GOOD MORNING Freight train kills man in wheelchair BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — A man in a wheelchair was killed Tuesday when he was struck by a train at the Main Street railroad crossing. At about 5:18 p.m., police and fire units and Noble County EMS ambulance were called to the Norfolk Southern crossing to investigate a report of a person struck by a train. The freight train was traveling westbound and the wheelchair-bound man was heading northbound on the sidewalk on the west side of Main Street, according to Police Chief Rob Wiley. Witnesses told police the railway crossing gates were down across traffic lanes, red lights were flashing and a warning bell was ringing, indicating an approaching train. The man began to cross and was struck and killed by the train. His body landed along the north side of the tracks, just west of the Kendallville Pawn Shop. The train stopped, blocking the Main Street and Riley Street crossings for hours. Police cordoned off the area with crime scene tape and directed traffic to the Park Avenue crossing. Wiley said the train’s engine had a video camera and the video of the mishap may help investigators determined what happened. The Noble County coroner arrived at the scene about 6:30 p.m. to conduct an investigation.

Murder suspect claims self-defense BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — The suspect in a Saturday-night stabbing murder ripped off his shirt and “pumped himself up” before allegedly stabbing another man to death, said witnesses from the scene. Kenny Rogers Fletcher, 41, Angola, was formally charged with murder Tuesday afternoon via videoconferencing equipment between the Steuben County Jail and Steuben Magistrate Court. A
preliminary plea of not guilty was entered in his behalf, and a pretrial conference was set for Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. in Steuben Circuit Court. A jury trial is scheduled for March 3. He will be represented by public defender Robert Hardy. Judge Randy Coffey ordered Fletcher held without bail. He turned himself in Monday evening at the Steuben County Jail after being sought for two days by police. Fletcher is accused of stabbing
39-year-old Wilbur D. Renshaw, Angola, multiple times with a knife, causing his death. Murder is a felony punishable by 45 to 65 years in prison. “I was trying to protect my son. How is that Fletcher murder?” Fletcher said after the charge was read. He said the killing was in self-defense.
“He came to my house. Is that murder?” Fletcher said. Angola Detective Sgt. Tim Crooks testified at the hearing at the request of Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Musser. He said he spoke to two witnesses who saw Fletcher in an agitated state in the parking lot of Washington Square Apartments, 408 N. Washington St., Angola. Fletcher lives in apartment 10 with his girlfriend. SEE MURDER, PAGE A6
Senate trying again AARON ORGAN
Andy Hipskind, left, and Rory Minnich with Three Rivers Barricade install a new sign alerting drivers to an approaching stop sign along Indiana Avenue near the intersection
with Fourteenth Street on Monday. The city is replacing all traffic-regulation and street-name signs.
New street signs bigger, brighter BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — A sweeping replacement of street-name and traffic signs around the city is nearly finished, city officials said Thursday. A federally mandated project to replace all signs with upgraded, highly reflective signs should be complete by Friday, Auburn street superintendent Bill Brandon said. Crews began the project to replace the city’s more than 2,400 signs last month. The federal government required a couple years back that all municipalities upgrade their street markings to highly reflective signs. Auburn city engineer Steve Bruns said the city jumped into the project ahead of most communii-
ties, and he hopes the upgrade will allow Auburn to implement more regular replacement of signs in the future. Brandon said the signs and their reflective material have a lifespan of around a decade. In addition to the reflectivity of the signs, the new street-name signs are larger. Brandon said the signs have grown from 6 inches to 9 inches tall, and now feature 6-inch letters, up from 4 inches on old signs. “So they are more visible, even driving down the street in the daylight,” said Brandon. “That’s a big plus.” The signage upgrade program is 90 percent federally funded, with local governments picking up the remaining 10 percent of the
cost. In Auburn’s case, the federal government covered $225,900 of the project’s cost. The city’s match was $25,100. The project initially was estimated to cost $251,000, Bruns said. With the project, the city will remove more than 20 “Slow — children at play” signs from around the city. Brandon said the signs — commonly placed in residential areas with children — are not recognized by the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices system. The city is pulling them because, according to a memo from the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, they “cause confusion among pedestrians and vehicle operators, prompt wrong decisions, and can contribute to accidents.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Time growing desperately short, Senate leaders took command of efforts to avert a Treasury default and end the partial government shutdown Tuesday night after a last big attempt by House Republicans abruptly collapsed. Aides to both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, expressed revived optimism about chances for a swift agreement — by Wednesday at the latest — that could pass both houses. Their efforts toward a bipartisan resolution had seemed likely to bear fruit a day earlier before House conservative were given a last-minute chance for their version. As hours ticked down toward Thursday’s Treasury deadline, the likeliest compromise included renewed authority for the Treasury to borrow through early February and the government to reopen at least until mid-January. While a day of secret meetings and frenzied maneuvering unfolded in all corners of the Capitol, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., stood on the Senate floor at midafternoon and declared, “We are 33 hours away from becoming a deadbeat nation, not paying its bills to its own people and other creditors.” In New York, the stock market dropped and the Fitch rating agency warned that it was reviewing the government’s AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade, though no action was SEE SENATE, PAGE A6
Obama-as-Hitler sign draws strong reactions BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — The owner of a controversial sign that carried an image linking President Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler said Tuesday the image has been removed from a Kendallville shopping center — not because of the controversy over the image, but because it was scheduled to come down. The image and a related message from LaRouchePAC. com actually was scheduled to be up only Saturday and Sunday, but was left up a day too long, said Roger Diehm, owner of Cornerstone Plaza at U.S. 6 and S.R. 3. Of the sign’s Obama message, Diehm said, “It’s been such a great thing for me.” The plaza’s video sign featured an illustration of Barack Obama with a Hitler-style mustache followed by the words “IMPEACH” and “OBAMA” on Monday. The message was supposed to be shown only as long as LaRouche PAC, a political action committee for controversial politician Lyndon LaRouche, was in town for the weekend passing out literature, Diehm said. The image prompted contro-
versy, especially since it was paired with a “Welcome to Kendallville” message in the video rotation and was shown above signs for businesses located in Cornerstone. Some business owners within the plaza weren’t pleased with the sign, in part because people associated it with them. “You would think that the public would realize that the businesses that occupy Cornerstone Plaza are not responsible for what the scrolling sign says, unless they themselves pay for a spot advertising on the board,” said Karen Holbrook, co-owner of Dude’s Dairy Treat in Cornerstone. “Most business owners would not stoop to such antics, whether they are political, racial, religious, gender or otherwise, as our very existence depends on each and every customer that walks through the door, regardless of their preference,” Holbrook said. “The sign depicting what it does not only makes the plaza businesses look bad, but the whole city of Kendallville as well,” Holbrook said. “It’s highly inappropriate, and regardless of how the people feel about the president, he and his office
deserve respect.” Holbrook said Congress has to be considered when thinking about the nation’s problems. “Remember, there are also 435 Representatives and 100 Senators in Washington who make decisions for us (or supposedly do) and what does that say about how we voted?” she said. Carolyn Castel of CVS/ pharmacy said in an email that the company does not support the message of the Obama display. “CVS/pharmacy is not affiliated with the picture of President Obama that appears in the Cornerstone Plaza store signage, nor do we support the message,” Castel said. “This is a paid advertisement, and we have reached out to express our concerns to the landlord about the inappropriateness of this advertisement. “We apologize for any inconvenience or disturbance that this may have caused our customers,” Castel said. “We’re not happy that the image appeared on the same signage where our logo also happens to be placed,” said 3 Rivers Federal Credit Union strategic marketing manager Steve Levendoski, commenting by email.
“The sign ... not only makes the plaza businesses look bad, but the whole city of Kendallville as well.” Karen Holbrook Business co-owner
• “Like the other merchants who also share space on the sign, we received no advance notice and became aware only after it had been posted. We neither control nor have any input on the landlord’s signage,” Levendoski said. Diehm repeated his statement Monday saying the sign is for advertising. “The businesses in the shopping center don’t have anything to do with that sign,” Diehm said. It’s not only the Cornerstone business owners dealing with the Obama sign’s aftermath. The Obama-Hitler digital billboard at Cornerstone Plaza SEE OBAMA, PAGE A6

Parachute pants put local natives on ‘Today’ BY DAVE KURTZ dkurtz@kpcnews.net
NEW YORK — An outrageous pair of pants will bring national attention to a pair of DeKalb County natives Thursday morning. Sarah (Beaman) Placencia and her husband, Ed Placencia, of Lancaster, Pa., will appear on NBC’s “Today” show in a segment focused on what Sarah describes as her “awesome ’90s tie-dyed parachute pants.” As part of the show, Sarah expects she will have to part with her favorite Zumba pants in a wardrobe makeover. The unlikely chain of events started last week when “Today” asked viewers to nominate articles of clothing that their spouses “absolutely despise,” Sarah said. Sarah works as a Zumba instructor and personal trainer at a private studio in Lancaster. She immediately thought of her signature get-up and fired off an e-mail to NBC: “Well, it’s my husband that loathes my ’90s

