GOOD MORNING Avilla hunter falls from tree stand WATERLOO — An Avilla man was injured when he fell from an elevated tree stand Sunday, Indiana Conservation Officers said. Victor Hernandez, 50, was hunting deer in the 2800 block of C.R. 27 early Sunday morning when he fell approximately 17 feet to the ground. Hernandez sustained a back injury and an internal injury from the fall, officers said. Hernandez was transported privately to DeKalb Health hospital at Auburn and then by ambulance to Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, where he is being treated for his injuries. Indiana Conservation Officers say hunters always should wear a properly fastened and secured safety harness when climbing into, hunting from and climbing down from an elevated tree stand and always use a haul rope or line to haul equipment into and down from a tree stand.

Saving GM costly Final stock sale shows net loss of $10.5 million

Congress renews ban on plastic guns WASHINGTON (AP) — Narrowly beating a midnight deadline, Congress voted Monday to renew an expiring ban on plastic firearms that can evade airport detection machines. But Republicans blocked an effort to toughen the restrictions — the latest defeat for gun-control forces in the year since the grade school massacre in Newtown, Conn. By voice vote, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a 10-year extension of the prohibition against guns that can slip past metal detectors and X-ray machines. The House voted last week for an identical decade-long renewal of the ban, and the measure now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature. Obama, traveling to Africa for ceremonies honoring the late South African president Nelson Mandela, was expected to sign the bill before midnight using an auto pen, a White House official said.

Obama to speak at funeral WASHINGTON (AP) — The comparisons are perhaps inevitable. President Barack Obama and former South African leader Nelson Mandela each served as their nation’s first black president, living symbols of struggles to overcome deep-seated racial tensions. Each was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. But as Obama prepares to honor Mandela at a memorial service today in South Africa, people close to the U.S. president

say he is well-aware that his rapid rise through America’s political ranks pales in comparison to Mandela’s 27 years in prison fighting against a repressive government that brutally enforced laws that enshrined racial discrimination. “Like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set, and so long as I live, I will do what I can to learn from him,” Obama said in

somber remarks after Mandela died last week at the age of 95. In the days following Mandela’s death, Obama began crafting the 20-minute speech he will deliver during today’s service in Johannesburg, where tens of thousands of South Africans and dozens of foreign dignitaries are expected to pack a sports stadium. Obama is expected to speak of Mandela’s influence on South Africa and on his own life.

DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government ended up losing $10.5 billion on the General Motors bailout, but it says the alternative would have been far worse. The Treasury Department sold its final shares of the Detroit auto giant on Monday, recovering $39 billion of the $49.5 billion it spent to save the dying automaker at the height of the financial crisis five years ago. Without the bailout, the country would have lost more than 1 million jobs, and the economy could have slipped from recession into a depression, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said on a conference call with reporters. “The economic stakes were high, and President Obama understood that inaction was not an option,” Lew said. “His decision to commit additional support to GM while requiring them to fundamentally restructure their business was tough but it was right.” The government received 912 million GM shares, or a 60.8 percent stake, in exchange for the bailout in 2008 and 2009. It began selling shares once GM went public again in November of 2010, and the pace picked up this year as the stock rose more than 40 percent. Last month, the governSEE SAVING GM, PAGE A8

DeKalb foundation awards local grants BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — The DeKalb Area Rural Transit program has received an early Christmas gift — a $5,000 grant from Community Foundation DeKalb County’s Community Grantmaking Fund. The agency is one of many area agencies and organizations to receive grants totaling $61,777 from the foundation and DeKalb’s VOICE. Grant recipients were recognized with a reception at Rieke Park Lodge Monday afternoon. “If it were not for entities such as the Community Foundation of DeKalb County, agencies and organizations such as ours would not be able to provide the same level of care and services,” said Meg Zenk, executive director of the DeKalb County Council on Aging, which operates DART.

“The foundation is truly a partner, and we applaud them for their ongoing leadership and assistance. Thousands of folks in DeKalb County and beyond are blessed by their help,” Zenk said. DART aims to provide affordable public transportation to everyone throughout DeKalb County. This year the program will serve about 1,000 DeKalb County residents of all ages, Zenk said. Other grants awarded through the Community Grantmaking Fund were: • Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum, $5,000 for furnishings and tools for its new Collection Conservation Center, • Butler Early Education Center, $1,227 for tuition scholarships for families; • Children First Center, $4,000 for a Redirecting Children’s SEE FOUNDATION, PAGE A8

Commissioner feels ‘disconnect’ with airport BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — The DeKalb County commissioners on Monday again made no decision after discussing a request to reappoint DeKalb County Airport Authority president Brad Stump to that board. Early last month, airport manager Russ Couchman asked the commissioners to reappoint Stump, whose term expires Dec. 31. The commissioners responded by scheduling an interview session with Couchman and Stump on the “vision of the airport,” saying they wanted to explore all options before making the appointment. At a Nov. 18 meeting, Couchman detailed in depth the

airport’s growth since 1990 and presented the airport’s 20-year plan. Commissioners cut the meeting short before Stump’s reappointment could be discussed and scheduled another session for Monday. Monday, Commissioner Randy Deetz described a “disconnect” between the Airport Authority and the commissioners and county council. Deetz said the airport board has failed to share ideas and expenditures, and he said Stump or a new board member must work to improve communication. “It seems like the airport has become almost an identity of its own and has not been real receptive for sharing of ideas,” Deetz said. “It’s something in my

mind that you as the group that reports to the commissioners needs to work extra hard to come back with, and I think we had a disconnect with sharing concepts and expenditures, direction, with the commissioners, and I really want our new appointment or reappointment, whichever the case may be, to be somebody … that works harder to keep everybody attuned to what’s going on out there. Deetz added, “We can change the direction of the airport with our appointments … and we’ve lost track of what the board’s out there for and what the commissioners are for — to do what’s best for DeKalb County — and the only way that can happen is if we communicate, share ideas or at

least don’t surprise people.” Stump told the commissioners the airport makes an effort to provide any information requested and often provides more information than is asked. Stump said recent requests by the council have been answered in the same way the airport has done for years. Couchman told the commissioners the airport has not changed the way it operates as far as transparency, but rather the commissioners’ expectations have changed. Couchman said the airport will try harder to accommodate the requests. Deetz asked Stump if he could meet his expectations. Stump replied, “I believe so.” The commissioners said

Garrett man jailed in rape investigation

Device lets police track cellphones

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police have purchased a device that allows them to track the movements of anyone nearby with a cellphone and capture the numbers of people’s incoming and outgoing calls and text messages, according to news reports. The Indianapolis Star reports civil liberties and open-government groups worry the technology could be used to violate constitutionally protected rights to privacy if proper checks and balances aren’t in place. State Police aren’t saying what they do with the technology, the Star reports. Citing concerns that releasing any information would endanger public safety by hindering the agency’s ability to fight crime and combat terrorism, they won’t even say whether they ask a judge for a search warrant before they turn the equipment on.

