CN considering $8 million project BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — The Central Noble school board on Tuesday set a hearing for its Dec. 17 meeting on a possible $8 million construction project involving the district’s middle and high schools. The proposal would address school security concerns, outdated science labs and needed growth in the cafeteria and other areas of the building, and it would be structured to keep taxes as level as possible, experts told the board. “The hope is that this is the last big project we have to do for a

long period of time,” said Central Noble Superintendent Chris Daughtry. Architect Brian J. Bohlender of Barton-Coe-Vilamaa Architects and Engineers presented three similar plans as possibilities Tuesday. Each plan includes combining the offices of the middle and high schools into a single office, with a single, secure main entrance to the building the two schools share. The centralized office is needed for security, board member Chris Brazel said. Geoff Brose, principal of both

schools, agreed. “You can’t be efficient running two offices,” he said. The plan also would call for improved and expanded cafeteria and kitchen space for the school and upgrading science labs set up between the 1970s and the 1990s for 21st century science classes., Bohlender said. The project also includes a wellness addition with an auxiliary gym. It’s needed for a variety of activities, both during the day and after school hours, Brose said. Board president Rodney Stayner said the winter drumline is

AVILLA — Tuesday’s third and final meeting on the future of East Noble Middle School attracted a larger and more vocal crowd than the first two gatherings. Fifty people attended Tuesday’s meeting in the Avilla school, following sessions Thursday in Kendallville and Monday in Rome City. The school board is scheduled to review citizen comments from the meetings tonight, but a decision on the school’s future is not expected at the board meeting at 6 p.m. in South Side Elementary School. Tuesday night, Superintendent Ann Linson presented three options for the middle school and their estimated costs: full renovation of the existing building for $24.7 million; adding to the building and razing deteriorating sections, $22.7 million; and constructing a new building on a new site, $24 million. All three options include two gymnasiums, compared to one in the existing building. “Our plan is we must do something to that building,” but the solution depends on the community’s wishes, Linson said in response to one citizen’s question.

City experiences job creation BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Industrial and commercial expansions will create 64 new jobs in Kendallville. The City Council Tuesday night approved tax abatements for Creative Liquid Coatings and its affiliated real estate entity, Creative Molding & Finishing LLC, and a tax abatement for R.W. Jenkins Automotive. Creative Liquid Coatings occupies the former Budd Co. building at 2620 E. Marion Drive and the former Tower Automotive building at 221 S. Progress Drive. It is acquiring the vacant Johnson Controls Interior Manufacturing building at 300 S. Progress Drive. All the buildings are in the East Industrial Park.

The Johnson Controls facility closed in August 2012 with a loss of 170 jobs. Creative Molding & Finishing LLC was granted three years of abatement on $708,500 for the eligible vacant Johnson Controls building. The state allows a maximum three years for taking over an industrial building that had been vacant at least one year. Creative Liquid Coatings Inc. was granted five years of abatement on new equipment with an assessed value of $3.2 million. The company plans to move new molding and painting application equipment, molding machines and robotic painting robots into the Johnson Controls building, said general manager Stephen Geist.

Gettysburg Address given 150 years ago 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. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia administered the oath of allegiance to a group of 16 immigrants, telling them the national identity is unique, illustrated by the existence of

the word “un-American” and by the people’s “fidelity to certain political principles.” Greta Myer, 44, decided to make the six-hour trip from Akron, Ohio, with her husband

and son after spending a week in Gettysburg earlier in the year. “It’s something we’ve never done before,” Myer said. “It was a historical event that we wanted to be a part of.”

Funding delay causes Northeastern Center losses 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-todate 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 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, 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.

3 vehicles collide on Main Street KENDALLVILLE — A three-vehicle chain-reaction collision Friday caused an estimated $10,000 to $25,000 damage, Kendallville police said. At about 12:30 p.m., police were dispatched to the 400 block of North Main Street. A 2010 Toyota Camry driven by Lourdes Garcia, 52, of the 1100 block of Woodland Drive, Kendallville, was northbound when it failed to stop in time to avoid a collision. The Toyota struck a stopped 1997 Chevrolet Lumina driven by Amy M. Tucker, 25, of Garrett. The impact pushed the Chevrolet into the rear of a stopped 2001 Chrysler 300 driven by Gilbert L. Mefferd, 35, of the 700 block of West Rush Street, Kendallville. No injuries were reported.

