KENDALLVILLE — Gov. Mike Pence spent about two hours in Kendallville Tuesday, stopping at the Campbell & Fetter Bank and hosting an local industrial leadership roundtable discussion at Courier Digital Solutions. Campbell & Fetter Bank, 126 Orchard St., is celebrating its 150th birthday. Pence paid tribute to the bank with a framed certificate from his office acknowledging the bank’s success over the years despite the ups and downs of the economy. Campbell & Fetter Bank was started in 1863 by Kendall-
ville’s founding father, William Mitchell. It was the only bank in Noble County to survive the Great Depression. “We were the 41st bank chartered in the nation, and now there are over 14,000 banks, so we’re pretty proud of that,” said Campbell & Fetter Bank executive RJ Ruse. Pence praised the bank’s conservative values and community involvement as an example of a Hoosier success story. “This is a big deal for us,” said Larry Doyle, Campbell & Fetter Bank president and CEO. “It’s a
tribute to our staff. That’s what makes a bank a success.” Pence also used the occasion to recognize Kendallville’s sesquicentennial year. He presented a framed proclamation to Mayor Suzanne Handshoe describing Kendallville as a community built on a solid foundation of faith, civic duty and community pride. Handshoe said the proclamation will hang on a wall inside the City Hall council chambers. District 82 state Rep. David Ober, R-Albion, and District 13 state Sen.

Noble County Wednesday afternoon.
FORT WAYNE (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence said Wednesday he is standing by Indiana’s system of assigning “A-F” grades to schools based on their performance despite reports that the state’s former schools chief worked to change the grading formula to ensure a top GOP donor’s school received an “A.” Pence said Wednesday that the system is “an essential part” of accountability measures designed to improve education in Indiana. But he said the public must have confidence that the system is “fair and impartial.” “I think the A-to-F system is extremely important,” Pence said after participating in a mile-long walk to promote health with his wife, Karen. “Parents have a right to know how their schools are performing overall. But that system needs to really reflect the performance of those schools in an accurate and fair and impartial way.” Emails obtained by The Associated Press show Bennett and his staff scrambled last fall to change the grading formula so Christel House Academy, a charter school founded by Christel DeHaan, received an “A.” DeHaan has donated $2.8 million to Republicans since 1998, including $130,000 to Bennett. Bennett had touted the school as a top performer for months as he built support for his education agenda among lawmakers and business groups. But low 10th grade algebra scores pulled the school’s initial mark down to a “C.” “This will be a HUGE problem for us,” Bennett wrote in a Sept. 12 email to his chief of staff. “They need to understand that anything less than an A for Christel House compromises all of our accountability work.” The emails show efforts to raise the grade, including changing color presentations on a chart so a high “B” looked like an “A,” and included questions about whether the state could legally change just Christel House’s score. It’s not clear how the formula was changed, but within a week, Christel House had gone from a 2.9 to a 3.75.

EN board OKs Benefit planned for ill Vietnam veteran administrators’ new contracts BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
BY DENNIS NARTKER dennisn@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — East Noble school district superintendent Ann Linson’s new three-year contract includes a $153,043 total compensation package, a $3,419 increase annually over her expired contract. Her base salary is $126,000, a $10,000 increase on her previous contract. Wednesday night, the East Noble school board voted unanimously to approve Linson’s contract that began July 1 and ends June 30, 2016. The approval follows a public hearing at the July 17 board meeting on the contract’s terms, where no public comment was heard. Contract terms were published in the July 6 News Sun and posted on the school corporation’s website before the hearing. “It was a positive review (of the contract), and because there was a lack of any negative response from the public, I will support this,” said school trustee Steve Pyle. Other terms of the contract, the same as the previous contract, are: 260 work days a year; 20 vacation days; three personal days; nine sick days; a 5 percent annuity (same as certified staff); additional $3,000 annuity; $1,465 for family dental insurance; $300,000 life insurance; $399 long-term disability insurance; $4,800 mileage reimbursement, plus reimbursement at the current IRS rate for distances over 200 miles on select occasions; and $780 for cellphone service. Linson will receive $5,906 for health insurance (90 percent of the single
plan), while the previous contract was $13,287 for 100 percent of employee and spouse. The school corporation pays the superintendent’s statutorily required contribution to the Teachers Retirement Fund at 3 percent of her contract, the same as in the previous contract. Linson has been with the East Noble School Corp. for 10 years. She joined the corporation in August 2003 as East Noble High School principal and became assistant superintendent in 2008. Linson was named superintendent in the fall of 2010. In other business, trustees: • voted 5-1 to approve two-year contracts for the elementary, middle school and alternative learning center principals, East Noble High School’s two assistant principals, the middle school assistant principal and the high school director of guidance effective Aug. 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015. Pyle opposes the policy of multi-year contracts and voted against approval. • voted 5-1 to approve new 260-day contracts effective July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2015, for the high school principal and athletic director, the corporation’s business manager, assistant superintendent, director of technology and federal grants administrator. Pyle opposed the new contracts’ approval. • voted to approve new one-year contracts effective July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, for the corporation’s maintenance director, transportation director and special education coordinator.

House ready to lower student loan rates
Economy grew at sluggish pace in second quarter WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew from April through June at an annual rate of 1.7 percent — a sluggish pace but stronger than in the previous quarter. Businesses spent more, and the federal government cut less, offsetting weaker spending by consumers. The government on Wednesday sharply revised down its estimate of growth in the JanuaryMarch quarter to a 1.1 percent annual rate from a previously estimated 1.8 percent rate. Though growth remains weak, the pickup last quarter supports forecasts that the economy will accelerate in the rest of the year. Economists think businesses will step up investment, job growth will fuel more consumer spending and the drag from government cuts will fade. If so, the Federal Reserve could scale back its stimulus later this year. The April-June growth figure indicates that “the recovery is gaining momentum,” Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients.
O.J. Simpson wins small victory in bid for freedom
WASHINGTON (AP) — The cost of borrowing for college is about to drop. The House on Wednesday was expected to give final congressional approval to bipartisan legislation linking student loan interest rates to the financial markets. The impact: lower rates for most students now but higher ones down the line if the economy improves as expected. “This is a win for students and taxpayers,” said Rep. John Kline, the Republican chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. The top Democrat on that committee joined Kline on the House floor to urge
colleagues to back it. “It saves students and families money,” said Rep. George Miller, D-Calif. Undergraduates this fall would borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate for subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would borrow at 6.4 percent. The rates would be locked in for that year’s loan, but each year’s loan could be more expensive than the last. Rates would rise as the economy picks up and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money. But for now, interest payments for tuition, housing and books would be

