Pugmill plans getting
closer to reality for county
PLYMOUTH— Saturday
night Marshall County held
its own version of Dancing
With The Stars to help support the Marshall County
Neighborhood
Center
(MCNC). In its 7th year, the
annual event organized by
Karen Barden, has been a
great success every year.
This year the event reached
new levels by selling out for
the first time ever and raising a tremendous amount in
excess of $100,000 to benefit
the MCNC!
“It has always been her
dream to raise over $100,000
in one night’s event and this
year she did it!” proclaimed a
proud Chad Barden, MCNC
President and Karen’s husband.
“Thank you to my amazing
committee, all the volunteers
and to our wonderful community for helping make this
night such a success!” said an
emotional Karen Barden.
Guests began the night
with hors d’oeuvres, dinner
and pictures with professional photographer, Jayme
Goetz.

The 7th annual Marshall County Dancing With the Stars
was held Saturday evening at Swan Lake Resort. The
team that took first place was the duo of Anna Keitzman
and Kevin Guy who performed an American Tango to
Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. Kietzman, a Plymouth
native, recently joined the Dancing With the Stars committee and used the opportunity to perform at the event as
a way to encourage others to participate and help raise
funds to benefit the Marshall County Neighborhood Center.
Guy, a dance instructor at DanceSport and deejay, choreographed their performance.

This is what the Kolberg pugmill looks like the Marshall County Highway Department plans
to purchase.
By Diona EskEw
Managing Editor
MARSHALL COUNTY — The purchase of
a pugmill for the Marshall County Highway
Department raised some questions from the
Marshall County Council Monday morning.
Jason Peters, of the Highway Department,
presented the Council with the pugmill purchase plans.
“The unit is in Missouri right now,” Peters
began. “A little bit on its background, somebody bought it to make their own recycled
material. And what he was trying to do with
different materials just did not work. That
is why the unit has 150 hours on it and was
put back on the market. They are asking
$285,000 for it.”
A new unit runs about $375,000. The unit
that the department is looking at comes with
no warranty.
“What I would like to do is go down and
inspect the unit,” said Peters. “Before we
spend that kind of money on it.”
The unit is self contained meaning it has
its own generator. That

it needs no
payments.
The unit is
current and
it would not
be a problem to get parts if repairs were
needed in the future.
“The track record with Kolberg is pretty
good. A lot of adjacent counties have that
unit and they are 35 - 40 years old and they
are still using them. That’s kind of the way
that I look at it too with the investment that
is a 35-40 year investment,” said Peters.
The department will also need to purchase a conveyor to go with the unit. It will
cost an additional $23,000. The convenience
of having the unit on site will allow the
department to use it when needed instead
of waiting for someone to bring materials or
having to go get the materials. The unit will
also save the county money by not having
to send employees to get materials, wait for
materials and the ability to mix materials
at the department there is the possibility of
more savings.
Last year the department used pug to
work Elm Road just north of Bremen. The
road has held up well according to Peters,
who plans to chip and seal the road this
spring.
Marshall County Commissioner, Kevin
Overmyer, spoke on behalf of the commissioners.
“The Commissioners are in support of
this. As you know the commissioners are in
charge of the roads. We did receive that $1.4
million Sept. 1 of last year for the relinquishing of U.S. 31. We have two more payments
of $1.4 million over this September and next
September,” said Overmyer.
Judy Stone, council member, asked if there
was enough funds to cover the purchase.

Carl Deffenbaugh, WSBT Channel 22 sports caster, paid Washington Discovery Academy
(WDA) students a visit Friday afternoon to read to them and talk about his job as a sports
reporter. WDA students were the lucky winners of the “I Love To Read Challenge” sponsored by WSBT 22 and the St. Joseph County Public Library Friday.

PLYMOUTH— As soon as Washington
Discovery Academy (WDA) students found
out they were entered in WSBT Channel 22’s
I Love To Read Challenge they were beyond
excited. Kindergarten teacher, Kendall
Hoover explained how excited WDA student, Mia Lowry, was last Thursday after
school. She stood outside yelling at parents

The 7th annual Dancing With the Stars fundraiser was held Saturday night at Swan Lake Resort. The fundraiser, organized by Karen Barden, raised over $100,000 with this event, which directly benefits the Marshall County Neighborhood
Center. Guests purchased votes for their favorite teams, as well as participated in a live auction, purchased tickets for a
chance to win a 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette donated by Bud Duerr and had the opportunity to provide a “Hand-UP”
donation for the center’s scholarship program. All of the funds raised directly benefit the Marshall County Neighborhood
Center and its programs.

