Dunkirk named Stellar finalist
By RAY COONEY
The news was worth the wait.
Dunkirk Mayor Dan Watson
learned Tuesday in a call from Lt.
Gov. Sue Ellspermann that
Dunkirk has been selected as a
finalist for Stellar Communities
grant funding.
“It’s awesome,” said Dunkirk
Mayor Dan Watson. “And it felt
better that there’s only two finalists in our group. So we have a
50/50 chance. You can’t beat that.”
“It’s pretty darn sweet,” added
Jay County community development director Ami Huffman, who
City is seeking
$2.6 million
for local projects
has worked with the city on its
application. “It’s exciting because
they work so hard and they’re
such a team. It’s exciting to take
that next step.”
The decision was originally
scheduled for Thursday, but state
officials instead sent an email
last week announcing a five-day
delay.
Dunkirk and North Liberty,
which is about 15 miles southwest
of South Bend in St. Joseph
County, are the lone finalists in
the division for municipalities
with populations of fewer than
6,000.
OCRA had planned to select
three finalists in each division,
but decided those two were bestsuited to move forward with the
process.
“I think we’re farther along
than most communities … as far
as having a revitalization plan.
Even though we haven’t been
awarded the last two years, we
still try to keep moving forward,”
said Watson. “We’ve secured all
the buildings. We’ve got control
of all the properties. We’ve got all
the environmental (studies).
Everything is done. We’re just
ready to go. The only thing we’re
lacking is funding.”
Dunkirk will now begin work
on the next step of the process,
which includes a final application
book that is due June 30 and a
visit from state officials. There
are also several more rounds of
paperwork that must be submitted to the state.

Moore resigning as Geneva clerk
By DEVIN ZIMMERMAN
GENEVA — The clerk-treasurer is stepping down.
Barry Moore announced Tuesday night during the Geneva
Town Council meeting he will be
resigning his position as clerktreasurer, effective May 1. He
cited multiple reasons for the
departure, including the difficulty of the position and the accompanying stress.
“I underestimated how much
there is to the office, and overestimated my ability to learn it
all,” read a resignation email
Moore displayed during the
meeting. “The resultant stress
has lead to insomnia and irritability. I thought that my handling of the stress would
improve as I learned the ropes,
but the symptoms are still with
me.”
While speaking to council
members and attendees of the
meeting, Moore said he will help
train his replacement once one is
selected. He has held the position
since January.
Council members also passed a
motion allowing Geneva Volunteer Fire Department to purchase a new equipment van.
Fire chief John Patch presented quotes he received from Marshal Motors, based out of Monroe. The van, which is a 2006
model with a Ford transmission
and motor, will cost $25,209. However, it has to be outfitted for the
fire department’s use.
Patch said decals and reflectors have to be installed, in addition to lights and a radio. Even
though the department plans to
move the radio from their old
van to their new one, there are
still costs involved with retuning
and installation.

U.S. soldier killed
By LYNNE O’DONNELL and
RAHIM FAIEZ
Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan —
An Afghan soldier opened
fire at a group of U.S.
troops in the city of Jalalabad
in
eastern
Afghanistan today, killing
an American soldier and
wounding at least two others before he was shot
dead, a U.S. official said.
The incident happened
after a meeting between
Afghan provincial leaders
and a U.S. Embassy official
in the compound of the
provincial governor in
Jalalabad. All U.S. Embassy
staff were accounted for
and returned safely to their
mission headquarters, the
embassy said.
It was the latest in socalled “insider attacks” —
instances in which Afghan
soldiers or policemen have
turned their weapons on
their fellow American or
other NATO colleagues.
The attack was also the
second fatality suffered by
NATO since the beginning
of the year, when the coalition launched its new mission in Afghanistan called
Resolute Support after foreign combat troops withdrew from the country.
The last previous incident in which an American
Associated Press/Rahmat Gul
soldier was killed in
Afghanistan was on Dec. 13,
Afghan policemen patrol today at the site
when a roadside bombing
of
a
deadly
attack by an Afghan national army soldier
killed two U.S. troops in
who opened fire on U.S. troops, in the compound of
Parwan province.

