GOOD MORNING Used iPads sell out quickly at school GARRETT — GarrettKeyser-Butler Schools sold out a limited number of retired Apple iPads in 45 minutes when it offered them to the public at $65 apiece. The sale was scheduled to begin Wednesday morning and original plans called for it to continue today. School officials said a line of buyers began to form before 7 a.m. Wednesday. Tickets were handed to those in line, and by 7:45 a.m., the supply was depleted and potential buyers were turned away. The first-generation, 16 GB iPads and power supplies were sold as-is with no warranties. The devices were not capable of updating to the latest operating system and were not eligible for the school’s Bring Your Own Apple Device program due to application issues.
Georgia woman shares giant jackpot ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia woman who bought just one ticket and used family birthdays and lucky No. 7 to choose her numbers was one of two winners of the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot, the second-largest in U.S. history. Lottery officials in Georgia identified the winner as Ira Curry, of Stone Mountain, which is east of Atlanta. Curry will take a lump sum of $123 million after taxes, Georgia Lottery chief executive Debbie Alford said. “She has not decided how she’ll spend those winnings,” Alford said at a news conference Curry did not attend. The other winning ticket was sold at a gift shop in San Jose, Calif. Curry was driving to work Wednesday when an announcer on the radio talked about the mega ball being No. 7. Curry knew that was her mega ball number, so she called her daughter to check the numbers. “Between joyful tears and laughter on the daughter’s part, she relayed to her mother that her mother had won the lottery,” Alford said.

Waterloo to break ground on $1.6 million library expansion BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com
WATERLOO — The Waterloo Grant Township Public Library will break ground on its $1.6 million expansion project Dec. 29, capping the beginning of a long-envisioned project. “It’s been a long haul,” said library director Linda Dunn. The library staff, library board and Waterloo community have invested nearly two years of raising funds for the expansion project. “We’ve been very patient,” Dunn added. Library board President Darryl Whittington will Linda Dunn give a short talk outside at 3 p.m., followed by refreshments inside the library. Visitors can view designs for the new space and talk with the library staff and board about the project. The new addition will include meeting rooms for the public, a teen center, updated children’s area and renovation of the existing structure. The first expansion project was completed in 1989, before Dunn joined the Waterloo library in 1992. The renovation doubled the library’s size and cost $400,000. That same year, the library added
its first computer. The staff have another milestone to celebrate: the library building’s centennial. A committee of Waterloo residents formed a library board in 1912 and opened a small library in the upper room of a business owned by J.A. Denison at the northeast corner of Railroad and Wayne streets. Bertha Knott served as the first librarian and opened the doors Nov. 20, 1912, with 200 books on the shelves, donated by citizens of Grant Township and Waterloo. The town’s desire for a library building finally was realized in 1913, when the Carnegie Corp. gave the Knott library board $6,000 to erect a free, public library building for the city of Waterloo. On May 14, 1913, the library board purchased two lots from Joseph and Carrie Showalter for $600, and by Aug. 14, the building’s foundation was well under way. In a speech on Sept. 4, 1913, Mrs. C.H. Brooks, a Waterloo High School school board member, noted that citizens of Waterloo rejoiced when the neighboring city (Auburn) came

The woman Brooks congratulated replied and said that “Waterloo has no Mr. Eckhart,” referring to philanthropist Charles Eckhart, who donated the money to build Auburn’s library. “Instead of a benefactor, Waterloo possessed a band of citizens who, without the encouragement and inspiration afforded by an Eckhart fortune, had a vision, which included among other things a library for Waterloo,” Brooks said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation Wednesday scaling back across-the-board cuts on programs ranging from the Pentagon to the national park system, adding a late dusting of bipartisanship to a year more likely to be remembered for a partial government shutdown and near-perpetual gridlock. Obama’s signature was assured on the measure, which lawmakers in both parties and at opposite ends of the Capitol said they hoped would curb budget brinkmanship and prevent more shutdowns in the near future. “It’s a good first step away from the shortsighted, crisis-driven decision-making that has only served to act as a drag on our economy,” he said of the measure in a statement issued after the vote. And yet, he quickly added, “there is much more work to do to ensure our economy works for every working American.” The legislation passed the Democratic-controlled Senate on a vote of 64-36, six days after clearing the Republican-run House by a similarly bipartisan margin of 332-94. The product of intensive year-end talks, the measure met the short-term political needs of Republicans, Democrats and the White House. As a result, there was no suspense about the outcome of the vote in the Senate — only about fallout in the 2014 elections and, more immediately, its impact on future congressional disputes over spending and the nation’s debt limit. “I’m tired of the gridlock and the American people that I talk to, especially from Arkansas, are tired of it as well,” said Sen. Mark Pryor, a Democrat who supported the bill yet will have to defend his vote in next year’s campaign for a new term. His likely Republican rival, Rep. Tom Cotton, voted against the measure last week when it cleared the House. SEE DEAL, PAGE A7
Eastside staging ‘A Civil War Story’ BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — Eastside High School will present “A Civil War Story” tonight, Friday and Saturday in the school’s dinner theater. Written and directed by Eastside drama teacher Tim Albert, the show was created using the framework of letters about Union and Confederate soldiers and their families. It is set in a community along the Pennsylvania-Maryland border — the Mason-Dixon line — that became a cultural boundary between North and South and states supporting and opposing slavery. In the town portrayed in “A Civil War Story,” friends and even family members took up arms on opposite sides of the cause. A general store sold merchandise to both sides. “Bill,” a Union soldier portrayed by Jacob Coats, and “Dan,” a Confederate soldier portrayed by Joe Wilson are from the same town, but find themselves on opposing sides of the fight.
“They get lost and meet in the middle of the night in the woods on Christmas Eve,” Albert explains. Neither wants to shoot or surrender to the other; they agree to lay down their arms and sit by a campfire until they can find their way back to their respective camps. As the story evolves, both soldiers are wounded in battle. Bill writes a letter to his wife that he kept the honor of his family name by fighting. Both soldiers are thought to have died, but manage to find their way home when the war ends. “Nobody was immune to the divisions of the Civil War,” Albert explained. “Mary Todd Lincoln had six close relatives who fought for the South, and three of them died in battle.” Letters from prisoners and families are woven into the story. “In the letters, soldiers wrote about disease, including what they called ‘camp disease,’ which many soldiers died of,” Albert said. Songs came from various

Man gets 24 years for string of burglaries BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — Describing a defendant’s criminal history as “horrible,” Judge Monte Brown sentenced a man to 24 years in prison for three counts of burglary Wednesday. Robert Slone, 52, who is listed in court records as being homeless, pleaded guilty to the three Class C felony crimes as part of a plea agreement filed in DeKalb Superior Court II. Slone was accused of burglarizing three unoccupied residences over
a 4 1/2-month period. Brown noted Slone has a criminal career spanning 35 years that includes 30 prior misdemeanor convictions, 11 prior felony convictions and nine cases involving misdemeanors and felonies that ultimately were dismissed. “It’s a significant criminal history, one of the most significant I’ve seen,” Brown said. “Apparently everything that the criminal justice system can try has been tried. It didn’t work.” Slone apologized for his
actions, telling Brown, “If I could take back what I did, I would.” “I hear you saying you want to change,” Brown told Slone. “By the time you reach age 52, if you are going to see the light, you’d have seen it by now.” Brown sentenced Slone to eight years on each count, with the sentences to be served consecutively. As part of the plea agreement, the court dismissed a charge of theft, a Class D felony; two charges of receiving stolen
property, a Class D felony; two counts of burglary, a Class C felony; and an enhancement for being a habitual offender. Slone received credit for 229 days served in jail while his case was pending. Also in Superior Court II Wednesday, Jacob Justus of the 3200 block of C.R. 68, Auburn, was sentenced to one year in jail for resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor, and two years in jail for domestic battery having a previous conviction, a Class D felony. The sentences
will be served at the same time. Justus received credit for 78 days served in jail while his case was pending. Brown noted the case started with much more serious charges, including a charge of rape, a Class A felony. Brown said the case was being resolved in such a manner due to the lack of cooperation by the victim in pursuing the charges. “These are nightmare cases for police agencies and prosecutor’s offices,” Brown said.

