WHITLEY COUNTY — Two
Whitley County residents were

According to a press release by
the Indiana State Police, at about
2:15 p.m. a pickup truck driven by
Lanaya C. Collier, 43, of Columbia
City, was traveling southbound on
County Road 800 East, approaching the intersection at Lincolnway.

According to the report, Collier
allegedly pulled into the intersection and struck a westbound car
driven by Marilyn J. Fry, 85, of Columbia City.
Collier was ejected from her
truck and died at the scene.
Both Fry and her passenger, Roger Fry, 84, were wearing seatbelts
and had to be extricated from their
vehicle.
Roger Fry was transported by
medical helicopter to a Fort Wayne
hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Marilyn Fry was transported by
ambulance to a Fort Wayne hospital. Her condition is unknown.
The crash remains under investigation.
4-car pileup Thursday
COLUMBIA CITY — Icy conditions caused multiple crashes in
northern Whitley County Thursday
morning, including a traffic fatality
due to a four-car pileup.
The pileup was reported on Ind.
9 near County Road 500 North. According to police scanner traffic,
two patients had to be extricated
from their vehicles.
A medical helicopter was called
to the scene; however, according
to Whitley County Coroner Randy
Dellinger, the patient was pro-
nounced dead before the helicopter
arrived. The identity of the victim
was not released by press time.
There were multiple crashes and
slide-offs reported in the county,
including another crash in the 3500
block of North Ind. 9 and a property-damage crash in West Lincolnway between County Roads 550
and 650 West.
Whitley County Consolidated
Schools and Smith-Green Community Schools were closed and
delayed Thursday due to the icy
conditions.
Three cheers for the Lady ’Cats

COLUMBIA CITY — A
Columbia City man was
found dead Wednesday
evening after he was reported missing to police.
Mike Goble, of North
Walnut Street in Columbia
City, was reported missing after his wife hadn’t
seen him for a day, Whitley
County Coroner Randy Dellinger said.
Dellinger said police
went to Goble’s storage
facility, located between
South Whitley Street and
South Main Street in Columbia City, at about 5 p.m.
and found him dead.
His cause of death has not
yet been determined; however, Dellinger said he was
“leaning toward” a medical
cause.
The coroner said he did
not see any initial evidence
that led him to believe there
was foul play involved.
It is not clear how long
Goble had been deceased
before he was found. He
had not been seen since 5:30

County highway keeps busy during mild winter
By NICK RUPERT
The Post & Mail
COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley
County Highway Department Director Michael Barton told commissioners and council members
this week that the department has
been finding other ways to keep
busy during a mild winter.
He said the workers have been
improving berms on Lincolnway
near Columbia City, as well as fixing potholes on gravel and milled
roads throughout the county. The
department can also get an early
start on stockpiling gravel for
spring projects.
However, with much of the winter staying above freezing, Barton
said their daily to-do list is much
shorter.
“It’s not a good time of year for
us,” he said. “We know what we
are supposed to be doing, which
is plowing snow. When you can’t
plow snow, there are only so many
things you can do.”
The Whitley County Highway
Department was put to work
Thursday morning, laying salt and
material on slick roads after freezing rain made traveling in Northern Whitley County difficult.
However, so far this winter has
been mild compared to years past
— but even the threat of winter’s
wrath has limited the department’s
work this winter.
Barton said doing gravel work
to repair county roads has its risks.
He said if stone is used to improve
a road and a snow event follows,
snow plows can unintentionally
push the gravel into the ditch.
“You have to be careful when
you do it,” Barton said. “But we
still do it because it’s better than
hitting a pot hole.”
This winter, the highway department has closely monitored roads
for ice as standing water freezes
overnight. Crews will check intersections and apply a salt/sand
mixture to melt ice and provide
better traction.
A common misconception, according to Barton, is that mild winters equal savings and, ultimately,
more completed projects during
the summer.
“We have a lot of people always
calling in when we don’t have
much of a winter thinking we have
made this great savings and that
means we can do so much more
during the summer,” Barton said.
“But that’s just not true at all.”

The highway department purchases 80 percent of the amount
of salt it believes it will need each
winter ahead of time. Therefore, a
mild winter simply means a bigger
stockpile of salt when spring rolls
in.
“So there’s not much money
saved because we are buying 80
percent of what we need anyway,”
Barton explained.
The department does save
money by paying less overtime
to workers, running trucks and
equipment less, and purchasing

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — State police say two troopers were hurt when a semitrailer ran into the rear of their
stopped squad car on Interstate 69 near Evansville.
Sgt. Todd Ringle says the troopers suffered minor injuries
from the crash about 9 a.m. Wednesday and were treated
and released from an Evansville hospital.
Ringle says the troopers were inside their car with its
emergency lights on, diverting traffic from a previous crash
when the semi ran into the back of the cruiser, turned onto
its side and hit another car. The semi’s load of soybeans was
spilled across the southbound lanes of the highway about 10
miles north of Evansville.
Ringle says the drivers of the other vehicles weren’t injured. The semi driver was ticketed for failing to yield to a
stationary emergency vehicle.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana lawmakers passed
similar, competing bills Wednesday aimed at giving
pharmacists the ability to prevent methamphetamine
cooks from buying pseudoephedrine, a common ingredient in the illegal drug.
In the Senate, Republican Randy Head’s proposal to
allow pharmacists to turn down suspicious customers
who attempted to buy the medicine passed 41-8.
“This bill is necessary and this bill can work,” said
Head, from Logansport. “People give up their jobs
they give up their families and they give up their children as slaves to methamphetamine.”
The House passed a measure 92-7 that would allow
pharmacists to ask for a prescription if they suspected
a customer was going to make meth.
That bill was scaled back from Rep. Ben Smaltz’s
original plan to make pseudoephedrine available by
prescription only. The Auburn Republican changed it
amid pressure that it wouldn’t get a hearing, given
that prescription-only bills have failed several times
in the Legislature due to negative lobbying from
pharmaceutical manufacturers. Opponents have also
argued the prescription would be an inconvenience to
people who are looking to treat a cold.
Smaltz received a standing ovation Wednesday after the bill passed, and several House members called
it a much needed compromise.
“We’ve landed in a really good spot,” Smaltz said.
“We don’t want to impact that hard-working regular
Hoosier that’s just sick and we want to hammer the
meth cook.”
Next, the chambers will swap bills and could decide to combine the two measures; Smaltz said he and
Head have sent each other the bills and may decide
to incorporate some parts from each into their initiatives.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence isn’t saying
whether he would have signed

