By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewDrivers who regularly travel

Indiana 26 on the west side ofJay County have a couple ofdays to find a new route.Work is scheduled to begin

Wednesday on paving Indiana 26between its intersection withIndiana 67 near Jay CountyHigh School and Indiana 1. Theroad will close about 8 a.m. thatday and is expected to remainclosed for at least six months.“(It’ll be open) for local access

only after that point,” said Mile-stone Construction project man-ager John Sweet, adding thatthe target completion day is Nov.11.

The official Indiana Depart-ment of Transportation detourcalls for using Indiana 1 andIndiana 67 to bypass the con-struction.

The original start date hadbeen set for April 25 but waspushed back mostly because ofweather.The major parts of the $8.2

million project include animproved roadway — someareas will be lifted and repavedwhile others will be completelyreconstructed — a new bridgeover Brooks Creek about a half-mile east of the intersectionwith Indiana 1 and removal ofthe jogs in the road at countyroad 300 West.

The work will begin at Indi-ana 1 on the west side of thecounty, Sweet said Friday. Thebridge construction alone isexpected to take two months, headded.In conjunction with the road

project, Ohio Valley Gas is mov-ing one of its pipelines thatwould have been too close to thenew roadway. The first sectionsof new pipe — about 600 feet justeast of county road 500 West —were put in place Wednesday.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewBrady Vore and his

buddy were fishing.As they waited for the

next nibble, they wondered.How could they make oneof their favorite hobbiesbetter?Their idea: Come up with

a way to make fishinghooks safer.Robbey Byers, Michael

Dirksen and Vore acted onthat idea, and Saturdaymorning they walked awaywith $500 as the winners ofthe grand prize at the inau-

gural Jay County Innova-tion Fair.They were surprised by

the win, saying they hadhoped for maybe thirdplace. But their idea for afishing lure with aretractable hook stood outto the judges — Ball StateUniversity’s Matt Marvel,Purdue University’s CoreySharp and local inventorand entrepreneur DavePoole.“I really thought the proj-

ect was really distinctive,”said Marvel, director of theEntrepreneurship Centerat BSU. “I’ve got young kidswho are interested in fish-ing, so I could see the mar-ket application for that inparticular.“The other thing that

stood out, and I think this isthe case for most entrepre-neurs that are successful,those young men are crazypassionate about the hobby,the problem they’re solv-ing, their product.”

By THOMAS BEAUMONTand JILL COLVINAssociated PressLA PORTE, Ind. — On

the eve of Indiana’s pri-mary, Donald Trump andHillary Clinton are lookingpast their struggling rivalsand directly at each other,previewing the caustic one-on-one race that seemsinevitable if they sew upthe Republican and Demo-cratic presidential nomina-tions.Trump made clear today

that he will have more tosay about his accusationthat Clinton is playing gen-der politics: “We’re makinga list of the many, manytimes where it’s all abouther being a woman.”“I haven’t started on

Hillary yet,” he told CNN,although actually he’s beentrashing her record forquite some time.For her part, Clinton told

thousands at an NAACPdinner in Detroit on Sun-day that President BarackObama’s legacy can’t beallowed to “fall into DonaldTrump’s hands” and beconsumed by “these voicesof hatred.” She citedTrump’s “insidious” partin the birther movementthat questioned Obama’scitizenship.But if they’re itching to

engage in full measure,they still have party rivalsto dispatch, and Trump’snext challenge is to beatback Sen. Ted Cruz in Indi-ana on Tuesday. He’s gotfarther to go to win theprize than does Clinton inher contest with BernieSanders.

By MATTHEW LEEAP Diplomatic WriterGENEVA — U.S. Secretary of State

John Kerry today said “several propos-als” aimed at finding a way to restore atleast a partial truce in Syria are beingdiscussed, amid continuing attacks inthe city of Aleppo.Kerry met with Saudi Foreign Minis-

ter Adel al-Jubeir and with the U.N.envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura. Hesaid progress was being made toward anunderstanding on how to reduce the vio-lence in Aleppo but that more work wasneeded.“There are several proposals that are

now going back to key players to signoff,” Kerry said after meeting de Mistu-ra. We are hopeful but we are not thereyet... we are going to work very hard inthe next 24 hours, 48 hours to get there.”He did not say what the proposals

were, adding that he would telephoneRussia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrovlater today and that de Mistura was head-ed to Moscow on Tuesday for talks.

