AUBURN — One hundred years ago, the Auburn Lodge 566 Loyal Order of Moose was born. A year later, the lodge celebrated its fi rst birthday with a party at its fi rst home on the southwest corner of Cedar and 10th streets.
Local news reports at the time said the celebration included “with speeches, singing, banqueting and rejoicing” over the many good things the lodge experienced its fi rst year.
On Dec. 17, the lodge will host another celebration in honor of its century of service with an open house at the Auburn Moose Family Center, 402 S. Main St. Community members are invited to visit the lodge between 3 and 10 p.m. An informal program will take place at 7 p.m.
Auburn Moose Lodge adminis-trator Mack Short joined the Moose in 1972.
“Many Moose members grew up in the Moose because their parents were Moose members,”
Short said. “It’s a family-ori-ented group. Kids have always been welcome. I grew up in the Moose.”
Short’s father was a
Moose member for more that 50 years. His mother was a Women of the Moose member for more than 60 years, he added.
“It’s a good organization,”
Short said. “We do a lot of things for the community. … It’s a safe place.”
The family center also is a place to socialize, with social quarters, a bar, kitchen, meeting area and space for hosting dances and other events.
Currently the Auburn lodge has 360 men as members and 230 Women of the Moose members.
Short hopes the community will visit the lodge’s family center during the celebration open house

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans erupted in song, dance and tears on Friday in public and emotional celebrations of the life of Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who bridged this country’s black-white divide and helped avert a race war.
People of all colors hugged and shared emotional moments as anti-apartheid leaders like retired archbishop Desmond Tutu called for the 51 million South Africans to adhere to the values of unity and democracy that Mandela embodied. The tributes to Mandela that came from people across the spectrum showed that he had affected people deeply.
“What I liked most about Mandela was his forgiveness, his passion, his diversity, the impact of what he did,” said Ariel Sobel, a white man who was born in 1993, a year before Mandela was elected president. “I am not worried about what will happen next. We will continue as a nation. We knew this was coming. We are prepared.”
Sobel was with a crowd of people who had gathered at Mandela’s home in the leafy Johannesburg neighborhood of Houghton where Mandela spent his last sickly months. A dozen doves were released into the skies and people sang tribal songs, the
national anthem, God Bless Africa — the anthem of the anti-apartheid struggle — and Christian hymns.
Many wore traditional garb of Zulu, Xhosa and South Africa’s other ethnic groups. One carried a sign saying: “He will rule the universe with God.”
In Soweto, the rough and tumble black township where Mandela used to live, pockets of dancers and singers shuffl ed
through the street, celebrating Mandela’s life. Dozens of kids held oversized pictures of the anti-apartheid icon.
“I’m sorry, I’m too emotional. The tears come too easily,” Themba Radebe, a 60-year-old who was fi lming the street celebration with his phone, told a reporter. He later decided to share his thoughts.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market is proving surpris-ingly resilient.
Solid job growth in November cut the U.S. unemployment rate to 7 percent, a fi ve-year low. The robust gain suggested that the economy may have begun to accelerate. As more employers step up hiring, more people have money to spend to drive the economy.
Employers added 203,000 jobs last month after adding 200,000 in October, the Labor Depart-ment said Friday. November’s job gain helped lower the unemployment rate from 7.3 percent in October. The economy has added a four-month average of 204,000 jobs from August through November, up sharply from 159,000 a month from April through July.
“It’s hinting very, very strongly that the economy is starting to ramp up, that growth is getting better, that businesses are hiring,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors.
The job growth has also fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will scale back its economic stimulus when it meets later this month.
It “gives the Fed all the evidence it needs to begin tapering its asset purchases at the next … meeting,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.
Stock investors were heartened by the news. The Dow Jones industrial average surged nearly 178 points in early afternoon trading.
The unemployment rate has fallen nearly a full percentage point since the Fed began buying bonds in September 2012 and has reached 7 percent earlier than most analysts had expected.
In June, Chairman Ben Bernanke had suggested that the Fed would end its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases after the unemployment rate reached 7 percent. The Fed’s bond purchases have been intended to keep borrowing rates low.
Bernanke later backed away from the 7 percent target. He cautioned that the Fed would weigh numerous economic factors in any decision it makes about its bond purchases. Many economists still think the Fed won’t begin to cut back until January or later.
While the Fed weighs its options, U.S. employers may fi nally be gaining enough confi dence in the economy, 4½ years after the recession offi cially ended, to ramp up hiring.

Woman uses ID of husband’s ex-wife
FORT WAYNE — A woman arrested for shoplifting at a Fort Wayne Walmart identifi ed herself as her husband’s ex-wife, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. The ex-wife was arrested when the real wife failed to show up for court.
According to the affi davit for probable cause, on July 23, Wendy S. Lockridge, 33, of Fort Wayne, walked out of a Walmart with clothes, food and liquor without paying for the items.
Police said Lockridge told a Walmart employee that her name was Amanda Cruse. A Fort Wayne Police offi cer took Lockridge to the Allen County Jail where she provided police with Cruse’s social security number and date of birth. Lockridge also signed multiple documents using the signature “Amanda Cruse.”
When Lockridge failed to appear for her court date, a warrant was issued for Cruse’s arrest, and the real Amanda Cruse was arrested by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department.

