Editorial Cartoon—Eric Reaves

IWU announces ‘World Changer,’ Roorbach’s retirementTIP OF THE HAT TO...

Cheryl Bachelder, named this week as the 2018 IWU World Changer. Bachelder, former CEO of Popeyes, has more than 35 years of experience in brand build-ing, operations and pub-lic-company management at companies like Yum Brands, Domino’s Pizza, RJR Nabisco, The Gillette Company, and The Procter & Gamble Company.

In September 2015, Bachelder was award-ed The Norman Brinker Award from Nation’s Res-taurant News. She has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and was named by CNBC’s Jim Cramer as one of his “21 Bankable CEOs” for 2014.

IWU established the Society of World Chang-ers in 2003 to recognize individuals who are faith-ful Christians by example, use their professional plat-forms to impact their world for Christ and have risen to national prominence. Each year a World Changers Convocation is held on IWU’s campus to induct a new member into the Society and celebrate his or her accomplishments. Bachelder will be formally inducted during a special convocation at 10 am on March 21, in the Chapel Auditorium.

ALSO TO...the Joint Effort Against Narcotics (JEAN) Team and the In-diana State Police Drug Unit, who arrested two and seized “a large amount of illegal narcotics” at 1311 W. Spencer Ave. just hours before we went to press on January 24.

AND THE FINAL PER-SON...we’d like to recog-nize is someone near and dear to my heart, my sister-in-law, Karen Roorbach. Karen will retire from her position as special assis-tant to the president of In-diana Wesleyan University in June.

The school put out a

press release announcing her retirement, which in-cluded these kind words from President David Wright: “Few people have played a more central role in the transformation of IWU over the past 35 years,” he said, “As Reg-istrar, Karen helped to shepherd IWU through its

years of most explosive growth and transformation as an academic institu-tion. As special assistant in the president’s office she has been a steady and de-pendable presence running high profile events, repre-senting IWU with elected officials, and serving as university ombudsman. I celebrate Karen’s excep-tional service.”

I do, too, Karen! Here’s how she responded to Wright’s words: “The Word tells us that ‘for ev-erything there is a time, and a season...’ I plan to retire at the end of June, 2018. During the next months I hope to finish well and transition the re-sponsibilities of my posi-

tion seamlessly to others...Knowing the Lord is lead-ing me into another ‘time and season,’ it is still very difficult to say good-bye to daily investing my life at a place and alongside people that I love. I will miss you all very much... I look for-ward with anticipation to what the future holds...”

Congratulations, Karen. We are very proud of you.

GRAMMAR COURT...is in session, Grumpy McRoorbach presiding. This week’s complaint is that a national sports magazine doesn’t know the difference between “pour” and “pore,” as evidenced by their use of the former in describing how a cer-tain football player liked to “pour over film” in study-ing his opponents. The author should have used “pore,” of course, which means: “to meditate or ponder intently.” Pour, on the other hand, means “to send flowing or falling,” as in “He poured a cup of coffee.”

HERE’S WHAT MADE ME GO ‘HMMM’ THIS WEEK...If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegeta-bles, then what is baby oil made from?

The RoundupDoug Roorbach

The Roundup is sponsored by Afena Federal Credit Union; see their ad. belowEach week, The News

Herald prepares news of the good being done by individuals and organiza-tions in Grant County for broadcast on WBAT. Here is an adaptation of the transcript of that broad-cast.—Ed.

We start off this week with a word of thanks to Grant County Medical So-ciety president Dr. William Granger, who has led an effort to raise money for the Humane Society and for the K-9 units of both the Marion Police and the Marion Fire Departments. It’s always nice to see peo-ple helping to take care of our animal friends, and es-pecially those that serve us with all of their hearts, such as the K-9 units do. Good work Grant County Medi-cal Society and thanks Dr. Granger.

We also want to say

thank you to two people who are stepping down from positions in which they have done exception-ally good work. The first is Alan Miller, who recently completed a term on the board of directors of the Family Service Society, Inc.

“FSSI wants to com-mend and thank Alan Mill-er for his multiple board terms and years that he has served, supported and guided FSSI,” said Steve Sapp, who is the newly ap-pointed chairman of that board. Sapp joins three other new board officers for FSSI: Dianne Smith, vice chairperson; Patsy Lutton, treasurer; and Josh Baker, secretary. Good for all of you for being willing to serve.

The second person who is stepping down from a job well done is Kathy Moore, who is retiring

from her full-time position with the Marion Police De-partment’s Police Athletic League after 31 years--that’s right, more than three decades!--of dedicated ser-vice. Since 1986, Moore has worn many hats within the club, doing everything necessary to keep it run-ning, above and beyond her position as office co-ordinator. She helped get sponsors, register coaches and young people, order concessions, clean the gym, and more. Good job, Kathy!

Our final good word for the week comes from the Good Book, in Proverbs 12:14, where I found a passage that seemed ap-propriate for all of these retirees. It reads: “From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward.”

braries.The event, held in the St.

Paul Catholic School gym-nasium, brought together 400 families with 12 teams from nine schools, making this the most attended battle to date, up from 325 fami-lies with eight teams from seven schools last year.

County schools-- River-view Elementary, Home-school, Sweetser Elemen-tary, Oak Hill Elementary, Allen Elementary, North-view Elementary, Lakev-iew Christian School, Ken-dall Elementary, Frances Slocum Elementary, and St. Paul Catholic School--competed by answering six rounds of trivia questions developed by the commit-tee of librarians and based on the five books they have read.

Kylan Thomas Willmert, 10, a fourth-grade student from Lakeview Christian School, said this is the first year his fourth-grade class is competing in the Battle of the Books. He enjoyed the experience overall, and he kind-of enjoyed the books he had to read for the com-petition but prefers other books when he is reading for fun. His favorite part of the contest is: “probably the multiple-choice questions. I like questions we are more likely to answer.”

His father, Konrad Willmert, said his favorite part is: “watching the kids work together. Lakeview is a small school, so we have gotten to know some of the students really well. They’re cute. It’s fun watching them react to the answers when they find out whether they got it right or wrong.” He added: “It is neat to see all of the community schools here competing and having fun.”

