GOOD MORNING NWS: At least 26 tornadoes confirmed in Indiana on Sunday INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The National Weather Service says at least 26 tornadoes touched down Sunday in Indiana, making it the third largest tornado outbreak in state history. The weather service said Tuesday that its survey teams’ preliminary findings show 26 tornadoes struck the state on Sunday. It says Indiana’s most active tornado day was June 2, 1990, when 33 tornadoes touched down, followed by 29 twisters on April 19, 2011.
Animal refuge fined $69K for violations BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Indiana workplacesafety regulators have fined a western Indiana animal refuge $69,000 for safety violations discovered after a woman was mauled by a tiger at the center. Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators visited the Exotic Feline Rescue Center after an employee was badly injured in a June tiger attack at the center. That worker had failed to secure a sliding cage gate. The Herald-Times reports that the state agency fined the center $56,000 for “knowing” violations and another $13,000 for “serious” violations. The agency’s reports cited concerns with fence height, gaps in the cages and the operation of sliding gates at the Center Point refuge. Owner Joe Taft says he stands by the safety of the center, which is home to more than 200 big cats.
Muncie consolidating 2 high schools into 1 MUNCIE (AP) — The Muncie School Board has approved plans to close one of the city’s two high schools in a consolidation move that will create a single high school with more than 1,700 students. School board members voted 4-1 Monday night in favor of turning Southside High School into a middle school and moving its students to Central High School. The district has said consolidating the two schools would save an estimated $1.7 million annually.

NE Center losing $60K monthly Delayed federal funds causing shortfall for mental health facility BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — The Northeastern Center is losing approximately $60,000 in revenue per month due to a federal agency’s delay in renewing support for a pilot state program. The program permits increases in hospital inpatient and outpatient reimbursement. John Cox, a member of the center’s board of directors from DeKalb County and chairman of
the board’s finance-building-audit committee, reported the revenue loss at Tuesday’s noon board meeting. The center has a year-to-date operating loss of $159,935 for fiscal year 2013-2014 that began July 1, Cox said. The center is showing substantial losses largely due to the shut down in facility payments through the Hospital Assessment Fee program. While it was renewed by the state legislature last spring, the two-year
program terminated June 30 pending approval by the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services of a new four-year extension. CMS is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and works in partnership with state governments. The center showed operating losses of $63,514 in July, $56,524 in August and $42,948 in September, with a surplus of $6,038 in October. While some of the losses can be attributed to

Town council OKs abatement
2nd resource officer landed through grant
BY JENNIFER DECKER jdecker@kpcmedia.com
FREMONT — The Fremont Town Council welcomed a Holland, Mich.-based recycling company to town by granting a special exception and seven-year tax abatement to start operations. PADNOS Iron & Metal Co., recycler of paper, plastics and metal, purchased the 120,000square foot building that formerly housed Indiana Wire, 803 S. Reed Road, Fremont. in the Fremont Industrial Park. Up to eight new jobs could be created right away and as many as 22 jobs by 2016 At the Fremont site, post-industrial plastic waste will be recycled. The Fremont Plan Commission granted PADNOS a required special exception to operate a recycling facility in an industrial-2 zoned area. The seven-year tax abatement entails PADNOS adding $715,000 in manufacturing equipment for personal property and $480,000 in building improvements toward real property. The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered PADNOS up to $75,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $40,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. PADNOS is a third-generation company that has operated for more than 100 years with 24 locations in Michigan.
inpatient revenue from the center’s hospital in Auburn not meeting expectations, a majority is due to the federal renewal delay, Cox said. “If you consider $60,000 more in revenue each month since July 1, we would have an $80,000 surplus,” he told the board. Jerry Hollister, the center’s chief operating officer, expressed confidence CMS would renew support for the HAF program,

Deer reduction wait Hunter James Womak, Waterloo, can be spotted by his required orange clothing as he sits patiently in his tree stand Monday during the first of two days of controlled deer reduction hunts at Pokagon State Park. On Monday, 25 deer were taken by the 45 hunters registered for the hunt aimed at equalizing the ecological balance of the park. There were 15 deer taken by 31 hunters Tuesday. Womak bagged an eight-point buck that dressed out at 157 pounds Tuesday. The hunt will continue on Dec. 2-3 and the park will be closed to the public. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has been conducting the hunts at Pokagon since 1995.
ANGOLA — The Metropolitan School District of Steuben County will have twice the police presence starting in December. MSD received a Secured School Safety Grant to cover half the cost of an additional police officer on school grounds, announced Superintendent Brent Wilson at Tuesday night’s school board meeting at Hendry Park Elementary School. The grant will provide half the cost of an additional officer assigned through Angola Police Department, with the total cost estimated at $43,200. The second patrol will likely be a rotating slate of reserve and off-duty officers. Officer Clay Rust is MSD’s school resource officer, a service provided at no charge to the district by APD. His office will be moved to Carlin Park Elementary School, said assistant superintendent Mike Christ, and Rust would concentrate his efforts at the elementary level; MSD has four elementary schools. Rust can do programs such as bicycle safety and “stranger danger” in the classroom, said Wilson. “We’re trying to get more exposure, more visibility at all the schools,” said Christ.

‘Arsenic and Old Lace’
ANGOLA — A long-time student director debuts as an actress her senior year in the Angola High School production of “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The play will be presented Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the high school auditorium, featuring Lexie Holdaway as Martha Brewster. Holdaway has worked behind the scenes for AHS plays and wrote and directed this spring’s Angola Honors Theatre production “Still Fighting It.” She is one of two homicidal sisters in the twisted tale written in 1939 by Joseph Kesselring and made popular by a 1944 film starring Carey Grant as Mortimer Brewster. In the Angola production, Darius Hillman is Mortimer. “I’ve actually watched a lot of videos of Carey Grant doing it,” said Hillman. “He’s a very flamboyant and very unique character.” One of the tricks to making the play snap, Hillman said, is taking one’s mindset back to the period from which the play was written. He said while there are modern twists, “Arsenic and Old Lace” may appeal to an older crowd. Featuring an elaborate, two-story set, “Arsenic and Old Lace” has a cast of 14, six of them seniors. That includes Hillman; Holdaway; Anna Wilson, who plays sister Abby Brewster; Liz Lung, Elaine Harper; Joey Biancardi, Lt. Rooney; and former backstage assistant Lucas Hulka as Teddy Brewster. “He charges up the steps with his bugle and imaginary sword,” said director Kathy Aldrich. “Lucas is so good in that part.” “Arsenic and Old Lace” is one of Aldrich’s favorite plays and she said “this was the year to do it.” Thirty students tried out and a

strong cast of seniors rose to the top, along with a few upcoming underclassmen, including Crosby Bingaman, a junior who recently moved to Angola from Batesville. Wilson called Nathan Bourne, who plays Mr. Gibbs, “blooming young talent.” “We know we are leaving the drama department in good hands,” Wilson said. Coupled with seasoned thespians is an experienced sound and light crew. Seniors Sadie Miller and Shay Harmon are “unsung heroes” of successful productions, said Aldrich. They carefully provide lights, spotlights and sound with the equipment the high school has to offer. They started studying the technological aspects of theater their freshman year and over the past several years learned the ropes from upperclassmen. This year, they are teaching freshman Mason Macknick and sophomore Drew Mueller how to write cues into the

script and arrange lights for the proper atmosphere on stage. “Arsenic and Old Lace” definitely has its dark side. Wilson describes her character as “very nice.” “When we see people hurting … we want to help them out,” she said in her sweet, little old lady voice. “It’s mercy,” chimed in Holdaway. “Abby and Martha are pretty much the same character,” explained Holdaway, who is considering majoring in theater management in college. She said this fall’s practices are intense, with a lot of attention to detail and repetition in those places where they struggle. “You just ingrain it in your mind,” she said. A well-honed and conscientiously presented production will be on tap this weekend at Angola High School. Tickets will be available at the door for $7 per person.

