United Way awards volunteers at breakfast
By NICK RUPERT
The Post & Mail
COLUMBIA CITY — The 2016
fundraising campaign for United
Way of Whitley County began
Tuesday with its annual Day of
Caring.
Leaders of United Way presented awards to supporters and
volunteers at the Day of Caring
breakfast early Tuesday morning
in the Whitley County 4-H Center, before volunteers were put to
work.
Parkview Whitley Hospital
was awarded the Acts of Service
Award, which was accepted by
the hospital’s president Scott Gabriel.
“They desire to care for their
patients. They desire to go the
extra mile every day for every
one of them,” said Shawn Ellis of
United Way.
Dani Tippmann, director of the
Whitley County Historical Society, presented the Volunteer of
the Year award to Dick and Pam
Cook.
“They have done so many
things,” Tippmann said. “They
care about our community.”
Appreciation awards were also
given to Gary Parrett and Tammy
Fearnow for assisting the community and the missions of United Way.
Following the presentation of
awards, Baker gave instruction
and approximately 250 participants volunteered around Whitley County as part of United
Way’s Day of Caring.

COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City High School’s
girls volleyball team was involved in a crash on the way
home from its match at Norwell Tuesday.
According to reports, a
van ran a stop sign at U.S.
224 and Wells County Road
300 East, hitting the school
bus that was transporting
the team.
According to the Bluffton
News-Banner, the bus driver, Donald W. Tupper, 69, of
Columbia City, was thrown
from the side door of the
school bus.
The News-Banner reports
seven passengers in the
school bus suffered minor

Francis arrives at the White House
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mustering all the pageantry the White
House has to offer, President
Barack Obama welcomed Pope
Francis to Washington on Wednesday. The pope arrived before an
adoring crowd of 15,000 and a
nation that seemingly cannot get
enough of the humble pontiff who
is rejuvenating American Catholi-
cism while giving heartburn to
some of its conservatives.
With flags snapping, color guard
at attention and a military band
playing brassy marches, Francis
stepped onto the South Lawn on
a crisp fall morning that felt as
optimistic as his own persona.
The Obamas looked positively
charmed when Francis’ tiny Fiat
pulled up, perhaps the smallest
car that has ever brought a visiting
dignitary to their lawn.
Pope and president stood on a
red-carpeted platform bedecked
with red, white and blue bunting
to stand at attention for the national anthems of the Hole See and the
United States.
Just before the pope arrived,
A little shine
Crash,
Obama had tweeted to the Holy
Father: “Welcome to the White
House, @Pontifex! Your messages
of love, hope, and peace have inspired us all.”
After opening remarks on the
lawn, the two were to head inside
to the Oval Office for a one-on-one
meeting where each hoped to find
common cause with the other on

bus, including Tupper.
Tupper was transported by ambulance to
Lutheran Hospital with minor injuries, complaining of generalized pain. The driver of
the van, Jeffrey J. Funkhouse, 52, was also
transported by ambulance.
The Bluffton News Banner reports that
both the driver of the bus and the driver of
the van were up and walking after the crash.
“We are very fortunate that nobody was
hospitalized,” said Dr. Patricia O’Connor,
Whitley County Consolidated Schools superintendent.
O’Connor said Norwell High School was a
major help after Tuesday’s crash.
Norwell sent a bus to the scene to pick up
all of the students and coaches to have them
taken to a Bluffton hospital to be evaluated.
Because of the Bluffton Street Fair, the bus
received a police escort to head the wrong
way down one-way Scott Street to the hospital, the News-Banner reports.
“Norwell’s athletic director, Eric Morgan,
stayed with our team at the hospital to help
our staff, direct parents, etc.,” O’Connor
said. “We are extremely grateful for Norwell’s help.”

