Schools chief says decision should be made by individual districts, not state legislature

NUMBERS PUBLISHED DAILY

GOOD MORNING

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s state schools superintendent signaled her opposition Wednesday to a plan that would require public and charter schools to have an employee armed with a loaded gun, saying such decisions should be made by the individual districts rather than mandated by

the Legislature. Glenda Ritz, a Democrat who took office in January, said she didn’t know about the proposal before a Republican-controlled Indiana House committee added it Tuesday to a Senate-approved bill aimed at starting a school security grant program. The armed

employee proposal would have to clear both the full House and Senate by the Legislature’s April 29 adjournment deadline to become law. Leaders of the Indiana School Boards Association and the Indiana Ritz State Teachers Association also said they didn’t believe the

proposal was well thought out. Supporters of the requirement say it would lessen the vulnerability of schools to violent attacks such as the December elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 students and six teachers died. SEE RITZ, PAGE A6

Girl’s killing remains mystery

Parkview warns of possible police impersonator FORT WAYNE — Parkview employees have been warned about a man who is driving what looks like an unmarked police car, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. According to the Parkview security alert, the suspect has targeted women alone in their cars near hospitals. He is said to follow them or try to pull them over. Indiana State Police officials said they and other agencies in Allen County have been looking for the vehicle in question since Friday. The Allen County Sheriff’s Department confirmed police have been alerted of the suspicious vehicle and are aware of the situation, but said there is no active investigation since a police report has not been filed.

Sixth shooting in a week claims life FORT WAYNE — The sixth shooting in Fort Wayne in a week’s time claimed the life of a man in the back yard of a house, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. Fort Wayne Police Chief Rusty York said police received a call about shots fired in the 900 block of Hugh Street at 12:45 p.m. Wednesday. York said two men in their twenties gunned down the victim in the back yard of a house on Hugh Street. There were five shootings over Easter weekend in the Fort Wayne area that left two dead, two critically injured and left another in fair condition.

South Korean marines work on their K-55 selfpropelled howitzers during an exercise against possible attacks by North Korea near the border

village of Panmunjom in Paju, South Korea, Wednesday.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

North Korea ratchets up rhetoric Military cleared to wage nuclear attack on U.S.; Pentagon to deploy defense system SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Ratcheting up the rhetoric, North Korea warned early Thursday that its military has been cleared to wage an attack on the U.S. using “smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear” weapons. The Pentagon, meanwhile, said in Washington that it will deploy a missile defense system to the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam to strengthen regional protection against a possible attack from North Korea. The defense secretary said the U.S. was seeking to defuse the situation. Despite the rhetoric, analysts say they do not expect a nuclear attack by North Korea, which knows the move could trigger a destructive, suicidal war that no one in the region wants. The strident warning from Pyongyang is latest in a series of escalating threats from North Korea, which has railed for weeks against joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises taking place in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened

sanctions for a February nuclear test. Following through on one threat Wednesday, North Korean border authorities refused to allow entry to South Koreans who manage jointly run factories in the North Korean city of Kaesong. Washington calls the military drills, which this time have incorporated fighter jets and nuclear-capable stealth bombers, routine annual exercises between the allies. Pyongyang calls them rehearsals for a northward invasion. The foes fought on opposite sides of the three-year Korean War, which ended in a truce in 1953. The divided Korean Peninsula remains in a technical state of war six decades later, and Washington keeps 28,500 troops in South Korea to protect its ally. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Washington was doing all it can to defuse the situation, echoing comments a day earlier by Secretary of State John Kerry. “Some of the actions they’ve

taken over the last few weeks present a real and clear danger and threat to the interests, certainly of our allies, starting with South Korea and Japan and also the threats that the North Koreans have leveled directly at the United States regarding our base Hagel in Guam, threatened Hawaii, threatened the West Coast of the United States,” Hagel said Wednesday. In Pyongyang, the military statement said North Korean troops had been authorized to counter U.S. “aggression” with “powerful practical military counteractions,” including nuclear weapons. “We formally inform the White House and Pentagon that the everescalating U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its reckless nuclear threat will be smashed by the strong will of all the united service personnel and people and cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means,” an unnamed spokesman from the SEE KOREA, PAGE A6

SPENCERVILLE — Twentyfive years ago today a jogger found the body of April Tinsley, 8, in a drainage ditch along DeKalb C.R. 68, two miles west of Spencerville. The crime remains unsolved, but investigators have not given up trying to catch the person who killed Tinsley the little girl from Fort Wayne. “We’re still going through the list of any tips we get,” said Indiana State Police detective Mark Heffelfinger, now the lead investigator in the case. Those tips number more than 700 since the television series “America’s Most Wanted” shone its spotlight on the Tinsley case in 2009. “Once a week something will come in,” Heffelfinger said Monday. Many of the tips involve people who already are convicted sex offenders, but so far, none of them have led to the killer. “Someday, somehow, somebody’s going to say something” that cracks the case, Heffelfinger said. He encourages people with tips to call the Indiana State Police or Fort Wayne Police Department. The little girl was abducted SEE TINSLEY, PAGE A6

DNR grants to address invasive plants FROM STAFF REPORTS

INDIANAPOLIS — Department of Natural Resources grants totaling more than $693,000 will be used to fund the battle against invasive aquatic vegetation in Indiana’s lakes, the DNR announced Wednesday. The new grants were awarded by DNR Director Rob Carter, and are provided through the Lake and River Enhancement program in the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. The 37 projects involve 53 lakes in 14 counties. Of the projects, 17 are in LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties covering 21 lakes. The projects were selected from a number of applications submitted by local sponsors who commit to sharing a portion of the total cost. DNR’s portion comes from the LARE fee paid annually by boat owners to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The grants allow for the completion of projects that would be difficult for local organizations to fund on their own. “We are pleased to partner with local sponsors in supporting these projects to improve aquatic habitat and enhance recreational opportunities for boating and fishing,” said Mark Reiter, director of DNR Fish & Wildlife.

Family wants to put 2 restaurants under 1 roof BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — An Angola area family is proposing to combine its two separate restaurants under one roof in a new location. Tammy and Adam Tam have owned and operated China Garden, 600 N. Wayne St., for the last 20 years. The restaurant offers Chinese and some American food. Their son, David Tam, and his partner, Jacqui Fitzgerald, co-own Tompatos, 825 N. Wayne St. Tompatos offers pizza and American food. The Tam family is proposing to combine both restaurants under one roof by building a new eatery further north in the 2100 block of North Wayne Street. The Angola Plan Commission will hold a public hearing to review the Tam’s development plan Monday at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 210 N. Public Square.

at

Vivian Likes, Angola plan director, said the Tam’s development plan will be for construction of a new restaurant on a three-acre parcel next to Peter Franklin Jewelers. “They will develop and construct a 3,700-square foot building with up to 113 seats, 34 parking spaces and Monday through Sunday operation,” Likes said. Tammy Tam said she’s been in the restaurant industry for 30 years. She came up with the plan for the new business construction “because right now, it’s difficult because I’m half retired. My son would take care of both (restaurants).” David Tam said the union between both eateries would be a means of combining culinary and business skills. “By joining, it would save on a lot of angles. By combining both businesses, there’s something for

everyone,” David Tam said. “It’s something different. It will be unique and a different type of atmosphere.” Likes said access to the new restaurant would be through Iris Drive. “The easement there is for ingress and egress,” she said. Likes said once the plan commission approves the development plan, the Tams would then be able to go through the building permit process. David Tam said it’s likely the new restaurant could have the joint China Garden and Tompato’s name. It’s proposed it will have a carryout area and delivery. Once the new combined business opens, he added it’s possible a few jobs could be created. Tammy Tam said construction of the new building could hopefully start this month or next, once the proper permits are obtained.

