Cat Show is purrfect
good time at 4-H pre-fair
By James master
Staff Writer
ARGOS — The 2015
Marshall County 4-H Fair
kicked off with its Pre-Fair
Activities June 30, July 1
and July 10-11. The Cat
Show was held on July 1 at
5:30pm. There were twelve
entries in the competition
and it was judged by Patty
Pace.
Pace grew up in the 4-H
lifestyle. Her parents were
both involved with 4-H and
she followed in their footsteps. Pace was a cat leader
in Monroe County before
moving up to Marshall
County and becoming a
judge in 1984. She’s been
judging cats ever since.
Between her and her husband, also a judge, they
cover 30-34 projects.
When asked how does
one judge a feline, Pace
said, “You start from the
head down. You take into
account the condition, well

PLYMOUTH — If road construction
incites fits of despair, get prepared as more
is coming to Plymouth.
Already scheduled as part of their summer
projects, the Plymouth Street Department is
going to begin starting milling work on
Liberty Street in front of the junior high
starting Tuesday, July 7 to shorten the width
of the street and repair the road.
“They are working right now on Liberty
Street and doing sidewalk and curb work.
It would seem they’ll be done with that
on Monday and then they are planning to
come in and mill with a milling machine

Tillman Blueberry Farms off to a busy start of the season
By lydia sheaks
CorreSpondent
LAPAZ — It’s 10 a.m. and the blue garage doors are up:
that means Tillman Blueberry Farms in Lapaz is ready for
another whirlwind day of business.
Since the farm opened June 24, customers have flooded
in, hoping to purchase the berries they need before the shop
sells out for the day.
Owners Gary and Linda Tillman and their employees are
happy to meet the constant demand from locals and travelers alike.
It’s a hectic – but also fun – job for the family.
“One thing that is new this year is the new bypass,” Kate
Tillman, who helps manage the operation with her parents,
noted in an interview Tuesday, June, 30.
The farm has probably lost some of the impulse business from travelers heading to Indianapolis on U.S. 31, for
example, since the new bypass allows motorists to bypass
the small towns of Lapaz and Lakeville. By next year she
hopes to have signs on the new highway letting people know
where to exit to get to the blueberry farm.
Business is still good, though, thanks largely to the loyal
customers who have been buying blueberries from Pertic’s
their entire lives.
“We still have a decent customer base that has been coming here forever, and that’s pretty fantastic,” Kate Tillman
said.
The Tillmans purchased the farm, which operated for

years as Pertic’s, two years ago. They are now in

Tillman, continued from front Construction, from front
their second summer selling
blueberries and blueberry
products out of the small
building facing the old U.S.
31 Highway (now South
Michigan Road).
Tillman Blueberry Farms
is open daily from 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m. or until the berries are gone, and it’s not
unusual for customers to
pull up even late in the day,
hoping to see berries still
available in the shop.
The Tillmans work every
day to maintain the blueberry plants, machine harvest the berries, sort and
box them for sale. The job
keeps the family and several teenage employees busy.
They have more berries
available this year than
last, in part because they’ve
spent the winter being
vigilant about pruning the
plants, Kate Tillman said.
Normal harvest will
last until the beginning of
August, but the Tillmans
are planning to offer frozen berries during the offseason to customers who
put their name on a mailing
list or follow their Facebook
page.
Kate Tillman also hopes
to develop her own line
of blueberry salsas, sauces – even blueberry wine
and juice. The shop sells
plan that
the shop, like eggs or fresh
vegetables.
“There’s a big demand
for local products in general right now, so we’d like
to help feed that demand,”
she said.
For now, though, the
blueberries are definitely
the priority. Keeping up
with demand is a challenge,
so it helps that the Tillmans
understand their customers
love for blueberries.
Linda Tillman joked that
everyone who works at the
farm eventually gets blue
teeth from snacking on
the berries, and they are
constantly trying out new
recipes. Her favorite is a
banana blueberry bread.
She pointed out that even
before the family bought the
blueberry farm, they were
customers– just like everyone else, hoping to share
in the fresh berry harvest
of northern Indiana while
supplies last.
Tillman Blueberry Farms
is open daily from 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m. or until sold out,
weather permitting. It is
located at 618 S. Michigan
Road in Lapaz, just north
of the U.S. 6 intersection.
For more information or to
place an order, call 574-7843331 or find Tillman’s on
Facebook.
Blueberries ride up a conveyor belt into the sorting machine at Tillman
Blueberry Farms in Lapaz.
The machine filters out
sticks and rocks and also
identifies less-than-perfect
berries.
some of these items already,
but they come from other
Indiana and Michigan berry
farms.
Kate thinks offering
more of the farm’s own
blueberry products would
be a good way to use soft
or less-than-perfect berries that are rejected when
they go through the sorting
machine.
Right now, the family’s
livestock enjoys eating the
berries that aren’t nice
enough to be offered for
sale.
Kate has even thought of
selling other local foods in
an inch and a half of asphalt,” said Street
Superintendent Jim Marquardt.
After Liberty Street, Randolph Street
between the Yellow River bridge and
Plymouth Goshen Road will be tackled next.
Liberty Street is particularly timely, as the
Niblock Construction needs to be done in
time for the start of school at the beginning
of August.
“When we address our street issues for
different pavings each year, that’s how
we pick the projects that we do,” said
Marquardt of the rating program, known as
the Pacer Manual.
“Then you go through and look at what
streets have the most traffic,” he explained
further.
Liberty Street requires more work in
terms of sidewalk and concrete work, which
has been held off for a while until this year.
Once the street is paved, striping will
occur as well as restoration to the damaged
grass.
“At the same time we can move onto
other projects through the city and have
other contracts to do other stuff,” he said.
The curb will be brought out approximately 10 feet and will bring the street to a
more normal width. The overhead flashing
light will be removed and a new stop sign
put in place, after concerns that people were
not paying attention and stopping when
they needed to.
While speed bumps had been discussed,
no city streets have them currently. Speed
bumps only present problems, especially
with ploughing the roads in winter.
The milled road will have a second life,
according to Marquardt, who says it can be
reused as milling in alleys, roadsides and
brims, and even some of the material can
go back into the machine to be used in the
paving, though this is not always the case.
“Just be patient in the work zone and
be aware of the surroundings and equipment moving around,” said Marquardt,
who couldn’t confirm future project dates at
time of printing.

