Auburn man indicted for bank heist Suspect also charged in Anderson FORT WAYNE —A federal grand jury at Fort Wayne indicted an Auburn man on a charge of bank robbery Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced. Stephen M. Long, 28, is charged in a single-count indictment with bank robbery on or

about Nov. 18, 2013. A news release from the U.S. Attorney’s office did not give details of the bank robbery. A news release from Anderson Police said Long robbed a Star Financial Bank branch in Fort Wayne on Nov. 18.

Anderson Police said its officers and the FBI arrested Anderson on Nov. 26, on a charge that he robbed Star Financial Bank on East 53rd Street in Anderson that day. They said that around 10:30 a.m. Nov. 26, he walked up to a teller with a note indicating he had a gun and demanding money. The teller handed over an undisclosed

Judge blasts spying

Governor chooses new state auditor INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A Republican lawmaker from southwestern Indiana was named the new state auditor Monday, just weeks after her predecessor stepped down four months into the job. Gov. Mike Pence tapped Evansville Rep. Suzanne Crouch to Crouch succeed Dwayne Sawyer, who submitted his resignation last month “due to family and personal concerns.” His last day was Sunday. Sawyer had been climbing the Republican Party ranks, headlining local fundraisers, before his surprise departure. He was the first black Republican to hold a statewide office in Indiana and had been expected to seek a full term as the state’s chief financial officer in next year’s election.

Police said Long fled the scene of the Anderson robbery in a 2000 Dodge Durango and was captured a short time later in a Speedway Convenience Store parking lot by officers of the Anderson Police

GARRETT — The safety and integrity of a building housing a longtime Garrett auto dealership is under investigation following a roof collapse Monday morning. Firefighters responded at 8:30 a.m. to Bill Yoder Ford in downtown Garrett, according to reports. City planner Milton Otero said the estimated 7-inch snowfall last weekend more than likely was a contributing factor in the collapse. The service area of the structure had some broken support beams, Otero said. Mechanic Mark Krider was injured when he fell while escaping the area as the collapse occurred, officials said. A DeKalb EMS ambulance crew took him for treatment. Police and fire personnel strung police tape around the entire building and blocked the intersection at the corner of Quincy and Randolph streets in fear the building might continue to weaken through the day, according to officials at the scene. Insurance investigators and the county building inspector were expected to examine the structure later Monday. Two vehicles were in the shop area of the garage, and a pickup truck remained on a hoist

City electric utility workers and NIPSCO gas utility workers dug through packed snow along an alley to disconnect lines to the

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a ruling with potentially far-reaching consequences, a federal judge declared Monday that the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of millions of Americans’ telephone records likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s ban on unreasonable search. The ruling, filled with blistering criticism of the Obama administration’s arguments, is the first of its kind on the controversial program. Even if NSA’s “metadata” collection of records should pass constitutional muster, the judge said, there is little evidence it has ever prevented a terrorist attack. The collection program was disclosed by former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden, provoking a heated national and international debate. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon granted a preliminary injunction against the collecting of the phone records of two men who had challenged the program and said any such records for the men should be destroyed. But he put enforcement of that decision on hold pending a near-certain government appeal, which may well end up at the Supreme Court. The injunction applies only to the two individual plaintiffs, but the ruling is likely to open the door to much broader challenges to the records collection and storage. The plaintiffs are Larry Klayman, a conservative lawyer, and Charles Strange, who is the father of a cryptologist technician who was killed in Afghanistan when his helicopter was shot down in 2011. The son worked for the NSA and support personnel for Navy SEAL Team VI. Leon, an appointee of President George W. Bush, ruled that the two men “have a substantial likeli-

Formal charges filed in Eastside lockdown incident BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — Formal charges have been filed against a Butler man who was arrested after an incident that resulted in a lockdown at Eastside Junior-Senior High School earlier this month. Chad J. Czaja, 34, of the 200 block of Park Lane, is charged with criminal recklessness, a Class A misdemeanor, and failure to

stop after an accident resulting in nonvehicle damage, a Class B misdemeanor. At his initial hearing Monday morning in DeKalb Superior Court I, Czaja entered preliminary pleas of not guilty. He is represented by attorney Kevin Likes. His next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 19. Czaja is accused of driving his red 2000 Dodge Durango onto a school sidewalk, endangering several students. He also is

accused of driving the vehicle into a pole and failing to stop afterward. Following his arrest, Czaja told police he meant to scare his daughter as a prank when he arrived to pick Czaja her up from school, Butler Police Chief Jim Nichols said after the incident.

According to an affidavit of probable cause filed by Butler Police Detective Matthew Tamez, police were called to the school Dec. 3 on a report of a suspicious man who was armed and on school property. Police arrived and detained Czaja. A witness told police he saw Czaja driving the red 2000 Dodge Durango through the high school parking lot and wearing

Local real estate market stable, survey finds AUBURN — The residential real estate market in DeKalb County has been stable in 2013, Good Inc. Valuation Services said Monday. The company reported the results of its survey, which it said is based on key measures important to homeowners, buyers, sellers and renters. “Year-to-date, our data, along with information analyzed from Realty-Trac and the Fort Wayne MLS, shows that the residential real estate market has been stable in DeKalb County in 2013,” said Tonya Beachy, research analyst and licensed

trainee appraiser at Good Inc. Beachy added, “Year-to-date, the average home sales price in DeKalb County is $110,000, and the median sale price has been $88,500. These figures are based on 479 properties sold.” While home prices in DeKalb County have been lower than the state average, they have increased slightly compared to one year ago, Good Inc. said. One factor affecting home prices in the county is the number of foreclosed homes. So far this year, there have been 89 foreclosures, a figure 3 percent higher than the state average, but stable

for the northeast Indiana market area, Good Inc. said. Research shows smaller towns in the county generally have higher foreclosure rates. Good Inc. said the Ashley-Hudson area has the highest foreclosure rate for the year, with eight of 14 sales listed on the MLS, and in turn, the lowest average sale prices. As foreclosure properties remain prevalent in smaller DeKalb County towns, the trend to purchase investment properties is ever growing, Good Inc. said. Its survey showed nearly half of the homes in Butler are rented or

vacant, in comparison to only 30 percent in Auburn. “Some single-family investment homes were purchased this year for as little as $15,000,” Beachy said. “Investors are taking advantage of the current market in these outlying communities by purchasing homes at low prices, refurbishing them and then converting them into rental income properties.” Beachy added, “While median sales prices per town range from $32,500 in Waterloo and up to $108,000 in Auburn, Good, Inc.’s analysis shows that the average rent for single-family homes

Commissioners deal with aging ambulances BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — DeKalb County EMS has an ambulance problem. Well, a problem with two ambulances. EMS director Randy Fox approached the county commissioners Monday to discuss options to either repair or replace two high-mileage ambulances in his fleet that have engine issues.

