As music pulses over a loudspeaker system, thou- sands of twinkling lights illuminate the building and surrounding trees in River Park Square on the corner of Garro and Water Streets in Plymouth.

According to Plymouth Parks Department’s Morgan Koops, it took the combined effort of many people in the Parks Department to bring the lights in River Park Square to life. She said while it looks simple enough, the process of coordinating all those lights into a synchro- nized dance is both time consuming and expensive. “All the park guys help put the lights up on River Park Square, then there is a timing box system that you put an SD card in. We have to go through a company for all that. We do a couple trial runs to see if we like how they dance,” Koops said on Wednesday. “You have to pay for each song and pay for the SD card, so there is a lot of added cost in there.” The SD card she referred to is part of the overall sys- tem that programs the light show to dance along with the music, of which the parks department has to pay what amounts to royalties for each song.

Furnace inspections and carbon monoxide detectors help keep homes safe and warm
Merrillville— As winter settles in, NIPSCO reminds cus-tomers of the importance of maintaining a safe home heating system.
An annual inspection is essential for every home’s furnace to ensure that it is working efficiently and to help protect residents from safety concerns, such as carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-corrosive gas and a by-product of burning fuels such as coal, wood, charcoal, natural gas and fuel oil. It can be emit-ted by furnaces, generators, space heaters, stoves, fireplaces, water heaters and automobile exhaust. Carbon monoxide can be poisonous if allowed to build up in enclosed spaces.
The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are flu-like, including headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. At high levels, it can cause loss of consciousness and death. If you think you are suffering from CO poisoning, you should get fresh air immediately and call 911.
Take action to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:• Install a battery-operated CO detector in your home
near the bedrooms, making sure it’s clear of furniture or draperies. Test the battery regularly.
• Do not use ovens, gas ranges or grills to heat your home.• Never use a generator inside your home, basement,
garage or other enclosed or partially enclosed area.• Never leave a car or lawn mower engine running in a
shed, garage or any enclosed space.For more important safety tips, visit www.NIPSCO.com/
StaySafe.

INDIANAPOLIS—Seven Indiana authors will speak at more than 20 cities and towns over the next few months as part of a statewide speakers program. Indiana Humanities awarded funds to 22 nonprofit organiza-tions to bring an award-winning Indiana author to their community to speak to a public audience as part of the Novel Conversations Speakers Program.
The program, open to public libraries, schools, churches, museums, com-munity centers and other nonprofit organizations, was funded by a grant from The Glick Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Awardees were matched with authors that are cur-rent and past recipients of the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award. Speaking events will take place through June, 2016.
“We’re so thankful for this partnership and the oppor-tunity to provide readers from across Indiana access to some of our most tal-ented authors,” said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities. “The generous support from The Glick Fund allows more Hoosiers to connect with impactful literature and thoughtful conversations.”

INDIANAPOLIS—The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Indiana Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director, Julia A. Wickard, recently announced that the deadline to submit ballots for the 2016 County Committee Elections has been extended to ensure farmers have suf-ficient time to vote. Eligible voters now have until Dec. 13, 2016 to return ballots to their local FSA offices.
Producers who have not received their ballot should pick one up at their local FSA office. “We’re extending the voting deadline to Dec. 13 to give farmers a few additional days to get their ballots in,” said Wickard. “I urge all eligible produc-ers, especially minorities and women, to get involved and make a real difference in their communities by voting in this year’s elections. This is your opportunity to have a say in how federal programs are delivered in your county.” FSA has modified the ballot, making it easily identifiable and less likely to be overlooked.
Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Dec. 13, 2016. Newly elected committee members will take office Jan. 1, 2017. Nearly 7,700 FSA County Committee members serve FSA offices nationwide, with nearly 300 serving in Indiana. Each committee has three to 11 elected members who serve three-year terms of office. One-third of County Committee seats are up for election each year. County Committee members apply their knowledge and judgment to help FSA make important decisions on its commodity support, conservation, indemnity, disaster and emergency programs.
Producers must participate or cooperate in an FSA pro-gram to be eligible to vote in the County Committee election. Approximately 1.5 million producers are currently eligible to vote. Farmers who supervise and conduct the farming operations of an entire farm, but are not of legal voting age, also may be eligible to vote. For more information, visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. You may also contact your local USDA service center or FSA office. Visit http://offices.usda.gov to find an FSA office near you.
USDA works to strengthen and support American agricul-ture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, pro-vides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials.
Since 2009, USDA has provided $5.6 billion in disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. The Department has engaged its resources to sup-port a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; and extending new conservation opportunities. USDA has developed new markets for rural-made products, including more than 2,700 bio-based prod-ucts through USDA’s Bio-Preferred program; and invested $64 billion in infrastructure and community facilities to help improve the quality of life in rural America.

