RISE Inc. clients, from left, Krista Smith and Tayla Harding, enjoy chatting with

Santa and their turkey lunch. It was all part of the annual RISE Christmas luncheon.

BY MIKE [email protected]

Northeast Indiana’s fi rst wintry blast of 2013 could be on its way, with the possibility of up to a half-foot of snow, the National Weather Service Northern Indiana is predicting.

On the heels of dangerously cold wind chills Thursday, snow is possible tonight and Saturday, with the possibility of signifi cant accumulations.

A weather system moving through the Ohio Valley from California is expected to spawn conditions that could bring heavy snow, NWS said.

“Current computer model solutions indicate a potent upper air disturbance over southern California will eject out of the southern Rockies tonight and then lift northeast through the Ohio Valley on Saturday,” the advisory said.

Snow could develop Friday night, continuing through Saturday afternoon.

“Current projections would indicate a potential for 4 to 6 inches of snow along and south of a Rochester to Toledo (Ohio) line. However small fl uctuations in the track and intensity of this system could signifi cantly alter potential snow accumulations,” the advisory said.

ANGOLA — More than 100 RISE Inc. clients and staff members were treated to a turkey lunch, Christmas carols, dancing and chatting with Santa Claus on Thursday.

It was all part of RISE’s annual Christmas luncheon presented by Angola Rotary and Angola Elks Lodge.

More than 12 years ago, Don Rodgers had the idea to hold the luncheon for RISE.

RISE serves developmentally disabled clients in Steuben and DeKalb counties.

“I don’t do it. The Elks and Rotary do it,” said Denise Kreais, RISE executive director. “It’s their way of giving back. It’s amazing, the community support, and clients look forward to it every year.”

Kreais said the lunch is a nice treat for RISE staff members as well because the Rotarians and Elks do all the work.

Last year, RISE was able to take the leftovers home. Management served the food to clients as a Christmas Eve meal for those without family. Kreais said it’s simply all done because of the staff’s love of its clients.

Chuck Sheets, a Rotarian and Elk, said some of the clients have been attending each year the luncheon has been held in their honor. He said the Rotary pays for and serves the food and the Elks do the cooking and provide the lodge.

In between dishing up lunches, the Rotary and Elks broke into singing Christmas carols.

Dr. Matt Stevens, Rotary president, said it’s all about spreading the Christmas spirit.

“It’s a combined effort,” he said. “It’s to see the looks on their faces.”

Clients laughed and were especially excited when Santa handed out candy canes. Tom Wilcoxson gave the meal a thumbs up.

“We get to get out of work and the best part is eating,” he said. His friend, Doug Cooper, laughed and agreed.

Karen Birchielld smiled big when she saw Santa approaching. “I like Santa. I want a new blue coat,” she said.

Amy Harper, another client, said she really liked the stuffi ng.

Santa greeted clients and said he gets more attention at this time of the year. He even said

he has an ornament clients made him last year hanging from his sleigh’s rear view mirror.

Santa boogied with clients, like Brian Vail, who joked, laughed and showed Santa his moves.

After RISE clients thanked Rotarians and the Elks like Jim Wall, who said he liked hanging out with his friends at the lunch and wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

FROM STAFF REPORTSANGOLA — Seven fi re depart-

ments responded to a rural Angola pole barn fi re in the 100 block of North Old S.R. 1 Thursday.

The fi re caused an estimated $55,000 in damage, Angola Fire Department public information offi cer T.R. Hagerty said.

The barn is owned by Tracey L. Takach. There were no injuries.

Hagerty said the electrical fi re was deemed accidental. The fi re was reported at 9:20 a.m. and departments were on the scene until 11:30 a.m. battling in single-digit temperatures.

Fire departments responding to the fi re included those from Angola, Fremont, Hamilton, Ashley, Hudson, Steuben Township and Metz and the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department and emergency medical service.

Firefi ghters work to put out a fi re at a barn on Old S.R. 1 on Thursday morning. The fi re caused about $55,000 damage and required seven departments to battle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Battle-fatigued and suddenly bipartisan, the House voted Thursday night to ease across-the-board federal spending cuts and prevent future government shutdowns, acting after Speaker John Boehner unleashed a stinging attack on tea party-aligned conservative groups campaigning for the measure’s defeat.

The legislation, backed by the White House, cleared on a vote of 332-94, with lopsided majorities of Republicans and Democrats alike voting in favor. Final passage is expected next week in the Senate.

The events in the House gave a light coating of bipartisan cooperation to the end of a bruising year of divided government — memorable for a partial government shutdown, fl irtation with an unprecedented Treasury default and gridlock on immigration, gun control and other items on President Barack Obama’s second-term agenda.

In the end, the debate in the House was

Recycling pickup delayed in Angola

ANGOLA — Due to the extreme cold weather, Republic Services Recycling routes are running behind schedule.

All those missed on Thursday stops will be serviced Friday.

Jim Smith with Republic asked residents to leave recycling containers out to be emptied on Friday.

Guard unit returns from Afghanistan

TRAFALGAR (AP) — Members of an Indiana National Guard unit marched behind Santa Claus as they arrived at a ceremony welcoming them home after a 10-month deployment to Afghanistan.

About 110 soldiers from the 1438th Transportation Company based at Camp Atterbury were greeted with cheers Wednesday from hundreds of people who fi lled the gymnasium at Indian Creek High School in Trafalgar.

Some 30 relatives of Sgt. Joanna Thompson were on hand, just as many of them were when she returned from a deployment to Iraq a few years ago. Debra Lindsay tells the Daily Journal it is a blessing to have her sister home in time for Christmas.

Maj. Lisa Kopczynski says the soldiers provided security escorts for vehicles transporting food and other supplies to bases while in Afghanistan.

Stutzman holding health care session

FORT WAYNE — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman will hold what he describes as an “Obamacare listening session and open house” Monday from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

Stutzman said he encour-ages Hoosiers impacted by the Affordable Care Act to share their stories and suggestions.

The event will take place at his offi ce in the E. Ross Adair Federal Building, 1300 S. Harrison St., Suite 3105, in downtown Fort Wayne.

KOKOMO (AP) — Someone has again anonymously dropped a gold Krugerrand coin into a Salvation Army red kettle in a central

Indiana city.Salvation Army Capt.

Dale Brandenburg says the South African coin was found in one of its Kokomo kettles last

week and it was sold it for $1,220. The Kokomo Tribune reports this marks the fifth straight year that a Krugerrand donation has been made in the city.

Brandenburg says the coin sold for about $400 less than last year when the price of gold

was higher.He says the donation

of the coin is a big boost since the group is about $50,000 short of its $82,500 fundraising goal for Kokomo.

Brandenburg says it’s always exciting to find one of the gold coins inside a kettle.

JUDY OXENGER JOHNSTON

A romp in the snowThe fi rst measurable snow that hit the area on Wednesday left about an inch of the white stuff, enough to get people thinking about the holidays and, for some, to get out and have some fun, including this

furry guy. Today there’s supposed to be snow coming to northeast Indiana that, by Saturday, could leave up to 6 inches of snow.

INDIANAPOLIS — As ice begins to form on many waterways, Indiana Conservation Offi cers with the Department of Natural Resources are calling on citizens to put safety fi rst.

Conservation offi cers said every winter, thousands of Hoosiers enjoy fi shing, skating, hiking or just sliding around on frozen ponds and lakes. However, every year, people drown after falling through ice.

