State to fund flood response planBy JACK RONALDThe Commercial ReviewThe Indiana Department of

Homeland Security wants Port-land to plan its response to thenext flood while the sun is stillshining.Local officials are working

with engineering firms and theArmy Corps of Engineers tofind ways to reduce the threat offlooding in Portland.

But Mayor Randy Geesamanlearned Friday the city is one of20 flood-prone communities tar-geted for help in developingresponse plans when and ifanother flood occurs.Portland has received a plan-

ning grant to develop a FloodResponse Plan working withChristopher B. Burke Engineer-ing, an experienced flood riskmanagement firm.

“There is no cost to you fordevelopment of this plan,” MaryMoran, IDHS Recovery Director,told Geesaman in a letter.The focus of a Flood Response

Plan isn’t flood mitigation butmaking sure that emergencyofficials respond effectively inthe event of a flood.Such a plan outlines roles and

responsibilities of officials anddepartments and emphasizes

coordination and communica-tion.“With every major flood, there

comes an overwhelming level ofactivity and a need for quickinformation and response,”IDHS documents say. “Commu-nities need to prepare and havea good plan for early warning,response, and recovery before,during, and after a flood event.… A good plan helps prevent

duplication of effort and wastedresources.”Two information-gathering

meetings and a table-top exer-cise will be involved.Funding for the grant comes

from the Indiana Office of Com-munity and Rural Affairs andstems from an initiative by theIndiana Silver Jackets, a teamthat includes federal and stateagencies.

Missilelauncha dudSEOUL, South Korea

(AP) — A North Koreamissile launch meant tocelebrate the birthday ofthe country's founderended in failure, U.S.defense officials said, anembarrassing setback inwhat was reportedly theinaugural test of a new,powerful mid-range mis-sile."It was a fiery, cata-

strophic attempt at alaunch that was unsuc-cessful," Capt. Jeff Davis,a Pentagon spokesman,said Friday. U.S. officialsare still assessing, but itwas likely a road-mobilemissile, given that it waslaunched from a locationnot usually used for ballis-tic missile launches, onthe country's east coast, hesaid.South Korea's Yonhap

news agency carried anunsourced report that a"Musudan" missile, whichcould one day be capableof reaching far-off U.S.military bases in Asia andthe Pacific, exploded inthe air a few seconds afterliftoff.A U.S. official speaking

on condition of anonymi-ty to discuss intelligencematters told The Associat-ed Press that it appearedto be a Musudan missilebut no definitive conclu-sion had been reached.Despite the failure, the

North has another Musu-dan loaded on a mobilelauncher and Pyongyangwill likely fire it, accord-ing to South Korean andU.S. authorities, Yonhapreported.U.S. Defense Secretary

Ash Carter, speaking toreporters during a stop onthe USS John C. Stennisaircraft carrier in theSouth China Sea, said thatwhile the U.S. deemed thelaunch to be unsuccessful,it "was nonetheless anoth-er provocation by NorthKorea in a region thatdoesn't need that kind ofbehavior."

Brad Daniels points to some of the improvements being made at the former Jay County Antique Mall, now theJay County Event Center. The building once housed The Jay Garment Company’s Portland plant.

Dreaming bigCouple hopes to transform antique mall

The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney

Pat Daniels has always been in love with antiques. Now she and herhusband Brad are in the process of transforming the antique mall in Portland.

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewPat Daniels loves antiques.She was in her booth at Jay County

Antique Mall in January 2015 when therewas a mention of the need for newemployees.“She said, ‘I don’t want to work here, I

want to own the place,’” her husbandBrad recalls. “Well, that started the ballrolling. And that’s how we got to wherewe are.”Where they are now is in the process of

making upgrades to the facility, whichthey are buying on contract from MorrisAlsip. Those efforts include a new paintjob for the 15,500-square foot section thatfaces Bridge Street and is now dubbed JayCounty Event Center, in preparation forits first event.The center, 500 S. Meridian St., Port-

Continued from page 1regular on the Bob and Tom radioshow, at 7:30 p.m. April 23.Pat and Brad see the event cen-

ter as a site that has the capacityto hold virtually any kind ofevent. Their purchase included100 tables and 500 chairs to helpwith that effort. They estimatethe area will seat between 800 and1,000, though they’re waiting forPortland Fire Department to setthe official capacity.No public events other than the

Baker show have been scheduled,but several wedding receptionsare slated for this summer. And aChristmas party is alreadybooked for late this year.