KENDALLVILLE — A Garrett man has been arrested on a preliminary charge of rape for an alleged incident in Kendallville, according to county law enforcement agencies. Brandon D. Shirk, 21, was Shirk booked into the Noble County Jail Friday. An investigation is continuing into a crime Shirk allegedly committed with a victim under 18 years old on South State Street in Kendallville during the last week of October, Kendallville Police Detective Lance Waters said. No other details could be released. Noble Superior Court II Judge Michael Kramer granted an extension of time to file formal charges against Shirk until Wednesday afternoon, said Waters. No formal charges against Shirk had been filed as of Monday afternoon, Waters said, adding it was possible they would be filed as soon as today. Any charges filed against Shirk likely would include one or more felony offenses, he said.

Officers arrest three AUBURN — Local police officers arrested three people Sunday, according to DeKalb County Jail records. Juan Scott, 22, of the 3300 block of Indiana Avenue, Fort Wayne, was arrested Sunday at 12:09 a.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department on a charge of driving while suspended with a prior conviction, a Class A misdemeanor. Samuel Espy, 30, of the 100 block of S.R. 1, Hamilton, was arrested Sunday at 1:46 a.m. by the Butler Police Department on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated at the Class A and Class C misdemeanor level. Guy Lepley, 38, of the 2100 block of Timber Trace, Auburn, was arrested Sunday at 9:10 a.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department on charges of theft, Class D felony, and burglary, a Class C felony.

DeKalb speakers 7th in major meet FORT WAYNE — DeKalb High School’s speech team placed seventh out of 28 schools competing at the Northrop High School Speech Invitational in Fort Wayne on Saturday A total of 430 students from all around the state participated. The top eight teams earned trophies. Fishers won the meet, followed in order by Warren Central, Plymouth, Carroll, Canterbury, Ben Davis, DeKalb and Concord. “DeKalb speakers competed well last Saturday against the best competition the state of Indiana has to offer,” said head coach Andy Comfort. “The Northrop Invitational is

one of the biggest meets of the season aside from the state meet in March. It was challenging to match up against some giant Indianapolis schools such as Warren Central, Ben Davis and Fishers. And, of course, Plymouth and Carroll are both perennial regional powers. One of the aforementioned high schools will probably win the overall state championship this year.“ He added, “I was really pleased with the effort junior Clay Travis showed under this intense competition. Clay had his best performance of the year with second showings in both extemp and impromptu. Also, senior

Codey Albers displayed why he has one of the best broadcasting voices in the area. And of course, junior Vince Rainelli wins another blue Rainelli ribbon for the third consecutive meet.” Individuals placing for DeKalb were: • first place — Vince Rainelli, novice dramatic interpretation; • second place — Codey Albers, varsity broadcasting; Clay Travis, novice impromptu and novice international extemporaneous;

• third place — Annie Ebert, novice original oratory; • fourth place — Dani Esterline, varsity U.S. extemporaneous; Alison Kennedy, novice original oratory; Abby Bainbridge, novice original performance; Sam Comfort, novice U.S. extemporaneous; • sixth place — Will Pierce, novice impromptu; • seventh place — Logan Babcock, novice international extemporaneous; Cameron Stokes, novice U.S. extemporaneous; and • eighth place — Brinn Ruiz, novice broadcasting. DeKalb will compete next at Canterbury High School in mid-January.

Deer meat can feed hungry people CORUNNA — Deer hunters wishing to contribute to feeding hungry people can donate their field-dressed deer. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry is a Corunna-based, nonprofit organization serving needy people in Indiana. The organization aims to combat hunger by making it easy for hunters to donate surplus large game animals to help the needy. Debra Treesh, executive director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, said on average each donated deer provides 50 pounds of high-protein meat to local food banks. The organization’s goal for this

year’s deer hunting season is 3,000 donated animals, translating to 600,000 meals statewide. Hunters wishing to contribute may take their field-dressed deer to any of several participating butchers in the area. Hunters should tell the butcher the intent of the contribution. Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry will pay the processing costs. The meat will remain in the community where it was donated, Treesh said. For a statewide list of participating butchers, visit hoosiersfeedingthehungry.org or contact Treesh at 541-0365.

Interstate crash leaves two injured AUBURN — Two Fort Wayne residents suffered injuries in a two-vehicle crash Sunday at 7:27 p.m. on Interstate 69, just south of U.S. 6, DeKalb County Police said. Marvin Flanery, 52, of the 2000 block of Pauline Street, complained of injuries to his head, neck, back and abdomen. His passenger, Christina Flanery, 82, of the same

address, had a fractured wrist. DeKalb EMS took them to Parkview Regional Medical Center at Fort Wayne for treatment of their injuries. Police said Marvin Flanery was driving a 2001 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck southbound on I-69 when it entered the median. The truck rolled several times before landing in the northbound fog lane, upside

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana residents receiving food stamps will begin receiving their monthly benefits on new dates under a state law approved earlier this year. Officials with the state Family and Social Services Administration said Monday that they will begin spreading out the dates when the more than 900,000 residents enrolled in the program receive their benefits. But the amount each person receives will remain the same. Currently, residents receive their benefits during the first 10 days of each month, divided by the first letter of their last name. But the new system will deliver benefits to one group every other day from the 5th day of the month through the 23rd. The new calendar will go into effect after a one-month transition period.

Briefs • New cockroach tough enough to take winter cold NEW YORK (AP) — The High Line, a park that turned a dilapidated stretch of elevated railway on Manhattan’s West Side into one of New York’s newest tourist attractions, may have brought a different kind of visitor: a cockroach that can withstand harsh winter cold and never seen before in the U.S. Rutgers University insect biologists Jessica Ware and Dominic Evangelista said the species Periplaneta japonica is well documented in Asia but was never confirmed in the United States until now. The scientists, whose findings were published in the Journal of Economic Entomology, say it is too soon to predict the impact but that there is probably little cause for concern. “Because this species is very similar to cockroach species that already exist in the urban environment,” Evangelista said, “they likely will compete with each other for space and for food.” That competition, Ware said, will likely keep the population low, “because more time and energy spent competing means less time and energy to devote to reproduction.” Michael Scharf, a professor of urban entomology at Purdue University, said the discovery is something to monitor. “To be truly invasive, a species has to move in and take over and out-compete a native species,” he said. “There’s no evidence of that, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be concerned about it.”

UN team to inspect uranium in Libya UNITED NATIONS (AP) — An inspection team from the U.N.’s nuclear agency will visit Libya to assess the thousands of barrels of yellowcake uranium that reportedly are being stored in a former military facility amid a “precarious” security situation in the country. The International Atomic Energy Agency team will arrive in the North African country this month to “verify existing stockpiles and conditions of storage,” the U.N. secretary-general’s special representative to Libya told the Security Council on Monday. Tarek Mitri said U.N. authorities have received information “indicating that 6,400 barrels are stored” under the control of an army battalion in a facility near Sabha, in the country’s unstable desert south, where militants and traffickers have roamed since the ouster of dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. “Yellowcake” is concentrated natural uranium and the foundation material in the process to make nuclear fuel.

