City hall will be repaired andupgraded.
Portland City Council on Tues-day unanimously approved onsecond and final reading about$250,000 in funding for the project.The proposal had passed on firstreading by a 5-2 vote Aug. 17.
The funding approved includes$139,000 for flood-related repairs,$83,200 for façade work and otherimprovements and $27,000 for anew generator.
City hall sustained significantdamage during flooding July 13and 14. Carpet and several feet ofdrywall have since been removedthroughout the building.
With those repairs needed,Portland Mayor RandyGeesaman said at council’s lastmeeting he felt it was a goodtime to make other upgrades as
well. Those improvements willinclude a stone veneer, newfront steps, several new win-dows, awning fixes and roofwork.
Council member MarkHedges had questioned thespending at the Aug. 17 meeting,saying he didn’t have enoughinformation to know if it wasnecessary. He and Kip Robinettethen voted against the measure.
The appropriation passed 7-0without comment Tuesday, andafter the meeting Hedges said
most of his questions about thework had been answered.
“We were presented with a sig-nificant packet of informationwith quotes and the missing infor-mation that just made me uneasyabout the total,” said Hedges.
Geesaman said Tuesday he isexpecting to hear back from thecity’s insurance company thisweek about how much it willreceive to repair the flood dam-age. He’s hoping for $60,000 to$75,000.

A Fort Recovery residentasked the Jay County Com-missioners whether a sec-tion of State Line Roadmight be paved soon.
Tina Schwieterman pre-pares taxes in her home,3066 State Line Road, formore than 600 clients, someof whom complain aboutthe stone road they have totravel on, she told the com-missioners at their Tues-day morning meeting.
Most of them turn ontoState Line Road from Indi-ana 26, she said. Before theyget to her house, the pavedroad turns to stone.
“I know that client basedoes have a problem withthe gravel section,” shesaid.
She wants to expand herbusiness, but first wants toknow if the road might getpaved soon.
It’s not just a matter ofexpansion and of clientsdisliking the stone road,she said. The changes frompaved surface to stone roadcan cause accidents. Schwi-eterman told the commis-sioners that once as shewalked toward a car thathad been in an accident,she found a dead body thathad been ejected from thevehicle.
“We’ve talked about it foryears … and that’s whysome of it’s gotten pavedthrough years,” commis-sioner Faron Parr said. “Italways comes down to fund-ing.”

Fort Recovery residentswill see their village’spaving project completedthis week.
Along with giving otherproject updates, villageadministrator Randy Dillerreported at Tuesday’s vil-lage council meeting thatWagner Paving had beengrinding the tops of streetsand would start pavingtoday.
“They’re hoping to be inand out of here by the endof the week,” Diller said.
First, Railroad, Bound-ary, Broadway, Oak, Third,High and Wagner streetsshould be repaved by Satur-day morning.
Already completed ishydraulic work at the vil-lage’s sewer lagoons. Theimprovements by Tom’sConstruction should allowsewage to flow more thor-
oughly around the lagoonsbefore exiting.
Moving more slowly is aneffort to replace damagedbricks on Wayne Street.The village and ReadingRock, which supplied thebrick pavers, disagree onhow many bricks wereimperfectly made and howmany have been damagedby the village during snowremoval. Diller told councilhe’s trying to bring in animpartial inspector and gettheir opinion.
“I’d like to get somebodyto come take a look at it thathas no ties to the villageand just tell me what theythink is happening upthere,” Diller said.
In other business, thecouncil:
•Spoke again with Dillanand Paige Schulze, who liveon Sharpsburg Road and donot want to be annexed intothe village. Fort Recovery
hopes to annex land east ofOhio 49 and south ofSharpsburg Road becauseit is between the village andthe planned CountryBreeze subdivision.
The Schulzes again ques-tioned whether annexationwould really benefit them,and were again told that thevillage does not want toestablish a precedent ofallowing pockets of non-vil-lage land within FortRecovery, which would hap-pen if the 12 propertiesbetween the current villageand the future subdivisionare not annexed.
•Passed a resolutionaccepting the Local Gov-ernment Fund amount,$30,724, that Fort Recoverywill receive from the state.
•Heard from fiscal officerRoberta Staugler that thevillage can expect a total of$277,535 from propertytaxes for 2016.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indi-ana’s much-maligned stan-dardized student test willlikely be hours shorter inlength when more than400,000 students take itnext year.
State Department ofEducation projections pro-vided Tuesday to a legisla-tive panel show that thenext ISTEP test is expectedto take about nine hours.That would make it somethree hours shorter thanthe test given to Indianastudents earlier this year.
The legislative panel willhold more meetings con-cerning the test in comingweeks and is expected toissue a report leading to
changes in the way theISTEP will be given.
The exam became thefocus of outage from par-ents and educators in Feb-ruary after test times bal-looned to 12 hours. Law-makers and educators alsobalked at the cost ofadministering the test.That happened after thetest was redesigned toalign it with new statestandards created afterIndiana withdrew from thenational Common Corestandards last year.
As a result of the trou-bles, Indiana switched test-ing companies in March,scrapping vendorCTB/McGraw-Hill in favorof Pearson Education Inc.

