Baby-neglect mom back in jail Violated rules of 2010 probation BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — A former Auburn woman who went to prison for placing her newborn daughter in a trash bin will serve more time behind bars for using marijuana while on community corrections. During a hearing in DeKalb Superior Court I Monday, Alison Lesch, 23, of the 1200 block of East 10th Street, Indianapolis, admitted violating the terms of community corrections by providing a diluted urine sample that tested positive for THC, a
chemical found in marijuana. She also admitted being delinquent on her community corrections user fees, owing $2,049 as of Nov. 15. In November 2010, Lesch was sentenced to eight years in prison for neglect of a dependent, a Class C felony, by Judge Kevin Wallace of DeKalb Superior Court I. Lesch admitted giving birth to a baby girl on Nov. 7, 2009, at her home in Auburn. The next day she put the child in a trash bag and placed her in a trash bin outside her East Nineteenth Street apartment. At
her sentencing hearing, Lesch said she thought the baby was dead when she placed her in the trash bin. Police said the baby girl apparently spent nearly 2 ½ hours in the plastic garbage bag inside the trash bin before being found alive. The Lesch in 2009 baby was placed in foster care. In a letter read in court at Lesch’s 2010 sentencing hearing, the foster mother said Lesch’s child has a serious medical conditions,

Killer’s motive elusive Report focuses on Newtown shooter
Christmas parade is downtown tonight AUBURN — The annual Christmas Parade sponsored by the Downtown Auburn Business Association will take place tonight at 7 on South Main Street and the courthouse square. The parade includes floats, dance groups, horsedrawn wagons and sleighs, among its entries. The parade ends at Courtyard Park in downtown Auburn at 7th and Cedar streets, followed by an awards ceremony and the lighting of the Frosty the Snowman display.
including fetal alcohol syndrome, as well as cerebral palsy that may have been caused by its time in the trash bin. Lesch began the community corrections portion of her sentence on Jan. 23, 2013 in Marion County, Wallace noted. The judge ordered Lesch to serve the remaining 62 days of the sentence in the DeKalb County Jail. Lesch said she could not offer an explanation for her actions. “When I got high … I don’t know why I did it,” she said. Lesch said she has two jobs, goes to school and serves as a volunteer.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Why Adam Lanza went on his murderous shooting rampage at a Newtown elementary school is a mystery and may never be known, prosecutors said Monday in a report that closed out their yearlong investigation. Lanza, 20, was obsessed with mass murders and the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in particular, but investigators found no evidence he ever told others of his intentions to carry out such an attack, according to the summary report by the lead investigator, State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III. Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also shot his mother to death inside their home before driving to the school, and committed suicide with a handgun as police arrived. The shooting plunged the small New England community into mourning, elevated gun safety to the top of the agenda for President Barack Obama and led states across the country to re-evaluate laws on guns and security. “The obvious question that remains is: ‘Why did the shooter murder twenty-seven people,

Local income rising faster than average FROM STAFF REPORTS
Per capita personal income grew faster than the national average in all four counties of northeast Indiana during 2012, says a new federal report. Income also grew faster than the state average in three of four local counties. Only Noble County trailed the state average. Income grew at a 4.9 percent rate in Indiana and a 3.4 percent rate nationwide in 2012, says the report by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis. Locally, LaGrange County showed the highest rate of growth in 2012, at 9.6 percent. DeKalb County had the highest per capita income in the four counties at $34,533 per year.

Airport road closing to get new legal look BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — DeKalb County commissioners on Monday said they will have an attorney take a second look into the legality of the DeKalb County Airport Authority closing C.R. 29 to make way for an airport runway extension. Resident Daniel Brown approached the commissioners in September to raise issues about the county’s power over the road closure. He met with commissioners again Monday to present two cases he said show the county can stop the closure of C.R. 29. The Airport Authority voted this summer to close a stretch of the roadway between C.R. 60 and C.R. 62 to make way for a planned 2,000-foot extension of its runway to a total length of 7,000 feet. Brown said that in 1994, the St. Joseph County airport authority petitioned county officials to close a road for a runway extension. In that case, Brown said, the county officials approved the road closure by passing an ordinance.
In 2006, Brown said, the Plymouth airport was working on a runway extension when the Federal Aviation Administration’s Great Lakes region spokesman reported that county leaders are the only power able to close a roadway. According to Brown, the spokesman said then that even if the FAA were to approve a project, the administration could not make the county close a road. Brown said his research has shown that only the county executives — the commissioners — have the power to approve or deny petitions to close roads. Brown said he believes the DeKalb Airport Authority and the county’s attorney misinterpreted the airport governing body’s powers. Brown contends the airport agency only has power to petition the county commissioners for a road closure. The commissioners’ attorney, Jim McCanna, recused himself from the discussion at its outset because he also represents the Airport Authority. He said SEE AIRPORT, PAGE A8

Damaged schools reopen LAFAYETTE (AP) — More than 900 students returned to classes Monday after an unexpected week off because of severe storms that badly damaged two schools near Lafayette. Students from Southwestern Middle School were greeted with applause Monday as they arrived at Wea Ridge Middle School, where their classes will be held in spare classrooms for at least the next few months. Children who had been attending Mintonye Elementary School are going to a former school owned by a church. Southwestern student Brett Hartman told WTHR-TV he was grateful
for the welcome as his classmates resumed school for the first time since the Nov. 17 storms in which Indiana saw 28 tornadoes. “I want to get back into the routine and get all of our work done,” he said. “Hopefully we don’t have to go back for summer school.” District officials have requested a five-day exemption from the state’s 180-school day requirement because of the storm damage, which tore part of the roof from Southwestern Middle School and knocked down some exterior walls. It is unclear how long the two neighboring schools in a rural area about five
miles southwest of Lafayette will be shut down, but Tippecanoe School Corp. officials estimate the more severely damaged middle school building might be closed for at least a year. An open house held Sunday for students and parents at the new locations was meant to ease any anxiety about the moves, district Superintendent Scott Hanback said. “The teachers and staff have been working literally The DeKalb FFA team placed 22nd in overtime just to get the classrooms set up and ready the nation at the National FFA Food to go,” Hanback said. “Right Science Contest in Louisville, Ky.

CORYDON (AP) — A man who died while exploring a treacherous southern Indiana cave with several friends over the weekend had been traversing through it for years. Timothy McLain, 49, of Brownsburg, died Saturday evening more than two miles into Blowing Hole Cave near Corydon, according to state conservation officers. McLain was among a group of eight people when he suddenly collapsed, fellow caver Rand Heazlitt of Corydon told The Indianapolis Star.

“He was laughing, having a good time when they were getting to a duck-under spot,” Heazlitt said. “A couple people had gotten under when someone yelled ‘We’ve got a problem.’” Conservation Officer Jim Schreck said an autopsy was planned, but a medical issue is the suspected cause of McLain’s death. Heazlitt said the cavers tried to resuscitate McLain as they worked for hours to carry his body to the surface of the cave in the sprawling Binkley Cave system. “He was just laughing one minute and the next minute, he was gone,” Heazlitt said. McLain wrote an Indiana Caverns blog article in August about the discovery of a new underground river in the cave system. “Binkley Cave continues to amaze us, allowing us to keep expanding its boundaries farther and farther, while fueling further speculation about where it will go,” McLain wrote.

