mong Northern states, Indiana
sent one of the highest
percentages of young men and
boys to battle for the
Union Army during
the Civil War.
Ever since the war
from 1861 to 1865,
the large number of
Hoosiers who joined
“President Lincoln’s
Union Army” has
been a source of pride for many in
the state. It’s the inspiration for many
memorials built to honor Hoosiers
lost in the North vs. South conflict,
including the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument in downtown Indianapolis.
Sadly, by the end of the war, more
than 25,000 Hoosiers had been killed
in battle or died of diseases that
quickly spread in the soldiers’ camps.
The war also dramatically affected
the lives of women,
children and
nonmilitary men
who stayed home to
keep life going on
farms and in towns.
In southern
Indiana during
July 1863, farms

and towns were
John Hunt Morgan
looted and
burned by Confederates. Known as
“Morgan’s Raiders” because they were
commanded by Confederate Gen. John
Hunt Morgan, they charged across the
Ohio River and raided Indiana towns
such as Salem and Dupont.
In their path, Morgan’s Raiders
burned bridges and railroad depots,
seized food from farmhouses and

stole horses. Panic spread across the
state. Hoosiers feared the Confederate
cavalry planned to seize the State
Capitol Building in Indianapolis.
But the Confederates encountered
resistance and were diverted to Ohio,
where they were defeated and Gen.
Morgan was captured.
All of the other significant military
conflicts involving Hoosiers happened
in other states, both in the North
and in the South. Hoosiers were
involved in every major battle of the
war, including the bloody Battle of
Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. The
19th Regiment from Indiana not only
earned glory and fought in Gettysburg,
they became members of the Iron
Brigade, one of the war’s most famous
group of soldiers.
Hoosiers who served in Civil War
regiments confronted brutal conditions
in many ways. Consider a group
organized soon after the outbreak
of the war that was called the 14th
Indiana Volunteers. (“Volunteers”
referred to the fact that these men
offered to join the Union Army instead
of being required or “drafted,” as
happened later during the war.)
During a bitterly cold winter, the
14th Indiana soldiers camped in the
mountains of West Virginia. Amid
howling winds, pelting snow and
plunging temperatures, many of the
Hoosiers almost froze because their
tattered uniforms were falling apart.
Most did not even
have overcoats.
Indiana’s
governor during
the Civil War,
Oliver P. Morton,
requested that
President Abraham
Lincoln supply the
Gov. Oliver P. Morton
shivering Hoosier
soldiers with coats
and better uniforms.
A major supporter
of the Union cause
from the beginning,
Gov. Morton
worked to recruit
troops from Indiana
and became known
Col. Eli Lilly
as the “soldiers’
friend.” Today, a statue of Gov. Morton
stands in front of the State Capitol.
Other Hoosiers achieved fame
during the Civil War (or after it)
including Col. Eli Lilly, who founded
a business that makes medicine; Gen.
Lew Wallace, who wrote a bestselling
State
book titled “Ben-Hur,” and Benjamin
Harrison, who was elected U.S.
president.
Not all Hoosiers
supported the
Union side,
though. Residents
of the state who
sympathized with
the Confederates
often were called
Gen. Lew Wallace
“Copperheads.”
(Critics came up with the nickname as a
comparison to snakes in the grass.)
Long before the Civil War broke
out, some Hoosiers had been actively
helping escaped slaves from the South.
The fleeing slaves made their way
across Indiana and other Northern
states on what eventually was known
as the Underground Railroad – a
secret network of homes, churches and
businesses where people would shelter
escaped slaves. Sometimes they hid
in attics, cellars and secret rooms as
they made their way to freedom, often
traveling at night.
African-Americans living in Indiana
frequently provided help with the
Underground Railroad. So did Quakers,
whose religious faith involved strong
objections to slavery.
When so many Hoosier men left to
fight for the Union cause, their wives
often ended up running farms and
businesses. Sometimes neighbors came
together to harvest the crops of soldiers’
families.
With the mounting deaths of soldiers,
the Civil War resulted in thousands of
widows in Indiana as well as orphans
or children who had lost at least one
parent. Many of these women and
children struggled with poverty. That’s
why the Civil War transformed the lives
of so many Hoosiers, even those far
from battlefields.

