Winter weather to blame for multiple accidents
By Rachael heRBeRt-VaRchetto
Staff Writer
MARSHALL COUNTY — The Marshall County Sheriff’s
Department reported 17 accident calls, at 2 p.m. EST.
At the intersection of Queen Road and U.S. 30, three accidents were reported in succession to one another.
A large SUV pulling a U-Haul trailer heading eastbound
down the highway lost control and slid down the embankment.
A few minutes later after officers arrived on scene, there
was a small collision between three semis at the intersection.
The third accident occurred when a semi drove through
the the median and did not see it, rear-ending several semis
and eventually coming to a stop in the median. No injuries
were reported at any of the three accidents.
Several other accidents were reported throughout the day
along with numerous slide-off reports.
The majority of accidents seen have taken place on major
highways U.S. 30, 31, and 6. Especially in the intersections.
The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department stated that a
travel advisory has been released, strongly suggesting that
drivers and residents stay home and off the roads. An advisory travel status means that routine travel or activities may
be restricted in areas because of a hazardous situation and
individuals should use caution or avoid those areas.
Multiple schools were closed due to the cold, blowing
snow and difficulty keeping the roads clear. The Marshall
County Highway Department ran a full crew for the day
and evening. Laurie Baker, highway administration manager, reported that the drifting was worse along north and
south roads.

MARSHALL COUNTY— With winter
weather finally hitting Marshall County full
on, now is the perfect time to review the
Marshall County Travel Advisory System.
Clyde Avery, Director of Marshall County
Emergency Management says that the county uses a travel advisory system that mirrors
the Indiana Department of
Homeland Security’s.
The system is designed
to protect community
members by providing a
standardized format that
can be used as a reference
to make informed decisions
during inclement weather
which may impact their
safety when traveling on
county roads during certain conditions.
When weather conditions become unsafe and
indicate travel be restricted, that decision is made
by the Marshall County
Commissioners
based
on information provided to them about
the road conditions in the unincorporated
areas of the county by the Marshall County
Highway Department, Marshall County
Sheriff’s Department, and the Marshall
County Emergency Management Agency.
The Marshall County Commissioners do
not make any decisions regarding the interstates and State Roads such as U.S. 30 and
U.S. 31, State Roads 17, 10 and 331. They
also do not make decisions regarding travel
restrictions inside city or
town corporate boundaries.
“We have a warning
level, a watch level and
an advisory level,” states
Avery, Director of the
Marshall County EMA.
“The advisory is the lowest
level and means that conditions could become dangerous and that routine travel
may be restricted in areas
due to hazardous situations. When we implement
a watch it simply means
that we recommend only

Staying safe in the cold tips for travelers and neighbors
By Rachael heRBeRt-VaRchetto
Staff Writer
MARSHALL COUNTY — With over 17 accidents and
counting for the tremendous winter weather occurring in
the county, drivers and residents need to be wary to be safe.
Travelers driving over the next few days should take
necessary precautions to be safe in their cars. A stranded
vehicle in the snow can go from an accident to a life or death
situation to the driver and passengers.
Blowing snow and fierce winds can create the danger of
roads, bridges, and overpasses icing over, creating hazardous driving conditions.
Drivers out in the drifting conditions should let someone know their route of travel or intended destination. By
developing a network with friends, family, and neighbors,
drivers and others can be prepared in an emergency situation with a contact.

In the event of being stranded, an emergency preparedness kit or winter survival kit should be kept in the car at
all times. Blankets, extra warm clothing, flashlights, extra
batteries, a brightly colored cloth for flagging, a bag of
sand or salt or cat litter to create traction, shovel, candles
and matches, newspapers for insulation, a first air kit, and
jumper cables are all part of a good emergency kit. Non perishable high calorie foods such as nuts, raisins, and protein
or energy bars are also good to keep in mind.
If stranded, drivers are strongly recommended to stay in
their cars, as they provide the best protection in a dire situation. Passengers and drivers should not panic. An idling
car will use an average of one gallon of gas per hour. If
concerned, rolling down a window for a small amount of
fresh air is alright.
The Indiana State Police recommended in a released
statement that drivers should keep their tanks full of gas
when driving in cold weather.
Ensure that the car’s exhaust pipe is not blocked to
helped prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
If stranded at night, leave the car’s dome light on.
Drivers are also warned to have their cell phone and a
charger available to be able to call 911 emergency services.
But if staying home appears the safer option, there are a
few things to keep in mind as well.
Winter can also be a dangerous time for all as well as
motorists.
As stated above, networks can be beneficial to everyone.
Staying in touch with family, friends, and neighbors is
important, especially during power outages. An emergency
kit, non-perishable foods, water, and other necessities
should be kept nearby.
Being a nosy neighbor can be the difference in the safety
and comfort of that individual.

