Wish granted
Body ID’d
as DiBattiste
By SAMM QUINN
Human remains found
nearly four weeks ago in a
wooded area near county
road 600 South are those of
Brianna DiBattiste.
DNA testing confirmed
the body found Sept. 1 on
land owned by Jay County
Conservation Club was the
25-year-old
missing
Dunkirk woman, according to Jay County Prosecutor Wes Schemenaur.
The testing took longer
than initially anticipated
because of the condition of
the body, Schemenaur said.
Based on evidence collected at the scene, officials
preliminarily identified
the body as DiBattiste, who
went missing after leaving
her father’s Dunkirk home
June 16.
“Investigators were confident upon discovery of
the body that it was in fact
Ms. DiBattiste based on
artifacts found near the
body at the scene, and the
family was informed
Larry Kelly, left, and
his fiancée Linda Allen,
both of Dunkirk, will
make a trip to Florida
this week thanks to
State of the Heart
Dream
Hospice,
Foundation
and
Corynna’s Wish. Kelly is
suffering
from
Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS), a
disease that affects
the brain and spinal
cord and eventually
leads to paralysis and
death.
accordingly. Having the
DNA results confirms
those initial observations,”
he said in a statement.
The investigation of her
disappearance lasted more
than
two
months and
involved
multiple law
enforcement agencies.
Police
checked her
DiBattiste
phone
record and
discovered it hadn’t been
used since she went missing.
Between her disappearance and when the body
was found, officers from
County
Sheriff ’s
Jay
Office, Dunkirk Police
Department, Albany Police
Department, Indiana State
Police and Muncie Police
Department followed leads
and tips that took them all
over East Central Indiana
and into Ohio.

Seeing a Florida sunset and sunrise together
has been a dream for
Larry Kelly and Linda
Allen for the past 13
years. It’s finally coming
true.
Kelly, 49, a Dunkirk
resident who is battling
a fatal disease, and
Allen, his fiancée, will
make a four-day trip to
Florida this week thanks
to State of the Heart Hospice, Dream Foundation
and Corynna’s Wish.
When he got the opportunity, Kelly, who was
diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) — also known
as Lou Gehrig’s disease
— two years ago, didn’t
‘If I can be with
her to see the sun
setting and coming
up on the water,
that is all I want.’
—Larry Kelly,
Dunkirk
have to think twice about
what his wish would be.
He and Allen have wanted to visit Florida, to
have their feet in the
sand while watching a
sunrise and sunset, for
most of their relationship.
“If I can be with her to
see the sun setting and
coming up on the water,
that is all I want,” said
Kelly.
Kelly wanted to spend
time in Florida with
Allen because he spent
some of his childhood
there when his father
was a U.S. Navy SEAL.
Allen is excited to get
some alone time with
Kelly because it’s rare in
the house they share
with their children,
grandchildren and dog
Little-Bit. She’s also
looking forward to the
trip because she knows
her time remaining with
Kelly is limited.
ALS affects nerve cells
in the brain and the
spinal cord, which eventually leads to paralysis
and death.

HONG KONG — Proprotesters
democracy
demanded
that
Hong
Kong’s top leader meet with
them, threatening wider
actions if he did not, after
he said today that China
would not budge in its decision to limit voting reforms
in the Asian financial hub.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has taken a hard
line against any perceived
threat to the Communist
Party’s hold on power,
meanwhile vowed in a
National Day speech to
“steadfastly
safeguard”
Hong Kong’s prosperity
and stability. He said Beijing believes Hong Kong
will “create an even better
future in the big family of
the motherland.”
China’s government has
condemned the student-led
protests as illegal, though it
has not overtly intervened,
leaving Hong Kong’s semiautonomous government to
handle the crisis. But Chief
Executive Leung Chunying’s rejection of the student demands dashed
hopes for a quick resolution
of the five-day standoff that
has blocked city streets,
forcing some schools and
offices to close.
Leung’s statement drew a
defiant response from the
students.
“If Leung Chun-ying
doesn’t come out to Civic
Square before midnight ...
then I believe inevitably
more people will come out
onto the streets,” said Alex
Chow, secretary general of
the Hong Kong Federation
of Students.

