County mulls lower rates for LOIT

Who is Julie Stapel?

COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County Council members are tak-ing a revised version of a Public Safety Local Option Income Tax into consideration today.

The council recently denied the tax at the max rate of .25 percent, but some members said they were open to discussion on a lower rate.

At .25 percent, a resident mak-ing $40,000 in Whitley County, re-gardless of residency, would pay $100 more per year, or slightly more than $8 per month, in local taxes.

That rate would also provide the county with more than $1.2 million of much-needed funds to be spent strictly on public safety efforts.

Whitley County Auditor Jana

Schinbeckler prepared a spread-sheet with rates of .05, .1, .15 and .2 percent, and how much money each rate would produce.

Though funds can only be used for public safety, Columbia City, Churubusco, South Whitley and Larwill will also receive a portion of the generated funds on a by-population basis.

The purpose of the tax increase is to help the county’s lagging

General Fund get back on track.“I had talked to the Wabash

County auditor and we both had the same problem with the Gen-eral Fund hurting,” said Whitley County Auditor Jana Schinbeckler.

“A lot of other counties already have this in place.”

Before Tuesday morning’s hear-ing and vote, the town council of Columbia City, Churubusco, South Whitley and Larwill were

contacted and asked to conduct a “straw vote” so the county knows where each governmental body stands on the idea of a new income tax.

At the last hearing on Oct. 6, few members of the public were pres-ent for the LOIT discussion.

Nonetheless, Whitley County Council voted to a 3-3 tie, defeat-ing the motion for a .25 percent tax increase.

LOS ANGELES — The answer is: A Whitley Coun-ty native who will air on “Jeopardy!” this week.

The question: Who is Ju-lie Stapel?

Ever since viewing the TV game show “Jeopardy!” first aired decades ago, Stapel, who was in high school at the time, has had her sights set on being part of the show.

“I’ve wanted to be on the show ever since I saw it,” Stapel said.

She first applied to be on the show in 1992, and has been trying ever since.

In a few days, her dream will come true.

This time, Stapel started the application process by taking an online test — along with 100,000 other ap-plicants — in April.

In June, she was invited to Kansas City to take another test, then played a simulated game, then she was inter-viewed.

“You leave the interview and you don’t know if you’re going to be on the show or

‘Bachelor’ Ben appears in downtown Warsaw

Whitley Co. inmate, girlfriend charged with trafficking

WARSAW — One of the na-tion’s most popular reality TV series filmed a carnival scene in downtown Warsaw Sunday night.

ABC’s “The Bachelor” was ap-proved for filming in Warsaw last month, and has filmed sev-eral scenes with Ben Higgins, former Warsaw resident and current “Bachelor.”

Higgins was a recent contes-tant on “The Bachelorette” and currently lives in Colorado, but his family is reportedly still liv-ing in the Warsaw and Winona Lake area.

Hundreds of visitors packed the area around the Kosciusko County Courthouse Sunday night, where a carnival played host to a “hometown date” for Higgins and one of a few re-maining women “competing for his heart.”

Among the excited visitors was Whitko High School gradu-ate Christina Hoopingarner, a fan of the hit reality TV series.

“After seeing him in person

at the carnival, it just confirmed everything I thought was true from watching the show,” Hoop-ingarner said. “He truly seemed like a genuine and extremely kind guy, and I hope everything works out well for him.”

Those who wanted to be seen on TV when the show airs in January stood in line for an hour or more to sign releases from TV crews.

Cameramen filmed Higgins and his date, Amanda, as they enjoyed rides and games at the carnival. At each stop, a large crowd gathered around the cou-

COLUMBIA CITY — An inmate at the Whitley Coun-ty jail and his girlfriend face charges of trafficking with an inmate, a Level 5 felony.

John Severit, 29, of Colum-bia City, told his girlfriend, Jennifer Gamble, to mail syn-thetic marijuana to the jail in an envelope filled with pho-tos.

The drug was discovered by a confinement officer who was checking mail and dis-covered the substance hid-den in the fold of the enve-lope.

Once the drug was discov-ered, law enforcement lis-tened to several phone calls between Severit and Gamble.

Recordings of the calls re-vealed that Severit had in-structed Gamble on how to hide the substance within the envelope.

According to an officer’s report, Gamble, 42, also of Columbia City, told police Severit has a drug problem and she was just trying to help.

Severit is currently serving time as a habitual substance offender, and has been incar-cerated since June 16.

The two are both sched-uled to appear for pretrial conferences Nov. 23 at 9 a.m.

At this time, Gamble is held on a $20,000 surety bond.Stapel, Page A2

Lawmakers sign off on teacher shortage recommendations

Board expects to set ISTEP pass-fail marks this week

NORTH WEBSTER, Ind. (AP) — Authorities say a north-ern Indiana woman is recovering after being shot in the foot by her dog.

And the dog’s name? Trigger.Indiana Conservation Officer Jonathon Boyd says 25-year-

old Allie Carter of Avilla laid her 12-gauge shotgun on the ground without the safety on during a waterfowl hunt Sat-urday at Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area.

Boyd says Carter’s chocolate Labrador retriever, Trigger, stepped on top of the shotgun and depressed the trigger.

He says Carter was shot in the left foot at point-blank range, suffering injuries to her foot and toes. She was treated at two hospitals and released.

Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area is about 140 miles north of Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A legislative study com-mittee endorsed a series of steps Monday that would whittle away at the author-ity of teachers unions while attempting to address Indi-ana’s teacher shortage.

The recommendations forwarded to the full Leg-islature by the education study committee called for increasing educators’ pay, offering additional job train-ing and expanding mentor-ship programs. But they did not address key factors that Democratic state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz and her teachers union sup-porters say are behind the 33 percent drop in the number of teacher licenses issued since 2009.

“I’m really disappointed they haven’t acknowledged that they are sorry for unin-tended consequences from some of the bills they’ve passed,” said Indiana State

Teachers Association Presi-dent Teresa Meredith, refer-ring to education overhaul measures that have been adopted by the Republican-dominated Legislature in recent years, including stan-dardized testing of students and linking teacher pay raises to students’ test per-formance.

