JOHANNESBURG (AP) — President Barack Obama’s eulogy was for Nelson Mandela, but it laid out for a global audience the work that Obama himself would like to be remembered for: an unending fi ght against injustice and inequality. Obama acknowl-edged he sometimes wonders whether he is doing enough to live up to Mandela’s historic legacy.

Speaking to a crowd of thousands at a rain-soaked memorial service — and millions more on television — Obama said it was crucial that progress in the U.S. and South Africa not “cloud the fact that our work is not yet done.” He said that struggles to come “may not be as fi lled with drama and moral clarity as those that came before, but they are no less important.”

Behind Obama’s words was the diffi cult political reality he and Mandela both faced. They became their nations’ fi rst black presidents, shattering racial barriers that once seemed impossible to break. But their groundbreaking electoral success came with sky-high expectations that proved diffi cult to fulfi ll, on problems like poverty and injustice.

For Obama, Tuesday’s focus on global inequality dovetailed with an agenda he is trying to revive in the U.S., as he seeks to steady his standing with middle class Americans after a trying presidential year. Obama’s renewed attention to the issue of income inequality in particular is popular with his liberal base, though he stands little chance of gaining support for items such as

a minimum wage increase from congressional Republicans.

“With honesty, regardless of our station or our circumstance, we must ask: ‘How well have I applied his lessons in my own life?” Obama said of Mandela. “It’s a question I ask myself, as a man and as president.”

While Obama may be facing political troubles at home, his broad popularity in South Africa was on full display. The crowd at the Johannesburg soccer stadium erupted in applause each time the American president’s name was mentioned or his image fl ashed on the stadium screen.

In small but signifi cant ways, Obama also appeared to be trying to live Mandela’s message of overcoming animosity and bitterness.

He shared a brief handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro, who attended the service. It was a rare greeting between the leaders of two countries that have long been at odds, and the simple gesture stoked talk of a possible rapprochement.

But just moments later, Obama

launched into veiled criticism of Cuba and other authoritarian governments that were friendly with Mandela.

“There are too many people who happily embrace Madiba’s legacy of racial reconciliation but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality,” Obama said, referring to Mandela by his clan name. “There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom but do not tolerate dissent from their own people.”

The White House said Obama

met with members of Mandela’s family during the memorial service, including Mandela’s widow, Graca Machel, and expressed condolences on behalf of the American people. Obama and fi rst lady Michelle Obama also called Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa from their hotel after the service to thank the retired Anglican bishop for his anti-apartheid work.

By the time Obama became president, Mandela had largely retired from public life. The two men held just one in-person meeting in 2005 and spoke only occasionally by phone.

Obama’s Mandela eulogy echoes his own agenda

Thursday for six performances at Lakewood Park Baptist Church, 5555 C.R. 29, Auburn.

A cast of approximately 50 people will present “The Journey,” a Christmas story featuring drama, dance, music and more than 40,000 lights that react with computerized synchronization to the music.

“The Journey” tells the story of a single mother, Laura, who has allowed life to take her on a journey that led her away from the Lord and her faith. She and her 10-year-old son, Max, take a journey together as they experience the Christmas

story in a unique way and are drawn to Bethlehem and the baby Jesus in the manger. Other cast members portray Micah the prophet, Mary and Joseph, the angels, shepherds and wise men as they celebrate the birth of Christ.

Performances are scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m., Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 3 and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 and 7 p.m. All tickets for the Friday performance have been sold.

Reserved-seating tickets are available for $5 each by calling the church offi ce, 925-2006. Some free general-seating tickets are available.

AUBURN — Let it snow, because city and county road crews are ready.

More than 1,200 tons of salt sit in city and county barns waiting for Mother Nature to drop her annual winter offering on local roadways. Both Auburn street superintendent Bill Brandon and county highway director Eric Patton said their fl eets of plow trucks are primed for nature’s assault.

“We’re ready, it’s just a matter of waiting for it to get here,” said Brandon.

When it does get here, Brandon and Patton said all their fl eet trucks have undergone seasonal maintenance checks, their crews have been put on notice and their plans have been laid out — as much as possible, of course.

The city and county operate during winter storms in much the same way. Patton and Brandon will watch weather reports ahead of predicted storms, and

dispatchers and local police will serve as the eyes and ears to report road conditions to them.

When snow and ice fall, road crews will be called in and deployed. The city’s street depart-ment has a 12-man crew to run its fl eet of 10 heavy-duty trucks and six smaller plow trucks, though Brandon can call in 6-8 workers from other city departments to help plow if conditions warrant extra help. Patton has a 20-man crew at his disposal, and said

WASHINGTON (AP) — Shedding gridlock, key members of Congress reached a modest budget agreement Tuesday to restore about $63 billion in automatic spending cuts from programs ranging from parks to the Pentagon.

The spending increases would be offset by a variety of increased fees and other provisions elsewhere in the budget totaling about $85 billion over a decade, leaving enough for a largely symbolic cut of about $23 billion in the nation’s debt, now $17 trillion and growing.

Federal workers, retired members of the military under age 62, airline travelers and health care providers who treat Medicare patients would bear much of the cost.

The budget deal was one of a few major measures left on Congress’ to-do list near the end of a bruising year that has produced a partial government

HIP plan extended through April

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — More than 10,000 low-income Indiana residents who participate in a state-run insurance plan will be able to keep their benefi ts through April.

The Family and Social Services Administration announced Tuesday it is extending its Healthy Indiana Plan to participants who earn between 100 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty

level. The move will give members more time to obtain coverage through the federal health care exchange.

FSSA Secretary Debra Minott said many HIP members have struggled to enroll in the exchange because of technical issues.

Museum adds rare pump to displaysThe National Auto & Truck Museum is displaying this 1916 gas pump donated by the late John N. Grimm. His surviving family paid to have the pump restored to its original condition by a professional fi rm in Iowa, a fi ve-year project. The museum now has the only totally restored Raymond Four in One Pump known to exist. It could dispense air, gasoline, oil and water. The restoration company placed its value

between $40,000 and $50,000. With the pump are Karen Grimm-Landel and her children, Joel, Pete and Sarah. “The museum wants to thank the Grimm family for this exceptional piece of automo-tive history. Visitors to the museum are encouraged to look the pump over closely, because it is very rare,” said Don Grogg, the museum’s executive director.

HAMILTON — Hamilton Community Schools board member Dianna Mejia has resigned from the District 2 at-large seat she held for just six months.

Mejia has been promoted to a position at the state Department of Child Services in Indianapolis, making her ineligible to govern the school district. The school board on Monday approved

Mejia’s resignation, effective Dec. 1.

“She regretted, she said, heavily leaving the board; she really enjoyed it,” said school board President Scott Lucas.

Mejia replaced former two-term board member Michael Kaufman in July.

The district has advertised the position and will accept applica-tions for the seat until Thursday, Lucas said. The board then will choose Mejia’s replacement. Lucas

said the board hopes to have a replacement seated by the fi rst of the year.

In other business Monday, Superintendent Jon Willman briefed the board on a conference he

attended recently in Indianapolis on the similarities and differences between the educational systems

of world powers.Willman said a former

Michigan State University professor, who is a Chinese immigrant and now an expert on education, spoke and debunked the notion that education systems in China and other nations are stronger than U.S. schools. Willman said the expert discussed how some countries will cherry-pick strong students to test, while the United States tests every student, and he said an apples-to-

apples comparison would show the United States has the best education system in the world.

Willman said the speaker suggested school districts should focus on local control to maintain success.

Also Monday, the school board approved: an out-of-state fi eld trip for the senior class to Chicago, Jan. 2-4; and an annual resolution to allow the business manager to make year-end transfers and cuts to balance the books.

AUBURN — DeKalb County Judge Monte Brown has ruled in favor of the DeKalb Central school district, declaring it owns four lots of the McIntosh property on South Main Street.

The school district fi led documents in DeKalb Superior Court II to clear the title of the property. The land originally was deeded to the School Corporation of Auburn in 1916 by William H. McIntosh, to be used for high school purposes.

Relatives of the late McIntosh, John Marecek and Arthur Rakestraw Jr., contested the action to clear the title, and asked that it be transferred to McIntosh’s heirs.

Monday, Brown granted the school district’s motion for summary judgment, fi nding the school district had proved it is entitled to ownership of the property by adverse possession. It allows a party who possesses someone else’s land for an extended period of time to claim legal title to that land.

Brown noted that after the land was deeded to the School Corporation of Auburn, a high school was built at the site and used as

a high school until 1968.When school districts

merged, the DeKalb Central school district was created and took legal title to the property.

Brown found that the school district used and maintained the property exclusively from the time it acquired the property to the present. From 1968, when the property ceased being used as a high school and became a school for younger students, the school district continued to claim title to and possession of the property, Brown noted.

According to terms of the deed from McIntosh, title to the property could have reverted back to the heirs of McIntosh on the day after the date the property last was used as a high school. The school district has possessed the property for about 45 years after it was used as a high school, Brown added.

