setting up Fulk’s streak. Fulk hit the back of a two-shot trip to the charity stripe to tie the game with eight seconds left. Homestead turned the ball over again after a player fouled on the in-bounds pass, leading to Fulk hitting the two winning free throws. Paige DeCamp led the team in scoring with 12 points. MacKayla Wolfe added six points and Walterhouse blocked six shots. Cali Casaburo recorded 12 points for the Spartan reserves.
CHARGERS: Thompson leads Lakeland scorers FROM PAGE B1
Chargers coach Dale Marano called it rust after only practicing twice this week due to inclement weather and school cancellations. But during the half, there was no yelling or strategic planning, he
said. Instead, shots simply began falling for West Noble. The Chargers scored 22 third-quarter points and 18 fourth-quarter points to run away from Lakeland. Lakers coach Sheila Moore said her team came out flat in the second half
and struggled to defend and handle West Noble’s pressure. Lakeland was led by junior Abi Thompson’s 19 points and seven rebounds. Classmate Nicole McKibben added 10 points and two rebounds.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Death overshadows sixth stage of Dakar Rally SALTA, Argentina (AP) — The death of a racer overshadowed Friday’s sixth leg of the Dakar Rally, as the race claimed the life of Belgian motorcyclist Eric Palante. Palante’s body was found after he failed to finish Thursday’s fifth stage. Nani Roma of Spain kept the overall lead in cars despite finishing sixth in the stage, and fellow Spaniard Marc Coma stayed on top in bikes after taking second on the stage from Tucuman to Salta in northern Argentina. Roma, driving a Mini, has a large lead of 30 minutes, 30 seconds over Orlando Terranova of Argentina, and 40:54 ahead of 11-time winner Stephane Peterhansel. Coma leads fellow Spaniard Joan Barreda Bort by 42:17 and is an hour ahead of Alain Duclos of France. Organizers said they went out looking for the 50-year-old Palante after he failed to finish the fifth stage, which most riders completed on Thursday, and found his body along the route. The cause of death was being investigated, and officials offered few details. Police said two people following the race died on Thursday when their vehicle overturned in rough terrain in northern Argentina. The Dakar began Sunday in Rosario, Argentina, and ends Jan. 18 in Valapariso, Chile. This is the sixth straight year it has been held in South America. Saturday in a rest day.
Eastern Illinois hires Dameron as head coach CHARLESTON, Ill. (AP) — Eastern Illinois University has hired Louisiana Tech defensive coordinator Kim Dameron as its new head football coach. EIU says Friday that Dameron will take over for Dino Babers, who became head coach at Bowling Green after leading the Panthers to the Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinals. Dameron has never been a head coach. He spent last season at Louisiana Tech after working as Cornell’s defensive coordinator in 2012. He’s also been a coordinator or secondary coach at schools such as Ole Miss since 1986. He was EIU’s defensive coordinator in 2000 after spending 1999 coaching at Toronto in the CFL. Louisiana Tech’s defense was ranked 69th in the country last season and gave up 408.3 yards and 26.3 points a game.

