FR board hires superintendent
By RAY COONEY
FORT RECOVERY — Justin
Firks spent the spring of 2000 as
a volunteer coach for the Fort
Recovery High School baseball
team. Fifteen years later, he’s
been chosen to lead the entire
school system.
Fort Recovery School Board at
a special meeting Monday
approved hiring Firks as its
next superintendent.
“Fort Recovery, the community and the school system,
they’re built on a commitment
to excellence,” said Firks, who is
Firks will
take over
July 13
currently the principal at Fort
Loramie Junior/Senior High
School. “There’s tremendous
community support.
“You have outstanding teach-
ers. You have great students
here. And for a first-time superintendent, it’s a dream come
true.”
He will take
over for Shelly
Vaughn, who has
served as Fort
Recovery’s superintendent since
2012. She was
hired in March as
Firks
superintendent
of Mercer County
Educational Service Center.
Firks, who got unanimous
approval from school board
members Jose Faller, Ginny
Fortkamp, Dave Hull, Amy Bihn
and Aaron Guggenbiller, will
officially start as superintendent on July 13. He plans to spend
several weeks prior to that
learning under Vaughn, and
said he hopes to draw on the
experience of both Vaughn and
former superintendent Pat
Niekamp.
“He brought a lot of enthusiasm,” said Faller. “He has a program that he came in and presented to us that we were all
pretty excited about … We felt
really good about, and excited
about, somebody bringing those
things to our district.
“We have, we feel like, a
strong school … (and we want
him) to be able to bring in
maybe a few new ideas to maybe
take us to the next level.”
Firks said he believes in
encouraging students to be
involved in athletics, arts or
other school activities in addition to excelling academically.
That focus on developing wellrounded students was one of the
attributes that led to the hiring
decision, said Faller.

Dunkirk to use planning grant
By VIRGINIA CLINE
DUNKIRK — A grant from the
Affordable Housing and Community Development Fund will soon
be available for use in the city.
Dunkirk City Council passed a
resolution Monday allowing
Dunkirk Mayor Dan Watson to
process claims and submit pay-
ments to use the $10,000 planning grant from AHCDF administered by the Indiana Housing
and Community Development
Authority.
The planning grant will be
used to develop a strategic
investment plan for the Stellar
Communities Grant funding in
Dunkirk.
The mayor reminded council
about a visit by Lt. Gov. Sue
Ellspermann at 4 p.m. May 19 at
Webster Depot Park to talk
about the Stellar Communities
program and tour the area.
A project to replace signs in
the city also moved forward
Monday.
Council members Tom John-
son, Jesse Bivens, Judy Garr
and Jack Robbins, absent Lisa
Street, approved $30,000 for the
project that will check all signs
in the city for reflectivity, with
90 percent being reimbursed.
Also approved was $10,000 to
purchase equipment for the
Dunkirk Fire Department.

Nepal hit with
second quake
By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA
and KATY DAIGLE
Associated Press
KATHMANDU, Nepal —
A major earthquake hit a
remote mountain region
of Nepal today, killing at
least 37 people while triggering landslides and toppling buildings less than
three weeks after the
Himalayan nation was ravaged by its worst quake in
decades.
The
magnitude-7.3
quake — centered midway
between the capital of
Kathmandu and Mount
Everest — hit hardest in
districts northeast of the
capital. It terrified a
nation
already
shellshocked and struggling
after a more powerful
quake on April 25 killed
more than 8,150 and flattened entire villages, leaving hundreds of thousands
homeless.
Information was slow to
reach Kathmandu after
today’s quake, but officials
expected the death toll to
rise as reports arrived of
people being buried under
rubble, according to the
U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs.
Nepal’s Home Ministry
reported at least 42 deaths
but later lowered the toll to
37. Meanwhile, it said at
least 1,139 people had been
injured in Nepal. In neighboring India, at least 16
people were confirmed
dead after rooftops or
walls collapsed onto them,
according to India’s Home
Ministry. Chinese media
reported one death in
Tibet.