Pitbull struck at U.S. 6 intersection KENDALLVILLE — A Jeep sustained an estimated $1,000 to $2,500 damage when it struck a dog at the intersection of U.S. 6 East and Rogers Road Monday, Kendallville police said. The 2008 Jeep Cherokee, driven by Don V. Dettmer, 79, of Auburn, was westbound at about 11 a.m. when it struck a pitbull in the roadway.

Churubusco man killed in crash CHURUBUSCO — A one-car crash in rural Churubusco Tuesday afternoon killed a Churubusco man who was fleeing police, Indiana State Police said. Tristan Andrew Bender,

26, was transported by Samaritan helicopter to Parkview Regional Medical Center at Fort Wayne, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police said that at

approximately 1:54 p.m., a 1989 Dodge Neon driven by Bender was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed in the 6900 block of east County Road 150 N, just west of Johnson Road. Bender

had been attempting to elude the Churubusco Town Marshal, who was pursuing him with his emergency equipment activated, police said. Bender’s vehicle traveled left of center and

went off of the north side of the road, where it struck a tree head-on. Bender, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time, was ejected from his vehicle. The crash remains under investigation, and

police said it is not yet known whether drugs or alcohol were involved. Assisting at the scene were the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department, Whitley County EMS and Churubusco Fire Department.

IMPACT director retiring KENDALLVILLE — Tim Holcomb, director of IMPACT Institute, will retire June 30, and a search has begun for his replacement, the DeKalb Eastern school board learned Monday night. Holcomb has served as director of the program

said the hope is to have a replacement identified by the school board’s Dec. 16 meeting and in place by Jan. 1. The person hired would work alongside Holcomb until his retirement to learn details of the position, Stephens said.

Man arrested for alleged spice sales FROM STAFF REPORTS

ANGOLA — A one month undercover investigation that involved federal authorities resulted in the arrest of a man from Angola and Coldwater, Mich., for the alleged sale of synthetic marijuana, a Steuben County Sheriff’s Department news release said. Richard Newsome, 33, was arrested following a series of events. Officers checking on a Steuben County Community Corrections offender who was believed to have illegal substances led to turning over information about the sale of synthetic

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. Newsome 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. Agencies involved in the investigation include the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department, Angola Police, IMAGE and DEA.

Former Garrett physician arrested BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com

CONNERSVILLE — A physician who formerly had an office in DeKalb County was one of three men arrested Thursday in southern Indiana for allegedly forging prescriptions for narcotic painkillers at the Fayette Regional Health System. Dr. David N. Ringel, 54, was booked into the Fayette County Jail on four counts of conspiracy to commit dealing in a controlled substance, a Class B felony, and four counts of conspiracy to commit forgery, a Class C felony. Ringel also faces two Class A felony charges of conspiracy to commit dealing in a controlled substance, according to Fayette County Prosecuting Attorney Ken Faw. The case was investigated by the Indiana Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Ringel opened a family medical practice at 112 N. Randolph St. in Garrett on June 27, 2005. The phone number for that office has been disconnected. A former patient, who asked not to be identified, said he believed the practice had closed within the last six months to one year. Ringel is a native of Hamilton, Ohio, and was board-certified in family medical practice by Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Also arrested in the case Thursday were: • Dr. Daniel Palmer, 56, on charges including seven Class A felony counts and

one Class B felony count of conspiracy to commit dealing in a narcotic drug; and • Jeff Ferryman, 50, a physician’s assistant, on charges including seven Class A felony counts and one Class B felony count of dealing in a narcotic drug. Another physician’s assistant at the Fayette Regional Health System, David M. Wulff, had been charged earlier with dealing in narcotics, dealing in

controlled substances, forgery and acquiring controlled substances by fraud. “Overprescribing of powerful opiate painkillers across our state has contributed in part to the epidemic of prescription drug abuse in Indiana and fueled addiction at the expense of patients’ safety and health,” Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a news release about the investigation.

he said Huntertown’s move encroaches into Noble County. He said the commissioners could find the move to be improper. The commissioners voted 2-0 to send a letter to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission opposing Huntertown’s move. “It’s hard for me to get around the idea that Huntertown would enact an ordinance that encompasses part of Noble County, let alone DeKalb County,” Leatherman said. Ober said Huntertown cannot pass an ordinance that is binding beyond its jurisdictional boundaries. Courts struck down a similar ordinance Chandler, Ind., sought to impose, he said.

