Indiana’s Bicentennial prompts celebration plans
By Diona EskEw
Managing Editor
MARSHALL COUNTY — Members of Marshall County
are busy preparing for Indiana’s big birthday next year.
Monday morning representatives from multiple areas
of the county converged at the Marshall County Historic
Museum to share their ideas and plans for the celebration.
Projects relating to the celebration have been submitted to
the Indiana Bicentennial Commission to earn approval for
the Legacy Project. In Marshall County five projects have
been approved and even more have been submitted.
In addition the Marshall County Community Foundation
offered a special round of grants just for bicentennial projects. The deadline for submission is over, however, not all
grants have been awarded at this time.
Mike Stephan, director Potawatomi Wildlife Park, talked
about the park’s plans to create signage from 1816 and
working forward. He also spoke of wanting to arrange some
type of historic tour.
Kurt Garner, Wythougan Preservation Council, informed
Stephan that Wythougan is planning a county wide driving
tour of the historic places in the county and would be happy
to add Potawatomi to the list. There are currently about 30
sites that are planned to be included on the tour. In addition
Wythougan is planning to have the town of Bourbon and
Argos added to the National Registry of Historic places by
the end of 2015.
Wythougan is also working closely with the Indiana
Bi-ways Commissions on a passport project. Because there
are seven Bi-ways in Indiana and two of them are right in
Marshall County the passport project fits nicely into the
plans. The idea is to have a special passport that has each

bi-way in it as a spread. Individuals would then get a stamp
at a designated location, in their passport book when they
visit the location. The passports will be geared towards
fourth grade history.
The Marshall County Orchestra, led by Don Harness,
is working on a bicentennial concert for the celebration.
The plan so far includes having a host to give informative
facts between music that relate to Indiana’s history. While
the main music will be orchestral there will be other acts
included.
Harness said, “Any one that is interested in participating
can. I can simplify any music to allow a wide range of skill
levels of musicians to participate.”
The performance will be outside, but Harness is making

PLYMOUTH – The Board

met Jan. 26 by opening with
a call to order and handling
standard procedure.
After approving the minutes from the previous
meeting, City Attorney Sean
Surrisi approached to discuss the acknowledgement
of KINETIC IT’s service contracts.
It will provide internet
and phone service over the
Metronet connection and
additional services. The
Redevelopment Commission
in December agreed to the
purchase of the servers and
systems necessary to take
advantage of the monthly
service agreements and
additional services. Each
department will now have
their own individual service.

approached to request the
board grant an exception to
Dolores Vaca. Vaca is the
manager of 1220 Lincolnway
East.
After a leak in the building caused damage in two
departments, Vaca requested the ability to pay the
bill of $832.80 in payments
rather than a lump sum as
she was unsure of her ability
to pay in full. To make it in
payments is not currently
in the ordinance without a
special exception.
Clara Sterling came forward with a request to have
the fee tacked onto her sewer
bill after the bank reported
insufficient funds.
Sterling stated the bank
had closed the account, due
to having had her checks
stolen, preventing the payment from going through at
the time.
The board made a special
consideration for Sterling
and waived the $27.50 fee.
Her good standing in having consistently paid on time
over many years without
outstanding payments was

MARSHALL COUNTY— The Union
North School Corporation held a board of
school trustees finance meeting Thursday
evening followed by a regular session meeting of the school board.
The board of finance elected new officers.
Board member, David Grenert, nominated
Dan Zieger for President and Karman Eash
for Secretary. Nominations were seconded
by Mike Berger and passed 5-0.
The finance board also discussed the disposition of old outstanding checks. Board
member, Ken Moore, moved to approve that
Valerie Gillespie, Corporation Treasurer and
Kathy Wirtz, High School Treasurer, dispose
of old outstanding checks that are unpaid
for over two or more years and that the
funds be receipted back into the funds from
which the checks were drawn. Board member, Karman Eash, seconded the motion
which passed unanimously.
Next, Valerie Gillespie, Corporation
Treasurer, presented information from the
2014 investment report.
Following the finance meeting, the Board
of School Trustees held their meeting with
all members present.
The main topics of discussion included
the technology report given by new technology director, Jeff Allan, the changing of
Michael Edison’s title from Dean of Students
to Assistant Principal of LaVille Jr.-Sr. High
School and debate over the salary paid to
the LaVille assistant basketball coaches.
“One serious issue we’ve been having is
with the email,” began LaVille Technology
Director, Jeff Allan. “More or less, spam bots
have gotten into our system and were just
flooding out a bunch of spam emails.” He
reported that within the last couple of weeks
this issue had been resolved.
Allan continued on to explain that the previous technology director had planned on
going to Office 365, but Allan felt that due
to expense it would be a wiser decision to go
with Google Apps for Education.

