ANGOLA — An Ashley woman who allegedly tried to poison her husband is facing a charge of attempted aggravated battery, a Class B felony.

Renee Marie Mansfield, 25, allegedly substituted rat poison for her husband’s prescription seizure medicine. The incident was brought to the attention of Ashley Police and the Steuben County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday.

Court records said Mansfield’s husband notified Ashley Police when he noticed a white substance in Mansfield’s purse. It turned

out to be the drug she had been removing from her husband’s medicine, court records said.

Mansfield is facing up to 20 years in prison if found guilty. She is being held in Steuben County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. “I just snapped. I Mansfield didn’t want to hurt him,� Mansfield told investigators Tuesday, court records said.

Mansfield and her husband reportedly had been arguing.

During questioning by police, Mansfield allegedly said she made the substitution in the pills so her husband would sleep in and have to stay home from work, which would allow them time to talk about their differences.

Initially, Mansfield told police she was substituting a caffeine substance for the prescription medicine. Upon comparing the particular caffeine with the prescription medicine, they learned that Mansfield had not done what she had told police, court records said.

Investigators asked Mansfield’s husband if there was any rat

KENDALLVILLE — East Noble school district officials are dealing with an unacceptable level of coliform bacteria in the Rome City School’s water.

At Wednesday night’s East Noble school board meeting, school corporation business manager Brian Leitch explained what is being done to isolate the cause of an elevated level of the bacteria detected about 2 1/2 weeks ago.

The bacteria is an indicator of the sanitary quality of the water and not normally the cause of serious illness, he said. Testing indicates it’s at the low end of the acceptable level, according to Leitch.

No students have become ill from the coliform bacteria in the water, said Superintendent Ann Linson. “When it was detected, we moved quickly to prevent use of the water,� she said. Water drinking fountains were closed and water stations were set up in the school, with outside water brought in for students.

Famlies were notified by email using the school district’s power announcements as soon as officials learned about the problem. A letter

DeKalb County Sheriff’s Deputy Aaron Long said Braden was driving westbound on S.R. 8 when the trailer tipped at approximately 3:59 p.m. as Braden attempted to turn south onto C.R. 35. Braden was not injured.

Long said there were no signs of excessive speed, and that likely a gust of wind hit the trailer, causing it to overturn. Braden, who was hauling for NX Enterprises in Auburn, said he has been driving trucks for 11 years and this is the first time his trailer has overturned.

Council tables garage sale issue

BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — The City Council Tuesday night tabled further action on regulating garage sales after receiving criticism about a proposed ordinance limiting the number of sales and requiring a permit fee. “I had no idea there would be so many against this,� said Councilman Jim Dazey, chairman of the law and ordinance committee, who introduced the ordinance for first reading Nov. 5.

The ordinance was eligible for

second reading Tuesday night.

Dazey said he had received a number of comments from citizens, and he showed the council letters for and against the ordinance.

Mayor Suzanne Handshoe told the council her office received several comments for and against regulating garage and yard sales.

As of Wednesday, her office had received eight comments against the ordinance and five in favor of it. “Early this summer we had received numerous complaints

Obama pays respect to JFK, awards medals WASHINGTON (AP) — Honoring the legacy of John F. Kennedy, President Barack Obama laid a wreath at the assassinated president’s gravesite as a nation remembers that terrible day in Dallas a half-century ago Friday.

Obama also recognized a group of distinguished Americans — including Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey — with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an award created by Kennedy.

Obama was joined at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday by Clinton, and each president held hands with Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy, as they climbed a flight of stairs to the burial site on a steep hillside overlooking the nation’s capital.

First lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton helped their husbands place a large wreath of white flowers in front of the roped-off gravesite of America’s 35th president, which is marked by an ever-burning flame.

West Noble survey favors balanced calendar

Student cited for possessing tobacco KENDALLVILLE — An East Noble High School student was cited for possession tobacco at the school after officials received a report of an odor of cigarettes coming from a restroom.

At 12:03 p.m. Monday, school officials began an investigation of the report and questioned a 15-yearold boy from Kendallville.

He allegedly admitted he had tobacco.

The student was cited into Noble Superior Court No. 2, said Sgt. John Dixon, East Noble resource officer.

The student also faces disciplinary action from the school corporation.

Crash damages four vehicles KENDALLVILLE — Four vehicles were involved in a collision Saturday night on U.S. 6 at the East Avenue intersection, resulting in an estimated $25,000 to $50,000 damage, according to a police news release.

At about 6:40 p.m., a 2004 Dodge Ram pickup truck driven by Joel E. Grate, 30, of Waterloo, was traveling eastbound when it struck the rear of a stopped 1999 Ford Taurus driven

by Beulah M. Rathburn, 70, of the 100 block of Veterans Way, Kendallville.

Rathburn told police she had stopped to turn north.

The impact pushed the Taurus into the westbound lane, where it struck a 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass driven

by Christina L. Woodward, 38, of the 1000 block of Bellvue Drive, Kendallville.

The Taurus then crossed the westbound lanes and continued northbound on East Avenue, where it struck a parked 2007 Saturn registered to Randall L. Frye, of the 300 block of East North Street. The Saturn ended up lodged against an I & M utility pole support cable.

Rathburn complained of pain to her foot and arranged private transportation from the scene, police said. No other injuries were reported.

LIGONIER — Preliminary results of a survey taken by the West Noble School Corp. show a majority of parents, teachers and staff favor a more balanced school calendar.

The corporation is conducting the survey to gather input on how it structures its annual calendar including vacations and breaks.

More than 300 people have completed the survey, with most of those doing so over the Internet. The survey still can be completed by going to the West Noble website: westnoble.k12. in.us.

One of the key questions focused on a balanced calendar, which generally means a shorter summer break and longer breaks throughout the year.

Based on West Noble’s survey, 218 people favor a balanced calendar, with 99 saying they were against it.

West Noble Superintendent Dr. Dennis VanDuyne said the survey and its interpretation will continue as part of the corporation’s long-range planning process.

“We have compiled the results received so far and shared those results with the school board,” VanDuyne said. “The board asked that we leave the survey open longer to allow even more people to respond.”

The school board has asked VanDuye to do additional research on calendars of area schools and to develop sample calendars.

“I expect the board to approve a final calendar for the 2014-15 school year by about the end of January,” he said.

VanDuyne said the survey also shows strong support for building more “snow days” into the school calendar. Results also showed various levels of interest in increasing collaboration time for teachers by

delaying school start time one day a week.

Survey takers were asked to offer reasons why they favor a balanced calendar.

That breakdown is: • demonstrates achievement gains: 208 people • saves money: 64 • teacher stress relief: 105 • increases family vacation options: 57 • similar to other area school calendars: 90 The responses on other questions were balanced, for the most part.

Here are the questions and responses: • Starting date of school year — 148 said continue past practice; 87 said start school year earlier; 84 said start school year later; • Starting school late one day a week for teaching planning — 100 strongly support the idea; 128 said they would like to try it for a year; 89 do not support the idea; • Fall break — 255 said keep the current practice of a four-day weekend at the end of October; 62 said they would prefer the break to be one day shorter • Winter break — 271 favor of keeping current practice, 46 said keep it as brief as possible; • Make-up days (bad weather) — 229 said add more make-up days into the calendar; 17 said no more make-up days; 70 said add one or two make-up days • Parent-teacher conferences — 167 said keep the current practice and format; 59 said conferences should be scheduled for all students; 91 said conferences should be scheduled for struggling students.

