he first three seconds were a microcosm of the entire game.

Ball State senior center Majok Majok couldn’t handle the opening tip, and the ball quickly found its way into the hands of Akron guard Deji Ibitayo running hard at the rim.

Ball State’s freshman guard Zavier Turner ran back to defend, but was easily thrown aside by Ibitayo’s 6-foot4, 205-pound frame.

The Cardinals matched the Zips blow-for-blow in the second half, but couldn’t contain the team’s size and physicality, losing 68-72 in its Mid-American Conference opener.

“Coming in, we knew it was a physical team,” senior forward Chris Bond said. “We wanted to come in and match that or exceed it. If you back down, it’s going to be an easy game for them.”

Both teams traded fouls in the first half — a combined 20.

With a smile on his face, Akron head coach Keith Dambrot said his message to his team at halftime was to “quit fouling.”

NEWS | BRAVING THE SNOW

DN PHOTO EMMA ROGERS

Bethany Cole and other students walk to class in the Quad on the first day of the semester. Campus came to life Wednesday morning after extreme cold and snow canceled the first two days of the semester. Crews are still working to clear the sidewalks after Muncie received about foot of snow Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. “It was a little frustrating because I was ready to start my classes, but some were canceled because my teachers couldn’t get to school,” Cole said.

FLOOD: Low-lying areas, drainage issues may be areas of concern over weekend | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The weather service predicts rain for this weekend, which also could increase the chance of flooding. Call said that 1 to 1.5 inches of rain wouldn’t be enough to cause too much flooding, but 2 inches could have an effect.

Jim Lowe, director of engineering and construction operations, said this situation is very different from most situations with the potential of flooding.

He is concerned about the possibility of snow blocking drains, causing the water from rain and melting snow to accumulate.

“Under normal conditions when it’s rain, we would be OK — we would withstand that,” Lowe said. “Certainly, there would be puddles here and there. In this situation, you’ve got snow that’s going

to hold it back.”

The grounds crew is taking precautions to ease the situation.

“What we will do, as we do when we know we have the potential to flood, is we’ll go back and make sure all of our sub pumps are working,” Lowe said. “We make sure all of our docks are clean where they are low lying. And any drains that can be identified and cleaned will be cleaned of snow, so water will flow through those and flow away.”

They will start taking large piles of snow from campus to the Heath Farm Recreation Field, which is north of campus. Lowe said this process would take days.

Although Call predicts the flooding will be considerably less than in December, Lowe said it’s difficult to predict how bad and where excess

FLOOD TIPS For anyone driving in or near flooded areas, here are tips for car safety: • Six inches of water reaches the bottom of most cars and will cause loss of control and possible stalling.

• Many vehicles will float on a foot of water.

• Don’t drive through a flooded road because depth is not always obvious.

• Don’t drive around a barricade.

• It’s harder to notice flood issues during the night, so be cautious.

Source: ready.gov/floods water may collect.

“I can’t think of a time when we’ve had this much snow fall in this short of a period of time,” Lowe said. “It could be interesting or it could be a nonevent.”

Braving the bitter cold for a snowy game is typical for children, but sometimes, adults want to play in the snow. Having snowball fights, building snowmen and making snow angels are great basics to winter fun. Let’s take it a step further with a few fresh ideas to get you out of the house on dreary winter days.

A few good areas on campus are the south side of Woodworth Complex and the east area by John R. Emens Auditorium and the Arts and Communications Building.

SNOW SCULPTING

Building traditional snowmen isn’t anything new, so change it up by creating characters or a scene with snow. Students

have already built igloos and abnormally tall snowmen.

SPREADING JOY

This activity might be less thrilling, but if you enjoy mystery and making strangers smile, then this will keep you entertained.

While walking by piles of snow, bus stop benches or the areas in front of residence halls, leave a message or picture for passersby. A small reminder to have a good day or a picture to laugh at might warm up people on the way to class.

FOLLOW THE FOOTPRINT TAG

Bringing back childhood games can be exciting, but with the risk of slipping on ice it can be dangerous. Instead of the traditional game of tag, take care and walk a little slower with an added rule.

To make things safe and more challenging, players can only step in the footsteps already created by other players.

No matter what you do to keep entertained in the winter, remember to stay warm and be safe.

