Call volume knocks out 911 center BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — A flood of calls to DeKalb County Central Communications during last week’s major winter storm crippled the dispatch center for a short period. Director Paul Brewer said the tremendous volume of calls Jan. 6 and 7 effectively flooded the system of the center north of Auburn. One of the center’s two internal routers failed, and the other became overloaded trying to keep up with the call volume, Brewer explained. During the storm, Auburn lost electrical service for six hours on
the night of Jan. 6, and a generator failed at one of the county’s annex buildings, preventing dispatchers from being able to log onto the county’s network. The system was down for nearly 2 ½ hours, nearly all of which Brewer said he spent on the phone trying to get it repaired. A contractor replaced the failed router. The outage meant dispatchers could field only a fraction of the calls intended for them, Brewer said. Dispatchers were able to receive 480 non-emergency calls, 283 emergency calls and 2,675 radio calls from emergency personnel between Jan. 6 and 7,
but it’s anyone’s guess how many calls were lost and unanswered during the center’s down time, Brewer said. “I have no idea exactly how many calls we took, because we couldn’t answer them all,” said Brewer. Brewer said E-911 calls the center could not field were transferred to Allen County’s dispatch center, and service to residents was never compromised. “I think it was due to the overwhelming influx of phone calls,” Brewer said about the reason for the technical troubles. Much of the problem, Brewer said, was that many of the calls

Boy, 12, opens fire at school, wounds 2 ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — A 12-year-old New Mexico boy drew a shotgun from a band-instrument case and shot and wounded two classmates at his middle school Tuesday morning before a teacher talked him into dropping the weapon and he was taken into custody, officials and witnesses said. Gov. Susana Martinez says a boy was critically injured and a girl was in serious condition following the shooting at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell. The students were in the gym, where she said they typically hang out before classes start. The 12-year-old pulled a shotgun and opened fire there at about 8 a.m.

during the storm were non-emergency calls. Brewer said his dispatchers were peppered with questions about a travel warning, area closures and road conditions. He urged residents to call 911 only with emergency needs. “People need to call us for emergency situations,” said Brewer. “Other than that, they need to pay attention to their local media for updates and information.” During a meeting Monday, the DeKalb County commissioners briefly discussed sending letters to residents who called 911 with non-emergency questions, explaining they could be fined.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence walks to the podium to give his State of the State address to a joint
session of the Legislature at the Statehouse Tuesday in Indianapolis.
Pence keeps it simple Business tax cut, marriage amendment highlight State of the State INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Gov. Mike Pence held close to a carefully scripted message for 2014 during his second State of the State address, prodding lawmakers for a business tax cut and education items while asking them to take action on a controversial marriage amendment this year. Pence offered little in the way of new details Tuesday, sticking to what has become a defining hands-off approach with lawmakers and his legislative agenda. Instead, he asked them for a second year largely focused on continuing the same strategy of cutting taxes and expanding sweeping education changes. “We’ve made progress in jobs and schools, but with still too many Hoosiers out of work,” Pence said. “With our state lagging behind in per capita
income and health and too many kids in underperforming schools, I believe we must remain relentless, bold and ambitious to keep our state moving forward.” Although Pence left a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage out of his formal agenda, he asked lawmakers to put the issue to rest in 2014. “Let’s have a debate worthy of our people with civility and respect. Let’s protect the rights of Hoosier employers to hire who they want and provide them with benefits that they earn. And then let’s resolve this issue this year once and for all,” he said, to applause from the assembled lawmakers, a majority of whom are Republicans. Pence spoke before a joint session of House and Senate members held in the House chamber. Just one day earlier in
the same space, a key House panel delayed a vote on the marriage amendment following hours of emotional testimony on the issue. Lawmakers first approved the proposed constitutional ban in 2011. It must pass again this year to be put to voters in November. If lawmakers don’t act, the process of amending the constitution would start from scratch. House Minority Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, said Pence had a chance to “douse the flames” on the gay marriage debate, but did not. Instead, Pelath said, the governor seemed more concerned about protecting his political career — noting the marriage issue could cloud his chances if it shows up with him on a potential 2016 ballot. “He wants finality before the 2016 election. That’s what he really means,” he said.
HAMILTON — Hamilton Junior-Senior High School principal Christy Haupert will leave her position at the end of the school year, school district officials said Monday. The school board accepted Haupert’s resignation at its meeting Monday night. It is effective June 30, 2014 — the end of Haupert’s two-year contract. Superintendent Jon Willman would not comment on Haupert’s resignation, saying the district does not discuss personnel matters. Haupert, who usually attends board meetings but was not present Monday night, said Tuesday that she has enjoyed her time at Hamilton working with students, parents and staff. She said she is looking forward to continuing her career in education or a related field. The school board hired Haupert in July 2012. It completed a restructuring of the administration that saw former K-12 principal Barbara Weber reassigned as elementary principal and the hiring of current Athletics Director and Assistant Principal Jesse Webb. Board president Scott Lucas said by accepting the resignation, the school district now can advertise for applicants for the position. Also Monday, the board held its annual reorganization meeting, and each current officer was re-elected. Lucas will serve as president, Robert Gaff as vice president and Lee Stoy as secretary. The board also: • approved the 2014-2015 school calendar, which mirrors the 2013-2014 version. The first day of school will be Aug. 13, 2014, with May 27, 2015, set as the final day of the school year. • learned the district has applied to the state for a waiver to avoid making up the first two days lost during last week’s winter storm.

Thieves take metal door from historic mausoleum BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — One of the historic metal entrance doors to the Butler Mausoleum has been stolen, DeKalb County Historian John Bry reported Tuesday. Bry said he received a call late Monday afternoon from Anita Shultz of Butler, who told Bry of the theft. Shultz has filed a report with the Butler Police Department, Bry added. Bry said the mausoleum, along with mausoleums in Garrett, Auburn and Waterloo, is about to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Butler Mausoleum is the first such structure built in DeKalb County. “More than likely the thieves took the door for its metal. Such felons target cemeteries to steal metal and iron work,” Bry said on the DeKalb County Historian
Facebook page. Bry said he posted to the Facebook page after receiving the call from Shultz, because he is in Muncie. Two posts concerning the door have been viewed more than 8,000 times in 24 hours and shared an additional 200 times by Facebook users, Bry said. “Efforts are under way to contact area metal recyclers in the region to locate the door,” Bry said Tuesday. “It is a sad situation. I have reminded people if they see suspicious activity in the area cemeteries to report it. Historic cemeteries are often a favorite target for metal thieves across the nation.” Bry is urging anyone who has contacts with metal recycling companies in the area to alert them to look for a large metal door with a small glass opening in the upper center of the door.
Bry said approval of the DeKalb County mausoleums’ National Register listing is expected to take place at the state Historic Preservation Office’s review meeting Jan. 22 in Indianapolis. “It has been a two-year process to list the structures. Overall, the community mausoleums in Butler, Garrett, Auburn and Waterloo represent 10 percent of the roughly 40 community mausoleums that survive in Indiana. We are the only county in the state where all four of the principal communities constructed such buildings. The Butler Mausoleum was the first to be erected in DeKalb County in 1915,” Bry said. “The one bright spot that has come of Butler Mausoleum situation is it has clearly shown there is a very high interest in preserving historic structures
in DeKalb County. The public does not like seeing our unique buildings being needlessly destroyed, or disrespectful actions, such as stealing their architectural features, for personal profit,” Bry added. “The outpouring of support seen on the Facebook Page for Butler has been from across the county and beyond, and that has been very heartwarming to see. It also tells me the time has arrived to begin leading the entire county in a larger positive, proactive conversation concerning the care, renovation, management and adaptability of our historic structures that lend to our quality of life in DeKalb County.” In the meantime, Bry said, he will be awarding the Butler Mausoleum a small grant from Preservation of DeKalb Heritage funds to secure the structure.

