Sanitarian placed on administrative leave GOOD MORNING

BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — Noble County’s septic sanitarian has been placed on administrative leave and apparently was banned Monday from entering any county building except the Noble County Courthouse. “Jack Chronister is on administrative leave with pay,” Noble County health officer Dr. Terry Gaff said in a telephone interview Monday, without confirming

that Chronister is the banned employee. However, Gaff said Noble County’s only other sanitarian, food sanitarian Judy Fox, remains in good standing with the department and continues in her role. Earlier Monday, the Noble County Board of Commissioners voted 2-0 to ban an unidentified health sanitarian from access to all county buildings except the courthouse. The Noble County Health Department’s offices

are in the Noble County Office Complex-South. The commissioners and their attorney, Dennis Graft, said the ban is by position and declined to identify the employee to which it applies. Gaff said Chronister was placed on leave Nov. 12 for a violation of his probationary status. Gaff did not offer details of the alleged violation. Gaff had placed Chronister on probationary status in April,

Local site named ‘shovel-ready’ for industries BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Officials from Indiana Michigan Power, the city and Noble County announced Monday that 36 acres in Kendallville’s East Industrial Park have been designated as a “shovelready” food processing and beverage industry site. The announcement follows an 11-month effort to get the site at the east end of the park certified through the Austin Shovel-Ready for Food Processing Designation Program, said Rob Cleveland, manager of economic and business development at Indiana Michigan Power. “Not every community is able to do this,” Cleveland said. “This was a test of the ability of Kendallville and Noble County to get it done.” In January, Indiana Michigan Power will begin a nationwide marketing campaign to interest a food processing and beverage industry in the site.

Noble commissioners Arc seek ‘angels’ to provide gifts OK vote centers BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The Noble County Board of Commissioners on Monday approved using vote centers for 2014 elections, but recommended a change in the plan. The commissioners voted 2-0 to allow vote centers. The proposal previously received unanimous approval from the Noble County Board of Elections, and it still must gain majority approval from the Noble County Council before it takes effect. The commissioners also recommended that the plan be revised to include an additional vote center in southern Noble County. Vote centers allow people to vote at any polling place, aiming to increase opportunities for early voting. The 2014 election will be a good time to implement vote centers, since it is in what is traditionally a lighter voting year, Noble County Clerk Shelley Mawhorter said. Of eight planned vote centers in Noble County, only one, in Merriam, is in the southern part of the county, said Commissioner Chad Kline. Kline said he agreed with the concern that absent Commissioner Dave Dolezal expressed in an email about the lack of vote centers in southern Noble County, especially in Swan Township. “There’s only one vote center south of Baseline Road. That, I have some concerns with,” Kline said, adding that determining if early voting worked well

by seeing if votes are lost in the southern part of the county isn’t a good way to do it. Mawhorter said the plan can be amended by a unanimous vote of the elections board, but the commissioners could vote only on whether to allow vote centers. “That’s what concerns me. We’re voting for this with this plan,” Kline said. “I have no problems with vote centers. My concern is the locations.” Commissioner Gary Leatherman said the centers will save the county money, and it will be better to start in 2014 with an off-year election. Vote centers will save the county $9,400 per year on poll workers, not counting mileage and food, Mawhorter said. If the council approves the plan and it remains unchanged, there would be two vote centers in Kendallville and one each in Merriam, Ligonier, Avilla, Rome City, Cromwell and Albion. Mawhorter said the plan would be discussed again by the elections board. Also Monday, commissioners: • voted 2-0 to appoint Randy Myers to a Common Construction Wage Committee for the Central Noble Community School Corp. • approved 2-0 allowing the Noble County Assessor’s office to seek bids from contractors for data analysis-appraiser work. Consultants for such work must be hired by a competitive bid process under Indiana law, Noble County attorney Dennis Graft said.

Commissioners rethinking water line easement BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — After a Monday meeting with a project engineer, the LaGrange County commissioners are rethinking where they want to run a new line along S.R. 9 to provide water for the new owners of the former Multiplex complex just north of Howe. Part of the deal that brought auto parts manufacturer Exo-s to Howe along with an estimated 400 jobs was a promise by the county that a water line would be extended to the property from the county’s Fawn River Crossing industrial park two miles to the north. The issue facing the commissioners was whether to put the new water line in an existing right-of-way along the side of the road or create a new easement farther from the road. The state lobbied the county to use a new easement, in case the state ever decides to widen the road. During their last meeting, commission president Jac Price suggested the county save the cost of engineering and buying new easements to simply “roll the dice� and use the existing right-of-way. Price added that he saw no signs the state plans to widen the road

in the near future. But prior to Monday’s presentation, Price told DLZ consulting engineer Casey Irwin his mind could be changed. The current right-of-way is somewhat full, with at least four communications lines buried within its boundaries. Other problems include terrain that would make installing the new water line more expensive, Irwin told the commissioners. Irwin said the project needs to be offered for bids by mid-December to meet its spring deadline. The commissioners voted to allow the county’s legal department to look into securing new easements and, at the same time, allow DLZ to plan for bids next month. Also Monday, the commissioners approved an annual contract with Purdue University to provide the county with its Extension educators. The commissioners approved sending eight county vehicles to an auction in December. The vehicles include a singleaxle dump truck, a Ford F250 pickup truck and three cars from the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department.

