Blades Will give a Iran leg up

GOOD MORNING

ANGOLA — An Angola woman was in critical condition late Sunday after her car was pinned under a semi trailer on Interstate 69, the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department said.

Christy Keaton, 28, of Angola was airlifted by Samaritan helicopter to Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne after the crash.

I-69 southbound was closed for three hours while crews worked to rescue Keaton and clean up the scene.

Marcus Dunlop II, age 23, of Zionsville, was southbound on I-69 near the 346 mile marker, driving a 2012 Freightliner semi.

Dunlop had been pulled off onto the berm and, at about 6:01 p.m., was merging into the driving lane.

Keaton was southbound driving a 2008 Saturn Vue in the driving lane. For an unknown reason Keaton rear-ended the trailer of Dunlop’s semi. She was wearing a seatbelt and her airbag did deploy during the crash.

The car was lodged up underneath the trailer and had to be pulled out by rescue personnel. Keaton was pinned inside the vehicle for 52 minutes until a crew from Angola Fire Rescue was able to free her. Keaton is listed in critical condition at Parkview Regional. Dunlop was uninjured in the crash.

Southbound I-69 from U.S. 20 was shut down for about three hours, reopening at about 9 p.m.

The crash is still under investigation by the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office, Angola Police Department and Indiana Motor Carrier Division.

Assisting at the scene with Samaritan and Angola Fire Rescue were the Angola Police Department, Indiana State Police, Indiana Motor Carrier Division, Steuben County EMS, Steuben County Communications and Indiana Department of Transportation.

The Pfenning family of Ligonier: front, from left, Zebidiah, 7, and Zachariah, 8; back, Lisa, Zoe, 9, and Mark. Zebidiah and Zachariah, who each

Unique prosthetics help Ligonier boys run, play

BY JAMES TEW jtew@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — By all appearances, Zachariah and Zebidiah Pfenning are normal, active boys.

Zach, 8, and Zeb, 7, get wiggly when they have to sit still. They laugh and goof around with older sister Zoe, 9.

And they run.

But unlike other boys their age, running is a recent development for Zach and Zeb, made possible by running blades similar to the blades made famous by Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius.

“They play soccer. They ran their first 5K,” said their mother, Lisa. “They can run and play in the neighborhood like all the other kids.”

The family’s journey began when Lisa and her husband, Mark, decided to adopt a child after trying for nine years to have one biologically.

“We prayed about it and after we prayed, we turned on the TV,

and they were interviewing a family adopting from China,” Lisa said.

They contacted Hand in Hand, an international adoption agency with an office in Albion, and, in 2005, picked up Zoe. The couple soon realized Zoe needed a sibling and began the process of adopting another child. They let Zoe pick from the children available for adoption, and she picked Zebidiah, who joined the family in 2007.

Through a support group she was part of, Lisa learned that Zach had been on an adoption list for a long time and was in danger of being removed from the list. She and Zoe asked Mark if they could adopt Zach, and he was added to the family in 2008.

Each boy had limb issues that have required surgeries since their adoption. Zeb was missing part of one foot and had to have part of the leg removed to fit prosthetics.

Zach had lipomyelomeningocele, a form of spina bifida, and also had both legs joined to one foot.

Eventually one of Zach’s legs was amputated through the knee joint.

The pediatric prosthetics available limited the boys’ activities, Lisa said.

Afghan president delays signing deal KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s president said on Sunday he will not sign a security deal with the United States until next April’s elections, ignoring a recommendation by an assembly of Afghan elders and leaders that he do so by the end of 2013.

Hamid Karzai’s refusal to accept the Loya Jirga’s overwhelming approval of the Bilateral Security Agreement and its request that he sign it in a timely manner puts in doubt the

question of whether the U.S. will keep troops in the country after the withdrawal of foreign combat forces in 2014.

Karzai gave the 2,500-member national consultative council a series of conditions, some ill-defined, that he said needed to be met before he signed, including “peace,” the cooperation of the United States on the implementation of the Bilateral Security Agreement and fair elections on April 5.

“We want security, peace and we want a proper election. You have asked me that I should sign it within a month. Do you think that peace will come within a month?” he asked the assembly. He did not elaborate on his conditions for signing but his spokesman Aimal Faizi said: “Not before elections!

He was clear enough.”

lawmakers skeptical if deal will stay course WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers from both parties said Sunday they are skeptical that Iran will stick to a new nuclear deal and want Congress to prepare beefed-up economic penalties to hit Tehran if the accord falls apart.

In an early morning announcement, Tehran agreed Sunday to a six-month pause of its nuclear program while diplomats continue talks aimed at preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

International observers are set to monitor Iran’s nuclear sites and ease about $7 billion of the crippling economic sanctions.

But the announcement, after months of secret face-to-face talks between the United States and Iran, left many U.S. lawmakers deeply doubtful of the most significant agreement between Washington and Tehran after more than three decades of estrangement. The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, said Sunday he would work with colleagues to have sanctions against Iran ready “should the talks falter or Iran fail to implement or breach the interim agreement.”

Such distrust that Iran was negotiating in good faith ran across political parties that are otherwise deeply divided. And ready-to-go sanctions seemed to have rare bipartisan support across both of Congress’ chambers.

The House in July passed its latest round of sanctions against Iran with backing from both parties, but the measure stalled in the Senate.

President Barack Obama convinced Senate leadership to hold off consideration of the measure while negotiators pursued an agreement. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada agreed to the request but said his chamber would take up new sanctions in December — with or without an agreement with Iran.

Wintry storm threatens Thanksgiving travels FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A large storm already blamed for at least eight deaths in the West slogged through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest on Sunday, leading to hundreds of flight cancellations as it slowly churned east ahead of Thanksgiving.

After the storm plows through the Southwest, meteorologists expect the Arctic mass to head south and east, threatening plans for Tuesday and Wednesday as people hit the roads and airports for some of the busiest travel days of the year.

More than 300 flights were cancelled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, representing about one-third of the scheduled

departures, and a spokeswoman said deicing equipment had been prepared as officials planned for the worst in a flurry of conference calls and meetings.

“It’s certainly going to be a travel impact as we see the first few people making their way for Thanksgiving,” National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Bradshaw said.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for chunks of North Texas from noon Sunday until midday Monday. Parts of Oklahoma are also under a winter storm warning, while an advisory has been issued for other parts of the state. A mix of rain and sleet began falling north of SEE STORM, PAGE A6

Tough, different issues face lawmakers

2 Angola men jailed in Noble County ALBION — Two Angola men were booked into the Noble County Jail Thursday, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said.

• Clayton James Munger, 54, of the 5000 block of North C.R. 500W was booked on a warrant for operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol content equal to or greater than 0.15 percent and being a habitual substance offender.

• Chad M. Schuch, 35, of the 30 block of Lane 150B, Jimmerson Lake, was booked on a warrant for resisting law enforcement, operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol content equal to or greater than 0.15 percent, operating a vehicle while intoxicated-endangering a person and reckless driving.

Do snowbirds (juncos) signal snow is on the way?

Snowbirds are back.

I saw two on the ground under a bush when I looked out a bedroom window as I was dressing one morning a week ago. I saw more on the ground beneath the bird feeder outside my study OUTDOOR window later that day, and NOTES I’ve seen small flocks Neil Case in elsewhere since that morning.

Snowbirds are winter visitors from Canada in Indiana and most of the U.S. states, though they do nest in both the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. Officially they are named junco, but I associate them with winter and snow. When I

•

was a boy, it seemed that snowbirds often arrived in northern Iowa where I lived with the first snow.

They would then be with us through the winter, until the days had lengthened noticeably and the snow was disappearing.

Juncos are actually sparrows. But they are gray, not brown. Mostly gray, dark gray, on the head, back, wings, throat and tail, except the outer tail feathers, which are white, and the belly, which is also white. Those white outer tail feathers are easy to see at any time, but are especially conspicuous, flashy, when a junco flies.

Junco is Latin for rush, a plant of wetlands. “An odd name for this species,” wrote Edward S. Gruson, “since it prefers open pine woodlands.” Maybe in its northern or mountain nesting territories it prefers pine woodlands, but

when visiting us I see it in deciduous woodlands, weedy fields and along roadsides.

