Auburn Moose marking 100 years BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — One hundred years ago, the Auburn Lodge 566 Loyal Order of Moose was born. A year later, the lodge celebrated its first birthday with a party at its first home on the southwest corner of Cedar and 10th streets. Local news reports at the time said the celebration included “with speeches, singing, banqueting and rejoicing” over the many good things the lodge experienced its first year.

On Dec. 17, the lodge will host another celebration in honor of its century of service with an open house at the Auburn Moose Family Center, 402 S. Main St. Community members are invited to visit the lodge between 3 and 10 p.m. An informal program will take place at 7 p.m. Auburn Moose Lodge administrator Mack Short joined the Moose in 1972. “Many Moose members grew up in the Moose because their parents were Moose members,”

Short said. “It’s a family-oriented group. Kids have always been welcome. I grew up in the Moose.” Short’s father was a Moose member for more that 50 years. His mother was a Women of the Moose member for more than 60 years, he added. “It’s a good organization,”

Short said. “We do a lot of things for the community. … It’s a safe place.” The family center also is a place to socialize, with social quarters, a bar, kitchen, meeting area and space for hosting dances and other events. Currently the Auburn lodge has 360 men as members and 230 Women of the Moose members. Short hopes the community will visit the lodge’s family center during the celebration open house SEE MOOSE, PAGE A6

Statistics rate as best in five years WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market is proving surprisingly resilient. Solid job growth in November cut the U.S. unemployment rate to 7 percent, a five-year low. The robust gain suggested that the economy may have begun to accelerate.

FORT WAYNE — A woman arrested for shoplifting at a Fort Wayne Walmart identified herself as her husband’s ex-wife, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. The ex-wife was arrested when the real wife failed to show up for court. According to the affidavit for probable cause, on July 23, Wendy S. Lockridge, 33, of Fort Wayne, walked out of a Walmart with clothes, food and liquor without paying for the items. Police said Lockridge told a Walmart employee that her name was Amanda Cruse. A Fort Wayne Police officer took Lockridge to the Allen County Jail where she provided police with Cruse’s social security number and date of birth. Lockridge also signed multiple documents using the signature “Amanda Cruse.” When Lockridge failed to appear for her court date, a warrant was issued for Cruse’s arrest, and the real Amanda Cruse was arrested by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department.

Report: Central African death toll up to 280 BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Christian civilians fled by the thousands to the airport guarded by French forces in this chaotic capital Friday as the mostly Muslim armed fighters who have ruled the country since March hunted door-to-door for their enemies and the death toll from inter-communal violence increased to 280 people. Bodies lay decomposing along the roads in a capital too dangerous for many to collect the corpses. Thursday’s clashes marked the worst unrest in Bangui in nine months and raised fears that waves of retaliatory attacks could soon follow. “They are slaughtering us like chickens,” said Appolinaire Donoboy, a Christian whose family remained in hiding. France had pledged to increase its presence in its former colony well before Christian militias attacked the capital at dawn Thursday. The arrival of additional French troops and equipment came as the capital teetered on the brink of total anarchy and represented the greatest hope for many Central Africans. About 1,000 French forces were expected to be on the ground by Friday evening, a French defense official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter. As night fell across the near anarchic capital, Christians fearing retaliatory attacks by the mostly Muslim ex-rebels crowded as close to the runway as possible, laying out their woven mats in front of a barbed wire coiled fence. National radio announced that at least 280 people had died, citing figures from local Red Cross officials. The U.S. State Department said it was “deeply concerned” by the violence

and praised France’s quick intervention. France signaled its amped up presence in its former colony on Friday by sending out armored vehicles to patrol the streets. A French fighter jet made several flyovers, roaring through the sky over an otherwise lifeless capital as civilians cowered at home. Britain also flew in a C-17 plane Friday loaded with equipment to help with France’s intervention. As many as 250 French troops are carrying out permanent patrols in Bangui, and “we didn’t notice any direct clashes between armed groups today,” said French military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron in Paris. On Thursday, however, 10 armed attackers in a pickup truck fired on a French position at the airport, including with a rocket-propelled grenade whose charge did not

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty, an effort to spur development and investment in green energy while balancing its environmental consequences. The change, requested by the wind energy industry, will provide legal protection for the lifespan of wind farms and other projects for which companies obtain a permit and make efforts to avoid killing the birds. An investigation by The

Associated Press earlier this year documented the illegal killing of eagles around wind farms, the Obama administration’s reluctance to prosecute such cases and its willingness to help keep the scope of the eagle deaths secret. The White House has championed wind power, a pollutionfree energy intended to ease global warming, as a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan. In other areas, too, such as the government’s support for corn-based ethanol to reduce U.S. dependence on gasoline, the White House

detonate. French forces returned fire, killing four attackers and wounding six, Jaron said. A planned vote on a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday allowed France to proceed with its mission. It coincided with the worst violence to roil the capital since March when the mostly Muslim rebels known as Seleka overthrew the president of a decade. On Thursday, Christian militias believed to be loyal to ousted leader Francois Bozize attacked the city, and hours of gunbattles ensued. The conflict in one of Africa’s poorest countries has gathered little sustained international attention since the government overthrow in March, and the dramatic developments were overshadowed Friday by global mourning for South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who died at the age of 95.

