GOOD MORNING Southern Indiana counties under travel advisories INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Emergency managers kept travel advisories posted Saturday for most southern Indiana counties following a winter storm that dumped more than 10 inches of snow on some locations and contributed to the deaths of two motorists. All but three Indiana counties bordering the Ohio River had travel advisories or more serious travel watches in place Saturday evening, and one, Crawford County, was under a travel warning, restricting travel to emergency management workers only. In all, 31 counties posted travel advisories of various levels. The advisories likely kept many people off the roads. No major travel incidents or other problems were reported Saturday.

Mother, son doing fine after kidney transplant BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com
LIGONIER — Relief and happiness flooded the family of the Rev. Candy Kaiser and her family on Friday, following a delicate kidney-transplant operation at the IU Medical Center in Indianapolis. Kaiser, pastor at Ligonier United Methodist Church, donated one of her kidneys to her son, Brad Robinson, and the first reports coming out of Indianapolis from
Friday’s operations are encouraging. “I got to visit with Brad for a few minutes late this morning,” Kaiser said Saturday afternoon from her hospital bed. “I am having quite a lot of pain today, but seeing him smiling and looking good is the best pain reliever ever!” The operations took several hours and were done in side-byside operating rooms at the medical SEE TRANSPLANT, PAGE A8

Massive crowds, world leaders to honor Mandela JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa expects overwhelming crowds and a host of world leaders to attend services honoring late President Nelson Mandela, though with the ceremonies only days away officials acknowledged Saturday they couldn’t offer specifics yet. Across the country, South Africans already have begun honoring Mandela, who died Thursday at age 95, and officials expect tens of thousands to participate in next week’s official services. In their first statement since Mandela’s death, his family said they had “lost a great man,” just as they had when South Africa’s apartheid government imprisoned him for decades.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A tired but smiling 85-year-old U.S. veteran detained in North Korea for several weeks returned home Saturday to applause from supporters, yellow ribbons tied to pillars outside his home and the warm embrace of his family. Merrill Newman arrived at the San Francisco airport after turning down a ride aboard Vice President Joe Biden’s Air Force Two in favor of a direct flight from Beijing. He emerged into the international terminal smiling, accompanied by his son and holding the hand of his wife amid applause from supporters. He spoke briefly to the assembled media, declining to answer any questions or discuss his ordeal. “I’m delighted to be home,” he said. “It’s been a great homecoming. I’m tired, but ready to be with my family.” He also thanked the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang, North Korea, and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing for helping to secure his release. Newman was detained in late October at the end of a 10-day trip to North Korea, a visit that came six decades after he oversaw a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas during the 1950-53 war. Last month, Newman read from an awkwardly worded alleged confession that apologized for, among other things, killing North Koreans during the war. Analysts questioned whether the statement was coerced, and former SEE VET, PAGE A8
Questions remain on Affordable Care Act BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com
The Affordable Care Act’s website, healthcare.gov, is running more smoothly, according to one area insurance agent, but questions about the ramifications of the new law remain. “Who knows if this is going to work?” said Rick Roark of Roark’s Insurance Service in Auburn. “And who knows what this is going to be two years from now?” Specializing in health coverage, Roark is one of the few agents who have become certified to help
people buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act. The federal government has extended the deadline for people to sign up for a new policy until Dec. 23 for plans taking effect Jan. 1, Roark 2014. With a goal of everyone in the nation having health insurance, the Affordable Care Act has brought some positive benefits, Roark said. Those who qualify to have their
insurance premiums subsidized by the federal government get the benefits immediately through lower payments rather than waiting until the following year to claim a tax credit on income tax returns. According to Roark, approximately 48 percent of people qualify for some sort of subsidy, based on annual household income. A single person who earns less than $45,960 qualifies. The figure jumps to $62,040 for a couple. A family of four that earns less than $94,200 also likely will qualify for
some sort of subsidy, Roark said. Roark said the earnings are based on what everyone in the household earns, not just the main breadwinner. “You have to include everybody’s income,” he said. Another positive is that people who apply for health insurance, through the government marketplace available for perusal online or through private policies, no longer can be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition, Roark said. He estimated that in the past, approxSEE INSURANCE, PAGE A8

COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) — Concerns from residents could prompt Columbus public safety officials to keep a closer watch on parts of the city. A proposal under consideration would install high-definition video cameras at key sites and transmit footage to the county emergency operations center and police department. Police officers also would be able to access the feeds from computers in their squad cars, The Republic reported. The project is expected to cost about $116,000 and would be paid for with money from the technical advisory committee’s budget. City officials are working on a request for proposals and hope to have bids by mid-January. “This is going to, for a relatively small capital expenditure, pay great dividends and increase our ability in terms of investigations,” Mayor Kristen Brown said.

Caucus elects Koomler as Steuben auditor ANGOLA — Kim Koomler is coming back to take the seat as one of Steuben County’s chief fiscal officers. The Steuben County Republican Party’s caucus Thursday chose Koomler to fill the auditor position. She was the only candidate. The auditor’s seat will be vacated with the resignation of Auditor Pam Coleman, effective Jan. 1. Coleman is in her second term as auditor and is leaving to pursue other professional endeavors. Koomler worked her way up through Koomler the auditor’s office, serving as chief deputy auditor under then-Auditor Linda Hansen, then as Steuben County Auditor for two terms — eight years — and nine years as payroll/human resources deputy. Koomler currently works as communications manager for the Indiana Department of Child Services.
Judge dismisses charges against ex-officer AUBURN — Judge Kevin Wallace Tueesday dismissed criminal charges filed against a former police officer, ruling the charges are barred by Indiana’s statute of limitations. Sean Kahkola, of the 15000 block of Towne Park Run, Huntertown, stood trial in DeKalb Superior Court I Tuesday for two counts of criminal conversion, both Class A misdemeanors. But the original charges were filed more than two years after Kahkola allegedly took control of the property, Wallace said. That was too late for misdemeanor charges under Indiana law.
Scare causes lockdown at high school BUTLER — A Butler man who reportedly intended to scare his daughter as he arrived to pick her up at school caused a lockdown at Eastside Junior-Senior High School Tuesday afternoon. Chad J. Czaja, 34, of the 200 block of Park Lane, was arrested along East Green Street, directly in front of the high school. At 3:19 p.m., police received a report of a man dressed in camouflage clothing and possessing a rifle in a red Dodge Durango near the high school. “We do not believe at this time that there was any criminal intent with the weapons. Just a series of very, very bad choices,� Butler Police Chief James Nichols said after the incident. Czaja was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, criminal recklessness and leaving the scene of an accident. Additional charges are possible, Nichols said.
Region makes gains in per-capita income Efforts to bolster the northeast Indiana economy are being backed up by data that suggest the region is making strides compared to other parts of the country. But the hard work is far from over. The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership held a “State of the Region� event Tuesday at The Summit in Fort Wayne, where representatives of the partnership and the Community Research Institute at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne discussed the findings of two reports that track a decade’s worth of economic data. In 2009, per-capita income in northeast Indiana was 79 percent of the national average. With the gain in 2012, the disparity lessened; per-capita income in the region was 81.2 percent of the national average.
Noble County will use vote centers ALBION — Residents of Noble County will cast their ballots at vote centers in the May 2014 primary election. The Noble County Council voted 7-0 Monday to approve using vote centers, rather than precinct polling places as in the past. The council’s vote was the last hurdle the proposal needed to clear to become a reality. The key to making vote centers work is early voting, Noble County Clerk Shelley Mawhorter Mawhorter said, adding, “We want people to vote early, and we want people to be able to vote early.�

All the world’s a market Fort Wayne MSA exports increased to $1.35B in 2012 BY DOUG LEDUC dleduc@kpcmedia.com
The marketing of northeast Indiana does not stop at our nation’s borders, and the most recent data available for the Fort Wayne metropolitan statistical area shows three years of successive exporting gains. The latest data available from the International Trade Administration showed merchandise shipments to foreign destinations from Fort Wayne’s MSA fell 19.8 percent to $916.8 million for 2009, from the previous year, but then rose 48 percent during the next three years to $1.35 billion in 2012. The MSA includes Allen, Wells and Whitley counties. Fort Wayne ranked sixth among Indiana metro areas for exports. The Fort Wayne area’s merchandise shipments to foreign destinations increased 5 percent in 2012 from $1.28 billion the previous year. “Even though Indiana ranks first in the nation for manufacturing employment as a proportion of total jobs, it ranks 13th in exports,� said Ellen Cutter, director of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne’s Community Research Institute. “Thirteenth is a strong position to be in; it just means a good proportion of our manufacturing base serves the domestic market,� she said. The country’s top five exporting states are Texas, California, New York, Florida and Washington. The top exporting sectors of the Fort Wayne area are tied to manufacturing — specifically transportation equipment and machinery
manufacturing — and to primary metals and to electrical equipment. Examples of Fort Wayne-area exporters in those categories include: General Motors Co. and Dana Corp. for transportation equipment; Parker Hannifin Corp. and Deister Machine Co. for machinery manufacturing; Steel Dynamics Inc. for primary metals; and BAE Systems, Caliente, Exelis and Ultra Electronics-USSI for electrical equipment.

It has helped broaden our horizons in terms of benchmarking best practices among our customers, vendors and competitors.

Elissa McGauley, who is in the city’s international trade office, said she is working with economic-development groups in northeast Indiana to promote it.

If the merchandise isn’t sold in the United States, but is instead re-exported, a duty payment isn’t required. A manufacturer interested in assembling products in a foreign trade zone to defer or avoid paying duty on imported components must apply to the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones Board for a subzone. The board officially consists of the U.S. commerce secretary and treasury secretary, who typically oversee specialists who handle its responsibilities.

Mrs. Record died Nov. 18 at the age of 73, leaving behind a legacy of love for art and children. She was born Aug. 10, 1940, in Waterloo to Truman and Agnes Welly. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in education from Ball State University and Master of Science in Education degree from the University of Saint Francis. She and her husband, Linc, of Auburn have two children, Eric and Erin, and four grandchildren. Deb Argast, a longtime collaborator, said Record made art approachable and relatable. “It was amazing to watch her work and break down art in steps,” Argast said. For the past two years, Record taught the art series “Marlene’s Masterpieces” for the Kids in the Neighborhood after school program at Auburn Presbyterian Church. Argast will keep the program’s name in Record’s honor. Record also assisted Argast at the Eckhart Public Library for several years teaching programs such as Luncheon at the Arts and Buncha Books. The two were in the planning stages for a program sharing Record’s extensive Mexican art collection for Dias Los Muertos Day before her death.
Record taught for several decades at DeKalb Middle School before retiring in 2003. Before coming to the DeKalb Central United School District, Record taught at Alexandria Public Schools and Maconaquah Schools. Judy Marlow, a former coworker at DeKalb Middle School and close friend, said Record was known for her pranks. “She helped to make it a fun place to work,” Marlow said. Mike Bennett, another coworker, said Record liked to use her artistic skill to come up with pranks, adding, “She knew how to shift the blame to someone else.” When coworkers had a birthday or when someone retired, Record made excellent homemade cards, oftening involving a grand caricature. “We always loved seeing what she could come up with,” Marlow said. Record took great pride in teaching about art and incorporated historical elements into the classroom. “She liked to give background to the kids,” Marlow said. For an art project on dragons, Marlow taught students about Medieval times. Along with teaching art, Record illustrated several children’s books, among them “Two Different Directions” by J.A. Pollard and “The Adventures of Roxie the Dog,” by Larry Ward. She also illustrated a coloring book of DeKalb County. Record served as the judge for the Teen Art Show at Eckhart
“She made art come alive. ... You could see the joy in her.” Janelle Graber Eckhart Public Library director
• Public Library for the past several years. Librarian Mary Graber said Record always made it a point to give constructive feedback on the entrants’ artwork. “She saw the promise in our local teen artists and wanted to encourage them to continue in their artistic pursuits,” Graber said. Janelle Graber, director of Eckhart Public Library, said Record brought energy and enthusiasm to the library. “She made art come alive,” Janelle Graber said. Record also took great pride in her grandchildren. When Record’s grandsons won an award for a writing contest at the library, she was elated. “You could see the joy in her,” Janelle Graber said. Her favorite place to visit was Savannah, Ga., where her daughter Erin’s family lives. She painted murals in the bedrooms for her two granddaughters there. “She loved her grandchildren,” Marlow said. “She always encouraged them to draw things and enter art contests.”
Gene therapy winning over blood cancers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In one of the biggest advances against leukemia and other blood cancers in many years, doctors are reporting unprecedented success by using gene therapy to transform patients’ blood cells into soldiers that seek and destroy cancer. A few patients with one type of leukemia were given this one-time, experimental therapy several years ago and some remain cancerfree today. Now, at least six research groups have treated more than 120 patients with
many types of blood and bone marrow cancers, with stunning results. “It’s really exciting,” said Dr. Janis Abkowitz, blood diseases chief at the University of Washington in Seattle and president of the American Society of Hematology. “You can take a cell that belongs to a patient and engineer it to be an attack cell.” In one study, all five adults and 19 of 22 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, or ALL, had a complete remission, meaning no cancer could
be found after treatment, although a few have relapsed since then. These were gravely ill patients out of options. Some had tried multiple bone marrow transplants and up to 10 types of chemotherapy or other treatments. Cancer was so advanced in 8-year-old Emily Whitehead of Philipsburg, Pa., that doctors said her major organs would fail within days. She was the first child given the gene therapy and shows no sign of cancer today, nearly two years later. Results on other patients with myeloma, lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia will be reported at the hematology group’s conference that starts
Saturday in New Orleans. Doctors say this has the potential to become the first gene therapy approved in the United States and the first for cancer worldwide. Only one gene therapy is approved in Europe, for a rare metabolic disease. The treatment involves filtering patients’ blood to remove millions of white blood cells called T-cells, altering them in the lab to contain a gene that targets cancer, and returning them to the patient in infusions over three days. “What we are giving essentially is a living drug” — permanently altered cells that multiply in the body into an army to fight the cancer, said Dr. David Porter, a University of Pennsylvania scientist.

US-Russia helicopter deal faces rough ride
Obama rates Iran deal chances 50-50 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Saturday he believed the chances for a comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran are 50-50 or worse, yet defended diplomacy as the best way to prevent Tehran from acquiring atomic weapons. During a question-andanswer session with a pro-Israel audience, Obama said he wasn’t naive about the odds for a successful final agreement between world powers and Iran next year, building on the recent six-month interim deal. “If you ask me what is the likelihood that we’re able to arrive at the end state … I wouldn’t say that it’s more than 50-50,” Obama said. “But we have to try.” The president’s remark was somewhat startling. Obama has tried to allay the fears of many Israelis and some Americans that his administration last month promised to ease economic pressure too much in return for too few Iranian concessions. AP
Railway faces order for safety measures NEW YORK (AP) — The Metro-North Railroad has until Tuesday to identify places in its system with major speed changes under an order from federal transportation officials requiring an extra worker in the driver’s cab on routes like the one where a speeding commuter train derailed this week, killing four people. The emergency order by the Federal Railroad Administration, which also requires Metro-North to overhaul its signal system, was a reaction to Sunday’s wreck in the Bronx, where a train flew off the tracks after hitting a curve at 82 mph, nearly three times the 30 mph speed limit. The lone train operator told investigators he nodded at the controls and didn’t apply the brakes until it was too late. There was no system in place to ensure he didn’t miss the spot where he had to slow down as the curve approached. Engineers are required to know speed restrictions by heart, but there are no flashing lights, or even signs, to remind them to decelerate. “While we assist the National Transportation Safety Board in carrying out its investigation, this emergency order will help ensure that other Metro-North trains travel at appropriate, safe speeds,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said.
People • Dylan’s guitar sells for nearly $1 million NEW YORK (AP) — Like Elvis’ no-hips-allowed appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” or the Beatles’ arrival in America, or Woodstock, it is considered one of the milestone moments in rock history: Bob Dylan going Dylan electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. On Friday, the Fender Stratocaster that Dylan plugged in at the festival sold for nearly $1 million — the highest price ever paid for a guitar at auction. A buyer identified only as a private individual agreed to pay $965,000 at Christie’s, including the auction house’s fees, for the sunburst-finish electric guitar. Dylan’s legendary performance at the festival in Rhode Island 48 years ago marked his rupture with the folk movement’s old guard and solidified his shift away from acoustic music, like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” toward amplified rock, such as “Like a Rolling Stone.”