Weather
In review
There was 0.36 inches of
rain Tuesday at Portland’s
weather station and the high
temperature was 59. The
overnight low was 40.
Thunderstorms are expected to continue tonight and
Thursday, and the high Thursday will be 72.
For an extended forecast,
see page 2.
Portland Board of Works
will hold an executive session
and special meeting Friday.
The executive session is scheduled for 2 p.m. in the mayor’s
office at city hall, 321 N. Meridian St., with the special meeting to follow.
More education generally leads to better jobs,
and a local group is hoping to start a program to
make paying for higher
learning easier.
Jay County Development Corporation executive director Bill Bradley
announced Tuesday that
the group and several
local partners want to
launch a program during
the 2015-16 school year to
help area students start a
college savings account.
Also at its meeting
Monday, the JCDC board
heard economic development news from Bradley
and got updates on several projects from community development director
Ami Huffman.
Bradley relayed plans
for a “Promise” program
to encourage students to
start CollegeChoice 529
Direct Savings Plans
beginning in kindergarten. The 529 accounts
are a way to save taxdeferred money to pay for
education after high
school.
He said the hope is to
launch the plan during
the coming school year.
The idea came after he,
John Jay Center for
Learning executive director Rusty Inman, The
Portland
Foundation
executive director and
county
commissioner
Doug Inman and Jeremy
Gulley of Jay School Corporation made a trip to
Wabash County to learn
about the program it
piloted and has since
expanded to several other
counties.
The Wabash County
version of the program
involves a five-minute
registration process for
kindergarten
through
third graders to open at
529 account. Parkview
Health, which is a sponsor, makes an initial donation of $25 to all accounts.
Students
are
then
encouraged each September to raise $25 in contributions to their accounts.
They receive a match
from public and private
partners if they reach
that goal.

Watson noted that it will
take the entire community
coming together, especially during the site visit, for
Dunkirk to be selected for
the funding.
“That’s going to be the
key,” he said. “It’ll have to
be a pretty elaborate show
of support.”
Dunkirk is requesting
$2.6 million in grants and
tax credits that would be
used for projects such as
relocation of the city’s
library and glass museum
and construction on a senior housing complex.
Crown Crossing Senior
Housing
Development,
which Dunkirk is pursuing in partnership with
Buckeye
Community
Hope
Foundation
of
Columbus, Ohio, is the
largest part of the proposal. The $3.4 million facility,
to be built on the west side
of Main Street between
Center Street and the railroad tracks, would include
28 units, a courtyard,
kitchen, social hall, laundry room, library, computer room and administrative office space.
The Stellar funding
would also allow the city
to move the library and
glass museum from their
Washington Street location to the Stewart Brothers building on Main
Street.
“It would be awesome.
The No. 1 issue I think is
the library and glass muse-
um, getting that moved,”
Watson said. “That’s been
our No. 1 priority … I envision the Stewart Brothers
building as the Weiler
building (John Jay Center)
to Portland. That’s what it
could do.”
Lighting in the downtown area and Safe Routes
to Schools are also part of
the city’s Stellar application.
Finalists in the division
for municipalities with
6,000 or more residents are
Decatur, Marion and
Crawfordsville.
The winners in each
group will be announced at
the state fair in August.
“Each year the selection
of the finalist is becoming
more difficult as the applications are including more
creative plans with greater
private sector investment,”
said Ellspermann in a
press release Tuesday.
“The 2015 finalists represent some extraordinary
work and collaboration
among the public and private sectors in each community.”
Dunkirk had applied for
Stellar funding twice
before, missing the finalist
list in 2013 and ’14. Portland was a finalist in 2011,
when North Vernon and
Greencastle were selected
as winners.
Other Stellar winners
were Princeton and Delphi
in 2012, Richmond and Bedford in 2013 and Huntingburg and Wabash in 2014.
Hoping ...
“Studies have shown that when
kids have money invested in the
early years toward college, it
increases the chances of going to
college
considerably,”
said
Bradley.
As of 2013-14, 72 percent of
Wabash County students in
kindergarten through third
grade had a 529 account.
Prior to the establishment of
the “Promise” program, that
number was 6 percent.
Local officials plan to attend a
workshop April 24 at Manchester
University to continuing learning about the program.
Bradley also relayed the news
of the planned $15.5 million
expansion and investment at FCC
that was announced at Monday’s
Portland City Council meeting,
and noted investments by ATI
Forged Products (Portland Forge)
and Moser Engineering. He said
there was been interest in the former Walmart and International
Paper buildings, which were previously used by Sonoco for storage purposes but are now vacant.
Huffman noted that a pre-construction meeting for Portland’s
west side sewer project is set for
Friday and bidding for blight
elimination in Dunkirk and
sewer separation in Redkey will
begin in May. She is also working
with Redkey on a grant application for a new fire station.
In other business, board members:
•Heard from Bob Lyons that he
believes progress is continuing
on the Bluff Point Wind Farm
project. He said he hopes developer NextEra Energy will be
able to begin construction of the
proposed wind farm, which
would included 70 turbines and
an investment of $240 million in
southern Jay and northern Randolph counties, in the first half
of 2016.
•Learned
from
Portland
Mayor Randy Geesaman that a
meeting to plan for Indiana’s
bicentennial celebration is
scheduled for 10 a.m. April 28 at
Arts Place.
•Heard from Huffman that
there will be a meeting May 7
with Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs representatives about Portland becoming
an Indiana Main Street (IMS)
community. IMS focuses on providing economic revitalization
and professional assistance in
downtown areas.

