Four-day work
week for county
highway workers
By MIKE LAMM
The Adams County Highway Department
will be utilizing a four-day work week
between May 23 and approximately Aug.
22 this year.
Highway Department Superintendent
Lonnie Caffee received permission from the
Adams County Commissioners last week
to implement the altered work schedule
again during the summer months, as has
been done in the past. Caffee said staff
will go to a 10-hour day, with the department and its Monroe office to be closed on
Fridays during the period.
Caffee noted the move has “monetary
and logistical advantages,” providing
approximately $7,800 in savings in labor
expenses. Commissioner Kim Fruechte
suggested a message be recorded on
the office’s answering machine notifying
potential customers of the Friday office
closures.
Caffee also asked for and received permission to allow office staff members Patty
Kriegel and Becky Cochran to leave the
office between 8:30 and 11:30 a.m. on
May 10 to attend the wheel tax discussion
that will be part of the monthly meeting of
the Adams County Council that morning.
While the office will not officially close, no
buggy plates or other permits will be issued
during that timeframe, Caffee stressed.
He informed commissioners he had
recently received a letter from a Wells
County farmer requesting the temporary
closure of C.R. 650W north of C.R.1100S to
allow for the pumping of manure through
hoses laid across the roadway. “I have an
issue with that,” Caffee said, adding he
recommended commissioners deny the
request.
Commission Chairman Doug Bauman
indicated he had received a telephone call
from the same gentleman with an identical
request. “He tried to close the road on his
own, and that didn’t work. Our sheriff’s
deputies took care of that,” he commented.
Fruechte said the county had installed a
six-inch pipe under the roadway specifically to accommodate a previous request from
the landowner for a way to move manure
from one side of the road to the other.
However, the farmer has since upgraded

Trump confident of Hoosier win Tuesday
LA PORTE, Ind. (AP) —
Back in the part of the
country where he last lost
to Ted Cruz, Republican
presidential front-runner
Donald Trump is confidently pushing for a win
Tuesday in Indiana that he
argues ought to knock the
Texas senator out of the
race.
Buoyed by a sweep of
last week’s primary elections along the East Coast,
the billionaire businessman
appears to have learned a
few lessons from his defeat
last month to the Texas senator in nearby Wisconsin.
There have been no slipups on talk radio in recent
days, nor stumbles over
issues that matter deeply to
Republican voters. Trump
arrived in Indianapolis to
start campaigning the day
after winning his homestate New York primary weeks ago and began
spending money on television advertising far sooner
than he did in Wisconsin.
Addressing a cheering
crowd at a Sunday rally
in Terre Haute, the first of
four events in Indiana over
the final two days before
Tuesday’s election, Trump
bragged: ‘‘If we win here,
it’s over, OK?’’
Not quite, as the New York
real estate mogul can’t win
enough delegates Tuesday
to clinch the Republican
nomination. But after his
wins in five states last
week, Trump no longer
needs to win a majority of
the remaining delegates at
stake in the remaining primaries to lock up the GOP
nomination.
Cruz has no such cushion. Already eliminated
from reaching 1,237 delegates needed to win the
nomination outright, he
desperately needs a victory
in Indiana to keep Trump
from that number and press
ahead with his strategy of
claiming the nomination at
a contested convention in
Cleveland this summer.
‘‘This whole long, wild
ride of an election has all
culminated with the entire
country with its eyes fixed
on the state of Indiana,’’
Cruz said Sunday at a late
night rally. ‘‘The people of
this great state, I believe
the country is depending
on you to pull us back from
the brink.’’
The
importance
of
PLUG INTO US AT...
Indiana for Cruz became
evident even before he
and fellow underdog John
Kasich formed an alliance
of sorts, with the Ohio governor agreeing to pull his
advertising money from
Indiana in exchange for
Cruz doing the same in
Oregon and New Mexico.
But that strategy, which
appeared to unravel even as
it was announced, can’t help
either man with the tens of
thousands of Indiana voters
who had already cast ballots: early voting began in
Indiana three weeks before
they hatched their plan.
It also risks alienating those who have yet to
vote, said veteran Indiana
Republican
pollster
Christine Matthews. She
said that she believes many
have continued to vote for
Kasich in Indianapolis and
in the wealthy suburbs
north of the city.
‘‘Indiana voters don’t like
the idea of a political pact,
or being told how to vote,’’
Matthews said. ‘‘They don’t
want to be part of that kind
of a strategy.’’
It’s those voters that
Cruz needs, argued Pete