GOSHEN — A local recre-ational vehicle manufacturer has broken ground on two new manufacturing plants that will create 250 to 300 new jobs.
Keystone RV, a subsid-iary of Thor Industries, has broken ground on a two-plant investment worth $8.6 million. The plants will offer a combined 200,000 square feet of manufactur-ing space on the south side of Keystone's Goshen cam-pus at 3414 Corey Drive, according to a press release Wednesday from the com-pany.
Bob Pettit, vice presi-dent of support services for Keystone, said Wednesday that the first building is expected to be completed by March 1, 2017, and the second building by April 1, 2017. The foundation for one building is already com-
plete, while crews are work-ing on the foundation for the other one.
Mark Brinson, director of community development for the city of Goshen, said con-struction crews were work-ing to get the foundations in for the two buildings before snow or frost set in. Once the foundations are in, crews can work on the buildings throughout the winter.
The Goshen City Council is currently consider-ing annexation of the land where the two buildings are being built. Tina Bontrager, the City Council clerk, said the annexation issue is com-ing up for a public hearing and second reading at the council's next meeting on Dec. 6.
Brinson said construction had to move forward before the annexation process was complete because it was a "highly, urgent project."
According to Keystone Chief Executive Officer Matt
Zimmerman, the addition of these new plants will help the company stay ahead of growing demand for its products while also allow-
ing it to maintain "rigorous quality standards."
"To meet emerging demand, we have decided to approach our capacity needs in a way that ensures we can produce the high volumes the market demands while maintaining the high level of quality that Keystone is known for," Zimmerman said in a statement. "This sizable investment in manu-facturing capacity and in our people will help ensure that we are prepared to deliver the products our dealers need, when they need them, at the quality our customers expect."
With the addition of these two new plants, total employment for Keystone RV in northern Indiana will reach approximately 4,800 – a record high for the compa-ny. The two new plants will give Keystone 40 total pro-duction and support facili-ties, 32 of which are located in Indiana.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Donald Trump returned to his campaign roots Thursday in his first major public appearance since Election Day, resem-bling the pugnacious, brawling cam-paigner more than the traditional pres-ident-to-be as he held court in front of thousands of adoring fans — and even announced a Cabinet pick from the stage.
Trump's first stop on this "Thank you" tour to salute his supporters was in Ohio and, ever the showman, he made the surprise announcement that he will be offering the post of Defense Secretary to retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis. Trump said he was sup-posed to unveil that Monday, so he jokingly warned the Cincinnati crowd to "not tell anyone."
The raucous rallies during the Trump campaign road show often had the feel of a rock concert, and Thursday night in Cincinnati had all the hall-marks of a reunion tour: Trump took a veiled swipe at fellow Republicans. He remembered his general election foe by joking, "We had fun fighting Hillary, didn't we?" He boasted about size of his victory and repeatedly bashed the media. Protesters briefly interrupted the proceedings. And the crowd chant-ed "Build the Wall" and "Lock Her Up."
The president-elect had eased up on those campaign promises recently, sug-gesting the U.S.-Mexico border wall could be part-fence and indicating no willingness to pursue criminal charges against Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
Perhaps befitting an encore pre-sentation, the downtown arena that Trump packed in October — drawing a crowd that was one of the loudest of the campaign — was only about half-full Thursday night. But the thousands who were there cheered Trump as he declared to restore American to great-ness, saying, "Now is not the time to downsize our dreams."
"Never again will anyone's inter-ests come before the interests of the American people. It's not going to hap-pen," Trump thundered. "The old rules no longer apply. Anything we want for our country is now possible."
Trump did nothing to downplay expectations before he takes office,
declaring that "America will start win-ning again, big league." Much like he did during the stretch run of the cam-paign, he read from teleprompters, but he was bombastic as ever, spending more than a dozen minutes bragging about his victory before outlining his economic plan.
He boasted about his wins in Midwest states that normally vote Democratic, declaring he didn't just "break the blue wall, we shattered it." He veered off-script to make fun of a protester, saying she was being ejected from the arena so "she could go back to Mommy." He repeated his recent threat that, despite Constitutional pro-tections, "if people burn the American flag, there should be consequences." And he repeated many of his signa-ture campaign promises, including a pledge to "construct a great wall at the border."
And he stunned his own aides when he announced the Mattis pick from the stage. Mattis, nicknamed "Mad Dog," is considered one of the foremost stra-tegic thinkers of his generation but to gain confirmation as Pentagon chief, he would need Congress to waive a requirement that a defense secretary be a civilian for at least seven years before taking up the post.
Mattis retired as chief of U.S. Central Command in 2013 after serving more than four decades in the Marine Corps. There is no sense of strong opposition to his nomination in Congress.
Trump, who has long spoken of feeding off the energy of his raucous crowds, first floated the idea of a victo-ry tour just days after winning the elec-tion but has instead prioritized filling Cabinet positions. He is also expected to hold rallies in Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina and Michigan in the coming weeks, though details have yet to be announced. His supporters were thrilled that he had hit the road again.
"That he wants to do this, to take time out of his schedule to fly out here and personally thank the people ... shows what kind of man he is," said Josh Kanowitz, 43. "He's one of us."
But while Kanowitz largely praised Trump's initial moves as president-elect, he visibly recoiled at the sugges-tion that he might pick Mitt Romney as secretary of tate, saying the 2012 Republican presidential nominee was "someone we should leave behind as we move forward."
Others at the rally also expressed some hesitancy at Trump's picks, with a few suggesting that choosing for-mer Goldman Sachs partner Steven Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary was not exactly fulfilling Trump's campaign promise to "Drain the Swamp" and eliminate corruption and elitism from Washington.
But most were inclined to give the president-elect the benefit of the doubt.
"He's a businessman. He'll pick tal-ented people to work for him and then keep them in line," said Jaime Bollmer, a 28-year-old teacher from Lockland, Ohio. "He's a leader. That's what lead-ers do."
The rally in Cincinnati was the sec-ond stop on a victory lap through the Midwest on Thursday, coming hours after Trump saluted workers, own-ers and himself at a Carrier plant in Indiana. There he declared that a deal to keep a local plant open instead of moving operations to Mexico was only the first of many business victories to come.
Some questions remain about the extent of the victory at Carrier, which announced this week that it will keep an Indianapolis plant open. In February, the heating and air condi-tioning company said it would shut the plant and send jobs to Mexico, and video of angry workers being informed about the decision soon went viral.
"Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences. It's not going to hap-pen. It's simply not going to hap-pen," Trump said to workers at the Indianapolis plant.
During the campaign, Trump had often pointed to the Indiana plant's moving plans as a result of poor Obama administration policies, and he pledged to revive U.S. manufacturing. Officials said this week that Carrier had agreed to keep some 800 union jobs at the plant.
Seth Martin, a spokesman for Carrier, said Indiana offered the air condition-ing and furnace manufacturer $7 mil-lion in tax incentives after negotiations with Trump's team to keep some jobs in the state.