ALBION — The Noble County Board of Commissioners voted 2-0 Monday to send a letter opposing Huntertown’s efforts to claim water utility service territory in Noble and DeKalb counties. Huntertown notified the county by letter that it has passed an ordinance claiming four miles outside its city limits for its water and sewer utilities, said Commissioner Gary Leatherman. That would extend one-half mile north of LaOtto in Noble County, he said. Because Huntertown is near the DeKalb County line, the proposed territory

also would extend into DeKalb County. Noble County attorney Dennis Graft said the Huntertown ordinance extends the sewer utility only to the border of Allen County, in which the city is located. But the ordinance extends the full four miles into Noble and DeKalb counties for the water utility, he said. State Rep. David Ober, R-Albion, who attended Monday’s commissioners meeting, said Huntertown is making a move in a long-running utility struggle with Fort Wayne. While Ober said he wouldn’t recommend getting into the Huntertown-Fort Wayne situation,

The home of Loren and Mary Allen, 224 S. Burnam St., is included on this year’s Kendallville Christmas Walk. The walk

is Saturday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. and features tours of five homes and Floral Hall on the Noble County Fairgrounds.

Allen home has 11 rooms House, five others featured on Kendallville Christmas Walk KENDALLVILLE — Loren and Mary Allen have called the beautiful, classic dwelling at 224 S. Burnam St. home for the past nine years. ‘‘In just nine years of living here we’ve made so many wonderful family memories,’’ said Mary Allen, the mother of five and grandmother of six. The Allen’s home is included on this year’s Kendallville Christmas Walk. The Kendallville Christmas Bureau will benefit from the event. The Christmas Walk is set for Saturday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. It will feature five homes and Floral Hall at the Noble County Fairgrounds. Built in 1894 by Will and Lena Rose, the Allen’s two-story home has 11 rooms. It sits on two city lots and features original stained glass windows and hardwood flooring. Their large yard is filled with maple trees and is surrounded by a white picket fence. The Allens have improved their home by enlarging and remodeling the kitchen, replacing an aging carriage house and adding a new concrete semi-circular drive. Visitors will see a collection of hand-painted Santas and an aluminum Christmas tree purchased at G.C. Murphy Co. that is now a family heirloom. Other homes on the

walk will be those of Tom and Darlene Gisel at 208 S. Morton St., Dennis and Pam Musselman at 237 S. Burnam St., Phil and Sue Stephan at 112 S. Orchard St., and Edward and Annette Weber at 439 S. Water St. Floral Hall at the Noble County Fairgrounds will house several vendors and

offer refreshments. Tickets for the event are on sale at The News Sun, Orizon Real Estate and the Kendallville Youth Center. Proceeds from the walk will go to the Kendallville Christmas Bureau. Tickets are $8 in advance. They will be available the day of the walk at each home and at Floral Hall for $10. A toy drop box will be at the Musselman home. Those donating toys will be included in a drawing for a gift bag from 31.

said they believe the school district needs a new middle school for its 600 students in grades 7 and 8. As in the first two meetings, Linson detailed numerous disadvantages of the existing building, parts of which date back to 1915. Parents in the audience then added their observations. One woman who previously worked at the middle school commented on the lack of air conditioning. “Until the end of October, it was brutally hot in that building. … The kids can’t learn when it’s 95 degrees in that room,” she said. Another parent said East Noble schools are very advanced, “and when they go into the middle school, it’s like they go back to a school in the early ’80s.” She added, “safety is an issue” at the middle school because it has three floors and many staircases. A woman who identified herself as a neighbor of the middle school said she appreciates historic things, but she wants a new school for the students. Only one member of the audience spoke in favor of remaining at the existing site. One man in the audience asked, “Where in the world would you find rationale to stay in the same building, renovated” if a new school carries roughly the same cost as renovation. He added,

Gay marriage battle looms 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, 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, however, 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

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.

