Police seize guns outside school Eastside locks down during man’s apparent prank BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — A Butler man who reportedly intended to scare his daughter as he arrived to pick her up at school is in custody after Eastside Junior-Senior High School was placed on lockdown Tuesday afternoon. Chad J. Czaja, 34, of the 200 block of Park Lane, was arrested along East Green Street, directly
in front of the high school. At 3:19 p.m., police received a report of a man dressed in camouflage clothing and possessing a rifle in a red Dodge Durango near the high school. Butler Police responded immediately and found Czaja inside the vehicle on Green Street. Police gave Czaja several verbal commands to exit the vehicle, but Czaja did not obey those
commands, according to a news release. Czaja finally exited the vehicle, but again did not comply with police commands until officers were able to apprehend him at gunpoint, Butler Police Chief Jim Nichols said. Police recovered one rifle and one loaded handgun from the vehicle. “We do not believe at this time that there was any criminal intent

MetalX adding Auburn location
Congress debates ban on plastic guns WASHINGTON (AP) — With 3-D printers increasingly able to produced plastic weapons, the House voted Tuesday to renew a 25-yearold prohibition against firearms that can evade metal detectors and X-ray machines. On a voice vote, the House passed a bill to renew the Undetectable Firearms Act for another decade. The Senate could vote on the bill next Monday when it returns from a two-week Thanksgiving recess. The law is due to expire the following day. Some Senate Democrats have mounted an attempt to amend the law to require plastic guns to have at least one metal piece for making it fire. But with the National Rifle Association opposed to the measure, the House bill is likely to pass the Senate unchanged, particularly going into an election year when many lawmakers would prefer to avoid a new fight over gun legislation.
with the weapons. Just a series of very, very bad choices,” Nichols said after the incident. Czaja has been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, criminal recklessness and leaving the scene of an accident. Additional charges are possible, Nichols said. Nichols confirmed Czaja was wearing camouflage clothing, including a face mask, when police apprehended him. “A witness saw Czaja go over

Report shows region makes gains BY BARRY ROCHFORD brochford@kpcmedia.com
Efforts to bolster the northeast Indiana economy are being backed up by data that suggest the region is making strides compared to other parts of the country. But the hard work is far from over. The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership held a “State of the Region” event Tuesday at The Summit in Fort Wayne, where representatives of the partnership and the Community Research Institute at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne discussed the findings of two reports that track a decade’s worth of economic data. One report, which the partnership has taken to calling a “dashboard,” compares the 10-county region to 14 roughly similar areas in the Midwest,
South and Great Plains and gauges how it’s faring compared to them. The other report focused solely on northeast Indiana’s largest industry sector: manufacturing. Coincidentally, in the days leading up to the event, data released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that per-capita personal income in northeast Indiana rose 5 percent in 2012, which was faster than the nation’s 3.4-percent growth rate. That’s significant because per-capita income has been singled out as an economic bellwether for the region by those charged to aid in its development. “That’s what the whole shebang is about,” said Katy Silliman, vice president of regional initiatives at the partnership, at the “State of the Region” event. In 2009, per-capita income in
northeast Indiana was 79 percent of the national average. With the gain in 2012, the disparity lessened; per-capita income in the region was 81.2 percent of the national average. “We’re not done until we’re at 100 percent or surpassing it,” Silliman said. Maintaining that rate of growth will be important in the years ahead, said Ellen Cutter, director of the CRI. The “dashboard” report is part of an ongoing initiative launched last year by the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership and the CRI to measure the area’s progress — to compare “the perception of what we’re doing to the reality,” Cutter said. Through endeavors like Vision 2020, the partnership, along with SEE REGION, PAGE A6
AUBURN — Waterloo-based metal recycler MetalX is planning to launch a second operation — with a reported $7.75 million investment — in Auburn. The Auburn City Council on Tuesday night heard plans for a proposed resolution granting MetalX tax phase-ins of six years on real estate and five years on personal property. The council is expected to consider a resolution at its Dec. 17 meeting. While details are not clear at this point, MetalX plans to move into the recently vacated Alcoa facility on Oren Drive, just off South Grandstaff Drive, the council learned. City attorney Erik Weber called the plan a “significant, significant proposal.” MetalX opened its first facility on Waterloo’s west edge in 2012. It recently announced plans to expand that plant, leading the town to annex acreage to allow for the development. In other Auburn council business Tuesday, Councilman Dick Stahly announced his resignation from the District 4 seat he’s held for six years, saying the decision came with “great, mixed feelings.” Stahly and his wife are moving to their retirement home off Lake Wawasee, he said.

Ex-police officer stands trial for conversion BY KATHRYN BASSETT kbassett@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — A former police officer took advantage of a federal program and turned it into a personal shopping program, special prosecutor Joe Rowe told DeKalb County Judge Kevin Wallace Tuesday. But defense attorney Kevin Likes said his client, Sean Kahkola, did not believe his use of the items obtained through the program was unauthorized. Kahkola, of the 15000 block of Towne Park Run, Huntertown, stood trial in DeKalb Superior Court I for two counts of criminal conversion, both Class A misdemeanors. He has pleaded not guilty. Kahkola originally
was charged with two counts of theft, both Class D felonies, but the charges were amended to the less-serious misdemeanors before the start of Tuesday’s bench trial. Wallace did not announce his verdict Tuesday, but said he will issue a written ruling after reviewing the more than 25 exhibits that were entered as evidence at the outset of the trial. Kahkola is accused of knowingly or intentionally exerting unauthorized control of a truck owned by the City of Auburn and a camper owned by the City of Garrett. In his opening statement, Rowe said Kahkola had been a police officer first in Garrett and then at the Auburn Police Department
and had been authorized to screen for items through a program that gives police departments items the federal government no longer wants, free of charge. Kahkola is accused of obtaining a 1988 Chevy truck that he indicated he was obtaining for the Auburn Police Kahkola Department and a 2002 Rockwood camper that he screened using his Garrett Police Department login number while he was employed by the Auburn Police Department. The titles for the truck and camper ultimately were transferred
into Kahkola’s name. He went on to sell the truck to his parents for $500 and traded in the camper and another vehicle he owned for $3,500 to an area car dealership, Rowe said. In his opening statement, Likes said Kahkola did obtain the truck and the camper after the vehicles were signed over to him by Auburn Police Chief Martin McCoy and former Garrett Police Chief Rex Harpel. “The transactions are not in dispute,” Likes said. “It’s our position Mr. Kahkola did not knowingly or intentionally exert unauthorized control over the property.” The state’s only witness, SEE TRIAL, PAGE A6

Auburn officer suspended after patrol car crash
DeKalb ICE honors student for November WATERLOO — Patsy DePew has been selected as the ICE Student of the Month at DeKalb High School. The Interdisciplinary Cooperative Education program aims to prepare students to enter the work force through class participation as well as on-the-job training. Class time includes discussions on what employers expect from employees, as well as what students can expect from their employers. Students receive training on job search strategies as well as career research. The role of health, attendance and safety in the workforce is emphasized. Skills of communication, math and computer literacy and personal finance are also focuses of the class. In the on-the-job ICE training, local businesses, professional areas and industries work together to provide educational workplaces. Students attend a one-hour class and three hours of on-the-job training each day in the ICE program. It is designed to create a positive working environment between the community and DeKalb High School. This month’s honored student tells her ICE story in her own words: My name is Patsy DePew, and I am a senior at DeKalb High School. I currently participate in the ICE program at the high school, which allows me to work for half of the day and attend school for the other half. Being in ICE and having a job has brought a positive meaning to me in many aspects. I have gained more confidence in myself, have better social skills and learned more what it is like to be in the workforce. These aspects and much more have taught me experiences which I can take with
me and use them as I go on in my life. The business I am currently working for is Jeremiah’s Brewed Awakenings in Auburn. Jeremiah’s Brewed Awakenings is a friendly, great atmospheric coffee shop. The coffee shop is located on Ninth Street, right across the street from Martha’s Popcorn. My job is a barista — I make and craft drinks such as coffee, smoothies, variety types of drinks with coffee (espresso) in them, etc. I also take orders and prepare foods such as pastries and lunch items. The biggest part of working there is interacting with the customers — gaining their trust and friendship and, of course, with something to drink. Before joining the ICE program and having a job, my life was a bit different. My dad passed away in May of 2012, and I went to live with my grandparents because of certain circumstances. Junior year went along and it was time to sign up for senior year. I had enough credits to graduate, but technically I still needed to finish up English 12 and government and economics. My grandpa and several friends told me to sign up for the ICE program, because they knew I would be great in the program. I signed up for the program, and I later got a follow-up with Mr. (Jon) Everingham (the instructor), saying I was one of the top candidates for the program. Ever since being in the program, I have learned so much about work life and about myself. I have learned about time and money management while being a part of the program. I have learned skills that I could use throughout my lifetime. I have learned that I am a stronger person than I thought I was. I am not shy to speak in front