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — Christian civilians fl ed by the thousands to the airport guarded by French forces in this chaotic capital Friday as the mostly Muslim armed fi ghters who have ruled the country since March hunted door-to-door for their enemies and the death toll from inter-communal violence increased to 280 people.
Bodies lay decomposing along the roads in a capital too dangerous for many to collect the corpses. Thursday’s clashes marked the worst unrest in Bangui in nine months and raised fears that waves of retalia-tory attacks could soon follow.
“They are slaughtering us like chickens,” said Appolinaire Donoboy, a Christian whose family remained in hiding.
France had pledged to increase its presence in its former colony well before Christian militias attacked the capital at dawn Thursday. The arrival of additional French troops and equipment came as the capital teetered on the brink of total anarchy and represented the greatest hope for many Central Africans.
About 1,000 French forces were expected to be on the ground by Friday evening, a French defense offi cial said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
As night fell across the near anarchic capital, Christians fearing retalia-tory attacks by the mostly Muslim ex-rebels crowded as close to the runway as possible, laying out their woven mats in front of a barbed wire coiled fence. National radio announced that at least 280 people had died, citing fi gures from local Red Cross offi cials.
The U.S. State Depart-ment said it was “deeply concerned” by the violence
and praised France’s quick intervention.
France signaled its amped up presence in its former colony on Friday by sending out armored vehicles to patrol the streets. A French fi ghter jet made several fl yovers, roaring through the sky over an otherwise lifeless capital as civilians cowered at home. Britain also fl ew in a C-17 plane Friday loaded with equipment to help with France’s intervention.
As many as 250 French troops are carrying out permanent patrols in Bangui, and “we didn’t notice any direct clashes between armed groups today,” said French military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron in Paris.
On Thursday, however, 10 armed attackers in a pickup truck fi red on a French position at the airport, including with a rocket-propelled grenade whose charge did not
detonate. French forces returned fi re, killing four attackers and wounding six, Jaron said.
A planned vote on a U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday allowed France to proceed with its mission. It coincided with the worst violence to roil the capital since March when the mostly Muslim rebels known as Seleka overthrew the president of a decade.
On Thursday, Christian militias believed to be loyal to ousted leader Francois Bozize attacked the city, and hours of gunbattles ensued. The confl ict in one of Africa’s poorest countries has gathered little sustained international attention since the govern-ment overthrow in March, and the dramatic develop-ments were overshad-owed Friday by global mourning for South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who died at the age of 95.
“Thanks to France and the United Nations who want to save the Central Africans, soon the Seleka attacks on civilians will stop. We have had enough of Seleka killing, raping and stealing,” said Abel Nguerefara, who lives on the outskirts of Bangui.
Streets in the city were empty Friday except for military vehicles and the trucks favored by the rebel forces who now claim control of the government. Nine unclaimed bodies lay sprawled in front of the parliament building alone — local Red Cross workers didn’t dare retrieve them, or other bodies that were left to decay outside.
Despite the cheers that went up when a jet engine roared overhead, France insisted it was going only reluctantly into Central African Republic and with the limited aim of doubling its presence in the country to 1,200 troops.
Report: Central African death toll up to 280
AP
Internally displaced people gather at Bangui’s airport, Central African Republic, Friday as French military helicopters land, a day after gun battles between Seleka soldiers and Christian militias left over
100 dead and scores wounded. To try to put an end to sectarian violence, the UN security council passed a motion allowing French troops to deploy in the country in order to protect civilians and insure security by all necessary means.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty, an effort to spur development and investment in green energy while balancing its environ-mental consequences.
The change, requested by the wind energy industry, will provide legal protection for the lifespan of wind farms and other projects for which companies obtain a permit and make efforts to avoid killing the birds.
An investigation by The
Associated Press earlier this year documented the illegal killing of eagles around wind farms, the Obama administration’s reluctance to prosecute such cases and its willingness to help keep the scope of the eagle deaths secret. The White House has championed wind power, a pollution-free energy intended to ease global warming, as a corner-stone of President Barack Obama’s energy plan.
In other areas, too, such as the government’s support for corn-based ethanol to reduce U.S. dependence on gasoline, the White House
has allowed the green industry to do not-so-green things. Another AP investi-gation recently showed that ethanol has proven far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today.
Under the change announced Friday, companies would have to commit to take additional measures if they kill or injure more eagles than they have estimated they would, or if new information suggests that eagle popula-tions are being affected. The permits would be reviewed every fi ve years, and companies would have to submit reports of how many eagles they kill. Now such reporting is voluntarily, and the Interior Depart-
ment refuses to release the information.
“This is not a program to kill eagles,” said John Anderson, the director of siting policy at the American Wind Energy Association. “This permit program is about conserva-tion.”
Wind farms are clusters of turbines as tall as 30-story buildings, with spinning rotors as wide as a passenger jet’s wingspan. Though the blades appear to move slowly, they can reach speeds of up to 170 mph at the tips, creating tornado-like vortexes.
Flying eagles behave like drivers texting on their cellphones; they don’t look up. As they scan below for food, they don’t notice the industrial turbine blades until it is too late.

’Tis the season for giving.But when you give, do you know your
money will help someone?Social workers say, “Don’t give to
beggars.” Those who do give are “enablers,” helping alcoholics and drug users to continue bad habits. It’s better to give to charities that help the “homeless.” I put “homeless”
in quotes because my TV producers have quietly followed a dozen of the more convincing beggars after “work,” and all had homes.
Once, I put on a fake beard and begged for an hour. At the rate money was coming in, I would have made 90 bucks in an eight-hour day — $23,000 per year, tax-free! I see why people panhandle.
Their success, however, means that people who give them money, no matter how good their intentions, are not
engaging in real charity. Giving may make you feel better, but it doesn’t make the world a better place.
So where should we give? Charity-rating services try to separate good charities from scams, but they get conned, too. The defi nition of “charitable work” is rarely clear. How should the board of a nonprofi t’s fi rst-class hotel expenses during a trip to Africa be classifi ed?
That’s why I give to charities I can watch. I donate to The Doe Fund, a nonprofi t helping to rehabilitate ex-convicts. I saw their “Men in Blue” working near my apartment — cheerfully and energetically. I thought, “Whoever’s rehabbing these guys is doing something right!” So I give money to them — and to a couple other groups I can see.
Finally, I give more to charity because I’m not much of an entrepreneur. I don’t have business-building skills. But for those who do, here’s a novel idea: Don’t give to charity.
Years ago, Ted Turner was praised for donating a billion dollars to the United Nations. He said he wanted to “guilt” other billionaires into giving more and told me Warren Buffet was “cheap” for giving too little.
At fi rst, the idea makes sense. Billionaires have more than they need; merely chasing more profi t seems selfi sh.
But giving it a second thought, I found a fallacy in Turner’s argument. The U.N. is a wasteful bureaucracy, leading me to assume it squandered Turner’s gift. Buffet, meanwhile, continued to direct his investors’ money to growing companies. Based on Buffet’s stock-picking success, his investments were probably a more productive use of capital than Turner’s. Money went to people making better products, inventing better things, creating more jobs and so on. Maybe Buffet’s stock picks are now funding the next Bill Gates.
Today, the real Gates spends his time giving money away. He’s unusually conscien-tious about it. He experiments, funding what works and dropping what doesn’t. His charity work saves lives. Good for him. But Gates was also unusually skilled at bringing people better software. Had he continued doing that at Microsoft, I bet the company would have been even more productive. And Gates would have done more for the world.
I tried that thought experiment on Turner, who, in turn, unclipped his microphone and walked off the set.
OK, so people who give away a billion dollars don’t want to hear skepticism about their gift. But there’s little doubt capitalism helps people more. Even rock star Bono from U2 has come to understand that. He used to call for more government spending on foreign aid. Now he says: “Aid is just a stopgap. Commerce, entrepreneurial capitalism take more people out of poverty.”
Bingo. If Bono gets it, Turner should, too.I applaud those who give to charity, but
let’s not forget that it’s capitalists (honest ones, not those who feed off government) who do the most for the poor. They do more good for the world than politicians — and more even than do-gooders working for charities.