Other events could includemeetings, conventions and con-certs. And the couple has beenapproached about country dancesand radio controlled car races.“There’s just a whole lot of

things that you don’t even thinkabout that people want to do,”said Pat, a Ridgeville native and1979 Winchester High Schoolgraduate who has worked at Jay

County Hospital for 34 years.Their rental price for the event

center is $500, but Pat and Bradsaid they have flexibility based onthe needs of the client.“There may be instances when

it’s a smaller conference and theymay not use that much,” saidBrad, who graduated from JayCounty High School in 1979 andhas been the county surveyor fortwo decades. “There may begroups that might need it thatmay not have the means, but theydo so much good for communitythat we could work something outwith them.”After taking control of the

facility on March 3, the couple gotto work with financial help froma $50,000 grant from economicdevelopment income tax funds.They’ve spent quite a bit of timeorganizing the antique mall sec-tion of the building, and havefixed some roof leaks andreplaced some carpet as theywork their way from the front tothe back.Renters leave their items — the

mall is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.Monday through Saturday and 1to 6 p.m. Sunday with the excep-tions of Christmas, Thanksgiv-ing and Easter — and the coupleand its handful of employees takecare of any transactions. Pat andBrad are in the process of creat-ing space for more booths, whichare rented by antique dealersfrom as far away as Florida. “As soon as we have the booths

ready, they want them,” said Pat,who has a love for milk glass,crystal and old furniture. “It’ll becompletely full.”Several sections of roof have

been or will be replaced. Andthere’s more work to be done,such as painting the exterior andgrading the parking lot that bor-ders Bridge and Fifth streets.They’re also working to stabi-

lize the 10,000-square foot garage,and already have renters lined upfor that part of the massive struc-ture.“We have to remember it’s a

process,” said Brad. “That’s themain thing. It’ll get done.”

One part that is already com-plete is a former kitchen that hasbeen transformed into the newhome of Judan Judo.The club’s students have been

training in the section on thesouth side of the building forabout three weeks now in prepa-ration for today’s state champi-onships at Jay County HighSchool. Through 39 years of exis-tence, Judan’s homes have includ-ed the basement of The Ritz the-atre, the basement of the WeilerBuilding (now John Jay Center),the current street departmentbuilding, Matt’s Garage and mostrecently a former church at thecorner of Commerce and Archstreets.“Next year it’ll be 40 years

we’ve had a club in town, contin-uously,” said Brad, who runsJudan with his sister Vickie.“And we’ve never owned a place.“It’s pretty exciting.”While they don’t want to run it

themselves, Pat and Brad alsodream of having a café in thehouse on Meridian Street that

was part of their purchase. Theyhope, someday, that all of theparts — antique mall, event cen-ter, Judan Judo and restaurant —can feed off of each other anddraw visitors in.They also plan on participating

in community events such as theTri-State Gas Engine and TractorAssociation Show, Jay CountyFair and Heritage Festival.It’s all part of their ultimate

focus — to take the structure thatwas first built in 1914 and hadbeen added onto several timessince and turn it into a drawingcard for the community. They know it’s a big project —70,000 square feet — but its onethey believe they’re up to.“We’d been married a year-and-

a-half and we decided to do thisendeavor together,” said Pat.“And sometimes, you know, peo-ple say, ‘Be careful.’ But we’vebeen having a great time … get-ting this together.”“We just think this could be

such a bonus — for the town andthe county,” added Brad.