Rainbow Nation mourners share pain JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Along a street lined with walled mansions shaded by graceful jacaranda trees, mourners, black and white, by the thousands rubbed shoulders Monday outside the villa where Nelson Mandela died, placing flower bouquets and condolence notes on top of piles already knee-high. Others danced while singing praise for the anti-apartheid leader — a vivid example of the “Rainbow Nation” unity of race-blind multiculturalism championed by Mandela for South Africa. As players for the nation’s top Kaizer Chiefs soccer team were escorted inside the villa in one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods to grieve with Mandela’s relatives, hospital receptionist Nelson Jabulani Dube said the crowd of black, white and mixed race mourners transforming a street corner into a makeshift shrine was evidence that Mandela succeeded in breaking down barriers in a country defined for generations by race-based hate. “It’s all because of him, because he forgave the enemies at that time, they no longer are the enemies,”

said Dube, 33. “For me the outcome is really stunning and unites us, and what you see here is a reflection of that.” Michele Marija, an elderly white Johannesburg resident, spontaneously hugged a black woman, calling her “my sister,” after the woman made space for her so she could get a better view of the shrine. Then Marija’s daughters also hugged the woman. Marija insisted that her daughters and granddaughters visit Mandela’s house, saying his decision to forgive his white oppressors after being released from 27 years in jail saved South Africa from brutal bloodshed. “We could easily have had a revolution and here we are now all living happily together which is something like a miracle and it’s all due to Madiba,” Marija said, referring to Mandela by his clan name. Diane Mathabatha, a 60-year-old member of Mandela’s Xhosa tribe visiting Mandela’s house with her grandsons, remembered in the 1990s being bent on revenge along with much of her generation until Mandela got out of prison and said that would

Syrian troops seize town, road DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian troops seized a key opposition-held town Monday along a major north-south highway critical for transporting the government’s chemical weapons stocks to a port where they could be shipped out for destruction by the international community. The government has been cooperating with chemical weapons inspectors, and the capture of the town of Nabek may make the transfer of the stocks go more smoothly. But the head of the global chemical arms watchdog warned that worsening security may make it difficult to meet a Dec. 31 deadline to remove the toxic chemicals from the country. The Syrian army has been on a crushing offensive in the mountainous Qalamoun region near the Lebanese border and has seized a string of towns and villages in the area near

the highway that connects Damascus with the city of Homs to the north. That road serves as a crucial link between the capital and northern Syria as well as government strongholds in the northwest along the Mediterranean. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said last week it would consider using the road to transport the chemical weapons to the port of Latakia from where the arms would be shipped for destruction abroad or at sea. Troops reopened the highway Sunday, nearly 20 days after it was closed because of the fighting. On Monday, state media said President Bashar Assad’s forces took full control of Nabek, which lies on the edge of the road. Lebanese fighters from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group have aided the troops.

Tech companies pressure Obama WASHINGTON (AP) — Silicon Valley is escalating pressure on President Barack Obama to curb the U.S. government surveillance programs that vacuum personal information off the Internet and threaten the technology industry’s financial livelihood. A coalition that includes Google, Apple, Yahoo, Facebook and Microsoft lashed out in an open letter printed Monday in major newspapers and a new website, http://reformgovernmentsurveillance.com . The crusade united eight companies that often compete fiercely against each other, but now find themselves banding together to limit the potential damage from revelations about the National Security Agency’s snooping on Web surfers. Twitter Inc., LinkedIn Corp. and AOL Inc. joined Google Inc., Apple Inc., Yahoo Inc., Facebook Inc. and Microsoft Corp. in the push for tighter controls over electronic espionage. The group is immersed in the lives of just about everyone who uses the Internet or a computing device. As the companies’ services and products have become more deeply ingrained in society, they have become integral cogs

in the economy. Their prosperity also provides them with the cash to pay for lobbyists and fund campaign contributions that sway public policy. Monday’s public relations offensive is a by-product of documents leaked over the past six months by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The records reveal that the NSA has been obtaining emails and other personal data from major tech companies under secret court orders for the past five years and scooping up other data through unauthorized hacking into data centers. Silicon Valley has been fighting back in the courts and in Congress as they seek reforms that would allow them to disclose more information about secret court orders. Several of the companies are also introducing more encryption technology to shield their users’ data from government spies and other prying eyes. Monday’s letter and the new anti-snooping website represent the technology industry’s latest salvo in an attempt to counter any perception that they voluntarily give the government access to users’ email and other sensitive information.

said, adding that their children needed to see the shrine. “It was very important for them to come and say ‘thank you’ to Mandela because today, they can have the kind of lifestyle that they chose,” Xego said.

said. Mncedisi Xego, related to Mathabatha by marriage, came to the shrine with his wife Lesley, who is white, and their children. Their 9-year marriage wouldn’t exist without Mandela, he

U.S. Gov’t Issued coins go to residents in 89 IN counties Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to Indiana residents who find their county listed below, but only those who beat the 48 hour deadline are getting the Vault Bags of nearly 100 year old Gov’t issued coins for just $59 INDIANA - The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 48 hours Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being released to Indiana residents who find their county highlighted in black on the Distribution Map printed in today’s publication. Everyone is rushing to get the Vault Bags because each one is loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins dating all the way back to the early 1900s. “It’s hard to tell how much these heavy Vault Bags could be worth someday. That’s because after they were filled with U.S. Gov’t issued coins, the bags were sealed for good,” said Timothy J. Shissler, Director of Vault Operations for the private World Reserve. Since this advertising announcement can’t stop collectors from hoarding all the rarely seen coins they can get, the World Reserve has imposed a strict limit of 10 Vault Bags per resident. That’s why it’s important that residents call the National Distribution Hotlines beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago for just $59 and shipping and handling, which is a real steal since just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth up to hundreds of dollars in collector value. And here’s the best part. Everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the

Who gets the Vault Bags: Shown below are the Indiana counties that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of the counties highlighted in black immediately call the National Distribution Hotline at: 1-866-211-7348 How much are the Vault Bags worth: Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but here’s why residents are rushing to claim the Vault Bags before they’re all gone. After the Vault Bags were loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t they were sealed for good. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you sort through all the coins. So you better believe at just $ 59 and shipping the Vault Bag fee is a real steal, since just one scarce and highly collectible Indian N RARELY SEEN U.S. COINS LEAVE VAULT: These packages containing Vault Bags loaded with valuable Indian Head coin alone could be worth up to Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being moved from the private vaults of the World Reserve hundreds of dollars in collector value. for immediate distribution to Indiana residents. money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling. “We’re bracing for all the calls because there are just hours left for residents to get the Vault Bags,” Shissler said. So, Indiana residents who find their county highlighted in black on the Distribution Map below need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotlines before the 48-hour deadline ends to get the Vault Bags. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N

RARELY SEEN: YEAR VARIES 1913-1938

How to get the bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins

N U.S. GOV’T ISSUED COINS: These bags are loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins that everyone is rushing to get for just $59. That’s because everyone who beats the 48hour deadline to claim four bags is getting free shipping and free handling.

Shown to the left in black are the Indiana counties that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of the counties highlighted in black immediately call the National Distribution Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends at: 1-866-211-7348

Why is the Vault Bag fee so low: Because thousands of U.S. residents have missed the deadline to claim the money, the World Reserve has re-allocated Vault Bags that will be scheduled to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the money is up for grabs and now any resident who finds their county highlighted in black on the Distribution Map printed in today’s publication gets to claim the Vault Bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Each Vault Bag loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins is set at $78 for residents who miss the deadline, but for those who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $ 59 and the best part is everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling as long as they call the National Distribution Hotline before the deadline ends.

