Lamm wins
AP award
Daily Democrat reporter Mike Lamm was recognized Friday night in
Indianapolis for his thirdplace finish in the “Best
Public Service” category
of the Indiana Associated
Press Media Editors’
2015 newspaper contest.
Lamm won the award
for his story, “Deliveries Or
Littering?” which looked at
the distribution of phone
books in the county which
had become an eyesore
after they were left to get
wet and deteriorate on
the ground. Lamm called
the company in charge
of the distributions, which
said such methods were
not “company policy” and
promptly got the books
picked up.

Indiana newspapers submitted 608 entries in the
contest, which featured

FISHING FEVER — With temperatures over the past few days more resembling summer than they do
spring, fishermen are searching for bodies of water in which to make a cast. Young Carter Perez was
rewarded Monday at Kekionga Lake with a small crappie, as his great-uncle Tony Winters, right, and
William Groce look on. Before wetting a line, be sure to get a fishing license. Conservation officers were
at the site checking.

One monthly meeting, for now, for county council

Adams County’s jobless rate rose in March
for the third consecutive month — to 4.6 percent, according to figures
released Monday by the
Indiana Department of
Workforce Development.
Despite the increase, the
county’s unemployment
rate for the month was
the sixth-lowest in the
state.
After starting the new
year with an unemployment rate of 4 percent
in January, the rate
climbed to 4.2 percent in
February and continued
its slow upward turn in
March.
The county’s jobless rate
peaked at 15.2 percent in
July of 2010 and hit what
is thought to be an alltime low of 3.1 percent in
September of last year.
According to the latest state report, 800
members of the county’s
total workforce of 17,269
remained without work
in March.

Young, Stutzman hold
lone debate in bid for
Hoosier Senate seat
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Republican
Senate candidates Marlin Stutzman and Todd
Young, who have both run as stalwart conservatives, tried to distinguish themselves from each
other on foreign and domestic policy during a
debate Monday that largely mimicked the outsider versus establishment dispute engulfing the
GOP presidential primary.
The tea-party backed Stutzman, who has
frequently been at odds with Republican House
leadership, sought to portray Young as someone
who votes in lock-step with establishment priorities while receiving financial backing from allies
of GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Young sought to portray Stutzman as a career
politician, first elected to office in his 20s, who
has masqueraded as a political outsider at the
expense of pragmatism and compromise.
Stutzman, who co-owns his family’s farm
operations in northern Indiana, and Young,
an attorney from Bloomington, are seeking to
replace retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Coats.
Former U.S. Rep. Baron Hill is unopposed for the
Democratic nomination.
It was the only debate between the two candidates, both of whom were elected to Congress in
2010. The primary is May 3. The debate started
off focusing on foreign policy and free trade
agreements but eventually gave way to personal
attacks, with the two arguing over whose brand
of conservatism would serve the state best.
‘‘First thing you did was buy an $800,000
mansion and move to Washington D.C.,’’ Young
told Stutzman.

Underage drinking is a public health problem
Drinking by those
under the age 21 is a public health problem. There
is no single age group of
people more affected by
alcohol and drugs than
young people, but alcohol
and drugs affect each one
of us, directly or indirectly: in our homes,
families, schools, and
community. Drinking by
those younger than 21
is strongly linked with
death from alcohol poisoning;
unintentional
injuries — such as car
crashes, falls, burns, and
drowning; suicide and
violence, such as fighting and sexual assault;
changes in brain development; school performance
problems and other risky
behaviors such as smoking and abuse of other
drugs.
Many youth are not
just having a drink or
two; they drink to get
drunk. More than 90 percent of the alcohol consumed by those under
age 21 is consumed by
binge drinkers (defined
as five or more drinks per
occasion for boys; four or
more drinks per occasion
for girls). Youth who start
drinking before age 15
years are six times more
likely to develop alcohol
dependence or abuse

later in life than those
who begin drinking at or
after age 21 years.
In Northeast Indiana
in 2015, 14.6 percent of
eighth grade students
consumed alcohol in the
past month and 5.4 percent reported binge drinking, while 30.9 percent
of 12th graders reported
past month use of alcohol
and 16.7 percent reported binge drinking.
How can we help our
youth choose not to use
alcohol? We can teach
them to:
1. Not be afraid to say
no: Everyone else is NOT
doing it.
2. Avoid negative peer
pressure: Don’t hang
around with those who
drink alcohol, smoke
marijuana, use other illegal drugs, or abuse prescription drugs. 3. Make connections
with adults: They can
talk about life and life’s
challenges.
4. Enjoy life and do
what you love: Learn how
to enjoy life and the people in your life, without
adding alcohol or drugs. 5. Follow the family
rules about alcohol and
drugs.
6. Get educated about
alcohol and drugs.

securing gainful employment in Indiana. While
this influx of workers has
an effect on the unemployment rate, the fact that
9,300 more Hoosiers are
employed than last month,
and over 87,000 more are
employed than this time
last year, is a testament to
Indiana’s strong and growing economy.”