Doctors warn of dangers in cuts to food stamp program WASHINGTON (AP) — Doctors are warning that if Congress cuts food stamps, the federal government could be socked with bigger health bills. Maybe not immediately, they say, but over time if the poor wind up in doctors’ offices or hospitals as a result. Among the health risks of hunger are spiked rates of diabetes and developmental problems for young children down the road. The doctors’ lobbying effort comes as Congress is working on a compromise farm bill that’s certain to include food stamp cuts. Republicans want
heftier reductions than do Democrats in yet another partisan battle over the government’s role in helping poor Americans. Food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, feed 1 in 7 Americans and cost almost $80 billion a year, twice what it cost five years ago. Conservatives say the program spiraled out of control as the economy struggled and the costs are not sustainable. They say the neediest people will not go hungry. The health and financial risks of hunger have not
played a major role in the debate. But the medical community says cutting food aid could backfire through higher Medicaid and Medicare costs. “If you’re interested in saving health care costs, the dumbest thing you can do is cut nutrition,� said Dr. Deborah Frank of Boston Medical Center, who founded the Children’s HealthWatch pediatric research institute. “People don’t make the hunger-health connection.� A study published this week helps illustrate that link. Food banks report longer lines at the end of the
month as families exhaust their grocery budgets, and California researchers found that more poor people with a dangerous diabetes complication are hospitalized then, too. The researchers analyzed eight years of California hospital records to find cases of hypoglycemia, when blood sugar plummets, and link them to patients’ ZIP codes. Among patients from low-income neighborhoods, hospitalizations were 27 percent higher in the last week of the month compared with the first, when most states send out
government checks and food stamps, said lead researcher Dr. Hilary Seligman of the University of California, San Francisco. But hospitalizations didn’t increase among diabetics from higher-income areas, she reported Tuesday in the journal Health Affairs. Seligman couldn’t prove that running low on food was to blame. But she called it the most logical culprit and said the cost of treating hypoglycemia even without a hospitalization could provide months of food stamp benefits. “The cost trade-offs are sort of ridiculous,� Seligman
said. She is working on a project with Feeding America, a network of food banks, to try to improve health by providing extra, diabetes-appropriate foods, including fresh produce and whole-grain cereals and pastas, for diabetics at a few food banks in California, Texas and Ohio. Last year, research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts estimated that a cut of $2 billion a year in food stamps could trigger in an increase of $15 billion in medical costs for diabetes over the next decade.
Annie’s Project Purdue work helps feed the world set to start Jan. 28 Creating a transition plan to make sure a farm or ranch continues as a productive agricultural business and understanding and managing farm finances for a secure future are just some of the challenges faced by farm and ELYSIA ranch women RODGERS today. Women engage in a wide variety of jobs on farms in northeast Indiana and across the country. In DeKalb County alone, 107 women are primary farm operators according to the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Women farm owner/ operators are on the rise, with a 50 percent increase from 2002 to 2007 in DeKalb County. This is a trend occurring nationally, with more women owning farm businesses or becoming more highly involved in decisionmaking. Purdue University Cooperative Extension of DeKalb County plans to engage farm women in discussions of farm business and risk management beginning Tuesday, Jan. 28, through Annie’s Project. “The goal of Annie’s Project is to empower women to take active leadership roles in their farming operations,� said Marsha Laux, Iowa Annie’s Project state coordinator and Extension value added agriculture program coordinator with Iowa State University. “All agricultural endeavors require careful planning and the use of the proper tools and strategies to help manage risk and to help

ensure business success.� Annie’s Project standard courses introduce women to all five areas of agricultural risk: financial, human resources, legal, production and marketing. Farm and ranch women can learn how personality types influence family and employee communication. They also can learn basic marketing techniques to improve grain and livestock profitability, how the right insurance can protect the family and the farm or ranch, how to access USDA resources, recordkeeping, and more. This course is taught over six weekly three-hour sessions. Annie’s Project, an agricultural risk management education program for women, has successfully reached more than 8,000 farmers and ranchers in 30 states. Annie’s Project, created in 2003 by Ruth Hambleton, University of Illinois Extension, curriculum is designed to empower women farmers in managing information systems used in critical decision-making processes and to build local networks. Annie’s Project will run from 6-9 p.m. at the County Office Building, 215 E. 9th St., Auburn. Those with questions or who are interested in registering should contact me at 925-2562 or eberry@purdue. edu or visit ag.purdue.edu/ counties/dekalb. The course costs $75 per person. The deadline for registration is Jan. 20. ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.
LAFAYETTE (AP) — At Chuck and Brian Shelby’s farm outside Lafayette, auto-steer combines equipped with the latest in GPS technology are used to harvest 9,200 acres of corn and soybeans. The father-son duo invested in hands-free technology to increase their farm’s efficiency and improve profitability. Self-steering takes the guesswork out of guiding huge machines, reducing row overlaps and cutting the time it takes to farm large tracts of land. “You go through the field and it drives perfectly,� Brian Shelby told the Journal & Courier as he sat in his combine on a recent fall day, keeping an eye on the controls. He estimates that auto-steer has saved thousands of dollars in fuel and labor costs. Meanwhile, half a world away in Africa, pests and invasive weeds make growing crops in the arid soil an iffy proposition. Poorly equipped sorghum farmers in Ethiopia struggle to control a parasitic weed called Striga, while producers in Ghana, Burkina Faso and Niger battle weevils that attack their cowpea cash crops. “The same people that are expected to feed society are hungry themselves,� said Gebisa Ejeta, a distinguished Purdue University professor who is from Ethiopia. The Shelby farm is a world apart from Ethiopia or Burkina Faso — in distance and technology. But Purdue researchers are trying to change that by

employing the latest in crop research and technology in the developing world. Ejeta and colleagues engaged in disciplines across Purdue are hoping to accelerate developments in agriculture technology, envisioning a time when high-tech practices, such as the ones the Shelbys employ, will one day help struggling producers in developing countries combat chronic hunger. “The contrast around the world is such that we’ve got huge equipment that we operate here that is sophisticated ‌ and then the world where I come from, where people still farm with their hands and a hoe and there isn’t any mechanical advantage,â€? said Ejeta, who won a