as well as the White House preference to shift responsibility for interest rates to the financial markets. The resulting bipartisan bill passed the Senate 81-18. The earlier House-written student loan bill passed the GOP-led chamber 221-198, largely along party lines. Eight Republicans crossed party lines to vote against it; four Democrats voted in favor of it. With changes made in the Senate — most notably a cap on how interest rates could climb and locking in interest rates for the life of each year’s loan — Democrats were expected to join Republicans and back the bill. Interest rates would not top 8.25 percent for
undergraduates. Graduate students would not pay rates higher than 9.5 percent, and parents’ rates would top out at 10.5 percent. Using Congressional Budget Office estimates, rates would not reach those limits in the next 10 years. Even with those protections not all Democrats will back it, cautioned House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. She said this “isn’t the bill we would have written, but it is a bill that can pass and will have Democrats voting for and against.” The White House has endorsed the deal, despite objections from consumer advocates that the proposal could cost future students.
With 3 ‘hops,’ NSA gets millions of phone records
AP
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — O.J. Simpson won a small victory Wednesday in his bid for freedom as Nevada granted him parole on some of his 2008 convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery involving the holdup of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel room. But the decision doesn’t mean Simpson will be leaving prison anytime soon. The former NFL star was convicted on multiple charges and still faces at least four more years behind bars on sentences that were ordered to run consecutively. The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners released its decision in favor of Simpson’s parole request Wednesday. Commissioners noted Simpson’s “positive institutional record” and his participation in programs addressing “behavior that led to incarceration.” “We expected it,” Patricia Palm, one of Simpson’s current lawyers, told The Associated Press shortly after the order was issued.
less expensive if the House passes the bill, as expected. The next step would be to send it to the White House, where President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law. The chamber earlier this year passed legislation that is similar to what the Senate later passed. Both versions link interest rates to 10-year Treasury notes and remove Congress’ annual role in determining rates. “Campaign promises and political posturing should not play a role in the setting of student loan interest rates,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. “Borrowers deserve better.” Negotiators of the Senate compromise were mindful of the House-passed version,
President Barack Obama responds to a reporter’s question as he leaves a meeting with Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday.
Obama seeks to soothe antsy Democrats WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sought to calm jittery Democrats Wednesday as they prepared to head home to face voters, assuring them they’re “on the right side of history” despite problems with the launch of his massive health care overhaul and an immigration fight with Republicans. In back-to-back closed sessions with House and Senate Democrats, Obama delivered his broad message about economic prosperity and expanding the middle class. But in return he was confronted with questions from Democrats who are nervous about implementation of the health care law as they look ahead to town hall meetings during the August recess — and to midterm elections next year. The meetings at the Capitol offered a rare chance for the party’s rank and file to press the president about budget talks with Republicans, the next chairman of the Federal Reserve and local jobs projects, as well as to appeal to him for help in next year’s campaigns. In a lighter moment, House Democrats presented Obama with a birthday cake. He turns 52 on Sunday. The White House is seeking to keep up enthusiasm among
Democrats following a rough start to Obama’s second term. He has gained an agreement in the Senate to get at least some long-blocked nominees confirmed, and the Senate has passed its version of sweeping immigration legislation. But the immigration overhaul faces a deeply uncertain future in the Republican-led House, where many in the GOP oppose a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. Obama’s landmark health care law continues to baffle many Americans, and the administration failed to assuage the public when it abruptly announced this month that it would delay a major provision requiring employers to provide coverage due to concerns about complexity. While major provisions of the overall bill kick in Jan. 1, uninsured people will be able to start shopping for health plans on Oct. 1, and some Democrats are wary about the system being ready. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire said that in her state there is not enough competition because only one company had entered into the health care exchange.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s national security team acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that, when investigating one suspected terrorist, it can read and store the phone records of millions of Americans. Since it was revealed recently that the National Security Agency puts the phone records of every American into a database, the Obama administration has assured the nation that such records are rarely searched and, when they are, officials target only suspected international terrorists. But testimony before Congress on Wednesday showed how easy it is for Americans with no connection to terrorism to unwittingly have their calling patterns analyzed by the government. It hinges on what’s known as “hop” or “chain”
analysis. When the NSA identifies a suspect, it can look not just at his phone records, but also the records of everyone he calls, everyone who calls those people and everyone who calls those people. If the average person called 40 unique people, three-hop analysis would allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans when investigating one suspected terrorist. The NSA has said it conducted 300 searches of its telephone database last year. Left unsaid until Wednesday was that three-hop analysis off those searches could mean scrutinizing the phone records of tens or even hundreds of millions of people. “So what has been described as a discrete program, to go after people who would cause us harm, when you look at the reach of this program, it envelopes
a substantial number of Americans,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. John Inglis, the NSA’s deputy director, conceded the point but said NSA officials “try to be judicious” about conducting hop analysis. “And so while, theoretically, 40 times 40 times 40 gets you to a large number, that’s not typically what takes place,” he said. “We have to compare the theory to the practice.” Such reassurances have done little to quell the sharp criticism from both parties over the once-secret program. Last week saw a close vote in the House on a measure that aimed to kill the phone surveillance program. On Wednesday, the administration acknowledged some limitations to its sweeping surveillance powers are inevitable.

Starting Aug. 6, teams will weigh in and have the opportunity to listen to speakers on topics related to achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Weigh ins are scheduled for Aug. 6, Aug. 27, Sept. 24, Oct. 29 and Nov. 26. Participants can weigh in at the Cole YMCA from 6:30-8 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. or 4:30-6:30 p.m. Teams must attend the first and last weigh in over the four month competition and can miss only one other weigh in. Any additional missed weigh ins will result in disqualification of the entire team. During the competition, participants will be able to use the Cole YMCA one time per week if they are not a YMCA member. Cost to participate is $40 per team and participants do not need to be YMCA members. The team with the highest percentage of weight lost will receive prizes and a six month YMCA membership. Teams may sign up through the time of weigh ins on Aug. 6. More information is available from Ryan Ferguson at the Cole YMCA. “At the Cole YMCA, we know that the combination of knowledge about health and wellness and the access to these opportunities is essential to increasing healthier habits and active living in youth, adults and families,” said Weimer. “We are excited to present a community wide event to teach participants the keys to a healthy lifestyle and tips that will help in the journey to lead a healthy active life.” We encourage friends and family members to create teams in this low-cost team challenge. The program will help instill healthy habits and knowledge that will help people to begin and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Studies show the positive impact of exercise on both physical and mental health and well being. The program’s support system should prove to be invaluable on people’s health and wellness journey. We believe that once people experience the increased sense of well being that comes from good nutrition and an active lifestyle, they will want to continue along the wellness path.

