GOOD MORNING Man arrested on counterfeiting charges in Angola FORT WAYNE — An Angola man set to go to trial next week for forgery has been charged with counterfeiting in federal court. Scott D. Silvers, 47, is charged in federal court with using counterfeit “access devices,” or credit cards, counterfeiting, passing counterfeit money and possessing “device-making equipment,” say federal court documents. The charges stem from a raid on Silvers’ apartment in October. Officers allegedly found him sitting at a table, printing counterfeit money. They also allegedly found multiple printers, linen business paper, a manual embossing machine, a creditcard making machine and paper with copies of bills. Silvers also allegedly had other people’s birth certificates, driver’s licenses and credit cards. The investigation began when a woman tried to buy a gift card with counterfeit $10 bills at an Angola big box store. In Steuben Superior Court earlier this month, Silvers told Judge William Fee he gave the fake bills to people who were down on their luck. Silvers plans to represent himself Thursday against chief deputy prosecutor Travis Musser. Public defender Robert Hardy has been retained as stand-by counsel. Silvers faces up to 22 years in the case that includes a Class C felony forgery charge, a Class D felony counterfeiting charge and a potential designation of habitual offender. A pretrial conference is scheduled for today at noon in Superior Court.

County tables airport issue Air board president could be replaced BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — After nearly a one-hour discussion on whether to re-appoint Dr. R. Wyatt Weaver to the Steuben County Board of Aviation Commissioners, the Steuben County Board of Commissioners tabled the issue for more fact finding Thursday. Weaver currently serves as the aviation board’s chair. The board oversees the operations of the Tri-

State Steuben County Municipal Airport. The appointment is for a fouryear term. Don Stuckey, the county’s attorney, said appointments to the four-member board and removals are made by the commissioners. Other than that, the county has no control over the board, he said. Currently, Rick Shipe, Steuben County councilman, serves as the county’s liaison on the board and

attends every meeting, but is not allowed to vote. “In my opinion, I’d like to have our county representative have a vote on county spending,” Commissioner Loretta Smart said. There was some discussion of having Shipe replace Weaver on the board. Stuckey said he didn’t think state statute prohibits a public official from serving on a board such as the aviation board. Ron Smith, president of the Steuben County commissioners, said he received a number of

emails and phone calls in support of re-appointing Weaver to the board. John Kline, airport manager, spoke in favor of Weaver. “It all seems to stem from minimum standards at the airport,” Kline said, and added those standards are mandated by the state and the Federal Aviation Administration. Kline said the airport created rules and standards to meet those requirements, but those were rejected by the FAA.

REMC helps out in time of need BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — A few Steuben County Rural Electrical Membership Corp. linemen spent Christmas away from home helping provide power to those in need in Michigan. A severe snowstorm swept over much of Michigan over the weekend. Thousands were left without power. A cry for help reached Indiana Statewide Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives. They then reached out to Steuben County REMC. A crew of two linemen, Terry Dowell and Rod Allen, packed up their tools and headed north on Saturday. They braved extreme winter conditions of snow and ice. “The snow was so bad, it stood 4-6 inches thick on some of the poles,” Dowell said.” You could reach up and grab the cables (that hung down because of the weight of the snow).” Dowell and Allen drove to the northern part of the mainland to assist Presque Isle Electric & Gas Cooperative. According to the coop’s website, “an estimated 21,752 services lost power after a foot or

WASHINGTON (AP) — A deadline looming, President Barack Obama will meet with congressional leaders at the White House on Friday in search of a compromise to avoid a yearend “fiscal cliff” of across-theboard tax increases and deep spending cuts. The development capped a day of growing urgency in which Obama returned early from a Hawaiian vacation while lawmakers snarled across a partisan divide over responsibility for gridlock on key pocketbook issues. Speaker John Boehner called the House back into session for a highly unusual Sunday evening session. Adding to the woes confronting the middle class was a pending spike of $2 per gallon or more in milk prices if lawmakers failed to pass farm legislation by year’s end. Four days before the deadline, the White House disputed reports that Obama was sending lawmakers a scaled-down plan to avoid the fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts. Administration officials confirmed the Friday meeting at the White House in a bare-bones announcement that said the president would “host a meeting.” An aide to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said the Kentucky lawmaker “is eager to hear from the president.” A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner issued a statement that said the Ohio Republican would attend and “continue to stress that the House has already passed legislation to

LAKE JAMES — A 23minute documentary on the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps is available for viewing on the Department of Natural Resources’ YouTube channel. The channel is at dnr.IN.gov/7426.htm. For those looking for a quick overview, a two-minute trailer of highlights is also included on the YouTube channel. The documentary features interviews with Civilian Conservation Corps veterans and Pokagon State Park interpreter Fred Wooley, an expert on CCC history. The veterans recall living in CCC camps throughout Indiana and passing time in surrounding communities on weekends. The CCC was a Great Depression-era program aimed at getting men ages 18 to 25 back to work. It was established in 1933 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of the New Deal. The men of the CCC built and improved state parks and other public properties in Indiana and across the United States. They constructed roads, hiking trails, campgrounds and shelter houses and planted 3 billion trees nationwide. They earned

Holiday hikers hit the trail Sixty-eight hikers gathered in the historic Lonidaw Lounge at Potawatomi Inn, Pokagon State Park, where park interpreters Fred Wooley and Marjorie Hershman met and joined them for what has become a tradition — 14 years running — of walking to the Spring Shelter for hot chocolate and treats on Christmas Eve, this

past Monday. It was an overcast but bright sky, dark in the pines, a skiff of snow on the ground, all perfect for a walk in winter wonderland. At the shelter a fire was going and refreshments were set out for everyone to enjoy during friendly conversation and talks of park history.