Ball Furniture & Mattress hosting
birthday event Thursday, 4-9 p.m.
Local business’ 54th anniversary offers
free food, 54% off furnishings, mattresses
COLUMBIA CITY – Ball
Furniture & Mattress Company, a downtown retail
business anchor for 54
years, is celebrating its anniversary this month with
a special event Thursday
evening from 4-9 p.m. The
special event will feature
hors d’oeuvres and birthday
cake – plus 54 percent off
home furnishings and mattress sets in its fully stocked,
12,000-square-foot
showroom.
During five decades, Ball
Furniture & Mattress Company has established firm
relationships with the top
brand names in the furniture
industry, providing the best
in selection, price and service to thousands of satisfied
customers.
With that experience and
expertise comes knowledge
and superb customer service
and advice from the staff at
Ball Furniture & Mattress
Company. Ball Furniture
carries some of the most dependable brands of home
furnishings in the industry,
including La-Z-Boy, Lane,
Beautryrest and England.
A new, large selection of

cent months, along with an
interior designer / consultant joining the knowledgeable Ball Furniture team.
Deeply rooted
in Columbia City
Ball Furniture & Mattress
Company has been deeply
rooted in downtown Columbia City for half a century.
The late Omer Ball and his
son, David, opened the business in 1961 at 110 S. Line
St. in what would later become Rustic Relic Antiques,
a building that no longer
stands. Two years later, in
1963, the business moved to
124 N. Main St. in the current Hosler’s TV location.
In 1965, Ball Furniture
re-opened at its former 110
S. Line St. locale and main-
tained two business locations until 1966.
In 1966, the business
moved to the corner of Line
and West Van Buren streets
in the former Raupher Hardware Building, expanding in
1975 by adding a showroom
in the adjacent Blumenthal
Building. In 1980, Ball Furniture expanded once again
by opening a second-floor
showroom.
In 1983, Ball Furniture
moved into the former
Shultz Bros. Department
store building at 212 W.
Van Buren St. and its 12,000
square feet of showroom
space, where it has been a
solid business anchor for
downtown Columbia City
ever since. The business underwent a significant remodeling project during 2013.

fire and police protection, the
city will receive more taxes
because of the plans for the
site.
The area would also be
hooked up to all city utilities,
excluding electric, which is in
REMC’s territory.
Currently, the property
pays $1.308 per $100 in property taxes. When the annexation is finalized, the tax rate
will be $2.641 per $100.
“We can expect that the
value of this property will increase dramatically after the
housing project is completed,” Walker told the council.
“I think it is going to be a
great project for our community.”
Construction-Management
& Design (CMD), of Plymouth, approached the Columbia City Plan Commission
about the project last week.
Cory Collins, vice president of CMD, said if all goes
well, the company hopes to
break ground on the project
before the end of the year.
CMD has completed several similar projects in Plymouth, Warsaw, LaPorte and
Michigan City.

Training will be key
to state’s success in jobs
KPC News Service
Indiana can have an exciting economic future if we educate Hoosiers to succeed.
That’s the message from a meeting last week of two councils trying to build a path to that future.
State Rep. Ben Smaltz, R-Auburn, is the only local member of the Indiana Career Council. It met in Indianapolis for
its first joint session with the Indiana State Workforce Innovation Council.
Smaltz came away motivated by the way the two councils
are combining to meet Indiana’s challenges.
In the next 10 years, Smaltz says, 1 million jobs will become available in the Hoosier state. More than half will open
due the exit of Baby Boomers from the work force.
“We need every able-bodied worker to be able to fill those
jobs so they don’t leave,” Smaltz said.
But our present education system will have to take a fresh
approach to prepare Hoosiers to fill those jobs.
We especially need people who are certified in trades and
technical skills, because Indiana remains the nation’s leader
in manufacturing and wants to hold that status.
Skills that will be in high demand include industrial robotics and welding, Smaltz said.
“We’re trying to figure how to get kids to enter the workforce with industry-recognized certificates,” Smaltz said.
That may require a rethinking of high school, offering new
diploma types for students who are headed toward career
and technical training.
Smaltz is enthused by a new trend toward high schools
that continue through grades 13 and 14. Students staying an
extra year or two would spend their time outside the school
building in work-sharing experiences and apprenticeships.
“It requires the business community — the private community — to buy into it,” Smaltz said. They would do so
by providing opportunities for “work and learn” programs.
“Private industry has a huge part to play, They’re starting
to catch on more and more that having kids come in as apprentices is the best way to have valued workers quickly,”
Smaltz said.
Indiana is not focusing totally on high schools, however.
Another goal calls for people who started post-high-school
education, but dropped out, to come back and finish their
degrees.
Smaltz said the message to those adults is that college has
changed since they attended, and they’ve changed, too, so
it’s time to give it another try.
Indiana also needs to help students complete their degrees on time. He said only 5 percent of students who start
two-year degree programs actually finish in two years.
It’s good news that Indiana leaders seem to be working
well together. One goal of the two groups that met Thursday
is to get all parts the education and economic systems pulling in the same direction, instead of going solo. Smaltz said
Indiana may be accomplishing that better than any other
state.
At Thursday’s meeting, Smaltz, a Republican, sat alongside Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz, often
Indiana’s most demonized Democrat. He said they got along
just fine.
“We had a great talk after the meeting” for 15 minutes
about education, Smaltz reported. It’s refreshing to hear that
an encounter between Ritz and a Republican can focus on
progress instead of politics.
Indiana will need everyone cooperating to stay ahead in
the game, setting up both young people and veteran workers for success.

