A sweet holiday treat Family distributes cookie baskets on Christmas Eve BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcnews.net

FREMONT — As part of a good deed with preparation beginning in October, a Fremont family braved Christmas Eve’s frigid temperatures to distribute brightly decorated cookie baskets to the less fortunate. Debra Giffin and her family gave out their sweet baskets as part of a family tradition of the last 18 years in different areas. In prior years, Giffin has distributed the cookie baskets in Angola, Garrett and Fort Wayne. This was the first time she distributed them in Fremont, her hometown. Some of the recipients were moved to tears by the Giffins’ generosity. Others hugged all the family members in gratitude. “I stand with you in (food pantry) lines,” Giffin told recipients. Giffin said she knows what it’s like to receive food from pantries. She has been there when she had a kidney transplant and needed help. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” Giffin said. “I’ve been in the place of needing.” The baskets contain cookies and fudge. Recipients are also given a coupon for milk at Fremont Village Foods. Giffin said it’s only natural since milk goes with

cookies. It’s also a staple Giffin said people never receive at food pantries. “We take a lot of time and care,” she said. “Baking starts in October and we fill three freezers with cookies. If you package the cookies in the freezer, it works well.” Giffin has kept a count of all the cookies and fudge she’s given away. “During baking this year, I hit my 40,000th cookie and 8,000th piece of fudge,” she said. “One of the things we sacrifice is our warmth. We package the cookies and put them in the freezer. We package them in the cold so the y

don’t thaw out.” Giffin has help with the cookie assembly line, decorating and distribution from her husband, Rick Giffin; Cassandra Kinney, a family friend; granddaughters Savannah and Hannah; and her sister-in-law, Mandy Sanderson. Debra said Rick usually sacrifices supper while the project is under way. “He paints baskets and financially, he’s the backer,” she said. “I started this as a bonding experience with Maggie (her daughter),” Debra said. “As time went on, we incorporated it into

The elections have produced a true system of checks and balances in the federal government, but those checks and balances have Stutzman created an atmosphere of contention, he said. “There is really a huge difference in philosophy,” Stutzman said. Stutzman did point to a pair of accomplishments that have come through, including this week’s House vote on a defense spending bill that would leave the A-10 Warthog Air Guard squadron operating out of its base in F ort Wayne. “The A-10 is a great machine for ground support,” Stutzman said. “I’m very optimistic the A10s are going to stay.” Stutzman said keeping Air Guard units viable not only provides jobs to the area, but is also a cost-effective option for

funding the country’s defense. Stutzman also has been heavily involved in the Veterans Administration Hospital in Fort Wayne. The hospital has had its share of problems, including some units being closed, but Stutzman has been spending a lot of time resolving issues to keep the hospital serving as many veterans as possible. He has taken his concerns to the VA, an agency that hasn’t always been as transparent as he would like, he said. “We’re pushing them to get better answers,” Stutzman said. Stutzman also said he is proud of his work with outgoing U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Indiana, on the farm bill that is still awaiting passage. According to the congressman, his office has helped constituents in 1,600 cases during the last tw o years, greasing the government wheels on such issues as Social Security and disability benefits. “We have a great staff that works hard on constituent services,” Stutzman said.

The National Weather Service is predicting a winter storm for Indiana, with the northeast Indiana area just catching the northernmost back edge of the event. Snow was forecast to begin late Christmas night and continue throughout the day Wednesday, the NWS is predicting. DeKalb County is under a winter storm warning, while LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties are under a less-threatening winter storm watch. A winter storm warning means significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice are expected or occurring. A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Snow accumulations of 5-7 inches are expected in the DeKalb County area, while LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties in the watch area could see 2-5 inches of snow by late Wednesday, the NWS said. “A half of a foot or more of snow will alone clog roads and severely disrupt travel and daily routines, but gusty winds will worsen the situation by blowing and drifting the snow around,” said Kristina Pydynowski, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, which provides weather information for KPC Media Group’s website, kpcnews.com. Because northeast Indiana is on the back edge of the storm, the severity of its impact is not completely known. “Some uncertainty still remains regarding the exact track of this storm, which will influence storm total accumulations,” the NWS said. Indianapolis is in a band that could receive up to a foot of sno w, Pydynowski said. DeKalb County is on the extreme western edge of this band. Northeast to north winds will

Trine to host part of The Stutzman reflects on year of gridlock Remnant collection BY MATT GETTS mattg@kpcnews.net

It was a year of contention in Washington, D.C. Republicans controlled the House of Representatives. Democrats controlled both the U.S. Senate and the White House. As the end result, other than a lot of saber-rattling, not much was accomplished, according to U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Howe. Stutzman spoke about the year that was in an interview this week, six weeks after he handily defeated Democratic challenger Kevin Boyd in the November general election. “Washington has not done a lot,” Stutzman said. “There are simply two different philosophies in Washington. There’s gridlock.” Stutzman pointed to the first election of Democrat Barack Obama as president in 2008. In 2010, voters gave control of the House of Representatives to Republicans. In the last November’s election, voters kept Obama as president, but also retained a conservative House of Representatives.

the family. It blossomed over the years from 25 baskets to 100 this year. Sixty of them will go to the food bank line and 40 others will go to needy families.� Debra said others in Fremont helped the family with the sweet project. Village Foods gave a discount on milk. Gay’s Hops-n-Schnapps let the Giffins use its parking lot for the distribution. Jim’s Rock Seawalls made a financial contribution. Debra’s parents, Jim and Ralene Sanderson, former Fremont residents, retired to Florida, helped with financing the endeavor. Cookie basket recipients

were thrilled with the Giffin family’s generosity. “It means a lot. I’m low income and on Social Security. When I’m done (paying bills) there’s not much left,� said Sandra Wickham, Angola. Deanne Barreto, Hamilton, received a basket and was accompanied by her niece, Katrina Johnson. Barreto said the baskets were beautiful and not what she expected, but far better. “I was surprised,� Barreto said. “I’m disabled and couldn’t even put up a Christmas tree. I didn’t expect it like this. I didn’t expect it to be so colored. I was expecting a box of cookies.�

“Fremont is one of the most giving communities,� Debra said. “Somehow, it’s provided when you’re the recipient of so much kindness. You feel an emptiness in your spirit. You want to give.� Debra said the reaction to the cookie baskets over the years has been overwhelmingly positive. “You’re outside of a box of turkey and corn. This is over and beyond what (recipients) need,� she said. “When we give in the name of our Lord and Savior, we need to give the best we have.� And their best meant a lot to those on the receiving end.

