STATE BRIEFS INDIANA Ex-janitor sentenced to 15 years in prison

SOUTH BEND — A former custodian at a northern Indiana high school was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison for placing a camera in a boys’ locker room shower.

R o b e r t Tr o u p , 5 4 , o f Mishawaka, pleaded guilty in November to enticing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce pornography, a federal offense. The camera recorded 43 boys, according to police. There is no evidence the images were distributed.

A prosecutor said the government settled for a sentence slightly below the minimum recommendation because it wanted to spare victims the pain of testifying if the case went to trial.

Troup admitted putting the camera in the shower at Penn High School sometime around December 2010.

Two students found the camera weeks later at the South Bend school and put it in a drawer after they couldn’t access the recordings. They told a swim coach about the camera in November 2011 after a discussion about Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach at Penn State who was convicted of child sexual abuse.

Troup worked at the school district for more than 20 years.

He was fired in December 2011 after criminal charges were filed.

“I’m sorry for what I did,” Troup said in court. “I made a mistake. I let my community down.”

US audit: Indiana should refund Medicaid $5.8M

INDIANAPOLIS — A federal audit recommends that Indiana’s human services agency refund more than $5.8 million in Medicaid funds because a state hospital failed to “demonstrate compliance” with special conditions for psychiatric hospitals.

The audit released Friday by the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services says Logansport State Hospital failed to demonstrate it met staffing and medical record requirements from 2008 through the end of 2010.

Auditors recommended the Family and Social Services Administration refund $5.84 million for the federal share of the payments under Medicaid.

It’s unclear whether Indiana will need to make the refunds. A message seeking comment was left Friday with the FSSA. The hospital about 70 miles north of Indianapolis has 170 beds in two units that treat mentally ill criminals and other individuals.

Pence office closed for staff meeting

INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence’s Statehouse office was shut down for the day while his staff was meeting “out of office.”

A sign posted on the door of the governor’s office Friday read “Our office will be closed Friday February 15th for out of office staff meetings.”

The lights were out and none of the dozens of staffers who normally work in the office appeared to be inside.

A Pence spokeswoman did not immediately return an email or phone call seeking an explanation Friday morning.

Friday is neither a state nor federal holiday and most other Statehouse employees showed up to work.

Pence unhappy with GOP budget, Dems seek vote

INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence is deriding House Republicans’ state budget plan that would replace his proposed tax cut with more spending on roads and education.

And the Republican governor is winning a strange bedfellow in the process: Democratic House Minority Leader Scott Pelath.

House Ways and Means Chairman Tim Brown outlined a budget Friday that calls for $250 million more for roads each year and more than dou-

bles the increase Pence sought for schools.

Pence says he’s “disappointed” with the move and will “protect taxpayers” from the House GOP plan in ongoing budget negotiations.

Pelath said Friday the House should vote on Pence’s $500 million proposed cut to Indiana’s personal income tax.

He vigorously denied that his stance was a political move to back House Republicans into a corner.

KENTUCKY Keeneland seeks to build track near Corbin

LEXINGTON — Lexington thoroughbred racetrack Keeneland has partnered with Nevadabased Full House Resorts in an effort to purchase land and build a Quarter Horse racetrack in the Corbin area.

Keeneland president and CEO Bill Thomason told the Lexington Herald-Leader in an exclusive interview about the plans.

“We think we’re putting things forward that will be a great help to the industry and the sport,” Thomason said.

“We’re looking to the long term, looking to do something big, and it will be special. ...

We think the community will embrace it and enjoy it and it will provide economic gains.”

The plan would include purchasing the Thunder Ridge harness track in Prestonsburg and reinventing it.

Keeneland leaders said they envision a “Keeneland-esque” facility that would offer simulcasting and instant racing in addition to a boutique summertime Quarter Horse meet of about a dozen race dates.

Bill OK’D to bolster human trafficking law

FRANKFORT — Human trafficking laws in Kentucky would be strengthened to better protect victims while adding more punishments for offenders under a bill that passed the House Friday.

The chamber voted unanimously, 95-0, in favor of the measure, which now proceeds to the Senate for consideration.

The House passed similar legislation last year, but it died in the Senate.

The bill bars authorities from charging victims with prostitution and instead mandates that they receive treatment and other protections, such as protective custody, during an investigation. The bill also would require offenders to forfeit property used in forced labor crimes and pay a $10,000 fine, all of which would finance a fund for Kentucky’s human trafficking victims.

Indiana appeals court won’t review coal-gas deal

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Court of Appeals has decided not to conduct a more detailed review of a nearly $3 billion coal-gasification plant proposed for southern Indiana that’s also the target of legislation before state lawmakers.

The court turned down a request by a group of gas companies and environmental groups for it to scrutinize the Indiana Finance Authority’s 30-year contract with the developers of the Rockport plant. That contract calls for the finance authority to buy the plant’s synthetic gas at a fixed rate and then resell it on the open market.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that the court’s decision could shift the legal battle over the plant to the Indiana Supreme Court.

“That’s certainly going to be considered,” said Mike Roeder, a spokesman for Evansvillebased Vectren Corp., which is leading the legal and lobbying efforts against the plant.

Vectren and other opponents had wanted the appeals court

to review the Indiana Utility Regulatory Committee’s previous review of the contract.

Thursday’s court decision came as the plant’s developers told a state Senate committee that a bill the panel is considering would kill the project.

Mark Lubbers, the Indiana project manager for the coalgasification plant’s financier Leucadia National Corp., called the court’s decision “yet another loss for Vectren.”

“They can’t win on the merits, so Vectren is trying to pressure our legislators into submission with a high-profile media campaign and an army of lobbyists,” he said.

That campaign includes full-page advertisements in newspapers across Indiana this week that focus on a bill the Senate Utility Committee heard Thursday morning. That bill, sponsored by Sen. Doug Eckerty, R-Yorktown, would require rebates to consumers every three years if the plant’s synthetic gas costs too much.

The 30-year deal would tie 17 percent of Hoosier gas users’ bills to the Rockport

plant’s rate.

Opponents point to the current nationwide shale gas boom and said they expect natural gas to sell for an amount cheaper than that in the coming decades.

Lubbers said natural gas rates are historically volatile and that Indiana should rely in part on more stable coal prices.

“The great trick that’s being played on us as we try to evaluate this contract is focusing all the attention on the 17 eggs that we took out of the 100-egg basket,” he said.