R.A.R.E. program a success
Daviess County inmates getting better; their families are too
R.A.R.E., an acronym for Resisting
Addictions with Recovery and Education, was a vision of Daviess County
Sheriff Jerry Harbstreit – a dream you
might call it.
“I had a program in mind. I didn’t
exactly know what it was yet, because
it wasn’t developed yet,” said Harbstreit. “I wanted the building designed
around that type of an issue, so we
didn’t get stuck and not have room for
any kind of education for the inmates.”
Daviess County inmates actually
named the program themselves.
It takes about nine months to complete the R.A.R.E. program, and to do
so, participants must graduate from
phase one to two, then onto phase
three. The first step is to request inclusion into the program.
Phase I starts with a self-guided
study that lasts two or three months.
Carol Luchteseld, director of R.A.R.E.,
said participants discuss past drug use,
develop an understanding of who they
are, how they communicate, their denial, stages of addiction, and how it affects children.
Phase II is a “commitment to
change,” or also known as the “treatment phase.” It can last three to five
months and involves identifying key
problem areas, such as relationship
conflicts, anger, depression, anxiety, or
peer pressure, and methods for correcting each problem.
Phase III involves relapse prevention
where offenders focus on re-entry into
society. Inmates learn how to deal with
triggers, friends, family, and old relationships to keep from slipping back
into their unscrupulous habits. They
also learn job skills, such as resume
writing and interviewing.
Years before the new Security Center,
the jail had 36 beds. At one time, DCSD
had 119 inmates.
“We had inmates out in other jails.
We capped ourselves at 54, but having
54 inmates with 36 beds was still overcrowding. We didn’t have room for
anything. We even took our conference
room and had our filing cabinets in that
same room. We couldn’t even teach inmates anything. We had no place for
it,” Harbstreit recalled.
The new jail was erected in 2002 and
a committee of nine had began to help
with the design phase of the building.
“After it was developed, something
else happened. We got hit with the
meth wave during that time,” Harbsteit said. “We always did our homework.
We sent all the information every time