Programs provide answers for letters sent to Santa Claus BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Occasionally, the U.S. Postal Service will get letters to Santa Claus, which are treated as dead letters due to the inherent difficulty of getting all letters delivered to the North Pole this time of year. There are programs in place to make sure children are not disappointed. Some individual post offices have employees who voluntarily reply to letters to Santa. And there’s much more. “Sometimes, local post offices answer. It’s such a wonderful thing,” said Mary K. Dando of corporate communications with the U.S. Postal Service, Indianapolis. “It used to be that we could get others involved. Now it’s a privacy issue.” But those who do take the time to answer Santa letters from the post office are lauded. Dando noted it’s becoming more rare to send and receive handwritten letters. She said letter writing like that also encourages

literacy, which the post office promotes. According to the post office’s website, about.usps. com, there is also a voluntary national program, Letters to Santa. The program is in its 101st year and helps to make children’s holidays wishes come true. The program became official in 1912 when Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized postal employees and citizens to reply to letters. Thousands volunteer to work with post offices on responding to Santa letters. Hundreds of thousands of children send letters to “Santa Claus, North Pole, Alaska.” Unless letters contain the complete Alaska address, they remain in the area from where they were mailed. Postal elves go through letters and separate those expressing serious need. People wishing to adopt a letter may check with their local post offices in person and present a valid identification. They may then select

one or more letters to take with them and sign a form. Each child’s letter has the address redacted and is assigned a number. After an individual fulfills

the child’s wishes with a gift, he or she returns to the same post office and pays postage to mail the package, which is matched with the designated number.

ANGOLA — Trine University has received a $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. as part of the endowment’s Initiative to Promote Opportunities Through Educational Collaborations. Indiana’s 39 accredited colleges universities received a total of $62.7 million in grants from the endowment to enhance and expand opportunities for their college graduates to find meaningful employment in Indiana. Trine University will use its funding to further develop Innovation One, which will address finding a best-fit career preparation program, building skills that meet the needs of employers and finding employment. “Innovation One will address workforce challenges faced by Trine

students and residents of northeast Indiana,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Trine president. “The endowment’s generous support will enable us to prepare our students and the regional workforce to master the skills required to meet the employers’ demands and succeed in the global marketplace.” Trine said it will continue to develop successful co-ops, internships and other opportunities that can lead to meaningful job placement and job creation; collaborate with business and industry to provide hands-on projects that generate results that are beneficial to the clients and educational for Trine students and faculty; and develop collaborations that will result in good employment opportunities in Indiana for college graduates.

DRUG WARRANTS: Some suspects already incarcerated FROM PAGE A1

dealing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school or park, a Class A felony. Damron was arrested on Sunday by the Brown County Sheriff’s Department at a family member’s residence outside the town of Nineveh. Lance Krider, 29, of Garrett on a charge of dealing methamphetamine, a Class A felony. Krider is currently serving a sentence with the Indiana Department of Correction on unrelated charges. The task force said when he finishes his sentence, he will not be released until after he is brought before a court in DeKalb County. Jody Lee, 44, of the 100 block of Pointe Street, Garrett, on charges of dealing a Schedule I, II or III substance, a Class B felony, and maintaining a common nuisance, a Class D felony. Lee was arrested Dec. 3 by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and is currently being held at the DeKalb County Jail on $11,500 Bond. Andrew McCloskey, of the 900 block of Ernest Street, Auburn, on charges of dealing a Schedule I, II or III substance, a Class B Felony, and maintaining a common nuisance, a Class D felony. McCloskey was arrested Dec. 3 by the Auburn Police Department and taken to the DeKalb County Jail. He was released after posting $11,500 bond. Police still are looking for Natasha Peters, 32,

to arrest her on a warrant charging her with two counts of dealing methamphetamine, both as Class B felonies. Police said Peters is believed to be living in the Fort Wayne area. Officers are asking anyone who has information on her whereabouts to contact the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, 925-3365, or a local law enforcement agency. The IMAGE Drug Task Force said it was assisted by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, Auburn Police Department, Butler Police Department and Brown County Sheriff’s Department. IMAGE (Indiana Multi Agency Group Enforcement) is a multi-jurisdictional drug task force made up of officers from Steuben, LaGrange, Noble and DeKalb counties. IMAGE investigates drug-related crimes and is funded in part by a grant from the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant administered through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. IMAGE also receives funding through area prosecutors, law enforcement agencies and organizations such as Drug Free and other civic and community groups. The task force emphasized in its news release that the fact that a person has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation, and all persons charged with crimes are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Storm snarls travel MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Snow and bitter cold snarled traffic and prompted another 1,650 U.S. flight cancellations on Monday, and tens of thousands of people were still without power after January-like weather barged in a month early. The storm covered parts of North Texas in ice over the weekend and then moved East. Below-zero temperatures crowned the top of the U.S. from Idaho to Minnesota, where many roads still had an inch-thick plate of ice, polished smooth by traffic and impervious to ice-melting chemicals, making intersections an adventure. Many travelers wished they were home, and

people in homes without power wished they were somewhere else. Some of the most difficult conditions were in North Texas. More than 22,000 Dallas-area homes and businesses were still without power on Monday, according to electric utility Oncor. That was down from 270,000 on Friday. Dallas students got a snow day. More than half of the nation’s flight cancellations on Monday were at DallasFort Worth International Airport, dominated by American Airlines. About 650 travelers were stranded there Sunday night. Nationally, there have been more than 6,100 flight cancellations since Saturday,

according to FlightStats. com, including more than 2,800 by American or its American Eagle regional airline. American emerged from bankruptcy protection and merged with US Airways on Monday. A flight cancellation meant that Fred and Brenda Mull of Oklahoma City spent Sunday night in a Dallas hotel instead of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. American canceled their Monday morning flight, too, and they weren’t happy as they sat in the international lobby. They’d spent three hours on hold with American, which told them not to go to the airport or search for a new reservation — advice they ignored.

SAVING GM: The company is now sitting on $26.8 billion in cash FROM PAGE A1

ment said it expected to sell the remaining 2 percent stake by the end of the year. GM shares rose 73 cents, or 1.8 percent in after-hours trading following the announcement. They rose 1.8 percent in regular trading, at one point reaching $41.17, the highest level since GM’s 2010 initial public offering. Earlier Monday, Mark Reuss, GM’s North American president, told reporters in Warren, Mich., that a government exit would boost sales,

especially among pickup truck buyers. GM has said repeatedly that some potential customers have stayed away from its brands because they object to the government intervening in a private company’s finances. Because of the bailout, GM had been tagged with the derisive nickname “Government Motors.” During the conference call, treasury officials shrugged off a question about whether GM should have been required to pay more because it has a large cash stockpile, saying that

the bulk of the bailout money was converted to GM stock. Not doing the bailout would have cost the government more than it lost in missed tax revenue and payments for unemployment benefits and pensions, the officials said. The company now is sitting on $26.8 billion in cash and is considering restoration of a dividend. GM went through bankruptcy protection in 2009 and was cleansed of most of its huge debt, while stockholders lost their investments. Since leaving

bankruptcy, GM has been profitable for 15 straight quarters, racking up almost $20 billion in net income on strong new products and rising sales in North America and China. It also has invested $8.8 billion in U.S. facilities and has added about 3,000 workers, bringing U.S. employment to 80,000. The auto bailout was part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, with the bulk of the money going to financial institutions. Treasury said it spent $421.8 billion on bailouts

and so far has recovered $432.7 billion including the loss on GM. The Center for Automotive Research, an Ann Arbor, Mich., think tank, issued an updated report on Monday saying that if the government hadn’t intervened and GM went out of business, nearly 1.9 million jobs would have been lost in 2009 and 2010. Federal and state governments also would have lost $39.4 billion in tax revenue and payments made for unemployment benefits and food stamps, the study said.