Steel Dynamics forecasts earnings FORT WAYNE — Steel Dynamics Inc. has provided fourth-quarter earnings guidance in the range of 21-25 cents per diluted share. The estimate compares to earnings of 25 cents per diluted share reported for the third quarter of this year and 27 cents per diluted share reported for the fourth quarter of 2012. The company said fourth-quarter 2012 results included favorable tax adjustments, or earnings would have been 20 cents per diluted share. Profitability from the company’s steel operations for the fourth quarter of this year is anticipated to be comparable to earnings achieved in the third quarter, the company said in a news release. SDI operates a steel minimill near Butler, along with its New Millennium Building systems plant nearby. It operates OmniSource metal recycling stations
in Waterloo and Auburn. SDI said the benefit of improved pricing for flat-roll steel during the fourth quarter is expected to be offset by seasonally reduced overall steel shipments and increased scrap costs during the quarter. The company said the residential construction market shows signs of a typical seasonal slowdown in new construction and existing home sales, although activity in both markets continues to be well above prior year levels, and continues to positively impact demand for the company’s painted and Galvalume® sheet products. The domestic automotive and manufacturing markets remain strong, and the outlook for the nonresidential construction market is becoming more favorable, SDI said. Gradual improvement in construction-related steel
demand, including structural steel and fabricated joist and decking products, continues to promote an optimistic outlook. Metals recycling financial results are expected to show improvement for the fourth quarter 2013, SDI said. The anticipated loss from the company’s Minnesota Operations for the fourth quarter 2013 is expected to be approximately $8.5 million. The company’s board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of 11 cents per common share. The dividend is payable on or about Jan. 10 to shareholders of record at the close of business on Dec. 31. Steel Dynamics, Inc. is one of the largest domestic steel producers and metals recyclers in the United States with annual sales of $7.3 billion in 2012 and more than 6,700 employees.

Hero guide dog to have good home Shoppers not NEW YORK (AP) — The guide dog that leaped onto subway tracks after his blind owner lost consciousness and fell off a station platform is assured a loving home after his retirement. Cecil Williams, who has been recovering at a hospital with Orlando still by his side, had been slated to get another working dog in January or February to replace the 11-year-old black Lab. Now, he would ideally like to have two dogs — one working and one retired as a pet — if logistics, physical abilities and finances allow. If that’s not possible, the family that raised Orlando as a puppy says it will be “absolutely thrilled to have him back,” said Guiding Eyes for the Blind spokeswoman Michelle Brier. “They’re very thrilled their little baby has made such a big difference.” Williams told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he couldn’t pay for a non-working dog, so he was planning to look for a good home

NEW YORK (AP) — Sparse crowds at malls and “50 percent off” signs at The Gap and other stores offer clues as to how this holiday season is shaping up so far: It’s the most discount-driven one since the U.S. was in a deep recession. It’s also the most disappointing for stores. Sales are up 2 percent to $176.7 billion from Nov. 1 through Sunday, according to data provided to The Associated Press from store data tracker ShopperTrak. That’s a slower pace than expected with days left in the season. ShopperTrak’s predicts sales will rise 2.4 percent to $265 billion for the two-month stretch that’s typically the busiest shopping period of the year. The modest growth comes as the amount of discounts that stores are offering this season is up 13 percent from last year — the highest level
since 2008, according to financial services firm BMO Capital Markets, which tracks 20 clothing stores. “The holiday season has been marginal to just OK,” said Joel Bines, managing director and co-head of the retail practice at AlixPartners. “Retailers are doing anything they can to get rid of merchandise.” The data underscores how aggressive discounting has been both a blessing and a curse for retailers. Since the recession, the only way to get Americans into stores has been to flash huge discount signs in front of their faces. But the discounting has had unintended consequences. Shoppers become immune to the deals, so retailers must offer bigger discounts to keep them coming into stores. That erodes retailers’ sales since shoppers aren’t buying things for regular price.

Haiti faults orphanage run by US church PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — At the Olde Good Things antique store on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a French crystal chandelier can go for tens of thousands of dollars. A marble mantel sells for more than $20,000 and hand-carved dinner tables are priced even higher. The store’s Christian missionary owners offer their well-heeled customers a heart-warming story: Part of the proceeds pay for the group’s orphanage in Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world. What they don’t say is that even though they claim in IRS filings to be spending around $2.5 million annually, the home for boys and girls was so dirty and overcrowded during recent inspections that the government said it shouldn’t remain open. The Associated Press made an unannounced visit to the orphanage’s two homes, currently holding a total of 120 kids, in November and found conditions a world away from the opulent Manhattan apartments decorated with the store’s antiques. Bunk beds with faded and worn mattresses were crowded into dirty rooms. Sour air wafted through the bathrooms and stairwells. Rooms were dark and spartan, lacking comforts or decoration. While many other orphanages also failed the Caribbean country’s new national standards, and conditions are far worse in some, the group’s three-story building on the hilly outskirts of Port-au-Prince stands out because it’s run by an organization with such an unusual, and successful fundraising operation. The failure to meet the standards would seem to contradict their financial position. Wealthy people patronize Olde Good Things, which has five stores in New York, two in Los Angeles and a warehouse in Scranton, Pennsylvania, searching for unusual items for home renovations, much of it salvaged from old buildings. There are antique entryways and doors, porcelain sinks, cast iron bathtubs, stained glass windows, glass and brass doorknobs, and rare pieces of wooden furniture. Haiti’s Social Welfare Institute, meanwhile, says the orphanage run by Olde Good Things’ owner, U.S.-based Church of Bible Understanding, did not meet minimum national standards during a series of inspections dating to November 2012. It found sanitary conditions were “terrible,” and there were too many kids for the amount of space, said Vanel Benjamin, a senior inspector with the agency. They also

country’s new national standards, and conditions are far worse in some, the group’s three-story building on the hilly outskirts of Port-au-Prince stands out because it’s run by an organization with such an unusual, and successful fundraising operation. The failure to meet the standards would seem to contradict their financial position.
Some children attended Haitian Creole classes on the terrace. Justin Fair, a 32-year-old from New Jersey and the sole church member living on site, explained the group’s mission: “Our goal is to raise them as Christians and bring them up to be productive Haitian citizens.” The orphanage is two homes, with about 60 children in each, located a few minutes apart in Kenscoff in the mountains above Port-au-Prince where steep, windy roads offer panoramic views of the sprawl and misery characterizing much of the capital. The report from the social welfare agency specifically faults only one of the homes, though both appeared similar during the recent visit. “It’s not horrible. I have seen orphanages way, way worse … it just needs a lot of work,” said Dixie Bickel, director of a nearby orphanage, God’s Littlest Angels, operated by an organization in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Bickel, who praised the Church of Bible Understanding for sharing food with needier groups, has been helping the church address the problems, supplying volunteers to paint and clean, training the Haitian staff and recently taking in several sick infants. That the orphanage struggles is a surprise, given that it has a seemingly well-funded operation. In its Form 990 for 2011, the most recent version available of the document the Church of Bible Understanding must file with the Internal Revenue Service, the church reported spending