Lubbers and other developers of the Rockport plant also

argued that Indiana needs a more diverse energy portfolio.

They said the state’s contract with a company that will convert coal to synthetic natural gas would accomplish just that.

Senate Utility Committee Chairman Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, said Thursday that he plans to offer an amendment to the bill and vote on whether to advance the bill on to the full chamber at its meeting next week.

Legislative leaders have said they would like the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to take another look at the project.

Stumbo: Horse tracks could be pension solution

No Checking or Savings Account for Direct Deposit?

FRANKFORT, Ky. — House Speaker Greg Stumbo says horse racing tracks could generate up to $30 million a year in tax revenue for the state’s financially troubled pension system by installing slot-like machines and then taxing the proceeds.

In Kentucky, actual slot machines are banned, but two horse tracks in the state have installed slot-like machines, called instant racing machines, that allow people to wager on the outcomes of past horse races.

Stumbo said he believes instant racing could generate wagers totaling $1 billion a year if expanded to additional tracks. Taxing those wages could be a boon for the pension system.

participant, said funds raised by the group will return to the area and benefit local Special Olympic teams and participants.

“This is our big fundraiser,” Gatke said.

The local Polar Plunge team raised nearly $3,000 for Special Olympic events.

About half of the money returns to the local area, while 40 percent of the funds will go to the state organization and 10 percent goes to fees for use of the lake.

The day of the 2013 Polar Plunge event was the coldest yet in her experience, Gatke said. It was a chilly 40 degrees when participants ran or walked into the water from the boat dock area.

“It’s only a couple of minutes, but it feels like an hour,” she said before the plunge.

“Maybe they’ll have pity on us and not go as far (into the lake).”

But just like previous years, seven divers from an underwater search and rescue team formed a semi-circle in the lake to cheer and encourage participants as they splashed through the cold waters during the plunge.

Jean Peddie tried to keep her mind off of the cold water before the group was called to the staging area.

“I’m just going to walk in and keep my eye on the line,” she said.

Participant Megan Mitchell expected the water to be cold, but she wasn’t prepared for exactly how cold it was.

“This was the coldest so far,” Mitchell said, “but it was worth it.”

Switzerland County High School student and participant Brooke Todd agreed.

“It was really cold,” she said after the plunge. “My toes, I can’t even feel them.”

the 2014-15 school year.

Erin Tuttle, a leader of Hoosiers Against Common Core, said she began researching the standards a couple of years ago after she became frustrated about how her third-grade son was being taught addition and subtraction at an Indianapolis parochial school that was using the standards to meet its state accreditation.

She said lawmakers have a responsibility to ensure the best education for Indiana’s children and that she can’t understand why supporters of the standards oppose a proposal for a new round of public hearings around the state.

“I think it is the responsibility of the state Legislature to make sure that the people who are charged with curriculum, standards and testing are doing a complete and through vetting before committing our tax dollars to something that could be moving us in the wrong direction,” Tuttle said.

The Indiana Chamber of Commerce and other groups that have backed the state’s private school voucher program and expansion of charter schools oppose the push to withdraw Indiana from the math and reading benchmarks.

Democratic state schools superintendent Glenda Ritz, who took office last month, has said she wants more review of the standards but hasn’t called for major changes.

Board of Education member Neil Pickett said he believed the standards underwent a full review before they were adopted in 2010 and that help ensure schools are preparing children to compete in a global economy. Pickett, an adviser to former Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels, said the benchmarks only set what material students should master in their classes.

“Making those common across the country makes perfect sense,” he said. “It’s not a rejection or an imposition on local control. It still affords a tremendous amount of flexibility and autonomy to states and local entities.”

Bill sponsor Sen. Scott Schneider, R-Indianapolis, and other Common Core critics maintain the initiative has led to

dunked – by choice – after going into the lake.

“It was really, really, really cold,” he said, but the temperature didn’t discourage him from considering another plunge next year. “I’m going to do it again.”

Derek Hughes, a Madison Consolidated High School student and participant, wore a bathing suit to keep wet clothing from sticking to her skin after coming out of the water.

“Whatever gets in the water numbs after a while, so it’s easier to walk,” Hughes said, “But it’s still cold.”

Money raised helps to fund year-round sports training and athletic competition for more than 20 Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Eleven counties were represented on Saturday in the Area 2 Polar Plunge, with nearly 400 participants running, walking and splashing through the water.

Several others had planned to participate and fundraised for the event, but the cold temperatures kept them home or on the shore to cheer on their friends, Gatke said.

Polar Plunge participants from Jefferson and Switzerland counties included: Amy Gatke, Kelly Laskowski, Jean Peddie, Megan Mitchell, Sarah Bowyer, Derek Hughes, Taylor Topie, Adeli Kine, Eve Galbreath, Bradley Cox, Brooke Todd, McKenna Edwards, Erika Coy, Vicky Abbott, Isaac Hart, Kodi Thayer and Angela Grubbs.

Continued from Page A1 “All we’ve heard are positives,” she said. “Everyone’s excited.”

Even though she’s excited about the new building, the move will be a little emotional for her. Brady, who has been employed with King’s Daughters’ Health for seven years, plans to work in the Emergency Room at the downtown building on Saturday before shutting the doors one last time.

“I’ll be a little tearful,” she said. “That’s the only place I’ve worked as a nurse.”

Speakers during the ribboncutting ceremony highlighted the historical ties of the downtown King’s Daughters’ Health building with the community.

The first hospital in Madison opened in 1899 after 12 women organized the Bethany Circle in 1896, King’s Daughters’ Health President and CEO Roger Allman said during the ceremony.

Thanks to the generosity of Drusilla Cravens, a home opened its doors as a hospital dedicated to serving others by providing medical care to the community.

Allman said the hospital staff and officials began to identify changes needed for the hospital about five to six years ago. The surgery suites in the downtown hospital were too

“We just could not meet those needs in the current facility,” he said.

King’s Daughters’ Health officials broke ground on a new facility in November 2010.

“It has been a long road to get to this point,” Allman said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Obama offering backup immigration plan WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is downplaying its draft immigration proposal as merely a backup plan if lawmakers don’t come up with an overhaul of their own. It won’t be necessary, Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike are telling the Obama administration.

White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said Sunday that President Barack Obama wants to “be prepared” in case the small bipartisan group of senators fails to devise a plan for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States. In response, lawmakers assured the White House they are working on their own plan — and warned that Obama would be heading toward failure if the White House gets ahead of them.