South Adams Machine Trades students excel
A pair of students in
the South Adams Area
18 Machine Trades program have qualified the
the national Skills USA
competition, in Louisville
June 20-24, after finishing first in their respective categories of expertise at the State Skills
USA competition, held in
Indianapolis April 15-16.
Noah Lehmann, a
South Adams junior,
captured first place in
the Computer Numerical
Controlled Technician
category and Michael
McKinley, a Jay County
junior in the CNC
Turning Specialist category. In addition to qualifying for nationals, both
young men each received
$7,500 Lincoln Technical
scholarships for their
first-place efforts.
In addition to the
two first place finishes, South Adams’ Tyler
Sprunger (senior) and
Jay County’s Brennan
Renhart (junior) took
second and third place
in the CNC Technician
competition and South
Adams’ Mason Sell captured third place in the
CNC Turning Specialist
category.
Sprunger
received a $5,000 Lincoln
Tech scholarship for his
second place finish, with
Renhart and Sell awarded $2,500 scholarships
to the same institution.

was advising Kasich. He
questioned why Cruz was
focusing so much effort
in blue-collar northern
Indiana, where Trump
is popular, instead of
the voter-rich suburban
counties that ring the
state capital.
In Indiana, Trump
heads into Tuesday with
all of his usual confidence. He aggressively
attacked Cruz on Sunday,
suggesting evangelical
conservatives have ‘‘fallen
out of love with him.’’
‘‘They’re like hanging
by their fingertips,’’ he
said, mimicking Cruz and
Kasich: ‘‘Don’t let me fall!
Albion volunteer
fire bell restored
ALBION, Ind. (AP) —
A 130-year-old bell used
to summon volunteer
firefighters in northeastern Indiana has been
restored.
The Albion Volunteer
Fire Department bell was
purchased for $400 in
1886 with money raised
at a strawberry and ice
cream event by the community. It was placed on
the fire station to alert
volunteer firefighters.

grooving and threading. The CNC Milling
Specialist contestants
programmed a rectangular part with contours
and holes. The CNC
Technician contestants
were tasked with programming both parts
along with everything
else involved with the
specialist contests.
Students were chal-
lenged with precision
measurements and given
a blueprint for a part.
Using geometry, trigonometry and technical
shop math, participants
were asked to calculate
all the missing points
of the part. Contestants
were given two hours
to program each part
for a Haas CNC simulator, making sure their
program would run the
simulator as it would in
a real CNC machine.

‘Tiny houses’ are eyed for homeless in Muncie
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) —
A nonprofit organization
wants to build a village
of six tiny houses for the
homeless in Muncie.
Project planners from
Bridges
Community
Services are seeking
permission from a city
zoning for the microvillage, The Star Press
reported (http://tspne.
ws/1Ny6qSO).
Houses would measure 96 square feet each
and have a bed, two windows, a desk and a loft
storage area, as well as
electricity and heating.
The project would also
Mon
have a brick walkway,
a community garden
and a building that has
showers, restrooms and
kitchen facilities.
Bridges director Susie
Kemp said the village
would be a place for people ‘‘to become comfortable until they get used
to more societal living
than they’re used to.’’
She said there are some
people ‘‘who just have a
hard time coming back
into a normal housing
situation.’’
‘‘They have mental
health issues, they just
flat-out don’t like being
Don’t let me fall!’’
Trump even let on that
he’s eager to move on
to a likely general election race against Hillary
Clinton — or, as Trump
continued to call the
Democratic front-runner,
around people — posttraumatic stress disorder
is another one,’’ Kemp
said.
Kemp has been to
Seattle tiny houses, and
micro-villages for the
homeless have gone up
in other places such as
Madison, Wisc., as an
‘‘inexpensive way to help
people get a grip on life
again,’’ she said.
‘‘It’s almost like having a dorm room but
it’s your own house,’’
said Terry Whitt Bailey,
director of Community
Development for the city
of Muncie. ‘‘It’s kind of
‘‘Crooked Hillary.’’
‘‘It would be nice to
have the Republican
Party come together,’’
Trump told supporters in
Fort Wayne. ‘‘With that
being said, I think I’ll win
anyway.’’
a new trend in trying
to give people housing
options.’’
Under local zoning
ordinances, micro-villages aren’t a use that’s
permitted in the residential zone.
‘‘The closest thing
would be a seasonal work
camp for migrants in the
farming zone,’’ local government planner Fred
Daniel said, which is why
a variance is required for
the project.
soon as possible, but the commissioners formally
rejected the temporary road closure request.
Caffee also revisited the subject of the demonstration of a pothole patching machine he and
Commissioner Rex Moore attended in Lynn Grove
recently. Follow-up discussions with other area
county highway departments concluded most have
already acquired at least one of the Total Patcher
machines and all superintendents he has spoken
with are “very, very happy” with the equipment,
Caffee said.
Wells County has “two or three,” and Allen
County has several more, he said. “It’s hard to find
another county in the area that doesn’t have one,”
Caffee added. All those he spoke with at the Purdue
Road School in March “were huge advocates” of the
piece of equipment, he said.
According to Caffee, the local highway department
currently uses winter mix asphalt to fill potholes.
Unfortunately, 40 percent of repairs “pop back out
within weeks,” he said. Winter mix costs $115 per
ton, and the county used 18 ton for pothole repair
last year.
The Total Patcher “allows repair crews to quickly
and efficiently patch over potholes without having
to roll over the pavement,” the company’s website
states. Caffee said the patches created by the equipment during the Lynn Grove demonstration are
holding nicely and are “barely perceptible” today,
creating “a permanent fix to the problem.”
He asked for permission to request County
Council provide additional appropriations to buy
one of the machines yet this year, or appropriate
funds into next year’s budget for the purchase
in 2017. Manufactured in North Pittsboro, the
Total Patcher comes with an approximate $70,000
price tag, Caffee said. Commissioners approved his
request to proceed before council.
Caffee also said dust control on gravel roads in
the county this year will be available again this year.
Residents can have the dust suppressant applied
for $1.40 per linear foot, with a minimum of 100 feet
required. The price “is the same as previous years,”
he said.