The school district argued, and Brown agreed, that the statute of limita-tions for McIntosh’s heirs to begin an action to recover the property has expired. Brown found that no heir of McIntosh commenced a claim for title to the property within 15 years, as required by Indiana law.

Regional Roundup•

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra reports that its budget is back in the black for the fi rst time since 2007 because of big spending cuts and an increase in donations.

The results come after the orchestra’s management and its musicians agreed to a new contract in October 2012 following a lockout during which fi ve weekends of performances were canceled.

The orchestra ended its 2012-2013 fi scal year with a surplus of nearly $236,000 on $23.2 million in revenue, offi cials announced during its annual meeting Monday.

The orchestra’s spending dropped 15 percent, in large part from a 32 percent reduction in base pay for musicians. Fundraising was up $4 million to a record level of about $9.8 million.

“After a groundswell of support from the Indianapolis community and major sacrifi ces from our musicians, the ISO had a milestone fundraising year and demonstrated it can operate within its means,” symphony board chairwoman Martha Lamkin said.

The new fi ve-year contract with musicians cut base pay for the orches-tra’s some 80 musicians to $53,000 a year, rising to $70,000 in the fi nal contract year. It also reduced the year-round performance schedule by eight weeks during the fi rst two years.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — The Studebaker National Museum will open a new exhibit to mark the 50th anniversary of the last Studebaker to roll off the assembly line in South Bend.

The South Bend Tribune reports the anniversary is Dec. 20, and the exhibit

Former Studebaker Corp. employees who visit the museum that day will be invited to sit for 90-second video recordings of their Studebaker memories.

In addition, a former Studebaker assembly plant will be open for public tours for several hours that day. Members of the Studebaker Drivers Club also will be there and some classic Studebakers will be on display.

GREENFIELD (AP) — The mayor of a central Indiana city has died just days after his family said he had ended treatment for a recurrence of liver cancer and was in home hospice care.

Greenfi eld Mayor Dick Pasco died at his home Tuesday morning, Chuck Anderson, administrative assistant in the mayor’s offi ce, told The Associated Press. Anderson said he had spoken with Pasco’s daughter.

Pasco, who had been suffering liver problems since shortly before his 2011

election, was hospitalized on Nov. 30 for dehydration and pain. He returned home on Friday, his wife and daughter said in a statement to the Daily Reporter.

The statement said the 66-year-old wanted to spend time at home with family members and close friends and that the family appreci-ated the public’s support and prayers.

Pasco had said he was fi rst diagnosed with liver cancer 14 years ago and given eight months to live. He had surgery followed by experimental chemotherapy.

He had part of his liver removed last year, yet he rarely missed a City Council or Board of Works meeting after taking offi ce in January 2012.

FORT WAYNE — A former Kendallville resident is gaining national attention for her ordeal as a stalking victim.

Dawn Hillyer of Fort Wayne was featured on a national cable TV network Monday night and is scheduled to appear on Katie Couric’s talk show Dec. 17 describing her experiences.

Monday, Investigation Discovery network’s season premiere of “Stalked: Someone’s Watching” told Hillyer’s story.

Hillyer said Tuesday she hopes her television appearances will make an impact on awareness of stalking.

“I’m doing it No. 1 for myself,

but for our kids,” she said in a telephone interview.

Hillyer is campaigning for more laws to protect stalking victims. She said she would like to see Indiana join Ohio, Michigan and other states that allow GPS tracking of convicted felons after their release from prison.

She also wants Indiana to approve lifelong protective orders for stalking victims.

Hillyer favors starting a domestic violence registry — similar to the sex offender registry — that would include stalking offenders.

“It’s an inherent trait that’s inside of them,” she said about stalkers. “Very rarely is it a one-time occurrence.”

In her case, she said, “There was a victim before me and a victim after me, too.”

Hillyer lived in Kendallville as a child until moving to Fort Wayne during her high school years.

In February 2012, an Allen County jury found Hillyer’s stalker guilty of two counts of stalking, Class C

felonies. A month later, the judge in the case sentenced Michael McClellan of Waterloo to fi ve years in prison for each count — a total of 10 years.

Evidence at the trial showed

Hillyer dated McClellan for a year before ending their relationship in August 2006. In October of that year, McClellan began contacting her multiple times daily by phone, text, email and in person. On one day he called her 88 times in a two-hour period.

According to court documents, McClellan also confronted Hillyer at her home and in public, threatening to kill her on one occasion. He also hacked into her email account and harassed people on her contact list. Hillyer put her house up for sale, moved, changed cars and closed her Internet account. The harassment continued through January 2008.

McClellan appealed his

sentence, but the Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the sentence and wrote in its ruling, “In addition to Hillyer, there is substantial evidence in the record of at least two other women whom he has terrorized over the years.”

Todd Allen Herendeen, left, and Ray Walker will be joined by Ronnie Knight in a Patriotic Christmas concert Friday at the Cole Auditorium in Kendallville.

BY SUE CARPENTERscarpenter@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Three national recording artists will share the stage Friday in Cole Auditorium for a Patriotic Christmas concert.

Todd Allen Herendeen, Ray Walker and Ronnie Knight will honor all veterans and also present each veteran attending with a gift. They are asking audience members to bring items to send overseas to those now serving their country.

Herendeen of Panama City, Fla., is a graduate of East Noble High School. He and his band have performed in Las Vegas and other venues, but he said he always remembers his northeast Indiana roots.

Bass singer Walker, a Grammy Award winner, was a member of the Jordanaires, the longtime

backup singers for Elvis Presley. Walker, who also performed with Patsy Cline and Ricky Nelson, has one of the most-recorded voices in history.

Two of his fellow members of the Jordanaires died in the last year, but Walker keeps up the singing tradition with Herendeen and other stage shows.

Knight, also a bass singer, is a Nashville-based artist who has sung backup with Kenny Rogers, the Blackwood Brothers and J.D. Sumner. Although retired, he heard Herendeen and said he “liked what the group was doing” and recently joined them on the road. He will add his baritone voice at Friday’s concert.

The fi rst half of the program will include Walker’s stories and anecdotes of working with various artists, mixed with

nostalgic music.During the second half

of the show, Walker will share his experiences with Elvis Presley behind the scenes, on stage and in movies such as “Blue Christmas.”

Music by Heredeen will be backed up vocally by Knight and Walker. Patriot music will be played in both sets, along with gospel and holiday favorites.

Friday’s concert will begin at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6:15 p.m.

Tickets cost $25 in advance and are available at the Kendallville Chamber of Commerce, Paradise Buffet in Auburn and Rome City American Legion Post 381. Tickets also will be available at the door for $30 Friday.

Cole Auditorium is at East Noble High School, 901 Garden St., Kendall-ville.

‘The Sound of Music’ baroness dies at 91

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eleanor Parker, who was nominated for Academy Awards three times for her portrayals of strong-willed women and played a scheming baroness in “The Sound of Music,” has died at 91.

Family friend Richard Gale said Parker died Monday morning due to complications from pneumonia. “She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children at a medical facility near her home in Palm Springs,” Gale added.

Parker was nominated for Oscars in 1950, 1951 and 1955, but then saw her career begin to wane in the early 1960s. Her last memorable role came in 1965’s “The Sound of Music,” in which she played the scheming baroness who loses Christopher Plummer to Julie Andrews.

he’ll typically call them all during storms to have them available on demand.

Brandon said when it starts snowing, he’ll fi rst deploy salt trucks, which he said handle minor snow falls. The city’s snow accumulation threshold is 2 inches, so when snow falls beyond that level, Brandon’s crews will drop the plows.

It’s similar for Patton’s crews, though their threshold is 3 inches, he said, and so much simply depends on road conditions.

While crews wait to react

to winter weather, trucks will sit ready and the salt is piled high. The city has 500-600 tons of salt and has another 900 tons at its disposal for the remainder of the winter. The county has 600 tons of sand and salt mix that was left over from last year, and Patton said the county is committed for 1,200 addition tons of pure salt.

“So yeah, we’re set,” said Patton.

Hopefully. Both Patton and Brandon their plans are changeable — a requirement of the business they’re in. Brandon said when it comes

to winter readiness, you can plan on your plan working if Mother Nature allows it to work.

“I’ve been around here long enough to know you can’t plan on the same game plan,” said Brandon. “Every event is different, from the timing of it to the amount of precipitation to what kind of precipi-tation. It’s a combination and figuring out what it’s going to do. You wait until it gets here. You can look ahead, but you can’t plan for one specific thing because everything is different.”