In Nepal, at least three

Drainage plans for a
major expansion at FCC
Indiana were unanimously approved by the Jay
County Drainage Board
on Monday after being
reviewed by Jay County
Surveyor Brad Daniels.
The board also approved
drainage plans for Green
Valley Ranch LLC, a largescale poultry operation
planned at 2104 E. 300
South.
Green
Valley
Ranch will include five
chicken layer barns, an
egg-processing
facility
and an open egg wash
lagoon.
Daniels told the board
that both the FCC project
and the plans for Green
Valley Ranch meet all
requirements that the
county has in place.
Increased ditch assessments are on the horizon
for a number of county
watersheds. The board
scheduled hearings for
five watersheds where it
believes an increase of
more than 25 percent is
needed and is looking at
raising ditch assessments
in eight other watersheds
by less than 25 percent. If
the increase is less than 25
percent, no hearing is necessary.
The board proposes raising ditch assessments by
$2 an acre and $20 per plot
for the Wehrly, Little Salamonie, Ross and Days
Creek,
Halfway
and
Brooks Creek watersheds.
Hearings on those five
will be held June 22 on the
following
schedule:
Wehrly at 9:15 a.m., Little
Salamonie at 9:30 a.m.,
Ross and Days Creek at
9:45 a.m., Halfway at 10
a.m. and Brooks Creek at
10:15 a.m.
Ditch assessments will
be raised by 50 cents per
acre for the Lupton, Foskuhl, Iris Scholer, Wikel,
M. Luteman, Hotmire Redmond, Goss Switzer and
Beatle watersheds.
Acting as the Jay County Commissioners, Faron
Parr, Doug Inman and Jim
Zimmerman also:
•Approved a new lease
agreement with Jay County Hospital for the Jay
Emergency Medical Service base in Portland.
•Continued to discuss
new regulations to protect
county roads from heavy
equipment traffic.
•Met with representatives from WorkOne and
Lifestream about their
services.
•Discussed holding an
auction to dispose of surplus equipment and furniture.

He added that stressing
strong values was also a
key factor.
Among his goals as a
new superintendent, Firks
listed providing students
with
support
and
resources and being fiscally responsible to taxpayers.
He noted that he looks forward to building relationships with staff, parents,
students and the community.
“My philosophy is every
student every day, no matter what,” Firks said.
“That’s
our
greatest
resource is our students. As
superintendent, I not only
have to support initiatives
that promote student success, but also provide the
necessary resources so that
our students can achieve
and maximize their potential as learners.”
Firks is a 1997 Coldwater
High School graduate who
went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Wright
State University, master’s
degrees from Nova Southeastern University in Florida and Wright State, an
administrative license from
Bowling Green State University and a superinten-
dent’s license from the University of Dayton.
His first teaching job was
as a high school social studies teacher from 2004
through 2007 at New Bremen, where he also served
as baseball coach. He went
on to teaching jobs at Jackson Center, Parkway and
Napoleon before becoming
principal at Fort Loramie
in 2012.
When he was in the
dugout for the Indians 15
years ago, Firks didn’t see
school administration in
his future. He had planned
for a long career as a
teacher and coach.
But he’s now thrilled to
be back with the opportunity to lead the Fort Recovery
Schools.
“I’m just excited to be
here. My family is extreme-
ly excited,” said Firks, who
currently lives in Fort
Loramie but plans to move
to Fort Recovery with his
wife Kimberly and daughters Kendall, 8, Michaela, 6,
and Alyvia, 2. The couple is
expecting its fourth child
in October. “We look forward to the transition. We
want to make Fort Recovery our home for a long,
long time.”

Truth of affairs must be explained to teen
DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced
mother of four. I have been single for three years, since my ex
chose an affair over our marriage. I am successful and manage my home and finances.