of strangers or big crowds, nor am I afraid to express who I am. Work, school (taking a college class) and extracurricular activities such as marching band have got me to work hard on time management and being punctual. Earning money on my job has taught me to spend and save my money wisely — what is a want and a need, is it worth the money you earned? All of these skills and experiences I have gained from ICE will be used as useful tools as I go on with my life. Without the energies of great people coming together to do something great, neither the ICE program nor me being part of the program would be possible. Mr. Everingham, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your program and thank you for the advice and help you have given so far. Jeremiah Otis, thank you for allowing me to be one of your employees, part of the team, and taking part with the ICE program for DeKalb, we are all greatly appreciative of it. Karen Roark, Sue Randa and my other family members, friends, and teachers at
DeKalb (you all know who you are), thank you all for what you do for me and support me with everything I do. I cannot tell you how appreciative I am of all of you. You all have impacted me greatly in some shape or form, and I will never forget it. Thank you for all you did and still do for me to this day. “Cinderella” became one of my nicknames from a regular customer who comes into the coffee shop. The sense of humor and positivity of people is something I will take away from working at Jeremiah’s and being a part of the ICE program. When I would walk into the shop, Jeremiah or whoever was working at the time and all the regular customers would greet me and ask me how I am. Jeremiah’s and ICE gave me a sense of belonging, which made me feel like I was a part of something great. To anyone considering doing the ICE program and has the room to do it on their schedule, I would highly suggest it. ICE will teach you so much about the real world and the skills you will need to succeed in life.

AUBURN — The Auburn Police Department confirmed Tuesday morning the identity of an officer who was suspended for three days after being involved in an on-duty crash while he responded to a bank alarm in his police cruiser Nov. 20. The Auburn Board of Works learned of the suspension at its Nov. 27 meeting. At that time, Capt. Mark Stump declined to the identify the suspended officer when asked by a reporter. The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department investigated a two-vehicle crash involving Patrolman Jeremy Heffelfinger and a city police car and an Auburn woman’s vehicle on Nov. 20. Auburn Police Chief Martin McCoy identified the officer Tuesday morning. According to the accident report, Heffelfinger was driving east on 17th Street in his fully marked 2006 Dodge Charger police cruiser at 6:24 p.m. Heffelfinger said he was driving with his emergency lights and siren activated as he responded to an alarm at PNC Bank, 101 N. Main St. Heffelfinger said he stopped at the intersection of Van Buren Street for a
stop sign. Heffelfinger said he thought a 2003 Toyota Camry driven by Diane E. Nagel, 64, was going to stop to yield to his emergency vehicle. Heffelfinger pulled into the intersection and struck Nagel’s Toyota in the rear portion of the driver’s-side. Nagel told investigators that by the time she saw the emergency lights, it was too late for her to yield to the emergency vehicle. The crash resulted in an estimated $5,000-$10,000 in total damage to both vehicles, according to the crash report. The primary cause of the crash was listed in the report as Heffelfinger’s failure to yield. McCoy said technically, his officer was in the right, and that by law civilian motorists are required to yield the right of way to police and other emergency vehicles who have their emergency lights activated. McCoy said Heffelfinger was suspended because it was the officer’s duty “to ensure the safety of everybody,” even those who fail to yield. Heffelfinger, 28, became a patrolman Sept. 19, 2011. The Nov. 20 crash was his first as a police officer. The bank alarm was tripped by a cleaning crew that did not have the proper pass code, McCoy said.

Court in South Bend claims the U.S. Affordable Health Care Act violates Notre Dame’s freedom to practice religion without government interference. Under the law, employers must provide insurance that covers a range of care, free of charge, including contraception. The teachings of the Catholic church prohibit the use of contraceptives. Notre Dame says in the lawsuit that its employee health plans are self-insured, covering about 4,600 employees and a total of about 11,000 people. Its student health plan covers about 2,600 students. The lawsuit says Notre Dame’s health plans do not cover abortion-inducing products, contraceptives or sterilization.

Council OKs $950,000 sewer project BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — The Butler Board of Works has hired an Indianapolis-based engineering firm for an equipment replacement project near the Steel Dynamics complex southwest of Butler. For a guaranteed maximum price of $950,635, Bowen Engineering will oversee all aspects of the project, which includes replacing a pump station and approximately 1,800 feet of occluded force main near the complex. That force main eventually ties into Butler’s sewer system. Bowen’s responsibilities include hiring contractors for the work, after consulting with the City of Butler’s engineers, Mayor Ron Walter explained after the meeting. “It eliminates a lot of steps,� he said. “They’ll hire the electricians, welders, and excavators they want. There has to be
Butler • some sort of energy-savings mechanism. On that project, it may have to do with the pump station at SDI.� Bowen will be required to pay common wage rates, Walter added. Steel Dynamics will reimburse the City of Butler for the $950,635 cost, city officials said. Any cost overruns not approved by Butler officials will be Bowen’s responsibility. A pre-construction meeting will take place Jan. 13, after which a notice to proceed may be issued, said consultant Dave Wagner of Millennium Environmental. Walter and board member Eric Johnson cast votes in favor of the Bowen contract. Board member Tammy Davis abstained, citing a conflict of interest because she works for Steel Dynamics. In a meeting later Monday, by 5-0 votes,
the Butler City Council approved additional appropriations of up to $40,000 for the Butler Fire Department and up to $10,000 for Thompson Building renovations. The fire department will pay off an airpack lease early and use the remaining funds for an electronic sign. Some new windows will be installed in the Thompson Building, and the fire alarm system will be repaired. A recent storm caused the alarm panel to trip repeatedly, Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck explained. The City Council also approved a transfer of $8,397 to the Butler-Wilmington Township Fire Territory’s equipment replacement fund, to go toward a future purchase of a fire truck. The money was in another fire territory fund that was not going to be used in 2013. City planner Steve Bingham recently met with state officials to see
if assistance is possible with the vacant Engineered Materials building. Bingham reported state help is available to clean up city-owned properties. Engineered Materials is not owned by the city. Police Chief Jim Nichols reported four families received pre-cooked Thanksgiving meals from police officers. This is the first year police officers have participated in the well-received event. Eck reported that by switching to PHP as its carrier, Butler will realize significant insurance savings in 2014. Employees can pick from two different plans, based on their needs. An insurance meeting with employees is set for Friday. Eck announced the Indiana State Board of Accounts found that Butler’s federal withholding tax fund had an overdrawn balance of $2,860 on Dec. 31, 2012, resulting from an overpayment that was refunded in March 2013.

INDIANAPOLIS — Mayors from across Indiana — including Angola’s Dick Hickman — on Tuesday stood with Freedom Indiana and spoke out against House Joint Resolution 6, the proposed amendment to the Indiana Constitution that would permanently define marriage and would remove existing protections under law for same-sex and unmarried couples and families. The bipartisan group of 11 Indiana mayors oppose the amendment for a variety of reasons but they all agree the language should not be added to the state’s constitution. “We’re proud to stand with these mayors from across our state as champions of freedom for all Hoosiers,� said Freedom Indiana campaign manager Megan Robertson. “They represent cities large and small, and they understand that this amendment will make it harder for them to build their local economies, recruit new residents and maintain existing protections for same-sex and unmarried couples.� Of the mayors who took
a stand against the ban on same sex couple marriage, Angola was the smallest community. “Equality means equality for all. Equal rights means equal rights for all. To take these rights away from one group of people means we can take them away or deny them to anyone we don’t understand or agree with,� Hickman said in a statement released by Freedom Indiana. Freedom Indiana is leading the fight against Hickman enactment of HJR-6. The resolution has already been approved by one legislature and must be approved by the end of the 2014 session before the proposed constitutional amendment could be put before the public for a vote in November. If the measure does not pass this upcoming legislative session it dies. If the language of the proposed amendment is altered and it is approved, the resolution will have to pass a second time in either 2015 or 2016 to be put on the ballot.

