GOOD MORNING City gives update on snow removal ANGOLA — The city remains busy cleaning up from all the snow. Angola Mayor Dick Hickman said on the city’s website the wastewater department is working on getting snow off drains so that when the snow melts or if rain comes in this weekend, as is predicted, the water runoff will have somewhere to go. The water department is out uncovering fire hydrants. Today, the street department will continue removing the snow piles on the four Public Square quadrants. Next week they will be working on city parking lots.

Tax impact under scrutiny Business tax cut would hurt Fremont; county takes up food tax issue BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — Like other municipalities around the state, Fremont is waiting to see how the current legislative session plays out in terms of the business personal property tax and locally, a proposed food and beverage tax. Fremont Town Manager Chris Snyder said Thursday if the

business personal property tax is discontinued, as is proposed by Gov. Mike Pence, it would mean Fremont would lose almost half of its budget — 40 percent, or about $400,000. “It would affect next year’s budget,” he said, and cuts to town services would be needed. He said that kind of revenue loss would have to be re-captured somehow.

“You can’t budget for losing 40 percent. We’ll have to adjust and monitor. Stay tuned.” Snyder said the town wants to hire one additional police officer and firefighter. That kind of loss in revenue could mean the town would need to turn around and lay off those newly hired employees, he said. That property tax is on business

Pokagon snow measures up Snowfall totals varied across Steuben County from the weekend and early week storm. At Pokagon State Park, the Nature Center staff measured 13 inches of snowfall, most of which fell on Sunday. Above, Nature Center employee Lauren Hensell employs a snow blower and a shovel to clear away snow on Wednesday. Last winter Pokagon hosted a contest to guess when the large snow pile near the Nature Center would melt. There’s talk of bringing back that contest this year, but with this weekend’s forecast for rain, the snow pile of accumulated snow from plowing might not last long. While Pokagon measured 13 inches of snow from the weekend storm, Angola has received 22.3 inches officially since the start of 2014, with most of that coming on Sunday. So far, Angola has received 35 inches of snow this winter season, dating to December. The 30-year snowfall average for Angola for a winter season is 37.5 inches.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hunkering down at home rather than going to work, canceling thousands of flights and repairing burst pipes from the Midwest to the Southeast has its price. By one estimate, about $5 billion. The country may be warming up from the polar vortex, but the bone-chilling cold, snow and ice that gripped much of the country — affecting about 200 million people — brought about the biggest economic disruption delivered by the weather since Superstorm Sandy in 2012, said Evan Gold, senior vice president at Planalytics, a business weather intelligence company in suburban Philadelphia. While the impact came nowhere close to Sandy, which caused an estimated $65 billion in property damage alone, the deep freeze’s impact came from its breadth. “There’s a lot of economic activity that didn’t happen,” Gold said. “Some of that will be made up but some of it just gets lost.” Still, Gold noted his $5 billion estimate pales in comparison with an annual gross domestic product of about $15 trillion — working out to maybe one-seventh to one-eighth of one day’s production for the entire country. “It’s a small fraction of a percent, but it’s still an impact,” Gold said. Major U.S. airlines, which canceled about 20,000 flights starting last Thursday, lost anywhere from $50 million to $100 million, said Helane Becker, SEE STORM, PAGE A8

Pence has ball in Shipshe BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

SHIPSHEWANA — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence walked away from LaGrange County Thursday afternoon with an unexpected new trophy for his office. Pence was presented with a basketball autographed by Indiana high school basketball legend Bobby Plump of the 1954 state championship Milan team as well as several of the actors who appeared in the movie “Hoosiers,” based on the Milan story. The ball came as a gift from LaGrange Realtor and former LaGrange County commissioner Joy Sharp, who like Pence is a Republican. Pence, a Columbus native and admittedly a huge fan of both basketball and the movie “Hoosiers,” seemed delighted with his gift, pulling it from its box and giving the ball a quick spin atop his finger. He then told Sharp he had the perfect spot picked out to display the ball in his Statehouse office. Sharp later said she got the basketball a few years ago at a fundraising auction for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The ball

was a prized possession, but Sharp said she knew the governor would give it a good home. Pence visited Shipshewana Thursday as a guest of the LaGrange County Chamber of Commerce. The local business organization held its annual members meeting and showcase at the Shipshewana Events Center in Shipshewana. Pence was the event’s main speaker. Recent weather almost prevented Pence from making the trip north. Beth Sherman, executive director of the LaGrange Chamber of Commerce, said the winter storm that rolled across Indiana this past weekend forced Pence and his staff to deal with much of the weather’s aftermath, and forced the governor to miss several prearranged events. “I didn’t know until about 3:30 yesterday afternoon if he would make it,” Sherman said. Pence arrived at the Chamber event just before noon and quickly worked his way through the crowd, shaking hands and posing for pictures. He then sat with Sherman and her husband, LaGrange County Commissioner Jac Price, LaGrange County Sheriff Terry Martin and outgoing Chamber of Commerce SEE PENCE, PAGE A8

Mayor lauds city’s storm efforts BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Angola Mayor Dick Hickman highly lauded city residents and employees for actions during the recent snow storms and extreme cold. Hickman offered the praise during an update of the storm cleanup at Thursday’s Common Council meeting. The meeting was rescheduled from Monday night because of that extreme weather. “Every time I think our employees have reached a pinnacle — they do something else,” Hickman said. “I want to publicly congratulate our employees. I don’t think we could be prouder.” Hickman noted each

city department went above and beyond what’s expected. “The street department did outstanding work. They (logged) 167 hours plowing and 1,306 plowing miles,” he said. Hickman also reported the park and recreation and wastewater departments assisted by helping to open up drains around the city in anticipation of excess rain that’s forecasted for this weekend. Also, the parks department kept the walking trail open, something Hickman said was no easy task. Tom Selman, water superintendent, worked some 24-30 hours on ensuring water remained flowing in the city. “Tom Selman kept the towers

from freezing. He was up all Monday night,” Hickman said. Hickman singled out the fire and police departments for helping people get out of snowbanks. To make sure all the employees got paid on time, Hickman said Angola Clerk-Treasurer Deb Twitchell and Tammy Onofrietti, deputy clerk, saw to it that payroll was completed. “I want to give a pat on the back to citizens of the community. They did a good job of removing cars” for snow removal, Hickman said. If a future storm occurs of a similar magnitude, Hickman reminded everyone not to call dispatch. Emergency lines were tied up with people

calling asking if they need to go to work. “Take a deep breath after the winter storm,” Angola Police Chief Stu Hamblen said. “We red tagged over 100 vehicles and only had to tow two.” Hamblen was referring to the city’s emergency snow removal ordinance, which was in place during the entire snow event. The ordinance goes into effect when the city receives 4 or more inches of snow and residents are asked to move their vehicles for plows to get through. Hickman also asked residents to make sure fire hydrants aren’t blocked with snow. He also suggested residents keep an eye on their sump pumps, so there aren’t any flooding issues.

Bennett hires top flight defense INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Indiana Schools Superintendent Tony Bennett has hired a pair of top criminal defense attorneys to fight charges he misused state resources to campaign for office, including the lawyer who helped write some of the ethics laws Bennett is accused of violating. Larry Mackey and Jason Barclay, lawyers with the Indianapolis powerhouse firm Barnes and Thornburg, are representing Bennett before the State Ethics Commission. Barclay helped draft an overhaul of state ethics laws in 2005 while working as a lawyer for former Gov. Mitch Daniels. And Mackey built a national profile prosecuting Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh before taking over the white-collar defense arm of Barnes and Thornburg. The ethics commission not only could banish Bennett from future state work in Indiana but also could refer the case to Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry for a criminal investigation. Tasking state employees with doing political work, dubbed “ghost employment” is a minor felony punishable by up to three years in prison. Having powerhouse lawyers on his side could help reduce any punishment against Bennett, said David Orentlicher, co-director of the Hall Center for Law and Health at Indiana University’s McKinney School of Law. Barclay in particular could be valuable, he said, because he helped craft the 2005 ethics legislation that, among many other things, established the position of inspector general and rewrote parts of the code Bennett is alleged to have broken. Mackey defended politically connected developer John Bales against federal charges that he defrauded the state in a leasing scheme. A federal jury found Bales not guilty on all 13 counts last February. But the team could have trouble

