State grades school districts DeKalb Central boosts rating from C to B FROM STAFF REPORTS

INDIANAPOLIS — Two northeast Indiana school districts earned A’s, and three showed improvement in quality grades released Wednesday by the Indiana Department of Education. The grades apply to entire school districts. They are being issued four weeks after the state released grades for individual schools in December. Fremont Community Schools repeated its A grade from 2012. The Prairie Heights school district improved to an A for 2013 after earning a B in 2012. DeKalb Central schools and the Metropolitan School District of Steuben County both improved to B grades after C’s in 2012. Two school districts — Lakeland and Garrett-Keyser-Butler — dropped to C grades for 2013 after earning B’s in 2012. Seven other local school districts received

the same grades for 2013 as for 2012. Earning B’s for the second year in a row are Westview and East Noble. Earning C’s for two consecutive years are DeKalb County Eastern, Central Noble, West Noble, Hamilton and Smith-Green school districts. “The A-F system is simply one tool used to measure our local schools. We continue to utilize numerous measures at the local level, which truly measure student growth,” said Tonya Weaver, an administrator for GarrettKeyser-Butler schools. Hamilton Community Schools Superintendent Jon Willman said the district is generally pleased with its score. Willman, who previously has criticized the state’s scoring method, saying it doesn’t tell the whole story, repeated that sentiment and said a new system would be beneficial. DeKalb Central administrators could not be reached for comment on their district’s grade.

House passes budget Stutzman votes in favor of plan WASHINGTON (AP) — Party leaders pushed a massive $1.1 trillion spending bill for this year through the House on Wednesday, shunning the turmoil of recent budget clashes with a compromise financing everything from airports to war costs and brimming with victories and concessions for both parties. The huge bill furnishes the fine print — 1,582 pages of it — for the bipartisan pact approved in December that set overall spending levels for the next couple of years. With that decision behind them, the measure sailed through the House with no suspense and little dissent — fueled additionally by lawmakers’ desire to avoid an election-year replay of last fall’s widely unpopular 16-day federal shutdown. Approving the legislation “is showing the American people we actually are capable of working in a bipartisan manner,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. He praised the bill for holding down spending and said passage would be “the responsible thing to do. It’s the thoughtful thing to do.” The measure was approved by a one-sided 359-67 roll call, with virtually all opposition coming from Republicans. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., of Howe, voted in favor of the bill. “While this bill isn’t perfect, it cuts discretionary spending to

Waterloo advised to expand tax district BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

WATERLOO — The town of Waterloo is considering expanding its tax increment financing district to generate more revenue. Currently, the town’s TIF district covers primarily the northwest side of the town. A map presented to the Town Council Tuesday night by town consultant DeWayne Nodine proposes stretching the district along U.S. 6 throughout much of the town’s heart, including land that is the site of businesses Charleston Metal Products, R.P. Wakefield, Subway and Dollar General. It also would extend the district south to include the planned expansion of metal recycler MetalX. Nodine told the council that a larger TIF district would allow the town to subsidize future community improvement projects. “Done right and put in the right areas, (TIF districts) can

really be a great source of revenue for infrastructure-related projects, especially related to economic development,” Nodine said. He said projects such as a new Amtrak station and major sanitary sewer work potentially could be funded from TIF revenue. The town will consider developing a parcel list, a legal description and an economic development plan necessary for the TIF district expansion. The council agreed to pay Sturtz Public Management Group $8,000 to work on the project, which has a March 1 deadline. In other business Tuesday, the council held its annual reorganization meeting, with previous officers remaining in place. President Candi Surber and Vice President Bill Hubartt both were re-elected. The council also: • agreed to serve as the applicant on a grant call-out for

the federal Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation home improvement project. Representatives from Community Action of Northeast Indiana approached the council to suggest applying for the grant, which awards towns as much as $350,000 to distribute for $25,000 home improvement projects around the town. • agreed to erect signs at each of the town’s five cul-de-sacs to prohibit parking when snow accumulates above 2 inches. Street superintendent Ben Parker approached the council after experiencing troubles turning his plows in cul-de-sacs. The signs will order motorists to move their vehicles or risk being towed. The council ordered town attorney David Kruse to draft an ordinance for the plan. • will pursue applying for federal reimbursement for expenses claimed during last week’s major winter storm.

“Done right and put in the right areas, (TIF districts) can really be a great source of revenue for infrastructure-related projects.” DeWayne Nodine Consultant to Waterloo

• The town was notified by DeKalb County Homeland Security director Roger Powers that counties can apply for aid for expenditures accrued during the 48 hours that the county was under a snow emergency. Parker told the council he spent more than $1,000 on fuel alone during the storm.

Legislators react to State of the State message INDIANAPOLIS — State legislators from northeast Indiana are reacting to Tuesday night’s State of the State address by Gov. Mike Pence. Pence asked lawmakers to support his plans to phase out the state’s business personal property tax, expand charter schools, launch a new scholarship program allowing low-income children to attend preschool and create a tax credit to promote adoption, The Associated Press reported. Issuing comments about the speech are Sen. Kruse Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn; Rep. Ben Smaltz, R-Auburn; Sen. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange; Rep. David Ober, R-Albion; and Rep. Dennis Zent, R-Angola.

Kruse “I enjoyed the governor’s speech. He laid out his platform of ideas and addressed the issues that are facing Indiana and the General Assembly this year.

“The governor emphasized job creation, which is a direct result of Indiana’s fiscal responsibility and low-tax policies. In 2013, one in eight jobs created in the U.S. were generated by an Indiana employer. This is remarkable, and I look forward to working with our governor to further strengthen Indiana’s economy.”

Smaltz “Tonight I had the opportunity to reflect on the legislative accomplishments of 2013 and hear Gov. Pence’s goals for 2014 as he gave his second State of the State address. Gov. Pence’s remarks align well Smaltz with my beliefs regarding the needs of Hoosiers and the goals for this legislative session. “Like our governor, I believe we must continue work that will attract employers to our state and protect Hoosier taxpayers. We took a big step last year with creating the Indiana Career

Region • Commercial license deadline nearing INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is reminding motorists who hold commercial driver’s licenses that the deadline to self-certify is Jan. 30. It says federal regulation requires license holders to certify to the BMV the type of commercial motor vehicles that they operate, or intend to operate, and to acknowledge that they’ve met medical requirements. Self-certification can be completed free of cost online at www.mybmv.com or at a BMV branch when completing a transaction. The BMV says failure to self-certify will disqualify the commercial driving privileges Feb. 1.

More use SNAP at farmers markets GOSHEN — More people are using food stamps, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), to pay for items at farmers markets, according to news reports. The Goshen News reports Alan Shannon, director of public affairs for the USDA’s food and nutrition service in the Midwest, said that $47,644 worth of food stamps was spent at Indiana farmers markets in 2013 — more than twice what was spent in 2011. Jo Ellen Davis, manager of the Goshen Farmers Market, said that more than $2,000 in SNAP benefits was spent at the market in 2013 — the first full year that the market has accepted SNAP as payment. She said SNAP customers can use their benefits on any food item at the market. Even during winter months, the market sells jams, noodles, chocolate, apple cider and more.

Council, which is helping equip Hoosiers for our growing workforce, and this session we will focus on creating the best business climate for job growth. I am working on multiple bills to address issues in these areas, and I am excited for a session that continues Indiana’s progress and benefits Hoosier families.” Smaltz represents all of DeKalb County, the Hamilton area of Steuben County and a portion of northern Allen County.

Glick “Governor Pence made clear Glick that Indiana must do more to continue our tradition of pro-growth policies. I agree with this idea, and I applaud his efforts so far to set Indiana on the right track. “However, with our state’s current revenue forecast, we must be mindful of the balance between lowering taxes and being fiscally responsible. As various proposals on the business personal property tax move through the General

Assembly, I welcome further discussion on this issue and look forward to reaching a conclusion that benefits all Hoosiers.”