Official questions break for RV hall ELKHART (AP) — A city councilman said he has asked a state agency to review an agreement between Elkhart and the RV Hall of Fame. David Henke told the Elkhart Truth that he has sent a copy of the pact to the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance for review. He contends that the

agreement should have been approved by the city council rather than the city’s board of public works. RV Hall of Fame officials had stopped paying the city its compact fee for utility service several years ago, claiming it should be exempt due to its nonprofit status, the newspaper reported. Over the years, the hall accumulated a

$115,000 debt with the city. Under the deal negotiated by Mayor Dick Moore, the city forgave the debt and gave the hall a discounted rate on the compact fee in return for the hall’s agreement to resume making regular payments. Under the new deal, the hall will pay about half what it was billed before.

Trine program receives grant ANGOLA — The Schneider Foundation through PNC Charitable Trusts has awarded $50,000 for Trine University’s new doctoral program in physical therapy, making it the first gift for Trine’s first doctoral program. The grant will help Trine establish a professional doctorate in physical therapy program at Trine’s regional campus in Fort Wayne, where students are receiving both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Trine is partnering with Parkview Health System, and the program will be located on the Randallia campus. Clinical partnerships will include Parkview and Lutheran locations, as well as smaller hospitals in the region. To educate students, the professional doctorate program will bring together leaders in biomedical engineering, rehabilitative science, physical therapy and orthopedics to engage in multidisciplinary approaches to enhance the capability of the human body to recover and rehabilitate from orthopedic surgery and traumatic orthopedic injury. “Trine is eager to address the nation’s need for highereducated physical therapists and is grateful for the grant from PNC Charitable Trusts,� said Trine President Earl D. Brooks II. Trine plans to enroll the first cohort of students in fall 2014. Trine said the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 39 percent growth from 2010 to 2020 for physical therapists, which is much faster than the average for all occupations.

From head to toe, smoking harms the body Do you have any idea which smokingrelated disease is the number one cause of death among smokers? It is not lung cancer. Heart disease holds the top slot. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States today, and the leading cause of death among smok ers. And, on a global level, researchers report that there Cigarettes snuff out life were 1,690,000 at an alarming rate. premature deaths from Statistics tell us that cardiovascular disease upward of half of among smokers in long-term smokers will the year In die a smoking-related 2000. contrast, there were death. approximately 850,000 lung cancer deaths during the same year, and 118,000 COPD deaths from smoking in 2001, worldwide. Smoking is hard on the heart, b ut the fact is, tobacco use plays a role in a multitude of diseases that ultimately lead to disability and/or death. Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemical compounds; 200 of which are kno wn to be poisonous, and upwards of 60 have been identified as carcinogens. Let’s take a look at how cigarette smoke affects our bodies, from head to toe. You may be surprised at some of the ways smoking has a negative impact on our health. Hair: smell and staining Brain and mental effects: stroke, addiction/nicotine withdrawal, altered brain chemistry, anxiety about harm caused by smoking Eyes: eyes that sting, water and blink more, macular degeneration, cataracts Nose: less sense of smell Skin: wrinkles, premature aging Teeth: discoloration and stains, plaque, loose teeth, gum disease (gingivitis) Mouth and throat: cancers of the lips, mouth, throat and larynx, cancer of the esophagus, sore throat, reduced sense of taste, breath smells of smoke Hands: poor circulation (cold fingers), peripheral vascular disease, tar stained fingers Respiration and lungs: lung cancer, COPD (includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema), cough and sputum, shortness of breath, colds and flu, pneumonia, asthma, complicates tuberculosis Heart: harms, blocks and weakens arteries of the heart, heart attack Liver: cancer Abdomen: stomach and duodenal ulcers, cancer of stomach, pancreas and colon, aortic aneurysm Kidneys and bladder: kidney cancer, bladder cancer Bones: osteoporosis, spine and hip fractures Spine: degenerative disc disease Male reproduction: sperm deformity, sperm loss of motility, reduced number of sperm, infertility, impotence Female reproduction: period pains, earlier menopause, cancer of cervix, infertility and delay in conception Blood: leukemia Legs and feet: gangrene, peripheral vascular disease, Beurger disease Immune system: weakened immune system As long as this list of diseases kno wn to be associated with smoking is, it is incomplete. We don’t yet fully understand all of the dangers that cigarette smok e presents, but research continues, bringing us new discoveries seemingly by the day. One thing is certain: Cigarettes snuff out life at an alarming rate. Statistics tell us that upward of half of long-term smokers will die a smoking-related death. And globally, that presently translates to nearly 5 million deaths a year. Put another way, someone loses their life to smoking every 8 seconds somewhere in the world. If you smoke, use this information to help you see your smoking habit for what it is — a deadly addiction that you can live without. Should you make the decision to quit, simply call the Indiana Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUITNOW. It can be the beginning of a healthier life for you and those around you!

Letters to The Editor •

Don’t condemn me or my fellow gun owners To the editor: Here we go again with the f anatics and gun control. They seem to forget of how many laws that are on the books today and never enforced. The matter of the fact is like the CEO of the NRA states, the gun is a tool, and in the hands of a la w-abiding citizen that corresponds with law, it is just that “a tool.” It is used by someone for protection, hunting and pleasure. The gun kills, yes, but only by the hands of the person that is holding it, either by the la w enforcement officer, or by someone who shouldn’t be having a gun. The ones who usually are not allowed to have these guns either buy from others that are not to ha ve them either, or like the one in Connecticut steals it from someone who obeys the law and purchased it legally. I am a lifetime member of the NRA and retired with 25 years of the military. I don’t and won’t just go out and shoot someone. Why? It’s not right, and people that kno w the difference between right and wrong wouldn’t either. I do agree there are people that would, and with increased population there, it is getting harder than e ver on the law-abiding citizen to want and hold for a weapon for protection, hunting or just the pleasure of target practice. I also have a permit to carry, and I am proud of it because I at least went through the proper channels to obtain it. I agree we need protection in our schools, but locking them down won’t help. It didn’t in Connecticut. If necessary,

maybe the solution is trained, armed personnel such as teachers, officers or security guards. Countries like England and Australia are regretting losing the right to have arms, because the only ones that have them are the crooks and the police. The police can’t be everywhere, which is a proven fact, look at Ben Davis Ford when tires were taken off of brand-new cars. If a person legal to carry happened by, they could have been detained. Oh, yeah, we have insurance, but that still leaves the thieves out there to steal again. Everyone has their thoughts. Whether it’s right or not, it’s ours. And I don’t condemn people for their right to speak out, so don’t condemn me or my fellow gun owners, who might someday be the ones who save your life or that of a lo ved one of yours by a simple act of protecting a life.

