GOOD MORNING Great Lakes cleanup funded by Congress TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A spending bill crafted by congressional leaders would allocate $300 million to a Great Lakes cleanup that had been threatened with a massive cut during last year’s budget fight, supporters said Tuesday. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is a program dealing with some of the lakes’ most serious environmental problems such as invasive species, loss of wetlands and other wildlife habitat, toxic pollution and runoff that causes algae blooms. It has gotten around $300 million in most years since funding began in 2010. But last year, a House subcommittee proposed slashing the 2014 allocation to just $60 million — an 80 percent cut that Great Lakes advocates said would gut the program, which has bipartisan support in Congress.

Angola Common Councilman Dave Martin, standing, talks about a proposed food and beverage tax with the Steuben County Council on Tuesday morning. Most agreed that if a food

and beverage tax were implemented, it should be fairly distributed among government units in the county.

Food tax on the table Officials discuss how to spread bounty if bill passes BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Officials from throughout Steuben County agreed that adding a new tax might not be palatable but might be necessary with a possible elimination of the business personal property tax in Indiana that’s pending before the Legislature. Served up at a meeting of the Steuben County Council

was discussion of the food and beverage tax, something that’s currently an option available locally. At the same time, Angola is included in pending legislation that would create food and beverage taxes for a number of municipalities. Rick Shipe, president of the County Council, said in Tuesday’s meeting if the tax is enacted, the distribution of the receipts should

be fairly distributed between the county and municipalities, a point shared by many. “It’s got to be equitable for all the towns and the county,” said Brent Shull, Hamilton town manager. On the table in the Legislature is a bill that would allow Angola and about a dozen other cities to enact a local, 1 percent food and

Pence tries to sell 2014 agenda INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Gov. Mike Pence held close to a carefully scripted message for 2014 during his second State of the State address, prodding lawmakers for a business tax cut and education items while asking them to take action on a controversial marriage amendment this year. Pence offered little in the way of new details Tuesday, sticking to what has become a defining hands-off approach with lawmakers and his legislative agenda. Instead, he asked them for a second year largely focused on continuing the same strategy of cutting taxes and expanding sweeping education changes. “We’ve made progress in jobs and schools, but with still too many Hoosiers out of work,” Pence said. “With our state lagging behind in per capita income and health and too many kids in underperforming schools, I believe we must remain relentless,

bold and ambitious to keep our state moving forward.” Although Pence left a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage out of his formal agenda, he asked lawmakers to put the issue to rest in 2014. “Let’s have a debate worthy of our people with civility and respect. Let’s protect the rights of Hoosier employers to hire who they want and provide them with benefits that they earn. And

HAMILTON — Hamilton Junior-Senior High School principal Christy Haupert will leave her position at the end of the school year, school district officials said Monday. The school board accepted Haupert’s resignation at its meeting Monday night. It is effective June 30, 2014 — the end of Haupert’s two-year contract. Superintendent Jon Willman would not comment on Haupert’s resignation, saying the district does not discuss personnel matters. Willman said it is “her desire” to resign. Haupert usually attends board meetings, but was not present Monday night. The school board hired Haupert in July 2012. It completed a restructuring of the administration that saw former K-12 principal Barbara Weber reassigned as elementary principal and the hiring of current Athletics Director and Assistant Principal Jesse Webb.

then let’s resolve this issue this year once and for all,” he said, to applause from the assembled lawmakers, a majority of whom are Republicans. Pence spoke before a joint session of House and Senate members held in the House chamber.

Cameron hires fund director

ANGOLA — Kevin Jones of Angola has been named the new fund development director for the Cameron Hospital Foundation, it was announced Tuesday in a Cameron Memorial Community Hospital news release. Jones began work Jan. 8. Jones will direct and oversee all the fundraising activities of the Cameron Jones Foundation. He will work with the foundation executive director to establish a comprehensive fundraising campaign and set both annual and project goals. “We are very happy to have Kevin join the Cameron team,” said Laura Lutterbeck, Cameron Foundation executive director. “He brings a wealth of experience, which will help us move forward as we plan for the future.” Jones comes to Cameron with more than 12 years of experience in planning, executing and overseeing major gifts, planned giving and capital campaigns. “This is an exciting time at Cameron, and I am happy to be a part of a vital team that is not only building a new hospital, but bringing updated healthcare to the people of Steuben County and beyond,” said Jones. “Involving the community and securing their support is a challenge I welcome.” Jones and his wife Kasey live with their son in Angola.

Air board readies to submit capital plan BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — Despite the Tri-State Steuben County Airport’s $1.6 million hangar-terminal project in 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration wants to see more capital improvements. In fact, the FAA encourages it and requires airports to write a five-year capital campaign plan. The Steuben County Board of Aviation Commissioners discussed the required plan at Tuesday’s meeting. Mike Evans, project manager with consulting firm Woolpert, Indianapolis, informed the board

the plan’s draft is due Feb. 3. “You don’t get to do one project and stop,” he said. “You’re part of a national air system. This is an industry and a transportation hub.” Evans said some of the board’s priorities are: • Two construction projects: small crack repair and rehabilitation of 30-year-old pavement around the west T-hangar. • More taxi-way lighting. Evans said the FAA doesn’t require it. • A perimeter wildlife fence. The airport has not been given a date when it’s required to be installed. The FAA has established

fence requirements, but has not mentioned financing. “The FAA says the airport has a wildlife problem,” Evans said. “The FAA is very concerned about wildlife strikes. It doesn’t take much to destroy a $1 million airplane.” Discussion turned to building a community T-hangar. Dr. R. Wyatt Weaver Jr., chair of the aviation board, said it would be a matter of financing and other factors. “We don’t want to be a landlord,” he said. The board also discussed leasing airport property to corporate entities. A certain area of the property along the apron

allows for it. Weaver said one company is interested in locating a demonstration lab on or next to airport property. That company strips airplanes without any damage to aluminum. Weaver said the airport property would be convenient and serve aviation customers near U.S. 20. “Nothing is set in stone,” Evans said. “This is their road map. You have to maintain your CIP to keep yourself in good graces.” The board will revisit writing the plan at a future meeting. Once the plan is written, it will SEE AIR BOARD, PAGE A3