defending against the actual charges Bennett faces because his violations seem clear, said Orentlicher, a former Democratic state representative who served from 2002-2008. “It’s hard to see it in this case. If it’s really true he did use state resources and staff for political purposes, that’s a pretty bright line,” he said. A hearing originally scheduled for Wednesday has been delayed until May at the request of Bennett’s legal team. Barclay noted that Inspector General David Thomas’s office had yet to share the evidence outlined in a four-page probable cause affidavit it filed. “We don’t know a lot yet because we’re still waiting on discovery from the inspector general. So one of the things he is obligated to do is turn over documents related to the investigation and that production is still incomplete,” Barclay said. “We obviously are still in the fact gathering stage and trying to understand what was the basis for these charges.” Thomas’ office declined Wednesday to release the probable cause affidavit, citing state law that keeps such records confidential. Thomas charged Bennett with misusing state resources in his failed 2012 re-election bid by using state equipment to schedule campaign activities and raise funds. The Associated Press reported in September that Republican Party fundraising lists were discovered on state computers. Emails obtained by the AP through a public records request also showed Bennett directing his staff to conduct political work. Cam Savage, a former Bennett communications director and consultant on the 2012 campaign, argued at the time that one list dubbed the Republican “Red Meat” list was only a list of elected officials for Bennett to reach out to in his official capacity. The list, however, gathered contacts for thousands of party activists and low-level donors. Another fundraising spreadsheet,

dubbed the “Big Hitter List,” included tips on how to cultivate top-tier donors. The first name on the list was Christel DeHaan, the founder of a charter school at the heart of a grade-changing scandal reported by the AP that ultimately led to Bennett’s resignation in August as Florida’s schools chief. The emails obtained by the AP also show Bennett and his staff conducting campaign work through state email and on state time, a likely violation of the state’s “ghost employment” law. Heather Neal, Bennett’s former chief of staff, discussed campaign fundraising tallies in one message and was included in weekly fundraising phone calls. Bennett has said he was not campaigning from his Statehouse office and denies any wrongdoing. Emails seeking comment sent to Bennett and Savage weren’t returned. Neal left work as Gov. Mike Pence’s chief lobbyist last August amid the grade-change scandal and took a job with Savage’s campaign firm. Bennett’s resignation in Florida and the subsequent ethics charges represent a steep fall for a national education reform star once mentioned as a potential education secretary in a future Republican White House. Bennett has since taken a job with student testing giant ACT, which is crafting a test to sell to states that have adopted the national Common Core education standards. The Bennett case is the highest-profile issue the ethics commission has taken on in recent years. Barclay said the only other prominent case he can recall is that of Scott Storms, a former Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission lawyer who had negotiated a job with Duke Energy while overseeing regulation of Duke’s proposed Edwardsport plant. Barclay would not discuss how much they are charging Bennett, but Orentlicher said talent like Mackey and Baclay could possibly run more than $500 per hour.

IPFW prof named poet laureate INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne professor will serve as the state’s poet laureate for the next two years. The Indiana Arts Commission announced the selection of George Kalamaras to the position on Wednesday. Kalamaras grew up in Cedar Lake in northwestern Indiana and has been an IPFW professor since 1990. He says he’s thrilled by the appointment, saying he sees poetry as an act of loving service — to people, to animals and the planet, and to the culture at large.

Two charged with child neglect FORT WAYNE — A man and woman are each charges after police found seven hungry and dirty children in what one officer called “deplorable conditions,” our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. Robert Boyko and Marian Clark each face seven felony charges of neglect of a dependent. Police went to a motel after getting a call at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday about unsuitable conditions at a room being rented. When they got there, police

found a van that had the children, ranging in age from a one-week-old infant to a 14-year-old, inside. Several children had no coats, no socks, and no shoes despite the 8-degree temperature at the time. An older child was zip-tied into his seat and had to be cut out. A second child also had to be cut out of zip-ties. None of the children seemed to have been bathed in days, according to police reports.

Woman charged after 5-year-old son gets frostbite FORT WAYNE (AP) — A Fort Wayne woman faces a neglect charge for frostbite injuries her 5-year-old son suffered when he got stuck in heavy snow during a trek home in bitter cold temperatures. Twenty-five-year-old Marquisha N. Whitten was charged with a preliminary count of neglect of a dependent. She is being held at the Allen County Jail on $10,000 bail. Court records say Whitten spent Monday night drinking at a residence before she and her son began walking home. Whitten lost her apartment keys during the trek and began looking for them. Court records say Whitten’s son then fell in the heavy snow and couldn’t get up, exposing him to

minus 30-degree wind chills for 10 minutes. He suffered frostbite to his hands and feet.

Man shoots woman, kills self after going on meth rage COLOMA, Mich. — Investigators believe a Coloma, Mich., man followed a methamphetamine-fueled rage by shooting a woman and then killing himself, according to news reports. The South Bend Tribune reports surviving victim Carey Burgess-Wagnon and Richard Merchant had been living together for about a year, police said. Police said BurgessWagnon told them Merchant, after taking methamphetamine, awoke in a jealous rage and accused her of having an affair. After trying to strangle her, he retrieved two handguns and paced about the home, threatening to kill her and himself, she said. Believing that BurgessWagnon had called police, Merchant fired two rounds out a bedroom window and two more through the front door even though officers at that point hadn’t been contacted, the woman said. Merchant then returned to the bedroom area and shot her in the hip, she reported. A second shot missed before Merchant shot himself.

Obama weighs future of NSA’s phone tactics

Supplies, ants on way to space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A privately launched supply ship rocketed toward the International Space Station on Thursday following a series of delays ranging from the cold to the sun. Orbital Sciences Corp. launched its unmanned Antares rocket from Wallops Island, Va., offering a view to nearby states along the East Coast. It successfully hoisted a capsule packed with 3,000 pounds of equipment and experiments provided by NASA, as well as food and even some ants for an educational project. Christmas presents also are on board for the six space station residents; the delivery is a month late. The spacecraft, named Cygnus, should reach the station on Sunday. The orbiting outpost was zooming over the Atlantic, near Brazil, when the Antares blasted off.

Fog causes pileup on Idaho interstate MERIDIAN, Idaho (AP) — Slick roads and quickly moving fog led to a pileup involving a logging truck and more than 40 other vehicles Thursday on a busy highway near Boise, injuring at least 10 people during the morning commute. Authorities said the crash happened as emergency responders tried to clear a previous wreck on Interstate 84, one of the state’s main east-west highways. Idaho State Police spokeswoman Teresa Baker said a motorist in a black Subaru tried to move to the right lane and away from the previous crash but clipped a silver Subaru. A logging truck then hit the black car, causing a chain-reaction crash in the interstate’s westbound lanes that included four other tractor trailers. Baker said 10 people were transported by ambulance to area hospitals, including the driver of the black Subaru. The man was seriously hurt and had to be extricated from his vehicle, which crushed to the point where there was little room left for him inside it. “There was just a little compartment in there, and he was in there,” Baker said. “It took them about an hour to get him out.” The man’s injuries, including a leg injury, were not considered life-threatening, she said. Authorities reopened the interstate at about 2 p.m. Baker said police were still investigating, and no citations had been issued so far.

People • Aldean partnering with MLB for tour NEW YORK (AP) — Jason Aldean is heading to the centerfield. The country star says he’s partnering with Major League Baseball to launch a 50-date stadium tour this spring. Some of the Aldean dates will be announced later Thursday. The 36-year-old said in an interview that “it doesn’t seem like that long ago we were playing little clubs.” He added that playing stadiums is “pretty overwhelming sometimes, but I love it.” Aldean’s latest album, “Night Train,” is nominated for best country album at the Jan. 26 Grammy Awards. The singer said he’s honored to be up for the prize, but added: “If we win it, we do, if we don’t, we don’t.” Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr will open Aldean’s tour.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel speaks with airmen of the 20th Air Force 90th Missile Wing during a trip to F.E. Warren Air Force Base Thursday in Cheyenne,

Wyo. It was the first time since 1982 that a defense secretary has visited the nuclear missile base.