“It’s all through Google,” he explained. “It
works the same as a personal Gmail account
and it’s provided free by Google. We get all
the advantages of having a Google product
with 99 percent up time and none of the
data is stored on servers here, so if there’s
a natural disaster or some other event, we
don’t have to worry about our emails and
information not being there.”
He went on to explain that by going with
Google Apps the corporation will save a
significant amount of money, about $23,000,
and once the transition is complete there
won’t be any more email issues.
Allan presented information regarding his
intent to purchase backup hardware which
will bring the school’s hardware up to date.
“This will let us store a lot more for a
much longer time period,” Allan stated. “It
will also make the recovery process a lot
easier than it was in the past.”
Board members unanimously approved
the change of Michael Edison’s title from
Dean of Students to Assistant Principal of
LaVille Junior Senior High School retroactive to January 1, 2015. This change will give
him all the benefits of a Union-North United
School Corporation Administrator.
Next on the agenda was discussion regarding the approval of additional money being
paid to both Cody Coblentz and Derrick
DeShone as the Assistant Varsity Basketball
Coaches for LaVille. After views were stated
by board members regarding this matter,
board member David Grenert moved to
amend the motion due to unclarity.
“As mover of the motion, let me explain
the rationale behind that,” explained
Grenert. “I believe that we are obviously not
all on the same page as to what we attempted to do in December.”
After further debate, the board agreed to
table the discussion until clarification can be
provided at the next meeting to everyone
regarding discussions which took place at
the board’s December meeting.
Superintendent, Mitchell Mawhorter,
reported that April 6 will be used as a makeup day for the snow day taken on January 9.

PLYMOUTH – The Common Council opened their Jan. 26
meeting with a continuation of previous issues from Jan. 12.
Councilman Mike Delp once again brought up the subject
of the house constructed in pole barn style by owner Jud
Rousch, a member of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
and Navy veteran.
Delp stated that he had spoken to a realtor, appraiser,
neighbors, and other individuals to determine that local
homeowners on Baker Street would have their property
values reduced.
He also stated that he had spoken with local cities building commissioners from Valparaiso and Warsaw in his
research in his crusade against the use of metal vertical siding on the building.
Delp further stated that in his estimation, roughly 60 percent of the structure would be garage and 40 percent living
area.
“It’s going to look like a small commercial structure and it
doesn’t fit the area,” he said.
City Attorney Sean Surrisi stated that there are no aesthetic restrictions according to city code. He further stated that
in the past, the Supreme Court has ruled that while there
may be some minor coding on aesthetics, but that regulating
it can go too far and restrict the free expression and property
rights of the owner.
“The state prohibits cities from passing more stringent
building codes than their own,” he stated.
Rousch approached the podium to answer questions
regarding his planned aesthetic design of the home.
His plan is that two sides of the house will have something other than metal, the floors will be heated, the structure will have a wrap-around porch, and the windows will
be large with shutters. Rousch stated that the home will
look very nice once it is finished. The outside is projected
to be finished, leaving a shell, in two months with weather
permitting.
Neighbor Beverly Alt took the podium after Rousch to
state her opinion on the subject.
“I’m very upset. I don’t like the way it looks. The property
will depreciate the area,” she said emphatically.
The council moved onward to new business as Surrisi
approached concerning the appointment of alternates to the
Board of Zoning Appeals. Fred Webster and Greg Compton
were approved in the council’s motion to move forward
with the process.

Jud Rousch, owner of a property being erected on Baker
Street, stands before the Common Council at their Jan.
26 meeting. Rousch is creating a house with a pole barn
construction that will have a full garage. Neighbors on the
street are opposed to the aesthetic design and construction of the home as they believe it will devalue their own
properties in the long term. Currently, no ordinances stand
concerning aesthetic design choices by property owners.
Commissioner Kurt Garner approached with Josh Walker,
co-owner of the Blacksail Brewing Company, to discuss
measures that would help the fledgling brewery finally take
flight.
The brewing company has made arrangements to take
over the old Salvation Army building on Water Street, across
the way from River Park Square.
Walker requested, along with Garner, that a special commission be established to extend the historic district boundary of the downtown to the building, rather than ending at
the alleyway where current lines lay. With this designation,
Walker and his business partner will be able to more readily gain their permits for the building with the help of that
historic designation.
Buildings according to the national federal registry must
be at least 50 years old. At the time of the original establishment of the historic downtown, the buildings on Water
Street were not that old in 1997. The designation, for the
federal registry, now takes between 12 and 18 months longer
than it did before, according to Garner.
The council approved ordinance 2015-2084 to establish
the Plymouth Historic Preservation Commission through
three readings, and only to broaden the designations for
this purpose.

