More than 6,700 sandhill cranes were counted at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife area that day in November.. Late September through December is the peak season for watching these cranes. PLYMOUTH — The Board of Zoning and Appeals heard about new business possibly moving in during the monthly meeting Tuesday night. Requests for variances were brought before the board by Plymouth Planning Consultant, Ralph Booker for Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores, Inc., of Oklahoma City, Okla. Love’s Travel Stops and Country Stores, Inc. plans to open a new facility at the northwest corner of U.S. 30 and Pioneer Road in Plymouth in 2015. This project will be between eight and nine millions dollars and will bring considerable economic growth for the community with it. This particular location will house a Hardee’s fast food restaurant, a 7,500 square foot Love’s truck stop/convenience store and a tire shop, all of which will be open 24 hours. “As an overview, we’ll hire 60 to 70 people, “ explained Frank Ille, Manager of Development for Love’s. “We’ll have five salaried managerial positions. Seventy percent of our subcontractors are hired locally and the entire staff is hired locally,” Ille continued. The first variance proposed was a request for variance in the general landscaping requirements for the parking lot areas of the truck stop. Nick Hershberger, civil engineer for CESO, Inc., Akron, Ohio, presented a representation of the future site to the Board. Hershberger explained that ordinances require interior islands to be installed in the parking lot areas. However, due to truck traffic, Love’s requested a variance so that they are not required to install the interior islands. The request for variance also asked that Love’s See Business, A2 Jefferson principal cleared to return to work article proVided Raises approved for support staff at John Glenn By rachael herBert-Varchetto Staff Writer WALKERTON – John Glenn School Board discussed new business as the board approved support staff raises of 1.5 percent to the current base pay. Between July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016, Chris Mannering will receive $69,814, Vice Principal Rebecca Cummings will receive $67,670, Principal Tim Davis will be paid $78,233, and Principal Mark Maudlin will be paid $79,790. Principals William Morton will be paid $90,790, $75,759 will be paid to Randy Romer, and Chris Winchell’s salary is to be $76,255. Technology director Andy Stegemiller will be paid $74,740, and Tom Bendy, treasurer, will be paid $60,803. Board member Thomas McCormick voiced his concern that although he felt support staff deserved a raise, he was unsure of the message that was being sent by giving raises to two hires who came in at the tail end of the spring semester and had only served a few months with the corporation. Superintendent Richard Reese stated that he had recommend a half percent raise for those two members.

The board recessed for a public hearing on the superintendent of schools contract and compensation package. Other school corporations around the state have begun to offer considerations for superintendents retirement packages, giving John Glenn a precedent to do the same. The contract stated that Reese would receive a $107,887 with a $2,000 annual annuity, a $5,000 gas allowance, and an annual board contribution to the insurance premium of $21,332. With annual fees and memberships that allow Reese to further benefits to the schools, the total comes to $139,162. With one abstain, the measure passed five to one. In other action: Principal of Walkerton Elementary Tim Davis thanked Kim Purcell from Remax Homes for donating a pie to every staff member last week. 70 pies were given, with 10 left over. The 10 were donated to a homeless shelter. The staff were chosen by Remax as their heroes for the year. See Staff, A2 A 2-week-plus internal investigation conducted by the Plymouth Community School Corporation (PCSC) has revealed no wrong doing by two employees of Jefferson Elementary School. On Friday Nov. 14, 2014 PCSC placed Angie Mills, the principal at Jefferson Elementary School, along with a Jefferson teacher on paid leave due to an internal investigation into possible mismanagement of the school’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) funds. Jefferson parents were notified on November 14th that Mills and a teacher were placed on leave, and the investigation does not involve student, nor at the point, did it involve evidence of criminal activity. After a thorough investigation Plymouth Community School Corporation is pleased to announce that a complete audit of Jefferson’s PTO account by Weidner and Company, P.C., revealed absolutely no mismanagement or money missing. Superintendent of Plymouth Community School Corporation Dan Tyree said, “The audit also showed that Jefferson’s books had not been recon- ciled in a couple of years and that the account actually had more money in it than what records showed. “ Mrs. Mills and the teacher will return to school today. Jefferson Elementary School parents were notified via a voice messaging system at 5 p.m. last night about the update. Tyree said, “Although PTOs are not part of the financial school system, PCSC is currently working with Weidner and Company, P.C., in Plymouth to provide some internal controls to make sure PTOs manage their money responsibly.” Property donated to city By Jennifer Brittin Staff Writer PLYMOUTH— The Plymouth Park Board met at The Conservation Clubhouse Monday evening to discuss the month’s business. Friday night’s downtown Christmas festivities were a topic of discussion and thanks was given to the city and the park department staff for all of their work. “It was absolutely astounding,” park board member, Robert Beiter, commented about the events. “A little chilly, but well attended,” Beiter continued. A new development was brought before the board by City and Park Board Attorney, Sean Surrisi. Surrisi informed the members that about a month ago, the city sent a request to a local couple, Arnold and Dawn McHargue, to see if they might be interested in donating their parcel of land in Gill Park to the city. The McHargue’s contacted the city Monday to let them know they had decided to donate their parcel. “This will give more options to consider in routing the Greenway Trail,” Surrisi explained. Park Superintendent, Mike Hite, told board members that the Games Time shipment for Freedom Park had arrived on a 53 foot semi. The equipment will be stored in the Horse Barn while the park crew works toward Spring installation. Hite also informed the board that all the old lighting is down at Nixon Field and is being moved to another location. New concrete footers will be required for the poles, so work will be continued on this project. “We decided we will not put the new poles up until next spring, but it will be before the first game,” Hite assured the board. The revision of the Webster Center and Conservation Clubhouse contracts was discussed. In the past, renters were allowed to have the building until midnight, but often stayed much later cleaning up. Numerous complaints were made by local residents concerning noise ordinance violations. The revised contract was approved. It removes the extra hour and allows renters to rent the buildings from eight to 11. 10221 Carriage Court, Plymouth, IN Two story house in Carriage Hills Subdivision; 4 bedrooms & 2 1/2 bathrooms; living room with a fireplace; family room in the finished basement; main floor laundry room; covered front porch plus a nice rear deck; appliances stay; Motivated Sellers $177,900.