PROVIDENCE,

and Barnum & Bailey
Circus bid farewell to
its performing elephants
on Sunday, as the show
closed its own chapter
on a practice that has
entertained audiences in
America for two centuries
but has come under fire
by animal rights activists.
‘‘This is a very emotional time for us,’’
Ringmaster Johnathan
Lee Iverson told the crowd
as the performance came
to an end in Providence,
R.I., on Sunday.
He called the six Asian
elephants beloved members of the circus family
and thanked the animals
for more than 100 years
of service.
‘‘We love our girls.
Thank you so much for
so many years of joy,’’ he
said as the elephants left
the ring for a final time.

By MIKE LAMM
Nine months after breaking
ground for the construction of the
new Adams County jail, the project
remains on schedule and is 65-70
percent complete, Construction
Control Inc. Vice President and
Project Manager Joe Hoffman told
the Adams County Commissioners
last week.
“The bulk of the major structural items are done, with mostly
detail work remaining,” he said.
The contingency fund — which
began with a $500,000 balance
but grew to $612,000 with transfers from other funds and reduced
code review fees — currently contains $493,631. County Attorney
Mark Burry noted, “We just got
into our original half million contingency fund. We’ve done real
well.”
Commissioner Rex Moore calculated the current total cost of
the jail construction to be $15.1
milllion. In an appearance before
commissioners
in
February,
Hoffman estimated the total cost
of the entire jail project (without
additional contingencies) at slightly more than $23.1 million.
Hoffman indicated he does not
foresee any additional contingency
costs prior to the project’s anticipated completion later this year.
All issues surrounding earlier roofing concerns have been addressed
and have not effected the project’s schedule, he added. The roof
has been thermal scanned and
no areas of wet insulation were
recorded, Hoffman said.
The roofing and related sheet
metal work will be completed
in May, he said. In addition, he
told commissioners the skylights
added over the day rooms have
been installed and flashed, as

78 inmates were being housed at
the overcrowded current jail, with
nine of those inmates sleeping on