AmericanLife in Poetry
The Cancer Port It's called a port, a harbor, haven, home,a city on the coast of my chest openedfor a passage into my heart — which we sayis where emotions live — and it's embedded,slipped into a shallow nest of flesh, a bump,a lump under the skin on the right sothe narrow street can reach the marketplaceof the aorta, receptive to anyincoming ship, needle, boat, barge, unloadingits spices, crates of dates, barrels of poisons,Etoposide phosphate, amethyst, amaranth,Cisplatin, amphorae of wine and olives.I carry it secretly under my skinbecause it is easier. I carryeverything under my skin, so lightlyI barely notice, watching from the rampartsthe dangerous rocky anchorage belowwhere goods and evils, bundled togetherand tied, arrive, waiting to be unloadedand poured out into a welcoming country.

He has asked me tojoin him for lunch several times.He has left flowers in my car witha note, and keeps asking me to goto concerts out of town becausehe says his wife doesn’t want togo and he doesn’t want to goalone.
I have tried to downplay hisadvances, but I am afraid it mightcost me my job, my boyfriend andthe ability to help my parentsfinancially. I am aware my co-workers are probably wonderingwhat is going on. How do I handlethis delicate situation and do the

It’s difficult to imagine a moredelightful gift.
Back in July I received anemail from Jay County PublicLibrary. Someone, it seemed, hadmade a donation to the librarywith two stipulations: The fundswere to be used to purchase newbooks and other materials, and Igot to decide what those bookswould be.
For a reader, for someone wholoves books, for someone who isalways more comfortable in themiddle of a book than betweenbooks, you couldn’t have askedfor anything better.
First, a confession: While I’m abig fan of public libraries, I tendto buy books rather than borrowthem. Even downloading a bookto my Nook seems less substan-tial and less satisfying than actu-ally purchasing the thing andholding it in my hands and keep-ing it on our bookshelves. That’sjust the way I’m wired.
So one of the first things Ineeded to be clear on — as I start-
ed drafting a list of books — waswhat the library already had.
And that informationimpressed me.
A significant number of thebooks I was going to recommendfor purchase were already on theshelves and being checked out.The library was already on thejob and doing it well.
Still, there were plenty of titlesto be added.
The same day that I receivedthe email I started on the list.
What was on it?I started with the new transla-
tions of “War and Peace” and“Anna Karinina.” The libraryalready had both books, butthere’s been a huge leap in trans-lation. Most libraries have a
translation that’s in publicdomain and was done about 1915.The new translations are vastlysuperior. I’d read “War andPeace” in the new translation,and I’d read “Anna Karinina” inthe old one. I wanted to makesure the library had the bestavailable.
The fiction list continued: •“Ali and Nino” by Kurban
Said, a lovely, romantic novelabout a young couple (he’s Mus-lim, she’s Christian) in the Cau-casus as the Russian Empire col-lapses. I bought my first copy inTbilisi, Georgia, and have proba-bly given away another half adozen to friends and acquain-tances.
•“The Collected Stories ofWilliam Trevor.” He’s an Anglo-Irish author who combines thebest of both of those cultures.His real last name is Cox, and hisson Patrick reports for publicradio. Patrick was a friend ofours in Moldova.
•“Life and Fate” by VasilyGrossman. Probably the bestnovel to come out of World War
II, it’s been overlooked by West-ern audiences.
•“The Light and the Dark” byMikhail Shishkin, a new Russiannovel that echoes both “War andPeace” and “Life and Fate.”
•Two books by Ha Jin, afavorite Chinese novelist; “Wait-ing” and “The Bridegroom.”
I was thrilled to see that thelibrary already had the books byJhumpa Lahiri, Salman Rushdieand Vikram Seth that I was goingto recommend. So I addedRushdie’s new book coming outthis month to the list.
As to non-fiction:•A pair by Peter Hopkirk —
“The Great Game” and “LikeHidden Fire” — which providegreat background to understand-ing Central Asia andAfghanistan. Both are fun toread, with cliff-hanger endings inevery chapter.
•“The Orientalist” by TomReiss, which is a biography ofthe unusual fellow who wrote“Ali and Nino.” He publishedunder the name Kurban Said,which sounds Muslim, but his
real name was Lev Nussimbaumand he was Jewish.
•“Lincoln and the Power of thePress,” which I received forChristmas from my wife anddevoured. The audio version wasalso purchased.
•A couple of histories — “Rus-sia” by Peter Longworth and“Iron Curtain” by Anne Apple-baum — that I have found invalu-able.
•“The Quartet” by Joseph Ellis,another of his great books aboutthe Founding Fathers. Thelibrary already had the book, so Iadded the audio version.
And more.It’s a cliché to say that it was
like being a kid in a candy store,but it’s also true.
My mission now is to pay it for-ward and pass the idea on to oth-ers. Know someone who doesn’tneed anymore “stuff” in theirlives but has a birthday comingup? How about a gift to yourlibrary with the stipulation thatthe honoree gets to choose?
Trust me, it will be a gift thatwill be remembered.

