MERRILLVILLE — NIPSCO offi cials recently announced that with normal winter temperatures, its customers’ heating bills will be approximately 1 percent higher than last winter’s bills — and some of the lowest bills in the last decade.
Over the course of the fi ve-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO’s average residential customers using a total of 624 therms of natural gas could expect to pay approximately $437.
That compares to $433 for a customer using the same amount of gas during last winter.
NIPSCO’s projections take into market forecasts, supply trends
and storage levels, among other considerations.
NIPSCO offi cials said the company has among the lowest residential gas bills in Indiana, according to comparisons released monthly by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.
The utility said actual bills will vary by customer depending on a home’s age and size, the number in the household, number and age of gas appliances, thermostat settings and insulation levels.
“Natural gas continues to be one of the lowest-cost, most reliable and abundant energy sources for customers,” said NIPSCO CEO Jim Stanley. “The outlook on natural gas prices and
domestic supplies remain stable for the foreseeable future, which is great news as we head toward the winter heating season.”
While winter bill amounts are projected to be relatively fl at compared to last winter, the company expects usage amounts to be slightly higher. Last winter’s usage was lower than normal due to warmer temperatures during some months.
The cost of natural gas represents the largest portion of customer bills — on average, two-thirds of an overall bill. NIPSCO said it has no mark-up and makes no profi t on the cost of natural gas billed to its customers. Before billing, natural gas
commodity costs must be reviewed by the IURC.
Stanley said NIPSCO cannot control market conditions affecting the price of natural gas, but it does negotiate the best possible price for the natural gas it purchases for its customers.
NIPSCO buys gas from a variety of supply sources at different times throughout the year. The ability to store gas helps to offset market price swings, the utility said.
NIPSCO’s gas distribution system consists of three on-system storage facilities. The utility connects to seven interstate pipelines, providing access to eight major North American supply basins.
NIPSCO forecasts stable heat costs

BY JEFF [email protected] — High
school volleyball matches, especially at sectional time, often feature big momentum swings.
Such was the case Saturday in the Eastside-South Adams semi-fi nal match in the Class 2A Woodlan Sectional.
The Blazers led the fi fth and deciding game 11-7, when all of a sudden the Starfi res threw a switch and rattled off three quick points — two kills by freshman Morgan Alberson and an ace from Cindy Int’Groen.
Eastside (13-22) got a kill from Erin Strock to temporarily halt the momentum, but Alberson added two more kills, including one through a double block, to give the Starfi res their fi rst lead of the deciding match at 13-12.
Strock tied it with a back row tip, but senior Alyssa Bluhm fi nished off the Blazers with the last of her match-high 29 kills and six blocks on the fi nal two points, giving South Adams a 25-21, 29-31, 25-19, 19-25, 15-13 win.
It was a disappointing ending for the Blazers, but head coach Jordan Staus had no complaints about how her team played.
“I told them I was proud
of them, that they took it as far as they could go,” Staus said. “I would have loved to have won the game, but they played hard. They played great defense and great offense.
“I couldn’t ask for anything better than that,” she added. “It just wasn’t their time I guess.”
Early, the Blazers had few answers for Bluhm, who had three kills and two blocks down the stretch in the fi rst game win.
Eastside rallied for a high-scoring 31-29 win in the second game. South Adams rebounded for a 25-19 in the third game before the Blazers forced a winner-take-all fi nish with a 25-19 win in game four.
The Blazers jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the deciding game, behind three kills by Kailen Berry.
Three kills and an ace by South Adams’ Caralie Farlow cut the defi cit to 8-7, but Eastside stretched its advantage to four thanks to two Strock kills and a net interference call against the Starfi res.
Strock fi nished unoffi -cially with 23 kills. Berry had 16 and Maddy Minehart had 11 to go with two blocks. Kylee Yoder had 46 assists and two aces.
Bluhm had 29 kills. Alberson chipped in with 18 and freshman Abby Myers had nine. Another freshman, Emma Rosswurm, had 42 assists, and Bluhm added 15.
As the match wore on, Eastside adjusted to Bluhm’s play in the middle, and did a better job of digging up her attacks.
“We played South Adams earlier this year, and we had seen her already. We knew where her sweet spots were, and we tried to move the defense over to try and shut her down,” Staus said.
“She’s a smart player, probably one of the best I’ve seen play against us this year. She can tip, she’s a good blocker, she’s smart on the court. All around, she’s a great player.”
At the same time, there was plenty to like about the Blazers’ performance, particularly Strock and senior defensive specialist
Brooke Staley, Staus said.“Brooke was picking up
(Bluhm’s shots),” the Blazer coach said. “She played excellent defense, and when Erin was in the front row, we could count on her for a kill.
“I just wish we could have won.”
Out of BoundsEastside played nine
teams who were either sectional champions or runners-up this season. Champions were Fairfi eld, North Judson, Westview and Woodlan. Runners-up were Central Noble, DeKalb, Northfi eld, South Adams and Tippecanoe Valley.
The second game was the highest scoring in Eastside history since the rally-scoring era began in
2002. The previous record was a 30-28 game win over Churubusco in the 2009 NECC tournament. Eastside lost the match, however.
Rebecca Ruckman holds the Eastside record with 48 assists, set in 2004 against Fairfi eld. Ashley Everhart holds the record for most kills in a match with 28 against Garrett in 2005.