People view a roadside memorial at the site of the auto crash that took the life of actor Paul Walker and another man, in the small community of Valencia, Calif., Monday. The neighborhood where “Fast & Furious” star Walker died in the one-car crash is known to attract street racers, according to law enforcement officials. Walker and his friend and fellow fast-car enthusiast Roger Rodas died Saturday when the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT they were traveling in smashed into a light pole and tree. The two had taken what was expected to be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser at Rodas’ custom car shop in Valencia, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Walker autopsy underway; ‘Fast & Furious 7’ halted LOS ANGELES (AP) — The movie studio that makes the “Fast & Furious” action franchise said Tuesday it was suspending production of the latest installment, while authorities pressed ahead with their investigation into how Paul Walker died. The Los Angeles County coroner’s office said autopsies were underway on the two bodies recovered from the fiery crash of a Porsche that Walker, a star of the mega-hit movies, and his friend were last seen riding in. Walker’s publicist has said the actor was the passenger when Roger Rodas’ Porsche Carrera GT crashed into a light pole and tree, then exploded in flames Saturday. The families of both men have provided dental records, which will permit not only formal identification of the bodies, but also official word on whether Walker or Rodas was behind the wheel. Walker starred in all but one of the six “Fast & Furious” blockbusters. He had been on break from shooting the latest installment; Universal Pictures said Tuesday that production of “Fast & Furious 7” is on hold. A spokesman declined to say when shooting would resume. A large portion of the film has been shot, but it is not yet complete. It’s scheduled for release in July. Universal Pictures has not announced how it will adjust the movie or handle Walker’s unfinished performance.
While the neighborhood where the crash happened is known to attract street racers, law enforcement officials do not believe the Porsche had been racing another car. Accident investigators “have received eyewitness statements that the car involved was traveling alone at a high rate of speed,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. “No eyewitness has contacted the (department) to say there was a second vehicle.” Hindering the accident investigation has been the crowds of fans that flocked to the crash site to leave flowers, candles and memorabilia from the action films. On Saturday afternoon, Walker and Rodas took what they said would be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas’ custom car shop. The crash happened on a street that forms an approximately 1-mile loop amid industrial office parks. It is rimmed by hills and relatively isolated from traffic, especially on weekends when the businesses are closed. While Rodas was Walker’s financial adviser, the two had bonded over their shared love of fast cars. They co-owned an auto racing team named after Rodas’ shop, Always Evolving, and Rodas drove professionally on the team in the Pirelli World Challenge circuit in 2013.

Eastside chose Blazers nickname 50 years ago BY JEFF JONES jjones@kpcmedia.com
BUTLER — Imagine it’s opening night of basketball season and the announcer intones over the public address system, “Let’s welcome your Northeastern Trojans,� “Eastwood Spartans� or “Butler Bearcats� instead of Eastside Blazers. Any combination of those names could have been the official school name and nickname of the DeKalb Eastern school district’s sports teams. In May 1963, the DeKalb Eastern school board, which had been in existence less than a year, chose Eastside and Blazers from the choices listed above, as submitted by Butler and Riverdale students. That fall, those students united in the great adventure that was Eastside. According to an article in the St. Joe News, earlier in the 1962-1963 school year, Butler High School principal Kent Myers was placed in charge of the project. “I was the student council advisor, and I think maybe because I taught at Butler and graduated from Riverdale, (school leaders felt) that I might be able to bring things together a little,� retired teacher
Robert Wilder said. “I remember driving to Riverdale and bringing those students to Butler for meetings,� he said. “My memory is they made recommendations on the school name, the nickname and school colors.� Students at Butler and Riverdale submitted names through their respective home rooms, organizations and student councils. Those names were then given to a joint council, headed by Wilder, and that group pared down the ideas to submit to the school board. “They settled on green and white,� Wilder said. “I think a lot of that was probably so they could continue to use the athletic uniforms. I don’t remember exactly what they did on band uniforms, whether they got new ones or used the Butler uniforms.� Wilder came up with Riverdale name — inspired by the high school in Archie comics — when St. Joe and Spencerville high schools and Newville Township schools consolidated in the 1950s.
Blazers are born Becky (Stiver) Craig, was an eighth-grade student at Riverdale in spring 1963. Several friends
“We were tossing around things, such as Lions and Tigers. They seemed kind of ordinary, and we wanted something different. I didn’t know anybody that had used Blazers before.� Becky (Stiver) Craig 1960s Eastside student
• and classmates credit her with coming up with the nickname for the new high school. Craig, 64, who now lives with husband Jim in a St. Louis suburb, said Blazers was meant to be unique compared to other area school nicknames. “I can remember brainstorming, talking about names,â€? she said. “We were tossing around things, such as Lions and Tigers. They seemed kind of ordinary, and we wanted something different. I didn’t know anybody that had used Blazers before.â€? Mission accomplished. Today, Elkhart Central (Blue Blazers) and Michigan City Marquette, a private school, are the only other Indiana schools that use Blazers as a nickname. As far as Craig is concerned, a Blazer was “like a candle flame,
Craig remembered. When it came to naming the school, Eastside was one of the popular picks because it was similar to North Side and South Side in Fort Wayne. “It sounded like a city school, even though we were in a farming community,� Craig said.
Green kept as color something that would burn you,� or be the spark that starts a fire. “I was from Riverdale, and we were the Comets,� she said. “I thought Blazers exemplified that as well, but it was far enough away that it wouldn’t conflict.� Butler was home to an Indiana Michigan Electric Power office, and I&M was one of many electric companies that used the mascot Reddy Kilowatt in advertising to promote electricity. Reddy Kilowatt, whose body was comprised of lightning bolts, was created in 1926 by Ashton B. Collins Sr., who worked for the Alabama Power Co. Reddy was licensed to more than 300 electrical companies across the U.S. to promote electricity. “We thought he was a cute kind of mascot, and we started to visualize that,�
Colors are an important part of a school’s identity. Picking Eastside’s official colors followed logical reasoning. Green was the primary color for both Butler and Riverdale high schools. White wasn’t used by either school, and its selection avoided favoritism issues. Green and white remain Eastside’s official school colors to this day. Schools often use uniforms for several years, passing them down for reserve and even junior high teams to use. In the beginning, Eastside recycled some uniforms used by Butler and Riverdale athletes until new ones could be purchased. Eastern DeKalb County schools have had a colorful history. The St. Joe Tigers were orange and black, and the Spencerville Red Raiders were red and white.

Sparky adorned the back of cheerleader jackets in the late 1960s as Eastside’s mascot. The Blazer nickname was created by 1967 graduate Becky (Stiver) Craig.
When those schools went together with Newville Township in the 1950s, Riverdale’s colors were green and gray. In addition to green and gold, Butler High School Windmill teams also wore combinations of red, gold and black, often in the “Gamemaster� brand, made in Butler by the Marshall Clothing Manufacturing Co. Eastside’s “Sparky� basketball warm-ups were made by Marshall Clothing. The green-and-white Blazers have provided plenty of excitement since then.

The DeKalb County Republican Party will hold a caucus to elect Stahly’s replacement. The council also: • passed on first reading the 2014 salaries for elected officials. While pay for council members will remain flat, the mayor ($52,518 per year) and clerk-treasurer ($50,743) will receive raises of $600 per year, if approved, to cover spikes in insurance costs. Councilman Mike Walter voted against the salary adjustments, saying raises should not be granted to elected officials during
“It’s been a blast,” said Stahly, who will work his final week at Foley Pattern this week. Stahly previously worked 14 years for the Auburn Fire Department, where he served more than seven years as the department’s assistant fire chief. Stahly said one of his goals as councilman was to see Auburn Essential Services take off, which he considers accomplished. “We don’t like to see you go, Dick, but we understand the advantages of living at the lake,” Mayor Norm Yoder said.