• tie-dyed parachute pants. But I love them and I’m a Zumba instructor and Zumba encourages us to dress like crazy people. Besides, I’m kinda crazy … so what’s that say about him, after all he married me … and my pants :) the end.” Sarah sent a photo of herself wearing the pants to “Today,” which responded and asked for a brief video clip of Ed reacting to the outfit. No problem, since Ed works as an audio and video producer for a radio station in Lancaster. NBC quickly invited the couple to come to New York City for an episode the show calls “Closet
Confessions.” This morning, “Today” will send Sarah on a trip to Macy’s to pick out a different clothing outfit. Thursday morning, national television viewers will see Ed’s reaction to her new look. A high school friend, Hillary Patton, gave Sarah the soon-to-be-famous pants about seven years ago. Linda Campbell of Fort Wayne made the fashion relics when she owned a store more than 20 years ago, Sarah said. Her husband doesn’t mind the pants at home, she said, but “When I go out in public, he’ll say like, ‘What are you doing?’” Sarah, 29, an Auburn native and graduate of

Lakewood Park Christian School, said she and Ed, a Garrett native, are excited that their friends back home will be able to watch them on NBC. The couple have lived in Pennsylvania since 2007. “This is going to be a hoot,” said Sarah’s mother, Suzy Beaman of DeKalb County. The only downside for Sarah will be giving up her beloved pants. But all is not lost. She said Patton has assured her, “It’s OK, I think I can get you another pair.”
WATERLOO — Parents and supporters of DeKalb High School’s football players expressed their frustration about the team’s apparent lack of success during Tuesday’s DeKalb Central school board meeting. A group of about 25 people attended the meeting to share their concerns with the board, although only a handful spoke. The group was represented by Tony Baker, who is not the parent of a current football player. Baker said a lot of parents are afraid that if they speak out, they will risk retaliation. Baker began his conversation with the board by saying he wanted to talk about the high school athletic program and its current state. He then went
on to specifically address the football program. Over the past five years, DeKalb has won four football games, Baker said. In the past 10 years, the school has had one winning season. This year, the team has not recorded any wins. Baker said there is lack of community participation in the athletic program and asked why there no longer is a booster club. Baker said one parent was told by an administrator, “We just don’t have the right athletes.” “Why don’t we have the right athletes?” Baker asked. “Right now, this year, DeKalb football is considered the weakest program in the county. We got beat by Garrett, and Garrett got beat by Eastside.” Baker said coaching selection is a concern.
MY COMMUNITY
He said no one attending Tuesday’s meeting is faulting head coach Mike DeVos, but added that the position should not have been given to him. “He is just not ready,” Baker said. “He’s not the right experience level.” Baker suggested that a committee should be formed to assist with the selection of head coaches in the same way that the district has selected its last two principals. “The next head coach that is selected should have a demonstrated winning performance with the ability to build a program,” Baker said. “Maybe we should consider getting some professional help to improve our participation and success.” “We would just like to see performance improve,” Baker went on. “It’s getting

to be embarrassing to say that we are part of the school district.” The parent of a junior varsity player told the board the JV team has had to cancel two games because there were not enough players on the team. “We’re seeing crushed spirits,” said another parent. “There are 38 kids on the roster. It’s a losing program. The kids are being made fun of because they’re in the football program. Week after week after week, it’s just heartbreak and disappointment.” Board president Jay Baumgartner said the group’s comments were not “falling on deaf ears.” After the meeting, Superintendent Sherry Grate said she and high school Principal Kyle Kirby had met with Baker and listened to his concerns and

WATERLOO — One man was arrested after allegedly brandishing a knife during a physical altercation Monday evening in Waterloo. Christopher V. Jones, 32, of the 3400 block of U.S. 6, Waterloo, was booked into the DeKalb County Jail on a charge of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, a Class D felony. Tuesday at noon, Jones was still being held at the jail on $1,500 bond. According to a Waterloo Marshal’s Department report, officers were called to a fight at the Lighthouse Inn, 3454 U.S. 6, at 9:56 p.m. Waterloo officers Sgt. Jan Brady, Steve Brady and Zachary Moore discovered a man with facial injuries consistent with being the victim on a physical altercation. Jones is a resident at the Inn. When interviewed, Jones did not deny brandishing a folding knife during the course of an altercation with the alleged victim. He said he had done so out of frustration. No one was cut or stabbed by the knife.

Hamilton board approves school improvement plan BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
HAMILTON — The Hamilton Community Schools board on Monday approved updates to the district’s annual school improvement plans. The state requires school districts to create school improvement plans every three years, then apply updates to them annually. Superintendent Jon Willman explained that the district considered test data, school needs and the strengths and weaknesses of district students in the plan updates. The board approved updates of the improvement plans of both the elementary and junior-senior high schools. The board also heard the school’s official average daily membership count of students was 406 on the Sept. 13 count day. A district’s ADM count
Dying son slept during inmate’s visit BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — A jailed man’s dying son was unconscious for the man’s entire visit last week, the son’s mother said Tuesday. James Michael Miller, 39, of Kendallville was escorted in police custody to visit his dying son, Jerry Wilson, 23, of Kendallville Thursday, said Wilson’s mother and Miller’s wife, Barb Miller. Due to Wilson’s condition and the medications he is taking, he was sleeping for the entire 15 minutes his father was allowed in the room, Barb Miller said, adding, “Jerry wasn’t able to see him.” Wilson suffers from Niemann Pick disease, type C, a condition he’s had since birth, Barb Miller said, adding, “It affects your liver and spleen.” Type C of the illness affects a person in adulthood, Barb Miller said. Wilson’s condition has worsened recently, and he now has only a week at most to live, she said. James Miller was brought to the hospital in shackles, Barb Miller said. She said she was told the visit would be 30 minutes, but it lasted only 15 minutes before he was escorted away by Noble County Jail personnel.

Willman said the district’s total enrollment is actually around 435 students, which would be up four to five students from last school year. The numbers vary because kindergarten students are counted as half-students. In other business Monday, the board: • approved hiring Christy Howard as homebound instructor for 2.5 hours per week at a rate of $25 an hour. • accepted an intent to retire letter from John Stevens, a district English
teacher for 29 years. Stevens’ retirement will be effective June 30, 2014. • approved increasing the workload of speech teacher Brittany Hursh to 3.5 days per week for the remainder of the school year.
AUBURN — A residential petition to see stop signs placed on South Dewey Street at the intersection with Highland Drive to curb apparent speeding was presented to the Auburn Common Council Tuesday night for consideration. Resident Jess Myers presented the petition. A South Dewey Street resident, Myers told the council that after the street was rehabilitated this summer, neighbors have noticed an influx of high-speed traffic pouring from East Seventh Street south onto South Dewey Street past Highland Drive. “If they put grandstands up, it’d be a full-fledged race track,” said Myers, adding that motorists speed at all hours. Highland Drive has stop signs at the intersection with South Dewey Street. Adding stop signs on South Dewey Street would turn the intersection into a four-way stop. Mayor Norm Yoder told Myers the council would take the matter under consideration. In the meantime, Auburn Police Chief Martin McCoy pledged to assign “added attention” to the area. Also Tuesday, the council passed the city’s 2014 budget. At slightly under $14 million, the total budget
is less than 1 percent higher than the city’s 2013 version. It includes a general fund of $4.36 million, nearly half of which is dedicated to the city’s police department, as well as a $2.24 million fire protection territory fund, a $1.8 million motor vehicle highway fund and a $3 million Auburn Redevelopment Commission fund. Figured into the budget is an across-the-board $600 raise for each full-time employee, designed to ease the burden of a spike in insurance costs. The city budgeted for a tax rate of $1.3897 per $100 of assessed property value. No residents spoke at a public hearing on the budget. The council also passed an annual ordinance that sets the pay classifications and salary ranges for city employees. In other business: • the council did not read an amendment to the city’s traffic ordinance proposed by Councilman Mike Walter that would have lowered the speed limit on South Grandstaff Drive. Walter proposed the amendment after witnessing traffic crashes at the exit from the Kroger parking lot onto South Grandstaff Drive, despite hearing traffic study statistics that suggest the thoroughfare is not hazardous. Armed with those statistics, Councilman Jim Finchum motioned to

have Walter’s amendment stricken. Walter told the council that his amendment could not make the situation worse. Councilman Dick Stahly told the council that Walter’s push for the amendment was “pettifogging” and a play to the press. Stahly then called into question Walter’s sincerity in public safety, presenting statistics from the Auburn Police Department from the Kroger parking lot itself that show 65 crashes in the lot in just under four years and saying Walter has “no concern for those whatsoever.” Walter responded saying he has no control over private property as a councilman, but said he would present the Stahly’s statistics to Kroger management. The council passed Finchum’s motion to strike the amendment by 5-1-1 vote, with Walter voting against and Councilman Matthew Kruse abstaining. • Walter voted against paying the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership economic development organization the city’s share of $4,569, calling the organization “anti-union.” Walter asked why taxpayers should have to give money to an organization that “makes one of its goals to lobby against organized labor,” which Walter said helps residents earn decent wages.