GARRETT — A Garrett High School senior always knew his future was in aviation — and Purdue University was the only school to make that dream come Waterhouse true. Both goals moved closer to becoming a reality last week when Charles “Charlie” Waterhouse got a phone call from the DeKalb County Community Foundation revealing he is this year’s DeKalb County Lilly

Endowment Community Scholar. Waterhouse will receive four years of full tuition at an Indiana college of his choice and a book stipend of $900 per year. He ranks first in his class of 148 students at Garrett and is president of the senior class. Waterhouse said he was “surprised and honored” to learn he is the recipient of the scholarship during a phone call last week. His family was leaving later in the day for spring break in Florida and returned over the weekend. Waterhouse became interested in aviation through Scouting, which he joined in first grade. He

Health. Sponsored by the Indiana Organ Procurement Organization and DeKalb Health, the event teaches area fourthgraders about organ donation.

Area fourth-grade students learn about organ donation AUBURN — Take a pig’s heart, don a pair of rubber gloves, add a room full of fourth-grade students, and “Life is Cool” is in full swing at DeKalb Health. On March 20-22, DeKalb Health hosted nearly 600 DeKalb County fourth-grade elementary students for interactive, hands-on sessions teaching students about organ donation. The Indiana Organ Procurement Organization (IOPO), a nonprofit group, coordinated “Life is Cool” through DeKalb Health, along with Dr. Thomas P. Mason, a family medicine practitioner. The program is designed with sensitivity to the subject matter and crafted to engage 10-year-olds, enabling the children to grasp the concept of a human organ as a “gift of life.” The three-day program included several activity stations. At one station, students donned rubber gloves and handled pig organs. Pig organs are chosen because they closely resemble many human organs in shape and size. Sadie Best, a student at Lakewood Park, enjoyed the station on eyes. “I learned that if you grow stuff over your eyes, you can have surgery to remove it,” Best said. “It helps you see,” she said in reference to the cornea. Students also had the opportunity to listen to their heartbeats and participate in a variety of activities and games about organ donation. Some students, such as Claire Meyer, a homeschool student, found the hands-on approach amusing. “My favorite station was the kidney station,” Meyer said. “I like the way the kidney jiggled.” At the end of each session, Dr. Mason spoke with students about organ donation, providing them with information they can share with friends and families.

Christian School, Waterloo Elementary School, Country Meadow Elementary School, Riverdale Elementary School, Butler Elementary School and McKenney-Harrison Elementary School attended one of three sessions provided at DeKalb Health. Area homeschool students also joined for the event. Prior to the hospital presentation and instruction, teachers were provided with resource kits to prep students for questions and answers. The kit included songs and games for the students to play. Local transplant recipients and organ donors were also on-site volunteering with IOPO to answer questions for students.

Obama presses for gun measure DENVER (AP) — Ratcheting up pressure for Congress to limit access to guns, President Barack Obama said Wednesday that steps taken recently by Colorado to tighten its gun laws show “there doesn’t have to be a conflict” between keeping citizens safe and protecting Second Amendment rights to gun ownership. “I believe there’s no conflict between reconciling these realities,” Obama said in Denver, where he was stepping up his call for background checks for all gun purchases and renew his demand that Congress at least vote on banning assault weapons and limiting access to large-capacity ammunition magazines. “There doesn’t have to be a conflict between protecting our citizens and protecting our Second Amendment rights,” he said, noting that it’s been just over 100 days since the shooting rampage that killed 20 first-graders and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., and reignited the national debate over access to guns. In danger of losing congressional momentum on the issue, Obama went to Colorado — which has a deep-rooted hunting tradition and where gun ownership is a cherished right — to highlight state efforts to tighten gun laws. His intent is to use Colorado’s example and public pressure to prod reluctant members of Congress to act. Colorado recently expanded background checks for gun purchases and placed restrictions on ammunition magazines. Prospects for passage of similar measures by Congress appear bleak, largely because of concerns by conservative Republicans and moderate Democrats who come down more on the side of gun rights. Obama said there is a middle ground. “Colorado has shown that practical progress is possible by enacting tougher

President decides to take pay cut WASHINGTON (AP) — Sharing a bit of budget pain, President Barack Obama will return 5 percent of his salary each month to the Treasury in a show of solidarity with federal workers smarting from government-wide spending cuts. Obama’s decision grew out of a desire to share in the sacrifice that government employees are making, a White House official said Wednesday. Hundreds of thousands of workers could be forced to take unpaid leave — known as furloughs — if Congress does not reach an agreement soon to undo the cuts. The president is demonstrating that he will be paying a price, too, as the White House warns of dire economic consequences from the $85 billion in cuts that started to hit federal programs last month after Congress failed to stop them. In the weeks since, the administration has faced repeated questions about how the White House itself will be affected. The cancellation of White House tours in particular has drawn mixed reactions. A 5 percent cut from the president’s salary of $400,000 per year amounts to $1,667 per month. background checks that won’t infringe on the rights of responsible gun owners, but will help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people,” he said.

West Virginia sheriff shot, killed in police car WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) — A sheriff known for cracking down on the drug trade in southern West Virginia’s coalfields was fatally shot Wednesday in the spot where he usually parked his car for lunch, a state official said, and a suspect was in custody. State Police told Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin that Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum died of his wounds, said his chief of staff Rob Alsop. State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous identified the suspect as 37-yearold Tennis Melvin Maynard and said he was being treated at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington for gunshot wounds late Wednesday. Baylous said the suspect’s condition was

unknown, but Maynard was shot by a sheriff’s deputy after a short pursuit in Delbarton that ended with Maynard crashing his car. The shooting was blocks from the county courthouse that was evacuated after the shooting. Streets into the city were temporarily blocked off and officers held white sheets around the crime scene, Crum’s body further shielded by two vehicles. Though there is no indication of any direct connection, Crum’s killing comes on the heels of a Texas district attorney and his wife being shot to death in their home over the weekend, and just weeks after Colorado’s corrections director also was gunned down at his home.

Fallon steps up as Leno plans ‘Tonight’ departure NEW YORK (AP) — NBC on Wednesday announced its longrumored switch in late night, replacing Jay Leno at the “Tonight” show with Leno Jimmy Fallon and moving the iconic franchise back to New York. Fallon will take over in Fallon about a year, the switch coinciding with

NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage next year. Veteran “Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels also will take over as executive producer of “Tonight.” NBC made no announcement on who would replace Fallon at the 12:35 a.m. “Late Night” slot, although Seth Meyers of “Saturday Night Live” is considered a strong candidate. The change at “Tonight,” the longest-running and most popular late-night talk show, had been widely reported but not confirmed by the network until Wednesday. NBC reportedly just wrapped up negotiations with Fallon on a contract extension.