“Thanks to France and the United Nations who want to save the Central Africans, soon the Seleka attacks on civilians will stop. We have had enough of Seleka killing, raping and stealing,” said Abel Nguerefara, who lives on the outskirts of Bangui. Streets in the city were empty Friday except for military vehicles and the trucks favored by the rebel forces who now claim control of the government. Nine unclaimed bodies lay sprawled in front of the parliament building alone — local Red Cross workers didn’t dare retrieve them, or other bodies that were left to decay outside. Despite the cheers that went up when a jet engine roared overhead, France insisted it was going only reluctantly into Central African Republic and with the limited aim of doubling its presence in the country to 1,200 troops.

has allowed the green industry to do not-so-green things. Another AP investigation recently showed that ethanol has proven far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today. Under the change announced Friday, companies would have to commit to take additional measures if they kill or injure more eagles than they have estimated they would, or if new information suggests that eagle populations are being affected. The permits would be reviewed every five years, and companies would have to submit reports of how many eagles they kill. Now such reporting is voluntarily, and the Interior Depart-

ment refuses to release the information. “This is not a program to kill eagles,” said John Anderson, the director of siting policy at the American Wind Energy Association. “This permit program is about conservation.” Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Though the blades appear to move slowly, they can reach speeds of up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornadolike vortexes. Flying eagles behave like drivers texting on their cellphones; they don’t look up. As they scan below for food, they don’t notice the industrial turbine blades until it is too late.

Where real charity comes from ’Tis the season for giving. But when you give, do you know your money will help someone? Social workers say, “Don’t give to beggars.” Those who do give are “enablers,” helping alcoholics and drug users to continue bad habits. It’s better to give to charities that help the “homeless.” I put “homeless” in quotes because my TV producers have quietly followed a dozen of the more convincing beggars after “work,” and all had homes. Once, I put on a fake beard and begged for an hour. At the rate money was coming in, I would have made 90 bucks in an eight-hour day — $23,000 JOHN per year, tax-free! I see why people panhandle. STOSSEL Their success, however, means that people who give them money, no matter how good their intentions, are not engaging in real charity. Giving may make you feel better, but it doesn’t make the world a better place. So where should we give? Charity-rating services try I give to charities I can to separate good charities watch. I donate to The from scams, Doe Fund, a nonprofit but they get helping to rehabilitate conned, too. The definition ex-convicts. I saw their of “charitable “Men in Blue” working work” is rarely clear. near my apartment How should — cheerfully and the board of a nonprofit’s energetically. I thought, first-class hotel expenses “Whoever’s rehabbing during a trip these guys is doing to Africa be something right!” classified? That’s why I give to charities I can watch. I donate to The Doe Fund, a nonprofit helping to rehabilitate ex-convicts. I saw their “Men in Blue” working near my apartment — cheerfully and energetically. I thought, “Whoever’s rehabbing these guys is doing something right!” So I give money to them — and to a couple other groups I can see. Finally, I give more to charity because I’m not much of an entrepreneur. I don’t have business-building skills. But for those who do, here’s a novel idea: Don’t give to charity. Years ago, Ted Turner was praised for donating a billion dollars to the United Nations. He said he wanted to “guilt” other billionaires into giving more and told me Warren Buffet was “cheap” for giving too little. At first, the idea makes sense. Billionaires have more than they need; merely chasing more profit seems selfish. But giving it a second thought, I found a fallacy in Turner’s argument. The U.N. is a wasteful bureaucracy, leading me to assume it squandered Turner’s gift. Buffet, meanwhile, continued to direct his investors’ money to growing companies. Based on Buffet’s stock-picking success, his investments were probably a more productive use of capital than Turner’s. Money went to people making better products, inventing better things, creating more jobs and so on. Maybe Buffet’s stock picks are now funding the next Bill Gates. Today, the real Gates spends his time giving money away. He’s unusually conscientious about it. He experiments, funding what works and dropping what doesn’t. His charity work saves lives. Good for him. But Gates was also unusually skilled at bringing people better software. Had he continued doing that at Microsoft, I bet the company would have been even more productive. And Gates would have done more for the world. I tried that thought experiment on Turner, who, in turn, unclipped his microphone and walked off the set. OK, so people who give away a billion dollars don’t want to hear skepticism about their gift. But there’s little doubt capitalism helps people more. Even rock star Bono from U2 has come to understand that. He used to call for more government spending on foreign aid. Now he says: “Aid is just a stopgap. Commerce, entrepreneurial capitalism take more people out of poverty.” Bingo. If Bono gets it, Turner should, too. I applaud those who give to charity, but let’s not forget that it’s capitalists (honest ones, not those who feed off government) who do the most for the poor. They do more good for the world than politicians — and more even than do-gooders working for charities.

