Strike kills eleven

GOOD MORNING 2 injured in crash; woman airlifted BY BOB BRALEY bobb@kpcnews.net

ROME CITY — Two people were injured in, and a Cromwell woman was airlifted after a rollover crash in Noble County early Saturday, the county sheriff’s department said. Matthew Hayes, 22, of Kendallville was eastbound in the 4000 block of East C.R. 1150N at 3:50 a.m. when he lost control of his 2008 Chevy Malibu. It left the road and rolled over several times. Hayes was able to exit the vehicle through the window. His passenger, Angelica Garcia, 21, of Cromwell, was unable to get out and had to be extricated by firefighters. She was flown by Samaritan Helicopter to Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne. Garcia was listed in fair condition at Parkview Sunday evening. Hayes was transported by Noble County EMS to Parkview Noble Hospital. His condition was unavailable Sunday. Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash, deputies said. Also assisting at the scene were the Orange Township and Kendallville fire departments.

Obama visits Thailand temple BANGKOK (AP) — Leaving behind chants of “Obama, Obama” by adoring crowds on the streets, the president of the United States stepped into the serenity of Thailand’s most famous temple compound to marvel at its centerpiece — a gigantic, golden statue of a reclining Buddha propped up on one elbow before passing into nirvana. The Temple of Reclining Buddha, formally known as Wat Pho, was the first stop on President Barack Obama’s Asian tour that will also take him to Myanmar and Cambodia. Obama arrived at the temple, one of Bangkok’s most famous tourist sites, straight from the airport after landing in Bangkok on Sunday.

Hundreds support Parkview Hospice at Festival of Trees BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcnews.net

KENDALLVILLE — More than 400 people attended the 15th Annual Festival of Trees Gala, which benefits both the LaGrange and Noble branches of Parkview Hospice. The event was held at the Kendallville Event Center and featured a fun evening that also helped bring attention to a serious subject. The gala showcased a dozen 7foot Christmas trees donated and decorated by local business, individuals and groups, as well as 22 decorated wreaths and 3-foot holiday trees. Judges handed out awards for the top three trees, with a beautiful tree donated by Max and Ginny Roesler

claiming first place. Their tree had a “Grinch” theme. Second place went to a purple-flocked tree sponsored by Dr. Vincent Coda and DPM Associates. The tree entered by Frick Services of Wawaka claimed third-place honors. The People’s Choice award went to the tree sponsored by KPC Media Group, publisher of this newspaper. A 3-foot tree entered by Homestead Acres won the People’s Choice honor for that category, while a wreath decorated by Topeka Pharmacy was voted as best by those attending. A program that followed dinner featured an emotional talk given by Sue McDonald, whose family used the Parkview Hospice service to care for her ailing father in the

final months of his life. Approximately 100 items were donated for a silent auction, and a live auction featuring six gifts, was also held. John English, a member of the Parkview Noble Foundation Board and president of the Noble REMC utility, served as master of ceremonies. Those attending also heard welcoming remarks from Jen Will, director of the Parkview LaGrange Foundation, while Jane Roush, Parkview Noble Foundation’s director, thanked everyone for their support of Parkview Hospice. The amount of money raised for Parkview Hospice through the event and the auctions will be announced at a later date.

The 2012 elections drove home trends that have been embedded for years in the fine print of birth and death rates, immigration statistics and census charts. Nonwhites made up 28 percent of the electorate this year, compared with 20 percent in 2000, with Hispanics comprising much of that growth. Obama captured a commanding 80 percent of the growing ranks of nonwhite voters in 2012, just as he did in 2008. Republican Mitt Romney won 59 percent of nonHispanic whites, and although he dominated among white men — outperforming 2008 nominee John McCain among that group — he couldn’t win. Republicans have spent much of the time since the election wrestling with ways to appeal beyond their base of white men

and married women. Nonetheless, in a conference call to big donors last week, Romney credited Obama’s win to “extraordinary financial gifts from government” he said the president gave groups in his base coalition: Latinos, African-Americans and young people. Both Jindal and Gutierrez backed Romney’s bid for the White House, but distanced themselves from his post-election comments. Jindal, the incoming chair of the Republican Governors Association and a potential presidential candidate in 2016, on Sunday said slighting people simply isn’t good politics. “You don’t start to like people by insulting them and saying their

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s entirely possible that lawmakers and the White House will reach a deal that staves off an avalanche of tax increases and deep cuts in government programs before a Jan. 1 deadline. To do so, however, they’ll have to resolve deep political and fiscal disagreements that have stymied them time after time despite repeated promises to overcome them. For many economists, corporate leaders and politicians, it’s unconscionable to let the government veer over the “fiscal cliff,” which could drain $500 billion from the still-struggling economy next year. But even President Barack Obama says it could happen. “Obviously we can all imagine a scenario where we go off the fiscal cliff,” the president said last week. The likeliest cause, he suggested, would be “too much stubbornness in Congress,”

Jindal: GOP must go back to basics WASHINGTON (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says the Republican Party needs to go back to basics to attract the broad coalition of voters credited with putting President Barack Obama back in the White House. Kindergarten basics. “If we want people to like us, we have to like them first,” Jindal said on Fox News Sunday. Former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has a more nutsand-bolts approach to bringing in some of the largest and fastest growing groups of Americans: He’s forming a super PAC to support Republican candidates who back comprehensive immigration reform, including legalizing the status of an estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. without authorization.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli missile ripped through a two-story home in a residential area of Gaza City on Sunday, killing at least 11 civilians, including four young children and an 81-year-old woman, in the single deadliest attack of Israel’s offensive against Islamic militants. The bloodshed was likely to raise pressure on Israel to end the fighting, even as it pledged to intensify the offensive by striking the homes of wanted militants. High numbers of civilian casualties in an offensive four years ago led to fierce criticism and condemnation of Israel. In all, 73 Palestinians, including 37 civilians, have been killed in the five-day onslaught. Three Israeli civilians have also died from Palestinian rocket fire. President Barack Obama said he was in touch with players across the region in hopes of halting the fighting, while also warning of the risks of Israel

Basket Brigade helps 418 needy families BY DENNIS NARTKER dennisn@kpcnews.net

KENDALLVILLE — “It’s helping those in need in the community,” said Todd Sommers, of Auburn, one of many volunteers wrapping baskets and tubs of food for needy area families. For the 14th consecutive year, the Kendallville Basket Brigade went all out Sunday to see that those less fortunate have Thanksgiving dinners. The Destiny Family of Faith Church in Cornerstone Plaza was a hub of activity. Those adopting needy families brought laundry baskets and tubs filled with food into the former Select Flooring store now occupied by the church.

They wrapped them in colorful plastic wrap, or volunteers did it for them. Baskets were taken to vehicles for delivery to families in the area. “Their reactions when we bring the food baskets range from relief to outstanding joy. The women always cry,” said Colleen Sommers of Auburn, who has delivered food baskets, wrapped baskets and helped out the past two years. “We always say a prayer together with the families.” In another part of the building, hundreds of food-filled baskets lay on the floor waiting for pickup. “This is the first year we’ve allowed those families receiving SEE BRIGADE, PAGE A6

West Noble to be recognized for no-tobacco rules LIGONIER — The West Noble School Corp. has been selected to receive the Gary Sandifur Tobacco Free School Campus Award. It recognizes Indiana school corporations that have enacted policies prohibiting any tobacco use by students, all school staff, parents and visitors on school property, or in school vehicles, 24 hours a day. The reception of the Sandifur Award by West Noble School Corp. now means that all Noble and LaGrange county school corporations have met the state of Indiana’s tobacco standards, according to Greg Johnson, regional program coordinator for Tobacco-Free Northeast Indiana, which sponsors the award. Of the four northeast Indiana counties, Noble and LaGrange are the only

counties where all of the school districts meet the criteria recognized by the state as “tobacco free.” The Gary Sandifur Award was created in the memory and honor of Gary and the Sandifur family, as well as the countless other Hoosier families who have been harmed by tobacco use, Johnson said. “The award honors West Noble for its continued efforts to recognize that the use of tobacco presents a health hazard to our children which can have serious consequences for both the user and those subject to second-hand smoke,” Johnson said. The Sandifur Award will be accepted by principal Greg Baker and superintendent Dr. Dennis VanDuyne at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, at the high school.