ACE Hardware opens in LaGrange BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com

LAGRANGE — Tim Graber spent years trying to imagine the perfect small-town hardware store. Last week, Graber opened the doors of what he hopes might be that store. Graber and his wife opened ACE Hardware of LaGrange store downtown at 110 S. Detroit St. in the former Big John’s Furniture store. Graber remodeled the building’s showroom space to meet the needs of LaGrange County’s newest hardware store. The Middlebury native said he first started thinking about opening his LaGrange store after talking with a family friend who had run a hardware store. “We’ve always believed that this would be a good location for an ACE Hardware store,� Graber said. “Research said brand recognition for the ACE name is strong in this area.� While many traditional hometown hardware stores have closed because of

pressure from large retailers, Graber said he believes ACE stores like his will prosper because they sell more than just hardware. “ACE stores sell service, with a friendly clerk behind the counter who knows the store and its large inventory,� he said. Before he could open his store’s doors, Graber first had to complete a five-week, ACE-sponsored course in customer care and service. He said he wants every person who enters his store to leave knowing they were well served. Graber’s new business means LaGrange has two hardware stores, but he said that should make both businesses stronger. “LaGrange is big enough to support two hardware stores, and I believe that the competition will do more to bring in customers who expect to see competitive pricing,� Graber added. Graber said he was worried about parking, but just about the time he was set to buy his building,

the town of LaGrange announced it was building a new, 14-car downtown parking lot almost across the street from his store. That helped convince him it was the right place to build his new hardware store. So far, he said, business has been good. “I just couldn’t believe the number of people who walked through the store on our opening day,� Graber said. “It was a good day, we really needed more staff.� Graber said his store will carry more than basic hardware items. A line of gas and electric appliances will serve both Amish and non-Amish customers. Ten-foot-high shelves and space-saving racks allowed Graber to pack a lot of items into a tight space. The store has more than 20,000 items on hand. “We try to put our larger items up high,� he said, pointing to the custom shelves. “We have a 4,200-square-foot store, and ACE put their 5,000-squarefoot set up in here.�

NASA launches robotic explorer to Mars CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s newest robotic explorer, Maven, rocketed toward Mars on Monday on a quest to unravel the ancient mystery of the red planet’s radical climate change. The Maven spacecraft is due at Mars next fall following a journey of more than 440 million miles. Scientists want to know why Mars went from being warm and wet during its first billion years to cold and dry today. The early Martian atmosphere was thick enough to hold water and possibly support microbial life. But much of that atmosphere may have been lost to space, eroded by the sun. Maven set off through a cloudy sky Monday afternoon in its effort to provide answers. An unmanned Atlas V rocket put the spacecraft on the proper course for Mars, and launch controllers applauded and shook hands over the success. An estimated 10,000 NASA guests gathered for the launch, the most exciting one of the year from Cape Canaveral. The University of Colorado at Boulder, which is leading the Maven effort, was represented by a couple thousand people. “We’re just excited right now,” said the university’s Bruce Jakosky, principal scientist for Maven, “and hoping for the best.” To help solve this environmental puzzle at the neighboring planet, Maven will spend an entire Earth year measuring atmospheric gases once it reaches Mars on Sept. 22, 2014. This is NASA’s 21st mission to Mars since the 1960s. But it’s the first one devoted to studying the Martian upper atmosphere.

Walk home houses extensive collections KENDALLVILLE —The Colonial Dutch home owned by Edward and Annette Weber at 439 S. Water St. will be one of the featured homes on this year’s Kendallville Christmas Walk set for Saturday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. It includes five homes and Floral Hall at the Noble County Fairgrounds. The Webers will decorate their large home with traditional and primitive items they have been collecting for the past 30 years. Mr. Weber has crafted many of the decorations and more than 20 hand-pieced and hand-quilted quilts, tree skirts and tablecloths made by Mrs. Weber’s mother and grandmother will add to the decor. The home was built in 1902 by the Macomber family. H.H. Macomber, third president of Flint & Walling, and his wife, Lena (McCray) Macomber, renovated it in 1921. It has 12 rooms and four baths. The family room features the original chandeliers and wall lights and its crowning jewel is an Italian green marble fireplace mantle and hearth. The ceiling in the formal living room has 4-inch plaster molding forming an intricate pattern and the dining room also has a unique ceiling of molded plaster leaves. The original black and white inlaid ceramic tile remain in the breakfast room. The kitchen area has a large family room with fireplace. An ornate staircase with two landings leads to the upper level which has five bedrooms and three full baths. Two mirrored doors in the hall open to 10 built-in bins. The master bedroom features a balcony. The third floor is one large room with hardwood floors and six beams in the ceiling. It was once used as a ballroom by the Macombers. It also features many built-in cupboards, bookcases and a maid’s closet. Other homes featured on the walk from 5:30-9:30 p.m. will be those of Tom and Darlene Gisel at 208 Morton St., Dennis and Pam Musselman at 237 S. Burnam St., Loren and Mary Allen at 224 S.

SITE: Kendallville offers good location for plants FROM PAGE A1

A 62-acre site in Decatur’s industrial park also has been certified. “Indiana Michigan Power is proud to lead this effort to grow Indiana’s economy with the designation of two additional Austin Food Processing sites,” Cleveland said. In addition to Kendallville and Decatur, a site in Muncie previously became certified. Austin Consulting is an objective team of location consultants helping clients identify and prioritize location factors, aiming to save them time and money. The certification will help Kendallville tap into a key economic development market, said Mayor Suzanne Handshoe. “The exhaustive process was well worth the time invested by both my team and the Noble County Economic Development Corp.,” she said.

The Kendallville site offers easy access to Norfolk and Southern rail, Interstate 69 and U.S. 6. Kendallville also has two existing food processing facilities in Kraft Foods and Performance Food Group. “Food processing companies tend to set up close together, because they know a community can handle the utility demands like water and sewer,” Cleveland said. I&M provides electrical service to Kendallville’s East Industrial Park. Cleveland said that I&M rates in Indiana are among the lowest in the country, 15 percent below the state average and 16 percent lower than the national average. Noble County Economic Development director Rick Sherck said Kendallville’s site already has been listed on the Regional Economic Development “shovelready” website and Indiana’s

“shovel-ready” website. “Shovel-ready” means the site has infrastructure and road access and is ready for development. “Austin is one the leaders in working with food processing companies to find sites,” Sherck added. Bringing a food processing company to Kendallville also would help diversify the local economy, which is heavily weighted toward machine and parts manufacturing, Sherck said. The Austin food processing designation verifies that the Kendallville site meets or exceeds the requirements for food processing operations, addressing such factors as labor, network logistics, transportation, utilities, communications, taxes/ incentives, business/ community climate, building/site characteristics, quality of life and environmental regulations.