about $2.5 million annually on its orphanage, according to an analysis by Chuck McClean, vice president of research at Guidestar, the leading source of information on nonprofit groups. McClean reviewed three years of returns and said it was difficult to determine from the explanations on the forms how much of what the church provided the orphanage was cash and how much was in-kind support such as food. Church members gave conflicting information. Senior church official Kevin Browne said in an interview that the organization spends about $1 million a year in Haiti. Fair, one of two church members working in Haiti, said: “Basically, a third of all the profits go to our orphanages.” Asked about the discrepancy, Browne said the group also distributes food in other parts of Haiti, but he said only the church’s pastor, Stewart Traill, was aware of the details of their finances. “I’m not a money guy.” Browne said Traill has never given an interview and would not comment for this story. Bickel said her orphanage spends about $1 million annually to care for about 140 kids and received government certification. Gena Heraty, director of the special needs program at Kay Christine orphanage, said her organization spends less to house 386 children and also passed muster. “They are very basic standards,” said Heraty, who has worked in Haiti for 20 years. “I wouldn’t think they are hard standards to meet.”

found not all kids were going to school and the staff lacked adequate training. “We made a number of visits to the orphanage to tell them that they needed to make progress, but there hasn’t been any progress,” Benjamin said. The result is that the orphanage was placed on a warning list, allowed to remain open only because impoverished Haiti lacks the resources to close the facility and find new homes for the children. A church official disputed the allegation that children weren’t attending school and said he doesn’t believe conditions were so bad that they warranted a failing grade, but he said they are addressing the complaints nonetheless. “There are ways we are lacking but we try to do the very best we can in God’s name,” said Paul Szostak, part of a rotating staff of church workers who currently manages Haiti operations. “We are trying to improve things and make things better.” The AP’s November visit appeared to bear out Szostak’s claim that improvements were underway. Although the organization says it employs 60 Haitians at the orphanage, journalists found volunteers from another orphanage scrubbing floors, painting walls and giving advice on infant care to the one church member and several Haitian workers on the premises.

Heartwarming memories of a cold afternoon ringing ‘the bell’

A few weeks ago a volunteer for Common Grace Ministries of Noble County who is involved with the Salvation Army red kettle drive gave us a copy of a column written by Margaret Tarney Ewing. “Maggie” was the Life editor for The News Sun for many years. We published the “Maggie’s Corner” headlined “Sometimes you get more than you give” on Friday, Dec. 29, 1995. As all who “ring the bell” know, Maggie’s words ring as true today as the day they first went to press.
Sometimes you get more than you give What do you think when you see someone ringing the bell for the Salvation Army at Christmastime? Are you put off by it? Do you think, “Boy, I’d never do that?” Or are you so wrapped up in your own little world — shopping, decorating, wrapping and cooking — that you don’t even notice the bell ringers, the all-to-familiar Salvation Army kettle or stop to think about why they are there? Well, if you are oblivious to them, you are not alone. Many simple don’t want to deal with the fact that there are millions of people out there, who for whatever reason, won’t have a good Christmas — or, perhaps even worse, won’t have any Christmas at all. Margaret That’s not our problem, right? Well, Tarney unfortunately, too many feel that way. Ewing And, if it weren’t for organizations 1933-2009 like the Salvation army, the Christmas bureaus, the food pantries, and such, a lot of individuals and families wouldn’t even have food for Christmas dinner. When I look at the bell ringers, I feel compassion for the poor, but I have always felt compassion for the bell ringers as well. I thought it must Parents with young be humiliating to stand there, ringing that darned children often gave bell, having people look at you as if to say, “What their little ones money the heck is SHE doing to put into the kettle … out here?” Some parents even took Last week when Skip Rash called and time to explain to their asked me if I would ring children why they were the bell at Wal-Mart, I hedged a little. As I giving the money. rationalized it, I felt I didn’t have an excuse not to do it. I was on vacation and could spare a couple of hours. And besides, Skip Rash, Skip Traster and Glen Walrich (among others) are all friends and fellow members of Trinity Church United Methodist and who work extremely hard on this project. So how could I refuse? I said, “Yes.” As Wednesday approached, I got cold feet thinking I didn’t want to stand there and be a “ding-a-ling” in public. But I kept telling myself it was for a good cause and reminding myself how fortunate we are not to need the services of these organizations. Reluctantly, at 12:50 p.m. I arrived for my stint at Wal-Mart. What a trio! Maggie, the bell and the kettle, I thought, almost embarrassed by the whole concept. I found out later the true meaning of cold feet, standing there in the drafty and cold entryway of Wal-Mart with the doors swinging open all afternoon. But that’s a different story. As the people passed and dropped money into the kettle, it wasn’t long until I felt warm all over. I could feel their caring and compassion and it warmed my heart. Soon I didn’t care if a few thought it was stupid or wondering why Maggie was standing there ringing that doggone bell. Some came and went without a glance my way. How could you ignore that bell, I wondered. It was almost as though if they didn’t look at me, they wouldn’t have to donate. A few were obviously absorbed in their own little worlds, with their minds going in a hundred different directions. Others readily reached into their wallets, purses or pockets and pulled out money. It didn’t matter how much they gave, what mattered is THAT they gave. Parents with young children often gave their little ones money to put into the kettle and some even had to lay their packages down and hold their children up so they could reach it. The parents and the children smiled and you could tell they felt good about giving to others. Some parents even took time to explain to their children why they were giving the money. It was even more heartwarming when people who looked as if they didn’t have much to spare would willingly put change or a dollar into the kettle. Many told me “Merry Christmas” and would smile as they passed even if they didn’t know me or donate. And quite a few said, “I believe in the Salvation Army. YOU are a good organization.” Others said, “God bless you. You do such good work for others.” It made me feel guilty to be given credit for the hard work of others. Well, I won’t kid you, I was pretty glad when my two hours were up. But I wouldn’t have traded the experience for the world. Not only did the rest of the day seem to go better, it made me appreciate life and people a lot more and I felt pretty proud. A week ago the “8:30 Singers” at Trinity sang “Come On, Ring Those Bells” as the anthem. I have always loved that song. It was lively. That song now holds even more meaning than before — because I did ring that bell. It worked for me.

Letters To The Editor • Donors support Shop With a Cop To the editor: On Dec. 7, members of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department were honored to take deserving DeKalb County children shopping at Wal-Mart, as part of the Shop With a Cop program. Each year, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department partners with the Shifters Car Club to take needy children shopping for clothing. The children are referred by school counselors that recognize the child’s need. Each child is provided $150 to spend. This year each child’s family was also given food for a Christmas dinner and a $50 gift card for additional food. The Shop With a Cop program allows the children to interact with a police officer in a positive, nurturing manner. I’d like to thank the Shifters Car Club for helping to fundraise for the event and participating in the shopping. A thank you also to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department officers that donated their time by participating, and to Wal-Mart for allowing the store to be overrun by approximately 30 uniformed police officers shopping for kids’ clothes.