Iran nuclear deal an opportunity that requires follow-up
Proponents of the Iran nuclear deal are calling it “a victory for diplomacy.” That very much remains to be seen; certainly it is a premature judgment. The same is true of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dark prophecy that the deal is “a historic mistake.”
The real signifi cance is that the deal was done at all, thanks to the relentless diplomacy of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his ability to keep our fractious allies in this endeavor — Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — on the same page.
Of only slightly less importance is that the U.S. and
Iran talked substantively for the fi rst time in decades, thanks in part to the departure of its bellicose former president, Mohammed Ahmadinejad, and his replacement by Hassan Rouhani, who claims he wants to end Iran’s pariah status.
The deal reached last weekend is an interim arrange-ment that the parties could easily end at any time; however, it does buy six months during which the parties can begin the much harder task of reaching a long-term treaty.
Reaction on Capitol Hill was mixed, with members of both parties expressing concerns that the interim pact would allow Iran to continue to enrich any uranium in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
“In my view, this agreement
did not proportionately reduce Iran’s nuclear program for the relief it is receiving,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said. “Given Iran’s history of duplicity, it will demand ongoing, on-the-ground verifi cation.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, who is the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, has introduced legislation that would require Iran to fully comply with the interim agreement and would prevent Obama from waiving additional sanctions unless Iran meets certain conditions for an acceptable fi nal agreement. Corker said skepticism is widespread and Congress should hold the administration’s “feet to the fi re” to ensure the
interim agreement does not become permanent.
The deal could collapse if Congress, goaded by Israel, passes tougher sanctions during the life of the interim agreement. Such action would be premature. The interim pact is neither a diplomatic victory nor a grave error; it is an opportunity.
If Iran thumbs its nose at the world and violates the agreement or fails to negotiate in good faith toward a permanent pact, the adminis-tration and our allies will need to restore all sanctions and perhaps take further action. In the meantime, all parties should give diplomacy a chance to work.

Abe and Kristin’s house empties out one at a time as we all take fl ights back home with a week of family memories tucked inside our travel bags.
The trip is quickly made with a tail wind guiding the aircraft through skies of blue. My seatmate, Donna, has sad stories to tell me and I listen intently. She is going home to say good bye to her brother and make some decisions about her life. Donna is nervous and orders two small bottles of wine on this afternoon fl ight. As we descend into Fort Wayne the skies are as gray and foggy as a Sandburg poem. Donna is afraid of landing in the fog. Karen reaches over and takes her hand and tells her it will be fi ne. I offer her chocolate which she gladly takes.
We land safely through the fog onto a runway of drizzle. What a contrast this is from the bright Arizona skies, I think to myself. We say farewell to Donna and wish her well as we leave the aircraft.
We gather our bags and fi nd the old Jeep in the parking lot. Everything and everyone barely fi ts, but we snuggle in for the ride home. I drop off Aaron and Karen and the boys knowing I will miss their company. With the deepening fog I pull into the House at White Picket Gardens. I am greeted by two rotten pumpkins on my front porch. I sigh and decide I will deal with them when they freeze. I park the Jeep and carry in my bags to a chilly empty house. I turn up the heat and put on the tea kettle.
There is a forlorn Pilgrim on my dining room table. She looks a bit tired and out
of her element on this early December day. There are other Thanksgiving objects as well. There will be time to tuck away Thanksgiving and bring out the Christmas boxes, but in the dreary rain it does not feel
like it.I do not have time to
lament or miss family on this fi rst night home. I quickly change and pull back out of the driveway to meet Colleen Holman. My headlights separate the fog from the road and we meet up. I take my fi rst deep breath and get into Colleen’s car as we head toward Metz for the annual Lady and Lassie Christmas Party at the Metz Christian Church.
As I walk in the door the spirit of Christmas is apparent in everything! The church
basement is decorated for this Christmas party. It smells like my grandma’s church from long ago. I can even catch a glimpse of her arranging food and greeting folks.
The tablecloths are made of old fashioned vinyl. Garland and tinsel hang from the rafters, and glass Christmas tree jars decorate the tables. I join the merriment by telling stories and listening to the history of the church. We share punch and cookies before the Sweet Adelines sing a variety of Christmas carols. Elizabeth Gilbert is the emcee, and she is very funny. I am next with my Christmas stories. As I begin to speak I am caught up in
their humor and sweetness and tell stories as if time will stand still for all of us.
But too soon we say farewell and I fi nd my way home in the fog.
I check my calendar for all the events heading my way. I am ready. My students greet me warmly with projects in hand. I will miss these students when the semester is over.
Secret Santa gifts have piled up in my offi ce during my absence. It is great fun to open them and wonder about the person who has my name.
Back home I cozy up in my studio with a candle and a small heater when I hear the doorbell ring. It is the delivery of oranges and grapefruit from the Pleasant Lake Lions Club. Jerry Walker carries them into my kitchen. Jerry is friendly and full of stories. We talk about Elten and Carolyn caught up in the winter storms out west. Jerry tells me he worked in Colorado for a while as a young man but came to Angola to become a typesetter for the Herald-Re-publican. He worked there 30 years. Jerry still misses the West now and again, but home is home.
We say farewell. The Pilgrim is still on the table. It doesn’t really matter. The Christmas season is here and so am I.

Only God can heal AmericaTo the editor:“United we stand, and divided we fall.”I was 16 years old when the Japanese
bombed Pearl Harbor and Roosevelt declared war against Japan, and a little later against Germany.
Our nation was totally united to produce war machinery to defeat the enemies. No nation ever produced war materials as America did. We were so proud to be American. It seemed that all Americans loved each other and were totally united against all enemies of America.
We have been through several wars since, but we are now a divided nation. Congress is divided, conservatives and liberals are divided. And it takes an earthquake or a tornado to get us to work together.
The big divider started in 1973 when the
Supreme Court ruled a mother had the right to decide if her unborn child would live or die.
Since then, millions of unwanted babies have been sacrifi ced. Mother Teresa said, “As long as mothers kill their babies, we will have violence in the streets.”
Just read your daily paper and count the shootings, robberies, rapes, drunken drivers and drug abuse. God gives all life, and He says, “Thou shalt not kill.”
It seem that God can be outvoted by those who trust the Supreme Court, instead of trusting God.
Genesis I and John I tell us that God is our creator and all life is from God. David said, “Before I was in my mother’s womb, God knew me.” Some believe they can eventually prove God was not our creator.
They spend billions in space travel going to the moon and other planets to bring back rocks, sand and dust, trying
to fi nd out where life started. God will tell them for free if they will only believe God.
There is one more great divider sweeping through America, and that is same-sex marriage. If you say marriage is one man and one woman only, some call you a “hate monger.” God unites one man and one woman and tells them, “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.” God rained fi re on Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them because the men wanted men only. In the New Testament, Romans 1:26B-27, women burned in lust for women and men for men. God gave them over to vile passion.
Those who believe God and his world cannot agree with those who do not. Only God can heal America, “one nation under God.”