Nichols and Stephens praised the law enforcement response to the situation. Officers from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and Waterloo Marshal’s Department assisted Butler Police. In October, in conjunction with Indiana State Police, Butler Police and the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, all DeKalb Eastern teachers and staff members participated in a “live shooter” training exercise that simulated someone entering the school with a firearm. “It worked out the way it’s supposed to,” Stephens said about Tuesday’s incident. “I appreciate police responding as quickly as they did. They resolved the situation quickly and allowed us to get the kids home safely. “The staff did a fabulous job of doing what they were trained to do,” Stephens continued. “It was a live situation that I hope we never have to repeat.”
also gauges the region against five “star” areas that have a track record of high economic performance: Davenport, Iowa; Roanoke, Va.; Des Moines; Peoria, Ill.; and Wichita, Kan. The “dashboard” looked at five key growth measures and found: • Employment grew by 1.5 percent in northeast Indiana in 2012, the latest year available, and by 3.8 percent from 2009-2012. The four-year increase was more than that experienced by the peers (3.5 percent) and stars (2 percent). • Per-capita income rose from 2008 to 2011 by 2.5 percent, which was less than the peers (3.8 percent) but more than the stars (2 percent). • Gross regional product
advanced by 1.7 percent in 2011 and by 2.3 percent from 2008 to 2011. For the four-year period, the peers saw a gain of 1 percent, while the stars saw a 2.4-percent increase. • Productivity declined in the region by 0.1 percent in 2011, but advanced by 5.9 percent from 2008 to 2011 — outpacing the peers (3.5 percent) and stars (5.2 percent). • The region saw a 0.8-percent increase in its younger adult population — those ages 25 to 44 — in 2011, but an overall decline of 1.9 percent from 2008 to 2011. The peers also posted a decline of 2.6 percent during the four-year period, while the stars had an increase of 0.8 percent.

protocols are put into action,” Nichols stated. “It could have ended a lot differently,” the chief added. “We had no idea who he was. We had a guy in a vehicle in camouflage not listening to what we were saying. It was pretty scary.” Police were in contact with school officials throughout the situation, which was under control in about 10 minutes, Nichols said. No shots were fired in the incident. “As soon as we got word, we locked down the building,” DeKalb Eastern schools Superintendent Dr. Jeff Stephens said. “It was at dismissal. Anyone who was on a bus, we got them back inside. When they gave us the all-clear, we let everyone go home.” School officials sent out messages by the school’s automatic email and voice mail system to alert parents to the situation. That system also is used to notify parents of school delays and cancellations.

a curb in the east parking lot, strike a concrete guard pole and stop his vehicle,” Nichols said. The witness told police Czaja exited the Durango and put on a camouflage jacket, face mask and sunglasses. The witness reported seeing a rifle in the vehicle’s front seat. After donning the apparel, Czaja got back into his vehicle, left the parking lot and drove west on Green Street in front of the school, the witness told police. “When we got there, he wasn’t listening to anything we were saying,” Nichols said about Czaja. “(Later), what he was telling us, he was there to pick up one of his kids. He told us he put that stuff on because he wanted to scare her. “Anytime we receive a call involving weapons in close proximity to our schools, we take it very seriously and are on high alert, and our active shooter
Indiana State Police Detective Kevin Smith, testified he was called to investigate the case after Garrett Police Chief Keith Hefner obtained a list of surplus items the department was supposed to have and became concerned. Kahkola took the witness stand in his own defense. He testified he was involved in procuring items through the federal military surplus program and that available items could range from a nut and bolt to aircraft. He said there was no written policy on the program that was given to him by either the Auburn or Garrett police department. Kahkola testified that McCoy “didn’t really care” what Kahkola screened for. He said there was never any discussion on what should happen to the items after they had been used and that the truck and camper he obtained were not required to be turned back to the federal government at some point in the future. “Technically, they are throw-away items,” Kahkola said of the surplus items offered through the program. Kahkola testified he recalled screening for the truck and that he told McCoy he was remodeling his home and did not have a truck. Kahkola said he asked McCoy if he would have a problem with that. “He didn’t care,” Kahkola said. Kahkola said he put in his request for the truck through the program’s website, and it was approved. Kahkola said he then obtained McCoy’s signature on a document so he could pick up the vehicle. The truck eventually was titled to Kahkola, with documents again signed by McCoy, Kahkola said. Kahkola said neither McCoy or any other official asked for the truck back or indicated an intent to use it in an official capacity. Kahkola said he kept the truck at his house, and other officers knew he had the vehicle.
In obtaining the camper, Kahkola said, he mistakenly used his Garrett screening code because it was similar to his Auburn code. He acknowledged the camper was intended for his personal use and that he did not have any conversations with McCoy about it. “I screened a lot of things without talking to the chief. He didn’t care about that stuff. He didn’t have a problem with that,” Kahkola testified. Kahkola said he picked up the camper from Kentucky and spent time fixing it up. Eventually he used it as part of a trade-in for another vehicle at an area car dealership. During cross-examination, Rowe asked Kahkola if he was familiar with the guidelines and rules of the surplus equipment program. Kahkola said he was. “(One of the ) primary rules is that this program has never been, and never will be, a shopping program for personal gain,” Rowe said. “Were you shopping for personal gain?’ “I guess everybody else did, too,” said Kahkola. Earlier in the trial, Kahkola said other officers had obtained equipment through the program such as four-wheelers, computer equipment, a generator and another camper. Kahkola agreed that the purpose of the program is to benefit police departments and not individuals. “So when you went screening for property, you were supposed to be screening for property needed by the police department?” Rowe asked. Yes, Kahkola agreed, admitting that he indicated in his request that the item would be for police use and not his personal use. Rowe drew Kahkola’s attention to a portion of a deposition given by McCoy, in which McCoy said it would not have been permissible for Kahkola to keep the truck for three years for his personal use. When asked whether Kahkola thought McCoy was lying under oath,
Kahkola replied, “Yes, he was.” Rowe noted that in his deposition, McCoy also stated he would not have allowed Kahkola to trade in the camper. “So he’s lying under oath?” Rowe asked. “Yes, he’s lying under oath,” Kahkola replied. Rowe asked Kahkola whether McCoy had told him to resign or face being fired from the Auburn Police Department. Kahkola agreed McCoy had said that. “He was in the hot seat, and if he doesn’t do anything, it’s going to look bad on him,” Kahkola said. Before inviting closing statements from Likes and Rowe, Wallace pointed out that in charging documents, the conversions are alleged to have taken place when Kahkola already had title to the truck and camper. “If conversion occurred, it occurred prior to the title being transferred to Mr. Kahkola’s name,” Wallace said. He invited the attorneys to address that issue in their closing statements. Rowe said timing was not a critical element in this particular charge. “The fact is he did it. He got property by false pretenses, used it for his own personal use and then disposed of it without authority,” Rowe said. Rowe conceded that the program was “sloppy” and was not correctly supervised. “But that doesn’t mean a police officer has the right to take advantage of it,” Rowe added. “He turned this federal program into a personal shopping program. It doesn’t matter that other people did the same thing. It doesn’t make it right.” Likes argued that while the program was being run in a “very slip-shod fashion” there was no unauthorized use of the items. “The evidence is uncontradicted that the way the program was being run, a reasonable person could have believed that the department was not going to say it was unauthorized use,” Likes said.

LEO — The DeKalb girls basketball team had numerous opportunities to steal the win from Leo in Tuesday’s non-conference tilt. Unfortunately for the Barons, missed shots and turnovers in the final four minutes prevented the Barons from chipping into the Lions’ small lead, and host Leo hung on to earn a 49-46 victory. “We didn’t shoot the ball very well but still had a chance at the end,” said DeKalb coach Nick David. “We had good looks and they just didn’t fall. But you can’t rely on that. You have to rely on your defense to give you buckets in transition and we didn’t have that (Tuesday night).” With 4:31 left in the game, DeKalb’s Skylar Ostrowski hit a jump hook to cut Leo’s lead to 44-41. Thirty seconds later, Leo’s Jenna Beer got a lay-up to make it 46-41, and that’s where the score stayed for 2 1/2 minutes as the Barons couldn’t take advantage of Leo turnovers — the Lions had 21 for the game — and missed open looks at the basket. Despite that, the Barons did make things interesting late after Baylee Rinehart made a free throw and Brooke Leins hit a lay-up with 23.7 seconds left to make it 47-44. The Baron defense rose to the occasion and forced a turnover with its press, but Rinehart’s jumper from inside the paint with 13 seconds left missed, and Leo’s Toby Carman sank both free throws on the ensuing foul.