recommends calling ahead of time to visit a
neighbor to give help, with the best time to
check on them during daylight hours.
“We all need help every now and then,”
said John Erickson, IDHS director of public
information. “Take some time to check on
your neighbors.”
Check with neighbors if they need help
picking things up from the store, plowing or
shoveling their driveways and sidewalks, or
it they have any food that needs preparing.
If neighbors don’t need help, provide contact information in case they may need aid
or assistance in the future.
“Being a good neighbor doesn’t take a lot
of time,” said Erickson. “You may be surprised the need of those you see often. Even
if they don’t need help, they’ll likely be glad
to know you care.”
But seniors may need the most help of all.
“Winter can be a difficult time, as the
harsh conditions especially impact seniors,”
said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead,
Inc.
Nearly half of all hypothermia deaths
are those over the age of 65. As we age, the
body’s ability to maintain a normal internal
body temperature decreases. This can create
an insensitivity to moderately cold temperatures.
One of the leading causes for hypothermia in senior citizens is due to improperly
heated homes.
Residents are recommended to keep their
thermostats at 65 degrees at a minimum.
Frequent checks on the thermostat to ensure
the home is properly heated for safety reasons is of more concern than rising heating
costs.
Homes should have adequate insulation and fireplaces or other burning stove
elements should be routinely cleaned and
checked. Furnace filters should be replaced
monthly.
For drafty areas, a sock filled with sand
and placed in drafty windowsills and door
jams should keep breezes to a minimum.
Windows and doors should be weather
stripped and doors to unused rooms should
be closed. Curtains can also be drawn tight
at night to keep heat in.
Dressing in layers is also a smart option.
Those who use electric blankets are recommended not to do so as temperature
controls are not always easy to manage at
night. Extra blankets can be added to a bed
for warmth.
Seniors can also suffer the risk of falls.
Spend a few extra minutes per day stretching to loosen limbs and stretch muscles.
For seniors who want to head outside to
shovel, make arrangements to have someone
clear driveways and sidewalks. Professional
caregivers can also assist with such tasks
as taking in mail and purchasing groceries.
Boots and shoes with non-skid soles are
the best option for moving about outdoors.
Those who utilize walkers and canes are
reminded to check the rubber tips to make
sure they are not worn smooth.
Travel, cont’d from front
essential travel be done. A warning level is
the level that would be when travel may
be restricted to emergency workers only,”
Avery explains.
When conditions become appropriate to
issue an advisory the following format is
used.
An Advisory, the lowest level, means that
routine travel or activities may be restricted
in areas because of a hazardous situation
and individuals should use caution or avoid
those areas
A Watch level travel advisory is issued
when conditions are threatening to the
safety of the public. During a watch, only
essential travel, such as to and from work,
or in emergency situations is recommended.
Emergency action plans should be implemented by businesses, schools, government
agencies and other organizations.
The highest level local travel advisory is a
Warning which means travel may be restricted to emergency management workers only.
During a warning, people are directed to
refrain from traveling and comply with necessary emergency measures.
The public is directed to cooperate with
public officials and disaster service forces
executing emergency operation plans and
obey and comply with the lawful directions
of properly identified officers.

generators, upgrades for
elementary school playgrounds, and needed athletic facilities improvements.
Superintendent Daniel
Tyree said, “This is just a
way of getting started.”
“The Board will have to
study this report and then
create priorities.” he added.
What could be the most
controversial is how to
replace all or parts of Lincoln
Junior High. A long list of
problems was noted in the
report such as the school is
running over recommended
capacity, the rooms offer
no flexibility, it is the oldest and most expensive to
repair, there are parking and
congestion issues, the infrastructure and systems are
near the end of the useful
life, and providing a security
entrance would be impossible or at the very least,
very expensive.
Other considerations for
needed upgrades is the basketball floor at Plymouth
High School. The floor is
original and was put in place
1976. According to Tyree, the
floor can be sanded to fix
cracks only one more time.
The cost for replacement is
estimated at $150,000.
Another $2.5 million could
be needed to make upgrades
to the football field, bleachers, press box and fencing.
There would be an additional expense to renovate
the concession stands, restrooms, and storage areas.

on the report can be found

Michael D. Ryan
Feb. 14, 1971 – Dec. 30, 2014
CULVER — Michael David Ryan, 43, of Culver was born
on Feb. 14, 1971 in Wabash to Chuck and Sally Ryan.
He was their second child, having an older sister, Sharon
Kathleen. The family moved to Winamac when Michael
was 7 months old and from there he grew and started kindergarten in Monterey in the Culver School system.
At the age of 9, Michael, his sister, Sharon, and his mother, Sally, joined the Flora Family in Culver with the marriage
of Sally and Robert R. Flora in 1980. Michael grew up on
the family farm and graduated from Culver Community
High School in 1989. While in high school Michael found
his niche in art and band. He played trumpet in the band
and was very proud to wear the new marching uniforms. It
was art that was his forte though, and he entered Ball State
University as an art major.
It was while at Ball State that he met and fell in love with
his only love, Deborah Grindel. They married in October
1995. Shortly after graduating from Ball State, Michael
and Deborah moved to Phoenix, Ariz. where Michael
had obtained a job as an art teacher in a newly formed
Charter School. The experience did not turn out well and
they returned to Indiana in 2002. Michael returned to the
retail work place in Indiana, working at the Izod store in
Lighthouse Mall in Michigan City.
In September 2004, Ethan Jacob Ryan was born to
Michael and Deborah and to say that Ethan was Michael’s
world is an understatement. As Ethan grew, he and Michael
ran the gambit of Daddy/Son activities. There were water
gun fights, running races in the yard (Ethan always won),
bows and arrows, and later, Scouts and baseball. Michael
lived for the time he had with Ethan.
Michael never abandoned his love of art. He continued to
paint and took up painting on the computer, specializing in
creating imaginary fairies on actual pictures he had taken
of nature. Some of his work will be shared at his memorial.
He carried his love of nature on by becoming an excellent
amateur photographer. He never tired of the beauty around
him.
Michael will be sorely missed by so many for not only his
love of nature and family, But his loyalty, sincerity and his
awesome sense of humor.
Michael is survived by his son Ethan Ryan, mother Sally
Flora, father Charles (Paula) Ryan, ex-wife Deborah Ryan,
sister Sharon (Terry) Honeycutt, niece Tori Gardner, stepbrothers Lynn (Gail) Flora and Scott (Tammy) Flora, and
half sisters Molly Ryan, Emily (Brian) Ruch, Katie (Jeff)
Ewers, and Amanda Ryan. He was preceded in death by
his dad Robert Flora, stepbrother Thomas R. Flora and
many beloved family and friends.
A time of gathering with the family will be held at the
Odom Funeral Home in Culver on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2015
from 12 – 2 p.m. EST. Funeral Services will follow at 2
p.m. EST. Burial will be in the Culver Masonic Cemetery.
Reverends James Harper and Henry Sprunger will officiate.
Memorials may please be given to www.gofundme.com/

