GOOD MORNING Man dies, one serious in wreck

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

LIGONIER — One man was killed and another seriously injured in a crash on U.S. 33 Wednesday evening, the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department said.

Mario Alberto Reyes, 25, of Ligonier died in the crash.

His passenger, Vincente Martinez, 23, of Ligonier was airlifted by helicopter to Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, with serious head injuries.

Police reports said officers initially were called to the scene on U.S. 33 north of Elkhart C.R. 50 at 5:41 p.m. on a report of drag racing. The crash scene is five miles west of Ligonier, and the Ligonier Police Department was the first to arrive at the scene, reports said.

Reyes’ 2008 Dodge car was traveling southbound on U.S. 33 when it crossed the center line and ran off the road into a ditch, deputies said. It flipped several times before stopping in a field east of U.S. 33.

Reyes was wearing a seatbelt, deputies said; Martinez was not, and he was ejected from the car.

The case remains under investigation by the Elkhart County Crash Investigation Team.

Reports from the scene indicate the other vehicle in the reported drag race may have been an older model sport-utility vehicle, possibly a Cadillac Escalade.

Six people sickened by carbon monoxide CARMEL (AP) — Authorities say six people were taken to a hospital after carbon monoxide from a running SUV filled an apartment building in suburban Indianapolis.

Firefighters reported finding carbon monoxide in all seven units of the Legacy Towns and Flats building in Carmel late Wednesday.

Fire Capt. Kurt Weddington tells WTHR-TV that 13 people were evacuated from the building, with seven of them declining medical treatment after being checked for carbon monoxide exposure.

Weddington says the SUV was parked inside a closed garage on the lower level and that carbon monoxide spread throughout the building. Near-fatal levels of the gas were found in some apartments.

Weddington says investigators were waiting for the SUV’s owner to be released from the hospital to determine why the vehicle was left running.

President John F. Kennedy, May 29, 1917 — November 22, 1963.

The day that changed history Solemn events will mark anniversary of assassination DALLAS (AP) — Loose gatherings of the curious and conspiracy-minded at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza have marked past anniversaries of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, featuring everything from makeshift memorials to marching drummers to discussions about who else might have been in on the killing.

But in the place where the president’s motorcade passed through and shots rang out on Nov. 22, 1963, a solemn ceremony on the 50th anniversary of his death designed to avoid such distractions will include brief remarks by the mayor and the tolling of church bells.

It’s an approach that will be mirrored today in Boston, where the JFK Library and Museum will open a small exhibit of never-before-displayed items from Kennedy’s state funeral and host a musical tribute that will be closed to the public, and in Washington, where President Barack Obama will meet privately at the White House with leaders and volunteers from the Kennedy-established Peace Corps program.

“It’s 50 years later and it’s also a moment to look forward to the future,” said Thomas Putnam, executive director of the library, which usually doesn’t observe the anniversary. “We want our tone to be respectful and we want it to have a certain reverence, but we also want it to be hopeful and end

on this notion of what JFK stood for.”

The committee convened by current Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to plan the city’s event wanted to focus “in a positive way more on the legacy of President Kennedy,” said Ron Kirk, a former mayor and member of the panel.

About 5,000 tickets were issued for the free ceremony in Dealey Plaza, which is flanked by the Texas School Book Depository building where sniper Lee Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor in 1963.

Today’s event will include readings from the president’s speeches by author David McCullough. In a nod to Kennedy’s military service, the U.S. Naval Academy Men’s Glee Club will perform and there will be an Air Force flyover. A moment of silence will be held at 12:30 p.m., when the president was shot.

There was no shortage of events in Dallas this year marking the anniversary, including panels with journalists and others who witnessed the events of the day, special concerts and museum exhibits.

After the gunshots, he watched as the vehicle carrying the president and wounded governor sped away.

Read released a book this year recounting his experience and has attended several of the events, which he called cathartic.

“Even though there are all those melancholy thoughts, the way it’s shaping up … gives me more of a comfort than any time since 1963,” said Read, who will return to Dealey Plaza today.

John Judge, executive director of the Coalition on Political Assassinations, first came to Dealey Plaza to mark the fifth anniversary of JFK’s death in 1968.

Judge’s group, which believes

Kennedy’s death was part of a conspiracy, usually gathers on the plaza’s “grassy knoll” for a moment of silence at 12:30 p.m.

Since it’ll be blocked off this year, Judge says he’s reached a “livable” agreement with the city in which they’ll gather a few blocks away and move to the plaza after the official ceremony ends.

The group has made T-shirts for the occasion with the slogan, “50 years in denial is enough” and an image like that of Kennedy on the half-dollar coin, except with a bullet hole in his head and blood.

“It was meant to be shocking because we think that not solving his murder was shocking,” Judge said. He added about 10 members of his group will attend the official SEE ANNIVERSARY, PAGE A9

EN to start school on earliest date ever

BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — East Noble students will start the 2014-2015 school year earlier than ever — Thursday, Aug. 7.

The East Noble school board, meeting Wednesday at South Side Elementary School, voted to adopt the 2014-2015 school calendar. It calls for teachers to begin with a work day on Tuesday, Aug. 5.

East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson called it “an extended, balanced calendar” with longer breaks during the school year. She added, “We’re removing the one day here, one day off there.”

The start of the school year is four school days earlier than this year’s start to the school year.

East Noble staff members were surveyed for their input, and parents were given an opportunity to comment on the proposed

calendar before it went to the board, Linson said.

Calendar highlights include: fall break, Oct. 3-10; Christmas-New Year’s break, Dec. 22-Jan. 2; spring break, March 23-April 3; and the last day of school for students, Wednesday, June 3, 2015.

Graduation is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2015, at 10:30 a.m.

The PSAT test is scheduled for Oct. 15, 2014. ISTEP testing will be March 2-11 and April 27-30, 2015.

Snow makeup days are scheduled for May 8, 15 and 22, if needed.

The calendar has 180 student days as required by state law and 183 teacher days.

“We can try it, and if it doesn’t work, we can change it,” said Linson.

In other business, the board: • heard Linson briefly review results of the three public meetings about the future of the East Noble Middle School building. Linson said the next step is to hire an architect to draw plans. School trustees took no action.

• approved these new hires — Lisa Gibson as corporation occupational therapist effective Dec. 16; Mary Getts as sports and fitness instructor at North Side Elementary; Chad Cripe as youth basketball coordinator; Eric Wolf as high school assistant boys’ basketball coach; and Erica Widmer as assistant band director for the winter at the high school.

• accepted the resignation of Nicole Ade as instructional assistant at the Alternative Learning Center.

• approved changing the

termination of Steven Koons to employee resignation.

• approved these personnel changes — Casey Hardesty from part-time (five hours) nurse at Avilla Elementary to full-time (eight hours) nurse split between Avilla and Wayne Center Elementary; Jessica James from half-time nurse at Wayne Center and half-time at East Noble High School to full-time nurse at the high school; and nurse Rhonda Huff one additional hour to eight hours split between East Noble Middle School and North Side Elementary.

• heard a report on Class Dojo, an online behavior management program teachers are using at South Side Elementary. Teachers give points to students for good behavior, and their behavior pattern is shared with parents who can check it daily online.

Prairie Heights participates in national FFA event

BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Members of the Prairie Heights High School FFA Chapter made up one of 39 teams participating in the National FFA Agricultural Sales Career Development Event.

The event was held recently in conjunction with the 86th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky. The team, led by adviser Ben Leu, was awarded a gold emblem.

Members also competed for individual awards with 151 other participants.

Other schools competing at the northern regional but not advancing were Prairie Heights, Northrop, Warsaw, Penn, Greenfield Central and Merrillville.

A public performance of “Between the Bells” will be presented before the cast leaves for the state finals, which are scheduled for Jan. 24-26 at the University of Indianapolis.

Marissa Richardson, Riley Lewis and Skylar Clingan received gold emblems.

Kegan McGraw received a silver emblem.

The top 10 individuals and the national winning team members received cash awards to recognize their success in the event.

The competitive event allows students to apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations.

It includes actual sales presentations, a written exam, team sales, an individual practical situation focusing on customer relations, customer service, or

prospecting for customers.

Each team competed at local and state levels to represent its state at the National FFA Convention & Expo.