“We will be prepared with our own plan if these ongoing talks between Republicans and Democrats up on Capitol Hill break down,” McDonough said, adding he’s optimistic they would not crumble.

But he was equally realistic about the fierce partisanship on Capitol Hill.

“Well, let’s make sure that it doesn’t have to be proposed,” McDonough said of the president’s pitch, first reported on USA Today’s website late Saturday.

Even so, the administration is moving forward on its own immigration agenda should one of Obama’s top priorities get derailed.

The administration’s proposal would create a visa for those in the country illegally and allow them to become legal permanent residents within eight years. The proposal also requires businesses to know the immigration status of their workers and adds more funding for border security.

patient care, Allman said, and patient care will remain the hospital’s main goal with the opening of the new building.

This new facility, which came in ahead of schedule and under budget, sits on 96 acres and will allow King’s Daughters’ Health room to expand when new healthcare advances become available.

Reenie Getz, chairwoman of the hospital board, recognized that the original idea of those 12 founding members of the Bethany Circle will continue

to live on through this new facility.

“Today King’s Daughters’ Health opens this new facility to continue that dream,” Getz said.

The Emergency Room opens to the first patients at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Officials plan to begin transporting patients from the downtown hospital to the new facilities Saturday morning as well. The entire transition should take just a few hours to complete.

WEATHER NATION A storm system in the Northern Plains will push eastward into the Upper Midwest on Monday, while an associated front reaches from the Upper Midwest through the Southern Plains. Energy from this system and cold temperatures in the north will support more snow shower development in parts of the Northern Rockies and Northern Plains through the Upper Great Lakes as the system shifts eastward.

Meanwhile, to the South, ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will allow rain showers along the western and central Gulf Coasts to spread northward ahead of the aforementioned front through the Ohio Valley and lower tier of the Upper Great Lakes.

Due to the fast moving nature of this storm, rainfall amounts across the area are only

expected to reach up to an inch in most locations. Some showers in southern Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas may become accompanied by isolated thunderstorm activity during the afternoon.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday have ranged from a morning low of -25 degrees at Land O’ Lakes, Wis. to a high of 77 degrees at El Centro, Calif.

Legislature backs delay for farmland tax hike

INDIANAPOLIS — New calculations for property taxes on Indiana farmland would be delayed for a year under a proposal approved by the state Legislature.

The Indiana House voted unanimously Monday in favor of the delay that the Senate approved last month.

The bill would stop the state from using updated soil quality figures that were projected to lead to an average 25 percent increase in tax payments for farm owners.

Supporters of the delay say that the new calculations could lead to $57 million in property taxes being shifted to farmland.

The bill requires state tax officials and Purdue University agriculture researchers to prepare a review of the soil productivity measurement for the Legislature to consider next year.

The measure now goes to Gov. Mike Pence for his consideration.

Hemp bill faces challenges in House

LOUISVILLE — An industrial hemp bill rode a quick spurt through the Kentucky Senate, but the pace will slow in a more skeptical House, where its top leader has doubts about the crop’s marketability and a key committee chairman has questions he wants answered.

The bill cleared the Republican-led Senate on a 31-6 vote last week, days after coming out of committee. Its next stop is expected in the House Agriculture and Small Business Committee. The panel’s chairman, Rep. Tom McKee, said the bill will likely get a hearing next week.

McKee, who represents a farming district in north-central Kentucky, said he hasn’t made up his mind about the bill, which would license hemp growers and strictly regulate the crop if the federal government lifts its ban on the plant.

“I’m like our members, there are a lot of questions I want answered,” the Cynthiana Democrat said last week.

Hemp, once a Kentucky staple, vanished from U.S. farms decades ago when the federal government classified it as a controlled substance related to marijuana. Hemp has a negligible content of THC, the psychoactive compound that gives marijuana users a high.

LEXINGTON — A Scott County man is facing his second trial in the 2007 shooting death of his parents after the first trial ended in a mistrial.

Jury selection begins Monday in Scott County in the trial of 43-year-old James Anthony Gray, who is facing two counts of murder and tampering with physical evidence.

James and Vivian Gray were found shot in the head in their northern Scott County home in 2007 and investigators said it did not appear to have been a break-in because no valuables were removed.

In the first trial last year, the jury deliberated for more than 10 hours before deciding that they could not reach a unanimous decision. Gray repeatedly testified that he did not commit the crime.

Trimble County residents can expect new insurance premium tax this year

By RENEE BRUCK

Courier Staff Writer rbruck@madisoncourier.com

Most Trimble County residents should expect an increase on insurance premiums because of a new county tax later this year.

Magistrates approved the second reading of an ordinance that will collect a 5 percent tax on any insurance policy covering casualty, automobile, inland marine, fire and allied perils.

The Fiscal Court decided to drop the tax on health and life insurance during the second reading of the ordinance at a regular meeting on Monday.

Residents in Bedford who already pay the city’s insurance tax on their premiums will not have to pay additional fees for the county’s tax, magistrates noted during the first reading of the ordinance.

Magistrates hope the new tax on insurance policies will help the county make up a $500,000 deficit in the budget caused by a decrease in landfill usage.

Officials do not have an exact figure as to how much this new tax will generate, Trimble

County Judge-Executive Jerry Powell said during last month’s meeting.

Magistrates unanimously approved the ordinance, which will go into effect on July 1.

Also during the meeting, magistrates discussed potential repairs needed to the Courthouse’s heating and cooling system, as well as the county’s EMS building.

Solid Waste Officer Bruce Pyles told magistrates the heating and cooling system no longer works as it should because of issues with the software program that runs the system. The company that installed the system went out of business about two years ago, Pyles said.

One board with the system has gone down, causing the heat to run at a constant 85 degrees. The county uses the air conditioning to keep rooms at a comfortable temperature, which has increased energy usage, he said.

Pyles noted the software system needed to be replaced to correct the issue.

“I’ve been told by two people

(the heating and cooling system) has to run on the software system,” he said.

The Fiscal Court plans to look into other companies with software similar to the Courthouse’s current system before making a decision.

Powell also discussed cracks in the floor and walls of the Trimble County EMS station.

“Sharon (Law, director of the county’s EMS) said they weren’t there until we got the generator,” Powell said.

Powell said the building also has other problems with water entering during rain and other severe weather, condensation in the light fixtures and mold growing on the side of the building.

“We need to work on that,” he said.

Powell said the generator might be creating vibrations that have caused the damage to the floors and walls, even though the generator was placed on a concrete slab.