Obituary
Teri Lee
July 1, 2015
CULVER — On July 1, 2015, Teri Lee went with her
Heavenly Father, with whom she was extremely close, to
Heaven and is finally at peace. She was surrounded by her
loved ones and family.
Family was the most important
thing to Teri, and everyone that
met her will testify that she made
them feel like family, she never
met a stranger. She opened up
her home and her heart to anyone
and everyone she met. She was
selfless, and would give whatever
she had to help someone in their
time of need. The amount of love
that was in her heart to give was
immeasurable.
Teri loved children and surrounded herself with children
and babies all of her life. One of Teri’s favorite things to do
was to sing to her youngest daughter, the “baby” of the
family, Samantha “Just you and me Baby”.
Teri moved to Culver many years ago and loved the
town; she raised her children here, and believed in giving
back to the community. There was no better place in the
world to Teri than Culver.
In her last years, it gave her great joy to volunteer at
Culver Elementary and help the kids with reading, decorating the rooms with the “Elves”, or watching Field Day, she
was happy to do her part to make a difference in all the
lives she touched. We think she succeeded.
Teri is survived by her husband Gene Cole, her children whom she loved with all her heart, Daniel (Zulema)
Lee, South Bend, Melissa Craig-Lee, Culver, Karen Lee,
Culver, Anna (Gabe) Kehoe, South Bend, Greg (Shea)
Lee, Culver, Mary (Jef) Gates, South Bend, Lily Lee,
Culver, Joseph Lee, Mishawaka, and Samantha Lee,
Indianapolis. Her stepchildren Trela Good, Marion, John
Cole, Culver, and Tonya (Phil) Combs, Indianapolis and
grandchildren — David Carlos, Deni Garcia, Irasema
Garcia, Jacob Lee, Zane Lee, Marshall Anderson,
Marcellus Anderson, Marquez Anderson, Joshua Barnes,
Noah Barnes, Savannah Barnes, Benjamin Lee, Leighton
Lee, Ashton Kehoe, Harper Kehoe. A great-grandchild
Noah Garcia, and many, many “Honorary Grandchildren”.
She is also survived by her mother Dorothy Holderbaum,
Allegan, Mich., and brothers Murrell Brown, Ohio, Robert
Throneberry, Michigan, and Anthony Winchester, Rhode
Island. She was preceded in death by her first husband
and lifelong friend David Lee, whom she lost a year ago
and missed terribly.
More than anything, Teri loved her grandchildren; they
were precious to her, as each one of them will always have
fond memories of their grandmother.
Visitation will be held at Odom Funeral Home, Culver
Sunday, July 5, 2015 4-8 p.m. EDT. Funeral Services will

Main Street program reviewed at
downtown revitalization meeting
By Rachael heRBeRtVaRchetto
Staff Writer
PLYMOUTH — Action is
now, according to the interested crowd that appeared
at the July 1 Downtown
Revitalization Committee
meeting.
As voiced by several
patrons at the presentation by Shae Kmicikewycz,
Indiana Main Street Program
Manager , people have been
tired of waiting for work
on the downtown to finally
come about.
Kmicikewycz stated at
the beginning of her presentation that this isn’t
Plymouth’s first rodeo
attempt at entering into the
Main Street Program, but
that multiple tries is common.
“It’s not uncommon to do
it more than once, to find all
the right pieces and people
to make the effort work,”
she said.
Main Street is a subprogram of the Office of
Country and Rural Affairs
(OCRA) and started as a
national initiative in the
early 1970s.
Thanks to efforts like shopping malls, courtesy of Main
Street Programs, downtown
businesses began to transfer
their efforts to larger shopping districts to compete,
leaving large empty spaces
where small businesses once
flourished in order to try
and survive. Upstairs apartments and homes became
empty as well.
“In 1977 it took three communities across the country, and Madison, Indiana
was one, to try the Main
Street Program [of today].
What they found was with
communities that tried the
program, it helped them
to rebuilt their downtown

“Your downtown is not
going to be the way it was

Times have changed. We
have technology, people buy
things on the internet. But it
doesn’t mean we can’t create

your community,” she said.

Babysitter tips and advice for both sides
By Rachael heRBeRt-VaRchetto
Staff Writer
MARSHALL COUNTY — Growing up means taking on
greater responsibilities, even job opportunities.
Babysitting, whether for younger siblings or for families
that request services is a big task to undertake.
Having the confidence to care for younger children and
step into the responsible role of caretaker for a brief time can
seem daunting.
But having procedures in place in the event of emergency
are just as important.
“I would say they should know CPR and First aid. It
should be a must,” recommended Sweat Pea Daycare owner
Dawn Sellers, who has had four years of experience officially with her business, and several years prior with family
and friends.
“I would also say lots and lots of patience,” she said.
Safety issues are a major factor when going into an unfamiliar place. Sitters, new to the job and veterans, should
become familiar with their surroundings with each new job
they take.
Kids should familiarize themselves with the phone or cell
number of the parents they work for, know the address, and
be able to call 9-1-1, as well as a listing of other relevant
emergency numbers and information on hand.
“[New sitters] taking ahold of the responsibility reign
need to make sure they know what to do in the case of an
emergency, and to keep an eye on [the kids],” suggested
Victoria Leazenby, a multiple-year member of the child
development program for 4H in the county.
“As a sitter, make sure that you know what [the kids] are
doing and where they’re at. If they’re swimming, make sure
you’re by the pool watching them,” she suggested.
To Sellers, the issue of keeping an eye on little ones is one
of the most important.
“The key is never to take your eye off of them. If you have
to go inside, take them with you. If you’re in the park, keep

Indiana communities succeed through this program.
Part of partnerships is
that during the design and
planning process for downtowns, funding never ends.
“Budgets start at a very
round number of zero, so
you have the city, revitalization committee, and the
chamber come together
in partnerships. We want
everyone to play in the
sandbox together and not
make mud pies but build
sand castles,” she said.
In partnership, Main
Street can support or choose
to just partner with an event
rather than take it over.
THere are also many ideas,
such as evening of wine,
roses, and jazz that takes
place in Ossian, a community of less than 2,500 who
raises over $25,000 with the
over 10 year event.
Some can be simple, such
as a chocolate walk, with
each business offering a
chocolate dessert, such as
chocolate chip cookies, hot
chocolate, or kisses, for each
patron that stops by.
“We look at what do we
already have and use cross
promotions. Can we look at
advertising opportunities?
All that comes to a promotion committee. How can
we get people shopping in
our businesses? When looking at creating an event,
we can then look and see
and say nothing happens in
March, so let’s do something
in March and evaluate our
events,” said Kmicikewycz.
Other aspects of using
Main Street Programs to
benefit the downtown will
take longer, such as economic restructuring plans, which
can utilize other groups
already there.
“Who are our natural partners? With economic restructuring, we have economic
revitalization, economic
development, PIDCO?” she
asked rhetorically.
Main Street is designed to
act as a hub that can connect
all the other groups, and
relies heavily on grassroots
movements of people from
all over the community, not
just community leaders, to
contribute.
At the end of the presentation, Kmicikewycz asked
that people sign up to
receive information and be
volunteers with the program
to start taking the action that
attendees stated they were
ready to see.
“With the city and with
the chamber, we want to see
if people are interested in
getting the ball rolling. Who
are we and what do we want
to do, and moving that forward,” she said.

those who donated food, sent flowers, gave
donations, said prayers, and to the ladies of
Grace Outreach Fellowship of Tippecanoe for
the the wonderful dinner. Also, a specific thanks
to all who came to the viewing and funeral
and sent cards.
Thanks to Deaton/Clemens Funeral Home for
taking care of all the details.

