ALBION — The Noble County Board of Commissioners Monday voted 3-0 to begin the process of taking bids to tear down an unsafe building on Silver Lake in southern Noble County.

Commissioners also ordered that property owner Jack Wonderly should be fined $4,000 for his failure to remove the unsafe building at 1210 S. C.R. 90W in

rural Albion by the Dec. 31, 2013, deadline commissioners set in an Oct. 21, 2013, hearing.

Noble County building inspector Richard Adair showed commissioners photos taken at 8:30 a.m. Monday proving the structure still was standing on the property.

Sheds and other outbuildings on the property are safe and can remain, Adair said.

Commissioners declared the

building unsafe earlier in 2013 and granted an extension of time to remove it at the Oct. 21 meeting.

Spectacular sunset A fiery sunset silhouettes buildings near Brighton in northern LaGrange County on Sunday evening.

After mild temperatures over the weekend, the

forecast calls for snow to return to northeast Indiana for the rest of this week.

Freeze, thaw lead to potholes FORT WAYNE — Drivers are asked to be on alert for potholes on interstates, U.S. highways and state routes now that snow has melted away and freeze-thaw action is starting to cause problems.

The rise and fall in temperatures following last week’s severe winter weather was a recipe for potholes to form quickly, said Mary Foster, Indiana Department of Transportation spokeswoman.

As temperatures continue to rise and fall through the winter season, more potholes are likely to form.

“When INDOT is not clearing snow, ice or storm debris, crews are focused on maintaining and preserving the state’s roads and bridges, which often consists of pothole patching in the winter months,” Foster said. “Crews

are filling potholes as quickly as possible, but with nearly 4,800 lane miles to maintain in the Northeast Indiana District, it is a big job.”

Potholes begin when water seeps into the cracks in a road and freezes, expanding the layers of pavement, stone and soil beneath the surface. As the ice melts and contracts, heavy highway traffic further loosens the pavement, forming potholes.

During the winter INDOT uses cold mix — a mixture of small stone and liquid asphalt — as a temporary patch. Even after being filled with cold patch, the same pothole requires ongoing maintenance and can reopen several times throughout the winter.

When the asphalt plants reopen in the spring, INDOT maintenance

crews clean out and then repair potholes with hot mix, providing a smoother, more permanent fix.

For the past several years, INDOT has been expanding its Pavement Preservation Program to improve pavement friction and seal tiny cracks before potholes form. For every dollar invested, research estimates that pavement preservation saves taxpayers $6 to $14 in future maintenance and construction costs. Pavement preservation also uses fewer natural resources than reconstruction and significantly reduces motorist inconvenience.

To report a pothole on a state route, interstate or U.S. highway in northeast Indiana, call 866-2273555 or email neinformation@ indot.in.gov.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Democrats in New Jersey sharpened their aim at Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Monday, forming special legislative committees to explore the role politics played in traffic jams last fall and announcing that the investigation has grown into an abuse of power probe.

The intensifying investigation, which threatens to undermine Christie’s second term and his chances at a 2016 presidential run, revealed last week that high-ranking Christie aides and appointees were involved in ordering lane closings in September as apparent political payback that led to massive gridlock in the town of Fort Lee. A new special Assembly committee, given subpoena power and a special counsel, will be charged with finding out how high the plot went up Christie’s chain of command, said a leading state Democrat, Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald.

“It is clearly an abuse of power,” he said. “The question is, who abused their power and how high did it go?”

The committee will focus exclusively on the traffic jams in Fort Lee, whose mayor has said he believes the lanes were closed to punish him for not endorsing Christie. The panel will be chaired the head of the Assembly transportation committee who launched the initial investigation into the lane closings, John Wisniewski.

The state Senate announced that it planned to establish its own committee, also with subpoena power.

Christie has apologized over the lane closings but denied involvement. He also fired a top aide and cut ties with a political adviser who’d been widely seen as a potential campaign manager if Christie runs for president.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An effort to write a gay marriage ban into the Indiana Constitution hit a road bump Monday as a House chairman delayed a key vote on an issue that sailed through the General Assembly three years earlier.

Members of the House Judiciary Committee were scheduled to vote on the proposed ban and a companion measure, but Chairman Greg Steuerwald, R-Avon, delayed the vote after nearly four hours of testimony on the issue.

“We ran out of time for one, and the speaker wanted to start session on time. Plus, I had heard from a number of committee members they wanted time to reflect on the testimony,” Steuerwald said.

The panel met in the House chambers from 10 a.m. until 1:30, just before House lawmakers were preparing for their daily session in the same space.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the move hinted at possible trouble for a measure that won broad bipartisan support but little attention in 2011 amid a five-week walkout by House Democrats and skirmishes over labor and education measures.

The high-profile battle has caused some lawmakers to say they will change their votes and oppose the ban and has spurred some House committee members to reconsider their positions. Members of the panel have become the targets of high-pressure lobbying from both sides of the issue.

House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, said it was Steuerwald’s choice to delay the vote. He said that members of the Republican caucus also have been asking about a companion measure filed with the

amendment, designed to clarify what the amendment would do.

“People want to be sure they’re doing what’s best for Hoosiers, many want to be sure Hoosiers have an opportunity to vote on it. Some want to know more details … some

are still exploring other opportunities. I don’t see any change in the course at this point from where we’ve been the last couple years,” he said.

Orthopedic surgeon joins hospital staff LAGRANGE — Ahmed Kneifati, M.D., a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, has joined the Parkview Physicians Group and Parkview LaGrange Hospital.

Kneifati also is a fellow in the Academy of American Orthopedic Surgeons. He has been in practice since 1981.