DEAR ABBY: My grandson“Kyle” is in his early 20s, 6 foot1 and weighs about 230. His sis-ter is a very sweet 15-year-oldand a devoted churchgoer. At a recent family get-togeth-

er, they were goofing aroundand he got her down on thefloor on her stomach, sat onher knees to hold her down,and proceeded to reach hishand into her trousers to jerkher panties up and out of herpants. He then pulled her pantsdown almost to the bottom ofher buttocks and spanked her. The whole time, I was trying

to get Kyle to stop acting so dis-respectfully to his sister, but heignored me. This happened infront of several people, includ-ing my husband, a male cousinin his 40s and the kids’ great-aunt. I was shocked and I’mstill angry. Kyle’s aunt agreeswith me and wonders whether

molestation is involved. Is this normal behavior

between brothers and sisters?Are we old-fashioned? Are weoverreacting? — SHOCKED INTHE SOUTH DDEEAARR SSHHOOCCKKEEDD:: WWhhiillee II

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend,

“Joe,” has what I refer to as“pedestrian rage.” Neither ofus drives, so we use mass tran-sit or walk everywhere. We livein a large city and drivers arenot always careful about pedes-trians in parking lots, cross-walks, etc., making it doublyimportant to protect one’s ownsafety when on foot. I feel that Joe compromises

our safety by being confronta-tional with motorists who failhis exacting standards. Hecurses loudly, strikes vehicleswith his hand, or stops andglares at drivers who angerhim. I have asked him repeat-edly not to engage with these

drivers for fear of retaliation.The other day a man drove

into the crosswalk when wewere crossing on the greenlight. We weren’t close to thatsection of the crosswalk yet,but Joe smacked the man’s caras we crossed behind it. Theman, who was very large andvery angry, pulled over, jumpedout and threatened to beat Joeup for touching his car. I pulledJoe down the sidewalk as heyelled at the driver. I am at my wit’s end. I’m

Dear Readers: Cats canbe a little particular andsomewhat peculiar. Hereare a few “refresher” hintsfor some owners, and goodadvice for new cat owners:Scoop out the box daily.

Keep it in an easily acces-sible, yet private, area.Don’t hide the litter box inan out-of-the-way place orone that is not easy to getto.The general rule is: One

box per cat, plus one extra.Would you want to share alitter box? No.Sprinkle a thin layer of

baking soda in the box,after deep-cleaning thebox to control odors.

Here’s an idea worth borrow-ing from our neighbors to thenorth.Early on Tuesday morning,

members of South AdamsSchool Board gathered for awork session. Their chore:Observe and interact.For the better part of the day,

the five of seven board mem-bers who were able to attendvisited classes, listened to les-sons, watched teachers inaction and talked with stu-dents.The day took them from the

high school to the middleschool to the elementary level.They sat in on English classes,math classes, science classesand vocational classes.Then at 4 p.m. they convened

their regular board meeting

and did the usual things schoolboards do.But they did those usual

things with an unusual degreeof understanding how theschools under their charge actu-ally function on a daily basis.It was, a friend observed,

much like industrial manage-ment spending time out on theshop floor, observing theprocesses first hand.Because it was a work session,

the school board couldn’t takeofficial action. But work ses-sions are open to the public, and

the press could have followedalong if reporters had wantedto.Ask a Jay Schools teacher

when he or she last had a schoolboard member spend significanttime in the classroom. Chancesare, you’ll get a blank stare.Board members do a good job

of attending school events.They’re at ball games and holi-day programs and the occasion-al science fair. But few gobeyond that.The late Max Wolford, who

truly relished being on the Jay

School Board, was the rareexception. Max loved gettinginto the classroom, listening toteachers and visiting with kids.And it made him a better boardmember as a result.For South Adams School

Board, Tuesday’s work sessionwas its fourth in four years. It’san annual event.Here’s hoping the Jay School

Board finds room on its calen-dar for a similar work sessionof its own. It’s a simple steptoward becoming a betterboard. — J.R.