Magistrates agreed to look into the issue before deciding on a plan of action.

In other business:

• Marc Stuart, the new general manager of Valley View Landfill, attended the meeting to introduce himself to the Fiscal Court. Stuart hopes to have updates on the landfill for future meetings, he said.

• Trimble County resident Sonia McElroy, a consulting party for the Sierra Club, asked magistrates to support preservation of historical landmarks in Trimble County.

Currently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other organizations are researching the possibility that the Wentworth Lime Cave on LG&E property in Trimble County was used as a holding location for the Underground Railroad.

“Even if it is (a landmark), it could still be destroyed,” McElroy said.

Magistrates unanimously agreed to issue a letter showing their support of preserving the county’s historic landmarks.

• Following an executive session, Powell told the audience county take-home vehicles will be limited to one vehicle for the road department and one vehicle for animal control.

ued a tabled discussion on a new printer for the office. The city’s printer had problems the last few weeks and needs to be fixed or replaced.

“I’m in favor of leasing because if we want to update or upgrade, we can do it,” Commissioner Todd Pollock said. “Technology changes all the time.”

The commissioners unanimously agreed to a 60-month contract at $120 per month for the new printing system.

Also during the meeting, Commissioner Frank Floyd told commissioners he noticed that the flag at the city’s cemetery wasn’t illuminated at

night. The city either needed to purchase a light for the flag or take it down, he said.

“We should not have a flag up if you don’t have it lit at night,” Floyd said.

Commissioners agreed to purchase a solar-powered light with a battery backup so the flag would be properly displayed in the day, as well as at night.

In other business: • Stacie Rockaway, the Western District field representative for Congressman Thomas Massie, attended the meeting to introduce herself to the city commission, as well as update

commissioners on news from Washington, D.C. • Commissioners tabled the discussion of a payment window at City Hall. Pollock talked about the need for the window to reduce loitering and to increase security.

The commission decided to advertise the work for bid before deciding whether to cut a space for a window into the wall or add a glass partition to the already existing counter.

• Commissioners entered into an executive session to discuss personnel matters. No action was taken following the session.

Bedford approves fee for bounced checks

Bedford will begin charging sewer customers a fee for check payment that do not clear because of insufficient funds.

Commissioners approved a measure on Monday that a $15 return check fee will be assessed on any sewer payment that is returned because of a lack of funds in a bank account or because of a closed bank account. The fee matches the fees assessed by the Trimble County Water District for insufficient funds.

Purdue agriculture school gets $65M from anonymous donors

WEST LAFAYETTE — A couple asking to remain anonymous made a $65 million gift to Purdue University’s College of Agriculture, the largest donation the university has ever received from individuals, the school announced Monday.

Purdue President Mitch Daniels released a statement calling the gift “a tremendous vote of confidence” for the university and its agriculture school.

The anonymous couple pledged the money as an estate gift that will go to the school following their deaths, said Purdue spokesman Chris Sigurdson. He said the gift is currently worth $65 million but that will continue to grow.

The money will come to the College of Agriculture without any restrictions, meaning decisions on how the money is spent will be left up to the college.

“Typically a lot of gifts that come in from individuals are dedicated to some specific effort, cause, initiative or program,” Sigurdson said. “When you get this level of unrestricted, that’s pretty impressive.”

Continued from Page A1 The 8,583 cubic yards of concrete used in the project could have covered four football fields with concrete nearly a foot thick. There’s also 208 miles of metal studs in the structure – almost enough to stretch from downtown Madison to Madison, Tenn., just north of the state’s capital.

Nearly 175 tons of duct work was placed throughout the ceilings to make sure the building’s temperatures remain at a comfortable level for patients and visitors.

The building also features over 1.5 million linear feet, or 295 miles, of wire. If stretched out, the wire could reach from Louisville to Chicago.

King’s Daughters’ Health President and CEO Roger Allman said just the wiring for the computer systems in the building was quite significant.

“The computer cabling is just astounding,” he said.

There’s still room for additional wiring in the ceilings should future technological advances require it.

Should it be needed, nearly 35,000 linear feet – nearly 9 miles – of sprinkler pipe will help protect the building should an emergency arise.

Set side-by-side, the pipe could reach from U.S. 421 and Main Street in Madison to the stoplight at State Road 56 and Thornton Road in Hanover.

In all, the building has 2,005,000 square feet, or 46 acres, of drywall. The drywall throughout the building would cover a little less than half of the hospital property on State Road 62 if spread out, and nearly 25,000 gallons of drywall mud was used throughout the buildings.

For the exterior, nearly 214,000 eight-inch bricks cover the building. Placed end-to-end the bricks would extend 27 miles – from downtown Madison to Versailles.

So far, nearly 4,500 area residents have already visited the location for community and employee open houses, spokesman Dave Ommen said, but the facility opens to its very first patients at 7 a.m. on Saturday.

Continued from Page A1 students would be too great an extra cost.

Rep. Todd Huston, R-Fishers, said he was proud to send his children to public schools but maintained that the Legislature should do what it can to help families who believe a private school is best for their children.

“The stories that we hear from parents are amazing,” Huston said. “The stories we hear from kids are amazing.”

The fate of the expansion in the Republican-controlled Senate is uncertain. Some of its leaders have questioned making exceptions from the 2011 compromise on the one-year public school requirement.

Rep. Terri Austin, D-Anderson, held up a poster board during Thursday’s debate with a quote from then-Gov. Mitch Daniels saying public schools would first get a chance to win over students and parents.

“Let’s not make this the year that we renege on our agreements and promises,” Austin said. “We can give it a few more years and see if it works.”

Democrats had also been fighting a proposal advanced

by House Education Committee Chairman Robert Behning, R-Indianapolis, that would have shifted voucher administration from the Department of Education to an agency under Republican Gov. Mike Pence.

Behning had cited concerns about when the agency would begin accepting voucher applications and about schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz’s involvement in the lawsuit against the voucher program before she won election in November.

Behning said he agreed with the decision by House Speaker Brian Bosma to pull the bill from consideration because Ritz told him the Department of Education would begin accepting voucher applications in March.

Ritz said Wednesday she didn’t believe she should be treated differently than any previous state superintendent.

She said she would follow her oath of office and properly implement any laws regardless of her personal feelings.

foods, such as several gas stations and many Dollar General locations.

Currently, the health department inspects all food establishments quarterly but the locations without a full kitchen or prep station will now only be inspected twice a year.