Legislature must deal with health care INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana lawmakers can add confusion over the federal health insurance law to their already overflowing plate when they return for their 2013 legislative session in January. If it wasn’t an issue in Indiana’s 2012 Statehouse races, it quickly became an issue for the victors when President Barack Obama was re-elected, dashing any hopes of repealing the measure and leaving states with an immediate deadline for answering how they would build the exchanges through which residents will buy insurance plans. Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma punctuated its importance last week when he tapped the top health policy expert in his caucus to run the House’s most powerful committee next session. State Rep. Tim Brown, a Crawfordsville physician, will move from his post atop the House public health committee to run the budgetwriting House Ways and Means Committee. “With so much of the state’s focus not only currently, but in the next several years, being on health care and health carerelated initiatives including the affordable care act — which many hoped would be just a fond memory after Nov. 6 — it’s clear that the role of health care is taking

Hundreds attend funeral of fallen firefighter FORT WAYNE (AP) — Hundreds of mourners filled a northeastern Indiana church for the funeral of a Fort Wayne volunteer firefighter killed when his tanker truck overturned. An Allen County church was filled with some 1,000 people during Saturday’s service for 26-year-old Mark Haudenschild II. The volunteer firefighter for the Washington Township Fire Department died Nov. 11

when he was thrown from his tanker truck after he lost control of it while en route to a brush fire. During the funeral service, a fire official presented Haudenschild’s widow, Janet, with his fire helmet. Following the service, Haudenschild’s casket was placed on his Washington Township fire truck and taken to Riverview Cemetery in Churubusco for his burial service.

City will dedicate new park to labor unions MERRILLVILLE (AP) — A northwestern Indiana community is planning to turn a trash-filled former lumberyard into a new park honoring the region’s unions. Town Councilwoman Carol Miano says Merrillville recently acquired the land after she discovered it was listed on a tax sale. She tells The Times of Munster that the Lake County commissioners were instrumental in taking the land off

the tax sale so Merrillville could buy it for the park project. She says the new park will be called Union Park to honor local unions. Northwestern Indiana Building and Construction Trades Council business manager Randy Palmateer says the union appreciates the council’s decision to recognize local working families. Palmateer says he’s excited about the planned park.

Democrats have argued would “bend the cost curve” of unmitigated health insurance premium spikes in the last decade or so. “What we really need are cost estimates from a third party that’s unassociated with, or independent of the state, in order to get real numbers,” said Simpson, who studied the federal law before running with Democrat John Gregg against Pence. But any increase in spending is likely to ruffle lawmakers eyeing another two years of austere growth in tax collections matched with increasing demands from state agencies and universities that tightened their belts in recent years. And questions about the actual cost of the law are met with even more questions from confounded lawmakers who say they can’t get a straight response from the federal government. “I don’t know if the General Assembly is ready to take any action,” said Sen. Pat Miller, chairwoman of the Senate’s health committee. “If we could get some of our questions answered, I could tell you.” Some of lawmakers’ key concerns, Miller said, deal with the level of coverage from any plan and details like whether adult and children’s dental visits will be paid for.

Food pantry visit offers students lessons ALBION — Students from Oak Farm Middle School, Avilla, traveled to Albion to donate 100 pounds of pork to the Central Noble Food Pantry Nov. 2. The students spent the last school year feeding, cleaning, planning and maintaining the stalls of the sow and five piglets that were later processed by LaOtto Meats. The 22 students involved in this activity had exposure to economics and the cost of ownership, meaningfulness for the daily animal care of the pigs, student responsibility, science extensions and the importance of sustainability, all of which are components of the curriculum at Oak Farm Montessori School. The unexpected lessons that were learned by the students were of compassion and empathy. “It was interesting,” said Elijah Shanton, an eightgrade student of his experience at the food pantry. “Bam, right in your face. You could see the emotions in the faces of the volunteers. A few people seemed like they were about to cry. You could tell they were really passionate about what they do.” A seventh-grader, Erinrose

going there and hearing their stories,” Shanton said. Both students shared that they observed people arriving as early as 7 a.m. when the food was not distributed until noon.

NY police seek link in killings NEW YORK (AP) — Police are searching for any further links in the deaths of three New York City shopkeepers who were shot by the same gun.

Fashion in Bay Ridge. On Aug. 2, Isaac Kadare was found dead at his Amazing 99 Cents Deal shop in Bensonhurst. Authorities have said that ballistics evidence connected the weapon used in the first two deaths. Police say they don’t know the motive behind any of the killings. A call on Sunday to Vahidipour’s home in Great Neck wasn’t answered. Authorities are offering rewards of $22,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Music awards handed out LOS ANGELES (AP) — Justin Bieber thanked his haters after winning the first award at the American Music Awards, while Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift performed their new singles.

I feel like I’m going to be here for a very long time,” he said, also thanking his mom, manager, family and his “beautiful, beautiful fans.” He gave a stripped down, acoustic performance of “As Long As You Love Me,” sitting down as someone played the guitar. Carly Rae Jepsen, who performed early in the night, won favorite new artist. “I am floored. Wow,” she said, thanking Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun. Usher kicked off the

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In 15 years of teaching, University of Pennsylvania classicist Peter Struck has guided perhaps a few hundred students annually in his classes on Greek and Roman mythology through the works of Homer, Sophocles, Aeschylus and others — “the oldest strands of our cultural DNA.” But if you gathered all of those tuition-paying, inperson students together, the group would pale in size compared with the 54,000 from around the world who, this fall alone, are taking his class online for free — a “Massive Open Online Course,” or MOOC, offered through a company called Coursera. Reaching that broader audience of eager learners — seeing students in Brazil and Thailand wrestle online with texts dating back millennia — is thrilling. But he’s not prepared to say they’re getting the same educational experience. “Where you have a backand-forth, interrogating each other ideas, finding shades of gray in each other’s ideas, I don’t know how much of that you can do in a MOOC,” he said. “I can measure some things students are getting out of this course, but it’s nowhere near what I can do even when I teach 300 here at Penn.” A year ago, hardly anybody knew the term MOOC. But the Internetbased courses offered by elite universities through Coursera, by a consortium led by Harvard and MIT called edX, and by others,

are proving wildly popular, with some classes attracting hundreds of thousands of students. In a field known for glacial change, MOOCs have landed like a meteorite in higher education, and universities are racing for a piece of the action. The question now is what the MOOCs will ultimately achieve. Will they simply expand access to good instruction (no small thing)? Or will they truly transform higher education, at last shaking up an enterprise that’s seemed incapable of improving productivity, thus dooming itself to ever-rising prices? Much of the answer depends on the concept at the center of a string of recent MOOC announcements: course credit. Credit’s the coin of the realm in higher education, the difference between knowing something and the world recognizing that you do. Without it, students will get a little bit smarter. With it, they’ll get smarter — and enjoy faster and cheaper routes to degrees and the careers that follow. Students are telling the MOOC developers they want credit opportunities, and with a push from funders like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the MOOCs are trying to figure out how to get it to them. “Initially, I said it’d be three years” before MOOCs began confronting the credit issue, said MIT’s Anant Agarwal, president of edX, which launched only last May and has 420,000 students signed up this fall (Coursera is approaching 2

Swift won her fifth consecutive award for favorite country female artist. “This is unreal. I want to thank the fans. You guys are the ones who voted on this,” she said. Luke Bryan won favorite country male artist and Lady Antebellum favorite country group. Minaj was also a consecutive winner, picking up her second trophy for favorite rap/hip-hop album for “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.” She was in an all-white getup, including fur coat and pink hair. Kelly Clarkson also hit the stage, making a nod to her “American Idol” roots with a number on her dress and three judges looking on as she sang “Miss Independent.” Then she went into “Since U Been Gone,” ”Stronger” and “Catch My Breath.” It’s worth noting that “Idol” judge Randy Jackson introduced Clarkson, the first-ever winner of the show.

million). “It’s been months.” But making MOOC courses credit-worthy brings challenges much harder than producing even the best online lectures, from entering a state-by-state regulatory thicket to assessment. How do you grade 100,000 essays? How do you make sure students in a coffee shop in Kazakhstan aren’t cheating on quizzes? Last Tuesday, Coursera, which offers classes from 34 universities, announced the American Council on Education would begin evaluating a handful of Coursera courses and could recommend other universities accept them for credit (individual colleges ultimately decide what credits to accept). Antioch University, Excelsior College and the University of Texas system are already planning to award credit for some MOOCs. Two days later, Duke, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and seven other prominent universities announced a consortium called Semester Online offering students at those institutions — and eventually others, though details aren’t yet clear — access to new online courses for credit. These won’t be giant classes, but the announcement is important because top colleges, generally stingy about accepting outside credit, are signaling they agree the technology can now replicate at least substantially some of the high-priced learning experience that takes place on campus.