I am, however, struggling with
pressure from my ex to get back
together. He had several affairs
during the 13 years we were married. The pain and self-loathing
were unbearable for me. He hasn’t changed. Yet he tells our 14year-old son, “Jackson,” that he
still loves me and “wants only to
be with me.” He also told Jackson that he doesn’t know why I
have chosen to keep our family
broken up.
I moved hundreds of miles to
get away from this stress. I have
a great job and a lovely home. My
Dear
Abby
son stays mad at me, though. He
has chosen to live with his dad,
and when he visits he demands
explanations for why I am not
with them. It breaks my heart. I
genuinely do not know what to
tell him.
His father has already told him
about the affairs, but says I
should forgive him. Ironically, I
DO forgive him. I want my ex to
have a beautiful life — without
me. What can a mother say to her
son to help him understand that
some things just won’t mend? —
MOVED ON IN ALABAMA
DEAR MOVED ON: You would
be doing your son a favor to tell
him the truth. As it stands, he
thinks that a husband having
af fairs is nothing serious
because that’s what his father
has told him.
Now it’s time to tell Jackson
that his father didn’t do this just
once, he did it repeatedly.
Explain that you tried forgiving
him, and it only caused you more
heartache. Tell your son you love
him and you’re sorry he’s angry
at you, but it’s clear that his
father isn’t going to change. And
that you would rather remain
single than let him touch your

It’s easy to wander; stay focused
Nothing ruins the splendor of a
spring afternoon faster than a
serious traffic accident.
Ask any of the officers, EMTs,
or volunteers involved in Friday’s
fatal collision on Indiana 1 just
south of Indiana 26 and they’ll
tell you the same thing: It casts a
grim shadow.
And the contrast is particularly nothing but blue sky as far as the
hard to take on an afternoon with eye could see.
Until.
so much promise, so much to
Until in a heartbeat it all fell
offer. The sun was shining. Wildflowers were blooming. It was apart.
Editorial
Details of every serious traffic
accident vary, but one thing is
constant: Most of them didn’t
have to happen.
They depend upon a series of
“ifs.”
If a driver had not been distracted.
If a driver had not been
impaired.
If a driver had obeyed the
speed limit.
If a corner had been taken
more slowly.
If a vehicle had been properly
maintained.
If they had buckled their seat
belts.
If the rider had been wearing
a helmet.
If drivers had looked both
ways.
And on and on and on.
The fact is, except in those
rare instances when a driver
suffers a heart attack or other
serious health emergency while
at the wheel, almost every traf-
fic accident could be avoided or
at least reduced in terms of its
seriousness.
But it’s also a fact that we live
in a world where drivers are distracted or impaired or don’t
obey traffic laws or look both
ways.
That’s why it’s important for
the rest of us to drive defensively at all times, but especially on
sunny afternoons in springtime
when our minds might momentarily wander. — J.R.
Indiana serves
as an example
By BILL STANCZYKIEWICZ
As the nation prepares to
celebrate Mother’s Day,
families formed through
adoption are more common
in Indiana compared with
other states.
According to the National Council for Adoption
(NCFA), Indiana has the
nation’s fourth highest rate
of adoption per live births,
the ninth highest rate of
adoption per nonmarital
births, and the eleventh
highest rate of adoption
per 100,000 adults.
“Our state’s laws make
Indiana a very adoptionfriendly state,” said Nadja
Radke, a pregnancy and
adoption counselor for St.
Elizabeth Coleman, a
Catholic Charities ministry
that has been serving in
Indiana for 100 years.
Radke explained that the
birth mother’s signature on
the
adoption
consent
decree is final, while the
birth father or other biological family members have
just 30 days after the baby’s
birth to claim custody.
“One of the biggest fears
we hear is that the birth
parents will continue to
meddle,” Radke said. “That
just is not true at all. By the
time the decision has been
made to place the child for
adoption, the birth parent
has made the choice to not
parent the child.”
