Plow crews ready to battle winter BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — Let it snow, because city and county road crews are ready. More than 1,200 tons of salt sit in city and county barns waiting for Mother Nature to drop her annual winter offering on local roadways. Both Auburn street superintendent Bill Brandon and county highway director Eric Patton said their fleets of plow trucks are primed for nature’s assault.
“We’re ready, it’s just a matter of waiting for it to get here,” said Brandon. When it does get here, Brandon and Patton said all their fleet trucks have undergone seasonal maintenance checks, their crews have been put on notice and their plans have been laid out — as much as possible, of course. The city and county operate during winter storms in much the same way. Patton and Brandon will watch weather reports ahead of predicted storms, and
dispatchers and local police will serve as the eyes and ears to report road conditions to them. When snow and ice fall, road crews will be called in and deployed. The city’s street department has a 12-man crew to run its fleet of 10 heavy-duty trucks and six smaller plow trucks, though Brandon can call in 6-8 workers from other city departments to help plow if conditions warrant extra help. Patton has a 20-man crew at his disposal, and said SEE PLOW, PAGE A6

WASHINGTON (AP) — Shedding gridlock, key members of Congress reached a modest budget agreement Tuesday to restore about $63 billion in automatic spending cuts from programs ranging from parks to the Pentagon. The spending increases would be offset by a variety of increased fees and other provisions elsewhere in the budget totaling about $85 billion over a decade, leaving enough for a largely symbolic cut of about $23 billion in the nation’s debt, now $17 trillion and growing. Federal workers, retired members of the military under age 62, airline travelers and health care providers who treat Medicare patients would bear much of the cost. The budget deal was one of a few major measures left on Congress’ to-do list near the end of a bruising year that has produced a partial government SEE BUDGET, PAGE A6
Obama’s Mandela eulogy echoes his own agenda JOHANNESBURG (AP) — President Barack Obama’s eulogy was for Nelson Mandela, but it laid out for a global audience the work that Obama himself would like to be remembered for: an unending fight against injustice and inequality. Obama acknowledged he sometimes wonders whether he is doing enough to live up to Mandela’s historic legacy. Speaking to a crowd of thousands at a rain-soaked memorial service — and millions more on television — Obama said it was crucial that progress in the U.S. and South Africa not “cloud the fact that our work is not yet done.” He said that struggles to come “may not be as filled with drama and moral clarity as those that came before, but they are no less important.” Behind Obama’s words was the difficult political reality he and Mandela both faced. They became their nations’ first black presidents, shattering racial barriers that once seemed impossible to break. But their groundbreaking electoral success came with sky-high expectations that proved difficult to fulfill, on problems like poverty and injustice. For Obama, Tuesday’s focus on global inequality dovetailed with an agenda he is trying to revive in the U.S., as he seeks to steady his standing with middle class Americans after a trying presidential year. Obama’s renewed attention to the issue of income inequality in particular is popular with his liberal base, though he stands little chance of gaining support for items such as

• a minimum wage increase from congressional Republicans. “With honesty, regardless of our station or our circumstance, we must ask: ‘How well have I applied his lessons in my own life?” Obama said of Mandela. “It’s a question I ask myself, as a man and as president.” While Obama may be facing political troubles at home, his broad popularity in South Africa was on full display. The crowd at the Johannesburg soccer stadium erupted in applause each time the American president’s name was mentioned or his image flashed on the stadium screen. In small but significant ways, Obama also appeared to be trying to live Mandela’s message of overcoming animosity and bitterness. He shared a brief handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro, who attended the service. It was a rare greeting between the leaders of two countries that have long been at odds, and the simple gesture stoked talk of a possible rapprochement. But just moments later, Obama

launched into veiled criticism of Cuba and other authoritarian governments that were friendly with Mandela. “There are too many people who happily embrace Madiba’s legacy of racial reconciliation but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality,” Obama said, referring to Mandela by his clan name. “There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom but do not tolerate dissent from their own people.” The White House said Obama
met with members of Mandela’s family during the memorial service, including Mandela’s widow, Graca Machel, and expressed condolences on behalf of the American people. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama also called Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa from their hotel after the service to thank the retired Anglican bishop for his anti-apartheid work. By the time Obama became president, Mandela had largely retired from public life. The two men held just one in-person meeting in 2005 and spoke only occasionally by phone.

Hamilton school board member resigns BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
HAMILTON — Hamilton Community Schools board member Dianna Mejia has resigned from the District 2 at-large seat she held for just six months. Mejia has been promoted to a position at the state Department of Child Services in Indianapolis, making her ineligible to govern the school district. The school board on Monday approved
Mejia’s resignation, effective Dec. 1. “She regretted, she said, heavily leaving the board; she really enjoyed it,” said school board President Scott Lucas. Mejia replaced former two-term board member Michael Kaufman in July. The district has advertised the position and will accept applications for the seat until Thursday, Lucas said. The board then will choose Mejia’s replacement. Lucas
said the board hopes to have a replacement seated by the first of the year. In other business Monday, Superintendent Jon Willman Mejia briefed the board on a conference he attended recently in Indianapolis on the similarities and differences between the educational systems
of world powers. Willman said a former Michigan State University professor, who is a Chinese immigrant and now an expert on education, spoke and debunked the notion that education systems in China and other nations are stronger than U.S. schools. Willman said the expert discussed how some countries will cherrypick strong students to test, while the United States tests every student, and he said an apples-to-
apples comparison would show the United States has the best education system in the world. Willman said the speaker suggested school districts should focus on local control to maintain success. Also Monday, the school board approved: an out-of-state field trip for the senior class to Chicago, Jan. 2-4; and an annual resolution to allow the business manager to make year-end transfers and cuts to balance the books.

Judge rules school corporation owns McIntosh property Heirs too late to claim it back BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — DeKalb County Judge Monte Brown has ruled in favor of the DeKalb Central school district, declaring it owns four lots of the McIntosh property on South Main Street. The school district filed documents in DeKalb Superior Court II to clear the title of the property. The land originally was deeded to the School Corporation of Auburn in 1916 by William H. McIntosh, to be used for high school purposes. Relatives of the late McIntosh, John Marecek and Arthur Rakestraw Jr., contested the action to clear the title, and asked that it be transferred to McIntosh’s heirs. Monday, Brown granted the school district’s motion for summary judgment, finding the school district had proved it is entitled to ownership of the property by adverse possession. It allows a party who possesses someone else’s land for an extended period of time to claim legal title to that land. Brown noted that after the land was deeded to the School Corporation of Auburn, a high school was built at the site and used as
a high school until 1968. When school districts merged, the DeKalb Central school district was created and took legal title to the property. Brown found that the school district used and maintained the property exclusively from the time it acquired the property to the present. From 1968, when the property ceased being used as a high school and became a school for younger students, the school district continued to claim title to and possession of the property, Brown noted. According to terms of the deed from McIntosh, title to the property could have reverted back to the heirs of McIntosh on the day after the date the property last was used as a high school. The school district has possessed the property for about 45 years after it was used as a high school, Brown added. The school district argued, and Brown agreed, that the statute of limitations for McIntosh’s heirs to begin an action to recover the property has expired. Brown found that no heir of McIntosh commenced a claim for title to the property within 15 years, as required by Indiana law.