Area man runs for Congress KENDALLVILLE — Justin Kuhnle of Kendallville says he will run for Congress on the Democratic ticket in the May 6 primary election. Kuhnle said the central focus of his campaign will be creating an atmosphere for job growth, investing in education and developing the skills of workers to compete on a global scale. He is seeking Kuhnle the 3rd District seat in Congress, representing northeast Indiana and currently held by Republican Marlin Stutzman of Howe. The district takes in all or part of 12 counties, including all of DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben. “I will dedicate my service, as an elected representative, to showing poise in standing up for citizens’ rights, for quality education, a robust workforce and expansions of our economy and jobs,” Kuhnle said in a news release announcing his campaign. “I will work for eliminating government waste and for responsible spending of our tax dollars.” Kuhnle also ran in the Democratic primary for Congress in 2012, finishing fourth in a six-man race won by Kevin Boyd, who then lost to Stutzman. Kuhnle has worked for the past six years as a case manager for mentally ill and intellectually disabled patients. He was employed by Park Center in Fort Wayne from November 2007 through February 2013 and by the Bowen Center in Albion from February through November 2013. In December, he joined with IPMG, based in West Lafayette. He previously held management positions in retail and with Kitty Hawk.

Kuhnle returned to school in 2007, studying at Ivy Tech and Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, majoring in psychology and human services. He said it was through his psychology classes that he began his career as a case manager with Park Center, Bowen Center and now IPMG. Kuhnle was born and raised in Decatur, where he attended Saint Joseph Catholic School through the eighth grade and graduated from Bellmont High School. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus. In 2013, he married his wife, Beth, who teaches third grade at Prairie Heights Elementary School.

Raging bull Firefighters charged by rodeo bull, destroy animal BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — An escaped rodeo bull charged members of the Kendallville Fire Department on a frozen lake surface before it was killed Monday, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said. Noble County E-911 Dispatch received calls starting about 5:25 p.m. that an animal described as a rodeo bull with large horns was loose. The animal had freed itself from a pen as it was being readied for transport from a location on C.R. 1000N, west of S.R. 3. According to Noble County E-911 dispatch reports, bull owner Kolton Bode said he was trying to load the bull into a trailer when it got loose. The animal was spotted on S.R. 3 one-half mile north C.R. 1000N. Emergency personnel, including Kendallville firefighters, were called to the area. Firefighters were the first to arrive. Firefighters found the bull on frozen Cree Lake as they approached from Cree Lake Drive South. The bull was walking east. Firefighters tried to guide the bull, but it began to charge at them, then walked and ran east into wooded areas. “We got the call as a cow on the ice on Cree Lake,” said Kendallville Fire Chief

beverage tax. Should the county want the tax, also, the bill would revert to a law currently on the books. Angola Common Councilman Dave Martin, speaking on behalf of the city, said Angola wanted to enact the tax in the event the city ever wanted to put it in place. He said the city was working “behind the scenes” in Indianapolis to get the bill changed so all municipalities in Steuben County could have the option of enacting the tax. “At this time, the city of Angola doesn’t have any plans on implementing this tax if it were to get approved,” Martin said. In December, Angola Mayor Dick Hickman said a new law would give Angola control over its destiny, whereas the city has to

rely on the county to enact the current law that’s on the books, and that hasn’t happened in more than 5 years. In 2008 a food and beverage tax for Steuben County was passed but because the County Council hasn’t approved an adopting measure the tax has not been enacted. Under that law, the food and beverage tax would tax all restaurants in the county and the money would be split equally between Angola and Steuben County. “We are not going to sign a bill that cuts out all of the cities and towns,” County Councilwoman Linda Hansen said. When that tax passed in 2008, officials from towns voiced their disapproval over only Angola and Steuben County sharing the revenue. “That’s why I guess I

SPEECH: Democratic says Pence short on solving problems emotional testimony on the issue. Lawmakers first approved the proposed constitutional ban in 2011. It must pass again this year to be put to voters in November. If lawmakers don’t act, the process of amending the constitution would start from scratch. House Minority Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, said Pence had a chance to “douse the flames” on the gay marriage debate, but did not. Instead, Pelath said, the governor seemed more concerned about protecting his political career — noting the marriage issue could cloud his chances if it shows up with him on a potential 2016 ballot. “He wants finality before the 2016 election. That’s what he really means,” he said. Pelath criticized Pence for offering “small, symbolic solutions” to real problems such as low wages and unemployment. “Mike Pence believes a governor should do very little, and he’s succeeding,” Pelath said after the speech. “His solutions are simply not equal to the tasks ahead.” Pence asked lawmakers to support his plans to phase out the state’s business personal property tax, expand charter schools, launch a new scholarship program allowing low-income children to attend preschool and create a tax credit to promote adoption. The General Assembly’s top Republicans — House Speaker Brian Bosma and

Senate President Pro Tem David Long — sung the governor’s praises during a news conference following the speech. Both oversee supermajorities of Republicans in their respective chambers. “It was confirmation for my team that we have a lot of the same goals,” Bosma said. “Really all of us have the same goals. But we’re pointed in the same direction on some of those solutions as well, with road funding and focus on early childhood education, continued smart tax reform and worker training.” Pence made no direct mention of the tensions this past fall involving Democratic schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz, his office and the members of the State Board of Education. Instead he thanked Ritz and the board members and led a standing ovation for Ritz. But in describing the state’s educational gains, he noted, “Working together, we’ve accomplished a lot.” He emphasized that cooperative spirit again as he closed with the story of Nathan Woessner, a 6-yearold who was pulled safely from a Lake Michigan sand dune last summer after hours of furious digging by roughly 140 people. Pence noted that when he called the boy’s father at the hospital, Gary Woessner referred to Nathan’s rescue as “everyone’s miracle.” “We are strong people and good people, but we are never stronger than when we work together,” he said.

question the distribution of the tax,” Shipe said. The big concern was replacing revenue should the Legislature phase out the business personal property tax. That could take away about 20 percent of Angola’s budget, it has been estimated. For Hudson, it would be a painful 60 percent while Fremont would sustain a 40 percent blow. “I don’t think that until it’s necessary that we pass any tax,” said County Councilman Dan Caruso. Before the 2008 bill, food and beverage taxes were project specific in their use of funds generated. The 2008 bill was the first to allow the funds to be used for a much broader scope, on such things as roads and sidewalks and a variety of other government uses, except personnel.