Results were broken out by parents, staff, students, patrons and residents.

About 140 respondents identified themselves as parents; approximately 180 were West Noble employees; 37 were students; 47 said they were patrons; and 75 were listed as residents.

Legion leader visits Garrett

BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — The national leader of American Legion stopped in Garrett Tuesday during a three-day trip throughout Indiana.

National Commander Dan Dellinger was escorted to Garrett Post 178 by some 30 American Legion Riders and greeted by dozens of area post commanders and district dignitaries under an avenue of American flags.

Dellinger shared his vision during remarks to Legion members following a dinner prepared by the Garrett American Legion Auxiliary.

He recognized Robert “Bob”Newman of Garrett, one of the national vice commanders.

“It’s been a real pleasure to serve with him this year,” Dellinger said.

Dellinger said he likes to visit the various Legion posts to thank them for what they do for the community and for veterans.

His motto for this year stems from his background in construction.

“I know that you need a strong foundation to build anything that lasts, and the American Legion has that foundation with 95 years of great service to our veterans and to our communities and our nation,” he said.

Dellinger is pragmatic about his duties as national commander, citing jobs and education that are needed for the 1.2 million soldiers who will be coming off of active duty in the drawdown and through budget cuts.

“We are here to help,” he said.

“They are going to need jobs.

They are going to need people to assist them with integration back into civilian life. We need to be there for our vets.”

Last year, the American Legion cosponsored 295 job fairs and untold others that Dellinger said he was not aware of.

“We are responsible for our veterans. That’s where membership comes into play. We have the numbers — 4 million members. It is important to tell them who we are and what we do,” he said.

That includes consolidated post reporting, including the number of funerals, programs for youth, children and veterans.

“Those are things we need to document,” he said.

Dellinger said he estimated 220,000 men and women were assisted through various programs such as scholarships, school awards, Boys and Girls State, and many other projects, with $22 million in support.

The statistics account for only 57 percent of all posts, because the rest did not file reports, he said.

Dellinger will be returning to his home in Vienna, Va., near Washington D.C., at the end of the week.

“Politics has replaced patriotism in this country — this is not a healthy sign, as far as I know,” Dellinger said. “But we, the American Legion, the largest veterans organization, need to make sure that Washington is well aware that they need to take care of our veterans” He shared hardships many faced during the recent government shutdown and spoke of a news conference he held in front of the World War II memorial in Washington. A reporter asked him who was to blame for the situation.

“I don’t blame right or left, but I blame the House, Senate and the president for not carrying out the duties they were sent to Washington to do,” he responded.

“As the chief spokesman for the Legion, it is what we do in our communities, it is what we do to take care of our veterans that keeps us on the right path,” Dellinger said.

Commander Art Evans, left, of the Garrett American Legion Post 178 presents $500 to National Legion Commander Dan Dellinger for the National Emergency Fund. Bob Miller,

Dellinger’s commander project for the year is the National Emergency Fund. Last year the Legion gave more than $750,000 in grants to help veterans and their families through natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, wildfires and floods.

“It’s not whether these natural disasters will happen, it is the where and when” with recent weather anomalies, he added.

Dellinger’s scheduled stop in Kokomo Tuesday was scuttled due to power outages that remained in the tornado-damaged city.

His goal is to raise $1 million this year, “less than 50 cents per head,” he said of the Legion membership.

“We can do that because we, the American Legion, will be there for our veterans and their families in time of need,” he added.

Dellinger said he is not worried about membership rolls, but with assisting veterans who need help with jobs, medical assistance and education.

He was not active in the Legion until later in his career.

importance of the Legion and will have the time in their lives to become involved, he said.

Dellinger thanked all the veterans for what they do.

“Because you continue to serve, even though you are out of uniform, you still serve every day,” he said. “Every day should be Veterans Day.”

Regional Roundup • Police cars get makeover COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City’s police cars will get a new look next year, according to news reports.

The Post and Mail reports the city’s Board of Works unanimously approved to change from the current dark blue squad cars to white, as well as a new logo on the vehicles.

Switching from blue to white is not only going to give the cars a different look, but also save the city money, and the department will be able to receive new cars sooner.

Such day cares have to meet minimum standards, but some legislators and child advocates say those aren’t adequate to ensure children’s safety.

Efforts to strengthen church day care regulations have met with strong resistance from groups that want to prevent state intervention in church affairs. But child care advocates contend that any day care that takes government money should play by the same rules.

Iran’s supreme leader says ‘red lines’ on nukes GENEVA (AP) — A new round of Iran nuclear talks began in fits and starts Wednesday, with the two sides ending a first session just minutes after it began amid warnings from Iran’s supreme leader of “red lines” beyond which his country will not compromise.

A senior U.S. official said the brief general meeting was only a formality and that bilateral meetings would continue through the evening to work on a deal that would start a rollback of Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for limited sanctions relief.

Both sides have said a first-step agreement is possible over the next few days of meetings in Geneva.

But there was also tough talk, reflecting tensions from nearly a decade of negotiations that have started to make headway only recently.

There are other pressures, too. President Barack Obama faces opposition to a deal from Israel, Saudi Arabia and critics in the U.S. Congress, who say a first-step deal as envisioned would give Iran too much sanctions relief for too few concessions. They argue that Iran can’t be trusted. Obama and his national security team counter that the risk is worth taking because the alternative is war no one wants.

While voicing support for the talks, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, insisted there are limits to the concessions Tehran will make. He blasted Israel as being “the rabid dog” of the region — comments rejected by French President Francois

Hollande as “unacceptable.”

French spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem told reporters in Paris that such statements complicate the talks ahead, but France still hopes for a deal and its position has not changed at the talks.

Benjamin Netanyahu, in remarks after the meeting in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said “we believe it is possible to reach a better agreement, but it requires us to be consistent and persistent.”

At the previous round earlier this month, France said it wanted tough conditions in any preliminary deal with Iran. Negotiations then ended with both sides speaking of progress but continued differences on a final agreement.

Khamenei gave no further details in a speech to a paramilitary group aimed at both placating hardliners and showing his backing for Iranian officials preparing to meet with international negotiators. But his mention of Iran’s “nuclear rights” was widely interpreted as a reference to uranium enrichment.

Western diplomats hope to reach an accord that would halt Iran’s nuclear efforts while negotiators pursue a more comprehensive agreement that would ensure Tehran’s program is solely for civilian purposes.

Iran would get some sanctions relief under such a first-step deal, without any easing of the most harsh measures — those crippling its ability to sell oil, its main revenue maker.

Dear Virginia, I know that you are excited about the Christmas season. But who would have ever thought that stores would be filled with Christmas decorations even before Halloween! Even the television and newspapers have put out the bait to lure the innocent buyer into their net of buying more than they can afford.

Of course, people are enticed into thinking that with their “plastic” and “lay away” they can purchase anything that seems pleasant to the eyes, especially if it is a “good deal.” Well, enough of that reality.

Let me tell you just a little about Thanksgiving. In 1789, our first President, George Washington, declared that Thursday, Nov. 26, be a day of “thanksgiving and prayer.”

That’s right, Virginia, a day of PRAYER! Even though it was not declared a national holiday, it was a time for people to express thanks to God for His many blessings. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln made a proclamation that the last Thursday in November would be declared a national holiday.