Kerry, Congress spar over Iran nuclear deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administra-tion and Congress clashed Tuesday over the historic nuclear deal with Iran, exposing deep rifts over a U.S. pledge to refrain from any new sanctions over the next six months in exchange for concessions on enriching uranium. The disagreement could have broad consequences for the U.S. diplomatic effort to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

In his fi rst congres-sional testimony since last month’s Geneva agreement, Secretary of State John Kerry defended the diplomacy as having halted and rolled back central elements of Iran’s nuclear program for the fi rst time. He pleaded with Democrats and Republicans alike not to scuttle the chances of a peaceful resolution to a crisis that has regularly featured U.S. and Israeli threats of potential military action.

“Let me be very clear:

This is a very delicate diplomatic moment and we have a chance to address peacefully one of the most pressing national security concerns that the world faces today,” Kerry told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “We’re at a crossroads. We’re at one of those really hinge points in history. One path could lead to an enduring resolution in the international communi-ty’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. The other path could lead to continued hostility and potentially to confl ict.”

Kerry’s appearance came as lawmakers increasingly threatened to undermine the six-month interim pact, which gives Iran $7 billion in sanctions relief over the next half-year in exchange for the Islamic republic’s neutralizing its higher-en-riched uranium stockpiles, not adding any new centri-fuges and ceasing work at a heavy water reactor that potentially could produce plutonium used in nuclear weapons.

Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill., are close to completing a bill that would require the administration to certify every 30 days Iran’s adherence to the interim pact, according to legisla-tive aides.

Without that certifi ca-tion, the legislation would re-impose all sanctions and introduce new restrictions on Iran’s engineering, mining and construction industries. The legisla-tion also calls for a global boycott of Iranian oil by 2015 if Iran fails to live up to the interim agreement. Foreign companies and banks violating the bans would be barred from doing business in the United States.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is drafting similar legislation, aides say.

Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has warned any new package of commercial restrictions would kill the deal.

shutdown, a fl irtation with a fi rst-ever federal default and gridlock on President Barack Obama’s agenda.

“While I look forward to reviewing the details, I am concerned that this deal may be another missed opportunity by Congress to make the tough choices needed that will secure our long-term fi scal future,” U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said. “I believe Congress needs to live by the budget levels it passed in 2011 or replace them with real, targeted spending reforms.”

In a blow to Democrats, the agreement announced by Sen.

Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Paul Ryan, R-Wis., omitted an extension of benefi ts for workers unemployed longer than 26 weeks. The program expires on Dec. 28, when payments will be cut off for an estimated 1.3 million individ-uals.

Aides predicted bipartisan approval in both houses in the next several days, despite grumbling from liberals over the omission of the unemployment extension and even though tea party-aligned groups are pushing Republican conser-vatives to oppose the deal.

The White House quickly issued a statement from

Obama praising the deal as a “good fi rst step.” He urged lawmakers to both parties to follow up and “actually pass a budget based on this agreement so I can sign it into law and our economy can continue growing and creating jobs without more Washington headwinds.”

Congress’ two budget negotiators hailed their own work.

The deal “reduces the defi cit by $23 billion and it does not raise taxes. It cuts spending in a smarter way” than the ones in effect, said Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who chairs the House Budget Committee.

GARRETT — Garrett junior linebacker Bo Davis was surprised when he found out that he was selected to the Indiana Football Coaches Association Class 3A Junior All-State squad. But it was certainly a good surprise.

“I didn’t really expect that at all,” Davis said. “I was pretty happy. It’s a pretty big deal.”

But the soft-spoken Davis, who is the middle linebacker in the Railroaders’ 4-3 scheme, is quick to defl ect the reasons for his success to his teammates that helped him fi nish with 103 tackles

this season.“The linemen take out the

blocks and I’m supposed to do my job. I wouldn’t really say that I’m the leader, position-wise,” Davis said.

The IFCA selections were announced Monday morning.

Davis was one of 12 juniors in the state in Class 3A to earn the distinction on defense. Davis fi nished with four tackles for loss, one fumble recovery, three interceptions and two pass defl ections. Davis had a three-game stretch against Bluffton, Woodlan and South Adams where he had 15, 16 and 17 tackles, respectively.

Davis was named the team’s Defensive Most Valuable Player

for the second consecutive year.“He’s the guy who takes the

signals. He’s the fi rst guy we talk to from the sideline. He’s the fi rst guy involved in the strategy,” said Garrett coach Chris DePew. “Most things in this kind of defense are created to set that middle linebacker up and make plays. And Bo does, he makes them.”

Davis was also a starting running back for the Railroaders this year, fi nishing with 346 yards on 64 carries with two touchdowns. Davis also caught nine passes for 88 yards and one touchdown.

Davis said his favorite game of the season was a 34-0 win over DeKalb, in which he had 13 tackles, an interception, and a rushing and receiving touchdown.

“When your talented kids are your hardest workers, you have a special player and that’s what he

is,” DePew said. “He’s a kid that won’t miss a workout, won’t miss a meeting and never would miss a practice. He’s just 100 percent dependable and dedicated, and sets a high standard that gives him ultimate credibility with his teammates.”

Davis was a second-year starter at linebacker, and was also the team’s captain this past season.

Garrett fi nished the season with a 4-6 record, but the campaign ended with two thrilling matchups against Heritage, both of which ended with diffi cult Railroader losses. But Davis is optimistic for what the team can do next season.

“Our fi rst loss to Heritage, we had a 21-point lead and it’s just the inexperience,” Davis said. “In the sectional we were neck-and-neck the whole time. But those tough losses, they hurt a lot and motivate us for next year.”

AUBURN — One of the things I love about working here in Northeast Indiana is the passion that every fan base has for their teams. Every perceived slight is brought to my attention loudly and emphatically — and growing up here, one would think I’d be ready for that onslaught. I just want to give a kudos to everyone out there supporting their teams with the passion and fervor that’s sometimes not seen anymore. It makes my job that much more fun knowing that there’s a huge audience for our small-town, community paper.

One thing this section is

known for is the Preps of the Week, which hasn’t been around in some time. But guess what? It’s baaaaaaaaaaaaack! There are always a number of athletes that put up performances worthy of such an honor, but there can only be two.

The Girls Prep of the Week is Garrett senior Kaitlin Wisel. Wisel came up big for the Class 3A No. 7 Railroaders in Saturday night’s 50-37 win over No. 14 Leo, scoring 21 points. She made three 3-pointers and hit 8 of 10 free throws. With the Lion defense locked on leading scorer Brandi Dawson (who only attempted seven shots in the contest), Wisel rose to the occasion to keep the Railroaders undefeated and vault them in the top 10 in the coaches poll.

DeKalb junior Cole Hartman, left, dribbles the ball down the court as he’s being defended by Leo’s Adam Davison during Tuesday night’s

game. Hartman led all scorers with 24 points in the Barons’ 59-53 win over the Lions.

BY PHIL FRIENDpfriend@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO – The fi rst 12 minutes of DeKalb’s basketball game Tuesday night against Leo looked awfully similar to the Fort Wayne North and Northrop contests.

The Lions used half-court and full-court ball pressure to make the Barons’ lives miserable, holding them without a fi eld goal for nearly eight minutes. But something fi nally clicked for Jon Everingham’s team, using an array of backdoor cuts and screens, ball movement, corner 3s and Cole Hartman down low to eventually dispose of visiting Leo, 59-53.

“We’ve got really good kids in

our program, guys that are willing to be coached,” Everingham said. “And when we went into halftime, we just talked about spacing and taking your time with your cuts. We got backdoor cuts 3-4-5 times early, which gave us the ability to move Cole to the interior and then we hurt them there with a couple kickouts.”

Hartman proved tough to stop all night, leading all scorers with 24 points. Hartman made four straight baskets in the second quarter, all coming in the fi nal 3:33, to help the Barons (2-2) take a 26-21 lead into the break. He also fi nished the third quarter strong; with Leo cutting the Baron lead to 37-33, Hartman scored

twice in the fi nal 46 seconds and scored again 13 seconds into the fourth quarter to push DeKalb’s lead to 43-36.

Dahlton Daub would then score 20 seconds later to extent that lead to nine points.

Hartman returned to the lineup after missing Friday’s game against North Side with an ankle injury.

“We were moving the ball a lot better, taking jump stops and good shots. Getting the ball inside always helps against pressure,” Hartman said. “They were just a scrappy team, tough to get any passing or shots off. They were

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Evan Gordon knew transferring to Indiana would invite pressure. He recognized that his last name brought extra expectations.

Gordon suddenly looks more than worthy.

He scored a season-high 26 points - 16 in a dominant opening half for Indiana - to lead the Hoosiers to an 81-54 blowout win over Oakland on Tuesday. Gordon has 41 points in his last two games after scoring in double fi gures just twice in the fi rst eight.

“It’s all coming out,” Gordon said. “When your team has confi dence in you, it gives you confi dence. I’ve gotten open. I’ve stayed a little more aggressive than I have been. It’s ball movement really. We’re playing faster and pushing the ball ahead. Everybody’s getting pretty good looks.”

Indiana (8-2) won its second straight and extended its noncon-ference home winning streak to 36.