your eye on them. The key is really be diligent with keeping
your eye on them. They can get away from you quick,” said
Sellers.
Little fingers getting into outlet plugs can be remedied
with outlet covers, while medications or unsafe substances
like cleaning chemicals can be put up high out of reach, both
suggestions by Sellers.
Gates are also a good deterrent for those ambitious to try
stairs when they’re not ready.
“Kids are curious and they like to get into stuff and poke
into things where they shouldn’t go,” said Sellers.
Part of the duties of babysitting also include making sure
the kids are having fun.
“Just find out what the kids like and communicate with
the parents. Younger kids may have a detachment feeling.
Start an activity they like while mom and dad are there. If
the kid gets carried away and caught up in the moment with
the activity, the parents can slip away, and find out their
comfort zones,” said Leazenby.
But sitters too have a responsibility to stay occupied with
their charges and not be distracted.
“You have to make it fun for [the kids], but [sitters] can’t
stay on their phone or computer when they have little ones.
Sitters have to have activities that kids can relate to that is
fun for them and will keep them occupied,” said Sellers.
Above all, little kids are handful and being able to step up
to the responsibility of caring for kids as a babysitter is a big
responsibility.
“They’re little and they’re learning and everything is new
to them, so they’re going to question everything and go
try everything. You’ve got to be really patient with them,”
Sellers advised.
Some groups offer baby sitting classes that teach safety
and help to instill confidence in new sitters.
For more information, the group SafeSitters is available
and can be reached at safesitter.org or call 800-225-4089.

Calm after America’s
historic week . . .
NASHVILLE — In a riveting 24-hour period last week,
Americans saw the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirm Obamacare,
then legalize
same-sex marriage in all 50
states. A few
hours later at
the
funeral
for the murdered South
Carolina State
By
Sen. Clementa
Brian Howey
Pinckney, the
full
frontal
assault on the Confederate battle flag continued in state
capitals across Dixie and national retailers.
It was a week that changed America in ways rarely witnessed at such a rapid pace. While Congress and state legislatures remain mostly inert as the general public evolves
quickly on social issues, it was the Supreme Court and the
corporate community that decisively moved the needle.
What remains to be seen is whether this evolution folds
seamlessly into American culture, or whether this is only
the calm before various groups on the social right regroup
and prepare for other fights along other picket lines.
On Obamacare, which had faced more than 50 repeal
votes in Congress that were essentially for show, there was
disappointment expressed by Gov. Mike Pence and the
Republican congressional delegation.
U.S. Rep. Larry Bucshon, a heart surgeon from Newburgh,
observed, “While the Americans who may have lost their
health insurance because of a poorly written, flawed law are
no longer at risk of losing their subsidies, the fact remains
that millions of Americans are still without affordable insurance or proper access to the healthcare system. The Supreme
Court’s decision doesn’t change these facts.”
Gov. Pence continued to call for repeal. ”Obamacare must
be repealed and states must be given the flexibility to craft
market-based solutions focused on lowering the cost of health
care rather than growing the size of government. It now falls
to the American people to elect new leadership in Washington,
D.C., so we can repeal Obamacare and start over.”
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Holcomb said the
GOP must change tactics. “Those of us who feel that the
Affordable Care Act was the wrong answer to a national
problem just can’t continue talking about what we’re
against; we now have to present what we’re for,” said
Holcomb. “We need the federal government — the Congress
and the president — to give states the flexibility to offer
alternative solutions.”
Some observers saw the Obamacare ruling as lifting the
GOP out of a potential crisis if millions of Americans, and
180,000 Hoosiers, lost their insurance subsidies. But the
yawning hole is that in Congress, there has been no comprehensive Obamacare package presented and few attempts to
evolve the law. Or as Republican strategist Karl Rove said,
“It is imperative for every GOP candidate to present a concrete plan to replace Obamacare.”
A repeal of Obamacare would require the election of
a Republican president in 2016, and large majorities in
both Congressional chambers. Standing in the way will
be a messy Republican presidential nomination fight, and,
potentially, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The marriage ruling will likely create more showdowns in
state legislatures, including here in Indiana. Both Democrat
and Republican legislators will seek to extend civil rights
protections in the 2016 session, multiple Republican and
Statehouse sources tell me. We’ve seen a movement on this
front several Hoosier cities, but an effort in Goshen this past
week was shelved as the four Republican council majority
opposed the change.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg, who has
been criticized by Indiana LGBT groups, and Supt. Glenda
Ritz have vowed to extend the protections. Gov. Pence has
consistently said such a move is “not on my agenda” even
though the Howey Politics Indiana Poll in April and a second by Bellwether Research (which conducted the HPI Poll)
last month showed support at 54 percent in opposition in
the lower 30th percentile. So there are demonstrable political risks for the GOP.
While some celebrate the marriage law changes, the
various family advocacy groups are reassessing and turning
their attention to what they perceive as an encroachment on
1st Amendment religious liberties.
The Indiana Family Institute’s Ryan McCann posted,
“(Justice Anthony) Kennedy defines same-sex marriage as a
‘fundamental right,’ which is what allows the court to overturn the vast majority of state laws, and further prevents
states from rejecting marital benefits to everyone equally (if
you have a right to a marriage certificate, you have a right
to marriage). That redefinition will also allow the court to
overturn the 1st Amendment protections of freedom of religion. As we have been arguing for years, as goes marriage
so goes religious liberty.”
U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, a Republican candidate
for U.S. Senate, explained after the marriage decision,
“Following this ruling, it is critically important that religious freedom is defended and that our constitutional right
to live and work according to our own beliefs remains fundamental and unchanged.”
A potential Senate race rival, State Sen. Mike Delph of
Carmel who had been very animated on Twitter in previous
legislative showdowns over the marriage issue, made one
Tweet last Saturday: “In matters of style, swim with the current, in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
Whether being a rock becomes the party’s impenetrable
Gibraltar, or one at the river’s bottom creating foam and
riptides remains to be seen.
The howey
PoliTical
rePorT
It all began with . . .
‘When in the course of
human events . . .’
S
o began the Declaration of Independence 239
years ago and a new nation was born — an
independent nation, separate and distinct from
its parent nation. I just couldn’t let this significant holiday go by without some mention in
my column. I still think there are too many people that take
this holiday for granted and don’t know all of the sacrifices
that our forefathers took to make us an independent nation.
The Declaration of Independence was a statement adopted
by the Continental Congress and became a reality 239 years
ago. A new nation was born — an independent nation,
separate and distinct from its parent nation. Every year
since, people in the United States celebrate that event.
We now enjoy essential freedoms that many other countries don’t have — like: freedom of religion, freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly and freedom from want. We
also have the freedom to vote to elect our chief executive.
Let us not forget what those patriots went through to get
our independence.
It took some time after the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 2, 1776 until it
was finally approved by the Continental Congress, setting
the 13 colonies free as a sovereign nation. OK — if it was
signed on July 2 why then do we celebrate on July 4? Well if
you take a good look at the Declaration of Independence
— right at the very top is the date July 4th, 1776.
However you might like to know that only two people,
John Hancock from Massachusetts and Charles Thompson,
who was the secretary of the Continental Congress, ex officio, signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4. Most
of the rest signed it on Aug. 2 and the last signature was
added in 1781 — five years later. This fact is little known.
Did you know? . . . Independence Day was first
observed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776 and not until 1941
did Congress declare July 4 as a legal federal holiday. I
guess that was because of the date at the top of the
Declaration of Independence read — July 4, 1776.
SOME FACTS ABOUT THE SIGNERS
There were 56 men who were elected delegates and one
ex officio secretary, signed the Declaration of Independence.
Have you ever wondered what happened to them? Well,
here are some of the things that happened to some of the
men who signed:
• Five were captured by the British as traitors. They
were tortured before they died.
• Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
• Two lost their sons during the Revolutionary War,
another had two sons captured.
• Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary war.
All of the men who signed the Declaration of
Independence pledged their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor. Don’t tell me that independence comes easy.
These brave and foresighted men knew what they were
doing and by golly we must always remember the sacrifices
they gave for US.
I want us all to remember the brave men and women
who are still defending our freedom anywhere in this
world. Please say a prayer for them — they need it!
Now that that is settled you might want to know what
My View FroM The
PiloT house
By Mike Boys
Pilot news Consultant
John Adams, second president of the United States, and one
of the founding fathers, said as to how to celebrate July 4.
As always — all across the country — America’s 239th
birthday party will be celebrated with barbecues, parades,
fireworks, red, white and blue cakes and cookies or just
another weekend off work. John Adams had a strong feeling about Independence Day as he and his co-patriots
risked everything to give us our freedom. John Adams
stated: “. . . it ought to be commemorated as a day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It
ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from
one end of this continent to the other.” There you have it
folks. Go and celebrate!
I don’t know about you . . . but whenever I hear “The
Star Spangled Banner” or the “Stars and Stripes Forever” I
get “goose bumps”. I will stand at attention and, yes, I even
salute. I do it in remembrance and respect for all of those
men and women who have served and defended and those
that are still serving and defending our country.
A PILOT HOUSE MOMENT: Let’s all take a few
moments on this Fourth of July holiday weekend to silently
remember and appreciate those patriots and thank God
who inspired them. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for
the price they paid. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
HAVE A GREAT FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND and
MAY GOD BLESS