AUBURN — The chefs at DeKalb Health have long been involved in food service, but are relatively new to the hospital. Lisa Colberg and Dan Albers joined the staff in the past few years. Colberg has been working at DeKalb Health for one year and Albers 2 1/2 years. Colberg graduated from East Noble High School and earned a culinary degree in college. Today, she lives in Butler. What she loves about working at the hospital is the change of pace. “We’re always busy,” Colberg said. “There’s never a dull moment.” Her sidekick, Albers, never thought he would spend so much time working in food service. He started his first job at a restaurant at the age of 17. Though he earned a degree in vocal performance at Indiana University, he remained with food service. “I just never left,” he said. Much of what Albers knows about cooking, he learned while working for a restaurant at Renassiance Square in Fort Wayne. Alber has worked for General Motors and DePuy in food service, providing meals for employees. When he’s not preparing meals at DeKalb Health, Albers sings in the Heartland Chamber Chorale. The group is an independent, professional vocal ensemble based in Fort Wayne.

Chefs Lisa Colberg, left, and Dan Albers prepare meals at DeKalb Health hospital.
“She has improved the quality,” Albers said. Another hospital favorite is soup, according to Albers. When he makes the soup, Albers does not like to follow recipes exactly as they are listed. “I like things to be flavorful,” he said. “I love cooking anything I can make from scratch.”
Albers learned to make this pie in his early days of baking in Fort Wayne. The recipe is based on a convection oven and makes two pies.
Holiday recipes
• 1/4 tablespoons salt
The recipe is a simple dessert that Lisa likes to make for the holidays.
• 1 cup of buttermilk
Layered Cranberry Mousse
• 1/2 pound of melted butter
Buttermilk Pie • 3 1/2 cups of granulated sugar • 1/2 cup of flour
• 7 eggs • 1 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 tablespoon vanilla • 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 package Jello (8 oz.) cranberry or any red
At the hospital While the chefs work together, each has his or her own specialty. Colberg prepares the catering for special events, and Albers cooks breakfast and lunch. “There are some days when it’s madness and mayhem,” Albers said. Though Colberg said being busy keeps her on her feet and focused. “Everyone works well together,” Colberg said. “We have a team spirit.” Visitors to the hospital’s food court have a few favorites, the pasta bar and oriental bar. “The pasta bar line is out the door,” Colberg said. Each day, the food court serves two entrees, and a salad bar is always available. The improved food options, the two chefs say, is a credit to their food supervisor, Andrea Stieglitz.
• 1 can (16 oz.) whole cranberry sauce
Mix together sugar, flour, salt and first amount of buttermilk.
• 1 cup cold water
Combine well and beat. Place mixer on high speed and add eggs, two at a time, beating well after each addition.
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves • 2 cups thawed cool whip
Stir boiling water into dry gelatin until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add cranberry sauce and stir. Next, stir in cold water. Pour 2 cups of the gelatin mixture into a 6-cup mold. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until set, but not firm. Meanwhile, stir cinnamon and cloves into remaining gelatin. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until slightly thick. Add whipped topping and whisk. Now, pour the mixture over the first topping in the mold. Refrigerate 4 hours.
Lower the speed of the mixer and add the second amount of buttermilk. Fold in the melted butter and vanilla. Pour into unbaked pie shells and top each pie evenly with 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature of the oven to 300 degrees and continue baking 15-20 minutes. The pie is done when a knife — inserted about 3 inches from the rim of the crust — comes out clean.
This recipe from Albers is a side dish to complete most meals. The recipe serves a large group. Carrot, Raisin and Nut Salad • 1 1/2 quart grated carrots • 1/2 quart raisins • 1/2 quart diced celery • 1 cup sour cream • 1 cup salad dressing • 3/4 tablespoon salt • 1 1/4 tablespoon sugar

A large pile of plowed snow occupies the corner of Main and 9th street in downtown Auburn Wednesday.
Snow piles frustrate Fed plans cut in stimulus citizens, street crews WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve has decided to reduce its stimulus for the U.S. economy because the job market has shown steady improvement. The shift could lead to higher long-term borrowing rates for individuals and businesses. The Fed’s decision amounts to a vote of confidence in the economy six years after the Great Recession struck. It signals the Fed’s belief that the U.S. economy is finally achieving consistent gains. The central bank said in a statement after its policy meeting ended Wednesday that it will trim its $85 billion a month in bond purchases by $10 billion starting in January. At a news conference afterward, Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed expects to make “similar moderate”
reductions in its purchases if economic improvements continue. At the same time, the Fed strengthened its commitment to record-low short-term rates. It said it plans to hold its key short-term rate near zero “well past” the time when unemployment falls below 6.5 percent. Unemployment is now 7 percent. The Fed intends its bond purchases to drive down borrowing rates by increasing demand for the bonds. The idea has been to induce people and businesses to borrow, spend and accelerate economic growth. The prospect of a lower pace of purchases could mean higher rates. Nevertheless, investors appeared pleased by the Fed’s finding that the economy has steadily strengthened, by its firmer commitment to low
short-term rates and by the only slight amount by which it’s paring its bond purchases. The Dow Jones industrial average soared more than 275 points, well over 1 percent. Bond prices fluctuated but by late afternoon, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was unchanged at 2.88 percent. The Fed’s move “eliminates the uncertainty as to whether or when the Fed will taper and will give markets the opportunity to focus on what really matters, which is the economic outlook,” said Roberto Perli, a former Fed economist who is now head of monetary policy research at Cornerstone Macro. But Perli noted that the Fed has hardly withdrawn its support for the economy. It will continue to buy bonds every month to keep long-term rates down.
DEAL: Both parties applaud avoiding painful cuts FROM PAGE A1
The measure, negotiated by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., averts $63 billion in across-the-board spending cuts that were themselves the result of an earlier inability of lawmakers and the White House to agree on a sweeping deficit reduction plan. That represents about one-third of the cuts originally ticketed for the 2014 and 2015 budget years and known in Washington as sequestration. Democrats expressed satisfaction that money
would be restored for programs like Head Start and education, and lawmakers in both parties and the White House cheered the cancellation of future cuts at the Pentagon. To offset the added spending, the legislation provides about $85 billion in savings from elsewhere in the budget. Included are increases in the airline ticket tax that helps pay for security at airports and a fee corporations pay to have pensions guaranteed by the government. Most controversial by far was a provision to curtail annual cost of living
increases in benefits that go to military retirees under age 62, a savings of $6.3 billion over a decade for the government. By one estimate, the result would be a reduction of nearly $72,000 in benefits over a lifetime for a sergeant first class who retires at age 42 after 20 years of service. Veterans groups and their allies in Congress objected vociferously to what they said was a singling out of former members of the military, and key lawmakers in both parties said they would take a second look at the provision next year.