$30 a month. Indiana had 56 CCC camps. The program was segregated, and eight of Indiana’s camps were African-American. With about 250 men, the 517th Company was the largest such camp in Indiana. It helped build what is now O’Bannon Woods State Park and helped victims of the 1937 Ohio River flood. Visitors to Indiana’s state parks can see excellent examples of CCC-built structures at the Lower Shelter House at Brown County, the CCC Shelter at Pokagon, the Stone Arch Bridge and Beech Grove Shelter at McCormick’s Creek, the North and South gate houses at Clifty Falls, and the Lodge Recreation Building at Ouabache. Many of the CCC-built structures at Pokagon are on the National Register of Historic Places. The documentary was filmed in summer 2012 during an annual reunion of Indiana CCC veterans at Turkey Run. The 2013 CCC reunion will be Aug. 24 at McCormick’s Creek as part of the Indiana Landmark’s Experience. DNR hopes to have a panel of CCC veterans who can share their experiences in the CCC.

Utah gun group offers training for teachers

Close ‘cliff’ means lower confidence

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) — English teacher Kevin Leatherbarrow holds a license to carry a concealed weapon and doesn’t see anything wrong with arming teachers in the aftermath of the deadly Connecticut school shooting. “We’re sitting ducks,” said Leatherbarrow, who works at a Utah charter school. “You don’t have a chance in hell. You’re dead — no ifs, ands or buts.” Gun-rights advocates in Utah agree and were offering six hours of training Thursday in handling concealed weapons for 200 Utah teachers in the latest effort to arm teachers to confront school assailants. In Ohio, a firearms group said it was launching a test program in tactical firearms training for 24 teachers. Arizona’s attorney general

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumers peering over the “fiscal cliff” don’t like what they see. Fears of sharp tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect next week sent consumer confidence tumbling in December to its lowest level since August. The Conference Board said Thursday that its consumer confidence index fell for the second straight month in December to 65.1, down from 71.5 in November. The survey showed consumers’ outlook for the next six months deteriorated to its lowest level since 2011 — a signal to Lynn Franco, the board’s director of economic indicators, that consumers are worried about the tax hikes and spending cuts that take effect Jan. 1 if the White House and Congress can’t reach a budget deal.

Earlier this week a report showed consumers held back shopping this holiday season, another indication of their concerns about possible tax increases. The December drop in confidence “is obvious confirmation that a sudden and serious deterioration in hopes for the future took place in December — presumably reflecting concern about imminent ‘fiscal cliff’ tax increases,” said Pierre Ellis, an economist with Decision Economics. The decline in confidence comes at a critical time when the economy is showing signs of improvement elsewhere. A recovery in housing market is looking more sustainable. On Thursday, the government said newhome sales increased in November at the fastest seasonally adjusted annual pace in two years.

is proposing a change to state law to allow an educator in each school to carry a gun. The moves come after the National Rifle Association proposed placing an armed officer at each of the nation’s schools after a gunman on Dec. 14 killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. There are already police officers in some of the nation’s schools. Parents and educators, however, have questioned how safe the NRA proposal would keep kids, whether it would be economically feasible and how it would alter student life. Some educators say it is dangerous to allow guns. Among the dangers are teachers being overpowered for their weapons or students getting them and accidentally or purposely shooting classmates.

Christine Caldwell, left, receives firearms training with a 9mm Glock from personal defense instructor Jim McCarthy during concealed weapons training for 200 Utah teachers Thursday in West Valley City, Utah.

“It’s a terrible idea,” said Carol Lear, a chief lawyer for the Utah Office of Education. “It’s a horrible, terrible, no-good, rotten idea.” Utah educators say they would ban guns if they could, but legislators left them with no choice. State law forbids schools, districts or college campuses from imposing their own gun restrictions. Educators say they have no way of knowing how

many teachers are armed. Gun-rights advocates estimate 1 percent of Utah teachers, or 240, are licensed to carry concealed weapons. It’s not known how many do so at school. Gun-rights advocates say teachers can act more quickly than law enforcement in the critical first few minutes to protect children from the kind of deadly shooting that took place in Connecticut.

pointed out in her statement that the 88-year-old Bush is sick and likely will be in the hospital for a while after a “terrible case of bronchitis which then triggered a series of complications.” Bush, the oldest living former president, has been in intensive care since Sunday. He was admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on Nov. 23 for treatment of what his spokesman Jim McGrath described as a “stubborn” cough. He had spent about a week there earlier in November for treatment of the same condition. Becker said “most of the civilized world” contacted her Wednesday after disclosures Bush had been placed in the intensive care unit after physicians were having difficulty bringing a fever under control. “Someday President George H.W. Bush might realize how beloved he is, but of course one of the reasons why he is so beloved is because he has no idea,”

‘Stormin’ Norman’ dies at age 78 Schwarzkopf kept low profile in later years WASHINGTON (AP) — Retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who topped an illustrious military career by commanding the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein’s forces out of Kuwait in 1991 but kept a low Schwarzkopf public profile in controversies over the second Gulf War against Iraq, died Thursday. He was 78. Schwarzkopf died in Tampa, Fla., where he had lived in retirement, according to a U.S. official, who was not authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. A much-decorated combat soldier in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was known popularly as “Stormin’ Norman” for a notoriously explosive temper. He served in his last military assignment in Tampa as commander-inchief of U.S. Central Command, the headquarters responsible for U.S. military and security concerns in nearly 20 countries from the eastern Mediterranean and Africa to Pakistan. Schwarzkopf became “CINC-Centcom” in 1988 and when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait three years later to punish it for allegedly stealing Iraqi oil reserves, he commanded Operation Desert Storm, the coalition of some 30 countries organized by President George H.W. Bush that succeeded in driving the Iraqis out. “Gen. Norm Schwarzkopf, to me, epitomized the ‘duty, service, country’ creed that has defended our freedom and seen this great nation through our most trying international crises,” Bush said in a statement. “More than that, he was a good and decent man — and a dear friend.” At the peak of his postwar national celebrity, Schwarzkopf — a selfproclaimed political independent — rejected suggestions that he run for office, and remained far more private than other generals, although he did serve briefly as a military commentator for NBC. While focused primarily in his later years on charitable enterprises, he campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2000 but was ambivalent about the 2003 invasion of Iraq, saying he doubted victory would be as easy as the White House and Pentagon predicted. In early 2003 he told the Washington Post the outcome was an unknown: “What is postwar Iraq going to look like, with the Kurds and the Sunnis and the Shiites? That’s a huge question, to my mind. It really should be part of the overall campaign plan,” he said.