New charges made against Zimmerman
No cookies and milk, just water for Radio City Santa NEW YORK (AP) — Forget the cookies and milk. What Santa really wants for Christmas is water — and lots of it. “Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate,” says Charles Edward Hall, who has donned a sweat-creating fat suit and heavy fur coat to play Mr. Claus in the “Radio City Christmas Spectacular” for 27 years. “I’ll come offstage and literally wring water out of my shirt.” Hall is in his element these days, ramping up for Christmas as he and the Rockettes play up to six shows a day. No wonder his dressing room has crates of Perrier, Gatorade, Poland Spring and cranberry juice. “It is one of the challenges of the role,” says Hall, who hails from Frankfort, Ky. Like a marathon runner, he gets in shape to play the famously overweight present-giver. “I actually try to lose weight when I do Santa because it’s just easier to move around.” Does he ever have bad days? “I do, but Santa doesn’t,” Hall answers with a laugh. “I always say, ‘Santa’s a much better guy than I am.’ I am but a mere mortal.” Hall has put his heart and soul into the role of St. Nicholas. He’s a classically trained actor who cut his teeth doing Shakespeare, Moliere and Ibsen after graduating from Murray State University. One of his more memorable roles was as the Wicked Witch of the West in “Snow White.” Santa is now a full-time gig and Hall takes it very seriously. How many department store Santas can quote from “My Life in Art” by Konstantin Stanislavsky or reference the acting techniques of Sanford Meisner? Hall is a character actor who’s landed an iconic role. “I love doing it. When I first started doing it, I said, ‘Well, I’ll do this for a couple of years.’ And it’s become a part of my life in a huge way,” he says. “It is magic for me. Like Santa, I’m a big kid.” Linda Haberman, the director and choreographer of the show, says anyone who thinks Santa is easy to play is wrong. “When you think about the 6,000 people in the seats every day at Radio City at every show, each one comes with their preconceived notion of their own Santa. This one man has to live up to all of these expectations. It’s a lot.” Over the years, the show has changed enormously, but Hall has remained at its center, along with the high-kicking Rockettes and the Nativity scene.

Lebanese men run to remove dead bodies from burned cars, at the scene where two explosions struck near the Iranian Embassy killing several, in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday. The blasts in
south Beirut’s neighborhood of Janah also caused extensive damage on the nearby buildings and the Iranian mission.
Suicide bombers strike at Lebanon Iranian Embassy BEIRUT (AP) — Suicide bombers struck the Iranian Embassy on Tuesday, killing 23 people, including a diplomat, and wounding more than 140 others in a “message of blood and death” to Tehran and Hezbollah — both supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The double bombing in a Shiite district of Beirut pulled Lebanon further into a conflict that has torn apart the deeply divided country, and came as Assad’s troops, aided by Hezbollah militants, captured a key town near the Lebanese border from rebels. The bombing was one of the deadliest in a series of attacks targeting Hezbollah and Shiite strongholds in Lebanon in recent months. An al-Qaida-linked group said it carried out the attack
as payback for Hezbollah’s backing of Assad forces against the mainly Sunni rebels as the Syrian civil war increasingly becomes a confrontation between regional powers. The Syrian army’s border offensive is part of a larger government push that started last month and has seen forces loyal to Assad firmly seizing the momentum in the war, taking one rebel stronghold after another. The attacks raised fears in Lebanon that Islamic extremists, now on the defensive in Syria, would increasingly hit back in Lebanon. The country is suffering the effects of competing sectarian loyalties. “People fight outside (Lebanon), but send their messages through Lebanon. With bombs,”
said a mechanic whose store windows were shattered by the blasts. The midmorning explosions hit the neighborhood of Janah, a Hezbollah stronghold and home to several embassies and upscale apartments, leaving bodies and pools of blood on the glass-strewn street amid burning cars. In the chaotic aftermath, volunteers tried to extinguish bodies still aflame from the blast by covering them with their sweaters and blankets. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attacks and called on all Lebanese to recognize that “such appalling and indiscriminate acts of violence” target everyone in the country, U.N. acting deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said.
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman’s girlfriend said he tried to choke her about a week ago during an altercation that was not initially reported to police, a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday during Zimmerman’s first court appearance on domestic violence-related charges. Samantha Scheibe feared for her life because Zimmerman mentioned suicide and said he “had nothing to lose,” according to Assistant State Attorney Lymary Munoz. After the hearing, Zimmerman’s public defenders said he did not appear to be suicidal and expressed confidence he would be acquitted of any wrongdoing. Hours later, Zimmerman was released from jail after posting $9,000 bond. He was seen walking out of the jail smiling and getting into a car. Judge Frederic Schott ordered him to stay away from Scheibe’s house, wear a monitoring device and refrain from contact with her. He was forbidden from possessing guns or ammunition or travelling outside Florida. Zimmerman has been charged with aggravated assault, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. He also has been charged with battery and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. An arraignment was set for Jan. 7. The judge said Zimmerman’s previous brushes with the law were not a factor in the conditions he imposed, but he did cite the new
allegation of choking as a reason for the bond amount. Earlier this year, Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in the fatal shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin in a case that drew worldwide attention. Zimmerman, 30, wore gray jail garments and handcuffs during the hearing and spoke only when answering yes or no to the judge. Public defender Jeff Dowdy said Zimmerman’s family has been supporting him financially. “I would think it would be difficult for George Zimmerman to get a job in central Florida,” he said. In an affidavit filed Tuesday, Zimmerman asked for a public defense, saying he has liabilities and debts of at least $2 million and no income. He said he had less than $150 in cash on hand. Dowdy and another public defender, Daniel Megaro, said Zimmerman was not suicidal. “He doesn’t appear to be a danger to himself or a danger to anybody else,” Megaro said. Zimmerman has previously used a website to raise money for his legal and living expenses, including $95,000 spent on bail in the Martin case. The site also says tens of thousands of dollars were spent on living expenses and security. The most recent posting on the site, weeks before Zimmerman’s acquittal, said the fund ran out of money in late May but raised tens of thousands more after public requests for help.

