The final plan is in.
Local officials on Monday turned in Dunkirk’s
final strategic plan for
Indiana’s Stellar Communities program. The
deadline for plans to be
handed over to the state
is today.
The 70-page plan is one
of the last steps in what
has been a three-year
process for the city in
attempting to earn grant
funding for a variety of
improvement projects.
Dunkirk, one of two
finalists along with
North Liberty in the
division for communities with a population
of fewer than 6,000,
touts itself as a do-ityourself city that is
ready to be an example
of what can be accomplished when a community comes together to
strive
for
common
goals.
“Dunkirk will serve
as an example of how to
make a plan, develop
partnerships, use local
resources and never let
go
of
community
goals,” states the plan’s
cover letter signed by
Mayor Dan Watson and
Jay County director of
community
development Ami Huffman.
“We are eager to show
how becoming a Stellar
Community will turbo
boost the programs we
already have in place.”
In addition to the
three largest parts of
the plan — moving the
library and glass museum to the Stewart
Brothers
Building,
building a senior housing complex and downtown lighting with Safe
Routes to School — it
expands to include a
variety of complementary projects to be completed with local funding. Those include a
pedestrian trail along
Highland Avenue, making wifi connectivity
available
downtown,
demolishing the current
library and glass museum, painting a mural on
the Weaver Building
and creating a “Message
in a Bottle” feature.

Despite heavy rainfall
and flooding throughout
Portland and Jay County,
the Jay County Fair hasn’t been washed out.
Jay County Fair Board
president Rob Weaver
said today that all fair
activities, including the
midway, are set to begin
on schedule.
“Everything is still on
right now,” he said.
“We’re good at the
moment.”
Inclement
weather
does pose a possible
threat to the fair, but it
seems unlikely that it
would cause any cancellations, he said. He
expects
the
midway,
along with the other
attractions, to be set up
and to open on schedule.
“I don’t see (weather)
being an issue,” he said,
mentioning that the
board has until Thursday
to change the decision on
whether or not to open
the midway. He said the
likelihood of closing it
would,
however,
be
incredibly low.
Fair events begin at the
Show Arena on Sunday,
with the dog show at
noon, rabbit show at 1
p.m. and beef and beef
feeder show at 7 p.m. The
horse and pony halter
show will be at the Horse
Arena at 7 p.m.
The midway, grandstand and other fair
activities will open Monday. The midway will
open at 5 p.m. with a ridea-thon, and at 7 p.m. there
will be hog wrestling at
the grandstand.
The fair will close July
11, with a final ride-athon taking place from
noon to 9 p.m.

Plane crashes in Indonesia
By BINSAR BAKKARA
Associated Press
MEDAN, Indonesia — An
Indonesian air force transport
plane carrying military personnel and their families plowed into
a residential neighborhood in the
country’s third-largest city of
Medan shortly after takeoff
today, killing more than 70.
Rescue teams were using heavy
machinery to remove the mangled wreckage of the C-130 Hercules as they searched the rubble
of a building shattered by the
impact.
Air force spokesman Rear Marshal Dwi Badarmanto said 74
bodies have been recovered so far.
He said about 30 of the dead have
been identified and include air
force personnel and members of
their families.
Air force officials say there
may have been more than 100 people on the C-130. They say there is
little hope of finding survivors.
Air force chief Air Marshall
Agus Supriatna said there were
12 crew and more than 100 passengers on the plane before it
reached Medan on Sumatra, one
of Indonesia’s main islands. It
had traveled from the capital,
Jakarta, and stopped at two locations before arriving at Medan.
The air force is trying to determine how many people got off or
boarded during that journey.
Many passengers were families
of military personnel.

Court approves commissions
By BRADEN PELLEY
TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS — The U.S.
Supreme Court paved the way
Monday for Indiana and other
states to use independent commissions to draw legislative and
congressional district maps.
The nation’s highest court
ruled that the U.S. Constitution’s
elections clause allows a state to
use a commission, even if it
operates outside the legislature,
to establish congressional districts.
Indiana lawmakers are studying that issue this summer with
the aim of creating an independent commission before the next
redistricting occurs in 2021.
The court’s decision came in a
case out of Arizona, where vot-
ers used a ballot initiative
process to create a commission.
The legislature sued, challenging the maps the commission
created for the 2012 congressional elections, saying that the constitution requires state legislatures to approve the maps.
But in a 5-4 decision, the court
on Monday disagreed.

