Deputy-shooting sentence upheld Court agrees with 45-year term BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com

Serving DeKalb County since 1871
INDIANAPOLIS — While her expressions of remorse are “commendable,” a 38-year sentence handed down to a woman for her role in the shooting of Waterloo Deputy Marshal Steve Brady is appropriate, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. Julie Marie King of Auburn pleaded guilty to aiding in attempted murder, a Class A felony, as part of an agreement filed in DeKalb Superior Court II.
On May 6, Judge Monte Brown sentenced King to 45 years in prison with seven years suspended and 38 years to serve — the maximum allowed under terms of the plea agreement. King appealed, contending the sentence was inappropriate in light of the nature of the offense and her character. Reviewing the case history, the Court of Appeals noted that in October 2011, King allowed a married couple, Ralph and Cassie Hardiek, to move in with her after the Hardieks became homeless.
The three friends regularly used methamphetamine, and Cassie Hardiek began serving time for a drug offense. King and Ralph Hardiek then began a casual sexual relationship. On Dec. 8, 2011, Ralph Hardiek failed King to appear for a sentencing hearing after pleading guilty to dealing in methamphetamine. Between Dec. 8 and Dec. 11, Hardiek and King drove to Coldwater, Mich., where they had several guns illegally modified by Thomas McCauley.
An immature bald eagle stands on the edge of the ice on Hamilton Lake’s Muskrat Bay while eating a bite on Wednesday morning. There were mature eagles nearby, reports Brad Stevens. Birding enthusiast Fred Wooley, who is naturalist at Pokagon State Park, estimated the age of the bird at around 2 years old. It is not from the nesting family that has made its home at Pokagon.
Three Indiana sites join Superfund list INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The federal Environmental Protection Agency has added sites in South Bend, Indianapolis and Garden City to its national priorities list of Superfund sites. The EPA says being placed on the list doesn’t obligate it to pay for the cleanup, but does identify the size and nature of the cleanup challenges. Nine sites were added to the list overall.

McCauley filed the trigger guards off several handguns, including a .44-special revolver, and sawed the barrel off a shotgun, the Court of Appeals said. On Dec. 13, King drove to a gun store in New Haven, where she bought ammunition for the .44-special and gave it to Hardiek. The Court of Appeals noted King and Hardiek planned to move to another state, but they were low on money. On Dec. 13, 2011, they returned to McCauley’s home. In the early morning of Dec. 15, King and Hardiek began knocking on the doors of houses in DeKalb County. The inhabitants of two

Governor honors area man Late Don Moore becomes Sagamore BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — With family members and city and county officials looking on, state Rep. David Ober, R-Albion, presented Don Moore Jr. with his father Don Moore’s Sagamore of the Wabash honor in a brief ceremony Wednesday at American Legion Post 86. “It’s amazes me how influential he was to everyone,” Moore Jr. said about his father. Don Moore died Jan. 13. He was one of the community’s most energetic supporters and the owner of radio station WAWK-FM The Hawk in Kendallville. Moore served as an Army intelligence analyst in the Vietnam War. He was an entrepreneur, operating Don Moore Productions
and Minuteman Mowing Services. He served as Noble County Council president, Kendallville Chamber of Commerce president, Kendallville Downtown Business Association president and commander of American Legion Post 86. The Sagamore of the Wabash award is one of the most prestigious honors given by the office of Gov. Mike Pence. It recognizes Hoosiers for citizenship, distinguished service to humanity, leadership and inspiration of others. “We’re here to pay tribute to a man who was huge part of this community,” said Ober. “He gave me advice that I follow today. He said if you do your job right, you’re not a politician — you’re a leader.”
Ober, Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe and Dr. Jerry Jansen, who was appointed to the Noble County Council to fill Moore’s unexpired term, were influential in supporting Moore for the honor. “There was no R or D after Don’s name. He had a big heart for his community,” said Handshoe. Jansen recalled how he got to know Moore 30 years ago when they were in Kendallville Jaycees. He spoke about Moore’s service to his community. Don Moore Jr. said if his dad saw something that needed to be done, he did it. “If you want something done and done right, do it yourself, he always told me. He didn’t do things for the recognition or the glamour, he did them because of the cause,” Moore Jr. said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With time running short, the nation’s health care rolls still aren’t filling up fast enough. New signup numbers Wednesday showed progress for President Barack Obama’s health care law, but not enough to guarantee that Americans who want and need coverage by Jan. 1 will be able to get it. Crunch time is now, as people face a Dec. 23 deadline to sign up if they are to have coverage by New Year’s. That means more trouble for the White House, too, after months of repairing a dysfunctional enrollment website. Next year could start with a new round of political recriminations over the Affordable Care Act, “Obamacare” to its opponents. The Health and Human Services Department reported that 364,682 people had signed up for private coverage under the law as of Nov. 30. That is more than three times the October figure, but still less than one-third of the 1.2 million that officials had projected would enroll nationwide by the end of November. The administration’s overall goal was to sign up 7 million people by next March 31, when open enrollment ends. Secretary Kathleen Sebelius assured Congress on Wednesday that “we are seeing very, very positive trends” now that HealthCare.gov is working reasonably well. She also announced that she’d asked the department’s inspector general for an indepenSEE HEALTH, PAGE A8
Budget compromise gains grudging support WASHINGTON (AP) — A newly minted budget deal to avert future government shutdowns gained important ground Wednesday among House Republicans who are more accustomed to brinkmanship than compromise, even though it would nudge federal deficits higher three years in a row. There was grumbling from opposite ends of the political spectrum — conservatives complaining about spending levels and liberal Democrats unhappy there would be no extension of an expiring program of benefits for the long-term unemployed. Yet other lawmakers, buffeted by criticism after last October’s partial government shutdown, found plenty to like in the agreement and suggested it could lead to future cooperation. The plan was announced Tuesday evening by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep. Paul Ryan,
R-Wis., and quickly endorsed by President Barack Obama. A House vote was expected as early as Thursday as lawmaker race to wrap up their work for the year. “A lot of folks will probably vote for it even though they would rather not support this type of legislation, but we have to get the spending issue completed so that there is some consistency in the future,” said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the agreement “a breath of fresh air” that could lead to further progress. Added House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, “If you’re for more deficit reduction, you’re for this agreement.” Boehner also took a swipe at outside groups that helped steer Republicans toward the politically damaging shutdown and opposed SEE BUDGET, PAGE A8
Stutzman, Hoosiers undecided BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com
WASHINGTON — As a budget hawk, U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Howe, says there is a lot not to like about the budget proposal he will be voting on today. It won’t shrink the national debt, which stands at $17 trillion and counting, Stutzman said. The budget will cut $23 billion into the budget deficit over the next 10 years, but actually will increase the deficit in the short term. “It’s still way out of balance,” Stutzman said of government spending. On the upside, the proposal would provide a degree of certainty and stability.
Those are the main issues Stutzman will be weighing before deciding how to cast his vote. He is not alone in putting some serious thought into his choice. Indiana’s delegation to the U.S. Senate is also waiting until more details are known about Stutzman the budget deal before deciding on a yay or nay vote. “While I look forward to reviewing the details, I am concerned that this deal may be another missed opportunity SEE STUTZMAN, PAGE A8