he bizarre and horrific saga of Richmond Hill added a chapter Friday that survivors of the Nov. 10 explosion can only hope leads to some form of closure. An insurance scam is said to have wrought the death and destruction that led to felon y murder charges against Monserrate Shirley; her boyfriend, Mark Leonard; and his brother, Bob Leonard. Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said the three plotted to release natural gas into Shirley’s Southeastside home and detonate it with a timed microwave oven, hoping to cash in on insurance coverage they’d increased to $300,000. If that is true — and the state still has the burden of proving so — then the deed was both greedy and unconscionably callous. Far from being confined to the Shirley house, the blast destroyed four others as well, damaged 90 more and took the lives of John “Dion” and Jennifer Longworth, Shirley’s next-door neighbors. More than $4 million in damage was incurred, and the lives of countless people were scarred forever. For three people, prosecutors must decide whether to seek the death penalty. “We are here today to discuss a thoroughly, thoroughly senseless act which resulted in the death of two young adults in the prime of their life,” Curry said at a press conference in the company of local, state and federal law enforcement personnel. “We in the criminal justice community must devote our best efforts to see that justice is served.” Those efforts already have been arduous as a probe has been conducted into one of the most difficult types of crimes to solve. Anxious weeks have gone by since authorities first announced that the incident was being treated as a homicide. Many months will pass before a resolution comes to this cataclysmic act that shook an entire city. As the grim details of the Richmond Hill story unfold, the positives will continue to shine through: the heroic work of first responders, the tireless team efforts of investigators, the healing embrace of the sufferers by their neighbors and the larger community. May those chapters be as well noted as this one.

Letters to The Editor • Noble County needs clear animal welfare regulations To the editor: A public hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 2, at 7 p.m. in the basement of the Noble County Office Complex at 2090 North State Road 9 in Albion to consider a zoning petition that may result in Noble County’s first largescale commercial dog kennel to operate in our community. I want to urge anyone who has a stake in protecting the quality of life here to become informed and involved in determining what the future may hold. This hearing has been set for the Board of Zoning Appeals to review the variance and exception petitions for six dog breeding kennels. One of these, in particular, is drawing significant interest from animal welfare groups including Puppy Mill Awareness Meetup from Southeast Michigan and the United States Department of Agriculture. It is fair to believe the Humane Society of the United States and PeTA may not be far behind. In recent years many have worked hard to develop the Noble County Comprehensive Plan to “create a better future” and to “effectively and specifically guide decisions for policies.” The plan aims to “strengthen

relationships between governmental, quasigovernmental, private and nonprofit organizations.” This county is home to a number of organizations whose missions include advocating to protect the well-being of animals, and to develop compassionate, responsible citizens in our community. Those who support, through their heardearned dollars and volunteer efforts, humane societies, animal foster groups and families, veterinarians, etc., and those who promote humane education for responsible pet ownership, should be keenly interested in the choice to allow, or not, the first “commercial breeder” of this sort to operate here. The decision could decide if Noble County will become a hotbed for the kinds of businesses that have made other communities home to protests, controversy and headlines. Animal welfare is a topic that has more implications than the direct impact on any one animal’s life. Have you ever heard of Zanesville, Ohio? Does the name Michael Vick ring a bell? There is plenty of evidence to be reviewed at this hearing, including violations of the Federal Animal Welfare Act as recently as October 2012, to suggest thoughtful consideration for these applications is in order. While communities around the nation are bringing change to prohibit

the kinds of activities that result in animal suffering and overpopulation, Noble County is struggling. We lack clear regulations related to animal welfare. I urge citizens to engage in conversation and participate in this decision-making process. We are at risk of setting a precedent of “safe ha ven” to the problems of other communities. The task at hand for the Board of Zoning Appeals is to determine findings of fact. According to the review process, this means not only consideration of the physical characteristics of the proposed kennels within the scope of “land use” b ut also that the proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the comprehensive plan. It is up to this board, with public input during this hearing, to determine if this unique industry will be “injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.” I strongly urge anyone who lacks knowledge of the issues surrounding largescale puppy breeding operations, those raising families who value the development of compassion for all life, as well as those who work tirelessly to help animals in need, to attend the meeting on Jan. 2. Listen, learn and let your voices be heard.

Taking another ever closer look through the lens at Kennedy, albeit lightly WASHINGTON — In today’s world of social media, where everyone’s every little thing is on display, it is sometimes difficult to recall a time when exhibitionism wasn’t ubiquitous and was, in fact, not admired. Such are the inevitable thoughts upon perusing Kitty Kelley’s lovely new book — yes, lovely — about John F. Kennedy as seen through the eyes, or more accurately, the lens of her friend, photojournalist Stanley Tretick. Kelley, notorious for her unauthorized biographies of such luminaries as Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Frank Sinatra and more recently Oprah, narrates the book, “Capturing Camelot,” which is essentially a photo album filled with about 200 images, including many iconic shots (John-John under his father’s desk), as well as many never before seen. The narrative provides just enough fresh information to justify yet

another book about JFK. Kelley inherited the photos, as well as memos and keepsakes, that Tretick kept in a trunk and left to her upon his death in 1999. Tretick once told Kelley playfully that the trunk was filled with nude photos. Instead, she found a treasure trove. Kelley’s book is thus a story with many layers: Her own friendship with Tretick; his with the Kennedys; the Kennedys among themselves. Tretick’s photographs and notes provide a wider angle through which to glimpse the president and first lady, about whom we already know so much. Is there anything left to know about JFK? A picture is worth a thousand words, we have heard a thousand times, but some tell more than others. And sometimes the picture not taken tells us even more. These would include photos Kennedy specifically asked

Tretick not to shoot. Not that Tretick always acquiesced but the relationship between the president and the photographer seems to have been one of mutual KATHLEEN respect. A photogPARKER rapher is perfectly positioned to reveal truths beyond the camera. He is essentially an authorized peeping Tom. Unlike the paparazzi who steals intimacy with a telescopic lens, the authorized photographer is invited to a mostintimate gathering. Part of what one discovers, or rediscovers, about Kennedy upon reading Tretick’s notes is that the man irrevocably associated with womanizing (thanks in