So, what would a
legtimate Republican
convention look like?
By John Pickerill
By now everyone paying attention to national politics
is going crazy about what is wrong with the Republican
National Convention process. Trump supporters are
ballistic about how the GOP establishment might
swindle their candidate out of the nomination. The
Republican establishment leadership is trying to convince the world that it is the Party that gets to decide
who the Republican nominee will be, not the popular
vote.
Actually, they both have it wrong because no one is
bothering to ask the most important question: What is
the purpose of a political party convention?
I would suggest the purpose of a convention is to
express the will of the party’s general membership, not
merely the will of the party’s leadership but of the entire
membership. A legitimately run convention would provide the opportunity for a majority of its members to
override party leadership. A legitimately run convention
would put the general membership in control to write
the party’s platform and rules, and to select the party’s
nominees for the upcoming general election. The general membership would select delegates to represent
them at the convention. While the convention is in session they are supposed to be the decision-making body
of the party.
The convention process put together by today’s
Republican National Committee has failed this purpose. The general membership has not been allowed
to select their national delegates. In Indiana, not even
the state delegates were allowed to select its national
delegates this year. Only county chairmen and vicechairmen were allowed to vote for national delegates.
The national delegates today do not represent the will
of the Republican general membership from whom they
were sent to represent.
Even if the Indiana state delegates were allowed to
freely select Indiana’s national delegates and even if we
had a truly open state convention where state delegates
could nominate candidates for national delegate from
the floor of the convention, there’s still a problem.
State delegates aren’t really elected by the general
membership of the Republican Party in Indiana. That’s
because there is no enrolled “general membership.”
Any member of the public, even those hostile to the
principles of the Republican Party, are allowed to participate in the Republican primary in May and therefore
influence who is elected as a Republican state delegate.
As a result the election of Republican state delegates
is heavily infiltrated by liberal authoritarians. This
would be unheard of in any other community organization. Members should be enrolled in the Republican
Party just like any other organization. Otherwise, it
violates the basic right of association. Yes, this would
take a change of the state’s primary election law. But
if the Indiana Republican Party made it a priority, the
Republican super-majority in the General Assembly
would follow.
Third, the Republican National Committee and state
committees now routinely change the convention rules
on their own without the legitimate authorization of
the general membership. The will of the Republican
general membership is not reflected in the Party’s
rules. In other words, the Party rules are a result of
top-down dictatorship instead of a bottom-up process
the Republican Party leadership claims to use.
Because the general membership should be allowed
to determine for themselves who the Republican
nominee will be, in a perfect world the national delegates (duly chosen by the general membership of the
Republican Party) should be free to vote for whichever
candidate they think best furthers the principles of
the Republican Party. But for some reason we now
allow an open primary election process in which nonRepublicans are allowed to vote to bind how a national
delegate must vote on the first ballot at the Republican
National Convention.
The Indiana General Assembly (totally and completely dominated by the two major political parties)
has passed state laws granting the Republican Party
and Democratic Party special privileges and immunities. Specifically, these two parties are given complete
control of our election system. This makes it almost
impossible for third parties to compete with them. If
this weren’t the case, you would likely see a mass exodus of people from these two corrupt parties into other
political parties who would actually welcome their participation.
If we had a legitimate convention process, there
would be no problem letting that process determine
who becomes the Republican nominee for President of
the United States or any other office. As it is, the voices
of the Republican general membership will be drowned
out regardless if its presidential nominee is chosen by
this year’s national delegates or this year’s primary
election results. Both Mr. Trump and the Republic
National Committee have it wrong.
This week could be a cliffhanger
By DONNA BRAZILE
The week that was belonged
to Donald Trump and Hillary
Clinton. Now it’s the week to
come that counts.
Clinton and Trump scored primary sweeps in five Northeast
states that have denser and
more diverse populations than
previous primary states. Clinton
trounced Sanders in four states,
with Sanders scoring a decisive
win in Rhode Island. The trend of
Clinton winning urban areas and
Sanders the rural ones continued
to hold.
After Tuesday, the Republican
front-runner is running a bit further out front. While Trump was
projected to win last Tuesday,
he surprised several analysts
by collecting more delegates
than expected. In terms of delegates gained and his percentage of the votes, Trump enjoyed
a five-state romp. He won every
county in Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland. Ohio Gov. John
Kasich won solid margin victories
in counties in Connecticut and
Rhode Island, though losing each
state. Ted Cruz won nada.
Clinton has won 90 percent
of the delegates necessary for
the Democratic nomination,
and Trump has won 79 percent of the delegates required
for the Republican nomination.
Predictably, Clinton and Trump
are spinning their substantial
victories as “It’s all over but the
shouting.”
However, their opponents are
not giving up — with reason. The
next primaries are in states with
less diverse, more uniform populations of whites and youth that
do not favor Clinton and Trump
— namely Indiana, Nebraska,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon
and Washington. But they will get
their share of delegates.
Then, there is the June 7 slambang ending to the primary season with the blockbuster delegate
state of California, plus Montana,
New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Sanders is adamant that voters
DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT
country heard very clearly what
Mr. Trump said.” Indeed, they
did.
Trump has made a second
career of insulting women. A
Huffington Post poll finds Trump
to be the most disliked candidate
among Republican women. He is
in the sub-basement — nearly
half of Republican women can’t
imagine voting for Trump. While
one analyst thinks Cruz’s picking
a veep is a sign of weakness, I
believe it improves Cruz’s chances among Hoosier women voters
unwilling to submit and crown a
misogynistic Trump.
Little has been said about
how Cruz and Trump forge their
campaign strategies. They are in
the forefront among candidates
in choosing media experts who
use scientific findings on human
decision-making.
According to Politico, Cruz
hired a company owned by his
biggest donor that produces “psychographics,” or data pictures of
voters who fall into “six key personality types.” Trump’s primary
success, says Forbes magazine,
can be explained by neuroscience (or neuromarketing), which
targets voter’s subconscious emotions.
For all that, the difference
between New York and Indiana
may not be so much a matter of
21st-century campaign voodoo as
it is the difference between the
more liberal Northeast and the
more conservative Midwest. Cruz
stands to lose far more votes by
referring — in basketball-crazy
Indiana — to a basketball hoop
as a “ring” than he stands to lose
votes to Trump’s market-tested
insults.
Indiana is now a critical state in
the 2016 race for the Republican
nomination. If Cruz wins there,
California will very likely be the
kingmaker. Next week looms
large.