World Food Prize for his work controlling Striga. “Someday the aspiration we all have is these things would be scalable from the smallest level to the highest level. The reality is we’re too far apart at the moment.� Feeding the world is a challenge Purdue is tackling head-on. In September the West Lafayette research institution announced a $20 million investment into plant sciences research with hopes of advancing work in areas such as molecular agriculture and automated field phenotyping. “The challenge is huge,� Ejeta said. “There really isn’t any alternative way of overcoming this problem we have other
than advancing science and technology and innovation in the practice of agriculture and farming.� America’s farmers are entering a new era in precision agriculture. Yield predictions are more accurate. GPS technology is better than ever at performing soil analysis and field planning. Researchers are experimenting with drones and robots to capture high-resolution images and other data about farms — even to perform tasks autonomously. Technological advances being tested in Purdue laboratories and in Indiana research fields are paving the way for better techniques that can be used on farms near and far.
Farmer comes to aid of stranded motorists KOUTS (AP) — Crown Point residents Rigo and Claudia Garcia sat stranded Sunday night along a rural stretch of Ind. 8 just outside of Kouts, watching a snow drift climb higher along their SUV, when

they spotted lights in the distance. As the lights slowly neared over the next 45 minutes, the couple was surprised to see a large tractor digging its way through the snow toward them and other vehicles scattered across the road and in nearby ditches. The tractor’s driver, who reached the stranded motorists during the county’s state of emergency when other emergency officials could not, turned out to be nearby farmer and business owner Chris Birky. “I called my wife and said, ‘You better start cleaning. We are going to have people over,’� Birky told The Times. After helping each of the occupied vehicles to his driveway through a path he had cleared in the highway,
the Birky family welcomed the strangers into their home, where they remained Monday afternoon while waiting for highways to reopen. “This family is unbelievable,� Rigo Garcia said. Not only have the stranded motorists been treated to movies and entertainment from the family’s children, but they have also been served homemade meals, provided dry clothing and a comfortable place to sleep. Birky, who owns a catering company, Piggies & Cream restaurants in Kouts and North Judson, and Birky’s Country Market and Bakery in Kouts, said he just felt moved to help after noticing the blinking car lights on the highway in front of his house. “You just got to do what God tells you to do,� he
said. Birky said it took him three hours to clear the path to the stranded motorists and to help pull their vehicles into position to reach the safety of his driveway. Rigo, who was on his way home from his nursing job in Winamac when the fierce winter storm brought a scary halt to his commute, said the story of his rescue became even more inspiring when he learned Birky had been unable to get the tractor started before Sunday night and has not been able to get it started since. The six stranded motorists planned to stay put until a plow finally makes it down the stretch of Ind. 8 between U.S. 421 and Ind. 49. “The last thing we want to do is leave in this,� Rigo said.