Rodeo bull destroyed after charging firefighters BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — An escaped rodeo bull charged members of the Kendallville Fire Department on a frozen lake surface before it was destroyed Monday, the Noble County Sheriff’s Department said. Noble County E-911 Dispatch received calls starting about 5:25 p.m. that an animal described as a rodeo bull with large horns was loose. The animal had freed itself from a pen as it was being readied for transport from a
location on C.R. 1000N, west of S.R. 3. According to Noble County E-911 dispatch reports, bull owner Kolton Bode said he was trying to load the bull into a trailer when it got loose. The animal was spotted on S.R. 3 one-half mile north C.R. 1000N. Emergency personnel, including Kendallville firefighters, were called to the area. Firefighters were the first to arrive. Firefighters found the bull on frozen Cree Lake as they
approached from Cree Lake Drive South. The bull was walking east. Firefighters tried to guide the bull, but it began to charge at them, then walked and ran east into wooded areas. “We got the call as a cow on the ice on Cree Lake,” said Kendallville Fire Chief Mike Riehm. “While on my way, I learned it was a rodeo bull.“ The bull didn’t want any part of people, according to Riehm, adding, “He was mean. He wouldn’t let anyone get close. We were 50 to 60 yards from
him when he charged us, and we ran.” The sheriff’s department and firefighters set up a perimeter to find the bull. The Noble County Emergency Management Agency contacted Black Pine Animal Sanctuary to try to set a tranquilizer for the bull. The bull wasn’t seen again until about 7 p.m., when firefighters saw it crossing C.R. 900E north of C.R. 1000N. It continued north through a snow-covered field. Deputies began to track the bull.
The owner felt it necessary to have the bull put down due to its aggressive behavior, the length of the tracking and the time of night, the sheriff’s department said. After tracking the bull through multiple fields and wooded areas, search teams found it again south of C.R. 1125N in a field west of C.R. 1000E. Attempts to get close were negated either by the bull’s aggressive behavior or because it ran from people. The animal was put down at about 7:45 p.m., the sheriff’s department said.

KENDALLVILLE — Justin Kuhnle of Kendallville says he will run for Congress on the Democratic ticket in the May 6 primary election. Kuhnle said the central focus of his campaign will be creating an atmosphere for job growth, investing in education and developing the skills of workers to compete on a global scale. He is seeking the 3rd District seat in Congress, representing northeast Indiana and currently held by Republican Marlin Stutzman of Howe. The district takes in all or part of 12 counties, including all of DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben. “I will dedicate my service, as an elected representative, to showing poise in standing up for citizens’ rights, for quality education, a robust workforce and expansions of our economy and jobs,” Kuhnle said in a news release announcing his campaign. “I will work for eliminating government waste and for responsible spending of our tax dollars.” Kuhnle also ran in the Democratic primary for Congress in 2012, finishing fourth in a six-man race won by Kevin Boyd, who then lost to Stutzman. Kuhnle has worked for the past six years as a case manager for mentally ill and intellectually disabled
patients. He was employed by Park Center in Fort Wayne from November 2007 through February 2013 and by the Bowen Center in Albion from February through November 2013. In December, he joined with IPMG, based in West Kuhnle Lafayette. He previously held management positions in retail and with Kitty Hawk. He earned a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership and supervision from Purdue University at West Lafayette, graduating in May 2004. Kuhnle returned to school in 2007, studying at Ivy Tech and Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, majoring in psychology and human services. He said it was through his psychology classes that he began his career as a case manager with Park Center, Bowen Center and now IPMG. Kuhnle was born and raised in Decatur, where he attended Saint Joseph Catholic School through the eighth grade and graduated from Bellmont High School. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus. In 2013, he married his wife, Beth, who teaches third grade at Prairie Heights Elementary School.
Fire, burst pipe cause damage at East Noble Middle School BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — Fire and water recently damaged the East Noble Middle School building. A fire in the heating system damaged two East Noble Middle School classrooms Tuesday morning, four days after a water pipe burst Friday flooding the school’s gymnasium and main office area. No students were in the school at the time of either incident. At about 7:23 a.m. Tuesday,
firefighters and police were dispatched to the school at 401 E. Diamond St. after a staff person in the building pulled the fire alarm. A motor overheated in a heater in Room 301 in the 100-year-old part of the building, causing smoke on the third floor, said Kendallville Fire Chief Mike Riehm. The fire in the floor spread to the ceiling tile in Room 201 directly below on the second floor. Firefighters used fire extinguishers with pressurized water to attack the fire, and
brought it under control in about 15 minutes. Portable fans were used to clear the smoke. No one was injured. Officials could not immediately estimate the cost of the damage. The incident occurred before students were inside the building, said East Noble Superintendent Ann Linson. Students arriving for school were escorted by teachers and staff across Riley Street into the nearby St. John Lutheran School gym to get out of the below-freezing weather. Students
arriving by bus were kept on the buses in a bus turnaround lot. Students were allowed into the building at about 8 a.m., and firefighters were back in service at 8:13 a.m. Students and staff were not in the building during Friday morning’s water pipe break because East Noble officials had called off classes due to snowy and icy road conditions. Firefighters responded to a water flow alarm at the school. A capped-off sprinkler pipe

Butler Police vow to continue battling meth BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — Butler Police will be even more aggressive in their ongoing fight against methamphetamine in 2014. Last year, local police handled 30 meth-related cases, including 10 active meth labs, said Police Chief Jim Nichols. The rest were “trash labs,” in which police discovered the byproducts or hazardous waste left by someone cooking meth, said Assistant Police Chief Matt Traster. “That’s still very dangerous,” Nichols said of the leftover meth cookers. “There was one tossed out (in a rural area near Butler) that actually exploded and started a field fire,” Traster added. “Even though they’re done using it, they’re still highly flammable and highly toxic.” Taking down a meth lab can tie up law enforcement resources for several hours. When police find a “rolling
meth lab” — an active lab in a vehicle — it can take three to eight hours or longer to clean up the mess, Traster explained. Each case is unique, he added. Police must interview suspects and witnesses, document what they find, do paperwork and wait for the Indiana State Police’s Clandestine Lab Team to arrive. That team removes all hazardous material associated with a meth lab so it can’t harm anyone, including emergency responders. In addition to the meth cases, Butler officers handled 54 drug-related cases in 2013, Nichols reported. While 2013 had a busy beginning as far as drug-related cases go, police feel they were able to make a significant impact in drug activity in Butler by the end of the year. “By the time the year ended, we had closed down so many (offenders), the activity had decreased,” Traster said. “Some of the key players, we were able to arrest and get
convictions on,” Nichols added. “We hit it really, really hard, and by the end of the year, we had very little (drug) activity at all. We know we’re hurting them. “We’re going to continue to be proactive and take an aggressive stand,” Nichols pledged. “We’re going to work to continue improving our communication network, and that’s really been a key Nichols for us. “We’ll continue to ask for the support of the public, and they’ve really been good about reporting any type of suspicious activity,” Nichols said. Examples of suspicious activity may include a high volume of foot or vehicle traffic to and from a house; people not staying at a house for long periods of time; and suspicious odors or smells in the area. “Every case we work is a puzzle,” Nichols said.
“Sometimes, that little tidbit of information the public might think is insignificant turns out to be extremely significant in helping us to solve a case. There’s no shred of evidence that’s too small or insignificant.” Police asked individuals and groups who pick up trash along roads and streets to exercise caution. Under no circumTraster stances should anyone pick up or open any suspicious bottles or debris. Instead, call the police department. “You’re talking about lye, organic solvents and acid. All of these things are highly combustible,” Traster said. “When they’re done cooking, because they don’t want police to find it, they’ll take it out and dump it. “Sometimes when those bottles burst, you can have a flash fire,” he said. “Some of