Letter To The Editor • Only God can heal America To the editor: “United we stand, and divided we fall.” I was 16 years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and Roosevelt declared war against Japan, and a little later against Germany. Our nation was totally united to produce war machinery to defeat the enemies. No nation ever produced war materials as America did. We were so proud to be American. It seemed that all Americans loved each other and were totally united against all enemies of America. We have been through several wars since, but we are now a divided nation. Congress is divided, conservatives and liberals are divided. And it takes an earthquake or a tornado to get us to work together. The big divider started in 1973 when the

Supreme Court ruled a mother had the right to decide if her unborn child would live or die. Since then, millions of unwanted babies have been sacrificed. Mother Teresa said, “As long as mothers kill their babies, we will have violence in the streets.” Just read your daily paper and count the shootings, robberies, rapes, drunken drivers and drug abuse. God gives all life, and He says, “Thou shalt not kill.” It seem that God can be outvoted by those who trust the Supreme Court, instead of trusting God. Genesis I and John I tell us that God is our creator and all life is from God. David said, “Before I was in my mother’s womb, God knew me.” Some believe they can eventually prove God was not our creator. They spend billions in space travel going to the moon and other planets to bring back rocks, sand and dust, trying

to find out where life started. God will tell them for free if they will only believe God. There is one more great divider sweeping through America, and that is same-sex marriage. If you say marriage is one man and one woman only, some call you a “hate monger.” God unites one man and one woman and tells them, “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.” God rained fire on Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them because the men wanted men only. In the New Testament, Romans 1:26B-27, women burned in lust for women and men for men. God gave them over to vile passion. Those who believe God and his world cannot agree with those who do not. Only God can heal America, “one nation under God.” Ray Carter Auburn

Christmas activities culminate fun holiday season Abe and Kristin’s house empties out one at a time as we all take flights back home with a week of family memories tucked inside our travel bags. The trip is quickly made with a tail wind guiding the aircraft through skies of blue. My seatmate, Donna, has sad stories to tell me and I listen intently. She is going home to say good bye to her brother and make some decisions about her life. Donna is nervous and orders two small bottles of wine on this afternoon flight. As we descend into Fort Wayne the skies are as gray and foggy as a Sandburg poem. Donna is afraid of landing in the fog. Karen reaches over and takes her hand and tells her it will be fine. I offer her chocolate which she gladly takes. We land safely through the fog onto a runway of drizzle. What a contrast this is from the bright Arizona skies, I think to myself. We say farewell to Donna and wish her well as we leave the aircraft. We gather our bags and find the old Jeep in the parking lot. Everything and everyone barely fits, but we snuggle in for the ride home. I drop off Aaron and Karen and the boys knowing I will miss their company. With the deepening fog I pull into the House at White Picket Gardens. I am greeted by two rotten pumpkins on my front porch. I sigh and decide I will deal with them when they freeze. I park the Jeep and carry in my bags to a chilly empty house. I turn up the heat and put on the tea kettle. There is a forlorn Pilgrim on my dining room table. She looks a bit tired and out

of her element on this early December day. There are other Thanksgiving objects as well. There will be time to tuck away Thanksgiving and bring out the Christmas boxes, but in the dreary rain it does not feel like it. I do not have time to lament or miss family on this first night home. I quickly change and pull back out of the driveway to meet Colleen Holman. My headlights separate the fog from the road and we meet up. I take my first deep breath and get LOU ANN into Colleen’s car as we head Metz for the annual HOMAN- toward Lady and Lassie Christmas SAYLOR Party at the Metz Christian Church. As I walk in the door the spirit of Christmas is apparent in everything! The church basement is decorated for this Christmas party. It smells like my grandma’s church from long ago. I can even catch a glimpse of her arranging food and greeting folks. The tablecloths are made of old fashioned vinyl. Garland and tinsel hang from the rafters, and glass Christmas tree jars decorate the tables. I join the merriment by telling stories and listening to the history of the church. We share punch and cookies before the Sweet Adelines sing a variety of Christmas carols. Elizabeth Gilbert is the emcee, and she is very funny. I am next with my Christmas stories. As I begin to speak I am caught up in

•

their humor and sweetness and tell stories as if time will stand still for all of us. But too soon we say farewell and I find my way home in the fog. I check my calendar for all the events heading my way. I am ready. My students greet me warmly with projects in hand. I will miss these students when the semester is over. Secret Santa gifts have piled up in my office during my absence. It is great fun to open them and wonder about the person who has my name. Back home I cozy up in my studio with a candle and a small heater when I hear the doorbell ring. It is the delivery of oranges and grapefruit from the Pleasant Lake Lions Club. Jerry Walker carries them into my kitchen. Jerry is friendly and full of stories. We talk about Elten and Carolyn caught up in the winter storms out west. Jerry tells me he worked in Colorado for a while as a young man but came to Angola to become a typesetter for the Herald-Republican. He worked there 30 years.