Museum adds rare pump to displays The National Auto & Truck Museum is displaying this 1916 gas pump donated by the late John N. Grimm. His surviving family paid to have the pump restored to its original condition by a professional firm in Iowa, a five-year project. The museum now has the only totally restored Raymond Four in One Pump known to exist. It could dispense air, gasoline, oil and water. The restoration company placed its value
between $40,000 and $50,000. With the pump are Karen Grimm-Landel and her children, Joel, Pete and Sarah. “The museum wants to thank the Grimm family for this exceptional piece of automotive history. Visitors to the museum are encouraged to look the pump over closely, because it is very rare,” said Don Grogg, the museum’s executive director.
Regional Roundup • HIP plan extended through April INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — More than 10,000 low-income Indiana residents who participate in a state-run insurance plan will be able to keep their benefits through April. The Family and Social Services Administration announced Tuesday it is extending its Healthy Indiana Plan to participants who earn between 100 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty
level. The move will give members more time to obtain coverage through the federal health care exchange. FSSA Secretary Debra Minott said many HIP members have struggled to enroll in the exchange because of technical issues.
Dentists injured when car hits office GOSHEN — Two dentists were injured when a car crashed into their office Monday, according to news
reports. The Elkhart Truth reports Cheryl Carlton Deal and Mark Deal were inside Goshen Family Dentistry when a car driven by Gary Hurst, 34, of Goshen, crashed into the building. Hurst told police he was talking on his cell phone and was distracted when he went off the roadway. He gave a certified breath test of .13 percent blood alcohol content and was arrested on a preliminary charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
City regulating street performers SOUTH BEND (AP) — The South Bend City Council has approved a set of regulations on those who perform in public places seeking money. Council members voted 7-0 Monday in favor of the proposal. It will limit sidewalk musicians, dancers and others to performing until 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The South Bend Tribune reports those performers also must pay $20 for an annual permit and can’t ask for money in an aggressive manner.
Residents want busing to continue MUNCIE (AP) — Several Muncie residents are asking the state Department of Education to force the city’s school district to continue bus service for students despite the defeat of a proposed property tax

Denton worked for a transportation company contracted by the Columbus school district. She was stopped while driving erratically with two elementary school students aboard in November.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra reports that its budget is back in the black for the first time since 2007 because of big spending cuts and an increase in donations. The results come after the orchestra’s management and its musicians agreed to a new contract in October 2012 following a lockout during which five weekends of performances were canceled. The orchestra ended its 2012-2013 fiscal year with a surplus of nearly $236,000 on $23.2 million in revenue, officials announced during its annual meeting Monday. The orchestra’s spending dropped 15 percent, in large part from a 32 percent reduction in base pay for musicians. Fundraising was up $4 million to a record level of about $9.8 million. “After a groundswell of support from the Indianapolis community and major sacrifices from our musicians, the ISO had a milestone fundraising year and demonstrated it can operate within its means,” symphony board chairwoman Martha Lamkin said. The new five-year contract with musicians cut base pay for the orchestra’s some 80 musicians to $53,000 a year, rising to $70,000 in the final contract year. It also reduced the year-round performance schedule by eight weeks during the first two years.

Stalking victim gains national TV attention BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com
FORT WAYNE — A former Kendallville resident is gaining national attention for her ordeal as a stalking victim. Dawn Hillyer of Fort Wayne was featured on a national cable TV network Monday night and is scheduled to appear on Katie Couric’s talk show Dec. 17 describing her experiences. Monday, Investigation Discovery network’s season premiere of “Stalked: Someone’s Watching” told Hillyer’s story. Hillyer said Tuesday she hopes her television appearances will make an impact on awareness of stalking. “I’m doing it No. 1 for myself,
but for our kids,” she said in a telephone interview. Hillyer is campaigning for more laws to protect stalking victims. She said she would like to see Indiana join Ohio, Michigan and other states that allow GPS tracking of convicted felons after their release from prison. She also wants Indiana to approve lifelong protective orders for stalking victims. Hillyer favors starting a domestic violence registry — similar to the sex offender registry — that would include stalking offenders. “It’s an inherent trait that’s inside of them,” she said about stalkers. “Very rarely is it a one-time occurrence.”
In her case, she said, “There was a victim before me and a victim after me, too.” Hillyer lived in Kendallville as a child until moving to Fort Wayne during her high school years. In February 2012, an Allen County jury found Hillyer’s stalker Hillyer guilty of two counts of stalking, Class C felonies. A month later, the judge in the case sentenced Michael McClellan of Waterloo to five years in prison for each count — a total of 10 years. Evidence at the trial showed
Hillyer dated McClellan for a year before ending their relationship in August 2006. In October of that year, McClellan began contacting her multiple times daily by phone, text, email and in person. On one day he called her 88 times in a two-hour period. According to court documents, McClellan also confronted Hillyer at her home and in public, threatening to kill her on one occasion. He also hacked into her email account and harassed people on her contact list. Hillyer put her house up for sale, moved, changed cars and closed her Internet account. The harassment continued through January 2008. McClellan appealed his

Todd Allen Herendeen, left, and Ray Walker will be joined by Ronnie Knight in a Patriotic Christmas concert Friday at the Cole Auditorium in Kendallville.
Patriotic Christmas concert features memories of Elvis BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — Three national recording artists will share the stage Friday in Cole Auditorium for a Patriotic Christmas concert. Todd Allen Herendeen, Ray Walker and Ronnie Knight will honor all veterans and also present each veteran attending with a gift. They are asking audience members to bring items to send overseas to those now serving their country. Herendeen of Panama City, Fla., is a graduate of East Noble High School. He and his band have performed in Las Vegas and other venues, but he said he always remembers his northeast Indiana roots. Bass singer Walker, a Grammy Award winner, was a member of the Jordanaires, the longtime
backup singers for Elvis Presley. Walker, who also performed with Patsy Cline and Ricky Nelson, has one of the most-recorded voices in history. Two of his fellow members of the Jordanaires died in the last year, but Walker keeps up the singing tradition with Herendeen and other stage shows. Knight, also a bass singer, is a Nashville-based artist who has sung backup with Kenny Rogers, the Blackwood Brothers and J.D. Sumner. Although retired, he heard Herendeen and said he “liked what the group was doing” and recently joined them on the road. He will add his baritone voice at Friday’s concert. The first half of the program will include Walker’s stories and anecdotes of working with various artists, mixed with
nostalgic music. During the second half of the show, Walker will share his experiences with Elvis Presley behind the scenes, on stage and in movies such as “Blue Christmas.” Music by Heredeen will be backed up vocally by Knight and Walker. Patriot music will be played in both sets, along with gospel and holiday favorites. Friday’s concert will begin at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. Tickets cost $25 in advance and are available at the Kendallville Chamber of Commerce, Paradise Buffet in Auburn and Rome City American Legion Post 381. Tickets also will be available at the door for $30 Friday. Cole Auditorium is at East Noble High School, 901 Garden St., Kendallville.

Mayor dies from liver cancer GREENFIELD (AP) — The mayor of a central Indiana city has died just days after his family said he had ended treatment for a recurrence of liver cancer and was in home hospice care. Greenfield Mayor Dick Pasco died at his home Tuesday morning, Chuck Anderson, administrative assistant in the mayor’s office, told The Associated Press. Anderson said he had spoken with Pasco’s daughter. Pasco, who had been suffering liver problems since shortly before his 2011
election, was hospitalized on Nov. 30 for dehydration and pain. He returned home on Friday, his wife and daughter said in a statement to the Daily Reporter. The statement said the 66-year-old wanted to spend time at home with family members and close friends and that the family appreciated the public’s support and prayers.
Pasco had said he was first diagnosed with liver cancer 14 years ago and given eight months to live. He had surgery followed by experimental chemotherapy. He had part of his liver removed last year, yet he rarely missed a City Council or Board of Works meeting after taking office in January 2012.

Death In The News • ‘The Sound of Music’ baroness dies at 91 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eleanor Parker, who was nominated for Academy Awards three times for her portrayals of strongwilled women and played a scheming baroness in “The Sound of Music,” has died at 91. Family friend Richard Gale said Parker died Monday morning due to complications from pneumonia. “She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children at a medical facility near her home in Palm Springs,” Gale added. Parker was nominated for Oscars in 1950, 1951 and 1955, but then saw her career begin to wane in the early 1960s. Her last memorable role came in 1965’s “The Sound of Music,” in which she played the scheming baroness who loses Christopher Plummer to Julie Andrews.