Veteran returning to Omaha Beach to honor fallen buddies World War II D-Day veteran Gene Cogan never tires of telling everyone he meets to always remember the sacrifices made by the thousands of GIs killed and wounded defeating Nazi tyranny in Europe. He describes the undying gratitude of the French people who pay homage to American veterans like himself returning to France to visit the battle sites and memorials and join in remembrance celebrations. Cogan, 90, of Avilla, is making one last visit to Omaha Beach this month to place a bronze plaque at a memorial near Omaha Beach. The retired school administrator will travel alone to the small French village of Vierville-Sur-Mer in Normandy on Aug. 16 to place the plaque he had made on an old stone wall in memory of Sgt. Thomas Stevenson of New York City and Sgt. David Kehl of Moses Lake, Wash. Stevenson, Kehl and Cogan were members of the 3rd platoon, Company D, 115th regiment of the U.S. Army’s 29th Division. They were in the second wave that landed on Omaha Beach. Stevenson was killed on July 16, 1944 in St. Lo. Kehl was wounded, sent back to the U.S., honorably discharged and went on to have a very successful and rewarding life. He passed away in 1995. Cogan kept in close contact with him. Cogan was wounded twice by German gunfire and lay injured overnight beyond the beach until he was found the next day. He was sent back to the U.S., honorably discharged and went into school administration including principal at LaOtto and
Avilla schools. In June 2004 Cogan joined other World War II veterans on a trip to Normandy to celebrate the 60th anniversary of D-Day. While visiting ViervilleSur-Mer near Omaha Beach that became a supply depot for the 29th division during the invasion, Cogan met Carol Duvall, a village resident. Her father was 10 years old when he was befriended by GIs who liberated his village. INSIDE Duvall has been ever COMMENT grateful for that, and became a member of a French organization called Dennis Nartker Deep Respect. Its goal is to restore the monuments dotted around the French countryside dedicated to the U.S. troops. Duvall and Cogan met again in 2011 at a 29th division reunion in Virginia, and again in February this year when Cogan spoke at a remembrance program in Vierville-Sur-Mer. She was also instrumental in Cogan receiving the French Legion of Honor last year. On this trip to the French village Cogan is taking with him the 13-pound, 12-inch by 12-inch plaque. He will place it in the 300-foot stone wall that has become a memorial to the 29th division. Hite Funeral Home in Kendallville and Ley’s Monuments in Avilla purchased the plaque for him. A French film company is planning to make a documentary about D-Day for the 70th anniversary in 2014, and they may

interview Cogan. Duvall plans to videotape his visit for him. He will also spend time with his son who lives in Germany. “This will be my last trip,” he said, when asked if he plans to return for the 70th anniversary celebrations. Cogan will be 91 on Dec. 7. He’s enjoyed good health and a clear mind all his life, and still plays golf when his back isn’t bothering him. “I’ve been blessed, really blessed. I was so fortunate I didn’t die that day long ago,” he said. DENNIS NARTKER is a reporter for The News Sun. He can be reached at dennisn@kpcnews. net.

Many Midwesterners have a special appreciation for our trees. Majestic tree canopies bring character and beauty to our cities. For many, trees connect the past with the present and often carry memories and emotions. Unfortunately, when not properly placed or pruned, trees pose a significant threat to maintaining electric power to your home and beyond. Thunderstorms often offer reminders of what happens when trees and power lines intersect. Indiana Michigan Power strives to balance property owners’ love of their trees with our vital mission of providing safe and reliable electric power. That means trimming or removing trees near our power lines.
To preserve both tree canopies and reliable delivery of power, we seek to trim or remove trees before they pose a threat to power lines and poles. This summer you may well see I&M crews Marc Labrie or those of our contractors in your neighborhood. The process starts even before the work crews arrive — unless there is an emergency, I&M informs affected property owners in advance of any work to be performed. We emphasize open communications with customers, sending a letter to every property owner along the appropriate lines — even if trees in their yards are not
Guest Column • affected. Our planners make multiple attempts to meet with property owners to discuss the work. If we haven’t been able to make contact with a property owner, we follow up with cards placed on doorknobs of homes. Let’s be frank: Some residents are less than happy about how much we reduce a tree canopy. We make every effort to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the trees while adhering to the accepted safety standards of the American National Standards Institute as well as OSHA: • For single distribution lines that go through cities and down country roads, we maintain a minimum 10-foot clearance on each side of the power line. • Where three lines carry
power, the standard is 15 feet. • Sometimes, we trim fast-growing trees such as the silver maple or the willow back farther, to keep them from growing into the power line for the next three to five years. Trees in the public right-of-way — usually the area between a street and sidewalk — are a different matter, because those are generally under control of the city or town. Residents of municipalities should check with their parks or other appropriate department with any questions about planting, removing or trimming trees in the right-of-way. If you are considering planting a tree, remember that some trees that were once in favor — including the Bradford pear and the ash — are now considered problem trees or worse. The National Arbor Day
Thunderstorms often offer reminders of what happens when trees and power lines intersect.
• Foundation offers guidance on planting appropriate trees (see arborday.org and click on “Right Tree, Right Place.”) Residents within I&M’s service area with questions about trees can call 800-311-4634 (in Michigan, 800-311-6424.) And before planting a tree, always call the 811 Call Before You Dig line. MARC LABRIE is Regional Forestry Supervisor for Indiana Michigan Power.

accepts donation Salad mix linked to outbreak Rowling for revelation of identity Origin of illness remains unclear LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nearly 400 people across the country have been sickened by cyclospora, a lengthy intestinal illness usually contracted by eating contaminated food. But if you’re looking to find out exactly where it came from, you may be out of luck. Federal officials warned Wednesday that it was too early to say whether the outbreak of the rare parasite reported in at least 15 states was over. Health officials in Nebraska and Iowa say they’ve traced cases there to prepackaged salad. They haven’t revealed the company that packaged the salad or where it was sold, explaining only that most if not all of it wasn’t grown locally. The lack of information has fueled concern from consumers and food safety
advocates who argue that companies should be held accountable when outbreaks happen and customers need the information about where outbreaks came from to make smart food choices. “If you want the free market to work properly, then you need to let people have the information they need to make informed decisions,� said Bill Marler, a Seattle attorney who specializes in class-action food-safety lawsuits. Mark Hutson, who owns a Save-Mart grocery story in Lincoln, Neb., said he was unaware of customers who had raised concern about the product, which was unusual in situations involving foodborne illnesses. But Hutson said the lack of specific brand information threatened to hurt all providers, including the
good actors who did nothing wrong. “I think there was so little information as to what was causing the problem, that people just weren’t sure what to do,â€? he said. “Frankly, we would prefer to have the names out there.â€? Authorities said they still hadn’t determined whether the cases of cyclospora in the different states are connected. “It’s too early to say for sure whether it’s over, and thus too early to say there’s no risk of still getting sick,â€? said MarĂa-BelĂŠn Moran, spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Only Iowa and Nebraska officials had directly linked the outbreak in their states to a salad mix of iceberg and romaine lettuce, carrots and red cabbage. But grocery shoppers elsewhere acknowledged it was a factor as they shopped for