about the history of the MCNC and its importance to the
community. Hill explained that the community food and
clothing pantries at the center continue to serve over 400
families each month, so there is always a huge need for
nonperishable food items, clothing and monetary donations.
The LifePlex Dance Academy Junior Ballroom Elite dancers began the dancing portion of the night. The group has
been performing together since 2011 and range in age from
seven to twenty years old.
Next, thirteen different “Celebrity and Pro” acts entertained the 486 guests present at the fundraiser. Voting began
online prior to the event and continued though the completion of the last performance.
This year’s winners with 562 votes were Anna Kietzman
and Kevin Guy who performed an American Tango to
Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. Kietzman is a 1996
Plymouth High School graduate, who returned to Plymouth
in 2011 with her husband, Russ, who is employed with
Edward Jones. She recently joined the “Dancing With the
Stars” committee and used the opportunity to compete to
encourage others to participate and donate to a wonderful
cause. Guy has enjoyed dancing since 1997 and has been
teaching dance since 2007. He is currently teaching parttime at DanceSport.
Second place went to Conrad Schubert and Mewsette
Cartwright who gave a dramatic performance to the song,
Black Widow by Iggy Azalea. Cartwright, who has been
dancing for 20 years and is the director of the Lifeplex Dance
Academy, choreographed the performance for Schubert,

who has no prior dance experience.
Third place was awarded to the Edward Jones Guys who
performed in full costume to the theme from Ghostbusters
by Ray Parker, complete with two little Slimers and the Stay
Puft Marshmallow Man. The team was made up of Curt
Nielson, Russell Kietzman, Craig Wilson and Dan Schmelter,
all financial advisors for Edward Jones.
Fourth place was won by Robyn Wireman and partner
William Hargraves IV. The couple performed a salsa fusion
dance routine to Booty by Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea.
Wireman, a lifelong Marshall County resident, who loves
dancing was paired with Hargraves, who has very little
dance experience, just two short weeks before the competition. Even with the last minute changes, the couple were
able to pull off a great performance and placed in the competition.
In addition to watching the dancers, the audience took
part in a live auction with auctioneer Dave Goebel of
ReMax. Items auctioned included Notre Dame sports packages, three separate vacation packages, a Taste of Marshall
County package, and services such as lawn care, spring
cleaning, massage and a fitness package as well as several
others.
While purchasing votes for their favorite dance teams,
guests had the opportunity to purchase a chance to win
the 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette generously donated by
Bud Duerr. Toward the end of the evening, a shocked Steve
VanVoorheis was announced as the lucky winner of the
Corvette.

PLYMOUTH – The Board of Public Works and Safety met
Feb. 9 for a short and productive meeting.
After approving the minutes, Donnie Davidson, utility superintendent, reported that the odor control unit he’d
requested for South 6th Street had been functional for 10
days. Results at controlling the unpleasant odors from the
lines had been successful. The microbes being used to consume the odor causing agents take two to three weeks to
properly do their job.
Davidson also requested permission to take quotes on a
compact excavator, a request that was approved.
Fire Chief Rob Miller reported that his hiring search for
a new fireman was completed. Kimberly Ursa from Culver
was the chosen candidate after Miller was satisfied with her
interview and interest in employment.
Chief of Police Dave Bacon approached the board to request
the ability to solicit quotes for two new SUVs to replace old
squad cars. The money had already been approved last year
for this year’s budget. Bacon stated he has an approximation
for how much the two new vehicles will cost based on estimates from the vehicles he replaced in 2014.
Mayor Mark Senter brought up a request from the Pretty
Lake Conservancy District.
Clerk Treasurer Jeanine Xaver explained that the original
individual caring for the bills of the district had turned the
responsibility over to another person. The city sent out a letter detailing bills owed that had not been paid.
The original caretaker appeared at government offices
with questions concerning what was due to be paid. As was
revealed by City Attorney Sean Surrisi, the replacement
had not appeared to give current information concerning
payment. By the time the individual had been successfully
contacted to pay what was owed, a penalty had been issues
that amounted to 10 percent of the fee owed.
Both the original caretaker and new caretaker requested
the penalty be waived. However, the board decided to deny
the request. The fee owed was $1,284.81, and the penalty at
$128.46.
Michael Iqbal, owner of the Clark station in town. Came
to give an update that all work for repairs on the building
had been paid for. Unfortunately, due to condensation, the
contractor to finish the windows had to postpone their work.
Iqbal informed the board that the work would be completed
as soon as the contractor was able to do so.
Keith Hammand, the building commissioner, stated that
he wanted to see the work finished before the end of April
and the last Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, April
27.
The board also brought up the recent Technical Review
Committee (TRC) that occurred last week that discussed the
new Loves Travel Stop to be built at Pioneer Road and U.S.
Route 30.
Common Council member Mike Delp requested information on what will be done to Pioneer Road, since Gary Drive
will be widened and improved upon. He wanted to address
a potential problem that the city may have to act on by being
proactive and anticipatory.

Washington Discovery Academy students were the big winners of the day Friday in the “I Love To Read Challenge”
sponsored by WSBT Channel 22 and the St. Joseph County Public Library. They were thrilled to have WSBT 22 weekend sportscaster, Carl Deffenbaugh, visits with them Friday afternoon. Deffenbaugh read them a story and chatted with

