Thursday made more than$15,000 in budget cuts,which were necessarybecause less tax moneywas collected than hadbeen expected.Council also heard the

start of construction onthe town’s sewer separa-tion project has beendelayed a week, agreed tomove forward with anasset management plan forfuture road repairs, heardan update from a local pas-tor and discussed the dogproblem in town.Clerk-treasurer Debbie

James informed councilmembers Charles “Red”Coons, David Dudelston,Doug Stanley and MikeWright, absent Ted Frid-dle, that more than $15,000has to be cut from thebudget because of circuitbreaker caps.James told council the

Department of Local Gov-ernment Finance budgetsmoney as if taxes on everyproperty will be paid.When they are not, the dif-ference — in this case$15,526.38 — is the amountthat needs to be cut from. Council agreed on

James’ recommendation tocut $14,438.58 from the gen-eral fund, $68.42 from boththe motor vehicle highwayand park funds and $950.97from the cumulative capi-tal improvement fund. Mitch Hansel of Fleis &

By DEBANINA SEATONThe Commercial ReviewSwap meets last a few

days, but camaraderiecan last decades.Bonds are so strong

that one visitor will pur-chase caution tape toensure his friends have aplace near him.That is what three bud-

dies from Illinois didThursday at the Tri-StateGas Engine and Tractor

Association Swap andSell Meet.For more than 20 years,

they have come asexhibitors and vendors tothe swap meets.The caution tape hangs

from Kevin McWhorter’svending trailer hitch forhis business — Kevin’sMagneto Service, Manito,Illinois. With the tape heholds spots for his friends,Rick Butts, 55, of Troy,

and Tom Jansen, 57, ofEffingham.“They are old buddies,

great guys,” saidMcWhorter. “I guess youcould say we run a differ-ent side of the show.”All three began as

exhibitors at the swapmeet, showing off theirhobbies and making a lit-tle money along the way.But in 2008, McWhorterexpanded to repairing

and selling 1885 to 1950magnetos for tractors andengines. Being a vendor and

exhibitor at the meethelped his business suc-ceed by providing a largeconsumer base. Network-ing is what brought themtogether, Butts said.Building connections

with other sellers of trac-tor and gas engine enthu-siasts helps hobbyists

find what’s missing fromtheir collection.The hobby first began

for Butts after taking hischildren to a homecom-ing parade where therewere flywheel engines.After speaking with someof the owners, he decidedhe had to have one. Nowhe owns about 30 flywheelgas engines ranging from1906 to the 1930s. See SSwwaappppiinngg page 2

Wreck in RedkeyA semi truck and Dodge Caravan were involved in an

accident Thursday at the intersection of Indiana 67 and county road600 South in Redkey.

By BRIAN SLODYSKOAAssssoocciiaatteedd PPrreessssINDIANAPOLIS — Consumer

advocates asked the IndianaSupreme Court on Thursday toreconsider a recent ruling thatallows lawmakers to ignorerequests for emails and otherdocuments that are made underthe state’s public records law.

Court papers filed by the con-sumer groups and professionaljournalism organizations saidthe court’s April ruling hasbroad implications that could beinvoked by a wide array of stateofficials to refuse public recordsrequests. That could include Gov.Mike Pence’s executive branch,which has already argued that

the ruling means it’s also exemptfrom complying with requestsfor administration emails.“If this ruling stands ... Indi-

ana state government will beable to block the access of thepress and public to informationcritical to uncovering and expos-ing corruption,” the court filingstates.

Indiana’s Public Records Actdeclares “it is the public policyof the state that all persons areentitled to full and completeinformation regarding theaffairs of government and theofficial acts of those who repre-sent them as public officials andemployees.”

of the hobby,” he said.“Having the circle offriends even though we’remiles apart … we see eachother several times a year.It’s an event we all enjoy.”Having the friendship

also benefits Jansen, a col-lector of gasoline enginesfrom the early 1900s to themid 1930s and seller oftheir parts, like a recon-structed valve cover for an

LB International engine for$15. He uses Butts’ work-space to sell his merchan-dise. While Butts holds the

post, Jansen usesMcWhorter’s golf cart totransport piston, rodengine and rocker armparts back to the trailer. Hepurchased sausage burgersjust the way Butts’ likesthem: pickles and cheese,no onions.He first got involved in

the hobby after fixing aneighbor’s lawnmower; inexchange, he received hisfirst engine. Now he hasabout 115 of them.One of his favorites is a

1933 Massey-Harris six-horse power type 3-gasengine, which is the onlyone in North America andEngland, he said. He trav-eled from his then-home toVancouver, British Colum-bia, to buy it in July 2010.Other than engines, he

also collects friends on histravels, including the two atthe swap meet.“We can sit around and

drink and talk about ourlives,” said Jansen. “Wehaven’t seen each othersince the winter. (We’ll) talkabout our lives and family,if someone is having anauction, reminisce andwhat projects the others areworking on. Wheneverwe’re together we alwayshave a good time.”