Ober “Indiana has established itself as a pro-business and tax-friendly leader with conservative principles keeping our state on the right path. In the governor’s address, he reinforced his commitment to maintaining Ober our position at the forefront of economic growth and prosperity. “Last session, the General Assembly passed legislation that created the Indiana Career Council. This initiative has helped put Hoosiers back to work by equipping them with the skills necessary to thrive in today’s global marketplace. We will continue working with the governor on our shared vision of creating jobs and improving workforce development.”

Ober represents all of Noble County, the Wolcottville area in LaGrange County and portions of Allen, Elkhart and Whitley counties.

Zent “Governor Pence laid out critical agenda points that will impact policy discussions during the 2014 session. With so many common goals, we should be able to work side-by-side to serve Hoosiers and better Indiana. “I am pleased that the governor shares our goal of Zent making job creation a top priority. We share a commitment in addressing Indiana’s skills gap by better equipping Hoosiers with the skills they need to fill jobs that are available right now and in the future. Preparing our workforce for the needs of today’s job market is a great first step towards helping folks in our community return to work.” Zent represents most of LaGrange and Steuben counties.

Ashley, Smithfield renew fire contract BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcmedia.com

ASHLEY — The Ashley Town Council renewed the town’s fire protection contract with Smithfield Township at a meeting Monday night. The Ashley Fire Department will serve Smithfield Township for a contracted fee of $13,080, a slight increase from last year, said Councilman Randy McEntarfer. Ashley lies in the northwest corner of

Smithfield Township, which takes in 36 square miles of north-central DeKalb County. The Ashley council also renewed its contract for services from the Steuben County Economic Development Corp. for $2,519 in 2014. Council members re-elected Don Farrington as their president, with Randy McEntarfer as vice president and the council’s representative to the Region 3-A planning council. Mike

Hasselman serves as the third member of the Ashley council. The council passed an ordinance affecting new police officers on its first reading, with some adjustments expected before final passage, McEntarfer said. The ordinance would require new police officers to reside with 20 miles of Ashley as a condition of employment. An officer would have to live within five miles of the town to qualify to take a police

Workers vacate flood-damaged town hall ELLETTSVILLE (AP) — Workers have moved from a southern Indiana community’s Town Hall because it was badly damaged by flooding last month. The Ellettsville clerk-treasurer’s office left the building Tuesday, joining some other workers who previously transferred

to a business complex in a former elementary school about a half mile down the road. Those workers will remain in the new offices while town leaders consider their options for repairing the Town Hall, Town Council President Scott Oldham told The HeraldTimes. “I want to avoid rushing to make any decisions about this,” Oldham said. The former bank building

in the town about five miles northwest of Bloomington was damaged in flash flooding from heavy rains on Dec. 21-22. It has served as the Town Hall for about 50 years. The 6,400-person town’s police, fire and street departments already are housed in other buildings. Oldham said there wasn’t a deadline to decide whether to salvage Town Hall or to use the building for another purpose.

vehicle home. The town has three full-time police officers. McEntarfer said the council expects two of those officers to leave or retire later this year. McEntarfer said the council is dealing with a $50,000 reduction in Ashley’s property tax income for December due to successful challenges of property assessments.

Apple to refund $32.5 million WASHINGTON (AP) — Kids gleefully snapped up virtual pet food, gems or other items while absorbed by games on their mobile devices. Parents felt the sting of sometimes hefty charges from Apple Inc. incurred by accident or without their permission. Following tens of Ramirez thousands of consumer complaints, the Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that Apple Inc. will pay at least $32.5 million to settle a federal case involving those in-app purchases. Apple also must change its billing practices to make it more obvious that an actual purchase is taking place during the course of the game or app. Just how could a kid buy these things without mom or dad’s knowledge and run up bills into the hundreds of dollars or more? A game-player wants to advance to a new level or buy coins, a chest of gems or treats for a virtual pet. It takes a click, and then the app asks for a password, and a parent punches it in. But, according to the FTC complaint, Apple did not make it clear that they were buying something. Parents also were not told that entering the password started a 15-minute clock

during which kids could make unlimited purchases without any further action by an adult, the agency said. A single purchase generally can range from 99 cents to $99, the commission said. One parent told the FTC that her daughter had spent $2,600 in “Tap Pet Hotel,” in which kids can build their own pet lodging. The game is free to download and play, but it takes in-app purchases for treats and coins for the pets. Others consumers reported unauthorized purchases by children totaling more than $500 in the apps “Dragon Story” and “Tiny Zoo Friends.” “You cannot charge consumers for purchases they did not authorize,” said Edith Ramirez, the commission chairman. Apple will have until Mar. 31 to come up with a billing system that ensures the company obtains consumers’ informed consent before billing them for in-app purchases. The settlement involves all apps in which minors made unauthorized purchases. It addresses the same issue raised in a class-action lawsuit that Apple resolved last year. In that case, Apple agreed to contact 28 million of its app customers to offer them a $5 store credit or a $30 cash refund if their children had spent at least that much money without parental consent.

Court upholds conviction of Michael Jackson doctor LOS ANGELES (AP) — An appellate court on Wednesday unanimously upheld the involuntary manslaughter conviction of Michael Jackson’s doctor, determining there was substantial evidence of his guilt presented at trial. The ruling by the California 2nd District Court of Appeal came less than three months after former cardiologist Conrad Murray was released. He served two years in jail for causing Jackson’s 2009 death. The 68-page ruling includes lengthy recitations of the evidence against Murray, who was convicted in 2011 of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in June 2009 while the superstar was preparing for a series of comeback concerts titled “This Is It.” The six-week trial focused on Murray’s care of Jackson, including nightly doses of propofol to help the entertainer sleep. In its opinion, the appeals court determined that Superior Court Judge

Michael Pastor was within his right to impose the maximum sentence of four years. Murray’s “callous disregard for Mr. Jackson’s health and safety was shown throughout the trial from the manner in which he administered a number of dangerous drugs to Mr. Jackson without the appropriate medical equaipment, precautions or personnel in place, and to the manner in which he left Mr. Jackson unattended,” the opinion states. “The evidence demonstrated that Mr. Jackson was a vulnerable victim and that (Murray) was in a position of trust, and that (Murray) violated the trust relationship by breaching standards of professional conduct in numerous respects,” it said. The former physician was released from jail in October due to a change in California law requiring nonviolent offenders to serve their sentences in county jails and as a result of credits for good behavior.