The offi cers issued these tips to remember before going onto a frozen lake or pond:

• No ice is safe ice.• At least 4 inches of ice

is recommended for safe ice fi shing; and 5 inches is needed for snowmobiling.

• If you don’t know, don’t go.

• Wear lifejackets or fl otation coats.

• Carry ice hooks and rope gear.

• Parents are strongly encouraged to closely supervise all children’s activities on frozen waterways.

• When participating in any recreational activity on ice, partnering up is a must. This includes ice fi shing.

Depending on conditions, ice can change from several inches thick to nearly open water within just a few feet. Flowing water, such as rivers and streams, should be avoided when covered by a layer of ice. Water surrounded by sand often freezes with inconsisten-cies. Wind, waterfowl and beavers also can keep areas of ice thin.

A fall into icy water can result in a quick onset of hypothermia for the victim, which can lead to catastrophic consequences if not treated immediately.

“If you see a person fall through the ice, call 911 immediately with clear and concise instructions on the location of the victim,” a DNR news relase said. “Attempts to rescue a victim should begin only after calling 911. Going into the water after the victim should be the last option in a rescue effort.”

DNR offi cers warn about thin ice

Former Komets exec, owner dies

FORT WAYNE — Former Fort Wayne Komets executive, owner, general manager and coach Ken Ullyot passed away Thursday at age 92, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports.

Ullyot came to Fort Wayne to coach the Komets in 1958. He also served the team as general manager and owner at different times until he retired in 1986. Ullyot led the Komets to the 1963 IHL Turner Cup as a coach, the 1965 champion-ship as general manager and the 1973 Turner Cup Title as an owner.

In addition to the three IHL championships, the Komets made seven trips to the fi nals under Ullyot’s direction. In 1997 The Hockey News named Ullyot the IHL’s All-Time Greatest General Manager. In addition, the IHL honored its Western Conference Champion by presenting them with the Ken Ullyot Trophy.

Greater Fort Wayne Inc. opposes gay marriage ban

FORT WAYNE — Greater Fort Wayne Inc.

on Thursday unveiled its legislative priorities for the coming year and announced its board of directors opposes a proposed state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

The proposed constitu-tional amendment, House Joint Resolution 6, is expected to go before the General Assembly during its 2014 session. The amendment would prohibit same-sex marriages and civil unions.

“We need to be compet-itive on a national level and be recognized as a community that thrives on diversity, innovation and inclusion,” Mark Becker, CEO of Greater Fort Wayne, said in a statement. “Such legislation hinders our ability to grow and prosper, and could delay our vision of becoming a top metro center in the United States.”

Vera Bradley income, earnings decline

FORT WAYNE — Handbag manufacturer Vera Bradley Inc. on Wednesday reported net income of $15.2 million for its fi scal third quarter, a decline of more than 14 percent from $17.7 million in the year-ago period.

Earnings per share of

37 cents were down almost 16 percent from 44 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Net revenue was $130.1 million, a decrease of 6 percent from last year’s $138.3 million.

While third-quarter results were in line with the company’s expecta-tions, new CEO Robert Walstrom said in an earnings release the company is lowering its outlook for the fourth quarter.

Teen sentenced to 65 years for murder

GOSHEN — An Elkhart teen who pleaded guilty to murder for his part in a fatal drive-by shooting was sentenced to 65 years in prison, according to news reports.

The Elkhart Truth reports Jesus Macedo-Perez, 17, pleaded guilty Nov. 14, and agreed to the maximum sentence for a murder charge. By accepting Macedo-Perez’s plea, the state removed a criminal gang enhance-ment.

The enhancement could have doubled Macedo-Pe-rez’s sentence if he was found guilty of murder and if the state proved he was participating in criminal gang activity.

TERRE HAUTE (AP) — Indiana State Univer-sity could see a financial boost if a company is successful in drilling for oil near the school’s campus.

Crews are expected to start setting up equipment Saturday on univer-sity property near the downtown Terre Haute campus and then start drilling work next week.

Past oil production in the area and an analysis of recent seismic surveys indicates an oil reservoir is present, Steve Miller, Pioneer Oil Co.’s chief financial officer, told the Tribune-Star.

“We’re very excited to get going,” he said. “We’ve spent consid-erable time and money getting prepared for this. We’re ready to find the results.”

How much drilling the company does will depend on the fi ndings from the fi rst well. Drilling a well takes about 30 days, Miller said.

Numerous other oil wells are in operation around Terre Haute, with many starting up following a large discovery in 2011 on property near the city belonging to the Hulman family that owns the

Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Indiana State has previously capped old wells around campus that might have been drilled in the 1920s or earlier.

“We’ve been aware of the existence of oil, and changes in technology and drilling techniques have made it much more feasible than what it would have been several years ago,” said Diann McKee, the university’s vice president of business affairs and finance.

Indiana State’s agreement with Pioneer provides that drilling equipment be located at a

former industrial site on university-owned property east of campus and horizontal drilling will be used to reach oil and gas beneath the 12,000-student campus.

McKee said royalties from the oil drilling will go toward an estimated $100 million in delayed mainte-nance project on campus, including repairs to roofs, windows, mechanical or electrical systems.

“We haven’t even begun to think about what potential may be there,” she said. “Pioneer seems to be fairly confident they are going to find something.”

ISU hopes for oil profi tsPORTAGE (AP) — A

proposed 47-mile toll road that would link northwest Indiana and Chicago’s south suburbs passed a key hurdle Thursday when a regional planning board voted in favor of it, clearing the way for it to be submitted for federal approval.

The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission approved the Illiana Expressway, which would connect Interstate 65 near Lowell with Interstate 55 south of Chicago, on a weighted voted of 76-20, The Times of Munster reported. Each member’s vote was based the population of the community the member represented.

Bob Alderman, the Indiana Department of Transporta-

tion deputy commissioner and a non-voting member of the planning commission, urged members to approve the expressway, saying it will make the Interstate 80-94 Borman Expressway and other roads safer.

“Do you feel good about your families being out there (on the Borman)?” Alderman asked. “Do you feel good about your friends being out there?”

Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. failed in his attempt to delay the vote, urging the commission to wait because the NIRPC committee in charge of implementing its 2040 plan had been unable to come to a decision for or against the Illiana Expressway.

Expressway OK’d

Robert FriesnerPLYMOUTH — Robert

L. Friesner, 75, passed away at 2:04 p.m. on Wednesday, December 11, 2013, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka.

Robert was born on July 16, 1938, in Middlepoint, Ohio, to Dwight and Datha (Fox) Friesner. He graduated from Van Del High School in 1956. While in high school he played both basket-ball and baseball. He then met and married his wife of 55 years, Barbara Joyce Rawlings.

He attended Findlay College and after he received his degree, he began his teaching career which lasted 39 years. He and Barbara Joyce spent their teaching years at West Noble in Ligonier, then moved to Lawrence Lake in Plymouth after they retired.

His years in the classroom teaching U.S. history gave him much joy, and he did a great job keeping students’ attention. However, those less attentive students were brought back to his history world with a fl ying eraser. He spent his afterschool hours coaching cross-country with the help of his wife for many years. He worked his runners hard and had high expectations. However, many fi ne young men came through his program, including a state cross-country champion and three state-qualifying teams.