By DEBANINA SEATONThe Commercial ReviewIn two months I will turn 25

years old.This age isn’t exactly a mile-

stone, but there are perks, itseems.Renting a car and auto insur-

ance won’t be as expensivebecause I am no longer in an agerange with a higher chance ofgetting in a vehicle accident. Butthere aren’t many other celebra-tory events that take place here.The cocoon is forming. Adult-hood is taking over. Next year themetamorphosis will force me topurchase my own health and den-tal insurance.

Aging creates a space for us toexamine ourselves. It allows us tosee where our lives have settledand where we hope to go. It illu-minates how peculiar time canbe — how some moments canstretch out and others leave usbehind in an instant, wonderingwhy we have yet to catch up.

About two months ago, I par-ticipated in doing an activitywith an older group. During theprocess, the group, very sweetly,wanted to ensure the treat theymade was not confused withanother. Rather than waiting forthe peanut butter and jam pas-tries to chill, they ate them atroom temperature.I thought it was cute.I remember at a young age, I

used to behave in a similar way(and at times I still do) because Ineeded the assurance that what Idid or made was still available forme. By this I mean if I made atreat or something, no one pickedup my saucy, creamy creations

with their extra icing.Isn’t that significant?Despite the accomplishments,

and all the grandeur we couldfathom in this lifetime — regard-less of the twists and turns,curves and straight lines — as weage, we still cycle and becomelike our younger selves. We livehoping time will hurry to achieveone accomplishment after anoth-er and when we age we wish tostay youthful, retaining what wethink were our better years.Then time winds down and werevert to what we once were.“As for man, his days are as

grass: as a flower of the field, sohe flourisheth. For the wind pas-

seth over it, and it is gone; andthe place thereof shall know it nomore.”There’s a saying I heard from a

cartoon that no longer is on tele-vision — “another year older,another year wiser.”My hope is with the future,

wrinkly skin and crows restingtheir feet outside of my eyes thatwisdom will find its place withme. The last thing I want to be isa silly older person. I hope with the ability to obtain

cheaper insurance, living on myown and learning new thingseach day, aging will allow wis-dom to tag along for the rentedcar ride.

Cancer walk scheduled for June 25Letters tothe Editor

By JENNIFER RUBINThe Washington PostMy Washington Post col-

leagues have observed thatDonald Trump’s interviewwith Fox News personalityMegyn Kelly wasn’t newsy.It was the sort of gauzy,

nonconfrontational andunrevealing celebrityinterview you might haveexpected if Trump werenot the presumptive nomi-nee of the GOP. By focusingon herself and her relation-ship with Trump ratherthan treating Trump asany uncooperative, evasiveinterviewee, Kelly inessence conceded thatTrump had won. He hassucceeded in pushing herto join the cast of charac-ters at Fox (most notorious-ly, Sean Hannity) who nolonger do news — not realnews, at any rate.Kelly now risks becom-

ing yet another chess piecein Trump’s game of intimi-dation, cajoling, complain-ing and free-riding on so-called earned media. (Tothose who say BarbaraWalters did such inter-views without damagingher news brand, we canonly remark that Kelly isno Walters and does nothave decades of real jour-nalism under her belt.)This, by the way, is not a

criticism of Trump. Any-thing but. He has simplyrevealed how desperate thecable networks are for rat-ings and how low theirstandards can be driven.We have seen the descent

of some outlets and somejournalists into faux news,in which they put out a mixof gossip, spin and some-times flat-out untruthsunder the guise of “news.”I say “some” becauseexceptions to the rule —Jake Tapper at CNN,Martha Raddatz at ABC,John Dickerson at CBS,Chris Wallace and BretBaier at Fox, etc. — remindus that good journalistssuffer because of the preva-lence of faux journalism.When a legitimate

newsperson challengesTrump on nonsense — e.g.Rafael Cruz and the JFKassassination — it is greet-ed with shock andapplause. That’s because itis so rare.Conservatives who used