BUDGET: Coats terms deal ‘missed opportunity’ FROM PAGE A1
shutdown, a flirtation with a first-ever federal default and gridlock on President Barack Obama’s agenda. “While I look forward to reviewing the details, I am concerned that this deal may be another missed opportunity by Congress to make the tough choices needed that will secure our long-term fiscal future,� U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said. “I believe Congress needs to live by the budget levels it passed in 2011 or replace them with real, targeted spending reforms.� In a blow to Democrats, the agreement announced by Sen.
Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Paul Ryan, R-Wis., omitted an extension of benefits for workers unemployed longer than 26 weeks. The program expires on Dec. 28, when payments will be cut off for an estimated 1.3 million individuals. Aides predicted bipartisan approval in both houses in the next several days, despite grumbling from liberals over the omission of the unemployment extension and even though tea party-aligned groups are pushing Republican conservatives to oppose the deal. The White House quickly issued a statement from
Obama praising the deal as a “good first step.� He urged lawmakers to both parties to follow up and “actually pass a budget based on this agreement so I can sign it into law and our economy can continue growing and creating jobs without more Washington headwinds.� Congress’ two budget negotiators hailed their own work. The deal “reduces the deficit by $23 billion and it does not raise taxes. It cuts spending in a smarter way� than the ones in effect, said Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who chairs the House Budget Committee.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration and Congress clashed Tuesday over the historic nuclear deal with Iran, exposing deep rifts over a U.S. pledge to refrain from any new sanctions over the next six months in exchange for concessions on enriching uranium. The disagreement could have broad consequences for the U.S. diplomatic effort to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. In his first congressional testimony since last month’s Geneva agreement, Secretary of State John Kerry defended the diplomacy as having halted and rolled back central elements of Iran’s nuclear program for the first time. He pleaded with Democrats and Republicans alike not to scuttle the chances of a peaceful resolution to a crisis that has regularly featured U.S. and Israeli threats of potential military action. “Let me be very clear:
This is a very delicate diplomatic moment and we have a chance to address peacefully one of the most pressing national security concerns that the world faces today,� Kerry told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “We’re at a crossroads. We’re at one of those really hinge points in history. One path could lead to an enduring resolution in the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. The other path could lead to continued hostility and potentially to conflict.� Kerry’s appearance came as lawmakers increasingly threatened to undermine the six-month interim pact, which gives Iran $7 billion in sanctions relief over the next half-year in exchange for the Islamic republic’s neutralizing its higher-enriched uranium stockpiles, not adding any new centrifuges and ceasing work at a heavy water reactor that potentially could produce plutonium used in nuclear weapons.
Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill., are close to completing a bill that would require the administration to certify every 30 days Iran’s adherence to the interim pact, according to legislative aides. Without that certification, the legislation would re-impose all sanctions and introduce new restrictions on Iran’s engineering, mining and construction industries. The legislation also calls for a global boycott of Iranian oil by 2015 if Iran fails to live up to the interim agreement. Foreign companies and banks violating the bans would be barred from doing business in the United States. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is drafting similar legislation, aides say. Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has warned any new package of commercial restrictions would kill the deal.
PLOW: County has sand-salt mix from last year FROM PAGE A1
he’ll typically call them all during storms to have them available on demand. Brandon said when it starts snowing, he’ll first deploy salt trucks, which he said handle minor snow falls. The city’s snow accumulation threshold is 2 inches, so when snow falls beyond that level, Brandon’s crews will drop the plows. It’s similar for Patton’s crews, though their threshold is 3 inches, he said, and so much simply depends on road conditions. While crews wait to react
to winter weather, trucks will sit ready and the salt is piled high. The city has 500-600 tons of salt and has another 900 tons at its disposal for the remainder of the winter. The county has 600 tons of sand and salt mix that was left over from last year, and Patton said the county is committed for 1,200 addition tons of pure salt. “So yeah, we’re set,� said Patton. Hopefully. Both Patton and Brandon their plans are changeable — a requirement of the business they’re in. Brandon said when it comes
to winter readiness, you can plan on your plan working if Mother Nature allows it to work. “I’ve been around here long enough to know you can’t plan on the same game plan,� said Brandon. “Every event is different, from the timing of it to the amount of precipitation to what kind of precipitation. It’s a combination and figuring out what it’s going to do. You wait until it gets here. You can look ahead, but you can’t plan for one specific thing because everything is different.�

Davis led team with 103 tackles this season
GARRETT — Garrett junior linebacker Bo Davis was surprised when he found out that he was selected to the Indiana Football Coaches Association Class 3A Junior All-State squad. But it was certainly a good surprise. “I didn’t really expect that at all,” Davis said. “I was pretty happy. It’s a pretty big deal.” But the soft-spoken Davis, who is the middle linebacker in the Railroaders’ 4-3 scheme, is quick to deflect the reasons for his success to his teammates that helped him finish with 103 tackles
this season. “The linemen take out the blocks and I’m supposed to do my job. I wouldn’t really say that I’m the leader, position-wise,” Davis said. The IFCA selections were announced Monday morning. Davis was Davis one of 12 juniors in the state in Class 3A to earn the distinction on defense. Davis finished with four tackles for loss, one fumble recovery, three interceptions and two pass deflections. Davis had a three-game stretch against Bluffton, Woodlan and South Adams where he had 15, 16 and 17 tackles, respectively. Davis was named the team’s Defensive Most Valuable Player
for the second consecutive year. “He’s the guy who takes the signals. He’s the first guy we talk to from the sideline. He’s the first guy involved in the strategy,” said Garrett coach Chris DePew. “Most things in this kind of defense are created to set that middle linebacker up and make plays. And Bo does, he makes them.” Davis was also a starting running back for the Railroaders this year, finishing with 346 yards on 64 carries with two touchdowns. Davis also caught nine passes for 88 yards and one touchdown. Davis said his favorite game of the season was a 34-0 win over DeKalb, in which he had 13 tackles, an interception, and a rushing and receiving touchdown. “When your talented kids are your hardest workers, you have a special player and that’s what he

is,” DePew said. “He’s a kid that won’t miss a workout, won’t miss a meeting and never would miss a practice. He’s just 100 percent dependable and dedicated, and sets a high standard that gives him ultimate credibility with his teammates.” Davis was a second-year starter at linebacker, and was also the team’s captain this past season. Garrett finished the season with a 4-6 record, but the campaign ended with two thrilling matchups against Heritage, both of which ended with difficult Railroader losses. But Davis is optimistic for what the team can do next season. “Our first loss to Heritage, we had a 21-point lead and it’s just the inexperience,” Davis said. “In the sectional we were neck-andneck the whole time. But those tough losses, they hurt a lot and motivate us for next year.”