Kokomo grinding up tree limbs downed by tornado KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) — City crews used wood chippers to grind up the large number of tree limbs knocked down across Kokomo when two tornadoes hit the city three weeks ago. Workers have been picking up the branches

from around the city and hauling them to a factory parking lot, where large wood chippers have been used to grind them up for use as mulch in city parks. An estimated 22,000 cubic yards of branches have been collected since the severe storms hit Nov.

17, parks Superintendent Randy Morris said.. Those limbs came down on the day when 191 homes in Howard County were destroyed or sustained major damage, with about 800 more with less-severe damage, according to state officials.

The National Weather Service found that two tornadoes with winds of at least 120 mph hit Kokomo that day. Gov. Mike Pence has requested federal disaster assistance for the county about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.

Up to 10 dump truck loads a day in wood chips have been hauled from the factory to a lot near the city’s parks and recreation building. Morris said the wood chips will eventually be used along trails in city parks.

Sunday’s loss.

Colts seeking momentum for playoffs INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Coach Chuck Pagano won’t give anybody a break over the next three weeks. With his offense still struggling to get out of its early-game funk, a defense yielding far too many points and coverage units that have been anything but special, the Colts know there’s too much to fix to take a break. So they will play out the season with as many starters as possible. “We talked today and said, ‘They gave us 16 games, we’re playing 16 games,’” Pagano said Monday. “Right now, we’ve got a lot of things to get better at. We have to go back to work and play good football, consistent football for 60 minutes.” Colts fans should welcome the

philosophical change. After spending years watching team officials rest players when nothing more could be achieved in the playoff hunt — they threw away a shot at a perfect season in 2009 — Pagano made it clear Monday this season would be different. Indy (8-5), a 42-28 loser at Cincinnati, has the luxury of resting players after Tennessee’s loss at Denver handed the Colts the AFC South title. Barring a dramatic change, the Colts will be the No. 4 seed behind AFC West leader Denver (11-2), East leader New England (10-3) and the North-leading Bengals (9-4), who now hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. This is not how the Colts

wanted to go into the playoffs. “You never want to backdoor your way into it, but we won (the division),” NFL sacks leader Robert Mathis said. “We’re in there, punched our ticket to the playoffs. We just have to hit the switch. We have to turn it up and we have to get on the right track: offense, defense and special teams.” Finding flaws shouldn’t be difficult. Fixing them might be. Indy has been outscored 114-24 in the first halves of the last six games, forcing Andrew Luck to take to the air. On Sunday, it was more of the same, though Luck did find some new targets by throwing two touchdowns each to LaVon Brazill and Da’Rick Rogers. SEE COLTS, PAGE B2

Replay reversal ‘judgment’ call INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts coach Chuck Pagano isn’t looking for an apology over Jeff Triplette’s latest officiating controversy. One day after the ref reversed a call on fourth-and-goal, giving the Bengals a touchdown at the end of the first half instead of giving the Colts a stop, Pagano said he was still waiting to hear from the NFL though he knows it won’t change a thing. Triplette made the change after he said the replay showed BenJarvus Green-Ellis was not touched after he stumbled to the ground short of the goal line — even though it appeared Colts nose tackle Josh Chapman tripped up Green-Ellis in the backfield. Green-Ellis then bounced into

the end zone. The Colts wound up losing 42-28 to the Bengals, a game that could have a significant impact on playoff seeding. When asked if the admission of a mistake would make a difference, Pagano responded: “Still 14-0 at half, right? So, no.” After the game, Triplette told a pool reporter that he was only looking to see if Green-Ellis was touched down at the goal line and did not look to see whether Chapman caused the stumble. Chapman then celebrated the fourth-down stop. Chapman insisted Sunday and again Monday that he got a hand on Green-Ellis’ foot., causing him to trip.

Heat-Pacers set to renew their rivalry

On This Day •

Dec. 10, 2006 — Marvin Harrison of Indianapolis is the fourth player in NFL history with 1,000 receptions, joining Jerry Rice, Tim Brown and Cris Carter. Harrison catches a 13yard pass from Peyton Manning early in the fourth quarter to join the elite group.

Indiana Pacers’ Paul George (24) scores during Saturday’s game in San Antonio.

MIAMI (AP) — In the Eastern Conference, there’s Indiana, there’s Miami, and there’s everybody else. Or maybe nobody else. The Pacers and Heat have run away from the rest of the East, and seem destined to meet again in the East finals next spring to pick up where last season’s seven-game thriller left off. Their first of four regularseason meetings is today in Indianapolis, where the Pacers are 9-0 this season, winning by an average of 14.9 points per game. In seven of their nine home games, the Pacers haven’t even faced as much as a five-point deficit. “It’s going to be a playoff atmosphere,” Heat guard Ray Allen said. Added Heat coach Erik Spoelstra: “Indiana’s done a tremendous job so far this season.” Dwyane Wade’s status for the

Heat is unknown; he’s missed six of Miami’s 21 games so far to either rest his oft-ailing knees, or deal with illness. He didn’t play in Miami’s win at Detroit on Sunday night. Miami toppled Indiana in seven games last season to win its third straight East crown. Including playoffs, the Heat are 9-8 in their last 17 meetings against the Pacers, with an average victory margin in those games of only 2.5 points. The Pacers are 18-3 this season, the Heat 16-5. It’s hard to envision any scenario where these aren’t the last two clubs standing in the East. “I don’t really get too much involved in regular-season matchups, especially early in December,” Heat star LeBron James said. “They’re a great team right now. We’re trying to get healthy. We’re trying to get to our full potential.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Jameis Winston will have plenty of company at the Heisman Trophy ceremony — though he’s not expected to have much competition. The Florida State quarterback was among a record-tying six Heisman finalists revealed Monday, along with Northern Illinois’ Jordan Lynch, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel, Alabama’s AJ McCarron, Auburn’s Tre Mason and Boston College’s Andre Williams. Six finalists invited to New York for the presentation are the most since 1994. The winner will be announced Saturday night. Winston is the overwhelming favorite to win the award now that a sexual assault complaint against him in Tallahassee, Fla., has been closed without charges being filed. He could also become the second freshman to win the award. Manziel was the first just last year. Famous Jameis, like Johnny Football last season, is a redshirt freshman. While Winston was a lock to be invited, the rest of the field was muddled. Some contenders had late stumbles (Manziel and Lynch), others (Mason and Williams) made late runs. Manziel will try to join another exclusive Heisman club by becoming the second player to win the award twice. Ohio State’s Archie Griffin won the award in 1974 and ‘75. The Aggies’ quarterback is third in the nation in total offense with 368 yards per game. SEE HEISMAN, PAGE B2