Fox said one ambulance, a 2006 Ford with 198,000 miles that the department had planned to trade in six months, has a blown engine. Another has 178,000 miles and already has been repaired once, Fox said. Fox said an engine issue — which runs $8,000$10,000 to repair — is forcing his hand. “The question is what do do?” Fox told the commis-

sioners. “Fix it now, try to rent one or buy a new one?” Fox said the 2009 models in the EMS fleet have been kept off the road as much as possible to save mileage. The commissioners told Fox their preference is to repair the engine on the 198,000-mile ambulance and buy a new ambulance to replace the 178,000-mile unit. Commissioner Don

Grogg said the plan will allow the department to get on a replacement rotation that doesn’t have the county buying several new ambulances at once. Fox will research new ambulances and return Dec. 30 with quotes. The engine repair will be paid out of the EMS ambulance replacement fund, he said. In other business Monday, the commissioners are expected to vote next

week on an ordinance to change the speed limit on C.R. 68 between C.R. 11-A and S.R. 327 from 55 mph to 40 mph. Residents there approached the commissioners earlier this month to discuss speeding on the stretch. The commissioners also granted approval for county highway head Eric Patton to replace a full-time employee who left the department.

Superintendent warns against business tax cut BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

BUTLER — DeKalb Eastern Schools superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens on Monday challenged the school board to contact members of the General Assembly to voice opposition to Gov. Mike Pence’s proposed elimination of Indiana’s business personal property tax. Pence has said the $1 billion cut will create jobs. Stephens, however, told the board Monday that it will kill DeKalb Eastern and other school districts.

Stephens presented a slide show at the board’s regular meeting that showed the district would lose an estimated half of its assessed value, while taxpayers would feel a 40-cent increase per $100 of assessed value. Stephens said the district would be hit with a revenue loss of some $2 million. That means, according to Stephens, the district could not fund its transportation system, bus replacement or capital improvement projects. An alternative, Stephens said, would be

to cut staff and pay for necessities with the savings, or pitch a revenue-generating referendum to the taxpayers. Stephens said he spoke with state Sen. Dennis Kruse and Rep. Ben Smaltz on Monday about the matter, and both confirmed bills are pending that would move the proposed tax cut forward. Stephens said Kruse told him he would not vote for such a bill unless there were a “dollar-for-dollar replacement,” such as cutting the homestead exemption or

an increase in county sales tax. Smaltz told Stephens he would explore letting counties decide whether to cut the tax rather than forcing a statewide cut, Stephens said. Stephens also challenged the school board members, as elected officials themselves, to contact the General Assembly and voice their concerns. “This is being pushed by the leadership of the Indiana House and the Indiana Senate and the governor,” Stephens told the board. “I have not asked you to do this in the past, but folks, you’re elected officials. You’re going to have to get ahold of your fellow elected officials if you think this is a nonstarter, because I’m not going to get very far on this.” Stephens said he would disseminate contact information for Statehouse leaders to the board. Stephens said he has spoken with leaders of DeKalb Central and GarrettKeyser-Butler schools about collectively writing a mailer to county residents detailing the proposed cut and its impact. He said he also spoke with Hamilton Community Schools Superintendent Jon Willman, who said such a measure would “be the death of Hamilton,” according to Stephens. The DeKalb Eastern board took no action on the information. In other business Monday, the board is expected to vote on the DeKalb Eastern district’s 2014-2015 calendar next month.

“You’re going to have to get ahold of your fellow elected officials if you think this is a nonstarter.” Jeffrey Stephens DeKalb Eastern superintendent

• Stephens said he met with DeKalb Central and Garrett-Keyser-Butler school officials to develop a countywide uniform calendar. Garrett will mirror DeKalb Eastern’s calendar, while DeKalb Central is weighing two options, Stephens said. As it stands now, the school year would begin Aug. 1, 2014, with two-week breaks after each grading period, and end May 29, 2015, if the proposed calendar is approved. The board also: • approved hiring Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative teacher Monica Farnham and 11 contracts for existing teachers with the cooperative; • moved its January meeting to Jan. 13; and • accepted donations to the IMPACT Institute of $2,686 in parts for marine mechanics and $2,000 for a power feed dual bench for welding.

WARSAW (AP) — An Indiana teenager has formally pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder under a plea agreement announced two weeks ago. WSBT-TV reports 15-year-old Paul Gingerich pleaded guilty Monday in Kosciusko Circuit Court to the same charge he pleaded guilty to three years ago, but then successfully appealed. Gingerich was one of three juveniles charged with killing 49-year-old Phillip Danner in April 2010 in a plot to run away to Arizona. The plea deal calls for a 30-year sentence with five years suspended, meaning Gingerich would remain under state supervision for 25 years. He could serve that time in a maximum-security facility if he gets in trouble, or in a group home, community corrections, on probation or parole if he’s well-behaved. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 3.

Mastermind of charity fraud gets 28-year term CLEVELAND (AP) — A man convicted of masterminding a $100 million, cross-country Navy veterans charity fraud was sentenced to 28 years in prison Monday. Judge Steven Gall also ordered the defendant, who identifies himself as 67-year-old Bobby Thompson, to pay a $6 million fine. Authorities say the defendant is Harvardtrained attorney John Donald Cody. The Ohio attorney general’s office, which handled his trial, asked the judge in a filing last week to sentence him to 41 years in prison. The judge rejected a request for a new trial. The defense had said comments by jurors after the verdict that they were disappointed he hadn’t testified showed they were biased against him. The defendant, whose appearance in court Monday was neat in contrast to the final days of his trial, slumped in his chair as the sentence was read. He complained to the judge about alleged abusive treatment by jailers while locked up during the trial. There was no immediate response from the sheriff’s department. Jailers said earlier that the defendant had acted erratically and had bloodied his forehead smashing it against a holding cell wall. The judge said the crimes had harmed veterans who were the intended beneficiaries of the donations and also had hurt other charities as donors became skeptical of giving. “Everyone’s afraid to

give,” Gall said. He said the sentence reflected the length, extent and amount of the charity “charade.” Defense attorney Joseph Patituce said after the verdict and again after the sentencing that ineffective legal representation issues stemming from limited preparation time might be a basis for an appeal. His client denies committing the crimes, Patituce said. The defense hinted at a

CIA covert operation and showed jurors photos of the defendant with President George W. Bush, suggesting Thompson was acting with government sanction. Thompson was convicted Nov. 14 of racketeering, theft, money laundering and 12 counts of identity theft. The prosecutor showed jurors identification cards with the defendant’s photo but different names and issued by government agencies and companies in numerous states.

legal claims, according to his LinkedIn profile. Friedland’s wife, Jamie Schare Friedland, is listed as an attorney specializing in landlord-tenant law at a firm in New York City. Both attended law school at Syracuse University, according to their online profiles. A woman who answered the phone at Epic Mechanical in Neptune, N.J., declined to comment and said Friedland’s father, who also works there, was not in the office. No one answered at several phone numbers listed for other relatives. Sunday’s encounter was the latest in a troubling pattern in Essex County, whose borders encompass crime-plagued Newark to the east as well as Short Hills and other affluent suburbs to the west. Carjackings have risen steeply in the past several

years, leading local authorities to create a multi-agency task force three years ago after a spate of crimes that included brazen daytime attacks and the carjacking of a snowplow two days after a Christmas blizzard. The partnership succeeded in arresting and prosecuting three groups responsible for most of the carjackings, and the crime rate fell temporarily. Since then, it has ticked up, with 416 last year in Essex County, a 44 percent increase from 2010. Nearly 300 carjackings were reported through July 31 of this year, according to the county prosecutor’s office. In August, authorities announced a program that uses billboards to display mug shots of convicted carjackers next to the number of years they are serving in federal prison.