By Jenna Schaffer
we busted a meth lab and we sent the
results to the federal government. One
year in particular, we had 136 meth
labs. The federal government was giving grants away between $2 to $3 million dollars in Indiana.”
Since Daviess County had sent all of
its pertinent information in, it was chosen to be one of the counties to receive
grant money.
Harbsteit said, “We ended up receiving a $450,000 grant from the federal
government just because of the meth
problems in the area.”
Cindy Barber, Harbstreit and a few
others traveled to different jails to experience their programs and develop a
solid base for their own vision.
“We knew what we wanted, but we
didn’t know how to do it just yet,” said
Harbstreit.
They visited prison after prison until they came to the jail in Carlisle, Indiana. Carlisle had a similar program
called CLIFF. Luchteseld happened to
be the hostess for the day, describing
that program when she was still employed in Carlisle.
“Cindy and I whispered under our
breath ‘I wish we could steal Carol and
make it work’.”
Eventually, Daviess County would
need its own coordinator, but the grant
money was running out quickly. Harbstreit approached the county council to
find the funding for someone to help
coordinate the program.
Harbstreit said of the three people
who applied for the job, the third person who walked in was Luchteseld.
Luchteseld has now been with the
R.A.R.E. program in Daviess County
since 2011.
“It started with the design of the jail.
You just have those gut feelings and
this is the way you should go,” Harbstreit said. “One day, I came back to
Carol and asked if she wanted to add
a faith-based phase to the program. At
the time, everyone was just busy and it
was extremely hard to get volunteers to
come in. I told Carol one day, ‘What if
I just come in and work with them on
the faith-based part?’ I thought that if
it didn’t work and they fire me, I’ll just
go back to being the sheriff again.”
A program began on Tuesday nights
and the inmates would pick the subject they wanted to explore. The late
Ed Sellers was a tremendous help with
counseling the inmates and helping
teach faith, along with Harbstreit.
“We would discuss scriptures with
them and talk about faith. One of the
first episodes we did just skyrocketed.
To me, it was so powerful that if someone was driving by they would see fire
coming out of the windows,” Harbstreit said.
Harbstreit also commented that this
was something these prisoners had
never experienced before, they were all
learning together.
Family Nights
“We thought it was doing so well
that we needed to figure out a way to
connect these inmates with their families,” Harbstreit said. “We would see
a few that would get better in jail, but
once they got home, it very quickly spiraled downhill.
Some, after their release, would go
home to a family that didn’t want them
to get better. “Almost like a jealousy
thing,” the sheriff explained.
Thursday nights then became family
night. Inmates were brought into the
training center very slowly at first. The
room sits 55 comfortably, but shocked
again, over 100 people showed up the
first night.
Not only were the inmates getting
better, but dysfunctional families were
getting better too. By the end of phase
three, families that wouldn’t even talk
to each other before were praying, worshipping and studying together.
“Programs need to be done like this.
I do it because of my conviction, but
mostly I am doing it for everyone else
too, because we all live in the same
community. These people are your
neighbors. We want them to become
productive citizens and that’s why we
do what we do. There is no standard
that we have to do the first thing about
rehabilitation in these jails, but I believe we aren’t only making this inmate
better, we are making the community
better.
“We aren’t getting people back (in
jail) anymore. We have very few come
back, but you will always have that. We
can’t save the world, but we are giving
everyone the best shot we know how to
give them,” said Harbstreit.

Today in History
Today is Wednesday, September 23,
the 266th day of 2015. There are 99 days
left in the year. Autumn arrives at 4:21
a.m. Eastern time.
Today’s Highlight
in History:
On September 23, 1952, in what became known as the “Checkers” speech,
Sen. Richard M. Nixon, R-Calif., salvaged his vice-presidential nomination
by appearing live on television to refute allegations of improper campaign
fundraising.
On this date:
In 1779, during the Revolutionary
Rhymes with Orange
War, the American warship Bon Homme Richard, commanded by John Paul
Jones, defeated the HMS Serapis in battle off Yorkshire, England; however, the
seriously damaged Bon Homme Richard sank two days later.
In 1780, British spy John Andre was
captured along with papers revealing
Benedict Arnold’s plot to surrender
West Point to the British.
In 1806, the Lewis and Clark expedition returned to St. Louis more than
two years after setting out for the Pacific Northwest.
In 1846, Neptune was identified as a
planet by German astronomer Johann
Gottfried Galle.
In 1908, an apparent baserunning error by Fred Merkle of the New York Giants cost his team a victory against the
Chicago Cubs and left the game tied
1-1. The Cubs won a rematch and with
it, the National League pennant.
In 1939, Sigmund Freud, the founder
of psychoanalysis, died in London at
age 83.
In 1962, New York’s Philharmonic
Hall (later renamed Avery Fisher Hall)
formally opened as the first unit of the
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