La Russa, Cox, Torre elected to Hall of Fame LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox spent decades trying to beat each other, no holds barred. On this day, however, they were a mutual admiration society. And why not? They were going to the Hall of Fame together. With a combined eight World Series titles and more than 7,500 wins, the managerial trio made it to Cooperstown in results announced Monday. Each was unanimously selected when the 16 voters on the expansion era committee met a day earlier. “They’re not the easiest guys to manage against, that’s for sure. But it was fun. It was always a battle,” Cox said Monday at the winter meetings. “And I consider them enemies on the field, but friends off the field.” All three exceeded the magic benchmark of 2,000 wins — only Connie Mack and John McGraw have won more. “Managing against them, you certainly learned things,” said Torre, now an executive vice president for Major League Baseball. “I am honored to go into the Hall with these two guys.” Induction ceremonies will be held July 27 in Cooperstown, N.Y. Candidates needed 12 votes for election. No one else on the 12-person ballot that included former players’ union head Marvin Miller and late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner got more than six votes. Torre became the fifth manager to win four World Series championships, leading the Yankees to titles in 1996 and from 1998-00 — beating Cox’s Braves twice. After making only one trip to the playoffs in 14 seasons with the New York Mets, St. Louis and Atlanta, Torre guided the Yankees to the postseason in all 12 of his years in New York with a cool, patient demeanor. His popularity rankled Steinbrenner. “George Steinbrenner changed my life giving me that opportunity at the end of ‘95,” said Torre. SEE HALL OF FAME, PAGE B3

Trine rallied to tie on two occasions in the final three and a half minutes. But Elmhurst’s Will Nixon converted a three-point play to give his team a 69-66 lead with 1:54 left and the Bluejays never gave that lead up.

seconds left to secure the win for Calvin. Breanna Verkaik had 19 points, six rebounds and three assists to lead Calvin. Acre and Kayla Englehard each scored 16 points.

Bears win on Ditka Day CHICAGO (AP) — Josh McCown threw for a careerhigh four touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears scored on their first eight possessions to grab a share of the NFC North lead with a 45-28 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on a frigid Monday night. The Bears (7-6) retired Hall of Famer Mike Ditka’s number at halftime and pulled even with Detroit in the division race on a night when the wind chill factor was below zero. Dallas (7-6) fell a game behind Philadelphia in the NFC East. The conditions didn’t stop McCown from throwing for 348 yards or keep the Bears from running away with a lopsided victory after consecutive losses. Gov. Pat Quinn’s office said Monday that he’s declared it “Mike Ditka Day” in honor of the former Chicago Bears player and Super Bowl-winning coach whose jersey was retired. The Hall of Fame tight end’s No. 89 was retired during a halftime ceremony Monday night when the Bears hosted the Dallas

Cowboys. With the 1963 championship and Lombardi trophies along with a Hall of Fame bust alongside him, Ditka

said he’s “been living a dream for 74 years.” Ditka was the 14th Bear to have his number retired by the team.

HEISMAN: Lynch led Northern Illinois to 12-1 mark FROM PAGE B1

Lynch led No. 24 Northern Illinois (12-1) to within a victory of a BCS bid and has set the major college record for yards rushing for a quarterback this season with 1,815. He also tweeted that he was a finalist about five minutes before the official announcement was made on ESPN by 1996 winner Danny Wuerffel. “NYC here I come!! Thanks to the coaches teammates and media relation couldn’t of did it wt out them!” the record-setting senior posted. McCarron completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,676 yards and 26 touchdowns for the fourthranked Crimson Tide (11-1). “This will be my first trip to New York City, and I can’t put into words how much it means to me,” McCarron said in a statement released by the school. “I am truly privileged to have the opportunity to represent our team at the Heisman ceremony. None of this would be possible

without my coaches and teammates.” Mason helped No. 2 Auburn reach the BCS title game, running for 304 yards and four TDs in the SEC championship game. He is ninth in the country in rushing (124 ypg). “When I heard the news, I was in disbelief,” Mason said in a statement. “For me to be invited to the Heisman ceremony, I am honored and blessed. I couldn’t have done it without my teammates; this is an honor for all of them also.” Williams is the nation’s leading rusher at 175 yards per game and the 16th player in FBS to run for 2,000 yards in a season. Winston’s arrival as Florida State’s starting quarterback was being touted as a major event in the spring and he has surpassed the hype. The Alabama native is on pace to break the NCAA record for passer efficiency rating (190.1) and has already set records for yards passing (3,820) and TD passes (38) for a freshman. Winston’s only issues

have come off the field. About a month ago, a year-old sexual assault complaint against him made by a female Florida State student was given by police to the state attorney’s office for a full investigation. A woman claimed Winston raped her. Winston’s lawyer said the sex was consensual. Winston continued to play, and play well, during the investigation. Last week, the state attorney announced there would be no charges filed in the case, and two days later Winston threw for three touchdown passes and ran for a score as No. 1 Florida State won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game 45-7 against Duke and wrapped up a spot in the BCS title game. In the latest straw poll released Monday by HeismanPundit.com, which has correctly predicted the last seven winners, Winston received seven of the 10 first-place votes and 26 points to easily outdistance Lynch (eight points and two first-place votes).

Middle School Basketball DeKalb takes two from Indian Springs WATERLOO — The DeKalb seventh-grade team defeated Indian Springs on Monday night, 46-23. Bryce Handshoe led DeKalb with 11 points. Bailey Clark and Ben Christiansen had eight points each, Kyle Dunham and Dalton Smith also added six points apiece, J.D. Shearer had five points and Tyler Stuckey finished the scoring with a basket. The eighth-grade team also defeated Indian Springs, 39-26. Logan Kruse and Alec Brunson led DeKalb with 10 points apiece. Colin Goebel also added seven points with Adam Ellert scoring four points. Marshall Beard, Troy Hickman and Jared Reutebuch all added baskets, and Brayton Spangler and Jackson Pyck Hontz each made a free throw.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (12) passes against the Cincinnati

Bengals last Sunday. The Colts will face the Houston Texans next.

COLTS: Indianapolis will play 2-12 Texans FROM PAGE B1

That’s a promising sign for an offense that has struggled mightily since losing Reggie Wayne for the season Oct. 20. But the offensive line still allowed too much pressure on the star quarterback and couldn’t get Indy’s new power running game on track. That much change Sunday against Houston (2-12) as the Colts try to extend a streak of 29 games without back-to-back losses. “There’s no pity parties ever thrown here,” Luck said. “It’s always get back to work and let’s do what we know how to do. It’s good to be resilient and hopefully we can keep that streak going.” Defensively, things also are out of sync.