What Others Say • Iran nuclear deal an opportunity that requires follow-up Proponents of the Iran nuclear deal are calling it “a victory for diplomacy.” That very much remains to be seen; certainly it is a premature judgment. The same is true of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dark prophecy that the deal is “a historic mistake.” The real significance is that the deal was done at all, thanks to the relentless diplomacy of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his ability to keep our fractious allies in this endeavor — Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — on the same page. Of only slightly less importance is that the U.S. and

Iran talked substantively for the first time in decades, thanks in part to the departure of its bellicose former president, Mohammed Ahmadinejad, and his replacement by Hassan Rouhani, who claims he wants to end Iran’s pariah status. The deal reached last weekend is an interim arrangement that the parties could easily end at any time; however, it does buy six months during which the parties can begin the much harder task of reaching a long-term treaty. Reaction on Capitol Hill was mixed, with members of both parties expressing concerns that the interim pact would allow Iran to continue to enrich any uranium in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. “In my view, this agreement

did not proportionately reduce Iran’s nuclear program for the relief it is receiving,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said. “Given Iran’s history of duplicity, it will demand ongoing, on-the-ground verification. Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, who is the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, has introduced legislation that would require Iran to fully comply with the interim agreement and would prevent Obama from waiving additional sanctions unless Iran meets certain conditions for an acceptable final agreement. Corker said skepticism is widespread and Congress should hold the administration’s “feet to the fire” to ensure the

interim agreement does not become permanent. The deal could collapse if Congress, goaded by Israel, passes tougher sanctions during the life of the interim agreement. Such action would be premature. The interim pact is neither a diplomatic victory nor a grave error; it is an opportunity. If Iran thumbs its nose at the world and violates the agreement or fails to negotiate in good faith toward a permanent pact, the administration and our allies will need to restore all sanctions and perhaps take further action. In the meantime, all parties should give diplomacy a chance to work. Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel

Winter storm slams Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two people were killed on treacherous roads and schools and businesses were closed as a storm that dumped ice and as much as 10 inches of snow on much of Indiana stretched into its second day Friday. State police responded to numerous accidents Friday that shut down a section of Interstate 70 west of Indianapolis and caused a late-morning backup on Interstate 65 just south of the city, but no major injuries were reported. That was better news than Thursday night, when Mohammed A. Isse, 33,

of Chicago, died when his car was struck by a tractortrailer whose driver lost control of his truck near Richmond. At the other end of the state, Karen Price, 51, of Brazil, Ind., died Thursday night in a multiple car crash near Terre Haute. State police continued to urge motorists to use caution when traveling or to stay off roads entirely in southern Indiana, which received a second round of ice and snow Friday afternoon. The snowstorm hit Indianapolis at a busy time. Thousands of Ohio State and Michigan State fans were descending on the city

month’s premium by Dec. 31. The web is now the gateway to subsidized private health insurance for people who don’t have job-based coverage. Along with the federal site, 14 states and Washington, D.C., are running their own. As Obama invites consumers back to take a second look, here are some of the changes you can expect:

Speed and availability Independent testers question the blazing Internet speeds claimed by techies at the Health and Human Services Department, and some of the state websites, but confirm there’s been noticeable progress. “The trend is in the right direction … but there are still things they can do to make the user experience better,” said Michael Smith, a vice president of engineering at Compuware Corp., which helps companies monitor the technical performance of their websites. As of Friday morning, the number of states where consumers are experiencing unacceptably long wait times had been cut to 9, down from 26 states in late October. Conversely, Compuware now rates 17 states as “acceptable,” up from just six in October. Compuware defines “unacceptable” as more than 8 seconds average response time to load the home page. The government claims a

response time of less than 1 second. But Smith says that is likely being measured from computers with fast Internet connections and doesn’t account for the experience of consumers with less than ideal access, which is incorporated in his company’s testing. Compuware says availability — a measure of consumers’ success accessing the site — is up to 98 percent, close to the standard for commercial websites. HealthCare.gov is being measured against the standard for health care industry sites.

Window-shopping Many consumers were puzzled and frustrated when the federal website went live because it would not let them browse health plans without first setting up an account. That’s the opposite of how e-commerce generally works. Most websites ask consumers to open an account after they’re ready to purchase. The flaw drove many people to an accounts creation page that turned out to be riddled with bugs and contributed to the system’s early woes. On Monday, HHS announced the deployment of a window-shopping function that lets prospective customers see plans and prices in their area, including previously unavailable details such as deductibles and cost-sharing, as well as provider networks.