Republican legislators have disputed those argu-ments, pointing to similar shortages in other states that have not made the same education changes that In-diana has. And on Monday they pressed on their own ideas to address the short-age while ignoring calls by Democrats who sought a pause until a similar effort led by Ritz releases its own conclusions.

“We’re getting ahead of the game if we don’t know what their recommenda-tions are,” said Rep. Terri Jo Austin, D-Anderson.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The In-diana State Board of Education could vote this week on setting the minimum scores that students need to pass the ISTEP standardized tests they took last spring.

The board announced Monday that it will consider establishing the ISTEP

pass-fail marks during a meeting on Wednesday. That’s two weeks after the board put off a vote because of ques-tions over potential differences in dif-ficulty between the test’s online and paper versions.

Board vice chairwoman Sarah O’Brien says outside experts believe

adding a few bonus points to scores for the online version will equal them out.

The state is months behind the typi-cal schedule for giving schools and parents the results of the ISTEP exam. More than 400,000 students in grades three through eight took the test last spring.

not,” Stapel said. “They just told me that I could get a call anytime in the next 18 months.”

Staple got the call in Au-gust — she made it to the show.

“When I looked at my Caller ID and saw Sony Pic-ture Studio come up, I knew it couldn’t be for anything else,” Stapel said. “I was so excited.”

Stapel participated in the game show in Los Angeles, but has been sworn to secre-cy on the results.

Her show is set for Thurs-day night’s airing, but due to Thursday night’s NFL football game, the show will be aired at 2:37 a.m. on Friday morning.

With only 400 people per year making it on the show, it was a dream come true for Stapel.

Stapel is the daughter of well-known local physician Dr. Jim Stapel and longtime educator Margaret Malcolm,

who is on the ballot for Co-lumbia City Common Coun-cil in the Nov. 3 election.

Stapel is a Columbia City High School graduate, and attributes her academic suc-cess to Whitley County Con-solidated Schools.

“I think that in my whole life, the education I got at WCCS was key,” Stapel said. “I have absolutely had as good of an education as the people I’ve met from bigger cities, even if they had more resources.”

Stapel said she loves any-thing to do with the English language, and her all-time favorite teachers were Bob Brittain and Laurie Steill.

“For others interested in trying out, my best advice is to read a lot — read ev-erything,” she said. “That’s probably what helped me the most. I’m reading some-thing all the time. I’ve never passed a historical marker that I haven’t stopped to read.”

UN agency links hot dogs and other processed meat to cancer

PARIS (AP) — Bacon, hot dogs and cold cuts are under fire: The World Health Organization threw its global weight behind years of experts’ warnings and declared Monday that processed meats raise the risk of colon and stomach can-cer and that red meat is probably harmful, too.

Meat producers are angry, vegetarians are feeling vindicated, and cancer experts are wel-coming the most com-prehensive pronounce-ment yet on the relation between our modern meat-eating lifestyles and cancer.

The WHO’s Inter-national Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, analyzed decades of research and for the first time put processed meats in the same danger category as smoking or asbestos.

Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Zumbrun, 86Nov. 15, 1928 — Oct. 24, 2015

Elizabeth L. “Betty” Zumbrun, 86, of Columbia City passed away peacefully at 5:24 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015 at Kingston at DuPont, Fort Wayne. Betty was born Nov. 15, 1928 in Kokomo, Howard County, the daughter of Gilbert Bryan and Florence (Summers) Harvey.

Betty lived in several locations as a child, including Bloomfield, Mich., and Kokomo prior to moving to Co-lumbia City. When she was a young girl she loved to sing and tap dance as her mother would play the piano. One unusual thing: as a very small child she loved to sweep and clean with her mother. This trait carried on throughout her life-time. She was known to have an all-white home décor with touches of peach and mint, her two favorite colors. Like so many teenagers in Whitley County, Happy Valley Skating Rink was the place to be the 1940s, so was the case with Betty Harvey when she met a young handsome man by the name of James William Truman. Later she married Jim, the love of her life on Sept. 20, 1947 in Collins.

After graduating from high school, she first worked at Blue Bell, Columbia City, then was employed at General Electric and Wolf & Dessauer, both in Fort Wayne. From 1960 to 1971, she was employed at Dana Corporation, Fort Wayne.

She was married to Robert L. Zumbrun on July 15, 1973 in Las Vegas. She was the bookkeeper for Morsches Lumber Company from the early 1970s until her retirement in 1994. Betty made the perfect bookkeeper with her mathemati-cal skills and attention to details. She enjoyed bowling and was on a ladies league for many years. In Betty’s later years she loved to golf and was a member of Tippecanoe Coun-try Club. She and her husband Bob, spent many winters in Deltona, Fla.

Her memberships included Columbia City United Meth-odist Church where she was a former choir member; Delta Theta Tau; a 50-year member of Order of Eastern Star and in 1965 she was the grand representative to the Nebraska convention. She was one of the founders of Jobs Daughters. Betty’s positive attitude and warm smile always drew folks close to her.

Among survivors are her son, Barry A. (Kathy) Truman, Columbia City; two step-daughters, Mary June (Dan) Av-ery, Fort Wayne and Jerry Lynn McGhghy, Fowler, Ill.; six grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; several step-grandchildren; and one sister, Viv-ian Dean (Lee) Coulter, Pensecola, Fla.

She was preceded in death by her husbands, James Wil-liam Truman in 1968 and Robert L. Zumbrun in 2009; one son, Bryan Lee Truman in 2008; one brother, Everett Har-vey; and one sister, Alma June Warnock.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27 at DeMoney-Grimes, a Life Story Funeral Home, 600 Coun-tryside Dr., Columbia City. A twilight memorial service will be conducted by Order of Eastern Star, Columbia City at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28 at the funeral home with Pastor David Arnold officiating. Interment will follow at Christian Cha-pel Cemetery, Merriam.

Memorial bequests may be given in Betty’s name to the Columbia City United Methodist Church.

