Richard A. Straley, 53, received a 60-year sentence this morning in Jay Circuit Court for the March stabbing murder of his wife, Connie Straley. He had pleaded guilty to the murder on May 26 against the advice of his lawyers. “This court has been confused and saddened by the senseless nature of your actions,” Jay Cir- cuit Court Judge Brian Hutchi- son said to Straley during the hear- ing. Under Indiana law, Richard Stra- ley must serve at least 75 percent of his sentence — 45 years. His sen- tence has already been increased by 30 days for fighting in jail. He could have faced anywhere between 45 and 65 years for the murder charge. Jay County Prosecutor Wes Schemenaur said he felt the sen- tence was appropriate and “at least (Connie’s family) can close this chapter.” Hutchison has accepted Richard Straley’s plea on May 26 at a hearing that had been planned as a pretrial conference. A trial date had been set for Aug. 17. As part of the plea, Scheme- naur agreed to drop his effort to have Richard Straley classified as a habitual offender. That designa- tion could have added 20 years to the sentence. Richard Straley had previous convictions for burglary, a Class C felony, in Adams County in 1993 and battery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Class C felony, in Jay Circuit Court in 2003. Portland police were called about 6:37 p.m. March 18 on a report that a woman had been assaulted and was bleeding pro- fusely. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Connie Stra- ley bleeding from multiple stab wounds. She was stabbed, escaped out the back door of her 719 S. Shank St. apartment and ran to a neigh- boring apartment, according to the probable cause affidavit filed in the case. She was breathing and alert when officers arrived, but died at 7:30 p.m. before a heli- copter arrived to transport to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne. According to the affidavit, police followed a blood trail lead- ing back to the Straley apartment and found Richard Straley seated at a picnic table and covered in blood.

Bells tolled across the city Sunday as thousands linked up on a towering bridge and a historic sanc- tuary reopened in displays of unity. Area residents repeated messages of soli- darity, love and even defi- ance of evil at the remem- brances, hopeful their expressions would drown out the hate embodied in the slayings at Emanuel African Methodist Episco- pal Church. Authorities say a white gunman was welcomed into a bible study last week at the historic black church before making racist remarks and shoot- ing nine people to death. “Because the doors of Mother Emanuel are open on this Sunday, it sends a message to every demon in hell and on earth,” said the Rev. Norvel Goff, who led the first Sunday service since the killings at the church known as “Mother Emanuel” because it is one of the oldest black congre- gations in the South. During the service, many stood — some hold- ing small children — to shout their praises or raise their hands toward the church’s vaulted ceiling. For added security, police officers stood watch over worshippers. As Emanuel’s congrega- tion sang a gospel hymn, church bells rang through- out the “Holy City” — nick- named because of the numerous churches here. Later Sunday, thousands of people gathered on either side of the city’s iconic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and marched across in a showing of soli- darity and healing. Under- neath the more than 2-mile span with towering cable supports, dozens of boats gathered and blew their air horns in support, while cars honked as they passed on the bridge. When the marchers from the two sides met near the middle, they cheered, clapped and broke into songs including “This Lit- tle Light of Mine.” Juliett Marsh, a 56-year- old from Summerville, described the walk through humid air and temperatures in the 90s as tough but “exhilarating.” See M Mo ou ur rn ns s page 5 State mourns victims Science guidance Midway opens at 5 p.m. Wednesday Jay County High School senior Bryce Fennig shows off the invitation letter he received for the Congress of Future Science and Technology leaders in Boston.