Library staff created a list consisting of 15 book titles. Those titles voted down to five chapter books consist-ing of a mixture of fantasy, adventure, and humor in the third- to fifth-grade read-ing levels: Because of Mr. Terupt, Boxcar Children, The Sisters Grimm, Frindle, and Numbering the Stars.

The librarians then meet with the coaches from each school in September to discuss the books, and the coaches develop their team strategy. The schools receive their books in No-vember. Some of the books are part of a series. Those titles were selected to mo-tivate participants to finish the series.

MPL orders the books for Marion schools. The Gas City Public Library orders for Mississinewa schools and the homeschool fami-lies buy their own.

During the tournament, teams worked together to answer rounds of questions about characters, plots, summary, and settings. The first four rounds consisted of multiple choice ques-tions, while the final two rounds required one-word answers. Library staff tal-lied up points from each schools’ answer sheet at the end of the contest.

During the presentation of awards, cheers from the students echoed throughout the gymnasium. Riverview Elementary, which has won four Grant County Battle of the Books, retook first place this year; the homeschooled team finished in second place, and Sweetser ended in third.

Each child received priz-es, including certificates to a variety of places in the community, a Battle of the Books pencil, and library goody bag. The top two schools received money for their school libraries; sec-ond place received $100, and first place won $150. Additionally, each student in the top two teams re-ceived an Amazon gift card to purchase more books; second place, $10 and first place, $15.

Amy Reel, children’s li-brarian at Marion Public Library, said their goals

included: encouraging kids to read more and have fun while competing with peers. “We also wanted to provide another outlet for children that are not sporty looking for something to do at the fourth-grade level. It is kind of fun to be able to have a competition where you did all of the work yourself, and you are relying on yourself but also part of a team,” said Reel.

The idea was born dur-ing a breakout session at the Children and Young People Division (CYPD) Conference. Reel attended a meeting about Battle of the Books during her first year at the Marion Public Library and was eager to bring the game to Marion. The first event was held in the Marion Public Library Meeting Room B and con-sisted of four teams from four schools.

BooksContinued from page 1

The event, held on Sat-urday, January 27, featured 12 stations created by lo-cal organizations--Marion Public Library, Marion General Hospital, Indiana Wesleyan University Sci-ence Club, Grant County Purdue Extension, Upper Wabash Interpretive Ser-vices, Quilters Hall of Fall, and The Brain Kitchen.

Ashley Springer, a ju-nior at IWU and presi-dent of the Science Club, said: “I really like seeing the kids get an interest in science, seeing their in-terest peaked in science. It’s always good to see their amazement from simple science things. I’m a chemistry major, and I constantly see science at work so to see it from the kids’ perspective is great.”

Funds for S.T.E.A.M. program development are courtesy of the Indiana Humanities’ Quantum Leap Grant, an initiative that encourages Hoosiers to explore and celebrate the spirit of possibility and problem-solving that oc-curs when we bridge the humanities with science, technology, engineering, art, and math, according to indianahumanities.org.

The library attendance counter estimated around 150 within the first 30 minutes of the event and 200 participants by 3:15 pm.

The first 100 partici-pants were given fun sci-entist clearance badges before entering the Meet-ing Room B and invited to enjoy free snacks and H20.

Dr. Tara Renbarger, an assistant biology profes-sor at IWU, said her three sons: Baer, Cael, and Bayne, begged for the op-portunity to come to the li-brary for the annual event. “We came last year, and they were begging to come back to see all of the sci-ence things. They are hav-ing so much fun.”

The scientific celebra-tion themed Be a Mad Scientist, also marked the kickoff for Franken Fest, also funded by the Nation-al Endowment for the Hu-manities grant--One State/One Story: Frankenstein.

While the main event celebrating the multi-gen-

erational book will take place in October, a series of themed programs will take place throughout the year to discuss important questions about science and technology and the re-lationship between science and society.

Inspired by the 200th Anniversary of the pub-lication of Frankenstein, which was published by anonymous author 19-year-old Mary Shel-ley and dedicated to her father, William Godwin, the Marion Public Library received two grants for Frankenstein programs. One grant for a communi-ty-wide reading of Fran-kenstein and the second award for one day of Fran-kenstein activities.

The Marion Public Li-brary planned several S.T.E.A.M. activities be-tween January and Octo-ber. Some activities in-clude hands-on science fun such as Sensory Tales in the Children’s Activity Room, and others will be centered around the book Frankenstein.

The goal of the year-long mad scientist activities is to “get people interested in S.T.E.A.M. and provide the opportunity for young kids to see all of the ap-plications,” said Bratton. The library is calling for members of the commu-nity to volunteer as readers during Franken Fest. For details, contact Sue Brat-ton at 765-668-2900.

our law enforcement and first responders are safely equipped to properly han-dle dangerous substances, like fentanyl. This Task Force deserves national attention and should be used as a model to target the opioid crisis in other communities across the country. It is an example of how we can come to-gether to help others turn their lives around and end this tragic opioid epidem-ic.”

The News Herald asked Vermilion to share her feelings about the invita-tion before the speech. This is her story.—Ed.

by Ann VermilionI love Washington DC,

history and education wrapped up in architecture and culture. Yesterday, my husband and I got to view the original Constitution, Bill of Rights and Decla-ration of Independence. Oddly, when my father Jim Beck, an American history teacher, took me and my brother Alan to the National Archives 30 years ago, my only mem-ory was the enormous line and my feet hurting. Yes-terday, seeing the original parchment and signatures of our Founding Fathers took my breath away. It allowed me to refocus on the pride I have in my country and the founda-tional theories of freedom

of speech, the privilege to vote in leaders and the right all of us have to form differences of opinions. God bless America.

Tomorrow I have the honor of attending the 45th president’s State of the Union address as Con-gresswoman Brooks’ one allotted guest, chosen for my leadership and voice throughout Indiana and my passion towards fight-ing the opioid and sub-stance abuse epidemic. Amazed. Honored. Ap-preciative.

It is not lost on me that our 5th District Congress-women could have chosen over a half-million other residents in her district, yet when she thought of someone who is synony-mous with fighting hard to improve the opioid epidemic, she called me. Amazed. Honored. Ap-preciated.

