City downtown poised for change
Officials creating an ‘innovative’ incentive package
By NICOLE MINIER
The Post & Mail
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia
City officials are working together to
bring growth to the downtown area.
Columbia City Councilwoman
Jennifer Zartman Romano, who
also works for the Whitley County
Chamber of Commerce, said she
and members of the Columbia City
Redevelopment Commission are
working together to create incentive
packages to bring new business to
downtown Columbia City.
“This could potentially impact
new and existing building owners,”
Romano said. “We’re excited to look
at the options to grow downtown.
There’s a lot of people doing a lot already — I hope this is the extra push
it takes. We’re excited.”
Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel said city government can play an
important role in revitalizing downtown business.
“We need to be innovative from
our perspective too,” Daniel said.
Romano said officials are “think-
ing outside the box;” however, she
did not divulge specific plans on the
incentive package until more details
are set.
“With the combination of the Redevelopment Commission, Main
Street Association, Downtown
Business Alliance, Whitley County
Chamber of Commerce and lots of
other people who are putting their
heart and soul into downtown, I am
excited to see where this goes,” said
Jeff Walker, Columbia City commu-
nity development director. “We have
an exciting year ahead of us.”
Walker said work is set to begin
soon on the Thomas R. Marshall Plaza, a pocket park on West Van Buren
Street downtown.
The plaza is a project by the Columbia City Main Street Association
and Downtown Business Alliance.
It is not part of Columbia City’s
Parks Department, as the land is
owned by the Redevelopment Commission.
Downtown growth has been an
area of focus for city leaders recently,
as a downtown summit was held in
March for businessmen and government officials to discuss the future of
downtown.
The city has received a grant from
the Office of Community and Rural
Affairs (OCRA), ranging from $5,000
to $10,000, to improve life quality,
spur economic development and
assist ways to help investment and
employment downtown.
’Busco downtown plaza dedicated Primary
Former Lt. Governor visits Churubusco for ceremony
By NICOLE MINIER
The Post & Mail
CHURUBUSCO — A
project that’s been five years
in the making finally came
to fruition for the town of
Churubusco this past year.
The Main Street Enhancement Project, which began
last August, improved the
town’s sidewalks, benches,
lighting and other cosmetic
appeals.
The $600,000 project had
been in the planning phase
for several years. Wednesday afternoon, members of
the community, along with
a special guest, held a ceremony for the plaza, which
is located at “the point,” located at the intersection of
Line and Main streets.
The enhancement project spans from 114 S. Main
Street to Washington Street.
Former Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann
was a guest speaker at the
event, and followed words
of gratitude by Town Council President Frank Kessler,
who spoke highly of all involved with the project.
Refreshments were offered afterwards at the Boy
Scout Building.

City vehicle
swap explained
By NICOLE MINIER
The Post & Mail
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City’s mayor and
his department heads have shifted around some vehicles in an effort to put the best vehicles with the
right person.
“We did do some vehicle swapping,” said Mayor
Ryan Daniel. “I didn’t buy a new vehicle. If you see
me in a newer, nicer vehicle, it wasn’t a new purchase.”
Daniel said he received electric department head
Shawn Lickey’s Ford Escape, and moved his Ford
Taurus to communications department head Terry
Wherry. Wherry’s Jeep was moved to Lickey, whose
department is saving money to purchase a pickup

COLUMBIA CITY — At
almost 50 percent of registered voters hitting the polls
Tuesday, Whitley County
had the best turnout on record for a primary election.
Jessica Hockemeyer, of the
Whitley County Clerk’s Office, said Tuesday’s turnout
of 49.35 percent is the best
she has on record — which
dates back to 1988.
Hockemeyer said the closest any primary has come
to this year’s turnout was
in the presidential primary
in 2008, where there was a
42.56 percent showing.
“We are very excited
about the turnout on Tuesday,” Hockemeyer said.
Of 22,225 registered voters, 10,969 hit the polls in
this year’s primary.
Officials said they expected a larger turnout this year
due to high-profile presidential races.
Courthouse makes transition
to electronic filing, scanners
By NICOLE MINIER
The Post & Mail
COLUMBIA CITY — Several offices
in Whitley County’s Courthouse are
making the shift to e-filing for court
records.
Whitley County Clerk Debbie
Beers approached the county council Wednesday to request additional
funding for scanning equipment for
her office, the Prosecutor’s Office, and
both Superior and Circuit courts.
The Clerk’s Office has already started to make the move to electronic paperwork, purchasing several scanners
through grants and a clerk’s fund. The
Council approves clerk’s purchases
scanners are $938 apiece and Beers
asked the council for permission to
purchase six more for a total cost of
$5,628.
While many thought e-filing would
save employees time, Beers said at this
time the process is time consuming,
but is being pushed by the state government.
“It’s been more work for the courts
and my staff,” Beers said. “With every case, we have to scan every single
piece of paper. Eventually the goal is
to be paperless.”
Now, the clerk and courts have to

maintain both paper and electronic

“…the trickle-down effect from the
state’s infinite wisdom,” opined Councilman Tom Western.
Beers said the files are backed up on
several different servers in order to retain the files.
“Debbie has been very proactive to
get us grants to start this process,” said
Commissioner George Schrumpf.
The council unanimously approved
the purchase, which will be paid for
out of the county’s Cumulative Capital fund.