BANGKOK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. and Britain on Sunday warned about the risks of Israel expanding its air assault on the Gaza Strip into a ground war, while vigorously defending the Jewish stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to protect itself against rocket attacks. The remarks by President Barack Obama and Britain Foreign Secretary William Hague were part of a diplomatic balancing act by the West as it desperately seeks an end to the escalating violence without alienating its closest ally in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired into its territory,â&#x20AC;? President Barack Obama said at a news conference in Bangkok at the start of a three-nation visit to Asia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that can be accomplished without a ramping up of military activity in Gaza, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferable,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just preferable for the people of Gaza. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also preferable for Israelis, because if Israeli troops are

CLIFF: Lobbies, tax rates are among roadblocks Most Republican lawmakers have signed a pledge not to allow tax rates to rise, even if they are scheduled to do so by law, as are the Bush-era cuts. Some Democrats say it may be necessary to let the Dec. 31 deadline expire and have everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax rates revert to the higher, pre-Bush levels. Then, the argument goes, Republicans could vote to bring the rates back down for most Americans, but not the richest, without breaking their pledge. The tax rate issue is especially thorny because it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lend itself to Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite tactics for postponing hard decisions. Lawmakers routinely resort to â&#x20AC;&#x153;continuing resolutionsâ&#x20AC;? to end budget impasses by keeping spending levels unchanged for yet another year. Politically, no one wins or loses. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign promise to raise tax rates on the wealthy precludes that. Either rates on the rich will rise and Republicans will absorb defeat on a huge priority, or the rates will remain unchanged, a political defeat for Obama.

especially on the issue of taxes. Many Republicans in Congress counter that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Obama who is too unyielding. The knottiest issues facing the White House and congressional negotiators include:

Tax rates Obama campaigned on a pledge to end the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for households making more than $250,000 a year. Republican leaders say the lower rates from 2001 and 2003 should remain in place for everyone, including the rich. Both sides have dug in so deeply that it will be politically painful to back down. Republicans say tax increases on the rich would inhibit job growth. Democrats dispute that, and say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only fair for the wealthiest to provide more revenue in this era of historically low tax burdens and a growing income disparity between the rich and the poor.

sympathize with or support, including the United Kingdom,â&#x20AC;? he said. Israeli officials say the airstrikes are aimed at ending months of rocket fire out of the Hamas-ruled territory. Israel began the offensive with an unexpected airstrike that killed Hamasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; military chief, and since then has targeted suspected rocket launchers and storage sites. The Mideast ally is now at a crossroads: launch a ground invasion or pursue Egyptianled truce efforts. But with Israel and Hamas far apart on any terms of cease-fire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Israeli military is prepared to significantly expand the operation.â&#x20AC;? The crisis threatened to overshadow Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip to Asia, which includes stops in Myanmar and Cambodia as part of a broader effort to expand the U.S. economic and military presence in a region long dominated by China.

in Gaza, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re much more at risk of incurring fatalities or being wounded.â&#x20AC;? The president spoke shortly before an Israeli airstrike leveled a home in a residential neighborhood. Palestinian medical officials said at least 11 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed. The attack was the single deadliest incident of the 5-day-old Israeli operation. The Israeli military said the target was a top rocket mastermind of the Islamic Jihad militant group. The claim could not be immediately verified, and the attack raised speculation that Israel could face increased international pressure if the civilian death toll continued to rise. Hague said Hamas, Gazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s militant rulers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;bears principal responsibilityâ&#x20AC;? for initiating the violence and must stop all rocket attacks on Israel. But Hague also made clear the diplomatic risks of an Israeli escalation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A ground invasion is much more difficult for the international community to

Lobbies and the status quo Both parties have talked, vaguely, of raising revenues by limiting the itemized tax deductions claimed by about one-third of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxpayers. Among the most popular deductions are those for charitable donations, health care costs and mortgage interest payments. Each is represented by muscular lobbying groups that will fight to protect the millions or billions of dollars these tax breaks steer their way. An array of ideas has been floated. They include capping a taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total deductions at $35,000 or $50,000, and limiting the value of deductions to 28 percent, instead of the current 35 percent for high earners. The coalition of universities and other institutions that rely on tax-exempt donations is so influential that some strategists say charitable gifts should be left untouched. The housing industry says the same about home mortgage interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you put something on the table, there is enormous pushback,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

food to pick up their baskets,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle Eggering, Basket Brigade organizer. This was the fifth year Eggering and her fellow Orizon Real Estate employees sponsored the Basket Brigade. In October, Orizon accepted names of needy families in the East Noble school district from various sources and checked their circumstances. A call went out for those willing to adopt a family, and the community responded. A total of 418 families were helped this year, with 375 of those adopted. Last year, 471 families received food basket,s and 395 of those were adopted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Less families than last year and closer to full

adoption. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign,â&#x20AC;? said Eggering. The largest family served had 13 members. There were 973 children among the families receiving food. Orizon received approximately $3,000 in cash donations, and that money was used to purchase extra food if needed and fill baskets for those families not adopted. Adopting families were responsible for supplying items needed for a Thanksgiving feast, such as a frozen turkey or ham, foil roasting pans and roasting bags, potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, biscuits or rolls, canned goods, pumpkin pie, milk, baby food if appropriate, paper products, cereal, soup, eggs and applesauce. No

toys, candy or games were included. Businesses and churches adopting more than 20 needy families included Lewger Machine & Tool, Destiny Family of Faith Church, Bullhoff Rivnut, Kautex and Wickfab. Those adopting 10 or more families included Parkview Noble Hospital, Walmart, Avilla Elementary School, Kendallville Police Department, East Noble school groups, South Milford Church of God, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School and the Jonathan and Angel Diehm family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were so many adopted and so many who wanted to help. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly a community effort,â&#x20AC;? said Eggering.

votes were bought. We are an aspirational party,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jindal said the Republican Party needs to convince voters it is the party of the middle class and upward mobility. Its conservative principles â&#x20AC;&#x153;are good for every single voterâ&#x20AC;? and it â&#x20AC;&#x153;has to campaign for every single vote,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be

Scott Walker, the GOP groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incoming vice chair, said also on Fox News Sunday that governors are key to bringing a diversity of voters to the GOP. Thirty states

have elected Republican governors, an indication that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the trust factor is there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a message that works for young people, that works for people who come to our country from other countries, and, basically for anyone who wants to live their piece of the American dream,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that starts with our governors as great messengers.â&#x20AC;?

expanding its air assault into a ground war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to see what kind of progress we can make in the next 24, 36, 48 hours,â&#x20AC;? Obama said during a visit in Thailand. On the ground, there were no signs of any letup in the fighting as Israel announced it was widening the offensive to target the military commanders of the ruling Hamas group. The Israeli military carried out dozens of airstrikes throughout the day, and naval forces bombarded targets along Gazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mediterranean coast. Many of the attacks focused on homes where militant leaders or weapons were believed to be hidden. Palestinian militants continued to barrage Israel with rockets, firing more than 100 on Sunday, and setting off air raid sirens across the southern part of the country. Some 40 rockets were intercepted by Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S.-financed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iron Domeâ&#x20AC;? rocket-defense system, including two that targeted the metropolis of Tel Aviv. At least 10 Israelis were wounded by shrapnel. Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to step up its attacks in Gaza marked a new and risky phase of the operation, given the likelihood of civilian casualties in the densely populated territory of 1.6 million Palestinians. Israel launched the offensive Wednesday in what it said

was an effort to end months of intensifying rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. In the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadliest violence, the Israeli navy fired at a home where it said a top wanted militant was hiding. The missile struck the home of the Daloo family in Gaza City, reducing the structure to rubble. Frantic rescuers, bolstered by bulldozers, pulled the limp bodies of children from the ruins of the house, including a toddler and a 5-year-old, as survivors and bystanders screamed in grief. Later, the bodies of the children were laid out in the morgue of Gaza Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shifa Hospital. Among the 11 dead were four small children and five women, including an 81year-old, Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said. More than a dozen homes of Hamas commanders or families linked to Hamas were struck on Sunday. Though most were empty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their inhabitants having fled to shelter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least three had families in them. AlKidra said 20 of 27 people killed Sunday were civilians, mostly women and children. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Israeli people will pay the priceâ&#x20AC;? for the killing of civilians. Israel sought to place the blame on militants, saying they were intentionally operating in places inhabited by civilians.

ND is No. 1 SOUTH BEND (AP) — Coach Brian Kelly was doing the same thing Notre Dame fans around the country were doing Saturday night, flipping back and forth between the Kansas State and Oregon games and cheering loudly for one of the top two teams in the BCS standings to lose so the Fighting Irish could have a shot at the title game. When both went down, though, he says he felt neither a sense of elation nor satisfaction. It was more a feeling of control. The Fighting Irish (11-0) were now in control of their own destiny, knowing a win over rival Southern California (7-4) puts the Irish in the BCS title game. “We get a chance to play for the national championship provided we win this week,” he said. It’s been 19 years since the Irish were last able to think like that. Actually, 18 years, 11 months and 29 days. But who’s counting? That’s how many days it had been since Notre Dame was last ranked No. 1. That’s a span that began after Boston College shocked the Fighting Irish with a 41-39 victory in 1993 a week after second-ranked Notre Dame upset top-ranked Florida State to claim that No. 1 ranking. That’s the same ranking the Irish held in 1990, 1989, 1988 and for 77 games over the years until ending the longest streak ever without a No. 1 ranking in Notre Dame history with a 38-0 win over Wake Forest on Saturday.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) eludes Indianapolis Colts defensive end Ricardo Mathews (91) to get a pass off during the

second quarter of an NFL football game Sunday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

Pats put up 59 on Indianapolis FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots superb offense finally got some help from the rest of the team. The Patriots used three scoring passes from Tom Brady, two touchdowns on interception returns and another on a punt return to match a team single-game scoring record in a 59-24 rout of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The first matchup between threetime Super Bowl winner Brady and star rookie Andrew Luck was no match. The Patriots (7-3) won their fourth straight game and extended their lead in the AFC East to three games over the other three teams. The Colts (6-4) had their four-game winning streak stopped by the NFL’s best offense and one of its worst defenses. Now New England must hurry to prepare for its Thanksgiving night meeting with the Jets (4-6). New York ended a three-game slide with a 27-13 win over the St. Louis Rams.

