By JOHN O’CONNORand KERRY LESTERAssociated PressSPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illi-

nois Supreme Court forced thestate Friday to find another wayto fix the nation’s worst govern-ment-employee pension crisis,ruling lawmakers “overstepped”by enacting a law that slashedretirement benefits to confront amassive budget deficit.In a unanimous decision that

frequently scolded state policy-makers, the seven justices

declared that the measure formerDemocratic Gov. Pat Quinnsigned into law 18 months ago vio-lates the state constitutionbecause it would leave pensionpromises “diminished orimpaired.”The cash-strapped state now

must again grapple with a $111billion deficit in what’s necessaryto cover its employee retirementobligations.The hole is so deep the state has

in recent years had to reserve upto $7 billion — or one-fifth of its

annual operating funds — to keeppace.The plan rejected by the justices

was designed to whittle down themonstrous shortfall over 30 years,gradually but significantly slicingback pension benefits by erasing a3 percent annual adjustment.Lawmakers who spent years

working toward a consensusacknowledged the ruling creates amajor dilemma for new Republi-can Gov. Bruce Rauner andDemocrats who control the Gener-al Assembly.

“I’m not sure that any of theproposals that were consideredwould have passed” a court test,said Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a North-brook Democrat who was a leadnegotiator on the pension plan.“This problem will now be withus for two generations. And thatmakes me sad.”Most states faced the same pub-

lic employee pension crisis, exac-erbated by the Great Recession,and took steps to remedy theproblem.

Court overturns Illinois pension law

By SEAN MURPHYAssociated PressMOORE, Okla. — When

spring arrives in Oklahomaand conditions are right fortornadoes, David Wheelerand his family don’t takeany chances.Two years ago, a top-of-

the-scale twister tore amiles-long path throughthis Oklahoma City suburband turned Wheeler’s son’sschool into a pile of rubble.That’s when he installed asmall underground shelterin his garage. Now the fam-ily regularly drills on whatto do if the skies turn omi-nous.“Today we’ve been nerv-

ous,” Wheeler, a fifth-gradeteacher whose family hassurvived two deadly torna-does, said Friday. “We’vedone some dry runs beforethe spring. I made the kidsgo down there by them-selves, and we’ve done thesame thing with me, thewife and the kids, alltogether.”The Wheeler family

retreated undergroundnearly a dozen times onWednesday night, when apowerful thunderstormthat rumbled across thesouthern Plains producedmore than 50 tornadoes.The menacing clouds hadbarely vanished beforeforecasters began warningof another system thatcould produce even moreviolent twisters throughthe weekend in parts ofKansas, Oklahoma andNorth Texas.“We’re going to see

storms that present therisk of a full gamut ofsevere weather,” includinglarge hail, high winds andtornadoes, said Todd Lind-ley, a meteorologist withthe National Weather Serv-ice.A tornado touched down

in Waurika, Oklahoma, onFriday night, according toJefferson County Emer-gency Management Direc-tor Jimmy Gallaher, butthere were no reports ofany damage.

By TOM DAVIESAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s

riverboat casinos will be allowedto build new on-land facilities,and a three-year moratorium willbe imposed on construction ofmost new nursing homes aroundthe state, under bills that Gov.Mike Pence said Friday he’ll let

become law without his signa-ture.Pence, who is leaving today for

a weeklong trip to China, faced aMonday deadline to act on theproposals approved during theGeneral Assembly session thatconcluded last week.The governor also issued his

first vetoes of the year Friday in

rejecting bills that would allowelectronic wagering on horseraces and permit state and localgovernment entities to chargefees for fulfilling some publicrecords requests.Pence’s decision on the casino

legislation was in questionbecause of his often-stated stanceagainst an expansion of gam-

bling in the state, while not detail-ing publicly what he regarded asan expansion.Earlier versions of the legisla-

tion would have allowed the horsetrack casinos in Anderson andShelbyville to add live dealers fortable games such as blackjack,but that provision was droppedafter legislative leaders said

Pence objected. The new law willallow those casinos to seek per-mission for live dealers in 2021.Indiana’s casinos have seen big

declines in business and the lossof hundreds of jobs in recentyears as more gambling optionshave become available in Ohio,Michigan and Illinois.

balked until Quinn andDemocratic lawmakersfinally overcame opposi-tion from union alliesand struck the deal, amidwarnings that it mightnot survive a court chal-lenge.