on what they plan to use the funds
earned for. Troops hold their booth
sales at local retailers like Wal-Mart,
Kroger, K-Mart and gas stations. The
money the troops raise is used for
camping, supplies and to support the
scout’s community service efforts helping local organizations, such as the Red
Cross.
Troops in GSNI-M council have
access to two camp properties, two
program centers and three service centers located throughout the council
area.
Girls who participate in the annual
cookie sale event benefit by marketing the cookies and interacting with
customers.
“The girls learn important life skills
through the process of selling cookies,”
says Vickie Blair of GSNI-M. “They
learn how to set goals, work with
money, work as a team, and of course
they build communication skills.”
It helps them develop confidence
and learn skills that will stay with
them throughout their lives like goal
setting, decision making, money management, people skills and good business ethics. This is the first year that
cookie sales will go digital allowing
girls to learn how to build their own
cookie websites and how to do sales in
a different manner.
This year National Girl Scout Cookie
Weekend will take place February 27
through March 1.

Straight ticket bill
deserves a vote
In an era often marred by senseless legislation (allowing guns on school property) and ethical issues (former
superintendent of public instruction Tony Bennett, Rep. Eric
Turner), it’s nice to
see a lawmaker
propose a measure
firmly grounded
in logic.
By Ray Cooney
It’s especially
(PoRtland) CommeRiCial Review
heartening when
a legislator brings
forth a commonsense bill despite the fact that it will likely have a negative
impact on his own party.
House Bill 1008, authored by Rep. David Ober (R-Albion),
would end straight ticket voting — selecting all the candidates from a single party with the push of one button — in
Indiana.
What stands out about Ober’s bill, which was co-authored
by fellow Republicans Kathy Richardson (Noblesville) and
Milo Smith (Columbus), is that he proposed it despite the
fact it is likely to have a greater impact on his party than
the opposition.
The Hoosier State, after all, tends to lean to the
right. Republicans account for seven of our nine U.S.
Representatives, six of our seven state executive office holders, 37 of our 50 state senators and 69 out of our 100 state
representatives.
And if more voters select Republicans, it’s likely they
also receive more straight ticket votes. That was true in
November in Jay County, which heavily favored the GOP in
state and national races, when 457 straight ticket votes went
to the Republican party compared to 219 for Democrats and
just four for Libertarians.
To us, straight ticket voting has never made any sense. It
allows a citizen to step into a voting booth and mindlessly
select a slate of candidates, some of which he or she may not
have even known were running for office.
That’s not the kind of voting we want to encourage.
Voting should be a thoughtful process in which citizens
view campaign advertising, listen to what is said during debates, and, yes, read about candidates in their local
newspapers. They should then make their choice based on
information they’ve gathered rather than the R or D in front
of the candidate’s name.
(Note that party designation will continue to be on the
ballot, so if a voter wants to select everyone from the same
party he or she easily can. It will just require pressing a few
more buttons.)
Party designation shouldn’t be the sole deciding factor
in the voting booth, especially in local elections. There are
good and bad candidates from all parties, and the only goal
of the voter should be to select those they feel will do the
best job for their city, county, state or country.
Indiana is one of just 12 states — Michigan and Kentucky
are two of the others — that offer the straight ticket option.
It’s time to take our name off the list.
Commentary
Muslim allies combating
Islamic State deserve support
Most of the Left has figured it out:
We in the West, and by the West I
roughly mean the United States and its
NATO allies, have been under attack
by Muslim whatever (you fill in the
blank). Some say Muslim extremists,
some say Muslim radicals, same say
Islamofacists, some say Muslim terrorists.
Call them whatever, it is clear that
these people are not just a few guys
in a basement somewhere in Pakistan.
They are organized and are engaged in
coordinated attacks on the West.
They influence existing states
(Pakistan, Iran), and they have a state
called the Islamic State of Iraq and alSham (ISIS). They are persistent, and
they are not going to disappear from
the scene anytime soon.
These terrorists are evil; and no
amount of being nice, saying nice
things, refraining from referring to
them as Muslims, extending a peaceful
hand in friendship, listening to their
concerns, apologizing for colonialism
or the crusades, engaging in constructive dialogue is ever going to tame
them or constrain them.
Nor will it influence their recruiting
ability. In fact, such politically correct
nonsense probably helps them recruit.
The Charlie Hebdo cartoons are
offensive, very offensive. In most every
Commentary
By CeCil Bohanon
Muslim country it would be illegal,
as would similar expression in many
other places (think China and Russia).
A majority of people in the world
believe the government should ban
such cartoons.
We in the West are in the minority.
Most of the world does not accept our
notion of unbridled free speech.
That is also why this Islamic brand
of terrorism isn’t going away anytime
soon. Western values are not universal
or even commonly held — no matter
how many times we sing Kumbaya or
wish otherwise.
I hope the Right will figure out:
While way too many Muslims either
explicitly or implicitly sympathize
with the terrorists’ aims and methods,
there are untold millions of Muslims
who hate these terrorists as much as
we do. I know. Some are former students of mine who are in their native
lands taking great risks trying to fight
these forces of evil.
And I hope all will understand:
These are the Muslims we should court,
aid and support. They were marching
in Iran in 2009. They opposed the
Assad regime in Syria. They are in
Kurdistan. They removed the Muslim
Brotherhood from power in Egypt.
They are in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Do they agree with us on matters of
free speech, public decency, gay rights,
etc.? Probably not.
Their governments will not be carbon copies of the United States or
Western Europe. Under their rule,
Charlie Hebdo will be illegal, but they
will not insist it be illegal in our country.
Is there a risk some of these allies
will be insincere and turn on us? Yes,
we live in a real world.
The litmus test is whether they are
intent on killing us or undermining
our way of life. If we have good reason
to believe they are not, we should support them as they fight the common
enemy in our midst.
It is time for the U.S. to stop abandoning its friends in a futile hope of
persuading its enemies.

