Kendallville man arrested on meth charges BUTLER — Police arrested a Kendallville man on drug charges after a traffic stop in Butler early Thursday morning. Daniel R.

NEWS IN BRIEF Spilled detergent creates slick roadway BUTLER — A truck that had delivered detergent left behind a soapy spill around 10:30 p.m. Friday at the Steel Dynamics complex, 4500 C.R. 59. Butler Fire Chief Jeff Shultz did not know what caused the spill, which was discovered after the truck already left the grounds. Most of the spillage occurred at the main gate, an approximate 50-foot stretch. An approximately 35-foot spillage area was found on C.R. 59. The primary hazard was slippery conditions on the roadway and at the main gate, Shultz said. There were no environmental hazards. Firefighters simply washed the material away. Eight firefighters responded, and had the situation under control at 11:30 p.m., Shultz said.

around 3 a.m., Officer Casey Kintz of the Butler Police Department made a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle with false and fictitious registration in the 800 block of South Broadway. Nichols said due the behavior of the driver, Kintz called for a police K9, and Officer John Geyer of the Hamilton Police Department came with his police dog.

Nichols said Geyer’s K9 alerted on the vehicle, and during an inventory of the vehicle before towing it, Kintz found two active one-pot meth labs, precursors used to manufacture methamphetamine and several plastic bags containing what is believed to be methamphetamine. Nichols praised Kintz’s actions and expressed thanks to Geyer and his K-9 for assisting with the investigation.

Daring to be different BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Imagine it’s opening night of basketball season and the announcer intones over the PA system, “Let’s welcome your “Northeastern Trojans,” “Eastwood Spartans” or “Butler Bearcats” instead of Eastside Blazers. Any combination of those names could have been the official school name and nickname of the local sports teams. In May 1963, the DeKalb Eastern school board, which itself had been in existence less than a year, chose Eastside and Blazers from the above names, as submitted by Butler and Riverdale students. That fall, those students united in the great adventure that was Eastside. According to an article in the St. Joe News, earlier in the 1962-1963 school year, Butler principal Kent Myers was placed in charge of the project. “I was the student council advisor, and I think maybe because I taught at Butler and graduated from Riverdale, (school leaders felt) that I might be able to bring things together a little,” retired

teacher Robert Wilder said. “I remember driving to Riverdale and bringing those students to Butler for meetings,” he said. “My memory is they made recommendations on the school name, the nickname and school colors.” Students at Butler and Riverdale submitted names through their respective home rooms, organizations and student councils. Those names were then given to a joint council, headed by Wilder, and that group pared down the ideas to submit to the school board. “They settled on green and white,” Wilder said. “I think a lot of that was probably so they could continue to use the athletic uniforms. I don’t remember exactly what they did on band uniforms, whether they got new ones or used the Butler uniforms.” Wilder came up with Riverdale

BUTLER — As Eastside High School is in its 50th year of existence, anyone with memorabilia from Eastside, Butler, Riverdale, St. Joe or Spencerville high schools is invited to share those items for display during an informal open house at Wednesday’s Eastside-Garrett boys basketball game. The reserve game tips off at 6 p.m. Patrons can walk the Eastside hallways, visit the Millie Hansen Auditorium, dinner theater or witness some of the latest classroom technology. Staff members will be available in various parts of the building. Patrons are invited to share memorabilia — old photos, yearbooks, athletic apparel, trophies and newspaper articles — about any of the schools in eastern DeKalb County.

