COMMUNITY EVENTS
147th YEAR — ISSUE #38
BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Later this month, the City of Butler will begin the process of selling bonds to pay for a water main improvement project. Monday, the City Council approved the second reading of an ordinance authorizing the project that will increase the average residential water bill by $7 per month. By Sept. 30, a draft of a bond ordinance will be prepared. At the City Council’s Oct. 21 meeting, the bond ordinance will be introduced, with first passage slated to take place at the Nov. 4 meeting. Bond bids are slated to be
opened Dec. 4, with closing set to take place Dec. 19, according to city attorney Gerald McNerney. The total bond issuance is expected to be $1 million to $1.4 million, he added. City officials want to replace 100-year-old water mains in the 100 and 200 blocks of South Broadway in 2014, as the Indiana Department of Transportation has indicated it intends to pave S.R. 1 (Broadway) in 2015. City superintendent Ted Miller said he will meet with INDOT officials in Butler Monday to discuss the water main work. City officials also have a meeting in Indianapolis Monday with architects about the Steel
Dynamics Inc. force main extension project. In other business Monday, Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck announced the city’s health insurance premiums for its employees will increase 25 percent. Currently, Butler employees pay 10 percent of the insurance cost. The insurance committee — City Councilmen Eric Johnson and Larry Moore — did not want to pass along the increases to employees, so the higher cost will be absorbed within the budget through the end of 2013. The city can absorb the cost ➤ Butler, Page 6

Wanted: Indiana Senate interns BY DENNIS KRUSE Are you or someone you know a college student or recent college graduate interested in state government? If so, I encourage you to apply for the Indiana State Senate internship program. The Senate is currently seeking hard-working, motivated students for the General Assembly’s upcoming 2014 legislative session. The Senate Republican and Democratic caucuses offers paid, spring semester internships to college undergraduates, graduate students and recent college graduates. This is a unique opportunity to gain practical knowledge of state government while honing a specific career interest. Interns work directly with legislators at the Statehouse, located in downtown Indianapolis. Since Indiana has a
part-time legislature, the workload of our staff increases during session. Senate interns are absolutely vital players in the legislative process, taking on some of the same responsibilities as our staff. Because Kruse of that, the internship is a full-time, Monday through Friday commitment. There are a several different types of internships, and they are divided by interest area: legislative, communications and information technology (IT). Legislative interns work directly for one or two state senators, analyze bills, assist constituents and staff Senate committees. Communi-

to fill these openings. If we can’t keep them at the Statehouse, we will help them move on to another organization in their field of interest. The Senate internship program is especially helpful for those interested in politics or government, but it can be also useful for students who are still unsure about their career path. Each intern will come away with a strong portfolio and tangible skills that can translate into other fields. Not only will students gain legislative research and interpersonal skills, they will walk away with the confidence of working in a fast-paced, professional environment. To learn more or apply for the program, visit in.gov/ senateinternship. The deadline to apply is Oct. 31. State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) represents DeKalb County.

cations interns work with Senate press secretaries to coordinate media strategies, which include writing press releases, utilizing social media, and interacting with members of the press. IT interns implement Senate technologies, such as the General Assembly’s live-stream, and respond to hardware and software needs. During the session, the Statehouse is a top networking site for current or future job seekers. Interns will have the opportunity to interact with representatives from all different kinds of industries from both of the public and private sector. An added benefit of interning with the Senate is the opportunity to be hired when full-time positions become available.