Gordon, a 6-foot senior who transferred from Arizona State in the offseason, was expected to add experience, ballhandling and scoring to Indiana’s backcourt. Playing off the bench, Gordon has seen time at both guard spots. Against the Golden Grizzlies, most of his fi rst-half minutes came at point guard with starter Yogi Ferrell limited to nine minutes because of foul trouble.

Gordon thrived, making his fi rst eight shots, one shy of matching a school record, before Oakland center Corey Petros blocked a layup with 8:22 left in the game. Gordon fi nished 10-of-12 from the fi eld in 26 minutes and had fans at Assembly Hall periodically chanting his name.

He started 7-of-7 in a win over North Florida on Saturday before missing his fi nal two shots to fi nish with 15 points.

Eastside players to score in double fi gures in the Blazers’ 68-64 upset (or was it?) of Fort Wayne Canterbury on Friday night. Moughler’s scoring output may have been the unlikeliest in that he was starting in place of an injured Tristan Sprunger. Moughler also hit two free throws with 51.2 seconds left to put the Blazers up for good. Before the Blazers’ win on Friday, Canterbury had won the last fi ve contests against Eastside by just under 20 points per game.

Others worthy of recogni-tion on the girls side include DeKalb senior girls basket-ball player Baylee Rinehart, who scored 19 points — 13 in the fi rst quarter — in the Barons’ rout of Bellmont Saturday night, and Eastside’s Maddy Minehart, who had 17 points and 18 rebounds in a loss to West Noble.

On the boys’ side, DeKalb junior boys basket-ball player Carson Forrest had 18 points and eight rebounds in the Barons’ loss to Fort Wayne North. The Garrett’s boys basketball duo of Justin McCoy (22 points) and Karsten Cooper (16 points, 10 rebounds, six assists) also deserve a shoutout for their perfor-mance in a win against Woodlan.

That week’s Hannah Picks The Preps contest from The Star saw four competitors tie at the top of chart with 15 correct picks. But the best tiebreaker belonged to Bob Emerick of Auburn, whose tiebreaker of 104 points was closest to the 117 points scored by Mercer in its 117-108 triple overtime victory over Valparaiso. For his efforts, Emerick wins the $25 gift certifi cate from MJS Apparel in Garrett. Dave Miller of Garrett, Skip Zellars of Auburn and Janet Zeider of Garrett all also picked 15 winners.

This week’s winner of the $25 gift certifi cate from MJS Apparel is Mike Emerick of Hamilton, who selected 18 winners. He was only tripped up by Garrett’s win over Woodlan and Prairie Heights’ victory over Fairfi eld. Jr. Wood of Garrett, Ron Warstler of Auburn and Bob Zmyslony of Garrett all picked 17 winners.

BUTLER — Visiting Churubusco defeated the Eastside Blazers 57-18 in a Northeast Corner Confer-ence wrestling match Tuesday at Butler.

The Eagles recorded pins at 106, 138, 160, 170 and 285 to go with three Eastside forfeits.

The Blazers got pins at 126, 152 and 182.

Brandon Miller (126) pinned Churubusco’s Cody Thomas in 2:20. Gage DeLong (152) needed 1:29 to pin the Eagles’ Lyle McParlin. Terry Nickolson (182) pinned Churubusco’s Braydon Shively in 3:13.

“They’ve got a bunch of tough guys in their lineup. We knew that going in,” said Eastside coach Joel Richman. “We didn’t do very well (Saturday) and it carried over tonight, was for some reason, we started going to our backs and (ended up) getting pinned.

“That’s part of staying tough throughout a match

and watching out for those spots to stay save and getting into those dangerous positions where we’re going to give up pins.”

Three decisions went against the Blazers.

Eastside’s Codey Ross was defeated 7-2 by Churubusco’s R.J. Sonneburg at 120 pounds. The Eagles’ Dean Garete used a late reversal to put away Eastside’s Brock Munsey 11-8 at 145 pounds. Churubusco’s Nick Helbert scored the fi nal six points, including a three-point near-fall, to defeat Eastside’s Jennings Nickolson 11-7 at 195 pounds.

“We had a couple of close ones that didn’t go the way we needed them to go,” Richman said. “We’ll build and work the next week and a half and see what we have for them at Carroll.”

Luc Rodman and Keezan Jarrard, both wrestling at 170 pounds, won reserve matches for Eastside. Rodman’s victory came

by injury default. Jarrard pinned his Churubusco opponent.

getting a lot of tips and turnovers, and it was hard to score against that.”

DeKalb fi nished the game with 17 turnovers.

DeKalb took its largest lead of the night with 6:23 left in the contest when Hunter Cone hit a 3-pointer from the corner — his second of the game – to give the Barons a 48-38 lead.

“That really set the tone in our favor,” Hartman said.

But Leo dug in, scoring fi ve quick points to cut the lead in half. Following a bucket and two free throws from Daub (which came two minutes apart), Leo used a 3-pointer from David Hardin and a bucket from Tyler Beer to cut DeKalb’s lead to 52-48 with 1:14 left.

The Lions would never get the defi cit any closer as DeKalb hit 7 of 8 free throws in the fi nal 1:03 of the game.

“We’re getting better offensively and it’s showing just a little bit,” Everingham said. “It’s a process of fi nding good spacing, making good, sharp cuts and fi nding the open man and fi nding the inside man. We’re still forming that identity offensively and that’s coming.”

Leo’s Grinnell College-style offense was defended well by the Barons. The Lions weren’t shy from beyond-the-arc, hoisting up 37 3-pointers in the contest, but only making seven (19 percent). At one point, Leo was 1 of 22 from downtown before catching fi re in the second half, making three attempts in both of the fi nal two quarters.

“We did a pretty good job of always contesting,” Everingham said. “They didn’t have any open looks, in my opinion. Coach (Cary) Cogdell has a philosophy with the program and they do good job getting those threes up. I know for sure their goal is to get 40 3s a game.”

Both Daub (14 points) and Cone (13 points) were in double fi gures for the Barons. Tanner Moore scored eight points to round out the scoring. Hartman also had seven rebounds,

with Moore grabbing six, and Carson Forrest and Will Chrisman earning fi ve rebounds each.

Hardin led Leo with 22 points. Dylan Barrow had nine points and four blocks, and Adam Davison tallied eight points.

DeKalb also got the job done at the free throw line, making 21 of 26 attempts.

“The good thing about our team is that the defense is playing so well that it’s keeping us in the game and giving us a chance to get a win,” Everingham said.

DeKalb came out hot early, leading 12-2 halfway through the fi rst quarter following traditional three-point plays by Daub and Moore. But Leo went on a 14-3 run and took its only lead of the game on a pair of free throws by Connor Van Ooyen with 4:23 left in the half. Daub quickly followed with a lay-up and the Barons relinquished the lead.

“It’s always good to get a win, but we just need to keep getting better every day,” Hartman said.

Leo 58, DeKalb JV 42Leo’s junior varsity

defeated DeKalb, 58-42. Harrison Price led the Barons with 16 points. Mason Wengert scored eight points, Logan Casper had fi ve points, and Luke Donat, Brandon Dunham and Trey Beachey had four points apiece. Jay Krebs also added one point.

PHIL FRIEND

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

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert threw all the inside body jabs Tuesday night. Paul George fi nished it off with the knockout blow.

Together, the Pacers’ devastating one-two scoring punch did it again to the champs.

Hibbert fi nished with 24 points, George made two big 3-pointers during a 15-point second half scoring spree and Indiana rallied from a seven-point halftime defi cit to take Round 1 against Miami 90-84.

“It was fun, a real intense game,” George said. “Both teams were playing at a high level. You could see an urgency to win this game tonight.”

While Indiana extended its franchise-record home start to a perfect 10-0 and took a three-game advantage over Miami in the early chase for home-court advantage, this was no ordinary regular season game.

During pregame media availability, Indiana’s Lance Stephenson said this game felt like a championship matchup. Two of Miami’s big three, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, tried to downplay that sort of talk by explaining this was not a win or go home night.

The hometown fans didn’t care what the Heat thought. They were already in postseason form, booing loudly at the offi cials, chanting “He’s a fl opper” on some contestable foul calls and eventually serenading Miami players with those familiar chants of “Beat the Heat.”

But the Pacers (19-3) also understood this was only be the start of a season-long quest that could pit the two best teams in the East in the conference fi nals for a second straight year.

First, there’s the rematch in Miami on Dec. 18. They won’t meet again until March 26 in Indy, then head back to Miami on April 11 before what most expect to be a third straight meeting in the playoffs. If those games have as much intrigue and pizazz as Tuesday night’s showdown, they may be the most compelling all season.

And the Pacers can’t wait to show how much they can improve — even on a win over the two-time champs and four-time MVP LeBron James.

“It’s just one game,” Hibbert said. “We’re going to learn from it. It’s a learning experience. It’s still early in the season. We have a lot more work to do.”