It would be a day of “thanksgiving and praise.” Yes, a day of PRAISE! In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was pressured by stores and commercial enterprises to move Thanksgiving up so it would give shoppers more time to buy their merchandise. So FDR declared that Thanksgiving would be the next to last Thursday of November. Finally, in 1941, the Congress of the United States declared that the fourth Thursday of November would be the official day of Thanksgiving. I know I am boring you with this history lesson, but it is important to realize that there was a time when this great country paused to give thanks to God for His many blessings and to praise Him for His faithfulness.

I am sorry to say, Virginia, that the true meaning of Thanksgiving has faded away. This once proclaimed day of prayer and praise has become a fading memory of yesteryear. Stores that once were closed have crept their hours of operation into that special day. Family gatherings around the dinner table, to consume the bounty of abundance and express thankfulness for blessings, have faded into a gluttonous buffet followed by a reclining posture in front of a TV set to watch grown men run down the field in tights carrying a bag of zipped up air.

I remember when we used to go around the table and each one would express something for which they were thankful. There was a time of Bible reading, and then prayers of praise and gratitude were offered. If there was a piano, everyone would gather around and sing songs like, “Count Your Blessings,” “We Gather Together to Ask the Lord’s Blessing” and “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come.”

The fourth Thursday of November has now become a day of preparation for the biggest shopping day of the year. Advertisements are sorted through and a “game plan” of store invasions is planned out. The green flag is then dropped and the stores are overrun with aggressive people who give no thought to others.

Virginia, there was a wonderful day that was set aside to reflect upon God’s goodness. But, you know something? I don’t think it is too late to reinstate the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Why not start with your family? Ask your parents if they remember when there was a holiday for giving thanks. Ask them if your family could experience a real Thanks-Giving Day this year!

Voice Of The People • Army unit called to duty after Kennedy assassination To the editor: On Nov. 22, 1963, I was a lieutenant in the 3rd BN, 66th Armored, 2nd Armored Div. (Patton’s old division) that was garrisoned at Fort Hood, Texas. Our colonel had seen action in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. It was his attitude that our outfit should be ready to roll most of our motorized equipment within one hour. That was a rigorous requirement. However, when you got used to it, it was not bad. He also had a training program that was rigorous.

We had been trained in crowd control and riot events.

We had just returned from Germany, where we had been involved with Operation Big Lift. At the noon hour, I entered the “Day Room” and saw on the TV the shooting of JFK. Additionally, I saw that Gov. Connally had been shot. The outfit received orders to be alert.

Our outfit was at that point not to strength (budget issues), and there were those on leave. We could still muster about 700 troops. We did. Because both elected leaders were shot, authorities immediately did not know what they were dealing with.

They knew they could muster the National Guard quickly, and they knew the Guard was not properly trained for these situations.

So they called for the “regulars.” A fuel truck left, and a supply truck left immedi-

ately. We drew our weapons and stood by.

The spooky thing to me was that live ammo was loaded on the trucks. The thought of having to shoot Americans really had a profound effect on me. This did not happen, because we were told to stand down within the hour. This is the best that I can remember of that day.

Time to move forward with a new ENMS “Don’t leave us with an eyesore.”

Most East Noble School Corporation patrons agree constructing a new East Noble Middle School makes more sense than continuing to spend thousands of dollars to maintain a three-story middle school building with classroom blocks nearly 100 years old.

Problems with the building at the corner of Diamond and Riley streets in Kendallville have been well-documented.

Prediction: a great year for ice, ice fishermen It may seem a bit premature, but with temperatures dipping into the teens in northeast Indiana this weekend, some ice fishing predictions are in order.

For the past two winters, Indiana and most of the Midwest have suffered from historic droughts and unseasonOUTDOORS ably warm WITH DON winters. In fact, last year was Don Mulligan the first in my lifetime when I did not ice fish in the state of Indiana.

And it wasn’t because I didn’t try. Every time ponds and lakes started the ice-making process and made a couple inches of ice, it either got warm or rained.

By February, I finally gave up and put my gear back on the shelf.

I believe things will be different this year, and I am not alone. In a much more scientifically based prediction than mine, the Farmers Almanac has good news for Midwesterners who want their winter back.

From the Almanac’s sometimes correct weather prediction headquarters: ”For 2013–2014, we are forecasting a winter that will experience below average temperatures for about two-thirds of the nation. A large area of below-normal temperatures will predominate from roughly east of the Continental Divide to the Appalachians, north and east through New England.

Coldest temperatures will be over the Northern Plains on east into the Great Lakes.”

The bad news for folks who trust the Farmer’s Almanac or me is that we both also predict above average amounts of precipitation for this winter.

Unlike the past few winters when it was often 70 degrees in January and it rained, this year’s precipitation will drop in the form of snow.

For ice fishermen, a little snow is good but a lot of snow is bad.

Fish spook easily on clear, clean ice. A small amount of snow helps because it hides movement on the ice by anglers, pets and birds. It also darkens the water, making fish close in on baits without seeing them.

Too much snow, on the

Crowl traps rare raccoon

BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

HAMILTON — David Crowl of rural Hamilton had a rare find in one of his traps last weekend.

“I’ve been fur trapping for 40 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Crowl. He found the light-colored animal in a raccoon snare.

“I thought at first I had caught a small dog,” Crowl said.

The animal, which has rather unusual features for a raccoon, may not be a true albino, because Crowl said it did not have red eyes.

Indiana Department of Natural Resources district biologist Jason Wade and several other DNR employees reviewed the photo of the animal and all agreed it was a raccoon.

Wade said it may be in a “weird color phase.”

Crowl said it is definitely not the typical raccoon.

“It’s very nice fur,” he said.

He plans to have it

ice-making process, even when the air is bitter cold.

Ice always thickens the quickest when directly exposed to cold air temperatures.

While many of the lakes I annually fish in Minnesota are safe for ice fishermen by Thanksgiving, Hoosier lakes won’t be ready that soon.

Safe, fishable ice before Christmas in Indiana is a rare thing over the past decade, but I believe is possible this year.

Bear in mind not all water will have safe ice that soon, even if we

other hand, weakens ice and insulates it.

I have fished places with 3 feet of ice but also with 3 feet of snow on top of it.

That much ice can support a semi truck but will sink under the weight of that much snow, especially when it is wet.

When anglers cut a hole and water comes rushing out, it is typically because the ice is sinking under too much weight, usually from standing or melted snow Deep snow also makes it difficult to get around on the ice and hinders the

have lower than average temperatures.

Big lakes that are deep, have current or are wind swept take longer to freeze.

Some of these bodies of water may not see good ice until Late January, or never.

Watch shallow bays and ponds and especially those that have light-colored bottoms. Dark lakebeds absorb heat and slow the ice making process.

Also try and avoid lakes with lots of trees, poles or other objects sticking above the water line when ice is thin.

These objects absorb heat and transmit it to the water below. Ice around protruding, dark objects is often thinner and worse than surrounding ice all winter.

The good news is shallow bays, boat cuts and ponds not only have the first safe ice, they also hold the most fish in the early winter.

Pan fish crowd into shallow water to feed and take advantage of the warmest water in the lake.

Bigger fish follow to eat them.

A couple years ago I fished first ice on Devils Lake in North Dakota. We couldn’t find a fish until we tried a shallow, dark and mucky bay. We drilled through a foot of ice and only found two-feet of water, but put tipups out anyway.