Rockwell, Gibson
running for council
Two Jay County natives will
be competing for the District 4
seat on Jay County Council.
Incumbent Mike Rockwell, a
Republican, faces Democrat
Joshua Gibson in
the campaign to
represent a portion of Wayne
Township and all
of Madison, Pike
and Noble townships.
Both Portland
Rockwell
residents
and
graduates of Jay
County High School, Rockwell
is the owner of Rockwell Door
Sales Inc., while Gibson teaches physical education at East
and Bloomfield
elementary
schools.
Gibson
currently sits on the
Jay County Economic DevelopGibson
ment Income Tax
(EDIT) Advisory
Board and United Way of Jay
County Board of Directors.
Rockwell is finishing his first
term as a council member, and
serves on the Jay County Development Corporation board,
Jay/Portland Building and
Planning Inter-Local Board and
Jay County Plan Commission.
Both candidates responded to
a questionnaire from The Commercial Review. Their answers
follow.
••••••••••
What prompted you to run
(or run again) for a seat on the
council?
Gibs on: The main reason is
that I love this community. This
is home, where I work and
where my children will grow
up. We need to focus on how we
spend our money and to see
why we continue to spend more
than projected. I want to be the
one to bridge the gap between
generations to help Jay County
continue to thrive as it is now
and has in the past.
Rockwell: My motivation for
running
for
re-election
remains the same as when I ran
originally four years ago. I
want to ensure that Jay County
taxpayers’ hard-earned money
is not being wasted. Councilmen should act as stewards of
their neighbors’ tax money.
Every government service
should be delivered in the most
efficient way possible. As a
small businessman I pay a lot
of taxes.

There is no cure.
“We don’t know how much longer
he has, and we get to do it together,
just the two of us,” she said.
Jennifer VanSkyock, a social
worker at State of the Heart Hospice,
helped arrange the couple’s dream
vacation.
“We talk about closure needs and
if they have any dreams,” VanSkyock explained. “Larry expressed a
wish to go back to the ocean and take
Linda with him to see the beauty of
the sunset and sunrise on the
ocean.”
After learning about Kelly’s
dream, VanSkyock contacted Dream
Foundation, the nation’s largest
wish-granting organization. She
then filled out the application, and
Kelly was selected to have his wish
become a reality.
“It’s a wonderful feeling, they get
to do something they never thought
was possible,” said VanSkyock.
Dream Foundation made all the
arrangements for the trip and is providing the couple’s hotel room and
plane tickets. But Kelly and Allen
were still unsure they’d be able to
afford food and transportation while
in Florida because Kelly’s inability
to work limits their income.
Then, they learned about Corynna’s Wish.
The program was established in
honor of Corynna Strawser, a former
State of the Heart patient who was
committed to “paying it forward”
prior to her death in December at the
age of 16. Corynna’s Wish helps State
of the Heart Hospice patients fund
their dying wishes.
Kelly applied for the funding and
was granted the rest of the money he
needed to make the dream of a Florida trip a reality.

In mid-August, police
searched a house in Muncie
and a nature preserve near
Upland after a convicted
felon told investigators
DiBattiste’s body was left in
those locations. The search
expanded to an area near
the Big Blue River in northeastern Henry County after
the same man, Curtis Ray
Neal, told investigators her
body was there.
Following
the
midAugust search for DiBat-
tiste, Neal, of Dunkirk, was
charged with obstruction
of justice and false informing in Delaware County.
At autopsy was performed the week the body
was found, but results and a
cause of death may take
three months to be
released. The case remains
under investigation by the
Indiana
State
Police,
Albany Police Department,
Dunkirk Police Department and the Jay County
Sheriff ’s Office.
Preparation for the vacation
hasn’t been easy. Officials have
arranged
wheelchair
access
throughout various airports and
obtained approval for an oxygen
tank on the plane.
Allen’s first plane ride will be the
one they take Wednesday. She’s nervous but excited to get to Florida.
“It’ll be worth it once I’m on the
sand watching the ocean,” she said
of the trip that will conclude Saturday.
Allen and Kelly are very grateful
for hospice and the opportunity to
spend a vacation together while dealing with Kelly’s illness.
“At one point when I was making
phone calls and trying to get through
to hospitals and insurance, I just
cried. I thought it was awful. I
thought, ‘I give up, I don’t know what
to do.’ Then hospice stepped in,” said
Allen.