for two days of tailgating leading up to tonight’s Big Ten football championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Randy Ackerman, 54, of Lima, Ohio, wasn’t fazed by the snow and didn’t think it would affect turnout, at least not for Buckeyes fans. “We’re die-hards. We travel well,” he said. “Heat or snow, we’re there.” Crews worked to make sure travelers had clear paths, whether they were heading to Indianapolis for the game or elsewhere in the state. The state highway department said it had more than 600 trucks clearing and treating highways. Spokesman Harry Maginity said crews were able to keep most highways in good shape. “It looks like pretty wet snow, which means it’s probably not going to be drifting,” he said. “If we had a drier snow, then the rural highways would be blowing shut.” The National Weather Service reported up to 10 inches of snow near Vincennes and more than 7 inches around Bloomington. About 5 inches fell near Columbus and Franklin, both along Interstate 65 south of Indianapolis.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It doesn’t rival Amazon and Travelocity, but President Barack Obama’s much-maligned health insurance website finally seems to be working reasonably well most of the time. More than 3.7 million people visited HealthCare. gov this week — and it didn’t crash, administration spokeswoman Julie Bataille deadpanned Friday on a call with reporters. Officials say 29,000 people enrolled the first two days of the week, exceeding total signups for the 36 states served by the federal site during October, the month of its problemplagued launch. Work has shifted from zapping technical gremlins that frustrated consumers to cleaning up garbled enrollment files that the system has been delivering to insurers. “The new process put in place this week is making a difference,” acknowledged Karen Ignagni, head of the largest industry group, America’s Health Insurance Plans. “The enrollment files are getting better, but there is more work to be done to ensure consumers are covered.” While not calling it an “error rate,” Bataille says mistakes on those files are now affecting 1 in 10 transactions with insurers, down from an estimated 25 percent. She still recommends that consumers verify enrollment with their insurer, and — importantly— pay their first

MANDELA: State funeral will be in rural hometown on Dec. 15 FROM PAGE A1

“This is a celebration of the death, because we knew he was an old man,” said Radebe, whose eyes sparkled with shallow tears. “He brought a lot of changes to our community, because I grew up in apartheid. It was a very bad situation.” President Jacob Zuma announced that Mandela is to be buried during a state funeral in his rural home town of Qunu on Sunday, Dec. 15. A memorial service is to be held on Tuesday in FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Mandela’s last public appearance was at the same stadium in 2010 for the closing ceremony of the

soccer World Cup. Mandela’s body will then lie in state in Pretoria for three days. Sunday marks a national day of prayer and reflection. “We call upon all our people to gather in halls, churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and in their homes for prayer services and meditation, reflecting on the life of Madiba and his contribution to our country and the world,” Zuma said, using Mandela’s clan name. Zuma had announced late Thursday that Mandela, who had been in and out of the hospital four times since February 2011, was dead. He was last admitted in June with a recurring lung infection from which he never recovered, though he was released in September to convalesce at home. After midnight, a black SUV-type vehicle containing Mandela’s coffin, draped in South Africa’s flag, pulled away from Mandela’s home, escorted by military motorcycle outriders, to take the body to a military morgue in Pretoria. In a church service in Cape Town, Tutu, who like Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, said Mandela would want South Africans themselves to be his “memorial.”

FORT WAYNE — Teams that shoot 50 percent from the field don’t lose high school basketball games very often. And that’s exactly where DeKalb finished at in Friday night’s game against Fort Wayne North. But the Redskins’ pressure defense also forced 28 turnovers and the Barons were only 11 of 22 from the free-throw line, all of which resulted in a 51-41 setback for the visitors Friday night in By Hey Arena. “We really had a chance to win this ball game. If we take care of the basketball, we win,” said DeKalb coach Jon Everingham. “It is frustrating walking out of here with a loss. The things that we didn’t do well (Friday night) are fixable, and that’s what’s really exciting about this team.” Despite the 28 turnovers — 17 coming in the first half — DeKalb (1-2) still had a chance to win late. Trailing 44-34 with 2:33 left, the Barons made things interesting when Carson Forrest scored a bucket with 1:56 remaining, and 22 seconds later, he converted a three-point play to cut North Side’s lead 44-39. The Barons forced a turnover on the ensuing possession with an opportunity to make it a one-possession game, but DeKalb turned the ball over. That would end up being DeKalb’s final threat as the Redskins (2-0) made 5 of 6 free

Every time the Railroaders pulled within a shot of the Warriors in the first half, he seemed to have an answer and pushed the target farther away.

The Blazers (2-1) were 28-of-38 (74 percent) from the stripe, compared to a woeful 4-of-15 (26 percent) by the Cavaliers, who had received honorable mention in the latest Class 2A poll.

BARONS: Forrest scores career-high 18 points FROM PAGE B1

Barons would get no closer. “We had a game plan going in to it and we stuck to it,” Forrest said. “Be strong on defense and run our offense. “They were really just up in us and they had good ball pressure, and we turned it over a couple times, but we stuck with it.” Forrest had the best game of his varsity career, finishing with game-highs of 18 points and eight rebounds. “I was just going out there and trying to play,” Forrest said. Everingham was pleased with the way his team battled throughout the game, and called timeout with 13.1 seconds left to tell them as much, despite being down eight points at the time. “I spent that time really telling our kids how proud I am of their effort (Friday night). Not to take anything away from North, but I thought our effort was about as good as you can get in a high school basketball. We played really hard.” DeKalb was playing without two starters in leading scorer Cole Hartman and sophomore Hunter Cone. Hartman rolled his ankle in practice