Preserve, modernize courthouse s many people will attest, it usually is easier to start a building project from the ground up rather than remodeling. And the older the structure, the more this becomes reality. In some cases, you can’t just turn your back on history, you can’t cast aside a structure that has served generations well and continues to do so. You can’t abandon an icon. Case in point, the Steuben County Courthouse. The The Steuben County structure, Courthouse is one of the built in 1867, has seen smallest and oldest in many years of varied use since its early the state. day when there were only two floors and a basement. The building had one court, Steuben Circuit Court, and housed all of county government, save for the sheriff’s and highway departments. Today, thanks to creative remodeling in 1981, the building is three floors housing three courts. Only judicial functions take place in the grand old structure, which was modeled after Boston’s Faneuil Hall, a beautiful 1742 facility that is now home to a marketplace and meeting hall. As a variety of events unfold, the ability of the building to function properly has come into clear view. A recent jury trial that packed the Steuben Superior Court chambers reminded Judge William Fee that his second floor facilities are in dire need of an update. The same holds true on the third floor, home of Steuben Circuit Court. The most modern, perhaps, of the courtrooms is the Magistrate Court, on the first floor, but it, too, has issues that would render it not completely in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In a meeting Monday with Fee, Steuben County Commissioners agreed that work to improve the courtrooms — including jury spaces that have to be accessed by stairs — were long overdue. “We’ve known for a while we need to do something with the courthouse,” said Commissioner Loretta Smart. Ron Smith, president of the commissioners, suggested a needs assessment be conducted and possibly seek requests for proposals on courthouse improvements. Smith said some sort of direction would be provided to Fee within the next 45 days. The Steuben County Courthouse is one of the smallest and oldest in the state. Though there has been discussion of creating a judical center over the past few years, Fee said he would prefer keeping the courthouse as the place that houses the judicial branch of county government. Fee said the building could be added to on the south end, the area of its 1937 addition. Apparently Angola officials have expressed a willingness to close off Gale Street between the courthouse and the old Steuben County Jail to accommodate a possible courthouse expansion, Smith said. Fee and Smith concurred that the historic beauty of the courthouse needed to be preserved. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. Fee said he hoped the efforts would balance the historic integrity of the building with the needs of the courts. There are many in the community who would hate to see the courthouse be converted to some other use. We agree. With the available architects who are used to working with historic structures, we have no doubt the building could be brought up to date and possibly added to at the south end in a fashion that would detract from the historic front facade that is such an iconic part of downtown Angola.

Letters To The Editor • Support of baseball program greatly appreciated To the editor: On behalf of the Angola baseball program I would like to thank the community for its support in our recent pancake breakfast and discount ticket sale fundraisers. The turnout for the breakfast was fantastic and it was great to see so many friends of the baseball/softball programs again, especially the former players in attendance. A special thank you to the

generosity of Tim Crooks and the members of the Angola Lions Club for another deliciously prepared meal. I have had several requests for the sausage brand used. Also a big thank you to Cindy Anstett for all she did in helping with the preparations needed in the kitchen. Her time and efforts are greatly appreciated. Our discount ticket fundraiser was designed to raise money for some bigger ticket items needed to advance the program and keep the AHS baseball facility one of the best in northern Indiana. Again,

community members have helped our program in a manner that exceeded all expectations. Thanks also to the businesses that participated by placing the coupons on the cards. We are truly blessed to represent the city of Angola and the surrounding area. We will do our best to put teams on the field that compete in a manner worthy of your support. Thanks to all!

All American ballpark food, drink and prices T here’s a scene in the classic 1989 baseball movie “Field of Dreams” where the main character Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) takes reclusive author-activist Terrance Mann (James Earl Jones) to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park. They stop at a concession stand and Ray asks Terrance “What do you want?” Mann responds in a rage of anger how he wants to be left alone. Ray replies, “What do you want,” gesturing to the concessionaire. Mann realizes he misunderstood and said, “dog and a beer.” It’s opening week for the 2013 Major League Baseball season, and baseball fans will flock to the baseball stadiums throughout the country during

Brief • Crews corral cruise ship that tore loose MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Carnival Cruise Lines says a crippled cruise ship that tore loose from the Alabama dock where it’s being repaired is secure and has been moved to a terminal. Spokesman Vance

Gulliksen says tug boats moved the drifting ship and tied it up to a pier. He says about 800 crew and contractors who were onboard are safe. Wind gusts near hurricane strength shoved the 900-foot Carnival Triumph free from its mooring. The ship was

brought to Moblile after a five-day ordeal that began when an engine fire stranded it off of Mexico in February. The violent weather Wednesday also blew a nearby guard shack into the water. A U.S. Coast Guard spokesman says one shipyard worker was rescued and crews were searching for another.

KOREA: Nuclear strike capabilities still unclear FROM PAGE A1

General Bureau of the Korean People’s Army said in a statement carried by state media, referring to North Korea by its formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “The U.S. had better ponder over the prevailing grave situation.” However, North Korea’s nuclear strike capabilities remain unclear.

Pyongyang is believed to be working toward building an atomic bomb small enough to mount on a longrange missile. Long-range rocket launches designed to send satellites into space in 2009 and 2012 were widely considered covert tests of missile technology, and North Korea has conducted three underground nuclear tests, most recently in

TINSLEY: Detective wants to see case solved FROM PAGE A1

April 1, 1988, which also was Good Friday. A child reported seeing April being forced into a beat-up, blue pickup truck in Fort Wayne. Police said the girl was sexually molested, then suffocated. Shortly after her body was discovered, a woman told police she saw a blue vehicle stopped near the site on C.R. 68 around 5:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1988. In the aftermath of the crime, police picked up a Fort Wayne man for questioning and seized four different blue pickups in Fort Wayne for investigation. The case remained unsolved in 2009, when “America’s Most Wanted” took an interest in the story. That brought the FBI and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children into the picture. In May 2009, some 20 national investigators arrived in Fort Wayne for two weeks of intensive focus on solving the murder. They set up shop in the Northeast Indiana

Regional Public Safety Academy at Fort Wayne. “There’s a lot of manpower and resources on this thing,” said Indiana State Police detective Mark Carunchia of DeKalb County, who had been the lead investigator when the crime occurred. “What’s going on here is impressive,” Heffelfinger said in 2009. More than 70 officers from the FBI, Fort Wayne Police, Allen County Sheriff’s Department and Indiana State Police devoted full time to the case for those two weeks. Heffelfinger said 28 teams of two officers apiece followed 600 leads. They collected DNA samples from more than 200 suspects who fit the profile of the girl’s killer in some way. For the first time, police revealed that in 1990, someone had claimed responsibility for the crime through graffiti on a barn in northeast Allen County. It warned, “You are next. Ha ha.” Then, in 2004, someone

claiming to be the killer wrote threatening notes to four little girls in Fort Wayne and near Grabill. In August 2012, “America’s Most Wanted” reported newly released evidence that a plastic Sears shopping bag containing a sex toy was found near the girl’s body. Police said that fact had been kept quiet, so it could be used to prosecute a suspect who would know about the toy. A profile released by police in 2009 said the killer likely lives, works or shops in northeastern Allen County and has a low to mediumlow income. In 2004, he owned or borrowed a Polaroid camera and a forest-green pickup truck with a matching camper shell, the profile said. The killer would likely be in his 40s or 50s now. “I would love to see this one solved before I retire,” Heffelfinger said in a 2012 interview. “It’s so tragic. It’s not right for it not to be solved.”