Those juncos I saw when I was a boy were named slate-colored junco.

Together,

WE SUCCEED. Help us improve the Steuben County Fairgrounds

We’re not just building a new Farm Credit office.

We’re helping build the community.

When it comes to achieving our goals in the community, every dollar counts. That’s why Farm Credit Mid-America will match every dollar donated (up to $5000) between now and the opening of our new LaGrange office on December 13th to help improve the Steuben County Fairgrounds.

In the Northwest there was another junco, the Oregon junco, which had brown on the sides and back. There were other juncos as well, and they were considered varieties or sub-species.

Some taxonomists distinguished as many as 12 varieties.

Two of the more conspicuously marked were called pink-sided and white-winged. The white-winged did not have white wings but two white bars across each wing.

Now all those varieties are lumped together under one name, dark-eyed junco.

There is one other junco in America, but its range is far from Indiana, the mountains of Mexico and the extreme southern corners of Arizona and New Mexico. It has brown on the back and yellow eyes.

It’s name, appropriately, is yellow-eyed junco.

Juncos are active little birds, often swirling about like fallen leaves before a gusting wind. They are not songsters, but have a cheery trill and a chipping call.

They feed on the ground, and it would be easy to believe that they feed on seeds like other sparrows.

And they do, but food habit studies have shown that less than half their

diet is seeds, while over 60 percent is insects, grounddwelling insects of course, many small caterpillars. But ground-dwelling insects are hard to find when snow covers the ground, and then juncos are seen clinging to weed stalks and on the snow below, feeding on seeds.

Juncos are late fall arrivals, to us and to all the states of the U.S. except the mountain states and Alaska.

And Hawaii where they’ve never been seen. But are the juncos of my yard the same birds that came to my yard last winter or fledglings of those birds? Do juncos have definite summer and winter ranges as most other migrants do? Or are juncos simply fall wanderers, so numerous that some find their way to every state south of Canada?

Snowbirds are back.

Juncos, anyhow. There are other snowbirds, snow buntings, which are sometimes called white snowbirds, and longspurs, both birds of the north that we see only in winter. But the buntings and longspurs are erratic, here some winters and not others.

Dark-eyed juncos are with us every winter. And now that they are here, does that mean snow will soon blanket the ground?

Cave explorer dies CORYDON (AP) — Conservation officers say a man who was part of a group of cavers exploring a treacherous southern Indiana cave died after he became unresponsive during the grueling outing.

Conservation Officer Jim Schreck says 49-year-old Timothy McLain of Brownsburg died Saturday evening in Blowing Hole Cave near Corydon about 25 miles west of Louisville, Ky. His body was removed from the cave early Sunday and an autopsy is scheduled.

Schreck says McLain was an experienced caver who was with other cavers between two and three miles into the cave when he became unresponsive. His cohorts tried unsuccessfully to revive him.

Blowing Hole Cave is part of the sprawling Binkley Cave system and is treacherous, with chest-deep waters and tight crevices requiring cavers to take part in strenuous crawls to maneuver.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana lawmakers will be dealing with two broad categories of issues when they reconvene next year: Battles they would gladly take on and those they would rather avoid.

Amending Indiana’s gay marriage ban into the state constitution and stepping into the continuing education struggles between Republican Gov. Mike Pence and Democratic Schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz clearly fall in the latter category, while just about anything they could do to improve the economy would fall into the former.

When House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, outlined House Republicans’ top four legislative priorities — early education, road funding, elimination of the personal property tax and closing the jobs “skills gap” — last week the unifying theme was a focus on the state economy.

“These four issues: the skills gap, early childhood education, road funding and fair business taxation must be our priorities this session. It’s my hope that we can work together as we did last session to find solutions that Republicans and Democrats can stand together on and say we’re moving Indiana in the right direction,” Bosma said during lawmakers’ “Organization Day”, which typically sets the tone for the session.

Indiana received some welcome news Friday, with word that the state unemployment rate had dropped to 7.5 percent — the best it’s been since 2008. Pence credited the state’s “pro-growth policies of fiscal responsibility” for the drop in the state’s jobless rate. And Indiana has maintained a strong balance sheet, from a cash reserve of roughly $2 billion to a “AAA” bond rating shared by just a few other states.

But that fiscal success has not filtered out across the populace, as legislative Democrats often point out.

Briefs • Ukraine residents march for closer ties with EU KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — About 50,000 demonstrators rallied in the center of Kiev on Sunday to demand that Ukraine’s government reverse course and sign a landmark agreement with the European Union in defiance of Russia.

The protest was the biggest Ukraine has seen since the peaceful 2004 Orange Revolution, which overturned a fraudulent presidential election result and brought a Westernleaning government to power.

The rally was led by Ukraine’s top opposition figures, who called for the protests to continue until President Viktor Yanukovych agreed to sign the free trade and political association deal with the EU at a summit on Friday.

As during the Orange Revolution, the opposition set up tents and encouraged supporters to spend the night.

Demonstrators in Pakistan angry about U.S. drones PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Demonstrators protesting U.S. drone strikes roughed up drivers Sunday as they sought to stop trucks carrying NATO troop supplies and equipment from passing through northwest Pakistan.

The rally came a day after a party led by politician and cricket star Imran Khan said it would prevent NATO supply trucks making their way to and from Afghanistan from travelling through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province until the U.S. stops drone strikes.

The U.S. leads the NATO coalition of troops battling the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan.

Some 100 protesters on the outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, checked the documents of truck drivers headed toward Afghanistan as they passed through a toll booth. They shouted at the drivers, and pulled one man, Gul Zaman, out of his truck when he told them that he was carrying commercial goods to Afghanistan, not NATO supplies. Video of the incident was shown by Pakistan’s GEO TV. “Without waiting for me to take my documents out of the glove compartment, they dragged me out,” Zaman said.

People • J.J. Abrams set to accept International Emmy award NEW YORK (AP) — J.J. Abrams may be immersed in a galaxy far, far away these days, but he’s taking a break from preproduction work on the new “Star Wars” film Abrams to accept a special honor at the 41st International Emmy Awards Gala.

Zachary Quinto, who recently reprised his role of Spock in Abrams’ successful reboot of the “Star Trek” franchise, will present the honorary International Emmy Founders Award to the director-producer at tonight’s awards ceremony at the Hilton New York.

Abrams is executive producer of three currently running TV shows — the science-fiction series “Revolution” and “Almost Human” and “Person of Interest,” the crime drama revolving around an omnipresent government-sponsored surveillance network that premiered well before the recent revelations about the National Security Agency.

Report to be issued on Sandy Hook shooting But much of the evidence still being withheld by Connecticut authorities He killed himself with a handgun as police arrived.

So far, investigators have released little more than search warrants, which detailed an arsenal of weapons found inside the Lanza home. The information that authorities have not revealed includes the timeline of the police response to the shooting, any mental health records for Lanza and whether investigators found any clues to a possible motive for the rampage.

The withholding of 911 recordings, which are routinely released in other cases, has been the subject of a legal battle between The Associated Press and Sedensky before the state’s Freedom of Information Commission, which ruled in favor of the AP, and now Connecticut’s court system.

A hearing is scheduled today in New Britain Superior Court on whether the judge can hear the recordings as he considers an appeal.

HARTFORD, Conn.

(AP) — A prosecutor is planning to release a report today on the investigation into the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, but the public will have to wait longer for the state police’s full accounting of the crime.

The decision to continue withholding the bulk of the evidence is stirring new criticism of the secrecy that has surrounded the probe since a gunman killed 20 children and six educators inside the school on Dec. 14.

While the gunman took his own life and authorities are not contemplating any prosecutions, the lead investigator, State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, has gone to court to fight the release of 911 tapes, consulted privately with victims’ families on what might be included in the report and resisted calls from Connecticut’s governor to divulge more information sooner.

In defense of their handling of records, investigators have cited the scale of the criminal investigation — perhaps the most extensive in Connecticut’s history — and consideration for the victims’ families, some of whom have lobbied for tighter restrictions on public information and complained of being harassed by conspiracy theorists.

Dan Klau, a Hartford attorney who specializes in First Amendment law, said the decision to release a summary report before the full evidence file is a reversal of standard practice and one of the most unusual elements of an investigation marked by secrecy.