Administrators’ pay, calendar on board’s agenda for tonight BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — Administrators’ pay raises, the 2014-2015 school calendar and an overview of the East Noble Middle School public meetings are among agenda items for tonight’s East Noble School Board of Trustees meeting. Trustees will meet at 6 p.m. at South Side Elementary School. Superintendent Ann Linson is expected to report on recent public “What would the reason be for even hesitating to go forward with a project like that? It’s been needed for a long time.” Discussion turned to possible sites for a new school. School officials said East Noble owns 35.9 acres across the road from South Side Elementary School, but approximately six of those acres are not usable. Building on that land would save an estimated $350,000, but at that location, middle school students still would have to share the high school football field and track. “It would take some evaluation to see if it’s

meetings about the future of the East Noble Middle School building. Meetings were held over the past week at Avilla and Rome City elementary schools and the middle school. East Noble officials are seeking public input on whether to renovate or add to the old building or build a new school building at a different site. In addition to pay raises for administrators, trustees also will consider a pay raise for the school district’s All Write!! coordinator. really conducive to a school building,” Linson said about the South Side land. A possible site that has been mentioned frequently is at the south edge of Kendallville on the west side of S.R. 3, near the intersection with South Main Street, Linson said. In response to questions, Linson said the middle school would be the district’s last major building project for the foreseeable future. Linson said she is willing to go to service clubs and businesses or meet one-on-one to explain the options for the middle school.

a burden on taxpayers. The $8 million in bonds for the project would include $6.44 million in construction costs, Pletcher said. Under the proposal, bond payments wouldn’t start until 2016. They would be structured to keep the corporation’s debt at the same level as in the prior three years. The corporation’s debt would stay the same through 2023, at which time it would drop off, Pletcher said. The proposed bond structure

would keep total debt at $1.36 million per year until 2023, when debt would fall to about $845,000 per year. The board made no decisions Tuesday other than to schedule the public hearing. No plan has been chosen yet. If the project proceeds, it is within the range in which a petition remonstrance against it could be filed. If enough signatures against it were filed, it could be canceled. Also Tuesday, the board:

• accepted the retirement of Central Noble Community School Corp. business manager Stan Jacob, effective Jan. 31, 2014. Jacob has worked with the corporation for 29 years. • received the resignation of Andy Hopkins as Central Noble High School varsity track coach. • put out a request for proposals for the corporation’s accounts to banks within the district boundaries.

four new jobs and retain five jobs, according to the company’s abatement application. The location lies within a designated Economic Development Target Area, making it eligible for abatement.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Staff from two Lafayettearea schools heavily damaged in severe storms that raked Indiana prepared Tuesday to resume classes at new locations. The National Weather Service confirmed at least 26 tornadoes hit Indiana on Sunday in the third largest such outbreak in one day in state history, meanwhile, and some of the thousands of Hoosiers still without electricity learned they might not have power restored until late Friday. Tippecanoe School Corp. Superintendent Scott Hanback told his board of trustees that nearly 1,000 students from Southwestern Middle School and Mintonye Elementary School will resume classes Monday at a middle school with extra space available and at a church, the Journal & Courier reported. “We know this: We aren’t going to have school at Southwestern and Mintonye for a long time,” Hanback said. The weather service has not yet determined whether damage at the schools was caused by a tornado or straight-line winds. It’s the second straight year that severe weather has left Indiana schools too damaged to continue classes. A tornado tore through southern Indiana’s

Henryville Junior-Senior High School on March 2, 2012. Teachers from Mintonye were allowed to enter the school earlier Tuesday to collect belongings. Only authorized personnel were allowed near the more severely damaged middle school. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security remained in the early stages of assessing whether the damage from Sunday’s storms was extensive enough to request federal disaster aid, spokesman John Erickson said. He urged government officials and individual residents to report damage to the state quickly. “The sooner we get that information … the better picture we have of how much damage we have and where we need to follow up,” Erickson said. Indiana utilities reported more than 16,500 customers remained without electricity Tuesday. That included nearly 7,300 customer of Indiana Michigan Power Co., which warned some of its customers in the Marion area might not have service restored until late Friday. Duke Energy said most of its approximately 9,300 customers without power Tuesday were in its Lafayette and Kokomo districts.