The purpose of the commission was created to declare
the old Salvation Army building a historic district, named
officially as the Beyler-Volpert Historic District.
Ordinance 2015-2085 dealt strictly with establishing the
building as historic, with it now being 50 years old to
qualify for that distinction.
The commission recommended the ordinance and the
council approved both the second and third readings,
approving the designation.
Dave Lattimer, airport manager at the Plymouth Airport,
gave a short report on the projects, activities, and an update.
Lattimer stated that aside from hangar B, which is being
marketed as a commercial space, all other hangars and offices are occupied. Two businesses operate at the airport, Sky
Sports, a skydiving company and Ken Keller’s Helicopter
Training and Ground School.
The airport is proceeding with its proposed project to
widen the runway from 65 to 75 feet, per the requirements
of many insurance companies. Lattimer enlightened the
council that some insurance companies choose not to insure
pilots if runways are less than 75 feet in the case of an accident.
In their five year capital projects plan, Lattimer stated the
next step will be lengthening the runway, per the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The
runway must be a minimum of 5,000 feet, with the current
runway at 4,400 usable blacktop.
“We’re not looking for bigger aircraft,” stated Lattimer.
“Planes will not be insured if they land somewhere less than
5,000 feet.”
County, continued from front
Overmyer explained it was there it would
just need to be appropriated to that line
item.
The Council expressed their support for
the purchase, however, first they want Peters
to investigate the condition of the unit. Then
they will approve the funds to purchase the
unit, if it checks out well.
In other action:
• “I am just asking for a waiver for the 10
percent pay reduction for an employee that
transferred from the Sheriff’s Department,”
said Laurie Baker of the Highway
Department.
The Marshall County Commissioners
approved a waiver of the 90 day probationary period on Jan 19. The employee worked
with the Sheriff Department since 2009.
The Council unanimously approved to
waive the 90 10 percent pay reduction period.
• Marshall County Clerk Deb VanDeMark
requested a waiver of a 90 day probationary
period for a 10 year county employee to fill
an opening in the Clerk’s office. The council
unanimously approved.
• The Council also unanimously approved
the job description for the Chief Deputy
Coroner. The position was already listed
under the salary ordinance; the job description itself just needed to be added. The
position description had previously been
approved by the Personnel Committee.
• “I probably need to apologize because
I was under the erroneous impression that
we needed to ask the council’s permission,”
said Chipman. “She (Sally Skodinski) is
zeroing in on a one week course on prosecuting drug cases put on by the National
District Attorney’s Association in Charlotte
North Carolina.”
Skodinski was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from Indiana Prosecuting Attorney
Council (IPAC). The total cost of the training session will be around $2,000. There is
enough funds in the training fund to cover
the cost of the training session.
“This is in the interest of transparency
that we wanted to do this but I guess we

