INDIANAPOLIS — The jobless rate has fallen below 7 percent throughout the four counties of northeast Indiana, according to reports released Friday by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. Data covering two months was released Friday; the September unemployment reports had been delayed due to the government shutdown earlier this fall. According to the report, the unemployment rate fell in all four counties in September, with Noble and Steuben counties joining

LaGrange County below 7 percent during that month. DeKalb County dipped below 7 percent in October and was the only area county to see its unemployment drop that month. “Today’s data release was again quite positive for northeast Indiana,” said Ellen Cutter, director of the Community Research Institute at Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne. “The (10-county) region’s NSA (non-seasonally adjusted) unemployment rate continues to trend downward to 6.82 (percent)

KENDALLVILLE — Pay raises for building principals were approved by the East Noble school board Wednesday night.

DALLAS (AP) — From a street in downtown Dallas to the shores of Cape Cod, a somber nation paused Friday to remember John F. Kennedy 50 years after the young, handsome president was gunned down in an open-top limousine. A half-century later, the assassination still stirs quiet sadness in the baby boom generation that remembers it as the beginning of a darker, more cynical time. The anniversary ceremonies reflected that solemnity, with moments of silence, speeches by historians and, above all, simple reverence for a time and a leader long gone. “A new era dawned and another waned a half-century ago, when hope and hatred collided right here in Dallas,” Mayor Mike Rawlings SEE NATION, PAGE A7

Citizens have say Commissioners get input on 4-way stop BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The turnout was low, but the Noble County Commissioners took time Friday evening to listen to public input on whether to make a four-way stop at an intersection on C.R. 1000E into a two-way stop. The rare evening meeting was scheduled after it was suggested to commissioners that more people might turn out for a meeting after traditional work hours. Two members of the public came to offer comment, both saying they could not have come during the day. Commissioners president Gary Leatherman explained the purpose of Friday’s meeting was information gathering. No determination on the proposal will be made until after a formal public hearing on it Monday at 9:30 a.m. in the Commissioners Room of the Noble County Courthouse. At issue is whether to convert the four-way stop sign at the intersection of C.R.s 1000E and C.R. 415N, also known as Allen Chapel Road and Lisbon Road, into a two-way stop with Allen Chapel as a through street. “My biggest concern is safety,” said Adam Taulbee, who lives at the northwest corner of the intersection. “We live there. We see the traffic every day.”

Lakeland business and economics teacher Robert Albaugh talks with the members of the school’s DECA club as they prepare to spend tonight living in cardboard boxes to try and

understand what it is like to be homeless. The students will construct cardboard shelters for themselves in the parking lot of the First Church of God in LaGrange.

Lakeland club Freezin’ for a Reason BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcnews.net

LAGRANGE — Hoping to raise a little awareness, a bit of cash, and get a real firsthand glimpse into the life of a homeless person, a group of Lakeland High School DECA club members will spend tonight outside in the cold, sleeping inside cardboard boxes. They’re calling their effort “Freezin’ for a Reason.” Hoping passing traffic will notice them and start thinking about the homeless problem in LaGrange County, the students will begin taping together cardboard to make temporary shelters this afternoon, then construct a box city on the parking lot of the LaGrange First Church of God, just off of S.R. 9 night on LaGrange’s north side. SEE CITIZENS, PAGE A7 Six or eight club members

are expected to spend the night outside, with local forecasters calling for overnight lows to be in the teens. “We’re just trying to put ourselves in their shoes,” club president Jamie Elliott said of homeless people. “Hopefully, when people see us doing this, they’ll understand this is an issue. Elliott said she thinks most people don’t realize homelessness is a problem in rural areas. “When people think of LaGrange County, they don’t think homelessness is a huge issue,” she said. “You think the homeless are only in bigger cities, but it is an issue here. “We’re just trying to create awareness and let people know this is a problem here, too,” Elliott added.

The business club conducts other special projects throughout the school year, such as running the school store. But this year, members said they wanted to tackle something bigger, something that is a real issue within the community and something they want to help alleviate. So, far, club members have convinced 10 local businesses to donate $100 apiece to the Hope Cafe and started a seed fund at the Church of God, earmarked to help open a new, temporary shelter in the community to house homeless families. The club members already have a friend in Church of God pastor Brian VanOsdal. “It’s a good idea,” VanOsdal

Police train for crisis intervention DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Police officers from Kendallville, Noble and DeKalb counties recently trained in mental health and substance abuse crisis intervention. Tuesday, six officers from the Kendallville Police Department, three deputies from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and a deputy from the Noble County Sheriff’s Department attended a four-hour training session at the Northeastern Center in Kendallville. The session is part of the ongoing requirements for officers trained in the crisis intervention program, said Kendallville Police Chief Rob Wiley. “The program increases an officer’s ability to respond to situations involving individuals suffering from a mental health or substance-abuse crisis,” he said. Over the last three years, the Kendallville Police

Department has sent nine officers through the 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team program conducted with the cooperation of the Northeastern Center and the Fort Wayne Police Department. Officers are trained to diffuse potentially volatile situations and to develop documentation to provide people with options for obtaining mental health assistance. The Crisis Intervention Team program interaction techniques also are beneficial to police officers in dealing with people who may not be mentally ill but are highly emotional in disruptive ways, Wiley said. “Officers do much more than simply arrest people. Our mission is to provide solutions to community problems and improve the quality of life in our city,” Wiley said. To find solutions, Kendallville police partner with other social agencies and community groups.

Briefs • Son of drug lord arrested at border SAN DIEGO (AP) — The son of one of the world’s most-wanted drug lords was arrested at an Arizona border crossing to face drug-trafficking charges in the United States, authorities said Friday. Serafin Zambada, 23, was arrested Wednesday afternoon while crossing the border from Mexico in Nogales, Ariz., accompanied by his wife in a pedestrian lane, said Kelly Thornton, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in San Diego. The wife was detained and released, Thornton said. Zambada’s father is Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, who survived decades of turf wars and rose to the top of Mexico’s underworld through savvy deal-brokering. Ismael Zambada is considered the strategist of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, more involved in daily operations than his betterknown boss, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. Serafin Zambada, a U.S. citizen, was scheduled to appear before a federal judge in Tucson, Ariz., on Monday to determine if he is eligible for bail. Prosecutors plan to ask that he be sent to San Diego to face federal charges of conspiracy to import methamphetamine and cocaine, and criminal forfeiture.

Doctor who aided in bin Laden capture faces murder charge PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden has been charged with murder over a 2006 surgery he performed, his lawyer said Friday, raising new doubts whether the physician will regain his freedom. Shakil Afridi already is being held in prison pending retrial on a separate charge, despite U.S. officials demanding he be released. The case has caused friction between Pakistan and the U.S., complicating a relationship that Washington views as vital for fighting the Taliban and al-Qaida, as well as negotiating an end to the war in neighboring Afghanistan. The murder charge stems from a complaint over a teenage boy who died after Afridi performed surgery on him for appendicitis in 2006. The complaint, filed by the deceased teenage boy’s mother, Nasib Gula, says Afridi was not authorized to operate on her son because he was a physician, not a surgeon.