used the actual windshield from the van that had been removed to demonstrate how they determine if bullets were fired from inside or outside the vehicle. Court records state that Dodson shot towards Emenhiser through the wind-shield of the van.
It was noted that a request to the AFT (Alcohol , Firearms , and Tobacco) to track the purchase of the gun attributed to Dodson that it was only purchased 41 days prior to the incident.
Defense Attorney Marc Morrison questioned the tempera-ture of firearms after the time lapse between the incident and the arrival time of Hillman, powder burn residue, and missing bullets. Morrison also questioned blood spatter. He said, “If there was blood on his right hand, would you expect to see blood on the gun?”
The state also called Melissa Oberg to the stand. Oberg is an ISP Forensic Firearms Examiner. She explained pro-cess that is used consistently to compare weapons and the ammunition used. In terms of the Dodson case, she exam-
ined three firearms, 41 cartridge casings and 4 bullets.Dodson had been on house arrest starting soon after his
arrest. The home detention was extended due to his injuries and medical procedures that could not be handled in the jail facility.
On November 16, 2016 , Dodson appeared before Judge Bowen and requested that the ankle tracking bracelet that was being used to track his movements be removed. Bowen informed Dodson that the tracking system was a require-ment of his bond. Dodson chose to have it removed and he was then remanded to the Marshall County Jail.
Dodson remains incarcerated at that facility.

“In the future we might be looking for sponsors to make it bigger and better,” she said.
And, after Thursday, River Park Square will not the only place in Plymouth to go for a gander at Christmas lights. Centennial Park will have it’s own vast array of twinkling lights for residents and guests to marvel at. Though not an automated light show like the one in River Park Square, Koops said Centennial Park will have thousands of lights wrapped on trees and other locations around the park for people to visit.
As an addition to Christmas lights, the parks department will have a “letters to Santa” box in Centennial Park, ready for use by the end of Thursday. Koops said the department only asks that all letters to Santa be marked with a return address so Santa can respond to each child’s letter.
The light show in River Park Square will run until the end of December, with schedule shows starting at the to of the hour at 6, 7, 8, and 9 p.m. Both the River Park Square light show and the walk or drive-through light exhibit at Centennial Park, as well as the letters to Santa box, are free to the public.

