Four seek GOP House nomination AUBURN — Four candidates are running for the Republican nomination for District 52 state representative, and each consider himself the best person for the job. House District 52 has new boundaries created by redistricting. It consists of all of DeKalb County, Perry Township and Huntertown in Allen County and Hamilton and Otsego and Richland townships in the southeast corner of Steuben County. Republicans Gary Harbaugh, Paul Moss, David Powers and Ben Smaltz have been blanketing the district with yard signs and shaking hands, hoping to attract enough votes to win the May 8 primary election. The winner will run in the November general election against Democrat Charles Odier, who is unopposed in the primary. Profiles of the Republican candidates:
NEWS IN BRIEF Museum sponsors veterans’ job fair AUBURN — The National Military History Center is hosting a free Veterans Job and Information Fair on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is being coordinated by museum volunteer Cordell Marc Tjaden, PSNCO, retired U.S. Army veteran. “Marc has given hours upon hours of his time to make this event successful for veterans throughout the Tri-State region,” said Rita Bauman, a representative of the Dean V. Kruse Foundation that operates the history center. “He has traveled hundreds of miles to personally meet with veteran service agencies, community organizations, and employers. Being a veteran himself, Marc knows how difficult it is to figure out what benefits you are entitled to and he wanted to help other veterans having the same problems. He has put together a ‘one-stop event’ for those veterans looking for assistance or work.” One of the programs being offered is a resume-writing class for those who need help. An appointment is required for the resume-writing assistance. To date, 55 vendors have signed up to attend, with more being added daily. The museum at 5634 C.R. 11-A will be open for tours Thursday, with veterans being admitted for $4. For more information on the fair, contact Marc Tjaden at 710-3995 or the museum at 927-9144.
Museum plans volunteer fair AUBURN — The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum will host a Volunteer Recruitment Fair on Thursday beginning at 10 a.m. Volunteers at the museum do everything from talking with visitors and answering phones to helping outside with gardening in the summer. They staff the admissions desk, work in the museum store and help clean and maintain the automobiles. The volunteers will serve as hosts for the event and answer questions about their responsibilities. Visitors can tell the volunteers how they would like to contribute their time, and the volunteers will help them find out where they fit best. Volunteers receive special benefits including attending social functions, monthly meetings and special dinners, plus discounts in the museum store, meet visitors from all over the globe, and serve as a part of a team that preserves a piece of Auburn’s history.

Harbaugh, 62, of Fort Wayne, said he has the best plan among the candidates to scale back control of the federal government in state affairs. If elected, Harbaugh said, he would lead the charge to seek a constitutional convention to repeal Harbaugh the 17th Amendment. The amendment, ratified in 1913, called for popular election of U.S. senators. Before to the amendment, state legislators elected senators. Harbaugh said the amendment expanded the federal government and took away state sovereignty. Without senators answering to state
Moss, 48, of Huntertown, said his knowledge of health care and business issues would best allow him to move up the leadership ranks of the State House. The higher the District 52 representative rises in the leadership chain, the more clout DeKalb Moss County and northeast Indiana will have in the statehouse, Moss argued. “If you look historically at northeast Indiana and its delegation, its influence at the statehouse has ebbed and flowed. The last few years, it has dropped off due to turnover,” he said. “If you look at
Powers, 67, of Auburn, said he’s the only candidate with a plan to rein in the power and authority of state agencies, the only candidate to serve as a college president and president of the board for a state college and the only candidate that’s a Powers tea party conservative. Powers, now retired, has been an ordained pastor for more than 40 years. He is endorsed by the Indiana Family Action PAC. He is a life member of the National Rifle Association “I think it’s the width and breath of my experience in both the life of
Smaltz, 42, of Auburn, is serving in his seventh year as president of the DeKalb County Council, his 10th year as a member of the council and his 24th year as owner of Taylor Rental in Auburn, his family business. “My experience balancing budgets, Smaltz working with people, having to deal with government regulations and knowing the people of this community better than anyone else makes me the best choice to be the District 52 representative,” he said. Understanding budget issues is critical, since 2013 is a state budget year, he said.