Letter To The Editor•
“This is a celebration of the death, because we knew he was an old man,” said Radebe, whose eyes sparkled with shallow tears. “He brought a lot of changes to our community, because I grew up in apartheid. It was a very bad situation.”
President Jacob Zuma announced that Mandela is to be buried during a state funeral in his rural home town of Qunu on Sunday, Dec. 15. A memorial service is to be held on Tuesday in FNB Stadium in Johannes-burg. Mandela’s last public appearance was at the same stadium in 2010 for the closing ceremony of the
soccer World Cup.Mandela’s body will then
lie in state in Pretoria for three days. Sunday marks a national day of prayer and refl ection.
“We call upon all our people to gather in halls, churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and in their homes for prayer services and meditation, refl ecting on the life of Madiba and his contribution to our country and the world,” Zuma said, using Mandela’s clan name.
Zuma had announced late Thursday that Mandela, who had been in and out of the hospital four times since February 2011, was dead. He was last admitted in June with a recurring lung infection from which he never recovered, though he was released in September to convalesce at home.
After midnight, a black SUV-type vehicle containing Mandela’s coffi n, draped in South Africa’s fl ag, pulled away from Mandela’s home, escorted by military motorcycle outriders, to take the body to a military morgue in Pretoria.
In a church service in Cape Town, Tutu, who like Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, said Mandela would want South Africans themselves to be his “memorial.”
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two people were killed on treacherous roads and schools and businesses were closed as a storm that dumped ice and as much as 10 inches of snow on much of Indiana stretched into its second day Friday.
State police responded to numerous accidents Friday that shut down a section of Interstate 70 west of Indianapolis and caused a late-morning backup on Interstate 65 just south of the city, but no major injuries were reported.
That was better news than Thursday night, when Mohammed A. Isse, 33,
of Chicago, died when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer whose driver lost control of his truck near Richmond. At the other end of the state, Karen Price, 51, of Brazil, Ind., died Thursday night in a multiple car crash near Terre Haute.
State police continued to urge motorists to use caution when traveling or to stay off roads entirely in southern Indiana, which received a second round of ice and snow Friday afternoon.
The snowstorm hit Indianapolis at a busy time. Thousands of Ohio State and Michigan State fans were descending on the city
for two days of tailgating leading up to tonight’s Big Ten football championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Randy Ackerman, 54, of Lima, Ohio, wasn’t fazed by the snow and didn’t think it would affect turnout, at least not for Buckeyes fans.
“We’re die-hards. We travel well,” he said. “Heat or snow, we’re there.”
Crews worked to make sure travelers had clear paths, whether they were heading to Indianapolis for the game or elsewhere in the state.
The state highway department said it had more than 600 trucks clearing and treating highways.
Spokesman Harry Maginity said crews were able to keep most highways in good shape.
“It looks like pretty wet snow, which means it’s probably not going to be drifting,” he said. “If we had a drier snow, then the rural highways would be blowing shut.”
The National Weather Service reported up to 10 inches of snow near Vincennes and more than 7 inches around Bloomington. About 5 inches fell near Columbus and Franklin, both along Interstate 65 south of Indianapolis.

and learn more about the Moose.
“If you ever wanted to know what’s behind those closed doors, now is the time,” Short said.
Locally, the Moose provides facilities and fi nancial support to many area groups including the Downtown Auburn Business Association, the Auburn Arts Commis-sion, DeKalb Health, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival, DeKalb Humane Society, DeKalb High School Music Depart-ment, Jackson Township 4-H and Little League, Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Children First Center, Down Syndrome Association of Northeast Indiana, Cancer Services
of Northeast Indiana, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Special Olympics, Safe Surfi n’ and Boy Scouts of America.
The lodge has been a team sponsor in Auburn Little League for more than 50 years. The lodge donates its facilities for funeral services, fi refi ghter and law enforcement events and senior euchre. It provides scholarships to children and grandchildren of Moose members and provides funds to support Mooseh-eart and Moosehaven.
Mooseheart Child City and School was founded in 1913 to provide a home for children of Moose members who have lost one or both parents or who are in need. The 1,000-acre
campus is in Fox River Valley, 38 miles west of Chicago. More than 11,000 children have lived at Mooseheart since 1913. The current student popula-tion is about 250. Children live with “family teachers,” who are often husband and wife, in buildings designed as single-family homes.
Mooseheart is a self-contained community with its own bank, power plant, schools, church, health center, auditorium, post offi ce, stadium and recreational buildings.
Moosehaven was founded in 1922 and was established to provide a home for dependent, aged Moose men and women and their spouses. It is in Orange Park, Fla., and has a population of about 400.
MOOSE: Sponsored Little League 50-plus yearsFROM PAGE A1
WASHINGTON (AP) — It doesn’t rival Amazon and Travelocity, but President Barack Obama’s much-ma-ligned health insurance website fi nally seems to be working reasonably well most of the time.
More than 3.7 million people visited HealthCare.gov this week — and it didn’t crash, administration spokeswoman Julie Bataille deadpanned Friday on a call with reporters.
Offi cials say 29,000 people enrolled the fi rst two days of the week, exceeding total signups for the 36 states served by the federal site during October, the month of its problem-plagued launch.
Work has shifted from zapping technical gremlins that frustrated consumers to cleaning up garbled enroll-ment fi les that the system has been delivering to insurers.
“The new process put in place this week is making a difference,” acknowledged Karen Ignagni, head of the largest industry group, America’s Health Insurance Plans. “The enrollment fi les are getting better, but there is more work to be done to ensure consumers are covered.”
While not calling it an “error rate,” Bataille says mistakes on those fi les are now affecting 1 in 10 transactions with insurers, down from an estimated 25 percent. She still recommends that consumers verify enrollment with their insurer, and — importantly— pay their fi rst
month’s premium by Dec. 31.
The web is now the gateway to subsidized private health insurance for people who don’t have job-based coverage. Along with the federal site, 14 states and Washington, D.C., are running their own. As Obama invites consumers back to take a second look, here are some of the changes you can expect:
Speed and availability
Independent testers question the blazing Internet speeds claimed by techies at the Health and Human Services Department, and some of the state websites, but confi rm there’s been noticeable progress.
“The trend is in the right direction … but there are still things they can do to make the user experience better,” said Michael Smith, a vice president of engineering at Compuware Corp., which helps companies monitor the technical performance of their websites.
As of Friday morning, the number of states where consumers are experi-encing unacceptably long wait times had been cut to 9, down from 26 states in late October. Conversely, Compuware now rates 17 states as “acceptable,” up from just six in October.
Compuware defi nes “unacceptable” as more than 8 seconds average response time to load the home page. The government claims a
response time of less than 1 second. But Smith says that is likely being measured from computers with fast Internet connections and doesn’t account for the experience of consumers with less than ideal access, which is incorporated in his company’s testing.
Compuware says availability — a measure of consumers’ success accessing the site — is up to 98 percent, close to the standard for commercial websites. HealthCare.gov is being measured against the standard for health care industry sites.
Window-shopping
Many consumers were puzzled and frustrated when the federal website went live because it would not let them browse health plans without fi rst setting up an account. That’s the opposite of how e-commerce generally works. Most websites ask consumers to open an account after they’re ready to purchase.
The fl aw drove many people to an accounts creation page that turned out to be riddled with bugs and contributed to the system’s early woes.
On Monday, HHS announced the deploy-ment of a window-shop-ping function that lets prospective customers see plans and prices in their area, including previously unavailable details such as deductibles and cost-sharing, as well as provider networks.