“Setting Shawn up to get

It is unclear when a new

COLUMBIA CITY —
Whitley County’s departments may also swap vehicles soon.
After combining the
county engineer and county
highway department superintendent positions, county
commissioners
reported
there now is an extra vehi-
cle available for use.
County officials discussed transferring a spare
Ford Explorer to Scott Wagner at the health department, then shifting Wagner’s Ford Escape to Craig
Wagner at the building department.
The building department’s Ford Fusion would
then be used by part-time
employees, and their old
Ford Crown Victoria would
be rotated out.

Hillicans? As Trump
wins, Clinton explores
how to woo GOPers
ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — With Donald Trump’s remaining rivals bowing out of the race, clearing his
path to the nomination, Hillary Clinton is looking for
ways to woo Republicans turned off by the brash billionaire.
The Democratic front-runner’s campaign believes
Trump’s historically high unfavorable ratings and
penchant for controversy may be enough to persuade a slice of GOP voters to get behind her bid,
in much the same way so-called Reagan Democrats
sided with the Republican president in the 1980s.
As Trump stood alone on Wednesday after Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich ended their
bids, there were some early signs that a sliver of the
party might see Clinton as the only option.
“I’m with her,” tweeted Mark Salter, a top campaign aide to 2008 Republican nominee John McCain.
Democrats caution their effort to win over Clinton Republicans — or Hilla-cans — is in its earliest stages, but could grow to include ads and other
outreach targeted in particular at suburban women
in battleground states. Already, aides say, a number
of Republicans have privately told Clinton and her
team they plan to break party ranks and support her.
“Let’s get on the American team,” Clinton said,
making an explicit appeal to independents and Republicans, in an interview with CNN on Wednesday.
Hoping to hasten any move to her side, her campaign on Wednesday released a list of Republicans
vowing never to vote for Trump along with a web
ad featuring clips of prominent GOPers, including
his former rivals, bashing the New York billionaire in
every possibly way.

Fired up by Sanders, Democrats
shift left on health care issues
WASHINGTON (AP) —
With the Obama administration counting down its final
year, many Democrats are
finding less to like about the
president’s health care law,
unsure about its place among
their party’s achievements.
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ call
for “Medicare for all” seems
to have rekindled aspirations
for bigger changes beyond
“Obamacare.” That poses a
challenge for Hillary Clinton, who has argued that the
health care law is working
and the nation should build
on it, not start over.
Two recent polls have
shown an uptick in negative
ratings of the Affordable Care
Act, or ACA, and the shifting
sentiments seem to come from
Democrats and Democraticleaning independents. For
example, in the latest installment of the Kaiser Family
Foundation health care poll,
the share of Democrats with
unfavorable views increased
by 6 percentage points.
Underlying the unease
seems to be a growing conviction that the law did not go
far enough. About 27 million
people remain uninsured, and
many who gained coverage
find it costly. Kaiser found
that for the first time, a 51-percent majority of Democrats
wants to expand what the law
does, a sharp increase from
the 36 percent who said so in
December.
The health care law was a
good start “but it doesn’t do
all the things we need to have
done,” said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash.
“I think frankly Bernie’s
campaign has stirred it up,”
he added. A longtime advocate of coverage for all, McDermott is supporting Clinton.
Democrats’ shifting views
could make things tricky for
Clinton if she’s picked as the
nominee over Sanders, which
appears likely. Clinton established her commitment to
covering the uninsured long
ago, during the losing battle
for health care legislation in
her husband’s administration.
Going into the 2016 pri-
Churubusco Jr.-Sr. High School has partnered with Parkview Health and local emergency agencies in an effort to inform students
about the dangers of drinking and driving
ahead of the school’s prom.
On May 6, the school officials plan to stage
a mock collision in the school parking lot,
involving sirens, emergency vehicles, and
Parkview’s Samaritan helicopter. School officials plan to begin the mock collision at 1 p.m.
Blue Lake Conservancy

As of May 2, the Blue Lake Conservancy
District has moved from the Blue Lake Association Building to a new location. The office is now located at 7133 E. Harrold Road in
Blue Lake.
Customers can drop utility payments off in
the drop box on the side of the new building.
The mailing address, phone number, and fax
number of the facilities remain the same. Customers can call the administrator and clerk of
the the conservancy district for more information at 450-6035.
State celebrates 100-year
anniversary for parks
As the Indiana is celebrating its bicentennial, another aspect of the state is celebrating its
100-year anniversary: the state parks system.
In 2015, Albion’s Chain O’ Lakes State Park
had over 301,000 visitors on the southern end
of the park, and revenue exceeded $1 million
for the year.
In addition to the numerous activities that
Chain O’ Lakes State Park visitors can engage
in, the park also hosts a variety of events
throughout the year.
This past weekend, the park held the Indiana Trail 100 ultra marathon, which included
a 50 and 100-mile event. Upcoming Chain O’
Lakes events include the Bowen Homestead
Historic Hike on June 3, the Family Fishing
Derby on June 4, and the 100-minute Centennial Celebration Hike on June 10.
The Indiana state parks system came into
existence upon the recommendation of Col.
Richard Lieber, an Indianapolis businessman,
according to the Department of Natural Resources. Lieber also became the first director
of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
Indiana’s first two state parks were at McCormick’s Creek and Turkey Run, both established in 1916. Since then, Indiana’s state
parks have remained very financially stable.
According to the DNR, Hoosier state parks
rank third in the nation for self-sufficiency.
There were more than 16 million visitors
passing through Indiana’s 32 state properties
in the last year.
Indiana students to
vote in mock election
this November
mary season, she cast herself
as the candidate of continuity,
promising to defend Obama’s
health care accomplishments
from repeal by Republicans.
Lately she’s been stressing changes she’d make to
increase coverage, make it
more affordable and even encourage states to experiment
with government-sponsored
alternatives to private health
insurance.
“She can’t have so many
people who are not excited
about something and say ‘I’m
going to continue it for eight
more years,’” said Robert
Blendon, a professor at the
Harvard T.H. Chan School of
Public Health, who follows
public opinion on health care.