Do snowbirds signal snow on the way? Snowbirds are back. I saw two on the ground under a bush when I looked out a bedroom window as I was dressing one morning a week ago. I saw more on the ground beneath the bird feeder outside my study window later that day, and I’ve seen small flocks in elsewhere since that morning. Snowbirds are winter OUTDOOR visitors from NOTES Canada in Indiana and Neil Case most of the U.S. states, though they do nest in both the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. Officially they are named junco, but I associate them with winter and snow. When I was a boy, it seemed that snowbirds often arrived in northern Iowa where I lived with the first snow. They would then be with us through the winter, until
•
the days had lengthened noticeably and the snow was disappearing. Juncos are actually sparrows. But they are gray, not brown. Mostly gray, dark gray, on the head, back, wings, throat and tail, except the outer tail feathers, which are white, and the belly, which is also white. Those white outer tail feathers are easy to see at any time, but are especially conspicuous, flashy, when a junco flies. Junco is Latin for rush, a plant of wetlands. “An odd name for this species,� wrote Edward S. Gruson, “since it prefers open pine woodlands.� Maybe in its northern or mountain nesting territories it prefers pine woodlands, but when visiting us I see it in deciduous woodlands, weedy fields and along roadsides. Those juncos I saw when I was a boy were named slate-colored junco. In the Northwest there was another junco, the Oregon junco, which had brown on the sides and back. There were other juncos as well,

Dark-eyed Juncos are flashy little sparrows that flit about forest floors of the western mountains and Canada, then flood the rest of North America for winter.
and they were considered varieties or sub-species. Some taxonomists distinguished as many as 12 varieties. Two of the more conspicuously marked were called pink-sided and white-winged. The white-winged did not have white wings but two white bars across each wing.
Now all those varieties are lumped together under one name, dark-eyed junco. There is one other junco in America, but its range is far from Indiana, the mountains of Mexico and the extreme southern corners of Arizona and New Mexico. It has brown on the back and yellow eyes. It’s name, appropriately, is yellow-eyed junco. Juncos are active little birds, often swirling about like fallen leaves before a gusting wind. They are not songsters, but have a cheery trill and a chipping call. They feed on the ground, and it would be easy to believe that they feed on seeds like other sparrows. And they do, but food habit studies have shown that less than half their diet is seeds, while over 60 percent is insects, grounddwelling insects of course, many small caterpillars. But ground-dwelling insects are hard to find when snow covers the ground, and then juncos are seen clinging to weed stalks and on the snow below, feeding on seeds.
Juncos are late fall arrivals, to us and to all the states of the U.S. except the mountain states and Alaska. And Hawaii where they’ve never been seen. But are the juncos of my yard the same birds that came to my yard last winter or fledglings of those birds? Do juncos have definite summer and winter ranges as most other migrants do? Or are juncos simply fall wanderers, so numerous that some find their way to every state south of Canada? Snowbirds are back. Juncos, anyhow. There are other snowbirds, snow buntings, which are sometimes called white snowbirds, and longspurs, both birds of the north that we see only in winter. But the buntings and longspurs are erratic, here some winters and not others. Dark-eyed juncos are with us every winter. And now that they are here, does that mean snow will soon blanket the ground?

Controversial defendant returns to court today BY PATRICK REDMOND predmond@kpcmedia.com
LAGRANGE — Christy Shaffer, a Topeka woman who gained national attention when she was released from prison after serving only 77 days for her role in the death of a toddler, is expected to appear in a LaGrange County courtroom this morning, this time accused of violating the terms of her probation. Shaffer, 35, was arrested Nov. 12 and charged with possession of methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance, both class D felonies. The arrest came after she was implicated in the Nov. 1 arrest of two Topeka men charged with manufacturing methamphetamine. That prompted the county probation department to give Shaffer a drug test that allegedly revealed trace amounts of methamphetamine in her system, said LaGrange County Prosecutor Jeff Wible. Today’s hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. and deals only with a charge that Shaffer allegedly violated her probation.
LaGrange County’s probation department believes Shaffer’s recent arrest and alleged failed drug test violate terms of her probation for her 2011 conviction involving the death of 16-month-old Alissa Guernsey. Guernsey died in 2009 while in Shaffer’s care. Only a short time earlier, the Department of Shaffer Child Services had placed the child with Shaffer. Following Guernsey’s death, an autopsy determined her death was the result of blunt-force trauma. In 2009, a LaGrange County grand jury charged Shaffer with two counts of neglect of a dependent. In 2011, Shaffer avoided a trial by pleading guilty to a single charge of neglect of a dependent. LaGrange County Circuit Judge J. Scott VanDerbeck then sentenced Shaffer to 10 years in prison. However, then months later, VanDerbeck stunned many involved with the case when he modified Shaffer’s sentence to
time served, 77 days, and ordered that she be placed on six months of home detention and serve three years on probation. Several organizations formed since then have protested Shaffer’s sentence, and those groups often attack the prosecutor for not charging Shaffer with murder. Bernadine Buffaci, a suburban Philadelphia resident and leader of an online organization, Babyalissacries4justice, said she will be in LaGrange Tuesday morning and hopes to be in the courtroom. Buffaci and her group have held several protests on the lawn of the LaGrange County Courthouse in recent years, demanding that Shaffer be charged with murder. Buffaci said other members of her group will be on the courthouse lawn with signs, protesting Tuesday morning. She said her group hopes the court will order Shaffer to be returned to prison to serve the remainder of her 10-year sentence. “It’s the least they can do,� Buffaci said. Judge VanDerbeck will not hear the probation violation case.
VanDerbeck recused himself from the case last fall and appointed DeKalb County Judge Kevin Wallace in his place. VanDerbeck said in a written statement that “an inflamed atmosphere ‌ created by people unconnected to this caseâ€? made it impossible for him to continue in his role. “When a judge, in a community plagued with methamphetamine use, attempts to resolve a dispute involving drug use, family problems, the tragic death of an infant, and conflicting accounts of who is to blame — the rule of law provides guidance for justice,â€? he wrote. “When an enflamed atmosphere follows, based on a fictional account of circumstantial evidence, that places unsupported blame on the innocent and the judge, not the facts that were presented at hearing, becomes the central focus, it is a sad day for justice in America.â€? Shaffer also is scheduled to appear again in court in December for a preliminary hearing on the two methamphetamine charges.
Regional Roundup • Jury trial appears likely for lake murder suspect ANGOLA — A jury trial seems likely for the second suspect in a Jimmerson Lake killing this summer. Tyler Lee Biggs, 18, of Jimmerson Lake was in Steuben Circuit Court Monday for a pretrial conference. His Fort Wayne attorney, Randy Fisher, told Judge Allen Wheat the defense team plans to depose two more witnesses on Wednesday in addition to Mark Zachery Hines, 28, of Jimmerson Lake, who was sentenced last Monday to 45 years
in prison for the shooting of Ruben Sanchez, 29, on July 7. Biggs is accused of procuring the pistol used in the killing, a .40-caliber handgun. The shooting occurred after a weekend of partying and a physical altercation. Biggs is charged with murder and Class A felony conspiracy to commit murder. The murder charge carries up to a 65-year sentence and the Class A felony carries up to 50 years. Plea negotiations are now closed in Biggs’ case, which is set for a Dec. 16-20 jury trial in Circuit Court.
Consecutive prison terms sought for Indy officer INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence a suspended Indianapolis police officer convicted of driving drunk and causing a crash that killed a motorcyclist to consecutive terms, instead of concurrent terms. Deputy Prosecutor Denise Robinson filed a memorandum Friday saying David Bisard deserves an aggravated sentence because as a police officer, he should be held to a higher standard. The 2010 crash
killed motorcyclist Eric Wells and injured Mary Mills and her husband, Kurt Weekly. Bisard is scheduled to be sentenced today in Fort Wayne.