We aren’t done with oil prices yet
A year of much lower petroleum prices may
well bring us to a full-blown economic recovery
Looking over 2015, it is clear today
that oil prices will continue to dominate our economic and political discussion for much of the year. Perhaps
it is a sad thing that such a mundane
commodity as petroleum matters so
much, but if we weren’t worried about
oil, we might be fretting the price of
oats. It is worth restating some of the
economic effects and previewing the
policy discussion about them.
Petroleum prices are part of the costs
of almost all goods and services. A
nearly 50 percent price drop over the
past half year means that the actual
costs of production for things big and
small have dropped. Sometimes this is
very significant, sometimes it is minor,
but it is always a cost reduction. This
doesn’t always mean that the price
will drop for consumers. We know that
prices are sticky and for a variety of
reasons business may not immediately
lower prices just because their costs
have dropped.
Of course I wish the prices of goods
I buy were more flexible — and I
wrote a whole doctoral dissertation
on the matter — but the economy still
benefits from the gasoline price drop.
Businesses may be more profitable and
might be able to use the extra revenue

to hire more workers or make other
investments. If they pass their profits
on to owners, this will mean more
money for retirees and other stockholders. Either way the money eventually flows back into the economy.
Notably, a positive oil price shock
may significantly alter the shortrun growth of the economy. There
remains great fragility in parts of the
U.S. economy, and although the economy is surely getting better, it is far
from good. Economists use all kinds
of euphemisms to describe a pivotal
moment for the economy as it shifts
to better performance. None have yet
to apply to our current recovery, but
gasoline prices might just be the right
tonic. Forgive me for using a football
analogy, but there is a moment in
most football games when it is clear
to everyone that one side must win.
It is an ethereal moment when victory
is largely certain, and isn’t so much
dependent on the score or the clock,
but the feeling in the air. That moment
has not yet happened in this economy,
but a year of much lower petroleum
prices may well bring us to a fullblown recovery.
This takes us to the inevitable policy discussion. The economy has been
performing weakly for seven years.
During this time, the Obama administration has done much to try to make
it better. Some has helped, but nothing
has been curative. At the same time,
this administration has actively pursued policies to keep oil prices high,
with the secretary of energy openly
advocating for much higher prices
during the darkest days of the recession. This is no hidden mystery, it
was a clear policy choice designed to
reduce U.S. oil consumption. However,
this is one policy failure most of us will
be grateful for.

Ring in the new year with a COLA
Happy New Year from Social
Security!
Put down the champagne and ring
in the New Year with a COLA! And we
don’t mean the soda. In 2015, nearly 64
million Americans who receive Social
Security or Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) will receive a cost-ofliving adjustment (COLA) increase to
their monthly benefit payments of 1.7
percent.
The average monthly Social Security
benefit for a retired worker in 2015 is
$1,328 (up from $1,306 in 2014). The
average monthly Social Security benefit for a disabled worker in 2015 is
$1,165 (up from $1,146 in 2014).
For people who receive SSI, the
maximum federal payment amount

increased to $733 (up from $721 in
2014).
Other Social Security changes in 2015
are also worth noting. For example, the
maximum amount of earnings subject
to the Social Security payroll tax will
increase to $118,500 (up from $117,000
in 2014). A worker will earn one credit
toward Social Security coverage after
paying taxes on $1,220 in earnings in
2015 (up from $1,200 in 2014). As a
reminder, eligibility for retirement benefits still requires 40 credits (usually
about 10 years of work).

Shoe
(Terre Haute) Tribune-Star
The leadership running Indiana government routinely
rejects attempts by federal officials and agencies to impose
rules on Hoosiers. States know best how to govern themselves, the Indiana leaders contend.
Yet a proposed piece of legislation brewing in the Indiana
General Assembly shows some legislators in conflict with
that home-rule concept by attempting to impose state control over local decisions.
A state representative from Kokomo, Republican Heath
VanNatter, plans to co-author a bill that would allow students to carry firearms onto college campuses. Such legislation has been tried previously. Fortunately, opposition
by university administrators and campus law enforcement
leaders persuaded lawmakers to scrap those past bills. The
Legislature commences its 2015 session this week with a
new, similar push on its agenda.
Currently, Indiana and 22 other states let universities and
colleges decide whether to ban firearms on their campuses.
Almost all of the schools choose to maintain such bans.
Only one state in the U.S. denies colleges and universities
the authority to ban the carrying of licensed handguns on
campus — Utah. Some legislators want Indiana to join that
short list.
Supporters of the guns-on-campus movement reason
that armed students could have intervened and mitigated the loss of life in tragic campus shootings at Virginia
Tech, Northern Illinois and elsewhere. Last October, the
Students for Concealed Carry on Campus group at Indiana
State University, asked the school’s Student Government
Association to support their quest to undo the university’s
prohibition of guns on campus. An ISU student had been
shot and wounded in a campus stairwell.
In response to that shooting, the group pitched a plan
that would require students and campus employees to be
licensed and complete a firearms safety course to carry a
firearm on school grounds.
The proposed state law would be similar, its proponents
in the Statehouse say.
On campuses, though, security officials emphatically
insist that such a law would complicate a university’s ability
to protect its students and staff. “I’m certain allowing possession of firearms would make it more difficult,” said Joe
Newport, director of public safety and police chief at ISU.
He disagreed with the argument that armed students would
deter gun violence, and explained that guns and college
campuses are a bad mix, with drinking and horseplay by
young people, and the potential for firearm thefts.
“The everyday risks far outweigh the chance of someone being in the right spot to safely stop an active threat,”
Newport said.
The people closest to the situation understand it best
— far better than lawmakers gathered in Indianapolis, getting coached and coaxed by lobbyists. Indiana should leave
the decision whether to allow guns on college campuses to
the leaders of those campuses.