8. Plan ahead: Don’t
become a victim of someone else’s alcohol or drug
use. Make sure that
there is someone you
can call, day or night, no
matter what, if you need
them. Speaking of planning
ahead, it is important to
remind youth about the
Lifeline Law. Although
we want to prevent youth
consumption of alcohol,
if youth do consume alcohol, the Indiana Lifeline
Law is designed to protect minors when alcohol
consumption endangers
a friend. The law grants
immunity from certain
charges, including public intoxication and minor
consumption, to minors
who call 911 when a friend
has ingested a dangerous quantity of alcohol,
if the minor stays with
the friend and cooperates
with law enforcement.
The Lifeline Law does not
condone underage drinking. While those who call
for help won’t be prosecuted, the inebriated teen
can be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law.
The focus is on saving
lives.

NEW YORK (AP) — Competing
on home turf, Republican Donald
Trump and Democrat Hillary
Clinton hoped to emerge victorious from Tuesday’s primaries in
New York, contests that offer big
delegate hauls and an opportunity
for the front-runners to inch closer to their parties’ nominations.
Even before the New York results
were in, Clinton’s campaign was
declaring the Democratic race
virtually over and warning rival
Bernie Sanders that he risks damaging the party’s eventual nominee if he keeps up harsh criticism
of the former secretary of state.

H. Richard Beitler, 98, Berne, passed away April
17, 2016, at Swiss Village where he was a resident.
He was born in Adams County Aug. 31, 1917, to the

Margaret Belle Sprunger Oct. 17, 1948; she preceded
him in death.
He graduated from Berne High School class of

a member of the Sanctuary choir, an elder, deacon, Sunday school superintendent and chairman
of the church Consistory. He was

in World War II in the US Army while
in the Phillipines. He was a former

Next, councilors talked
about the possibility of
installing video cameras

cameras could eliminate
possible security issues.
Dyer said he also had
concerns with “irate and

he felt might be deterred

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Conservative Supreme
Court justices expressed
sharp skepticism about
President
Barack
Obama’s
immigration
efforts Monday, leaving
his actions to help millions of people who are
in the country illegally in
the hands of a seemingly
divided court.
As hundreds of proimmigration demonstrators and a smaller number of opponents filled
the sidewalk outside
the court, the justices
appeared to split along
ideological and partisan
lines over a case that pits
Republican
governors
and members of Congress
against the Democratic
administration.
President
Barack
Obama’s administration
is asking the justices to
allow it to put in place
two programs that could
shield roughly 4 million
people from deportation
and make them eligible
to work in the United
States.
Texas is leading 26
states led by Republicans
in challenging the programs
that
Obama
announced in 2014 and
that have been put on
hold by lower courts.
Those states say the
administration usurped
power that belongs to
Congress, and Justice
Anthony Kennedy indicated some support for
that view.
‘‘It’s as if ... the president is setting the policy and the Congress is
executing it. That’s just
upside down,’’ Kennedy
said.

and confirm a payment
and transaction, serving as a method whereby day-to-day business
can be monitored and
verified should the need
arise.
While
councilors
appeared to be in agreement that the addition of
security cameras would
be a positive step for the
county to adopt, no further action was taken on
the measure.
Councilors also talked
about the possibility of
adding pool vehicles to
the county fleet and presenting department heads
with a pre-determined
amount of money to distribute among employees
at their discretion in lieu
of an annual percentage
increase, but did not act
on either issue.