Wednesday, and is day-to-day leading up to the Barons’ game against Leo on Tuesday. Everingham said Friday night that Cone, who played in last weekend’s game against Eastside, may be done for the season. He’s also suffering from an ankle injury. “We showed a little toughness and didn’t come in thinking that, oh gosh, those guys are out. We really thought we could win,” Everingham said. “Hunter is fighting through a fairly serious injury and his toughness is off the charts. He’s trying to gut it out but he may have played his last game last Saturday. We’ll evaluate him.” Tanner Moore scored 14 points (nine in the third quarter), Dahlton Daub had seven points and Gerke two points to round out the Baron scoring. Will Chrisman and Moore also had six rebounds apiece. Mike Davis led North Side with 16 points. Three players — Jeremy Jones, Terrell Crews and Tre’Vion Crews — all had eight points apiece.

BLAZERS: Moughler, Dean finish with 14 points FROM PAGE B1

tough teams can win on the road, and we wanted to be the tougher team. “I don’t know how many lead changes there were tonight, but I don’t think there was a lead change that shook us,” he said. “Defensively, we would have liked to have held them under the number of points they had, but in the grand scheme of things, I’ll take Eastside’s basketball class, toughness and work ethic that we had tonight any day.” Moughler and Dean finished with 14 points each, and Liechty — who hit three three-pointers — finished with 12. Canterbury’s Tommy McNabb led all scorers with 17. Trevor Uhl had nine an Jamison Kline had eight for the Cavaliers (1-1). The game was barely three minutes old when Canterbury head coach Scott Kreiger drew three technical fouls and was ejected. With Canterbury on offense, a Cavalier player drove to the basket and collided with Eastside’s Ryan Liechty. The officials briefly huddled and called an offensive foul against Canterbury. That resulted in the first technical foul when Kreiger argued the call. The second came in the same sequence as the officials made a Canterbury player wearing a black shirt under his white jersey from entering the game. That player took off his jersey on the bench — a technical foul. The third one occurred in the discussion that followed that technical. With 4:20 to play in the first, Eastside’s Kadis Renier hit 5-of-6 free throws, and Dean scored on a baseline drive for a seven-point swing that tied the game at 11. Despite losing their coach early, the Cavaliers led 17-15 after one. Eastside finished the half on a 11-3 run, highlighted

Gerig cushioned it on three occasions with a barrage of treys. However, Garrett stayed in the game with strong play by Justin McCoy and Matthew Singleton as the scoring margin was never more than seven points. That seven-point difference did not last long as the Railroaders pulled within three and settled down inside of four minutes remaining. The hosts finished the second quarter by going on a 13-5 run and scored the final seven points. With a Karsten Cooper bucket, Garrett overtook Woodlan and held a 30-29 lead at the break. Cooper scored 16 points in the game, second only to McCoy’s 22. Cooper also pulled down 10 rebounds and

had six assists. “We got down early, but we never let it get out of reach. We persevered throughout the first half. I think the only thing they hurt us with in that first half was rebounding and the fact Gerig had 15 points,” Bodey said. Garrett’s game play only improved from then on. The final was the highest deficit on the scoreboard and the Railroaders pulled away with the final 12 points of the contest. Following the late first-half lead change, Garrett never let go of the lead. Free-throw shooting was huge for Garrett down the stretch as it went 10-for-12 in the second half compared to 4-of-10 in the first two quarters. “I think they saw that if we

do what we do, it works. They realized if they are patient and take the drive when they have it, they don’t have to put up 3-point shots,” Bodey said. Garrett JV 50, Woodlan 29 The Railroader reserves put away the Warriors with ease after building a 15-9 lead through one quarter. Drake Lucarelli led Garrett with 10 points. Nick Stafford and Brogan McCoy added eight each. Triston Moses had 11 points for Woodlan. Woodlan Frosh 36, Garrett 31 In the freshman tilt, Woodlan pulled away late in a close-knit contest. The game was knotted at 24-24 after three. Spencer Reneau had 12 points for the Railroaders.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Petersen leaves Boise for UW SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen is headed to Washington after finally being persuaded to leave Boise State. Petersen agreed to become the Huskies’ new football coach on Friday, leaving behind an unprecedented run of success with the Broncos. The Huskies made the announcement Friday morning after Petersen reportedly met with Washington athletic director Scott Woodward on Thursday night in Boise. The decision was first reported by ESPN. Petersen met with his Boise State players Friday morning before the announcement was made. “Coach Petersen’s success and record are extraordinary, but even more impressive is the man himself,” Woodward said in a statement released by the school. “His integrity, work ethic and character make him an outstanding fit and leader of our student-athletes at UW. We are thrilled and proud to call Coach Petersen a Husky.” Petersen will replace Steve Sarkisian, who went 34-29 in five seasons at Washington before leaving earlier this week to take the job at USC. Petersen was 92-12 in his eight seasons at Boise State, turning the Broncos into a national program with two Fiesta Bowl titles. But he’s coming off the worst regular season in his tenure with the Broncos after going 8-4.