Man accused in killing of girl, 9, seen with her last and her mother had just moved into the trailer park a few months ago around the beginning of the school year. They lived in an apartment above a maintenance garage at the park outside Smithville, about 30 miles southwest of Akron. The girl’s mother was at work Saturday afternoon while Reann was at home with her mother’s live-in boyfriend, said sheriff’s Capt. Douglas Hunter. She went outside to play in the snow and was with several other children in the trailer park’s courtyard, but the others went home, leaving Metsker alone with the girl, Hunter said. Reann was reported missing Saturday evening, about two hours after she was last seen with Metsker, Hunter said. Officers, firefighters and

neighbors went door to door looking for her before Reann’s body was found in the trash bin five hours after she was reported missing. Authorities spoke with Metsker soon after at the trailer home he shared with his mother, but he was not arrested until Sunday afternoon, Hunter said. A county public defender was appointed to represent Metsker, who is unemployed. A woman who answered a phone listed for him hung up on Monday. Metsker appeared for his arraignment Monday before a Wayne County municipal court judge via video from jail. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Dec. 23. County prosecutor Daniel Lutz said the case could go to a grand jury on Friday if the evidence is processed in time.

WOOSTER, Ohio (AP) — A man accused of killing a 9-year-old neighbor and hiding her body under garbage in a trash bin was building a snowman with the girl just a few hours before she was reported missing, investigators said Monday. Jerrod Metsker, 24, was the last person seen with the girl at the trailer park where both lived, a sheriff’s investigator said. He was arrested Sunday, about 12 hours after deputies found Reann Murphy’s body. A judge Monday ordered that he be held in jail on a $1 million bond. Investigators with the Wayne County Sheriff’s office described Metsker as a family friend and neighbor. Relatives said Reann

Robbers kill husband as wife watches, steal vehicle NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — An evening of shopping ended in horror for a New Jersey couple when the husband was shot to death in a mall parking garage as his wife looked on and the two assailants then drove off in their luxury SUV. The vehicle stolen Sunday, a silver Range Rover, was recovered Monday morning in a residential neighborhood in Newark, about 10 miles away from the Mall at Short Hills. The two carjackers were at large, and a local anti-crime group was offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction. Killed in the attack was 30-year-old Dustin Friedland, a lawyer from Hoboken who had worked recently at his family’s HVAC company analyzing construction-related

Oscar-winner Fontaine dies CARMEL, Calif. (AP) — Academy Award-winning actress Joan Fontaine, who found stardom playing naive wives in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Suspicion” and “Rebecca” and also was featured in films by Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang and Nicholas Ray, died Sunday. She was 96. Fontaine, the sister of fellow Oscar winner Olivia de Havilland, died in her sleep in her Carmel, Calif., home Sunday morning, said longtime friend Noel Fontaine Beutel. Fontaine had been fading in recent days and died “peacefully,” Beutel said. In her later years, Fontaine had lived quietly at her Villa Fontana estate about 5 miles south of Carmel, enjoying its spectacular view of wind-swept Point Lobos. Fontaine’s pale, soft features and frightened stare made her ideal for melodrama and she was a major star for much of the 1940s. For Hitchcock, she was a prototype of the uneasy blondes played by Kim Novak in “Vertigo” and Tippi Hedren in “The Birds” and “Marnie.” The director would later say he was most impressed by Fontaine’s restraint. She would credit George Cukor, who directed her in “The Women,” for urging her to “think and feel and the rest will take care of itself.” Fontaine appeared in more than 30 movies, including early roles in “The Women” and “Gunga Din,” the title part in “Jane Eyre” and in Max Ophuls’ histor-

ical drama “Letter from an Unknown Woman.” She was also in films directed by Wilder (“The Emperor Waltz”), Lang (“Beyond a Reasonable Doubt”) and, wised up and dangerous, in Ray’s “Born to be Bad.” She starred on Broadway in 1954 in “Tea and Sympathy” and in 1980 received an Emmy nomination for her cameo on the daytime soap “Ryan’s Hope.” “You know, I’ve had a helluva life,” Fontaine once said. “Not just the acting part. I’ve flown in an international balloon race. I’ve piloted my own plane. I’ve ridden to the hounds. I’ve done a lot of exciting things.” Fontaine had minor roles in several films in the 1930s, but received little attention and was without a studio contract when she was seated next to producer David O. Selznick at a dinner party near the decade’s end. She impressed him enough to be asked to audition for “Rebecca,” his first movie since “Gone With the Wind” and the American directorial debut of Hitchcock. Just as seemingly every actress had tried out for Scarlett O’Hara, hundreds applied for the lead female role in “Rebecca,” based on Daphne du Maurier’s gothic best-seller about haunted Maxim de Winter and the dead first wife — the title character — he obsesses over. With Laurence Olivier as Maxim, Fontaine as the unsuspecting second wife and Judith Anderson as the dastardly housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, “Rebecca” won the Academy Award for best picture and got Fontaine the first of her three Oscar nominations.