Stutzman countered
that Young has held various federal government
jobs and ‘‘already been

During the debate,
Young repeatedly cited

a businessman and said
Young has not been a

Slowing down in
a frenetic world
By KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ
In a speech to religious educators, the president of
the College Board didn’t talk about acing tests, but
enlarging our souls.
Speaking to the National Catholic Education
Association earlier this month, David Coleman, who
leads the nonprofit group that designs the SAT and AP
tests, talked about the importance of reading, including the importance of reading the Bible — a common
ground for so many religious believers and a foundational element of many civilizations down through
history.
Coleman, who is Jewish, worries about the frenzy
of activity that increasingly marks our lives. The common application for college, he notes, has a dozen
boxes for students to explain their extracurricular
activities. “To me, that’s like a system of terror. Why
not at most three to five boxes? If you want to do other
things, God bless you. But you don’t need to do them
for the sake of getting into college. We need to think
seriously about making more time for adolescence,
more time for faith, more time for having fun.”
Coleman’s call for more relaxation comes amid a
culture that seems to be in a state of perpetual adolescence, one that never gets time to breathe and mature.
His is a counter-cultural message that could change
this sorry situation.
For him, religious education is not only about worship, but human dignity. “Those who seem to be in
the more secular side of this world need to think again
about the productive relationship of religious education,” he said.
So, too, religious freedom. Seamus Hasson makes
a complementary point in his new book “Believers,
Thinkers, and Founders.” He writes about the importance of having a philosophical commitment to religious liberty. “What if it is possible to ground our
rights, as the Declaration does, firmly in our ‘Creator,’
while scrupulously defending the rights of dissenters,
and without sliding down the slippery slope toward
theocracy?” He goes on: “What if it is possible for the
government to acknowledge the existence of a God
who is the source of our rights — and mean it — without doing so religiously? What if, at least sometimes,
the existence of God is a philosophical conclusion and
not a religious dogma at all?”
That doesn’t mean diluting religious faith. It means
having the freedom not to believe, while protecting the
right to believe, seeing this right as something that
preceded government, as something that government
doesn’t grant and therefore cannot take away. It also
leaves room for real faith, which can perform miracles
for the people who most need it.
Underscoring the critical nature of this, Hasson
warns: “(I)f the tragedies of the last century have
taught us anything, it is not to be so smug.”
There is a smugness in our culture of distraction, and it’s preventing us from recognizing the true
nature of the tragedies that are occurring in this century, under our noses. As Christians and other religious minorities are being wiped out by terrorists in
the Middle East, we owe the victims and the survivors
the courtesy of at least frankly acknowledging what is
happening.
Coleman encourages us to understand that things
have dignity and worth. “We sometimes forget that
the best of worldly success is a highly soulful craft
itself,” he says. Life shouldn’t be vulgar and principlefree, nor should it be about material gain or high test
scores. It shouldn’t be lived on autopilot, plagued by
anxiety or indifference — too distracted for grace,
gratitude and the simple appreciation of creation. One
should be animated by something larger than oneself.
Coleman reminds people wherein lies greatness.
Politics and law may seem like just more noise in
a culture of busyness. But the enduring things are
what will make the difference. Rather than bludgeon
ourselves with more activity and frenetic and even
violent distractions, let’s consider a declaration of
independence and renewal in foundational things —
gifts that nourish new life, and cultivate dignity and
fruitfulness.
O pinion
Banks vs. regulators
Decatur Daily Democrat
There has been a little
something for everyone in the
latest news from the ongoing
battle between the financial
sector and federal regulators.
The Federal Reserve rejected
five of the eight largest banks’
plans for orderly liquidation in a crisis — their “living
wills” — a move that signaled
to Wall Street’s critics that the
institutions are still “too big to
fail.” Goldman Sachs agreed
to a $5 billion civil settlement
with the Justice Department,
admitting that it had misled
certain buyers of its mortgagebacked securities during the
housing bubble a decade ago.
Meanwhile, regulators took a
hit, as a U.S. district judge in
Washington ruled that insurance giant MetLife had been
improperly designated a “systemically important” institution subject to tighter federal
control.
Mixed as it is, the big picture here is fundamentally a
positive one. The long, grinding and conflictual process of
stabilizing the U.S. financial
sector, without neutering it
altogether, goes on. Set in
motion by the Dodd-Frank
law of 2010, it’s the kind of
struggle no one really likes, in
part because it is, necessarily,
costly — and in part because
April 19, 2016
DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT
Savers and investors from
all over the world turn to the
United States — and, yes, that
means Wall Street — because
they know their money will
be safe here, far safer than it
would be in less democratic
or law-governed nations. That
is because, contrary to Sen.
Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) sloganeering, fraud is not the business model.
In short, the U.S. financial
sector is a potential source
of crisis — but it is also a
tremendous national asset,
one that bolsters the larger
economy and, from time to
time, enables the country to
exercise leadership on behalf
of important security interests
as well, such as the imposition
of financial sanctions on Iran
or North Korea. “It is incumbent on U.S. policymakers not
to take for granted the reservecurrency status of the dollar,”
Mr. Lew notes, “but rather to
ensure that the country’s economic policies and stewardship
of U.S. capital markets sustain
this track record of trust and
reliability.” Hyperbole from the
right and left notwithstanding, that’s the right goal, and
the nation is making progress
toward it.