DEAR ABBY: I have adilemma. Last year myson became a professionalin his sport, and he hasrecently become famous.Since then, everyone isasking for tickets to gamesbecause they want in onthe action. I treated onerelative who lives near meto a game with her son,and now her sister (withwhom I’ve had very littlecontact) is saying she fol-lows the games and wouldlove to attend.My son gets tickets, but

they are not free and theydo cost him something. It’sbecoming very stressfulfor him. Friends and fami-ly from all over now askhim for tickets. I don’twant to impose upon himfor other than immediatefamily. How do I tactfully tell

these people that I won’task? I don’t want it tosound like HE doesn’twant to do it. I want it tocome from a concernedmom who simply doesn’tget tickets for everyone, so

they need to go online andbuy them like normal peo-ple do. — PROFESSIONALDILEMMADDEEAARR PP..DD..:: TThheessee ppeeooppllee

By DIANA DOLECKISpecial to The Commercial ReviewThe raspberries are begin-

ning to ripen. If you are blessedwith black raspberries, do notbrush your teeth immediatelybefore eating them. Minty tooth-paste combined with the flavorof fresh raspberries is not agood combination.Raspberries come in three

main colors, red, black, and yel-low. I have read that there is alsoa purple one but since I havenever seen it, I’m not sure itreally exists.Red raspberries can some-

times be found in the grocerystore for an exorbitant price.Black raspberries are apparent-ly too fragile and full of flavor tobe found anywhere except thejam and jelly section or the occa-sional fruit farm. Yellow onesseem to be more of a noveltyand don’t put in an appearancevery often.I prefer the black ones. The

red ones are too pulpy for mytaste. My grandmother had oneor two yellow raspberry bushes

that bore extra-sweet goldenberries. I planted a yellow oneonce. The berries failed to liveup to my memories and thecanes disappeared after only ayear of two.The raspberry is a very old

fruit and people have beenenjoying its sweetness for a longtime. Greek mythology tells usthat baby Zeus was cared for bya nursemaid named Ida. Shewas picking berries for theinfant and pricked her finger.Her blood dripped into theberries, staining them red for alleternity. Other stories give thenursemaid a different name andsay the story occurred on Mt.Ida. The Latin name for raspber-ries is Rubus idaeus, meaning

bramble bush of Ida.It is thanks to this ancient

lore and evidence of raspberriesin multiple architectural digsthat it is believed that theancient Greeks were among thefirst to cultivate the colorfulfruit even before the birth ofChrist.The red raspberry may have

been brought to North Americaby prehistoric people whocrossed the Bering Straightalthough the wild black raspber-ry is believed to be native to thewest.I have found some interesting

things that people used to dowith raspberries besides eatingthem. The leaves were steepedto make a tea that would easevarious maladies, such as“many of the complaints of thefertile years.” It was used as astain. Raspberry canes werehung outside of homes for pro-tection from “any souls whomay inadvertently wander in.”The one I found most odd wasthat to tame a bewitched horse abit of cane should be tied to the

horse’s body. If I were a horse,that is the last thing that wouldtame me, bewitched or not.Where do people come up withthis stuff ?Raspberries are grown com-

mercially across most of thecountry, but the state of Wash-ington leads the way with 70million tons per year in produc-tion. That’s a lot of berries as anindividual berry weighs only0.11 to 0.18 ounce. A single bushcan yield several hundredberries each year. By compari-son, I would be delighted if mypitiful patch would yield a totalof a hundred berries.Raspberries are very hardy

and will grow as far north as theArctic Circle. This woody peren-nial with an aggregate fruitstructure is exceptionally nutri-tious, containing copiousamounts of vitamin C and fiber.An entire cupful has only 64calories or about one calorie perberry.The best thing about them is

not their history or their caloriecount. It is the flavor. Anything

that can be eaten straight fromthe plant is far superior to anyfood found in any grocery storeon the planet. I may not be ableto prove that homegrown food ismore nutritious, but it alwaystastes better.There is also the element of

control. I can choose whether ornot to use pesticides. I canchoose to wait until somethingis perfectly ripe. I control thequality to a certain extent. I can-not control the weather.The other thing about home-

grown berries is the memoriesthey evoke. Popping a perfecthollow orb into my mouthreminds me of the many hours Ionce spent picking berries alongthe fencerows and ditches. Itreminds me of the hundreds ofjars of jams and jellies mygrandmother made. It remindsme of the many pies she baked.It reminds me of lazy summerdays when my fingers werestained with the blood red juiceof fresh berries.The berries are ripe. It’s time

to make memories of your own.