Keith 1928 to 2014 HOUSTON, Texas — Jim passed away after a short illness on Oct. 24, 2014 in Houston, Texas, where he had lived for more than 40 years working at and retired from NASA. He was a highly trained expert in radio-active chemistry and did nuclear research on objects returning from space. His expertise in the precise measurement of very small amounts of radioactivity attracted the interest of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at NASA’s Manned Space Center in Houston, Texas. There he developed and ran an underground laboratory which was built to measure radioactivity in lunar samples and meteorites as precisely as possible. As a specialist in meteorites, he was one of the first to examine rocks brought back from the moon. He was a member of the International Meteoritical Society and presented scientific papers in Europe concerning his research. He also made the first accurate determination of the energy spectrum of the neutron flux experienced by flight crews during earth-orbital flights. He was a graduate of Plymouth High School class of 1946. He earned a BA degree from Wabash College in Crawfordsville and a master’s degree from Purdue, West Lafayette. His PHd in nuclear chemistry, was earned at the University of Chicago making him uniquely qualified for his work at NASA. On two occasions, he was nominated as a candidate for the Alumni Association Distinguished graduate award from Plymouth High School. He was predeceased by his parents, Dr. George E. Keith and Ruth Harris Keith. He is survived by his sister Katherine Keith Milne of Walnut Creek, Calif., his three stepchildren, Shepley Jackson Zann, Michael and Tony Jackson and three grandchildren. He is also survived by two nieces, Susan Emmel and Sarah Furrer along with five grandnieces. Jim will be greatly missed by his family and friends. April 29, 1966 – Dec. 2, 2014 PLYMOUTH — Sandra R. King, 48, passed away on Tuesday evening, Dec. 2, 2014 in Miller’s Merry Manor in Warsaw, after a second courageous battle with cancer.

She received her BSN from Ancilla College. Sandra worked for Michiana Behavioral Health Center in Plymouth, until she was unable to due to the cancer. She loved fishing, antiquing and her dog, Nelson. She could always be found at Goodwill shopping and finding great deals. When she had the chance for vacation, Sandra would travel to Florida and enjoyed having her feet in the sand. She cherished time with her family and adored her grandchildren. Sandra never met a person that did not love her, and she was a “Mom” to many of her son Ryan’s friends and a mentor to children at the Behavioral Health Center. Sandra is survived by her son, Ryan A. (Casie) Shanyfelt of Plymouth and her grandchildren, Caden and Olivia; her mother and stepfather, Shirley (Ron) Batty of Bourbon; her siblings: Gerri King of Bourbon, Jeffery (Kim) King of Warsaw, Beth (John) Shaw of Lafayette, Jay (Kelly) King of Bourbon and stepsister, Jessica (Scott) Thomson of Chicago; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Anthony, and her ex-husband, Alan Shanyfelt.

Harold C. Urey Middle school won their fourth championship in nine years while John Glenn High School won their 19th state championship, with 13 in division III and six in division II. The high school also has the distinction of being the only school in the state to have the most consecutive years and teams qualify for state finals. be allowed to plant alternative landscaping than what was in the original proposal. It was noted by Hershberger and Ille that in other Love’s locations, the interior islands and landscaping tends to get destroyed by truck traffic. David Miller of VANCO Development Plymouth offered information to support the information provided by Love’s representatives. “Across the street in Pine Creek Plaza where Hacienda is, we have the islands,” Miller stated. “They are continually getting run over by both cars and by trucks.” The second request for 799 $ KIDS–Let Santa know what you want for Christmas! 2 for $899 949 $ 2 for $849 1049 $ variance pertained to signage at the future location. Love’s requested to increase the sign pole height and the square footage of the location’s main sign. They also requested to increase the size of a second sign located near the entrance. The signs at this location would be 50 feet in height and a little less than 500 square feet in size. Ille stated that the average size of Love’s signs are over a 100 feet tall and over a 1,000 square foot. After discussion the board moved to approve the requests. They both passed with four members voting and one member abstaining. Jim Sherwood abstained due to a conflict of interest. James David Housley May 29, 1949 - Dec. 2, 2014 BREMEN — James David Housley, 65, of Bremen passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014, at Bremen Community Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. Dave was born May 29, 1949 in Lucedale, Miss. to Grady and Dorothy (Carter) Housley. On March 15, 1969 he married Pamela Jean Cox who preceded him in death. There is a line from a popular song that asks, “How do you measure the life of a man?” In Dave’s case it is the love he leaves behind. The love he shared with “his Pam”, the love he shared with his daughters, with his grandchildren, and with his family and friends. Dave’s life will be measured through his kindness, his intelligence, his sense of humor and of course, his resilience. Throughout the past nine years, Dave never let adversity knock him down. Throughout his illness and his wife’s illness, he always maintained his optimism and love of life. This is how those who loved Dave will measure his life. Dave graduated from Bremen High School in 1968, and worked in many different and diverse jobs. Dave was employed by Dodge Manufacturing in Mishawaka, beginning as a laborer in the foundry and working his way into a supervisory position. After retiring from Dodge’s, he worked at Bremen Castings and later at Monaco Coach in Wakarusa. Dave enjoyed an active and full lifestyle. He swam, played golf, rode bikes, and at one point, he even taught an aerobics class at a local studio. He and his wife loved to travel, and they were active members of Amarillo Star, a line-dancing club. Dave also enjoyed playing cards and traveling to Las Vegas. He was an animal lover, and most recently lost his beloved basset hound, Pokey. Most of all he cherished his family and friends, especially his two beautiful daughters, Mindy and Missy, his sons-in-law, David and Joel, and the “apples” of his eye, his grandchildren: Trevor, Mitchell, Connor, Gabby and Brady. He was so very proud of each one, and he enjoyed telling visitors stories of all their accomplishments. In 2011 the love of his life was taken from him far too early by a cruel disease. Until then, he and Pam enjoyed almost 43 years of marriage and shared a love that most can only dream about. She was truly his one true love and we can rejoice that they are finally together again, and the wheelchair is nowhere to be seen. Survivors include Dave’s two daughters, Mindy (David) Thompson of Bremen and Marissa (Joel) Reinholtz of Osceola; five grandchildren: Trevor Waldman of Fort Wayne, Mitchell Newman, Connor Newman, Gabby Reinholtz and Brady Reinholtz of Osceola; stepgrandchildren: Tera Schumacher and Myron Thompson of Peru, Rhiannan Thompson and Paige Thompson, of Bremen, and greatstepgrandson, Evan Schumacher of Peru; two brothers: John (Cheryl) Housley of Bremen, and Dick (Cheryl) Housley of Goshen; four sisters: Evon (Ronnie) Miller of Purvis, Miss., Louise Working of Bella Vista, Ark., Shirley (Jim) Wallace of Bremen, Sue (George) Stangas of South Bend, and his late brother Doug’s companion, Cathie Thompson of Bremen. Also surviving are his brothers and sisters-in-law: Mark Cox of Plymouth, Bill (Brenda) Cox Jr., of Bremen, Frances Bope of Bremen, Mel (Jim) Cherrone of Bremen, and Barb Finney of Bourbon. Also surviving are many nieces, nephews and cousins. Dave was blessed with many friends and neighbors who were more family than friends. Dave’s family would like to acknowledge and to thank them for all their love and support: neighbors Richard and Mickey Grover, Mrs. Bev Snyder, James and Denise Lancaster and Mrs. Ruth Zellmer; caregivers, Tawana Robertson, Staci Hendricks, and Kelly Puckett. Dave was preceded in death by his wife, Pam, his parents, Grady and Dorothy Housley, his brother, Doug Housley, and his sister, Jean Thompson.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014 at Mishler Funeral Home, and will be officiated by Pastor Evan Garber. Burial will follow at Bremen Cemetery.