For the Patriots, Sunday’s win was their most complete in a season in which they’ve averaged 35.8 points per game and lost their three games by a combined margin of four points. The 59 points equals the team mark set in a 59-0 win over the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 18, 2009. The Patriots scored on a 68-yard punt return by Julian Edelman and on interception returns of 59 yards by newcomer Aqib Talib and 87 yards by Alfonzo Dennard. And Rob Ninkovich’s fifth forced fumble of the season set up Rob Gronkowski’s second scoring grab on the next play. Brady completed 24 of 35 passes for 331 yards and no interceptions. Luck was 27 for 50 for two touchdowns and 334 yards and set an NFL record as the first rookie with five 300-yard games. But he also threw three interceptions. The Colts were competitive — for one half. The Patriots led 24-17 heading into the third quarter. Then the Patriots scored on passes

of 2 yards to Edelman and 24 yards to Gronkowski and Dennard’s interception return. Luck followed with a 43-yard scoring pass to T.Y. Hilton, the second of the game to the fellow rookie, But the Patriots responded with touchdown runs of 3 yards by Stevan Ridley and 4 yards by Shane Vereen. The game began with touchdowns on the first three series — a 1-yard run by Delone Carter of the Colts, a 4-yard pass from Brady to Gronkowski, and a 14-yard pass from Luck to Hilton. Stephen Gostkowski then missed a 36-yard field goal attempt for the Patriots. But their fortunes changed four plays later when Edelman brought a punt back for a touchdown for the third time in his career after the defense forced Luck into a three-andout. And just three plays and 61 seconds after that, the Patriots scored again on Talib’s touchdown as the Patriots took the lead for good 21-14.

Warren Moon also threw for 527 yards for the Houston Oilers in December 1990 against Kansas City. Norm Van Brocklin holds the record with 554 for the Rams in

DeKalb has makings of big year on the hardwood BY MARK MURDOCK markm@kpcnews.net

WATERLOO — DeKalb fans are already thinking big with the entire roster back from last year’s boys basketball team. Even though last year’s club got steadily better and played DeKalb’s trademark stingy defense, and this year’s club has a potentially explosive offense, everything will happen in due time, fifth-year coach Jon Everingham points out. “It’s been pretty exciting. The kids have really put in the work necessary. We’re off to a great start,” Everingham said. “I’m being very cautious that we don’t get ahead of ourselves. Obviously, the expectations are higher than in previous years. At the same time we want to make sure we don’t skip any steps. With everybody back, we’re going to be able to progress much, much faster than in previous years.” The Barons return six seniors, led by Adison Daub and Austin Macy. Daub (16.7 points, 35 percent from three, 3.5 rebounds) is a two-time All-Northeast Hoosier Conference and KPC Media Group All-Area pick, and fought through injury and junk defenses all last season. Macy (11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists), also All-Area and a second-team All-NHC choice, was the team’s top ball-handler and defender. “With Adison and Austin, we’ve got two guys that not only are people going to feel are our best players, but in the preseason and summer they’ve been our hardest workers,” Everingham said. “Any time you’ve got that combination from your senior leaders and best players, I think you’re in for quite a season. “We have a shared leadership. Each of the six seniors brings his own qualities and attributes.

Probably more than any other team I’ve been around, team chemistry is really strong. That’s obviously part of the equation we hope will make us successful.” Daub stands at 959 career points, poised to join the 1,000-point club. “Adison’s nearing his 1,000th point. He’s been a durable player,” Everingham said. “He’s played in every game since Northrop his freshman year. If he stays healthy, he’s got a chance to move up the all-time scoring list. “One thing I like about Adison is he’s not concerned about any of that. He’s strictly a team guy, and all he wants is for us to be successful as a team.” Add in sophomore Cole Hartman, who averaged 11.2 points and a team-best

5.2 rebounds as a freshman while earning second-team All-NHC honors, and the Barons figure to be tough to defend. “We’re looking for those guys to step up offensively and lead us,” Everingham said. “Offensively, we’re going to be fine with our three-headed monster. Keeping those guys healthy and involved in our offense will be a huge key. “My philosophy’s always been to try to take care of the basket first and get the ball inside, whether it’s with dribble penetration or the post feed, and then get some offensive rebounds.” The early focus in practice has been defense, which holds the key to the Barons’ success, Everingham believes. “We’re making sure we build a foundation. Our go-

to thing has got to be at the defensive end. We’ve got to be able to get stops when we need to,” he said. The Barons have the chance to play more uptempo basketball this season to make use of their offensive weapons, but defense has to come first. “We feel like we’re going to field a pretty good rebounding team,” Everingham said. “The key to what we’re talking about with transition basketball is getting stops on the defensive end and then closing out the possession with a rebound. “Once we get that, we feel like we can push the ball in transition, and the ability to create a few more possessions with some guys who can score.” The other seniors back include Spencer Snyder, a pesky defender who — even

at 5-7 — guarded opposing post players last year. Kalib McKown provides a physical presence inside. Dylan Liddell’s passing skills help the Barons when opponents go zone. Henry Smaltz will part of what Everingham expects to be a deeper and more versatile bench this seaon. The Barons have another force inside in 6-foot-4, 225pound Tanner Moore, a junior. Dahlton Daub, who saw some action as a freshman, will lend some shooting off the bench. Hunter Cone, a freshman, has shown strong defensive skills. Everingham also has confidence in going to Carson Forrest, Logan Casper, Logan Gerke and Will Chrisman. “We’ve added some depth to our team. Last year we had games where we got into foul

trouble, and we weren’t real deep off the bench,” Everingham said. The Barons look ready to make an upward move this season, but they’re not the only ones, Everingham points out. “We’re going to be a better team, there’s no doubt in my mind,” he said. “The challenges are, so is everybody else. You look around our conference and sectional, and they were just loaded with talent in the junior class (last season). “Even though we’re better, a lot of teams around us will be better. Even though we have high expectations, we have to focus and continue to improve. That will be a challenge, dealing with the high expectations and understanding it’s going to be a process in a new season.”

More to the Fremont Eagles than Jenkins this season BY KEN FILLMORE kenf@kpcnews.net

FREMONT — There’s a lot of excitement about Fremont’s boys basketball team coming off of winning its first regular season conference championship since sharing it in 1992. A lot of that excitement centers around senior swingman Tyler Jenkins. There’s also a more developed Eagle roster around Jenkins that learned its lessons from last year and wants to accomplish bigger things. “This is probably the most experienced varsity group I have had,” fourthyear FHS coach Ted Bookwalter said. “I expect that to be a good thing. “We have four seniors back with a lot of experience. We have some other letter winners back like Alex Beams and Nate Beatty,” the coach continued. “We had an excellent summer in Fort Wayne. The open gyms were well-attended. Everybody is stronger and thicker. We’re super strong in the guard spots. I feel good about our defense in the post, and we have two guys who are enjoying scoring inside.” The Eagles went 15-7, 91 in the Northeast Corner Conference, last season. The last time Fremont won at least 15 games prior to last season was the 1996-97 campaign. Bigger, physical teams had a way of stopping the up-tempo Eagles in their tracks. Bookwalter called Bremen’s physicality the root cause of a turnaround where the Lions rallied from a 10-point deficit early in the third quarter to run away from Fremont for good in a 74-59 Bremen victory in last year’s Class 2A Westview Sectional semifinals. The Eagles don’t have a true big man, but they have a few guys in and around 6foot-3 who can hold their

own, including seniors Jenkins, Jordon Schmucker (8.7 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 22 blocks, 36 percent from three last season), Josh Midtgard and Sean Sheckles and juniors Logan Peel and Tony LaRose. “We have a little bit better options in the post,” Bookwalter said. “Peel is 242 pounds and 6-foot-3. Midtgard is a shot blocker. Sheckles picked up basketball in his junior year and has come a long way. “Every aspect of Jordon’s game improved. He’s mentally tougher. He’s faster. He can score a little bit better.” But Fremont wants to use its athleticism and quickness to its advantage. “We’ll probably press more. We have six really good guards,” Bookwalter

