and Dunakin inside. Additional charges are possible against both subjects, police said. Around 3:15 p.m. Sunday, police encountered what Nichols described as a “very dangerous situation” involving what was termed a mobile methamphetamine lab. Police received a report of a suspicious man in the 500 block of West Main Street. When Assistant Chief Matt Traster and Detective Matt Tamez arrived, they found Bruce L. Jones, 26, of Northcrest Mobile Home Park, carrying a small backpack.

Jones gave police consent to search the backpack, and police allegedly found several items commonly associated with the manufacture of meth, Nichols reported. “This subject was basically carrying a mobile meth lab on his back at the time he was talked to by our officers,” Nichols said. Jones has been charged with possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a park or school, a Class C felony. Later Sunday, police responded to a

residence in the 200 block of East Main Street to continue an investigation that began Saturday night. There, Tamez found two active, one-pot meth labs on the property. Police evacuated the property and called the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team to dismantle the labs. “We had to shut U.S. 6 down for a brief amount of time at the request of Indiana State Police” due to the serious nature of the ➤ Arrest, Page 6

Shooting drill opens eyes BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Gunfire rings out in the hallways of the school. In the office doorway lies a school resource officer. A few feet down the hallway is a student, facedown — another shooting victim. In the distance, more gunfire is heard as the shooter goes from room to room, leaving more victims in his wake. In one room, two student victims can be seen holding hands, as if trying to comfort the other. Spent shell casings are strewn about the hallways as more students fall victim to the sniper. Police officers — more and more by the second — arrive and enter the building, armed with shotguns and rifles. This scenario has taken place in more than one school across the country in the past 15 years. On this Oct. 15 morning, the shooting is at Eastside Junior-Senior High School, but it is only a drill, conducted by Indiana State Police, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and Butler Police, as teachers, principals and staff members from Eastside and Butler and Riverdale elementary schools observed.

Jeff Jones

Armed police officers go through the Eastside hallways as teachers and staff look on during a training exercise Oct. 15. The drill was conducted by Indiana State Police, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and Butler Police. “It’s something I hope always remains an exercise and something no one has to come through and face in a real-life situation,” Superintendent Dr.

Jeff Stephens said. “For the staff, I think how much time it seems to take is very eye-opening,” he said. “On TV, (police are) there

within 30 seconds, the situation is resolved, and you go on with life. That’s not how it works.” ➤ Drill, Page 6

Butler train victim still critical BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Butler resident Terry Gordon is described as a fun-loving, caring person, according to a family member. Gordon, 36, has opened her eyes and talked to family members as she remains hospitalized in critical condition at a Fort Wayne hospital. Gordon was hit by a freight train in the early morning hours of Oct. 12 west of the downtown Norfolk Southern railroad crossing in Butler. “She opened her eyes for a few seconds at a time (Wednesday),” said brother-in-law Brent Lopez.

Gordon talking with family members Thursday night, Lopez reported Gordon was talking to family members. Although she is on a breathing machine for assistance, Gordon is able to breathe on her own, he said. Since she was struck, Gordon has undergone multiple surgeries, including having a steel plate inserted into her foot and plastic

surgery to repair facial fractures, he said. Gordon has lived in Butler for about five years, attends church locally, and works for Maintenance on Wheels. Gordon “She’s just fun-loving,” Lopez said in describing Gordon. “She loves everybody, and she loves life. She prays for everybody else before she prays for herself. She’s all about family and God. She’s a great person.” An MRI was scheduled to

determine the extent of Gordon’s brain injuries, he said. She has several fractures from head to toe, and there is no date yet for her to be removed from intensive care. Only family members are allowed to visit Gordon at this time. Butler Police are conducting an investigation into the circumstances of the incident and to determine if any foul play was involved, Police Chief Jim Nichols said. The train was traveling at about 50 mph when the engineer and conductor spotted Gordon on the foggy morning, Lopez said. The train was moving at about 20 mph when it struck Gordon, Nichols reported.