Arrest at Walmart By Rachael heRBeRt-VaRchetto Staff Writer PLYMOUTH — Officers arrested a South Bend resident for public intoxication and disorderly conduct at the Plymouth Walmart. Officers were dispatched Dec. 2 to Walmart after reports of a male subject, identified as Mark Russo, drinking alcohol inside the store. Russo was sitting outside when officers arrived. He was reported as highly intoxicated and yelling obscenities. Russo was placed into custody and taken to the hospital for jail clearance because of his level of intoxication. Russo kicked an officer while at the hospital. He was eventually transported to the Marshall County Jail and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication. Local Page A3 First baseball bazaar this Saturday By Rachael heRBeRtVaRchetto Staff Writer PLYMOUTH – Baseball is known as America’s favorite past time, and local Varsity Baseball Coach Ryan Wolfe is involving the community to do their part in supporting this classic institution. Saturday, Dec. 6, Plymouth Pilgrim Baseball will be holding their first Christmas bazaar in the Riverside Intermediate School Gymnasium. The small event will feature over 30 vendors from across the community and a paddle auction. Using funds raised, the team hopes to have enough money to purchase a new pitching machine to replace their old one. Wolfe is excited about the bazaar coming up, and believes his team is too. Team parents will be getting in on the action by baking sweet treats to be sold during the event. All money from the bake sale will go to local organizations that help families in need. Happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., residents near and far can check out wares and sample food items from local businesses. Each vendor selling at the bazaar, from 31 bag sellers to Mooney’s Ice Cream, had to donate an item to the paddle auction. Wolfe is hoping that each of the 150 paddles for the quarter auction will be sold, as that is the main source for their funds for the new machine. Items for the auction will vary between one and four quarters, per the value decided by those organizing. “We have all kinds of items in the auction, gift baskets, gift cards, floral arrangements. It’s all been donated by the community,” said Wolfe. Over 180 items were donated from vendors and businesses in the community who wanted to chip in. Borrowing the idea from a Texas coach he met over the summer, Wolfe hopes to grow the bazaar over several years and expand it to include double or triple the number of vendors who will appear on Saturday. “I wanted something to make as much for us in a fundraiser and for the community. But also to bring everyone together and invite people out to see the baseball team, support the team, and give back a little bit too,” he said. “It would be really cool if we could grow it to 100 vendors,” said Ryan Welch, an associate of Wolfe’s. WSOI earns exemplar status aRticle PRoVided PLYMOUTH — The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), the leading organization advocating for 21st century learning, has designated Weidner School of Inquiry at PHS as an exemplar school for 2015, as part of a program to highlight exemplary 21st century learning practices that are improving schools and student learning in classrooms and communities across the United States. WSOI Co-Directors Michael Delp and Jennifer Felke are humbled and honored to accept the designation of Exemplar School on behalf of the Weidner School of Inquiry’s staff and students. “This designation acknowledges our mission and efforts to prepare our learners for college, career and life,” said Felke. “We implement the P21 Framework for 21st century learning on a daily basis in our Project Based Learning (PBL) community of WSOI which is located inside Plymouth High School.” Delp said, “This is a team recognition. The staff and students have worked extraordinarily hard and viewed all challenges as an opportunity to learn and grow.” Delp continued, “growth and mindset is not just something we talk about, it is something we practice everyday at all levels at WSOI.” The 2015 21st Century Learning Exemplars, including WSOI were selected along with 14 schools through a rigorous application process and evaluated for educational excellence and 21st century learning implementation. “We are very proud to continue sharing the Patterns of Innovation to highlight strong learning communities, leadership and the importance of student voice,” said Dr. Helen Soule, P21 executive director. “P21 is working with our many members and partners to make 21st century learning a reality for schools and students everywhere, regardless of zip code, because every student deserves an exemplar school.” “We want to thank all of our community partners. When students see professionals coming into the learning space and actually using the content they are learning, it instantly provides the “why” we are learning the things we are learning. The importance of community partnerships cannot be overstated,” Felke said. The P21 philosophy states: Every child in the U.S. needs 21st century knowledge and skills to succeed as effective citizens, workers and leaders. There is a profound gap between the knowledge and skills most students learn in school and the knowledge and skills they need in typical 21st century communities and workplaces. to successfully face rigorous higher education coursework, career challenges and a globally competitive workforce, U.S. schools must align classroom environments with real world environments.