The National FFA Organization is a national youth organization of 557,318 student members as part of 7,498 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

AVILLA — The town of Avilla’s sewage works is slowly flushing away its cash reserves, an outside accounting agency told the town council Wednesday evening.

Jeff Rowe of H.J. Umbaugh and Associates gave details of a rate analysis at the council’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting. The financial picture Rowe painted of the sewer works was not bleak, but it is headed in that direction. Three possible rate increases to address the situation were discussed.

The council made no decision at Wednesday’s meeting. A vote on the issue at the council’s December meeting is also unlikely, Councilman Phil Puckett said after the meeting.

The sewer fund currently has $862,000 in cash reserves for its sewer operations, a figure that is approximately $300,000 above recommended minimum reserves.

However, the cost of operating the system is exceeding revenues by approximately $121,000 per year, Rowe said.

“It raises a red flag in terms of rates,” Rowe told the council. “You could go a year and a half before you deplete those funds.”

The three rate increase proposals Rowe discussed with the council involved a minimum $13.62 increase per month for a household that produces 5,000 gallons of sewage a month. Rowe said 5,000 gallons is a typical benchmark figure for a family of four, but individual usage varies widely.

According to Rowe, Avilla’s current rate based on 5,000 gallons is $41.61,

a figure that places the town in the bottom fourth for lowest rates when compared to similar-size communities in northeastern Indiana.

Rowe said Garrett residents pay $47.35 for producing 5,000 gallons of sewage. The rate for Auburn is $55.72. Residents of Waterloo pay the highest rate of $83.04 for 5,000 gallons. Butler residents pay $69.35.

Umbaugh and Associates included three levels of rates based on three sewage works improvement projects the town is considering.

The lowest increase, to $55.23 for 5,000 gallons, would include installation of a new forced main from the Fourth Street lift station to the sewer plant, replacement of the Cranberry Acres lift station and the addition of a generator at that location and sewage pond sludge removal.

The next increase, to $63.98, would include all of the improvements in the first increase and the addition of updating monitoring systems at the sewer plant, replacing manholes and installing a generator at the Sycamore Creek lift station.

The highest increase, to $65.07, would include all of the improvements in the first and second proposals and add installing a gravity sewer from Sycamore Creek lift station to the Miner Road lift station.

Rowe said the town could consider using additional tax increment financing funds to lower the rate increase for projects that fall within the TIF District, which collects money from property tax revenues in the district.

The TIF District now pays $190,000 annually into the sewer operating fund. The TIF fund currently has a balance of $1.2 million.

Talks with Iran remain delicate

Trial postponed for Colorado theater shooter CENTENNIAL, Colo.

(AP) — The judge in the Colorado theater shootings case on Thursday indefinitely postponed the trial of James Holmes so attorneys can argue whether he should undergo further psychiatric evaluation.

Holmes’ trial had been scheduled to begin with jury selection in February.

Holmes, 25, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and injuring of 70 during a packed midnight showing of a Batman film at a suburban Denver theater in July 2012.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Holmes underwent a mandatory sanity evaluation at the state hospital last summer. The results haven’t been made public, but prosecutors said Thursday they want a review of one of three conclusions. They did not elaborate, and both sides are barred from speaking about the case outside court.

Karen Steinhauser, a former federal prosecutor now in private practice, said most court-ordered sanity evaluations look at whether the defendant is mentally competent to stand trial; has an impaired mental condition or mental illness; and was insane at the time of the crime.

Colorado law defines insanity as the inability to tell right from wrong, so a defendant could have a mental illness but still be legally sane.

Steinhauser, who is not involved in the Holmes case, said the prosecution’s request for further evaluation might indicate that Holmes was found sane but with an impaired mental condition.

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, second from right, looks on with South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, second from left, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott, right, as

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, left, speaks during a news briefing for the Republican Governors Association annual conference Thursday.

GOP governors try for distance from gridlock SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Tired of being cast as members of the “party of no,” Republican governors facing re-election next year are emphasizing their work to steer their states through tough economic times and trying to avoid the stigma of Washington gridlock.

To that end, the 2014 elections could serve as a test case for the public’s appetite for tax cuts championed by GOP governors, the curbing of benefits for public-sector unions and restrictions on women’s access to health care. Many of the biggest fights for Republican incumbents will come in places like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — states all carried by President Barack Obama last year.

“We’re going to run on our record. I’m very proud of that,” said Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. “We said

we were going to do these things and we’ve done them largely. Isn’t that what you should want?”

More than two dozen governors gathered in Arizona for the four-day meeting, through Friday, of the Republican Governors Association, offering their work in state capitals as a stark contrast to Washington’s dysfunction. Many governors readily expressed disappointment with last month’s 16-day partial government shutdown — a standoff for which many Americans blamed Republicans — and the botched rollout of the president’s health care overhaul.

“Government at the national level doesn’t seem to work anymore,” said Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who served a dozen years in Congress before taking office this year. Added Florida Gov. Rick Scott: “The only

thing we see exported out of D.C. is insanity.”

Democrats, however, note that many of the nation’s 30 Republican governors arrived during the tea party’s rise in the 2010 congressional elections and say there is little separating the GOP chief executives from their congressional counterparts.

Democrats contend that many tax cuts have benefited corporate interests and the wealthy and come at the expense of education spending.

“They love to say that they’re different than the obstructionists in Congress,” said Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association. “They’re drinking the same beer from a different bottle.”

Republicans will be defending 22 of the 36 governor’s seats up for re-election next year.

GENEVA (AP) — Iran nuclear talks entered a delicate phase Thursday as negotiators tried to fine-tune a draft agreement that would limit Tehran’s atomic program in return for easing some sanctions. Iran’s ability to produce nuclear fuel and relief for Iran’s oil and banking sectors appeared to be among the sticking points.

Renewed opposition from influential members of the U.S. Congress to any deal they feel gives the Iranians too much for too little complicated the diplomatic maneuvering.

The Democratic-led Senate signaled Thursday it would only give President Barack Obama until next month before pressing ahead with new Iran sanctions, and a key Republican introduced legislation to limit the president’s future negotiating ability with Tehran.

Participants at the talks refused to spell out what was standing in the way of a deal. But Iranian statements and remarks from Western officials suggested they included finding mutually acceptable language on whether Iran has a right to enrich uranium, a technology that can produce both reactor fuel and nuclear warhead material.

Sanctions relief was also an issue.

The United States and its allies have signaled they are ready to ease some sanctions in return for a first-step deal that contains Iran’s nuclear program. But they insist that the most severe penalties — on Tehran’s oil exports and banking sector — will remain until the two sides reach a comprehensive agreement to minimize Iran’s nuclear arms-making capacity.

Iran says it does not want such weapons and has indicated it’s ready to start rolling back its program but wants greater and faster sanctions relief than that

being offered.

A senior U.S. official told reporters last week that Iran is losing $5 billion a month in lost oil sales alone and $120 billion in total from all sanctions since their imposition, although he did not give a time frame.

The official demanded anonymity in keeping with rules established by the U.S. administration.

The White House has not publicly provided a figure, but congressional officials said Wednesday the administration estimates Iran could get $6 billion to $10 billion in sanctions relief over six months as a first step, with additional relief depending on progress made toward a final deal.

Several Democrat and Republican senators have voiced displeasure with the parameters of the potential agreement, arguing that the U.S. and its partners are offering too much for Iranian action that stops short of a full freeze on uranium enrichment.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned Thursday that the Iranians could prevent any successful deal from emerging without the threat of new oil and financial penalties. He said the Senate must move forward with new sanctions after returning from a two-week recess next month.

Sen. Bob Corker, the Republicans’ top member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, proposed a bill mapping out what a final agreement should look like and seeking to restrict Obama’s capacity to offer sanctions relief.

The legislation gives Obama 240 days to conclude the deal and states he can only suspend restrictions on Iran if he certifies that such action advances U.S. national security interests and that Iran is fully complying with existing agreements.

Florida Rep. Radel US Ospreys delivering aid checks into rehab FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Florida Republican Rep. Henry “Trey” Radel, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of cocaine possession and received a year’s probation, said Thursday he has checked himself into a rehabilitation center.

The freshman lawmaker said in a statement that he is seeking treatment and counseling in a Florida center for his drug and alcohol abuse.

“It is my hope, through this process, I will come out a better man,” Radel said.

“I will work hard to gain back the trust and support of my constituents, friends and most importantly, my family.”