to defend Fox from liberalaccusations that Fox wasnot news at all would pointto legitimate coverage fromreporters such as MajorGarrett and James Rosen,arguing that the nighttimelineup was different. Nowthe entire enterprise, accel-

erated by Kelly’s dive intocompliant interviews, isblemished. Cringe-worthycheerleading is becomingthe dominant tone, withonly pockets of genuinenews coverage.The phony, tunnel-

visioned news phenome-non did not start this elec-tion season, but it has got-ten worse. It unfortunatelyconfuses viewers morethan it enlightens them.Moreover, it heightens thealready dangerous polar-ization in which the urban,coastal, mostly liberalAmerica and the religious,more rural and mostly con-servative America cease tocoexist. They no longershare the same set of factsor the same standards fornews. (National Enquireris now a respected newsoutlet for half of the coun-try?!)There is a “solution” to

the problem — the con-sumer market. Conserva-tives revolted by Fox’sTrump coverage are set-ting out in search of some-thing approaching dispas-sionate news.It’s a critical moment,

whether other cable andbroadcast news outletsknow it or not. Now is thetime to demonstrate thatthey are not liberal ver-sions of Fox. Now they canshow what a rigorous inter-view looks like and whatpurpose fact-checkingserves.Conservatives might

learn an important lesson,namely that in the broadcategory of the “main-stream media” there isgood journalism and badjournalism.One hopes that the “real”

news wins out and that Foxpays a penalty for obliterat-ing any remnants of jour-nalistic ethics (with theexceptions noted above).There is no guarantee thatwill be the case, however.Ultimately, we get the

government and the presswe deserve. And that’swhat worries me.

Which mediawill win out?

By JOSH ROGINBloomberg ViewOne of Hillary Clinton’s top priori-

ties as president would be to usesanctions to pressure North Korea tonegotiate limits on its nuclear pro-gram, according to Clinton’s top for-eign policy adviser. The strategywould mimic the Obama administra-tion’s approach to Iran.Jake Sullivan, the head of the Clin-

ton campaign’s foreign policy adviso-ry team, was one of two officials whobegan secret negotiations with Iranin 2012 that eventually resulted in thenuclear agreement that Iran strucklast summer with six world powers.He told an audience Monday eveningat the Asia Society in New York thatClinton is planning a similar strate-gy to deal with North Korea’s nuclearprogram.“This is a paramount security

challenge of the United States. It willhave to be right at the top of the agen-da for the next president to dealwith,” he said. “It’s hard for me tounderscore how important it is thatwe place urgency behind this.”The only way to get North Korea to

negotiate in good faith about itsnuclear program, he said, will be todrastically increase pressure on thealready heavily sanctioned regime.The international sanctions imposedon Iran before negotiations provide arough model.“Those negotiations were set up by

a comprehensive, highly tailored,highly resourced effort that involvedbasically every significant economyin the world getting together and put-ting real pressure on that regime in aconcentrated, sustained way,” Sulli-van said. Like in Tehran, the NorthKoreans’ “expectations and under-standing of their choices need to bereshaped.”While she was secretary of state,

Clinton actually opposed several ofthe sanctions that Congress passed toincrease pressure on Iran, including

the sanctions on Iran’s central bank,which are widely credited with crip-pling Iran’s economy. Clinton active-ly supported United Nations sanc-tions against Iran at that time. Sheoften takes credit on the campaigntrail for building the sanctionsregime that eventually brought Iranto the table.Clinton and Sullivan are skeptical

that North Korea will ever give up itsnuclear weapons program complete-ly. North Korea has conducted fournuclear tests since 2006. The regimeis amassing nuclear weapons materi-al and could have enough for 79nuclear bombs by 2020, according toleading nuclear experts. The Irandeal that Sullivan helped negotiatehas been criticized for leaving a sig-nificant portion of Iran’s nuclearinfrastructure intact.China will have to be part of the

strategy to increase pressure onNorth Korea, Sullivan said. He didnot say directly that Clinton woulduse sanctions to pressure China topressure Pyongyang, but he notedthat the Obama administrationrecently signed an executive orderthat allows for sanctions on countriesthat do business with North Korea,known as “secondary sanctions,”and that Congress passed a bill thisyear that authorizes sanctionsagainst any entity that aids NorthKorea in nuclear, trade or humanrights abuses.“This has to be one of the first and

most important pieces of business inthe first summit between the nextpresident and Xi Jinping,” he said.