game. Hartman led all scorers with 24 points in the Barons’ 59-53 win over the Lions.
Barons break through BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
WATERLOO – The first 12 minutes of DeKalb’s basketball game Tuesday night against Leo looked awfully similar to the Fort Wayne North and Northrop contests. The Lions used half-court and full-court ball pressure to make the Barons’ lives miserable, holding them without a field goal for nearly eight minutes. But something finally clicked for Jon Everingham’s team, using an array of backdoor cuts and screens, ball movement, corner 3s and Cole Hartman down low to eventually dispose of visiting Leo, 59-53. “We’ve got really good kids in
our program, guys that are willing to be coached,” Everingham said. “And when we went into halftime, we just talked about spacing and taking your time with your cuts. We got backdoor cuts 3-4-5 times early, which gave us the ability to move Cole to the interior and then we hurt them there with a couple kickouts.” Hartman proved tough to stop all night, leading all scorers with 24 points. Hartman made four straight baskets in the second quarter, all coming in the final 3:33, to help the Barons (2-2) take a 26-21 lead into the break. He also finished the third quarter strong; with Leo cutting the Baron lead to 37-33, Hartman scored
twice in the final 46 seconds and scored again 13 seconds into the fourth quarter to push DeKalb’s lead to 43-36. Dahlton Daub would then score 20 seconds later to extent that lead to nine points. Hartman returned to the lineup after missing Friday’s game against North Side with an ankle injury. “We were moving the ball a lot better, taking jump stops and good shots. Getting the ball inside always helps against pressure,” Hartman said. “They were just a scrappy team, tough to get any passing or shots off. They were SEE BARONS, PAGE B2
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Evan Gordon knew transferring to Indiana would invite pressure. He recognized that his last name brought extra expectations. Gordon suddenly looks more than worthy. He scored a season-high 26 points - 16 in a dominant opening half for Indiana - to lead the Hoosiers to an 81-54 blowout win over Oakland on Tuesday. Gordon has 41 points in his last two games after scoring in double figures just twice in the first eight. “It’s all coming out,” Gordon said. “When your team has confidence in you, it gives you confidence. I’ve gotten open. I’ve stayed a little more aggressive than I have been. It’s ball movement really. We’re playing faster and pushing the ball ahead. Everybody’s getting pretty good looks.” Indiana (8-2) won its second straight and extended its nonconference home winning streak to 36. Gordon, a 6-foot senior who transferred from Arizona State in the offseason, was expected to add experience, ballhandling and scoring to Indiana’s backcourt. Playing off the bench, Gordon has seen time at both guard spots. Against the Golden Grizzlies, most of his first-half minutes came at point guard with starter Yogi Ferrell limited to nine minutes because of foul trouble. Gordon thrived, making his first eight shots, one shy of matching a school record, before Oakland center Corey Petros blocked a layup with 8:22 left in the game. Gordon finished 10-of-12 from the field in 26 minutes and had fans at Assembly Hall periodically chanting his name. He started 7-of-7 in a win over North Florida on Saturday before missing his final two shots to finish with 15 points.

Churubusco defeat Eastside wrestlers BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — Visiting Churubusco defeated the Eastside Blazers 57-18 in a Northeast Corner Conference wrestling match Tuesday at Butler. The Eagles recorded pins at 106, 138, 160, 170 and 285 to go with three Eastside forfeits. The Blazers got pins at 126, 152 and 182. Brandon Miller (126) pinned Churubusco’s Cody Thomas in 2:20. Gage DeLong (152) needed 1:29 to pin the Eagles’ Lyle McParlin. Terry Nickolson (182) pinned Churubusco’s Braydon Shively in 3:13. “They’ve got a bunch of tough guys in their lineup. We knew that going in,” said Eastside coach Joel Richman. “We didn’t do very well (Saturday) and it carried over tonight, was for some reason, we started going to our backs and (ended up) getting pinned. “That’s part of staying tough throughout a match
and watching out for those spots to stay save and getting into those dangerous positions where we’re going to give up pins.” Three decisions went against the Blazers. Eastside’s Codey Ross was defeated 7-2 by Churubusco’s R.J. Sonneburg at 120 pounds. The Eagles’ Dean Garete used a late reversal to put away Eastside’s Brock Munsey 11-8 at 145 pounds. Churubusco’s Nick Helbert scored the final six points, including a three-point near-fall, to defeat Eastside’s Jennings Nickolson 11-7 at 195 pounds. “We had a couple of close ones that didn’t go the way we needed them to go,” Richman said. “We’ll build and work the next week and a half and see what we have for them at Carroll.” Luc Rodman and Keezan Jarrard, both wrestling at 170 pounds, won reserve matches for Eastside.

DeKalb junior point guard Dahlton Daub and Leo’s Jordan Eldridge refuse to back down from each other during Tuesday night’s game. Daub finished with 14 points in the Baron victory.

getting a lot of tips and turnovers, and it was hard to score against that.” DeKalb finished the game with 17 turnovers. DeKalb took its largest lead of the night with 6:23 left in the contest when Hunter Cone hit a 3-pointer from the corner — his second of the game – to give the Barons a 48-38 lead. “That really set the tone in our favor,” Hartman said. But Leo dug in, scoring five quick points to cut the lead in half. Following a bucket and two free throws from Daub (which came two minutes apart), Leo used a 3-pointer from David Hardin and a bucket from Tyler Beer to cut DeKalb’s lead to 52-48 with 1:14 left. The Lions would never get the deficit any closer as DeKalb hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final 1:03 of the game. “We’re getting better offensively and it’s showing just a little bit,” Everingham said. “It’s a process of finding good spacing, making good, sharp cuts and finding the open man and finding the inside man. We’re still forming that identity offensively and that’s coming.” Leo’s Grinnell Collegestyle offense was defended well by the Barons. The Lions weren’t shy from beyond-the-arc, hoisting up 37 3-pointers in the contest, but only making seven (19 percent). At one point, Leo was 1 of 22 from downtown before catching fire in the second half, making three attempts in both of the final two quarters. “We did a pretty good job of always contesting,” Everingham said. “They didn’t have any open looks, in my opinion. Coach (Cary) Cogdell has a philosophy with the program and they do good job getting those threes up. I know for sure their goal is to get 40 3s a game.” Both Daub (14 points) and Cone (13 points) were in double figures for the Barons. Tanner Moore scored eight points to round out the scoring. Hartman also had seven rebounds,

Dylan Barrow had nine points and four blocks, and Adam Davison tallied eight points. DeKalb also got the job done at the free throw line, making 21 of 26 attempts. “The good thing about our team is that the defense is playing so well that it’s keeping us in the game and giving us a chance to get a win,” Everingham said. DeKalb came out hot early, leading 12-2 halfway through the first quarter following traditional three-point plays by Daub and Moore. But Leo went on a 14-3 run and took its only lead of the game on a pair of free throws by Connor Van Ooyen with 4:23 left in the half. Daub quickly followed with a lay-up and the Barons relinquished the lead. “It’s always good to get a win, but we just need to keep getting better every day,” Hartman said.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Boyes scored the winning goal in a shootout to lift the Florida Panthers over the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday night. Aleksander Barkov also scored in the tiebreaker for Florida, which has won three of four overall and two in a row against the Red Wings. Tomas Tatar scored for Detroit in the shootout but Tim Thomas stopped shots by Daniel Alfredsson and Gustav Nyquist. Nick Bjugstad and Sean Bergenheim had goals in regulation for Florida. Thomas made 24 saves. Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi scored for the Red Wings. Jimmy Howard made 25 saves and Johan
Franzen had two assists. Detroit lost for the sixth time this season when leading after two periods. Florida scored twice in the third to tie the game. Bjugstad evened it at 2 when he put the puck over Howard’s shoulder with 5:22 left in the third. The Panthers cut it to 2-1 on a goal by Bergenheim exactly 5 minutes into the period. Dmitry Kulikov bounced a shot from the point that Bergenheim touched on the way to the net. The Red Wings took a 2-0 lead in the second on Datsyuk’s goal. Franzen slid a soft pass to Datsyuk to the left of the crease and he one-timed it into the net at 6:47. Franzen has 12 points in his last 10 games.
FRIEND: Wisel leads Railroaders to win in battle of ranked teams FROM PAGE B1
Eastside players to score in double figures in the Blazers’ 68-64 upset (or was it?) of Fort Wayne Canterbury on Friday night. Moughler’s scoring output may have been the unlikeliest in Wisel that he was starting in place of an injured Tristan Sprunger. Moughler also hit two free throws with 51.2 seconds left to put the Blazers up for good. Before the Blazers’ win on Friday, Moughler Canterbury had won the last five contests against Eastside by just under 20 points per game. Others worthy of recognition on the girls side include DeKalb senior girls basketball player Baylee Rinehart, who scored 19 points — 13 in the first quarter — in the Barons’ rout of Bellmont Saturday night, and Eastside’s Maddy Minehart, who had 17 points and 18 rebounds in a loss to West Noble. On the boys’ side, DeKalb junior boys basketball player Carson Forrest had 18 points and eight rebounds in the Barons’ loss to Fort Wayne North. The Garrett’s boys basketball duo of Justin McCoy (22 points) and Karsten Cooper (16 points, 10 rebounds, six assists) also deserve a shoutout for their performance in a win against Woodlan.