We caught northern pike and walleyes with our bait hanging just under the ice all day. The biggest fish was 10 pounds.

Though it might seem early, get ready for a great year on the ice. There are no guarantees when it comes to fishing, but I think it is going to be one of the best years in a decade.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An increase in shopping last month during the partial government shutdown suggests that the U.S. economy may be more resilient than some have feared.

Retail sales increased 0.4 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, after being flat the previous month. That jump shows that many consumers remain willing to spend as the all-important holiday shopping season nears.

At the same time, other data released Wednesday point to an economy that’s still struggling to reach full health.

— Sales of existing homes fell 3.2 percent last month from September, the National Association of Realtors said. Higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes on the market contributed to the drop-off. So did delays by potential homebuyers during the government shutdown.

— Businesses’ inventories increased by 0.6 percent in September, the Commerce Department said. This caused several

economists to bump up their growth forecasts for the previous June-September quarter but to downgrade their expectations for the current quarter. JPMorgan Chase economist Daniel Silver called the possible upcoming decline in business stockpiles a “significant drag on growth.”

Analysts had speculated that retail sales would be unchanged in October, slowed by the 16-day partial government shutdown and by cheaper gasoline that would mean less money spent at the pump.

But what many consumers saved on gas they spent on other items.

Excluding sales at service stations, retail spending rose 0.5 percent last month. Sales of furniture, electronics, appliances and clothing all showed solid gains.

Congress likely blunted some of the impact of the shutdown by guaranteeing back pay for 800,000 furloughed federal workers.

“There could be the possibility that all those furloughed workers knew they were going to be paid, so they may have taken

the opportunity to take a mini-vacation and go shopping,” said Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

Because consumers fuel about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, expectations have arisen that the better-than-expected retail sales last month could build momentum for November and December.

Before October’s retail sales report, most analysts predicted that the overall economy would grow at a weak annual rate below 2 percent in the current quarter. But after the report was issued Wednesday, Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, boosted his forecast: He thinks additional consumer spending will cause the overall economy to grow at an annual rate between 2 percent and 2.5 percent this quarter.

Coupled with the retail sales was a slight decline last month in consumer prices.

The consumer price index fell 0.1 percent in October, the Labor Department said.

Hatch still healing, grieving

WATER: Bacteria level low, but still unacceptable

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Late in basketball practice at Loyola High School this week, Austin Hatch slipped around a 7-foot teammate and hit an up-and-under shot with all the grace and savvy you would expect from a Michigan-bound swingman.

“The celebration caused us to miss about five minutes of practice,” coach Jamal Adams said, still beaming at the memory.

Basketball is gradually coming back to Hatch, a 19-year-old straight-A student who spent the past two years re-learning how to breathe, eat, walk and live after surviving a plane

was sent home to parents explaining the situation the first day the water issue was detected, Linson said. Rome City Principal Heather Green has kept parents updated.

Water is being boiled and purified in the school kitchen, and kitchen staff are using throwaway towels.

Students are encouraged to wash their hands thoroughly in the restrooms.

School officials alerted the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and are working with Kendallville Water Department superintendent Scott Mosley on the problem.

The school’s water system has been flushed

crash for the second time in his life.

“The emotional pain is never going to subside,” Hatch said Wednesday.

“Over time, the way I cope with my loss is going to change.”

In June 2011, just 10 days after verbally committing to play for the Wolverines, his father and stepmother were killed in a crash in Charlevoix, Mich., that left him in a coma for roughly eight weeks with a traumatic brain injury.

“We’re doing everything IDEM tells us to isolate and rectify the problem as soon as possible,” Leitch said.

The school’s iron filters and water heater are being changed.

“We’re looking at reducing the size of the school’s water holding tank, so it doesn’t hold water for too long a time,” he said.

Tests have shown no evidence of unacceptable levels of the bacteria in the school’s well, and testing will continue in an effort to isolate the source. One

possible source is standing water in dead-end pipes.

“When the school was remodeled recently, pipes were added and pipes were closed off. We’re looking at the blueprints,” Leitch said.

The water will be tested today and again Friday. A total of 48 hours of negative results is needed to show the water is again safe for consumption.

The school’s water usually is tested once a month, and it will be tested more frequently in the future.

OBAMA: Clinton met JFK summer before killing FROM PAGE A1

half-staff before greeting Kennedy relatives, including some who arrived in Obama’s motorcade.

The day of tributes began at the White House, where Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 16 living and deceased Americans for their contributions in fields ranging from sports and entertainment to science and public service.

“These are the men and women who in their extraordinary lives remind us all of the beauty of the human spirit, the values that define us as Americans, the potential that lives inside of all of us,” Obama said.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, daughter Chelsea Clinton and film director Steven Spielberg were among scores of people seated in the White House East Room for the ceremony, which Obama said is “one of my favorite events every year.”

Kennedy established the modern version of the medal but was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, weeks before he was to honor the inaugural group of recipients. Hundreds of notable

figures since have received the honor.

At the awards ceremony Wednesday morning, Obama said a few words about each recipient. Of Clinton, he said the Arkansas Democrat’s presidency marked just the start of his work to make the world a better place, crediting his post-presidency humanitarian efforts as helping to save or improve the lives of millions worldwide.

“I’m grateful, Bill, as well, for the advice and counsel that you’ve offered me, on and off the golf course,” Obama said to chuckles.

As a teenager, Bill Clinton shook hands with Kennedy in the Rose Garden the summer before the assassination when he and other high school students in the Boys Nation program came to Washington.

Obama said the late Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, didn’t just break the stratospheric glass ceiling. “She blasted right through it,” becoming a role model for young girls, he said.

“You can’t be what you can’t see,” Obama said.

“Today our daughters, including Malia and Sasha,

can set their sights a little bit higher because Sally Ride showed them the way.”

Receiving the award for Ride, who died last year, was Tam O’Shaughnessy, who was introduced as Ride’s life partner.

The president made a point of highlighting those who had overcome additional obstacles and stigmatization because they are gay, black, female or Asian. He noted that early in her career, Oprah Winfrey’s bosses suggested she change her name to something more relatable.

“It turned out, surprisingly, that people could relate to Oprah just fine,” Obama said.

On Friday’s assassination anniversary, Obama plans to meet privately at the White House with leaders and volunteers from the Peace Corps program, also established by Kennedy.

The Clintons’ presence at Kennedy’s gravesite was sure to spark speculation about whether Obama has a favorite in the 2016 race to succeed him.

Every move by the former secretary of state is being scrutinized for signs of whether she’ll run.

Pacers pull out OT victory NEW YORK (AP) — Paul George made three throws to tie it with 5.2 seconds left in regulation, then scored nine of his seasonhigh 35 points in overtime as the Indiana Pacers pulled out a 103-96 victory Wednesday night over the New York Knicks, who dropped their sixth straight at home.

New York scored the first 13 points, but this settled into a playoff-type game between teams who met in the postseason last May. And it again went to the Pacers, who bounced back from their first loss after a franchise-record 9-0 start.

George Hill added 23 points and eight rebounds for the Pacers, who beat the Knicks in six games in last season’s Eastern Conference semifinals. Just as in the clincher of that series, Roy Hibbert had a pivotal block on Carmelo Anthony’s drive to the basket.

Anthony had 30 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks, who looked completely deflated after they couldn’t score following the free throws George made when Iman Shumpert was called for fouling him.