People • Vaughn’s latest movie effort more family-friendly LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the new movie “Delivery Man,” Vince Vaughn plays a sperm donor who learns he’s fathered more than 500 kids. In the past, that kind of scenario Vaughn might have been the set up for a film with adult humor, given the actor’s portfolio. But “Delivery Man” is decidedly familyfriendly fare, and reflects the stage of life where the 43-year-old married father of two finds himself these days. “I think that this is a whole other level, in that the movie, in a real non-sentimental way, takes you on a journey. That is a little bit about family, sure — connection,” he said in a recent interview. “But also I think a little bit about accepting yourself, forgiving yourself. Being open to being who are, and having people accept you and interact with you, whatever that may be.”

Kerry, other top officials Afghan leader joining nuclear discussion refuses security GENEVA (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry and foreign ministers of other major powers lent their weight to the Iran nuclear talks after envoys reported progress Friday in marathon negotiations to curb the Iranian program in return for limited sanctions relief. After a third day of talks, State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Kerry was en route to Geneva to “help narrow the differences.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in Geneva late Friday. British Foreign Secretary William Hague announced he would also travel to Geneva. A French diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius would join the others here. The announcements followed a day in which diplomats appeared more and more optimistic that a deal could be struck.

The Obama administration has said it will pull all its forces out of Afghanistan without a security deal, as it did when Iraq failed to sign a similar agreement. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called Karzai on Friday and warned that “further delay is not practical, nor is it tenable,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. “Failure to conclude (the deal) … would be seen as a signal to the world that Afghanistan is not committed to a partnership with its supporters and that it is willing to jeopardize all of the financial and practical help that has been offered,” Psaki said. The U.S. invaded Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to go after al-Qaida, which was being sheltered by the Taliban. The longest and costliest war in U.S. history has proven deeply unpopular at home and among its allies, who also have said they will not commit any troops after 2014 unless the security deal is signed. The exit of all foreign forces would jeopardize the more than $8 billion that has been pledged annually to fund Afghan security forces and help with the country’s development.

S&P 500 has first finish at more than 1,800 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The stock market brushed past another milestone on Friday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed above 1,800 for the first time, capping seven straight weeks of gains. The broader index is on track for its best performance in 15 years as a combination of solid corporate earnings, a strengthening economy and easy-money policies from the Federal Reserve draw investors to stocks. Stocks have also gained because they offer an attractive alternative to bonds, where interest rates remain close to all-time lows. “You can’t really get better returns other than in the stock market,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital. “It’s been a quality run-up in stocks.” The S&P 500 index rose 8.91 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,804.76. The index has advanced 26.5 percent in 2013. If it finishes at that level, it would be its strongest year since a 26.7 percent gain in 1998.

The Dow Jones industrial average also continued its upward march after finishing above 16,000 for the first time Thursday. The index gained 54.78 points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,064.77. The Nasdaq composite rose 22.49 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,991.65. On Friday, health care stocks led the market’s rise. Biotechnology company Biogen Idec surged on reports that it won market exclusivity for its top-selling multiple sclerosis drug in Europe. The company’s stock jumped $33.19, or 13 percent, to $285.62. Health care stocks have also led gains in the S&P 500 this year, rising 38 percent. The industry is attractive to investors. Some of its companies, like Biogen Idec, offer the possibility of explosive growth. Others are established players like Pfizer, which pays big dividends.

Cellphones could Deadly fire lost in JFK’s death make flights noisier NEW YORK (AP) — Airline passengers have already been stripped of their legroom, hot meals and personal space. Now, they might also lose their silence. The Federal Communications Commission is considering lifting its longtime prohibition on making cellphone calls on airplanes, saying it is time “to review our outdated and restrictive rules.” But for many passengers, that would mean the elimination of one of the last sanctuaries from our hyper-connected world. Everybody wants the ability to stay connected while traveling, but nobody wants to be trapped next to some guy yapping away during the entire trip from New York to Las Vegas. “The only way I’d be in favor of this is if the FCC mandated that all those who want to use their cellphones

must sit next to families with screaming children,” said frequent flier Joe Winogradoff. Amtrak and many local commuter railways have created quiet cars for those who don’t want to be trapped next to a loud talker. It’s not hard to envision airlines offering “quiet rows,” although there will probably be an extra fee to sit there. Hopefully, they’ll be more effective than the old smoking and non-smoking sections. One flight attendant union has already come out against any change, saying that a plane full of chattering passengers could lead to arguments and undermine safety. Passenger Kai Xu had another concern: What’s going to happen to the already limited bathrooms on the plane?

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — While a restless nation slept in the hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, flames tore through a nursing home in rural northern Ohio, killing 63 people in what remains one of the worst such fires in U.S. history. Many victims had been restrained to their beds or trapped behind wheelchairs that were too wide for the exits. Investigators later blamed faulty wiring and found the nursing home didn’t have an evacuation plan. Overshadowed by the shooting in Dallas 50 years ago and largely forgotten today, the deadly fire along with a string of other nursing home fires in the 1960s helped bring about better federal and state oversight and uniform safety rules for the industry. Until then, inspections and regulations left to the states were inconsistent, and there were no requirements

for sprinklers, fire drills or safety plans. The result was a series of multiple-death nursing home fires that killed an average of 15 people per year during the 1960s and early 1970s, said Tom Jaeger, of Great Falls, Va., a longtime consultant to the nursing home industry. Now, with stricter safety codes and sprinklers in nearly every nursing home, the number killed in multiple-death nursing home fires is less than two each year, Jaeger said. The industry has made great strides in reducing those fires, but health experts and regulators warned just this year that many nursing homes are ill-prepared for natural disasters after examining responses to Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. Some of the warnings being sounded today about evacuation plans are similar to the complaints that came up after the fire on Nov.

23, 1963, that killed all but 21 of the residents at the Golden Age Nursing Home in Fitchville, a village between Toledo and Cleveland. The fire began just before 5 a.m. in the attic of the one-story building, burned through the phone lines and spread before anyone knew what was happening. By the time firefighters arrived 10 minutes later, the building was burning from one end to the other. Passers-by and employees managed to get a few residents out. Steve Pierce said his father went in four or five times before the roof collapsed. “I remember his clothes smelled so bad I think mom said she had to bury them,” said Pierce, who still lives nearby. Jerry Earl, who was 18 at the time, said the flames were shooting through the roof when he arrived with his father, a fire chief in a neighboring village.

Kevin Hyland, head of the Metropolitan Police’s human trafficking unit speaks to the media outside New Scotland Yard’s headquarters in London in this image taken from TV Thursday Nov. 21, 2013. London police say three women were held for at least 30 years against their will in a south London home.