On Wednesday, Radel called a late-night press conference to announce that he is taking a leave of absence from Congress and donating his salary to charity.

“I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses for what I’ve done,” he told reporters. “I have let down our country. I’ve let down our constituents. I’ve let down my family, including my wife. And even though he doesn’t know it, I’ve let down my 2-year-old son.”

The 37-year-old lawmaker said he takes responsibility for what he did.

At a court hearing earlier Wednesday in Washington, Radel told a judge, “I’ve hit a bottom where I realize I need help” in acknowledging that he purchased 3.5 grams of cocaine from an undercover police officer.

As part of the plea agreement, Radel admitted he agreed to buy the cocaine for $250 in a Washington neighborhood on Oct. 29.

‘Monster’ cosmic blast zips

by Earth WASHINGTON (AP) — Astronomers call it the monster. It was the biggest and brightest cosmic explosion ever witnessed.

Had it been closer, Earth would have been toast.

Because the blast was 3.7 billion light-years away, mankind was spared. But orbiting telescopes got the fireworks show of a lifetime in April.

The only bigger display astronomers know of was the Big Bang that created the universe, and no one was around to see that.

What happened was a gamma ray burst, an explosion that happens when a massive star dies, collapses into a brand-new black hole, creates a supernova and ejects energetic radiation that is as bright as can be as it travels across the universe at the speed of light.

NASA telescopes in orbit have been seeing these types of bursts for more than two decades, spotting one every couple of days. But this one was special. It set records, according to four studies published Thursday in the journal Science.

It flooded NASA instruments with five times the energy as its nearest competitor, a blast in 1999, said University of Alabama at Huntsville astrophysicist Rob Preece, author of one of the studies.

It started with a star that has 20 to 30 times the mass of our sun, but is only a couple of times bigger in width, so it is incredibly dense. It exploded in a certain violent way.

In general, gamma ray bursts are “the most titanic explosions in the universe,” and the one witnessed last spring was so big some of the telescope instruments hit their peak, Preece said. It was far stronger and lasted longer than previous ones.

“I call it the monster,” Preece said. And he wasn’t alone. One of the other studies, not written by Preece, used the word “monster” in its title, unusual language for a scientific report.

One of the main reasons this was so bright was that relative to the thousands of other gamma ray bursts astronomers have seen, the monster was pretty close, even at 3.7 billion light-years.

A light-year is almost 6 trillion miles.

Most of the bursts NASA telescopes have seen have been twice as distant as this one. Other explosions could be this big, but are so much farther away, they don’t seem so bright when they get to Earth, the studies’ authors say.

Astronomers say it’s incredibly unlikely that a gamma ray burst — especially a big one like this — could go off in our galaxy, near us. Harvard’s Avi Loeb, who wasn’t part of the studies, put the odds at at least 1 in 10 million.

‘Cops,’ Spike TV call themselves a happy match LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Cops” and Spike TV are having a mutual love affair, in a bad-boys manner of speaking.

The documentary-style crime series has found the freedom to be edgier since moving to cable from its 25-year broadcast TV home on Fox. And Spike, which decided it needed to grow beyond its young male target audience, has seen a hoped-for increase in female and older viewers that it attributes in part to “Cops” joining its schedule in September.

“Cops” will be on the beat for at least another season, with Spike ordering 22 more episodes from creator John Langley’s production company. It is among TV’s longest-running series, to Langley’s amazement — and perhaps to the dismay of those trying to shake its catchy “Bad Boys” theme song from their mental playlists.

“I’m as shocked as anyone. I had no idea that this show would endure as long as it has. I just wanted to do what I thought was a good show,” he said, one that was rejected by every network until Fox signed on.

When Langley and Fox decided by what he calls “mutual agreement” to end their long relationship and Spike President Kevin Kay approached him about moving there, Langley initially resisted.

“I said, ‘Listen, Kevin, I’m not ready to reinvent ‘Cops.’ If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and I don’t want some 30-year-old TV executive telling me how to do the show.”

“I want ‘Cops.’ I don’t want anything but ‘Cops,’”

This TV publicity image released by Fox shows police officers in Hillsborough, Fla., interrogating two occupants of a car for suspicious drug activity in

was Kay’s reply, according to Langley, along with a vow to keep lower-echelon network suits out of the picture.

The series hasn’t abandoned its bread-andbutter action format, videotaping law enforcement officers from around the country as they engage in car chases, drug busts, domestic disputes and whatever other trouble the day or night brings.

But the tone of “Cops” has changed somewhat since leaving the realm of federally restricted broadcasting, Langley said: Spike is more liberal about language, nudity and allowing brand names to be shown on-screen.

“This is purely a

documentary series about real life. However, Fox had me blurring 7-Eleven stores because they viewed it as product placement,” he said.

Fox declined comment on Langley’s remarks.

The practice of favoring sponsors is not unusual for commercial-based networks.

Spike does have its own standards to adhere to, Langley said, including a ban on certain expletives and the common TV exclusion of the use of “Jesus Christ” as an exclamation.

But the channel’s audience is accepting of a somewhat more raw “Cops” and the show has performed as anticipated, Kay said.

With it and other strong original series including

an episode of “Cops.” The Saturday night television fixture is leaving Fox after 25 years to move to the Spike network.

“Bar Rescue” and “Ink Master,” Spike saw a 26 percent year-to-year growth in third-quarter prime-time viewership among adults 18 to 49. It was the biggest audience increase since 2009, the channel said.

“Cops” also brought along its more evenly split male-female viewership, compared with some Spike shows that have drawn a male audience exceeding 70 percent, Kay said, especially martial arts programming that “chased away the women.”

“Being in the young-male business is not all it’s cracked up to be” when it comes to revenue, he said. “But as we’ve broadened out, we haven’t lost the young male viewer-

ship but gained ratings.”

Over the years, “Cops” has drawn fire from critics who say it shows street crime without putting it in a broader context of contributing social conditions.

Langley doesn’t see it that way for the pioneering show that broke ground for reality TV, with all that genre’s real and staged incarnations.

“One of the things that truly gives me a kick is that 100 years from now I can envision somebody looking back at the video archive from the 20th and 21st century and saying, ‘Let’s study human psychology and crime and human behavior vis-a-vis this show called ‘Cops,’” he said.

Monty Python’s reunion show in July at London LONDON (AP) — And now for something completely different: A comeback show from the Monty Python gang, reuniting some four decades since they last performed on a British stage.

The veteran comedy group said Thursday they are staging a one-off show at London’s O2 arena in July, which they promised will include “a little comedy, a lot of pathos, some music and a tiny bit of ancient sex.”

Terry Gilliam joked that the five surviving Pythons — Terry Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and himself — decided to do the show “to try to remind ourselves that we are funny and important and famous.”

“The important thing is we are going to be in front of 15,000 people all listening to every word we say, unlike our home

life which is lonely and sad,” he told The Associated Press.

“That is the only reason we’re doing the show, because we’ve all become so depressed over the years that our wives don’t find us interesting, our children don’t even laugh at us anymore.”

The five delighted reporters with gags and jokes, sitting behind the wrong name cards and answering questions addressed to another member. They also made plenty of references to their advanced age, saying medical attendants will be present during the show, which has the working title “One down, five to go.”

That’s in reference to the sixth member, Graham Chapman, who died of cancer in 1989.

The Pythons said the London show will include animation, material that had never been performed live before, and some of their best-loved sketches — including the “dead parrot” and the “crunchy frog” skits from their heyday.

But Cleese said he wouldn’t reprise his “Ministry of Silly Walks” performance, because he now has an artificial knee and hip.

In this 1946 file photo originally provided by RKO Pictures Inc., legendary actor James Stewart as George Bailey, center, is reunited with his wife played by actress Donna Reed, third from left, and family during the last scene of Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life.”

Paramount: ‘Wonderful Life’ sequel has no wings LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fans outraged that a sequel to a beloved holiday film is in the works are no longer out in the cold.

A spokeswoman for Paramount Pictures, which owns the rights to “It’s a Wonderful Life,” said Wednesday that the studio would fight a group of producers who are working on a follow-up to the 1946 holiday classic. Directed by Frank Capra, the film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a desperate family man who imagines during Christmastime what his town would be like if he’d never been born.