Now that the turkey has been fully eaten (including the left-
overs) and “black Friday” has come and gone it is time to focus on the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. I have been around for 80 Christmases but the earli-est that I remember was when I was about four years old and we then lived on North Center Street. Looking back to those wondrous days and the family traditions that most of us share got me to asking myself - - “hey, self”. I would like to know about some of those tradi-tions and facts that most of us take for granted and really don’t know the history behind them.
I know that some of you already know the answers to those questions, but for those who don’t know we will now have a short history lesson. So o o o I am posting some questions to you like: Why do we call it Christmas? Why do we give gifts? What is the custom of hanging of stockings? What about Santa Claus? Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25? Why do we sing Christmas carols? OK folks, lend me your ears - - uh, no not your ears because you won’t be able to hear the sounds of Christmas - - but read on and realize why we do these traditions.
HISTORY of GIFT GIVINGKeep in mind that the BIG present that God gave the
world over 2000 years ago was JESUS! Let me quote one of the most famous Bible verses, John 3:16 which says: “God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him may not parish but have everlast-ing life”.
Gift-giving is not new as it has its roots in pagan ritu-als held during the winter called “Winter Solstice”. When Christianity entwined these rituals into Christmas, the justi-fication for giving gifts was redirected to the Three Wise Men, the Magi, who gave gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the infant Jesus. But in early modern “http://www.csmoni-tor.com/tags/topic/Europe” \o “Title: Europe” \t “http://www.csmonitor.com/World/2013/1221/_self” Europe, it also had its roots in Christmas begging called wassailing. Back in those days of yore, Christmas bore little resemblance to the family-centered Christmas celebrations we have today.
Gift-giving, mainly centered around children, has been an important part of the “http://www.history.com/topics/christmas” Christmas celebration since the holiday’s rejuve-nation in the early 19th century. Stores began to advertise Christmas shopping in 1820, and by the 1840s, newspapers were creating separate sections for holiday advertisements, which often featured images of the newly-popular Santa Claus. In the 1800’s Christmas became domesticated in the “http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/United+States” \o “Title: United States” \t “http://www.csmonitor.com/World/2013/1221/_self” United States and the recipients of gift-giving shifted from the lower classes to giving to friends and to children, by “http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Santa+Claus” \o “Title: Santa Claus” \t “http://www.csmonitor.com/World/2013/1221/_self” Santa Claus. It was then that a marketing opportunity was created, bring-ing us to the “Santa in the malls phenomenon” and again to stir up business that today we call “Black Friday”.
Santa ClausI can remember when I was a kid the excitement and
wide-eyed believing in Santa, wonderment of telling Santa what I wanted for Christmas, and oh yes, the sack of candy that he gave me. Then the excitement of Christmas Eve when Santa would come then waking up on Christmas day to see what he brought for my sister and me. Well how did and who was this person we now call Santa, originate?
The man we know as Santa Claus has a history all his own. Today, he is thought of mainly as the jolly old man in a red suit and stocking hat and a snowy-white beard, but his story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century.
The origin of Santa Claus can be traced back to what is now Turkey and the leg-
ends surrounding a monk called St. Nicholas who was born around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. . He was revered for his kindness, and became known as the protector of children. But modern day Santa, whose name is derived from the Dutch nickname “Sinter Claas,” came later. At the turn of the 19th century, Christmas was a time of rowdy revelry. John Pintard introduced St. Nicholas to the United States in the early 1800s.
Then about the same time, Washington Irving popular-ized the figure with his “A History of New York” in 1809 in which he mentions St. Nick 25 times. Santa’s modern “right jolly old elf” image comes from the 1822 poem “An Account of a visit from St. Nicholas,” better known as “ ‘Twas the Night before Christmas,” by Clement Clarke Moore. Moore is largely responsible for our modern image of Santa Claus as a “right jolly old elf” with a portly figure and the super-natural ability to ascend a chimney with a mere nod of his head. His imagery had Santa Claus flying from house to house on Christmas Eve–in “a miniature sleigh” led by eight flying reindeer and leaving presents for deserving children.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (who I kid my grand-kids by calling him Randolph The Blue Nosed Pig) came later and was the creation of Robert L. May, a copywriter at the Montgomery Ward department store in 1939. May told the story of Rudolph who was a young reindeer teased by the other deer because of his large, glowing, red nose. But- - When Christmas Eve turned foggy and Santa became wor-ried that he wouldn’t be able to deliver gifts that night he turned to the former outcast and saved Christmas by leading the sleigh by the light of his red nose. Rudolph’s message: “that, given the opportunity, a liability can be turned into an asset” proved popular for adults and children alike.
Well, folks this ends Part I of “Some Questions Answered About Christmas” so tune in two weeks when we hear Junior say “Hey, I think I saw mommy kissing the - - uh - - t h h h e OH NO! - - the Grinch”.
DID YOU KNOW . . . The popularity of Christmas was spurred on in 1820
by Washington Irving’s book “The Keeping of Christmas at Bracebridge Hall”?
In 1834 Britain’s Queen Victoria brought her German hus-band, Prince Albert, into Windsor Castle, introducing the tradition of the Christmas tree and carols that were held in Europe to the British Empire?
In 1836, Alabama became the first state in the United States to declare Christmas a legal holiday?
In 1907 Oklahoma became the last state in the United States to declare Christmas a legal holiday. Year by Year, countries throughout the world started to recognize Christmas as a day for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Mistletoe was held sacred by ancient peoples. It was for-bidden to fight in the presence of mistletoe. Eventually the tradition carried through as the Christmas slogan “Peace and Joy unto all men.’
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK-END and MAY GOD BLESS
POP QUIZ: It is the Christmas season and I want to sump you on some Christmas trivia. Every elf has this ornament on the tip of their shoes. Which ornament are we talking about? If you need help with this one - - you might want to talk to an elf. You prize, if you are lucky enough to have your name drawn from those who entered, is a half eaten candy cane and it was only licked three times and bitten once.
Answer to the last POP QUIZ. The question was: What is the oldest college in the state of Indiana for a 4 year degree? (A) Notre Dame (B) Hanover College (C) Indiana University or (D) DePauw University ANSWER: C Indiana University. OK folks, this is s o o o o easy I just hesitate giving a prize this week, but I will, maybe.

INDIANAPOLIS - For 50 years, from 1963 to 2013, there was either a Bayh or a Lugar representing Indiana in the U.S. Senate. Birch and Evan Bayh won five elections, while Dick Lugar lost a 1974 showdown with the elder Bayh, then rattled off six victories. All told, these two dynasties accrued close to 15 million votes.
A good part of their combined successes were prodi-gious political and state organizations that raised the bucks, stroked allies and the media, and dealt swift retribution for anyone who got out of line. There was an obsession for detail. I remember as a political reporter for the Elkhart Truth in 1988 when Evan Bayh was run-ning for governor, my phone rang and there was Bayh’s campaign manager, Joe Hogsett, on the line. “How ya doing’?” he asked. “What are you working on. Anything I can help you with as far as our campaign goes?”
The careers of the two Bayhs and Lugar, all once invin-cible, ended in defeat.
Birch Bayh lost to Dan Quayle in the 1980 Reagan land-slide. He governed in big style as a liberal in a conserva-tive state, authoring two constitutional amendments, Title IX, parting with President Lyndon Johnson on the disastrous Vietnam War while attempting to retire the Electoral College. He never won a Senate race by more than a few percentage points. Because of such risky positions, he stood the chance of getting washed out in a national wave that occurred with son as his campaign manager.
Evan Bayh won a term as secretary of state, two guber-natorial terms, the second in landslide fashion, then won two Senate terms with more than 60 percent. But Evan Bayh had national ticket ambitions, he governed in a cau-tious style as to not ruin his chances, and in 2010, sensing the aroused and zealous Tea Party movement and a con-troversial vote over Obamacare, he ducked a reelection bid that initiated his party’s six-year slide into oblivion.
Like the senior Bayh, Lugar governed at an epic level, rescuing Chrysler Corp in his first term, denouncing the election of Philippine tyrant Ferdinand Marcos, convinced President Reagan to oppose South African apartheid, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, joined forces with Democrat Sam Nunn to systemically round up and protect Russian nuclear, chemical and bio-logical weapons. The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Act was a presidential-level achievement that probably saved civilization from a catastrophic terror attack on a Hiroshima scale.
In 2006, Lugar was so strong, Democrats didn’t even oppose him. Believing an ascension into worldwide statesmanship, Lugar let his state organization wither. County chairmen couldn’t coax him to a Lincoln Dinner, and in 2012 he was defeated in the Republican primary, skewered over the fact he didn’t live here. The irony for a senator who had achieved policy that should have earned him a Nobel Peace Prize is that the Indiana Republican Party hasn’t even bothered to honor him.
Like Lugar, Evan Bayh fell this past November on the residency issue. After leaving the Governor’s Residence in 1997, winning his first Senate term the following year, he moved to Washington and stayed there. He and his family became wealthy, working the inner channels of power in DC. He sat on $10 million for six years. Had he given John Gregg $2 million in 2012, it could have been a deciding factor in a race he lost by 2 percent, rendering Mike Pence a historical footnote.
In July, Evan Bayh returned. But instead of doing what most politicians do - file for the primary, build relationships with the media and party, he took a short cut instead, nudging Baron Hill out of the race, figuring he could use his hoarded $10 million on a TV air war to return to power. Democrats I talked with this summer and fall had a distinct ambivalence about Bayh’s return. It was all about him, they said. He was stingy. He set in motion the party’s atrophy in rural Indiana that ulti-mately bred the opening that Donald Trump brilliantly exploited.
The people can sense a phony and a facade, and that was where Evan Bayh de-evolved. He ran TV ads with his twin sons (who lived here only as toddlers and are now at Harvard) wearing Indiana State University and Pacer T-shirts.
In a WTHR/Howey Politics Indiana Poll in September, Bayh’s favorable/unfavorables stood at 48/28 percent. After Republican nominee Todd Young, the NRA and U.S. Chamber hammered him on his residency, his career as a Washington insider, his accumulated wealth (which rose 350 percent during his two Senate terms), our November poll showed his fav/unfavs at an astounding 39/45 per-cent.
It was an utter evisceration. “Evan Bayh has been ruth-lessly defined by them,” said Public Opinion Strategies Pollster Gene Ulm. “It is the destruction of a brand.”
Lessons for future Hoosier senators: Live and work among us. Raise your family here. Shop at Marsh or Martin’s. Build a statewide organization and keep it fine tuned. Seek your millions in votes, not dollars.
As former Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson once noted, dynasties don’t end up on a melody, they screech when they seize up. Evan Bayh lost to Todd Young 52-42 percent, and as he exited on Election Night, he strangely sang “Happy Birthday” to his sons.