Hannah Contest Time to do some housekeeping. One part scheduling change and one part forgetfulness led to the Hannah Holstein results from two weeks ago to never being published in the paper. That week’s Hannah Picks The Preps contest from The Star saw four competitors tie at the top of chart with 15 correct picks. But the best tiebreaker belonged to Bob Emerick of Auburn, whose tiebreaker of 104 points was closest to the 117 points scored by Mercer in its 117-108 triple overtime victory over Valparaiso. For his efforts, Emerick wins the $25 gift certificate from MJS Apparel in Garrett. Dave Miller of Garrett, Skip Zellars of Auburn and Janet Zeider of Garrett all also picked 15 winners. This week’s winner of the $25 gift certificate from MJS Apparel is Mike Emerick of Hamilton, who selected 18 winners. He was only tripped up by Garrett’s win over Woodlan and Prairie Heights’ victory over Fairfield. Jr. Wood of Garrett, Ron Warstler of Auburn and Bob Zmyslony of Garrett all picked 17 winners.

Pacers rally to defeat Heat INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert threw all the inside body jabs Tuesday night. Paul George finished it off with the knockout blow. Together, the Pacers’ devastating one-two scoring punch did it again to the champs. Hibbert finished with 24 points, George made two big 3-pointers during a 15-point second half scoring spree and Indiana rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to take Round 1 against Miami 90-84. “It was fun, a real intense game,” George said. “Both teams were playing at a high level. You could see an urgency to win this game tonight.” While Indiana extended its franchise-record home start to a perfect 10-0 and took a three-game advantage over Miami in the early chase for home-court advantage, this was no ordinary regular season game. During pregame media availability, Indiana’s Lance Stephenson said this game felt like a championship matchup. Two of Miami’s big three, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, tried to downplay that sort of talk by explaining this was not a win or go home night.
The hometown fans didn’t care what the Heat thought. They were already in postseason form, booing loudly at the officials, chanting “He’s a flopper” on some contestable foul calls and eventually serenading Miami players with those familiar chants of “Beat the Heat.” But the Pacers (19-3) also understood this was only be the start of a seasonlong quest that could pit the two best teams in the East in the conference finals for a second straight year. First, there’s the rematch in Miami on Dec. 18. They won’t meet again until March 26 in Indy, then head back to Miami on April 11 before what most expect to be a third straight meeting in the playoffs. If those games have as much intrigue and pizazz as Tuesday night’s showdown, they may be the most compelling all season. And the Pacers can’t wait to show how much they can improve — even on a win over the two-time champs and four-time MVP LeBron James. “It’s just one game,” Hibbert said. “We’re going to learn from it. It’s a learning experience. It’s still early in the season. We have a lot more work to do.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Trumbo to Diamondbacks in 3-team trade LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels traded slugging outfielder-first baseman Mark Trumbo to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday as part of a three-team deal that also includes the Chicago White Sox. Pitcher Hector Santiago moved from the White Sox to the Angels, outfielder Adam Eaton from Diamondbacks to Chicago, and left-hander Tyler Skaggs from Arizona to Los Angeles. Arizona also will receive player to be named or cash from each of the other clubs in the deal made at the winter meetings. Trumbo hit .234 with 34 homers and 100 RBIs this year, getting much of his playing time at first base because Albert Pujols was hurt. But he was deemed superfluous by Los Angeles, which needs starting pitching behind Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Garrett Richards. Santiago was 4-9 with a 3.56 ERA in 23 starts and 11 relief appearances. His fastball velocity has dipped from 93.8 mph in 2011 to 92.8 in 2012 to 91.8 last season, according to fangraphs.com. Eaton hit .252 with three homers, 22 RBIs and 44 strikeouts in 250 at-bats for the Diamondbacks this year, when he also played with three minor league teams. Skaggs went to Santa Monica High School, was taken by the Angels with the 40th overall selection of the 2009 amateur draft and was dealt to the Diamondbacks in August 2010 to complete the trade that brought Dan Haren to Los Angeles. Skaggs made his big league debut in 2012, when he had six starts, but spent much of this year in the minors. He was 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in seven starts this year for Arizona, leaving him with a 3-6 career mark. All four players have low salaries for now. Trumbo and Santiago are on track to be eligible for salary arbitration after next season, Eaton following 2015 season and Skaggs after the 2016 season.
Arencibia, Rangers complete $1.8M contract LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Catcher J.P. Arencibia and the Texas Rangers have finalized a $1.8 million, one-year contract. Arencibia hit .194 with 21 homers, 18 doubles and 55 RBIs in a career-high 138 games this year for Toronto. The Blue Jays didn’t offer him a contract by the Dec. 2 deadline and allowed him to become a free agent. Arencibia has a .212 career average with 64 homers and 193 RBIs in four big league seasons. He turns 28 next month and figures to be a backup to Geovany Soto. The agreement was announced Tuesday. Arencibia is fourth among catchers in home runs over the past three seasons with 62. Two of Arencibia’s seven multihomer games have come in Arlington. The other five were in Toronto.
Toronto’s Phaneuf suspended two games for boarding NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has been suspended two games for his hit from behind on Kevan Miller of the Boston Bruins. Phaneuf will not play against Los Angeles on Wednesday and at St. Louis on Thursday. He loses more than $66,000 in salary. During Toronto’s loss to Boston on Sunday night at Air Canada Centre, Miller’s back was turned at the time. No boarding penalty was called. Miller left the game but coach Claude Julien said he wasn’t worried about the defenseman’s condition. Phaneuf had a phone hearing Tuesday with NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan. The suspension is the Leafs’ fourth this season. The others were to David Clarkson, Nazem Kadri and Carter Ashton.
Green, Ruettgers new Packers Hall of Fame members GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Former Green Bay Packers players Ahman Green and Ken Ruettgers will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame next summer. Green, a running back obtained in a trade with Seattle in 2000, played eight seasons with the Packers and finished as the club’s all-time rushing leader with 8,322 yards. He also holds franchise records for most yards from scrimmage (11,048), 1,000-yard seasons (six), 100-yard games (33) and rushing attempts (1,851). Ruettgers played 12 years for the Packers (1985-96) and was a fixture at left tackle for more than a decade. A first-round draft pick in 1985, he appeared in 156 career games, with 140 starts. The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. announced the selections Tuesday. The 44th Hall of Fame induction banquet will be held July 19.

Disliking Jesus I won’t like Pope Francis I. I won’t like Jesus. In case you have been living under a rock, or lack computer access, which is pretty much the same thing in some circles, on the social media website FaceBook, you almost constantly are encouraged to click “like” buttons. You can “like” your favorite sports team, college, businesses, hobbies and television programs “Liking” something is basically an atta-boy, a web-based popularity contest. For public relations purposes, it would be a feather in Pepsi’s cap if MATT it had more “likes” than Coke. GETTS But what does it actually mean? Do companies such as DIRECTV really care if someone “likes” them on FaceBook? To see what impact this had on the satellite television provider, I phoned all five of the people identified as being media specialists at the company. Apparently, none of the media specialists at DIRECTV work on Thursday afternoons. I then emailed the vice president of the company’s media relations arm, Darris Gringeri. My email to Mr. Gringeri was short and to the point, “I have ‘liked’ DIRECTV on FaceBook. I would like a company The whole reaction to that.” I eagerly awaited ‘liking’ thing can a response. As of late Tuesday, I am be misleading still in the awaiting phase. DIRECTV is obviously so deeply in my debt it cannot respond. The whole “liking” thing can be misleading. Off to one side of my FaceBook page is an ad that asks me if I like Pope Francis I. Clicking the “like” button on this advertisement actually adds a “like” to The Catholic Company, a distributor of religious items and gifts. I have done business with The Catholic Company because its selection and pricing are very competitive. But I will not “like” it, because the company is basically using people’s fondness for the new pope to bolster its own popularity numbers. It’s the same thing with Jesus. A pop-up ad on Thursday told me I should hit “like” if I was a follower of Jesus Christ. Talk about peer pressure. In the interest of full disclosure, I not only like and follow Jesus Christ, I have lovingly embraced him as my personal savior. In this instance, hitting that “like” button to the question that asks if you are a follower of Jesus Christ adds a “like” to rare.com, an online news magazine. I found this company’s website, and didn’t find anything Jesus-related on it, other than a brief story about the pope, one of a dozen stories on its home page. Of course, the hidden implication is that if you don’t “like” Jesus, then you must “dislike” Him, which is balderdash. Does anyone really think that Jesus is waiting for his millionth “like?” Is there another god with whom He is competing for popularity? What if God the Father gets ticked because his Son has more “likes?” The very Trinity could be in jeopardy. Not. Don’t “like” being a follower of Jesus. BE a follower of Jesus. Don’t “like” IU sports. Donate to the local alumni association. Be someone who does, not someone who “likes.” How do you like that?