German gummi bear baron Hans Riegel dies at age 90 BERLIN (AP) — Hans Riegel turned little gold bears into a global candy juggernaut. In a career spanning almost seven decades, Riegel was the driving force that made Haribo’s gummi bears a sugary staple in Germany and around the world, beloved for their bright colors, teddy-bear shape and an earworm jingle that insisted “kids and grown-ups love it so.” The man whose marketing acumen helped make his family-owned company a global household name died on Tuesday at 90. Haribo said Riegel died of heart failure in Bonn, where the company is based. He had been recovering from an operation to remove a benign brain tumor. From humble early days, Haribo rode West Germany’s post-World War II boom to become a candy giant. The company claims to churn out 100 million bears each day to feed a hunger for jellied treats in far-flung and unlikely places around the world. “Wherever I traveled in the last few years, the gold bears had already long been there,” Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in a tribute to Riegel’s achievement in making Haribo “a German global brand.” Riegel was the son of the company founder, also named Hans Riegel, who in 1920 set up Haribo — an acronym for “Hans Riegel Bonn.” In 1922, his father invented the “dancing bear,” a small bear made out of fruit gum that laid the foundations for Haribo’s later success. The company founder died in 1945. Upon being released as allied prisoners after World War II, Riegel and his younger brother, Paul, set about rebuilding

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — Two Florida girls who were primarily responsible for bullying a 12-year-old girl who killed herself were arrested after one of them acknowledged the harassment online, a sheriff said Tuesday. Police in central Florida have been investigating the death of 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick, who climbed a tower at an abandoned concrete plant Sept. 9 and hurled herself to her death. Authorities said as many as 15 girls may have bullied Rebecca and the investigation was continuing. Polk County Sheriff Grady

This 2008 photo shows Hans Riegel, the longtime boss of German candy maker Haribo who took the gummi bear to international fame, in Cologne, western Germany. Haribo said in a statement that Riegel, the son of the company’s founder, died of heart failure in Bonn on Tuesday. He was 90. the family firm. Haribo had only about 30 employees immediately after the war but, as West Germany’s economy took off, the number was up to 1,000 five years later. Paul Riegel, who died in 2009, focused on production while Hans Riegel took charge of marketing and sales — for instance, promoting the company’s wares with the slogan “kids and grown-ups love it so, the happy world of Haribo.” Haribo said Riegel took inspiration from children’s magazines and comics, once saying: “I love children. They are my customers. I have to be informed about what they want to nibble, what they think, what
language they speak.” In the 1960s and 1970s, Haribo acquired businesses in the Netherlands, France and Britain; and in 1982, it added a sales office in the United States, setting up Haribo of America, Inc. in Baltimore. The company also makes a broad selection of other gummy treats, from liquorice to fizzy cola to sour cherries. But none have the cultural pull — or, arguably, cuteness — of the bite-sized bears. Their worldwide success may have been boosted by the fact that, in 1985, Disney launched an animated television series called “Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears.” No direct link to the sweets was ever made, but the cartoons, too, were shown around the globe. In 2000, the Haribo company was criticized for refusing to contribute to a fund set up by German businesses and the government to compensate forced laborers during the Nazi period. Haribo insisted there was no evidence it had ever benefited from forced labor. Riegel remained a co-owner of the company and actively involved in the business until the end. The privately owned company now employs more than 6,000 people, about half of them in Germany, and has 15 production sites in 10 European countries. Riegel was awarded Germany’s highest honor, the Federal Cross of Merit, in 1994. That was recognition not only of his business career but of his commitment to social issues, such as encouraging the training of talented young people, and sports. Riegel was a passionate player and promoter of badminton.

Judd said the arrests of the girls, ages 14 and 12, were hastened when the older girl posted Saturday on Facebook, saying she bullied Rebecca but she didn’t care. “We decided that we can’t leave her out there. Who else is she going to torment, who else is she going to harass?” Judd said. The 14-year-old girl was accused of threatening to beat up Rebecca while they were sixth-graders at Crystal Lake Middle School, telling her “to drink bleach and die” and saying she should kill herself, the sheriff said. The older girl convinced the younger girl to bully Rebecca, and they both repeatedly intimidated her, called her names and once the younger girl even beat Rebecca up, police said. Both girls were charged as juveniles with third-degree felony aggravated stalking. If convicted, it’s not clear how much time, if any at all, the girls would spend in juvenile detention because they did not have any previous criminal history, the sheriff said. “Time may not be the best trainer here.

change this behavior of these children,” Judd said. The sheriff’s office identified the two girls, but The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes. Judd said the bullying began after the 14-year-old girl started dating a boy Rebecca had been seeing. The older girl didn’t like that and “began to harass and ultimately torment Rebecca,” Judd said. A man who answered the phone at the 14-year-old’s Lakeland home said he was her father and told The Associated Press “none of it’s true.” “My daughter’s a good girl and I’m 100 percent sure that whatever they’re saying about my daughter is not true,” he said. At the mobile home, a barking pit bull stood guard and no one came outside despite shouts from reporters for an interview. Neighbor George Colom said he had never interacted personally with girl but noticed her playing roughly with other children on the street.

In addition to being involved with trainers, jockeys and racehorses, the youth members will learn about the regulatory, business and management structure associated with the pari-mutuel industry
and explore the wide range of career opportunities associated with American Quarter Horse racing. Kugler will be competing for $6,000 worth of scholarships based on her overall scores from the pre-experience notebook, the second half of the notebook completed at the experience and the barn test. Top AQHYA members were chosen through a nomination and application process for the all-expense-paid trip.
The participants, ages 16-18, have a wide range of experience with horses and knowledge of racing. All belong to AQHYA, whose membership comprises nearly 27,000 equine enthusiasts ages 18 and younger. Eight of the 10 youth selected also participated in an AQHYA Regional Racing Experience, consisting of one- to two-day events at tracks in their respective regions. AQHYA continues to enhance programs involving those who are interested in horse racing.

near. The firm, one of the three leading U.S. credit-ratings agencies, said that “the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a U.S. default.” According to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, unless Congress acts by Thursday, the government will lose its ability to borrow and will be required to meet its obligations relying only on cash on hand and incoming tax receipts. President Barack Obama and numerous other officials in government and finance have
According to Crooks’ narrative, Renshaw, his wife, Alyssa, and their 3-year-old son walked from Renshaw’s residence a block away, in the 1100 block of West Mill Street, apparently to go to Fletcher’s home, around 9:30 p.m. “She had actually worked with him at a previous job and they were friends,” said Crooks. When they got to the entrance of the apartment complex, at a property adjacent to the parking lot, Fletcher allegedly flicked a cigarette into Alyssa Renshaw’s face, then used his fist to knock both Renshaws to the ground. Fletcher allegedly jumped on top of Wilbur Renshaw and struck him repeatedly in the torso area. According to autopsy information, he was lacerated in the torso, arm, forearm and shoulder. Another person interviewed by police, Fred
Schroeder, told Crooks he saw Fletcher on top of Renshaw and exclaimed “Dude! Dude!” Then Fletcher jumped up and fled to the east. From witness accounts, Crooks described Renshaw getting up from the ground, holding his bleeding shoulder and chest area. He said, “Call the police. … Please contact an ambulance. I’m hurt bad.” Then, Crooks said, he fell face first on the concrete. Angola Police officers responding to the scene turned Renshaw over, Crooks said, and he was “pretty much lifeless at that point.” He was pronounced dead at 10:07 p.m. at Cameron Memorial Community Hospital by Coroner Bill Harter. An early version of this story was posted on kpcnews.com at 2:45 p.m. Tuesday.