It said disallowing
the commission would
“run up against the
Constitution’s animating principle that the
people themselves are
the originating source
of all the powers of
government.”
The goal of independent commissions
is try to take the politics and gerrymandering out of the redistricting process and
therefore lessen the
ability of a majority
political party to draw
maps that help keep
them in power.
“The process will
ultimately take the
process away from the
legislature,” said Julia
Vaughn, policy director for Common Cause
Indiana, “and put it in
the hands of voters.”
In Indiana, a commission would need
approval from the
General
Assembly
because the state doesn’t have a ballot initiative process as Arizona does. The legislature must approve district lines for the state
House and Senate
every 10 years.

Man needs background info, DNA test
DEAR ABBY: I recently
received a Facebook message
from a 47-year-old mother of four
who believes she is my daughter.
While I do not remember her
mother and have communicated
this to the woman, the pictures
she sent of her children somewhat resemble my family.
I’m happily married with two
sons, and my wife is aware of
this and will support any decision I make. I’m conflicted about
the choices before me and the
impact they may have on her
family and mine. What is the
right thing to do? — CONFLICTED IN FLORIDA
DEAR CONFLICTED: Try to
get a little more backg round
from the woman about her mother. For instance, WHY does she
think you are her father? Were
you and her mother ever in the
Dear
Abby
same place at the same time? If
there is a possibility that you
could be her dad, the ethical
thing to do would be to let her
know that your attorney will be
contacting her to arrange a DNA
test.
DEAR ABBY: Please tell me
what to say to persuade my
friend to stop driving up in front
of my house and honking his
horn. I have asked him twice not
to do it, but it continues.
It may seem like a small thing
to him, but I think it’s disrespectful to me for him to toot his horn
like I’m supposed to come running out. A more courteous
approach would be to call me and
say he’s near, or to ring the doorbell when he arrives. Am I being
old-fashioned? — EXPECTS
RESPECT IN CHARLOTTE, N.C.
DEAR EXPECTS: No. In light
of the fact that you have asked
this person more than once not to
do this, he is rude. In addition,
when a driver honks his or her
horn repeatedly in a residential
neighborhood, the noise can be
disruptive to your neighbors.
DEAR ABBY: I recently
phoned one of my mother’s best
friends, “Edna,” to wish her a
happy birthday. It was her 101st.
When I asked her about her family, she spent some time sobbing
over the recent news that her eld-
est son has cancer.
My first thought — and that of
several others — was, why was
she told?! Edna is frail and in
poor health. She has seen her
share of tragedies and losses in
her long life, and I think she
should have been spared this devastating news.
Hearing her sob on her birthday broke my heart. However, a
couple of my friends disagreed
with me. They thought she ought
to know. Your thoughts on this
would be appreciated. — WONDERING IN THE WEST
DEAR WONDERING: There
are no hard-and-fast rules that
apply to these situations.
Although Edna may no longer be
able to live independently, her
thinking may be clear and she is
still the matriarch of the family.
When you withhold information
from someone, even if it’s wellintentioned, it isolates the person. Because the conversation
upset you to such an extent that
you felt you had to write to me,
my thought is you should let
Edna’s children know what happened.

Display a little common courtesy
Apparently it’s time for a
review of common sense and
courtesy when it comes to
heavy rains and high water.
Here goes:
•While it’s cool that your 4wheel drive vehicle can go
through high water, don’t be a
jackass. Plowing through flooded streets might feel like fun to
the driver, but it’s a pain in the
neck for property owners on
either side of the street. Much
of the threat to residential
neighborhoods and downtown
businesses comes from the
waves churned up by motorists
who thought it might be neat to
make a splash. It’s boorish
behavior, and it damages the
property of others. Cut it out.
Editorial
•When you encounter high
water signs, don’t ignore them.
They are there for a reason,
and the reason is to send you in
a different direction. Most
deaths
and
flood-related
injuries are a result of people
ignoring high water signs and
driving blithely ahead into the
mess.
•Emergency officials are
going to have their hands full
anyway, so don’t do anything
foolish that would make you
need to be rescued. (See the
paragraph directly above.)
•Keep away from the banks
of streams and rivers, and be
sure to keep your kids away.
Sure, a roaring river can be a
pretty amazing sight. You don’t
want it to be your last. Keep
your distance.
•Don’t tie up police and emergency phone lines with silly,
trivial requests or questions.
They are busy.
•Watch out for pedestrians. If
you are having trouble getting
across town because of flooded
streets, imagine how tough it is
to get around on foot. The last
thing these people need is to be
Most flood-related deaths and
injuries are a result of people