He also used his love of basketball to coach a team to a sectional champion-ship. Robert also coached wrestling, track and taught driver’s education. He was also a member of the Lions Club and West Noble Classroom Teachers’ Associ-ation and served on the Ligonier Library Board.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Joyce, and three daughters: Sherry Hughes, Deb (Larry) Miller and Kate (Josh) Harris; four grandchildren: Ryan, Tyler, Kalee and Maddie; brothers, Gerald (Mary) Friesner, Harold (Carrol) Friesner and Tom (Sharon) Friesner; and sisters-in-laws, Ellen Friesner and Sandy Friesner; along with several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a twin brother, Bill Friesner.

The viewing will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday, December 16, 2013, at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth. Funeral services will follow visitation at 7 p.m. in the funeral home.

Burial will be in New

Oakhill Cemetery, Plymouth.Memorial gifts may be

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea on Friday announced the execution of Kim Jong Un’s uncle, calling the leader’s former mentor a traitor and “worse than a dog.”

The announcement came only days after Pyongyang announced through state media that Jang Song Thaek — long considered the country’s No. 2 power — had been removed from all his posts because of allegations of corruption, drug use, gambling, womanizing and leading a “dissolute and depraved life.”

Jang was seen as helping Kim Jong Un consolidate power after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, two years ago. Jang was the latest and most signifi cant in a series of personnel reshuf-fl es that Kim has conducted in an apparent effort to bolster his power.

Some analysts see the purge as a sign of Kim Jong Un’s growing confi dence, but there has also been fear in Seoul that the removal of such an important part of the North’s government — seen by outsiders as the leading supporter of Chinese-style economic reforms — could create dangerous instability or lead to a miscalculation or attack on the South.

Tensions are still high on the Korean Peninsula following a torrent of threats in March and April by Kim Jong Un’s govern-ment against Washington, Seoul and Tokyo, including vows of missile and nuclear strikes and warnings that Pyongyang would restart nuclear bomb fuel produc-tion.

Jang was married to Kim Jong Un’s aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, the younger sister of Kim Jong Il. He was earlier described by state media as “abusing his power,” being “engrossed in irregularities and corruption,” and taking drugs and squandering money at casinos while undergoing medical treatment in a foreign country.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Missiles fi red by a U.S. drone slammed into a convoy of vehicles traveling to a wedding party in central Yemen on Thursday, killing at least 13 people, Yemeni security offi cials said.

The offi cials said the attack took place in the city of Radda, the capital of Bayda province, and left charred bodies and burnt out cars on the road. The city, a stronghold of al-Qaida militants, witnessed deadly clashes early last year between armed tribesmen backed by the military and al-Qaida gunmen in an attempt to drive them out of the city.

There were no immediate details on who was killed

in the strike, and there were confl icting reports about whether there were militants traveling with the wedding convoy.

A military offi cial said initial information indicated the drone mistook the wedding party for an al-Qaida convoy. He said tribesmen known to the villagers were among the dead.

One of the three security offi cials, however, said al-Qaida militants were suspected to have been traveling with the wedding convoy.

The CIA declined to comment on the reported drone strike. While the U.S. acknowledges its drone program in Yemen, it

does not usually talk about individual strikes.

If further investigations determine that the victims were all civilians, the attack could fuel an outburst of anger against the United States and the government in Sanaa among a Yemeni public already opposed to the U.S. drone strikes.

Civilian deaths have bred resentments on a local level, sometimes undermining U.S. efforts to turn the public against the militants. The backlash in Yemen is still not as large as in Pakistan, where there is heavy pressure on the government to force limits on strikes — but public calls for a halt to strikes are starting to emerge.

In October, two U.N. human rights investigators called for more transparency from the United States and other countries about their drone programs, saying their secrecy is the biggest obstacle to determining the civilian toll of such strikes.

The missile attacks in Yemen are part of a joint U.S.-Yemeni campaign against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which Washington has called the most dangerous branch of the global terrorist network.

Thursday’s drone strike is the second since a massive car bombing and coordinated assault on Yemen’s military headquarters killed 56 people, including foreigners.

Al-Qaida claimed responsi-bility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens of the group’s leaders.

Security forces in the Yemeni capital boosted their presence Thursday, setting up checkpoints across the city and sealing off the road to the president’s residence, in response to what the Interior Ministry called threats of “terrorist plots” targeting vital institutions and government buildings.

Meanwhile, in the Yemen’s restive northern, ultraconservative Sunni Muslim militants and rebels belonging to a branch of Shiite Islam battled each

other with artillery and machine guns in clashes that killed more than 40 people, security offi cials said.

The violence between Islamic Salafi fi ghters and Hawthi rebels has raged for weeks in Yemen’s northern province of Saada, but the latest sectarian clashes marked an expansion of the fi ghting to the neighboring province of Hagga. The government brokered a cease-fi re last month to try to end the violence, but both sides have repeatedly broken the truce.

Offi cials said clashes began when ultraconser-vative Salafi s took over a Hawthi stronghold in a mountainous area near the border with Saudi Arabia.

Yemeni offi cials claim drone hit wedding party

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSHeaping seven nomina-

tions on both the con-artist melodrama “American Hustle” and the grimly historical “12 Years a Slave,” the Golden Globes nomina-tions set up a showdown of contrasts: comedy and drama, light and dark, white and black.

The two fi lms were validated as Academy Awards front-runners in the Globes nominations announced Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif., by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, refi ning what had been a scattered awards season in a year many consider encour-agingly plentiful of worthy movies.

The differences between the two top-nominees are vast. While David O. Russell’s fi ctionalized caper “American Hustle” takes a playful, exagger-ated approach to an already outlandish story (the FBI’s scandal-uncovering Abscam investigation in the disco 1970s), Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave,” based on Solomon Northup’s 1853 memoir, is unfl inching in its portrait of Southern slavery — a subject Hollywood has seldom depicted rigorously or truthfully.

“I feel this fi lm is pivotal and just good for the world,” said Lupita Nyong’o, who was nominated for best supporting actress. The other nominations for “12 Years a Slave” include best picture, drama; best actor for Chiwetel Ejiofor; best director for McQueen;

and best supporting actor for Michael Fassbender.

“American Hustle,” though equally dramatic as it is comedic, is for Russell a closely felt story of self-re-newal. Reteaming much of the casts from his last two acclaimed fi lms (“Silver Linings Playbook” and “The Fighter”), the movie’s warm reception completes a personal redemption for the director.

“There is not a molecule in my body that isn’t humbly grateful,” said Russell. “From the second we made ‘The Fighter,’ it’s been a journey that began from a low point for me to a new period that I feel my life was leading up to.”

“American Hustle” received nominations for best picture, comedy; Russell

for best director; Christian Bale for best actor, comedy; Amy Adams for best actress, comedy; and Jennifer Lawrence, last year’s Oscar darling, for best supporting actress.

The distinction drawn by the Globes between drama and comedy-musical, won’t be there for Oscar voters, who’ll have to weigh the differences of “12 Years a Slave” and “American Hustle” — that classic dichotomy of hard-to-watch and easy-on-the-eyes — against each other.

The fi eld can’t be said to have narrowed too much, though. The innovative, 3-D space odyssey “Gravity,” which received four nomina-tions Thursday including best dramatic fi lm and best actress for Sandra Bullock, will surely be more of a heavyweight at the Academy Awards, which honor technical achievement categories that the Globes don’t.