Beware of the holiday hazards awaiting your pets BY ANNETTE RYAN KLEINHENZ
Every day with you is a holiday for your cat and dog. Yet the holidays for humans are upon us. How can we make the holiday season good for our pets? Aretha, a stunning calico, loved to climb but she had traded the freedom of the outdoors for love, security, canned cat food and a soft pillow. She knew the draperies were off limits and she tried to be a good cat. One cold Saturday a pine tree magically appeared in her living room. It was fragrant, with pretty colored lights blinking hypnotically, and the soft wood just begged for her claws. She did what came naturally and climbed up the trunk and out on a limb, and the tree did what came naturally as well. Slowly it teetered and then succumbed to gravity. It landed across the room in a jumble of broken ornaments with the pretty lights snapping and spitting sparks. Aretha ran for her life. Aretha’s housemate, the 2-year-old boxer mix Sirus, jumped on the tree, not sure what to do but it had attacked his friend and it was fun. He determined it was not alive but smelled really good so he gobbled popcorn strings and shiny tinsel, stepping on two broken glass ornaments in the process and yelping and jumping, got tangled in the light cords. Aretha and Sirus’ owners entered the melee at this point. They could see Sirus trying to extricate himself, and saw the bloody paw prints as he danced and struggled, but they were busy dousing the scorched carpet, so he was on his own for a few minutes. The mess was bad, but messes can be righted and carpets fixed. Aretha was terrified and threw up in the bathroom. She stopped using her litter box whenever she was extremely upset so there were a few days of other repercussions. Sirus’ cut feet healed but no one knew he had eaten sharp pine needles with the popcorn and tinsel until a few days later when he became horribly ill and the vet said something had punctured his small intestine.

Dale has a wonderful personality. He likes other animals, playing on the kitty tower and catnip.
Dorothy came to the shelter under difficult circumstances. She is fine now, after veterinary care, and is happy and playful.
Secure your Christmas tree with a slender rope or ribbon closed into a window or by a hook in the wall. If you have curious pets, place something near the bottom of the tree that will irritate them to warn them off. This could be stones rattling in a pretty plastic bottle or a motion-activated alarm. Tinsel is plastic and indigestible so keep it high enough your pet can’t eat it. Vacuum pine needles that fall from natural trees. Christmas lights can be mesmerizing to some pets and others don’t want anything to do with them. Keep indoor and outdoor wires secured. Think about where you place edible decorations. Holly, mistletoe and poinsettia are poisonous to your pet. So are many regular foods including apricots, onions, bread
dough, alcohol, garlic, avocado, flax, peas, chocolate, raisins and the sweetener Xylitol. Often, the effects are minimal if the amount is small, such as onions in a casserole or a few raisins in a cookie. However, the overall health and individual sensitivity are factors, and weight matters. A few raisins to a cat or Yorkie are a lot of raisins compared to a golden retriever or great dane polishing off that same cookie. When you are concerned, call your animal’s veterinarian. Another source is the Pet Poison Helpline: 855-2136680. Even if a food isn’t poisonous, it can be too rich, too sweet or too foreign and make a dog or cat sick. Susan was such a soft touch for animals and her sister was so strict about what
she fed her pets that Susan winked and said “shhh” to Fluffy as she slipped the eager furry girl a treat. By 2 a.m., it was no longer a cute little secret between Susan and Fluffy because Fluffy had presented the evidence, from both ends, and Susan’s worried sister was up cleaning the mess and wondering what had happened to Fluffy. Gabriel is a cheerful and goofy dog with a big swishy tail. Misha is a gracious and elegant cat with a highly curious nature. Gabriel’s tail now has a few bare spots and bandages. Misha is missing some whiskers. One candle was too low and Gabriel’s tail too enthusiastic. The other candle smelled like something amazingly yummy. Open flames and pets don’t go together. Keep a screen on the fireplace, too. HairyKrishna loved to play and his owner threw tissue, ribbons and wrapping paper on the floor for him as she wrapped presents. He rolled and stomped and swatted to his heart’s content until a ribbon dangling from the table caught his attention. Hairy grabbed the ribbon and it seemed stuck but he wanted to see it, so he pulled hard. He was a very fast cat, and it’s a good thing, as sharp pointed scissors came flying off the table right at him. Hairy jumped in the right direction to escape injury but his owner darned near fainted when she realized he could have been impaled. The doorbell rang at least a dozen times. People were coming in, stomping snow off their feet, all talking at once and laughing. Strangers were grabbing her humans and hugging them. It was loud. Hands Maxine didn’t know reached at her to pet her and one human grabbed her collar to read her tags. It was all too much for Maxine. The hair near her tail went straight up. She backed away in mounting fear and anxiety and had to use self control to keep from growling. Introduce your pets to company slowly. If there will be a lot of fuss, let it die down before you bring the family animals out.

Jason is around 8-9 months old and great dog. His whole litter was badly neglected. He is a very sweet dog with a quiet nature and a caring heart.
Kip is a cheerful and happy young beagle, full of energy and the desire to play. He gets along with cats and other dogs and needs a family.
When you meet someone’s pets in a party atmosphere, remember that the pet may be normally relaxed but this is not a normal night for this animal so let them approach you. Make the holidays fun for everyone in the house. This is the time of year that you may be looking with great anticipation at paying your taxes after the New Year (sarcasm intended).

Marriage, education fights might crowd 2014 session A mix of sun and clouds today with a high of 48 and a low of 34. Thursday will bring slightly warmer temperatures and a 30 percent chance of precipitation. Temperatures will cool the rest of the week and through the start of next week.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s legislative leaders are holding their cards tight as they prepare for a battle over amending the state constitution to ban gay marriage. House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, said Monday that he expects some sort of conclusion by the end of the General Assembly’s 2014 session. Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, said he still is polling his members before deciding how to handle the issue. Indiana already limits marriage to being between one man and one woman, but supporters of a constitutional amendment say it is needed to prevent a court from overturning state law. Bosma and Long both said Monday the issue is not a top priority in either chamber, where they oversee large Republican majorities. “We have to deal with the issue with dignity and respect for opposing viewpoints. We can’t call people bigots or sinners or whatever,” Bosma said. “We have to deal with this and work through it,

Lincoln’s speech remembered GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — In solemnity, thousands gathered at a central Pennsylvania battlefield park Tuesday to honor a speech given 150 years ago that President Abraham Lincoln predicted would not be long remembered. The inspirational and famously short Gettysburg Address was praised for reinvigorating national ideals of freedom, liberty and justice amid a Civil War that had torn the country into pieces. “President Lincoln sought to heal a nation’s wounds by defining what a nation should be,” said Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, calling Lincoln’s words superb, his faith deep and his genius
profound. “Lincoln wrote his words on paper, but he also inscribed them in our hearts.” Echoing Lincoln, keynote speaker and Civil War historian James McPherson said the president took the dais in November 1863 at a time when it looked like the nation “might indeed perish from the earth.” “The Battle of Gettysburg became the hinge of fate on which turned the destiny of that nation and its new birth of freedom,” McPherson said. In the July 1863 battle, considered the turning point of the war, Union forces fought back a Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania. Lincoln’s speech was delivered more than four
months later, at the dedication of a national cemetery to bury the battle’s casualties. In the short oration, he spoke of how democracy itself rested upon “the proposition that all men are created equal,” a profound and politically risky statement for the time. Slavery and the doctrine of states’ rights would not hold in the “more perfect union” of Lincoln’s vision. “In 272 words he put together what everyone was thinking, what everyone should know,” said park historian John Heiser. Because of varying transcriptions, scholars generally put the text at 268 to 272 words.