Work session is positive for boardEditorial

By LEE H. HAMILTONOver more than three

decades in Congress, I hadthe chance to question a lotof federal officials.Most of the time I wasn’t

after anything dramatic —I just wanted to understandwho was responsible forcertain decisions.Want to know how often I

got a straight answer?Almost never.It was easily one of the

most frustrating aspects oftrying to ensure robustoversight of the govern-ment. Our representatives’job, after all, is to help makegovernment work better.And you can’t do that if youdon’t know whom to holdaccountable for importantdecisions.I don’t want to be unfair

to officials in the executivebranch, many of whom arededicated public servantswho work long hours toserve the rest of us. Butthey have raised to an artform the ability to dodgeresponsibility.This is a problem.Accountability is essen-

tial to good governance. I’mnot just talking about“transparency” — that is,citizens’ ability to knowwhat’s being done in ourname. That’s important,but equally important isholding accountable thosewho made the decision todo it: ensuring that they areaccountable to policy-mak-ers, adhere to their obliga-tions, follow the law andthat their actions are appro-priate and responsive to theneeds of the country.This may be part and par-

cel of good governing, butit’s elusive. Accountabilityrequires that officials stepup and take responsibilityfor their decisions, and nottry to shift that responsibil-ity to others or to some ill-defined group. It requiresunambiguous performancestandards, clear codes ofethics, timely reporting,and acceptance of responsi-bility, especially withregard to budget or spend-ing decisions.It’s sustained by proce-

dures that encourageresponsible stewardship ofpublic funds and a focus oncorrecting inefficienciesand poor performance. Andabove all, it rests on robustoversight and review ofofficials’ performance, notonly within the executivebranch, but also by Con-gress and the media.So how do we get there?The first step is to make

information available tothe public, especially whenit comes to budgeting. Gov-ernment performance restson how it spends the pub-lic’s money.Yet making sure that peo-

ple see and hear what gov-ernment is doing only pro-motes transparency. It’staking the next step, and

ensuring that there’s aclear command and controlstructure, that promotesaccountability. Withoutclarity on who’s in chargeof what and who’s respon-sible for which decisions, itbecomes too easy for offi-cials to remain unanswer-able for their actions.Clear lines of authority

mean nothing unless thedeciding officials are iden-tified and measuredagainst what actually takesplace. No official, in otherwords, should be withoutaccountability for his orher decisions, which meansthat executive agencies andCongress alike need to per-form regular and robustoversight. Regular auditsfocused on inefficiencies,waste and poor perform-ance are critical.As a nation, we face a

growing issue on this frontwhen it comes to federalcontractors — that is, theprivate workforce doingjobs for federal agencies.The government itselfdoesn’t know how manycontract employees it has,but the Washington Postreported last year that fed-eral spending on contractsgrew 87 percent — or about5 percent a year — between2000 and 2012. This is aproblem because it createsan accountability vacuum.There are very few mecha-nisms for holding contrac-tors responsible for theirerrors, abuses and mis-steps.Which is why I noted

above that the media is asimportant as Congress andinternal government over-seers. We as citizensdepend on the media to tellus what’s going on in theentire system: within thebureaucracy, in the behav-ior of contractors andamong legislators whoought to be overseeing bothbut often don’t. This is akey public responsibility,and the press needs to bestaffed and have access tothe resources to do a goodjob — which, these days, isincreasingly rare.Accountability, in other

words, is key to good gov-ernment. All I wanted toknow in those congression-al hearings was who madethe decision about the pub-lic’s business.Is that too much to ask?

Leaders needaccountability

By FRED HIATTThe Washington Post Who would have predicted that the

last true democrats in Washingtonmight be found on the SupremeCourt?As partisanship and jockeying for

electoral advantage become all-con-suming, Congress refuses to do itsjob, while the White House reachesperilously toward doing Congress’sjob as well as its own. The Senatemajority and minority leaders nolonger work together. PresidentObama and House Speaker Paul D.Ryan long ago gave up on findingcommon ground.When Justice Antonin Scalia died,

it seemed a safe bet that the court,too, would fall victim to partisanparalysis.Already reviled by the left for Bush