Country music loses legend Ray Price DALLAS (AP) — Ray Price, one of country music’s most popular and influential singers and bandleaders who had more than 100 hits and was one of the last living connections to Hank Williams, died Monday. He was 87. Price died Monday afternoon at his ranch outside Mount Pleasant, Texas, said Billy Mack Jr., who was acting as a family spokesman. Billie Perryman, the wife of family friend and spokesman Tom Perryman, a DJ with KKUS-FM in Tyler, also confirmed his death. Price was diagnosed with

pancreatic cancer in 2011 and it had recently spread to his liver, intestines and lungs, according East Texas Medical Center in Tyler. He stopped aggressive treatments and left the hospital last Thursday to receive hospice care at home. At the time, his wife, Janie Price, relayed what she called her husband’s “final message” to his fans: “I love my fans and have devoted my life to reaching out to them. I appreciate their support all these years, and I hope I haven’t let them down. I am at peace. I love Jesus. I’m going to be just fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Lottery jackpot nears record DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Mega Millions jackpot soared to $586 million on Monday amid a frenzy of ticket purchases, a jump that pushed the prize closer to the $656 million U.S. record set last year. Paula Otto, executive director of the Virginia Lottery and Mega Millions’ lead director, said ticket sales are ahead of projections for today’s drawing, increasing the likelihood that the record could fall by then. If the prize goes unclaimed for a 22nd consecutive drawing, the next one likely would shatter the record, set in

March 2012, she said. “I think we’ll be very close to the record, and maybe even surpass it,” Otto said, adding that sales are difficult to predict. That was enough for Drew Gentsch to play one ticket Monday morning. The attorney from Des Moines never plays, but the jackpot was too good to pass up. “I think it’s ridiculous but you have to dream big,” he said. “The odds of winning are so low, there’s no real reason to play. But it’s fun to do so once in a while.” Between 65 and 75 percent of the roughly 259

million possible number combinations will be in play when the numbers are drawn, Otto estimated. She said the jackpot may be increased one more time today in advance of the evening drawing. “Lotto players are procrastinators. They tend to buy on the day of the draw,” she said. No ticket matched the six numbers needed to win Friday’s $425 million prize. The jackpot was raised Saturday to $550 million before Monday’s jump to $586 million. It is currently the fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. history.

ruling will be in the mix. After the ruling, Andrew C. Ames, a spokesman for the Justice Department’s National Security Division, said in a statement, “We’ve seen the opinion and are studying it. We believe the program is constitutional as previous judges have found. We have no further comment at this time.” Snowden, in a statement provided to reporter Glenn Greenwald and obtained by The Associated Press, said, “I acted on my belief that the NSA’s mass surveillance programs would not withstand a constitutional challenge and that the American public deserved a chance to see these issues determined by open courts. Today, a secret program authorized by a secret court was, when exposed to the light of day, found to violate Americans’ rights. It is the first of many.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders and several hard-right groups are displaying the classic signs of a political divorce, including bitter name-calling and reprisals against one another. The recent eagerness of House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to lash out at groups that have given them fits has unshackled others in the Republican ranks to publicly question the motivation of organizations like the Senate Conservatives Fund, Heritage Action, Madison Project and Club for Growth. Such organizations disparage Republicans they accuse of following the path of least resistance in Washington and vow to replace them in primaries with conservative purists. “I think there’s a growing recognition around here that many of the outside groups do what they do solely to raise money, and there are some participants inside Congress who do the same,” said Sen. Bob Corker. He said that some of the newer senators have caught on to “the disinformation, getting people to call offices, send in small donations to a website.” “I think people are getting tired of that.

Department and the Madison County Sheriff’s Department. The news release said Long’s capture was made possible when a witness, an off-duty firefighter who was inside the bank during the robbery, followed him from the bank to the Speedway store. While the witness was following Long, he gave police information about Long’s direction of travel and location. When Long pulled into the Speedway Store, the witness pulled in behind Long and asked him for directions, distracting him long enough for the police to arrive to make the arrest, police said.

When police asked him about it later, he stated he did not remember doing that, the affidavit added. When asked about hitting the pole, Czaja stated that either his brakes were going bad or that he did not turn in time to avoid hitting it, the affidavit said. When asked about leaving the scene, Czaja said he saw police coming when he was still in the parking lot and that he pulled into Green Street, where he was stopped by police, the affidavit said.

Officers also found a rifle in the vehicle, as well as a handgun, the affidavit said.

The news release said Long was questioned by police and the FBI and admitted to the Anderson robbery along with the Nov. 18 robbery of the Star Financial Bank in Fort Wayne. Police told the Anderson Bulletin that the Anderson robbery was similar to the Fort Wayne robbery. During the first robbery, a man entered the bank and handed a teller a note demanding cash and indicating he was armed. The man kept his hand in his coat pocket the entire time, as though he were concealing a weapon. The robber left the bank in a vehicle with a description similar to the Durango

they want to clear a lane to pass amnesty,” said Daniel Horowitz, policy director for the Madison Project, who described the overall differences with Republican leaders as irreconcilable. Michael Steel, spokesman for Boehner, scoffed at the link between the budget deal and immigration. “The agreement has nothing to do with the need to fix our broken immigration system,” Steel said in a statement Monday. It wasn’t always this acrimonious. Tea partyers and conservative activists helped the GOP claim the House majority in 2010 and seize state legislatures that redrew congressional boundaries to the GOP’s advantage. Those new lines enabled Republicans to withstand strong Democratic turnout in the 2012 presidential year and hold their House edge, a margin the GOP is expected to maintain or even increase in next year’s midterm elections. The outcome was far different in Senate races. Outside conservative groups backed less-viable candidates who flamed out in general elections in Colorado, Nevada and Delaware in 2010 and in Indiana and Missouri in 2012.

of it before I got here,” said the Tennessee Republican. Increasingly in public, Boehner and McConnell are challenging the outside groups’ credibility — and complaining that they are the ones tarnishing conservatism. But it goes both ways. In the recent dust-up over the budget deal, the outside McConnell groups suspect that Boehner has a hidden motive. They suggest he’s anxious to put economic fights in the rear-view mirror so he can tackle contentious immigration legislation early next year, before the first round of March primaries in Texas and Illinois. The groups’ suspicions were heightened by the recent high-profile budget success of Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who favors a way out of the shadows for the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. in violation of the law, and in Boehner’s hire of a Senate staffer who worked on bipartisan immigration legislation for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. “It’s very easy to see that

Pacers lose 1st at home INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Josh Smith had 30 points, Greg Monroe finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds, and the Detroit Pistons handed Indiana its first home loss Monday night, stunning the Pacers 101-96. The Pistons won for the second time in six games, ending a six-game skid in the series and a nine-game losing streak on the Pacers home court. Lance Stephenson had a season high 23 points, while Luis Scola scored 13 of his season-best 18 in the fourth quarter for Indiana (20-4), which was 11-0 at home coming into the game. Indiana and Oklahoma City were the only NBA teams to start Monday night with perfect home records. Detroit held a 55-40 rebounding edge and outscored the Pacers in the paint. Indiana tied the score four times and got as close as 96-94 late in the fourth. Indiana, which heads to Miami on Wednesday night for a rematch with the two-time defending champs, struggled offensively. The Pacers repeatedly got beaten up inside and never could quite dig itself out of an early hole. Even in the second half, when the Pacers typically dominate, they couldn’t. Smith scored Detroit’s first eight points of the second half and when Brandon Jennings knocked down a 3 with 7:47 left in the third, the Pistons led 68-59. With the Pacers showing their frustration, Detroit took advantage and extended the