Mike Riehm. “While on my way I learned it was a rodeo bull.“ The bull didn’t want any part of people, according to Riehm. “He was mean. He wouldn’t let anyone get close. We were 50 to 60 yards from him when he charged us and we ran.” The sheriff’s department and firefighters set up a perimeter to find the bull. The Noble County Emergency Management Agency contacted Black Pine Animal Sanctuary to try to set a tranquilizer for the bull. The bull wasn’t seen again until about 7 p.m., when firefighters saw it crossing C.R. 900E north of C.R. 1000N. It continued north through a snow-covered field. Deputies began to track the bull. The owner felt it necessary to have the bull put down due to its aggressive behavior, the length of the tracking and the time of night, the sheriff’s department said. After tracking the bull through multiple fields and wooded areas, search teams found it again south of C.R. 1125N in a field west of C.R. 1000E. Attempts to get close were negated either by the bull’s aggressive behavior or because it ran from people. The animal was put down at about 7:45 p.m., the sheriff’s department said.

You can help stop the cycle of violence BY ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ

This can have a happy ending but it often doesn’t. I’m referring to the difficulties an adult has after an abusive childhood, and the things they go through along the way. A deeply unhappy child may curl up in a ball and hug an animal to them for comfort. They may grow into a compassionate caring adult who would rather run naked through last week’s freezing weather than harm another living thing, their own child or an animal. They may also lash back at the world and begin harming others during their own unhappy childhood. Adults who took this second route as a child will likely accelerate once they achieve the freedoms of adulthood. These are the adults who strike their spouses, intimidate for pleasure, bully their co-workers, lie with ease, hurt their children with words and weapons, molest their children, and may do it all with such guile and ease that they can give the appearance of a perfect family from the outside. You think you’d know who these people are, but you don’t always. There are very few adults who behave in these bullying, despicable manners that did not get their start in childhood. One does not suddenly turn into a bully if they weren’t practicing before. Why does this ugly topic belong in a New Year’s column about animals? It’s a new year and we always have a chance to stop the cycle of violence. Our dependent animals are the practice victims of this kind of person. They are often the first ones to be hurt in domestic violence, and may be abused in order to show what might be done to the spouse and kids if they don’t give in to the tyranny. Where there is domestic violence there is often animal abuse. If you don’t think I’m right, ask any police officer or humane society shelter staff or board member. Every month we hear new stories, and see the physical evidence on the bodies of the animals. Abuse, neglect, cruelty and indifference that would make you cry. They make us cry. We hate it. Some of our Steuben County Humane Society meeting agendas have profoundly sad topics. That’s one reason why we work so hard to have a community shelter. Last year we had a dog who had her ears clipped off and toenails pulled out and was repeatedly burned with a lighter. All this, by a northeastern Indiana child not yet a teenager. There had to be howling, odor of burning flesh and fur, and blood during this, and yet no one in the family stopped the child. The neighbor had seen hitting in the yard

Lady is a very beautiful, soft-coated cat who was found as a stray. She is black and white and acts very much like a lady. The shelter employees think Lady may

want to be a nurse when she grows up, she is always trying to get in to visit the kitties in the sick room.

Daisy Mae was brought to the shelter as a stray feral cat. She was left in a cage and all the shelter workers could do is drop some food and water in to her. One day she accidently got out of her cage and was loose in the office. She was bounching off the walls, shelter workers

said. She soon learned to get along with other cats and dogs. She has since then became pretty tame toward people. She enjoys being petted and meows when she wants food but still gets a little nervous when she is picked up. She must go to a home with older children.

Romeo is aptly named, he is quite the lover boy. “Your heart would have to be made of Teflon for him not to stick to it,” says his description on the Steuben County Humane Society web site, where all available animals are listed. “He’d love a retirement home with someone who can give him the attention he deserves.”

and had been concerned but when they found the dog dangling from the picket fence struggling and slowly choking as the child who hung the dog played nearby, they hauled the dog to their side of the fence, provided first aid, and called the authorities. We got the dog and we eventually learned that what had been happening to the child for many years was as bad, and I’ll leave it at that, as this is not a column about the horrors of generational child abuse and molestation. This unfortunate child had grown up enough to pay someone back, and the dog got it. When you see temper, anger, hitting, verbal abuse,

workplace or domestic bullying, manipulation and uncontrolled negative emotions, look for animal abuse. When you see domestic violence the family pets are often victims as well. Our Steuben County law enforcement, the sheriffs, township officers and city police forces and courts, have taken a stand against domestic violence. Officers have had special training in how to recognize and stop animal abuse, and our shelter works with them as needed. No one wants to get dragged into another family’s mess, and you can report suspicions without getting involved. Your

phone call is not evidence and there must be evidence for a case to proceed, so don’t think it’s your doing if someone ends up in a legal situation after you alert law enforcement. The officers will investigate based on a call, and will take action only if they see evidence. This may be as mild as talking with ongoing monitoring, or as strong as arrests, putting children into a protected environment and calling the shelter to accept an animal at risk. Has there been a several month period in our nation’s news without some episode of public insanity or ghastly private violence? Not since I can remember. These adults used to be children and the

chances of them not having a history of secret violence toward animals, and other fragile victims, is slim. Are you interfering if you report suspicions or keep an eye on a situation? No. You may be shining a light where it needs shone. If we can prevent domestic violence and the abuse of our children, we can reduce violence toward helpless animals. If you can have a role in one less adult who will grow up harboring such rage in their hearts that it bursts out onto our unsuspecting populace or explodes in their own homes, you’ve done a good thing. If you see animal abuse, keep looking for other bad behavior. If you see bad behavior,

.EW 9EAR S

look for animal abuse. If you know a person who bullies or has anger in their heart and they say they don’t need or want a pet, leave it alone — you’ve done some animal a favor. If you see an abused child check out their relationship with animals. It may be one of compassion and tenderness where they turn to the animal to sooth and comfort their wounded souls. It might also be one of passing it on, of honing their skills to pay the world back. Our world can do with fewer people bent on venting their frustrations. ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ is

a member of the Steuben County Humane Society Board of Directors.