CHS plans mock accident

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Students throughout Indiana
will get a chance to make their choices for president, governor and senator through a mock election this November.
The students will vote Nov. 8, the same day adults go to
the polls for the general election.
Organizers say the Indiana Kids' Election is based on
the premise that voting is occasionally done by inspiration, but more often by habit. The program seeks to emulate the election process.
Students participate in voting milestones such as registering to vote on or before Oct. 11.
Under Indiana law, schools are required to give instruction on the election process two weeks preceding a general election for all students in grades 6-12.

Actor Robby Benson
leaving IU, having
made a lasting impact
During her sophomore year, Emmalie Reif remembers feeling “super lost.” But one day, actor Robby Benson stopped
by one of her classes to talk about the film industry. She left
inspired.
“I never heard anyone at a university level speak like this,
and so eloquently,
and to be able to
inspire the students
that weren’t even
his,” Reif said.
When Benson
joined Indiana
University as a proBy Marcella Creps
fessor of practice
in fall 2013, Reif
started taking his classes; she has been working with him
ever since.
Benson was brought to IU under a three-year contract,
which expires at the end of this semester. Benson, who
has been teaching at various schools for 28 years, said he
thought he would be here for five to eight years, but now
he needs to take care of his family.
“That’s really important right now. It’s so funny when you
hit 60; suddenly, the people you love and you know are starting to go through health issues. So right now is the perfect
time for me to really devote myself to really taking care of
my family and writing,” Benson said.
In his three years at IU, Benson has had quite an impact on
the students, and the university as well.
In 2014, when IU announced its Student-Athlete Bill of
Rights, the plan included a “Hoosiers for Life” program
that offered IU athletes a chance to earn a degree if they left
school prior to graduation. Benson was credited for his role
in the conception and development of that right. For Benson,
the adoption of his idea showed how much IU cares for its
students.
Teaching film students doesn’t just mean teaching them
how to work a camera or write a script. Benson used IU’s
faculty to help teach the students about entertainment law,
used Jacobs School of Music students to write scores and had
journalism students help with writing EPKs, or electronic
press kits.
“This is collaborating across the boards. We also use theater students whenever we can as our actors because, to me,
I believe that a student in a theater department can be remarkably talented, but you can’t make a living when you
leave school just doing Shakespeare,” Benson said.
Collaborating with faculty and students from various university departments creates a strong bond that may serve
students in the future as they continue to work in their field
of study.
“People go into the arts because they love that family
experience. That’s the way that it is in this class as well,”
Benson said. “They love one another and respect each other.
They’re authentically good, good people.”
Benson said he feels that he still has another musical, and
possible film, to write. He is open to returning to teach workshops or seminars at IU. “The best thing about all of this is
I really don’t want to do it anywhere else,” he said. “Students are supposed to come first, and you know that’s what
they do here, and that’s why the place is so intoxicating and
heady.”
Reif said it’s “devastating” to know that future students
won’t have the benefit of learning from Benson. She’s also
hopeful that the university can find someone from the industry who can offer real-world experience and connections
as Benson did.
“You’re not a number to Robby. He loves his students and
cares so much about them. Not even the film lessons, those
are always good, but he’s taught me so much about life, and
I’ll never be able to thank him enough for that,” Reif said.
So far, no one has been named to replace Benson.
“The Media School is in the midst now of a search for a
new film production faculty member, and it’s likely that we
will conduct an additional search (or more) in the coming
year,” said James Shanahan, dean of the Media School, in
an email.