Between 2009 and 2013,
an annual average of 3,678
children were adopted in
Indiana. Along with domestic adoptions through private agencies or attorneys,
children also can be adopted through the state’s foster
care system as well as internationally. Overall, 2.7 percent of Hoosier children
live in adoptive families.
Adoption often is beneficial for children and adults.
A federal survey of adoptive parents revealed,
“largely positive experiences, with the majority of
adopted children faring
well on measures of physical health, social and emotional well-being, and cognitive development and
educational achievement.”
Adoptive parents also
benefit. NCFA reports that
87 percent would “definitely make the same decision”
to adopt a child.
That is the experience of
pro golf champion Bubba
Watson. He and his wife,
former WNBA player
Angie Watson, have two
adopted children, and the
Watsons
are
leading
NCFA’s national public
relations campaign.
“Angie and I have been
incredibly blessed by the
gift of adoption,” Bubba
Watson said. “It breaks our
hearts to think so many
kids out there don’t have a
family of their own — and
that there are people out
there who might not understand just how awesome
adoption is.”
NCFA recommends that
Bill
Stanczykiewicz
families work with an attorney or agency that is
licensed by the state for
adoption and that the attorney or agency provides the
birth parents with the same
high level of service and
support that is provided to
the adoptive parents. The
council concluded, “The
ability to communicate
promptly and efficiently,
deliver information and
training, provide pre- and
post-placement support,
and remain connected to
clients over the long term
are all hallmarks of a good
agency.”
Meanwhile, prospective
parents who are interested
in adopting through the
state’s foster care system
can start online at:
www.in.gov/dcs and click
on “Adoption.”
Whichever path is chosen — domestic, international or foster care —
Radke says parents will not
be alone on their journey
through adoption. “There
are interviews, a home
study, several hours of
training, awareness of
common challenges, awareness of support services
and other information parents need as they prepare to
adopt.
“We also offer the opportunity for the new family to
be part of a small group of
other adoptive families,
and we let them know that a
counselor always is here to
help after the adoption.”
Federal data reveal that
before 1973, 8.7 percent of
babies born to unwed mothers were placed for adoption. By 2002, the rate had
dropped to just 1 percent.
Radke speculates that single parenting has become
more socially acceptable
during the last four
decades, while teen moms
who were raised in unstable families are less likely
to place their child for adoption because they often
view their baby as a source
of love and stability.
Radke hopes more birth
parents become aware of
the option of adoption and
that more adults develop
interest in becoming adoptive parents.
“We think of adoption as
just another way to parent,” Radke said. “Whether
you have biological children or not, adoption is
another way to build your
family. You’re providing
that safety and stability
that every child needs.”

Progress should be celebrated
By HOLLY BURKHALTER
Special to The Washington Post
The image of a child sex-trafficking victim that most of us carry in
our minds is probably something
like the blurry, black-and-white shot
taken in 2003 of a 5-year-old girl in a
shanty settlement called Svay Pak,
just outside Phnom Penh. The girl’s
name is Taevy. My organization,
International Justice Mission,
obtained the undercover footage
while investigating the commercial
sexual exploitation of children in
Cambodia and collaborated with
“Dateline NBC” to tell the story.
According to a recent broadcast
from CNN’s “Freedom Project,”
Cambodia is still ground zero for the
child sex trade. The report described
Svay Pak’s “big business” of selling
prepubescent girls to foreign
pedophiles for thousands of dollars.
This disturbing narrative was all
too real a dozen years ago, but it’s
not anymore. The truth is that the
Cambodian police dropped the hammer on the criminals who buy and
sell little girls and have virtually
obliterated the crime from the kingdom. There’s now a much better
story to tell: how a poor country
came to protect its children and how
U.S. diplomacy and assistance
helped it do it.
In the early 2000s, the Cambodian
government estimated that 30 percent of those in the country’s sex
industry were children. But news
coverage of Western men negotiating the purchase of first- and second-grade girls in Svay Pak embarrassed Cambodia and revolted its
principal international donor, the
United States. When then-U.S.