Equality vs. liberty President Barack Obama says income inequality is “dangerous … the defining challenge of our time.” The pope is upset that capitalism causes inequality. Progressives, facing the failures of Obamacare, are eager to change the subject to America’s “wealth gap.” It’s true that today, the richest 1 percent of Americans own a third of America’s wealth. One percent owns 35 percent! But I say, so what? Progressives in the media claim that the rich get richer at the expense of the poor. But that’s a lie. Hollywood sells the greedy-evil-capitalists-cheatthe-poor message with movies like Martin Scorsese’s new JOHN film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which portrays STOSSEL stock sellers as sex-crazed criminals. Years before, Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” created a creepy financier, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas, who smugly gloated, “It’s Opportunity is much a zero-sum game. more important than Somebody equality, and there is wins; somebody still income mobility in loses.” America. People born This is how the poor don’t necessarily left sees the stay poor. market: a zero-sum game. If someone makes money, he took it from everyone else. The more the rich have, the less others have. It’s as if the economy is a pie that’s already on the table, waiting to be carved. The bigger the piece the rich take, the less that’s left for everyone else. The economy is just a fight over who gets how much. But this is absurd. Bill Gates took a huge slice of pie, but he didn’t take it from me. By starting Microsoft, he baked millions of new pies. He made the rest of the world richer, too. Entrepreneurs create things. Over the past few decades, the difference in wealth between the rich and poor has grown. This makes people uncomfortable. But why is it a problem if the poor didn’t get poorer? Progressives claim they did. Some cite government data that show middle class incomes remaining relatively stagnant. But this data is misleading, too. It leaves out all government handouts, like rent subsidies and food stamps. It leaves out benefits like company-funded health insurance and pensions, which make up increasing portions of people’s pay. And it leaves out the innovation that makes life better for both the rich and poor. Even poor people today have access to cars, food, health care, entertainment and technology that rich people lusted for a few decades ago. Ninety percent of Americans living “below the poverty line” have smart phones, cable TV and cars. Seventy percent own two cars. But hold on, says the left. Even if the poor reap some benefits from capitalism, it’s just not “fair” that rich people have so much more. I suppose this is true. But what exactly is “fair?” Is it fair that models are so good-looking? Why is it fair that some men are so much bigger than I, so no one will pay me to play pro sports? It’s hardly fair that I was born in America, a country that offers me far greater opportunities than most other countries would. We Americans should be thankful that life is not fair! Freedom isn’t fair, if fair means equal. When people are free, some will be more successful than others. Some people are smarter or just luckier. Globalization and free-market capitalism multiply the effect of smarts and luck, allowing some people to get much richer than others. So what? Inequality may seem unfair, but the alternative — government-forced equality — is worse. It leaves everyone poor. Opportunity is much more important than equality, and there is still income mobility in America. People born poor don’t necessarily stay poor. Pew research shows 58 percent of the kids born to the poorest fifth of families rose to a higher income group. Six percent rose all the way from the bottom fifth to the top fifth. Sixty-one percent of kids born to the richest fifth of families fell from that group, and 9 percent fell all the way to the bottom. Opportunity requires allowing people to take risks and make changes. We won’t always like the outcomes. But over the long haul, we’re still better off if people are free to strive and fail, or maybe — reap big rewards. JOHN STOSSEL is host of “Stossel” on the Fox Business Network.

The items or cash donated to us come from: churches, businesses, industries, social service organizations, the three school corporations in the county, our Amish community and individual households. We are also recipients of LaGrange County United Fund and LaGrange County Community Foundation. Without them we could not have a Christmas Bureau. We could not function without our hard-working and dedicated volunteers. God bless all of you. Our regular business hours are Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Thanks again for the support and generosity. Coordinators Carol Meeks, Janet Eagleson and Arlene Stewart
Settling back into Indiana life in the nick of time It is dark when we drive onto the ferry in the morning. There are only four cars heading to the mainland. The air is chilly, but the captain has a pot of coffee brewing on the enclosed deck. We leave the car and go up to drink the coffee and watch as we pull away from Ocracoke. Soon the lighthouse is a speck and the waters of the Pamlico Sound rock the ferry ever so gently. The sun comes up as seagulls and other water birds follow beside us. The ride is just two hours, and soon we are heading to the airport in New Bern. It is once again time to leave my second home and return to Indiana. Philip and I say farewell, and for a split second I waiver in my decision. No, I say to myself, I must return … family, work, responsibilities, community. I watch him leave until I can no longer see him, and then straighten my shoulders and prepare for my flight. I am early but check in anyway. It is good to be rid of my bag. I find a seat and pull out my book. Soon it is finished, and I am about to start another when I receive a text from Delta telling me my flight is delayed. It is strange because I am sitting by the Delta counter and can see the board right in front of me. It does not say delayed. I take a stroll over to the counter and ask them about the delay. Indeed there is a delay so I go back over to my seat. I pull out my tickets and realize that with the delay I may not make the flight from
Atlanta to Fort Wayne. I am now in a panic. Talk of the storm begins to fill the airport and I need to get home tonight or I won’t make it. The TV in the corner continues to show weather maps and speaks of the “polar vortex.” I go back over to the counter. The Delta folks behind the counter are kind, but honest. “You won’t make your flight,” they tell me. They insist I take the flight LOU ANN to Atlanta where they will put me up. I feel bewildered. HOMAN- I am thinking I will be there until Wednesday, and it is SAYLOR just Saturday. “I have to get home,” I tell them. They nod. It is finally time to board and I leave New Bern. I watch the landscape change and I settle back into the seat that I share with a young mother and her baby. By the time we land in Atlanta everyone knows my situation. We land at 6:50 and my Fort Wayne flight leaves at 7:12. I am ushered off the plane first and scramble into the airport. The woman at the counter says, “Are you the Fort Wayne passenger?” I nod and she points to the gate across the way. “The coffee pot broke. Hurry, I think you can make it.” Who would guess in the Atlanta airport
•
that my flight would be one gate over? The door is about to be shut when they see me coming. I show my ticket and hurry through the door. I make it to the plane as the flight attendant is about to shut the cabin door. There is no time to find my seat so I take the one in front, and we leave. The flight attendant and I chat about the situation. “You were so lucky,” he says, “we had to get a new coffee pot or we would have been gone.” It is dark, but I can begin to see fields of white from the air. We arrive on time in Fort Wayne, and I receive my usual greeting and the cookie. I wait for my bag, knowing it can’t possibly be there, but it is. I walk outside and someone is there asking if I need a ride to my car. I am numb with gratefulness. We find the Jeep, and he shovels me out from the previous storm and makes sure the Jeep starts. He tosses my bag in the back as I hand him a 10 dollar bill. Home is waiting and the polar vortex has yet to come. Sleep is deep in my old house, and I am awakened by the sound of Larry’s snow blower in the morning. I put on the kettle and settle back into my Indiana life. 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.