George then put away the Knicks in overtime, keeping them winless at home since beating Milwaukee on Oct. 30 in their season opener.

J.R. Smith had 21 points, and Beno Udrih scored a season-high 19 for the Knicks, including a go-ahead shot with 1:21 left in

throws for an 89-86 lead with 9.2 seconds left.

Shumpert was then called for the foul on George, with replays showing what appeared to be perhaps just a slight touch to

George’s arm. The All-Star sank the free throws, and Anthony missed on the other end, and Smith was off on a tip attempt.

The stunned Knicks walked back to the bench as if they had just lost — and pretty soon, they had.

George followed Hibbert’s block with a 3-pointer, and followed Anthony’s basket with four straight points to put the Pacers in control.

The Knicks were again without injured starters Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton. Amare Stoudemire also didn’t play on the second night of the back-to-back, coach Mike Woodson saying the forward isn’t cleared for the 20-25 minutes per night he wants to play.

They now go on a four-game road trip, perhaps what they need with their inability to win on their home floor.

George was two shy of his career high, bouncing back well from a season-low 12 points on 3-for-14 shooting in a 110-94 loss at Chicago that ended Indiana’s perfect start.

The Knicks jumped to a 13-0 lead while Indiana missed its first seven shots. The Pacers were only 5 for 20 in the first quarter, but one of the makes was Hibbert’s ugly, banked 3-pointer that beat the buzzer and cut it to 19-14.

New York was ahead 42-37 at the half and never trailed by more than four until overtime.

Indianapolis Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis, center, celebrates with teammates Cory Redding, left, and Ricky Jean Francois after

sacking St. Louis Rams quarterback Kellen Clemens during last Sunday’s game. The Colts need to show more improvement on defense.

Colts look to defense Indy defense trying to plug holes, stop big plays INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Colts defense is moving into prevent mode.

Players and coaches have spent extra time fine-tuning their techniques and fundamentals.

They’ve talked repeatedly about the need to fill gaps and not do too much, and they’re hoping all the extra work finally eliminates some of those maddening big plays. Over the last 3½ games, Indy’s opponents have scored six touchdowns of 30 or more yards and that doesn’t even include a 98-yard punt return for a score.

“Those are explosive plays and you never want to give those up,” said linebacker Robert Mathis, the NFL’s sacks leader. “It’s very fixable and we’re working on it.”

The Colts (7-3) don’t have any time to waste, either.

On Sunday, they visit surprising Arizona (6-4) where they’ll take on Larry Fitzgerald and Bruce Arians’ wide-open offense. They still have rematches with Tennessee and Houston, teams that accounted for three of those long scoring plays, and they still have to travel to AFC North-leading Cincinnati and AFC West co-leader Kansas City.

Indy leads the AFC South by three games and could clinch the division and earn a home playoff date when the Titans come to town Dec. 1. The Colts insist their problems will be fixed before the playoffs start.

“It’s just execution, period.

It’s just execution,” defensive end Cory Redding said. “When it comes to us, we’ve got to be in our gaps and do our job and make the play when you get to make the play.”

One thing that could help is the return of some injured players.

Each of the four long TD passes came with starting cornerback Greg Toler and backup cornerback Josh Gordy out of action. Both were injured in the second half of the Denver game and have missed the last three weeks because of groin injuries.

Backup safety Delano Howell, who had 18 tackles in two starts this season, also missed the last three games with a neck injury.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Bruce Arians does not try to pretend this is just another game. Not after what he and the Indianapolis Colts went through last season.

As anyone who pays attention to the NFL knows, Arians took over as interim coach of the Colts when Chuck Pagano was stricken with leukemia. He famously left the light in Pagano’s office on, never to be turned off until the coach returned.

Meanwhile, Arians guided Indianapolis to a 9-3 record, earning coach of the year honors in the process. Pagano returned and the Colts went on to the playoffs.

It’s a season that propelled Arians to the head coaching job in Arizona and on Sunday his Cardinals will face Pagano and the Colts.

“I was hoping it would never be on the schedule,” Arians said, “because there are too many emotional ties to what happened last year to have to play them. I’m just glad we are playing here and not there. That would really be tough to walk into that stadium.”

Had Pagano not become ill, Arians might very well never have gotten a chance to be an NFL head coach. Arians said he has reflected on that fact “many, many days.”

Tigers, Texas to swap Fielder, Kinsler DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers and Texas agreed to a blockbuster trade Wednesday night that would send slugger Prince Fielder to the Rangers for second baseman Ian Kinsler, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.

Fielder signed a $214 million, nine-year contract with the Tigers before the 2012 season

that includes a limited no-trade provision, and the big first baseman was set to approve the deal.

Kinsler just finished the first season of a $75 million, five-year contract.

It’s the first headline-grabbing move of baseball’s offseason, and it involves two of the American League’s top teams. Detroit has won three consecutive AL Central titles and reached the World Series in 2012, while Texas won the AL

pennant in 2010 and 2011.

But neither team was about to stand pat. With stars like Fielder, Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Anibal Sanchez in the fold, Detroit’s payroll had become one of the game’s biggest, and although Fielder hit 55 home runs over the last two years for the Tigers, his numbers dipped this season and he struggled in the playoffs.

East Noble hopes for turnaround 2013-14 Schedule

BY JUSTIN PENLAND japenland@hotmail.com

KENDALLVILLE — With 13 sectional titles and two regional championships, East Noble’s boys basketball program has a proud history of success. However, as of late, things have not exactly been peachy.

That can soon change with the hiring of Chad Cripe, a coach who has had experience in flipping programs. In fact, the chance to help build the program back up was one of the major factors in Cripe’s decision to come to East Noble from Class 3A New Prairie.

“I know the deep tradition of East Noble basketball. When I heard about (the EN coaching position), it was instantly intriguing. I believe basketball has very deep and strong roots in this community,” Cripe said.

Cripe was at the New Carlisle school for six seasons where he accrued a 56-74 record as head coach of the Cougars. When he stepped in at New Prairie, the team just came off of a 2-19 season, its third consecutive single-digit win season.

The record turned around quickly when Cripe took over. In his first year, the Cougars doubled their win total (four) and then again in his second season (eight).

Win totals increased until last year when the team went 12-9, one win shy of the previous year’s total.

Cripe also coached at Southmont High School,

where he went 11-10 as the girls coach.

East Noble is in the same situation. Last season, the Knights had their worst record in program history at 2-21. Since long-time coach Marty Johnson retired following the 2005-06 season, East Noble has had one winning season (2006-07, 16-3) and four years of single-digit wins.

“When I took over at New Prairie, it required a complete rebuilding process.

There are a lot of similarities where we are here and

where New Prairie was,” Cripe said.

At New Prairie, “I just learned a lot on how to build a program. We were conference champs (in the Northern State Conference) last year in my final season.

We learned a lot and made mistakes along the way.”

The transition between coaches should be a smooth one as East Noble returns a large senior class. Five Knights will play their final seasons and three of those were starters last year for coach Josh Treesh.

Aaron Beard, Chase Klinker, Brandon Nichols, Landan Tackett, Caleb Brown and Owen Puckett. In back row, Manny Ritchie, Chris Weber, Michael Sharp, Houston Pattee, Connor Holcomb and Kolin Williams.

One strong returnee for EN is 6-foot 7-inch senior Houston Pattee. Pattee was honored on the All-NHC second team during the 2012-13 campaign and he had eight points and five rebounds in the season-ending loss to Columbia City.

