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.

Dose ofwintercoming

ALBION — The Noble County Public Library Board of Trustees heard Thursday a report on ways to fi nance a possible renovation project.

The library board is considering a project to renovate the central library in Albion to bring it more in line with modern library uses, such as fl exible space that is more usable for the community, said

library director Sandy Petrie.The project also would include

needed work on the library roof and replacing carpet, Petrie said.

Todd Samuelson of certifi ed public accountants H.J. Umbaugh & Associates presented information on how bonds for such a project could be structured in ways to keep property taxes from being raised.

An existing bond issue will come off the tax rolls in 2016, Samuelson said. The library could structure new bonds for new work so taxes would remain even with the current level when that happens.

Petrie said the library board

is a year and a half away from determining what the proposed project would be and how much it would cost.

The presentation based the costs on bonds for $1.5 million and $1.9 million.

The year 2014 will be when the board will determine what it proposes to do and what fi ts the situation and budget, Petrie said.

“We just have to see where we fi t in,” said trustee James Shrock.

The board tabled a proposal to hire Umbaugh and bond attorney fi rm Ice Miller to work on the project. Shrock and board

president Sandy Lamp said it was too soon to hire someone.

Any proposal to issue bonds would have to be approved by the Noble County Council, Samuelson said.

Also Thursday, the board:• approved a compensation

plan for employees for 2014 that includes a 2-percent raise.

• re-elected the same board offi cers as last year.

Lamp will continue as president, Bev Huntsman as vice president, Reta Sherwin as secretary and Margaret Ott as treasurer.

Library board hears fi nancing optionCosts of renovation atAlbion site discussed

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 irta-tion 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 tame by compar-ison 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 government 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 leadership has been willing to go.

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., a chief GOP architect of the deal, made the conservatives’ 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

7 fi re departments battle barn fi re

ANGOLA — Seven fi re departments 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 informa-tion 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.

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 expectations, 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.

Gold Krugerrand coin found in Salvation Army kettle

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.

Oil drilling set to start near ISU

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 findings from the first well. Drilling a well takes about 30 days, Miller said.

Student charged with resisting law enforcement

KENDALLVILLE — An East Noble High School student has been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement after she resisted several attempts by school adminis-trators and the school resource offi cer to get her to leave the school hallway and then a classroom.

A 16-year-old girl from Avilla refused to leave the hallway and failed to follow commands from Dixon, according to a Kendallville Police Department news release.

Regional Roundup•

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 deploy-ment 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.

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 inconsistencies. 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.”

Conservation offi cers warn about thin ice on waterways

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.

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 nominations 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 encouragingly 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 innova-tive, 3-D space odyssey “Gravity,” which received four nominations 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.

The ’60s Greenwich Village folk tale “Inside Llewyn Davis” (three nods) and the soulful, futuristic romance “Her” (three nominations) have each won best fi lm from other groups. Support is also strong for Alexander Payne’s father-son road trip “Nebraska” (fi ve nomina-tions), the Somali pirate thriller “Captain Phillips” (four nods), and Martin Scorsese’s wild high-fi nance party “The Wolf of Wall Street” (two noms). All fi ve were nominated for best picture.

A movie that could have been a theatrical release, Steven Soderbergh’s Liberace drama “Behind the Candelabra,” topped the Globes’ television nomina-tions. The HBO fi lm helped the cable channel yield a leading nine nominations among TV networks.

The digital platform Netfl ix, though, emerged as a new challenger with six total nods. The subscription service’s fi rst major foray into original programming, the political thriller “House of Cards,” tied “Candelabra” with four nominations. “House of Cards,” produced by David Fincher and starring Kevin Spacey, is also a product of fi lmmakers who turned to the small screen.

But in a year where TV’s rise was much trumpeted, the movies put forth a dynamic argument for the big screen. Ron Howard, whose Formula One thriller “Rush” was a surprise nominee as best dramatic fi lm and best supporting actor for Daniel Bruhl, said it’s a “remark-able movie season.”

“It’s a great time for the medium in the face of a lot economic doubt and a lot of competition from other mediums,” said Howard.