I have this ongoing argument with Patti that she will answer ommentary the phone wherever Mike Siroky she is, with whomever she is despite the inference the person calling must be more important than whoever she is actually with at the time. I think it’s rude. I also know every time I try to answer a phone while driving I drive off the road. And if I am behind someone actually doing the speed limit and therefore impeding traffic, 9 will get you 10 that it’s someone a cellphone being selfish like those folks in drive-up lanes who put their money away no matter if there are five cars waiting behind them or just me. My girls love their phones. They grew up with them. I did not grow up with such devices. Maybe that’s it. I will not be surprised if Jayde has one by Christmas. I have nothing against phones for emergency use only, but maybe we need to define emergencies. A very bipartisan bill that would pass federally is no using cellphones while behind the wheel. I finally got a flip phone (kids ask your parents) when forced to do so by the Chicago Sun Times Group because they wanted to be able to dial me in whenever. And they did. I kept the flip phone for too long (still have it). Didn’t get another one until I started to work here. Nowadays my rented dwelling has no land phone, so the cell is important when the girls message me. I like that connectivity and Megs, at least, is much better at texting than answering. My phone has often been where I am not. Once, this year, it was in a gas station owned by folks who didn’t really speak English. I have no idea why it was there. They did text Megs (she’s first on the call list) and said they had it but she didn’t understand who they were or why they were texting her. Once I lost it in my apartment and I’ve told you I live alone. I finally borrowed someone else’s phone, called myownself and I heard it ringing in an unused storage room. Why it was there is still a mystery. I don’t go in that room. Recently, I was working in the Big Office Downtown and realized I had left it there before setting out for my office in another town where I write these love letters to you. I went without it for two days. My boss had recovered it and gave it back to me as soon as he saw me again. I have got to admit I did not miss it, even the texts from my angels. I do not feel the need to be always in contact. It gives me chance to think more and listen to NPR more. It is part of that lifestyle that has left me without cable or dish or anything for going on four years. Yes, I miss ESPN games and the zoning out moments, but I really don’t miss it that much. At work, I can check news channels. Maybe for Christmas I will get some sort of laptop or something else that lets me check news sites. And write, of course.

Many thanks for a memorable Christmas event It was so good to see so many people at the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting Friday night. Just five months ago we cut the ribbon to open River Park Square. The weather was much different, but the spirit of our community is the same! And the Spirit of Christmas looms just four weeks away! Just off the top of my head I would guestimate 500 people that came out in the dead of night with frigid weather to take part in The City’s holiday festivities. But I was told later that 900+ were counted at the museum afterward for pictures with Santa. (That’s what I get for guestimating!) This year we had more than just a parade and tree lighting. Ice carvings were a new part of the season but, unfortunately, by Monday morning they were mere puddles due to the warming temps of 45+ degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Friday also brought forward a music light show engineered by the Plymouth Park’s Department and sponsored by U.S. Granules. The light show is at River Park Square upon the concession stand building beginning at 6 p.m. each night in December. Please take some time and check it out throughout the month. Planning something like this is not always easy, but I have to give kudos to the committee that organized this event. I assigned my assistant, Laura Mann, to be the committee chair. Laura is an event planner extraordinaire and is appreciated by many throughout The City. The committee involved From the mayor’s Desk By Mayor Mark Senter many volunteers from the Chamber of Commerce, Marshall County Visitor’s Bureau, FOP#195, Boys & Girls Club, the Pilot News, WTCA AM1050, Marshall County Historical Society, the Center at Donaldson & the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, Plymouth Police & Fire Departments, Plymouth Street & Parks Departments, Marshall County Orchestra as well as the Youth Orchestra. The fireworks this year was an awesome (and loud) touch that accentuated the cold night! Thanks to Jim Vinall of Opie’s Deli and Brian Van Duyne of Fernbaugh’s Diamonds for their donation to the cause. Phil Scott & Company brought out his own antique fire truck again. Mike Good, Cayla Sharp and Greg Hildebrand all assisted in the photography of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus and many children at the museum. The photos were later posted on The City’s Facebook page. Thanks so much to former Plymouth resident Socrates Gray (who traveled from Michigan City) and local beautician Karen Rios who played good old St. Nick and Mrs. Claus, respectively! Ponderosa’s Tom Blackburn donated gallons and gallons of hot chocolate while the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ made the cookies. Bowen Printing is paying the NIPSCO bill for The City’s Christmas Tree throughout the month as they have for many years past. The Junior Red Cross, Mayor’s Youth Council and Adams Street Kids Ministries as well as other youth groups passed out the hot chocolate throughout the downtown. The parade itself was well organized with lots of colored lights and sounds warming the night.