creation of a second education agency for an ongoing power struggle, which flared last week when she abruptly ended a State Board of Education meeting. Pence has called her claims that he’s trying to take over the state Department of Education a misunderstanding. Both issues have the potential to crowd out other items leaders from both sides say they would like to focus on during the 2014 session. All four leaders said they would like to find ways to expand early childhood education across the state, but Republicans and Democrats are likely to have very different ideas for accomplishing that. Bosma and Long said they would like to eliminate the state’s personal property tax, which is largely levied by local governments on business equipment. Pelath and Lanane said the state needs to find better ways to improve earnings for workers. And all four said they plan to continue working on job training initiatives begun during this past session.

whether we want to or not, together as Hoosiers and bring this 12-year discussion to a conclusion in one direction or another.” He declined to say when the issue might come to a vote. Bosma and Long detailed their 2014 legislative priorities Monday along with House Minority Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, and Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, at the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s annual legislative preview. Lawmakers return Tuesday for a formal meeting but do not plan to meet again until January, when their 2014 session begins. Bosma added Monday that lawmakers may need to step into the middle of the ongoing education “civil war” between Democratic Schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz and Republican Gov. Mike Pence. He did not say how lawmakers might intervene in the battle, but said he and others have been working behind the scenes to cool down both sides. Ritz has blamed Pence’s
but he couldn’t say when it would occur, adding “CMS appears to have procedural questions.” Fortunately, the center has enough cash on hand to cover the decrease in revenue, Cox said. The state legislature passed a law in 2011 creating the two-year HAF program. In the center’s case, the program permits increases in inpatient reimbursements for the center’s hospital that approximate Medicare upper payment limits. The Northeastern Center is one of 11 regional
mental health centers with inpatient hospitals. About 60 percent of center revenue comes from service fees, according to the center’s 2013 annual report. State funds account for about 24 percent, and funds from Noble, LaGrange, Steuben and DeKalb counties account for about 8 percent. The other 8 percent of total revenue comes from miscellaneous sources. The board adopted last month the center’s 2014 fiscal year operating budget of $12.6 million with offsetting revenues of the same amount.
ARREST: Federal drug agency continues to investigate case FROM PAGE A1
marijuana in a local store to officers from the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department. The substances were tracked down at the store called Addikted 2 Ink in the 1600 block of North Wayne Street after undercover agents allegedly made purchases there. A search warrant and arrest warrant resulted after undercover agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the multi-county IMAGE drug task force purchased K2 and spice at
the store, the news release said. Charges include two counts of Class D felony dealing in a look-alike synthetic cannabinoid. Newsome is currently being held in the Steuben County Jail without bond pending a Community Corrections revocation and the current charges. The case remains under investigation by the DEA.

Briefly • Pistons down Knicks AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Rodney Stuckey scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half, and the Detroit Pistons beat the New York Knicks for the first time in eight meetings, 92-86 on Tuesday night. Josh Smith added 19 points for the Pistons, who led 71-63 after three quarters.
LIGONIER — Angola came into the West Noble gym hunting for its first win of the girls basketball season Tuesday night. And while they were successful with a 59-47 victory over the Chargers, the Lady Hornets knew they had been in a fight. The final score didn’t reflect just how tight of a contest it was between the two Northeast Corner Conference rivals. Each squad enjoyed the ebb and flow of holding a lead in the game before the Hornets were able to come out on top. Both teams left the game with 1-2 records. The game was tied at 14-14 after the first eight minutes. West Noble led by a dozen, 28-16, in the second quarter before Angola recovered and enjoyed a seven-point lead at 41-34 near the end of the third period. The Chargers came back and knotted things up at 41-all early in the fourth quarter before AHS took control of the game. The Hornets outscored West Noble 18-8 in the final quarter. The victory, Angola coach John Berger said, “came from us sticking to our game plan and not panicking when we were down. We knew if we could withstand that run of theirs, and make some baskets, we’d be in good shape.” Both teams enjoyed balanced scoring with only three girls in double figures but 14 different girls scoring points. Claire Grubb, a junior, sparked Angola with 14 points while senior Alexis Scott had ten for the winners. Abby Buchs and Kaitlyn Brandt scored eight points each. Kelsie Peterson, the lone senior on the Chargers’ roster, paced her team with 22 points including four three-pointers. Kenzie Cox

But as long as we stick to our game plan, we’ll be alright.” West Noble coach Dale Marano

Youth to elevate AHS swimming BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — More young talent has reached the Angola High School swim program for the upcoming season. They will join what is expected to be a more competitive group of returners. Second-year Hornet coach Lance McClelland will have 19 girls and seven boys in the program, and that includes one of the bigger influxes of talent from the Wavemaker Swim Team in recent memory. The Wavemaker Swim Team is based at the YMCA of Steuben County in Angola and has around 100 children of all ages and different levels of swim development for this 2013-14 season. It has long been a starting point for competitive swimming for county youth and has indirectly provided the AHS swim program with talent at varying degrees over the years. The leading newcomers and longtime Wavemakers are freshmen Nathan Bourne and Kate Watkins. It was common for the both of them to qualify for several events at USA Swimming postseason meets. As far as Bourne goes, McClelland wants to put him in a position to win races. Bourne can swim every stroke very well, but McClelland does not know what events to put him in just yet. There’s time to do that. The first co-ed meet for Angola will be DeKalb on Tuesday. The Hornet girls start the season at the Goshen

Relays on Saturday. McClelland hopes for good chemistry between the upperclassmen and the talented youngsters. “Our younger kids know a lot about swimming. They are used to having almost two practices a day. A majority of them are very competitive,” McClelland said. “Hopefully they will be able to step up and not peter out on strength.” For the boys, the freestyle events have improved beyond the addition of Bourne. Competition had grown between senior returners Tevin Crody and Brady Thompson. Crody enters this season much improved, according to McClelland. Thompson was part of Angola’s 400-yard freestyle relay team that reached the championship final of the Concord Sectional last year. Senior Chris Clemens just missed a berth in the sectional consolation final in the 100 breaststroke last season after finishing 18th in the trials. Crody and Clemens were
part of the 200 medley relay team that swam in a consolation final. Thompson and Crody were part of the 200 freestyle relay team that swam in a consolation final. The top freestyle relay team will include Bourne, Crody, Thompson and either one of two newcomers: Kyle Stadtmiller or senior and first-year prep swimmer Cameron Ridenour. For the girls, sophomores Sydney Robinson and Sarah Wilson are part of the Hornets’ solid young core. Wilson was hampered by a shoulder injury last year. Robinson was 15 “Sydney should be phenomenal this year,” McClelland said. “Sarah is one of those swimmers who will not lay down for me. She swam the 100-yard butterfly for the first time in a long time and didn’t hurt after it.” Junior Mackenzie Simmons was 14th in the 50 freestyle last year at the Northridge Sectional while Robinson tied for 15th in the 100 butterfly. McClelland is expecting some upperclassmen to step up, including junior Maria Clemens and seniors Jana Olson, Taylor Raugh and Hayley Beckwith. “Maria is always in shape. It looks like she is having fun again,” McClelland said. “Jana has her technique down more and is listening a lot better. Taylor is more of a leader. Hayley is a powerful swimmer.”
FORT WAYNE — Second effort was Fremont’s first instinct as it dispatched Blackhawk Christian, 65-39, Tuesday in a nonconference high school girls basketball game. “I was really pleased with our effort on defense. That was our focus tonight, to get better defensively on the halfcourt,” Fremont coach Neal Frantz said. The Eagles forced 23 turnovers, yanked down 37 total rebounds and grabbed 22 steals in a solid tune-up for conference play. The Eagles (2-0) built a 10-4 run over the final 4 minutes, 29 seconds of the second quarter to build a 34-19 lead at the break. Fremont kept its foot on the accelerator building a lead as big as 29 in the second half. The Eagles’ defense hamstrung Blackhawk with no less than four scoring droughts of three minutes or more through the early part of the fourth quarter. That included a cold spell that extended nearly six minutes in the first quarter. Fremont limited the Braves to 36 percent shooting from the field (14-38). The Eagles hit at a 50 percent rate, 27-of-54 from the field and 11-of-20 at the line. Shae Rhonehouse powered the win scoring 26 points, pulling down 12 rebounds and tallying 7 steals. Miranda White chipped in with 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Melissa Beer and Kayla Stroop added 10 and 9 points, respectively. Blackhawk (0-2) was led by Cassidy Perlich with 11 points. Frantz contrasted the effort to the season-opening win against Lakewood Park – a 77-41 win for Eagles, a win that left him less than impressed by his young squad. “We got after it pretty well. We had a lot of kids that played a lot better than the first night. That’s encouraging,” Frantz said. “We have a lot of young players. We have five new people in our seven-player rotation. We need to get them as much experience as we can get. I thought we took a step in that direction tonight. We have a long way to go. Our competition level is going to get tougher down the road, but we did what we had to do so far.” Fremont will open up Northeast Corner Conference play Friday at Central Noble. JV: Fremont cut the lead to 14-12 at halftime. But host Blackhawk rallied outscored Fremont 8-2 to post the 22-14 win. Kelcy Fitzpatrick had five points for the Eagles.