v. Gore and Citizens United v. FEC,and by the right for not blocking Oba-macare, the court instantly rose tothe top of the presidential campaignagenda. Candidates boasted of litmustests for appointing judges that, untilrecently, no self-respecting politicianwould have admitted to. The justicesfound themselves evenly divided andare likely to remain so for a long time— a scenario, if there ever was one,for gridlock and point-scoring.But so far we have seen the oppo-

site. The justices, Republican- andDemocrat-appointed alike, seemdetermined to insulate their institu-tion as much as possible from the poi-son flowing through the other twobranches. In this brave attempt, theyare providing an example of howadults behave in a democracy.The first sign came in response to

the latest challenge to the AffordableCare Act. Obama wants to give allAmericans access to contraception.Catholic employers say doing sooffends their faith. Attempts at com-promise failed, and the Little Sistersof the Poor ended up pleading theircase before the court.The court’s response was, essen-

tially: Seriously? You guys can’t workthis out? The administration hadagreed that the Little Sisters would-n’t have to pay for birth control cov-

erage: The charity only had to certifyits unwillingness to do so and pro-vide enough information to allowsomeone else to offer coverage. TheLittle Sisters said even providingthat information violated their con-science.In a highly unusual move, the jus-

tices declined to rule, as though theycouldn’t believe they were beingasked to issue a major opinion onreligious freedom over something somanageable. They ordered the par-ties to the case to look again for acompromise. Amazingly, all sides ofthe dispute welcomed the parentalintervention.Last week, in a case that could have

riven the country along partisanlines, the justices again found a bet-ter way.Conservatives in Texas had asked

them to throw out the rule by whichthe nation has long apportioned leg-islative districts — one person, onevote. The challengers said that everydistrict should have not an equal pop-ulation but an equal number of eligi-ble voters.As a question of political philoso-

phy, the case was fascinating: Do chil-dren merit representation? Howabout undocumented immigrants, orfelons, or people who choose not toregister to vote?But the practical effect was not

complicated: A win for the plaintiffswould have been a win for the Repub-lican Party. Maybe it was no surprise,then, that liberal Justice Ruth BaderGinsburg wrote the majority opin-ion, approving the traditionalmethod of counting.What was striking, though, was the

modesty of her opinion: She wrotethat one person, one vote is constitu-tional, but she did not rule out other

methods as unconstitutional. Andher opinion was joined by Chief Jus-tice John G. Roberts Jr. and JusticeAnthony M. Kennedy, making clearthat liberals and conservatives on thecourt can and will work together.None of this sits well with the poi-

sonmongers, of course. Roberts hasbeen attacked by Sen. Charles E.Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of theJudiciary Committee, because(before Scalia’s death) Roberts spokeregretfully of the increasing politi-cization of the confirmation process.And he has been attacked by the leftfor refusing to call directly for theSenate to confirm Judge MerrickGarland to the court.Obama has been attacked by both

sides, too: by the right, for daring tonominate a successor to Scalia; bythe left, because he declined to treatScalia’s death as an opportunity tomobilize the Democratic base bynominating a liberal firebrand.Instead, admirably, he nominated asuperbly qualified judge who wouldbe committed to working with col-leagues as the justices are doing thisspring.None of this means the court will

always find a route to compromise;the next inflammatory decisioncould come tomorrow, for all I know.The justices disagree profoundly.Roberts, for example, is suspicious ofaffirmative action because he sees itas allowing the government to dis-criminate on the basis of race; Jus-tice Sonia Sotomayor will always bereluctant to limit government’s abili-ty to help victims of past discrimina-tion. But while remaining faithful to

their core principles, the justices aretrying to find a way to make theirinstitution work for the good of thecountry. That’s the definition ofdemocracy, which so many othershave forgotten.

