By DEBANINA SEATONThe Commercial ReviewThere will be a ribbon-cut-

ting ceremony in November forthe Indiana 26 (Water Street)project, just not on the day itwas originally planned.Local officials had hoped to

celebrate completion of the$4.2 million project Nov. 5, butlearned at a progress meetingFriday that work will not becomplete by that time. A newcompletion date was set forNov. 16, with a ribbon-cuttingceremony likely to be sched-uled for later that week.

Brook’s Construction projectmanager Adam Hertel and rep-resentatives from IndianaDepartment of Transportationmet Friday with Portlandmayor Randy Geesaman, clerk-treasurer Mickey Scott, city

council president Bill Gibsonand water department superin-tendent Doug Jackson, sayingthey expect the constructionand inspection process to takeabout three more weeks.Construction on the project

began on May 1 with a targetcompletion date of Friday. Butthis summer’s rainy June andearly July, which resulted indowntown Portland beingflooded three times, slowed theprogress. It was estimated that26 days of work were missedbecause of the flooding andother delays.Despite the setbacks, Hertel

said the company is makinggood progress.He expects the final paving to

begin Nov. 2, with striping tofollow about a week after theroad work is complete.

“You’ve got to wait,” saidHertel. “INDOT wants you towait five days because it’spaint.”It would be possible to open

the road before the final touch-es are completed, but INDOTofficials asked that it remainclosed for the safety of bothworkers and drivers.Geesaman agreed that was thebest path forward.“I wouldn’t open it up until

you’re ready to open up,” hesaid. “It’s your project — youlet us know.”

By LYNNE O’DONNELLand MUNIR AHMEDAssociated PressKABUL, Afghanistan —

A strong earthquake innorthern Afghanistantoday shook buildingsfrom Kabul to Delhi, cutpower and communica-tions in some areas andcaused more than 150deaths, mainly inAfghanistan and Pakistan.Pakistani officials said

that at least 147 peoplewere killed and nearly 600others wounded across thecountry, while Afghan offi-cials said 33 people werekilled and more than 200wounded.The U.S. Geological Sur-

vey said the epicenter ofthe 7.5-magnitude earth-quake was in the HinduKush mountains, in thesparsely populatedprovince of Badakhshan,which borders Pakistan,Tajikistan and China. Itsaid the epicenter was 130miles deep and 45 milessouth of the provincialcapital, Fayzabad.Afghan President

Ashraf Ghani sent hiscondolences to familieswho had lost relatives andproperty, and appointed an“assessment committee”to ensure emergencyrelief reached the needyas soon as possible, hisoffice said.In Takhar province,

west of Badakhshan, atleast 12 students at a girls’school were killed in astampede as they fledshaking buildings, saidSonatullah Taimor, thespokesman for the provin-cial governor. Another 42girls were taken to the hos-pital in the provincial cap-ital of Taluqan.In Pakistan, Inayatullah

Khan, the provincial min-ister for local bodies, saidthe death toll in the Khy-ber Pakhtunkhwaprovince alone hadjumped to 121.The toll from

Afghanistan’sBadakhshan province waslikely to rise as reportscame in from remoteareas. The province isoften struck by earth-quakes, but casualty fig-ures are usually low.The province also suf-

fers from floods, snow-storms and mudslides,and despite vast mineraldeposits is one ofAfghanistan’s poorestregions.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —The Indiana Horse RacingCommission is looking forways to boost interest inthe sport and halt thedecline in racehorse breed-ing in the state, followingits firing of the agency’sexecutive director after 25years in the position.Commission Chairman

Thomas Weatherwax saidhe wants to see more pro-motion of the state’s twopari-mutuel tracks — inAnderson and Shelbyville— and to see Indianabecome more appealingfor horse breeders.“We want to build a

higher standard and havemore exciting races,”

Weatherwax told the Indi-anapolis Business Jour-nal.Critics say former chief

Joe Gorajec was toofocused on enforcing regu-lations, including drug useand medical care for race-horses and did little to pro-mote the horse racingindustry.

The number of Indiana-bred foals has dropped byabout 1,000 since 2011,when there were 2,733. Theamount wagered at Indi-ana tracks and off-track-betting parlors hasdropped by more than halfin the past decade — from$190 million in 2005 to $83million last year —

although some decline isbecause of that because ofbets now submitted via theInternet.Gorajec, who had been

the commission’s directorsince its inception in 1990,declined to comment toThe Associated Pressabout the circumstancessurrounding his firing.

By DEE-ANN DURBINAP Auto WriterDETROIT — The United Auto

Workers union and GeneralMotors Co. have reached a tenta-tive agreement on a new four-yearcontract, avoiding a strike for now.The UAW said the agreement

was reached at 11:43 p.m. Sunday,16 minutes before the deadline ithad set to either reach an agree-ment or call a strike at GM’s U.S.plants.