Predators top Wings DETROIT (AP) — Rookie Marek Mazanec made 27 saves to earn his first shutout and the Nashville Predators extended the Detroit Red Wings’ skid to seven games with a 2-0 victory on Tuesday night. Shea Weber and Gabriel Bourque scored for Nashville. The Red Wings’ home slide reached eight games (0-6-2). They have gone seven games without a win overall (0-5-2) for the first time since the last seven games of the 2002 regular season, according to STATS. That team went on to hoist the Stanley Cup. This team, though, appears to have a lot of heavy lifting ahead of it to contend for a championship. Detroit’s Jimmy Howard made 23 saves.

Lakers excited about new system BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
LAGRANGE – That buzz you hear around the Lakeland High School community is unbridled excitement for a new basketball season. Scott LaPlace’s return to the bench after four seasons away has been welcomed by a group of energized and eager Lakeland boys basketball players, and for good reason. LaPlace, a former Fremont High head coach and Bethel College assistant coach, has been working this preseason to install his fast-paced system, and the players he has to run it have run with it, he said. “They seem to like it,” LaPlace said of his system predicated on pushing the ball up the floor. “They seem to want to do that and they are picking up on it pretty quickly. “It’s going really well. The guys are trying to do everything that is asked of them and they’re working really hard and they seem to be pretty excited about the basketball season. Practices have been fun.” Excitement and will aside, LaPlace is still trying to get a grip on what areas his team could excel in this season, as he’s working to determine if and how his system will jive with

the players. Coaching the players to play fast and controlled rather than hurried has been key, he said. Fortunately, the Lakers team is largely mature. They’re not exactly experienced, however. With nine seniors on the roster, few saw major
minutes last year under former coach Ryan Yoder as many of those players logged time in junior varsity contests. LaPlace said they’ll need to step up to the varsity playing level this year. Lakeland will be led by Chandler Mynhier, Marco Olivares, Dustin
Mynhier, Joseph Trost, Josh Collyer. Back, manager Audrey Stephens, assistant coach Brent Miller, junior varsity coach Don Prough, varsity head coach Scott LaPlace, varsity assistant coach Steve Mettert, and managers Paty Aguilar and Angela Sanchez.
Cunningham and Daemyn Priestley, who each played heavy minutes a season ago. LaPlace said he’s been impressed with their work ethic in practice and said he’ll lean heavily on them for on-the-court leadership. At 6-3, Mynhier is the tallest player on the roster and figures to be the focal
point in the post. Priestley and Eric Herber will share point guard duties. LaPlace said even with a heap of seniors biding for minutes, he’ll look for Josh Collyer, a 6-2 sophomore, and juniors Cole Lozano and Martin Gordon to contribute at the varsity level. They’re the future, he
said. In the present, the Lakers will find out quickly how they stack up. Lakeland opens with Concord Tuesday night – a 19-2 team a season ago – then East Noble four nights later, which is rebuilding. “We’ll find out real fast if we’re at that level or not,” said LaPlace. “Our conference will be very difficult, and our non-conference schedule is just brutal. We never have a game where we can’t bring our A-game. We just don’t have that luxury. But that’s fun. You want to play great teams where you have to play your best every day.” LaPlace said the season will be determined by how effectively his team picks up the system and plays within it. “With me coming in with a different style and a different system, it’s hard to say,” said LaPlace. “They’re busting it and they’re catching on very quickly. They like the things that we’re doing, but to say how competitive we’re going to be, that’s really hard to judge right now.” Don Prough will coach the Lakers’ junior varsity squad, and Steve Mettert will serve as the assistant varsity coach.
Young CN Cougar team looks to jell BY JUSTIN PENLAND japenland@hotmail.com
ALBION — This year will mark the first for Central Noble boys basketball in which a senior class has started in middle school under Brett Burrough and will finish his career under the same coach. Connor McCoy will be that person, but also the only player this year who will leave the Cougar program. So what will it be like having one senior after losing four to graduation following a 5-16 season? “We are going to have to grow together as a team, there is no doubt about that. We need to learn to play consistently as a team,” Burrough said. “This is a really good group of kids that have the potential to do something. We don’t have a lot of size, but we do have some. We have some ball handlers and kids that can shoot, too. We need to put the pieces together and then we can compete.” Unity and consistency will be big for the Cougars this season with four juniors, four sophomores and a freshman joining McCoy on the varsity roster. “It is nice to be in a situation where the kids know my expectations and know what I expect on a daily basis