Speakers offer prayer for leaders By Sue Carpenter suec@kpcnews.net AUBURN — “Where two or more are gathered I will hear your prayers, this is God’s promise,” DeKalb County coordinator Erma Casselman told hundreds gathered Thursday night for the 61st annual National Day of Prayer Rally at the National Military History Center. The theme for the evening was based on Psalm 33:12 — “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” “We come together as one in Christ tonight to pray for our nation, for our homes, for our neighbors and our churches, communities and our nation’s leaders,” Casselman said. “Let’s take a stand, with wisdom from God, to keep this one nation under God.” She asked voters in the upcoming primary and fall elections to seek God’s guidance and wisdom, and also encouraged people to get out and vote. “All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men and women to stay home and do nothing,” Casselman said. The Garrett High School concert choir opened the event with special music. Director Jennifer Fast sang the national anthem and led the in the singing of the hymn, “Standing on the Promises.” Three members of Girl Scout Troop 20798 from Lakewood Park Christian School led the pledges to the American flag, Christian flag and the Bible. Garrett Mayor Tonya Hoeffel offered an opening prayer giving thanks for blessings bestowed by God. “It ever we need to stand united,

it is now,” she prayed. “Our nation again faces battlefields, along with an epidemic of broken homes, violence, drugs and social strife. “As our heroes of our nation did in the past, we must again bow our heads in prayer, we must ask you Lord to bless our leaders with wisdom and protection, and that we will have the fortitude to overcome the challenges at hand. Father, we know nothing is beyond your concern or beyond your power. Grant us peace and grace as we unite as your people.” The Rev. Ted Jansen from Auburn First United Methodist Church offered a prayer for government leaders, saying, “We pray that your kingdom will come on earth, as it is in heaven. We thank you for the many servants who seek to ➤Prayer rally, Page 3

A candidate for state office is irked over what he calls mass thievery of his campaign signs — including one that was bolted onto a billboard. “They even climbed up on a billboard and unscrewed it,” state Rep. David Yarde, R-Garrett, said. Yarde is running in the May 8 primary against state Sen. Sue Glick for the Republican nomination for the Senate District 13 seat Glick currently holds. Over the last 10 days, Yarde has had approximately 300 signs stolen, he said. “I’m losing about all of my signs in LaGrange and Noble counties right now,” Yarde said. “We have permission from everyone to put them up. They’re not in the rights of way.” Yarde said some of the signs that have been taken were 4-by-6 feet. “I’m just fit to be tied,” Yarde said. Yarde said someone caught stealing signs could face criminal charges, and said Tuesday afternoon he planned on filing police reports in the areas where the signs have been stolen.

He then asked veterans and first responders in the audience to stand for recognition. DeKalb County Councilman Ben Smaltz offered prayer for education and families, thanking God for “the wonders you deliver to us every day. “We know the future of our country depends on the foundation of the family. We want our children to learn about math and science and history in school that honors you,” he said. This is made difficult because of those who wish to destroy Christian values by seeking to remove God from schools, government, society, and ultimately, family, Smaltz said. “We ask that you help strengthen our families and create a foundation upon which our children can establish families of their own, and walk with them on a Christ-centered life,” Smaltz prayed. The Rev. Betty Sivis from the First Christian Church Disciples in Christ of Auburn led the audience in prayer for the news media. “We give thanks for having enlightened the human mind and discover the power of the media to inform,” she said. “We give you thanks for the educational potential of the Internet, how it connects us in positive ways with the global community.” She also gave thanks for the “amazing tools of social communications, social media, and its ability to allow people to communicate with family friends and countrymen in this often hectic age.” Misuse of these gifts can often damage human dignity, she said, noting the physical, mental and spiritual abuse suffered by others. “For this, forgive us God,” Sivis prayed. “Keep us safe from words and information that are used as weapons of hate, and restore unto us the peace and tranquility that is only of you.” State Sen.

convention).” Harbaugh spent about 20 years in community banking, focusing on trust accounts and bank investments. He also has worked as a licensed real estate agent. He was an instructor for the Detroit Chapter of the American Institute of Banking and has served as the precinct committeeman and a state
convention delegate in both Michigan and Indiana. Harbaugh said people want to know their government is listening to their concerns and is responsive. Government spending is another concern, he said. “People don’t want a government that spends itself into situations where it has to raise taxes,” he said.
Moss is serving his second term as an at-large member of the Allen County Council and has served as the council’s president twice. He is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association and has served on various other boards. Moss said northeast Indiana needs to look at itself as a group instead of individual districts. “We’ll be able to accomplish a lot more if we stick together,” he said. Understanding the
trickle-down effects of national health care reform legislation is important, such as the move to possible health care exchanges, Moss said. “Every session there are 75-100 health-care related bills and only a few legislators with the background to understand them,” he said Moss said local control over issues is important. “I don’t believe the state has the answers for everything,” he said. “That would be my philosophy.”

