Hymera Town Council: Police cars, blacktopping create lively discourse

T

By DENNIS CLARK • news.sdt@gmail.com

ypically, police cars and blacktopping are mundane topics, but they turned atypical for the Hymera Town Council at their monthly meeting Friday afternoon.

Both vehicles used by the town marshal were recently inspected.

One of them was found wanting — i.e., the black one, which was recommended to be taken out of service. The other vehicle, white in color, was fixed to be runnable, but it’s far from ideal.

I N D I A N A S T AT E FA I R COMPETITION EYE-OPENING FOR LOCAL 4-HERS

“I have to add two quarts of oil every time I fill up,” Hymera Town Marshal Darrick Cullison said of the white car. “And, it’s only a passenger car and not built for pursuit.”

The board passed a motion to bid out the black car and take it out of service.

But, the white car not being fit for police pursuits created a lively discussion among the nearly two dozen residents attending the meeting. Their consensus, it needs to be replaced, too.

“We are at a have-to-point (for replacement) … we need a new car,” Cullison noted.

The council members in attendance, J. R. Weddle and Russell Knight, stated funding a replacement was problematic.

“If we don’t have funds, let’s do a fundraiser,” town resident Connie Riggs suggested, drawing a rousing round of applause.

The board also passed a motion giving Rev. Dick Smith — who offered to seek out used police vehicles from area car dealerships free of charge — permission to act on C U L L I SO N the town’s behalf.

Next up, Hymera’s utility and street superintendent Nick Cullison discussed various blacktopping options, giving his recommendation to repave Mitchell and Jefferson streets on the northeast side of town.

Hymera stakeout leads to another arrest in connection with Muncie shooting Times staff report The Sullivan County Sheriff reports that another arrest was made in relation to a stakeout in Hymera last weekend after an early morning shooting in Muncie on Aug. 2.

“There was a third arrest in the Muncie attempted homicide,” Sullivan County Sheriff Clark Cottom noted.

“Jennifer Bradford, she was (Gregory) Grider’s girl-

friend, who was present at the Hymera scene.”

Bradford, 31, Muncie, was preliminary charged with aiding and inducing battery with a deadly weapon,

according to The Star Press (Muncie).

Grider, 27, Muncie, was arrested after he rammed a police car two times with the vehicle he was driving. A Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department deputy fired one round into his car and he fled by foot only to be taken into custody shortly after. No one was hurt in the incident.

His arrest in Hymera came about after the SCSD received information from

the Delaware County Sheriff’s Department concerning a shooting around 6:30 a.m. last Sunday near Muncie, with a report that an individual involved was believed to be heading to Sullivan County. The DCSD provided information that one individual had already been arrested in relation to the shooting, with another individual hospitalized.

It did well in its class during the 2015 Indiana State Fair rabbit show and was held back for contention in the best of breed category, but, alas, with the number of other options, Hutchison’s rabbit didn’t progress further.

she said. “The judge made pretty good comments.”

But the sheer number of other competitors and the quality of their animals was much “different” compared to the smaller pool of 4-Hers in Sullivan County.

“Well, we have a lot more competition here,” Hutchison said after showing Saturday afternoon.

“There weren’t very (many) Dutch (rabbits) in Sullivan County.”

And she wasn’t the only Sullivan County 4Her amazed at the amount of competition at the state fair.

RICHMOND

Richmond to begin blight elimination program next month The city of Richmond is scheduled to begin a blight elimination program next month by demolishing nine homes.

Metropolitan Development City Director Tony Foster tells the Palladium-Item the city received three bids from contractors to do the demolition and hopes to award a contract this week. The firm whose bid is selected will have 45 days to complete the demolition.

In 2014, the city received $3.3 million in Blight Elimination Program funding from the U.S. Treasury Department through the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. In all, the city plans to acquire, demolish and find an end use for 138 abandoned and blighted properties.

ELLETTSVILLE

Proposed Hoosier Energy solar farm facing zoning hurdles An energy cooperative’s attempt to build a solar farm in a southern Indiana county is on hold while county officials try to solve a zoning issue.

Hoosier Energy is looking at putting a solar farm west of Ellettsville in Monroe County, about 55 miles southwest of Indianapolis. The Herald-Times reports Hoosier Energy’s plans are part of an effort to construct 10 one-megawatt solar arrays throughout southern Indiana and southeast Illinois before the end of 2016.

The Monroe County Plan Commission is looking at creating a new solar farm zoning definition because of a backlash from neighboring residents who oppose rezoning the farm land for commercial or light industrial uses.

The county is considering a new zoning classification for renewable energy sites. But not all renewable energy processes are as passive as solar panels — wind turbines, for instance, loom over the landscape, threaten birds and bats and create wind noise, so officials are worried that classification might not work.