At first I told her, “There are so many other worthy Hoosiers also fighting hard on this epidemic.” I felt undeserving. Then I took at moment to re-flect on my personal jour-ney in fighting this grave epidemic. I have always been, and will always be, an educator, advocate and voice in making Indiana healthier and stronger. At this moment in our state’s history, the opioid/heroin epidemic is taking more lives every day.

It’s personal. My fam-ily has buried a beauti-ful 20-year-old who, in our eyes, had many years

ahead of her. We have fam-ily and friends who have had their worlds turned upside down from ad-dictions. My colleagues: physicians, judges, pros-ecutors, law enforcement officers, mental health providers, social workers--all work diligently, emo-tionally and steadfastly to improve the lives of our community. It’s personal.

So I decided I will gra-ciously accept this hon-ored invitation to see his-tory in the making.

As a child, I watched with my father every State of the Union address since Jimmy Carter. (Figuring out my age? I was born the day Richard Nixon re-signed.) I am immensely grateful that my father in-stilled in me a passion and vigor in watching, com-municating, forming opin-ions and thoughts around legislative topics.

My parents raised us to respect the U.S. Con-stitution, the legislative processes and those in positions of authority. I am amazed, honored and appreciative to be one of only about 600 who per-sonally get to witness President Trump address the nation at his first State of the Union Address.

Next week: Vermilion shares her experiences at the speech.

at the Marion Municipal Building to open discus-sions of ways that an “arts alliance” can be formed in Marion.

“It’s time to stop the talk and walk the walk,” Marion Mayor Jess Alumbaugh said, urging that the groups find ways to share both re-sources and concerns to bring a stronger arts pres-ence to life in Marion. “This could be a game changer for culture in Marion.”

Dr. Greg Fiebig, a pro-fessor at Indiana Wesleyan University and the creator of the Hoosier Shakes program that has brought Shake-spearean theater to Marion the past two years, is an or-ganizer of the effort and was credited by Alumbaugh as the person who put the arts on the mayor’s agenda.

“Greg came to me right after I was elected and start-ed talking about the things the city needs to do to bring culture to downtown Mari-on,” the mayor said.

Fiebig was joined in lead-ing the discussion by Ka-tie Morgan, director of the Community School of the Arts in downtown Marion, and Kayla Johnson, newly named coordinator of Mar-ion neighborhood associa-tions and director of Main Street Marion.

“What is an arts alliance? We don’t know yet,” Fiebig told the group that included representatives of several performing arts groups in-cluding Civic Theater and the music department at In-diana Wesleyan University.

Additional meetings are scheduled for three subse-quent Wednesdays--Jan. 31, Feb 7 and 14--beginning at 6 p.m. and to be held in the city hall second floor conference room. While all the sessions are open to all concerned, the Jan. 31 gathering is to focus on mu-sical arts, with the February meetings focusing on fine arts and artisan crafts.

“We need to start looking

at the themes and the issues and then create a structure.” Fiebig said. He stressed the importance of seeking funding through grants from organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts.

Steve Curtis, an indepen-dent filmmaker in Marion, said support must come “from a group effort, and I haven’t found that group yet.”

Ann Maddux told her col-leagues “there is a lot of territorialism and we have to get past that.”

Fiebig agreed and said “the competition between organizations is there be-cause the money is not.”

Several pointed out that similar discussions had been held in previous administra-tions, but without results.

Alumbaugh challenged the group to come up with specific plans, whether in programs or facilities, and to explore ways to imple-ment them “because the arts

are pivotal in changing the culture of Marion.”

“Something needs to come from this,” he said.

“If we can work together we can stop talking about thousand-dollar grants and start talking about quar-ter- and half-million dollar grants,” he said, stressing the need for speaking with a single voice to the larger community.

Sheila Todd, a musician and former business director of the Marion Philharmonic Orchestra and now working with the Friends of the Gar-dens at Matter Park, told the participants that there are vi-sions, problems and desires that are common to all and the emphasis should move in that direction.

“We want to hear your dreams and maybe your frustrations,” Fiebig said, but added that the intent is to find common ground, be-cause all are seeking mon-ey, resources and space in which to work.

petes in its first ever basketball

February 9, 1866George Ade is born in Kent-

land, Indiana. He attends Purdue University and becomes a popu-lar humorist and playwright. Fables in Slang becomes one of his most popular works.

February 10, 1851The Constitutional Conven-

tion concluded in Indianapo-lis. 150 Delegates had met for 127 days in the chamber of the House of Representatives of the State House.

Some voters cast their ballots based on philosophical principles. Others

are more concerned with the principals in their bank ac-counts. This week we’ll see how Hoosiers measure up in terms of Social Security (SS) payments from the federal government, as reported by the Census Bureau’s Ameri-can Community Survey (2016 vintage).

There’s not much dif-ference between the entire United States and Indiana in terms of the percent of households receiving SS payments. For the nation it’s 30.2 percent with Indiana somewhat higher at 30.9 percent.

Likewise, the U.S. and Indiana are close on median age of the population with the U.S. a bit older at 37.7 years and Indiana a spritely 37.4 years. The median age is the number where 50 percent of the popula-tion is older and 50 percent younger.

The difference between our state and the nation appears when we examine the mean or average annual SS pay-ments. Indiana’s average pay-ments from SS were $18,864 or 3.7 percent higher than the national average of $18,193. The reasons for this difference would take an entire column to explore and we still might not know the answer.

We can say if SS pay-ments were reduced by

two percent, either in dollar terms or in buying power through inflation, the money available to 772,500 Hoosier households would be cut by nearly $300 million.

Many in our country believe that SS payments are just like handouts, unwarranted dollars going to the least deserving and a host of fake claimants. These critics probably don’t have relatives or know their neighbors on SS.

Within Indiana, data are available for 31 counties with populations in excess of 45,000 persons. Grant and Wayne counties both exceed 40 percent of households

receiving SS payments. The counties least depen-

dent on federal SS payments are Hamilton, Tippecanoe and Monroe (each at 24 per-cent of households or less). The latter two are college counties and Hamilton has the highest average earnings per household in the state ($114,778). Hamilton house-holds also have the highest average SS payments in the state ($21,503).