Leo’s Tia Lindsey, with ball, breaks out from the pack after stripping the ball from a DeKalb player during Tuesday night’s non-conference game.
Leo’s 21 turnovers — to DeKalb’s 11 — kept the Barons in the game. DeKalb struggled shooting from the field (17 of 50, 34 percent) and the free-throw line (8 of 17, 47 percent). “You have to give credit to Leo. They did a nice job stepping up and hitting free throws, and we didn’t. You can’t win games when
DeKalb’s Maddy Fifer (24) and Kendall Kelley (30) give chase.
Lion freshman Abbie Heischman led her team with 14 points and hit two treys in the first half. Beer came off the bench to score 11 points and Carman was also in double figures with 10 points. For David, however, it was DeKalb’s defensive play which
you’re doing that,” David said. “When you shoot that percentage from the free-throw line, you’re not going to win.” Leo, on the other hand, made 19 of 34 shots (56 percent) from the field, with Lion players using their athleticism to slice through the Baron defense for lay-ups and knock down open jumpers.

No. 4 Syracuse defeats Indiana, 69-52 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Last March, Syracuse shut down Indiana in the NCAA tournament with coach Jim Boeheim’s signature 2-3 zone defense. Different season, same result for the Hoosiers. The Orange backcourt of Trevor Cooney and Tyler Ennis combined for 38 points, nine assists and eight steals, and No. 4 Syracuse beat Indiana 69-52 in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Tuesday night. “Because it’s Indiana, it’s kind of like a rivalry, and they’re a really good team,” said Cooney, who scored 21 points. “We wanted to come out and prove to everyone that we’re a good team.” Syracuse, fresh from winning the Maui Invitational, registered seven blocked shots, 10 steals and matched the nation’s top team on the glass with 29 rebounds with just a 12-11 deficit on the offensive glass. Indiana shot 15 of 41 (36.6 percent) and was 6 of 13 from the field in the second half in getting outscored 36-23. “We finally got our offense going a little bit, made a couple of

baskets, but our defense was really the difference for the first time this year,” Boeheim said. “Coming back from Hawaii, I thought the way everybody held their legs was pretty good. Our energy level was pretty
good.” So, too, was that of the crowd of 26,414, whose deafening roars in the second half rocked the Carrier Dome as the Orange assumed control. “We just get up for these games,”
Ennis said. Syracuse (8-0) has won 46 straight nonconference games at home, and there was no love lost in this rematch from last season’s East Regional semifinal won handily by the Orange. Indiana was called for two flagrant fouls Tuesday, the second coming in the second half as the game was slipping away. Syracuse used a 25-4 run to break open a tie game after holding just a 33-29 halftime lead despite scoring the game’s first 10 points. “The first three, four possessions. I’m not a big believer in the first 5 minutes, but this one was,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said. “This is one of those games where the first few possessions were going to be absolutely crucial in the second half, and they were. And it totally went the other way. I’m unbelievably disappointed in the lack of fight in the second half.” The youthful Hoosiers (6-2) had only lost, 59-58, to No. 12 Connecticut at Madison Square Garden in the championship game of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project.
Yanks, Ellsbury reach $153 million deal NEW YORK (AP) — Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. Ellsbury is the second major free-agent addition in the Yankees’ offseason rebuilding after missing the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years. The center fielder was to take a physical in New York on Wednesday that he must pass before the deal can be finalized, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. The Yankees also had been negotiating with outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, who like Ellsbury is represented by agent Scott Boras. Earlier Tuesday, New York finalized an $85 million, five-year contract with All-Star catcher Brian McCann. There is a long history of stars moving from Beantown to the Big Apple during their careers. Babe Ruth was the most famous, and
Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs and Johnny Damon followed. Ellsbury, who turned 30 in September, led the majors with 52 stolen bases despite being hobbled late in the season by a broken right foot. The lefty-hitting leadoff man batted .298 with nine homers and 53 RBIs, and the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium should boost his power numbers. Ellsbury’s deal includes a $21 million option for the 2021 season, with a $5 million buyout. If the option is exercised, the deal would be worth $169 million over eight years. His agreement may not be finalized this week, and it’s possible he could be introduced by the Yankees during a news conference at the winter meetings next week in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The move would raise the Yankees’ luxury tax payroll to about $138 million for 10 players. The Yankees hope to get under the $189 million tax threshold next season, which includes about $177 million for salaries for the 40-man roster and approximately $12 million for benefits.
Cochran named third-team All-State CARMEL — DeKalb junior Brennan Cochran was selected third-team All-State at the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association banquet on Nov. 24. Cochran was also selected First Team All-District. In the all-star games played on Nov. 23, Cocharn scored two goals in the first game and had two more in the afternoon game, scoring the match-winner with 15 seconds left in the second contest. This season, Cochran finished with 41 goals and 10 assists in helping the Barons finish 16-4 and reach the regional championship game. DeKalb senior Ross Gramling was honored as an ISCA Top Team player, and senior Landon Cochran earned Second Team All-District honors for the second straight year.

Garrett wrestling moves forward without Lee BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com
GARRETT — Make no mistake, there’s plenty of talent on this year’s Garrett wrestling squad, even without the return of two-time state qualifier Hayden Lee. The loss of Lee — who moved to Ohio in the offseason — is a difficult one for the Railroader program. The would-be senior went 40-5 last year and finished in sixth place at 106 pounds in the Indiana High School Athletic Association state finals last season. Lee also placed third in the same weight class in 2012. Leading the charge for the coach Nick Kraus and the Railroaders this season is 195-pound junior Bo Davis, a semistate qualifier last year. Davis (27-11) actually finished fifth in the regional but advanced after another wrestler had to bow out of the semistate. The drive is there for Davis to not only reach the semistate again, but make it to the state finals as well. Kraus said that Davis was a smaller 195-pounder last year but has filled out his frame in preparation for this winter. “It’s just his work ethic,” Kraus said. “He always wants to learn more. Bo will tell you he’s got a lot to work on but his strength was one of the biggest things over the summer and the offseason, not only in wrestling but in football. He’s got his numbers up there pretty good and grew into the 195-pound weight class. “He’ll get a hold of me after practice, look stuff up on YouTube, do research. He just put in a lot of work.” Over the summer, Davis

Front row (left to right): Zak Kashmer, Dalton Halferty, Dustin Underwood, Kaylea Isham, Heavyn Heal, Stacy McBride, Derrek Metzger, Dustin Alwine, Anton Novy and Dylan DeMarco. Middle row: Jordan Gunion, Michael Sexton, Carlos Jimenez, Samuel Lawrence, Cordell Camp, Trent Schott, Drake Stafford, Noah Hartman, Jaden Barker and Gabe Gunion. Back row: Head coach Nick Kraus, Dylan VandeZande, Junior Custer, Ivan Jacobs, Kyler Perez, Blake Davis, Bo Davis, Sean Heiman, Ryan Hathaway, Assistant Coach Tyler Lanning and Assistant Coach Mike Poppe.
also entered himself into the national tournament and went 11-1, wrestling a couple of state qualifiers from Michigan, and beating one of them. Davis also had knee surgery in the offseason, although he did play football in the fall without complication in the latter half of the season. Also expected to be among the top wrestlers is senior 160-pounder Gabe Gunion (20-12). Gunion was a regional qualifier as a sophomore, but last
year Kraus said he was wrestling two classer higher than he should have. “It was tough wrestling at the weight he was at,” Kraus said. “The weight class was stacked in our area. The first-place finisher in our sectional was a state-runner-up, and the secondand third-place finishers in his sectional and regional have graduated, and he’s got the possibility of making state if he can stay consistent in practice.”
Sophomore Blake Davis (220) is another top returner, but his availability is in doubt due to a broke foot suffered during football season. He went 18-10 last year in the same weight class. “I don’t know if he’ll be back before sectionals,” Kraus said. Junior Kyler Perez is likely to wrestle at 220. Senior Dustin Alwine (138 pounds) went 9-16 a year ago, a record hurt due to the fact he was recovering from surgery. Kraus

irked him the most. “We let them get to the basket untouched,” David said. “We work way too hard on defense to let that happen. So that’s very disappointing. We just have to go back to work tomorrow and try to get ready for our first conference game. “We talked for two days about (Heischman and Beer), and they were still able to get some open looks. Brooke Leins didn’t come out of the game. She played her heart out, but we have to have better help-side defense and not let people just go to the basket.” Rachel Ehmke matched Heischman’s total with 14 points and also had a co-team-high seven rebounds. Rinehart tallied 13 points, Ostrowski had eight points, Leins and Maddy Fifer had four points each, and Kendall Kelley had three points. Kelley also had seven rebounds. DeKalb led 15-13 in the

second quarter before Leo went on an 8-1 run to take a 21-16 lead. A Rinehart 3-pointer and free-throw cut Leo’s lead to 21-20, with the Lions taking a 24-22 lead into the break. Rinehart hit two free-throws to tie it at 24-24 12 seconds into the third quarter, but Leo then went on a 14-2 run over the next four minutes to push the lead to 28-26. But the Barons responded with a 10-2 run of their
own, including a pair of 3-pointers from Ehmke, to cut Leo’s lead to 40-36 after three quarters. “Rachel hit some big 3s for us,” David said. “She had a couple good looks there at the end, just didn’t fall.” Junior Varisty Leo 40, DeKalb 33 Leo defeated DeKalb, 40-33, in junior varsity action.