The Steuben County Rest Home, shown in this 2000 photo, could be razed by a contractor working on behalf of the county. The home, built in 1886, has
been used as a rest home and later as a work-release center before that facility closed. The building has been vacant about five years.
Steuben commissioners eye razing former county home BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcnews.net
ANGOLA — Steuben County Commissioners are studying the details of razing the old Steuben County Rest Home property on C.R. 200W near Interstate 69 that most recently was used as the county’s work release facility. “There’s so much to be done out there before we accept any of these bids,” said Gary Fair, county maintenance supervisor. The property sits on a 27-acre tract it shares with the Steuben County Humane Society and the Steuben County Highway Department. The former rest home has sat vacant for a number of years after work release closed about five years ago. The rest home was closed in
1999, then was converted to work release around 2000. Steuben County received an award from the Indiana Association of Counties for the conversion in 2001. Commissioner Jim Crowl said the county has offered the building for use to a number of agencies in the area, but none have taken up the offer. The cost of moving the building or selling it to a private individual wanting to rehabilitate it would be prohibitive, Crowl said. The building needs a new roof, which would be close to equal the cost of razing the structure, Crowl said. Quotes on the work ranged from about $80,000 to $189,000. Because of the cost, the work would have to follow state-sanctioned bidding procedures. The county potentially
would remove many items from the structure. Those would include items ranging from plaques hanging on walls to a boiler system that was installed when the facility was used for work release. Other items would have to take place, such as capping the well and removing the building from a septic system it shares with the Humane Society animal shelter. Commissioner Ron Smith said the county needs to look to the future for possible use of the land. That could include commercial development. Smith said the county likely will work with the Steuben County Economic Development Corp. on determining a use for the property, which is in a prime location at exit 150 of I-69.
Two more city councils urge defeat of gay marriage ban South Bend, Muncie take stand SOUTH BEND (AP) — Two more Indiana city councils are opposing efforts to write a gay marriage ban into the state constitution. The South Bend and Muncie councils both voted Monday night to adopt resolutions against the proposed constitutional amendment being considered by state legislators. The South Bend resolution was approved on a 6-2 vote, while the Muncie resolution was adopted in a 9-0 vote. South Bend Councilman Dave Varner, the council’s only Republican, said he voted against the resolution because he believed voters should be allowed to decide the issue in a statewide referendum. About 15 people spoke in favor of the resolution
before the council voted, which didn’t sway Varner, the South Bend Tribune reported. “I don’t think the people here tonight are prepared to accept the results of a statewide referendum … because they probably know what the results are going to be,” Varner said. City councils in Indianapolis, Evansville and Bloomington and a bipartisan group of mayors from several cities have also spoken out against the proposed amendment. The House Judiciary Committee on Monday delayed a vote on following more than three hours of testimony from supporters and opponents. If legislators approve the amendment during this year’s session, it
will go before voters on the November election ballot. Muncie Councilman Doug Marshall, a Democrat, said he sponsored the resolution because “I want it to be known nationally that Muncie is a city of everyone.” Muncie resident Frank Weyl was the only one of the 11 people who spoke before the council vote who supported the proposed constitutional amendment, The Star Press reported. “We are obligated to God to obey his laws,” Weyl said. “We are obligated to obey the Lord.” Charles Mason, a retired Episcopalian minister, said “denying gay marriage is like denying women the right to vote.” “Heterosexuals have virtually destroyed the sanctity of marriage,” he said.
BUTLER — DeKalb Eastern students will start the 2014-2015 school year Friday, Aug. 1. The DeKalb Eastern school board approved the new calendar at its meeting Monday. Like the current calendar, the 2014-2015 calendar features two-week breaks Oct. 13-24, Dec. 22-Jan. 2 and March 23-April 3. While their school boards have not yet adopted new calendars, DeKalb Central and Garrett-KeyserButler school district could adopt calendars similar to DeKalb Eastern’s, according to DeKalb Eastern Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens. “DeKalb Central has two calendars they are going back and forth with,” he said. “One would be very similar to this. All three calendars appear to be very close, but not exact.” The final student day under the adopted DeKalb Eastern calendar is May 29, 2015. The new calendar features six option days after Christmas to use in making up weather cancellations, Stephens said. “Do you think in most years we’ll be giving up most of the March break?” board member Alvin Hook asked.
“Historically, the most days we’ve lost since I’ve been superintendent is seven,” Stephens said. “We’ve been closed more for ice than we have been for snow. A rule of thumb, if the ditches are full of snow before Christmas, it usually doesn’t bode well for January and February.” DeKalb Eastern has applied for state waivers for Jan. 6 and 7 — two days of the days lost to last week’s winter storm. Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz allowed school districts to apply for waivers for those days. In other business Monday, the school board voted to retain its current officers: Leon Steury as president, Greg Newcomer as vice president and Lee Impton as secretary. The board also reappointed Phil Carpenter as treasurer. The board approved transfers of $582,650 in the general fund; $817,500 in capital projects and $4,200 in transportation operating. The general fund transfer is for instruction and general services needs. The capital projects transfer covers the purchase of D&A Mobile Home Park and Maple Street improvements. By state law, school boards may transfer funds from capital projects and
the transportation maintenance funds into a rainy day fund, Stephens said. The board agreed to move $65,000 into the district’s rainy day fund to replenish monies spent prior to the 2012-2013 school year to renovate locker rooms at Eastside. Monday, Stephens and Butler Elementary Principal Kim Clark discussed damage caused by a broken sprinkler line at that school Jan. 7. Water got into parts of the library, main office, south multipurpose room, computer lab and cafeteria at floor level, Stephens said. Several school officials and maintenance workers helped move furniture out of the library to allow a contractor to vacuum the water. The carpet is dry in all rooms, Clark said.

AUBURN — Business leaders and parents in DeKalb County will take their knowledge to the classroom in DeKalb Central Schools this month. Junior Achievement serving east and central DeKalb County held training for its volunteers Tuesday at Auburn Church of the Nazarene. The volunteers will teach curriculum designed by Junior Achievement to empower young people to make their own economic success. The “It’s My Business” curriculum designed for
sixth-grade students will encourage them to explore their entrepreneurial skills. Eighth-grade students will learn about career success, how to be workready, the importance of communication and how to create a personal brand. “We have so many strong volunteers going into the winter program,” said area coordinator Darinda Gres Smith. Among the volunteers were Auburn Fire Chief Mike VanZile and DeKalb Health CEO Fred Price. VanZile has taught freshmen at DeKalb High School for several years. Many of the volunteers
are returning instructors who have taught Junior Achievement at the elementary and high school level. “The volunteers are key to the program,” Smith said. “Their role is to be prepared and committed.” Dr. Lee Nagel of DeKalb Chiropractic also will lead a personal finance class at DeKalb Change Academy. Students will learn about earnings, savings, investing, budgeting, credit and risk management. According to Smith, Junior Achievement provides services for nearly 4,000 students in DeKalb Central and DeKalb Eastern school districts.