Monroe said the state calls the switch a “risk-based assessment.” She expects the change to allow inspectors to focus on establishments with full-service kitchens.

• Monroe also reported the health department will release an annual report in The Madison Courier on March 2 that includes services and personnel information. It will be the first of what will become a yearly published report by the health department.

Reed said if the service isn’t needed, she would not pursue WTH’s assistance, adding that she sees the contract as wise short-term solution.

In other business: • Health Department Administrator Tammy Monroe reported a number of changes made to the Jefferson County food ordinances, which have already been approved by the board of health.

to the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constituion. “When he continued to speak, that was an indication to me he wanted to continue speaking.”

Chief Deputy Prosecutor D.J. Mote argued that case law suggests officers do not have to ask clarifying statements about requests for lawyers and a person of interest must make a “clear, unequivocal” request for an attorney.

In Chadwell’s case, the word “rather” was used to show some skepticism as to whether or not an attorney was truly needed, Mote said.

“That’s not an unequivocal assertion,” he argued.

Magrath said just because Chadwell continued talking, it

didn’t diminish his request for a lawyer.

Circuit Court Judge Darrell Auxier agreed with the defense, saying that anything Chadwell said after the request for an attorney cannot be entered into evidence in the case.

“The defendant’s reply was clear enough for a reasonable police officer to understand the statement as a request for an attorney,” Auxier wrote in his ruling.

Mote said Thursday that the ruling was a “significant blow” to the strength of the prosecution’s case. Mote said the prosecutor’s office will analyze the facts of the case to determine whether or not to continue.

WORLD NEWS DIGEST Prosecution to wrap up Pistorius bail hearing

PRETORIA, South Africa — The fourth and likely final day of Oscar Pistorius’ bail hearing opened on Friday, with the magistrate then to rule if the double-amputee athlete can be freed before trial or if he has to remain in custody over the shooting death of his girlfriend.

The prosecution is expected to complete its arguments opposing bail. The defense rested on Thursday, and Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair can issue a ruling on bail at any time after arguments finish.

Pistorius is charged with one count of premediated murder over the Feb. 14 killing of Reeva Steenkamp. He says the shooting was accidental because he thought she was a dangerous intruder inside his home.

Steenkamp’s Valentine’s Day killing has seized the world’s attention and there was intense focus Friday on if Pistorius would be released, and if so, with what conditions.

Pistorius’ hands trembled as he said “good morning, your worship” as the court session began in Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, in South Africa’s capital.

Peterson claims innocence, gets 38 years in prison

JOLIET, Ill. — Drew Peterson showed nearly no emotion during his trial, yet the once famously jocular ex-Illinois police officer screamed out his innocence before he was sentenced to 38 years in prison for his third wife’s death in an outburst that suggested reality may be settling in.

“I did not kill Kathleen!”

Peterson shouted as he leaned into a courtroom microphone Thursday, emphasizing each of the five words.

Without missing a beat, his dead wife’s sister, Susan Doman, shouted back, “Yes, you did! You liar!” before the judge ordered sheriff’s deputies to remove her from the courtroom.

For years, Peterson casually dismissed and even joked about suggestions he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004, or that he was behind the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

His sudden explosion of fury

Thursday as he stepped up to address the judge who would sentence him for Savio’s death left spectators gasping. Lead state prosecutor James Glasgow said it exposed the real Drew Peterson — the one more than capable of murder.

Snowstorm shuts down airports, blankets Kansas

DES MOINES, Iowa — A major snow storm that shuttered airports in Missouri, stranded truckers in Illinois and buried parts of Kansas in knee-deep powder created a messy and dangerous commute this morning as it crawled northeast.

Wind gusts of 30 mph were expected to churn-up snow that fell overnight in southern Wisconsin, where forecasters were warning Milwaukee-area residents of slick roads and reduced visibility. The same was expected in northeast Iowa, where residents could wake up to as much as 7 inches of new snow, while nearly 200 snowplows were deployed overnight in Chicago.

At a Travel Centers of America truck stop in the central Illinois city of Effingham, all of the 137 parking spaces were filled by truckers unwilling to drive through the storm overnight.

“When it gets really bad, they like to camp out,” cashier Tia Schneider said Thursday night, noting that some drivers called ahead. “They can make reservations from 500 miles away to make sure a space is available.”

The storm system swirled to the north and east late Thursday, its snow, sleet and freezing rain prompting winter storm across the region — and leaving some impressive snow accumulations.

Gillespie told reporters the shooting was sparked by an argument in the valet area of the nearby Aria hotel-casino, and spilled over to one of the busiest intersections on the Las Vegas Strip. As bullets flew from the Range Rover, the Maserati ran a red light and smashed into a taxi that exploded into flames, killing the driver and a passenger. The driver of the Maserati was also killed, and his passenger was wounded.

Police have not released the identities of the victims.

Government payrolls shrink amid cuts

WASHINGTON — Republicans and other fiscal conservatives keep insisting on more federal austerity and a smaller government. Without much fanfare or acknowledgement, they’ve already gotten much of both.

Spending by federal, state and local governments on payrolls, equipment, buildings, teachers, emergency workers, defense programs and other core governmental functions has been shrinking steadily since the deep 2007-2009 recession and as the anemic recovery continues.

This recent shrinkage has largely been obscured by an increase in spending on benefit payments to individuals under “entitlement” programs, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits.

T h e J e ff e r s o n C o u n t y Sheriff’s Department is investigating two fires that occurred Monday night and have been called suspicious.

Detective Capt. Keith Hartman said one of the fires was set at a vacant mobile home near the intersection of Slate and Ford roads in Republican Township. The other fire was set at a vacant home and garage in the 4000 block of North County Road 800-W in Smyrna Township.

Hartman said both homes were destroyed by the fire.

Anyone with information should contact Hartman at the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Department at (812) 2652648.

Permits issued

Three conditional use permits were issued by the City Zoning Board of Appeals Wednesday.

• The Knights of Columbus Lodge, 2250 Lanier Drive, was issued a one-year renewal for the use of a second mobile home.

• Harold Perry, 212 Sixth St., received a one-year renewal for a mobile home.

• A first-time conditional use permit for a mobile home was issued to to Barry Speer, 4010 W. Interstate Block Road.

The board tabled a permit for a tobacco packaging business because there was no representative present at the meeting to speak for the business. The issue was tabled at last month’s meeting as well.