Waterloo’s town manager leaving for new post BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
WATERLOO — DeWayne Nodine has resigned as Waterloo’s town manager, a position he’s held for more than a decade. Nodine has accepted a position with the city of Fort Wayne as a program manager with City Utilities. His resignation is effective Friday, though he will remain with the town on a part-time basis until a replacement is hired. “It’s been a great experience,” Nodine told the
Waterloo Town Council Tuesday evening. “Every once in a while, I think it’s just time to move on, and that time has come.” Council President Candi Surber praised the work Nodine has accomplished during his tenure as the town’s manager, saying he has saved the town untold thousands and, likely, millions of dollars through his expertise and understanding. Surber said replacing Nodine will be no small task. “We would not be here tonight without his
leadership,” said Surber. “I have not served a day without him being here, and I cannot imagine how this town got along back in the day. We are indebted to you, DeWayne, and we thank you. You will be missed.” The council will advertise for the position. Surber could not say when the town hopes to have a new town manager in place, other than to joke, “Tomorrow.” In other business Tuesday evening, the council awarded annual
Pillar of the Community awards to three individuals and a corporation. Receiving the award, which honors those who make significant contributions to make the town a better place to live and work, were: Jerry and Jo Hart of Hart’s Super Valu; Chris Albright of Country Stone; and Nucor Building Systems. The Nucor award was accepted by Emily Vanover and Jeremy Pfefferkorn. The council also: • approved a $5,304 project to install new high-tech lift station
monitors on the lift stations at MetalX and the Waterloo Grille. Nodine said the new monitors will alert officials to power failures or fluctuations in voltage or amps. Data can be viewed from off-site anywhere with an Internet connection, Nodine said. • awarded a construction contract to Hamilton Hunter Builders Inc. for work on the Waterloo Grant Township Public Library’s expansion project. The $1,375,470 job will be paid once a bond issue is released next week. The
library will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Dec. 29 at 3 p.m. • approved an interim salary ordinance that grants town employees (other than council members) 2 percent raises, and police officers 6 percent raises. The council will revisit the salary ordinance next year, it said. • renewed its contract with town attorney David Kruse that raises his pay 2 percent. • reappointed Paula McGrath to the board of the DeKalb County Council on Aging.

Judge receives proposed Showgirl injunction BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — A proposed injunction against Angola would prevent the city from enforcing its sexually oriented business laws against Alva Butler and the Showgirl strip club he has tried unsuccessfully to open. The injunction also would also nullify zoning changes that effectively have prevented the former Slider’s Grill and Bar site from being used as a sexually oriented business. The proposed injunction
is sitting before U.S. Federal District Court Judge Robert L. Miller, South Bend. The proposed injunction was filed by attorneys for Butler, who along with his wife, Sandra, sued the city in March after their efforts to open a strip club were thwarted by law changes in Angola. Miller requested the proposed injunction language be filed with the court in a Nov. 13 hearing. He said his request didn’t necessarily mean he would grant the motion.
“It’s not a bad thing that he’s asking for a proposed order and findings of fact,” said Matthew Hoffer, one of Butler’s attorneys. Butler, of Fort Wayne, bought the former Slider’s property, 310 W. Wendell Jacob Ave., in August 2012 with the intent of opening a Showgirl strip club. Butler is the founder of the Showgirl clubs in Fort Wayne and is current owner of Showgirl III. Showgirl I is owned by Butler’s son, James Butler. In hearings in federal
court in October and November, Butler’s attorneys, Bradley Shaffer and Hoffer, of Lansing, Mich., argued that city officials intentionally enacted laws and enforced building codes to prevent Butler from opening. Attorneys for the city have argued that Angola officials were correct in their application of existing laws and the creation of new ordinances as they related to sexually oriented businesses and zoning. When Butler bought the former Slider’s, the C-2 zone in which the property lies allowed sexually oriented businesses.
In November, the city changed its zoning to allow such businesses only in an industrial zone. Both sides have until Dec. 20 to file findings of fact concerning the motion for preliminary injunction. If the judge follows the recommended language from Shaffer and Hoffer, the city would not be able to apply its sexually oriented business ordinance against Butler and his company, BBL Inc. Also, the city would not be allowed to require that Butler get an improvement location permit to convert the former restaurant to a strip club.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis police officer’s lawsuit against the original seller of a handgun later used to wound him might have to overcome a state law that gives gun sellers significant immunity. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Marion County court by the Washington-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence claims KS&E Sports of Indianapolis negligently sold the handgun used to shoot Officer Dwayne Runnels in 2011. Runnels was wounded in the leg during an exchange of gunfire in which Demetrious Martin was killed. Tarus Blackburn pleaded guilty to federal charges of illegally selling the weapon to Martin, who couldn’t legally possess a firearm because he was a convicted felon. The lawsuit claims Blackburn accompanied Martin to KS&E Sports in October 2011, bought a gun and then sold it to Martin in the store’s parking lot. The lawsuit alleges the gun shop’s workers should have known Blackburn was making a “straw purchase” for Martin. “I’m bringing the lawsuit because I do not want criminals to get guns,” Runnels said. “I don’t want another officer or a civilian to be shot by one of these criminals, and every officer out there puts their life on the line every day that they go to work.”

Off-track betting moving to New Haven FORT WAYNE (AP) — The Hoosier Park horse track is looking to pull in more gamblers to its Fort Wayne off-track betting parlor with a $2 million project moving it to a new location. The Indiana Horse Racing Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved the Anderson-based track’s proposal. The betting parlor will move from its site since 1996 on the city’s north side to a New Haven shopping center near a supermarket and a state license branch office. Officials of Hoosier Park parent company Centaur Gaming estimate the betting parlor’s revenue will jump by 50 percent in two years. Wagering at the Fort Wayne OTB has dropped by about one-third since 2008 to $7.7 million in 2012.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nearly 2,800 Indiana residents chose a health insurance plan through the federally run online exchange during its second month of operation — about four times the number who obtained coverage through the glitch-plagued exchange in its first month, the federal government said Wednesday. A total of 3,492 Indiana residents chose health insurance plans through the exchange between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30, according to figures released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That’s up from just 701 Hoosiers who selected health plans during the exchange’s first month. But the nearly 3,500 Indiana residents who obtained health plans through the exchange by Nov. 30 is only a tiny fraction of the more than 500,000 Hoosiers eligible to do so.

Deaths & Funerals • Elayne LaFlame
Dustin Tucker
CLEAR LAKE — Elayne M. LaFlame, age 89, died Tuesday, December 10, 2013, in Angola, Indiana. Born April, 27, 1924, Elayne grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and Montigue, Michigan. She and her late husband, Frank E. LaFlame, raised their family in Dayton, Ohio. After Mrs. Frank retired LaFlame from General Motors, they spent time traveling the United States in their RV. They also enjoyed their winters in Bonita Springs, Florida, and summers at Clear Lake, Indiana. They loved having their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren visit them wherever they found themselves. Elayne was a wonderful cook and seamstress and an avid reader.

