Assad’spositionweakens
BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’swounded interior minister cutshort his treatment at a Beiruthospital Wednesday and returnedhome for fear of being arrested byLebanese authorities, while Syria’schief of military police defected tothe opposition, becoming one ofthe highest-ranking officers toswitch sides.
The twin developmentsreflected the deepening isolationof Syrian President Bashar Assad’sgovernment, which has suffered anumber of setbacks on the battle-field as well.
In the latest challenge, rebelslaunched a massive attack on amilitary base in the northernprovince of Idlib after laying siegeto it for weeks.
The defector, Maj. Gen. Abdul-Aziz Jassem al-Shallal, becomesone of the most senior members ofAssad’s regime to join the opposi-tion during the 21-month-oldrevolt against his authoritarianrule.
Al-Shallal appeared in a videoaired on Arab TV late Tuesdaysaying that he was casting his lotwith “the people’s revolution.”
He said the military “hasbecome a gang for killing anddestruction,” and he accused it of“destroying cities and villages andcommitting massacres against ourinnocent people who came out todemand freedom.”
Meanwhile, Interior MinisterMohammed al-Shaar, who waswounded in a suicide bombingDec. 12 in Damascus and wasbrought to Beirut for treatment aweek ago, left the hospital early

WASHINGTON —When U.S. Rep-elect SusanBrooks takes her seat inCongress next week, theHouse will have tworepresentatives with deeproots in northeast Indiana.
Republican Rep. MarlinStutzman, of course,represents the local 3rdDistrict and lives inLaGrange County.
Brooks, 51, a newlyelected Republican fromCarmel, claims strongfamily ties to Garrett and thelakes area near Rome Cityand Wolcottville.
“It’s a place that we lovecoming home to, and wefeel very much a part ofnorthern Indiana,” saidBrooks, whose parents Boband Marilyn Wiant, live onAdams Lake northeast ofWolcottville.
Born in Auburn, Brooksgrew up in the Fort Wayne
area and graduated fromHomestead High School,where her father was the
head footballcoach at thetime.
“Whenshe wasselected forGirls Stateback in highschool, shecame homeand thought
she would like to become alawyer,” Brooks’ mothersaid. “She set high goals forherself.”
“She was very committedto things even way back inhigh school,” her father said.
Bob Wiant leftHomestead to becomefootball coach at East NobleHigh School in the 1980s,while Brooks was in collegeat Miami University ofOhio.
Brooks came homeduring the summer of 1982
to work at Kraft Foods inKendallville.
“It was a great experi-ence, actually,” she saidabout her second-shift job atKraft, “I had never workedin a manufacturing facilitybefore, so I learned a bitabout manufacturing, aboutprocess and teamwork.” Shestill remembers the companygiving everyone a steakdinner as a reward for asafety achievement.
The Kraft experiencecame in handy for Brooks’leadership role with IvyTech Community Collegefor five years, her last jobbefore winning election toCongress, she said.
While her father wasteaching and coaching atEast Noble, her parentsbought a home on AdamsLake. That carried on afamily tradition. During herchildhood, Brooks’grandparents, the lake Jesseand Mary Jane (Gump)
Fulk, owned a cottage onWitmer Lake nearWolcottville.
“We grew up coming tothe lake from Fort Wayne.Rome City and Wolcottvillewere the areas I’ve grown upin my entire life,” Brookssaid. She remembersspending summers waterskiing. On Sundays, thefamily attended St. Gaspar’sCatholic Church north ofRome City, where hermother has been the organistsince the mid-1980s.Brooks’ aunt and uncle,Duane and Beverly Rowe,now live in the familycottage on Witmer Lake
Brooks also can trace herfamily tree to Garrett, whereboth of her parentsgraduated from Garrett HighSchool. Her uncle, DaveWiant, recently served eightyears as mayor of Garrett,though he from the oppositepolitical party.
“He is what I woulddefinitely call a Blue DogDemocrat, a fiscally conser-vative person,” Brooks saidabout her uncle. “He wasabout good government. Wecertainly have that incommon.”
Frustration over federalfinances led Brooks to
decide to run for Congressin mid-2011.
“I had never run foroffice before. I had neverseriously considered runningfor office before,” she said.
The decision to enter therace came on her 25thwedding anniversary, shesaid, Her children were 18and 21 years old at the time.
“They became incrediblyexcited about it,” she said.
Brooks believes shebrings a strong set ofqualifications toWashington. She served asdeputy mayor ofIndianapolis in the late1990s, then as U.S. attorneyfor the Southern District ofIndiana, overseeing 62counties, from 2001-2007.She then became senior vicepresident and generalcounsel for Ivy TechCommunity College,working to help Hoosiersget training and find jobs.
In this May’s GOPprimary election, sheprevailed with a margin of 1percentage point in field ofseven candidates thatincluded East Noblegraduate David McIntosh.She then won by a comfort-able 20 percentage points inNovember.