Indiana mo-ped law long overdue
Kokomo Tribune
We’ve all seen them on the streets, and their popularity is
only growing. Mo-peds have coasted in a legal gray area for
years in Indiana. A lack of registration, testing and licensure
allowed those without other means of transport to join other
vehicles on the road without many prerequisites, often making for dangerous driving for all involved.
Owners now are required to register their scooters, thanks
to a law sponsored by State Rep. Milo Smith, R-Columbus,
and signed into law by Gov. Mike Pence last year. The new
mandate took effect Thursday.
Not only that, but scooter operators will also be compelled to obtain a valid state identification and pass a road
sign test, according to a story by Tribune reporter Mike
Fletcher we published this past summer. (Though, they still
won’t have to have insurance for their vehicles.)
This change is a positive step for everyone on the road, as
the laws surrounding mo-ped use have been muddy at best
for years. Unlike cars, trucks, buses and every other type of
vehicle on the road, police officers may not be as familiar with
the current legislation surrounding scooter usage. This law
should help bring some much-needed clarity to the situation.
Mo-ped operators shouldn’t see this as a complete downside, either, as the maximum speed has been raised to 35
mph. Owners may also see registration of their vehicles as a
positive step. Coupled with the law’s stipulation that dealers and manufacturers title their motorized bikes properly,
the requirement to register may help recover more stolen
mo-peds in the future. Anyone who listens to the police
scanner or reads the police reports knows how pervasive the
problem of stolen mo-peds truly is.
Mo-peds use the same roadway as everyone else. This
new law is a common sense way to make sure we’re all on
the same page.

Warriors whip Pacers; Pistons down Mavs Rangers top
Ducks, Bruins edge
Penguins in OT
WARRIORS 117,
PACERS 102
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
— Klay Thompson scored
40 points, and Golden State
shook off a slow start on the
way to its fifth straight win.
Thompson made 14 of 25
shots, including 6 of 11 from
3-point range, and Stephen
Curry added 21 points and a
season-high-tying 15 assists
to help the NBA-leading
Warriors (28-5) stretch their
home winning streak to 13
games.
The Pacers pulled ahead
by 11 points early and gave
Golden State a rare fight
despite center Roy Hibbert
limping off with a sprained
left ankle in the first quarter.
The Warriors roared back to
tie it at 50 at the half, opened
the third quarter on a 14-1
run and made the game look
easier than it really was with
the final margin.
Solomon Hill scored 21
points and David West had
16 for the Pacers.
RANGERS 4, DUCKS 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Rick Nash scored his 25th goal,
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves, and the New York Rangers
beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 on Wednesday night for their
11th victory in 12 games.
Derick Brassard, Mats Zuccarello and Dominic Moore
also scored for the Rangers, who opened their three-game
California road trip with a dominant effort against the overall NHL leaders.
Francois Beauchemin scored midway through the third
period for the Ducks, who have just one regulation victory
in eight games.
Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 26 shots in his first home start in
more than seven years for the Ducks, who re-signed their
former backup goalie last month after a seven-year absence.
BRUINS 3, PENGUINS 2, OT
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Patrice Bergeron scored twice,
including a deflection past Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury
2:43 into overtime to lift Boston to a victory over the
Penguins.
Bergeron got just enough of Milan Lucic’s blast from the
point to put it past Fleury as the Bruins ended a three-game
losing streak.
Zdeno Chara scored his third goal of the season for Boston.
Tuukka Rask stopped 37 shots. The last eight meetings
between these teams have been decided by one goal.
Beau Bennett and Evgeni Malkin scored for Pittsburgh.
Fleury made 21 saves but had no chance on Bergeron’s winner.
The Bruins have scuffled through the first half of the
season. They went just 5-6-3 in December, their first losing
month in nearly two years and limped into Pittsburgh coming off three straight overtime losses.
JAZZ 97, BULLS 77
CHICAGO
(AP)
—
Derrick Favors had 20 points
and 11 rebounds, and Utah
used a strong defensive
effort to get the win.
The Jazz held the Bulls to
a season-low point total on
just 28-of-84 (33.3 percent)
shooting. The Bulls were
averaging 103.1 points.
Gordon Hayward had 18
points for Utah (13-23), and
Trey Burke scored 17. Seven
of the Jazz’s wins have come
on the road.
Jimmy Butler led the Bulls
(25-11) with 16 points and
11 rebounds, and reserve Taj
Gibson added 15 points.
Chicago point guard
Derrick Rose had just seven
points on 3-for-15 shooting.
The 2011 NBA MVP is shooting 25.5 percent (28 for 110)
in his last six games.
PISTONS 108,
MAVERICKS 95
DALLAS (AP) — D.J.
Augustin scored 17 of his 26
points in the fourth quarter,
and Detroit earned its seventh consecutive victory.
The Pistons (12-23) have
the NBA’s longest current
winning streak.
Greg Monroe had 27
points and 18 rebounds for
Detroit. Brandon Jennings
added 14 points, and Jodie
Meeks had 11.
Andre Drummond had a
game-high 19 boards for the
Pistons, who outrebounded
the Mavericks 60-43.