UK police: Three women were ‘slaves’ LONDON (AP) — Three women who were freed from a London home after 30 years had been allowed outside in “carefully controlled circumstances” during their ordeal but were victims of “slavery, in simple terms,” a senior British police officer said Friday. Commander Steve Rodhouse described a “complicated and disturbing picture of emotional control over many years” in the case of the women, declining to say how they wound up in the south London home. Two suspects, a man and a woman, were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of forced labor and domestic servitude. He said investigators are trying to figure out “what were the invisible handcuffs that were used” to exert such control for the 30 years the women were allegedly held captive and subject to physical, mental and emotional abuse. “It is not as brutally obvious as women being physically restrained inside

Evolution debate engulfs Texas board of education AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Long-simmering ideological objections to teaching evolution in Texas boiled over at a late-night meeting, as the Board of Education extended preliminary approval of new science textbooks but held up one biology tome because of alleged factual errors. With midnight looming, some board members on Thursday singled out a textbook by Pearson Education, one of America’s largest publishers. They voiced questions about the book’s assertions on natural selection, noting that the theory of evolution is only part of the explanation for how life developed on Earth. After a lengthy — sometimes testy — debate, the board voted to have three of its members pick a trio of outside

experts to scrutinize the book. If the issues can be resolved in the coming weeks, it will win approval. If not, the book will be returned to the board for consideration at its January meeting. What Texas decides is important nationally since it is so large that many books prepared for publication in the state also are marketed elsewhere around the country. Textbook and classroom curriculum battles have long raged in Texas pitting creationists — those who see God’s hand in the creation of the universe — against academics who worry about religious and political ideology trumping scientific fact. At issue this time are proposed high school textbooks that could be used statewide starting next school year and through 2022.

an address and not being allowed to leave,” Rodhouse said. “This may have appeared to be a normal family.” The disclosure Thursday that a 69-year-old Malaysian, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-yearold Briton were freed after apparently spending 30 years in captivity prompted a flurry of speculation and questions about how such a tragedy escaped notice for so long. The arrests were made after the Irish woman phoned a charity last month to say she was being held against her will along with two others. The charity engaged in a series of secretive conversations with the women and contacted police. Two of the women eventually left the house, and police rescued the third. The case has sent shockwaves throughout Britain and around the world, but is the latest horrifying case of a broader phenomenon that officials warn is still happening — and on the rise.

War on the little guy Marty the Magician performed magic tricks for kids, including the traditional rabbit-out-ofa-hat. Then one day: “I was signing autographs and taking pictures with children and their parents,” he told me. “Suddenly, a badge was thrown into the mix, and an inspector said, ‘Let me see your license.’” In “Harry Potter” books, a creepy Ministry of Magic controls young wizards. Now in the USA, government regulates stage magicians — one of the countless ways it makes life harder for the little JOHN guy. Marty’s torment didn’t end STOSSEL with a demand for his license. “She said, from now on, you cannot use your rabbit until you fill out paperwork, pay the $40 license fee. We’ll have to inspect your home.” Ten times since, regulators showed up unannounced at Marty’s house. At one point, an inspector he hadn’t seen before appeared. He hoped things had Tour guides must pay changed for the better. about $200 for criminal “I got a background checks, new inspector and I said, oh, provide four personal did my first references, show one retire? She said, passport photos and ‘No, good news! We’ve pass a written test — a increased our difficult one. budget and we have more inspectors now. So we’ll be able to visit you more often.’” Here are your tax dollars at work. The inspectors told Marty that the Animal Welfare Act required him to file paperwork demonstrating that he had “a comprehensive written disaster plan detailing everything I would do with my rabbit in the event of a fire, a flood, a tornado, an ice storm.” The federal forms list “common emergencies likely to happen to your facility … not necessarily limited to: structural fire, electrical outage, disruption in clean water or feed supply, disruption in access to facility (e.g., road closures), intentional attack on the facilities … earthquake, landslide/mudslide/ avalanche … “ Sadly, this Kafkaesque enforcement of petty rules is not a bizarre exception. Some regulation is useful. But when we passively accept government regulation of everything, thinking we’re protecting people from evil corporations run amok, we’re really making life harder for ordinary people. Every profession, from cab driving to floral arrangement, is now burdened with complex rules. You can’t even give tours of Washington, D.C., the city that produces most of these insane rules, without getting a special license. Tour guides must pay about $200 for criminal background checks, provide four personal references, show passport photos and pass a written test — a difficult one. People who reflexively defend government may feel no pity for businesses that face extra costs: Let businesses pay fees and take tests — we don’t want unlicensed tour guides describing famous statues incorrectly! But these costs add up. Often, they make a small, barely profitable business impossible to operate. These rules also violate Americans’ right to free speech. They are unnecessary. If tour guides are no good, people can patronize others. The government doesn’t need to be gatekeeper. These rules generally prevail because existing businesses are politically connected. They capture licensing boards and use license rules to crush competition from businesses just getting started. In some places, you can’t open a business like a limo service or moving van company unless you can prove that your business is needed and won’t undermine existing businesses in the same field. But undermining competition is the whole idea. If Starbucks or Home Depot had to prove new coffee shops and hardware stores were “needed,” we wouldn’t have those companies. Apparently they were needed, since these companies thrived, but no one could have “proven” that beforehand. Jeff Rowes, an attorney at the Institute for Justice, a civil liberties group that defends many people caught up in regulatory cases, says, “America was conceived as a sea of liberty with islands of government power. We’re now a sea of government power with ever-shrinking islands of liberty.” The little guys don’t have an army of lawyers to defend those islands of liberty one regulatory battle at a time. We should get rid of most of these regulations — and sail back, together, to a free country.

Voice Of The People • Veterans wreath project succeeds To the editor: It is with pride that I can report that this year’s drive for wreaths for the veterans’ graves at Marion, Ind., has been a success. We now have almost 1,200 wreaths, 400 more than last year, to place on the graves of deceased veterans at Marion. These wreaths will be placed on Dec. 14 at noon at the Marion National Cemetery. Everyone is invited to attend and encour-

aged to attend. Although we exceeded last year’s count by almost 400, it is still not enough. There are more than 10,000 graves at Marion, and with only 1,200 graves having wreaths, it still looks sparse. We continue to encourage everyone’s participation in this wreath project. A mere $15 will buy a wreath for a grave; however, a $30 contribution will purchase three wreaths. The ceremony at Marion National Cemetery on Dec. 14 at noon is an enlightening ceremony honoring the veterans who

have passed. There will be a guest speaker as well as the laying of the wreaths. Everyone in attendance is encouraged to take wreaths and place them on graves. If you have a friend or a loved one, you may place a wreath on their grave at the cemetery. Once again, I would like to thank all those in this community who have contributed to the wreath project and further encourage others to participate. Thank you. Hugh N. Taylor Waterloo