Mom facing life without husband DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are a young couple, married almost two years. He recently told me he isn’t happy with me anymore and that he may want to leave. He won’t tell me why. He says he doesn’t know why. It was a complete shock to me. He refuses to seek marriage counseling and has dealt with a lot of depression for which he won’t seek help, either. We have a child, and I am now pregnant again. It hasn’t changed his thoughts about leaving. What should I do for myself and our children? What can I do to help my husband change his mind? I’m still deeply in love with him. — CONFUSED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR CONFUSED: I can only imagine how painful this must be for you. Because your husband won’t

your children, it’s important you stay calm and rational. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 17-year-old girl, turning 18 soon. Ever since I started high school, my family has pressured me to do my best in everything I do. Some examples: my grades, having the perfect boyfriend and being first in sports. I know they want the best for me. But I’m a human being. I sometimes make mistakes. At the same time, I don’t want to disappoint them. — TEEN IN TURMOIL, TULSA, OKLA. DEAR TEEN: Your parents probably push you because they want you to get a college education. There are ways to tell your parents to ease up without saying, “Get off my back.” Your message might be better received if you said to them what you wrote to me.

Some viruses resistant to anti-viral drugs eliminated by our immune system. For many of these infections, like those that cause the common cold, we don’t actually have (or need) anti-viral drugs.

impossible (currently) to eliminate them. Neither our immune systems nor anti-viral drugs can get rid of them, and they remain with us for the rest of our lives. Sometimes they remain “asleep” in our bodies, causing no damage. Other times they periodically awaken and cause symptoms; a cold sore caused by a herpes virus is an example. Anti-viral medicines sometimes can keep them dormant, or make them go back to sleep. Another reason that some viral illnesses are hard to treat is that sometimes it’s not the virus that makes us sick; it’s our immune system. Our immune system is like an army: When it attacks a virus, it uses lots of artillery. Unfortunately, that artillery can also damage our own tissues. The symptoms from many viral infections are the “collateral damage” done to us by our own immune systems. Finally, viruses reproduce so rapidly that they have plenty

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is a virus? And what makes viral illnesses so difficult to treat? DEAR READER: Viruses are a very simple kind of germ. They are smaller and simpler than other common germs, such as bacteria and fungi. They cause illnesses ranging from mild — like the common cold — to potentially fatal. This includes diseases such as smallpox, influenza, Ebola and HIV. When viruses infect our cells, they take over a cell’s “machinery.” The cell can’t carry out its normal life-sustaining tasks. Instead, the host cell becomes a virus-manufacturing plant, making viral parts that reassemble into whole viruses and infect other cells. Finally, the host cell dies. You ask why viral infections can be so difficult to treat. Not all are. And there are different reasons why some are, indeed, hard to treat. Many common viral infections get attacked and

Who is winning the war, we or our viruses? Over the past century we have eliminated or greatly reduced many viral illnesses through developing vaccines and anti-viral drugs. On the other hand, completely new viral infections have emerged, such as HIV. And the remarkable growth in global travel has made it easier for viral infections to spread. So I’m not sure if we’re winning the war. But I am sure of one thing: Without medical research, we would have little chance of winning. And in my opinion, we’re not spending enough on research. DR.