HAWKS 98, GRIZZLIES 86
ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff
Teague scored 25 points, and
the Atlanta Hawks beat the
Memphis Grizzlies 96-86 on
Wednesday night for their
sixth consecutive win.
Atlanta has won 20 of
22 overall. The Eastern
Conference-leading Hawks
also have a nine-game winning streak against teams
from the West.
The Hawks grabbed control with a 10-0 run following an 84-all tie. Al Horford,
who had 12 points, started the run with a jumper.
Teague and Kyle Korver followed with 3-pointers and
Teague added another basket for a 94-84 lead.
Mike Conley led Memphis
with 17 points. Marc Gasol
had 16.
ROCKETS 105,
CAVALIERS 93
CLEVELAND (AP) —
James Harden scored 21
points, Dwight Howard had
17 points and 19 rebounds,
and Houston roared past
Cleveland in the fourth
quarter.
The Cavaliers played their
sixth straight game without
LeBron James. The four-time
NBA MVP said he’s on target to return in a week from
a strained back and knee.
The Rockets handed the
Cavs their seventh loss in
nine games.
Kyrie Irving scored a season-high 38 points for the
Cavs, who lost their fourth
straight at home. J.R. Smith
didn’t score in 19 minutes
in his Cleveland debut. The
unpredictable guard was
acquired earlier in the week
from the Knicks along with
guard Iman Shumpert.
During the game, the Cavs
pulled off their second big
trade in three days, acquiring 7-foot-1 center Timofey
Mozgov from Denver in
exchange for two first-round
draft picks.
HORNETS 98,
PELICANS 94
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)
— Kemba Walker scored 31
points, including a tiebreaking three-point play with 1.4
seconds left, and Charlotte
earned its third consecutive
win.
Walker drove the right
side of the lane and converted an 11-foot jumper after
Jrue Holiday hit him on the
arm. Walker then made the
foul shot for a 97-94 lead.
The Pelicans had one last
chance to tie, but Marvin
Williams stole the inbounds
pass at half court and was
fouled. He went 1 for 2 at the
line to seal the victory.
Anthony Davis had 32
terbacks. Two weeks ago
against Detroit, Rodgers had
to be carted to the locker
room after aggravating the
calf injury.
He limped back on to the
field in the middle of the
third quarter, throwing for
one score and tumbling in
from 1 yard for another to
help lead the Packers to victory and a fourth straight
NFC North crown.
Rodgers is such a stickler
for preparation that no one
in the locker room doubts
the team’s leader can play
well without practice.
“We would definitely love
to be able to have that preparation, but health is the most
important thing for him
at this time. You’ve got to
trust the system,” receiver
Randall Cobb said.
The injury, though, has
limited Rodgers’ mobility
the last two weeks, which in
turn has affected his trademark ability to extend plays.
That mobility has bailed out
the Packers in potentially
troublesome situations time
and again in Rodgers’ seven
years as starter.
The rest of the Packers
have promised they will
help pick up any slack.
In the passing game, that
means an offensive line that
has been playing well might
need to hold blocks longer
to protect Rodgers in what
would have otherwise been
a scrambling situation.
Receivers who must be
prepared in order to earn
Rodgers’ trust and targets
must be even sharper on the
field.
“Just making sure you’re
creating more separation
and just doing everything
you can to make sure you’re
running your route as well
as possible, make it less
(stressful for) him,” rookie
wideout Davante Adams
said.
Rodgers didn’t roll out
much the last two games
after getting hurt. The
Packers lined him up in
shotgun formations much
of the time, even on running plays. Rodgers still displayed his typically accurate
arm in making quick-strike
tosses on slants and other
short routes.
In the win against Tampa
Bay, Rodgers used “no-look”
passes to try to take advantage when the defense was
in zone coverage.
“Look at the No. 3 receiver and throw it to No. 2.
Did that a few times against
Tampa, and the reaction
from the defender is always
RED WINGS 3, FLAMES 2
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Justin Abdelkader and Henrik
Zetterberg both had a goal and an assist to lead Detroit over
Calgary.
Riley Sheahan also scored for Detroit (22-10-9), which has
won five of seven. The Red Wings have won two of the first
three games on a six-game trip.
Mason Raymond and Mikael Backlund scored for Calgary
(21-17-3). The Flames are 3-2 with one game to go in a sixgame homestand.
The Flames reached the halfway point of the season in
ninth place in the Western Conference, two points back of the
second wild card spot.
Detroit is third in the Atlantic Division, one point behind
Montreal.

Rodgers sits out Packers practice, still expected to start
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) —
Aaron Rodgers didn’t practice Wednesday because of a
lingering left calf injury. The
quarterback left no doubt
about his plans for Sunday
when the Green Bay Packers
host the Dallas Cowboys.
“No, I’m going Sunday,”
Rodgers said. “Just a matter
of how.”
Missing practice was part
of the plan for Rodgers, who
has dealt with the injury for
about three weeks. While the
Packers practiced inside the
frigid Hutson Center training facility, Rodgers stayed
exclusively in the training
room for treatment.
He hopes that occasional
acupuncture will also help,
along with the valuable rest
that the Packers received for
earning a bye for the opening round of the playoffs.
It’s possible Rodgers could
also wear a wrap to further
protect his lower left leg.
There
is
progress,
though “it’s never enough
for Aaron,” coach Mike
McCarthy said. “But I think
the training staff feels good
about it and we feel confident in the direction we’re
going.”
Rodgers at less than 100
percent health is still better than most other quar-
TORONTO (AP) — Marcus Johansson and Eric Fehr
scored two goals apiece, and Washington spoiled the debut
of Toronto interim coach Peter Horachek.
Brooks Laich and Alex Ovechkin, with an empty-net goal,
also scored for Washington, which is 12-6-3 on the road. It
was Ovechkin’s 20th goal of the season and 50th career point
against Toronto.
Braden Holtby’s 22nd straight start tied Wayne
Stephenson’s club record as Washington, 7-1-2 in its last 10
games, won its third in a row.
Daniel Winnik and Trevor Smith scored for Toronto, which
has lost three straight and is 2-8 in its last 10. Former Maple
Leafs coach Randy Carlyle was fired on Tuesday.
Horachek was tabbed as interim coach earlier Wednesday.
The Maple Leafs started well but fell into bad habits.
Washington improved to 11-4-2 in its last 17 games against
Toronto.
fun,” Rodgers said. “It’s
just a matter of manipulating defenders with your eye
control.”
And even with the sore
calf, don’t forget that
Rodgers still called for a
quarterback sneak against
Detroit that led to a 1-yard
score.
“Well you never know
when he’s going to extend.
He may be limited with
mobility right now, but you
look at last week, or the
week before in Detroit, he
still moved around,” Cobb
said. “We stress week in and
week out, regardless what’s
going on back at quarterback (to be able) to create
separation at the line of
scrimmage and get open on
your routes.”
NOTES: DT Josh Boyd
(knee) and TE Brandon
Bostick (illness) also missed
practice. CB Davon House
(shoulder) was limited,
along with OL Josh Sitton
for a lingering toe injury.
... McCarthy kept the doors
open at the indoor practice field to let in the arctic
air. “You didn’t like it?” he
joked to a reporter. “It was
22 degrees inside, so that’s
about what we’re looking
for at game time.”