Brian Williams has
done himself and his
industry serious harm
I remember the lightning flashing around the commercial
flight I was on more than two decades ago. The jetliner, on
its way from Denver to Indianapolis, rocked from the turbulence, before
landing
in
Peoria, Illinois,
to sit out a
storm that was
By BoB ZaltsBerg
growing more
dangerous
Herald-times
and which the
pilot told us
he couldn’t fly
around.
The trip was harrowing enough without adding anything
else to the experience.
So was yours, Brian Williams. It had to be alarming —
much more so than my civilian and domestic incident —
landing in an Iraqi desert to avoid a sandstorm, especially
on the heels of other helicopters that had been fired upon.
Good for you to hustle over to the soldiers whose helicopter
had been shot at and hit by rocket-propelled grenades and
small arms fire to talk to them about what happened on that
day in 2003.
But it’s hard to believe that for five years you remembered
the story accurately, before adding an important but false
detail that the aircraft you were on had been shot and damaged by RPGs.
That’s not something the anchor of the NBC Nightly News
can or should recover from easily. Journalism’s currency is
credibility, and your professional portfolio went from highvalue to bankrupt last week.
Stars and Stripes published the news that your latest telling of the story didn’t stand up. A lot of people remembered
more clearly than you what happened that day in the desert.
They recalled that three helicopters came under fire, with
one being hit by two rockets and small arms fire. You were
not on any of them, but arrived in the area with a traveling
NBC News team about an hour after the first three aircraft
had made an emergency landing. The impending sandstorm, not being shot, prompted your emergency landing.
An unfortunate part of this is that journalists who cover
wars put themselves in harm’s way and deserve respect for
bringing the reality of war to readers and viewers. War correspondents provide a real service in telling the stories of the
men and women in the military, as well as the other people
they encounter in a war zone.
Your faulty memory denigrates what they do — even what
you’ve previously done through your honest reporting.
Surely you know the profession you’re in already is mistrusted by way too many people. The Pew Research Center
has been hearing that from people it has been surveying for
years.
In 2002, 71 percent of those polled by Pew gave positive
rankings (3 or 4 on a 4-point scale) on believability to the
13 news organizations included in the survey. The positive
rankings bounced between 61 and 64 percent for the next
eight years, before falling to 56 percent in 2012, the latest
survey I could find.
Your own employer, NBC, was at 55 percent in 2012. Your
competitors at ABC (59 percent) and CBS (57 percent) were
looked at more favorably, while Fox News was down at 49
percent.
I’m happy to report that “the daily newspaper you know
best” was at least at 57 percent.
Everyone can make a mistake, but this one seems like
something more. It’s beyond reasonable to think your viewers will be able to get beyond it.
You’ve been a strong journalist in reporting other people’s
stories. It’s too bad you bungled so badly a story you were
a part of.
You should have known that it’s best when journalists
don’t become part of the news. And you’ve done just that in
a way worse than you probably could have imagined.
Credibility is everything. And now, for you, it’s gone.
Commentary
Gary senator Earline Rogers is
Statehouse stalwart for voiceless
One of just nine black legislators in a body of 150 lawmakers
INDIANAPOLIS — At age 80,
Earline Rogers remains a vital advocate for those with little voice in the
Legislature.
At the top of her agenda this year, for
example, is a proposal to help a constituency that no one directly represents
— undocumented immigrant students
who grew up in Indiana but must
pay expensive, out-of-state tuition to
attend the state’s universities.
Rogers and Sen. Luke Kenley
(R-Noblesville), the powerful Senate
Appropriations chairman, are teaming up on a modest measure to change
that requirement for a few hundred
students, and potentially others in the
future.
Rogers, from Gary, says if she can get
that bill passed — along with a couple
other key measures — she might consider retiring after 34 years in the
General Assembly.
Though Rogers is a liberal Democrat,
Sen. Jean Leising (Oldenburg), a conservative Republican, thinks that’s a
terrible idea.
“I don’t want to her leave. We need
her here,” said Leising, whose district
in southeast Indiana is as rural as
Rogers’ is urban.
That sentiment speaks to Rogers’
unique role in the Legislature.
Rogers is one of just nine black legislators, all Democrats, in a body of
150 lawmakers. The Legislature lost its
only two Hispanic members to defeat
last November.
Yet slow-to-change Indiana is becoming increasingly diverse. Nineteen percent of its population now identifies as
something other than white.
Rogers, a retired school teacher,
knows better than most what disenfranchisement looks like.
About 60 percent of blacks in
Indiana live in two cities — Gary and
Commentary
By maureen Hayden
CnHi stateHouse
Bureau CHief
Indianapolis. It’s a population that is
proportionally underrepresented — in
the Legislature and in other ways.
Just two examples: The median
income for black Hoosiers is $18,000
less than that of whites. While 28 percent of all Hoosiers live in rental housing, 58 percent of blacks do.
Last week the Black Legislative
Caucus announced its ambitious priorities. They range from a feasibility study of locating a professional
sports team on the Indiana side of the
Chicago region, to banning racial profiling by police.
Rogers sees all as worthy of debate.
But, as she considers her legacy, she’s
focused on areas where she’s forged
alliances with Republicans who have
super-majority control of the General
Assembly.
Her top priorities include in-state
tuition for undocumented students
and a guarantee of adequate funding
for schools in high-poverty districts.
As the mother of Indiana’s original
casino legislation — which brought
thousands of good paying jobs to her
district and other depressed areas —
she’s now wants to allow casino riverboats to become land-based and more
competitive with venues out of state.
“Those are things I could get accomplished this year,” she said.
Not long ago, Rogers broke her wrist
while exercising on a treadmill. While
in recovery, she’s barred by her doctor
from driving.
That’s not a problem during the
week when she’s in Indianapolis. She
stays at the Columbia Club, an historic
hotel near the Statehouse that has long
been a bastion for Republican legislators.
In the evening, after a day’s debate,
Rogers can be found in the hotel
lounge, chatting with those GOP lawmakers about grandchildren and other
family matters.
Her friendships across the aisle seem
unlikely.
She and Kenley, for example, come
from far different backgrounds.
She’s a black, liberal Democrat from
the state’s poorest, most diverse city.
He’s a white, conservative Republican
from one of the state’s most affluent, least diverse communities —
Noblesville.
“The district she represents is a
world apart from mine,” he said.
Yet, he describes her as a “practical,
problem-solving person” who possess
what he calls a lawmaker’s greatest.
“She has tremendous credibility,”
he said.
The respect afforded to Rogers from
her fellow lawmakers is significant to
her constituents — so much so that any
talk of retirement ripples back through
her district.
Rogers said what happens during
this session could determine whether
she runs again.
“For me the question is, have I done
enough to justify my community having had the faith to put here for 34
years?” she said. “Once I come to the
conclusion that I’ve earned the right to
leave, then I’ll go.”

Spurs hand Pop 1,000 win with victory over Pacers;
Durant scores 40 as Thunder down Nuggets
SPURS 95, PACERS 93
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP)
— The San Antonio Spurs’
huge fourth-quarter rally
helped Gregg Popovich
reach the 1,000-win milestone Monday night.
Marco Belinelli’s baseline
jumper with 2.1 seconds left
capped San Antonio’s 95-93
victory at Indiana.
Popovich became the
ninth coach with 1,000 regular-season wins and the
third-fastest to achieve the
feat.
He also joined former
Utah coach Jerry Sloan as
the only coaches in NBA history to win 1,000 games with
one team.
Tony Parker led the Spurs
with 19 points. Tim Duncan
had 15.
Rodney Stuckey scored 18
for Indiana, which had won
a season-best three in a row.
The Pacers had a 79-65
lead after three quarters.
But the Spurs scored nine
straight to tie the score at
91, tied it again at 93, took
the lead on Belinelli’s shot
and held on when George
Hill’s 3-pointer bounced off
the rim.