Wind turbines spark controversy Some homeowners complain shadows, sound are disruptive

CLEAN ENERGY LAW In May 2011, Indiana passed Senate Bill 251, also known as the Clean Energy Law.

|

LACY BURSICK, MITCH MARLOW AND MITCH MARLOW news@bsudailynews.com

Indiana’s wind resources could provide more than 400 percent of the state’s current electricity needs, but the turbines have caused unrest in several towns.

Indiana is currently ranked 15th in the U.S. for wind resources, according to the National Renewable Energy Lab. Its 930 wind turbines account for more than 2.7 percent of the state’s energy production, according to the Indiana Office of Energy Development.

Delaware County has discussed wind farm development, but the county decided to do more research during a 18- to 24-month period before continuing, said Delaware County Commissioner Larry Bledsoe.

“The planning commissions are the ones responsible for writing an ordinance and wanted more time to study more about the effect of property values, noise levels as it pertains to setbacks and the shadow flicker that is claiming to cause illnesses,” Bledsoe said.

Some of these issues have arisen in other Indiana communities, including Madison County.

“I hate them; I loathe them; I wish I could blow them all up,” said Malissa Douglas, a Madison County resident whose home is in the epicenter of the Wildcat I Wind Farm. “They’re loud and keep everybody up at night. My 1-year-old daughter does not

It created the Comprehensive Hoosier Option to Incentivize Cleaner Energy, or CHOICE, which set goals for Indiana to raise its renewable energy percentages. The goals are: 4 percent by 2018 7 percent by 2024 10 percent by 2025 The goals and incentives for the green energy portfolio initiative is currently optional, but strongly advised for businesses.

sleep at night. They’ve kept her up every night. I have migraines now — I’ve never had a migraine in my life.”

The Wildcat I Wind Farm, the most recently completed wind farm project, opened last winter in Tipton and Madison counties.

The project was led by E.ON Climate & Renewables North America, a company based out of Chicago.

The farms haven’t caused grief for everyone, though.

The Jarrett family has eight turbines on their 1,500-acre farm in Madison County.

“It’s good, clean energy and

brings a lot of money to the county,” Kent Jarrett said.

The amount they receive for each turbine depends on the amount of kilowatts produced, but he said they start around $6,000 a year.

Jarrett said he was able to get extra work helping E.ON and White Construction, the company that built the project. White Construction purchased its supplies locally from Tops Home Center in Elwood, Ind. “It was a win, win situation,” said Imran Malik, a member of the Tipton County Citizens for Responsible Development. “It’s

good for our environment. It’s good for our economy because all of the land owners get a good amount of money as a lease amount, and the county get some funds, so there was no opposition to speak of.”

According to E.ON, the wind farm creates electricity that could power 60,000 homes.

Despite financial gain or clean energy, some residents don’t feel the turbines are worth the risks they see.

Douglas said she now has to take two different medicines a day to manage her migraines and that the turbines even in-

terfere with her TV signal.

“When I leave for work at 5:30 a.m., you come outside and it sounds like you’re in front of I-465,” she said. “It scared me — it sounded like a semi. They say they only go one speed, and they’re lying.

At night, you come out and they’re so loud, and they’re spinning so much faster.”

Another resident just down the road experiences the opposite.

“I don’t hear them,” Jarrett said. “I hunt three or four nights a week and I am right underneath them, and they’re never very loud. If it’s 25 mph wind,

you can hear them whipping, but if the wind gets above that, they shut down anyway.”

Although concerns have risen, juwi solar inc., based in Boulder, Colo., has proposed to build another wind farm in the area called Prairie Farms. Some residents are in opposition and have signs in their yard promoting tiptonwindconcerns.com to keep turbines at a safe distance from homes.

“We don’t oppose wind energy as Tipton County [Citizens for Responsible Development], but we do believe that it needs to be developed in a safe manner,” Malik said. “We support that setbacks should be far enough so that the property values are not affected or impacted. And that the health issues are not there, shadow flicker is not there [and] noise goes away with the distance. The setback is the one key parameter for protecting the people.”

Lebanon and Iraq.

As a result, a Syrian rebellion whose aim was the removal of President Bashar al-Assad is evolving into something both bigger and more ambiguous: a fight increasingly led by Sunni jihadis — often foreign and animated mainly by hatred of Shiites — who are determined to create an Islamic state.