Payout caps can serve taxpayers
(Anderson) Herald Bulletin
When injured through no fault of their own, most Hoosiers
expect, at the least, to receive compensation to cover medical expenses.
There are, of course, exceptions to the amounts needed
to cover such expenses, including ongoing medical costs,
inability to work and mental trauma. There are also exceptions to consider as to the cause of the injury is an individual, a private company or a government entity.
In Indiana, laws have worked their way through the
system to limit the amount individuals can seek against
government agencies in seeking compensation for injury or
wrongful death. The rules, part of the Indiana Tort Claims
Act, will never seem appropriate for those who have been
injured.
The ITCA places a cap of $700,000 for an individual and
$5 million per incident in claiming damages against state
agencies and government entities. Victims may feel those
are too low.
But these limits and related state actions seem sound in
addressing the victims of the Indiana State Fair stage collapse on Aug. 13, 2011, at an outdoor Sugarland concert.
In December of that year, the state offered $5 million to
more than 60 of those injured and to the estates of seven
people who died in the tragedy. Only one family — that of
10-year-old Jordyn Polet of Cincinnati — did not accept a
settlement; the Polets had been offered $1,690.75. The girl
had sustained leg and ankle injuries and experienced posttraumatic stress disorder. Her mother and sister, who were
also injured, accepted a share of the settlement for their
injuries.
Recognizing that $5 million was not enough for such a
large group, the Indiana Legislature came back with an
additional $6 million for those who had accepted the first
settlement offer.
Attorneys for Jordyn Polet sued the state, saying the cap
does not allow victims to be paid equally. Last week, the
Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the cap for seemingly
good reasons that benefit Hoosier taxpayers. Legal terminology aside, there are two basic concepts that support the
caps in this case.
The first: None of the victims were precluded from seeking a claim, and the state of Indiana did offer a settlement.
Polet and her family had a right to seek additional compensation and they pursued it. The legal process was available
to all the victims.
The second: Public taxpayer funds are involved in distributing financial relief here. As was noted by Indiana Attorney
General Greg Zoeller, who defends the tort claim cap, the
public did not cause the injuries.
To most Hoosiers, the accident was caused by negligence
and miscommunication among organizers. That is likely a
hazard that will always need to be addressed by government leaders.
There are financial limitations in suing a government
entity in Indiana. Those restrictions may not seem to serve
people injured in the horrible accident of a stage collapsing
at the Indiana State Fair. But in this case, the limitations
go a long way toward serving the larger body of Hoosier
taxpayers.