Pence declined to say Wednesday what he would do if the bill

“I just wouldn’t care to answer a

Senate approves
bill that would
create child
abuse registry
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Senate has passed
a bill that would create a public registry of people convicted of child abuse or neglect.
The bill that would create a list similar to online sexoffender registries was passed by the Senate on Wednesday on a 49-0 vote. The bill was inspired by the death of
19-month-old Kirk Coleman who died of a brain injury in
2014 while being cared for by a baby-sitter who had previously pleaded guilty to child neglect. She is awaiting trial
on a charge of felony battery resulting in death.
State Sen. Carlin Yoder authored the bill. The Republican from Middlebury calls it one more tool for parents to
help assure the safety of their children.
The bill now goes to the House.
Indiana school
district grades
change little
with reprieve
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — More than three-quarters of
Indiana's school districts are receiving A or B grades under the state's rating system.
The State Board of Education voted Wednesday to approve the ratings that are little changed from a year earlier. That's because of a one-year reprieve from lower
grades following discord over big drops in student scores
on the ISTEP standardized exam.
The new ratings give A grades to 46 percent of the
state's 289 school districts and B grades to 33 percent of
districts. Nineteen percent of districts received C grades
and 3 percent got D grades.
The Gary Community Schools in northwestern Indiana
received the only F grade.
Legislators last month approved a change to state law
under which districts could receive higher grades than
last year, but not lower ratings.
Senate approves roads
improvement funding bill
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Senate has endorsed a proposal backed by Republican Gov. Mike Pence
that aims to boost highway funding by drawing down the
state's cash reserves and borrowing money.
Senators voted unanimously Wednesday to advance the
bill to the House, even though Democrats questioned its lack
of additional money for local projects.
The Senate plan would help implement Pence's proposal
to increase highway funding by $1 billion over the next four
years. The Senate measure has received support from some
conservative groups and Pence because it wouldn't raise taxes. House Republicans have pushed what they call a longterm road funding plan that would increase the cigarette tax
by $1 per-pack and the 18-cent gasoline tax by 4 cents. It also
includes a 5 percent income tax reduction over eight years.

is a major purchase that is
made before the department
knows how much is actually needed.
“There are ways to save,
but there are areas where
we are not going to save because we are contracted to
buy the salt,” Barton said.
A stockpile of salt can
have an effect on how much
salt the department predicts
it will need the following
winter.
Barton said if the county
normally contracts for 500
tons, having salt reserves
from a mild winter may allow them to contract for 450
tons for the next year.
Then, Barton said, he
doesn’t have to buy as much
next spring. He contracts

He also said how much
salt is needed is more or less

Air horns galore!
This is a short story about three boys. One of them (my husband,
Jeff) is arguably past middle age, but you’d never know by his
behavior. The other two, Drew and Evan, are in eighth grade and
fourth grade, respectively.
The story started when Evan, my 11 year old, needed a gift for
his hockey team gift exchange this last December. It had to be something a boy would like, and it was supposed to be under $10. I
immediately thought “Legos” and purchased a small set of Nano
blocks. I brought it home, presented it to Evan and his father, and
was promptly and enthusiastically ridiculed for my purchase,
which led to a store return and a renewed vow to stay “hands off”
with all testosterone-laden affairs. It only leads to heartbreak, I’ve
found. I’ve also found that it leads to lots of returned purchases and
the strong desire for
mid-day alcohol.
Fortunately, in
the hockey gift
exchange instance,
Evan had an ally
in his father, who
(although he wears
Deanna Arnold
suits daily to work)
has never really
solidly shifted into the adult arena. So they went shopping at
Menard’s, because Jeff had an “awesome” idea. I tried to stay out
of it, thinking that a tool belt or a socket wrench or a garage broom
really probably didn’t fit the bill for the gift exchange, but who
was I to judge?
Let me tell you what they found. They found air horns. Not the
toy air horns with the cute little “wah-wah.” No, not for my boys.
They came back with the large, obnoxious, eardrum rupturing
“Bbbbbbbbb-rrrrruppp!!!!” air horns that make you pee your pants
just a little while you dump the contents of your coffee cup down
the front of your shirt.
First off, they were the hit of the gift exchange, much to my chagrin. Even Parker, our token girl goalie, was fighting for the right
to take that can of compressed headache home. All I heard in the
chatter and loud laughter was: “AN AIR HORN!!” or: “I got the
AIR HORN!!!” or: “I’m going to draw a number and steal the AIR
HORN away!!” Over and over and over. The kids loved us. Some
of the dads loved us (those suffering from arrested development),
but all of the moms glared in our direction. I tried to keep my head
down, and even gestured toward Jeff’s beaming face, as if to say, “I
feel you. I wouldn’t want one in MY house, either,” but the women
mistakenly thought that I had some influence, or impact, upon the
gift exchange purchase. I felt the need to explain how, if it had been
up to me, Evan would have shown up with an unloved Lego set
that would have been assembled, then stepped on, then sucked up
in a Dyson the next week. We could have all gone home happy, with
our hearing intact. But I’m clearly not in charge when it comes to
sports and boys. I’m in the backseat, getting carsick.
So, anyway… The air horn was purchased, fought over by all of
the hockey players, then taken home by some lucky son of a gun,
whose smart mother probably threw it into a dumpster while her
kid was at school. I thought the air horn debacle was all over. But
no. Because I am married to a big, adult child, we purchased not
one, but five air horns. “Why?” you might ask. I don’t have an answer for you, but the next evening, when Evan went to search for
the home stash of air horns, he couldn’t find them. This was a catastrophe, and I (who had no idea extra air horns were purchased) was
accused to disposing of them. (They do know me so well.)
Then Jeff got involved in the search. Evan and Jeff combed the
house. Drew did homework. Evan tore his room apart. Jeff tore
the garage and the basement apart. Drew did more homework. Jeff
and Evan went through the pantry, the bookcase, the office cabinets
and the laundry room. No air horns. Evan gnashed his teeth. Jeff
lamented aloud. Drew came downstairs for a snack and then continued doing homework. Jeff and Evan returned to Menard’s, only
to find that the store was completely out of air horns, due to an recent, unforeseen, onslaught by prepubescent boys in orange hockey
jerseys. They returned home, sadder and not even a bit wiser. Drew
did more homework. All five air horns had vanished, seemingly,
into thin air.
Until a month later, when I was cleaning off Drew’s bookcase,
and I popped open a drawer to put away some Christmas knickknacks. And there it was. One shining, glorious, splendiferous
air horn, tucked away in Drew’s drawer where things are usually
stashed, are put, forgotten, and never seen again.
After some pointed questioning by his incredulous father, Drew
claims he was oblivious to the all-out, frantic air horn search that
took place all over our home. He did inform us that he came into
some money, though, from the sale of some illicit air horns, in the
Bantam hockey locker room after one of his tournament games last
week. (Do tell.)
When Jeff expressed his frustration at Drew confiscating he and
Evan’s latest amusement, Drew explained, in his own defense, that
he had made some cash by peddling the air horns to his teammates
for $10 apiece. Drew happily reported to his father that he had
made $50, funded (no doubt) by unsuspecting parents like, well,
me. Not Jeff, of course, who would have wholeheartedly supported
buying ear-splitting contraband, and would have inquired as to
where he could purchase more. Never mind that the air horns sold
by Menard’s were $9.95 to begin with. Drew could not be bothered with calculating an appropriate mark up. That would have
involved yucky stuff like, for instance, math.
I will say, however, that all is not lost when it comes to the air
horn fiasco of 2015. I have found that an air horn is practical in that
you can, for example, blast a teenager out of bed in the morning.
You can blast your youngest son completely off the couch, ear buds,
iPad, and all, when you ask him to feed the dogs and he “can’t hear
you.” Air horns are great for the hearing challenged among us.
You can also air horn your husband quickly and completely out
of your way in the kitchen, and while this is very funny, I wouldn’t
recommend repeating this particular exercise at home. I did use
it, however, to illustrate that there is, perhaps, a reason that normal adults don’t purchase these items for home use. And after Jeff
changed his pants, he confided that he did understand. He didn’t
promise he wouldn’t buy any more air horns, but I will say that his
enthusiasm has waned slightly.
My work here is done, apparently. Tune in next year, when the
Arnold family arrives at the hockey gift exchange with Legos. Or
an air assault rifle. Who knows?
Deanna Davis Arnold is a Whitley County native. She is the wife of
Jeff Arnold, local attorney, and the mother of three boys, Adam, Drew
and Evan.