said. “We need to be more consistent in the half-court, but that’s not how we are going to impose our will.” Jenkins is one of those guards, yet he can also be tagged as a point forward. He can defend in the paint. Jenkins is being looked at by colleges from various levels, but would really like an NCAA Division I opportunity if it is there. In his first three prep seasons, Jenkins became Fremont’s career assists leaders with 256. He has also scored 1,004 points. Last season, Jenkins was named KPC Media Group Prep of the Year after averaging 22.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game while blocking 27 shots. He shot 45.4 percent from the field, including 30 percent from

three-point range, and was a 78 percent free-throw shooter. “Tyler has improved as a finisher. He’s jumping higher. He will be at the rim more this year,” Bookwalter said. “He also has a 3.4 grade point average and is an all-around good catch.” Last year’s starting backcourt is back with Jenkins and fellow seniors Jake Bryant and Austin Corcimigilia. Bryant averaged 11.5 points, 2.6 steals and 2.1 assists per game last season while shooting 47 percent from the floor. His quickness can create problems for opponents on both ends of the floor. Corcimiglia averaged 5.9 points and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 37 percent from three-point

range (31-84) last season. He has added more to his repertoire to go with his long-range shooting prowess. “Austin is much bigger and stronger,” Bookwalter said. Fremont will have backcourt support in reserve from juniors Beams and Beatty and senior Seath Wiseman. “Alex is a scoring machine and is ambidextrous,” Bookwalter said. “Beatty had a fantastic football season, yet really loves basketball. People will be a little surprised when they watch him play. “Wiseman will come after guys. Junior Justin Papenbrock has improved tons.” Bookwalter knows there will be a lot challenges in the NECC. Fremont’s non-

conference schedule will be tough as well, starting with defending Class 3A state runner-up Norwell on the road in the season opener Wednesday night. “Westview has good guys coming back. West Noble has everybody back. Armando Rosales is a very nice post player with a soft touch,” Bookwalter said. “I think Angola will be good. I know Ed (Bentley, new Hornet coach) is a competitive guy and he will have them lifting weights and playing defense. “But here’s where we are at mentally. We want to beat Norwell. They’ve beaten us in the summer and last year and our senior leadership wants to get this done. The guys probably don’t even know who we play next (after Norwell).”

Knicks rebound from first loss BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony (7) looks to pass as Indiana Pacers forward Paul George (24) defends in the first half of their NBA basketball game Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York.

This was ugly, even before Jason Kidd’s unfortunate headband style. That’s fine with the New York Knicks, who are winning even when they don’t look good doing it. Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks bounced back from their first loss of the season, beating the Indiana Pacers 8876 on Sunday. “Last year we let this game slip away,” center Tyson Chandler said. “It’s definitely the maturity of the team and obviously the maturity of the players. We got a lot of vets around here that understand that these games add up. These are the games at the end of the year when you are in that dog fight and jockeying for position, these are the games that put you over or under.” JR Smith added 13 points and Raymond Felton had 11 for the Knicks in their only

a sloppy win. The Falcons (9-1) turned it over a total of six times, but Michael Turner scored on a 1-yard run with 6:40 remaining to give Atlanta its first lead of the game. Ryan set up the score with four completions for 64 yards, including a 9-yarder to Tony Gonzalez on third-and-5 at the Arizona 10. Coming off a bye, Arizona (4-6) lost its sixth straight game. The Cardinals tried to bolster their anemic offense by switching quarterbacks, replacing John Skelton with rookie Ryan Lindley, but Larry Fitzgerald couldn’t hang on to a fourthdown pass after Ryan’s fifth pick. PACKERS 24, LIONS 20 Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes, including a 22-yarder to Randall Cobb with 1:55 left to lift Green Bay. Mason Crosby made a 39yard field goal with 19 seconds to go after missing two field goals earlier in the game. Matthew Stafford couldn’t put the Lions ahead on either of their last two drives in a game he’d like to forget. COWBOYS 23, BROWNS 20 OT Dan Bailey kicked a 38yard field goal in overtime and Dallas overcame a critical fumble by Tony Romo that sparked a wild ending. Bailey’s winning kick with 6:07 remaining in OT came after both teams punted once in the first overtime game at Cowboys Stadium. Bailey hit a tying 32-yard field goal with 2 seconds left in regulation. Dallas (5-5) rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit and

went ahead 17-13 on Romo’s 28-yard pass to Dez Bryant. A fumble by Browns rookie Brandon Weeden on a sack appeared to put the Cowboys in control, but Romo gave it right back with a fumble on another sack. The Cowboys made one goal-line stand in the final minutes, but the Browns got another chance and went ahead 20-17 on Weeden’s 17-yard pass to Benjamin Watson. BUCCANEERS 27, PANTHERS 21 OT Josh Freeman threw a 15yard touchdown pass to Dallas Clark in overtime to cap a comeback. It was Freeman’s third touchdown pass of the game for the Buccaneers (6-4). SAINTS 38, RAIDERS 17 Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Malcolm Jenkins returned an interception for another score to get the Saints back to .500. Lance Moore caught two touchdown passes and Mark Ingram ran for a score as the Saints (5-5) won for the fifth time in six games and are in position to make a lateseason playoff run despite the season-long distraction from the bounty scandal. The Raiders (3-7) lost their third straight game under first-year coach Dennis Allen as their banged-up defense got picked apart by Brees’ precision passing. Oakland has allowed 135 points in those defeats, the most in a three-game span for the franchise since allowing 141 in the first three games in 1961. BRONCOS 30, CHARGERS 23 Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns and Von

Miller had three sacks to take the league lead with 13. Denver took a three-game lead in the AFC West by sweeping the Chargers. Manning threw for 270 yards. He got off to a slow start, throwing an interception that Eric Weddle returned for a score and an early 7-0 lead. But the Broncos (7-3) took a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter and never trailed again. Manning won his 148th regular-season game as a starting quarterback, tying John Elway for second on the all-time list. Brett Favre has 186. REDSKINS 31, EAGLES 6 Robert Griffin III threw four touchdown passes, and Washington broke a threegame losing streak. Griffin completed 14 of 15 passes for 200 yards and also ran 11 times for 85 yards. He threw for scores of 6, 49, 61 and 17 yards — one in each quarter. JETS 27, RAMS 13 Mark Sanchez directed a turnover-free offense and Bilal Powell ran for the first two touchdowns of his career as the Jets ended a threegame losing streak. BENGALS 28, CHIEFS 6 Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns and A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth straight game. Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following a four-game losing streak.

NASCAR: Gordon picks up first win at Homestead FROM PAGE B1

always been just average. Then came Keselowski, the blue collar, Twitterloving, Michigan native who visited Penske in 2008 convinced the NASCAR team could win, too. Three years later, they hoisted the Sprint Cup trophy together at HomesteadMiami Speedway following Keselowski’s 15th-place finish Sunday night. “It’s all about the people in our organization and obviously Brad coming on our board three years ago, and we set a plan and we stuck to it,” the 75-year-old Penske said. “To win this championship is amazing.” Keselowski needed 125 starts to win his first championship, the fewest starts since four-time champion Jeff Gordon won his first title in 93 starts in 1995. Keselowski also won a second-tier Nationwide title in 2010, his first season with Penske and the owner’s first official NASCAR championship. Gordon, who avoided suspension this week but was fined $100,000 by NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Clint Bowyer last week at

Phoenix, overcame the controversy to win the race in a 20th anniversary celebration for sponsor Dupont and Hendrick Motorsports. It was Gordon’s first victory at Homestead, which leaves Kentucky as the only active NASCAR track where he’s yet to win. Who did Gordon beat? Bowyer, of course. And Bowyer’s secondplace finish moved him to a career-best second in the final standings. Third-place went to Ryan Newman, who got his break in NASCAR with Penske and spent seven seasons driving for the owner. “He deserves this probably as much as anybody else, if not more because of what he’s done for motor racing in general, NASCAR, his dedication to all forms of race cars is probably more than anybody else in the history of auto racing,” Newman said. “I know this is probably one of the sweetest moments in his racing career.” Keselowski started the race up 20 points on Johnson, who blew a tire and crashed last week at Phoenix to give Keselowski a nice cushion

and needing only to finish 15th or higher in the finale to wrap up his first championship. But the Penske team took nothing for granted — not after Will Power crashed in the IndyCar finale to blow a 17-point lead and lose the championship. And this one got tight, too, especially when Keselowski ran out of gas on pit road during green flag pit stops. It put him a lap down with Johnson leading, and Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe frantically tried to figure out how dire the situation had become. Wolfe crunched the numbers, figuring the No. 2 Dodge would cycle out in the mid-20s, a lap down from the leaders.