A Japanese torpedo heavily damaged Jack Garrett’s ship, the light cruiser USS Saint Louis, during a World War II naval battle in the Pacific.
Pearl Harbor survivor recalls ‘Lucky Lou’ On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, Shipfitter 1st Class John “Jack” Garrett was aboard the light cruiser USS Saint Louis tied up next to its sister ship, the light cruiser Helena, in Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. His job on the heavily armored ship was hull maintenance and repair, but not on that morning. The 20-year-old Fort Wayne native was getting ready to go ashore when Japanese bombers, torpedo planes and fighter aircraft attacked the U.S. Navy fleet in the harbor. Seventy-two years later, the 93-year-old Pearl Harbor veteran rode in a military-style jeep in Saturday’s Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade, exposed to the freezing, wintry temperatures. “It wasn’t bad. I had on a hooded coat,” he said. Garrett is one of only about 2,500 Pearl Harbor survivors still alive. “I’m blessed,” he said this week, when talking about the death and destruction that surrounded him from the INSIDE surprise Japanese attack and the close calls he had while COMMENT serving on the USS Saint Louis throughout the war in the Pacific. A total of 353 Japanese aircraft flying from four aircraft Dennis Nartker carriers attacked in two waves, sinking five battleships and damaging four more battleships, three destroyers and three cruisers and destroying 169 U.S. aircraft on the ground and damaging 159 others. More than 2,000 U.S. service personnel lost their lives. “We first heard about the raid when the captain ordered general quarters over the ship’s radio,” said Garrett, who has lived in Rome City since 1987. Garrett was assigned to a damage-control team and stayed below decks. “The ship’s boilers were cold, and after GQ we had to put water in the boilers and prepare to get the ship underway.“ Most of the crew members were below decks and John “Jack” learned about what was going on from officers stationed Garrett on the bridge. The only other crew members on the top deck were those manning the 6-inch and 5-inch gun turrets and anti-aircraft batteries. “We heard the explosions going on, but stayed below at our stations,” said Garrett. The Saint Louis backed away from its mooring and moved into the channel to get out of the harbor. The cruiser was the first ship to escape into the open sea with no damage. A Japanese mini-sub fired two torpedoes, but they missed the ship. “We were lucky, and that’s one reason why the ship came to be called Lucky Lou,” he said. The Helena was bombed and sustained damage. On Dec. 10, the Saint Louis returned to Pearl Harbor. “I saw the big aircraft hangar down on Ford Island, sunken ships and smoke still coming from damaged ships,” said Garrett, a retired Pullman & Higgins field foreman. The Saint Louis would participate in 11 major naval battles in World War II and earn 11 battle stars. Garrett was in all of them. The ship was bombed, torpedoed and even hit by a Japanese kamikaze aircraft, but kept in the fight. Later in the war, Garrett was reassigned to the topside repair party and his job was to keep spent shell casings that flew out a gun turret from piling up on the deck. In the battle of Kula Gulf on July 1, 1943, the Saint Louis was part of a U.S. naval group that intercepted a Japanese convoy headed for Guadalcanal. A Japanese cruiser and destroyer were sunk and transports damaged. “We were so close, I could see the Japanese soldiers jumping over the side,” said Garrett. The Saint Louis got hit with two torpedoes. One was a dud, and the other blew off armor platting and damaged the ship’s bow. “I was about 50 feet away when the torpedo hit and blown off my feet. They thought I was blown overboard,” Garrett said. He was wounded in his left leg but not seriously. Whenever the Saint Louis was damaged, it put into the closest port for repairs and rejoined the war. In the battle of Kolombangara a Japanese torpedo blew off the ship’s bow, killing 23 sailors. The damage was so extensive, the ship had to return to San Francisco for repairs. “We had a top speed of 33 knots (38 mph), but only could do 3 to 5 knots crossing the Pacific,” said Garrett. A new bow section was waiting for the ship when it docked. Several times during the war, Japanese propaganda reported the sinking of “Lucky Lou.” A total of 49 members of the crew lost their lives during the ship’s service in the war. Garrett was privileged to be aboard the Saint Louis when it anchored in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender on the battleship USS Missouri. He could see the Missouri in the distance. “I think we were invited because President Truman was from Missouri and the surrender was on the Missouri,” he said. After the war he returned to Fort Wayne, got married in 1946 and he and his wife, Rita, raised three children. She passed away in 1987. He has seven grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. “She was a good ship, the Saint Louis. She traveled more miles and shot more shells than any other American ship during the war,” said Garrett. Even though he has two knee replacements and a hip replacement, Garrett doesn’t use a cane. He’s a life member of the VFW and participates in the combined Kendallville Francis Vinyard VFW Post 2749 and Rome City American Legion Post 381 honor guard for veterans’ funerals. He’s extremely proud of his service to his country and has a Lucky Lou license plate on his car. “I’m really blessed in many ways,” he said.

To the editor: Saturday afternoon we had the pleasure of joining with the newly formed DeKalb Community Children’s Choir, led by Pam Pierson, at the Peabody Public Library in Columbia City. We were also joined by the Youth Chorale and Chamber Choir of the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir. We had a wonderful audience in Columbia City and the young singers were absolutely fantastic. We then traveled by bus to Auburn to perform for the DeKalb Choir’s local community at the Nazarene Church on the north end of town. We were so pleased with the facility and the welcome we received from the audience, and hope that it will be the first of many visits to your city. On the way home, after nearly 10 hours together, our bus of tired singers headed back through the dark streets toward Columbia City. As we drove down through the beautiful old homes that line your streets, the children suddenly burst into applause when they saw those stately homes completely decked out for Christmas. I was surprised that the owners didn’t look out the windows to see who was cheering and clapping at 9 p.m. Then they erupted into a wild chorus of “Jingle Bells” — in tune, of course. Thank you to the owners of those beautiful homes along Main Street — we want them to know how much cheer they provided to a group of singers who had spent their entire day singing for Thomas Kelleher others. See you next year at our Rejoice Concert! Post 178, Garrett