Bob Barker’s 90th birthday present is urging one more contestant to “come on down” from the audience on “The Price Is Right.”

The veteran game-show host, at the helm of “The Price Is Right” from 1972 to 2007, was invited back by current host Drew Carey on Thursday to celebrate the milestone birthday.

He moved a little more slowly, and his microphone was a little thicker, but Barker fell right back into the groove. The audience gave him a standing ovation, and he joined with Carey in encouraging viewers to spay or neuter their pets — Barker’s longtime cause.

Barker celebrates 90th on ‘Price’

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Composer Steven Sametz has written dozens of pieces in his long and prolifi c career, perhaps none so personal as the one he’s about to begin: a requiem for the victims of the school-house massacre in Newtown, Conn.

The Lehigh Univer-sity music professor grew

up about 20 miles from Newtown, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012.

“I know well what it was like to grow up in a small Connecticut town, and in what should have been, for all, a really beautiful time of life,” Sametz said in an

interview at Lehigh, a private school north of Philadelphia. “And it struck me that these children were cut from that, tragically.”

Sametz recently won a $25,000 music prize from the University of Connecticut to compose a piece for chorus and orchestra, based on the idea that music can aid the healing process — and he’s

seeking ideas and input from children around the U.S. His working title: “A Child’s Requiem.”

“This is just my way of putting something into the world that might be positive or helpful in the face of something that was horrifying,” he said.

Musicians often respond to tragedy by working out

their emotions in song and helping provide catharsis to others. Music played a huge part in the one-year observance of the Sept. 11 attacks, for example, with choral groups around the world performing Mozart’s “Requiem” on the anniver-sary of the moment when the fi rst plane hit in New York.

Work starts on Newtown-inspired ‘Child’s Requiem’

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fi elds, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

Lewis Carroll, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonder-land & Through the Looking-Glass”

While the bare trees and fi elds nestle in under their blankets, a silence settles over the natural world. Set out on the trail and any small movement of a nondormant woodland creature echoes through the calm. This time of year resonates with quiet solitude. Unless you’re human.

As we prepare for the holiday season, nature sits back and observes our often frenzied bustle. In our house, we spend our evenings making crafts and cookies to give as gifts, which we then wrap in plain white paper and decorate with crayon while listening to Christmas music. And then they must be arranged

(and rearranged) around our grapevine tree, which is almost buckling under the weight of clumps of my daughters’ (million) favorite ornaments. Between that and practicing our new

songs on the piano, we are together in almost everything we do. It is anything but solitary and silent. In fact, the season tends to give rise to shrieks of delight and a mad dash for to the store for an “essential”

forgotten item.We jitter in anticipation

of a coveted dumping of snow so that we can burn off some of the excitement by breaking nature’s calm with the creation of snow men (and snow angels and dogs and cats and snow moms and dads and kids). Then with frozen fi ngers we reluctantly retreat to the warmth of the house and sip

hot cocoa and turn on one of our favorite holiday movies.

Ah, December. Whether you nestle under a mound of quilts and sip cocoa or busy yourself with holiday preparations and snow lawn art, may you remember what the season’s about: togeth-erness, peace, and doing for others. Enjoy. The seasons of nature and of life are often over before we even realize they have begun.

FROM THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION

A tenderloin is the ideal dinner for two: easy, fast and simple. This marinated tenderloin would be great as is with simple sides like grilled asparagus and corn on the cob or can be served as the main dish for a spicy holiday carry-in.

Chipotle marinated pork tenderloin

Ingredients1 canned chipotle chile

in adobo plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (see Cook Tips)

1 clove garlic, minced1/2 cup orange juice3 tablespoons lime juice1 tablespoon red-wine

vinegar1 teaspoon dried oregano1/2 teaspoon ground

cumin1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon freshly

ground pepper8 ounces pork tenderloin

(see cook tips), trimmed of fat

Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.

Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasion-ally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145° F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cook’s tip: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are

smoked jalapenos packed in a fl avorful sauce. Find them with Mexican foods in large supermarkets.

One pork tenderloin typically weighs about 1 pound, enough for 4 servings. You can marinate a whole pound in the same amount of marinade used to marinate the 8 ounces in this recipe and have enough cooked tenderloin for two dinners (for two people). Or freeze half for up to three months.

To make ahead: Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Continuing a furious pace of shuttle diplomacy aimed at securing an elusive Israeli-Palestinian peace deal by spring, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry opened meetings Thursday in the Middle East on his ninth trip of the year to the region.

Concerned that a fi nal status agreement may not be possible by the May target that the two sides accepted when they resumed talks in August, senior U.S. offi cials said Kerry was hoping for a framework accord that would contain the principles of a comprehensive pact, but not specifi c details. If such an outline could be achieved, the negotiations

could be extended beyond the nine-month timeline originally set by Kerry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the offi cials said.

The offi cials, who spoke to reporters aboard Kerry’s plane on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly, stressed that an agreement on all issues — including security, borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees — by May remains the goal. But, should that prove unworkable, they said a framework

agreement would buy time for additional negotiations. Netanyahu and Abbas agreed after numerous rounds of meetings with Kerry to negotiate for a minimum of nine months.

A framework accord, the offi cials said, would be a “logical step” on the path to a fi nal status agreement.

As rare, heavy snow fell on Israel and the Palestinian territories, Kerry met Thursday evening with Abbas in Ramallah. He is to see Netanyahu on Friday before heading to Jordan and then fl ying to Vietnam and the Philippines.

In Ramallah and Jerusalem, he will also follow up on elements of a West Bank security

plan, ideas for which he unveiled on his most recent visit to the region just last week, and other points of potential progress. But his latest visit comes amid Palestinian unhappiness with the security plan and few, if any, tangible signs of progress.

Kerry, along with special U.S. Mideast peace envoy Martin Indyk, met separately and then together for about three hours Monday with chief Israeli negotiator Tzipi Livni and her Palestinian counterpart, Saeb Erekat, Psaki said. Livni and Erekat were in Washington for a Mideast conference in which President Barack Obama, Netanyahu and Kerry partic-

ipated. Kerry also spoke Wednesday by phone with Netanyahu.

On Monday, though, top Abbas aide Yasser Abed Rabbo said if Kerry fi nalized a framework accord, he would be breaking a promise to try to negotiate a fi nal agreement in the current round of talks.

The Palestinians are concerned that a framework deal will accommodate very specifi c Israeli security demands while offering only vague promises to the Palestinians, Abed Rabbo said.

Security arrangements between Israel and a future Palestine would be central to such a framework. Kerry has argued that progress in

negotiations is only possible if Israeli security concerns are addressed fi rst.

The security proposals presented last week to Abbas and Netanyahu include arrangements for the border between Jordan and a state of Palestine.

U.S. offi cials have refused to discuss details, but Palestinian offi cials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the details of the negotiations, say they would give Israel fi nal say at that border for at least 10 years and would also have a military presence in the strip of land next to it, the West Bank’s Jordan Valley.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Residents in some parts of the U.S. are signing up for health care coverage at a signifi cantly greater rate than others through the new online insurance marketplaces now operating in every state.

The discrepancy may trace back to the political leanings of their elected leaders.

Newly released federal fi gures show more people are picking private insurance plans or being routed to Medicaid programs in states with Democratic leaders who have fully embraced the federal health care law than in states where Republican elected offi cials have derisively rejected what they call “Obamacare.”