Fresh herbs, spices key to cooking great Thanksgiving turkey Thanksgiving is a traditional holiday with a delicious turkey taking center stage. Celebrate the holiday with a scrumptious turkey recipe that harkens back to Colonial times from culinary historian and PBS-TV chef Walter Staib. “Thanksgiving is about creating family traditions, about taking time to be with loved ones and honoring generations-old values,” explains Staib, City Tavern of Philadelphia proprietor. “It’s the only truly American holiday centered around savoring our nation’s culinary heritage.” This simple turkey recipe is based on what our forefathers ate at their celebrations. “It will taste just as delicious now as it did to our Founding Fathers.” This Early American Roasted Turkey recipe by Staib serves 8 to 10 people. 1 (18- to 20-pound) turkey, with giblets Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 medium yellow onion, quartered 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme 2 medium shallots, finely chopped 1 bunch fresh sage, on

stem 1 bunch fresh tarragon, on stem 1 Tbsp. olive oil Preheat oven to 325° F. Place oven rack on bottom level. Place wire roasting rack in large roasting pan and spray with vegetable cooking spray. Remove giblets, neck and any visible fat from cavity. Discard liver and fat. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle turkey cavity with salt and pepper. Place quartered onion inside. In small bowl, combine parsley, thyme, shallots and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Rub herb mixture on meat under the skin on each side of the breastbone. Place fresh sage and tarragon under skin, leaving whole. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and twist the wing tips behind the back. Place turkey, breast side up, in prepared roasting pan. Roast for about 2 hours, until breast is browned. Cover with foil and roast for 3 to 4 hours, basting the turkey every 15 minutes with its own juices. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in a thigh muscle registers 180–185 degrees.

NATION: Dallas became stronger following tragedy FROM PAGE A1

Today will be cloudy with a possibility of scattered showers. Highs will be in the mid-30s. Tonight’s low will dip to 18 degrees. Sunny and colder Sunday with a daytime high of 27 and an overnight low in the teens. Chance of rain returns Monday. Daytime highs will be in the mid-30s, low of 27.

said at the largest memorial service, in Dealey Plaza, the scene of the Nov. 22, 1963, shooting. “We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard. Our president had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world.” Rawlings told about 5,000 people gathered under gray skies in near-freezing temperatures that the slaying prompted Dallas to “turn civic heartbreak into hard work” and helped the city to mature. Kennedy “and our city will forever be linked in tragedy, yes,” he said. “But out of tragedy, an opportunity was granted to us how to face the future when it’s the darkest and uncertain.” Rawlings unveiled a plaque with remarks Kennedy was supposed to deliver later that day in Dallas. His remarks were followed a

said about the students’ project. “We don’t necessarily see people living in cardboard boxes in LaGrange County. But the police have called us to ask for help when they find someone sleeping in their car, or sleeping at the city park.” One problem LaGrange County has is a lack of resources to meet homeless people’s immediate needs, VanOsdal said. “Right now, the only way we have as a community to deal with homelessness is to ask them to leave,” he said. “They have to go to Auburn, they have to go to Fort

grave, joined by about 10 members of the Kennedy family. They clasped hands for a short, silent prayer and left roses as a few hundred onlookers watched. In Dallas, the bitter weather was far different from the bright sunshine that filled the day Kennedy died. “President Kennedy has always been kind of revered in our family,” Colleen Bonner, 41, of suburban Hurst, said. “I just wanted to honor his memory, and I wanted to be a part of history.” In a nod to Kennedy’s military service, the U.S. Naval Academy Men’s Glee Club sang at the ceremony, but an Air Force flyover was canceled because of the weather. In Boston, Gov. Deval Patrick and Maj. Gen. Scott Rice of the Massachusetts National Guard endured a heavy rain during a wreathlaying ceremony.

mournful tolling of bells and a moment of silence. The plaza includes the Texas School Book Depository building, where sniper Lee Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor above the president’s motorcade. A stage for the memorial ceremony, just south of the depository building, was backed with a large banner showing Kennedy’s profile. Video screens showed images of Kennedy with his family. Shortly after sunrise, Attorney General Eric Holder paid his respects at Kennedy’s recently refurbished grave at Arlington National Cemetery, where a British cavalry officer stood guard, bagpipes played and a flame burned steadily as it has for the last half-century. About an hour later, Jean Kennedy Smith, 85, the last surviving Kennedy sibling, laid a wreath at her brother’s

Wayne shelters, we have to send them to Elkhart and South Bend, and the problem is … very few shelters take families.” Wednesday afternoon, members of the DECA club and their sponsor, economics and business teacher Robert Albaugh, were on the phone trying to round up enough cardboard to house eight people for the night. The students plan to start setting up their cardboard homes around 4 p.m. today and stay until 8 a.m. Sunday. Albaugh said anyone driving by is welcome to stop in, visit and donate to the cause.

Region’s income improving Northeast Indiana’s economy has $1.2 billion more in personal income circulating than at this time last year, a new report says. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released 2012 per capita personal income numbers this week. It said northeast Indiana is outpacing the nation by showing a 5 percent growth rate, compared to the national rate of 3.4 percent. The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership is tracking per capita personal income. It said in 2009, per capita income in northeast Indiana was 79 percent of the national average.

the club money, he said club members would welcome a donation of a coat, a hat, or pair of gloves, which would be given to the Clothes and Food Basket of LaGrange County. Albaugh added that he wants to teaches his students that life is about more than just good business. “The lesson here is about community service, about giving back,” Albaugh said. “It’s good in life to make money and be successful, but if you don’t give back, then you’re not a complete person. We’re a projectbased learning school, and what better project than this for one of my classes?”

Today, northeast Indiana has improved to 81.2 per of the U.S. average. Northeast Indiana’s figure is $35,509; the U.S. average is $43,735. For the past several decades, per capita personal income in Northeast Indiana has been declining relative to the nation, but that trend has been effectively reversed in the past three years, the partnership said. “Reversing this downward trend in per capita income is a great affirmation of our collaborative efforts here in the region,” said John Sampson, president and CEO of the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership.

ment rate dropped 0.6 of a percentage point in September to 6.7 percent, and rose slightly to 6.8 percent in October. Steuben County’s unemployment rate fell 0.7 of a percentage point in September to 6.8 percent, then rose to 6.9 percent in October. Unemployment in Allen County dropped 0.5 of a percentage point in October to 6.7 percent. All counties in Indiana are now below 10 percent unemployment; Fountain County leads the state with an unemployment rate of 9.8 percent. Steuben County was tied for 43rd in the monthly rankings. Labor force numbers were mixed over the two-month period, with the total labor force numbers rising in LaGrange County and falling in DeKalb County each month. Noble and Steuben counties each saw a slightly larger labor force in September before those numbers fell in October. The state unemployment rate has dropped by nearly 1 percentage point over the past three months to 7.5 percent. The Department of Workforce Development said it is the largest three-month drop in more than 20 years. The last time Indiana’s unemployment rate stood below 8 percent was November 2008. “Like every Hoosier,