Families should modify celebrations to accommodate seniors By Marc ransford The holidays are usually a joyous time for families, but many functions should be modified for aging relatives, says Kathy Segrist, a Ball State gerontologist. As some people grow older, they may lose the physical or cognitive capacity to trim a tree, bake a cake or spend time outdoors singing carols. Others may find themselves spending their first holiday season away from home in an assisted living facility. Some may have recently lost a close friend or loved one. “The holidays are a time when families come together to celebrate,” says Segrist, interim director of Ball State’s Fisher Institute for Wellness and Shoe Gerontology. “However, there comes a time when older adults may not be able to do all the things they once could. At this point, family members and friends can find ways to include older adults in these traditions or start new ones.” Her tips for making the holidays enjoyable for older adults include: • Invite seniors to the majority of events but tailor the level of their participation to their physical abilities. • Keep lines of communication open by encouraging an older adult to use email, instant messaging and social media such as Facebook, Twitter or Skype. Computers make communication easier and cheaper. The main barrier is the reluctance of older adults to try something new. • Consider the nutritional and physical needs of older adults when planning dinners and other activities. • Ask adults for input when planning activities. • Stay up-to-date on the latest information regarding health topics of concern to seniors. • When a family member can no longer live in his or her own home, consider nursing homes that embrace the Eden Alternative. These long-term care facilities foster a family atmosphere with the inclusion of pets, plants and children. Segrist also encourages families to include older relatives in events throughout the year.

I didn’t see anybody do that. “Obviously we didn’t play very well tonight but we our kids came out with a win, and we’re happy about that.” They did come out with a win and defensively were able to force 28 turnovers from the Lady Redskins — a big reason for that win. They did — uncharacteristically — make 13 turnovers of their own while rebounding and free throws continue to be an issue for the team, allowing Knox 10 of their 19 points on offensive rebounds. While the defense did play aggressively there were still lapses that made Duncan shake his head. “I go back to communication,” said Duncan. “Our kids weren’t communicating on the floor and we weren’t dictating things on the defensive end after that start we got. We could have trapped a little more, but there are some things that we need to work on to get better and that was probably the time to work on it.” Plymouth jumped out to a 10-0 lead early in the game, but it was nearly seven minutes before the Lady Pilgrims would score again. Still Duncan has talked about needing to develop a deeper rotation to get some players off the floor occasionally and the game allowed him to get significant floor time and solid performances from his entire bench, in particular Ashley Harrell and Lanae Singleton, who had four rebounds. “Some of those kids haven’t played a lot of varsi- Davis crushes LaVille, 71-23 By Doug gRiffiths staff Writer HAMLET — This year’s Oregon-Davis Lady Cats team is a much younger, inexperienced version of the team that cut down the nets last season. With that said, the trademarks that have made OregonDavis one of the best teams in the state remain the same. The Lady Cats’ still feature tenacious defense that trap opponents to death and their full-court pressure delivers easy buckets galore. Also on display is their unselfish style of play, which features a plethora of sharing the basketball and balanced scoring. Terry Minix’s club featured all of the aforementioned traits to the fullest en route to a 71-23 blowout victory over visiting LaVille Wednesday night. “Anybody could tell it was a little bit sloppy,” junior Lexi Minix said, “but we still did some very good things at times.” Her dad agreed. “It’s a win,” said Minix, whose team improved to 4-0 on the season. “It wasn’t very pretty, but at the end of the day it was effective.” Minix wasn’t exactly thrilled with what he saw from his team. “There were a lot of things we did wrong,” Minix admitted. “Our communication wasn’t as good and as good as it has to be to be able to compete. “We got away with some things just because we were a lot bit quicker to the ball than they were.” He particularly singled out wanting to see all five players on the floor boxing out rather than just two or three on occasion. However, Oregon-Davis did control the glass and enjoyed many second-chance opportunities. It was obvious from the outset the Lady Cats were the superior team in this one. Like most teams, the Lancers had trouble with the Lady Cats’ defense. At halftime, LaVille had 19 turnovers, many led to easy transition baskets for the hosts. “That’s what we do,” said Minix when asked of his team’s propensity to force turnovers. “We want to get people going faster to what they want to. There are times where we give up easy lay ups at the other end, but if we can get three or four stops and get a basket here and there, and they only get one every four or five trips, the way I do math, I think we’re going to win.” Lexi Minix added, “We definitely pride ourselves on defense. Our defense leads to our offense. That’s always been our M.O. We have to force those turnovers in order for us to be successful. Everything starts with our defense.” ty minutes,” said Duncan. “I thought Ashley did a great job in the last quarter; she was able to handle the ball, hit some shots and hit some free throws. Speed of the game at the varsity level is obviously different. It was just good to get those kids out on the floor.” Plymouth stays unbeaten at 6-0 with a big game at Tippecanoe Valley tonight.

Noah had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Mirotic added 11 points and 12 rebounds as the Bulls bounced back from a double- overtime loss to Dallas on Tuesday night. Kirk Hinrich, who had the costly foul on a 3-point shot in the loss to the Mavericks, came up with two big 3-pointers in the final three minutes to help the Bulls improve to 10-3 on the road. It is the fifth straight game the Bulls have scored at least 100 points. Kemba Walker had 23 points, and Lance Stephenson had a season-high 20 points to lead the Hornets, who have lost 12 of 13. 76ers 85, TIMBERWOLVES 77 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers avoided tying the record for the worst start to a season in NBA history, ending their 0-17 skid with an 85-77 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Michael Carter-Williams had 20 points, nine rebounds and nine assists and Robert Covington added 17 points to keep Philadelphia from tying the 0-18 start by the New Jersey Nets in 2009-10. Gorgui Dieng had 15 points and 16 rebounds for the Timberwolves. But Minnesota shot just 35.7 percent and turned the ball over 19 times to lose for the 11th time in 13 games. CELTICS 109, PISTONS 102, OT BOSTON (AP) — Jeff Green scored 32 points, including a 3-pointer as Boston opened overtime with eight straight points, and snapped a five-game losing streak. The loss was the 10th in a row for Detroit. Greg Monroe scored 15 of his 29 points after the 3:13 mark of the fourth, when the Pistons erased an 11-point deficit. But Detroit never recovered after giving up the first three baskets — including a pair of 3-pointers — to start the extra period. Andre Drummond had 27 points, 14 rebounds, four steals and five blocked shots, including Green’s potential gamewinner at the end of regulation, for Detroit. Brandon Jennings had 12 assists and one point on 0-for-11 shooting. Kelly Olynyk had 20 points and seven rebounds for Boston, which had lost six in a row at home. NETS 95, SPURS 93, OT NEW YORK (AP) — Mirza Teletovic had a season-high 26 points and a career-best 15 rebounds starting in place of Kevin Garnett, and Brooklyn snapped San Antonio’s eight-game winning streak.