produce. “I can’t say I really want to go and buy particularly any lettuce right now,� said Laura Flanagan, 35, who was shopping at a Whole Foods in Dallas with her two young children. “I’m being pretty cautious about it.� The product was widely distributed in Iowa by wholesalers who could have supplied the bagged salad mix to all types of food establishments, including restaurants and grocery stores, said Iowa Food and Consumer Safety Bureau chief Steven Mandernach. Mandernach said at least 80 percent of the vegetables were grown and processed outside both Iowa and Nebraska. He said officials haven’t confirmed the origins of 20 percent and may never know because victims can’t always remember what they ate.
LONDON (AP) — Author J.K. Rowling accepted an apology and a charitable donation Wednesday from a law firm which revealed she wrote a crime novel under a Rowling pseudonym. The “Harry Potter� author was exposed by a newspaper on July 14 as the author of “The Cuckoo’s Calling,� a thriller ostensibly written by former soldier and first-time novelist Robert Galbraith. The book was published in April to good reviews but modest sales, and there was speculation that Rowling or her publisher had leaked the news to raise the book’s profile. But the law firm Russells, which has done work for
Rowling, acknowledged that one of its partners had let the information slip to his wife’s best friend, who tweeted it to a Sunday Times columnist. Rowling sued the lawyer and the friend. Her attorney, Jenny Afia, told Britain’s High Court on Wednesday that Rowling had been left “angry and distressed that her confidences had been betrayed.� “As a reflection of their regret for breach of the claimant’s confidence, including frustrating the claimant’s ability to continue to write anonymously under the name Robert Galbraith, the defendants are here today to apologize publicly to the claimant,� Afia said. Russells agreed to reimburse Rowling’s legal costs and to make a “substantial� donation to The Soldiers’ Charity, which helps former military personnel and their families.

ROUNDTABLE: Collaboration in county noted FROM PAGE A1
He advocated for a partnership between industry and schools to create a curriculum that benefits career pathways in this region. “We really believe that Indiana’s prosperity should be built on foundations of education,” Pence said. “I’m determined to make career vocational education a priority in every high school in Indiana. We want to work with employees to identify where the real needs are for skill sets and try to steer adults into that kind of education.” Rick Sherck, executive director for the Noble County Economic Develop-
ment Corp., agreed, saying, “We’ve got to get education back on board to encourage people to go out and get jobs.” In other strategies, Pence said Indiana’s new budget held increases in spending at 2.5 percent. Indiana is expected to have $100 million in surplus annually over the biennial budget. Pence also said the state income tax this year was lowered by 5 percent, and he hopes to shrink state regulations to make them more pro-business. In addition, $800 million was just set aside for infrastructure, including $200 million for local streets
and roads. “If you’re going to be the crossroads of America, you better have the real roads to back that up,” Pence said. The governor praised the collaboration between city and county economic groups in Kendallville. “This is a great county and a great city, and you all are the reason why,” Pence said. “This is a community that is not only holding its own, but is also moving forward.” Courier Corp., based in North Chelmsford, Mass., operates Courier Digital Solutions and Courier Kendallville Inc., also in the East Industrial Park.

congratulated Kendallville and Campbell & Fetter Bank for the 150th milestones. Pence then moved to the Courier Digital Solutions plant in the East Industrial Park, where he briefly examined a recently installed
Hewlett Packard T410 digital color inkjet web press before hosting an industrial leadership roundtable at the plant with a group of local plant managers, city, county and state elected officials and city and county economic development
corporation representatives. The governor praised Courier Corp. for its investment in Kendallville, saying, “It’s a successful example of city and county governments working together with private industry.” (See related story).
KENDALLVILLE — A strong chemical odor led police to one of the largest active meth-making operations ever seen in Kendallville — with several one-pot meth labs inside a Pleasant Street house — resulting in the arrests of five Kendallville people on drug charges Tuesday night, Kendallville police said. Those arrested on drug charges including manufacturing methamphetamine are: Robert Williams Jr., 40, of the 1800 block of Oak Tree Road, Kendallville; and Holly Coleman, 37, Jeremy Coleman, 41, Shannon Sizemore, 37, and Heather Smith, 35, all of the 400 block of Pleasant Street, Kendallville. All were booked into the Noble County Jail. At about 8:24 p.m., police received a tip of a strong chemical odor coming from the house on Pleasant Street., a police news release said. Officers Glen Hurst, Nathaniel Stahl and Matt Haber responded to the scene and identified the odor associated with an active meth lab. The house is in a residential neighborhood not far from the East Noble High School campus. Police contacted the
Courier’s Kendallville employees for their efforts in maintaining successful operations in the Marion Drive plant while also making the Courier Digital Solutions operations start-up a success.
ANGOLA — Three northeast Indiana residents were arraigned Wednesday on a variety of charges related to a methamphetamine sting that occurred late Tuesday and early Wednesday.

residents and obtained consent to search the house, where they allegedly found precursors used in the manufacture of meth along with suspected meth. Officers then obtained a search warrant from the Noble County prosecutor’s office and Noble Superior Court. A more extensive search of the house uncovered a large amount of items used in the manufacture of meth, including 13 one-pot manufacturing containers and 52 hydrochloric acid generators, police said. Some pots contained several pots put together. Approximately 10 trash bags were found containing discarded containers and packaging from items used in the meth-making process, according to police. “It’s one of the largest meth manufacturing operations we’ve seen here since I have been chief,” said Kendallville police chief Rob Wiley. Officers from the Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Unit and a Kendallville police meth recovery officer were called to the house, where they spent about three hours sorting and collecting items connected to the manufacture of meth. The Noble County Sheriff’s
agencies went to the home of Dickerson in Hudson, where they found meth being made in the garage and other items associated with meth, court documents said. Because the residence is within 1,000 feet of a town park, many of the charges were enhanced. Hicks, was charged with manufacturing meth within 1,000 feet of a public park, a Class A felony, and possession of two or more chemicals or reagents with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public park, a Class C felony. Hicks is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and is facing up to 58 years in prison. Benjamin Nordmann was
appointed counsel for Hicks. Schimpf was charged with Class A felony aiding in manufacturing of meth within 1,000 feet of a public park. She also is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond and is facing up to 50 years in prison. Anthony Kraus was appointed as her attorney. Dickerson was charged with Class B felony possession of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public park, Class A felony maintaining a common nuisance and Class A misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. She is facing nearly 25 years in prison. Her bail was set at $50,000, and she told Wheat she plans to hire her own attorney.