ANGOLA — A proposed plan unit development was approved for the Hollywood Landing Commons by Steuben County Plan Commission Wednesday. The approval came after a lengthy discussion and by a 4-1 vote, with Bill Schmidt, plan commission member, voting against it. Schmidt said he did not feel a PUD was needed because of a lack of development. Phil Meyers, an agent for Hollywood Landing Commons, petitioned for the PUD, which will include 10 existing lots and creation of three common areas. Hollywood Landing is located at 2200 W. Orland Road, at Crooked Lake. Meyers told the plan commission the history behind Hollywood Landing is lengthy over the last 60 years. He said it has been a campground-type resort, a rental community and at one point, a cooperative was created. But during upgrading of lots, variances are required due to county ordinances. Such variances can be costly, he said, and a PUD is necessary to alleviate those in upgrading the neighborhood. Meyers said the 10 Hollywood Landing lots are in the Steuben Lakes

Regional Waste District. Also, it includes a dock permit, as there is one dock slip for each unit. Part of it is considered a “campground” because 10 mobile homes are rentals. “Sixty-six percent of total lot (area) is commons,” Meyers said and added that is more than the county’s requirement. Emerald ash borer led to the removal of many trees and Meyers said replacement trees will soon be planted in their place, but he noted, “The commons would no longer be developed.” Meyers pointed out a PUD is beneficial to Hollywood Commons and that it is designed for flexibility. “It transforms it into a platted lot neighborhood,” he said. “It further improves property value … We’re taking a situation in the 1970s when the state couldn’t decide if it’s a mobile home park or campground. We’re trying to take care of a lot of problems. It’s been an ageold problem that hasn’t gone away and we’re trying to put it to rest.” Frank Charlton, Steuben County plan director, said a PUD was for developing a new development. He also said he felt a PUD was the easiest way to solve issues for Hollywood Landing

surrounding aged ordinances. Schmidt said it was an attempt to take and “bootstrap” the ordinance. “I don’t think this a PUD,” Schmidt said. “It has to be land development or to accommodate development. This is not a development. You’re trying to keep people from coming before the (board of zoning appeals) for a variance … I don’t think it meets the intent of state laws or local laws.” Don Stuckey, the county’s attorney, said it was a matter of redeveloping existing lots. Stuckey told Meyers his conservation easement does not comply with an Indiana conservation easement. Stuckey said the homeowner’s association could be the easement’s recipient, but a different entity is required as the owner. Stuckey said he could work with Meyers on that, because once it’s in place, taxes would likely not be required to be paid on the easement. Stuckey also requested an addition to the park’s covenant that the county is released from liability during road maintenance. The approval of the PUD will now be implemented administratively by Charlton.

Area leaders react to proposal FROM STAFF REPORTS

Local educators, sheriffs and a lawmaker reacted Wednesday to proposed legislation that would require every Indiana public school to have a school protection officer who carries a weapon. An Indiana House committee added the requirement to a bill that offers $50,000 grants to pay for school resource officers, who are trained police officers. A school protection officer could be a resource officer or any school employee who is trained for the purpose. Noble County Sheriff Doug Harp called the proposal a step in the right direction for providing a safe educational environment. “I am a proponent of establishing an armed presence in our schools,” Harp said. “Ideally, we would have police officers in every school, and I have repeatedly stated that if this was a realistic option, I would do just that.” However, Harp estimates it would cost $75,000 per year for each resource officer. “The cost to those local police agencies to have a school resource officer in those respective school facilities would be staggering,” Harp said. “I don’t ever foresee that the sheriff’s department or any of the local police agencies will ever have the ability to

staff those schools. The schools, unfortunately, are in the same position. Budget cuts have affected them as well.” Jeff Stephens, superintendent of DeKalb Eastern schools in Butler and St. Joe, focused on the budget issue. “This is an unfunded mandate, so we will be hiring personnel without any additional resources,” Stephens said. At the same time, he said, his district stands to lose $162,000 over the next two years in a proposed state budget for education. He also estimates that new federal health insurance laws will cost his district $205,000 per year. Using existing school employees as protection officers would save on salary, but could increase liability insurance costs, Stephens said. “If the state really wants to be helpful, they could offer liability coverage” for the school protection officers, Stephens said. That would cost less than providing $50,000 grants to school districts to hire resource officers, he said. LaGrange County Sheriff Terry Martin said arming school staff members is not a good idea. “I’d rather see them put resource officers in schools,” Martin said. Besides providing an extra level of protection, school resource officers can serve as a liaison from the school

community to law enforcement, providing valuable information, he said. State Rep. Ben Smaltz, R-Auburn, said he expects details to be worked out when the school-safety bill comes to the floor for debate by all House members. “I’m going to see what happens when it goes to the floor and see what solutions are offered to the logistical issues” before taking a position on the bill, Smaltz said. Smaltz said he has heard from one school superintendent in his district who opposes making school protection officers mandatory. “I have a feeling that may be the consensus, although I have not heard that,” Smaltz said. Fremont Community Schools Superintendent Lori Vaughn said when she made education her career, she did not foresee the issue of armed personnel in schools. “I’d never imagine,” she said, “but it’s a wait-and-see. Safety isn’t a new concept.” Vaughn said safety of students and staff members in her district always has been and will continue to be paramount and primary focus. She praised law enforcement officials with stepping up efforts to work with her district on safety. Vaughn said there has been a greater police presence in the school district and community as a whole.

RITZ: Schools chief not for, against armed officers FROM PAGE A1

The plan, however, is facing questions over whether people not trained as police officers should have such responsibilities and the potential costs school districts would face to ensure a trained armed person is present during all school hours. Ritz said local school officials should make decisions about what security steps are needed, including whether to hire police officers or have them assigned to school buildings. “I’m not for or against any type of officer that’s placed in a school district,” she said. “I think that’s up to the school district to make that local decision and the state of Indiana should not be mandating that.” The bill would require a person designated as the school protection officer — whether a police officers or employee such as a teacher or principal — carry a loaded weapon and be at the

school at all times during regular school hours. The protection officers would have to meet training standards set by a new statewide school safety board, but the bill doesn’t specify any training minimums or include any funding to pay for training or other expenses. Frank Bush, executive director of the Indiana School Boards Association, said any teacher, principal or counselor who takes on such duties would already have full-time duties in the school. “There’s no guarantee that the person that gets trained is going to be there every day on the premises with the firearm to be able to provide that kind of protection,” Bush said. “So it seems more logistically important for a school to have the money to go out and employ a full-time person for that kind of work that’s trained in law enforcement.” Legislators cited the

opportunity to hold costs down by avoiding the hiring of police officers at all schools as a reason to open the security position up to current employees. The provision’s sponsor, Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, said having an armed person in the school would be the best defense against an attack. “We are introducing firearms into schools, absolutely,” Lucas said. “But when the lack of firearms gives us the tragedies that we’re experience right now, to continue down the same path, to me, would be the true crime.” Indiana law makes it a felony for someone other than a police officer to possess a gun on school property, although school districts can authorize school employees to have guns on school property. Bush said he didn’t know of any Indiana districts that now allow teachers to have guns at school.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Once the video went viral, Mike Rice’s coaching days at Rutgers were over. Now the question is whether anyone else will lose their jobs — including the athletic director who in December suspended and fined Rice for the abusive behavior, and the university president who signed off on it. Rice was fired Wednesday, one M. Rice day after a video surfaced of him hitting, shoving and berating his players with anti-gay slurs. The taunts were especially troubling behavior at Rutgers, where freshman student Tyler Clementi killed himself in 2010 after his roommate used a webcam to spy on him kissing another man in his dorm. It also came at an especially embarrassing time for the NCAA, with the country focused on the basketball Final Four this weekend. Rice, in his third season with the Scarlet Knights, apologized outside his home in Little Silver, N.J. “I’ve let so many people down: my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans, my family, who’s sitting in their house just huddled around because of the fact their father was an embarrassment to them,” he said. “I want to tell everybody who’s believed in me that I’m deeply sorry for the pain and hardship that I’ve caused.” SEE RICE, PAGE B3

EN opens with 22-2 win BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcnews.net