Therapeutic Recreation Month
State Climate Office:
Indiana rains set record
for month of June
WEST LAFAYETTE — Indiana set a record for rainfall in
the month of June, with a state average of 9.03 inches, the
Indiana State Climate Office said Wednesday. June also was
the fourth-wettest
of any month on
record since 1895.
The rainfall surpassed the previous June record
of 8.13 inches set in
1958. The climate office, based at Purdue University, said
nearly all parts of Indiana received above-normal rainfall.
Normal rainfall ranges from 4.1 inches to 4.3 inches across
the state.
The heaviest rain totals generally were in a west-to-east
band stretching from Newton to Adams counties across
northern Indiana. A rainfall monitoring station in Rensselaer
in Jasper County had the most rain — 18.06 inches. Two
locations in Newton County had more than 17 inches.
During the entire month there were only four days when
it did not rain somewhere in Indiana. On seven days, some
areas had more than 4 inches.
The rain has exacted a heavy toll on crops planted in the
spring, flooding fields in many areas of the state — especially in the north — and keeping the young corn and soybean plants under water for days on end. Purdue Extension
agricultural economist Chris Hurt said this week the value
of the crops already could have declined by $475 million
because of the damage.
Not all areas of Indiana received heavy rainfall in the
same weeks:
• June 1-7 was generally dry across most of the state.
• June 8-16: When high pressure blocked storms from
moving normally across southeast states, storm systems
passed through a narrow corridor in northern Indiana to
reach the Atlantic Coast, funneling large rain amounts to
that part of the state.
• June 19-20: The remnants of Tropical Storm Bill carried
heavy rain across the southern half of Indiana, which was
largely missed earlier in the month.
• June 22-30: A fast jet stream across the northern tier of
the United States set the stage for more wet, stormy weather
across all of Indiana as fronts stalled here.
Only three other months are on record as wetter in
Indiana: January 1950, with 10.11 inches; April 2011, with
9.61 inches; and January 1937, with 9.23 inches.
The climate office said Indiana’s July forecast calls for
more of the same: above-normal precipitation and cool temperatures. It said the cooler temperatures should help limit
the extreme downpours.
PLYMOUTH — July is
Therapeutic
Recreation
Month. To celebrate Fitness
Forum is inviting all of its
friends in special education
to share in an evening of
fun and fellowship from
6:30-8 p.m. Friday, July 10.

climb the rock wall, run or
ride the track, tackle the
obstacle course, spend time
in the pool, or participate in
drumming, dance, art, and
gym activities. The pool,
gym, classrooms, and track
are handicapped accessible.
“Because of the success of
last year’s event at Fitness
Forum for special children
challenged with a disability, we are again hosting a
free evening of fun,” said
physical therapist Mary
Holm, owner and general
manager of Fitness Forum.
“There is no age limit to
participate this year. Last
year we focused on children
but this year children and
adults can enjoy this time of
activity together. We’ve also
expanded the type of activities to include music, dance,
and art. Be prepared to have
lots of fun and experience
something new.”

Strong pitching keys Diamond Spyders
Triton
to pair of victories to open Patriot Tourney golfers make good
showing as MCJGT
stops at Swan Lake
By Doug griffiths
Staff Writer
PLYMOUTH — Behind
the pitching of Pedro Lopez
and some timely hitting,
Plymouth Post 27 beat
Valparaiso Post 94/170 4-1
on Thursday at Bill Nixon
Field.
Lopez went five innings
and allowed just three hits,
while striking out two and
walking three.
“Pedro started off a little
shaky but got his feet underneath him and did a good
job,” Post 27 head coach Will
Hostrawser said.
Lopez got all the run support he and the Diamond
Spyders would need in the
top of the fifth.
Post 27 snapped a 1-1 tie
by scoring twice in the frame
thanks to just one hit and an
error.
Second baseman Drew
McDonald started things off
with a one-out single and
centerfielder Tyler LaFollette
and right fielder Zach Witt
followed with walks.
Then
first
baseman
Spencer Mae-Croft got
credited for an RBI as he
reached on an error by second baseman Scott Trojen
and McDonald scored.
Third baseman Braydon
Davidson followed by driving in LaFollette by reaching
on a fielder’s choice.
Post 27 led 3-1 and
could’ve done a lot more
damage but failed to get a
two-out hit with the bases
loaded.
Bryce Bustamante came
on in relief of Lopez to pitch
the final two innings. He
gave up a pair of singles,
while striking out two.
“Bryce came in and kept
them off stride,” Hostrawser
explained. “He did a nice job
for us as well.”
Hostrawser was also
pleased that his club made
PLYMOUTH — Triton golfers won three different divisions as the Marshall County Junior Golf Tour stopped off
at Swan Lake on Thursday.
Greg Music won the boys 16-17 division, Isaac Wall was
the boys 14-15 winner, and Cole McKinney topped the
boys 12-13 leaderboard.
Music’s 87 edged out LaVille golfer Michael Butler’s second-place score by one stroke, while Rochester’s Jackson
Sawyer finished in third place with an 89. LaVille’s Dakota
Figg and Kyle Schafer tied for fourth with dual 90s.
Wall carded 88 to win his division, while Beau Hepler of
Bourbon shot 92 for second, and LaVille’s Nate NicholsPeterson was third a stroke behind Hepler.
McKinney’s 40 beat out Tippecanoe Valley golfer Cade
Brouyette by two strokes while Plymouth’s Andrew
Himes and Nic Bagley were third and fourth with respective scores of 49 and 50.
Meanwhile, in the boys 10-11 division, Braedon Wadkins
topped the field with a 26. Triton’s Chandler Westafer and
Gavin Butler carded 29 and 31, respectively for second and
third place.
Grant Wadkins won the boys 8-9 competition with a 26
followed by Brice Hoover of Plymouth’s 33. Wes Parker of
Tippy Valley was third with a score of 35.
In the girls’ competition, Penn’s Andi Sandler won top
honors in the 15-17 age group with an 82. CGA’s Lauren
Read followed her with an 86, and NorthWood’s Summer
Stillson was third with a score of 90.
NorthWood golfers swept the top three spots in the girls
12-14 division as MacKenzie Weaver shot 45, Cybil Stillson
carded 58, and Abby Slabaugh turned in a 62.
Rochester golfers went one and two in the girls 8-11
division. Emma Howdeshell shot 34, and Ava Thomas
finished a stroke back to tie for second with Mentone’s
Madelyn Weaver.