This occurs because SS payments for each of us are linked our work-life earnings. Counties with high average earnings tend to be high on the list of counties receiving high average SS payments. The top eight Indiana coun-ties in such payments are all suburban counties.

Households with low earnings (the average for Grant is $52,086, the lowest of the 31 counties) then tend to have low average SS payments. Grant County, at $17,630, has the third lowest average SS payments in Indiana in our field of 31 counties.

Thus, Hamilton’s average earnings are double Grant’s while Hamilton’s average SS payments are 20 percent higher. Critics say SS favors those already well off. Oth-ers look at the SS program as a modified, forced savings plan, and see the 20 percent differential as a justified dis-parity. Hence, the SS system is a factor in our income distribution debates.

Let’s start here with the fact: Larry G. Nasser is a creep. Should have been

caught a long time ago and those who should have done the job are now paying the price and none too soon.

Nassar, trained as a physician but practicing as a pedophile and predator, spent years preying on the fears and vulnerabilities of talented children and young women competing at the very highest levels of Olympic gymnastics. He was their doctor, the man charged with keeping them

at their very finest competi-tive edge. He didn’t. Instead he molested them, assaulted them in the most disgusting and debasing ways.

Now, thanks to several enormously courageous young women and an ag-gressive if belated prosecu-tion, the creep will spend a good many years—prob-ably the rest of his life—be-hind bars thinking about the damage he did.

But enough about Dr. Creep. You know the story; it has been told repeat-edly over the past several months, most impressively

by 156 young women he victimized over a quarter-century as each of them was given an opportunity to confront him in the safety of the courtroom in East Lansing, MI, after he was told by the judge that he would spend at least 40 years and maybe as much as 170 years behind bars for what he had done to the women he was about to face.

It is those women—those women and a few seri-ously focused reporters and journalists—that we need to pay attention to here. Most

amazing part of this story in the huge role played by people at the Indianapolis Star newspaper, people who initially knew nothing of Nassar or his victims.

It began over two years ago in the new downtown newsroom of the Star, where a team of investiga-tive reporters had been trolling through complaints about abuses in the USA Gymnastics program, which is housed down the street in Indianapolis.

Their first story read thus:“Top executives at one of

America’s most prominent Olympic organizations failed to alert authorities to many allegations of sexual abuse by coaches—relying on a policy that enabled predators to abuse gymnasts long after USA Gymnastics had received warnings.”

No mention of medical people, nothing about Dr. Creep up in Michigan. Only because the Star reporters knew nothing of him.

Enter the most coura-geous of them all: Rachael Denhollander, a former gymnast who is now an at-torney living in Louisville, KY. It was she who saw the first well-intentioned-but-incomplete story in the Star, called the reporters and poured out her personal horror story and put them on the trail of the predator.

Their second story began: “Two former gymnasts,

one an Olympic medalist, have accused a prominent, longtime team physician for USA Gymnastics of sexual abuse...”

No need here to dwell on the pain. Ms. Denholland-er’s personal story, which she wrote for the New York Times last week, of abuse and her road to retribution is all over social media. I urge you to read it.

Overarching all of this, particularly, most especially, in the age of diminished newspapers and wild accusations of “fake news” is the stark reality that without journalists, without gumshoe reporters and enlightened editors and courageous publishers—and the First Amendment—this story would have gone untold and these women would have endured scarred lives in silence and without justice.

Angela Povilaitis, deputy attorney general for the State of Michigan, summed it up precisely and forceful-ly. Said she: “What finally started this reckoning and ended this decades-long cycle of abuse was inves-tigative reporting. Without that first Indianapolis Star story in August 2016; without the story where Rachael Denhollander came forward publicly shortly thereafter—he would still be practicing medicine, treating athletes and abus-

ing kids.”Let that sink in for a

minute. Right now, he would be at his office, abusing children, had it not been for the investiga-tive reporters and Rachael Denhollander.

Dreaming of a Healthy Retirement?It’s never too early to start planning for retirement and major expenses like healthcare. Especially since healthcare spending is projected to grown 6.3% annually through 2019, according to a Health Affairs study. Unfortunately, too many people neglect to plan for healthcare costs in retirement. The reality is you’ll have many important considerations as you near retirement, and healthcare expenses like Medicare and long-term care insurance should be among them.

Social Security a factor in Grant

There have been lots of interesting things I have learned over the course of

my lifetime. My dad didn’t become a Christian until later in life, but he taught me many things I still hold dear. He never interfered in our affairs when we became adults and only shared his opinion when asked. He was a man that didn’t have a lot of formal education, but he was a very wise man.

One of the things that he left me was a good example, and an understanding of work. One of the things lacking today is a good work ethic. Eight hours’ pay for eight hours’ work. Nobody owes you anything, and you don’t owe them. It is a business agreement that we should understand.

Over the course of my life I have had some very interest-ing jobs. I can say that I have never worked at a job that I didn’t enjoy. When I became a Christian at the age of 23, the principles that I learned as a young boy came into play again.

Jesus talks a lot in the Gospels about servanthood. Jesus, while instructing His disciples, had a message for all of us. The message has never changed; He is still looking for a few good men, women, and young people to carry out His work. God’s work is never done!

As I ponder the Lord’s work and His search for a few choice people, there are some basic truths that come

to mind:

1. We never grow too old to be effective in the Lord’s

work. Now I realize that some may have come to the place where they are beginning to lose their minds, but I am still writing! Don’t ever think life has passed you by.

2. Seasoning only comes with age and experience.

Life is a learning process. We should become smarter and wiser the older we become. You may think that no one wants to hear what you have to say. Oh, but they do. You are robbing yourself of a blessing by not sharing with others, and you are robbing others of the joy of learning from you.

3. Some feel they are inad-equate because they are

not properly educated. God does not call all of us to be theologians, however, we can

be practical Bible students. We don’t need to slobber Greek or Hebrew on others for them to know we love them. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Our Lord shared with His followers in Acts 1:8 that when the Holy Spirit is come upon you, you shall be witnesses. It should be obvious by now that I believe God has called us all to be witnesses for Him. You are either a positive testimony or a negative one. Our attitude determines what we will be.