KENDALLVILLE — This was the start the East Noble Knights were looking for. The Knights jumped ahead with an 8-run second inning and never trailed on the way to a 22-2 victory over Central Noble in the season-opener for both baseball squads on Wednesday. The effort gave new coach Cory Jacquay a victory in his first game as skipper of the Knights. “It’s nice to get that first win, we’ve been working hard and it paid off,” Jacquay said. “Hopefully there are many more wins to come — it’s only one — but to put up 22 runs is impressive.” Matt Patton took the

pitching win for East Noble. He struck out five and walked three. Marc Musselman also saw action, striking out four and walking three. The duo allowed just two Central Noble hits. The Cougars weren’t pleased with their effort, but were glad to finally get a game in the books. “With the weather, we lost four games,” explained Central Noble coach Jim Sickafoose. “We’ll get better when we get the experience. Just the fact we got on the field was a plus.” The Cougars used three pitchers, with Kevin Kennedy taking the loss. Jon Van and Joe Golden also saw duty. The Knights opened the second inning with walks by Ben Tackett and Noah Hamilton, with Tackett

soon scoring on a Jake Peterson hit. Hamilton later scored on a passed ball and Peterson came home on a shot by Matt Strowmatt. Strowmatt made it 4-0 when he scored on a Grey Fox single, with Patton launching a shot off the centerfield fence to bring Fox and Musselman across the plate. Patton would take the margin to 7-0 with his score on a Nic Weimer hit, and Weimer would also come home before the Cougars could end the inning. “Once we got the bats moving, it kind of set the tone for the rest of the game,” Jacquay said. If the 8-run second inning wasn’t enough, the Knights added a score from Strowmatt in the third inning, then scored 13 runs

John Darby, NASCAR’s managing director of competition and the Sprint Cup Series director, said on a teleconference last week that those numbers are indicators that the Generation 6 race car that made its debut this season is off to a good start. “It’s very difficult to make a firm judgment off of one race or one style of race track,” he said. “But we’ve had a great sampling of everything from short tracks to restrictor-plate racing so far in ’13, and we have been very pleased with all of what we’ve seen.” Darby went on to say that he believes the ontrack product is getting better as teams and drivers get more experience with the new car. “All the engineers and resources in the world can put their heads together and present a car for competition,” he said. “But until the actual race teams get ahold of the race car and do what they do best … I don’t believe [we] have seen its full potential … we have just scratched the surface.” Darby also explained his decision not to penalize any drivers for their conduct in the closing laps — and afterward — at Auto Club Speedway. Some wondered why Tony Stewart wasn’t punished for turning his car in to Joey Logano’s after the race and confronting him about the block Logano put on him during a late-race restart. “A few years ago, we backed away from micro-managing drivers’ emotions,” Darby said. “You would hope in today’s world that if somebody didn’t win a race, they would be upset about it for whatever reason. That’s what our drivers do — they try to win races.” He said some emotion — and anger — is just part of the sport. “A couple of drivers arguing a little bit doesn’t create a foul in our world today,” he said. “The crews did a great job of managing their drivers to make sure that it didn’t cross the line to where there was physical violence or anything like that.”

Truck Series resumes

The Camping World Truck Series has been idle since the season opener at Daytona International Speedway, but that doesn’t mean the drivers have been in holiday mode. Some have been trying to get some dirt racing experience to prepare them for the July 24 race at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. It’s the first appearance on dirt for a major NASCAR series since the Cup circuit raced at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in 1970. Joey Coulter has been competing in a Late Model in the NeSmith Chevrolet Late Model Series. Matt Crafton drove a dirt Modified at Tucson Raceway Park, the dirt track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and at Volusia Speedway Park. Max Gresham also raced at Volusia. “It was totally different,” Coulter told reporters from Speed TV in describing his experiences racing on a clay surface, where drivers often run practically sideways and on the verge of losing control lap after lap. “I’ve been racing for 14 years, and all 14 have been on pavement. It was really, really different. “But it was a ton of fun and I really enjoyed it right from the get-go.” Some are planning to tune up in test sessions. Red Horse Racing plans to send its three drivers, Timothy Peters, German Quiroga and John Wes Townley, to a dirt-racing school, but there are some Truck Ty Dillon Green-flag passes Laps ledSeries drivers like by Dale who haveby extensive dirt.Earnhardt Jr. Jimmie experience on in the pastrun 16 Sprint Johnson inNASCAR the Several veteran drivers who races atto Martinsville past Sprint Cup races at areCup on 16 dirt mostly for fun planning race at the mostand of any Martinsville Speedway, tops are Speedway, Eldora.

RICE: Video of coach’s tactics in practice drew outrage from N.J. lawmakers FROM PAGE B1

Athletic Director Tim Pernetti was given a copy of the tape by a former employee in November and, after an independent investigator was hired to review it, Rice was suspended for three games, fined $75,000 and ordered to attend anger management classes. University President Robert Barchi agreed to the penalty. Pernetti initially said Tuesday he and Barchi viewed the video in December. The president issued a statement Wednesday, saying he didn’t see it until Tuesday and then moved to fire the 44-year-old coach for repeated abusive conduct. Through a school spokesman, Pernetti backed up his president and said Barchi did not view the video until this week. “Yesterday, I personally

reviewed the video evidence, which shows a chronic and pervasive pattern of disturbing behavior,” Barchi said in a statement. “I have now reached the conclusion that Coach Rice cannot continue to serve effectively in a position that demands the highest levels of leadership, responsibility and public accountability. He cannot continue to coach at Rutgers University.” The video shows numerous clips of Rice at practice during his three years at the school firing basketballs at players, hitting them in the back, legs, feet and shoulders. It also shows him grabbing players by their jerseys and yanking them around the court. Rice can also be heard yelling obscenities and using gay slurs.

Several college coaches said they had never seen anything like the Rutgers video and it broke a cardinal rule: Never put your hands on a player. “Don’t tell me that’s the old way. That’s the wrong way,” said John Thompson Jr., the Hall of Famer who led Georgetown to the 1984 national title. Thompson, the father of current Hoyas coach John Thompson III, called the images “child abuse.” UConn women’s coach Geno Auriemma, winner of seven national titles, said “there is no line that could be drawn that would make that behavior acceptable.” The most famous case of a coach accused of abusing a player is the one involving Bob Knight of Indiana. The university put him on a zero-tolerance

policy in 2000 after an investigation into a former player’s allegations that the coach had choked him during a practice. When a student alleged that Knight grabbed him later that year, Knight was fired. Knight, who now works for ESPN, couldn’t be reached Wednesday. The Rice video drew outrage on campus and all the way to the capital in Trenton, with lawmakers and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie supporting the firing at the state’s flagship public university. “This was a regrettable episode for the university, but I completely support the decision to remove Coach Rice,” Christie said in a statement. “It was the right and necessary action to take in light of the conduct displayed on the videotape.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Twins rally past Tigers, 3-2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Eduardo Escobar’s two-run double with one out in the ninth inning lifted the Minnesota Twins to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. After Joaquin Benoit issued a leadoff walk to Trevor Plouffe, reliever Phil Coke took over. Coke got the first out, but Brian Dozier’s single advanced pinch-runner Jamey Carroll to third. Then Escobar drove the first pitch Coke to the deepest part of the park in front of the bullpens in left-center field. The ball bounced between outfielders Andy Escobar Dirks and Austin Jackson and both runners scored easily. The rebuilding Twins enjoyed their first on-field celebration of the season and spoiled another strong performance by a Tigers starter. The AL Central champion Tigers began the season without a set closer after Jose Valverde wasn’t brought back. Anibal Sanchez threw five scoreless innings, just like Justin Verlander did in the opener. But after a two-up, two-down save on Monday, Coke (0-1) blew his chance in this one.