Obamacare’s youth market: an economic miscalculation? BY CECIL BOHANON
Central to the success of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, are 20- to 30-year-olds buying government-approved health insurance policies. The administration, its friends and allies are running a full-court public-relations press touting the advantages of health insurance to these young folks. Advertising may facilitate some to sign up, but economists generally believe that incentives are more important. How, then, does the ACA change economic incentives to buy health insurance to the young and uninsured? Consider the health insurance market before the ACA is in place. Charlie is a 27-year-old single male who freelances in Anytown, Indiana. He earns $45,000 a year and does not currently buy health insurance. Economists surmise his choice not to buy is the by-product of a cost-benefit calculation. The costs of health insurance are the premiums Charley has to pay. The benefits of buying health insurance are twofold.
If Charlie has a catastrophic medical event — say contracts a rare form of cancer — most of his health bills will be paid for by his insurance carrier. Second, by purchasing health insurance before such an awful disease develops he has continued access to coverage. In a pre-ACA world there is a strong incentive for a healthy young person to buy insurance to insure against the risk of becoming uninsurable. But apparently Charlie finds the costs of being insured exceed its benefits. So how does the ACA impact his calculation? According to the Kaiser Foundation Health Care website, a bronze-level ACA plan for Charlie will cost him $2,542 a year. This is almost certainly more than what Charlie would pay for equivalent coverage pre-ACA. The ACA mandates the young to overpay for health insurance so that the older folks can be allowed to underpay. The premium in the above-quoted figure reflects this intention. If Charlie doesn’t want health
insurance at lower pre-ACA premiums, why will he want it at higher post-ACA premiums? Intergenerational cost shifting, a central component of the ACA, gives Charlie less of an incentive to buy insurance. But there is a second reason why the structure of the ACA actually reduces Charlie’s incentive to buy: He can sign up for health insurance after the fact. The ACA forbids insurance companies from discriminating based on pre-existing conditions. The designers of the ACA knew these two facts, and incorporated a tax for not buying health insurance into the ACA, a tax that clearly generates an incentive to buy insurance. But is it enough? For Charlie the tax for not buying will be $350 in 2014, rise to $700 in 2015 and then to $875 in 2016. The ACA premium is 5.6 percent of his income, the tax for not buying is .8 — 1.9 percent of his income. Charlie saves $1,667 — $2,192 or around 3.7 percent (4.8 percent of his gross income) if he does not buy health insurance under the ACA. Moreover, he
can continue to accrue these savings and then sign up for insurance if and when his health deteriorates. One is hard-pressed to give a plausible economic reason why Charlie as situated above would change his mind and buy insurance under the ACA. Granted, if Charlie’s income is a lot more, say in six figures, the tax he owes for not buying will be greater, making it more likely he buys. If his income is a lot less, say $20,000, available government subsidies make him more likely to opt for an insurance purchase. But we suspect the richer Charlies are already buying insurance and the poorer Charlies are a net fiscal drain to the ACA. So this seems clear: The ACA reduces the incentive to buy insurance for the many of the very folks needed to make it work.

Pope is religious — not political — leader WASHINGTON — We have reached a new level of political absurdity when the right is mad at the pope and the left wants to anoint his head with oil. Everyone seems to have his own special version of Pope Francis. Liberals have declared him a crusader for social justice, especially regarding his comments about global inequality. Conservatives fear he just might be a commie. To briefly recap, Pope Francis has hit two hot buttons: He has questioned the efficacy of “unfettered” free markets and has encouraged de-emphasizing the church’s positions on such divisive issues as gays and abortion. The latter message, while loving and refreshing, is more complex than an “I’m OK, You’re OK” platitude. He never proposes changing church teachings but merely suggests that the church should be open to all. You can’t minister to people if you won’t let them in the door. And no one follows a wagging finger. “Frequently we act as arbiters of grace rather than its facilitators,” Pope Francis writes. “But the church is not a tollhouse; it is … a place for everyone, with all their problems.” He also makes frequent reference to the unborn, but in the context of a throwaway culture that acts as though certain people don’t exist or
can be easily discarded, as in the unborn or the elderly. The message relating to the financial world similarly targeted the collateral human damage of “unfettered” markets. This is by-the-book Christianity, hardly the moorings of heresy. Yet, these Christian KATHLEEN sentiments have sent some conservatives PARKER reeling to the fainting couch. Upon reading the pope’s words about greed and inequality, Rush Limbaugh threw down the word “Marxist” like an overcooked rib-eye. The pontiff’s words, said the man of many words, was “just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.” Now seems a good time to step back and consider what so often eludes us in our rush to pontificate: Context, context, context. Both Karl Marx and Pope Francis may have critiqued our idolatry of money as creating an “economy of exclusion and inequality,” as Francis described the global economic system in his “Evangelii Gaudium” (The Joy of the
•
Gospel). But Marx was making an economic statement and Francis was making a theological one. Christianity is based on Christ, while Marxism advocates abolition of religion and acceptance of atheism. One receives grace and performs acts of charity; the other abjures grace and systematizes penury. Next comes Adam Shaw, news editor for FoxNews.com and a Catholic, who wrote that the pope is like Obama — the worst invective a good conservative can hurl this side of “You’re a tool of Satan!” “Just like President Obama loved apologizing for America, Pope Francis likes to apologize for the Catholic Church, thinking that the church is at its best when it is passive and not offending anyone’s sensibilities,” wrote Shaw. Both men, he implies, “pander to enemies,” and are “professional grievance mongers.” And so on. Pray, where does one see passivity in Pope Francis? The man is an activist, a street worker, a foot washer and evangelizer. There’s nothing passive or pandering about him. And it would appear that Francis is quite willing to offend sensibilities. It is useful to remember that Jesus wasn’t only a carpenter’s son but a radical who turned the tables on the status quo. Likewise Francis — a Christian
right down to his sensible black leather shoes, the better to walk the walk and sneak out at night to minister to Rome’s homeless. What set off conservatives was the pope’s criticism of “trickle-down” economic theory that places absolute faith in markets to be humane and fair. Conservatives argue correctly that capitalism has done more to raise millions from poverty than any other system. And they well remember the fusion of Marxism and Christianity called “liberation theology” that seeks to redistribute wealth. But the pope never mentions redistribution. He is challenging our idolatry of money and obsession with things (I confess!), a cultural fascination that distracts us from the needy. What is the successor to St. Peter supposed to do when he sees so much suffering even in free-market societies? Quote Ayn Rand? In a final contextual note, Francis is the pope, not the president. Like Jiminy Cricket, he is urging people to let their conscience be their guide. No one, Christian or otherwise, can escape the mirror he holds up, his eyes doubtless twinkling in anticipation of his next moonlight adventure, searching for souls in need.