What Others Say • Pence preschool plan deserves broad support Indiana has for years lagged most other states in providing early childhood education options for families. The lack of access to high-quality preschool isn’t merely an inconvenience; it’s a handicap that undercuts student achievement and, eventually, economic growth. So it was encouraging this past week to hear Gov. Mike Pence propose what could become the most aggressive expansion of preschool in the state’s history. Under the governor’s plan, families with incomes up to 185 percent of the federal poverty level — about $43,500 for a family of four — would be eligible for vouchers to help pay for preschool for children who are a year or so away from entering kindergarten. “As result of a lack of quality early education opportunities, children, especially those from low-income households, often are unprepared when they enter kindergarten,” Pence said Thursday in announcing his 2014 legislative agenda. There’s nothing groundbreaking about that thought, of course. Research overwhelmingly confirms the value of early childhood education, and has for many years. But it is encouraging to hear an
Indiana governor make the point given state leaders’ historic lack of leadership on the issue. Early childhood advocates were naturally complimentary of the proposal, but the complaints from frequent Pence critics — including teachers union President Teresa Meredith and House Democratic education leader Greg Porter — were disappointing. Meredith contends that the state should put off moving forward on a preschool initiative until after it lowers the age for mandatory school attendance (now at a much-too high age 7) and requires all students to attend kindergarten. But those ideas likely would require lengthy legislative campaigns — to the point where today’s preschool-age children might well be in middle school before such changes were made given the General Assembly’s past go slow approach on other education proposals. Porter, although supportive of state-financed preschools in general, objected to funneling state dollars to religious-affiliated schools through vouchers. But, as with the K-12 voucher program, families would make decisions about where to spend the money, not the state. And the state money may well be enough to prompt secular schools to open or expand.
The Pence proposal isn’t without potential problems. It’s critical for the state, for instance, to ensure that tax dollars go only to high-quality preschools. As a Star investigation has demonstrated this fall, a lot of substandard day cares and preschools are operating in the state, often with little regulatory oversight. If managed the right way, the voucher program could help strengthen already good schools and divert children from weaker operations. But it’s essential to put strong accountability measures in place on how and where vouchers can be used. A final point: Some lawmakers have questioned whether Pence’s legislative agenda is too ambitious for the short, non-budget-writing 2014 session. Let’s banish that thought. Indiana leaders need to adopt a mind-set of pushing forward aggressively on most education, economic and quality-oflife issues — because of our state’s many needs but also because the world is moving faster than ever and those who plod along will get left behind. Although much welcomed, the Pence preschool plan is modest in scope when compared to what other states already have done. There’s no need for overly cautious delay in acting on it.

Steuben Paranormal Society on the prowl for haunts “You will hear the story in blogs all over the nation,” said Melanie. She said the ghostly man is said to be yelling “Marie, Marie.” The owner of the Strand, Dana Thompson, said the tale goes that a woman, very white and ghostly, went to the theater one day but never exited. Others who live in the building have said they have seen a woman walking through the walls on the third story. “I think it’s a wives’ tale,” said Melanie. She is not overly intimidated by dark graveyards or the idea of hunting down a tortured soul, but does like to say “a little protection prayer” beforehand. She urged anyone with Steuben County ties who has an interest in the paranormal to join them. Billman said she’s long experienced unnatural influences. When she lived in a house on Williams Street, she said, there was force that would seem to push her as she went down the stairs. She said her neighbors at the time had similar unexplained occurrences. “I’ve seen people in my house as I am outside of my house looking in,” said Billman, noting that her husband, Doug Billman, has remarked on the same thing only to go inside and find no one. Billman grew up in a haunted house, she said, built new by her parents in Fort Wayne.

ANGOLA — A cold rush of air, a whisper in the night — small, unexplained perceptions can raise the hair on the back of one’s neck. The Steuben Paranormal Society is delving into the county’s past and uncanny nuances of the present. The members meet at the Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County, and have done local investigations that produced creepy findings. Sisters Valerie and Melanie Varner started the group due to lifelong experiences that piqued their interest in the paranormal. After the Varners created a page on Facebook — which now has more than 100 likes — Vicky Habib and Michele Billman, both of Angola, joined them. Habib, who has lived in Angola around 30 years, said she vividly witnessed an image at one of the county’s rumored haunted sites, the Strand Theater. “There was this guy standing up on the roof of the theater,” Habib said. In 2009, someone posted “The Movie Man” in Indiana as one of the ghosts and hauntings at waymarking.com. It is one of seven Hoosier locations on the site, which also includes the Strand Theater in Kendallville. The Angola haunting is reportedly a sobbing man at the theater.

• “Every night something happened,” Billman said. “The lights would go on, footsteps.” She heard footsteps on the roof of the house, scratching sounds on the walls and had violent dreams. She said it was a terrifying long-term experience that left her wanting to help others who may have withstood similar ghostly attacks. “You are not the only one,” she said. There are ways, she said, to live with a haunting and purify a space. “I went to the library every day and had all these big stacks of books on the paranormal,” she said. “Back then, you didn’t talk about it as much,” noted Habib. “I used to have nightmares every night of people being murdered … gunshots.” She said it may be residual energy from a very emotional occurrence, repeating itself over and over. Valerie said she had numerous run-ins as a

The Varners live in their great-grandparents’ home in Pleasant Lake and have documented the face of a bearded man in the window while looking in. The women said ghosts are often witnessed in such a way, inside a dwelling while others are looking in. “It could be where a traumatic part of their life was spent,” said Melanie,

In their quests, the group uses basic equipment, such as cameras and recording devices, and their own perception. Melanie has a recording on a small, hand-held device taken at Lakeside Cemetery near Fremont on Oct. 30. It sounds like a raspy laugh. All the members of the group have stories to tell, like the smells and sounds of eggs and bacon cooking in an empty kitchen or the

John Wells’ McQueen dysfunctional family adaptation “August: Osage County,” which hits theaters Dec. 25 and features an all-star cast including Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, also picked up awardsseason momentum with three nominations, including outstanding performance for the cast. The SAG nominations are one of Hollywood’s first major announcements on the long road to the March 2 Oscars. Also key are the Golden Globe nominations, which will be revealed today.

US, Britain to suspend aid to rebels in Syria
Zimmerman won’t face new charges MIAMI (AP) — George Zimmerman will not face domestic violence charges because his girlfriend did not wish to pursue the case and there was scant evidence of a crime, a state prosecutor said Wednesday. Samantha Scheibe’s decision not to cooperate and the lack of other corroborating evidence would have made the case difficult to prove, State Attorney Phil Archer in Seminole County said in a statement. “There is no reasonable likelihood of a successful prosecution,” Archer said. Zimmerman, 30, had faced charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief following a Nov. 18 confrontation at the central Florida house he shared with Scheibe. She initially told police Zimmerman pointed a shotgun at her face during an argument, smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of the house.