BUDGET: Bill heads off cuts to Pentagon budget FROM PAGE A1

emotions, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., praised the measure because she said it would “get us out of this cycle of governing by crisis.” But she added that its spending for social programs was “far too low for too many people to really achieve the American dream.” The Democratic-run Senate planned to bestow final congressional approval of the legislation by the end of the week. To keep agencies functioning while Congress votes on the legislation, the Senate by a 86-14 vote gave final congressional approval to a measure financing the government through Saturday. An earlier short-term spending measure expires after midnight Wednesday evening. The giant bill debated Wednesday heads off an additional $20 billion in automatic cuts to the Pentagon’s budget — on top of $34 billion imposed last year — and cuts to many domestic programs as well. The reductions were being triggered by a 2011 law that forced the cuts after President Barack Obama and Congress failed to negotiate budget savings. Conservative groups like Club for Growth and Heritage Action were urging

lawmakers to oppose it, but the White House urged its passage. “We met compelling human needs. We certainly preserved national security,” said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., chief author of the spending bill with her House counterpart, Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky. The measure provided money for Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul and his revamping of federal oversight of the nation’s financial markets — though not as much as he requested. It continued age-old restrictions on federal financing of most abortions, but lacked new ones. Democrats also blocked GOP-sought curbs on the Environmental Protection Agency’s power to regulate utilities’ greenhouse gas emissions. “It’s funding Obamacare, and I pledged a long time ago I absolutely wouldn’t vote for anything that has financing for Obamacare,” said Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., who said he’d vote “no.” Overall, the measure provides about $20 billion more for defense and domestic programs this year than was spent in 2013, excluding the costs of war and natural disasters. Even so, it still leaves defense

and domestic spending on a downward trend since 2010, a number that troubles many Democrats. “For several years we’ve been cheating Americans of a number of things we should be doing for infrastructure, science research, education, to make our country stronger,” said Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., who said he hadn’t decided how he would vote. The bill would provide nearly $92 billion for U.S. military operations abroad, mostly in Afghanistan, plus about $7 billion for disasters and other emergencies. That was just slightly less than last year’s war spending but about $44 billion less than was provided in 2013 for disasters, after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Northeast in October 2012. One widely supported provision would roll back a reduction in annual cost-ofliving increases for wounded military personnel who retire early or for their surviving spouses. Some Western lawmakers were angry that the bill would block federal payments to communities near government lands to compensate for the taxes the government is exempt from paying them. Top lawmakers promised the payment would be restored in a separate measure.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Federal Reserve survey shows economic growth remained healthy in most U.S. regions in late November and December, helped by gains in consumer spending and factory output. Nine of the Fed’s 12 banking districts described growth as moderate, according to the Beige Book survey released Wednesday. That’s up from seven districts in October through early November. And two of those districts said growth had accelerated since the previous report. Only two districts — Boston and Philadelphia — said growth was modest, while Kansas City said it “held steady.” Three-quarters of the districts said shoppers spent more over the winter holidays. And all but Kansas City said manufacturing production grew. The Beige Book survey is based on anecdotal reports from businesses and will be considered along with other data when the Fed meets next Jan. 28-29. The report showed little signs of the slowdown in hiring that the government reported last week. The Labor Department said

Friday that employers added only 74,000 jobs last month, down from an average of 214,000 in the preceding four months. The Fed survey, however, said two-thirds of the districts reported increases in hiring. That may bolster the view among many economists that December’s hiring slowdown was temporary and partly the result of bad weather. Still, weaker December job gains could lead the Fed to rethink its recent decision to pull back on some of its stimulus. Fed policymakers decided last month to cut the monthly purchases to $75 billion from $85 billion and suggested it would further trim its buying in future meetings. The bond purchases are intended to spur more borrowing and spending. But Dana Saporta, an economist at Credit Suisse, said the report was positive enough to suggest that the Fed will continue reducing its purchases. “We find nothing that threatens to divert the Fed from its current tapering path,” she said. There have been other

signs that the economy is growing at a solid pace. Americans increased their spending at retailers in November and December at a faster pace than the previous year, according to the National Retail Federation. Greater consumer spending is a key reason that most economists expect growth will top 3 percent at an annual rate in the October-December quarter. That would mark a second straight quarter of healthy growth after a 4.1 percent expansion from July through September. Several districts reported significant improvement in manufacturing, suggesting businesses and consumers are spending more. A manufacturer in the Dallas district said that his company “had too many jobs to bid on … for the first time since before the recession,” according to the Beige Book. Most districts also said home sales, construction and prices continued to rise. Several districts said the housing recovery was boosting output “all the way from raw materials like lumber to finished products like kitchen cabinets.”

Big banks’ profits grow NEW YORK (AP) — Three of the nation’s biggest banks — JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo — are benefiting from growing deposits, fewer bad loans and higher investment banking fees. But not everything is rosy as the banks report earnings this week. Revenue remains weak and some of the banks’ earnings have come from one-time accounting moves. There are also ongoing legal expenses from mortgage securities and other lawsuits. Among the trends in fourth-quarter bank earnings: REFINANCING BOOM WANES:

Interest rates are rising, and fewer Americans are getting mortgages or refinancing their homes. All three banks reported double-digit declines in their mortgage business for the fourth quarter. All expect a further slowdown in mortgage originations this year. Mortgage rates are tied

to the bond market, where yields have risen steadily since May 2013. Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said last week that the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage had an interest rate of 4.51 percent, compared with 3.35 percent in May 2013. “It’s no surprise that the banks’ mortgage businesses have slowed,” says Michael Scanlon, a managing director at John Hancock Asset Management. The slowing has led to thousands of layoffs at the banks. LOAN PROVISION BOOST:

A large chunk of fourth-quarter earnings at JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo came from an accounting maneuver related to loan-loss reserves. Because of the way bank accounting works, money pulled from loan-loss reserves can be used to increase profits. Here’s the backstory. During the financial crisis, as tens of thousands of Americans fell behind on

their mortgages, banks started putting lots of money into reserves to cover potentially bad loans. At the height of the crisis, the big banks had socked away tens of billions of dollars into loan-loss accounts. As the economy improved, most of those loans never went bad, or were refinanced. So banks have moved money steadily out of reserves and back onto profit-and-loss statements. In the latest quarter, JPMorgan had a $1.3 billion boost to earnings because they reduced the amount of money in their loan-loss reserves. Bank of America added $1.8 billion to its profits and Wells Fargo benefited from a $600 million boost from its loan-loss reserves. A bank’s loan-loss reserves only go so far and there’s only so much money a bank can release from them. Analysts say that banks are going to have to find other ways to replace these one-time jolts.

Senate committee calls Benghazi attacks preventable WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report on the deadly assault on the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, Wednesday, laying blame on the State Department, the intelligence community — even the late Ambassador Chris Stevens — for failing to communicate and heed warnings of terrorist activity in the area. The highly critical report also says the U.S. military was not positioned to aid the Americans in need, though the head of Africa Command had offered military security teams that Stevens — who was killed in the attack — had rejected weeks before the attack. It also said that in the aftermath of the attacks, U.S. analysts confused policymakers by blaming the violence on protests without enough supporting intelligence. The 2012 Benghazi attacks have dogged the Obama administration, because then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice initially blamed the violence on mob protests over an anti-Islamic film. Al-Qaidalinked militant groups were later blamed for the attacks, first when militants overran

the temporary U.S. mission on Sept. 11, 2012, and later that same night, when militants fired mortars at the nearby CIA annex where the Americans had taken shelter. The bipartisan report may settle what has become a running political battle between Republicans, mostly in the House, who say the Obama administration has been covering up what they consider misdeed before, during and after the attack, and the administration, which says Republicans are on a political witch hunt. Committee chairman Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, says she hopes this will put to rest conspiracy theories about the militant attacks that night. Republican vice chairman Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said the report shows despite a deteriorating security situation in Benghazi, the U.S. government did not do enough to prevent the attacks or to protect the diplomatic facility. “The State Department should have increased its security posture more significantly in Benghazi based on the deteriorating security situation on the

ground and IC threat reporting on the prior attacks against Westerners in Benghazi—including two previous incidents” at the temporary diplomatic facility that year, a summary of the report states. The State Department said Wednesday that there have been dozens of reports, hearings and briefings on the Benghazi attack and that many of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s findings are similar to those made by the independent Benghazi Accountability Review Board, which issued a report in December 2012. The Senate report does note that the State Department has created a new assistant secretary position for high threat posts to focus on such dangerous areas, but says the department should in the future react more quickly to security threats and only in rare instances use facilities that are inadequately protected. It said State should not rely on local security alone in countries where the host government cannot provide adequate protection. The report notes that the State Department in 2012 had ignored its own “tripwires” set to determine when it had become too

order in Benghazi to help defend” the U.S. facilities in Benghazi, it said. Yet it points out that Stevens had rejected additional security. The Defense Department had provided a Site Security Team in Tripoli, made up of 16 special operations personnel to provide security and other help.