GM has first woman CEO
Town sells SUV once used by Palin ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska community’s sale on eBay of a vehicle used by former Mayor Sarah Palin has caused a stir in small-town politics. The city of Wasilla, just north of Anchorage, auctioned off the 1999 Expedition used by Palin during her second term as mayor on the website. A Fairbanks woman bought it for $10,300, about $8,000 over its value. The city will use the money to replenish its vehicle replacement fund. But Deputy Mayor Colleen Sullivan-Leonard proposed using the funds to restock the local food pantry. That proposal died Monday when Mayor Verne Rupright declined to break a 3-3 council tie. Sullivan-Leonard says it’s unfortunate Rupright is capitalizing on Palins’ name to fatten city coffers. Rupright says it’s just good business when you can get more money than expected for surplus equipment.
DiGiorno drops cheese supplier after animal abuse MILWAUKEE (AP) — Top-selling frozen pizza brand DiGiorno and its cheese supplier cut ties with a Wisconsin dairy farm Tuesday after an animal rights group released undercover video showing workers beating, kicking, stabbing and whipping sick and injured cows. Wiese Brothers Farm owner Mark Wiese told The Associated Press that he fired two employees and assigned another to duties that don’t involve handling animals after seeing the video. Wiese, who owns the 5,000-cow farm in Greenleaf with his brother, said he was not aware of the abuse until late last month. “My brother and I and our families are just very, very shook up about the whole incident,” he said Tuesday. “And we’re just going to continue to complete our investigation and make sure changes are made if needed and make our business stronger and better.” The farm sold its milk to Foremost Farms. Foremost supplies cheese to DiGiorno, which is owned by Nestle USA. Nestle said in a statement that it had asked Foremost Farms not to send it cheese made from Wiese Brothers Farm milk. Foremost Farms said it had stopped buying from Wiese Brothers on Monday. Wiese Brothers also faces an investigation by the local sheriff’s department. A captain there said he couldn’t comment on the details. An activist with Mercy For Animals shot the video while working on the farm in October and November.

Officials wheel in two children, part of a group of six people taken to Pershing General Hospital after being lost for
two days in the frigid mountains near Lovelock, Nev., Tuesday.
Search team finds people stranded in Nevada cold RENO, Nev. (AP) — A desperate search for a couple and four children missing for two days in the below-zero cold of Nevada’s rugged mountains turned jubilant Tuesday when rescuers guided in part by cellphone signals and footprints in the snow found them alive and well near their overturned Jeep. About 200 people had searched by land and air after the group of six failed to return Sunday from a trip to play in the snow near their hometown of Lovelock, in Nevada’s high desert. “They stayed together and that was the key that allowed them to live through this experience. You don’t see that that often in search and rescue,” said Paul Burke, search-and-rescue coordinator for the state. “They did some pretty unusual things, heating up rocks and things. Staying together, that was a big deal.” Their Jeep had overturned just off a road. A member of the rescue team said the engine would no longer start, but the group stayed in the upside-down
vehicle for shelter, burning the spare tire to keep warm. The six were taken to Pershing General Hospital, where about 100 well-wishers lined the street and broke into cheers when two of the smallest children were taken from an ambulance. Others walked into the hospital on their own. “The mood where I’m at’s ecstatic,” said Col. Tim Hahn of the Civil Air Patrol, which used several planes to search for the group. “We are thrilled beyond words.” Rescuers began scouring the Seven Troughs Area wilderness on Sunday night for James Glanton, 34; his girlfriend, Christina McIntee, 25; their two children, Evan and Chloe Glanton; and Shelby Fitzpatrick and Tate McIntee, a niece and nephew of McIntee’s. The children range in age from 3 to 10. The situation grew more dire as overnight temperatures in Lovelock dipped to 16 below zero. A cellphone forensics team analyzed which towers the group’s phone was in contact with during
their trip, giving searchers a better idea of where they might be, Hahn said. They were so far out in the wilderness that they apparently were unable to call for help. Search volunteer Chris Montes said he and two rescuers with him first spotted children’s footprints in the snow, then followed a set of Jeep tracks until they found the flipped vehicle and the family beside it. “They just said that they knew somebody was going to find them,” Montes said. The discovery prompted a wave of relief on social media. “Very glad to hear the missing family in Lovelock has been found and they are safe!” Gov. Brian Sandoval tweeted. “Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly to find them!” The Seven Troughs area is named for seven parallel canyons below Seven Trough Peak, elevation 7,474 feet. It is about 20 miles southeast of Black Rock Desert, where the annual Burning Man counterculture festival is held.
DETROIT (AP) — General Motors picked Mary Barra, its product development chief and a 33-year company veteran, as its next CEO. She will become the first female head of a major U.S. car company. GM said Tuesday that Barra, 51, will replace Dan Akerson on Jan. 15. Akerson, 65, chairman and CEO, moved up his retirement plans by several months because his wife, Karin, is battling an advanced form of cancer. “I need to spend all my time and energy in fighting this disease with my wife,” Akerson said on a conference call with reporters. Akerson had originally planned to stay into the spring or summer. Since February 2011 Barra has held what many say is the most important job at GM — senior vice president for global product development. Barra, who joined GM in 1980, is currently in charge of design, engineering and quality for all of GM’s vehicles across the globe and has shepherded most of the company’s recent new vehicle introductions. Under her command, GM rolled out brawny new full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Chevrolet Impala full-size car, which earned the highest score for a sedan in testing by Consumer Reports magazine. Its quality scores also rose in surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. She also led development of the new Chevrolet Corvette and several new Cadillac models. Akerson took over GM in September 2010, as the company prepared to go public about a year after emerging from bankruptcy protection. During his tenure GM has made billions of dollars in profits and is sitting on $26.8 billion in cash. Its profit margins in North America are a healthy 9 percent. He and Barra

have revamped GM’s lineup of cars and trucks. On Monday, GM officially shed the derisive moniker of “Government Motors” when the government sold the last of the GM shares it inherited as part of a bailout in 2008 and 2009. But Barra still needs to trim GM’s costs and win over buyers in markets such as India and South America. One big step in getting there: producing more vehicles that can be sold in multiple markets, such as the Chevrolet Cruze compact car. The choice of Barra was unanimous, Akerson said, because of her breadth of experience, management and people skills and her understanding of GM’s operations. The GM board considered only internal candidates. “This is an executive who has a vision of where she wants to take the organization,” he said, adding that Barra took over product development when it was in chaos not long after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection. Akerson hinted at the move earlier this year when he told a women’s business group in Detroit that a “car gal” would run one of the Detroit Three automakers someday soon.
Rule approved to restrict high-risk trading WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. banks will be barred in most cases from trading for their own profit under a federal rule approved Tuesday. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. each unanimously voted to adopt the so-called Volcker Rule, taking a major step toward preventing extreme risk-taking on Wall Street that helped trigger the 2008
financial crisis. Three other regulators were expected to follow suit Tuesday. Congress instructed regulators to draft the rule under the 2010 financial overhaul law. The rule was agreed to after three years of drafts, debates and lobbying by Wall Street banks. The final version is stricter than many had expected and are intended
to prevent risky trading that required taxpayer-funded bailouts during the crisis. But the rule still provides some exemptions. At its heart, the rule seeks to ban banks from almost all proprietary trading. The practice of trading for their own profit has been very lucrative for big banks like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. The rule also limits banks’ investments in
While still tech-heavy, it’s more diverse, reasonably valued and loaded with profitable companies, investors say. “The Nasdaq is very different, in every measureable, quantifiable way, than it was,” says Gavin Baker, who manages nearly $10 billion in assets for the Fidelity OTC fund. Technology companies make up a smaller percentage of the index, roughly 42 percent, compared with 56 percent 13 years ago. The telecom industry is a little less than 2 percent, compared with 18 percent back then. And consumer-focused companies such as Amazon.com are a much bigger part of the index, making up 22 percent, compared with basically zero in March 2000. The Nasdaq recently passed the 4,000 mark, a level last seen in September of 2000.
include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The largest U.S. banks — those with $50 billion or more in assets— will be required to fully comply with the terms of the rule by July 2015. Other banks will have until 2016 to comply.
A Patriotic Christmas
Nasdaq still not at dot-com peak NEW YORK (AP) — It takes a long time to recover from a bad hangover, especially when you party like it’s 1999. The Nasdaq Composite is up 35 percent this year, but while other major indexes like the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 have celebrated all-time highs again and again, the Nasdaq remains 20 percent below its dot-com peak of 5,048.62. That’s a good thing because the biggest beneficiary of the late 90s internet mania was also its biggest victim. After cresting on March 10, 2000, the index lost nearly 80 percent of its value over the next two years, touching bottom on Oct. 9, 2002 at 1,114.11. The Dow fell 27 percent over the same period, and the S&P 500 dropped 44 percent. Even as it soars faster than other indexes, the Nasdaq isn’t what it was.
hedge funds. Still, the final version allows proprietary trading when it is done to facilitate buying and selling investment for customers. That is known as market-making. Also exempted from the ban are cases when a bank underwrites a securities offering, and for trading in U.S. government, state and local bonds. The other three agencies voting for the rule

Also, the things the ex might consider to be flaws may be the qualities you love best about him. That you would say you love and trust your boyfriend, and in the next sentence indicate you’re considering a chat with his former wife, makes me wonder how deep your level of trust is.