Pope Francis delivers his speech during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican Wednesday. He was selected as Time magazine’s Person of the Year.
Pope Time’s top person NEW YORK (AP) — Time magazine selected Pope Francis as its Person of the Year on Wednesday, saying the Catholic Church’s new leader has changed the perception of the 2,000-year-old institution in an extraordinary way in a short time. The pope beat out NSA leaker Edward Snowden for the distinction, which the newsmagazine has been giving each year since 1927. The former Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected in March as the first pope from Latin America and the first Jesuit. Since taking over at the Vatican, he has urged the Catholic Church not to be obsessed with “small-minded rules” and to emphasize compassion over
condemnation in dealing with touchy topics like abortion, gays and contraception. He has denounced the world’s “idolatry of money” and the “global scandal” that nearly 1 billion people today go hungry, and has charmed the masses with his simple style and wry sense of humor. His appearances draw tens of thousands of people and his Pontifex Twitter account recently topped 10 million followers. “He really stood out to us as someone who has changed the tone and the perception and the focus of one of the world’s largest institutions in an extraordinary way,” said Nancy Gibbs, the magazine’s managing editor. The Vatican said the
honor wasn’t surprising given the resonance in the general public that Francis has had, but it nevertheless said the choice was a “positive” recognition of spiritual values in the international media. “The Holy Father is not looking to become famous or to receive honors,” said the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi. “But if the choice of Person of Year helps spread the message of the Gospel — a message of God’s love for everyone — he will certainly be happy about that.” It was the third time a Catholic pope had been Time’s selection. John Paul II was selected in 1994 and John XXIII was chosen in 1962.
BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. and Britain said Wednesday they were suspending deliveries to rebels in northern Syria of nonlethal aid such as communications equipment and laptops after some of the gear was seized by Islamic militants. The decision reflected fears of the growing strength of al-Qaida-linked forces among the rebels in the civil war, complicating the West’s goal of bolstering the moderate opposition and persuading President Bashar Assad to step down. Humanitarian aid such as food and blankets would not be affected, officials said, as a blustery storm dumped snow and torrential rain in the region and plunged temperatures below freezing, heaping more misery on refugees inside and outside Syria. The suspension dealt another blow to the Syrian opposition, highlighting diminishing international support for their cause as the extremists rapidly expand their hold across rebel-held territories. The decision by the U.S. and Britain comes few days after ultraconservative opposition factions took control of Free Syrian Army bases and warehouses containing lethal and non-lethal weapons at the Bab al-Hawa crossing between Syria and Turkey. The bases belonged to the FSA’s Supreme Military
Council, led by Gen. Salim Idris, a secular-minded, Western-backed moderate. Their takeover by the Islamic Front, a new alliance of six of the most powerful Islamic rebel groups in Syria, was an embarrassing setback for Idris, who has seen his influence greatly diminished by the rise of al-Qaida affiliated militants flush with cash, weapons and battleground experience. “We have seen the reports that Islamic Front forces have seized the headquarters in question and warehouses belonging to the Supreme Military Council, and we’re obviously concerned by those reports,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in announcing the suspension. “We’re still gathering facts and consulting with Gen. Idris and the Supreme Military Council staff to inventory the status of U.S. equipment and supplies that have been provided to the SMC.” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said U.S. assistance “continues through other neighboring countries to other parts of Syria.” Britain’s Foreign Office said it “will not be making any deliveries of equipment” to the FSA while it investigates those attacks. It said it intends to resume assistance as soon as conditions on the ground allow for its “safe delivery.”
NSA chief: Surveillance offers best protection WASHINGTON (AP) — The NSA chief said Wednesday he knows of no better way his agency can help protect the U.S. from foreign threats than with spy programs that collect billions of phone and Internet records from around the world. Pleading with the Senate Judiciary Committee to not abolish the National Security Agency’s bulk-collection programs, Gen. Keith Alexander warned that global threats are growing — specifically in Iraq and
Syria — that pose what he called “an unacceptable risk” to America. “How do we connect the dots?” Alexander said, referring to often-hidden links between a foreign terror threat and a potential attack on the U.S. “There is no other way that we know of to connect the dots. … Taking these programs off the table is absolutely not the thing to do.” The committee’s chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said it was troubling that the govern-
ment was sweeping up millions, if not billions, of Americans’ records. He has proposed legislation to prohibit the NSA from the bulk collection of U.S. phone records, and said Wednesday that he was concerned that Americans’ Internet records also were vacuumed up before the program ended in 2011. That program now focuses only on people who live outside the United States — which could include Americans living abroad. Alexander acknowledged
the privacy concerns that have dogged the NSA since leaker Edward Snowden revealed the programs in June. And he said the NSA was open to talking to technology companies for a better solution without compromising security. “It’s like holding onto a hornet’s nest,” Alexander said. “We’re getting stung.” But, “If we let this down I think we will have let the nation down,” he said. Leahy’s proposal has broad bipartisan support, especially in the House,
where it is being pushed by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., who was the chief congressional architect of laws that gave the government broad surveillance powers in the days following the 2001 terror attacks. But lawmakers who oversee U.S. intelligence agencies have proposed more modest reforms that call for greater oversight of the NSA and the creation of penalties for people who access classified information without authorization.

HEALTH: Only 44 people had signed up in Oregon FROM PAGE A1
dent investigation into contracting and management factors that contributed to the technology failure. Yet the revamped federal website serving 36 states continues to have issues, and some states running their own sites also face problems. Oregon had signed up only 44 people as of Nov. 30. That’s created stress and uncertainty not only for the uninsured but also for other people who now have insurance but are seeking to avoid an interruption in coverage in January. Those who are trying to preserve their coverage
include some of the more than 4 million people whose individual plans were canceled because they didn’t measure up under the law — as well as hundreds of thousands who are in federal and state programs for people with serious health problems, from cancer to heart disease to AIDS. Democratic lawmakers say they are relieved the website is finally working, but some are not convinced the turnaround is complete. “How confident I am? I’m hoping that we’re moving in the right direction,” said Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., after
Wednesday’s Energy and Commerce Committee hearing. “And if we find the day has come and we find that it’s not what we had hoped, then I think there should be changes.” The law should be fixed, not repealed, he said. Sebelius said at least 1.9 million people appear to be waiting just offstage to sign up. They’ve been found eligible to enroll, but haven’t yet picked a plan. If they’re all procrastinators who rush forward on Dec. 23, the website would be overwhelmed. It can only handle 50,000 people at a time.
Give the gift that keeps on giving all year
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Having already lost her 6-year-old son, Nicole Hockley insists she won’t lose the fight to reduce gun violence — no matter how long it takes. She is among a group of “accidental activist” parents brought together one year ago by almost unthinkable grief after the Newtown school massacre. The shootings were so horrific that many predicted they would force Congress to approve long-stalled legislation to tighten the nation’s gun laws. They did not. A divided Congress denied President Barack Obama’s calls for changes. The national gun lobby, led by the National Rifle Association, is arguably stronger than ever. And surveys suggest that support for new gun laws is slipping as the Newtown memory fades. A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds that 52 percent of Americans favor stricter gun laws, while 31 percent want them left as they are and 15 percent say they should be loosened. But the strength of the support for tighter controls has dropped since January,
when 58 percent said gun laws should be tightened and just 5 percent felt they were too strong. After a year of personal suffering and political frustration, Hockley and other Newtown parents are fighting to stay optimistic as their effort builds a national operation backed by an alliance of well-funded organizations working to pressure Congress ahead of next fall’s elections. The groups are sending dozens of paid staff into key states, enlisting thousands of volunteer activists and preparing to spend tens of millions of dollars against politicians who stand in the way of their goals. It may well take time, they say, to counter the influence of the NRA on Capitol Hill. “I know it’s not a matter of if it happens. It’s a matter of when. This absolutely keeps me going,” says Hockley, who joined a handful of Newtown parents in a private White House meeting with Vice President Joe Biden this week. “No matter how much tragedy affects you, you have to find a way forward. You have to invest in life.” Hockley’s son Dylan
was among 26 people shot to death — including 20 first graders — last Dec. 14 inside Sandy Hook Elementary. The shooter, 20-yearold Adam Lanza used a military-style assault rifle in the Friday-morning attack that ended when he killed himself. The shootings profoundly changed this small Connecticut community and thrust gun violence back into the national debate. Led by Obama, gun control advocates called for background checks for all gun purchasers and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Hockley and other Newtown parents hastened into action, privately lobbying members of Congress for changes. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has spent roughly $15 million this year on advertising to influence the debate. And former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head while meeting with constituents in 2011, launched a national tour calling for background checks. Yet Congress has enacted