Our founders granted us the opportunity to prove ourselves to almighty God. “Our nation was created as a free country and to allow Christianity to flourish,” he said. “Today, our security and our freedom are challenged by those who have no respect for the original American principles and the original American way of life as it was started. “It is time to reteach the American people and elected officials our nation’s founding principles and core values, which have been forgotten by many and distorted by others,” Kruse said. “We need to fight to fulfill the vision of our founders in America — where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish by championing these ideas every day, inch by inch.” “We need to work to protect these ideals, and to

preserve America’s heritage for the next generation. We must not flinch in this struggle, because the world our children and grandchildren will inherit depends on the outcome of our pursuits,” Kruse said. “Today we must pursue to fulfill the founding father’s vision to create a nation based on Christianity and liberty,” he said. “We need our government to turn these ideals into policies and laws.” He encouraged those wishing to bring the country back to its founder’s vision to become a peculiar treasure to God in the community. “If we are going to preserve our freedom, it is up to us, not someone else. We should each be a living demonstration of Christ in our society and in our governments,” Kruse said. “Everyone can get on their knees and cry out to God so that we can turn this nation back to him,” he said. “God is proving you and me. Will we pass the test?” he asked. Audience members joined hands and circled the room as retired Pastor Sam Weimer from the Independent Full Gospel Church in Ashley closed with prayer. The group then joined in singing “God Bless America.”

He also serves as the CEO of Medpartners, a private company with more than 70,000 members throughout northeast Indiana using its group health PPO products.
Powers from Page 1 the church and business and education and politics that sets me apart from the other candidates,” he said. If elected, Powers said, he would want to get involved in higher-education issues to help develop a program that teaches better vocational education beyond high school courses. “We have jobs in this area, but employers are having trouble finding qualified people to fill them. They’ve got to have the
right skills,” Powers said. He said he would try to bring higher education to DeKalb County. “We’re letting higher education be handled by Allen County,” Powers said. “We’ve got to bring higher education to our doorstep.” Methamphetamine and illegal immigration are linked problems in northeast Indiana, Powers said. Citing a 2008 legislative study, he said illegal immigrants bring in most of the meth
from across the Mexico border. Powers said not a lot can be done to stop the national meth problem until the federal government heightens security on the Mexican border. “We need to make the illegal immigrant feel unwelcome,” he said. “That means no health benefits unless it’s a life-threatening issue, no education, no benefits at all unless you’re a citizen.”
Smaltz from Page 1 “We need to balance the budget without smoke and mirrors,” he said. Smaltz said his experience as a small business owner has taught him how taxes impact individuals and businesses. “It will make me resist any new taxes, and my experience in the past shows I’ve sought out ways to reduce taxes,” he said. Fighting methamphetamine is an important issue to Smaltz. Meth is being made with ingredients purchased in DeKalb County, Smaltz said. “You can go buy the ingredients here and have it done in two hours,” he said. “It’s tearing families apart.”
Smaltz said the only way to curb the meth problem is to make pseudoephedrine — a key ingredient in popular allergy medications and also meth — a prescription-only drug. Smaltz, who said he has allergies, said the inconvenience of getting a prescrip-
tion is worth it. Indiana taxpayers paid $1.8 billion in 2005 to fight meth — a number that has doubled since then. “We have to fight the fight,” he said. “I will never stop fighting the meth problem.”