THE NEWS SUN LaGrange & Noble Counties 347-0400

The best local news and sports!

The Dollar General Store on LaGrange’s south side and a LaGrange Highway Department building each lost part of its roof. Nearly 100 homes near Topeka, Wolcottville and LaGrange were left without power. Dollar General did not release an estimate of the damage to its store. Because the roof on the highway department building is made a rubber membrane, it will get a temporary patch and be repaired next spring, when warmer weather allows crews to seal it. LaGrange County Sheriff Terry Martin said most of the county escaped without major damage. Spokesman Nick Myers said most NIPSCO power outages in LaGrange County

were the result of falling tree limbs or blown fuses. NIPSCO crews were going house to house Monday restoring power. LaGrange REMC’s Indian Lakes substation went down during the storm, leaving 1,700 customers without power, Dreibelbis said. All customers had power restored by 9:30 p.m. The damaged substation is at the intersection of C.R. 700S and C.R. 75W, south of Dallas Lake. Some local users were among 8,400 I&M power customers in the Fort Wayne area who lost power in the storm. That number was down to 5,300 by 4:30 p.m. Monday. The utility estimated that power would be restored to affected Avilla customers by noon today. DeKalb County had no

reports of major damage to houses or buildings, said Roger Powers, Emergency Management Agency director. Newton said some Noble County homes sustained damage to siding and shingles. He encouraged anyone with damage to report it to his office by calling 636-2938 and leaving a message. Steuben County had reports of downed trees across some county roads. Sheriff Tim Troyer said most of the damage reports came from southwest Steuben County. Power was out in the area for about 2 hours. “I think we dodged a bullet with that storm,” Troyer said. “I think we were very fortunate. There was a fear of that November tornado.”

PROJECT: Building had three prior renovations FROM PAGE A1

building dates back to 1915, and additions and renovations have occurred in 1958, 1968 and 1983. The building has about 600 seventh- and eighth-grade students, 50 to 70 staff members, 38 classrooms, a gym and auditorium. With only one gym, middle school athletes share East Noble High School athletic facilities and are bused to elementary school gyms for practices. Linson went through a long list of problems with the building that included: a gym and auditorium too small for student body assemblies; restrooms and other parts of the building not handicapped-accessible; single-pane windows with little insulation; antiquated heating system; no air conditioning on the third floor; roof leaks; 11 staircases presenting supervision issues; bus and student pickup congestion; narrow hallways; loose exterior bricks and crumbling mortar; and

outdated auditorium stage lighting. “Student safety is a critical challenge,” she said. The building has wooden beams, she said, asking, “If there is a fire, how quickly can students on the third floor get out of the building?” Linson showed three options with updated cost estimates; • full renovation of the existing building with a new auditorium and two gyms, $24.7 million; • adding to the building with a new auditorium and two gyms and tearing down the oldest sections, $22.7 million; • building a new structure on a different 40-acre site with an auditorium, two gyms, a football and athletics field, $24 million. Even with the middle school project, by 2018, school building taxes would be less than now, according to Linson. East Noble will be debt-free in about five years under present

conditions. “A building project will not raise taxes above the rate we have now,” she said. If no one remonstrates, the project will not have to go to a voter referendum. In response to concerns about what would happen to the existing building if a new middle school were built, Linson said: “If the community wants a new middle school building, it’s not the intention of the school board to vacate and leave it as an eyesore.” The expense of tearing it down is included in the estimated $24 million for a new school building. Linson pointed out the law requires the school corporation to maintain the vacant building for two years to allow time for a charter school to consider purchasing it. The school board has not decided on an option, and no plan has been chosen, she said, adding, “We want the community’s input in this process.”

MONDAY’S GAMES BOSTON.......................................4 CAROLINA...................................1

CHICAGO (AP) — Luol Deng scored 21 points and the Chicago Bulls overcame a rough shooting night to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 86-81 on Monday for their fifth straight win. Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 17 rebounds for Chicago, which is on its longest winning streak since taking eight in a row from Feb. 20-March 7, 2012. Jimmy Butler had 14 points and Derrick Rose finished with 12. Deng’s 3-pointer with 27.1 seconds remaining gave the Bulls an 85-81 lead. Gerald Henderson then missed for the Bobcats, and Rose had a free throw to help Chicago wrap it up. Rose, who hit a career-high six 3-pointers in the Bulls’ 110-94 win Saturday over Indiana, went 4 for 13 from the field. The Bulls shot 27 of 75 (36 percent) overall. The 2011 NBA MVP played 31 minutes in his second game back after missing Chicago’s win

at Toronto on Friday with a sore right hamstring. Butler missed part of the game with a right toe injury but came back with 6:35 left in the fourth. Charlotte was looking for its fourth consecutive road victory and third in four games overall, but it was unable to take advantage of the Bulls’ poor shooting. Once again, the Bobcats struggled from the floor despite a strong effort in the paint. The Bobcats were shooting a league-worst 40.2 percent from the field coming into the day, and they were 28th from 3-point range at 29.3 percent. On Monday, they shot 36.3 percent as a team. Playing without injured center Al Jefferson, the Bobcats outscored the Bulls 38-28 in the paint. Jeffery Taylor led Charlotte with a career-high 20 points and Henderson had 16 in a game that featured two of the league’s top defensive teams. Entering Monday, the Bulls were third in

opponents scoring at 90.0 points per game, while the Bobcats were fourth at 93.6. Jefferson missed his third consecutive game with a bone bruise in his right ankle. Coach Steve Clifford said he hopes Jefferson can play Wednesday against Brooklyn, but he will more likely play Friday against Phoenix. Jefferson, who signed a three-year, $40.5 million contract with the Bobcats in July, has played in three of Charlotte’s 11 games and is averaging 15 points and 8.7 rebounds. And for a while, it looked as if Charlotte would be fine without Jefferson. Charlotte trailed by as many as 10 early on but took a 42-40 lead with 2:18 left in the first half on a Kemba Walker layup, and led 44-40 at halftime. The Bobcats forced 10 Chicago turnovers in the first half while committing only two of their own.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (12) is congratulated by Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains, right, and corner-

back Alterraun Verner after an NFL football game Thursday in Nashville, Tenn. The Colts won 30-27.