Battling these extremists is a coalition that includes moderates who are horrified that

their rebellion in Syria has been discredited, with parts of the country falling under strict religious law.

For moderates in the Middle East, the renewed assertiveness of the extremists is increasingly taking on the aspect of a regional calamity.

“The war in Syria has poured gasoline on a raging fire in Iraq, and conflicts in both countries are feeding upon one another and complicating an already

complex struggle,” said Fawaz A. Gergez, director of the Middle East Center at the London School of Economics. “Now the reverberations of the Syria war are being felt on Arab streets, particularly Iraq and Lebanon, and are aggravating SunniShiite tensions across the Arab Middle East.”

Why now? Experts see a fundamental al-Qaida characteristic of feeding on social, religious and ideological

cleavages — of the kind that have been exposed in spectacular fashion in the SunniShiite divide in Syria. It is fed by a vicious circle hugely frustrating to the moderate mainstream rebels: the more the West shows reluctance to intervene — fearful that helping them means also aiding global jihad even indirectly — the more there is a void for the jihadis to step into, capitalizing on the widening

sectarian schism to recruit new fighters.

The al-Qaida-linked group that calls itself the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has made no secret of its desire to turn Syria’s civil war into a regional conflagration that would allow it to take firmer root. Its very name, rebranded last year from the more-local Islamic State of Iraq, spells out its cross-border ambitions.

OBAMA MAY PLACE NEW LIMITATIONS ON SECURITY, NSA Decisions to lessen international spying come by next week | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is expected to tighten restrictions on U.S. spying on foreign leaders and also is considering changes in National Security Agency access to Americans’ phone records, according to people familiar with a White House review of the nation’s surveillance programs.

Obama could unveil his highly anticipated decisions as early as next week. Ahead of that announcement, he is consulting with lawmakers, privacy advocates and intelligence officials who were invited to White House meetings Wednesday and Thursday.

“He’s at that stage still where

he’s listening and discussing with a variety of stakeholders and appreciates very much the opinions and counsel he’s getting on this matter,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Among the changes Obama is expected to announce is more oversight of the National Intelligence Priorities Framework, a classified document that ranks U.S. intelligence-gathering priorities and is used to make decisions on scrutiny of foreign leaders. A presidential review board recommended increasing the number of policy officials who help establish those priorities, which could result in limits on surveillance of allies.

Documents released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed the U.S. was monitoring the communications of several friendly foreign leaders. The revelations outraged many leaders, and U.S. officials say the disclosures have damaged Obama’s global relations.

It’s hard to make a game plan for an opponent when there’s nothing to see.

That’s the problem for Joel Walton, the Ball State men’s volleyball head coach. With an upcoming match against Sacred Heart on Saturday, he would normally spend hours in his office, pouring over details in game film. He would watch opponents’ tendencies and weak spots, looking to see where his team could take advantage to get a win.

He can’t do that because Sacred Heart hasn’t played a game this season.

“It’s been pretty difficult considering they don’t actually play until Friday night,” Walton said.

“We’ll get a little information then and do our best to use that.”

Walton named junior outside attacker Enzo Mackenzie and senior setter Jason Kinney from Sacred Heart as two players his team will have to watch based on previous experiences playing

The Ball State men’s volleyball team celebrates after getting a point in the match against Loyola on Nov. 10 at Worthen Arena. Ball State will play against Sacred Heart on Saturday at home. Last season, Ball State defeated the team 3-1.

them. In particular, Kinney plays a dangerous role because he has seen time as a middle and left side attacker.

Ball State knocked off Sacred Heart last season 3-1 when Kinney was the main offensive weapon. He took 40 swings at the ball and finished with 16 kills. His well-rounded game could cause problems for Ball State’s players if they aren’t sure where to expect him.

“The trickiest parts about that team this year is figuring out their personnel package, along with trying to help our

guys figure out how to be successful against those players,” Walton said.

Regardless of who’s across the net, Walton highlighted serves as one of the biggest problems he wants cleared up before Saturday’s match.

Against UC Irvine, Ball State landed 76.4 percent of its serves, which he said is a number that puts the team in a hole without forcing the opposing team to touch the volleyball. Senior outside attacker Urim Demirovski struggled the most by missing four times, although the three

misses from freshman outside attacker Brendan Surane didn’t look much better.

