75 cents Butler, Indiana ESTABLISHED IN 1866

Council adopts 2014 budget BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The Butler City Council passed its proposed 2014 budget Monday. The advertised budget, nearly $2.4 million, represents a tax rate of $1.8028 per $100 assessed value. The final budget and tax rate will not be known until both have been approved by the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance. The 2013 certified budget — $2.17 million — carried a tax rate of $1.2081, according to Butler Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck. Prior to Monday’s meeting, the

COMMUNITY EVENTS

DeKalb County Council reviewed the proposed budget, commenting that it felt the general fund rate was “excessive,” Eck said. “The reason for that is because we don’t yet know our assessed value,” she said. The City Council’s budget hearing was held Sept. 17, and like that meeting, no citizens appeared Monday to address the proposed budget. Also Monday, by two 5-0 votes, the City Council voted to rezone the Prosser farm property on C.R. 61 from heavy industry to agriculture use. Although the farm is not

within Butler’s city limits, it is within the Butler Plan Commission’s extra-territorial jurisdiction. The Prossers must complete some paperwork before the measure can be approved on its third reading. In other business, the City Council approved: • the third and final readings of a salary ordinance for elected officials; • the third and final reading of a salary ordinance for appointed officials and city employees; and • the final reading of a 27 percent water rate increase ordinance that will raise the

average homeowner’s water bill by $7 per month. Prior to the City Council meeting, longtime employees Brian Moore and Ted Miller received John N. Hurty Service Awards from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management for their work to improve water quality in Indiana. Moore has worked for the City of Butler for 28 years, and Miller has worked for the city for 32 years. Earlier, Butler’s Board of Works approved two equipment requests from Butler Fire Chief Jeff Shultz:

FORT WAYNE — Eastside’s Marching Pride Band placed fourth at the Homestead Fall Festival of Bands Saturday. Adams Central placed first among Class D bands, winning the special award for general effect, and tying with Pioneer for best music. Second-place Henryville won the best visual effect award. Bluffton placed third, followed by Eastside, Pioneer and Southwestern (Hanover). Woodlan, originally scheduled to participate, did not perform. “Saturday was quite the monsoon to march in,” Eastside director Damon Newell said. “It rained hard on us from the minute

we pulled up to Homestead to the minute we left the field. “I was very proud of my kids and their mental toughness in the performance. We did march and play our full show, (but) because of the conditions at the time of our performance, we were unable to use any of our props, soundtrack narration or wireless mics for our soloists. “Not having those components did keep us from displaying our entire show’s message Saturday,” Newell said. “Outside of that, I was very proud of every one of my kids for toughing it out and giving their all.” ➤ Band, Page 4

Holiday loaf sales to begin Nov. 1 AUBURN — The Auburn Kiwanis Club will begin sales of its holiday loaf Nov. 1, said Eugene Fuhrer, Children First Center board member and chairman of the annual fundraiser. The first loaves will come out of the oven Thursday, Oct. 31, at about 9:30 p.m. Members anticipate baking 5,000 loaves the first weekend with another 3,000 the second. Loaves will be on sale for $4 apiece beginning Nov. 1 at the Auburn Presbyterian Church at

the corner of Twelfth and Jackson streets in Auburn. Auburn Kiwanis has partnered with Children First for more than 40 years to prepare, bake and sell holiday loaf, with the proceeds donated by the Auburn Kiwanis to Children First. “On behalf of the Auburn Kiwanis Club, I would like to extend to you an invitation to try Holiday Loaf,” said Fuhrer. “For 42 years, the Auburn Kiwanis have had the privilege of baking this

holiday favorite. Perhaps the best part, second only to holiday loaf itself, is that the funds raised by this event go back into our own local communities by supporting Children First. “A successful event is dependent upon everyone in northeast Indiana supporting this once-a-year treat with their kind purchases of Holiday Loaf. We are truly blessed that we live in such generous communities,” he added. Children First operates in five

counties of northeast Indiana: DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley. “At its core, Children First is dedicated to helping families and children grow and develop to their fullest potential through available resources, referrals, education and proactive programming,” said executive director Pat Zakula. “Our mission is to help children become all they can possibly ➤ Holiday loaf, Page 4

New scam threatens utility shutoffs INDIANAPOLIS — State and utility officials are warning Hoosiers about a scam. Some Hoosiers have received calls from people who claim to be representing a utility company and threatening to turn off services without an immediate payment. Indiana utilities companies want Hoosiers to know that the fraudulent calls are part of an ongoing scam. “If someone calls you, claims

to be from your utility and demands immediate payment, hang up and do not give out any personal or financial information,” said Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor David Stippler. “Then, call your utility at the customer service number that appears on your bill. The utility should be made aware of the contact and can verify your account status at any time.” Indiana law requires electric

and natural gas utilities under the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to provide customers with a written notice with at least 14 days’ warning before they turn off services. These utility companies include Citizens Gas, Duke Energy, Indiana Michigan Power, Indianapolis Power & Light, Northern Indiana Public Service Company and Vectren Energy Delivery.

Water utility companies under the IURC must provide customers with written notice at least seven days in advance. Exceptions include life-threatening situations, equipment tampering and fraudulent use of service. Local and rural utilities set up their own procedures. The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor encourages Hoosiers to become familiar with their utilities’ rates and rules.