Traffic on IH-35E southbound sits at a complete stop Saturday in Sanger, Texas. Icy sections of Interstate 35 north of Dallas were closed for hours at a time as tractor-trailers had trouble climbing hills, wrecks occurred and vehicles stalled, authorities said.
Deep-freeze hits large swath of US MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A late fall cold snap that has gripped much of the country is being blamed for a handful of deaths and has forced people to deal with frigid temperatures, power outages by the thousands and treacherous roads. Weather forecasters say the powerful weather system has Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic in its icy sights next. Temperatures in Montana and South Dakota were more than 20 degrees below zero during the day Saturday while much of the Midwest was in the teens and single digits. Wind chill readings could drop as low as 50 below zero in northwestern Minnesota, weather officials said. Icy conditions were expected to last through the weekend from Texas to Ohio to Tennessee, and Virginia officials warned residents of a major ice
storm likely to take shape Sunday, resulting in power outages and hazards on the roads. In California, four people died of hypothermia in the San Francisco Bay area and about a half-dozen traffic-related deaths were blamed on the weather in several states. More than 100,000 customers in the Dallas area were without power Saturday, with about 7,000 in Oklahoma and thousands more in other states. Some 400 departing flights from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport had been canceled in the morning, the airport said. About 3,330 passengers had stayed overnight in the terminals. Icy, treacherous sections of Interstate 35 north of Dallas were closed for hours at a time over the last day as tractor-trailers had trouble climbing hills, wrecks occurred and vehicles stalled, authorities said.
Newlyweds killed man from Craigslist, police say SUNBURY, Pa. (AP) — A couple married for just three weeks lured a man to his death with a Craigslist ad because they wanted to kill someone together, police said. Elytte Barbour told officers before his arrest Friday night that he and his wife, Miranda, had planned to kill before, but their plans never worked out until last month when Troy LaFerrara responded to an online posting that promised companionship in return for money, authorities said. “They had tried to kill others before this victim but the plan didn’t work out so they continued to try to find someone,” police wrote in an affidavit. Elytte Barbour, 22, and Miranda Barbour, 18, face criminal homicide charges in LaFerrara’s death. His body was found Nov. 12 in an alley in Sunbury, a small city about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The couple had recently moved to nearby Selinsgrove from Dunn, N.C. According to Sunbury police, Elytte Barbour told investigators he hid under a blanket in the backseat of the couple’s SUV as his wife picked up LaFerrara at a mall Nov. 11. He told police that, on his wife’s signal, he wrapped a cord around LaFerrara’s neck,
restraining him while Miranda Barbour stabbed him. The 42-year-old Port Trevorton man was stabbed about 20 times, police said. Miranda Barbour was charged Tuesday, a day after police first contacted her. She initially denied knowing LaFerrara, but her story evolved as investigators gathered evidence, including the discovery that the last call received by the victim’s cellphone was made from her number, according to a police affidavit. The affidavit said Miranda Barbour acknowledged meeting the victim in Selinsgrove and driving with him to Sunbury, where they parked. She said LaFerrara groped her and she took a knife from between the front seats and stabbed him after he put his hand around her throat, according to the affidavit. Barbour told investigators “that they committed the murder because they just wanted to murder someone together,” police said in the affidavit. Police said Miranda Barbour had told them she purchased cleaning supplies at a department store after stabbing LaFerrara, then picked up her husband and took him to a strip club for his birthday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The deal looked sketchy from the start. To outfit Afghanistan’s security forces with new helicopters, the Pentagon bypassed U.S. companies and turned to Moscow for dozens of Russian Mi-17 rotorcraft at a cost of more than $1 billion. Senior Pentagon officials assured skeptical members of Congress that the Department of Defense had made the right call. They repeatedly cited a top-secret 2010 study they said named the Mi-17 as the superior choice. Turns out the study told a very different story, according to unclassified excerpts obtained by The Associated Press. The U.S. Army’s workhorse Chinook, built by Boeing in Pennsylvania, was found to be “the most cost-effective single platform type fleet for the Afghan Air Force over a twenty year” period, according to the excerpts. Lawmakers who were
following the copter deal were stunned. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate’s No. 2 GOP leader and one of the most vocal critics of the contract, said the Defense Department “repeatedly and disingenuously” used the study to prove the necessity of buying Mi-17s. More than two years since the Mi-17 contract was signed, a veil of secrecy still obscures the pact despite its high-dollar value, the potential for fraud and waste, and accusations the Pentagon muffled important information. The unprecedented arms deal also serves as a reminder to a war-weary American public that Afghanistan will remain heavily dependent on U.S. financial support even after its combat troops depart. “So why are we buying Russian helicopters when there are American manufacturers that can meet that very same requirement?” Cornyn asked. As recently as
September, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter cited the study in a letter to House members defending the decision. Carter left his job this past week. Last year, Frank Kendall, the Pentagon’s top acquisition official, and policy chief James Miller pointed to the study in a written response to questions posed by Cornyn. Just a few weeks after the secret study was completed, Army Secretary John McHugh wrote in a 2011 memo “that the Mi-17 stands apart” when compared with other helicopters. The Pentagon denies it misled Congress. A senior department official said the study was focused on long-term requirements and not the immediate needs of the Afghan military, which were best met by the Mi-17. Also, U.S. commanders in Afghanistan wanted the Mi-17 because it is durable, easy-to-operate and the Afghan forces had experience flying it.

Letters • Let Mary teach us a lesson at Christmas To the editor: A response to E. Gene Gorrell’s letter published Monday: This Advent and Christmas season, Christian churches will celebrate the mystery of Christ’s coming to us as a babe in Bethlehem’s manger. And the operative word there is “mystery.” Mr. Gorrell’s letter to the editor stated that, “All religions are based on unprovable beliefs.” This, to some extent is true, although I prefer to use the word “mystery.” At the heart of the Christian story is the mystery that a “virgin shall conceive” as the prophet Isaiah says. And so the angel Gabriel comes to Mary, a humble virgin from a town called Nazareth, betrothed to Joseph, and tells her that she will conceive the Son of God in her womb by the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit. And so Mary responds, “How can this be, since I know not a man?” But pay close attention to that — Mary is wondering at this mystery, but she’s no skeptic. She’s not saying she won’t believe. She’s not saying, “Hey Gabriel, unless you can prove to me through empirical science how this is possible, unless you can work this out by using the scientific method how a virgin shall conceive, I’m not going to believe you.” No. Mary is no modern person — she is a Christian. Mary has not made science her god. She knows that, should God choose to suspend the laws of nature so that a virgin can conceive, so be it. Because Mary believes that all things are possible with God. If God says so, she’s going to take him at his Word. And that’s basically what Mary says. “So be it.” Or in her words,
“Behold, I am a servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your Word.” (Luke 1:38) Mary is an example of faith for you and me. Mr. Gorrell does not accept miracles, and, he certainly doesn’t stand alone in that belief. This is a prevailing worldview in the world of 2013. Moderns think, if we can’t reason it, explain it, wrap our minds around it, than it can’t be true. We’re modern people, and therefore we hate and reject what we don’t understand. Let Mary teach us a lesson here at Christmas. When our powers of reason come up against faith — when our ability to understand comes up against God’s Word which clearly says that a virgin conceived by the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit, we have to be like Mary. We have to say, “No. There’s no way I can rationally wrap my head around this. I can’t figure this out scientifically. This is way beyond me. But God is God. And I am not. And if God says so, through the mouth of his messenger, I’m going to take him at his Word. I’m going to let reason and all my senses take a back seat to what God says.” That’s called humbling ourselves to God’s Word. Mary was humble, standing back and saying that what God can do is so much greater than my ability to figure it out. I can’t even begin to keep up with God. St. Paul basically says that when he says, “O the depth of the … wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!” (Rom. 11:33) Mary wonders but she’s no skeptic. As for the Christians in our communities this holiday season, we likewise wonder at this Christmas mystery, but we are not skeptical just because it is a mystery. The Rev. Andrew Yeager Zion Lutheran Church, Garrett
Mandela Many support some aspects of Obamacare “We need to do things remembered for that bend the cost curve,” Bucshon said. “One of the courage, wisdom big things I talk about a lot Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize winner, died Thursday at the age of 95. After being imprisoned for 27 years, he became the first black president of South Africa in 1994. A symbol of global peacemaking, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Here are few of the many quotes that help define him. • “To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” • “Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe Nelson is sharp enough to cut the Mandela soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.” • “I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.” • “Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.” • “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” • “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” • “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” • “Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” President Obama’s eulogy to Mandela concluded with these words, “We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again. So it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love; to never discount the difference that one person can make; to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice. “For now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived — a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. May God bless his memory and keep him in peace.” OUR VIEW is written on a rotating basis by Grace Housholder, Dave Kurtz, Matt Getts and Michael Marturello.

’Tis the season to be cranky — or kind The crabby shopkeeper scowled at us as we entered her opened door. She snapped she had to put her sign out first signifying she was open. This happened on a recent day trip to Michigan with a friend. “You shouldn’t have your door open then,” my friend told her, as we quickly left in silence. A father passing by heard the exchange and told us, “I guess she needs a time out.” How true. What a waste of energy on the cranky woman’s part. It would have been far easier for her to ask us to come back shortly and we would have obliged. At another shop, I couldn’t wait to tell shopkeepers how gorgeous their window decora-

The gift of stories is the most important thing to give family As a young woman, Steve’s grandmother, Miriam Wasilsky, left her small village in what is now Lithuania and moved to the city of Bialystok, Poland, looking for work. She found a job in a dry goods store, and to mark her new life, asked a local photographer to take her picture. The photographer liked the image so much that he displayed it in his front window. As family legend goes, Steve’s grandfather, Avram Rogowsky, passed the studio every COKIE ROBERTS day and gradually fell in love with the STEVEN ROBERTS girl in the photo. They eventually met, agreed to be married and moved to America — where their first child, Steve’s dad Will, was born 97 years ago this month. Miriam became lifelong friends with the daughter of the shopkeeper who gave her a job. And just a few months ago, the grandson of that woman contacted Steve with a message: “I was going through a batch of family photos. I found the original picture your grandfather saw in that window. I’ll send it to you.” And so at Thanksgiving, we passed around the photo and told two of Miriam’s great-great-grandchildren the story of where it came from. Where they came from. Stories have always played an essential part in family life, especially at this time of year, around the holidays. But it turns out that trading tales has a larger and more vital purpose than filling the time between watching football and making dinner. Bruce Feiler, who writes the “This Life” column for The New York Times, examined the scientific literature about family cohesion — psychology, sociology, even neurology — and summarized his findings earlier this year: “After a while, a surprising theme emerged. The single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: Develop a strong family narrative.” Feiler focused on the work of two Emory University researchers, Marshall Duke and Robyn Fivush. In the late ’90s they interviewed 48 families, taped their dinner table conversations and then subjected their children to a battery of psychological tests. “The more children knew about their family’s history,” Feiler wrote, “the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem and the more successfully they believed their families functioned.” After 9/11, the researchers returned to the families and asked more questions. “Once again,” Duke told Feiler, “the ones who knew more about their families proved to be more resilient, meaning they could moderate the effects of stress.” The sources of that strength “have to do

KPC videos feature holiday events The Christmas season began on kpcnews. com this past week as videos related to several holiday events were posted on the site. Highlights from the Downtown Auburn Business Association’s 11th annual downtown Christmas Parade, which took place Nov. 26, are included in an online video. This week’s Neighbors feature profiled Joe Peters of Angola, who will conduct the third community performance of “Messiah” at 7 p.m. today at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Angola. A video including an interview with Peters and clips from a choir rehearsal is at kpcnews.com. A regular part of the holiday season is East Noble Theatre’s fall musical. This year’s production is “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” with the final performance at 2 p.m. today on the Munk Stage at East Noble High School. A video including several musical selections and interviews with director Craig Munk and lead actors Jonathon Kane and Josh Ogle was posted Tuesday at kpcnews.com.

Online reader FreeWorldOrder took issue with references to the camouflage clothing worn by a man arrested with a rifle near Eastside High School on Tuesday, commenting: “I don’t think the camo part really tells what a person’s intent may or may not be. Just because someone is wearing camo with or without a weapon, doesn’t mean they are ready to go ‘Rambo’ on society. Many people wear camo because they LIKE it.”
A recent story about two black Angus cows seen wandering untended in DeKalb County brought comments from Facebook fans of KPC Media Group. Merle Holden posted, “With the price of cows you would sure think someone would be claiming them!” while Sherry Wilson replied, “I know I’d take them if I could.” JAMES TEW (“james_t” on The Fence Post) is online editor for KPC Media Group.

• with a child’s sense of being part of a larger family,” says Duke. Or as Feiler put it, “They know they belong to something bigger than themselves.” In an essay for The Huffington Post, Duke added a critical and fascinating point: The content of family stories is not as important as the process of telling them. “In order to hear family stories,” he wrote, “people need to sit down with one another and not be distracted. Some people have to talk and some have to listen. The stories need to be told over and over and the times of sitting together need to be multiple and occur over many years.” We know the truth of those words firsthand. Our six grandchildren want to hear the same family stories “over and over.” They relish the idea that “they belong to something bigger than themselves.” Some years ago Steve wrote a memoir, “My Fathers’ Houses,” which includes the story of how his grandparents met and other family narratives. The New York Times review of the book said it read like “a bedtime story for the Robertses’ grandkids.” And they did not mean that as a compliment. Steve’s reaction was: Guilty as charged. That’s exactly what I did. But how is that a problem? Now, as a teacher of young writers at George Washington University, Steve encourages his students to mine their own families for material. For one thing, he tells them, your grandmother never says “no comment.” More seriously, he knows that students will be engaged and energized by what they learn. Every family has stories worth remembering and recording. And since every cellphone is now a tape recorder and a video camera, preserving the past is easier than ever. So a suggestion: This holiday season, share your family stories, even the sad and scary ones. You’ll be giving the younger generations a priceless gift — their own history. Their own identity. That’s a lot more enduring than the latest Xbox. COKIE ROBERTS AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS are columnists for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. They can be contacted at stevecokie@gmail.com.