•

part to Kelley’s own expose in “Jackie Oh!”), was in most other ways a class act — humble, authentic, dignified and uninterested in being an object of adulation. How refreshing and, these days, how rare. In one memo Kelley fished from the trunk, he described Kennedy as “extremely polite, great sense of humor, quick as a rapier on the uptake, hard to top, cannot stand posing for pictures, expresses displeasure if he knows you caught him off guard in a photo that might not be to his liking … absolutely rebels at any photo that shows him eating or drinking.” Kennedy also hated being photographed in hats because he felt corny and silly. Among more-contemporary politicians, President Obama seems to have harnessed this lesson better than most. Memorable in the annals of unfortunate headwear was, of course, then-Gov. Michael

Dukakis, whose fate as a presidential candidate in 1988 may have been sealed by a photo of him wearing a military helmet and taking a spin in a tank. Kennedy also objected to public displays of affection, which was commonly understood to be, well, common. Only people bereft of education and what used to be known as manners displayed affection in public. Whose business are one’s emotions, anyway? Ah. But they’re everyone’s today. We can hardly get through an hour without expressing to online “friends,” otherwise known as virtual strangers, our every waking experience, from what food we’ve consumed to who we spotted across the restaurant. No one understood the value of image better than Kennedy, who defeated Richard Nixon in 1960 by a mere 100,000 votes out of 68 million cast, in part because he was surpassingly telegenic

compared to the sweatsoaked Nixon. Even so — and impressively in our age of photo-ops and endless spin — Kennedy wanted nothing captured on camera that wasn’t real. If it didn’t happen, he wouldn’t pose and pretend that it had. Again, refreshing and rare. There’s no telling how Kennedy would have navigated our 24/7 media world, in which everyone with a phone is a photographer, and respect for personal space is nonexistent. As we ponder these what-ifs, one is grateful that there was once a Camelot, if only in America’s idea of itself, so beautifully captured by a remarkable photographer and given permanence by Kelley, who has a sweet side after all.

Pro-gun rights activists petition to deport Piers Morgan LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for British CNN host Piers Morgan to be deported from the U.S. over his gun control views. Morgan has taken an aggressive stand for tighter U.S. gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting. Last week, he called a gun advocate appearing on his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Piers Morgan Tonightâ&#x20AC;? show an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbelievably stupid man.â&#x20AC;? Now, gun rights activists are fighting back. A petition created Dec. 21 on the White House epetition website by a user in Texas accuses Morgan of engaging in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hostile attack against the U.S. Constitutionâ&#x20AC;? by targeting the Second Amendment. It demands he be deported immediately for â&#x20AC;&#x153;exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.â&#x20AC;? The petition has already hit the 25,000 signature threshold to get a White House response. By Monday, it had 31,813 signatures. Morgan seemed unfazed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and even amused â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by the movement. In a series of Twitter messages, he alternately urged his followers to sign the petition and in response to one article about the petition said â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring it onâ&#x20AC;? as he appeared to track the petitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?â&#x20AC;? he wrote.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The ghetto called Aroma reeks of putrefying trash collected by its residents for recycling. Half-naked children with grimy faces play on muddy dirt roads lined by crumbling shanties of tarpaulin walls, cracked tin roofs and communal toilets. From this Manila slum of garbage collectors emerged an unlikely Cinderella: ballerina Jessa Balote who at the age of 10 was plucked out of her grubby life by a ballet school to prepare her for a life on stage. In four years since her audition in 2008, Jessa has performed in various productions, including Swan Lake, Pinocchio, Don Quixote and a local version of Cinderella. She rode a plane for the first time in August to compete in the 2012 Asian Grand Prix ballet competition for students and young dancers in Hong Kong, where she was a finalist. The 14-year-old Jessaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely success is as much

a celebration of a unique effort by the Philippinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most famous prima ballerina, Lisa Macuja, to help slum kids of Manila by providing them a scholarship and classical ballet training for six to seven years. More than a quarter of the Southeast Asian nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 94 million people live in abject poverty, many in sprawling and unsanitary shanty towns like Aroma in the capital city. Despite a reecent economic upturn, there are not enough full-time jobs. Education skills are lacking and incomes are low. At least 3,000 Filipinos leave their families behind every day to seek employment abroad. Jessa, who would have likely followed her family to a life of garbage picking, had not much of a future to look forward to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to tag along with my father and mother when they collected garbage in the evening,â&#x20AC;? Jessa said in her home about the size of a

REMC: Steuben linemen return on Christmas Eve FROM PAGE A1

night and into the early morning hours in order to restore service to as many members as they could. The two men didn’t return home until after dark on Christmas Eve. “There were a lot of people without power for Christmas and we wanted to give that back to them,” said Dowell. “They were REALLY happy to see us!” The damage was extensive with frozen trees, downed

lines, broken poles and deep snow severely hindering the restoration process. According to Karl Peters, director of electric operations for Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op, an additional nine outside co-op crews and six contractor crews were brought in to assist with the effort. As of Wednesday, an additional six crews were on their way to help. Christmas Day proved challenging locally, as well. A broken pole took out

power to 211 Steuben County residents, to which four Steuben County REMC crew members — Neal Knox, Dowell, Chris Hamilton and Matt Lorntz — responded. Steuben County REMC was founded in 1937 to provide electric services to the local rural community. Since then, the co-op has grown to provide power to nearly 10,000 residences and businesses in Steuben and parts of DeKalb and LaGrange counties.

COMMISSIONERS: Airport rules are discussed FROM PAGE A1

“They want two documents — one for minimum standards and one for rules,” Kline said. “I’m trying to lay the groundwork for what Dr. Weaver was doing … I can’t think of anyone more qualified. He does this pro-bono and gets no money from it. Dr. Weaver is the most connected (person) in the county.” A dispute with local pilots led to the creation of rules for the airport. Kline said under Weaver’s leadership, the airport has made many changes, including the completion last month of the $1.6 million hangar/terminal, of which the county provided most of

You’ve spent a lot of money dragging the airport from the 20th century into the 21st century.” After the meeting, Kline said he intended his comment to be congratulatory in nature to the commissioners for them being willing to contribute financially to the airport to help it advance to the 21st century. “They have created a problem,” Kline said. “In the past, there were no rules and regulations. Their actions prompted rules and regulations.