OD’s Trott very deserving recipient of Hawkins Award
By Doug griffiths

Triton grad Clay Yeo brings the ball up the floor for Bethel
College during a game with IWU earlier this season.
Yeo earns 2nd
Crossroads League
Player of the Week
honor for Bethel
HARTFORD CITY — Triton grad and all-time leading
Marshall County high school scorer Clay Yeo was honored
for the second time as the Crossroads League Player of the
Week on Monday after the sophomore guard continued his
high level play in a pair of Bethel road wins.
Yeo averaged 25 points, 10 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 blocks
and 1 steal per game while sinking 63 percent from the field
on 17-of-27 attempts.
Yeo opened up the week helping his No. 8-ranked Pilots
(19-3, 7-3 CL) to a 70-50 victory at Taylor University on Jan.
20, scoring a career high-tying 31 points to go along with 14
rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals.
The Bourbon native capped it off with 19 points and the
game-deciding three-pointer in the closing seconds to upset
No. 1 Indiana Wesleyan University 88-85.
For the week, the Valparaiso University transfer shot a
perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line and 6-of-10 from
beyond the arc.
Yeo currently leads the Crossroads League in scoring,
knocking in 21.8 points per contest, good for 12th in the
nation, as well as ranking 11th in three-point field goal percentage (48 percent).
Yeo has scored in double figures in every game for Bethel,
hitting the 31-point mark four times.
The Crossroads League Player of the Week honor is the
second for Yeo, who was also named last Nov. 17. He follows
Bethel College senior Matt Schauss as the second straight
Pilot men’s basketball student-athlete to earn the honor. This
season Bethel has received the Player of the Week accolade
six times.
Girls swimming
After being honored as
the girl’s recipient of the
2015 W.B. Hawkins Award
for excellence in academic
and athletics at the annual Bi-County Tournament
Saturday night, OregonDavis’ Riley Trott was her
usual down-to-earth self.
“This feels pretty good,”
she said when asked how
winning the Hawkins Award
compares to being on last
year’s state championship
team. “Winning state was
one of our greatest accomplishments as a team and
this builds my confidence
for future things.”
Her mother, Kelly Trott,
on the other hand, was
slightly more emotional.
“I cried,” said her mother
when Riley was named the
winner of the prestigious
award in front of a packed
gymnasium at LaVille High
School. “I am very proud.
She’s very deserving.”
No doubt. The Hawkins
Award selection committee
made the perfect selection.
Trott, a junior who is a
starting guard for the Lady
Cats, has a 4.25 GPA and has
earned just one B — in AP
psychology — in her scholastic career.
“Personally I’m extremely
proud of this young lady
because she truly is a hard
worker on and off the court
in everything she does,
and it show,” said OregonDavis girls varsity basketball head coach Terry Minix,
who knows Riley well off
the court since she and his
daughter, Lexi, are such
close friends.
“This young lady has
persevered so much after
losing her father (Mike) at
such a young age. I truly
believe he still lives within
her because she is such a
determined young lady and
always thinks of everyone
else before herself just like
her father always did.
“Not to be outdone, her
mother, has been the rock in
keeping their family upbeat
and positive,” Minix added.

Oregon-Davis junior Riley Trott is pictured here showing off her W.B. Hawkins Award after
being presented with the honor Saturday night at LaVille High School.
One of her favorite subjects in schools is mathematics, something Riley admits
has always come easy. She is
currently taking pre-calculus and trigonometry.
Her mother knew Riley
had a special inner drive at
an early age.
“She’s always wanted to
be the best,” Kelly said. “She
is going to do great things
in life.”
Riley is already making
her impact felt not only at
school, but also throughout
her community.
A statement held very
dear to her is “never humiliate someone for your gain.”
There’s no question she
places others feelings ahead
of her own and is passionate
about helping those in her
community as well as her
school.
She helps first graders
learn to read and volunteers
at local elections to soak in
as much as she can about
local government.
Riley is a vital member of
many clubs at school, including Yearbook and Student

MELBOURNE, Australia
(AP) — Rafael Nadal has
joined Roger Federer on the
sidelines at the Australian
Open, taking their combined
31 Grand Slam singles titles
with them.
On the women’s side,
second-seeded
Maria
Sharapova, who beat Eugenie
Bouchard on Tuesday, and
Ekaterina Makarova are still
around and will play an allRussian semifinal.
Nadal’s lack of match fitness from nearly six months
of injuries and illness finally
caught up with the 14-time
major champion in his quarterfinal match against Tomas
Berdych. He was never much
of a factor and lost 6-2, 6-0,
7-6 (5).
The third-seeded Nadal
said before the tournament
that his inactivity over the
last half of 2014 made him
unlikely to win more than a
few rounds. Coming into the
Australian Open, Nadal had
played only eight matches
since last June because of a
right wrist injury and appendix surgery in November.
Federer, who has 17
major titles, including
four in Australia, departed
Melbourne Park after an
upset third-round loss to
Andrea Seppi.
Nadal said he was surprised to have advanced as
far as he did in Melbourne.
“It is obvious that I needed
something more to be more
competitive,” Nadal said.
“As I said when I arrived
here, the process always is
not easy. When you have
injuries, comebacks are difficult. But without being at my
top level of tennis, I was able
to be here in quarterfinals. Is
not a bad result at all for me.”
Berdych said, “I was ready
for everything and I think
that was the difference ...
when you’re playing Rafa
you have to keep going to
the last point.”
The
seventh-seeded
Berdych, who had lost 17
straight matches to Nadal,
will play sixth-seeded Andy
Murray in the semifinals
after the British player beat
local hope Nick Kyrgios 6-3,