Musings
Crackin’ up
Dear Reader, when I graduated from
college I wasn’t one of those young
people who had everything. I did not
have a TV or VCR. (It’s a wonder I was
able to even live, I know.) What I did
have was a 1967 gold and red Chinese
couch from my uncle, as well as a garage sale vacuum sweeper. I also had
garage sale plates. They were 1970’s
olive green and with it being 1993, my
goal, by the end of teaching that year,
was to purchase myself new plates.
The goal was accomplished and I
purchased sets of country blue and
pink Corelle dishes. Anyone who lived
through the country blue 1990s knows
exactly of what I speak.
And those country blue Corelle
plates made it through marriage, the
first child, the second child and two
moves. In fact, the first child was 10
years old in 2010 and we were still using our country blue plates. Now mind
you, I’m not complaining, I’m just setting up the story.
After substitute teaching for several
years, I finally felt confident in asking
Chad Jagger if I might purchase new
plates to match our kitchen. Many
people I know raved about Pfaltzgraff
plates, so I thought I might as well be
trendy and wait for that style of plate
to go on sale. I received the green light
from my husband and purchased the
new plates. They were stylish. They
matched our kitchen. I was pleased.
Chad Jagger was not.
“These are so heavy,” he complained.
“They take up too much space in the
cupboard. Look how much space they
take up in the dishwasher.” My attempts to remind him of the plates’
stylish beauty comforted him in no
way. I even reminded him that many
people we know eat off of Pfaltzgraff
plates on a daily basis and they seemed
to love them . . . but Chad Jagger did
not!
And so, the Plate War began.
The
The Great Five Year Plate War
This ‘n’
That
Amy J. Jagger
Any time he could, he would take a
crack at the plates . . . which got much
easier when, less than six months after I purchased them, a crack began to
form in one of the plates . . . and a bowl
. . . and then in over half of our plates.
He felt vindicated. I called the company to check into the replacement
policy. In a nice way they said they
basically didn’t care that my plates
cracked and they would be glad to sell
me new plates for almost full price.
No, thank you.
Plates continued to crack. One actually broke. Chad Jagger was smugger.
I was incredulous.
Then, in what was really was one
of the greatest casualties of the war, I
warmed up some water in a mug and
badly burned my fingers. The handle
had cracked in multiple places. I started with 12 mugs. By the time I got
down to four mugs, I stopped using
them.
Chad continued to take a jab anytime he could. The war was entering
its fifth year and we threw away two
more broken plates.
We had almost made it to 2016 but
we were just a few days away which
obviously means the year was still 2015
— a year where everything in life literally shattered. We sat down for Sunday lunch and right there, on the table,
while I was eating off of it, my plate
cracked in two.
Words cannot describe how Chad
Jagger smirked, gloated – and basically
honked me off.
(
A4 Thursday, February 4, 2016
The year 2015 had completely worn
me down so I looked over at Chad Jagger and waved the white flag.“OK,
let’s buy new plates,” I conceded. “I’ll
shop on line after the Colts game.”
Well, evidently, after the Colts game
was not soon enough for Chad Jagger.
While I was cheering on my football
team and trying to do everything in
my power to help Coach Pagano keep
his job, Chad Jagger sat on the couch
with his laptop checking out every
plate-selling-website known to mankind. Just envision that: The woman
was watching football and the man
was shopping for plates — we are such
a typical American couple!
At halftime, I looked at what he’d
found. He wasn’t touching anything
Pfaltzgraff with a 10-foot pole. He
wanted lightweight, shatter-proof, and
crack-proof. We were headed back to
Corelle plates. In his defense he did
pick out the design that came the closest to matching our kitchen colors (although they were not nearly as pretty
as my old plates).
He gained my approval and made
the order.
The first night we ate off of our new
“Chad-approved” plates he sighed,
“Doesn’t this meal taste sooooo good?
Isn’t this the best meal we’ve eaten in
a L-O-N-G time? I’m just sure it’s the
plates!”
So, Chad Jagger won the Plate War
and I’m OK with that because, with all
funnin’ aside, it’s the three people I eat
my meals with and not the plates that
are important!
Amy J. Jagger is a Whitley County wife
and mother who gave her country blue
Corelle plates to her mother five years
ago. They totally match her Mom’s kitchen. Yes, now both Ellen and Chad Jagger
are thrilled. Chad Jagger plans to use the
cracked Pfaltzgraff plates for target practice.
Today in History
Reprint only with express consent of B. Lang
Today is Thursday, Feb. 4, the 35th day of 2016.
There are 331 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 4, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet
leader Josef Stalin began a wartime conference at
Yalta.
On this date:
In 1783, Britain’s King George III proclaimed a
formal cessation of hostilities in the American Revolutionary War.
In 1789, electors chose George Washington to be
the first president of the United States.
In 1962, a rare conjunction of the sun, the moon,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn occurred.
Today’s Birthdays: Rock musician John Steel (The
Animals) is 75. Singer Florence LaRue (The Fifth Dimension) is 74. Former Vice President Dan Quayle
is 69. Rock singer Alice Cooper is 68. Actor Michael
Beck is 67. Actress Lisa Eichhorn is 64. Football Hallof-Famer Lawrence Taylor is 57. Actress Pamelyn
Ferdin is 57. Rock singer Tim Booth is 56. Rock musician Henry Bogdan is 55. Country singer Clint Black
is 54. Rock musician Noodles (The Offspring) is 53.
Country musician Dave Buchanan (Yankee Grey) is
50. Actress Gabrielle Anwar is 46.
It is a puzzlement: Kings and the ‘would-be-kings’
“When I was a boy, world was better
spot,
What was so was so, what was not was
not,
Is a puzzlement.”
— King Mongkut, “The King and I”
For King Mongkut, it is a changing
world, a conflict between the old traditions and the new places of men and
women that puzzles him to the point
of death.
I wish my questions were as easy to
solve as Mongkut’s.
I have questions that seemingly have
no answers, questions that I have asked
those knowledgeable in the fields covered by these conundrums, but still
they go unanswered.
Some of these puzzlements are of a
linguistic nature, involving a word or
phrase.
If “ir” is used as a prefix its accepted
meaning is “not.” The question is why
do the words “irregardless” and “regardless” mean the same thing?
That is most definitely a puzzlement.
Most of us have a basic understanding of the word “nonchalant,” with
James Bond being the epitome of cool,
collected, calm nonchalance. Why then
is there no “chalance?” Why don’t we
label the boorish, ill-mannered lout at
the party as being chalant?
It surely is a puzzlement.
What about the word “egregious?”
If one looks it up in the dictionary the
first definition tells us that it means
something shockingly bad, but the
second definition tells us that it means
something remarkably good. Is it too
much to ask a word to make up its
mind?
That is certainly a puzzlement.
Rhymes with Orange
Markin’
Time
Mark Parker
In my work I attend numerous sporting events every week. At most of these
events a rather large group of bright,
smiling cheerleaders does its best to
encourage the crowd to be spirited in
its support of the team.
I noticed that at the end of every
cheer several of the girls are most enthusiastically waving at the crowd.
I have turned and looked, but I have
yet to see anyone waving back. I have
asked people in the stands if they are
the ones to whom the cheerleaders are
waving, and they look at me as if I have
a third eye growing out of the middle
of my forehead.
I have even asked cheerleaders to
whom they are waving, and they also
begin looking for that third eye also.
I know that some of the readers by
now are thinking, “If Mark Parker’s
greatest puzzlements and concerns are
about the confusing meanings of a few
words and what high school cheerleaders are doing, then he must have it a
lot easier than King Mongkut, and for
that matter, almost everyone else on
the planet!”
Let me explain that there is something else that is a puzzlement. At the
present time we have a slate of political
candidates seeking the highest office in
the land who remain a complete mystery to me.
Returns on Friday!
We have a candidate at the head of a
national political party who makes unsubstantiated and unsupported statements, and when those statements are
challenged, resorts to personal insults.
This candidate doesn’t provide any
details, expecting the American public
to believe his statements just because
he says so. One would think that the
public would dismiss a candidate who
would be in “time out” in any elementary school in the country for unacceptable behavior. But that hasn’t happened, and that certainly is a serious
puzzlement.
I have heard some people voice support for this candidate, saying “He
speaks his mind.” But then hasn’t every despot from Adolph Hitler to Kim
Jung Il spoken their mind? It doesn’t
take above-average intelligence to
speak one’s mind, as I am sure some
will be more than happy to remind me.
Shouldn’t the content of both the
mind and comments be of greater importance than simply providing grandiose, unsupported sound bites?
The American public and the country deserve better – and it truly is a
puzzlement, why the public hasn’t demanded it.
To paraphrase Michael Douglas in
“The American President,” “We’ve got
serious problems. This is a time for serious people, Donald, and your fifteen
minutes are up… At least until you get
serious and start providing details instead of insults.”