Musings
A tale of two friends and their support
Today, Dear Reader, I want to
tell you two stories that will help
strengthen your faith in the goodness
of others.
There are a lot of stories I could tell
but I’m just choosing just two today
and can guarantee you, neither one of
the individuals I’m writing about will
be thrilled they are in today’s column
. . . that’s what makes them so special.
They don’t do what they do for attention. They do it because it’s who they
are in the Lord.
I can’t remember not knowing my
friend, Mike. My earliest memories of
church as a little girl include Mike and
his wife. They loved me, they loved
music, and they loved God . . . not in
that order. Mike and his wife taught
me, laughed with me, and supported
me. They were on my team and I was
grateful. They are the kind of people a
young person needs in his or her life.
And while family is necessary and
greatly appreciated, a young person
needs wonderful solid adult friends
too.
We barely made it under the wire,
but imagine how thrilled I was to
learn that my daughter, Alissa, would
have Mike as a middle school teacher.
She’d heard he was mean and tough. I
said, “You will get along with him just
fine as long as you obey the rules.”
And she did. He made her laugh.
He furthered her interest in history.
And just like he’d loved me with all
my faults and failures, he loved Alissa
too.
A few months ago, Mike stopped to
talk with Alissa at a basketball game.
Being a direct person, he didn’t beat
around the bush — a trait Alissa and
I greatly appreciate. A lot of people
look at Alissa and me like we are
animals caught in a trap simply to
be pitied beyond belief, but Mike has
never given either of us that look. He

This ‘n’
That
Amy J. Jagger
showed Alissa an “Alissa bracelet” he
wears on his wrist. He said, “Alissa,
every night this bracelet reminds me
of you. And it reminds me to pray for
you, just like I pray for all my kids and
grandkids . . . and Alissa, I am not going to take this bracelet off until you
walk or I die!!!”
Mike has never lost faith in the
power of God and that my daughter
will walk again. No flowery speeches,
no quoting scripture, nothing wishywashy or teary . . . that’s my friend,
Mike.
It is no secret, Dear Reader, that I
have struggled since Alissa and I returned home from rehab in Atlanta
and going out in public sometimes
is something I literally have to make
myself do. For a while I only left the
house for church, work or groceries.
During those days I felt as if waves
were just crashing over me and I
was simply trying to stay afloat in an
ocean of chaos.
And now, while things are a bit better, I can honestly tell you that you
might not be able to imagine how
much I miss my old life. Some days
I am weepy. Some days I am calm.
Some days I am incredibly angry. And
some days, even though I never give
up hope, some days I am not sure if I
can keep breathing.
Enter a sweet young gal named Lindy. I work with Lindy. Bless Lindy, I
can never predict what emotion might
be rising to the top when I arrive at
work but Lindy is always ready. It
seems like she always knows exactly
the right thing to do or say. If I need
silence; she grants me silence. If I need
someone to cry with; she cries with
me. If laughter is on the menu, she
laughs with me. I don’t know if my
jokes are really that funny, but nonetheless, she laughs appropriately. She
sat with me when I saw photos of our
wreck that I’d never seen before. She
hung with me as I read for the first
time a very painful West Virginia
newspaper article about my wreck
and the lady who caused it.
The truth is, knowing I have Lindy
at work is literally what propels me to
keep going some days.
And while Lindy is an amazing person, Lindy didn’t do all that on her
own. Lindy is a prayer warrior and I
will have no idea this side of Heaven
how often Lindy has prayed for me
and my family. Lindy has literally taken a seat with me on this roller coaster
journey. She is a young person who
is wise beyond her years . . . that’s my
friend, Lindy.
One friend I’ve known “forever.”
One friend I’ve recently just met. One
friend is a grandfather. One friend is
a young mother. Mike doesn’t know
Lindy and Lindy doesn’t know Mike.
But isn’t it a beautiful thing to
watch, Dear Reader, how God takes
the tapestry of our lives: the good and
the bad . . . and skillfully weaves it to
raise beauty from the ashes?
I wish you a Mike. I wish you a
Lindy.
But more importantly, I wish you
the comfort and peace of knowing
and trusting in the Lord like my two
friends . . . and then the ability to
share that with others.
Amy J. Jagger is a Whitley County wife and
mother who is continually amazed at the absolutely fantastic people the Lord has put in her

Today is Thursday, May 5, the 126th
day of 2016. There are 240 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 5, 1866, the
Today
town of Waterloo, New
in History York, observed a day
honoring the fallen soldiers of the Civil War. (Although a
proclamation signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966 recognizes this
observance as the first Memorial Day,
the claim is disputed by other communities who say they were the first
to create a holiday commemorating
America’s war dead.)
On this date:
In 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte, 51,
died in exile on the island of St. Helena.
In 1862, Mexican troops defeated
French occupying forces in the Battle
of Puebla.
In 1891, New York’s Carnegie Hall
(then named “Music Hall”) had its official opening night, featuring Russian
composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky as a
guest conductor.
In 1925, schoolteacher John T. Scopes
was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching
the theory of evolution. (Scopes was
Rhymes with Orange
found guilty, but his conviction was
later set aside.)
In 1936, the Ethiopian capital, Addis
Ababa, fell to Italian invaders.
In 1941, Ethiopian Emperor Haile
Selassie returned to Addis Ababa after
the Italians were driven out with the
help of Allied forces.
In 1945, in the only fatal attack of its
kind during World War II, a Japanese
balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart
Mountain in Oregon, killing the pregnant wife of a minister and five children. Denmark and the Netherlands
were liberated as a German surrender
went into effect.
In 1955, West Germany became a fully sovereign state. The baseball musical
“Damn Yankees” opened on Broadway.
In 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard
Jr. became America’s first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital
flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7.
In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first of his Triple
Crown victories.
In 1981, Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died at the
Maze Prison in Northern Ireland in his
66th day without food.
In 1994, Singapore caned American
teenager Michael Fay for vandalism,
a day after the sentence was reduced
from six lashes to four in response to
an appeal by President Bill Clinton.
Ten years ago: A military transport
helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan, killing all ten U.S. soldiers on
board. CIA Director Porter Goss resigned in a second-term shake-up of
President George W. Bush’s team. British Prime Minister Tony Blair shuffled
his Cabinet, replacing Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
Five years ago: Solemnly honoring
victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks,
President Barack Obama hugged survivors at ground zero in New York
and declared that the killing of Osama
bin Laden was an American message
to the world: “When we say we will
never forget, we mean what we say.”
Pakistan’s army broke its silence over
the U.S. commando raid that killed bin
Laden, acknowledging its “shortcomings” in finding him but threatening to
review cooperation with Washington if
there were another similar violation of
Pakistani sovereignty. Director, playwright and screenwriter Arthur Laurents (“West Side Story”) died.