On one side of the political divide are a dozen mostly Democratic leaning states, including California,

Minnesota and New York. They have both expanded Medicaid for lower-income adults and started their own health insurance exchanges for people to shop for federally subsidized private insurance.

On the other side are two dozen conservative states, such as Texas, Florida and Missouri. They have both rejected the Medicaid expansion and refused any role in running an online insurance exchange, leaving that entirely to the federal government.

The new federal fi gures, providing a state-by-state breakdown of enrollment in the new health care program through November, showed that the political differences among leaders over the initiative are turning into differences in participation

among the uninsured.Even though many

conservative states have higher levels of poverty and more people without health coverage, fewer of them may receive new insurance, said Dylan Roby, an assistant public health professor at the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California, Los Angeles.

With the patchwork implementation of the federal health care law, “the gap will exacerbate,” Roby said

The U.S. Health and Human Services Depart-ment reported this week that 364,682 people had signed up for private coverage through the new health insurance marketplaces as of Nov. 30 and an additional 803,077 had been determined eligible for Medicaid.

Health disparities exist

tame by comparison with Boehner’s criticism of Republican-favoring outside groups that at times have been more of an obstacle to him than Democrats.

“I think they’re misleading their followers,” the Republican speaker said of the groups, whom he pointedly also blamed for last fall’s politically damaging partial govern-ment shutdown. “I think they’re pushing our members in places where they don’t want to be. And frankly, I just think that they’ve lost all credibility” by opposing legislation before the details are known.”

He mentioned no organi-zations by name, although it appeared he was referring to Heritage Action and Club for Growth, both of which have sought to push the House further to the right than the Republican leader-ship has been willing to go.

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., a chief GOP architect of the deal, made the conser-vatives’ case for support. The measure “reduces the defi cit by $23 billion. It does not raise taxes and it cuts spending in a smarter way,” said the Budget Committee’s chairman, whose handiwork could well be challenged in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries.

The second-ranking Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, joined other party leaders in swinging behind the measure, even though he noted that he represents 62,000 federal workers and said future government employees will pay higher pensions costs because of the bill. “This agreement is better than the alternative” of ever deeper across-the-board cuts, he said.

The agreement, negotiated by Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington — and endorsed by the White House — would set overall spending levels for the current budget year and the one that begins on Oct. 1, 2014.

That straightforward action would probably eliminate the possibility of another government shutdown and reduce the opportunity for the periodic brinkmanship of the kind that has fl ourished in the current three-year era of divided government.

Thamsanqa Jantjie gesticulates at his home during an interview with the Associated Press in Johannesburg, South Africa, Thursday. Jantjie, the man accused of faking sign interpre-

tation next to world leaders at Nelson Mandela’s memorial, told a local newspaper that he was hallucinating and hearing voices.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The man accused of faking sign interpretation while standing alongside world leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service said Thursday he hallucinated that angels were entering the stadium, has schizophrenia and has been violent in the past.

Thamsanqa Jantjie said in a 45-minute interview with The Associated Press that his hallucinations began while he was interpreting and that he tried not to panic because there were “armed policemen around me.” He added that he was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than one and a half years.

The statements by Jantjie also raise serious security issues for Obama, other heads of state and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who stood next to Jantjie as they made speeches at FNB Stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg’s famed black township. The ceremony honored Mandela, the anti-apartheid icon and former president who died on Dec. 5.

A South African deputy Cabinet minister, Hendri-etta Bogopane-Zulu, later

held a news conference to announce that “a mistake happened” in the hiring of Jantjie. However, many questions remain, including who in the government hired the company that contracted Jantjie, how much money the government paid the company and Jantjie’s own involvement with the company — and even whether it really exists.

AP journalists who visited the address of the company that Jantjie provided found a different company there, whose managers said they knew nothing about SA Interpreters. A woman who answered the phone at a number that Jantjie provided confi rmed that she worked at the company that hired him for the memorial service but declined comment and hung up.

Government offi cials said they have tried to track down the company that provided Jantjie but the owners “have vanished into thin air,” said Bogopane-Zulu, deputy minister of Women, Children and People with Disabilities.

She apologized to deaf people around the world who were offended by Jantjie’s incomprehen-

sible signing and said an investigation is under way to determine how Jantjie was hired and what vetting process, if any, he underwent for his security clearance.

The deputy minister said the translation company offered sub-stan-dard services and the rate they purportedly paid the translator, $77 a day, is far below the usual rate of up to $164 an hour.

Ordinarily, sign language interpreters in South Africa are switched every 20 minutes to maintain their concentration levels, she said. Jantjie was on the stage for the entire service that lasted more than four hours.

The deputy minister declined to say who in South Africa’s govern-ment was responsible for contracting the company that provided the bogus translator, or how those rules were fl outed.

“It’s an interdepartmental responsibility,” she said. “We are trying to establish what happened.”

Jantjie insisted in the AP interview that he was doing proper sign-lan-guage interpretation of the speeches of world leaders.

ANGOLA — Angola’s girls swim team defeated Northrop soundly 130-39 Thursday night while the Hornet boys fared well despite being outscored 87-74 largely because the Bruins had more swimmers.

ANGOLA — I’ll keep to basics this week with the weekly lineup of honors.

First, our good friend Hannah Holstein will not be waxing poetically with her thoughts and predictions this week due to a technical error regarding games listed in the Hannah Holstein Basketball Contest advertisement on Saturday. Hannah will return with her column next Friday.

For our Steuben County Athletes of the Week, the boys high school honor will go to Prairie Heights junior forward Jacob Heller, the girls prep honor goes to Hamilton senior forward Lindsay Upp, and wrestler Brandon Preston will be Trine University’s Athlete of the Week.

Heller averaged 23.5 points, seven rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last week in leading the Panthers to home wins over Fairfi eld last Friday and Bethany Christian on Saturday. He shot 57 percent from the fi eld.

Upp averaged 19 points per game last week as the Marines went 1-1.

Preston won the 133-pound Collegiate division at the Ohio Northern Open on Saturday. The junior was the top seed in his weight class and went 4-0, capping off the title with a 5-0 victory over Justin Kihn of Heidelberg (Ohio) in the championship match.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Baseball offi cials are up front about this: They want to ban home plate collisions to guard their investments.

Minnesota’s Joe Mauer, a former MVP and three-time batting champion, is less than halfway through a $184 million, eight-year contract. He was limited to 75 games at catcher this year in a concussion-shortened season.

Buster Posey, another MVP and batting champ, has a $167 million, nine-year deal. San Francisco wants to ensure that he doesn’t have another horrifi c injury like the one that ended his 2011 season.

That’s why Major League Baseball’s rules committee voted

this week to prohibit runners from plowing into catchers. The rule will take effect next season if the players’ association agrees, and in 2015 if the union doesn’t.

“It’s a great change. We protect our assets,” Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday as the winter meetings ended. “Some of the things we’ve seen happen in the recent past — Buster Posey, concussions with Joe Mauer, Yadier Molina getting blown up, they are some of the best players in the game. They mean so much to their team — the fi nancial investments involved. And more importantly, the health of the individual.”

Boston’s David Ross, Detroit’s

Alex Avila, Oakland’s John Jaso and Kansas City’s Salvador Perez all missed time because of concussions this year.