THE EXPERT

Board president Scott Lucas said by accepting the resignation, the school district now can advertise for applicants for the position. Also Monday, the board held its annual reorganization meeting, and each current officer was re-elected. Lucas will serve as president, Robert Gaff as vice president and Lee Stoy as secretary. The board also: • approved the 2014-2015 school calendar, which mirrors the 2013-2014 version. The first day of school will be Aug. 13,

2014, with May 27, 2015, set as the final day of the school year. • learned the district has applied to the state for a waiver to avoid making up the first two days lost during last week’s winter storm. • transferred $200,000 from the transportation fund and $300,000 from the general fund to the rainy day fund to prepare for a “worst-case scenario” if the state Legislature eliminates the business personal property tax. Willman said frugal handling of the funds and the successful 2012

property-tax referendum will allow the district to continue operating. • hired Jerry Shull as head varsity baseball coach at a salary of $2,543. • approved maternity leave for Angela Coles. • approved an out-of-state field trip to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago for 18 students on Feb. 14. • accepted a $100 donation from First Federal Savings Bank for the district’s playground project. • reassigned functional skills aide Minde Raney to the position of regular aide.

Eager to return to regular schedule ANGOLA — We just have to get up and go after last week’s activity was stopped pretty much by the big snowstorm and the bitter cold. Winter sports teams couldn’t even practice with school being out. I would think the only teams not fazed all that much by what happened last week were the Angola swim teams because of their unusual break in schedule. The Hornet boys have exactly a month between meets while the Angola girls have a little over a month between meets. Gymnastics was a little sidetracked by the poor weather. That started for the county last night with Angola and Prairie Heights individual Sami Rinard traveling to Wawasee. Seven of our eight high school basketball teams got a game under

their belts over the weekend prior to the Northeast Corner Conference Tournament, which began on Tuesday with first-round games. The Hamilton boys play at Fremont on Tuesday in their first game since Dec. 23, which was a makeup MAKING game at Fremont PLAYS that they lost 83-51. While most Ken Fillmore teams want to at least gain some positives that will help them toward the future, some have loftier goals where surviving for most of the week is at the very least of higher expectations.

the first couple of rounds. Let’s go to the Steuben County Athletes of the Week. They are basketball players: Prairie Heights junior Jacob Heller for the high school boys, Angola senior forward Alexis Scott for the prep girls and sophomore forward Jared Holmquist from Trine University. Heller became the eighth Prairie Heights High basketball player regardless of gender to score 1,000 career points on Friday in a home game against Angola. He had 13 points, eight rebounds, five assists and a blocked shot to lead the Panthers to a 50-38 victory over the Hornets. Scott might be more of an outside of the box pick. But she was relegated to coming off the bench Friday at PH and handled it in a positive way by having one

of her most productive games in a long while with 10 points and four rebounds in a 60-46 Hornet victory. Holmquist had 40 points, 15 rebounds, and four blocked shots last week as the Thunder went 1-1 in their first two Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association games of the season. The 6-foot-4 Reed City, Mich., native shot 65 percent from the floor (13-20) and made 13-of-16 free throws. The latest Hannah Holstein-Heavenly Breads & Sweets Basketball Contest was a wild one.

Pacers pummel Sacramento UM downs Lions INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George scored 31 points, making four 3-pointers, to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 116-92 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. David West had 16 points and eight rebounds, and Lance Stephenson added 13 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Pacers (30-7), who have won five of six. The victory clinched the Eastern Conference coaching spot for Frank Vogel, since the Pacers are guaranteed to have the best winning percentage in the conference through games of Feb. 2 with Miami’s Erik Spoelstra ineligible after coaching last year. DeMarcus Cousins had 31 points and 13 rebounds, and Rudy Gay scored 12 points for the Kings (13-23), who scored under 100 points for the first time in 12 games. George was fouled driving to the basket with 8:36 remaining and converted the three-point play before Luis Scola made a free throw to cap off a 16-2 run early in the fourth quarter. The NBA’s top defensive team had little trouble against a Sacramento team that scored over 100 points in 18 of the previous 19 games. Cousins scored 12 points in the first half before breaking away with 19 third-quarter points. He

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Nik Stauskas scored 13 of his 21 points in the second half, and Michigan remained unbeaten in Big Ten play with an 80-67 victory over Penn State on Tuesday night.

Derrick Walton added 16 points for the Wolverines, and Glenn Robinson III scored 15. D.J. Newbill and Tim Frazier scored 17 points apiece for Penn State (9-9, 0-5), but those two backcourt standouts weren’t enough against a balanced Michigan team.

Fremont’s Miranda White (42) shoots over Hamilton’s Lindsay Upp in a first-round girls basketball game of the NECC Tournament Tuesday at Fremont.

Fremont pressed more than it normally does and forced 32 Marine turnovers. “We know they’ve struggled ballhandling, but we have to do what we can to take advantage of it,” Eagles coach Neal Frantz said. “We didn’t start well, but Hamilton did some things defensively to slow us down a little bit. We’ve been searching for a rotation, and I think we have a seven-player rotation down.” Sophomore Shae Rhonehouse had 21 points, seven rebounds, four blocked shots and four steals to lead Fremont. Miranda White had nine points, seven steals, six rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots. “Miranda has struggled shooting the last couple of

games. But that does not mean she is not incredibly valuable to us,” Frantz said. “She’s playing great defense and is hustling and talking all the time. Post players Lexus Lyon and Melissa Beer each had eight points. Lyon, a 5-foot-9 freshman who has only been with the varsity for a few days, also had four steals. Marines coach Mark Stiver thinks his team can compete for a sectional title. But it is going to take time for Hamilton to get healthy. It had to back out of the Northridge Bankers Classic between the holidays because it had five players hurt or six and three others on vacation. Top player Lindsay Upp has missed a couple of games due to injury.