Wife needs to take care of her health
DEAR ABBY: How can I convince my aging, sick sister-inlaw that her feeble husband’s
care is too much for her at this
point? She can barely care for
herself, yet she must help him
eat, get out of chairs — everything short of chew his food for
him. I have tried telling her she
deserves respite care of some
kind, to no avail.
Have you any ideas how I can
convince her she is literally
killing herself and deserves
some assistance? Their three
daughters are no help at all to
them. They turn a blind eye
from their parents’ situation.

Stutzman has not learned lesson
Marlin Stutzman — that
would be the same Marlin Stutzman who is our congressman —
says he’s “OK” with U.S. troops
“boots on the ground” in Syria
and Iraq.
And you have to ask yourself
the question: Have we learned
nothing in the past couple of
decades?
Sorting out the situation in the
Middle East is like trying to disassemble a pot of stew. It’s been
cooking for hundreds of years —
at least the Sunni-Shiite portion
of it — and every time you think
you know the good guys from the
bad guys, something bubbles up
and changes everything.
Editorial
For instance:
•The Saudis are our friends
and allies, at least on paper. Yet
the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis, and the Wahabism that prevails in Saudi Arabia is among
the most virulently violent
forms of Islam.
•A mountain of treasure —
both in terms of dollars and in
terms of the lives of young
Americans — was spent to get
rid of Saddam Hussein, but
Iraq is even more dangerous
today than it was before the
first shots were fired.
•Iran, an enemy since the
days of the embassy takeover
during the administration of
Jimmy Carter, now looks as if
it’s on our side in the battle
against even more zealous radicals. Yet it continues to threaten Israel with the possibility of
nuclear holocaust and underwrites the disruption and terrorism of Hamas in Palestine.
•Israel, which has enjoyed
strong U.S. support for 65
years, continues to drive U.S.
policymakers crazy with its
heavy-handedness in dealing
with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
And the list could go on.
In short, it’s a situation
where only two rules should
prevail: Be cautious, and
remember that it’s always
more complicated than it
looks.
That’s the lesson that should
have
been
learned
in
Afghanistan and should have
been learned in Iraq.
At the moment, it appears
President Obama has learned
that lesson. His caution, which
has been sharply criticized by
the gung-ho jingo gang, is in
the best interests of America
and in the best interest of the
Middle East.
It may indeed be the case
that the U.S. will get sucked
back into a conflict it wants to
avoid, but the emphasis now
should be on getting the best
possible outcome with the
most careful and — in the
truest sense of the word — conservative approach to the problem at hand.
That’s what the president
seems to be trying to accomplish. Maybe someone should
tell Rep. Stutzman. —J.R.
Big businesses
should stand up
By ADAM MINTER
Bloomberg News
What’s worse for big
business in Hong Kong:
street protests, or the tear
gas fired to disperse the
protests?
That’s
the
uncomfortable question
now confronting Hong
Kong’s button-down business community, which
has co-existed relatively
peacefully with the city’s
Communist
overlords
since the handover to Chinese rule in 1997.
For 30 years, nobody —
other
than
perhaps
China’s growing middleclass — has benefited
more from China’s economic rise than Hong
Kong. Uniquely positioned
both geographically and
politically as a bridge
between the mainland and
the developed world, Hong
Kong’s leaders and businesspeople have learned
the value of not rocking
the boat and — when necessary — throwing in with
those who promise continued good times.
Few groups appreciate
stability quite as much as
the Big Four audit firms
(Deloitte, PwC, Ernst &
Young and KPMG), all of
whom covet the business
of the state-owned Chinese companies that have
long favored Hong Kong’s
equity markets for public
listings. The multinationals proved as much on
June 27, when they jointly
published a letter calling
upon Occupy Central —
the pro-democracy movement partly behind the
current protests in central
Hong Kong — to stand
down. The warning was
specific, prescient and
written
in
language
intended to appeal to Hong
Kong’s
commerciallyminded citizens:
If Occupy Central happens, commercial institutions such as banks,
exchanges and the stock
market will inevitably be
affected. We are worried
that multinational corporations and investors will
consider relocating their
headquarters from Hong
Kong or even withdrawing
their businesses.
Two days after Hong
Kong students began an
unofficial occupation of
central Hong Kong, the
first part of the warning
has come true. Markets
are down, while banks and
other business are closed.
In the unlikely event that
the protests are allowed to
continue for several more
days, the damage to the
local
economy
could
become substantial.
But would that be
enough to convince multinational
companies,
investors, and audit firms
to leave Hong Kong? Needless to say, it’s the rare
Adam
Minter
multinational that hasn’t
operated in a challenging
political environment. For
now, protests are an inconvenience, but they’re surely not enough to force a
major Western company
— or a Chinese stateowned company — to seek
a new headquarters, especially in an age when most
employees can probably
operate from home indefinitely. Hong Kong’s political and financial advantages are too great to be
overshadowed by barricaded subway stops and
college students blocking
downtown arteries.
But the same cannot be
said of a city that
responds to peaceful student protests with tear
gas. No doubt, plenty of
Hong Kong businesspeople would like nothing
more than to see the students cleared from central
Hong Kong immediately,
no matter the means. But
there are also plenty of
moderate Hong Kong
bankers, accountants, and
lawyers who are horrified
to see that the authorities’
first instinct was to
respond with violence.
Indeed, not only does
Hong Kong’s handling of
the protests reflect an
authoritarian state of
mind that seems out of
place in what has traditionally been one of Asia’s
most tolerant cities. It also
suggests a government
that lacks the competence
to do what other world
cities do regularly: peacefully manage a student
protest.
If Hong Kong’s business
community hopes to preserve what’s unique about
their city, it can no longer
remain silent about how
the local and Chinese governments have chosen to
manage dissent there.
Rather, they need to be
just as vocal about the negative consequences of
assaulting unarmed students as they have been
about threats to shut down
the central business district. It’s time for them to
reaffirm how a world-class
business
city
should
behave under duress. The
Chinese
government
won’t appreciate the warning, but it’s guaranteed to
listen.