MANY ONE ONLY SPECIALS
It has been my practice,in late fall, winter and earlyspring, to feed a small flockof wild ducks at a park nearmy home. With a loneexception, I do not feed theflocks of Canada geese thatgather by the pond at thistime of year to escapehunters’ guns. I view thesegeese asover-productiveguanofactories.
Feedingonly theducks islargely amatter oftiming. Theducks arriveon the pondat dawn’sfirst graylight. Theyquickly consume all theshelled corn. Nothing is leftfor the geese which waituntil full sunrise to fly tothe pond. It is an arrange-ment I find satisfactory.
The exception is a loneCanada goose that I firstnoticed in the predawngrayness several weeks ago.It stood on the far edge ofthe pond, making noattempt to take flight. Iassumed it had spent thenight on the pond. It wasthere the next dawn — andthe next. I thought itpossibly had been woundedby a hunter, making itsescape to land on the pondto rest and recover.
The goose proved wary.It preferred the far side ofthe pond when I approachedthe water’s edge to feed theducks, behavior thatcontrasted with othervisiting geese when Iarrived late for the morningfeeding. These geese wouldswim or walk toward me,shoulder the ducks out ofthe way and try to eat thecorn I scattered for theducks.
I started my daily feeding
of the ducks (mostlymallards) more than a yearago. It gave this oldwildfowler pleasure. I liketo watch ducks. I amobsessed by them. I hopedmy shelled corn would getthe ducks (especially thehens) through the winter ingood physical condition,better prepared for asuccessful spring nesting.
When the pond freezesover, as it did this pastweek, the ducks retreat toopen water on a nearby riverand I scatter corn on theriverbank. Last winter I helda flock of nearly 100mallards, along with a lonehen wood duck.
The river is not idealduck habitat, being narrowand deep. But the mallardsmanage, especially whenthere is an abundance offree food.
In early December Ibegan wondering whatwould happen to the lonegoose once the pond’ssurface turned to ice, ashappened a few days ago.Would it walk to the riverand join the ducks?
I recalled that nearly 50years ago an Arctic-nestingblue goose landed on thelocal millrace and became apermanent resident. In thosedays we called them bluegeese; today biologistsdescribe them as the bluephase of the snow goose.
To my mind adult bluegeese are the prettiest of allgeese, with the possibleexception of the emperorgoose found in the AleutianIslands. I have never seen awild emperor goose. Thelast time I checked, theywere protected fromhunting due to a populationdecline.
My lone Canada goosegradually became moretrusting. After the recenthard freeze, I would go tothe pond each evening andscatter corn for the bird. Itwould not eat until I moved
a good distance away. Ithought the corn would giveit more calories than thegrass on which it grazed. Noducks competed for theyellow kernels.
I viewed the ice as thekey problem. Open watergave the bird a sanctuary. Itcould swim away fromshore to escape land-basedpredators. But with the hardfreeze, a predator couldchase the goose across theice.
On early Christmasmorning, with the tempera-ture hovering near 20degrees Fahrenheit, I wentto the pond. I did not seethe goose. Did it finallywalk to the river or head inthe opposite direction to theopen water along the nearbymillrace?
I have no idea. The ducksremained along the river.
I doubt the goose flewaway. It gave no indicationthat it could fly. I did notsee a scattering of feathersto indicate a coyote or dogmight have chased it downand killed it. The pond andits shoreline left no clues.
I am left to wonder aboutits fate, a mystery never tobe solved, another ofnature’s eternal mysteries.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) —A massive explosion rippedthrough a warehouse full offireworks in Nigeria’s largestcity on Wednesday, sparkinga fire that threatenedsurrounding city blocks andsending a plume of thicksmoke high into the sky. Atleast one person died and 15others were wounded,emergency officials said.
The blast occurredaround 9 a.m. in the Jankaraarea of Lagos Island, aneighborhood of narrowstreets and tall cementbuildings holding shops andhousing people sometimes adozen to a room in themegacity of Lagos. Theforce of the explosionechoed miles away andshook windows.
An Associated Pressjournalist saw members ofthe Nigerian Red Crosstreating people with minorcuts and bruises a fewblocks from the site. Later,rescuers pulled out a badlycharred corpse from the still-smoldering structure.
Many people wereinjured when theystampeded through thearea’s narrow alleyways,said Yushau Shuaib, aspokesman for Nigeria’sNational EmergencyManagement Agency.
“The explosion was notsuspected to be a deliberateattack to cause confusion assecurity agencies havecommenced their investiga-tions,” Shuaib said in astatement later Wednesday.
Casualties, however,could rise as rescuerscontinue to clear debris fromthe fire. Smoke still roseover the neighborhood as thesun started to set Wednesdayover Lagos.
Rubble-strewn streetssurrounding the burningbuildings were covered inthe spent shells of fireworks.Several police officers andsecurity officials foundlarge, mortar-like fireworksin the building, the kindwired to explode as part of alarge arrangement put on byprofessionals.
Nigerians commonlyshoot off fireworks andfirecrackers to markChristmas and the New Year,with hawkers roaming intraffic with fistfuls of thesmall explosives to sell topassing drivers.
Local governmentofficials have tried to banfireworks this year, in partdue to safety and in part dueto the fear they can cause ina nation where a radicalIslamist sect is carrying outshootings and car bombings.Nevertheless fireworks haveexploded across the countryin recent days to mark theholiday season.

and flew home to Damascuson a private jet, officials atBeirut’s Rafik Hariri Interna-tional Airport said.
A top Lebanese securityofficial told The AssociatedPress that al-Shaar wasrushed out of Lebanon afterauthorities there receivedinformation that interna-tional arrest warrants couldbe issued against himbecause of his role in thedeadly crackdown againstprotesters in Syria.
Over the past week, someLebanese officials andindividuals had also calledfor al-Shaar’s arrest for hisrole in a bloody 1986 assaultin the Lebanese city ofTripoli.
In the 1980s, al-Shaarwas a top intelligenceofficial in northern Lebanonwhen Syrian troops stormedTripoli and crushed a SunniMuslim group that supportedPalestine Liberation Organi-
zation chief Yasser Arafat.Hundreds of people werekilled in the battles, andsince then, many in northernLebanon have referred to al-Shaar as “the butcher ofTripoli.”
It was a testament to justhow internationally isolatedAssad’s regime has becomethat even in Lebanon, acountry Syria controlled fordecades, Syrian governmentofficials cannot feel at ease.
“Lebanese officialscontacted Syrian authorities,and that sped up hisdeparture,” said the securityofficial, adding that aLebanese medical team isexpected to go to Damascusto continue al-Shaar’streatment there. “If sucharrest warrants are issued,Lebanese judicial authoritieswill have to arrest him, andthis could be an embarrass-ment for the country.”
The airport and securityofficials spoke on condition
of anonymity because theywere not authorized to speakto the media.
Lebanon and Syria have along and bitter history.
Syrian forces moved intoLebanon in 1976 aspeacekeepers after thecountry was swept into acivil war between Christianand Muslim militias. Fornearly 30 years thatfollowed, Lebanon livedunder Syrian military andpolitical domination.Damascus was eventuallyforced to withdraw its troopsbut has maintained consider-able influence in Lebanon.
The defection of Syria’smilitary police chiefrepresented another setbackfor the Assad governmentand came as militarypressure builds on theregime, with governmentbases falling to rebel assaultnear Damascus andelsewhere across thecountry.