Pearl Harbor survivors watch a vintage World War II airplane fly over Pearl Harbor at a ceremony commem-

Pearl Harbor ceremony marks bombing anniversary PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — About 50 survivors of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor paused Saturday at the site to honor those killed and remember the moment that plunged the U.S. into World War II. Alvis Taylor, 90, was serving as an Army medic when the attack began. His superiors, who were doctors, rushed to hospitals to care for the wounded and left him in charge. He went to Pearl Harbor, about 18 miles south of his Army post at Schofield Barracks, with dozens of ambulances. “I remember everything that happened that day,” Taylor said grimly. A crowd of about 2,500 joined the survivors at Pearl Harbor to honor those killed and those who fired back, rescued the burned and went on to serve during the war. Roughly 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers were killed at Pearl Harbor and other military installations on the island of Oahu in the Dec. 7, 1941, attack. Taylor, who lives in Davenport, Iowa, decided

Pearl Harbor survivor John “Jack” Garrett of Rome City rides in a Jeep in the Kendallville Christmas Parade Saturday. Garrett was aboard the heavy cruise, USS St. Louis on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor. His ship received minor damage and moved out to safer waters. After repairs, the St. Louis, and Garrett, engaged in most of the major naval battles until the end of World War II. The capstone to his service was to be in Tokyo harbor on board his ship when the Japanese delegation surrendered to the Allied powers.

vania at the time of the attack, said they’re “in the twilight years.” “I come back to be with my comrades — meet the ones who are still alive, and we’re going fast,” said Walling, who is 92 and lives near Sacramento, Calif. The crowd observed a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the minute the bombing began 72 years ago. A vintage World War II-era airplane — a 1944 North American SNJ-5B — flew overhead to break the silence. The Navy and National Park Service co-hosted the ceremony, which was open to the public. The current U.S. Pacific Fleet commander, Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., said the U.S. remembers Pearl Harbor and is vigilant. “The United States is and will remain a Pacific power. But we also remember the warning from those who survived Pearl Harbor, and we are increasing our vigilance accordingly,” Harris said. “Today, we are focused as we listen for the sound of the alarms.”
center. While the decision to donate one of her two kidneys to her son was not done lightly, it wasn’t a hard choice to make, she said before the operation. “There was never a question in my mind that I would go through the process of being screened to be a donor, after hearing the doctors describe the serious nature of his condition and how much better his prognosis would be with a live donor,” she said. “Without a live donor, we were told he would likely wait four to five years on the transplant list for a kidney. He was already on dialysis, so time was a critical factor,” she added. Robinson and his parents have known since he was a child that he might end up being a candidate for a kidney transplant. “My kidneys failed when I was 4 years old, and I had hemolitic uremic syndrome (HUS) from an eColi infection,” he said last week before entering the hospital. “I was in the hospital for five weeks and recovered. I always knew at some point I’d be revisiting the problem, I guess I just thought I had a few more years.” Robinson was living in Seattle when his condition took a turn for the worse, less than a year ago. Doctors in Seattle didn’t waste much time in admitting him to the hospital for tests. “About a month before I was admitted to the hospital, I started noticing small changes,” he recalled. “There was a lot of change happening in my life, so I chalked it all up to stress. I was working three jobs, had an internship, and had just moved into a new living

When I was diagnosed, I moved back to Indiana (where he grew up) to stay with family while going through treatment and getting listed for transplant.” Faith guided Robinson and Kaiser, along with her husband and Brad’s stepfather, the Rev. Byron Kaiser of Ligonier United Methodist Church, through the processes that led to Friday’s operations. In addition to being an ordained minister, Candy Kaiser is a registered nurse, specializing in hospice care for Goshen Home Care and Hospice. “My faith is a factor in every decision I make,” Candy Kaiser said last week, “and this one is no different. My faith tells me that God wants me to do what I can to help others. I believe that both of my sons are gifts from God, and were given to me to care for. “Now that they are adults, they don’t require the care they did when they were young, of course. But, now one of my sons is in need of a kidney, and I am blessed with
two healthy ones. With all of this in mind, the decision was made prayerfully, but it was an easy decision.” The screening process for her to become a donor took months. First there was a phone interview, then blood tests. After that came more lab tests, an EKG, mammogram, cardiac stress test, chest X-ray and a complete physical exam for the potential donor. After all of those cleared, Kaiser went to Indianapolis for a CT scan of her kidneys, as well as evaluations by a nephrologist and a transplant psychologist. Both Robinson and Kaiser know they were lucky to be matched, but that’s not uncommon between a parent and child. Many people have to wait years to find a suitable donor. Robinson said many people stepped up to be tested as possible donors for him, and that was more cause for reflection. “I am very lucky to be getting this operation,” he said. “I can’t put into words what it feels like to know you have so much support, and to have it coming from family is really special. It has only been seven months since I was admitted to UW Hospital in Seattle. “Many of the dialysis

Some have expressed surprise that Newman would take the risk of visiting North Korea given his association with their group, which is still remembered with keen hatred in the North. Others were amazed that Pyongyang still considered Newman a threat. “As you can imagine this has been a very difficult ordeal for us as a family, and particularly for him,” Newman’s son Jeff Newman said in a statement read outside his home in Pasadena Friday night, adding that they will say more about this unusual journey after Newman has rested.

South Korean guerrillas who had worked with Newman and fought behind enemy lines during the war disputed some of the details. North Korea cited Newman’s age and medical condition in allowing him to leave the country. Barbara Ingram, a friend and neighbor of Newman’s at the senior citizen complex where they live said residents broke into applause when news of Newman’s release was announced Friday during lunch. “A great cheer went up,” Ingram said. “We are all so very relieved and grateful.” Newman’s detention highlighted the extreme sensitivity with which Pyongyang views the war, which ended without a formal peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula still technically in a state of war. The conflict is a regular focus of North Korean propaganda and media, which accuse Pyongyang’s wartime enemies Washington and Seoul of carrying on the fighting by continuing to push for the North’s overthrow. The televised statement read last month by Newman said he was attempting to meet surviving guerrilla fighters he had trained during the conflict so he could reconnect them with their wartime colleagues living in South Korea and that he had criticized the North during his recent trip. Members of the former South Korean guerrilla group said in an interview last week with The Associated Press that Newman

People should not celebrate until they have their policies in hand, he said. Roark said anyone forced to make or considering a health insurance change should keep three things in mind: • Does the person qualify for a subsidy based on income? • Is the doctor or hospital the person uses included in the insurance that is being considered? Roark said for Affordable Care Act policies, popular carrier PHP does not cover hospitals in the Parkview network, and Anthem Blue Cross does not cover hospitals in the Lutheran network. • Does the plan being considered require the person to pay 100 percent for prescriptions until the deductible is met? Roark cautioned people against waiting to sign up for health care insurance through the government until they are diagnosed with a serious ailment or are injured. The enrollment period closes March 31, 2014, Roark said, and those without insurance at that point might be stuck with paying all their medical bills on their own. People who delay getting insured until after the first of the year also may be in for a surprise, Roark said. A person who signs up before Jan. 16, 2014, will be covered beginning Feb. 1, 2014, he said. Those who sign up on or after Jan. 16, 2014, won’t receive coverage until March 1, 2014.

Mandela leaves a waning number of global figures representing freedom and resilience against oppression — and a changing world that makes it harder for anyone to approach Mandela’s iconic power.
Mandela has few heirs as symbols of freedom BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The passing of Nelson Mandela leaves a waning number of global figures representing freedom and resilience against oppression — and a changing world that makes it harder for anyone to approach Mandela’s iconic power. There are a few whose trials have made them symbols of freedom, including the former political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar, the Dalai Lama and, more recently, Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl turned women’s rights activist . But Mandela, the black revolutionary who emerged from 27 years in prison to embrace his white oppressors and lead a new South Africa, may be one of the last of a breed for all sorts of reasons — including the circumstances of his heroism, his extraordinary success and the onset of an age when heroes’ foibles are often exposed. “He lived and worked in a context and historical period where his extraordinary individual qualities could help make change in his country and ripple throughout the world,� said Daniel Calengaret, executive vice president of the Freedom House, a watchdog group working to expand freedom around the world. “It’s hard to think of someone who was both an iconic dissident figure and was actually central to building a new system,� Calengaret said. Mandela is often mentioned in the same breath as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., who also changed nations through nonviolence. Yet
Gandhi and King were killed before their dreams were realized. Suu Kyi, the Myanmar pro-democracy leader, was imprisoned by the military regime for 15 years before she was released and won a parliamentary seat. Yet she battles in a political arena lacking the stark racism of South African apartheid, which deprived the black majority of equal rights. Mandela “She stands for the end of a dictatorship, not the end of a racial system,� said Dores Cruz, a University of Denver anthropology professor. Cruz said that the dismantling of communism by the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is comparable to Mandela ending apartheid. But Gorbachev did not suffer personal persecution to do it. She noted that Mandela’s image was carefully constructed for political purposes in pre-Internet South Africa, then burnished over the years by international media, musicians and Hollywood. “The impact that has had on the historical imagination, you probably won’t find that in anybody,� Cruz said. “No one has the same iconic image or same historical status.� The Dalai Lama, a Buddhist figure seeking the nonviolent restoration of Tibet’s independence from China, has lived in exile for more than 60 years. And there is an ethnic or racial aspect to the Tibetan struggle, as China seeks
to wipe out its traditional culture and replace it with that of the Han Chinese. “Like Mandela, the Dalai Lama represents the decades-long suffering of his people. And he articulates a peaceful possibility in response to violence and aggression,� said William Edelglass, a Marlboro College philosophy professor. “Like Mandela, he inspires us to the better angels of our nature,� Edelglass said. “He reminds us of how we really want to be.� But at age 78, with China firmly in control, the Dalai Lama is unlikely to see a free Tibet. And his Buddhist religion sets him apart from Mandela, who enjoyed a type of secular sainthood that transcended religious divides. Malala, the 16-year-old Pakistani girl, achieved global prominence last year when the Taliban tried to kill her for advocating the equality and education of women. After Mandela’s death, she called him “my leader.� In the past, other politicians suffered to reform oppressive regimes — Lech Walesa in Poland or Vaclav Havel in Czechoslovakia. But the peak of their careers came at the moment when the old regime crumbled, Calingaret observed. “In a sense Mandela’s greatest achievements were as president,� he said. “He was on top, he could do anything he wanted, and he chose to push for reconciliation and inclusiveness.� He had his share of flaws, including infidelity and a past embrace of violence, but they were overlooked.

East Noble tops New Haven, 79-41
DeKalb wins 62-26 in play at Bellmont

KENDALLVILLE – New Haven girls basketball coach Shawn Shearer came out of the visitors locker room after his team’s 79-41 loss to host East Noble Saturday night and shrugged his shoulders. It was one of those nights. The Knights commanded their post and that of the Bulldogs, to boot, outrebounding New Haven 50-17 while 6-foot-1 tower Kavan Edwards scored 25 points in the win. East Noble improved to 4-1 (1-0 Northeast Hoosier Conference). The Bulldogs fell to 3-4 (0-1 NHC).
DECATUR – The DeKalb girls basketball team, coming off a three-point loss to Leo on Tuesday night, looked to rebound Saturday night in its Northeast Hoosier Conference opener against Bellmont. The Barons succeeded. They were the better team from the opening tip, leading 19-4 after the first quarter and never looking back in routing the host Squaws, 62-26. “We have goals to be right up there at the top of the conference, and of course that doesn’t happen if you don’t take care of business when you’re supposed to,” said DeKalb coach Nick David.

Scott leads Boilers in win WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Bryson Scott was given an opportunity and took full advantage of the moment. The true freshman made his first career start for Purdue and had 16 points, five assists and three steals to lead the Boilermakers to a 69-64 victory over the Eastern Michigan Eagles on Saturday. Scott made the start for Ronnie Johnson, who was serving punishment for being late to a practice. Johnson had started the first nine games of the season. “He always comes out and competes,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said of Scott. “He’s gotten frustrated at times and through frustration I think he’s made some strides by watching tape and talking to us. “But it’s hard for him. He wants to get out there and play more. Today he got an opportunity to do so and he helped us win a game.” After getting the starting nod, Scott
stepped up in a big way. Scott went 9 of 10 from the free throw line in the final 2:43 to keep the game out of reach, including Purdue’s final seven points. Scott grabbed a steal at the end of the game to keep the Eagles (5-3) from making a final push. Scott finished 10 of 13 from the line. “When I noticed that they were trying to make a comeback, I was just wanted to concentrate more and be more focused at the line,” Scott said. “If I wouldn’t have knocked them down, they would have had a chance to maybe pull one out on us.” The Boilermakers have won three straight, and there’s no downtime for Purdue. They face the Butler Bulldogs in the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis on Dec. 14. Three days later they host Maryland-Eastern Shore, and then go on the road to West Virginia before the Boilermakers open Big Ten play with Ohio State on Dec. 31.
“We have to keep getting better,” said A.J. Hammons, who finished with eight points and seven rebounds. “We just keep working on things and getting the freshman more involved and everything. But we’re not satisfied.” If there’s more from this freshman group, the Boilers could be in good shape. True freshman Kendall Stephens stepped up, too. He scored a careerhigh 13 points, including three 3-pointers, to give the Boilermakers a spark in the first half. Stephens hit a trey to start the game and later hit another to give the Boilermakers an 8-2 lead. The Eagles led just once. Karringtonn Ward, who led Eastern Michigan with 25 points and eight rebounds, hit a 3-pointer with 7:26 left in the first half to give the Eagles a 17-16 lead. The Boilermakers’ rookie class could have a bright future at Purdue.