He said the United States and Russiahave agreed that there will be additionalpersonnel stationed in Geneva aroundthe clock to make sure there is moreaccountability and a better ability toenforce the cessation of hostilities on aday-to-day basis.For Aleppo, the U.S. is considering

drawing up with the Russians a detailedmap that would lay out “safe zones.”Civilians and members of moderateopposition groups covered by the trucecould find shelter from persistent attacksby Assad’s military, which claims to betargeting terrorists. One U.S. official said“hard lines” would delineate specificareas and neighborhoods. The officialsspoke on condition of anonymitybecause they were not authorized to dis-cuss the matter publicly.It was not immediately clear whether

Russia would accept such a plan or ifMoscow could persuade the Assad gov-ernment to respect the prospectivezones.

By DIANA DOLECKISpecial to The Commercial ReviewI called my brother, David, to

wish him a happy birthday. Ofcourse, he didn’t answer so I lefta short message and hung up.He eventually called me back

and I sang Happy Birthday tohim. We talked for a bit and hetold me a story that confirmsthat he is the ultimate trashpicker, um ... scavenger, I meanrecycler.It seems that his workplace

was updating its landscaping. Inthe process they had dug up abush and tossed it out back.After the new landscaping wascompleted, the bush was leftbehind. David asked around andnobody else wanted it.He went home and hooked his

trailer to his truck and preparedto move the shrub along with itsgenerous rootball. He corralledseveral of his coworkers but no

matter how many men he gath-ered, the bush was determinedto sulk in the parking lot.They used a winch to get it on

the trailer. The thing was soheavy that the back end of thetruck threatened to come off theground. David coaxed his son,Jadyn, and one of his friends tobalance out the load by riding inthe truck bed.They slowly took the back

roads home. He said that peoplewere afraid to pass thembecause they couldn’t seearound the shrub. All the traffic

could see was a bunch of leavestraveling down the road or com-ing over the hills at them. Thebush dropped flowers along theway in case it had to find its wayback to where it had come from. After they finally arrived

home, Jadyn and his friend weredismayed that they were expect-ed to dig a hole by hand. Theyhooked the shrub to a car andcoaxed it off the trailer. Thenthey headed over to David’sfather-in-law for a small back-hoe.The bush is now in its new

home. I asked him what it wasand he said his wife, Apryl, saidit was a tulip bush. I had neverheard of a tulip bush and when Ilooked it up I found pictures ofmagnolia trees, tulip poplarsand a brown moth so I still don’tknow what kind of plant Davidkidnapped, I mean, saved fromcertain death.

We talked and laughed at eachother for awhile. We confessedthat we both get the urge to callMom. He said that he thinks aflipper bought her house. Theyare redoing the landscape. Iwondered if I should have dugup all her outdoor flowersinstead of just a fraction ofthem. I wondered if David wasgoing to cruise her neighbor-hood in search of more plants.We talked about our brother,

Michael, and his latest adven-tures. We talked about mydaughter, Beth, and what washappening in Texas. He hadn’tknown that the flooding downthere had kept Beth home fromwork for a couple days or thatthe grandchildren were intosports. We caught up with eachother’s lives and finally hungup.I miss my brothers. I miss get-

ting the family together to tell

stories. We haven’t all beentogether since we cleaned outMom’s house. She was the gluethat held us together. Now, weare held by elastic rather thanglue.Life goes on. It changes.

Changes like being dug up,forced onto a trailer and settledinto a new home can be trau-matic. Changes like the death ofa parent leave holes in our lives.The good thing is that bushesadapt to new surroundings andwe adapt to living without aloved one.We no longer get together for

birthdays. I no longer have anexcuse to bake. Loss is part oflife. But so is sunshine. We havelots of happy memories to sus-tain us. Mom is in a much betterplace. Perhaps David’s shrub is,too. Only time will tell.Life goes on and so do the res-

cue efforts of my little brother.