The Illinois justicesruled the law representednot the last resort, but“an expedient to break apolitical stalemate.”Although the decision

provides no blueprint forwhat should be donenext, the court said therewere other options on the

table for dealing with theeconomic crisis —including raising taxes.The temporary incometax surcharge Quinnimplemented in 2011 wasallowed to roll back inJanuary, after voterselected Rauner, who cam-paigned against it.

In a statement Friday,Rauner called the deci-sion “fair and right.” Hecalled for a constitutionalamendment that wouldallow the state to seekchanges to future pen-sion benefits withoutaffecting benefits alreadyearned.

May 18, 1941 - May 9, 2000It has been 15 years since you were taken away from our family and friends to be with the Lord. We will always

treasure the special memories and the love you left for us.Silently, I still grieve for you. Time doesn't heal the pain.

Sadly missed by your wife Barbara and daughter Cindy Lou Schwann and

son Ricky Nuckols and wife Kim and all 10 grandchildren

By STEVE GARBACZSpecial to The Commercial ReviewIt’s been two and a half years,

but I’m back.Kind of. For one day.You’ve caught me between

jobs. When I start a new news-paper gig Monday, it won’t beback in Jay County, unfortunate-ly. That’s not for a lack of trying.When editor Ray Cooney heard Iwas interviewing for a new jobup at a newspaper Kendallville,he tried to woo me back.I would have been happy to

return to Portland. But my wifeand I wanted to get into the FortWayne area and while Portlandis only an hour away, it justcouldn’t work out as the rightplace at the right time.Maybe some day.I’m sorry. I enjoyed our time

together. I hope we can still befriends. I do feel that we shouldsee other cities.(If you’re scratching your

head right now, asking yourself“Who is this guy?” suffice it tosay that I worked at The Com-mercial Review for close to five

years, ending in 2012. If you dorecognize my name and/or face,aww, thanks, I feel all fuzzyinside that I made an impres-sion.)Anyhow, as I get started in

Kendallville, I do hope my newjob will be reminiscent of thetype of reporting I was able todo in Jay County. I hope I’ll onceagain be able to really immersemyself in a smaller, rural com-munity. When I interviewed upnorth, I pitched that I couldbring “big-city reporting to asmall-town area.”I’ve spent the last 30 months

on the southside of Indianapo-lis, and Johnson County offeredan atmosphere I really needed tohone my skills — a fast-paced

newsroom, lots of breakingnews and plenty of meaty in-depth stories to dig into. Everyweek was intense, and I didn’treally feel comfortable until Iwas about a year into the job.Even then, I’d finish some weeksfeeling totally exhausted look-ing at the pile of stories I’d fin-ished.It was definitely what I needed

to level up as a reporter.But there were parts of the

Portland experience I did miss.I missed grabbing a camera

and heading out to a local event,whether it was at a school, jun-ior league games or the JayCounty Fair.I missed going around town

and seeing people I knew wher-ever I went. Sometimes it madeit hard to get from Point A toPoint B without interruption,but I can’t recall ever being in somuch of a hurry that I couldn’tstop and chat.And I missed being out in pub-

lic and getting approached by astranger who wanted to know if

I was “That guy from the news-paper” because he/she “reallyenjoyed that column aboutXXX.”I made some great connec-

tions with sources and people inthe community in JohnsonCounty, sure, but I never reallywas able to break the veil ofanonymity. Outside of trips tocity hall, I was really just anoth-er one of 140,000 people living inthe county.I always thought my path

upward in journalism wouldend in some big city somewhere,in a bustling downtown news-room like you might see in amovie. I never thought it wouldhead back to a small town.But that’s the lingering effect

Portland had on me. It’s thatinfectious small-town charm.It’s something Indy suburbs

are now trying to recapture intheir neglected downtowns.Some cities are trying to fabri-cate charm, trying to replicatethat homey feeling with newbuildings that look throwback.

But I don’t think it’s a connec-tion, a feeling, a sense of com-munity that you can create fromscratch.My wife and I will be an hour

away now. I certainly won’t ruleout trips down to visit friendsfor dinner, maybe checking outthe best darned fair in Indianaor dropping in at Runkle-Millerfor a Saturday doubleheader.I was able to make excuses not

to come back when it was twohours out of the way. But I don’tthink that’ll hold up once we’recloser.Because years off, I still can’t

seem to shake that small-towncharm.