Hagel visits missile base F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. (AP) — Hoping to boost sagging morale, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made a rare visit Thursday to an Air Force nuclear missile base and the men and women who operate and safeguard the nation’s Minuteman 3 missiles. But his attempt to cheer the troops was tempered by news that launch officers at another base had been implicated in an illegal-narcotics investigation. Two officers at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana are being investigated for allegations of drug possession, said a service spokesman in Washington, Lt. Col. Brett Ashworth. Both of those being investigated are

ICBM launch officers with responsibility for operating intercontinental ballistic missiles. The launch officers’ access to classified information has been suspended, and they have been prohibited from serving on missile launch control duty while the Air Force is investigating, another defense official said. That official provided no further details and spoke only on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly by name. At the Wyoming nuclear missile base, meanwhile, Hagel addressed officers and airmen after a series of security lapses and discipline problems that were revealed in Associ-

ated Press news stories in 2013. Officials have said the service members are increasingly tired of working in what can seem like oblivion. They win no battles, earn no combat pay and only rarely are given public credit of any kind. “You are doing something of great importance to the world,” Hagel told the group. Lest they sometimes doubt that importance, he said, “You have chosen a profession where there is no room for error — none.” He made no direct reference to the problems revealed in the past year but declared, “How you do the job is really as important as the job itself. We depend on your professionalism.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is still grappling with key decisions on the future of the National Security Agency’s phone collection program and the makeup of the secret court that approved the surveillance, congressional lawmakers said Thursday following a 90-minute meeting at the White House. Obama is expected to back tighter restrictions on foreign leader spying and also is considering a presidential commission’s recommendation to strip the NSA of its ability to store telephone records from millions of Americans. The president could announce his final decisions as early as next week. “The president and his administration are wrestling with the issues,” Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and privacy advocate, said after the meeting. “It’s fair to say that the next few weeks are going to be crunch time in terms of judgments being made in both the administration and the Congress.” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the meeting focused in particular on the telephone data program and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. He said that while Obama didn’t appear to have made a decision on either issue yet, he expects him to do so soon. The president met this week with his top intelligence advisers, many of whom oppose changes to the NSA programs, and a review group appointed by

Congress that is working on a report focused on the surveillance systems. Privacy advocates were meeting with senior White House staff Thursday afternoon, and technology companies have been invited to a meeting on Friday. The president’s decisions will test how far he is willing to go in scaling back the NSA’s broad surveillance powers. A presidential commission handed him more than 40 recommendations, many of which were more sweeping than expected. However, Obama is not obligated to accept any of the panel’s proposals. On Thursday, FBI Director James Comey told reporters he disagrees with a recommendation that would require the FISA court to approve the bureau’s use of national security letters. The letters are legal demands for information as part of an ongoing investigation, such as demanding the phone records of a suspected terrorist inside the U.S. Opponents of involving the court in that process argue that it would make it more difficult for the FBI to conduct a national security investigation than to conduct a bank fraud case. While Obama’s upcoming decision is highly-anticipated, the White House indicated it may not be his final word on the matters. Obama spokesman Jay Carney said that while Obama is likely to announce some changes he wants implemented right away, “there may be some that would require further review.”

Iraq holds off on all-out offensive against al-Qaida BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s government is holding off on waging an all-out offensive to retake two key cities from al-Qaida because of fears that civilian casualties could incite Sunni anger and push moderate tribal leaders to side with the extremists, analysts and military officials said Thursday. More violence flared in Baghdad, where a suicide bomber killed 21 people at an army recruiting center in a clear effort to demoralize the military. Al-Qaida-linked fighters overran parts of the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi in Sunni-dominated Anbar province last week, seizing control of police stations and military posts, freeing prisoners and setting up their own checkpoints. The United States, whose troops fought bloody battles in the cities, has ruled out sending its troops back in, but has been delivering missiles to bolster Iraqi forces. It is expediting

shipments of more American-made missiles and 10 surveillance drones, but those may not arrive for weeks. The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 and withdrew in 2011. Both countries tried but failed to negotiate plans to keep at least several thousand U.S. forces in Iraq beyond the deadline to maintain security. Vice President Joe Biden has spoken to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki twice this week, voicing support for his government’s efforts to regain control of the cities and urging him to continue talks with local, tribal and national leaders. Iran, too, is watching the unrest with alarm, since it shares U.S. concerns about al-Qaida-linked militants taking firmer root in its neighbor. It has offered to supply military equipment and advisers should Baghdad ask. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin,

One senior intelligence official said the reason for the delay was to avoid civilian casualties. “We have enough soldiers, but we are waiting for the American drones and missiles. These weapons will have a big role in the coming battle,” the official said.

US adjusts with fewer seriously hurt soldiers WASHINGTON (AP) — With the number of seriously wounded and ill soldiers at a six-year low, the Army is closing down some of the special units set up to care for troops and reorganizing the program. “That’s good for the Army, good for our soldiers,” Brig. Gen. David Bishop said of the declining population of severely wounded. Bishop heads the command that runs the so-called Warrior Transition Units, started in 2007 following the scandal over poor conditions at what was then Walter Reed

Army Medical Center in Washington, including shoddy housing and bureaucratic delays for troops who were outpatients. Fourteen of the 38 units will be closed and some new community-based units will be established under the reorganization plan being announced Thursday. Some 58,000 soldiers have passed through the special units since the start of the program, aimed at giving the most severely wounded, ill or injured soldiers comprehensive and coordinated medical and mental health care and

provide counseling on legal, financial and other issues as they transition either out of the service to civilian life or back to military duty. Some 49 percent eventually returned to duty in the Army, Bishop said. But the number of people who need such care has steadily fallen because of the end of U.S. presence in Iraq, the decrease in troops in Afghanistan and the fact that Afghans are taking the lead on security missions there, Pentagon officials say. The population of the Warrior Transition Units stands at 7,070 this month

compared to 10,053 in October of 2012 and more than 12,000 in 2008. Today’s population of soldiers in the special units is the smallest since the more than 6,200 in those units in September 2007, according to Army data. In Iraq, al-Qaidalinked fighters overran parts of both cities in the Sunni-dominated Anbar province last week, seizing control of police stations and military posts, freeing prisoners and setting up their own checkpoints. Anbar was a hard-won battle by U.S. troops, some

of whom ended up in Warrior Transition Units. Iraqi troops, backed by pro-government Sunni militiamen, since have been clashing with the fighters and carrying out airstrikes against their positions in an effort to reassert control of the cities. Some of the current Warrior Transition units have fewer than 10 soldiers in them and Bishop said reorganization — even with the planned startup of a dozen new community-based units — will reduce staff by some 500 people.

In this Sunday file photo, a person struggles to cross a street in blowing and falling snow as the Gateway Arch appears in the distance, in St. Louis. The deep freeze that gripped much of the nation this week wasn’t unprecedented, but with global warming we’re getting far fewer bitter cold spells, and many of us have forgotten how frigid winter used to be.

Americans becoming weather wimps As the world warms, the United States is getting fewer bitter cold spells like the one that gripped much of the nation this week. So when a deep freeze strikes, scientists say, it seems more unprecedented than it really is. An Associated Press analysis of the daily national winter temperature shows that cold extremes have happened about once every four years since 1900. Until recently. When computer models estimated that the national average daily temperature for the Lower 48 states dropped to 17.9 degrees on Monday, it was the first deep freeze of that magnitude in 17 years, according to Greg Carbin,

warning meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That is by far the longest the U.S. has gone without the national average plunging below 18 degrees, according to a database of daytime winter temperatures spanning from Jan. 13, 1997 to Monday. In the past 115 years, there have been 58 days when the national average temperature dropped below 18. Carbin said those occurrences often happen in periods that last several days so it makes more sense to talk about cold outbreaks instead of cold days, and there have been 27 distinct cold snaps.