Memories were made while picking berries

As of Sept. 1, you will be safer.That may sound a little silly,

but it’s true.Amid all the flooding and

assorted bad news of the pastweek, it’s understandable thatthe announcement of LutheranHospital’s decision to base oneof its helicopters at PortlandMunicipal Airport might havebeen overlooked.That’s a shame, because

Lutheran’s decision to placeone of its life-saving helicop-ters in Jay County could legiti-

mately rank as historic. Andthe impact of that decisionaffects every living, breathingsoul in Jay and surroundingcounties.Life will be safer for that

entire population because ofthe incredibly fast emergencyresponse times that will becomethe norm after the Sept. 1launch of Lutheran’s servicehere.

As one flight nurse put it thisweek, in an emergency themost critical factors are “timeand tissue.” And the Portland-based helicopter cuts responsetime dramatically.Between now and Sept. 1,

when a three-year contractgoes into effect, a “breezeway”between two hangers at the air-port will be converted into liv-ing quarters for a pilot, a flight

nurse and a paramedic. Inmany ways, it will be like theliving quarters at a fire depart-ment.The estimated cost of that

remodeling is $40,000, and thecity’s share of that will be 40percent or $16,000.That adds up to an amazing

bargain for this community.It’s hard to imagine any dollarsbetter spent. — J.R.

Helicopter will make us all saferEditorial

By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content AgencyThere is something I

have never understoodabout the argument overglobal warming.That argument was, of

course, renewed lastweek with the leaking,and then the officialrelease, of a new papalletter excoriating humanmistreatment of “ourcommon home.” In thislatest encyclical, PopeFrancis calls for a “bold,cultural revolution” tostem the harm done tothe planet from warmingthat is occurring “mainlyas a result of humanactivity.”He condemns a fixation

on technological advanceat the cost of the planet’shealth — and the “magi-cal” idea that the freemarket can reverse thisdamage if corporationsand individuals enjoy asufficient increase inprofits. The refusal toaccept that Earth’sresources are finite hasled, the letter says, to“the planet beingsqueezed dry at everylimit.”Nor does all humanity

suffer the consequencesequally. Pope Franciswrites that while globalwarming is dispropor-tionately caused bywealthier nations, itseffects are disproportion-ately borne by poorerones. He calls upon the world

to come together andreach a consensus forchange.“Doomsday predictions

can no longer be met withirony or disdain,” hewrites.In one particularly

anguished paragraph,the pope tells us theEarth is our sister andthis sister “now cries outto us because of the harmwe have inflicted on herby our irresponsible useand abuse of the goodswith which God hasendowed her. We havecome to see ourselves asher lords and masters,entitled to plunder her atwill. The violence pres-ent in our hearts, wound-ed by sin, is also reflectedin the symptoms of sick-ness evident in the soil,in the water, in the airand in all forms ofhuman life.” He callsEarth “among the mostabandoned and maltreat-ed of our poor.”It is a powerful and

affecting passage — moreso, perhaps, if one wereto go read it aloud onsome shrunken Alaskanice floe, some crackedCalifornia lake bed, someMiami Beach street flood-ed on a sunny day, somedenuded West Virginiadeathscape where amountaintop once lived.Not that everyone has

been moved. To the con-

trary, the predictable peo-ple responded to thepapal appeal in the pre-dictable ways. Rush Lim-baugh accused the pon-tiff of Marxism whileU.S. Sen. James Inhofeadvised that, “The popeought to stay with his job,and we’ll stay with ours.”He was echoed by presi-dential wannabes JebBush and Rick Santorum,the latter advising PopeFrancis to “leave scienceto the scientists.”So here’s what I don’t

get. It seems to me we aredealing with competingworst-case scenarios.One, pushed by the

political right, holds thatthe imposition of restric-tions and regulations toarrest climate changewould cripple businesseswith needless expensesbecause climate changeis the biggest bust sinceGeraldo Rivera opened AlCapone’s vault.A blue ribbon panel

actually said last yearthat we face “significanteconomic risks” from notdealing with the phenom-enon, but concede thescenario for argument’ssake: Climate changeturns out to be a costlyhoax.That’s not a great out-

come, granted. But con-sider the other worst-case scenario: We donothing. It turns out theoverwhelming consensusof the scientific commu-nity was right and we areleft scrambling for dwin-dling resources on adying planet.In other words, one