MICHIGAN
CITY,
Ind. (AP) — The Indiana Supreme Court has
taken up a case in which
police officers found an
alleged murder weapon
after eavesdropping on a
conversation between an
attorney and a man accused of fatally shooting
his girlfriend.
Indiana’s high court
will consider whether a
LaPorte County judge
who excluded the gun
as evidence exceeded
her authority by barring
all trial testimony from
the officers after they invoked their Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination in the
eavesdropping case.
Based on what they
had overheard, Michigan City police found the
gun Brian Taylor is accused of using to kill his
girlfriend, 24-year-old
Simone Bush, in March
2014.
After Taylor’s arrest,
he and his attorney discussed “all aspects of
both the case and his defense” and met in what
they were told was a private room at the Michigan City police department, according to court
records.
But several police officers and LaPorte County
Chief Deputy Prosecutor
Robert Neary were able
to hear parts of that conversation from a nearby
room.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Central Indiana residents are
going to have to press an additional three numbers to
make telephone calls a year from now.
The Indiana Office of Consumer Counselor says the Utility Regulatory Commission has approved a 463 area code
would overlay the existing 317 area code in the Indianapolis area. The 463 area code spells “IND” on a telephone
keypad.
Starting on Sept. 17, 2016, all local calls made within the
317 area will have to be placed using all 10 digits. A sixmonth grace period will start on March 19. During that
period, local calls can be made with either 7 or 10 digits.
Beginning Oct. 17, 2016, new telephone lines or services
may be assigned numbers using the new 463 area code.
Authorities to hold statewide
pharmaceutical drop-off effort
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Authorities want Hoosiers
with unused, unwanted or expired pharmaceuticals to dispose of them through a drug take-back program.
Drugs can be dropped off Saturday at dozens of statewide locations, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., as a part of the
National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
The Centers for Disease Control says drug overdoses
surpass car accidents as a major cause of death in Indiana. State Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a Tuesday
news release that more than half of those overdose deaths
are caused by prescription drugs or heroin.
The program will be operated by the Drug Enforcement
Agency, the Indiana State Police and the Indiana Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force.
For more information and drug drop-off locations visit

Dear Annie: My son

I recently discovered that
they have not sent out
thank-you cards to any
of the guests, many of
whom traveled a great

wedding.

to make amends? —
Conundrum in Canada
Dear Canada: While
thank-you notes should
be written as soon as possible, it is never too late
to make amends. Your
son and his wife should
write each one by starting out, “We apologize
for the tardiness of this
note, but we wanted to let
you know how much we
appreciated your wedding gift.” And then they
should write something
specific about each present they received. Rest
assured, the recipients of
these notes will be glad to
get them, no matter how
late.
Many parents decide
to take on this responsibility
themselves,
because their children are
not only delinquent, but
also unlikely to send any
thank-you notes at all.
While it is not the parents’
job to do this, we understand those who are mortified that their family
and friends have not had
their gifts acknowledged
and wish to take on the
burden themselves. That
is entirely up to you.

Dear
Heloise:
I
cooked a turkey that
had “BRUISES” on
parts. It looked like
blood in the tissue. I had
to trim and throw away
quite a bit of good food.
What is the reason for
this? I’ve noticed it on
chicken, also. — Donna Ask
A., Colorado Springs,
Heloise
Colo.
It’s just a bruise, which can happen
under normal handling. Unless there
is a tear or cut, etc., where the bruise
is, you don’t need to worry.
You can cut out that part, if you
want to, or just be sure the poultry is
cooked thoroughly.
Just as when we bruise, it’s a broken
blood vessel UNDER the skin, and
yes, what you see is dried blood. —
Heloise
SANDWICH HINT
Dear Heloise: A writer contributed
the hint to use hamburger buns for
tomato sandwiches in order to avoid
soggy bread. My hint is to sandwich
the tomato between two layers of lettuce and do not salt the tomato. Tightly
wrap the sandwich in wax paper, and
it will stay nice and dry. — Carole W .,
via email
Carole, I’m with you on this! Why
do they put all of the “soggy” stuff
right next to the bun on a hamburger?
And why the bottom? — Heloise
SOUR-CREAM SUBSTITUTE
Dear Heloise: I’ve got a recipe I
would like to try, but it calls for an
ingredient that we never use: reducedfat or light sour cream. The recipe
calls for mixing the sour cream with
mushroom soup. I hope you’ve got a
substitute for the sour cream. — Fran
M., via email
Try using plain, low-fat yogurt or 6
ounces of cottage cheese mixed well
with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in
a food processor or blender. If it is
just the “reduced-fat” part that you
don’t care for, use regular sour cream.
Learning to substitute is a part of cooking. That’s why I wrote my pamphlet
Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes,
filled with recipes and substitution hints. To order one, go to www.
Heloise.com, or send $3 and a long,
self-addressed, stamped (70 cents)
envelope to: Heloise/SSS, P.O. Box
795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.
Even avocados (guacamole) or salsa
can be substituted for sour cream,
depending on the recipe. — Heloise
HERB SALT
Dear Heloise: I have an energetic
basil plant that produces more than I
can use (fresh). I fill a large jar to threequarters with coarse sea salt, then snip
extra leaves into the salt and reseal it.
I end up with excellent herbed salt,
which I use for cooking and the table.
A bonus: I use multibladed herb
shears, which get clogged with bits.
I dip them into the jar of salt, snip a
few times, and they are clean. A quick
rinse and dry, and I’m ready for the
next batch. — A Reader, via email
SLICED MUSHROOMS
Dear Heloise: Needing to slice
mushrooms quickly the other night,
I grabbed the egg slicer. I was able to
slice all of the mushrooms in no time.