MOSCOW (AP) —Defying a storm of domesticand international criticism,Russia moved towardfinalizing a ban on Americansadopting Russian children, asParliament’s upper housevoted unanimouslyWednesday in favor of ameasure that PresidentVladimir Putin has indicatedhe will sign into law.
The bill is widely seen asthe Kremlin’s retaliationagainst an American law thatcalls for sanctions againstRussians deemed to be humanrights violators. It comes as
Putin takes an increasinglyconfrontational attitude towardthe West, brushing asideconcerns about a crackdownon dissent and democraticfreedoms.
Dozens of Russian childrenclose to being adopted byAmerican families now willalmost certainly be blockedfrom leaving the country. Thelaw also cuts off the maininternational adoption routefor Russian children stuck inoften dismal orphanages: Tensof thousands of Russianyoungsters have been adoptedin the U.S. in the past 20
years. There are about740,000 children withoutparental care in Russia,according to UNICEF.
All 143 members of theFederation Council presentvoted to support the bill,which has sparked criticismfrom both the U.S. andRussian officials, activists andartists, who say it victimizeschildren by depriving them ofthe chance to escape thesqualor of orphanage life. Thevote comes days after Parlia-ment’s lower houseoverwhelmingly approved theban.

Colts head coach Chuck Pagano watches histeam go through drills during practice
Wednesday in Indianapolis. He was on thepractice field for the first time since Sept. 26.
AP
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —Chuck Pagano beat the traffic anda blizzard into work Wednesdaymorning — all in an effort to beatthe Texans.
After spending the last threemonths fighting leukemia, theinspirational Colts coach arrivedearly at the team complex. He metbriefly with his players to givethem a succinct message aboutthis week’s game plan, thenstepped onto the practice field forthe first time since Sept. 26.
It seemed nothing had changed.“From Day 1, we set goals for
ourselves, and after watching whatthis team has done over the courseof the season, the last 12 weeks,it’s just not in our DNA,” Paganosaid when asked about resting hisstarters Sunday against Houston.
“Our families deserve it, our fansdeserve to see our best gameregardless of the circumstances.They’re going to roll the ball outthere and our job is to win aballgame and that’s what we’regoing to do.”
While Pagano wanted to take abusiness-as-usual approach intohis first regular workday, itcertainly wasn’t easy amid all theoutside stuff.
Up to a foot of wind-whippedsnow had fallen in parts ofIndianapolis, creating hazardousdriving conditions. Pagano said hearrived at the team complex soearly, he had no trouble driving.And though he considered movingup the scheduled afternoonpractice so players could returnhome, Pagano decided against it
because forecasters were hopefulthe road conditions would improveas the snow tapered off late in theafternoon.
The snowiest day of the yearwas no deterrent for Pagano, whoreturned to the team complexMonday, met briefly with playerswho gave him a standing ovation,and spent about 30 minutesanswering questions fromreporters. On Wednesday, hestrolled onto the team’s indoorpractice field for the first time inthree months, presided over thefull-scale practice in the afternoonand savored every preciousmoment.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) —Jay Cutler understands theChicago Bears need help to get tothe playoffs, and they could usemore than just an assist fromarchrival Green Bay.
How about getting that offenseto pitch in?
It hasn’t in recent weeks, andthat’s one reason the Bears (9-6)are in danger of missing theplayoffs for the fifth time in sixyears. The struggles on offensehave played a big role in theirfree-fall after a 7-1 start, and evenif they win at Detroit in the seasonfinale on Sunday, there’s noguarantee they’ll make it.
They’ll still need Green Bay tobeat or tie Minnesota. They couldalso get in with a tie if the Vikingslose.
“This is a big game,” Cutlersaid. “I think last week was a biggame. We’ve got to win. There’snothing else to be said about it.And quarterback play, these aregames you’ve got to have.”
After dropping five of theirprevious six, the Bears are comingoff a 28-13 win over Arizonathanks to two defensivetouchdowns. Starting running backMatt Forte’s status for this week isin question after he injured hisright ankle for the third time thisseason.
He came through with one ofhis better performances, runningfor 88 yards and a touchdown on12 carries before leaving thegame.
He did not practice Wednesday.“His ankle is looking pretty

NEW YORK (AP) — Peyton Manning andAdrian Peterson want to cap their sensationalcomebacks with Super Bowl appearances. Fornow, they can be proud of Pro Bowl spots.
So can Redskins quarterback Robert GriffinIII, one of two rookies chosen Wednesday forthe Jan. 27 NFL all-star game.
Manning missed all of the 2011 season withneck and back problems that required severaloperations. He then signed with Denver as afree agent and has led the Broncos on a 10-game winning streak to take the AFC West.
“I know there’s great players out there in theNFL, but there’s some great players on thisteam this year that deserve to go,” saidManning, whose 12th Pro Bowl is a record forquarterbacks. He ranks fourth in league passingthis year, has thrown 34 touchdowns and 11interceptions.
Four other Broncos made the AFC roster:DE Elvis Dumervil, linebacker Von Miller, CBChamp Bailey and tackle Ryan Clady. Bailey’s12th appearance is a record for defensivebacks.
“My goal has always been to go out andhelp the team win and play at a high level,”Manning added. “Anything that comes alongwith that, like being honored as a Pro Bowlselection, is very humbling.”
Two Colts, receiver Reggie Wayne andoutside linebacker Robert Mathis, were namedto the AFC squad. The Bears will berepresented by cornerback Charles Tillman,defensive lineman Henry Melton and receiverBrandon Marshall on the NFC team.
Minnesota’s Peterson tore up his left kneeon Christmas Eve last year, underwent majorsurgery, then was back for the season opener.
He’s gone from uncertain to unstoppable,running away with the rushing title with acareer-high 1,898 yards and lifting the Vikingstoward an NFC wild card.
“Coming into the season after going throughthe rehab process, I just told myself that I
wanted to lead my team to a championship andmake sure that I contribute and do my part,”Peterson said. “I’ve been doing it.”