blithely ahead into the mess.
splashed or endangered by
sight-seers and rubber-neckers.
If you are driving in these conditions, take extra care to
watch out for those on foot, on
bikes, and on motorcycles.
•Keep an eye on your neighbors’ property, and if someone
needs your help sandbagging,
volunteer. That’s what you
would want them to do if the
tables were turned. — J.R.

Decisions may help the GOP
By JOHN KRULL
TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS — Many conservatives now would like to firebomb
the U.S. Supreme Court.
The nation’s highest court issued
two historic decisions, back to back,
that enraged the most partisan and
ideological members of the American right.
The first came Thursday morning with a 6-3 decision upholding
the Affordable Care Act — otherwise known as Obamacare. This
was the second time Republicans
had tried an end-around the political process by using the courts. It
failed.
Worse, the ruling made it clear
that the court wasn’t likely to smile
upon any more Hail Mary attempts
by conservatives who want to overturn a law they couldn’t defeat in
Congress or at the polling place.
The reaction from conservatives
ranged from rage to fury.
Justice Antonin Scalia — who
now apparently issues temper
tantrums rather than opinions —
blasted the decision in a dissent
that went well beyond choleric.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Indiana
Senate President Pro Tempore
David Long, R-Fort Wayne, and
other Hoosier GOP leaders issued
statements blasting the decision.
That was Thursday.
On Friday, the Supreme Court
came down, 5-4, in favor of gay marriage. That means same-sex marriage now is legal in all 50 states —
and will continue to be so from now
on.
Again, the response from many
Republicans was vitriolic.
They focused much of their ire on
Chief Justice John Roberts, who
wrote the majority opinion in the
health care decision.
“Turncoat” was about the nicest
thing conservatives had to say
about Roberts. They argued Roberts
had betrayed both the Republican
Party that nurtured him and the
John
Krull
conservative cause that was supposed to sustain him.
In truth, with these two decisions,
Roberts and the Supreme Court
likely saved the Republican Party.
The GOP had marched itself into
what was at best a cul-de-sac and at
worst might have been a political
dead end.
Just a couple of days before the
health-care decision, I talked with
U.S. Rep. Larry Bucshon, R-Indiana.
Bucshon is a doctor by training. He
opposed the Affordable Care Act
and was first elected to Congress on
the strength of conservative anger
about health care reform.
When we chatted, Bucshon first
ran through the typical GOP talking
points about Obamacare, but, that
done, shifted gears.
He discussed the upcoming
Supreme Court ruling on ACA and
didn’t sound optimistic about the
chances it would be struck down.
More important, the subtext of his
analysis was that it might not be
such a great thing for the GOP if it
were struck down.
If the key component of the ACA
were knocked down, the Republican-controlled Congress would have
had to figure out how to extend
health insurance to millions of
Americans who just had it stripped
away from them. If the GOP couldn’t do that, the political consequences for Republicans would have
been severe.
That’s why many Republicans
who expressed public outrage over
the decision sighed with relief
about it in private.
The situation with same-sex mar-
riage was similar. A majority of voters under the age of 50 support
same-sex unions — and many of
them see it as the defining issue
when it comes to their political allegiances.
The longer the GOP opposed
same-sex marriage, the longer the
party would be chasing away coming generations of voters.
But, more to the point, the court
may have preserved the intellectual
and ideological underpinnings of
the conservative movement.
Linda Greenhouse of The New
York Times did a brilliant analysis
of the health-care ruling. In it, she
noted that, in his majority opinion,
Roberts used Scalia’s words against
him. Again and again, Roberts quoted Scalia’s arguments in earlier
decisions — many of them about
respecting the political process and
limiting judicial overreach — to
slap down Scalia’s opposition to
ACA.
In short, Roberts used conservative arguments to rebut conservative opposition to health care
reform.
And, in the same-sex marriage
ruling, the court placed limits on
government’s power to define and
limit people’s intimate arrangements — what normally would be a
classic conservative position.
Again, the court saved conservatism from conservatives.
Republicans may rage against the
nation’s highest bench now, but,
some day, they likely will send
thank you notes to the Roberts
Supreme Court.
If nothing else, the court put a
stop to the GOP’s bleeding.