Kneifati received his medical degree from Aleppo University in Aleppo, Syria. He completed a residency in internal medicine at the Royal Alexandria Hospital in North Wales, England, and a rotating internship in orthopedic surgery at Hamot Hospital in Erie, Pa., which included a six-month

fellowship in basic science at Duke University in Durham, N.C., and six months of pediatric orthopedic surgery at Shrine Hospital in Erie, Pa. He holds a fellowship in pediatric orthopedics from the DuPont Institute in Wilmington, Del. “We are very pleased that Dr. Kneifati will be joining our team at Parkview LaGrange,” said Parkview LaGrange Hospital president, Rob Myers. “The depth of his background and experience will be a great benefit to our patients.”

“My philosophy for patient care is to rely first on preventive

medicine and patient education — to diagnose and treat conditions like osteoporosis early, reducing the risk of fractures later on,” Kneifati said. “I prefer to treat the problem conservatively — avoiding surgery whenever possible. When Kneifati surgery is required, I will use a minimally invasive approach, if appropriate for the patient.

Minimally invasive procedures, such as arthroscopic surgeries, significantly lessen the amount of

scarring and minimize any further damage.”

Continuing education in orthopedics is important to Kneifati, who sees patients of all ages, from children through adults, he said.

“I keep up to date with the latest in techniques,” he said, “but in my practice, I prefer to be in the middle – not the first to perform a new procedure, nor the last, but in the middle where there is sufficient knowledge about the outcomes for the patient.”

In addition to experience with general orthopedic surgeries, joint repairs and replacements, Kneifati has significant training and experi-

ence in spinal surgeries.

“I prefer to take the most conservative approach to orthopedics,” he continued. “There are new minimally invasive surgeries, such as a percutaneous discectomy, that require only a half-inch incision under local anesthetic to repair a herniated disc. A stitch and a band aid and the patient is able to go home within an hour or two of surgery.”

Kneifati will open his practice, Parkview Physicians Group-Orthopedic Surgery, in LaGrange on Jan. 20. His practice will be in the Medical Office Plaza on the campus of Parkview LaGrange Hospital.

Stewart Bender, the county’s emergency management director, said he will be submitting an estimate of LaGrange County’s cost of employee overtime, equipment damaged during the storm and money spent hiring contractors as part of the cleanup efforts after the storm. That application is expected to be in the hands of the state later this week.

Then it will be given to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for consideration.

Bender estimated the county is eligible for as much as $100,000 in FEMA funding, but said he doubts the county would receive that level of support.

Garrett’s Calvary Cemetry may get restored in spring Meeting set to organize GARRETT — A planning session to discuss the revitalization of the historic Calvary Cemetery in Garrett will take place Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Garrett Public Library.

David Cole of Garrett has been volunteering his time the past year to make a difference in the 120-yearold cemetery. Before Calvary Cemetery opened, Garrett residents were buried in locations such as Christian Union Cemetery northwest of Garrett or in Auburn.

Cole said many people wrongly believe Calvary is strictly a Catholic cemetery.

While the Catholic diocese at one time maintained the property, the cemetery serves a mix of faiths and people from all walks of life, Cole said. Many prominent and colorful figures in Garrett’s history are buried in the cemetery, he added.

The diocese stopped maintaining the cemetery in the 1990s, and the Keyser Township trustee’s office took over the property.

Cole said many matters that need attention in the cemetery are beyond the funding capabilities of the township trustee.

“Monuments are sinking or have fallen over, there are drainage issues, and the cemetery has been the victim of vandalism,” he said.

Last spring, Cole

contacted DeKalb County historian John Bry for assistance. Bry is developing a model for historic cemetery revitalization and management. He also is creating a National Historic Cemetery Center as part of his master’s degree work at Ball State University.

Bry has started a process to list the community mausoleums in DeKalb County, including the one in Calvary Cemetery, on the National Register of Historic Places.

Those applications are expected to be approved this month, he said.

“The cemetery revitalization model is designed to build local leadership capacity and to be a comprehensive approach to the property’s preservation and long-term sustainability. In every community development effort, the public must be engaged, local leadership developed and a comprehensive strategy implemented over the long term,” Bry said.

Bry will use Calvary Cemetery as a case study to test his model by working with local volunteers to develop a comprehensive plan for the cemetery’s future. Calvary is one of two cemeteries chosen to test the concept. The second is a 300-acre cemetery in Philadelphia that is attracting partnerships from the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University. In both Garrett and Philadelphia, the goal is to complete individual plans for the cemeteries by May to move forward from that point.

too young, she was not overweight, and there was no family history of heart disease.

Bedeviled by worsening pain and weakness and convinced she was dying, Monroe returned to the hospital several times over the days that followed, only to come home with no answers. “I was angry and frustrated,” the West Virginia resident says.

Monroe turned to her primary care doctor about her situation and went through more tests at the hospital.

Finally, she got her diagnosis — a week after the initial breast and arm pain. As Monroe recalls, a cardiologist who had previously dismissed her complaints made the diagnosis. “The doctor told me, ‘Well, it’s a good thing you’re persistent because you’re having a heart attack.’”

Heart experts say Monroe’s situation is all too common. Women who have “atypical” symptoms, such as arm or back pain or nausea, might not realize at first that they’re having a heart attack. Then when they do seek emergency care, doctors sometimes misdiagnose them.

Heart attack symptoms different in women Most women know the symptoms of a heart attack — squeezing chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea.

But as it turns out, these symptoms are more typical for males. Female heart attacks can be quite different — and it’s important for all women to learn the warning signs.

Rhonda Monroe’s story is a cautionary tale. She was mystified when strong pain struck her left breast and left arm. Monroe, who was a 36-year-old mother of three, didn’t know it at the time, but she was having early symptoms of a heart attack. “I certainly wasn’t thinking about my heart because I was young and healthy and had been skinny,” she says.

As the pain moved into her shoulder and back, Monroe took pain relievers and showered for relief.

But the next day, she was overwhelmed with nausea, sweating, vomiting, and chest pain. An ambulance rushed her to the emergency room.

Her next hurdle: getting the doctors to believe her. “They didn’t take me seriously,” Monroe says.