because its executives are contrite? Oh, come on — banksters
don’t do contrite.

in late-voting states deserve a
choice. Clinton and the public
seem to agree, though Trump
does not. He wants it over, and is
calling himself “the presumptive
nominee.”
Potential surprises lurk like
landmines in this highly unusual
nominating contest. While Clinton
and Trump are within a few feet
of their magic numbers mathematically, the history books are
filled with stories of a contender
who overtook a leading candidate
in the final stretch. The Chicago
Tribune recently wrote about the
runaway front-runner William
Seward, who lost in a stunning
upset to Abraham Lincoln at the
1860 Republican convention.
With the late-voting states possibly favoring one of his opponents, Trump can still fall short
of clinching the nomination.
Politico calls the May 3 Indiana
primary “critical.” The respected
Capitol Hill tabloid added, “If
Trump doesn’t carry the state
(he) would require a near-sweep
of California — a tall task with 53
independent congressional district elections.”
I like Nate Silver, the Chicago
data-cruncher of baseball pennant races and elections, who
correctly predicted all 50 states
in 2012, a record matched by,
well, no one. Despite recent polls
that show Trump leading Cruz
in Indiana, Silver forecasts Cruz
has a 53 percent chance of winning the Indiana primary; Trump
garners only 45 percent.
Cruz is taking no chances.
He doubtless looked at Trump’s
abysmal standing with women
before choosing former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina of
California as his running mate
this week past.
It was Fiorina who got in one
of the few telling jabs at Trump
during the Republican debates.
Trump had insulted Fiorina —
“Look at that face! Would anyone
vote for that?” — and attempted
to back out of it. Fiorina won
“thunderous” applause by jabbing
back, “I think women all over this

that will let Goldman escape with
paying out less than a third of
that.
Also, about $2.5 billion of the

deduct almost $1 billion of this

That means you and I will subsidize Goldman’s payment.
As a bank reform advocate told
The New York Times, the problem
with these settlements “is that
they are carefully crafted more
to conceal than to reveal to the
American public what really happened here.”
One more reason Wall Street
bankers privately wink and grin
at these seemingly huge punishments is that even paying the
full $5 billion would be perfectly
manageable. To you and me, it
sounds like a crushing sum — but
Goldman Sachs raked in over $33

Sense & Sensitivity
By HARRIETTE COLE
Husband Goes to Great Lengths to Have Baby
DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband
and I have been together for six years. I
love him with all my heart and would do
almost anything for him. I say “almost”
because his recent request isn’t an
easy one. Normally, if he asks me to do
something, I’m there; I’ll do it without
hesitation. It’s always been that way
in our relationship because we love
and trust each other. I overlooked our
age difference -- he’s 38, and I’m 24
-- because I never thought that it would
come between us.
Lately, he’s been very persistent
about wanting children. He wants to
have a baby so bad. This wouldn’t be a
problem if he wanted one in a few years.
However, he wants a baby right now. I
feel like I’m too young to have a baby.
I just made it out of being a teen only a
couple years ago. I’m not ready to be
anybody’s mother. I don’t know enough
about life to teach somebody else yet.
This baby dream of his has made him
crazy. He’s even gone as far as hiding
my birth control pills and “accidentally”
forgetting to use a condom. I put myself
on the Depo-Provera shot the minute I
noticed he was doing this on purpose. I
don’t want to disappoint him, but there
has to be a way we can compromise on
the timing of this baby. If we’re going to
do this, I want to have a plan. I’m not
going to get pregnant just because he
wants a baby. I’m just not ready. -- Not
Ready, Jackson, Mississippi
DEAR NOT READY: You need to
have a heart-to-heart with your husband
and create a plan that you can agree on
about making a family. The good news
is that since you are young, you probably do have many fertile years ahead.
Men tend to be fertile for many more
years than his current age, too. Talk
through a potential timetable.
Also, make it clear to your husband
that you will feel violated if he impregnates you against your will. Come to an
agreement on timing, and work together
toward that goal.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently went
through a divorce, and I am in the process of moving out of the house. We
have a small child, so I didn’t want to
move too far. However, I have been
having trouble finding work over the
past couple of years, and I got a job
offer in another state. I would hate to
move my child away from his father,
but if my son is going to live with me,
I’ll need to be able to take care of him.
Is it wrong for me to take my son with
me to another state? I don’t see any
other option at this time. -- Gotta Go,
Memphis, Tennessee
DEAR GOTTA GO: Work this out
with your ex, or you may end up in court.
Talk to him about your need for work
and your plan to move away. Discuss
logistics for how you can keep him
in your son’s life as you also provide
for your son and yourself. It would be
wrong of you to just up and leave. Map
everything out with his father.