Ambassador Charles Ray warned
the interior minister that Cambodia
would lose U.S. aid if it didn’t clean
up its act, the government responded with alacrity. It sacked corrupt
officers from the anti-trafficking
police unit and installed new leadership. A strong anti-trafficking law
was adopted, and hundreds of
pimps, brothel owners and foreign
pedophiles were arrested, charged,
convicted and jailed.
Over the next decade, International Justice Mission trained and mentored 500 officers in the anti-trafficking police unit and collaborated on
Holly
Burkhalter
hundreds of child sex slavery cases.
With every case, police investigations, witness protection and evidence collection improved. Childfriendly processes were adopted by
the courts, and the government welcomed nongovernmental organizations providing shelter and aid to
rescued girls.
To gauge the impact of these
measures, we conducted assessments of child sexual exploitation
throughout Cambodia in 2012 and
again this past March. In the three
years between the studies, the proportion of minors in commercial
sex establishments declined by nearly three-quarters, from 8.2 percent to
2.2 percent. The proportion of those
age 15 or younger declined even
more, to just 0.1 percent.
Is it possible to buy a Cambodian
child for sexual exploitation? Yes,
and unfortunately it does occasionally occur. But someone wishing to
do so would have to overcome
extreme obstacles and even then
face a high risk of apprehension and
a stiff prison sentence.
Meanwhile, the strong law
enforcement platform that has put
sex traffickers to flight provides a
sturdy foundation for addressing
labor trafficking. Cambodia is a
source of labor for neighboring
countries, where exploitation and
slavery are distressingly common.
Cambodian diplomats are pursuing
cross-border agreements to enhance
apprehension of perpetrators and
safe repatriation.
The U.S. government itself played
a considerable role in Cambodia’s
transformation. The U.S. Agency for
International Development provided millions of dollars to professionalize the anti-trafficking police and
improve care for victims. Vigorous
diplomacy was crucial: The prospect
of being demoted to Tier III pariah
status in the State Department’s

annual Trafficking in Persons
report strengthened Cambodian
reformers and marginalized corrupt
holdouts.
Ironically, however, the State
Department has been reluctant to
acknowledge Cambodia’s extraordinary progress. The annual trafficking report still includes references
to young-child exploitation that
haven’t been true for many years.
And Cambodia has been held on the
Tier II Watch List since 2013. Some
anti-trafficking officials are pushing
for Cambodia to stay on that list for
another year — an indignity that is
inappropriate given the progress
that has been made, a tour de force
unequaled in the region.
In the past 12 years, more than
1,000 girls have been rescued from
sexual exploitation in Cambodia.
One of them is little Taevy, whose
future is bright. The future has also
brightened for all of Cambodia’s
girls, who today are vastly less likely
to be preyed upon and sold. It’s time
to celebrate that story, to replicate it
and to stay committed to Cambodia
so that these gains are sustained.

Shell drilling plan gains approval
By MARK THIESSEN
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska —
Royal Dutch Shell’s Arctic
drilling program has cleared a
major bureaucratic hurdle to
begin drilling for oil and gas off
Alaska’s northwestern coast this
summer.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management
on
Monday
approved the multi-year exploration plan in the Chukchi Sea
for Shell after reviewing thousands of comments from the
public, Alaska Native organizations and state and federal agencies.
The approval came just days
before a planned protest of the
drilling program in Seattle.
Shell must still obtain other
permits from state and federal
agencies, including one to drill
from the Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement.
Both BOEM and BSEE are agencies of the U.S. Department of
Interior. The company must also
obtain government opinions that
Associated Press/seattlepi.com/Daniella Beccaria
In this April 17 file photo, with the Olympic Mountains
in the background, a small boat crosses in front of an oil drilling
rig as it arrives in Port Angeles, Wash., aboard a transport ship
after traveling across the Pacific. Royal Dutch Shell hopes to
use the rig for exploratory drilling during the summer open-water
season in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast.
find Shell can comply with terms
and conditions of the Endangered Species Act.