The Spurs endured poor shooting nights from their starting frontcourt and fell to 2-1 on a road trip that ends Friday at Memphis, which entered play Wednesday tied for the best record in the league. HAWKS 112, HEAT 102 MIAMI (AP) — Jeff Teague scored 27 points, Kyle Korver scored 18 and Atlanta handed Miami another home loss. Dennis Schroder scored 16 and Paul Millsap finished with 14 for the Hawks, who beat the Heat for the second time in two meetings this season. An 18-5 run to end the third quarter was the deciding blow for Atlanta, which led by 10 in the first quarter, 14 in the second and pushed the margin to 88-72 going into the final 12 minutes.

Mario Chalmers finished with 19 points and 11 assists for the Heat. No. 19 Michigan St loses to Notre Dame in OT SOUTH BEND (AP) — Playing six of their first eight games away from home might have been a bit much, even for coach Tom Izzo’s road warriors. Notre Dame guards Jerian Grant and Demetrius Jackson had career nights to help the Fighting Irish beat No. 19 Michigan State 79-78 in overtime Wednesday in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Grant had a career-high 27 points and six assists, and Jackson added a career-best 22 points in the first meeting between the schools in 35 years. “Nobody in our league has played even close to six road games,” Izzo said, adding: “The coach is an idiot, and I’ve said it for many years.” Michigan State (5-3) begins a seven-game home stretch on Saturday. Izzo thought his Spartans showed signs of wear down the stretch — particularly leading scorer Travis Trice, who has been fighting an illness the past two days. Trice was averaging 16.4 points per game coming in but finished with only seven on 3-of-13 shooting against the Irish. “I did not think he looked like himself at all,” Izzo said. “I didn’t see the burningness that you should see out of a senior, and that’s what I told him in the locker room. I’m hoping it was because he wasn’t feeling well.” Jackson’s three-point play 2:19 into overtime put the Fighting Irish (7-1) ahead by five. His free throw with 5 seconds left ended up being the winning margin after Denzel Valentine’s 3-pointer in the final second. Jackson scored six of Notre Dame’s 10 points in overtime. Grant had a threepoint play and a 3-pointer down the stretch to nearly win it in regulation for the Irish. “I love my guards,” Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. “I think I have the best backcourt in the country. Not a lot of people talk about them, but if you watched us tonight, it would be hard to argue against it.” Valentine finished with 22 points and Branden Dawson had 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for Michigan State. After Valentine dribbled the ball off his foot to give it back to Notre Dame with 2.3 seconds left in regulation, Grant had a shot to win it on a drive to the hoop, but Valentine stripped the ball at the buzzer to send the game to overtime. “We did enough good things to win, but we did enough bad things to lose,” Izzo said. Valentine’s 3-pointer with just more than two minutes to play tied it 64-all and stopped a 7-0 Irish run. Grant followed with a 3 on the next trip down the floor to get the lead back for Notre Dame, but Valentine answered with another 3 with 47 seconds left to tie it again at 67. Jackson blocked Matt Costello’s dunk attempt and then scored on a drive on the other end, and Grant grabbed a steal and converted a three-point play to give the Irish a 64-61 lead with 4:06 to go. “He’s so clutch,” Jackson said of his backcourt mate, Grant. “Sometimes I look at some of the moves he’s doing and I’m like, ‘I need to work on that.’ He makes so many plays.” Consecutive 3-pointers by Grant and Steve Vasturia sparked a 10-0 run late in the first half to give the Irish a seven-point lead. Bryn Forbes hit a fallaway 3 with a second on the shot clock to end that spurt and scored the Spartans’ final seven points of the half to cut Notre Dame’s lead to 37-35 at the break. TIP-INS Michigan State: After opening the season by playing six of their first eight games away from home, the Spartans play their next seven in East Lansing. Notre Dame: It was Notre Dame’s first game of the season against a Top 25 team. The Irish went 1-5 against ranked opponents last season. ON THE BOARDS Michigan State outrebounded the Irish 43-26, a deficit Brey wasn’t sure his team would be able to overcome. “I knew they’d be able to play volleyball on us. I didn’t know it was going to be that bad,” Brey said. “At least it didn’t beat us.” No. 4 Duke tops No. 2 Wisconsin; Virginia downs Maryland No. 4 DUKE 80, No. 2 WISCONSIN 70 MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Tyus Jones scored 22 points, Rasheed Sulaimon added 14 and No. 4 Duke shot 65 percent to beat No. 2 Wisconsin 80-70 on Wednesday night in a highly anticipated matchup of college basketball heavyweights. With 17 points, Wisconsin senior Frank Kaminsky outscored Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor (13 points) in a test for the two of the nation’s top big men. But it was another touted freshman, Jones, who helped open things up for the Blue Devils (8-0) in the second half. The lightning-quick guard beat defenders into the lane and added two 3-pointers against the Badgers (7-1). Jones followed a transition layup with an assist on Amile Jefferson’s jumper to cap a 6-0 run that gave Duke a 69-60 lead with about 3 minutes left in the showcase game of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. No. 7 VIRGINIA 76, No. 21 MARYLAND 65 scored 18 points, Justin Anderson added 16 and Virginia turned up the defense to Maryland its first loss. The Cavaliers (8-0) and Terrapins (7-1) played twice a year for decades when both were in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now in its first year as a member of the Big Ten, Maryland trailed throughout against its longtime rival in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Virginia limited the Terrapins to 16 baskets on 40 percent shooting and finished with a 34-22 rebounding advantage. The Cavaliers, who came in ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense, held Maryland 13 points below its season average. Ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since the 200910 season, Maryland got 16 points from freshman Melo Trimble and 14 from Jake Layman.