Kes wins at messy Talladega
By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP)
— Two cars went airborne, 35 were involved
in an accident of some
kind, and Danica Patrick
had the wind knocked
out of her in a vicious
crash into the wall.
Just another demolition derby at Talladega
Superspeedway.
Brad Keselowski won
the crash-fest Sunday
that was dominated by
multiple wrecks that
caused millions of dollars
in damage to race teams.
It was Keselowski’s fourth
career win at Talladega
and second victory of the
season, and ended Joe
Gibbs Racing’s streak of
four consecutive victories.
‘‘Crazy day. Somehow
we managed to stay
ahead of or out of all the
chaos,’’ Keselowski said.
‘‘That’s how Talladega
goes. Sometimes we run
here and everybody kind
of lines up against the
wall, and sometimes we
come here and it’s crazy
side by side, wreck ‘em
up, flip ‘em.
‘‘I think that’s kind
of the allure to coming
here because you don’t
know what you’re going
to get.’’
That’s not entirely
true about Talladega,
which more times than
not turns into a mess of
wrecked race cars.
Keselowski said that’s
just part of restrictorplate racing at the 2.66mile superspeedway.
‘‘Racing has always
been that balance of daredevils and chess players, this has always been
more of a daredevil-type
track,’’ said Keselowski.
Chris Buescher’s car
flipped three times in an
early crash, and Matt
Kenseth was turned
upside down in the waning laps. In Kenseth’s
accident, Patrick hit hard
into an energy-absorbing
wall that that seemed to
buckle upon impact. She
appeared shaken after
the hit and hustled out
of her burning car.
‘‘I have a pretty decent
bruise on my arm and
my foot, and my head
feels like I hit a wall at
200,’’ she said. ‘‘My chest
hurts when I breathe.’’
There were 21- and
12-car accidents in the
final 28 laps. And, as
Keselowski crossed the
finish line, another wreck
in the back of the pack
punctuated the sloppy
day. NASCAR’s box score
showed 35 of the 40 cars
were involved in some
sort of accident.
Only 21 of the 40 cars
finished on the lead lap,
and 12 cars were ruled
out of the race.
Second-place finisher Kyle Busch said he
looked in his rearview
mirror at one point and
only saw four cars without some sort of damage
Analyzing the 2016 NFL draft...
By BARRY WILNER
AP Pro Football Writer
Figuring out who won
or lost in an NFL draft
takes years, not hours.
Finding trends is a whole
lot easier.
Some were obvious,
such as the love given
Ohio State, and the disdain for 2015 bowl teams
Tennessee, Duke and
North Carolina.
The desire to find quarterbacks lasted from the
first two picks through
No. 223. The search for
running backs was virtually an afterthought for
three rounds, with only
four going in the first
100.
A look at what NFL
teams were thinking and
doing in the 253-pick
marathon.
———
B A G G I N G
BUCKEYES: More than
one observer has been
asking how Ohio State
didn’t win the 2015
Big Ten title, let alone
another national championship, after having 12
players selected.
The Chargers, Saints
and Bills were most
enamored
of
coach
Urban Meyer’s team with
two selections each. The
Giants, Jets, Cowboys,
Lions,
Texans
and
Seahawks each took one.
Five Buckeyes went in
the opening round.
Saints coach Sean
Payton is friends with
Meyer, which certainly didn’t hurt as New
Orleans considered and
then took safety Vonn
Bell and receiver Michael
Thomas in the second
round.
‘‘He and I have been
friends for a long time,’’
Payton said. ‘‘I think it
matters some.’’
Meyer, who worked
portions of the draft for
NFL Network, was beaming every time one of his
players was chosen. And
the first of those guys,
defensive end Joey Bosa,
paid tribute to the coach
for paving the way to the
NFL.
‘‘The day you walk
in on campus at Ohio
State he expects you to
have that goal to one
day play at the next level
and play in the NFL,’’
said Bosa, who went to
San Diego with the third
overall pick. ‘‘That’s what
he strives to help you do.
Him and everybody on
that staff, he brings in
only the best who want
to see you succeed and
who really care about
you and care about your
success.’’