Details of the proposed contractweren’t immediately available. TheUAW said local union leaders willmeet Wednesday in Detroit to voteon the tentative agreement. If theyapprove it, GM’s U.S. hourly work-ers will vote on it.The agreement covers 52,600 U.S.

auto workers at 63 GM facilities inthe U.S.UAW President Dennis Williams

said the proposed deal will provide“long-term, significant wage gains

and job security benefits now andin the future.” The union also hint-ed that this agreement — like acontract passed last week by FiatChrysler workers — gradually willeliminate a much-hated two-tierwage system in the plants.GM said in a statement that the

agreement benefits employees butstill provides flexibility to the com-pany. The company said it wouldnot comment further until theagreement is ratified.

The union told GM on Saturdaythat it would terminate its con-tract just before midnight Sun-day. The UAW made a similarstrike threat in discussions withFiat Chrysler, but negotiatorsalso were able to avoid a walkoutthen.On Thursday, union members at

Fiat Chrysler voted to approve afour-year contract that includespay raises and phases out the two-tier wage system over eight years.

Continued from page 1Work that needs to be completed

includes paving four approaches,like the one near the post officeparking lot, and finishing curbs.All but three of the new LED

lights are expected to be installedby Wednesday.INDOT first began considering

the project in 2001, and it was dis-cussed again in 2007 before con-crete plans for improvements tothe three-quarter-mile stretchfrom U.S. 27 to the eastern edge ofthe city began in 2012.The improvements include

widening the road to 11-foot laneswith curbing, a 3-foot grass bufferand 4-foot-wide sidewalks. Also

included are new water and sewerlines, as well as LED lighting.The project originally called for

the road work only, but local offi-cials asked that sewer and waterlines be included as well given thatsome date back to the 1800s. Itmade no sense, they said, toreplace the road and then be forcedto dig it up because of water mainbreaks.The city negotiated an deal with

INDOT, which agreed to pay for$500,000 of the sewer work in addi-tion to the $2.7 million for the roadconstruction. The rest of the costfell to the city.The new sanitary sewer lines are

mostly 15 inches in diameter, with

the storm sewer lines ranging upto 36 inches. The project alsoincluded replacing a 72-inch sewerline that runs along GarfieldStreet and through Weiler-WilsonPark to the Salamonie River.“The great thing is that the

progress, despite the 26 days thatthey’ve lost because of the flood-ing, they made great progress,”said Geesaman, adding that hehopes to be able to reschedule theribbon-cutting by Friday. “Thatfact that we have brand new side-walks, brand new curbs, 16 newLED lights … it’s a win-win foreverybody involved. It’s a projectthat was put off way too long.”

Possession of drugsA Redkey man was

arrested at 8:17 p.m. Fri-day for allegedly possess-ing drugs.Damon S. White, 23, 21

S. Oak St. was arrestedfor public intoxicationand possession of a con-trolled dangerous sub-stance, a Level 6 felony.He was booked into Jay

By DIANA DOLECKISpecial to The Commercial Review

This is the time of yearwhen “the goblins will gityou if you don’t watchout!” The line is from apoem by poet James Whit-comb Riley (1849-1916).But what exactly are gob-lins and what do they dowith you once they cap-ture you?Goblins are mythical

creatures of old Germanicand English folklore. Theyare the mischievous, andsometimes downright evil,counterpoints to elves andfairies. They tend to besmall, green and havepointy ears, althoughtheir actual appearancevaries as to who is tellingthe story and at whatpoint in time it is told.They are similar to theboogyman in that childrenare their favorite prey.I never did find out what

happened to the victims of

these beings. Perhaps thegoblins ate them for sup-per. Perhaps they adoptedthem and raised them astheir own. Or maybe theysimply used the childrenas playthings beforereleasing them back totheir families with theadmonition to be good. Asgoblins aren’t real, wemay never know the wholetruth.Few people today

believe in goblins or othermythological beings. Gob-lins do turn up in bookssuch as “The Hobbit,” andthe Harry Potter series.They also appear in some

games such as Dungeonsand Dragons. Most of usrecognize these as prod-ucts of an active imagina-tion rather than as some-thing to be feared.In addition to watching

out for goblins, this is thetime of year we torturepumpkins. We pick andchoose just the right onebefore slashing a hole in itand dragging out theinsides. How many futurebaby pumpkins have sacri-ficed their lives in this bar-baric ritual? The thoughtof it makes me shudder.Then we continue the

carnage by carvingdesigns into the carcass ofthe fruit. Yes, I know thatmost of us consider it to bea vegetable, but scientistsare a contrary bunch andclassify it as a fruit. Any-way, once we are donehacking on the now deadpumpkin, we display ourbarbarity for the world to

see.We also decorate our

homes with bats and spi-derwebs. Any other timeof year we do everythingin our power to rid ourabodes of spiderwebs. Andwoe unto any flying mam-mal that dares wigglethrough a tiny hole to getwarm in our attics. Wechase it around with abroom or tennis racketuntil the poor thing eitherfinds its way back out-doors or dies from heartfailure. This is the thanksit gets for eating all thosemosquitoes all summer.Some people also visit

corn mazes in order to getlost safely. Others visithaunted houses, woodsand caves for a harmlessscare. Sadly, the onlyhaunted place I ever visit-ed was a haunted base-ment that I helped set up,so I have no experiencewith these common Hal-