This year’s comedy competition — usually a mixed bag compared to the dramatic categories — could be the strongest fi eld ever for the Globes (even if many don’t neatly slide under the label of “comedy” or “musical”). Aside from “American Hustle,” the group includes “The Wolf of Wall Street,” ”Nebraska,” ”Her” and “Inside Llewyn

Davis.”Two 77-year-old veterans

landed best actor nomina-tions: Robert Redford in the drama “All Is Lost,” and Bruce Dern in the comedy “Nebraska.” Redford, who hasn’t ever won an acting Oscar, gives a nearly unspoken performance as a man shipwrecked in the Indian Ocean in “All Is Lost.”

“The only other time that the Golden Globes came into my life was in 1964,” said Redford. “I think the organi-zation was only about a year old, but I was voted Star of Tomorrow in 1964. So it’s been awhile.”

Redford was passed over Wednesday by the Screen Actors Guild, a snub he said he wasn’t even aware of.

In “Nebraska,” Dern plays a taciturn Montana man who believes he’s won a mailing sweepstakes. He’s been unusually forthright about his honest enjoyment in being back in the spotlight with “Nebraska,” which was also nominated for Payne’s screenplay and June Squibb’s supporting perfor-mance.

“He’s eating it up. He’s having a ball,” Payne said of Dern. “It’s a new start for him at this point in his career and he’s chomping at the bit to act. He’s got a lot to give, that guy.”

Though the Globes are known for their idiosyncratic choices (last year “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” received three curious nominations), their 2013 picks contained few oddities.

Most notably shutout was “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” the civil rights history told through a long-serving White House butler played by Forest Whitaker. Oprah Winfrey has been considered a favorite among supporting actresses. Also denied were hopefuls “Fruitvale Station” and “Prisoners.”

Among the nominees were some familiar faces (Judi Dench, “Philomena”; Tom Hanks “Captain Phillips”; Kate Winslet, “Labor Day,” Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, “August: Osage County,” Joaquin Phoenix, “Her”; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Enough Said”) and some more fresh faces (Barkhad Abdi, “Captain Phillips”; Greta Gerwig, “Frances Ha” and Oscar Isaac, “Inside Llewyn Davis”).

“Joel and Ethan have completely changed my life,” the 33-year-old Isaac, who plays guitar and sings in the fi lm, said of the Coens. “There’s a reason why that happens to so many actors who are involved in their movies.”

Gerwig, who plays a young, meandering New York dancer in “Frances Ha,” said: “When the phone rang this morning, I silenced it and I thought, UGH, who do I owe money to?”

The last fi lm of 2013 to screen, Scorsese’s three-hour fi nancial industry extrava-ganza had been one of the biggest question marks this awards season. After being snubbed Wednesday by the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, it earned a nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance as an out-of-control Wall Street trader, along with the best picture nomination.

NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

To the reception, Barker

said, “You folks appreciate the fact that it has taken me a long time to become 90.”

This Nov. 5 photo shows Bob Barker posing on the set of “The Price is Right” with a cake celebrating his 90th birthday at CBS Studios in Los Angeles. 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.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (AP) — Blake Shelton likes his odds when it comes to this year’s Grammy Awards.

Shelton’s “Mine Would Be You” and Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” are both nominated for best country solo performance, doubling his chances of nabbing a golden gramophone in his home.

“I hope one of us wins that thing because I want one in my house for sure,” Shelton said in an interview. “The thing about an actual

Grammy is if you set it up high enough on the shelf people can’t read that plaque, and if somebody comes in the house and they’re like, ‘You got a Grammy.’ It’s like, ‘Yeah. Oh yeah I got one.’ And they don’t actually read that it’s to Miranda.”

Shelton has yet to win a Grammy; Lambert, his wife, won her fi rst in 2011. Both of their tracks are also nominated for best country song, though the singers didn’t earn nominations because they didn’t write the

tunes.Shelton made the

comments Tuesday while promoting “The Voice,” where his three-time winning streak came to an end when his fi nal teammate, Cole Vosbury, was eliminated.