Is it wrong for a lion to kill a gazelle? After all, aren’t we all just animals that are a little more highly evolved than lions? It’s simply survival of the fittest. America’s social engineers (e.g., John Dewey) have systematically expunged Christianity from our nation’s schools. Instead of being taught the Ten Commandments, students today are being taught that there are no such things as objective moral standards, and that the y themselves can decide what’s right and wrong.

My quiet time is interrupted by a 3-year-old who begins to make faces at me through the corridor window. I finally go out and confront this little elf. We, of course, do not speak each other’s language, but we chat for over an hour. We talk. We sing. I teach him how to count in English. He teaches me how to count in Hungarian. His mother laughs and so do I. Laughter is in all languages. The landscape is snowcovered forests, whitened fields and tiny villages. Occasionally there are children sledding or old folks walking streets. One man sweeps the railroad track with a broom. The journey ends at dusk as we carry satchels and bags up and down the steps at the train station. We don’t know how to buy tickets for the Metro and cannot find anyone who speaks English. I find myself under a metaphorical dome of glass. It is as if I have been invited on to a movie set … women in dark shawls, men with caps and cigarettes, a child carrying a handmade wooden sled, an old man carrying a bouquet of mistletoe tied with a red ribbon … these are the scenes I embrace.

Where to make tea? Where to write my thoughts and words in my journal, LOU ANN never to be forgotten? HOMAN- Christmas SAYLOR Eve morning it is gray, cold and sleeting in Budapest. We head outside to the markets knowing this is the last day for the 40 days of markets all over Europe. Today they close at 2 p.m. for Christmas Eve. I scurry through looking at trinkets such as handwoven towels, wooden tops, glass ornaments. Food is at every turn … potato dumplings, pork knuckle soup and hot raspberry schnapps along with the typical sausages and potatoes. The market begins to close. I am so glad I am able to mak e it to the last few hours. We leave. I do so reluctantly, but there is so much more to see on this day. We walk across the Chain Bridge which spans the Danube River.

We are always walking into ancient churches these days, and as we walk down by the Danube we stumble upon St. Anne’s Church. The doors of the church are open so we go in. There appears to be a flurry of acti vity so we stay, and soon realize there will be the Christmas pageant very soon. We take seats up close and by 3 p.m. there are hundreds in this church. There are so many children participating in the pageant, with others sitting on little pews brought out just for them. The church is magnificent from floor to ceiling and decorated with trees and lights. The pageant begins. It is the same story … the angels, the shepherds, the Wise Men, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, but I had never heard it told or sung in Hungarian. There are a few differences since the Wise Men actually wear gold-brocaded capes rather than bathrobes, and Mary sings several songs. She has the voice of an angel with a beautiful baby in her arms. When she sings “Angels We Have Heard on High” (in Hungarian) there isn’t another sound in the baroque church. We clap at the end of the pageant and make our way outside.

Syrian rebels make more gains in north BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels fully captured a northern town near the Turkish border on Tuesday after weeks of heavy fighting and attacked a regime air base in a neighboring province, activists said. The air base is in Aleppo province, where opposition fighters have already captured three other large military bases in recent months. Rebels have also laid siege to the international airport in the city of Aleppo, Syria’s commercial capital, and launched an offensive on the police academy near the city. With steady rebel gains across the north, President Bashar Assad’s regime is having increasing difficulty sending supplies by land to Aleppo province, especially after rebels cut a major thoroughfare from Damascus. It is just another sign that the opposition is consolidating its grip across large swathes of territory in northern Syria near the Turkish border.

Venezuala’s Chavez reportedly walking; doubts persist CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Vice President Nicolas Maduro surprised Venezuelans with a Christmas Eve announcement that President Hugo Chavez is up and walking two weeks after cancer surgery in Cuba, but the news did little to ease uncertainty surrounding the leader’s condition. Sounding giddy, Maduro told state television Venezolana de Television that he had spoken by phone with Chavez for 20 minutes Monday night. It was the first time a top Venezuelan government official had confirmed talking personally with Chavez since the Dec. 11 operation, his fourth cancer surgery since 2011. Chavez supporters reacted with relief, but the statement inspired more questions, given the sparse information the Venezuelan government has provided so far about the president’s cancer.

People • Ben Affleck won’t run for Senate seat BOSTON (AP) — Ben Affleck is taking his name off the list of possible candidates for U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s seat, which would be open if the Democratic senator from Affleck Massachusetts is confirmed as secretary of state. Affleck says in a Monday posting on his Facebook page that while he loves the political process, he will not be running for public office. Speculation about the Cambridge, Mass., native rose slightly when he did not completely rule out a Senate bid during an appearance on CBS’ Face The Nation on Sunday.

Jessica Simpson expecting again NEW YORK (AP) — Jessica Simpson’s daughter has the news all spelled out: “Big Sis.� Simpson on Tuesday tweeted a photo of her baby daughter Maxwell playing in the sand, the words “Big Sis� spelled out. The 32-year-old old singer and personality has been rumored to be expecting again. The tweet appears to confirm the rumors. “Merry Christmas from my family to yours� is the picture’s caption. Simpson used a tweet on Halloween in 2011 to announce she was pregnant with Maxwell. She is engaged to Eric Johnson and gave birth to Maxwell in May.