Lady Pilgrims
take 2nd at NLCs
The young Lady Pilgrims entered this Northern Lakes
Conference Tournament weekend with a tall task at hand.
Defeat host NorthWood at the Panther Pit, then take on the
Lady Tigers from Warsaw in the championship. When the
battles ended, Plymouth finished in second place, beating
NorthWood 40-32 and falling short versus Warsaw 39-29 in
the championship game.
In the 9 a.m. NorthWood tipoff, Plymouth needed the
entire team to secure this victory. The Panthers led after
one, 8-7.
Kenzie Quissell scored seven or her game-high 16, and
running mate Christin Davidson added 11 of her 14 points
in the first half to propel Plymouth to a 19-15 halftime lead.
Jennah Nifong continued to lead the team in assists while
tallying all of her seven points in the second half.
Plymouth outscored NorthWood 21-17 in the second half
to secure its 12th win of the season. Leah Smith, Michaela
Meadors, Loren Mattern and Taylor Brown continued to
bring maximum defensive efforts that gave the Panthers fits
all game long. The duo of Shayla Noble and Kristen Brown
combined for three points and added the continued bench
strength that has made the Pilgrims’ late season run possible.
In the championship game, Plymouth fell behind 11-0 to
It’s not quite a David vs. Goliath matchup, but nonetheless Glenn will be a decided underdog when it faces South
Bend St. Joseph in the opening round of the girls high school
basketball Class 3A Sectional 19 at 6 p.m. tonight at Jimtown.
St. Joe enters the game ranked No. 2 in 3A (sixth in the
Indiana Basketball Coaches Association poll, all classes) with
a sparkling 20-1 record. The Indians’ only loss is a six-point
decision to mighty Penn, the sixth-ranked team in 4A.
Fourteen of St. Joe’s 20 wins this season have come by 21
points or more.
St. Joe is favored to not only win the sectional, but also win
the state championship as the Indians have one of the best
backcourts in all of Indiana high school basketball.
Seniors Michelle Weaver and Madeline Raster are Division
I guards, who are headed to Butler and Harvard, respectively, next season.
Weaver, who is 5-foot-8, and the 5-7 Raster were both
recently named to Hoosier Basketball Magazine’s Top 100
Girls Seniors.
“Raster can contort her body once she leaves the floor,”
Glenn head coach Kyle Amor said. “She turns, weaves and
ducks. I don’t know how she does it. She plays like a boy.
“Weaver was a great three-point shooter a year ago and
now I feel like she’s even better on penetration. They’re the
best two guards we will have seen all year.”
As St. Joe’s record would indicate, this is a team with very
few flaws and one Amor fully understands why so many
believe a long tournament run is in its future.
“They’re solid in all areas,” Amor said. “Watching them

a strong Warsaw team. Davidson’s late 3-point shot cut the
Tiger lead to 11-3 to end the first quarter. Quissell — who
finished with a game-high 14 points — Mattern (4 points)
and Smith (4 points) provided the offense for the Pilgrims in
the second quarter, cutting the Tiger lead to 19-15 at the half.
Nifong (4 points) and Quissell came out of the locker room
to supply the offensive punch in the third quarter, scoring
all 10 points, taking Plymouth into the fourth quarter with a
25-24 lead. But the Tigers’ 15-4 fourth quarter would end the
Lady Pilgrims’ hope for an NLC championship.
Warsaw padded the lead at the end from the free throw
line to finish off the Pilgrims season at 12-7.

“We’re excited,” Vukovits said. “We have
five seniors so we’re going to make it count
and go out and play our game.”
The Lady Falcons also have a 1,000-point
scorer in Kyler Columbia, who was held
scoreless in Friday night’s game at Culver.
She is averaging 15.2 points per game.
Vukovits and Columbia were also named
to Hoosier Basketball Magazine’s Top 100
Girls Seniors list.
Amor’s team is also guided by talented
sophomore point guard Kyannah Stull, the
MVP of last month’s Bi-County Tournament.
Stull is averaging 13.6 points and 4.2 assists
per contest.
To beat St. Joe, Glenn will have to play its
best game of the season.
“It can’t be three quarters of good,” Amor
explained. “It has to be four of solid play.
It doesn’t have to be four quarters of great
play. We just can’t have one quarter of bad
play.”
Vukovits has had a memorable high
school career, one she knows would be
remembered by all forever if she can lead
Glenn to an upset over St. Joe.
“This is our opportunity to make history,”
she said. “All you can do is hope for the best
and play your heart out.
“All five starters and our bench need to
have the game of their lives.”

Mike Wickliff led the overall scoring action with 21 points.
Tque Smith added 18 points for the Chargers and Alex Henn

Ancilla women fall to
Kalamazoo Valley
The Ancilla women’s basketball team fell short of a victory
on Saturday in their Michigan Community College Athletic
Association (MCCAA) Western Conference game against the
Cougars of Kalamazoo Valley Community College, 74-64.
The Lady Chargers (9-14, 1-9 MCCAA) fought a tough first
half against the Cougars during the Chargers for Change/

locker rooms. After intense back and forth action, with the
Lady Chargers pulling ahead several times throughout, the
Ancilla women were unable to capture the win.
Khadijah Moore led the Chargers with 14 points and
10 rebounds. Taylor Kuhnle added 13 points and eight
rebounds and Alexis Williams pulled down six rebounds for
the Chargers.
The Lady Chargers will be home on Wednesday to take