Big trade day for Blue Jackets BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Marian Gaborik landed in Columbus, providing the trade-happy Blue Jackets’ playoff push a nudge. The purge in Buffalo continued, with the Sabres dealing captain Jason Pominville to Minnesota on Wednesday. The talent-laden Pittsburgh Penguins showed they weren’t done dealing by acquiring forward Jussi Jokinen from Carolina. And even NHL rookie of the year candidate Cory Conacher wasn’t an untouchable after Tampa Bay traded him to Ottawa in exchange for goalie Ben Bishop. What began as a slow day in leading up to the NHL’s mid-afternoon trading deadline, ended with a flourish as teams continued to jockey for playoff positioning with a little over three weeks to go in a lockout-shortened season. When the dust settled, 23 teams completed 17 deals involving 30 players. The Blue Jackets led the way with four trades in a bid to continue a late-season push to secure only their second playoff berth. Their most notable deal involved the New York Rangers, in which Columbus acquired Gaborik and defensemen Blake Parlett and Steven Delisle. In return, the Rangers received forwards Derek Dorsett and Derick Brassard, defenseman John Moore and a sixth-round pick in the 2014 draft. Gaborik, who waived his no-trade clause, was the key for the Blue Jackets, who opened the day 11th in a tightly packed race for the Western Conference’s eighth and final playoff spot. Columbus also swapped goalies with Philadelphia, sending Steve Mason to the Flyers in exchange for Michael Leighton and a third-round pick in the 2015 draft. The Blue Jackets added another goalie, by acquiring Patrick Killeen from Pittsburgh for future considerations. And Columbus also added forward Blake Comeau from Calgary in exchange for a fifth-round pick this year. While the Blue Jackets continued their push for the playoffs, the Sabres showed more signs of conceding their chances by looking instead beyond this season. Buffalo, which has already fired its longtime coach Lindy Ruff, sits 12th in the East. In trading Pominville, their third core player in five days, the Sabres acquired two rookies — forward Johan Larsson and goalie Matt Hackett — a first-round pick in this year’s draft and a second-rounder next year. Add it up, and Buffalo has stockpiled six picks over the past three weeks.

Richard Pitino to lead Gophers MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota has picked 30-year-old up-and-comer Richard Pitino to take over for Tubby Smith. The university announced on Wednesday evening that it has reached an agreement to bring Pitino to the Golden Gophers after one season at Florida International. Athletic director Norwood Teague says full terms of the contract will be finished later in the week. In his lone season at Florida International, Pitino led the Panthers to an 18-14 record, the school’s first winning season in 13 years. He turns 31 in September, fitting the profile of the young, up-and-comer that Teague has preferred to hire in the past. Smith was fired last week after six seasons at Minnesota. He was hired at Texas Tech on Monday.

Big East changing names NEW YORK (AP) — The current Big East will be called the American Athletic Conference starting next season. The conference announced the decision Wednesday after university presidents approved the new moniker earlier in the day. The Big East football schools were in need of a new name after they agreed to let seven basketball schools break away from the conference to start a new league this summer to be called the Big East. In return, the football schools received about $100 million of a $110 million pot the league had accumulated in recent years from exit and entry fees and NCAA basketball tournament revenue.

AdoptA-Tree fest is April 20 BY AMY OBERLIN amyo@kpcnews.net

ANGOLA — This is the 24th year for the Adopt-ATree Festival at ACRES’ Wing Haven Nature Preserve. The event will be held on April 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event has been organized annually by Art Eberhardt and Jim Shearer of Angola with a contingent of other local people that include David Syler, John Eddy, David and Bonnie Snyder, Paul Nailor and Lee Sauer. Notably, Eberhardt’s daughter, Laurie, and her husband Peter Martin have been very involved over the years. Laurie brings microscopes to allow guests to view the life in a bucket of water from the preserve’s Gentian Lake. Some of the creatures are large and visible to the naked eye, such as tadpoles and water bugs. Others pop into view only with the aid of the microscopes. Martin provides music on fiddle and dulcimer to those browsing through or staying to picnic and chat. Among the activities at

There were many activities geared toward budding naturalists at Wing Haven Nature Preserve for the annual Adopt-A-Tree festival held at the ACRES Inc. property near Pokagon State Park

the festival at Wing Haven, 180 W. C.R. 400N, north of Angola, is building bluebird houses and suet feeders. Sauer will do caricature drawings. The purpose of the event has always been to encourage local people to plant and care for trees. This year, the tree starts available will include tulip, Norway spruce, Washington hawthorn and shumard oak.

“It’s a native tree, but you don’t hear it much mentioned,” said Eberhardt. Also known as Southern red oak or spotted oak, the Shumard’s territory reaches into northern Indiana and down into the southern part of Texas and Florida. It grows fairly quickly and produces acorns evey two to four years. It has quality wood and is a good shade tree.

Every year I launch my boat in Lake Michigan in early March in search of spring coho, and every year I go home without fish. It’s always too early. By April, however, the big lake is a different place. Deep fish are OUTDOORS swimming shallow and WITH DON winter ice flows are usually Don Mulligan melted away. As a general rule, the first week of April is the best week of the year to fish Lake Michigan for spring coho, but the past two years have been anything but typical. March 2012 was one of the hottest on record and March 2013 was the sixth coldest on record. That makes timing the run nearly impossible to predict, and fishermen with an open schedule the most successful. Deciding when to fish needs to be based on the wind and water temperature far more than the date on the calendar. Generally, when the shallow Indiana waters hit and stay between 39 and 50 degrees, it’s time to fish for cohos. Ice flows should be a concern for several weeks this year, however. As of the last week of March, a few were still lingering. Ice flows are an especially big concern on days when the north wind blows. North winds blow the flows into Indiana’s shore, making it perilous to fish. In fact, unless anglers have a big boat or a death wish, it’s a good idea to avoid north winds all year long. A 15 mph north wind on the big lake can mean fourfoot waves and rollers. That’s too much for most small boats to navigate and definitely not worth risking for a couple silver fish. The good news is that a couple warm, sunny days in April is all it takes for cohos to crowd Indiana’s shoreline. On days when the wind is right in April, it’s possible to put several spring fish in the box from shallow water. Not surprisingly, the best fishing is in places where the water is warmest. The hot water outlet in the Port of Indiana is still off limits to boaters, but there is still limited shore access. A better bet for boaters is an area known as Gary Light. There is a small light at the end of a rock breakwater marking the spot. The spot is a good bet because of its heavy, industrial runoff flow of water into the lake. It sits just east of Pastrick Marina in East Chicago. Pastrick has limited parking, but offers the shortest run to Gary Light if the weather is bad. I’ve made the run from the Portage Marina, but only on days when waves are less than three feet. Portage is a nicer marina,

as has the advantage of being close to the Bass Pro Shop. There is also more parking available at Portage than East Chicago. While cohos and brown trout are being caught at all of the Indiana marinas right now, it is important to remember the general migration the cohos make in the spring. They always arrive at East Chicago first and slowly work their way east. That means Michigan City is one of the last Indiana marinas to report good numbers of spring cohos every year. Most fish caught this time of year will either be 1-year-old, 12-inch fish, or 2-year-old, 18-inch fish. As summer progresses, cohos fatten quickly after moving into deeper water. Even when they are in close and aggressive, however, it’s important to fish them properly. Troll slowly when the water is just hitting the 40degree mark. Blue and fire tiger jointed shad raps, as well as silver and black No. 7 husky jerks are always producers when trolled on a flat line in the spring. There is no need to use downriggers or even planer boards now. Planer boards allow fishermen to run additional flat lines, but seem pointless when hooking 2- and 3-pound fish. They take the fight out of the fish, and most caught on a board are simply skipped across the surface to the boat. Planer boards also become a source of friction among fishermen when there is dozens of boats trolling the same area because some boat’s planer spreads are more than 50yards wide. Besides watching the water temperature and wind, anglers should hope for heavy April rains across Michigan and Wisconsin. They help Indiana fishing by melting the remaining ice flows on Lake Michigan, warming the lake and pushing more fish into our comparitively shallow water.