Teen may be missing out DEAR ABBY: I have been dat-

I enjoy his companyand can see myself with him inthe future, but I wish I hadn’t methim so young. I wish I could haveexperienced more — other peopleand situations. I’m afraid I’mfalling into a trap where it ismore convenient to stay withBrandon. I don’t want to feel confined,

but I also don’t want to break upwith him and find it was theworst decision of my life. Wehave discussed it. He said he willunderstand if I want to leave, butI’m afraid it might destroy him.I enjoy being around Brandon,

but I don’t want to stay if itmeans missing half my life. Heisn’t the most attractive guy com-pared to others, so maybe that’swhere all this is coming from.More attractive guys talk to me,and I assume they would treat meas well as Brandon does.

I knowshe notices the distance betweenus and would like to spend moretime together, but the things shesuggests we do don’t appeal tome.Dad and I are close, which is

probably because he’s more like akid. We have similar likes, and heisn’t as overprotective as Mom is.We’re more like friends thanfather and daughter.I really want to be closer to

By ABDULHAKIM-SHABAZZIndyPoltics.OrgLast week, I had dinner

with members of the Indi-ana Democratic Party,about 810 of them to beexact.It was their annual Jef-

ferson-Jackson Day Din-ner. It’s an event whereparty officials and theparty faithful come togeth-er to raise money and rallythe troops for the next elec-tion. In this case it was the2015 municipal electionswith an eye toward 2016.Now I know you proba-

bly think it’s odd that ofall the groups you wouldthink I would have dinnerwith, I would choose theIndiana Democratic Party.I know it surprised a fewof them.Well, allow me to make

another surprising state-ment. I know some of youmay find it hard to believe,but I don’t think Democ-rats are bad people. I neverhave. I believe they lovetheir cities, state and coun-try as much as anyone ofany political party.I can appreciate their

passion and empathy forthose they perceive as lessfortunate and disenfran-chised. And I can under-stand why they believe asour society grows andprospers that a certainsegment is being leftbehind.I agree with them.I agree with them that

we need to make sure kidsget a quality education.And I agree that too manyyoung black men’s livesare being wasted. And Iagree with them whenthey say we cannot live upto our promise to be agreat nation if we purpose-ly leave others behind.I totally agree with their

goals.Where I respectfully dis-

agree with my Democraticfriends is how to achievethose goals. I have alwaysbelieved in the inherentpower of the individual tomake real change ratherthan the government. Thisis why I believe policiesthat empower the citizen-ry rather than the govern-ment is the best way toachieve prosperity for all.Instead of raising the

minimum wage, I wouldrather help an individualraise his or her skill sets.Instead of giving moneydirectly to a school district,I would rather give it to theparents so they can choosethe best type of educationfor their children. Insteadof compelling someone tojoin a union, I wouldrather let them have thechoice of whether theywant to participate in col-lective bargaining. I wouldrather give my money toprivate charity to help liftup the poor and less fortu-

nate than a governmentbureaucrat. And I believewe can have sound envi-ronmental policies thatprotect our air, land andwater but don’t require usto live like the Flintstones.So, as you can see, I agreewith my Democraticfriends on outcome, justnot execution.This is why, although I

am labeled a “conservativecommentator,” I don’tthink Democrats are allbad. I also don’t thinkRepublicans are all good.While I agree with my

GOP friends on a lot ofeconomic policies, I thinkthey really need to work onthis tendency they have tolisten to people who wantto regulate other people’sprivate parts. If youbelieve in less govern-ment, then that philosophyshould apply to the bed-room as well as the corpo-rate boardroom.As my mother would say,

no one has a monopoly ongood ideas or stupidity.And I want my Democraticfriends to be able to com-pete with my Republicanfriends in the marketplaceof ideas. A healthy two-party system, actuallythree-party (I can’t forgetmy Libertarian friends) isgood for the electorate.So, to my Democratic

friends, I wish you luck asyou go forward to rebuildand rebrand. And while itmeans we will still dis-agree, I know your heartsare in the right place.It’s just where your

heads are sometimes thatgives me a little bit ofpause.