“No project relating to ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ can proceed without a license from Paramount,” the studio noted in a statement after Star Partners and Hummingbird Productions announced their sequel plans Monday. “To date, these individuals have not obtained any of the necessary rights, and we would take all appropriate steps to protect those rights.”

The Internet collectively groaned this week when Bob Farnsworth, president of Nashville, Tenn.-based Hummingbird Productions, and Allen J. Schwalb, president of Orlando, Fla.-based Star Partners, unveiled their pitch for “It’s a Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story,” a follow-up that would focus on Bailey’s unlikeable grandson.

“This can’t be real,” many tweeted.

“Maybe George Bailey should have killed himself after all,” wrote one blogger.

Soon celebrities were chiming in: “I don’t know if they have a title yet, but if not, I have a suggestion. I would call it ‘It’s a Terrible Idea,’” joked Jimmy Kimmel.

“Stop messing with classics,

people! What’s next? ‘Gone with the Wind 2’?” pondered Andy Cohen.

Farnsworth and Schwalb said the film would star Karolyn Grimes, who played Bailey’s daughter in the original film, as an angel who comes to the aid of her nephew. They also said they were in talks with other surviving cast members to return. The producers estimated it would cost between $25 and $32 million, far less than many Hollywood remakes and sequels.

Apparently, Farnsworth and Schwalb, who did not return messages seeking comment for this story, forgot one important detail: They didn’t ask the film’s owner for legal permission. Farnsworth previously told The Hollywood Reporter trade publication that the rights to “It’s a Wonderful Life” were in the public domain.

Not quite.

While a lapsed copyright led TV stations in the 1970s through early 1990s to repeatedly broadcast the film, Paramount has controlled the rights for the past 14 years, after it acquired Republic Pictures as part of its purchase of Spelling Entertainment in 1999.

Paramount has since licensed the film to NBC, which airs it sparingly during the holidays.

Farnsworth and Schwalb not only lacked the blessing of Paramount — and fans everywhere — their proposed idea for a sequel also isn’t supported by the family of Frank Capra, who died in 1991.

Capra’s son, Tom Capra, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the family hadn’t been contacted by Farnsworth and Schwalb about the sequel, a project they believe their father would have never approved.

Dow Jones tops 16,000 for first time in history Cloudy with rain expected all day. Highs will be in the upper 40s. Tonight’s low will be 28. Saturday will be partly cloudy and colder with daytime highs in the low 30s. There is a chance of precipitation. Overnight low will drop into the teens. Partly sunny Sunday and cold with a high of 28 and a low of 21.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 16,000 for the first time Thursday as the blue-chip index races toward its best year in a decade.

The Dow has been on fire lately, propelled higher by a combination of solid corporate earnings, a steadily strengthening economy and easy-money policies from the Federal Reserve.

Since the start of the year, the Dow is up 22 percent and has now topped three 1,000 point milestones in 10 months. It eclipsed 14,000 in February and 15,000 in May. If it holds onto its gains, it would notch its strongest performance since 2003.

“The market has come a long way,” said Dan Seiver, an economist at San Diego State University. “It’s a sign of just how far financial markets have recovered.”

The Dow has more than tripled since its bear market low in March 2009.

Back then, the country

was in the worst downturn since the Great Depression, the housing market had collapsed and individual investors had abandoned stocks.

Now, with the economy recovering and confidence returning, small investors are coming back in.

“People are getting out of bonds into stocks,” said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities. “We’re in the early stages of a recovery.”

The Dow rose 109.17 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 16,009.99 Thursday.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 14.48 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,795.85.

The Nasdaq composite rose 47.88 points, or 1.2 percent, to 3,969.15.

In a sign that investors are taking on more risk, small-company stocks rose at a much faster pace than the rest of the market. The Russell 2000 index jumped 19.83 points, or 1.8 percent, to 1,119.62.

The Labor Department

reported before the market opened that applications for unemployment benefits dropped last week to the lowest level since September. The number of applications is close to where it was before the Great Recession.

General Motors rose after the U.S. government said it expects to sell its remaining stake in the company by the end of the year. The Treasury Department got shares after bailing out GM five years ago, but once its sells, the automaker will be free of restrictions on executive pay that came with the bailout. It would also be free to pay dividends if it chooses.

GM gained 43 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $38.12. The stock is up 32 percent this year.

“Having the Treasury out is probably something that is going to be positive for the shares,” said Jeff Morris, head of U.S. equities at Standard Life Investments.

Senate votes to limit ability to hold back appointees WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats eased the way for swift approval of President Barack Obama’s current and future nominees on Thursday, voting unilaterally to overturn decades of Senate precedent and undermine Republicans’ ability to block final votes.

The 52-48 vote to undercut venerable filibuster rules on presidential appointees capped more than a decade of struggle in which presidents of both parties complained about delays in confirming appointees, particularly to the federal courts.

At the White House,

Obama applauded the vote.

He said Republicans had used delaying tactics “as a reckless and relentless tool to grind all business to a halt.”

“And that’s not what our founders intended. And it’s certainly not what our country needs right now,” the president said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who launched the effort, accused Republicans of “unbelievable, unprecedented obstruction” of Obama’s selections to fill court vacancies and other offices.

“It’s time to change the Senate, before this institution becomes obsolete,” he

His Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, accused Democrats of exercising raw power and said they would regret it when political fortunes switched.

He likened the effort to the president’s since-discredited promise that

Child porn operation uncovered INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Indianapolis say they’ve dismantled a pornography ring that exploited nearly 100 children around the world and used sophisticated data encryption software to evade detection for 12 years.

They said Thursday that 11 men from seven states including Indiana have been convicted or are in custody.

Others are charged or under investigation in Canada, Switzerland and other nations.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve DeBrota says the victims were mostly boys ranging from toddlers to teenagers. He says members of the ring mostly traded pornography instead of producing it. The largest individual collection had 18 terabytes, or 18 trillion bytes, of images.

Prosecutors say some ring members held information technology jobs, and more tech-savvy members of the group coached the less tech-savvy in the secrecy needed to evade detection.

Barons, Chargers prep in scrimmage DeKalb junor Cole Hartman drives to the basket as he’s being defended by West Noble junior Kyler Warble during Thursday’s scrimmage in Waterloo.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix III will miss the team’s final two regular-season games and its bowl game after having season-ending knee surgery Thursday.

Nix told the media Thursday night that it was a hard to miss the rest of the season, but said he decided to have the surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee after talking to doctors with the school and getting a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews.

“They think it’s best for my health,” he said.

The 6-foot-2, 349-pound senior who didn’t play as a freshman has been projected as a possible first-round draft pick. He hasn’t decided whether to turn pro or return to Notre Dame.

He had been playing with the injury all season, saying the knee first bothered him in the national championship game against Alabama last January. Earlier this season

he also was diagnosed with tendinitis in the same knee.

“We just came to the realization that he’s tried really hard to make it work the best he could. He just couldn’t go,” coach Brian Kelly said.

Kelly said doctors also performed platelet rich plasma therapy on the knee Thursday to try to help with the healing.

Nix said he felt a sharp pain during the game against Pittsburgh on Nov. 9. He said pain became worse during the off week as he walked around campus. He had a hard time sitting in classes and sleeping because of the pain. “It’s been like that all year, but it worsened,” he said.

The decision was especially difficult for Nix because the Irish (7-3) play BYU (7-3) on Saturday and his father, who has never attended a game at Notre Dame, and mother are going to be at the game.

Young Trine women learning the ropes

BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — A young Trine University women’s basketball team is going through some growing pains to start its 2013-14 season in an 0-3 start.

The Thunder had three key graduation losses from a 14-12 team that qualified for the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament for the first time in the era of the league’s four-team postseason tournament format: guard Megan Loveberry and forwards Sydney Spragg and Haley Killingbeck. That’s three of the top four scorers from last year.

Spragg had a breakout season at 15.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Loveberry was a gritty player who averaged 9 points, 6.1 rebounds and a little over two assists and two steals per game.

Killingbeck, who was a shot-blocking presence with three-point range during her Trine career, is an assistant coach in the Prairie Heights High School girls basketball program.

Second-year Trine coach Steve Mix is working to find where to put his players so they can best be successful. It’s a guard-heavy roster. The Thunder’s tallest regular is 5-foot-10 junior Amy Newell, who returns to the hardwood after missing all of last season with a knee injury and is capable of being a slasher to the

basket.