Gulf Coast storms blamed for one death Thunderstorms hit South while midsection deals with sleet, snow NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Christmas Day along the Gulf Coast was filled with severe thunderstorms that brought drenching rains, high winds and damaging tornadoes while the nation’s midsection dealt with freezing rain, sleet and snow that made for a sloppy and sometimes dangerous trek for holiday travelers. Winds toppled a tree onto a pickup truck in the Houston area, killing the driver. Icy roads already were blamed for a 21vehicle pileup in Oklahoma, where authorities warned would-be travelers to stay home. The National Weather Service tweeted that a tornado was headed toward downtown Mobile, Ala., and WALA posted on its website a photo from its tower cam of what looked like a funnel cloud moving toward the city. Near McNeill, Miss., in the southwestern part of the state, winds from a storm, possibly a tornado, damaged a dozen homes and injured several people, none seriously, said Pearl River County emergency management agency director Danny Manley. Trees fell on a few houses in central Louisiana’s Rapides Parish but there were no injuries reported and crews were cutting trees out of roadways to get to people in their homes, said sheriff’s Lt. Tommy Carnline. Fog blanketed highways, including arteries in the Atlanta area where motorists slowed as a precaution. In New Mexico, drivers across the eastern plains had to

fight through snow, ice and low visibility. At least three tornadoes were reported in Texas, though only one building was damaged, according to the National Weather Service. Tornado watches were in effect across southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Nearly 350 flights nationwide were canceled by the evening, according to the flight tracker FlightAware.com. More than half were canceled into and out of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport that got a few inches of snow. Christmas lights also were knocked out with more than 70,000 people without power in east Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. And in Louisiana, quarter-sized hail was reported early Tuesday in the western part of the state and a WDSU viewer sent a photo to the TV station of what appeared to be a waterspout around the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in New Orleans. There were no reports of crashes or damage. Meanwhile, blizzard conditions were possible for parts of Illinois, Indiana and western Kentucky with predictions of 4 to 7 inches of snow. Much of Oklahoma and Arkansas braced under a winter storm warning of an early mix of rain and sleet forecast to eventually turn to snow. About a dozen counties in Missouri were under a blizzard warning from Tuesday night to noon Wednesday.

TV-lovers bid pair of actors ‘farewell’ Jack Klugman, Charles Durning die BY FRAZER MOORE The Associated Press

What a couple of mugs, sporting less-than-perfect physiques in the bargain. But was there anything lovelier than Jack Klugman or Charles Klugman Durning doing what they did for an audience? Rumpled Klugman exploding at his prissy flat-mate Tony Durning Randall in the long-running sitcom “The Odd Couple.� Portly Durning hoofing, fleet of foot, and singing how “Ewwwww, I love to do a little sidestep� in the film “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.� Each was a luminous display of the extraordinary possibilities of the ordinary. Klugman and Durning (both of whom died Monday, Klugman at 90 in Los Angeles, Durning at 89 in New York) spent storied careers building catalogues of roles that classed them indisputably as “character actors.� Even with a certain “always-a-bridesmaid-nevera-bride� taint attached to it, the term “character actor� commands respect and affection among audiences, even audience members who may not quite realize their level of investment in such artistry. Traditional stardom — “leading man� status — is conferred on the actors who embody a fantasy, an ideal.

They are famously out of reach of a ticket holder or a couch potato, other than through sitting back and watching from afar. Dreams are a powerful engine of Hollywood, and these actors — whether Clark Gable or Will Smith — are thrilling dream agents. But there’s another breed of actor — the group in which Klugman and Durning reign supreme — who sustains us in more comfortable ways. If a star like Brad Pitt stirs the frisson of eternal longing in the audience (oh, to be with him, or be him!), a character actor serves another need: cinematic kinship. Klugman solving crimes as a lab geek on his series “Quincy, M.E.,� or Durning as a stressed-out cop (“Dog Day Afternoon�) or a romantic who’s smitten with Dustin Hoffman in drag (“Tootsie�) — these are actors we identify with, instantly and eagerly. Nothing seems to stand between us and what they do. They, with their justcoping-with-life heroics, show us who we are, or could be if we try a little harder (or warn us of the jam that might befall us if we don’t). They are our proxies. They never go out of style. They never lose their appeal. They are never put away because their looks have faded or their waistline thickened. We stick with them, just as they stick with us. (Durning was working into his late 80s in a recurring role as the irascible father of Denis Leary’s firefighter protagonist on the drama “Rescue Me�). In this way, too, they resemble everybody we truly love: We love them in every phase of their lives.

City and To The World) message from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican Tuesday.

In this photo provided by Vatican paper L’Osservatore Romano, Pope Benedict XVI delivers his “Urbi et Orbi� (To The

Pope talks world politics on holiday VATICAN CITY (AP) — In his Christmas message to the world Tuesday, Pope Benedict XVI called for an end to the slaughter in Syria and for more meaningful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, while encouraging more religious freedom under China’s new leaders. Delivering the traditional speech from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Benedict also encouraged Arab spring nations, especially Egypt, to build just and respectful societies.

The pope prayed that China’s new leadership may “esteem the contribution of the religions, in respect for each other� to help build a “fraternal society for the benefit of that Pope Benedict XVI noble people.� It was a clear reference to the Chinese government’s often harsh treatment of Catholics loyal

to the pontiff instead of to the state-sanctioned church. Earlier this month, the Vatican refused to accept the decision by Chinese authorities to revoke the title of a Shanghai bishop, who had been appointed in a rare show of consensus between the Holy See and China. As the 85-year-old pontiff, bundled up in an ermine-trimmed red cape, gingerly stepped foot on the balcony, the pilgrims, tourists and Romans below backing St. Peter’s Square erupted in cheers.

Red Cross offers holiday safety tips FORT WAYNE — While people in Northeast Indiana are finalizing plans for holiday events and travel, the American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana has tips to help prevent accidents and emergencies.

Holiday decorations and parties • Even though Christmas has passed, water the tree daily. • Don’t overload electrical outlets and unplug holiday lights before leaving home or going to bed. • Keep candles away from combustible materials and in a place where children and pets can’t get to them. • Pick a designated driver when attending a party and provide non-alcoholic beverage options if hosting

a party. • Keep children and pets away from the stove; turn pot handles in; and turn off burners if leaving the kitchen.

Holiday travel • Make sure vehicles are in good working order before holiday trips. This includes checking tire air pressure and windshield fluid, and cleaning lights and windows. • Equip vehicles with an emergency preparedness kit with water, snacks, flashlight, first aid kit and blankets. • Check weather and road conditions before traveling. • Share travel plans including intended route and estimated arrival time with someone.

increase up to 25 mph early Wednesday with gusts up to 35 mph late Wednesday, the NWS said. Because of the uncertainty expected with this storm, people resuming holiday travel are advised to keep informed of weather conditions. Mary Foster, spokeswoman for the Indiana Department of Transportation, Fort Wayne District, said crews started preparing for the storm on Monday. “Crews have already begun pretreating bridges and roadways with salt brine, an anti-icing solution. INDOT will continue to monitor multiple developing forecasts, as well as a statewide network of road and bridge pavement sensors, to deploy the needed personnel, equipment and materials ahead of any predicted accumulation. INDOT’s top winter priority is to plow and treat its more

than 30,000 lane miles of interstates, U.S. highways and state routes,” she said in a news release issued late Monday. State government offices are expected to be open today. However, where snow emergencies have been declared non-essential employees will not be required to report to work where roads are open only to official vehicles, said Jane Jankowski, spokeswoman for Gov. Mitch Daniels. This is effective statewide. Each agency has operational plans for emergency situations and necessary personnel. Indiana Department of Homeland Security spokesman Ian Connor said the state emergency operations center would help coordinate counties’ storm response, shifting police or firefighters to areas where they were most needed, the Associated Press reported.