Trading fatigues for football INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Josh McNary spent years training to call the shots in artillery fields at Fort Hood. Turns out the 25-year-old Army fire direction officer really wanted a different mission. On Tuesday, McNary took advantage of his early release from the Army after more than two years of active-duty service and officially traded his fatigues for pads and an Indianapolis Colts helmet. He hopes to catch on as a linebacker. “Basically, I just said, ‘Hi, I’m Josh McNary’ and I told them a little bit about of what I did,” McNary said Wednesday morning, describing the introduction to his new band of brothers. “Coach (Chuck Pagano) pretty much
hit on the few topics about the translatable qualities that the Army has that also can be applied on the football field — those character traits, the accountability of yourself and holding your brothers in arms accountable. But he kept it in perspective, he acknowledged the fact that this is a game, and that’s not really a game, in the Army. It was a heck of a speech.” For McNary and his family, this is a heck of a change. McNary’s father, George, was a captain in the Marines; both of McNary’s grandfathers fought in wars, and McNary’s uncle is a first major in the Army. So when the high school kid enrolled at West Point, his destiny seemed clear: Army officer. But along the way, McNary
developed into a top-flight football player. Scouts remember him as the former walk-on who left Army as the school’s career leader in sacks (28.0) and tackles for loss (49.0), the kid who won the Pat Tillman Award at the 2011 East-West Shrine Game and the guy who might have been drafted later that year if he wasn’t staring at 24 months — or more — away from the game. Back then, the book on McNary said he was undersized at 6-feet, 230 pounds, though he compensated with quick feet, good balance and reliable tackling. Two years of Army work turned him into a ball of muscle, whose passion for the game never changed. SEE COLTS, PAGE B2

AMERICAN LEAGUE CLEVELAND...............................6 CHICAGO WHITE SOX.......5
CLEVELAND (AP) — Carlos Santana’s leadoff home run in the 10th inning gave the Cleveland Indians their seventh straight win, a 6-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. Santana hit a 3-2 pitch from Dylan Axelrod (3-7) into the right field seats for Cleveland’s ninth walkoff win of the season. The crowd of 22,258 roared when the ball reached the seats and Santana threw his helmet in the air as he reached home plate and was mobbed his teammates. Chris Perez (4-1) hit Adam Dunn with a pitch with two outs in the 10th, but struck out Paul Konerko to end the inning as Chicago lost its sixth straight game.

Cincinnati Reds starter Homer Bailey works against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
The Reds took a 4-1 victory. Bailey allowed just one run and struck out seven.
Back to winning Bailey takes shutout into 9th in 4-1 Reds win SAN DIEGO (AP) — Homer Bailey gave the struggling Cincinnati Reds exactly what they needed. The right-hander came within two outs of a five-hit shutout to end his four-start losing streak and the Reds beat the San Diego Padres 4-1 Wednesday to snap a five-game skid. Brandon Phillips homered and Joey Votto hit a two-run double for the Reds, who avoided a three-game sweep and ended San Diego’s four-game winning streak. “Before the game I said the law of averages were on our side to win on the road, and for Homer to win,” manager Dusty Baker said. “It’s been a long time since he’s won. There were some big hits that we got today that we have been missing the past few days.
“It’s great to have a great flight home, have a great day off and sort of take it easy and lick our wounds, so to speak, and get back at it again,” Baker said. The performance by Bailey was just what the Reds needed to end a 10-game West Coast trip on a positive note. Not only had the Reds lost five straight after winning the first four games of the trip, but Bailey hadn’t won since throwing the second no-hitter of his career July 2 at home against San Francisco. Three of his four losses since then had come on the road. Bailey had allowed just five singles going into the ninth, when Everth Cabrera reached on a fielding error by first baseman Votto leading off the inning. He got Chris Denorfia to fly out
before Chase Headley doubled in Cabrera. Baker pulled Bailey, and Aroldis Chapman got the final two outs for his 25th save in 29 chances. “It’s good to get a win,” Bailey said. “We didn’t want to come in here and get swept. We’ve been playing and pitching really well; just trying to go out there and end this trip on a good note.” Bailey said he felt fine going into the ninth. “I cooled down a little bit when they changed pitchers. I definitely wished I could have finished that one,” Bailey said. “But you got a pretty good closer coming in behind me.” Bailey (6-10) allowed six hits and one unearned run, struck out seven and walked none in the victory.
DETROIT (AP) — Stephen Strasburg was keeping the Detroit Tigers in check through five innings, holding their potent lineup to only one run. The young right-hander made one mistake — leaving a fastball out over the plate — and Alex Avila took advantage. Avila hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the sixth, lifting Detroit to a 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. “I pitched well, minus one pitch,” Strasburg said. “That was supposed to be a fastball away, but it came back over the plate and he put a good swing on it.” Strasburg (5-9) allowed five runs, six hits and three walks while striking out seven over seven innings. “I thought he pitched great,” Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. “He just made one mistake and Avila crushed it. Until that inning, the way he was cruising, I thought we might get nine innings out of him.” Anibal Sanchez (9-7) gave up one run, five hits and two walks over seven innings for Detroit. Jose Veras, a day after being acquired from Houston, was perfect in the eighth in his Tigers debut. Joaquin Benoit, who will keep his job as the team’s closer, gave up one hit in the ninth inning. The AL Central-leading Tigers have won four straight and eight of nine to move 15 games over .500 for the first time this season. Sanchez is 9-1 in his career against the Nationals, and with a 1.99 ERA he leads all pitchers who have made at least 15 starts against them. “When you’re facing a guy like Strasburg, you may get one pitch all game to do something,” Avila said. Jhonny Peralta also homered deep into the right-field seats to give the Tigers a 5-1 lead.
Swanson on top again in AMS sprint cars BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — Defending Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series champion Joe Swanson led every lap of Saturday’s feature event for the group at Angola Motorsports Speedway, while Mike Kugler drove to victory in The Gunslinger for super late models. Kale Asztalos (late model sportsman) and Darwin Wolfe (modifieds) picked up their first feature wins of the season, with other victories going to Nick Spears (mini stocks) and J.J. Schafer (street stocks). Swanson has been dominant in the last three events for the HOSS series at AMS; he also won last September’s race by the group and finished second during the June 2012 event. Swanson started on the pole and beat Tyler Rohrig into the first turn. Only former Hoss champ Tim Cox would challenge, pulling close on lap 22 of the 30-lap feature. But Swanson was able to pull ahead

Tyler Roarig fourth and Kyle Henry fifth. Heat race winners were Henry and Hank Lower.
The HOSS group makes its next appearance at Angola Speedway on Sept. 1. It will be the final points race of the season for the group. The Gunslinger race for the super late models pitted the Angola drivers against those from the dirt racing ranks. Tennessee driver Dustin Stutts did lead a portion of the event, but Kugler, the 2011 AMS champ in the class, took the victory for the speedway’s regulars. Robby Henderson and Michigan dirt driver Linc Stevens made up the front row for The Gunslinger. Henderson led until third-starting Stutts slipped underneath on lap 4, taking John Gearhart and Jack Landis with him. The trio would go three-abreast into turn 1 on the ninth circuit, with Landis and Stutts both spinning. The turn of events sent Stutts to the pits and Landis to the tail for the restart.