AUBURN — The weekend’s winter storm dumped some 8 inches of snow on the city. Now, 10-foot-tall snow mountains can be found on street corners around the downtown area. The city’s street plow crews worked exhaustively to clear snow from roadways after Saturday’s heavy snowfall. In the downtown area, though, where plows can’t simply shove the snow aside, the snow has been piled into enormous mounds. Large hills dot the corners of the DeKalb County Courthouse grounds. The problem is, the snow mounds sit on sidewalks and crosswalks, forcing pedestrians to walk around them and into the roadways to pass. Motorists have complained they also create a sight obstruction. Another problem for the city is, they are illegal. City ordinance 95.12 calls for snow to be cleared from sidewalks within 12 hours after a snowfall or the owner can be forced to pay the expense of having it cleared away. City attorney Erik Weber said the city’s code enforcement officer actually could issue a citation to the city. City street administrator Bill Brandon, though, said with the nature of the snowfall — a heavy dumping followed by
several days of continuous lighter snowfalls — has kept his crews busy keeping roadways clear. Brandon said crews did manage to clear away two of the large piles, including one massive mound outside the west side of the courthouse that blocked parking spaces and the sidewalk, Monday. Brandon said city crews have long pushed snow onto street corners, which he said is essentially a casualty of quick and efficient plowing. “I don’t know of any other way to do it,” said Brandon. “The easiest thing for us to do is push and plow everything and roll everything away from the curb, then the loaders come through and push and pile. The less distance we have to push everything, the quicker it goes for us. Unfortunately, with 8 inches of snow, it’s going to create some large piles.” Brandon said while crews can plow snow on residential streets onto curbs, the practice doesn’t fly in the business district. That leaves crews forced to push snow into one spot and clear it away when possible. Typically that occurs sooner than five days, Brandon said. “Normally after an event like this, we try to get up there as quick as we can and get the piles gone,” said Brandon, “but in this case here, we kept having snow Monday and Tuesday, and

• rather than break all my trucks down to haul snow, I still have to continue salting and plowing. We kept getting snow and snow showers, and we had to keep plowing. We probably would have had all of our people up there and hauling it a little quicker. It’s a process that takes time.” After crews spent Wednesday rescraping roadways so they are completely clear, Brandon said the plan is to begin loading the snow mounds today and Friday. Crews will load the snow mounds into dump trucks and transfer them to the city’s dump site. That means, downtown sidewalks soon will be clear. “It’s a temporary inconvenience, as far as the sidewalks being obstructed,” said Brandon. “It’s a process we’ve got to get through, and it will go away. It’s not like it’s going to sit there all winter long.”
Insurers allow more time to pay under new health law WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumers anxious over tight insurance deadlines and lingering computer problems during the holidays will get extra time to pay their premiums under President Barack Obama’s health care law, insurers announced Wednesday. The board of the industry’s biggest trade group — America’s Health Insurance Plans — said consumers who select a plan by Dec. 23 will now have until Jan. 10 to pay their first month’s premium. That’s 10 extra days beyond a New Year’s Eve deadline set by the government. The voluntary move comes as insurers and the government try to head off anticipated problems around the first of the year, when new coverage options for the uninsured take effect under Obama’s law, and when several million people whose existing policies were canceled must switch to new plans.
Expect even bigger political trouble for the president if consumers who made a good-faith effort to get covered through the government’s balky website show up at the pharmacy and can’t get prescriptions filled, or if they turn up in the emergency room and there’s no record that they are enrolled. The stakes would be higher this time because someone’s health could be jeopardized. The administration applauded the industry decision. It will “ultimately make it easier for consumers to enroll” through the new online insurance markets, said Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters. The federal HealthCare.gov website is now working reasonably well, but insurers still report accuracy problems with enrollment information the government is sending about their new customers. Karen Ignagni, CEO of
the industry group, said the decision was taken “to give consumers greater peace of mind about their health care coverage.” AHIP represents about 95 percent of the industry, including the major national carriers and nearly all the BlueCross BlueShield plans. There may be a few insurers who do not follow the group’s lead, so consumers are advised to check with their carrier. Consumers must pay their first month’s premium on time for coverage to take effect. The move burnishes the industry’s image and has no real downside, said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalare Health, a market analysis firm. “It’s useful for the consumer and not a problem for the plans,” he said. Insurers will still get paid for January. “They can book the revenue, and they don’t need to worry about the cash flow,” Mendelson said.

BOSTON (AP) — Brandon Jennings scored 28 points, making a key 3-pointer with 46.7 seconds left, and matched his season high with 14 assists Wednesday night and the Detroit Pistons held on for a 107-106 win over the Boston Celtics. Andre Drummond scored 14 points with 16 rebounds and Josh Smith added 20 points for the Pistons, who won for the seventh time in 11 games. It was the Pistons’ sixth road win in their past seven. Jared Sullinger scored 19 points, Jordan Crawford had 17, Avery Bradley 14 and Jeff Green 13 for Boston, which lost for just the third time in nine games. Green missed a driving one-hander wildly just before the horn sounded. The Pistons held a seven-point lead after Smith’s basket with 2:56 to play before Boston scored the next eight points.

Basketball Coaches Association/Subway Player of the Week for the district a few days ago. McCoy shot the Railroaders out in front early, hitting two baskets at the end of the first quarter and another to kick off the second period to give Garrett a commanding 12-3 lead. “He worked awful hard over the summer to add the drive to his game. That’s how he got going tonight,” Bodey said. But the lead didn’t stay here, as Bellmont ended the half on an 8-0 run to lead 17-15 going into the locker room. Singleton was also in double figures with 11 points, and blocked four shots while grabbing four rebounds. Estep had four points, Andrea Rosati had three points, and Cooper and Kordell Kessler had two
points each. Cooper also added seven rebounds. Bienz led Bellmont with 14 points, with Zeser also in double figures with 12. King chipped in seven points and Maverick Birch five points. Both teams struggled shooting the ball. Garrett was 6 of 26 from the field in the first half and only slightly improved on that in the second half, finishing 16 of 50 for the game (32 percent). Bellmont wasn’t much better at 34 percent (16 of 47) and was only able to stay in the game because of offensive rebounds. “I thought our defense was decent,” Bodey said. “It wasn’t great. It was decent when it needed to be and we got the stops.” Garrett has won four straight games since a season-opening loss to Eastside. With a Allen County
David Pearson, Junior Johnson, the late Buck Baker and the late Dale Earnhardt all have something in common besides being members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. They all won races in the NASCAR division now known as Sprint Cup in a car numbered 3. Four other members of the Hall — Tim Flock, Cotton Owens, Fireball Roberts and Cale Yarborough — also drove cars numbered 3 in NASCAR’s elite division. All told, the No. 3 has had 73 different drivers since Bill Snowden made the debut run, finishing fifth at Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsboro, N.C., back in 1949. Fittingly, it was the third race ever for the circuit now known as Sprint Cup. Legendary driver Dick Rathmann got the first-ever win for No. 3 at Oakland, Calif., in 1954. He wound up winning a total of three, with victories at North Wilkesboro, N.C., and at Santa Fe Speedway in Willow Springs, Ill. They were his final three NASCAR victories. David Pearson got the first of his 105 Cup victories in a No. 3 Pontiac owned by Ray Fox, and Junior Johnson won nine times in cars numbered 3. But since the start of the 1976 season, the No. 3 has belonged to Richard Childress, who drove the car himself until midway through the 1981 season when Earnhardt took the wheel for the final 11 races. Earnhardt left to drive for Bud Moore at the end of that season, and Ricky Rudd took over in 1982 and delivered Childress’ No. 3 its first win at Riverside, Calif., in 1983. Earnhardt returned to Childress and the No. 3 for the start of the 1984 season, and got the first of his 67 wins in the car at Talladega in the 19th race of that season. He had won six championships in the No. 3, plus another for Rod Osterlund in a No. 2 Chevrolet, before he died in a crash in the 2001 Daytona 500. Earnhardt’s final victory in the No. 3, at Talladega in the fall of 2000, gave that car 97 career Cup victories, which is third behind the No. 11, with 203 wins, and the No. 43, with 198. Since Earnhardt’s death, the No. 3 has not been used in Cup, but it will return next season with Childress’ older grandson, Austin Dillon, driving. Dillon has used the No. 3, with the same shape of the number as his grandfather and Earn-