Fever beat Sky 100-89; advance
to Eastern Conference finals
CHICAGO (AP) — Tamika Catchings and the Indiana Fever are back in
a familiar place, the Eastern Conference finals.
Catchings scored 27 points and Shenise Johnson added 22 to help the Fever beat the Chicago Sky 100-89 in the
decisive game of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night.
It's the fifth straight year that Indiana has advanced this far, matching
the league record set by Los Angeles
from 1999-03. This might be the most
unexpected one of the streak, especially after dropping Game 1 to Chicago.
"We just talked about having fun,"
Catchings said. "Nobody expects us
a great game," Catchings said. "You
can't hold somebody like that with
all the weapons she has. We've been
blessed the last couple games she
hasn't really produced like she did
tonight. We did a good job of, if she's
going on off, making sure no one else
does."
Allie Quigley added 18 points and
Jessica Breland had 10 for the Sky,
who lost to Phoenix in the championship finals last season.
"We're pretty shocked," Delle Donne said. "The last game, Indiana got
a lot of momentum and they just carried it through into this game. I expect
them to carry it through the rest of the
playoffs."

Kelly rejects No. 6 Irish role as heavy favorite vs. UMass
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame
coach Brian Kelly doesn't want to hear about
injury concerns or playing time for his sixthranked Fighting Irish against Massachusetts on
Saturday.
"These are the games that concern me the
most, where everyone else thinks they're going
to be easy games," Kelly said. "I know what we
need to do. We've got to play well against them.
So it's not a breather for me."
It looks like it should be for the Fighting Irish,
at least on paper.
Notre Dame (3-0) has college football's best
winning percentage at .732 with 885 victories in

State and Cincinnati," he said.
While all that is true, the biggest challenge for
the Irish this week is avoiding complacency after wins over Texas, Virginia and No. 20 Georgia
Tech and a big game looming at No. 11 Clemson
(3-0) next week.
"You rely on your leaders to make certain that
they hold everybody accountable to the way
they prepare and, ultimately, the way they play.
So if we really have the kind of locker room and
chemistry that I think we have, then we should
play very well," Kelly said. "If we play very well,
we're capable of beating anybody in the country.
If we don't, then we can lose to anybody."
Purdue tabs
new starting
QB to replace
Appleby
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.
(AP) — Purdue has benched
junior quarterback Austin
Appleby in favor of redshirt
freshman David Blough.
It is the third time in Darrell Hazell's three seasons at
Purdue that the Boilermakers
have changed starting quarterbacks in September or October.
Appleby started the first
three games of the season
along with the final seven
games in 2014. He had an awful performance in Saturdays'
51-24 loss to Virginia Tech,
completing only 9 of 28 passes
for 110 yards and two interceptions, along with a fumble
that was returned for a touchdown. In two losses, Appleby
has been intercepted a total of
six times.
Blough will be making his
first start Saturday when Purdue (1-2) hosts Bowling Green
(1-2). Blough completed 3 of
7 passes for 11 yards in the
fourth quarter against Virginia
Tech and is 3 of 8 for the season.
"You deliberate over it for
a couple of days and make
sure you think everything
through," Hazell said Tuesday.