“We need rules and minimum standards so businesses coming to Steuben County know what to expect. We need to bring this airport up to standards. We cannot just keep saying (people) can do whatever they want,” Kline said. Craig Benson, the board’s attorney, said the airport needs to further evolve as it is doing now. Charles Moore has been a pilot at the airport since 1967. He told the commission he read the proposed rules and said “they’re right.” He also sent a letter to the county in support of Weaver. Scott Tidd spoke on behalf of pilots at the airport who are against reappointing Weaver.

SHIPSHEWANA — Sixteen tons of ice arrived in Shipshewana Thursday morning for the sixth annual Shipshewana Ice Festival that runs today and Saturday. More than a dozen professional ice carvers and their chainsaws are tearing up huge blocks of ice in the annual festival that will showcase ice sculptures throughout the downtown area. At least nine ice artists will participate in a competitive ice-carving contest today at 10 a.m. just outside the Davis Mercantile. The artists will be carving 600-pound blocks of ice with chainsaws into works of art. Levi King, a local businessman and Ice Festival promoter, said more than 30,000 pounds of specially made, crystal-clear blocks of ice have been trucked into Shipshewana just for the event. Ice artist Danny Bloss of Niles, Mich., said the Shipshewana event is one of the biggest ice-sculpting events in the area. Saturday, the festival kicks it up a notch, hosting a chili cook-off contest in a tent set up in the Davis Mercantile parking lot. Ten

avert the entire fiscal cliff and now the Senate must act.” While there was no guarantee of a compromise, Republicans and Democrats said privately elements of any agreement would likely include an extension of middle class tax cuts with increased rates at upper incomes as well as cancellation of the scheduled spending cuts. An extension of expiring unemployment benefits, a reprieve for doctors who face a cut in Medicare payments and possibly a short-term measure to prevent dairy prices from soaring could also become part of a yearend bill, they said. That would postpone politically contentious disputes over spending cuts for 2013. Top Senate leaders said they remain ready to seek a last-minute agreement. Yet there was no legislation pending and no sign of negotiations in either the House or the Senate on a bill to prevent the tax hikes

Stutzman says House bill avoids ‘fiscal cliff’ WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman issued a statement Thursday urging President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to avoid the “fiscal cliff” by approving legislation the House of Representatives already has passed that would prevent tax increases on Stutzman families, small businesses and family farms: “The House of Representatives has passed legislation to stop and spending cuts that economists say could send

the ‘fiscal cliff’ and the largest tax increase in our nation’s history,” Stutzman said. “It’s time for the Senate to take up these measures and the president to sign them into law. The quickest way to stop the largest tax hike in American history is for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass our legislation that would prevent it. “Instead of allowing massive tax hikes on families and small businesses, we need to provide certainty by extending the current tax rates for all Americans, and the House has done just that,” Stutzman said. the economy into a recession.

COLDWATER, Mich. — Tyler Jenkins poured in a career-high 40 points to lead Fremont to a 78-65 victory over Eaton Rapids (Mich.) to secure its sixth consecutive win and its third straight appearance in the championship round of the Cardinal Holiday Hoops tournament Thursday at Coldwater High School. “He had a smooth 40,” Fremont coach Ted Bookwalter said. “They just weren’t quick enough to stay ahead of him. When that happens, we tell him to go to the rim until they stop him. “Tyler loves tournament time.” It removes any doubt about Jenkins’ place in Eagle basketball lore as he moved into second place with 1,205 career points, just ahead of Stan White, who scored 1,196 points in his career from 1970 to 1974. Fremont great and 1998 graduate Tim Ritter is first with 1,239 points alltime. Forty points is also fourth for a most points scored in a game.

Bowling Green falls in Military Bowl WASHINGTON (AP) — David Fales, who led the nation in completion percentage during the regular season, completed 33 of 43 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns Thursday to lead No. 24 San Jose State to a 29-20 win over Bowling Green in the Military Bowl. Fales led the drive that set up Austin Lopez’s 27-yard field goal with 4:43 remaining, and De’Leon Eskridge’s 1-yard run with 2:34 left provided the insurance. San Jose State (11-2), in the national rankings for the first time

since 1975, capped the year with a seven-game winning streak for its first 11-win season since 1940, a remarkable turnaround for a program that was 1-12 just two years ago in Mike MacIntyre’s first season as coach. But MacIntyre left earlier this month for a bigger payday at Colorado, leaving defensive coordinator Kent Baer in charge for the bowl. Baer was interested in the job full-time, but the school instead hired San Diego’s Ron Caragher, who attended the game SEE BOWLS, PAGE B2

AHS girls lose lead in loss No rest BY KEN FILLMORE kenf@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — Angola’s girls basketball team lost a seven-point lead to Leo with under three and a half minutes left Thursday night and ended up losing to the Lions 39-35 in a key matchup between Class 3A sectional rivals at Central Gym. The Hornets (9-2) built leads and the Lions battled back in the second half. Leo (9-2) finished the game with an 11-0 run. “I’m proud of our kids,” Lions coach Carrie Shappell said. “Our defense and rebounding was pretty consistent down the stretch. We gave up a couple of offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter, but we stayed calm on defense.” Rachel Rinehart hit a three-pointer off a drive and kick pass from sister Ericka to put AHS up 3528 with 3 minutes, 21 seconds left. The Hornets did not score again. Sophomore Jenna Beer hit two threepointers to get Leo within one at 35-34 with 2:33 to go. The Hornets milked the clock for nearly a minute with the lead. But Angola took a shot and

missed. Leo rebounded and capitalized on the other end. Lion senior Keanna Gary was found wide open under the basket and scored as she was fouled by Kylie Bidlack. Gary made the free throw to complete the threepoint play and put Leo in front 37-35 with 28.4 seconds left. On the Hornets’ ensuing possession, Bidlack missed a tough shot inside against a Leo double team and with Gary in her face. The Lions rebounded and scored in transition on a layup by Seiss with just over 10 seconds left. “Leo outplayed us. We didn’t make good decisions defensively or offensively late in the game,” Angola coach John Berger said. “I thought we did a great job on Gary throughout the game. But we left her open twice in the second half. Beer had three wide-open looks and made two of them,” Berger added. “We had some good looks, but we didn’t knock down shots.” Gary led the Lions with 12 points and 18 rebounds. Beer had 10 points, fiuve rebounds and two steals. Angola