loween activities.One of my favorite end

of October rituals involvestrick or treating. Any holi-day that encourages massconsumption of candy is agood one. It may be anattempt to fatten us upbefore winter, but that isalso what Thanksgiving isfor. Estimates are that onefourth of all the candy soldannually in this country ispurchased for Halloween. Ido my part to contribute tothis statistic, do you?In addition to eating all

the candy we can hold,there is the annual searchfor the perfect costume.Inspiration often comesfrom cartoons or othershows targeted to chil-dren. While most kidswear the costume one ortwo days a year, there aresome who wear the spe-cialized apparel yearround.My grandchildren fall

into this category. It is

very common to see a vari-ety of superheros in mydaughter’s yard. In fact,when we were baby-sittinglast year, the youngest,Nicholas, hurt himself. Ihad to peel his CaptainAmerica outfit off in orderto see how badly he washurt. He is fine now.A little role play is a

healthy thing. Nicholashas declared that he isalways the hero. He isnever the bad guy. Otherkids may relish the oppor-tunity to be bad, butNicholas will always savethe day. If he knew whatgoblins were he would pre-vent them from carryinganyone away.It is almost Halloween. It

is time to replenish thecandy you bought earlythen just had to taste. Tor-ture pumpkins if youmust. Decorate withspooky decorations and besure to watch out for gob-lins.

It’s time for goblins and pumpkin carving

As I See It

DEAR ABBY: My ex-husbandand I have been back togetherfor eight months. We weredivorced for two years, duringwhich time he remarried. Westayed in contact during his sec-ond marriage and he says hestill loves me, so he left her. He’s now back with me after

living on his own for a fewmonths. I’m frustrated becausehe won’t commit to me again. Hesays he has forgiven me for whatbroke up our marriage, but hewill never consider remarryingme. He says he has lost faith in all

women. He says one marriage tome was enough and that he’sconfused. He told me it’s finewith him if I put my rings backon. He introduces me as his wifewhen we’re out together, butwon’t divorce his second wife. I know I’m coming on too

strong and pressuring him to bethe man he used to be. I justdon’t think it’s right that heshould get all the benefits ofhaving his wife and childrenback with none of the commit-ment. Should I back off and givehim time to heal, or am I trap-ping myself in a hopeless rela-tionship that’s going to leave mea divorcee? — HOPELESS INMISSOURIDDEEAARR HHOOPPEELLEESSSS:: II tthhiinnkk wwee

JEANNE LUTZAdvertising Manager

By MORTON J. MARCUSEvery administration,

regardless of politicalparty, claims remarkablesuccess in promoting jobgrowth in Indiana.If times are bad, we do a

sensational job, given thedifficulties we face. Iftimes are good, Hoosier jobcreation out-paces (pickfrom the following) thenation, Illinois, Kentucky,Burma or Antarctica.However, I looked at the

data after the recent self-congratulatory claimsfrom the State Office forOoze. Instead of focusingon the latest release ofdata from a volatile month-ly data source, I choseannual data for twodecades (from 1994 to 2004and 2004 to 2014). Thisgives us a firmer view ofhow Indiana has beendoing compared to thenation.As many have noted, job

growth has been slowing.At the national level, thenumber of jobs grew by 17percent from 1994 to 2004.In the next decade (2004 to2014), U.S. jobs grew by 10percent. For those twodecades, Indiana’s jobgrowth rate was 9 and 4percent respectively.Over that 20-year period,

jobs in the U.S. grew by 29percent while Indianaadvanced only 13 percent.Where was the pressrelease admitting theHoosier state ranked 47thamong the 50 states in therate of job growth from1994 to 2014?Instead, we get monthly

and annual trumpeting ofprogress made withoutcontext. Yes, Indiana mayadd jobs in a given month,but how are we doingamong the states? In theyears from 1994 to 2014 wefell from having 2.3 percentto barely 2 percent of allAmerican jobs.“Not much,” a state apol-

ogist would say. But that“little difference” is theequivalent of 950,000 jobsover those 20 years. Thatfailure, to just keep pace

with the nation, means ouraddition of 442,000 jobsbetween ’94 and ’14 was 53percent short of medioc-rity. At the same time, the

kinds of companiesemploying Hoosiers werechanging … and changingin ways different from theways national employmentchanged.We don’t have the space

for a detailed analysis, butbetween 2004 and 2014 welost 26,000 constructionjobs or 12 percent of thejobs in that industry whilethe nation dropped only 7percent.Although both Indiana

and the U.S. lost about 12percent (one in eight) oftheir durable goods manu-facturing jobs, we sawgreater percentagedeclines in computer andelectronic products thandid the nation. This wasopposite to Indiana’s lesserpercentage losses in pri-mary metals and motorvehicle manufacturing.Indiana had job losses in

every category of retailshops while some types ofretail grew at the nationallevel. Despite the GreatRecession, finance andinsurance jobs grew by 22percent nationally, butonly 9 percent in theHoosier state. Food serviceand drinking places hadjob growth of 20 percentacross America, but only10 percent here.Parents and school coun-

selors should pay attentionto the numbers, even ifHoosier policy makers con-tinue to delude themselves.