The State Department, according to the report, decided not to extend the team’s mission in August 2012, one month before the attack. In the weeks that followed, Gen. Carter Ham, the head of Africa Command, twice asked Stevens to employ the team, and twice Stevens declined, the report said.

GHS advances to title game Railroaders top Southern Wells, 49-30; face Leo in final on Saturday BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

FORT WAYNE — Southern Wells gave Class 3A No. 3 Garrett everything it could handle in the first half as the teams went into halftime tied at 20. But the Railroaders, coming off a difficult second quarter, got rolling quickly in the third, outscoring the upset-minded Raiders 17-4 in the period en route to a 49-30 win in the Allen County Athletic Conference Tournament quarterfinals Wednesday night at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. “We woke up,” Garrett coach Bob Lapadot said. “We had a little talk at halftime, and decided it was time to change the way we were playing. “I told them we’ve got 16 minutes (left), and we’re 0-0. What are you going to do? This is all your goals and everything. How do you respond? And we responded like the good team we are.” The Railroaders play Leo in the championship game at 10 a.m. Saturday, which is also at the Coliseum. Garrett (15-0) led 17-8 early in the second quarter, but the Raiders (7-7) would go on a 12-3 run in the final six minutes to tie the game at 20. The Railroaders went 7:27 without a made field goal and uncharacteristically turned the ball over 13 times in the first half. It was also a tough shooting half, making only 5 of 17 field goal attempts. “We were getting

outworked, and we were lucky it was only 20-20,” Lapadot said. But the Railroaders responded in the third quarter, backed by seniors Brandi Dawson and Kaitlin Wisel. Wisel hit a 3-pointer 30 seconds into the period to give the Railroaders a lead they would not relinquish. Dawson would follow with a bucket and a 3-pointer to push the lead to 28-22. Following a pair of free throws by Southern Wells’ Savannah Deakyne to make it 28-24, Garrett ended the third on a 9-0 run, getting a 3-pointer and two free throws from Dawson, and two baskets by sophomore Taylor Smith. By that point, the Railroaders were comfortably up 37-24 and the game was no longer in doubt. “We finally took advantage of what they gave us,” Lapadot said. “They’re laying back in the lane, and no one’s coming outside the free-throw line and we continue to drive into them instead of shooting the ball.” Dawson led all scorers with 23 points and added six rebounds, four assists and two steals. Smith tallied eight points and 10 rebounds, Wisel had seven points and five rebounds, Emily Somers had four points, Drue Bodey had four points and seven rebounds, and Rachel DePew hit a 3-pointer to round out Garrett’s scoring. Lela Knowles led Southern Wells with seven points. Ashton Prible

added four points and six rebounds. Garrett crashed the boards in outrebounding Southern Wells, 33-22. It was another strong defensive outing for Garrett, which only allowed 10 second-half points. The 30 points were a season-low for the Raiders. “You got to be able to take advantage of your defense because, a good team like that, you don’t expect to hold them to 10,” Lapadot said. Garrett and Leo already met once earlier this season, with the Railroaders coming away with a 50-37 win back on Dec. 7. With this being Garrett’s final year in the ACAC, the Railroaders want to leave a lasting impression

on the league. It’s the sixth straight year the Lions have advanced to the title game. “If we’re going out this year and they’re going out next year, what do you expect,” Lapadot said. “The years we’ve spent in

here and the battles we’ve had, our kids are excited. It ought to be a heck of a matchup.” Garrett has won the tournament three times: 2008, 2009 and 2011. Leo has won it 15 times, and three of the last four years.

BUTLER — Good starts to the game and third quarter propelled Eastside’s boys basketball team into the semi-finals of the Northeast Corner Conference tournament. Wednesday, the Blazers led 21-13 after one quarter. After Fremont pulled within five by halftime, the hosts got hot in the third, running off 11 straight points on the way to a 62-48 win. Eastside (6-5) will host West Noble at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Fremont and West Noble will tangle in the girls semi-final game at 6 p.m. at Butler. “Until tonight and last night, we had kind of struggled this year getting off to good starts in the first and third quarters,” Eastside coach Ryan Abbott said. “I credit this win to our guys believing in our system,” he said. “We can run a little bit this year, and if we don’t get anything in transition, they believe in reversing the basketball and that sharing the ball is the right thing to do.” Junior P.J. Dean led the way for the Blazers, scoring 22 points. Senior Ryan Liechty had 14 points and senior Kadis Renier added 13 in the win. The Blazers led 11-5 on Liechty’s rebound basket midway through the quarter. Dean added

The lead grew to 30-17 on Ethan Moughler’s three-pointer, but Fremont held the Blazers without a point over the last five minutes of the half. In that time, Beams connected for six points and freshman Wade Regadanz, who had 19 to lead Fremont, added two, as the Eagles closed to 30-25 by the break. A Beams jumper enabled

Fremont to tie the score early in the third before the Blazers went off on an 11-0 run, highlighted by two Dean threes and one by Renier, to make it 41-30 at the halfway mark. After two Logan Peel free throws with 4:55 to play had Fremont within 52-44, a Liechty score in the paint and two free throws sparked a 10-0 Blazer run to seal the verdict. “Credit Fremont; they made a nice run in the second quarter,

Bulls hold off Magic in triple OT, 128-125 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Joakim Noah had a season-high 26 points, Carlos Boozer scored 23, and the Chicago Bulls held on to beat the Orlando Magic 128-125 in triple-overtime on Wednesday night. The Magic had a chance to win the game with less than 10 seconds to play, but Glen Davis’ jumper was partially blocked and rebounded by the Bulls with just 1.5 seconds remaining. The Bulls have now won the last seven matchups with the Magic played in Orlando and improved to 4-1 since trading Luol Deng.

Victor Oladipo had a careerhigh 35 points and Jameer Nelson added 31 points and 10 assists for Orlando. Tobias Harris added 22 points and 16 rebounds. The Magic extended their season-high losing streak to nine games. Orlando played without Arron Afflalo and Nik Vucevic. Afflalo missed his third straight game with a strained right foot, and Vucevic was out for the fifth straight with a concussion. The game featured 20 lead changes and 14 ties.

During their most recent road trip, the Magic were tripped up by injuries as they dropped five straight games. Despite losing by an average of 20 points during the trip, coach Jacque Vaughn continually lauded his team’s improvement throughout. Orlando returned home still battered, but the strides showed up again against a Bulls team that came in with three wins in their first four games since trading Deng to Cleveland. In a game that didn’t see either

team take more than an four-point lead in any of the overtime periods, the Magic went ahead 125-122 in the third OT on a 3-pointer by Harris. But Chicago kept chipping away, and eventually took the lead for good, 126-125, on a jumper by Tony Snell. The Bulls had a 119-116 lead in the second overtime on a tip-in by Noah. After several empty possessions on both ends, Davis tied it on a straightway 3 with just 4.2 seconds left.