His girlfriend, Jenna Miller, showed Crooks cellphone texts sent shortly after 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Crooks said there had been “someone accusing someone of being a snitch.” Fletcher was among those arrested April 8 in a duplex on Broad Street in a drug raid where photocopied money also was seized. He has pending Class D felony charges of maintaining a common nuisance and misdemeanor marijuana and paraphernalia possession as well as a separate case alleging the purchase of more than the legal amount of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, a main ingredient in methamphetamine. “He was pacing back and forth. He was pumping his fists,” said Crooks. Holding a black-handled knife, Fletcher allegedly said, “Anybody gets in my way and I will kill them.”
warned of severe economic consequences if federal obligations come due that can’t be paid. By all accounts, though, an end seems near for the impasse that has once again exposed a government so divided that it sometimes borders on dysfunction. Though the House failed to muster sufficient support for a conservatives-only bill in the GOP-majority chamber on Tuesday, enough Republicans there seem likely to join House Democrats to approve a bipartisan version if it can be approved by the Senate
and sent to them. Politically, neither party is faring well, but polls indicate Republicans are bearing the brunt of public unhappiness as survey after survey shows their approval ratings plunging. There was no indication Tuesday night of the terms of a possible deal under discussion by Reid and McConnell, although the contours of an agreement had already come into shape on Monday, before what amounted to a daylong detour to give Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans time to craft their solution.
OBAMA: Callers inundate chamber, City Hall FROM PAGE A1
was first reported by The News Sun on Tuesday. The story was picked up by The Associated Press and it went viral on the Internet. On Tuesday, the Kendallville Area Chamber of Commerce office was inundated with calls from area residents, condemning the digital billboard and the negative image it gives the city. “The chamber has fielded numerous calls and emails as well as visits on this matter,” said chamber office manager Lisa Wolf, adding, “We stand with the mayor.” Mayor Suzanne Handshoe said Monday that the Obama sign was distasteful, adding, “It doesn’t reflect the image the city wants to send.” Wolf said the chamber agrees with that statement. Of the Obama sign, she added, “We feel it’s damaged the city’s image.”
The city of Kendallville has been inundated with calls as well, Handshoe said. People called in wrongly believing the sign was on city property or city-sponsored. “People think this is a city sponsored sign. It’s private property,” Handshoe said. “This was not a city-sponsored sign.” “I’m glad it’s down,” Handshoe added. Diehm said he had heard from many people about the sign, and the response he received was overwhelmingly positive. Those with a negative reactions should have complained about the image LaRouche PAC used in its ad when they first made it available, Diehm said. “They should have been throwing a fit about that picture a year ago,” he said. When there’s something positive on the sign, such as presidential quotes, people
“I’m not going to say I’m sorry.” Roger Diehm Owns video sign
• don’t react, Diehm said, adding that even a pro-life ad showing a fetus drew little reaction. “We murder over a million babies a year when it comes to abortion,” Diehm said, adding, “We got very little feedback on that.” Editorial cartoons have portrayed presidents as horned devils and monsters for years with little or no reaction, Diehm said. “I’m not going to say I’m sorry,” Diehm said, adding that he has nothing to do with LaRouche PAC.

LIGONIER — Less than two weeks after winning the Northeast Hoosier Conference title, DeKalb junior Mark Beckmann added postseason hardware to his ever-expanding trophy case. Beckmann finished in first place in Tuesday’s West Noble Sectional, crossing the finish line with a time of 16 minutes, 19.42 seconds — 19 seconds better than runner-up Brandon Arnold of West Noble. He’s the first Baron runner to win an individual sectional title since Nathan Morrow in 2007, and it also comes on the heels of Beckmann’s own runner-up finish last year. “It means a lot. It’s good, it’s a lot of momentum,” Beckmann said. “It’ll be fun to go into Saturday now that we’ve got some more confidence. Now we’ve just got to build on that.” SEE BOYS SECTIONAL, PAGE B2

Fremont senior Abigail Hostetler won the individual title at Tuesday’s West Noble Sectional with a time of 18 minutes, 34.22 seconds. The Eagles placed all five runners in the top 14 to easily win the team title.
LIGONIER — Competing in a sectional filled with much larger schools such as DeKalb, Angola, East Noble, Lakeland and West Noble, you’ll have to excuse Fremont senior Abigail Hostetler for reveling in the moment at Tuesday’s West Noble Sectional. Hostetler and the Eagles won the team title for the second consecutive year by scoring 34 points, easily outpacing second place West Noble (67). That performance was powered by Hostetler, who followed up last year’s second-place finish at the sectional with an individual title this season, finishing with a time of 18 minutes, 34.22 seconds. “It’s amazing to come out here and do our best and win, and show everyone who the little town of Fremont is,” Hostetler said.

Boston holds off Tigers DETROIT (AP) — Once again this October, one run was enough. John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston’s bullpen shut down Detroit’s big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the AL championship series. Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroit’s best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners. “The runs are pretty stingy,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “This is what it’s about in postseason, is good pitching.” Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-seven series they seemed to control just two days ago. Game 4 is Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister. Lackey allowed four hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the

stadium towers went out. “I think that little time off gave him a chance to slow down a little bit. He was excited and pumped that first inning,” Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. “Kind of getting excited with his slider, throwing a little too hard and leaving it over the middle, but he was still pretty effective.” It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highestscoring teams in the majors.

After rallying from a five-run deficit to even the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the game’s best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed
with a single. But Cabrera, who failed to reach base for the first time in 32 postseason games for the Tigers, never looked comfortable against Junichi Tazawa, swinging and missing at the first two offerings and eventually chasing an outside pitch for strike three. “He just did a great job pumping the fastballs away,” Saltalamacchia said.

Regionals ahead for surviving soccer teams BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
The DeKalb boys soccer team has a huge target on its back. And the Class 2A No. 16 Barons wouldn’t want it any other way. DeKalb is the defending regional champion, having won the first one in program history a season ago with wins over Homestead and Bishop Dwenger. Along with wearing the crown, the Barons already own wins over Fort Wayne North (10-5-2) — their opponent in the semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Thursday — and Bellmont (10-8) as they look to win the Carroll Regional. “There’s no doubt that everybody wants to knock off the defending champ,” said DeKalb coach Jed Freels. “Everybody wants a piece of you. Bellmont is playing in the other bracket, they want a piece of us. We’ve got everything to lose but also everything to gain. We definitely want to win back-to-back regionals. That’s definitely our
goal.” Bellmont plays Canterbury (11-7-1) in the other semifinal at 6 p.m. Canterbury received a bit of luck in the sectional, surviving both fifth-ranked Carroll and Northrop in penalty picks. North is a senior-laden squad led by Nyi Nyi Aung (16 goals, 4 assists). Other top players include Ohro Zlatanovic (11 goals) and Joseph Thang (four goals, six assists). DeKalb beat the Redskins 2-1 during the regular season. “They possess really well in the midfield, so they match up well with us,” Freels said. “The first game, they kept it packed in a little bit and we had a hard time getting the ball through. They’re well-prepared, have good skills and handled the ball well. It was tough for them to get through our defense. We thought we were the dominant team on PHIL FRIEND the field but it was only a 2-1 DeKalb sophomore Lukas Hamman keeps the ball away from game.

Trine falls to No. 1 Calvin
BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Trine University lost to NCAA Division III top-ranked Calvin 25-21, 25-13, 25-10 in a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association match Tuesday night. Maggie Kamp had 13 kills and 12 digs for the Knights (24-0, 12-0 MIAA). Megan Rietema added 31 assists, seven digs and four kills. Taylor Rabel had nine kills and five digs for the Thunder (10-13, 4-7). Carly Searles had nine assists, six digs and four kills.
BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Prairie Heights’ volleyball team put it all together in its final home match of the season in sweeping Northeast Corner Conference rival Angola 25-16, 25-21, 25-16 Tuesday night. “The girls came out on fire,” Panthers coach Tina Sailor said. “We couldn’t plan it any better.” Heights (15-13, 8-2 NECC) clinched sole possession of third place in the NECC with the victory and finished one match behind regular season co-champions Fairfield and Westview. The Hornets (13-15 overall) ended up tied for fourth with Churubusco at 7-3. Both PH and Angola received first-round byes in the NECC Tournament and won’t play until Saturday at Westview. On Tuesday, the Panthers jumped out to an 8-1 lead in game one. They generated more offense than Angola did in that opening game in winning comfortably. Game two was the most competitive game of the night. The Hornets answered a 5-0 Panther spurt with a 9-1 run to take a 17-13 advantage Shawna Carbone had a kill, then a crafty Tressa Terry dink on the second touch was not returned by AHS followed by another Panther kill tied the match at 18. Angola caught a break to take a 21-20 lead as the Panthers
College Soccer Thunder men lose at Alma ALMA, Mich. — Trine University’s men’s soccer team lost to Alma 1-0 in a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association match Tuesday afternoon. Julian Birge scored for the Scots (8-4, 4-4 MIAA) 8 minutes, 34 seconds into the match on an assist from Matt Sovis. The Thunder (2-10-1, 0-8) outshot Alma 10-9. Chris Stewart made three saves in the Trine goal.
Cross Country Malcolm, Stump advance to regional for Railroaders Garrett freshman Maranda Malcolm and junior Amanda Stump advanced to the regional with their performances in Tuesday’s Northrop Sectional. Malcolm finished 18th (20 minutes, 17.2 seconds) and Stump 36th (21:23). The girls team was 10th overall out of 12 teams with 233 points. Danielle Stump was 51st (22:07.3), Rachel Hood 63rd (22:44.3) and Raistlyn Lehman 65th (22:58.1). The Garrett boys placed 12th out of 12 teams with 367 points.