Gearhart, Kugler and Brent Jack would take their turns at the front of the field until Kugler took over for good on a lap 21 restart. The top five at the finish were Kugler, Jack, Landis, Tim Ryan and Gearhart. Mark Dowdy was the top finishing dirt driver, placing sixth. Kugler was doing double duty, also competing in the late model sportman class, where he leads the standings.

In the modified feature, points leader Zach Henderson led until Wolfe pulled ahead on an early restart. Henderson held on to finish second, ahead of 2011 champion Brad Springer, Erik Schaeffer and six-time winner Jason Timmerman. In the mini stocks, Spears set a track record for the class and held off division points leader Kyle Moonen to record the win. Terry
Lake, Jimmy Musser and Allen Tink completed the top five. The street stock win went to Schafer, over Chad Minnix, Tanner Tallarico, Brandon Pulver and points leader Cam Schoeck. Six divisions will be in competition this Saturday, including the Everage Auto.com Super Late Models, Shepherd’s Chevy, Buick, GMC Late Model Sportsman, Superior Auto Modifieds, Randy’s Trannys Plus Street Stocks, Smith Enterprises Mini Stocks and GLS Super Mini Cup Series. Kale Asztalos won the late model sportsman feature at AMS on Saturday. JAMES FISHER
Colts coaches were so impressed, they signed him as a free agent in April. “I think over the years that he was with the military, he learned a lot of command,” defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said. “He was doing a lot of things. I think he’s a good football player and we’ll see what he can do when he gets out there.” What he brings is a wealth of real-world experience rarely seen on NFL rosters. He worked as a graduate assistant at West Point following his playing career and mastered the art of building bonds with colleagues and teammates in stops at the U.S. Military Academy Prep School, the U.S. Military Academy and stints at Fort Sill in Oklahoma and Fort Hood
in Texas. He fits in with an unusual corps of Colts rookie linebackers that includes German-born Bjoern Werner, Indy’s first-round draft pick, and Daniel Adongo, an African rugby player who has never played a down of American football. The youngsters will be mentored five-time Pro Bowler Robert Mathis. And though his family’s professional choice has usually been military service, McNary acknowledges he has plenty of support on the home front. “They recognize this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” he said. “All through college my dad’s concentration was on academics and military sort of things, and he likes the fact that I’m an officer. He encouraged me to follow that, but they support me in this.” The Army is helping, too.
As of 2008, the Defense Department allows some service members who were required to serve five years of active duty to apply for an early release after two years if they were participating in pro sports. If granted, those getting the release were required to serve in the military reserves and pay back part of their education cost. McNary said he must spend six more years in the reserves though the job will not impact what he does with the Colts — if he makes the team. When the all-clear came finally Monday, McNary wasted no time getting back to work. He arrived Monday night, passed his physical Tuesday morning and was hitting pads and players Tuesday afternoon. All McNary has to do now is fulfill his mission by making the team.

Just when it was looking like the 2013 Sprint Cup season was one that Ryan Newman just as soon forget, it turned into one he’ll always remember for a magical weekend in July. When Newman left New Hampshire Motor Speedway after the July 14 race leading up to the midsummer break, he was having to deal with the news that he was losing his ride in the No. 39 Chevrolet at Stewart-Haas Racing and the fact that he’d been in a crash that left him 39th at New Hampshire and seemingly out of the running for a Chase berth. But when the South Bend, Ind., native arrived at his home-state track, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for the Samuel Deeds 400 at the Brickyard, his fortunes took a 180-degree turnaround. He won the pole, the 50th of his career, with a track record lap of 187.531 miles per hour. Then in the race, he outdueled four-time Indy winner Jimmie Johnson to get his first win at Indianapolis. It was the 17th of his career, and it put him right back in the running for a Chase berth. He’s now 16th in the standings, 25 points away from 10th place, but his Brickyard win puts him squarely in the running for a wild card Chase berth. As the reality of Newman’s accomplishment began to sink in, it was the past — his and Indy’s — that seemed to be foremost on his mind. “I don’t show a lot of emotion,” he said. “I had the same emotion, the same thankfulness I did when I won the Daytona 500. I feel everybody that has been a part of my racing career, from people that bought my racing uniform, bought me a rightrear tire, gave us a credit card to get to some race track at some point in my career ... those are the people that helped me get to where I am today.” Newman mentioned his parents, his sister, his crew chief, Matt Borland, former Penske team president Don