FORT WAYNE — Teams that shoot 50 percent from the fi eld don’t lose high school basketball games very often.
And that’s exactly where DeKalb fi nished at in Friday night’s game against Fort Wayne North. But the Redskins’ pressure defense also forced 28 turnovers and the Barons were only 11 of 22 from the free-throw line, all of which resulted in a 51-41 setback for the visitors Friday night in By Hey Arena.
“We really had a chance to win this ball game. If we take care of the basketball, we win,” said DeKalb coach Jon Everingham. “It is frustrating walking out of here with a loss. The things that we didn’t do well (Friday night) are fi xable, and that’s what’s really exciting about this team.”
Despite the 28 turnovers — 17 coming in the fi rst half — DeKalb (1-2) still had a chance to win late. Trailing 44-34 with 2:33 left, the Barons made things interesting when Carson Forrest scored a bucket with 1:56 remaining, and 22 seconds later, he converted a three-point play to cut North Side’s lead 44-39.
The Barons forced a turnover on the ensuing possession with an opportunity to make it a one-pos-session game, but DeKalb turned the ball over. That would end up being DeKalb’s fi nal threat as the Redskins (2-0) made 5 of 6 free
throws in the fi nal 1:07.“We were down fi ve with
a minute to go against a team that’s ranked in Class 4A. That’s something that we can be very excited about,” Everingham said. “I’ve been saying all along, this
team’s seriously full of potential. The expectation at DeKalb is to win basketball games, and we’ll get there.”
Every time North Side threat-ened to put the game away, DeKalb found a way to battle
back. The Redskins went up 35-26 with 2:45 left in the third quarter, but DeKalb ended the quarter on a 6-0 run, capped off by a Logan Gerke rebound and bucket at the horn to cut the lead to 35-32. The

FORT WAYNE — Free throw shooting has decided more than one basketball game.
It decided another when the Eastside Blazers defeated the host Canterbury Cavaliers 68-64 Friday in Fort Wayne.
The Blazers (2-1) were 28-of-38 (74 percent) from the stripe, compared to a woeful 4-of-15 (26 percent) by the Cavaliers, who had received honorable mention in the latest Class 2A poll.
Eastside capitalized late, hitting 5-of-6 tosses in the fi nal minute after Christian Kreiger’s long
three-pointer from the top of the key had given the Cavaliers a 64-63 lead with 1:24 to play.
Eastside’s Ethan Moughler, who started in place of the injured Tristan Sprunger, scored 14 points, including two free throws with 51.2 seconds left.
P.J. Dean rebounded a missed Cavalier three, and made 1-of-2 free throws 20 seconds later. Moughler was fouled after he stole the ball on Canterbury’s next possession, and put the game away with a pair with 25 seconds left.
“I’m proud of our mental toughness,” Eastside coach Ryan Abbott said afterwards. “Mentally

GARRETT — For 16 minutes, Woodlan’s Kadin Gerig was a major thorn in Garrett’s side. Every time the Railroaders pulled within a shot of the Warriors in the fi rst half, he seemed to have an answer and pushed the target farther away. When Gerig was subdued, however, so were the Warriors.
Starter Kordell Kessler and substitute Andrea Rosati adjusted to Gerig’s play and held him to four points in the second half as Garrett built its own lead and downed the Warriors 58-46 in the Allen County Athletic Conference opener for both teams Friday. Kessler and Rosati contested more shots and forced Gerig to take
riskier ones late in the fi rst half.While Gerig fi nished with 20
points, only four of those came in the second half. The Warrior forward hit 4-of-7 shots from 3-point range in the fi rst half, then went 0-for-3 from there on out.
“Kordell Kessler was on him most of the time and Rosati came in and did a heck of a job on him. We knew he was a kid who could get hot. I think that defensive adjust-ment with Andre and Kordell really helped out in the second half,” Garrett coach John Bodey said.
Gerig opened the game with a shot from beyond the arc before Garrett kicked off a run to take the 4-3 lead early. When the Warriors took the advantage back,