Hagan trial set to begin today
By NICOLE MINIER
The Post & Mail
S. Whitley man faces murder, homicide charges
COLUMBIA CITY — A
three-day trial begins today
for a South Whitley man
accused of killing another
man.
David Hagan, 52, was indicted by a Whitley County
Grand Jury in November
following the investigation
into the shooting death of
Adam Porter, 29, in South
Whitley last August.
Despite Hagan’s argument of self defense, the
Grand Jury indicted him
on the two charges: murder
and reckless homicide.
The three-day trial begins
today with jury selection
and opening statements.
Officials expect the jury
to make a decision by
Thursday.
According to court documents, Hagan allegedly
shot and killed Porter while
Porter was in Hagan’s
backyard.
Hagan then reportedly
called 9-1-1, put his weap-
on down and met police in
the front yard without incident.
Hagan was detained for
questioning but later released without enough information to warrant his
arrest.
Following an investigation, a Grand Jury was held
and Hagan was indicted.
He was arrested shortly after.
The Whitley County
Circuit Courtroom will be
open to the public following jury selection.
Circuit court is located on
the third floor of the Whitley County Courthouse.

EDC Venture Accelerator program celebration last week.

Each of the graduates shared
presentations
summarizing
their business models and
business plans to move forward with their ventures.

highlighting how far her business has come, and how the
Accelerator program helped
her reach some of those business goals.