OSU, Mich. classes show most star power in Big Ten
(AP) — The competition between
Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh
never ends.
Meyer signed the class rated best
in the Big Ten on Wednesday, just
ahead of Michigan’s. Harbaugh,
however, landed the best player in
the country.
Meyer’s Buckeyes brought in 25
players, including 17 four-star prospects and five-star defensive end
Nick Bosa. Harbaugh’s Wolverines
signed 28, including 14 four-stars
and the nation’s consensus No. 1
player in defensive tackle Rashan
Gary from Paramus Catholic High
School in New Jersey.
Penn State’s James Franklin and
Nebraska’s Mike Riley showed off
Lady Stars
take big
win over
Garrett
their recruiting chops by assembling top-25 classes nationally.
As expected, Ohio State and
Michigan brought in the biggest
bounties of talent.
Meyer put the finishing touches
on a class that’s No. 3 nationally
when 6-foot-8, 300-pound offensive
tackle Malcolm Pridgeon decided to
sign with the Buckeyes.
Harbaugh didn’t disappoint
with his first full class. His quirky
antics on the recruiting trail played
well on social media, and the glitzy
“Signing of the Stars” production
on Wednesday commanded national attention. By day’s end, the consensus of analysts was that the Wolverines were No. 5 in the country.
Some things to know about Big
Ten recruiting:
STRONGEST CLASS: Ohio
State. Headlining the class is Bosa,
a top-five national prospect who
committed to the Buckeyes in July
and then had a monster season to
help lead St. Thomas Aquinas High
in Fort Lauderdale to a Florida state
championship. No surprise he’s a
Buckeye. He’s the brother of NFLbound Ohio State star Joey Bosa.
ROSE MO MUST WAIT: Iowa’s
first appearance in the Rose Bowl
since 1991 generated minimal recruiting momentum. That’s because
the class was mostly assembled before the 2015 season even kicked off.
Kirk Ferentz and his staff eschew
the star system and look for players
they can develop. After loading up
on linemen the last cycle, the Hawkeyes went for more skill, speed
and athleticism. Best of the bunch
is Nate Stanley, a 6-4, 207-pound
quarterback from Menomonie, Wisconsin, who has been committed to
Iowa since November 2014.
COOK’S REPLACEMENT? Tyler O’Connor and Damion Terry
combined to beat Ohio State last
season, but with the prolific Connor
Cook gone, Michigan State fans are
feeling a lot better with the signing
of QB Messiah deWeaver. The fourstar prospect from Huber Heights,
Ohio, fits well into the pro-style system, and he also can hurt opponents

LIONS ROAR, BUT QUIETLY:

Churubusco guard Stacia Fester tries to split the Eastside defense during the Lady
Eagles’ 44-30 sectional loss Wednesday evening at South Adams.
C.J. Miles scores 27;
Pacers beat Nets
NEW YORK (AP) — Once the Indiana Pacers starting pushing the tempo in the second
quarter, the Brooklyn Nets ended up in a hole
that was just too deep.
C.J. Miles had 27 points, Paul George scored
17, and the Indiana Pacers sent the Nets to their
fifth straight loss, 114-100 on Wednesday night.
“I got some open 3s, I got to the basket,”
Miles said. “I was able to play off of what the
defense was giving me. I felt like I just had a
good rhythm tonight.”
George Hill added 13 for the Pacers. Brook
Lopez had 21 points and Joe Johnson had 20
points and nine assists for the Nets.
Indiana opened the game on a 17-9 run.
Brooklyn then missed its first eight shots to
start second quarter. Indiana outscored the
Nets 36-20 in the second and went up 62-43 at
the half.
In the third quarter, Joe Johnson and Thaddeus Young combined for 21 points to help
Brooklyn trim the deficit to 87-77 at the end of
the third.
Indiana’s bench outscored Brooklyn’s by 42
points in the victory.
“They brought great energy,” Pacers coach
Frank Vogel said. “Solomon Hill with his energy, C.J. with his scoring, Joe Young made some
big buckets, Lavoy Allen had a strong performance. They were a big part of the victory.”
With Rodney Stuckey and Ian Mahinmi
due back from injury, George believes Indiana
should be considered a contender in the East.
“If C.J. gets hot like he was in November, I
get hot like I was in November, Monta (Ellis)
continues to play well, Myles (Turner) steps
up and continues to play at a high level like
he’s doing, we get Ian back from injury, we
get Stuckey back from injury, this team can be
pretty scary,” George said.
Pacers: Coach Frank Vogel praised the play
of rookie Myles Turner who is averaging 17.5
points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game
over his past eight games. “I don’t know if I’d
call it a big surprise,” Vogel said. “We have
great belief in this young man. If there’s a surprise, it’s how quickly it’s coming to him, maybe. When we selected him in the draft this year,
we had very high hopes.” ... Vogel also praised
the return of Paul George after missing most
of last season with a broken leg. “It’s a miracle
he’s on a basketball court.” ... Rodney Stuckey
(ankle) did not dress.
Nets: Thaddeus Young posted his 22nd
double-double, which is a new single-season
career-high for him. ... Coach Tony Brown said
a return for Chris McCullough could happen
in the near future. “Chris will definitely be
available after the All-Star break,” Brown said.
“There’s a possibility he could get maybe get
some minutes before the break. But again, I
don’t want this whole Chris McCullough thing
to get so big that everybody wants to see him
play. I’m not going to play him until I feel comfortable with him on the floor and I don’t want
to embarrass him.” ... McCullough (knee),
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) and Jarrett
Jack (knee surgery) did not dress.
BERNE — Churubusco’s
Lady Eagle basketball team
was outscored by 20 points
in the second and third
quarters combined, and despite a late rally fell to Eastside’s Lady Blazers 44-30 in
Wednesday evening’s IHSAA sectional game at South
Adams.
Both
teams
played
through a sluggish first
quarter that saw the Lady
Eagles hit on 3-of-8 shots including a three-point basket
by Stacia Fester that put the
Eagles up 8-5 at the end of
the first quarter.
Eastside took over in the
second quarter, finding
sophomore forward Lindsey
Beard in the corner for two
three-pointers. Beard had
nine of Eastside’s 13 second
quarter points.
On the defensive end of
the floor the Blazers threw
up a two-three zone that
plagued the Lady Eagles for
the rest of the game. Unable
to get inside, Churubusco
was forced to the outside
shot, which did not fall for
the Lady Eagles.
Eastside outscored Churubusco 13-4 in the second
quarter to take an 18-12 lead
at halftime.
The third quarter was
more of the same for the
Churubusco offense, which
went 1-for-10 from the field,
and 2-of-4 from the line for