“We’ve spent a lot of time this week going over the thought process of serving, the technique and giving our guys the number of serving reps they need to become comfortable,” Walton said.

Although Sacred Heart doesn’t have the offensive firepower that UC Irvine had, digging into a hole because of serving errors isn’t desirable for Walton. He said this is partly because players are having trouble meshing at practice.

Ball State MAC contest results in narrow defeat Senior Chris Bond scores 13 points to lead Ball State DAVID K. JONES CHIEF REPORTER | @dkjones_BSU Ball State’s Chris Bond began his last run at the MidAmerican Conference on Wednesday night.

His team played host to the defending MAC champions and lost a close game 6872. It was the first conference game under head coach James Whitford.

“I was proud of our competitiveness out there,” he said. “[Akron] kind of set the standard for how hard you play in this league, and we wanted to make sure that us getting to play them was a great challenge.”

Akron head coach Keith Dambrot has been with the Zips since the 2004-05 season. Ball State is playing under its fourth coach since Dambrot’s first year.

“Down the line, they’re going to have a good team,” Dambrot said as he praised Ball State’s potential.

Seniors Bond, Jesse Berry and Majok Majok led the Cardinals. Bond finished with a team high 18 points on 4-of9 shooting, but he knocked down 9-of-10 free throws.

Majok finished with another double-double as he scored 16 points and collected 13 rebounds. Berry finished with 12, scoring 6 points from deep.

“I have a lot of respect for Chris Bond,” Dambrot said.

“He’s an unbelievable offensive rebounder. He’s stolen the ball at the highest rate of anybody in this league, and

THE LINEUP

YOUR GUIDE TO WEEKEND SPORTING EVENTS

Although there’s individual talent, the players aren’t in sync with each other, leading to lost points and missed opportunities.

Against UC Irvine, a pass went haywire and drifted toward the left. Three Ball State players surrounded it. The ball dropped to the floor, and the teammates looked at each other puzzled as to who was supposed to take the ball.

Those mistakes can lead to losses if enough occur.

Walton doesn’t need game film to see that.

Ball State played with intensity and resolve against a team it hasn’t defeated in a decade. Based on the home crowd, officiating had a rough night as the 2,606 roared with displeasure at each of the 24 fouls called against the Cardinals.

For Bond and his fellow seniors, this is the last time that they get to play in the MAC before graduating. For someone who has been a consistent player since arriving in 2010 with Berry, this will be his last chance to

“You want to win every game, it’s your last goaround.” Bond said. “You want to go out with a ball — I want to go through it and dominate.”

Ball State travels Saturday to face Kent State, which is another tough Ohio team.

“I feel like with each test

we’re getting better,” Whitford said. “With each passing week, we have to make another step forward — I feel like we’re taking steps, and I’m hungry to take more.”

After an 9-point loss to Akron, the Ball State women’s basketball team will travel tonight to Eastern Michigan with a 0-1 record in the MidAmerican Conference.

Eastern Michigan is 11-1 on the season with its defeat coming against Big Ten opponent Michigan. The Eagles are 1-0 in MAC play after one contest against Kent State.

After posting an underwhelming 5-6 record in nonconference play, Ball State will look for a competitive game against the Eagles before returning home for backto-back games.

With just 159 given away and 290 takeaways on the schedule, the Eagles have a turnover margin of 10.9. The team’s efficiency with the ball

will make for a good matchup with a Ball State team that has been prone to turnovers all season.

Ball State has lost 227 turnovers whereas it’s gained 187 takeaways. The Cardinals also had trouble hitting shots from the floor.

Though senior point guard Brandy Woody improved her shooting in recent games, she shot 0-4 in Ball State’s loss to Akron. After a slow start to the season, she found her shot for a short span, highlighted by a 3-for-6 three-point shooting performance against IPFW. As a team, Ball State shot 53.1 percent from the floor in the win over IPFW. Eastern Michigan has held its opponents to 38.1 percent from the floor.

Eastern Michigan has held its opponents to 65.8 points per game, about 20 points less than its own point per game total.

The Eastern Michigan defense averages 13 steals per game, as well. Ball State averages 7.

BASKETBALL: Players go down to wire in close game to open league schedule | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 At the beginning of the second half, officials stepped in to curb the physical play. Prior to that, the crowd became increasingly upset at the officiating. Two double technicals were called within four minutes of each other.