The 19-year-old Kyrgios,
who walked onto the court
with his headphones on and
gave two thumbs-up to the

backhanded drop shot at the

set, he spread out his arms
for applause, and in the third
set, he hit a between-thelegs shot that Murray easily
returned.
“It was a tricky match,”
Murray said. “I tried to start
as quick as possible because
I know how dangerous Nick
is. He’s a huge hitter of the
ball, so I tried to keep it out
of his strike zone as much
as possible. Thankfully it

Recovery from knee replacement
Dustin
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D.,
AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
When anchorman Brian
Williams had knee-replacement surgery in 2013, he
blogged about the recovery,
comparing it to his first knee
surgery in 1977: “While the
meds are better these days ...
post-operative pain remains
the same.” Most of the
600,000 folks who have kneereplacement surgery every
year in North American
would agree that the pain is
pretty excruciating. But for
everyone with knee replacements on the horizon, there’s
great news.
A new pain-control technique offers patients relief
for up to two days post-op,
speeding up recovery and
Blondie
increasing knee function. In
fact, many folks are up and
walking hours after the surgery! What’s the secret? A
Henry Ford Hospital study
says that injecting a longacting numbing medicine
— liposomal bupivacaine —
into the tissue around the
knee during surgery does the
trick.
Unfortunately, as North
Americans become increasingly overweight and obese,
ever more people will need
knee replacements: a June
2014 study found that 95 percent of current surgeries were
attributable to overweight or
obesity. We’re glad for you
folks who need a new knee
that there’s improved pain
control. But, honestly, you
future candidates out there,
wouldn’t you rather avoid
the procedure altogether?
Well
here’s
another
Do-Over opportunity. If you
get to and maintain a healthy
weight, you may never need
a knee replacement. So start
walking, say “so long” to
sodas, saturated and trans
fats, sugary cereals and
treats, and “hello” to nine
servings of fruits and veggies a day. That’s the bee’s
knees!

of them, and I’m

me because after nine months I’m still struggling with his looks.
I feel like there is no sexual chemistry. But
we have another kind of chemistry because
we get along great, and he motivates me to
be a better person.
Am I shallow, or is the lack of sexual
chemistry a sign that maintaining a successful long-term relationship won’t happen? —
MISS PICKY IN LAS VEGAS
DEAR MISS PICKY: I’m not going to call
you shallow. Whether lack of sexual chemistry is a deal-breaker for you depends upon
how important sex is to you. From what you
have told me, looks are a primary factor in
Dear Abby
what draws you to men.
Bear in mind that men who are Adonises
can lose their looks if they don’t consistently
work at it — just as women do. Much as we
might wish it, looks don’t always last forever.
That’s why, if you’re looking for a long-term
relationship, it’s extremely important to take
into consideration qualities that will last.
******
DEAR ABBY: My 67-year-old mother has
vascular dementia and breast cancer. In accordance with her living will and many conversations we had before the dementia began,
we (Mom, my sisters and I) have decided to
forgo treatment. She has been widowed for 17
years; she watched her husband — our father
— die from cancer. She lives in an excellent
health care facility that will provide her with
palliative care when the time is right.
My question is, how do we inform people
(family and friends) of her diagnosis and of
our treatment plan? Without knowing the
whole story, without having seen her very
recently, it seems everyone has an opinion
on what we “should” do. — FAMILY WITH
A DILEMMA
DEAR DILEMMA: How do these unwanted advice givers know that you do not plan to
subject your mother to treatments that would
only prolong her decline? If you solicited
their opinion, you made a mistake.
Your mother’s treatment plan is nobody’s
business but yours and your sisters’. If these
are her wishes as stated in her advance directive for health care, then you should respect
them. To do otherwise would be a betrayal
of her trust.

WE WERE ALL BORN TO MOVE
We were all born to move! From our
earliest days as a human being to the closing chapter of our lives, we are engineered
to go forward.
Within months after creation, babies are
shifting and twisting, ever searching for a
better position or angle of comfort. Parents
anticipate these sudden spasms, and joyfully renounce normal etiquette and dignity,
choosing instead to call for those in close
proximity to scurry over, place their hands
on the protruding tummy, and feel baby
kick. We are thrilled that a child does what
he is supposed to do- MOVE. After nine
months, he’s at it again, pushing the limits,
ready to exit, driven toward new frontiers.
Infants and toddlers instinctively are ramblers. Turning over, scooting, crawling, wobbling, falling, young ones have an insatiable
desire for activity. Little boys bounce balls
and push miniature trucks over hardwood
floors. Little girls skip through the house
and guide their play babies in strollers.
What child doesn’t like an interactive game
of hide and seek? Mention the possibility of
a rambunctious game of sharks and minnows, and most kids rush at the chance to
show their speed. We were all born to move.