After investing tens of millions in free agency to give Pagano a stouter unit, the Colts have allowed their last six opponents to score 31.8 points per game. But as Mathis knows, generating late-season momentum is not necessarily indicative of future playoff results. A year ago, the Ravens lost four of their last five and still went on to win the Super Bowl. Mathis still tells tales about 2006 when the Colts lost three of four before winning the season finale, a span that included giving up more than 300 yards in a blowout loss to Jacksonville. At the time, most were convinced the Colts would make an early exit. Instead,

they beat Kansas City, won at Baltimore and rallied to beat the Patriots in the AFC title game before bringing home the Lombardi Trophy. And now, Mathis is hearing the same sort of complaints. “You want to be consistent. If you can be consistent, we’re tough to deal with,” he said. “I think we can go all the way when we play the style of football we know we can play.” Pagano isn’t dismissing the notion. He just knows things must get sharper over the next three weeks. “There are signs in all three phases, in all these games where we do some really good stuff,” Pagano said. “We’ve just got to do it on a consistent basis.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Arizona moves to No. 1 in AP poll; Syracuse No. 2 TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona moved up to No. 1 in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll for the first time since 2003 on Monday. Coming off a hard-fought home win over UNLV, Arizona (9-0) received 63 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel to earn the No. 1 spot in a season for the sixth time. The Wildcats are the Pac-12’s first No. 1 team since UCLA in January 2006. Syracuse, which received the other first-place votes, and Ohio State moved up two places to second and third, while Wisconsin jumped four spots to fourth. Michigan State, which had been No. 1 for three weeks, dropped to fifth after losing 79-65 at home to North Carolina. Louisville was No. 6, followed by Oklahoma State, Duke, Connecticut and Villanova. North Carolina moved back into the poll at No. 18 after a one-week absence. Colorado and Missouri are in the Top 25 for the first time this season. UCLA, Michigan and Dayton fell out of the rankings. Arizona was sixth in the preseason Top 25 after Miller added another stellar recruiting class to a team that reached the Sweet 16 of last year’s NCAA Tournament.

UConn women remain with top spot in AP Poll NEW YORK (AP) — The UConn women’s basketball team stays the unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press poll after winning its only game of the week. The Huskies routed UC Davis by 60 points Thursday and don’t play again until Dec. 17 against No. 2 Duke because of exams. The Blue Devils beat Purdue and Oklahoma this past week. The top nine teams in the poll remain the same with Tennessee, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Stanford, Louisville, Maryland and Baylor following the Blue Devils. South Carolina moved up two spots to No. 10, its best ranking since Feb. 10, 2002, when the Gamecocks were also 10th. Colorado, Penn State, LSU, Oklahoma State and North Carolina were the next five. The Tar Heels moved up three spots. Georgia, Iowa State, Purdue, Nebraska and Oklahoma followed. Iowa, California, Gonzaga, Texas A&M and Syracuse round out the Top 25.

HALL OF FAME: Torre retired after 2010 season with 2,326 wins FROM PAGE B1

Torre finished his career by leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to two NL West titles in three seasons, retiring after 2010 with a record of 2,326-1,997. He’s the only manager to have more than 2,000 hits as a player — he was the 1971 NL MVP — and 2,000 wins in the dugout. “Joe taught a lot of us about how to win the right way and lose the right way,” La Russa said. The savvy La Russa won World Series titles with Oakland in 1989 and with St. Louis in 2006 and ‘11, retiring days after beating the Texas Rangers in a seven-game thriller. Of the nine managers with three or more World Series titles, the other seven all have been inducted. La Russa finished with the third-most wins by a manager in a career that began with the Chicago White Sox in 1979 and ended with a record of 2,728-2,365. “I miss the winning and losing,” La Russa said. “Someday I’ll be with a team, I think. I’d like to be part of the competition again.” Cox’s managerial career began in 1978 with Atlanta, but he was fired after four seasons — only one above .500. A four-year run in Toronto ended in 1985 with an AL East title, and Ted Turner lured him back to the Braves as their GM. Cox returned to the dugout in 1990, and following one losing season he went on one of the most successful regular-season runs by any skipper, leading the Braves to 14 straight division titles and a World Series championship in 1995. He retired in 2010 fourth behind La Russa in career wins with a record of 2,504-2,001. Cigar-chomping and fiercely loyal to his players, Cox was ejected a major league record 159 times. Two of his pitchers during the remarkable stretch during the ’90s, 300-game winners Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, head the newcomers on this year’s players’ ballot. Results of voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America is scheduled for Jan. 8. “I just hope Glav and Mad Dog can be on the stage with me,” Cox said. “That would be the final finishing touch, going in with those two.” Miller, the pioneering head of the players’ association from 1966-81, was rejected for admission to the Hall for the sixth time he appeared on a committee ballot. He fell one vote short of induction in 2010 and received no more than six votes this year. This year’s ballot, chosen by a BBWAA-appointed historical overview committee, covers baseball’s expansion era.

What’s in Pence’s school agenda? Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has unveiled his education agenda for 2014. Northeast Indiana residents, a vast majority of whom voted for the governor, might be asking: “What’s in it for us?” The governor is proposing an expansion of private-school vouchers to preschool-age children. That could bring some benefit for northeast Indiana, because churches and other private organizations operate most preschool programs in this area. For older students, the governor’s attention seems to focus on charter schools. The Associated Press reports his proposals “would make it easier for charters to obtain vacant public school buildings “Indiana expanded … would shorten the timeline for ‘F’ vouchers for public schools to the 2012-2013 be taken over by charter operators school year, but and … would enrollment subsidize teachers who move to in northeast charter schools serving low-income Indiana’s private students.” schools increased It’s likely that a majority of voters by only 28 in northeast Indiana students, affecting support the ideas of charter schools only a handful of and vouchers that help students attend families.” private schools. In actual practice, we have no charter schools in our area, and so far, we’ve made little use of vouchers. State statistics show approximately 25,000 students attend public schools in the four counties of northeast Indiana. Approximately 1,000 children go to private schools. That means more than 96 percent of our students are enrolled in public schools. Indiana expanded vouchers for the 2012-2013 school year, but enrollment in northeast Indiana’s private schools increased by only 28 students, affecting only a handful of families. Statistics for this fall are not available yet. While Republicans enjoy strong support in rural Indiana, the party’s education strategy seems to focus on urban areas. Charter schools operate chiefly in larger cities, and private schools provide an alternative to city schools that are struggling with low performance and disciplinary issues. In response to the problems of city schools, the charter-voucher strategy encourages parents and students to abandon ship. The idea seems to be that public schools will straighten up in response to losing their best students and the income that each student represents. Whether that proves to be true is an interesting drama to watch, but makes little difference to our area. In northeast Indiana, public schools enjoy a good reputation with the vast majority of parents. For the most part, they are not broken and don’t need fixing, but they do deserve some attention and encouragement from Indianapolis. Something in the state’s education policy should help the schools that serve 25 out of every 26 local students.

Letters to The Editor • President’s credibility has come into question; What can we believe? To the editor: President Obama has surely been fortunate to have the loyal support of a large percent of the population, as well as the media. He is obviously a very intelligent man … charming, glib, personable and a good speaker! One would think that with having all these attributes, he could be successful in governing our country. Also you would expect he could have been sharp enough to appoint a staff who would be knowledgeable about what is happening day to day and keep him informed. Apparently that is not the case! The president was so surprised by all the recent scandals … Benghazi, IRS, spying on our citizens and allies, etc. He reported to the public that he heard of the scandals from news reports … not his staff … and was upset by them. He claims he would get to the bottom of things and hold who was responsible accountable. Were those accountable just removed and moved