I welcome the news that Indiana’s unemployment rate has dropped to 7.5 percent,” said Gov. Mike Pence. “It is a testament to the resilience of the hard-working people of Indiana, the businesses of our state and the policies that we have been embracing during these difficult times.” Private-sector employment in Indiana grew by 6,600 jobs in October, with gains concentrated in the manufacturing, construction and private educational and health services sectors, the DWD said. The state’s rate of private-sector growth — 8.4 percent — has continued to significantly outpace the national average since July 2009. “Indiana’s unemployment rate is more than 1 percentage point below where it was in January, which is definitely significant,” said Scott B. Sanders, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “The steady private-sector job growth the Hoosier State has been experiencing for some time now is finally beginning to be reflected in the unemployment rate, which many businesses and individuals rely on to make important economic decisions.” “Indiana’s pro-growth policies of fiscal responsibility, lower taxes and less red tape are giving Hoosier businesses the confidence to grow and attracting new investment and jobs to our state,” said Pence.

CONNECTICUT ....................59 INDIANA ....................................58

FORT WAYNE — East Noble’s girls basketball team did not find the hapless Fort Wayne North Side team it may have figured to meet based on the Redskins winless record. North Side instead showed up with a spirited attack against the Knights, shooting at-will from distance and banging against the taller Knights in the post. And still, East Noble (2-1) emerged victorious, outlasting the Redskins (0-3) with free-throw shooting, effective rebounding and aggressive defense, 61-55. Kourtney and Kavan Edwards both finished with double-doubles

for the Knights, who shot just 37 percent from the field as a team but pulled down 48 team rebounds and shot 24 of 41 from the line. “It was rough,” said East Noble coach DeAnn Booth. “We were able to get through some adversity and get through stellar shooting on their part from the outside. We were able to find their weakness in the second half in the post, we banged it in there and were able to score.” The Knights went into the half trailing 32-27 and reeling from a 21-point quarter by North Side. In the locker room, Booth said she coached her team to slow the game down and exercise patience against the Redskins.

The plan found the post open, and the considerably bigger Knights used their size to score the basketball, but moreso to draw fouls. North Side coach Jaymee Wappes said her game plan with a smaller post presence was to focus on tips inside and boxing out on rebound opportunities, and said she was pleased with the performance despite the number of fouls called against the Redskins. That size difference played into the hands of the Knights 6-1 senior post tandem, Kourtney and Kavan Edwards. Kourtney Edwards finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds, and Kavan Edwards added 13 points and 18 rebounds.

“Our two big girls played an awesome game tonight,” said Booth. Defensively, Booth’s team spent much of the game watching three-point shots fly from North Side’s senior guards Sierra Miranda and Zorana Lincner, who shot 26 of the Redskins’ 31 three-point tries and draining all nine. Miranda, who Wappes said keys the Redskins offense, finished with a game-high 28 points, and Lincner added 13. Even with those scoring outputs, Booth praised her team’s defense, especially guards Kerri Schrock and Lanie Allen, who keyed on Miranda and Lincner. SEE KNIGHTS, PAGE B2

Napier, who scored 27 points and dominated the 18th-ranked Huskies’ 59-58 victory over Indiana in the championship game of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project, was more than happy to hear Walker’s name come up. “Of course I do,” said Napier, a key reserve on the 2011 national championship team that Walker starred on. “That’s my big brother. JAMES FISHER I try to emulate everything that he does.” While Walker, who plays for the Charlotte Bobcats, had an 11-game run for the ages when he led the Huskies to the Big East title and then the NCAA championship, Napier had a night that will be talked about for a while among the Connecticut faithful. “The fans love him and he loves the fans,” said Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie, a former standout guard for the Huskies himself. “He gave the folks from Storrs a good trip back in Tuesday’s game at Wawasee home.” before forcing overtime and Napier’s driving basket with 1:34 claiming a 37-33 win. left to play turned out to be the final “The Wawasee game, it gave us points of the game. confidence we haven’t had in years Indiana turned the ball over twice going into a big conference game, and Yogi Ferrell missed a jumper in and we knew we could win,” said that span. Napier missed a 3-pointer Lakeland senior Abi Thompson, and was called for an offensive foul who finished Friday’s game with in the hectic finish that had the crowd 20 points, five rebounds and three at Madison Square Garden standing steals. for the final 90 seconds.

Battle to the very end Lakeland rallies to beat Prairie Heights on late shot BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — The stunned look on the faces of the Prairie Heights players spoke volumes. “The wheels kind of fell off,” said Prairie Heights coach Jennifer Holden, whose Panthers fell 51-49 at Lakeland on Friday. But it wasn’t what the Panthers did wrong in Friday’s NECC showdown, it was what the Lakers

did right. “We never give up, we just don’t,” said Lakeland coach Sheila Moore. “It’s a huge win for us.” Lakeland’s Blake Mullett hit a jumper with five seconds remaining, then grabbed a steal to wrap up a stunning come-from-behind win for the Lakers. It was the second game in a row the team rallied from behind to win. The squad trailed

KENDALLVILLE — Michigan State will be gaining another member of the Sharp family. East Noble senior Michael Sharp recently signed a National Letter of Intent to play golf for the Spartans. He joins his sister Katie, who is already a member of the Michigan State women’s golf team. “It’s great, you don’t get many Division I athletes over the years,” said Dick Bentz, who coached both players at East Noble. “You couldn’t ask for a better person, and both were ranked high in their classes.” Michael Sharp has been a state qualifier all three years of his

18,900

17,900

career at East Noble. “It’s tough just to get there,” Bentz said. “You have to play well in the right matches.” Sharp shot a 142 last spring at The Legends Golf Club near Franklin to place seventh in the state as a junior. The prior year, he had a remarkable opening round and was in second place before falling in the standings on the final day. As a freshman, his 143 was good for fifth in the state. “Michael is a young man who made it clear early that he wanted to be a Spartan and we couldn’t have been more excited for his passion for MSU,” stated Spartan coach Casey Lubahn.