touched a Claire Grubb spike that was headed out of bounds. But Prairie Heights ran off the next five points to win the game. Keeping the play alive helped the Panthers on match point. A McKenzie Kain dig and a Terry block came before Angola was called for a violation on the final point of game two. PH scored the first three points in game three and never lost the momentum in completing the sweep. “Angola is a great blocking team,” Sailor said. “We did very well spot serving tonight.” Terry had 26 assists and three aces for the Panthers. She was one of the Heights’ top hitters last year and sacrificed that this year to be the team’s primary setter after a few matches passed this season. Haley Kleeberg had seven kills for PH while Hannah Herber had six. Shawna Carbone added 12 digs. Angola won the junior varsity match 25-24, 25-24 and the freshman match 25-17, 20-25, 15-9. The Panthers-Hornets match ended the Steuben County Volley for a Cure series for the season in a big way. Prairie Heights has contributed big to this cause in the fight against cancer and held a bake sale and silent auction. A circle of luminaries were lit in the East Gym at PH in tribute of family and friends who have battled or are still battling cancer. Prairie Heights director of student activities Bryce Heller said at least $2,300 was raised
for the Steuben County Cancer Association from Tuesday’s events with all the money from the silent auction not totally accounted for. With those events raising at least $1,500, WTHD radio (105.5 FM, LaGrange) sports color commentator Bob Murphy received a mohawk haircut which was sprayed in red. Murphy’s broadcast partner Brett Briscoe joined in the fun and had his hair sprayed in red. Sailor said her Panther players sold 504 of the roughly 700 Volley For A Cure T-shirts purchased. “I’m proud of their work off the court,” Sailor said. “The girls worked hard. This means a lot to them.” Prairie Heights went 1-2 at the Whitko Invitational Saturday without Herber because of family reasons. It beat North Miami, but lost to Columbia City and Garrett. Granger Christian at The Howe School The Lady Wildcats lost to Lady Knights 25-9, 25-18, 25-8. “We improved over our last match, and at the right time too with the state playoffs beginning next week,” Howe School coach Leeland Shaw said. “With our last regular season match of the year Thursday night we hope to keep things headed in the positive direction.” DeKalb at Snider DeKalb defeated Snider in four games 25-22, 18-25, 25-20, 25-22 in the Barons’ regular season finale. Hayley Martin led the Barons
with 15 kills and six blocks while also adding two aces. Maddy Fifer had five kills, Katie Moreland had five kills, Skylar Ostrowski had four kills and three blocks, Lexi Hooks had 16 digs and three aces, and Hunter Daub had 29 assists and seven digs. Fremont at Central Noble The Cougars (13-19 overall) won the NECC match 25-23, 25-21, 25-21. The Eagles are 10-17, 3-7 NECC. Both teams will play in NECC Tournament first-round matches on Thursday. Conference athletic directors will get those matchups together and announce them today. On Monday, CN defeated Whitko 21-25, 15-25, 26-24, 25-17, 15-8.

Colts try to pick up pieces after loss to Chargers INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis picked a poor time to have a bad game. The Colts missed an opportunity to seize control of the AFC South, show a prime-time TV
audience they’re a legitimate title contender and now have to prepare for Peyton Manning and the unbeaten Broncos on a short week. Good luck, right? Chuck Pagano thinks it
could be a perfect remedy for Indianapolis’ ills. “I know it can’t come quickly enough for all of us,” Pagano said Tuesday when asked about Sunday’s game. “But we’ve got to go
through the process and prepare, obviously, for this next opponent.” Sure, there’s plenty to fix between now and the league’s most anticipated game of the season — Manning’s return to Lucas
Oil Stadium. And after Monday night’s 19-9 loss, the Colts coaches will use every precious moment they have. The cramming session began after an early morning flight back.
BOYS SECTIONAL: West Noble repeats as champ FROM PAGE B1
West Noble won the team title for the second consecutive year with 69 points, 15 points ahead of second place DeKalb (84). Arnold was the only Charger in the top 10, but they had their other four runners place between 12th and 23rd to secure first place in a race that wasn’t top-heavy with one squad. “It’s one of our goals all year long to come out and win sectional,” said WN coach Rusty Emmert. “It’s more about getting the job done (Tuesday night). We’ve got regional to focus on. We didn’t want to have our best races but we wanted to have a good, quality race. “What we’ve done up to this point should carry us through quite a ways.” Beckmann and Arnold ran shoulder-to-shoulder early, but Beckmann pulled away shortly after crossing the one-mile mark and put separation between them fairly quickly. It’s the fifth time this season they’ve race against each other, and Beckmann has won four times. “I hit the mile mark at the split I wanted to try to get it at, and my coaches said ‘You got him, you got him,’ and so I just kept trying to pull away the best I could,” Beckmann said. “Arnold’s very good. It’s always fun to race him.” DeKalb head coach Rowland Perez describes Beckmann as “a textbook kid.” “He does what he needs to do and makes it look easy,” Perez said. “Just chalk up another victory for him, which is a good confidence booster. Just come back Saturday and do the same thing.” Both Beckmann and Arnold are expected to be running up front with Concordia’s Zach Panning, the regional favorite. “Just hang to him the best we can,” Beckmann said. “Just keep working hard and that’s about it.” Said Perez, “I’d like to think Mark can run with him. Panning’s never really had a challenge and this course favors Mark. The plan is to stay close to him and see what happens.”

DeKalb junior Mark Beckmann won the sectional title in Tuesday’s West Noble Sectional, finishing with a time of 16 minutes, 19.42 seconds.
Also advancing to Saturday’s regional — held at West Noble — are Lakeland (100), East Noble (109) and Prairie Heights (110), which finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively. Rounding out the individual top 10 were East Noble sophomore Joseph Vandiver (16:45.65), Lakeland senior Joseph Trost (17:02.11), Fremont senior Alex Beams (17:03.69), Lakeland senior Eric Herber (17:13.87), Heights sophomore Josh Perkins (17:15.12), Heights sophomore Mitch Perkins (17:15.16), Fremont senior David Schmucker (17:15.29) and Angola senior Isaiah Mortorff (17:19.86). The Indiana High School Athletic Association changed the rules for postseason advancement this season. Instead of having to place in the top-15 individuals — regardless of team standings — to qualify for the next round, the top 10 runners on non-advancing teams move on to the regional. Advancing as individuals are Beams, Schmucker, Mortorff, Angola junior Nathaniel Roe (16th, 17:32.72), Churubusco freshman Jacob Eyer (20th, 17:42.96), Angola freshman Zachary Orn (24th, 17:56.46), Westview

junior Daniel Flores (25th, 18:01.32), Westview junior Spencer Shank (28th, 18:07.79), Westview junior Derek Miller (30th, 18:08.29) and Churubusco junior Blake Gross (31st, 18:12.60). Rounding out the team scores, Angola (133) was sixth, Westview seventh (168), Fremont eighth (170), Churubusco ninth (181) and Central Noble 10th (279).
“We have a good training system and support from the whole community, parents and everyone. It’s just great to come out here and kick some butt.” Hostetler was nearly a minute faster — 54 seconds to be exact — than the runner-up, East Noble senior Alexia Zawadzke (19:28.31). Hostetler also ran a personal-best time on the WN course. “It’s pretty awesome. I get a lot of encouragement from everyone,” Hostetler said. “Coach trains us to our best and tells us we can go out and do everything. I just came out here and ran my best, so I feel pretty good.” The Eagles clinched the sectional title by placing all five runners in the top-13. Freshman Courtney Woosley was third (19:41.33), freshman Riley Welch was sixth (20:07.49), junior Makenna Cade was 13th (20:49.07) and sophomore Katie Culler (20:59.81) was 14th. “I told the girls coming in, nobody’s handed us a
trophy yet so we’ve got to earn it and win it on the course. We’ve got to do it through the race, get to the finish line and everything will work out,” said Fremont coach Moses Castillo. “Just trust our training and everything will work out. “The goal was to get everyone in the top 10 but we’ll take that. We had two freshman step it up (Tuesday) and really carry on the tradition, so we’re getting to where we need to be.” Also advancing to the team regional with Fremont and West Noble are DeKalb (85), East Noble (94) and Angola (122), which finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively. Rounding out the top 10 individuals were Prairie Heights junior Apsen Dirr in fourth (19:47.7), Angola freshman Josey Korte (fifth, 19:48.80), Welch, DeKalb sophomore Krista McCormick (seventh, 20:09.67), West Noble junior Amairany Cruz (eighth, 20:20.00), WN sophomore Yvette Rojas