Commissioners are considering amending landscaping stipulations, setback distances and other issues that didn’t apply to solar farms.

Disaster declaration could ease strain on state’s farmers: 53 percent of Indiana’s corn crop rated fair or worse A disaster declaration is typically sought when counties begin to meet or exceed a 30 percent loss of crops.

The press release sent out regarding the state’s request to the USDA said 50 counties in Indiana have experienced such a loss at this point.

If a disaster is declared, farmers will be able to apply for assistance loans with low interest rates courtesy of the Farm Service Agency. But, Marcellino says it’s hard to tell if the yield losses are that steep locally.

“We’re still growing this crop, and we won’t know for sure,” he said.

“It’s really difficult unless you’re flying over these acres and seeing what’s out there. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait until the grain is harvested.”

In the meantime, estimates are being made with the help of the expertise of Purdue Extension educators. They report back to the state on what they feel the crop progress is in terms of general ratings.

Field agents also collect representative samples from fields throughout the state to get a feel for what’s going on out there.

“Statistically, they do a pretty good job of estimation,” Marcellino said. “When they cover that many acres, they can pretty fine-tune [the numbers]. Usually, they’re not too far off.”

The nightmare that was the 1988 agricultural season is still on the minds of area farmers.

Mother Nature dumped buckets of rain on Central Indiana early and often during the season, but by midsummer, the precipitation supply simply shut off. The early rain left root systems shallow, and with no way to reach the moisture deep in the soil, crops withered in the late summer heat.

While the summer of 2015 hasn’t been that catastrophic locally, it’s still been pretty bad. Bad enough for Gov. Mike Pence to ask the United States Department of Agriculture to declare a disaster in 53 of the state’s 92 counties, including Howard, Cass and Miami.

“Recent and unprecedented heavy rainfall across our state has had a significant impact on yield of Indiana crops and our Hoosier farmers,” Pence said. “As promised, our administration has been closely monitoring this situation and, in coordination with the Indiana Farm Service Agency, has determined federal emergency loan assistance is both prudent and warranted. Hoosier farmers can be assured that we will continue to keep a close eye on the long-term

effects on this year’s heavy rains and, as needed, work to identify additional help for those in our state’s agriculture industry.”

Even though PEN CE Kokomo received nearly 10 inches of rain in June, it’s still critical for the crops to continue to receive precipitation. Much like in 1988, the early deluge of rain has left crops with shallow root systems.

There’s still moisture deep in the soil, but most of it is too deep for crops to reach at this point.

Mother Nature gave an assist to local crops last week, with the eastern part of Howard County receiving sixtenths of an inch of rain and the western part taking in almost an inch.

“The crops don’t look like they’re suffering, but we’re in the stages where we’re getting grain fill in the corn and podding in the beans,” Howard County Purdue Extension director Paul Marcellino said. “We need about an inch of rain a week to maintain good crop development.

“It sounds crazy, and I get that,” he added. “But, because of the shallow rooting the crops have to have it.

This is when the crops need the most water, right now. We could’ve gotten a lot less rain earlier and gotten by fine. But, now we really need it.”

Minutes of silence, march mark Brown anniversary in Ferguson FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — One year after the shooting that cast greater scrutiny on how police interact with black communities, the father of slain 18-yearold Michael Brown led a march in Ferguson, Missouri, on Sunday after a crowd of hundreds observed 4 1/2 minutes of silence.

Those who gathered to commemorate Brown began their silence at 12:02 p.m., the time he was killed, for a length of time that symbolized the 4 1/2 hours that his body lay in the street after he was killed. Two doves were released at the end. Police largely remained away from the ceremony.

Michael Brown Sr. held hands with others to lead the

march, which started at the site where his son, who was black and unarmed, was fatally shot by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. A grand jury and the U.S. Department of Justice declined to prosecute Wilson, who resigned in November, but the shooting touched off a national “Black Lives Matter” movement.

Pausing along the route at a permanent memorial for his son, Michael Brown Sr. said, “Miss you.”

He had thanked supporters before the march for not allowing what happened to his son to be “swept under the carpet.”

Michael Brown Sr. had also

led a parade involving several hundred people on Saturday. He said his family is still grieving, but he believes his son’s legacy can be seen in the increased awareness of police shootings, and renewed skepticism when officers describe their side of events leading up to those shootings.

Vernice Durgins, a 60-yearold black woman from Ferguson, said she’s seen little progress in the past year.

“It makes me sick to think what happened,” she said, “I looked at it like it could have been my sons or grandsons.”