The “Message in a Bottle” is
an effort to build on Dunkirk’s
strong connection with the glass
industry and give the city a
tourist draw similar to Alexandria’s “World’s Largest Ball of
Paint” or Milltown’s “Shoe
Tree.” It would involve a “giant”
glass bottle in which passers by
could place messages that
include their thoughts, wishes
and dreams, which could then be
shared via Twitter and other
outlets.
The idea, the plan notes, is
that “Just as the City of Dunkirk
has … put its hopes and dreams
into glass, everyone will be able
to put theirs into our glass bottle
in hopes it will grow with ours.”

Complied
VIENNA — Iran

key condition of ongoing nuclear talks by
significantly reducing
its
stockpile
of
enriched
uranium
that could be used for

weapons,
diplomats said today.
Its failure to do so
would have severely
undermined the U.S.
and other powers trying to clinch a longterm nuclear accord
with Tehran over the
next several days.
The news came as
the State Department
announced the extension of an interim
nuclear
agreement
that was set to expire
tonight, the original
deadline for a final
deal. The preliminary
measures have been
prolonged to July 7 “to
allow more time for
negotiations to reach
a long-term solution
... on the Iran nuclear
issue,” spokeswoman
Marie Harf said.

visit someplace for,” said Huffman, noting that the “Message
in a Bottle” will work together
with the mural on the east side
of Main Street just south of
Railroad Street. “It kind of ties
all of that together. Cleaning
that up makes a big difference.”
The key points of Dunkirk’s
plan remain unchanged, with
the largest portion of requested
funding at $5.18 million in tax
credits from Indiana Housing
and Community Development
Authority for the Crown Crossing Senior Housing Development that the city has been
working toward with Buckeye
Community Hope Foundation of
Columbus, Ohio. It is also asking
for $2.06 million from Indiana
Department of Transportation
for lighting and Safe Routes to
School and $1.84 million from
the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs to renovate
the Stewart Brothers Building
on Main Street downtown and
make it the new site of the city’s
library and glass museum.
Those numbers have changed
from previous steps in the
process because of modifications in funding formulas.
The city’s plan also highlights
the fact that the city, through
Dunkirk Industrial Development Corporation, has control
of all of the sites involved in the
proposed projects. It includes
detailed drawings of each project as well a detailed budget for
bringing the projects to fruition.
State officials will have about
a month to review the plan
before about 15 of them will visit
Dunkirk from 1 to 4 p.m. July 30.
That visit, which will include a
question-and-answer
session
and a tour of the sites of the proposed projects — is the final step
in the Stellar selection process.
“We’ve got a lot to do to make
sure that goes well,” said Watson. “It’s just going to be critical
that we put our best foot forward. We should be able to
answer all the questions they
ask us, but we’ll need people
downtown. … That’s what’s
going to sell the whole thing, I
think.”
The state will announce its
Stellar selections Aug. 17 at the
Indiana State Fair.
Dunkirk had applied for the
Stellar designation, which
includes funding opportunities
from a variety of state agencies,
in both 2013 and 2014 but failed
to make the finalist list. The
third time proved to be the
charm, as the city was selected
as a finalist in April.
Portland was a finalist for the
Stellar designation in 2011 when
North Vernon and Greencastle
were selected as winners. Other
Stellar
communities
were
Princeton and Delphi in 2012,
Richmond and Bedford in 2013
and Huntingburg and Wabash in
2014.
Watson believes Dunkirk is
ready to join that list.
“I feel good,” he said. “I think
it’s a slam dunk, I really do. …
We’re ready.”
Crashes ...
Continued from page 1
Hitching rides on military planes to reach
remote destinations is
common in Indonesia, a
sprawling archipelago
that spans three time
zones.
Indonesia has a patchy
civil aviation safety
record and its cashstrapped air force has
also suffered a string of
accidents. Between 2007
and 2009, the European
Union barred Indonesian
airlines from flying to
Europe because of safety
concerns. The country’s
most recent civilian airline disaster was in
December, when an AirAsia jet with 162 people on
board crashed into the
Java Sea en route from
Surabaya to Singapore.
There have been five fatal
crashes involving air
force planes since 2008,
according to the Aviation
Safety Network, which
tracks aviation disasters.
The crash of the transport plane, which had
been in service since
1964, occurred not long
before midday and just
two minutes after it took
off from Soewondo air
force base.
Supriatna, the air force
chief, said the pilot told
the control tower that the
plane needed to turn
back because of engine
trouble.
“The plane crashed
while it was turning
right to return to the airport,” he said.
Medan resident Fahmi
Sembiring said he saw
the gray Hercules flying
very low as he was driving.
“Flames and black
smoke were coming from
the plane in the air,” he
said.
Sembiring said he
stopped not far from the
crash site and saw sever-