“What I found troubling about the approach of the state’s attorney is that from my perspective, he seems to have forgotten his job is to represent the state of Connecticut,” Klau said.

“His conduct in many instances has seemed more akin to an attorney in private

Bulgaria overrun by refugees

Surplus tanks coming to local police

HARMANLI, Bulgaria (AP) — Idris Hassan, his wife and their three children fled the carnage of the Syrian war, hoping to find peace and safety in western Europe. Instead, they are stuck in an overcrowded Bulgarian refugee camp — living in a freezing tent without enough food or running water.

Thousands of Syrian and other refugees from the Middle East, Asia and Africa, who make a dangerous journey from their war-ravaged countries, often end up in crammed settlements in the Balkans after being blocked at the borders of wealthy Western European nations.

“We left our country to look for a peaceful, better place to live, where we could give our children proper education,” Hassan, 44, said sitting by a fire outside his tent in the Harmanli camp in southern Bulgaria. “But now we see that Bulgaria is a poor country which struggles to provide food for its own people.”

Aid officials say that the humanitarian situation is particularly alarming in Bulgaria, which has faced massive influx of migrants that far outnumbers its capacities. Bulgaria, one of the EU’s newest and poorest members, borders Turkey — a Muslim nation that has become a magnet for Syrians fleeing the war.

Vatican unveils St. Peter’s bones VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has for the first time publicly unveiled a handful of disputed bone fragments said by some to belong to the first pope, St. Peter.

The eight or so pieces of bone sat nestled like rings in a jewel box inside a big bronze display case on the side of the altar during a Mass commemorating the end of the Vatican’s yearlong celebration of the Christian faith.

No pope has ever definitively declared the fragments to belong to the Apostle Peter, but Pope Paul VI in 1968 said fragments found in the necropolis under St. Peter’s Basilica were “identified in a way that we can consider convincing.”

“It’s armored. It’s heavy.

It’s intimidating. And it’s free,” said Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple, among five county sheriff’s departments and three other police agencies in New York that have taken delivery of an MRAP. But the trucks have limits.

They are too big to travel on some bridges and roads and have a tendency to be tippy on uneven ground. And then there’s some cost of retrofitting them for civilian use and fueling the 36,000-pound behemoths that get about 5 miles to the gallon.

militarization of the nation’s police. ACLU affiliates have been collecting 2012 records to determine the extent of military hardware and tactics acquired by police, planning to issue a report early next year.

“One of our concerns with this is it has a tendency to escalate violence,” said ACLU Center for Justice senior counsel Kara Dansky.

An Associated Press investigation of the Defense Department military surplus program this year found that a disproportionate share of the $4.2 billion worth of property distributed since 1990 — everything from blankets to bayonets and Humvees — has been obtained by police and sheriff’s departments in

rural areas with few officers and little crime.

After the initial 165 of the MRAP trucks were distributed this year, military officials say police have requests in for 731 more, but none are available.

Ohio State University campus police got one, saying they would use it in large-scale emergencies and to provide a police presence on football game days.

Others went to police in High Springs, Fla., and the sheriff’s office in Dallas County, Texas.

In Boise, Idaho, police reported using their MRAP two weeks ago to serve a warrant, saying they had evidence the suspect might be heavily armed.

Cook your turkey on the grill A woman takes a moment The turkey is the classic centerpiece of the Thanksgiving holiday, and a cook’s major opportunity for bragging rights. If you want major accolades this season, Cowboy Charcoal recommends serving a smoky, golden brown, succulent turkey cooked on the backyard grill. This is a fun way to create a unique holiday meal that will leave guests talking.

Thanksgiving cooks will not be alone at the grill this season. Cool weather grilling is becoming increasingly more popular, especially during the holidays. The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association reports a 10 percent increase in Thanksgiving season charcoal grilling between 2009 and 2012.

While many people think that cooking a turkey on their backyard grill would require an expensive or elaborate setup, the team at Cowboy believes that even inexperienced chefs can achieve amazing results by following the right recipe.

Cowboy’s Perfect Smoked Turkey This recipe requires preparing turkey and letting it sit before grilling it. It is a good idea to plan for 11 to 13 minutes of cooking time per pound. (For example: A 20 pound turkey would require approximately 4 hours of cooking time.) To determine right sized turkey, estimate about one pound per person.

Ingredients 1 thawed or fresh turkey

1 onion 2-3 garlic cloves 3 sprigs rosemary 3 sprigs thyme 1 bay leaf Olive oil Salt (at least 4 cups) Pepper Natural hardwood lump charcoal Hickory wood chips

Directions Clean and brine the bird • Remove neck, giblets and excess fat from turkey.

(Make gravy from giblets and neck, if desired.)

• Completely rinse turkey inside and out.

• Place turkey in a large container or brining bag. Be sure the container will fit in your refrigerator.

• To create brine, fill the container/bag with 2 gallons of water (or enough water to cover turkey) and 4 cups of table salt.

• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

After brining, flavor the bird • Add onion (sliced in half), garlic cloves (add more or less depending on desired taste), rosemary, thyme and bay leaf to the inside of the turkey.

• Season the inside with salt and pepper, according to personal preference.

• Tie legs together with cooking string and twist wing tips under the back or cover with foil to prevent burning.

• Brush outside of turkey with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper (to desired taste).

MY COMMUNITY

After seasoning, prepare the grill • Soak a full package of Cowboy’s Hickory Wood Chips in a large bowl for 30 minutes.

• Below the grate on one side of your grill, place a foil pan, large enough to catch the drippings from the turkey while cooking.

• To prevent excess smoke, fill the foil pan with about ½ inch of water.

• On the other side of your grill, add about 2 pounds of Cowboy 100 percent Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal and light it.

• Drain the water from the wood chips.

• Once the lump charcoal is ash gray, add about 1 cup of wood chips to the fire • Carefully place grate back on the grill.

• With the lid closed, let the grill and wood chips preheat for about 10 minutes.

Grill the bird • Remove the turkey from the container, rinse and thoroughly pat dry.

• Arrange turkey on the grate, above the foil pan to catch drippings.

• Place lid on grill and cook turkey for approximately 11 to 13 minutes per pound, until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees.

• Add additional wood chips and charcoal every 30 minutes as needed throughout cooking process.

• When ready, transfer turkey to serving platter, cover with foil and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.

to write a thank you note A kind word can warm three months of winter.

— Japanese proverb

BY JEANETTE HURT

Many times we do something positive or say something kind, but we don’t see the impact it has on other people. We may practice these “random acts of kindness,” but we never know what happens next. One time, I was lucky enough to find out.

I was returning from a business trip to northwest Wisconsin when I stopped to refuel and get a snack at one of those travel plaza/ gas station combos on the expressway. It was late, I was tired, it was starting to rain, and all I wanted to do was get home, but home was still more than two hours away. I was feeling slightly crabby, and my back hurt from all the driving.

I went inside to buy some veggie chips and a sparkling water. The checker smiled at me, and we chatted for a moment. I don’t remember exactly what she said, but I do remember the kindness she showed me. Our brief interaction brightened my spirits, and when I got back in my car, I had a smile on my face. My car and my stomach were both refueled, but more importantly, I was refreshed. Her small act of kindness kept me going on the last leg of my journey home.

The next week, I was cleaning out my purse, and I came across the receipt. The receipt reminded me of the

clerk’s warmth, and it had the address of the store. On impulse, I decided to write a quick thank you note to her manager. I normally don’t write thank you notes — in fact, except for my wedding, I’ve never written many notes of thanksgiving or gratitude — but I’ve learned to heed such promptings.

Initially, I felt a little awkward, embarrassed even, to be writing a thank-you note to a gas station manager, but I set aside my “feelings” to listen to my gut. I told the woman’s manager exactly what I’ve just shared with you — that his employee’s kind words and caring attitude stood out to me, brightening my trip home. It took all of five minutes to write the note and affix a stamp to the envelope. I dropped the missive in the mail, and that was that.

That is, until a week later, when I received a thank-you note for my thank you note. That clerk — Robin is her name — wrote me back. As a result of my note, she received a commendation from her

manager, a company award pin and then, to top it off, a merit raise. I was stunned, and the note brought tears to my eyes. Robin’s kindness inspired me to return her positivity, and there it was — a small, mini chain reaction of goodness.