FSU’s Winston entering draft
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State quarterback
Jameis Winston has decided to enter the NFL draft. He
announced his decision on the same day the woman who
accused him of sexual assault filed a lawsuit against the
school’s board of trustees.
The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner said he will forgo his
final two years of eligibility. Winston’s statement was released
to ESPN by The Legacy Agency.
Winston was the most successful quarterback in college
football during the last two seasons, but also faced lengthy
sexual assault investigations. He was not charged by police
and was cleared by the university.
In a lawsuit filed against the school’s board of trustees, the
woman who accused him of sexual assault claimed the board
had an unreasonable response to her accusations and created
a hostile educational environment for her. The lawsuit seeks
unspecified damages, including reimbursement for tuition,
damages for emotional pain and suffering and loss of past and
present earning and earning capacity.
Representatives for the woman declined comment.
Florida State president John Thrasher released a statement
saying he is disappointed in the lawsuit, but the university
looks forward to “addressing these meritless allegations in
court.” The university has contended it took all the proper
steps in fulfilling its Title IX obligations, and “FSU did
everything the plaintiff asked for and that the assertions FSU
shirked its Title IX obligations are false.”

WIZARDS 101,
KNICKS 91
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Knicks set a record for
longest in-season slide in the
proud franchise’s 69-year
history.
The defeat was the Knicks’
13th in a row, surpassing the
mark set at the end of the
1984-85 season, and their
23rd in 24 games. It featured
all the now-familiar follies
and a few new ones: passes
that went nowhere, shots
that became bricks, and Tim
Hardaway Jr.’s bizarre decision to pass the ball away
from the basket when he
had a two-on-one fast break
right in front of him.
John Wall had 18 points
and eight assists for the
Wizards, who avoided slipping in an obvious trap
game after a tough fivegame road trip.
Jose Calderon scored 17
points for the Knicks.
CLIPPERS 114,
LAKERS 89
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Blake Griffin scored 27
points, Chris Paul had 24
and the Clippers routed the
Lakers for their ninth win in
10 games against the 16-time
NBA champions.
Griffin also had nine
rebounds and eight assists.
Paul added 11 assists.
The Clippers led by 10
after the opening quarter,
stretched it to 22 points at
halftime and were up by
36 going into the fourth in
winning their fifth straight
against the Lakers. They are
enjoying their most successful stretch against the Lakers
in franchise history.
Jordan Clarkson scored 14
points for the Lakers. Kobe
Bryant finished with four
points, eight rebounds and
seven assists after going
scoreless in the first half.
KINGS 104, THUNDER 83
SACRAMENTO,
Calif.
(AP) — Rudy Gay scored 28
points and Darren Collison
added 24 to help Sacramento
snap a 12-game losing streak
to Oklahoma City.
DeMarcus Cousins had
23 points and 15 rebounds,
and the Kings rolled to just
their fourth win in 11 games
under new coach Tyrone
Corbin and first against
Oklahoma City since Feb.
12, 2012.
Kevin Durant scored 24
points for the Thunder, who
shot just 32.6 percent and
lost both games of a brief
Northern California road
trip.
This marked the first time
all season that Oklahoma
City lost back-to-back games
with Durant and Russell
Westbrook in the lineup. The
Thunder had won nine of 11
with their two stars healthy
before the losses to Golden
State and Sacramento.
SUNS 113,
TIMBERWOLVES 111
MINNEAPOLIS
(AP)
— Gerald Green scored
15 of his 21 points in the
fourth quarter, and Phoenix
handed Minnesota its 13th
straight loss.
Green hit three 3-pointers in the fourth, helping
the Suns wipe away a seven-point deficit to start the
period in the blink of an
eye. Goran Dragic added
25 points and the Suns
(22-16) survived a scare
from the undermanned
Timberwolves to win for the
10th time in 12 games.
Andrew Wiggins scored
25 points, but missed a
3-pointer at the buzzer that
would have won the game
for the Timberwolves, who
haven’t won since Dec.
10. Mo Williams added 23
points and 11 assists and the
Wolves led by as many as 13
points. But they turned the
ball over 22 times to fall to
5-29 on the season.
Denver’s third consecutive
win, and Arron Afflalo had
17 against his former team.
The Nuggets also got a
key contribution from Jusuf
Nurkic, who had eight
points in his first career
start in place of Timofey
Mozgov, who was traded to
Cleveland earlier in the day
in exchange for two firstround draft picks.
Nikola Vucevic scored 20
points for the Magic, who
lost for the sixth straight
time in Denver. Victor
Oladipo had 17 points.
CELTICS 89, NETS 81
NEW YORK (AP) —
Avery Bradley scored 21
points, and Boston snapped
a three-game losing streak.
Tyler Zeller added 18
points for the Celtics, who
won for just the second time
in nine games by outplaying the Nets over the final
three quarters after a slow
start. They trailed by 11 in
the first half but gradually
pulled away after halftime
NUGGETS 93, MAGIC 90
DENVER (AP) — Ty
Lawson scored 23 points in
despite shooting under 40
percent for the game.
Joe Johnson scored 17
points for the Nets, who
dropped their third in a row
and fell to 16-19. Mason
Plumlee had 16 points and
12 rebounds but shot just 6
for 11 at the free-throw line.
BUCKS 97, 76ERS 77
PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
Brandon Knight and Khris
Middleton scored 18 points
apiece, leading Milwaukee
to the victory.
The Bucks (19-18) shot
53.9 percent from the field in
their fifth consecutive road
win. Zaza Pachulia had 11
points and 12 rebounds, and
reserve O.J. Mayo added 15
points.
K.J. McDaniels scored 14
points for the Sixers (5-29),
who were trying to win consecutive home games for the
first time since the start of
the 2013-14 season.
The Sixers shot 30.1 percent from the field.