Garrett’s scoring queen Dawson becomes Railroaders’ all-time leading scorer in win over SA BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
GARRETT — Tuesday night’s Allen County Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinal game is one in which Garrett senior Brandi Dawson will never forget. Dawson led all scorers with 28 points in the contest in the Railroaders’ 53-41 victory, but that’s not what everyone will be talking about. Dawson broke the school’s all-time scoring record with 3:10 left in the first quarter after hitting a turnaround jumper in the lane. Dawson said she knew the ball was going in when she released it. “It means a lot, especially since my team helped me do that and they put a lot of effort into helping me,” Dawson said. “And it means a lot how much they care and everything.” The jumper gave her 1,244 points to surpass Kelly Surfus’ old mark of 1,243. Dawson finished the game with 1,267 career points and is all by herself at No. 1 in school annals. “As the time went by, I knew that I could be at
the top level of scoring,” Dawson said. “I looked up to the other great players when I was younger, when I was watching them play when I was in middle school, and I wanted to be like them.” With the record coming less than five minutes into the game, the Railroaders still had to maintain focus on the task at hand. “I knew that I had to still keep pushing myself and do my best,” said Dawson, who was presented the game ball by Surfus following the game. “The team also knew that, so we just kept playing how we normally played. And harder, too.” Said coach Bob Lapadot, “I’m very, very proud of her. She’s brought her teammates along, and that’s the best thing about her, what a good teammate she is. And you see how much her teammates care for her, and as a coach it means a lot.” Dawson sparked Garrett (14-0) to a double-digit lead in the first quarter. With the Railroaders up 9-6, Dawson scored nine straight points to end the period — three baskets and three free throws — to give Garrett
an 18-6 lead heading into the second quarter. South Adams tried to press Garrett, but the Railroaders were able to break it with ease. “They pressed us a little bit last time, and when I saw them Saturday we knew they were denying and taking it away,” Lapadot said. “We worked on that this week and executed very well.” Garrett then went on a 7-0 run midway though the second quarter to lead 25-11. “We thought we could go inside,” Lapadot said. “Taylor (Smith’s) so athletic, and we got them on the run with Brandi.” Garrett’s defense kept South Adams at bay in the first half, forcing 11 turnovers while holding the Starfires (11-4) to 7 of 22 shooting. Garrett finished with 12 steals on the night. South Adams would cut the deficit to nine points twice in the third quarter, at 33-24 and 37-28, but would get no closer. Garrett defeated South Adams by 32 points in the regular season. “They came here to win SEE DAWSON, PAGE B2

Garrett senior Brandi Dawson’s jumper with 3:10 left in the first quarter made Dawson the Railroaders’ all-time leading scorer, passing Kelly Surfus. Dawson finished with 28 points in the win over South Adams and now has 1,267 career points.
Railroaders top South Adams DeKalb duo
named Preps of the Week
BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
GARRETT — Just like the girls team did two hours before it, the Garrett boys basketball team used a strong first quarter to dispatch of South Adams in the quarterfinals of the Allen County Athletic Conference Tournament. The Railroaders went on a 14-0 run over a 3:30 stretch in the first period and never looked back, defeating the visiting Starfires, 66-56, on Tuesday night. “We were in attack mode all night long offensively, which we didn’t do on Saturday night,” said Garrett coach John Bodey. South Adams (2-9) led 3-2 early in the quarter before Garrett went to work. Kordell Kessler and Jared Estep nailed back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 8-3, Matt Singleton followed with a pair of buckets inside, and Justin McCoy hit two buckets himself to give the Railroaders (7-3) a commanding 16-3 lead. Ninety seconds later, McCoy hit a triple to make it 19-6. “Justin had his worst game of the year Saturday night,” said Bodey of the loss to Adams Central. “He didn’t attack very well and wanted to make up for it. He got in the lane a little bit more tonight.” Garrett didn’t let up in the second quarter, outscoring South Adams 17-11 to take a 36-19 lead into halftime. Bodey said he saw something in South Adams’ offense that allowed the Railroaders to press. Garrett forced 17 South Adams turnovers on the night.

A pair of DeKalb basketball players have been selected as The Star’s Preps of the Week. The weather eliminated many, many events in the area, but a handful of games were still played on Friday and Saturday night. Our selection for the boys this week is DeKalb junior Cole Hartman. Despite the Barons having lost seven of their last eight games, Hartman’s production hasn’t been limited. He scored 17 points in the setback to a ranked New Haven team on Hartman Saturday. And during the Carroll Shootout in late December, Hartman scored a season-high 34 points against Blackhawk Christian and tallied 16 against Huntington North. The girls selection for this week is DeKalb senior Hayley Martin. In Saturday’s blowout win over New Haven, Martin finished 22 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, while also Martin adding an assist and a steal.
IU grows up in upset of No. 3 Wisconsin BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Tom Crean watched his young Hoosiers grow up Tuesday night. Stunned fans were overjoyed with the results. The turnovers and fouls were down. The defense improved and the Hoosiers did more than just play for pride — they protected their home court against a team that hadn’t lost all season. Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell scored 25 points, including two free throws with 18.1 seconds left, and freshman Stanford Robinson added a careerbest 13 before grabbing the final rebound on a missed 3-pointer to preserve Indiana’s 75-72 upset over No. 3 Wisconsin — a win that sent students streaming onto the court. “The program has had a lot of big wins. To the team, it means a
great deal,” Crean said. “To me, the team needs this. I mean we had a long week from Michigan State to Penn State but we’ve gotten a lot better, and we got a lot better the last couple of days. It’s amazing what happens when some real confidence starts to come.” The postgame celebration exemplified how critical the win was to a team that has been mostly inconsistent. Until Saturday’s win at Penn State, the Hoosiers had beaten only one power conference foe — Washington — way back in November. Now they have two straight wins over Big Ten foes, taking down a team that had given it nothing but fits for seven years. Wisconsin (16-1, 3-1 Big Ten) entered the night as one of the
nation’s last four unbeaten teams and was trying to become the first team to ever win 13 straight over Indiana. The tale of the tape appeared to be stacked against the Hoosiers, too. Somehow, though, Indiana (12-5, 2-2) responded with its best performance of the season. It committed only nine turnovers, limited Wisconsin to four free throws and somehow managed to dig itself out from a 10-point second-half deficit with a remarkable 12-0 run that gave the Hoosiers the lead for good. “We’ve come very far, had a lot of early losses, but I felt like we learned from watching film,” said Ferrell, a sophomore who has emerged as Indiana’s top scorer. “We’ve been working hard in practice, but we’re not going to be
content with it.” Nor should they be. While Ferrell and Robinson led the way, only two other players — senior Will Sheehey and freshman Noah Vonleh reached double figures. Sheehey had 13 points, Vonleh 11. They lost the rebounding battle 33-28 and allowed the Badgers to shoot 53.3 percent from the field. They also struggled to defend Wisconsin guard Traevon Jackson, who had 16 of his careerhigh 21 in the second half. But it was the more experienced Badgers who got out of sorts late. Jackson missed a 3 from the top of the key with 12 seconds to go. Josh Gasser grabbed the rebound and flipped the ball out to Ben Brust in the corner, who rushed his shot with 5 seconds left and came up short.