Colts ready for Cardinals INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts aren’t focusing on their slow starts. The team isn’t worried about falling behind early in each game of the past three weeks. Instead, the Colts continue to look forward. That’s all coach Chuck Pagano wanted his team to do. “I don’t know if it’s like a batter that’s in a slump,” he said. “The harder you press, the harder you swing, things might tend to get worse instead of just sticking to the process, executing better, better fundamentals, technique, communication.” The Colts (7-3) got a break over the weekend after seizing control of the AFC South, a three-game lead and a sweep all three division road games. “I think our guys are excited to play the Cardinals,” Pagano said. “It’s going to be a tough one. He’s got a really good football team, solid in all three phases and well-coached. It will be a great challenge for our team.” Now it’s back to the regular

routine and the Colts hope the long weekend will create a refreshed team as they prepare to make a trip to Arizona on Sunday where they face the Cardinals and former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who stepped in as interim head coach of the Colts last season. The Colts fell behind early against the Houston Texans coming out of the bye week on Nov. 3, but rallied in the second half to win. The fell behind big against St. Louis in Week 10 and never climbed out of that deficit. Then on Thursday, Indy fell behind by two scores, but rallied in the second half to beat Tennessee 30-27. “We’ve been playing bad ball, that’s all it is,” wide receiver T.Y. Hilton said. “We’re not executing in the first half and it’s causing us the slow starts. But it is what it is and we’re winning, so it’s nothing more to talk about.” But the Colts have had a hard time trying to move the ball on the ground, until the second half of Thursday’s game when Donald

Brown ran for two scores against the Titans. Tight end Coby Fleener has helped out, too. Since Reggie Wayne suffered a season-ending knee injury in a game against Denver last month, Fleener has caught a 44-yard pass against Houston and a 2-point conversion passes against the Texans and the Rams and totaled a season-best 107 yards against the Titans. “His stat line continues to get better and better,” quarterback Andrew Luck said. “His production has been great since he’s been here.” Hilton had 121 yards receiving and three touchdowns against the Texans and 130 against St. Louis. Now it’s just a matter of making big plays right from the start instead of waiting around until the second half. The weekend off may have been just what the Colts needed. “Good to get everybody back,” Pagano said. “Good sharp, crisp practice. Start at 8 o’clock this morning with meetings in preparation for Arizona.”

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Jim Schwartz is standing by his decision to call a fake field goal in the fourth quarter at Pittsburgh. In fact, the Detroit coach sounds ready to do it again if the right situation presents itself. “We got the look that we wanted, we thought it was there, we didn’t execute it great,” Schwartz said Monday. “If we think there’s something there special teams-wise, next week, not going to be afraid to call it.” The Lions were up by four early in the final quarter against the Steelers on Sunday, but their fake deep in Pittsburgh territory didn’t work. Detroit collapsed after that, allowing two touchdowns and losing 37-27, falling back into a first-place tie with Chicago in the NFC North. A day later, the fake field goal was still a big topic around Detroit. The Lions were up 27-23 when kicker David Akers came out for what looked like a 27-yard field goal attempt. Rookie punter Sam Martin then took the snap then tried to find room over the right side, needing 5 yards for a first down. He didn’t quite get there, and he ended up fumbling the ball away anyway. “If we were successful in that situation, and we go up 11 right there, I know what you guys would write,” Schwartz said. “You guys would write: ‘It’s a different attitude, Lions are going for the win, they’re not trying to just be settling for field goals.’” It was a move with obvious risks and rewards. Keith Goldner, chief analyst at numberFire.com, estimates that the Lions needed about a 66 percent chance of converting the fake for it to make mathematical sense — although he cautioned that every situation is unique. “You can’t go straight by the numbers, but they are a good starting point and should definitely be incorporated into decisionmaking analysis,” Goldner said in an email.

Bears defense shows positive signs LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Julius Peppers wreaked havoc again. David Bass and Jonathan Bostic became the first set of Bears’ rookies to record interceptions in the same game in 24 years, and the defense continued to show signs that’s it’s coming together despite being ripped apart by injuries. That was one of the most encouraging developments for Chicago in Sunday’s 23-20 overtime victory over Baltimore. Now, the Bears are once again tied with Detroit for the NFC North lead at 6-4 and right back in the thick of the playoff race after they appeared to be on shaky ground.

They were coming off a loss to the Lions that gave Detroit a two-game sweep and had dropped four of six. Then, they had to wait out about a two-hour rain delay and put in extra time on the way to a much-needed win over the Ravens. A big chunk of the credit goes to a defense that was ineffective at the start of the season and got hit hard by injuries. But while players have been going down, confidence appears to be on the rise with a game at St. Louis coming up Sunday. “It grows, because I see what we’re doing in practice,” coach Marc Trestman said Monday. “I see the work that’s being put in. I stand behind the defense during

their periods and I see the run fits getting better, the communication getting better. I like the fact that our coaches are embracing the development of our young players. We’re not spending time thinking about the loss of some of the players that we’ve lost. We’ve taken all that energy into building the best defense we can to play good team football.” The Bears have struggled against the run and were having trouble getting to the quarterback, even before all the injuries started to pile up, but in some ways, it was a different story against the Ravens. Peppers had two sacks to double his total to four. He was

also credited with 11 tackles, including four for a loss, in what might have been the best game in a disappointing season for the eight-time Pro Bowler. He missed some preseason practices because of a hamstring injury and a slow start raised questions about his future in Chicago. But against Baltimore, that old spark was there. “I thought he’s obviously gaining strength and momentum,” Trestman said. “Really his energy level was consistent throughout the game. We all had a sense during the week that this was going to be a game that he was going to turn it up. It was good to see.”