Letters tothe Editor

By MORTON J. MARCUSI know. You’re getting

tired reading here aboutincome disparities.This is going to be the

last of four such columns,at least for now.Most people believe the

current distribution ofincome among householdsis not what we want as anation. According to theU.S. Census Bureau, in2014, 46.6 percent of Ameri-can households hadincomes under $50,000,which I‘ll call low income.Another 29.8 percent weremiddle income (between$50,000 and $100,000) while23.6 percent had highincome ($100,000 and high-er).Here in Indiana, half of

our households were lowincome, one-third middleincome, and about one insix had high incomes.What distribution would

satisfy us? I have no ideaand I haven’t heard fromanyone who knows theanswer.Let me propose, without

foundation, we set a goal ofone-third in each group.This modest standardwould reduce the numberof households with lowincomes while raising thenumbers in the middle andhigh ranges.Note: This approach does

not suggest taking any-thing from the high incomehouseholds. Rather, itrequires raising incomesfor households in the lowand middle ranges.That means raising the

value of the work done byincome earners, a subjectcovered frequently in thisspace.To achieve the one-third

goal in each income groupinvolves raising theincomes of 15.6 million(13.3 percent) of U.S. house-holds and 430,500 (17.2 per-cent) of Hoosier house-holds.Data from the census are

available for Indiana’s 25most populous counties.Grant County (Marion) iscurrently furthest from theone-third standard with 62

percent of householdsbelow $50,000 and only 8percent above $100,000. ForGrant County the move-ment to the one-third goalwould mean raising theincomes of 7,400 (29 per-cent) of the county’s house-holds.Delaware, Vigo, Wayne

and Marion counties com-plete the top five countieswith the greatest distancefrom the one-third objec-tive. Hancock and Hen-dricks counties have theleast distance (less than 2percent of households) togo to reach that goal.Only one of the 25 largest

counties would need to seea decline in the percent ofhigh income households. In2014, Hamilton Countyenjoyed 42 percent of itshouseholds with incomesof $100,000 or more.Yet, there is no reason for

the rich in Hamilton or anyother county to be con-cerned. If we were able toraise the incomes of thosewith low or middleincomes, the percent distri-bution of income wouldchange. However, no one inthe high income groupneed have less actualincome.Too many Hoosiers, from

elected officials and eco-nomic developers to con-cerned citizens, believe thatthe best way to improve thenumbers that describe ourstate is to bring in high-tech, high income jobs.They ignore the obvious;our statistics will improveif we raise the value of lowand middle income jobs forthe people who live heretoday.

By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content Agency“And now, the end is near, and so

I face the final curtain.”Those are, of course, the open-

ing lyrics to Frank Sinatra’simmortal recording of “My Way.”They are also a succinct descrip-tion of the state of BernieSanders’ presidential campaign.Last week, the candidate

announced he was laying off hun-dreds of staff members after aseries of bruising primary lossesto Hillary Clinton.She increased her lead in the del-

egate count and Sanders, who wasalready walking a narrow pathwayto the Democratic nomination,now walks a high wire in a highwind.Though the campaign spun the

layoffs as forward-leaning strate-gy, it was difficult not to read themas a tacit acknowledgment that“the Bern” has all but burned out.Indeed, Sanders has begun toopenly ponder — though he stillrejects — the idea of losing.It may not be over yet, but the fat

lady is running the scales. Now,how to break that to BernieNation?Once in a while, a politician

leads not a campaign, but a move-ment.Think Obama in 2008, Reagan in

1980, Bobby Kennedy in 1968, Johnin 1960.Such candidates catch the Zeit-

geist in a bottle. They have not vot-ers, but believers, receive not sup-port, but faith. That’s Sanders in anutshell.Small wonder people love him.

He has spoken against the corpo-rate hijacking of American gov-ernment and dreams. And he haspulled the Democratic Party backtoward progressive values ofwhich the party has seemed vague-ly ashamed ever since the Reagantsunami rendered “liberal” a four-letter word.But Sanders is not going to win

the Democratic nomination. Asthis sinks in, many of his believ-ers are declaring their intent to

boycott the fall election. A recentMcClatchy-Marist poll tells us thatone in four citizens of BernieNation will refuse to supportHillary Clinton if she is nominat-ed.It was recently suggested on