Building is full of stories
By JOHN KRULL
TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS — Every building has its stories.
The first time I entered the
sprawling brick building at the
corner of New York and Pennsylvania Streets in Indianapolis —
the home of The Indianapolis
News and The Indianapolis Star —
I was 21 and scared to death.
That was more than 30 years
ago, the beginning of a nearly 20year stretch in which I worked for
the two papers. Those were wonderful years.
The building was a strange
place, at that time a weird structure that combined several different buildings that had been
stitched, welded and taped together. Early on, it was possible to start
out walking on one floor and find
oneself on another floor without
taking any stairs, elevator or escalator.
The ventilation system was a
marvel of inefficiency. Before
workplaces had gone smoke-free,
the ceiling of The News city room
often could be seen only through a
cloud that never dissipated nor
moved.
An odd building, it attracted an
odd set people — perhaps the most
endearing set of misfits I’ve ever
known.
The folks with whom I worked at
The News and The Star suffered
from similar forms of maladjustment — an inability to take anything at face value and persistent
problems with authority. A collection of liberal scolds and conservative cranks, they elevated being
a curmudgeon into performance
art and gruffness into a kind of
growling aria.
Their personal lives could be
wrecks. The long hours — in those
days, most newspapers regarded
labor laws as soft suggestions
John
Krull
rather than enforceable rules —
and high stress wreaked havoc on
home life. Broken marriages cluttered the newsroom like old notebooks and discarded Styrofoam
coffee cups.
To publish something every day
as long as a book of several hundred pages, the people who put the
paper out lived on caffeine and
adrenalin. They squabbled like
siblings and yet still somehow
seemed to fit together like the fingers of a glove.
Now, when much of the delivery
of news is digital, the alerts come
with pings, musical tones or soft
vibrations.Then, the arrival of
news seemed an unstoppable force
— and we all were part of it.
Newsrooms
as
deadlines
approached were lively places —
phones ringing, people barking
across their desks, lots of scurrying, even more hustling.
The printing presses in the bowels of the building were so powerful the building shook when they
rolled and shouts couldn’t be
heard over the din they created.
The rolls of newsprint that fed
those presses were as big as brontosauruses.
And, sadly, now just about as
extinct.
The Indianapolis Star published
its last edition in that old brick
building on Sept. 27 and now is
moving to Circle Centre Mall. The
old building will be transformed
into apartments and retail shops.
The move has been called the
end of an era. If so, it’s an era
that’s been ending for a long time.
Gannett bought the paper nearly
15 years ago.
The News — the paper for which
I initially worked and which
shared the building with The Star
for a half-century — folded before
that.
And the world of journalism
itself has changed so much.
The days when printing presses
more powerful than locomotives
delivered the news now have vanished into smoke.
Maybe it’s silly to get sentimental about a building, particularly
one as misshapen as that one was
in its bustling era.
And yet, my time there was no
different than that of many, many
good people who worked there —
people who lived to be the vehicles
through which a community, a city,
a state, a nation and sometimes
even the world shared stories and
talked about things that mattered.
Even now, I can remember the
times when I walked out of the
employee entrance into the dingy
alley at the back of the building in
the wee hours after finishing a big
story or writing a column that
would set my phone to ringing
non-stop the next day — and, now
nearly 20 years later, my heart
beats a little faster.
Walking out of that weird building at those moments made me —
and many others — feel like we
owned the night.
Every building has its stories.
Some have more than others.