The actual winner was Dorothy Anstett of Pleasant Lake. She picked 13 out of 18 games right (Two games were wiped out by weather postponements). But Dorothy has already won the weekly prize within the past 30 days. Next came a five-way tie for second place with 12 that included Hammel, Hamilton’s Mike Emerick and Angola residents Mike Bechdol, David Lewellyn and Mary Tierney.

were equally close to 87. Tierney’s 82 was a little further off. Emerick’s 98 and Lewellyn’s 107 was further away. If the second tiebreaker came into play, Bechdol would win because his 86 was closest to the second highest score of 84 by Iowa than Hammel’s 80 was. But that tiebreaker did not come into play because Bechdol has also won the weekly prize within the last 30 days. So the latest weekly prize went to Hammel.

Girls Game Fremont 58, Hamilton 26 It was close for the first quarter and a half in a contest that was turnoverridden with post players in major foul trouble. The Eagles separated themselves late in the second quarter, then used their defense to get a quick burst which extended the lead further early in the third quarter. Fremont only led 9-7 after one quarter, then built up the advantage to 21-12 at the half and 44-19 after three quarters. The Eagles (8-5) will play Central Noble (4-7) today at 6 p.m. in a quarterfinal game at Eastside. The Marines (2-7) will play a consolation game to be determined on Thursday. The Cougars advanced to round two with a 42-29 win at Eastside on Tuesday. Hamilton had two of its top two players out because of injuries. Senior guard Taylor Merritt, arguably the team’s best ballhandler and defender, suffered a torn ligament in a knee in the Marines’ home win over Lakeland Christian Dec. 7. Sophomore guard Katelyn Wilson, who is typically Hamilton’s first player off the bench, was also out Tuesday. Stiver said Merritt is expected to be back in 2 1/2 weeks.

With the Wolverines ahead by only two, Stauskas connected from beyond the arc to make it 50-45. Newbill answered with a jumper, but Michigan scored the next nine points, including a three-point play by Caris LeVert and an alley-oop dunk by Robinson from LeVert that made it 59-47. Walton, a freshman, has been gaining confidence after taking over the point guard duties when Trey Burke went to the NBA. Walton made a big driving layup at the end of Michigan’s win at Nebraska last week, and he scored the first eight points of Tuesday’s game on two 3-pointers and a layup.

MIDDLEBURY — Angola’s Tri-State Gymnastics team won four all-around championships and 22 event titles at the Inspire Classic Saturday and Sunday.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Lions hire ex-Colts coach Jim Caldwell ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions said Tuesday that Jim Caldwell has been hired as the new coach and will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday. San Diego Chargers assistant and former Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt was seemingly Detroit’s top choice, but he chose to take the head coaching job at Tennessee on Monday night. The Lions are giving Caldwell another chance to be an NFL head coach. He helped the Indianapolis Colts reach the Super Bowl after his debut season in 2009, but was fired two years later after a 2-14 season while Peyton Caldwell Manning was injured, dropping his three-year mark to 26-22. Caldwell was hired by Baltimore two years ago to be their quarterbacks coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator late in the 2012 season. The Ravens went on to win the last Super Bowl. Caldwell won his first 14 games with the Colts in 2009 before losing the final two games of the regular season while resting Manning and most of the other starters. The Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Indy was 10-6 the following season and won another AFC South title, then lost to the New York Jets in a wild-card game. With Manning out for all of Caldwell’s third season, the Colts lost 14 games and Caldwell lost his job. In Baltimore, Caldwell replaced offensive coordinator Cam Cameron toward the end of the 2012 regular season and he seemed to give the offense a boost as it went on to win the Super Bowl against San Francisco. Helping the Lions win one playoff game would be a relative feat: Detroit has only one playoff victory — more than two decades ago — since winning the 1957 NFL title. Caldwell, who won two playoff games in his first season with the Colts, will be counted on to use his experience with quarterbacks to make Matthew Stafford better. Detroit drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and after two injury-shortened seasons, he has been spectacular at times and shaky at others.

Mark Whipple hired again as UMass football coach AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The University of Massachusetts has hired Mark Whipple as its football coach. He returns to the school he coached from 1998 through 2003 and led to the Division I-AA national championship in his first season. UMass moved to the top level of college football when it joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2012. But the Minutemen went 1-11 in each of their two seasons under Charley Molnar. He was fired Dec. 26. After leaving UMass, the 56-year-old Whipple worked as quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2004-06, offensive assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008, offensive coordinator at the University of Miami from 2009-10 and quarterbacks coach with the Cleveland Browns from 2011-12. He did not coach last year.

2B Brian Roberts, Yanks finalize $2 million deal NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Roberts and the New York Yankees have completed their $2 million, one-year contract, a deal that allows the second baseman to earn $4.6 million if he becomes a regular starter. The contract was agreed to on Dec. 17 and finalized Tuesday, three days after a spot on the 40-man roster opened when Alex Rodriguez was suspended for the season for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract. The 36-year-old Roberts, an All-Star in 2005 and 2007, is an option to replace Robinson Cano, who signed with Seattle. Roberts, who had spent his entire 13-year major league career with Baltimore, has not played a full season since 2009 because of injuries. He hit .249 with eight homers and 39 RBIs in 77 games last year. In addition to his base salary, Roberts can earn $2.6 million in performance bonuses based on plate appearances: $175,000 each for 250 and 300; $250,000 apiece for 350 and 400; $300,000 each for 450 and 500; $350,000 for 550; and $400,000 apiece for 600 and 650. Roberts raises the Yankees’ luxury-tax payroll to about $165 million, including benefits — the exact amount is uncertain pending a determination on how Rodriguez will be accounted for. A-Rod originally was listed at $27.5 million, but arbitrator Fredric Horowitz ruled the suspension will cost him 162/183rds of his $25 million salary this year, which comes to $22,131,148. The Yankees hope to be under the $189 million tax threshold this year.