in terms of the intensity of practice and an understanding of my terminology,” Burrough said. “ Many players on the Central Noble roster spent the offseason on the court elsewhere, leading to a quality first week of practice. Burrough said this group has put in more time in the gym than any other through his tenure in Albion. “There has been a good
level of competition (in practice). We have a nice core of kids that really put in a lot of time during the spring, summer and fall,” he said. McCoy averaged 10 points and five rebounds last season as a junior, and is expected to step up in a role vacated by KPC Media Group All-Area honoree Alex Vice (13.9 ppg, 6 rpg, 2.4 assists, 2.2 steals).
coach Scott Rees, head coach Brett Burrough, Jacob Galligher, Zack Robinson, Jeremy Coney, coach Cory Vice and coach Cody Kirkpatrick.
McCoy will be the centerpiece to the Cougar offense, but he may not be the only person who will make a significant impact. “I also see some things being spread around more this year. I think with the ball handling we have, we will have multiple players handling the ball. We might be a little more balanced this year in our attack,” Burrough said.
Purdue football finds progress Boilermakers host Fighting Illini on Senior Day Saturday WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Purdue has no chance at a Big Ten football championship. The Boilermakers’ hopes of landing in a bowl game are gone. But there are signs of progress for Purdue (1-9, 0-6 Big Ten) and first-year coach Darrell Hazell wants to show fans where the program is headed. The Boilermakers host Illinois (3-7, 0-6) on Saturday, which is Senior Day. “I think we’ve got to come out and play extremely well on Saturday and show the future of the program,” Hazell said. “I think that’s very important at this point in time. There’s a great crop of young guys out there, to be able to track and follow their career here in the next three, four, five, six years, and they’re fun. Some of those guys are fun to watch.” The Boilermakers haven’t won since beating Indiana State in the season opener, but showed signs of improvement in a 45-21 loss at Penn State on Saturday. The Boilers topped 20 points for the first time since scoring 28 in a loss to Northern Illinois
in September. It gave Hazell something to build on this week. He wants to see his team improve on some of the pass plays that allowed the Boilermakers to move the ball against Penn State. They threw for 223 yards, the most since throwing 371 against Northern Illinois. “I think if we can throw some of those bubble swings and some of the nakeds and jailbreaks, those are easy completions,” Hazell said. “It takes a lot of stress off of the offensive line as well as the quarterback as well as the receivers getting open. All those things that you can get easy completions, that takes a lot of stress off, so that’s part of the offense that we need to continue to get better at.” Now is a good time to polish some of those plays and skills. The Boilermakers host a team in the Fighting Illini that hasn’t won a league game this season. Then Purdue will wrap-up the season against rival Indiana, who has had its share of struggles. A win against either won’t erase all the losses. When asked Tuesday what best describes this season, Hazell said:
“A work in progress.” Hazell likely found his quarterback for the next several years in true freshman Danny Etling, who took the starting role from senior Rob Henry. Etling has shown what he can do when he has enough time to work each play. Now it’s a matter of getting everything to click at the same time. “I think it’s everybody just really understanding that their role is so vitally important,” Hazell said. “If you can take care of your role as an individual, then it’s going to help. And offensively you’ve got to be 11 for 11 guys doing the right thing.” Despite the struggles, Hazell has kept his optimism about the direction of the program and still has the same vision as when he took the job earlier this year. “I know it’s going to happen,” he said. “It’s just when it’s going to happen. It’s going to be a great program. I tell my staff that all the time, ‘Just keep working the process. Don’t panic, don’t flinch. And sometimes it’s frustrating for you, but you’ve got to keep working the process.’”
Brock Noe has “matured and become stronger,” according to Burrough, and returns after a strong sophomore season in which he averaged eight points per game. Elijah (E.J.) Andrews started as a freshman and has progressed through the summer. Newcomers Jeremy Coney (junior, 6 feet), Zack Robinson (Jr., 6-5), Joel Cochard (Jr., 6 feet) and
Kaleb Smith (sophomore, 5-8) are expected to make contributions to the varsity team. Robinson will play in the post for the Cougars. “He does have a nice touch and can shoot the ball,” Burrough said of Robinson. “He has worked hard on his footwork in the offseason and has improved.” The Cougars have a hefty pre-holiday break schedule with back-to-back road games to open the season. After traveling to Canterbury (Tuesday) and Angola (Dec. 6), Central Noble hosts Whitko (Dec. 10) and defending conference champion Westview (Dec. 14). During the break, CN will travel to the Caston Shootout for the first time from Jan. 2-4. “Canterbury is a hard place to play. We saw them in the summer, so I don’t think we will have a problem to go and play,” Burrough said. Even with the team’s youth, the goal stands the same as always: To compete on a consistent basis for conference, NECC tournament, and eventually, sectional titles. “Our early season schedule is pretty tough, but it gets us ready for the second half of the season, it’s a good thing,” Burrough said.

loss there’s a lot of promising things that are going to push us through.” Berger gave special mention to Grubb and Scott for their play and also credited Tana Willibey, a junior for “coming off the bench and giving us some good minutes.” Marano praised the play of Peterson along with Shawna Young, a junior point guard. “Shawna’s efforts, especially on defense, was outstanding; she gave us a spark we needed,” he said. Angola gained momentum at the end of the second quarter when Abby Buchs sank a three-point shot at the buzzer that knocked a seven-point West Noble lead down to four points heading into the lockerroom. “That basket really turned things around for Angola,” Marano said. In its third-quarter rally, Angola was helped by three-point buckets made by Scott, Becca Buchs and Katie Lopshire as the Hornets outpointed West Noble 17-11. Six Angola girls sank three-pointers with Buchs and Willibey making two each. Becca Schermerhorn and Cox made three-pointers for the Chargers. West Noble travels to Hamilton on Friday while Angola is the road against Eastside,

SPORTS BRIEFS • Spikers step up to beat cancer The high school volleyball teams from Prairie Heights, Angola, Fremont and Hamilton stepped up for the 2013 Volley 4 A Cure campaign and raised $15,317 in the fight against cancer. A check of $10,000 was recently given to the Steuben County Cancer Association. T-shirt sales and sponsorships covered $9,531.80 of that check.

The remaining money raised was donated by the teams to the SCCA and other causes of their choosing. That included the American Cancer Society. “I truly feel in my heart that the involvement you coaches have with your girls and the fundraising efforts you participate in with the Volley 4 A Cure Series is greater than any volleyball skills you will ever teach them,” Volley 4 A Cure organizer Melody Kain wrote in an email to area prep volleyball coaches, area athletic directors. and to SCCA executive director Candy Oliver and shared with The Herald Republican. “The philanthropy lesson you are teaching by being involved and putting your time and effort into raising money for the Steuben County Cancer Association and other organizations is something they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Ill-prepared Hoosiers Most Hoosiers may not be prepared for a widespread emergency, according to a recent survey compiled by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. The survey of 2,500 households found more than half did not have at least three days’ worth of food and water on hand should a disaster occur. More than half did not have other items recommended for a family preparedness kit, including things such as flashlights, extra batteries, first-aid MATT supplies, extra medications, pet supplies and copies GETTS extra of important documents that are hard to replace. (By definition, one cannot be prepared for an emergency. If you are prepared, it isn’t an emergency, it is merely a contingency you have planned for.) Why aren’t Hoosiers prepared? Uh, we’re sheep. Our masters have us in our pens, and we’ll just graze like the other sheep. If the big, bad wolf comes knocking, we’ll just huddle together and let it pick us off one by one. It’s what sheep do, after all. More specifically, the reasons people gave on the survey for not being prepared included: • I’m too busy; • It’s too expensive to put together extra supplies; • I just don’t think those items are necessary; and • I don’t think there will be an emergency in my area. The last may be the biggest stumbling block. In Indiana, we are just not prone to natural disasters. There are no typhoons. There are no hurricanes. There are no earthquakes (of note). Sure, there may be a swine flu epidemic, or a train containing toxic materials may jump the track, but those things are just too few and far between to get us to the hardware store to buy a flashlight. Tornadoes happen, but thankfully not often enough to be considered a realistic threat. And when they do hit, they are localized damage, not the kind of regional damage you see from widespread disasters that can wipe out entire counties or affect multiple regions. We are pretty much disaster-resistant. Or are we? The following are groups and what constitutes a disaster for them in northeastern Indiana: • Republicans: a Democrat winning a seat in county government. • Democrats: Republicans. • The tea party: a Republican negotiating with a Democrat. • Purdue football fans: kickoff. • IU basketball fans: recruiting players who will stick around more than one or two years. • Notre Dame football fans: Tommy Rees. • Intelligent readers: this column space. • Anti-drug enforcement officers: the do-nothing-about-meth Indiana General Assembly. • Government: an actively participating electorate. While these groups may consider themselves routinely face-to-face with disaster, these are mere annoyances compared to what happened in the Philippines and the super storm that rocked the East Coast last year. The one fly in the ointment for those who feel invincible in this part of the state may be a blizzard. We haven’t had a full-flung blizzard since 1978, but another could happen here. People may be stuck in their homes for a week or more. Look around your own house. What would you eat after day three? Would you have water to drink if the pipes were frozen? Being a prepper myself, I am fully stocked should a true disaster hit. Plenty of food. Plenty of bottled water. Flashlights. Batteries. My dog-eared copy of “Column Writing for Dummies.” Ear plugs for when the kids start whining. I am set. Are you?