Tony Stewart, who suffered a badly broken leg in a sprint car crash at an Iowa dirt track last August, was back at work last week in Florida. No, he wasn’t behind the wheel of his No. 14 Chevrolet. Mark Martin was on hand for testing at Daytona International Speedway as Stewart won’t be cleared to race for another four weeks. But Stewart was working — at a sponsor appearance in Jacksonville, Fla. — and at the track, meeting with fans and the media. He still walks with a noticeable limp, but he seemed in good spirits and conﬁdent that he’ll be ready to race in the Sprint Unlimited on Feb. 15 and in the Daytona 500 on Feb. 23. Stewart, who isn’t expected to be cleared to race by his doctors until Feb. 14, said he appreciated the support he’s gotten from fans during his rehabilitation. “The great thing is — our fans don’t stop just because we stopped racing,” he said, adding that the fans he met the night before in north Florida drew a good crowd of enthusiastic supporters. “It was exciting to see how excited they were of our progress. “It’s like little victories, like getting off of crutches and walking on our own again. That’s something the fans picked up on, and that was like a victory to them. It’s been pretty cool. It’s not just been a personal thing every day when I get up, it’s knowing that everybody is following what we’re doing, and when we have these little personal victories, accomplishments of getting healed back up, it’s much broader than just what’s going on with me, it’s affecting a lot more people.” Stewart said his time being laid up did give him a chance to think about things he wanted to do — a bucket list — once he got back behind the wheel of a race car. (He has been driving street cars for more than a month.) High on that list is a victory in the Daytona 500, one of the few major trophies that he hasn’t been able to win. “February here is high on that bucket list,” he said. “We haven’t won here yet. We’ve won [at Daytona], just not on the right day.” Stewart has 19 overall victories at Day-

struggled against the tough Saint defense and struggled to recover in the second half. The Patriot defense picked up in the fourth quarter, not allowing any Saints to score. Brooke-destinee Lockwood led the Patriots in scoring with 13 points. Hannah McAfee scored two points and Kyrsten Butler had one point. The eighth-grade team beat St. Vincent, 38-25. The Patriots came out firing and never looked back. Selfless play and tough defense made the Patriots a fierce opponent. Leigha Brown led all scorers with 19 points. Allison Marlowe added seven points, Madison Ring scored six points, and MaKenzie Dale and Lexy Stuckey scored two points each.

Tony Stewart, who should be cleared to race in a few weeks, speaks to the media at NASCAR Preseason Thunder at Daytona. tona: three in the Sprint Unlimited; two in IROC; three in the Budweiser Duel; seven in the season-opening Nationwide Series race, the Drive4COPD 300; and four in the Coke Zero 400. “The second Sunday (Daytona 500) would be nice,” he said. “That’s all that’s on the bucket list right now.” The down time also has allowed Stewart to reflect on the races he has won over the years, both in NASCAR and elsewhere. “I had a lot of spare time that I wasn’t used to, and just whether it was visitors coming and talking or telling stories, there’s a lot of things that even through the last couple weeks when I was home, seeing people that I haven’t seen for a long time and hearing stories, it’s pretty cool to finally have time a little bit to reflect back on what we’ve done in our career,” he said, adding that he doesn’t like to dwell too much on the past. “It’s like I told them at the end of every conversation, I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s just that chapter. We’re

still building chapters down the road.’ “It’s neat to talk about what we did in the past, but I’m excited to talk about what hopefully we can do in the future now.” And he said that even with his injury, he’s expecting to be in good enough shape to win the 500. “Physically, I’m not going to feel 100 percent, but I’ll be able to do my job 100 percent, so that’s the main thing,” he said. And he feels like Daytona is a good place for a comeback. “Luckily, this is a smooth race track,” he said. “It’s not rough and bumpy. If it were Dover, I would be a lot more concerned. But the hard part with here is with your throttle — with your right leg — you’re on the gas so long. “That’s the only thing we’re worried about right now, just because we just don’t know until we get in a car and actually run, and we’re not going to know that until the day before.”

The start of the 2014 Sprint Cup season means that a record-tying seventh Cup championship is within reach of six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson. A title this year would tie him with legends Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt. Johnson said the possibility will be on his mind as the season rolls along. “I haven’t put much thought into it, but if the opportunity is there in front of us and we get deep in the Chase and have a shot at it, that reality is going to be hard to keep out of my mind,” he said. “[It’s an] amazing opportunity to have ahead of myself, and to have six company championships is something I’m extremely proud of. “If I was able to tie, I don’t know what it would mean or what that experience would feel like, but to be up there with those two legends would be top of the list. Pretty cool.”

Speedway.

Two of NASCAR’s next generation of race drivers bolted to the top of the speed charts during Preseason Thunder testing at Daytona International Speedway last week. Austin Dillon, driving a Chevrolet owned by his grandfather Richard Childress and carrying the No. 3 that hasn’t been used since Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash at Daytona in 2001, set the pace in Friday’s Sprint Cup practice session. Dillon, who also drove Chevrolets carrying the same No. 3 and in the same style of lettering in the Camping World Truck Series and in the Nationwide Series, ran a best lap of 195.109 miles per hour in a test session that was cut from two days to one because of rain. In Saturday’s opening practice for the Nationwide Series, 18-year-old Chase Elliott, driving a Chevrolet carrying the same No. 9 his father, Bill Elliott, made famous, used a drafting push from his 58-year-old father to top the Nationwide speed charts. Driving a NAPA Auto Parts-sponsored Chevrolet ﬁelded by JR Motorsports, Elliott ran a lap at 187.993 miles per hour. Bill Elliott, driving the No. 5 Chevy that Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive at Daytona, was second fastest, at 187.974 mph. The third JR Motorsports driver, Regan Smith, was third fastest, at 187.950 mph. In Sunday’s test session, Elliott was second-fastest behind Dylan Kwasniewski, who was driving the No. 31 Chevrolet for Turner Scott Motorsports. Dillon, 23, seems to have a deep appreciation for the history of the sport and the legend of the No. 3, which also was used by Childress in his driving days. He even dresses in cowboy boots and hats, much like many a driver in the early days of the sport. “I’m honored to be in the 3,” he said. “This is special, and walking into this Cup garage is pretty cool. There are so many heroes in this garage for me, and just being in this garage is going to be pressure.” And he said he felt like he was up to the challenge of driving an iconic car in a tough Cup series.

Preseason Thunder at Daytona sees record test speeds and major announcements

Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet ran a best lap of 195.109 mph during Preseason Thunder testing at Daytona. “I feel like we’ve taken our time coming up through the Truck Series, the Nationwide Series and done what we needed to do to get experience,” he said. “I’m thankful for my grandfather, my dad and everybody at RCR for letting me take the time. Not everybody has the opportunity to grow and to get experience, so that’s one great thing. “I feel now we’re going in the Cup Series prepared. We have a great team with a lot of experience. I feel like we’re ready for a good Cup season.” Another big story from Preseason Thunder was the news that Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s crew chief, Steve Letarte, would be leaving the pit box at the end of 2014 to take a job as a commentator for NBC, which is returning to NASCAR in 2015. Earnhardt said that while he was stunned by the idea initially, he’s gotten used to it by now and does not look on 2014 as a lame-duck season for Letarte as a crew chief. “I had a pretty good understanding what his decision was

going to be when I left Homestead [last November],” he said. “I’ve had time to really wrap my brain around it. It was hard because we are such good friends, and I really do enjoy working with him a lot. But at the same time, I’m happy for him because it gives him the opportunity to spend time with his family. It’s something that’s really important to him.” Earnhardt also said he feels good about his team’s upcoming season. “I know that [Letarte] is really good at separating things and keeping things compartmentalized,” he said. “I know that we’re going to be fine as far as how we’ll compete this year and how we might move through the process of the season. I expect us to do nothing less than improve on what we’ve been doing and steadily keep moving toward our goals. “But it’s definitely going to be emotional and difficult at times, just because we really enjoy working together. Steve is a great crew chief that’s going to get us a good opportunity to try to win some races.” For Letarte, the bottom line in his decision is that NBC offered him a job that will allow him to not only remain in the company of his garage-area friends, but also spend more time with his family back at home. “When it comes down to it, probably the No. 1 thing is I have an 8- and a 10-year-old child, and I know the commitment it takes to be a top-level crew chief,” he said. “I don’t know firsthand the commitment that it takes to be great on television, but I don’t think it’s quite the same time commitment and travel commitment. “I’ve always said, I don’t think I’ve ever hidden it from anyone, that my family has always been my No. 1 priority, and it comes down to if I’m going to be unsuccessful in anything I do, being a father shouldn’t be on the list, so I’m going to put that one first.” Team owner Rick Hendrick said in a statement that he’s not going to work on finding a new crew chief for Earnhardt until later this year.