Death In The News • Amiri Baraka dies at 79 NEW YORK (AP) — Amiri Baraka, the militant man of letters and tireless agitator whose blues-based, fist-shaking poems, plays and criticism made him a provocative and groundbreaking force in American culture, has died . He was 79. His booking agent, Celeste Bateman, told The Associated Press that Baraka, who had been hospitalized since last month, died Thursday at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. Perhaps no writer of the 1960s and ’70s was more radical or polarizing than the former LeRoi Jones, and no

one did more to extend the political debates of the civil rights era to the world of the arts. He inspired at least one generation of poets, playwrights and Baraka musicians, and his immersion in spoken word traditions and raw street language anticipated rap, hip-hop and slam poetry. The FBI feared him to the point of flattery, identifying Baraka as “the person who will probably emerge as the leader of the Pan-African movement in the United States.”

Fairview blood drive has cookies ANGOLA — Fairview Missionary Church, 525 E. C.R. 200N, is among organizations across northern Indiana hosting an American Red Cross blood drive in partnership with the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana. Cookies will be served to those who donate during special drives in January.

“The Red Cross and the Girl Scouts are two American traditions. So are Girl Scout cookies and saving lives,” said Tracy Fox, communications manager for the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “We hope that the donors enjoy this special treat from the Girl

Scouts as we work together to ensure an adequate blood supply in the communities we serve.” Blood donation appointments may be scheduled at 800-RED CROSS or redcrossblood.org. The Fairview Missionary Church blood drive will be conducted on Monday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

doctors were trained in the implementation of plant-derived methods. The modernization of drug research brought about a shift to the chemically derived medicines now produced in laboratories (although plants have always served as the basis for some of the drugs developed). Within the past several decades, the value of plants has begun to re-emerge. Not only can

we rely on them for their medicinal properties (licorice root is actually used in many common cough drops) but for dyes, soaps, waxes and gum.

BRANDY DEPRIEST is the advisor for Trine University’s S.P.E.A.K. For the Earth organization and writes her column in partnership with ACRES Land Trust.

Wayne St., Angola. • Wednesday, Jan. 22, noon to 5 p.m. at Sonlight Community Church, 455 N. Gerald Lett Ave., Angola. Donors receive a T-shirt. Two forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds may be eligible to donate blood.

State police: make driving safely one of your new resolutions INDIANAPOLIS — As the new year begins, many people resolve to improve their lives by focusing on health, finances, career goals and various other priorities. Here’s a resolution that will not just improve your life, it can also save it: Resolve to drive safely, said information from the Indiana State Police. The ISP provides the following tips for keeping safe when driving in town, on county roads or on the highways.

Buckle up Seat belt use is the

single most important factor in preventing or reducing the severity of injuries to vehicle occupants involved in a traffic crash. It takes less than two seconds to buckle up. Make it a habit.

Keep a clear head Driving while drowsy — whether due to a lack of sleep, the effect of even a small amount of alcohol, or the use of a prescription drug or over-the-counter medication — can delay reaction time, decrease concentration and reduce judgment skills. Make sure

you are alert before getting behind the wheel.

get home safely every day. Then turn your phone off.

Fine tune fundamentals

Drive without distractions

Parking, backing basics

Driving distraction-free means actively scanning the road ahead and the driving environment surrounding your vehicle, keeping your hands on the wheel and your mind on driving. Because cell phone use occurs with such frequency and duration, it’s more likely to lead to a crash than other forms of distraction. Before you drive, take a moment to think of those who are counting on you to

Parking lot incidents are typically low-speed collisions, but can still lead to property damage and injuries. Safety experts recommend backing into a parking space rather than pulling in. This way, your vehicle is facing out when it’s time to exit. If you must back out, complete a vehicle walk-around to check for children and objects. Once all is clear, make your exit promptly and cautiously as conditions may change.

Being rear-ended and rear-ending another vehicle are two of the most frequent types of crashes. To avoid these common collisions, always leave at least 3-4 seconds of distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. If the roads are wet or slippery, double your following distance. The Indiana State Police encourages all motorists to practice safe driving habits in 2014. The number of traffic crashes in Indiana can be reduced extensively.

‘Modern Family’ cast heads to Australia to film NEW YORK (AP) — Typically one sign a TV series is doing well is if there’s a budget to travel and film on location. By that definition, “Modern Family” is doing extremely well — the cast is heading across the globe. Qantas Airlines says it is partnering with the show’s production company, 20th Century Fox Television, to fly the cast to Australia next month for a two-week shoot of the ABC comedy. “Modern Family,” now in its fifth season, has aired previous vacation episodes that were filmed in Hawaii and Wyoming. In a statement, show creator Steve Levitan says: “We promise to feature a kangaroo, a koala and a boomerang.” “Modern Family” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.

NEW YORK (AP) — In “The Wolf of Wall Street,” out-of-control stock broker Jordan Belfort is initially furious when a Forbes magazine profile turns out to be a hatchet job labeling him a “twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers.” But Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is quickly schooled on the rules of publicity. The next morning his office is overrun with rabid young brokers desperately waving resumes, dying to join his merry band. The reaction to Martin Scorsese’s portrait of Wall Street excess has been comically similar. It’s been judged by some critics and moviegoers as a glorification of unchecked greed. But the movie’s bad reputation as an orgy of drugs, sex and money (not to mention a reportedly record-setting 506 F-bombs) has also drawn eager crowds. In two weeks, the film has made $63.3 million at the box office and will likely become, if not an outright hit, one of Scorsese’s highest-grossing pictures. “The Wolf of Wall Street” has turned into easily the most debated film in an award season otherwise lacking much controversy, aside from some scattered fact-bending concerns. Scorsese and DiCaprio have been on damage control in recent days, defending their film as a thought-provoking portrait of decadence run amok. Nearly every film critic and countless moviegoers have weighed in on the morality of “The Wolf of Wall Street”: whether the film enjoys Belfort’s hedonistic high a little too much, or if tapping into the thrill of self-indulgence is actually the point. “He does it because he can,” Scorsese said in a recent interview. “If you can do anything because you can, what are we as people? Can we easily fall into it? I think so.” The largest missive came when LA Weekly published an open letter by Christina McDowell, the daughter of a lawyer Belfort worked with, in which she described the hard realities of those victimized by the shady

penny stock dealings of Belfort. “Your film is a reckless attempt at continuing to pretend that these sorts of schemes are entertaining, even as the country is reeling from yet another round of Wall Street scandals,” McDowell wrote. To the critics of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” the nearly three-hour film fails to sufficiently judge the actions of its characters or depict the victims of Belfort’s recklessness. The Wall Street Journal’s Joe Morgenstern called the film a “hollow spectacle.” It should be noted, though, that the Journal’s dismissal might be considered a badge of honor for any movie about Wall Street. And since the movie is based on Belfort’s memoir, the former broker, who was convicted of fraud and served 22 months in prison, has profited from the making of the film, whether monetarily or in publicity for his motivational speaking. He also makes a brief cameo in the movie. As part of his sentence, Belfort was ordered to repay defrauded investors $110.4 million, a figure he’s unlikely to ever approach fulfilling. A portion of his income goes toward a victim compensation fund. Belfort has said he’s turning over all profits from the movie to the government. The backlash, though, may be taking indignation for Belfort, who received a relatively soft sentence after giving evidence against his colleagues, and misplacing it on the movie. In an interview, DiCaprio called the film “a biography of a scumbag.” “I understood how Jordan

must have felt,” DiCaprio said. “These people idolizing you even though I’m preaching to them about screwing people over to its ultimate degree.” Much of the film focuses not just on Belfort’s rise from a lowly Long Island penny stock broker to a hugely wealthy and powerful figure but on the panting excitement his audacity inspires. In one of the movie’s most famous scenes, one played frequently in advertisements, Jonah Hill’s character quits his job minutes after hearing how much money DiCaprio makes. The ominous concluding image of the film (spoiler alert) is of a rapt audience soaking up Belfort’s motivational speaking. More than anything, the film questions this innate allure of greed, leaving moviegoers to question their own culpability in a system that rewards Belfort’s behavior. The New Yorker’s Richard Brody wrote: “Those who are decrying its extremes are maintaining their own innocence, protesting all too much their immunity to its temptations.” Scorsese said he “didn’t want to stand back and say, ‘This is bad behavior.’” “It’s not for us to say. It’s for us to present,” he said. “And obviously it’s bad behavior. Obviously the values are twisted and turned upside down.” It’s not every day that a 71-year-old filmmaker (whose “Goodfellas” shares much with his latest movie) releases a film that provokes like “The Wolf of Wall Street” has. Said Scorsese: “If it raises the ire of some people, that might be a good thing because it makes you think about it.”