Shell spokesman Curtis Smith
said the approval “is an impor-
tant milestone and signals the
confidence regulators have in
our plan. However, before operations can begin this summer, it’s
imperative that the remainder of
our permits be practical, and
delivered in a timely manner.
“In the meantime, we will continue to test and prepare our contractors, assets and contingency
plans against the high bar stakeholders and regulators expect of
an Arctic operator,” Smith said in
an email to The Associated Press.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management’s director, Abigail
Ross Hopper, said in a statement
that officials recognize “the significant environmental, social
and ecological resources in the
region” and have established
“high standards for the protection of this critical ecosystem,
our Arctic communities, and the
subsistence needs and cultural
traditions of Alaska Natives.”
“As we move forward, any offshore exploratory activities will
continue to be subject to rigorous
safety standards,” she said.
The Port of Seattle would need
to get another permit to base the
Arctic drilling fleet in Seattle for
about six months of the year.
Meanwhile, Smith said that a
giant floating oil rig currently
anchored off Port Angeles, Washington, will be towed to Seattle
this week despite the Seattle
mayor’s assertion that the Port of
Seattle can’t host the rig until it
gets a new land-use permit.
Smith said in another email
that the 400-foot-long Polar Pioneer was scheduled to arrive at
the Port of Seattle’s Terminal 5
“later in the week” to prepare for
planned exploration in the Arctic
Ocean.
Smith said his company
believes its arrangements to use
the terminal are valid and disagrees with Seattle’s interpretation.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has
urged the port to reconsider its
two-year, $13 million lease with
Foss Maritime, a company whose
client is Shell.
Activists plan to protest. A socalled “festival of resistance”
starts Saturday and will include
protesters on land and in kayaks,
trying to block the ship’s movements.
Bird flu found
at Whitley farm
COLUMBIA CITY, Ind.
(AP) — Bird flu has been
found in a backyard poultry flock in northeastern
Indiana, and it’s the first
time the specific strain in
question has been detected
in the central U.S., animal
health officials said Monday.
The H5N8 virus found in
Whitley County is different
from the H5N2 virus that
has led to the loss of more
than 30 million chickens,
turkeys and other birds
since March in 13 states,
including Minnesota and
Wisconsin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.
Some birds in the Whitley County flock of 77
ducks, geese, chickens,
turkeys and other species
have died, the agency said.
The remaining birds were
removed, the Indiana State
Board of Animal Health
said.
The board said it was
checking with nearby poultry owners to see if the disease has spread. The board
said it is coordinating with
the USDA, the Indiana
State Poultry Association
and the Indiana Animal
Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in responding to the
disease.
Indiana is a leading poultry-producing
state,
nationally ranked first in
the production of ducks
and fourth in turkeys.
The board encourages
backyard poultry owners
to watch for signs of bird
flu and report illnesses and
deaths to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Signs
include sudden death, lack
of energy or appetite,
decreased and misshapen
egg production; nasal discharge, coughing, sneezing
and diarrhea.
Bird flu doesn’t affect the
safety of eating eggs or
poultry and poses little
risk to humans. No human
infections with the virus
have been detected, the
USDA said.
Bird flu can be carried
by free-flying waterfowl
such as ducks, geese and
shorebirds. The occurrence in Whitley County
west of Fort Wayne is the
first time the H5N8 strain
has been detected in the
Mississippi flyway for
migrating birds over the
central U.S. The H5N8
strain previously had only
been confirmed in the
Pacific flyway after being
detected in Oregon and
Washington.
Hit ...
Rescue helicopters were
sent to mountain districts
where landslides and collapsed buildings may have
buried people, the government said. Home Ministry
official Laxmi Dhakal said
the Sindhupalchowk and
Dolkha districts were the
worst hit.