Attorney: Prince
arranged to meet
addiction doctor Sept. 11 families seek answers
•Thursdays - 6:30 p.m.
•Fridays - 10:30 a.m.
Preschool families are invited to listen to stories
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — In his final weeks, Prince hid signs
of trouble from his fans, stonewalling reports of an overdose
that required an emergency plane landing and making a
brief public appearance to reassure them. But privately, the
superstar was in crisis, seeking help from a prominent addiction expert that ultimately came too late.
The day before he died, Prince’s representatives reached
out to a prominent California doctor who specializes in
treating addiction and set up an initial meeting between the
two, the doctor’s Minneapolis attorney, William Mauzy, said
Wednesday. He said the doctor, Howard Kornfeld, couldn’t
leave right away so he sent his son, Andrew, who flew out
that night.
It was Andrew Kornfeld who called 911 the next morning
after he and two staffers found Prince unresponsive in an
elevator at his Paisley Park studio complex, the lawyer said.
Prince was declared dead shortly thereafter on April 21. He
was 57.
The details about Prince’s death that emerged Wednesday
raise questions about whether he received appropriate care
and whether those who sought to provide it could face legal
consequences for their actions.
Although autopsy results haven’t been released, Mauzy’s
revelations, which were first reported by the Star Tribune,
buttress reports that Prince had been fighting — and ultimately lost — a battle with prescription painkillers.
Mauzy confirmed that Andrew Kornfeld, whom he also is
representing, flew to Minnesota on behalf of his father in the
hopes of connecting Prince with a local physician the morning he was found dead.

in secret pages from inquiry
NEW YORK (AP) — Fifteen years after the attacks that
killed her husband, Lorie Van Auken thinks she still hasn’t
been told the whole truth about 9/11.
She wants to know what’s in 28 classified pages locked
away in a basement room of the U.S. Capitol. They describe
investigative leads about “specific sources of foreign support” for the terrorists and might shed light on possible
Saudi connections.
The secrecy “gnaws at you every day,” Van Auken says.
“Fifteen years is long enough. We want to stop guessing.”
She soon may. President Barack Obama has hinted that at
least portions of the 28 pages may be released shortly amid
growing calls to reveal what some see as a hidden chapter in
the explanation of Sept. 11.
Victims’ relatives say they and the public deserve full
transparency about the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil,
and some argue that continued secrecy raises troubling
questions about who or what is being shielded, and why.
Some Sept. 11 families expect the pages’ contents will help
them sue the Saudi Arabian government, since a former lawmaker has said the 2002 document casts suspicion that the
terrorists got financial help from the kingdom, though U.S.
investigations later concluded otherwise.
But the push to unveil the pages stirs mixed feelings
among victims’ families, and sometimes even within them.
Diane Massaroli, who lost her husband, is convinced responsibility for 9/11 extends beyond al-Qaida. She and
sister-in-law Joann Massaroli find suspicions of Saudi links
compelling, and they lament that important questions have
been left unanswered.
“To see us get to the bottom of the financial paper trail
... would give me tremendous satisfaction,” Joann Massaroli
says. “To me, those pages hold something that’s going to be
revealing.”
Diane’s son, Michael, doubts it. He favors releasing the
pages but thinks the idea of Saudi complicity doesn’t add
up, and he wonders about the point of grasping for what he
sees as fragments of data.
“There’s no information out there that’s going to bring my
father back, that’s going to bring any of these people back,”
says Michael, 20, a college senior and his father’s namesake.
“I’m at as much peace as I will ever be with what happened.”
The classified pages come from a congressional inquiry
into the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people when hijacked planes smashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field in 2001.
Republican President George W. Bush decided releasing
the pages could divulge intelligence sources and methods.
Obama tells Flint residents, ‘I’ve got your back’
FLINT, Mich. (AP) — Sipping filtered city water to
show it’s again drinkable,
President Barack Obama
promised Wednesday to ride
herd on leaders at all levels
of government until every
drop of water flowing into
homes in Flint, Michigan, is
safe to use.
He also promised that the
aging pipes that contaminated the water with lead will
be replaced, but cautioned
that the project will take
time. Obama said he wanted to use the crisis to make
long-term improvements to
the city, where more than 40
percent of residents live in
poverty.
“It’s not going to happen overnight, but we have
to get started,” Obama told
hundreds of people gathered in a high school gymnasium. Obama spoke after
he was briefed on the federal
response to the water contamination and had met privately with nine residents.
Obama said he understood why people are scared
and angry and feel let down.
He said what happened in
Flint was a manmade disaster that didn’t have to happen. But he said it did happen and everyone must now
work together to fix it.
“I’ve got your back,”
Obama said. “I will not rest
and I’m going to make sure
that the leaders at every
level of government don’t
rest until every drop of wa-