She didn’t fit the profile of a heart attack patient. The doctors told her she was

VOTE: Some feel ban will drive away top talent FROM PAGE A1

law, but supporters hope that adding it to the constitution would protect it from legal challenges that have proven successful in other states. The second sentence of the measure also bans legal definitions substantially similar to marriage, but protesters and legislative leaders are undecided whether it would ban civil unions and employer benefits.

Members of Freedom Indiana, a coalition opposing the amendment, said the ban would harm the ability of employers to attract top talent to Indiana. Executives for Columbus engine-maker Cummins and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly told

stories of their problems in recruiting talent from around the world.

Activists tailored their testimony to a small audience to the 13 members of the House Judiciary Committee.

Jeremy Wentzel, student body president at Wabash College, talked of his dedication to conservative principles of limited government and low taxation, while also being gay. Wentzel, a Brown County native, said lawmakers’ consideration of the amendment is making it harder for him to stay in Indiana once he graduates.

“I can be a young gay conservative anywhere,” Wentzel said. “But when

it comes to being a young gay conservative and raising a family, that just means I can’t be a Hoosier now.”

A few hundred opponents packed the House chamber and halls outside the House Monday as the committee heard hours of testimony.

Opponents, who wore red to signal their opposition, cheered as opponents testified. The packed hallways recalled the protests of union members during the 2011 and 2012 sessions, but marriage protesters were much quieter.

A diverse group testified in favor of the amendment, although many arguments centered on the religious definition of marriage.

WN board elects officers LIGONIER — The West Noble school board elected new officers for the coming year on Monday night.

Board member Jeanna Leamon was elected by her colleagues as the new board president. Leamon is in the middle of her third four-year term on the board.

She replaces Mary Wysong as board president. After Leamon

was elected president, Wysong was elected as the board secretary.

Board member Todd Moore was elected to the position of board vice-president.

Board members also reviewed a proposed calendar for the 2014-15 school year but held off on voting on the calendar. The subject will be on the agenda for the board’s next meeting.

Test votes postponed for jobless benefits measure WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate postponed a pair of test votes on stalled unemployment legislation on Monday as Republicans and Democrats sought a compromise to restore benefits to 1.3 million long-term jobless workers who lost them abruptly late last year.

The postponement came after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada met privately with two Republicans on the measure, the first in what looms as a series of election-year bills in which the political parties vie for support from economically strapped voters.

Officials in both parties

said that in the meeting with Reid, Sens. Dean Heller of Nevada and Susan Collins of Maine proposed adding a provision to the bill to restore full cost of living benefits to military retirees under the age of 62. Lawmakers voted to curtail the increases late last year, and now face enormous pressure from veterans groups to reverse themselves.

As drafted, the legislation would restore federal benefits for the unemployed who have exhausted their state-provided support, generally after 26 weeks. An earlier program expired on Dec. 28, cutting off about 1.3 million people hurt by the recession who had been

receiving an average $256 weekly.

In remarks on the Senate floor, Reid did not mention the veterans, but said he hoped an agreement was possible on the unemployment issue.

Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he wanted any compromise to give the GOP the ability to have Senate votes on GOP proposals before final passage. He did not outline any specific proposals, but has previously recommended paying for extended unemployment benefits by delaying a requirement for individuals to purchase health insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck watched the game tape one more time Monday morning.

While it didn’t change anything that happened in Saturday night’s frustrating playoff loss at New England, it did help Luck head into the offseason with a bit of optimism.

The Colts, he figures, are off to a good start. If he can clean things up in the postseason, well, the future looks even brighter for one of the league’s youngest teams.

“It’s good motivation and it’s a learning tool. I’ve got to look at it as a learning tool,” the newly clean-shaven Luck said after throwing four interceptions last weekend and seven in the playoffs.

“I think offensively we got better.

I think with guys coming back (from injuries), hopefully we can keep taking steps forward. I think we really improved as an offensive unit.”

In two NFL seasons, Luck has presided over some historic feats. After engineering a stunning nine-game turnaround, from 2-14 to 11-5 and a return to the playoffs in 2012, he faced the challenge of a tougher schedule. Luck made it look easy.

Indy won 11 regular-season games and this time captured its first AFC South crown since the Peyton Manning era. Luck became only the third Colts quarterback since John Unitas in 1971 to win

Manning’s focus on Patriots Wall, Nene, ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning’s mind is on New England, not his neck.

When answering a question last week about whether he could still enjoy the playoffs given his previous postseason disappointments, Manning dropped in a phrase that “the light is at the end of the tunnel for me, no question.”

Meaning, that at age 37 he certainly has more games and seasons behind him than ahead.

Following Denver’s 24-17 win over San Diego on Sunday that sent the Broncos into the AFC championship, Manning was asked whether a medical exam on his surgically repaired neck following the season, which ESPN reported will determine whether he even plays in 2014, was weighing on his mind.

“It’s really not,” Manning said.

“What’s weighing on my mind is how soon I can get a Bud Light in my mouth. That’s priority one.”

Neither Manning nor the Broncos have any indication whatsoever that Manning won’t pass his medical exam in March — if anything were wrong, he wouldn’t be playing right now.

And Manning is coming off the best statistical season of his brilliant career, one in which he threw for a record 55 touchdowns and 5,447 yards.

But he’s not one who likes to look too far ahead anyway, just like he hates going down memory lane or talking about his health publicly.

Now, Patriots pass-rushers Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich might be among his concerns this week. But he didn’t even want to talk about the

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) calls an audible at the line of scrimmage against the San Diego Chargers in the first quarter of an NFL AFC division playoff football game Sunday in Denver.

Patriots following Denver’s win over the Chargers, much less about his upcoming medical exams or his football future.

“It was an intense game and up and down and a lot of emotions,” Manning said. “Even the Patriots is (too far) ahead. And that question is way far ahead. I am not there. This team has been a one-week-at-a-time season. For all we’ve been through, losing our coach, losing different guys to injury, that approach has served us well and I think we need to keep that approach from here on out.”