“The Nightly Show with LarryWilmore” that this may not be thesmartest strategy in an electionwhere the specter of a DonaldTrump presidency looms. Inresponse, Sanders believer SusanSarandon invoked John F.Kennedy — “Those who makepeaceful revolution impossiblewill make violent revolutioninevitable.”“This was our peaceful revolu-

tion,” she warned.On the same program, comedian

Mike Yard said, “People that sup-ported Bernie are not people thatplay the game. They’re not afraidto blow (expletive) up. Maybe weneed to blow this b---h up.”They sound like Republicans did

in 2008 and 2012.They sound like the kid who

snatches his ball and storms out ofthe park after losing a game.But worse than churlish and

childish, they sound Cruz-ish, asin Ted, who is hugely unpopularnot just for his harshly conserva-tive ideology, but even more for hishardline absolutism, his willing-ness to drive the nation off a cliffrather than bend. He, too, isunafraid “to blow (expletive) up.”Wasn’t that the takeaway from2013’s disastrous government shut-down and multiple iterations ofthe manufactured debt ceiling cri-sis?It comes, then, to this. The

extreme left now mirrors theextreme right, each reflecting the

anger and unbending rigidity ofthe other.And the idea that politics is the

art of compromise, where every-body gets something but nobodygets everything, seems a lost arti-fact from a distant age.How ironic that the Sanders

campaign, conducted mostly onthe high ground of ideas andideals, descends to cries of boycottand even revolution as it nears itsend.Granted, nobody likes to lose.

But the loss was fair and squareand those citizens of BernieNation who can’t deal with that,who want to opt out of the systemor take up arms against it, shouldbe ashamed of themselves. Onefeels sorry for them.The nomination is the least of

what they’ve lost. ••••••••••

give a heartfelt testimonial in aTV campaign ad for his dad (thirdtime in an hour), followed by(another) pitch from BernieSanders, followed by ominouswarnings in an anti-Kasich SuperPAC ad criticizing the Ohio gov-ernor’s decision to expand Medi-caid, unexpectedly relevantHoosiers may be wondering if allthis attention is a good thing.

As Ted Cruz holds a rally inCentury Center, and Hillary Clin-ton stops by the AM Generalplant in Mishawaka, you may be

thinking that the usatoday.comheadline may be true, that Indi-ana really is “the center of thepolitical universe.” It’s an oddlyexhilarating time to be a Hoosiervoter in this most unusual ofpresidential campaigns.Who could have guessed that

Indiana’s little ol’ primary, just afew days away, would have suchsignificance, particularly in theRepublican race? Who knew thatthis deep into the campaign, Indi-

ana would get the chance to feelthe Bern? In this atypical year,Indiana is being courted by suit-ors from both parties. Whichmeans voters are experiencingthe good (attention from candi-dates) and the not-so-good (atten-tion from candidates) that goeswith it.But don’t get distracted. Inces-

sant campaign ads are just back-ground noise. Much more signifi-cant is the opportunity to really

matter in this sure-to-be-historicelection. Indiana and its dele-gates aren’t a mere afterthought— they’re in play.Your vote counts. Your voice

will be heard beyond state bound-aries. Don’t let this moment slipby. Learn all you can about thecandidates vying to capture yoursupport, then do the right thing— the Hoosier thing — on Tues-day. Stand up and be counted.Vote.

Indiana votes matter in presidential primaryHoosierEditorial

Continued from page 1Some U.S. officials are

skeptical of the chancesfor success, but also notethat it is worth a try to atleast reduce the violence.U.S. officials also say

the safe zones will not be“no-fly zones” per se.However, details, such asthe locations of those,have not yet been agreedto and these issues will bediscussed by Kerry andLavrov in a phone calllater today, as well as byLavrov and de Mistura inMoscow.Earlier, al-Jubeir called

the situation in Aleppo

with continued airstrikesan “outrage” and a crimi-nal violation of humani-tarian law. He said thatSyrian President BasharAssad would be heldaccountable for theattacks and would beremoved from powereither through a politicalprocess or by force.“There is only one side

that is flying airplanes,and that is Bashar al-Assad and his allies, sothey are responsible forthe massacre of women,children, and the elderly,”he said. “They are respon-sible for the murder of

doctors and medical per-sonnel, and this situation,any way you slice it, willnot stand. The world isnot going to allow them toget away with this.”Kerry’s meetings in

Geneva came as Syria’sstate news agency saidthe military has extendedits cease-fire around Dam-ascus and oppositionstrongholds in eastern

suburbs for another 48hours. It said the cessa-tion of hostilities thatwas declared Fridayaround the capital and thecoastal Latakia region,following two weeks ofescalating violencearound the country.But it excludes Aleppo,

where more than 250 peo-ple have died in shellingand airstrikes in the

northern city over thelast nine days, accordingto the Britain-based Syri-an Observatory forHuman Rights.Russia’s Tass news

agency, meanwhile, quot-ed Russian Lt. Gen. SergeiKuralenko, head of theRussian coordination cen-ter in Syria, as saying thattalks are continuing abouta cease-fire for Aleppo.