Case being made for overhaul

INDIANAPOLIS — Gov.
Mike Pence’s administration began making the
case Monday for possible
changes in the state’s tax
structure.
Department of Revenue
Commissioner
Mike
Alley presented a summary of Pence’s tax conference held earlier this
year to members of a legislative tax study committee. Alley talked about a
slew of options for overhauling who pays for government services, including a possible expansion
of what is included in the
state sales tax.
discussion
—
The
which was largely rote
and focused on analysis
Options include expansion
of Indiana’s sales tax
of where Indiana stands
at the moment instead of
where Pence would like
to take it — only occasionally veered into what
Pence might propose in
the upcoming legislative
session. At one point
Alley noted that it would
be possible to offset an
expansion of the sales
tax to goods like groceries — which would
affect poorer residents
the most — with an
expansion of the tax to
services.
“We know that the more
affluent typically consume
more services — that
would be more progressive,
than regressive, in that
regard,” Alley told the
panel of state lawmakers,
lobbyists and tax experts.
One of the few things
Pence has been specific
about is seeking a “simplification” of the state’s tax
code, something his tax
team talked about as well at
Monday’s meeting. Alley
noted that the number of
exemptions, deductions
and tax credits that individual residents can take
on their state tax return
leads it to be much more
complicated than filing a
simpler federal tax return.
The broad discussion of
Indiana’s tax system comes
as tax collections have
slowed to a crawl for the
state. Tax collections for
2014 came in slightly under
what the state collected in
2013 and a dour prediction
for next year led Pence’s
budget team to alert lawmakers that state agencies
and universities would face
cuts again unless tax collections improve.
The early discussion also
mark a new tactic for
Pence, who has struggled to
win his choices for tax cuts
from the General Assembly
in each of his first two sessions. Pence submitted
loosely defined 2013 and
2014 legislative agendas,
which focused largely on
cuts to the state’s income
tax and a call to eliminate
its tax on business equipment. But legislative leaders chafed at the proposals,
in part because lawmakers
were largely kept out of the
creation of those measures, and altered them
drastically to approve tax
cuts they were seeking.
Lawmakers return in
January for a four-month
session during which they
will consider the state’s
next two-year budget.

What, if anything, should be
done to change the county’s current confined feeding regulations?
Gi bs o n: First and foremost,
Jay County is an agriculture
community. It is a pillar of our
workforce and county income. I
am in favor of what they are currently doing, which is doing the
study to close the loopholes in
the CAFO ordinance.
Rockwell: We cannot have onesize-fits-all regulations. Large
mega
complexes
corporate
should not be regulated the same
way as a farmer who wants to
build one small livestock building. Regulations need to be progressive with the size of the
operation. One option is making
it necessary for the operator to
get the property rezoned to build
a large complex. The regulations
we have must balance the rights
of a farmer to utilize his property responsibly and the rights of
nearby homeowners to enjoy
their properties.

What do you see as the most
important issue facing council

the unpredictable nature of Indianapolis, we need to understand

Indianapolis aren't always great
for Jay County. Lastly, staying
within our budget is very important.

expansion of JDAI is helpful.
“We appreciate the governor’s and legislature’s support and providing necessary funding as a means to