Yankees Hall of Famer Yogi Berra dies at 90
NEW YORK (AP) — The lovable
legend of Yogi Berra, that ain’t
ever gonna be over.
The Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying
malapropisms as his unmatched
10 World Series championships
with the New York Yankees, died
Tuesday. He was 90.
Berra, who filled baseball’s record book as well as “Bartlett’s
Familiar Quotations,” died of
natural causes at his home in New
Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan,
the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.
Berra played in more World
Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time
American League Most Valuable
Player.
For many, though, he was even
better known for all those amusing “Yogi-isms.”
“It ain’t over ‘til it’s over” is
among eight of them included in
Bartlett’s.
“When I’m sittin’ down to dinner with the family, stuff just pops
out. And they’ll say, ‘Dad, you
just said another one.’ And I don’t
even know what the heck I said,”
Berra insisted.
Short, squat and with a homely
mug, Berra was a Yankees great
who helped the team reach 14
World Series during his 18 seasons
in the Bronx.
“While we mourn the loss of
our father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, we know he is at
peace with Mom,” Berra’s family
said in a statement released by
the museum. “We celebrate his
remarkable life, and are thankful
he meant so much to so many. He
will truly be missed.”
Berra served on a gunboat supporting the D-Day invasion in
1944 and played for the Yankees
from 1946-63. His teammates in-
cluded fellow Hall of Famers Joe
DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and
Whitey Ford.
“No! Say it ain’t so. He was a
good man, my former manager
and friend! RIP Yogi,” former Yankees star Dave Winfield tweeted.
Lawrence Peter Berra, the son
of Italian immigrants, got his
nickname while growing up in St.
Louis. Among his amateur baseball teammates was Jack McGuire,
another future big leaguer.
“Some of us went to a movie
with a yogi in it and afterwards
Jack began calling me Yogi. It
stuck,” Berra told the Saturday
Evening Post.
He was a fan favorite, especially with children, and the cartoon
character Yogi Bear was named
after him.
Until recent years, he remained
a fixture at Yankee Stadium and in
the clubhouse, where the likes of
Derek Jeter, Joe Torre and others
in pinstripes looked up to the diminutive old-timer.
In 1956, Berra caught the only
perfect game in World Series history and after the last out leaped
into pitcher Don Larsen’s arms.
The famous moment is still often
replayed on baseball broadcasts.
Col. City’s Brachen Hazen Arrieta wins 20th game;
commits to Central Florida Cubs beat Brewers 4-0
By MARK PARKER
The Post & Mail
COLUMBIA CITY —
Brachen Hazen, Columbia
City’s standout senior basketball player, will continue
his career at the University
of Central Florida.
Hazen, a 6-foot, 8-inch senior forward for the Eagles
chose the Knights over several other colleges, including: Ball State, Richmond,
Valparaiso, Creighton and
the Big Ten’s Maryland.
Hazen is projected as a
college small forward and
is ranked as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com.
Hazen helped lead the
Eagles to a 19-8 record and
a sectional crown last year.

CHICAGO (AP) — Jake Arrieta said he
didn't feel sharp and that he was a little bit
off Tuesday night.
The NL Cy Young Award candidate still
tossed a three-hitter.
Arrieta became the first pitcher in the
major leagues to reach 20 victories, Kris
Bryant set the Cubs rookie record for home
runs and Chicago inched closer to a playoff
berth with a 4-0 win over the Milwaukee
Brewers.
Looking loose after manager Joe Maddon entertained the team with a petting
zoo in the outfield at Wrigley Field before
the game, Arrieta (20-6) struck out 11 for
Chicago, whose magic number for making
its first postseason in seven years dropped
to three.
The right-hander retired 14 in a row
in one stretch in becoming the first Cubs
pitcher to win 20 games since Jon Lieber in
2001.
"I've alluded to it before but it just means
that I'm putting my team in positions to
win ballgames," Arrieta said. "At the end of
the day that's our goal, is to try and pile on
as many as we can especially with where
we're at in the season."
Bryant, whose April 17 debut was one
of the most anticipated in years, hit a tworun homer in the third off Tyler Cravy (0-8)
to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. It was Bryant's
26th longball, besting Billy Williams' mark
in 1961. Bryant added a run-scoring double in the eighth.
He also relished a curtain-call after his
third-inning drive.
"That was a special moment for me to
get up on the steps and get that recognition," Bryant said. "It was something I'll
never forget."
Kyle Schwarber was credited with an
RBI double in the fifth when shortstop
Jean Segura couldn't catch his high popup
to short right field, allowing Dexter Fowler
to score.
But Tuesday belonged to Arrieta, who
added another accomplishment to a fine
season that included a no-hitter Aug. 30 at
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Jake is good," Maddon deadpanned as
he began his postgame news conference.
"That was outstanding once again."
By beating Milwaukee, Arrieta became
the first Chicago pitcher since Hall of
Famer Fergie Jenkins in 1971 to win at least
20 games and strike out at least 200 in a
season. He also lowered his ERA to 1.88,
giving him a chance to become the Cubs'
first qualifying starter with a sub-2.00 ERA
since Grover Cleveland Alexander had a
1.91 mark in 1920.