Bloomberg ViewAnchor babies, birthing
centers, giant walls, massdeportations: The debateover immigration in theU.S. presidential campaignoften calls to mind a hyper-ventilating Hollywooddrama rather than a calm,intelligent discussion.
The most urgent issue isnot the cost of illegalimmigration, because thatcost is modest at worst.The challenge is to reformthe country’s immigrationsystem — which stilllabors under principlesfrom the 1950s — so that itworks for the 21st century.
It’s wrong to call for thisdiscussion to be postponeduntil the border is secure,as some Republicans wish,since securing the border(insofar as that’s possible)goes hand in hand with fix-ing the system. And it’ssimply delusional, as someRepublicans also wish, tothink that the roughly 11million unauthorizedimmigrants already in thecountry can be deported orsomehow wished away.
As a practical matter,and putting humanitarianconsiderations aside,deportations on anythinglike that scale would takeyears and involve prohibi-tive expense — both direct-ly and through their widereconomic effects. It isn’tgoing to happen. In mostcases, some way to renderthe presence of unautho-rized immigrants lawfulwill have to be found.
However, this in turnrequires another questionto be answered: Whatabout the 4.4 millionwould-be immigrantsstuck in the queue for legalpermanent residency? Atcurrent rates of admis-sion, some of these appli-cants will have to waitmore than two decadesbefore their visas aregranted. This backlog —which grew 2.3 percent lastyear — involves a big eco-nomic cost in its own rightand encourages illegalimmigration as well. Itsprings from outdated pri-orities that threaten theU.S.’s future as a thrivingnation of immigrants.
U.S. immigration lawputs family reunificationahead of attracting work-ers with skills in shortsupply. This no longermakes sense. More thanhalf of the immigrant visabacklog is for siblings of
U.S. citizens. The case forgranting residency or citi-zenship to them, or to theadult offspring of newlyminted U.S. citizens, wasmore compelling beforecheap, speedy air travel,not to mention the Inter-net and Skype, made stay-ing in touch easier.
Meanwhile, restrictionson skills-based immigra-tion increasingly put theU.S. at a disadvantage intoday’s competition forglobal talent. In 2012,skilled immigrantsaccounted for only 6 per-cent of all new U.S. immi-grant visas. Compare thatwith 26 percent in Canadaand 33 percent in Aus-tralia.
More than two yearsago, the Senate passed acomprehensive bill thatseeks to fix such problems.It would shut down the sib-ling visa category, amongothers, and greatly expandthe number of skilled ormerit-based admissions. Itwould also create a path tolawful status for those hereillegally, sending them tothe back of the line. TheCongressional BudgetOffice estimates thatenacting the bill wouldlead over the next decadeto a net increase of 9.6 mil-lion people in the U.S. —and net savings of $135 bil-lion.
The bill isn’t perfect,and other reform propos-als are worth entertaining.But the House of Repre-sentatives has taken apiecemeal approach thathas mostly focused onpunitive enforcementmeasures.
Instead of talking aboutfantastical walls androundups, the presidentialcandidates should be talk-ing more about changingthe law to get the right peo-ple in, clearing the back-log, normalizing the statusof most of those alreadyhere, and strengtheningreporting and other sys-tems to discourage futureillegal immigration.
Enough with the low-budget drama. This dis-cussion needs to growsome brains.