“worst-case scenario,” wesurvive, albeit economi-cally weakened. Theother, we do not surviveat all. It’s a moral andintellectual travesty thatsome of us find thechoice between the two sodifficult — and a sign ofmoral and intellectualcourage that the popedoes not.It isn’t that complicat-

ed, after all. We areasked, in effect, to decidebetween future regrets:One: We could have

saved some money anddidn’t.Two: We could have

saved the planet — andfailed.How is that even a

debate?••••••••••

There shouldbe no debate

By MORTON J. MARCUSI do not share the enthusiasm

and certainty of many goodfriends who believe mass transit isa necessary and vital part of ourfuture cities.Rather, I suggest we improve

operations of current systems, butinvest heavily in the future oftransportation.Private automobiles are the

finest mass transit system yetdevised. They offer comfort, priva-cy, security and convenience,unmatched by other modes of trav-el. In many cases, they are moreefficient when the value of the pas-sengers’ time is considered.Advocates for mass transit are

quick and correct to point out cur-rent private autos pollute and con-gest our cities. In addition, theynote, one can (should) not read,text, nor sleep while driving.Improvements in private autos

are happening quickly. More auto-matic safety features are showingup in cars. Lighter vehicles arenow in use that pollute less andtake less room on the road and inparking areas.Appropriate taxes or fees could

hasten this transit transforma-tion. Cars could be charged forparking by the foot print theyoccupy and charged for road usageaccording to weight, speed andcontribution to congestion.

Mass transit systems rely onhigh population and economicdensities, which we do not have inmost cities. Typically, mass transitrequires a supplemental distribu-tion system as simple as side-walks, which have been absent innew residential and industrialareas for the past six decades.Mass transit rarely provides pro-tection from the weather, often isunreliable, and fails to keep cus-tomers well-informed about serv-ice and delays.Yes, these factors can be over-

come with time and/or with newtechnology and significant invest-ments.However, the proponents of

mass transit fail to recognize themost effective ways to serve thosemost in need of transportation isnot with new trolley cars, expressbuses or heavy rail routes.Many citizens can (should) not

drive. They include all ages.Future autos will offer computer-controlled door-to-door service.Just as the self-service elevator or

tram without a “driver” wasfeared in the past, tomorrow’s autowill be suspect until it provesitself in everyday use.In the meantime, let’s put more

small transit vehicles on the roadwith competent drivers, intensify-ing the model now used sparinglyin many urban and rural settings.Remember, most unemployedyouths can drive. This may requireinnovations by regulatory agen-cies, the insurance industry andthe transit unions.There is no question transit ben-

efits the poor. Then let’s help thepoor, and the unemployed whorequire transportation, get vehi-cles to drive. If there is fear of mis-use of these vehicles, the cars canbe monitored and even controlledremotely so they stay withindefined areas and are used asintended.This is not the time to spend

heavily on new rail lines in LakeCounty when old rail lines desper-ately need upgrading. This is notthe time to expend gross amountson an express busway for the com-paratively wealthy of HamiltonCounty. This is the time to actwhere needed in the present and toprepare everywhere for a foresee-able future.

Mass transit is not the future

LeonardPitts Jr.