Manning has always said that if doctors had told him after his spinal fusion surgeries two years ago that he shouldn’t continue playing football, he would have walked away from the game

Dawson set to be Garrett’s all-time leading scorer

BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — The Allen County Athletic Conference Tournament kicks off tonight, but there’s another story line for the Garrett girls basketball team and its fans to keep an eye on entering tonight’s first-round game against South Adams.

Senior Brandi Dawson only needs five points to become the Railroaders’ all-time leading scorer. After scoring 20 points in a victory over Bluffton on Friday, Dawson currently sits at 1,239 points while Kelly Surfus is atop the record book — for now — with 1,243 career points.

Dawson started the season fourth on the all-time list, and

surpassed Jade Januseski and Courtney Feagler earlier this season. The road for Dawson’s success was paved her freshman year when she was a starter on a 22-3 team that won a sectional title in Dan Feagler’s final year as coach.

“Her evolution — if you go back and look at the film body-wise, and her hard work in the weight room and as a player — is just unbelievable,” said Garret coach Bob Lapadot following Friday’s win over Bluffton. “She’s gone from a stand-in-the-corner jump shooter and slasher to a complete basketball player.”

But scoring isn’t the only area where Dawson’s among the SEE DAWSON, PAGE B1

without regret and that he’d do the same if he receives such medical advice down the road.

All parties expect him to receive the go-ahead to play next season when he has his medical exam in March, which is just like the one he had after last season.

Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts in March of 2012 after four neck operations that weakened his throwing arm.

He signed with the Broncos and has gone 27-7 in Denver with 97 TD passes and 24 interceptions, counting playoffs.

The Broncos (14-3) on Sunday host the Patriots (13-4), who haven’t played on the road in the AFC playoff bracket since losing to Manning and the Colts 38-34 in the AFC title game following the 2006 season.

Garrett senior Brandi Dawson goes up for a shot over a Bluffton defender during Friday’s Allen County Athletic Conference game. Dawson needs five points to pass Kelly Surfus as the Railroaders’ all-time leading scorer.

CHICAGO (AP) — John Wall and Nene had 19 points apiece, Trevor Ariza scored 16 and the Washington Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 102-88 on Monday night.

The Wizards led by 13 early in the fourth quarter and hung on after Chicago made one final push, snapping the Bulls’ five-game win streak.

Nene scored eight points in the final period and Bradley Beal came on strong down the stretch to finish with 13. He hit a jumper and 3-pointer during a nine-point run that bumped Washington’s lead to 96-82 with about 3 minutes left after Chicago pulled within five.

Wall scored four points during that spurt and had seven assists in the game.

Ariza hit a trio of 3-pointers and the Wizards came away with the win after dropping five of seven.

Carlos Boozer scored 19 for Chicago and Joakim Noah grabbed 16 rebounds, but with a chance to reach .500 for the first time since November, the Bulls came up short. They also lost for the first time since trading Luol Deng to Cleveland last week, after winning three without him.

Washington had no trouble getting inside in the early going and shot 59 percent while building a 56-43 halftime lead.

The Bulls jumped right back into it to start the third quarter, tightening their defense while scoring the first eight points.

No. 23 Duke beats Virginia, 69-65 DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — If No. 23 Duke turns its season back around and starts playing like a Final Four contender again, the Blue Devils might credit the final few seconds of Monday night’s game as a big reason why.

Duke beat Virginia 69-65 after Rasheed Sulaimon bounced in the go-ahead 3-pointer with 18.8 seconds left.

Sulaimon finished with a season-high 21 points — including four 3s — and Rodney Hood added 14 for the Blue Devils (13-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Debuting their lowest ranking since the last time they fell out of the AP Top 25 in February 2007, they let an 11-point lead with 3½ minutes completely slip away before finding a way to avoid a third loss in four games.

“This has to be the game where we look back (and say) that game versus Virginia is where our guys bonded together and became a real Duke team,” said forward Amile Jefferson, who had two big rebounds in the final seconds, including one that led to Sulaimon’s final 3.

Malcolm Brogdon scored 17 points and Joe Harris added 15 for the Cavaliers (12-5, 3-1), who erased that deficit by scoring 11 consecutive points, then took their first lead of the game when

AP

Duke’s Rasheed Sulaimon is guarded by Virginia’s Malcolm Brogdon during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Durham, N.C., Monday.

Duke won 69-65.

Brogdon’s free throws with 36.5 seconds remaining made it 65-64.

“To show that kind of heart and to climb back in and have a one-point lead was, I told the guys, ‘Don’t hang your head about that,’” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. “That could have gotten away, and they scrapped and fought their way back.”

Jefferson grabbed Hood’s air ball and kicked it out to Sulaimon who was waiting alone in the left corner.

His 3-pointer bounced high off the rim and dropped through to put Duke up 67-65.

Akil Mitchell threw the

ball away while trying to get it to Harris, but Jefferson gave it right back to Virginia.

“It’s the action we wanted. We just didn’t execute the pass,” Bennett said. “It’s a 2-point game. I thought, ‘OK, we’re going to get one here.’ But (Jefferson) certainly had eyes on that, and it wasn’t meant to be on that one.”

Harris then missed a layup with about 10 seconds left and Jefferson, a 41 percent free throw shooter entering the game, iced it with two free throws with 6.8 seconds remaining.

“It was just chaotic, but

those are winning plays,” Jefferson said, “and today, we made those plays.”

Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski said Jefferson “willed us to win. That was one of the great sequences that I’ve seen, and the basketball gods are good to somebody who does that.”

Jefferson finished with 10 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for Duke, which denied Virginia both its first victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium and first 4-0 start to ACC play since 1995.

For much of this one, the Blue Devils didn’t look like the team that had gone from preseason ACC favorite to question mark while dropping out of the top 10 to its lowest ranking in seven years.

“Win or lose, we’re in the top 10, we’re not in the top 10, we’re this, we’re that, we’re a disappointment or whatever,” Krzyzewski said.

“I have a good basketball team (and) my kids played their hearts out tonight.