But we have a lot of work to do,” Shappell said. “We’ll probably see them down the road.” The Hornets were tested over the past week by two programs they have had their fair share off success with in

Homestead and Leo. Angola fell to both the Spartans (52-38 in Fort Wayne on Dec. 19) and the Lions. “We competed with both teams,” Berger said. “But we just have to do the little things better, like box out and find the even better shot.” On Thursday, Angola shot 24 percent from the SEE HORNETS, PAGE B2

in the game when Sichling hit the second of two free throws. The Eagles had a chance to take their first lead at the 1:36 mark when Rhonehouse swiped the ball and was fouled on a layup. With Coldwater leading 39-38, she was unable to drop either free throw. Trailing 41-40 with about 40 seconds remaining, the Eagles secured a jump ball call. After a timeout, they lost possession on the baseline. With 9.8 seconds remaining, Kellie Pierucki hit

both free throws to preserve the Cardinal win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we could (win) too,â&#x20AC;? Frantz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt confident, but we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get over the hump. Going down the stretch, we missed too many free throws. Tonight was really disappointing. Just a lack of execution. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win. I think it was a game we could have won and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just frustrating.â&#x20AC;? Coldwater buillt an 11point lead late in the second quarter to go up 24-13.

Oklahoma City wins in OT OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Durant scored 40 points while Russell Westbrook added eight of his 16 points in overtime to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat Dallas 111-105 on Thursday night for their 11th straight win at home. Serge Ibaka added 19 points and matched his season high with 17 rebounds as Oklahoma City charged back from 10 points down in the final 7:17 of regulation and found a way to win after losing back-toback games for the first time this season. Darren Collison scored a season-best 32 points for Dallas. Dirk Nowitzki scored nine points in his second game back after offseason knee surgery, showing some rust down the stretch. Westbrook turned the game around with six straight points after the Mavs had gone up 104-101 on Chris Kamanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bucket inside midway through overtime. Westbrook had a layup, hit a jumper over Nowitzki and then made a leaping steal of an O.J. Mayo pass that led to a fast-break layup. The sequence left Mavericks owner Mark Cuban shaking

his head in his seat near the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench. Mayo was fouled on Dallasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next possession while shooting a 3-pointer, but he missed the first two foul shots with 33 seconds left as the sold-out Chesapeake Energy Arena crowd roared louder with each miss. Westbrook hit two free throws after that to put it away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this time for good. Collison came up with a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to send it to overtime after Dallas had given up the lead for the first time since the opening 4 minutes. Shawn Marion inbounded from the sideline with 2.2 seconds left, collected a deflected pass and headed toward the lane before kicking the ball out to Collison, who caught the ball in mid-air and heaved it toward the basket for the tying 3 from the right wing. Replays showed he released the shot with onetenth of a second left on the clock. Still working his way back into shape, Nowitzki proved to be a liability during Oklahoma Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 176 fourth-quarter comeback. He sagged off of Durant far enough that the three-time

NBA scoring champion could drill a 3-pointer from the left wing, then was trailing a play when O.J. Mayo backed into him and lost the ball to set up Durantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast-break dunk and three-point play. Durantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right-handed hook shot from the right block gave Oklahoma City its first lead since the opening 4 minutes at 96-95 with 1:57 to play. Oklahoma City came up empty on three chances to extend the lead â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after back-to-back offensive rebounds by Ibaka â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Durant hit a pair of free throws with 3.7 seconds left after Westbrook stole the ball from Mayo and dove to cover it while calling timeout. In overtime, Carlisle pulled Nowitzki in favor of Marion for defense at one point. Kaman ended up with 17 poitns and Marion chipped in 14 points and nine rebounds for the Mavericks, who were swept on a treacherous three-game road trip that featured stops at West contenders Memphis, San Antonio and Oklahoma City despite getting Nowitzki back. Dallas has lost seven of eight.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Nets’ Johnson coach of month in November, fired in December NEW YORK (AP) — Coach of the month in November, out of a job by New Year’s. The Brooklyn Nets have elevated expectations this season, and a .500 record wasn’t good enough. Coach Avery Johnson was fired Thursday, his team having lost 10 of 13 games after a strong start to its first season in Brooklyn. “We don’t have the same fire now than we did when we were 11-4,” general manager Billy Johnson King said at a news conference in East Rutherford, N.J. “I tried to talk to Avery about it and we just can’t figure it out. The same pattern kept on happening.” Assistant P.J. Carlesimo will coach the Nets on an interim basis, starting Friday night with a home game against Charlotte. King said the Nets might reach out to other candidates, but for now the job was Carlesimo’s. The GM wouldn’t comment on a report that the team planned to get in touch with former Lakers coach Phil Jackson. Johnson was in the final year of a threeyear, $12 million contract. “It’s a really disappointing day for me and my family. It’s my wife’s birthday. It’s not a great birthday gift,” Johnson said. “I didn’t see this coming. But this is ownership’s decision. It’s part of the business. Fair or unfair, it’s time for a new voice and hopefully they’ll get back on track.”

Seahawks DB Sherman wins appeal, eligible for playoffs RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for use of performance enhancing substances on Thursday, making him eligible for the NFL playoffs. Sherman posted “I won,” on his Twitter account Thursday morning, followed by teammates tweeting their congratulations. Sherman added, “Thank you (at)nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord.” The decision was made by former NFL executive Bob Wallace. Sherman was steadfast since news broke of his pending suspension that he believed he would win on appeal. Sherman’s appeal was based on errors in the chain of custody of his sample and that there were mistakes made by the tester. Sherman made his appeal late last week. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email the league is reviewing the decision, but was declining comment due to confidentiality provisions. The decision makes Sherman eligible for the Seahawks season finale against St. Louis and, more importantly, the playoffs. Seattle has played the last three weeks without fellow starting cornerback Brandon Browner who is serving a fourgame suspension for a banned substance violation. Browner’s suspension expires after Sunday’s game against the Rams, so Seattle will have both of its starting cornerbacks available for the postseason. “Congrats to Richard Sherman for winning his appeal! Happy for him & it’ll be great to have him with us as we mo ve forward,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll tweeted Thursday morning.