BREMEN — There was no stopping the Lancers’ strong offense, but Bremen showed it had improved dramati-cally since its opening game against Argos.
Still, the Lions fell 55-42 to LaVille Thursday night in Bremen.
“I’m really proud of my guys,” said Bremen head coach Jerry Smith. “Compared to our first game, this game was tre-mendous. We still have a long ways to go, but tre-mendous effort, tremendous improvement I thought in five days of practice. We continue to get better. I’m not satisfied, but I think we are headed in the right direc-tion.”
After a close first quar-ter, LaVille rained down on Bremen all night. The Lions knew they had to stop Adam Steinke. While they held Steinke to 3 for 7 from the floor, the Lancers could spread the love, sending the ball into the paint over and over.
The Lancers’ defense was a nightmare for the Lions, however, forcing 22 turn-overs.
The Lancers were led by Steinke with 12 points and

ARGOS — After suffering a disheartening loss on Tuesday, Argos needed a pick me up.
It got just that and did so in a big way.The Dragons had no problem with visiting South Bend
Trinity, blowing out the Titans 58-20 on Thursday.Argos, who lost at Tippecanoe Valley 53-50 in overtime
two days earlier, looked like an angry bunch from the out-set against Trinity.
The Dragons hit back-to-back-to-back triples on their first three possessions to lead 9-0 against Trinity’s two-three zone.
It didn’t get any better from there for the visitors.Trinity did score, but Argos hit seven of its first 13 shots
and a pair of free throws to push its bulge to 20-4 with 90 seconds left in the opening quarter.
“It was nice to see us shoot the ball that well to start the game,” Argos head coach Gordon Mosson said. “We’re going to have to rely on some strong outside shooting. We’re going to have to do that because we’re just not very big.
“It was nice to have a game like this. It was nice for me to have a game like this after Tuesday night.”
Per usual senior point guard Vinny Stone was the story in the first quarter and pretty much throughout.
Stone scored six points and assisted on three straight buckets in the first eight minutes en route to a game-high 20-point night.
Also impressive in the first quarter was 6-foot-1 Argos senior Drew Bollenbacher. He tallied eight points in the opening frame and finished with 14 points.
“Drew is playing really well offensively,” Mosson said.Stone sat for a good chunk of the second quarter when
the lead grew to as much as 21 (28-7).Despite having a big advantage at halftime, Mosson
wasn’t exactly thrilled in the dressing room.“We knew it wasn’t going to be as tough of a game as it
was against Valley, and we thought we were going to walk all over them and didn’t play like we are capable of (in the first half),” explained Stone, referring to Argos missing eight of 11 shots in the second quarter and being called for four straight fouls in a stretch of 30 seconds. “That was one of the reasons why Coach was mad.
“We had to pick it up in the second half.”And picking up the scoring slack after Stone and
Bollenbacher were starters Jonah Osborn and Lukas VanDerWeele, who scored eight points apiece. Freshman Owen Nifong came off the bench to contribute six points.
Every Argos player listed on the varsity roster played, and most got significant minutes.
“It was good to get everybody in and get some of these freshmen substantial minutes,” Mosson admitted.
Mosson’s bunch exploded in the third quarter, scoring 21 points to increase their 28-11 lead at the break to 49-17 entering the fourth quarter.
Argos scored the first nine points of the fourth quarter as Stone and Bollenbacher accounted for all those.
Speaking of Stone, he is off to quite a start this season. Stone is averaging 22.3 points per game having scored 26, 21 and 20 points in the first three tilts. Plus, he hasn’t missed a free throw yet, going 20-for-20 at the stripe.
“I’m trying to hit all my free throws,” said Stone, who didn’t have a freebie against Trinity. “I’m hoping to keep it (the streak) going.”
“He has been fun to coach,” said Mosson about his star player. “He plays hard all the time and is very competitive.
“He has really improved his offensive skills. He plays a complete game.”
Masson admitted he’s liked what he’s seen from his team thus far.
“I’ve been pleasantly surprised,” he said. “They play hard. They’re very unselfish. It’s a close knit group. So many of them play soccer together, and they have that connection and success.
“We’ve got to get better on the press, get better execut-ing our offense, get better defensively with our man-to-