Deaths & Funerals •

John Hammel ANGOLA — John F. Hammel, 86, passed away on December 22, 2012 in Lakeland Nursing Home. John was born on December 13, 1926 in Monon, Indiana. He spent his youth there with his parents Emma and H Hanly Hammel and his six siblings. He married Norma Lee Myers of Francesville, Indiana, on June 15, 1947. After completion of his Army duties and his teaching degree from Indiana University, he spent his entire career and life in Angola. He retired from the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County in 1990 after 43 years. John is remembered as an animated and demanding math teacher; outstanding coach of football, baseball, and basketball; and as the Principal of Angola High School from 1963 to 1970. He was appointed to the Angola Planning Commission, participated in the police reserves and proudly served on the Indiana High School Athletic Board of Control. John was a member of the American Legion and Angola Masonic Lodge. He was a recipient of the Sagamore of the Wabash honor as well as an inductee into the Angola High School Athletic Hall of Fame and the IHSAA Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. He loved working in his garden and all of nature. He was an avid sports fan of nearly every sport — the Chicago Cubs and Indiana Hoosiers have truly lost an ardent fan. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Norma, as well as four children, Dr. John Hammel, Mary and Gene Tierney, Sally Hammel and Dan and Susie Hammel.

John took pride in his 9 grandchildren: Alyssa, Anne, Michael, Patrick, Ben, Molly, Erin, Ellen, Chad and one great grandson, Ozzy. Also surviving are his siblings, H Hanly Hammel, Jim Hammel, Helen Kraack, Ruth Chowning and Nancy Fendley. He was preceded in death by his brother, Dr. Howard T. Hammel. Private graveside services will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the Angola High School Athletic Department in his name. A celebration of life for John will be held on Saturday, December 29th from 1 – 4 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 2005 N. Wayne Street, Angola, Indiana 46703. You may sign the guestbook at www.weicht1854.com. Arrangements handled by the Weicht Funeral Home, Angola, Indiana.

At the age of 36, he furthered his education, and earned a Juris Doctor degree from the Ohio Northern University College of Law. He was a member of both the DeKalb County Bar and Indiana State Bar Associations, and practiced criminal and family law in Auburn, Indiana, for 41 years, retiring in November 2012.

Cavs to be without Varejao tonight CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao will miss his fourth straight game because of a bruised right knee. The Cavs said Varejao won’t travel with them to Washington for tonight’s game against the Wizards. Varejao, who leads the NBA in rebounding, wasn’t with the Cavs on Saturday when they snapped a six-game losing streak with a win in Milwaukee. He stayed in Cleveland to receive additional treatment, and the Cavs had hoped the extra rest would help him return this week. Varejao injured his knee last week against Toronto. The 6-foot-11 Brazilian has been replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Tyler Zeller.

Heat take Finals rematch MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James finished with 29 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 21, and the Miami Heat survived a frantic finish to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-97 in an NBA Finals rematch on Tuesday. Mario Chalmers scored a season-high 20 for the Heat, who matched the franchise’s best 25-game start at 19-6. Chris Bosh added 16 for Miami, which has beaten the Thunder five straight times going back to last June’s title series. Kevin Durant scored 33 points and Russell Westbrook added 21 for Oklahoma City, but both Thunder stars missed potentially game-tying 3point attempts in the final seconds. Serge Ibaka and Kevin Martin each added 15 for the Thunder, who have dropped two straight for the first time this season. The Heat went 19 for 19 from the foul line, the second-best effort in franchise history. They were 30 for 30 at Boston on March 24, 1993. And it was a wild finals rematch — one that lived up to expectations.

seconds remaining. Needing a stop on the next trip, the Thunder forgot to play defense instead. Kendrick Perkins and Ibaka both were confused on the ensuing Miami possession, and Bosh was left alone to take a pass from James and throw down a dunk that restored Miami’s threepoint edge. Oklahoma City got within one when Durant made a jumper over James, but no closer. Ray Allen’s two free throws with 15.6 seconds left made it 100-97, and Miami’s last three points came from the line after a Thunder foul and Westbrook getting hit with a technical for punching a table after arguing that he was fouled on his 3-point try in the final moments. While the stars were stars, the Heat got help from one unexpected source. Chalmers was making everything, even unintended plays. Allen lost possession on what looked to be a pass to no one, but Chalmers picked up the bouncing ball on the right wing, whirled and made a 3-pointer — putting Miami up 86-79 with 8:14 left.

Lakers win 5th straight Rockets roll in Chicago LOS ANGELES (AP) — The pieces of the puzzle that have been the Lakers’ confounding season so far are starting to fall into place. Kobe Bryant engineered a second-half comeback, the defense stepped up, and Los Angeles beat the New York Knicks 100-94 on Tuesday, extending its winning streak to five games. “We’re .500,” a smiling Dwight Howard said. “We did it on Christmas, too. I knew this day would come.” Bryant scored 34 points in his NBA-record 15th Christmas Day game and Metta World Peace added 20 points and seven rebounds while defending Carmelo Anthony, whose 34 points led the Knicks. Anthony said he hyperextended his left knee, but expects to play on Wednesday in Phoenix. Bryant, the league’s leading scorer, has topped 30 or more points in nine straight games. “If you’re going to play on Christmas, it’s always better to win. Makes it all worthwhile,” said Bryant, who would soon hop a flight to Denver, getting there ahead of the

Nuggets, who played the Clippers in the other half of the holiday doubleheader at Staples Center. The Lakers improved to 14-14 — 9-9 under new coach Mike D’Antoni — and upped their holiday record to 21-18, including 13-9 at home. They returned to .500 for the first time since they were 8-8 on Nov. 30. “It’s so early in the season to have turned a corner,” Bryant said. “We have everybody in the lineup and we’re starting to see how we want to play.” The Knicks controlled most of the game behind Anthony and J.R. Smith, who had 24 points. But they struggled offensively in the fourth, when Anthony was limited to seven points and Smith had five as the Lakers’ defense clamped down. World Peace fouled out with 1:58 to play and the Lakers ahead by four. World Peace credited his defense on Anthony to “old-school basketball.” “I’m back in shape and it’s a little tough to guard me,” he said. Steve Nash said: “This is what he’s been doing all year. He gets his hands on a lot of balls, pounds on the other team’s best guy.