Jesus said in Luke 10:1-12 that the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. God is looking for those willing to labor for Him. He tells us in Matthew 28:18-20, “As you go.” What does this mean? Being a witness for Christ is a lifestyle. It is not controlled by an on-off switch. It is a purposeful attitude to serve the Lord. My prayer is to be more effective this coming year, pleasing the one who has given me hope. I realize what Christ has done for me. He has forgiven me. And paid a debt I could never pay. What will you do for Him this year? The answer becomes simple when we recall what He has done for us.

We are all witnesses

As your state representative, it is my priority to keep you informed

about what is happening at the Statehouse and listen to what you believe needs to be done to improve our com-munity. I take your comments and concerns very seriously, and I am working diligently to support our local EMTs, strengthen penalties for drug dealers and crack down on animal cruelty.

An idea from the Grant County Emergency Medi-cal Technicians led me to author House Bill 1180. This legislation would require the Emergency Medical Services Commission to develop train-ing on how to pre-fill syringes and administer epinephrine.

EMTs currently use auto-injectable epinephrine devices, such as an EpiPen, to treat asthma attacks and se-vere allergic reactions. These devices are beneficial and save lives, but are very expen-sive and range anywhere from $360 to $600 each.

Many of these devices are wasted because they expire in only 18 months, which is among the shortest in the drug industry. This has a significant impact on Grant County’s Emergency Medical Services budget. However, if epineph-

rine is administered through a pre-loaded syringe, the cost of each dosage would be around $6 to $10.

Our state is suffering an opioid epidemic. In 2016, 1,518 Hoosiers died as a result of drug overdoses and, on average, 100 Hoosiers each month die from opioid overdoses.

House Bill 1359 would increase penalties for those who manufacture or deal certain controlled substances when it results in the death of the user. If the substance is

cocaine, methamphetamine or other drugs such as heroin, oxycodone and ketamine, the charge would be a Level 1 felony. Drugs such as zanax, valium and synthetic drugs would result in a Level 2 felony, and a Level 3 felony for drugs such as codeine.

Another piece of legisla-tion I have been working on would increase penalties for certain animal cruelty crimes. This legislation would right-fully hold people accountable for the proper care and shelter they must provide their do-mestic animals.

Increasing the punishment for these crimes may deter tragedies. This legislation would increase the penalty from a Class A misdemeanor to a Level 6 felony for someone who recklessly, knowingly or intentionally tethers a dog under certain circumstances such as frigid temperatures. It would also increase felony penalties for those who strike and injure both service dogs and search-and-rescue dogs.

These are all important is-sues that need to be addressed on behalf of our community. To stay informed on the work of the General Assembly, read about proposals for new laws and watch legislative proceedings, visit iga.in.gov.

EastbrookThe Eastbrook Panthers

ended their regular season on a high note, defeating the Blackford Bruins by a score of 34-9 on Saturday after-noon.

Clearly the Panthers’ defense was dominant, as they held the Bruins to four points in the first half and five points in the second half.

“It was just a really good defensive effort from the start of the game to the fin-ish,” Head Coach Jeff Lid-dick said. “They scored four points in the first quar-ter and then we outscored them 9-0 in the second, 9-3 in the third, and 12-2 in the fourth. The defensive effort was there. We were able to do some pressing to work on that going into tournament time, and I thought we did some good things there. We still have some things to fix, but again, it was a great ef-fort on the defensive end.”

Sarah Foulk led Eastbrook in scoring with 10 points, while Baylee Ditsler finished

with seven points and eight rebounds in the victory.

The Panthers finished the regular season with a record of 8-13.

In the latter part of the year, the Panthers have started to mesh and gel at the right time.

If they continue to play the way they have been in the last several games, Lid-dick believes his team has a chance to make some noise in the playoffs.

“The message is that ev-eryone is 0-0 now,” Lid-dick said. “You can throw the records out the window. Anything can happen in the tournament. I have seen some crazy stuff happen, so we are going to take it one game at a time. I think Car-roll is going to present some problems with their size, but I think we have had that problem all year long. I think it’s a team we can definitely compete with. If we execute from start to finish, we will give ourselves a chance to win a first round game.”

Madison-GrantIn their final game of the

regular season on Thursday night, the Madison-Grant Argylls faltered down the stretch in a 70-55 loss to the Alexandria-Monroe Tigers.

But the play of McKenna Lugar, combined with excel-lent court vision and strong play on the glass, gave Head Coach Elizabeth Garrasi plenty of positives heading into sectional play.

“We’re not very deep, so we just kind of ran out of steam in the fourth quarter,” Garrasi said. “But I thought we made it an interesting game. McKenna came to play tonight, and we had three girls in double figures.”

Lugar finished with a career-high 22 points to go along with nine rebounds, and is playing her best bas-ketball at the right time.

“That’s the kind of play we see out of McKenna in practice a lot,” Garrasi said. “We have struggled getting the ball to her in a game, but when we get the ball to her at the right place at the right

time, we see what she can do. She knocked down some jump shots, and she made some strong post moves, so she had quite an arsenal to-night.”

Now, heading into their first sectional game against the Eastern Comets on Tues-day, Garrasi is hoping that her team’s play against the Tigers will carry over into next week.

“We just have to build on what we did tonight,” Garrasi said. “Yeah, we took a three-point loss, but like I said, we had three players in double figures, we had 40 rebounds, we saw the floor well, and I think with a younger team, tonight was a great step to go into the postseason with some mo-mentum. Hopefully, we can build on this over the next three practices and be ready to play on Tuesday.”

MarionThe Marion Giants ended

their two-game skid on Tues-day night, as they defeated the Bluffton Tigers 55-37.

Coming off their tough loss to Lafayette Jefferson, Head Coach Lawrence Jordan made sure that his team was focused on the games ahead.

“The message was that [that] game is over now, and there is nothing we can do about it,” Jordan said. “We played a solid 28 minutes, but we didn’t close the deal, so now we have to move forward and accomplish what we haven’t done in 26 years—bringing home a sec-tional championship.”