9th grade boys basketball
Plymouth 9th winsThe Plymouth ninth grade boys basketball team traveled
to Goshen Thursday for its first Northern Lakes Conference game. The freshman Pilgrims came out strong with some aggressive play from the start and held off a rally from Goshen to win 37-25.
Brady Hissong led Plymouth’s offense with five 3-point-
ers for 15 points, and Kam VanLue and Adam Hunter each scored eight points.
Plymouth is now 2-0 on the year.8th grade boys basketball
Lincoln 8th squeaks byThe Lincoln Junior High eighth grade boys basketball
team traveled to Warsaw Lakeview on Thursday night and squeaked out a 33-31 victory.
Ivan Winkle was Lincoln’s leading scorer with 13 while Jake Reichard supported with 11 points. Lincoln will travel to Valpo on Saturday to play its fourth and fifth games of the week. The eighth grade is now 7-2 on the year.7th grade boys basketball
Lincoln 7th comes up shortThe Lincoln seventh grade boys basketball A team trav-
eled to Warsaw to play the Lakeview Tigers on Thursday night and once again showed improvement in the second half but ultimately fell by a score of 43-33.
The Red Storm nearly doubled their first half total in the second half and outscored the home team but ultimately could not dig out of their first half hole. David Schadek led the way for Lincoln with 18 points.
The Red Storm record now stands at 3-8 on the season.

seven rebounds. Cox led in assists with three, put up 11 points and pulled in five rebounds. Dalton Dove scored nine. The Lancers pulled in 23 rebounds on the night.
“Going in we wanted to try to shut Steinke down,” said Smith, “and I thought we did that. I mean this may be his lowest scoring game this season, but we’ll see. The other thing is keeping the other guys from getting offensive rebounds I thought
is what really hurt us.“I thought our kids —
when it got to the last two minutes — probably shuf-fled our feet three or four times, and you can’t turn it over at that (point in the game)… The game being that close, and we turn it over that pretty much kills us at the end of the game.”
Bremen may not have won, but the Lions com-pletely turned around their play, taking a 10-9 lead at the first quarter break. While the
Lions struggled to hold onto the ball, they managed to sink most of the shots they could get off as the home team finsihed 15 for 26 on the night.
With just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Bremen’s Matt Box drove toward the basket. However, the shot went off the mark and was rebound-ed by Steinke. With the clock ticking, Box hurried to recover the missed oppor-tunity and latched onto the
ball with Steinke. Receiving the jump ball, Box surveyed the court from the end line for an open teammate, and Box kicked the ball out to teammate Chandler Snyder for his third 3 of the night.
Snyder led the Lions with 12 points, going 3 for 4 from 3-point range. Jacob Strehler put up 11 points while Matt Box scored nine. Bremen recorded 12 rebounds, forced 17 turnovers and accumulated 20 fouls.
“We’ve got to get better
at boxing out,” said Smith. “(We’ve got) to finish games. We just got too much in a hurry. Whenever we could have come down, thrown a little and kick to the 3 or to the rim, we chose to shuffle our feet or trip and fall down. That was just last two minutes. Like I said, I’m proud of these guys.” • LaVILLE 55, BREMEN 42At BremenLV: 9 15 13 18 — 55B: 10 10 10 12 — 42LaVille (55): Adam Steinke 12, Rilye Cox 11, Dalton Dove

Fun & Advice
DEAR ABBY: My husband of 23 years, “Gerald,” quit his job to start his own law firm. He told me about it only after he had quit. I have tried to be supportive, but seven months down the line, he has spent all our “rainy day” cash and earned only one paycheck. We have two teenag-
ers, one who will be going to college in a year.
I took a high-pay-ing job a year ago to help pay down our mortgage and fund our son’s college expenses. Gerald claimed the bonus money he received when he quit his old job belonged to him to fund the new venture.
He’s now saying that seven months is too little time to make any huge decisions, but we are now going to start liquidating our 401(k)s. This is where I draw the line. He needs to get a job. I have worked every year of our marriage and never quit.
I feel like I’m living with a selfish stranger who calls me a “money-hungry stereotypical female” when I ask when he’ll get paid. Is it time for me to take off the rose-colored glasses and file for divorce? -- STUCK IN HIS MIDLIFE CRISIS
DEAR STUCK: Your husband should have discussed his career change with you before he
quit the law firm. Do NOT allow him to push you into taking money from your 401(k). Because your husband hasn’t yet reached retirement age, when he liquidates his, there will be a penalty for early withdrawal. Consult an attorney -- other than your husband -- about what your next steps should be to protect yourself and your children because your spouse does not appear to be mak-ing rational decisions.
****** DEAR ABBY: I am writing in response to the
letter from “Loving Granddaughter” on July 2, who was asking for ways to prepare for the even-tual passing of her grandparents, with whom she is very close.
A way to help her cope with her premature grief would be to take time to sit down with her grandparents and video a personal interview with them. This “Interview With a Loved One” provides an opportunity to capture her favorite stories and memories as told by her grandparents in their own words. She might even hear some surprising new stories as well!
We started doing this with my grandfather when he was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, before he started losing his memo-ry. After he finally succumbed, going back to his interviews was a great way for our fam-ily to remember him in the way that he would have wanted to be remembered. -- JESSICA IN MISSOURI
DEAR JESSICA: That’s a wonderful sugges-tion, one that I know will be appreciated by many of my readers. Thank you!