Then the organization and its leadership can look to the hollowed-out department and claim that it no longer serves any useful purpose and that it should be eliminated or consolidated. It is the classic type of business-as-usual Washington politics. Now Pence has called upon the National Association of State Boards of Education to help facilitate a discussion between the two sides that disagree. Pence has fooled no one but himself into believing the conflict is contained within the SBOA when, in fact, he is personally responsible for the dysfunction he’s created at the expense of K-12 kids, parents, educators and let’s not forget the taxpayers who fund all this. Ms. Ritz should ONLY agree to participate in such a conflict resolution session if Mr. Pence agrees to participate himself. Patrick Wiltshire LaGrange

In 1815, the assembly again petitioned Congress for statehood, and this time all went according to plan. In December 1816, President James Monroe signed a resolution admitting Indiana to the union. For the 12 years he served as governor, Harrison was synonymous with the Indiana Territory, and Grouseland functioned as the White House of the West. Today the mansion appears much as it did in the early 19th century and is “a cultural treasure in Indiana,” says historian James Fadely. “It embodies the history and culture of the early Indiana Territory within its walls.” Of the four meeting places of the legislature, one still stands: a two-story red house initially built as a tailor shop. The sites are within a block of each other and open to the public as living reminders of Indiana’s beginnings.

New Chinese political party being cautious The disgraced Chinese politician, who was sentenced to life last month on charges of corruption and abuse of power, is now chairman of a new political party. His supporters say they have formed the Zhi Xian Party (Supremacy of the constitution) to act as a pressure valve within the system and help fight for the rights of citizens. Wang Zheng, a university professor who founded the
What Others Say • party, is treading a cautious path, saying it is not meant to undermine the authority of the one-party system in the country, but to act as an interest group for upholding the constitution. The doctrine and intentions of the new-founded group, nonetheless, are debatable. The fact that Bo has been named its chairman even though he fell from grace with the ruling Communist Party of China
(CPC) making an exemplary case of him is certain to be a thorn in the party’s flesh just as its third plenum session has finalized the agenda for the next decade and decided to move on from the scandals and drama that erupted during the trials of Bo and his wife, former business woman Gu Kailai? Despite Wang’s claim that the new organization is meant to defend the constitution, it could be an oblique retaliatory tactic to caution the CPC against penalizing Bo further. While
Gu, who has been convicted of murdering her business associate, Briton Neil Heywood, was pressured during her trial to give evidence that incriminated Bo, he however has so far not made any stunning revelation to incriminate senior party leaders and utterly disgrace the CPC. However, the new party could be a gentle reminder that the skeletons in Bo’s cupboard could start rattling if he is leant on too heavily. The Khaleej Times Dubai

Who Gets Free TV: Listed below are the Kendallville area zip codes that can get Free over the air TV channels. If you find the first two digits of your zip code immediately call: 1-888-752-7147 INDIANA - Today’s announcement by CompTek has the Free TV Hotlines ringing off the hook. That’s because Kendallville area residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication are getting Free TV channels thanks to an amazing razor-thin invention called Clear-Cast®. Kendallville area residents who call the Toll Free Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadline to get Clear-Cast can pull in Free TV channels with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills . This announcement is being so widely advertised because a U.S. Federal law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital format, which allows everyone to receive these over-the-air digital signals for free with no monthly bills. Here’s how it works. Clear-Cast, the sleek micro antenna device with advanced technology links up directly to pull in the Free TV signals being broadcast in your area with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills. Clear-Cast was invented by a renowned NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame scientist who currently holds 23 U.S. Gov’t issued patents. For the past 20 years, he has specialized in developing antenna systems for NASA, Motorola, XM Satellite Radio and companies around the world. His latest patent-pending invention, Clear-Cast, is a sleek micro antenna device engineered to pull in the Free TV signals through advanced technology with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills. “Clear-Cast is being released to the general public because we just don’t think people should keep paying for TV when they can get it for free,” said Conrad Miller, Manager of Operations at CompTek. “There’s never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get with Clear-Cast are absolutely free. So you see, ClearCast is not like cable or satellite. It was engineered to access solely the over-theair signals that include all the top rated national and regional networks, like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like America’s Got Talent, NCIS, 60 Minutes, American Idol, The Big Bang Theory, The Bachelorette, Person of Interest, CSI, The Mentalist, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and more all for free with no monthly bills,” Miller said. “That’s why Clear-Cast is such a great alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying expensive cable and satellite bills every month,” he said. “People who get Clear-Cast will say it feels like getting an extra paycheck every month. You see, with Clear-Cast you’ll receive free over-the-air broadcast channels with crystal clear digital picture, not the cable or satellite only channels. So being able to eliminate those channels puts all the money you were spending back in your pocket every month,” Miller said. And here’s the best part. The sleek micro antenna device called Clear-Cast is so technically advanced it pulls in even more of the channels being broadcast in your area for Free with no monthly bills. That way you can channel surf through the favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels you’ll get depends on where you live. People living in large metropolitan areas may get up to 53 staticfree channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even if you’re in a rural area that just pulls in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts there’s hundreds of shows each year to watch for free. Consumers report that the crystal clear picture quality with Clear-Cast is the best they’ve ever seen. That’s because you get virtually all pure uncompressed signals direct from the broadcasters for free. Clear-Cast was engineered to link up directly like a huge outdoor directional antenna but in a lightweight, slim-line package. Its sturdy copper alloy and polymer construction will most likely far outlast your TV. It just couldn’t be any easier to get Free over-the-air digital TV shows with ClearCast. Simply plug it into your TV, place Clear-Cast on a window pane and run autoscan. It works on virtually any model TV and is easily hidden out of sight behind a curtain or window treatment. Thousands of Kendallville area residents are expected to call to get ClearCast because it just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get hundreds of shows absolutely free. So, Kendallville area residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the Free TV Hotline before the 48-hour deadline to get Clear-Cast that pulls in Free TV with crystal clear digital picture. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N