Red Wings recall Jurco DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings have recalled right wing Tomas Jurco from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Jurco has played in seven games with the Red Wings this season, scoring two goals with one assist.

No pain? Weight gain There is bad losing, like the Colts did Saturday night. There is worse losing, like losing your keys. Finally, there is good losing — as in weight. Faithful readers will remember nearly a year ago at this time, I discussed my attempt to lose 30 pounds. My secondary reason for doing so was to become healthy enough so I would one day be able to write in this space how wrong it was that Social Security had MATT gone bankrupt just when I needed it. My primary GETTS reason for wanting to lose weight was to get my then-9-year-old daughter off my back. She’s just a little pill, but my daughter is relentless. Now a year later, and I have exceeded my goal. This morning, After that first half mile, I was 39 pounds the endorphins start to down from kick in. That’s when the the same time a year “runner’s high” takes ago. I have effect. You don’t just feel managed to stay under good exerting yourself, my goal you feel great. weight for a couple of months now. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Alas, I have learned that weight loss is not nearly as permanent as the other, bad kinds of losses. You never beat a weight problem, because the fight is never really over. For every mile jogged, there is a Big Mac waiting to happen. For every meal of rice and skinless chicken, there is a loaf of Velveeta singing its sweet siren song. The toughest part is finding the happy medium, which for me was losing enough weight to keep running and lifting weights while not starving myself to the point I occasionally wake up in the Dumpster behind Pizza Hut. The key for me is exercise. At this point, I should tell you that before beginning any sort of exercise regimen you should see your doctor. Or you could mail me $75 and I will give you the official OK. Once you get over the sting of paying $75 for your doctor to tell you it’s OK to spend the rest of your life miserably hungry, start working out slowly. I began with walking. Then I walked farther. Then I walked farther and faster. Then I jogged. Then I ran (or at least what constitutes running for me). The hardest part is maybe the first half mile or so. During that period, my knees will ache, my back will spasm and my arches will twinge in pain. My body will literally come up with excuses not to continue running. Fortunately, having children, I am able to block out whining like a professional. After that first half mile, the endorphins start to kick in. That’s when the “runner’s high” takes effect. You don’t just feel good exerting yourself, you feel great. The harder you work, the more your body protests, the better you feel. That runner’s high is addictive. If I don’t run every three or four days, I start to get grouchy. I crave sweating and oxygen deprivation like some people crave crack cocaine or my mom craves her soap operas. The big upside to this addiction is the effect is has on my weight. If I run hard three days a week and lift another three days a week, I can pretty much eat what I want three or four days a week. I only have to cut back every third day or so, but even now, it isn’t easy to stare at a box of rice and call it supper. But if it keeps the girl off my back, I guess it’s worth it.

‘Bridgegate:’ failed management of transportation BY THOMAS HELLER

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s “Bridgegate” at the Fort Lee entrance lanes to the George Washington Bridge serves notice of the dysfunction in the administration of our surface-transportation system. The political gamesmanship revealed by emails between Christie appointees is astounding and shameful. Before categorizing it as just another made-for-television political scandal, however, we need to understand how this sort of incident could occur anywhere in the nation. What we are witnessing in New Jersey has been in the works for decades. It is not merely the fall from grace of one state executive, his name besmirched by staffers whose actions more resemble Shakespearean villains than trusted appointees. It is representative of the failures, manipulations and outright fraud characterizing the realm of surface transportation, specifically the network of urban roads, transit and bridges governed by public bodies and financed by tax dollars. Among these failures were the enormous cost overruns of Boston’s “Big Dig” tunnel, a project manipulated and maneuvered from the start by consultants and government officials. Similarly, this same consultant-government cabal is attempting to manipulate expensive high-speed rail projects in several states, most notably in California. And that’s not all. Cities across the nation pursue high-cost transit projects that offer remarkably low productivity but whose “cool” factor lures voter approval, especially among the young

Guest Column • and impressionable. It should be no surprise that government has come to dominate transportation policy, a segment so crucially important to the efficient function of our people and our economy. And with government’s deep and entangling intrusion comes a sense of entitlement and unaccountability among those occupying influential transportation offices — the bureaucratic rabbit warrens to which political appointees gravitate and breed in sinecure with enough time to hatch petty political plots like those in New Jersey. Government’s near-complete corruption of surface-transportation infrastructure includes shadow groups known as Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) now controlling the flow of state and federal transportation dollars into those U.S. metropolitan areas serving populations over 50,000. These organizations are advised by staff and contracted consultants — all unelected but nonetheless preparing plans, approving projects and spending your tax dollars as they see fit. A few years back, even the MPO in my small Indiana town received almost a million federal stimulus dollars, lavished on a transit center for a four-bus system so inefficient it consumes over six tax dollars to transport every rider. Your town probably has a similar example. Will Rogers cogently observed that fraud is the inevitable result when

• two people get together to decide how to spend another person’s money. So, too, it is the inevitable outcome of government-erected mechanisms like MPOs. Meanwhile, the same consultants who were party to the financial fiasco that was Boston’s Big Dig are pitching a billion-dollar transit program in Indianapolis, flashing their history of being big players promoting expensive transit projects as the credentials that supposedly qualify them for any big-dollar, big-dream project anywhere. Bridgegate should be our warning. I fear it won’t be. Instead, an army of professional political spinners whose investment horizon extends only to the next election will misdirect our attention. The incident, in the end, may only divide the nation further while failing to alert us to the crisis at hand — the ongoing, systemic failure of a vital segment of our economy, transportation.

Israeli official insults Kerry’s peace efforts

Man fined for using stun gun on wife as part of football bet JUNEAU, Wis. (AP) — A suburban Chicago man was fined $250 after allegedly using a stun gun on his wife after she lost a bet on a Packers-Bears game. Forty-two-year-old John Grant of Tinley Park, Ill., pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct in a Wisconsin court on Thursday. Judge Steven Bauer ordered the fine plus court costs. The couple was driving through Mayville when they stopped at a bar to watch the Nov. 4 game. The Bears won 27-20. According to the complaint, Nicole Grant said her husband could use a stun gun on her for three seconds if Green Bay lost. John Grant allegedly used it three times, and she called police. She told officers she didn’t think her husband would actually use the weapon on her.