Hudson was emotional highlight at People’s Choice LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Hudson held back tears when she accepted the favorite humanitarian award at the 2014 People’s Choice Awards. Accompanied on stage Wednesday night by her sister, Julia Hudson, the Oscar-winning actress became choked up as she said: “My mother always taught us without family you have nothing. Whether you know it or not, we all are family. What happens to the other happens to us. It’s one thing to be a celebrity and have power, but it means nothing if we’re not making a difference and helping someone else.” Hudson created the Chicago-based Julian D. King Gift Foundation with her sister, Julia Hudson, in honor of her nephew, Julian King, who was killed in 2008 at the age of 7. The crime also took the lives of the Hudsons’ mother and brother. The foundation aims to provide stability and positive experiences for children. Hudson was presented the award by LL Cool J. “It feels good to see positivity acknowledged,” she said. “Where we come from all you hear about is who shot who and who went

to jail. There is more to life than the block you live on. We want to show them that I came from the same area and if I can do it, you can do it too. It does not stop there.” Hudson’s tender moment was the only instance to strike a strong emotional chord during the show. Bestowing the humanitarian award remains a gripping Hudson current in the show primarily packed with light-hearted moments. Sandra Bullock gained the show’s first humanitarian award in 2013 for her efforts in storm-ravaged New Orleans. She stayed modest in her speech, saying she didn’t do much compared to the volunteers based in New Orleans. Bullock added that she was able to “write a check and be a really good cheerleader.” Last year marked the first year that the People’s Choice Awards included more in their lineup than the fans’ favorite slices of entertainment. But the show had yet to see a moment quite as affecting as Hudson’s.

The show — with nominees determined by national ratings averages, box-office grosses, music sales, social media activity and peopleschoice.com data — is a big popularity contest that’s doesn’t hold much weight in the industry. The winners are decided by the fans by online voting. But the People’s Choice Awards is always a truly star-studded evening, as the show is one of the first big televised ceremonies occurring at the top of awards season. The Golden Globes take place on Sunday, followed by the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Grammys and the Oscars. Appearing at Wednesday night’s fete were stars from television, music and film ranging from Drew Barrymore to Heidi Klum, Ian Ziering, Jessica Alba, Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, Anna Faris and Julianna Margulies. Ellen DeGeneres was named favorite daytime TV host, making her the woman who has gained the most People’s Choice Awards with a total of 14 trophies. Bullock was named favorite

movie, comedic and dramatic actress and shared the favorite movie duo award with “Gravity” co-star George Clooney. “Iron Man 3” scored three awards including Robert Downey Jr.’s nod for favorite action movie star. Justin Timberlake also nabbed three prizes, Adam Sandler was deemed the favorite comedic movie actor, Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev, the stars of “The Vampire Diaries,” earned the award for best on-screen chemistry, Stephen Colbert won the favorite late-night talk show host award, Britney Spears picked up the favorite pop artist honor, and Kaley Cuoco received the favorite comedic TV actress prize as well as the favorite TV comedy award, along with the rest of the cast of “The Big Bang Theory.” After debuting her talk show “The Queen Latifah Show” in 2013, fans awarded Queen Latifah their favorite new talk show host. “2 Broke Girls” stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs hosted the show at the Nokia Theatre, offering gut-busting wisecracks throughout the evening.

TAXES: Debate coming Tuesday on food tax FROM PAGE A1

Fremont is also waiting to see how a proposed food and beverage tax that would only be for Angola is handled. The issue will be on Tuesday’s agenda for the Steuben County Council at 10:30 a.m. That meeting takes place in the commissioners’ room in the Steuben Community Center, 317 S. Wayne St., Angola. Officials from municipalities around the county have been invited. The Angola Common Council already approved a resolution that favored seeking the tax for the city only. Required legislation is pending before state lawmakers. There currently is a food and beverage tax on the books for Steuben County and Angola, sharing equally in the revenue, but it must be enacted by the Steuben County Council. The pending bill would not need action from the county. Snyder said if that tax is enacted and did not include Fremont receiving any of the

generated revenue it would be unfair. It is not known how much revenue Fremont or anyone else would receive from the tax. The way the law is now, none of the towns would receive revenue from the tax, only Angola and Steuben County. Steuben County Council President Rick Shipe said earlier he would like to determine an equitable way for all municipalities with restaurants and bars to receive a share of the revenue. He did not know the best way to do that. The way the current law reads, it is up to the county council to enact an ordinance that would put the law into effect. Based on data compiled by the Steuben County Tourism Bureau, there are nearly 50 restaurants, 15 fast food establishments and nine bars in the county that would collect the tax. Just based on addresses, which includes establishments outside the city’s or town’s political boundaries,

Angola had 35 restaurants (24 restaurants and 11 fast food establishments) while Fremont has 18 (13 restaurants and five fast food). Hamilton has seven restaurants. At the Fremont special meeting Dec. 23, two year-end encumbrances were handled for upcoming projects, Snyder said: • sidewalk, curbing and drainage works on Toledo Street between Pleasant and Mill streets. API Construction Corp., LaOtto, will do the work at an estimated $43,505, plus an added $13,100 if additional work is ordered. The estimated time of completion is April 30. • approved encumbered funds for the parks and recreation department that includes $1,500 for an Americans With Disabilities Act pad; $1,500 for a bench and bike rack; $1,000 for crack sealing and $3,550 for sidewalks. The town also re-appointed Snyder to the Steuben County Economic Development Corp.

THE EXPERT

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Moving quickly to contain a widening political scandal, Gov. Chris Christie fired one of his top aides Thursday and apologized repeatedly for the “abject stupidity” of his staff, insisting he had no idea anyone around him had engineered traffic jams to get even with a Democratic mayor. “I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team,” the Republican governor said at an extraordinary news conference in which he patiently took questions from reporters — and answered in his typically blunt fashion — for nearly two hours. Christie, who had previously assured the public that his staff had nothing to do with the lane closings in September that caused major backups at the George Washington Bridge, said he fired Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Anne Kelly “because she lied to me” when he demanded weeks ago that anyone who knew anything about the episode come forward. Kelly was the latest casualty in a scandal that threatens to upend Christie’s second term and his expected run for president in 2016. Two other top Christie appointees have resigned in the past few weeks. The investigation broke wide open on Wednesday, with the release of emails and text messages that suggested Kelly arranged the traffic jams to punish Fort Lee’s mayor for not endorsing Christie for re-election. The gridlock delayed emergency vehicles, school buses and countless commuters for four days. In other developments: • The chief federal prosecutor in New Jersey, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, said he is “reviewing the matter to determine whether a federal law was implicated.” The Legislature is also investigating. Using public resources for political ends can be a crime. • David Wildstein, a Christie appointee who resigned from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey after being implicated in the scandal, was found in contempt Thursday by a legislative committee after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimina-

tion and refused to answer questions. • Christie traveled to Fort Lee later in the day to apologize in person to Mayor Mark Sokolich. While Sokolich accepted Christie’s public apology, he urged the governor to delay his visit, saying he suspects the whole story has yet to come out. He said the governor’s office was tainted by “venomous, petty” politics. The allegations turned a local traffic furor into a national issue and raised questions about Christie’s leadership and integrity as he lays the groundwork for a White House bid. Democrats at the national level have seized on the scandal as more evidence that Christie is a bully.

president Rob Myers, CEO of Parkview LaGrange Hospital. After eating a quick meal, Pence made his way to the back of the room to meet with a group of students from Lakeland High School and Wolcott Mills Elementary School before taking the stage to deliver his address. He thanked the crowd of more than 300 people for their warm welcome, saying he was grateful for “any warmth this week.” Pence stuck close to an outline his staff placed on each table, the “Governor’s 2014 Roadmap.” He pointed out that the state is in good shape financially because Indiana had learned to “live within its means” during the recent recession. “We are the financial envy of the country,” he said.