Continued from page 1Once Vore had the idea, he

started researching design pos-sibilities.“I was looking on the internet

at designs for ... types of baits,”he said. “The one that reallyappealed to me was the spinnerbait, which is what I based iton.”The prototype he and his

teammates presented Saturdayincluded a spinner attached to atube that is about 3 inches long.The tube has a slider that can beused to release and retract thehook. In its retracted position,the hook hugs the tube so as tokeep it from getting tangledwith other bait and/or ending

up stuck in the fisherman’s fin-ger.“It seemed like there really

aren’t any products like that onthe market today,” said Poole.“It’s something that addressessafety … From the innovationstandpoint, it just seemed like agood idea.”Honors were distributed Sat-

urday at the conclusion of theinnovation fair at John Jay Cen-ter, with Dylan Rose, RichardHummer and Andy Kohler tak-ing second place for their TiO(two-in-one) bottle and DestinyButler, Troy Glattli and AndrewRockwell picking up third fortheir Locklet (a device to lockplugs into electrical outlets).

Other innovations included asocial-networking app for men-toring, an organizational hubfor home computer cables andother office supplies, a couchthat redirects air from heat-ing/cooling vents, using an air-pressure differential engine as acampfire generator and a chairwith a built-in cooler.The judges were pleasantly

surprised by the overall qualityof the ideas in the first year ofthe event.“Each of the ideas were differ-

ent, completely different,” saidPoole. “You could see the person-alities of the students comingout in their ideas and theirdesigns. You could tell they put

some work into it, some thoughtinto it, and some of them werereally passionate …”The process lit a spark in

some of those who took part,with Dirksen, Byers and Voresaying that once they got startedthey just kept building off of theinitial idea.They hope to continue, both

with their new fishing lure andwith other innovations.“You can always improve on

your idea,” said Byers. “There’sno stopping. There’s alwayssomething new.”“(We’ll) see if we can improve

it a little bit,” said Dirksen.“And then maybe someday we’llend up putting into market.”

Relative paidINDIANAPOLIS —

An Indiana Senate can-didate who has railedagainst out-of-controlgovernment spendingpaid his brother-in-lawnearly $170,000 to man-age the finances of hiscongressional cam-paign. The relativeworked as a car sales-man and actor but hadno experience round-ing up political dona-tions.Marlin Stutzman, a

tea party-backedRepublican facing fel-low U.S. Rep. ToddYoung in Tuesday’sprimary, gave his rela-tive an average of$5,000 a month fromthe campaign accountfor the nearly threeyears he served asfinance director. Thatwas about $800 amonth higher than thesalary paid to GabeRivera’s successor,who raised about$400,000 more for thecampaign in six fewermonths.

moving that,” said Sweet,“and their expected com-pletion date is Aug. 15.”In addition to paving,

Indiana 26 will bewidened. When complete,it will feature 11-footwide lanes instead ofthose that are currentlybetween 8 and 9 feet.“It’s too narrow. It’s

been too narrow,” saidJay County engineer DanWatson. “It’s been let gofor the last 20 years. Itwas always scheduled forreconstruction, sonobody ever did anythingto it. It kept gettingpushed back and pushedback and deterioratingworse and worse.”The bridge over Brooks

Creek will be rebuilt, andnew drainage structureswill be installed. Existingmetal culverts will bereplaced with concrete,and ditches and drainswill be added.To eliminate the 90-

degree turns at countyroad 300 west, the newsection of Indiana 26 willbegin to curve to thenorth about a half-milewest of county road 200West. It will connect withthe northern portion ofIndiana 26 about a quar-ter mile west of countyroad 300 West, which willno longer intersect withIndiana 26. Parts of coun-ty road 300 West and Indi-ana 26 will be removed.“The accident situation

there, especially at thenorth turn, had beenawful,” said Watson.“That’s probably one ofour highest-accidentintersections in the coun-ty. …“The new alignment is

going to make that 100percent better.”