Working together has always put

Arkansas man pleads not guilty
By JILL BLEED
Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A
man accused of abducting and
killing a real estate agent in
rural Arkansas pleaded not
guilty today to preliminary
charges of kidnapping and capital murder, hours after the
woman’s body was discovered
in a shallow grave.
Arron
Michael
Lewis
appeared in court today and
pleaded not guilty to one count
each of capital murder, kidnapping and robbery, as well as
four weapons charges, according to the office of Pulaski
County District Judge Wayne
Gruber.
Early this morning, investigators found the body of Beverly Carter, 49, at Argos Concrete
Company in a rural area about
25 miles northeast of Little
Rock and more than 20 miles
away from Scott, where she had
an appointment to show a
house Thursday but hadn’t
been seen since.
Pulaski County Sheriff ’s
Office Lt. Carl Minden said
Lewis admitted to kidnapping
Carter but did not lead authorities to her body. He said investigators received a tip that led
them to the concrete company
where Carter’s body was found.
Lewis previously worked for
the concrete company, the
Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette
reported today. Lewis, 33, was
being held on $1 million bail in
the Pulaski County jail.
Lewis spoke to reporters
today as he was taken from the
jail to the sheriff ’s office, where
he was interviewed after spending more than 12 hours with
investigators Monday.
When asked by reporters why
Carter was targeted, Lewis
responded: “Because she was
just a woman that worked alone
— a rich broker.” He denied
killing her.

Brandon Coats, a quadriplegic medical marijuana
patient who was fired by
the Dish Network after failing a drug test more than
four years ago, says he still
can’t find steady work
because employers are
wary of his off-duty smoking.
In a case being closely
watched around the country, Colorado’s Supreme
Court today will hear arguments in Coats’ case,
which could have big
implications for pot smokers in the first state to
To split
NEW YORK — EBay
is splitting off its
fastest growing segment, payment service
PayPal, the e-commerce company said
today.
Investors applauded
the news, sending
eBay’s shares up nearly
7 percent in morning
trading.
The move comes
after months of pressure from activist
investor and billionaire Carl Icahn, who
has a 2.5 percent state
in eBay, according to
FactSet. EBay CEO
John Donahoe had
been adamant that
splitting off PayPal
was the wrong move.

ALBUQUERQUE,
N.M. — Researchers
from the National Cancer Institute want to
know how many past
and present cancer
cases in New Mexico
may be related to the
U.S. government's test
of the world's first
atomic bomb over a
remote stretch of
desert nearly 70 years
ago.
They are visiting the
state this week and
conducting in-depth
interviews with several residents to learn
more
about
the
lifestyles and diets of
people who were living
in New Mexico around
the time of the atomic
detonation at the Trinity Site.
Dismissed
PHOENIX — Roughly a third of 300 potential jurors were dismissed Monday in the
penalty retrial of convicted murderer Jodi
Arias after telling a
judge they had seen too
much media coverage
of her first trial to be
impartial
or
had
already made up their
minds about her punishment.
Other jurors were let
go due to work conflicts
or language barriers,
among other reasons,
as jury selection began
in the second attempt
by prosecutors to
secure a death sentence
in the Arizona case
that became a tabloid
TV sensation.

Police haven’t said how investigators linked Lewis to Carter’s
disappearance, but Sheriff Doc
Holladay said more details will
be released at a news conference
this afternoon.
“I just want to express my
condolences to the Carter family
and her friends who have
worked so hard to find her and
these investigators who were
committed to finding her,” Holladay told reporters this morning.

Chow said the students were considering various options, including widening
the protests, pushing for a labor strike
and possibly occupying a government
building.
Despite the hardening rhetoric from
both sides, the mood tonight as the
crowds of protesters swelled was festive.
Few police were evident, and those who
were appeared relaxed.
Both sides appeared to be waiting out
the standoff, as police continued the
light-handed approach to the protests
they adopted after their use of tear gas
and pepper spray over the weekend
failed to drive out tens of thousands of
people occupying streets near the government headquarters. The sit-ins
instead spread to the financial district
and other areas.
A brief cloudburst today cooled the air,
seeming to energize the protesters, a
group of whom shouted “Jiayou,” or
“Keep it up,” and waved their cellphones
with bright LED flashlights sparkling in
the dark.
The crowd had plenty of umbrellas and
rain capes on hand, having stockpiled