East Noble senior Madison Cook looks inside during Tuesday’s contest with Fort Wayne Concordia. The Knights lost 55-40.

KENDALLVILLE — The points didn’t come as easily for East Noble on Tuesday. After producing a school record 90 points in its seasonopener three days earlier, East Noble was limited to 40 points in Tuesday’s home opener with Fort Wayne Concordia, falling 55-40 to the Cadets. “When we struggle to score at the beginning, we struggle the whole way through,” said East Noble coach DeAnn Booth. “Defensively we were OK for the most part. Offensively we were out of sync, couldn’t get shots to fall, missed 13 free throws.” The 90-point outburst came against Eastside. “We shot 48 percent from the field, took 76 shots,” Booth explained. “We came out, got rolling right away and were in sync offensively. We were able to fast break and get some easy layups.” The Knights were 13-8 a year ago in Booth’s first season after winning a total of just 11 games in the two previous seasons. It was East Noble’s best record in over a decade.

The Knights have eight seniors on the roster this season: Kerri Schrock, Samantha Ihrie, Audrey Slone, Tiffani Wilson, Madison Cook, Kourtney Edwards, Kavan Edwards and Jacey Cauhorn. “We have eight seniors that have played together for years,” Booth said. “The expectation is that they are not easily flustered, but I don’t think we are there just yet. We need to be able to work through adversity better than we did tonight.” Jaymee Wolfe is the lone junior, with the sophomore contingent made up of Chandler Jones and Paige DeCamp. Lanie Allen also made the varsity team as a freshman. Wilson led East Noble scorers on Tuesday against Concordia with 16 points. Kavan Edwards followed with seven points and Schrock finished with five points. Also scoring were Kourtney Edwards (4 points), Jones (3), Wolfe (2), Cook (2) and Cauhorn (1). It was the opening game of the season for Concordia, which was 18-7 a year ago and made it to the regional finals. The Cadets beat East Noble for the

sixth-consecutive time. “We always talk about the first four minutes of the first quarter and the third quarter, a great start is really important,” said Concordia coach Dave Miller. “They have a lot of experience, there were so many seniors, it was important.” East Noble went nearly four minutes without scoring at the outset. The Cadets scored seven unanswered points during the drought. Cauhorn put the Knights on the scoreboard with a free throw and Wilson had the team’s lone field goal in the opening quarter. Concordia went to the final four minutes of the quarter without scoring, but still led 7-3 after one quarter. A 5-0 run midway through the second quarter on two points apiece from Schrock and Wolfe, along with a Jones free throw, helped East Noble pull even at 9-9. That turned out to be as close as Concordia would allow the Knights to get. The Cadets held on to a 15-11 margin at the half, then pulled away with several third-period three-pointers.

Defense helps Garrett send Cougars to loss BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

ALBION — On a night where Garrett struggled to make a shot outside of five feet, the Railroaders relied on their pressure defense to gain separation from Central Noble Tuesday night. Garrett forced 26 turnovers, 16 in the second half, and tallied 14 steals as the Railroaders defeated the host Cougars 53-28 in non-conference action in Albion. “Our defense turned it around,” said Garrett coach Bob Lapadot. “(Central Noble) did a good job scrapping. They’re a much improved team and we couldn’t make a shot, mostly because they were so physical we were looking to get hit and weren’t focused. “In the second half with our trap defense, we were able to get some lay-ups. That helped.” Of Garrett’s (3-0) 14 steals, 11 came in the second half when the Railroaders increased its half-court and full-court pressure. The Railroaders’ leading scorer, senior Brandi Dawson, was the driving force with six second-half steals — five in the fourth quarter. On three straight possessions in the final period, Dawson stole the ball and followed with a lay-up to push Garrett’s lead to 45-23 with 5:31

left in the game. “We … tried to work on that in practice, but it’s hard to simulate that,” said CN coach Lynford Yoder. “They’re a really physical team, a really athletic team that caused a lot of problems for us. “We had a lot of turnovers. That killed us, especially against a good team like that.” Dawson led the Railroaders with 24 points on 9 of 16 shooting. She also added five rebounds, four assists and a game-high seven steals. Outside of Dawson, Garrett struggled to make baskets. The remaining six players to attempt shots Tuesday night were a combined 13 of 46 (28 percent). As a whole, the Railroaders were 1 of 17 from 3-point land. Looking at those numbers alone, it might be a surprise to see Garrett win comfortably by 25 points. “I kept looking at the scoreboard thinking we’ve got to have 50-60 points, and it’s 27-19,” Lapadot said. “And I’m thinking, man oh man. When you can win games different ways, that’s what makes you a good team. We were able to win offensively the first two games, and (Tuesday night) defense turned into offense and that was good to see.” SEE COUGARS, PAGE B3