Eastside’s Beard went on

knocking down three shots

by Fester and Jazlyn Needler

LAST MATCH: “We had two champs, three runners-up and
three fourth-place finishers,” said Coach Culp of the Eagles’ efforts
at last Saturday’s Carroll sectional. “One of those was a surprise in
first-year wrestler Jesus Gil, who placed fourth and gets to move
on to regionals. I think he will have a decent draw to get out.”
THIS MATCH: “Hunter (Langeloh) and Cross (Dietrich) set

themselves up well.” said Culp. “By winning their weight classes
they will be matched up against fourth-place finishers in the first
round of regionals. Hopefully we can get good draws for our three runners-up (Hunter

matches.”

Hoosiers have two
quarterbacks ready
to replace Sudfeld
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — With record-setting Nate Sudfeld graduating, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson needed to find a
quarterback who could play right away and
another he could groom one for the future.
He got both in this year’s 21-player recruiting class.
Wilson signed one of the top junior college players, Richard Lagow, in December
and got Patrick Ramsey, an incoming freshman from Cincinnati Elder, on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-6, 240-pound Lagow has a
strong arm and can be an evasive runner
and will be the front-runner to replace Sudfeld. If Lagow lives up to the hype, the Hoosiers should continue their steady ascent.
That should give them enough time to help
Ramsey figure out what it takes to become
a Big Ten starter.
The Hoosiers also signed Jayme Thompson, a 6-foot-2 junior college safety who
started his career at Ohio State, and running
back Kiante Enis, a late add who could play
multiple positions. Enis rushed for 7,014
yards and 98 TDs in high school and is the
nephew of former college star and NFL
player Curtis Enis.
Indiana signed four offensive linemen,
all of whom weigh at least 270 pounds, and
five defensive backs. And the Hoosiers improved their versatility by bringing in three
players tabbed as athletes.
Other things to know:
Best in class: Richard Lagow, QB, Plano,
Texas. Over the past two seasons, he threw
for 4,496 yards and 38 touchdowns with 17
interceptions. He has two years of eligibility left.
Best of the rest: Jonah Morris, athlete,
Akron Ohio. In high school, Morris played
receiver and safety and at 6-4, 190 pounds
could play either position at Indiana. The
Hoosiers must decide where he fits best.
Late addition: Shaun Bonner, TE, Moultrie, Georgia. At 6-3, 250, Bonner is expected
to start out as primarily a blocking tight
end, with the potential to become an offensive lineman.
One that got away: Jovan Swann, DT,
Greenwood, Indiana. The Hoosiers only
had two in-state players, and they didn’t
get Swann, who picked Stanford.
How they’ll fit in: Lagow and Thompson
should make immediate impacts. But much
of this class was recruited to build toward
the future.
Notre Dame signs seven DBs
to try to shore up secondary
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)
— Notre Dame, hurt repeatedly this past season by big
plays, tried to shore up its
secondary by signing seven
defensive backs among the 24
recruits added to the roster on
Wednesday.
The Irish lose starting cornerback KeiVarae Russell and
starting safety Elijah Shumate
and return starting safety
Max Redfield, who struggled
at times last season and was
sent home from the Fiesta
Bowl for violating team rules.
Things got so bad in the secondary late in the season that
receiver Torii Hunter Jr. took
some snaps at nickel back.
Coach Brian Kelly explained
the move at the time by saying, “We couldn’t trade for a
nickel.”
The highest-rated defensive
backs to sign were cornerback
Troy Pride Jr. and safety Donte
Vaughn. The Irish also signed
three linebackers to help fill
the void left by the losses of
Joe Schmidt and Jaylon Smith,
and three receivers to help replace Will Fuller, Chris Brown
and Amir Carlisle.
Top 25 Class: Yes
Best in class: Offensive
tackle Tommy Kraemer,
6-foot-5, 310-pounds, from
Cincinnati. He was the first
player in the recruiting class
to commit to Notre Dame
and ranked among the top 50
players nationally by several
recruiting services.
Best of the rest: WR Javon
McKinley of Corona, California, OT Liam Eichenberg
of Cleveland and LB Daelin
Hayes of Belleville, Michigan,
who initially committed to
USC.
Late addition: LB Jonathan Jones of Ocoee, Florida,
picked the Irish over Michigan.
One that got away: For the
first time in seven recruiting
cycles under Kelly, the Irish
didn’t have a player decommit. LB Ben Davis picked
Alabama over Notre Dame,
Auburn and Georgia on
Wednesday.
How they’ll fit in: The seven defensive backs will have a
chance to compete for playing
time as will 6-4, 245-pound
defensive end Khalid Kareem, who could provide the
Irish with a much-needed
pass rush.
Kraemer, Eichenberg and
Parker Boudreaux likely
won’t have an immediate impact on the offensive line, but
give the Irish line a solid foundation for the future.
Churubusco’s Mariah Nondorf puts up a shot against Eastside in the Lady Eagles’ sectional loss.
’Busco,
from B1
to struggle. Things we have been struggling with all year,
showed up tonight.”
Eastside’s Beard led all scorers with 28 points. Needler
was the only Eagle in double figures with 11. Shelby Brockman pulled down six rebounds for the Eagles with Alyssa
Anderson adding five boards.
Churubusco finishes its season with an 8-15 record.
Moore has
career night
in Butler’s
place as Bulls
beat Kings
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — With leading scorer Jimmy Butler
on the bench nursing a
sore left knee, E’Twaun
Moore figured he’d get
plenty of chances to pick
up the slack for Chicago.
Not only did Moore
fill the scoring void created by Butler’s absence,
he continued to make
his case to become a permanent part of the Bulls’
starting lineup — something a few of his highprofile teammates such
as Butler and Derrick
Rose have already been
calling for.
Moore scored a career-high 24 points
while starting in place
of Butler, and Chicago
overcame a sloppy finish to beat the Sacramento Kings 107-102 on
Wednesday night.
“I knew our team
needed a spark,” said
Moore, who shot 9 of 16
from the floor. “It was
so important to start the
game off well and get
us going in the right direction. I did that and it
helped out a lot.”
Pau Gasol added 16
points, 13 rebounds and
made two free throws
with 4.3 seconds remaining to help the Bulls to
their first win in Sacramento in more than four
years. Rose had 21 points
and nine assists, and Taj
Gibson scored 12.
The Bulls led 101-92
with 2:40 left but struggled to close out the
Kings. Chicago committed two turnovers and
made only one basket
down the stretch before
pulling out the win at
the free throw line.
No. 17 Miami takes care
of Notre Dame, 79-70
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Anthony
Lawrence Jr.’s breakout game for Miami
caught Notre Dame off guard.
It probably caught the Hurricanes a bit by
surprise as well.
The freshman — who had a total of six
points in the last six weeks and was a bit of
an afterthought in the Hurricanes’ rotation
— needed only six shot attempts to score a
season-high 18 points off the bench, and No.
17 Miami beat Notre Dame 79-70 on Wednesday night for its ninth consecutive home win.
“Often times when you go to the bench you
have a drop off,” Miami coach Jim Larranaga