Also starting that game were returners Nathan Wible and Landan Tackett.

Both recorded a rebound and an assist against the Eagles as juniors. Michael Sharp, a player who came off of the bench, and Connor Holcomb round out

the senior class.

Complete season stats were unavailable from last season.

The Knights will play mostly man-to-man on defense and move around in a motion-run offense.

“It’s not about the individuals right now, but having the kids buy in.

Right now it’s more about the name on the front of the jersey than the back,” Cripe said. “We want guys that are going to buy in to our philosophy, dive on the floor and play hard to make

the community proud.”

East Noble will open its season with three straight road contests at West Noble (Tuesday), Lakeland (Nov. 30) and Snider (Dec. 14).

Columbia City comes to Kendallville for the Knights’ home opener on Dec. 20, the team’s last contest before holiday vacation.

Cripe asks the community for patience as he instills roots deep into the feeder program. Wins will start to come down the road. Cripe’s goals for this season are basic: For the Knights to put five players on the floor who will play hard and together.

“We want the players to buy into playing hard and playing basketball the right way. We want to put a program out there on the floor that, win, lose or draw, will make the community proud,” Cripe said.

“We are really excited to get the community out to the games and cheer on the boys. We are just excited to show how hard we work.

This is always your first step when you are trying to instill any system, but moreso when you are trying to build a program.”

Howe will open Golson seeks readmission to school season on Dec. 3

BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

HOWE — If last season was a rebuilding year for The Howe School’s boys basketball team, this year’s squad could be built for some success.

First-year coach Evan Long takes over a Wildcats program that went 1-19 last year. Long said he predicts a marked improvement from that campaign with a group of players that ooze athleticism.

“We have a good group of boys to work with,” said Long. “They’re in tune to what we’re trying to do — building a team concept. We have a lot of athleticism this year; not a lot of height, but we’ve got some guys that can get up and down the court.”

Long said the athleticism can be witnessed in two players on the roster capable of dunking the basketball.

That athleticism will be called on to run Long’s get-up-and-go motion offense. With not a lot of size to speak of, Long said he’ll put three or four on the perimeter regularly and allow his ball handlers to move to the rim.

AP

Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees (11) talks with head coach Brian Kelly during play this season.

On Monday, he ran more than the usual number of 11-on-11 drills, with the starting offense going against the starting defense.

“I thought the legs were fresh. I felt we got, if there was any rust, we got the rust off the guys. We got them out there moving,” he said.

Kelly said he took the unusual step of practicing

hard on Monday to make sure everybody was ready, saying he didn’t want the week off to disrupt this week’s practices.

“I really needed to know whether these guys could play,” he said.

Kelly said nobody on the two-deep chart is definitely out for Saturday when Notre Dame (7-3) faces BYU

(7-3). The biggest improvement is along the defensive line, where the Irish likely would have been without four backups had there been a game last Saturday.

Kelly said Ishaq Williams is day-to-day with a knee injury, that he was pleased with the progress of Kona Schwenke (high ankle sprain), and that Jarron Jones and Issac Rochell (ankle sprains) also practiced.

Kelly said the coaches spent most of their time during the off week recruiting and focusing on BYU, saying they didn’t spend a lot of time on trying to make any major changes in what the Irish are doing.

One of the biggest challenges for the Irish is to make sure they have enough healthy players to go against BYU. The Cougars run an up-tempo offense, averaging nearly 87 plays a game.

That compares to fewer than 65 plays a game for the Irish.

Kelly said it’s important for the Irish offense to get some first downs to help slow down BYU. “We’ll need to have some controlled drives and have an eye toward keeping their offense off the field,” Kelly said.

Indy came into the season touting its new desire to rely more on the ground game this season, a strategy shift that has produced mixed results.

But the Colts’ first-half struggles have increasingly forced them away from that strategy. In a come-from-behind win at Houston and an embarrassing loss at home to St. Louis, Indy ran just 28 times for 87 yards. Last Thursday, at Tennessee, they again trailed early.

This time, they stuck with the run, grinding out 137 yards and got the winning score on an 11-yard TD run from Donald Brown.

While many have critiqued the slow-starting offense for its inability to stay on the field in the first two quarters of the last

three games, the defense that has created some of its own problems by failing to get off the field.

The result: Indy has been outscored 66-9 in the first half since the start of November.

“There’s some things we can pinpoint in the last three ballgames in the first half that you can put your finger on and say if we get these things corrected…,” Pagano said. “I told the guys, if you total up just third down, if you look at third down offense and third down defense and you look at us last three ball games, we’ve converted 13 percent of the time and our opponents have converted 62 percent.

So that’s something right there that we can focus on both sides on the ball and try to fix.”

he said. “I’m just thankful he’s healthy and beat it and continues to beat it. That was really the whole focus last year. It did present an opportunity, and I’m very thankful for it. But, I hate that it had to happen that way.”

For two decades Arians toiled as an offensive assistant, working his way up with stints in Kansas City, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis again.

“How you get opportunities is one thing,” Pagano said, “but he’s certainly taking advantage of it. I think everybody in the coaching profession knows that was long overdue.”

After helping the Steelers win two Super Bowls, Arians left Pittsburgh in what was officially called a

Then his old friend Pagano called and asked him to come to work as offensive coordinator. Arians, who already had worked with a young Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger, loved the idea of joining rookie Andrew Luck.

Arians could not have known that his professional and personal world would be jolted with the news that Pagano was leaving the team for treatment of leukemia.

Now, just past his 61st birthday, Arians has the Cardinals 6-4 and just a game out in the NFC wild card playoff chase. Age seems no barrier, either, in doing his job or communicating with young players.

“He’s got an incredibly young soul,” Luck said. “I think people of all ages get along with him. He just has

seemed disinclined to revisit the oft-told story of last season.

“Obviously, there’s history there,” he said, “(but) it’s the Colts vs. the Cards and he’ll go through his process just like we’ll go through our process in preparation for Sunday’s game.”

Both teams are having successful seasons. Indianapolis (7-3) has a three-game lead in the AFC South.

Arizona has won three in a row to move within a game of a wild card spot in the NFC. Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer knows this one means a bit more than the records show to the Cardinals coach.

“I think this entire locker room has a tremendous respect for him and wants to please him,” Palmer

Not hard feelings. That’s for sure. Arians cherishes his memories of Indianapolis and mentions them often.

He and Pagano still talk two or three times a week.

Not this week, though.

They will get a chance to talk on the field, though.

“It will be more emotional pre-game,” Arians said, “seeing the guys for the first time, especially all the younger players who we coached last year, and all the guys. …. It was a very tight group. You don’t accomplish what they accomplished last year without holding each other accountable and having a common cause. It was very special.”

On Sunday, there will be “a lot of hugging and high-fiving,” he said, “and then just like playing your brother in your backyard, I’m kicking your (butt).”

Injury gives Tony Stewart new perspective KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart has come to loathe stairs.

Out of a wheelchair, off his crutches and only in the last week or so walking without the use of a cane, Stewart still hasn’t totally settled back into his usual routine since breaking his right leg in an Aug. 5 sprint car crash. He’s living on his own again, but his most recent digs were on the second floor, and leaving the house each day required a thorough mental checklist.

“I have a huge appreciation for just daily things that I can’t do now,” he said. “It’s like I have to plan, I have to think about stuff. When I go to leave, I don’t want to have to go back up those steps. Before I get to the end of the hallway, I make sure I have everything I need before I get down that flight of steps.”