the current deal before it was sealed. “They’re using our members, and they’re using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous,” he said, evidently referring to the Club For Growth, Heritage Action and other organizations. Modest in scope, the deal underscores how much ambitions have shriveled since the summer of 2011, when Obama and Boehner held private but unsuccessful talks on a “grand bargain” to reduce deficits by $4 trillion over a decade. In the current climate, though, it means a return to something approaching
a routine, where spending committees will be able to write and pass individual bills each year, removed from the threat of a shutdown. As drafted, the bill would reverse $63 billion in acrossthe-board spending cuts scheduled to take effect in the current budget year and the next one, easing a crunch on programs as diverse as environmental protection and the Pentagon. It would offset the higher spending with $85 billion in savings over a decade from higher fees and relatively modest curtailments on government benefit programs. Nearly a third of the
total savings would come nearly a decade from now, in 2022 and 2023, partly from extending a current 2 percent cut in payments to Medicare providers. Also, future federal workers would pay more toward their own retirement, fees would rise on air travelers and corporations would pay more to the government agency that guarantees their pension programs. With the increased spending to begin immediately and much of the savings delayed, Congressional Budget Office estimates showed the deal would push deficits higher than currently projected in the current year and each of the next two.

by Congress to make the tough choices needed that will secure our long-term fiscal future,” U.S. Sen. Dan Coats said in a news release. “I believe Congress needs to live by the budget levels it passed in 2011 or replace them with real, targeted spending reforms.” “I am encouraged that
budget negotiators from both sides of the aisle have put together a long-overdue proposal that would cut the deficit, provide for two years of budget certainty, and prevent another government shutdown that would further harm our economy,” U.S. Sen Joe Donnelly said in a prepared statement. “I applaud their bipartisan
efforts, and I will continue to study the details before we take a vote in the Senate.” Stutzman said he received his copy of the budget Wednesday morning and has less than 36 hours to digest all its nuances before voting. Stutzman said Republican Party leaders are encouraging members to vote for the budget.

houses did not respond. The inhabitant of a third house — a woman — answered the door, the court said. King said her car was stuck and asked for help getting it towed. The woman declined and told police about her encounter with King, the court said. Waterloo Deputy Marshal Stephen Brady began looking for King’s vehicle to assist King and Hardiek. When he found them, he asked King for identification. While King and Brady were talking, Hardiek fired the .44-special, hitting Brady in the side of the face. King and Hardiek then fled and hid under the deck of a house a couple of blocks away, the court noted. When police found King and Hardiek, they ordered them to come out, but they did not respond. Hardiek then pointed a gun at the officers, and the officers responded by opening fire, the court said. Hardiek and King were both hit. Hardiek died fromhis wounds, and King sustained multiple shots to her arm and head, lost part of a finger and has nerve damage, the court noted. Reviewing the nature of the offense, the court noted King knew Hardiek wanted
to avoid jail at any cost and had threatened to set himself on fire, yet she purchased ammunition for him in a crime spree that spanned two states. The court said a camera found by officers in King’s purse contained video made in the two weeks before the shooting, showing Hardiek saying he would consider anything to avoid going to jail, including “suicide by cop” or setting himself on fire. During that two-week period, King and Hardiek had weapons modified illegally in Michigan and then used them in attempted robberies, the court noted. After Hardiek shot Brady, Hardiek and King left him for dead and hid under a deck while heavily armed, the court said. When King was pulled from under the deck, she had a knife in her boot and a handgun up her sleeve, the court added. “We cannot say the sentence is inappropriate in light of the nature of the offense,” the court said in its decision. The court also ruled King had not shown the sentence was inappropriate in light of her character. The court found King had a criminal history in
Michigan spanning back to her teenage years. Her criminal record includes two misdemeanor counts for possession of alcohol not in a vehicle in 1996 and 1999; a felony count of controlled substance use in 1999; and a misdemeanor count of transporting open intoxicants. Three felony charges of robbery, unlawful imprisonment and felony firearms charges arising from an alleged attempted robbery on Dec. 14, 2011, remain pending in Michigan, the court noted. In Indiana, King has a Class A misdemeanor conviction for conversion in 2011. “Her history of criminal activity and extensive drug abuse, despite sober periods, show a continued disdain for the law, and the instant offense is much more serious than her prior convictions,” the court said in its ruling. “Further, her parental rights to her daughter were terminated in 2009, and she was on probation at the time of the instant offense. While her agreement to plead guilty and her expression of remorse are commendable, we cannot say that her thirtyeight-year executed sentence is inappropriate in light of her character.”

KENDALLVILLE — The streak continues. East Noble’s girls hoops team won its fourth-straight on Wednesday, using a run in each half to secure a 60-42 nonconference victory over Fort Wayne Northrop. “We’re still able to put little runs together and pull away from teams,” explained East Noble coach DeAnn Booth. “Our post play also continues to help us.” Kourtney Edwards led the Knights with 17 points. The senior also had five rebounds. “We did what we needed, it was another great win,” Edwards said. “We have set high expectations for this season.” Chandler Jones added 10 points, with nine points and seven rebounds for Kavan Edwards. Both Edwards are 6-1 post players, but not related. “Having two 6-1 girls, it’s challenging for most teams to match up with us,” Kavan Edwards said. Also scoring for the Knights were Kerri Schrock (7 points), Tiffani Wilson (5), Jacey Cauhorn (5), Jaymee Wolfe (5) and Madison Cook (2). Northrop was led by 20 points
and six rebounds from Aleah Swary. The Knights held a 35-26 rebounding advantage. They also benefited from a strong effort at the free throw line, hitting 21-of-27 attempts. “Much better production, which I thought was key,” Booth said. The Knights were coming off a 78-41 Northeast Hoosier Conference win over New Haven and also have victories this season against Eastside, Lakeland, Fort Wayne North Side and now Northrop. “We don’t dwell on streaks like that, we like to play game to game,” Booth said. “We have a conference game on Friday and would like to extend it.” Northrop stuck with East Noble until the Knights struck with their 11-0 first-half run. The Bruins led 4-0 at the outset and had a 9-7 lead late in the opening period. “We were forcing it too much early,” Kourtney Edwards said. “We just needed to slow it JAMES FISHER down and be patient, and we did East Noble’s Lanie Allen, middle, is fouled as she attempts to drive better.” the lane in Wednesday’s win over Northrop.