Miami of Indiana trying to win back recognition as tribe

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 27,the 300th day of 2015. There are 65 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlightin History:On Oct. 27, 1787, the first of

the Federalist Papers, a series of essays calling for ratifica-tion of the United States Con-stitution, was published.

On this date:In 1858, the 26th president

of the United States, Theo-dore Roosevelt, was born in New York City.

In 1954, U.S. Air Force Col. Benjamin O. Davis Jr. was promoted to brigadier general, the first black of-ficer to achieve that rank in the USAF. Walt Disney’s first television program, titled “Disneyland” after the yet-to-be completed theme park, premiered on ABC.

In 1962, during the Cu-ban Missile Crisis, a U-2 re-connaissance aircraft was shot down while flying over Cuba, killing the pilot, U.S. Air Force Maj. Rudolf Ander-son Jr.

In 2004, the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4, 3-0.

Ten years ago: White House counsel Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to the Supreme Court after three weeks of brutal criticism from fellow conservatives. As many Floridians contin-ued to struggle to find food, water and fuel in the wake of Hurricane Wilma, President George W. Bush visited the state to inspect the damage. Tropical Storm Beta formed in the Caribbean Sea, becom-ing the 23rd tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Five years ago: Dozens of Jewish extremists hoist-ing Israeli flags defiantly marched through the Arab-Israeli town of Umm el-Fahm, chanting “death to terrorists” and touching off clashes between rock-hurling residents and police. Former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner died at age 60. The San Francisco Giants won the first game of the World Series, defeating the Texas Rangers 11-7.

One year ago: The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend-ed new restrictions for people at highest risk for coming

down with the Ebola virus and symptom monitoring for those at lower risk. Toronto elected John Tory, a moder-ate conservative, as the new mayor, ending the scandal-ridden Rob Ford era.

Andrea Neal is a teacher at St. Rich-ard’s Episcopal School in Indianapolis and adjunct scholar with the Indiana Policy Review Foundation. This is one in a series of essays by Neal that lead to the celebration of the Indiana Bicen-tennial in December 2016.

By ANDREA NEALINDIANAPOLIS (HSPA) — In

1897, an assistant attorney general made a legal error that cost the Mi-ami Nation of Indiana their federal recognition as a tribe. They’ve been fighting ever since to win it back.

“Our people are as upset now as they were 100 years ago,” declares

Chief Brian Buchanan.It’s a story that began not long

after Indiana achieved statehood, when settlers came flooding into the state with their eyes on land already occupied by Potawatomi, Delaware, Miami and other Indian nations. The government’s formal policy was removal. Under the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and a succession of treaties, Indiana’s Native Americans were pushed westward to present-day Kansas and Oklahoma.

The Miami fought to stay in Indiana during the 19th century and were split in two when the

U.S. government forcibly removed about half of them in 1846.

Under an 1840 treaty, the Miami ceded virtually all of their com-monly held land in exchange for $550,000 in annuity payments.

Through this treaty and earlier ones, several individual Miami were awarded land, and they and their families were exempted from removal, forming the nucleus of the Miami Nation of Indiana.

Those sent to Kansas eventually relocated to Oklahoma and today are called the Miami Tribe of Okla-homa, one of 566 federally recog-nized tribes.

For decades the Miami of In-diana were treated by the gov-ernment like their western coun-terparts. Immediately following removal, Miami lands in Indiana were illegally taxed.

Hoping to recover past pay-ments, they appealed to the De-partment of the Interior. The case was referred to Assistant Attorney General Willis Van Devanter, a Hoosier who would go on to be-come a Supreme Court justice.

As part of his decision on the tax case, Van Devanter concluded that the Indiana Miami were “no lon-ger a tribe” under a law called the

Dawes Act and were U.S. citizens, thus ineligible for tribal recogni-tion.

Within four decades of his deci-sion, the remaining Miami lands in Indiana virtually disappeared. Indiana Miami could no longer attend federal Indian schools, ex-ercise treaty rights or continue many important cultural practices, including speaking their language.

In 1978, the Department of the Interior set up a new process for acknowledging Indian tribes. The Miami applied for recognition but

were denied on grounds they could not prove continuous existence of a tribal community with functioning political system. The Miami challenged the ruling in court without success. They also asked Congress for legislation restoring their tribal rights but failed.

The Miami today operate on a barebones budget, sus-tained largely by private donations and bingo nights at the Tribal Complex in the old Peru High School building. The tribe’s identity as a sovereign nation is intact. Tribal coun-cil meets monthly and holds general meetings open to the public. Annual powwow is every June at the Miami Living Village in Parke County.

Dr. Scott M. Shoemaker, director of the tribe’s cultural and historic preservation office, says teaching the once dormant “Myaamia” language has been a recent focus. Buchanan says members will continue to do what they can to win back their tribal recognition. He invites fellow Hoosiers to join in the struggle by contacting their congressional representatives and by attending or financially supporting the many events sponsored by the Miami each year.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Chicago company that now runs the Amtrak line between Indianapolis and Chicago has big plans for the route.

Iowa Pacific Holdings has already has added free Wi-Fi, improved dining options and more than doubled the number of passengers it can accommodate.

It hopes to add more trains, and company presi-dent Edwin Ellis told The Indianapolis Star that he en-visions trains going between

Chicago and Indianapolis 14 times a day.

The train currently runs just once a day from India-napolis to Chicago and back. Ellis said he's convinced adding trains would attract more passengers.

"You need to be able to go to the station to catch a train and, if you miss it, you can get another," Ellis said.

"The trains need to leave on a regular basis and be convenient."

Iowa Pacific is in the first year of a contract with the

Indiana Department of Transportation and Amtrak. The trains are still run by Amtrak engineers, and Iowa Pacific furnishes and main-tains train cars, among other duties.

Before the contract was reached over the summer, the Hoosier State train route was in danger of going out of business because of funding problems.

Also a federal ruling

would have required the In-diana Department of Trans-portation to operate the line, but members of Congress from Indiana convinced fed-eral officials to waive the rule.