By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content AgencyThe question was first posed by

Juvenal, a Latin poet whose lifespanned the first and second cen-turies: Quis custodiet ipsos cus-todes?Translation: “Who watches the

watchmen?”The old question finds new rele-

vance in an era of heightened con-cern about police brutality, wherecameras are omnipresent andpolice misbehavior routinely goesviral. These days, all of us watchthe watchmen, a de facto citizen’sreview board armed with cell-phone cameras.Why not? Police certainly use

sophisticated versions of the samegadgets to watch us. Camerascatch us speeding and running redlights. There is even a camera thatreads your license plate andchecks for warrants. All thatnotwithstanding, police have longresisted the idea that citizens havea right to record them at work.The ante has been upped in

recent years amid a flurry of citi-zen, dashcam and surveillancevideos capturing questionablepolice behavior ranging from aman killed by a chokehold in NewYork to the takedown of a 15-year-old girl in a bikini in Texas, to aman in Delaware kicked in thehead while complying with anorder to get on the ground, to aNew Jersey man having a policedog sicced on him after he wassubdued, to a man shot in the backin South Carolina.Which brings us to the unfortu-

nate thing Rahm Emanuel saidearlier this month at a summit ofpolice officials and politicians inWashington.In explaining a recent uptick in

violent crime, the Chicago mayorsaid cops have gotten “fetal.” Headded, “They have pulled backfrom the ability to interdict ... theydon’t want to be a news storythemselves, they don’t want their

career ended early and it’s havingan impact.”No, he is not known to have been

drunk. And for the record, policechiefs and elected officials fromother cities reportedly secondedhis remarks. They are calling itthe YouTube effect.In response, a few things must be

said.One: Had it been Emanuel’s

intention to make police seempetulant, pouty and entitled, hecould hardly have chosen moreeffective language. Small wonder apolice union official promptlydenied that officers have returnedto the womb or are otherwise giv-ing less than their best effort.Two: Emanuel’s city was a

killing field long before the recentspate of viral video embarrass-ments. Exactly how long have hisofficers been “fetal”? And what didhe blame before he blamedYouTube?Three: There is a virtually fool-

proof strategy for police to avoidInternet mortification.Three syllables: Do your job.Then there’ll be no YouTube

videos to worry about.It is disappointing to see Presi-

dent Obama’s former chief ofstaff join the ranks of those whoinsist we must treat police like hot-house flowers or Faberge eggs.First, we are told we may not criti-cize bad cops because that meanswe hate all cops. Now, apparently,we may not criticize them becausedoing so hurts their feelings.Look: It is important to be con-

cerned about police morale. Butwhat about the morale of Eric Gar-

ner’s family? Or Walter Scott’s? OrFreddie Gray’s? Or Tamir Rice’s?What about the morale of all thefamilies who daily send sons —and daughters — into unforgivingstreets, honestly unsure if thepolice — their police — will befriends or foes? Is it OK if we sparesome concern for them, too?This is about accountability,

something that has been absentfrom police interactions with thepublic for far too long. And wherethere is no accountability, justiceis tenuous. The plain truth is, cam-eras are here to stay; this geniewill not go back in the bottle.Police will not stop the watchersfrom watching.But a smart cop will make sure

there’s nothing to see.••••••••••

BloombergThe Internet’s lovable but

frustrating toddlerhood maybe coming to an end.That doesn’t mean, however,

that it’s getting easier toimpose adult supervision.The latest illustration of the

point comes courtesy of Ama-zon, which has gone to thecourts to unmask fake review-ers who have tarnished thesite’s credibility. In April,Amazon went after websiteoperators who advertised fakereviews with such hard-to-missURLs as http://www.buyama-

zonreviews.com. Most wereshut down.Not satisfied that it had

stamped out the practice — thetoddler, after all, can just findanother room to trash — Ama-zon is now going after individ-ual reviewers, asking the

courts to award costs as well asunspecified damages for the“manipulation and deception”of customers.The 1,000-plus defendants

are referred to as John Does,the term used for an unidenti-fied person.Most savvy consumers long

ago stopped paying attention tounusually positive or negativereviews. Nevertheless, sophis-ticated reviewers claim to beable to fool the human andcomputer filters designed tocatch them.In an undercover investiga-

tion, the Times of London wasable to push an e-book to thetop of an Amazon best-sellerlist by paying for reviews.Meanwhile, authors who havehad their work trashed by troll-reviewers can testify to howdamaging that can be.Can Amazon succeed in

weeding out all fake reviews?In a word: No.But it has rightly judged

them to be a threat to the truston which much e-commercedepends.Whether the legal system

offers the best way to maintain

that trust remains an openquestion.At any rate, the case for

cracking down on fake review-ers highlights a distinctionwith a difference in the digitalage: Privacy and anonymityare not the same, and they donot deserve equal treatment.The former is a right that

consumers should expect andcompanies should honor.The latter, with some notable

exceptions, too often masksactivities that don’t deserveprotection and which distortcompetition.