Fremont girls defeat Rangers BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com
FREMONT — Fremont’s girls basketball team started better than Reading (Mich.) did Wednesday and kept the Rangers at a distance in winning the non-conference contest 49-41. The Eagles (5-2) scored the first seven points of the game. Reading did not score until it made a free throw with 2 minutes, 57 seconds left in the opening quarter. FHS extended its lead over the final couple minutes of the second quarter while leading player Shae Rhonehouse was on the bench with three fouls. The Eagles led 28-13 at intermission after Reading only made 2-of-24 field-goal attempts in the first half. It was not smooth sailing for the young Fremont squad as it had 26 turnovers. But its lead was never really threatened. “We held our own with Shae out of the game,” Eagles coach
Neal Frantz said. “We shot the ball fairly well. “They are aggressive and are good in their man-to-man defense,” he said of the Rangers. “But we had so many unforced turnovers. The Eagles forced 23 Reading turnovers while shooting 53 percent from the field (18-34). Rhonehouse led Fremont with 22 points, six rebounds, three steals, three assists and a blocked shot. Freshman guard Kayla Stroop added 10 points, three rebounds and two steals. “Kayla is coming along. She is giving us good minutes,” Frantz said. “Her offense is getting a little better. She runs the floor pretty well. “Every time we get on the floor, I just want to see progress. That is all we can do.” Senior center Miranda White added nine points, 10 rebounds and four assists for Fremont. Melissa Beer had five points and
Kaileigh Folland scored three. Senior Brittany Marquart and junior Jami Hubbard combined for 18 points on 6-of-31 shooting from the floor for Reading. Marquart had 13 points and six steals. Hubbard, who Frantz regarded as the Rangers’ best player, had five points and seven rebounds. Junior Tayler Coe had nine points and five rebounds for Reading, who only shot 22 percent from the field (11-51). The Rangers did outrebound the Eagles 36-29. Fremont will host Hamilton on Saturday in a Northeast Corner Conference game that will start a basketball tripleheader between the two schools. This girls’ contest will start the action at 4:30 p.m. The boys’ junior varsity game will start around 6 p.m., followed by the varsity boys game. The Eagles won the junior varsity game on Wednesday over the Rangers, 28-22.

Colts unfriendly to Texans HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans will attempt to end the worst skid in franchise history in a place where they’ve never won. Houston plays the Colts on Sunday, looking to stop an 11-game losing streak and win for the first time in Indianapolis. The Texans also have lost 11 in a row there. Running back Ben Tate said they aren’t worried about where they’re playing this week, all they’re focused on is winning. “If we can get it anywhere, if we play in a parking lot — just getting a win,” Tate said. “I don’t think it really matters. I don’t know how much coaches are really thinking or going to emphasize that. It’s just getting a win period. I don’t care if we
play them at the Galleria mall. We just want to win.” Though some Texans noted that playing in Indianapolis is louder than many places, they couldn’t pinpoint exactly why they’ve had so much trouble there. “I have no answer for that other than we just haven’t,” said Andre Johnson, who has been on the team for all but the first trip to Indianapolis in 2002. Johnson said that the old RCA Dome was louder and more difficult to play in than Lucas Oil Stadium. Houston has certainly had some good chances to pick up wins there, but has fell short time after time. In the early days of the franchise, they were rarely even competitive in Indianapolis. Their first six losses there

He’ll start by running some test sessions and a limited Sprint Cup schedule for Michael Waltrip Racing, and he’ll begin working with NBC Sports Group, which has signed him to a multi-year contract to be an analyst when the network begins broadcasting NASCAR races in 2015. “Jeff Burton was always the first person we would seek out when there was breaking news or an issue that needed to be covered throughout our previous contract with NASCAR, so he was the first person we called for this role,” Sam Flood, executive producer, NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network, said in announcing the hiring of Burton. “His insights, keen observations and many trophies have earned the respect of everyone involved with the sport.” Burton will begin his TV work in 2014 by contributing to NASCAR programming on NBCSN. “This is an exciting new challenge, and I am thrilled to be joining the NBC Sports family,” said Burton. “I will prepare for each race as if I were driving in it, and I look forward to sharing my experience, views and insights with all the dedicated and passionate NASCAR fans.” On the driving side, his first stint behind the wheel with his new team is set for Charlotte Motor Speedway, where he’ll substitute at a test session for Brian Vickers, who is out of action because of blood clots. Burton will make his first start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 9 in a No. 66 Toyota and is expected to make

Trent Owens
For those who were at Talladega, Ala., on May 4, 1975, the events that transpired were not to be forgotten. Even those who were just casual fans of the sport at that time were heartbroken over the death that day of 20-year-old Randy Owens. Owens was the brother-in-law of Richard Petty. His sister, Lynda, Richard’s wife, had helped raise him while their mother worked, and he was an eager member of the crew of Petty’s No. 43 cars. On Lap 141 of the Winston 500, Petty, in contention for the win, came down pit road with a fire in the left front of his car. As Owens attempted to use a pressurized water tank to help extinguish the flames, the tank exploded, sending Owens flying into the air and killing him. Petty, who jumped from his car and attempted to get help for Owens, summed up one of the saddest aspects of the incident in his comments to reporters that day. “He was just a kid and had those two little, bitty boys,” Petty said. Last week, the story came full circle when Trent Owens, the youngest of those little, bitty boys, was hired as crew chief of the No. 43 Ford at Richard Petty Motorsports. The official release announcing the hiring of Owens didn’t even mention that Owens is the nephew of the team’s namesake. And Owens doesn’t bring up the subject unless he’s asked about it. But when he does talk about his family, it’s clear that he’s proud of the connection. Owens said that when he was hired to crew chief the car his father once worked on, it was a special moment. “When the opportunity came up, and then when the announcement was made, I was pretty emotional about it,” said Owens, who was just four months old when his father died. His brother, Travis, now the brake specialist for the No. 31 Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing, was two at the time. The Owens brothers, who spent most of their younger years living in Darlington, S.C., remained close to Richard and Lynda Petty as they grew up. They went to races at Darlington,
were by an average of more than 19 points. They’ve fared better since the new stadium opened in 2008 and have lost by more than a touchdown only twice. They came closest to ending the skid in 2011, but Reggie Wayne caught a 1-yard touchdown pass with 19 seconds left to give the Colts a 19-16 win. “I can’t tell you that there’s one specific reason why this team has never won there,” defensive end J.J. Watt said. “Obviously, we’re looking to change that. That’s never something that you want to have on your resume.” They’ll try to turn things around in the first game since coach Gary Kubiak was fired on Friday.