Against Bluffton, the Gi-ants got back to the way they had been playing in recent weeks, using aggressive de-fense to create offense.

“We played solid defense, and we handled their press,” Jordan said. “We ended up turning up the pressure up on them, creating turnovers and easy scoring opportuni-ties. It was a total team effort tonight.”

Rashaya Kyle scored 15 points, while Jazmyn Turner finished with 13 in the Gi-ants’ victory.

The Giants ended their

regular season with another victory, defeating the Law-rence Central Bears 48-40 on Friday evening. Despite having a losing record, Lawrence Central gave the Giants a fight from start to finish, but a 22-point fourth quarter for Marion helped to turn the tide of the contest.

“[Lawrence Central] was 3-16, but they have played some really quality teams, and when I watched them on film, I knew they were go-ing cause problems because they are very athletic,” Jor-dan said. “They had a seven point lead in the third quar-ter, but Rashaya was domi-nant in the fourth quarter.”

Jordan has made defense his priority in the second half of Marion’s season, and it was on full display against the Bears on Friday.

“We played solid defense [once again],” Jordan said. “We held them to 40, which is really good. The run-and-jump was effective [as well as] the man-to-man pres-

Giants go 3-0; Indians take twoEastbrook

Coming off an impressive win over Madison-Grant, the Eastbrook Panthers faltered on Tuesday night, as they were defeated by the Adams Central Jets 70-67. Over the last several games, Head Coach Brian Childs saw en-ergy, focus, and determination from beginning to end, but on Tuesday he didn’t see it.

“We just didn’t have the same energy and the same focus that we have had lately,” Childs said. “I don’t know if it was the fact that it was a Tuesday night game or the fact that we were looking ahead to Friday, but we just didn’t have the same fire that we have had the last several games. It just kind of came back and bit us down the stretch.”

The Panthers did a great job shooting the ball in the first half, but they were un-able to keep it up as the game progressed.

“We made a lot of shots in the first half,” Childs said. “They played zone the entire game, and we made eight threes in the first half. But you can’t expect to shoot that well the entire game. That just kind of caught up with us.”

Along with that, the Pan-thers broke down defensive-ly in the game’s latter stages.

“There was a lack of de-fensive awareness,” Childs said. “We let two kids come in and score 48 points be-tween them. That shouldn’t happen, but you have to give Adams Central a lot of credit with the way they played. Once they got things going, it kind of snowballed there late.”

Ryan Mansbarger led the Panthers in scoring with 21 points, while Connor Childs finished with 17 points in the loss.

The Panthers lost their second game in a row on Friday night, as poor shoot-ing, combined with excellent free-throw shooting from their opponent cost East-brook in an 83-74 loss to the Blackford Bruins. Blackford freshman Luke Brown had an incredible game, finish-ing with 42 points to lead all players in scoring.

“They outscored us by 21 points at the free-throw line,” Childs said. “They shot 45 free throws, and when you get outscored like that on the foul line, it’s a lot to overcome. That was a big factor. We also didn’t shoot the ball particularly well. We made 12 threes, but our percentage, we shot about 35 percent from the three point line. When you add those things up, it was just too much for us to overcome.”

While Brown continued his incredible freshman sea-son, Mansbarger made his-tory against the Bruins. He scored 34 points in the loss to break Rick Harness’ record of 1196 set back in 1975.

“It’s quite an achieve-ment,” Childs said. “That record has been there since 1975, so it was nice to see

him be recognized for that accomplishment. He still has some games to go here, so I would look for him to build on that.”

Heading into next week, Childs is looking for his team to improve on the defensive side of the ball, as they have given up over 55 points in each of their last four games.

“We’ve got to get better defensively,” Childs said. “We are just giving up too many points, and we have to find a way to stop somebody and finish possessions with a defensive rebound. We just need to shore things up on the defensive end.”

Madison-GrantOn Tuesday, a plethora of

giveaways proved costly, as the Madison-Grant Argylls dropped their 11th game of the season in a 91-52 loss to the Frankton Eagles.

Going against one of the top defenses in Class 2A, Head Coach Brian Trout thought that his team did a decent job in breaking Frankton’s press. However, many of their giveaways were a result of poor deci-sions on the floor.

“We had way too many turnovers,” Trout said. “Even though they were pressuring us, I thought a lot of them were unforced. Frankton is very good defensively, and they cause you a lot of problems in the full court, but overall, we handled that pretty well. I thought a lot of our turnovers against their pressure were unforced.

“Again, it comes down to the little things, and they add up. Those little mental lapses that turn into two points and snowball to 12 or 14 points, those are the things we have to get rid of if we want to win basketball games.”

The Argylls did finish with 52 points, which is an excel-lent number against the Ea-gles’ defense, but those tiny miscues added up over the course of the game and were the Argylls’ undoing.

“We’re young, we’re in-experienced, and most of the teams we are playing are se-nior laden,” Trout said. “That doesn’t make it any easier, but you have to go play the game, you have to compete, and you have to do the best that you can. We put up 52 points against one of the best defenses in the state at the 2A level. That’s a positive, be-cause a lot of teams struggle to get out of the 30’s against them, but again it comes back to the little mistakes where we lose focus.”

Wyatt Rudy led the Argylls with 24 points, while Dillon Sneed recorded a double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds in the loss.

The Argylls were defeat-ed again on Friday night, this time by the Oak Hill Golden Eagles, 67-52, but Coach Trout was much more pleased with how his team played, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

“I thought we played much better defensively tonight

across the board,” Trout said. “The third quarter got us a little bit--we just had some issues guarding what they were doing--but overall, I thought we did a much better job defensively.”

The Argylls fell into a hole early, as they fell be-hind 15-2 early after the first quarter of play and were not able to recover despite much better play after halftime.

“In the first quarter, we just weren’t aggressive enough offensively,” Trout said. “We got a little better in the sec-ond quarter and much better in the second half as far as being aggressive.”

Even in the loss, the Ar-gylls are trending in the right direction.

“Overall, I was very pleased with the effort, the focus and the intensity that we had tonight,” Trout said. “We’ve been really focused on the defensive end of the floor over the past month, and I think it showed tonight. I think we are finally seeing some of those things we have been talking about, stressing, and working on come to life tonight.”