Pacers rally to defeat Heat

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Brad Boyes scored the winning goal in a shootout to lift the Florida Panthers over the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Aleksander Barkov also scored in the tiebreaker for Florida, which has won three of four overall and two in a row against the Red Wings.

Tomas Tatar scored for Detroit in the shootout but Tim Thomas stopped shots by Daniel Alfredsson and Gustav Nyquist.

Nick Bjugstad and Sean Bergenheim had goals in regulation for Florida. Thomas made 24 saves.

Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi scored for the Red Wings. Jimmy Howard made 25 saves and Johan

Franzen had two assists.Detroit lost for the sixth

time this season when leading after two periods.

Florida scored twice in the third to tie the game.

Bjugstad evened it at 2 when he put the puck over Howard’s shoulder with 5:22 left in the third. The Panthers cut it to 2-1 on a goal by Bergenheim exactly 5 minutes into the period. Dmitry Kulikov bounced a shot from the point that Bergenheim touched on the way to the net.

The Red Wings took a 2-0 lead in the second on Datsyuk’s goal. Franzen slid a soft pass to Datsyuk to the left of the crease and he one-timed it into the net at 6:47. Franzen has 12 points in his last 10 games.

Red Wings fall in SO

SPORTS BRIEFS•

Trumbo to Diamondbacks in 3-team trade

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels traded slugging outfielder-first baseman Mark Trumbo to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday as part of a three-team deal that also includes the Chicago White Sox.

Pitcher Hector Santiago moved from the White Sox to the Angels, outfielder Adam Eaton from Diamondbacks to Chicago, and left-hander Tyler Skaggs from Arizona to Los Angeles.

Arizona also will receive player to be named or cash from each of the other clubs in the deal made at the winter meetings.

Trumbo hit .234 with 34 homers and 100 RBIs this year, getting much of his playing time at first base because Albert Pujols was hurt. But he was deemed superfluous by Los Angeles, which needs starting pitching behind Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Garrett Richards.

Santiago was 4-9 with a 3.56 ERA in 23 starts and 11 relief appearances. His fastball velocity has dipped from 93.8 mph in 2011 to 92.8 in 2012 to 91.8 last season, according to fangraphs.com.

Eaton hit .252 with three homers, 22 RBIs and 44 strikeouts in 250 at-bats for the Diamondbacks this year, when he also played with three minor league teams.

Skaggs went to Santa Monica High School, was taken by the Angels with the 40th overall selection of the 2009 amateur draft and was dealt to the Diamondbacks in August 2010 to complete the trade that brought Dan Haren to Los Angeles.

Skaggs made his big league debut in 2012, when he had six starts, but spent much of this year in the minors. He was 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in seven starts this year for Arizona, leaving him with a 3-6 career mark.

All four players have low salaries for now. Trumbo and Santiago are on track to be eligible for salary arbitra-tion after next season, Eaton following 2015 season and Skaggs after the 2016 season.

Arencibia, Rangers complete $1.8M contract

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Catcher J.P. Arencibia and the Texas Rangers have fi nalized a $1.8 million, one-year contract.

Arencibia hit .194 with 21 homers, 18 doubles and 55 RBIs in a career-high 138 games this year for Toronto. The Blue Jays didn’t offer him a contract by the Dec. 2 deadline and allowed him to become a free agent.

Arencibia has a .212 career average with 64 homers and 193 RBIs in four big league seasons. He turns 28 next month and fi gures to be a backup to Geovany Soto.

The agreement was announced Tuesday.

Arencibia is fourth among catchers in home runs over the past three seasons with 62. Two of Arencibia’s seven multihomer games have come in Arlington. The other fi ve were in Toronto.

Toronto’s Phaneuf suspended two games for boarding

NEW YORK (AP) — Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has been suspended two games for his hit from behind on Kevan Miller of the Boston Bruins.

Phaneuf will not play against Los Angeles on Wednesday and at St. Louis on Thursday. He loses more than $66,000 in salary.

During Toronto’s loss to Boston on Sunday night at Air Canada Centre, Miller’s back was turned at the time. No boarding penalty was called. Miller left the game but coach Claude Julien said he wasn’t worried about the defenseman’s condition.

Phaneuf had a phone hearing Tuesday with NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan.

The suspension is the Leafs’ fourth this season. The others were to David Clarkson, Nazem Kadri and Carter Ashton.

Green, Ruettgers new Packers Hall of Fame members

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Former Green Bay Packers players Ahman Green and Ken Ruettgers will be inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame next summer.

Green, a running back obtained in a trade with Seattle in 2000, played eight seasons with the Packers and finished as the club’s all-time rushing leader with 8,322 yards.

He also holds franchise records for most yards from scrimmage (11,048), 1,000-yard seasons (six), 100-yard games (33) and rushing attempts (1,851).

Ruettgers played 12 years for the Packers (1985-96) and was a fixture at left tackle for more than a decade. A first-round draft pick in 1985, he appeared in 156 career games, with 140 starts.

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. announced the selections Tuesday. The 44th Hall of Fame induction banquet will be held July 19.

Local Sports Briefs•

I won’t like Pope Francis I.I won’t like Jesus.In case you have been living under a

rock, or lack computer access, which is pretty much the same thing in some circles, on the social media website FaceBook, you almost constantly are encouraged to click “like” buttons.

You can “like” your favorite sports team, college, businesses, hobbies and television programs

“Liking” something is basically an atta-boy, a web-based popularity contest. For public relations purposes, it would be a feather in Pepsi’s cap if it had more “likes” than Coke.

But what does it actually mean?

Do companies such as DIRECTV really care if

someone “likes” them on FaceBook?To see what impact this had on the

satellite television provider, I phoned all fi ve of the people identifi ed as being media specialists at the company. Apparently, none of the media specialists at DIRECTV work on Thursday afternoons.

I then emailed the vice president of the company’s media relations arm, Darris Gringeri. My email to Mr. Gringeri was short and to the point, “I have ‘liked’ DIRECTV on FaceBook. I would like a company reaction to that.”

I eagerly awaited a response. As of late Tuesday, I am still in the awaiting phase. DIRECTV is obviously so deeply in my debt it cannot respond.

The whole “liking” thing can be misleading.

Off to one side of my FaceBook page is an ad that asks me if I like Pope Francis I.

Clicking the “like” button on this advertisement actually adds a “like” to The Catholic Company, a distributor of religious items and gifts.

I have done business with The Catholic Company because its selection and pricing are very competitive. But I will not “like” it, because the company is basically using people’s fondness for the new pope to bolster its own popularity numbers.

It’s the same thing with Jesus. A pop-up ad on Thursday told me I should hit “like” if I was a follower of Jesus Christ. Talk about peer pressure.

In the interest of full disclosure, I not only like and follow Jesus Christ, I have lovingly embraced him as my personal savior.

In this instance, hitting that “like” button to the question that asks if you are a follower of Jesus Christ adds a “like” to rare.com, an online news magazine. I found this company’s website, and didn’t fi nd anything Jesus-related on it, other than a brief story about the pope, one of a dozen stories on its home page.

Of course, the hidden implication is that if you don’t “like” Jesus, then you must “dislike” Him, which is balderdash.

Does anyone really think that Jesus is waiting for his millionth “like?” Is there another god with whom He is competing for popularity? What if God the Father gets ticked because his Son has more “likes?” The very Trinity could be in jeopardy.

Not.Don’t “like” being a follower of Jesus.

BE a follower of Jesus.Don’t “like” IU sports. Donate to the

local alumni association.Be someone who does, not someone

who “likes.”How do you like that?

Disliking Jesus

BY CECIL BOHANONCentral to the success of

the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, are 20- to 30-year-olds buying govern-ment-approved health insurance policies. The administration, its friends and allies are running a full-court public-relations press touting the advantages of health insurance to these young folks. Advertising may facilitate some to sign up, but economists generally believe that incentives are more important. How, then, does the ACA change economic incentives to buy health insurance to the young and uninsured?

Consider the health insurance market before the ACA is in place. Charlie is a 27-year-old single male who freelances in Anytown, Indiana. He earns $45,000 a year and does not currently buy health insurance. Economists surmise his choice not to buy is the by-product of a cost-benefi t calculation.

The costs of health insurance are the premiums Charley has to pay. The benefi ts of buying health insurance are twofold.

If Charlie has a catastrophic medical event — say contracts a rare form of cancer — most of his health bills will be paid for by his insurance carrier. Second, by purchasing health insurance before such an awful disease develops he has continued access to coverage. In a pre-ACA world there is a strong incentive for a healthy young person to buy insurance to insure against the risk of becoming uninsurable. But apparently Charlie fi nds the costs of being insured exceed its benefi ts.