INDIANAPOLIS — Once upon atime, Eric Miller cast a huge shadowover Indiana state government.
Miller — the head of AdvanceAmerica, the largest and most activeadvocacy organization for social con-servatives in the state — had somelegislators so terrified they wouldn’teven mention his name. They fearedhe would use his impressive networkof evangelical supporters to floodthe Statehouse if they crossed him.
His reputation for invincibilitywas so great that he presented a lead-ership challenge for me when Ibecame the executive director ofwhat is now the American Civil Lib-erties Union of Indiana, which oftenwas on the other side of issuesMiller cared about.
When I took that job, much ofwhat I heard from ACLU staffers,supporters and allies was aboutMiller. Even though they didn’t caremuch for Miller’s ideology, they hadtremendous, almost awed respect forhis prowess as an activist and organ-izer.
They believed he could summonconservative Christians to the State-house by the tens of thousands. Thathe could raise millions of dollars.That he could make state govern-ment roll over and do tricks like atrained dog.
At times, they even made it soundlike he could make the rivers runbackward or defy gravity.
At one meeting, some supporterswarned me, again and again, of whatMiller was going to do.
Finally, I shook my head andlaughed.
I told them I’d done quite a bit ofreporting on Miller and his opera-tion. I’d seen that he was smart,tough and very, very capable.
“But he’s just a man,” I said. “Andany man can be beat.”
Any man also can make a mistake.And Miller made a doozy when he
ran for governor in 2004.The race started out well for him.
Miller joined what was initially acrowded field of more traditional can-didates seeking the Republican nomi-nation. There were several state legis-lators and a guy named Mitch Danielswho was running for office for thefirst time in his life.
In that cluster, Miller might havewon the primary as the more main-stream candidates split the moderateand business votes among them-selves. But, one by one, the other can-didates dropped out and left it a two-man race between Daniels and Miller.
Daniels crushed him by a 2-to-1margin.
Actually, it was even worse thanthat.
Miller’s myth of invincibilityrelied on people guessing about justhow much support he had. Once heran, he quantified the number.Knowledgeable observers realizedthat the people who voted for him inthe primary represented bothMiller’s floor and his ceiling. Theyalways would stand with him, but hewouldn’t attract many more thanthat.
He wasn’t an unstoppable force.He was a man and he could be beat.While Miller remained a power in
conservative and GOP circles, he was-
n’t the power any longer. Instead ofarguing that he provided the one pathto success for Republicans, Miller hadto fall back and contend that the partycouldn’t win without him and hissupporters.
Now, following his role in the disas-trous debates over same-sex marriageand the Religious Freedom Restora-tion Act, Miller may be forced toprove that Republicans can win withhim. Next year, if the GOP loses whatseemed early on like a sure-bet holdon the governor’s office, at least asmany fingers will point in Miller’sdirection as in Gov. Mike Pence’s. IfPence falls, Miller will fall even far-ther.
But that’s the nature of candidacies— from the right or left — fueled bylittle more than resentment.
Substitute the name Donald Trumpfor Eric Miller in the paragraphsabove and what was history shifts toprophecy.
Trump has many traditionalRepublicans terrified he will lead theparty to ruin. Many politicalobservers talk about the Donald as ifhe were a supernatural force, a candi-date for whom the rules just don’tapply.
But, like Miller, his floor also is hisceiling. Once the field begins to nar-row — and it will — to one or twoother candidates, Trump will tumbleevery bit as far and as hard as Millerdid.
He’s just a man.Any man can make mistakes.And any man can be beat.