Rondo, hurt in the first meeting and thrown out of the second after shoving Nets forward Kris Humphries into the courtside seats, outplayed counterpart Deron Williams and helped the Celtics take control early. Gerald Wallace and Brook Lopez each scored 15 for the Nets.

CHICAGO (AP) — James Harden scored 26 points and Jeremy Lin added 20 points and 11 assists to lead the Houston Rockets to a 120-97 win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. Omer Asik returned to the United Center and had a doubledouble with 20 points and 18 rebounds in his first trip back to Chicago since signing with the Rockets in the offseason. The Rockets starters all scored in double figures. Chandler Parsons added 23 points. Houston has won six of seven. The Rockets had been just 3-7 on the road entering Tuesday, but a strong second quarter turned the holiday matchup into a blowout. The Rockets outscored the Bulls 31-19 in the period to break the game open. Lin capped a 14-2 run midway through the quarter with a drive and a layup to make it 55-34. He scored 12 in the second quarter and Harden had 13. Houston led 58-41 at halftime. Nate Robinson led the Bulls with 27 points. Houston entered the game tops in the league in scoring at 105.4 points per game.

Comeback stories fill NFL DENVER (AP) — From Peyton Manning overcoming four neck surgeries to Adrian Peterson’s rebound from a shredded knee to Chuck Pagano’s fight with leukemia, this has been the Year of the Comeback in the NFL. A season besmirched by tragedies, replacement officials and a bounty scandal also will go down as one in which some of the game’s greats not only regained their old form but somehow surpassed it. There are always feelgood stories about those who overcome long odds and broken bodies to regain at least a sliver of their past glory. This season provided an abundance of them. When the season started, who could have expected Manning to recapture his

MVP play so quickly with a new team? Or for Peterson to come back less than nine months after shredding his left knee. Or for Jamaal Charles to return better than ever after suffering a similar injury. Then there’s Pagano beating the biggest opponent of his life. A year ago, Manning was in the midst of four neck operations to fix a nerve injury that had caused his right arm to atrophy and had sidelined him for an entire season. Soon, he would say a tearful farewell to Indianapolis, a city he’d put back on the NFL map, and hook up with John Elway in Denver. Peterson’s left knee was still swollen after he’d shredded it on Christmas Eve, an injury similar to

the one Charles suffered earlier last season. Yet both would defy medicine and conventional wisdom alike to rebound as better runners than they were before getting hurt. Pagano’s fight started three months ago when it was disclosed he had cancer, forcing the firstyear Colts coach to take time off for chemotherapy treatments. He returned to work this week, taking the reins from assistant Bruce Arians, who guided the team to a surprising playoff berth in his absence. “When I asked for Bruce to take over, I asked for him to kick some you-knowwhat and to do great. Damn Bruce, you had to go and win nine games?” Pagano said. “Tough act to follow.”

WKU, CMU to meet in Pizza Bowl DETROIT (AP) — Before the Bobby Petrino era begins at Western Kentucky, there’s a bowl game to play — the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl against Central Michigan. The game at Ford Field tonight is in Detroit, not far from the campus of the Chippewas (6-6). The Hilltoppers (7-5) will be run by interim coach Lance Guidry. Petrino’s hiring has almost overshadowed the play of the Hilltoppers. They are in their first bowl since becoming a top-tier college football school in 2009. Petrino is returning to coaching less than a year after he was dismissed at Arkansas. He had hired his former mistress to work in the Razorbacks’ football department. Guidry, who was the team’s defensive coordinator, says his players are ready. “These kids are really hungry,� Guidry said. “Really been having some great practices, although they’ve been going through a lot of

different things with the head coaches.� Guidry was appointed interim coach Dec. 8, a day after Willie Taggart left to coach South Florida. Two days later, Western Kentucky hired Petrino to be Taggart’s full-time replacement in a stunning move that didn’t seem to shake up the players much because familiar faces were still around. “Even though Coach Taggart is gone, the coaches are still here with us,� Western Kentucky junior running back Antonio Andrews said. “They’ve been here since Day One.� Dan Enos has been leading the Chippewas since 2010. Enos was hired soon after Central Michigan played in and won its last postseason game, beating Troy in the GMAC Bowl with a team put together by former coach Butch Jones, who is now coaching at Tennessee. Central Michigan won its last three games this year to be eligible for a bowl.

Sycamores rally past Miami HONOLULU (AP) — Jake Odum banked in a 15footer with eight-tenths of a second left in overtime to rally Indiana State to a 5755 win over Miami Tuesday in the third-place game of the Diamond Head Classic. Manny Arop and R.J. Mahurin scored 13 points apiece for the Sycamores (74), who trailed by as many as nine points and who shot just 27 percent from the field. Arop made two free throws to tie it at 55 with 1:03 left in overtime, and after Miami’s Kenny Kadji missed a shot, Indiana State got the ball and called timeout with 29.3 seconds left. Odum received the ensuing inbounds pass and held the ball until 5 seconds remained. He started to his right, pump-faked near the free-throw line and hit what became the game-winning shot. Kadji led the Hurricanes (8-3) with 13 points.

COMEBACK: Remarkable recovery made by former Colt Manning FROM PAGE B1

If all goes well at practice this week, Pagano will be on the sideline for the regularseason finale against Houston. That’s a final tuneup for the AFC wildcard playoffs that nobody saw coming for the Colts so soon after cutting ties with Manning, who switched teams, coaches, cities and colors and didn’t miss a beat in 2012. Despite a new supporting cast and a 36-year-old body he insists continues to confound him, the quintessential quarterback has had one of the best seasons in his storied career. Manning set franchise or NFL records just about every week while completing 68 percent of his passes for 4,355 yards with 34 TDs and just 11 interceptions.