Around the world By The Associated Press JERUSALEM

Israel cracks down on Jewish extremists with new arrests Israel intensified its crackdown on Jewish extremists Sunday, imprisoning two high-profile ultranationalist Israelis for six months without charge and arresting additional suspects in West Bank settlement outposts, security authorities said.

The crackdown comes after a deadly July 31 firebomb attack on a Palestinian home in the West Bank that killed an 18-month-old boy and his father and severely wounded his mother and brother.

Tensions have soared since that attack and on Sunday, Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian who had stabbed an Israeli in the West Bank, wounding him lightly.

Authorities called the arson attack an act of “Jewish terrorism,” and Israel’s Security Cabinet approved the use of harsh measures to combat the trend, including administrative detention, which allows suspects to be held for lengthy periods without charge.

The measure has been mainly used against Palestinians suspected of involvement in militant groups, and rarely against Israelis.

Meir Ettinger, the grandson of the late U.S.-born ultranationalist Rabbi Meir Kahane, and Eviatar Slonim, another Jewish extremist, were placed under administrative detention Sunday for their suspected involvement in an extremist Jewish organization, the office of Israel’s defense minister said.

The two, who are in their early 20s, were arrested last week. Another suspected Jewish extremist, Mordechai Meyer, was placed under six-month administrative detention last week.

Iraq premier offers plan to trim criticized government

Police: Man who killed 8 possibly had dispute with woman victim HOUSTON (AP) — A family of six children and two parents were restrained and fatally shot in the head at a Houston home by a man with a violent criminal history who had previously been in a relationship with the mother, authorities said Sunday.

David Conley, 48, was charged with capital murder in the deaths. Conley, who is being held in Harris County Jail, didn’t appear at a court hearing Sunday where an arrest affidavit was read. The judge denied him bond.

The dead were identified as parents Dewayne Jackson, 50, his wife Valerie Jackson, 40, and children Nathaniel, 13, Dewayne, 10, Honesty, 11, Caleb, 9, Trinity, and Jonah, 6. Nathaniel was believed to be Conley’s son from the relationship with Valerie Jackson.

Police had earlier said that there were three adults and five children killed.

“We do not — cannot — fully comprehend the motivation of an individual that would take the lives of so many innocent people.

Especially the lives of the youngest,” Harris County Chief Deputy Tim Cannon said. “The killer’s motives appear to be related to a dispute with Valerie, who was a former domestic partner.”

Conley told police that he discovered on Saturday morning that the locks had been changed at the home after he had moved out. He entered the home through an unlocked window, according to the affidavit.

Officials with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office later responded to a request to do a welfare check at the house and got no response at the door.

They saw through a window a male on the floor with a gunshot wound.

Police then heard gunshots coming from the front of the house. A standoff ensued between officers and Conley. He later gave himself up to authorities and was arrested.

Court records show Conley’s criminal history dates back to at least 1988, with the most recent incident last month, when was charged with assault of a family member. In court documents, authorities say the suspect had been arrested for allegedly assaulting the woman he was living with at the home where the bodies were found. Documents say he was in a dating relationship with the woman. It was not immediately clear if the woman in the previous incidents was Valerie Jackson.

Court documents said Conley pushed the woman’s head against a refrigerator multiple times after she tried to stop him from disciplining her son with a belt. The case was still pending.

Iraq’s prime minister unveiled a bold plan Sunday to abolish three vice presidential posts and the offices of three deputy premiers, hoping to cut spending amid mass protests against his government as the Islamic State group still holds a third of his nation.

AL - ABAD I Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s Cabinet backed the plan, which still needs parliamentary approval, but it’s unclear whether it could end the endemic corruption in Iraq’s political system, where many senior appointments are determined by party patronage and sectarian loyalties.

The plan also effectively would push AL-MALIKI out of government former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, widely criticized for inflaming sectarian tensions and appointing loyal, less-qualified senior officers to Iraq’s military ahead of the Islamic State group’s advance last year. While al-Maliki issued a short statement approving of the proposed plan, he previously criticized al-Abadi’s rise to power last year and repeatedly has urged the current government to address the country’s corruption and sectarian crises.

Al-Abadi’s seven-point plan would dismantle portions of the top-heavy government created in the wake of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. It would reduce spending on personal bodyguards for officials and transfer the responsibility to the interior and defense ministries. The plan also calls for the review of all corruption cases by a committee of experts, with fresh trials for officials suspected of wrongdoing.

But the focus of the weekend is largely on Brown, who graduated from high school weeks before the shooting and planned to go to trade school to study to become a heating and air conditioning technician.

Relatives and friends described Brown as a quiet, gentle giant who stood around 6-foot-3 and weighed nearly 300 pounds.