Bremen’s Pedro Lopez delivers a pitch during the fifth inning of Plymouth Post 27’s Patriot
Tournament game with Valparaiso Post 94/ 170 Thursday.
Valparaiso earn anything it
got.
“In a wooden bat tournament you’ve got to throw
strikes,” said Hostrawser,
whose team walked three
batters. “You’ve got to make
them hit the ball. Wood will
show your flaws hitting real
quick so it’s kind of fun. I
enjoy playing these types of
games.”
The Diamond Spyders
added an insurance run in
the top of the sixth.
Shortstop Justin Oberlin
scored on a sacrifice fly to
center by LaFollette.
“We had some timely hits
and I thought we ran the
bases well,” Hostrawser
said.
Hostrawser’s club also
flashed some leather.
In particular, Davidson
made a nice diving stop at
the hot corner on a ground
ball to throw out a would-be
base runner and helped start
a third-inning double play.

Rafael Nadal loses
early at Wimbledon
LONDON (AP) — On the final point of the first set of his
latest Wimbledon disappointment, Rafael Nadal swung his
mighty, lefty forehand — and whiffed, accidentally whacking his right leg with his racket.
It was a painful, embarrassing mistake, symbolic of the
sort of day this was.
During five trips to the All England Club from 200611, Nadal reached the final every time. In his most recent
four appearances, though, Nadal has exited early against
an unheralded, unaccomplished and, most importantly,
unafraid opponent ranked 100th or worse. On Thursday,
Nadal lost 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the second round to Dustin
Brown, who needed to qualify just to enter the main draw.
“It’s not the end,” Nadal said. “(It’s) a sad moment for me
... but life continues. My career, too.”
Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle and coach, summed up the
Centre Court match this way: “He played really bad. Bad
shots. Very bad with his forehand.”
All true. But give credit to Brown and his varied, risky
and entertaining brand of tennis, a mix of old-school
serve-and-volleying, drop shots, drop volleys and go-for-it
returns.
“I had nothing to lose. If I lose 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, everyone says
‘Bravo, Rafa,’” Brown said.
The 30-year-old Brown was born in Germany to a
Jamaican father — whose face is tattooed on Brown’s stomach — and German mother. They moved to Jamaica when
he was 12 and returned to Europe about a decade ago.
Around that time, his parents bought him an RV so he could
drive from tournament to tournament.
Who could have imagined this sort of triumph back then?
Or, frankly, even now?
After all, Brown is ranked 102nd, entered Thursday with
a 6-11 record in 2015 and has never been past the third
round at a major.
Nadal, meanwhile, is a former No. 1 and the owner of 14
major titles, tied with Pete Sampras for second-most behind
Roger Federer’s 17.
Federer joined Andy Murray and Petra Kvitova as
past Wimbledon champions picking up straightforward,
straight-set victories Thursday. Federer’s 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 win
over Sam Querrey of the U.S. included one particularly
memorable moment — an on-the-run, between-the-legs lob.
“You want to go over and give him a high-five sometimes,” Querrey said, “but you can’t do that.”
Nadal used to leave opponents feeling that way, too. Not
lately. He missed time last season with a right wrist injury,
then needed appendix surgery, and has spoken about con-

NEW YORK (AP) — The United
States’ win over Germany is the mostwatched men’s or women’s World Cup
semifinal ever on American television.
The 2-0 victory by the second-ranked
U.S. over the No. 1 Germans on Tuesday
night averaged 8.4 million viewers on
Fox. The network said the previous
high was 5.9 million for the 2006 men’s
semifinal between Germany and Italy.
The audience was up 47 percent
from the 5.7 million for the Americans’
quarterfinal against China on Friday
night. And it was more than double the
3.4 million for the Americans’ semifinal in 2011, which was played during
the day in the U.S. with the tournament in Germany.

that kind of stuff, it just kind
of puts you at ease so you
can settle down and control
your adrenaline a little bit
so you can hit your spots
a little bit better and that’s
what happened today,”
Hostrawser said.
Valparaiso stranded a pair
of runners in each of the
fifth and sixth innings.
Valparaiso had runners on
second and third with one
out in the fifth but didn’t
score. The next inning it had
runners on first and second
with two outs, but failed to
get a key hit.
Post 27 started the scoring
in the top of the first when
leadoff man David Bacon
singled and scored on Witt’s
base hit.
Valparaiso tied the game
at 1 in the bottom of the first
when R.J. Snyder walked to
lead the frame off and scored
on Corey Holderread’s single.
McDonald and Witt each
had a pair of hits for the
Diamond Spyders.
Jake Sutton had two of
Valparaiso’s five hits.

He went the distance,

a pair of hits.
“Braydon threw a gem
this morning,” Hostrawser

defense behind him.”
Post 27 didn’t exactly hit

The Diamond Spyders

against Cam Gordon, but
they scored once in the third

fidence issues.
After his run of five consecutive French Open titles
ended last month with a
quarterfinal loss to Novak
Djokovic, Nadal’s ranking
dropped to 10th, his worst
in 10 years.
Now he has failed to win
any of his past four major
tournaments, not even
reaching the semifinals. It’s
the 29-year-old Spaniard’s
longest drought since the
first five Slams of his career.
Consider, too, Nadal’s history at Wimbledon. He lost
to Federer in the 2006 and
2007 finals, then beat him
9-7 in the fifth set of the epic
2008 final. After missing the
2009 tournament because
of injury, Nadal collected
another trophy in 2010, then
lost to Djokovic in the 2011
final.
“I don’t know if I will be
back to (that) level,” Nadal
acknowledged.
In 2012, he lost to No. 100
Lukas Rosol in the second
round. In 2013, he lost to
No. 135 Steve Darcis in the
first. And last year, he lost
to No. 144 Nick Kyrgios in
the fourth.
Like those guys, Brown
played wonderfully. His
back-length
dreadlocks
jumping around as he raced
to the net, Brown serve-andvolleyed on 99 of 114 service
points, winning 71 of those.
He hit serves at up to 133
mph (215 kph).
“Whatever I do is to
take him out of his comfort
zone,” Brown said.
Most importantly, he
never let up.
“I’m very happy that
I held it together for the
whole match,” said Brown,
who also beat Nadal on
grass in Germany last year.
This match turned for
good at 2-all in the third
set, when Nadal’s pair of
double-faults handed over a
break point that Brown con-
verted with a drop-volley
winner. Brown looked up at
his guest box, where folks
were jumping and yelling
and fist-pumping wildly.
At least Nadal, who never
earned a break chance over
the last two sets, was able to
joke afterward.
When a reporter asked
whether he would stick
around at his rented place
before heading home, Nadal
replied: “I don’t have more
work here in London, so if
you want to use the house,
(it’s) going to be free tomorrow.”