Police hunting for Las Vegas shooter

LAS VEGAS — Police searched Friday for a Range Rover with dark tinted windows and custom rims that set off a fiery crash on the Las Vegas Strip when someone in the luxury SUV opened fire on a Maserati in a scene that onlookers described as worthy of an action flick.

Three people were killed and at least six more were injured in what marked the latest in a series of violent episodes in Las Vegas in recent months.

WEATHER NATION A strong winter storm will continue to impact the Central and Eastern U.S. on Friday. The system is expected to continue moving eastward over the Mississippi River Valley, bringing heavy snow to the Upper Midwest and Mid-Mississippi River Valley, with more freezing rain moving across the Tennessee Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic states. Snowfall totals will range from 4 to 7 inches for the Upper Midwest, with ice accumulation up to a half of an inch possible for the Eastern Valleys. Thus, winter storm warnings and advisories have been issued from the Central Plains through the Great Lakes and into the Upper Ohio River Valley.

Meanwhile, to the south, expect showers and thunderstorms to persist for the Southeast as the system creates a warm front that continues pulling moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico.

Thunderstorm development is likely anywhere from the Lower Mississippi River Valley through the Carolinas and into Virginia. .

Continued from Page B1 the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship — the clincher came on an impressive 83-66 win over top-seeded Transylvania on Sunday.

The Panthers are playing their best basketball at the right time and coupled with the familiarity of their opponent, are as confident as they have ever been for an NCAA opener.

Senior Courtney Prater, who was a sophomore at Anderson University the last time Hanover reached the NCAA Tournament, is the Panthers’ leading scorer and rebounder at 16.3 points and 7.0 rebounds, respectively. She is just the third player in school history to tally more than 1,200 career points (1,289) and 700 rebounds (764).

Sophomore Alicia Hopkins averages 12.8 points, 4.6 steals, 3.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds per outing. She set a school singleseason record this year with 128 steals.

Arguably the team’s best player over the past few weeks has been senior Katie Gahimer.

The North Decatur High School product is averaging 10.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest but has nearly doubled that output during a span that saw her set three personal bests in scoring in five games.

Gahimer torched Transylvania for 28 points in the HCAC championship to earn tournament Most Valuable Player honors.

According to Jones, it was simply a matter of instilling some confidence in her 5-foot-10 forward.

“The talent has always been there and we knew that Katie was capable of playing like she has been,” Jones said. “She is just so confident and loose right now

Of course Hanover’s postseason experience adds to the team’s confidence. The Panthers are making their second NCAA appearance in three years and Jones believes memories of 2011 can only help.

“We have two seniors and a junior who were on that team and any experience will help,” Jones said. “I think there was a bit of an ‘awe’ factor the last time and I don’t think it will be as bad this time.”

Friday’s other game will feature one of the nation’s elite programs in Hope College.

The Flying Dutch are making their 14th appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.

They have a 26-1 record this season and are ranked No. 2 in the nation in both the USA Today and d3hoops.com polls.

Hope posted a 15-1 record to tie Calvin (Mich.) for the MIAA’s regular-season crown. The Flying Dutch defeated Calvin 62-59 to win the conference’s tournament title.

Hope enters the tournament riding a 12-game winning streak.

The Flying Dutch have not lost since a 64-59 setback to Calvin

on Jan. 12.

Senior forward Courtney Cust leads Hope with 12.0 points per outing and scored a career-high 29 points in the MIAA championship game. Senior guard Liz Ellis adds 10.3 points per game.

Hope has appeared in the NCAA Division III championship game three times. The Flying Dutch fell to Washington 65-59 in the 2010 finals. They edged St. John Fisher (N.Y.) 65-63 to win the 1990 title and defeated Southern Maine 69-56 in the 2006 championship.

Wheaton is in the NCAA field for the eighth time and first since 2007. The Thunder enter the tourney with a 22-5 overall record, including a second-place finish in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin with an 11-3 mark.

Wheaton has split its last four games, including a 61-52 loss to Cathage (Wis.) in the finals of the CCIW tournament.

Senior guard Brooke Olson leads the Thunder in scoring with 16.0 points per outing. Junior forward Maris Hovee ranks first on the squad with 9.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per contest.

The Hanover/Ohio Northern and Hope/Wheaton winners will meet in the second round on Saturday, March 2.

Hanover lacrosse falls short in comeback,10-8 COURIER STAFF REPORT sports@madisoncourier.com

Hanover outscored Rhodes (Tenn.) 6-1 in the second half but fell short in a 10-8 men’s lacrosse loss Wednesday in Memphis.

Trailing 9-2 at halftime, Hanover scored three times in the third quarter to trim the margin to 10-5. The Panthers netted three goals to eventually pull within 10-8 with two minutes left in the contest, but were able to generate just one shot down the stretch.

Nick Hermes had two goals and an assist while Luke Karnick scored twice to lead Hanover’s offense. The Panthers piled up 50 shots in the setback, coming just three attempts short of matching the school mark for shots in a game (53).

Chris Baney, Angelo Butturi, Zac Cheatle and Matt Weber each tallied goals for Hanover (0-2).

Rhodes (1-3) scored the first four goals of the contest before Baney put the Panthers on the scoreboard with five minutes left in the first period. The Lynx went ahead 10-2 just three seconds into the third quarter, then Hanover mounted its comeback.

Hermes scored with 7:23 left in the frame and Karnick followed

shortly with his second of the match. Weber, off an assist from Mike Gordon, netted a goal with only five seconds left in the period to cut the deficit in half (10-5).

The Panthers had three cracks at the net before Hermes fed Butturi for a goal with 9:20 on the clock. Hermes then added his second goal of the contest off a pass from Stephen Farrow with three minutes to go.

Cheatle, with an assist from Weber, scored with 2:21 remaining for the final margin.

Hanover outshot the Lynx 5035, including 29-18 in shots on goal. Karnick led the attack with 11 shots.

Goalie Addison Sears allowed nine goals with three saves in the first half. Austin Czisny relieved in the third period and surrendered one goal while posting five saves the rest of the way.

The teams split 22 face-offs and the Panthers had a 52-48 edge in ground balls. Tim Gruber won all six of his face-offs.

Derek Coe collected six ground balls to lead Hanover (0-2). Sam Kampert and Justin Winkler each had five.

Hanover visits Centre (Ky.) on Saturday.

Indiana

White given two weeks to file papers

NOBLESVILLE — A judge has set a March 15 deadline for the attorney for former Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White to file papers explaining why he deserves a new trial on vote fraud and theft charges.