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 had nine points and Taylor Fisher scored eight for West Noble. “We knew coming in here we would be in for a fight,” Berger said of the road victory. “We’re a very young team so there’s going to be these types of games. But as long as we stick to our game plan, we’ll be alright.” West Noble coach Dale Marano said his team was disappointed with the loss but will find some good in it. “We showed some promise tonight,” Marano said. “There were times during the game where we were very, very good and now we’re looking for that consistency. Despite the disappointing loss there’s a lot of promising things that are going to push us through.” SEE CHARGERS, PAGE B3

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.

KNIGHTS: East Noble claims junior varsity victory FROM PAGE B1

Concordia took its first double-digit lead just over two minutes into the half following a triple by Taylor Sparks. By the end of the quarter, the Cadets had built a 39-22 lead. Despite opening the fourth quarter with a 7-1 spurt, East Noble never got closer than 11 points the rest of the game. Courtney Smith led Concordia with 19 points. DeJour Young added 10 points. East Noble plays at Fort Wayne North Side on Friday before returning to Kendallville for a four-game home stand with contests against Lakeland, New Haven, Northrop and Bellmont. The contest against New Haven is Dec. 7 and will open the Northeast Hoosier Conference season for both teams. The Knights will feature basketball doubleheaders with the girls and boys playing on the same night on Jan. 22 at home against Central Noble and Feb. 6 at Garrett. JAMES FISHER The Knights scored a 36-22 victory in the junior varsity game. Paige DeCamp led the East Noble’s Chandler Jones (32) East Noble JV with 10 points.

COUGARS: Garrett slips past 29-28 in JV meeting FROM PAGE B1

For Garrett, Taylor Smith chipped in nine points and eight rebounds, Emily Somers had six points and eight rebounds, and Rachel Stafford had five points off the bench. Kaitlin Wisel had a balanced night with three points, five rebounds and five assists. Tiffany Simcox led Central Noble (0-2) with 10 points and seven rebounds, Jordan Askren scored six points off the bench, and Courtney Freeman had four rebounds. Garrett shot 30 more field goal attempts than the Cougars, 62-32. “We didn’t shoot the ball as well as we did in the first game,” Yoder said. “My goal for them was not to back down. I saw that through a lot of the game. We had a little spurt there at the end of the first half and that was pretty good. It got a little bit out of hand at the end of the game.”

A basket by Drue Bodey with 2:40 left in the first half gave Garrett a 28-12 lead. But Central Noble held the Railroaders scoreless for the rest of the half and the first three minutes of the third quarter, using a 7-0 run to cut the Railroader advantage to 28-19. But Garrett’s defense was too much from there, embarking on a 23-4 run over the next eight minutes to lead 51-23 before both teams gave way to substitutes. Dawson scored 14 of her 24 points during the decisive run. Garrett 29 JV, Central Noble 28 Lyndsey Gibson and Megan Newby led Garrett with nine and eight points, respectively, in Garrett’s 29-28 victory. Ally Gofftried chipped in seven points.

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, also on Friday.

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?

It would be much more public and democratic, but also likely more difficult, to eviscerate the Department of Education through the legislative process, as our legislators would likely get more than an earful. I suspect this is why Pence, Fiddien-Green and others are working so hard to make the transfer of authority happen before the beginning of the next legislative session in January. 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

‘Dueling Dinosaurs’ fail to sell at auction NEW YORK (AP) — Two fossilized dinosaur skeletons, dubbed the “Montana Dueling Dinosaurs” because they appear forever locked in mortal combat, failed to sell Tuesday at a New York City auction. A pre-sale estimate had predicted that the skeletons, offered as a single lot, could fetch between $7 million and $9 million — a price out of the reach of most museums. There were hopes that a wealthy buyer would donate the skeletons to a public institution but the price failed to meet the reserve at the Bonhams auction; the highest offer was $5.5 million. Auction officials said they remained hopeful a buyer could be found, possibly among institutions that previously expressed interest. “We already had parties contacting us in advance of the sale, that should they not sell, please keep us in mind, we’re very interested,” said Thomas Lindgren, Bonhams co-consulting director of natural history.