Mix is seeing a lot of bright

spots. But he knows his team has to be better defensively and

get to the foul line more to be successful. Trine is averaging 18.7 free-throw attempts per game and is only making 60.7 percent of those attempts so far (34-56). With more of an officiating emphasis on hand-checking throughout all of college basketball, Mix expects the Thunder to get to the line far more than what they have.

“We are going to get beat on the boards, but we can get a little bit closer by boxing out better.

When the ball goes up, we’ve got to find somebody,” Mix said.

“We have to get our timing on offensive plays down, and that is difficult for younger players at first. When the ball is here, when do you make your cut?

“We should have won the Wilmington game (a 69-65 last Friday), but we missed too many free throws and seven or eight layups. Franklin was in our realm, SEE TRINE WOMEN, PAGE B2

Moose Lodge helps Fremont wrestling Fremont Moose Lodge No. 2387 recently made a donation of $2,000 to the Fremont High School wrestling program so it can purchase a practice mat. “The Moose is all about kids and seniors and we want to help out as much as possible,” Fremont Moose Lodge administrator Jerry Champion said.

Pictured in the front row, from left, are FHS seniors Adam Dossett, Brock Baker, David Schmucker,

Brad Owen and Tylor Willms, and Eagle wrestler Hunter Kline as the Eagle mascot. Standing in the back row, from left, are Champion and fellow Fremont Moose Lodge members J.P.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Nik Stauskas scored 24 points, Caris LeVert had 20 and No. 14 Michigan made a tournament-record 14 3-pointers in beating scrappy Long Beach State 85-61 Thursday in the first round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Michigan led by 18 in the first half before the margin was trimmed to 10 with less than 9 minutes to play. But the Wolverines (3-1) were able to hold on thanks to all the long-range jumpers. Stauskas and LeVert hit four 3s apiece.

The win sets up a matchup with Florida State in the Tip-Off’s final game today. The Seminoles defeated No. 10 Virginia Commonwealth 85-67 on Thursday, A.J. Spencer and Mike Caffey each had 12 points to lead Long Beach State (1-4).

The Wolverines connected on 14 of 30 attempts from beyond the arc and forced 16 turnovers in their second game since the return of forward Mitch McGary from a back injury. He didn’t start, and played sparingly in finishing with six points.

Prairie Heights striving for more

BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — With a leading player and an experienced supporting cast, the Prairie Heights boys basketball team could be one of the top teams in the Northeast Corner Conference.

But the Panthers will need to grow in many areas to be where they want to be.

“We have a great core. We have a lot of experience coming back,” seventh-year Heights coach Brett Eltzroth said. “But last year in one phrase was we were consistent at inconsistency. We learned a lot of hard lessons.

“I think all the guys had pretty good summers. We’re coming in with more of a purpose in everything we do. The older kids are teaching the younger kids. I’m seeing a lot more fire than we did last year.

“We’re going to have to pay a price,” Eltzroth added. “We want to push the ball and take quick shots. But we have to find more ways to win, and that will happen with maturity.”

The Panthers were 11-12 last season, and in a three-way tie for fourth place in the Northeast Corner Conference at 6-4. Seven players return from that team who played in at least 19 games last season.

Five of this year’s seven seniors played regular varsity roles for Prairie Heights last season: forward Zach Shepard and guards Kyler West, Dylan Stayner, Corey Johnson and Bobby Blum.

This battle-tested group of seniors will give plenty of support to top Panther player Jacob Heller, a 6-foot-3 junior forward. Heller averaged 19.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game last season. He shot nearly 50 percent from the field (142-285), including 36 percent from three-point range (20-55), and made 70 percent of his free throws. He attempted more free throws (196) than his teammates combined to make

(155) last season.

“Jacob has done a lot for us,” Eltzroth said. “He’s very skilled. He works at it a lot. More importantly, he’s more mature.”

Shepard’s basketball ability is catching up to his prowess in the pole vault and on the gridiron.

The 6-2 All-State pole vaulter and two-time All-State honorable mention defensive back in football has developed his offensive skills greatly over the offseason and very much holds his own defensively in the post. He averaged 7.5 points and four rebounds per game last season. He also shot 59 percent from the field (65-111).

West runs the point and averaged 6.3 points and 2.2 rebounds per contest last year. He

was second on the team in assists with 39. Stayner plays bigger than 5-8 and averaged 3.5 points and 2.7 boards per game last season.

Eltzroth wants his team to not miss a beat on the occasions that Heller is on the bench. He’s looking for more go-to guys to develop.

“It’s been fun juggling different lineups. They’ve been thrown into a mix of different situations. We have the potential to have a great supporting cast,” Eltzroth said.

“We want people to be a spark off the bench. That is something that has died out some in today’s basketball.

“We want to focus on the team on the floor and be a team of the moment.”

Tuckerman and Spencer Lake will play key roles for the Panthers.

Junior guard Cassten Everidge is another letterwinner returning.

Sophomore guards Cody Bachelor and Austin Penick are coming off good offseasons and could potentially play key varsity roles.

Juniors Austin Beiswanger and Tanner Terry will split time between the varsity and junior varsity teams.

A new mix of teams have been added to the Panther schedule after getting out of the Carroll Shootout between the holidays. PH has been in that tournament the past couple of years and it has been largely made up of Class 4A schools.

The shootout games have been replaced with Bronson

(Mich.), DeKalb and Woodlan.

Eltzroth was an assistant coach for the Barons. Heights travels to Michigan to take on the Vikings on Dec. 17, hosts the Warriors on Jan. 21 and heads to DeKalb on Feb. 4.

“It’s great to be talked about in the mix (at the top of the NECC).

But we have work to do and have to put people in the right spots.

We need to have better quality possessions,” Eltzroth said.

“It’s always been our goal to play our best at the end of the year.”

The Panthers start their season on Nov. 30 at Garrett. Then they begin NECC play six days later on Dec. 6 at home against Fairfield.

Lakewood Park in rebuilding mode

BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — Chad Hibbard may have picked the wrong year to take over the Lakewood Park Christian boys basketball program.

With the Panthers’ top nine scorers from last year’s 17-6 team having departed the program (eight to graduation, one to transfer), Hibbard and LPC are in full rebuilding mode this season. But Hibbard — who has been an assistant at Lakewood Park the past four years — prefers to think his team is reloading instead.

“I know a lot of people, with all that we lost, probably aren’t expecting a lot from us,” Hibbard said.

“Our soccer team surprised a lot of people, and I know basketball is a different animal. But I think that gave some confidence to our guys that, even though some big names are gone, they can step up and not see this season as rebuilding. We have a core group that can still be very competitive and challenge some teams.”

Hibbard replaces Marc Davidson, who left to take over at Blackhawk Christian. Before coming to the rural Auburn school five years ago, Hibbard was a junior varsity/assistant coach at Elkhart Christian for three years and also spent five years as a junior varsity/assistant coach in New Jersey. This is his first varsity head coaching job.

“It has always been a goal of mine to coach and ultimately become a varsity coach,” Hibbard said. “I’m very excited and thankful.”

Hibbard’s first task will be to find scorers, with 97 percent of last year’s offensive production no longer on the team. The Panthers’ top returning scorer is 225-pound senior center Andrew Johnson, who averaged 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds per game while seeing action in only nine contests last year.

“We’re going to need him to throw his weight around and bang with people down low,” Hibbard said. “He’ll handle the responsibility of playing with the bigger centers we play.”

The returning player who played in the most games last year is senior guard/ forward Hunter Yoder (0.9 ppg in 13 games last year).

“We need him to be great for us,” Hibbard said. “He is a phenomenal athlete.

We call him a freak athlete, the type of guy that could play all three positions if necessary.”

The only other returning player that saw varsity time last year is senior point guard Noah Gardner (0.7 ppg in seven games).

“You can tell he’s put a lot of time in offensively and we’ll need him to direct things and just make good decisions, whether it’s shooting, driving or passing,” Hibbard said.

coach Wes Rowlader, Keegan Fetters, Jared Gerke, Hunter Yoder, Andrew Johnson, Quinton Taylor, Austin Mann, Brock Hoover, Will Hathaway and head coach Chad Hibbard.

There are three other players competing for spots in the starting lineup: junior Jared Gerke, junior Drake Donaldson (a transfer from Carroll) and junior Austin Mann.