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)— Tim Tebow thinks he mighthave been misunderstood.
The New York Jets backupquarterback insisted Wednesdaythat he never asked out of runningwildcat plays last week, butacknowledged what he said tocoach Rex Ryan may have beenmisinterpreted as such.
“I never said, ‘Hey, I don’t doanything or I won’t do anything,’”Tebow said. “That wasn’t the talkat all. He knows that and
everybody on this team knowsthat. I’d never not do something ifI was asked, and I think that’swhat’s disappointing about thewhole situation, people saying,‘You quit,’ or, ‘You didn’t do this.’It was not it at all.
“It was just me asking to get anopportunity to play the position Ilove, which is quarterback. Itwasn’t me asking out of anything.”
Ryan chose to go with third-stringer Greg McElroy over Tebowin place of the benched Mark
Sanchez for Sunday’s game againstthe San Diego Chargers. Afterhearing the news, Tebow went toRyan to discuss the situation.
“I was definitely disappointedand frustrated,” Tebow said.
ESPN New York first reportedSunday that Tebow had asked outof the wildcat, and a person withknowledge of the situationconfirmed that to The AssociatedPress. But Tebow thinks it was asituation in which he wishes hewas “more clear” when he initially
spoke with Ryan.Tebow realized that Ryan might
have misinterpreted his commentswhen he wasn’t in wildcatpackages during practiceWednesday and Thursday, andreiterated to the coach last Fridayhe would do anything the teamasked of him.
“I just asked for an opportunityto play quarterback and hedefinitely understood that,” Tebowsaid, “and then Friday, I went up tohim again and reiterated that.”

“You can’t play downthose kind of things,” Griffinsaid. “I’ve always said mywhole football career thatyou don’t play for awards.They just come.”
San Francisco had themost players selected, nine,including six from itssecond-ranked defense.Houston was next witheight, six on offense.
Kansas City, despite its 2-13 record that is tied withJacksonville for worst in theleague, had five Pro
Bowlers, including RBJamaal Charles, who likePeterson is coming backfrom a torn ACL.
One other rookie,Minnesota kicker BlairWalsh, was chosen. Walshhas nine field goals of atleast 50 yards, an NFL mark.
The AFC kicker is at theother end of the spectrum:Cleveland’s Phil Dawsonearned his first selection inhis 14th NFL season.
Another record setter willbe heading to Honolulu:Detroit WR Calvin Johnson.

That’s good news for anoffense that hasn’t deliveredmuch in recent weeks.
If Forte isn’t ready, theBears would turn to KahlilBell and Armando Allenwith backup Michael Bushon injured reserve.
Injuries on both sideshave mounted with thelosses, but the defense atleast has been doing itspart. The Bears got back totheir ball-hawking waysagainst an anemic offenselast week, with CharlesTillman returning aninterception for a score andZack Bowman returning a
fumble recovery one yardfor another touchdown.
But the offense again hadtrouble finding the end zone.
The Bears have just threetouchdowns rushing andeight passing over the pastseven games and had onlyone of each against theCardinals.
Cutler completed 1 of hisfirst 11 passes and finishedwith 146 yards afterthrowing for just 135 theprevious week in a loss toGreen Bay that left theBears looking for help toget to the playoffs ratherthan controlling their owndestiny.
The offense did click inthe two-minute drill justbefore halftime againstArizona, with BrandonMarshall hauling in an 11-yard touchdown pass.

this for the last 28 years ofmy life and then all of asudden to be taken awayfrom it, and then to beblessed to get back beforethe end of the season — it’sa great feeling,” he said. “It’sjust good to be back aroundthe players and practice andcoaching again.”
Playing to win whatwould normally be ameaningless game is a starkcontrast from previous Coltsplayoff years. Starters wereroutinely held out of late-season games that had nobearing on playoff position.
The most glaring examplecame in 2009 when the Coltswere 14-0, yet yanked theirstarters in the third quarterof a home game against theNew York Jets. Indy lost thegame, played some starters
one series the next week insnowy Buffalo, and lost afew weeks later to NewOrleans in the Super Bowl.
But after making thisyear’s historic turnaroundfrom 2-14 to 10-5, andenduring the emotionalroller-coaster of losing ahead coach for 12 weeks andnow getting him back, theColts want to play. They arelocked into the AFC’s No. 5seed and will open theplayoffs on the road againstthe AFC’s No. 4 seed.
“I think there issomething to be said aboutkeeping your momentumgoing and I think it could bea positive thing,” outsidelinebacker Dwight Freeneysaid. “I think guys who arebanged up, they shouldn’tplay. But I think that guyswho can play, should play.”