The contract calls for the Indiana transportation de-partment to pay $254,527 a month to subsidize the train through June 2017.

A combined $21,194 would be paid by Tippeca-

noe County and the cities of Crawfordsville, Lafayette, Rensselaer and West Lafay-ette.

Adding trains would re-quire help from taxpayers. Ellis said new tracks would be needed so that trains can pass each other, with a "large capital investment" required.

Iowa Pacific and transpor-tation department officials would also have to talk to the tracks' owner, CSX, be-

fore new trains are added. Transportation department spokesman Will Wingfield said the agency and CSX have had informal talks about improving speed and frequency.

CSX spokeswoman Gail Lobin said in statement that the company "would be pleased to participate in the process to review and evalu-ate the opportunity" of add-ing passenger service.

Hundreds of fans gathered at the entrance of the carnival in downtown Warsaw Sunday night to see “The Bachelor” and local native Ben Higgins on his “quest to find true love.”

ple to catch a glimpse of the popular duo, or to perhaps appear briefly on national TV.

“I am excited to see this season air and, of course, excited to see if I can point myself out in the back-ground!” exclaimed Hoop-ingarner.

Before the carnival, scenes for the show were also filmed at Rex’s Rendez-vous on Friday, along with scenes at Winona Lake and the Baker Youth Club.

At each filming location, the people of Warsaw have shown up to support the lo-cal native.

“Evenings like last night is one of the reasons why I love the small towns we live in so much,” Hoopingarner

said. “The compassion, love and support is very real, and I am glad I was able to be a part of that support for Ben and have fun at the car-nival.”

Reportedly, the final event to take place in Warsaw will be filmed tonight at the Kos-ciusko County Courthouse and could be a rose cer-emony, where Higgins will eliminate two women from the competition.

North Buffalo Street and West Main Street near the Courthouse will again be closed in Warsaw from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Though streets will be closed, sidewalks will re-main open while the crews film the final Warsaw scenes.

Colts a mess as they lose Dorsett to injury

Bulls open Hoiberg era with PG Rose in starting lineup

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts coach Chuck Pagano made his thoughts perfectly clear again Mon-day.

He believes in his team and he’s still looking for solutions to the turnovers and penalties that have ruined the first half of Indianapolis’ season.

Of course, Pagano has been using the same mantra since a shocking Week 1 loss at Buffalo and it seems to have made little impact. The same problems that plagued them then continue to derail what many considered a potential Super Bowl season.

“That’s very frustrating, very frustrating,” tight end Dwayne Al-len said less than 24 hours after a 27-21 loss to New Orleans. “Give the Saints credit, they played well, but a lot of it is on us.”

The problems have been glaring.Andrew Luck missed the first

two games of his career with an injured throwing shoulder and still doesn’t look right. He has the third-lowest passer rating among quali-fied quarterbacks and has already thrown nine interceptions. Indy’s runners are averaging a solid 4.3 yards per carry but playing catch-up has forced the Colts (3-4) into

the second-fewest rushing attempts (153) among teams that haven’t yet had a bye.

The questionable offensive line, which was not significantly ad-dressed during the offseason, went into Week 7 with a league-high 16 holding penalties and drew three more against New Orleans. Two were declined.

The hits haven’t stopped, either. After benching their opening-day starting guards, Todd Herremans and Lance Louis, and moving Jack Mewhort from right tackle back to left guard, the Saints sacked Luck four times and hit him 10 times.

Defensively, the Colts have looked better against the run but are ranked No. 26 in yards allowed. They haven’t found a consistent pass rush and have spent most of the season playing musical chairs in the secondary.

Not surprisingly, Indy is below .500 in late October for the first time since 2011. And they visit unbeaten Carolina next Monday night as they try to prevent the first three-game losing streak of Pagano’s tenure.

“We’re exactly opposite of what we want to be,” backup quarter-back Matt Hasselbeck said. “We want to be a team near the top of

the league in turnover margin and we’re not. We’re probably near the bottom of the league. We’re still in it, we still can have a great season, but we’ve got to start playing bet-ter.”

The 40-year-old Hasselbeck was 2-0 as the starter, and if Luck’s struggles continue there could be a debate over whether Luck should be given more rest.

General manager Ryan Grig-son is under fire for bad some bad moves such as the Trent Richardson trade, several free-agent busts and not doing enough to fortify the of-fensive line.

CHICAGO (AP) — When he took the Chicago Bulls' coaching job last June, Fred Hoiberg saw a chance to compete for a championship.

Now, it's time to see if that vision becomes a reality.The Bulls begin a new era under Hoiberg with Rose in

the lineup when they host LeBron James and the Cleve-land Cavaliers in Tuesday's opener.

Gone is hard-driving, defensive-oriented coach Tom Thibodeau. In his place is the freewheeling Hoiberg, with a fast-paced offense and an approach that manage-ment hopes will preserve the team for the stretch run.

"I feel very fortunate to be in this position, to come to a team that we feel can be very competitive," said Hoi-berg, who came to Chicago after a five-year run at Iowa State that produced four straight NCAA appearances and back-to-back Big 12 tournament titles. "If we do ev-erything right, we'll be competing at the highest level."

With stars such as Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol, he sees himself succeeding where other coaches who have made the leap from colleges to the NBA did not.

The Bulls made the playoffs all five years under Thibodeau and might have even won a championship had Rose been able to stay healthy. That story has been told and retold, and it is only fitting that as Hoiberg pre-pares for his NBA coaching debut, Rose is working his way back from yet another operation.

Notre Dame depending on Jackson as a leaderSOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) —

Notre Dame is counting on point guard Demetrius Jackson to do a lot this season.

Coach Mike Brey wants the 6-foot-1 guard from nearby Mishawaka to be a playmaker, the top defender, hit clutch shots and fill the leader-ship void left by the graduations of Pat Connaughton and Jerian Grant, who guided the Fighting Irish to

one of the program’s best seasons.“No question, it’s Demetrius

Jackson’s team,” Brey said. “It’s his voice. He loves it. He welcomes it and I’m thrilled he’s so confident in that position.”