Ideas differ,but goals don’t

By NOAH FELDMANBloomberg NewsIn a major vindication for Edward

Snowden — and a blow for the nation-al security policy pursued by Republi-cans and Democrats alike — the U.S.Court of Appeals for the Second Cir-cuit ruled Thursday that the NationalSecurity Agency’s metadata collec-tion program is unlawful. This is themost serious blow to date for the lega-cy of the USA Patriot Act and the sur-veillance overreach that followed9/11.The central question depended on

the meaning of the word “relevant”:Was the government’s collection rele-vant to an investigation when it col-lects all the metadata for any phonecall made to or from anywhere in theU.S.?The court said no.That was the right decision — not

so much because it protects privacy,as because it broke the bad precedentof secret law created by the NSA andendorsed by the secret national secu-rity court known as the Foreign Intel-ligence Surveillance Court.The first striking thing about the

court’s opinion was how openly itrelied on Snowden’s revelations ofclassified material. The courtdescribed how the program wasknown — by Snowden’s leaks. It alsoanalyzed the NSA order to Verizon,leaked by Snowden, that proved theexistence of the program andrevealed indirectly the legal reason-ing that the government relied on toauthorize the metadata collection.The Second Circuit seemed

supremely untroubled by the originof the information in a violation ofclassification laws. At one point, itnoted that the government disputedthe claim that virtually all metadataare being collected — then dismissedthe government’s suggestion asunconvincing in the light of the evi-dence. Today, it would seem, theSnowden revelations are treated asjudicially knowable facts, at least inthis court.Then there’s the legal reasoning,

which was equally striking. To get tothe conclusion of unlawfulness, theSecond Circuit initially had to find

that anyone who has had metadatacollected — that is, anyone in the U.S.— has the right to sue and challengethe statute.The government said no one could

challenge the NSA program exceptthe telephone companies, like Veri-zon, who received the order. Its logicwas particularly Orwellian. TheDepartment of Justice argued thatthe Patriot Act demanded secrecy inreviewing challenges to the surveil-lance program. The secrecy, in turn,implied that the statute meant to pre-clude anyone from challenging theprogram under the non-secret provi-sions of the Administrative Proce-dure Act, the catch-all statute for chal-lenging unlawful government pro-grams.The Second Circuit wisely rejected

what it called this “argument fromsecrecy.” It reversed a lower districtcourt that had refused to allow thesuit to proceed, and set the stage foran analysis of relevance under thestatute.Relevance, the court said, should be

measured the way the idea is used ingrand jury investigations. That stan-dard of relevant documents or objectsto be brought under subpoena is pret-ty broad. It’s often said a prosecutorcould indict a ham sandwich. Well, aprosecutor can also subpoena therecipe the cook used to make it.The government argued that this

broad standard of relevance coveredthe metadata it’s been gathering.After all, once the metadata is inhand, the government uses it to lookfor patterns connected to terrorismor other national security threats —so the body of data must be in thissense relevant to the investigation.The court wasn’t buying this

expansive notion of relevance. Itpointed out that only some of the

metadata collected turns out to be rel-evant to investigations — meaningmost or all of it doesn’t matter at all.Although the court didn’t use this

language, it was essentially sayingthat the collection of all metadata isan overbroad search, well beyondeven the most expansive conceptionof relevance.The court didn’t address the ques-

tion of whether it would be constitu-tional for Congress to order suchbroad searches; it just held that Con-gress didn’t intend to authorize them.That left Congress and the Presidentwith the option of changing the law toauthorize the metadata collection,assuming political will were to exist.This was the right result — but not

necessarily because of privacy, whichthe court didn’t address directly.What was most wrong with the secretNSA orders was that they dependedon a secret interpretation of the law,according to which “relevant” wasassigned the broadest possible mean-ing. By implication, the secret intelli-gence court endorsed this interpreta-tion. But the public never knew aboutit, at least not until Snowden.Secret laws are anathema to democ-

racy. The text of the Patriot Act was-n’t secret, but the government’s legalinterpretation of it was. Secret inter-pretations of laws have the sameeffect as secret laws — and are there-fore just as bad. The public can’tapprove or disapprove of what itdoesn’t know.Now that we do know, the Second

Circuit will push the government topass its next law, if any, with full pub-lic knowledge. That’s democracy —and we have the courts to thank for it.The Ninth and D.C. circuits have

similar cases before them now. Here’shoping they rule the same way, andthat the Supreme Court can then stayout of it. The legal story may or maynot be over. But it should be.