Back in the mix INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts coach Chuck Pagano befriended John Harbaugh years ago. Now Harbaugh’s former defensive coordinator in Baltimore is about to become a Ravens fan all over again. After seeing three AFC division leaders lose in Week 15, AFC South champion Indianapolis moved back into contention for a first-round bye with Sunday’s 25-3 win over Houston. If the Colts and Ravens each win their final two games, Indy can start prepping for a divisional round game at home. “I always root for those guys, so I guess we’ll be rooting for those guys again,” Pagano said Monday. “Our focus is on us because it really won’t matter if we don’t take care of business, but we’ll root for those guys, too.” SEE COLTS, PAGE B2

Indiana cut the deficit to 79-73 after three, but Detroit rebuilt an 89-79 cushion midway through the fourth. And when the Pacers thought they had an answer as Scola scored 10 straight points to make it a six-point deficit with 5:56 to play, the Pistons again pushed the lead to 96-89. Indiana made one last charge, getting within 96-94 on Stephenson’s 3 with 1:17 left, but the Pistons closed it out by making five free throws in the final minute. It was that kind of night for Indiana — all night, which never completely recovered from Detroit’s initial 13-3 run that made it 23-14 late in the first quarter. Heat 117, Jazz 94 LeBron James finished with 30 points, nine rebounds and nine assists despite sitting some of the second half after twisting his left ankle, Dwyane Wade added 27 points and Miami rolled past Utah. It was Miami’s 17th straight victory over a Western Conference opponent, the second-longest regular-season streak by an Eastern Conference team in NBA history. Boston won 20 straight over the West during a nine-month span of 1973. Chris Bosh scored 20 points for the Heat, who moved within two games of Indiana for the East lead. Miami plays host to the Pacers on Wednesday. Alec Burks scored 31 points for Utah, which got 17 from Derrick Favors.

FREMONT — The Fremont Community Schools board of education accepted the resignation of Nick Maksimchuk as Fremont High School’s football coach at its Monday meeting. Maksimchuk, 30, wants to spend more time with family, especially his 2-year-old son Keaton. Nick made the decision a couple of weeks ago and will continue to be a social studies teacher at FHS. He said he would consider getting back into coaching sometime in the future. “It was definitely the right time to step away. I just want to spend time with my son,” Maksimchuk said.

Barons fall in contest at Goshen BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

GOSHEN — The weather was dastardly for DeKalb fans making the trip northwest for Monday night’s non-conference battle with Goshen, a make-up game from Saturday night. The Barons’ shooting wasn’t much better than the weather. DeKalb was 5 of 22 (23 percent) from the field through three quarters and was 6 of 26 with three minutes left, all of which spelled doom for the Barons in an 46-33 loss to the Redskins. The Barons (2-3) were 0 of 13 from 3-point land. “I thought we got a little discouraged from the outside. Sometimes you get a little tight when you’re not hitting those shots,” said DeKalb coach Jon Everingham. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t win or lose basketball games based on if you hit shots; I think you find better shots. And we weren’t able to do that tonight. “Goshen did a good job switching up their defenses. But we scout Goshen, we watch their

films, and it’s not something that surprised us. We just needed to do a better job executing to get better shots when things aren’t going well from the outside for us. If we hit 6-7 3s, the game’s a much different story.” DeKalb did make four field goals late in the game to bring its shooting percentage up to 34 percent (10 of 29). Despite the Barons’ struggles from the field, they were still in contention to win the game. Following a bucket from Carson Forrest and two Dahlton Daub free throws, Goshen (3-2) led 31-25 with 4:47 left in the game. But from there, the Redskins ripped off an 8-0 run over the next two minutes to take a 39-25 lead. Austin Woollet made a free throw, followed by a back-breaking 3-pointer from Deric Haynes, two free throws from Woolett and a basket from DJ Ambrose to put the game out of reach. “We played solid defensively for about 2 1/2 quarters, and that kept us in the game,” Everingham said. “We got discouraged enough that it started affecting other parts

of our game. They made huge plays in transition in the third and fourth quarters and deserved to win that game.” Goshen also used a third-quarter run to break open a close game. Leading 16-14, Haynes and Colton Potter hit back-to-back 3-pointers, to go along with a Haynes lay-up, to give Goshen a 24-14 lead. But the Barons cut it back to six points with two free throws and a basket from Cole Hartman’s. Hartman’s bucket, with 50 seconds left in the third quarter, was only the second field goal the Barons had made since there was 1:38 left all the way back in the first quarter. There weren’t any shooting woes early for Hartman, though. He scored eight points in the first period — making three field goals — to push the Barons out to an 8-4 lead. Goshen wouldn’t take the lead for good until there was 2:21 left in the first half on a Woolett basket. Hartman led the Barons with 14 points and seven rebounds. Tanner Moore matched Hartman’s rebounding total.

With QB debate over, Bears focus on playoffs LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The great quarterback debate in Chicago is over. Now, the Bears can focus on a bigger issue, like making the playoffs. They got Jay Cutler back from an ankle injury and took a step toward the postseason with a 38-31 victory at Cleveland on Sunday. That put them a half-game ahead of Detroit in the NFC North, with the Lions playing Baltimore on Monday night, and gave the Bears (8-6) back-toback wins just when they looked like they were dropping out of contention. They’re in a better spot now as they get ready to visit Philadelphia this weekend. Cutler overcame a shaky start against the Browns while completing 22 of 31 passes for 265 yards after missing the previous four games with a high left ankle sprain. He also validated coach Marc Trestman’s decision to go with him even though Josh McCown had played so well in his absence. “It means a lot,” left tackle Jermon Bushrod said. “If he can do that, if he can live up to his word with the way Josh was playing, then you know if he

can do that and let the quarterback know he can do it ... He was just being true to his team, true to his word. And that just means a lot to our team.” Trestman had said for weeks that the job was Cutler’s when he was ready to return. Even so, there was plenty of debate leading up to the game. There were reports of division in the locker room, and Cutler even acknowledged after the game that he was feeling some extra pressure. He talked to Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte and the leaders on the offensive line in Roberto Garza and Bushrod to make sure they were on board with him playing. Trestman was adamant, and he saw no need to take the temperature of the locker room. In his mind, playing Cutler was the right decision — period. And he made that clear early on. “I stayed resolute, I think, in that I felt it was in the best interest of the team from the beginning to make sure that everybody knew the direction that we were going to go,” Trestman said. Cutler threw two first-half interceptions but came on strong down the stretch, finishing