In these challenging times, it’s especially important to spread joy and gladness whenever and wherever we can.

Whether it’s a note or a kind word or even just a smile, a little gratitude goes a long way. More people complain than give thanks, and I’ve heard it said that it takes 10 kind words to overcome a single harsh one. It sometimes takes a conscious effort on our part to say more positive words than negative ones, and to do more positive things than negative ones, but the ripple effect of that goodness is powerful.

Mother Teresa advised us to “do small things with great love.” Oftentimes, when we do such small things, we don’t get to see the effects of our kind words or deeds, but every so often, we’re blessed to discover the positive outcome. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from writing that short note, it’s to give in to the impulse of kindness when it strikes.

You never know what good may come of it or where it might lead you.

DEAL: Speech being ‘studied’ by U.S. officials FROM PAGE A1

and warned that planning for a post-2014 military presence may be jeopardized if it is not approved by Karzai.

Karzai’s stance could lead the United States to decide it no longer wants to pursue the long-delayed agreement allowing thousands of American soldiers to stay beyond a 2014 deadline.

Those forces primarily will primarily train and mentor government security forces who are still struggling to face a resilient Taliban insurgency on their own.

It remains unclear what will happen next and if Karzai will eventually bow to domestic and international pressure to sign the deal by the end of 2013.

The Obama administration has said it will pull all its forces out of Afghanistan without a security deal, as it did when Iraq failed to sign a similar agreement. Most of America’s allies have also said they will not keep troops in Afghanistan without the deal.

“We are studying President Karzai’s speech.

We continue to believe that concluding the BSA as quickly as possible is to the benefit of both nations,� U.S. Embassy spokesman Robert Hilton said.

Karzai seems to be concerned about his long-term legacy, that he doesn’t want to be seen as the Afghan leader who agreed to keep foreign troops in his country beyond 2014, when a NATO mandate ends and international military forces depart Afghanistan.

His move also could be an attempt to avoid taking personal responsibility for an agreement that some Afghans might see as selling out to foreign interests. “If I sign it and peace does not come who will be blamed for it by history? If I sign it today and tomorrow we don’t have peace, who would be blamed by history.

So that is why I am asking for guarantees,� Karzai told the assembly.

The Loya Jirga has no

legal weight and can only recommend to Karzai what he should do. He convened the council to solicit their advice on whether he should sign the agreement or not.

Karzai or his designee would have signed the document after the recommendation of the Loya Jirga and then parliament would have ratified it. After ratification, Karzai would have to again sign the agreement to make it law. Parliament is widely expected to rubber stamp the deal.

Afghanistan’s president is often tempestuous and mercurial, and his relations with the United States have been testy for years. “How long he will stay in that mood I don’t know, but at the moment our understanding is that he will not go to sign it,� said former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah, who was the runner-up to Karzai in the 2009 and is the current favorite for next year’s poll. “He is a bit unpredictable.�

“The knees don’t quite work the way you want them to, so just the simple act of walking like everyone else can be a challenge,� she said. “They wanted to run and play soccer, and the prosthetics that they had — we were breaking knees on the soccer field, and they couldn’t keep up with the other kids.� “The legs were really heavy, and the boys just couldn’t run,� Mark said.

At a leg fitting, a person shadowing the boys’ prosthetist told the Pfennings about a nonprofit organization called Amputee Blade Runners.

ABR, founded by prosthetist Aaron Fitzsimmons and paralympic gold medalist Ryan Fann, provides running blades to those who use prosthetics — about 15 to 20 a year, Fann said. “We found the website and got the application,� said Lisa. “I wrote the essay with the intent that they were going to do something for Zach, because he couldn’t run at all, and we’d blown through three knees in a

year.�

Lisa said she hadn’t applied for a blade for Zeb, because she didn’t think there was enough area on his leg for a blade, but ABR offered to provide a grant for blades — which cost more than $25,000 — for both boys. Zach and Zeb each received their blades this past spring.

Zach and Zeb are the youngest persons to receive grants from ABR, Fann said. “It was a real blessing for them to step in so the boys can run,� Lisa said.

The Pfennings can apply for larger blades every two years as the boys grow, and they can adjust their blades in the meantime to fit, Lisa said.

The distance they live from their prosthetist, who is in Indianapolis, has required the Pfennings to become proficient at maintaining and fixing prosthetic legs, and they haven’t shied away from working on the blades when needed. “They were a little surprised we were so hands-on,� Lisa said. “When

you have little boys, you learn to fix things.�

In the meantime, the family is planning to add another child — Zephira, 4, whom they will get in about eight weeks. Zephira has spina bifida and hydrocephalus, but Lisa said Zeb and Zach’s medical issues have helped prepare the family for Zephira. “We know what can be done,� Lisa said.

STORM: At least eight deaths caused by weather FROM PAGE A1

Dallas on Interstate 35 by midday Sunday, and areas of southwestern Oklahoma woke up to several inches of snow.

Some elevated overpasses had icy surfaces, but Bradshaw said the worst weather could be expected between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m., possibly snarling morning rush hour.

Several inches of snow fell overnight in Altus in far southwestern Oklahoma, said Damaris Machabo, a receptionist at a Holiday Inn motel. “It looks great. I love the snow,� Machabo said. The snow and freezing temperatures made driving in the area treacherous, but Machabo said she had no problems getting to work early Sunday.

Forecasts called for more snow in the area later in the

day.

Portions of New Mexico — especially in some of the higher elevations — also had several inches of snow, and near white out conditions were reported along stretches of Interstate 40 west of Albuquerque.

Then along the New Mexico-Texas border, into the El Paso area, a mix of snow, sleet and ice forced some road closures and created messy driving conditions.

Flagstaff in Arizona had 11 inches of snow by early Sunday, and was expected to get another inch by the end of the day before the storm petered out. Metro Phoenix and other parts of central Arizona received between 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches of rain over the course of the storm.

The storms caused cancellations of sporting events

and parades and damaged the roofs of homes across Arizona.

In Tucson, firefighters on Friday recovered the body of a man who was swept away by high water in the Santa Cruz River. Tucson police said Sunday an autopsy revealed signs of trauma, and they were investigating the death as a homicide. They did not say whether they had ruled out the storm as a cause of his death.

By early Sunday, the weather was blamed for at least eight deaths in several fatal traffic accidents. The storm also caused hundreds of rollover accidents, including one that injured three members of singer Willie Nelson’s band when their bus hit a pillar on Interstate 30 near Sulphur Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Dallas.

Briefs • Irish hope to stay physical SOUTH BEND (AP) — After using its most physical game this season to beat BYU, rebounding from its most disappointing loss, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says the Fighting Irish need to come up with an even grittier effort to try to come up with their biggest win of the season against eighthranked Stanford.

“You cannot play finesse football against Stanford,” Kelly said Sunday. “Oregon showed that you can’t go in there and try to finesse them and play fast-break football. You’ve got to play physical football against Stanford to have a chance against them. What we have to do is prove we can do it consistently.”

The Irish (8-3) ran the ball a season-high 47 times against BYU after having just 24 rushing attempts in a 28-21 loss to Pittsburgh in the previous game. Kelly said the physical style the Irish used against BYU is the way they have to play to be successful.

“This is Notre Dame football. This is the way we need to play,” Kelly said.

“This is what we’re capable of playing.”

Arizona coach Bruce Arians faced his old team and showed no mercy.

Carson Palmer threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald, Karlos Dansby returned an interception 22 yards for a score and Arians’ Cardinals won their fourth in a row with a 40-11 rout of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Arians beat the team that propelled him to coaching prominence last season, when he took over as Colts interim coach while Chuck Pagano fought leukemia.

Fitzgerald caught five passes for 52 yards, becoming the youngest player in NFL history to reach 11,000 yards receiving.

Arizona’s Michael Floyd had his second straight 100-yard receiving day with seven catches for 104 yards for the Cardinals (7-4).

Andrew Luck threw for 163 yards, but had only 84 through three quarters as the Colts (7-4) fell behind 34-3.