Insulin injections virtually painless today Insulin can’t be taken as a pill; it must be taken by injection or with an insulin pump.

Most people use syringes or insulin “pens.” A pen injector uses disposable needles and insulin cartridges.

It’s portable and discreet, and it provides multiple accurate doses without your needing to measure and fill syringes. There are several formulations of insulin. They vary based on how quickly they start working, how long it takes for the insulin to peak and how long it remains active. Different types of insulin can be used alone or in combination. The type of insulin and how much and how often you use it varies from person to person. You’ll work with your doctor or diabetes educator to develop an individualized insulin program. Your goal is to maintain a blood sugar level that’s as close to normal as possible without having your blood sugar dip too low. Low blood sugar can have dangerous consequences of its own. If the sugar goes too low, you can become tired, confused and disoriented. You can even lose consciousness.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have to start taking insulin for my Type 2 diabetes. It sounds complicated. What do I need to know before I start? DEAR READER: The first thing you need to know is that it is simple to learn and do, and the discomfort is minimal. Tens of millions of people all over the world do it every day — and probably most of them were afraid that it would be complicated and painful before they actually started taking insulin. Insulin is a natural hormone that lowers blood sugar in all of us. In people with diabetes, the body no longer can make enough insulin to keep the blood sugar level normal. Doctors usually recommend insulin for people with Type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise and pills cannot keep blood sugar levels low enough. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels more effectively than any other available diabetes drug.
argument, which it probably will.
Your blood sugar level is affected both by what you eat and how much insulin you take. Most people on insulin or other diabetes medicines check their own blood sugar levels with simple home kits. The doctor may recommend adjustments in the dose of insulin based on these blood levels. You’ll learn to manage your blood sugar by testing your blood once or twice a day to determine whether you need to adjust your insulin dose. You’ll use a glucose meter to do the testing; that’s standard equipment for most people with diabetes. You can refrigerate insulin or store it at room temperature. But don’t freeze it. Also, discard insulin that has expired or looks cloudy or otherwise strange. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoctorK.com.

Death toll climbing in Africa Local officials take lead on preparedness
BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — More than 500 people have been killed over the past week in sectarian fighting in Central African Republic, aid officials said Tuesday, as France reported that gunmen fatally shot two of its soldiers who were part of the intervention to disarm thousands of rebels accused of attacking civilians. Aid workers have collected 461 bodies across the capital of Bangui since Thursday, Antoine Mbao Bogo with the local Red Cross said. But that latest figure does not include the scores of Muslim victims whose bodies were brought to mosques for burial. The government of the predominantly Christian country was overthrown in March by Muslim rebels from the country’s north. While the rebels claimed no religious motive for seizing power, months of resentment and hostility erupted last week in a wave of violence. The French deaths came as French President Francois Hollande arrived for a visit to France’s former colony, heading into the tumultuous capital after attending a memorial in South Africa for Nelson Mandela. The casualties underscore the volatility of the mission to disarm combatants and bring stability to a largely anarchic capital riven by sectarian violence. A mob on Monday stoned to death a suspected enemy in the street, and armed fighters have abducted and killed hospital patients. Tensions flared again Tuesday as a mob of young men set fire to a mosque in the Fou neighborhood of the capital, Bangui. Smoke billowed from smoldering vehicles nearby, and young
WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to climate change, local officials have a message for Washington: Lead or get out of the way. Local governments have long acted as first responders in emergencies and now are working to plan for sea level rise, floods, hurricanes and other extreme events associated with climate change. As a presidential task force began its work Tuesday, local officials said they want and need federal support but worried that congressional gridlock and balky bureaucratic rules too AP often get in the way.

House announced that John Podesta, a former chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, will join Obama’s inner circle, focusing on energy and climate change issues. Dixson, a task force member and a Republican, called climate resilience a key part of environmental stewardship. Neither issue should be partisan, he said, nor should it be left to the federal government. “It has to come from the community level,” he said. “It can’t be an edict from the Beltway.” Greensburg’s population has shrunk from about 1,500 people to 850 since the tornado, but Dixson said the town is thriving, even as it continues to recover. Federal assistance also was crucial after a massive flood in Colorado in September destroyed nearly 2,000 homes, washed out hundreds of miles of roads and left many small mountain towns completely cut off. But even as cities and towns relied on the National Guard and other federal help in the storm’s immediate aftermath, local leaders said the disaster illustrated problems with a one-size-fits-all approach. In Fort Collins, Colo., for instance, nearly three dozen federal agencies were involved in fixing a road destroyed by a mudslide. “Half said, ‘No, it can’t be fixed,’” said Fort Collins Mayor Karen Weitkunat. “The other half said, ‘Go ahead, that’s a problem that needs to be resolved.’”
Younger women drawing closer to men in earnings WASHINGTON (AP) — Young American women are increasingly likely to receive pay nearly equal to their male counterparts, with earnings at 93 percent of men, a new study finds. Still, those women remain as pessimistic as their mothers and grandmothers regarding gender equality. A report for release Wednesday by the Pew Research Center paints a mixed picture. While women under 32 now have higher rates of college completion than men that age, the analysis of census and labor data shows their hourly earnings will slip further behind by
the women’s mid-30s, if the experience of the past three decades is a guide. That widening gap is due in part to the many women who take time off or reduce their hours to start families. Other factors cited in the report are gender stereotyping, discrimination, weaker professional networks and women’s hesitancy to aggressively push for raises and promotions, which together may account for 20 to 40 percent of the pay gap. In all, 75 percent of women ages 18-32 say the U.S. needs to do more to bring about equality in the workplace, a percentage
similar to baby boomer women ages 49-67 and higher than other age groups. Some 57 percent of young men answered that way. Even so, just 15 percent of young women say they have been discriminated against because of their gender. “Today’s generation of young women is entering the labor force near parity with men in terms of earnings and extremely well prepared in terms of their educational attainment,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “They feel empowered in many ways,
yet when they look at the workplace, they see it as a ‘man’s world’ with the deck stacked against them.” “They think that men earn more than women for doing the same job and that it’s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for women,” she said. Women are increasingly moving into higher career positions both in government and business. They make up nearly half the workforce, and the share of women in managerial and administrative occupations is nearly equal to that of men — 15 percent compared to 17 percent. Another landmark came
Tuesday, when General Motors picked Mary Barra, a 33-year company veteran, as the first female head of a major U.S. car company. Still, women currently hold just 4.5 percent of Fortune 1000 CEO positions, the Pew report said. Andrew Cherlin, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University, attributed young women’s negative assessments about gender equality to their rising career expectations. “More doors are now open to women, but they can now see how far they are from equality in high-level jobs,” he said. The near-equal pay for young women is being

driven in large part by their educational gains. Some 38 percent of women ages 25-32 now hold bachelor’s degrees, compared to 31 percent of young men. As a result, 49 percent of employed workers with at least a bachelor’s degree last year were women, up from 36 percent in 1980. That means more women in higher-skilled, higherpaying positions. The current ratio of hourly earnings for young women to young men, now at 93 percent, is up from 67 percent in 1980 and is the highest in government records dating back to at least 1979.