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.”

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

JP Morgan makes settlement for selling toxic assets WASHINGTON (AP) — JPMorgan Chase & Co. has reached a record $13 billion settlement with federal and state authorities, resolving claims over the bank’s sales of low-quality, high-risk mortgage-backed securities that collapsed in value during the U.S. housing crisis. The agreement is the latest chapter in the bursting of the housing bubble. “Without a doubt, the conduct uncovered in this investigation helped sow the seeds of the mortgage meltdown,” Attorney General Eric Holder said. “JPMorgan was not the only financial institution during this period to knowingly bundle toxic loans and sell them to unsuspecting investors, but that is no excuse for the firm’s behavior.” The settlement announced Tuesday requires JPMorgan to pay $9 billion and provide $4 billion in consumer relief, including principal reductions and other mortgage modifications for homeowners facing foreclosure. According to a document filed as part of the settlement, JPMorgan acknowledged that it regularly represented to investors that mortgage loans in various securities complied with underwriting guidelines. Contrary to those representations, on a number of occasions JPMorgan employees knew that the securities did not comply

with those underwriting guidelines, the Justice Department said. On Monday, the Justice Department’s No. 2 official said too many financial institutions had failed in their duty to ensure that their businesses were run cleanly. Recounting the conduct common to many banks including JPMorgan, Deputy Attorney General James Cole told the American Bankers Association that too many supervisors incentivized excessive risk taking, knowing that risky products “could be unloaded down the road, … leaving someone else to deal with the consequences.” The final issue in the settlement revolved around the $4 billion to compensate consumers. Some $1.5 billion will be a write-down to reduce the principal of homeowner loans; $300 million will enable homeowners to pay less now on their mortgages; and the remainder of the $4 billion will go toward reducing mortgage interest rates, originating new loans and helping revive blighted properties in some of the hardest hit areas of the housing crisis, such as Detroit. An independent monitor will be appointed to oversee the assistance to homeowners. The agreement eclipses the record $4 billion levied on oil giant BP in January over the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

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. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called the bombings “senseless and despicable,” and said “our hearts go out to the Iranian people after this violent and unjustifiable attack claimed the life of at least one of their diplomats. The dead Iranian was identified as Ibrahim Ansari, a 54-year-old diplomat who took up his post a month ago and was overseeing regional cultural activities, said Iranian Ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi, speaking to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV from inside the embassy compound. Also among the dead was Radwan Fares, a Lebanese national who headed the facility’s security, according to a Lebanese official at the embassy who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give official statements.

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. A link to donate via PayPal did not appear to be working Tuesday. In this latest scuffle, both Zimmerman and his girlfriend called 911 and provided dueling descriptions to dispatchers about the argument at the home she rented where Zimmerman was also staying. Scheibe accused him in the emergency call of pointing a gun at her, smashing a coffee table and then pushing her outside. Zimmerman also called dispatchers, denied pointing a gun at her and blamed her for the broken table.

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

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.

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

emerita of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction: “There is some evidence that suggests certain drugs can attach to the sperm and therefore affect the fetus. So the best plan for DEAR a healthy would ABBY baby be for the man to be as ‘clean’ Jeanne Phillips as possible before he starts to make a child. 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. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is: AskDoctorK.com.

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. His son was dead, having apparently taken his own life after the altercation. The 2009 Democratic nominee for governor was found walking along a road near his home by a cousin. State troopers then found the son, Austin “Gus” Deeds, with a gunshot wound at his father’s home. They were unable to save him. No one else was home at the time of the altercation, and no other suspects are being sought, according to police. Deeds’ cousin and took Creigh Deeds to a nearby farm and called 911. Creigh Deeds was airlifted to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville.

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.