Pistons snap Heat’s 10-game streak MIAMI (AP) — It was just a game, not a playoff series. Still, Brandon Jennings finally got a long-awaited win over the Miami Heat. And he made the two biggest plays to get it done. Jennings made a deep, well-covered 3-pointer to snuff out one Miami rally with 4:09 left, then stole the ball from LeBron James to set up another score two minutes later, and the Detroit Pistons beat the Heat 107-97 on Tuesday night to snap the NBA champions’ 10-game winning streak. Kyle Singler scored 18 points to lead seven Detroit players in double figures,
said he’s improved his bench from 185 pounds to 240. “That’s going to help him a lot wrestling at 138,” Kraus said. “He’ll be one of the stronger wrestlers in the area, directing younger and older kids on some things to do. I think he can go pretty far in the state tournament series.” Garrett also has a strong incoming freshman class that went 13-0 last year in dual meets and won both the Tri-County Athletic Conference and Allen County Athletic Conference championships. “They’re used to being successful,” Kraus said. “They have high expectations coming in and spent a lot of time in offseason tournaments. A lot of them have been wrestling since they were younger and they know what their goals are.” Three freshman expected to start immediately are Dylan DeMarco (113), Jordan Barker (132) and Jordan Gunion (145) Replacing Lee at 106 pounds is sophomore Zane Hargrove. “He was around .500 last year and didn’t have much wrestling experience,” Kraus said. “He went to some wrestling tournaments this offseason and went to a club called Warrior Elite all summer long. He’s a guy I look to have some success.” Others in the mix to earn varsity time are senior Dustin Underwood (126 pounds), sophomore Michael Sexton (152), junior Ryan Hathaway (170), senior Sean Heiman (182), senior Ivan Jacobs (285), sophomore Samuel Lawrence (152) and senior Dalton Halferty (120).
Andre Drummond had 18 rebounds — more than any three Heat players combined — and Greg Monroe and Rodney Stuckey each scored 16 for the Pistons. “We had a lot of good performances from a lot of people,” Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said. “Then we just held our composure because we knew that at some point they’d make a run. Brandon made that big 3 and we were able to hold on. When Brandon hit that big 3, it kind of settled us down a little bit.” It might have of deflated the Heat, too. Miami trailed by as many as 18 and then got within
three on a dunk by James midway through the fourth. The Heat then missed their next three shots, two of them 3-point tries that would have knotted the game, before Jennings connected from 26 feet out — “the dagger from 90 feet,” James said afterward — to put Detroit up by six. “Just the way the game goes,” said Heat guard Norris Cole, who was defending Jennings on the play. “He made a big shot. Just got to tip your hat.” The Heat never got any closer. They nearly did, being down seven and with James charging downcourt with about two minutes left,
but Jennings stole the ball away, brought it to the other end and set up Monroe for an easy bucket that sealed the deal for Detroit. And for Jennings — who predicted his Milwaukee Bucks would oust the Heat in six games when they met in the opening round of last season’s playoffs, then got swept — it was a small measure of comeuppance. “They didn’t make shots down the stretch that they usually do,” said Jennings, who’s in his first season with the Pistons. “We’re still getting better and better. But we can’t have a stretch like in the fourth, with a lead, that we couldn’t get a bucket.”
GARRETT — Garrett senior Brandi Dawson had a double-double with 29 points and 19 rebounds to lead the Railroaders past Prairie Heights, 57-33, on Tuesday night.

Garrett also won the junior varsity game, 24-15. For the Railroaders, Newby led the way with eight points.

Zeke Farnsworth scored 14 to lead all scorers in the game and Jake Ingram added 10 for Lakewood.

Colin Goebel and Jackson Pyck Hontz each had two to round out the scoring for the Patriots.
Panthers defeat Canterbury AUBURN — The Lakewood Park Christian eighth-grade team defeated Canterbury, 34-32, on Monday.

Harrison Roberts had eight points and Drew Lyons scored seven points. Carsten White and Elijah Gardner also scored for Lakewood. Roberts, Isaac Schlotterback and Carter Gonzales were noted for their roles in a Panther defense which created 19 turnovers in the game.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Big Ten hands out grid awards CHICAGO (AP) — Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. Miller has averaged 265 yards of total offense and accounted for 29 total touchdowns while leading Ohio State to a 12-0 record despite a knee injury early in the season. The Buckeyes will play Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday. Wisconsin’s Chris Borland was announced as the Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday and Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg as Freshman of the Year. Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio was selected Coach of the Year by both the coaches and media after leading the Spartans to an 11-1 record — 8-0 in conference play — and the Legends Division crown.
Rays, Reds, Arizona make deal ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Catcher Ryan Hanigan and reliever Heath Smith are eager to try to help the Tampa Bay Rays get back to the playoffs. Hanigan was acquired from the Cincinnati Reds and Bell from the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of a three-team trade Tuesday. The deal was announced after Hanigan agreed to a $10.75 million, three-year contract that runs through 2016 and includes a club option for 2017. Tampa Bay sent minor league pitcher Justin Choate and a player to be named to the Diamondbacks. Arizona dealt left-hander David Holmberg to Cincinnati. Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman called a Hanigan “a tremendously talented defensive catcher” who can also help the Rays offensively. “He takes a lot of pride in what he does behind the plate and we also like what he can do in the batter’s box, especially against left-handed pitching,” Friedman said. “He’s a guy we’ve had our eye on for a while. and so when we had the opportunity to acquire him, we were aggressive to do so.” Hanigan, 33, is expected to become Tampa Bay’s primary catcher, even though he and Friedman said they won’t head into spring training with a preconceived notion. The trade was completed a day after free agent catcher Jose Molina was re-signed to a $4.5 million, two-year contract. Bell will be a candidate to become the Rays’ closer — a job held the past two seasons by Fernando Rodney, who is a free agent.
Tomlin sorry for sideline issue PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has plenty of words to describe his ill-timed foray onto the field last week against Baltimore. Intentional is not one of them. Tomlin apologized at length Tuesday for nearly interfering with Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones in the third quarter of a 22-20 Baltimore victory on Thanksgiving night, calling it “embarrassing, inexcusable, illegal, a blunder.” “There are repercussions of a blunder of that nature and I embrace it,” he said. “With my position comes the charge of preserving and protecting the game of football. … I think my biggest error on Thursday night is not realizing that play jeopardized the game from an integrity standpoint.” Tomlin was standing at the Pittsburgh 35, as is his custom, when the Steelers kicked off after a touchdown that drew them within six points of the Ravens. As the ball settled into Jones’ hands, Tomlin turned his attention to one of the videoboards at M&T Stadium to get a better perspective of the play as it unfolded. He stepped onto a strip of turf painted white that is meant to serve as a barrier between the field of play and the sideline. Jones raced through a hole and down the Steelers sideline while Pittsburgh’s Cortez Allen gave chase. Tomlin didn’t move even as Jones closed in — mostly, he said, because he was “mesmerized” by what was happening on the screen. “I saw myself come into the Jumbotron, it’s a frightening experience,” Tomlin said. Tomlin was not flagged on the play, and he pointed out after the game that standing in the white area was commonplace for coaches even if it was technically against the rules. He didn’t use that as an excuse while communicating with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league officials Monday. Tomlin said he had no plans to fight whatever disciplinary action the league decides to hand out.
QB Mariota to return to Oregon EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Quarterback Marcus Mariota has announced that he will return to Oregon for his junior season. There had been speculation that Mariota might declare himself eligible for the NFL. Following Oregon’s 36-35 victory over Oregon State in the Civil War last Friday, he said he hadn’t yet made a decision. But on Tuesday the school announced on its website that Mariota would stay, along with junior Hroniss Grasu, a three-year starter at center. “It is an honor to be a student at the University of Oregon and to have the opportunity to represent our institution on the football field alongside my teammates,” Mariota said in a statement. “I look forward to earning my degree next year and to the rest of my career at this great University.”