By JEFF LaFAVEBloomington Herald-TimesIt’s a great time to be a

graduate. Especially ifyou’re tech-savvy.Nearly 20,000 students

across Indiana Universi-ty’s seven campuses willreceive a degree this week-end. They’ve worked four(or more) years to achievetheir academic goals, andnow comes a well-earnedcommencement celebra-tion.But once all is done with

pomp and circumstance —diplomas properly framedon the wall — experts saythe most tech-savvy grad-uation class yet has afavorable job market wait-ing.More than 55 percent of

all employers say theyplan to hire more inspring 2015, according to a

National Association ofColleges and Employersreport.That’s 9.6 percent more

than employers expectedto hire from the Class of2014.“It feels like the technol-

ogy exposure that thesenew grads are gettingthroughout their collegecareers, they have moreexposure than graduatesdid in 2008,” said SondaSorg, a metro marketingmanager for Robert Half,an international recruit-ing and job placementfirm.Sorg has spent 18 years

researching the Indi-anapolis, Columbus andBloomington hiring mar-kets with Robert Half.She says Indiana job

markets are most in needof accounting and com-puter science graduates.“Accounting, IT, com-

puter science, those haveconsistently been indemand every year. ... Butright now, the demand foraccounting and computerscience candidates are thetop roles,” she said.Finance is IU’s most

popular major, with 509students expected toreceive a degree in thatfield this weekend. Psy-chology ranks second,

with 463.But that’s to say nothing

of the wide range ofsalaries on the marketright now.According to the Nation-

al Association of Collegeand Employers, Class of2014 graduates who havebeen in the workforce forclose to 12 months nowmake a mean salary of$48,127 nationwide.However, that figure is

closer to $38,600 for artsand humanities majors,and as high as $65,000 forengineering majors.Paychecks may skew

toward finance and thesciences, but Sorg advisesthat it’s also the soft skillsthat can land a class of2015 graduate their dreamjob.“It’s not the title of the

position that matters; it’sthe day-to-day responsibil-ity — how does what youdo impact the company?”she said. “Work environ-ments want to hire peoplethat are going to be collab-orative and work with peo-ple in all the depart-ments.”Sorg’s advice to grads• Be open-minded —

Consider how your firstjob might play into land-ing a second or third joblater in life.

Verallia Europe by issuinga statement that the deci-sion is “credit positive”for the company.“Analysts Martin Cham-

berlain and Simon Westpoint out that Ardagh paidfor a buying spree thatquadrupled the size of thebusiness over four yearswith loans that nowamount to around seventimes its earnings,” TheIrish Times reported thisweek.Glass container plants

By J. TYLER KLASSENThe Elkhart TruthELKHART, Ind. — On

Sept. 20, 2013, Sheri Brad-way had to start a journeyno one wants to take.Her oldest son, Rod, a

police officer in Indi-anapolis, was killed in theline of duty.In her sorrow, she found

solace in the rhythmicwhirring of her sewingmachine and found heal-ing through quilting.“You have to grieve on

your own time frame,” she

told The Elkhart Truth.“And it was during thattime I made Rod’s quilt.That was where my tearswent. That was how Icould cope.”She also found meaning

in a quote a friend shared:“Grief never ends, but itchanges. It is a passage,not a place to stay. Grief isnot a sign of weakness,nor a lack of faith. It is theprice of love.”A year and half later,

Rod’s quilt is complete buthis mother is still coping

with the price of her lovefor him. She is using hercraft to bring othersthrough the passage ofgrief with her.After going to National

Police Week in Washing-ton D.C. last year, Brad-way, her husband, Tom,and son Chip got the ideato honor Rod and hisbrothers in blue by creat-ing “A Quilt for Mother’sTears,” a nonprofit dedi-cated to making a 46-inchby 60-inch quilt for asmany families of slain law

enforcement officers aspossible.Bradway spends many

hours in her basementquilting room hunchedover her sewing machine.The machine whirrs as aneedle pushes threadthrough red, white andblue fabric. Scissors snickas extra thread is trimmedaway. Surrounding her arestacks of fabric bolts,extra-large spools ofthread, and drawers andshelves filled with sup-plies and the tools she

needs to keep makingquilts and heal.“Quilting has always

been kind of therapy. It isa relaxing process for me,”Bradway said. “Peopleasked me how long it tookto do Rod’s quilt. I can’ttell you hours. I can’t tellyou the amount of tears.But to me it was healing.”Each quilt is personal-

ized with the officer’sname, initials of thedepartment served andthe “EOW date” for their“end of watch.” The quilt

also includes a replica ofthe shoulder patch wornby members of the depart-ment.The organization has

been formalized into501©(3) nonprofit statusthrough the donated workof an attorney in Fishers.Originally Bradway had

help from people in herlocal quilting group, butnow she’s looking for peo-ple in all 50 states to helpwith her mission.Sadly, it’s a mission

without an end.