Hamilton Superior Court Judge Steven Nation set the deadline this week for attorney Andrea Ciobanu to file White’s petition for post-conviction relief petition. Nation also scheduled a June 4 hearing on the petition.

Special prosecutor Dan Sigler said that Nation didn’t rule on prosecutors’ motion for White to begin serving his sentence of one year on home detention.

White has remained free since he was convicted a year ago on three counts of voter fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of theft. The convictions forced him from office.

New review still expected for school grading system

INDIANAPOLIS — The speaker of the Indiana House says he expects legislators will order a review of the state’s AF grading scale for individual schools.

Differing bills that would have done so failed to advance

by House and Senate deadlines this week, but Republican Speaker Brian Bosma says lawmakers will take up the issue again this legislative session.

Bosma says he believes most legislators believe the state Board of Education needs to make changes to the A-F grading system that was first used in 2011.

Many local school officials have complained about the grading system, and Democratic state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz made replacing it a top campaign issue last year.

The A-F scale was backed by former Superintendent Tony Bennett despite opposition from Indiana Chamber of Commerce and others.

Feds seek last victims of discriminatory lending

INDIANAPOLIS — Federal authorities are looking for more than 400 African-Americans and Latinos in Indiana who might be eligible to collect part of a $335 million settlement between Countrywide Financial Corp. and the Justice Department.

U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett in Indianapolis said victims of discriminatory lending practices by Countrywide from 2004 to 2008 have only until March 29 to contact the settlement administrator for a payment.

House speaker: Judd could be formidable

FRANKFORT — Kentucky House Speaker Greg Stumbo says Ashley Judd would be a formidable candidate if she runs for the U.S. Senate next year.

Stumbo told reporters Thursday in Frankfort that the actress and activist is bright and articulate and would appeal to voters because she’s a “fresh face.”

Judd, a Kentucky native who resides in Tennessee, has said she’s considering a run for the Kentucky Senate seat held

by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

McConnell has already opened a campaign office and has a bulging campaign fund as he prepares to seek a new six-year term in 2014.

Stumbo, a Prestonsburg Democrat, says it is a winnable race for Democrats. But he says Judd would have a tough time carrying eastern Kentucky unless she changes her position on mountaintop removal mining. She is an outspoken opponent of the coal-removal method.

KOKOMO — Chrysler is investing millions in the Kokomo, Indiana, area as it shifts most of its vehicles to new transmissions that save fuel and better suit the driving habits of Americans.

The automaker will invest nearly $400 million at four plants in the Kokomo, Indiana, area, adding 1,250 jobs to what it says it the largest transmission factory complex in the world.

The plants will make fuelefficient eight- and nine-speed automatic transmissions.

Chrysler plans to use the new nine-speed transmission in key front-wheel-drive vehicles such as the Dodge Dart compact, which has lagged sales expectations. The transmission also will go into a new Chrysler 200 midsize sedan early next year and the Jeep Cherokee midsize SUV, which will replace the aging Jeep Liberty in the summer.

It’s a big deal for Kokomo — and the economy of central Indiana — considering that the complex was in danger of being shut down just a few years ago.

Kokomo will also add the Ram pickup, by far Chrysler’s top-selling vehicle, to the line-up of cars that it makes

al workers will start at $15.28 per hour, about half the wage of longtime UAW workers.

Chrysler needs the extra factory capacity to handle growing sales. Its sales grew to 1.65 million last year from just over 931,000 in 2009. The company has added nearly 8,000 hourly jobs since leaving bankruptcy protection in 2009 and invested almost $5.2 billion in its U.S. factories. About $1.6 billion of that will have been spent in the Kokomo area.

Marchionne also said Thursday that he would prefer that Fiat buy the part of Chrysler it doesn’t own from a UAW health care trust for retirees. The other option is a public stock offering.

Fiat now owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, with the trust holding the rest. The trust wants cash to help pay retiree benefits, and both sides are sparring in court about the price.

economic hole right here in central Indiana,” said George Maus, president of one of the United Auto Workers locals in the city.

But people in the company’s powertrain operations sold the CEO on keeping Kokomo open.

Shortly after he started running Chrysler, Marchionne came to Kokomo to tell workers of the decision. But company sales were still bleak at the time.

“When Sergio told us he was going to add 700 to 800 jobs, we thought he was crazy,” Maus recalled.

Now his daughter has been hired at one of the transmission plants, and Maus is optimistic for the future with the new fuelefficient transmissions.

With the added jobs coming by early 2014, Chrysler will employ about 7,300 workers in the Kokomo area. The addition-

House still working on redistricting proposal

FRANKFORT — House lawmakers are still working on the always politically divisive issue of legislative redistricting.

State Rep. Brent Yonts, chairman of the House State Government Committee, said Thursday a redistricting bill is nearly complete and will be unveiled soon. He had included the issue as an agenda item Thursday before pulling it.

Lawmakers will need to rush to get the matter resolved.

Only about nine working days remain in the current legislative session.

Redistricting is supposed to occur every 10 years to account for population changes found by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Legislation that passed last year was struck down by the state Supreme Court.

Justices found the new districts weren’t balanced by population and didn’t comply with the “one person, one vote” mandate in federal and state law.

eight-speed transmissions for.

The others are the Jeep Grand Cherokee large SUV and the Chrysler 300 big sedan.

Most manufacturers rely on five- and six-speed transmissions to move their cars and trucks. But Chrysler and others are planning for more gears.

Generally, transmissions with more gears help cars and trucks get better mileage because engines always run at peak efficiency and don’t have to work as hard at highway speeds.

They also allow cars to accelerate faster, which is a demand of American motorists.

CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed Thursday that Chrysler will spend $162 million and add 850 new jobs at an unfinished Getrag Transmission plant in nearby Tipton. The company will spend another $212 million for new equipment and tooling at three other factories, creating up to 400 more jobs.

Four years ago, as Chrysler was going through bankruptcy protection, the sprawling complex in Kokomo was in danger of closing, which would have had serious economic implications. Marchionne, who also is CEO of Italy’s Fiat Group SpA, said he remembers leaning toward buying transmissions from an outside company.

tion for 50 years before it was obtained by the gallery. Day would not name the former owner, but considered the piece to be in good condition.

Carter’s letter is “vocal and eloquent,” Day noted, adding that it is filled with “patriotic and race pride that is palpable.”