But police said Brown stole items from a convenience store and shoved the owner who tried to stop him on the morning of Aug. 9, 2014. Moments later, he and a friend were walking on Canfield Drive when Wilson, who is white, told them to move to the sidewalk.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be going T R UM P away anytime soon, so his rivals are scrambling to figure out how best to handle the blowback from every new bout of bluster drowning out their campaigns.

Lead the charge, if you’re the sole woman in the Republicans’ White House race and trying to crack the top tier for the next debate, by questioning Trump’s ability to withstand the pressure of the presidency.

Belittle Trump’s claim to be a truth-teller by arguing that self-promotion is the billionaire’s guiding philosophy.

Warn that Trump’s provocative comments about women endanger the party’s standing with a group that makes up the majority of voters.

These are the varied approaches of the other 16 Republican candidates fighting for attention and breathing room in a primary field eclipsed by Trump.

On Sunday, he was back, splashed across the weekend news shows, dismissing the latest firestorm to consume his campaign and explaining how he cherishes women and would be their strongest advocate if elected.

“I’m leading by double digits, so maybe I shouldn’t change,” he boasted.

The latest controversy started Thursday night when Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly recounted Trump’s history of incendiary comments toward women. Angry over what he considered unfair treatment at the debate, Trump told CNN on Friday night that Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

The remark cost Trump a prime-time speaking slot at the RedState Gathering, the Atlanta conference where several other presidential candidates spoke to about 1,000 conservative activists.

But Trump refused to back down, insisting Sunday that only “a deviant” would interpret his comment beyond a harmless barb.

“I apologize when I’m wrong, but I haven’t been wrong. I said nothing wrong,” said Trump, who spoke to four Sunday news shows, skipping only Fox News, the network with which he is feuding.

The flap is just the latest from Trump’s unconventional, insurgent campaign, which has excited many antiestablishment conservatives while confounding party leaders already facing the prospects of a bruising fight among 17 candidates.

PICTURE OF THE DAY

maintaining their silence for a few moments before rising and joining others marching into Manhattan for another rally later in the day. Among those marching were a dozen people carrying a giant banner reading, “Black Lives Matter.”

Some who marched in the Ferguson event Saturday wore Tshirts with likenesses of Brown or messages such as “Please stop killing us” or “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” which became a rallying cry during the sometimes-violent protests that followed the shooting a year ago. Some carried signs or wore shirts commemorating others who have been killed in confrontations with police.

“THE POLICY OF THE PAPER is very simply and easily stated.

Our purpose is merely to tell the truth and in the pursuit of the truth we are quite certain that the paper shall encounter no difficulties.”

Man shot at same street corner in Omaha, Nebraska on three different occasions News of the Weird By Chuck

SHEPHERD LEAD STORY — “Doc, It Hurts When I Do That” (“Then Don’t Do That”) Ran’dell Busch, 27, was in serious condition after being shot on July 26 near the corner of 18th Street and Emmet Street in Omaha, Nebraska. He was also shot in 2014 around the intersection of 18th and Emmet, and in 2012 was shot in a scuffle after running from the corner of 18th and Emmet.

The Continuing Crisis Texas’ highest criminal appeals court agreed on July 17, hours before Clifton Williams was to be executed, to a postponement until they could consider the significance of perhaps-faulty higher math presented to his jury in 2006. Prosecutors had claimed at his trial that the likelihood of another black man having Williams’ DNA profile was 1 in 43 sextillion (43 followed by 21 zeros, or 43 billion trillion). Texas officials have recently recalculated the FBIdeveloped database and concluded that it was somewhat more likely that a second black man had Williams’ profile — 1 in

only 40 billion trillion.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit!

• Failed European Business Models: (1) Grande Hotel San Calogero, the planned centerpiece of a Sicilian tourist renaissance, is still nowhere close to opening — 61 years after construction began. It took 30 years to build, but then developers fought for 10 years over its management, and only later was a serious drainage deficiency discovered (repair of which Rome’s news site The Local reported in July remains unfunded). (2) Construction of the ultramodern Don Quixote airport (in Ciudad Real, Spain, about an hour from Madrid) was finished in 2006, but the $1 billion facility never opened, and in July, was sold to a Chinese investor for the equivalent of $11,000.

(Bonus: Fictional character Don Quixote was, himself, noted for delusions of grandeur.)

• Unclear on the Concept: Overlooked by the roundup of “state fair” foods listed in News of the Weird two weeks ago was the debut in June, at California’s San Diego County Fair, of the deepfried Slim-Fast bar. A 200calorie “diet bar” is breaded in pancake batter, fried, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate.