Apprehensive about heart-health apps
We know YOU wouldn’t buy the Brooklyn Bridge -- although many folks have believed they did! Around 1900, con man George C. Parker sold it over and over (once for $50,000). During that era, William McCloundy, known as “I.O.U. O’Brien,” also sold the bridge and spent two years in Sing Sing for his efforts. But chances are better that you’d fall for some less-than-reliable apps that promise to monitor your heart health. You think, “Hey, it works on my phone, it’s cool and it’s on Google Play or iTunes, so it must be OK.” Well, recently, Johns Hop-kins researchers published
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
findings in JAMA Internal Medicine about a high-blood-pressure app they felt was dangerously inaccurate. And although that one app was de-bunked, another popular app, called out in a MedPage To-day article, still uses the same dubious technology. (The Food and Drug Administra-tion doesn’t regulate apps.) The app not only promises to monitor blood pressure, heart rate, blood lipids and blood oxygen, but also respiratory
rate, vision, hearing and lung capacity, and tests for autism-spectrum disorder! If you have heart disease and want to keep tabs on it, the smart choice is a medical-quality chest-strap monitor or FDA-approved device that monitors heart rhythm. For blood pressure the American Heart Association recom-mends you use a cuff-style unit for accurate readings. And we will revisit this topic in around six months, when the AHA plans to release a policy statement on tele-health, including at-home heart monitoring. So stay tuned, stay safe and don’t let a few bad apps spoil your bar-rel of good ones.

Couch theater — DVD previewsBy Sam Struckhoff
PICKS OF THE WEEK“Suicide Squad” (R) -- A gaggle of super-
villains are rounded up to form a special team that bickers its way through waves of underde-veloped enemies in a no-holds-barred assault on Marvel’s domination over super-ensemble mov-ies. The titular squad includes assassin Deadshot (Will Smith); Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), the Joker’s steady girlfriend; some boomerang guy (Jai Courtney); a special-forces guy (Joel Kinnaman); and a host of other hastily intro-duced characters you’ll struggle to like. Viola Davis plays the government official respon-sible for sending this motley bunch against the Enchantress (Cara Delevigne), an evil super-witch.
First off, this ain’t “The Avengers.” These heroes are anti-heros. Also, Jared Leto’s much-hyped version of the Joker makes an appearance -- and that’s it, an appearance. You’ll be grateful it’s brief, because it’s hard to imagine listening to that strained voice for much longer.
“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” (PG-13) -- Jake (Asa Butterfield), a teenage boy raised on his grandfather’s tall tales, finds himself in a little corner of time and space where he gets to see how real the fantastic stories are. After a bit of time travel, Jake finds himself on a Welsh island where Miss Peregrine (Eva Green) looks after a class of children with bizarre abilities -- a floating girl, an invisible boy and so on. The inhabitants are threatened by non-pecu-liar human society that fears them, and another group called the Hollows (led by Samuel L. Jackson) that wants them for nefarious purposes.
Adapted from a young-adult novel series of the same name, the movie toys with how to prop-erly pace itself. The first act really limps along. When things really get rolling, director Tim Burton finds some surreal imagery to indulge in like he likes to do. The plot eventually starts whirring so fast that it’s difficult to keep track of all the time-loops, dread beasts and peculiarities.
“Florence Foster Jenkins” (PG-13) -- OK, no more superpowers. This one has a woman who lacks a special talent (singing), and still man-
ages to be inspiring and filled with life. Florence (Meryl Streep) has always been in love with music and dreamed of being a celebrated opera singer. She’s an awful singer, but she’s also a wealthy New York elite, and her husband (Hugh Grant) is determined to make her dream come true before she loses her battle with syphilis. Also, it’s the 1940s and people really need enter-tainment. Streep’s performance is charming, but you can’t help but see her smiling at herself on the inside with each mangled note.
“Ben-Hur” (2016) (R) -- A Judean prince (Jack Huston) is betrayed and enslaved in the Roman Empire. His quest for “Gladiator”-style revenge, however, is thrown off-course by a coinciden-tal encounter with Jesus of Nazareth (Rodrigo Santoro), who inspires our protagonist to practice mercy and forgiveness. This epic journey tries to match the theatre-shaking thunder of its prede-cessors with wild computer-generated sequenc-es, including the big chariot race at the end. Unfortunately, director Timur Bekmambetov (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer”) doesn’t have much to add to this dusty story.