Blazers defeated by Churubusco BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com CHURUBUSCO — After the Eastside Blazers scored the game’s first two touchdowns, you wouldn’t have been the only person at Churubusco High School to think an upset might be brewing. The Class 2A No. 6 Eagles had other ideas, using three big special teams plays as springboards. For good measure, Churubusco intercepted five Eastside passes. Midway through the second quarter, the host Eagles found themselves in a 13-0 hole, but scored twice before the half ended, and added three scores in the decisive third quarter on the way to a 31-13 win over the Blazers. Churubusco improved to 4-0 overall and in Northeast Corner Conference play. Eastside (1-3 overall, 0-3 in the NECC) found the end zone on an 8-yard Conner Dove-to-P.J. Dean pass with just under five minutes left in the first, and on a 40-yard Dean touchdown run with just under six minutes left in
the second quarter. At that point, Churubusco hadn’t shown it could do much with the football, with two three-and-outs its first two possessions and just crossing midfield in its third. Maybe it was Eastside’s second score that awoke Churubusco. In need of a big play, the Eagles got it when Logan Harris returned the subsequent kickoff to the Blazer 34. Four plays later, the Eagles were on the scoreboard on Adrian Springer’s 9-yard run. A holding penalty led to a punt on Eastside’s next possession, and another big return — this time a 34-yard punt return by Springer — gave the Eagles the ball at the Blazer 33. Five plays later, Kane Johnson scored from the two, cutting the deficit to 13-12 Eastside. Churubusco — which deferred the choice to start the game — executed big special teams play no. 3, an 82-yard TD return by Johnson on the second-half kickoff. The Eagles again missed the extra point, but
now led 18-13. On Eastside’s next possession, Conner Dove’s pass deflected off a Blazer player’s hands, right to Churubusco’s Beau Barkley. Six plays later, the Eagles were in the end zone once more, this time on a 3-yard run by Cody Conwell and a 24-13 lead. Kadis Renier gave the Blazers excellent field position, returning the ensuing kickoff 33 yards to the Churubusco 44, but a holding penalty and a quarterback sack ended that possession before it could get going. Churubusco answered with one more score before the quarter ended, as Conwell scored from the five with :29.5 seconds left. Eastside came up empty on two fourth-quarter scoring threats. The Blazers were stopped on first-andgoal from the Eagle 7 on the first one, and a pass from Dean to Renier was stopped short of the end zone on the final play of the game. Conwell carried 21 times for 168 yards. Three other Eagle backs gained

Eastside spikers sweep Hamilton BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Two teams trying to build on positives faced off in a Northeast Corner Conference match at Butler Thursday. Host Eastside snapped a three-match losing streak with a 25-16, 25-11, 25-10 win over the Hamilton Marines. The Marines jumped in front 4-0 to start the match, but the Blazers took a 12-9 lead on a Kerissa Lockwood kill, sandwiched between net interference calls against Hamilton. Bayleigh Steury’s kill cut the gap to 13-12 before Eastside managed to pull away. Two aces by the Blazers’ Kylee Yoder closed out the first game, 25-16. A tip by Steury in game two had the Marines within 13-8. Two blocks by Maddy Minehart highlighted a run that put the Blazers comfortably in front, 20-8 on the way to a game two victory. Eastside opened up a 7-2 lead in game three, but a kill by Emma Gaff brought the Marines within three. Behind Yoder’s serving, which included two more aces, the Blazers embarked on a 9-0 run. The Marines got two kills from Gaff and one from Emma Lucas, but two kills each down the stretch by Strock and Kailen Berry enabled the Blazers to close out the match. Eastside improved to 5-10 with the victory. “I told them to stay loud,” Eastside coach Jordan Staus said. “It’s always a
good thing when I hear them get loud and stay together as a team. They get excited about each and every play they’re doing.” The Blazers were able to take over by turning some tough digs into points in their column. “We’ve been doing a lot of digging exercises in practice, so I think a big dig results in a big kill, a big block or something like that,” Staus said. “It builds momentum during a match that helps you do other things.” Strock finished with 10 kills to lead Eastside. Yoder served four aces and Berry added three. Minehart contributed four blocks. Sustaining early momentum has been a struggle for the Marines, according to coach Hamilton coach Haley Manahan. “That’s been our problem all year,” she said. “That first game, we started out so good, and we had so much intensity. Somehow we have to keep that intensity up from game one on. “We come out so strong with good serving and good passes, and it goes down the drain,” Manahan added. “Zoie Farnsworth hustled her butt off tonight,” the Marines coach said. “I can always count on her to get a tip or a touch on the ball. “Our blocking was awesome,” Manahan added. “Emma Lucas was at the net all night, and Emma Gaff had some good kills for us too.” Gaff finished with nine