ter that flows to your homes
is safe to drink and safe to
cook with and safe to bathe
in.”
He called providing safe
drinking water a basic responsibility of government. And while he said he
didn’t want to go over every “screw-up that resulted
in contaminated water,” he
blamed an overarching attitude that less government
is better.
“It’s an ideology that
undervalues the common
good,” Obama said.
After coughing several
times during his remarks,
Obama asked for and drank
from a glass of water. He
also drank city water after
getting a lengthy briefing
on the crisis, which forced
residents to spend months
drinking, cooking and bathing with bottled water.
Obama declared a state of
emergency in Flint in midJanuary and ordered federal
aid to supplement the state
and local response. By then,
however, the crisis was in
full bloom.
It took several months for
the nation to focus on the
beaten-down city’s plight,
raising questions about
how race, more than half of
Flint’s residents are black,
and poverty influenced decisions that led to the tainted
water supply and the sluggish response.
The city, in an effort to
save money while under
state management, began
drawing its water from the
Flint River in April 2014. Despite complaints from residents about the smell and
taste and health problems,
city leaders insisted the water was safe. However, doctors reported last September
that the blood of Flint children contained high levels
of lead.
The source of the city’s
water has been switched
back, but the lead problem
still is not fully solved. Most
people are drinking filtered
or bottled water.

Dear Realtor: This
goes for any voicemail,
whether cellphone or landline answering machine.
Sometimes the connection
is scratchy. Repeating the
number slowly would help.
Please, readers, keep this
in mind. It could explain
why some of your phone
messages haven’t been

Dear Annie: Thank you
for the support you’ve
shown in regard to organ,
tissue and eye donation.
The laws about organ
donation vary from state
to state, but in many states,
a person’s documented
donation wish now takes
priority over the family’s
preference. It works similarly to a legal will — if
your wish to become an
organ and tissue donor is
legally documented, your
family cannot change it.
However, it is still important to share your wishes
with your family so they
are not surprised. Their
cooperation and support
make the process go much
more smoothly.

donor in your state, please

MIAMI (AP) — Chris
Bosh’s season is now officially over, regardless of
how far the Miami Heat
advance in the postseason.
The Heat and Bosh
made the announcement
Wednesday afternoon after the team practiced in
Toronto, ending the recent speculation that Bosh
would try to return to the
court during the playoffs.
Bosh has not played
since the All-Star break
after a blood clot was
discovered in his left leg.
It’s the second consecutive year that Bosh’s season ended at the break
because of problems with
clotting, and the joint
statement came one day
after the National Basketball Players Association
urged Bosh and the team
to resolve any issues they
have about his immediate
future.
“The Miami Heat and
Chris Bosh announce that
Chris will not be playing in the remainder of
the 2016 NBA Playoffs,”
read the statement. “The
Heat, Chris, the doctors
and medical team have
been working together
throughout this process
and will continue to do so
to return Chris to playing
basketball as soon as possible.”
Bosh is expected to
remain with the team
throughout the remainder
of the playoffs — helping
his teammates however he
can. And while the statement finally provides
resolution on his shortterm status, it remains unknown if he has dealt with
any other clots or if he remains on blood thinners.
“This has been going
on since February,” Heat
guard Dwyane Wade said
in Toronto on Wednesday,
before the announcement.
“All we know is that he’s
taking care of himself,
health-wise, and that’s all
we care about.”

Colts sign 1st-round
pick QB Ryan Kelly
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP)
— The Indianapolis Colts
signed first-round draft pick
Ryan Kelly on Wednesday.
Taken with the 18th pick,
Kelly is expected to be the
starting center for quarterback Andrew Luck.
Terms of the deal were not
immediately disclosed but
first-round picks typically
sign four-year deals with a
fifth-year team option.
The 6-foot-4, 313-pound
Ohio native was a three-year
starter at Alabama and part
of two national championship teams. Kelly, last year’s
Rimington Award winner,
was the only center selected
in the first round.
The move comes two days
before Indianapolis opens a
three-day rookie minicamp
at the team complex.
Indy has used five starting
centers over the past four
seasons, including Khaled
Holmes, who was released
Monday.

in the third, and Correa’s first home
run since April 6 came in the fourth.

performance of the season at a time
when New York desperately needed
a victory. The lefty allowed six hits,
walked two and struck out six.
Dillon living up to potential
in 3rd full NASCAR season
(AP) — Austin Dillon was safe at
home twice this week.
He beat the relay throw to the plate
and scored on a triple and a throwing
error in a celebrity NASCAR softball
game.
Even more impressive, Dillon survived the wreckage at Talladega Superspeedway and crossed the finish
line with a career-best third-place finish.
With the famed No. 3 on his car and
deep bloodlines in the sport, Dillon
has started to fulfill some of the promise heaped on him early in his career.
His three top-five finishes are two
more than he had over his first two
full seasons and his five top 10s match
last year’s total.
Maybe Dillon isn’t an intimidating
threat to win a championship, yet. But
winning a race doesn’t sound so farfetched this season.
Dillon’s car got plenty banged-up
Sunday. It needed 16 pit stops and its
entire front was duct taped to reach
the finish.
“No one really panicked. We were
in three crashes and had our best finish,” Dillon said. “Not many of us really look forward to that because you
put yourself in some pretty bad situations those weekends. I feel like it’s
part of the racing.”
Dillon won the Truck championship
in 2011 driving the No. 3 made famous
by Dale Earnhardt for Richard Childress Racing, and the Xfinity title in
2012 in the same number.