FREMONT: Eagle seniors Beatty, Hostetler honored by board FROM PAGE B1

“I was very fortunate to be give a shot at age 23. You learn a lot about the sport and you learn a lot about yourself.” Maksimchuk went 16-46 in his six seasons at the helm with two sectional wins in Class 1A. That was the most wins by an Eagle football coach since Dan Callahan, the current Trine University compliance coordinator and wrestling coach who won 41 games and reached two 1A sectional final games at FHS from 1995 to 2002. Maksimchuk’s best season came in 2009, when he led the Eagles to a 6-5 mark, including 4-4 in the Northeast Corner Conference. Fremont was 2-8, 1-7, this fall. Maksimchuk has had a solid core group leading his team in his tenure, and had a few guys give college football a try, including linebacker Taylor Hastings at Saint Francis and quarterback Chandler McDowell at Franklin. Senior running back-wide receiver Nate Beatty is likely going to play college football. But the Eagles struggled with low numbers playing football throughout Maksimchuk’s tenure. Fremont has generally been in the 30s from grades 9-12, and suited up just 28 boys for its 58-19 first-round sectional home loss to Southwood. Maksimchuk was used to that situation going back to his high school playing days at New Lothrop, Mich, which is northwest of Flint, and his teams were able to enjoy a lot of success. “The numbers game, I’m used to it,” Maksimchuk said

of the Fremont situation. “We’ve teetered around in the 30s. “We’ll have a small senior class, but our sophomore class is very talented.” The resignation of football assistant coach Travis Foster was also accepted at Monday’s school board meeting. Top Eagles honored The Fremont Community Schools board of education honored FHS seniors Beatty and Abby Hostetler and veteran Eagle cross country coach Moses Castillo for outstanding athletic performance. Hostetler and Castillo led the Fremont girls cross country team to its second straight semistate meet, its second straight West Noble Sectional championship and its second straight Northeast Corner Conference Meet title. Hostetler earned her third consecutive All-State podium finish in her fourth straight state finals meet. She placed seventh in the state meet at Terre Haute in 18:18.8 on Nov. 2. “If she’s not the best female athlete in Fremont history, she is in the top five,” Fremont athletic director Roger Probst said of Hostetler. Beatty was recently picked to the Class 1A Senior All-State Team at wide receiver by the Indiana Football Coaches Association and was honorably mentioned to the Class 1A All-State team by the Associated Press. He started in all 41 games in his prep football career. Jennifer Decker contributed to this report.

with three touchdown passes to help the Bears strengthen their playoff standing. They could get another boost this week if star linebacker Lance Briggs returns from his fractured shoulder. Trestman said the Bears will make a decision on Friday. He also said to forget about cornerback Charles Tillman returning in the playoffs. Tillman tore his triceps against Detroit on Nov. 10 and the Bears left open the possibility of a comeback in the playoffs after he was injured against Detroit on Nov. 10 by placing him on the injured reserve/designated to return list. Tillman was eligible to start practicing this week, but Trestman said the two-time Pro Bowl pick is out for the rest out for the rest of the season. As for Cutler, Trestman liked what he saw on Sunday. “We all saw how he handled the adversity in the game,” he said. “It didn’t start out well for him. ... I’m sure the way his teammates rallied around him — not just the offensive side, the entire team rallied around him. It wasn’t a good start, we all know that. The team continued to move forward and play hard.”

COLTS: Indianapolis finds itself right back in the seeding chase FROM PAGE B1

Last Monday, after losing at Cincinnati, the Colts (9-5) appeared to be locked into the AFC’s No. 4 seed and were trying to generate some momentum before hosting their first playoff game of the post-Peyton Manning era. But after losses by Denver (11-3), New England (10-4) and Cincinnati (9-5) this past week, the Colts find themselves right back in the seeding chase. Indy closes out the season with a trip to Kansas City, which locked up a playoff spot with a win at Oakland, and at home against a Jacksonville team that has been much better over the second half of the season. Win both and anything,

including a longshot jump to the No. 1 seed, is still possible. Cincinnati finishes at home against Minnesota and Baltimore. New England visits Baltimore and wraps up the regular season at home against Buffalo. Denver has trips to Houston and at Oakland, and the Chiefs close things out at San Diego. So if the Colts and Ravens win their last two, Indy have a better overall record than either the Bengals or Baltimore and would win a tiebreaker over New England on better conference record. They’re just not looking at it quite the same way. “Regardless of what

happens with anyone else, we want to win the rest of our games and kind of be catching fire here at the right time going into the playoffs,” left tackle Anthony Castonzo said. “We want to be playing our best ball regardless of what happens with any other teams.” After six weeks of slow starts and mostly frustrating football, the Colts looked more like the early-season team that jumped out to a big division lead. They led 20-3 at halftime, forced two turnovers, set up another score with a long punt return and produced their most lopsided victory since Sept. 29. It was easily their most

complete game since Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne went down with a season-ending knee injury Oct. 20, and the difference came down to adjustments Andrew Luck & Co. made this week. Indy started the game with a no-huddle offense, got more receivers involved with a series of screens and was able to run the football in the second half. Darius Butler picked off two passes, too, giving him eight over the last two seasons, and Robert Mathis forced his second safety of the season. That’s how the Colts want things to look each week, not just against the scuffling Texans.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Arizona, Syracuse stay 1-2 in AP Top 25 NEW YORK (AP) — Arizona remains the runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll after winning a close game at Michigan on Saturday. The Wildcats (11-0), who won 72-70, received all but two of the first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. Syracuse (10-0) got the other two No. 1 votes and remains second in a poll, with the top eight teams holding the same spot from last week. Ohio State is third followed by Wisconsin, Michigan State, Louisville and Oklahoma State. Duke and Villanova, which moved up two spots, were tied for eighth, while Connecticut dropped one spot to round out the top 10. North Carolina, which beat Kentucky 82-77 on Saturday, moved from 18th to No. 14. The loss dropped the Wildcats, the preseason No. 1, from 11th to No. 19.

UConn women stay No. 1 in AP poll NEW YORK (AP) — The UConn women’s basketball team remains the unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press poll, with a showdown against second-ranked Duke looming tonight. It will be the 52nd meeting between the top two teams in the poll, with the No. 1 team holding a 31-20 advantage. The top 10 remained the same as last week with Tennessee, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Stanford, Louisville, Maryland, Baylor and South Carolina following the Blue Devils. Colorado, LSU, Oklahoma State, North Carolina and Iowa State were the next five. Georgia was 16th followed by Penn State, which fell five spots after losing to South Dakota State. Purdue, Nebraska and Oklahoma were the next three. California, Iowa, Syracuse, Florida State and Gonzaga round out the poll. The Seminoles entered the Top 25 this week.

Bruins’ Thornton appealing 15-game suspension TORONTO (AP) — The Boston Bruins’ Shawn Thornton has decided to appeal his 15-game suspension for punching and injuring unsuspecting Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik. Thornton’s agent, Anton Thun, confirmed in an email that his client was appealing. The NHL Players’ Association announced it had informed the league of that plan before the 48-hour deadline to do so passed. As laid out in the collective bargaining agreement, the appeal first goes to Commissioner Gary Bettman. If Bettman upholds the suspension, Thornton and the NHLPA can then elect to appeal to a neutral arbitrator. Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta is the only player to use this appeals process under the new CBA, and no player has gone to the neutral arbitrator. Bettman upheld Kaleta’s 10-game suspension for an illegal hit on Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnston. Orpik was knocked unconscious in the Dec. 7 incident and has not played since because of a concussion.