Jackson is eager to accept the role, although he concedes he’s still ad-justing to the role as team leader.

“I feel like I’m still in that process. Guys are still getting more confident

in my day by day,” he said. “I’m just trying to develop my leadership skills and get better.”

The Irish finished 32-6 last sea-son, beating Duke and North Caro-lina during back-to-back nights to win the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in just their second season in the league. Notre Dame advanced to an NCAA Tournament regional final for the first time since

1979 and was a missed last-second shot by Grant against top-ranked Kentucky away from advancing to the Final Four for the second time in school history.

Jackson said the Irish believe they can build on that success.

“We know what it feels like, so now we just have to take it to the next level and learn from all the things we did last year,” he said.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Chris Johnson rolled his way to a big play, Joe Flacco couldn’t quite respond with one of his own.

And the Arizona Cardinals es-caped with a 26-18 victory over the luckless Baltimore Ravens on Mon-day night.

Johnson rushed for 122 yards, 62 on a play where he rolled over the belly of a big defender and kept on running to set up a field goal.

Baltimore (1-6) drove to the 4 in the final seconds before Tony Jefferson’s interception deep in the end zone clinched the victory for NFC West-leading Arizona (5-2).

Arizona led 26-10 before Asa Jack-son’s blocked a punt to set up Joe Flacco’s 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk. The 2-point conver-sion pass to Nick Boyle made it an

eight-point game with 4:26 to play.Baltimore got the ball back and

Flacco quickly moved the team downfield before the final ill-fated throw.

“The punt block and all of a sud-den you let them in,” Arizona’s Car-son Palmer said, “but that’s what you want on ‘Monday Night Football.’ We made it a game at the end.”

The eight-point loss was the most one-sided of the season for the Ra-vens.

Johnson also ran 26 yards for a touchdown. The 30-year-old running back, signed late in training camp af-ter recovering from a gunshot wound during the offseason, topped 100 yards for the third time this season and didn’t even play in the fourth quarter. The last Arizona player to do that was Edgerrin James in 2007.

Palmer completed 20 of 29 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns. Flacco was 26 for 40 for 252 yards, with a touchdown and that one in-terception. The Ravens’ Justin Forsett had a 14-yard touchdown run but finished with only 36 yards in 12 car-ries.

A 26-10 lead seemed comfortable before Bryant burst up the middle to block Drew Butler’s punt to set up the final Ravens touchdown.

The play of the night came in the third quarter, when Johnson hit the line and was pulled down, but he came to rest on the belly of 6-foot-1, 335-pound Brandon Williams. John-son’s knee or elbow didn’t touch, so he alertly got up and kept running to the 4. The play set up Chandler Cat-anzaro’s second 21-yard field goal, making it a two-possession game at

20-10.After Arizona scored again, Catan-

zaro’s try for the conversion bounced off the right upright and was no good, setting the stage for the tight finish. The only turnover of night, be-fore Jefferson’s interception, led to a touchdown that put the Cardinals up 14-10 at the half and Arizona never trailed again.

Baltimore, leading 10-7, forced a punt late in the second quarter.

Justin Bethel, a Pro Bowl player on special teams the last two years, stripped the ball from punt returner Jeremy Ross’ hands and recovered at the Ravens 25. Penalties gave Ari-zona a series of chances inside the 5 and, finally, Palmer threw 3 yards to Michael Floyd for the score to put Arizona up 10-7 with 1:01 left in the half.

GENEVA (AP) — Deadline day to enter the FIFA presiden-tial election saw surprise en-tries and a potential eight-man lineup on Monday.

Among late tactical chang-es, two unexpected additions were Gianni Infantino — the right-hand man of suspended UEFA President Michel Platini, whose own entry will likely be barred — and Liberian soc-cer leader Musa Bility, whose campaign seemed hopelessly stalled in August.

The list of contenders to suc-ceed Sepp Blatter leading the corruption-hit world soccer governing body grew longer than expected and will surely be cut before the Feb. 26 ballot.

A further twist stopped the race reaching nine as a former FIFA secretary general, Michel Zen-Ruffinen, told The As-sociated Press he decided not to run despite getting the re-quired nominations from five of the 209 member federations.

Just over one month ago, Platini was a strong front-run-ner in a small field with key backers in Asia and the Ameri-cas.

That changed Sept. 25 when the former France great was implicated in a Swiss criminal investigation. Platini got a sus-pected "disloyal payment" of $2 million in backdated salary from FIFA funds got in 2011 with Blatter's approval.

This one was to repair a fractured left orbital he suf-fered on the first day of prac-tice, an injury that was not as serious as the torn ACL in his left knee or the torn me-niscus in his right knee that derailed the Bulls in recent seasons.

The good news for the Bulls is that Hoiberg said the

former MVP point guard will start without any minute re-strictions against Cleveland. That was news to Rose, who had not been told. Either way, Hoiberg said the Bulls will still be careful with his playing time given that he missed almost the entire pre-season.

Rose insists he is ready,

even with only one good eye."I was playing with one

eye, and you can't tell that I was playing with one eye," he said. "In any profession, that's just like you all with having just one arm or one hand, something like that, and typing. If you're able to do it, you're able to do it. If not, you've got to sit down."

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Hours before leav-ing for their longest road trip of the season, the Detroit Li-ons shook up their offensive coaching staff.

Detroit fired offensive co-ordinator Joe Lombardi and line coaches Jeremiah Wash-burn and Terry Heffernan on Monday, a day after the team dropped another game in a listless performance against the Minnesota Vikings. The Lions announced the moves

shortly before they were sup-posed to depart for London, where they'll play next week-end against the Kansas City Chiefs.

"It's not a good day. It's a tough day," coach Jim Caldwell said. "I've been in this position myself three times, and it's happened to me, and it's certainly not fun."

Caldwell said the staff changes were his decision, and he had not spoken with ownership.

"I'm sure they're support-ive," he said.