“The elimination ofthe 90-degree angle wasmore of a safety target,”agreed Nathan Riggs,public information direc-tor for INDOT’s east cen-tral district. “As a high-speed, high traffic vol-ume state highway, that’sjust not a modern, safedesign. So in rebuildingthe roadway it just madesense to modernize andimprove the safety ofthat curvature.”The curved section of

road that currently con-nects Indiana 26 andcounty road 200 Westnear Jay County HighSchool will also beremoved. The intersec-tion of 200 West and Indi-ana 26 will remain openas much as possible dur-ing construction, but willlikely be closed for abouttwo months this summer.The project has been

under discussion forabout 20 years, and thestate purchased morethan 7 miles of right ofway in 2009 to allow forthe elimination of theturns at county road 300West. That same year,Indiana 26 was repavedfrom Hartford City toIndiana 1.Improving the road

from Indiana 1 to Indiana67 remained on INDOT’sproject list, but didn’tquite make it to the topuntil this year.“We want to keep all of

our roads and bridges inas good of condition aspossible,” said Riggs. “Wetry to target the projectsthat need it the most.”He noted that the work

was originally expectedto be a two-year job, butthat INDOT and utilitycompanies were able towork together to tightenthat timeline.

Continued from page 1Trump is exuding confi-

dence, telling a cheeringcrowd Sunday in TerreHaute: “If we win here, it’sover, OK?”Not quite, as the New

York real estate mogul can’twin enough delegates Tues-day to clinch the Republi-can nomination. But afterhis wins in five states lastweek, Trump no longerneeds to win a majority ofthe remaining delegates incoming races to lock up theGOP nomination.Cruz has no such cush-

ion. Already eliminatedfrom reaching 1,237 dele-gates needed to win thenomination outright, hedesperately needs a victoryin Indiana to keep Trumpfrom that number andpress ahead with his strate-gy of claiming the nomina-tion at a contested conven-tion in Cleveland this sum-mer.

“This whole long, wildride of an election has allculminated with the entirecountry with its eyes fixedon the state of Indiana,”Cruz said Sunday at a latenight rally. “The people ofthis great state, I believe thecountry is depending onyou to pull us back from thebrink.”The importance of Indi-

ana for Cruz became evi-dent even before he and fel-low underdog John Kasichformed an alliance of sorts,with the Ohio governoragreeing to pull his adver-tising money from Indianain exchange for Cruz doingthe same in Oregon andNew Mexico.But that strategy, which

appeared to unravel even asit was announced, can’thelp either man with thetens of thousands of Indi-ana voters who had alreadycast ballots: Early votingbegan in Indiana three

weeks before they hatchedtheir plan.It also risks alienating

those who have yet to vote,said veteran IndianaRepublican pollster Chris-tine Matthews. She said shebelieves many have contin-ued to vote for Kasich inIndianapolis and in thewealthy suburbs north ofthe city.“Indiana voters don’t like

the idea of a political pact,or being told how to vote,”Matthews said.Trump went after Cruz

on Sunday, suggestingevangelical conservativeshave “fallen out of lovewith him” and mocked hisdecision to announce for-mer GOP presidential can-didate Carly Fiorina as hisrunning mate.“They’re like hanging by

their fingertips,” he said,mimicking Cruz andKasich: “Don’t let me fall!Don’t let me fall!”

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewFORT RECOVERY — The first

two times through the lineup, theWildcats had a difficult time figur-ing out Chelsea Timmerman.The Indian softball team strug-

gled to get outs the next two timesthrough the order.Houston scored four runs during

the fifth inning and tacked on ninemore thanks to a record-breakinggrand slam during the seventhinning in a 14-0 victory Saturdayover the Fort Recovery Indians inthe first game of a doubleheader.Game two was canceled because

of rain.“Unfortunately the wheels fell

off in the fifth (inning),” saidFRHS coach Jeff Vaughn, whoseteam dropped to 2-15 on the season.“One earned run out of 14 … ourdefense definitely let us down.”Houston (12-5) scored a run in

the top of the first inning, but was-n’t able to tack on any more for thenext three frames.Rebekah New hit a leadoff dou-

ble in the fifth inning for the Wild-cats, and moved to third on a sacri-fice bunt. Timmerman struck outBrooklyn Felver for the second out,but consecutive errors put theWildcats ahead 2-0 with runners atthe corners. Macey Stang followed with an

RBI single, and Jenna Jarrettripped a two-run double to rightcenter field for a 5-0 Houstonadvantage.