Kershaw does it all for Dodgers; Sale hurls win for the Sox
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Clayton Kershaw pitched a
three-hitter, struck out 14
and also singled home the
game’s only run, leading
the Los Angeles Dodgers
over the San Diego Padres
1-0 on Sunday.
Kershaw (3-1) ended
the Dodgers’ six-game losing streak by pitching his
13th shutout and 22nd
complete game in 248
career starts. The threetime NL Cy Young Award
winner walked none and
retired the first 14 batters.
Kershaw also hit an
RBI single in the third
off Drew Pomeranz (2-2),
who gave up three hits in
seven innings. Kershaw
is 6-0 with an 0.98 ERA
in his last nine starts
against the Padres. The
lefty threw seven innings
of one-hit ball at San
Diego on opening day in a
15-0 victory.
WHITE
SOX
7,
ORIOLES 1
BALTIMORE (AP) —
Chris Sale took a shutout into the sixth inning,
Brett Lawrie homered for
the third straight day and
the Chicago White Sox
beat the Baltimore Orioles
for a split of the fourgame series.
Jerry Sands had two
RBIs for the White Sox,
who took a control with
a five-run fifth inning
against Ubaldo Jimenez
(1-3). Lawrie went 3 for
3 with two walks and his
fourth home run. He went
6 for 14 in the series,
along with assembling the
first three-game homer
streak of his career.
Off to the best start
of his career, Sale (6-0)
allowed one run, five hits
and four walks over 5 1/3
innings. The left-hander
is the first White Sox
pitcher to win his first six
starts in a season since
Jon Garland went 8-0 in
2005.
NATIONALS
6,
CARDINALS 1
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Max
Scherzer pitched seven
strong innings to beat
his hometown team for
the first time, and the
Washington
Nationals
completed a three-game
sweep of the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Clint Robinson and
Danny Espinosa hit
back-to-back home runs,
providing the power for
Washington on a day
when NL MVP Bryce
Harper struck out all
four times up. It was
Washington’s first series
win in St. Louis since May
2007, and the Nationals
improved to 17-7 overall,
the best start in club history through 24 games.
Scherzer (3-1), who
grew up in suburban St.
Louis, struck out nine and
scattered four singles. He
didn’t allow a runner past
first base, earning his first
win in five career starts
against the Cardinals.
Carlos Martinez (4-1)
needed only 63 pitches to
get through his first five
innings, but was charged
with four runs and seven
hits in 6 2/3 innings.
REDS 6, PIRATES 5,
11 INNINGS
PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Scott Schebler hit an
RBI double in the 11th
inning and the Cincinnati
Reds snapped a six-game
skid that also ended the
Pittsburgh Pirates’ sixgame winning streak.
Eugenio Suarez led
off the Reds 11th with
a triple past diving left
fielder Starling Marte and
scored on Schebler’s hit
off Ryan Vogelsong (1-1).
Schebler had entered earlier in a double switch.
In the ninth, he doubled
home Adam Duvall for a
5-4 lead.
Blake
Wood
(3-0)
pitched two scoreless
innings, including a perfect 11th for the Reds,
who won for only the
second time since being
no-hit by the Cubs’ Jake
Arrieta on April 21.
Gregory Polanco and
John Jaso homered for
the Pirates, who committed a season-high four
errors and misplayed
other balls.
PHILLIES 2, INDIANS 1
PHILADELPHIA
(AP) — Vince Velasquez
tossed two-hit ball over
six innings and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat
the Cleveland Indians for
their sixth straight win.
Freddy Galvis had an
RBI single a day after
driving in three runs in
a 4-3 win, helping the
surprising Phillies win for
the 15th time in 21 games
since starting 0-4.
Velasquez (4-1) struck
out six and pitched
around trouble because
of four walks. He low-
ered his ERA to 1.44.
David Hernandez pitched
two hitless innings and
Hector Neris earned his
first career save after giving up a solo homer to
Carlos Santana with one
out in the ninth. Closer
Jeanmar Gomez wasn’t
available after pitching
four of the previous five
games.
Danny Salazar (2-2)
was the hard-luck loser
for Cleveland. He gave
up two runs, three hits
and fanned eight in seven
innings.
TIGERS 6, TWINS 5
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
doubled home the goahead run in the eighth
inning, Nick Castellanos
hit a three-run homer and
the Detroit Tigers beat the
Minnesota Twins for their
fifth straight victory.
Saltalamacchia’s drive
to left field off reliever
Ryan Pressly (1-2) allowed
Justin Upton to score
from first. Twins shortstop Eduardo Escobar
could’ve had a play at the
plate, but he bobbled the
ball on the relay throw.
Mark
Lowe
(1-0)
pitched a perfect seventh
for the win. Justin Wilson
worked a scoreless eighth
and Francisco Rodriguez
converted his seventh
save in eight opportunities. Detroit swept the
three-game series and
extended its longest winning streak of the season
after losing five of its previous six.
BRAVES 4, CUBS 3,
10 INNINGS
CHICAGO (AP) — Daniel
Castro singled and scored
on Nick Markakis’ sacrifice fly in the 10th inning,
and the short-handed
Atlanta Braves picked up
a rare victory by beating
the major league-leading
Chicago Cubs.
Jason Grilli pitched a
scoreless 10th for his second save and the Braves
won for just the sixth
time in 24 games despite
blowing a 3-0 after Julio
Teheran threw seven
scoreless innings.
Addison Russell’s oneout single in the ninth off
Arodys Vizcaino (1-0) tied
it for the Cubs, who scored
two in the eighth. Hector
Rondon (0-1) allowed two
hits in the 10th as the
Cubs’ four-game winning
streak was snapped.

