DCOP classes coming to Butler BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The DeKalb County Council on Pregnancy serves as an important function — providing education and counseling to expectant mothers and families with young children. Beginning Thursday, the council will bring its services to Butler, in partnership with the Butler Church of the Nazarene, 500 N. Beech St., and returning to the church each Thursday from 2-6 p.m. The council serves pregnant women and families with children less than 3 years old, director Marcia Provines explained.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Classes are 2-6 p.m. each Thursday The DCOP, a pro-life organization, has been in DeKalb County since 1985. “We are a Christian organization, and our whole idea is to promote the sanctity of life,” she said. “We try to be supportive and build relationships with the women that come in.” The organization provides free pregnancy tests and peer counseling to women so they

have information about their pregnancy options. The council also has an incentive program called helping hands, designed to help parents “to be the best they can be,” Provines said. “They can earn DCOP dollars and use them in our baby store to buy maternity items and baby items.” On a regular basis, the DCOP hosts earn-while-you learn, prenatal development and child safety classes at its main office at 211 N. Jackson St. in Auburn or at the First Church of Christ at 213 E. King St. in Garrett. “We’ll be offering the same services (in Butler) as we do here,” Provines said. “The difference is that the store is

located here in Auburn. We will have a few emergency items available, such as diapers and baby wipes. Basically, everything else that we do here, we’ll be doing (in Butler). “Transportation sometimes can be an issue for people,” Provines said. “That’s partly why we wanted to go to Butler, so that people who need our services can get them.” “We’re very thankful,” Patton said. “We’ve been trying to reach out to the community in tangible ways.” The church hosts a hot meal ministry Wednesday evenings, he said. Provines has been director only a short time, but she said the DCOP has welcomed 35

Auction caps 4-H fair week BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com AUBURN — It was a fine week at the DeKalb County Free fall Fair for 4-H’er Madisyn Murphy. She took home grand champion honors in 4-H judging of swine, meat wether goats and exhibition poultry. Friday, she capped off her victories by receiving a $2,900 bid on her champion goat at the 4-H Livestock Auction, setting a new auction record for a goat.

“It makes me very happy,” Murphy said of her success at the fair. “It took a lot of work and dedication.” Murphy, 14, attends Garrett High School and is in her sixth year of 4-H. This marks her third year showing goats. Friday’s goat auction attracted another record-breaking bid when Ashley Lang received $2,800 for her grand champion dairy wether. “I worked really hard,” Lang

said of her goat project. She also thanked her parents for their help and encouragement. Lang is the daughter of Jon and Janine Zehr. She plans to use her auction proceeds toward next year’s 4-H livestock project or for college. She hopes to study to become a veterinarian, she said. Bidders were generous in other livestock categories. In the beef auction, Joshua Clifford’s grand champion beef steer sold for

$3,500. Complete Maintenance Service was the high bidder. “Friends and Family of Tabby Clifford” bid $3,200 for Tabitha Clifford’s reserve grand champion steer. In the dairy beef category, Ben Davis Chevrolet paid $3,350 for Justin Niles’ reserve grand champion dairy steer and Brand Dairy Farm bid $3,600 for ➤ Auction, Page 5

AUBURN — Police will charge six people in connection with a drug investigation early Thursday morning, Auburn Police Chief Martin D.

CTA shows age is just a number You’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll. Danny Seraphine and Bill Champlin showed age is only a number as they demonstrated musicianship and energy that would put artists half their age to shame during Thursday’s California Transit Authority concert at the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair. Seraphine, 65, a founding member and former drummer for Chicago, and Champlin, 66, who played with Chicago for nearly 30 years, and the rest of CTA tore through several of that band’s classics, including “Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?” “Make Me Smile,” “Look Away,” “Hard Habit to Break,” “Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” “Beginnings,” “Saturday in the Park,” “I’m a Man,” and “25 or 6 to 4.” It’s an embarrassment that to date, Chicago’s talents and legacy — and the

contributions of Seraphine and Chamblin to that legacy — have been overlooked by the “experts” among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame board of directors. Still, that didn’t prevent Thursday’s crowd from JUST having a good time. THINKING The OUT CTA show LOUD wasn’t Jeff Jones only about recreating the past, however. Along with its take on Chicago classics, the band offered crowd-pleasing original recordings “Full Circle” and “Sacred Ground.” The latter reflects the rekindled friendship between Seraphine and Champlin following an acrimonious parting as

members of Chicago. If you missed CTA, you missed one of the best concerts to come to the DeKalb County Fair, as the hits kept coming, featuring new vocalist Tony Grant, guitarist-singer Marc Bonilla, keyboardist Ed Roth and a three-piece horn section. While providing the band’s backbone without a break during the show, Seraphine took center stage for a powerful drum solo in “I’m a Man.” Bonilla and Champlin traded guitar licks during “25 or 6 to 4,” and the versatile Champlin also stepped behind the organ and keyboards throughout the show. Bonilla, Champlin, Grant and bassist Travis Davis, an Indiana native, all took turns on lead vocals. In a two-hour performance, CTA took its audience on a musical journey it won’t soon forget.