And yet, he insists he’s not anything close to what he used to be, that all he can do is maximize what’s left in a body that’s been slowed by so many surgeons’ scalpels, and trips around the sun. “I know you don’t believe me when I say this; I’m still learning about myself physically and what I can do, it’s still the truth,� Manning said after guiding Denver to its 10th straight win. “I still have things that are harder than they used to be, so (there’s) things I have to work on from a rehab standpoint and a strength standpoint. That’s just the way it is and maybe that’s the way it’s going to be from here on out, I don’t know.� Maybe Manning’s being modest, maybe he’s suckering opponents into blitzing him more often so

he can burn them again. Either way, it’s a remarkable rebound for a man whose right arm was so weakened after one of his neck surgeries that he could hardly throw the football 15 yards. Long before Manning ever dreamed he’d be wearing the orange-mane mustang on his helmet instead of the blue and white horseshoe, Manning met up with college buddy Todd Helton of the Colorado Rockies for a workout during last year’s NFL lockout. They retreated to an indoor batting cage at Coors Field with a trainer in tow, and Manning’s first pass nosedived so badly that Helton told him to quit goofing around. Manning wasn’t messing with him. He was dead serious. His arm was shot,

his future in football in doubt. A few days later, he underwent spinal fusion surgery and would miss the entire 2011 season. If doctors had told him that was it, Manning said he would have called it a career without regret. But they gave him a bit of hope and that’s all he needed to embark on his comeback in Colorado. Coach John Fox, never one to lobby for awards, suggested this week that Manning deserves a fifth MVP honor for the numbers he’s put up, the obstacles he’s overcome, the shift of culture he’s engineered. Manning isn’t interested in talking about MVPs or comeback awards. He just wants enough wins to get a shot at hoisting another Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans in six weeks.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Virus delays Nadal’s return MADRID (AP) — Rafael Nadal’s return to competition has been delayed by a stomach virus. The Spaniard was scheduled to play in an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi on Thursday after missing seven months because of tendinitis in his left knee. But he said on his Facebook page Tuesday that his doctors ordered him to pull out when he was running a fever, telling him his body needed rest. Nadal “My rehab has gone well, my knee feels good and I was looking forward to competing,” he said. The 11-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t played since June, when he lost to 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol in the second round at Wimbledon. The injury prevented Nadal from defending his Olympic singles gold at the Olympics in London, where he was supposed to be Spain’s flag bearer at the opening ceremony. He also had to pull out of the U.S. Open and Spain’s Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic, which his teammates lost without him. Top-ranked Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Andy Murray were also scheduled to play at Abu Dhabi.

Pro grid career for Michigan’s Denard Robinson unclear ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Denard Robinson’s position is a secret for the f inal game of his college career. It perhaps provides a preview of his unclear future in football. The three-year starting quarterback might not throw for No. 19 Michigan against No. 11 South Carolina on Ne w Year’s Day at the Outback Bowl. He probably will catch some passes, lining up as a running back or receiver. Robinson hopes showing that he can make plays without taking snaps will help NFL teams see what he can do. “If you’re making plays on the field, you can’t hide that,” Robinson said earlier this month before the Wolverines traveled to Florida. “You can’t hide a playmaker.” Some project Robinson as a receiver in the pros. NFL draft consultant and former Dallas Cowboys general manager Gil Brandt has another idea. “I’d draft him to be a cornerback,” Brandt said. “A quarterback never wants to be told he’s going to have to play another position, but I don’t think he can play quarterback in the NFL. I do kno w teams are always looking for cornerbacks, and I think Robinson could do it because of his quickness and speed. “But he’d have to want to do it to make it work.” Robinson has declined to say much about what position he wants to attempt to play at the next level, saying he just wants to enjoy his senior season. Nerve damage in his right elbow knocked him off the field Oct. 27 at Nebraska, keeping him out for the next two games and limiting his ability to throw in the final two games of the regular season. Michigan moved him to running back and also had him take snaps without throwing a pass against Iowa and Ohio State, games in which he had 23 carries for 220 yards and a score and tw o receptions for 24 yards. The Gamecocks are preparing for Robinson to play up to his spectacular potential. “He’s the best athlete that we’ll play at quarterback,” said South Carolina defensive line coach Brad Lawing, a former Michigan State assistant. “He’s a tremendous athlete and he can throw the ball. And if he’s healthy throwing the ball, he can cause us some problems, and we know that.”

Cincy picks up former Buckeye CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals have acquired wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher on waivers from the Chicago Bears and placed first-round draft pick Dre Kirkpatrick on injured reserve. Sanzenbacher was released this week by the Bears and was picked up Tuesday by the Bengals. He played in f ive games with one catch for 7 yards this season. Kirkpatrick, the 17th overall selection in the 2012 draft, has been sidelined with a knee injury. He played in five games this season, with two tackles on defense and two on special teams.

Andruw Jones arrested DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — Former Atlanta Braves star center fielder Andruw Jones was free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday on a battery charge, according to jail records. Around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call for a domestic dispute between Jones and his wife in Duluth. Gwinnett County Detention Center records say Jones was booked into the jail around 3:45 a.m. and had been released on $2,400 bond by 11 a.m. Once one of the premier players in the big leagues, Jones broke into the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1996 and won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1998-07 as their center fielder. He has 434 career home runs over the span of 17 seasons in the majors. Jones earlier this month signed a $3.5 million, one-year contract with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan’s Pacific League.

Man’s love for sexy lips turns off wife

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

DEAR ABBY: Please help save my marriage. My wife of five years discovered an Internet browser history of 13 Web pages I had clicked on the previous day. The pages were of women’s sexy lips. My wife is calling it ‘‘porn’’ and a ‘‘gateway to porn.’’ I feel guilty about it, but I told her it isn’t pornography. I think it’s a fetish. She says I’m using that word to get off the hook. Will you please tell her that this probably is a fetish? Our sex life has not been the same since she discovered the images on the computer. What can we do about it in a way that will strengthen our marriage? — NOT GUILTY AS CHARGED DEAR NOT GUILTY: It’s a shame you and your wife hadn’t discussed what turns you on before she checked your browser history. A fetish is any object that turns someone on, and it

Testing and correcting hearing has improved The evaluation is done by a hearing specialist, or audiologist, in a specially constructed booth that shuts out all unwanted noise. It tests the different parts of the ear that are necessary for hearing: • puretone test. Each of your ears, in turn, is exposed to sounds of ASK different DOCTOR K. frequencies and decibel levels. is Dr. Anthony (Frequency the pitch of a Komaroff sound. A decibel is the measurement of the loudness of a sound.) The pure-tone test identifies the quietest tones that you can hear at different frequencies. • bone-conduction test.