Learn lessons;
Clueless dad needs to know
and don’t let go
BY TED KOOSER

American
Life in Poetry
I don’t think I’ve ever
sold anything that, later, I
didn’t wish I had back,
and I have a list of
regrets as long as my
arm.
So this poem by Melissa Balmain really caught and her most recent book
my attention. Balmain is Walking in on People,
lives in New York State, from Able Muse Press.
Love Poem
The afternoon we left our first apartment, we
scrubbed it down from ceiling to parquet. Who knew
the place could smell like lemon muffins?
It suddenly seemed nuts to move away.
The morning someone bought our station wagon,
it gleamed with wax and every piston purred.
That car looked like a centerfold in Hot Rod!
Too late, we saw that selling was absurd.
And then there was the freshly tuned piano we
passed along to neighbors with a wince. We told ourselves we’d find one even better; instead we’ve missed
its timbre ever since.
So if, God help us, we are ever tempted
to ditch our marriage when it’s lost its glow,
let’s give the thing our finest spit and polish —
and, having learned our lesson, not let go.

DEAR ABBY: I’m the mother

dad and I are divorced and she
lives with him. We were married 20 years and I know he’s a
good parent, except for one
thing. My daughter has told me
her father and his partner sometimes engage in very loud lovemaking when she’s in her room,
and it embarrasses her. She’s
shy to begin with, so she hasn’t
said anything to him.
I feel angry and frustrated
because I don’t know if I should
say something to him about it. I
have suggested she put on some
loud music or use headphones if
she can’t bring this up with
him. I think she wants me to
intercede, but I don’t feel it’s my
business to do so. Can these

My question concerns my

DEAR ABBY: I find it difficult
to lie. This trait suits me well
except in one area. When
friends or family share information about being ill, experiencing a death or any sort of
tragedy, almost everyone else
responds with, “You’re in my
prayers.”
I am an atheist and do not
claim I will pray for those individuals because that would be
lying. So what is the proper
response when prayer is off the