Public Safety, the City Council — with Ron Baker, Jerry Eldridge, Eric Johnson and Larry Moore present — approved separate measures to proceed with the project and sell municipal bonds to pay the cost, not to exceed $1.4 million. This project calls for replacing approximately 2,000 feet of water main in the 100 and 200 blocks of South Broadway, and approximately 1,000 feet of water main along East Green Street near Eastside Junior-Senior High School and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks. It is believed South Broadway water main is at least 100 years old, and has been repaired many times, particularly in the past several years. In other business, the City Council approved the following measures: • The final reading to rezone the Walter Prosser property along C.R. 61 from industrial to agricultural use; • The renewal of a lease with DeKalb Health for EMS quarters at the Butler fire station. The monthly lease will remain at $650; and • A request from the Butler Police Department to participate in Operation Pullover. Off-duty

Aging Butler water main to be replaced officer salaries will be paid for with a grant. Leaf pick-up has begun in Butler, according to Mayor Ron Walter and Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck. Residents are asked to rake leaves to the curb, but not into the street. The Butler-Wilmington Fire Territory board will meet at 7 p.m. Nov. 14 at the fire station. In the Board of Works meeting, city planner Steve Bingham reported he and Butler’s building inspector identified several properties that need attention and may require action by the board’s unsafe building committee. One vacant industrial property — the former Engineered Materials building — and several residential properties were identified. While he was not present Monday, street superintendent Ted Miller was “not happy” that API Construction has delayed street paving until early November, Eck said. Street work was slated to begin Oct. 14.

Blazers win third straight, 34-13 BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Possibly the best thing about Friday’s football game between the Eastside Blazers and Prairie Heights Panthers is both teams get a fresh start next week when sectional play begins. Each team committed four turnovers and combined for 130 yards in penalties in a game won by the Blazers, 34-13. There was a 20-minute delay in the third quarter when the lights and scoreboard went out at Eastside’s field, plunging the field into darkness. In the fourth quarter, injured Prairie Heights lineman Michael May was wheeled off the field on a stretcher. The Blazers finish regular-season play at 4-5 overall and 3-5 in the Northeast Corner Conference. The Panthers end the regular season at 4-5 overall and 4-4 in the NECC. Eastside struck first when Jacob Thompson recovered a Panther fumble on the first scrimmage play. Four plays later, Tristan Sprunger caught a short pass from P.J. Dean, and the Blazers led 6-0 barely a minute into the contest. That’s where it stayed until late in the half. The Blazers lost fumbles on three of their next five possessions and had short

punts on two others, giving the Panthers quality scoring opportunities. Prairie Liechty Heights was unable to capitalize when an apparent touchdown pass from Kyler West to Corey Johnson was Renier ruled out of bounds. Later, the Panthers gave up the ball on downs inside the Blazer five, and threw an interception on another drive that began in Eastside territory. The Blazers, who had just four first downs for the game, gave themselves some breathing room with two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the half. The first score was set up when Dean caught a Conner Dove pass for 78 yards to the Panther three, scoring three plays later with 1:29 left. After a Prairie Heights three-and-out, in large part due to a bad snap that cost the visitors 11 yards, Eastside got the ball back at its 36 with 22 seconds to go. That proved to be just

Lockhart intercepted two passes in the Blazers’ 34-13 win. end zone late in the third quarter as West scored from the one after a personal foul penalty against Eastside gave the visitors the ball at the Blazer 31. Early in the final quarter, Eastside’s Kadis Renier broke loose for an 87-yard touchdown run. The Panthers answered with a one-yard run by Johnson with 3:16 to play. A booming punt downed at the Panther one set up the

game’s final score, when Eastside’s Ryan Liechty recovered a fumble in the end zone with 20 seconds to play. Renier led Eastside with 143 yards rushing on six carries. Dove completed 3-of-7 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown.

Extra Points Eastside now leads the all-time series with Prairie Heights 28-11-1. The lone

tie came in 1968. The Blazers have won 19 of the last 21 meetings. Renier’s 87-yard touchdown run is the fourth-longest in Eastside history. Jeff Myers ran for a 98-yard touchdown in a 1966 game against Lakeland. The next two are 90 yards by Roger Kitchen in 1966 against South Adams and 88 yards by Corey Fogle in 2001 against Fairfield.