Boys BasketballLakewood Park falls to Wayne
FORT WAYNE — Fort Wayne Wayne scored 28 points in the first quarter and never looked back in defeating Lakewood Park Christian, 102-73, in a high-scoring affair on Friday night.
Bradey Gerke and Hunter Yoder led the Panthers (1-2) with 13 points apiece. Austin Mann scored 12 points, Drake Donaldson had 11 points and Noah Gardner had 10 points. Andrew Johnson chipped in nine points, Jared Gerke had
three points and Keegan Fetters had two points to round out the scoring.
Hamilton loses to Elkhart Christian in nonconference play
Elkhart Christian earned a 68-48 victory over Hamilton on Friday night.
The Marines trailed 15-6 after one quarter and 36-19 at the half. Cory Waycaster led four Eagle scorers in double fi gures with 15 points. ECA is 2-0.
For Hamilton (1-2), Casey Rote had 16 points, Addison Stephens scored 15 and Aaron Kelley added 13.
tough teams can win on the road, and we wanted to be the tougher team.
“I don’t know how many lead changes there were tonight, but I don’t think there was a lead change that shook us,” he said. “Defensively, we would have liked to have held them under the number of points they had, but in the grand scheme of things, I’ll take Eastside’s basketball class, toughness and work ethic that we had tonight any day.”
Moughler and Dean fi nished with 14 points each, and Liechty — who hit three three-pointers — fi nished with 12.
Canterbury’s Tommy McNabb led all scorers with 17. Trevor Uhl had nine an Jamison Kline had eight for the Cavaliers (1-1).
The game was barely three minutes old when Canterbury head coach Scott Kreiger drew three technical fouls and was ejected.
With Canterbury on offense, a Cavalier player drove to the basket and collided with Eastside’s Ryan Liechty. The offi cials briefl y huddled and called an offensive foul against Canterbury.
That resulted in the fi rst technical foul when Kreiger argued the call.
The second came in the same sequence as the offi cials made a Canterbury player wearing a black shirt under his white jersey from entering the game. That player took off his jersey on the bench — a technical foul. The third one occurred in the discus-sion that followed that technical.
With 4:20 to play in the fi rst, Eastside’s Kadis Renier hit 5-of-6 free throws, and Dean scored on a baseline drive for a seven-point swing that tied the game at 11.
Despite losing their coach early, the Cavaliers led 17-15 after one.
Eastside fi nished the half on a 11-3 run, highlighted
by an Austin Baker spin move on the block, a Liechty three, a Renier steal and score and a Baker three. The Blazers led 37-30 at the break.
It was Canterbury’s turn to take the momentum in the third.
After Moughler’s fadeaway jumper made it 40-37 Eastside, Canterbury’s McNabb scored twice inside, and Kline scored from the wing as the hosts ran off eight straight for a 45-40 lead.
Eastside’s Rob Singer fi nished a fast break with a layup and a 47-45 lead after three however.
The lead changed hands six times in the fourth quarter, but the Blazers didn’t trail again after Moughler’s freebies in the fi nal minute.
“I’d love to give up less offensive rebounds for the entire game, but we had key rebounds late in the game,” Abbott said. “We hit key free throws late. We were tough tonight, and we were fi rst-class tonight.”

Eastside’s Rob Singer shoots for two during Friday’s basketball game against Canterbury at Fort Wayne. Singer had eight points and eight rebounds in Eastside’s 68-64 win.
Barons would get no closer.“We had a game plan
going in to it and we stuck to it,” Forrest said. “Be strong on defense and run our offense.
“They were really just up in us and they had good ball pressure, and we turned it over a couple times, but we stuck with it.”
Forrest had the best game of his varsity career, fi nishing with game-highs of 18 points and eight rebounds.
“I was just going out there and trying to play,” Forrest said.
Everingham was pleased with the way his team battled throughout the game, and called timeout with 13.1 seconds left to tell them as much, despite being down eight points at the time.
“I spent that time really telling our kids how proud I am of their effort (Friday night). Not to take anything away from North, but I thought our effort was about as good as you can get in a high school basketball. We played really hard.”
DeKalb was playing without two starters in leading scorer Cole Hartman and sophomore Hunter Cone. Hartman rolled his ankle in practice
Wednesday, and is day-to-day leading up to the Barons’ game against Leo on Tuesday. Everingham said Friday night that Cone, who played in last weekend’s game against Eastside, may be done for the season. He’s also suffering from an ankle injury.
“We showed a little toughness and didn’t come in thinking that, oh gosh, those guys are out. We really thought we could win,” Everingham said. “Hunter is fighting through a fairly serious injury and his toughness is off the charts. He’s trying to gut it out but he may have played his last game last Saturday. We’ll evaluate him.”
Tanner Moore scored 14 points (nine in the third quarter), Dahlton Daub had seven points and Gerke two points to round out the Baron scoring. Will Chrisman and Moore also had six rebounds apiece.
Mike Davis led North Side with 16 points. Three players — Jeremy Jones, Terrell Crews and Tre’Vion Crews — all had eight points apiece. The Redskins played without junior Sean McGee, who’s drawing interest from Division I schools.
North Side’s biggest
lead of the game was 21-9 midway through the second quarter before DeKalb chipped it down to 25-17 by the halftime break. Despite the turnover advantage, North Side was 1 of 11 from 3-point range, which helped keep the Barons within striking distance.
Junior VarsityNorth Side 46, DeKalb 37DeKalb lost in junior
varsity action, 46-37. Mason Wengert led the Barons with 16 points. Luke Donat had seven points, Logan Casper fi ve points, Harrison Price four points, Jay Krebs three points and Brandon Dunham two points.

Gerig cushioned it on three occasions with a barrage of treys. However, Garrett stayed in the game with strong play by Justin McCoy and Matthew Singleton as the scoring margin was never more than seven points.
That seven-point differ-ence did not last long as the Railroaders pulled within three and settled down inside of four minutes remaining. The hosts fi nished the second quarter by going on a 13-5 run and scored the fi nal seven points. With a Karsten Cooper bucket, Garrett overtook Woodlan and held a 30-29 lead at the break.
Cooper scored 16 points in the game, second only to McCoy’s 22. Cooper also pulled down 10 rebounds and
had six assists.“We got down early,
but we never let it get out of reach. We persevered throughout the fi rst half. I think the only thing they hurt us with in that fi rst half was rebounding and the fact Gerig had 15 points,” Bodey said.
Garrett’s game play only improved from then on. The fi nal was the highest defi cit on the scoreboard and the Railroaders pulled away with the fi nal 12 points of the contest. Following the late fi rst-half lead change, Garrett never let go of the lead.
Free-throw shooting was huge for Garrett down the stretch as it went 10-for-12 in the second half compared to 4-of-10 in the fi rst two quarters.
“I think they saw that if we
do what we do, it works. They realized if they are patient and take the drive when they have it, they don’t have to put up 3-point shots,” Bodey said.Garrett JV 50, Woodlan 29
The Railroader reserves put away the Warriors with ease after building a 15-9 lead through one quarter. Drake Lucarelli led Garrett with 10 points. Nick Stafford and Brogan McCoy added eight each.
Triston Moses had 11 points for Woodlan.
Woodlan Frosh 36, Garrett 31
In the freshman tilt, Woodlan pulled away late in a close-knit contest. The game was knotted at 24-24 after three.