Peterson shines as Chargers beat Blazers BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — Senior Kelsie Peterson scored 32 points to lead the West Noble Chargers to a 58-42 win over the Eastside Blazers Saturday afternoon at Butler. The Chargers improved to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Northeast Corner Conference play with the win. West Noble jumped out to a 10-0 lead as Eastside committed eight turnovers in the opening quarter. A rebound score by Eastside senior Leah Ward put the hosts on the board with 3:34 left in the first. West Noble led 14-5 after one. Peterson scored the Chargers’ first eight points of the third as the lead reached 35-18. The Blazers (0-6 overall, 0-3 in the NECC) followed with a 9-1 run. Senior Kaci Shook’s three-pointer had the hosts within 36-27 with a minute to go. It looked even better when West Noble turned the ball over, but Peterson swiped the ball and scored, giving the Chargers a 38-27 lead after three. A bucket by West Noble’s Mackenzie Cox and a three-point play by Eastside junior Maddy Minehart made it 40-30 early in the fourth, but the Chargers put the game away with eight straight points. Later, Peterson ran off six straight of her own as the lead reached 54-32. Minehart led Eastside with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Ward had nine points and Shook finished with seven. Sophomore Rebecca Schermerhorn had eight points for West Noble. Freshman Kaylie Warble

Missouri overwhelmed by third-ranked Auburn ATLANTA (AP) — If offense was the only requirement, Auburn would be a shoe-in for the BCS championship. Tre Mason rushed for 304 yards and four touchdowns, leading No. 3 Auburn to a wild 59-42 victory over No. 5 Missouri in a Southeastern Conference title game Saturday that looked more like a video game. Auburn (12-1) kept alive its hopes of playing for the national championship, though the Tigers would likely need either top-ranked Florida State or No. 2 Ohio State to lose in their conference title games, which began about the time Auburn was wrapping up the offensive shootout at the Georgia Dome. Auburn set an SEC championship game record with 677 yards, including 545 on the ground. Mason had scoring runs of 7, 3 and 1 yards before bursting up the middle on a 13-yard TD that clinched the victory with 4:22 remaining. He carried the ball a staggering 46 times, even striking a Heisman pose on a night when his long-shot candidacy got a huge boost. Auburn finally stopped Missouri on fourth-and-1 deep in its own territory, setting up Mason’s final score. Chris Davis broke up the pass, not quite as thrilling as his 109-yard return of a missed field goal to beat Alabama, but another huge play for the nation’s biggest turnaround team. Auburn, which was 3-9 a year ago and didn’t win a game in the SEC, claimed the title in its first year
under coach Gus Malzahn. The Tigers didn’t even need a dramatic finish to do it, holding Missouri scoreless in the final quarter while Mason notched two more TDs to break open a game that was close most of the way. Missouri (11-2) had its own impressive bounceback after struggling its first year in the SEC. But coach Gary Pinkel’s team was denied a quick championship in its new league after leaving the Big 12. No. 9 Baylor 30, No. 23 Texas 10 Bryce Petty threw touchdown passes on the first two drives of the second half for Baylor and the Bears won their first Big 12 title and a Fiesta Bowl berth. The final game in Baylor’s old stadium became a de facto Big 12 championship game after No. 6 Oklahoma State lost to Oklahome just before they kicked off in Waco. Baylor (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) had never even had a winning record in the Big 12 before coach Art Briles arrived six years ago. Now the Bears have their first 11-win season and their first outright title in any league since the 1980 Southwest Conference title when Mike Singletary called Floyd Casey Stadium home. Petty threw for 287 yards, with TDs to Antwan Goodley and Levi Norwood after a 3-3 halftime tie. Malcolm Brown ran for 131 yards for Texas (8-4, 7-2). Texas coach Mack Brown made joking references all week about being the only coach in
America playing for a conference championship while also shrugging off speculation that he could be replaced. Well, the intense speculation about Brown’s future is certain to increase now. No. 6 Oklahoma State 33, No. 18 Oklahoma 24 Blake Bell threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Saunders with 19 seconds left to help No. 18 Oklahoma spoil rival Oklahoma State’s Big 12 championship and BCS bowl game hopes. Bell, playing in place of an injured Trevor Knight, led the Sooners (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) on the winning 66-yard drive — going 5 of 8 for 57 yards. Eric Striker ended the game by recovering a fumble for a touchdown for Oklahoma. Desmond Roland led No. 6 Oklahoma State (10-2, 7-2) with 144 yards rushing and accounted for three touchdowns. The Cowboys, who were trying to win their second Big 12 title in three seasons, appeared to have their spot in a BCS bowl game secured when Roland scored on a 1-yard run with 1:46 left for a 24-20 lead. Bell, however, had other plans. The junior capped the drive with his touchdown pass to Saunders in the corner of the end zone of a frigid Boone Pickens Stadium. The touchdown came just five plays after Oklahoma State appeared to once again secure the win with an interception by Justin Gilbert, but the cornerback was unable to keep the ball from hitting the turf.
Grant scores 25, Notre Dame beats Delaware SOUTH BEND (AP) — Jerian Grant scored 25 points, including a pair of 15-foot jumpers in the final 95 seconds after Delaware cut the lead to one, to lead Notre Dame to an 80-75 victory over the Blue Hens on Saturday in the first round of the Gotham Classic. Trailing 68-60, the Blue Hens used a 9-2 run to cut the lead to 70-69 on a layup by Jarvis Threatt. But Grant hit the back-to-back jumpers to end a seven-minute drought by the Irish without a field goal as Notre Dame
regained control. Pat Connaughton, who had 21 points, made four free throws in the final minutes and Garrick Sherman, who added 19, made two. Notre Dame (6-2) had a 37-27 rebounding advantage over Delaware (5-4) and outscored the Blue Hens in the paint 36-24. The Blue Hens shot 54 percent in the second half, but couldn’t come up with the big shots when they needed it at the end. Threatt led the Blue Hens with 23 points and Davon Usher and Kyle Anderson
had 19 points each. Grant was 10-of-16 shooting and added four assists, while Connaughton hit 3-of-4 3-pointers, grabbed 11 rebounds and had three steals. Notre Dame used a 13-0 run late in the first half to open a 42-35 halftime lead, scored the first two baskets of the second half to open a 46-35 lead. Grant later brought the crowd to their feet with a one-handed fast-break dunk on a pass from Eric Atkins to give the Irish a 56-44 lead with 14:15 left.
Local Sports Briefs • Girls Basketball Lakewood Park earns first win AUBURN — Lakewood Park Christian won its first game of the season with a 50-41 victory over Bethany Christian on Saturday. Allison Sowle led the Panthers with 15 points and eight rebounds. Khrystyna Thompson was also in double figures with 13 points. Lakewood Park committed a season-low 15 turnovers.
Garrett keeps record spotless LEO — Kaitlin Wisel led Class 3A No. 11 Garrett with 21 points as the Railroaders improved to 8-0 on the season with a 50-37 victory at Leo Saturday night. Brandi Dawson was also in double figures with 10 points. Emily Somers and Taylor Smith both scored eight points
apiece, Drue Bodey had two points and Rachel Stafford one point to round out the scoring. Bodey also had nine rebounds, while Somers and Dawson had seven apiece. Leo won the junior varsity game, 53-21. For Garrett, Kelly Lacey had five points, Megan Newby and Bailey Sutton had four points each, Lyndsey Gibson had three points, Ally Gottfried scored two points and Amanda Stump, Sloane Robinson and Tori Baver scored one point each.
Eagles come through FREMONT — After a scoreless third period, Fremont rallied in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s NECC girls basketball game to record a 34-33 victory. Ashtin Kaminer had 14 points, six rebounds, six steals and three assists for Lakeland. Abi Thompson contributed nine points and nine rebounds.
HOOSIERS: Indiana unleashes 14-0 run in victory FROM PAGE B1
Moore had 15 points in the first half. His trey from the right corner capped an 11-2 run by UNF and cut the lead to 28-24 with about nine minutes remaining in the half. The Ospreys were never that close again. Indiana responded with a 7-0 run. Ferrell made two free throws and assisted on a 3-pointer by Hollowell before Will Sheehey added
a layup. After five straight points by UNF, Indiana unleashed another spurt of 14-0. Stanford Robinson scored five and Vonleh had four in the run, during which UNF coach Matthew Driscoll used two timeouts to little effect. The lead hit 20 for the first time when Vonleh made two free throws with 2:45 left before intermission. After Charles McRoy completed a three-point
play to make it 54-42 early in the second half, Indiana’s defense clamped down and limited the Ospreys to five points over a stretch of more than nine minutes. Reserve big men Hanner MosqueraPerea and Luke Fischer combined to score 12 straight points for the Hoosiers to push the lead to 32 with about eight minutes remaining and remove all doubt.
PHIL FRIEND
DeKalb’s Maddy Fifer is being defended by Bellmont’s Courtney Scherer in Saturday night’s Northeast Hoosier
Conference matchup. Fifer scored seven points in the 62-26 victory.
BARONS: DeKalb shows great focus in victory FROM PAGE B1
“The girls had great focus coming off of Leo. That’s the one thing I love about this group — a lot of teams can hang their head, but these seniors aren’t going to let that happen.” Senior guard Baylee Rinehart provided the spark off the bench that got the Barons (4-2, 1-0 NHC) rolling. Rinehart came in less than three minutes into the game and promptly scored six points in 90 seconds to give DeKalb an 11-2 lead. She finished the quarter with 13 points — making four consecutive field goals — to help give the Barons a 15-point advantage after eight minutes of play. “Not only Baylee, but everybody really,” David said. “Maddy Fifer, shooting the ball with confidence. Kendall Kelley had great energy (Saturday night). Brooke Leins, we never take her out of the game. “We feel like we’re the best-shaped team on the floor, and we just have to
keep pushing and try to get better at that and get easy buckets.” Rinehart finished with a game-high 19 points on 7 of 16 shooting and also added six rebounds, four assists and two steals. Brooke Leins was also in double figures with 12 points and also contributed seven rebounds, two assists and two steals. DeKalb prides itself on pressure defense, and that philosophy rang true Saturday night. The Barons forced the Squaws (0-6, 0-1, NHC) into 30 turnovers and 30 percent shooting from the field. Bellmont only hoisted 30 field goal attempts, while the Barons more than doubled that with 65 on the night. “That was one of the areas that we had on the board and talked about the last two days,” David said. “I thought we did a much better job cutting off the gaps (Saturday night), and not just reaching, but moving our body over and cutting it off.” DeKalb also showed its
dominance on the glass, swiping 44 rebounds to Bellmont’s 19. The Barons did not let up in the second quarter, scoring the first five points to lead 24-4, and scored the final six points of the half to take a 22-point lead at 32-10 into the halftime break. In the third, DeKalb used a 10-0 run — five of those points coming from Leins — to take a 48-16 lead. Skylar Ostrowski had eight points and six rebounds, and Fifer scored seven points. Rachel Ehmke reached double figures in rebounds with 10 in her first start of the season, while also scoring five points. Kelley chipped in eight rebounds. Courtney Scherer led Bellmont with nine points and six rebounds. Ryann Velez added four points. “This is a tough to place to play, I don’t care what year it is,” David said. “We came down here and took care of business. It’s good to be 4-2, 1-0 in the conference and we’ll just keep trying to move forward.”
KNIGHTS: East Noble headed the right direction FROM PAGE B1
“Our girls played really hard but the height was overwhelming us,” said Shearer. “We just couldn’t stay up with them. We played really hard and I couldn’t beat my girls up too bad, but it was one of those games that was just a very bad match-up for the way we are.” It certainly was. The head-taller Knights ruled the paint throughout the game. Their guards were able to feed Edwards and the other East Noble post players, and they went to work with turn-around lay-ins and short-range shots over much-smaller defenders. When shots rimmed out, the Knights’ players pulled down rebounds and claimed second-chance points. “When you’re that much taller in the post, you expect that, and our girls work really hard in there and did a really good job rebounding tonight,” said East Noble coach DeAnn Booth. “It was what kept us going in the first half.” Booth said she was dismayed with the Knights’ start, in which they had several empty possessions to start the game. East Noble jumped out to a 17-12 lead after the first eight minutes and extended the lead to 34-25 by halftime, largely via Edwards’ interior presence. The senior had 16 of her 25 points in the first half. By the second half, East Noble took over. The Knights scored 23 points in the third quarter and, with their reserves in, 22 points in the fourth, to pull away from

New Haven. Edwards finished with 25 points in 21 minutes, pulling down seven rebounds and adding a block. Guard Kerri Schrock added 10 points and six assists, while Chandler Jones came off the bench to score eight points and record six rebounds. “We stressed our guards to look at our post because we had them outside, so that’s what we wanted to do,” said Booth. New Haven was led by guard Haley Fox, who scored 12 points exclusively off three-point shots.
Sophomore guard Ja’Nyia Grundy added eight points for the Bulldogs. After the game, Shearer praised East Noble’s talent and said it could compete well in the conference this season. “It was hard because they were so big and they got so many second-chance points,” said Shearer. “To their credit, they’re well-coached, they took care of the basketball and I really expect them to be a sleeper in the NHC. They’re really moving in the right direction.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Woods keeps 2-shot lead on tough day at Sherwood THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Tiger Woods survived a rough round of swirling swing at Sherwood on Saturday with two birdies on his last three holes. That enabled him to salvage an even-par 72 and maintain his two-shot lead over Zach Johnson going into the final round of the World Challenge. The average score was just under 73, and everyone ran into problems somewhere along the way, particularly on the 15th, a par 3 that played to an average score of 4.17. Johnson made two double bogeys on par 3s on the back nine, and didn’t feel as though he hit a poor shot on either hole. It was simply a matter of getting the wind to cooperate. “I didn’t take myself out of it,” said Johnson, who also birdied two of the last three holes for a 72. Woods was at 11-under 205, two shots ahead of Johnson, just like he started the day. There are 18 holes to go, and Woods has a 48-5 lead worldwide when he has the outright lead going into Sunday. He has won all four times with the lead this year, and the last time he gave up a lead on Sunday was at Sherwood in 2010, when Graeme McDowell came from four shots behind and won in a playoff. Bubba Watson was within one shot of the lead briefly until a three-putt bogey on the 18th, and two late birdies by Woods. Watson had a 69 and was four shots behind. No one else was within six shots of Woods. Rory McIlroy had the low round Saturday of 68, and that included a double bogey on the par-3 15th, which was playing 193 yards from an elevated tee. Keegan Bradley and Steve Stricker each took a 7 on the par 3.
Jennings leads Pistons over Bulls, 92-75 CHICAGO (AP) — Brandon Jennings scored 33 points and the Detroit Pistons beat the short-handed Chicago Bulls 92-75 on Saturday night for their fourth consecutive victory. Andre Drummond (14 rebounds), Greg Monroe (12) and Josh Smith (10) helped Detroit to a 51-44 rebounding edge as the Pistons (10-10) stretched their road winning streak to four games dating to Nov. 24. It was Detroit’s first victory in Chicago since Feb. 24, 2006. The Pistons had lost 14 in a row at the United Center. The Bulls (8-10) shot 33 percent from the floor while playing without leading scorer Luol Deng, who was sidelined by tightness in his left calf. He is averaging 26.2 points over his last six games. Taj Gibson led Chicago with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Mike Dunleavy Jr. scored 16 and Carlos Boozer finished with 13 points. The Pistons outscored the Bulls 24-9 in the third quarter to break away from a first-half tie. Jennings made 12 of 22 shots from the floor, including a 5-for-8 performance from 3-point range. The Pistons shot 12 for 19 from beyond the arc overall. Kyle Singler scored 12 points for Detroit, and Josh Harrellson had 10. Deng is day to day. Already without star point guard Derrick Rose, the Bulls were missing their two best scorers, and it showed. After 11 points in the first quarter, Boozer didn’t score again until the final two minutes.
Gelinas’ OT goal lifts Devils over Rangers, 4-3 NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Gelinas scored a power-play goal 1:15 into overtime, and the New Jersey Devils shook off the tying goal in the closing seconds of regulation to beat the New York Rangers 4-3 on Saturday night. Gelinas one-timed a shot, off a pass from Patrik Elias, from above the right circle past Henrik Lundqvist. The goal came 13 seconds after Rangers captain Ryan Callahan high-sticked Andy Greene in the mouth. Michael Ryder put the Devils ahead 3-2 with 4:04 left in regulation, but Chris Kreider tied it on a power-play goal with 21.3 seconds left. Martin Brodeur made 21 saves for the Devils, who have won all three meetings with the Rangers this season. New Jersey earned just its third win in nine games (3-5-1). Travis Zajac lifted the Devils into a 2-all tie 5:58 into the third period. Cam Janssen also scored and Jaromir Jagr and Tim Sestito both had two assists one night after New Jersey recorded only 11 shots in a 3-1 home loss to Detroit. Brad Richards and Mats Zuccarello had goals for the Rangers, who again failed to move two games over .500 as they began a nine-game homestand. Lundqvist made 20 saves in his first home start since signing a seven-year contract extension. Zajac, in his 500th NHL game, got the Devils even when he cleaned up a rebound of a shot by Jagr and scored from in close. The Devils, with revamped line combinations and changes to the lineup, put early pressure on Lundqvist, but despite recording the first three shots, New Jersey fell behind 3:32 in. Brodeur earned the secondary assist, the 43rd of his career.