Remakes are tough to pull off
Dustin
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D.,
AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
Remakes are tough to pull
off. Remember “Conan the
Barbarian” in 2011? It made
Arnold Schwarzenegger in
the 1982 version look like Sir
John Gielgud! Then there’s
“The Longest Yard” (2005
and 1974), not to mention
“Planet of the Apes” (2001
and 1968). But the remake
of the Gardasil anti-cancer
vaccine that’s just been made
available — well, this one’s
worth taking a seat for!
This powerful weapon
against cervical, anal, vulvar and vaginal cancers, as
well as precancerous cervical, vulvar, vaginal and anal
lesions and genital warts, has
Blondie
been upgraded. It now works
against NINE strains of cancer-causing HPV (human
papilloma virus). That’s five
more strains than were covered by the earlier vaccine.
These additional five strains
cause about 20 percent of
cervical cancers.
In a large study, Gardasil
9 was found to be 97 percent effective in preventing
cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancers associated with
those five added strains and
just as effective as the earlier
Gardasil vaccine against the
other four.
The vaccine is available for
girls 9-26 and boys 9-15 as
a shot, in three doses. You
get dose 1; then two months
later, dose 2; then 4 months
after that, dose 3. If your
child has already had an
anti-HPV vaccine, ask your
doc if he or she can get this
one to expand the protection.
Common side effects are
injection site pain, swelling,
redness and headaches. The
inoculation benefits probably
exceed the risks by over 4,000
to 1. But if you’re uncomfortable with any reaction to this
cancer-prevention vaccine,
contact your doctor.

Online search yields shocking news about live-in boyfriend
DEAR ABBY: Recently, a member of the
family suggested that my mother Google the
name of my sister’s new live-in boyfriend.
(Another family member said he had done it
months ago.) When Mom did, she saw that
he is a convicted sex offender. We were all
shocked as he has
been very good
to my sister and
other members of
the family.
So far, we
haven’t said anything to my sister
or her boyfriend,
and I am unsure
what to do. I have
a small child
and it makes me
nervous. I don’t
By Jeanne PhilliPs
know if my sister
knows, and I don’t know how to bring it up.
I am upset with my family member
because he didn’t say anything immediately
after finding this information. I’m upset at
my sister if she knows and hasn’t been honest with us, and I am upset with this man.
What should I do? — UPSET IN VIRGINIA
DEAR UPSET: First let me tell you what
NOT to do. Do not remain silent and stew.
Tell your sister everything you have written
to me and ask if she’s aware that her livein boyfriend is on a sex offender website.
If his offense concerned a minor child, it
is possible that he is not supposed to be
around children — and if he has been that
the authorities would like to know. But first,
Dear Abby
discuss this with your sister who may — or
may not — be able to put your fears to rest.
******
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a widower for a year. While he was eager to jump
into the dating pool, he still has a mini
shrine of his late wife’s ashes and belongings in their house. I can’t bring myself to
have dinner or sleep over there with that
overt presence.
He recently told me he’s saving her
remains to be intermingled with his when
he dies. It was among a long list of her afterlife instructions he described. He’s in good
health. I figure he has 25 years — or more —
life expectancy before the big event.
Realistically, shouldn’t I expect more than
second best in his world? Is there a time
limit for grieving, or does the deceased get
to control her hubby from the other side? —
WAITING AND WONDERING
DEAR WAITING AND WONDERING:
Realistically, this has less to do with what
you should “expect” than conclusions the
widower must arrive at on his own. Ask him
in a nonconfrontational way how he FEELS
about carrying out all of his deceased wife’s
wishes — and whether he thinks it is fair
to himself or you. Be prepared to discuss it
without becoming emotional. His answers
will tell you everything you need to know
about a future with him.
P.S. If your relationship with him is good,
why not focus on the present and not worry
about what happens to his body when he’s
gone? However, if this is a deal breaker, then
don’t invest any more time.

A world of flavor: What’s hot in 2015
By AngelA Shelf MedeAriS
The KiTchen Diva
Unlike yoga pants, white trainers and fake
fur, the food we eat might be considered more
classic than trendy. The fact is, we all need to
eat. Basic and vital as it seems though, food,
like fashion, is not without its fads.
More than a succession of fads however, is
the history behind what and how we eat. In
this column we’ve talked about the how and
why of certain foods we’ve grown up eating,
and other foods we’ve grown to love. Now,
more than ever, our cuisine choices reflect
our vast multicultural population and the
willingness of many of us to try something
new.
In 2015, there is a high-pitched buzz about
food. Heat and spice will be hot, a trend
that has been growing steadily and now is
predicted to explode. Ethnic cuisines from
all over the world, with a focus on new and
exotic flavors, will take the stage.
Is it because we are just bored and want
something else for dinner? Or is it because
we now work and live with people from all
over the world and, like people do, we share
our food, and in the process discover something new that tastes delicious? It’s probably
all these things, and something more. The
health of our nation is a growing concern. In
our desire to eat for wellness, we’ve discovered many elements of global cuisines that
possess health benefits we need while keeping our diets interesting and tasty.
Also on the rise are recipes highlighting
umami vegetables, which exhibit the “fifth
taste” that gives food a pleasant, desirable
flavor. Our taste buds are naturally attracted
to these foods, which include sweet potatoes, mushrooms and nori. This year, try
using a Japanese Seven Spice mixture in
your recipes, or a flavorful Middle Eastern
Shawarma Spice Blend.
My recipe for Chicken Shawarma converts
what has been a restaurant recipe into a dish
that can be prepared at home. The Shawarma
spice blend is a cure for taste buds that are
tired of the same old chicken dish. It’s an
adventurous way to kick off a new year.
SHAWARMA SPICE MIX
Toasting the spices in a dry pan for 1 minute before using them in a recipe enhances
the flavors.
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano or thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Mix all ingredients together. This spice
mix will keep in an airtight container for
about 4 weeks. Makes about 1/4 cup.