“I’ ll s end pos itive thoughts for

Happy birthday; I’ll be home soon
By JACK RONALD
Some dates are special.
Today is one of those.
It’s my wife’s birthday, and
it’s a big one in the grand
scheme of things.
And I won’t be there to celebrate the occasion with her.
That’s because I’m working
overseas again on a project
intended to promote international free press. That may
sound like a lofty goal, but
when you weigh it against
missing your wife’s birthday it
seems a little puny.
Connie and I met in 1968, 47
years ago by my count, on the
day before her birthday.
She was a freshman in college. I was a sophomore.
Our paths had crossed a couple of times, but we didn’t really know each other at all.
Back
in the
Saddle
It had been — to say the least
— an eventful spring.
Martin Luther King had
been assassinated. Lyndon
Johnson had announced — in
the face of an insurrection
within the Democratic Party —
that he wouldn’t seek re-election.
And downtown Richmond
had blown up. A natural gas
leak under a sporting goods
store full of ammunition transformed the downtown.
Those add up to a pretty
remarkable
landscape
in
which to get to know the
woman you would marry.
The circumstances were
pretty mundane.
I’d made arrangements for a
guitarist buddy of mine to
audition with a group that
involved my roommate and
another good friend.
The guitarist buddy had
been interested in Connie and
invited her to his audition. I
was there trying to play entrepreneur/impresario. Both of
us listened for a while, then I
suggested we go for a walk.
That led to getting a Coke
together and walking her back
to her dorm.
Two weeks later I asked her
to marry me. She said yes.
In between, however, came
her birthday party. And I wasn’t invited.
Though I may have been on
the social radar after our Coke
date, I wasn’t really part of her
social circle. So when she and
her friends and an assortment
of guys I didn’t know went out
sledding and partying, I stayed
home.
It must have been a rollicking party, and I’m sorry I
missed it.
But I figure we’ve made up
for that over the past 47 years.
So, today, even though I
won’t be home where I belong,
I’ll be celebrating all that has
happened since: Our wedding
in 1971, only a week after she
graduated from Earlham; our
decision in 1974 to move to Jay
County so I could accept a position at the newspaper here (the
plan was to stay for two years,
but we have stayed for more
than 40); the birth of our twins
in 1977; surviving the blizzard
of 1978 with tiny twins at
home; the birth of our
youngest daughter; the loss of
our parents; three addresses in
Portland, one rental and two
houses; health scares; Connie’s
journey back to college to get
her master’s degree; dozens of
vacations together in New
Hampshire; sunset cruises;
mountains climbed together;
walks in the woods; dishwashers emptied; home improvement projects argued over;
trees planted; trees cut down;
birdfeeders filled; books discovered; art collected; concerts
relished; and many moments
far too intimate to share with
you here.
You get the picture.
So, I’ll just leave it at this:
Darling, happy birthday! I’ll be
home as soon as possible.
Ban undermines
energy security
Bloomberg News
It’s a pernicious bit of
American
mythology
that is used to justify the
law against domestic oil
producers selling their
crude overseas: The U.S.
needs “energy independence.”
Never mind that the
law actually undermines
this goal, or that the goal
is
practically
itself
impossible to achieve.
It’s the wrong goal.
What the U.S. should be
striving for is not independence, but energy
security.
The story behind the
myth goes something like
this: If the U.S. doesn’t
hoard all its oil, then it
can’t hope to attain energy independence. And
until it does that, it has to
keep buying oil from
politically unstable or
unfriendly
regimes.
Therefore
U.S.
consumers must tolerate
volatile prices for gasoline and heating oil.
The tale is false, but it
brushes against one
truth: When instability
in other countries affects
the price of oil, the U.S.
economy can suffer. Just
last month, the price
jumped almost 5 percent
when Saudi bombs began
to fall on rebel targets in
Yemen.
Such
unpredictable spikes make it
difficult for many U.S.
businesses to plan ahead,
and this means less
investment and less hiring.
The way to lessen U.S.
vulnerability, however, is
not to withdraw from the
world oil market altogether (if that were even
possible).
It’s to sell more of the
U.S.’s expanding crude
stores abroad. As a bigger player, the U.S. would
have a greater influence
on price.
This reality was not
obvious when Congress
imposed the export ban
in the 1970s in response
to the Arab oil embargo.
Back then, no one foresaw that the U.S. could
become such an enormous producer.
Now, however, technologies
such
as
hydraulic fracturing and
horizontal
drilling
enable the U.S. to produce
more than 9.2 million
barrels of crude per day,
up from 5.5 million just
five years ago.
This oil — much of it
from shale deposits in
North Dakota and Texas
Guest
Editorial
— is light, sweet crude,
which would fetch a relatively good price if it
could be sold abroad. But
it’s stuck in the domestic
market, where many
refineries are configured