This January file photo shows Martin Bashir at the EA SimCity Learn. Build. Create. Inauguration After-Party, in Washington. Bashir’s apology for graphic comments about Sarah Palin on MSNBC hasn’t ended questions about whether the remarks deserve punishment from his bosses.
Controversy over Bashir punishment doesn’t go away NEW YORK (AP) — Martin Bashir’s apology for graphic comments about Sarah Palin on MSNBC hasn’t ended questions about whether the remarks deserve punishment from his bosses, giving unwanted attention to a cable network dealing with sinking ratings along with loose-lipped hosts. Palin, in a Fox interview on Sunday, said MSNBC was guilty of “executive hypocrisy” by not publicly disciplining Bashir for his “vile, evil comments.” Four days after Bashir apologized, MSNBC said it was “handling this matter internally” and wouldn’t comment further. “It’s a systemic problem,” said Jeff Cohen, an Ithaca College journalism professor and liberal commentator who was a producer for Phil Donahue’s prime-time MSNBC show a decade ago. “It’s a problem at MSNBC. It’s a problem in cable news. It’s a certain coarseness where everything goes. I guess they can keep sanctioning and suspending people, but there’s something wrong when name-calling is considered OK.” Bashir’s comments about Palin came on the same day MSNBC suspended actor Alec Baldwin from his weekly show for two episodes for his part in an off-the-air episode. Baldwin used an anti-gay slur in a confrontation with a photog-

rapher on a New York City street. Bashir used his weekday afternoon program on Nov. 15 to criticize Palin for her remarks comparing U.S. indebtedness to China to slavery. Bashir cited the diaries of a former plantation overseer who punished slaves by having someone defecate in their mouth or urinate on their face. He suggested the former Alaska governor deserved the same treatment. The somber anchor, a former “Nightline” host, apologized on his next show on Nov. 18. The Baldwin suspension set up an immediate contrast for MSNBC’s critics to latch on to: Why does an epithet used in a heated moment in an off-air confrontation merit a suspension, while a sickening comment made on the air, presumably researched and written in advance, not deserve one? Other MSNBC personalities have been disciplined for remarks that drew unwanted attention. The network fired Don Imus in 2007 for referring to members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.” David Shuster was suspended for two weeks in 2008 for suggesting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign had “pimped out” daughter Chelsea Clinton by having her place phone calls to celebrities and convention delegates.

GARRETT — A J.E. Ober fourth-grader is using her talents to help those in need. Baylee Werkheiser, 9, is creating rubber band bracelets in multiple colors and selling them for $2 apiece. She originally planned to donate $1 to the Garrett Christmas Bureau and use any leftover money to buy more supplies. “We didn’t spend that much on the bands,” her mother, Stephanie Werkheiser said, “so we decided to give it all to them.” Werkheiser said they plan to use the money to purchase items requested for the Christmas Bureau. The whole idea started when her grandmother, Judy Werkheiser, brought home a kit of colorful rubber bands from a hobby store. “She wondered if Baylee would like these to make friendship bracelets,” Stephanie Werkheiser said. “And she gave them to Baylee for Halloween, and that’s how it all started.” Baylee went online and watched a video on You Tube to find how to create the fishtail bracelets. It turned out the ones on the Facebook page were not the same — but Baylee liked these better. “I just watched it once and figured it out,” she said.

Baylee Werkheiser, 9, displays the bracelets she is selling to benefit the Christmas bureau.
Her mom said Baylee has always been creative. It takes 50 rubber bands, one C-clip and two unsharpened pencils to make the bracelets — and 20-30 minutes to complete. Baylee’s favorites are the pink, green and yellow bracelets, but she had done several in maroon and blue for the Railroaders. In the past week, Baylee has been filling orders from family and friends for some 87 bracelets, with more coming in all the time on her mom’s Facebook page, where photos of of the various colors are on
display. Popular colors include camo, rainbow, tie-dye and pinks and purples. She hopes to fill 250 orders. Baylee said it takes a couple days to deliver the bracelets. Orders can be placed by calling 553-0090 through Dec. 6 to benefit the Christmas Bureau. Orders taken after that date will benefit other local charities. Dr. Sarah Ragan of Garrett has offered to match 50 cents for every bracelet sold through Dec. 6, as well.

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

Petcoke blackens cities with air full of grit CHICAGO (AP) — The images are startling. Billowing black clouds darken the daytime sky as wind-driven grit pelts homes and cars and forces bewildered residents to take cover. The onslaught, captured in photos and video footage from Detroit and Chicago this year, was caused by the same thing: brisk winds sweeping across huge black piles of petroleum coke, or “petcoke,” a powdery byproduct of oil refining that’s been accumulating along Midwest shipping channels and sparking a new wave of health and environmental concerns. The piles are evidence of a sharp increase in North American oil production — particularly crude extracted from oil sands in Canada — that has been trapped in the Midwest because of limited pipeline capacity to carry it to the Gulf and West coasts, leading to unprecedented amounts of oil refining and petcoke production here. In Midwestern neighborhoods near
refineries, the growing black mountains have brought outcries from residents and new efforts by lawmakers to control or banish the blowing dust. “We could barely open the windows this summer because the black dust was so bad,” said Susanna Gomez, 37, a mother and grandmother who lives on Chicago’s far southeast side, across a set of railroad tracks from a shipping terminal that stockpiles petcoke until it can be loaded on to ships for export. She said she worries about one of her sons, who’s asthmatic, but doesn’t have the money to move. Alan Beemsterboer, whose family owns another nearby site that long has handled slag, asphalt and coal, and now, increasingly, petcoke, said he doesn’t understand the controversy. “This has been an industrial area forever — a coke plant used to be there, a steel mill used to be there,” Beemsterboer said. “Coal and petcoke are just dirty words now. “ Petcoke has been part
of the American industrial landscape since the 1930s, when refineries began installing equipment to “cook” residue left over from making gasoline and diesel into a solid fuel that could be burned in power plants and cement kilns. But the sheer volume of petcoke that appeared suddenly in Detroit and Chicago this year — almost all of it in open-air piles — was unprecedented, and caught residents and public officials off guard. With the amount of Canadian oil entering the U.S. increasing almost daily, refineries like Marathon in Detroit, BP in Whiting, Ind., and Phillips 66 in Roxana, Ill., have expanded to handle the glut. Even more oil could be on the way if the controversial Keystone XL pipeline is approved, though by then additional domestic pipelines could direct some to refineries in other regions, experts say. In Detroit, petcoke began appearing along the Detroit River in the spring, several months after the Marathon Oil refinery
Market mixed after surge NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market paused Monday, ending on a mixed note, after a string of records in recent weeks. Investors had little company-specific news to digest, although the U.S. and other world powers reached a deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program, an event that pushed down oil prices and energy stocks. The slow day represented a pause in the market’s strong run-up, capped by another milestone on Friday, when the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed above 1,800 for the first time. Stocks have soared this
year as a combination of solid corporate earnings, a strengthening economy and easy-money policies from the Federal Reserve have drawn investors to stocks. Stocks have also gained because they offer an attractive alternative to bonds, where interest rates remain close to all-time lows. Despite light trade, Monday did feature another market milestone. The Nasdaq rose as high as 4,007.09, a level it hasn’t seen since Sept. 7, 2000, during the dot-com bubble. The index ended up 2.92 points, or 0.1 percent, at 3,994.57. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose eight points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,072.54. Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,802.48. The biggest drags on the S&P 500 were energy stocks. Sunday’s deal with Iran was the first significant progress in years to curtail that country’s nuclear ambitions. It could reduce the risk of conflict, improve trade and boost global oil supplies by making it easier for Iran to sell its crude onto the global market. That could increase global supply and push oil prices lower in the long-term.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stung by plunging approval numbers at a low point in his presidency, President Barack Obama is urging donors to buck up and making a thread-theneedle appeal for bipartisanship with Republicans even as he calls for replacing the House GOP majority and holding his Democratic edge in the Senate. Obama is seeking to gain back his political standing in the aftermath of his administration’s botched launch of health care enrollment by defining himself as a pragmatic victim of tea party conservatives while casting his policies on the economy and immigration as popular remedies that could win bipartisan support. “Right now in this