said. “We don’t.”
Angel Rodriguez, Ja’Quan Newton and
Sheldon McClellan had 12 points apiece for
the Hurricanes (17-4, 6-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). Miami shot 63 percent in the first
half and finished at 56 percent for the game.
Bonzie Colson scored 17 points for Notre
Dame (15-7, 6-4). V.J. Beachem had 14 points
and Zach Auguste had all 12 of his in the second half for the Fighting Irish.
“Their maturity, they’ve got men,” Notre
Dame coach Mike Brey said. “And they’re
playing like it.”
Lawrence’s previous best was 13 points at
Nebraska on Dec. 1 and to say he was a nonfactor in ACC games this season would be an
understatement. In seven league-game appearances before Wednesday, Lawrence was
1 for 8 from the field for a total of four points
in 39 minutes.
But in this one, he was 5 for 6 from the field,
including 4 for 4 from 3-point range.
“He really hurt us,” Brey said. “It’s one of
those things, you say maybe you can live with
him getting some looks and you worry about
the other guys. Then he jumps up and really
hurts you. It’s great when you’re a young guy
playing with men, the older guys.”
Boilermakers add building blocks Losing in the Super Bowl
along its offensive, defensive lines haunts some NFL players
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
(AP) — Purdue coach Darrell
Hazell always was up front
about where the Boilermakers
needed to improve.
He wanted a better foundation along the offensive and
defensive lines.
So on Wednesday, the Boilermakers went heavy on finding
some more building blocks in
this year’s 23-player recruiting
class.
The makeover actually began in December when Hazell
signed two prominent junior
college defensive linemen,
Austin Larkin, the nephew of
baseball Hall-of-Famer Barry
Larkin, and Lorenzo Neal, the
son of the four-time Pro Bowl
fullback of the same name.
Both are expected to play right
away.
Purdue added three more
defensive linemen and three
offensive linemen on Wednes-
day, moves Hazell believes will
finally get the struggling Boilermakers headed in the right
direction.
They signed five defensive
backs, including cornerback
Josh Hayes from Indianapolis. Hayes joins receiver Jackson Anthrop, whose two older
brothers were Purdue athletes,
as the only in-state recruits this
year.
Hazell also signed quarterback Jared Sparks of Louisiana after Austin Appleby announced he was transferring.
Best in class: Terrance Landers, WR, Dayton, Ohio. The
6-foor-4 receiver could give
the offense a new dimension in
2016, and if he does the Boilers
will finally have a solid nucleus of skill position players.
Best of the rest: Simeon Smiley, DB, Pensacola, Florida. The
transition to college is easier
for freshmen to make at safety
than cornerback and at 6-foot,
195 pounds, Smiley has the
build to make an impact.
Late addition: Rob Simmons, DE, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The 6-6, 216-pounder
waited until the final week to
pick Purdue and now will have
to wait to find out if the Boilermakers want him to change
positions.
One that got away: Dylan
Powell, OL, Hannibal, Missouri. Powell announced three
weeks ago he was looking for
other options and wound up
choosing Stanford.
How they’ll fit in: The Boilermakers are losing both starting cornerbacks and may need
some of those young DBs on the
field in 2016. Larkin and Neal
won’t be the only junior college
players vying for playing time.
Jalen Neal, a 6-8, 315-pound offensive lineman, could, too.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The pain
of losing a Super Bowl never really disappears. It drives players who have experienced it to get back and get it right.
Ricky Proehl has been to four Super
Bowls as a player, going 2-2. He won
and lost with the Rams, lost with the
Panthers, and got the second ring in
his final NFL season, 2006 with Indianapolis.
He’s at the big game again as Carolina’s wide receivers coach, buoyed
by memories of earning those rings,
haunted by remembrances of the two
failures.
“Anger, disbelief, shock,” Proehl
said Wednesday of his reactions to
walking off the field a Super Bowl
loser.
“And then they rush you off like it’s
a cattle drive so they can set up a stage
for the winning team. You sometimes
don’t even get a chance to congratulate
the winners.
“It’s painful.”
Proehl has relayed those sentiments
to some Panthers, emphasizing just
how good the opposite feelings are.
“You are on top of the world, on top
of your profession,” said the former
receiver who played for six teams in a
17-year career, the first nine of which
he didn’t reach the postseason.
“You start out with a common goal
and you’re going with guys to attain a
dream, and then you are hoisting the
Lombardi Trophy. Everyone in this
league should be able to feel that feeling with their teammates.”
But only four players who will suit
up Sunday have had that joy, just one
current Bronco: Peyton Manning with
the Colts.
Carolina’s Michael Oher and Ed
Dickson earned rings with Baltimore,
Roman Harper with New Orleans.
And the guys who have fallen short,
including Manning, have used that letdown as motivation.
“We got beat by a hot team and a
better team that night,” he said of the
43-8 whipping Seattle put on Denver
two years ago. “It was disappointing.
It was a tough pill to swallow.”
Sports
Like Elway, Manning has chance
to wrap things up with a title
SANTA CLARA, Calif.
(AP) — The last time the
world saw John Elway in a
Broncos uniform, he was facing the stands, both hands
aloft, holding his helmet in
his left hand, and his right
hand clenched into a tight,
celebratory fist. He flashed
that toothy smile, knowing
that a few minutes later, he
would be cradling his second
Super Bowl trophy.
He went out on top. No
matter what happened after
that — and Elway has gone
on to accomplish plenty —
his last meaningful moments
on a football field had resulted in a victory in the biggest
game of all.
“It’s a very nice thing to
have,” Elway said this week,
“knowing you can always
look back and have a real
positive thought.”
Now, Elway runs the team
he used to play for. In 2012,
he signed Peyton Manning,
who, at 39, is even older than
Elway was when he played
his last game in 1999.
And now, it’s Manning
who could be taking that
same walk into the sunset as
Elway did. He has a chance to
win his second Super Bowl,
peel off his white Broncos
jersey and never come back.
By the accounts of both
men, the topic of Manning’s
retirement has not been
broached.
It’s hard to think those
conversations won’t pick
up steam over the next few
weeks.
Manning has already told
Patriots coach Bill Belichick,
in a not-so-private exchange
at midfield two weeks ago,
that this might be his last
rodeo. He has refused to expand on that, keeping with
the theme that he’s soaking
in every moment, and he’ll
worry about tomorrow when
tomorrow comes.
“We haven’t talked about
anything past Sunday,” said
Manning’s brother, Eli. “We
kept it on this week, the last
few weeks, but nothing past
the game.”
When the game is over,
Peyton will have an all-star
lineup from which to glean
advice. It includes Eli, of
course; their father, Archie,
who spent 14 years in the
NFL; their brother, Cooper, who has long been one
of Peyton’s best sounding
boards. And Elway. Chances
are, Manning will be seeking what Elway sought when
he went to his father, Jack, a
longtime scout and personnel man, after the second Super Bowl title.