Search parties fanned
out to look for survivors in
the wreckage of collapsed
buildings in Sindhulpalchowk’s town of Chautara,
which had become a hub
for humanitarian aid after
the magnitude-7.8 earthquake on April 25, Nepal’s
worst-recorded quake since
1934.
Nepal was left reeling by
the April 25 quake. The
impoverished
country
appealed for billions of dollars in aid from foreign
nations, as well as medical
experts to treat the wounded and helicopters to ferry
food and temporary shelters to hundreds of thousands left homeless amid
unseasonal rains.
Today’s quake was deeper, however, coming from a
depth of 18.5 kilometers
(11.5 miles) versus the earlier one at 15 kilometers (9.3
miles). Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more
damage.
Today’s quake was followed closely by at least 10
strong aftershocks, according to the U.S. Geological
Survey.
Early reports indicated
at least two buildings had
collapsed in Kathmandu,
though at least one had
been unoccupied due to
damage it sustained during
the April 25 quake. Experts
say the April 25 quake
caused extensive structural
damage even in buildings
that did not topple, and that
many could be in danger of
future collapse.
Frightened residents in
the capital, who had
returned to their homes
only a few days ago, were
once again setting up tents
outdoors tonight with plans
to sleep in empty fields,
parking lots and on sidewalks.
“Everyone was saying
the earthquakes are over ...
Now I don’t want to believe
anyone,” said 40-year-old
produce vendor Ram Hari
Sah as he searched for a
spot to pitch the orange tarpaulin his family would
shelter in. “We are all
scared, we are terrified. I
would rather deal with
mosquitoes and the rain
than sleep in the house.”
Extra police officers were
sent to patrol ad-hoc camping areas, while drinking
water and extra tents were
being provided, according
to Kathmandu administrator Ek Narayan Aryal.
“I thought I was going to
die this time,” said Sulav
Singh, who rushed with his
daughter into a street in the
suburban neighborhood of
Thapathali. “Things were
just getting back to normal,
and we get this one.”
Paul Dillon, a spokesman
with the International
Organization for Migration, said he saw a man in
Kathmandu
who
had
apparently run from the
shower with shampoo covering his head. “He was sitting on the ground, crying,”
Dillon said.
Meanwhile, new landslides blocked mountain
roads in the district of
Gorkha, one of the regions
most damaged by the April
25 quake, while previously
damaged buildings collapsed with the latest
quake.

outlooks
often
change
By RAY COONEY
It’s here already.
While the winter sports
season spans more than
four months from early
November to mid-March,
the spring zips by in a
hurry. Six weeks and the
regular-season is over.
So we already find ourselves at tournament time.
But postseason prospects
can change, even in such a
short season.
Let’s take a look at three
area teams whose outlooks
are a little better than
might have been expected.
JCHS boys golf
The Patriots are certainly not the favorites to win
the sectional tournament
hosted by Monroe Central
at Hickory Hills Golf
Course. That distinction
belongs to eighth-ranked
Yorktown with Muncie
Central as the likely runner-up.
Though JCHS has lost to
sectional rivals Delta and
Wapahani this year, it has
recently proven it can compete at a high level as four
golfers shot 44 or better in a
four-team match May 5 at
Whispering Creek Golf
Club. It should be aiming
for the third and final
regional-qualifying position.

NFL punishes Brady, Patriots
By JIMMY GOLEN
AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom
Brady and the New England Patriots are preparing for a fight.
The reigning Super Bowl MVP
will appeal his four-game suspension, his agent said, and the team
threw its “unconditional” support
behind its quarterback after the
NFL came down hard on its
biggest star in the “Deflategate”
scandal.
“Tom Brady has our unconditional support,” Patriots owner
Bob Kraft said in a statement
issued on Monday night. “Our
belief in him has not wavered.”
Five days after an NFL investigator reported that it was “more
probable than not” that the Patriots broke the rules, the league
handed down its punishment:
Brady was banished for four
games, and the Patriots were
penalized $1 million — matching
the largest fine in league history —
and docked two draft picks for
using improperly inflated footballs
in the AFC Championship game.