China bird flu appears to mutate BEIJING (AP) — In a worrisome sign, a bird flu in China appears to have mutated so that it can spread to other animals, raising the potential for a bigger threat to people, scientists said Wednesday. So far the flu has sickened nine people in China and killed three. It’s not clear how they became infected, but there’s no evidence that the virus is spreading easily among people. But the virus can evidently move through poultry without making them sick, experts said, making it difficult to track the germ in flocks.

Syrian rebels set sights on wouth BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels captured a military base in the south on Wednesday and set their sights on seizing control of a strategically important region along the border with Jordan that would give them a critical gateway to attempt an attack on the capital, Damascus. With foreign aid and training of rebels in Jordan ramping up, the opposition fighters have regained momentum in their fight to topple President Bashar Assad. But while the fall of southern Syria would facilitate the rebel push for Damascus, it might also create dangerous complications, potentially drawing Syria’s neighbors into the 2year-old civil war. Besides abutting Jordan, the region includes territory that borders Syria’s side of the Golan Heights, along a sensitive frontier with Israel.

The 32year-old actor sent a letter this week to the National Gosling Milk Producers Federation urging the group to advocate against the industry practice of removing calves’ horns. He asks that they help stop what he calls a “barbaric practice” by requiring farmers to breed naturally hornless cattle. The letter was released Wednesday by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Gosling has worked with the group before in its campaign urging KFC to adopt more humane methods of slaughtering chickens.

Study: Dementia most expensive malady Alzheimer’s costs more than cancer, heart disease BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cancer and heart disease are bigger killers, but Alzheimer’s is the most expensive malady in the U.S., costing families and society $157 billion to $215 billion a year, according to a new study that looked at this in unprecedented detail. The biggest cost of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia isn’t drugs or other medical treatments, but

the care that’s needed just to get mentally impaired people through daily life, the nonprofit RAND Corp.’s study found. It also gives what experts say is the most reliable estimate for how many Americans have dementia — around 4.1 million. That’s less than the widely cited 5.2 million estimate from the Alzheimer’s Association, which comes from a study

that included people with less severe impairment. “The bottom line here is the same: Dementia is among the most costly diseases to society, and we need to address this if we’re going to come to terms with the cost to the Medicare and Medicaid system,” said Matthew Baumgart, senior director of public policy at the Alzheimer’s Association. Dementia’s direct costs, from medicines to nursing homes, are $109 billion a year in 2010 dollars, the new RAND report found. That compares to $102 billion for heart disease and $77 billion

for cancer. Informal care by family members and others pushes dementia’s total even higher, depending on how that care and lost wages are valued. “The informal care costs are substantially higher for dementia than for cancer or heart conditions,” said Michael Hurd, a RAND economist who led the study. It was sponsored by the government’s National Institute on Aging and will be published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia

and the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Dementia also can result from a stroke or other diseases. It is rapidly growing in prevalence as the population ages. Current treatments only temporarily ease symptoms and don’t slow the disease. Patients live four to eight years on average after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, but some live 20 years. By age 80, about 75 percent of people with Alzheimer’s will be in a nursing home compared with only 4 percent of the general population, the Alzheimer’s group says.

Kerry heads back to Mideast in new push for peace WASHINGTON (AP) — Evoking the U.S. shuttle diplomacy of decades past, Secretary of State John Kerry is making his third trip to the Middle East in a span of just two weeks in a fresh bid to restart long-stalled Kerry peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Though expectations are low for any breakthrough on Kerry’s trip, which begins Saturday, his meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders represent some of the Obama administration’s most sustained efforts at engagement in a part of the world that has frustrated American administrations for the past six decades. “His diplomacy will be based on what he hears from the parties,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday. Kerry, she said, will be making clear that both sides have to want to get back to the negotiating table “and that they’ve also got to recognize— both parties — that compromises and sacrifices are going to have to be made if we’re going to be able to help.” Kerry is going at a precarious time. Overnight and into Wednesday, Israel and Gaza militants engaged in the heaviest fighting since a cease-fire was declared in November. The militants fired several rockets into southern Israel, and Israel responded with its first airstrike in Gaza since the fighting subsided. No injuries were reported on either side. Kerry had planned to leave Monday for talks in London and then South Korea, China and Japan. But officials said he moved up his departure to Saturday for a first stop in Turkey, where he’ll seek to build on recent efforts by that nation and Israel to repair ties and coordinate on stemming violence in Syria. Kerry then travels to Jerusalem and to Ramallah in the West Bank, which he visited with Obama last month before returning to Israel a second time. U.S. officials say Kerry is primarily interested in gauging what the Israelis and the Palestinians are willing to do to restart direct negotiations that have been mostly frozen for the past 4 years. He’ll meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Trying to avoid raising

expectations unrealistically, Nuland said Kerry’s trip isn’t the start of a new era of shuttle diplomacy, a concept that got its start with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger during his regular travels back-and-forth to end the 1973 Mideast War and secure peace between Israel and some of its neighbors. Similar efforts took place under later secretaries James A. Baker III, Warren Christopher and Condoleezza Rice. But it undeniably marks a shift after President Barack Obama largely kept the Arab-Israeli conflict at arm’s length during his first term. Despite publicly challenging Israel to halt settlement construction in disputed territory and becoming the first U.S. president to publicly endorse Israel’s pre-1967 borders as the basis of a two-state solution, Obama and Kerry’s predecessor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, presented no grand peace plan and failed to produce any sustained, high-level diplomacy between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Clinton avoided Israel and the Palestinian territories for nearly two years at one point, and only open war between Israel and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip last November prompted frantic U.S. diplomatic action. The last significant peace negotiations occurred when President George W. Bush brought leaders to Annapolis, Md., with the goal of a treaty by the end of 2008. After a 2-year hiatus, talks that began under the Obama administration’s guidance in 2010 quickly fizzled out. Hopes for quick progress still seem bleak. Israel’s new government, with a large hardliner contingent, has shown no sign of giving ground to the Palestinians on sensitive issues such as Jewish settlements in contested lands, future borders or the question of Jerusalem — which both sides claim for a capital. Power among the Palestinians, meanwhile, is split between those who demand tough Israeli concessions before talks can occur and those who simply reject the notion of negotiations. “Neither Abu Mazen nor Netanyahu is a candidate for an end to the conflict,” said Yossi Alpher, who advised former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, referring to Abbas by his nom de guerre. Kerry, he said, should seek merely “some kind of partial solution.”