By IAN HARRISONAssociated PressTORONTO — DeMar DeRozan pushed

the Toronto Raptors into the secondround — finally.DeRozan scored 30 points and Toronto

beat the Indiana Pacers 89-84 on Sundaynight in Game 7 to advance to faceMiami in the Eastern Conference semifi-nals.The Raptors won a best-of-seven series

for the first time in franchise history.“We got the monkey off our back,

more than anything, from these pastcouple of years,” DeRozan said. It justfeels good to get that off.”The Raptors won their first postseason

series since a five-game triumph overthe New York Knicks in 2001, ending theNBA’s longest active drought betweenseries victories. Toronto lost in the first

round the previous two seasons, includ-ing a Game 7 loss to Brooklyn in 2014and a sweep to Washington last year.Jonas Valanciunas had 15 rebounds

and 10 points, Rookie Norman Powelladded 13 points, and Kyle Lowry had 11for Toronto, set to open at home againstthe Heat on Tuesday night.DeRozan, who struggled with his

shooting throughout the series, was 10of 32 in Game 7.“He was huge,” coach Dwane Casey

said. “I thought he got his swagger back,his rhythm back a little bit.”Paul George led Indiana with 26 points

and 12 rebounds, George Hill added 19points, and Monta Ellis had 15.George called DeRozan, a fellow All-

Star and teammate with the U.S. nation-al team, “a special player.”

Pacers lose in Game 7

By JENNA FRYERAP Auto Racing WriterTALLADEGA, Ala. —

Two cars went airborne,35 were involved in anaccident of some kind,and Danica Patrick hadthe wind knocked out ofher in a vicious crash intothe wall.Just another demolition

derby at Talladega Super-speedway.Brad Keselowski won

the crash-fest Sunday thatwas dominated by multi-ple wrecks that causedmillions of dollars indamage to race teams. Itwas Keselowski’s fourthcareer win at Talladegaand second victory of theseason, and ended JoeGibbs Racing’s streak offour consecutive victo-ries.“Crazy day. Somehow

we managed to stay aheadof or out of all the chaos,”

Keselowski said. “That’show Talladega goes.Sometimes we run hereand everybody kind oflines up against the wall,and sometimes we comehere and it’s crazy side byside, wreck ‘em up, flip‘em.“I think that’s kind of

the allure to coming herebecause you don’t knowwhat you’re going to get.”That’s not entirely true

about Talladega, whichmore times than not turnsinto a mess of wreckedrace cars.Keselowski said that’s

just part of restrictor-plate racing at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.“Racing has always

been that balance of dare-devils and chess players,this has always been moreof a daredevil-type track,”said Keselowski.

See WWiinnss page 9

Keselowski winscrash-filled race

Continued from page 8“The girls were swinging

over top of the ball the firstcouple of innings andweren’t making good con-tact,” Houston coach BrentNew said. “We were tryingto get them to move up inthe box but still keep theirweight back. Once they didthat they started makinggood contact.“That is basically what it

came down to — stayingback on the ball.”After the bottom of the

Wildcat lineup went downin order during the sixthinning, it was the top of theorder that sparked the nine-run seventh. Micalah Hens-ley reached on an error, andthen a single from KaylaNew and an outfield errorlet Hensley score. Two bat-ters later Jarrett hit an RBIgroundout to make it 8-0Wildcats.Brittany Timmerman

later hit a two-run single,and then Hensley launcheda 1-0 pitch from ChelseaTimmerman over thescoreboard in left field for agrand slam. It was the 16thhomer of her career to set anew school record.“I think the girls had

been through the lineuptwo or three times and theywere seeing the ball better,making much better con-tact,” Brent New said. “Justseeing the ball through thelineup three or four times iswhat makes a difference.”Aside from two bad

innings, Timmermanpitched well. She scatteredeight hits, only one of the 14Wildcat runs was earned,she walked one and struckout 12. The Tribe defensesimply gave too many extraouts.“All year she’s pitched

pretty well, she just hasn’thad a whole lot of help withher on the defensive end,”Vaughn said.Much like Houston did

early off Timmerman, FortRecovery had a difficulttime picking up on Stang’spitches. The righty record-ed strikeouts for eight ofthe first nine outs, and fin-ished with 13 on the day.The Indians only had twohits, a single during thethird inning from Timmer-man and an infield singleby Audra Metzger in theseventh.