So how does the ACA impact his calculation? According to the Kaiser Foundation Health Care website, a bronze-level ACA plan for Charlie will cost him $2,542 a year. This is almost certainly more than what Charlie would pay for equivalent coverage pre-ACA. The ACA mandates the young to overpay for health insurance so that the older folks can be allowed to underpay. The premium in the above-quoted fi gure refl ects this intention. If Charlie doesn’t want health

insurance at lower pre-ACA premiums, why will he want it at higher post-ACA premiums? Intergenerational cost shifting, a central component of the ACA, gives Charlie less of an incentive to buy insurance.

But there is a second reason why the structure of the ACA actually reduces Charlie’s incentive to buy: He can sign up for health insurance after the fact. The ACA forbids insurance companies from discriminating based on pre-existing conditions.

The designers of the ACA knew these two facts, and incorporated a tax for not buying health insurance into the ACA, a tax that clearly generates an incentive to buy insurance. But is it enough? For Charlie the tax for not buying will be $350 in 2014, rise to $700 in 2015 and then to $875 in 2016. The ACA premium is 5.6 percent of his income, the tax for not buying is .8 — 1.9 percent of his income. Charlie saves $1,667 — $2,192 or around 3.7 percent (4.8 percent of his gross income) if he does not buy health insurance under the ACA. Moreover, he

can continue to accrue these savings and then sign up for insurance if and when his health deteriorates.

One is hard-pressed to give a plausible economic reason why Charlie as situated above would change his mind and buy insurance under the ACA. Granted, if Charlie’s income is a lot more, say in six fi gures, the tax he owes for not buying will be greater, making it more likely he buys. If his income is a lot less, say $20,000, available government subsidies make him more likely to opt for an insurance purchase. But we suspect the richer Charlies are already buying insurance and the poorer Charlies are a net fi scal drain to the ACA.

So this seems clear: The ACA reduces the incentive to buy insurance for the many of the very folks needed to make it work.

Obamacare’s youth market: an economic miscalculation?

WASHINGTON — We have reached a new level of political absurdity when the right is mad at the pope and the left wants to anoint his head with oil.

Everyone seems to have his own special version of Pope Francis. Liberals have declared him a crusader for social justice, especially regarding his comments about global inequality. Conservatives fear he just might be a commie.

To briefl y recap, Pope Francis has hit two hot buttons: He has questioned the effi cacy of “unfettered” free markets and has encouraged de-empha-sizing the church’s positions on such divisive issues as gays and abortion.

The latter message, while loving and refreshing, is more complex than an “I’m OK, You’re OK” platitude. He never proposes changing church teachings but merely suggests that the church should be open to all. You can’t minister to people if you won’t let them in the door. And no one follows a wagging fi nger.

“Frequently we act as arbiters of grace rather than its facilitators,” Pope Francis writes. “But the church is not a tollhouse; it is … a place for everyone, with all their problems.”

He also makes frequent reference to the unborn, but in the context of a throwaway culture that acts as though certain people don’t exist or

can be easily discarded, as in the unborn or the elderly.

The message relating to the fi nancial world similarly targeted the collateral human

damage of “unfettered” markets. This is by-the-book Christianity, hardly the moorings of heresy. Yet, these Christian sentiments have sent some conservatives reeling to the fainting couch.

Upon reading the pope’s words about greed and inequality, Rush Limbaugh

threw down the word “Marxist” like an overcooked rib-eye. The pontiff’s words, said the man of many words, was “just pure Marxism coming out of the mouth of the pope.”

Now seems a good time to step back and consider what so often eludes us in our rush to pontifi cate: Context, context, context.

Both Karl Marx and Pope Francis may have critiqued our idolatry of money as creating an “economy of exclusion and inequality,” as Francis described the global economic system in his “Evangelii Gaudium” (The Joy of the

Gospel). But Marx was making an economic statement and Francis was making a theolog-ical one. Christianity is based on Christ, while Marxism advocates abolition of religion and acceptance of atheism. One receives grace and performs acts of charity; the other abjures grace and systematizes penury.

Next comes Adam Shaw, news editor for FoxNews.com and a Catholic, who wrote that the pope is like Obama — the worst invective a good conser-vative can hurl this side of “You’re a tool of Satan!”

“Just like President Obama loved apologizing for America, Pope Francis likes to apologize for the Catholic Church, thinking that the church is at its best when it is passive and not offending anyone’s sensibilities,” wrote Shaw. Both men, he implies, “pander to enemies,” and are “professional grievance mongers.” And so on.

Pray, where does one see passivity in Pope Francis? The man is an activist, a street worker, a foot washer and evangelizer. There’s nothing passive or pandering about him. And it would appear that Francis is quite willing to offend sensibilities.

It is useful to remember that Jesus wasn’t only a carpenter’s son but a radical who turned the tables on the status quo. Likewise Francis — a Christian

right down to his sensible black leather shoes, the better to walk the walk and sneak out at night to minister to Rome’s homeless.

What set off conservatives was the pope’s criticism of “trickle-down” economic theory that places absolute faith in markets to be humane and fair. Conservatives argue correctly that capitalism has done more to raise millions from poverty than any other system. And they well remember the fusion of Marxism and Christianity called “liberation theology” that seeks to redistribute wealth.

But the pope never mentions redistribution. He is challenging our idolatry of money and obsession with things (I confess!), a cultural fascination that distracts us from the needy. What is the successor to St. Peter supposed to do when he sees so much suffering even in free-market societies? Quote Ayn Rand?

In a fi nal contextual note, Francis is the pope, not the president. Like Jiminy Cricket, he is urging people to let their conscience be their guide.

‘Glee’ star set forrelease of album

NEW YORK (AP) — Thanks to her role on Fox’s “Glee,” Lea Michele is no stranger to recording music.

Now she’s ready to launch her solo music career.

The 27-year-old will release her debut album, “Louder,” on March 4.

In a press release, Michele says the album is a refl ection of her “experi-ences over this past year” and her “journey as an artist up to this point.”

The fi rst single, “Cannonball,” written by Sia, is available for download.

On “Glee,” Michele plays Rachel Berry, a college student in New York City who dreams of becoming a famous Broadway star.

Town sells SUVonce used by Palin

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska community’s sale on eBay of a vehicle used by former Mayor Sarah Palin has caused a stir in small-town politics.

The city of Wasilla, just north of Anchorage, auctioned off the 1999 Expedition used by Palin during her second term as mayor on the website. A Fairbanks woman bought it for $10,300, about $8,000 over its value.

The city will use the money to replenish its vehicle replacement fund. But Deputy Mayor Colleen Sullivan-Leonard proposed using the funds to restock the local food pantry.

That proposal died Monday when Mayor Verne Rupright declined to break a 3-3 council tie.

Sullivan-Leonard says it’s unfortunate Rupright is capitalizing on Palins’ name to fatten city coffers. Rupright says it’s just good business when you can get more money than expected for surplus equipment.

DiGiorno dropscheese supplierafter animal abuse

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Top-selling frozen pizza brand DiGiorno and its cheese supplier cut ties with a Wisconsin dairy farm Tuesday after an animal rights group released undercover video showing workers beating, kicking, stabbing and whipping sick and injured cows.

Wiese Brothers Farm owner Mark Wiese told The Associated Press that he fi red two employees and assigned another to duties that don’t involve handling animals after seeing the video. Wiese, who owns the 5,000-cow farm in Greenleaf with his brother, said he was not aware of the abuse until late last month.

“My brother and I and our families are just very, very shook up about the whole incident,” he said Tuesday. “And we’re just going to continue to complete our investigation and make sure changes are made if needed and make our business stronger and better.”

The farm sold its milk to Foremost Farms. Foremost supplies cheese to DiGiorno, which is owned by Nestle USA. Nestle said in a statement that it had asked Foremost Farms not to send it cheese made from Wiese Brothers Farm milk. Foremost Farms said it had stopped buying from Wiese Brothers on Monday.

Wiese Brothers also faces an investigation by the local sheriff’s depart-ment. A captain there said he couldn’t comment on the details.

An activist with Mercy For Animals shot the video while working on the farm in October and November.

Offi cials wheel in two children, part of a group of six people taken to Pershing General Hospital after being lost for

two days in the frigid mountains near Lovelock, Nev., Tuesday.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A desperate search for a couple and four children missing for two days in the below-zero cold of Nevada’s rugged mountains turned jubilant Tuesday when rescuers guided in part by cellphone signals and footprints in the snow found them alive and well near their overturned Jeep.

About 200 people had searched by land and air after the group of six failed to return Sunday from a trip to play in the snow near their hometown of Lovelock, in Nevada’s high desert.

“They stayed together and that was the key that allowed them to live through this experience. You don’t see that that often in search and rescue,” said Paul Burke, search-and-rescue coordi-nator for the state. “They did some pretty unusual things, heating up rocks and things. Staying together, that was a big deal.”

Their Jeep had overturned just off a road. A member of the rescue team said the engine would no longer start, but the group stayed in the upside-down

vehicle for shelter, burning the spare tire to keep warm.

The six were taken to Pershing General Hospital, where about 100 well-wishers lined the street and broke into cheers when two of the smallest children were taken from an ambulance. Others walked into the hospital on their own.