WOODBURN — The name of the game is survival.
Eastside’s volleyball team did just that, sweeping Bluffton 25-18, 25-19, 25-20 in Class 2A sectional action at Woodlan High School.
Eastside (13-22) never trailed by more than two points in any game Thursday.
“I told them they were fully-ca-pable of beating (Bluffton). I’m glad they believed in themselves and pulled it off,” said Eastside coach Jordan Staus.
“I liked, if it got close, how they just calmed themselves down, got a good pass, set, got a kill and pumped themselves right up again.
“I liked how, if they made a mistake, that they shook it off, made a play and got on a roll,” Staus said.
Junior Erin Strock fi nished with 15 kills for Eastside. Classmates
Kailen Berry (seven kills) and Maddy Minehart (four kills, four blocks) were also factors at the net.
Junior Kylee Yoder had 24 assists. Senior Brooke Staley led the Blazers with 19 digs. Strock added 13 and sophomore Ashton Miller had seven.
The Tigers, who fi nished the year at 8-21, eliminated the Blazers in last year’s sectional.
Junior Kennedy Johnson had nine kills and senior Paige Jacobs had eight for Bluffton. Senior Rachel Bertsch had 26 assists.
A Yoder ace and Strock kill late in the fi rst game gave the Blazers a 23-18 advantage they wouldn’t relinquish.
Eastside led 10-4 early in game two, but a Bertsch kill and two Sierra Steffen aces enabled the Tigers to pull within two, 20-18. Kills by Strock and Berry propelled the Blazers to the
second-game win.The third game was tied eight
times, the last at 11-all. A tip and kill by Strock put Eastside ahead for good, 14-12, but not comfort-ably.
Strock had a back row kill, and the Blazers added a tip for their biggest lead at 21-15.
The Tigers tried to rally as Caroline Mettler served an ace and Steffen added a tip to make it 21-18. The Blazers closed out the match on a Staley ace.
Out of boundsThis win snapped a 10-game
post-season losing streak for Eastside’s volleyball program. The Blazers won the 2003 sectional and lost to Adams Central in regional action at Oak Hill High School that season. Eastside did not win another sectional match until Thursday.