Detectives search Bieber’s home in vandalism case CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) — Detectives searched Justin Bieber’s home looking for surveillance footage that might serve as evidence the pop star was involved in an egg-tossing vandalism case that caused thousands of dollars in damage to a neighbor’s home, an official said Tuesday. Roughly a dozen investigators searched Bieber’s home and arrested one member of the singer’s entourage on suspicion of cocaine possession, Lt. David Thompson said. The man’s name was not immediately released, but Thompson said the cocaine was in plain view in Bieber’s house when deputies arrived. Bieber, 19, was at the home and cooperated with authorities but was not interviewed by detectives. Thompson said he expected the singer to speak with detectives when his attorney could be present. “He has not been arrested, nor has he been exonerated,” Thompson said of Bieber. Thompson declined to describe what evidence detectives took from Bieber’s home, but said the emphasis wasn’t on what was in the pop star’s refrigerator.

Curtis Reeves appears via video conference before Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper in Wesley Chapel, Fla., Tuesday. Tepper ordered Reeves, 71, held without bond on a charge of second-degree murder

in the death of 43-year-old Chad Oulson on Monday. An argument over texting in a movie theater ended with Reeves, a retired police captain, fatally shooting Oulson, authorities said.

Accused theater shooter ordered held without bail WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) — Chad Oulson was described by friends as a man who loved dirt bikes and his baby daughter. Curtis Reeves was a retired Tampa police officer with numerous commendations who liked riding his motorcycle with his wife. The men’s lives collided in a movie theater altercation that left Oulson dead and Reeves in jail. Oulson was texting his daughter’s daycare, friends said, and Reeves got mad. Authorities said Reeves shot and killed Oulson with a handgun after the men exchanged words. Reeves’ personnel files from the police department

show he led other agencies in gun safety training and received numerous letters of commendation for his leadership. Still, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said Tuesday: “It didn’t matter what he had done previously in his life. You don’t shoot someone over a texting incident.” During Reeves’ first court appearance Tuesday, Judge Lynn Tepper ordered the 71-year-old held without bond on a second-degree murder charge pending a bond hearing. Pasco County Sheriff’s officials say Reeves initially asked Oulson to stop texting at the theater in Wesley Chapel, a suburb about a half-hour north of

downtown Tampa. Sheriff’s Detective Allen Proctor wrote that Reeves spoke to Oulson during the movie previews, then got up and informed management. When Reeves returned to his seat “additional words were exchanged” and Oulson threw a bag of popcorn at Reeves, the report said. After officers read him his rights, Reeves told the detective that Oulson struck him in the face with an unknown object, and that’s when he removed a .380 caliber gun from his pants pocket. The report said Reeves fired the gun and struck Oulson once in the chest and that he “was in fear of being attacked.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s defense minister was quoted Tuesday as deriding U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s Mideast peace efforts as naive and foolhardy, triggering an angry response from Washington and rekindling simmering tensions with Israel’s closest and most important ally. The quotes appeared ahead of another visit by Kerry, who is expected in the region in the coming weeks to deliver his ideas on a framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Kerry has already submitted to Israel a series of proposals for ensuring Israel’s security as part of a future peace deal. In the comments published by the Yediot Ahronot daily, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon called Kerry “obsessive” and “messianic” and dismissed Kerry’s security plan as worthless. “The only thing that might save us is if John Kerry wins the Nobel Prize and leaves us be,” Yaalon was quoted as saying. Yaalon is a former military chief of staff and close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since becoming defense minister last year, a position of great influence in Israel, he has been a vocal skeptic of Kerry’s peace efforts. In his public statements, he has said Israel has “no partner” for peace and questioned the Palestinian commitment to resolving years of conflict.

Asked about the report, Yaalon issued a statement saying that relations with the U.S. are “intimate and meaningful” for Israel. “The United States is our greatest friend and our strongest ally and when there are differences they are resolved behind closed doors, including with Secretary Kerry with whom I have many conversations about the future of Israel. I will continue to determinedly, responsibly and thoughtfully protect the security of the people of Israel,” Yaalon said. His office would neither confirm nor deny the comments in Yediot, and repeated requests for additional comment were not answered. Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders scrambled to distance themselves from Yaalon, while the U.S. condemned the reported comments as “offensive and inappropriate.” The U.S. Embassy in Israel has complained about the reported comments to the Israeli government, said a senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record. Under heavy American pressure, Israel and the Palestinians resumed substantive peace talks last July for the first time in nearly five years. So far, there have been no signs of progress, and the talks have been marred by finger pointing by both sides.

People • West investigated after altercation BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Beverly Hills police say they’re investigating Kanye West for misdemeanor battery after a man accused the rapper of attacking him. Sgt. George DeMarois says several witnesses identiWest fied West as being involved in an altercation around 12:15 p.m. on Monday at an office on exclusive Wilshire Boulevard. The rapper had left the premises by the time officers arrived. Police said Tuesday they weren’t releasing further details and Blair Berk, an attorney representing West in another case, declined comment. West was charged last year with misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft after a fight with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport. He’s pleaded not guilty in the case. The photographer has sued West for assault and battery. West’s attorneys stated that West was in fear for his safety.

Juana Perez cries beside the coffin of her son, Rodrigo Benitez, 25, killed in the recent fighting in Antunez, Mexico Tuesday. The government moved in to quell violence between vigilantes and a drug cartel, and witnesses say several unarmed civilians were killed in an early Tuesday confrontation.