The country star is looking ahead to the Grammys, where’s he’s up for best country album for his eighth album, “Based on a True Story…” He will battle Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw and newcomer Kacey Musgraves in the latter category.

No Grammy competition with Shelton, Lambert

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’

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.

Thursday’s Statistics

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.

The measure would erase $63 billion in across-the-board cuts set for January and early 2015 on domestic

and defense programs, leaving about $140 billion in reductions in place. On the other side of the budget ledger, it projects savings totaling $85 billion over the coming decade, enough to show a defi cit reduction of about $23 billion over the 10-year period.

The cuts would be replaced with savings generated from dozens of sources. Among them are higher airline security fees, curbs on the pension benefi ts of new federal workers and additional costs for corpora-tions whose pensions are guaranteed by the federal government. The measure also would slow the annual cost-of-living increase in benefi ts for military retirees under the age of 62.

The bill includes a 90-day provision that postpones a 20 percent cut in reimburse-ments for doctors who treat Medicare patients and replaces it with an increase of one-half of one percent

The combination of short-term spending increases and long-term savings would send defi cits higher for the current budget year and each of the next two, a dramatic departure from the conservative

orthodoxy that Republicans have enforced since taking control of the House three years ago.

That was a step too far for many Republicans, including some seeking election to the Senate next year.

Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia, one of several Senate hopefuls from his state, said he would vote against the legislation. He said the existing across-the-board cuts “have a tendency to cut out muscle with fat, but it’s still the only tool in town for cutting spending.”

Rep. Tom Cotton, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, announced his opposition, too, and said the legislation “busts the spending caps that took effect just months ago by spending billions now in exchange for supposed long-term spending cuts.”

Other Republicans said despite shortcomings, the bill was the best the party could get in divided govern-ment.

“We have Republican and Democratic-controlled houses and as a result no one solution is possible,” said Rep. Darrell Issa of California.

BUDGET: Bill will cut defi cit $23 million in 10 yearsFROM PAGE A1

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 govern-ment 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. But he also apologized for his performance that has been dismissed by many sign-language experts as gibberish.

“I would like to tell everybody that if I’ve offended anyone, please, forgive me,” Jantjie said in his tidy cement house outfi tted with a big-screen TV and with two late-model cars in the carport on the outskirts of Soweto. “But what I was doing, I was doing what I believe is my calling. I was doing what I believe makes a difference.”

“What happened that day, I see angels come to the stadium … I start realizing that the problem is here. And the problem, I don’t know the attack of this problem, how will it comes. Sometimes I react violent on that place. Sometimes I will see things that chase me,” Jantjie said.

Interpreter says he hallucinated

AP

Thamsanqa Jantjie gesticulates at his home during an interview in Johannes-burg, 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.

NEW YORK (AP) — Many Americans are watching the annual holiday spending ritual from the sidelines this year.

Money is still tight for some. Others are fed up with commercialism of the holidays. Still others are waiting for bigger bargains.

And people like Lark-Marie Anton Menchini are more thoughtful about their purchases. The New York public relations executive says in the past she’d buy her children up to eight Christmas gifts each, but this year they’re getting three apiece. The leftover money is going toward their college savings.

“We told them Santa is … being very conscious of how many gifts he puts on his sleigh,” Menchini, 36, says.

Despite an improving economy, most workers are not seeing meaningful wage increases. And those who can splurge say the brash commercialism around the holidays — many more stores are opening for business on Thanksgiving — is a turnoff.

But perhaps the biggest factor is that shoppers are less motivated than ever by holiday sales. Since the Great Recession, retailers have been dangling more discounts throughout the year, so Americans have learned to hold out for even deeper holiday savings on clothes, electronics and more. To stay competitive and boost sales, retailers are slashing prices further during their busiest season of the year, which is cutting into their own profi t margins.

There aren’t reliable fi gures on how many people plan to shop during the holidays. But early data points to a shift in holiday spending.

The National Retail Federation estimates that sales during the start to the offi cial start to season — the four-day weekend that began on Thanksgiving Day — dropped 2.9 percent from last year to $57.4 billion. That would mark the fi rst decline in the seven years the trade group has tracked spending.