Sectional title on Barons’ minds BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — The DeKalb boys basketball team has reached the sectional championship game in four of the past five seasons. Unfortunately for the Barons, all four of those games ended in defeat, including a 67-47 loss to Fort Wayne Northrop in last year’s final. And with three starters having departed from a season ago, seventh-year head coach Jon Everingham must find a way to replace them as soon as possible. “We have the pieces of the puzzle to compete for a sectional championship,” Everingham said. “It certainly does not help the coach sleep at night when you have to think about those types of games. But we’ve lost to some really good basketball teams and we hope we’re in the mix again.” But there is plenty of talent permeating throughout the DeKalb roster, led by two-time All-Northeast Hoosier Conference selection Cole Hartman. The 6-foot-5 junior forward was the Barons’ second-leading scorer last season, averaging 13.4 points per game while leading the team with 5.0 rebounds per game. Hartman will shoulder more responsibility on both the offensive and defensive ends with the graduations of Adison Daub (15.3 ppg) and Austin Macy (10.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg). “He can pretty much do it all,” Everingham said. “He can score from the inside, shoots 40-plus percent from 3-point range and really creates a matchup problem for other teams. He’s probably going to be a little bit more of a focus

of defenses. He’s going to have to learn how to pass and find the open teammates a little better. On the defensive end, he’ll have some tougher matchups.” Expect the Barons to create matchup problems for opponents with their size. Besides Hartman, Everingham has 6-5 senior center Tanner Moore and 6-5 sophomore Will Chrisman at his disposal. Moore (4.0 ppg, 2.6 rpg) started 14 games last and is expected to be in the starting lineup in the season opener against Northrop on Nov. 27. Moore is the team’s lone senior. “We’re looking for Tanner to have a breakout season,” Everingham said. “He’s been fulfilling a role

of being an interior defender for us in the past. Our conference and sectional are loaded with good, solid inside big men and we’re going to be counting on him defensively to shore up our interior defense.” Joining Hartman and Moore in the starting lineup is 6-0 junior point guard Dahlton Daub (4.1 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals per game). Daub hit 49 percent of his 3-point shots and 54 percent from the field. Everingham said that Daub is one of the most underrated players in Northeast Indiana. “I think he’s one of the top point guards in our area,” Everingham said. “He’s not real flashy but he takes care of the ball and he

doesn’t turn it over. But we get a little lost when he’s not in there. With Dahlton holding the fort down taking care of the basketball, he’ll also play great defense and hit open shots.” There are three other players in the mix to earn starting spots. Chrisman (0.8 ppg, 0.6 rpg) saw action in 11 games last year as a freshman; 5-10 sophomore guard Hunter Cone (3.1 ppg, 1.6 rpg) played in all 25 games last season, starting five contests; and 6-1 junior guard Carson Forrest (0.5 ppg, 0.3 rpg), who saw action in 12 games in 2012-13. “Hunter has matured physically and he’s going to be a very productive player,” Everingham said. “Will

Chrisman has a basketball body at 6-6, 190 pounds. He’s had some success as a wide receiver on the football team. He’s a guy that runs and jumps, and we’re letting him work into getting into basketball shape. Once he does that, he’ll be a solid contributor. Carson’s just a very athletic kid that’s a good all-around player.” Four players will round out the expected varsity rotation: 5-9 junior guard Trey Beachy, 5-8 junior guard Logan Casper (played in two games last year), 6-6 junior forward Logan Gerke (three games last year) and 6-2 sophomore forward Harrison Price. “They’re four guys I feel completely comfortable putting into a varsity basket-

ball game,” Everingham said. The Barons have traditionally been a guard-oriented squad, but that could change this season. “We’ve got to utilize what our strengths are and our offense is always ever-changing, depending on our personnel,” Everingham said. “Utilizing those guys in the interior is going to have to be part of the equation to our success. We’re excited about finally getting some big guys in the middle. “This year’s team is going to have a different personality, different personnel and we’re just trying to figure out what our make-up is going to be and what our strengths and weaknesses may be.” Everingham says the team’s biggest strength remains to be seen. “We have to be very patient with the progress of this team,” Everingham said. “We can’t put too much emphasis on our early games. We have a long way to go in terms of being consistent but I think we’re on the right track. Around Christmas tournament time, we can show we’re a consistently good team. The Barons will see some impressive competition at the Carroll Shootout on Dec. 27-28. They’ll play Class A power Blackhawk Christian at 10 a.m. and then play Class 4A powerhouse Hamilton Southeastern at 6 p.m. on the first day. The past two Mr. Basketball winners (Gary Harris in 2012 and Zak Irvin in 2013) have come from HSE. HSE is ranked 12th in the Class 4A preseason poll. Other preseason ranked teams in the shootout are Munster and Marion, tied for eighth in the 4A poll.

Blazers carving out own identity Area High School Boys Basketball Preview Schedule

BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com

BUTLER — After back-to-back three-win seasons, Eastside’s boys basketball team quickly showed it was on the way back to respectability in the 2012-2013 campaign. The Blazers finished 9-13 in coach Ryan Abbott’s first season. That was last year, however, and the players who return from that squad must establish their own identity instead of living off past accomplishments. “Right now, we’re trying to find our identity,” Abbott said. “We’re trying to discuss very little about what happened last year and create our own identity. I thought we made great gains last year, but that’s in the past. We want to establish a new set of standards with the guys we have.” Leading scorer and rebounder Jayden Lilly graduated, taking his 16.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game with him to Indiana University-South Bend. Also lost to graduation was shooting guard Dalton Shetler (7.3 ppg, 24-of-81 from three-point range), and role players Blake Blaker, Justin Miller and Zac Newcomer. Back for the Blazers are seniors Ryan Liechty and Kadis Renier, and junior Preston “P.J.” Dean. Renier averaged 6.7

ppg, was 20-of-53 from three-point range, and led the team with 34 assists and 41 steals. Dean averaged 8.8 ppg, was 16-of-47 beyond the arc, and contributed 31 assists and 28 steals. Liechty averaged nearly four points and three rebounds per game. “Kadis and P.J. have a year under their belts in our system,” Abbott said.