Petersen leaves Boise for UW
SEATTLE (AP) — Chris Petersen is headed to Washington after fi nally being persuaded to leave Boise State.
Petersen agreed to become the Huskies’ new football coach on Friday, leaving behind an unprecedented run of success with the Broncos. The Huskies made the announcement Friday morning after Petersen reportedly met with Washington athletic director Scott Woodward on Thursday night in Boise.
The decision was fi rst reported by ESPN. Petersen met with his Boise State players Friday morning before the announcement was made.
“Coach Petersen’s success and record are extraordinary, but even more impres-sive is the man himself,” Woodward said in a statement released by the school. “His integrity, work ethic and character make him an outstanding fi t and leader of our student-athletes at UW. We are thrilled and proud to call Coach Petersen a Husky.”
Petersen will replace Steve Sarkisian, who went 34-29 in fi ve seasons at Washington before leaving earlier this week to take the job at USC. Petersen was 92-12 in his eight seasons at Boise State, turning the Broncos into a national program with two Fiesta Bowl titles. But he’s coming off the worst regular season in his tenure with the Broncos after going 8-4.
Texans fi re coach Gary KubiakHOUSTON (AP) — Houston fi red coach
Gary Kubiak on Friday, one day after the Texans lost 27-20 at Jacksonville for their 11th straight loss to continue their stunning fall for a team that expected to make a Super Bowl run. Houston (2-11) was fl agged 14 times for a franchise-record 177 yards.
Kubiak, 52, was hired in 2006 and led the team to back-to-back AFC South titles in 2011-2012 during his eight-year tenure as coach of his hometown NFL team.
The Texans said they couldn’t wait any longer to start turning things around, not with the losses and undisciplined play piling up.

On The Air•
The fi rst week of December has certainly been a pleasant one, but starting this weekend, winter will come upon us full force with cold. While I can handle the snow, it
is the cold tempera-tures that always chill me more.
While a lot of people still use propane to heat their homes, wood burners have certainly gained a
good deal of popularity in the last 10 years. Ward Upham from Kansas State University has provided some great information on how much heat each type of wood can produce.
Not all fi rewood is created equal. Some species of trees are able to produce much more heat per cord of wood. A cord is the amount of wood in a well-stacked woodpile measuring 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 4 feet high. If you are trying to fi gure out how much a cord would look like, it would take 2.6 truckloads of a full-size, short box truck (level with the top of the box) to equal one cord of fi rewood.
The amount of heat a cord of wood can produce is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTU’s. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree Fahren-heit. One BTU is equal to 1,055 Joules or 252 calories.
Following are heat values (in million BTU’s) per cord for various species of tree. The higher the value, the better the wood: green ash 22.8, cottonwood 15.9, American elm 19.8, hackberry 21.0, honeylocust 25.6, black locust 28.3, sugar maple 24.0, silver maple 18.9, mulberry 25.3, red oak 24.0, bur oak 24.9,
post oak 25.6, osage orange 32.6, black walnut 21.8, apple 25.8, cherry 20.0, norway pine 17.1, white spruce 18.1.
So for a hotter heat, you would want to aim for the osage orange and black locust fi rewood. Remember to try to cut your fi rewood locally, and if you do need to cross state lines, make sure the wood is not quaran-tined by checking with the local DNR.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Agriculture economists have long warned that farmers are getting old and staying on their land longer, delaying the turnover to a younger generation. But an Ohio State University professor argues that those fears are overstated and the United States likely will have little problem replacing aging farmers as long as business is good, as it has been for the past decade.
Others aren’t so sure, saying while they agree with OSU agriculture economist Carl Zulauf’s assessment that concerns about the unquestionably aging farmer population remain valid and create uncertainty about who will produce the nation’s crops in the future.
“I think what he said is absolutely right,” Iowa State University economics professor Mike Duffy said. “I think the conclusion he’s drawing though is not necessarily the correct one.”
Zulauf contends that just like in the 1970s, farm prosperity will draw more young workers into farming. And prosperous the business is: This year, net income from U.S. farms is expected to reach a record $131 billion. Farm wealth has also reached record levels, according to the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, with farm asset values rising 7 percent this year to a record
$3 trillion.On average, farmers are
about 15 years older than the broader U.S. workforce, Zulaf said, but noted in his October report that this age differ-ence hasn’t changed since the 1980s and that the average age of farmers is increasing at the same pace as U.S. workers generally.
USDA statistics in 2007 showed that for each farmer under 25, there were fi ve who were 75 or older. In Iowa alone, Duffy said, landowners who were older than 75 owned 28 percent of the state’s farmland in 2007, compared with 24 percent in 2002 and just 12 percent in 1982.
Duffy believes it’s essential to pay attention to the transition of farms from one generation to another, saying the catch is enabling those young farmers with programs and policies that help people with few assets and little access to land to get a chance to farm.
Land prices throughout the Midwest have soared in the past decade, largely due to strong prices for corn and
soybeans, with the average value in the U.S. this year rising 9.4 percent to $2,900 per acre. Iowa’s average farm real estate value
increased 20 percent this year to $8,400 an acre.
And farm implements, such as tractors, combines and grain bins, are often pricey, with a new combine costing upward of $350,000.
“It takes a while to
acquire that capital usually by saving or through inheri-tance,” Zulauf said in an interview. “That doesn’t typically happen until people have passed a fair number of years as a working adult to get to that stage.”
Lindsey Lusher Shute, 34, knows that diffi culty fi rst hand. She and her husband, Benjamin Shute, 35, farm 70 acres near Clermont, N.Y.
She said the three biggest concerns for younger people looking to farm are access to land, ability to borrow money for land and equipment and health insurance costs. Land in the Hudson Valley, where she is, costs about $8,000 to $10,000 an acre.
Economist challenges idea of aging farmer crisis
This year, net income from U.S.
farms is expected to reach a record $131
billion.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Emergency responders, grain elevator employees and farmers will learn how to best avoid getting trapped in grain bins by attending one of two Purdue Extension workshops.
They will be Dec. 27 and 30 at the ADM Agricultural Innovation Center, 694 S. Russell St. on Purdue University’s campus. The Dec. 27 session will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with lunch provided. The Dec. 30 workshop will be from noon to 8 p.m., with a food break after the fi rst half.
The training is especially important in Indiana, which
led the nation in the number of documented grain-related entrapments and engulf-ments in 2012, with six.
The instruction is designed for fi re, rescue and emergency medical service personnel; grain elevator employees; and farm operators.
“It will provide them with a basic awareness of strategies for preventing and responding to grain-related entrap-ments, including partial and full engulfments,” said Steve Wettschurack, Purdue Extension agricul-tural emergency response specialist. Wettschurack,
who is lead instructor and organizing the training, is a certifi ed farm rescue instructor.
The course will cover the primary causes of grain-related entrapments, grain storage design and operation, the latest rescue strategies, and injury prevention for fi rst responders. There will be demonstrations, and attendees will participate in simulated emergencies.
Registering early is recommended because class size is limited. To register, contact Wettschurack at 765-714-4557 or [email protected].
Grain storage rescue training offered at Purdue
AP
A Washington state farmer died in this grain-bin collapse on Tuesday. Purdue University is hosting two grain-storage