Quarterbacks coach Jim Bob Cooter is taking over as offensive coordinator, and tight ends coach Ron Prince will now coach the offensive line. Assistant special teams coach Devin Fitzsimmons will now work with tight ends.

The Lions are also giving running backs coach Curtis Modkins the added title of run game coordinator.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — T.J. Lang's knee feels good, and the veteran right guard feels even better about his Green Bay Pack-ers coming off a much-needed, get-healthy bye week and heading into Sunday night's showdown with the Denver Broncos.

Lang was one of many Packers who wel-comed the bye, although he did not miss the team's Oct. 18 victory over San Diego like many of his injured teammates did. When the team returned to work Monday for a practice in pads, wide receiver Da-vante Adams (ankle), nose tackle B.J. Raji (groin), safety Morgan Burnett (calf) and outside linebacker Nick Perry (shoulder/hand) were all back on the field after not

playing against the Chargers."You definitely have to be very optimistic,

knowing that we feel we haven't played up to our full potential as a team yet, but we're sitting here at 6-0," Lang said. "Obviously a lot of momentum on our side, a lot of con-fidence, and getting a couple key guys back for us this week is going to be huge."

Only two players were sidelined Mon-day: rookie wide receiver Ty Montgomery, who suffered an ankle injury against San Diego, and running back James Starks, who ran for 112 yards against the Char-gers. Starks' injury is unknown, as the team isn't required to issue an injury report until Wednesday.

The World Series, starts Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium:

FIRST BASEMets: Lucas Duda. A streaky slug-ger with a good eye when he’s going well, the quiet Duda was given an everyday job early last sea-son over Ike Davis in a wise evalu-ation by the Mets. Duda has deliv-ered on that promise of big power, with 57 homers and 165 RBIs over the past two years.Royals: Eric Hosmer. The two-time Gold Glove winner finally became the middle-of-the-order force the Royals were hoping for when they drafted him third overall in 2008. He set career highs of 93 RBIs and 98 runs this season while raising his batting average nearly 30 points to .297. Edge: Even.

SECOND BASEMets: Daniel Murphy. Always a good contact hitter, Murphy worked all year on generating more power. . The 2014 All-Star, who can become a free agent next month, has hom-ered in a record six consecutive postseason games. He batted .529 (9 for 17) against the Chicago Cubs to win NLCS MVP honors, and is hitting .421 with seven homers and 11 RBIs in nine postseason games overall. Murphy can be shaky on the bases and in the field, but his all-around performance in the playoffs was spectacular.Royals: Ben Zobrist. A trade-deadline acquisition from Oakland, Zobrist took over at second base down the stretch when Omar Infante went out with an oblique injury in mid-September. Zobrist has had an impressive postseason, hitting .325 through the first two rounds, includ-ing four doubles and two homers in the ALCS. He has World Series experience with Tampa Bay in 2008.Edge: Mets. Murphy is on a roll.

SHORTSTOPMets: Wilmer Flores. Nearly traded in late July, he began the season as the starter and took over again in the playoffs when Ruben Tejada broke his leg on a late takeout slide by Chase Utley of the Dodgers. Flores had 16 homers this year and delivered several clutch hits. He’s liited on defense but has been more consistent since his early-season struggles.Royals: Alcides Escobar. A pest in the leadoff spot and a whiz with the glove, Escobar has blossomed this October. He likes to swing early in the count, and he set a record with hits to start four straight playoff games in one series. The ALCS MVP, Escobar is the postseason hits leader with 17, one more than

Murphy.Edge: Royals. Escobar is on a roll.

THIRD BASEMets: David Wright. The longest-tenured active player in the majors with one team, Wright has finally reached the World Series. The team captain fought through vari-ous injuries during a string of los-ing seasons. Sidelined more than four months this year because of a strained hamstring and spinal ste-nosis, Wright hit a titanic homer in late August on his first major league swing since mid-April, and remains an important piece of the puzzle for New York. After going 1 for 16 with seven strikeouts in the NLDS, he picked it up against the Cubs.Royals: Mike Moustakas.The 27-year-old “Moose” took a big step forward at the plate this season. The second overall draft pick in 2007 earned his first All-Star selection in his fifth season and set career highs in most major offensive categories, but aside from his homer in Game 6 of the ALCS, Moustakas struggled in the first two rounds.Edge: Mets.

CATCHERMets: Travis d’Arnaud. He was acquired from Toronto in a trade.Throwing and game-calling are not necessarily strengths, but d’Arnaud frames pitches very well. He has power to all fields and batted .206 with three homers and six RBIs in nine playoff games.Royals: Salvador Perez. The big catcher earned his third straight All-Star nod and should be a favorite for his third Gold Glove in a row. Banged up in the first two rounds, Perez kept playing and hitting balls over the fence. He had only three hits in the ALCS but two were hom-ers. He also connected twice in the Division Series and has six RBIs overall.Edge: Royals

LEFT FIELDMets: Yoenis Cespedes. Acquired from Detroit Cespedes gives the Mets the powerful right-handed bat they desperately needed in the mid-dle of the lineup. A legitimate five-tool player with a rocket arm, he helped New York pull away in the NL East by going on a tear at the plate. But the Cuban star received a cortisone shot for his sore left shoul-der after the NLCS finale. He says he’ll be ready for Game 1.Royals: Alex Gordon. Played only 104 games this season because of a severe groin injury. One of the game’s best defensive outfielders, he’s also a potent bat in the 8-hole for a deep Royals lineup.

Edge: Mets, if Cespedes is healthy.

CENTER FIELDMets: Juan Lagares. A Gold Glove winner last season, Lagares lost his everyday job because of his strug-gles against right-handed pitching. . Kansas City has all right-handers in the rotation, but with the DH in play, Lagares could be a starter in the expansive outfield at Kauffman Stadium. He’s done well in his pla-toon role this postseason, too.Royals: Lorenzo Cain. Showed off his speed in scoring the most impor-tant run of the ALCS — a dash home from first base on a single for the go-ahead run in the clinching Game 6. Cain topped last season’s breakout year, adding 16 homers to a .307 average with 28 steals. The first-time All-Star hit .300, stole two bases and drove in five runs vs. the Blue Jays, all while showing off his extraordinary range in the outfield.Edge: Royals.