We’re just going to keep moving on and really we’ll be immune to praise or criticism because we’ll be our own best self-critics.”

Coming off a 10-day stretch in which it dropped road games at Notre Dame and Clemson, Duke played tougher-than-usual defense and kept Virginia at bay throughout.

Titans hire Whisenhunt as new coach NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have wrapped up their coaching search by hiring San Diego offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt as their new head coach and 17th in franchise history.

Titans president and CEO Tommy Smith called the hiring a big day in announcing the hiring Monday.

“Ken is a well-respected coach in this league and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team,” Smith said in a statement. “He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a

consistent winner.”

Whisenhunt, 51, will be introduced at a news conference Tuesday.

The Titans flew to San Diego on Friday and interviewed Whisenhunt, who started his coaching career in Nashville at Vanderbilt.

He was the fourth person interviewed by the Titans, who fired Mike Munchak on Jan. 4.

But the Titans had competition for Whisenhunt, who also interviewed with Detroit and Cleveland last week. The Tennessean reported the Titans interviewed Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer for a second time Monday in Houston before

hiring Whisenhunt.

Smith thanked general manager Ruston Webster for overseeing only the second coaching search by this franchise since moving to Tennessee in 1997. Webster said Whisenhunt’s intelligence, track record with quality offenses and success as a head coach stand out to him most.

“I really enjoyed our meeting on Friday night in San Diego, and we share similar philosophies about the game,” Webster said.

“Additionally, we have several mutual colleagues that have spoken highly to me about Ken both as a coach and as a person. I am excited about Ken joining us and the future

of the Titans.”

Whisenhunt spent six years coaching Arizona and took the Cardinals to their lone Super Bowl in 2009. He was fired Dec. 31, 2012, with a record of 45-51 in the regular season and 4-2 in the playoffs.

He interviewed with Cleveland twice last year before being hired as offensive coordinator in San Diego where he helped Philip Rivers and the Chargers to the playoffs.

Chargers rookie head coach Mike McCoy said earlier Monday before the Titans hired Whisenhunt that he didn’t want to lose his coordinator but realized he might lose him after only a year.

Manning popularizes ‘Omaha’ call OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Peyton Manning can’t stop shouting about Nebraska’s largest city.

The Denver Broncos quarterback used the word “Omaha” loudly and often during Sunday’s playoff victory over the San Diego Chargers.

According to an NFL. com video montage, Manning barked “Omaha” before the ball was snapped 44 times during the game.

The reason for the word choice, if there is one, is known only to Manning and the Broncos.

But it provided some unexpected publicity for the city of 427,000, perhaps

best known as the home of both billionaire Warren Buffett and the Fortune 500 insurance company Mutual of Omaha (sponsor of the old TV show “Wild Kingdom”).

“I think it shows Peyton Manning really loves Omaha,” Mayor Jean Stothert said Monday. “I’ll personally take him on a tour. He has an official invitation now.”

Omaha was a trending topic on Twitter during the game, and the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau jumped aboard, tweeting: “We certainly appreciate all the love from Peyton Manning :)”

Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce President and CEO David Brown said he was watching the game, and he wondered how his agency could capitalize.

Brown said he wants to explore the possibility of hiring Manning, one of the sporting world’s top pitchmen, to shoot a promotional ad for Omaha.

“We’d be foolish not to,” Brown said, adding that he realizes Manning’s fee probably would be prohibitive.

If anything, Omaha once conjured an image of a cow town on the banks of the Missouri River.

But Doug Parrott, executive vice president for

the Nebraska-based Bailey Lauerman public relations and advertising firm, said that has changed over the years because of the prominence of Buffett and national media coverage of events such as the College World Series and U.S. Olympic Swim Trials.

Brown said the chamber of commerce has worked hard to woo corporations to locate to “the Big O,” as locals call it.

VanGorder named Notre Dame DC SOUTH BEND (AP) — Veteran NFL and college coach Brian VanGorder was officially hired as the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame on Monday after spending the past season as linebacker coach for the New York Jets.

VanGorder was an assistant under Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly at Grand Valley State from 1989-91 and won the Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach at Georgia in 2003. He has previously served as head coach at Georgia Southern and Wayne State, his alma mater.

VanGorder replaces Bob Diaco, who left after four seasons at Notre Dame to become head coach at Connecticut. VanGorder takes over a defense that struggled at times in 2013, finishing 31st in the nation in total defense and 27th in

scoring defense. A season earlier, the Fighting Irish, led by Manti Te’o, finished seventh in the nation in total defense and second in scoring defense in leading Notre Dame to the national championship game against Alabama.

VanGorder gained acclaim as defensive coordinator at Georgia from 2001-2004. He was a little known assistant when he was hired by Georgia coach Mark Richt in 2001, but a season later he was a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2002 when the Bulldogs ranked fourth in the nation in scoring defense at 15.14 points a game and 15th in total defense at 303.5 yards a game.

The Bulldogs were even better the next season when he won the award despite the Bulldogs losing four players to the NFL and then four more starters to

season-ending injuries, ranking third in the nation in points allowed, fourth in total yards and sixth in pass defense.

In 2005, he accepted a job as the linebackers coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a season there, he was hired as head coach at Georgia Southern.

In his one season there, the perennial NCAA Division I-AA power went 3-8, the first losing season for the Eagles since 1996, and VanGorder quit.

He was hired as the Atlanta Falcons’ linebackers coach by coach Bobby Petrino. After Petrino left during his first season, VanGorder accepted the job as defensive coordinator at South Carolina under Steve Spurrier. But he ended up staying with the Falcons through the 2011 after Petrino’s replacement,

Mike Smith, named him as Atlanta’s defensive coordinator. He then worked a year as defensive coordinator at Auburn and a year as the Jets linebackers coach.

He also previously was defensive coordinator at Central Florida, Central Michigan and Western Illinois and was head coach at Wayne State from 1992-94. He was defensive coordinator under Kelly at Grand Valley State in 1991, and also served as linebackers coach for Kelly the previous two seasons.