The crowd then gave Pence a standing ovation when he mentioned that again this year, Indiana has been awarded a triple-A bond rating by financial rating agencies. “We have been headed in the right direction much of the last decade,” he said. “Indiana’s greatest natural resource is common sense.” Pence then continued to highlight the key points in his “road map” for Indiana, calling on the state Legislature to have a “robust discussion” on a proposal to eliminate the business personal property tax. Pence said Indiana’s neighboring states, Illinois and Ohio, already have eliminated the tax, and Michigan is in the process of repealing its business property tax. Pence said in order for Indiana to stay competitive, Hoosier lawmakers must find a way

to eliminate that tax. Pence pointed out several national publications recently have touted Indiana’s pro-business environment, and in one case, a magazine rated Indiana as the second-best state in the nation to do business. He continued talking about his plan to improve Indiana’s future by working to improve the math and reading skills of all elementary school children. “We spend up to fourth grade learning to read, and then spend from fourth grade on reading to learn,” he explained. His “road map” also calls on the state to find a way to increase its high school graduation rates, improve the quality of the Hoosier workforce and improve the health, safety and well-being of Indiana families.

an analyst with Cowen and Co. in New York. JetBlue was hit especially hard because 80 percent of its flights go through New York or Boston, where the carrier shut down Monday evening into Tuesday. The airline also was affected by other airport closures and new regulations limiting pilot hours. School closures took their own toll, keeping home parents who couldn’t find alternatives for their kids. Even if those parents worked from home, they might not have been as productive, said Tony Madden, regional economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. “People in the northern climates are used to dealing with issues of snow and cold,” Madden said. “However, when you get a one-in-20-year event like this, that disrupts activities.” The insurance industry has yet to estimate costs, but Robert Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute in New York, said insurers plan for about $1.4 billion in winter storm catastrophe losses in any given year. “We certainly know there is an epidemic of frozen and burst pipes this week,” Hartwig said. Damage to a Minnesota state health laboratory in St. Paul could top $1 million after the heating

system failed and pipes leaked. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley’s home in Tuscaloosa took an estimated $50,000 blow from a burst water pipe. Roto-Rooter in Minneapolis and elsewhere has been “inundated” with calls about burst pipes and even frozen sewer lines since the cold snap, plumbing manager Paul Teale said. Governments are meanwhile tallying costs for depleted road salt reserves, blown overtime budgets and repairs. Other impacts will be felt in about 30 days when high heating bills start coming due, Gold said, which will affect how much consumers can spend in February. But somebody always benefits, he said. On-demand cable TV and restaurant delivery services gained, as did home centers and convenience stores where people went to stock up. Online retailers benefited from customers with an estimated $30 billion worth of new holiday gift cards burning holes in their pockets, he said. Other beneficiaries may be farther away. Bostonbased Hopper Research says the frigid temperatures caused a 52 percent spike in searches for flights to Cancun, Mexico, from people in Minneapolis and Chicago.

Hall vote draws debate NEW YORK (AP) — The Hall of Fame says it’s up to baseball writers to propose any changes in the selection process. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America has voted on Hall of Fame candidates since 1936, and elections have become more controversial in recent years as stars tainted by accusations of steroids use have fallen well short of the 75 percent needed for entry to Cooperstown. Writers are limited to a maximum 10 votes, and some say there’s a logjam as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire remain on the ballot at a time new players are added. The Hall electorate includes anyone who has been a BBWAA member for 10 consecutive years at any point. Some say the voting group should be expanded beyond writers. “We’re happy,” Hall chairman Jane Forbes Clark said Thursday after a news conference to introduce 2014 electees Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas. “We’re in an age where everyone does want to be heard, but we really see this as an issue that needs to be dealt with by the BBWAA.” Dan Le Batard was kicked out of the BBWAA for one year and barred from future Hall votes on Thursday after he turned over his 2014 ballot to the website Deadspin, which allowed readers to choose the selections. Le Batard, an ESPN host and longtime Miami Herald columnist, said Wednesday he gave his ballot to the website

because he detests the “hypocrisy” in the voting process and it “needs remodeling in a new media world.” “The BBWAA regards Hall of Fame voting as the ultimate privilege, and any abuse of that privilege is unacceptable,” the organization said in a statement. BBWAA Secretary-Treasurer Jack O’Connell said ballots averaged 8.4 players this year and just over half of the 571 voters used all 10 picks. “I don’t think that in any situation one needs to react to a one-off and change an entire process,” Clark said. The BBWAA decided last

month to form a committee to study whether the 10-man limit should be altered. The committee, chaired by BBWAA immediate past president Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, is expected to report back to membership in July. While the BBWAA long was limited to reporters for newspapers and news agencies, a small number of website writers have been allowed to join in recent years. Broadcasters and MLB.com reporters are excluded. The Hall of Fame electorate includes anyone who has been a BBWAA member for 10 consecutive years at any point.

Tigers upset No. 12 Cards LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Joe Jackson and Shaq Goodwin each scored 15 points and No. 24 Memphis rallied late for a 73-67 upset of No. 12 Louisville on Thursday night. Geron Johnson added 13 points, Chris Crawford 12 and Austin Nichols 10 as all five starters scored in double figures to help the Tigers end a four-game losing streak to the defending national champions. Memphis (11-3, 2-1 American Athletic Conference) shot 51 percent and outrebounded the Cardinals 37-35 in a victory that almost slipped away in the second half. Trailing 61-55 with 5:26 remaining, the Tigers closed with an 18-6 run led by Jackson, who scored 11 secondhalf points. His layup on goaltending by Montrezl Harrell put Memphis up 70-67 with 40 seconds left, Crawford added a free throw and Goodwin

followed with a dunk in the final second to seal the hard-fought win. Luke Hancock had a season-high 20 points to lead Louisville (13-3, 2-1). Memphis was more physical and more aggressive for most of the game but saved its best play for the stretch run to reclaim the lead for good. The Tigers made several big defensive stops to hold the Cardinals scoreless for the final 2:12 and seal a win against their longtime rivals. Memphis coach Josh Pastner delayed his postgame radio interview while jawing with fans who taunted him about his players’ behavior and the program’s Academic Progress Rate. The Cardinals missed their third chance to beat a ranked opponent. Louisville shot just 39 percent (25 of 64) and was outscored 42-34 inside. Russ Smith scored 19 points and Harrell 14 for Louisville, which seemed

ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann advocates eliminating the 10-players restriction and increasing the voting pool. “The idea of exclusively the baseball writers voting for the Hall of Famers is a vestige of state-ofthe-art media of the ’30s and ’40s,” he said. “It was a very, very good and inclusive idea then. Shortly after it was instituted, it began to become less inclusive, to the point now where maybe baseball writers, the beat writers, are not a large enough group or may not be the most-informed group. Certainly they’re not the exclusively informed group.”

FORT WAYNE (AP) — Luis Jacobo scored 20 points and IPFW was near perfect from the free throw line in beating North Dakota State 82-71 in a Summit League conference opener for both schools on Thursday night. Steve Forbes added 14 for IPFW. North Dakota State (11-5, 0-1 Summit) trailed Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne (13-5, 1-0) by as many as 15 points in the first half but narrowed the deficit to 38-31 at the break. The Bison edged back to 62-59 with just over five minutes to play following a three point play by Lawrence Alexander. But that was as close as the Bison would get. IPFW made 12 of 12 free throws in the final three minutes to pull off the 11 point victory margin. The Mastodons were 20 of 21 from the penalty line for the night and shot 52 percent from the field. Marshall Bjorklund led Bison scorers with 19 points.

Devils blank Dallas NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Cory Schneider earned his third shutout of the season and Michael Ryder scored his team-leading 15th goal as the New Jersey Devils snapped a three-game winless streak with a 1-0 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. Schneider finished with 26 saves in his first victory since Dec. 28 against the New York Islanders. Schneider’s previous shutout was also a 1-0 victory against Buffalo on Nov. 30. Despite stellar goaltending by Kari Lehtonen, who made 33 saves, Dallas dropped its fourth straight. Ryder connected at 8:17 of the second period on a pass from Travis Zajac. Ryane Clowe sent the puck behind the net and Zajac held on until he could slip it to Ryder for his shot from the edge of the right circle that beat Lehtonen to his stick side. Ryder nearly struck again at the 10:36 mark of the second when he intercepted a pass and skated in for an uncontested shot that Lehtonen saved.