SPORTS BRIEFS • MIAA commissioner to retire KALAMAZOO, Mich. — David L. Neilson will retire as Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association commissioner at the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year. Neilson’s retirement was announced on Tuesday by Kalamazoo College president Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran, who is the vice chairwoman of the MIAA Presidents’ Council. Neilson is the eighth commissioner in the MIAA’s 126-year history and the conference’s third-longest serving commissioner, serving in that post since 2002. “These last 12 years have been a labor of love for me, and I will always regard this position as the highlight of my professional career,” Neilson said. “I have been blessed in being able to represent the nine great institutions that comprise the nation’s oldest collegiate athletic conference.” Neilson has been a member of the NCAA Division III Commissioner’s Association for 12 years and was a founding board member of the association’s Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Committee. He has also been a member of the NCAA Division III Strategic Planning and Finance Committee for six years, making him the committee’s longestserving member. “Dave Neilson has brought not only a passion for intercollegiate athletics, but also professionalism, fairness, and deep respect for the academic mission of the member schools in his role as MIAA commissioner,” Wilson-Oyelaran said. “He has been a tireless advocate for our student-athletes and will be sorely missed.”
Cathedral receiver McLaurin wins Mr. Football INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Terry McLaurin of Indianapolis Cathedral has won this year’s Indiana Mr. Football award. The versatile play-maker received 19 votes from a panel of Indiana Football Coaches Association members. Cardinal Ritter quarterback Jake Purichia was second with nine votes, followed by Andrean quarterback Matt DeSomer with eight. McLaurin is listed as a receiver, which is where he’s expected to play at Ohio State. But Cathedral coach Rick Streiff also used him as a kick returner, at running back and even on defense. He was the perfect fit in each role.
Pacers-Heat game most watched ever for NBA TV NEW YORK (AP) — The Indiana Pacers’ 90-84 victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night was the most-watched game ever on the league’s NBA TV outlet. The network says Wednesday that the telecast averaged 920,000 viewers, topping out at more than 1 million from 10:15 to 10:30 p.m. EST. The game, the first since Miami’s seven-game victory in last season’s Eastern Conference finals, surpassed the 868,000 total viewers that watched a Lakers-Portland game on Oct. 31, 2012. The previous highest game this season came Sunday, when 691,000 watched Kobe Bryant’s return for the Lakers.

Cabin fever. The term comes from being cooped up during a prolonged storm, usually in winter and because of heavy ice and/or snow. The walls of your cabin keep moving in on you and there is a strong urge to go out, in spite of the weather. From now until ice out, we warm-days-only fishermen will be resisting the pull to get out there and cast a line. Some will even try ice fishing as a cure but you can’t just try cutting holes and watching bobbers, it is a developed sport, over

• time and experience. Some of us tie flys to kill time. Planning next summer’s exotic trips is another pastime. Getting out old home movies as reminders of past jaunts can soothe the itch, some. And one of my favorites is to pull the fillets from the freezer and organize
a mid-winter fish fry. A collection of fishing buddies at the half-way point — since the way you can tell when a fisherman is lying is when his lips are moving — can make for a lively evening and help bridge the gap until spring. The thought of getting that first strike in March or April should help. And honestly, guys and gals, it won’t be that long! Pray for lots of snow to fill up our lakes. PAUL OAKES is a retired fisherman who lives in Angola.
Cornell lab asking for public house finch reports House finches may be found at feeders across much of North America and if you see these little birds, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology would like to know about it. Scientists specifically want to know if the birds you see appear healthy or if they have redness and swelling around the eyes — signs of a bacterial disease (Mycoplasma gallisepticum) that first appeared
in 1994 and is now found in house finch populations from coast to coast. This special push to track both sick and healthy house finches is being carried out through the Cornell Lab’s Project FeederWatch, an annual winter survey of feeder birds that runs from November through April. New participants are invited to sign up to help at FeederWatch.org. Making
the correct ID is important, so there’s additional help provided in distinguishing among similar species, such as the Purple Finch and Cassin’s Finch. “House finches are providing a unique window into disease dynamics,” says Wesley Hochachka, Assistant Director of Bird Populations Studies at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “We want to understand how this disease

Common sense can keep bicyclists safe DEAR ABBY: As the education director of the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, I work hard to encourage safe and courteous cycling for everyday transportation in Northern California. There are a number of points I would like to address to “Caring Reader, Sacramento, Calif.” (Sept. 13). “Caring” described seeing bicyclists run stop signs, not wear protective gear, texting/ talking on cellphones, and suggested a greater enforcement of the law. Rolling through stop signs is, indeed, just as illegal as it is while driving a vehicle, except in Idaho where cyclists may treat stop signs as yields. Talking or texting on a cellphone while biking isn’t currently illegal in the state of California. I feel that using cellphones while biking is an unsafe practice, and I encourage cyclists (or drivers) to simply pull over before making or taking a call.

Helmets are required gear only for bicyclists under the age of 18 in California. However, it is not illegal for an adult to bike without a helmet. You said in your response that people who cycle at night should avoid DEAR wearing dark to ABBY clothes increase their visibility, but clothes Jeanne Phillips color alone has been shown to have little or no effect on visibility in dark conditions. During low-light times of day like dawn or dusk, wearing bright or fluorescent clothes is a good strategy, but at night bicyclists should rely on lights and reflectors to be seen.
•
The law in California stipulates that bicyclists must have a white headlight, a red rear reflector and yellow or white reflectors on their wheels or spokes as well as on their pedals, shoes or ankles. I also recommend adding a red rear light, and additional lights and reflectors at the front, rear and sides of the bike, or on one’s clothing or helmet. Highlighting one’s silhouette with lights and reflectors will increase visibility substantially after dark. — ROBERT PRINZ, CALIFORNIA DEAR MR. PRINZ: You’re welcome.

‘Placebo effect’ can stimulate natural healing or the placebo until after the study is ended. This is how researchers can tell how well a treatment worked.

could affect the chemistry of the body. We called it the “placebo effect.” What’s behind that effect? When real medicines work, they often do so by supplying a chemical that is missing in the body. However, they also sometimes stimulate natural healing powers. Take pain, for instance. Like all symptoms, pain is experienced in the brain. It also can be treated by the brain. Endorphins are brain chemicals that are naturally released when a person experiences pain, reducing its intensity. There is growing evidence that when a placebo leads to pain relief, it is because taking the placebo stimulates the production of endorphins. It’s not just pain. In Parkinson’s disease, for example, a deficiency of a natural brain chemical makes it difficult for a person to move in a coordinated way. A pill that supplies

DEAR DOCTOR K: In previous columns you’ve mentioned something called the “placebo effect.” Can you explain what that means? DEAR READER: We used to think the placebo effect was imaginary. Today, I think the evidence indicates otherwise: It’s an example of our remarkable powers of self-healing. A placebo is a pill or other treatment that is inactive. It may look identical to a real drug, but it doesn’t really have the drug in it. It’s also called a “sugar pill,” although the inactive substances in it don’t include table sugar. Researchers use placebos in clinical studies. They compare the results for a group of people who got an active treatment with the results for a group of people who got the placebo treatment. Typically, neither the people in the study nor their doctors know if they are taking the real medicine

that deficient chemical can improve the condition. One study showed that when people with Parkinson’s disease took a placebo pill (instead of the real pill), their brains responded by naturally making more of the missing chemical. That’s why they improved. It was not their imagination: It was natural healing that was stimulated by their belief in the pill. Belief surely plays an important role. Studies show that people are more likely to respond to a placebo when they are told it is powerful or that it is expensive. People who believe in acupuncture are more likely to feel better following real acupuncture and during sham acupuncture. Studies like these have opened our eyes to what the placebo effect really is.