Blazers defeated by Westview BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — Westview’s Buchanan Carpenter provided the spark with three first-half goals, leading the Warriors to a 5-0 win over the Eastside Blazers at Butler Saturday. “We’re young with a lot of guys not playing in their normal positions,” Westview coach Dennis Berkey said. “Every game is huge. We’ve talked about getting better, growing and learning from our mistakes, and I think we’re getting there.” Carpenter opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a run up the right sideline and beating Eastside goalie
Zach Yoder with a shot to the short side of the net. “It’s good to have Carpenter break out,” Berkey said. “He’s had a rough stretch of missing nets and hitting posts.” Carpenter added his second goal three minutes later after a misplay in Eastside’s defensive end left him 1-on-1 with Yoder. Five minutes after that, Carpenter buried a rebound chance to make it 3-0. “He was able to capitalize on a little confusion,” Eastside coach Tom Utnage said of Carpenter. “Do we go up and attack the ball or do we stay back?” the Blazer coach said. “Our goalie and middle defenders
are usually in sync. We just had some breakdowns.” In the second half, Westview got tallies from Zack Carmack in the fifth minute and from Nate Gerardot in the 20th minute. “This is our stretch where it’s almost all NECC conference games, and hopefully our nonconference games, especially going down to Carroll and playing some really good teams have helped us get where we are now,” Berkey said. Both teams are in NECC tournament action Thursday. Eastside visits Hamilton and Westview hosts Central Noble.

School holds budget hearing BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com BUTLER — The DeKalb Eastern school board on Monday held a state-mandated public hearing on its 2014 operating budget, though no members from the public attended. The district is considering a total budget of $19.75 million, roughly 5 percent less than the its approved
budget from a year ago. The district estimates $9.3 million will be raised from appeals and property levies, the budget reads. The budget includes plans to replace two buses. The board will vote on the budget at its Oct. 14 meeting. The state’s deadline for adoption is Nov. 1. In other business Monday, the board heard
that the district’s official student enrollment number is being figured after the Sept. 13 count day. Principals from each of the district’s schools reported that enrollment appears visibly higher, but final checks need to be completed. Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens said the district’s goal is for at least a flat enrollment.
The board also: • accepted the retirement of Eastside High School cafeteria worker Cheryl Hohman, who leaves after 25 years of service. • accepted donations of $432, $152 and $195 for the IMPACT Institute’s automotive technology course. Next month, the board will meet Oct. 14 rather than Oct. 21, its usually scheduled third Monday.

Butler from Page 1 until the end of the year, Eck said. It also gives city officials time to look for a better insurance package. By 4-0 votes — Johnson was absent — the City Council approved separate second readings of salary ordinances for elected officials and city employees. The council also approved the final reading of amendments to a smoking ordinance after no one appeared at a public hearing. The amended ordinance prohibits smoking on or in any city-owned property, including parks and athletic fields. No one addressed the City Council during a public hearing about the proposed 2014 budget, which checks in at just under $2.4 million. The budget is slated for adoption at a future meeting. Later, Mayor Ron
Walter announced the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has found the City of Butler to be in violation of combined sewer overflow (CSO) guidelines related to stormwater. The city’s consultant, Dave Wagner of Millennium Environmental, is working on Butler’s response to the violation notice. Butler officials must come up with a long-term CSO plan to prevent incidents from happening again. Earlier, the Butler Board of Works approved a $199,687 low bid from API Construction of LaOtto to repair several streets. The board, however, plans to issue a change order to scale the project back to $164,300 to meet its budget. API officials are aware of the change order plan.

Peter S. Murdoch, 37, was taken to the DeKalb County Jail and arrested on Class A and Class C misdemeanor charges following the accident. Police said Murdoch was traveling west on U.S. 6, near the curve at C.R. 28, when Murdoch’s vehicle went off the right side of the road, struck a traffic sign and mailbox, and ended up back in the roadway.

Three hurt in Sept. 13 wreck AUBURN — Three people sustained injuries when two cars collided at 7:15 p.m. Sept. 13 southeast of Auburn, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department said. Kelsey C. Hart, 24, of St. Joe, complained of shoulder pain after the crash. Adam M. Graves, 11, had a head injury and laceration to his arm. Samuel T. Graves, 17, complained of hip pain. They were passengers in a car driven by Lorri A. Graves, 51, of Auburn, who was not injured. Police said Hart was traveling west on C.R. 60 in a 2010 Ford and did not see a stop sign at C.R. 35 because of sun in her eyes. She failed to stop, and her vehicle struck the passenger side of a 1983 Buick LeSabre driven by Graves, who was traveling north on C.R. 35. Both vehicles came to rest in the northwest corner of the intersection. The Jackson Township
Fire Department and DeKalb EMS assisted county police.