National Legion leader visits BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com GARRETT — The national leader of American Legion stopped in Garrett Nov. 18 during a three-day trip throughout Indiana. National Commander Dan Dellinger was escorted to Garrett Post 178 by some 30 American Legion Riders and greeted by dozens of area post commanders and district dignitaries under an avenue of American flags. Dellinger shared his vision during remarks to Legion members following a dinner prepared by the Garrett American Legion Auxiliary. Dellinger said he likes to visit the various Legion posts to thank them for what they do for the community and for veterans. His motto for this year stems from his background in construction. “I know that you need a strong foundation to build anything that lasts, and the American Legion has that foundation with 95 years of great service to our veterans and to our communities and our nation,” he said. Dellinger is pragmatic about his duties as national

“We are here to help,” he said. “They are going to need jobs. They are going to need people to assist them with integration back into civilian life. We need to be there for our vets.”

Last year, the American Legion co-sponsored 295 job fairs and untold others that Dellinger said he was not aware of. ➤ Leader, Page 6

DeKalb Eastern adding online access BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The DeKalb Eastern Schools board approved launching a portal that will give students and faculty access to online educational materials away from the school building. That measure was adopted at the board’s Nov. 18 meeting. The board approved a contract with Washington

state-based 3W Education Consulting Group to install the online portal that will be open for students — current and non-traditional — to access educational materials. It also will allow teachers to see what the students are accessing, DeKalb Eastern Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens explained. Stephens and district treasurer Phil Carpenter visited the 3W

campus recently to learn about the system. Stephens told the board 3W will roll out a pilot program of the online portal for one or two students in grades 4-8, hopefully by February. The district’s goal is to have the portal fully released to all students by August, Stephens said. The district also learned IMPACT Institute director Tim Holcomb will retire June 30, and

Eastside girls better in NECC loss BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — It wasn’t a victory, but Eastside coach Shane Conwell liked the improvement his players showed from game one to game two. Friday, the Angola Hornets held a 15-point lead in the third quarter, but the Blazers whittled that to just eight with 5:41 left in the game. That’s when the Hornets caught fire, embarking on a 13-0 run on the way to a 62-42 Northeast Corner Conference win. Alexis Scott’s two-pointer on the next Angola possession got the roll started. Abby Buchs hit two three-pointers, and Claire Grubb added a three of her own, plus a steal and bucket. Kaitlyn Brandt capped the run with a bucket with 3:17 to play, making it 57-34. Eastside couldn’t match that firepower, missing on four of its next possessions and turning the ball over on two others. The Blazers finished 13-of-44 (30 percent) from the field and just 4-of-15 (27 percent) from three-point range. Grubb led all scorers with 24 points. Abby Buchs also reached double figures with 11, while Scott and Tana Willibey chipped in with

Maddy Minehart had 12 points to go with 17 rebounds to pace Eastside (0-2 overall, 0-1 in the NECC). Kaci Shook added 10 points. As the game wore on, Angola did a better job of getting second and

third-chance opportunities, and made the most of them. While the Hornets were just 24-of-72 (33 percent) from the field and 9-of-28 (32 percent) from three-point range, it was a risky proposition for the Blazers. “You can’t let a team like that shoot (70-plus shots),” Conwell said. “Eventu-

ally, they’re going to start knocking them down, and that’s what happened when they pulled away. “Being down less than 10 in the fourth quarter, I’ll take that improvement,” he said after his team lost its season-opening game 90-34 to East Noble Nov. 16. “I was proud of the way

the girls came out from the get-go. “Maddy played well and Kaci was aggressive,” Conwell said. “We got to the free throw line 23 times, and I like that.” “We can score in a hurry when we settle down and run our offense, that’s for sure,” said Angola coach

John Berger. “It was an ugly, ugly night, and Eastside did a good job of hanging in there. “They caused us to rush,” he said. “We weren’t clearing off the boards very well. They kept hanging around and hanging around. It was good to see us hit some shots in the fourth quarter.” The Hornets led 26-17 at the break, and pushed their advantage to 36-21 following Grubb’s slashing drive to the basket with five minutes left in the third. The Blazers ran off the next five points late in the third, and outscored Angola 7-2 early in the fourth to draw within eight. The next step is up to the players, Conwell said. “Are they OK with being OK, or are we going to go get a couple of wins now?” he wondered. “If we play like we did tonight, we’re going to give some teams a run.”