By ANGELA CHARLTONAssociated PressPARIS — It’s official: Ham, hot dogs

and other processed meats can lead tocolon, stomach and other cancers —and red meat is probably cancer-caus-ing, too.While doctors in rich countries

have long warned against eating toomuch meat, the World Health Organi-zation’s cancer agency gave the mostdefinitive response yet today about itsrelation to cancer — and putprocessed meats in the same dangercategory as smoking or asbestos.The findings don’t say that a slice

of salami is as dangerous as a ciga-rette, but they could weigh on publichealth policy and recommendationsby medical groups amid a growingdebate about how much meat is goodfor us. The meat industry protests the

classification, arguing that cancerisn’t caused by a specific food but alsoinvolves lifestyle and environmentalfactors.A group of 22 scientists from the

WHO’s International Agency forResearch on Cancer in Lyon, Franceevaluated more than 800 studies fromseveral continents about meat andcancer. The studies looked at morethan a dozen types of cancer in popu-lations with diverse diets over thepast 20 years.Based on that evaluation, the IARC

classified processed meat as “carcino-genic to humans,” noting links in par-ticular to colon cancer. It said redmeat contains some important nutri-ents, but still labeled it “probably car-cinogenic,” with links to colon,prostate and pancreatic cancers.Ian Johnson, a nutrition

researcher with the Institute of FoodResearch who is unconnected to theIARC findings, cautioned that theclassification doesn’t reflect “theactual size of the risk,” but said meatconsumption is one of many factorscontributing to high rates of bowelcancer in the U.S., western Europeand Australia.“The mechanism is poorly under-

stood, and the effect is much smallerthan, for example, that of cigarettesmoking on the risk of lung cancer,”he said.The cancer agency noted research

by the Global Burden of Disease Proj-ect suggesting that 34,000 cancerdeaths per year worldwide are linkedto diets heavy in processed meat —compared with 1 million deaths ayear linked to smoking and 600,000 ayear to alcohol consumption.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewFORT WAYNE — When Bailey

McIntire was running through thechute to the finish line Saturday,he could hear the voices yelling.Aaron Rush of Mount Vernon

(Fortville) was closing in on theSouth Adams High School junior.“I didn’t realize he was coming

in that hot and that fast,” saidMcIntire, who was passed by Rushat the finish line. “He just flew by. Ididn’t have the time to think aboutit. He just went by.“I had no time to change my

pace or pick it up.”What McIntire did pick up,

though, was his third-consecutiveberth in the state finals. McIntire crossed the finish line

Saturday in 15 minutes, 52.99 sec-onds — 0.42 seconds behind Rush— to finish fourth at the IHSAAcross country semi-state meet onthe campus of IPFW.“He ran a strong race,” said

SAHS coach Clint Anderson,whose boys team scored 368 pointsto place 14th out of 20 teams. “Heknew where he had to positionhimself. (He) got out strong andjust stayed there.”Jay County seniors Megan Well-

man and Kellie Fortkamp endedtheir high school careers on Satur-day (see story page 9).Fort Wayne Carroll won both the

boys and girls team champi-onships. The Charger boys scored84 points, ahead of Concordia (130)and Rush’s Mount Vernon squad(146). Westview finished fourthwith 167 points, Northridge scored181 for fifth and Pendleton Heightswas sixth with 198.Trailing the Carroll girls (69)

were Pendleton Heights (85),Homestead (114), Penn (115),Northridge (132) and HuntingtonNorth (180).South Adams’ girls, led by Olivia

Von Gunten’s 60th place finish,scored 481 points for 19th.The top six teams and top 10

individuals not on advancingteams earn a berth in the state

finals, which is 1 p.m. Saturday atIndiana State University in TerreHaute.As usual, McIntire got out to a

good start, sprinting for 10 secondsto get near the front of the packheading into the narrow first turn. “For me it’s more of a habit,”

McIntire said of getting aheadearly. “I know a 10-second sprintisn’t going to affect me (relative) tothe rest of the race.”McIntire stayed close behind the

lead group, letting them dictate thepace, but noted he didn’t want torun with them because he wasunsure of their strategy. As therace progressed, he started to pickthem off one by one.“Chasing down Cameron

(Clements of Carroll), that wasgood,” he said. “That was fun.”McIntire also passed Rush to sit

in fourth at the 2-mile mark,almost 30 seconds behind the even-tual winner, Mount Vernon’sChristian Noble (15:18.50).During his second time through

the woods, McIntire also passedRush and was in third with about100 meters to go.“(Rush) found another gear as

he was crossing the finish line,”Anderson said.“It was disappointing,” McIntire

said of getting passed.But with his fourth-place finish

— Homestead’s Brayden Law(15:38.31) was also ahead of him —McIntire is heading to the state

meet for the third time in as manychances.“(It) feels good,” he said. As a

freshman, McIntire and theStarfires qualified as a team, andhe went as an individual as a soph-omore. “I was hoping the teamwould go with me (this year).”No other Starfire runner crossed

the line in the top 100. Daniel Stef-fen was the No. 2 runner for SouthAdams, finishing 109th in 17:50.91.Wyatt Miller finished in 17:59.65 for126th, and David Steffen andMcGerran Clouser were back-to-back in 133rd and 134th respective-ly. David Steffen had a time of18:08.11, and Clouser was 34 hun-dredths of a second behind him.