DEAR DOCTOR K: Should I take a weight-loss drug to help me lose weight?
DEAR READER: If you are only mildly overweight or just want to lose a few pounds to improve your appearance, then weight-loss drugs are not for you. On the other hand, if your health is at risk and you haven’t been able to lose weight through diet and exercise, drug therapy may increase your chance of success.
Th ere are a handful of FDA-approved weight-loss drugs on the market today. One is available over-the-counter; the others are prescription only. When I was a medical student, virtually none of them were available. Th e growing epidemic of obesity has led to the develop-ment of many drugs that can be helpful. None is a “magic bullet”; none melts the fat off of you while you’re watching TV.
Th ese drugs promote
weight loss in diff erent ways. A drug called orlistat reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from the food you eat. Other drugs suppress your appetite, help you feel full and
ramp up your metabolism. Th e drugs that work this way have long, hard-to-pro-nounce medical names: lorcaserin, phentermine, diethyl-propion, benzphet-amine, phendi-metrazine, bupropion, topiramate,
zonisamide.Several drugs for Type
2 diabetes appear to also help with weight loss, when combined with lifestyle
changes: metformin, pramlin-tide, exenatide, liraglutide.
It’s ironic that the names of each of the drugs that can help with weight loss are themselves quite a mouthful.
When deciding whether to recommend weight-loss drugs to my patients, I consider their body mass index (BMI). BMI estimates a healthy weight based on height.
You should consider taking a weight-loss drug only if you:
• Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or
• Have a BMI of 27 or higher and also have one or more weight-related health problems, such as Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Before you start a weight-loss drug, consider why you overeat. For example, do you overeat because of stress, bad habits or emotional issues? If so, you may benefi t less from medication and more from psychotherapy or behavioral
therapy. On the other hand, if you overeat because of hunger, then weight-loss drugs are more likely to help.
Over the years, several weight-loss drugs have been taken off the market because of safety concerns. It can take time, and lots of people taking a new drug, before any safety issues become apparent. Most of the drugs now available have not been on the market very long, so talk to your doctor about your individual risks and benefi ts.
Finally, bear in mind that you should use weight-loss drugs only in combination with diet and physical activity. To lose weight over the long term, you need to recognize and change the behaviors that led to your weight gain. Otherwise, any weight you lose is likely to return.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 12 and weigh 204 pounds. I feel really fat and I want to go on a diet, but my mom won’t let me. I’m getting bad grades in gym class and need your help. — SAD GIRL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE DEAR SAD GIRL: By recognizing that you have a problem that you can’t deal with on your own, you have already taken an important fi rst step in resolving it. Th e next is to talk to your gym teacher about this and enlist her aid in convincing your mother to give you the help you need. Childhood obesity is rampant in this country, and all those extra pounds could negatively aff ect your health — not only now, but in the future. If you have a pediatrician, the doctor may be able to discuss the importance of a healthy diet and exercise program for you with your mom.
You will need the help of other adults to make her understand if she can’t see that you need help now.
DEAR ABBY: I am 18 and dating someone of a diff erent race. We have been together for more than a year. Th e problem is my father is very racist. Every time I sneak out to go see my
boyfriend, my father wants to know who I am with. I tell him it’s “my friends,” but he knows I’m lying. I want to tell him who I’m dating, but I know he’s going to be judgmental and rude if I introduce him to
my boyfriend. Any advice on what to do? — NERVOUS IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR NERVOUS: At 18 you are too old to be sneaking around. Your father knows something is up, and he probably suspects the reason you’re not being truthful or open, so stop lying. If he wants to know why you haven’t brought the young man around, tell him it’s because you know how he would react. And IF you decide to make introduc-tions, be sure your boyfriend knows in advance what the reaction will probably be — if he agrees to meet your dad, that is. But I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t.

ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Saudi militants were behind the massive car bombing and assault on Yemen’s military headquarters that killed more than 50 people, including foreigners, investigators said in a preliminary report released Friday. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retaliation for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens of the terror network’s leaders.
The attack — the deadliest in Sanaa since May 2012 — marked an escalation in the terror network’s battle to undermine the U.S.-al-lied government and destabilize the impover-ished Arab nation despite the drone strikes and a series of U.S.-backed military offensive against it. U.S. forces also have
been training and arming Yemeni special forces, and exchanging intelligence with the central government.
Military investigators described a two-stage operation, saying heavily armed militants wearing army uniforms fi rst blew up a car packed with 500 kilograms (more than 1,100 pounds) of explosives near an entrance gate, then split into groups that swept through a military hospital and a laboratory, shooting at soldiers, doctors, nurses, doctors and patients.
Offi cials earlier said 11 militants were killed, including the suicide bomber who drove the car. It was not clear if the 12th attacker was captured or escaped.
The investigative committee led by Yemen’s Chief of Staff Gen. Ahmed
al-Ashwal, said militants shot the guards outside the gates of the military hospital, allowing the suicide bomber to drive the car inside, but a gunfi ght forced him to detonate his explosives before reaching his target. It said the 12 militants killed, included Saudis.
Two military offi cials told The Associated Press that wounded soldiers had told them the assailants who stormed the hospital separated out the foreigners and shot everybody in the head.
Other military offi cials said American security agents were helping with the investi-gations, but that could not be confi rmed. All offi cials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief reporters.
Yemeni commandos and other security forces
besieged the militants before they could reach the ministry’s main building, preventing them from going further than the ministry’s entrance gate. All the attackers were killed by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the committee.
Yemeni security forces launched a manhunt in the capital to fi nd the perpetra-tors, sparking gunbattles that killed fi ve suspected militants and a Yemeni commando, offi cials said.
The committee, which sent its report to Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, did not explain how it came to its conclusions The report was read on state TV and a copy was obtained by The Associated Press. Hadi met Friday with the U.N. envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar to discuss the attack. He said
that “a number of assailants have been arrested,” without elaborating. He added that the “criminals will not escape justice.”
The report also raised the death toll to 56 and said more than 200 people were wounded. The foreigners killed included two aid workers from Germany, two doctors from Vietnam, two nurses from the Philip-pines and a nurse from India, according to Yemen’s Supreme Security Commis-sion.
But a spokesman for the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs, Raul Hernandez, said Friday that seven Filipinos were killed in the attack, including a doctor and nurses, while 11 others were wounded. The victims were among 40 Filipino workers in the hospital. Hernandez
said that the Philippines’ honorary consul reported that the others survived by pretending to be dead.
It was not immediately possible to reconcile the confl icting accounts. But offi cials from the military hospital said Friday that at least 10 foreigners had been killed.
Germany’s foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer also announced Friday that German employees of aid groups doing work on behalf of the German government have been ordered to leave Yemen “as quickly as possible” and “until further notice.”
Schafer also said the German embassy will continue to operate with reduced staff and “corresponding security measures.”