Recess before lunch means...
Dustin
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D.,
AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
In Disney’s 2001 animated movie “Recess: School’s
Out,” bad-guy Secretary of
Education Phillium Benedict
(voiced by James Woods)
tries to ban recess nationwide. He mistakenly believes
that by trapping kids in
school all day, test scores
will skyrocket and he will
become president. (Spoiler
alert: Benedict suffers humiliating defeat.)
But if “The Enemy of
Recess” knew that kids
will eat a lot more vegetables and fruit (research
shows such improved nutrition leads to better learning and higher test scores)
when recess is scheduled
Blondie
before lunch, would he still
have attempted his all-work,
no-play version of schoolworld domination? Hard to
say, but we’re glad to hear
about this recent discovery
made by researchers in Oren,
Utah. It offers a great way to
improve kids’ nutrition and
to eliminate a lot of the waste
that schools are complaining
about now that they’re mandated to serve up healthier
foods. It’s estimated that an
extra $4 million in fruits and
veggies are discarded daily!
The researchers found
that when kids in grades
one through six have recess
before their midday meal,
they eat about 54 percent
more fruits and vegetables
than if recess comes afterward. Seems kids are hungrier after a bit of exercise
(duh!), and when recess
follows lunch, they rush
through lunch, skipping
what they can (fruits and
vegetables) to get outside
sooner. So, let’s make recess
before lunch a part of the
guidelines in the National
School Lunch Program and
help kids grow stronger and
think better during their
school day.

Student wants to uphold high standards while living abroad
DEAR ABBY: I’m a high school student
who has the amazing opportunity to travel to
Spain for a school year as a foreign exchange
student. I know I am very lucky to have this
opportunity to travel, but I am scared about
the people there.
I am a Mormon,
so I will have to
uphold my standards alone in
a non-Mormon
environment. I
have never been
away from home
for this long,
and that’s hard
enough as it is. I
guess I just need
some advice on
By Jeanne PhilliPs
how to be strong
when I’m there. —
ALONE IN SPAIN
DEAR ALONE: I agree that you are being
given an amazing opportunity to grow and
learn. If you haven’t spoken about this with
your adviser, please do so. I assume you will
be living with a host family. When you get
there, consider discussing your concerns with
the parents. I am sure you will be encouraged
to stick to your standards and beliefs, and be
respected for doing so if you remember to
also respect others who may not think exactly
the way you do.
******
DEAR ABBY: My niece had a baby a year
after graduating from high school and is now
raising her daughter as a single mom. After
the first year, I told her that if there was any-
Dear Abby
thing she needed to let me know, but that I
would rather contribute to a college fund for
her daughter than send her toys for holidays.
My niece was thrilled, so I set up a college savings account for her daughter and
contribute to it monthly in lieu of birthday
and Christmas gifts for them. However, when
those gift-giving occasions come, I worry
they may feel slighted when presents arrive
from me for others. My niece and I never
mentioned it to other family members.
Would it be appropriate for me to send
some kind of reminder occasionally so they
know the account is there and growing? —
CONTRIBUTING TO HER FUTURE
DEAR CONTRIBUTING: Yes, it’s appropriate. You should also send your niece a
summary at the end of each year so she can
see the progress. In addition, you might consider sending the child an inexpensive small
gift or card so she’ll have something to open.
******
DEAR ABBY: In response to the letter from
“David in Kentucky” (Nov. 2), the 50-yearold single man who was unsure what to do
with his late mother’s engagement ring, I
disagree with your answer. Yes, gems are
meant to be enjoyed, and the ring is doing
no one any good in a drawer, but he should
NOT sell it.
I think David should have a man’s ring
made for himself with it, so he can have a
memento of what his dad gave his mom to
treasure many years ago. — DEVOTED FAN

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Hang On to These Ideas
Dear Readers: In a recent
column, Bev A. asked for
hints about what to do with
all the PLASTIC HANGERS she had. Here are just
a handful of all of the hints
readers sent:
Dolores S. in Mansfield,
Ohio, wrote: “Please mention the laundromat. I worked at a laundry for three
years, and we could always use hangers. The owner had to buy boxes of them, and donations would
help with expenses. People wanted their laundry
hung up, but wouldn’t bring their own hangers.”
* Nancy Meyer, via email, wrote: “We
help settle refugees, and really need hangers when
we set up their apartments. Spread the word to
check with an agency in the area that settles refugees. They will gladly take them.”
* A Reader, via email, wrote: “Other
great ideas for extra hangers are to contact hospitals. The hangers seem to disappear from the patient rooms when patients are discharged.”
All good hints, and it’s wonderful to
find out about great ways to recycle hangers. Here
is another hint from me: See if nursing homes and
assisted-living facilities would be able to use extra
hangers. -- Heloise
READY FOR EXERCISE
Dear Heloise: Many people have made
a New Year’s resolution to exercise or get more fit.
I have a piece of advice that works for me. Have
workout clothes ready. If you have to search for
the socks, the shoes, the top and the pants, it won’t
take long to be discouraged.
I have walked every day (2 miles) for
37 years, and I have my clothes ready to jump into
in the morning. Another hint: Get it done in the