Tense standoff grips Fallujah South Sudanese BAGHDAD (AP) — Residents started to trickle back to the besieged city of Fallujah on Friday as militants and government forces both appear to be preparing for a long standoff. Al-Qaida-linked fighters and tribal gunmen are camped on the outskirts of the city, with Iraqi army and police stationed nearby. A tense calm has settled over the city, although sporadic street fighting rattled Ramadi and surrounding areas in Sunni-dominated Anbar province, a vast desert region west of Baghdad that was once a major battleground for U.S. troops. The extremist militants, emboldened by fellow fighters’ gains in the civil war in neighboring Syria, have tried to position themselves as the champions of Iraqi Sunnis angry at the Shiite-led government over what they see as efforts to marginalize them. Violence spiked after the Dec. 28 arrest of a Sunni lawmaker sought on terrorism charges and the government’s dismantling of a year-old Sunni protest camp in Ramadi, the provincial capital, and Iraqi police were forced to retreat from the city centers as black masked gunmen overtook Fallujah and parts of Ramadi last week, burning down police stations and posting guards outside strategic areas. Iraqi troops have taken up positions in and around

Shakir Waheib, left, a senior member of the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), stands next to a burning police vehicle in Iraq’s Anbar Province. With al-Qaida linked fighters
and allied tribal gunmen camped on the outskirts, a tentative calm took hold over Fallujah on Friday and residents started to return to the besieged city west of Baghdad.
vehicles, a police officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. There was no immediate word on casualties. Central areas of Fallujah, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of Baghdad, have been calm in recent days, according to accounts from residents and international observers.
“If there is no other solution, then the security forces and allied tribal fighters will enter these cities,” al-Askari said. Clashes broke out again Friday, this time between Iraqi special forces and militants in the village of al-Bubali, between Fallujah and Ramadi. Roadside bombs planted around the village damaged several army
both cities but have not launched major urban offensives, fearing that likely civilian casualties could incite Sunni anger and push moderate tribal leaders to side with the extremists. Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Askari told The Associated Press on Friday that the government’s patience would not last forever.
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — South Sudanese troops on Friday retook the capital of an oil-producing state from rebels loyal to the country’s former vice president, a military spokesman said. Government troops retook Bentiu, the capital of Unity state, after a 2 ½-hour battle, Col. Philip Aguer said. Aguer said the forces loyal to the former vice president, Riek Machar, had “destroyed” the town. Rebels looted the bank, stole food and set the market on fire, Aguer said. Doctors Without Borders, which is also known as MSF, said its facilities in Bentiu were also looted. “It is unacceptable that one of the only humanitarian organizations still providing assistance to the population in Bentiu has been looted,” MSF General Director Arjan Hehenkamp said. The loss of Bentiu weakens Machar at the negotiating table in Ethiopia, where mediators are trying to defuse a political conflict that broke out Dec. 15 and descended into ethnic attacks and military battles. Hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese have been displaced in the nearly monthlong conflict. The U.N. has said only that more than 1,000 people are believed to have been

killed. But Casie Copeland, South Sudan analyst for the International Crisis Group, said Friday she believes nearly 10,000 have died. Most of those killed, she said, are combatants who died in major battles: in the capital, Juba, and in Bor, the capital of Jonglei state. In all, fighting has been seen in 30 locations, said Copeland, who said her estimate is a compilation of figures from the U.N., aid workers, the internally displaced, government officials and combatants. Aguer said troops will soon retake Bor, which rebels still control. Talks in Ethiopia haven’t made much progress. Machar’s side insists that 11 political prisoners held by the government of President Salva Kiir must be released. The U.S. has also called for the release of those prisoners so they can take part in the negotiations. On Friday, the U.N. Security Council released a statement calling for Kiir’s government to release the political detainees to promote the talks, and for both sides — “Mr. Machar in particular” — to declare a cease-fire and begin broader peace negotiations. The Security Council also “strongly discouraged external intervention that would exacerbate the military and political tensions.”