It was on his dirt Late Model cars as well as the truck he drove to a Camping World Truck Series championship in 2011 and the Nationwide Series car he drove to a title this year. The move, officially announced last week, has been common knowledge in NASCAR circles for months, and there has been little adverse reaction to Dillon using the car number most associated with the wildly popular Earnhardt. Most fans and insiders in the sport figured all along that the only appropriate candidates to bring back the No. 3 would be a member of either the Earnhardt or Childress family, and Dillon fits that bill. Since the earliest races of Dillon’s career, there’s been speculation that one day he’d drive in Cup in a car numbered just like the ones his grandfather and Earnhardt drove. And from the beginning, Childress indicated that he’d be in favor of it. When Dillon made his Super Late Model debut at a dirt track in Madison, N.C., years ago, Childress was asked about the number. “I think it has to be a special deal to bring back the No. 3,” he said that night
as he watched the youngster power his way around the clay oval. “And to me, this is a special deal.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. also has expressed support for Dillon and the No. 3 for years. And as one who is known for his great appreciation of the history of the sport, he understands better than most what car numbers mean in the entire history of NASCAR. “The number is more of a bank that you just deposit history into,” Earnhardt Jr. once said. “It doesn’t really belong to any individual.” For his rookie Cup campaign, Dillon will have veteran crew chief Gil Martin, who most recently worked with Kevin Harvick at Richard Childress Racing. Sponsorship will come from Dow and General Mills. Dillon said he’s ready for the challenges that come with racing in Cup and is proud to be making the move. “To get the opportunity to race in the Sprint Cup Series doesn’t come around very often,” he said. “To be able to compete in Cup and race for wins and championships is going to be awesome. “I’m going to give it my all every time out.”
NASCAR announces several promotions in key positions for 2014

talented people he has put in place to achieve that vision,” Dewar said in a release announcing his hiring. “I have great passion for racing and I look forward to adding my experience, ideas and relationships throughout racing to help the team drive NASCAR’s growth and position it for a bright future.” NASCAR also announced that Steve Phelps, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, has been promoted to executive vice president, and that Steve O’Donnell, senior vice president, racing operations, has been promoted to executive vice president. NASCAR’s general counsel, Gary Crotty, has been promoted to chief legal officer/general counsel. Mike Helton remains NASCAR president, and as such, is in charge of all racing operations. NASCAR also announced last week that Jimmy Small will take over as president of Iowa Speedway, which recently was purchased by NASCAR. Small, 28, has worked for NASCAR for six years, most recently as a business and marketing liaison with teams and drivers in all three national series. Small also helped manage the implementation of the NASCAR Industry Action Plan, which includes efforts to attract younger fans to the sport. “I’m honored to be presented with this opportunity to help guide Iowa Speedway in the next chapter of its life,” Small said in a release about his new job. “We will continue fanning the intense passion for motorsports that is prevalent here, and do our best to showcase Iowa Speedway’s fast, exciting short-track racing in creative, fan-friendly ways.”

NOTEBOOK
‘Salute to the King’ to mark Kinser’s final run for a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and a one-time Sprint Cup driver, announced last week that the 2014 season will be his final run for a championship. His final tour will be called the “Salute to the King” and begins in February on the short tracks of Florida. Kinser, 59, has 576 career Outlaw A-main victories and drives a car owned by Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, who as a kid idolized his fellow Indiana racer. “I never missed an Outlaw show in the area when I was growing up,” Stewart said. “We waited for those nights like they were holidays. “It was incredible watching Steve race with Sammy (Swindell) and Doug (Wolfgang). He was our guy, being from Indiana, and when he won, it gave us all something to brag about. And he won a lot. “A few years ago, when we had the chance to get him to drive for [Tony Stewart Racing], it was like a dream come true. “When we got him on board, my goal was for him to drive for us for the remainder of his career. I’m really excited for him to go out and have a great season. He’s the best ever, and I couldn’t be more proud.” Kinser, who did not say he is retiring completely from racing, said he’s proud of what he’s been able to do over the years. “Racing with the Outlaws has been my life for almost 40 years,” he said. “It’s all I’ve known. My family has been around it. I’ve had the pleasure of running up and down the road racing all across this incredible country, and even in Canada, Mexico and Australia, with this series. “I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. I feel like we have a great team here capable of winning a lot of races and challenging for the championship this year.”
Speedway Benefits program off to strong start Forty-five days after longtime NASCAR promoter H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler announced his Speedway Benefits program for short-track promoters, he’s signed 300 tracks to the program that offers a way for promoters to work together to save money on input costs and attract more sponsorships. “This proves the idea was sound and greatly needed,” said Trip Wheeler, the 20-year-old son of the company founder who also is working on the program. “We are signing up tracks as fast as our Laps led this season by can Camping World Truck Series seven-person staff handle.