CHARGERS 41, CHIEFS 38 Philip Rivers came through when the San Diego Chargers needed him most.

Rivers threw for 392 yards and three touchdowns, the final one a 26-yarder to Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds remaining to give the Chargers a 41-38 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and end a three-game losing streak.

The Chiefs had taken the lead when Alex Smith hit Dwayne Bowe for a go-ahead score with 1:22 left. But the Chargers (5-6) still had two timeouts, and they used both as they quickly move downfield. Ajirotutu’s TD in tight coverage was just his third catch of the season.

It also represented the eighth and final lead change in the game.

PACKERS 26, VIKINGS 26 Backup quarterback Matt Flynn threw for 218 yards to help the Packers storm back from a 16-point deficit, but Minnesota and Green Bay could only muster field goals in overtime.

Mason Crosby hit from 20 yards at 10:28 of the extra period and Blair Walsh connected from 35 with 3:54 left.

dropped a third-down pass with 2:11 left. The Packers (5-5-1) also stumbled on their next possession.

COWBOYS 24, GIANTS 21 Tony Romo threw two touchdowns and led a drive that set up Dan Bailey’ 35-yard field goal on the final play. Dallas ended the Giants’ four-game winning streak and most of their playoff hopes.

The victory moved the Cowboys (6-5) into a first-place tie with idle Philadelphia in the NFC East and left the Giants (4-7) wondering about what they gave away in two losses to Dallas.

PANTHERS 20, DOLPHINS 16 Make it seven wins in a row for the Carolina Panthers, and two consecutive late comebacks led by Cam Newton.

The Panthers quarterback converted a fourth-and-10 at his 20 with a completion to keep alive the winning drive, and Carolina went on to score a touchdown with 43 seconds left. Newton hit Greg Olsen with a 1-yard pass to cap a 12-play drive.

Carolina also rallied past the New England Patriots with a late drive last Monday.

RAMS 42, BEARS 21 Tavon Austin’s 65-yard touchdown run — his fourth straight this season from beyond midfield — jump-started a 21-point first quarter. The Rams (5-6) followed a 30-point rout

of Indianapolis in front of their largest crowd of the season, about half of them clad Bears orange, with another big win. Late scores by rookie backup running back Benny Cunningham and defensive end Robert Quinn helped finish off the Bears (6-5), who remained tied for the NFC North lead with Detroit.

Josh McCown passed for 352 yards and two touchdowns with an interception for Chicago, which had won four straight in the series.

The Bears had a 62-yard punt return for a touchdown by Devin Hester nullified by a holding penalty in the fourth quarter.

RAVENS 19, JETS 3 Joe Flacco threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones, Justin Tucker kicked four field goals and the Ravens shut down the sputtering offense of the Jets.

The defending Super Bowl champion Ravens (5-6) had lost four of five before bouncing back to beat New York (5-6) and keep their playoff hopes alive. Jones had four catches for 103 yards and returned five punts for 108 yards.

STEELERS 27, BROWNS 11 Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes and beat Cleveland again as the Steelers moved back into the playoff picture. Roethlisberger connected on a 41-yard TD pass to Antonio Brown in the first half, and hit Emmanuel Sanders on a 4-yarder in the third quarter for the Steelers

(5-6), who have turned their season around following an 0-4 start.

Roethlisberger finished 22 of 34 for 217 yards and improved to 16-1 against the Browns (4-7), who have lost five of six and seen a promising year turn into yet another miserable one.

TITANS 23, RAIDERS 19 Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kendall Wright with 10 seconds remaining to cap a mistake-free performance that put the Titans back in playoff contention.

JAGUARS 13, TEXANS 6 In a matchup of the AFC’s worst teams, the Texans couldn’t stop their skid.

Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a season-high 84 yards and a touchdown and the Jaguars extended the Texans’ losing streak to a franchise-record nine games. The two-time AFC South champions haven’t won since Sept. 15.

Jones-Drew’s touchdown on Jacksonville’s first drive put the Jaguars (2-9) on top, and they never trailed against an inept Texans offense.

Josh Scobee kicked field goals of 30 and 53 yards to help the Jaguars win for the second time in three games.

Case Keenum had the worst performance in his five starts, throwing for just 169 yards with an interception.

Bulls must begin life without Rose — again LOS ANGELES (AP) — Derrick Rose will have surgery on his right knee Monday, and the Chicago Bulls don’t yet know how long they’ll be without their star guard this time.

Rose headed home to Chicago while the Bulls went back to work Sunday, facing the Los Angeles Clippers in their first game since Rose tore cartilage in his knee in Portland on Friday night.

Chicago coach Tim Thibodeau said the Bulls won’t know how long the 2011 NBA MVP will be sidelined until Rose and team physician Brian Cole decide how to fix Rose’s knee.

“We’re hoping for the best,” Thibodeau said. “We, of course,

feel very badly for Derrick. He’s in good spirits, about as well as can be expected under the circumstances, and he’s already thinking about his rehab.

Typical Derrick.

He’s concerned about his team, his teammates.”

Rose has a medial meniscus tear, which is typically less Rose serious than a lateral tear. Some athletes miss only a few weeks after surgery on meniscus tears, while others miss several months.

The Bulls understandably won’t speculate on a return date

until they learn more about the injury, which often can’t be fully evaluated until surgery is performed — but if Rose needs to have his meniscus reattached, he could be out until spring or longer.

Sadly, the Bulls’ core has ample experience playing without Rose.

Rose missed all of last season after tearing a ligament in his left knee in Chicago’s 2012 playoff opener against Philadelphia. Rose already had missed 26 games during that lockout-shortened regular season while battling a variety of injuries.

“I think we have an understanding of what we need to do,” Thibodeau said. “We can’t

feel sorry for ourselves. We have to circle the wagons, and then get out there and get the job done.”

Rose has played in just 50 NBA games — 49 in the regular season and that one fateful playoff game — since the Bulls’ run to the Eastern Conference finals during his MVP season in 2011.

Kirk Hinrich took Rose’s spot in the starting lineup against the Clippers, and Thibodeau said second-year pro Marquis Teague will be Hinrich’s backup. Teague, a 20-year-old guard who played at Kentucky, appeared in just five of the Bulls’ first 11 games this season, playing only 35 total minutes.

Hornets continue moving forward

BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Angola’s boys basketball team is looking to take the next step in its process despite some significant graduation losses.

The Hornets lost their leading scorer in Simon Brown, a gritty interior player in Ryan Gaff and a ballhandler and scrappy defender in Sam Gardner from their 9-12 team last season (4-6 in the Northeast Corner Conference).

Second-year coach Ed Bentley believes their effort, defense and other intangibles can keep the team moving forward.

“Most of the kids took the next step with huge offseasons. We have good chemistry and leadership,” Bentley said. “The staff’s goals are to win sectional, regional and state. There are no guarantees that will happen. But having the kids believe like we do is half the battle.

“We’re trying to take the next step where winning ball games is the norm. At Westview, that’s expected. We have to get over a mental hump.”

Senior forwards Justin Davis and Aaron Lloyd are Angola’s main leaders. That fits the 6-3 Davis, who is also the Hornets’ top player returning after averaging 11.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last season and shooting 60 percent from the floor.

“Justin plays like he is 6-6. He has learned how to slow the game down in the blocks,” Bentley said.

“He’s put on 10 pounds of muscle.

He’ll play college somewhere. He is so positive and he gets everyone around him better.”

Lloyd took more time to mature to grow into his leadership role.

He was hampered by injuries last season and averaged 6.4 points per contest in just 14 games.

“Aaron has grown up tremendously. He was even like another assistant coach at times last year,” Bentley said. “I told him that this team needs you. But if you don’t learn to be a leader, this team doesn’t need you. He can be a funny guy and that’s good. I don’t want to change who he is. I just wanted him to be a little more focused on the floor.

“Over the past year, this team has taken ownership. They own the playing time. Kids in the past would blame it on other variables.”

Other key players back from

Craig Nofziger. Back row, Jacob German, Aaron Lloyd, Justin Davis, James Moore and Robby Honer.

last year are junior guard Craig Nofziger and junior forward Simon Gardner. Senior guards Trevor Lynch and Kent Kohart and 6-3 junior forward Robby Honer all saw very limited action on the varsity last season.