Casual Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
By Jim Mullen
It used to be that you couldn’t
get anyone who worked in an office
in the city on the phone on Friday
afternoons. All the bigwigs leave
town early to go to their weekend homes. Between Memorial Day
and Labor Day, the movers and
shakers were all working four-anda-half-day weeks.
In corporate America, there was
a new unofficial holiday: Friday
afternoons in the summer.
Then, a few years ago, it started
getting difficult to get anyone on
the phone all day Friday during
the summer. “Why bother to come
in Friday morning?” must be the
thinking. “Why sit through traffic
just to leave three hours later?”
Not long after that, it started
getting hard to snag an exec on the
phone on Thursday afternoon. If
Kathryn Jean Lopez is senior fellow at the National you’re not going to work on Friday,
Review Institute, editor-at-large of National Review you might as well beat the trafOnline and founding director of Catholic Voices USA.
fic and drive up to the weekend
house Thursday night, am I right?
So then, the people you couldn’t
get on the phone Friday afternoons, you also couldn’t reach on
Thursday afternoons.
They’re at their weekend houses, relaxing. Relaxing from what?
A three-and-a-half-day work week?
And it’s not like their life in the city
is so harsh.
“Oh honey, it’s so hard living on

it’s much less satisfying, ideologically, than simplistic cries
to get Washington’s boot off
the private sector’s neck or,
alternatively, to break up the
fraudulent banks. Yet it is
the kind of effort a moderate,
democratic capitalist society
undertakes in pursuit of a
middle path to financial stability, consistent with the rule of
law.
Wall Street’s sins of omission and commission, driven
by the profit motive, badly
augmented the buildup of
under-recognized risks that
ultimately exploded in 2008.
At the same time, it’s preposterous, and a smear, to
suggest that every bank’s
“business model” is “fraud. ”
Such a sweeping condemnation applies much better to the
corrupt and cronyistic banks
of Russia, China or parts of
the Middle East. Fair-minded
people understand that the
U.S. capital market possesses,
in the words of a newly published article by Treasury
Secretary Jacob J. Lew in
Foreign Affairs, “unparalleled
depth, transparency, liquidity, and openness.” This is
why, Lew adds, “the United
States continues to provide the
safety net that global investors value most.” Translation:
Today is the 110th day of 2016
and the 31st day of spring.
TODAY’S HISTORY: In 1775,
the first battles of the American
Revolutionary War were fought
at Lexington and Concord,
Massachusetts.
In 1943, an uprising began in
The Village Idiot
to clean,” one can imagine them
saying. “It’s such a chore. I’m tired
of going to plays and movies and
fancy restaurants and museums.
Let’s get away for the weekend
and just do nothing. Do you want
to go to the beach house or the
mountain house? Should you tell
Jeeves to make the arrangements
or should I? Will we need the
downstairs maid?”
Since they’re planning to leave
the office at lunchtime on Thursday,
the modern executive wonders if
there is really any point in driving
to the office at all on Thursday.
The latest trend is to leave for the
weekend house Wednesday night.
Right after the board meeting. The
board meeting that voted to raise
the executives’ salaries once again,
to give them more stock options
and an even more glittery golden
parachute.
Now, almost anyone in a position of power is working, tops,
three days a week. But really, does
it take three days a week to drive
a company into bankruptcy? No,
of course it doesn’t. That’s why
they’ve started to take Mondays
off, too. Fight that awful Sunday
night traffic back into the city?
You’ve got to be kidding. So now
the Warsaw Ghetto in Germanoccupied Poland.
In 1993, a fire broke out at the
Branch Davidian compound in
Waco, Texas, killing 76 people
and ending a 51-day siege by federal and state authorities.
In 1995, a truck bomb exploded
at the Alfred P. Murrah federal
building in Oklahoma City, killing
168.
they’re not in the office Mondays,
Thursdays or Fridays.
But they are putting in full
workdays on Tuesdays, and half of
Wednesdays. On those two days,
they are totally committed to the
company. Totally committed to
laying off workers, approving pay
cuts, cutting pension plans, replacing older workers, cutting health
benefits, thinking up words like
“downsizing” and “rightsizing” and
redecorating their corner offices.
It’s on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
that they buy the motivational
posters for the company cafeteria
that emphasize the value of cooperation and hard work like “There
is no ‘I’ in ‘Teamwork.’”
Maybe not, but there is a big fat
“I” in “Laid Off.”
Then came the Summer Paradox.
If you do answer the phone on
Friday, you must not be important
enough to talk to. So some office
workers who don’t have summer
homes, who don’t make very much
and who work five days a week have
stopped answering their phones on
Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays
so people will think they are executives. Which works out fine. They
can actually get some work done
because they’re not on the phone,
and the boss isn’t around to interfere with the company business.
By the way, I’ll be in the office
Tuesday and Wednesday morning
this week, if you need me.
In 2013, one Boston Marathon
bombing suspect was killed in
a shootout with police while the
other escaped and was captured
hours later in Watertown, Mass.