Many worthwhile walks to gyms this week The walk across the fields to our other favorite barns will be much more enjoyable than they were last week. To leave home for a stroll last week was just sheer crazy. An old bovine with a nice coat has her limits. Also, we have some places to go that will actually be open for business. Thank goodness. And business will pick up later this week with semifinals and finals basketball action from the Northeast Corner Conference and the Allen County Athletic Conference tournaments. Both Garrett cage squads could leave the ACAC on a very good note at the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum. There are plenty of solid teams in the NECC. Some of them won’t even get to Friday’s night semifinals. That’s too bad.

Draws can be as brutal as a rough shooting night. Life is not fair. It’s like that when the KPC Media Group sports dweebs go up against me in our picks contest for office bragging rights.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Zimmer to lead Vikings MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Zimmer is finally a head coach in the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings think now is the time for the veteran defensive coordinator. The Vikings have hired Zimmer for their top coaching job, according to a person with knowledge of the process who spoke Wednesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because Zimmer’s contract had not been completed and the team had not announced the hiring. News of the decision emerged early in the day, but the Vikings held off on publicizing it at all. Their silence was strange, considering a report by ESPN that they had already requested and received permission from Cleveland to interview offensive coordinator Norv Turner for the same position in Minnesota. The top headline on the team website touted an area winner in the annual NFL Punt, Pass & Kick contest. That doesn’t mean the Vikings weren’t delighted about the ninth head coach in their 54-year history. Tight end Kyle Rudolph, center John Sullivan and defensive end Brian Robison were among the players who expressed excitement about the former Bengals assistant via their Twitter accounts. For the Bengals, the news was bittersweet. Zimmer, who has been an NFL defensive coordinator for the last 14 seasons, spent six of those with Cincinnati. The Bengals were third in the league in yards allowed and fifth in points against this season, though they lost in the first round of the playoffs for the third straight year. Zimmer replaces Leslie Frazier, another former Bengals defensive coordinator who was fired Dec. 30 after the team finished 5-10-1 this season. General manager Rick Spielman interviewed at least seven candidates. He and Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf settled on the one who was widely considered around the league to be the most overdue for a head coaching job. Zimmer has interviewed for several vacancies in recent years, including this month with Tennessee.

Kershaw, Dodgers make a deal LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pitcher Clayton Kershaw agreed Wednesday to a $215 million, seven-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press, a deal that makes the two-time Cy Young Award winner baseball’s first player with a $30 million average salary. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not yet been announced. Kershaw receives the most lucrative deal for a pitcher, breaking the mark of $180 million set by Justin Verlander last March for his seven-year contract with Detroit. Kershaw would have been eligible for free agency after the upcoming season if the new deal hadn’t been reached. He was eligible for salary arbitration, and those figures were set to be exchanged on Friday. He was coming off a two-year, $20 million deal that included $200,000 in bonuses in 2012, a $500,000 escalator to his 2013 base salary, and $300,000 in bonuses last year. General manager Ned Colletti said last week that both sides had been negotiating. “It’s our desire to sign him here for a very long time,” Colletti said. The average salary of $30.7 million tops the previous high of $27.5 million, set by the New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez as part of a 10-year agreement December 2007. While Roger Clemens had a contract with a listed salary of $28 million with the Yankees in 2007, he joined the team in June and actually made $17.4 million. The Dodgers had baseball’s secondhighest payroll at the end of the regular season last fall — more than $236 million.

McAulay to referee Super Bowl NEW YORK (AP) — Terry McAulay will be the referee at the Super Bowl, marking the third time he has worked the NFL title game. The rest of his seven-man crew on Feb. 2 will be umpire Carl Paganelli, head linesman Jim Mello, line judge Tom Symonette, field judge Scott Steenson, side judge Dave Wyant and back judge Steve Freeman. McAulay is in his 16th season as an NFL official. He started in 1998 as a side judge and became a refereee in 2001. He worked the Super Bowl in 2005, won by New England over Philadelphia, as well as Pittsburgh’s win over Arizona in the 2009 game. Paganelli has worked three previous Super Bowls, including McAulay’s first one. Steenson will be in his second title game.

MLBPA: Alex Rodriguez sought ‘extraordinary remedies’ NEW YORK (AP) — A Major League Baseball Players Association lawyer says Alex Rodriguez wanted the union to pursue “extraordinary remedies” outside of arbitration to stop attempts to discipline the New York Yankees third baseman. Attorney Daniel Engelstein made the comment Wednesday as he urged that two Rodriguez lawsuits in Manhattan federal court be combined into a single case. The court did not immediately decide. Engelstein said Rodriguez accused the MLBPA of acting arbitrarily “by not complying with Mr. Rodriguez’s demands that the union pursue extraordinary remedies outside of the arbitration process to ‘stand up’ to MLB and to stop it from acting in a manner Mr. Rodriguez characterized as improper.”

Perhaps the most important proposals involve some of Indiana’s upland birds. The first suspends ruffed grouse season statewide. Welcome to the party, IDNR. Conservationists and concerned hunters have been calling for this for a decade. It may be too little, too late, but it won’t hurt to try and save what is left of them. The proposals also decrease the limit of quail, but only on DNR owned or managed properties. I am a solid buyer on this move, but think it needs to acknowledge the decline of quail statewide and not just on public ground. Like the grouse rule, the rule should apply to private land as well. There are several rules proposed for our fisheries as well. One rule increases the size limit for muskies on three lakes from 36 to 44 inches. That is a great move that will be applauded by muskie fishermen on Webster and Kiser lakes. Many of us would love to see a couple muskie lakes simply designated as strict catch and release, but we will take what we can get. Another rule establishes a 16-inch size limit for walleyes north of S.R. 26 versus the old 14-inch standard. It is good to see the DNR micromanage the fishery a little more, but a slot limit would have been more productive. When there is a simple size limit, most of the fish eventually fall a half-inch below it, regard-

DON MULLIGAN

Mulligan likes new size limits on northern walleyes but thinks slot limits

less of the number. A slot only allows fish from 16 to 22 inches, for example, to be harvested. The result of a slot system is more trophy fish to catch and release. In other states, slots also leave more breeding female walleyes to replenish the fishery. It has been long debated if walleyes reproduce in any Indiana waters, or whether every Hoosier walleye is a stocked fish. I am a fan of the new

are a better idea on some waterways.

25-fish limit for sunfish statewide. It will limit the decimation of them in the spring when they are on the beds and most vulnerable to selfish anglers who take more than their share. The new catfish rules are spectacular and long overdue. Most importantly, the new rules “allow not more than one flathead and one blue catfish to be taken per day that is 35 inches or longer in lakes and streams statewide.”

This slows the overharvest of big, old catfish in the Ohio River and other places by commercial fishermen and pay lakes. A few individuals have been fighting the IDNR for years to make this happen.