SOCCER: Big matches ahead for DeKalb, Westview and Lakewood Park FROM PAGE B1
Fueling the Barons’ success the past two seasons are brothers Brennan and Landon Cochran. Brennan Cochran, a junior, is tied for the state lead in goals with 39. Cochran has 104 goals for his career, and he’ll have another full year to break the school record. He’s also got 10 assists on the campaign. Landon Cochran, a senior, is second on the team with 13 goals and has seven assists. “This isn’t a fluke season; 104 goals in three seasons, Brennan’s the real deal,” Freels said. “If you think he’s having a bad game, all of the sudden you turn your back and there’s a goal. He’s not only one of the best players with a ball on his foot, he’s also so fast. You put the ball on his foot and he’s gone. It’s one of those things we really feel like that’s a blessing for us.” But DeKalb is by far from a two-man team. Other offensive contributors include junior Evan Freed (six goals, 10 assists), senior Grant Lockwood (five goals, 16 assists) and junior Brad Lancaster (nine assists). LAKEWOOD PARK/ WESTVIEW BOYS Yes, Class A No. 17 Lakewood Park Christian has won six consecutive sectional titles. However, a regional title eluded the Panthers (15-2) in their first five trips the regional – the past two years coming at the Class A level. Lakewood Park will get a check at catching its own white whale, beginning Thursday when it takes on No. 8 Blackhawk Christian at 5 p.m. in the Garrett Regional semifinal. “We’re highly motivated,” said Panther coach Terry Exford. “It’s nice to win sectional titles but there’s a hunger for a regional title. Three years ago we made it to the regional final. The seniors know that feeling of getting there but they know that feeling of coming up short, too. We are thinking that it’s time to get it done. “The guys are a little more excited about it this year because they have confidence in themselves that they can go further than just winning a sectional title.” The other semifinal features Westview (12-6-1) and No. 2 Bishop Luers (15-3), beginning at 7 p.m. The two winners then play at noon Saturday to determine the regional champion. Thursday’s meeting is the first between Lakewood Park and Blackhawk. LP is led by senior Hunter Yoder (28 goals, 10 assists) and sophomore Bradey Gerke (22 goals, 13 assists). Last year, Yoder was a defensive-minded player who scored 15 goals, and took on new responsibilities this year and rose to the challenge. Gerke only scored four goals last year. “We lost two really strong
scorers from last year that combined for 45 goals,” Exford said. “We had to have some guys step up and we have full confidence in Hunter Yoder and Bradey Gerke that they’re capable of putting the ball in the goal and creating for others to score. Bradey has been a huge plus for us.” Other offensive threats include junior Evan Witmer (eight goals, four assists), junior Jordan Collins (six goals, two assits) and junior Jared Gerke (six goals, 12 assists). Exford also cites a strong center back pairing of senior RJ Hughes and Collins for the team’s success, along with the goalkeeping of junior Adam Hollman, who has eight shutouts on the year. Westview is led by junior Buchanon Carpenter, who’s
scored 19 goals on the season. Classmate Jacob Berkey has seven goals and seven assists on the season. DEKALB GIRLS It’s an all-Northeast Hoosier Conference affair in the Class 2A East Noble Regional, which begins today in Kendallville. DeKalb (16-2) plays Bellmont (12-6) in the second game at 7 p.m., as the first game pits Carroll (12-5) against No. 16 Homestead (13-2-4) at 5 p.m. During the conference season, the Barons defeated Bellmont 3-1 and Carroll in penalty kicks, and lost to Homestead 2-0. The Barons are led by junior Taya Poynter, whose 24 goals this season are a school record while also distributing 15 assists. Not far behind her is senior Kacey Wells (20 goals, 11 assists). Senior Madison
VanWye is also a steady contributor (13 goals, 12 assists) as is sophomore Andrea Oster (12 goals, four assists). DeKalb’s sophomore goalkeeper, Allie Gaff, has eight shutouts on the year. WESTVIEW GIRLS The Class A No. 15 Westview girls soccer team (15-4) will play in a one-game regional at 7 p.m. Saturday against No. 19 Argos (12-6-1) at Argos. If the Warriors win, they’ll play in the Argos Semistate against the winner of No. 6 Hamilton Heights (17-2)No. 5 West Lafayette (11-7) Oct. 26. The Warriors are led by sophomore Riley Hochstetler (21 goals, 12 assists), junior Steph Mowery (16 goals, five assists) and junior Tori Oesch (seven goals, five assists).

SPORTS BRIEFS • Gustavsson lifts Red Wings over Blue Jackets DETROIT (AP) — Jonas Gustavsson stopped 36 shots and the Detroit Red Wings held off the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 on Tuesday night. Daniel Alfredsson scored his first goal as a Red Wing and Todd Bertuzzi got the game winner. Henrik Zetterberg had two assists. Cam Atkinson scored for Columbus and Sergei Bobrobsky made 30 saves. Bertuzzi’s power-play goal gave the Red Wings a 2-1 with 8:46 left in the middle period. He scored from just outside the crease for his second goal. Atkinson put the Blue Jackets on the board and tied the game 7:48 into the second period with an unassisted power-play goal. It was a spectacular individual effort as Atkinson carried the puck the length of the ice, bulled past Detroit defenseman Dan DeKeyser, got off one shot and then jammed the rebound past Gustavsson. It was Atkinson’s second goal. Alfredsson gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead 5:05 into the game when he blasted a slap shot past Bobrovsky from the left circle. Detroit led 1-0 after the first period, despite being outshot 18-7. Gustavsson denied Cam Atkinson twice from in close in the period’s last 10 seconds.
ALCS: Lackey used change up to slow Tigers FROM PAGE B1
“He’s so sneaky with that 94-95 (mph), it’s tough to hit.” Fielder was even more overmatched against Koji Uehara, striking out on three pitches. Uehara also pitched the ninth for a save, ensuring that Lackey’s fine performance wouldn’t go to waste. Lackey pitched poorly his first two seasons in Boston after signing an $82.5 million, five-year contract in December 2009. Then he missed all of 2012 following elbow ligament-replacement surgery. He’s been better this season, and he kept the Tigers off balance Tuesday by effectively changing speeds. “He just never gave in,” Saltalamacchia said. Napoli’s first at-bat in the majors was against Verlander on May 4, 2006, at Comerica Park. He homered then, too. “He’s tough. He was on his game tonight. He was keeping all of us off balance,” said Napoli, who rubbed his bat on teammate Jonny Gomes’ beard before going up to the plate. “I got to a 3-2 count and put a good swing on a pitch, was able to drive it.” In the last two games, the Tigers have started Verlander and 21-game winner Max Scherzer — and the Red Sox won both. Throw in Anibal Sanchez’s outstanding effort in the opener, when the Red Sox managed only a ninth-inning single in a 1-0 loss, and Detroit’s three starters in the ALCS have combined to allow two runs and six hits with 35 strikeouts in 21 innings. Still, the Tigers have fallen behind because their bullpen blew a four-run lead late in Game 2 and the offense came up empty at home on Tuesday. Detroit stranded runners on first and third in the first, then wasted Jhonny Peralta’s leadoff double in the fifth. Peralta reached third with one out, but an overanxious Omar Infante struck out and Andy Dirks grounded out. Verlander needed every bit of focus after Jacoby Ellsbury’s one-out single in the sixth. The Tigers have not held runners well this year, but a number of pickoff throws helped prevent a steal. At one point, Verlander appeared to be pointing at his wrist, as if to ask the dugout if his delivery to the plate was quick enough. Amid all that, Verlander got Shane Victorino on a flyout, and after Ellsbury moved to second anyway on a wild pitch, Dustin Pedroia grounded out to end the threat. Napoli’s homer was the first run allowed by Verlander since Sept. 18 — he pitched six scoreless innings in each of his last two starts in the regular season before blanking the opposition for 21 innings in the playoffs. That streak ended with one swing by Napoli. Lackey was pulled with one on in the seventh. Craig Breslow came on and walked Alex Avila, but Infante’s groundout ended the inning. The Red Sox appeared to be in deep trouble when Detroit led 5-0 in Game 2, but David Ortiz tied it with an eighth-inning grand slam off closer Joaquin Benoit, and the Red Sox won it in the ninth. Verlander looked ready to halt any notion of momentum for the Red Sox. He struck out six straight in the second and third, matching a single-game postseason record. Lackey did his best to keep pace, retiring 10 in a row before Peralta’s double. The Tigers had taken no-hitters into at least the sixth inning of the previous three games. Verlander fell an out short of extending that streak when Gomes hit a roller up the middle for an infield single in the fifth. “We won a game with four hits tonight. It says a lot about this team,” Gomes said.

Planning in the blind Welcome to the great unknown — otherwise known as local government budgeting. You will be figuratively blindfolded for the process. Take the town of Avilla as an example. On Monday, the Avilla Town Council approved its budget for next year. The budget is approximately 4 percent higher than last year’s, according to Town Manager Bill Ley. And the numbers are nothing more than MATT conjecture. The town know how much GETTS won’t of its budget is actually approved until it gets word from the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance. That word won’t come until likely the middle of February, according to Clerk-TreaGovernment entities surer Rita Grocock, or have learned to approve nearly two budgets that are months after purposely high based on the town’s fiscal year the knowledge the state begins. will cut the amount Until that February anyway. date comes around, the town of Avilla, like municipalities all across the state, will be operating in 2014 on assumptions, not cold hard facts. Imagine trying to prepare for a new year not knowing how much money you will have to spend? “You cannot plan,” Grocock said. “Our budget is a ‘guesstimate.’” Government entities have learned to approve budgets that are purposely high based on the knowledge the state will cut the amount anyway. With tax revenue checks coming in June and December, the town will have the funds to tide itself over until the budget is approved, but it won’t be able to make substantial plans for projects until those numbers are in hand. Imagine if your employer was that whimsical with your paycheck. Based on what you earn, you decide to buy a house. Two months into your new digs, and your employer slashes your pay by 10 percent and you can no longer swing the house payment. Ah, government. Grocock worked in manufacturing accounting for 25 years. Planning at a company like that is essential. Management needs to know how much it can spend on maintenance, how much it can spend on research and development. Government entities have similar needs to fill. We elect people to plan road improvements, to set aside money for contingencies. Our elected officials can do neither, not for a couple of months anyway. The president’s Affordable Health Care Act has added a new wrinkle of unknown to government — and corporate — finances. Until the new law takes effect, providers won’t known the financial ramifications of it. On Monday, the Avilla Town Council discussed a proposal from its insurance carrier that calls for an 11 percent increase in premiums. The catch is that the town must sign up for the proposal by Nov. 15 with an enactment date of Dec. 1. The insurance carrier made the offer not knowing exactly how its own costs would be impacted by the act. If the town did not accept the proposal it could potentially have to pay a much higher increase when the dust from the Affordable Health Care Act is at least partially settled before Jan. 1. Or it could potentially be paying more than it should have if the impact of the new law is not so fiscally great. To its credit, the council hedged its bet, allowing town officials to wait until Nov. 15 to accept the proposal and approving a maximum 11.29 percent increase should word come early that the financial costs won’t be as high as are being projected.