Fremont sweeps Hamilton in round 1 of NECC tourney BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com
FREMONT — Fremont’s basketball teams had more weapons than Hamilton in picking up first-round victories in the Northeast Corner Conference Tournament Tuesday night. The Eagle girls defeated the Marines 58-26 to open the doubleheader, then the Fremont boys won 59-35. Boys Game Fremont 59, Hamilton 35 A deeper Eagle team pretty much had control from the opening tip. It advanced to the NECC quarterfinals where it will take on Eastside today in Butler around 7:45 p.m. The Blazers (5-5) defeated Central Noble 65-52 in another first-round game on Tuesday. On Tuesday, Fremont (3-7) took on a youth movement as coach Ted Bookwalter started three freshmen: Wade Regadanz, Logan Pentecost and 6-foot-4 swingman Nick LaRose.
Sophomore forward Austin Roebel was one of the first Eagles off the bench. Senior Andrew Thomas, a a 6-5 center in his first year playing high school basketball, played the fifth-most minutes for Fremon with 11 and grabbed four rebounds. Regadanz has been one of the area’s top players so far and led the Eagles on Tuesday with 18 points, seven rebounds and two steals. Pentecost, a home-schooled student, has been a regular in the rotation all season long and had eight points and three assists. Roebel started getting varsity time just before Christmas and LaRose has recently been added to the rotation. He had game-highs of 11 rebounds and two blocked shots to go with four points in 25 minutes. “I saw the West Noble-Prairie Heights game (Jan. 4) and I came back think we need to pull height up,” Bookwalter said. “The young guys gave us energy and
enthusiasm. Nick surprised us. He grew up as a guard and can run the point. He had a bunch of offensive rebounds. Casey Rote had 14 points, nine rebounds and a block for the Marines (4-5), who will play in a consolation game on Thursday. Addison Stephens had eight points and four boards. Colton Rose and Aaron Kelley each had five points for HHS. Rose had nine rebounds and a block. Kelley, one of Hamilton’s top players, picked up two fouls in the first 1 minute, 33 seconds and ended up fouling out after only playing 14 minutes. Girls Game Fremont 58, Hamilton 26 It was close for the first quarter and a half in a contest that was turnover-ridden with post players in major foul trouble. The Eagles separated themselves late in the second quarter, then used their defense to get a quick burst which extended
Eastside boys win, girls lose in NECC Tournament BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — The name of the game at tournament time is advance. That’s just what the Eastside boys basketball team did, defeating the Central Noble Cougars 65-52 in Northeast Corner Conference tournament action at Butler Tuesday. The Blazers (5-5) will play Fremont, a 59-35 winner over Hamilton, in the second game tonight at Eastside. The Central Noble girls will face Fremont in the first game at 6 p.m. “The name of the game is to advance,” Eastside coach Ryan Abbott said afterwards. “This is the first time in four years we’ve been able to advance in the conference tournament, and that means something to our players.” The Blazers got contributions from all eight players who saw action, with seven figuring in the scoring. Senior Ryan Liechty and junior P.J. Dean had 13 points each to lead the way. Senior Kadis Renier and junior Rob Singer had nine points each, and
junior Ethan Moughler added eight. Freshman Cade Willard had seven and junior Austin Baker had six. “Tonight, we were able to get out in transition a little more and we were able to get in the bonus early, and I think that was key,” Abbott said. “For a 32-minute game, we were the aggressors for probably 26 of those minutes. For those six minutes, (Central Noble) got after us. They play really hard and they’re very well-coached.” The Blazers were 21-of-54 (39 percent) from the field, but were 19-of-23 (83 percent) at the free throw line. Girls Game Central Noble 42, Eastside 29 BUTLER — Aggressive board play, especially in the second and fourth quarters, propelled the Central Noble Cougars to a 42-29 win over the Eastside Blazers in Northeast Corner Conference tournament action at Butler Tuesday. Central Noble held a 36-26 rebounding advantage for the night.
Junior Tricia VanGessel, who finished with 12 rebounds, had three putback scores on the night, including two in the second quarter when the Cougars increased their lead to 11 at one juncture. Senior Kennedy Forker was steady all night, finishing with a game-high 14 points. “Our focus was on (Maddy) Minehart because it’s a difficult match-up for us,” said CN coach Lynford Yoder. “She’s physical and she’s a good player. We also wanted to put some pressure on their guards.” The Cougar defense kept Minehart — who finished with seven points and 10 rebounds — in check most of the night. The Cougars led 28-16 following a bucket by Tiffany Simcox midway through the third. Eastside (2-11) rallied late in the period. Minehart scored inside, and senior Leah Ward cashed in from the lane late to cut the margin to eight. Minehart, Shook and Brianna Moore had seven points each for the Blazers.

a game in a very prestigious tournament and they weren’t going to let us blow them off the floor,” Lapadot said. “Survive and advance. We care about this tournament very much. I was a little high-strung coming into it, being our last time. It means a lot.” Dawson finished with seven rebounds, four steals, three blocks and two assists. Smith was also in double figures with 10 points while also chipping in five rebounds. Drue Bodey scored five points, Kaitlin Wisel and Emily Somers scored four
points each, and Megan Newby had two points to round out the scoring. South Adams was led by Dzenja Ahmetovic and Sydney Willis, who scored 14 and 12 points, respectively. Garrett moves on to play Southern Wells in the semifinals at 6 p.m. tonight at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne. The Raiders defeated Adams Central, 58-28. “From now on, all the celebrating that we do, everyone gets to be in the picture,” Lapadot said. “That’s our goal from here on out.”

GARRETT: McCoy leads the way with 22 points FROM PAGE B1
The game was never in doubt, but South Adams did make things quasi-interesting in the second half, cutting the Garrett lead to eight points a couple minutes into the third. But Garrett responded with a 13-1 run, led by contributions from McCoy, Karsten Cooper and Singleton, to lead 50-30 with 2:37 left in the third. South Adams would cut the deficit to 10 points late in the game but got no closer. McCoy led all scorers with 22 points, while Singleton and Cooper were also in double figures with 13 and 10 points, respectively. McCoy chipped in eight rebounds, Singleton had six rebounds, and Cooper added six steals.
Jared Estep finished with eight points and six assists. Jared Grabau led South Adams with 19 points, making all four 3-point attempts. Marco Vasquez was also in double figures with 13 points while Derek Wanner scored eight points before fouling out.

the lead further early in the third quarter. Fremont only led 9-7 after one quarter, then built up the advantage to 21-12 at the half and 44-19 after three quarters.