One was called on Majok, the other on freshman guard Mark Alstork.

By the end of the game, the officials had called 53 fouls

in total — 29 for Akron and 24 Ball State. Ball State freshman forward Franko House fouled out with 4:31 to play in the game.

The physical play noticeably affected Turner’s game, especially in the second half. One of Turner’s strengths is his quickness off the dribble, and the size and length of Akron forced him to adjust his layups in the paint.

Turner consistently tried

to draw contact on drives against Akron. For the most part, it didn’t work. Turner shot just two free throws in the contest.

He finished the game 2-of-8 from the field with five turnovers and three assists.

“I think he did pretty good [responding to Akron’s physicality],” Majok said. “I didn’t think he had a good game, but he kept playing hard.”

Dambrot was nothing but

complimentary of Ball State.

“Those guys are good players, they’re just young,” he said. “You have to be patient.

I know the fans don’t want to hear that, but you have to be patient.”

Akron shot 3-for-23 from 3-point range in the game, partially because of Ball State’s defense and partially due to shots not falling.

“We were trying to be very careful to make sure we didn’t

run in [into the paint] on certain guys,” Ball State head coach James Whitford said.

Whitford mentioned Akron’s Reggie McAdams and Jake Kretzer as players Ball State tried to run at when they drove toward the paint.

Of McAdams and Kretzer’s 14 combined field goal attempts, 10 came from long range. Kretzer made the pair’s only 3-pointer.

“Our job was to try to make

those guys score inside the arc,” Whitford said. “I thought we did a good job on them.”

After the game, it was clear Ball State was proud of its performance against the back-to-back MAC East regular season champions, but by no means satisfied with a loss.

“I feel like we really competed,” Whitford said. “The good news is, we know we can play a lot better in our locker room.”

Opposition gathers against transgender rights law Calif. public schools spark gender talks, dissent asks for vote | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — A new California law that spells out the rights of transgender students in public schools faces roadblocks as opponents attempt to repeal it at the ballot box, state elections officials said Wednesday.

Petitions, circulated by backers of a proposed voter referendum on the law, showed they were enough to trigger further review of the signatures needed to qualify the measure for the November ballot, according to studies compiled by the secretary of state.

Projections based on random sampling indicated that the referendum’s backers — a coalition of conservative groups called Privacy for All Students — obtained 95.6 percent of the 504,760 signatures required to force a public vote on the law, which the California Legislature passed last year and Gov. Jerry Brown signed.

That was a few thousand more than they needed to prompt the next step in the qualification process — a full check of all 619,244 signatures submitted, the secretary of state’s office said.

It could take more than a month for that work to be completed. County election officials have until Feb. 24 to

review the signatures gathered in their jurisdictions to see if they were obtained from properly registered voters and then to report their findings to the state.

If the referendum makes the ballot, the law will be put on hold until the election determines whether it survives or is repealed. “We wait with anticipation as we move into the next phase of the referendum process,� Karen England of the Privacy for All Students coalition said in an email to supporters. “We feel confident that a full count will result in us securing 100 percent of the signatures needed to put this referendum on the ballot.

The referendum would have made the ballot outright if the initial spot-check had shown that the signatures turned in for verification had a validity rate of 110 percent, which would have put them well over the minimum qualification target.

The law that is the subject of the referendum attempt took effect Jan. 1. It guarantees students in grades K-12 the right to use school facilities, such as bathrooms and locker rooms, and to participate in the sex-segregated activities that correspond with their expressed genders instead of their school records.

Supporters said it was needed to spell out protections that already exist under state anti-discrimination laws, but are overlooked or improperly applied by edu-

Opponents maintain it violates the privacy of youngsters who may be uncomfortable sharing facilities with classmates of the opposite sex.

Transgender Law Center Executive Director Masen Davis, whose Oakland-based nonprofit co-sponsored legislation that led to the law’s enactment, said he is confident the referendum will fall short of the ballot, but thinks voters will reject it if they are faced with the question in November. “I think it’s really important people know this is not about co-ed bathrooms,� Davis said. “This is about schools focusing on the needs of each student on a case-by-case basis so they can focus on school.�

GENDER VS. SEX The American Psychological Association has separate definitions for sex and gender, both of which impact a person’s identity.