home game in a span of seven games. After falling 105-95 at Memphis on Friday, the Knicks (7-1) go right back on the road to start another threegame trip Tuesday in New Orleans. Neither team shot 40 percent, but the Knicks, perhaps sluggish after a quick turnaround following Saturday morning’s return home, built a big early lead, went up by as much as 20 and were never challenged. “Today was one of them days where we had to do it on the defensive end,” Anthony said. “Offensively we were trying to find it, shots that we missed that we normally make. But on the defensive end for us to be in sync the way we are right now, especially this early in the season, that’s a good thing. We want to keep building on that.” The only thing they want to change is Kidd’s wardrobe, after watching a cut on his

points in Indiana’s sixth straight road loss. RAPTORS 97, MAGIC 86 Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn is already getting tired of delivering the same postgame message: slow starts are making life miserable for the Magic. DeMar DeRozan scored 20 points, Amir Johnson had 14 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and the Toronto Raptors beat the slumping Magic 97-86 on Sunday. Orlando has trailed after the first quarter in seven games this season. Sunday was no exception, with the Raptors racing out to a 32-22 lead. “There’s no other way we’re going to win if we’re not prepared,” Vaughn said. “If we’re not ready to play at the start of the game and committed at the start of the game, not waiting till halftime and what happens after, then we won’t have a chance.”

No. 6 N.C. State falls in Puerto Rico BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Le’Bryan Nash has 23 points and Marcus Smart added 20 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and Oklahoma State earned a 7656 win over No. 6 N.C. State in the title game of the Puerto Rico Tipoff on Sunday. Phil Forte had 17 points for the Cowboys (4-0), who outrebounded the Wolfpack 45-34. No. 2 LOUISVILLE 80, MIAMI (Ohio) 39 Russ Smith had a gamehigh 23 points and Wayne Blackshear added 14 points and six rebounds and Louisville defeated Miami. Smith was 5 of 7 from 3point range. The junior guard has been the leading scorer in all three Cardinals victories and is averaging 21.3 points per game. Blackshear started for the second consecutive game at

small forward and made a career-high four 3-pointers for the Cardinals (3-0). No. 8 SYRACUSE 88, WAGNER 57 Brandon Triche had 21 points and seven rebounds, James Southerland added 15 points and three blocks, and Syracuse beat Wagner. Syracuse has won 23 straight home games and 34 in a row in the Carrier Dome against nonconference foes. The Orange (2-0) opened their season on the road a week ago with a 62-49 win over then-No. 20 San Diego State on the flight deck of the former aircraft carrier USS Midway. No. 9 DUKE 88, FLA. GULF COAST 67 Mason Plumlee scored a career-high 28 points, and No. 9 Duke routed Florida Gulf Coast 88-67 on Sunday night for its school-record

96th straight nonconference win at home. Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon added 19 points and Ryan Kelly had 14 points for the Blue Devils (30). No. 10 FLORIDA 66, MIDDLE TENNESSEE 45 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Kenny Boynton had 20 points and Will Yeguete scored 11 and grabbed 13 rebounds Sunday to help Florida pull away to a victory over Middle Tennessee. Boynton scored the final 13 of the game for the Gators (3-0), who opened the second half with a 14-2 run and never looked back. Middle Tennessee (2-1) trimmed a 15-point deficit to nine before Mike Rosario finished a fast-break with a dunk and Boynton hit a 3pointer to begin his gameending spurt.

IRISH: Trojans will be without star quarterback FROM PAGE B1

The Irish aren’t just No. 1, they are a unanimous No. 1 in the Associated Press poll after improving to 11-0 for the first time since 1989. A week earlier some scoffed at Kelly for ranking the Irish No. 1 in the coaches’ poll. This week 55 of his 59 colleagues agreed with him. Kelly said he didn’t feel any sense of vindication. “I was just being consistent with my rankings. I told our team that I felt like they were the best team in the country because I knew more about our team than the other two,” he said. The longest Notre Dame had ever gone previously without being ranked No. 1 was 10 years and 30 days, which was the gap between the time No. 19 Purdue beat a top-ranked Notre Dame squad coached by Terry Brennan in 1954 and the Irish coached by Ara Parseghian reclaimed the top-ranking after a 40-0 win over Navy in 1964. That team’s hopes for a national title fell just short when the top-ranked Irish were upset by a Southern California 20-17 when Craig Fertig completed a 15-yard TD pass to Rod Sherman with 1:33 left and the Irish finished the season ranked No. 3. USC will be trying to end Notre Dame’s title hopes again this week and have the manpower to do it. After all, the Trojans were the preseason No. 1, while the Irish started the year unranked. But the Irish are undefeated, while the Trojans have lost three of their last four and will be

head force him into the headband that had its own Twitter account by the end of the game. “Not a good look,” Anthony said. “Today he had to do what he had to do, but we’re not going to allow that.” Paul George scored 20 points for the Pacers, who remained inept offensively as they played without leading scorer Danny Granger. They hoped they had broken out with an impressive 103-point performance against Dallas on Friday, but managed only 30 first-half points and committed 19 turnovers in the game. “We turned the ball over way too much,” George said. “When you look at it, we got 71 attempts and they got 90 attempts and when you are playing a team as dangerous as New York is, you give them 20 more shots, of course you are going to get the results you got.” David West added 14

without quarterback Matt Barkley, who was knocked out of the game in a 38-28 loss to UCLA on Saturday. But the Trojans have dominated the rivalry in recent years, posting a 12-51 record over Notre Dame since the Irish were last ranked No. 1. That includes a 38-0 loss by Notre Dame in 2007, a 38-3 loss in 2008, 31-point losses in 2002, ‘03 and ‘04 and the 34-31 loss in 2005 that became known as the “Bush Push” because USC tailback Reggie Bush nudged quarterback Matt Leinart into the end zone with 3 seconds left. During

that time the Trojans have won national championships in 2003 and 2004, finished No. 2 in 2005 and No. 3 in 2007 and 2008 and fourth in 2002 and 2006. Notre Dame finished No. 2 in 1993 and No. 9 in 2005. That’s it for top 10 finishes. So there’s no arguing USC has been the better team in recent years. The Trojans have won nine of the last 10 games in the rivalry, the only win for the Irish was a 20-16 victory in Los Angeles two years ago. Despite that, Kelly said the current Irish squad doesn’t feel dominated by the Trojans.

Heather Richardson of the U.S. greets fans after winning the women's 1,000 meters race of the ISU Speedskating World Cup at Thialf stadium in Heerenveen, northern Netherlands, Sunday.

American speedskater wins at 1,000 meters at World Cup HEERENVEEN, Netherlands (AP) — American speedskater Heather Richardson won the women’s 1,000 meters at the first World Cup meet of the season Sunday, and Joji Kato of Japan captured the men’s 500 race. Richardson finished in 1 minute, 15.27 seconds to beat Hong Zhang of China and Lotte van Beek of the Netherlands. Kato’s time was 34.98 seconds to top the overall standings in the event through two races after his fifth-place finish Saturday. He was followed Sunday by Dutch skater Jan Smeekens and Mo TaeBum of South Korea. Maurice Vriend of the Netherlands won the men’s 1,500 in 1 minute, 46.13 seconds. Norway’s Havard Bokko and Sverre Lunde Pedersen were next.

University of Tennessee cans football coach KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Derek Dooley is out at Tennessee. The university announced the anticipated firing Sunday after Dooley posted the storied program’s longest run of consecutive losing seasons in over a century . Dooley, 44, had a 15-21 record that included an 0-15 mark against Top 25 teams. Dooley was 4-19 in Southeastern Conference competition during his threeyear tenure and had lost 14 of his last 15 league games. The school will hold a news conference Sunday at 2 p.m. Dooley had four years left on his contract, which includes a $5 million buyout. “We very much appreciate the effort and energy that Derek Dooley and his staff have poured into our football program at the University of Tennessee,” athletic director Dave Hart said in a statement. “Derek and I met early this morning, and I informed him that I believed a change in leadership, despite the positive contributions he has made to the overall health of the program, was in the best long-term interests of Tennessee football. We will immediately begin the search for the best possible candidate to assume this leadership role.”

Stenson ends golf drought in South Africa JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Henrik Stenson held on to his three-shot overnight lead to win the European Tour’s South African Open on Sunday and end a three-year wait for a tournament title. The Swede finished with a 1-under 71 for a 17-under total of 271 and his first victory since the 2009 Players Championship. It was also Stenson’s first win on the European Tour in five years. “2011 was a tough year with not much good going on on the course for me,” Stenson said. “I felt I was getting closer and closer and obviously I’m delighted to get a win before the end of the year.” George Coetzee was second at 14 under after the South African’s challenge never really got going in the final round. Coetzee put himself in contention for his first European title with a courserecord 63 on Saturday, and he eagled the par-5 third hole Sunday. But he could manage only two more birdies and had three bogeys for a 71.