•

This test helps establish whether your hearing loss is primarily sensorineural (caused by damage to the cochlea, hair cells or auditory nerve) or conductive (caused by a blockage of sound transmission through your outer or middle ear), or a combination of the two. This test will also help determine whether your hearing loss can be medically corrected. Two additional tests will evaluate how well you hear and understand spoken words: • speech reception threshold test. You will hear words, instead of tones, through your earphones. The words start out loud and gradually get softer. The test identifies the decibel level at which you can understand and repeat only half of the words. • speech discrimination test. With age, many people can hear words loudly but not clearly. A speech

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m losing my hearing so my doctor has scheduled an audiological evaluation. What will this evaluation tell me? DEAR READER: An audiological evaluation identifies the severity of your hearing loss and the frequency range in which it occurs. This information may help identify the cause of your hearing loss. It’s also essential for determining whether you could benefit from a hearing aid and, if so, which style and type would help the most. When a sound wave enters your ear, it hits the eardrum. Several tiny bones transmit sound waves from the eardrum through fluid, into the inner ear. There lies a snail-shaped organ called the cochlea that is covered with tiny hairs. These hairs generate electrical signals that travel along the hearing nerve (the auditory nerve) to the brain.

can range from large breasts, to stiletto heels, to leather or rubber items of clothing, to full red lips. It is NOT pornography. A way to strengthen your marriage would be for you to buy her a tube of DEAR bright red lipstick. And ABBY a way for her to improve Jeanne Phillips your sex life would be to put it on.

discrimination test assesses how well you understand words. A high score on this test means that you are likely to benefit from a hearing aid. That’s because your problem in under-standing a spoken word comes from not hearing the word loudly enough, and a hearing aid can amplify the loudness of sounds. Today’s technology for testing your hearing has improved greatly since I was in medical school. Even greater advances have been made in hearing aids. They not only work better but they’ve also become tiny — people often don’t notice you have one. For many of my patients, hearing tests followed by the right hearing aid has greatly improved the quality of their lives. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Man who allegedly killed firemen left note Egypt constitution WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) — The ex-con who lured two firefighters to their deaths in a blaze of gunfire left a rambling typewritten note saying he wanted to burn down the neighborSpengler hood and “do what I like doing best, killing people,” police said Tuesday as they recovered burned human remains believed to be the gunman’s missing sister. Police Chief Gerald Pickering said 62-year-old William Spengler, who served 17 years in prison for the 1980 hammer slaying of his grandmother, armed himself with a revolver, a shotgun and a military-style rifle before he set his house afire to lure first responders into a death trap before dawn on Christmas Eve. “He was equipped to go to war, kill innocent people,” Pickering said. The rifle he had was a military-style .223-caliber semiautomatic Bushmaster rifle with flash suppression, the same make and caliber weapon used in the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., Pickering said. The chief said police

believe the firefighters were hit with shots from the rifle given the distance but the investigation was incomplete. Pickering declined to divulge the full content of the two- to three-page note left by Spengler or say where it was found, but read one line from it: “I still have to get ready to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down, and do what I like doing best, killing people.” The human remains were found in the charred house that Spengler shared with his 67-year-old sister, Cheryl. A medical examiner will need to determine the identity and cause of death because the body is badly burned. Spengler killed himself as seven houses burned around him Monday on a narrow spit of land along Lake Ontario in this suburb of Rochester. A friend said Spengler hated his sister but the chief said the note left by him did not give a motive. No other bodies were found, and police late Tuesday said the on-scene investigation had been completed. Two firefighters were shot dead in the ambush and two others are hospitalized in stable condition. Spengler fired at the four firefighters when they arrived shortly after 5:30

a.m. Monday to put out the fire, Pickering said. The first police officer who arrived chased the gunman and exchanged shots. Authorities said Spengler hadn’t done anything to bring himself to their attention since his parole. As a convicted felon, he wasn’t allowed to possess weapons. Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said Spengler led a very quiet life after he got out of prison. A friend, Roger Vercruysse, lived next door to Spengler and recalled a man who doted on his mother, whose obituary suggested contributions to the West Webster Fire Department. “He loved his mama to death,” said Vercruysse, who last saw his friend about six months ago. Vercruysse also said Spengler “couldn’t stand his sister” and “stayed on one side of the house and she stayed on the other.” The West Webster Fire District learned of the fire after a report of a car and house on fire on Lake Road, on a narrow peninsula where Irondequoit Bay meets Lake Ontario, Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn said. Emergency radio communications capture someone saying he “could

see the muzzle flash coming at me” as Spengler carried out his ambush. The audio posted on the website RadioReference.com has someone reporting “firefighters are down” and saying “got to be rifle or shotgun - high powered … semi or fully auto.” Two of the firefighters arrived on a fire engine and two in their own vehicles, Pickering said. After Spengler fired, one of the wounded men fled, but the other three couldn’t because of flying gunfire. The police officer who exchanged gunfire with Spengler “in all likelihood saved many lives,” Pickering said. The dead men were identified as police Lt. Michael Chiapperini, 43, the Webster Police Department’s public information officer; and 19-year-old Tomasz Kaczowka, also a 911 dispatcher.

passes; crunch looms CAIRO (AP) — The official approval of Egypt’s disputed, Islamist-backed constitution Tuesday held out little hope of stabilizing the country after two years of turmoil and Islamist President Mohammed Morsi may now face a more immediate crisis with the economy falling deeper into distress. In a clear sign of anxiety over the economy, the turbulence of the past month and expected austerity measures ahead have some Egyptians hoarding dollars for fear the currency is about to take a significant turn for the weaker. The battle over the constitution left Egypt deeply polarized at a time when the government is increasingly cash-strapped. Supporters of the charter campaigned for it on the grounds that it will lead to stability, improve the grip of Morsi and his allies on state institutions, restore investor confidence and bring back tourists. “In times of change, politics are the driver of the economy and not the other way around,” said Mourad Aly, a media adviser for the political arm of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, the backbone

Fax 260-347-7282

of Morsi’s presidency and the main group that backed the constitution. But there are already multiple fights on the horizon. The U.S. State Department bluntly told Morsi it was now time to make compromises, acknowledging deep concerns over the constitution. “President Morsi, as the democratically elected leader of Egypt, has a special responsibility to move forward in a way that recognizes the urgent need to bridge divisions, build trust, and broaden support for the political process,” said Patrick Ventrell, acting deputy spokesman. “We hope those Egyptians disappointed by the result will seek more and deeper engagement. “ He said Egypt “needs a strong, inclusive government to meet its many challenges.” After a spate of resignations of senior aides and advisers during the constitutional crisis, Morsi appeared to have lost another member of his government late Tuesday night when his communications minister posted on his Twitter account that he was resigning.