Bloomberg ViewFederal Reserve Chair

Janet Yellen has sent aclear message to markets:Even if the central bankraises interest rates fromnear zero before the end ofthe year, it will take itstime so it can keep helpinga U.S. economy that’sstruggling to reach itspotential.For the sake of the mil-

lions of people who stillneed jobs, she’s right to becautious.Judging from the fore-

castsreleased with theFed’s latest monetary-poli-cy statement, the economyremains a lot weaker —

and inflation pressuresmore subdued — than cen-tral-bank officials thoughtjust six months ago. Theirprojections for growth thisyear are clustered around1.9 percent, and for infla-tion in 2016 around 1.75percent. That’s far shortof the 30-year pre-reces-sion average growth rateof 3.1 percent, and well

below the Fed’s 2 percentinflation target.In deciding when to

reduce stimulus by rais-ing interest rates, the Fedmust strike a difficult bal-ance. It wants to do asmuch as it can to repairthe damage done by the2008 financial crisis, getpeople back to work andboost what has beenunusually meager wagegrowth. If it holds ratestoo low for too long, how-ever, it could create afinancial bubble or set offan inflationary spiral, inwhich rising wages andprices reinforce oneanother.

So far, those dangerslook pretty distant — asthe Fed officials’ forecastsdemonstrate. Meanwhile,there’s a lot of sufferingthe Fed can work to allevi-ate. Counting all the peo-ple who are underem-ployed or who are likely torejoin the workforce in astronger economy, the U.S.probably still needs about2.5 million jobs, and possi-bly more, to get back tofull employment.As Yellen put it in her

speech after the Fed’s reg-ular policymaking meet-ing: “Room for furtherimprovement remains.”Agreed.

Patient Fed is good for economy

determined students likeBryce Fennig are ourfuture and he deserves allthe mentoring and guid-ance we can give him,”Richard Rossi, executivedirector of the Academy,said in a press release.Bryce said he hopes all

the guidance and experi-ence he gains at the Con-gress will help him pursuehis interest in studyingthe topic of spacetime,something that isn’t par-ticularly easy to sum up.“Have you ever seen the

Big Bang Theory?” Johnasked.“I’ll be Raj,” Bryce said

Parishioners pray and weep during services at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church Sunday inCharleston, S.C., four days after a mass shooting that claimed the lives of its pastor and eight others.

Continued from page 1“It feels great,” she said.

“There’s so much love out here.”Before the march, Shulonda

Powell said she drove 45 milesfrom McClellanville to participatebecause she wanted to show soli-darity with the victims.“I grew up in the AME church,

so everyone is family,” she said. “Iwant people to learn from thisexperience and see everyone com-ing together.”The bridge is named after a for-

mer state lawmaker and vocal Con-federate flag supporter. The slay-ings have renewed calls for the flagto be removed from the South Car-olina Statehouse grounds, in partbecause photographs of suspectDylann Roof in a purported mani-festo showed him holding Confed-erate flags. The 2,500-word mani-festo also contained hate-filledwritings.Less than 2 miles from Emanuel,

someone vandalized a Confederatemonument, spray-painting “Black

Lives Matter” on the statue. Cityworkers used a tarp to cover up thegraffiti, police said.Photos on local news websites

from before the tarp was put upshowed the graffiti in bright redpaint, along with the message“This is the problem. # RACIST.”Around the country, pastors

asked people to pray forCharleston. In Atlanta’s 1st Iconi-um Baptist Church, a predomi-nantly black church with a tradi-tion of speaking out for social jus-tice, the Rev. Timothy McDonaldtold his congregation Sunday thathe had met shooting victim theRev. Clementa Pinckney,Emanuel’s senior pastor, last Aprilduring a visit to Columbia, SouthCarolina, with a group of minis-ters.“You talk about a promising

young man,” he said, expressingshock at the manner of Pinckney’sdeath.“How do you sit in a Bible Study

next to a pastor for almost an hour

and then you just stand up andshoot to kill? That kind of hate,that kind of evil — we need Gody’all. We need Jesus,” McDonaldsaid.Goff, a presiding elder of the 7th

District AME Church in SouthCarolina, was appointed to leadthe historic Charleston churchafter Pinckney’s death. A blacksheet was draped over Pinckney’susual chair, which sat empty. Atleast one parishioner kneeleddown in front of it and prayed.Gail Lincoln said she typically

attends another AME church near-by, but felt compelled to visitEmanuel this week.Lincoln said she was glad visi-

tors who came to Charleston in thedays after the shooting took noteof how gracious people have beenin the face of despair and indigna-tion.“It sends a message to everyone

that people are people,” she said,“and just like we can grieve others,they grieve with us.”