Quilt projects give mother solace

Continued from page 10St. Henry had its leadoff

hitter on base with one outduring each of the first twoinnings, but Fort Recovery(19-3, 6-2 MAC) got out ofthe jam both times byinducing double plays.On this occasion, howev-

er, the Redskins tookadvantage of the opportu-nities that were given tothem.Lefeld scored on a field-

ing error by Tribe short-stop Jacob Homan off thebat of Josh Osterholt, andAndrew Lundvall andDerek Lange hit back-to-back singles to bring Oster-holt around to the plate forthe only runs St. Henryneeded.“You know there aren’t

going to be very many runsscored in the game, you’vegot two of the area’s bestpitchers going against eachother,” St. Henry coachJohn Dorner said. Mikesellimproved to 6-1 on thebump this season with anERA of 1.60 and 61 strike-outs. Hobbs fell to 6-1, butnow boasts a 0.69 ERA. “You’re on the road, you

have to take advantage ofmistakes, and we were ableto do that,” Dorner said.“(Mikesell) struggled a lit-tle bit early getting aheadin the count, but being theveteran pitcher he was, hestarted getting ahead in thecount as the game pro-gressed and he gotstronger.”Mikesell finished with

seven strikeouts and onewalk, and scattered threehits.“His curve ball from the

second inning on, he wasable to throw it for strikesand I think that was key forhim to keep them off bal-ance,” Dorner said.Fort Recovery had a run-

ner on second in each ofthe first three innings, butit wasn’t able to get the bighit it needed. The Tribehad runners on first andsecond with one out in thefirst but Mikesell got a

strikeout and induced afielder’s choice.With one gone in the sec-

ond, Mikesell got Ben Willto pop out to second baseand Chase Bruns to groundout. Fort Recovery gotback-to-back one-out hitsfrom Cole Wendel andHobbs in the third, but thereigning MAC first-teamerstruck out the side to endthe threat.“We got a couple of guys

on early,” Kaup said. Mitch

Stammen was hit by apitch in the first inning,and Hobbs walked two bat-ters later. Nate Lochtefeldhit an infield single in thesecond before Wendel andHobbs went back-to-back.“We had some chances inthe early innings and wedidn’t come through.”The two strikeouts in the

third sparked Mikesell’sdominance over the Indi-ans for the remainder ofthe game. The 6-foot, 7-inch

righty retired the final 14batters as he faced fivemore than the minimum 21batters.St. Henry had chances to

pad its lead with base run-ners in each of the finalthree innings — even load-ing the bases with two outsin the seventh — but Hobbswas able to prevent furtherdamage.“He challenged batters,

and he doesn’t always chal-lenge with a fastball,”

Dorner said of Hobbs. “Hewould be able to do it witha curveball too.”But Dorner said the Red-

skins were able to figureout the junior right-handerby being selective withpitches to hit, keepinghands back and attackingthe strike zone. It resultedin six hits for the visitors,including three in the two-run third.“I can’t say enough about

Jerry Kaup,” said Dorner,reigning MAC co-coach ofthe year. “What he’s donewith this program — to beNo. 1 in the state and be inthe position in the lastweek of the season to(have) a chance for a titlerun — as far as I’m con-cerned he’ is the MACcoach of the year.”

Fort Recovery High School senior right fielder Ben Will reaches tomake a catch on the run during the fourth inning Friday against the St. HenryRedskins at FRHS. The Division IV No. 1 Indians managed just three hits offof St. Henry pitcher Ryan Mikesell as the Division III No. 18 Redskins beatthe Tribe, 2-0.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — TeamPenske is overpowering the com-petition in Indianapolis — again.Now it’s looking to make some

more history.Defending series champ Will

Power broke the Grand Prix ofIndianapolis qualifying recordtwice Friday, completing the2.439-mile, 14-turn road course in1 minute, 9.4886 seconds to earnhis second pole of the season. He