Rotarians meet S. Whitley’s
One Community director
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia
City’s Rotary Club hosted Lori Starkey, representing One Community, an
action group in South Whitley whose
mission statement deals with “working with the community to create an
environment in which individuals
can engage in meaningful ways with
each other and with the overall community.”
The concept was formulated between Starkey and her oldest son
Dane.
Soon, a nonprofit organization
emerged. It started with just ideas in
2011, and then proceeded with a Board
of Directors, bylaws and the aforementioned mission statement. Their
first project was launched on June 30
of 2014.
They decided early on that the best
way to accomplish their goals would
be through the use of food. Since
their first perceived need in the community was doing something for the
senior citizens, they started providing
lunches for seniors on Mondays and
Wednesdays.
Starkey gives a lot of the credit to
the wonderful organizations within
the community who came forward to
help. The Community Foundation of
Whitley County and the United Way
were two of the early supporters.
They decided to call their first project “Lunch and Camaraderie,” because
there was nothing in South Whitley set
up for seniors to gather together and
enjoy each other’s company.
They used the Town hall for the
gathering and typically would have
an average of 29 seniors in attendance
for the luncheons.
It’s been active now every week for
two years. They even deliver 18 meals
to seniors who are not able to attend
every week.
“It has become a staple in our community,” she said. “Many stay late to
enjoy each other’s company and some
say that this is the highlight of their
week.”
After the initial program was
launched, One Community has added
three more programs in 2015. Empower Us is a mentoring program between
needy students, as selected by a caring
teacher, and a willing adult from the
community. The program calls for the
adult to meet with the student once a
week for 30 minutes to play games,
play, draw, color or just talk. Teachers
report the positive results that they see
in the classroom.
The year 2015 also witnessed the
startup of the Summer Feeding Program.
Fox Products part-time employee
Holly Frantz organized a lunch for
students under 18 to come for lunch
and meet with volunteers to build up
caring relationships. The program is
being expanded this year.
The Wildcat Coffee program is for
the students at Whitko High School
and offers a place three nights a week
Lori Starkey
for the kids to meet, play games and
interact in a Christian atmosphere under the direction of Youth For Christ
members.
This year they are starting April
Arts, a Saturday program with art
classes that are offered to students
from K-12 in South Whitley.
Starkey stressed that the programs
are the result of generous donations
from the Community Foundation,
IPFW Community Arts Academy, and
South Whitley Main Street. One Community’s website is www.ocwhitko.com.
Pence names Indy lawyer
to state Supreme Court
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP)
— Indianapolis attorney
Geoffrey Slaughter, tapped
to become the newest member of the Indiana Supreme
Court, will "serve the people
of Indiana with great distinction," Gov. Mike Pence
said Monday in announcing
Slaughter as his pick to fill a
vacancy on the state's highest court.
Pence said it wasn't easy
choosing the 53-year-old
Slaughter to succeed the recently retired Justice Brent
Dickson, who stepped down
after more than 30 years on
the bench before reaching
the court's mandatory retirement age of 75 in July.
The
governor
said
Slaughter and the two other
finalists recommended to
him by the Indiana Judicial
Nomination Commission —
St. Joseph Superior Court
Judge Steven Hostetler and
Boone Superior Court Judge
Matthew Kincaid— represented "extraordinary talent."
Pence cited Slaughter's
depth of understanding of
the Constitution and antitrust law as reasons he chose
the Lake County native for
the court.
But he said Slaughter
also shares some of the
same qualities Dickson was
praised for at his April 29 retirement ceremony, including his intellect, his character, his disposition and his
demeanor.
"Throughout his nearly
30-year legal career, Geoff
has demonstrated a firstrate legal intellect, an unparalleled understanding of the
Constitution and antitrust
law and remarkable ability
to think and write clearly
on complex legal issues,"
Pence said. "He will serve
the people of Indiana with
great distinction."
The governor revealed his
pick at a Statehouse news
conference attended by the
court's four other members,
Chief Justice Loretta Rush
and Justices Robert Rucker,
Steven David and Mark
Massa. Other guests included former Justice Frank Sullivan Jr.
in the Whitley County EDC
Venture Accelerator,” said
Tony. “Through the program, we not only realized
our dream of opening Blue
Moon Bakery, but we discovered during the process that
we wanted to be a part of the
revitalization of downtown
as well.”
“This cohort’s companies
were a pleasure to work
with,” said EDC Small Business Coach Steve Franks,
“Their passion for Whitley
County along with their
business
professionalism
make our community a better place.”
The EDC is currently accepting applications for the
next cohort of the program,
which begins this June. For

“I’m so thankful for the
opportunity to work with
Steve Franks in the Venture
Accelerator,” said Miller,
“He provided expertise to
help me boil down ideas
and make those ideas practical and achievable. I have
an optimism and excitement
for my business that wasn’t

Whitley County EDC for
providing such a valuable
and unique resource to our
community!”
O’Reilly’s business, Pluck‘em Poultry, is a mobile
processing unit. Pluck ‘em
Poultry processes chickens,
waterfowl, turkeys and other birds for owners of small
flocks. O’Reilly explained
that there’s a strong need
for the mobile processing
unit option in this area, and
across the entire Midwest.
As a mobile processing business, Pluck ‘em Poultry can
help save the clients time
and resources spent on loading up birds and transporting them to a processor. She
explained how tedious it is
currently, to get birds processed.
The flock must first be
gathered, then transported
to a processor, then there’s
a period of waiting time until the birds are ready, then
the customer drives all the
way back to pick up the processed birds.
Pluck ‘em Poultry simplifies that process.
“Before participating in
the Venture Accelerator program I thought on a very
small scale, and with Steve’s
help I realized the potential of my business,” said
O’Reilly.
Tony, executive chef; Jenn,
business manager; and
daughter Emma Flanagan,
‘honorary sous chef,’ are the
owners of Blue Moon Bakery.
Tony and Jenn shared that
Columbia City hasn’t had
a bakery since 1960, and
that it was time for a bakery
they hoped would become
a downtown destination —
and downtown is where they
will be. The Flanagans recently purchased the former
Whitley County Abstract &
Title Insurance building in
downtown Columbia City at
101 S. Main Street (at the corner of Main and Van Buren).
Blue Moon Bakery will provide fresh baked goods such
as breads, muffins, scones,
fritters and specialty doughnuts.
The anticipated opening
date for Blue Moon Bakery is
slated for October 2016.