BY JEFF [email protected] —
Senior running backs Kane Johnson and Cody Conwell combined for 354 yards rushing, leading the Class 2A No. 9 Churubusco Eagles to a 28-13 win over the Eastside Blazers in Sectional 34 action at Churubusco Friday.
Johnson fi nished with 17 carries for 197 yards, with 160 yards coming in the fi rst half. Conwell carried 19 times for 157 yards, with all but 17 coming in the second half.
Junior P.J. Dean led the Eastside attack with 147 yards rushing on 26 attempts, scoring both Blazer touchdowns. Senior Kadis Renier added 82 yards on 13 tries.
The Blazers survived a lost fumble on the opening kick-off, forcing the Eagles to give up the ball on downs near midfi eld. It took the Blazers just two plays to reach the end zone, with Dean breaking loose for a 48-yard run at 10:24 of the fi rst quarter.
Churubusco responded with a score on its next possession. Four runs of eight yards or more by Johnson gave the Eagles the ball at the one, and Conwell scored on the next play with 7:09 left in the fi rst.
With the score knotted at 7-7 in the second quarter and the ball deep in the Churubusco end, Johnson followed his blockers on a sweep to the right. One big block sent Johnson off to the races for a 70-yard score with 5:44 left in the half.
The Blazers bounced right back, with Renier ripping off a nice 26-yard gain into Eagle territory. The visitors reached the Churubusco three before a fumble ended the drive with 35 seconds left in the half.
Late in the third, the Eagles increased their lead to 21-7 as Conwell scored from the four with 4:01 remaining. The big play in this drive was a 40-yard run by Beau Barkley to the Eastside 10.
Back came the Blazers.Starting from their own
14, the Blazers methodically moved the ball, mixing just enough passing with solid runs by the shifty Dean and Renier. Dean ran twice for nice gains into Eagle territory, and completed two passes to Renier as the Blazers reached the Eagle 17.
Three plays into the fourth quarter, Dean squirted into the end zone. The Eagles managed to defl ect Kyle Franz’s extra point kick, and maintained a 21-13 lead with plenty of football left.
Eastside needed a stop or a turnover, and the defense delivered on Churubusco’s next possession. The Eagles were twice called for holding, and at the Eastside 15, Johnson coughed up the football, with the Blazers recovering.
With 7:17 to play and backed up in its own end, Eastside fi gured this might be its last chance in a one-possession game.
Churubusco knew it too, and nearly intercepted Eastside’s Conner Dove on a fi rst-down pass. A holding penalty cost the Blazers valuable yardade. Two short runs and a Dean-to-Jesse Eck completion fell short of fi rst-down yardage, and the Eagles took over at the Eastside 14 with 3:58 to play.
Barkley put the game out of reach, scoring on the very next play. Taylor Fisher’s extra point made it 28-13.
Eastside threatened to draw closer in the fi nal minutes, but Barkley intercepted a tipped Dove pass in the end zone with 2:31 remaining.
The Blazers’ season ends at 4-6.
Extra PointsP.J. Dean fi nished the
season with more than 1,300 yards rushing, becoming the fi rst Eastside player to break the 1,000-yard barrier since Corey Fogle ran for 1,686
yards in 2003.Churubusco leads the
all-time series 32-17, including previous sectional wins in 1994 and 2007.

BUTLER PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWS
LETTER TO THE EDITORProminent citizens
founded Butler Rotary Club
To the editor,An interesting historical
article about the 75th year of the Butler Rotary Club was printed recently. As I recall, Rotary was the fi rst service organization in Butler. Several lodges were present in town. I’ve written this letter to share information about some of the charter members. They were some of the prominent citizens in Butler when I was growing up.
The club president was C.J. Maxton, owner and president of Maxton Motors, the GM dealership. John Paul Price was the superin-tendent of schools in Butler. Burdette Powers was the publisher and editor of the local newspaper, The Record-Herald. Otis Fisher was the cashier of Knisely Bank in Butler. Earl Brant was a businessman and insurance agent. Other charter members
listed were: L.C. “Red” Bercaw, Allis-Chalmers farm implement dealer; C.C. Cook, owner of the Butler Lumber Co.; Lyston Harding, president of Knisely Bank; C.B. Hathaway, physician and surgeon; Dorsie Marshall, owner and president of GameMaster clothing (manufacturer of athletic uniforms and insulated undergarments); Jesse Oberlin, grocer; Roy Oberlin, insurance agent; Armand “Shorty” Sicard, The Butler Company; Henry Springer, attorney; Leighton Tombow, owner and operator of Tombow Greenhouse and Floral on West Green Street; Charles Weirich, physician. I was not familiar with the business connections of the other listed persons.
As many know, towns and small cities of that era, prior to World War II, were fairly self-suffi cient and had many of the amenities and conveniences no longer present.

future purpose of draft animals. For nearly 75 years, the association has worked to educate the general public about the usefulness of draft animals in society.
The association’s work has been accomplished through public service educational programs, demonstrations, draft animal shows, funeral service assistance, 4-H club involvement and horsedrawn services for both public and private events covering all 12 months of the calendar year.
The activities are conducted by volunteer association members in and around northeast Indiana. Donations received from both public and private groups in support of the association’s goals, member-
ship dues, and donations for services performed by volunteer members make up the funding source of the association’s activities.
The association provides both monetary and services support to other not-for-profi t organizations in northeast Indiana.
In 2010, the associa-tion began a fundraising campaign with a goal of purchasing land and erecting a home base in the form of a Draft Animal Museum.
Association members said the museum will reach out to the general public and advance its mission, building an educated understanding of the true value of the draft animal in the past and in today’s fast-paced society.