Wife wants hubby to stop doing drugs DEAR ABBY: My husband and I want to start a family, but until now our circumstances have not made this possible. After a big move and starting a new business, we have decided it’s about time. My problem is my husband uses drugs to relieve stress. I don’t feel he abuses them; it just takes the edge off after a hard day’s work like a glass of wine does for me sometimes. I would like him to stop taking the drugs while we are trying to conceive in case it could affect the baby. He’s a hard worker, and I wonder if by asking him to do this I am being selfish. Please give me some advice. — READY FOR MOTHERHOOD IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR READY FOR MOTHERHOOD: You are NOT being selfish, you are being prudent. According to Dr. June Reinisch, director

bloating and gas, add fiber to your diet gradually over several days. Dr. Wolf also recommends the following during flare-ups: Mix a tablespoon of mineral oil with applesauce or yogurt and eat it at breakfast or lunch. This allows stool to slide by more easily. • Strain less. Don’t sit or strain on the toilet for long periods of time. This can cause more hemorrhoids and worsen symptoms. Don’t delay bowel movements during flare-ups. Putting off bowel movements can worsen constipation, aggravating hemorrhoids. Elevate your feet with a step-stool as you sit on the toilet. Doing so changes the position of the rectum, making stools easier to pass. • Consider off-the-shelf remedies. Many over-thecounter products, such as witch hazel-infused pads and soothing creams, are effective.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What are some self-help strategies to treat hemorrhoids? DEAR READER: Hemorrhoids are a common but painful and uncomfortable problem. Fortunately, simple measures can ease most hemorrhoid discomfort and help them heal. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins. Veins carry blood back to the heart. Hemorrhoids can develop in the anus and the rectum, just inside the anus. Many people have both. These swollen blood vessels can bleed. When they get inflamed, they can make bowel movements intensely painful. I spoke with my longtime colleague Dr. Jacqueline Wolf, a gastroenterologist and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. She offered this advice to care for hemorrhoids: • Step up the fiber. Start by adding fiber to your diet. Fiber makes stools softer and

This is because sperm are produced about three months before they are released.”
Your doctor can also prescribe stronger preparations if needed. • Don’t forget sitz baths. Simply soaking the inflamed area in warm water can help reduce inflammation and discomfort. The easiest way to do this is to sit in a bathtub filled with enough water to soak your behind. Some people alternate hot and cold water baths; some add vinegar, salt or baking soda to the water. I’m not sure any of this adds value. If, despite these measures, symptoms worsen or don’t improve, you may need to talk to your doctor about various medical procedures. Some can be done in the office; some involve minor surgery. But the self-help strategies outlined above give relief to most people with hemorrhoids. DR.

Briefs • Florida representative faces cocaine charge WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Trey Radel is expected to make an appearance in D.C. superior court today on a charge of misdemeanor cocaine possession after an Oct. 29 arrest, according to court documents. Radel, 37, is serving his first term in Congress after being elected last November. He faces a maximum 180-day prison term and/or $1,000 fine. “I’m profoundly sorry to let down my family, particularly my wife and son, and the people of Southwest Florida,” Radel said in a statement released by his office. “I struggle with the disease of alcoholism, and this led to an extremely irresponsible choice. As the father of a young son and a husband to a loving wife, I need to get help so I can be a better man for both of them. “However, this unfortunate event does have a positive side. It offers me an opportunity to seek treatment and counseling. I know I have a problem and will do whatever is necessary to overcome it, hopefully setting an example for others struggling with this disease.” Radel formerly worked as a journalist and TV news anchor. “Members of Congress should be held to the highest standards, and the alleged crime will be handled by the courts,” a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement. “Beyond that, this is between Rep. Radel, his family, and his constituents.”
Virginia state senator suffers stab wounds MILLBORO, Va. — Virginia State Sen. Creigh Deeds was hospitalized in fair condition Tuesday with stab wounds to his head and chest after a fight with his son, police said.

Serial killer gets stay of execution attorney general’s office were not returned. If a federal appeals court or the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Laughrey’s ruling, the execution could go forward. Franklin’s attorney, Jennifer Herndon, said the execution warrant allows it to be carried out anytime Wednesday. Herndon said Franklin, who has been diagnosed as mentally ill, didn’t seem to fully understand the stay. “He was happy,” she said. “I’m not really convinced that he totally understands that he was going to die.” Franklin, 63, was convicted of seven other murders, but the Missouri case was the only one resulting in a death sentence. Franklin also has admitted to shooting and wounding civil rights leader Vernon Jordan and Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, who has been paralyzed from the waist down since the attack in 1978. Like other states, Missouri long had used a three-drug execution method. Drugmakers stopped selling those drugs to prisons and corrections departments, so in April 2012 Missouri announced a new one-drug execution protocol using propofol. The state planned to use
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge in Missouri on Tuesday granted a stay of execution to white supremacist serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin just hours before his scheduled death, citing concerns over the state’s new execution method. U.S. District Court Judge Nanette Laughrey ruled that a lawsuit filed by Franklin and 20 other death row inmates challenging Missouri’s execution protocol must be resolved before he is put to death. The 14-page ruling criticizes the timing of the state’s changes to how it carries out capital punishment, specifically its plan to use for the first time a single drug, pentobarbital. It also takes issue with a plan to acquire the drug from a compounding pharmacy. Laughrey wrote that the Missouri Department of Corrections “has not provided any information about the certification, inspection history, infraction history, or other aspects of the compounding pharmacy or of the person compounding the drug.” She noted that the execution protocol, which has changed repeatedly, “has been a frustratingly moving target.” It wasn’t immediately clear whether the state would appeal the ruling. Messages left with the state

propofol for an execution last month. But Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the Missouri Department of Corrections to come up with a new drug after an outcry from the
medical profession over planned use of the popular anesthetic in an execution. Most propofol is made in Europe, and the European Union had threaten to limit exports of it.
Obama, Iran pressing ahead with nuclear negotiations WASHINGTON (AP) — On the eve of new talks, President Barack Obama is plunging ahead in search of a nuclear agreement with Iran despite outright opposition from American allies in the Middle East and deep skepticism, if not open hostility, from Congress. Iran is pressing ahead in its own way, trying to make a deal more likely to ease
painful economic sanctions without losing its own hardliners at home. Obama’s willingness to embrace a pact that falls short of U.N. Security Council demands for Iran to halt uranium enrichment has pushed his administration’s already contentious relationship with Israel to the brink, strained ties with Gulf Arab states and
exacerbated tensions with lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle in Washington. Although everyone claims to have to same goal — preventing Iran from developing atomic weapons — the rancorous, public disagreement over how to achieve it has driven a wedge between the administration and those who the
administration insists will benefit most from a deal. Opponents say Iran is getting too much in the way of sanctions relief for too little in the way of concessions. And, they argue, Iran just can’t be trusted. Obama and his national security team counter that the risk is worth taking. The alternative, they say, is a path to war that no one wants.
There was a fresh sign of efforts to make headway as negotiators from Iran, the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany prepared for Wednesday’s new round of talks in Geneva. British Prime Minister David Cameron contacted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the first such conversa-

tion between the leaders of the two countries in more than a decade. In the run-up to the new talks, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani conceded a longstanding demand that Iran’s right to enrich uranium must be recognized in any deal, and that incited opposition from hardliners in the his country.