Newton, Panthers stay true
to personality at Super Bowl

“El Bandolero” on Opening Night. Teammates photobombing each other at press conferences and teaching
Miss Universe how to “dab.”
Have no fear Ron Rivera, your team has kept its personality during Super Bowl week just as you preached
before setting foot on California soil.
“It looks like we’re having fun because we are having fun,” running back Jonathan Stewart said.
You don’t win 14 straight games to start the season
and reach the Super Bowl without talent, camaraderie and cohesiveness. The Panthers seem to have it all,
a group of starkly different personalities who have
bonded together to form a winning team.
Defensive end Jared Allen noticed it when he joined
the Panthers four weeks into the season after being
traded by the Chicago Bears, saying he walked into a
“brotherhood.” “There are a bunch of guys with their
own personalities and everyone has their quirks about
them, but it all works together,” Allen said.

Rubio looks to peg himself as a Republican for all
B4
LACONIA, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Marco
Rubio is using every bit of momentum his campaign received from the
Iowa caucuses to show New Hampshire voters that he — not his competition — is the Republican for all
Americans.
Rubio describes caucus winner
Ted Cruz as chronically "calculating"
and points to the failure of others to
pull in higher numbers as testament
The
to their inability to lead. He calls
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a
sore loser after Christie accused him
of being the "boy in the bubble" who
won't take questions.
Rubio's attacks on his opponents
come with one glaring exception:
billionaire Donald Trump, who
edged him for a second-place finish in Monday's caucuses. Rubio has
reasoned that Trump has unveiled
insufficient policy, and therefore,
hasn't given him reason enough to
criticize him, even though they disagree on several fundamental issues.
Instead, Rubio appears to be biding his time, quietly courting his rivals' potential voters. By doing so,
he's pursuing a course of consolidation.
"He needs to coalesce the vote before he can challenge Trump," said
Republican pollster Greg Strimple,
who is unaligned with any of the
campaigns. He said he has been impressed with what he calls the Rubio
team's "message and strategic discipline."
Rubio captured headlines with
his strong third-place finish in the
leadoff contest Monday, finishing
behind Cruz — the heavy favorite
among Iowa's disproportionately
influential evangelical conservatives
— and less than a percentage point
behind Trump, who had seesawed

Dem race shaken, stirred as
Sanders, Clinton meet in debate
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary
Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in a
tug-of-war over who’s the best standard-bearer for progressive values as
they road test lines of argument for the
first one-on-one debate of the Democratic campaign.
The race for the Democratic nomination, once seen as a sure thing for
Clinton, took on new vigor this week
after Sanders held the former secretary of state to a whisper-thin margin
of victory in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses.
The tone of their back-and-forth has
become increasingly sharp this week,
and the candidates agreed to add four
more debates to the primary season
schedule, including Thursday’s faceoff in Durham, New Hampshire.
In a tussle over their very political
identities, the two candidates are engaged in an ongoing argument over
who is more committed to — and capable of — carrying out a liberal agenda on health care, income inequality,
worker rights and more.
Sanders, favored in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary, said
Wednesday that Clinton’s record is
“just not progressive” on any number
of issues, including her vote as a senator to authorize the war in Iraq.
General says troop
cuts would leave too
few to train Afghans
WASHINGTON (AP) — The senior U.S. commander in
Afghanistan says if the American troop level is cut to 5,500
as President Barack Obama has proposed, there will be too
few left to train the still-fledgling Afghan security forces.
Army Gen. John F. Campbell’s assessment underscores the
risks of Obama’s longstanding goal of ending the war before
he leaves office in January 2017.
The president’s critics said leaving the Afghans without
enough American military trainers would imperil the gains
made since 2002, when the U.S. committed to rebuilding the
country. Nearly $64 billion has been allotted so far for building up the Afghan army and police.
“Fifty-five hundred militarily will not allow you to do
what you need to do,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Wednesday. “It puts the whole mission at risk.”
Seoul, Tokyo threaten
to intercept N. Korean
long-range rocket debris
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea and Japan
vowed to shoot down any debris that falls on their territories from a long-range rocket that North Korea plans to fire
this month, with Seoul saying Thursday that it has detected
launch preparations by Pyongyang.
North Korea has informed international organizations
that it will launch an observation satellite aboard a rocket
between Feb. 8 and 25. South Korea, the United States and
others say such a move would be a cover for a banned test of
a missile that could strike the U.S. mainland.
The launch announcement follows an outpouring of global condemnation over the North’s fourth nuclear test on Jan.
6. If North Korea’s past patterns are any clue, angry warnings by Seoul, Washington and their allies probably won’t
dissuade a coming launch.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry said Thursday that the
North is pushing ahead with the launch plans.
Clinton called that a “low blow” and
pressed her counterpoint that she’s the
candidate with the ability to actually
implement progressive changes.
“Good ideas on paper are important, but you’ve got to be able to translate them into action,” she said.
The two made their rival cases in
interviews and appearances around
New Hampshire and in back-to-back
appearances at a town-hall style forum on CNN on Wednesday night.
Polls find Sanders holding a commanding lead over Clinton in New
Hampshire, and he was eager to lower
expectations for how he would finish.