Sweat equity So this is what sweat equity looks like — a black, fiendish-looking car fit for, well, Batman. The man behind the design for the Caped Crusader’s ride in the movie “Batman Returns” is Carl Casper of Louisville. Casper, a car designer extraordinaire, was in Auburn over the weekend to take part in a special charity fundraiser at the National Military History Center to benefit northeastern Indiana military veterans and their families. Casper won his first nationwide car show in 1961 with a Chevy he’d purchased for $300. This year, he was offered $1 million for that same car, but turned it down, saying the car wasn’t for sale. Known for his artistic MATT genius and attention to detail, Casper also is GETTS involved in designing dragsters and restoring antique carriages. A good sampling of his work can be found at the National Military History Center. Casper was so successful at car shows that he retired from them. He eventually retired from competing in restoration shows for carriages, too. The top national honor for carriage restoration carries his name. A man who worked for a decade in Hollywood? A man who can turn down $1 million for a car? A man considered a genius in his field? You wouldn’t know it from talking to him. He’s as down-to-earth as anyone you’re likely to meet. Brag on himself or his accomplishments? It’s not his style. “I really like to let my work do the talking,” Casper said. His style, obviously is all class. And while downplaying his own genius, Casper will talk about what he refers as the sweat equity that has gone into his career. Casper said he has gone for days without eating or sleeping while working on a project. That’s what sweat equity is, folks, and it may be the most important thing our kids aren’t learning today. Sweat equity is not relying on a great idea to somehow materialize, it’s following through on that idea, no matter how long it takes. Sweat equity, or the lack thereof, may be the difference between the dreamers and those who get things done. Sweat equity is falling and never failing to get back up. Sweat equity is doing it right. Not the fastest way. Not the least expensive way. But doing it right, each and every time. That’s what Casper has built his career around — sweat equity. He said he got his work ethic from his upbringing. He lied about his age to get his first job delivering newspapers in Flint, Mich. He spent part of his life on a farm, which meant delivering papers, then doing farm chores, then going to school. By the time he was 17, he held down three jobs, working on the assembly line for General Motors, at an auto body shop and for an upholstery firm. Working hard became a way of life. But as Casper tells it, he hasn’t worked a day in his life because he has enjoyed what he’s doing. That’s the key, he said, to make your passion your vocation. Throw in some genius and sweat equity, and you have a life well-lived. As his appearance in Auburn attests, Casper is big on charitable work, as well. The church charity he is affiliated with at home in Kentucky served approximately 108,000 meals over the Thanksgiving holiday. His heart is as big as his talent. And he works at both with vigor. A self-made man, well-made. That’s what sweat equity produces.

• the most toys wins” — seems to become a cultural mantra as we abandon any pretense of human purpose beyond consumption. Despite the seeming inevitability of these trends, many Americans wish it weren’t so. A recent HuffPost/YouGov poll found bipartisan aversion to stores opening on Thanksgiving — 65 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of independents say stores should be closed. Yet as Forbes points out, stores wouldn’t open if there were no demand. When the National Retail Federation asked consumers why they want to shop early, most said it was to spread out their gift budgets or to take advantage of deals too good to pass up. Virtue is in the details, I suppose. According to Accenture’s annual shopping survey, 38 percent of respondents planned to visit four or more stores on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, and more than one-third said they’ll shop before midnight Thursday. (Editor’s note: Did you shop on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday? Answer the poll at kpcnews.com.) One more tradition reduced
to its commercial value and a few dollars saved at the expense of humility and gratitude seems a price too high for the procurement of more stuff. In the scheme of things, this sense of loss is perhaps undeserving of lamentations, but bowing to commercial greed, especially on our national day of thanks, seems a crime against one of our best founding inventions. If stores erect a sale, they will come. But stores don’t have to. Here’s a revolutionary concept: Instead, why not demonstrate gratitude for our nation by urging its people to spend time with their families, surely the most valuable insurance for a stable future. Profits may take a short holiday, but the reward of living in a culture that values human connection and appreciates, in Washington’s words from the proclamation, “the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed” — is beyond measure.

Cyber Monday delivers again
Vatican says local bishops responsible for children’s safety VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican on Tuesday dodged a series of questions posed by a U.N. committee about clerical sexual abuse by noting that the Holy See doesn’t control the actions of every Catholic in the world, much less regulate every Catholic priest, parish or school. Rather, the Vatican asserted that local bishops are ultimately responsible for keeping children safe from pedophile priests, and that schools and workhouses where abuse occurred in Ireland and elsewhere are subject to local civil laws and regulations, not Vatican jurisdiction. The Vatican’s position was laid out in a response to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child about its implementation of the 1989 U.N. Convention of the Rights of the Child, the main U.N. treaty guaranteeing a full range of human rights for children. The Holy See ratified the convention in 1990 and submitted a first implementation report in 1994. But it didn’t provide progress reports for nearly a decade, and only submitted one last year after coming under renewed pressure following the 2010 explosion of child sex abuse cases in Europe and beyond. The U.N. committee posed a series of questions about the 2012 progress report and will grill the Vatican delegation in person at a committee hearing in Geneva on Jan. 16.
OJ taking case to Nevada high court LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson’s lawyers said Tuesday they will take his case back to the Nevada Supreme Court, hoping justices will overturn a lower court judge’s decision last week denying the former football star a new trial in his armed robbery case. A notice mailed Monday to the state high court gives Simpson’s new legal team until Jan. 13 to file documents supporting their claim that Simpson didn’t receive a fair trial and challenging the recent ruling by Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell, Simpson appeals attorney Patricia Palm said. “We remain convinced there were errors,” Palm said. Bell’s ruling means Simpson, 66, isn’t eligible for parole until he’s at least 70. Palm and attorneys Ozzie Fumo and Tom Pitaro failed to convince Bell that Simpson received ineffective representation from lawyer Yale Galanter, who headed Simpson’s 2008 trial team and his initial appeal.
People • Billy Joel plans shows at Garden NEW YORK (AP) — Billy Joel will perform once a month at Madison Square Garden — as long as the fans will have him. The Grammy Award-winning icon announced Tuesday that he’ll perform a residency at the famed NYC venue every month for as long as New Yorkers Joel demand. He’s set to perform sold-out shows on Jan. 27, Feb. 3, March 21 and April 28. He will also perform on his 65th birthday, which is May 9. Tickets go on sale Saturday. “We’re gonna dust off some stuff. We’re gonna feature more of the album tracks, more obscure songs. We’ll still do some songs people are familiar with and like, but we’re gonna change it up. It gives you an edge,” he said in an interview after the press conference.