LAS VEGAS — The 157 passen-gers aboard British AirwaysFlight 2276 were settled into theirseats for the 10-hour flight fromLas Vegas to London when a loudboom rocked the aircraft.
Smoke and ash started pouringout of the plane’s left side engine,which had caught fire. Thoseaboard safely fled down emer-gency slides and across the tar-mac as flames leaped from theBritish Airways Boeing 777-200and dark black smoke billowed.
Despite the dramatic scene, theplane was evacuated within min-utes; some passengers even leftwith their luggage. Most of the 14minor injuries reported werefrom the evacuation slide andBritish Airways said today that
those who were taken to a hospi-tal were treated and released.
Reggie Bugmuncher, ofPhiladelphia, was charging herphone and waiting at a gateTuesday for her flight fromMcCarran International Airportwhen she heard people saying,“Oh, my God.” She looked outand saw “bursts of flames com-ing out of the middle of theplane.”
“Everyone ran to the windowsand people were standing ontheir chairs, looking out, holdingtheir breath with their handsover their mouths,” Bugmunch-er said.
The plane’s emergency slidesdeployed and passengers quicklyfled. She said it was a “bit moreorderly” than she would haveexpected given the dramaticnature of the fire and smoke.
Karen Bravo was a passengeron the plane. She told Las VegasTV station KTNV that a loud,sudden noise shook the aircraft.
“I thought it was a tire blow-ing out, then you heard anotherone. Then the plane juststopped,” she said.
“All you could see was smokeand then all you could see wasash,” said passenger Torill Kor-ven. “And then you looked outthe other window and all youcould see was fire.”
Firefighters stationed at theairport reached the plane twominutes after getting reports offlames, and within anotherthree minutes, everyone insidethe plane had escaped.
After firefighters extin-guished the flames, emergencyvehicles could be seen surround-ing the aircraft, which was left a
sooty gray from the smoke andfire retardant.
Federal Aviation Administra-tion spokesman Ian Gregor saidthe plane’s left engine caughtfire and an investigation wasunder way. The National Trans-portation Safety Board was col-lecting information about theincident, said Eric Weiss, aspokesman for the agency inWashington.
Clark County Deputy FireChief Jon Klassen said thecause of the fire wasn’t clearyet, but the fire didn’t appear tobreach the cabin.
Fire officials said 14 peoplewere taken to Sunrise Hospitalby early Tuesday evening forminor injuries, most a result ofsliding down the inflatablechutes to escape.
Airport spokesman Chris
Jones said passengers weretaken by the airline to hotels buthe had no additional informa-tion on their travel plans.
The airline said the aircraft“experienced a technical issue”as it prepared to take off. “Ourcrew evacuated the aircraft safe-ly and the fire was quicklyextinguished.”
British Airways said it is pro-viding passengers with hotelsand whatever else they mayneed, and added that the safetyof its customers and crew is atop priority.
The Federal Aviation Admin-istration delayed flights to LasVegas from some airports formore than two hours after thefire to slow the flow of planeswhile the disabled Boeing 777made two of the airport’s fourrunways inaccessible.