Bailey McIntire, a South Adams High School junior, runs the final meters of the IHSAAbosy cross country semi-state meet on Saturday on the campus of IPFW in Fort Wayne. McIntirefinished fourth to earn his third consecutive berth in the state meet.

Continued from page 10It proved too much for

the Eagles (18-15) to over-come.“We’re not only three

points behind, but nowmentally they’re thinking,‘Oh, here we go, OK, nowwe have a hole to get outof,’” said Churubuscocoach Suzanne Taylor,whose team has never wona sectional title. “It is hardto come out in the fourth set0-3. I think we were work-ing, working, working toget back out of that hole. Atone point we were out of itand we had started to comeback, but it was just toolate.”That came with a 5-0 run

that pulled them within apoint at 18-17, but an In’tGroen kill kept SAHS infront. Moments later JuliaGrabau served the Starfires

to a five-point run of theirown that put them withinone of the title.The victory Saturday

evening followed SouthAdams’ 25-19, 25-13, 20-25,25-21 triumph earlier in theday over the BlufftonTigers. It earned them adate against ninth-rankedWestview, which swept Bre-men to win the sectionaltitle at Central Noble.The teams will meet at 7

p.m. Tuesday in Topeka,with the winner to advanceto the Bremen semi-state.The Starfires and Chu-

rubusco traded the first twogames, with the formernabbing a 7-2 lead in thefirst and the latter going up7-1 in the second. Gamethree went back-and-forthwith neither team leadingby more than two pointsuntil Morgan Alberson

notched one of her six killsand then took the serve.The junior outside hitter

recorded an ace as shesparked a seven-point runthat also included killsfrom Addie Wanner, JuliaGrabau and In’t Groen.“Whoever got the big run

was going to win thegame,” said Buckingham.“We were able to stick withit, and then Morgan pulledout a great service effortthere and our girls turnedaround and protected her

and hit. That made all thedifference.”Julia Grabau then start-

ed the fourth set with herrun of aces that eventuallyled to her sister’s match-winning kill.The Starfires’ senior

attackers paced the offenseas Kylie Grabau recorded ateam-best 12 kills and In’tGroen followed with 10.(Kylie Grabau also led theway with 11 kills againstBluffton.)Madi Wurster and Wan-

ner each had nine kills inthe finals, and Albersonnotched six.Julia Grabau set them up

with 43 assists.“They just played great.

And they had to show upfor three matches, and playwell for three matches con-sistently,” said Bucking-ham, whose team knockedoff the host Warriors in theopening round of the tour-nament Thursday. “Theydid it, and I’m very proudof them.”

End ...‘They just played great. And they had to show

up for three matches and play well for three matches consistently. They did it,

and I’m very proud of them.’—Ashley BuckinghamSAHS volleyball coach

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewFORT WAYNE — Megan Well-

man had to approach the semi-state meet with a different plan.Normally, she’d do enough at

the beginning to put herself ingood position, and pass the run-ners ahead of her during therest of the race.Saturday, she had to sprint at

the start.“Having that fast start affected

my legs more than they’re usedto,” said Wellman. “My legs weredead, something I’m not usedto.”Wellman, a Jay County High

School senior, and classmate Kel-lie Fortkamp, had their highschool careers come to a closeSaturday at the IHSAA crosscountry semi-state meet at IPFW.“Megan ran her best race that

she has ever ran there,” saidJCHS coach Leah Wellman,Megan’s sister. “She ran the racethat she needed to to be in a posi-tion to make it (to state).”But Megan’s legs had another

idea. Wellman, who was theDelta sectional champion andplaced fourth at the regional in aschool-record time, finished in19 minutes, 55.76 seconds Satur-day for 41st. Fortkamp was 111thin 21:35.49.It was Wellman’s best finish

on IPFW’s course. She was 77thas a freshman and 67th as a soph-omore. During her injury-ladenjunior season, she was 134th. The top six teams and top 10

individuals not on advancingsquads earn a berth in the statemeet. Wellman was the 16th-bestout of individuals not on quali-fying teams. Hannah Yeakey ofBethany Christian earned thefinal individual berth, finishing23rd in 19:33.3. PendletonHeights’ Alex Buck, who wasahead of Wellman at regional,was the semi-state champion in17:57.14.“I don’t regret it,” Wellman

said of the start. “If I didn’tsprint I wouldn’t have had theposition at the 1-mile and 2-mile.”Heading into the first turn,