to
process
heavier
crudes, which they can
buy from Venezuela,
Canada or Mexico at
lower prices.
At the moment, the difference between oil’s
global benchmark price
for May delivery (about
$57) and its U.S. price
(about $51) is a considerable spread.
It could grow as U.S.
storage facilities fill up.
This makes things unnecessarily difficult for U.S.
producers.
Meanwhile, the situation does nothing to keep
U.S. consumer gasoline
and heating oil prices
low, because the export
ban doesn’t include those
refined products.
They’re exported and
imported freely, so their
prices are set on the global market. The discount
that U.S. refiners get for
American crude isn’t
passed along to consumers. If U.S. oil could
be exported, it would
help keep oil and gasoline prices down worldwide.
It’s true that the oil
bonanza has enabled the
U.S.
to
reduce
oil
imports.
Still,
they
amount to more than 7
million barrels a day.
And while exporting
would cause that amount
to increase, U.S. producers would produce more
oil, and net imports
would fall.
So why not just lift the
ban?
Because members of
Congress are basically
afraid that if they were to
do make that change, and
the price of gasoline
were to rise, they would
get the blame.
Balanced against the
reward of a more stable
and reliable energy market — and the reality of
currently low gasoline
prices — that doesn’t
seem such a huge risk.
In any case, it’s the
kind of risk politicians
are elected to take.
In politics, money talks
By ABDUL HAKIM-SHABAZZ
IndyPoltics.Org
You know what the big takeaway
was from the controversy over the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act
(RFRA)?
No, it wasn’t the adage “it’s not
what it is, it’s what it looks like.”
Nor was it “be careful what you
pray for, you just might get it.”
No, the big lesson from this
week’s RFRA controversy was that
“money talks and b******* walks.”
(My uncle taught me that.)
To translate that into something
less urban, that basically means
that when you want to get somebody’s attention, start messing with
his or her money. Or, to put it in a
more positive light, capitalism can
be the cure for what ails us.
There were examples of this all
over Indianapolis: Gen Con, Angie’s
List, SalesForce, the National Collegiate Athletic Association. A lot of
big names were expressing their
concerns over what they thought
the potential discriminatory impact
of RFRA could be.
I know: this is where you say
RFRA didn’t allow for discrimination. That RFRA, or laws similar to
it were already on the books. That
the federal version of RFRA was
signed into law by Bill Clinton in
the mid 1990s. That Barack Obama
voted for a similar version of RFRA
when he was in the Illinois legislature.
Yes, all that is true, and this is
where I remind you of my first
adage. Enough people made enough
noise about what they would do
with their money if something wasn’t done about RFRA. Lawmakers
heard the message loud and clear
and started down the road of fixing
the problem.
And the problem was getting bad
and Indiana was on the verge of the
Abdul
HakimShabazz
beginning of a major economic
meltdown. And this was a meltdown everyone would have felt
It wasn’t just my friend who was a
downtown nightclub owner who
lost a $10,000 event because of the
RFRA controversy. Luckily, the
folks changed their minds after lawmakers changed the bill.
But it was also Moody’s credit
agency sounding the alarm. The
agency called the reaction to the
law a “negative credit development” for the city and the state, saying in its credit outlook report that
there was “increased risk to its hospitality-related revenues” because
of a possible downturn in tourism
and convention business.”
And keep this in mind, the Indianapolis convention business generates about $4.4 billion for the
state. The taxes from those dollars
help pay for schools and other services. And a lot of those schools and
services are not in Indianapolis, but
in
Richmond,
Warsaw,
Charlestown, Greenwood, just to
name a few.
And it wasn’t just the RFRA opponents who took advantage of capitalism. Remember the story about
the pizza place in Walkerton, Indiana, whose owners said they would
not cater a gay wedding because it
violated their religious beliefs.
(Granted I don’t know any selfrespecting couple, gay or straight
that would do that, but I digress).
Well, a bunch of people got mad
Lawmakers
heard the
message
loud and clear
and started
down the road
of fixing
the problem.
(to put it mildly) and the owners
had to close the place down. Then a
bunch of people got mad at the
bunch of people who got mad at the
pizzeria and started a GoFundMe
campaign, and, as I write this column, they’ve raised at least
$800,000 for the owners. Once again
folks, the magic of capitalism
worked.
Now does this mean we can
scrape all anti-discrimination laws?
Of course not.
And I don’t have a problem
adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the state’s civil
rights code. But if there’s one thing
this experience should have taught
us, its that you can talk crazy all
you want, but when you start, as
my uncle used to say, “messing with
other folks’ money, it’s about to get
deep and it’s about to get real.”
And it got real.