Initiative aims to get everyone involved in conservation Dear EarthTalk: What is the Obama administration’s America’s Great Outdoors initiative and what does it hope to accomplish? — Doug St. James, New York, NY President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum in April 2010 establishing the America’s Great Outdoors Initiative to promote and support innovative community-level efforts to conserve outdoor spaces and reconnect Americans to the outdoors. The memorandum calls for collaboration among the Departments of Interior and Agriculture as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and the White House’s own Council on Environmental Quality in leading the initiative. Eight other federal agencies play a supporting role — and literally thousands of other partners from state, local and tribal governments,

non-profits and the private sector are involved as well. Getting young people, especially city kids, into the outdoors to experience our country’s unique natural heritage is a top priority of America’s Great Outdoors. Before pursuing any specific strategies, initiative leaders solicited feedback from everyday Americans as to what mattered most to them regarding conservation and access to the outdoors. Some 105,000 written comments and many more spoken ones from “listening sessions” held coast to coast streamed in and were crucial to the development of programs. Public feedback continues to shape the initiative’s agenda. Some of the programs that fall under the umbrella of America’s Great Outdoors include: the Veterans Fire Corps, which employs veterans in forest fire management; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s program providing technical training and work opportunities for underserved youth in habitat restoration and fisheries monitoring; and the establishment of a new network of “water trails” coast to coast to increase everyone’s access to the outdoors. America’s Great Outdoors was in the news recently when Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced the launch of 21st Century Conservation Service Corps as part of the program. “21CSC,” as Jewell calls it, aims to be a modern incarnation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) that President Franklin Roosevelt used to help put Americans back to work during the Great Depression. Jewell envisions a 100,000 person strong “CCC 2.0” that

will provide opportunities for thousands of young Americans — 6.7 million of whom are currently unemployed or not in school — and veterans transitioning back to civilian life to serve their country, feel proud of what they are accomplishing and improve their own lives and the lives of others around them. Part of what makes America’s Great Outdoors unique is that partners from every sector of American society — not just the federal government — are encouraged to help. 21CSC is partially funded by a $1 million dollar donation from clothing retailer American Eagle Outfitters, and Jewell is in search of another $19 million from other private sector partners to turn the program into a potent force for reducing youth and veteran unemployment while giving our endangered lands and waterways some much-needed attention. Environmentalists may be disappointed that the Obama administration hasn’t been able to muscle through mandatory greenhouse gas emissions cuts and put sustainability concerns at the forefront of the policymaking process, but getting unprecedented numbers of Americans involved in conservation projects that protect the nation’s treasured natural heritage is a worthy conservation legacy in its own right. The program is sure to positively impact generations of Americans for decades to come. EARTHTALK is written and

What Others Say •

Stiffer penalties for abhorrent crimes The term “home invasion” is especially distasteful because of the heinous crimes it can entail. One’s home is supposed to be safe, secure and protective — a refuge from the often mean world around us. A home invasion changes that balance, corrupts that safety zone, violates that privacy, destroys that trust. Home invasion can — and often The premise is that does — involve violence, sexual attack, robbery and intimidation. when criminals resort to It can end in terrible injury, death, firearms in committing rape, inhumanity and other deviate conduct. Its victims are never the any crime, they deserve same again. Such home invasions have more punishment. happened sporadically in the Wabash Valley, and they have been occurring disturbingly frequently in our capital city and its suburbs. Most recently, a mother and her daughter were beaten to death in their home in Westfield, just north of Indianapolis near Carmel. Not long before that, another mother and her daughter were beaten, robbed and sexually assaulted in one of Indianapolis’ better neighborhoods. In both cases, men suspected of having committed those egregious crimes have been apprehended and charged. The popular sentiment is that, if found guilty, those men should be severely punished for the pain, suffering and inhumane indignity they perpetrated on their victims. Among the hundreds of proposed laws that will be introduced in the 2014 Indiana General Assembly … is a bill that would significantly increase the penalty when firearms are used to commit violent crimes. The premise is that when criminals resort to firearms in committing any crime, they deserve more punishment. The proponent is State Sen. Jim Merritt, a Republican from Indianapolis with more than 20 years in the state Senate, who is reflecting his constituents’ fears about home invasions — fears, he has said, that lead some to answer a knock at the door with a locked-and-loaded firearm, as is a homeowner’s right. Under current law, Indiana courts can add five years to a sentence for someone who used a firearm while committing a crime. That’s too little and too indefinite for Merritt. He will be pushing a bill that, if passed, would extend that additional sentence from five years to a 20-year minimum. He also wants to change can to must — to make the additional 20 years mandatory. That would, of course, extend well beyond home invasions to other instances of violent crime such as murder, robbery, abduction and injury. But the recent home invasion offenses so well illustrate the need. They so offend all decent people’s sensitivities that the point is made clear that our courts need a stronger penalty, which we can only hope would be a stronger deterrent to indecent people who would so devalue human life that they would commit such crimes. We hope Merritt’s bill gets approval from both houses of the legislature and an enthusiastic signature from Gov. Mike Pence so that its provisions can begin to give more muscle to laws against acts we all abhor.

No-win proposition with marriage amendment Social engineering can be a messy business, as Republicans in the Indiana Legislature are discovering. On Monday, a hearing will be conducted on a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Or rather, it bans same-sex marriage. Momentum against HJR3, the amendment banning gay marriage, has been building. The state’s leading (and high-tech) industries, Cummins Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co, have come out against it, plus most of the state’s universities and the mayors of major cities. That includes Republicans and Democrats. The amendment has become almost an embarrassment for the state and the Republican Party, as well it should. It’s also spurred much confusion. How else to explain why Republicans introduced a “companion” bill to the amendment, HB1153, that states the amendment is not intended to deny employer health benefits to same-sex couples or circumvent local ordinances that forbid discrimination. Huh? Any fifth-grader knows that legislative bodies enact laws and the courts interpret them. HB1153 is an attempt to usurp the power of the courts by defining what the amendment really means. The Republicans want it both ways in this marriage business. They want to dictate their own version of what they believe is morally right, but also appear to cater to business interests, individual freedom and be a party of less intrusive government. They fail on all accounts with the marriage amendment. Business must hire and retain the best and brightest workers, and some of them will be gay or lesbian. Good luck trying to get those workers to relocate or stay in a state that enshrines discrimination and hate in its constitution. No doubt there are some within the Republican ranks who would like this marriage amendment to go away. It’s divisive and it detracts from real issues the legislature needs to address, such as education, the economy, health and infrastructure. That sentiment is opposed by those who want Hoosier voters to decide the issue. Should HJR3 pass the legislature again, it will go to the voters this November. But on the path to election day, Hoosiers can expect an unrelenting blitz of advertisements pro and con, and many of them catering to fear mongering and the spread of disinformation. Republicans in the Statehouse need to face the fact this amendment will yield no winners, but it will extract a steep price. The Star Press, Muncie

Rooftop thieves armed with aluminum foil Retailers, watch out for thieves armed with aluminum foil climbing on your roofs. They’re not making repairs or following ET and phoning home. The FBI is circulating this warning. It never ceases to amaze me how clever thieves can be when it comes to finding ways to steal money or merchandise. This is a new one. According to the FBI, thieves INSIDE have used a convoluted scheme COMMENT to steal electronics and cigarettes from gas stations and other stores in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Dennis Nartker Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Here’s how the scheme works. First, someone climbs onto the roof of a store and uses aluminum foil to block the satellite antenna that the store uses to reserve data from credit card companies to authorize sales. With the signal blocked, stores can’t validate credit and debit card transactions. Bandits enter the store, load up with electronics or cigarettes and pay with stolen credit cards. Retailers often permit sales even if the link with the credit card company is down, figuring the transactions will go through once the connection is back up. The thieves are long gone by the time a store realizes its satellite receiver has been wrapped up like a plate of leftover meatloaf. When sales are finally sent to the processor, they’re denied because the card was stolen, leaving the store on the hook for the losses. Two people were arrested in West Virginia in October trying to pull off the scheme. The pair were linked to more than 600 stolen cards and had more than $10,000 worth of cigarettes and electronics in one of their vehicles. The FBI recommends retailers consider

•

installing extra physical measures such as closed circuit TVs to keep thieves away from their antennas. Retailers can also climb onto the roofs and inspect their satellite antennas before approving big-ticket sales.