Responding to questions, Sullivancriticized several statements by Clin-ton’s likely general election opponentDonald Trump. Trump’s statementson foreign policy are often illinformed and contradict themselves,he said, adding that several ofTrump’s policies could lead to insta-bility and risk of conflict around theworld.“The ideas he’s putting forward

and the temperament that he has dis-played make him a dangerous propo-sition to be commander-in-chief,”said Sullivan.Sullivan also weighed in on the

New York Times Magazine profilethis month of Ben Rhodes, PresidentObama’s deputy national securityadviser for communications. Sulli-van rejected the contention by thearticle’s author David Samuels thatthe Iran deal was part of a largereffort to create space for the U.S. todisentangle itself from the system ofalliances with Gulf states includingSaudi Arabia.“That is an inaccurate caricature,”

he said. “That along with a numberof other aspects of that article got itpretty wrong.”While defending the Obama

administration’s foreign policy, Sulli-van also made it clear that if Clintonis elected, several of Obama’s stanceson international issues will bereversed. He said Clinton supportssafe zones in Syria and more supportfor the opposition, a new commit-ment to Gulf allies, and a more per-manent and comprehensive interna-tional effort to fight terrorism.On economics, Clinton may be run-

ning on the Obama legacy. But on for-eign policy, she is already planning adistinctly more assertive role for theU.S. abroad.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Agri-culture experts say weeks of rainy, coolweather have left Indiana’s farmers wellbehind in the spring rush to plant theircorn and soybean crops.The government’s weekly crop report

shows just 45 percent of Indiana’s corncrop and 15 percent of its soybean crop

was planted by Monday. Normally, 61 per-cent of Indiana’s corn and 31 percent ofits soybeans are planted by mid-May.Warrick County’s Purdue Extension

educator, Amanda Mosiman, says farm-ers in the state’s particularly rain-sod-den southern counties “are understand-ably stressed” by the delays.

Field workA local farmer works in a field May 13 in northeastern Jay County. Wet weather has frequently kept farmers out

of their fields throughout the state this month.

By STEFAN NICOLAand BIRGIT JENNENBloombergBayer’s proposed mega deal to

buy Monsanto is likely to create amega public relations challengefor the German company at home.Bayer faces a backlash against

Germany’s biggest planned acqui-sition because of two productsfrom the St. Louis-based companythat are widely detested in thecountry: genetically modifiedseeds and the weedkiller Roundup,which uses a compound calledglyphosate that some believe cancause cancer.“Germans view Monsanto as the

main example of American corpo-rate evil,” said Heike Molden-hauer, a biotechnology expert atGerman environmental groupBUND. “It may not be such a goodidea to take over Monsanto as thatmeans incorporating its bad repu-tation, which would also makeBayer more vulnerable.”A German Environment Min-

istry study released last monthfound 75 percent of citizens areagainst genetic engineering ofplants and animals. Aware of votersuspicions, members of Chancel-lor Angela Merkel’s junior coali-

tion partner, the Social Democrats,have already come out against thedeal, which would turn Bayer intothe biggest supplier of farm chem-icals. Monsanto, which has a mar-ket value of $42 billion, said Thurs-day it’s studying the offer. Neitherparty has disclosed the terms.A merger would “strengthen the

economic power of genetic engi-neering in Germany, which we seeas very problematic as the majori-ty of the population in Germany isopposed to the technology,” saidElvira Drobinski-Weiss, the law-maker responsible for formulatingpolicy positions on genetic engi-neering for the Social Democrats.BASF SE four years ago aban-

doned research into geneticallymodified crops in Germany, citinga lack of acceptance of the tech-nology in many parts of Europefrom consumers, farmers andpoliticians. The German companymoved the unit to the U.S. and halt-ed development of products target-ed for Europe to focus on crops forthe Americas and Asia.“There’s virtually no market for

genetically modified seeds inEurope because they’re so unpopu-lar,” said Dirk Zimmermann, aGMO expert at Greenpeace in