INDIANAPOLIS —
Legislators are backing Indiana’s first regulations for the liquids
used in electronic cigarettes and the practice known as “vaping.”
State senators voted
33-15 on Tuesday to
endorse the proposal.
Its provisions include
banning sales to those
younger than 18, establishing manufacturing
safety standards and
requiring child-proof
and tamper-proof caps
on containers.
Several owners of
vaping-related businesses have said it
could cost them thousands of dollars to
comply with the proposed regulations.

Video shows deadly shooting
By BRUCE SMITH
and JEFFREY COLLINS
Associated Press
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. —
Dramatic video that shows a
white South Carolina police officer shooting a fleeing black man
after a traffic stop has led authorities to file a murder charge
against the officer amid public
outrage over a series of deaths of
unarmed black men at the hands
of law enforcement agents.
A protest began with about 40 to
50 people today in North
Charleston, led by a group formed
after the fatal shooting of another
black man in Ferguson, Missouri.
The video, provided to the dead
man’s family and lawyer by an
unidentified person who shot the
footage, shows North Charleston
Patrolman Michael Thomas Slager
firing eight shots at the back of
Walter Lamer Scott as he runs
away. The 50-year-old man falls
after the eighth shot, fired after a
brief pause.
Scott’s parents appeared separately on TV shows today morning, a day after the officer was
charged.
Walter Scott Sr. told the NBC
“Today Show” that his son may
have run because he owed child
support and didn’t want to go back
to jail.
Scott Sr. said that in the video,
the officer “looked like he was trying to kill a deer running through
the woods.”
Judy Scott called the video “the
most horrible thing I’ve ever
seen.”
“I almost couldn’t look at it to see
my son running defenselessly,
being shot. It just tore my heart to
pieces,” she said on ABC’s “Good
Morning America.”
Attorneys for the family said the
man who shot the video is assisting
investigators. The person has not
been identified.
North Charleston Mayor Keith
Summey announced the charge at
a news conference Tuesday.
Summy said Slager had made “a
bad decision.” Authorities said
Scott was shot after the officer had
already hit the man with a stun
gun after a traffic stop Saturday
that began over a faulty brake
light.
“When you’re wrong, you’re
wrong,” Summey told reporters.
“When you make a bad decision,
don’t care if you’re behind the
shield or a citizen on the street, you
have to live with that decision.”
Slager, who has been with the
North Charleston police for five
years, was denied bond at a first
appearance hearing Tuesday. He
was not accompanied by a lawyer.
If convicted, he could face 30 years
to life in prison.
The shooting comes amid ongoing public issues of trust between
law enforcement and minority
communities after such prominent
deaths as those of Michael Brown
in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric
Garner on Staten Island, New
York.

Republican Gov. Mike
Pence’s request for a proposed balanced budget
amendconstitutional
ment cleared a legislative
committee on Tuesday
following a couple hours
in a Statehouse rut.
The House Judiciary
Committee advanced the
proposal to the full House
by a 7-5 margin when two
Republican
members
arrived for the panel’s
meeting after members
originally deadlocked 5-5
on it.
The proposed amendment would prohibit the
state from spending more
than its anticipated tax
collections. Lawmakers
could
suspend
that
requirement with twothirds approval in both
the House and Senate.
Pence first asked for
constitutional
the
amendment during January’s State of the State
speech, saying it would
ensure
responsible
spending and catch Indiana up with many other
states that have similar
requirements.
Its potential impact on
the state budget is
unclear, given that Indiana’s 1851 constitution
already largely bans the
state from incurring debt,
except for in times of war.

legislative
leaders have pushed the
amendment solely for
political reasons.
“We’re pretending to

of Indianapolis. “This
does not improve our
constitution, does not

Micah Vincent, general
counsel for the state’s
Office of Management
and Budget, said the
amendment would help
ensure that Indiana continues its practice in
recent years of having
balanced budgets.
“It is much more difficult to come back in and
to enshrine these kind of
policies when you’re
actually out of line with
them,” he said. “That’s
why I would say now is
the time to do this.”
If lawmakers endorse
the amendment this year,
the same language would
have to be approved by
the General Assembly
elected in 2016 in order
for it to go before voters
in a statewide referendum on the November

Brooks dedicates Riley ‘zone’
By RICK CALLAHAN
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Country
music star Garth Brooks became
teary-eyed Tuesday as he dedicated a new child play zone at an
Indianapolis children’s hospital,
praising the colorful, game-filled
space as a “miracle” that allows
ailing youngsters to forget their
illnesses and just have fun.
Brooks arrived at Riley Hospital for Children in a race car driven by IndyCar driver Charlie
Kimball, then waded into a crowd
that filled the hospital’s atrium.
Dressed in jeans and sporting a
black cowboy hat, he greeted a
long line of young patients, their
families and hospital staffers,
some of whom cheered once they
saw Brooks approaching.
After a ribbon-cutting for the
hospital’s Child Life Zone, the 53year-old singer entered that 4,200square-foot space, which was
funded through the Teammates
for Kids foundation, which
Brooks co-founded in 1999. The
space, which includes billiards,
foosball, a video game wall, an
arts and crafts area and even a
recording studio, is the nation’s
11th and largest hospital Child
Life Zone.