SUDOKU
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Fun By TheNumbers
Like puzzles?Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
Dear Readers: With the internet becoming our “go-to source” for education, solu-tions, ideas, hints, etc., consider educat-ing yourself on some of the most com-mon FRAUD SCHEMES you could fall victim to. I did this, and it was very informa-tive, so much so that there was even a scheme listed that I wouldn’t have categorized as such. In the search box, type in “com-mon fraud schemes.” Then click on the link www.fbi.gov. There you’ll have choices of scams to peruse and educate yourself on. Don’t be an uninformed victim. These schemers are just waiting to pounce on the innocent or ill-informed. -- Heloise
BOOKING SAFE ROOMS Dear Readers: Here are some hints to consider when booking “safer” rooms at hotels: * Choose hotels where the crime rate is low. * Book rooms on the first or second floor. Go no higher than the fifth floor in case of an emergency in which you have to use the stairs or need to exit through a window. * Try to stay away from rooms that have inter-locking doors, and make sure your room door has a deadbolt and an eyehole. * Choose hotels where the front desk is manned 24 hours a day and security is present. * Make sure an evacuation plan is posted in your room. * Book rooms not easily accessible from the street and away from public areas like restaurants. I’m sure you can think of your own ideas for
booking safer rooms in hotels, but these should help you start thinking along those lines. -- Heloise BAKING SODA TO THE RESCUE Dear Heloise: As a new apartment renter, can you give me some ways to use baking soda? I’m on a tight budget,
and I’ve been told that baking soda has many uses. If I can save money by stocking this powder instead of multiple cleaners, deodorizers, sanitizers, etc., this should have a positive effect on my monthly budget. -- Philip A., Austin, Texas
Philip, baking soda can be used to eliminate odors, refresh or soothe the body, act as a fabric softener in the dryer, treat laundry stains or as toothpaste. It also is used in many baking and cooking recipes. If you really want to know how, when and where baking soda can be used, you can order Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet from my website at www.Heloise.com. Or send $5 and a stamped (68 cents), self-addressed, business-size envelope to: Heloise/ Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Baking soda is so versatile that if you use it regularly, you will save yourself a ton of money by purchasing this amazing powder instead of multiple liquids and cleaners for your apartment needs. -- Heloise
GARDEN-TOOL STORAGE Dear Readers: Put rakes, hoes, shovels, etc., in a large garbage can with wheels. Hang smaller tools on S-hooks around the rim of the can. Then you can roll all of your tools around as you work. -- Heloise

On Saturday, Nov. 12, John Glenn High School, led by Jane Hostetler and Urey Middle School, led by Wendy Badger-Peters, traveled to Purdue University’s West Lafayette cam-pus to compete in the 32nd annual Indiana Academic Spell Bowl State Finals. Can you spell Fibonacci, sgraffito or leitmotif? Well the spell bowl students from John Glenn High can. They finished third overall in Class 2 with a score of 64 out of a possible 90. Mrs. Hostetler has lead the high school spell bowl team for two years. She shared that she does it because she enjoys playing the vocabulary words with the students and help-ing them find creative ways to memorize how to spell those difficult words. Did you know tambourine is easier to remember as “tambo – urine”? John Glenn High School has won the state title for spell bowl 19 years in the past.First row left to right: Grace Tibbs, Anna Dennie, Salem Slater, Kylie Rhodes, Ashley Jones, and Alexis Baer.

They competed for the state title against the seven other top spelling schools in Indiana. Urey’s lead spellers were Ira Indeikina, a 7th grader, who scored a perfect at the regional and state level and Andrew Carlin, also in 7th grade, who scored a perfect at State. Urey has won four state titles between 2009 – 2014. Coach Wendy Bader-Peters shared that she has been blessed to lead the UMS spell bowl team to state three other times in 2012, 2013 and 2014. When asked why she coaches the spell bowl team, her reply was, “It is a great opportunity to show the kids the benefit of a strong work ethic. They are able to see right away the different results on the days when they are prepared, compared to the days that they aren’t prepared . They also learn that what they have to offer is of value. It is fun to watch their self-confidence grow as they realize that they have power over their outcomes.”Pictured first row left to right: Irina Indeikina, Isabelle Awald, Anthony Kaser and Andrew Carlin.Second row left to right: Colton Helminger, Olesya Indeikina, Coach Wendy Bader-Peters, Zack Brown, Katharine Klinedinst and Morgan Tibbs.

She also urged everyone to consider eating fish for Thanksgiving dinner. Here you see Tomasina beak to nose with Miller’s resident Sue Gay. This was Sue’s first time to meet Tomasina and she enjoyed talking with her. Tomasina assured everyone that she is a very fast runner and she has been very fortunate to outrun those pesky turkey hunters.

Barn featuring ‘Purdue Pete’ gets makeoverMEGHAN HOLDENJournal and Courier
BATTLE GROUND, Ind. (AP) — The gesture is simple: a white barn with Purdue Pete painted on its exterior off I-65 near Ind. 43.
But for many Purdue University students, alumni and fans, the barn adorned in the unofficial Purdue mascot is a symbol that tells them they’re back in the land of Boilermakers.
“I had always seen the barn when I was driving to school,” said Elliot Bloom, alumnus and Purdue men’s basketball director of operations. “It was almost kind of (a signal) to me: ‘OK, I’m back at home now.’”
So when Bloom recently noticed the logo needed a touchup, he quick-ly found the barn’s owner and asked
if he could repaint it. The owner, Ron Gillespie, a Purdue alumnus, happily obliged.
“It’s just a barn with a picture on it and a light and it’s sort of tradition-al,” Gillespie said. “You can see a tradition like that goes a long way.”
Gillespie first painted the Pete in 2002. It was a large task, though, so he hadn’t updated it since, he said.
“It looks very good now,” he said of the newly painted Pete.
It was the second project for Bloom, who is hoping to paint Purdue symbols on barns near busy highways and roads across the state.
Last month, a sign honoring Indiana basketball legend Rick Mount was unveiled on a silo on Jackson Farms alongside I-65 near County Road 300N outside Lebanon. Bloom worked with Jackson Farms
owner Dean Jackson, who already had his own plans to put up a Mount sign, to get the Purdue logo on the silo.
Now, Bloom is looking for the next barn to put the Purdue stamp on.
“I know the feeling I got from Ron’s barn on 43. . It just makes you feel good. It makes you feel other Purdue people are out there,” he said. “If we can do that to others, to me it’s a no-brainer.”
Bloom said Purdue fans have calmed down over the years and this project is a way to get people excited and show their pride for the university.
“We’ve got a lot to be proud of,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any-thing wrong with sticking our chest out a little.”