Earlier in the second, Eric Gelinas’ slap shot trickled behind Lehtonen and was inches from the line when Cody Eakin scooped it away with his stick for Dallas. With 5:46 left in the period, Steve Bernier of the Devils had shot on the doorstep that Lehtonen grabbed with his glove. Dallas made a bid to tie the game when Ryan Garbutt took a shot that hit Schneider’s mask. Soon after, Stephen Gionta was charged with a double-minor for hitting Jamie Benn in the face with his stick. The Devils killed the four-minute power-play to keep its 1-0 lead entering the third. The Stars didn’t get their first shot until 10:40 in the first period. That drought included a two-minute power play. The Devils held a 10-8 shot edge in the period. Ryder’s shot from between the circles was thwarted by a nice reaction save by Lehtonen midway through the first. Schneider made three saves in rapid succession to deny the Stars in the first period.

Bulldogs beat Thunder BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Upset with her team’s start in its last MIAA contest and playing in hostile territory, Adrian coach Kathy Morris was determined her squad would take the floor with a vengeance in Thursday’s game with Trine University. The Bulldogs jumped out 7-0 at the outset and built a 21-point margin by the half on the way to a 69-45 win over the Thunder. “It was huge,” Morris said of her team’s start. “Quite the turnaround from the way we played Saturday.” Trine (3-10, 0-4 MIAA) is still looking for its first MIAA victory under Steve Mix, in his second season at the helm of the Thunder women’s team. “Trine had a bad game and is capable of playing better than that,” Morris said. “We’ve had our ups and downs and some injuries along the way. We’re trying to stay consistent.” The Thunder were able to produce just one player in double figures. Senior Lauren Tait led Trine with 12 points. Alivia Recker contributed nine points and Kelsey Henselmeier had six. Katelyn Sager led the team in rebounds with six. Adrian (7-6, 3-2) outrebounded the Thunder 43-36 and forced 19 turnovers. “Rebounding and our defense was solid all the way through,” Morris said. Adrian benefited from eight 3-pointers in the game, while the Thunder were just 1-of-10 from behind the 3-point arc. Trine shot only 32 percent from the field in the game, making 18-of-55 attempts. LaQwana Dockery had 18 points, six rebounds and two steals for Adrian. Brigitte Zavithsanos contributed 17 points, six rebounds and two steals. Casey Fougerousse dished out six assists.

Trine University junior Kelsey Henselmeier shoots between three Adrian defenders during Thursday MIAA contest. The Thunder fell 69-45.

After jumping ahead 7-0 at the outset, Adrian later produced a 12-0 run to lead 22-6 with 10 minutes left in the opening half. Trine followed with a 6-0 run to stop some of the bleeding, with Henselmeier, Kayla Dunn and Amy Newell scoring for the Thunder. But Adrian would score the final 11 points of the half, capped by a Jasmyne Owens triple just before the buzzer, to take a 21-point margin into the second half. Trine briefly took the margin to under 20 points on two occasions in the second half, the last with 6:41 remaining following a bucket by Sarah Miller.

The game was pretty even until the Flying Dutchmen (7-5, 1-0 MIAA) pulled away early in the second half. They went on a 13-0 run to take a 53-36 lead with 11 minutes, 40 seconds left after Caleb Byers made a short jumper in the lane for Hope. Alex Eidson had 15 points and four rebounds for the Flying Dutchmen, who blocked 10 shots for the game and led by as much as 21 points in the second half. Jared Holmquist had 18 points seven rebounds and two blocked shots to lead the Thunder (7-5, 0-1). Tyler Good added 11 points, five boards and three assists.

Jay Gruden latest coach to tackle Redskins’ turmoil ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The face was different, the words familiar. Like Mike Shanahan and nearly every recent Washington Redskins coach, Jay Gruden is anxious to declare an end to franchise’s days of dysfunction. “I don’t know what happened last year,” Gruden said. “I know that interviewing with Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen and everybody here that the passion for excellence is there. All they want to do is win, and they’re going to provide me with every avenue to win.” Gruden was introduced Thursday as the man charged with ending the perpetual state of turmoil the team has endured under owner Snyder and recently under general manager Allen. Gruden was a given a five-year contact for his first NFL head coaching gig, taking over a 3-13 team that has finished last in the NFC East in five of the last six seasons. “We HAVE to get it right,” said Allen, who led the search and interviewed six candidates. “We need to get the franchise back on track in a winning direction. … We were looking for a new leader, somebody who can inspire our football team. We knew it was more than just X and Os, it was about finding the right person to build a team chemistry that we needed.” Gruden is Snyder’s eighth coach in 16 seasons as an NFL owner. Unlike Shanahan, who was fired last week, Gruden will not have final say over all football matters. He’ll report to Allen, who has taken charge of assembling the roster and other personnel decisions. Snyder attended the news conference but did not speak to reporters. The 46-year-old Gruden has spent the last three seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, where his skill in helping to develop Andy Dalton will no doubt be of use when he takes on the task of grooming another young franchise quarterback, Robert Griffin III. Gruden praised the talents of Griffin and spoke of the need to build a “genuine” trust with the quarterback, who regressed this season after winning the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2012. Griffin returned from major knee surgery to start 13 games, but he publicly disagreed with some of Shanahan’s decisions, struggled as

a drop-back passer and was benched for the final three weeks. Asked to confirm that Griffin will be the starter, Gruden chuckled and said: “I don’t see him as a backup.” “I see every trait that a quarterback has to have to be successful, I see Robert having all of those,” Gruden said. “So why wouldn’t you want to coach a guy like that? … I’m going to let him know that I’m a trustworthy guy. He’s also got to understand that I expect a lot from the starting quarterback. I expect him to come in and prepare and work hard, and I expect him to take the blame on some throws. I expect him to be a great leader.”

Knicks knock off Miami Heat, 102-92 NEW YORK (AP) — Carmelo Anthony scored 24 points, Andrea Bargnani had 19, and the New York Knicks beat the Miami Heat 102-92 on Thursday night for their seasonhigh third straight victory. Raymond Felton had 13 points and 14 assists for the Knicks, who seized control with a 16-2

run spanning the third and fourth quarters and beat the Heat for the fourth time in five meetings over the last two seasons. New York was second to Miami in the Eastern Conference last season when it won the series 3-1, but there was little reason to suggest the Knicks were ready to compete with the

NBA champions this season. New York is only 13-22. With Tyson Chandler out sick and J.R. Smith stuck on the bench as an apparent punishment, Amare Stoudemire contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. LeBron James scored 32 points for the Heat, who played

without injured starters Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier and didn’t get much from Chris Bosh, who was held to six points on 3-of-10 shooting. Dwyane Wade scored 23 points but missed all six free throws after sitting out the morning shootaround as Miami had its three-game winning streak snapped.

SPORTS BRIEFS • No. 2 Irish women slam BC SOUTH BEND (AP) — Kayla McBride had 20 points and eight rebounds, Taya Reimer added 15 points and second-ranked Notre Dame made 62 percent of its shots to beat Boston College 95-53 Thursday night, handing the Eagles their worst loss this season. The Fighting Irish (2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) improved to 14-0 for just the third time in program history and won their 37th straight regular-season game and 20th straight at home. Kristen Doherty scored 13 points to lead the Eagles (10-6, 1-1), who snapped a seven-game winning streak. The Irish took control from the start, opening a 20-10 lead when Reimer scored inside 9 minutes in. The Eagles trailed 49-21 at halftime.