The Hope Clinic now offering STD screening; adds hours and staff
Jim Heckman took over as executive
director at The Hope Clinic in August,
succeeding Teri Hogg. According to a
press release, Heckman recently reported on a number of new things under
way at the clinic, led by a new service of
testing for and the treatment of sexually
transmitted diseases.
“The STD initiative has been in the
planning stages for well over a year,” said
Heckman, noting it was his predecessor
Hogg who laid the groundwork and
nurse manager, Mary Carol Schwartz,
who put all of the pieces in place. The
facility began offering testing and treatment for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and
HIV in February.
According to Heckman, the following
statistics are important when considering STDs and testing:
• 25 percent of people ages 15-24
have an STD. Young women in this same
age group account for 79 percent of all
reported Chlamydia cases. Untreated,
Chlamydia can damage a woman’s ability to have children and may lead to
premature delivery in pregnant women.
• More than 3 million teenagers in the
USA will contract STDs this year.
• 1 in 4 clients who comes in for a
pregnancy test is likely to have an STD.
Heckman also said the main threat
from STD infections is they often have
no outward symptoms and are spread
with new partners without his or her
knowledge. Offering screening for STDs
gives The Hope Clinic an opportunity to
reach young people before a pregnancy
occurs, to direct them toward proper
medical treatment for an infection and
to talk to them about sexual integrity,
lifestyle and risks.
According to the press release, there
is nowhere else in Adams County where
a young woman or man can go for a free,
confidential screening for STDs. Despite
the goal of expanded health coverage for
all, the reality is that many, especially
the young, remain uninsured or underinsured. For many, if screening carries a
cost they will not do it.
Longer hours and staff additions
The clinic began staying open until 7
p.m. each Monday in Decatur and each
Tuesday in Berne in November.
The combination of adding STD testing services and extending office hours
drove the addition of two part-time nurs-
es—one in each office—to cover the extra
medical workload. Jeni Hirschy joined
The Hope Clinic team in November and
Milly Fox came on board in January.
Both had previously volunteered their
time at the facility. Brandi Girod was
hired in January to coordinate social
media outreach and keep the clinic website current.
The existing staff members, in addition to Schwartz, are Becky Fahl, client / donor administrator, and Gidget
Reyes, program / volunteer coordinator. Much of the daily interaction with
the 400 plus clients served each year
is entrusted to a team of more than 40
trained volunteers.
New education programs
According to the press release, in
addition to providing free medical
services, the clinic provides educational programs and material support
to clients and offers examples of two
recent additions to the educational
and support offerings. The Safe Sleep
program is one such program.
“We recently joined the Safe Sleep
program sponsored by the Indiana
Dept. of Health,” said Heckman,
“This program provides education
on proper infant sleep environments
along with a free pack ‘n play and
other items for parents, grandparents, babysitters or other caregivers
who do not have a proper, safe place
for an infant to sleep safely.”
The program is available to expectant moms in their last 6 weeks of
pregnancy and to caregivers of babies
up to 1 year of age.
“Reading with My Child” classes
recently started in conjunction with
the United Way’s “Let’s Talk” initiative. This program is aimed at getting parents more active in reading
to their newborn babies right from
the start, as studies have shown
the children’s learning and language
development are very important during the first three years of life. The
clinic also offers classes on parenting, nutrition, finances and child
safety.
The Hope Clinic is a nonprofit
medical pregnancy resource center
serving families in and around Adams
County. All services at both the Berne
and Decatur clinics are free and confi-