HIP: A better solution for our state BY DENNIS KRUSE As you may have heard in the news, several businesses have been forced to cut employee hours or let workers go as they prepare for the heavy tax burdens and mandates associated with Obamacare. With all the confusion and concern surrounding the federal health-care overhaul, it is a good time to highlight Indiana’s successful, consumer-driven approach to health care reform that stands in stark contrast to these unsustainable federal efforts. We received news this month that the federal government granted Indiana’s request to continue

implementing its Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP). This is great news for our state’s autonomy, and our innovative approach to reforming health care. In 2007, state lawmakers crafted HIP to help low-income Hoosiers Kruse afford health insurance while encouraging fiscal responsibility and personal accountability. The plan, which is building momentum and efficiency still today, is the first of its kind in the nation.

HIP is designed to provide health care coverage in a more consumer-driven way than the broken Medicaid system. Everyone in HIP gets commercial health insurance, and the state pays most of the cost, but — unlike Medicaid — participants have to pay a small part of the cost, at most 5 percent of their family income. This approach means participants have some financial “skin in the game,” giving them an incentive to practice healthy behaviors and limit unnecessary health-care usage. HIP participants also have access to preventative checkups

that are paid for — and required — by the state. These proactive measures can catch problems early, thereby eliminating complications and costly procedures down the road. Not only does our plan both provide revolutionary coverage and promote personal accountability, but participants support it. In a survey of HIP enrollees, 94 percent reported they were satisfied with the program. I’m grateful the Pence administration was able to secure a waiver from the federal government allowing us to continue building, maintaining and overseeing HIP

for another year. HIP is a program that works for Indiana, is fiscally responsible and allows the state to remain in control of its health-care needs. While many questions about Obamacare remain, it’s encouraging to know HIP will continue serving low-income Hoosiers in need of health care. I hope this program will continue into the future and help Indiana become a leader in health-care reform that works. What do you think? State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) represents DeKalb County.

Blazers fall short at Lakeland, 28-14 BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com LAGRANGE — Three Lakeland running backs ran for more than 100 yards and another had nearly 90 yards, but the Lakers needed a big defensive stop midway through the fourth quarter to turn aside upset-minded Eastside, 28-14 at LaGrange Friday. The Lakers improved to 6-0 overall and in Northeast Corner Conference play. The Blazers fell to 1-5 overall and 0-5 in NECC play. Lakeland rolled up 486 yards of offense, all but 10 of it on the ground. Sophomore fullback Josh Collyer carried 18 times for 133 yards and one score. Senior slotback Taylor Raatz gained 119 yards on 11 attempts for three touchdowns. Senior fullback Thomas Roebel added 107 yards on 16 carries. For good measure, senior slotback Kyle Casper added 85 yards. Despite Lakeland owning more than a 200-yard advantage in total offense, the score was tied at 14 heading into the fourth quarter.

That’s when the Lakers found a little something extra. Lakeland ground out three first downs in the final three minutes of the third, and gained another early in the fourth before Raatz scored from eight yards out with 9:26 to play. Marco Olivares’ extra-point kick made it 21-14 Lakers. The Blazers, who showed second-half explosiveness on offense after gaining just two first downs in the first half, immediately threatened. Freshman quarterback Conner Dove threw a deep ball to senior Ty Lockhart for 32 yards to the Lakeland 26. Junior P.J. Dean completed a short pass to Jesse Eck for another first down, this time to the Lakeland 11. Two plays later, however, Dean’s pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage, and Lakeland’s Casper made a diving interception at his 5-yard line to snuff the drive. The Lakers went 95 yards in just under four minutes, with Raatz scoring from 26 yards out with 1:33 to play.