Legendary bovine back in the groove The big brass — you know, the sports dweebs that pick against me — messed things up a little bit last week and Hannah didn’t appear in her usual spot. I was told they had a technical difficulty. Personally, I think they are still hurting from the fact that a cow left them in the dust during football season. Anyway, if you felt lost without Hannah there to pick the winners for you, this cow is back. I once missed a week when a blizzard struck in 1978. There were calls to the local newspapers wondering if the poor cow that picked all the winners had been caught up in a snow drift. Are you kidding? I predicted the storm was coming and was in the barn when it hit and spent the next three days chomping on hay. Santa was kind enough to bring area hoops fans all kinds of gifts this holiday season. East Noble and DeKalb boys teams will take part in the Carroll Shootout for the third year in a row, playing four times on Dec. 27 and 28. Opening day action will see the Barons play at Homestead, where they’ll face Blackhawk Christian at 10 a.m. and Hamilton Southeastern at
6 p.m. East Noble goes against Homestead at noon and Marion at 4 p.m. The East Noble and Hamilton girls play in a tournament at Northridge on Dec. 27-28. In opening day contests, East Noble plays NorthWood at 11 a.m. and faces South Bend Adams at 2:30 p.m. Hamilton goes against Columbia City at 9:30 a.m. and Andrean at 1 PICKIN’ p.m. THE PREPS Fremont’s boys and girls play in a holiday Hannah Holstein tournament in Coldwater, Mich. on Dec. 27-28.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Seattle’s Browner suspended RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Wednesday for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. The suspension is the second in two seasons for Browner. He was suspended four games last season for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. He’s the second Seahawks player to be suspended for violating the substance abuse policy this season. Fellow cornerback Walter Thurmond is serving the final week of a four-game suspension. Browner, whose suspension is effective immediately and without pay, sent out a lengthy statement vowing that he would continue to fight his suspension and sounding resigned that his career with the Seahawks was over. “I want to thank the Seahawks organization for the incredible opportunity they gave me when they took a chance on a player who was out of the NFL and playing in the CFL for 4 years,” Browner wrote. “I also want to thank all of my teammates, coaches, trainers, staff and the 12’s (fans) for their support, respect, and friendship and for helping me grow into the player, father, and person I am today. I have been treated with nothing but first class by everyone associated with the Seattle Seahawks and for that I am forever grateful. “Although I disagree with the circumstances surrounding my suspension, I accept responsibility for all of my actions and I apologize for any that causes any unflattering reflections of my family and the Seahawks. I believe in my innocence and will continue to fight with all legal resources available to me to.” Browner, who was injured in Week 10 against Atlanta and hasn’t played since, filed an appeal of the suspension while injured and the Seahawks were waiting for an answer from the league. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said earlier Wednesday before the suspension was announced that he was frustrated the process for making a determination on Browner’s status had taken so long. “It has taken a long time and I’ve been a little disappointed in that, but we’re handling it,” Carroll said.
Padres, Benoit agree to deal SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Padres have agreed with former Detroit Tigers closer Joaquin Benoit on a $15.5 million, two-year contract, a person familiar with the situation said Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal is pending Benoit passing a physical. In his first season as Tigers closer, Benoit had 24 saves in 26 chances. But in Game 2 of the AL championship series, he allowed a tying grand slam by Boston’s David Ortiz that was a turning point in the series. A starter early in his career, Benoit has been strictly a reliever since 2006 while with the Texas Rangers. He is 44-35 lifetime with a 4.11 ERA and 37 saves. Benoit, who turns 37 on July 26, is expected to replace setup man Luke Gregerson, who was traded to Oakland for outfielder Seth Smith. He could also be insurance for closer Huston Street, who’s been on the disabled list three times the last two seasons. Street is entering the final year of a $14 million, two-year deal. The Padres hold a $7 million option for 2015.
Trine women win at Defiance DEFIANCE, Ohio — Trine University’s women’s basketball team took much better care of the basketball than Defiance did and shot a little bit better than the Yellowjackets did in a 65-57 Thunder road victory Wednesday night. Trine (2-7) forced 19 Defiance turnovers and scored 22 points off those turnovers. The Yellowjackets (2-6) only scored 11 points off of only eight Thunder giveaways. Trine shot 39 percent from the floor (22-56) while Defiance shot at a 36 percent clip (20-56). The Thunder had the free-throw shooting edge, making 18-of-25 foul shots while the Yellowjackets made 13 of 15 free throws. Kelsey Henselmeier and Alivia Recker each had 16 points and five rebounds to lead Trine. Henselmeier also had four steals and four assists. Eight Thunder players reached the score sheet. Amy Newell added eight points, nine rebounds, four blocked shots and three steals. Katelyn Sager chipped in with seven points and three rebounds. Kayla Dunn had six points and three assists. Hannah Harshman had 14 points, nine boards and three assists for Defiance.

Columnist presents his annual Outhouse Awards It’s time expose the worst outdoor products and services from 2013 with this year’s installment of Outdoorswithdon’s Outhouse Awards. OUTDOORS As always, WITH DON all of the products mentioned Don Mulligan were purchased and used in the field under real outdoor sports conditions, and are in no particular order. 1. Flambeau howler coyote decoy — This decoy looks real enough to fool a coyote, but the legs need to be permanently attached. They unnecessarily detach for storage and are a pain to put back together in the field. Carrying it with the legs already attached is a problem too since they routinely either fall off, or break off where they connect to the body. 2. U.S. Airways — An airline makes this list every year, partially because so many outdoorsmen and women travel out of state, but mainly because universally their customer service is often horrifyingly bad. This year’s winner/loser is U.S. Airways. On a trip to the Cayman Islands to snorkel this year, they cancelled my first flight after we boarded, then rebooked me on another flight that had already

left, then lost my bags on the way home. Along the journey I dealt with agents and customer service representatives who clearly did not have a clue about what they were doing and openly didn’t care. 3. Porcupine fish attractor — Insert various lengths of PVC pipes into these plastic spheres and drop them into a lake to create fish habitat. It is a great idea but they are made so cheaply it is hard to get them into place without breaking them into pieces. 4. Rage broadheads — Most mechanical broadheads are unreliable, especially when the shot at an extreme angle to the target. Rage is the worst, however, and probably responsible for a lot of wounded, unrecovered deer. The blades are too loose and have to slide down and hold upon impact. When I pointed out the potential
for failure to a rage dealer, he said he uses wax to hold them in place on the arrow. Any time you find yourself having to fix the design of a broadhead to make it work, it is not worth using. 5. Earthway 2050P broadcast spreader — With the growth of food plots, hand-operated seed and fertilizer spreaders are becoming very important to outdoorsmen and women. Earthway is a North central Indiana company with a decent product to fill the niche, but it has one massive problem. Unless it can be purchased assembled, it is not worth the money. This spreader comes in too many pieces and has very poorly written instructions. After one hour, two of us gave up on it, piled it back in the box and returned it. 6. Mojo Outdoors

predator decoy — This rotating fur ball might help bring wary coyotes in for a shot if it were made better. The stake that holds it up is junk and breaks the first time it is pushed into even modestly hard or frozen ground. 7. Foodsaver vacuum sealer — Because preserving the fish and game I harvest is important, I immediately upgraded my vacuum sealer when my old one broke. I wish I had my old, cheaper one back. While the old one was straightforward and easy to use, the newest model is nonsensical and infuriating. It is not clear how to just seal a new bag or vacuum, and the new design won’t allow the user to double seal
the seams like the old one. 8. Primos and Bushnell products — When Bushnell purchased Primos in 2012 it was the union of the two cheapest outdoor product manufacturers in the business. Then, when defense contractor Alliant Techsystems, Inc. purchased Bushnell in 2013, already cheap products got even worse. Most of the products are very poorly made with cheap materials, and customer service is cumbersome and hard to navigate for refunds or returns. 9. Gerber machete — I realize Gerber doesn’t make high-end blades, but the metal used on their machete is too thin. I use mine a lot for
clearing brush, but have to regularly stop and pound out the blade where it folds over. 10. Mission MX360 crossbow — This weapon shoots accurately and consistently but is made too cheaply considering what it costs. For $1,000, it shouldn’t have a hollow, plastic butt and foreend. They are noisy when hit against anything and can easily break or crack, especially in cold weather. Mission tried to dampen the noise with rubber grips but it isn’t enough of a fix for the money.