Texans fire coach Gary Kubiak HOUSTON (AP) — Houston fired coach Gary Kubiak on Friday, one day after the Texans lost 27-20 at Jacksonville for their 11th straight loss to continue their stunning fall for a team that expected to make a Super Bowl run. Houston (2-11) was flagged 14 times for a franchise-record 177 yards. Kubiak, 52, was hired in 2006 and led the team to back-to-back AFC South titles in 2011-2012 during his eight-year tenure as coach of his hometown NFL team. The Texans said they couldn’t wait any longer to start turning things around, not with the losses and undisciplined play piling up.

The first week of December has certainly been a pleasant one, but starting this weekend, winter will come upon us full force with cold. While I can handle the snow, it is the cold temperatures that always chill me more. While a lot of people still use propane to heat their ELYSIA homes, wood RODGERS burners have certainly gained a good deal of popularity in the last 10 years. Ward Upham from Kansas State University has provided some great information on how much heat each type of wood can produce. Not all firewood is created equal. Some species of trees are able to produce much more heat per cord of wood. A cord is the amount of wood in a well-stacked woodpile measuring 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 4 feet high. If you are trying to figure out how much a cord would look like, it would take 2.6 truckloads of a full-size, short box truck (level with the top of the box) to equal one cord of firewood.

Osage Orange is a very hard and decay resistant wood that burns very hot. It was used by the Osage Indians to make bows and was widely planted in hedge rows during the dust bowl to control wind erosion.

post oak 25.6, osage orange 32.6, black walnut 21.8, apple 25.8, cherry 20.0, norway pine 17.1, white spruce 18.1. So for a hotter heat, you would want to aim for the osage orange and black locust firewood. Remember to try to cut your firewood locally, and if you do need to cross state lines, make sure the wood is not quarantined by checking with the local DNR.

The amount of heat a cord of wood can produce is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTUâ€™s. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. One BTU is equal to 1,055 Joules or 252 calories. Following are heat values (in million BTUâ€™s) per cord for various species of tree. The higher the value, the better the wood: green ash 22.8, cottonwood 15.9, American elm 19.8, hackberry 21.0, honeylocust 25.6, black locust 28.3, sugar maple 24.0, silver maple 18.9, mulberry 25.3, red oak 24.0, bur oak 24.9,

Economist challenges idea of aging farmer crisis DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) â€” Agriculture economists have long warned that farmers are getting old and staying on their land longer, delaying the turnover to a younger generation. But an Ohio State University professor argues that those fears are overstated and the United States likely will have little problem replacing aging farmers as long as business is good, as it has been for the past decade. Others arenâ€™t so sure, saying while they agree with OSU agriculture economist Carl Zulaufâ€™s assessment that concerns about the unquestionably aging farmer population remain valid and create uncertainty about who will produce the nationâ€™s crops in the future. â€œI think what he said is absolutely right,â€? Iowa State University economics professor Mike Duffy said. â€œI think the conclusion heâ€™s drawing though is not necessarily the correct one.â€? Zulauf contends that just like in the 1970s, farm prosperity will draw more young workers into farming. And prosperous the business is: This year, net income from U.S. farms is expected to reach a record $131 billion. Farm wealth has also reached record levels, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with farm asset values rising 7 percent this year to a record

Mom slow to address girl’s excess weight DEAR ABBY: I’m 12 and weigh 204 pounds. I feel really fat and I want to go on a diet, but my mom won’t let me. I’m getting bad grades in gym class and need your help. — SAD GIRL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR SAD GIRL: By recognizing that you have a problem that you can’t deal with on your own, you have already taken an important first step in resolving it. The next is to talk to your gym teacher about this and enlist her aid in convincing your mother to give you the help you need. Childhood obesity is rampant in this country, and all those extra pounds could negatively affect your health — not only now, but in the future. If you have a pediatrician, the doctor may be able to discuss the importance of a healthy diet and exercise program for you with your mom.

DEAR ABBY: I am 18 and dating someone of a different race. We have been DEAR together for than ABBY more a year. The problem is my father is Jeanne Phillips very racist. Every time I sneak out to go see my boyfriend, my father wants to know who I am with. I tell him it’s “my friends,” but he knows I’m lying. I want to tell him who I’m dating, but I know he’s going to be judgmental and rude if I introduce him to

my boyfriend. Any advice on what to do? — NERVOUS IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR NERVOUS: At 18 you are too old to be sneaking around. Your father knows something is up, and he probably suspects the reason you’re not being truthful or open, so stop lying. If he wants to know why you haven’t brought the young man around, tell him it’s because you know how he would react. And IF you decide to make introductions, be sure your boyfriend knows in advance what the reaction will probably be — if he agrees to meet your dad, that is. But I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t.