LGBT laws, NCAA policy could keep teams at home
Teams could pull out of
scheduled NCAA events this
spring because of new state
laws in North Carolina, Mississippi and Tennessee while
the sport's governing body's
demands for discriminationfree environments at the places where its events are held
won't take effect until the fall.
Whitko,
Though there are many
potential unknowns before
the measure takes effect, 27
NCAA championships are
scheduled this spring and
some state laws are already
on the books. The decision
whether to participate are
not being made by coaches or
athletic departments.
A Minnesota state university system banned its
athletic teams from traveling to tournaments in North
Carolina, which passed a law
that opponents say can allow
discrimination against LGBT
people. Most of the schools
in the system are Division II
or III level; the University of
Minnesota, a member of the
Big Ten, is not one of them.
The decision means that
one of the top baseball teams
in Division II, St. Cloud State
— ranked No. 3 in one of the
top 25 polls — will likely stay
home and forgo the opportunity to reach its first Divi-
from A12
a 2-0 lead.
Whitko got on the board
in the top of the second inning. The Wildcats loaded
the bases with one out, getting a single run by Whitney Marsh to pull within
one at 2-1.
Manchester threatened
in the bottom of the third
when the lead off batter
reached on a Wildcat error.
With runners on first and
second and no outs, Wildcat second baseman Haley
Yohe fielded a grounder,
tagged the runner and
made the throw to first for
a double play. A ground
out to shortstop Kennedy
Krull ended the Manchester
threat.
Whitko took the lead in
the top of the fourth. Backto-back singles by Reannon
Hopkins and Krull, a fielder’s choice hit by Riley Insley and a single by Haley
Yohe drove in two Whitko
runs to put the Lady Wildcats in front 3-2.
Manchester went back in
front with two runs in the
bottom of the sixth inning,
with both runs coming from
Wildcat miscues. The first
baserunner got on board on
an error and later scored on
a throwing error that put
the second runner on base.
The second Lady Squire run
came across on a double to
center field, giving Manchester a 4-3 lead going into
the final inning.
Whitko took the lead
back in the top of the seventh. Pitcher Ellie Snep
helped her own cause with
a home run to left center to
tie the score at 4-4.
The next batter, Emalee
Duggins, hit into the gap in
right and motored around
the bases for a triple.
A sacrifice by Emily
Hughes scored Duggins to
give the Wildcats the lead
5-4 going into Manchester’s
last at bat.
Manchester lead-off batter Emma West doubled up
the middle. A throwing error by the Wildcats gave the
Squires runners at the corners with no outs.
The next batter Cierra
Carter drove a Snep pitch
over the centerfield fence
for a three-run, walk-off
home run that gave Manchester the 7-5 win.
The Wildcats out hit the
Squires 11-6 for the contest,
committed six errors in the
loss. drops the Wildcats to
10-3 on the season and 4-1
sion II World Series later this
month in Cary, North Carolina.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton said system leaders are in
the process of reconsidering
the ban, and St. Cloud State
President Earl Potter is hopeful a resolution is reached.
He said in a statement
Wednesday that the school
will "not engage in any speculation at this point" because
the NCAA "is tracking this
situation and is working to
determine how many teams
might be affected by such
bans."

Whitko softball
gets 7-4 TRC win
over Northfield
WABASH — Whitko softball pitchers Andrea Snavely and Tori Silveus combined to limit a hard-hitting
Northfield team to six hits,
as the Lady Wildcats scored
a 7-4 Three Rivers Conference win Tuesday evening
on the Lady Norsemen’s
diamond.
Whitko took a 1-0 lead in
the top of the first inning
and added two more runs
in the top of the second before the host Lady Norsemen got on the scoreboard
with a single run in the bottom of the second inning.
Each team added a run in
the fourth inning, making
the score 4-2 in favor of the
Lady Wildcats going into
the seventh inning.
Whitko pushed across
three runs in the top of the
seventh and then held a
Northfield rally to two runs
in the bottom of the inning
to secure the 7-4 win.
Whitko pounded out 10
hits against Northfield with
Hanna Yohe slamming a
triple, a double and a single. Whitney Marsh also
connected for a double.
Emily Hughes had a double and a triple while Kennedy Krull had a single and
a home run.