“Collisions at home plate can signifi cantly alter your ability to win games,” said Andrew Friedman, Tampa Bay’s executive vice president of baseball operations. “I just think athletes today are bigger, faster, stronger, and the catchers are in signifi cant danger of long-term injuries that we can avoid. I think the height-ened awareness to concussions infl uences it quite a bit.”

Eleven players who were primarily catchers last season are signed to contracts running through 2016 and beyond, with a

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas coach Mack Brown declined to say Thursday whether the Alamo Bowl will be his fi nal game, amid intense specula-tion following another disappointing season that began with the Longhorns talking about becoming national championship contenders again.

“My situation has not changed,” Brown said.

Speaking to reporters for the fi rst time since multiple published reports this week indicated that he might step down, Brown said he has yet to talk with new Texas athletic director Steve Patterson and university President Bill Powers about the job he has held since 1998.

Brown defl ected several other questions about his future during a news confer-ence in San Antonio about Texas’ bowl game against Oregon on Dec. 30.

“I want to sit down with (Patterson) and Bill in the near future and talk about where we’re going and where our program is going,” Brown said.

In Austin, Powers reasserted his support for Brown and said they planned

to speak in the coming days. Powers is among Brown’s top supporters, and received a cautious endorsement later Thursday from his frustrated chancellor to temporarily quiet speculation about his own future.

Powers has been locked in a two-year power struggle over academics on one of the nation’s biggest campuses. He called Brown one of the sport’s greatest coaches but declined to address the coach’s status after regents allowed Powers to continue the job he’s held since 2006.

“I’m going to focus on this. We’ll discuss football at the appropriate time,” Powers said.

Brown acknowledged the Longhorns (8-4) didn’t fi nish how they wanted after starting the season talking about competing for a national championship. The Longhorns last played for a BCS title in 2009, but fan frustration has mounted after a string of seasons that failed to meet expectations.

Notably attending Brown’s news confer-ence was infl uential Texas booster Red McCombs, who is a close friend of Brown’s and one of the university’s

most generous donors. McCombs told reporters he hopes Brown comes back next year — but didn’t blink about the caliber of coach Texas could get to replace him.

If the Longhorns job comes open, expect more speculation about Alabama coach Nick Saban replacing him. The AP reported last month that after last season Texas regents had spoken with Saban’s agent about the possibility of replacing Brown and approached Brown about stepping down.

Saban has defl ected those reports. But McCombs expressed confi dence about Texas’ ability to lure him to one of the wealthiest athletic programs in the nation.

“I don’t think there is any question about ‘getting him,’” McCombs said. “When Mack came there, budgets were an issue; they are not an issue now. Hell, all the money that’s not at the Vatican is up at UT.”

Brown is 158-47 at Texas, including a national championship in 2005 and another BCS title game against Alabama four years later. But since 2009, the Longhorns are 30-20 and 18-17 in the Big 12.

Brown mum on future

total of $565.45 million in remaining guaranteed salary, according to calculations by The Associated Press.

MLB watched as the NFL reached a $765 million settlement last summer in a concussion-related lawsuit by former players, and a group of hockey players sued the NHL last month

over brain trauma.“How much is it that

they’re paid a lot more than they used to be?” said New York Mets GM Sandy Alderson, chairman of the rules committee. “It’s a combination of those things. But I think what’s crystal-ized our thinking is probably the concussion issue. Try to be proactive.”

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Martin St. Louis scored in the sixth round of the shootout, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Thursday night.

St. Louis netted the lone shootout goal when he beat Jonas Gustavsson to the stick side. Detroit, which has lost all six of it shootouts this season, failed this time against Ben Bishop.

Nikita Kucherov scored for the Lightning in regula-tion. Kyle Quincey had the Red Wings’ only goal of the night.

Quincey put the Red Wings up 1-0 with his fi rst goal in 51 games, a rebound backhander from along the goal line just past the post at 15:04 of the fi rst. The defenseman also snapped a 16-game point drought.

Kucherov tied it when he beat Gustavsson from the high slot with 43.7 seconds remaining in the second.

Gustavsson made a fi rst-period save on Valtteri Filppula’s in-close backhander.

St. Louis sent a shot wide of the net during a short-handed breakaway early in the second. Bishop stopped a shot by Daniel Alfredsson on a 2-on-1 later in the period.

An up-tempo third period featured nice saves by both goalies.

Both teams had key players sidelined by injuries.

Klinsmann to remain as US coach through 2018

(AP) — Jurgen Klinsmann is staying with the U.S. soccer team for the 2018 World Cup.

Six months before leading the Americans at the 2014 tournament in Brazil, Klinsmann agreed to a four-year contract extension through 2018.

Hired as coach in July 2011, Klinsmann is gaining the additional title of technical director of the U.S. Soccer Federation.

His new deal was announced Thursday.

Memphis punter beats Purdue’s Webster for Ray Guy award

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Memphis senior Tom Hornsey has been chosen the winner of the Ray Guy Award winner as the nation’s best punter.

Hornsey was presented with the award Thursday during the 23rd College Football Awards Show at Disney.

He averaged 45.2 yards on 62 punts this season, setting a career best with a 79-yarder in the season opener against Duke. He also had only 12 touchbacks.

Hornsey was selected over fellow fi nalists Drew Kaser from Texas A&M and Cody Webster from Purdue.

Tiger Woods’ half-brother arrested for making threat

PHOENIX (AP) — The half-brother of golf star Tiger Woods has been arrested in Phoenix for allegedly making a false bomb threat at the government building where he works.

Phoenix police say 58-year-old Earl Dennison Woods Jr. is accused of calling in the threat at the Department of Economic Security building about 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

Police say they were called after DES employees alerted building security.

More than 100 people were evacuated from the building before Woods came forward and told police the phone call was meant as a joke and he didn’t expect his co-workers to take it seriously.

Police say Woods has been booked on suspicion of attempting to terrify, intimi-date, threaten or harass others.

They say Woods is apologetic and cooperating with the investigation. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.

Winston wins O’Brien awardLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) —

Florida State star Jameis Winston has won the Davey O’Brien Award, given to the nation’s top quarterback.

The redshirt freshman was presented with the award Thursday during the 23rd College Football Awards Show at Disney.

Winston, the Heisman Trophy favorite, hopes to join the past three Davey O’Brien winners, who all went on to take home the Heisman in the same year.

He led top-ranked Florida State to a 13-0 record and a berth in the BCS national championship game against Auburn. Along the way, Winston completed 67.9 percent of his passes for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.

He becomes the third Seminoles player to win the award.

Winston was selected over fellow fi nalists AJ McCarron of Alabama and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.

Napoli, Red Sox sign 2-year, $32 million deal

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox fi nalized their two-year deal with fi rst baseman Mike Napoli on Thursday, bringing back one of the biggest hitters from the World Series team..

Napoli will earn $32 million through 2015. The terms were agreed to last week, when Napoli tweeted, “The beard is coming back to Boston!!! Couldn’t be happier!!”

Napoli’s bushy beard made him one of the most visible stars of the Red Sox, but it was his bat that helped them win the World Series. He drove in seven runs in the postseason as the Red Sox beat Tampa Bay, Detroit and St. Louis.

Napoli hit .259 with 23 home runs and 92 RBIs this year in his fi rst season with the Red Sox.

To make room for Napoli on the 40-man roster, outfi elder Alex Castellanos was designated for assignment.