NFL executive vice president of
football operations Troy Vincent
also indefinitely suspended the
two equipment staffers who carried out the plan, including the one
who referred to himself in text
messages obtained by the league
as “The Deflator.”
In letters to the team and Brady,
Vincent wrote that the league’s
investigation found “substantial
and credible evidence” that the
quarterback knew the employees
were deflating footballs. It also said

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady speaks at a news conference about the
NFL investigation into deflated footballs, Jan. 22, in Foxborough, Mass. It was announced Monday
that Brady would be suspended for the first four games of the season.
he failed to cooperate with investigators.
The investigation by attorney
Ted Wells found that Brady “was at
least generally aware” of plans by
two Patriots employees to prepare
the balls to his liking, below the
league-mandated minimum of 12.5
pounds per square inch.
“Each player, no matter how
accomplished and otherwise
respected, has an obligation to
comply with the rules,” Vincent
wrote, “and must be held accountable for his actions when those
rules are violated and the public’s
confidence in the game is called
into question.”
Unless the suspension is overturned on appeal, Brady would
Warriors tie series
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Steve Kerr
challenged his Golden State Warriors to
ratchet up the intensity to playoff-level.
With MVP Stephen Curry leading the way,
they responded and looked like the team
that cruised through the regular season.
Curry scored 21 of his 33 points by halftime, and the Warriors snapped their twogame skid Monday night by routing the
Memphis Grizzlies 101-84 to tie the Western Conference semifinals at 2-2.
“Tonight we took a step towards understanding that sense of urgency and kind of
competitiveness and physicality to the
game,” Kerr said. “It was probably our
most competitive effort, definitely of the
series, but probably of the playoffs just in
terms of understanding you got to play
every second.”
The Warriors hadn’t lost three straight
The Indians were expected to be good, but how good
was unclear given a couple
of key losses to graduation.
But they didn’t miss a step,
winning their first 17
games before stumbling
against Minster.
FRHS was ranked No. 1
for most of the season
before falling to No. 4 this
week. The polls no longer
matter, however, and the

games all season, and they never came
close as they took back home-court advantage. Curry hadn’t scored more than 23
points in a game in this series, and he nearly had that by halftime.
Draymond Green had 16 points and 10
rebounds for the Warriors while Klay
Thompson had 15 points, Harrison Barnes
12 and Andre Iguodala 11.
“We set the tone the first quarter and
kept the foot on the gas pedal the whole
way, and that’s how we play,” Curry said.
Marc Gasol had 19 points and 10
rebounds for Memphis while Zach Randolph had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Mike
Conley finished with 10 points and seven
assists but was 4 of 15 from the field. Memphis pulled its starters with 3:00 left.
Game 5 is Wednesday night at Golden
State.
Chapman fails in ninth
first run he had allowed all
season.
It’s only the third time in
his career that Chapman
has lost consecutive games.
He did it twice during 2012.
“They’re putting the ball
in play, in the air or
through the infield,” manager Bryan Price said.
“They’re not doing a lot of
extra-base damage.”
Gosselin singled up the
middle on a 100 mph pitch
and took second base when
Nick Markakis singled on a
98 mph fastball. Noticing
that Chapman was slow in
his delivery, Gosselin stole
third.
“They take advantage of
a slow delivery, which is
something we have to work
on,” Price said. “We can’t
afford to just give up third
base in that situation.”
With one out and Freddie
Freeman at bat, Chapman
threw a 103 mph fastball
that sailed off the end of
Tucker Barnhart’s mitt
and went to the backstop,
allowing Gosselin to score
easily.
“I’ve got to catch that
ball, it’s that simple,” Barnhart said. “Whether 110,
120 (mph), it doesn’t matter.
It’s got to be caught.”
Left-hander Luis Avilan
(1-0) retired all three batters in the eighth. Jim
Johnson gave up a single in
the ninth while getting his
second save in three
chances.