Angola JV 35, Eastside 19 Anna Fuller had 12 points and Alexis Smith added 10 to lead Angola. Hannah Yoder scored six points and Casey Whitman added five for Eastside. Bethany Malcolm added four points. Vanessa Deck and Emma Moughler had two each.

PUBLIC NOTICE This notice is to the customers served by the Butler Wastewater Department and to the citizens of DeKalb County, Indiana, per requirements of the City of Butler's NPDES Permit and 327 IAC 5-3.5-4(c). Butler's NPDES Permit, Part I.A.3-Table 4, effective September 1, 2011 and expiring on August 31, 2016, contains interim and final effluent limits for mercury as illustrated in the following. Table 1 - NPDES Permit Requirements Quantity / Loading Units Quality / Concentration Units Monitoring Requirements Mercury Monthly Daily Monthly Daily Measurement Sample Average Maximum Average Maximum Frequency Type Interim Report lbs/day Report ng/L 6 X Annually Grab Final 0.000022 0.000053 lbs/day 1.3 3.2 ng/L 6 X Annually Grab The Permit, Part I.A.4.a - Table 5, also requires that the influent wastewater be sampled for mercury at the same frequency as the effluent. The permit requires that mercury in the influent and effluent be sampled in February, April, June, August, October and December of each year. Butler's previous permit, effective October 1, 2005, contained interim effluent limit and influent monitoring requirements of parameter measurement six times annually and report only. Accordingly, Butler has been collecting influent and effluent mercury data for NPDES Permit compliance purposes since October 2005. In fact, Butler initiated mercury data collection in anticipation of the permit requirements in November 2003. Thus, Butler has several years of influent and effluent data to support the observations, conclusions and recommendations in this document. In addition to the influent and effluent wastewater data, Butler also collected data for mercury in the receiving stream (Big Run Ditch). (1) Name of Applicant City of Butler, Wastewater Department, 695 East Green Street, Butler, IN 46721 (2) Purpose of Pollutant Minimization Program Plan The PMPP is to reduce, if possible, sources of mercury into the Butler wastewater system. (3) Description of the activities or operations that result in the discharge for which an SMV is being requested: There are no known or identified significant sources that discharge mercury into the Butler wastewater system. The Butler WWTP effluent averages less than 1.5 nanograms per liter (ng/L) of mercury and can meet the proposed final daily maximum effluent limit (3.2 ng/L) about 90% of the time. The average daily maximum also calculates as the monthly average since only one (1) grab sample is collected once every other month. This means that the proposed final monthly average effluent limit would only be met about 50% of the time. The data collected since 2005 also indicates that the state water quality standard for mercury (1.3 ng/L) is met less than 10% of the time in the receiving stream (Big Run Ditch) upstream and downstream of the Butler Wastewater Treatment plant effluent discharge point. The data further indicates that there is no negative effect of the Butler effluent discharge on the mercury concentration in the Big Run Ditch. (4) Purpose of this notice and the comment procedures This notice is to allow citizens and potentially affected parties the opportunity to provide comment on the Butler Pollutant Management Plan (PMPP) for Mercury. (5) Contact person, mailing address / internet address and telephone number where interested persons may obtain additional information and a copy of the PMPP: Contact: Ted Miller or Brian Moore at the Butler WWTP, 695 East Green Street, Butler, IN 46721 E-Mail: tedwwtp@butler.in.us or brianwwtp@butler.in.us Phone: 260-868-2805 Copies of the PMPP are available at: 1.Butler City Hall / Utility Office (between 9 AM and 3 PM), 215 South Broadway, Butler, IN 46721 2.