Work toward your own
financial Independence Day
It’s almost the Fourth of July — time
for fireworks, picnics and a reflection on all the liberties we possess in
this country. But if you’re going to
enjoy the freedom to do the things you
want, especially during your retirement years, you’ll want to take the
steps necessary to achieve your own
“Financial Independence Day.”
Here are a few suggestions for helping you reach that goal:
• Liberate yourself from debt. For
most of us, a certain amount of debt
is unavoidable. But the greater control
you can gain over your debts, the better off you will be, because any dollars
not spent in paying debts can be used
to save and invest for your future. So
look for ways to cut down on your
spending and think about postponing
some purchases until you can pay for
them in cash. It may not be easy, but it’s
possible. And by putting this “found
money” to work immediately in quality
investments, you may motivate yourself to keep a lid on your debt level.
• Unlock the power of time. Albert
Einstein once said, “The most powerful force in the universe is compound
interest.” Einstein, who knew a thing
or two about the nature of time, clearly
recognized its importance in investing. In fact, as an investor, time may
be your greatest ally. The more years

Wilson

Plymouth
in which you invest, the more dollars
you’ll put in, and the longer you’ll
have for your investments to potentially grow. Even if you’re just starting
out in your career and can only invest
a small amount each month, you’ll
be starting to accumulate the amount
you’ll eventually need to enjoy the
retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.
• Release your investments’ growth
potential. To attain financial freedom
during your retirement years, you
will need to invest for growth — it’s
that simple. So include an appropriate amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your overall investment mix.
Ultimately, this mix should be based
on your risk tolerance, time horizon
and specific long-term goals.
• Free your investments from “clustering.” In the investment world, as
in many other arenas of life, you can
have “too much of a good thing.”
For example, if you own a particular
investment, such as a stock, that has
done well, you might think that it’s
a good idea to own more of the same
type of stock. But when investing,
duplication can be dangerous, because
if a market downturn affects one asset
class particularly hard, and much of
your portfolio is tied up in that asset
class, you could take a big hit. Instead
of “clustering” your dollars around a
single asset or two, you could diversify your holdings by owning a mix of
stocks, bonds, government securities
and other vehicles. While diversification can potentially help you reduce
the impact of volatility on your holdings, a diversified portfolio can’t guarantee a profit or protect you from loss.
Achieving any type of freedom, in
any kind of endeavor, takes time and
effort. That’s certainly the case with
financial freedom— you will need to
consistently make the right moves,
over a period of many years, before
you can finally declare your fiscal
independence. But once you reach that
point, you will likely conclude that
your diligence and dedication were
well worth it.

Trusts under will
In the parable of the prodigal son,
the younger boy asks his father for his
share of the family’s property. When
the father gives him the property, the
boy sells it, takes the money, travels to another country, and squanders
everything. He eventually finds himself starving in a foreign land, taking
care of pigs who are better fed than he
is. At this point, the boy finally realizes
his mistake and returns home to beg
forgiveness from his father.
Like many parables, this story shows
us the unfortunate experience of another, one that we can hopefully avoid in
our own lives. And while many readers choose to focus on what the child
learned, the parent learned a valuable
lesson as well: It’s not always wise
to give assets to one who is young or
inexperienced in financial affairs. Yet,
many parents do just that when they
die without providing for the management of their assets.
A trust under will — or a “testamentary trust,” in legal parlance — can
help your heirs avoid financial disaster
after you’re gone. All you have to do
create the trust in your will and name
a trustee to carry out the directions
you’ve set forth. Your trustee can then
manage your assets for your heirs and
distribute trust income and principal
according to your guidelines.
One of the great advantages of such
a trust is that it can be as flexible as

you wish to make it. You can give your
trustee (or even a beneficiary) the discretionary power to invade the trust
principal in the event of an emergency,
for a child or grandchild’s education,
or for any other reason you might
establish. In addition, you can also use
a trust under will to make charitable
gifts or to reduce the probate expenses
and the federal estate taxes that might
otherwise be incurred by the estates of
your beneficiaries.
And even if you’re not concerned
about your spouse, your children, or
other heirs squandering their inheritance, you can still use a trust under
will to remove the administrative and
investment burdens of asset management from their shoulders. When you
name us, for instance, as trustee or
co-trustee of your trust under will, you
not only secure our professional knowhow and experience, but we also per-

July Fourth ‘The Undertaker’s Wife’ review
By John W . Vander Velden
In a grand building, beneath a heavy layer of glass,
remains a deeply yellowed page of parchment. The writing scarcely legible of words many would find familiar. A
page that changed the way the world functioned…a page
that changed how a people would react to tyranny. July 2,
1776 fifty-six representatives of thirteen separate organizations signed a statement…a joint commitment to what
at that time was an ongoing war…a joint commitment to
a severing of ties…a joint commitment to something new.
We call those words…those words of faded ink on yellowed paper the Declaration of Independence. And today
we celebrate the announcement of those daring words
and the birth of the nation we call our home.
Two hundred and thirty-nine years ago after much
heated debate Edward Rutledge at twenty-six and
Benjamin Franklin who had reached seventy, along with
the fifty-four, aged the years between, placed their names
on paper. All knew that day, if the war would be lost, they
had signed their own death certificate, yet they signed. All
understood that no matter how just the cause, success was
tentative, yet they signed.
But those names are but tiniest minority of the thousands
that laid their all at the feet of their country yet unformed.
They, the invisible masses, those that fought…bleed…and
died, bore the burden; theirs the labor pains of this country’s birth. Our country owes these, a debt that remains
unpaid. We that have received the benefit of their sacrifice
should not forget the courage or the blood poured.
So while the firework fills the sky, with thunderous
booms and grand bursts of color, take a moment to consider a document on display at the National Archives.
Consider the names carefully scribed upon it. Consider
the thousands that gave their all for something that was
then only a dream. Consider the millions that also gave
and continue to give their blood to maintain that dream,
for though that dream has yet to reach perfection the duty
for its growth lies with us. It remains on our shoulders to
carry on…to accept the challenge…to fulfill grand possibilities. It is a cause worthy of our effort and something
worth celebrating!
Abraham Lincoln
stops at Miller’s
PLYMOUTH — Abraham Lincoln was born Feb. 12, 1809
in Kentucky, which was a slave state. His parents hated
living in a slave state. After Indiana became a state in
December 1816 it took Lincoln’s family two weeks to move
the 17 miles across the Ohio River into Spencer County.
Thus began the narrative of actor Danny Russel’s tribute to Abraham Lincoln: Log Cabin to the White House.
Russel is a lifetime member of the Association of Lincoln
Presenters. Lincoln is a fascinating and important figure in
early Indiana and American history.
Russel’s portrayal was full of humorous one-liners that
are authentic Lincoln quips. The story is also full of pathos
as he speaks of the heartbreaking emotions surrounding
the deaths or family members and the tragedy of the Civil
War. Russel ended his program with stirring renditions of
the Gettysburg Address and portions of Lincoln’s Second
Inaugural Address.
Russel will return to Miller’s in October when he will pay
tribute to Indiana author James Whitcomb Riley. For more

It’s supposed to go like this:
You are born, you grow up, graduate
from high school, then college. You fall
in love, get married, have two-pointfive children and a mortgage with a

you die. It’s supposed to be like that.