Hamburg. A deal combining Bayerand Monsanto would “hurt thefuture of sustainable agriculture.”Bayer is no stranger to the pub-

lic outcry that crop chemicals cancause and has been under fireitself for the use of two chemicalsthat some claim are responsiblefor the dying off of bees. The Lev-erkusen-based company hasalready enlisted two large PRfirms to advise on the takeover andpotential backlash, according topeople familiar with the matter.Bayer declined to comment on itsstrategy.Glyphosate is another product

provoking heated debate in Ger-many, with many wary of thepotential health impacts. Nine of14 letters-to-the-editor published inThursday’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung,one of the country’s biggest news-papers, dealt with glyphosate,most of them against the contin-ued use of the herbicide.Several German hardware store

chains, including Hornbach Bau-markt AG, Obi and REWE Group’sToom, stopped selling productsusing glyphosate last year in thewake of a report from the WorldHealth Organization’s Internation-al Agency for Research on Cancer

saying the weedkiller is probablycarcinogenic. A joint positionpaper released this week by com-mittees from the World HealthOrganization and United Nationsdisagreed with that assessment.Merkel’s governing coalition is

squabbling about whether to backreauthorizing the chemical’s usein the European Union when thecurrent approval runs out in June.The chancellor and her agricul-ture minister support the contin-ued use of the herbicide but manySocial Democrats have come outagainst it, meaning the govern-ment hasn’t been able to take aposition on the matter in EU dis-cussions.The opposition Green Party is

against using glyphosate, saidRenate Kuenast, Germany’s for-mer agriculture minister and nowhead of the justice and consumerprotection committee in parlia-ment.Bayer’s plan “is a wrong signal

for Germany and environmentalprotection,” she said in an e-mail.“Monsanto stands for glyphosateand agricultural bio-engineeringand thus for a loss of biodiversityand good soils. It’s a folly we needto stop.”

By PAUL ELIASAssociated PressSAN FRANCISCO — The death

of a young black woman in astolen car proved to be the break-ing point in a series of shootingsand racially tinged scandals thatled to the resignation of San Fran-cisco’s police chief.A new acting chief is now

tasked with mending the depart-ment’s strained relations with theblack community. Deputy ChiefToney Chaplin, a 26-year depart-ment veteran who is black, wasappointed by the mayor after GregSuhr stepped down Thursday,hours after the woman was shot.

Chaplin has the confidence ofat least one key supporter.“Toney Chaplin has the charis-

ma, chemistry and courage to leadthis department,” said the Rev.Amos Brown, president of theSan Francisco chapter of theNAACP.Brown also supported Suhr

through the department’s difficul-ties and said the police’s problems“are bigger than one man.”But pressure has been mount-

ing for new leadership sinceDecember, when five officers fatal-ly shot a young black man carry-ing a knife. Since then, there havebeen protests, moves to reform the

police department and a federalreview of its protocols.Mayor Ed Lee supported the

chief in December and again inApril after revelations that threeofficers had exchanged racist textmessages. But hours after Thurs-day’s shooting, Lee asked forSuhr’s resignation and receivedit.“The progress we’ve made has

been meaningful, but it hasn’tbeen fast enough,” Lee said in abrief statement at City Hall. “Notfor me, not for Greg.”Suhr could not be reached for

comment Thursday.The two had stood together

through several scandals,announced a series of reformsaimed at reducing police shoot-ings and called in the U.S. Depart-ment of Justice to review theforce’s policies and procedures.Suhr had been criticized for

moving too slowly to fire severalofficers who exchanged racist textmessages dating back to beforehis time as chief. All of themretained their jobs because Suhrfailed to start disciplinary actionwhen he first found out about theinappropriate conduct.New disclosures later followed

that other police also had sentracist texts.

the first official recogni-tion by Egypt’s govern-ment that the missingplane had crashed.On Thursday, Kam-

said that no distress callwas received from thepilot. The country’s avia-tion minister Sherif Fathisaid the likelihood theplane was brought downby a terror attack is “high-

er than the possibility of atechnical failure.”Yet France’s foreign

minister Jean-MarcAyrault asserted today onFrance-2 television that

there is “absolutely noindication” of whatcaused the crash.The junior minister for

transport, Alain Vidalies,said on France-Info radio

that “no theory isfavored” at this stage andurged “the greatest cau-tion.”Amid fears the plane

was downed by an extrem-

ist attack, Vidalies defend-ed security at Paris’sCharles de Gaulle Air-port, saying staff badgesare revoked if there is theslightest security doubt.

By BRADY DENNISThe Washington PostWASHINGTON — The Centers

for Disease Control and Preventiontoday said that is monitoring 279pregnant women with likely Zikavirus infections across U.S. statesand territories. The largest num-ber of cases by far are in PuertoRico, where officials said they arekeeping tabs on 122 pregnantwomen likely infected by the virus.They also are monitoring 157 otherpregnant women in the UnitedStates.