“We dropped a few games last year where we were in position to win the game, and I have a lot of positive thoughts about being able to finish those games. I think our guards will be able to bring those games home.” Looking to fill a role in the post will be junior Rob Singer. “Rob needs to gain experience, but he had a

great summer and fall for us, and I think he’s ready to step into that role,” Abbott said. Like Singer, junior Ethan Moughler saw action mostly with a reserve team that finished 13-7, but did play some varsity minutes as well. Senior Tristan Sprunger, sophomores Austin Baker, Tyler Beard and Landen Brow, and freshman Cade Willard also look to find

varsity playing time this season. “We want to try to play much faster,” Abbott said. “We have a team that can get up and down the floor. We can put points on the board in multiple ways, which is always exciting to watch, and I’d like to say on any given night, we’re going to defend and outwork other teams. That’s going to be our

backbone. “I’m excited about our balance,” he said. “We should be fun to watch, and hopefully fun to watch means we’ll compete every night and get some wins along the way.” Rebounding and leadership are the keys to Eastside’s fortunes this season. “If we rebound, we have a nice chance to have a really great year,” he continued. “If we don’t rebound the ball, teams are going to take advantage of that and we run the risk of not exceeding our expectations. “We want to dedicate ourselves to getting better each day,” Abbott said. “We feel if we get better each day, (conference and sectional championships) aren’t too far-fetched for us.”

Meyer says BCS ‘flawed’ COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Bowl Championship Series has been good to Urban Meyer. He led two Florida teams to national championships under the format in the 2006 and 2008 seasons. Each time the Gators lost a game in the regular season, but still played for the BCS title. But now that he’s the head coach at Ohio State, and his unbeaten team could be on its way to being boxed out

of the national title race, he’s looking differently at the how major college football determines which teams play for the championship. “Without spending much time on it, because it’s not fair for our team to do that, I will say this: I think it’s a flawed system,” Meyer said Monday when asked about the BCS. There was a time, Meyer said, when the BCS filled a need in college football. After

years of criticism and outright hatred of the BCS, it will fall by the wayside after this season and will be replaced by a four-team playoff in 2014. “When you logically think about it, what the BCS people have done, which obviously we’re all part of it, I think it was great for a while,” he said. “I think it took an imperfect system and did the best you can without a playoff.”

Munoz will join Marco Andretti, James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay on the four-car team. Andretti said sponsorship will be announced for the Colombian at a later date. Munoz made his IndyCar debut in the Indianapolis 500. He started from the front row and finished second. He was a replacement driver for injured Ryan Briscoe at Toronto in July and finished fourth. He also filled in last minute for E.J. Viso in the season finale at Fontana, where he crashed and finished 23rd. Munoz won four Indy Lights races in 2013 and five poles driving for Andretti.

Former NFL player Howard dies in car crash ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Former NFL linebacker Thomas Howard has died following a high-speed car crash on a freeway in Oakland. The Alameda County Coroner’s office said the 30-year-old Howard was one of two men who died in the crash early Monday morning. The driver of the other car, 64-year-old Zeng Long Liu of Hayward, also died. Howard was driving a speeding BMW when he hit a big rig, flipped over the center divider and went head-on into a Honda traveling on the other side around 1 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. Howard played eight years in the NFL after being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round out of Texas-El Paso in 2006. He was most recently with Atlanta before getting released last week.

Colts LB Walden suspended by NFL for one game NEW YORK (AP) — Colts linebacker Erik Walden’s head-butt and Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson’s helmet-to-helmet hit have earned one-game suspensions from the NFL. The league announced the punishments Monday. Walden pulled off the helmet of Titans tight end Delanie Walker, then slammed his own helmet into Walker’s head during Indianapolis’ game against Tennessee on Thursday. Goldson was penalized for unnecessary roughness for his hit on a defenseless receiver, Roddy White, against Atlanta on Sunday.

Florida police investigate theft of A-Rod documents BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — A Florida police department says it has reopened an investigation into the theft of documents related to baseball’s inquiry into whether Alex Rodriguez used performance enhancing drugs. Boca Raton police officer Sandra Boonenberg said Monday the investigation was reopened several weeks ago based on new information stemming from Rodriguez’s lawsuit against Major League Baseball. Boonenberg offered few details on the open investigation but said detectives have “a lot of leads that they’re pursuing.” The documents were stolen in March from the car of Porter Fischer, who took them from Biogenesis, the Miami clinic where he worked. The clinic and its owner, Tony Bosch, reportedly provided drugs to Rodriguez and other major league players. Bosch is now cooperating with baseball’s investigators.

No. 1 MSU holds off Portland EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Keith Appling matched a career high with 25 points to help No. 1 Michigan State pull away to beat Portland 82-67 on Monday night in its first game as a top-ranked team in 13 years. The Spartans (4-0) struggled in the first half, leading by four points after seven lead changes and three ties. Travis Trice’s 3-pointer broke a tie with 12:26 left and he followed that up seconds later with a steal and layup. Garry Harris made a 3-pionter — the team’s 11th from behind the arc — midway through the second half that put Michigan State ahead by 10 points for the first time. The Pilots (1-2) were balanced on offense with Kevin Bailey leading the way with 12 points and pesky on defense and the boards.