Universal City, Texas
REUSE PAPER
Dear Heloise: With the popularity of
gift bags instead of wrapped presents, a lot of tissue paper is needed. I never buy tissue paper because I gathered all the paper from last year’s gift
bags and ironed them. They are good as new, and I
am able to use the paper several times. -- Kaye in
Arkansas
PAINT STIRRER
Dear Heloise: Ever wonder what to
do with all the chopsticks that come with takeout
Chinese food? Wonder no more. Chopsticks make
great paint stirrers if you have small cans of paint.
Don’t pull the chopsticks apart, and they will work
great to mix your paint. Heloise, thanks for the
helpful hints. I read your column every morning.
-- Marla S., Seal Beach, Calif.
Hi, Marla. Thanks for reading my column. I use the chopsticks for my potted plants to
aerate the soil. -- Hugs, Heloise
BOOK LIST
Dear Heloise: I created a folder I have
saved to my desktop on my computer, which I update every time I finish a book. Then, when I go
shopping for more books, I print a copy and take
it with me to prevent buying a book I have already
enjoyed. -- Conrad, via email
Send a money-saving or timesaving
hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio,
TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t
answer your letter personally but will use the best
hints received in my column.

How safe is your data
at the doctor’s office
AP — Everyone worries about stolen credit cards or
hacked bank accounts, but just visiting the doctor may put
you at greater risk for identity fraud.
Those medical forms you give the receptionist and send to
your health insurer provide fertile ground for criminals looking to steal your identity, since health care businesses can
lag far behind banks and credit card companies in protecting
sensitive information. The names, birthdates and — most
importantly — Social Security numbers detailed on those
forms can help hackers open fake credit lines, file false tax
returns and create fake medical records.
“It’s an entire profile of who you are,” said Cynthia Larose,
chair of the privacy and security practice at the law firm
Mintz Levin in Boston. “It essentially allows someone to
become you.”
Social Security numbers were created to track the earnings history of workers in order to determine government
benefits. Now, health care companies are, in some cases,
required to collect the numbers by government agencies.
They also use them because they are unique to every individual and more universal than other forms of identification
like driver’s licenses, said Dr. Ross Koppel, a University of
Pennsylvania professor who researches health care information technology.
But once someone creates a stolen identity with a Social
Security number, it can be hard to fix the damage. A person
can call a bank to shut down a stolen credit card, but it’s
not as easy of a process when it comes to Social Security
numbers.
“There is no such mechanism with Social Security numbers and our identity,” said Avivah Litan, a cybersecurity
analyst at the research firm Gartner. “You can’t just call the
bank and say, ‘Give me all the money they stole from my
identity.’ There’s no one to call.”
So being that the data is so vital to protect, health care
companies are taking every precaution to defend against
hackers, right?
Not necessarily. The FBI warned health care companies a
year ago that their industry was not doing enough to resist
cyberattacks, especially compared with companies in the
financial and retail sectors, according to Christopher Budd
of security software company Trend Micro. The warning
came in a government bulletin to U.S. companies that cited
research by a nonprofit security institute, he said.
Last year, more than 10 million people in the U.S. were
affected by health care data breaches — including hacking
or accidents that exposed personal information, such as lost
laptops — according to a government database that tracks
incidents affecting at least 500 people. That was the worst
year for health care hacking since 2011.
Litan estimates that the health care industry is generally
about 10 years behind the financial services sector in terms
of protecting consumer information. She figures that it may
be twice as easy for hackers to get sensitive financial information out of a health care company compared with a bank.
“There’s a need for that everywhere now,” she said.
Even if Anthem’s security had proved invulnerable, the
health care system offers several other inviting targets with
varying levels of security. Hospitals, labs, clinics and doctor’s offices all can be attacked.
Cybersecurity experts say they expect even more health
care hacking problems in the future as those layers of the
health care system shift their paper files to electronic medical
records, a push that has been boosted by federal funding in
recent years.
SJRMC host community education
session on health insurance plans
By Jennifer Brittin
Staff Wrtiter
MARSHALL COUNTY— The Affordable Care Act (ACA)
requires everyone to carry health insurance for themselves
and their dependents.
It provides those with no insurance or who are undercovered access to health plans at different cost levels. The law
also provides financial assistance to those who qualify based
on family size and income.
Open enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace
began on November 15 of last year. Uninsured individuals
and families who were not covered under a health insurance
plan have had the opportunity to enroll in coverage to avoid
federal penalties in 2015.
Those who have insurance have had the opportunity to
review current plans and to make any necessary changes.
Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) Health
Insurance Services, LLC provides Plymouth and surrounding communities with resource centers where individuals
and families can learn more about health insurance and
enrollment.
SJRMC Health Insurance Services will be hosting their last
free community education session Wednesday, Feb. 11 from
5:30 to 6:30 p.m. This will be the last session before open
enrollment ends on Sunday. This session is being provided
to assist individuals and families who are not covered by
health insurance or who want to change to a different insur-
ance plan to do so while open enrollment is still available.
The informational session will be held at the Marshall
County Community Resource Center located at 510 West
Adams Street in Plymouth.
Understanding the guidelines of the Affordable Care Act
can be very confusing and overwhelming. This session is
designed to provide information about the Affordable Care
Act and the Health Insurance Marketplace that will help
clear up any confusion.
Licensed health insurance agents provide several insurance options with SJRMC Health Insurance Services. They
offer commercial insurance and Medicare enrollment, Health
Insurance Marketplace enrollment, Hoosier Healthwise and
Medicaid enrollment and Healthy Indiana Plan enrollment.
Agents provide insurance education and offer seminars to
help consumers better understand their insurance options.
They also provide information to applicants about how they
can qualify for different benefits.
Coverage includes doctor visits, hospital stays, wellness
care, prescriptions, emergency services, maternal and newborn care and more.
Ten essential health benefits must be covered by the plans
and certain preventive care services are provided at no extra
cost to patients. Those who are not covered by Medicare
can’t be turned down due to pre-existing conditions.
To schedule an appointment at any of the SJRMC Health
Insurance Service locations, or for more information call
855-88-SJMED (75633).
SPICY ROASTED CHICKPEAS
Are you looking for healthy
snack food now that you’ve
resolved to eat healthier in 2015?
Here’s a recipe for a snack that
is not only tasty, but very good
for you Chickpeas are naturally low in fat, high in dietary
fiber and rich in vitamins and
minerals. Eating chickpeas regularly can help you manage your
weight, boost intestinal health
and reduce your risk of developing diabetes.
So roast up a big batch and enjoy them as snacks
during the day.
Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, well rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper, or to
taste
Kosher salt
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees F.
2. Dry the chickpeas by rolling them around in a kitchen
towel.
3. Combine the oil, paprika
cumin, cayenne and salt in a
large bowl. Add chickpeas and toss to coat evenly.
4. Transfer the chickpeas to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer.
5. Bake until golden and crispy, 25 to 35 minutes,
shaking the tray to toss after 15 minutes.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let them
cool a bit, and they are ready to serve.