Hall of Famer Fisk pleads guilty to drunken driving JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Hall of F ame baseball catcher Carlton Fisk pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor drunken-driving charge, two months after police found him asleep in his pickup truck in a suburban Chicago cornfield. Fisk, 64, was sentenced to one year of court supervision and must pay $1,250 in court costs. He also must undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation and counseling. Fisk’s attorney, Stephen White, said in Will County court that Fisk wanted to accept responsibility for what he did. New Lenox police found Fisk unconscious in the truck on Oct. 22 and said there was an open bottle of vodka on the floor. New Lenox is about 35 miles southwest of downtown Chicago.

Americans blast Germany in hockey world juniors UFA, Russia (AP) — The United States routed Germany 8-0 Thursday at the world junior ice hockey tournament behind a goal and two assists each from Alex Galchenyuk and Riley Barber. This was the first Group B game for the Americans, who are tied for first place with Canada. The Canadians downed Germany 9-3 on Wednesday. The U.S. plays Russia on Friday. Also Thursday, Switzerland beat Latvia 7-2 in Group A. U.S. goaltender John Gibson stopped 19 shots through two periods. He was replaced for the third by Jon Gillies, who made seven saves. Sean Kuraly added a goal and an assist for the Americans. Goalie Marvin Cupper had 38 saves for the Germans. The Americans were up 3-0 after the first period on goals by Kuraly, Jacob Trouba and Galchenyuk. They scored another three in the second.

Collage brings back painful memories

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

DEAR ABBY: My daughter was repeatedly dateraped at the age of 16. Her predator threatened to kill her if she ever told, so she kept it to herself until she could get away from him. It was a very scary time in her life, but with the help of counseling she is working through it and moving on with her life. The problem is, while visiting with my in-laws it was pointed out to us that my mother-in-law had made a collage of pictures and included in it the person who raped my daughter. In all, there are five pictures of him in group settings. When my husband asked her calmly to remove them, she refused. She says it would punish the other grandchildren if she removed the pictures, and it would ‘‘ruin her collage.’’ We have asked her three times, but she refuses to budge. She says WE all need counseling and that the request is completely out of line. Do

to that request is also negative, I wouldn’t blame you if you went there very rarely, if ever. DEAR ABBY: My husband of eight years will not resolve his foot odor problem. We live in a small apartment, and it’s humiliating when we have company and half the apartment smells like stinky feet. He refuses to wear socks, and his solution in winter is to open all the windows and turn on the fan as soon as he returns from work. The ‘‘airing out’’ never completely gets rid of the smell — and I freeze! How can I get him to change? —FED UP IN DEAR FED UP: You obviously can’t change your husband, but you don’t have to risk getting pneumonia, either. Shoe repair shops sell deodorizing products. Or buy a large container of baking soda, and when your husband removes his shoes, dump a cupful into each one. They next day the smell should be gone.

THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM

Pain level main factor in opting for surger y removing damaged bone or joints and replacing them with artificial, or prosthetic, joints. The artificial joints provide patients with a better range of motion and more stability. This makes everyday tasks like writing much easier. Wrist arthroplasty ASK can be done an inpatient DOCTOR K. as or outpatient procedure. Dr. Anthony Sometimes general Komaroff anesthesia is used; other times, you are awake, but feel no pain because the nerves from your hand are numbed. In the surgery, the surgeon removes the first row of carpal bones (the bones that lie

•

between the forearm and the hand). Then the surgeon shapes the end of the radius (the main forearm bone) to fit one part of the artificial joint, which is attached to the end of the bone. The other part of the artificial joint fits over carpal bones in the wrist. A plastic spacer fits between the two components. Now the two artificial joint surfaces move easily against each other, creating a flexible and pain-free wrist. People with rheumatoid arthritis are most likely to benefit from a total wrist replacement, but it can also help people with osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis. Wrist replacement is major surgery and recovery takes several weeks. If you’re considering joint replacement, weigh the benefits and risks. Age is an important factor. But the final decision is based on your level of pain and how much your wrist stiffness and

DEAR DOCTOR K: We’ve all heard of hip and knee replacements — but is it true that you can have your wrist replaced too? DEAR READER: We like to think of ourselves as irreplaceable, but the truth is that some of our parts are replaceable. The joint replacements you hear most about are those of the knees and hips, but surgeons also have been replacing hand joints for decades. Joint replacement (arthroplasty) in the hands is actually more challenging than in larger joints such as the hips or knees. That’s because of the hands’ intricate bone structure and smaller joint size. Joint replacement surgery in the hands is a delicate procedure. You wouldn’t use the word “delicate” to describe a hip or knee replacement, even though the surgery does require considerable precision. Wrist arthroplasty involves

Egypt’s opposition leaders under investigation CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s chief prosecutor ordered an investigation on Thursday into allegations that opposition leaders committed treason by inciting supporters to overthrow Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. The probe by a Morsi-appointed prosecutor was launched a day after the president called for a dialogue with the opposition to heal rifts opened in the bitter f ight over an Islamist-drafted constitu-

tion just approved in a referendum. The opposition decried the investigation as a throwback to Hosni Mubarak’s regime, when the law was used to smear and silence opponents. The probe was almost certain to sour the already tense political atmosphere in the country. The allegations were made initially in a complaint by at least two lawyers sent to the chief prosecutor earlier this month. They

targeted opposition leaders Mohammed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace laureate and former head of the U.N. nuclear agency, former Foreign Minister Amr Moussa, and Hamdeen Sabahi. Both Moussa and Sabahi were presidential candidates who competed against Morsi in the last election. There was no immediate comment by any of the three opposition leaders named but the opposition dismissed the allega-

tions. Emad Abu Ghazi, secretarygeneral of the opposition party ElBaradei heads, said the investigation was “an indication of a tendency toward a police state and the attempt to eliminate political opponents.” He said the ousted Mubarak regime dealt with the opposition in the same way. Mubarak jailed his opponents, including liberals and Islamists. International rights groups said

their trials did not meet basic standards of fairness. ElBaradei was a leading figure behind the uprising against Mubarak and at one point, he w as allied with the Brotherhood against the old regime. The investigation does not necessarily mean charges will be filed against the leaders. But it is unusual for state prosecutors to investigate such broad charges against high-profile figures.