BRUSSELS — The headof the European Commis-sion issued an impas-sioned plea today forEurope to face up to itsimmigration crisis, urgingEU countries to agree bynext week to share 160,000refugees and warning thatGreece, Italy and Hungarycan no longer handle theinflux alone.
Speaking at the Euro-pean Parliament in Stras-bourg, France, Jean-Claude Juncker unveiled alist of new proposals tohelp Europe confront itsbiggest refugee emergencysince World War II.
“The refugee crisis willnot simply go away,”Juncker told EU lawmak-ers, noting that some500,000 migrants haveentered Europe this year,many from conflict-tornSyria and Libya. “It’s hightime to act.”
“We are fighting againstIslamic State. Why are wenot ready to accept thosewho are fleeing IslamicState?” he said.
Juncker’s new planinvolves sharing 120,000refugees from Greece, Italyand Hungary among 22member states, on top of aproposal the EU’s execu-tive made in May to share40,000 refugees from justGreece and Italy.
Britain, Ireland and Den-mark are not legally boundto take part, due to exemp-tions they have negotiatedpreviously. Greece, Italyand Hungary are notincluded.
The Czech Republic andSlovakia immediatelyrejected the idea that com-pulsory quotas might beimposed, while othernations had already criti-cized the new proposaleven before it was madepublic. Its chances of suc-cess hang in the balancebecause a solid majority ofthe 28 EU states must sup-port the move for it to takeplace.
More than 378,000migrants have enteredEurope this year, includingover 256,000 crossing the
sea to Greece and nearly120,000 braving theMediterranean to reachItaly, according to theInternational Organiza-tion for Migration.
Hungary estimates thatmore than 160,000 peoplehave crossed its bordersalone this year. The latestproposals were drawn upas Budapest was busybuilding an anti-migrantfence on its border withSerbia. Tens of thousandshave entered just in thelast few months, manycramming into buses andtrains bound for Germany.
Despite the urgency, theEU’s first refugee plannever won full support,and only around 32,000refugees have been allocat-ed. Hungary was amongthe countries to reject it,along with the Czech
Republic, Slovakia andPoland.
Juncker wants bothplans endorsed Monday ata meeting of EU interiorministers in Brussels.“This has to be done in acompulsory way,” he said.
In Berlin, German Chan-cellor Angela Merkelbacked the new immigra-tion plan and also calledfor it to be made compulso-ry.
“We need a bindingagreement on a bindingdistribution of refugeesamong all member states,according to fair criteria,”Merkel said. Germany hastaken in more migrantsthan any other EU country,and would have to acceptmore than 31,000 moreunder the scheme.
On Monday, Francethrew its weight behind
the EU plan by saying thatit would take in 24,000refugees this year, exactlythe figure proposed in thenew scheme.
Britain, which is not tak-ing part, announced sepa-rately that it would wel-come up to 20,000 refugeescurrently in countries out-side the EU over the nextfive years. Ireland is alsotaking 520 refugees fromcamps outside Europe.
But Czech Prime Minis-ter Bohuslav Sobotka saidtoday that his govern-ment’s opposition tomandatory quotas formigrants has not softened.
“The compulsory quotasare not a good solution,”Sobotka said in a state-ment. “To continue with adiscussion about theirestablishment all acrossEurope only prevents us
from taking really impor-tant and necessary steps.”
The Czechs argue mostof the migrants have beenheading for Germany anddon’t want to stay in theCzech Republic anyway.Hungary has also made asimilar argument.
This new responsemarks a shift to rapidhumanitarian action as theEU begins to accept thatlonger-term policy movesare ill-adapted to the scaleof the refugee emergency.
But it only accounts for afraction of the people seek-ing better lives in Europe.The EU estimates that twoin three migrants arrivingare fleeing conflict andwould probably qualify forinternational protection.Those coming in search ofjobs alone are likely to besent back home.
EU migrant deal urged

Hill had a rocky relationship withthe state and reached a $3 millionsettlement with the DOE overwidespread disruptions as thou-sands of students were kicked offtheir online exams in 2013.
On Tuesday, John O’Neal, a lob-byist for the Indiana State Teach-ers Association pointed to anoth-er problem with the ISTEP test
tied to CTB/McGraw-Hill. He saidmonthslong delays in the scoringof tests means teachers will haveto wait for merit raises. Theresults of the test are key fordetermining teacher pay raisesand improvement plans, he said.
Without action by the state,teachers could go without a por-tion of their pay during theupcoming holiday season, O’Nealsaid.

MONTICELLO — A Cal-ifornia company has pur-chased Indiana BeachAmusement Resort.
Apex Parks Group outof Aliso Viejo, Calif.,announced the acquisitionin a press release.
The privately ownedcompany acquired thepark for an undisclosedamount.
A company representa-tive addressed a projectannounced before the salethat never came tofruition and how the firmwill move forward manag-ing the park.
Indiana Beachannounced the addition ofa wave pool in May 2015.While it was projected toopen in July, the park willclose for the season laterthis month without theattraction.
“We cannot speak towhy the wave pool projectwas announced but neverinstalled,” said CourtneyRayburn, Marketing Com-munications Manager forApex Parks Group, in anemail.
She added the companyis working to determine
strategies for IndianaBeach’s future.
“We are working withthe park team to come upwith both short and longrange plans for capitalinvestments and improve-ments to the operationalinfrastructure,” shewrote.
Indiana Beach will con-tinue to operate theremainder of its regular2015 schedule, accordingto the press release. It willbe open Sept. 12, 13, and 19.
Rayburn said ApexParks Group will be deter-mining how to treat tick-ets without expirationdates in the future as wellas any price changes.
“During our initialassessments, we will belooking at pricing struc-ture, ‘ticket liability’(unused, unexpired tick-ets), promotional offers,and partners,” she wrote.“Until it is fully reviewed,we cannot make a finaldetermination on whatmay or may not change.”
Morgan RecreationVacations out of Sarasota,N.Y., purchased IndianaBeach in 2008 from the lateThomas Spackman, whotook over in 1945 and
changed its name to theone it bears today. Beforethat, the park was run byhis father, Earl Spackman,who founded it as IdealBeach in 1926.
“This is an exciting timefor Indiana Beach,” saidBob Moser, owner of Mor-gan Recreation Vacations,in the press release. “Withthe decades of experienceApex Parks brings, we arecertain they are commit-ted to providing a highquality experience for ourguests for years to come.”
John Collins, generalmanager of IndianaBeach, expressed his opti-mism toward the newownership in the pressrelease.
“We believe theresources that Apex Parksbrings to Indiana Beachwill provide us opportuni-ty for expansion andimproved infrastructure,”he said. “We’re very confi-dent that, as part of ApexParks Group, we will takethis great property andtake it to the next level.”
Apex Parks Group wasfounded in 2014, when itacquired 14 family enter-tainment centers acrossthe country.