Mexican soldiers, vigilantes clash ANTUNEZ, Mexico (AP) — The Mexican government moved in to quell violence between vigilantes and a drug cartel in Michoacan state, but the campaign turned deadly early Tuesday with a confrontation between soldiers and civilians who witnesses say were unarmed. There were widely varying reports of casualties, but Associated Press journalists saw the bodies of two men said to have died in the clash, and spoke to the family of a third man who was reportedly killed in the same incident. No women or children died, contrary to earlier reports by the spokesman of a self-defense group. The Attorney General’s Office said it could not confirm a number of dead. The Interior Ministry said it had no information about reports that soldiers had fired on an unarmed crowd. “This is how they plan to protect the community? We don’t want them,” said Gloria Perez Torres, grieving over the body of

her brother, Mario, 56, who was killed in the clash. Antunez was calm again Tuesday, and self-defense groups remained armed and in control. In the city of Apatzingan, hundreds of federal police offices traveling in pickup trucks with machines guns mounted on the top, armored vehicles and buses amassed in the city square as residents watched. “The federal police have been here for years but they don’t do anything,” said a man sitting on a bench at the plaza who identified himself only as Ivan. Security analyst Alejandro Hope, who formerly worked for the country’s intelligence agency, called the government’s strategy in Michoacan a “disaster.” After initially arresting the vigilantes months ago, the federal government appeared to be working with them recently. The army and Federal Police have provided helicopter cover and road patrols while the self-defense groups attacked the cartel.

Angry dad wants to control his emotions DEAR ABBY: I’m a dad in my 30s and I have a problem. I have been battling anger issues since I was a kid. I have been finding myself getting more and more worked up with my kids. When they misbehave, I lose it and yell at them. It is the way I was raised; however, I feel even worse afterward. I really want to break this habit. I don’t want the only memories my children have of me to be images of my red face and bugged-out eyes hollering at them. Do you have any guidelines I can follow to get a better handle on my anger? —LOUD DAD IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR LOUD DAD: Yes, I do. And I’m glad you asked me because it’s important that you find other ways of relieving your frustration than taking it out on your children. It is not only counterproductive, it is extremely destructive. When a bigger person yells at a smaller person, the message

Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Dealing with anger calmly and with reason is more effective than lashing out. Expressing your feelings is healthy when it’s done with a few well-chosen words that make your point. As you have already learned, exploding in anger serves no constructive purpose and only makes you feel worse afterward. Sometimes when people are angry or frustrated about other things, they can lose control of their temper. In situations like these, it is important to evaluate the source of what might really be irritating you before misdirecting your anger at someone who is blameless.

nately, the more estrogen, the higher the likelihood of side effects such as high blood pressure or headaches. Minipills do not prevent ovulation as effectively as combination pills because they don’t contain estrogen. They mainly act by thickening secretions of the cervix and making it hard for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. They are about 98 percent effective. Minipills need to be taken exactly as directed. Even missing one pill can greatly reduce their effectiveness. Combination birth control pills are available in three subtypes: monophasic, biphasic and triphasic. Monophasic pills contain a constant amount of estrogen and progestogen. With biphasic and triphasic pills, the dose varies over the course of the month. For most women, monophasic birth control pills are a good first option.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve recently become sexually active and I’m planning to go on the pill. But there are so many different types of birth control pills. Which one is right for me? DEAR READER: I don’t know enough about you to give an answer that’s right for you. From my general remarks about these pills, I’m hopeful you can pinpoint the ones that seem right for you — and discuss them with your doctor. Birth control pills can be divided into two basic categories: combined pills and minipills. Most birth control pills are combined pills. They contain a combination of two types of female sex hormones: the hormone estrogen and a progestogen (a group of hormones that includes progesterone). Minipills contain a progestogen, but no estrogen. The estrogen in combined birth control pills prevents ovulation, the release of a

They work as well as the more expensive and more complicated biphasic and triphasic products. Minipills are a good option if you have a reason to avoid estrogen. The most common reasons are a tendency to develop blood clots, smoking and current breastfeeding. That’s because estrogen increases the tendency for blood clots. In smokers, even if they’ve never had a problem with blood clots in the past, starting on estrogen increases the risk for clots — and of the heart attacks and strokes caused by them. Estrogen reduces the amount of breast milk, so estrogen-containing birth control pills normally are not recommended in women who are breast feeding. DR.

Christie: Scandal won’t define state Judiciary against TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Faced with a widening political scandal that threatens to undermine his second term and a possible 2016 presidential run, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apologized again Tuesday, saying his administration “let down the people we are entrusted to serve” but that the issue doesn’t define his team or the state. On the eve of his second term, the governor opened his annual State of the State address by touching only briefly on the apparent political payback plot before moving on in his 46-minute speech to take credit for the state’s improving economy and cycle through such familiar themes as avoiding tax increases and working with the Democrats who control both chambers of the state Legislature. “The last week has certainly tested this administration,” he said. “Mistakes were clearly made. And as a result, we let down the people we are entrusted to serve. I know our citizens deserve better.” He received tempered applause after he went on, saying, “This administration and this Legislature will not allow the work that needs to be done to improve the people’s lives in Jersey to be delayed.” Turning later to policy matters, he warned that the state must reduce its pension and debt-service payments in the coming year. They’re scheduled to rise by a combined total of nearly $1 billion. He also promoted the state’s rising high school graduation rate and

privacy advocate joining spy court WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. judiciary told Congress Tuesday it opposes the idea of having an independent privacy advocate on the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, while members of Congress lauded the idea at a Capitol Hill hearing. Speaking for the entire U.S. judiciary, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates sent a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee saying that appointing an independent advocate to the secret surveillance AP court is unnecessary and New Jersey Gov.

“We don’t think that’s consistent with our legal traditions,” Sunstein said. Those competing points of view are playing out as President Barack Obama decides what changes he’ll back and unveil in a speech Friday, to satisfy privacy, legal and civil liberties concerns over the NSA’s surveillance practices. Bates, the former FISA chief judge, also rejected the panel’s recommendation that the government seek court approval every time it wants to obtain information in cases of national security, known as a national security letter. Roughly 20,000 such letters are issued every year. Bates said it would create too much work for the court, even if staff was added to handle the caseload. Bates was speaking for the judiciary in his current role as the administrative judge of the United States courts. Rep. Adam Schiff, an advocate for FISA reform, said Tuesday that reformers aren’t pushing for an independent advocate in all cases. “It would only be for the request to bless broad programs or for novel constitutional issues,” the California Democrat said in an interview Tuesday.