The
Indiana voters send mixed signals
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The
volatile 2016 campaign season
turns toward the November general election with mixed signals
from Indiana voters, who showed
some rebellious spirit in Tuesday's primary by giving victories
to outsiders Donald Trump and
Bernie Sanders in the presidential
races. But they didn't fully mutiny
against establishment candidates,
as evidenced by the rejection of a
tea party-backed congressman for
the GOP Senate nomination.
A wealthy political newcomer
won a contentious GOP primary
for one open congressional seat,
while a Republican state senator defeated several rivals for the
other. And two top power brokers
in the General Assembly easily defeated challengers.
With that as a backdrop, the fight
for control of the governor's office
already has taken to the television
airwaves. Here are some things to
know:
Pence-Gregg, Round 2
It's the unofficial beginning of
the gubernatorial race since nei-
ther Republican Gov. Mike Pence
nor Democrat John Gregg faced
primary foes. Pence narrowly defeated Gregg, a former Indiana
House speaker, in 2012.
Gregg started his TV ads Thursday, including one in which he
takes a dig at Pence over the state's
economy: "Politicians say there are
more jobs. Your pocketbook tells
you the truth. Wages aren't keeping up."
Pence, meanwhile, launched a
positive ad highlighting that the
state's unemployment rate has
sharply dropped during his time in
office — from 8.4 percent in January 2013 to 5 percent in March.
A major campaign issue is expected to be Pence's handling of
the state's religious objections law,
which drew widespread uproar
last year from opponents who argued it would sanction discrimination against gay people.
Senate rematch,
of sorts
GOP U.S. Rep. Todd Young has
stuck to the script since launching
his campaign, touting his military
service and record against Democratic rival Baron Hill, whom he
ousted from Congress during
2010's tea party wave.
"Did I mention I'm a United
States Marine who's beaten Baron Hill before and can beat him
again?" Young said in April after debating U.S. Rep. Marlin
Stutzman, whom he beat in the primary by more than a 2-to-1 margin.
Now, Young gets his shot to
prove it in a race that could have
national implications as Democrats
seek to retake control of the U.S.
Senate.
Indiana has voted reliably Republican in recent years and the
race is Young's to lose, but Hill has
vowed a spirited campaign and
touts what he calls a bipartisan
centrist record.
But some Republican strategists
worry Trump's spot atop the ticket
could wreak havoc for down-ballot
races.
"If Indiana were to elect a Democrat to the Senate, it would be
somebody like Baron Hill," said
Marjorie Hershey, a political science professor at Indiana Univer-
sity.
Congress calling
Political newcomer Trey Hollingsworth will be trying to keep
southern Indiana's 9th Congressional District in Republican control
after winning the GOP primary
eight months after moving from
Tennessee. The 32-year-old faced
criticism that he was trying to buy
the seat as he and his father spent
at least $1.7 million of their own
money on a TV commercial-heavy
campaign that touted him as an
outsider with business experience.
Hollingsworth faces Democrat
Shelli Yoder of Bloomington, a
Monroe County Council member
who ran a competitive campaign
against Young in 2012 and has had
modest fundraising success.
No drama is expected for the 3rd
District seat in northeastern Indiana, which Stutzman gave up for
his Senate bid. Republican state
Sen. Jim Banks of Columbia City
won a six-candidate primary in the
heavily GOP district.
For northern Indiana's 2nd District, Republican Rep. Jackie Wal-
orski is the only incumbent U.S.
House member who faces a potentially serious challenger in Democrat Lynn Coleman, a retired South
Bend police officer.
The other four Republican and
two Democratic House members
face foes with little money or organization.
Legislative
supermajorities
Democrats will be trying to claw
back into relevance in the General
Assembly by breaking the twothirds supermajorities that Republicans hold, which allows the
chambers to take action without
Democrats even being present.
The campaigns for president and
governor could have a big impact
on whether Democrats can add the
five seats in the 100-member House
or seven seats in the 50-member
Senate they need.
Two top state Senate leaders are
expected to win re-election: President Pro Tem David Long of Fort
Wayne and Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley turned aside primary challengers.
Today in history
Today is Tuesday, May 10,
the 131st day of 2016. There
are 235 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight
in History:
On May 10, 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf
Hess, parachuted into Scotland on what he claimed
was a peace mission. (Hess
ended up serving a life sentence at Spandau Prison until 1987, when he apparently
committed suicide at age 93.)
On this date:
In 1775, Ethan Allen and
his Green Mountain Boys,
along with Col. Benedict Arnold, captured the Britishheld fortress at Ticonderoga,
New York.
In 1863, during the Civil
War, Confederate Lt. Gen.
Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson died of pneumonia, a
complication resulting from
being hit by friendly fire
eight days earlier during the
Battle of Chancellorsville in
Virginia.