Reader Retracts From
Friends to Work on Self
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a recent college graduate who has a lot on her plate. I feel completely
flummoxed, and I am just trying to get stability. I
constantly worry about my rent, job, savings, bills and
health. This leaves me no time for my friends. I love
my support group, but I have had a very rough year.
My friends think I hate them because I haven’t spent
any time with them. I feel horrible, but I need to focus
on myself so I don’t sink.
I hate how I’ve neglected my friends, but I just
don’t have time (or money) to dedicate to going to
bars and nightclubs with them. I’ve been getting fewer
and fewer messages from my friends because I’ve
disappeared to work on myself. How can I communicate that I’ll be back soon? It may already be too late.
Everyone seems to have figured out life and moved
on without me. -- Stuck in the Dust, Denver
DEAR STUCK IN THE DUST: While you feel like
all of your friends have figured out their lives, chances
are, this isn’t true. What is true is that you have not
been connecting with them. If there is one particular
friend who you feel might be sensitive to your situation, reach out to get together. Now may not be the
time for a group activity, but a one-on-one may work
well. Slowly rekindle a friend bond as you build your
life. Remember that it takes a while for all of the
pieces to fall into place. Work hard and have faith.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My sister recently got broken up with by her boyfriend of three years. She is
extremely down in the dumps right now. She’s found
her own one-bedroom apartment, but I know she is
extremely lonely. Therefore, I make time in my day
to call her or see her in person (we live in the same
city). I want to build her self-esteem back up. She is
devastated and thought she was going to marry this
man, until he broke her heart.
I am completely open to letting her vent to me or
ask for my advice. However, anytime I try to encourage her about her future, she ignores everything I
say. She claims I “don’t understand” because I am
currently happily married. I never brag about my marriage to her, and she knows I have gone through my
fair share of heartbreak.
I want to help bring my sister back up, but she
doesn’t want my advice. How can I help her without
her mentioning that I can’t sympathize with her? I feel
incredibly stuck. -- Uplifting Times, Washington, D.C.
DEAR UPLIFTING TIMES: You can be a great
listener. Your love for your sister and your ability to
listen without judgment are what she needs most right
now. Try to not offer advice. You do not know what
to say to her to heal her heart. Instead, just bite your
tongue about relationships for now. You can invite
her to do fun things. You can also contact her single
friends and suggest that they invite her to hang out.
Hopefully, time will help her to welcome happiness
again.

Children were the victims in
more than half of the emergency room visits for eye injuries
related to aerosol cans between
1997 and 2009, according to a
new study. The youngest children, ages 0 to 4, were the most
likely to be hurt with an estimated 2,830 emergency room
visits during the study time
frame, according to the study.
In all, about 5,927 children 18
and younger came to hospitals
with eye injuries from aerosol
cans, according to the report’s
estimates, which put the total
for all age groups at 10,765.
The report might underestimate the total number of
injuries because it focuses exclusively on emergency room
cases, the researchers noted.
Many other people might have
been treated in clinics or doctors’ offices, or simply cleaned
up and recovered at home.
More than 70 percent of the incidents occurred in the home.
The most common way people hurt their eyes with aerosol cans was by self-inflicted
spray, although sometimes
they were hit in the eye when
cans burst. Males of all ages
accounted for 63 percent of
those injured. The nature of
the damage included significant irritation, chemical burns,
or scratches and bruises on the
eyeball.
The most common product involved in an emergency
room visit was spray paint,
followed by personal hygiene
products such as hairspray,
then cleaning products and
bug sprays. Pepper spray injuries were very rare but in every case the victim was a child.
Spray cans are often brightly
colored, and many cleansers
and personal hygiene products
have smells that children may
find attractive.