SEX

Sex is a biological status assigned at birth that deals mainly with physical characteristics and is classified as male or female.

GENDER

Gender is referred to as a social construct that results from roles, behaviors and activities. necticut, have implemented similar policies by regulation. But California is the first state to detail the rights of transgender students in schools by statute.

Although the law’s opponents have focused on potential abuses and awkward encounters in bathrooms and locker rooms, schools preparing to implement the law also are evaluating what it means for yearbook photo dress codes, sleeping arrangements for overnight field trips and activities like choirs and recreational sports where girls and boys are often separated.

The California Interscholastic Federation, which governs competitive high school sports, adopted a detailed process in 2012 that students must follow if they want to play on a team that is not consistent with their gender at birth.

Ind. guardsman will face charges of 48 bombs in car National Guard voids privileges, security after arrest in Ohio | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — A man being held Wednesday, after police say they found bombs and other weapons in his vehicle, is a specialist in the Indiana National Guard trained as an intelligence analyst, a Guard official said.

Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 43, arrested in January after a traffic stop, completed training in military intelligence in April 2010, military records show.

Lt. Col. Cathy Van Bree told The Associated Press by email Wednesday that Boguslawski’s security clearance has been suspended, along with “all favorable personnel actions,� meaning he can’t be promoted, receive awards or other privileges.

Boguslawski was transferred in November to the medical discharge unit, but Van Bree said she couldn’t discuss any information about his condition.

Boguslawski was stopped Jan. 1 for speeding on a highway west of Columbus. Madison County authorities said he was charged with illegally making or possessing an explosive device, after 48 bombs, four guns and a remote detonating device were allegedly found in his vehicle.

County authorities said an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper stopped Boguslawski for going 85 mph in a 70 mph zone. Police said although Boguslawski said he had no weapons, the of-

No attorney was listed Wednesday afternoon for him. He is scheduled for a court appearance Friday. Van Bree referred questions to the Madison County prosecutor about why Boguslawski might have been carrying the weapons. The prosecutor did not immediately return a call.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also is investigating. The bureau didn’t immediately return a call for comment.

Boguslawski completed infantry training at Fort Benning, Ga., in 1999. But Van Bree said he was never deployed overseas.

He served in the Ohio National Guard in 2002-2006. He also served in the National Guard in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee, Van Bree said.

After transferring to the Indiana National Guard in November 2007, he was employed as a groundskeeper at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center near Butlerville, Ind.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Call it the most unusual game of hideand-seek Northern Indiana has seen in a while. Anyone can play, no invitation required.

The target of this mission: find a fluorescent pink paper airplane with a 28-inch wingspan.

Here’s the catch — it could be anywhere in a strip of countryside that extends from just north of Plymouth in Marshall County to just south of South Bend in St. Joseph County. One other snag — it’s probably buried under a foot of snow.

It all stems from a world record attempt launched from eastern Illinois on Dec. 28 by members

of Fox Valley Composite Squadron, a West Chicago, Ill.-based unit of the Civil Air Patrol.

Squadron leaders started the project for youth cadet members as a science, technology, engineering and math project. Over the past two years, the group has launched several balloons. This one was different, though.

“It was a shot at the Guinness World Record for ‘highest paper airplane flight from a high-altitude balloon.’ We thought, ‘Let’s go do that,’” Brown said.

So, on Dec. 28, team members gathered at Kankakee Airport and let the balloon and paper airplane take to the sky. At first, everything seemed to go as planned.

Then a bit of déjà vu set in.

The first record-breaking attempt earlier last month ended with a failure.

“When we started to get above 80,000 feet, we all started to high-five each other,” Brown

said. “Sixty-one seconds later, after we were congratulating each other, we said, ‘Uh-oh.’”

As it was ascending through 85,153 feet — just shy of the 89,591 foot record — both the balloon and paper airplane experienced some kind of failure.

Based on telemetry data and historical weather, team members determined a cone where the balloon and plane likely landed.

“We were disappointed, of course we were,” Brown said.

“But, if this was easy, would it be worth doing?”

After efforts by the group to locate the plane came up empty, squadron officials opted to seek help from the public, and they’re offering a reward for whoever finds it.

“We’re going to try again,” Brown said. “That’s why this is so important. Recovering the plane and the payload is critical for determining what went wrong and fixing it the next time.”