Rudy led the Argylls in scoring with 20 points, while Kaden Howell finished with 13 points in the loss.

Madison-Grant lost their third game of the week on Saturday, as they were de-feated by the Bluffton Tigers 67-40. The Tigers took a 19-12 first quarter lead and did not look back, holding the Argylls to just 17 points in the second half and putting the game out of reach.

Rudy led the Argylls once again with 13 points, while Howell finished with 10 points in the loss.

With their losses this week, Madison-Grant fell to 3-13 on the season.

MarionComing off their tough

overtime loss to the Lafay-ette Jefferson Bronchos, the Marion Giants found them-selves back in the win col-

umn with a 96-73 win over Fort Wayne Bishop Luers.

The Giants had a dominant first half offensively, making 19 of their 32 shots, includ-ing a scorching eight-of-12 from long range, to take a 55-28 halftime lead they would not relinquish.

Jalen Blackmon led the Giants in scoring with 27 points, while Latrell Simp-son finished with 18. Tyrese Cobb added 13 points while JK Thomas chipped in 11 points in the victory.

Coach James Blackmon could not be reached for comment.

Marion won both of their games over the weekend, defeating Logansport 84-67 on Friday night before taking down Fort Wayne Northrop 85-59 on Saturday.

With their wins this week, the Giants improved their re-cord to 12-4.

Against Logansport, Simpson led the Giants in scoring with 28 points, while Thomas finished with 22 and Blackmon added 19.

Against Fort Wayne Northrop, Thomas finished with 23 points, while Black-mon finished with 22, as the Giants connected on 31 of their 54 shot attempts in the victory.

Mississinewa The Indians came away

with their fourth straight victory, and second straight conference victory, on Wednesday night, as they de-feated the Blackford Bruins 60-54. As has been the case throughout their win streak, Mississinewa’s defense came through when they needed it most.

“I thought it was the big-gest [factor],” Head Coach Andrew Evertts said. “We didn’t play particularly well in the first half--Thabit [Gault] got two fouls early in the first quarter--but I thought our defense was sol-id all night long. That is what kept us in the game.”

In Evertts’ tenure as the

Mississinewa head coach, defense is something that he has put a big emphasis on. Now, in the last four games, he is starting to see results.

“I think our guys are pretty good defensively,” Evertts said. “It’s kind of weird be-cause going into the season we did not think that would be our strength, but right now it’s been our most consistent strength. That will keep you in most basketball games.”

Against freshman phenom Luke Brown, the Indians did a great job of shutting him down and keeping him from taking over the game.

“They run a lot of different sets, so our guys did a great job of studying the scout reports and knowing what the plan was. Because we did that early on, they went to a lot of one-on-ones with Brown, and we played some really good on-the-ball de-fense. Heisman played well, and Anthony Horton played phenomenally coming off the bench. Brown finished with 30, but it was a quiet 30.”

Gault led the Indians in scoring with 21 points, in-cluding 20 points in the second half, while Horton finished with 13 points in the victory.

The Indians increased their win streak to five on Friday night, dominating on both ends of the floor in a 78-55 victory over the Alexandria-Monroe Tigers.

“I just thought we played a great team basketball game,” Evertts said. “I was so proud of our guys. Our defense was solid. It was a two-point game at the end of the first, we were up 18 at the end of the second, and 29 at the end of the third. We shared the ball, our scoring was even, we played good defense, and I just felt that we were the harder working team to-night. That was good to see, because Alexandria is tough and they work hard.”

Freshman Landen Swan-ner provided a spark off the

bench, while Gault and Larry Dean each finished with 11 points in the Indians’ victory.

“Swanner had a phenom-enal night,” Evertts said. “He came off the bench for us, he had 21 points, and he hit six threes. I really felt like he got us going. When he started hitting shots, the rest of the guys fed off that and started hitting shots.”

The Indians are beginning to peak at the right time, playing not only one of their best games of the season, but one of their best since Evertts took over the program back in the 2014-15 season.

Now, he hopes that his team carries that momentum over into their tough matchup with Delta next week. “This was, honestly, one of the best games we have played since I’ve been here,” Evertts said. “I thought our guys played exceptionally well. They are a good team, and they are tough to beat at their place. I don’t know what it was to-night, but whatever we did, I would like them to keep do-ing that moving forward.”

Oak Hill �Against Grant County ri-

val Madison-Grant, the Oak Hill Golden Eagles’ defense set the tone early, holding the Argylls to two points in the first quarter and not looking back in a 67-52 win on Fri-day night.

The Golden Eagles’ de-fense helped spark their of-fense and get them to a big double-digit lead early. “I think our defense was re-ally good in the first quar-ter, which allowed us to get into transition and get some early easier looks at the bas-ket before they got set in their defense,” Head Coach Kevin Renbarger said after the game.

Madison-Grant did out-score the Golden Eagles 23-16 in the fourth quarter, but the Argylls never truly threatened Oak Hill’s lead.

While the usual players, like Caleb Middlesworth and Spencer Ballinger, continued to play at a high level, sev-eral other role players made key contributions as well.

“I think our kids did a re-ally good job of getting the ball into Spencer and Ca-leb in positions where they could score,” Renbarger said. “Tyce was out [with the flu], and I think Renn Martin did an extraordinary job of filling in for him. Clay Mc-Corkle also did a good job in his first varsity experience as a freshman stepping in at point in Tyce's absence.”

Now, heading into next week’s matchup with the Eastern Comets, Renbarger is looking for his team to clean up their mistakes and do a better job of taking care of the basketball.

“We will need to focus on continuing to get better on the defensive end of the floor and also taking care of the ball,” Renbarger said. “We had over 20 turnovers against a team that was not applying pressure at all.”

sure. I brought a little bit of the zone pressure in the first half, but it wasn’t very effective, so in the third and fourth quarter I wanted full-court man-to-man. That created turnovers, and we ended up taking the lead. We finished the game strong in the last three or four min-utes.”

After finishing the season with five wins a year ago, Jordan led Marion to an 18-4 regular season record. Their next step is to win the sec-tional, something the Lady Giants have not accom-plished since 1992.