RIGHT FIELDMets: Curtis Granderson. In his second season with the team, Granderson filled a huge hole in the leadoff spot. He hit 26 homers, scored 98 runs and drew 91 walks in finishing with a .364 on-base percentage and 70 RBIs. In the playoffs, he stole four bases, had a five-RBI game. Granderson has World Series experience, when he made it in 2006 with Detroit.Royals: Alex Rios. An offseason acquisition to replace Nori Aoki, the 34-year-old Rios batted .368 with a home run in the ALCS. Got caught on replay with his foot off the base on one of his pop-up slides and nearly got nabbed again during the series against Toronto.Edge: Mets.

DESIGNATED HITTERMets: Michael Conforto or Kelly Johnson. Drafted just last year and called up from Double-A, the 22-year-old Conforto immediately showed he could handle big league pitching. Displaying power to all fields and advanced skills at the plate, he batted .270 with nine homers and 26 RBIs in 56 games. Conforto, who hasn’t faced much left-handed pitching, went 1 for 15 with a home run in the playoffs. He could remain the starter in left field against the Royals if New York keeps Lagares on the bench.Johnson was acquired from Atlanta on the same day Conforto was called up. A veteran pro at the plate, Johnson provides experience and potential sock from the left side.Royals: Kendrys Morales. Signed after the Royals declined their con-

tract option on Billy Butler, Morales had 22 homers and 106 RBIs with a .290 average during the regular season and hit four more long balls during the playoffs.Edge: Royals.

STARTING PITCHERSMets: They’re young, they throw hard and they have imposing nicknames. New York’s fearsome foursome of Matt Harvey (The Dark Knight), Jacob deGrom (the deGrominator), Syndergaard (Thor) and Steven Matz is polished beyond their years. The steady poise and nasty stuff they’ve shown in the postseason has been something special. Harvey will start Game 1 in Kansas City, all that uproar about his innings limit a thing of the past. He went 13-8 with a 2.71 ERA in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. He shut down the Cubs in the NLCS opener and won both his playoff starts. Last season’s NL Rookie of the Year, deGrom gets Game 2. He was 14-8 with a 2.54 ERA before going 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in three postseason outings. Syndergaard (9-7, 3.24) hits 100 mph with his fastball and even made his first career relief appearance in Game 5 of the division Series. Fellow rookie Matz, the Long Island lefty who grew up a Mets fan hasn’t been asked to go very deep in his two postseason assignments. The team thinks so highly of him, it pegged him for the October rotation after only six major league starts (4-0, 2.27). The group has combined

for 147 career regular-season starts, by far the fewest for a World Series foursome. New York threw 5,752 pitches clocked at 95 mph or faster this season, Kansas City ranked sec-ond with 4,315.Royals: The starting staff is the weakest aspect of the sound Royals. Yordano Ventura became a star dur-ing last year’s postseason and was the team’s opening-day starter, but the flame-thrower struggled with his control and was briefly demoted to the minors this season. He’s been inconsistent in October, brilliant at times and beatable at others. Free-agent signee Edinson Volquez had his second 13-win season in a row, after one with Pittsburgh. Volquez tossed six shutout innings in the ALCS opener, then fell apart in the sixth inning of a Game 5 loss. The big trade-deadline arrival, Johnny Cueto, has been perplexing. He was 4-7 with a 4.76 ERA in 13 starts for Kansas City, then went out and was nearly untouchable in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series vs. Houston before having one of the worst starts of his career in Game 3 of the ALCS. Chris Young, the 6-foot-10 Princeton grad, got the call in Game 4 after a long layoff and was superb for 4 2-3 innings.Edge: Mets.

BULLPENMets: Closer Jeurys Familia has been invaluable in the ninth inning — and sometimes earlier. He earned 43 saves this season, matching the franchise record, and finished with

a 1.85 ERA in 76 appearances. Then he saved five games in eight scoreless outings during the NL playoffs, getting six outs to protect a one-run lead in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series. Seventh-inning reliever Addison Reed has been lights-out when entering with nobody on, but ineffective when inheriting runners. Experienced setup man Tyler Clippard is an accomplished All-Star, but hasn’t been at his best lately. Beyond that, the Mets have hard-throwing rookie Hansel Robles and two starters in the bullpen: lefty Jonathon Niese and 42-year-old Bartolo Colon. They’ve been effective when called upon in October, but this isn’t the deepest bullpen. Royals: Wade Davis showed in that nerve-racking ninth inning of ALCS Game 6 that he has the stomach and the stuff of a top closer. Davis stepped in last month to replace Greg Holland, who had Tommy John surgery. With the return of Luke Hochevar from elbow surgery and the addition of reclamation proj-ect Ryan Madson, the Royals’ beast of a bullpen might be just as good as last year’s crew. Kelvin Herrera, Davis and Hochevar were unscored upon against Toronto. Danny Duffy and Franklin Morales are the left-handers who could be called on to contain New York’s dangerous left-handed hitters.Edge: Royals.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana waived veteran guard Toney Douglas and rookie for-ward Terran Petteway on Mon-day to get down to the NBA's 15-player roster limit.

Douglas played in five pre-season games with the Pacers and averaged 6.6 points and 1.6 assists.

He signed as a free agent in August after spending last season in New Orleans. The 6-foot-2 guard also had played with New York, Houston, Mi-ami, Golden State and Sacra-mento. He averaged 7.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his first six NBA seasons.

Petteway, the 6-foot-6 former Nebraska star, was signed Sun-day.

COLUMBIA CITY — Forty-three members and two guests met for the monthly meeting of the Whitley County Country Quilters at the end of Septem-ber.

The roll call response was what color would members pair with black and white fabric for a quilt, with red being the most popular color.