• A woman in a sub-

urb of Beijing filed a lawsuit against the China Dragon Garden graveyard recently over her shock to find that not only was her own name affixed to a headstone in gold lettering but about half of the 600 plots were eerily marked for prominent (and still living) people to move into. It was a marketing plan, according to cemetery workers, to convince customers of the upscale neighbors (such as basketball star Yao Ming) waiting for them in the afterlife. (China’s aging population, and Beijing’s land scarcity, have driven up prices, intensifying competition and corrupt practices, according to a Los Angeles Times dispatch.)

Wait, What?

(1) Jason Patterson, upset that New Zealand’s health care administration has rejected paying for gastric bypass surgery, announced in July that he will protest publicly by going on a hunger strike.

“The first two to three days (will be) really hard,” he told Channel 3 News.

(2) Local officials in China’s Xinjiang region informed Muslim shopkeepers and restaurateurs in May that they will henceforth be required to sell alcohol and cigarettes (even though Islam forbids their consumption). An official told Radio Free Asia that the government aims to weaken religion.

T H UN D E R B I R D S F O O T B A L L P R A C T I C E

Photos By B.J. HARGIS North Central head football coach Travis Nolting and his assistant coaches have been putting the Thunderbirds through workouts in preparation for the 2015 season. Clockwise, from left, Nolting calls a play in the huddle; the offense is shown trying to execute a play against the defense; and players help clear the field. They will compete in a controlled scrimmage at 7 p.m. Friday in Sullivan against the host Golden Arrows.

Colts looking for consistency on offensive line ANDERSON (AP) — The Colts offense has a franchise quarterback, two talented tight ends, several skilled wide receivers, a 1,000-yard rusher and one major inconsistency.

For the fourth straight season, Indianapolis is trying to establish an offensive line that can stay intact through the season.

Last season, the Colts used 10 different starters on the offensive line, and in the previous 32 regular-season games Indianapolis used 18 different combinations on its offensive line.

"When you give me those numbers, that's pretty staggering," Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said.

"It's up there at the top of the list. I'm as eager as everybody else to find those five guys, and the sooner the better."

Despite its offensive line struggles, Indianapolis has managed to win 11 regularseason games the previous three seasons.

Pagano said that success is a credit to the coaches and players.

But with 'Super Bowl or bust' expectations heading into 2015, the Colts are trying to figure out the solution to their problem on the line in order to keep their offensive output near the top of the league.

Last season, Indianapolis had the third-best offense in the NFL, with 4,894 yards passing and 1,612 yards rushing.

With the addition of veterans Andre Johnson and Frank Gore, the Colts should maintain their lofty stats if the offensive line can keep Luck healthy and give Gore room. And a key to consistently doing so is keeping the same group together all season.

"It's ideal if you can have one group that's going to be together the whole season," veteran left tackle Anthony Castanzo said.

"With having a back like Frank, now, it definitely puts the onus on (the offensive line) because he's proven if the holes are there he's going to (have success) and we recognize what we've got at quarterback. If

we give (Luck) time he can make some special things happen."

Indianapolis has shuffled lineman from guard to tackle. Last season, Jack Mewhort started 13 of 14 games at right guard. In Week 17 against Tennessee, Mewhort moved to right tackle, and that is where he'll start this season.

Mewhort's move to right tackle is the first step in a consistent lineup on the offensive line heading into the season.

"I don't even worry about (right tackle). I sleep well at night knowing that (Mewhort) is in there," Pagano said. "He's been great. He's consistent. He doesn't make mental errors. He's the right guy — run game, pass game — he's going to be a good player for us."

Mewhort replaces the Colts former right tackle, Gosder Cherilus, who was released by the team two weeks ago. The decision to release Cherilus, and start Mewhort where he finished the 2014 season, is reflective of a coaching staff that

Appleby eager to bring stability to Purdue QB position WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) — Austin Appleby hopes to give Purdue stability at quarterback.

Appleby, a junior who started the Boilermakers' final seven games last season, hopes to become the first Purdue quarterback to lead the team in passing for two consecutive seasons since Curtis Painter — who has played in the NFL with Indianapolis, Baltimore and the New York Giants — in 2007 and 2008.

Appleby and the quarterback position was the focus of conversation Sunday at Purdue's Media Day. Redshirt freshman David Blough and freshman Elijah Sindelar are expected to challenge Appleby for the starting role for Purdue's Sept. 6 opener at Marshall.

Appleby replaced Danny Etling, who transferred to LSU this summer, after five games last season. In his first three starts, including an Oct. 4 victory at Illinois, Appleby completed 66.2 percent of his passes, including five for touchdowns, and averaged

188.7 yards in helping the Boilermakers average 35.7 points.

But he slumped badly in four November losses, completing only 48.2 percent of 166 attempts while passing for only four touchdowns and being intercepted seven times. Worse, the Boilermakers averaged only 15 points in those final four games, capping a 3-9 season and saddling coach Darrell Hazell with a 4-20 two-year record at Purdue.