“We are going to take it one game at a time,” Jordan said. “We are not going to look past Mississinewa. We beat them pretty good the first time, but that doesn’t matter now because it’s a new season. It’s cutthroat now—you lose and you’re done. We had a really solid week of practice, so I want us to feed off of that.”

Mississinewa Giveaways and miscues,

combined with a sluggish offense, doomed the Mis-sissinewa Indians in a 69-32 loss to the Frankton Eagles on Tuesday night. As has been the case in the past few games, the Indians’ contin-ued to be lackadaisical with the basketball, which result-ed in a blowout loss.

“Again, they did a great job with their press, and we had 27 turnovers,” Head Coach Omega Tandy said.

“That was a huge factor. When you give a team that is that good 27 more chances to score, you’re in trouble. We found ourselves in that position today.”

Mississinewa’s offensive struggles were on full dis-play in the third quarter, as they were held scoreless, while Frankton scored 19 points. However, overall, the Indians had a tough time scoring on Tuesday night.

“In the third quarter, we missed a lot of open layups, but we also turned the ball over the first four or five possessions of the quarter as well,” Tandy said. “We didn’t put the ball in the bas-ket, and we turned it over a lot. We just had a rough night putting the ball in the basket. Hats off to Frank-ton’s pressure. I think it really bothered us, and we were just unable to get good looks at the basket.”

Over the past few games, even in their victories, the Indians have turned the ball over at an alarming rate. Coach Tandy believes a lot of that has to do with her squad’s youth.

“We still have a really inexperienced team, and a group of guards who haven’t played a lot of big time var-sity minutes [before this sea-son],” Tandy said. “Some of these last few teams, some of the things they do just rattled us a little bit. We went over it in practice and we prepared for it, but once the lights come on and you get that game time speed, we just have to take care of the basketball more, and we

have to slow down and be confident.”

“We need to clean up our turnovers. In the Blackford game, that will be our fo-cus. The Bruins play hard, and our team needs to match their intensity. We definitely aren’t looking past Black-ford, we need to come out and execute in order to be successful.”

Mississinewa took care of business on Thursday night, defeating the Blackford Bru-ins 79-21 in their final game of the regular season.

“Today, we just focused much more on our defense,” Tandy said. “We are going to need very good defense in order to compete in our sec-tional, and so, that was our focus. I think we were able to do that—we caused a lot of turnovers, and connected [offensively] after causing those turnovers.”

Turnovers continued to hurt the Indians, but Tandy was pleased with the fact that her team was able to score despite committing multiple giveaways.

“We had 15 turnovers today, and our goal was to have five,” Tandy said. “We had five in the first half and ten in the second. We are still turning the ball over in transition when we go from defense to offense, so that’s another area that’s an Achil-les heel for us. I was proud of the fact that at least we put the ball in the basket. When you turn the ball over and still put the ball in the basket, it’s a problem, but you can get away with it a little bit if you are putting

the ball in the basket on the other end.”

Four Indians finished in double figures, while all but two players scored at least one point in the victory.

“I was pleased with our balanced scoring tonight,” Tandy said. “Holli Greer had 23 points and 14 rebounds, which is a career-high for her. Alayna Webb had 18 points and nine steals. Halle Planck had 14 points and 12 rebounds. We also got scoring from Tyler Bartel with eight points and Riley McKee with 10 points. Dara Watson was a freshman we moved up from JV because of injuries, and she had four points. I was really pleased with just how balanced we were and how unselfish we were with sharing the bas-ketball.”

The Indians drew the Mar-ion Giants for their first sec-tional game next Wednes-day. Their first matchup with the Giants did not go so well, as the Giants built a huge first-half lead on their way to a 66-40 victory.

Now, heading into the re-match, Tandy believes it will be much different the second time around.

“I think our girls are much more confident right now,” Tandy said. “Even though we know that no one expects us to compete in that game or win that game, our locker room believes something completely different. Right now, our girls are playing with that kind of heart, es-pecially defensively. We just want the opportunity to put out what we have been

working on. We are just re-ally excited about the op-portunity to redo that [first] game. We were even [with them] all of the second half, but we got off to such a slow start, and we can’t do that in this [upcoming] game. We are excited about the chal-lenge, and we are going to get in the gym and get ready to go.”

Oak HillThe Oak Hill Golden Ea-

gles won their 19th game of the season on Tuesday night, as they handily defeated the Eastern Comets 63-23.

Though the Golden Ea-gles defeated the Comets by 40 points, it took them a while to get into a groove, as the emotions of senior night took its toll early.

“On Senior Night, there is a lot of emotion, and some-times, you just don’t play as well as you want to [at the start]” Head Coach Todd Law said. “That’s kind of the way things were tonight. It was just one of those things where we didn’t get into sync until the final quarter. It took three quarter to shake things off and get back to playing the way we want to play.

“Everything just isn’t the way it normally is. You have starting different lineups, so kids are rotating in at dif-ferent times and at different spots. I just think it took us a little while to get settled down from that.”

Along with that, despite scoring 63 points, the Gold-en Eagles missed uncharac-teristic shots that they usu-

ally make. “We struggled to score

tonight,” Law said. “We got 63 points, but we just missed some shots and some layups that we don’t normally miss. When you struggle to put the ball in the basket, you feel like everything is bad, but I’m confident the kids will bounce back.”

All but one Golden Eagle scored at least one point, led by Jenessa Hasty’s 13. Tay-lor Westgate recorded a dou-ble-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Brit-tany McCorkle also finished with 10 points.

“We had a lot of balanced scoring tonight, and that’s something that we always want,” Law said. “It’s tough-er to defend. If one girl is not having a great offensive night, there are other girls that can pick [up the slack].”

Law was particularly im-pressed with McCorkle’s game.

“I think the biggest bright spot of tonight was Brit-tany’s play,” Law said. “She had a very good game, hit her only three, and shot the ball well.”

Now, with sectionals just around the corner, Law is hoping that his team will re-focus and be ready for their playoff run.

“I just want us to play consistent [basketball],” Law said. “We had spurts in the Alexandria game and we had spurts in this game, so we just have to get to where we are playing a little more consistent.”