why they left me here alone and didn’t care to share
any of my information with the nice people taking care
of me, but all that matters is I’m here safe and I love
and appreciate the people caring for me now. I am a
handsome black and white collie husky mix, already
neutered and ready for my forever home. On top of all the
stress coming here, I am also heartworm positive and
looking for kind donors like you to sponsor my treatment
so I can be nice and healthy again. I am 4 years old and
very mellow. I walk really well on a leash and I hope my
new owners will take me to all kind of places. I can’t wait
to find them so please hurry in to meet me!

Indiana during Civil War
Large number of Hoosiers battled for Union Army
Editor’s note – To mark Indiana’s
bicentennial, Indiana education groups
present this historical series, “So You Think
You Know Indiana: Celebrating 200 years of
the Hoosier State.”
By Nelson Price
mong Northern states, Indiana
sent one of the highest
percentages of young men and
boys to battle for the
Union Army during
the Civil War.
Ever since the war
from 1861 to 1865,
the large number of
Hoosiers who joined
“President Lincoln’s
Union Army” has
been a source of pride for many in
the state. It’s the inspiration for many
memorials built to honor Hoosiers
lost in the North vs. South conflict,
including the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument in downtown Indianapolis.
Sadly, by the end of the war, more
than 25,000 Hoosiers had been killed
in battle or died of diseases that
quickly spread in the soldiers’ camps.
The war also dramatically affected
the lives of women,
children and
nonmilitary men
who stayed home to
keep life going on
farms and in towns.
In southern
Indiana during
July 1863, farms
Confederate Gen.
and towns were
John Hunt Morgan
looted and
burned by Confederates. Known as
“Morgan’s Raiders” because they were
commanded by Confederate Gen. John
Hunt Morgan, they charged across the
Ohio River and raided Indiana towns
such as Salem and Dupont.
In their path, Morgan’s Raiders
burned bridges and railroad depots,
seized food from farmhouses and