Cook named ND’s defensive coordinator for bowl game

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says Kerry Cooks will serve as defensive coordinator for the Fighting Irish through the Pinstripe Bowl after Bob Diaco was named head coach at UConn.

Cooks served as co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach the past two seasons. He has been on the staff at Notre Dame since Kelly arrived in 2010, starting as outside linebackers coach. He played with Diaco at Iowa and played in the NFL for Minnesota, Green Bay, Atlanta and Jacksonville.

Kelly previously announced that receivers coach Mike Denbrock would serve as offensive coordinator through the bowl game after Chuck Martin was named head coach at Miami of Ohio. Denbrock was passing game coordinator the past two seasons. He spent time as offensive and defensive coordinator under Kelly at Grand Valley State.

BY TERRI GORNEY“Plant a Bass” was a campaign begun

by the Izaak Walton League soon after it was established. The league formed in 1922 in Chicago and was named for Izaak Walton (1593-1683) who was an

English writer and the father of fly fishing. Gene Stratton-Porter was a member of the league and heartily supported this campaign. Most people know that

Gene was known as

a bird woman. Few know that she and her husband, Charles Porter, were avid anglers.

Charles and Gene spent many a happy hour fishing on the Wabash River close to their home in Geneva. In her book, “At the Foot of the Rainbow,” she wrote about fishing for black bass on the Wabash River at Rainbow Bottom. Charles and Gene also took fishing trips together. Gene wrote an article for the league’s magazine “Outdoor America” titled “My Great Day” and it was about a fishing trip that they took on the Indian River in northern Michigan. This is one of the best fishing stories written about “the one that almost got away.”

When she built “Wildflower Woods” on Sylvan Lake in Rome City, she put in windows with “the million dollar view” and put her desk facing away from the window, so that she could concentrate while she wrote. Perhaps she would much rather have been be out on the lake fishing than writing.

Why the “Plant a Bass” campaign? It was feared that black bass could become extinct. In 1921, the scientists with the American Fisheries Society tried to rally support for saving the fish and wrote to every prominent state official in the country.

The league enlisted a few thousand fishermen to help stock waters with black bass. The United States Fisheries furnished the fish and delivered them to the fishermen’s nearest railroad station free of cost. The U.S. Fisheries was under the Department of Commerce, headed by Herbert Hoover in 1922. Hoover was also a member of the Izaak Walton League. The league wrote in an editorial “… let Secretary of Commerce Hoover know that the American angler is a planter as well as a catcher of fish.”

Gene added her name to a growing number of celebrities to encourage others to join the conservation movement. She wrote, “I wish to add my name to those of other anglers and outdoor lovers as a hearty endorser of the ‘Plant a Bass’ campaign. If your plan were carefully carried out by every one to whom it was possible, it would do a greater degree of good than there would be any way of reckoning. I certainly shall put it into practice on the lake in northern Indiana on the banks of which I live, and I shall do everything in my power to have other fishermen residing there, to do the same.”

If you are one of those who like to fish for bass on Sylvan Lake, you can thank Gene Stratton-Porter for helping “plant” them there.

Let’s not tear down Steuben poorhouse

To the editor:Our nation’s capital is loaded with historic

buildings and historic places. We travel to Vincennes, Corydon and Indianapolis to see and hear of our forefathers and their struggles, strife and victories.

Our old buildings are precious to us. We attempt to revive and display our canals, like Erie and Wabash. We base much of our future on the pride we have for our past.

Steuben County has a beautiful courthouse and historic jail which we have attempted to keep up the best that we can. We are doing our best to restore and beautify Angola’s uptown buildings. We would not think of tearing down our courthouse or jailhouse. We fought to keep our old high school building, which has turned out to be a blessing for all.

Herbert Hoover said: “The supreme purpose of history is a better world.”

The history of Steuben County states: The county asylum was built and occupied in 1885 — two years before our historic jail. We called it the poorhouse when I was a child, then later the county farm. Originally, the county asylum contained 315 acres and was self sustaining. No one would have to be ashamed to live there.

Someone else said: “He who learns nothing from the past will be punished by the future.”

Please, let’s not tear down our historic poorhouse. Let us wisely fi nd a way to restore it and use it for coming generations. It is Steuben history.

Voters need to have a say on HJR 6

To the editor:Angola Mayor Dick Hickman was in the

newspaper last week, aligning himself with the so-called “Freedom Indiana” group, a well-funded activist organization which is insistently pushing for same-sex “marriage” in Indiana. Mayor Hickman is quoted as saying, “Equality means equality for all. Equal rights means equal rights for all. To take these rights away from one group of people means we can take them away or deny them to anyone we don’t understand or agree with.” I’d like to address Hickman’s position.

What is marriage? Homosexual activists tell us it is simply a relationship between two people who “love” each other. How trivial. And how ridiculously wrong. Marriage is the solemn covenant that is the foundation of any

successful civilization. Marriage binds men to women and both to children. It is the only natural, self-sustaining system for nurturing and protecting the next generation. Try to justify same-sex “marriage” any way you want, but there is no way to avoid the fact that children do best with a mother AND a father and to intentionally deprive them of either is unconscionable and irresponsible.

During an interview several years ago, Rosie O’Donnell said that her son asked her why he didn’t have a daddy. Rosie told him, “Because I’m not that kind of mommy.” Unfortunately, regardless of what kind of mommy Rosie is, her son is the kind of kid that needs a daddy. Civilizations that put the wants of adults ahead of the needs of children do so at their peril.

Hickman says we’re taking rights away from people by not allowing them to marry. Are we? Whenever you set standards for something, then there will be people who do not meet those standards. When we deny driver’s licenses to people who don’t meet the standards, have we taken away their rights? No. Those who don’t meet the standards are demonstrably dangerous drivers.

There are standards for obtaining a marriage license, as well. You must be a couple, both of whom are above a certain age, not closely related, and of the opposite sex. All of these standards are for very good reasons. In study after study, research shows that natural marriage provides an abundance of benefi ts to society. To name a few, it decreases poverty rates and the incidence of domestic abuse, child abuse and neglect. It decreases the incidence of substance abuse and lowers crime rates. It increases general health and life span for adults. No other program, institution or system functions quite like the natural family to nurture adults and raise children. And that’s precisely why this relationship, above all others, has been blessed by the church, protected by the state and honored by almost every culture for all of recorded human history.

“Freedom Indiana” wants to promote cohabiting and homosexual couples. How do they compare to natural marriage? Very poorly. The research indicates increased incidence of physical, sexual and domestic abuse and escalated levels of emotional disorders and substance abuse. Why does Hickman want to promote that?

So does HJR 6 “take rights away” from people as Hickman says? Absolutely not. The Marriage Protection Amendment, if passed, would simply guard the state of Indiana (and its citizens) from the burden of being forced to endorse and subsidize immoral and unhealthy relationship options. Any consenting adult can

enter into any relationship they choose … but they should not be allowed to compel anyone else to approve, celebrate and fi nancially support their demonstrably risky choices.

Hickman and “Freedom Indiana” are trying to silence Hoosier voters by keeping the Marriage Protection Amendment off the ballot. Thirty-six states have had a chance to vote on this issue. Hickman got his chance to speak. Don’t you think the voters in Indiana deserve that chance as well?