Weight-loss drugs not for mildly overweight weight loss in different ways. A drug called orlistat reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from the food you eat. Other drugs suppress your appetite, help you feel full and ramp up your metabolism. The drugs that work this way have long, hard-to-pronounce medical ASK names: DOCTOR K. lorcaserin, phentermine, diethylDr. Anthony propion, benzphetKomaroff amine, phendimetrazine, bupropion, topiramate, zonisamide.

changes: metformin, pramlintide, exenatide, liraglutide. It’s ironic that the names of each of the drugs that can help with weight loss are themselves quite a mouthful. When deciding whether to recommend weight-loss drugs to my patients, I consider their body mass index (BMI). BMI estimates a healthy weight based on height. You should consider taking a weight-loss drug only if you: • Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or • Have a BMI of 27 or higher and also have one or more weight-related health problems, such as Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Before you start a weightloss drug, consider why you overeat. For example, do you overeat because of stress, bad habits or emotional issues? If so, you may benefit less from medication and more from psychotherapy or behavioral

DEAR DOCTOR K: Should I take a weight-loss drug to help me lose weight? DEAR READER: If you are only mildly overweight or just want to lose a few pounds to improve your appearance, then weight-loss drugs are not for you. On the other hand, if your health is at risk and you haven’t been able to lose weight through diet and exercise, drug therapy may increase your chance of success. There are a handful of FDA-approved weight-loss drugs on the market today. One is available over-thecounter; the others are prescription only. When I was a medical student, virtually none of them were available. The growing epidemic of obesity has led to the development of many drugs that can be helpful. None is a “magic bullet”; none melts the fat off of you while you’re watching TV. These drugs promote

You will need the help of other adults to make her understand if she can’t see that you need help now.

therapy. On the other hand, if you overeat because of hunger, then weight-loss drugs are more likely to help. Over the years, several weight-loss drugs have been taken off the market because of safety concerns. It can take time, and lots of people taking a new drug, before any safety issues become apparent. Most of the drugs now available have not been on the market very long, so talk to your doctor about your individual risks and benefits. Finally, bear in mind that you should use weight-loss drugs only in combination with diet and physical activity. To lose weight over the long term, you need to recognize and change the behaviors that led to your weight gain. Otherwise, any weight you lose is likely to return. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2013

Saudi militants staged deadly assault in Yemen ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Saudi militants were behind the massive car bombing and assault on Yemen’s military headquarters that killed more than 50 people, including foreigners, investigators said in a preliminary report released Friday. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens of the terror network’s leaders. The attack — the deadliest in Sanaa since May 2012 — marked an escalation in the terror network’s battle to undermine the U.S.-allied government and destabilize the impoverished Arab nation despite the drone strikes and a series of U.S.-backed military offensive against it. U.S. forces also have

been training and arming Yemeni special forces, and exchanging intelligence with the central government. Military investigators described a two-stage operation, saying heavily armed militants wearing army uniforms first blew up a car packed with 500 kilograms (more than 1,100 pounds) of explosives near an entrance gate, then split into groups that swept through a military hospital and a laboratory, shooting at soldiers, doctors, nurses, doctors and patients. Officials earlier said 11 militants were killed, including the suicide bomber who drove the car. It was not clear if the 12th attacker was captured or escaped. The investigative committee led by Yemen’s Chief of Staff Gen. Ahmed

al-Ashwal, said militants shot the guards outside the gates of the military hospital, allowing the suicide bomber to drive the car inside, but a gunfight forced him to detonate his explosives before reaching his target. It said the 12 militants killed, included Saudis. Two military officials told The Associated Press that wounded soldiers had told them the assailants who stormed the hospital separated out the foreigners and shot everybody in the head. Other military officials said American security agents were helping with the investigations, but that could not be confirmed. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief reporters. Yemeni commandos and other security forces

besieged the militants before they could reach the ministry’s main building, preventing them from going further than the ministry’s entrance gate. All the attackers were killed by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the committee. Yemeni security forces launched a manhunt in the capital to find the perpetrators, sparking gunbattles that killed five suspected militants and a Yemeni commando, officials said. The committee, which sent its report to Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, did not explain how it came to its conclusions The report was read on state TV and a copy was obtained by The Associated Press. Hadi met Friday with the U.N. envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar to discuss the attack. He said

that “a number of assailants have been arrested,” without elaborating. He added that the “criminals will not escape justice.” The report also raised the death toll to 56 and said more than 200 people were wounded. The foreigners killed included two aid workers from Germany, two doctors from Vietnam, two nurses from the Philippines and a nurse from India, according to Yemen’s Supreme Security Commission. But a spokesman for the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs, Raul Hernandez, said Friday that seven Filipinos were killed in the attack, including a doctor and nurses, while 11 others were wounded. The victims were among 40 Filipino workers in the hospital. Hernandez

said that the Philippines’ honorary consul reported that the others survived by pretending to be dead. It was not immediately possible to reconcile the conflicting accounts. But officials from the military hospital said Friday that at least 10 foreigners had been killed. Germany’s foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer also announced Friday that German employees of aid groups doing work on behalf of the German government have been ordered to leave Yemen “as quickly as possible” and “until further notice.” Schafer also said the German embassy will continue to operate with reduced staff and “corresponding security measures.”