Rescuers search for victims today at the site where an Indonesian Air Force cargo plane
crashed in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The C-130 Hercules plane crashed into a residential
neighborhood in the country's third-largest city.
al people rescued by
police, security guards
and bystanders.
Another man, Janson
Halomoan Sinagam, said
several of his relatives
were on the plane when it
left Medan.
“We just want to know
their fate,” he told
MetroTV, weeping. “But
we have not yet received
any information from the
hospital.”
The C-130 accident is
the second time in 10
years that an airplane
has crashed into a Medan
neighborhood. In September 2005, a Mandala
Airlines
Boeing
737
crashed into a crowded
residential community
shortly after takeoff from
Medan’s Polonia airport,
killing 143 people including 30 on the ground.
Medan, with about 3.4
million people, is the
third most populous city
in Indonesia after Jakarta and Surabaya.
On Twitter, President
Joko “Jokowi” Widodo
said he and his family
extend “heartfelt condolences” to the families of
victims.
After the emergency
response is complete, the
government will evaluate
the age of air force
planes and other important military equipment,
he said.
Aviation analyst Gerry
Soejatman said numerous nonfatal accidents
involving air force planes
this year are worrying
and suggest there could
be shortfalls in areas
such as training.
Previously, the air
force’s safety record was
marred by low flight
hours and parts shortages that stemmed from a
U.S. ban on defense sales
to Indonesia, but that situation no longer applies
with the lifting of those
restrictions more than
five years ago.
Report faults police action
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Police antagonized crowds gathered to protest in Ferguson, violated free-speech rights and made
it difficult to hold officers accountable,
according to a U.S. Department of Justice
report summary obtained by the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
The summary cited “vague and arbitrary” orders to keep protesters moving
that violated their rights of assembly and
free speech. It is part of a longer “after-
action” report to be delivered this week to
top police officials in Ferguson, St. Louis
city and county and the Missouri State
Highway Patrol.
The summary suggests that unrest that
followed the shooting of 18-year-old
Michael Brown was aggravated by the
community’s hostility toward Ferguson
police and worsened when authorities didn’t quickly divulge details of his death, the
newspaper reported today.
Greece hoping
for a new plan
By ELENA BECATOROS
and RAF CASERT
Associated Press
ATHENS, Greece —
Greece and its European
creditors are to discuss a
last-minute proposal by
Athens for a new two-year
rescue deal, submitted just
hours before the country’s
international
bailout
expires and it loses access
to billions of euros of
European funds.
At midnight central
Europe-time, the country is
also set to become the first
developed nation to not pay
its debts to the International Monetary Fund on time,
as Greece sinks deeper into
a financial emergency that
has forced it put a nationwide lockdown on money
withdrawals.
The crisis worsened over
the weekend after Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras
called a referendum for
Sunday on creditors’ proposals for reforms in
return for bailout loans.
That increased fears the
country could soon fall out
of the euro currency bloc
and Greeks rushed to pull
money out of ATMS.
Tsipras is advocating a
“no” vote.
Greece’s latest offer
involves a proposal to tap
Europe’s bailout fund —
the so-called European Stability Mechanism, a pot of
money set up after Greece’s
rescue programs to help
countries in need.
The prime minister’s
office said the proposal was
“for the full coverage of
(Greece’s) financing needs
with the simultaneous
restructuring of the debt,”
but provided no further
details.