'DOH (DUQKDUGW -U ÀQLVKHG VL[WK DW WKH %ULFN\DUG Dale Earnhardt Jr. overcame a loose wheel that dropped him to 43rd in the running order just after the drop of the green flag to finish sixth in the Brickyard 400. But it was the death of his uncle, Randy Earnhardt, earlier in the day that weighed the most on his mind as he raced at Indy. Randy Earnhardt, brother of the late Dale Earnhardt, died after a battle with cancer. “It was really tough,” Earnhardt said of racing so soon after his uncle’s death. “He helped me through a lot of challenges when I was trying to become a race car driver. He was there when I started driving Late Models. I went through the whole process of racing with Tony (Eury Sr.) and all of them through the Bud car. “Randy was always there. I hurt for Mamaw [Martha Earnhardt] and Randy’s brother and sisters, Danny, Kaye and Cathy.” Earnhardt said his uncle worked hard to ensure that his late brother’s treasured racing items weren’t lost after the demise of the race shops at Dale Earnhardt Inc. “After I left [DEI] and everything kind of went away, he stuck around,” Earnhardt said. “He was loyal to Dad, and really looked after everything that was there and that was my father’s and what would have been important to him as far as material things. “Randy really looked after that.” Earnhardt said losing someone so close to him is difficult. “It is part of life, and it is hard to get used to,” he said. “I am just glad his suffering is over with. He was having a real hard time. I loved him dearly, and will miss him a lot.”
All 43 starting drivers finish Brickyard 400 Starting and parking is a common occurrence in NASCAR racing, with struggling teams often running just a few laps and collecting significant pay for doing so. But in Sunday’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, all 43 drivers ran the entire race, something that hasn’t happened since 2008, according to several statistics released after the race. The reason for so many finishers at Indy could lie in the payoff. Timmy Hill was the lowest on the pay scale on Sunday, but he still earned $121,170 for his 42ndplace effort. Compare that with the previous Cup race, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Mike Bliss was the low-wage-earner with $53,175 for a 43rd-place finish that had all the markings of a start-and-park effort. He ran 75 laps before dropping out, citing rear gear issues.
Ford to pull out of NHRA after 2014
NUMERICALLY SPEAKING
Insiders in the NASCAR garage are trying to figure out just what to make of Ford Motor Co.’s surprise announcement last week that it would be getting out of professional drag racing at the end of the 2014 season. The old adage has been that for manufacturers like Ford, participation in NASCAR sells cars, while participation in NHRA drag racing sells high-performance parts. In Ford’s announcement, it was emphasized that the manufacturer still would support sportsman-level drag racing.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Twins trade catcher Drew Butera to Dodgers MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have traded catcher Drew Butera to the Los Angeles Dodgers for either a player to be named or cash. The deal was done right before the non-waiver trade deadline on Wednesday afternoon. Butera was the backup to Joe Mauer for most of the last three seasons, but he has spent all but the last week with Triple-A Rochester this year. When Mauer was out on paternity leave, Butera appeared in two games. Butera, who will turn 30 on Aug. 9, missed time because of a broken left hand earlier in the season and was hitting .229 in 83 at-bats for the Red Wings. Defense has always been his strength. In 490 career at-bats for the Twins, Butera has a .182 batting average with five home runs.
Orioles acquire Norris BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have acquired right-hander Bud Norris from the Houston Astros to help bolster a rotation that will be without injured Jason Hammel for what could be an extended period. The Orioles are sending outfielder L.J. Hoes and left-handed prospect Josh Hader to the Astros in a deal agreed to moments before Wednesday’s non-waiver trade deadline. Hammel is being placed on the 15-day disabled list with a flexor mass strain in his right forearm. He is 7-8 with a 5.20 ERA in 21 starts this season. The 28-year-old Norris was 6-9 with a 3.93 ERA for the Astros. He was making a club-high $3 million this year. In his fifth big league season, Norris is under team control through 2015. He is 34-46 with a 4.33 ERA. Hoes is one of the Orioles top prospects. A third round pick in 2008, Hoes was hitting .304 for Triple-A Norfolk.
Pistons’ deal done with Bucks for Brandon Jennings DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Pistons officially announced the next step in their win-now plan Wednesday, acquiring point guard Brandon Jennings from the Milwaukee Bucks for guard Brandon Knight and two other players. The Pistons also gave up two seldomused players, forward Khris Middleton and center Viacheslav Kravtsov. Detroit has signed free agents Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups and Luigi Datome this offseason after drafting shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope with the No. 8 overall pick, but it didn’t have a standout point guard until agreeing to a deal with Milwaukee. The Pistons seem to have improved their chances of ending their four-year postseason drought with a series of moves this summer. The 23-year-old Jennings averaged 17.5 points and a career-high 6.5 assists last season, ranking among the league’s top 20 in both categories, and 2.5 turnovers. The restricted free agent has agreed to a $24 million, three-year contract with the Pistons.
Ivanovic tops Cibulkova at Carlsbad CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Ana Ivanovic advanced to the second round of the Southern California Open on Wednesday, beating defending champion Dominika Cibulkova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. The seventh-seeded Ivanovic, from Serbia, won nine of the final 11 games. She used a strong ground game to overpower Cibulkova, the Slovak player coming off a victory Sunday in the Bank of the West Classic at Stanford. Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus beat Italy’s Francesca Schiavone 6-2, 6-3 in the second round. Third-seeded Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic and fourth-seeded Roberta Vinci of Italy had few problems in winning their opening matches after receiving first-round byes.

DNR offers fair activities INDIANAPOLIS — Two Indiana Department of Natural Resources favorites, Snakes Alive and the Kids Fishin’ Pond, kick off day No. 1 of the Indiana State Fair and will be offered daily, Friday through Aug. 18. Another annual favorite, the Taste of the Wild cookout, will take place on Saturday at 11 a.m. All three events will be adjacent to the air-conditioned Natural Resources Building, the hub of DNR State Fair activities. Check dnr.IN.gov/statefair for the entire DNR schedule. During Snakes Alive, interpretive naturalists from across Indiana will talk about snakes Hoosiers might find in their backyards. Start time is 10 a.m. daily at the 150-seat DNR amphitheater.
The 312,000-gallon Fishin’ Pond next to the amphitheater is packed with fish to be caught and released. Youth fishing is available most days from 9 a.m. to noon and from 4 to 7 p.m. On Friday, Aug. 2, only the evening session is offered. Parents/guardians should check the daily schedule online or in the State Fair program. New this year, kids will be able to fish with family members on Family Fishing Fridays at the Fishin’ Pond. Also featured each afternoon is a program with at least one live bird of prey. These programs take place at 4:30 p.m. every day except Saturday, when start time is 3:30 p.m. At this Saturday’s Taste of the Wild, visitors can
try samples of steelhead trout, venison, barbecued beaver, turtle soup, Asian carp and more, prepared and provided by DNR staff and volunteer groups. Taste of the Wild preparers and providers include the White River Bow Hunters Association, Indiana Deer Hunters Association, Indiana Wildlife Federation, Indianapolis Flycasters, Farmland Conservation Club, Indiana Wild Turkey Federation and Northwest Indiana Steelheaders, as well as Jim and Nancy Mahoney, and Ken and Robin Groves. Taste of the Wild, the snake show and Fishin’ Pond, like all DNR activities at the fair, are free after paying gate admission.
Get paid to go bass fishing INDIANAPOLIS — Catching black bass makes for a great recreation, but now it can line your wallet, provided you fish — and catch — in the right spots. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is tagging 500 legal-sized black bass on three rivers in central and northern Indiana as part of a new research project. Black bass includes largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. Anglers who catch a tagged bass can earn gift cards to Bass Pro Shop for $5, $10 or $25 by reporting their catches and returning tags to DNR researchers. DNR biologists are tagging black bass in the West Fork White River (Madison, Hamilton and Marion counties), Eel River
(Wabash, Miami and Cass counties), and St. Joseph River (St. Joseph and Elkhart counties) during late summer and fall. Bass will be tagged with a jaw tag stamped with a DNR phone number and serial number. When an angler catches a fish, they will need to remove the tag and either release or harvest the fish. Tags must be returned to the DNR to receive a reward, but tagged bass do not have to be kept to receive a reward. To report tagged catches, anglers must call (812) 287-8300 and provide the tag number, whether the fish was kept or released, date of catch, total length of the fish and approximate location of the catch. “The research project will
help biologists learn more about angler catch rates and fish movement in these rivers,” said DNR fisheries research biologist Sandy Clark-Kolaks. “Information gained will help us better manage these species.” The project is a partnership of the DNR and various other conservation organizations, including the Indiana Wildlife Federation, Reel Women-Reel Men of Indianapolis, Indy Flycasters, St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers, Indiana Smallmouth Alliance and Manchester College, each of which is providing administrative and financial assistance. For more information, contact Clark-Kolaks at 812-287-8300 or sclark-ko laks@dnr.IN.gov.