Eastside rolls over Eagles, 60-13 BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The Eastside Blazers scored on seven of eight first-half possessions on the way to a 60-13 Northeast Corner Conference rain-soaked victory over the Fremont Eagles at Butler Friday. The Blazers (2-5 overall, 1-5 in the NECC) snapped a five-game losing streak behind 145 rushing yards and two touchdowns by junior P.J. Dean and 113 receiving yards and two scores by senior Ty Lockhart. Freshman quarterback Conner Dove completed 10-of-12 passes for 177 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Dean was 2-of-3 for 42 yards and one TD pass. On the ground, Dean scored on runs of 47 and 20 yards. Kadis Renier, who finished with 62 yards, added a 45-yard TD run, and Dove, who had 49 yards, added a 26-yard run for another score. Defensively, the Blazers held the Eagles to just 31 yards total offense in the first half, and 120 yards for the game. Lockhart intercepted two passes and Dean intercepted one. Eastside also recovered two onside kicks, each setting up a touchdown. Fremont (2-5 overall, 1-5 in the NECC) scored both of its touchdowns from Eastside turnovers. After the hosts jumped to an 18-0 lead after one, Fremont’s Ryan Sichling recovered a fumble deep in Eastside territory, setting

up Nate Beatty’s 5-yard TD run with 9:22 left in the half. In the fourth quarter, Fremont’s Brock Baker returned a Blazer fumble 22 yards for a touchdown. Dean Following Fremont’s first score, an Eastside tidal wave hit, as the hosts scored four times in the final eight minutes of the half, swelling an 18-6 lead to 46-6 by the horn. Dove After Dean’s 20-yard touchdown run with 7:25 left, the Blazers pounced on an onside kick. One play later, Dove and Lockhart hooked up for a 33-yard TD pass for a 32-6 lead. After Fremont went three-and-out, Eastside went 78 yards in less than five minutes, with Terry Nickolson scoring from the one with 1:25 left in the half. The Blazers weren’t done though, recovering another onside kick. This time, Dean and Lockhart connected for a 37-yard TD pass with 33.1 seconds left. Fremont’s Nate Beatty, who was held to six yards rushing in the first half, finished with 83 yards on the ground. The Blazers visit Central Noble Friday.

Bulldogs deny Blazers win on senior day

BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The New Haven Bulldogs played the role of spoiler on senior day for Eastside’s soccer team with a 6-1 victory. Junior T.J. Moeller led the Bulldog attack with four goals — a Texas hat trick. Sophomore Gilberto Casteneda added a goal and an assist, and sophomore A.J. Mettert had one goal. Despite the final score, most of the first half was spent in Eastside’s offensive end, as the Blazers (2-13) pressured the Bulldogs, but couldn’t find the back of the net. “The ball movement was something we’ve been working on,” Eastside coach Tom Utnage said afterwards. “The ball movement through our midfield was really beautiful to see. We’ve just got to be able to finish. That was our weakness tonight,

getting that finishing touch.” Moeller’s first tally was an unassisted goal with 15:51 left in the first. It stayed that way until Moeller scored again with 7:35 left. He took a pass from Casteneda and deked Eastside goalie Zach Yoder to put the ball in the far corner. While Eastside couldn’t put the ball in the net itself, the Blazers drew within one when Colton Hein put a good shot on goal. New Haven’s Baltazar Diaz attempted to clear the ball out of harm’s way, only to put it in his own goal with 3:49 to play in the half. The Bulldogs, however, didn’t let the Blazers build on that momentum, as Casteneda took a paspss from Kirklan Ziambao and scored less than 45 seconds later to make it 3-1. If that wasn’t even of a bad turn of events, the early

to Matthew Lieb and Nick Shewman. Nathan Rodman, Cedric Roose and Carson Smith each recovered a fumble for Eastside. The eighth-grade Blazers (2-3) won a 7-6 nail-biter over the Cougars. Central Noble struck first with an 85-yard punt return, and Eastside committed three turnovers in the first half.

The Blazers scored the winning touchdown with 3:20 to play. On third and 10, Caleb Ballentine and Spencer Geyer hooked up for a 60-yard gain to the Cougar 20. Ballentine took it in on the next play, and Aaron Dean scored the go-ahead extra point. Jordan Esposito, Logan Hegerfeld and Cable Leeper each recovered a fumble.

moments of the second half didn’t make it better. Eastside defender Cory Renfrow stripped the ball from a New Haven attacker and sent a clearing pass the other way. A New Haven player attempted to play the ball, but missed, and Blazer teammate Jared Yoder ran it down and seemingly scored to make it 3-2. Not so fast; as the ball went into the net, the referee blew his whistle after observing the side judge had signaled Yoder to be offsides. Moeller scored a big momentum goal two minutes later to make it 4-1 Bulldogs. “I’m proud of the boys with how they’re working the ball, getting it into the open spaces and playing it across,” Utnage said. “I don’t think that’s something we’ve seen this season. To

bring it (now) was remarkable. “The score wasn’t what we wanted it to be, but the growth has been tremendous.”

Sideswipe crash breaks teen’s leg BUTLER — A teenage driver sustained injuries when a semi sideswiped his disabled vehicle Thursday night, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department reported. Taylor A. VanDyke, 17, of Butler, suffered broken tibia and fibula bones in his left leg and fractures in his foot area, a news release said. A DeKalb EMS ambulance crew took him to Parkview Regional Medical Center at Fort Wayne for treatment. VanDyke was driving south on C.R. 61, south of C.R. 36, when his 1999 Pontiac Sunfire struck an opossum and soon broke down, police said. He stopped the car partially off the edge of the roadway. His passenger told police they attempted to turn on the hazard lights, but no lights were working on the exterior of the car. She then felt the car move slightly, and VanDyke, her boyfriend, started screaming in pain. The semi driver,