Letters to The Editor • Disrespectful Obama video similar to what is happening in Washington To the editor: Unfortunately, when I saw the sign depicting Obama with a Hitler mustache at the Cornerstone Plaza, it was already in a YouTube video making rounds around the Internet, reflecting negatively on the town as a whole. Like a lot of discussion about the government shutdown and Obamacare, it did not contain any meaningful information regarding the issues. Instead, it called for the impeachment of Obama while comparing him to a man responsible for the death of millions of innocent people. Regardless of your political stance this is horribly disrespectful to both the office of the president of the United States and anyone who was affected by the Holocaust. Those responsible for the sign passed the responsibility for putting this in public. Calls made to Cornerstone Plaza LLC were directed to a message explaining that the ad was the responsibility of a Political Advisory Committee. If a business is going to sell advertising space and place the ads in public, should they not be expected to review the content? Are we supposed to believe that Cornerstone Plaza’s directors did not know what the advertisement would say? This sign has, in a way, been a microcosm of the government shutdown as a whole. It shows a total lack of respect, and those involved seek to pass the blame. I ask that those who blame Obama for the shutdown investigate the process that is used. Obama does not have the power to end the shutdown. House Resolution 368, passed on Oct. 1, removed the power to call for a vote to open the govern-
ment from each privileged member of the House of Representatives and gave the power exclusively to the Republican Majority Leader of the House. “The Rules Committee under the rules of the House changed the standing rules of the House to take away the right of any member to move to vote to open the government and gave that right exclusively to the Republican leader, is that right?” Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland). “The House adopted that resolution,” Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). Many of you are thinking, “but the Majority leader would open a vote if Obama would just negotiate with him.” At its surface this seems like a very logical conclusion. However, let’s take a look at the issue on the table (or rather NOT on the table). This debacle began when the House refused to pass a spending bill without the inclusion of a delay in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Many people may have issues with the ACA, and that is fine, but this is not how the democratic process works. The ACA legislation passed all of the hurdles to become a law four years ago. It was upheld by the Supreme Court, and ratified by an election. Understandably, many people still take issue with ACA. The way to fix these issues is to pass new legislation (through the same process which ACA needed to pass to become a law). New legislations regarding ACA have been brought to vote more than 40 times in the House and have been voted down each time. A negotiation requires concessions on both sides. The only concessions that are being offered to the president are things to which the House is inherently obligated, such as running the government and voting on new legislation. There will always be
people who blindly blame the opposing party, but that is a shame. If you are going to voice your political opinion, the least you can do is to know what you are talking about. If you are going to discuss health care, read the points of ACA rather than to just trust the analysis of a single media outlet. If you want to berate your government for being shut down, make sure you know who has their finger on the switch. Informed political discussion is great, but uninformed political discussion only spreads ignorance. Paul Imbrock Kendallville
Television, neighbors, government cause concern To the editor: I am sick of just about everything on television. You know I moved to Albion in 1999 and bought a nice home in a nice quiet subdivision and thought I made the right move. But in the last couple of years the nice neighbors decided to sell and move to another area, and what happens? One neighbor lets their kids run all over the neighborhood in people’s yard … run up in their driveways and in the streets. People don’t realize if they (kids) get hurt on your property they can hold you responsible and sue you for medical bills. And then you have some decent families that move in. And it is a pleasure to welcome them. And I don’t even want to bring up our so called government. I could write many pages on how I feel about those people. Have a great day everyone and God bless you. Bud Barton Albion

Terror suspect pleads not guilty
Man with knife attempts to enter Buckingham Palace LONDON (AP) — A man with a history of mental illness was hoping to see Queen Elizabeth II when he tried to rush through a Buckingham Palace gate carrying a six-inch (15-cm) knife, a prosecutor said Tuesday. David Belmar, 44, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to trespassing and possession of a bladed article for the incident a day earlier, when he was tackled after jumping over a vehicle barrier outside Buckingham Palace. The queen was not at Buckingham Palace at the time. Prosecutor Edward Aydin told Westminster Magistrates’ Court that Belmar told police that he wanted to see the queen and was “not happy” about his welfare benefits. Aydin said that Belmar is taking medication for mental health issues and has a fixation on the queen. In 1989, he said, Bellmar received a police warning for lighting fireworks and throwing them onto the palace grounds. “He is a danger to the public, carrying a knife in central London, and he is a danger to the queen,” Aydin said.
Airlines squeezing in more passengers with slimmer seats BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The big U.S. airlines are taking out old, bulky seats in favor of so-called slimline models that take up less space from front to back, allowing for five or six more seats on each plane. The changes, covering some of the most common planes flown on domestic and international routes, give the airlines two of their favorite things: More paying passengers, and a smaller fuel bill because the seats are slightly lighter. It’s part of a trend among the airlines to view seats as money-makers, not just pieces of furniture. Add a few inches of legroom and airlines can charge more for tickets. Take away a few inches and they can fit more seats on the plane. Some passengers seem to mind the tighter squeeze more than others. The new seats generally have thinner padding. And new layouts on some planes have made the aisles slightly narrower, meaning the dreaded beverage cart bump to the shoulder happens more often.
People • ‘Escape Plan’ goes black in Dubai due to profane language DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Moviegoers in the United Arab Emirates saw the screen turn black as frazzled officials broke up the screening of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s latest action flick after a character was heard cursing in Arabic in the movie. The National, a state-backed newspaper, reported Monday that the Dubai Media Council asked theaters in the Emirates to halt the screening of the “Escape Plan.” Authorities quickly censored the profane words out of the film, and the revised version was back in theaters within hours. The movie features Stallone and Schwarzenegger trying to escape from a futuristic, fortified prison. Before movies debut in local theaters, Arab governments around the region censor films for content, often cutting out sexual scenes and kissing, as well as comments deemed blasphemous.

President Barack Obama awards the Medal of Honor to former Army Capt. William D. Swenson of Seattle, Wash.,
during a ceremony in the East Room at the White House in Washington Tuesday.
Man gets Medal of Honor for heroic actions in battle WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Army captain whose heroic actions in a deadly Afghan battle were captured on video received the nation’s highest military award, the Medal of Honor, from President Barack Obama at the White House Tuesday. Obama placed the award around the neck of William D. Swenson for his actions in a lengthy battle against the Taliban in the Ganjgal valley near the Pakistan border four years ago, which claimed the lives of five Americans, 10 Afghan army troops and an interpreter. Obama noted that although the honor has been bestowed nearly 3,500 times in U.S. history, never before had Americans been able to witness of a small part of the bravery that led to it. The video captured from cameras mounted on the helmets of evacuation helicopter pilots showed
Swenson delivering a severely wounded soldier to the helicopter and placing a kiss on his head as he placed him inside. Swenson, 34, retired from the military in February 2011 and has been living in Seattle. But two U.S. officials told The Associated Press that Swenson has asked to return to active duty, and the Army is working to allow it. Swenson was serving as a trainer and mentor embedded with the Afghan National Security Forces in Kunar Province in eastern Afghanistan when they came under fire near dawn on Sept. 8, 2009. Obama recounted how Swenson dodged enemy fire, without a helmet, and risked his life to recover bodies and help save fellow troops. “Will Swenson was there for his brothers,” Obama said. The president called Swenson a “pretty low key
Blast in mosque kills Afghan official KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A bomb in a mosque killed a provincial governor Tuesday in the highest profile assassination in recent months, part of an intensified campaign to intimidate Afghanistan’s administration as it prepares for elections and the withdrawal of foreign troops after 12 years of war. The bomb killed Gov. Arsallah Jamal of eastern Logar province as he delivered a speech at the main mosque in the provincial capital of Puli Alam to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The attack also wounded 15 people, five of them critically, said his spokesman, Din Mohammad Darwesh. Jamal was a close confidant and adviser to President Hamid Karzai, who strongly condemned that bombing, saying it was an attack “against Islam.” “Terrorists and the Taliban working in the name of Islam carry out attacks that result in the killing of innocent Muslims. Surely it is not the act of Muslims, but those who have been hired to kill Muslims,” Karzai said. He did not elaborate, but he has often blamed foreign interests, mostly in neighboring Pakistan, of being behind many of the high profile attacks against members of his administration in recent years. No group has claimed responsibility, but it bore
s KPC Today’s
the hallmarks of the Taliban, which has been fighting Karzai’s administration and the foreign military presence in Afghanistan since the U.S. invasion in late 2001. The group has made attacking government officials a key part of its official military campaign this year. In a message Monday timed for the Eid al-Adha holiday, the secretive leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Mohammad Omar, called for his fighters to intensify their campaign against Afghan and NATO forces, and he urged all Afghans to boycott the April 5 election that will elect Karzai’s successor. All foreign military combat forces are to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Logar, which is located just south of Kabul, was once a mostly calm province. But it has recently seen an influx of Taliban fighters and increased attacks against government forces. Jamal, 47, was Karzai’s campaign manager during the 2009 presidential elections. He also was governor of Khost province until he was appointed to his current post in Logar in April. A high-profile target, Jamal had survived a number of assassination attempts, including suicide bombings against his office in Khost in May and July.