DECATUR — Columbia City’s boys tennis
team fell to Northeast 8 Conference foe Bellmont 5-0 on the Braves home courts Tuesday

HAMILTON — Churubusco’s varsity
volleyball team traveled to Hamilton for
a Northeast Corner Conference match.
’Busco’s Lady Eagles defeated the
Lady Marines in three games.
In game one, the Lady Eagles started
out slowly, with the lead going back and
forth with Hamilton. Churubusco put
the game away with back-to-back kills
to take game one, 25-23.
The second game had the Lady Eagles
trailing most of the game. Churubusco
turned things up towards the end of the
game, capitalizing on Hamilton’s errors
to claim game two, 25-20.
In the third game, the Lady Eagles
took control right from the start and
were never challenged, taking the match
with a 25-11 win.
Leading the Eagles for the match was
Mallory Pearson with 12 kills. Rachel
Jacquay racked up 22 assists and three
aces. Alyssa Anderson had a solo block,
and Jazlyn Needler with collected 10
digs.
Churubusco hosts Canterbury Thursday at 7:15 p.m.
Mistake-prone, 0-2 Colts searching for answers
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck delivered his statement with a disgusted glare.
Chuck Pagano resorted to a
terse tone and sharp words.
Either way, both made their
point clearly: It is past time for
the Colts to correct the mistakes
that are threatening to turn
their season into an early bust.
"You can't turn the ball over.
You've got to protect. You've
got to give him time, you've got
to give him a clean pocket so
he can step up and not get hit
when he's releasing the ball and
we've got to get it fixed," Pagano said after Monday's 20-7 loss
to the Jets. "You can't drive the
length of the field, a 10-minute
drive, and get to the 1-yard line
and put the ball on the ground.
You can't do it. You're not going
to beat Zionsville (High School)
doing that."
Pagano's not-so-subtle references were to Luck, Indy's
poor pass protection and Frank
Gore, who gave away a scoring chance by fumbling into the
Jets' end zone.
Less than 24 hours later, Pagano tried to dispel the notion
his postgame comments were
directed primarily at his franchise quarterback.
"I was saying 'Hey guys,
we've got one helluva quarterback and we've got a great player and a great leader there,'" Pagano said Tuesday. "It was 'Hey,
we're lucky we've got Andrew.'"
Most of Indy's troubles, so
far, have been self-inflicted and
the result of a bad Luck.
He has already thrown five
interceptions and his six giveaways this season have run his
league-leading total to 28 turnovers over the past 18 games.
That's not a new phenomenon.
Luck came into this season
with the league's fourth-highest
turnover total since 2012 — perhaps because he was hit more
than any other NFL quarterback in the league, too, according to STATS.
Indy (0-2) also drew 11 penalties Monday, many of which
brought back big plays and
stalled drives. Dropped passes,
tipped balls, the lack of a consis-
tent ground game and playing
two of the NFL's better defenses
have hurt, too.
It's a confounding twist for
a team that expected to be one
of the NFL's highest-scoring
offenses. The Colts now have
more turnovers (eight) than
touchdowns (three) and head
into Week 3 trailing Tennessee
(1-1) and Jacksonville (1-1) in
the AFC South. The Colts play
at Tennessee on Sunday.
"It's tough when we put ourselves in third-and-longs. That's
when it's tough," Luck said. "If
we can stay ahead of the chains
on first and second down and
get
third-and-manageables,
then we've got a chance. Thirdand-long makes it hard."