Being out of a race car for more than four months now has

given the three-time NASCAR champion a new outlook on just about everything.

On pace to run more than 100 races this year before the injury, Stewart instead spent almost a week in a hospital following the accident in Iowa. He spent another week in bed with his leg immobilized, and was essentially confined to the home of his business manager for about a month.

Stewart needed an ambulance to transport him to doctor appointments, daily tasks such as bathing were a chore, and the busiest man in racing suddenly had nothing but free time on his hands.

“I think it’s very easy to get caught up in everything that’s going on, just daily stuff being a distraction,” he said. “When you have all that taken away from you, your daily activity becomes a lot more subtle and you appreciate it all a lot more. Not only Cup racing, but everything that I do

each day, I think about it different than I did before.”

A third surgery in October to address an infection was a setback Stewart wasn’t expecting, and also a wake-up call. He’d been pushing himself from the moment he’d been cleared to leave the house in early September, and tried to enjoy his time at the race track as a spectator and driver coach to Stewart-Haas Racing’s Danica Patrick.

But when he landed back in the hospital, he was reminded of advice he received from Brian Vickers, who missed 25 races in 2010 because of blood clots.

“Brian Vickers gave me the best piece of advice that I couldn’t use. He says to enjoy your time off. You’re not going to get to do what you want to do in racing so just enjoy your time off,” Stewart said. “The problem was I wasn’t able to get out of bed for the first two weeks. I kept that in mind the

whole time.”

So Stewart skipped the NASCAR weekend in Phoenix earlier this month and attended the World of Outlaws World Finals at Charlotte for the first time as a team owner.

“In all the years I’ve had my dirt track teams, I’ve never been to the last race of the year with any of them. Never been able to walk through and thank the guys for their hard work,” he said. “I got to do that. I won’t get to do that again. I got to take Brian’s advice and actually apply it to something.”

Still planning to be back in the car for the season-opening Daytona 500 in February, Stewart is skipping any normal semblance of a driver offseason to focus on the expansion at Stewart-Haas Racing.

While most of his peers will be vacationing and enjoying time off, he’s committed to grueling

Jimmie Johnson ends 2013 Chase with sixth Sprint Cup title

Jimmie Johnson, right, hoists the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Trophy as crew chief Chad Knaus, left, looks on. one of the sport’s all-time record of seven, which is shared by Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

Petty said that making comparisons between his and Earnhardt’s and Johnson’s records is meaningless because they were set in different eras, under different circumstances.

“Earnhardt did his thing in his time against his competition,” Petty said. “I did mine against my competition and [Johnson’s] doing his thing against his competition.

“We didn’t compete with each other. In other words, he wasn’t there to race against Richard Petty or Earnhardt, and we didn’t have to race against Jimmie Johnson, either.

You can’t compare. It’s not apples and apples.

It’s apples and oranges.”

Jimmie Johnson takes a victory lap in his No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet after capturing his sixth Sprint Cup Series championship Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Petty did say that he and Johnson do share one major factor in that they both have done the bulk of their winning with the same crew chief — Johnson with Chad Knaus and Petty with his cousin Dale Inman.

“It’s everything,” Petty said of the chemistry between driver and crew chief. “It’s just like me and Dale Inman. It was like a one-operation show with two people, so you’ve got to have that. It doesn’t make any difference if it’s football or baseball or whatever.”

Petty also said that Johnson and Knaus likely would keep on winning for some time to come.

“He’s liable to go to eight to 10 [championships],” he said.

In his champion’s interview, Johnson seemed comfortable with his greatness, as described by those around him.

“I’m humbled by the nice things that have been said by competitors and owners, my peers in this industry,” he said. “I think their opinion is very important. I don’t think my opinion matters. It’s not for the athlete, the driver. It’s bestowed upon you, it’s passed down from others.”

Austin Dillon holds on to capture his first Nationwide Series title

Austin Dillon and his No. 3 Chevrolet struggled to a 12th-place finish in the season finale for the Nationwide Series, but it was enough to give him the driver’s championship by three points over Sam Hornish Jr., who finished eighth. It was Dillon’s second NASCAR title, the first coming in the Camping World Truck Series in 2011.

Brad Keselowski won the Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, and his car owner Roger Penske and his No. 22 Ford team took the owner’s title by one point over the No. 54 Toyota team owned by J.D. Gibbs.

The finish of the race and the outcome of the championship were clouded in controversy when a 12-lap caution period near the end of the race prevented Hornish, who had outrun Dillon for much of the race, from being able to close the points gap on Dillon.

Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president of competition, met with the media to explain why NASCAR didn’t display the red flag and stop the race while the track was cleaned.

“It really looked like it was going to be a typical cleanup, a typical wreck,” he said.

“You can use your hindsight every chance that you want to, but in this particular time, we did the best we could to do and it was more important to get the track ready.”

Pemberton also said there was no pressure from ESPN, which was broadcasting the race, to end it as soon as possible so that it wouldn’t interfere with the broadcast of the Alabama-Mississippi State football game.

“There was nothing like that,” he said.

Dillon, who plans to move on to the Sprint Cup Series next season, said it wouldn’t

Matt Crafton caps stellar 2013 season with Truck Series championship

Brian Lawdermilk for Chevrolet Brian Lawdermilk for Chevrolet

Even before he secured his sixth Sprint Cup championship with a ninth-place finish in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Jimmie Johnson was considered one of the greatest NASCAR drivers ever.

The questions for many now become how long he and Chad Knaus, his crew chief since the start of his Cup career, can keep on dominating the series and where they will end up on the all-time winners lists in NASCAR. Denny Hamlin, who won the season finale to extend his own record to eight consecutive seasons with at least one win, is among those who have challenged Johnson for a title but come up short. In 2010, Hamlin led the series in victories with eight and took a 15-point lead over Johnson in the season finale only to lose the championship to him.

Hamlin said Sunday that Johnson’s team stands apart from the rest because it usually doesn’t make errors when the pressure is on.

“They just don’t make any mistakes,” he said. “They don’t have 20th or worse finishes that it seems like every one team has throughout the Chase, whether it be a superspeedway or whatever. You have to beat him on performance. To do that, that’s really hard.”

He said that Johnson, who has 66 career Cup wins, is the best NASCAR driver of all time.

“Unfortunately, we’re racing during the Jimmie Johnson era,” Hamlin said. “We’re just unlucky in that sense. I think being out there and racing with him, I can say that I think he’s the best that there ever was. He’s racing against competition that is tougher than this sport’s ever seen.”

Hamlin’s teammate Matt Kenseth, who finished second to Hamlin at Homestead and second to Johnson in the championship standings, agreed that Johnson’s success is unparalleled.

“Jimmie and that team are obviously unbelievable,” Kenseth said. “Never seen anything like this in the sport and probably will never see anything like it again. It’s amazing with as tight as the rules are, multi-car teams, information sharing, and all that stuff. It’s amazing they can figure out how to do that year after year.”

Johnson’s championship puts him within

Austin Dillon raises the NASCAR Nationwide Series Championship Trophy Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway after clinching his second career NASCAR series title. have mattered if the race had been stopped.

“God is great,” he said. “It would have worked out great either way.”

Hornish was obviously disappointed at the turn of events. “What can I say?” he said.

“Any other time there probably would have

been a caution. It’s just one of those things that wasn’t meant to be.”