Appointing school chief looks appealing Two weeks ago, we expressed hope for a cooling down of hostilities between new state Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz and her Republican opponents. With little progress toward a short-term solution to that feud, we’re turning our attention to a long-term answer. Most people have forgotten that state leaders nearly solved the problem 25 years ago. Hoosiers should be able A proposal have the to know exactly who to state superinto praise or blame for tendent by the condition of Indiana appointed the governor, schools. The governor instead of fell should be in charge. elected, only one vote short of passing in the Indiana General Assembly. “I supported the measure for obvious reasons. In the voter’s mind, the governor is held responsible for the general condition of the state, including education,” Louis Mahern, a former state senator, wrote recently on indianaforefront. com, a website for political comment. Mahern noted that in two-thirds of the states, the governor appoints the top education official, improving the chance that they will pull in the same direction. Back in the 1980s, “There were discussions about what a mess it would be if the governor and the superintendent had serious disagreements over education policy,” Mahern added. He concluded, “We have now seen what having an elected superintendent with a different take on things from the governor means. But try having a rational discussion about that now.” Despite Mahern’s pessimism, we think this is a good time to discuss a better way of governing Indiana schools. Down the road, we might forget why we needed a change back in 2013. It’s possible to argue that electing the state superintendent results in more accountability. But what it really creates is divided authority, setting up the standoff we’re seeing now between the superintendent and the governor. The uncertainty and gridlock make Indiana students and teachers the big losers. Hoosiers should be able to know exactly who to praise or blame for the condition of Indiana schools. The governor should be in charge. To make the idea of appointing the school chief less explosive, supporters suggest making it effective after the 2020 election. That would allow Ritz to run for re-election in 2016, so it would not amount to legislating her out of office. Given our recent history, adding to the governor’s power might seem to favor Republicans. But Democrats served as Indiana governors from 1989-2004, and it’s impossible to predict what Hoosier voters might do in the 2020 election. After all, just a little more than a year ago, few would have predicted that Glenda Ritz would win election as state superintendent.

Avoid fraud and provide right type of emergency aid BY JOEL ELLIOTT

By now, anyone who follows the news knows that people in the Philippines are trying to recover from the ravages of Typhoon Haiyan, possibly the deadliest natural disaster the country has ever seen. The death toll has surpassed 3,600, but due to the loss of communications infrastructure, many deaths are likely unreported, and the number probably will at least double by the time rescuers reach the more remote areas that were hit. An additional 600,000 people have been displaced. So, what can we do to help from here? I contacted Isabella Jean, the director of Evaluation and Learning at CDA, a non-profit based in Cambridge, Mass. Together with her colleagues she facilitates collaborative learning efforts focused on effectiveness and improvements of humanitarian, development and peace-building practice. Supporting aid efforts in disaster recovery can be tricky, since, depending on the type of assistance and how it is provided, aid can prove harmful or ineffective, Jean said. “Once you see a disaster like this, people’s reaction is to give, and we’ve heard plenty of stories of people in the past giving bags and bags of clothes that the affected people find completely useless,” she said. Jean said survivors of the 2004 South Asian tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia, were bewildered at the huge amounts of castoff clothing they received; some was completely inappropriate in terms of sizes and seasonal considerations. Many articles of the donated clothing were

manufactured in Indonesia in the first place. Well-meaning people in the West had emptied their closets and medicine cabinets and shipped it all to Aceh, but without any significant benefit. We can support disaster recovery efforts in an effective way. Send cash, not goods. Support a known, respected nonprofit that employs trained aid workers who understand how to mitigate the effects of a natural disaster. Avoid scams and make sure that the charity you choose is a recognized aid or development agency. One email scam already circulating purports to be from a traveler who found himself stranded by the typhoon’s destruction and asks for a loan in order to make it home. This sort of disgusting opportunism has become common after each major disaster. The Charity Navigator website — charitynavigator.org — and guidestar. org provide decent online tools for evaluating an aid or development agency based on its financial health, accountability and transparency and how well it has sustained its programs and its level of commitment to being accountable and transparent. A popular way to evaluate nonprofits — looking at what percentage of your donation goes into projects versus administration costs — is not necessarily the best way to choose a charity. Providing assistance or implementing a development project costs money. Limiting your donation choices to non-profits that claim to spend the highest proportions of their funding on delivering aid items could mean that those organizations are not spending the time or resources necessary to listen to

• the local population to discover what projects might actually benefit them. Aid workers have spent the past couple of weeks in relief mode, but will shift gears in the next week or so as they prepare to support recovery and reconstruction. At that point, the priority will become to not undermine or overwhelm the local capacity by bombarding locals with undesired or inappropriate aid projects, or to distort the local economies through massive influxes of poorly-targeted cash. The recovery phase will be one of the most difficult, according to Ian Davis, visiting professor in disaster risk management in Copenhagen, Lund, Kyoto and Oxford Brookes Universities. “There is a principle here to respect — these ‘survivors’ are the primary actors in their recovery, and while assisting groups can play vital roles, they must avoid creating dependency,” he wrote in a recent blog posting. “Thus they must never undertake any task that duplicates what the survivors can undertake themselves. Their active role to recovery actions is a vital part of their own psycho-social recovery.” JOEL ELLIOTT, a reporter at KPC’s Business Weekly, holds master’s degrees from Brandeis University in sustainable international development and in coexistence and conflict.

Woman dating younger man should take it slow DEAR ABBY: I am attracted to a man who is 27 years my junior. He is also attracted to me because he initiated our meeting. We have gone out a few times, and he says he doesn’t care about our age difference. He has also mentioned us living together and said he would gladly pay half the expenses even though I make more than he does. Is this appropriate in today’s society? I don’t look much older than he does. But I’m from a generation in which this kind of thing would be looked down upon. Still, I realize that the world has changed, and I feel a strong attraction to him.

Geriatric care managers usually charge by the hour. Rarely is the cost paid by long-term-care insurance; more commonly, the client or family pays. Be sure to get a written agreement outlining the scope of services offered and costs. I’ve put a copy of a “Needs Questionnaire” on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Taking care of my elderly father, with his complicated medical care, has become more than I can handle. A friend suggested I hire a geriatric care manager. How can this person help? DEAR READER: Caring for an elderly parent takes a lot of time, energy and patience, and it may also cause financial strain. But caregiving also can be wonderfully rewarding. Even if you do find it rewarding and don’t want to stop playing a major role in caring for your parent, you might still feel overwhelmed. If so, a geriatric care manager may be able to help. Geriatric care managers are jacks-of-all-trades. Their training may include nursing, social work, counseling or gerontology. An experienced manager can round up medical care and necessary services, keep medical personnel on the same page and cut through