Fremont pressed more than it normally does and forced 32 Marine turnovers. Sophomore Shae Rhonehouse had 21 points, seven rebounds, four blocked shots and four steals to lead Fremont. Miranda White had nine points, seven steals, six rebounds, five assists and two

It had to back out of the Northridge Bankers Classic between the holidays because it had five players hurt or six and three others on vacation. Top player Lindsay Upp has missed a couple of games due to injury. “I’m not taking anything away from (Fremont). They are a good team. But we have not came close to winning since we lost Taylor,” Stiver said. “We are forced to have bigs bring the ball up the floor.” Upp had 11 points, five rebounds and three steals to pace Hamilton on Tuesday. Freshman Emma Gaff had five points, five boards and six steals. Caity Rose and Sanne Van Roessel each had four points. Rosee pulled down nine rebounds while Van Roessel blocked four shots.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Lions hire ex-Colts coach Jim Caldwell ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions said Tuesday that Jim Caldwell has been hired as the new coach and will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday. San Diego Chargers assistant and former Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt was seemingly Detroit’s top choice, but he chose to take the head coaching job at Tennessee on Monday night. The Lions are giving Caldwell another chance to be an NFL head coach. He helped the Indianapolis Colts reach the Super Bowl after his debut season in 2009, but was fired two years later after a 2-14 season while Peyton Caldwell Manning was injured, dropping his three-year mark to 26-22. Caldwell was hired by Baltimore two years ago to be their quarterbacks coach and was promoted to offensive coordinator late in the 2012 season. The Ravens went on to win the last Super Bowl. Caldwell won his first 14 games with the Colts in 2009 before losing the final two games of the regular season while resting Manning and most of the other starters. The Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Indy was 10-6 the following season and won another AFC South title, then lost to the New York Jets in a wild-card game. With Manning out for all of Caldwell’s third season, the Colts lost 14 games and Caldwell lost his job. In Baltimore, Caldwell replaced offensive coordinator Cam Cameron toward the end of the 2012 regular season and he seemed to give the offense a boost as it went on to win the Super Bowl against San Francisco. Helping the Lions win one playoff game would be a relative feat: Detroit has only one playoff victory — more than two decades ago — since winning the 1957 NFL title. Caldwell, who won two playoff games in his first season with the Colts, will be counted on to use his experience with quarterbacks to make Matthew Stafford better. Detroit drafted Stafford No. 1 overall in 2009 and after two injury-shortened seasons, he has been spectacular at times and shaky at others.
Mark Whipple hired again as UMass football coach AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The University of Massachusetts has hired Mark Whipple as its football coach. He returns to the school he coached from 1998 through 2003 and led to the Division I-AA national championship in his first season. UMass moved to the top level of college football when it joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2012. But the Minutemen went 1-11 in each of their two seasons under Charley Molnar. He was fired Dec. 26. After leaving UMass, the 56-year-old Whipple worked as quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2004-06, offensive assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008, offensive coordinator at the University of Miami from 2009-10 and quarterbacks coach with the Cleveland Browns from 2011-12. He did not coach last year.
2B Brian Roberts, Yanks finalize $2 million deal NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Roberts and the New York Yankees have completed their $2 million, one-year contract, a deal that allows the second baseman to earn $4.6 million if he becomes a regular starter. The contract was agreed to on Dec. 17 and finalized Tuesday, three days after a spot on the 40-man roster opened when Alex Rodriguez was suspended for the season for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract. The 36-year-old Roberts, an All-Star in 2005 and 2007, is an option to replace Robinson Cano, who signed with Seattle. Roberts, who had spent his entire 13-year major league career with Baltimore, has not played a full season since 2009 because of injuries. He hit .249 with eight homers and 39 RBIs in 77 games last year. In addition to his base salary, Roberts can earn $2.6 million in performance bonuses based on plate appearances: $175,000 each for 250 and 300; $250,000 apiece for 350 and 400; $300,000 each for 450 and 500; $350,000 for 550; and $400,000 apiece for 600 and 650. Roberts raises the Yankees’ luxury-tax payroll to about $165 million, including benefits — the exact amount is uncertain pending a determination on how Rodriguez will be accounted for. A-Rod originally was listed at $27.5 million, but arbitrator Fredric Horowitz ruled the suspension will cost him 162/183rds of his $25 million salary this year, which comes to $22,131,148. The Yankees hope to be under the $189 million tax threshold this year.
Red Wings recall Jurco DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings have recalled right wing Tomas Jurco from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Jurco has played in seven games with the Red Wings this season, scoring two goals with one assist.

No pain? Weight gain There is bad losing, like the Colts did Saturday night. There is worse losing, like losing your keys. Finally, there is good losing — as in weight. Faithful readers will remember nearly a year ago at this time, I discussed my attempt to lose 30 pounds. My secondary reason for doing so was to become healthy enough so I would one day be able to write in this space how wrong it was that Social Security had MATT gone bankrupt just when I needed it. My primary GETTS reason for wanting to lose weight was to get my then-9-year-old daughter off my back. She’s just a little pill, but my daughter is relentless. Now a year later, and I have exceeded my goal. This morning, After that first half mile, I was 39 pounds the endorphins start to down from kick in. That’s when the the same time a year “runner’s high” takes ago. I have effect. You don’t just feel managed to stay under good exerting yourself, my goal you feel great. weight for a couple of months now. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. Alas, I have learned that weight loss is not nearly as permanent as the other, bad kinds of losses. You never beat a weight problem, because the fight is never really over. For every mile jogged, there is a Big Mac waiting to happen. For every meal of rice and skinless chicken, there is a loaf of Velveeta singing its sweet siren song. The toughest part is finding the happy medium, which for me was losing enough weight to keep running and lifting weights while not starving myself to the point I occasionally wake up in the Dumpster behind Pizza Hut. The key for me is exercise. At this point, I should tell you that before beginning any sort of exercise regimen you should see your doctor. Or you could mail me $75 and I will give you the official OK. Once you get over the sting of paying $75 for your doctor to tell you it’s OK to spend the rest of your life miserably hungry, start working out slowly. I began with walking. Then I walked farther. Then I walked farther and faster. Then I jogged. Then I ran (or at least what constitutes running for me). The hardest part is maybe the first half mile or so. During that period, my knees will ache, my back will spasm and my arches will twinge in pain. My body will literally come up with excuses not to continue running. Fortunately, having children, I am able to block out whining like a professional. After that first half mile, the endorphins start to kick in. That’s when the “runner’s high” takes effect. You don’t just feel good exerting yourself, you feel great. The harder you work, the more your body protests, the better you feel. That runner’s high is addictive. If I don’t run every three or four days, I start to get grouchy. I crave sweating and oxygen deprivation like some people crave crack cocaine or my mom craves her soap operas. The big upside to this addiction is the effect is has on my weight. If I run hard three days a week and lift another three days a week, I can pretty much eat what I want three or four days a week. I only have to cut back every third day or so, but even now, it isn’t easy to stare at a box of rice and call it supper. But if it keeps the girl off my back, I guess it’s worth it.