Dee Oliver was destined to marry a
wealthy doctor.
That’s what she thought, growing up
in Virginia Beach. Doctors had money,
and who doesn’t appreciate money?
Plus, they were good with that in-sickness-and-in-health stuff, and Oliver
was not. A doctor, she decided, would
be a perfect husband.
And that was the plan — until Oliver
met Johnnie.
He was an older (35-year-old) man,
handsome and charming. He was also
a funeral director and on their first
date, he was on-call — which meant
that before they reached their destination, they had to retrieve a corpse
which accompanied them on their evening.
Still, Oliver fell in love and, though
their early romance was on-again-offagain, she married Johnnie, birthed
three children, and they lived happily
ever after.
Almost.
When Johnnie suddenly had a stroke
and died, Oliver wasn’t sure what to
do. She’d only ever been an undertaker’s wife and a mother, so she prayed
about her dilemma — and then she

desk. God and Johnnie, she figured,
were sending a message. She returned
to school, got good grades, and eagerly
anticipated her internship.
And that, she thought, would naturally be done at Johnnie’s family’s
funeral home. Why not? She loved
the staff, understood procedures, and
knew the clientele — but Johnnie’s
brother, the business’ new CEO, inexplicably sent Oliver packing. None of
his nearest competitors would hire her,
either.
And so, with temporary license in
hand and three daughters to feed,
Oliver became “a widowed (Southern)
white socialite working in an all-black
funeral home in a most definitely allblack neighborhood…”
Oh, how I loved this book. And oh,
how I hated it.
First of all, you can throw out
every stereotype you’ve ever heard
about funeral homes: there’s nothing
at all morbid or stuffy inside “The
Undertaker’s Wife.”
Author Dee Oliver (with Jodie
Berndt) made me laugh again and
again, in fact, and I was completely
captivated by her amazement at the
turns her neatly-planned life took.
There’s so much charm here, so much
gratitude, and a much-needed change
of heart and race-based attitude inside
an unusual story.
And yet, there’s the irritation. Oliver

of cliffs and with no apologies, which
almost made me regret this book —
almost, but not enough to say it’s not
worth reading, because it definitely is.
So look for it and hold the growls.
Instead, do what I’m doing: wait for

how it’s supposed to be.

As one would expect, the
July 4 recital will include
several patriotic selections, along with compositions for carillon written
by Americans. (Fortunately,
there is a fine and growing body of American carillon music.) Patriotic selections will include the StarSpangled Banner; America,
the Beautiful; America, and
Columbia, the Gem of the

music will be represented
by the African-American
spiritual “Nobody Knows
the Trouble I’ve Seen” and
by an extensive set of variations on the Appalachian

Cognitive activity improves exercise
Dustin
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D.,
AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
When British freestyle unicycle champion (2010-2013)
Sam Goodburn juggles five
pins and rides his unicycle
across a tightrope, you know
you’re seeing multitasking at
its highest level. But for more
down-to-earth sorts (like us)
the idea of riding even a
stationary bike and juggling
or counting backward seems
likely to slow us down so
that neither pedaling nor
counting would proceed
very efficiently.
But that’s not always what
happens, and it even surprised researchers at the
University of Florida who
asked older folks to do cognitive tasks such as repeating lists of numbers in
Blondie
reverse order while riding
a stationary bike. The scientists assumed that doing
two things at once would
impair both functions. But
they found that stationary bicycle speeds actually
increased when people were
given simple tasks to do
while pedaling.
True, as the brain games
got tougher, the volunteers
slowed down. The double
demand did start to impinge
on the amount of attention
they could give each task.
But the senior pedalers still
were going faster than before
they started the cognitive
exercise. How is that possible? Researchers speculate that the brain’s reward
system (dopamine) became
activated when dual tasks
were accomplished. That
pleasure spurred folks on to
do more. We’ve known that
exercise improves cognitive
ability, but does this suggest
that cognitive activity can
improve exercise?
One note of caution: The
findings don’t mean that texting and driving or biking
with headphones is a smart
or safe move, ever! The stationary-bike study was done
in a controlled environment,
where it was nearly impossible to get injured.

DEAR ABBY: Three months ago, my sister “Diane” said she would like to get the
family together for some professional family photos. The photographer she chose
was available only on one particular day.
Unfortunately, my husband couldn’t get off
from work that day.
Diane then suggested we take the pictures
without him. I said it was inappropriate and
refused. When I asked if we could use a
different photographer at another time, my
sister told me to forget the whole thing.
Today I was visiting my parents and I saw
the family photos — taken without me, my
husband and our child. I had no idea they
had gone ahead and taken the pictures without us. I am angry and hurt. I’m especially
mad at my mom because she knew how
bothered I was that Diane suggested excluding my husband.
Am I justified in feeling this way? Should
they have waited until the whole family was
able to get together? Or should I suck it up
and not expect everyone to accommodate
my husband’s work schedule? — OUT OF

PICKS OF THE WEEK
“The Second Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel” (PG) — In this sequel to the story
of a group of Brit seniors finding a second
act in India, things pick up a few months
after the first movie left off, and our band of
lovable retirees have been adjusting to new
lives. Muriel (Maggie Smith) is helping the
young hotel manager, Sonny (Dev Patel),
with the business. The others (Billy Nighy,
Judi Dench, Celia Imrie) paddle into their
own romantic situations, all set to the beat
of preparations for Sonny’s upcoming traditional Indian wedding.
It’s sweet, predictable, easygoing and
affectionately held together by the cluster of
stars at the center. Instead of the surprising
charm of the first, we get the warm familiarity of an OK sequel, which shouldn’t deter
fans of the first. If you can sit through two
good episodes of “Downton Abbey” without getting restless, then you can probably
handle a stay at this hotel.

on her synthetic body, but the real question is if she has real feelings in whatever
approximates her heart. A young programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) is brought to an
enigmatic CEO’s (Oscar Isaac) mountain
hideaway to be the final piece of the test
— he will have regular meetings with Ava
to see just how well her simulated intellect
and emotions hold up to human interaction.
This is only the shiny chrome surface of the
story, with many intriguing and unexpected
emotional machinations beneath.
Written and directed by Alex Garland
(writer of “Sunshine” and “28 Days Later”),
the film shows that Garland has fine-tuned
his knack for plugging deep into humanity in the confines of a claustrophobic sci-fi
thriller. The plot, themes, questions and
ideas all go well beyond “guy has weird
feelings for a robot that also might have
feelings.”
****
“Paul Blart 2” (PG) — After triumphing
over a gang of skaters threatening his shopping mall, the titular portly mall cop (Kevin
James) returns for another allegedly wacky
misadventure as a miscast action hero in
an unlikely plot. When Paul brings his teen
daughter (Raini Rodriguez) to a security
convention in Las Vegas, he finds himself
as the bumbling Die Hard-er in an art heist
run by a maniac (Neal McDonough), who
forces out a few of the films scarce laughs.
The movie squeaks by with a few cheap
chuckles and a lot of duds.
****
“It Follows” (R) — This is the horror-movie premise that keeps teen-slashing psychos
up at night with anxiety. Nineteen-year-old
Jay (Maika Monroe) contracts a strange
and terrible condition after getting intimate
with her boyfriend — she’s told that now
there’s something after her, something that
won’t stop until she’s dead or she passes
it on to somebody else. Any stranger in a
crowd could be it. When anybody — known
or unknown — starts walking toward her
with a fixed expression, it’s time to run. It’s
bone-chillingly scary, uncomplicated and
celebrated by horror fans for its smart grasp
on genre conventions..