B5

personal hygiene to safety and medical issues. After you complete this form, you can take it to a geriatric care manager for discussion. He or she can help you put together a personalized plan for caregiving. To locate a geriatric care manager in your area, contact the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (caremanager.org). I am in awe of my friends and my patients who lead busy lives but still find the time and energy to help care for their parents. They sometimes complain, understandably, about just how hard it is. But, particularly when their parent is gone, they look back on it as one of the most rewarding things they have done. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Hillary’s bid coming together Zimmerman faces WASHINGTON (AP) — As Hillary Rodham Clinton privately weighs a second White House run, pieces of the Democratic establishment are beginning to fall into place publicly to help her possible candidacy. Several super political action committees are collectively acting as an early de facto campaign organization to ensure Clinton is ready to compete vigorously if she decides to try again to become the first female president. They’re building a network without her direct consent. But she’s not objecting either, and some Democrats are interpreting that as encouragement to push forward in anticipation of a campaign. “There’s a lot of energy out there and it would be a mistake not to channel and use it as an opportunity to organize,” said Craig Smith, an adviser to Ready for Hillary. The super PAC American Bridge 21st Century has launched Correct the Record, a group staffed by former Clinton aides who intend to defend the former secretary of state and other potential 2016 candidates against Republican critics. Priorities USA Action, which ran searing ads against rivals of President Barack Obama to support his re-election, is discussing bringing onboard a former White House chief of staff under her husband. Ready for Hillary, formed after the 2012 elections, is working to keep grass-roots supporters around the country energized. And EMILY’s List, a group that has 3 million members and supports women candidates who back abortion rights, has been holding forums promoting the need to elect the America’s first female president. Democrats have highlighted polls showing that Clinton would be an early favorite for the party’s nomination if she sought the White House again. While this work goes on behind the scenes, Clinton has been staying in the

charge of assault

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton campaigns for then-Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, left, during a Women for Terry rally at the State Theater in Falls Church,

public eye by traveling the country to speak before trade groups and to party supporters. She also plans to release a book next year about her time at the State Department, giving her a platform to tour nation before the 2014 midterm elections. Today, American Bridge and the liberal-leaning Media Matters plan to hold a daylong conference on in San Francisco, where about 80 prospective donors and financial backers will hear from Smith, former Vice President Al Gore and Democratic strategists James Carville and Paul Begala, longtime advisers to former President Bill Clinton. Carville has promoted a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy, and Begala is a consultant to Priorities USA Action. An organizer of the San Francisco conference is Susie Tompkins Buell, a co-founder of the Esprit clothing company and a longtime friend of the Clintons who is also a finance co-chair of Ready for Hillary. Many donors attending the conference have pledged $100,000 or more to the two groups,

group recently acquired a 50-state voter database to help it further build its network — and persuade Clinton to run. EMILY’s List, which has conducted polling into voters’ perceptions of women in leadership positions, has a forum coming up — in Nevada in January — following two in other early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. “There is a growing understanding here that we may be able to break that final and hardest glass ceiling in the White House,” said Stephanie Schriock, the organization’s president. Since leaving the Obama administration, the former first lady has limited her political activity to the successful campaigns of two longtime allies — Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe in Virginia and New York Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio. She also has headlined several fundraisers for her family’s foundation and recently sat next to Hollywood film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, a top donor to Priorities USA, during a Los Angeles charity event.

which hope to raise $21 million by the end of 2013 and $25 million next year. Bill Clinton addressed a similar closed-door Media Matters/American Bridge conference in May in New York, where he thanked the organization for its efforts, according to a person who attended. Priorities USA has been in discussions with former Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina and with John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under President Clinton, about roles with the super PAC, according to people familiar with the talks. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to openly discuss the talks that Buzzfeed first reported. Ready for Hillary, meanwhile, held a strategy session last week in New York and has been building a network of activists who want to help with an eventual Clinton campaign. About 600,000 people have signed its petition urging her to run, and more than 25,000 have given money — most in symbolic donations of $20.16. The

APOPKA, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman was charged Monday with assault after deputies were called to the home where he lived with his girlfriend, who claimed he pointed a shotgun at her during an argument, authorities said. Zimmerman pushed the woman out of the house and barricaded the door with furniture, Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma said at a news Zimmerman conference hours after the arrest. The girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, provided deputies with a key to the home and they were able to push the door that had been barricaded. “She was very concerned for her own safety especially having the weapon pointed at her and then being pushed out,” Lemma said. Lemma says Zimmerman was compliant and unarmed when deputies came to the house. “The easiest way to describe it is rather passive. He’s had the opportunity to encounter this in the past,” he said. Zimmerman was charged with domestic aggravated assault with a weapon, domestic battery and criminal mischief. His first appearance was scheduled for this afternoon. He will be housed in a single-person cell and guards will check on him hourly, Lemma added. “Just when you thought you heard the last of George Zimmerman,” said neighbor Catherine Cantrell. She said she had twice seen a man who looked like Zimmerman get out of a truck that’s been in the driveway for nearly a month. The truck parked there Monday appeared to be the same one that reporters have seen Zimmerman drive previously. “I’m in absolute shock. He was never outside. It’s

not like he was out flaunting around,” she said. Cantrell said Scheibe was very sweet and quiet. Sarah Tyler, 26, also lives across the street from the tan stucco house on a cul-de-sac street of single family homes in Apopka, about 15 miles northwest of Orlando. “It’s kind of frightening,” she said. Zimmerman, 30, was acquitted in July of all charges in the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The death of the black teenager, who was unarmed, touched off a nationwide debate about race and self-defense. Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, has said he shot the 17-year-old to defend himself during a fight in February 2012 inside a gated community in Sanford, just outside Orlando. He wasn’t charged until 44 days after the shooting, leading to protests nationwide from people who believed he should have been immediately arrested. The case sparked accusations that Zimmerman had racially profiled Martin, and demonstrations broke out again after his acquittal. Federal authorities are now reviewing the case the see if Martin’s civil rights were violated. Zimmerman has had other brushes with the law since his acquittal. Zimmerman and his estranged wife were involved in a domestic dispute in September just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers, but police later said no charges were filed against either of them because of a lack of evidence. Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic stops since his acquittal. He was ticketed for doing 60 mph in a 45 mph zone in Lake Mary in September and was given a warning by a state trooper along Interstate 95 for having a tag cover and windows that were too darkly tinted.