By ERRIN HAINES WHACKand JOE RESNICKAssociated Press WritersPHILADELPHIA (AP)

— As cities across thecountry honored JackieRobinson’s pioneeringbaseball career, one alsoapologized for its racisttreatment of MajorLeague Baseball’s firstblack player nearly 70years ago.When Robinson’s Brook-

lyn Dodgers played thePhiladelphia Phillies in1947, he was told to “goback to the cotton fields”by the Phillies’ manager,refused service at a localhotel and taunted by play-ers with racial slurs whenhe came to bat. On Friday,Philadelphia’s city councilpublicly acknowledged theincident as a dark chapterin the city’s history.“He faced tremendous

racism in our city,” Coun-cilwoman Helen Gym said.“It was something henever forgot ... but neithershould we.”April 15 is recognized

nationally as JackieRobinson Day, and ball-

parks around the countryare also celebrating the69th anniversary of theday he broke the league’scolor barrier in 1947.Robinson played for theDodgers until 1956.All MLB players, man-

agers, coaches andumpires wore his No. 42for games Friday. BaseballCommissioner Rob Man-fred, at Yankee Stadiumfor the Seattle-New Yorkgame, said he was in hisoffice earlier in the dayand saw Colorado playingthe Cubs on television,with everyone wearing thesame number.“It’s a constant

reminder that today’s dif-ferent,” Manfred said.Gym presented a resolu-

tion , passed by the coun-cil last month, beforeabout 100 children, cityleaders and Robinson fans— some wearing his No. 42Dodgers jersey — gath-ered at the PhiladelphiaStars Negro LeagueMemorial Park. Amongthem was 79-year-old Car-olyn Mitchell, who sawRobinson play as a girl.

Mitchell, who is black,said Friday’s ceremonywas “very meaningful”and that passing by thepark gave her back fondmemories of watchingbaseball growing up. Theyoungest of eight childrenand her parents’ onlydaughter, Mitchell took tosports early and sawRobinson play in Philadel-

phia in the early 1950s.“He was unbelievable,”

she recalled, smiling. “Hecould run like crazy. Heused to love to stealbases.”Robinson’s skill for

basestealing is depicted ina mural on Philadelphia’snorth end painted nearly adecade ago in his honor.Walking near the mural

on Friday afternoon withher 10-year-old daughter,Nate, Tikeena Harrisexplained that blacks andwhites didn’t used to playsports together.Tommy Keels, who lived

nearby and passes themural regularly, saidRobinson was a ground-breaker who representedhis race well.

Cubs show they’re mortal, fall 6-1By MIKE CRANSTON Associated PressCHICAGO (AP) — The

Chicago Cubs played fun-damentally sound, oppor-tunistic baseball in get-ting off to the best startin the major leagues.Then they played Col-

orado on Friday.The Cubs committed

four errors and managedjust four singles in a 6-1loss to Chad Bettis andthe Rockies.“I even had a couple

that I felt like my glovehad a hole in it or some-thing,” right-hander KyleHendricks said. “It wasjust a weird game allaround. A lot of thingshappening. Just chalk itup to that. We’re fine.”Bettis pitched six

scoreless innings in Col-orado’s third straightwin. Ben Paulsen had anRBI single and threw out

a runner at the plate.“We just didn’t adjust to

them playing small ball,”Chicago shortstop Addi-son Russell said.The Cubs had won eight

of nine in their best startin 47 years. Third base-man Kris Bryant commit-ted two of the errors,including a wild throw ona bunt that scored a run inthe seventh.“We had a bad day,”

manager Joe Maddonsaid. “It’s not alwaysgonna be an oil painting.”Bettis (2-0) was sharp

in first career startagainst the Cubs, and hegot some help with sever-al fine plays by hisdefense. The 26-year-oldright-hander allowedthree hits, struck outfour and walked three.“I did feel very comfort-

able with my tempo andhow my pitches were

moving,” Bettis said.Hendricks (1-1) was

charged with four runs,two earned, and seven hitsin six innings. The Cubshad won five in a row.Chicago scored its lone

run in the seventh whenreliever Chad Qualls for-got to cover first on whatcould have been an inning-ending double play.With each of the play-

ers wearing No. 42 on the69th anniversary of Jack-ie Robinson becoming thefirst black major leaguer,the Rockies went ahead 1-0 in the second inning onPaulsen’s single to center.It scored Nolan Arenado,who reached when Hen-dricks couldn’t field histapper wide of mound.It was a sign of things