And during the week afterward — which ended on Sunday — sales fell another 2.9 percent compared with a year ago, according to data tracker ShopperTrak, which did not give dollar amounts. Meanwhile, the number of shoppers in stores plunged nearly 22 percent.

The numbers are sobering

for retailers, which depend on making up to 40 percent of their revenue in the last two months of the year. They suggest shifts in the attitudes of U.S. shoppers that could force stores to reshape their strategies.

Stores slashed prices during the recession to get fi nancially-strapped shoppers in stores and to better compete with the cheaper prices of online retailers like Amazon. But shoppers got used to those deals and now won’t buy without them. The constant discounting has blunted the “wow” factor of sales during the holidays.

For instance, some retailers were offering discounts of 40 percent or more on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday. But Jennifer Ambrosh, 40 was unimpressed with the “deals” she saw on that day. “There’s a lot of hype, but … the deals aren’t that good,” Ambrosh, an accoun-tant, says.

Overall, the retail federa-tion expects spending in November and December to rise 3.9 percent to $602.1 billion. But to get that growth, analysts say retailers will need to discount heavily, which eats away profi ts.

There are signs that profi ts for the quarter that includes the holiday season are being hurt by the discounting. Walmart and American Eagle Outfi tters are among 47 retailers that have slashed their outlooks for either the quarter or the year.

Overall, retailers’ earnings growth is expected to be up 2.1 percent, according to research fi rm Retail Metrics. That would be the worst performance since profi t fell 6.7 percent in the second quarter of 2009 when the country was in a recession.

The recession not only taught Americans to expect bargains. It also showed them that they could make do with less. And in the economic recovery, many have maintained that frugality.

So whereas in a better economy, Americans would make both big and small purchases, in this economy they’re being more thoughtful and making choices about what to buy.

That hasn’t boded well for retailers that sell clothing, shoes and holiday items. That’s because Americans are buying more big-ticket items over the holidays.

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 market-places 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 market-places as of Nov. 30 and an additional 803,077 had been determined eligible for Medicaid.

But the rate of residents gaining health coverage was more than three times as great in the states embracing the federal health care law than in those whose leaders have resisted it.

In the dozen states embracing the overhaul, more than 50 percent of those who applied for coverage picked an insurance plan or were eligible for Medicaid. That rate was barely 15 percent in the two dozen states that aren’t cooperating in the implementation of the federal health care law.

Health sign-ups differ among states

EMMA — Westview stuck with NorthWood for the fi rst two quarters of Thursday’s nonconfer-ence boys basketball game.

NorthWood struck with a 12-2 third quarter run to pull away to record a 64-52 victory and remain unbeaten for the season.

“Give credit to Westview, in the fi rst 12 minutes they defended well and took us out of our rhythm,” said NorthWood coach Aaron Wolf. “We felt, with how we played in the fi rst half we were fortunate to be ahead at the half.”

Jordyn Bontrager led Westview with 25 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals.

The Warriors also got 10 points and seven rebounds from Chandler Aspy, nine points from Jamar Weaver, four from Judah Zickafoose and two points each from Brody Jantzi and Andrew Yoder.

The Warriors are 2-2 on the season, with victories over Bethany Christian (65-35) and Churubusco (62-48). The team’s other loss came to Class 4A Northridge (54-50).

Westview hasn’t lost twice in the month of December since the 2009 season.

“We’re improving, they are obviously a very good team and we learned some things from the game,” said Westview coach Rob Yoder. “We’re getting healthier all the time.”

After leading much of the opening quarter and nearly all of the second period, the Warriors took a 23-22 defi cit into the second half. After getting an early

bucket from Aspy, the Warriors would go the next three minutes with only one basket. Meanwhile, NorthWood’s Will Stueve hit twice to begin a 12-2 spurt for the Panthers.

“We made some shots and they missed some shots during the stretch,” Wolf said.

Zach Zucher followed with another NorthWood basket and the third-quarter run would conclude

with 3-pointers from Braxton Linville and Jonathan Wilkinson.

The turn of events put NorthWood up 37-26, and the Panthers would lead 47-35 after three periods.