“One challenge of this Zikavirus outbreak is the lack ofunderstanding of the magnitudeof risk and the spectrum of out-comes associated with Zika virusinfection during pregnancy,”agency researchers wrote in areport published today. “Findingsfrom these U.S. surveillance sys-tems are expected to improveunderstanding of Zika virusinfection during pregnancy,enhance risk assessment andcounseling of pregnant womenand families, advance clinical

care, and assist states and territo-ries to anticipate and plan neededresources and increase preven-tion efforts.”CDC researchers did not

include details about the out-comes of any of the pregnanciesthey currently are monitoring,saying that information “will beshared in future reports.” Theyalso said the agency will beginposting a weekly update on thenumber of pregnant women withlikely Zika infections that healthofficials are monitoring.

Researchers have said there islittle doubt that the mosquito-borne virus can cause pregnancycomplications and severe fetalabnormalities, as well as someneurological problems in adults.The most pronounced is micro-cephaly, a rare condition markedby an abnormally small head anda lack of brain development. Awave of babies with the devastat-ing condition already have beenborn in countries such as Colum-bia and Brazil, where the currentZika outbreak began last year.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewLEMOORE, Calif. — Angel

Hernandez wasn’t having muchsuccess on his feet, so he pulledCasey Kenney down to that matwith him.That didn’t work out well for

the Sacramento, California,based fighter either.Kenney, a 2008 Jay County High

School graduate, eventuallylocked in a choke hold that forcedHernandez to tap out at the 1minute, 16-second mark of theopening period of a catchweightbout Thursday during Tachi

Palace Fights 27 at Tachi PalaceHotel and Casino.It was the second consecutive

first-period submission victoryfor Kenney, who needed just 1minute, 48 seconds, to finish offAnthony Torres on Feb. 18.“I felt great the whole time,”

said Kenney, who is now 5-0 as amixed martial arts pro after win-ning all of his six amateur boutsfor Rise Combat Sports of Tus-con, Arizona. “Really it was analmost perfect fight for me. I did-n’t come out with any damage.My body feels good. I didn’t reallyget hit.

“I kind of slowed him downright off the bat, hitting him inthe body. Every time I hit him, Icould hear it come out of hisbreath.”Hernandez, who had won his

only previous professional bout,tried to clench with Kenney early,but wasn’t able to gain control.After the fighters separated, Ken-ney landed his first good kickabout 50 seconds into the fight.The 25-year-old from Portland

landed a few more punches andkicks, avoided a throw attemptfrom Hernandez and then con-nected with a sharp left hand

with 3:10 on the clock in the firstfive-minute period.“He’s offensive minded in

every position,” said announcerTJ DeSantis. “He has thatwrestling base, but we see sub-mission offense, we see very goodstrikes with the feet.”Hernandez responded by

pulling Kenney to the mat withhim, only to get blasted with aright forearm to the face about aminute later. Kenney thenworked for position, locked in aD’Arce Choke at the 1:35 markand got the tap out submission in3:44.

“I didn’t have the right angleon it completely,” said Kenney,adding that he still felt if helocked it in he might be able toget the submission. “I noticed Ihad hurt him, kind of took thefight out of him a little bit …”His next fight is not yet set, but

Kenney hopes to fight for the 125-pound TPF title no later thanDecember.“The coaches and the people I

have around me are just one of akind,” said Kenney. “I don’t seemyself changing a thing. I’m justgoing to keep going on fromhere.”

Kenney earns second first-period victory

Continued from page 10Graham Haines had one

birdie — on the 115-yard,par-3 12th hole — and madepar twice for a 42. BothKyler Hudson and CollinHaines had a 43 to completethe Patriots’ team score.Nick Hayden also com-

peted and he finished witha 44, including making paron three of his final fourholes.Jacob Rife led the

Starfires with a 44, andDavid Muselman was sec-ond on the team with a 49.Dexter Miller and Zach

Colpaert shot a 50 and 59respectively as the No. 3and No. 4 scores.Nathan Bollenbacher

(63), Chris Beitler (67) andEthan Blomeke (69) alsoplayed for South Adams.