Many of Stang’s strikesinduced swings, but theTribe just couldn’t put thebat on the ball.“(Stang) has a natural

rise when she throws theball so it is kind of hard topick it up at times,” Newsaid. “It comes up higher inthe zone than what you’reexpecting as a batter. Whenshe’s on she does a reallygood job.”The Indians threatened

during the sixth inningwhen back-to-back errorsgave the home team run-ners at the corners. Tim-merman was thrown out atthe plate for the second out,and Devin Post popped outto the right fielder to endthe frame.“There were some good

at bats, we had some girlsthat went six, seven pitchesin their at bats,” Vaughnsaid. “The girl pitched agood game. It was just oneof those days we couldn’thit the ball.”

Continued from page 8“Regardless of his strug-

gling to shoot in thisseries, he’s special,”George said. “He’s stillprobably one of the mostpoised and under-controlplayers I’ve guarded.”George, whose strong

performances helped carryseventh-seeded Indianainto Game 7, made just twoof eight attempts in thesecond half and admittedafterward to being tired.“I ran out of gas a little

bit,” he said. “I’m not goingto try and sit here and beSuperman. I definitely waswinded late in the game.”Toronto nearly ran out

of gas, too, scoring just 11points in the final quarterand watching as the Pacerswhittled a 16-point deficitdown to three in the finalfew minutes.

“We stunk it up in thefourth quarter,” Caseysaid. “It wasn’t pretty,believe me, but our defensecarried us down thestretch.”Up 78-64 after three, the

Raptors didn’t make theirfirst basket of the fourthuntil a 3 by Powell at 8:19.Joseph followed with apullup jumper to make it81-67, leading to an Indianatimeout.The Pacers responded

by scoring 12 of the next14 points, cutting it to 85-79 with 3:23 remaining.Indiana cut it to three at85-82 on Ellis’ 3-pointerwith 2:37 left, but Lowryanswered with a drivinglayup.George made a pair of

free throws with 52 sec-onds left to pull Indianawithin three again at 87-84.

Continued from page 8Chris Buescher’s car

flipped three times in anearly crash, and MattKenseth was turnedupside down in the waninglaps. In Kenseth’s accident,

Patrick hit hard into anenergy-absorbing wallthat that seemed to buckleupon impact. Sheappeared shaken after thehit and hustled out of herburning car.“I have a pretty decent

bruise on my arm and myfoot, and my head feels likeI hit a wall at 200,” shesaid. “My chest hurtswhen I breathe.”There were 21- and 12-

car accidents in the final28 laps. And, as Keselowskicrossed the finish line,another wreck in the backof the pack punctuated thesloppy day. NASCAR’s boxscore showed 35 of the 40

cars were involved in somesort of accident.Only 21 of the 40 cars

finished on the lead lap,and 12 cars were ruled outof the race.Second-place finisher

Kyle Busch said he lookedin his rearview mirror atone point and only sawfour cars without somesort of damage“I hate it. I’d much

rather be at home,” said

Busch, the reigning SprintCup Series champion.“I’ve got a win. I don’t needto be here.”Austin Dillon finished

third and said he enjoyedthe race, even though itwas nerve-racking. Dillonwas in his own horrificcrash at Daytona last Julyand said the style of rac-ing at restrictor-platetracks creates an atmos-phere of danger.“We all have to do it. I

don’t know how many real-ly love it,” Dillon said. “Iknow our mom’s, wivesand girlfriends don’t likeit. We don’t like to be partof crashes. If people arecheering for crashes, man,it’s not a good thing.”The pace of Sunday’s

race was up a tick becauseof potential rain thatcould have shortened theevent from its scheduled180 laps.