RV industry rebound felt in northern Indiana ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — The recreational vehicle business that’s a major part of northern Indiana’s economy is going strong this year. A Recreation Vehicle Industry Association report shows that RV shipments to retailers last month were up 29 percent from September and nearly 17 percent more than during October 2012. That goes along with what Thor Industries President Bob Martin has seen with his Elkhart-based company, which employs about 7,600 workers in Indiana. “Things have been positive for Thor over the last year. It’s good to see (similar numbers) for the industry as a whole,” Martin told the South Bend Tribune. Most RV manufacturers have operations in northern Indiana. Elkhart County,
just east of South Bend, saw thousands of layoffs from RV factories early in the recession, leading it to have one of the state’s highest unemployment rates for a couple years. The county’s jobless rate peaked in 2009 at 18.9 percent. It was 7.4 percent for last month. Industry leaders are optimistic about the rebound continuing. “Strong trading and significant milestones within the stock market continue to bolster the economy and consumer confidence,” said Matt Rose, director of recreational vehicles for Indiana Manufactured Housing Association, Recreation Vehicle Indiana Council Inc. The industry’s 10-month total for this year is only about 8,000 shipments behind the year-end total for 2012. And 2012 was
KENDALLVILLE — Flint & Walling Inc. is introducing a new line of City Pressure Booster Systems, Models VP05 and VP10. Both units feature
an all-in-one design consisting of motor, pressure tank and electronic controller. The company said compact design and quiet operation make the units ideal for many applications. Model VP10 was developed to boost water pressure in homes and businesses, while Model
VP05 is ideal for household lawn sprinkler and irrigation applications. The pumps have built-in, dry-run shutoff, with automatic reset functions in addition to a thermal pump sensor to guard against run dry, dead head and rapid cycling. Both units have one-inch suction and discharge.
Fast food strikes return in quest for much higher minimum wage NEW YORK (AP) — Fast-food workers and labor organizers are marching, waving signs and chanting in cities across the country Thursday amid a push for higher wages. Organizers say walkouts are planned in 100 cities, with rallies set for another 100 cities. But it’s not clear what the actual turnout will be, how many of the participants are workers and what impact they’ll have on restaurant operations. The actions would mark the largest showing yet in a push that began a year ago. At a time when there’s growing national and international attention on economic disparities, labor unions, worker advocacy groups and Democrats are hoping to build public support to raise the federal minimum wage of $7.25, or about $15,000 a year for full-time work.
Protesters are calling for pay of $15 an hour, but the figure is seen more as a rallying point than a near-term possibility. In New York City, about 100 protesters blew whistles and beat drums while marching into a McDonald’s at around 6:30 a.m.; one startled customer grabbed his food and fled as they flooded the restaurant, while another didn’t look up from eating and reading amid their chants of “We can’t survive on $7.25!” Community leaders took turns giving speeches for about 15 minutes until the police arrived and ordered protesters out of the store. The crowd continued to demonstrate outside for about 45 minutes. A McDonald’s manager declined to be interviewed and asked that the handful of customers in the store not be bothered.

the third straight year of beating previous-year shipment numbers. Martin said he believed RV sales were expanding beyond the industry’s base among baby boomers, with younger generations becoming more frequent buyers. “We are still looking at an industry that the economics have improved every year since the recession,” he said. Martin said he doesn’t expect big sales spikes coming other than in motor homes. But sales of towable trailers have been returning to prerecession levels and could still have incremental growth. “We are all very thankful for the recovery,” he said. “It was a trying time for everybody and we are blessed that the customers are loyal to the RV industry and the Owners of Castle One Realty stand lifestyle.”

In Detroit, about 50 demonstrators turned out for a pre-dawn rally in front of a McDonald’s. A handful of employees walked off the job, but the restaurant stayed open as a manager and other employees worked the front counter and drive-thru window. Julius Waters, a 29-year-old McDonald’s maintenance worker who was among the protesters, said it’s hard making ends meet on his wage of $7.40 an hour. “I need a better wage for myself, because, right now, I’m relying on aid, and $7.40 is not able to help me maintain taking care of my son. I’m a single parent,” Waters said. In Atlanta, about 40 demonstrators rallied at a Burger King; another demonstration was planned later in the day.

However, population decline is hardly the route to a more vital community. LaGrange County demonstrates healthy growth. In 2012, this northern county, which depends heavily on manufacturing jobs in Elkhart County, ranked second in both PCPI and PI growth, with slow POP growth. Jennings County ranked first among the state’s counties in both PCPI and PI growth, but saw its POP drop during the year. Fast POP growth has a depressing effect on a PCPI increase. Johnson County, for example, had its 6-percent growth in PI become 4.7-percent growth in PCPI because of its 1.2-percent POP growth. Ideally, a community wants to see its PCPI grow because its personal income is growing faster than its population. Indiana’s favorable PCPI growth must be evaluated recognizing that 60 percent of our counties are losing population and that growth of personal income, like the growth of population, is becoming more and more concentrated. MORTON J. MARCUS is an independent economist, speaker and writer formerly with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

COACH OF THE YEAR NATHAN TOLES, East Noble Toles took East Noble one step closer to its ultimate goal: a regional championship. The Knights began their quest with 5-0 victories over Central Noble and West Noble in sectional contests to reach the finals, where the Knights beat Westview 4-1. After wrapping up EN’s sixth consecutive title, Toles led his team into the Concord Regional, where the Knights defeated Northeast Corner Conference regular season champ Fairfield 3-2 to reach the final. The team’s tremendous late-season run ended in 4-1 loss to Concord in the championship match. East Noble finished the season at 14-5.

New Movie Experience

“How the West Was Won” was one of the signature films made for Cinerama.
Widescreen projection movies at the Strand Theater using the method developed in the ’50s the first Saturday of every month “We were about 10 weeks, trying to figure how the dickens we could get a screen wide enough.” Larry Wells On transforming the Strand Theater to fit Cinerama films

BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
A
collosal cinema experience is being offered at the Strand Theater on Public Square in Angola. Cinerama, a widescreen projection method developed in the 1950s, is being played the first Saturday of each month on an adapted screen at the Strand. “Cinerama Holiday” was shown Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The next movie is on Saturday, Jan. 4, “South Seas Adventure.” The movies are free; seating is limited. Larry Wells of Montpelier, Ohio owns a set of Cinerama films, including the epic 2 1/2-hour “How the West Was Won.” Wells is a projectionist by trade, receiving his initial training at Lakeland Drive-In in Angola in 1959 from Raymond Meeks. A 1961 Fremont High School graduate, he operated the drive-in through the
summer of 1963. When it closed for the season, Wells joined the U.S. Air Force and served a four-year tour, which took him to Sault St. Marie in Michigan and Fairbanks, Alaska. In Alaska, Wells saw naturally stunning imagery — a triple rainbow as well as flashy northern lights — and found a niche as a projectionist for a time. In 1967, he returned to the Angola movie business, working at Lakeland then transferring to the Strand in 1968. He worked there until 1973 when he took a job in Hillsdale, Mich. He completed his career at Ohio Art in Bryan, Ohio, following a back injury. Cinema was always a major part of his life. “I’ve been a film collector since the ’60s,” said Wells. He vividly remembers the first time he saw a Cinerama movie at the Indiana Theater in Indianapolis in 1961 or ‘62, SEE CINERAMA, PAGE C2

CINERAMA: First such movies released on DVD 2 years ago FROM PAGE C1
“not knowing what I was going to see.” Since he was involved in the business, the employees at the Indiana gave him a sneak peak into the projection booth and showed him what chair to choose to get the best experience. “These curtains are opening up,” said Wells. “Where are they going? They just kept going.” The movie consumed the theater, providing a huge, new experience for movie watchers. “It was just stunning,” said Wells. “That was when we got stereophonic sound.” Film’s technological advances were a national spectacle, and Wells remembers school children being given class credit for attending Cinerama movies. President Dwight Eisenhower was documented in a Cinerama production; bonus material with one of the films shows the president coming out of a theater. The imagery was originally created using three, synchronized 35mm projectors and an adapted screen. The technology was later changed to one 70mm reel. When the first Cinerama movies were released two years ago on DVD, Wells snapped them up. He got copies of “This
Is Cinerama” and “Wind Jammer” — a marathon trek featuring a boat departing from Norway on a world-spanning adventure. He added to his collection, but he needed a way to recreate the panoramic experience. Working on Saturdays, Wells and a small crew created an extension to the Strand’s screen that makes it wider and deeper. “We were about 10 weeks,” said Wells, “trying to figure how the dickens we could get a screen wide enough.” They used material to extend the screen 5 feet on each side and a curtain along the bottom, making it 15 1/2 feet tall by 26 feet wide. The first showing was last winter. “Due to copyright laws you could only invite personal friends,” said Wells. For upcoming presentations, Wells and the Strand’s owner, Dana Thompson, are inviting area residents to enjoy Cinerama. The viewing is best from around 40 seats, about half the theater, so admission will be limited. A movie will be played on the first Saturday of each month at the Strand, an opportunity to take a walk back in time and get a larger-than-life movie experience.

Colorful murals of Nelson Mandela by an Indian artist adorn walls in the cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town.

South Africa’s first black president became one of the world’s most beloved statesmen when he emerged from 27 years in prison to negotiate an end to white minority rule in South Africa. His generosity of spirit made him a symbol of sacrifice and reconciliation in his country and beyond. Here is a look at how artists around the world paid tribute to Mandela during his life.

Broadway wins in live ‘Sound of Music’ NEW YORK (AP) — Whew, that was nerve-wracking, right? All those kids and staircases, pillow fights, candles and dancing. But somehow the cast and crew of NBC’s three-hour live telecast of “The Sound of Music” pulled it off Thursday night with only a trodden-on dress, some inconsistent sound levels and a flubbed few words. This was the first time in more than a half-century since a broadcast network dared to mount a full-scale musical for live TV and there seemed to be danger everywhere, making it impossible to stop watching in case one of the von Trapp kids tumbled into a fountain or a camera accidentally exploded. But it was all whiskers on kittens and warm woolen mittens, for the most part. The only real problem was the real reason most people tuned in: Carrie Underwood, an “American Idol” winner and country music star, sang well as Maria but her acting inexperience was laid bare. She had zero chemistry with her love interest and lacked any intensity or shading. Deer in headlights have emoted more. How do you solve a problem like Maria, indeed. Underwood was done no favors by being surrounded

Sophia Ann Caruso as Brigitta, Ariane Rinehart as Liesl, Michael Nigro as Friedrich, Grace Rundhaug as Marta, Carrie Underwood as Maria, Ella Watts-Gorman as Louisa, Peyton Ella as Gretl, and Joe West as Kurt, in “The Sound of Music Live!,” which aired Thursday, on NBC.
by some Broadway veterans — Christian Borle, Laura Benanti and Audra McDonald, especially — who thrive under the lights and pressure. This is what these Tony Award winners do for a living and it showed. Underwood would never have gotten through the audition process if this was a regular Broadway musical. Her co-stars overpowered her at every turn. It was like watching a Nissan Sentra try to drag race with a pack of Bugatti Veyrons. Full credit goes to Underwood for trying,
though. She was not just dancing and singing live in front of millions in a medium she is a novice at, but she also was stepping into the role made famous by Julie Andrews in the 1965 film. As if that wasn’t enough, it was also only a few hours after the death of Nelson Mandela. Theater lovers mocked her on Twitter but the only reason we got to see this Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpiece on TV was Underwood. No one is about to build a live network musical around a Broadway star, alas. Viewers who tuned in
hoping to catch the film version may have been surprised at what was broadcast from a Long Island soundstage. This show was based on the stage original, penned as a vehicle for Mary Martin, not the Andrews film. It includes several songs that were left out of the movie — “No Way to Stop It” and “How Can Love Survive” — and is darker, with more Nazis. Both have the timeless tunes “My Favorite Things,” ”Do-Re-Mi,” ”Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” ”The Sound of Music” and “Climb Every Mountain.” The directors — Tony-nominated director and choreographer Rob Ashford and Emmy-nominated “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock” director-producer Beth McCarthyMiller — used all six sets efficiently and the dozen cameras worked hard, catching close-ups as well as sweeping shots. But it was often strangely lifeless, with the crack and zing of being live rarely transmitting through the screen. It was supposed to be spectacular, appointment TV in this era of DVRs and binge watching. It’s unclear if this was the breakthrough that will start a whole new musical revolution.

Keystone Community Church seeks to reach the lost BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — Reaching, teaching and releasing — that’s the goal of Keystone Community Church in Auburn. After months of meeting bi-weekly at the Cupbearer Cafe, the Wesleyan church plant has found its home at the Westedge Mall in Auburn. The church held its first service Nov. 24. Keystone is led by Trevor Wright, a 2009 graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University, where he earned a degree in Christian Ministries. He and his wife, Marissa, and their two daughters, Savanna, 3, and Monica, 1, moved to Auburn in the fall of 2012 to plant a church for the Wesleyan denomination. The couple lived in Fairmount and often traveled by I-69 to visit family in Michigan. On their way, the Wrights
stopped in Auburn to eat at Cracker Barrel. It was during those visits that Wright saw Auburn in a different light and felt the call to plant a church. “I saw a city desperate for something,” he said. Wright discovered DeKalb County Wright had no Wesleyan church and leaders had been praying for someone to plant one for several years. The closest Wesleyan churches are Noble County — in LaOtto and Albion. Feeling a long term call to stay, the Wrights purchased a home in Auburn. They had no friends or family in the city when they moved. Wright had to be
The vision of Keystone is to multiply believers, disciples and churches. Wright said he doesn’t want to pull people established in other churches.
• intentional about getting to know people in Auburn. He joined the YMCA and tried to sign-up for softball, but missed the deadline by one day. His family visited area churches each Sunday to see “what was going on” in the community. The more he learned about the city, the more he discovered a distinct division between the classes of people. “Auburn is a bedroom community,” he said. The goal at Keystone is not to replicate ministries at area churches, but reach those who might be forgotten. “The goal is to be proactive in the community,” Wright said.
One ministry the group started was called Loads of Love, passing out food and drinks at an area laundromat. He canvassed the Westedge Trailer Park with information about church planting. Wright said he’s been given great support from area churches, providing music equipment and emotional support. Yet, he’s also encountered churches that have shunned and rejected what he’s doing. “It’s almost like they want to be competitive. … We see that the body of Christ is all the churches,” Wright said. Church planting brings a lot of stress, Wright said. “It’s all about survival and a passion for the lost. We have
to be constantly growing, transforming,” he added. The vision of Keystone is to multiply believers, disciples and churches. Wright said he doesn’t want to pull people established in other churches. He placed an ad on Craigslist seeking musicians for the worship band. A former paramedic answered the ad, saying that he felt like he could finally devote his time to ministry. Another woman who attended a group gathering said it was her first time stepping into a church in 16 years and that she might not be back, Wright said. The woman later told Wright, “I think we’re going to be here every Sunday.” As the church grows, Wright said that he hopes to plant Wesleyan churches in other cities in DeKalb County. Keystone Community Church meets at Westedge Mall at 10 a.m. each Sunday.
Church of God convention leaving Anderson for Oklahoma City HSPA INFONET
ANDERSON — For the first time in almost 100 years, Anderson will not host the annual Church of God Convention. The ministry announced Nov. 25 that Oklahoma City will be the new site for the 2014 convention and General Assembly meeting. Anderson will serve as a satellite location. Jim Lyon, the ministry’s general director, said the main reason for the move is people are not showing up. The convention grew up around an annual meeting of the Church of God’s General Assembly, the decision-making body comprised of the ministers and leaders of the various churches. For many years, the church’s former weeklong international convention drew thousands of people here, filling the campgrounds adjacent to Anderson University with recreational vehicles and campers. Over the last 10 years in particular the number of General Assembly members attending the meeting has gone down significantly. Lyon said they have been averaging only 4 percent of the 11,182 voting members of the General Assembly at the recent conventions. This is because Anderson just doesn’t have the capacity to hold that many people. Lyon said as a culture people are no longer willing to camp or stay in dormitories at Anderson University and hotels are just not readily available in this area. “Maybe part of the reason (for low attendance) is there is no place for them to stay,” Lyon said. Mary Baker-Boudissa, chief of strategic communications for the ministry, said the demographic for the Church of God has changed. The church started in northern Indiana and long remained dominant in the Midwest but has since spread out across the country. “The number of churches in the West has grown over the years,” Baker-Boudissa said. She said a third of the Church of God’s membership now reside in the western region of the country. She said this shift made it harder for people to
travel to Anderson for the convention. Lyon said of their 30 largest churches, 11 of them are near the West Coast, two are in Anderson and their biggest is in Boston. This is a move the General Assembly has been discussing for a couple of years now. They made a decision in 2012 to include a satellite location for the 2014 convention, they just didn’t realize at the time Anderson would be that location. Ultimately, they chose Oklahoma City because the church there has a facility capable of accommodating 6,000 people. They were willing to let the convention meet there free of charge. Lyon said that coupled with the central location of the city along with the massive amount of hotel rooms available for people led the assembly to choose Oklahoma City. Baker-Boudissa said they view this move as an opportunity to reach more people. “We’re trying to reach a broader audience,” she said. “Change is necessary. It can be painful but it is crucial.” Lyon agreed this is a big move for the ministry moving forward and that there are a lot of unknowns with the change of venue. “This is a huge step into uncharted territory for us,” he said. “It is a big risk, but it could open a lot of opportunities for us as well.” Because of the rich history of the Church of God and Anderson, the city was chosen as a satellite site. Baker-Boudissa said all of the events going on in Oklahoma City will be broadcast live to Anderson so people can see what is going on and join in. It is a move Lyon said he hopes will bring more members of the assembly to the meeting and convention. “We had 6 percent of the members attend last year,” he said. “If we could triple that number this year I would be ecstatic.” The 2014 convention is June 23-26. Lyon said everyone is welcome to attend the event that will feature musical guests and speakers such as Sandi Patty, Sidewalk Prophets and Anne Graham Lotz.