Wellman was in the top 30, run-

ning alongside Olivia Von Gun-ten of South Adams before thecourse narrowed into the right-handed bend.“She knew she had to get out

to a fast start so she wouldn’thave to worry about goingthrough a lot of traffic,” LeahWellman said.As the runners entered the

woods for the first time towardthe mile mark, the younger Well-man was 17th. She stayed thereas the group exited the woods,but fell back to 23rd shortly afterthe second mile.And after the third mile, as the

group exited the woods for thefinal time and headed down thechute toward the finish line, thepain in her legs and fatiguestarted to take their toll.“I was just thinking ‘How can

I break through this? How can Iend this race and put up a goodfight?’” she said. “In the end Irealized this could be the lastrace of my high school crosscountry career. I want to go outbeing proud of what I had done.”Fighting through pain in her

legs — Wellman had come backfrom a grade three hamstringtear as a sophomore — step bystep she continued and crossedthe finish line.“Leaving the course I had a

different perspective,” she said.“Going from two years ago — thethreat of not being able to runagain — and being able to comeback senior year and have mybest finish, that made me walkaway and be proud of what Ihave accomplished.”Fortkamp, who this year bat-

tled injuries herself, had her sec-ond-best finish in the four yearsshe has run at semi-state. Shewas 79th as a junior after placing121st in both her freshman andsophomore seasons.“She’s battled all year long,”

Wellman said. “She could havethrown in the towel and restedup for track.“She didn’t and it shows the

type of competitor she is.”Emi Minnich, a former Jay

County Patriot and current Bur-ris Owl, also had her cross coun-try career come to an end Satur-day. The senior, who ran for JayCounty as a freshman and soph-omore, finished in 22:39.83 for144th. It was her fastest time onthe course, beating the previoustime of 22:58.52 she set as a fresh-man.

Start hampers Jay senior


Jay County High School senior Megan Wellman is flanked by Krista McCormack(left) of DeKalb and Faith Baer (right) of Pendleton Heights as they lead a pack of runnersdown a hill and into the woods during the semi-state race Saturday at IPFW. Wellman, whobroke the school record this year, finished her career with a 41st-place finish.

Continued from page 8“We all thought it was a

very spread out race,”McIntire said. “Felt like alot of the race we wererunning by ourselves.”Anderson said the gravi-

ty of the race and the pres-sure may have gotten toMcIntire’s teammates.“If you’re not accus-

tomed to it, if you’re notused to running in thistype of competition, it canoverwhelm you,” he said.“(They) got sucked intothe back and shoved backfurther than where wewere hoping they wouldbe.”The same was true for

the Starfire girls, whowere led by Olivia VonGunten’s 83rd-place finish.The sophomore had a timeof 20:53.65, and like McIn-tire she was the onlySAHS runner to finish inthe top 100.Alex Buck of Pendleton

Heights was the individ-ual champion, winningwith a time of 17:57.14.Acacia Anderson was

135th in 22:16.83, withKatelin Hawbaker(22:32.47) and Eliza Har-ruff (22:34.233) finishingback-to-back in 141st and142nd respectively. OliviaMason completed theStars’ team score, finish-ing 155th in 23:02.27. “You always want to fin-

ish the season runningyour best race,” Andersonsaid. “With the exceptionof maybe Bailey, I thinkeverybody would say itwasn’t the best (they’ve)got.“It just happens. You

always want to be at yourbest. It isn’t always thecase. You just get eatenalive here if you’re not onyour game. Unfortunatelywe weren’t.”Also running for the

Starfires on Saturdaywere Briar Goodwin(147th – 18:29.56) and Kam-den Yoder (117th – 20:56.67)for the boys, and CalyssaLehman (166th – 24:14.72)and Kara Seffernick (didnot finish) for the girls.

Runs ...

Continued from page 10Parkway coach Jeff Mar-

baugh called a timeouttrailing 13-10, but an acefrom Madison Grover, a netviolation by the Panthersand another Stone kill —she finished with 10 —completed the run.After each break in the

action, whether a timeoutor between games, theIndians broke on the word“intensity,” and it showedthroughout the match.“That is one thing I

think we had, the energy,the spark,” Rogers said.“They did some things tokeep us on our toes andexpect anything — tips,roll shot, deep balls — but Ithink defensively we havebeen playing really well.”Fort Recovery totaled 12

blocks, half of which camefrom Siefring, and rackedup 64 digs. Alexis Bubp andKiah Wendel had 12 and 10digs respectively, andMadison Grover addedeight.Siefring also noted the

aggressiveness of theTribe offense.“The intensity was on a

whole other level,” shesaid. “We were so into thegame and we wanted it.”