“Jared’s incredibly fast, an incredible athlete and has a tremendous motor,” Hibbard said. “He’s a phenomenal competitor and we can put him on anyone and he’ll do a great job.

“Drake will play some point, some shooting guard but he’ll come right in and make an impact on our team. He’s a good athlete that can shoot the ball and handle it well. Austin has a very high potential to be a big impact player for us as well in terms of scoring on

both ends of the floor.”

Rounding out the varsity rotation are sophomore Bradey Gerke and senior Tyler Caulk.

“Brady’s got all the athleticism you want from a varsity player,” Hibbard said.

“He’s a tremendous slasher, a great penetrator and important in our pressing.”

Other underclassmen with the potential to crack the varsity rotation are junior Dylan Tatman and a handful of freshmen and sophomores: Keegan Fetters, Brock Hoover, Quinton Taylor and Will Hathaway.

“As the season progresses, I do believe some have the potential to help us,” Hibbard said. “I do

feel like there’s some good, young talent that’s coming up.”

Despite all the roster turnover, Hibbard and the Panthers have no intention of changing their style of play from their full-court press attack.

Hibbard coached the highly successful JV team the past couple years, and believes that could lead to some rewards this season.

“The varsity level’s very different but we’re going to be very athletic, quick and fast,” Hibbard said.

“There’s no question that, defensively, we’re going to have to be very, very good to be in games at the end. Offensively, it’s not that we’re not capable, but we don’t have tremendous amounts of knockdown shooters.

“I’m hopeful that it won’t take too many games to get that experience and feel comfortable but we have a bunch of guys that will give 100 percent effort and be scrappy and help us overcome some of those issues.”

Hibbard said the team’s grittiness and athleticism on defense is the team’s best strength.

“We will get after it with people and try to turn people over and speed up the game,” Hibbard said.

“We don’t give up. We will keep going until the end.

That’ll be huge for us.”

Lakewood Park opens its season at home Tuesday against Hamilton.

only allowing 64 points (Tuesday in a 64-41), but we gave up too many threes.

If we can defend, we can be really good. It’s also a matter of believing in ourselves.”

Sophomore guard Alivia Recker has elevated her game. She is averaging 9.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. She averaged 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game last year.

“Recker has played very

well,” Mix said.

Junior guard Kelsey Henselmeier lead Trine at 10 points per contest. She averaged 6.6 points, four rebounds and nearly two assists per game, and Mix sees her to be an important defensive player for the squad.

Newell has averaged nine points and six rebounds per game. She transferred from the University of Toledo and made a big impact on offense last spring for

Trine’s softball team.

“Amy hasn’t played in over two years, so she is knocking the rust off.

She’s slowly getting there,” Mix said. “She had a high basketball IQ and is a good shooter up to 15 feet. She’s improving her ability to drive little bit by little bit.

We just need to figure out where she can score.”

Senior Lauren Tait will be a key player inside. She’s aggressive and rebounds well for only being 5-8.

But she has only played in one of the first three games because of a broken nose.

Guard Megan Engle and forward Liz Hartley are the other seniors on the roster.

Mix wants to get his newcomers actively in the rotation. That group is led by junior forward Katelyn Sager, a transfer from Salem Community College, and freshman guard Taylor Cole from Shepherd, Mich.

“They are both left-handed,” Mix said.

“Sager can really run the floor and drive to the hoop.

Cole is a nice addition.”

Returning sophomore guard Sarah Miller has been a pleasant surprise to Mix in the early going. Freshmen Laura Rosekrans from Williamston, Mich., and Becky Depp from Geneva, Ohio, will also contribute.

Rosekrans is a good perimeter shooter.

Mix feels his team will be battling for the fourth and final spot in the MIAA

Tournament. Hope and Calvin are once again two of the top teams in NCAA Division III, and the coach feels Olivet has emerged as an upper division team in the conference.

Trine assistant athletic director Andy Rang is Mix’s assistant coach this season.

Rang has extensive experience as a high school head coach, including with the boys at Eastside and most notably with the girls at Fort Wayne South Side.

Winston volunteers DNA to police TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — There was a lot of fingerpointing Thursday in the sexual assault investigation involving Florida State’s Jameis Winston after a DNA report linking the quarterback to the alleged victim was leaked to the media.

Timothy Jansen, Winston’s attorney, and State Attorney Willie Meggs held press conferences within minutes of one another. Jansen insinuated that the leak came from Meggs’ office, an assertion the state attorney denied.

Though it is still unclear who leaked the information, Jansen did reveal that Winston voluntarily gave a DNA sample to Tallahassee police last week, but said that even if it matches that of the alleged victim it wouldn’t mean his client raped the woman.

Jansen said the sex between Winston and the accuser “absolutely” was consensual,

but then retreated when pressed by reporters who asked him to confirm what he just said.

“I’m not saying that,” Jansen said. “I’m saying the eyewitnesses that were there will verify that any material that was found, or any evidence that was found, is consistent with him (doing) nothing wrong.”

ESPN first reported Wednesday night that Winston’s DNA matched a sample taken from the underwear of the accuser.

Jansen said he has not seen the results of the DNA tests and found out watching television.

“All I know is it’s very suspicious that the only news reporting agency that (State Attorney) Willie Meggs met privately with yesterday in his office was the one that reported that last night on television,” Jansen said. “And that would be ESPN.” Meggs met with the press

minutes after Jansen’s and denied that he — or anyone in his office — released the DNA information to the media. He called the release of the information “problematic.” He said he did not know who the source of information was for ESPN. Tallahassee Police Department spokesman David Northway told The Associated Press that the leak did not come from the police. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement — which did the DNA analysis — said it transmitted the report over a secure network to police and prosecutors.

“From FDLE’s standpoint it was inappropriate to release the forensic information at this time,” said Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the agency.

Meggs, who has been the lead prosecutor in the Tallahassee area for nearly 30 years, also refused to discuss the results or any other “evidence” that was

part of the case. But Meggs did acknowledge that prosecutors have issued subpoenas in order to collect evidence for the ongoing investigation.

Jansen said he’s surprised the DNA results were leaked by law enforcement but, “this DNA has no impact whatsoever on this case. The two eyewitnesses that were present will exonerate” Winston.

Jansen said the DNA of one of the eyewitnesses was also taken in the last week by investigators.

“We’re not surprised (Winston’s) DNA was found,” Jansen said. “We anticipated that would be found. We’ve never ever said he wasn’t there.

We never said any of that.”

Meggs would not answer directly why DNA was taken from one of the witnesses, or whether or not there is a now a possibility of multiple suspects in the case.

Garrett Middle School cage teams split with Central Noble Garrett’s seventh-grade boys basketball team defeated West Noble 26-21 on Tuesday night. Six Locomotives scored in the game, led by Kobe Lucarelli’s nine points. Avery Morrison chipped in eight points to help them even their season record at 1-1.

Garrett’s eighth-grade team lost to Central Noble 28-24. Micah Malcolm led the Locomotives with nine points while Carter Back scored four points, Hayden Greene, Cole Kelham and Dillon McCann all scored three points, and Cameron Smith scored two points.

Red Wings end losing streak DETROIT (AP) — Henrik Zetterberg was credited with the tie-breaking goal in the third period, Gustav Nyquist had two goals and the Detroit Red Wings broke a seven-game game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.

Zetterberg also had two assists and Darren Helm added a goal for Detroit.

Jonas Gustavsson made 24 saves.

Andrej Sekera scored twice and Brett Bellemore got his first NHL goal for Carolina. Justin Peters stopped 43 shots.

Zetterberg was credited with a 5-on-3 power-play goal 8;29 into the third period to break a 2-2 tie when Hurricanes’ captain Eric Staal accidentally kicked the puck into his own net.

A-Rod’s hearing ends NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez’s grievance hearing to overturn his 211-game suspension ended Thursday when both sides rested their cases, a day after the New York Yankees third baseman angrily walked out and decided not to testify in his own defense.

The sides set a schedule to file briefs and reply briefs next month, which will close the record and submit the matter to arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.

His decision on whether to uphold or alter the discipline for the three-time AL MVP likely will be made in January, a person familiar with the proceedings told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.

Rodriguez’s lawyers already are vowing to challenge the ruling in federal court, where judges usually are reticent to overturn an arbitration decision unless there is a finding the arbitrator was biased, exceeded his authority or failed to comply with the rules agreed to by the parties.