Metro North Railroad engineer William Rockefeller is wheeled on a stretcher away from the area where the commuter
train he was operating derailed in the Bronx borough of New York Sunday.
Engineer nodded off just before train derailment YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) — The engineer whose speeding commuter train ran off the rails along a curve, killing four people, nodded at the controls just before the wreck, and by the time he caught himself it was too late, a union official said Tuesday. William Rockefeller “basically nodded,” said Anthony Bottalico, leader of the rail employees union, relating what he said the engineer told him. “He had the equivalent of what we all have when we drive a car. That is, you sometimes have a momentary nod or whatever that might be. How long that lasts, I can’t answer that.” Rockefeller’s lawyer did not return calls. During a late-afternoon news conference, federal investigators said they were still talking to Rockefeller, and they would not comment on his
level of alertness around the time of the Sunday morning wreck in the Bronx. Separately, however, two law enforcement officials said the engineer told police at the scene that his mind was wandering before he realized the train was in trouble, and by then it was too late to do anything about it. One of the officials said Rockefeller described himself as being “in a daze” before the wreck. The officials, who were briefed on the engineer’s comments, weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Questions about Rockefeller’s role mounted rapidly after investigators disclosed on Monday that the Metro-North Railroad train jumped the tracks after going into a curve at 82 mph, or nearly three times
the 30 mph speed limit. In addition to the four people killed, dozens were hurt. “He caught himself, but he caught himself too late. … He powered down, he put the train in emergency, but that was six seconds prior to derailment,” Bottalico said. Rockefeller, who was operating the train from the front car, was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released. National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener repeated that it was too soon to say whether the accident was caused by human error. But he said investigators have found no problems so far with the brakes or signals. Alcohol tests on the train’s crew members were negative, and investigators were still awaiting the results of drug tests, the NTSB official said.
Vet detained in North Korea led feared guerrillas SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Six decades before he went to North Korea as a curious tourist, Merrill Newman supervised a group of South Korean guerrillas during the Korean War who were perhaps the most hated and feared fighters in the North, former members of the group say. Some of those guerrillas, interviewed this week by The Associated Press, remember Newman as a handsome, thin American lieutenant who got them rice, clothes and weapons during the later stages of the 1950-53 war, but largely left the fighting to them. North Korea apparently remembered him, too. The 85-year-old war veteran has been detained in Pyongyang since being forced off a plane set to leave the country Oct. 26 after a 10-day trip. He appeared this weekend on North Korean state TV apologizing for alleged wartime crimes in what was widely seen as a coerced statement. “Why did he go to North Korea?” asked Park Boo Seo, a former member of the Kuwol partisan unit, which is still loathed in Pyongyang and glorified in Seoul for the damage it inflicted on the North during the war. “The North Koreans still gnash their teeth at the Kuwol unit.” Park and several other former guerrillas said they recognized Newman from his past visits to Seoul in 2003 and 2010 — when they ate raw fish and drank soju, Korean liquor — and from the TV footage, which was also broadcast in South Korea. Newman was scheduled to visit South Korea
Fulgoni said in a statement Tuesday. “While it’s true that many retailers are bleeding their Cyber Monday promotions into the weekend before and the days afterward, Cyber Monday itself continues to be the most important day of the online holiday shopping season.” However, he did say that early promotions had some consumers buying more items earlier in the weekend, suggesting that Cyber Monday could have even been stronger were it not for the emergence of this trend. Consumer electronics and video game consoles and accessories were among the biggest sellers of the day. Home and garden products, clothing and accessories, as well as sports and fitness products also performed well. ComScore tracks U.S. online sales based on observed behavior of a representative U.S. consumer panel of 1 million Web users. One big online shopping trend so far this year is shoppers researching and buying on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, said Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru. “There was an enormous lift in the number of people who use mobile devices, and it’s been trending that way for the last couple of weeks,” she said. Forrester forecasts $78.7 billion in U.S. online sales this holiday season, a 15 percent increase over 2012. Meanwhile, IBM Benchmark reported on Tuesday that Cyber Monday sales rose 20.6 percent. IBM Benchmark takes sales results from over 500 online retailers and analyzes the data to estimate total online spending.
NEW YORK (AP) — Cyber Monday is still on top. Retailers from Walmart Stores to Amazon started rolling out “Cyber” deals at the beginning of November, and kept them going on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. That led some to wonder if earlier sales would put a dent in Cyber Monday sales. The date has been the biggest online shopping day of the year since 2010. But shoppers delivered. In fact, shoppers bought online at the heaviest rate ever Monday, according to research firm comScore Inc., which tracks online sales. The group said Tuesday e-commerce spending rose 18 percent from last year’s Cyber Monday to $1.74 billion, making Monday the top online spending day since comScore began tracking the data in 2001. The figure does not include purchases from mobile devices. “I always wait for the deals on Cyber Monday,” said Stephanie Appiah, 25, a student who picked up a Google Chromecast video streamer with free shipping on Monday. “It’s better than Black Friday because you don’t have to deal with other people.” The strong online performance was in contrast to overall spending. Over the four days beginning on Thanksgiving, spending fell an estimated 2.9 percent to $57.4 billion, according to the trade group the National Retail Federation. Overall, the NRF expects holiday spending to rise 2.9 percent to $602.1 billion. “Any notion that Cyber Monday is declining in importance appears to be completely unfounded,” comScore Chairman Gian

to meet former Kuwol fighters following his North Korea trip. Park said about 30 elderly former guerrillas, some carrying bouquets of flowers, waited in vain for several hours for him at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, on Oct. 27 before news of his detention was released. Newman has yet to tell his side of the story, aside from the televised statement, and his family hasn’t responded to requests for comment on his wartime activities. Jeffrey Newman has previously said that his father, an avid traveler and retired finance executive from California, had always wanted to return to the country where he fought during the Korean War.

AUBURN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Purdue Extension has partnered with the EXCEL program at area elementary schools to provide education enrichment opportunities for children. EXCEL, an after school program funded by the 21st Century Grant program and the DeKalb YMCA, operates at each of the four elementary schools in the DeKalb Central School District. This fall, Extension provided four programs to each of the schools participating in the EXCEL program based on the new USDA MyPlate Guidelines. Nearly 138 children learned about the five major food groups, healthy and
sometimes snacks and how to measure serving sizes. This coming spring, Purdue Extension will offer a four-lesson series of hands-on science experiments on the physical properties of milk. The series is based on a 4-H project developed by Ohio State University Extension to teach children about milk. Purdue Extension seeks to reach about 300 children throughout the county with this program. Elementary teachers, Sunday school teachers, or other coordinators of youth oriented programs, should contact the Purdue Extension Office in DeKalb County at 925-2562 to

Woman needs to cut losses in relationship DEAR ABBY: I have been with my fiance since 2006. We expected to be married in 2008, but my grandmother died a month before my wedding, and then he was arrested because of charges stemming from a sexual relationship he’d had with a 17-year-old girl he had been counseling. Since then, we have had a daughter, but through it all there has been cheating, drugs, jail, no job, and constant excuses about why our sex life no longer exists. We have also had physical altercations, which he was arrested for. I am no longer happy with this relationship. The only reason I stay is because of our children. I’m only 33 and don’t want to live my life in misery anymore, but I will sacrifice my happiness for my children. I am confused and don’t know what to do. I’m just going

You’ve probably noticed the puffiness and dark circles when you first get up in the morning. That’s because when you are lying down, gravity is not pulling fluid in your tissues and blood in your veins downward into the cheeks below your eyes. There’s some folk and spa wisdom about how to get rid of bags, puffiness and dark circles: wet, cool tea bags; cotton balls dipped in rose water; and, of course, the iconic cucumber slices. Many of my patients find that under-eye creams and ointments help reduce the puffiness on awakening. Finally, there’s always cosmetic surgery if these treatments are not helping you enough. In some cases there may be an underlying cause you can treat. Nasal congestion is an example, as it causes veins around the eyes to dilate. Treating the cause of the congestion (an allergy,

Almanac •
DEAR DOCTOR K: Why do I have bags, puffiness and dark circles around my eyes? What can I do about it? DEAR READER: My Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Robert Shmerling wrote about this a couple of years ago in the Harvard Health Letter newsletter. Here’s some of what he said: Gently pinch the skin under your eyes and give it a little tug. You’ll feel that it’s a little looser and thinner than skin elsewhere. It’s also looser and thinner than it used to be. As we age, some of the fat under the skin of the face disappears. The fat under the skin beneath our eyes that we’re born with is like wind filling a sail. As the fat disappears, the skin under the eyes becomes like a sail without wind to fill it out. In addition, gravity when we’re sitting or standing (which is true
B7
perhaps) can make the dark circles go away. If your eyes have gotten noticeably puffier and the puffiness doesn’t go away, see a doctor. Puffy eyes can be a sign that you’re retaining fluid, which can be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Also talk to your doctor if your eyes got puffy after you started a new medication or facial cosmetic, or ate a new food. You may be having an allergic reaction. This column now is more than two years old. I am very grateful to my colleague Urmila Parlikar for finding information for me, to my colleagues at Harvard Medical School who give me advice, and for my excellent editors, Alan McDermott and Shena Wolf. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