Gesell finished with 16 points for the Hawkeyes (6-2), who outfought the Tar Heels (5-2) on a night when both teams struggled to shoot straight. Gesell’s basket was the team’s first after a 4-minute drought, but it ended up providing the winning margin on a night when the Hawkeyes won despite shooting 33 percent and going 3 for 20 from 3-point range. After UNC’s Marcus Paige missed a 3-pointer for the tie, Gesell hit two free throws with 1 second left to seal it. Kennedy Meeks had 15 points and 12 rebounds for UNC, which shot just 28 percent and never found any type of offensive rhythm.

Mediacom scholarships available for high school seniors Bully prevention Photo Provided Liz Cobb, social worker and Kiyomi Hokyo have been working with Riverside Intermediate School students on bully prevention. Riverside recently conducted its second annual bully-free week. On Monday, all students signed the pledge that they would not bully. On Tuesday, it was Inside-Out Day. On Wednesday, everyone was asked to wear orange to “squeeze” out the bullies. The students also “Mixed-It Up” at lunch by sitting with different students. There were questions on the tables, so it was easier to get to know their new friends. On Thursday, it was Wild & Crazy Hair/Outfit Day. On Friday, the week wrapped up with Random Acts of Kindness. AUBURN — Mediacom Communications is offering $60,000 in scholarship support for high school students who are seniors and plan to obtain further education.

Michigan St., Plymouth THE PILOT NEWS GROUP Pilot News Fun & Advice Page A8 Pilot News • Thursday, December 4, 2014 Getting ticked off at lyme disease Dustin BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D. When former teen idol Debbie Gibson went public with the news she had Lyme disease, she hoped her fans would show compassion for her unhealthy appearance and lack of energy. Turns out, that was “Only in (Her) Dreams.” They took to social media, ridiculing her as skinny and unattractive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gets 30,000 reports annually about Americans with Lyme disease. But recently, they discovered that the actual number of folks diagnosed with the infection is 10 times that — 300,000! Who knows how many are undiagnosed. What this means, par- Blondie ticularly if you live in the Northeast and upper Midwest, where 96 percent of cases occur, is that you need to be aware of the symptoms. Early treatment with inexpensive antibiotics usually takes care of the problem. Day 3-30 after a Lymeinfected tick bite: About 70 percent to 80 percent of folks get a red, expanding bullseye rash. Fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes are other signs. Days to weeks later: More rashes appear, facial or Bell’s palsy can develop, along with severe headaches and a stiff neck (meningitis), painful and swollen joints, even heart palpitations and dizziness. These symptoms may go away without treatment, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods: Treatment helps you avoid chronic problems, even though 10 percent to 20 percent of folks who get treatment have lingering symptoms. So wear long sleeves, high socks and slacks, and use DEET insect repellant when you’re out and about. And see a doctor ASAP if you think you’ve been bitten. You know the symptoms. Chuckle of the day... I’ve only been wrong once, and that’s when I thought I was wrong. Writer’s sad story has happy ending almost 14 years later DEAR ABBY: You mentioned in a recent column that few people write to follow up on what happened since their original letter was published. You printed mine April 1, 2001. I am “Hurting in Houston,” the son who, with his partner, was suddenly no longer welcome in his parents’ home after they moved to a retirement community, because they were afraid their neighbors would shun them if they discovered they had a gay son. You advised that I should live my own life and, maybe, someday By Jeanne PhilliPs they would come around — and that is what I did. After a number of years, I received a call from a sibling informing me that my father was ill with only a short time left, and I should fly to their city to see him. I asked if I was wanted, and he said, “It doesn’t matter, just come!” So I swallowed my pride, flew there and made my way to the hospice house. Although my mother received me well, Dad did not, and we never had a good moment before he died a few days later. I told my mother I was staying for the funeral whether she liked it or not and had my partner fly in. After the service there was a gathering at Dear Abby my mother’s house with all their friends. I introduced my partner to them and everyone was as kind as could be. Many mentioned their own gay siblings or relatives. When the event was over, my mother said, “Wow, this has all been pretty silly, hasn’t it?” It was such a colossal understatement that I could not find words to respond. Ten years have passed; my mother is now in hospice care with only a short time left. We have built a great relationship, and she loves my partner of more than 20 years very much. We are glad to be able to be there for her. Much has changed in the world over these years and the acceptance of gays has been remarkable, but for me, having these last years with my mother’s love will be a comfort I can hold onto for the rest of my life. I have no great moral here, I just wanted to let you know what has happened. Thank you, Abby. — NO LONGER “HURTING IN HOUSTON” DEAR NO LONGER HURTING: And thank YOU for letting me and my readers know your story has a happy ending. I couldn’t be more pleased to know you are doing well. In case you didn’t see it, there was a follow-up column regarding your letter that was published May 24, 2001, in which a family in California offered to adopt you and your partner! PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) was mentioned in that follow-up and is still an excellent resource for building bridges of understanding in families. Find it at pflag.org.