During the meeting, crayons were passed out along with a square of fabric for the “Quilt Block Challenge.” Participants were to return to the October meeting with a 9.5-inch block created from the provided fab-ric, fabric the color of their cray-on and white fabric if needed. Members were also to bring two poor unfinished projects (PUPS) to the October meeting along with their sad tales. Members

voted to decide which of the two PUPS must be completed in time for the November meeting.

Quilters were encouraged to enter the Quilt Show at the 4-H Center Saturday, Nov. 7. Details were discussed regarding cat-egories, entry fee and drop off/pick up. Information for the Tuesday, Dec. 1 guild Christmas party was shared. The guild will gather at the home of Sarah Graber at 6 p.m. for dinner and fellowship. Everyone is to bring a fat quarter of Christmas fabric to share. Cost is $20 and due by the November meeting.

The guild will meet tonight at 6 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church, 204 N. Main St., Co-lumbia City. Quilters are invited to come at 4 p.m. for sewing and visiting. New and experienced quilters are welcome to attend.

Dear Heloise: You were correct to warn about the NIGERIAN COMPUTER SCAMS. The other “big-gie” is the email from someone you know, saying they are in Europe with no passport, no credit cards, etc. I got this from a friend who is a “road warrior” and constantly travels all over the world, so it was a possibility. I wrote back: “Dear Paul, I’ll be glad to send some money. Just tell me where we met and who was there.” It was a question I knew he could answer, and one that asked for information not in any file on his com-puter. Sure enough, the scammer never con-tacted me again. — Michael R., Kenosha, Wis. Oh yes, the “Help, I’ve been robbed, no passport, money, etc.” trick! But hey, I have access to a computer? And some informa-tion on how you can send me money? Yep, I’ve gotten them, too. Here is what I do: I copy and paste the email into a new one, send it to my friend (who is NOT out of the country) and say, “You’ve been hacked!” REALLY, folks, think about it. Wouldn’t your friend call, even if collect? I know I sure would. — Heloise P.S.: DO NOT become a victim of this type of scam. Stop and think!

PUMPKIN DECORATIONS Dear Heloise: Through the years, I have collected several artificial jack-o’-lantern pumpkins to decorate with. After Halloween, I turn them around and enjoy them with some additional Thanksgiving decorations. — Deb, via email

SAFEKEEPING Dear Heloise: Don’t toss old eyeglass

cases. I have a garage-door opener and wanted to keep it out of view. It fit per-fectly into an old glasses case. I also have a portable cellphone charger in my purse. I slipped it and the cords into an old eyeglass case, and I can always find it. — Joan H., an Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald reader in Iowa

JEWELRY ORGANIZER Dear Heloise: I love jewelry. I have a lot and have wanted to organize it on trays, label it and be more efficient at finding the jewelry I am looking for. I had an epiphany: I had inherited an antique music stand, solid oak with seven shelves inside (to shelve sheet music). I used insulated foam picnic trays lined with felt, and voila! I started separating and grouping the sets (silver/pearls/turquoise/costume) onto the felt. There was room for one tray and one ice-cube tray on each shelf. — Corrinne B., Universal City, Texas

STORING CANDLES Dear Heloise: I love to burn votive can-dles, and I stock up when they’re on sale. I use strawberry containers to store them. Most hold seven to eight, and since they are plastic, I can see what scents I have. They are small enough that I keep one in each room where I might want to burn a candle. I use raspberry containers to hold scent-ed tarts — they are see-through but flat. — Reba B., via email Good hint, but please don’t burn one and leave a room! — Heloise 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@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. ©2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Dear Annie: My father has a bunch of serious medical prob-lems. We’ve never been close. Dad was a heavy drinker and always yelled at me. He was extremely rude, critical, sarcastic and angry all the time, for no reason. Once, he threw me out of a slow-moving car. I’ve attempted suicide three times, and Dad refused to visit me in the hospital. I’m still angry about this.

I suspect he could pass away soon, and I would like to have some mean-ingful dialogues before that happens. I also have a terrible secret I’d like to tell him before he dies.

Since his health prob-lems started, Dad has changed for the better, but we still rarely talk to each other. How do I begin to tell him my secret? — Scared Son in Florida

Dear Scared Son: Since you and Dad have such a hard time communicat-ing, it might help to bring in a third party to facili-tate the initial conversa-tion — perhaps an under-standing relative, mutual

friend or cler-gyperson. You can always start by telling him you care about him and worry about his health. However, we have to won-der why you are so desper-

ate to tell him a “terrible secret.” It doesn’t sound as if you seek his counsel on the matter, only that you are trying to unburden yourself at his expense. Examine your motives. If telling Dad will bring him some peace of mind and make your relation-ship better, go ahead. Otherwise, please discuss your secret with someone who can be of assistance or support. Dear Annie: I am a 17-year-old junior in high school and get invited to various parties. One girl, “Sarah,” likes to show R-rated movies. Annie, I am extremely uncomfortable with the content of these mov-ies, but Sarah says she’s doing me a favor by mak-ing me watch them. The

synopses of some of these films make me physically ill. I now avoid Sarah’s parties (and sometimes Sarah) so I won’t be pres-sured. I refuse to lower my standards, but I am tired of Sarah jumping down my throat about it. How do I get her to respect my choices? — Need Suggestions

Dear Need: Every crowd has one person who enjoys tormenting those who are easily flus-tered. Just because you are old enough to watch R-rated films doesn’t mean you have to. Instead of becoming upset with Sarah’s shenanigans, try being completely bored. Sigh and say, “Thanks for your interest in my education.” Smile. Walk away. She’ll tire of it even-tually.

Dear Annie: I read “L.K.’s” response to “Baby Mama,” who wants to get pregnant. L.K. said hav-ing a baby at age 19 limits any further education.

I was 19 when I became pregnant with my first child. However, I went on to finish college and now have a BA in education and a teaching career. I agree that it is irrespon-sible to want a baby just because her friends have one. And it’s true that finishing school was a struggle. However, if she works hard, she can still have a good education and a career. — Managed It

Dear Managed: Those who truly want an edu-cation can achieve that goal. But we worry that young women like “Baby Mama” don’t see any fur-ther into their future than nine months.