Turkey
BEIRUT (AP) — U.S.-led
coalition airstrikes targeted Islamic State fighters
pressing their offensive
against a Kurdish town
near the Syrian-Turkish
border today in an attempt
to halt the militants’
advance, activists said.
The frontier town of
Kobani, also known by its
Arabic name of Ayn Arab,
and surrounding villages
have been under attack by
the Islamic State group
since mid-September. The
fighting has forced some
150,000 Kurds to flee to
Turkey in what has been
one of the largest single
exoduses in Syria’s civil
war, now in its fourth year.
It was not immediately
clear how effective today’s
airstrikes were in slowing
the militants’ advance.
them as a defense in case police might
again deploy tear gas and pepper spray.
“We are not afraid of riot police, we are
not afraid of tear gas, we are not afraid of
pepper spray. We will not leave until Leung
Chun-ying resigns. We will not give up, we
will persevere until the end,” Lester Shum,
another student leader, shouted to a crowd
at Admiralty, near Hong Kong’s waterfront.
Leung’s blunt rejection of the demands
from the students is not surprising.
China’s Communist leadership is wary of
any conciliatory moves that might embolden dissidents and separatists on the mainland.
The protesters want a reversal of a decision by China’s government in August that
a pro-Beijing panel will screen all candidates in the territory’s first direct elections, scheduled for 2017 — a move they
view as reneging on a promise that the
chief executive will be chosen through
“universal suffrage.”
Occupy Central, a wider civil disobedience movement, said in a tweet that the
deadline set by the pro-democracy protesters includes a demand for genuine democracy and for Leung’s resignation.

state laws that are increasingly accepting of marijuana use and employers’
drug-free policies that
won’t tolerate it.
“Attitudes are changing

Sweep ...
Jay County got out to a 62 lead, and after Winchester
got the ball back on a service error by the Patriots,
Westgerdes notched backto-back kills, giving her
team an 8-3 advantage. She
finished with five kills in
the match.
“If you look at a lot of
what her hits were, they
weren’t hit hard,” Medler
said of Westgerdes, a lefthanded senior. “Emily
doesn’t just go up a lot of
times and crush the ball.
She had a couple pretty
decent swings where she
hit the ball hard.”
The Patriots struggled
over the next 15 points, as
Winchester went on an 11-4
run on a pair of aces by
Leah Wren and three from
Leah Malkey. During the
stretch, only one of the Jay
County’s
points
was
earned. Also, the Golden
Falcons capitalized on communication issues within
the Patriot defense. Wren
tallied consecutive aces,
one of which was down the
line on the right side of the
court.
“It was mistake ball,”
Medler said. “It was lack of
communication. They were
listening to the wrong people, paying attention to the
wrong people and it just
wasn’t clicking very well.”
Walter, a junior, ended a
five-point run by Winchester with a block and a kill to

Patriots JV falls
The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney
Jay County High School junior Abby Wendel digs the ball on an attack
from Winchester during game three Monday at JCHS. Wendel was one of two
players to record seven digs, and she added a team-high nine kills in the
Patriots’ 25-21, 25-15, 25-17 win over the visiting Golden Falcons.
force WCHS coach Julie
Smiley to take a timeout
with the score tied at 14.
After the break, Westgerdes
and Wendel recorded consecutive kills for Jay County, which scored four more
points to go on an 8-0 streak
and lead 20-14.
The Patriots’ momentum
was too much for Winches-
ter to overcome.
“I would probably attribute that to our mental
toughness,” Smiley said.
“We’ve had some issues
with our mental toughness
this season. We’re a young
team, a little inexperienced
and hopefully they’ll get
tougher as they progress.”
Although the victory
wasn’t an attractive one,
Medler was still pleased
with it.
“(It was) a good win,
another one we can notch
up,” he said. “It wasn’t a
pretty one, but you don’t
have all pretty ones, so we’ll
take it.”
Junior varsity scores