Curry-less Warriors rout Rockets, 115-106
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
As Stephen Curry emphatically waved his arms
to ignite the crowd and
coached from the bench
when he could do little
else, Klay Thompson and
the Golden State Warriors’
supporting cast picked up
the slack for their absent
NBA MVP to hold off the
Houston Rockets 115-106
on Monday night and take
a 2-0 lead in their playoff
series.
Thompson scored 34
points and dished out five
assists for the defending
champions, playing without Curry because of an
injured right ankle. Curry
cut short his pregame warmup routine after appearing to be in discomfort
as he was shooting while
putting little pressure on
the tender ankle.
Andre Iguodala, last
year’s Finals MVP, added
18 points with four
3-pointers and Draymond
Green had 12 points,
14 rebounds and eight
assists.
Now, Curry has until
Thursday’s Game 3 in
Houston to get healthy.
James Harden had 28
points and 11 assists to
lead the Rockets, losers of
six straight and 14 of 15
to Golden State. He made
13 of 15 free throws after
not attempting one in the
opener.
MAVERICKS
85,
THUNDER 84
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)
— A putback at the buzzer by Oklahoma City’s
Steven Adams that would
have won the game was
disallowed upon review,
and Dallas defeated the
Thunder 85-84 to even
the Western Conference
playoff series at one win
apiece.
Dallas had been embarrassed 108-70 in the opener on Saturday, but the
Mavericks held Oklahoma
City to 33.7 percent shooting on Monday.
Raymond
Felton
scored 21 points and
Dirk Nowitzki added 17
for the Mavericks. Deron
Williams, declared doubtful on Sunday with a left
abdominal strain, scored
13 points, 11 in the game’s
first 5 minutes.
Kevin Durant scored 21
points for Oklahoma City,
but he made just 7 of 33
shots in one of the worst
postseason shooting performances of his career.
RAPTORS 98, PACERS
87
TORONTO (AP) — Jonas
Valanciunas had 23 points
and 15 rebounds and Kyle
Lowry had 18 points, nine
assists and seven rebounds
as Toronto snapped its
postseason losing streak
at seven games.
Corey Joseph scored 16
points, Patrick Patterson
added 14 and DeMar
DeRozan had 10 as the
Raptors evened the firstround series at 1-1.
Paul George scored 28
points and Monta Ellis
had 15 for the Pacers, who
host Game 3 Thursday.
Kings score OT goal for first playoff win
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)
— Tanner Pearson scored
3:47 into overtime and the
Los Angeles Kings bounced
back from a pair of seriesopening losses at home to
beat the San Jose Sharks
2-1 in Game 3 in the first
round Monday night.
Anze Kopitar added a
power-play goal, Jonathan
Quick made 29 saves and
Los Angeles killed two
third-period penalties to
cut San Jose’s lead in the
series to 2-1.
Joe Thornton scored 30
seconds into the game for
the Sharks, but San Jose
couldn’t get anything else
by Quick as their regular season pattern of road
dominance and home
struggles extended to the
playoffs. Martin Jones
made 22 saves.
CAPITALS 6, FLYERS
1
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— Alex Ovechkin scored
twice, Braden Holtby had
31 saves and Washington
moved one game closer to
a sweep in its first-round
playoff series with a win
over Philadelphia in front
of the Flyers’ disgruntled
fans.
The Capitals lead a
series 3-0 for the first time
in franchise history. Game
4 is Wednesday night in
Philadelphia.
The Flyers lost in their
first home game since
founder Ed Snider’s death
last week. Michael Raffl
scored 57 seconds into the
game and sent a crowd
already rocking after an
emotional pregame tribute
into a frenzy.
The fans turned in the
third period, throwing
wristbands used as part
of a pregame lights show
onto the ice and earning a
delay of game penalty.
Comparing products online works great

WILD 5, STARS 3
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) —
Jason Pominville had two
goals and an assist and
Minnesota roared back
from an early two-goal
deficit to slice Dallas’ lead
in the Western Conference
quarterfinals to 2-1.
Chris Porter put the
Wild on the board in the
final minute of the first
period, their first evenstrength goal of the series.
Erik Haula added a goal
and an assist, Mikko
Koivu scored on a power
play in the third period
and the Wild stopped a
seven-game losing streak
that started on March 31.
Patrick Sharp scored
26 seconds into the game
and again less than 4 minutes later for the Stars,
but the Wild controlled the
action after that and finished with a 25-17 shotson-goal advantage.