stole horses. Panic spread across the
state. Hoosiers feared the Confederate
cavalry planned to seize the State
Capitol Building in Indianapolis.
But the Confederates encountered
resistance and were diverted to Ohio,
where they were defeated and Gen.
Morgan was captured.
All of the other significant military
conflicts involving Hoosiers happened
in other states, both in the North
and in the South. Hoosiers were
involved in every major battle of the
war, including the bloody Battle of
Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. The
19th Regiment from Indiana not only
earned glory and fought in Gettysburg,
they became members of the Iron
Brigade, one of the war’s most famous
group of soldiers.
Hoosiers who served in Civil War
regiments confronted brutal conditions
in many ways. Consider a group
organized soon after the outbreak
of the war that was called the 14th
Indiana Volunteers. (“Volunteers”
referred to the fact that these men
offered to join the Union Army instead
of being required or “drafted,” as
happened later during the war.)
During a bitterly cold winter, the
14th Indiana soldiers camped in the
mountains of West Virginia. Amid
howling winds, pelting snow and
plunging temperatures, many of the
Hoosiers almost froze because their
tattered uniforms were falling apart.
Most did not even
have overcoats.
Indiana’s
governor during
the Civil War,
Oliver P. Morton,
requested that
President Abraham
Lincoln supply the
Gov. Oliver P. Morton
shivering Hoosier
soldiers with coats
and better uniforms.
A major supporter
of the Union cause
from the beginning,
Gov. Morton
worked to recruit
troops from Indiana
and became known
Col. Eli Lilly
as the “soldiers’
friend.” Today, a statue of Gov. Morton
stands in front of the State Capitol.
Other Hoosiers achieved fame
during the Civil War (or after it)
including Col. Eli Lilly, who founded
a business that makes medicine; Gen.
Lew Wallace, who wrote a bestselling
book titled “Ben-Hur,” and Benjamin
Harrison, who was elected U.S.
president.
Not all Hoosiers
supported the
Union side,
though. Residents
of the state who
sympathized with
the Confederates
often were called
Gen. Lew Wallace
“Copperheads.”
(Critics came up with the nickname as a
comparison to snakes in the grass.)
Long before the Civil War broke
out, some Hoosiers had been actively
helping escaped slaves from the South.
The fleeing slaves made their way
across Indiana and other Northern
states on what eventually was known
as the Underground Railroad – a
secret network of homes, churches and
businesses where people would shelter
escaped slaves. Sometimes they hid
in attics, cellars and secret rooms as
they made their way to freedom, often
traveling at night.
African-Americans living in Indiana
frequently provided help with the
Underground Railroad. So did Quakers,
whose religious faith involved strong
objections to slavery.
When so many Hoosier men left to
fight for the Union cause, their wives
often ended up running farms and
businesses. Sometimes neighbors came
together to harvest the crops of soldiers’
families.
With the mounting deaths of soldiers,
the Civil War resulted in thousands of
widows in Indiana as well as orphans
or children who had lost at least one
parent. Many of these women and
children struggled with poverty. That’s
why the Civil War transformed the lives
of so many Hoosiers, even those far
from battlefields.
Nelson Price is an Indianapolis-based author,
journalist, historian and radio personality.

The
Judge says ‘El Chapo’ extradition may proceed
MEXICO CITY (AP) — A federal
judge has ruled that the extradition of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the U.S. can move
ahead, Mexico’s Judicial Council
said Monday, but the Foreign Relations Department must still approve it and the defense can appeal.
The council, which oversees
Mexico’s federal judges and tribunals, said the judge, who was
not identified, had agreed that the
legal requirements laid out in the
extradition treaty between the two
countries had been met.
The Foreign Relations Department has 20 days to decide whether to approve Guzman’s extradi-
tion.
Any extradition attempt can be
delayed or stopped by a request to
the court by attorneys for Guzman,
the convicted leader of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta
Lynch said at an unrelated news
conference that she was looking
forward to an “imminent” resolution, but did not have a specific
timeline.
Guzman was moved Saturday
from a prison outside Mexico City
to one in Ciudad Juarez near the
U.S. border. Questions have arisen
on both sides of the border about
the decision to relocate the drug
lord to a region that is one of his
cartel’s strongholds.
A Mexican security official acknowledged Sunday that the sudden transfer was to a less-secure
prison.
The official said that in general
the Cefereso No. 9 prison on the
outskirts of Ciudad Juarez, across
from El Paso, Texas, is not as impregnable as the maximum-security Altiplano facility near Mexico
City where Guzman had been
held. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the case publicly
and agreed to do so only if not
quoted by name.
The official said, however, that
Guzman is being held in a maximum-security wing where the
same protocols are being enforced
as in Altiplano, including 24-hour
monitoring via a camera in his cell.
Altiplano is considered the country’s highest-security prison.
“El Chapo” first broke out of
another prison in 2001 and spent
more than a decade on the run,
becoming one of the world’s mostwanted fugitives. He was recaptured in 2014, but slipped out of
Altiplano, which many previously
had thought was unescapable, in
July 2015 by fleeing through a sophisticated, mile-long tunnel that
went up into the shower in his cell.
Mexican marines re-arrested
him in the western state of Sinaloa
in January, after he fled a safe
house through a storm drain.
He was returned to Altiplano,
where he was placed under constant observation from a ceiling
camera with no blind spots, and
the floors of top-security cells were
reinforced with metal bars and a
16-inch (40-centimeter) layer of
concrete.
Some Mexican media have speculated that the weekend move was
a prelude to imminent extradition
to the U.S., where he faces drug
charges in seven jurisdictions. But
authorities denied that, and multiple analysts told The Associated
Press that there was no sign of a
link between the prison switch and
extradition.