‘Bridgegate:’ failed management of transportation BY THOMAS HELLER
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s “Bridgegate” at the Fort Lee entrance lanes to the George Washington Bridge serves notice of the dysfunction in the administration of our surface-transportation system. The political gamesmanship revealed by emails between Christie appointees is astounding and shameful. Before categorizing it as just another made-for-television political scandal, however, we need to understand how this sort of incident could occur anywhere in the nation. What we are witnessing in New Jersey has been in the works for decades. It is not merely the fall from grace of one state executive, his name besmirched by staffers whose actions more resemble Shakespearean villains than trusted appointees. It is representative of the failures, manipulations and outright fraud characterizing the realm of surface transportation, specifically the network of urban roads, transit and bridges governed by public bodies and financed by tax dollars. Among these failures were the enormous cost overruns of Boston’s “Big Dig” tunnel, a project manipulated and maneuvered from the start by consultants and government officials. Similarly, this same consultant-government cabal is attempting to manipulate expensive high-speed rail projects in several states, most notably in California. And that’s not all. Cities across the nation pursue high-cost transit projects that offer remarkably low productivity but whose “cool” factor lures voter approval, especially among the young
Guest Column • and impressionable. It should be no surprise that government has come to dominate transportation policy, a segment so crucially important to the efficient function of our people and our economy. And with government’s deep and entangling intrusion comes a sense of entitlement and unaccountability among those occupying influential transportation offices — the bureaucratic rabbit warrens to which political appointees gravitate and breed in sinecure with enough time to hatch petty political plots like those in New Jersey. Government’s near-complete corruption of surface-transportation infrastructure includes shadow groups known as Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) now controlling the flow of state and federal transportation dollars into those U.S. metropolitan areas serving populations over 50,000. These organizations are advised by staff and contracted consultants — all unelected but nonetheless preparing plans, approving projects and spending your tax dollars as they see fit. A few years back, even the MPO in my small Indiana town received almost a million federal stimulus dollars, lavished on a transit center for a four-bus system so inefficient it consumes over six tax dollars to transport every rider. Your town probably has a similar example. Will Rogers cogently observed that fraud is the inevitable result when

• two people get together to decide how to spend another person’s money. So, too, it is the inevitable outcome of government-erected mechanisms like MPOs. Meanwhile, the same consultants who were party to the financial fiasco that was Boston’s Big Dig are pitching a billion-dollar transit program in Indianapolis, flashing their history of being big players promoting expensive transit projects as the credentials that supposedly qualify them for any big-dollar, big-dream project anywhere. Bridgegate should be our warning. I fear it won’t be. Instead, an army of professional political spinners whose investment horizon extends only to the next election will misdirect our attention. The incident, in the end, may only divide the nation further while failing to alert us to the crisis at hand — the ongoing, systemic failure of a vital segment of our economy, transportation.

Israeli official insults Kerry’s peace efforts
Man fined for using stun gun on wife as part of football bet JUNEAU, Wis. (AP) — A suburban Chicago man was fined $250 after allegedly using a stun gun on his wife after she lost a bet on a Packers-Bears game. Forty-two-year-old John Grant of Tinley Park, Ill., pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct in a Wisconsin court on Thursday. Judge Steven Bauer ordered the fine plus court costs. The couple was driving through Mayville when they stopped at a bar to watch the Nov. 4 game. The Bears won 27-20. According to the complaint, Nicole Grant said her husband could use a stun gun on her for three seconds if Green Bay lost. John Grant allegedly used it three times, and she called police. She told officers she didn’t think her husband would actually use the weapon on her.
Detectives search Bieber’s home in vandalism case CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) — Detectives searched Justin Bieber’s home looking for surveillance footage that might serve as evidence the pop star was involved in an egg-tossing vandalism case that caused thousands of dollars in damage to a neighbor’s home, an official said Tuesday. Roughly a dozen investigators searched Bieber’s home and arrested one member of the singer’s entourage on suspicion of cocaine possession, Lt. David Thompson said. The man’s name was not immediately released, but Thompson said the cocaine was in plain view in Bieber’s house when deputies arrived. Bieber, 19, was at the home and cooperated with authorities but was not interviewed by detectives. Thompson said he expected the singer to speak with detectives when his attorney could be present. “He has not been arrested, nor has he been exonerated,” Thompson said of Bieber. Thompson declined to describe what evidence detectives took from Bieber’s home, but said the emphasis wasn’t on what was in the pop star’s refrigerator.

Curtis Reeves appears via video conference before Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper in Wesley Chapel, Fla., Tuesday. Tepper ordered Reeves, 71, held without bond on a charge of second-degree murder
in the death of 43-year-old Chad Oulson on Monday. An argument over texting in a movie theater ended with Reeves, a retired police captain, fatally shooting Oulson, authorities said.
Accused theater shooter ordered held without bail WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. (AP) — Chad Oulson was described by friends as a man who loved dirt bikes and his baby daughter. Curtis Reeves was a retired Tampa police officer with numerous commendations who liked riding his motorcycle with his wife. The men’s lives collided in a movie theater altercation that left Oulson dead and Reeves in jail. Oulson was texting his daughter’s daycare, friends said, and Reeves got mad. Authorities said Reeves shot and killed Oulson with a handgun after the men exchanged words. Reeves’ personnel files from the police department
show he led other agencies in gun safety training and received numerous letters of commendation for his leadership. Still, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said Tuesday: “It didn’t matter what he had done previously in his life. You don’t shoot someone over a texting incident.” During Reeves’ first court appearance Tuesday, Judge Lynn Tepper ordered the 71-year-old held without bond on a second-degree murder charge pending a bond hearing. Pasco County Sheriff’s officials say Reeves initially asked Oulson to stop texting at the theater in Wesley Chapel, a suburb about a half-hour north of
downtown Tampa. Sheriff’s Detective Allen Proctor wrote that Reeves spoke to Oulson during the movie previews, then got up and informed management. When Reeves returned to his seat “additional words were exchanged” and Oulson threw a bag of popcorn at Reeves, the report said. After officers read him his rights, Reeves told the detective that Oulson struck him in the face with an unknown object, and that’s when he removed a .380 caliber gun from his pants pocket. The report said Reeves fired the gun and struck Oulson once in the chest and that he “was in fear of being attacked.”
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s defense minister was quoted Tuesday as deriding U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s Mideast peace efforts as naive and foolhardy, triggering an angry response from Washington and rekindling simmering tensions with Israel’s closest and most important ally. The quotes appeared ahead of another visit by Kerry, who is expected in the region in the coming weeks to deliver his ideas on a framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Kerry has already submitted to Israel a series of proposals for ensuring Israel’s security as part of a future peace deal. In the comments published by the Yediot Ahronot daily, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon called Kerry “obsessive” and “messianic” and dismissed Kerry’s security plan as worthless. “The only thing that might save us is if John Kerry wins the Nobel Prize and leaves us be,” Yaalon was quoted as saying. Yaalon is a former military chief of staff and close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since becoming defense minister last year, a position of great influence in Israel, he has been a vocal skeptic of Kerry’s peace efforts. In his public statements, he has said Israel has “no partner” for peace and questioned the Palestinian commitment to resolving years of conflict.
Asked about the report, Yaalon issued a statement saying that relations with the U.S. are “intimate and meaningful” for Israel. “The United States is our greatest friend and our strongest ally and when there are differences they are resolved behind closed doors, including with Secretary Kerry with whom I have many conversations about the future of Israel. I will continue to determinedly, responsibly and thoughtfully protect the security of the people of Israel,” Yaalon said. His office would neither confirm nor deny the comments in Yediot, and repeated requests for additional comment were not answered. Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders scrambled to distance themselves from Yaalon, while the U.S. condemned the reported comments as “offensive and inappropriate.” The U.S. Embassy in Israel has complained about the reported comments to the Israeli government, said a senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record. Under heavy American pressure, Israel and the Palestinians resumed substantive peace talks last July for the first time in nearly five years. So far, there have been no signs of progress, and the talks have been marred by finger pointing by both sides.