Wanting to erase the memories of his four most recent starts, Appleby is eager to retain the starting position.

"That just goes into my process," Appleby said, "My process is to control the things I can control. It's the work that I have put in during the offseason. It's working toward being the best player I can be. That process constantly is worked upon.

"I am happy with where I am. If I handle the things I can control, and stick to that each and every day, it is my process and I own it. Everything

will take care of itself. I want to be process oriented and let results follow."

Hazell has not targeted a date for picking the starting quarterback for the Marshall game. He will give Appleby, Blough and Sindelar opportunities to work with the No. 1 offense during the next three weeks.

"One of the most important things for us to find out about our quarterback is, 'Will he take care of the football?' and 'Can he make the makable plays?'" Hazell said. "When we find that guy, we will be off and running.

"We have three very competent guys in camp that we think are very capable of winning a lot of football games. The biggest thing is, "Can the guy step into the huddle and command respect?"

Considering Appleby is the only quarterback on Purdue's roster who ever has taken a snap or thrown a pass in a college game, he would appear to be the likely starter at Marshall.

has been active in addressing offensive line concerns.

Some of the other options for Indianapolis include Joe Reitz, who started at guard in four of the 10 games he competed in 2014. The Colts have rotated Khaled Holmes and Jonotthan Harrison at the center position during the first week of training camp.

Harrison played in 15 games last season, starting at center in 10. Holmes played in five games at both center and guard, starting two at center.

"Last year we had so many different lineups. I think it will be nice to have a set unit and go out there week in week out," Mewhort said. "I'm working hard every day to be on the field because there are some special things going on around here and I want to be a part of that."

Notes: T.Y. Hilton returned to practice Saturday after missing Friday's practice for personal reasons. Hilton's absence on Friday was excused by the Colts.

Malik Zaire not taking No. 1 spot for granted CULVER (AP) — Malik Zaire laughed when he heard coach Brian Kelly talk about how the quarterback sometimes needs to be reined in because he's so emotional.

"I wake up with a lot of energy," Zaire said. "I just love being out here, I love being at practice and I love being around these guys and doing the things necessary.

Coach Kelly will tell me if I'm doing a little too much, a little too much energy, and I need to calm it down a little bit."

Zaire has reason to be excited. He'll be the starting quarterback when the Fighting Irish open at home against Texas on Sept. 5.

There was supposed to be a competition for the job, but Everett Golson earned his degree and decided to use his final season of eligibility at Florida State.

Zaire said that hasn't changed how he's approaching the season.

"Being the No. 1 quarterback, there's never a clear-cut anything," Zaire said. "Coach Kelly does a great job of keeping it competitive and keeping us on our toes knowing that anything can change at any moment. Continuing to compete and continuing to push these guys with the acknowledgement you never know who is going to be the guy the next day."

Hymera Continued from Page One Wabash Valley Asphalt submitted a bid of $20,006, with Nick Cullison saying they could get the work done later this year. He also pointed out the town had about $24,000 in available funds.

Weddle made a motion to accept the bid, but Knight did not offer a second.

“I need more information … this is the first I’ve heard about it,” Knight replied.

Nick Cullison pointed out this topic had been discussed many times and the money was available. Then he left the town hall in an attempt to contact the missing third council member, Marty Getchell, by cellphone, to get the elusive second for the motion.

“The water lines have been fixed on the streets, all we have left to do is pave the road,” one town resident said to Knight. “Why does it need to be studied?”

Eventually, Knight offered his second to support the motion, just moments before Getchell arrived for the last few minutes of the onehour, 45-minute meeting.

In other business:

• Clerk-treasurer Jill Street announced the dates for the townʼs Democrat and Republican caucuses to select candidates to appear on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

The Republican caucus is set for 6 p.m. on Aug. 11 at the Odd Fellows Hall, while the Democrat caucus will be 6 p.m. on Aug. 20 at the Ruritan building.

The Republicans will be tasked to reduce a slate of five town council candidates to three for the ballot. Filed to run are Jerry Boyll, Connie Lloyd, Gary Enstom, James Enstom and Weddle.

Democrats will decide between Street and Nicole Hall for clerk-treasurer.

Only town residents are allowed to vote in the caucuses.

• The council passed a resolution, this one with all three voting, to conduct a town election on Nov. 3. If not, the county would run the election at a cost to the town.

Republicans do some crash, boom, bang

By JOHN KRULL • TheStatehouseFile.com There’s a cliché that politics is show business for ugly people.

As I watched the first Republican presidential debate, I began to think that there’s room for a new cliché — politics is a demolition derby for bad drivers.

It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t graceful. It wasn’t particularly uplifting.