“But to do that we’re going to need Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, because there’s just a lot of work to be done right now.” Less than 24 hours later, pressing for an overhaul of immigration laws, Obama extended a hand to House Republican Speaker John Boehner. “Speaker Boehner is hopeful we can make progress” on immigration, Obama said Monday in San Francisco. “I believe the Speaker is sincere, I believe he genuinely wants to get it done.” The diverging messages reflect Obama’s dual desire to win a legislative victory even as he performs his duties as leader of the Democratic Party. “I’m not a particularly ideological person,” he said.

country there is at least one faction of one party that has decided they are more interested in stopping progress than advancing it, and aren’t interested in compromise or engaging in solving problems and more interested in scoring points for the next election,” he told Democratic donors in San Francisco on Monday. For Obama, the call for compromise is a veiled olive branch that also disguises a threat. “What we’re looking for is not the defeat of another party, what we’re looking for is the advancement of ideas that are going to vindicate those values that are tried and true,” he said at a fundraiser Sunday with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi seated among about 60 high-dollar donors.

Sedensky also said there was no clear indication why Lanza chose Sandy Hook Elementary for his rampage other than that it was close to his home.

In a footnote, Sedensky said a computer drive recovered from Lanza’s home might include important evidence but is unreadable.

average. In a news release Monday praising the high rate of increase, LaGrange County’s economic development agency said its average family size is much larger than the national average, affecting its per capita income rank. Three of the four
northeast counties held a relatively higher rank among the state’s counties 10 years ago. Per capita incomes and ranks in 2002 were: DeKalb $26,233, ranked 37th in the state; Steuben $24,986, ranked 54th; Noble $23,874, ranked 66th; and LaGrange $19,782, ranked 92nd.
AIRPORT: Commissioners choose new public defender for county FROM PAGE A1
Monday a state law allows airports to close roadways. The Airport Authority maintains it has followed the appropriate steps to close the roadway lawfully, authority member Brad Hartz told the commissioners Monday. “We have followed all of the legal requirements so that it is not a void decision,” Hartz said. “There should be no question that we operate in the appropriate manner when it comes to road closures. The resident should criticize us and the state for taking longer than necessary to pursue these projects, which have a direct economic benefit to the community.” The commissioners said they would meet with county attorney Don Stuckey and have him further research the matter. In other business Monday, the commissioners approved a recommendation to name deputy public defender Mark Olivero as the county’s chief public defender.
Olivero replaces former chief public defender Daniel Pappas, who recently resigned to accept a magistrate post in Allen Superior Court. Olivero has served as a deputy public defender for the county since 2001. Judge Kirk Carpenter said a committee formed to identify a candidate unanimously agreed upon Olivero. One of Olivero’s first tasks will be hiring a deputy public defender to replace himself. The commissioners also heard a request from three residents along C.R. 68 to lower the speed limit on the road between C.R. 11-A and S.R. 327. The residents told the commissioners that due to dips in the roadway and a lack of markings, the stretch can be dangerous at the posted 55 mph. The residents also requested limited truck traffic on the stretch. The commissioners will meet with county highway director Eric Patton next week to discuss the requests.

Pacers roll past Minnesota INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Pacers aren’t letting anybody keep up with the Georges. Certainly not Monday night. George Hill took care of the early work, scoring a season-high 26 points, and Paul George closed it out by scoring 11 of his 26 points during a decisive second-half stretch that finally allowed Indiana to pull away from Minnesota 98-84 for yet another win. “We just don’t rely on one person to do all the work,” Hill said. “We have multiple people who can make plays, who can play defense and things like that. We just continue to work together. We don’t know who’s night it’s going to be. All we know is we have one common goal and that’s to win the game.” The Pacers (13-1) are doing that at a record-setting pace this season. After opening with nine straight wins, they’ve followed their only loss with four more wins. They’re now a perfect 8-0 at home for the first time in franchise history, off to the best start in franchise history and 3-0 against the Western Conference. Monday’s win followed a familiar script. Indiana used a suffocating defense, a balanced offense and a strong bench and to put away scrappy Minnesota (8-8). But Hill and George proved to be too much. Hill dominated the first half, scoring 12 points as the Pacers took a 20-6 first-quarter lead. George took care of the rest, spurring the game-changing run that finally gave Indiana some breathing room in the second half. Together, they went 19 of

29 from the field and 7 of 8 on 3-pointers. Hill finished with seven assists, five steals and three rebounds, while George had eight rebounds, four assists and four steals. “It’s great, we’re playing together, we’re making smart plays,” Lance Stephenson said after scoring 13 points. “We have so many weapons, you don’t know who is going to have a big night.” Minnesota had other problems, too.

essentially turned the high-scoring Timberwolves into a three-man show. Kevin Love finished with 20 points and 17 rebounds, Nikola Pekovic had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Kevin Martin added 18 points. Minnesota’s other five players combined for 28 points and 19 rebounds — not nearly enough to turn back the white hot Pacers. What happened? Minnesota shot 32.6 percent from the field, was 3 of 19 on 3-pointers, had 19 turnovers and went 8½ minutes without a basket.
“We shot the ball poorly, plain and simple, and you are not going to win that many games doing that,” Love said. “We knew it was going to be a physical game and we tried to be physical right back. Then they went on that one run and were able to keep their distance.” Playing short-handed didn’t help. Chase Budinger missed the game with a left knee injury, Shabazz Muhammad sat out with a sprained right ankle and Ronny Turiaf missed the game with a right elbow injury.
Blue Jackets pound Maple Leafs TORONTO (AP) — Cam Atkinson and R.J. Umberger 20 seconds apart in the first period, and Ryan Johansen added two goals as the Columbus Blue Jackets routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-0 on Monday night. Jack Skille and Ryan Murray added goals 3:15 apart in the second period, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves for his fifth career NHL shutout. The Blue Jackets went 3-2 on their five-game road trip. Toronto’s James Reimer allowed all six goals on 21 shots two nights after he had a career-high, 49-save performance. Atkinson opened the scoring 10:18 in when he knocked Matt Calvert’s pass out of the air and past Reimer for his sixth goal. Umberger quickly added his sixth, putting home the rebound after Reimer made the initial save on Ryan Murray’s wraparound. James van Riemsdyk had Toronto best chance of the first period, one-timing Phil Kessel’s feed through Bobrovsky’s pads, but the