Tickets: $10 It’s cookie time By AngelA Shelf MedeAriS The KiTchen Diva Of all the traditional baked confections we associate with the holidays, probably none is more popular than the cookie. During the holiday season, old recipes are pulled out — or special orders are placed — for a staggering and beautiful array of cookies in all sizes, shapes, colors and flavors. America is a melting pot, and there is no time when this is more evident than the holidays. Cookies from around the world make appearances at family celebrations or as gifts for friends and neighbors. If you follow the cookie trail in the United States, it will take you back to Colonial times, when the first record of a recipe for a “Christmas Cookey” can be found. The ingredients listed in the American Cookery recipe of 1797 note flour, sugar, butter, milk, powdered coriander and “pearlash,” a leavening agent made by soaking fireplace ashes in water to produce lye. It was a jumping off point to what has become a long-held and much-loved tradition. Cookies were brought to our country by the Europeans who settled here. Christmas cookie trees were a German invention. Highly decorative shortbread or sugar cookies were a gift from the Dutch. As America grew, so did her immigrant population. Today, the cookies we bake during the holidays reflect not only our own family traditions, but those of a vast culinary history from all over the globe. Looking even further back to the origins of the cookie, we can start with a basic recipe for a sugar cookie or tea cake. Many other cookies recipes from around the world have evolved from these simple ingredients. It is believed that hundreds of years ago, sugar cookies originated with the process of testing a cake recipe. Small spoonfuls of batter were baked to check for flavor and consistency. Shortbread cookies began life in ancient times as slightly sweetened biscuits. From there — with the additions of butter, fruits and chocolate, sprinkles and colored sugar — things went wild. Modern cookies are an unlimited variety of textures and flavors from bacon to candy corn. Try this recipe for Three-in-One Drop Cookie Dough, which uses the basic recipe for sugar cookies to create three different flavors: Sweet Citrus, Oatmeal Raisin and Chocolate Chip. You can make 45 cookies (15 of each flavor) using the simple, delicious ingredients below. Happy holidays! THREE-IN-ONE DROP COOKIE DOUGH 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt For Sweet Citrus Cookies: Zest of 1/2 lemon Zest of 1/2 lime Zest of 1/2 orange 1/4 cup sugar for sprinkling on top For Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies: 1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons rolled oats 1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons raisins For Chocolate Chip Cookies: 3/4 cup chocolate chips 1. Preheat the oven to 325 F. 2. Line three baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 3. In the bowl of mixer (or using a bowl and a handmixer), set on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy — approximately 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract and continue to mix one minute. Add flour, baking soda and salt, and continue to mix until wellcombined. 4. Divide the dough into three equal parts in three separate mixing bowls. Add the flavoring ingredients: the citrus zest in one bowl, reserving the sugar to sprinkle on top; the oatmeal and raisins in the second bowl; and the chocolate chips in the last bowl. Mix the ingredients in each bowl with a rubber spatula until well-combined. 5. Spoon teaspoon-sized drops onto the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the Sweet Citrus cookies with the sugar. 6. Bake each batch of cookies for 5 minutes, and rotate/turn the pan to bake the cookies evenly. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and are slightly soft in the center. Let cool at room temperature. Makes 45 cookies (one batch of dough, 15 of each flavor).

In case it gets below freezing and snows, the ice and snow won’t stick to the windows. When the other cars’ windows are covered with ice and snow, mine are clear. -- Marvin O. in Montana This is an old, classic Heloise hint. You want to mix either white or cider vinegar with water (a ratio of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water) before using on car windows. This hint is one of many in my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet. To order one, which includes some favorite recipes and other money-saving hints, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. I keep a microfiber cloth under the front seat and one in the glove box. When stuck at a loooong (yes, I spelled it loooong!) light, I figure, why waste that time?

Call Marty Smith Local Pilot News • Thursday, December 4, 2014 Page A11 Ancilla College offering accelerated winter term Sound check Photo Provided Students in Cathy Strycker’s third-grade classroom at Triton Elementary School have been learning about sound. During the first unit they learned that sound is energy that can be heard through vibrations. Each student has participated in several inquiry activities to see how the vibrations of sound move with string, tuning forks, and water. They have discovered that different thicknesses and lengths of string change the vibrations making sound easier to hear, changing its pitch (low or high), or volume (loud or soft). After learning scientific principles and taking part in inquiry activities, students were able to draw designs in their science notebooks to create musical instruments. Students were required to have at least three sounds, use at least one string, budget their materials to under $10, and check that the instrument stayed within 12 inches of height. Third-graders created some amazing instruments to meet their criteria. Soon they will begin SLED Sound Unit 2 where they will learn about how sound travels, and if solids, liquids, and gasses change how sound travels. From left, Allison Baer, Eli Lucas, and Brendan King display their instrument. 4-H enrollment in full swing With the holiday season upon us, the Purdue Extension – Marshall County office would like to remind youth to sign up for 4-H.

Food & Fun DONALDSON — College students looking to earn extra college credit over the holiday break can enroll in a pilot program at Ancilla College. Ancilla is offering an online psychology course in a four-week winter term this year from Dec. 15 - Jan. 9. “This so-called ‘mini-mester ’ between our fall and spring terms was designed for students who need 30 credits annually for full state-grant funding or for athletes who need it for eligibility,” said Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Joanna F. Blount. “But any student on winter break can take advantage of our low-cost online class and get ahead on their college career.” The class, Introduction to Psychology, is a three-credit online course offered at a reduced price during a four-week term. Students can apply at no cost online at www.ancilla. edu. The online course is $1,065 and requires only one textbook, Blount said. Students will have access to their instructor’s notes, class presentations, tests and discussions 24 hours a day on Ancilla’s online course system. Apply for free online at www.ancilla.edu and select “Winter Term” in the application. Current students can apply through their adviser. Work will be due three times a week. Class size is limited to 30 students.