And it had the Indiansgelling as a full unit at theright moment.“We’ve been waiting for

this,” Lennartz said.“We’ve been waiting forthis moment where wewould all come togetherand play as a team.”“Perfect timing for that,

a tournament run,”Siefring added.Much like the Indians

had in the fourth set of thesectional semifinal Thurs-day at Paulding, they fellbehind early against Park-way in the third on Satur-day.A 6-0 Panther run made

it 8-5, but the Indians slow-ly cut into the deficit. Theset was tied at each pointfrom 10 through 14, withneither team being able toscore consecutive points.A FRHS net violation

kicked off a 4-0 run byParkway, but Fort Recov-ery nabbed seven of thenext eight points to lead 21-19 and force another Pan-ther timeout. Fort Recovery and Park-

way split the next fourpoints, giving the Tribe a23-21 lead, and a kill fromFRHS senior Kirsten Juttedown the left side of thecourt put the Indians onepoint away from the title.Parkway’s Alivia Stover

blasted a kill through theFort Recovery defense, andone more tally for the Pan-thers made the score 24-23in favor of the visitors.That’s when Siefring

returned to doing what shedoes best.“I know now our legacy

is left at this school,”Siefring said of the title.“It’s a great feeling.”

OTTAWA, Ohio — The Tribe girls and asolo boy will run another week.Fort Recovery High School’s girls cross

country team placed third Saturday at theDivision III district meet in Ottawa,advancing to next week’s regional meet.Travis Sutter finished fifth to earn an

individual berth at regional.The top four teams and individuals not

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewROCKFORD, Ohio — Kendra

Siefring locked her eyes on the ball,jumped in the air and swung herright arm to make contact.Just like she has been doing all

season.The ball rocketed through the

Panther defense, just like it did 11previous times throughout thenight.But this one was different.It put the Indians in a place they

haven’t been for a while.Siefring’s 12th kill of the match

Saturday completed a perfect sweepof the Parkway Panthers, giving theFort Recovery High School volley-ball team a 25-19, 25-19, 25-23 victoryin the Division III sectional champi-onship.It was the first sectional title for

the Indians (11-13) since 2009.“It feels great because they beat

us in three (sets),” said senior Mor-gan Lennartz, whose teammateswere swept by their Midwest Athlet-ic Conference foes on Sept. 24, alsoin Rockford. “Now we came backand killed them in three. It feelsgood.”Second-year Tribe coach Chelsea

Rogers shared the feeling.“Awesome,” said Rogers, whose

team now meets St. Henry at 6:15p.m. Wednesday in the district semi-

final Kalida, Ohio. The Redskins arethe top-ranked team in Division III.“I said it (after the semifinal victo-ry), not getting a (MAC) win is a bigkiller. We got one at the right time.“We talked about the banner up at

our school … I know we’ve beenpointing at that a lot. The girls real-ly wanted to make something of it.”Fort Recovery and Parkway went

back and forth in the early going ofthe first set. The Panthers led 4-1,but a handful of attacking errorsput the Indians ahead 6-5. Parkway’s Emily Strunk served

up back-to-back aces, helping herteam to an 8-6 advantage untilSiefring tallied her third kill andserved an ace to tie the score yetagain. The score would be evenagain at 10, 11 and 12. A kill by FRHSsophomore Carley Stone knotted thescore again at 13, and back-to-backblocks and a kill from Siefring putthe Indians up 16-13 and the Tribedidn’t trail for the remainder of theset.A pair of four-point streaks

helped Fort Recovery to a 10-8 advan-tage in the second set, until back-to-back Tribe errors evened the score.But Devin Post notched one of her

two blocks and followed it up withone of her three kills to spark a six-point Indian run that essentially putthe set out of reach.

Grabau alsoslammed the final kill ofthe match pastAnderson, giving theStarfires a 25-17, 21-25,25-18, 25-21 win andtheir first sectional titlesince 1997.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewWOODBURN — Churubusco fought off

one match point. And then another. Andthen another.Coach Ashley Buckingham decided not

to use the one timeout she had left. HerStarfires weren’t nervous.On the next point, they sent the ball to

the senior middle hitter who had led theirbalanced attack all day. Kylie Grabau tookthe set from her sister Julia, slammed thebiggest kill of her career past AlyssaAnderson, turned and let out a scream ofcelebration.The three seniors on the floor — Kylea

Pierce, Cindy In’t Groen and Kylie Grabau— threw their arms in the air before beingmobbed by the rest of the squad. The 18-year drought was over.“It felt amazing,” said Pierce, the libero,

who finished with 13 digs. “That’s all I cansay. It’s about time.”That final kill was the exclamation point

on South Adams’ first volleyball sectionaltitle since 1997 as they defeated the Eagles

25-17, 21-25, 25-18, 25-21 in the champi-onship match Saturday at Woodlan.“It wasn’t even frustrating at all,” said

Pierce of the late Churubusco run thatclosed the gap to 24-21. “We were ahead …and it was like, ‘We’ve got this, we can dothis, we’re fine. We need one point, and it’sours.’“So I just told them, ‘Stay calm, stay

calm. Do what we know how to do.’ And wedid it.”While the elder Grabau finished the

fourth set, it was the younger who stakedthe Starfires (22-11) to a lead they wouldnever relinquish.Building off of the momentum of a 7-0

run late in the third set, sophomore JuliaGrabau stepped behind the service lineand ripped an ace off the arms of Chu-rubusco’s Mallory Pearson to open thefourth. Her second serve zipped down theright sideline untouched for another ace.Her third caromed off of Pearson again.Three serves, three aces, 3-0 South

Adams.See EEnndd page 8