Church to let Christmas ‘Out of the Box’
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Giving Thanksgiving Several Albion community churches collected nonperishable food to ensure that Central Noble Food Pantry clients had a good Thanksgiving meal. The churches used reusable cloth bags to put together everything needed for a nutritious Thanksgiving meal. The only thing missing was the turkey or ham; the pantry, with the help of turkeys donated from Dexter Axel, provided those. Assisting with distribution were, from left, pantry volunteer Carolyn Stringfellow and project coordinator LeAnn Perry of Asbury United Methodist Church.
STROH — The Stroh Church of God will present the Christmas play, “An Out of the Box Christmas,” Friday and Dec. 15 at the church. The public is invited. This musical takes place at the final dress rehearsal for the Christmas pageant. The costumes finally arrive and when they are pulled “out of the box,” they are all wrong. Working together, the children come up with some unique, comical and heartfelt ways to share the Christmas message with their friends and family. After all, if God can use a donkey to speak to Balaam and a burning bush to speak to Moses, he can surely use cowboys, pirates and cheerleaders to tell his love story. The performance Friday will be at 7 p.m. Fingerfood fellowship will follow. The Dec. 15 performance will be at 10 a.m.
Congregation offers free meal CROMWELL — Calvary Lutheran Church, 111 W. Orange St., Cromwell, will host a free holiday supper for the community Dec. 18 at 5 p.m. All are invited.
News about upcoming events should by submitted by email to religion editor Bob Braley —bbraley@ kpcmedia.com — at least 2 weeks prior to the event.

In-laws-to-be Turkey salad helps use up leftovers deserve to know about bride’s past
•
DEAR ABBY: I am in my late 20s and recently became engaged to my boyfriend of more than a year. He is in his early 30s. His parents live on the other side of the country, and we see them only twice a year. We plan on visiting them for the holidays, and some friends of theirs will be throwing us a bridal shower. I was married before. I was 18 and it lasted three years. I was devastated when it ended. Am I obligated to tell them about my previous marriage? My fiance knows, of course. This is not something I like to discuss. I was raised in a very religious household where divorce is looked down upon. My fiance’s parents are not particularly religious, however. — UNCOMFORTABLE IN ST. LOUIS DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: While this may not be something you like to discuss, disclose it to your fiance’s parents before the wedding. This trip would be a good time to do it, so you can answer any questions that might arise. Tell them that it’s not something you usually talk about, but you and their son didn’t want them to think you are hiding anything. If the subject comes up in the future, tell them that it is in the past and you do not wish to discuss it further. DEAR ABBY: As a teacher, I open my doors every year to at least one student who has low self-esteem. I spend the school year searching for ways to show that child he or she has value. I feel there is no more important lesson for me to teach. These children’s parents don’t mean for this to happen. They want their children to be “perfect.” The children, though, know they aren’t perfect and feel that who they are isn’t enough. Parents, does this sound familiar? If so, then love your children as you did when they first learned to walk. Love them unconditionally when they fail and encourage them to try again. When they make a mistake, celebrate the strength it took to try. When they mess up, let them know you love them even when they aren’t at their best. Remember, feelings stay with children forever. When things get hard, allow your children to fail and to fix it themselves. Celebrate who your children are. Unconditional love is the greatest gift parents can give their children. — KATHY IN ELK GROVE, CALIF. DEAR KATHY: I’m glad you wrote. You have a wise head and a caring heart, which is an unbeatable combination in an educator. The lessons your students are learning in your classroom will influence their lives long after they are out of school.

It is Friday and everyone is home today. Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day. My sister Emma, her husband Jacob, and children, sisters Verena and Susan and daughter Elizabeth’s friend Timothy all joined us for Thanksgiving dinner. I put the turkeys in about 6 a.m. and they were ready by a little after 11 a.m. and we sat down for the meal at noon. We added an eight-foot table to our 10-foot kitchen table and put out 19 place settings. It would have been 21 if daughter Susan and her friend Mose had been there. But Susan went with her friend Mose to Charlotte to have Thanksgiving dinner with his family. I prepared an 18-pound turkey and a 21-pound turkey but had a lot leftover. On the menu besides turkey was mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing (which I had stuffed in both turkeys), mixed vegetables, corn, overnight salad, express salad, dill pickles, hot peppers, sliced cheese, homemade bread, butter, strawberry jam, cheese ball and crackers, veggies and dip, pumpkin roll, angel food cake, homemade Reese’s bars, ice cream and pumpkin, pecan and peanut butter pies. My sisters brought some of the food too so there was more than plenty. That means the next few meals should be easy. The afternoon was spent playing various board games. The day went too fast. This morning we
cleaned everything up and the girls are doing laundry now. Joe and I plan to take our horse and buggy to town after I get this written. The boys are hauling manure out to the fields. Hopefully everything will be done before noon so they can all have the afternoon free to do whatever they want. Joe ended being THE up off work all AMISH week from COOK the factory and so did daughter Lovina Eicher Elizabeth. This week went by way too fast. Thanksgiving Day is already passed. Thanksgiving is a day to remember what many blessings we have, a time to sing praises unto the Lord thanking him for all he has done, a day to spend with family and friends and make new memories, a day to remember how blessed we are to have another bountiful harvest put up for the long cold winter. Do we appreciate our blessings enough? How often we take for granted that we have plenty of food and a warm place to stay? A holiday such as Thanksgiving Day is a nice time to reflect on all

Q: My 18-month-old kicks me and hits me when I try to change his diaper. He doesn’t do this for his father or grandparents. Should I hold his legs down until he gives up or will this worsen things?

too young, he hasn’t shown certain “readiness signs,” and if you just leave him to his own JOHN devices, he’ll ROSEMOND toilet train himself. Baloney. The fact is, just as it’s much, much easier to housetrain a 4-month-old puppy than a one-year old dog, it is much, much easier to toilet train an 18-month-old human than one who’s 30 months old or older. The older the dog/child, the more difficult it will be to teach the new “trick.” The further fact is that the standard list of toileting readiness signs is bogus. As I point out in my book on toilet training, these “signs” were snatched out of thin air by certain professionals — the “pioneers” were pediatricians Ben Spock and T. Berry Brazelton — who were trying to lend an air of science to what is a relatively simple,

straightforward process. The only readiness sign a pre-1960s mom (before the toilet-babblers began babbling) paid any attention to was her own readiness to stop changing and washing diapers. Here is my one-paragraph, less than 150 words toilet training program: Purchase a toddler potty. Put it in the bathroom. Show your son how to sit on it. If you haven’t already, let him see you using the “big potty.” Toss the diapers and dress him in thin cotton underwear only (no pants when at home) so that his “stuff” goes down his legs and otherwise causes discomfort. Purchase a kitchen timer. Tell your son it’s the “potty bell.” Set it to ring every hour, on the hour. Load your son up with liquids and drink lots of water yourself. When the timer rings, tell your son it’s time for the two of you to sit on your potties. Take him into the bathroom and help him sit. Then sit yourself (when dad’s in charge and whenever your son’s around to watch, he should also sit). Make using the toilet a family affair! In

no time, your little kick-boxer should be using the potty with minimal help from you. If for whatever reason you’re not ready to toilet train, then the backup plan is to let his dad and grandparents change him as often as possible. When there’s no alternate diaper changer available, then just change him, kicking and all. Don’t say anything while doing so. Just work around his kicking as well as you can. To maintain your cool, try singing a song. May I suggest “19th Nervous Breakdown” by The Rolling Stones? I remember going through the same thing with our son, who was also our first. We used cloth diapers with him. They required pins. His struggling was cured rather quickly after a few pins accidentally pricked his skin. The old technology did have its merits.

Questionable brain information, polio cause concern A couple of my friends sent me emails about medical subjects this week. They caught my attention in very different ways. The first one started off by citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for their definition of a stroke. They said, “a brain attack occurs when a clot blocks the blood supply to the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. You can greatly reduce your risk for stroke through lifestyle changes and in some cases, medication.” That part of the message was fine. However, the author went on to tell about a small study in Israel that had nothing to do with the CDC. They were said to “have found a revolutionary way to treat brain damage.” Their statements seemed to suggest that there was a treatment for stroke involved. But the study actually involved people who had
suffered mild traumatic brain injuries, that is to say, brain injuries from accidents, not strokes. These patients were still bothered by headaches, difficulty concenDR. TERRY trating, irritability, GAFF and other cognitive impairments at the time of the study. They had 40 one-hour sessions of breathing 100 percent oxygen from a high pressure chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) five times per week over a two month period. By this method, it was thought that the oxygen might “reach deeper into the brain tissues, reviving dormant nerve cells and reactivating blood vessels.”
•
The researchers showed that the hyperbaric oxygen therapy group led to significant improvements in thinking ability and quality of life. When I read the message from my friend, I called a local hyperbaric oxygen treatment center to ask about whether they treat patients with brain injuries. I was told that the government initiated four studies on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients because of war related injuries. The first two did not show significant improvement and the third is due out soon, but is also expected to be a disappointment. When I put all of this information together, it seemed to me that the blurb that was emailed me was largely an ad for a hyperbaric oxygen company in a less than ethical way. The proposed therapy needs a lot more study with a lot better

• results before it could be said to be worth the cost. Another friend sent an email about one of America’s last iron lung survivors, Martha Ann Lillard, now 65, who says she is a living reminder that an outbreak of polio anywhere in the world is a danger everywhere. She has spent most of the past sixty years inside an 800-pound machine that helps her breathe. While I know about “iron lungs” and have even seen one at the Luckey Hospital Museum in Wolf Lake,
Indiana, I did not know that anyone was still using one. However, this lady apparently does not tolerate modern ventilators well. There may be six to eight polio survivors in the U.S. who still use iron lungs. One of the reasons that this person’s long struggle to breathe is frightening even today is that more than a dozen children have been paralyzed by a resurgence of polio in Syria. The disease had been eliminated in Syria through vaccination programs since 1999. Polio
is also back in Cameroon, where it had not been detected since 2009. America’s last outbreak of polio was in 1979. Though risk of reintroduction of the disease is low, there are growing pockets of unvaccinated children are raising concerns that it could return. After all, Syria had not had any recent cases, so they stopped vaccinating for two or three or four years and now there is an outbreak.

Fertility doctors aim to lower rate of twin births
Q&A: Common Core academic standards
BOSTON (AP) — In the five years since the “Octomom” case, big multiple births have gone way down but the twin rate has barely budged. Now fertility experts are pushing a new goal: One. A growing number of couples are attempting pregnancy with just a single embryo, helped by new ways to pick the ones most likely to succeed. New guidelines urge doctors to stress this approach. Twins aren’t always twice as nice; they have much higher risks of prematurity and serious health problems. Nearly half of all babies born with advanced fertility help are multiple births, new federal numbers show. Abigail and Ken Ernst of Oldwick, N.J., used the one-embryo approach to conceive Lucy, a daughter born in September. It “just seemed the most normal, the most natural way” to conceive and avoid a high-risk twin pregnancy, the new mom said. Not all couples feel that way, though. Some can only afford one try with in vitro fertilization, or IVF, so they insist that at least two embryos be used to boost their odds, and view twins as two for the price of one. Many patients “are telling their physicians ‘I want twins,’” said Barbara Collura, president of Resolve, a support and advocacy group. “We as a society think twins are healthy and always come out great. There’s very little reality” about the increased medical risks for babies and moms, she said. The 2009 case of a

Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards with the goal of sending high school graduates into the world ready for college or career. But they’re hardly without controversy. A look at the learning standards and the issues surrounding them: Q: What are the Common Core State Standards? A: The standards spell out the reading and math skills that students should have at each grade level, from kindergarten through high school. For example, a first-grade reader should be able to use a story’s pictures and details to describe its characters. In math, a first-grade student should be able to add and subtract, and in third grade do multiplication and division. Q:Is this a set curriculum? A: This actually isn’t a curriculum in the sense of prescribing day-by-day lessons. Schools and teachers still come up with their own lessons to teach the skills to students. Q:Weren’t there standards before? A: Yes, but they varied from state to state. Some states had very few changes to make when they shifted to Common Core, while others had to overhaul their existing plans. Q:How is Common Core different from the old standards? A: The new standards require students to think and reason more. It’s not enough to recall facts or do a math problem. Students have to explain their process. Q:What states have not adopted these standards? A: The only states that have not adopted the standards are Alaska, Texas, Nebraska and Virginia. Minnesota has adopted only the English standards. Q:Does this mean those states are saying they want lower-caliber schools? A: Not necessarily. In some states, the political opposition to anything from outside the state is intense. Others, such as Virginia, had recently reviewed their standards and decided to keep them in place. Q:Who wrote these standards? A: The National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers developed the standards with help from teachers, parents and experts.