VanGorder’s hiring at Notre Dame was widely reported in the media last month, but it wasn’t made official by the university on Monday.

The offensive coordinator’s job remains open at Notre Dame after Chuck Martin left to become head coach at Miami of Ohio.

DAWSON: Dawson has 10 double-doubles in 2013-14 season FROM PAGE B1

program’s all-time leaders.

Her 590 rebounds put her fifth all-time, and Dawson could surpass Jade Januseski (642), Missy Van Ort (659) and Jessica Januseski (681) to be No. 2 all-time by the time the season’s over.

Catching Laura Grotrain (835) at the No. 1 spot would be a bit of a stretch.

Dawson’s 451 made 2-point shots are also No. 1 in the Garrett annals and she’s sixth all-time in blocks with 44, 21 of which have come this season.

“You can’t say enough about a kid that’s top five in rebounding and going to be No. 1 in scoring,” Lapadot said. “She’s a whole, complete player. She does a little bit of everything for us.”

Dawson is also sixth all-time in made free

throws and eighth in made 3-pointers. Dawson has accomplished all this despite not being in the top-15 all-time in total games played (she’s played in 80 total heading into tonight).

Plus, she’s 13th all-time in wins played in.

“Brandi’s our best player and everybody knows it,” said junior Emily Somers. “She’s really good at passing, defense, shooting and everything. We’ll keep feeding her so she’ll get (the record).”

Dawson scored a seasonhigh 31 points in the opener against Churubusco. She also had 30 points against Woodlan and 28 against Lakewood Park. Dawson also has 10 double-doubles on the season.

Garrett plays host to South Adams in tonight’s game with a 6 p.m. tipoff.

COLTS: Team expected to be $31 million under salary cap for 2014 FROM PAGE B1

total remained steady (23) and the number of sacks and interceptions each dropped by nine. He worked without having his favorite target, Reggie Wayne, for the second half of the season; and without his top two running backs, Vick Ballard and Ahmad Bradshaw, his top tight end, Dwayne Allen, or left guard Donald Thomas since September.

Wayne, Allen, Ballard and Thomas all expected to be healthy for training camp. Coach Chuck Pagano said Wayne is even ahead of schedule on his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee. The Colts are also expecting more from running back Trent Richardson, the No. 3 pick in 2012 who was acquired in a September trade.

Pagano can’t wait to see what the Colts will look like with all of those guys on the field.

“If we go back to work and everybody gets 1-2 percent better at their craft and what they do, and you combine all that …” Pagano said, pausing.. “Again, we didn’t reach our ultimate goal. We’re going to keep chasing it. We always will.

That will never change.”

Plenty could change between now and September.

Seven players who started at New England are slated to become free agents.

That list includes running back Donald Brown, safety Antoine Bethea, cornerback Vontae Davis, punter Pat McAfee and kicker Adam

Vinatieri. The Colts are expected to have roughly $31 million under the salary cap, enough room to re-sign some of those key players and still fill the defensive holes that allowed the Chiefs and Patriots to score 87 total points in the playoffs.

Offensively, they’re likely to continue seeking help along the offensive line to protect their franchise quarterback, and perhaps add another receiver.

But if the Colts are going to attain their biggest goal — hoisting the Lombardi Trophy — the most important piece may be Luck himself.

“I tried to start thinking about the season and all I can think about is this past game against the Patriots and turning the ball over,” he said. “But I’m proud to be a part of this team. Proud to get to the playoffs. But that wasn’t our goal. We wanted to win a Super Bowl, just like every other team out there. We’ll work to do that this offseason.”

Note: Pagano said four players who were injured Saturday — fullback Stanley Havili, cornerbacks Darius Butler and Josh Gordy and offensive lineman Hugh Thornton — were still being evaluated to see if they would need offseason surgery. … Indy also signed six players to reserve-future contracts: guard Zach Allen, center Thomas Austin, linebacker Alan Baxter, cornerback Marcus Burley, quarterback Chandler Harnish and tight end Martell Webb.

This artist’s rendering provided Monday by the Chicago Cubs shows Clark, a new mascot being introduced for the first time in team history. The team will officially introduce Clark during a visit with children at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center’s Pediatric Developmental Center in Chicago. The team plans on having Clark greet fans at Wrigley Field before and during games.

Chicago Cubs unveil Clark, team’s first mascot CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs are introducing a mascot for the first time in the team’s long history.

Drawings released by the Cubs on Monday show a young bear wearing a Cubs jersey and a backward blue baseball cap. The mascot is named Clark; the team plays at Wrigley Field, located at Clark and Addison streets on Chicago’s North Side.

Team officials say they held focus groups before deciding on Clark, and fans told them they wanted a more familyfriendly atmosphere at Wrigley Field.

Clark will greet fans at the ballpark before and during games, and the mascot will have a Twitter account and Facebook page.

The Cubs had a live bear mascot in 1916, nine years after formally adopting the Cubs moniker.

Indiana center Fischer transfers to Marquette MILWAUKEE (AP) — Indiana center Luke Fischer has transferred to Marquette.

The Golden Eagles announced Fischer’s transfer Monday.

The 6-foot-11, 230-pounder will be eligible to play for Marquette on Dec. 14.

Under NCAA rules, he will be able to practice with the team until then, but won’t travel with the squad.

Coach Buzz Williams says Fischer fits a need on Marquette’s roster.

Fischer played in 13 games off the bench as a freshman this season for the Hoosiers, chipping in 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. He scored a personal-best 10 points in a win over Kennesaw State on Dec. 22.

A 2013 graduate of Germantown (Wis.) High School, Fischer helped his team to a pair of undefeated campaigns and state championships.

Indianapolis Colts’ coaching staff heading to Pro Bowl INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Colts are sending a larger contingent to the Pro Bowl than they first expected.

On Monday, coach Chuck Pagano said he and his staff were chosen to coach one of the teams. The coaches are leaving for Hawaii next week.