IRS and ID thieves While on the subject of federal government agencies, how about the billions of dollars in Internal Revenue Service refunds lost to ID thieves? The IRS issued $4 billion in fraudulent tax refunds in 2012 to people using stolen identities, with some of the money going to addresses in Bulgaria, Lithuania and Ireland, according to an inspector general’s report released in November. The IRS sent a total of 655 tax refunds to a single address in Lithuania and 343 refunds went to a lone address in Shanghai. In the U.S., more fraudulent refunds went to Miami than any other city. Other top destinations were Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Houston. Thieves often steal Social Security numbers from people who don’t have to file tax returns, including the young, the old and people who have died. They use Social Security numbers to file fraudulent tax returns before the legitimate taxpayer files. The IRS, which takes pride in issuing quick refunds, often sends them out before employers are required to file forms documenting wages, according to the report. In 2012 the IRS issued 1.1 million refunds to people using stolen Social Security numbers. Those refunds totaled $3.6 billion. Ho. Hum. Was anyone upset about this revelation? Did you see the story on the network TV news or the front pages of newspapers? Have we become immune to the haphazard way our federal government operates?

Take boyfriend on get-away weekend DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing a guy, “Karl,” for eight months now, and we have never had sex. After two or three months, I brought up the subject. He said he was stressed because he had just lost his job. He also said there is never any privacy at his place because he has roommates/tenants. I offered to go to my place, but he said that with my son there, it’s the same issue. Karl says he’s very attracted to me, but doesn’t want our “time” together to be ruined by his current money problems. I told him I understood and I have waited. I also explained that it makes me feel insecure and unwanted. He now has a job, but we still haven’t had sex. He has, in the interim, told me he loves me and wants to marry me. I constantly worry that there’s someone

Easy to find the milk that’s right for you little fat). I put 1 percent dairy milk on my morning cereal. To my taste, 1 percent is plenty creamy, but skim milk just isn’t creamy enough.

• Dairy milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which promote bone health. Many dairy milk products are also fortified with other vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A and phosphorus. (Non-dairy milks that are fortified can also be good sources of these vitamins and minerals.) The more butterfat, the higher the calories, total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. • Soy milk is almost identical to dairy milk in its nutritional content. Most brands have moderate amounts of fat, which make them similar in calories to lowfat (1 percent) dairy milk. Soy milk is also fortified with vitamin D, vitamin A and calcium. Soy milks are much higher in protein than other non-dairy milks. This is an important difference for vegetarians and vegans who are trying to meet their protein needs. • Nut milks come in varieties such as almond, walnut or hazelnut. They are

DEAR DOCTOR K: I hear that dairy milk, which I’ve been drinking all my life, may not be healthy. Should I switch from dairy milk to a different kind? DEAR READER: When I was a kid, every mother (surely including mine) believed that dairy milk was healthy. Television commercials called dairy milk “nature’s most perfect food” and intoned “you never outgrow your need for milk.” I think I remember hearing that every time I watched Davy Crockett on television. (Yes, I know that dates me.) In the decades since then, we’ve learned that saturated fats in the diet raise blood cholesterol levels — and that, in turn, increases the risk of heart disease and strokes. Dairy milk has a little more than 3 percent butterfat, much of it saturated fat. That’s why over the past 30 years, grocery stores have started to carry reduced-butterfat dairy milk: 2 percent fat, 1 percent fat and skim milk (very

lactose-, soy- and gluten-free. The unsweetened versions are also lower in calories than other milks. However, they provide much less protein than dairy and soy milks. • Coconut milk. One cup of a coconut-milk beverage has the same number of calories as a cup of skim milk. But coconut milk is much higher in fat, especially saturated fat. • Grain and seed milks. Rice, oat and quinoa milks are examples of grain and seed milks. They have higher total carbohydrate and sugar contents. The rarer seed milks, such as hemp, sunflower and sesame seed, have the highest fat content of all the alternatives.

Shooter warned some students Helmet camera shows rescuers saw girl at crash ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — The 12-year-old boy who opened fire in a New Mexico middle school gym warned some students away just before the attack, State Police Chief Pete Kassetas said Wednesday. Kassetas said the attack at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell was planned in advance. But he said it appeared the boy’s victims — an 11-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl — were chosen randomly. During a Wednesday press briefing, Kassetas declined to speculate on a motive or say when charges would be filed. But he said the boy got the sawed-off shotgun from his family’s home and had three rounds of ammunition. “All three rounds were expended during the incident,” Kassetas said. “There was no indication that he had any ammunition other than what was loaded in the gun.” Officials said Wednesday the 11-year-old boy who was shot in the face and neck remains in critical condition at University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas. The 13-year-old girl is in satisfactory condition with injuries to the right shoulder. Kassetas said investigators worked through the night executing search warrants at the school, and determined from those searches that the attack was planned. They examined the boy’s locker and the duffel bag the seventh-grader used to transport the 20-gauge pump shotgun to school. Kassetas said the handle of the gun was sawed off

so it had “more of a pistol grip.” The police chief added authorities had some indication that the boy verbally warned “select students” about the attack as he arrived at the school. He didn’t elaborate. When the shots first rang out in the school’s gym, some students started laughing, assuming it was just another drill. It wasn’t. But those emergency exercises that students and teachers have undergone regularly for the past two years were being credited Wednesday with the quick disarming of the suspect.

Officials and witnesses say a 12-yearold boy drew a shotgun from a band-instrument case and shot two classmates at his Roswell school before a teacher talked him into dropping the weapon.

The whole thing was over in 10 seconds, police say, thanks to John Masterson, an eighth-grade social studies teacher who stepped in and talked the boy into dropping his weapon. Masterson then held the boy until authorities arrived. “He stood there and allowed the gun to be pointed right at him so there would be no more young kids hurt,” Gov. Susana Martinez told 1,500 or so people at a prayer vigil late Tuesday. Others teachers scurried to lock kids in classrooms while students in the gym where the shooting took

place dove under bleachers and took cover, said Andrea Leon, a 13-year-old eighth grader at the school. Leon says she was walking toward the gym, where students gather before class, when she heard the gun shots. She said she knew they were real, “but some people were laughing because they thought it was fake.” “I guess they had been through many drills,” she said. Roswell Superintendent Tom Burris said the staff and students had participated in active shooter training and responded appropriately.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Video from a firefighter’s helmet camera following the crash landing of an Asiana Airlines flight in San Francisco shows rescuers were aware there was someone on the ground outside the plane, before she was fatally run over by a fire truck. CBS News first aired parts of the footage showing the chaotic aftermath of the July 6 crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport on Tuesday night. CBS said it obtained it from a person close to the family of the girl who was killed, 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan. Fifteen minutes after the driver of a fire truck was alerted to where she was, the video shows that same truck running over her, according to CBS, though footage of her being run over was not aired in CBS News’s broadcast. The helmet camera shows another truck driving over her minutes after that, according to CBS News. The San Mateo County Coroner has confirmed that Yuan was killed by a fire truck. The San Francisco Chronicle first reported on the video’s content. It’s still unknown how Yuan got out of the plane. Interviews for an ongoing National Traffic Safety Board investigation found Yuan was covered

An Asiana Airlines 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan, was alive, but later run over and killed by a fire truck after a crash landing in San Francisco last July.

with foam and struck twice. “At least five firefighters knew of her presence before she was covered in foam, nobody examined her, nobody touched her, nobody protected her, moved her or did anything to take her out of harm’s way and then they abandoned her there,” said Anthony Tarricone, an attorney for Yuan’s family. San Francisco fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said on Wednesday she could not comment on the video because of the pending litigation.