“The mood where I’m at’s ecstatic,” said Col. Tim Hahn of the Civil Air Patrol, which used several planes to search for the group. “We are thrilled beyond words.”

Rescuers began scouring the Seven Troughs Area wilderness on Sunday night for James Glanton, 34; his girlfriend, Christina McIntee, 25; their two children, Evan and Chloe Glanton; and Shelby Fitzpat-rick and Tate McIntee, a niece and nephew of McIntee’s. The children range in age from 3 to 10.

The situation grew more dire as overnight tempera-tures in Lovelock dipped to 16 below zero.

A cellphone forensics team analyzed which towers the group’s phone was in contact with during

their trip, giving searchers a better idea of where they might be, Hahn said. They were so far out in the wilderness that they apparently were unable to call for help.

Search volunteer Chris Montes said he and two rescuers with him fi rst spotted children’s footprints in the snow, then followed a set of Jeep tracks until they found the fl ipped vehicle and the family beside it.

“They just said that they knew somebody was going to fi nd them,” Montes said.

The discovery prompted a wave of relief on social media.

“Very glad to hear the missing family in Lovelock has been found and they are safe!” Gov. Brian Sandoval tweeted. “Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly to fi nd them!”

The Seven Troughs area is named for seven parallel canyons below Seven Trough Peak, elevation 7,474 feet. It is about 20 miles southeast of Black Rock Desert, where the annual Burning Man counterculture festival is held.

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors picked Mary Barra, its product development chief and a 33-year company veteran, as its next CEO. She will become the fi rst female head of a major U.S. car company.

GM said Tuesday that Barra, 51, will replace Dan Akerson on Jan. 15. Akerson, 65, chairman and CEO, moved up his retirement plans by several months because his wife, Karin, is battling an advanced form of cancer.

“I need to spend all my time and energy in fi ghting this disease with my wife,” Akerson said on a confer-ence call with reporters. Akerson had originally planned to stay into the spring or summer.

Since February 2011 Barra has held what many say is the most important job at GM — senior vice president for global product development. Barra, who joined GM in 1980, is currently in charge of design, engineering and quality for all of GM’s vehicles across the globe and has shepherded most of the company’s recent new vehicle introductions.

Under her command, GM rolled out brawny new full-size pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Chevrolet Impala full-size car, which earned the highest score for a sedan in testing by Consumer Reports magazine. Its quality scores also rose in surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. She also led development of the new Chevrolet Corvette and several new Cadillac models.

Akerson took over GM in September 2010, as the company prepared to go public about a year after emerging from bankruptcy protection. During his tenure GM has made billions of dollars in profi ts and is sitting on $26.8 billion in cash. Its profi t margins in North America are a healthy 9 percent. He and Barra

have revamped GM’s lineup of cars and trucks.

On Monday, GM offi cially shed the derisive moniker of “Government Motors” when the govern-ment sold the last of the GM shares it inherited as part of a bailout in 2008 and 2009.

But Barra still needs to trim GM’s costs and win over buyers in markets such as India and South America. One big step in getting there: producing more vehicles that can be sold in multiple markets, such as the Chevrolet Cruze compact car.

The choice of Barra was unanimous, Akerson said, because of her breadth of experience, management and people skills and her understanding of GM’s operations. The GM board considered only internal candidates.

“This is an executive who has a vision of where she wants to take the organi-zation,” he said, adding that Barra took over product development when it was in chaos not long after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection.

Akerson hinted at the move earlier this year when he told a women’s business group in Detroit that a “car gal” would run one of the Detroit Three automakers someday soon.

GM has fi rstwoman CEO

The General Motors’ board has named Mary Barra as the company’s next CEO.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. banks will be barred in most cases from trading for their own profi t under a federal rule approved Tuesday.

The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. each unanimously voted to adopt the so-called Volcker Rule, taking a major step toward preventing extreme risk-taking on Wall Street that helped trigger the 2008

fi nancial crisis.Three other regulators

were expected to follow suit Tuesday.

Congress instructed regulators to draft the rule under the 2010 fi nancial overhaul law.

The rule was agreed to after three years of drafts, debates and lobbying by Wall Street banks.

The fi nal version is stricter than many had expected and are intended

to prevent risky trading that required taxpayer-funded bailouts during the crisis. But the rule still provides some exemptions.

At its heart, the rule seeks to ban banks from almost all proprietary trading. The practice of trading for their own profi t has been very lucrative for big banks like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. The rule also limits banks’ investments in

hedge funds.Still, the fi nal version

allows proprietary trading when it is done to facilitate buying and selling invest-ment for customers. That is known as market-making.

Also exempted from the ban are cases when a bank underwrites a securities offering, and for trading in U.S. government, state and local bonds.

The other three agencies voting for the rule

include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Treasury Department’s Offi ce of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The largest U.S. banks — those with $50 billion or more in assets— will be required to fully comply with the terms of the rule by July 2015.

Other banks will have until 2016 to comply.

Rule approved to restrict high-risk trading

NEW YORK (AP) — It takes a long time to recover from a bad hangover, especially when you party like it’s 1999.

The Nasdaq Composite is up 35 percent this year, but while other major indexes like the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 have celebrated all-time highs again and again, the Nasdaq remains 20 percent below its dot-com peak of 5,048.62.

That’s a good thing because the biggest benefi -ciary of the late 90s internet mania was also its biggest victim. After cresting on March 10, 2000, the index lost nearly 80 percent of its value over the next two years, touching bottom on Oct. 9, 2002 at 1,114.11. The Dow fell 27 percent over the same period, and the S&P 500 dropped 44 percent.

Even as it soars faster than other indexes, the Nasdaq isn’t what it was.

While still tech-heavy, it’s more diverse, reason-ably valued and loaded with profi table companies, investors say.

“The Nasdaq is very different, in every measure-able, quantifi able way, than it was,” says Gavin Baker, who manages nearly $10 billion in assets for the Fidelity OTC fund.

Technology companies make up a smaller percentage of the index, roughly 42 percent, compared with 56 percent 13 years ago. The telecom industry is a little less than 2 percent, compared with 18 percent back then. And consumer-focused companies such as Amazon.com are a much bigger part of the index, making up 22 percent, compared with basically zero in March 2000.

The Nasdaq recently passed the 4,000 mark, a level last seen in September of 2000.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have to start taking insulin for my Type 2 diabetes. It sounds complicated. What do I need to know before I start?

DEAR READER: The fi rst thing you need to know is that it is simple to learn and do, and the discomfort is minimal. Tens of millions of people all over the world do it every day — and probably most of them were afraid that it would be complicated and painful before they actually started taking insulin.

Insulin is a natural hormone that lowers blood sugar in all of us. In people with diabetes, the body no longer can make enough insulin to keep the blood sugar level normal. Doctors usually recommend insulin for people with Type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise and pills cannot keep blood sugar levels low enough. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels more effectively than any other available diabetes drug.

Insulin can’t be taken as a pill; it must be taken by injection or with an insulin pump. (Insulin pumps are generally reserved for people

with Type 1 diabetes.) A diabetes educator will teach you how to measure, prepare and administer the injections.

The equipment available today makes injections virtually painless. The needles are very small; you barely feel them when they

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

It’s portable and discreet, and it provides multiple accurate doses without your needing to measure and fi ll syringes.

There are several formula-tions of insulin. They vary based on how quickly they start working, how long it takes for the insulin to peak and how long it remains active. Different types of insulin can be used alone or in combina-tion.

The type of insulin and how much and how often you use it varies from person to person. You’ll work with your doctor or diabetes educator to develop an individualized insulin program. Your goal is to maintain a blood sugar level that’s as close to normal as possible without having your blood sugar dip too low. Low blood sugar can have dangerous consequences of its own. If the sugar goes too low, you can become tired, confused and disoriented. You can even lose consciousness.

Your blood sugar level is affected both by what you eat and how much insulin you take. Most people on insulin or other diabetes medicines check their own blood sugar levels with simple home kits. The doctor may recommend adjust-ments in the dose of insulin based on these blood levels.

You’ll learn to manage your blood sugar by testing your blood once or twice a day to determine whether you need to adjust your insulin dose. You’ll use a glucose meter to do the testing; that’s standard equipment for most people with diabetes.

You can refrigerate insulin or store it at room tempera-ture. But don’t freeze it. Also, discard insulin that has expired or looks cloudy or otherwise strange.

DEAR ABBY: I’m consid-ering marrying a man who is divorced. We get along great, and I love and trust him. Is it ever appropriate to call the ex and discuss her side of the story? Or should I ask my boyfriend what she’d say if I were to contact her? — COVERING MY BASES IN CALIFORNIA DEAR COVERING YOUR BASES: If you call the ex, you can count on hearing something negative about your boyfriend or they wouldn’t be exes. Also, the things the ex might consider to be fl aws may be the qualities you love best about him. That you would say you love and trust your boyfriend, and in the next sentence indicate you’re considering a chat with his former wife, makes me wonder how deep your level of trust is. However, if your gut tells you to do some digging, then you should listen to it — even if it results in an

argument, which it probably will.