“The key for Simon is when he wants to defend, he can be the best defender on this side of the state,” Bentley said.

“Robby has grown three inches and has blossomed into a big player over the summer, possibly into a starter,” the coach continued. “Kent Kohart played well over the summer. He was

hitting shots and it finally began to click for him to play hard. Lynch brings a higher level of intensity to our practices.”

Nofziger is coming off a fall season where he reached the semifinals of the tennis state doubles finals with teammate Markus Arnold. Nofziger averaged 4.3 points per game last season in basketball, shooting 41 percent from three-point range (12-29) and making 80 percent of his free throws (24-30). He’ll be more of a shooting guard this season as Bentley will find others to handle the point.

“Craig has a little more moxie,” Bentley said. “We’ve seen a difference in him. As a sophomore, he was in a shell and did not want to step on the toes of upperclassmen. He’s stepped out of his shell this season.

“We have enough respect for his accomplishment because he is doing things right and you know he’s committed. To be a state qualifier means he knows how to compete.

“Nofi, Justin, Aaron, Kent and Honer are all 100 percent team guys, which pays off. They are never satisfied. They carry themselves well on and off the court.”

Junior guard Tyler Howe will bring AHS some scoring. The Hornets will pride themselves on scoring balance among many.

Bentley thinks his Hornets can complete with the top teams in the NECC. Knocking off one of the expected frontrunners would do wonders for them mentally.

“Rob (Yoder, coach) has a system in place at Westview. They don’t panic. Jordyn Bontrager is one of the best players in the area,” Bentley said. “Don’t be surprised if Prairie Heights is up there. They are not losing anybody and they are a really tough matchup.

“West Noble has good players in (Drew) Schermerhorn and Phil Miller. Coach (Troy) Beachy does a good job with Fairfield.”

Angola will open its season against a new-look Wawasee team in Syracuse on Saturday. The Warriors’ new coach is former Prairie Heights boys coach and former Goshen College women’s coach Steve Wiktorowski, who is also Wawasee’s athletic director.

FHS Eagles re-stocked for 2013-14

BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

FREMONT — Fremont’s boys basketball program appears to be in good shape after losing its all-time leading scorer.

Fifth-year coach Ted Bookwalter believes he has a surplus of talent to fall back on after losing a solid core to graduation, led by Tyler Jenkins.

The Eagles lost all five games as Jenkins served a suspension for a rules violation last season and were not able to totally regain the momentum from an 8-1 start down the stretch, especially against stronger teams, in finishing 12-9, 6-4 in the Northeast Corner Conference.

After an offseason of player development and competition, Fremont proved it can play without Jenkins. It has a fascinating blend of personnel whose newcomers include a freshman who can score, another freshman who is a home-schooled student and a senior post player who was the team’s statistician the past three years.

“The first thing is we had a great summer. Twenty kids participated in the Fort Wayne league.

We had two different teams that finished a combined 16-8,” Bookwalter said. “It gave us a pretty good idea we can compete.

Some guys emerged.

“Tony LaRose can defend any position on the floor. He wanted to guard Tyler in practice last year, especially in the post,” the coach continued. “Freshman Wade Regadanz and Alex (Beams) both averaged 15 to 20 points per game.

We have a nice guard combo with them. We have an outstanding junior class, and I have a lot more height than I ever had.

“Most people thought it would be a regrouping year for us. But our AAU program has done an excellent job. We have coaches

down there who really know the game. I feel we have 16 guys who deserve to be on the varsity court.

It will be hard to get it down to 12.”

The Eagles lost seven players to graduation, and Nate Beatty did not come back at all this senior season to focus on preparing to play college football.

Five lettermen are back in seniors Beams (9.9 points per game, 25 three-pointers, 78 percent free-throw shooter last season), LaRose (1.4 ppg, 1.9 rebounds per game), Logan Peel (2.5 ppg, 3.9 rpg), Justin Papenbrock and Kaleb Hayes.

Beams is Bookwalter’s nephew and was a semistate qualifier in cross country this fall.

Peel is a 6-foot-2, 265-pound lineman from football who runs the floor well and can grab rebounds in bunches over a short period of time. Bookwalter said

that Papenbrock, a guard, really emerged during the offseason.

Hayes, a guard, would have played an important role last season if he was not academically ineligible.

Juniors Tyler Meyer, a 6-foot guard, and Caleb Presley, a 6-3 post player, are moving up from the junior varsity. Meyer was leading scorer on the J.V. last year.

Also in the mix will be 6-5 senior Andrew Thomas and 6-3 freshman home-schooled student Logan Pentecost. Thomas was Fremont’s statistician the past three years.

“Andrew has really come on. He has a 6-9 wingspan,” Bookwalter said.

Pentecost is eligible to play basketball for FHS after the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s Board of Directors approved a proposal in April that allows home-schooled students to

and Josh Stuckey, Logan Pentecost, Tyler Meyer, Caleb Presley, Colton Howe, Wade Regadanz, managers Lexy Tellez and Courtney Recht, assistant coach David Grimm and head coach Ted Bookwalter.

participate in IHSAA sports under certain conditions. Pentecost takes one class at FHS and is also taking college courses at Trine University.

Athletics runs in the Pentecost family. Mother Laura was a standout athlete in her prep days at East Noble and coached Angola’s volleyball team to its lone sectional championship in 1996 when the tournament was not divided into classes. Father Eric was the head softball coach and an assistant wrestling coach at Fremont.

Bookwalter takes pride in the intelligence he has on his roster.

The Eagles are led on that front with a few guys who are National Honor Society caliber and have grade point averages in the 3.8 to 4.0 range.

The coach believes his team can hold its own defensively while continuing to play its fast-paced

style, and believes the NECC will be competitive at the top.

“I think there is a lot of parity going on,” Bookwalter said.

“Westview is good in their system.

West Noble is outstanding. Angola is working hard and I expect them to be really competitive. Eastside should do really well. We hope to be in that mix.”

Fremont opens its season with two road games, starting with a new-look Blackhawk Christian team on Saturday. The Braves are now coached by former Lakewood Park Christian coach Marc Davidson.

Then the Eagles will take on former Fremont coach Scott LaPlace and the Lakeland Lakers on Dec. 6. Bookwalter was LaPlace’s assistant coach when they led Fremont to the 2005 Class 2A Garrett Sectional championship. That was the program’s first sectional title in 32 years.

HOOPS: Boilermakers struggle but move to 5-0 on the season; Irish roll FROM PAGE B1

exiting the game with just five points and eight rebounds.

With the sophomore star out of the game, North Carolina pushed the lead to 16 points at 83-67, outmuscling the Cardinals under the basket.

PURDUE 81, SIENA 73 A sampling of postgame comments might leave the impression that Purdue lost to Siena.

Terone Johnson scored 15 points to reach 1,000 for his career, and Purdue managed to defeat Siena 81-73 on Sunday afternoon to remain undefeated, yet no one in old gold and black seemed happy afterward.

“Being 5-0 — obviously, that says a lot, but at the same time, we have a million things to work on,” T. Johnson said.

“We’ve been playing a little bit

too sloppy at times, turning it on, turning it off. That doesn’t work.”

Bryson Scott led the Boilermakers with 16 points. Ronnie Johnson scored 14 points and A.J. Hammons had 12 points and six blocks for the Boilermakers.

Errick Peck did not score, but he had 11 rebounds and two blocks.

Now, here’s the bad stuff.

Purdue missed 15 of its 37 free throws and committed 15 turnovers. The Boilermakers did enough to get by a young Siena squad, but a similar effort likely won’t be enough against super sophomore Marcus Smart and Oklahoma State Thursday in the Old Spice Classic in Orlando.

“We had too many one-handed rebounds, too many turnovers,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “Eventually, when you keep doing that, someone’s

going to get you. You haven’t learned your lesson yet.”

Evam Hymes scored 18 points, Brett Bisping had 16 and eight rebounds and Rob Poole added 12 points and 11 rebounds for Siena (2-4), which had won two straight.

NOTRE DAME 93, ARMY 60 Jerian Grant had 19 points, eight assists and six steals Sunday to lead Notre Dame to a 93-60 non-conference victory over Army on Sunday.