Deer hunting will be among the many issues facing new Indiana Department of Natural Resources Director Cameron
DNR chief’s plate full Even more unceremoniously than when he assumed the office, Rob Carter left the Indiana Department of Natural Resources director position in May. For some of us, his departure is the first bit of hope for the outdoor sports in years. Carter was only in charge for a few years, OUTDOORS but left WITH DON devastation in his wake. His adminisDon Mulligan tration is responsible for alienating every outdoor group in Indiana and reducing deer to nothing more than vermin whose only value rested on how much money they could make the state. Under Carter, outdoor sportsmen and women found themselves on the opposite side of the battlefield from the DNR time after time, instead of standing together with them to fight the anti-hunting and anti-conservation crazies. One of the great things about our democratic system, however, is that governors and their directors eventually leave, giving another administration a chance to implement their vision for the future and sometimes right the ship. When Carter left, Gov. Mike Pence appointed Cameron Clark to serve as the new director. Clark most recently served as the DNR’s chief legal counsel, a role he has held since 2011 under Carter’s directorship. Little has been said

publicly about Clark’s vision for the future of the DNR, or whether he even hunts, fishes or traps, but he is a new director, and that alone should give us all a reason to hope for the best. “My hope is to continue to increase the recreational opportunities available to Indiana citizens, particularly our children, while at the same time holding fast to our strong conservation ethic,” Clark said. Let’s all hope Clark is referring to previous administration’s conservation ethics, since so far, the Pence administration has none. In the few months sine Pence has been in office, Indiana has defied plans accepted by every other Great Lakes state to stop the invasion of Asian carp into the Great Lakes. They are also under fire for refusing to make BP comply with environmental rules as they pertain to dumping in Lake Michigan. Perhaps Clark is referring to the conservation ethics practiced by groups like the Indiana Wildlife Federation or the Indiana Bowhunters Association. If so, the future is bright for hunters and conservationists indeed. In case he is looking for some low-hanging fruit to pick and get off to a good start, here are a few items on most outdoorsmen and women’s wish list. Revisit the closure of the Port of Indiana to recreational fishermen, and this time advocate for the people you represent: sportmen and women. We lost access after the Sept. 11th bombing, despite the port being built into our mutually owned Great Lake and no history of incidents. It is easily the best, most predictable sport fishing area
in the Indiana waters of Lake Michigan, and can only be adequately fished by boat. Fix deer season. Listen to the majority and undo the endless gun seasons the Carter administration forced upon the protesting masses just to make a couple extra dollars. And while he is fixing deer seasons, Clark could update the fee schedule. Nonresident hunters pay less in Indiana than most other states to hunt deer. If we tripled the nonresident fee, it would be a win for everyone. Studies show increasing the nonresident tag fee does not translate into lower license revenue. Nonresidents grumble, but they pay it. If a few don’t come here to hunt because of the fee, others make up the difference with the higher tag price. This makes Indiana hunters happy since it means fewer nonresidents to compete with, and making us happy should be important since we not only hunt here, we vote here. This is a bigger deal every year as leasing becomes a permanent part of the sport, and outdoor writers around the country keep talking about Indiana as “the next big sleeper state for a record book buck.” Director Clark likely has a lot to focus on in the first several months of his administration, and not all of it has to do with hunting and fishing. When he gets around to us, let’s hope we are at least listened to this time around. DON MULLIGAN writes Outdoors with Don for this newspaper. He can be reached at outdoor swithdon@aol.com.

Pets on planes often suffer rough rides DEAR ABBY: I travel a lot in my work with animal protection. Often I’ll encounter dogs and cats in distress as soon as I reach the airport. Distracted by their own thoughts, their owners seldom realize they’re upsetting the pets they’re carrying through the terminal. Animal carriers are carelessly swung to and fro, banged against counters, chairs and onto the floor. Cat or dog shoulder bags are dangled at angles that make it impossible for the animal inside to balance. These poor pets can be confused, dizzy and suffer from motion sickness before the flight even takes off. Traveling is stressful enough for animals. So please, everyone — if you fly with an animal companion, keep it foremost in your thoughts. Use a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier,

DEAR ABBY: A few months ago my mother joined Facebook and I readily
accepted her friend request. I’m a 30-something IT specialist, but Mom is new to the Internet. There are times I have gone online and seen posts in which my mother is arguing with my friends about their lifestyles. I have friends and business contacts from all over the world, and their backgrounds are highly varied as are their belief and value systems. I have told Mom in private and public discussions that she owes someone an apology, but she shrugs it off. Am I wrong for asking her to respect my friends, and would you suggest I “unfriend” my mother until she learns proper Internet etiquette? — DIGITAL FAMILY MAN DEAR FAMILY MAN: Because what your mother is doing could negatively affect your business, you should do EXACTLY that.

New study casts doubt on fish oil supplements omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. The other group took “dummy” pills that contained olive oil.

This new study was a very strong one, but it can be criticized. For example, there is evidence that olive oil also is heart-healthy. If the truth

is that both fish oil capsules and olive oil capsules can protect the heart, then perhaps the study would have been more convincing if fish oil were compared to a capsule with a substance not thought to be heart-healthy. Nevertheless, based on this study, I wouldn’t rely on fish oil pills to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, taking fish oil capsules is not the same thing as eating fish. There is very strong evidence that people who regularly eat fish have lower rates of heart disease. Multiple well-done studies have shown that a diet including fish leads to lower rates of heart disease and stroke. So I advise my patients to keep eating fish, especially fatty fish that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Examples of fatty fish include salmon, sardines, mackerel, char and halibut.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have risk factors for heart disease. I’ve been dutifully taking fish oil supplements for years to reduce my risk of a heart attack. Now I read that they don’t help. Should I stop taking them? DEAR READER: Fish oil, loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, has garnered a reputation as an easy way to protect the heart. But a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that fish oil pills don’t reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at increased risk. The new study focused on about 12,500 people who never had a heart attack or stroke. But they had high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease or other factors that increased their risk. Study participants were randomly divided into two groups. One group took a daily capsule containing
B5
take an omega-3 supplement. At low to moderate doses (1,000 milligrams or less per day), this appears to be quite safe. Since fish oil has a mild blood-thinning effect, check with your doctor if you’re also taking a blood thinner as well as fish oil capsules. In the meantime, stick to proven ways to lower your chance of heart attack and stroke: • Quit smoking. • Exercise more. • Eat smaller portions. • Decrease saturated fats and eliminate trans fats. • Keep your blood pressure in the normal range, with medicines if needed. • Lower your LDL cholesterol with medication if needed. • Ask your doctor if you should take a baby aspirin.