JC falls in final frameMONROEVILLE — Jay

County’s softball team lostin walk-off fashion onThursday, 5-4 to the Her-itage Patriots.Jay County (6-13, 2-4

Allen County Athletic Con-ference) was ahead 2-0 afterthe first inning, and thelead stood until the third,during which the hostPatriots scored three timesfor a 3-2 advantage. Her-itage doubled its lead with arun in the fourth inning,until Jay County scoredtwice in the fifth to tie thescore.Then, in the bottom of

the seventh, Heritagepushed across the game-winning run.Kady Finnerty led Jay

County with two hits andtwo RBIs. Chloe Trissel andMaggie Pryor both con-tributed two hits, and Tris-sel added a stolen base.

Tough day for JayMONROEVILLE — The

Jay County baseball teammanaged one hit andstruck out 15 times Thurs-day in a 6-0 loss to the Her-itage Patriots.Heritage scored the only

run it needed during thefirst inning, but added fourmore in the fourth for goodmeasure and a 5-0 lead. Thehost Patriots tacked onanother insurance run inthe sixth for the final score.Southpaw Andrew Saal-

frank struck out 15 JayCounty batters. JacobGeesaman broke up Saal-frank’s no-hit bid by hittinga single with one out in theseventh.Jake Myers shouldered

the loss. He allowed sixruns — five earnd — on sixhits. He walked six andstruck out six in fiveinnings.Jay County falls to 11-9

and 3-3 in Allen CountyAthletic Conference play.

Stars stumbleMARION — A rough

fourth inning was the dif-ference for the SouthAdams baseball team in a17-8 loss Thursday to theEastbrook Panthers.South Adams (13-12) led

6-5 heading into the bottomof the fourth inning, but letthe game get away from itas Eastbrook scored 11 runsin the bottom of the frame.Both teams scored a run

in the fifth, and theStarfires were not able tobounce back from therough outing. Corbin Blomeke hit a

grand slam for SouthAdams.Gilbert Lynch shoul-

dered the loss.

Continued from page 10She never looked back, sweeping

through both sets for a 6-0, 6-0 win.“She’s always excited to play,” said

Garringer. “And she has good confi-dence in her game.”No. 1 singles player Kyra Braun

was nearly as dominant as she alsofinished her day with a shutout win.She had to fight through more closegames against Union City’s Katie Ris-miller, but was able to come throughevery time.She finished her match by hitting a

deep shot that Rismiller chased downbut was unable to get back into play.“I was happy to see her still play

her game,” said Garringer. “Heropponent … was basically just gettingthe ball back to her and taking a littlebit of the pace off. Kyra kept the paceon the ball. Her strength is hitting theball deep … and then setting herselfup to get to the net.”Megan Johnson nearly gave the

Patriots a third singles sweep as shebreezed past Tiffany Edwards in thefirst few games. She took 11 in a rowbefore Edwards finally brokethrough, and then broke Edwards’serve at love in the 13th for her 6-0, 6-1win.Both JCHS doubles squads — Abby

Reier and Abby Saxman at No. 1 andcousins Kayla Dirksen and AudreyDirksen at No. 2 — recorded 6-1, 6-1victories.The Dirksens gave up a game early

in both sets, but didn’t let the earlyhiccups rattle them. They took thefinal four games of both sets, withTiffany Reagan and Sydney Ralstonunable to return Audrey’s serve onthe final two points.The Abbys won their first three

games and finished off the first set onReier’s serve when a Union Cityreturn went wide right. Reier then hita solid return of serve in the seventhgame of the second set to set up a vol-

ley winner that finished off the victo-ry over Allie Conklin and EmilyCline.“I saw them use the alley more,”

said Garringer. “They’re hittingdown the line with pretty good con-sistency, and that is so important. Toooften they were hitting back to thatnet player early in the season. Now,not only have they improved withtheir cross court, they’re using thealleys more.”

Continued from page 10He finished with a time

of 15.26 seconds behindDelta’s Trevor Vorhees(15.07).“My start in the finals

was god-awful,” he said.He had the best prelimi-nary time of 16.17 seconds.“I definitely need to workon starts (and) form overthe hurdles. Simple funda-mentals.”Neal was the only Jay

County boy to qualify for

regional last season, butan illness kept him fromcompeting. This year he’shopeful he and Trewyncan motivate each other.Nathan Heitkamp was

seeded third in the longjump, but wasn’t able tocompete because of a hipinjury. It also kept himfrom performing to hisfull potential in the 4x400relay, which Hess thoughthad a shot to advance toregional.