NEW YORK — Forstretches of the 27th edi-tion of Williams vs.Williams, Venus gave Sere-na all she could handle.
And when Serena tookcontrol down the stretch toemerge with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-3victory in a well-played U.S.Open quarterfinal, allow-ing her to continue pursu-ing the first calendar-yearGrand Slam in more than aquarter-century, a smilingVenus wrapped both armsaround her little sister for awarm hug at the net andwhispered, “So happy foryou.”
“Obviously we are very,very tough competitors onthe court,” Serena saidlater, “but once the matchis over, the second it’s done,you know, we’re sisters,we’re roommates, andwe’re all that.”
Serena called theirunique sibling rivalry “thegreatest story in tennis,”and who would argue? Acouple of kids taught bytheir dad on cement courtsin Compton, California,making it all the way to thetop.
With two more matchwins, the No. 1-ranked Ser-
ena would become the firstplayer since Steffi Graf in1988 to collect all fourGrand Slam titles in a sin-gle season. Plus, if she canwin what would be herfourth U.S. Open in a row,and seventh overall, shewould equal Graf with 22major championships, themost in the professionalera and second-most everbehind Margaret Court’s24.
“That would be huge, notjust for me, but for my fam-ily, just for what it repre-sents and how hard wehave worked and where wecome from. So it would be amoment for our family,”said the 23rd-seeded Venus,who is 15 months older.“But at the same time, if itdoesn’t happen it’s notgoing to make or breakyou. We don’t have any-thing to prove. She hasnothing to prove. She’sreally the best ever.”
Serena is 16-11 in theirall-in-the-family matches,including 9-5 in majors and3-2 at the U.S. Open. And 14years to the day after Venusbeat Serena in the 2001final at Flushing Meadows,they met again with somuch at stake.

The Patriots won their confer-ence opener for the second timein as many seasons.
Despite the victory, Jay Coun-ty High School volleyball coachFred Medler still left the gymTuesday slightly disappointed.
“It wasn’t pretty by anystretch of the imagination,”said Medler, whose team defeat-ed the Bluffton Tigers 25-20, 25-13, 25-20. “We didn’t play super,super well. Bluffton did somethings that were causing usproblems.”
One of those things, Medlernoted, was hitting around JayCounty’s block, getting thedefense out of position and find-ing space down the sidelines.
“That let them be a little moresuccessful than maybe whatthey could have or should havebeen,” said Medler, whose teamis now 9-1 (1-0 Allen County Ath-letic Conference) and has wonseven straight matches since itwas swept Aug. 20 by then-Class3A No. 4 Delta.
Much of the offense forBluffton (2-8, 0-1 ACAC) camefrom its tallest player, 5-foot, 10-inch Emma Clines. She hadthree kills alone in the openingset, helping the Tigers keep thescore close early on.
To complement Clines, howev-er, senior Sara Baumgartnerand junior Emily Miller were
swinging alongside, providingkills despite their short stature.Baumgartner is 5 feet, 5 inches,tall, and Miller is an inch short-er.
“They play with their heart,that’s for sure,” Bluffton coachGretchen Grau said. “They are
little but they play hard.”Bluffton had an early lead in
the opening set until Jay Countytook a 5-3 advantage thanks tokills from Abby Barcus andKylie Osborne.
Barcus had three kills, andOsborne finished with seven.
Jay County led for the remain-der of the set, pushing its advan-tage to as many as five points,15-10. But a string of Patriotservice errors, Tiger blocks orattack errors by Jay Countykept the score close.