Band receives silver at regionals

Jeff Jones

Members of Eastside’s Marching Pride Band perform during a recent contest. The Blazers received a silver rating at Saturday’s regional contest.

Arrest from Page 1 meth labs, Nichols said. Police arrested Brandon Rhodes, 20, of the 200 block of East Main Street, Butler, on a charge of dealing in methamphetamine, a Class A felony. “Detective Matthew Tamez and Assistant Chief Matt Traster worked very hard, and the fruits of their hard work are three more meth labs are off the streets of Butler,” Nichols said. “We will continue to take a highly aggressive posture by investigating and arresting those who

continue to manufacture, use, or sell methamphetamine and other drugs in the city of Butler,” Nichols said. “Ten years ago, this was not a problem. Now, we are dealing with it on a constant basis. “Our intelligence network, as always, continues to grow, and as it does, we are closing down the labs as fast as we can process the intelligence and formulate a strategy for enforcement,” Nichols stated. “Lab by lab, we’re going to get the job done.”

hearts out,” he said. “I’m very thankful for everything they’ve done for me this season. They worked really hard, especially with the change.” Newell replaced James Graham as director shortly after the school year started when Graham took a job at DeKalb. In Class C competition Saturday at Chesterton, Garrett’s Railroader Regiment received a silver award. Bands earning gold awards and advancing to semi-state competition were

Concordia, Angola, Norwell, Maconaquah, Twin Lakes, NorthWood, Fairfield, John Glenn, Northwestern and Leo. Knox also received a gold, but did not place among the top 10 bands. In addition to Garrett, Heritage and New Prairie received silver awards. Wawasee and Calumet received bronze awards. Eastside’s marching season isn’t over. On Saturday, Nov. 2, the Blazers will perform at the Mid-States championships in Cincinnati, Ohio.

identified with a gunshot. That same trooper stepped outside the auditorium and fired again, this time muffled and not so easily identifiable. Again and again, at varying distances, more shots were fired, sounding much more like a popcorn bag popping or a book falling out of a locker than a bullet fired from a gun. “Have a plan, practice your plan and put your plan into action,” Weber said. When police respond, their task will be to eliminate the threat first, he explained, not to care for victims. Senior Kristina DeForest and sophomore Jason Harper were among students who portrayed shooting victims. Even though she knew it was only a drill, “I was

scared and I wanted to get out of there,” DeForest said. “I didn’t know what to do,” Harper said. “I just ran basically.” “It makes it more realistic,” DeForest said. “I understand it a lot more, and it scares me more.” She was thankful to be able to participate. When asked what she learned, DeForest responded, “You need lock the doors and try and be as safe as you can.” Seeing or reading about shooting events is one thing. Being in an exercise or in an actual shooting is another. “It’s horrible,” Harper said. “It could be me. It could be my friends.” During his discussion, Weber identified potential warning signs — increased absenteeism, mood swings

or explosive outbursts, suicidal thoughts and drug abuse — among many characteristics and variables. School resource officers are invaluable because they tend to interact with the students and can see changes in behavior or signs of possible problems, Weber said. Teachers and faculty should communicate and share what they observe. Stephens expects teachers and staff will provide many ideas after going through the exercise. “They’ll come up with a lot of questions, and a lot of it will be, as the sergeant said, ‘How do you think you will respond?’ ‘Do you think it will work?’ “It’s a lot of ‘What is the best you can do, given this set of circumstances?’”

Drill from Page 1 “It’s a sad day when we have to have this discussion,” ISP Sgt. Max Weber told the gathered faculty. “You didn’t go into this to become a defender. You went into education because you love kids. “The shooter fired about 20 rounds, but he could have just as easily fired a lot more, maybe 200-300 rounds,” Weber said. “Your main priority is to buy time until police can get here. That classroom is your threshold, your space.” Earlier, as the faculty gathered in the Millie Hansen Auditorium, another trooper fired a blank round in the massive room, generating a sound easily

In addition to Eastside, Elwood, North Putnam and Clinton Central received silver ratings in regional competition. “The kids were disappointed of course, because they wanted to move onto semi-state,” Eastside director Damon Newell said. “They know they gave it everything they had.” “We had a really good week of rehearsal, and they played and marched their