Squaws hold on for first win after exciting finish, 3-2
By DYLAN MALONE
An exciting finish
and a Bellmont victory combined to make
the Squaws' hosting of
Woodlan Monday night
an instant classic.
After the Warriors
threatened to comeback in
the seventh, the Squaws
held on for a 3-2 win, their
first of the season.
"Our
defense
is
improving," praised BHS
coach Sandy Busick. "We
executed the bunt once
and we had some timely
hits but we hit the ball in
the air a lot tonight. We
definitely improved a lot
but we have some things
that need cleaning up
still."
The Squaws committed zero errors in the
field for the first time this
season. The final play
of the game was nearly
Bellmont's first error of
the game but freshman
Sarah Enterline turned
a bobbled pop-fly into
an acrobatic recovery
and Bellmont's faithful
breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought our freshman made some great,
wonderful plays tonight,"
noted Busick. "Sarah's
play should have been
a routine play but that
moment is nerve-racking
and she ended up with
it."
With a 3-1 lead heading into the seventh, the
Squaws looked to clamp
down on the Warriors
but
Woodlan
would
threaten starting with
an infield single by Kayla
Reidenbach, a rope that
ricocheted off of pitcher
Beka Wilder's glove with
one out.
After a fly to right field
for out number two, the
Warriors turned to the
middle of their lineup for
help getting a single from
Maddie Fredrick putting
runners on first and second.
Kelsey Jones delivered
a shot to left field that
scored Reidenbach from
second and made it a
3-2 game and with runners again on first and
second, Enterline's play
just inside the outfield
grass near foul territory
ended the game.
Bellmont entered the
game on a scoreless
inning streak offensively
as they have struggled to
put the bat on the ball
but the streak ended at
20 straight in the fourth
when Abbie Lepper drew
a one-out walk.
Lepper's pinch-runner, JVer Makayla Bailey,
would advance all the
way to third the next
play when the Woodlan
catcher's throw to first
attempting to pick off
Bailey would go into
right field.
After a strikeout left
Bellmont with two outs,
Enterline would come
through with a lace
into centerfield and the
Squaws led 1-0.
Woodlan would tie the
game in the top of the fifth
when Emma Baughman
and Alyssa Hoeppner
started the inning with
a singles. Three batters
later, Fredrick stroked
a single that tied the
game.
In the bottom half,
Bellmont struck again,
this time Jenna Busick
would score an infield
Blackhawk sneaks past Braves
FORT WAYNE— Fresh off a 3-2 loss to Blackhawk
Christian on Monday night, Bellmont coaches spent
nearly 10 minute in a somber, but direct challenge to
players to change their attitude.
With five games in as many days, Bellmont coach
Ben Fawbush says it is critical his squad develops a
killer attitude.
“I'm not a big screamer, but I think they can sense
when the time is coming 'you better get your stuff
done'...maybe that will light some fires.”
“We have to get it right between our ears,” he said.
“There's no swagger. Nothing says I am going to be
better than you. Nothing that says I'm going to do this
and you can't stop me. We got up and just hope to hit
the ball. Or hope to make a play on defense.”
Fawbush says new faces will take on different roles
in the lineup as early as today when the Braves travel
to Adams Central, but he says more changes could be
in store if they don't change their tune.
Fawbush says no position is safe.
With the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh
inning, Kole Backhaus delivered the game winner.
The Blackhawk leftfielder blasted a 2-2 pitch from
Okoniewski to left field. The hit was more than enough
to score Nate Moonen from third.
In the top of the sixth inning, Adam Weaver and
Mason Shinabery scored as Justin Jauregui blasted
a shot that handcuffed Riley Reimschisel in the outfield. Blackhawk would not be threatened again as
Kyle Bleed retired the next four batters to squash any
Bellmont hopes of a comeback.
“We strike out twice looking at what I thought were
two pretty good pitches. We have to have to at least
swing the bat.”
Okoniewski took the loss in six innings allowing
three runs on nine hits with five K's.
The loss puts Bellmont at 2-2 on the season as they
head into their match-up with Central.
Central, SA cop baseball wins
MONROE— Adams Central bounced back with
a win on Monday night besting visiting Eastbrook
11-3.
The Jets compiled 13 hits in the win feasting on
Eastbrook pitching for 11 runs.
hit, then advance on a
flawless sacrifice bunt
from fellow sophomore
Audrey Blackmore moving Busick to third.
Freshman Tori Miller's
single to left scored the
run.
Bellmont scored a
much-needed insurance
run in the sixth when
Jillian scored an unorthodox double to left on a
ball that hung in the air
too long and fell between
short and left field. She
would score after getting
to third on a wild pitch
and an infield single from
Madison Massoth.
Wilder earned the win
on the mound throwing
seven innings and allowing two runs on eight
scattered hits with five
K's and two walks.
For
Woodlan,
Baughman took the loss
giving up three earned
runs on eight hits with
five K's and two walks.
Said
Busick
of
Wilder's pitching, "She's
really working hard. We
are still trying to give
her confidence on that
change-up and she's
working on staying on
the outside of the zone a
little bit. It's hard to see
from the coach's box but
she's pitching well."
Bellmont has little
time to rest as they host
Crestview tonight and
Heritage tomorrow, both
at 5 p.m.