Congress impeding economic ‘liftoff’ BY LEE H. HAMILTON

Congressional budget negotiators are moving to meet a Friday, Dec. 13, deadline to produce, well, something. Commentators say even the narrowest will be a signal achievement. Doesn’t that seem like an awfully low bar to you? Yes, I know. The atmosphere on Capitol Hill is poisonous. Yet there are consequences to not producing an agreement that brings clarity to fiscal affairs. Right now, government agencies cannot plan ahead. They’re forced to fund programs that have outlived their usefulness and cannot fund programs they know are necessary. Contractors and people who depend on federal spending can’t plan, either. Our economy can’t achieve liftoff, and millions of ordinary Americans remain mired by its slow growth. Things are not wholly bleak. Republican Paul Ryan

of Wisconsin, the lead House negotiator, and Democrat Patty Murray of Washington, who heads up the Senate team, have been working at least to address the sequester. As you’ll recall, this is the draconian set of across-the-board budget cuts put in place in 2011. The sequester is a cleaver, cutting good and bad government spending without rhyme or reason. If congressional negotiators can take a smarter approach, that’s all to the good. But if they’re going to do that, shouldn’t they address the real problems? The country needs gradual deficit reduction that avoids disrupting the economy or harming the vulnerable. It needs reforms to Social Security and Medicare that put them on a solid footing for decades to come. These are daunting challenges, but Congress’s toolbox is hardly empty. There are literally scores of possible

At some point, Congress will have to put the federal budget on “a sustainable path for the long term,” in the words of the CBO. So long as it does not, the economic consequences hurt everyone. Congressional leaders seem blissfully unconcerned about this and aim only

for low-hanging fruit, but Americans know that Congress can and should do better, and are rightly tired of careening from crisis to crisis. As members of Congress continue to make politically attractive suggestions that don’t come close to achieving a lasting solution, let’s urge them to get real. It’s time for Congress to go big. LEE H.

What Others Say • Lack of vaccination puts child, community at risk U.S. vaccination programs appear to have become a victim of their own success. Because many parents have never experienced the effects of childhood diseases such as mumps or measles — let alone polio — they don’t always appreciate the health risks the diseases pose and the continuing need for vaccinations. By the time children are 2 years old, they are recommended to have 10 different vaccinations to protect them from diseases such as chicken pox, polio, mumps and flu. But some parents who can’t afford vaccinations for their infants or are concerned about possible side effects from the shots are choosing not to have them vaccinated. According to recent information from

the Indiana State Board of Health, Jackson County fares better than the average in terms of children who have been vaccinated from 19 to 35 months with a 60 percent compliance rate. The state average is 47 percent with a median rate of 57 percent. That’s good news, but how about that other 40 percent? While most vaccinations prevent diseases that have been eradicated from the U.S., getting them for children — whose immune systems are weaker than adults’ — is important because some illnesses, such as polio, are just a plane ride away, Vaccinate Indiana executive director Lisa Robertson said. In today’s mobile, global business environment, it’s highly likely that a person will regularly come in contact with someone who has traveled overseas. Some

of those areas could be centers where a disease is more common, and an unvaccinated person could bring it back home. Some parents are concerned about possible side effects from vaccines and decide not to have their children immunized. But not vaccinating infants is dangerous not just for the health of the child but for the community. If a child who hasn’t been immunized is exposed to a disease and then comes in contact with someone whose immune system is weak, such as an elderly person, the child could spread the disease to that person as well. In order to protect the child and the wider community, it is vital that parents vaccinate their children. Just because the parents have never known someone with polio, for example, doesn’t mean they should leave their children unprotected. The Tribune, Seymour

Single dad struggles to find time for son DEAR ABBY: I am a single 25-year-old man with a 15-month-old son. I didn’t plan on having any children, but my son is everything to me. His mother and I did not work out well living together. We had different priorities and personalities and could not comfortably coexist. I have no ill will toward “Andrea.” She’s a great person and a phenomenal mom. My dilemma is I constantly regret not working harder to stay with her. I see her new boyfriend with my son and it kills me. I see my son only on my two days off. I wish I could see him more than that, but the only way I could see it happening is if Andrea and I got back together. Everyone I know says we made the right choice for the three of us, but they may be biased toward my side of the situation. I’m afraid of not being there for my boy like my father wasn’t there for me

DEAR DOCTOR K: I read about a study that said married cancer patients do better than those who aren’t married. Why does marriage have such a positive effect? DEAR READER: You’re probably talking about a study that was published earlier this year in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The study included about 735,000 people diagnosed with 10 different types of cancer. Married men were 23 percent less likely to die of cancer than those who were single, widowed or divorced. For married women, the advantage was 16 percent. For five of the 10 types of cancer, the survival benefits of marriage were stronger than the benefits of chemotherapy. A spouse can provide such support as: • Encouraging you to get cancer screening tests that detect cancer early; • Helping care for you at times of poor health;

“join my hubby.” When she learned she had advanced stomach cancer, she refused surgery and chose hospice. She invited 15 living relatives to visit her. She kept the names on a list. When we all had arrived, she checked our names off the list, told us she loved us and asked us to say a prayer. The next day she was gone. My brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and told he had a year to live. His daughter told him that she and her fiance wanted to wait three years to get married, when they finished school. He told his wife and daughter, “I’ll be there.” He was there, thin as a rail. He danced the first dance with the bride, his smile lighting up the room. A few weeks later, he was gone. DR.

Networks get easier ratings for same violence level BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Violent dramas on the broadcast networks carry milder parental cautions than cable shows like “The Walking Dead” but can equal them in graphic gore, a failure of the TV ratings system, a new study found. Scenes of stabbings, shootings, rape, decapitation and mutilation invariably received a TV-14 “parents strongly cautioned” rating on network TV, according to the Parents Television Council study released Monday. But similar fare on cable typically was given the most stringent label, TV-MA for mature audiences only, researchers for the media watchdog group found.

“There are zero-pointzero series rated TV-MA on broadcast,” said the media watchdog council President Tim Winter, despite programs that are awash in violent scenes. It is vital to examine the media’s effect on children and real-world violence, Winter said, adding that he hopes his nonpartisan group’s findings are part of a wide-ranging search for solutions. The study of 14 series during a four-week period found a 6 percent difference in the overall incidence of violence of all types on cable versus broadcast, with 1,482 violent acts on the cable programs and 1,392 on the network series. Federally regulated broadcasters face sanctions

if they cross the line on indecency or expletives but not violence. With competition from unregulated cable and its variously daring series such as “Breaking Bad” and “Masters of Sex,” networks have resorted to more mayhem. Episode ratings are decided by networks and cable channels, similar to how the movie studios’ Motion Picture Association of America self-governs by issuing its own movie ratings. The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, which is composed of TV industry members and public interest advocates, checks for ratings uniformity and responds to public complaints. It received 38 complaints in the past year.

The ratings system “serves as a valuable resource for parents and helps them make responsible viewing decisions based on what is appropriate for their own families. The industry regularly reviews the TV ratings to ensure they continue to be useful to parents,” Missi Tessier, spokeswoman for the board’s executive secretariat, said in response to the PTC study. NBC, CBS, Fox and CW did not comment on the study, which did not include any ABC shows. Under political and social pressure in the mid-1990s, the voluntary system was established by the TV industry to be used with the so-called V-chip that can block shows electronically.

Networks find it financially vital to avoid applying TV-MA ratings, Winters said, which scare off advertisers. To assess how the ratings are used, the PTC said it analyzed the seven shows each on cable and broadcast TV that had the highest levels of violence. Each show’s first four episodes of the 2012-13 season were analyzed. TV-14 warns that a program may include intense violence, sex or language not suitable for children under 14, while TV-MA is intended for shows that might have indecent language, graphic violence or explicit sexuality, according to the TV Parental Guidelines webpage.

Violent dramas on the broadcast networks carry milder parental cautions than cable shows like “The Walking Dead” but can equal them in graphic gore.