NOTEBOOK
Daytona dream almost reality Martinsville Speedway promoter Clay
Campbell has been going to DaytonaInternational Speedway since he was a toddler,always dreaming that one day he’d be able torace on the hallowed high banks.
“I know my way around Daytona better thanI do some of the communities surroundingMartinsville,” he said. “Growing up in the busi-ness you look forward to getting to race, and asmany times as I’ve been to Daytona, I’ve beeninside and outside the track, just wishing Icould get on the track.”
Now at age 52, his dream is on the verge ofcoming true. Campbell, a veteran of the shorttracks around his native Virginia, is set to drivethe No. 08 Ford in the ARCA season opener atDaytona next February.
“I go back to the Bill [France] Sr. and AnnieB. [France] days, and knew a lot of the peoplefrom the ’60s to now,” he said. “I’ve seen thetransformation of the sport and of DaytonaInternational Speedway, so it’s pretty neat tofinally get to do this aspect of it.”
Campbell raced this season in an ARCA raceat Talladega Superspeedway, Daytona’s sistertrack, but was caught in an early multi-carcrash and didn’t get the finish he’d hoped for.
Now, after a successful test at Daytona lastweek, he’s feeling good about his chances atDaytona.
“The test went good,” he said. “Each time wewent out we picked up a little bit and wound upsixth fastest overall for the weekend.”
In his 25 years or so of Late Model racing,Campbell has raced and won at tracks acrossthe Southeast, but he’s competed only once atMartinsville, the track built by his late grandfa-ther Clay Earles. His career highlight so farwas winning the Limited Late Model trackchampionship at Caraway Speedway in 2000.
But he said another big highlight, fromDaytona, is not out of the question.
“I think we have as good a shot at winning asanybody,” he said. “You see guys win there thatdon’t win anywhere else. If you have a little bitof luck on your side and stay out of trouble andwork the draft ... a win is not out of the ques-tion.”
Eury begins tenure with Swan Spending a few weeks resting and deer hunt-
ing, veteran crew chief Tony Eury Jr. is back atwork in NASCAR. Eury, released late in theseason from JR Motorsports, where he is a co-owner, is now the crew chief for the No. 30Toyota driven in Sprint Cup by David Stremme.At his new Swan Racing team, owned byBrandon Davis, Eury will be reunited withSteve Hmiel, a former co-worker from his daysat Dale Earnhardt Inc.
“I am really impressed with the team SwanRacing is building and I am proud to be part ofit,” Eury said in a team release. “I am lookingforward to working with David Stremmebehind the wheel and with competition directorSteve Hmiel.”
Hmiel also had praise for Eury.“Tony Jr. has pretty much done it all from
tire changer to crew chief,” he said. “His experi-ence and knowledge will be pivotal to the suc-cess of Swan Racing.”

“You try to consider the individual effort,”he said, adding that choosing a winner thisyear was hard. “There’s a lot of talent outthere, this year especially, as far as how com-petitive each series was.”
He pointed out that the championships ofmost major racing series weren’t decideduntil the final race.
“Because of that, for us, it’s not easy,” hesaid. “I’d gladly hand the [voting] duties tosomebody else.”
Andretti said Keselowski is certainly astrong candidate.
“I love his attitude,” Andretti said. “Hewants to win. He’s not satisfied with any-
thing less, and I like that. One thing I detestis guys that say ‘I’m good if I finish top five,top 10.’
“Winning is the ultimate. Naturally youcan’t win every time, but you have to havethat attitude, and he does and I like that.
“And he’s shown to be a darn good littlerace driver.”
Andretti also was impressed with howKeselowski overcame the pressure from themedia, and Jimmie Johnson, on and off thetrack, down the stretch of the Chase.
“He got it done against some odds,”Andretti said. “To me that’s the mark of achampion. When you’re under pressure and
you can think straight and control your emo-tions, that’s what champions are made of.People that crumble under pressure willnever accomplish that. Not everybody can dothat, believe me. But he demonstrated thathe’s well worthy of that championship.”
Andretti also liked what he saw in KyleLarson, the 19-year-old open-wheel racerwho nearly won twice in just four starts inthe Camping World Truck Series and tookthe championship of NASCAR’s K&N ProSeries East division in his first year of racingfendered vehicles.
“The kid has a heck of a record this year,just phenomenal,” Andretti said. “He’s onethat we’re going to hear a lot of as we go on.Rare talents don’t come too often, and heseems to be one that has a little somethingextra special.”
Andretti, who won his share of races insprint cars, also appreciates the accomplish-ments of Sammy Swindell, who at age 57won a series-best 13 features including theprestigious King’s Royal at Tony Stewart’sEldora Speedway. He finished third in Worldof Outlaw points and led the circuit in heatraces wins and fast qualifying times.
“That turkey doesn’t know when to quit,”Andretti said. “He’s amazing. I love that guy… Here’s a guy who has been winning hisentire career and keeps on winning now thathe’s a grandfather.”
Andretti will present the trophy, a 100-pound sculpture created by bronze artist ElieHazak, during a SPEED broadcast on Jan.27. Previous winners include Tony Stewartand Jimmie Johnson from NASCAR,Sebastian Vettel from Formula One, andTony Schumacher from the NHRA.

NOTEBOOK
Daytona dream almost reality Martinsville Speedway promoter Clay
Campbell has been going to DaytonaInternational Speedway since he was a toddler,always dreaming that one day he’d be able torace on the hallowed high banks.
“I know my way around Daytona better thanI do some of the communities surroundingMartinsville,” he said. “Growing up in the busi-ness you look forward to getting to race, and asmany times as I’ve been to Daytona, I’ve beeninside and outside the track, just wishing Icould get on the track.”
Now at age 52, his dream is on the verge ofcoming true. Campbell, a veteran of the shorttracks around his native Virginia, is set to drivethe No. 08 Ford in the ARCA season opener atDaytona next February.
“I go back to the Bill [France] Sr. and AnnieB. [France] days, and knew a lot of the peoplefrom the ’60s to now,” he said. “I’ve seen thetransformation of the sport and of DaytonaInternational Speedway, so it’s pretty neat tofinally get to do this aspect of it.”
Campbell raced this season in an ARCA raceat Talladega Superspeedway, Daytona’s sistertrack, but was caught in an early multi-carcrash and didn’t get the finish he’d hoped for.
Now, after a successful test at Daytona lastweek, he’s feeling good about his chances atDaytona.
“The test went good,” he said. “Each time wewent out we picked up a little bit and wound upsixth fastest overall for the weekend.”
In his 25 years or so of Late Model racing,Campbell has raced and won at tracks acrossthe Southeast, but he’s competed only once atMartinsville, the track built by his late grandfa-ther Clay Earles. His career highlight so farwas winning the Limited Late Model trackchampionship at Caraway Speedway in 2000.
But he said another big highlight, fromDaytona, is not out of the question.
“I think we have as good a shot at winning asanybody,” he said. “You see guys win there thatdon’t win anywhere else. If you have a little bitof luck on your side and stay out of trouble andwork the draft ... a win is not out of the ques-tion.”