fed Skille on a 2-on-1 break for his first of the season and first with the Blue Jackets at 3:07 of the period. Skille drew a hooking penalty 2:13 later.
On the ensuing power play, Murray put Johansen’s feed past Reimer. Murray posted his first career multipoint game. The Blue Jackets scored
twice on their first four shots of the second period prompting the crowd to jeer Reimer following a routine save. Johansen finished a 2-on-1 feed from Nick Foligno at 9:05 of the third making it 5-0. Johansen then added his team-leading eighth goal at 11:25, ending Reimer’s night early. Reimer entered with a 6-2 record, NHL-best .947 save percentage, and a 2.10 goals-against average. Since allowing four goals to Ottawa and getting pulled in his second game of the season on Oct. 5, Reimer had stopped 156 of 161 shots at home. Reimer was 4-0 in five starts during that span. This was Reimer’s first start and loss against Columbus. Bernier made one save in relief. At 10:50 of the third, Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf was assessed a minor penalty for illegal contact to the head when he caught Columbus forward Artem Anisimov with an open-ice hit.
Colts look for solutions to inconsistency INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts coach Chuck Pagano keeps seeing the same problems on tape. The offense can’t convert third downs. The defense can’t get off the field. The slow starts have stalled Indy’s ground game, and the Colts are continually trying to dig themselves out of big holes. It’s a mess. “Everybody we play is good, you know that. Every team that you play is good, they’ve all got great players and so forth, so the margin for error is minute,” Pagano said Monday. “But that doesn’t mean that we’re going to go out there and play cautious and those types of things. I think we’ve just got to get back to playing football and playing better fundamentals and techniques and doing the things that we did early in the season.” Playing Colts football would be a start. Lately, nothing has gone right. Indy (7-4) opened this season
talking about power running and protecting Andrew Luck. But Luck has been sacked 24 times, and when Luck’s rushing stats are subtracted, Indy has averaged 4.1 yards per carry. Fans are growing increasingly concerned after losses of 29 and 30 points in two of the last three weeks, and four straight first halves that have been nothing short of dismal. But it may not be as bad as it seems. The Colts (7-4) still have a two-game lead in the AFC South over Tennessee (5-6) and could virtually wrap up the division title and a home playoff game with a win Sunday over the Titans. Indy hasn’t lost back-to-back games since Pagano took over last season, a span of 26 consecutive games, although a bunch of those wins were with Bruce Arians serving as interim coach while Pagano battled leukemia. Somehow the Colts have managed to go 4-1 against teams
currently in playoff position, with wins over Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and the Titans. Yet they are 3-3 against the rest of the league, and with a little help could be in position to earn a first-round bye — if they can pull themselves out of this tailspin. What will it take? That’s not entirely clear, either. Nothing has looked the same since the Colts lost Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne with a torn ACL late in their surprising Oct. 20 win over Denver. Luck has struggled to complete even 60 percent of his passes, and when the Cardinals took away receiver T.Y. Hilton on Sunday, it took Luck almost three full quarters to top 100 yards passing. “We knew people were going to take him out of the game, and you knew yesterday who shadowed him,” Pagano said. “We knew exactly going in what they’d probably do and they did it, they
put Pat (Peterson) on him and that’s what we can expect from here on out. He’s a game-wrecker, so to speak. If we were playing ourselves, we’d identify T.Y. as a guy that we can’t let wreck the game for us, and so we’d try to plan accordingly.” Defensively, however, the problems have been just alarming. Once ranked among the league’s best units in points allowed, Indy has given up 24 or more points six times in the last seven games and 93 points in the first half of the last four games. Some of what’s going on can be explained away as the effects of losing five key offensive players (Dwayne Allen, Vick Ballard, Ahmad Bradshaw, Donald Thomas and Wayne), none of whom will return this season. Losses of guys such as cornerback Greg Toler and even linebacker Erik Walden, who served a one-game league-imposed suspension Sunday, have hurt.

Dedicated Chargers about team BY BOB BUTTGEN bbuttgen@kpcmedia.com
LIGONIER — When the West Noble boys open their season tonight, at home against cross-county rival East Noble, fans will see a much different team on the floor than last year’s squad. And while that team jumped off to a hot start (10-0 and 14-1 at one point before ending at 15-6), the season ended with a first-round loss in the sectional. The Chargers fielded an exciting team last year. That winning momentum should carry over to this year, according to head coach Jim Best. This is Best’s third year at the helm of the Charger program and he leaves no doubt that his focus is on the team — not on individual players. “I believe that high school sports are about so much more than wins and losses,” Best said. “But don’t get me wrong — we strive to win every contest we can but there are so many life lessons that come about during every practice and contest. “These are really what high school athletics are about; being part of something much larger then yourself,” he added. “Coaches are entrusted with young boys and girls, and it is our job to help them understand what it means to be part of a vital, caring, responsible and loving community.” As for the team that will
be on the court tonight, Best said, “we will be guard heavy this year, we will have average height.” But that includes four guys 6-foot-3 or taller. The Chargers return four seniors: Drew Schermerhorn (6-foot-3); Phil Miller (6-foot-6); Brandon Evans (6-foot); and Landon Stover (5-foot-8), along with four experienced juniors: Brandon Moser (5-11), Kyler Warble (6-4); Nick Risser (5-9) and Waylon Richardson (6-5). “We will need to look for some new faces to do some scoring for us, but I know we have the kids to get that done,” Best said. “We see this season as being a great challenge with what I know will be a deeper conference as far as talent, and court experience and also a grueling non-conference schedule.” Last season, Schermerhorn was the team’s leading scorer until he went down with a severe ankle sprain and missed several games in the second half of the season. But he’s fully recovered and ready to score both from the perimeter and inside. Miller will be an inside presence for the Chargers with his height and experience. But he suffered a knee injury in practice earlier this month and probably will have to sit out the first few games for West Noble. Evans and Stover are both mature in their basketball skills and will provide quality back-court talent. Warble is still growing
and could turn into one of the biggest impact players on the team. Richardson is a proven athlete who played backup quarterback for Stover during West Noble’s football season. Moser and Richardson also are expected to contribute to their team’s success this season. A pair of sophomores, Grant Moser and Drew Wiley, also made the varsity team this year. The biggest voids lost to graduation are Nick Noe, power forward, and Nick Thomas, a sparkplug point guard. But for Best, a basketball season is more than names and numbers; it’s a growing, living thing that thrives both in and out of the gym. He hopes that by focusing on character issues, his boys will respond with quality wins on the hardwood. He has instituted new ideas and programs he hopes will be traditions for a long time at West Noble. Some are fun and easy, like the “soap and towel” intra-squad scrimmage he started. It gives fans a sneak peek at the team while allowing the Charger faithful to donate things his boys need. He also has his team staying busy in the community. A couple of weekends ago, the Chargers and most of their fathers went around the community doing yard work for their fans. It did much to foster goodwill between the players and their fans. He also started a

three-ball booster club that helps raise money for the school for every three-point basket made by a player, through pledges from fans. That program he said, is all about “giving those in the community a chance to support the boys without a huge donation, and in turn we have the ‘power house’ room that members can use as a coat check, get light refreshments, pick up a limited information scouting report on the opponent and watch a tape of the Chargers’ last