Ken Ernst, left, and his wife Abigail Ernst, right, pose for The Associated Press Nov. 21, with their 2-month-old daughter, Lucy, in their Oldwick, N.J. home. The couple conceived Lucy by using only one embryo through in vitro fertilization. With nearly half of all babies born using advanced fertility help being multiple births, doctors are now urging more couples to attempt pregnancy with just a single embryo.
California woman who had octuplets using IVF focused attention on the issue of big multiple births, and the numbers have dropped, except for twins. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s most recent numbers show that 46 percent of IVF babies are multiples— mostly twins —and 37 percent are born premature. By comparison, only 3 percent of babies born without fertility help are twins and about 12 percent are preterm.
It’s mostly an American problem — some European countries that pay for fertility treatments require using one embryo at a time. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine is trying to make it the norm in the U.S., too. Its guidelines, updated earlier this year, say that for women with reasonable medical odds of success, those under 35 should be offered single embryo transfer and no more than two at a time. The number rises with age, to two or three embryos
for women up to 40, since older women have more trouble conceiving. To add heft to the advice, the guidelines say women should be counseled on the risks of multiple births and embryo transfers and that this discussion should be noted in their medical records. “In 2014, our goal is really to minimize twins,” said Dr. Alan Copperman, medical director of Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, a Manhattan fertility clinic.
5 new things about President Obama DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press
This president can cook
WASHINGTON — The man who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is more than just another celebrity, or the famous face behind the government’s troubled health care website. Here are five new things about President Barack Obama:
Obama said the mothers of the Pakistani roommates he had in college in 1980 taught him how to cook a traditional South Asian meat dish called keema, a lentil dish known as daal “and other very good Pakistani food.” (Obama studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles from 1979-81.) .

In this June 18, file photo, US President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Sasha, left, and Malia disembark from Air Force One at the Tegel airport in Berlin.
Obama showed off his pipes when he sang the opening lines of the Al Green classic “Let’s Stay Together” at a New York fundraiser in January 2012. He apparently has had a lot of practice. Asked during an interview on BET’s “106 & Park” about her husband’s unexpected turn as a balladeer, first lady Michelle Obama said he sings “all the time. Oh, yes, he’s in the bathroom all the time just singing. He is always willing to sing.
Broke his nose playing basketball An avid basketball fan, Obama got a busted lip, and 12 stitches, playing basketball the day after Thanksgiving in 2010. He revealed the past broken nose while arguing that his health care law has made the monthly cost of insurance so cheap that young adults who often feel immune to illness or injury should buy a policy to protect themselves. “I kind of remember when I was
in my 20s and early 30s I thought I was invincible, but it turns out I broke my nose playing basketball,” he told the Fusion television network in an interview. “There were times where I had unexpected illnesses or accidents, and making sure that you’ve got coverage insures that you’re not ending up paying out of pocket thousands of dollars that you may not have.”

‘The Sound of Music Live’ not one of my ‘Favorite Things’ “The Sound of Music,” the 1965 movie classic starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, is one of my all-time favorite movies. But, even so, I have no problem with the of a JENNY idea remake, KOBIELA- whether it’s on big MONDOR the screen or a smaller one. What I do have a problem with is the excruciatingly bad live version aired on NBC on Thursday night. Everybody knows the story — in the 1930s, just before the Anschluss, nun Maria (Carrie Underwood) gets an assignment from the Mother Abbess (Audra McDonald) to go serve as governess to the children of widowed Austrian naval hero Captain Georg Von Trapp (Stephen Moyer). I doubt there are many people in America who haven’t seen the film version at least once. The story is not the most dynamic or dramatic, despite the fact that it ends with Nazis hunting down the Von Trapp family, but it’s a sweet, chipper, family-friendly tale, with a huge nostalgia factor that covers over any plot problems. However, this version of “The Sound of Music” was poorly executed to a degree that I didn’t think was possible for a national television broadcast. I didn’t have high hopes

• anyway, after seeing the cheesy advertisements with Carrie Underwood grinning in a dirndl and Heidi hair, and after realizing that I had never heard anything about Stephen Moyer being able to sing, but the broadcast was worse than I had expected. I can get over the technical problems of having a live broadcast of a musical. Yes, the lighting was strange, the microphones were hissing and the whole thing seemed weirdly claustrophobic, due to the constraints of filming on a soundstage. If I were NBC, I would never attempt a live broadcast of a musical again, unless they were doing a straight broadcast of a musical being performed on a stage in an auditorium. The marriage of Broadway musical and television was not a happy one. But, for a one-off movie, I can get over the flaws. But I cannot get over the bad acting and bad singing. The most egregious offenders were the two leads. Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice, of course, and she did a fine job belting out the classic “Sound of Music”

Even worse, though, was Underwood’s excruciating attempt at acting. I didn’t expect that she was going to be fantastic, but Underwood was positively wooden. I can forgive a lot of vocal issues in a musical, but I can’t forgive that acting performance. Even though I’m fairly forgiving of vocal issues, though, I couldn’t help but notice that Stephen Moyer really can’t sing.
Mandela film shifts from tribute to eulogy NEW YORK (AP) — With the passing of Nelson Mandela, the sweeping biopic “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” transforms in the midst of its theatrical release from a living tribute to a big-screen eulogy. The South African revolutionary and former president, who died Thursday at the age of 95, has long been a compelling figure for movies — a hero of uncommon dignity whose dramatic story and titanic accomplishments insured his tale would be told often in film. But arguably the fullest movie portrait of Mandela’s life — a film made with his permission and his family’s support — was released just six days before his death. News of Mandela’s death broke as “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” played during its London premiere, where Mandela’s daughters Zindzi and Zenani were in attendance. A spokesman with the film said the daughters requested that the film continue, though they immediately left the theater. Producer Anant Singh, who has spent more than a decade trying to get the film made, called for a moment of silence at the film’s end. “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” opened in a limited release of four theaters in the U.S. last
Friday. When the film opens wide on Christmas, it’s sure to draw larger crowds moved to remember Mandela. The Weinstein Co.’s challenge is to not appear to be capitalizing on Mandela’s passing, but celebrating his life. A publicist for the Weinstein Co. said the film’s release schedule won’t be changed, but declined to say if the movie’s marketing would be altered. Harvey Weinstein, the co-chairman of the Weinstein Co., is renowned for his promotional gusto. He’s pushing the film for awards recognition, which hasn’t yet developed in early prizes. But sentiment could flow toward “Mandela: Long Ride to Freedom” following Mandela’s death as voting for the Oscars, Golden Globes and other awards kicks in over the next two months. “One of the privileges of making movies is having the opportunity to immortalize those who have made a profound impact on humanity,” Weinstein said in a statement. “We count ourselves unspeakably fortunate to have been immersed in Nelson Mandela’s story and legacy. It’s been an honor to have been granted such proximity to a man who
This was Russell-Crowein-“Les Mis” levels of weakness in the voice. At least Crowe, though, could make up for his voice with great acting. Moyer seemed completely out of his element. He resorted to what I think was stage acting for most of the scenes. It’s not surprising, since he started out his acting career on stage, but the way actors perform on stage is full of exagerrated movements and facial expressions, which looks incredibly weird on television or in movies. There were some bright spots in “The Sound of Music Live,” especially

the performance by Audra McDonald, who played the Mother Abbess, and Laura Benati as Captain Von Trapp’s love interest, Elsa Schrader. They took it over the top sometimes, too, but since they weren’t the leads, it wasn’t nearly as uncomfortable. I really wanted to be pleasantly surprised by “The Sound of Music Live.” I’m a big fan of musicals, and I would love to see more on the big screen and on TV. But this was a misfire in a big way. The only redemption? Getting the bad taste out of my mouth from this debacle gives

will go down as one of history’s greatest freedom fighters and advocates for justice.” Mandela has been played by Danny Glover in the 1987 TV film “Mandela” (it aired while Mandela was still imprisoned), Sidney Poitier in the 1997 TV film “Mandela and De Klerk,” Dennis Haysbert in 2007’s “Goodbye Bafana,” Morgan Freeman in 2009’s “Invictus” and Terrence Howard in the recently released “Winnie Mandela.” Idris Elba stars as Mandela in British director Justin Chadwick’s “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,” a traditional biopic that emphasizes a young, forceful Mandela. On first seeing Elba, whose frame is considerably larger than Mandela’s, in a scene from the film, Singh has said Mandela remarked, “Is that me?” With Mandela ailing in recent years, Elba was unable to meet with him. “I only feel honored to be associated with him,” the actor said in a statement. The film has screened for dignitaries around the world, including for President Barack Obama in the White House. It’s already a hit in South Africa, where it set a box-office debut record, earning $427,000 in its opening week.

NEW YORK (AP) — No bride has ever asked designer Mark Badgley, half of the Badgley Mischka duo, about incorporating a cold-weather look into her wedding ensemble. Coats and boots just aren’t the stuff of fantasy wedding dreams, he says. Reality sometimes doesn’t set in until months later, when the forecast is real. Ideally, though, it should be part of the initial conversation, and certainly by the first fitting, Badgley says, because being prepared for the weather affects other decisions. “I’d suggest making sure the church or temple or wherever you are getting married has a room to get dressed in, so you don’t have to worry about getting into the place,” he adds. Afterward — for the reception, photos and the goodbye — try a cape, certain coats and fur accessories. Badgley and his partner, James Mischka, favor the cape or capelet, allowing that they won’t keep you as warm, but they’ll work with almost any dress silhouette. Carrie Goldberg, associate fashion editor for Martha Stewart Weddings, says it’s possible to find a flattering coat, although a shorter shrug would be easier to work with. The gown’s neckline and hemline dictate the outerwear, says Goldberg, and a sleeker style allows more room for a coat. A ballgown or a gown with a long train is the trickiest, but there’s a bubbling trend in ready-to-wear that works for weddings: satin evening coats. Many of these have bell sleeves and swingy trapeze shapes, both of which accommodate a lot of fabric underneath, but are fancy

enough because of the fabric. She’d probably choose something that isn’t white — perhaps a heathered gray, blush pink or icy blue — but white is OK, too, if it been well thought out as part of the look. In that case, the shades of the outerwear and the gown should match, but a metallic sheen or a bit of embellishment can camouflage subtle differences. Still, don’t go for too much glitz or overwhelming details on outerwear, Goldberg advises, because the focus should be on the face. It’s the same advice she’d give about the dress. Mischka worries about a full-length coat, however, because it can be bulky, covering up that gorgeous gown and jeopardizing the silhouette. Fur would be his preference since it keeps that glamorous vibe. A shawl can risk looking
a recent bridal runway look from Carolina Herrera with a detachable, reversible bolero that looks like a V-neck if you wear it one way, a boatneck if you wear it another. Both ways you get sleeves and more coverage. A short cashmere or angora texture would add delicate texture — and could be worn again on a first-year anniversary as a sentimental statement, she suggests. Also think about the photos: Are they indoor or outdoor? Or does it depend on the day? A pristine snowfall makes a beautiful backdrop, says Mischka, but you can’t count on it. If you are lucky to get that winter wonderland, his advice to brides is to put on your best Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model face, and grin and bear it. Goosebumps won’t show up in the pictures, and you’ll see the gown in all its glory.

messy, he says. And there’s certainly no way to make boots delicate. But sandals or open-toe shoes are too far to the other extreme, and risk looking silly when there’s snow. Pumps are the middle ground. Large indoor venues also can be cool in the winter. The easy fix, Badgley says, is a sophisticated long-sleeve gown, and there are many options out there now that are as romantic and sexy as a strapless. (Thank you, Duchess of Cambridge.)

Hermitage offers tours NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Hermitage is offering evening tours for the holidays. President Andrew Jackson’s home will be decorated for a Jacksonian Christmas as historical interpreters guide guests through the mansion. The after-hours tours are designed to give visitors a personal look into what Christmas would have been like for the seventh President. Guests on the night tours will learn why the Jackson family never had a Christmas tree and why firecrackers were an important part of the festivities. The tours are on Dec. 12 and 19, beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets must be

Irish hope show draws visitors LONDON (AP) — Tourism officials in Northern Ireland say they are looking at ways to capitalize on the success of HBO’s fantasy TV series ‘‘Game of Thrones.’’ Much of the “Game of Thrones” is filmed in northern Ireland, which provides a backdrop of castles and rugged coastlines for the series’ fictional land of Westeros. Northern Ireland’s enterprise minister Arlene Foster announced the tourism strategy Wednesday but gave no details.
Being a good wedding guest: some do’s and don’ts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Of Tiffany Schutt’s 250 wedding guests, one surely stood out. Not only was she not invited, but the young guest, a relative with whom the couple wasn’t particularly close, turned up in a white dress — and a short and sexy one at that. In fact, she was one of five uninvited relatives whose names were added to invited guests’ response cards. Schutt, who married in Indianapolis, was flattered but also in disbelief that they so badly wanted to attend. “We are very laid-back, thankfully, so that day I took it in stride,” she said. “It just seemed not to be the best etiquette.” When it comes to manners, experts say wedding guests do well overall but are still causing headaches on a few fronts. “The No. 1 thing that I hear about from frustrated brides is guests not RSVPing, not RSVPing on time or RSVPing for more than one person,” said Anna Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post and co-author of the upcoming new edition of “Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette” (William Morrow). “It’s all about the RSVP.” Blame it on the relaxed culture, busy lives or the hope of a better Saturday night offer, but some people just can’t get
it together to mail the response card back. And don’t get brides started on the guests who say they will attend, only to end up as no-shows. “People have gotten casual about this,” Post says. “When it comes to the wedding they think, it’s not a big deal. I’m just one person, it’ll be fine. And it’s really not. It’s a lot of money and a lot of stress for the couple.” Brides and grooms might want to add a cushion of a week or so before they have to give a headcount to the caterer or venue so they can chase people down. “The key is to keep the frustration out of your voice,” Post says. “It can’t be those sweet words with a nasty tone because that defeats the purpose of wanting to invite them in the first place. You can’t say, ‘I’m so annoyed with you, you’re uninvited.’” New York wedding planner Marcy Blum suggests adding an enclosure with the invitation listing an email address people can use to RSVP or ask questions. Brides put thought into addressing their invitations, which spell out exactly who is invited. When guests treat the RSVP card like a write-in ballot, a phone call is in order, Post said, so they understand that their date or child was not invited. Some parents don’t like

leaving their children home, but experts urge couples to resist such pressure. “Do not cave to this, because it’s completely unfair to all the guests who do find child care and respect your wishes,” Post says.
Besides RSVPs, another etiquette trouble spot is smartphones — in particular, those guests who crowd the aisle to take pictures and then post the images online before the ceremony is even over, scooping the couple’s wedding
photographer. “A bride is very particular about how she looks at her wedding, and she does not want the photo that isn’t the most possible flattering photo to be all over Facebook before she gets to look at her wedding shots,” Blum said. Photos aside, phones detract from the solemnity of the ceremony. “If you’re so busy tweeting and Instagraming, you’re not paying attention,” Blum said. “It’s almost a cosmic faux pas. People want your energy with them and focused on what they’re doing.” Blum, who has planned the nuptials for notables like LeBron James and George Soros, says couples can try to head this off by including a note in the welcome gift or on the program. The officiant or best man can make an announcement. Keeping guests from snapping away at the reception, though, may be a losing fight, Post says, though couples can ask guests to refrain from posting the photos online. “I would pick and choose your battles,” she said. “The ceremony is the right place to focus.” Other do’s and don’ts for guests: • Don’t be too informal, and avoid wearing anything that’s too sexy, too over-the-top or too white. Blum notes a
resurgence of women wearing white to weddings, and says brides don’t appreciate that on their big day in white. “For many, many years it was never an issue because etiquette was stricter all around, so people didn’t do it,” Blum said. “Now that things have loosened up a bit, that is something that brides still get very upset about.” • Some regional traditions may call for bringing the gift to the wedding, but experts say that in general they are best sent ahead of time, avoiding the possibility of theft and the hassle for the couple of hauling them home. If not, a gift should be sent within three months, Post says. • Arrive early, and stay to dance, mingle and converse at dinner. “Being social and engaged is one of the best ways to be a good guest, along with not getting too drunk, or drunk period,” Post says. • Toasts to the couples can get out of hand if guests, sometimes tipsy ones, start asking for the microphone. Proper form says guests should not speak unless they are asked or receive permission. Despite reality shows sensationalizing crazy wedding behavior, Blum says guests do seem better behaved today. “There’s something about a wedding that for the most part,” she says, “brings out the best in people.”

ven though the cooler weather has arrived, you can still enjoy mouth-watering peaches, juicy tomatoes and sweet corn — all your summer favorites — thanks to the can. Fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of their ripeness, when they’re at their best, and canned just hours after picking. The canning process, therefore, locks in their nutrients, freshness and flavor naturally, without the need for preservatives. So, they’re available and in-season all year long. Additionally, many canned fruits and vegetables have equal or more nutrients than their fresh and frozen counterparts. Canned peaches, for example are more nutritious than fresh, according to an Oregon State University study, because they have higher levels of vitamins A, C and E, as well as folate and antioxidants. These delicious recipes will allow you to enjoy the flavors of summer, no matter what time of the year it is. Remember, your favorite fruits and vegetables are only a can away.