The exact timing of a decision is uncertain. Baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement states the arbitrator shall make “all reasonable efforts” to close the record in time to permit a decision within 25 days of the start of the hearing. But in this case, the hearing began Sept. 30, making that timetable impossible to meet.

After the arbitrator renders his decision, the written opinion is to be issued within 30 days. It is unclear if Horowitz will issue his written opinion simultaneously with his decision.

The timing of the case could complicate planning for the Yankees, who don’t know if they will have to pay Rodriguez his $25 million salary and are unsure whether they will need a different starting third baseman.

Rodriguez was suspended by MLB on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of baseball’s drug policy and labor agreement stemming from the league’s investigation of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic in Florida. The players’ association filed a grievance, and because Rodriguez was a first-time offender of the drug agreement, the discipline automatically was stayed pending a resolution of the grievance.

Kennedy: Grief, loss can still take us unawares

BY KEVIN BEURET

For those of us who lived through them, the days from Nov. 22-25, 1963, have left us with certain memories that will haunt us for the rest of our lives — the president, relaxed and smiling, playing the friendly crowds at Dallas’s Love Field; Jackie, shy, lovely, only just recovering from the death of her infant son the summer before; the midnightblue presidential Lincoln; Mrs. Kennedy’s raspberry suit and pillbox hat; and, of course, the first lady’s bouquet of AP red roses, President and Mrs. Kennedy which would presently be drenched in the blood of the chief executive himself.

The images following those three shots in Dealey Plaza filled a nation with horror and helpless anger: Mrs. Kennedy flinging herself onto the trunk of the presidential limousine, trying, as it turned out, to retrieve a portion of her husband’s skull; the weeping crowds at Parkland Hospital; the His cool self-satisfied smirk of Lee Harvey Oswald, protesting imperturbability during his innocence; and later that the Cuban missile night at Andrews Air Force Base, the sight of Mrs. crisis suggests that Kennedy, her elegant suit John Kennedy was a and stockings grotesquely adorned with her husband’s more substantial man blood. than even his admirers The following three days of non-commercial imagined. television flooded our minds with still more sounds and images — the solemn crowds filing past the president’s coffin in the Capitol rotunda as the funeral march from Beethoven’s Eroica played softly behind the network feed; Oswald, the president’s likely assassin, crying out in terror and pain as Jack Ruby shot him in plain view of a live television audience; Charles De Gaulle towering over the other mourners at Kennedy’s graveside service; and the little gaffe in the playing of “Taps” that sounded almost like a sob.

About a year and a half after John F. Kennedy’s death, I wrote a monograph on his life and death in which I referred to the president as “almost Olympian,” for so he still seemed to the young man of 20 that I was then! I doubt that any but the most moonstruck of the president’s admirers would use that term to describe him today. The tawdry revelations of his serial adulteries, the breathtaking corruption of Joseph Kennedy, the president’s father, and his suspected role in rigging the primary vote in West Virginia, the crumbling of a media-created Camelot that never existed — all of these have done their part to dim a nation’s once fervently-held faith in President Kennedy as a living summation of all that was glamorous and good in those distant days.

And yet, in a mysterious way, when we look directly back at the assassination, ignoring the sometimes tortuous over-examination of what we have learned about Kennedy in the intervening half-century, a sense of grief and loss can still take us unawares. More than we ever suspected, President Kennedy, young as he was, seemed like a father to us and to the country he served. When he died, it was not only the man that we mourned, but likewise the living symbol, as nearly all presidents are, of a leader who has our back and does everything he can to keep us and our nation safe.

At this improbable distance, we can muse about the things the president never had a chance to do. When we look at the matter in that light, it’s obvious that President Kennedy achieved little of his admirable agenda. Still, there are hints that he might have been a highly effective president had he lived. His proposal of a nuclear test ban treaty, his founding of the Peace Corps, his rumored opposition to further involvement in Vietnam, and, especially, his cool imperturbability during the Cuban missile crisis, all suggest that John Kennedy was a more substantial man than even his admirers imagined.

In the end, all we can say of the assassination is that it happened. For many — of whom I am one — John F. Kennedy’s death now seems like a shattering conclusion to the relative innocence of the ’50s and ’60s — an unanticipated tidal wave of disbelief and horror that swept us into an age of bewildering violence and insecurity. Looking back at those times, we can only hope that one day we can rekindle the trust we once had in our government, and the love and admiration with which we regarded our leaders. And today, even though we recognize the all too human flaws in John F. Kennedy’s character, we can still grieve for the foreshortened life of this charismatic man, and for the thwarted promise of the presidency that died with him.

‘We all clung to one another on Pleasant Street’

BY JOE HORNETT

I wish I could tell you that many profound things took place on Nov. 22, 1963. I also wish I could tell you that I remember every detail of that day and the days that followed. But I can’t.

I was a fourth-grade student at what was then Southside Elementary School. Shortly after lunch, our teacher told the class that the president had been shot. Soon thereafter she addressed us once again … this time with tears in her eyes … and told us that the president was dead. She went on to say that school was ending early so that we could all go home and be with our families.

I remember the looks on the faces of my mom and dad … looks of sorrow … looks of concern … looks asking questions for which there were no answers. I remember my first experience with never-ending television coverage on every channel … but our TV set was mostly glued to Walter Cronkite. I remember seeing a man shot while in the hands of police … really shot … not just some movie stunt. I remember the incessant sound of drums in a cadence that still rattles through my head to this day.

I remember watching Mrs. Kennedy kissing her husband’s casket while Caroline reached up under the flag that draped it … as if to try and touch her father for one last time. I

remember the salute of little John as his father’s procession passed him by. And I remember the sound of the guns at the cemetery and the lighting of the flame … the flame that now glows 50 years later.

I suspect that anyone alive at that time has many of those same memories.

But what was different about living through this event at 436 Pleasant Street in Kendallville? I hate to admit it, but as a 10-year-old, much of life that weekend seemed to proceed as mostly normal. While our parents huddled around TV sets, we played touch football in the vacant field right across the street. When we tired of football, we turned to games of tag and capture the flag. After dark we moved on to hide ’n’ seek.

It wasn’t that we weren’t shocked by what had happened in Dallas and we couldn’t help but be somewhat awestruck by everything that took place thereafter. From our parents and how they acted in those days, it was clear that these were times like no other. I’m pretty sure none of us truly understood or appreciated the meaning of those days. But we all clung to one another on Pleasant Street and that is how we got through those days.

In so many respects, the day that President Kennedy died became the day that innocence died in America.

But it didn’t die in Kendallville. As kids we hung together. Parents still

• gathered on the street to talk about events of the day. Families took turns being surrogate parents for every other family’s children at one time or another. There is an old saying that goes, “We have all been warmed by fires we did not build. And we have all drank from wells we did not dig.” In other words, take care of those who follow, as those who went before have taken care of you … cling to one another.

Living in Kendallville at that time was truly a blessing … one of those small town things you learn to appreciate more with each passing year. I can’t think of the tragedy in Dallas without recalling the feelings of comfort and security I felt because of where I was at and who I was with. In so many respects, I think President Kennedy would smile at that legacy.

A 1972 EAST NOBLE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE, JOSEPH B. HORNETT works for Purdue Research Foundation.

Nov. 22, 1963: More than one historic figure died Nov. 22 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of three highly influential people: Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy and C.S. Lewis.

Although Kennedy — in his life and especially in his death — is the most famous of the trio, all three had an impressive impact during their lives and in the decades since.

Kennedy was a war hero whose family connections, wealth ERIC and political aspirations led to SCHANSBERG holding office in the U.S. House, the Senate and the White House. His assassination at age 46 is considered one of the most memorable moments in 20th century American history. Huxley and Lewis lived into their 60s, didn’t have memorable deaths, and are not as well known — but have arguably had a bigger influence on the world.

Huxley was an author whose most famous novel, “Brave New World,” is routinely rated in the top 100 of all time. “Brave New World” covers topics from eugenics to euthanasia and a state-enforced class system.

George Orwell (“Animal Farm” and “1984”) and Huxley have served as prophets of a technological, totalitarian and bureaucratic society. The thoughts behind these books have influenced generations of readers in a way that is difficult to measure.