DEAR ABBY: I’m proud of my daughter, “Celia.” She has a master’s degree, a successful career and is soon to be married to a wonderful man. Through three moves my wife and I have cared

for our daughter’s one-ton-plus of “stuff,” which includes the big dollhouse her grandpa built, her doll collection, high school and college memorabilia, her diaries, dishes for her future home, etc. When she visited, I’d ask her to sort through the boxes and throw some things out.

Didn’t happen. My wife and I have downsized to a condo. The room that was supposed to be my “man cave” is half-fi lled with Celia’s things. It is TIME! Should I request that our daughter pay for storage, or rent a U-Haul so I can deliver a one-ton-plus “wedding gift”? — DISGRUNTLED DAD DEAR DAD: I can think of few things that would destroy the ambiance of a man cave more than a dollhouse. With a successful career, your daughter can afford to pay for a storage unit for her memorabilia. Set a date by which it must be out of your condo, with the understanding that if it isn’t, YOU will dispose of it.

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — More than 500 people have been killed over the past week in sectarian fi ghting in Central African Republic, aid offi cials said Tuesday, as France reported that gunmen fatally shot two of its soldiers who were part of the intervention to disarm thousands of rebels accused of attacking civilians.

Aid workers have collected 461 bodies across the capital of Bangui since Thursday, Antoine Mbao Bogo with the local Red Cross said. But that latest fi gure does not include the scores of Muslim victims whose bodies were brought to mosques for burial.

The government of the predominantly Christian country was overthrown in March by Muslim rebels from the country’s north. While the rebels claimed no religious motive for seizing power, months of resent-ment and hostility erupted last week in a wave of violence.

The French deaths came as French President Francois Hollande arrived for a visit to France’s former colony, heading into the tumultuous capital after attending a memorial in South Africa for Nelson Mandela.

The casualties underscore the volatility of the mission to disarm combatants and bring stability to a largely anarchic capital riven by sectarian violence.

A mob on Monday stoned to death a suspected enemy in the street, and armed fi ghters have abducted and killed hospital patients.

Tensions fl ared again Tuesday as a mob of young men set fi re to a mosque in the Fou neighborhood of the capital, Bangui. Smoke billowed from smoldering vehicles nearby, and young

men used pick axes and whatever tools they could fi nd to try to tear down the walls of the mosque.

Elsewhere, citizens killed three suspected ex-rebels in the Miskine neighborhood of Bangui after the men apparently fi red weapons at civilians, residents said.

France now has some 1,600 troops on the ground, patrolling neighborhoods and trying to disarm militants from the Seleka rebel movement that forced the president into exile and installed President Michel Djotodia as head of state.

Djotodia condemned the attack on French forces and blamed former leader Francois Bozize for creating the turmoil, saying his

supporters had set the stage for the current crisis.

“The current situation is the logical result of what former President Bozize set in motion by freeing prisoners and bandits, distributing weapons of war and machetes in the neighborhoods of Bangui, and inciting tribalism,” Djotodia said..

Bozize was overthrown after a decade in power and his current whereabouts are unknown. The former president maintains it was the arrival of thousands of rebels who descended upon the capital with arms who created the chaos.

The two French troops were part of a team inspecting a neighborhood just over a kilometer (less than a mile) east of Bangui’s

airport close to midnight Monday, in preparation for a disarmament operation, French military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron said in Paris.

Five to 10 gunmen opened fi re on the French patrol, which returned fi re, he said. Two Frenchmen were wounded and taken to the hospital where they died.

It was unclear whether anyone else died in the clash.

Jaron described “sporadic fi re” around Bangui and occasional clashes since the French disarmament efforts got under way Monday. France has described the program as a key part of its bid to stabilize Bangui, a city awash in weapons after years of rebellions and coups.

Death toll climbing in Africa

Suspected member of a Christian militia, Sincere Banyodi, 32, lays wounded by machete blows in the Kokoro neighborhood of Bangui, Central African Republic, Monday. Vigilante crowds said they spotted him

with grenades and turned him over to French forces. Both Christian and Muslim mobs went on lynching sprees as French Forces deployed in the capital.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to climate change, local offi cials have a message for Washington: Lead or get out of the way.

Local governments have long acted as fi rst responders in emergencies and now are working to plan for sea level rise, fl oods, hurricanes and other extreme events associ-ated with climate change.

As a presidential task force began its work Tuesday, local offi cials said they want and need federal support but worried that congressional gridlock and balky bureaucratic rules too often get in the way.

“Government, whether the White House or Congress, is not there to make you whole after a disaster,” said Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kan., which was leveled by a 2007 tornado.

Federal assistance was crucial after the tornado, which destroyed 95 percent of the town. But federal agencies “are there as a resource. You have to be engaged and involved if you really want your community to thrive afterwards,” Dixson said after a meeting of a White House task force on climate preparedness and resilience.

President Barack Obama appointed the task force last month to advise the adminis-tration on how to respond to severe storms, wildfi res, droughts and other events affected by climate change. All but four of the 26 task force members are Democrats.

The task force meeting occurred as the White

House announced that John Podesta, a former chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, will join Obama’s inner circle, focusing on energy and climate change issues.

Dixson, a task force member and a Republican, called climate resilience a key part of environmental stewardship. Neither issue should be partisan, he said, nor should it be left to the federal government.

“It has to come from the community level,” he said. “It can’t be an edict from the Beltway.”

Greensburg’s population has shrunk from about 1,500 people to 850 since the tornado, but Dixson said the town is thriving, even as it continues to recover.

Federal assistance also was crucial after a massive fl ood in Colorado in September destroyed nearly 2,000 homes, washed out hundreds of miles of roads and left many small mountain towns completely cut off. But even as cities and towns relied on the National Guard and other federal help in the storm’s immediate aftermath, local leaders said the disaster illustrated problems with a one-size-fi ts-all approach.

In Fort Collins, Colo., for instance, nearly three dozen federal agencies were involved in fi xing a road destroyed by a mudslide.

“Half said, ‘No, it can’t be fi xed,’” said Fort Collins Mayor Karen Weitkunat. “The other half said, ‘Go ahead, that’s a problem that needs to be resolved.’”

Local offi cialstake lead onpreparedness

WASHINGTON (AP) — Young American women are increasingly likely to receive pay nearly equal to their male counterparts, with earnings at 93 percent of men, a new study fi nds. Still, those women remain as pessimistic as their mothers and grandmothers regarding gender equality.

A report for release Wednesday by the Pew Research Center paints a mixed picture.

While women under 32 now have higher rates of college completion than men that age, the analysis of census and labor data shows their hourly earnings will slip further behind by

the women’s mid-30s, if the experience of the past three decades is a guide.

That widening gap is due in part to the many women who take time off or reduce their hours to start families. Other factors cited in the report are gender stereotyping, discrimina-tion, weaker professional networks and women’s hesitancy to aggres-sively push for raises and promotions, which together may account for 20 to 40 percent of the pay gap.

In all, 75 percent of women ages 18-32 say the U.S. needs to do more to bring about equality in the workplace, a percentage

similar to baby boomer women ages 49-67 and higher than other age groups. Some 57 percent of young men answered that way.

Even so, just 15 percent of young women say they have been discriminated against because of their gender.

“Today’s generation of young women is entering the labor force near parity with men in terms of earnings and extremely well prepared in terms of their educational attain-ment,” said Kim Parker, associate director with the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. “They feel empowered in many ways,

yet when they look at the workplace, they see it as a ‘man’s world’ with the deck stacked against them.”

“They think that men earn more than women for doing the same job and that it’s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for women,” she said.

Women are increasingly moving into higher career positions both in govern-ment and business. They make up nearly half the workforce, and the share of women in managerial and administrative occupa-tions is nearly equal to that of men — 15 percent compared to 17 percent. Another landmark came

Tuesday, when General Motors picked Mary Barra, a 33-year company veteran, as the fi rst female head of a major U.S. car company. Still, women currently hold just 4.5 percent of Fortune 1000 CEO positions, the Pew report said.

Andrew Cherlin, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University, attributed young women’s negative assessments about gender equality to their rising career expectations. “More doors are now open to women, but they can now see how far they are from equality in high-level jobs,” he said.

The near-equal pay for young women is being

driven in large part by their educational gains. Some 38 percent of women ages 25-32 now hold bachelor’s degrees, compared to 31 percent of young men. As a result, 49 percent of employed workers with at least a bachelor’s degree last year were women, up from 36 percent in 1980. That means more women in higher-skilled, higher-paying positions.

The current ratio of hourly earnings for young women to young men, now at 93 percent, is up from 67 percent in 1980 and is the highest in government records dating back to at least 1979.