Krieger

German
insight
By ANNE M. PETERSON
AP Sports Writer
MONTREAL — The Germans are going to have to
be vigilant about giving
too much away with their
on-field chatter on Tuesday night. Defender Ali
Krieger will be listening.
Top-ranked Germany
faces the United States in
the semifinals at the
Women’s World Cup at
Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
Krieger is fluent in German, stemming from a
long stint with FFC Frankfurt of the first division
women’s Bundesliga. She
also knows many of the
team’s players and is
familiar with their play.
“Germany is where I
had to become a true professional,” Krieger said.
“They play in big games
when they are young. We
could model some of our
soccer system after what
they do.”
That makes Germany a
tough opponent.
“They’re very good onev-one attacking,” Krieger
said. “They can shoot from
anywhere. And they’re
very good in the air.”
Midfielder
Morgan
Brian was on the team that
lost to Germany in the
group stage of the under20 Women’s World Cup, but
came back to beat the Germans in the final. Some of
the players she faced are
now with the German
national team.
“It takes an organized
team to defend Germany,”
Brian said. “They’re so
good on the ball, and in
tight spaces.”
Germany has a lot to
prove: Not only is the team
seeking its third World
Cup title and first since
2007, but the Germans are
still stinging from failing
to make the final four
years ago at home. The
United States has also won
two World Cup titles, but
its last was in 1999.
“Every tournament’s
different. Obviously, we’re
just concerned about this
game and winning and
being successful and beating the best team in the
world,” Krieger said.
and a single. Emily Byrum,
Kylie Morningstar and Brianna Randall all had one hit
apiece.
Frontline wins
Top-seeded Frontline Construction knocked off Crossroads Financial Federal Credit

Renna Schwieterman and
AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI — Billy Hamilton ran the Minnesota Twins
into a hole so big they couldn’t
get out of it.
The speedy leadoff hitter
scored three times in the first
three innings to help Cincinnati
open a huge lead, and the Reds
held on for an 11-7 victory over
the Twins on Monday night.
It all started with Hamilton,
who got on base four times overall and didn’t hesitate to take off.
He wound up with four steals.
“That’s fun,” he said. “Getting
those four stolen bases gives me
a lot of confidence.”
The Reds sent 10 batters to the
plate for five runs and a 9-1 lead
in the third inning, when Mike
Pelfrey (5-5) failed to retire any
of the four batters he faced.
Pelfrey gave up eight runs —
matching his season high — and
nine hits, retiring only six of 17
batters.
Cincinnati’s Mike Leake let
most of the lead slip away. Ten
Twins batted during a six-run
rally in the top of the fourth
inning. Brian Dozier’s three-run
homer off Leake cut it to 9-7.
Leake sat around during the
Reds’ big inning — he contributed a sacrifice bunt — and
had trouble with his control
when he got back on the mound.
“Well, I got a little bored, but
that’s no excuse,” Leake said,
referring to the Reds’ 10-batter
rally. “I just elevated some balls
that they took advantage of it.
They put a good inning together.”
Nate Adcock (1-1) got the vic-

tory with two scoreless innings
following Leake’s exit. Cincinnati’s bullpen did not allow a hit
in five innings of relief.
“We didn’t let this one get
away,” manager Bryan Price
said. “I think for a while there,
you had the sinking feeling that
we were going to let this one get
away.”

The group trying to
bring the 2024 Olympics to
Boston released the most
detailed look yet at its bid
for the Summer Games on
Monday, unveiling a $4.6
billion plan it says would
create jobs and housing,
expand the tax base and
leave behind an improved
city with a $210 million
surplus.
The announcement was
designed to answer critics
who say the privately funded Boston 2024 has withheld details of the bid to
prevent the public from
assessing whether the

USOC to pick Boston in

Washington.
“This has been a transition from a conceptual
plan,”
Pagliuca
said.
“We’ve now done the ‘littlepicture’ thinking. We

The Twins haven’t overcome
an eight-run deficit to win a
game since 1929, when they
were the Washington Senators,
according to STATS. They couldn’t pull it off on Monday as the
Reds matched their season high
with 17 hits.
Every Cincinnati position
player had at least one hit, and
seven different players scored.
The Reds had at least one hit in
each inning.
Hamilton reached in each of
his first four plate appearances
on a pair of infield singles and
two walks. His four steals gave
him 40 for the season, most in
the majors.