to come. Miguel Monterohad a passed ball andfirst baseman AnthonyRizzo’s miscue on a field-

er’s choice led to anotherrun in the eighth.Rockies: C Nick Hundley

missed his second straightgame since taking a ball offhis mask, but did hit beforethe game. Trainer KeithDugger said he would “notcall it a concussion.” ... CFCharlie Blackmon, wear-ing a walking boot on hisleft foot, said he would beready in 15 days afterbeing placed on the dis-abled list Thursday withturf toe.Cubs: INF Javier Baez

(thumb) drove all nightfrom Iowa after he wastold his Triple-A rehabstint was over. Baezarrived after 6 a.m. andwas activated off the dis-abled list before thegame. “It was really hardfor me because this wasgoing to be my first open-ing day,” Baez said.“Knowing that I could

have made the team, thenat the last minute I gothurt, it was frustrating.”Maddon said he shared

a glass of wine with INFMunenori Kawasaki onThursday night as he toldhim he was headed toTriple-A Iowa to makeroom for Baez.“It was very warm

moment,” Maddon said.“It was also a very tastymoment.” Rockies slugger Carlos

Gonzalez went for his dipcan before Friday’s game,and then remembered toask if it was legal. It’s notin Chicago, and Gonzalezput the smokeless tobac-co back in his locker.Gonzalez went 2 for 4 to

extend his hitting streakto 10 games. He has a 20-game regular-seasonstreak dating to Sept. 23,and is a .343 career hitteragainst the Cubs.

Silver:Jury outon NCNEW YORK (AP) —

NBA Commissioner AdamSilver said Friday a NorthCarolina law that limitsanti-discrimination pro-tections for lesbian, gayand transgender peopleremains “problematic” forthe league, but he saidthere is no decision onmoving next year’s All-Star Game out of Char-lotte.Owners discussed the

law during their two-daymeetings and Silver saidthe league wants to beinvolved in helping pro-tect those the law discrim-inates against. He believesthat is better done withdialogue than by makingthreats.“Let me be clear. The

current state of the law isproblematic for the NBAin North Carolina,” Silversaid. “I think for the league

office and our owners, Ithink the discussion washow can we be most con-structive in being part of aprocess that results in thekind of change that wethink is necessary.”The North Carolina law

directs transgender peopleto use public toilets corre-sponding to the sex listedon their birth certificate.

Boston marks 3rd anniversaryBOSTON (AP) — Boston

marked the third anniver-sary of the deadly 2013marathon bombings Fri-day with subdued, silentremembrances.Victims’ families laid

wreaths at the spots wheretwo pressure cookerbombs detonated near theBoylston Street finish line,killing three people andinjuring more than 260.The father of 29-year-old

bombing victim KrystleCampbell, MassachusettsGov. Charlie Baker and

Baker’s wife, Lauren,placed one of the whiteflower wreaths.Mayor Marty Walsh and

the families of 8-year-oldMartin Richard and 23-year-old Lingzi Lu — theother two killed — placedanother wreath at the siteof the second bomb blast.No one spoke. A bagpipe

played softly before theoccasion, which wasobserved by nearly 100people including sur-vivors, their families andsupporters.

A multicolored bannerwith a peace sign, a heartand words Martin Richardhad written before hisdeath — “no more hurtingpeople ... peace” — hungon an empty storefront.Two men placed crosses

on a tree honoring the vic-tims, including Massachu-setts Institute of Technol-ogy Police Officer SeanCollier, who was killed bythe attackers in the ensu-ing manhunt.Scott Weisberg, a 46-

year-old Birmingham,

Alabama, physician whofinished the 2013marathon seconds beforethe first bomb detonated,said he comes back eachyear for the anniversaryand to run the race.He wears hearing aids

now because he sufferedhearing loss and recentlyclosed his medical prac-tice because he continuesto deal with memory lossand speech processingproblems from headinjuries he sustained inthe blast.