George’s 27 points lead Pacers BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics played a sloppy second half and the Indiana Pacers made them pay. Down by eight points at halftime, the Pacers charged back for a 97-82 win Friday night behind 27 points from Paul George to improve the best record in the Eastern Conference. Indiana (11-1) trailed at halftime in nine of its games. Its latest comeback was helped by Boston’s 16 turnovers in the second half, leading to 23 points. “Our starters, as a unit, have a gear defensively that they can reach that’s pretty special,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. “They hit that in the third and took control of the game.” The Pacers shut down Jordan Crawford after he made all eight of his field goal attempts and scored 19 points in the first half. He finished with a season-high 24. “I think probably I was lackadaisical,” he said, “disappointed in myself, didn’t complete the game.” Crawford committed six turnovers in the second half when Boston, which hit 59 percent of its shots in the first half, connected on just 40 percent. “We passed (the Pacers) the ball too much,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. “That probably had a lot to do with our shot selection.” Trailing 50-42 at halftime, Indiana outscored Boston 25-8 in the third quarter to take a 67-58 lead. It was the Celtics’ lowest scoring quarter of the season, worse than the 11 points they had in the second period of a 93-87 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Oct. 30. The Pacers kept rolling with a 30-24 fourth quarter. George had 22 points in the second half. “Whatever the circumstance is in the first half,” he said, halftime “is the time for us to re-evaluate what’s going on.” David West and Luis Scola each had 17 points for Indiana, which had lost its previous four games against Boston. Lance Stephenson had 10 points, 10 assists, 11 rebounds and four steals. “We need to come out and destroy teams early,” Stephenson said.

HOOSIERS: Indiana had 2 chances in final moments but were unable to connect FROM PAGE B1

“He is an incredible high level guard,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said of the 6-foot-1 Napier. “That is a 12-, 13-year pro. I don’t care about size. He creates tremendous separation.” Indiana (5-1) had the last scoring chance. Ferrell missed a jumper with 10 seconds and the rebound rolled out of bounds in front of the Indiana bench off a Connecticut player. The clock showed .2 seconds and after the officials watched the replay, they

restored it to .7 seconds. Jeremy Hollowell inbounded the ball to Noah Vonleh, but his jumper was late and the Huskies (6-0) had the win. “We were looking to spread the court, play basketball. Don’t let them lock in and it just didn’t go,” Crean said of Ferrell’s jumper. On the final play he said they were looking for a lob or catch and shoot. “We didn’t get a great look. They challenged it,” Crean said. “You have

to be dead on there.” Napier was the tournament MVP .He was 10 of 14 from the field, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. He was the only double-figure scorer for the Huskies, but he struggled from the free throw line (3 of 7) and had seven turnovers. Still, every big play down the stretch was his. “Sometimes my teammates let me know,” he said of taking over a game. “Not verbally but how they sometimes

Ashtin Kaminer added 10 points and had five steals for the Lakers. Lakeland also got scoring from Becca Levitz (6 points), Carlee Richardson (6), Mullett (4), Nicole McKibben (3) and Mackenzie Loy (2). Prairie Heights had a great effort from the senior duo of Shawna Carbone and Tressa Terry. Carbone finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds and three steals. “She did a good job, was aggressive, and does a nice job rebounding for us,” Holden said. Terry had 18 points and three steals. The Panthers also got points from McKenzie Kain (4), Haley Kleeberg (3), Saige Dunafin (2) and Alicia Beechy (2). Lakeland (3-1, 1-0 NECC) won its third in a row. The Lakers have victories over the Panthers, Bethany Christian and Wawasee. “I don’t know when the last time it was we were 3-1,” said a jubilant Moore. “And we were in the Goshen game, we could actually be 4-0.” The Panthers used a 12-0 second quarter run to pull away and looked to have the game solidly in hand. Lakeland never led after that until Mullett hit her shot with five seconds left. Lakeland led 13-9 when Terry struck with the opening score of the Panther run. Hurt by poor free throw shooting early in the contest, Heights suddenly

Wappes said even with the loss, she was proud of her team that had been blown out in its two previous games. “It’s a huge moral victory for us,” said Wappes. “Our girls, if you look at our record, have struggled. It was nice to come in on our home court and have a good game. We had a little team meeting, a heart-to-heart, about coming out and playing hard and letting the rest take care of itself, and I think that motivated them a little bit tonight. I couldn’t have asked for a better effort.”

couldn’t miss, with Carbone, McKenzie Kain and Haley Kleeberg each connecting on two attempts. Terry struck with a bucket in between the free throws and Carbone had a steal and score that ended the run, leaving Heights with a 21-13 lead. The Panthers led 27-17 at the half, then opened the third period with a bucket by Carbone and a quick steal and score from Terry, taking the Panther lead to 31-17 — a 14-point margin. The Lakers spent the rest of the game catching up. Back-to-back steals and scores by Thompson and

Kaminer five minutes into the second half allowed Lakeland to close within eight, at 36-28. “Our defense is what sparked it,” Thompson said. Lakeland continued to cut into the Panthers lead and used an early fourth-quarter triple by McKibben and score in close by Richardson to pull within three with five minutes left. Finally, with just over a minute left the Lakers pulled even at 49-49 on a traditional three-point play by Thompson. After exchanging possessions, the Lakers wound up with the ball under their own

basket with 11 seconds left. Mullett would score on an inbounds play, then reached in to make a steal as Heights attempted to inbound the ball. “We were able to keep our composure and it kept us in the game and brought us back,” Thompson said. The Panthers are 2-2 on the season. The squad has wins over Hamilton (65-32) and Elkhart Christian (65-34). They’ll return to action next Friday at home against Westview in another NECC game. The contest was the NECC opener for Lakeland and the first of three-consecutive league meetings. The Lakers are at Central Noble on Tuesday and play at Angola next Friday. Fremont 38, Central Noble 33 In Albion, the Eagles built a double-digit lead at halftime and maintained it after three quarters at 30-18 going into the fourth in their NECC opener.

I know I have to try and score and be more aggressive. … I just go off the flow.” Ferrell, who was hounded all game by Napier, Ryan Boatright and Lasan Kromah, had 19 points on 6-of-19 shooting, 2 of 6 from beyond the arc, and he committed five of Indiana’s 19 turnovers. “They have more experience,” Ferrell said, referring to Indiana’s young roster. “Napier’s a big shot maker for them.”

SHARP: East Noble senior is ranked at the top of his class FROM PAGE B1

“At 6-7, he has the length and power to compete, but also worked hard to control his golf ball and execute in the short game. His demeanor is wonderful for the ups and downs of our game, as he is very steady. “This summer was a wonderful time of growth as he played well in high school, junior and amateur golf. Qualifying for the U.S. Amateur Public Links and being first alternate at the U.S. Amateur qualifying here at Forest Akers showed he is ready to compete at the collegiate level. I expect him to step right in and help us from day one. Additionally, this university is getting an exemplary student as Michael is one of the best we have ever recruited from an academic standpoint.” Sharp is currently No. 1 in his graduating class with a 4.0 grade point average. This winter, he also is a member of the East Noble varsity boys basketball team. “He works hard at that as well,” Bentz said. “I’ve watched him play and he’s improved so much since his sophomore season.” Michigan State also announced that the program signed A.J. Varekois of Rockford, Mich. The pair will begin their Spartan careers in the 2014-15 season. “This has been an extremely fun class for us,” said Lubahn. “Michael and