Visiting diplomat says Mexico is changing BY BOB CULP bculp@kpcnews.net AUBURN — Eduardo Arnal Palomera, consul general of Mexico in Chicago, met with DeKalb County leaders Monday afternoon to spread the message that Mexico is changing for the better. “Mexico is Palomera not the same country as it was in the past,” he said. “There’s a new generation of young people coming up trying to make things better, and it’s working.” Consuls general help foreign nationals based in the United States and act as a diplomatic channel for local governments with Mexico. Palomera, 41, visited Auburn as part of his northeast Indiana tour. He plans to visit each of the 133 counties in his jurisdiction of southern Wisconsin, southern Michigan, northern Illinois and northern Indiana. Auburn Mayor Norm Yoder, Garrett Mayor Tonya Hoeffel, DeKalb County Sheriff Don Lauer, DeKalb County Commissioners Don Grogg and Randy Deetz and Auburn city attorney Erik Weber, among others, talked with Palomera and other representatives from the Chicago consul general office for about two hours in the Auburn City Council Chambers. Most of the discussion was based around immigration issues and an identification card available to all Mexican nationals in the United States. Palomera showed the crowd his identification card
as an example. It included basic identification information as well as markers such as fingerprints to aid law enforcement in identifying Mexican citizens. Palomera encourages all Mexican citizens to contact his office and obtain a card. It won’t act as a legal means to be in the country, he said, but it will help law enforcement and other agencies in proving a person’s identity. The consul can assist with obtaining the information from Mexico, he said. Anybody with questions is encouraged to contact the consul at 1-887-639-4835 or 312-738-2383. “It’s beneficial knowing, without a doubt, who people are,” Lauer said. “It would definitely help out if more people had the cards.” Palomera said his office encourages people to learn English and participate in their communities, but most don’t — even if they’ve lived here and paid taxes for decades — for fear of deportation. He said Mexico’s improvements are helping the complex illegal immigration problem. Mexico is the second-largest supplier of oil to the United States, Palomera said. Since the passing of the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, Mexico’s trade with Indiana has increased 500 percent. The Mexican economy is growing at 3.5 percent each year, proving that positive things are on the horizon, he said. Mexico has about 12 million fewer people under poverty than in 2000, Palomera said. “We’re closing the gap, but it’s not enough,” he said. “That’s why they come here looking for better opportuni-
ties.” Palomera said it’s just a matter of time before the United States passes comprehensive immigration reform, such as a guest worker program, similar to the one in Canada. This would allow Mexican workers who prove they have the skills and a job in the United States to work legally and be able to return home — without having to go through immigration. “People ask me why more Mexicans don’t become citizens or go through immigration legally. It’s because the system is impossible,” he said. “Eventually, (the United States) is going to realize that it’s cheaper and faster to work with us then building walls.” Palomera said Mexico is a safe country to visit. Violence that has received media attention in the United States is limited to five states and six cities, he said, and Mexican police and courts are changing. “We’re aggressively recruiting new police officers that are honest, trustworthy and share our values,” Palomera said. “We’re seeing a lot of progress.” He said as long as there is a demand for drugs in the United States, criminals elsewhere will cater it. Palomera said Mexican law enforcement is cracking down and making conditions impossible to operate and sell drugs in Mexico. “It’s going to take time,” he said, “but we’re not going to stop until we get our goal.” Yoder said the discussion was important. “I think we all have misconceptions about what’s really happening, and it’s good to talk to a direct source about what’s going on,” the mayor said.

The lasting impact of a great educator Teachers have the ability to positively influence future generations of Hoosiers. Undoubtedly, a great teacher can make a lasting impact in a student’s life and steer our children in a direction for a more promising future career. I’ve seen firsthand the difference a teacher can make. Our teachers bear a tremendous amount of responsibility in transforming and expanding the minds of our youngest students. This is no easy task, and teachers put in countless hours of time and some spend their own money to help provide students with the tools and know-how to lead them

DNR to monitor bass tournaments in 2012 From Staff Reports ANGOLA — Bass fishing appears to be improving, says Indiana Department of Natural Resources data from monitoring bass tournaments. And that monitoring of tournaments will continue this year, including on lakes in Steuben and Noble counties, among others in northern Indiana. The DNR will monitor bass fishing tournaments at 10 northern Indiana natural lakes this spring and summer as part of a twoyear study of the effect of current fishing regulations on bass populations and fishing success. Biologists with the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife will count and measure bass brought to weigh-ins by tournament anglers. Monitoring the tournaments provides information on bass abundance, size and health, as well as data on angler participation levels and bass catch rates, said a DNR news release. The information is used to track longterm changes in bass populations. Lakes on this year’s list include Barbee, Chapman, Dewart and Tippecanoe in
Kosciusko County; Crooked and James in Steuben County; Waldron in Noble County; Manitou in Fulton County; Pine/Stone in LaPorte County; and Koontz in Starke County. Unlike at state-owned lakes in Indiana, DNR permits are not required at these 10 lakes to host fishing tournaments. Consequently, no system is in place for tournament organizers to report their results. DNR biologists monitored 10 events last year at six lakes in Steuben, Marshall and Kosciusko counties. Preliminary results indicate bass fishing is improving in northern Indiana’s natural lakes. Last year anglers fished an average of 3.7 hours for every legal-size bass they brought to the weigh-ins. They took 5.9 hours to catch a legal-size bass 10 years ago. Legal-size bass are at least 14 inches long. Although tournament anglers fished 67 hours for every trophy-size bass they brought to weigh-ins last year, that figure was better than the 125 hours anglers needed to catch a trophysize bass 10 years ago. Trophy-size bass are at least 18 inches long.