Rose-ban memorabilia fails to sell at auction NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Rose’s copy of the 1990 agreement in which he accepted a lifetime ban from baseball failed to sell at auction because no bid met the minimum. Goldin Auctions said Sunday the highest bid was $236,000, a price that would have been raised to $258,600 including the auctioneer’s 10 percent fee. Bidding began Oct. 16 and ran through Saturday. Ken Goldin says in an email to The Associated Press that “I am working on selling it privately for the consignor.” The seller has not been identified, but Goldin says it is not Rose. Among the items that did sell were Barry Lyons’ 1986 Mets World Series ring ($22,840), a 2009 Derek Jeter gameused bat ($8,982) and Michael Jordan’s American Express card ($3,146).

Guest Opinion •

Attitude key after elections n intriguing conversation about the next step in the fiscal drama is taking place among our elected leaders. At this early point it is mostly at an exploratory level, but it’s no less real for that. A day after an election in which a changing electorate essentially cemented the status quo in place the stock market swooned. Its behavior was fueled by doubt that Capitol Hill and the White House would be able to avoid the “fiscal cliff” of rising taxes and deep spending cuts slated for the end of the year. Really, though, it was more than that: like the election itself, it reflected deep skepticism about our elected leaders’ ability to address the difficult problems that confront our nation. The market’s dive was followed almost immediately by an interesting dance between the President and Republican leaders in Congress. Where House Speaker John Boehner conceded that Republicans might accept increased tax revenues, the President said LEE he would take a serious look at reform of entitlements. HAMILTON These are tantalizing signs that last year’s rigid partisan stances could soften — that flexibility, so long elusive, might have a chance of a comeback. As they often do, the elections created an opening, a moment in political life when fundamental questions come to the fore. The question most people in Washington and many outside it are focused on is as basic as they get: Can government still work? Are political leaders capable of setting aside their differences and finding common ground? In Congress the answer, I believe, will lie with its members, and whether they correctly read the electoral tea leaves to conclude that Americans want solutions, not obstructionism. Their mindset will be key. If the majority on Capitol Hill — whatever their party — decide to be pragmatic and cooperative, Congress may pull itself out of the swamp of disdain in which most Americans hold it. If, instead, they opt for ideology and confrontation, the dysfunction will continue. Attitude is all-important. When members see politics as a steady quest for improving our country and our society, there’s hope. That is when they’re prepared to ignore all the forces competing for influence on Capitol Hill, and search most diligently for remedies to the scores of truly difficult issues that we need Washington to resolve. “And there’s a politician that has read and thought,” William Butler Yeats wrote. We can only hope new and returning members of Congress will do the same — read, look clearly at the world around them and think for themselves. There are too many forces conspiring to keep them from doing so: party leaders, lobbyists, moneyed interests that are already preparing for the next election, opinionated media personalities, constituents pursuing their own interests, talking points prepared for their caucuses, the frenetic pace of Washington, the crisis of the moment. Yet unless politicians can find the time — and, more importantly, the inclination — to chart their own course through the thickets of policy that confront them every day, they cannot collaborate with one another to help Congress do so, too. If they’re locked in by the dictates of partisan calculation, the rigors of ideological purity, or the constant need to please funders, then those are the interests they will protect. It’s anyone’s guess how Congress will deal with this chance to start afresh. That’s up to each of its members. The pressures that drove them toward hostilities before the election haven’t gone away. But the signals being sent by political leaders suggest they understand that Americans expect flexibility and pragmatism. And the opening to take individual responsibility for political progress and set Congress on a more productive course hasn’t closed yet. It’s a gift of the elections. Let’s hope they accept it.

Letters to The Editor • Imagine our world if we truly loved one another To the editor: Some people seem to think I don’t believe in God or Jesus. But I do. I believe in a creator God, and I believe Jesus was the greatest man who ever lived. I believe Jesus was a human being. (He was voted to be God in 325 AD at the Nicene Council.) Recent news indicating Jesus was married comes as no surprise. I’ve read reports stating it would have been unusual in Jesus’ time for a man of his stature not to be married; it would have been noted several times by the Bible’s many authors. For me to think Jesus was sent by God makes Jesus’ life a mere one-act-play whereby God arranged Jesus’ life and death in order to teach us a lesson. It makes him into a puppet, acting as God directed! I’d rather believe Jesus learned to live as he did! I believe like many of our Founding Fathers: Believing God would impregnate a 13 or 14-year-old girl to bear His Son — placing her in jeopardy of being stoned to death by impregnating her prior to marriage — is an immoral belief.

When studying in Germany, while reading religious history texts, I read that Jesus did not die at his crucifixion. He was removed from his grave because he was still alive. Written records once reported that Jesus escaped to the northwestern shores of the Mediterranean Sea area and quietly lived the rest of his life with his family. The church had this information, but in the Dark Ages destroyed it for fear it would become public. I learned that crucifixions by the Romans in Jesus’ era did not include nailing to a cross. Their hands and feet were tied to the cross and death occurred over long, painful hours from suffocation caused by compression of the chest cavity. Believing Jesus was a living, breathing human being makes him a far more believable example — meaning he rose to his position by choice and hard work, not because he was pre-endowed by God with virtues all of us should embrace. Believing Jesus was born with supernatural lets us excuse ourselves as only human and unable to become kind and loving toward all. Believing thus gives us an excuse not to work hard and overcome our learned hatreds, prejudices and “mis-beliefs.”

Jesus was hated by many of the religious people of his day because he taught our religion is reflected in the manner we treat others on a daily basis, not by the religious group we belong to, or how often we attend services or perform rituals, or what holy book we embrace, or what name we call our Creator. Jesus advised us to spend our religious moments “in a closet” to quietly and privately reflect on our lives, our relationship with God and all of his children. Last year it was reported that a man of the cloth passed out $100 bills at Christmas time. Asked why, he said “I want to go to heaven.” He was passing out money for a selfish reason. Can you imagine what our world would be like if we all learned to truly love one another and worked on overcoming our hatreds, selfish instincts, and a need to feel superior to others; if we simply lived in a way to make this world a better place for everyone? That is the magic Jesus tried to teach — a magic we can all believe in, a magic that helps everyone live richer, fuller lives. E. Gene Gorrell Fremont

2016 will be an especially intriguing contest BY DAVID M. SHRIBMAN

Drive through town, turn up the hill and swing into an old orchard homestead that has been in the hands of only two families since 1760. The air and the huge wooden crates out by the barn are filled with the autumn aroma of apples. Here, on Gould Hill, New Hampshire’s choices for the season are on display: McIntosh, the establishment selection, here in North America almost as long as this orchard has been in operation. Hampshire, the native favorite but a relative newcomer. Empire, with a name reflecting the muscular outlook of the country. Fuji, an immigrant with popular appeal. Northern Spy, hard and tart. Plus others: Winesap. York. Cortland. Baldwin. After a long, difficult political contest, this choice — which apple is richer, juicier, more versatile, more enduring, better for baking — is about the only decision New Hampshire is ready to make right now. On the horizon on a day like this, which in the crisp glow of a New England afternoon is etched with the peaks of the White Mountains, is Thanksgiving. At the foot of Hardy Hill up in Grafton County that means two kinds of stuffing (Jane DeGange’s mother’s recipe and a newfangled mushroom and leek bread pudding variety), plus squash made with cream cheese and nutmeg, and boiled onions — not the dinky kind from the bottle on the supermarket shelf or freezer, but big onions slathered in heavy cream and seasoned with salt, pepper and butter. I need not add that dessert is apple pie with crumb crust, pecan pie, mince pie (only the husband eats that one) and the famous pumpkin chiffon pie that, every year, dirties every dish in the house, or maybe it only seems that way. There was frost here the other day, and up in Enfield there is a thin crust of snow on Whaleback Mountain, and on a hill in Lebanon, Raymond Farr is cutting and splitting two truckloads of logs into 30 cords of wood. But right now the priorities are cider (richer now in autumn because the apples have matured, thicker and more pungent than it was

in the first press late in summer) and high school football (with the town rivalry games completed, the divisional playoffs still linger). So dare we say the New Hampshire primary is but 38 months off? Dare we toss around candidates’ names like field apples, known in these parts as “blow downs,” rotting on the moist, mushy earth? Dare we shatter the tranquility with the horrible word “viable,” used only in hospital waiting rooms and political campaigns? Maybe we do, given that former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Sen. Mario Rubio of Florida already have asked to be invited to Lincoln Day Dinners and only the serious or foolhardy volunteer to travel to New Hampshire in February. We plunge in with reluctance, but also with the knowledge that 2016 will be an especially intriguing contest, both party nominations being open with no incumbent eligible to run. And with the knowledge that New Hampshire next time will provide unusually interesting terrain, for after this month’s election every member of the congressional delegation (and the governor) is a woman, the first time that has happened anywhere. That sounds revolutionary, especially for a state that until recently was steeped in a certain brand of conservatism, the kind that resists change. But in 2008 New Hampshire became the first state with a female majority in a legislative chamber. So women are a powerful part of the political scene here, which is a fact that surely has not escaped the attention of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who won here in 2008, and Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who went to college up in Hanover and is fired with ambition if not visibility. Because columns of this sort are supposed to be loaded with names, here they are. Republican candidates might include Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Scott Walker, Mike Pence, Chris Christie and Paul Ryan, whose great advantage is that his sister works for Dunkin’ Donuts, the most revered company in the region. Democrats might