Tweet boomerangs on U.S. Embassy WASHINGTON (AP) — Yikes! It seems “The Daily Show” and diplomacy don’t mix. That’s the lesson the U.S. Embassy in Cairo is learning the hard way after being rebuked by both the Egyptian government and the State Stewart Department for causing an international incident. The embassy tweeted a link to a Jon Stewart monologue that mocked Egypt’s president — offending the Egyptians — and then deleted its entire Twitter account before restoring it without the post in question, irritating Washington. Egyptian President

Mohammed Morsi’s office called the tweet “inappropriate” and unbecoming of a diplomatic mission while the State Department said the unusual affair was the result of “glitches” in the embassy’s social media policies that are now being corrected. The imbroglio over the tweet comes at a time of rising tensions between Cairo and Washington, which has expressed deep concerns that Morsi’s government is backsliding on human rights protections. And, it underscores the pitfalls of allowing individual American embassies to control the messages they disseminate through social media. The trouble began Tuesday when the embassy posted a link to Stewart’s monologue on his Comedy Central show the night

e r a h S FUN! the

before. Stewart took savage aim at Morsi for the arrest and interrogation of Egyptian comic Bassam Youssef, who has frequently criticized the president on a popular TV program that has been likened to Stewart’s own. In the clip, Stewart accused Morsi of being petty, undemocratic and ignoring more pressing problems like Egypt’s economic crisis and violent crime to go after satirists who are critical of his government. He pointed out that he has made a living by poking fun at political leaders and that such activity is harmless and should be protected. Morsi’s office responded to the embassy’s post on its own Twitter feed, saying: “It’s inappropriate for a diplomatic mission to engage in such negative political propaganda.”

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents wearing Afghan army uniforms launched a suicide attack and stormed a courthouse Wednesday in a failed bid to free Taliban inmates, killing at least 44 people, half of them shot in the basement. Nine attackers were killed. The attack — one of the deadliest in the more than 11-year-old war — began about 8:30 a.m. when nine men wearing suicide vests drove into the capital of Farah province in western Afghanistan, evading checkpoints by using army vehicles, according to the provincial police chief. The standoff ended some eight hours later when the last gunman was killed. Insurgents have stepped up assaults targeting the Farah provincial government in recent months as they vie for control of an area bordering Iran to the west and Helmand province to the east.

Wife is suspicious of clerk and husband

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

DEAR ABBY: My husband, ‘‘Wade,’’ and I went into a convenience store near our home that we frequent regularly. A new employee — a pretty, much younger girl — stared at Wade with an expression of recognition and surprise on her face. When I asked him what that was about, he laughed it off and said I was ‘‘imagining things.’’ The next time we saw her, Wade acted nervous and started talking fast, as if trying to distract me. He seemed to be avoiding eye contact with her. She ignored me while obviously trying to lock eyes with Wade. The third time, she again ignored me but smirked and giggled while we were checking out. Then she shouted, ‘‘See ya later!’’ to my husband as we were walking out the door. When I turned, I caught Wade glaring at her. When I asked why he did it, he replied, ‘‘I looked at

because he felt guilty about something and didn’t want to discuss it. It proves the truth of the adage, ‘‘The best defense is a strong offense.’’ Believe me, you have my sympathy, but you need to get to the bottom of this, so don’t put it off. DEAR ABBY: Where does the priest get the ashes for Ash Wednesday? — MARY IN VISTA, CALIF. DEAR MARY: Traditionally, palm branches from the previous year’s Palm Sunday are burned to create the ashes, and those ashes are retained for the next year’s Ash Wednesday. Some people keep the palm fronds from the last Palm Sunday tucked behind a cross or a religious picture in their home and bring them to be burned. I have this on good authority. (When I told a priest I would have guessed they were left over from the Inquisition, he laughed.)

from injuries, and they recover better from strokes than men. Women also respond differently to medications; they tend to have more or different side effects from the same dose of medication, perhaps due to body size and hormones. There are also conditions that are more common in one gender than the other: • Depression and certain autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, are more common among women. Interestingly, most autoimmune diseases in animals also are more common in the females of the species. • Sleep apnea is more common among men. The danger is that people and their doctors may dismiss the possibility of a condition when it occurs in the gender that gets it less often. And that’s something that all doctors — male and female — should always bear in

DEAR DOCTOR K: It’s obvious that there are some health problems that affect only women, and others that affect only men. But for the health problems that affect both women and men, are there differences in symptoms, or in reactions to treatments? DEAR READER: That’s an interesting question. Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is yes. Heart disease is a good example. Angina and heart attacks occur when too little blood flows to the heart through arteries. The classic symptom is chest pain or pressure that travels to the left arm, jaw or neck when you exert yourself. But men are much more likely than women to have these typical symptoms. Instead, women can have shortness of breath, abdominal pain and fatigue. In addition, misleading test results for heart disease are more common for women. An

mind. I’ve learned that lesson more than once. Once a man in his late 70s called me to say he was concerned about a lump under the skin on his chest. At least 99 times out of 100, such a little lump under the skin is one of two things: a little ball of fat called a lipoma, or a plugged-up gland called a sebaceous cyst. So I knew that’s what it was going to be. But when I examined his lump, it wasn’t soft and squishy as I had expected. It was rock hard and was sitting in the skin right over his breast. The biopsy showed that the man had breast cancer. I knew that, on rare occasion, men could get breast cancer, but I had never seen it in a male patient of mine — before or since. DR.

Scientists find possible hint of dark matter GENEVA (AP) — It is one of the cosmos’ most mysterious unsolved cases: dark matter. It is supposedly what holds the universe together. We can’t see it, but scientists are pretty sure it’s out there. Led by a dogged, Nobel Prize-winning gumshoe who has spent 18 years on the case, scientists put a $2 billion detector aboard the International Space Station to try to track down the stuff. And after two years, the first evidence came in Wednesday: tantalizing cosmic footprints that seem to have been left by dark matter.

But the evidence isn’t enough to declare the case closed. The footprints could have come from another, more conventional suspect: a pulsar, or a rotating, radiation-emitting star. The Sam Spade in the investigation, physicist and Nobel laureate Sam Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said he expects a more definitive answer in a matter of months. He confidently promised: “There is no question we’re going to solve this problem.” “It’s a tantalizing hint,” said California Institute of Technology physicist Sean

Carroll, who was not part of the team. “It’s a sign of something.” But he can’t quite say what that something is. It doesn’t eliminate the other suspect, pulsars, he added. The results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, are significant because dark matter is thought to make up about a quarter of all the matter in the universe. “We live in a sea of dark matter,” said Michael Salamon, who runs the AMS program for the U.S. Energy Department. Unraveling the mystery of dark matter could

help scientists better understand the composition of our universe and, more particularly, what holds galaxies together. Ting announced the findings in Geneva at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the particle physics laboratory known as CERN. The 7-ton detector with a 3-foot magnet ring at its core was sent into space in 2011 in a shuttle mission commanded by astronaut Mark Kelly while his wife, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, was recovering from a gunshot wound to the head.

The device is transmitting its data to CERN, where it is being analyzed. For 80 years scientists have theorized the existence of dark matter but have never actually observed it directly. They have looked for it in accelerators that smash particles together at high speed. No luck. They’ve looked deep underground with special detectors. Again no luck. Then there’s a third way: looking in space for the results of rare dark matter collisions. If particles of dark matter crash and annihilate each other, they should leave

a footprint of positrons — the anti-matter version of electrons — at high energy levels. That’s what Ting and AMS are looking for. They found some. But they could also be signs of pulsars, Ting and others concede. What’s key is the curve of the plot of those positrons. If the curve is one shape, it points to dark matter. If it’s another, it points to pulsars. Ting said they should know the curve — and the suspect — soon. The instrument will be measuring cosmic rays, where the footprints are found, until 2020 or so.