2 confirmed dead as tornadoes hit Plains
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Tornadoes destroyed homes, overturned vehicles and stripped
the bark from trees Monday as they churned
across Oklahoma, part of a strong series of storms
that hit the Plains.
At least two people died in weather so violent
that forecasters declared a “tornado emergency”
for communities in the path of one of the twisters.
“You are in a life-threatening situation,” forecasters declared while warning the communities
of Roff, population 725, and Hickory, population
71, which were ultimately spared major damage.
“Flying debris will be deadly to those caught
without shelter.”
Dana Lance was driving through the Pontotoc
County community of Roff on her way home from
work Monday when the skies grew ominous, sirens wailed and forecasters on the radio told
people to take cover. “I parked and went into the
school, which has a safe room,” Lance said. “There
were kids and elderly people, dogs and cats, babies. It was like the whole town was there.”
In nearby Murray County, where Hickory is located, emergency management director Gary Ligon said one person was injured.
Garvin County officials said a man believed to
be in his upper 70s died when another tornado
THE
hit a home near Wynnewood, south of Oklahoma City. That storm, caught on video by several
storm chasers, appeared white against the dark
clouds of a supercell storm. In Johnston County,
the sheriff’s office said a man was killed by a tornado near Connerville.
The Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management reported the storms destroyed a radio station building in Coal County and an undetermined number of homes in Murray, Garvin and
Johnston counties.
The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, had warned of a substantial tornado risk
and said Arkansas could see tornadoes overnight
Monday.
The bad weather should settle in the Ohio and
Tennessee valleys on Tuesday, forecasters said,
while another storm system should bring storms
to the area from north Texas to near St. Louis on
Wednesday.
In Hugo, near the Red River, Charles Webb
piled one of his dogs and one of his cats in the
laundry room Monday and hunkered down as
the storm came over his house, clipping trees and
spinning up debris. Webb said he emerged from
his home minutes later to see blue skies.
“We’re real lucky, but we’ve been lucky for a lot
Y-Corner
of years, fortunately,” Webb said Monday.
In the rolling hills between Oklahoma City and
Dallas, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol closed Interstate 35 near Wynnewood for 15 minutes Monday so the storm could pass.
Jessica Randolph, a cashier at the Love’s Travel
Stop in Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma, said the tornado
came so close that managers ordered employees
and customers to take shelter.
“They put us in the showers,” Randolph said. “I
drove in when all of that was going on. All we had
was pea-sized hail.”
Despite the danger, Randolph said she has seen
severe weather before and wasn’t frightened by
the experience.
“Not for me. I’m used to it,” she said.
The National Weather Service said a tornado
touched down in central Iowa, with no immediate reports of damage, and another hit near Nehawka, Nebraska, about 30 miles south of Omaha.
Sandy Weyers, the director of the Cass County
Emergency Management office, said a homeowner didn’t make it inside by the time the tornado
arrived so he grabbed onto a tree and “rode it
out.” Weyers said the man suffered only cuts and
scrapes, while the home was a total loss after the
roof and four outer walls gave way.