People • West investigated after altercation BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Beverly Hills police say they’re investigating Kanye West for misdemeanor battery after a man accused the rapper of attacking him. Sgt. George DeMarois says several witnesses identiWest fied West as being involved in an altercation around 12:15 p.m. on Monday at an office on exclusive Wilshire Boulevard. The rapper had left the premises by the time officers arrived. Police said Tuesday they weren’t releasing further details and Blair Berk, an attorney representing West in another case, declined comment. West was charged last year with misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft after a fight with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport. He’s pleaded not guilty in the case. The photographer has sued West for assault and battery. West’s attorneys stated that West was in fear for his safety.
Juana Perez cries beside the coffin of her son, Rodrigo Benitez, 25, killed in the recent fighting in Antunez, Mexico Tuesday. The government moved in to quell violence between vigilantes and a drug cartel, and witnesses say several unarmed civilians were killed in an early Tuesday confrontation.
Mexican soldiers, vigilantes clash ANTUNEZ, Mexico (AP) — The Mexican government moved in to quell violence between vigilantes and a drug cartel in Michoacan state, but the campaign turned deadly early Tuesday with a confrontation between soldiers and civilians who witnesses say were unarmed. There were widely varying reports of casualties, but Associated Press journalists saw the bodies of two men said to have died in the clash, and spoke to the family of a third man who was reportedly killed in the same incident. No women or children died, contrary to earlier reports by the spokesman of a self-defense group. The Attorney General’s Office said it could not confirm a number of dead. The Interior Ministry said it had no information about reports that soldiers had fired on an unarmed crowd. “This is how they plan to protect the community? We don’t want them,” said Gloria Perez Torres, grieving over the body of
her brother, Mario, 56, who was killed in the clash. Antunez was calm again Tuesday, and self-defense groups remained armed and in control. In the city of Apatzingan, hundreds of federal police offices traveling in pickup trucks with machines guns mounted on the top, armored vehicles and buses amassed in the city square as residents watched. “The federal police have been here for years but they don’t do anything,” said a man sitting on a bench at the plaza who identified himself only as Ivan. Security analyst Alejandro Hope, who formerly worked for the country’s intelligence agency, called the government’s strategy in Michoacan a “disaster.” After initially arresting the vigilantes months ago, the federal government appeared to be working with them recently. The army and Federal Police have provided helicopter cover and road patrols while the self-defense groups attacked the cartel.

Angry dad wants to control his emotions DEAR ABBY: I’m a dad in my 30s and I have a problem. I have been battling anger issues since I was a kid. I have been finding myself getting more and more worked up with my kids. When they misbehave, I lose it and yell at them. It is the way I was raised; however, I feel even worse afterward. I really want to break this habit. I don’t want the only memories my children have of me to be images of my red face and bugged-out eyes hollering at them. Do you have any guidelines I can follow to get a better handle on my anger? —LOUD DAD IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR LOUD DAD: Yes, I do. And I’m glad you asked me because it’s important that you find other ways of relieving your frustration than taking it out on your children. It is not only counterproductive, it is extremely destructive. When a bigger person yells at a smaller person, the message

Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Dealing with anger calmly and with reason is more effective than lashing out. Expressing your feelings is healthy when it’s done with a few well-chosen words that make your point. As you have already learned, exploding in anger serves no constructive purpose and only makes you feel worse afterward. Sometimes when people are angry or frustrated about other things, they can lose control of their temper. In situations like these, it is important to evaluate the source of what might really be irritating you before misdirecting your anger at someone who is blameless.

nately, the more estrogen, the higher the likelihood of side effects such as high blood pressure or headaches. Minipills do not prevent ovulation as effectively as combination pills because they don’t contain estrogen. They mainly act by thickening secretions of the cervix and making it hard for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. They are about 98 percent effective. Minipills need to be taken exactly as directed. Even missing one pill can greatly reduce their effectiveness. Combination birth control pills are available in three subtypes: monophasic, biphasic and triphasic. Monophasic pills contain a constant amount of estrogen and progestogen. With biphasic and triphasic pills, the dose varies over the course of the month. For most women, monophasic birth control pills are a good first option.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve recently become sexually active and I’m planning to go on the pill. But there are so many different types of birth control pills. Which one is right for me? DEAR READER: I don’t know enough about you to give an answer that’s right for you. From my general remarks about these pills, I’m hopeful you can pinpoint the ones that seem right for you — and discuss them with your doctor. Birth control pills can be divided into two basic categories: combined pills and minipills. Most birth control pills are combined pills. They contain a combination of two types of female sex hormones: the hormone estrogen and a progestogen (a group of hormones that includes progesterone). Minipills contain a progestogen, but no estrogen. The estrogen in combined birth control pills prevents ovulation, the release of a

They work as well as the more expensive and more complicated biphasic and triphasic products. Minipills are a good option if you have a reason to avoid estrogen. The most common reasons are a tendency to develop blood clots, smoking and current breastfeeding. That’s because estrogen increases the tendency for blood clots. In smokers, even if they’ve never had a problem with blood clots in the past, starting on estrogen increases the risk for clots — and of the heart attacks and strokes caused by them. Estrogen reduces the amount of breast milk, so estrogen-containing birth control pills normally are not recommended in women who are breast feeding. DR.

Christie: Scandal won’t define state Judiciary against TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Faced with a widening political scandal that threatens to undermine his second term and a possible 2016 presidential run, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apologized again Tuesday, saying his administration “let down the people we are entrusted to serve” but that the issue doesn’t define his team or the state. On the eve of his second term, the governor opened his annual State of the State address by touching only briefly on the apparent political payback plot before moving on in his 46-minute speech to take credit for the state’s improving economy and cycle through such familiar themes as avoiding tax increases and working with the Democrats who control both chambers of the state Legislature. “The last week has certainly tested this administration,” he said. “Mistakes were clearly made. And as a result, we let down the people we are entrusted to serve. I know our citizens deserve better.” He received tempered applause after he went on, saying, “This administration and this Legislature will not allow the work that needs to be done to improve the people’s lives in Jersey to be delayed.” Turning later to policy matters, he warned that the state must reduce its pension and debt-service payments in the coming year. They’re scheduled to rise by a combined total of nearly $1 billion. He also promoted the state’s rising high school graduation rate and
privacy advocate joining spy court WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. judiciary told Congress Tuesday it opposes the idea of having an independent privacy advocate on the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, while members of Congress lauded the idea at a Capitol Hill hearing.

“We don’t think that’s consistent with our legal traditions,” Sunstein said. Those competing points of view are playing out as President Barack Obama decides what changes he’ll back and unveil in a speech Friday, to satisfy privacy, legal and civil liberties concerns over the NSA’s surveillance practices. Bates, the former FISA chief judge, also rejected the panel’s recommendation that the government seek court approval every time it wants to obtain information in cases of national security, known as a national security letter. Roughly 20,000 such letters are issued every year. Bates said it would create too much work for the court, even if staff was added to handle the caseload. Bates was speaking for the judiciary in his current role as the administrative judge of the United States courts. Rep. Adam Schiff, an advocate for FISA reform, said Tuesday that reformers aren’t pushing for an independent advocate in all cases. “It would only be for the request to bless broad programs or for novel constitutional issues,” the California Democrat said in an interview Tuesday.