“Expected more out ofHeitkamp,” Hess said.“Just a nagging injury allseason that never seemedto get better. Wish his sen-ior season would have fin-ished on a better note.”Jay County’s 4x800 relay

team of Luke Weaver, Dal-las Dudelston, Tyler Leon-hard and Travis Bartonwas fifth in 9 minutes, 1.4seconds. Heitkamp anchored the

4x400 relay team of Tyler

Leonhard, Isaac Robbinsand Neal that placed sev-enth (3:59.57) as the onlyother relay team to scorepoints.Neal added a fourth-

place finish in the highjump (5 feet, 8 inches), andTrewyn was seventh inthe 110 hurdles (17.02).Isaac Robbins also scoredfor Jay County with aneighth-place finish in the300 hurdles in 45.79 sec-onds.

Jay County High School senior Abby Reier lines up a shot late in hermatch with No. 1 doubles teammate Abby Saxman against Allie Conklin and EmilyCline of Union City. The Abbys cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 victory as the Patriots won 5-0 to advance to tonight’s sectional championship match against Winchester.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewThe Patriots were ready for the tourna-

ment, and no one showed it more thanShelby McClain.The sophomore got her match started a

couple of minutes before the rest of herteammates and cruised through the firstfour points to win her opening game atlove.And then she won the next four.And then the next four.McClain swept the first three games in

12 consecutive points before finally givingone up to start the fourth. Her early dom-inance was just a sign of things to come,as the entire Jay County High School girlstennis team blitzed the Union City Indi-ans in a 5-0 victory in the semifinal roundof the sectional.“It was a strong match,” said JCHS

coach Susan Garringer, whose team gaveup no more than a single game in any setand lost only five total. “They played theirgame of tennis and not their opponent’sgame, so I was pleased with that.”The host Patriots advance to the final at

5 p.m. tonight, when they will take onWinchester. The Golden Falcons, whoshut out JCHS earlier this season, werealso in control Thursday as they wontheir semifinal match 5-0 over RandolphSouthern.Jay County won 33 games against Win-

chester the first time around, but wasn’t

able to take any sets.“I thought we played strong when we

played Winchester before, but we weren’tsmart,” said Garringer, whose team hastopped the Golden Falcons 3-2 for each ofits last two sectional crowns. “We didn’tkeep on our game. But we were very com-petitive with them. …“I look for them to play with more con-

fidence … and they’re ready. They want towin.“The girls can do it, and they’re up for

this.”McClain was more than ready Thurs-

day as she caught fire in the early goingagainst Union City freshman EmaleeBocanegra at No. 2 singles, typically need-ing only one shot beyond her serve toearn a point in the first three games. Shefell behind 40-15 in the fourth game, butrallied back to deuce before smacking awinner up the middle to take the game.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewMUNCIE — Andrew

Trewyn was already a confer-ence champion.Thursday, he added a sec-

tional title.Trewyn, a Jay County High

School junior, won the highjump as the lone title for thePatriot boys track team at thesectional meet at MuncieCentral.“Feels great because I won

and I get to go to regional,”said Trewyn, who cleared 6feet, 1 inch, an inch morethan his championship-win-ning height at the Allen

County Athletic Conferencemeet a week ago.“He’s kind of been hanging

around 6 (feet) and (6 feet, 3inches),” said Kurt Hess, thePatriots’ first-year coach.Trewyn set a personal best of6 feet, 5 inches, during theindoor season, but hasn’tbeen able to duplicate thatperformance outside. “Hope-fully next week he’ll peak atthe right time. This week he’sbeen working on his formbecause he doesn’t have thebest form.”Yorktown knocked off

defending champion MuncieCentral by scoring 118 points,

four more than the hostBearcats. Delta was thirdwith 113.5, and Jay Countytotaled 39.5 for seventh place.Hess said he would have

liked to see his team score afew more points.“Guess we’d say we’re not

pleased (with seventh), we’renot displeased,” he said. “Notas disappointing as it couldbe.”Senior Aaron Neal was the

only other Patriot to qualifyfor regional — the top threeplaces in each event earn aregional berth — doing so intwo events.He set a new career best in

the long jump on his secondattempt with a distance of 21feet, 4 inches, beating hisseeded distance by 18 inches.It stood as the leader until thefinals, during which BrandtApplegate of Yorktownpushed him into secondplace.“Half inch,” Neal said of

the difference between himand Applegate, disappointedhe wasn’t able to surpass himin his last three attempts.“I was feeling good today,”

said Neal, who was also therunner-up in the 110-meterhurdles.