Bellmont quad blast 4 X 800 record at John Reed Relays
KENDALLVILLE—A
new school and meet
record for Bellmont in
the storied John Reed
Relays Saturday helped
the Squaws finish in a
tie for third place in the
nine-team field.
The women's distance
medley team picked up
one of the two first-place
finishes for the Squaws
on the day with Emily
Fuelling,
Mackenzie
Neher, Emily Gunsett,
and Bailey Beery destroying the old record of
11:44.13 with a 11:15.19
effort. The event saw
Neher lead off with an
800 meter section followed by a 400 meter lap
from Gunsett, and then
800 meters was recorded by Fuelling. The final
anchor leg of the race
came down to a twoperson battle between
Beery and DeKalb's Tyler
Schwartz
with Beery
keeping Schwartz at bay
to give the Squaws a 1.88
second triumph.
A perhaps even more
stunning performance
gave the Bellmonters
their second blue ribbon
of the meet in the 4x8
relay, one of the strongest events for Coach
Carl Risch's crew.
Just
after
having participated in the
4x4 relay where the
Squaws (Gunsett, Neher,
Fuelling, and Gabby
Birch) finished third in
a season best time of
4:17.01, three of those
athletes came right back
to run the 4x8 relay and
defeated DeKalb 9:51.7
to 9:54.25. The only difference in the foursome
of the two events was
that Beery ran instead of
Birch.
"That was a phenomenal race for us. To
have them come back
just after better in a
season best time with
yet another season best
time in an even longer
relay was really exciting," Risch noted, adding
all four members of the
4x8 team had individual
season best times as well
with Neher leading the
way at 2:24, Beery going
2:25, Fuelling at 2:28,
and Gunsett at 2:33.
Beery and Schwartz
have gone back and forth
in their distance battles
for the last two years and
Schwartz topped Beery
in the 1600 meter run
Saturday by three seconds, 5:13.70 to 5:16.70.
Fuelling also scored a
team point with an eighth
place finish in 5:46.62.
Bellmont still holds the
John Reed Relays record
in the 1600 as Allyson
Hammond went 4:57.24
in 1999, an effort that is
also a Bellmont school
record.
Brittney
Hartman
defied the nasty weather conditions with a 4'8
leap in the high jump to
record a third place finish. "I would have never
have predicted that finish for Brittney. There
were a couple of girls she
beat that came in seeded
with jumps of 4'10 or
better this year. It was a
huge day for her," Risch
praised.
The host East Noble
Knights
easily
won
the team competition
with 121 points while
Columbia City was second at 79 and Bellmont
tied Goshen for third at
63. Wawasee and DeKalb
were tied for fifth at 55
followed by West Noble
38, Bishop Luers 35, and
Lakeland 30.
"This is an event that
is very sprint heavy and
for us to finish as well
as we did being a distance-based team was
very encouraging. We've
never won the John
Reed Relays in all the
years I've been coaching
and there is always for
good, solid athletes here
providing regional level
competition. It's always
a good experience for our
girls to compete against
some of the better girls
in northeast Indiana
here," Risch noted.

Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) —
DeMar DeRozan scored
30
points,
Jonas
Valanciunas had 15
rebounds and 10 points
and the Toronto Raptors
beat the Indiana Pacers
89-84 on Sunday night in
Game 7 of the first-round
playoff series to advance
to face Miami in the conference semifinals.
Game 1 is Tuesday
night in Toronto.
Rookie Norman Powell
added 13 points, Kyle
Lowry had 11 points and
nine assists, and Patrick
Patterson had 11 pointed to help Toronto win
a seven-game series for
the first time in franchise
history.
The Raptors won their
first postseason series
since a five-game triumph over the New York
Knicks in 2001, ending
the NBA’s longest active
drought between playoff
series victories.
Paul
George
led
Indiana with 26 points
and 12 rebounds, George
Hill scored 19 points,
and Monta Ellis had 15.
Up 78-64 after three
quarters, the Raptors
didn’t make their first
basket of the final quarter until a 3 by Powell
at 8:19. Joseph followed
with a pullup jumper to
make it 81-67, leading to
an Indiana timeout.
The Pacers responded
by scoring 12 of the next
14 points, cutting it to
85-79 with 3:23 remaining. Indiana cut it to
three at 85-82 on Ellis’
3-pointer with 2:37 left,
but Lowry answered with
a driving layup.
George made a pair of
free throws with 52 seconds left to pull Indiana
within three again at
87-84. After DeRozan
missed
a
3-pointer,
Solomon Hill grabbed
the rebound and Indiana
called a timeout to draw
up a play for George,
but he turned the ball
over. DeRozan made the