Morgan W. Carter was mustered out of the military in Corpus Christi, Texas — he served from February 1864 to November 1865 — and he later returned back to Madison. He appears in the 1870 U.S. Census, and is listed as 25 years old.

But after the Census entry, his paper trail fades.

Jan Vetrhus, a Madison resident and researcher, said local historians are not aware of photos, birth or death records or mentions of Morgan Carter in local publications.

However, his father, John Carter, is a much different story.

John Carter was one of the most prominent black men in Madison at the time, having

been heavily involved in the abolitionist and Underground Railroad movement and a board member of Eleutherian College, Vetrhus said.

He stayed in Madison until his death at age 64 on May 13, 1878. His obituary was featured in The Madison Courier.

Vetrhus said court and business directory documents reveal that John Carter raised several children, many of whom thrived in business and education.

A son, John Jr., became a teacher and later a principal at a black school in Cairo, Ill., while daughter, Maria, owned acompany on Mulberry Street.

Another daughter, Fanny, taught at the all-black West Street School, the building that later was City Hall.

“They must have been a remarkable family, because they all became leaders,” Vetrhus said.

The family lived in downtown Madison, and the elder John Carter owned a grocery store located at what is now Second and Jefferson streets, according to the

Madison Business Directory.

The Madison Courier reported in December 1863 — one year before Morgan W. Carter would pen the letter from the front — that John Carter’s grocery store served as the recruitment location for young black soldiers.

His son would answer the call two months later.

Vetrhus has been involved with a local group that is attempting to landmark where each Madison Civil War soldier — black or white — lived in the city. Morgan W. Carter had always struck a special chord, but he always been somewhat evasive.

Now there is another goal: Bringing the document back to Madison.

Because of the local prominence of Morgan W. Carter’s father and his siblings, the letter already holds a special attachment to the community, Vetrhus said. But it also could help fill a void in Madison’s history.

“The letter is beautiful, and we really want to get it here,” she said.

Second, an emergency road would not be used for regular traffic. Residents issued concerns about traffic coming down Meadow Lane if the road was used full-time.

Pietrykowski said the third issue would be that the natural space would follow the natural drainage flow of the area.

The fourth issue would be the location of the cinder pile.

Pietrykowski said the commissioners would be willing to leave the cinder pile where it is currently located.

A large issue during this debate has been whether or not development would decrease the value of homes in the area. Bill Barnes, a resident of Meadow Lane, said he contacted an independent appraiser who said property values would decrease. Barnes said if he

looked at a home with a berm and trees, he likely would not have moved in.

Virginia Wilson, who also lives on Meadow Lane, said she would gladly pay more money to move the garage away from her home because of the impact a new garage would have to her home.

“It won’t affect anyone else in this room,” she said. “It’ll affect me.”

Meadow Lane residents mostly had limited contact with county officials since the previous Plan Commission meeting about compromise on the buffer zone. Both sides suggested they had been waiting for the other to initiate discussions about how to proceed.

Merritt Alcorn, the attorney representing Madison Chemical, said this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone because the county garage and Madison Chemical have been in that location for several years and an expansion was not outside

the realm of possibility.

Alcorn said if this zoning recommendation didn’t pass, it would “force the city into a conflict” that would likely result in a “losing lawsuit” for the city.

“The result of this is the city will be involved with a lawsuit with the county,” Alcorn said if the recommendation didn’t go forward.

Residents also referenced the Environmental Protection Agency’s battle regarding coal cinders, which are currently being stored at the county garage. If the EPA rules to no longer use coal cinders, that would free up additional space at the garage, making the need for rezoning a waste, residents said.

The zoning issue will come before City Council in April and county officials and residents will have until that time to iron out details.

State patrol officers were searching for a semi driver in the Red Cedar River near Menomie in western Wisconsin early today after the vehicle slid off the nearby snow-covered Interstate 94 into the frigid waterway.

A wet snow pelted commuters as they slid along the slick streets of downtown Chicago through the soggy wintery mix.

Snow was forecast for the morning and afternoon rush hours, Seeley said. The weather service also said that as much as 1.5 inches of snow could fall per hour, “making snow removal difficult and travel extremely dangerous.”

Police make drug arrests Madison police arrested a Milton, Ky., man after a lengthy investigation into methamphetamine production.

Police reviewed records of purchases of pseudoephedrine, the main ingredient in meth, made

by Everett C. Sullivan, 54. Since December 2007, Sullivan bought pseudoephedrine 63 times, including 18 purchases since August, Chief Dan Thurston said.

Known acquaintances of Sullivan’s bought pseudoephedrine 132 times in the same time period, Thurston said.

In December, officers performed a controlled buy of meth from Sullivan using a confidential informant, according to police.

Sullivan had been arrested on Dec. 23 after a traffic stop resulted in officers finding a hypodermic syringe and a container filled with meth, Thurston said.

Officers located Sullivan for questioning Friday and found him sitting in a vehicle. An officer saw Sullivan had a metal object in his left hand he was trying to conceal, and ordered him to remove the item from his pocket, Thurston said.

After several failed attempts to get Sullivan to remove the item, officers tried to force his hand out and a struggle ensued, Thurston said.

Sullivan threw an item out the window of his car and reached into his pocket again until a Taser was deployed, Thurston said in a news release.

Upon searching Sullivan and the vehicle, the

Woman arrested after tip

Police arrested a woman Sunday after receiving a tip about drug use.

Officers went to the apartment of Mariah M. Esterman, 20, of Madison, to perform an interview related to drug activity.

After being invited into the apartment, officers observed uncapped syringes and a spoon with white powder on it, items that are related to drug use, Chief Dan Thurston said in a news release.

Upon searching the syringes and spoon, officers found that the white substance field-tested positive for heroin.

Esterman was arrested on charges of possession of heroin and possession of a syringe. She was taken to the Jefferson County Jail.

If the area does get 10 inches of snow, it would only underline that this has been a mild winter, Seeley said.

That amount would raise the snowfall this season from 20.3 inches to 30.3 inches — just a tenth of an inch more than what Chicago sees in a typical winter.

In northern Iowa early Tuesday, at least one person was enjoying the gentle snowfall.

“It’s absolutely gorgeous out,” said Mary Hermanson, the night shift front desk clerk at the Super 8 in Mason City.

“If I’m going to have snow come down, that’s what I want to have come down,” she said of the 10 inches that had fallen in the area in the past 24 hours.

She happily said it reminded her of Christmas.