1 1/2 pounds thinly cut skinless, boneless
chicken breast
1 pound thinly cut skinless, boneless
chicken thighs
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
4 tablespoons plain, Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 head of garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons Shawarma Spice Mix
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds
4 pita bread rounds
1. Rinse chicken pieces with cold water,
then cut horizontally into thinner cuts of
about 1/2 inch (each piece could possibly be
split into 2 slices depending on thickness).
Place chicken pieces in large bowl.
2. In a blender, mix lemon juice, tomato
sauce, yogurt, vinegar, garlic, oil and spice
mix. Add the mixture to chicken and mix
well. Cover and let marinate in refrigerator
at least 4 hours, or overnight.
3. When ready, grill marinated chicken
and some sliced tomatoes using grill pan
on stovetop. Heat grill pan and add 2 tablespoons oil. Or alternately, grill using Panini
grill or George Foreman grill for about 15
minutes on medium heat. You also can cook
the chicken on a BBQ grill. Baking or broiling in the oven will dry out the chicken.
4. Once cooked, allow chicken to cool,
and then shred as thinly as possible.
Traditionally, the pita bread is spread with
Lebanese Garlic paste, or you can use a
good-quality mayonnaise mixed with 1/2
teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon
of lemon juice.
5. Spread the chicken shreds along diameter of a piece of pita bread. Some restaurants place French fries inside the sandwich.
Others add a cabbage and mayo salad, along
with salty Middle Eastern cucumber pickles.
You can substitute shredded coleslaw and
sliced dill pickles, if desired, and grilled or
fresh tomatoes. Makes 4 servings.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
At Your Service Call
Dear Readers: I’m going
to share a hint I learned
from my mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977),
that has saved me money
as well as a SERVICE
CALL.
When a service person
comes to work on an appliance, the heating and air-conditioning system, or
fix a water leak or the like, watch and learn. Don’t
just walk off and leave the person to do the work.
The large majority of service people
are very honest, but once in a while a “rotten
apple” will turn up. Stay with the service person,
watch what is being done and ask questions about
how he or she fixes the problem, and if there is
something you could have done that might prevent
a service call the next time. Don’t just walk out of
the room! The service person doesn’t know your
home, so don’t disappear. -- Heloise
SAFETY PIN
Dear Heloise: My hint for static-electricity shock: Pin a safety pin underneath the hem
of your clothing. It works! -- Lorena in Bella Vista,
Ark.
Lorena, this is a classic hint that has
been around for years. It’s time to remind folks
about it. The safety pin acts as a little lightning
rod. But surely you won’t get struck by lightning,
for heaven’s sake!
Static cling and “zaps” show up this
time of year. When you turn on the heating system,
the air becomes dry, and it’s a perfect situation for
“ZAP” time. You know it’s going to happen when
you touch something metal, or touch another person.
Here are a few hints to prevent that
shocking jolt:
* Simmer a large pot of water on the
stove to add moisture to the air.
* Bowls of water placed around the
home can help add moisture to the air. Applying
lotion to the skin and a thin layer over hosiery will
keep skirts from sticking to legs.
* A small spray bottle filled with water,
and maybe a drop of your favorite essential oil (I
love lavender), is a Heloise Hint. Just spray with
a fine mist two or three times in the room to add
moisture to the air.
-- Heloise
MEDICAL NOTEBOOK
Dear Heloise: My husband has several
health issues, so we see several doctors and have
frequent hospital visits and stays.
I purchase a large three-ring binder at
the beginning of each year to use for all the paperwork we receive. I use dividers to separate the
doctor types, tests and so on. I also make copies
of his ID, insurance card and medicine list to help
speed up check-ins.
I have only one item (the binder) to
take when it’s time to go.

Genealogical Society meeting Jan. 20
PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Genealogical
Society is hosting a group discussion on researching the
“facts” in The Queen of the Huckleberry Marsh. The 1879
book was self-published by 21-year-old Adelbert Knott of
Tyner. The central character is a 23-year-old woman who is
only referred to by nicknames. She married Jake Falconbury,
age 19, in August 1879. The supporting cast is a long list of
names that sound suspiciously like real people in Tyner,
Walkerton and Polk Twp.
Family history researcher Karin Rettinger became interested in verifying the long list of claims made in the book.
With help and encouragement from Deane and Joyce Sarber
and Anna Liechty, claims were investigated and facts
established. After nearly a year of cooperative research and
sharing discoveries, the fate of the woman known as the
Huckleberry Queen was revealed. Deane Sarber tracked the
Queen to a cemetery in Huntington County.
There are two enduring legends that cloud the research.
One was that the Queen was dying in a hovel near Valparaiso
in 1902. This story did not originate in the Valparaiso area,
the source is suspect, and the subject unrelated to the
woman interviewed in Knott’s book. The other is the story
of the Queen being Mary Edwards, a young woman from
Plymouth whose father lost his legs in a railroad accident.
The program is open to people who have read the book
and are interested in participating in a group discussion of
the scenarios found within it.
The discussion will be at
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20 in
the conference room of the
Marshall County Museum.

Among the topics covered will be the 20-acre prairie planting, improvements to the cabins and the status of bald
eagles and osprey.
Plans for 2015, including an overview of a planned new
wetland restoration and planning for State Park’s centennial celebrations will also be discussed. There will be ample
opportunity for the audience to ask questions as well.
This program is open to the public and is free of charge.
Financial aid night at Triton Jan. 14
BOURBON — Triton High School is hosting a financial aid
night at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, in the high school library.
This program will provide financial aid information to
high school seniors and their parents, or anyone else in the
community who plans to attend a post-secondary institution during the 2015-16 school year.
A financial aid director from Ancilla College will explain
how to accurately complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required by most colleges
for financial aid consideration. Parents and students will
receive the FAFSA on the web worksheets at this meeting. If
parents/students prefer to fill out a paper FAFSA instead of
the electronic FAFSA on the web, they should download a
copy and print it out at www.fafsa.ed.gov or call 1-800-4333243 to request a copy be sent to them.