A.J. are young men that we have built wonderful relationships with over extended periods of time. During the process, we have watched them grow into special players and more importantly, upstanding young men. They are truly first-class character guys and come from great families. “As a staff, we have talked a great deal about how blessed we are to spend four years with these guys in our program, and we feel stronger about that every day.” Bentz is looking forward to this spring and one more season with Sharp on the golf roster. “We have three guys coming back, Michael, Andy Kretler and Evan Hart,” Bentz explained. “We also have some kids from J.V. (junior varsity) last year that could step right into the lineup. You need five guys that can be consistent.” Michael and Katie are the children of Rick and Kimberly Sharp of Kendallville. Bentz feels he’s been blessed with some tremendous golfers over the years at East Noble and holds the Sharp siblings in high regard. “We’ve had a lot of girls golfers, but Katie was the best we’ve ever had and made four trips to state,” he said. “Michael went there three times. We’re hoping to make it four.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Cardinals, Angels make trade ST. LOUIS (AP) — Former World Series MVP David Freese was traded by his hometown St. Louis Cardinals to the Los Angeles Angels in a four-player deal Friday that reunites Albert Pujols with a pair of ex-teammates. In a conference call with media, Freese said he got a welcoming text from Pujols and responded with a reference to the 2011 World Series: “Remember what we did the last time we played together? Let’s go try to do that again.” Freese didn’t think his drop-off in production last season had anything to do with the pressure of being the “hometown kid.” “Obviously, I’m a little sad closing this chapter, but I’m extremely pumped about joining the Angels,” Freese said. “If it was going to go down, I wanted it to happen on a team like the Angels.” St. Louis obtained a new starting center fielder in Peter Bourjos, plus outfield prospect Randal Grichuk. The Cardinals also sent reliever Fernando Salas to the Angels. “Overall, we just felt this was a very compelling deal to make,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. Freese’s departure did not come as a surprise. “I definitely would look myself in the mirror and say, ‘Where am I going to be in March?’” Freese said. “I was ready to go anywhere. I’m excited to get this going.” The 30-year-old was the MVP of the 2011 NL championship series and the World Series, setting a major league record with 21 postseason RBIs and hitting a game-ending, 11th-inning home run in Game 6. Freese injured his back chasing a foul ball into the stands during spring training this year and never hit stride. He hit only .179 in this year’s postseason, going 3-for-19 (.158) with no RBIs in the six-game loss to Boston in the World Series. “David, growing up in St. Louis, this could not have been the easiest place to play,” Mozeliak said. “I do think he may be looking forward to a fresh start. This was not an easy year for him.”

While a high percentage of the nation’s corn crop was harvested by Nov. 17, some farmers waited until the end of the month to bring in their corn.

Expanding livestock production could add value to corn harvest WEST LAFAYETTE — An expanding livestock production sector could add value to corn in coming months — which is welcome news for Indiana growers. Many of the state’s producers saw corn and soybean prices fall in the wake of an EPA-proposed decrease in the Renewable Fuel Standard for 2014, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt says. The bad news for growers, however, is that it could take several months before the effects of expanding animal numbers translate to stronger crop demand. According to Hurt, the profit incentive for expansion of animal numbers is large and animal production was traditionally the way farms added value to abundant and cheap corn supplies. He used hogs as an example. For the 2013-2014 corn-marketing year, live hog prices should average about $67 per hundredweight with a cost of production around $56, he said. That translates to an approximate $32-per-head profit and increases the value of corn marketed through hogs. “For the current corn marketing year, hogs are offering an estimated $6.85 per bushel if the profits from hog production are assigned to the

value of corn,” Hurt said. “This compares to a U.S. Department of Agriculture-estimated price of $4.50 for corn producers. “Unfortunately, it takes time to get into hog production, and gilts retained now will not have marketready pigs until late 2014 when much of the profit incentive will be eroded.” Feed prices are expected to move into a period of moderation over the next several years, which means lower livestock production costs, and increases the likelihood that livestock producers will continue expansion. For hogs, specifically, an expected 1-3 percent breeding herd increase is already underway. Pork production increases should start to appear late in the summer of 2014, which likely will take hog prices down to $58 per hundredweight by late in 2014, Hurt said. “The big profits for hog producers will come during the 2013-2014 corn marketing year, reaching $37 per head of profits, on average, during the second and third quarters of 2014,” he said. “While hog prices are strong, it is really lower feed costs that are providing the strong profitability forecasts.” A growing hog industry, while

helpful in providing additional demand for corn, won’t be enough on its own to boost corn prices to previously high levels, Hurt said. “The hog industry expansion will not be large enough to return corn prices to the previous lofty levels; however, when all animal industries are included it will be a period of growing feed-use base for corn growers,” he said. “It’s anticipated that in coming years there will be a better balance between the crop production sector and the animal sector. “Assuming ethanol use is relatively level in the future, this means that corn farmers have achieved the goal of providing sufficient production for both food and fuel.” Hurt’s full report, “Hogs Provide Near $7 per Bushel Corn Value,” is available in both text and podcast formats via Farmdoc Daily from the University of Illinois at farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2013/11/ hogs-near-7dollar-bushel-cornvalue.html. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Nov. 15 proposed reducing total production of biofuels in 2014 from the current legal mandate of 18.15 billion gallons to 15.21 billion.

Demand drives up price of soybean futures on CBT CHICAGO — On the Chicago Board of Trade this week, soybeans contracts for settlement in January rose 0.4 percent to $12.97 per bushel, which is the highest level for most actively traded futures for one week. Thursday, on the same Chicago Board of Trade, soybeans futures for settlement in January rose by 0.78% to $12.8438 per bushel. Prices held in range between day’s high and low of $12.8463 and $12.7563 per bushel respectively. According to data of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the nation’s export sales of soybeans jumped to 1.38 million metric tons in the week ended Nov. 14 — from 909,122 tons a week earlier and 84 percent of the total amount was bought by the world’s largest soybeans importer, China. The price of the soybeans decreased 8.2 percent this year, because of the estimates of USDA for record high global production, which is expected to reach an unprecedented 283.5 million tons at the end of the year. This is 2.2 million above last month’s forecast and 16.3 million tons above last year’s harvest. Meanwhile, earlier in the week soybeans were pressured after the U.S. Department of Agriculture said that American

As of Nov. 17, 91 percent of the nation’s soybean crop was collected, compared to the five-year average of 86 percent and last year’s 99 percent during the comparable period.

farmers had collected 95 percent of the crop as of Nov.17, near the five-year average of 96 percent and slightly below last year’s 98 percent during the comparable week.The USDA said on Monday that the U.S. harvest accelerated by seven percent last week and remained above the average. As of Nov.17, 91 percent of the crop was collected, compared to the five-year average of 86 percent and last year’s 99 percent during the comparable period. Corn and soybeans drew support on outlook for unfavorable weather in some

key growing areas. DTN reported on Nov. 20 that rainfall in the southern parts of the Midwest will cause delays to the final harvest stage in the end of the week, followed by cold and dry weather early next week which would ease field work. In Brazil, scattered thunderstorms will maintain soil moisture ample for early development of corn and soybeans but will also cause planting delays and some southern areas may see flooding, DTN said. The U.S. is the second largest exporter of soybeans in the world.