"Cancer's just bad luck." The accurate, good-news
message: At least half of all cancers can be avoided
with do-it-yourself steps like watching your weight,
getting the right tests and (of course) not smoking.
The flap started on New Year's Day, with a Johns
Hopkins University study that tried to explain why
some body parts are more cancer-prone than others.
The researchers concluded that some body tissues
contain more fast-reproducing stem cells than others. The more these cells divide, the greater the risk
for genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. That
explained 65 percent of the difference in cancer
rates in different parts of the body -- the "bad luck"
mentioned in the study.
But it was widely misunderstood, leading to
headlines proclaiming two-thirds of cancer cannot
be prevented. That's hogwash! Yes, cancer starts
with unlucky genetic mutations. And sometimes, it
progresses despite a healthy lifestyle. But for many
types of cancer -- including cancers of the colon,
lungs, breast and prostate, the Big Four that affect
the most people and cause the most deaths -- the
steps you take can help keep those mutations from
morphing into cancer or stop the mutations from
happening in the first place. A new American Cancer
Society study followed a half-million Americans for
over 10 years and discovered that following cancer-
fighting strategies reduced the odds for many cancers dramatically; for example, it cuts the risk for
colon cancer by up to 48 percent.
Another benefit of smart lifestyle choices: Much
of the malignancy of cancer once it starts is determined by your choices, such as avoiding foods with
added sugars or syrups and just walking regularly.
And top cancer experts are shouting the "you can
make a difference" message to the world. So, here's
how they, and we, say you can prevent and help
control cancer:
Don't smoke. "Nearly all lung cancer would be
prevented if nobody smoked," noted one Harvard
School of Public Health dean in a Boston Globe
op-ed about the study. If you've tried to quit before,
try again. And again. Talk with your doc about
crave-stopping medications, nicotine replacement
products and counseling, then set a stop date.
Watch your weight; eat great proteins.
Maintaining a healthy weight can cut your risk
for cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and
rectum, lining of the uterus, kidneys, breast, ovaries, prostate and gallbladder. Eating more healthy
protein, such as fish, skinless chicken, turkey, beans
and nuts, helps build muscle and is good for getting rid of inflammatory body fat that increases
cancer risk. Next, avoid all deli meats (they're usually highly processed with harmful chemicals) and
red meat, pork and egg yolks. Red meat contains
saturated fats and the amino acid carnitine. If you
consume more than 4 ounces of red meat or one egg
yolk a week, or a combo, your gut bacteria change
to produce trimethylamine, which your liver turns
into inflammatory compounds like trimethylamine
oxide, and that may be more likely to promote cancer than even cigarettes.
Get the tests you need. Mammograms, pelvic
exams, colon checks, skin screening, prostate-cancer
checks (if you and your doc agree they're right for
you) can find precancerous tissue and cancers in
early, more treatable stages.
Say yes to cancer vaccines. Rates of liver cancer
have fallen thanks to childhood vaccination for
hepatitis B. And the new HPV vaccine for teens and
young adults could prevent an estimated 21 million
cancers (including cancers of the cervix, anus and
vagina). Yet 42 percent of teen girls and 65 percent
of teen boys are missing out.
Slather on the sunscreen. The American Cancer
Society notes that protecting yourself from the sun's
harmful UV rays can reduce your risk for the deadliest skin cancer, melanoma, by 50 percent.