The only player from the AFC South champs chosen to play was linebacker Robert Mathis, the NFL’s sacks champion.

That number will likely increase because of injuries and the teams make the Super Bowl.

Pagano was asked if the Colts would take perennial Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne with them after he spent the second half of the season helping to “coach” his young teammates. Pagano joked if he could “pull strings” with the league, he would, but Wayne had “bigger fish to fry.”

Bulls’ Rose off crutches CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose is off crutches, the next step as he recovers from his latest seasonending knee injury.

Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start traveling with the team in the next few weeks.

Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. He sat out last year while recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Cristiano Ronaldo wins FIFA best player award ZURICH (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for 2013, ending Lionel Messi’s four-year run as the world’s best player.

Ronaldo scored 69 goals for Real Madrid and Portugal last year, and his stunning hat trick against Sweden in a decisive World Cup playoff was perhaps the defining individual performance.

“There are no words to describe this moment,” said Ronaldo, who was sobbing in tears after he accepting the trophy with his young son, also named Cristiano, beside him on stage.

He beat out Barcelona’s Messi and France winger Franck Ribery, who helped Bayern Munich to a sweep of major titles.

THE HERALD REPUBLICAN

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2014

Our View •

Letter Policy •

Republican agenda sets worthy goals Republicans in the Indiana House of Representatives have unveiled their agenda for 2014, identifying “five key areas to strengthen Indiana.”

The agenda deserves attention, because in the Indiana General Assembly, the Republican is all Indiana does not seem agenda that really like an over-regulated matters.

Democrats state compared to don’t have most of the nation, but enough to stop we always should be votes Republicans working to keep things when the GOP unites simple. behind a plan.

So let’s look at what Republican House members have in mind this year, using the headings they provided: • Preparing Kids for their Careers — Republicans point out that 60 percent of Hoosier children ages 3-4 are not enrolled in preschool. Indiana is one of 10 states that does not offer a state-funded pre-K program.

The Republican plan starts cautiously with a pilot program for 1,000 4-year-olds in five counties in 2015. They could receive up to $6,800 for a full-day program and $3,400 for a half-day program.

Estimates say about 25,000 Hoosier 4-year-olds are not currently being served by an early childhood program and could qualify for vouchers if they’re rolled out to the entire state.

• Connecting Crossroads to Communities — Republicans say “a superior statewide transportation system is crucial to Indiana’s economy and future growth.” They say increasing our investment in roads directly provides jobs.

“The time is now to invest this money to better serve Hoosier motorists and key industries like tourism, agriculture and manufacturing, all of which are dependent upon a strong transportation infrastructure network,” House Speaker Brian Bosma says.

This goal could meet opposition from within. The House also increased highway funding last year, drawing criticism from the conservative wing of their own party for overspending.

• Equipping our Workforce — Republicans say that by 2018, an estimated 55 percent of Indiana’s jobs will require some postsecondary education, but only 33 percent of current working-age Hoosiers have an associate’s degree or higher.

Closing that gap in only four years will be a tall order, but we can’t get there unless we start. For northeast Indiana, the nation’s cradle of manufacturing, we hope the GOP plan will include training within easy driving distance of adult students.

• Cutting Taxes — Despite criticism from local government and school officials, Republican leaders are forging ahead with their crusade to eliminate the personal property tax on business equipment.

Supporters of the plan say Indiana needs to end the tax to compete for business against neighboring states that don’t tax business property, Republicans are talking about giving each county the option to drop the tax or not. But ending the tax would have a sharply different impact from county to county.

If other taxpayers have to make up the income lost from the business property tax, it would be much more painful in DeKalb and Noble counties than in Steuben and LaGrange counties, for example.

If the tax truly is a statewide problem, it seems more logical to provide a statewide solution, with all Hoosiers sharing the burden equally.

• Stopping Burdensome Regulations — Bosma says “one of our focal points will be removing outdated laws that increase the cost and complexity of both government and business.”

Indiana does not seem like an over-regulated state compared to most of the nation, but we always should be working to keep things simple. We should keep in mind that many regulations arose because someone was abusing the system.

Overall, Republicans have set worthy goals for improving education at both ends of the process — preschool and after high school — and keeping our roads in top condition.

Making these improvements and cutting taxes at the same time sounds like a difficult balancing act, but if the Republicans in Indianapolis can show us how it works, more power to them.

Some of the factors contributing to the income gap are tough to tackle … loss of jobs for low-skilled workers and apparent inability of this population to become more skilled. (Perhaps legalizing marijuana will help. If it doesn’t provide enough jobs, at least more people will care less.)

• Add to these the grinding down of low-skill wages thanks to a global economy that rewards the professional class — lawyers, doctors, engineers and, yes, television talk-show hosts. And, voila, a growing income gap.

But is it inequality?

What is missing from the trumpeting of income inequality are the hundreds of billions in annual government redistribution that already takes place. How much will be enough to satisfy the inequality camp?

When incomes are equal?

In the end, fairness isn’t the issue. The issue is justifying policies — government intervention, higher taxes, spending and redistribution — that can’t otherwise be easily sold. How about this for a midterm catchphrase, reflective of true circumstances — the need for a higher-skilled labor force that pits no American against another and qualifies people for jobs that are actually available: “Learning for Earning.”

It’s not as emotionally evocative as inequality, but it just might do some good.

Other suggestions welcome.

Quit hiding baby from great-grandma DEAR ABBY: My family has been keeping a secret from my grandmother. I have a 17-month-old daughter that she doesn’t know exists. I wanted to tell my grandma from the start about her great-granddaughter (her first), but I am afraid to. My family thinks that telling her will cause too much stress on her. NO one in the family takes my feelings into consideration.

I think my grandmother should know she’s a great-grandma. The problem is, I don’t know how to tell her. She’s 90 years old. I’m afraid if I say something now, it really MIGHT be too stressful for her. Also, I’m afraid that if I reveal this secret, it will start a family feud.