Diamondbacks acquire closer Reed from White Sox PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired closer Addison Reed from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for third base prospect Matt Davidson. Reed, who turns 25 later this month, ranked fifth in the American League and seventh overall in the majors with 40 saves last season. In 68 appearances, he went 5-4 with a 3.79 ERA and had eight blown saves. He walked 23 and struck out 72. Opponents batted .215 against the right-hander. The 22-year-old Davidson made his major league debut last season, appearing in 31 games with Arizona. He hit .237 with three homers. In 115 games with Triple-A Reno last year, Davidson hit .280 with 32 doubles, 17 homers and 74 RBIs. Arizona selected Davidson in the first round of the 2009 draft, the 35th selection overall.

UConn guard to have shoulder surgery STORRS, Conn. (AP) — UConn guard Rodney Purvis, who is sitting out this season after transferring from North Carolina State, plans to have surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The school says the 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman will undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday morning at the UConn Health Center in Farmington. The school says the surgery also will tighten up muscles to stabilize a painful condition that has bothered Purvis since high school. The tear and condition were discovered during an MRI done earlier this year. The school says it made the decision to have the surgery now, while Purvis is sitting out under NCAA rules following his transfer.

Recycling has lots of room to improve e’ve come a long way with recycling in the past 25 years, but we still have such a long way to go. This month marks the 25th anniversary of the Garrett Recycling Center, a pioneering effort started by volunteers at a time when few local communities offered ways to recycle waste. The Garrett operation’s volunteers make recycling easy with drive-through convenience. But a sign of progress sits just outside its walls — new bins that allow recycling at all hours of the day. Garrett residents also now can have their recycling picked up at curbside — joining other local communities with that service. But despite all those steps forward, a new study shows that 92 percent of what Hoosiers throw in the trash could be recycled or composted. In other words, less than 10 percent of our trash truly belongs in a trash can, according to a Ball State University report. About two-thirds of our waste consists of materials that could be used again to make A Ball State products — paper study says less new and paperboard, than 10 percent plastics, metals and glass. of our trash Another 17 percent belongs in a of our waste is food trash can. scraps (11 percent) and yard trimmings (6 percent) that could be turned into compost. Electronic waste makes up an especially important category. Since 2011, it’s been illegal for Hoosier homes, small businesses and schools to discard electronic items in the trash, because they contain toxic materials. The Ball State study says really, we’re throwing away money. It found 77 Indiana companies that use recycled materials to make new products, accounting for 30,000 jobs. It estimates that better rates of recycling could create many more jobs for Hoosiers. Eight out of every 10 recycling-based jobs are in metals, which get sold to scrap dealers and melted into steel and other products. We do a good job of recycling metals because of the money to be made on all sides. The challenge for our future is creating more and stronger incentives to recycle other types of waste. Twenty-five years ago, the Garrett Recycling Center took a big step forward in making recycling more convenient. Since then, we’ve made drop-off bins and curbside recycling widely available, but using those services depends on people acting in good conscience. In most cases, it doesn’t make a dime’s worth of difference to a resident if he or she drops recyclables into a recycling bin or a trash container. And even for those with good intentions, opportunities to recycle electronic waste remain inconvenient. Except for e-waste, we may have reached the limit of recycling rates we can achieve through more convenience. To whittle down that figure of 92 percent unnecessary waste, we’ll need ever better ways to motivate the public, which responds best when it affects the pocketbook. In many communities, the family that sets out a full trash container and never recycles pays the same as the family next door with an overflowing recycling bin and nearly empty trash can. Too often, residents who recycle pay more, not less. Until that changes with a savings to those who recycle, rates of recycling may not change much, either.

will never again see a man like Madiba. And try as we may, I think we will find it impossible to do better than Madiba’s example. But President Obama was correct in encouraging the citizens of the world to reach inside themselves and find the peace of Nelson Mandela that lies within. If each and every one of us inserted just a little of it into our walk through life, what an impact we would have on the world. Rest well, Madiba. We in South Africa and others around the world will continue to embrace and celebrate the life of sacrifice you gave your people, and your legacy will live on in each day’s efforts to continue to grow the rainbow nation into unity. “When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace.” — Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, 1918-2013 Michelle Ramus Spencerville

TV or not? Is anyone still watching? e were a Nielsen family for a week in November. We received little diaries to fill out, marking when and what we watched on TV for a week. If we recorded a show and watched it later, we wrote that down, too. The first thought that runs through your head when you start filling out the diary is to give the shows you love a boost, even if you went to a movie that night or to a friend’s house. Should I write down what I would have watched? Then I realized, no, it’s my favorite show’s job to keep me from going to the movies when it’s on. Or at least get me to record it. So we were very scrupulous with our diaries. It turns out that other than the nightly news, we don’t really watch much TV at all. I imagine every family watches TV differently: Some people leave it on all day long; others just watch certain shows. We are the others. Sue watches a lot of football; me, I can barely sit through the Super Bowl. Sue watches college football on Saturday, the pros on Sunday and I watch stuff I’ve recorded on Sunday night. There was space at the back of the diary where we could write notes about our viewing habits or comments about televi-

Auto bailout all but forgotten as sales surge When President Obama orchestrated the multibillion-dollar bailout of the U.S. auto industry in 2009 — GM and Chrysler were headed into bankruptcy, Ford was struggling — his many critics derided it as either a nefarious socialist plot or an attempt to buy the votes of autoworkers about to lose their jobs. In any event, the government made out like a capitalist when it began to sell its ownership shares in GM and Chrysler and Obama did indeed win, except Indiana, the industrial belt — including Michigan, the home state of Mitt Romney, who despite being the scion of an auto company president, favored letting GM and Chrysler go bankrupt. Remember Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock of Evansville who

sion in general. They even said we could use extra sheets of paper if we liked. So I told them this: Most of what is on television is not just bad — it is toxic. Remember the Miley Cyrus blowup a few months ago on the MTV awards show? The one that did exactly what a publicity stunt is supposed to do — get her tons of free publicity? Ninetynine percent of the country didn’t even see the show, but that didn’t stop the professional blatherers (all on TV, of course) from giving her all the free publicity one person could stand. There was not a word about the MTV show that aired right before the “awards” show. It’s called “16 and Pregnant,” a long-running series on MTV which, if you go by the lack of outrage, is just hunky-dory. Doesn’t anyone find it odd that if we ran a transcript of the dirty jokes and double entendres on last night’s prime-time sitcoms in the newspaper, people would cancel their subscriptions in droves? Why is it that TV can get away with things print can’t? (Not that we’d want to.) Because money. It is all about advertising money. But let me ask you, when was the last time you bought something because you saw it advertised on TV? Is that why you bought your car? Because you saw it doing figure