One driver hurt in wreck BUTLER — One driver suffered injuries in a crash at 9:08 p.m. Nov. 21 at the intersection of C.R. 40 and C.R. 61, southwest of Butler, DeKalb County Police reported. Shane F. Stallard, 39, of C.R. 59-A, Spencerville, had pain in his lower back and neck after the crash. A DeKalb EMS ambulance took him to a local hospital for treatment.

Police said Stallard was driving north on C.R. 61 in a 2006 Chevrolet sport-utility vehicle. Richard L. Malcolm, 78, of C.R. 71, Butler, was traveling east on C.R. 40 in a 2007 Mercury and did not stop at C.R. 61. The front of Malcolm’s car hit Stallard’s vehicle in the driver’s side. The impact sent Malcolm’s car into a field on the northeast corner of the intersection, and Stallard’s vehicle went into a ditch, also on the northeast side of the intersection.

Reddy Kilowatt passing them down for reserve and even junior high teams to use. In the beginning, Eastside recycled some uniforms used by Butler and Riverdale athletes until new ones could be purchased. Eastern DeKalb County schools have had a colorful history. The St. Joe Tigers were orange and black and the Spencerville Red Raiders were red and white. When those schools went together with Newville Township in the 1950s, Riverdale’s colors were green and gray. In addition to green and gold, Windmill teams also wore combinations of red, gold and black, often in the “Gamemaster” brand, made in Butler by the Marshall Clothing Manufacturing Co. Eastside’s “Sparky” basketball warm-ups were made by Marshall Clothing. The green-and-white Blazers have provided plenty of excitement since then.

Butler driver reports hit-and-run accident BUTLER — Butler Police were unable to locate the driver of a semi-trailer after it ran into the rear of a Butler woman’s car at 3:56 p.m. Nov. 19. Police said Barbara A. Haines, 47, of the 200 block of West Main Street, Butler, said she was traveling west on Main Street, waiting for the traffic light to change, when she was struck from behind by a semi. That driver continued west on U.S. 6. Police estimated damage to Haines’ 2008 Toyota to be less than $1,000.

Leader from Page 1 “We are responsible for our veterans. That’s where membership comes into play. We have the numbers — 4 million members. It is important to tell them who we are and what we do,” he said. That includes consolidated post reporting, including the number of funerals, programs for youth, children and veterans. “Those are things we need to document,” he said. Dellinger said he estimated 220,000 men and women were assisted through various programs such as scholarships, school awards, Boys and Girls State, and many other projects, with $22 million in support. The statistics account for only 57 percent of all posts, because the rest did not file reports, he said. “Politics has replaced patriotism in this country — this is not a healthy sign, as far as I know, but we, the American Legion, the largest veterans organization, need to make sure that Washington is well aware that they need to take care

of our veterans,” Dellinger said. He shared hardships many faced during the recent government shutdown and spoke of a news conference he held in front of the World War II memorial in Washington. A reporter asked him who was to blame for the situation. “I don’t blame right or left, but I blame the House, Senate and the president for not carrying out the duties they were sent to Washington to do,” he responded. “As the chief spokesman for the Legion, it is what we do in our communities, it is what we do to take care of our veterans that keeps us on the right path,” Dellinger said. Dellinger’s commander project for the year is the National Emergency Fund. Last year, the Legion gave more than $750,000 in grants to help veterans and their families through natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, wildfires and floods. “It’s not whether these

natural disasters will happen, it is the where and when” with recent weather anomalies, he added. His goal is to raise $1 million this year, “less than 50 cents per head,” he said of the Legion membership. “We can do that because we, the American Legion, will be there for our veterans and their families in time of need,” he added. Dellinger said he is not worried about membership rolls, but with assisting veterans who need help with jobs, medical assistance and education. He was not active in the Legion until later in his career. One day, Vietnam veterans and older veterans will recognize the importance of the Legion and will have the time in their lives to become involved, he said. Dellinger thanked all the veterans for what they do. “Because you continue to serve, even though you are out of uniform, you still serve every day,” he said. “Every day should be Veterans Day.”