Teen knows cutting won’t end her pain DEAR ABBY: I am a 15-year-old girl. Recently I made a new friend, “Mandy,” and confided to her about my dark past of depression. When I explained how I used to cut myself, she burst into tears and told me she had cut herself the day before. I didn’t expect that response. I know from experience that what Mandy is doing is not a good way to handle things. What stopped me from cutting was getting a permanent scar from it. Although plenty of people told me that cutting was no way to deal with my pain, the only one I listened to in the end was myself. I really want Mandy to stop. I told her not to do it, but I’m afraid she will anyway. She’s an amazing person, and she doesn’t deserve the pain she is causing herself. How can I help her? — BEEN THERE

IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR BEEN THERE: Continue encouraging your friend to stop cutting, but if she’s not able to, she may need professional help to quit. It is nothing to be ashamed of. DEAR A ABBY counselor at school might be able to help Jeanne Phillips if Mandy is willing to talk to one. But if she isn’t, then tell your mother about this so she can let Mandy’s mother know what’s going on. Cutting can be a sign of serious depression, and secrets of this kind are destructive.

DEAR ABBY: My 12-year-old son still calls me Mommy. My daughter, who is two years older, calls me Mom. I don’t want to hurt my son’s feelings, but I think at his age he should transition to calling me Mom. Should I just give it time, or is there an age limit for calling one’s mother Mommy? — JUST MOM DEAR JUST MOM: I think you should keep your mouth shut. There is nothing shameful or wrong about a son calling his mother Mommy if that is what he has done all his life. It’s far more loving than some of the names people have written to me when referring to their mothers. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips.

Untreated bacterial vaginosis can be dangerous These “newcomers” are not normally present in the vagina in such large numbers. Many women with BV do not have symptoms. In those who do, it can cause the “fishy” vaginal odor that you describe. It can also cause a yellow or white vaginal discharge. ASK The discharge DOCTOR K. seen in BV tends to be thinner than Dr. Anthony the “cheesy,” thick Komaroff discharge seen in vaginal yeast infections. Your doctor can diagnose BV based on the results of a gynecological exam and lab tests of your vaginal fluid. There is no perfect test.

•

But if you have three of the following criteria, you likely have bacterial vaginosis: • white, thin coating on your vaginal walls during the pelvic exam; • a pH test of vaginal discharge that shows low acidity; • fishy odor of vaginal discharge; • vaginal skin cells that are coated with bacteria when the doctor looks at your discharge under a microscope. Doctors commonly treat BV with antibiotics that eliminate specific bacteria. These drugs can be taken as pills by mouth or applied as a vaginal cream or gel; both treatments are equally effective. But if you are pregnant, some experts recommend the pills instead of the vaginal gel, because they get deeper into potentially infected tissues and may be more effective in eradicating the infection.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have a strong “fishy” vaginal odor and a little discharge. My doctor recommended Monistat, but that hasn’t helped. What can I do? DEAR READER: Miconazole (Monistat) is an antifungal medication. It treats vaginal yeast infections, which are caused by a fungus. If Monistat didn’t work, you most likely don’t have a yeast infection. Instead, you probably have bacterial vaginosis (BV). This condition causes symptoms that are similar to those of a yeast infection, but it results from a change in the type of bacteria found in the vagina. Normally, bacteria belonging mostly to the Lactobacillus family live harmlessly in the vagina. There, they produce chemicals that keep the vagina mildly acidic. In BV, these bacteria are replaced by other types of bacteria.

All women with symptoms of BV should be treated. Left untreated, the condition may cause pelvic inflammatory disease, an infection involving the uterus, ovaries, or the tubes from the ovaries to the uterus (the oviducts). The infection can spread to other nearby organs, such as the liver. Pelvic inflammatory disease can produce pain, fevers and sometimes discharge from the vagina. If it is not promptly diagnosed and treated, it can cause scarring of the oviducts. This, in turn, can lead to infertility. That’s because the eggs cannot get past the scar tissue. In women who are pregnant, BV increases the risk of premature labor and delivery. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

Roof collapses on busy Latvian supermarket RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Hordes of shoppers were picking up food after work in the Latvian capital when an enormous section of the supermarket’s roof caved in. Firefighters rushed in to save them, only to be crushed themselves when a second part of the roof collapsed. The death toll from the rush-hour disaster Thursday evening at the Maxima supermarket in Riga rose to 50 on Friday, including three firefighters, police said. Spokesman Toms Sadovskis said the death toll is expected to go even higher, and that two of the dead were still unidentified. At least 35 people were injured, 28 of them hospitalized, including 10 firefighters struck just as they entered the unstable building, the Fire and Rescue Service said. It was the largest tragedy for the Baltic state since it regained independence in 1991. Latvia’s government declared three days of mourning starting Saturday. The rescue agency could not say how many people might be trapped under the rubble in the densely populated, working-class neighborhood between downtown Riga and the city’s airport. The reason for the collapse was still not known, but rescue and police officials said workers

had been building a garden and children’s playground on the roof as part of a design combining the supermarket and a new 12-story residential building behind it. “They loaded so much material on that roof over the past two weeks that I simply don’t understand,” said Nina Kameneva, a retiree who lives on the 7th floor of an apartment building overlooking the supermarket. She said she and her husband were in the kitchen when the first collapse occurred at approximately 4:45 p.m. on Thursday — a jolt so powerful it shook their building, Kameneva said. She said they both rushed out onto their balcony, from where they saw survivors trying to scramble out of the store through a cloud of dust. Riga Mayor Nils Usakovs told reporters that large bags of earth and sand on a weak spot on the roof could have caused the collapse. An enormous crater-like hole gaped in the supermarket’s roof, while building materials were still stacked on the remaining sections. Rescue workers kept up their round-the-clock search for possible survivors as darkness fell on Friday, periodically turning off all equipment and asking

A view of collapsed Maxima supermarket in Riga, Latvia, Friday. At least 50 people died, including three firefighters, after an enormous section of roof collapsed at a supermarket in the country’s capital, emergency medical officials said. The reason for the

said the search for survivors was proceeding slowly, since both the rubble and the remaining sections of the roof were fragile and could easily collapse further if the wrong piece was moved.

collapse during shopping rush-hour Thursday was still not known, but rescue and police officials said that possible theories include building’s design flaws and poor construction work.

About 500 square meters (5,300 square feet) of the roof collapsed, the rescue service estimated, destroying large sections of the store’s high walls and nearly all its front windows. Several large construc-