beat Scott Dixon by 0.227 secondsand led a pack of four Penskecars that qualified in the top fivefor Saturday’s race in what couldbe the first step to pulling off thefirst May double.“It’s a special track just

because of where it is, righthere,” Power said.Roger Penske’s record at Indy

is unrivaled. He has fielded carsthat have won 15 Indianapolis

500s and 17 Indianapolis 500poles, both records, now has hisfirst road-course pole and is inprime position to start winningraces on the newest course, too.He got there in typical Penske

fashion — by taking a risk.Power set his first track record

in the second of three rounds ofqualifications by barely gettingpast defending race championSimon Pagenaud in the closing

seconds — on old tires. In thefinal round, Power switched tofresh Firestone red tires and sur-passed that mark to hold off Tar-get Chip Ganassi driver ScottDixon, who will start second Sat-urday.Power’s play paid off.“We thought we would just take

the chance, Tim (Cindric) said‘This is Indianapolis and we’vejust got to go for it,’” Power said.

The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney

Jay County High School freshman Shelby McClain hits a shot Friday during the first set of her 6-4, 6-1 victoryover Leo junior Olivia Roth. McClain had one of the two wins for the Patriots as they fell 3-2 to the visiting Lions.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewThe Patriots have posted more

wins this year than in either oftheir back-to-back sectional titlecampaigns.That success just hasn’t trans-

ferred to the Allen County Ath-letic Conference.The Jay County High School

girls tennis team finished theconference season winless Fri-day as it fell 3-2 to the visitingLeo Lions.JCHS is 4-1 in non-conference

play this year, but 0-4 in theACAC. Leo improved to 8-3 over-all and 2-2 in the conference, ledbe a doubles sweep.“I thought especially our dou-

bles played really well,” said Leocoach Josh Grubbs. “They’vebeen playing a lot better. We’veactually gotten to have a couple

practices lately, which this latein the season doesn’t usuallyhappen. So we’ve been able towork on some stuff, and finallyat the end of the year, they’rejust kind of meshing.”After both Jay County doubles

teams fell behind 2-1, they tookdivergent paths for the rest ofthe opening set.Emily Westgerdes and Faith

Parr rallied at the No. 1 spot,winning back-to-back games fora 3-2 lead. But they weren’t ableto muster any more as Leo jun-

iors Abbey Keele and SophiaRoselle won the next four gamesin a row, with a Westgerdes shotlanding just wide to the right toend the set.Roselle and Keele then con-

trolled the second set for their 6-3, 6-1 win.“Tonight, they just, I don’t

know, they didn’t play as good asthey think they could haveplayed,” said JCHS coach SusanGarringer of her senior duo.“They know they could havewon that match.”

At No. 2 doubles, Abby Reierand Abby Saxman were neverquite able to find their groovein the first set, but took a 2-1lead in the second. However, Sarah Schlosser

and Ashton Heidenreichresponded by winning fourgames in a row to finish thematch 6-2, 6-2.While No. 1 singles player

Jessica Kerrigan played a lot oflong points and reached deuceoften, she wasn’t able to getover the hump against Leosophomore Haley Parker in a 6-0, 6-0 loss.Jay County’s bright spots

came at the other two singlespositions, with Kyra Braunavenging an earlier defeat andShelby McClain dominatingher second set.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewFORT RECOVERY — Kyle

Schroer went down looking.Nate Lochtefeld grounded out to

Ryan Mikesell on the mound, andCade Wendel bounced out to DerekLange at first for the final out.And as the St. Henry Redskins cel-

ebrated at least a share of the Mid-west Athletic Conference title, FortRecovery High School startingpitcher Jackson Hobbs was reducedto tears.He did all he could, but a shot at

the program’s first conferencechampionship slipped away.St. Henry scored two unearned

runs in the third inning on Friday,and Mikesell shut down the Divi-sion IV No. 1 Fort Recovery Indiansfor a 2-0 Redskin victory.“We hate to see it come down to

the way it came down to,” saidFRHS coach Jerry Kaup. “We bothhad a chance to get the ball in play.Unfortunately, we didn’t get thatdone tonight.”Designated hitter Evan Lefeld hit

a leadoff single in the top half ofthe third inning for St. Henry (18-5,8-1 MAC) and moved to second onBlake Hoyng’s sacrifice bunt. Headvanced to third when MitchelStammen popped out to deep rightfield.