Dillon, who drives for his grandfather Richard Childress, said he’s looking forward to the next step of his career.

“That [Sprint Cup] level is a little bit bigger of a jump for sure,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge. I think definitely Rookie of the Year is definitely what we want to get next year. That’s our main focus, and to gain as much experience as I can.”

Keselowski, who went from 10th place to first in the final laps at Homestead, secured Ford the manufacturer’s title for the series and gave the carmaker 15 Nationwide wins for the year.

Keselowski, the defending Cup champion, also played a key role in Penske winning the owner’s title. While he drove the team’s No. 48 Ford at Homestead, he had seven wins in Penske’s No. 22 throughout the season. His Cup teammate Joey Logano had three, A.J. Allmendinger had two and Ryan Blaney one in the No. 22.

Trevor Bayne and Hornish also had a win apiece this season for Ford.

Kyle Larson, who finished second at Homestead to give him four runner-up finishes for the season, was named the circuit’s Rookie of the Year. The Asian-American youngster is the first Drive for Diversity participant to take that honor.

“A lot of the veterans in the past and in the current Cup Series have won the Rookie of the Year,” said Larson, who will race in Cup next year for Chip Ganassi’s Chevrolet team. “To add my name to that list hopefully means I’m doing something good.”

rehabilitation three days a week.

But he also feels a responsibility to be available to Greg Zipadelli, who spent a decade with him as crew chief at Joe Gibbs Racing and is now charged with running all four teams at SHR. Zipadelli is overseeing the expansion to four cars, assembling a crew for Kurt Busch’s new team and orchestrating a reorganization that will give Stewart his third crew chief in three years.

Stewart, who jettisoned Darian Grubb immediately after winning the 2011 Sprint Cup title with him, has signed Chad Johnston to replace Steve Addington after two seasons. Stewart acknowledged not being able to be in the car before Daytona to work with Johnston “is not ideal” but said speaking to his new crew chief daily will help build a rapport.

Still, after working with Zipadelli for 10 years, he’ll be on his third crew chief in six seasons.

Matt Crafton has been one of the most consistent drivers in the Camping World Truck Series with 316 consecutive starts. But his most recent start, on Friday at HomesteadMiami Speedway, produced the biggest moment of his career. Just by starting the season-ending Ford 200 he clinched the driver’s title for the first time in his career. It also was the first time his team, owned by Duke and Rhonda Thorson, had been part of a championship, but a crash on the first of three green-white-checkered runs to the finish cost the Thorsons an owner’s title.

Kyle Busch wound up winning the race and tying the Thorsons atop the owner’s standings, so the title went to Busch because he had more race wins this season.

Still, it was a major milestone for Crafton and the Thorsons.

“It’s an honor to be able to do it for Duke and Rhonda Thorson that have been doing this for 18 years, and to give them the first championship and me driving for them for 13 years,” said Crafton, who also had high praise for the crew of his No. 88 Toyota.

“These guys are the ones that work so hard,” he said. “I’m just the one that gets to celebrate and look like the hero because I got to drive a great truck all year.”

Crafton had an amazingly consistent year. He won at Kansas Speedway and had 19 top-10 finishes in 22 starts. He also had an 11th-place run, at Las Vegas. His Homestead finish was his worst of the season, but he still finished on the lead lap despite his late-race crash, which meant that he completed all 3,391 laps this season.

“It’s been an awesome year,” Crafton said. “It’s been the greatest year of my life so far. To have a baby and win a NASCAR championship, nobody can ever take that away from me.”

Busch’s owner’s championship came on the strength of six wins for the No. 51 Toyota team, five by Busch and one by rookie Eric Jones. Others driving that truck this season included Scott Bloomquist, Chad Hackenbracht and Denny Hamlin.

Ryan Blaney, who finished second at Homestead, won the circuit’s Rookie of the Year honors.

TRADE: Rangers looking to add big bat to team FROM PAGE B1

The trade could give Detroit more financial flexibility, with Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer a year from free agency.

Fielder, however, is still only 29, and the Rangers would be adding a big bat to the middle of their lineup while also resolving a logjam in the middle of their infield. Jurickson Profar, a highly touted 20-year-old prospect, appeared to be blocked by Kinsler and shortstop Elvis Andrus. Now Profar should have a chance to play regularly.

The Tigers signed Fielder to a huge contract shortly before spring training in 2012 — after designated hitter Victor Martinez injured his knee. Martinez came back in 2013. With Fielder gone, Cabrera may move from third base back to first.

Kinsler fills a need at second base for Detroit after Omar Infante became a free agent.

DUSTIN BY STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER

Wife feels violated by husband’s touch DEAR ABBY: I love my husband very much. Until the last few years there have never been any problems in our 20-year marriage. I have depression and epilepsy, and I am on five different medications for them.

Sometimes when I have come out of a seizure, I have found that my clothes have been removed and my husband is “touching” me.

Also, because the medication puts me into a deep sleep at night, I have half-awakened to him having sex with me. I am so groggy I can’t respond.

Is this right? I feel like I have been violated, but I haven’t said anything to him. This causes me to cringe most of the time when he touches me now.

I’d like to get back to a normal love life, but I can’t get over what he does to me when I’m not fully aware. How do I tell him

THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM

Treat toddler’s constipation with diet changes children do not have constipation, it is a common problem. That’s particularly true for children between the ages of 2 to 5. This is the period when toilet training and developmental changes are happening.

Many toddlers eat little fiber and lots of foods that ASK contribute to DOCTOR K. constipation, such as dairy products, Dr. Anthony rice and bananas.

Komaroff Children also often don’t drink enough fluids. All these factors can cause constipation.

Toddlers also often wait too long to go to the bathroom. They may be

•

resisting toilet training or just be too busy playing.

When a child withholds stool, it becomes hard and dry, and this may cause pain with the next bowel movement. So the child begins a cycle of withholding stool.

Before turning to medication, try modifying your child’s diet and toilet habits: • Give your son more fiber-rich foods, such as beans, broccoli, carrots, bran, whole grains and fresh fruits.

• Minimize the dairy foods you feed him, such as yogurt, cheese and milk.

• Have your son drink prune juice. It works for kids as well as for adults.

• Encourage your toddler to drink four to six glasses of water each day.

• Make sure he gets regular exercise.

• If your son is toilettrained, help him establish

Almanac •

DEAR DOCTOR K: My toddler has frequent constipation, and I have been giving him milk of magnesia about once a week. Is there any risk with this over-the-counter medicine?

DEAR READER: I’d suggest speaking to your pediatrician or family physician before continuing to give your son milk of magnesia.

Normally, children pass stool at regular intervals without much effort or pain. Infants and toddlers typically have several bowel movements a day. Most children age 2 or older have one every day. My pediatrician colleagues here at Harvard tell me they consider a child to be constipated when bowel movements happen less often than expected, or when the stools are hard and difficult or painful to pass.

Still, even though most

B5

regular bowel movements by sitting him on the toilet for 10 minutes at the same time each day, preferably after meals.

• If you think your son is acting out because he resents potty training, try stopping it for a few weeks.

These changes usually help. But if they don’t, ask your pediatrician or family physician if you should try stool softeners and laxatives (like milk of magnesia).

These types of medications are available without a prescription and have minimal side effects.

You can also try a nonprescription glycerin suppository. You insert this small lubricating pill into your son’s rectum, making it easier for him to push out a stool.

DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