Associated Press/Indianapolis Star/Kelly Wilkinson
became
emotional
as
he
described the impact the play
areas have on children by allowing them to momentarily forget
grueling treatments and frightening medical procedures.
“What you’re witnessing here
in these zones is truly a miracle.
It’s a place in a hospital where no
doctor and no needles are
allowed. It’s a place where a kid
gets to be a kid,” he told hospital
staffers and donors whose gifts
paid for the space, which opened
in late 2014.
Brooks said research suggests
young patients who enjoy
moments of fun need less pain
medication and have faster recovery times than patients who
don’t.
Eleven-year-old Chloe Alexan-
der of Sullivan, Indiana, got both
a hug and an autographed cowboy hat from Brooks and spent a
moment talking to him.
“I told him that my dad will be
jealous and that it was so nice to
meet him. He said that he loved
me. He also said that I have a
great spirit,” the young country
music fan, who had just completed five days of chemotherapy
treatments for Ewing sarcoma,
said.
Chloe, who left the hospital
with her mother, Jerri, after
Tuesday’s event to return to Sullivan, said she loved visiting the
Child Life Zone during her stay.
She excitedly described the day
she recorded her own music
video there — her own version of
James Brown’s “I Feel Good.”

Public Notice
250 PUBLIC NOTICE
The City of Portland applied
to Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s
("IHCDA")
Blight
Elimination Program ("BEP").
Our application was successful. We have received an
award of $126,000.00.
Working in conjunction with
Community and Family Services we intend to acquire and
demolish the following residential structures:
808 North Franklin Street
902 East North Street
120 West McNeil Street
1007 West Main Street
704 South Bridge
952 South Bridge
316 Jaqua Avenue
The goal of the Blight Elimination Program is to reduce
the number of blighted and
abandoned homes in our community and neighborhoods.
We believe the acquisition
and demolition of these structures will stabilize neighborhood property values, prevent
avoidable foreclosures, and
assist us in our efforts to keep
our community and neighborhoods safe. We invite you to
attend a public hearing at 5:30
p.m., May 18, 2015, at Council
Chambers,
1616
North
Franklin Street, Portland IN
47371 to discuss the positive
impact this program will have
on our community.
If you have questions about a
specific property listed in this
Notice, please contact Randy
D. Geesaman, Mayor at 260726-9395. If you have questions
about the Blight Elimination
Program, please feel free to

Homestead’s Swanigan
named Mr. Basketball
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Caleb Swanigan of Class
4A state champion Fort
Wayne Homestead was
named Tuesday as Indiana’s Mr. Basketball.
The 6-foot-9, 260-pound
senior was selected on 177
of the 373 ballots submitted by coaches and media,
the Indianapolis Star
reported
Tuesday.
Carmel’s Ryan Cline was
second with 69 votes and
Indianapolis Howe’s Harris Brown finished third
with seven votes.
As a senior, Swanigan
averaged 22.6 points and
13.7 rebounds. He scored
21 points and grabbed nine
rebounds in the Class 4A
Sectional 6 championship
game against Jay County.
He set school records for
scoring in a career (1,649
points) and season (704)
and rebounds in a career
(1,048) and season (424). He
also made 364 free throws
and 625 field goals to set
school records.
“Caleb is a phenomenal
player who has worked
extremely hard to put himself in a position to not
only be the best player in
the state of Indiana, but
one of the best in the
nation,” Homestead coach
Chris Johnson said.
Recruiting sites Scout,
Rivals and 247sports rank
Swanigan between No. 11
and 17 in the 2015 recruiting class. Swanigan said
he will announce his college choice Saturday at the
Hoop Summit in Portland,
Oregon. The finalists
include Purdue, California, Duke, Michigan State,
Arizona and Kentucky.
“I have a pretty good
idea,” Swanigan said. “It’s
just hard to eliminate any-
one with the few that I
have left.”
Swanigan said he never
focused on winning Mr.
Basketball but figured it
was a possibility if his
team accomplished its
goal of winning the state
championship. The Spartans came back from a 10point fourth quarter
deficit to defeat Evansville
Reitz 91-90 in overtime.
“The way the game was
going, I never felt like it
was over,” Swanigan said.
The next chapter for
Swanigan will be at the
college level and then, possibly, professional basketball. But he won’t soon forget the journey of his senior year.
“I’ll have a lot of memories,” he said. “The way
the team and the school
pulled
together
was
great.”