guy,” who would rather be on a Pacific Northwest mountain trail surrounded by cedar trees instead of in front of the cameras at the White House. But Obama, perhaps thinking of the current partisan budget dispute gripping Washington, said, “I think our nation needs this ceremony today.” “In moments like this, Americans like Will remind us of what our country can be at its best, a nation of citizens who look out for one another, who meet our obligations to one another not just when it’s easy, but also when it’s hard — maybe especially when it’s hard,” Obama said. “And, Will, you’re an example to everyone in this city and to our whole country of the professionalism and patriotism that we should strive for, whether we wear a uniform or not, not just on particular occasions but all the time.”
NEW YORK (AP) — A Libyan charged in the deadly 1998 al-Qaida bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa pleaded not guilty Tuesday to terrorism charges in a brief proceeding that followed a familiar script in a courthouse that has hosted numerous terrorism cases in the past two decades. A frail looking Abu Anas al-Libi entered the plea in a heavily guarded federal courtroom in Manhattan 10 days after he was captured during an Oct. 5 military raid in Libya. The 49-yearold al-Libi was interrogated aboard a U.S. Navy warship for a week before being brought to New York on Saturday. Al-Libi, who has a thick gray beard, kept his hands folded on his lap as the judge read the charges. His court-appointed federal defender, David Patton, entered the plea on his behalf. Al-Libi was handcuffed and led out of court after the judge ordered him detained as a flight risk. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas
Lewin had requested detention, calling al-Libi a “clear danger.” Early in the proceeding, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan asked the defendant how he wanted to be addressed in court. Al-Libi, who spoke in Arabic and listened to the proceeding with help from a translator, said he preferred to be known as Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai. There was no reference in court to al-Libi’s longstanding health issues, except for a request that the judge sign a medical order, which Kaplan said he had already done. Al-Libi had signed an affidavit to say he could not afford to hire a lawyer. Al-Libi is charged in a Manhattan indictment in bombings that killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans. Known as one of al-Qaida’s early computer experts, he is accused of helping plan and conduct surveillance for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Muslims celebrate festival of sacrifice MINA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Muslims around the world held Eid al-Adha celebrations Tuesday, slaughtering sheep and other livestock to give meat to the poor in the biggest holiday of the Islamic calendar. In Saudi Arabia, some 2 million Muslims on the annual hajj pilgrimage performed a rite throwing pebbles at a series of walls representing Satan in a symbolic gesture of stoning the devil, rejecting sin and
temptation. Afterward, they shaved their heads — or cut off a lock of hair — to show the renewal of their faith and the purification of their souls. The rites kicked off the festivities of Eid al-Adha — or “festival of sacrifice” — for Muslims around the world. The holiday commemorates the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim — or Abraham, as he is known in the Bible — to sacrifice his son in accordance with God’s will.

Sexually active teens need birth control DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter confided that she has become sexually involved with her boyfriend and asked if I would buy condoms for her. I agreed that she should protect herself and bought her a box of 12. A week later, she informed me that she needed another 12-pack. When I asked why she had run out so quickly, she confessed that she has been supplying them to her girlfriends. Apparently they can’t confide in their moms the way she can with me. My dilemma is that condoms are expensive and, on one hand, I don’t want to be the one supplying a group of kids. On the other hand, if I can help to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, maybe it’s worth it. What do you think I should do?

On this date: • In 1943, Chicago Mayor Edward J. Kelly officially opened the city’s new subway system during a ceremony at the State and Madison street station. • In 1972, a twin-engine plane carrying U.S. House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, D-La., and U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, D-Alaska, disappeared while flying over a remote region of Alaska; the aircraft was never found.
THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM
Caregivers can find their own peace when you’re doing everything right, a person who is not in her right mind may not appreciate what you’re doing. When that person is someone you love, that’s really hard to deal with. In her helpful new book, “Mindfulness Support for ASK Alzheimer’s DOCTOR K. Caregivers,” my Harvard Medical Dr. Anthony School colleague Dr. Gazelle Komaroff Gail helps guide caregivers back to physical and emotional health so that they can continue to care for their loved ones while preserving their own well-being.
•
Dr. Gazelle offers lots of practical advice, tips and exercises to help you reframe your thoughts. Your circumstances might not change, but your ability to control the way you experience your circumstances can. Here are a few examples: • Guilt. When your loved one has Alzheimer’s, the guilt can seem endless. You feel guilty that you don’t visit often enough, or that you don’t do enough. You feel guilty about things that you did or didn’t do before the disease took over. When you experience guilt, ask yourself: In what ways can I replace my guilt with awareness of the good things that I’m doing for my loved one? • The present moment. Experience what’s happening right now, without labeling or judging it. Don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future. Enjoy the view from wherever you stand. It decreases worry

DEAR DOCTOR K: I do my best to care for my mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease. But I often feel guilty and frustrated. Can you help me change my outlook — for my sake and my mother’s? DEAR READER: Fortunately, I never had to face the challenge that you face, as my parents both died while in full possession of their faculties. But many of my patients and friends are experiencing what you are going through. And like you, they often feel guilty and judge themselves harshly. The sad truth is that today there is little anyone can do to fully prevent the slow decline of someone afflicted with Alzheimer’s. As I look at the status of research on the disease, I’m an optimist. I think some powerful ways to prevent and treat the disease may well be discovered. As a caregiver, there is only so much you can do. And even

and stress. • Moments of joy. During the most trying times, we sometimes find moments of joy. With Alzheimer’s, such moments may be small but significant: a smile of understanding. Your mother’s cooperation while getting dressed. A caress that takes you back to earlier years. Hang on to these moments by keeping a journal describing the times when you feel a strong sense of joy. Describe what made the moment so joyful. Be a source of reassurance and what you think may be happy memories. Touch your mother the way you always have. Sing a song she loved, and try to get her to join you. When you remind her of what she loved, you can bring both of you a measure of peace. DR.

Death toll rising from earthquake in Philippines CEBU, Philippines (AP) — The death toll from a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck the central Philippine island of Bohol on Tuesday rose to 93, as rescuers struggled to reach patients in a collapsed hospital. Centuries-old stone churches crumbled and wide areas were without power. Bohol police chief Dennis Agustin said 77 of the deaths came from the province. At least 15 others died in nearby Cebu province and another on Siquijor Island. The quake struck at 8:12 a.m. and was centered about 33 kilometers (20 miles) below Carmen city, where many small buildings collapsed. Many roads and bridges were reported damaged, making rescue operations difficult. But historic churches dating from the Spanish colonial period suffered the most. Among
them was the country’s oldest, the 16th-century Basilica of the Holy Child in Cebu, which lost its bell tower. Nearly half of a 17th-century limestone church in Loboc town, southwest of Carmen, was reduced to rubble. The highest number of dead — 18 — were in the municipality of Loon, 42 kilometers (26 miles) west of Carmen, where an unknown number of patients were trapped inside the Congressman Castillo Memorial Hospital, which partially collapsed. Rescuers were working to reach them, said civil defense spokesman Maj. Reynaldo Balido. As night fell, the entire province was in the dark after the quake cut power supplies. Windy weather and rain also forced back a military rescue helicopter. Authorities were setting up tents for those
displaced by the quake, while others who lost their homes moved in with their relatives, Bohol Gov. Edgardo Chatto said. Extensive damage also hit densely populated Cebu city, across a narrow strait from Bohol, causing deaths when a building in the port and the roof of a market area collapsed. The quake set off two stampedes in nearby cities. When it struck, people gathered in a gym in Cebu rushed outside in a panic, crushing five people to death and injuring eight others, said Neil Sanchez, provincial disaster management officer. “We ran out of the building, and outside, we hugged trees because the tremors were so strong,” said Vilma Yorong, a provincial government employee in Bohol. “When the shaking stopped, I ran to the street and there I saw several

that hit Bohol, central Philippines, Tuesday.
As fear set in, Yorong and the others ran up a mountain, afraid a tsunami would follow the
quake. “Minutes after the earthquake, people were pushing each other to go up the hill,” she said.