SPORTS BRIEFS•
Red Sox require relief aceHanrahan in six-player deal
BOSTON (AP) — If Joel Hanrahan cando for the Boston Red Sox what he didagainst them, they should be very happywith their new closer.
In the first of his two All-Star seasons,the right-hander posted back-to-back savesfor the Pittsburgh Pirates with perfect ninthinnings against the Red Sox in June 2011.He struck out Adrian Gonzalez, whoentered the series batting .359, to end thesecond game.
“When people look back on me as aPirate, that’s the one that stands out themost to them,” Hanrahan said Wednesdayafter being obtained in a six-player trade.
People such as Red Sox assistantgeneral manager Brian O’Halloran.
“It definitely made an impression onme,” he said. “It was not fun to be in thebatter’s box against Joel Hanrahan.”
Now American League hitters will seewhat it’s like.
Boston completed the deal Wednesday,also receiving infielder Brock Holt. TheRed Sox gave up right-handers MarkMelancon and Stolmy Pimentel, infielderIvan DeJesus Jr. and first baseman-outfielder Jerry Sands.
The Red Sox also announced thesigning of free agent shortstop StephenDrew, who agreed to a one-year contractearly last week. That reported $9.5 milliondeal was contingent on the former OaklandAthletic and Arizona Diamondback, whobroke his ankle in 2011, passing aphysical.
Pierzynski signs with RangersARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A.J.
Pierzynski can joke with Texas managerRon Washington about last season’s All-Star snub now that he’s the startingcatcher for the Rangers.
They shared a laugh over lunch a fewdays before Wednesday’s announcementthat Pierzynski’s one-year free agentcontract with Texas was complete. Bothconsidered the All-Star issue dead after ithappened in July, even though Pierzynskihad a cryptic retort when Washingtonexplained the difficulty of the decision.
“Everybody keeps trying to make a bigdeal out of it, but I’ve known Wash for areally long time,” Pierzynski said. “It’snot going to change the way I feel aboutRon Washington because I know whathe’s done in this game and I know wherehe stands and what he’s all about. It’sover and done with for me.”
Washington said Pierzynski will be theprimary catcher, pushing Geovany Soto tothe backup role after he re-signed as afree agent. Pierzynski hit .278 with acareer-high 27 home runs in 135 gamesfor the Chicago White Sox, while Sototook a pay cut after hitting .196 in 47games following a trade with the ChicagoCubs.
Ibanez back where he startedSEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle
Mariners officially announced their $2.75million, one-year deal with outfielder RaulIbanez on Wednesday, returning theveteran to where he began his major leaguecareer in 1996.
Seattle confirmed an agreement withIbanez over the weekend but needed toclear a roster spot before making thetransaction official. That took place whenthe Mariners designated for assignmentright-handed pitcher D.J. Mitchell,opening a spot on the 40-man roster.Mitchell was acquired from the New YorkYankees in the trade last July for IchiroSuzuki.
The deal allows Ibanez to earn anadditional $1.25 million in performancebonuses. This will be his third stint withthe Mariners, after rejoining them from2004-08.
“Raul is the ultimate professional bothon and off the field,” Seattle manager EricWedge said in a statement. “His veteranpresence will be invaluable to our youngergroup of players.”
Ravens activate Lewis, buthe’s unlikely to play Sunday
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) —Linebacker Ray Lewis has been added tothe Baltimore Ravens’ 53-man roster, butcoach John Harbaugh says the 17-yearveteran will not play Sunday against theCincinnati Bengals.
The 37-year-old was placed on theinjured reserve-designated to return listafter tearing his right triceps on Oct. 14.He returned to practice on Dec. 5, and inorder for him to be eligible for theplayoffs, the Ravens had to add him to theactive roster by Wednesday.
Closer Joel Hanrahan was traded to theRed Sox by the Pirates Wednesday.

he American people have beenshifting in their views of same-sexmarriage for some time now, and theevolution of public opinion is clearly
moving toward more tolerance, evenacceptance. The trend is heartening.Denying same-sex couples the legalopportunity to wed is not something withwhich our government should be involved.
Involved, however, it is. Currently, thereis a federal Defense of Marriage of Act,
although theObamaadministra-tion hasmade it clearit views thelaw asunconstitu-tional.
What’smore,Indiana hasits own banon same-sexmarriage, andthere is aneffort to getthe prohibi-tion placedinto thestate’s consti-tution. Anattempt to
amend Indiana’s constitution has alreadypassed the required first of two consecutivesessions of the Legislature. If it passesagain either in the 2013 or 2014 sessions, itwill then go to voters in the fall of 2014 forapproval or rejection.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Courtannounced recently that it will hear mattersrelated to same-sex marriage, with a rulingcoming as soon as this summer. Dependingon the court’s decision — which will beclose, probably 5-4, either way — thefuture of government involvement in same-sex marriage could be set.
Because of the uncertainty that hangsover the Supreme Court cases, the IndianaGeneral Assembly’s best approach in 2013is to leave it alone. There is simply noreason to risk the political acrimony, or towaste time and resources, fighting over anissue that could be rendered moot by thehigh court in a few months.
Setting this issue aside will take littlemore than a small dose of common sense.Fortunately, there are those in the legisla-ture’s super majority of Republicansstepping up to provide the type of leader-ship needed to deal appropriately with thematter.
State Sen. Luke Kenley, a proponent ofputting the same-sex marriage ban in thestate constitution the last time it came upin 2011, will oppose it if it comes up thistime. He still describes himself as asupporter of traditional marriage, but henow doesn’t believe placing such a ban inthe constitution is a good idea. Thepowerful chair of the Senate’s appropria-tions committee acknowledges publicopinion is “rapidly evolving” in favor ofsame-sex marriage.
“I really value the institution of hetero-sexual marriage,” Kenley said recently.“But I do not think that putting a statementin the constitution which runs down or isbigoted toward people who have adifferent kind of loving relationship, that Imay not understand, is going to be produc-tive.”
Kenley may still not be part of themajority, but his shift is important. He isclearly a leader of stature and influence.That he would show the type of politicalcourage necessary to bring about majorchanges of attitude on such an emotionaltopic will certainly give others pause andperhaps bring them to reconsider their ownlong-held positions.
No one expects Indiana’s electedofficials, or even Hoosiers in general, to beleaders in the movement to legalize same-sex marriage. But it is not too much toexpect that the state take a more measuredapproach on the matter and not dosomething that will end up having to beundone eventually, later if not sooner.
If the proposed constitutional ban isproposed in this next legislative session,we urge the Wabash Valley’s delegation toadopt the common-sense approach. Voteno on the constitutional ban and allow theissue to continue its evolution.