UM takes Nussmeier from Tide ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan has made a bold move to give its football program a boost. The Wolverines hired Doug Nussmeier away from Nick Saban and Alabama to be Brady Hoke’s offensive coordinator. “Doug is a highly respected offensive coordinator and has earned a reputation as being a great mentor to quarterbacks, specifically, where he’s coached Pro Bowlers, top NFL draft choices and Heisman trophy finalists,” Hoke said in a statement Thursday. “Doug has been successful at every coaching stop with his balanced and explosive offenses, and he brings national championship experience.” Alabama hired Nussmeier nearly two years ago to be Saban’s offensive coordinator after he directed the Washington Huskies’ offense the previous three seasons. Nussmeier also spent one season as offensive coordinator at Fresno State and had stints as quarterbacks coach with Michigan State and the St. Louis Rams. He was a candidate to become Washington’s head coach before the school hired Chris Petersen. “I’m proud of what we accomplished in two seasons at Alabama, and I owe a great deal to Coach Saban for that opportunity,” Nussmeier said in a statement. “Michigan is a program I’ve always had deep respect for, and I’m looking forward to getting started in Ann Arbor and being a part of the great tradition there.” Michigan fired offensive coordinator Al Borges on Wednesday after the Wolverines ranked 86th in the nation in total offense and flopped to a 7-6 finish. Borges was one of several assistants who came with Hoke in 2011 from his staff at San Diego State. Nussmeier made $680,000 last season in the second of his three-year deal at Alabama after getting a $90,000 raise last April. He’ll likely make even more at Michigan. Nussmeier will probably provide a return on the investment if he can turn around an offense led by returning quarterback Devin Gardner.

Petrino returns to Louisville LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Looking back, Bobby Petrino said one of his many mistakes in recent years was leaving Louisville, which provided the first of several head coaching opportunities on the college and professional levels. Upon returning Thursday to the Cardinals after seven years, Petrino promised his second stint would be permanent because this was always his destination — even with collegiate stops at Arkansas and Western Kentucky and a 13-game foray with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Petrino returns to a Louisville program that has changed a lot since he left, one that’s gearing up to join the Atlantic Coast Conference next season with a home game against newly crowned champion Florida State. The coach insisted that he’s a changed person as well as he enters the next — and hopefully final — stop in his career. “It’s great to be back home,” Petrino said during a sometimes-emotional news conference. “It’s really unbelievable to get the opportunity to come back here. For (wife) Becky, and (children) Nick and Bobby and Katie, this is our home and we’re excited to be able to come back.” Petrino coached Western Kentucky to an 8-4 record last season in his only year with the team. He led the Cardinals to a 41-9 mark from 2003-06 including an Orange Bowl victory his final season. He succeeds Charlie Strong, who left last weekend after four years to accept the Texas job. Petrino inherits a team coming off a 12-1 finish and 23-3 the past two seasons with two bowl wins. Petrino received a seven-year contract with a base annual salary of $3.5 million. It includes a $10 million buyout for leaving that decreases after four years.

Harvin to play for Seahawks RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Wide receiver Percy Harvin will play for the Seattle Seahawks in Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints after missing most of the season following hip surgery. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Harvin would play following Thursday’s practice. Carroll said there would be no limitations on how the Seahawks use Harvin, including on kickoff returns. “I’m just glad to be out there helping my team win right now. The playoffs, that’s what we all dream about, to have home-field advantage, to have all the things the team has put in place. It would be hard for me to try to not be out there,” Harvin said.

What Others Say • Indiana needs to obsess over building a better-educated workforce Here’s the number every political, business and academic leader in Indiana should obsess over in the year ahead: 42. That number reflects Indiana’s rank, among all the states, in the education level of its workforce. At a time when some type of postsecondary training is critical for personal financial success, only a third of Hoosier adults have earned a degree beyond high school What that means in practical terms for the state and its residents is sobering: lower incomes, fewer job opportunities, slower economic growth, higher poverty rates, lower quality of life, less tax revenue to meet critical needs, weakened ability to adapt to increased competition from other states and nations, and even an increase in health problems (since more education and higher incomes are associated with better personal health). The low education level of its workers isn’t a new problem for Indiana, of course. And state leaders have responded to the challenge in a variety of ways. Gov. Frank O’Bannon helped drive creation of a community college system in 1999 with the goal of providing better access to higher education throughout the state. Gov. Mitch Daniels forged a partnership in 2010 with Western Governors University, a move designed to help the more than 700,000 Hoosiers who left college without a degree to finally earn a diploma. And in the past year Gov. Mike Pence has stressed the need to strengthen vocational education options for high school students who aren’t on a path to college. Each of those has been a needed, and productive, step forward. But the gap between where Indiana needs to be and where we are remains daunting. A study this year by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University projected that 62 percent of job openings in Indiana through 2020 will require at least some postsecondary education. And Indiana was actually below average in that projection. Nationally, according to the study, about 65

Indiana is expected to create fewer high-end jobs than other states, and even then we’re likely to struggle to find qualified workers to fill new positions.

• percent of jobs will require training beyond high school. In short, Indiana is expected to create fewer high-end jobs than other states, and even then we’re likely to struggle to find qualified workers to fill new positions. In 2012, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education set some lofty goals for education attainment in the state. The commission is pushing for 45 percent of Indiana’s adult population to have completed a postsecondary degree by 2018, and 60 percent by 2025. To get there, Indiana needs to double the number of degrees issued each year, from 60,000 to 120,000. That won’t happen unless student achievement in K-12 steadily improves. The adoption of stronger academic standards in Indiana’s schools — the Common Core — is one necessary ingredient in the recipe for improvement. Even more vital is ensuring that all families in the state have access to high-quality preschools. Perhaps the biggest need is to raise expectations throughout the state. A high school diploma must be seen as only the beginning of a lifetime of learning not only in places such as Carmel and Bloomington but also in small towns and urban centers across Indiana. Education, more than ever, is the key to a brighter future for individual Hoosiers and for the entire state. Above all others, that message needs to be trumpeted again and again in 2014.

Portrait of late wife clouds couple’s life DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years, “Clint,” recently brought a large framed picture of his deceased wife into our home. He placed it on his dresser in front of framed photos of us together. His wife died three years ago. We are living together in a condo Clint bought for me. He made it clear from the beginning that he didn’t want to move me into “her house.” Clint also still wears his wedding ring. He carries guilt and doesn’t seem to have made closure. I told him I don’t feel comfortable with her picture “looking at us.” Should I move on? — IN THE SHADOWS DEAR IN THE SHADOWS: That Clint still wears his wedding ring tells me he may not have accepted his wife’s death. How sad for him. Ask him to move his wife’s picture to a room other than the bedroom because, while he doesn’t think it’s creating

Some foods can choke infants and toddlers a lot of the kids (nearly 40 percent) were less than 1 year old. The top foods associated with choking were: • hard candy • other candy • meat • bone • fruits and vegetables • formula/ breast milk ASK • seeds, DOCTOR K. nuts and shells • chips, and Dr. Anthony pretzels popcorn • biscuits, Komaroff cookies and crackers • “multiple unspecified foods” A child’s age, of course, makes a difference. There aren’t many school-age children choking on breast

milk. And on the unusual occasions when babies choke on milk or other liquids, it’s rarely serious. To prevent choking, it’s important to know what children of each age can handle. Infants are just figuring out how to coordinate their swallowing. By 4 to 6 months, infants will reach for foods and show interest in what their parents and others are eating. This doesn’t mean they are ready to eat those foods. After 6 months, you can slowly work up to small pieces of soft solid foods. But make the pieces very small and soft (easily broken by a child’s mouth into smaller pieces). While it’s OK to give toddlers harder foods, you still need to be careful, especially with raw food, nuts and candy. It’s best to stay vigilant no matter how old your

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have two young children. I know not to buy toys with small parts or keep coins within their reach. What other choking hazards should I be aware of? DEAR READER: Your question is timely, because a large study on this topic was recently published. It provides answers that surprised me and may surprise you. I think this is information that every parent with young children needs to know. You’re absolutely right that toys, coins and other small solid objects are a threat. But what the new study pointed out is that food may be an even bigger threat. The study included more than 100,000 children coming to emergency rooms in U.S. hospitals from 2001 to 2009. The kids in the study ranged from newborns to age 14. As you might expect,

children are. The following tips can help prevent choking: • Encourage children to chew their food well. • Sit down together for meals. • Insist that kids sit down when they eat. (No snacks while climbing on the jungle gym or heading out to sports practice.) • Don’t let children run, play or lie down with food in their mouths. It’s also a good idea to learn the Heimlich maneuver. You can use this emergency technique to help a child who is choking on food or another object. Ask your pediatrician how you can learn to do the Heimlich maneuver and other lifesaving skills. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