By KATIE STANCOMBETheStatehouseFile.comINDIANAPOLIS — A

new law will protect thosewho break into a lockedvehicle to save a child indanger.“You shouldn’t be afraid

of liability if a child’s life isat stake,” said AmberRollins, director of Kid-sandCars.org.House Bill 1161 provides

that a “child” is any indi-vidual under the age of 18who is unable to exit amotor vehicle on his or herown.The bill will grant immu-

nity to an individual who:•Determines the car is

locked and that there is noother way of getting thechild out.•Has a good faith belief

that the child is in seriousdanger of suffering harmif not immediatelyremoved.•Contacts law enforce-

ment before or as soon asthey are able.•Uses no more force than

necessary.•Remains with the child

near the vehicle until lawenforcements arrive at thescene.The bill’s author, Rep.

Philip GiaQuinta D-FortWayne, said that after hear-ing a story of a rescue casefrom another state, hethought that creating theimmunity was a “goodidea.”“Someone had helped

somebody else break intothe car window and whilethe mother was grateful forthe help, she tried to sue theperson for damages to thewindow,” GiaQuinta said.But he said there was noIndiana case that sparkedhis interest.GiaQuinta said that the

law will now become partof a list of “Good Samari-tan laws” already on thebooks and will take someeducation on the public’sbehalf.Rollins said that Kid-

sandCars feel it is “veryimportant” to have a lawlike this in any state.“I think in a lot of situa-

tions people think that theyshouldn’t get involved andit’s none of their business,”Rollins said. “This type oflegislation sends a clearmessage that the publicshould get involved.”Rollins said that it’s “crit-

ically important” that par-ents or other adults don’tleave children in the caralone — for any amount oftime.“There is no safe amount

of time for a child to be leftalone in a vehicle,” Rollinssaid. “Not for one minute,not for thirty seconds —never.”

Law toprotectcitizens

By LORNE COOKand RAF CASERTAssociated PressBRUSSELS — Eurozone

finance ministers broke offtalks today without an agree-ment on Greece’s bailout, sayingthey aim to reach a deal laterthis week that might keep thecountry from defaulting andfalling out of the currencyunion.The lack of a result leaves a

summit of government leaderslater in the day with fewprospects of making any con-crete decisions on the country’scrisis.Greece needs more loans from

its creditors, which include itsfellow eurozone states and theInternational Monetary Fund,in time for June 30, when it facesa debt repayment it cannotafford. The country has beennegotiating for four months

what economic reforms itshould make to get the money.Ahead of the meetings in

Brussels, German ChancellorAngela Merkel and other Euro-pean officials had warnedagainst expecting too muchtoday. Markets had ralliedstrongly in the morning onhopes that new proposals forreforms submitted by the Greekgovernment over the weekendwould pave the way for a deal.Those gains faded somewhat

as it became clear that a dealwould have to wait a littlelonger yet. The main Greek

stock index was up about 5 per-cent. The Stoxx 50 index ofmajor European shares was up2.9 percent.European Union leaders have

a two-day summit startingThursday and hopes are a fullagreement can be reached then.Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the

Dutchman who heads the euro-zone finance minister meetings,said negotiators would be usingproposals made this weekend byGreek Prime Minister AlexisTsipras as a basis for furthertalks. “It’s an opportunity to getthat deal this week,” he said.

European Commission Presi-dent Jean-Claude Juncker saidGreece’s new proposals were asign of progress but warnedthat “we are not yet there.”No details of the proposals

were made public.Despite the upbeat mood in

markets, tension was palpablein Greece, where people flockedto cash machines to withdrawmoney. The concern is that adebt default by Greece coulddestabilize the country enoughthat it might have to eventuallyleave the euro.“Everyone’s going (to the

banks) to take money,” saidYannis Nikolopoulos inAthens. He said people are tak-ing “money to have at home for10, 15 days — say 1,000, 500euros — because if the banksshut it’ll be a problem to goshopping and that sort ofthing.”

Talks break without a deal