ew Year’s resolutions?Argh! I’ve never beenone to make New Year’s
resolutions.I think it’s been a media-
driven thing for many years.Newspaper columnists go
for this old standby topic thistime of the year because it’s soeasy to comment on and writeabout. Even TV is in thismode. Entertainment networkshound celebrities for their NewYear’s resolutions. Politiciansmay chime in on newscommentary shows when thehost asks them “What’s yourNew Year’s resolution?”
No one that I can recall isever held accountable. NewYear’s resolutions proclaimedby the acclaimed rarely if evercome back to haunt the peoplemaking them. The only peoplewho may regret not keeping aNew Year’s resolution arethose making them, and theyprobably forget unless theywrite it down or file itelectronically somewhere. It’sa given if you warn someoneyou will hold them account-able who insists on telling youtheir New Year’s resolution,they’ll laugh and say youwon’t remember. And they’llbe right.
I could make a New Year’sresolution to lose weight, diet,exercise or save more andspend less like most everyone
else whomakes NewYear’s resolu-tions but Iknow at myage that won’thappen so whydo it. Someoneonce said aNew Year’sresolution issomething thatgoes in oneYear and outthe other.
Let’s getreal here. Ifyou make aNew Year’s
resolution and vow to keep it,you’ll need motivation like adoctor’s prognosis, the threat ofdivorce from your significantother, the Internal RevenueService knocking on your dooror a humiliating comment aboutyour sagging physique.
I’ve been a regular for yeararound workouts at the localYMCA for the past 17 years.There is always an increase inthe number of unfamiliar facesand bodies trying out the
treadmills, jogging track,training bikes and weightmachines the week or two afterNew Year’s Day. Theydefinitely have fitness andweight loss on their minds, andit’s inspiring to see them startout with so much energy andenthusiasm.
Along about mid-Marchwhen the weather warms up,most of them have dropped out,and I’d like to think they’vemoved outside for theirexercise. Chances are thoughthey’ve given up, not havinglost the 10 to 20 pounds in sixto eight weeks or gained thebody tone for the new springbreak bikini swimsuit. It takesmore effort than three hours aweek at the Y for six to eightweeks to lose weight and getfit. It takes diet AND exercise.Your family doctor will tell youthat.
Comedian Jay Leno oncesaid, “Now there are moreoverweight people in Americathan average-weight people. Sooverweight people are nowaverage, which means you’vealready met your New Year’sresolution.”
Here are few realistic goalsfor you to shoot for in 2013that don’t involve losing
weight or getting fit:• Be more productive at
work or in school. Don’tprocrastinate.
• Organize your life. Anorganized individual is areliable person. You want tochange because you want yourlife to progress.
• Boost your confidence.Believe in yourself. Improveyour self esteem. Gain moreknowledge. Have faith in yourabilities.
• Be more friendly andapproachable. Interact withmore people. Let people inyour life.
• Learn how to cook. Havea healthy meal by avoidingtake-outs and fast-foods.
• Drink moderately.Hangovers lead to a lot ofmental and physical problems.
• Share knowledge withothers. Life is a never-endingprocess of making mistakes.Every day is a chance to learnsomething new to pass on toothers. Leave a meaningfullegacy to the world.
Notice I said goals, not NewYear’s resolutions.

New Years’ resolutions — Bah! Humbug!
ere’s the problem.When she comesto eat at our
house, we serve meat andvegetables — plenty of vegeta-bles. She can eat all the vegeta-bles she wants, and she neverhas to touch the meat. Which isfine — there’s more meat forthe rest of us. But when we goto her house, she serves onlyvegetables.”
My friend Jackson has justreturned from his vegetariansister-in-law’s house, where shehosted the holiday meal as shedoes in alternating years.“There’s never any meat at herplace,” he says. “It’s not fair.”
“Is she a good cook?” Iasked.
“Yes, but you’re missing thepoint. Why is it that we bendover backward to accommodateher by serving mashed potatoesand creamed corn and cranberrysauce, but she never makes thetiniest bit of meat for us? It’snot like we serve just meat atour house. You can be avegetarian and still find plentyto eat. We have potato chips andcorn chips and guacamole andfried mozzarella sticks anddoughnuts and sticky buns …”
“Wow, you are really bendingover backward,” I interjected.“It’s not as if you had all that
stuff lying around your houseanyway.”
“Once again, you’re missingthe point. I’m not saying she has
to go out andslaughter a cowjust so I canhave a piece ofmeat, but comeon! Would itkill her to put alittle chicken onthe table for theholidays? I’mnot even askingher to cook aturkey or a ham— just achicken. Noteven a big one.
A chicken is practically avegetable anyway. It’s like avegetable with legs.”
“Yes, it’s hard to believe thatsomeone who wouldn’t hurt afly won’t cook you a chicken.So I guess you had to fill up onchips and dip.”
“If only. She doesn’t haveanything like that. It’s all piecesof cauliflower and broccoli withhummus and olives and littlebits of gooey cheese that afriend of hers makes. There’s noreal food anywhere.”
“It’s a wonder you survived.It’s a surprise you didn’t turninto a cannibal after going a
whole day without meat.”“If I hadn’t had bacon and
sausage for breakfast, I mayhave. My life did flash in frontof my eyes, but it wasn’t fromthe lack of meat. It was whenSarah started asking for therecipes for stuff. ‘Oh, that wasdelicious. You’d never know thatwas a gluten-free cake. Can Ihave the recipe?’ Yesterday shemade me lentil soup for lunch.What is that? Her sister is a badinfluence on her.”
Jackson’s wife, Sarah,regularly prepares things Jackdistrusts under the guise ofkeeping him healthy. “What’sthis?” is a question I’ve heard attheir dinner table dozens oftimes.
“It’s a fish taco,” Sarah mightreply.
“A fish taco? Did the grocerystore run out of hamburger?”
“All the magazines say weshould eat less meat and morefish. Fish once a week isn’tgoing to kill you. You couldstand to lose some weight.”
“Yeah, I see those people inthe magazines you read. All skinand bones like your sister. Thatcan’t be healthy.”
“Can you imagine whatwould happen if I told Sarah shecould stand to lose someweight?” Jack asks me.
“It would upset the balanceof world peace; it would causeuntold misery; life as we knowit would come to an end,” I said.
“You complain about thisevery other year,” I continued.“Couldn’t you smuggle meatinto your sister-in-law’s houseand hide it where you can get toit easily? Say, under a sofacushion? A little bit of beefjerky here, a can of Viennasausages there?”
“Go ahead, make fun of me,”Jack said. “But when someoneinvites you to their house fordinner, it would be nice if theyserved an actual dinner.”
“That’s the holiday spirit.The good news is we all knowwhat to get you for Christmasnext year,” I said. “The SpamGift Collection.”