game.” It also offers fans a chance to hang out with coaches, players, cheerleaders, families and others who have joined the club. “Hopefully, this will instill a attitude of servanthood and a understanding of some of the needs that are out there, and a understanding of how easy it can be to do these types of things when we all pull together,” said Best. “We have a group of outstanding young boys who are in the
process of becoming young men, and a fantastic mix of young men who are striving hard to be examples to these young boys and others in our community. “We are looking forward to getting back to the hardwood and all the experiences that a high school season presents.” Kevin Hunter returns as an assistant coach while Kyle Grimm, who recently earned a degree at Trine University after a stellar athletic career at West Noble, is a new
Garrett looks to build off last season BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
GARRETT — The good news for the Garrett boys basketball team under sixth-year head coach John Bodey is that two of the team’s top three scorers from last year are back, along with two role players who averaged between 3-5 poitns per game. With that kind of offensive production returning, Bodey is optimistic about his team’s chances to better last year’s 8-12 record. “We had a lot of close games last year,” Bodey said. “Other than Heritage, there were really no blowouts. Last year, the (scoring) balance between some of the players was at eight points per game. Hopefully this year, that’s 10-11 points per game. “Watching this summer, I think we can score; defending and rebounding at a high level is going to be the key for us.” Garrett’s top returning scorer from last season is back in junior guard/forward Justin McCoy. McCoy
averaged 13.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game last year while hitting 35 percent of his 3-point attempts. “He’s one of the best shooters in the area. He’s added something to his game this year so hopefully he’s a little more than just a shooter. He can do a few other things that make him a little harder to guard,” Bodey said. “He loves the game and he’s one of those kids that works at home in the driveway. He doesn’t miss a workout and he gets a lot of shots up. He has a quick release and can get his shot up.” The Railroaders’ third leading scorer from last season also returns in 6-foot-7 senior Matt Singleton (8.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 0.8 blocks per game). “He should be counted on to do more this year in his senior year,” Bodey said. Also returning is senior guard/forward Karsten Cooper, the only other player on the roster who played in all 20 games last year (4.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.5 assists, 1.2
steals per game) besides McCoy. “He’s just a real good defensive player, and has the ability to score off of penetration,” Bodey said. “He can hit the open jumper, also.” Those three are the top returners, but Bodey said that any of the 10 players identified on the roster as varsity players are capable of starting from game-to-game. “We have competition for spots and that’s a good thing,” Bodey said. One of a handful of players vying for a position is 6-4 junior Tommy Reneau (0.5 ppg, 0.9 rpg), who saw action in 14 games last year. “He mainly played JV last year and did some spot time on the varsity,” Bodey said. “He’ll be one of our better rebounders, and he’s leaning how to score inside. Others competing for spots include junior Jared Estep, senior Andrea Rosati (a foreign exchange student), senior Mike Cooper (a transfer from Benton Central), junior Layton Casselman (0.5 ppg in 11

Layton has gotten stronger and can shoot the ball. He’s developed his rebounding and become a better rebounder this summer. “Kordell can just shoot the ball. He’s a real good shooter and should make us harder to guard. The more guys you have that can shoot the ball, the more spread the defense gets and opens things up for you.” Also in the mix is junior James Benson, who played

in two games last year. “He’s a kid that loves the games, works hard, does anything you ask him to do and you always have a spot for those guys,” Bodey said. While Garrett’s strength appears to be outside shooting, Bodey would prefer the team build its offense inside-out with Singleton, Reneau and other post players. “We need a little more balance inside-out,” Bodey said. “We’ve had the ability to drive and go inside, we just need to do a little more of that. “I think we’re better offensively. The key for us is how well we defend and how well we rebound.” This is Garrett’s last season in the Allen County Athletic Conference before
the Railroaders move back to the conference they were in a decade ago, the Northeast Corner Conference. Garrett has yet to win an ACAC title, but Bodey is hopeful this is the year they can break the string. “Knowing Leo and Woodlan are going to be strong and we have them at home, we think we’re going to be good enough to compete against them,” Bodey said. “It’s a tough sectional — Concordia, Luers, Dwenger and New Haven is going to be one of the best teams that comes down from 4A. It’s tough sectional but hopefully we’ll improve this year and are ready when the sectional gets here.” Garrett opens its season Wednesday at Eastside.

Bulls star Derrick Rose out for season CHICAGO (AP) — Derrick Rose’s comeback turned out to be a cameo, and the Chicago Bulls’ worst nightmare became a reality again. The Bulls’ hopes about contending for a championship this season took a serious hit. Their long-term plans appear to be up in the air, too. The team said Rose will miss the remainder of the season after having surgery Monday morning in Chicago to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. For the Bulls and their point guard, it’s an all-too-familiar spot. “I felt for him. He is a great person, first and foremost,” coach Tom Thibodeau said before
Chicago played at Utah. Rose was injured Friday night at Portland, a huge setback for him and the organization. The 2011 NBA MVP missed all of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Chicago’s 2012 playoff opener against Philadelphia. He has played in just 50 NBA games — 49 in the regular season and that lone playoff game — since the Bulls’ run to the Eastern Conference finals during his MVP season. The latest injury occurred in the third quarter against the Trail Blazers. He lost his footing while
trying to change direction to get back on defense when Nicolas Batum stole a pass from Joakim Noah and started the other way. Rose limped across the court and couldn’t put any weight on his knee. After the Blazers scored, he came out of the game during a timeout. It didn’t appear there was any contact on the play. Rose was unable to return and was on crutches afterward. With Rose back, the Bulls were expected to challenge LeBron James and the Miami Heat for supremacy in the Eastern Conference and contend for their first championship since the Michael Jordan-Scottie
Pippen era. Instead, they’re in a familiar spot — trying to get by without their cornerstone player. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement he was “heartbroken” when he heard about Rose’s injury. “Everyone at the Bulls knows firsthand how extremely hard Derrick worked to return to the court this year, and I have no doubt he will do the same with regards to his recovery from this injury,” Reinsdorf added. “Despite Derrick’s absence, this is still a good team. I know from last year, this team and coaching staff will continue to make our fans proud.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Bryant’s contract extended EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers signed Kobe Bryant to a two-year contract extension Monday, securing the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history into his 20th season with the franchise. Bryant hasn’t played this season while recovering from surgery on his torn Achilles tendon in April, but the Lakers didn’t wait to renew their commitment to the five-time NBA champion before he got anywhere close to the free-agent market next summer. Bryant inked the deal with owner Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak at his side in agent Rob Pelinka’s office moments before the Lakers left for an East Coast road trip. Bryant, Buss and Kupchak all had repeatedly stated Bryant wouldn’t leave his only NBA home. The 35-year-old guard quickly tweeted a picture of his signature with the hashtag: Laker4Life. “This is a very happy day for Lakers fans and for the Lakers organization,” Kupchak said in a statement. “We’ve said all along that our priority and hope was to have Kobe finish his career as a Laker, and this should ensure that that happens.” Bryant has spent more than half of his life playing for the Lakers, and if he fulfills his new contract, he will break John Stockton’s record of 19 seasons with one NBA franchise. But Kobe’s legacy in L.A. already is secure: No less than Magic Johnson and Jerry West have declared Bryant the franchise’s greatest player, given his fistful of championship rings and his consistent brilliance while scoring more points than anybody in a Lakers uniform. Although Bryant is taking a pay cut from his $30.45 million salary this season, Kobe and the Lakers didn’t exactly agree to a hometown discount, either. ESPN reported the deal is worth $48.5 million, keeping Kobe among the NBA’s highestpaid players. Some fans grumbled online that the contract will limit the Lakers’ flexibility in the free-agent market next summer, clouding their starry-eyed dreams of signing Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James. Other fans approved the payout as a reward for an iconic player who still ranked among the NBA’s most dangerous scorers before his injury.
No. 3 Wildcats rally to win LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Andrew Harrison’s three-point play broke a 57-all tie before twin brother Aaron followed with a 3-pointer with 1:20 remaining, helping No. 3 Kentucky escape stubborn Cleveland State 68-61 on Monday night. Trailing 54-44 with 7:41 remaining and needing a breakthrough against the Vikings, the brothers helped the Wildcats (5-1) close with a 24-7 run including a pair of Aaron Harrison lobs inside to Willie Cauley-Stein for dunks along with a three-point play with 3:55 left to tie it at 54. After Bryn Forbes’ 3-pointer provided a 57-56 lead, Cauley-Stein made one of two free throws before Andrew Harrison followed with his drive and free throw. Aaron Harrison added a 3-point for a six-point lead. Andrew Harrison scored 12 as the brothers combined for 23.
Haren signs with Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dan Haren wanted to pitch for a World Series contender next season, and he was eager to get back to his native Southern California. Haren found everything he wanted at Dodger Stadium. The right-hander agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with the Dodgers on Monday, adding another veteran arm to Los Angeles’ deep rotation. The deal includes $3 million in performance bonuses and a $10 million vesting option for 2015. Haren was eager for a change after spending last season in Washington, where he went 10-14 with a 4.67 ERA even with a strong finish to the season. He missed his wife and children during his year on the East Coast, and the 11-year veteran seized the chance to return home after spending the previous three seasons with the Angels. “My kids are growing up, and to have the opportunity to come back so close to home and pitch for a championship-level club, it couldn’t have happened any better for me,” Haren said. The three-time All-Star went 33-27 with the Angels, enduring a rough final season. He also got off to a slow start with the Nationals, but Haren regained enough of his form to make him attractive on the limited free-agent market.
Cards defend Peralta signing ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals factored in Jhonny Peralta’s drug suspension when they negotiated a $53 million, four-year contract with the free agent shortstop. General manager John Mozeliak said Monday that Peralta had admitted wrongdoing and served his penalty, and that the Cardinals weren’t about to appoint themselves “morality police.” “Character and makeup are something we weigh into our decision-making,” Mozeliak said. “In his case, he admitted what he did, he took responsibility for it. I feel like he has paid for his mistakes, and obviously if he were to make another one, then it would be a huge disappointment.” Mozeliak agreed with critics that penalties aren’t strict enough.