So what happens as a child gets older?
And, why do many adults stop moving, or
move as little as possible? Why does movement cease being as much fun and transitions to drudgery? When are endless hours
of outdoor activity replaced with mundane,
sedentary staring at dimly lit television and
computer screens? Life is meant for movement, and we as adults should be role models and cheerleaders for children, prompting
them to lead healthy lives.
Movement should not be our enemy, it
should be our ally. Activity makes us young
and energetic.
My role model was Grandma Ringler.
Energetic, spirited and hardworking, she
was one of the most active senior citizens
in our small community. I lived in the
country. She lived in town, the banks of
Lake Wawasee within throwing distance of
Health Briefs
Pence sets health care speech;
Medicaid alternative pending
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence is set to give a
speech on health care policy as his administration has been
awaiting a decision from federal officials on a proposal to
expand Indiana’s Medicaid-covered health saving accounts
program for low-income residents.
Pence’s speech is scheduled for Tuesday morning at a conference center on the north side of Indianapolis.
The Healthy Indiana Plan, or HIP program, that began
under former Gov. Mitch Daniels now enrolls some 60,000
low-income Indiana residents.
Pence in July submitted his HIP 2.0 proposal to federal
officials. He says it could cover an additional 350,000 lowincome residents who otherwise don’t qualify for Medicaid.
Indiana’s proposal would rely on optional payments by consumers and a hybrid health savings account.
HUD awards $16.4 million to support Indiana homeless
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. Housing and Urban
Development Department has awarded more than $16.4
million in grants to support 109 local homeless housing and
service programs in Indiana.
HUD Secretary Julian Castro says the Continuum of Care
grants announced Monday will help provide critically needed services for homeless people and their families. He called
it a national shame that anyone would call the streets their
home, saying the nation can and must end homelessness.
The funding will allow local providers to continue offering
permanent and transitional housing to homeless people as
well as services including job training, health care, mental
health counseling, substance abuse treatment and child care.
Nationwide, HUD awarded $1.8 billion to homeless programs.