Raatz also scored the game’s first points with 1:51 left in the first, capping an 11-play, 72-yard drive with a six-yard run. That was all the scoring through the first half. Eastside’s Terry Nickolson recovered a fumble to end one Lakeland possession, and Olivares missed a 34-yard field goal to the right late in the half. Eastside nearly scored late in the half, as Dean hit a streaking Lockhart for 46 yards to the Lakeland 36, and ran 32 yards himself as the halftime horn sounded, only to be tripped up at the 4. After Lakeland came up empty on another field goal try on its first possession of the third, Eastside did find the end zone, as Dean faked a pass and tucked the ball away untouched for a 49-yard run with 5:49 left in the third. Lakeland needed exactly one minute to respond, as big runs by Casper and Collyer preceded the latter’s four-yard TD run at 4:45. Eastside answered back in 1:21. Kadis Renier ripped off a 36-yard run to across

Blazer girls swept by DeKalb BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com WATERLOO — There comes a point when you put fatigue aside and decide it’s time to win the game. After winning the first game 25-14 over Eastside Sept. 23, the DeKalb Barons were faced with that scenario in game two, when the Blazers took a 23-21 lead. The Barons came out of a timeout, quickly gained two kills, and a Maddy Fifer ace closed out the 25-23 rally and win. In the third game, DeKalb (11-4) maintained a steady, if not comfortable margin throughout, pulling away for a 25-16 win. “We looked tired, just coming off a tournament this weekend, but they rallied back, and when I challenged them in game two to step up and get some points, they responded and pulled it out,” DeKalb coach Andrea Spiess said. “When this team makes that choice, they’re really mentally tough, and that’s something we talk about, playing as a team, being mentally tough behind the line and staying aggressive.” DeKalb led 9-5 in game three, but Eastside (5-12) hung around, pulling to within 14-13 on an Erin Strock tip. Hannah Lewis had a kill, and a Lexi Hooks ace boosted the Baron lead to 16-13. After an exchange of sideouts, Lewis had a kill and ace, and Hooks added a back row kill to extend the lead to five. Hunter Daub contributed an ace into the far corner, and Hayley Martin’s kill

THE Butler Bulletin

Revamped Eastside gym ready for use BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The main gymnasium at Eastside Junior-Senior High School has undergone a major facelift the last two years. Last summer and fall, the locker rooms were completely renovated, and new locker rooms for girls’ athletic teams and game officials were created. This year, the gym’s interior has been given a new look. The ceiling and walls have been painted white. Overhead, new, energy-efficient LED lights have been installed, replacing the dim, aging 400-watt units that had been in place for more than 20 years. “With the new lighting, locker rooms and the new paint job, it’s really went through a makeover the last few years,” said Eastside athletic director Aaron Willard. The new lights use half as much electricity as the old lights, but produce three times the candlepower, DeKalb Eastern maintenance supervisor Rod Laux explained. “The number-one benefit

is the energy savings,” Laux said. “With the paint, the new floor and the new lights, it doesn’t look like it was built in 1971.” Each individual light can be dimmed or brightened as needed, and up to eight distinct preset lighting patterns can be used, Laux explained. Depending on the use, all of the lights may be on or just the lights over the playing floor, while dimming those over the bleachers, as examples. Because of the work this summer, the gym hasn’t been available since the start of the school year. Students and athletic teams began using the facility last week. A crew from A&H Athletic Floor Services, Inc. of Noblesville began work in mid-August. Workers sanded the surface, using different grits and applications to remove the sealer, paint and markings, Willard explained. After cleaning the surface, they taped the areas for the basic lines and border paint, applied the graphics, including the flaming E at mid-court and “Eastside” and “Blazers” at opposite ends of the basketball court.

Jeff Jones

This tilted angle offers a glimpse at the new lights, paint and gym floor design at Eastside Junior-Senior High School’s main gym. The revamped gym was put on display last week. The new basketball floor features stained three-point areas. The intent, Willard explained, was to blend with the wooden doors at the

main gym entrance. In addition to the basketball court markings, auxiliary lines were painted for various physical

education classes and volleyball on the main floor. Once those were finished, crews applied multiple layers of clear coat paint,

sandwiched by buffing and polishing previous coats. “I’m happy with the way it turned out,” Willard said. “It looks very nice.”

Cole Kelham’s grand champion market lamb sold for $1,600, and Vince Marshall’s reserve grand champion market lamb attracted a high bid of $2,000. “Friends and Family of Taylor Rowe” bid $2,600 for Rowe’s swine, which was the reserve grand champion barrow. Rowe is a 10-year 4-H’er and attends Purdue University. Grand champion dairy winner Matthew Jacobs received a bid of $1,300, with the buyer taking home a horn of cheese. Milan Center Feed and

Grain bid $1,100 for a number of items, including a miniature model of a horse, homemade pies, apples and a gift card auctioned by the 4-H Horse and Pony Club. The money will go to the 4-H capital improvement fund. Auburn Insurance Center and Victory Farms joined together to buy the Pink Panther novelty item from the DeKalb County 4-H Council. Auburn Insurance Center paid $800 and Victory Farms added $300, for a total of $1,100, setting a new auction record. The money will go to the 4-H general fund to benefit all 4-H’ers, explained auctioneer John Kruse.