Natural gas burns cleaner but not a solution to C02 emission problems Dear EarthTalk: How can it be that carbon dioxide emissions are the lowest they have been in the United States in 20 years despite the fact that we have no binding federal legislation limiting them? — Jason Johnson, Port Chester, NY

Carbon dioxide emissions are indeed lower than at any time since 1994, according to data recently released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). But if you think that the rise of the hybrid car, our embrace of public transit, walking, biking and those new windows on the house are behind the trend, think again. According to the EIA, increased energy efficiency has played a role, as have recent warmer winters and the recession, but the key driver has been the swapping out of coal at power plants and industrial facilities across the country for cleaner-burning and now more abundant natural gas. The reason so much natural gas is around is the rise of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), a technique

whereby drillers inject water and chemicals into underground shale rock deposits to free up otherwise trapped natural gas. Fracking has allowed U.S. oil companies to access huge natural gas deposits from the Marcellus Shale in the Northeast and elsewhere. The increased supply has brought natural gas prices down so that it has been cheaper than coal during the last few years. Our carbon footprint benefits because burning natural gas to generate electricity generates about half the carbon emissions of coal for every megawatt hour of power generated. But Americans might not want to pat themselves on the back for too long, as the positive trend won’t continue indefinitely. “Replacing coal with natural gas reduces smokestack emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and mercury, but natural gas production and distribution comes with a host of problems, including methane leaks, contaminated water supplies, destroyed streams and devastated landscapes,” says Dan Lashof of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a leading environmental group. “And while gas-fired power plants have lower carbon dioxide emissions than coal-fired ones, their emissions are still far too high to be considered a global warming solution.” Furthermore, EIA says

our energy-related carbon emissions are already rising again given recent increases in natural gas prices that have steered some utilities back to coal. The EIA anticipates U.S. energy-related carbon emissions rising 1.7 percent in 2013 and another 0.9 percent in 2014. The most important remaining question, says Lashof, is whether or not the U.S. will continue to reduce its CO2 emissions to achieve the president’s 2020 goal of a 17 percent reduction from 2005 levels—and eventually the 80 percent or more reductions needed to prevent the most dangerous risks of climate disruption. The target is within reach, he says, but power plant carbon pollution standards, among other changes, will be needed. Lashof adds that the only way to keep the ball rolling is via a coordinated effort including stricter federal carbon and energy efficiency standards, new state renewable energy and energy efficiency incentives and reworked zoning and transportation policies that discourage the use of private automobiles. “We can build the clean energy future we need, but we aren’t there yet and it’s not going to happen by itself.” Also, even if Americans can mobilize to get their emissions in check, will it matter? During 2012, energy-related carbon emissions fell by some 3.7 percent in the U.S., but rose 1.4 percent overall around the world. Indeed, global carbon emissions are on an unrelenting upward march as developing nations acquire the taste for the extravagant fossil-fuel-driven lifestyle perfected in the U.S. EARTHTALK is written and

Husband’s actions make wife feel discontentment DEAR ABBY: I married “Larry” five years ago, and he is good to me. I have two beautiful grandchildren who are my daughter’s. If I don’t see them once a week I miss them. (They are 2 1/2 and 16 months old.) Larry doesn’t miss the babies or want to see them once a week. Sometimes when they come to the house, he doesn’t speak to them or play with them. He says he wants his peace and quiet at the house. Larry’s great with the babies in public. He is also good about playing with our friends’ kids. But he doesn’t want the grandchildren to spend the night here because he doesn’t want his sleep disturbed. (He can get up at 4 a.m. to go fishing, though.) He has two sons and doesn’t mind if he hears from them only twice a year. He’s the type of person who says what

Three options for treating hyperthyroidism hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid. A person with hyperthyroidism can experience a range of symptoms including insomnia, excess sweating, racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, exhaustion, nervousness, weight loss, a voracious appetite and ASK diarrhea. DOCTOR K. The goal of treatment is to stop Dr. Anthony the thyroid gland from too Komaroff making much thyroid hormone and to fight the effects of too much hormone. There are three ways to do this: • Radioactive iodine destroys part of your thyroid in order to reduce your
•
body’s production of thyroid hormone. Your doctor must estimate how much radioactive iodine to give you to make your thyroid gland produce normal levels of hormone. But it is next to impossible to be exact and to get it “just right.” Doctors would rather err in the direction of giving you a high-enough dose to make sure an overactive thyroid gland is fixed once and for all. As a result, the dose of the radioactive iodine will be slightly more than required — and your thyroid will be underactive from now on. That’s an easy problem to deal with. You will take thyroid hormone for the rest of your life. A pill will give you the extra thyroid hormone you need, because your thyroid gland is not making it. • Anti-thyroid drugs block the thyroid gland’s ability to make the hormone. The advantage of anti-thyroid drugs is that they do not leave your thyroid permanently

DEAR DOCTOR K: What are the treatment options for hyperthyroidism? Can you discuss the pros and cons of each one? DEAR READER: The thyroid gland in your neck makes thyroid hormone. This chemical circulates in the blood and affects the functioning of every cell in your body. It is essential for life, but you need to have just the right amount circulating, not too much and not too little. Normally, your thyroid gland doles out just the right amount of thyroid hormone to keep your body running smoothly. But sometimes the thyroid does not produce enough hormone, slowing down all of your body’s functions. This condition is called hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid. Or the thyroid can produce too much hormone, sending your systems into overdrive. This condition is known as
B5
damaged. The downside is that you can’t predict how long you’ll need to take them. And, although it doesn’t happen often, the drugs can produce serious side effects, including liver failure. • Surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid is safe and highly effective. But if your entire thyroid gland is removed, your body will no longer produce thyroid hormone. As a result, you will become hypothyroid and need thyroid hormone replacement for life. The final treatment decision rests on a number of factors, including your age, the cause of your condition and its severity. Make sure you understand the benefits and drawbacks of your options. And don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoc torK.com.

Syria pounds opposition areas Public schools progress more in urban areas
BEIRUT (AP) — In a withering four-day air assault, the Syrian government pummeled opposition-held neighborhoods in the northern city of Aleppo, leveling apartment buildings, flooding hospitals with casualties and killing nearly 200 people. Rebels say the unusually intense airstrikes have prompted civilians to flee to the countryside and could portend a government ground offensive against the opposition-held half of the city, which has been divided for a year and half by grueling fighting. The air campaign’s timing — five weeks ahead of an international peace conference — also suggests that Syrian President Bashar Assad could be trying to strengthen his position on the ground while exposing the opposition’s weaknesses before sitting down at the negotiating table. The stakes are high in the battle for Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and a former commercial and industrial hub. For the government, wresting back control of the entire city would deal a devastating blow to the rebels’ morale and throw doubt on the opposition’s long-term hold on the vast territory in northern Syria that it has captured over the past two years. Since it began on Sunday, the government air assault has hammered more than a dozen neighborhoods in the rebel-held areas of Aleppo. The campaign has
WASHINGTON (AP) — Public school students in the nation’s largest cities are improving their performance in reading and math faster than their counterparts in suburban and rural schools, according to federal data released Wednesday. The biggest gains by far were in the nation’s capital. The results from the 21 urban school districts measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress — known as the “Nation’s Report Card” — show that while students in poor, urban districts still fall AP short of national averages, Syrians inspect the rubble of damaged barrel bombs over opposition-held parts the gap has narrowed over buildings following a government of the city Wednesday, the fourth day of the past decade.

Activists reasons. pating districts must have a
minority student population of at least 50 percent, and at least half of the students must be eligible for free or reduced-priced lunches, a measure of poverty. Students are tested in reading and math in both fourth and eighth grades. Over the past 10 years, the gap between large cities and the nation has narrowed by roughly one-third in both grades and both subjects. “This progress is encouraging,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement. “It means that in 2013, tens of thousands of additional students in large cities are proficient or above in math or reading than was the case four years ago.” Some of the districts that have seen steady improvement — including New York and Washington — have implemented aggressive school-reform policies, including teacher evaluations based in part on classroom performance. But Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools, said the results should not be seen as an endorsement of any particular ideology. “I think what it’s an endorsement of is more rigorous and more high-quality instruction in urban classrooms,” he said.