her house. This was every boy’s paradise.
Grandma must have noticed something
within her scrawny ten year old grandson,
because she challenged me to start running.
A workout plan was devised.
I would pay her electric bill in person
by running the check to the main office,
run back, and battle the stopwatch that she
held tightly in her hand. Thus, the famed
“Electric Bill Race” had begun: Jump off the
porch. Sprint through the backyard. Cross
the creek. Push up the hill to the park, and
dart past the fake Dalmatian statue at the
fire station.
Work the middle part through town until
I could spot the old brick utilities building
on the left side of the street. Look for an
opening in traffic. Speed across the busy
intersection. Finally, burst into the accounts
department, toss the check on the counter,
and retrace my route back to that front
porch finish line where Grandma eagerly
awaited my arrival.
Magically, my time was usually just a bit
faster than my previous race, at least according to her chart. I was the only participant,
and my 68 year old grandma was my coach,
but that was irrelevant. I was having fun,
and I had found my passion!
Helping children and adults lead healthier and more active lives is the responsibility of all. Winter can be a tough time to
stay engaged in physical activity, but these
months do not have to be times of sedentary living. Sure, sleeping- in is great, and
eating some amount of comfort food is
always good for the soul , but make sure
you schedule at least 30 minutes each day
for exercise and play. Here are a few helpful
suggestions:
Plan a game with your child or neighborhood children once a week. Tag, capture the
flag, or obstacle course races are favorites.
Buy a late Christmas gift. Register your
child for a 3 -4 month fitness class instead of
purchasing another video game. We have
several great sports centers in town, all of
which have qualified instructors who make
activity fun. This gift will be long enjoyed,
well after other gifts have lost their luster.
Walk three times a week, right around
sunset. Enjoy the gorgeous Heartland colors
in the sky. Plan a scavenger hunt, searching
for little items on the ground like acorns,
leaves, rocks, etc. Take your camera with
you for some great photos.
Play “kick the ball”. The game is just like
catch, but you kick the ball instead. This
activity provides whole body movement
every time you catch, kick or run after the
ball. A volleyball works best because it is
softer.
Make this winter one of your most active and
healthy seasons ever. Until next month, keep
moving.
QUINOA CASSEROLE
Did you know that quinoa is
called a “mother grain”? That’s
because it has nutrients that exactly match the needs of the human
body, and is an excellent substitute
for meat protein. Easy to cook,
good hot or cold, and fiber-rich,
quinoa should always be included
in a healthy diet. It’s a nutrientdense food that is heart healthy,
and has been shown to lower cholesterol.
The following recipe meets all needs: it’s vegetarian,
gluten-free, and best of all, easy. You can even make it
a day ahead of when you need it and refrigerate it overnight. It’s pleasantly spicy, but not hot.
Try it, and feel good about your resolution to eat
healthier in 2015.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups frozen chopped spinach
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
2 10- to 12-ounce boxes frozen
pureed squash, thawed
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh
cilantro
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°F.
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof
skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring
occasionally, until tender and browned, 9 to 11 minutes.
2. Add garlic, paprika, 2 teaspoons cumin, coriander,
cayenne and allspice and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in
chickpeas, tomatoes, spinach, quinoa, raisins, water and
1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Remove
from heat.
3. If thawed squash is watery, place in a fine-mesh
sieve and gently press to extract excess liquid. Transfer
to a medium bowl and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Spread the squash evenly over the chickpea mixture.
4. Cover the pan and bake until steaming hot, about
45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with
cilantro.
The science behind the high-protein craze
DRS. OZ
AND ROIZEN
By Michael Roizen, M.D.
and Mehmet Oz, M.D.
Move over, fat
and carbs. Protein's
grabbing the spotlight. Half of all consumers want more of this healthy
nutrient, and new surveys reveal that one in five is paying extra to get it. Protein-fortified milk, bread, breakfast
cereal, cookies, water and even gummy bears are crowding grocery-store shelves.
We're not quite ready for high-protein bugs for dinner or dessert (a steady diet of fried crickets and chocolate-covered mealworms), but we do know that getting
the right protein is important. It provides essential building blocks for muscles, internal organs, blood cells, hormones, enzymes and disease-fighting antibodies. Getting
enough can help you maintain strong muscles, stave off
hunger pangs, help control blood pressure and lower
stroke risk.
However, too much of the wrong protein sources,
like fatty meats, whey and casein, milk proteins and processed stuff like bacon, lunch meat, sausage and ham, or
tricked-up, sugar-laden "protein treats," can change your
gut bacteria, cause inflammation and boost your cancer
risk as much as smoking does.
So here are our science-based answers to your questions about protein:
Q: I'm middle-age. Should I eat more protein?
A: Probably not. Women need about 46 grams of protein daily, men about 56 grams. That's about the amount
in a 4-ounce salmon filet, a glass of skim almond milk,
two tablespoons of peanut butter, plus a small amount
of protein from whole grains and veggies. Add a cup of
oatmeal for the guys. Most of us get way more -- an average of 70 grams for women, 101 for men.
Q: Who needs more protein?
A: About one in 13 teenage girls and up to 41 percent
of older adults need more proteins. Research suggests
older people may need extra protein to help maintain
muscle. Muscle mass declines naturally with age, which
can increase your risk for falls, frailty, weakness and
even health issues like diabetes. (Muscle cells burn lots of
blood sugar; the fewer you have the less you burn.) You
also need a bit more if you're pregnant, breast-feeding or
extremely active.
Q: What are the best sources of protein?
A: A high-protein diet packed with meat increases
your risk for heart disease and cancer as much as smoking says one headline-grabbing University of Southern
California study. Munching more plant-based proteins,
such as nuts, quinoa and chia seeds, as well as lean
proteins, like salmon, ocean trout and skinless poultry,
is a better idea. That way, you'll avoid the high levels
of saturated fat found in red meat, pork and egg yolks,
along with heart-threatening carnitine. You'll also dodge
the sodium and nitrite preservatives in bacon, processed
meats and sausage that raise blood pressure, interfere
with healthy blood sugar and make arteries less flexible.
Q: Can a vegetarian get enough protein?
A: Yes! Compared to a typical, three-ounce serving of
beef, chicken or fish with 15-27 grams of protein, here's
how plant proteins stack up: 1 cup cooked lentils (18 g);
1/2 cup tofu (20 g); 1 cup cooked black beans (15 g); 1 cup
cooked quinoa (11 g); 2 tablespoons peanut butter (8 g);
1 cup cooked spinach or broccoli (about 5 g). Great idea:
Try going meatless on Mondays. Cook a pot of three-bean
chili, stir-fry tofu with your favorite veggies or tuck black
beans into a whole-wheat burrito topped with salsa,
sliced avocado and a dollop of no-sugar-added yogurt.
Q: Do I need to buy foods and drinks with added
protein?
A: Probably not, unless you're a hardcore body-build-
er or endurance athlete. Eating or sipping some protein
within two hours after a work-out fuels optimal muscle
recovery, but most of us get enough protein from a snack
or our next meal to do that.
Q: Does it matter when I eat or drink proteinpacked foods?
A: Yes. It's smart to have protein at every meal, rather
than skimping through the day and having a big serving
at dinner. You'll feel more satisfied (protein helps prevent
between-meal hunger pangs) and maintain strong, sexy
muscles.