Proceed with caution on new tax cuts Republicans hold such a strong majority in state government, they basically can do what they want in the 2014 session of the state legislature. But they’re having a hard time deciding what to do about adding a major tax break for business Tax cuts sound good in Indiana. Last week. until they cause a tax Republicans increase on someone in the Indiana else, threaten public House of Represensafety or reduce our tatives said eliminating quality of life. or reducing the business personal property tax would be one of their top priorities this winter. Businesses pay the tax on machinery, computers, furniture and other equipment. Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma called on House members to create a fair business tax policy to match other Midwestern states. Putting pressure on us, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois already have eliminated their personal property taxes. Indiana Chamber of Commerce president Kevin Brinegar has said that leaves Indiana at competitive disadvantage for luring new business to the state. Without getting specific, Gov. Mike Pence said last week he supports “more pro-growth tax relief, particularly focused on encouraging investment in industry in Indiana.” Wait just a minute, said Indiana Senate President David Long, R-Fort Wayne. Long pointed out that the personal property tax brings in $1 billion per year for local government and schools. He wanted to know how Indiana is going to replace that money. “We should not be afraid to look at this, but … if we don’t do it right, it could have a negative impact, a serious negative impact on the revenues for local governments,” Long said. The Association of Indiana Counties has come out against eliminating the tax, saying it would force local governments to cut services. The association warned that the burden of replacing the business personal property tax could fall on homeowners. Indiana Republican leaders are proud of their steps to reduce property taxes on homeowners in recent years. Those tax cuts forced local governments to learn how to operate on less money. Local leaders might be able to make even more cutbacks, but eventually they could reach their limit. Tax cuts sound good until they cause a tax increase on someone else, threaten public safety or reduce our quality of life. As they try to keep Indiana taxes competitive for business, Indiana legislators should be careful not to put other taxpayers or good local government at risk. We don’t want Indiana to become a state where everyone wants to do business, but nobody wants to live here.

Letters to The Editor • Albion community is a blessing to many
fact. The chuckles came in the fact that Mr. Truman’s letter was opinion and not facts either! 1. Man made global warming incontrovertible as it is overwhelming. Why then is it that many scientists have debunked it and are trying to figure out why the earth has been cooling over the last 15 years or so? 2. Obama was born in Hawaii, so far every birth certificate provided by Obama has been proven to be fake or altered, so was he born in Hawaii? Doesn’t really matter as his mother was a U.S. citizen therefore affording him the same rights as if he was born here or not. 3. Those opposing Obamacare are in the minority not the majority. Most polls show 54 percent to 55 percent opposed to Obamacare. Isn’t that a majority? 4. Voter fraud not rampant or done by illegals. Fraud was reported in many precincts in many different states and illegals claimed to have voted. So where is he getting his info? 5. Obama is a baptized and professing Christian. All I can say to that one is, actions speak much louder than words! I do not know Mr. Truman personally but from what I gather from his comments, he is an Obama supporter that does not like anyone saying anything bad about Obama.

GOP opposes President Obama’s policies, not the man In the wake of President Obama’s latest tweak, two salient questions have emerged: Can the Affordable Care Act survive? Can the president even do what he did, legally? Though brilliant minds may differ, the president is probably within bounds, according to a compelling argument by Simon Lazarus, senior counsel at the Constitutional Accountability Center. The relevant constitutional text, he writes on The Atlantic’s website, requires that the president “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” a broad-enough concept to allow for judgment in the execution. The only prohibition is that the president not fail to execute the law owing to his opposition to a policy. Obviously, this is not the case here. As a political matter, it is also obvious that Obama is merely trying to right his own sinking ship, especially after Bill Clinton’s undoubtedly heartfelt advice

The high court didn’t endorse Obamacare as a good idea. It didn’t even find the individual mandate constitutional. It ruled that the mandate/penalty is constitutional only if the penalty is viewed as a “tax.” If one were to examine this gift horse’s mouth, one would have to note that, funny, but throughout the health care debate and oral arguments, and even now,
Democrats have insisted that the penalty is not a tax. Paging George Orwell. Whether the ACA survives the new timetable remains an open question. The plan sinks or swims on the basis of young, healthy people signing up, which, for now, they cannot do except in dribs and drabs. Further, the ACA clearly needed the canceled policyholders to buy new, more expensive policies to underwrite subsidies and pre-existing conditions. Given the season, the timing of these un-glad tidings could not be worse. Soon enough, Americans will figure out whether Obamacare is the gift Democrats promised — or if Obama is the Grinch who stole, you know, the holiday season.