But it was an accurate reflection of American politics in an era of often unfocused and unexplained anger.

The whole thing was unwieldy. In the first place, it was the first time in nearly 40 years of covering politics that I saw a debate that was really two debates — a 5 p.m. lightning round for the seven members of the “thanks for playing” crowd and then a 9 p.m. main event for the top 10 candidates.

Yes, that’s right. If you’re doing the math, there are 17 candidates running for the GOP presidential nomination.

If one more joins the race, they can pick up gloves and bats and have a baseball game.

Sticking with the baseball theme, none of the candidates hit a home run. A few made errors, but none that were likely to be fatal.

The big news from the night came early in the “big kids” debate when the moderators from Fox News asked all the candidates to raise a hand if they would consider running as a thirdparty candidate should he not get the Republican nomination.

Donald Trump — the billionaire self-promoter who has vaulted to a commanding lead among the GOP candidates — was the only one who raised his hand.

Trump said he could

only do that if he trusted the eventual nominee, which was not exactly a glowing endorsement of the other men on the stage. Even when the moderator pressed Trump by saying that a third-party campaign likely would guarantee victory for a Democrat in 2016, The Donald refused to promise to support another Republican candidate.

That started a round of low-key skirmishing regarding the Trump effect. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, took some shots at Trump over his ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton and his supposed flip-flopping on a single-payer health care system.

Trump’s worst moment came when Fox’s Megan Kelly asked him about some disparaging comments he’d made over the years about women. Trump tried to deflect the question by making a joke about Rosie O’Donnell, with whom he has feuded. Kelly, to her credit, would have none of it and made it clear that Trump’s comments were part of a longstanding pattern.

Trump then ducked the question.

He launched into a largely irrelevant soliloquy about the evils of “political correctness” — and then whined that Kelly was being mean to him.

It wasn’t a moment that screamed straight-talking, stand-up guy.

If there was a big loser during the debate, it probably was Trump — in part because he had the most to lose going in and in part because he often appeared that he was more bombast than substance.

If there were winners, they came from various points on the ideological compass. Ohio Gov. John

Kasich had the strongest overall performance, but he entered the debate so far back in the pack that he could have delivered the 21st-century equivalent of the Gettysburg Address and it still wouldn’t have made a difference.

Sen. Marco Rubio, RFlorida, also had some good moments.

Several candidates other than Trump stumbled, including Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Paul. Carson seemed to fade into the background. Cruz made it clear he’d have just as much trouble working with Republicans as he would Democrats, not exactly a recipe for executive success. And Paul looked like a little kid desperate for someone, anyone, to please, please, please pay attention to him.

When the debate was over, a few things were clear.

Donald Trump won’t rule out running a thirdparty campaign and thinks anyone who asks him about his insulting comments about half the electorate isn’t being sensitive to his needs.

The Republican field is likely to remain for some time just slightly smaller than the number of drivers who will qualify for the Indianapolis 500.

And every GOP candidate except Trump will continue to fight for time in the spotlight.

That means more demolition derbies for bad drivers.

EDITORIAL:

Course correction needed at BMV South Bend Tribune In response to the latest controversy at the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, this one regarding fees charged to Hoosiers, Gov. Mike Pence has called for more transparency.

That’s a fine start. But there’s much more work that needs to be done to address the systemic issues that have plagued the BMV for years — and have illserved Indiana residents.

The latest issue, uncovered by an Indianapolis Star investigation, involves the actions of former BMV official Shawn Walters.

Walters signed a state contract with Express MVA that allowed the relatively small firm to collect a “convenience fee” for services traditionally provided for free through the BMV. Walter later took an executive position with the company, somehow neglecting to seek an opinion from the state ethics commission before doing so.

The failure to consider the serious conflict of interest concerns raised by Walters’ actions are bad enough. What’s worse is that the fees that Hoosiers were charged — the legality of which are questionable — seem part of a troubling pattern at the BMV. It’s a pattern that we commented on a few months ago, when it was revealed that the BMV had overcharged Hoosier motorists at least $60 million — and that former Commissioner R. Scott Waddell and other top officials knew for years about overcharges, but did nothing to stop it until a class-action lawsuit was filed in 2013. In response, we called for regular, independent audits to provide some accountability to the Hoos- ier taxpayers who have been so poorly served.

On Wednesday, Pence canceled a long-term Bureau of Motor Vehicles contract with Express

MVA. He also called for a formal ethics investigation of Walters by Indiana’s inspector general. The right moves, but not enough.