Bright white light acts on cells in the eye’s retina. The retina connects to a part of the brain that helps control circadian rhythms of sleep and wakefulness.

Scientists believe these rhythms may become disrupted in SAD. Light treatment is relatively safe and side effects are uncommon. Some people become irritable, develop headaches, or their eyes are bothered by the brightness of the light box. Reducing the time of each light box session, or sitting somewhat farther away from the box, can often correct that problem.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have seasonal affective disorder so I dread the approach of winter. What can I do?

DEAR READER: Here in Boston, it can get dark before 4:30 in the afternoon.

For some people, the shorter days of this time of year bring on seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression.

People with SAD tend to develop symptoms every year. They start gradually in late autumn and build up during the winter months.

For many, relief may not come until the longer days of spring.

Like other forms of depression, SAD produces sadness, lethargy and fatigue, loss of interest in people and activities, impaired concentration and irritability. SAD also leads to oversleeping and overeating. (Most other forms of depression produce

some people when they go to bed several hours later. The obvious way of dealing with this problem is moving light therapy to earlier in the day.

Some people with SAD have also suffered from bipolar disorder earlier in their lives. There is some evidence that light therapy may provoke recurrent attacks of bipolar disorder, particularly the manic (hyperactive) phase of the illness.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not test, approve or regulate light box devices. Before buying a light box, ask which wavelengths it emits, to avoid any that may be harmful. For example, blue light may be more effective for SAD than full-spectrum white light.

Pilots punished after landing error New health law DALLAS (AP) — The pilots of a Southwest Airlines flight that mistakenly landed at the wrong Missouri airport were grounded Monday, less than a day after they touched down at a small airfield that gave them only half as much room as normal to stop the jet.

After passengers were let off the plane Sunday evening, they noticed the airliner had come dangerously close to the end of the runway, where it could have tumbled down a steep embankment if it had left the pavement.

“As soon as we touched down, the pilot applied the brake very hard and very forcibly,” said passenger Scott Schieffer, a Dallas attorney who was among the 124 passengers aboard Southwest Flight 4013 from Chicago’s Midway Airport to the Branson airport. “I was wearing a seatbelt, but I was lurched forward because of the heavy pressure of the brake. You could smell burnt rubber, a very distinct smell of burnt rubber as we were stopping.”

Branson Airport has a runway that is more than 7,100 feet long — a typical size for commercial traffic.

The longest runway at Taney County Airport is only slightly more than 3,700 feet because it is designed for small private planes.

After the jet stopped, a flight attendant welcomed passengers to Branson, Schieffer said. Then, after a few moments, “the pilot came on and said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry

drawing older crowd at start

Passengers exit a Southwest Airlines flight that was supposed to land at Branson Airport in Branson, Mo., Sunday but instead landed at Taney County Airport, in Hollister, Mo., which

to tell you we landed at the wrong airport.’”

Southwest spokesman Brandy King said grounding the pilots involved is common while the airline and federal aviation officials investigate the mistake.

The captain is in his 15th year flying for Southwest, King said.

At first, Schieffer said, he considered the mistake only an inconvenience. But once he got off the plane, someone pointed to the edge of the runway, which he estimated as about 100 feet away.

“It was surreal when I realized we could have been in real danger and instead of an inconvenience, it could have been a real tragedy,” he said.

only has about half as much runway.

A Southwest spokesman said all 124 passengers and five crew members were safe.

about an hour earlier but were called back after the unexpected arrival, Parent said.

Brad Hawkins, a spokesman for Dallas-based Southwest, said everyone aboard the jet was safe. He did not know why the plane went to the wrong airport.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro said the agency was investigating, but he declined to elaborate.

Jeff Bourk, executive director of Branson Airport, said the Southwest pilot was in communication with the airport tower, which cleared him to land around 6 p.m.

The plane touched down a few moments later at the other airport.

Mark Parent, manager of the smaller airport also known as M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport, described the distance as closer to 300 feet. He said the runway is built partly on landfill. At the end there is a “significant drop-off,” with a ravine beneath it, then busy U.S. 65 on the other side.

He said a Boeing 737 had never landed at the small airfield, which opened in 1970 and normally handles light jets, turboprops and small aircraft for the charter, corporate and tourism markets.

No one was around at the airport when the Southwest flight landed. Airport staffers had gone home

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s an older, costlier crowd that’s signing up so far for health insurance under President Barack Obama’s law, according to government figures released Monday. Enrollments are lower for the healthy, younger Americans who will be needed to keep premiums from rising.

Young adults from 18 to 34 are only 24 percent of total enrollment, the administration said in its first signup figures broken down for age, gender and other details. With the HealthCare.gov website now working, the figures cover the more than 2 million Americans who had signed up for government-subsidized private insurance through the end of December in new federal and state markets.

Enrolling young and healthy people is important because they generally pay more into the system than they take out, subsidizing older adults. While 24 percent is not a bad start, say independent experts, it should be closer to 40 percent to help keep premiums down.

Adults ages 55-64 were the most heavily represented in the signups, accounting for 33 percent of the total. Overall, the premiums paid by people in that demographic don’t fully cover their medical

expenses. Some are in the waiting room for Medicare; that coverage starts at age 65.

Some questions remained unanswered.

For example, the administration is unable to say how of many of those enrolling for coverage had been previously uninsured.

Some might have been among the more than 4.7 million insured people whose previous policies were canceled because they didn’t meet the law’s standards.

“The uninsured folks for whom the law was intended don’t seem to have signed up in nearly as high numbers,” said Richard Foster, a former statistics chief for the Health and Human Services department. “There is still a huge unknown aspect to this.”

But even if the age mix remains tilted toward older adults, “it’s nothing of the sort that would trigger instability in the system,” said Larry Levitt, an insurance expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Premiums would go up next year for the overhaul, along with taxpayer costs per enrollee, but not enough to push the system into a “death spiral” in which rising premiums discourage healthy people from signing up.