A triple by NorthWood’s Kyle McCoy took the margin to 15 points as the fourth period began, and the Panthers kept their margin in double digits the rest of the way.

Warriors fall to 2-2 on season

KENDALL-VILLE — Connor Holcomb led the attack. Brandon Mable ran right through defenders. Walker Boyles and Keaton Osborn created a wall that left opposing offenses in dismay.

The four from East Noble are among those recently named to Indiana Football Coaches Associa-tion (IFCA) all-state teams.

Lakeland’s Evan Garretson was also honored.

Holcomb, Mable and Boyles earned spots on the IFCA Class 4A senior team, while Osborn made the junior team. Holcomb took honors as an offensive lineman, while Mable took the award as a running back. Boyles and Osborn are linebackers.

The Knights were 9-3 on the season, which included a fi ve-game winning streak. East Noble collected sectional wins over NorthWood and Leo before falling in the sectional fi nals to Bishop Dwenger.

Garretson, an offensive lineman, was part of a Lakeland team that opened the season by winning its fi rst six games and fi nished at 7-3.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Da’Rick Rogers might have solved one of the Colts’ most pressing problems.

Ever since receiver Reggie Wayne went down for the season with a torn ACL, the Colts have been searching for someone to take the pressure off rising star T.Y. Hilton and give quarterback Andrew Luck a legitimate second option at the position.

Indy turned to Rogers, a troubled player who was booted from the team at the University of Tennessee, went undrafted in April and was cut by Buffalo before the season began. In his second NFL game this past Sunday against Cincinnati, Rogers caught six passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns.

Colts receivers coach Charlie

Williams has spent extra time with Rogers, implementing a regimented schedule to help keep his promising rookie focused and out of trouble.

Rogers takes nothing for granted, given his path.

“It’s a blessing to be here,” he said. “Once you get here, it’s an

honor. It’s defi nitely an opportu-nity, not a job or a career. You’ve got to come fi ght for your job every day.”

Rogers knows how important he could be for the Colts. Opponents are double-teaming Hilton and forcing other players to produce. Tight end Coby Fleener has been solid, but none of the wide receivers had made the necessary jump to give the Colts offense the boost it needed.

“With Reggie Wayne going down, we need other guys to step up and make plays,” Rogers said. “It is good that going in the playoffs, we have a few games before that, to get trust with Andrew (Luck) and everybody to get together with what we have going for us.”

Rangers can’t fi nd a way

Local Sports Briefs•

Rogers played none of the Colts’ fi rst 11 games. He spent eight on the practice squad and was inactive in the other three. He played against Tennessee on Dec. 1, but did not make a catch.

Finally, against the Bengals, Rogers got his chance. He caught a 69-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter and a 2-yard scoring pass in the fourth.

The long touchdown especially impressed Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton.

“He caught a four- or fi ve-yard pass, and it resulted in a long touchdown, and we need more of that in our offense,” Hamilton said. “We’re excited about

Da’Rick and what he can offer us moving forward.”

Luck said he could see Rogers’ confi dence increase as the game progressed.

“I think he showed himself that he can make plays in this league,” Luck said. “I think he showed everybody else what we already knew.”

Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Rogers has earned a spike in playing time. That likely will mean less action for the struggling Darrius Heyward-Bey, a high-profi le offseason pickup who has disappointed.

The Colts are being careful to put Rogers in position to keep progressing. Rogers said handling success won’t be an issue with the

framework of coaches and leaders around him.

“That’s actually one of the things we just got done talking about, me and Chuck Pagano,” he said. “It’s just one of the things in the past that bothered me and these are some of the things that I’ve grown here. I’ve learned how to handle those things. I’m excited. I think I’ll do all right.”

Rogers’ approach has caught Luck’s attention.

“I think he’s really learned that practice pays dividends,” Luck said. “He comes to practice with great energy, great enthusiasm, whether he’s running scout team stuff or in there with the guys getting the reps. He’s always done a great job.”

“I think they shot 70 percent in the second half,” Yoder said. “Give them credit for making the shots.”