To the editor:I hope everyone has seen the Tips From

Former Smokers tobacco prevention commer-cials now playing on television, radio, in newspapers and on billboards. These ads show real people telling real stories, giving voice to over 8 million Americans who are suffering from smoking-related chronic diseases. They are hard-hitting and emotionally compelling. But they are exactly the kinds of commercials that are proven to encourage smokers to try to quit.

Last year, 1.6 million smokers attempted to quit smoking because of the Tips from Former Smokers media campaign, and 200,000 Americans had quit smoking immediately following the three month campaign. Almost 80 percent of smokers and almost 75 percent of nonsmokers recalled seeing at least one of the ads and millions talked with loved ones about quitting.

Here in Indiana, calls to the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, doubled when the ads were on air. The more we can get Hoosiers to try to quit, the more likely we can help them quit for good.

The ads tell the stories of real people struggling with the kinds of smoking-related diseases that are far too common — including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, more severe adult asthma and complications from diabetes. They show how these illnesses have changed the way these people have to live their lives.

Similar stories from Indiana can be seen at quitnowindiana.com. Most smokers say they want to quit. Real stories show how smoking can change the lives and health of Hoosiers. You can still see the ads on cdc.gov/tips. I hope they help inspire you to try to quit. And I hope you’ll call 1-800-QUIT-NOW, or visit equitnow.com to access free quit support.

When Bethany, age 20, was about 3, she went shopping with her dad for a Christmas gift for Tamara. A few days later she came to Tamara and said in a very conspirato-rial whisper, “Should we wrap your food processor now?” — Tamara of Pennsylvania

KPC Media Group’s LaGrange County bureau chief, Patrick Redmond, shared a favorite Parkside Elementary email from assistant principal Bryan Iddings.

Hello, All: Someone lost a tooth during lunch today. Two second-grade girls found it and gave it to me. If you have a student that wants their tooth, please have them come see me. Bryan

“No word on how or if this mystery was resolved,” Patrick said.

Connie of Austria, wrote: “My husband’s cousin Annemarie told us this lovely story. She was minding two of her grandsons last week and the eldest, Matthias, 6, asked her, “What is a saint and how do people get to be a saint?” She explained how one had to be good and kind and so on, but also that you could only become a saint after death and people prayed for miracles. Little Jan, 4, piped up: “I know a saint that is not

dead!” Annemarie said in surprise, “You do? Who would that be, somebody you know?” Jan: “Saint Nikolaus, of course! He’ll be coming to my kindergarten next week!”

Our oldest daughter, Dorothy, shared this story about our granddaughter, Jane.

Jane: “Mommy, I know how to make a smoothie!”

Dorothy: “Oh, how?”Jane: “First you put milk in

a bowl and then you ‘tir’ it up (making a circle mother with her index fi nger) and then … you … put it in the oven!”

Dorothy: “In the oven? Is THAT how you do it?!”

Jane (smiling slyly): “Yes.”Jane’s sense of humor is the

same as her mother’s was 30 years ago!

Zelma was babysitting Dakota, 3, and a 2-year-old. The 2-year-old was standing beside Dakota. “Your breath stinks. Get away from me,” Dakota said. Zelma asked Dakota what her breath smelled like. Dakota replied, “I don’t know, Zelma, but my nose does!” — Zelma Feltner of Kendallville

DEAR DOCTOR K: My doctor saw something suspicious on my mammogram and wants to do a breast biopsy. I understand there are several biopsy techniques. Can you tell me what they involve?

DEAR READER: Th e invention of mammograms (X-rays of the breast) has saved many lives. Mammograms can spot a small, early breast cancer, and help doctors cure it.

What your doctor saw was a spot that looked like it might be cancer. Th e mammogram, and other breast-imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cannot tell with certainty. If the mammogram looks suspicious, a biopsy is the only way to know for sure if there is a cancer.

In a biopsy, a part of the suspicious-looking area is removed by a minor surgical procedure. Th is tissue is analyzed in a lab to determine

whether it is cancerous and, if so, how quickly it is likely to grow and spread. Th is information helps to guide treatment decisions. A breast biopsy can be done in

diff erent ways, depending on the location and size of the abnormality.

• A doctor can perform fi ne needle aspiration (FNA) in an offi ce by inserting a slender needle into the breast and drawing out (aspirating) a small amount of tissue from a suspicious

lump. In some cases, the doctor

may use ultrasound images to guide the needle. Ultrasound shows when the tip of the

needle has reached the suspicious area. Ultrasound has no damaging eff ects on the breast: Unlike a mammogram, ultrasound does not involve any radiation.

• Most doctors prefer the large core needle biopsy method because it removes more tissue, and that makes for a more accurate diagnosis. A larger needle than the one used for FNA is used. Th e needle is inserted into the breast through a tiny incision. Using X-rays or ultrasound images as a guide, or by feeling the lump, the doctor moves the needle into the area of concern. He or she extracts one or more tissue samples through the needle using suction from a syringe.

Stereotactic needle biopsy is a type of large core needle biopsy. It uses special imaging equipment to pinpoint the tissue to be removed.

• In a surgical biopsy, the surgeon makes an incision and removes all or part of the abnormal tissue for

examination. It is done in an operating room under local or general anesthesia. A biopsy that removes only part of the suspicious tissue is called an incisional biopsy. One that removes the entire lump is called an excisional biopsy.

Sometimes a surgical biopsy is preceded by wire localization. During a mammogram, a radiologist inserts a small wire through a needle into your breast, with the end of the wire inside the suspicious area. Th is helps the surgeon more easily identify the suspicious area. Most biopsies reveal that the suspicious area of the breast is not cancer. Until the biopsy is done, a woman and her family and friends are understand-ably concerned.

Most of the time, the news turns out to be good.

DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

Type of breast biopsy varies with patients

On this date Dec. 13: • In 1944, during World War II, the U.S. cruiser Nashville was badly damaged in a Japanese kamikaze attack that claimed more than 130 lives. • In 1978, the Philadel-phia Mint began stamping the Susan B. Anthony dollar, which went into circulation in July 1979. • In 2003, Saddam Hussein was captured by U.S. forces while hiding in Adwar, Iraq.

Almanac•

DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter, “Erica,” is planning to marry her 24-year-old boyfriend. I use the term “boyfriend” loosely because their relationship consists entirely of texting, talking on the phone and the Internet. Th ere has been no dating or getting to know each other in person. Erica is intent on marrying this man even though he has lied to her several times in addition to having lied to us. She is planning to attend a four-year college. I’m not sure how to handle this. She hid the relationship from us for more than six months. I realize Erica needs to make her own mistakes, but I’m not sure how to make her understand my very real concern about this. I have raised other children who went through various phases of teenage

rebellion, but we were able to reach a general compromise on all types of behavior. However, she is

unwilling to discuss the possibility of waiting. Any advice would be appreciated. — NEEDS HELP IN VIRGINIA DEAR NEEDS HELP: If Erica were my daughter, I’d suggest that because

this relationship is so serious it’s time you both paid a visit to her intended. Assuming her father is in the picture, he should be there, too. Th e subject of who will be paying for college

should be discussed, and whether Erica will be able to continue her education if she should become pregnant. It may give her a glimpse of exactly what she’s letting herself in for BEFORE the wedding. Of course the three of you will want to meet as many of his family and friends as possible. Because Erica won’t listen to reason, perhaps SEEING will bring her back down to earth. Th is will also give you (all) a chance to fi nd out what else her “boyfriend” may have been lying about, including his age. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