Whitko falls on walk-off homer

SOUTH WHITLEY — In
a game moved from Manchester to South Whitley
due to field conditions, a
walk-off home run gave the
Lady Squires a 7-5 win over
Whitko’s Lady Wildcats on
a cold, blustery Wednesday
afternoon.
With temperatures in
the 40s and swirling gusty
winds making balls hit to
the outfield a challenge, the
game was a see-saw affair
from the start. Whitko wasted a one-out double by Hanna Yohe in the top of the first
with a strike out and fly out.
Manchester got on the
board in the bottom of the
first, with the lead-off batter
drawing a walk and advancing all the way to score on
three wild pitch/passed ball
combinations by the Wildcats. After a fly out, Manchester third baseman Cierra
Carter drew a walk and also
scored on a Wildcat passed
ball to give the Lady Squires

3 for all: Cavaliers make record 25 threes, rout Hawks
CLEVELAND (AP) — Your shot,
Warriors.
Dropping jumpers from every
corner and angle, the Cleveland
Cavaliers drained an NBA record
25 3-pointers — the most in any
regular season or playoff game —
during a 123-98 runaway win over
the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday
night in Game 2 of their secondround series.
J.R. Smith made seven 3s as the
Cavs, looking like an Eastern Conference version of Golden State’s
Splash Brothers, had the most prolific outside shooting game of any
team in league history.
From the outset, they were on
target and on a tear, and afterward
LeBron James struggled to explain
it.
“Tonight was a special night
for all of us who played,” he said.
“This league has seen so many great
teams, so many great players and
great shooters and for us to set an
all-time record is truly special.”
James made four 3s and scored 27
points for the defending conference
champions, who were able to rest
their starters for the entire fourth
quarter. Their arms were tired.
Cleveland finished 25 of 45 behind the arc and had 10 players
make at least one 3.
Even the team’s furry mascot,
Moondog, got in on the act by making an over-the-head, backward
fling from half court on his first try
in the final minutes.
“When they put those shots
down, I don’t know if anyone can
beat them, to be honest,” said Atlanta’s Kyle Korver, one of the game’s
deadliest shooters. “We were hoping that they’d start missing at some
point.”
The Cavs never did.
They made 18 3-pointers in the
first half and added seven more
after halftime to embarrass the
Hawks, who have lost 10 straight
postseason games to Cleveland.
The Cavs spent the final few minutes chasing history and when reserve Dahntay Jones dropped the
Cavs’ 24th 3 with 2:24 left, it bet-
Hornqvist scores in OT,
Penguins beat Capitals
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Patric Hornqvist
makes a living by working in tight spaces. Given a rare moment of freedom from his usual
spot parked in front of the opponent’s net, the
Pittsburgh Penguins forward pushed the Washington Capitals to the brink of elimination.
Hornqvist fired a loose puck between Braden
Holtby’s legs 2:34 into overtime to give the Penguins a 3-2 victory Wednesday night in Game
4 of the tightly contested second-round series.
Washington’s Mike Weber tried to steer the
puck out of harm’s way in front of the net, but
it went right to Hornqvist charging in from the
right circle. The burly forward buried it for his
fifth goal of the postseason to give the Penguins
a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals.
“That’s a big win,” Hornqvist said. “Now we
have to stick with it. We haven’t done anything
yet.”
Maybe, but the Penguins can advance to
the conference final with a victory in Game 5
in Washington on Saturday after sending the
Capitals to a third straight loss. Washington
dropped three consecutive games just once
while capturing the Presidents’ Trophy for
posting the league’s best record. Now the Capitals are three periods away from an eighth playoff series loss to the Penguins in nine all-time
postseason meetings.
“We have to have the mentality shift by shift,
period by period, try to turn it around,” said
Washington captain Alex Ovechkin, who had
seven of his team’s 36 shots but was held without a point.
The Penguins survived despite missing defenseman Kris Letang, serving a one-game suspension for an illegal hit on Marcus Johansson
in Game 3. The makeshift group at the blue
line that included Brian Dumoulin and Justin
Schultz played just fine in the absence of perhaps Pittsburgh’s most indispensable player.
The Penguins blocked 14 shots and clogged the
area in front of the net to protect rookie goaltender Matt Murray.
“It wasn’t a perfect game by any stretch but
we’re playing against a pretty good opponent
and Tanger’s a tough guy to replace,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “Guys had
to play more minutes, more significant roles. I
thought the group of them did a tremendous
job.”
tered the mark of 23 previously held
by Orlando (2009) and Houston
(2013). Mo Williams added another
3 for good measure.
The Warriors, who beat the Cavs
in last year’s Finals and seem to
be on a collision course with them
again, recently set the postseason
mark by making 21 3-pointers. Stephen Curry and Co. have a new bar
to aim at.
Smith made six 3-pointers in the
first half — the Cavs knocked down
seven straight during one dizzying stretch — as Cleveland built
a 38-point lead over the stunned
Hawks, who will head home for Friday’s Game 3 down 2-0 in the series
and utterly demoralized.
evening.
“We weren’t outplayed as
much as we were out positioned,” said ISMS Head
Coach Mike Cotter on the
loss.
“Our lack of attention to
our shape continually put us
in chase mode.”
The Eagles take their 8-1-1
record to Maple Creek today
for a 5 p.m. game.

LAST MATCH: ”Maria Sitjá continued her unbeaten streak, with a
6-2, 6-2 win,” said Columbia City Head Tennis Coach Brynn Homan