Lewis was a literature professor whose prolific writing ranged from academic to popular. He used a wide variety of genres: children’s literature, science fiction, allegory, poetry and non-fiction Christian “apologetics.”

His “Chronicles of Narnia” — a

•

seven-book series that combines a children’s story with strong Christian references — has been a staple of family reading for decades, selling more than 100 million copies.

His books on apologetics are more popular than ever.

From the “modern” logical approach of Aldous “Mere Christianity” Huxley to the “post-modern” narrative approach of “The Great Divorce,” Lewis showed remarkable literary range as he tried to make the Christian faith reasonable and compelling — for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

C.S. Lewis Lewis’ emphasis on “mere” Christianity is also important — focusing on the “mere” essentials of the faith, with its resulting pluralism and strong but broadly-defined unity.

As for Kennedy, beyond his status as a historical figure and a cultural touchstone, his political impact was also significant. From one angle, we can see echoes of Kennedy in Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Both were effective with television and popular with the general public. And Kennedy’s muscular (if not always effective) anti-communist foreign policy and “supply-side” economics served as precursors to Reagan’s policies.

Kennedy reduced corporate income tax rates and cut personal income tax rates dramatically across the board.

(Kennedy reduced the top tax bracket from 91 percent to 70 percent; Reagan then reduced it from 70 percent to 28 percent.) As Reagan, Kennedy noted that in the presence of high tax rates, “the soundest way to raise revenue in

Huxley and Lewis lived into their 60s, didn’t have memorable deaths and are not as well known — but have arguably had a bigger influence on the world.

• the long term is to lower rates.”

Likewise, Kennedy’s most famous inaugural address line — “ask not what your country can do for you” — points to fiscal conservatism and relatively small government, at least by today’s standards.

In these arenas, Kennedy’s distance from the bulk of today’s Democratic Party is noteworthy.

But in other ways, Kennedy was a precursor for those who led the charge for larger government and greater Executive Branch power.

Using techniques made famous by subsequent presidents, JFK (allegedly) got the IRS and the FBI to target and wiretap groups that were hostile to his administration’s goals.

In a speech to the National Press Club as he campaigned for president in 1960, Kennedy forcefully argued against “a restricted concept of the presidency.” As such, his vision for a more powerful presidency governing a more expansive government has been prophetic as well.

This Nov. 22 we should give consideration to the work of all three men. Kennedy’s short presidency left a mixed legacy. But the lives of Huxley and Lewis have a more enduring legacy that should receive more attention.

Woman’s lifestyle putting child at risk DEAR ABBY: My 23-year-old daughter is out of control and has been since she was 16. She has a 2-year-old daughter, but she lives her life on the edge.

She spends her days on the Internet meeting strange men and going out with them in private places. On the weekends, she drops her daughter here and takes off.

She has a history of drug and alcohol abuse and prostitution, but swears she only drinks alcohol now.

I get so worried and upset I find myself yelling at her and trying to prevent her from leaving with these strange men. She thinks I’m trying to control her life when I’m actually trying to save her.

What should I do?

On this date Nov. 22: • In 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot to death during a motorcade in Dallas; Texas Gov. John B. Connally, in the same open car as the president, was seriously wounded. A suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was arrested.

• In 1990, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, having failed to win re-election of the Conservative Party leadership on the first ballot, announced her resignation.

Setting goals helps rein in drinking issue should?

Based on these questions, you may decide it’s time to cut back or stop drinking altogether. Whatever you decide, an informative new e-book by my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Debi A. LaPlante, “Responsible Drinking for ASK Women,” DOCTOR K. can help you make the change. This Dr. Anthony e-book will help identify that Komaroff issues could make it difficult to change, and then introduce strategies to overcome them.

It is available through online retail booksellers.

You’ll start by setting goals.

Do you want to drink less or

•

eliminate alcohol completely?

Do you want to start now or in six months? Do you plan to cut back gradually or stop cold turkey?

You’ll also need to acknowledge why you drink.

For example, many women drink to help cope with stress or conflict. You may have learned that, in the short run, alcohol alleviates uncomfortable feelings and strong emotions. But you can retrain yourself to cope in healthy ways, making it less likely that you’ll turn to alcohol in times of stress.

Finally, don’t underestimate the importance of overall wellness to help prevent relapse and propel long-term change.

Being physically out of shape, for example, is not just a cosmetic issue — you also just don’t feel that well. You don’t have your usual energy; your mind doesn’t seem as sharp. You get sleepy earlier in the day. You’re just not

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a 36-year-old woman. Lately I’ve been drinking more than I used to. How can I rein in my drinking before it becomes a problem?

DEAR READER: Even for people who initially have a healthy relationship with alcohol, things can change over time. So how can you prevent casual drinking from crossing into problem drinking?

First, some basics. A standard drink equals 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor. According to the National Institutes of Health, healthy women should drink no more than three drinks a day and no more than seven drinks a week (an average of one drink per day).

Even if you usually stay within this limit, alcohol could be problematic. For example, how often do you drink until you feel tipsy or drunk? Do you crave alcohol? How often do you drink more than you

B5

yourself.

When you’re in that kind of state, finding the inner discipline to deal with any problem is a challenge. That’s why improving your diet, maintaining healthy sleep habits and exercising regularly can help you achieve and maintain your drinking goals.

I’ve had several patients who never had a problem with alcohol until a very stressful event, such as the loss of a job or the end of a relationship. Almost always their friends tended to drink pretty heavily. But because of the stress, they started to follow their friends when that second or third drink was ordered.

On occasion, people who had never had a drinking problem started drinking alone, and in excess.

Cargo jet lands at wrong airport Women free after 30 years as slaves WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Moments after touching down, the pilot of a cargo-hauling jumbo jet seemed confused in his exchanges with air traffic controllers who had guided his Boeing 747 toward a Kansas Air Force base.

When puzzled controllers told the pilot that he was 9 miles north of his intended destination, he made an unusual admission. “Uh, yes sir, we just landed at the other airport.”

His calm, understated response belied the dangers of the situation: A mammoth jet had just landed on the wrong stretch of concrete, miles from its planned path, in the dark. The runway just happened to be long enough.

As he tried to sort out the situation over the radio, the pilot could be heard mixing up east and west in his notes, acknowledging he could not read his own handwriting and getting distracted from the conversation by “looking at something else.”

The 747, flown by a two-person crew with no passengers, intended to touch down late Wednesday at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, where it was supposed to deliver parts for Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner to a nearby company that makes large sections of the next-generation jet.

Instead, the cargo plane landed to the north, at the smaller Col. James Jabara Airport.

The jet took off again Thursday and within minutes landed at its original destination.

The plane flew into an area where there are three airports with similar runway configurations: the

LONDON (AP) — Three women have been freed after spending 30 years held captive in a south London home, including one woman believed to have spent her entire life in domestic slavery, police announced Thursday.

London’s Metropolitan Police spoke about the rescues after two people — a man and a woman, both 67 — were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of forced labor and domestic servitude.

The arrests came as part of a slavery investigation launched after one of the captives contacted a charity in October to say she was being held against her will along with two others. The AP charity went to the police, the force said.

A Boeing 747 “Dreamlifter” takes off evening at the airport, about 8 miles Those freed on Oct. 25 Thursday, the day after it mistakenly north of its intended destination, are a 69-year-old Malaysian landed at Col.

finished. Police would not speculate on any possible motivation, name the suspects’ nationalities or say if the suspects were a couple.

The revelations raised numerous questions — all still unanswered — about how the women’s ordeal began and why it endured for so long. What brought them to London? What freedoms — if any — did they have? What restrictions and conditions were they were subject to? Did neighbors ever see them, did they ever try to escape?

The women — whose names have not been released — are now safe at an undisclosed location in Britain and have been working with severe trauma experts since their rescue, Hyland said.

It is not known how the women ended up in the house — especially the 30-year-old, who would have had to either been born in the home in the Borough of Lambeth or enter it as an infant, given the police timeline. She appears to have been held in domestic servitude for her entire life, Scotland Yard said.

Hyland said police were contacted in October by Freedom Charity, who told them it had received a call from a woman who said she had been held against her will in London for more than 30 years.

The Irish woman called Freedom Charity from what appears to be an “ordinary house in an ordinary street,” said Aneeta Prem, founder of the charity that promotes awareness of child abuse, forced marriages and honor killings.