eights is a desert? Is that why you bought the food in your fridge? Are you really going to decide what kind of beer to drink because one company’s ads have cute horses and another one’s ads don’t? Do you think there’s a man alive out there who hasn’t heard of Viagra or Cialis? Why are they still advertising? But if advertisers want to throw their money away, television is happy to let them. It turns out a lot of us barely watch television on TV. We watch Netflix movies on our computers; we watch three-minute clips of the late-night shows when our friends post the links on Facebook. When we do actually sit in front of the set, we do it alone, watching something we recorded a month ago. Sitting in the living room watching one show that’s “fun for the whole family” is an idea that went out with floppy discs and mix tapes. And why is it legal for cable and satellite TV to sell us “packages” that charge us for channels we don’t watch? Maybe cable TV companies haven’t noticed what the Internet did to the record, book and newspaper businesses the past few years. But they will. After it’s way too late to save themselves.

What Others Say •

companies alone — saved 1.5 million jobs and stopped a wave of bankruptcies from sweeping through the industry’s suppliers. The American auto industry was caught in a triple whammy — a global economic downturn; a mix of products that ran heavily to high mileage pickups and SUVs just as fuel prices began to soar; and crippling legacy costs from previous union contracts that gave foreign makes, even those produced in the U.S., a cost advantage of $350 to $500 a vehicle. Thanks in no small part to that bailout and the economic recovery, November auto sales were 9 percent above a year ago with sales running at an annual pace of 16.4 million vehicles for the year, the strongest since February, 2007.

fought the bailout, taking the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court? Mourdock talked principle, but his opponents said if successful, his move would cripple the economy. In the end, Mourdock lost this battle, and his bid for the U.S. Senate. USA Today, in its dissection of the 2012 presidential election, said, “In the end, there is no overestimating how large of a role that the auto industry bailout played in President Obama’s re-election.” And, also in 2012, CNNMoney said of the bailout, “The U.S. auto industry’s recovery is one of the biggest success stories of the last four years.” The Michigan-based Center for Automotive Research believes the massive infusion of taxpayer funds — as much as $60 million on the two

Mother-in-law spoils birthday surprise DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law sent my 7-year-old son a gift and a card for his birthday. They arrived about a week early. A few days before his birthday, she called and asked if he had received them. He said he had, but before he could explain that he hadn’t opened them, she started talking about the gift inside, revealing the surprise. I have now “heard” she’s upset with me and my son for this awkward moment. She says that from now on she would like a phone call when her cards or gifts arrive, so she can “hear his enjoyment over the phone even if they arrive early.” I don’t think my son did anything wrong. When a gift arrives in advance of an occasion, must it be opened immediately? Or can it wait for the actual birthday or

DEAR DOCTOR K: I worry a lot. Should I be worried that I worry too much? DEAR READER: I’m a little worried that you’re worrying about worrying. But only a little. Anxiety (worry) can be a healthy response to uncertainty and danger. But constant worry and nervousness may be a sign of a condition called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). GAD is characterized by debilitating worry and agitation about nothing in particular or anything at all. In contrast, other types of anxiety disorders, such as specific phobias, arise from particular situations. For example, some people become suddenly very worried if they see a spider — any spider, not just a black widow or a tarantula. People with GAD tend to worry about everyday matters. They can’t shake the feeling that something bad will happen and they will not be prepared. They

assumptions. This form of therapy can help you learn new ways to respond to anxiety-provoking situations. Medications can also be an important part of treatment. There are several widely prescribed anxiety medicines, too many to name in a short column, but the most common types of anxiety medicines are called benzodiazepines. Doctors commonly prescribe antidepressant drugs to treat anxiety. There are even more anti-depressant medicines than anxiety medicines. They can be particularly effective when a person suffers both from anxiety and depression. In my experience, many people suffer from GAD. They worry all the time, and it interferes with their lives — but they don’t seek help. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoctorK.com.

Macy’s tough on shoplifting Harvard forced NEW YORK (AP) — Outside the view of paying customers, people accused of shoplifting at Macy’s huge flagship store are escorted by security guards to cells in “Room 140,” where they can be held for hours, asked to sign an admission of guilt and pay hundreds in fines, sometimes without any conclusive proof they stole anything. As shoppers jam stores ahead of the December holidays, claims of racial profiling at department stores in New York have helped expose the wide latitude that laws in at least 27 states give retailers to hold and fine shoplifting suspects, even if a person hasn’t yet technically stolen anything, is wrongly accused or criminal charges are dropped. “You must remember, these people are not police officers; they are store employees,” said Faruk Usar, the attorney for a 62-year-old Turkish woman who sued Macy’s, which some customers say bullied them into paying fines on the spot or harassed them with letters demanding payment. “When they are detained, they are not yet even in a real jail.” Industrywide, more than $12 billion is lost to shoplifting each year. The laws, which vary on strictness and fine amounts, allow stores to try to recoup some losses. Under New York’s longstanding law, retailers may collect a penalty of five times the cost of the stolen merchandise, up to $500 per item, plus as much as $1,500

to clear buildings after bomb threat

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Four buildings on Harvard University’s campus were evacuated Monday after police received an email claiming that explosive devices may have been hidden inside, but after hours of searches and disruptions to final exams, no suspicious devices were found. The buildings were evacuated and access to Harvard Yard was restricted after the email was received at about 8:40 a.m. Monday, shortly before students were AP set to begin final exams. Investigators from A security agent walks the floors at more than 40 states of retailers holding several agencies searched Macy’s in New York. Claims over racial shoplifting suspects and assessing the buildings for hours and profiling at department stores in New fines, even if a person hasn’t yet technicleared students to return to York have helped expose the practice in cally stolen anything. all four by mid-afternoon.

among students that the email was a hoax timed to coincide with finals at the school. “I have a good guess somebody called it in so they wouldn’t have to take an exam,” said Alexander Ryjik, a junior from Alexander, Va., who was just about to take his Politics of American Education final when the evacuations were announced. “It’s frustrating because now the exam will have to be postponed,” he said. Harvard did not immediately say when students would be allowed to take the finals that were cancelled because of the evacuations. The mood on campus was calm as students streamed out of Harvard Yard on a frigid morning with temperatures in the 20s. The gates around the yard were closed and people were allowed to leave but not enter unless they had school IDs. A classroom building was also briefly evacuated Monday at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, which has 16,000 undergraduates and graduate students who are also taking final exams this week. University police got a call from someone who said they had seen a person with a gun in the building, which was closed while university, Boston and state police searched it. They determined there was no one with a gun and the call is being investigated.