The BMV desperately needs independent oversight — as well as that transparency that the governor was talking about. But more than talk is needed here. Pence and his administration must make fixing the state’s second largest agency — with 12.5 million transactions and $460 million in fees collected last year — the priority that it is. There’s also a role for legislators, who even before this most recent issue had been considering a number of reforms to address the BMV’s problems. Given the depth of the mess at the BMV, all this should happen sooner rather than later.

The agency has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted to do the right thing on its own.

Arrest Continued from Page One The Star Press report indicated Bradford was the only other individual arrested other than Grider in relation to the shooting near Selma.

After receiving the tip from the DCSD, an SCSD deputy and a Jasonville Police Department officer set up surveillance on a residence at 308 Hickory St. in Hymera. While waiting, the suspect’s vehicle pulled into the driveway there, with the officers instructed to perform a felony traffic stop based on the information provided by Delaware County officials.

An unidentified elderly

Fair Continued from Page One Bonnie Witt, a fouryear member of the Curry Nomads, and her sister Carol, a one-year member, were showing mini lop and Netherland dwarf rabbits that day.

“We just came here for the experience and the fun,” Bonnie said.

She noted that Sullivan County has great competition in the rabbit project, but even that doesn’t compare to the state fair level.

“Up here ... people are a little more serious about rabbits,” she said. “They put, like, serious time into it.”

Several other Sullivan County 4-Hers were competing through the weekend, with some livestock projects slated for competition later this week.

“I think it’s been fun,” Bonnie said.

female driver and a middleaged female passenger in back were quickly removed from the suspect’s car safely.

One of those women was Bradford.

“Originally, she was thought not to have been involved,” Cottom said, “but as the case developed she became a third suspect.”

The Star Press reported that the other woman was Grider’s grandmother, who drove him to Hymera. It also provides background on what occurred in the initial crime.

The probable cause affidavit noted that a 40-year-old local man was wounded

“near the groin area” as he “fought over (a) rifle” with Grider, according to that paper’s report.

The Star Press report noted that investigators with the DCSD came to Sullivan County last Sunday to question Grider and also arrested Bradford. She is accused of giving the rifle used in the shooting to Grider.

Bradford was transported to Delaware County jail following her arrest.

Originally, Grider remained at Sullivan City-County Correctional Facility, but an SCCCF official advised he had been taken to Delaware County prior to Sunday.

Attorney’s habitual reckless driving is trial for his mother DEAR ABBY: My 60-year-old son, “Martin,” is an accomplished litigation attorney, handsome and opinionated, but kind and attentive to me. (I am a widow.)

Unfortunately, he’s a terrible driver and always has been. Sometimes I think he has a death wish the way he drives. He speeds, texts, phones, and looks away from the road to talk to passengers in the car. I can’t understand how a man of his intelligence can be so reckless with his life and the lives of others. He’s a husband, father and grandfather.

I hate to drive anywhere with Martin, even though he invites me to come along to various events. He doesn’t take kindly to criticism, and when I say he’s going too fast, he gets defensive.

He just doesn’t get it. He thinks he’s invincible.

I’m not the most tactful person, but I’m running out of excuses for why I don’t want him to pick me up. I do drive, so I say, “I’ll meet you there,” but it’s getting old.

How do I tell my son I no longer want him to drive me? How can I make him understand how serious his bad driv-

Dear Abby By Jeanne

PHILLIPS ing habits are? I’m not afraid of dying at my age, but I’d rather not die in an auto accident — DISTRAUGHT MAMA IN FLORIDA DEAR DISTRAUGHT MAMA: Stop making excuses with your son. Tell your son how much you love him. Then tell him the truth — that his driving makes you afraid not only for your own safety, but also for him and his family.

If he becomes defensive, let him rant, and when he runs out of breath, go on to say that this is the reason that, while you deeply appreciate his invitations, from now on you will be arranging your own transportation. Do not be unpleasant about it, but don’t be dissuaded.

DEAR ABBY: My “fiance” and I have been together for 10 years. I say “fiance” in quotes because although he has given me a ring and popped the question, we don’t talk about planning a wedding. Every time I

try, it gets me nowhere, but this isn’t the problem I’m writing you about.

He has never been the type to attend my family functions. He will come on the major holidays, but even then it’s a fight. I have reached the point that I no longer ask him to join me, but then I have to make up some kind of excuse for him.

I’ve had enough of it.

Recently, when I have mentioned my family, he has started going off about what he doesn’t like about them. It’s getting worse, and it puts me in a tough spot. What is the best way to handle this?

— STRESSED OUT IN ILLINOIS DEAR STRESSED: You would be wise to realize that at some point you may have to make a choice between your “fiance” and your family. Take into consideration that you have devoted 10 years of your life to someone who has given you a ring and a promise, but who has shown no signs of being willing to follow through.

Since you asked, I think the best way for you to handle it would be to cut your losses and choose your family.