Garrick Sherman added 19 points and seven rebounds as the Fighting Irish (4-1) forced 22 Army turnovers and held the Black Knights to 5-of-25 shooting from 3-point range.

Dylan Cox scored 11 points to lead Army (1-4), which has lost three straight.

The Irish, playing their

second game in three days following their first loss of the season last Sunday to Indiana State, won their second straight and improved to 9-0 all-time against Army.

Army, which came in averaging nearly 34 3-point attempts per game, missed its first nine 3-pointers before Kyle Wilson finally connected with 14:04 to play.

IPFW 76, KENNESAW STATE 66 Pierre Bland scored 23 points in a stellar performance as Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne (IPFW) cruised to a 76-66 win over Kennesaw State on Sunday.

Bland had a field day shooting, hitting 7 of 7 from the field and going 8 for 8 from the penalty line. Bland also contributed six assists, six rebounds, and had three steals.

Manny Pacquiao, from the Philippines, right, lands a right to Brandon Rios of the United States during their WBO international welterweight title fight Sunday in Macau.

Pacquiao rights ship MACAU (AP) — Manny Pacquiao reversed the decline in his boxing career and provided some desperately needed inspiration to the disaster-stricken Philippines with an authoritative victory over Brandon Rios on Sunday.

Pacquiao entered the fight coming off successive defeats, having spent a year out of the ring and with his own trainer publicly declaring he should retire unless he convincingly beat Rios.

In addition, Pacquiao carried the burden of being the favorite son of the Philippines and the man the nation looked to as a source of joy and hope in the wake of deadly Typhoon Haiyan.

Thousands of fans watched the fight on screens set up in the plaza of Tacloban, the Philippine city hit worst by the Nov. 9 disaster that killed more than 5,000 people and left huge numbers of the population homeless.

If Pacquiao felt pressure, he didn’t show it in the ring at The Venetian casino in Macau, putting on a vintage display of his trademark combinations to wear down a gallant Rios and take a unanimous decision, claiming the WBO international welterweight title.

The judges scored it 120-108, 119-109 and 118-110. The Associated Press scored it 119-109.

Auburn’s rise to No. 4 adds to Iron Bowl hype

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Auburn moves up to No. 4 in The Associated Press college football poll, setting up the second top-five matchup with Alabama in the history of the Iron Bowl.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide receives 56 first-place votes and runs its streak of consecutive top-five rankings to 46, tying for the fourth-most in the 77-year history of the AP rankings.

When Alabama plays at Auburn on Saturday it will be the first time since 1971 the heated rivals were both ranked in the top five. The winner takes the SEC West.

No. 2 Florida State receives four first-place votes. Undefeated Ohio State moves back to No. 3 after Baylor lost for the first time. The Bears slipped to No. 9 after a 49-17 loss at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are No. 7.

Feng ends LPGA season strong NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — The only trouble Shanshan Feng faced Sunday was figuring out how to light the cannon that signaled the end of the LPGA Tour season.

She made the golf look easy at the LPGA Titleholders.

Two shots behind going into the final round, the 24-year-old from China ran off four birdies in the opening six holes to seize control, and she closed with a 6-under 66 to win by one shot and claim the richest prize in women’s golf.

It also was her second win this year, which meant as much to her as the $700,000 check.

“I had a goal to win two tournaments,” she said. “I won in China. I didn’t think I was going to achieve my goal, and I made it in my last tournament in Florida.”

Feng said her win last month in Beijing required a little luck — a shot that took a weird and wild bounce out of the rough, raced across the green and crashed into the flagstick to set up a tap-in eagle.

Tallahassee police under scrutiny in Winston case TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Its handling of sexual assault allegations against Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is just the latest controversy to hit the Tallahassee Police Department.

A handful of grand juries recently have issued scathing reports about how some officers have conducted themselves in the line of duty. In the most egregious case, a fumbled drug investigation resulted in the death of an informant.

Now, the department is coming under scrutiny for its handling of a sexual assault case in which a Heisman Trophy candidate stands as the accused. The family of the student who says she was raped claims the department tried to squelch the case: It took 11 months for Tallahassee police to hand over information to prosecutors.

Patricia Carroll, the attorney representing the alleged victim in the Winston case, said last week she “had no faith whatsoever” in the Police Department.

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After feverishly trying to derail the international community’s nuclear deal with Iran in recent weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now has little choice but to accept an agreement that he has derided as deeply flawed.

Netanyahu believes the six-month deal leaves Iran’s military nuclear capabilities largely intact, while giving Iran relief from painful economic sanctions, undermining negotiations on the next stage. At the same time, Israel’s strongest piece of leverage, the threat of a military strike on Iran, seems to be out of the question despite Netanyahu’s insistence it would remain on the table.

“Today the world became a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world made a significant step in obtaining the most dangerous weapons in the world,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet on Sunday, calling the deal a “historic mistake.”

He said Israel was not bound by the agreement, and reiterated Israel’s right to “defend itself by itself,” a veiled reference to a possible military strike against Iran.

Netanyahu has spent years warning the world against the dangers of a nucleararmed Iran, calling it an existential threat due to Iranian references to Israel’s destruction, its support of hostile militant groups on Israel’s borders and its development of missiles capable of reaching Israel and beyond.

Israel also believes that a nuclear-armed Iran will provide militant groups like Lebanon’s Hezbollah an “umbrella” of protection that will embolden them to carry out attacks.

As momentum for a deal built the past week, Netanyahu delivered speech after speech and held meeting after meeting, urging the world to seek better terms from Iran. Last week, he hosted French President Francois Hollande, then rushed off to Moscow for talks with President Vladimir Putin in a last-ditch attempt to alter the agreement.

Netanyahu had said that any deal must ensure that Iran’s enriching of uranium — a key step toward making a nuclear bomb — must end. He also said all enriched material should be removed from the Islamic Republic, and called for the demolition of a plutonium reactor under construction.

But after the deal was announced, it was clear that Netanyahu made little headway.

While freezing parts of Iran’s enrichment capabilities, it will leave others, including the centrifuges that are used for enrichment, intact. The deal relies heavily on Iranian goodwill, a still-to-be-defined system of international inspections and the continued pain of sanctions that remain in place.

Yoel Guzansky, who used to monitor the Iranian nuclear program for Israel’s National Security Council, said a deal that would satisfy Israel was unlikely from the outset due to differing “red lines” between Israel and the U.S. While Israel sees any enrichment as a cause for concern, the U.S. was willing to tolerate nuclear development as long as it was unable to produce weapons, said Guzansky, who is now an analyst at the Institute for National Security Studies, a Tel Aviv think tank.

Our eternal flame: It is hard for us to let go By now, most of the world has digested the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, and millennials can sigh relief that another such re-examination is at least 10 years away.

While most recent books and films have covered Kennedy’s life and the mysteries that remain, an equally compelling exploration is why people who were alive and cognizant at the time are still obsessed with events surrounding the 35th president. What is it that makes his presidency and death so profound for millions? Neither the truth nor the myth of the man seems to matter as much as the deeply personal experience of hearing the words: “President Kennedy is dead.”

“A death in the family” is how many have described that day and this is as accurate as any explanation, especially for people who were children then. The president and Mrs. Kennedy were more than the nation’s first family; they were our parents, too. We identified with the children and looked up to the grown-ups. In my own home, President Kennedy seemed to be about the age of my father, “a Kennedy Democrat,” though

the president was actually seven years older. I thought my mother every bit as beautiful and refined as Mrs. Kennedy.

Thus, when Kennedy died, we lost our symbolic father and our grief was for ourselves as well as the Kennedys.

We observed and absorbed Jacqueline Kennedy’s grace and dignity; we felt her KATHLEEN children’s loss as our own. Not PARKER only had we lost the leader of our nation, but our idealized notion of the American family was shattered. At the time, no one knew of JFK’s dalliances, but even if they had, men in those days were allowed latitudes that today would land them in rehab and an eternal limbo of contrition.

words, but a sudden silence fell over the locker room. I do remember that, for a guilty moment, I felt enormous relief that, for whatever reason, I was being spared the daily horror of the group shower.

Shortly thereafter, my older brother and a friend, our junior high’s honor guard, lowered the flag to half-staff.