Early on, Westview looked strong. The Warriors led 12-9 after one quarter. Weaver had two Westview 3-pointers within a one-minute span late in the opening stanza to give Westview its first lead. A score by Zickafoose and two free throws from Bontrager two and a half minutes into the second period put the Warriors up 18-12 —

the largest margin either team would hold in the opening half.

NorthWood caught up and tied the contest at 22-all in the final minute of the half on a Zucher bucket and closed the second period with a free throw from Dakyrion Fox to lead 23-22.

Four players scored in double figures for NorthWood, led by 15 points from Zucher.

NorthWood, a Class 3A team, has wins against Class 1A Triton (59-40), Class 2A LaVille (62-43) and Class 2A Westview.

Westview will close the month of December with three Northeast Corner Conference games. They’ll be on the road on Saturday at Central Noble and play Friday, Dec. 20 at Angola. They’ll play at home against Lakeland in a boys/girls doubleheader on Dec. 28.

Chargers play keep-away in 27-20 win over Broncos

DENVER (AP) — Mike McCoy’s gamble paid off big-time.

San Diego’s coach outfoxed his mentor John Fox and handed his former pupil Peyton Manning his fi rst divisional loss since coming to Denver as the Chargers stunned the Broncos 27-20 on Thursday night.

McCoy bucked conventional wisdom and give Manning the ball fi rst, deferring after winning the coin toss.

It seemed like a huge mistake when Manning, who entered the game with 45 TD throws as leader of a high-octane offense that was scoring nearly 40 points a game, needed just seven plays to put the Broncos ahead 7-0.

Before long, Manning had Denver up 10-3.

But then, the Chargers held the Broncos to just 13 yards on their next 13 plays covering nearly 30 minutes of game clock, allowing just one fi rst down and forcing Manning to go three-and-out three times.

Meanwhile, the Chargers were chewing up yards and clock on their way to winning the time of possession by an astonishing 17 minutes, 38 seconds.

And San Diego’s win sent ripples through the AFC playoff picture.

The Chargers (7-7) are now in the thick of the wild-card race with their second win in four days over a Manning brother — they eliminated the New York Giants from the NFC playoff race Sunday with a 37-14 win over Eli’s team — and the Broncos (11-3) were left to sweat out the long weekend.

Now, the New England Patriots (10-3) can surpass them in the race for the top seed in the AFC with a win over Miami and the Chiefs (10-3) can tie them atop the AFC West again, although the Broncos own the tie-breaker there.

Philip Rivers threw two TD passes to rookie Keenan Allen in the fi rst half and Nick Novak kicked a 38-yard fi eld goal, giving the Chargers a 17-10 lead at the break.

The Chargers cashed in on their coin-toss deferment when they drove right down the fi eld again and Ryan Matthews slipped Von Miller’s tackle for a 23-yard TD on San Diego’s opening drive of the third quarter to make it 24-10.

Even when they were backed up at their 1, things went right for San Diego.

Lined up to punt out of their own end zone on fourth-and-4 from their own 7, the Chargers got Broncos linebacker Nate Irving to jump into the neutral zone.

Instead of giving the Broncos the ball back at midfi eld midway through the third quarter, the Chargers ran off another seven minutes before fi nally punting.

Manning drove Denver 89 yards and pulled the Broncos to 24-17 with a 5-yard TD toss to Bubba Caldwell with 10:25 left.

Manning got the ball back at his 3 with a chance to tie it with a long drive, but linebacker Thomas Keiser intercepted his defl ected pass at the Denver 33, leading to Novak’s 35-yarder that made it a 10-point game with 2:36 left.

The Broncos’ last drive stalled at the 24 and Matt Prater’s 42-yarder made it a one-touchdown game but he couldn’t execute the onside kick with 29 seconds left and Rivers took a knee.

The Broncos ran just 53 plays, only 11 of them runs, a week after taking 91 snaps against Tennessee in much colder weather.

The Broncos have been held under 30 points just three times all season, twice by the Chargers, whom they beat 28-20 last month when Jack Del Rio was in charge while Fox was recuperating from heart surgery in North Carolina.

Klinsmann to remain as US coach through 2018

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?

Life-saving help offered at quitnowindiana.com

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.

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

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.