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Must Hummingbirds See Red?
Dear Heloise: I know you
have written about HUMMINGBIRDS, and I have
a question: Is it necessary
that the nectar be red?
I have seen it sold both
ways. -- Kayla, via email.
No, it’s not necessary to
have red nectar, whether
commercial or homemade. More and more evidence is showing that red food coloring is harmful to hummers. Most hummingbird feeders have
red parts, and hummers are attracted to red. The
nectar from flowers is mostly clear, so the little
dive bombers are used to clear nectar. Why take a
chance of harming a hummingbird?
Hummer food is easy to make. Use
1/4 cup of regular white sugar for 1 cup of water.
Some folks shake the container until the sugar is
dissolved; others add some hot water to the sugar
to dissolve it, then to the whole batch.
Most importantly, hummingbird feeders need to be cleaned often, especially if they are
placed in a hot or direct-sunlight location. The
“sugar water” solution can look dirty pretty fast
and even start growing bacteria.
Every few days, empty the feeder and
clean it out with ONLY hot water and a bottle
brush.
DO NOT USE dish soap. Scrub well,
fill with water, shake, scrub again, shake, then one
more rinse. That’s it! -- Heloise
P.S.: There is a feeder right outside
the sunroom window where I am writing this column right now. Seeing these supersonic birds just
makes me smile! They do sound like jets when
buzzing overhead.

TRAVEL HINT
Dear Heloise: I always keep one or
two binder clips in my luggage. They are stronger
than hair clips. I use them to keep the hotel drapes
closed. Less light helps me get a good night’s
sleep. -- A Reader in San Antonio
NOTES FOR HOUSE
Dear Heloise: In the “notes” section
of my smartphone, I started a list of things I need
around the house. It includes the size of air filter,
the ink-cartridge number and brand for the printer,
the type of water-softener pellets, etc. I always
have the information I need handy and don’t have
to worry about buying the wrong thing! -- Deanne,
via email
DOUBLE-SIDED PRINTING
Dear Heloise: I sometimes have to
print documents double-sided. I always forget
which way to put the paper in so it prints the right
way. The last time, I wrote the information down
on a sticky note and taped it to the printer. Now the
next time I need to do this task, I won’t waste time
figuring out which way the paper goes. -- Suzanne,
via email
PORTION CONTROL
Dear Heloise: I have been reading your
column for years and enjoy all the helpful hints
you share. Here is one for those, like me, who
struggle to diet and cut back on eating: When you
are trying to diet, use the snack baggies to pack a
snack or your lunch. This really helps control portions. -- Valerie H., Flint, Texas

Come — worship Sunday at FUMC
PLYMOUTH — Let us renew our efforts to attend church
this Sunday. The Lord will appreciate that — and you will
feel better too. Organist Kay Finlay will play “One Nation
Under God” for the prelude and “This is My Native Land”
for the offertory. The congregation will be singing “Nothing
But The Blood” for the opening hymn and “Marching To
Zion” for the closing hymn.
Cindy Flagg will give the children’s message. Holy
Communion will be served at the rail.
Rev. Larry Marhanka’s message at both services is titled
“Chickens with eye glasses” using the text 2 Corinthians
12:7-10.
The First United Methodist Church has services at 8 a.m.
and at 10:30 a.m. The church is handicapped accessible.
Thomas Boys is pianist for the 8 a.m. service. The First
United Methodist Church’s mission statement: “Love God,
Love Others, Serve Others”.
In case you miss the service and/or if you would like to
review, you can view and listen on Facebook at www.facebook.com/plymouthfumc.
‘The Well’ is there for you
PLYMOUTH — Attend “The Well” at 5 p.m. for your soul
this Sunday where you will hear inspirational music provided by “The Well Band” under the direction of Thomas
Boys and a soul warming message by Cindy Flagg that will
inspire you as we worship in a comfortable atmosphere.
Flagg’s message is titled “If My People” using the text
II Chronicles 7:14. Special vocal music will be provided by
Brad Beatty, and Sheila Beers will have a piano solo titled
“America The Beautiful”. Holy Communion will be served.
Make “The Well” a part of your Christian experience each
Sunday as we worship together. Everyone is always welcome and it is handicapped accessible.
More information about The Well is available on the website www.meetmeatthewell.net.
“The Well” is situated on Adams Street just behind the
First United Methodist Church. We are looking forward to
meeting you.
Reflections of Exodus
20:1-17
“Do not use my name for evil purposes,
for I, the Lord your God, will punish anyone who misuses my name. Observe the
Sabbath and keep it holy. You have six
days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me.
On that day no one is to work — neither
you, your children, your slaves, your animals, nor the foreigners who live in your
country.” — Exodus 20:7-10
This week two countries that make
up North America are celebrating their
freedoms and liberties. On Wednesday
the people of Canada are celebrating
Canada Day and the citizens of the
United States celebrate Independence
Day on Saturday. In both countries
their freedoms and liberties will be celebrated, because they were given the
rights to govern themselves from the
same government across the ocean, the
British Crown in England. Although
the U.S. constitution was drafted out
of conflict, the Canadian constitution
At the Well
By Dennis Wenzel
was given after a national vote. Both
have the same results, the freedom to
make laws for themselves.
The people of Israel won freedoms
as well, but in a different way. They
were slaves to an oppressive Egyptian
government that had total control
over their lives for hundreds of years.
After Moses was encouraged by God
to confront the Egyptian King with
the request of “let God’s people go”
and with the help of ten plagues, the
Israelite’s crossed the Red Sea into
freedom. Once there they were given a
freedom document, known as the Ten
Commandments. The commandments
documented the life God desired for
them; getting along with God and
other people. To stay within these
commandments meant life in God’s
presence and living outside of them
would result in bondage once again.
Our celebrations are at hand. There
will be parties and gatherings that
we will enjoy. Some towns will have
special events, it gives everyone an
opportunity to rest assured the life
we choose to have is ensured by the
citizens of our countries. However taking our rights for granted could invite
opposing countries who are not free to
govern themselves to shackle us once
again. In your celebrations this week,
always remember to bless God who
blesses us with his presence.
Dear Lord, you have humbled me
once again with your grace. When I
praise you in everything I do, freedom
is felt in my soul. Empower me to reach
out to all people around me with the
peace and grace you give me. Amen.