Storm blows through East; 200,000 in dark in Arkansas

A trio of sledders make their way down the side of a hill at Fort Harrison State Park Thursday in Indianapolis. Several

sledders enjoyed the hill after the area received 7.5 inches of snow.

Hoosiers still digging out Town about 50 miles south of Indy blanketed with 13 inches of snow INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana residents continued digging out Thursday from a winter storm that brought life to a standstill in southern parts of the state where blizzard conditions buried some areas under a foot of snow — their heaviest accumulations in several years. Greene County Emergency Management director Roger Axe said the 12 inches of wet snow that fell Wednesday on the southwestern Indiana county left local roads so mired the county’s sheriff got stuck for about an hour before his car was freed. Axe said he expects road crews to finish up Friday clearing county roads of the region’s heaviest snowfall since a March 1996 storm dumped 22 inches of snow. But he said it may take residents longer to finish

clearing their driveways. “We’re just digging out, slow but sure,” Axe said. In Indianapolis, where the storm’s 7.5-inch snowfall was the deepest in nearly four years, officials hired 350 private snowremoval trucks to help clear residential roads. Department of Public Works spokeswoman Lesley Malone said those contractors allowed the city to clear an additional 4,000 miles of residential streets in areas that lack neighborhood associations that handle snow-plowing duties. City crews cleared nearly another 7,000 miles of streets, she said. Malone said 90 trucks were out again Thursday salting and treating cleared roads and officials were urging motorists to slow down due to the risk of roads freezing and creating

dangerous, hard-to-see sheets of ice. The National Weather Service released a snowfall map Thursday showing that Wednesday’s storm buried four pockets of southwestern, south-central and southeastern Indiana with about a foot of snow. The storm dropped up to 3 inches of snow an hour in some areas. The town of Ellettsville about 50 miles south of Indianapolis was blanketed by 13 inches of snow — the most of any Indiana community, the weather service said. Jim Ragle, street commissioner in the town of 5,000 residents northwest of Bloomington, said his crews worked all day Wednesday and overnight to clear the Monroe Count town’s roads. “We’ve got a lot of snow piles around, but other than that we’re in pretty good shape,” he said. “We’re all ready for the next storm now, I guess.”

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A muted version of a winter storm that has killed more than a dozen people across the eastern half of the country plodded across the Northeast on Thursday, trapping airliners in snow or mud and frustrating travelers still trying to return home after Christmas. The storm, which was blamed for at least 16 deaths farther south and west, brought plenty of wind, rain and snow to the Northeast when it blew in Wednesday night. Lights generally remained on and cars mostly stayed on the road, unlike many harder-hit places including Arkansas, where 200,000 homes and businesses lost power. By afternoon, the precipitation had stopped in parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, though snow continued to fall in upstate New York and northern New England. Parts of snow-savvy New Hampshire expected as much as 18 inches. Dale Lamprey, who was

clearing off the sidewalk outside the legislative office building in Concord, already had several hours of shoveling under his belt by 8:30 a.m. Thursday and didn’t expect it to get much better. “I’m going to be shoveling all day, just trying to keep up with the snow,” he said. “Which is impossible.” The Northeast’s heaviest snowfall was expected to be in northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and inland sections of several New England states before the storm heads into Canada on Friday, National Weather Service spokesman David Roth said. While the East Coast’s largest cities — New York, Philadelphia and Boston — saw mostly high winds and cold rain, other areas experienced a messy mix of rain and snow that slowed commuters and those still heading home from holiday trips. Some inbound flights were delayed in Philadelphia and New York’s LaGuardia,

but the weather wasn’t leading to delays at other major East Coast airports. Forty-two students traveling to London and Dublin were stuck in the Nashville airport thanks to weather in the Northeast. The frustrated students, from universities in Tennessee and Kentucky, were supposed to leave Wednesday and arrive in London on Thursday. Joe Woolley, spokesman for the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad, said he hopes he can get them there just one day late. “It’s a two-week program, so it’s shortened already,” he said. On New York’s Long Island, a Southwest Airlines jet bound for Tampa, Fla., veered off a taxiway and got stuck in mud Thursday morning. Officials said there were no injuries to the 129 passengers and five crew members. Though the area received heavy rain overnight, Southwest spokesman Paul Flanigan said it wasn’t clear whether that played a role.

Hawaii’s new senator sworn in WASHINGTON (AP) — Brian Schatz symbolized a generational change in Hawaii’s Senate delegation, taking the hand of his new colleague, 88-year-old Sen. Daniel Akaka, moments before being sworn in Thursday as the successor to the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye. Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath of office in a chamber peopled by a dozen Democratic senators and a handful of Republicans. As he walked up the center aisle to meet Biden,

Schatz, 40, took Akaka’s hand and helped the frail Democratic senator, who is retiring, stay at his side. Schatz had flown to Washington hours earlier on Air Force One with President Barack Obama. Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie named Schatz, who had been lieutenant governor, to succeed Inouye. Inouye died last week of respiratory complications at the age of 88. The selection went against the dying wishes of Inouye, who is revered in Hawaii politics. He had

Fax 260-347-7282

wanted Rep. Colleen Hanabusa to succeed him. Schatz is a former state representative and onetime chairman of the state Democratic Party who ran Obama’s 2008 campaign in Hawaii. He said his top priorities in the Senate would be addressing global climate change, preserving federal funds used in Hawaii for things like defense spending and transportation and getting federal recognition for Native Hawaiians to form their own government, similar to many Indian tribes.