If Rubio tops Cruz in New Hampshire's primary on Tuesday and finishes ahead of candidates such as

a point he's been hammering for
weeks: He is the candidate to unite

Food industry
looks to Congress
as GMO labeling
law begins in July
WASHINGTON (AP) — The food industry is pressuring
Congress to act before the state of Vermont requires food labels
for genetically modified ingredients.
At issue is how food companies will deal with Vermont's
law. They could make separate food packages just for the state,
label all their items with genetically modified ingredients or
withdraw from the small Vermont market. The law kicks in by
July, but the companies have to start making those decisions
now.
The food industry wants Congress to pre-empt Vermont's
law and bar mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods
before it goes into effect. They argue that GMOs, or genetically
modified organisms, are safe and a patchwork of state laws
isn't practical. Labeling advocates have been fighting state-bystate to enact the labeling, with the eventual goal of a national
standard.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack brought the parties together twice this month to see if they could work out a compromise. But agreement won't be easy, as the industry staunchly opposes mandatory labels. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are
divided, too, but agree that a compromise needs to be worked
out before this summer.
A look at the debate as the food industry and Congress
wrestle with labeling of engineered foods:
What’s a GMO, anyway?
Genetically modified seeds are engineered in laboratories
to have certain traits, like resistance to herbicides. The majority of the country's corn and soybean crop is now genetically
modified, with much of that going to animal feed. Corn and
soybeans are also made into popular processed food ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup, corn starch and soybean oil.
The food industry says about 75 percent to 80 percent of
foods contain genetically modified ingredients.
While there is little scientific concern about the safety of
those GMOs on the market, advocates for labeling say not
enough is known about their risks.
Dug in
The food industry has been battling the labeling advocates
for several years, spending millions to fight ballot initiatives
and bills in state legislatures that would require labeling of genetically modified foods. They have also challenged Vermont's
law in court.
Industry-backed legislation that passed the House last year
would have blocked any such state laws. But that bill has
stalled in the Senate.
The Food and Drug Administration has said GMOs on the
market now are safe, and the federal government does not
support mandatory labels. But supporters of labeling counter
that consumers have a right to know what's in their foods, and
say Congress shouldn't be trying to pre-empt states.

looking at other women.
Twenty five years ago,
I was in the same situation. After seeing my
fiance make eye contact
with and smile at other
women numerous times,
I had enough. Up until
then, I had never said
a word about it, knowing that he would turn it
around and tell me I was
insecure.
One day we were in a
large supermarket aisle,
when, as I turned to
speak to him, I saw that
he was ogling a woman
in the checkout line. And
she was returning his
smile. I went up close
to him and whispered in
his ear, “If you EVER do
that again, I will yell as
loudly as I can that you
are impotent and unemployed, and that she can
have you if she wants.
(Part of that was true.)
He knew by the fire in
my eyes that I meant it
and the disrespectful
behavior ceased immediately.
Nonetheless, within
months I decided that
I didn’t need this loser
and broke our engagement. But that incident
is still a sweet memory.
— Empowered Myself
Dear Empowered: We
love it. Especially the
part where you broke off
the engagement. If this
man required a major
warning in order to treat
you with respect, he
wasn’t worth your time
and you figured it out
before you married him.
Good for you.

Dear Readers: Well,
it seems some of you
don’t flip-flop on wearing FLIP-FLOPS in the
shower while at home.
Some had safety concerns from their own
experiences.
Good
point, if you have a
medical condition that

might cause dizziness.
In general, these
types of flip-flops are used by a lot of
people at gyms, spas and athletic venues
to prevent picking up a nasty foot problem. You don’t want to catch athlete’s foot
from a public shower! Read on:
“Greetings, Heloise: I had to chuckle
after reading the letter from Peggy M.
in Woodway, Texas, about using rubber
flip-flops in the shower. As an ex-GI, serving in the Air Force from 1953-1957, all
GIs wore those while showering, but we
called them ‘shower clogs’! Who knew
they would become fashionable? Thanks,
Heloise. Just thought you’d like to know.”
— Hans G., Lebanon, Pa.
“Dear Heloise: Your safety hint (a
reader’s hint — Heloise) of flip-flops for
oldsters made me giggle. When I was
teaching, we knew spring had sprung
when the girls started wearing flip-flops.
One principal said they should be banned.
(They are, in some schools. — Heloise)
“If you have never seen girls fall up
steps, go to a high school on a spring day
when flip-flops are in bloom. The girls
would try to step up the steps and get
the toe of the flip-flop caught on the step
edge and go facedown up the stairs. Lots
of skinned knees and spilled books.” —
Roberta H., via email
“Dear Heloise: Flip-flops in the shower
are a bad idea, in my opinion. They
provide no support to the heel or ankle.
Someone could slip on the soapy, wet
surface of the flip-flop. I use a rubber
shower mat and grab bars in the shower for support.” — Valerie A. in San
Antonio
Readers, each to his or her own. What
works for one may not be good for another. And why are they called flip-flops? —

BAD-WEATHER BUS RIDE
Dear Heloise: When the weather is
bad, I take the bus to and from work. It
has saved me so many times. My neighbor
Jan suggested this when we had really bad
rain and I did not want to drive to work.
I checked the schedule and printed it out
for the next time.
My husband drove me to the stop, only
a few blocks away. I settled in with the
newspaper and my coffee. Thirty minutes
later, I got off, walked a block and was at
work. The ride home was not bad, either.
Saved gas and my nerves. — C.P., via text
THE EYEBROWS HAVE IT
Dear Heloise: The plastic knife from a
fast-food restaurant can find new life as
an eyebrow comb. I carefully “comb” my
eyebrows up, and I can see sparse areas
that may need a line of eyebrow pencil. —

Celebration of
literature opens
Black History Month
in Hoosier State
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Kim Smith
doesn't like public speaking.
"I don't," she said. "It's so scary."
But she's pretty good at it, judging by the
ovation Smith received from the crowd in
the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center's
Grant Hall after her speech titled "Slavery
Ended Over 200 Years Ago."
Smith, a junior at Bloomington High
School North, was one of about 200 area
high school students who attended Indiana
University's 14th annual African-American
Read In Monday to kick off Black History
Month.
Stephanie Power-Carter, director of the
center, said there was a similar event at the
high school in Georgia, where she taught
English, and she brought it to Bloomington
when she came to IU in 2002.
Power-Carter said the event celebrates
African-American literature and literacy by
bringing students together to read original
works as well as pieces from famous black
authors.
There was also a lunch and panel discussion about college life after the readings.
This was Smith's second time speaking at
the Read In.
She said her social studies teacher, Steve
Philbeck, told her about the event when she
was a sophomore.
Smith said she didn't plan to speak at last
year's event, but decided to take the microphone when it was opened up for people
from the audience.
"I like the open mic," she said. "You see
people gain confidence the second they get
to the mic."
That's how Philbeck described Smith's
public speaking style, saying once she gets
going, she seems to forget her fears and take
on the feelings of the characters she's talking
about.
"She's an incredible kid," he said. "She
went last for a reason."
Philbeck said any student can go to the
Read In as long as they sign up and fill out a
permission slip, but the number is limited to
80 kids. He said the event is a great cultural
experience for everyone who attends.
"A lot of kids get a chance to get a glimpse
of people in their real comfort zone," he said.
Groom jailed after allegedly
biting bride after wedding
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Police in central Indiana say
they arrested a groom after
he allegedly sunk his teeth
into his bride's arm during
a fight hours after their marriage.
The Star Press in Muncie
reports that officers arrested
22-year-old Dillon Jess Lane
after entering the couple's
apartment just before midnight Saturday on a domestic-disturbance call.
Police say the intoxicated
Lane was biting his wife's
arms as they entered. He
also was allegedly holding
his sister-in-law. Police say
both women were trying to
get away from Lane.
The officer said the wom-

in blood and broken furniture was strewn around
the room. The newspaper
reports the women suffered
abrasions and bruises.
Lane was arrested on preliminary charges, including
domestic battery. A name of
a lawyer for Lane wasn't immediately available.