Q. Jeff, we built a new house a few years ago and one of my children and I have had symptoms of allergies. Shouldn’t a new house help with air quality? Bobby of Angola A. Depending where you moved from and what age the house was will determine whether a new house will help air quality. Yes, houses built many years ago will not contained techniques used today to improve the air quality such as vapor barriers, water proofing and advanced heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC). As we build houses with improved air sealing and insulating techniques and make up air SQUARE exchanges and CORNERS combustion, air exchange is Jeff Deahl critical. If your builder was up to date with these practices I then would look toward how the circulating air in your home is filtered. Check to ensure your furnace filter, high efficiency and electronic air filters work well. A way to check your filter and compare is by its MERV rating indicating the higher Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value the higher the efficiency. Most pros will recommend a MERV rating higher than 11 or the use of an electronic filter. Pleated high efficiency filters have an electrostatic charge that helps trap small particles like dust, pollen and mold. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are extended filters that remove finer, sub-micron particles very well. Electronic air filters use an electrical field to trap particles but require an electrical supply. Remember efficiency will decrease as they become coated with trapped material so changing them regularly will increase performance.

Smash or screw: Collecting nutcrackers is an art My 92-year-old father collected wooden nutcrackers. He amassed a colorful collection of figural nutcrackers mainly from America, Italy and Germany. They were fun to collect and attractive to display. Dad displayed his collection of nutcrackers from the mid-1900s to the present in his home, year ‘round. He, like many of his generation, enjoyed nuts and believed that the figures brought good luck. To those of us who knew him, it made perfect sense that Dad would collect nutcrackers. Like the sentinel or guard figure nutcrackers, he is the kind of guy who, if you needed someone to protect you, would be a very good choice. An Italian bronze nutcracker dating back to the 4th century BC is one of the earliest ones known. History teaches us that Anne Boleyn received a nutcracker as a gift from King Henry VIII, too. Nutcrackers are found in many cultures spanning the globe and famous nutcrackers and nutcracker collectors sparked an interest in the history of cracking the nut. Nutcrackers use one of three basic methods to free a nut from its shell: percussion, lever or screw. The materials used to make nutcrackers run the gamut: stones, wood, metal. Nutting stones were found in North America and parts of northern Europe about 5,000-8,000 years ago. A nut would be placed in the depression of a stone and then
smashed with another stone (called the hammer stone) to reveal the nut inside the shell. Some nutcrackers are simply bowls with a central depressed area where the nut is placed and a matching hammer is used to smash. Some nutcrackers are carved from conifer (pine, cedar, spruce, etc.) and deciduous beech, ART & (linden, ash, oak, ANTIQUES boxwood, etc.) trees.

repeated use. Porcelain nutcrackers were used in high style china table settings. A famous porcelain screw nutcracker by Meissen had a brass wheel at the top that crushed down on the nut and matched the china pattern. Once the nuts were cracked, metal nut picks became necessary. Other accessories include nut bowls, fruit and nut serving spoons, nut openers used to pry open cracked nuts, and fruit knives which were small scale pocket knives used in the eating of fruits and nuts at the end of a meal. The ever popular nut bowls often came in pairs, one bowl was used for the nuts and the other held the shells after cracking. Nutcracker sets which included a pair of nutcrackers and assorted nut picks were the brain child of a 19th century dentist, Henry Quackenbush, who started out making dental tools and then found fame in nuts. From soup to nuts, the varied shaped nutcracker is a very popular collectible. DR.

Harvesting holiday greens I like to add to the festive mood of the holidays by using some of my landscape greens to decorate the outdoors. Wreaths, swags and garlands can all be made from plants that are commonly found in the home landscape. Some of the best materials to cut include balsam and douglass fir, yew, holly, boxwood, white pine and juniper. The best way to insure freshness is to cut the materials yourself. When gathering live greenery from your landscape consider carefully which branches to cut and which to leave. Make your slanted cut back to a bud, leaf or twig. If you will not be using your cuttings right away, place the stems in water. If pine branches cannot be cut from your tree or bush without leaving a big, inconspicuous hole, look for boughs at nurseries, garden centers, florists or Christmas tree sales. Give them the Christmas tree test, bend a branch, if it is brown or it breaks, buy elsewhere. Dried grasses, herbs, berries, cones and seed pods can
help add color and contrast to evergreen foliage. I like to use red twig dogwood stems and bittersweet to add festive color to my arrangements. Another go-to favorite curly KNOWLEDGE iswillow TO GROW stems. Spray paint them Karen Weiland a festive color, maybe sprinkle on a little glitter and viola’, it’s a party of stems, greens and berries in your planter box. Cut greens can be used indoors, but will dry out rather quickly if the cut ends are not in water. The cut ends of woody stems should be crushed to allow them to take up more water. Pines, firs and cedars are best to use indoors as they are slower to dry and hold their needles better in warm indoor temperatures.
•
Anti-transpirant sprays are available to help cut down on moisture loss and somewhat extend the life of your cut greens but some may leave a sticky residue and should only be used on decorations that will be used outdoors or out of reach of “little” hands. Evergreen arrangements can be a fire hazard as they age and dry so avoid placing them near a fireplace, candles or other sources of heat or flame. A homemade flame retardant of 4 tablespoons of boric acid, 9 tablespoons borax and 2 quarts of water can be sprayed on the foliage. Another recipe calls for 5 tablespoons Borax and 4 tablespoons Epsom salts in 2 quarts of water. Be aware that flame retardants are not foolproof and the best precaution is to discard arrangements before they become dry and brittle. If you have children or pets, avoid using greens with poisonous berries such as bittersweet, holly, yew, ivy and mistletoe. Here’s an idea you may like to try for “sprucing”up
your holiday tablescape. Place some fresh cranberries into a clear glass containter, filling it almost to the top. I used an antique milk bottle. Then place a variety of small evergreen twigs in the top of the container and tie a ribbon or a length of homespun cloth with the edges frayed around the neck or top of your container. I used three different kinds of evergreens for contrast. When not in use place the arrangement in the refrigerator or a cool garage to keep it fresh. Happy holidays and as always, happy gardening!

Electrical safety tips for holiday decorating METRO CREATIVE
Everyone has at least one — the house on the street that lights up in splendor around the holiday season. Decorations are in abundance both indoors and out, and just seeing the house brings on a smile. But as beautiful as it might be, that home may also be a safety risk if the decorator hasn’t followed precautions like these offered by CSA Group: Creativity is key but not at the cost of safety — Let your inner designer shine, but be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when arranging electrical items, such as lights and electronic decorations.
Be sure to turn off the electricity to the supply outlet before working with outdoor wiring, and never run an electrical cord through a doorway or under a carpet indoors. Fakes are no laughing matter — Your next door neighbor dressed up as Santa is funny. Counterfeit decorations are not so funny. Look for the mark from an accredited certification organization, such as CSA Group, on animated displays, light strings and extension cords. Ensure decorations are marked and certified for outdoor use and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep the mood light but not fiery — Choose
flame-resistant decorations and don’t place open flames or candles near flammable materials, such as wreathes, trees or paper decorations. Never nail or tack lighting strings to a wall, as this may damage insulation and create a shock or fire hazard. Use insulated fasteners rather than metal nails or tacks that could damage wiring to hold light strings in place. Cozy up — Keep warm by the fireplace but be sure your gas appliances are in good working order. If thepilot light or flame goes out, turn the gas off and wait five minutes or longer (see the manufacturer’s instructions) before attempting to
relight. Be alert for unusual odors or flames when your gas fireplace is on, often indicating that the fireplace is not operating properly. In such cases, contact your dealer or licensed technician for servicing. Overload on food, not watts — Don’t overload extension cords. Use heavy duty extension cords for high wattage decorations and large electronically-animated displays. For extreme decorators, make sure your house is capable of handling the electrical load of multiple lights and decor. If in doubt, contact a licensed professional to inspect your electrical system.
BANI Standard of the Week • Too often, undefined expectations create problems between builders and customers before, during and after their building and remodeling projects. Addressing some of the most prevalent issues, a set of Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new and remodeling homeowners a way to measure the quality of their projects against an industry-approved set of standards. These standards help eliminate problems before the project even begins.
The entire weight of a house is supported by the foundation. The foundation consists of the footing, the foundation walls, and the foundation slab. Foundation wall footings must be designed and placed to minimize settling or cracks in foundation walls. Foundation walls are usually made of poured concrete or masonry block. If there is a basement, the foundation walls serve as the basement walls.
The foundation is out of level STANDARD: As measured at the top of the foundation, no point shall be more than 1/2 inch total out of level within 20 feet, unless the owner and builder agree to intentionally build an addition to an existing structure out of level in order to match or compensate for inaccuracies in the existing structure. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder will make necessary modifications to any foundation not complying with the standards for levelness. This can be done by placing mortar, shims, or other approved fillers designed to withstand the weight of the structure under the mud sill plate or by appropriately scribing or planing the mud sill plate. DISCUSSION: Levelness is both an aesthetic and functional consideration and some degree of unevenness is to be expected. While not structurally damaging, an out of level floor can result in aesthetic or functional conditions elsewhere in the home (i.e., siding or paneling does not line up). The builder and the owner may agree to build an addition out of level in order to keep the floor of
FOUNDATIONS an addition on the same plane and the roof ridge on the same line as those of an existing, out of level structure.
The foundation is out of square STANDARD: As measured at the top of the foundation wall, the diagonal of a triangle with sides of 12 feet and 16 feet shall not be 1 inch more or 1 inch less than 20 feet. Additionally, the complete foundation shall not be out of square more than 1 inch where the longest diagonal exceeds 20 feet in length. In remodeling applications this doesn’t apply where existing walls are not straight or existing corners are not square. BUILDER’S RESPONSIBILITY: The builder will make necessary modifications to any foundation not complying with the standards for squareness to provide a satisfactory appearance. The builder may square the first floor deck by holding the sill plate “in” on one end of the foundation and “out” on the other end or cantilevering over the foundation where necessary. DISCUSSION: Squareness is typically an aesthetic consideration. The objective of the corrective measures is to effectively produce a satisfactory appearance. For more information about the Quality Assurance Builder Standards, contact the Builders Association of Northeast Indiana at 877-665-8921 for a list of builders who belong to the association and agree to adhere to the Quality Assurance Builder Standards.

Homemade decor to order with 3-D printers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Looking for that perfect light for your home office? A new chair or coffee table? You might try making it yourself, at home, with just the click of a button. Three-D printing, a novelty once reserved for science fiction, is going mainstream thanks to cheaper, more accessible technology. The printers, which now cost as little as $300, use lasers to blast out layer upon layer of plastics or other materials, forming 3-D objects. And if you don’t have the time, money or inclination to invest in a 3-D printer of your own, there are hundreds of websites selling lights, coasters, sculptures, furniture and even wallpaper crafted by 3-D printers. New York-based Shapeways, for example, allows users to make, buy or sell three-dimensional designs. Products include a delicate, twig-like egg cup for $8 and a lamp that looks like a nuclear mushroom cloud for $1,389. “We are consistently amazed by the incredible uses our customers find for these materials,” says Alex English, owner of the 3-D printing plastics retailer ProtoParadigm. Just some of the decor items you can buy or build with 3-D printing:
AP
This photo shows a Fractal.MGX coffee table by WertelOberfell, made from a brown epoxy resin from the design division of Belgium-based 3-D printing company, Materialise. It was designed after the growth patterns of trees, whose stems grow into smaller branches until becoming very dense toward the top.
Lighting Among the most popular — and dramatic — 3-D products for the home are lights, whether ceiling pendants, table lamps or floor lamps. Belgium’s .MGX by Materialise, a pioneer in 3-D printing, is known for museum-quality, futuristic designs. Among the most popular is the Bloom table lamp (about $2,600), a flower-bud inspired design with joints that you can expand or collapse to release or contain light, says marketing manager Katrien Vandenplas. Shapeways offers dozens of lamps created by some of the site’s more than 11,000 “shop owners,” or designers. The honeycomb-inspired Veroni lampshade, for instance, costs as little as $15 and comes in a variety of colors and materials ranging from the standard plastic to raw metal and steel.
AP
In this photo the Volume.MGX lamp by Dror, from the design division of Belgiumbased 3-D printing company, Materialise, expands from a flattened position to create a shape which, when lit, provides both a bright, warm glow in its center and a cooler, darker feeling around its edges. A novelty once reserved for science-fiction, 3-D printing has gone mainstream in home decor thanks to cheaper, more accessible technology.
Wall hangings Statement pieces for your walls run the gamut in the 3-D printing world. Shapeways’ ethereal “Whales” ($48) lends modern sophistication with its airy rendition of two swimming whales crafted from white plastic. They almost seem to spring off the wall. Florida-based Proton 3D Studio offers a little kitsch with a Pop Art-like plastic Pi symbol ($21) and the word “geek” crafted in orange plastic script lettering ($24). Sweden’s Kredema Design has one of the more
“off the wall” home-decor products: a three-dimensional wallpaper that rolls out away from the wall to form shelves, magazine holders and even lampshades. Made from sheets of acrylic and wallpaper, the “Off the Wall” collection is available by special order only.
Accessories From picture frames to vases and even planters, you can design or find just about anything home-related using 3-D printing technology. Shapeways recently

added glazed ceramic to its list of materials, making it possible to craft personalized plates, mugs, salt and pepper shakers, and other items for the table. Blogger and tech consultant Michael Sitver designed some personalized coasters in about 90 minutes using a 3-D CAD software called Autodesk Inventor. He printed them up at Shapeways’ website. “This is a great project for beginners,” says Sitver, of Weston, Conn. “because designing it doesn’t take too much work, but it helps beginners get acquainted
with the tools involved and the process.” He calls his new coasters a “wonderful conversation piece.”
Furniture It might sound like a tall order, but it’s possible to craft tables, chairs and other furnishings with 3-D printers as well. They’re not cheap though, at least not yet. A day bed crafted from white nylon plastic will run you nearly $20,000 on Shapeways, while .MGX by Materialise offers several
chairs, stools and tables that look more like works of art than something to sit on. They also run into the thousands. But there’s a lot that’s still possible with this burgeoning technology, especially as it gets cheaper and more accessible. “When kids are exposed to this technology, they don’t even blink an eye when something is printed,” Vandenplas says. “When they are older, 3-D printing will fit into their lives much like the Internet and smartphones fit into our lives today.”