Home later that Friday afternoon, the full impact of events settled in. My father, who had navigated us through bomb-shelter drills during the Cuban missile crisis, was silent and somber. Two days later, as we all gathered in front of the TV that had been on nonstop, we witnessed the utterly shocking moment when Jack Ruby sprang forward from a crowd and shot Lee Harvey Oswald in the gut.

Oswald and the president were buried the same day, though members of the press had to serve as Oswald’s pallbearers since no one except his family showed up.

To children of the era, who were accustomed to seeing people “shot” in plenty of TV shows — always for the good when “Bonanza’s” Cartwrights

• were forced to draw — this was instantly recognizable as something terribly different. Not only had someone killed our beloved father-president, but we had just watched someone shot in real time with a real gun resulting in a real death. To today’s Internet generation, many of whom may have witnessed beheadings, hangings and worse on YouTube or in real time, this may seem pallid stuff. But to people of relative innocence, these two events were numbing and horrifying.

Individually, we would never be the same.

After the assassinations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (April 4, 1968) and Bobby Kennedy (died June 6, 1968),

we became a different people — frightened and anesthetized against hope. Adding to my personal sense of doom, my 18-year-old brother had left in January 1968 for Vietnam and a tour of Khe Sanh with the Marine Corps.

These were fractious times, to be sure, but more than that, they were deeply sad times, even more so in retrospect. Our murdered leaders, our 58,000 dead brothers, sons, husbands, fathers and uncles. It seemed we had come to mark time by the dead.

It should be little wonder, then, that we can’t shed these memories. They are in our bones.

The eternal flame that burns at Kennedy’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery is a tribute not only to a man but to a lost time when life held promise. To Americans of a certain age, there really was once a spot, for one brief shining moment, known as Camelot.

It is hard to let go.

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

Girlfriend needs to watch her step DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my boyfriend, “Jose,” for a year. Before that, we were friends for five years. Ever since I’ve known him, he and his half-sister, “Blanca,” have danced together at parties. We’re all in our mid-20s.

They dance salsa, merengue and other styles of music together. I used to think it was cute, but now that Jose and I are a couple, I find it annoying and a little creepy. He says Blanca loves to dance and can’t always find good partners.

She gets mad when he dances with me instead of her during her favorite songs. I told Jose he can dance only with me at the parties or only with her. Not both. I don’t want to share him, and honestly, people joke that it’s incestuous.

How can I make him understand how much this bothers me? What can I say

to his half-sister when she gives me the evil eye? My relationship with her is friendly, but it was better before I started dating her half-brother.

with him. My advice is to be gracious and hold onto your temper, because if you don’t, your relationship with Blanca will no longer be friendly, and it could cost you your boyfriend.

Bad shoes can be cause of corns, calluses shoes will reduce the irritation that caused the problem. And most pharmacies sell products that help cushion corns and calluses. Thus protected, the corns or calluses will shrink on their own, over weeks or months.

First soak your feet in warm water to soften the skin. Dry your feet, then rub the pumice stone gently over the corn or callus. Afterward, moisturize the area.

Pharmacies sell various chemical peels and acid disks for corns and calluses. But use such products with caution.

Most of them contain salicylic acid, which can damage healthy skin.

For larger corns and calluses, a foot-care specialist may have to shave away some of the thickened skin.

In some instances, you may need surgery to correct an underlying problem if the irritation is caused by a problem with your foot’s bone structure. Perhaps the most common example is a bunion, a swelling at the base of the big toe.

To prevent recurrent calluses and corns, wear shoes that fit comfortably, provide cushioning in the sole and leave enough room at the toes.

If you have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy or some other circulatory problem, don’t treat the corn or callus yourself. See a

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have a patch of hard skin on my foot. Is it a corn or a callus? How should I treat it?

DEAR READER: I can’t answer your question without seeing it. But I can tell you what to look for, and when it requires a visit to your doctor.

Corns and calluses are areas of hardened skin. They develop to protect the foot from the damage that can be caused by friction from poorly fitting shoes. Over time, if the irritation continues, a corn or callus may grow and cause discomfort and pain that interferes with walking.

One big difference between a corn and a callus is location.

Calluses usually form on the bottom of the feet. Corns form on top, usually around the toes. Calluses generally consist of a broad area of thickened skin. Corns are smaller and may have a dense knot of skin in the center.

In many cases, better-fitting

foot-care specialist.

I remember a 70-year-old patient who had heart failure, kidney failure and chronic lung disease. Strong medicines were just barely keeping these problems in check. I saw her every three to four months, and at each visit, I asked her lots of questions and performed a physical examination.

She always seemed uninterested in the state of her heart, kidneys and lungs.

All she wanted to talk about were her feet — her corns and calluses.

When I interrupted her to ask more questions about her various life-threatening conditions, she admonished me: “Doctor, we all have to die of something. But we don’t have to have sore feet.”

Report: North Korea now exporting meth NEW YORK (AP) — An international drug trafficker was caught on tape this year making a “Breaking Bad”-worthy boast about his ability to provide the U.S. market with mass quantities of methamphetamine — not blue, but still potent and from a unique source.

“We have the NK product,” he said, according to court papers. “It’s only us who can get it from NK.” By “NK,” he meant North Korea, where U.S. authorities say meth production and trafficking present an emerging threat that’s been illuminated by a case brought in federal court in Manhattan against a tattooed motorcycle gang leader, two Brits named Stammers and Shackels, and two other expatriates also operating in Southeast Asia.

The five men were snared in a sting operation involving undercover Drug Enforcement Administration operatives, identified in the papers only as confidential sources, who posed as buyers in a fake plot to distribute the meth in New York City.

In Pyongyang, a spokesman for North Korean’s foreign ministry responded last week with a sharply worded statement saying the country strictly forbids drug manufacturing drug smuggling. It called the case “another politically motivated puerile charade” spread by “the Western reptile media.”

But experts on North Korea say signs of a steady output of meth there — and the potential for global distribution — is very real.

“It’s entirely plausible, if not probable, that a high quantity of North Korean meth could be smuggled into the United States,” said Sung-Yoon Lee, a professor of Korean studies at Tufts University.

Because of its extreme poverty and isolation, North Korea has long relied on a shadow economy to support its ruling elite. It makes sense that meth has joined a list of illicit goods that in the past included knock-off major brand cigarettes and counterfeit U.S. currency, Lee said.

Least influential celebrities named

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dennis Rodman is at the top of a list no one wants to be on. He’s been named GQ’s No. 1 least influential celebrity of 2013.

The 52-year-old former basketball player who has visited Kim Jong Un in North Korea was selected as the top pick in the magazine’s third annual list of the least influential celebrities, which also includes twerking pop star Miley Cyrus, President Barack Obama, and celebrity chef Paula Deen. GQ called Rodman a “Q-list celebrity willing to commit borderline treason just to hang out with a dictator who himself aspires to be a Q-list celebrity.”

Rodman said this week he’s preparing to return to North Korea late next month for an exhibition basketball tour.

on shoppers heading into the holiday shopping season.

“We continue to see anxiety regarding the economy and the ability to stay within household budgets, particularly among lower and middle-income consumers,” said Kathee Tesija, executive vice president of merchandising for Target, which trimmed its annual profit outlook on Thursday.

In particular, some Americans still are getting used to smaller paychecks because of a 2 percentage point increase in the Social Security payroll tax that started on Jan. 1. That means that take-home pay for a household earning $50,000 a year has been cut by $1,000.

That was a concern Wal-Mart noted on Nov. 14 when it lowered its annual profit guidance for the second time in three months.

“It’s going to be as competitive of a market as we’ve ever seen,” said Charles Holley, Wal-Mart’s chief financial officer, adding that among the issues that the discounter faces are “the economic conditions that the customer is under.”

Stores also say customers don’t want to spend because they’re uncertain about their health care costs next year due to the U.S. health care overhaul. Additionally, stagnant wages aren’t keeping up with daily living costs.

But so far, those that lowered their profit outlooks for either the quarter improvements haven’t been enough to shore up or the year. A big reason is consumer confidence. In fact, the expectation that they’ll Americans’ confidence in the have to offer huge discounts economy is at its lowest level in order to get shoppers to April. spend.