Meeting ‘good guy’ online is possible DEAR ABBY: May I address a question you printed on July 24? “Where Are the Good Guys?” has trouble meeting men and wrote about seeking sexual partners on Craigslist. You answered that there were no good men there. Well, I met my boyfriend of two years through a “no strings attached” ad I posted on Craigslist. It turns out we had a strong attraction and chemistry, and he’s one of my best friends. So what if we were adults who wanted a casual relationship to start with? Don’t judge everyone that way. The reason that woman is having problems is she’s using the site to find sex partners when she really wants more. She needs to look in the “relationship” section or on a relationship site. Don’t blame men for wanting to have sex when that’s what she’s advertising. They aren’t all “bad.” They are actually more truthful than she is. —

For example, tell your child that if she does not pick up her toys before bed, she will not be allowed to play with them the next day. • Ignore harmless behaviors. Decide which issues are worth a battle and which are not. Consider ignoring behaviors that are harmless, such as temper tantrums or whining. What about spanking? Studies have shown that it isn’t as effective in changing long-term behaviors as positive reinforcement and other forms of discipline. In fact, spanking may actually make kids more aggressive in the future. Once I was the on-call doctor for a physician group that included a pediatrician.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My sister and I both have young children. She believes that toddlers are too young to discipline, but I think it’s important to establish rules and consequences early. What do you think? DEAR READER: Discipline is important for all children, including babies and toddlers. Disciplining your toddler means teaching and protecting your child, both at once. Your goal is to keep her safe by teaching her self-control and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. Discipline does not mean punishment. There are various ways to discipline a young child. You will probably use all of them at some time or another: • Express your disapproval. Go to your child, look him straight in the eyes, and say “No” or “Stop.” Tell him what he should not do and why. Tell your child what the

Do you think I should spank him?” You may think I made up that story, but you can’t make this stuff up. It really happened. I suggested that she discipline him in any way she felt was appropriate — if she wanted to protect him, her, the other kids, the home and neighborhood. Final piece of advice: Always try to catch your child being good. Look for positive behaviors and compliment them. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Alicia Keys visits typhoon victims Walmart chooses successor to CEO MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys visited a Philippine air force base Monday to bring cheer to hundreds of evacuees from eastern provinces wracked by Typhoon Haiyan. The American singer distributed crayons and coloring books to children at the Villamor Air Base grandstand, where evacuees from eastern Leyte and Samar provinces arrive via C-130 planes. Social Welfare Department officer Jane Abello says Keys stayed for about half an hour to chat with evacuees. The R&B star was in Manila for a concert Monday at the seaside MOA Arena. The Philippine Star earlier quoted her as saying that “music has a way of lifting your spirit and that’s what I hope to do for the Filipino people.” Keys tweeted three days after the Nov. 8 typhoon:

She also encouraged fans around the world to

Report of gunman at Yale likely hoax NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Police have not found a gunman at Yale University and are leaning toward a call warning of an armed man heading to shoot up the school being a hoax, as a lockdown was lifted for most of the Ivy League campus Monday. “New Haven is safe. The Yale campus is safe,” said New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman. A lockdown remained in
effect on the Old Campus Monday afternoon as police search rooms to confirm that no gunman is on campus. There have been no reports of shots fired or anyone injured. A 911 call was received at 9:48 a.m. from a man at a pay phone about a mile from the campus who said his roommate was on the way to the university to shoot people, said Officer David Hartman, a New
Haven Police spokesman. “Though it is starting to tilt in the direction of an innocent mistake, it started with a purposeful and malicious call,” Esserman said, vowing to track down and arrest the person who made the call. The hunt, which came as the school was on November break, was stymied by students who had stayed behind and were afraid to open their doors,
police said. Police later received reports from witnesses who reported seeing someone with a gun, Hartman said. But he said it was possible they had simply seen officers responding to the initial call. There was nothing specific about the threat, he said, and the call lasted only seconds. There were no reports of shots fired or anyone injured.
Walmart’s latest fiscal year. In that role, McMillon has been expanding Walmart’s everyday low prices to Brazil and China, while trying to boost profitability by closing some stores in those countries. “This is a very natural progression,” said Brian Sozzi, CEO and chief equities strategist at Belus Capital Advisors. “Walmart’s engine of growth has been international.” McMillon and Duke declined interviews with The Associated Press through the company’s spokesman Dave Tovar. McMillon faces challenges. Walmart is seeing its low-income shoppers in the U.S. struggling with stagnant wages and rising costs. At the same time, Walmart faces fierce competition from online competitors and dollar chains that offer convenience and lower prices. The company also has image problems. Walmart is being pressured to further increase its oversight of factory conditions abroad following a building collapse in April in Bangladesh that killed more than 1,127 garment workers. And it continues to face criticism over its treatment of its hourly workers. Additionally, allegations of bribery in Walmart’s Mexico operations that surfaced in April 2012 have slowed business overseas.
BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Walmart Stores Inc. is ushering in a changing of the guard as the world’s largest retailer confronts slower growth and challenges to its reputation. Doug McMillon, head of Walmart’s international division, will succeed CEO and President Mike Duke, 63, when he steps down on Feb. 1 after five years in those roles. McMillon, a 23-year company veteran, will become the fifth CEO since Walmart’s founder Sam Walton. The change at the top is indicative of a recent shift in strategy at the company best known for its cutthroat pricing and big box stores. McMillon, 47, is expected to infuse a youthful spirit into Walmart’s culture at a time when the company is trying to reinvent itself to attract a generation of shoppers who gravitate toward tablets and mobile devices. The move also is a testament to the company’s continued focus on its international division. McMillon, who started at the company in 1984 as a summer intern, left and came back in 1990 to work at a Walmart store before holding several jobs, including a three-year stint as president and CEO of the Sam’s Club division. But in February 2009, he succeeded Duke to head the international division, which accounted for 29 percent of its $466.1 billion in annual net sales in
Syria, opposition to hold talks GENEVA (AP) — Syria’s government and opposition will meet for the first time in an attempt to halt the nearly 3-year-old civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people, the United Nations said Monday. Previous attempts to bring the two sides together have failed, mainly because of disputes over who should represent the opposition and the government, Syrian President Bashar Assad’s future role in the country, and whether Iran, Saudi Arabia and other regional powers should be at the table. The announcement comes the day after Tehran and world powers agreed to
a six-month nuclear deal in Geneva. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the government and opposition to help the Jan. 22 conference to be held in Geneva succeed by taking steps to stop the violence, provide access for desperately needed humanitarian aid, release detainees, and help hundreds of thousands of refugees and internally displaced people return to their homes. “We go with a clear understanding: The Geneva conference is the vehicle for a peaceful transition that fulfills the legitimate aspirations of all the Syrian people for freedom and
dignity, and which guarantees safety and protection to all communities in Syria,” he told reporters at U.N. headquarters. He said a key goal would be the establishment of a transitional government with powers over military and security. A full list of participants has not yet been decided on. The U.N. did not specify who will be representing Syria’s opposition at the talks, but Britain’s foreign secretary said the main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, will participate. The group has limited control over the myriad rebel groups fighting Assad’s forces.
AP
Flames rise from a fuel tank that was burned by rebels’ shelling at a fuel refinery in Homs, Syria, last week. Syria’s government and opposition will hold their
first peace talks on Jan. 22 in Geneva, in an attempt to halt the nearly 3-year-old civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people, the United Nations said Monday.