Pacers change expectations
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pacers forward David West brought a reality
check to media day.
Instead of discussing championship aspirations, playoff chances
or goals, West carefully and continually steered the conversation toward
what he sees as Indiana’s biggest
challenge: life without Paul George
and Lance Stephenson, the Pacers’
top two scorers last season.
“Paul’s loss is big, Lance’s loss is
big. Obviously, you can’t anticipate
what happened with Paul,” West said
Monday, referring to the gruesome
broken right leg George sustained in
early August. “But you’ve got to give
yourselves a realistic starting point.
You can’t be talking about being a
championship contender or whatever
right now. We’ve got to talk about getting the best guys on the floor to compete.”
West is doing more than merely
lower expectations on the eve of
training camp.
In July 2013, the longtime NBA veteran re-signed with Indiana, agreeing
to a two-year deal with the idea that
he could help bring a championship
banner to Indianapolis.
After Stephenson left for Charlotte
in free agency and George was
injured running into a basketball
stanchion during the U.S. national
team scrimmage in Las Vegas, a
game West watched live, the Pacers’
vocal leader immediately knew
things would be different for the twotime Eastern Conference runner-ups.
“That thought crept into my mind,”
West said when asked about the
prospect of not winning a title in Indy.
“We’ve got to deal with what’s been
put at our feet.”
Kansas City routs
Brady, New England
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
— Perhaps the Kansas City
Chiefs gave their neighbors
across the parking lot a little bit of inspiration with
their impassioned performance against New England.
Jamaal Charles returned
from an ankle injury to
score three touchdowns,
Alex Smith threw for 248
yards and three scores, and
the Chiefs routed the Patriots 41-14 on Monday night,
getting the sports week off
to a smashing start in
Kansas City with the Royals preparing to open the
baseball playoffs on Tuesday.
“To have back-to-back
events like this, Monday
night football and a home
playoff game, yeah, it’s special,” Smith said. “Right
next door to each other.”
Arrowhead
Stadium,
which was packed to the
brim in red-clad Chiefs
fans, is just a short walk
from Kauffman Stadium,
which will surely be
packed with blue when the
Royals end a 29-year playoff drought against the
Oakland Athletics in the
AL wild-card game.
Several members of the
Royals even showed up for
the Chiefs-Patriots game,
including starting pitcher
James Shields, drawing
huge roars when they were
shown on the big screens.
And some of the Chiefs
said they were thinking
about returning the favor,
including wide receiver
Dwayne Bowe.
Regardless, the Chiefs
will be able to spend Tuesday in a celebratory mood.
They held the Patriots’
Tom Brady to 159 yards
passing and a touchdown,
picking him off twice and
returning one for a touchdown. Brady was also stripsacked by Tamba Hali to
set up a Chiefs field goal,
capping off a miserable
night for the two-time NFL
MVP.
“It was just a bad performance by everybody,”
Brady said. “We need to
make sure we never have
this feeling again. We’ve
got to figure out what we
have to do better.”
The Chiefs forced the
Patriots to air it out by
stuffing Shane Vereen and
Stevan Ridley. And when
Brady dropped back, their
front seven ran roughshod
over New England’s suspect offensive line.

Patriots sweep Falcons
JC overcomes
slow start
to pick up
18th victory
By CHRIS SCHANZ
Jay County’s volleyball team
didn’t practice since its loss to
Wes-Del on Thursday.
The time off showed in the
first game against Winchester,
but once the Patriots got rolling
it was hard to slow them down.
Jay County picked up a threegame sweep against the visiting
Golden Falcons, 25-21, 25-15, 2517, four days after being swept
by the Class 1A No. 1 Warriors.
“We talked to them about
when you’re coming in fresh …
you just have to focus and concentrate,” said JCHS coach Fred
Medler, whose team moved to 184 on the season, tying its win
total from a year ago. “(Give)
Winchester credit, they dig balls
well, and in game one we decided to hit right at them.”
Winchester (3-18) went backand-forth with the host Patriots
in the opening game, going on
runs of three or more points on
three separate occasions. JCHS
sophomore Abby Barcus, who
finished with five kills, and four
digs, halted each of the three
runs by the Golden Falcons. Her
third kill of the match sparked
an 8-3 run by the Patriots,
including a four-point streak
and two aces by Britlyn Dues.
“They were serving pretty

right at a digger.”
After taking game one, the
Patriots adjusted their attack,
going away from the strong,
powerful hits to softer, more precise shots. The change worked,
as Jay County rode the serves of
Bre McIntire, Kylie Osborne,
Lizzy Schoenlein and Ava Kunkler to a 16-4 lead.
McIntire, who finished a per-
fect 15-of-15 from the service
line, recorded all five of her aces
in a 7-0 run after Winchester got
the first point of the match. As
the Patriots built their lead,
Osborne also had an ace, and
Abby Wendel tallied three of her
team-high nine kills.
“It wasn’t anything we were
doing that looked tremendous,
but we were playing smart,”
said Medler, whose team hosts
Southern Wells at 6 p.m. tonight
and travels to Heritage on
Thursday. “A lot of times the difference between winning and
losing is playing smart.”
After cruising to a win in the
second game, Medler switched
up the Patriot lineup, giving
Emily Westgerdes, Emilie Walter, Katie Lyons and Dues more
time on the court in game three.