reason to risk the

resources, fighting over
an issue that could be
rendered moot by the
high court in a few

H“ “A chicken is practically a
vegetable anyway. It’s like a
vegetable with legs.”
•
On this date:• In 932, New York City’s
Radio City Music Hallopened to the public inmidtown Manhattan.
• In 1947, the originalversion of the puppetcharacter Howdy Doodymade its TV debut on NBC’s“Puppet Playhouse.”In 1985, Palestinianguerrillas opened fire insidethe Rome and Viennaairports; 19 victims werekilled, plus four attackerswho were slain by police andsecurity personnel.
DEAR DOCTOR K: Myfather had a stroke and hasbecome depressed during hislong recovery. Will antide-pressants help? I’m askingbecause of the damage thestroke has done to his brain.
DEAR READER: Iremember a patient like yourfather. Before his stroke, hewas outgoing, active in hischurch and community, andalways cracking jokes. Thenhe was hit with a stroke thatparalyzed his left arm and leg.
Fortunately, his speech andthinking were not affected,but his personality changedcompletely. He sat in bedsaying very little to anyonewho came in the room,including his family, friendsand doctor. When physicaltherapists tried to get him todo exercises to build back thestrength on his left side, hewas mostly uncooperative. Iwas worried that the strokehad caused dementia, but itbecame clear he was as smart
as ever.He was depressed. About
one in four people who’vehad a stroke develop majordepression. You’re right that
the injury tothe brainfrom thestroke canitself causechanges inbrainchemistrythat lead todepression.However,depressionalso can be areaction tothe impair-ments causedby the stroke.In otherwords,depression
following a stroke can be likedepression following anothermajor illness that affects aperson’s life but does notinjure the brain — such as a
heart attack or cancer.You might think that in
someone who has difficultytalking or understandingspeech, or difficulty movinghis arms and legs, depressionis the least of his problems.But the mental anguish ofdepression isn’t a minorconcern. Left untreated,depression can undermineefforts at rehabilitation andworsen cognitive disabilities.
That’s what happened atfirst to my patient, until hisdepression was successfullytreated. Depression after astroke is associated withpoorer outcomes a year afterthe stroke has occurred. It’salso associated with a higherdeath rate in subsequentyears.
Fortunately, antidepres-sants seem to be fairlyeffective. In 2008, scientistspublished a review of theresearch in this area. Theyconcluded that the medica-tions had a “small but signifi-
cant” effect on post-strokedepression.
What’s more, the benefitsof antidepressants may not belimited to relieving depres-sion; they may positivelyaffect areas and networks inthe brain that improve otherimpaired functions as well.
Studies published in thelast couple of years havefound that certain antidepres-sants (in combination withphysical therapy) can helpwith recovery from stroke-induced paralysis, muscleweakness and overalldisability.
If you haven’t alreadydone so, talk to your father’sdoctor about his depression.Ask the doctor to recommenda psychiatrist who has experi-ence working with strokepatients.

DEAR ABBY: How can Iset healthy boundaries withmy best friend withoutfeeling guilty? I have alwaysbeen supportive andavailable because Isympathized with herdifficult family dynamicsduring childhood andadulthood. She often talks tome about her problems withfamily and ever-changingrelationships with men, butrarely allows me or others toshare their points of view orpersonal concerns. Saying‘‘no’’ to her is challengingunder any circumstance, andshe demands that all focusbe on her in social situations.
I love and accept myfriend as she is, and I try togive her all the grace I have.I now realize that settinghealthy boundaries is theonly way I can sustain ourfriendship. I know thisdynamic may put a strain onour relationship, so why do Ifeel so guilty? — TESTEDIN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIADEAR TESTED: That’s
a good question, and onethat I can’tdefinitivelyanswer foryou. It’spossible thatlike manywomen, youwere raisedto believethat if youassertyourself youwon’t beconsidered‘‘nice.’’That’s amistakebecause aslong as you
allow this friend to takeadvantage of you — and thatis what she’s doing — themore your resentment willbuild until the relationshipbecomes one of diminishingreturns. So tell this self-centered person as nicely aspossible that you are not a
therapist, and because herproblems persist, she shouldtalk to one.
DEAR ABBY: Do youever get tired of givingadvice to people who askcommonsense questions, orthose who probably knowthe answer to their problemsif they just thought it out? —JIM IN WEST VIRGINIA
DEAR JIM: The answerto your question is no. I lovewhat I do and consider it anhonor to be trusted. Whilethe reply to a question maybe obvious to you, it isn't tothe person who asks me.Common sense tends to goout the window when thereare strong emotionsinvolved.