include Andrew Cuomo, Martin O’Malley and even Joe Biden, whose six visits since Labor Day cannot be a coincidence. Does it matter that John Hickenlooper has started to make contact with locals, and do you have any idea who he is? Yet it isn’t personalities but politics that first must be worked out. The Democrats must contemplate the world after Barack Obama and decide whether they can sustain their coalition of women, minorities and immigrants with him in retirement. But the biggest challenge is the Republicans’. They cannot again tie their fortunes to a base that is aging rapidly and losing its vitality. They cannot afford to get clobbered among voters under 30 and among minorities, even though there aren’t many minorities here, where the voting-age population is 96 percent white. Among the moderate Republicans who remain fixtures here, there is worry the party just spent a year talking about the destruction of the American character and then was surprised that those Americans supposedly undermining the national character turned against them. The view here: The Republican campaign was exclusionary, not inclusive, a major misreading of what politics is about. Memo to Republicans contemplating a New Hampshire visit: Republicans here are concerned about fiscal issues, not social issues. Likely GOP primary voters here support abortion rights more than Americans as a whole, and they don’t recoil at gay marriage. New Hampshire Republicans didn’t even mount an effort to repeal gay marriage when they had a chance. One last thing. The other day some folks around here were sitting with their coffee cups wondering — actually speculating — who would be the first damn fool to cross state lines to write about the 2016 election. Now they know. DAVID M. SHRIBMAN is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. His email is dshribman@post-gazette.com.

Family insists ill woman is ‘just fine’

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 40year-old woman, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after two suicide attempts. I have tried to get my parents and siblings to attend a session with me so they would understand my diagnosis, but all I hear is, ‘‘You don'’ need all those drugs. You’re FINE — just a little different than the rest of us,’’ and, ‘‘You have always been ‘odd’ and we like you that way.’’ I have given up trying to get their support, but my gifted 14-year-old nephew has been asking questions about my diagnosis. I’m not sure how much to tell him, especially about the suicide attempts, one of which landed me in the hospital. Any advice about what I should tell him and how to get family support? — HEARING VOICES IN ILLINOIS DEAR HEARING VOICES: Tell your nephew the truth. If he is as intellectually gifted as you say, he will go online and start research-

check it out. The organization was established in 1979, and it may be able to help you get through to your family that your problems are not imaginary. DEAR ABBY: I host a lot of gatherings at my home. I put a lot of thought and effort into them. Some are themed parties, such as Valentine’s Day or a luau. Do you think it's rude for guests to show up 10 or more minutes early? I enjoy hosting, but I need the last few minutes before party time for ME, so I can get dressed, light candles, put out the food or just plain relax for a few minutes. Your thoughts, please. — WONDERING IN WESLEY CHAPEL, FLA. DEAR WONDERING: I agree with you. Guests with good manners show up at the appointed time. While arriving 15 minutes late is acceptable, to arrive early is an imposition on one’s host.

THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM

Diet for diverticular disease can include seeds bad for people with diverticular disease. In this disease, small balloon-like pouches push out from the wall of the large intestine. These little pouches can bleed or become infected, inflamed and painful. The theory behind the dietary advice was that a small ASK and hard-topiece DOCTOR K. digest of food — like a kernel corn, or a Dr. Anthony of piece of a Komaroff nut or popcorn — could get stuck in the neck of the pouch. That, in turn, could cause the pouch to become infected and inflamed. It was a reasonable theory, and in the absence of

evidence against it, I thought it probably was true. Like your doctors, for many years I told my patients with diverticular disease to avoid these sources of fiber. However, a major study based here at Harvard called the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study found no link between these foods in the diet and flare-ups of diverticular disease. If anything, people who ate seeds, nuts and popcorn had fewer flare-ups. Furthermore, two experts have stated in one of the major textbooks of medicine, called UpToDate, the following: “The authors have seen tens of thousands of diverticula and never seen a single seed (stuck in the neck of the pouch).” So I no longer advise patients with diverticular disease to avoid these foods. They are all good sources of fiber. Several large studies indicate that people who

DEAR READERS: You are sending me lots of great questions. But even though I write six columns a week, I can’t answer them all. Sometimes my answers prompt you to send additional questions — and comments. Sometimes your comments take issue with something I’ve said. Periodically, like today and tomorrow, I’ll devote the column to the questions and comments you’ve sent me. • Seeds, corn, nuts and diverticular disease. In a recent column I recommended a high-fiber diet for diverticular disease. Among the good sources of fiber I recommended were seeds, corn, nuts and popcorn. Several readers who have diverticular disease wrote me that their doctors had told them to avoid these foods. Their doctors were taught the same thing I was: Seeds, corn, nuts and popcorn were

In a recent column on urinary catheters, I explained that lubricant was used to ease the passage of the catheter up the urethra and into the bladder. The urethra is the natural tube through which bladder urine exits the body. What happens is that the lubricant is placed all around the front part of the catheter. When the catheter is pushed into the urethra, the lubricant enters the urethra and coats its walls. Several of you pointed out my reference to an “injection of lubricant into the urethra.” Thanks for pointing out that my use of the word “injection” was imprecise. DR.

More than a year later, Alabama town still waits on FEMA CORDOVA, Ala. (AP) — Main Street in this old mill town looks about the same as it did the day after tornadoes killed about 250 people across Alabama a year and a half ago: Battered red bricks and broken glass litter the pavement, and the buildings still standing are rickety and roofless. The entire one-block downtown, still deemed unsafe, remains sealed off by a chain-link fence. City officials blame the Federal Emergency Management Agency, saying the money to demolish skeletons of the old buildings is mired in miles of red tape. When one request for photos or historical documentation is met, FEMA makes another, the mayor

and others in this town of 2,100 say. One crop of workers is replaced by another, forcing locals to constantly explain their problems to new people. “It’s very frustrating,” said Mayor Drew Gilbert, a 25year-old Cordova native who served on the City Council before taking office this month. “You would think it’s been touched and seen now by everyone who needs to touch and see it.” On April 27, 2011, dozens of tornadoes ripped across the southeast, spawned by freakish weather. Hundreds were killed and thousands of homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, causing more than $1 billion in damage. While cleanup and

demolition projects are moving along in devastated communities like Tuscaloosa and Hackleburg — where wrecked homes and businesses are mostly gone and new ones are slowly being built — Cordova’s downtown stands out as an eerie reminder of the destruction. FEMA officials say they’re only doing their job in Cordova, documenting damaged buildings and covering all the details before providing money to tear them down. “This project involves demolition of multiple historically significant structures and requires that FEMA consider all pertinent environmental and historic preservation laws before

funding the project,” the agency said in response to questions from The Associated Press. Yet the process has been baffling not just for local residents but to the head of historic preservation for the state, Elizabeth Brown. “I think FEMA needs to give their people in the field more latitude,” said Brown, preservation officer for the Alabama Historical Commission. “It seems things have to keep going back up the chain.” Brown said the demolition process seems to be taking longer than usual in Cordova, but government rules don’t set out a strict timetable for such decisions since needs and damage can vary so greatly from one

place to another. Town leaders say FEMA has never given them a firm timetable. Located in coal country about 35 miles northwest of Birmingham, Cordova began in the 1880s at a spot where two railroad lines converged. A textile mill operated in town for about seven decades before closing in 1962. The mill’s failure displaced 800 workers and sent Cordova into a tailspin. Most of the 19 or so buildings in the downtown block were vacant and deteriorating by the time the twisters struck last year. Many people left town for work in metro Birmingham or nearby Jasper before the twisters, and there are even fewer jobs in Cordova now

aside from schools, a bank, a pharmacy and a health clinic. The town’s sole grocery store was wiped out and has yet to reopen; a convenience store near the battered downtown block has closed, too. Cordova Fire Chief Dean Harbison, who also serves as the town’s recovery coordinator, said FEMA was helpful at first. “They’ve provided us some money,” Harbison said. “But as far as recovery, they’ve slowed us down.” A long-term plan sponsored by FEMA initially recommended reclaiming downtown Cordova, but Haribson said an in-depth examination revealed major structural problems and city officials decided to demolish the entire block.