DES MOINES, Iowa
(AP) — For Bernie and
Jane Sanders, the revolution continues, despite the
odds.
The Vermont senator’s
insurgent campaign seems
on its last legs. With a clear
delegate lead, Hillary Clinton has turned her focus
to the general election and
presumptive Republican
nominee Donald Trump.
Sanders’ fundraising has
dropped off and he has
shed hundreds of staffers. Even President Barack
Obama is noting the realities of the delegate math.
But in Atlantic City on
Monday, Sanders urged his
supporters to keep fighting.
“If we can win here in
New Jersey and win in
California and win in some
of the other states and if we
can win a majority of the
pledged delegates, we’re
going to go into Philadelphia and the Democratic
convention and expect to
come out with the Democratic nomination,” Sanders said.
That’s a lot of ifs. Sanders
is trailing Clinton by nearly
300 pledged delegates —
those won in primaries
and caucuses. Clinton also
holds a commanding lead
among
superdelegates,
the elected officials and
party leaders who can support the candidate of their
choice. That leaves her
only 155 delegates short of
the 2,383 she needs to secure the nomination.
Sanders clings to the
hope he can erase the gap
with pledged delegates by
winning a string of victories, starting with West
Virginia on Tuesday, Kentucky and Oregon on May
17 and California and New
Jersey on June 7.
But the White House
looks increasingly out of
reach and many Democrats are left with questions
about what Sanders wants
— which he and his wife
do not want to entertain.

Dear
Concerned:
People often think food
allergies are minor, or
worse, optional. They
think it’s silly to have to
cater to all of these food
issues, and we hope your
letter will open their eyes.
We especially like your
idea of nonfood prizes and
treats, not only because
it eliminates the danger
of anaphylaxis, but also
because it helps re-program kids to stop rewarding themselves with
unhealthy, high-calorie
edibles.

savvy to the test!
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine
3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each
row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row,
column and box. You can figure out the order in which the number will
appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The
more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Recipe of the Day
HONEY-CHIPOTLE CHICKEN
TACOS
Ingredients
No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 can (8 oz each) Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo
1-1/2 lbs. bnls skinless chicken thighs
12 flour tortillas (6 inch), warmed
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, sliced
1 cup sour cream
Lime wedges, optional
The Family Circus
Directions: Spray inside of 4-quart slow
cooker with cooking spray. Combine
sauce, honey and chipotle peppers in
slow cooker. Add chicken. Cover; cook
on LOW 8 hours or HIGH 4 hours.
Transfer chicken to cutting board; shred
with 2 forks. Return chicken to slow
cooker, stirring to combine with sauce.
Place about 1/4 cup chicken in each
tortilla. Evenly divide and top with avocado and sour cream. Serve with lime
wedges, if desired.
Cryptoquip
The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that
X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using
an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error.

The
Padres-Cubs rained out, putting Chicago's 24-6 start on hold
CHICAGO (AP) — There's seemingly only one thing that can stop
the Chicago Cubs these days: rain.
With the tarp on the field and
an unfavorable forecast, Monday
night's series opener against the
San Diego Padres was washed out
about five minutes after the scheduled start time, putting on hold the
Cubs' major league-best 24-6 record
and seven-game winning streak.
The game will be made up as part
of a split doubleheader on Wednesday, with games starting at 12:05
p.m. and 7:05 p.m. CDT.
Monday's scheduled pitchers will
start Tuesday night's game, with
Chicago lefty Jon Lester (3-1, 1.58
ERA) facing right-hander Cesar
Vargas (0-1, 1.10)
It was the third home rainout of
the season for the Cubs, who are off
to the best start in the majors since
the 1984 Detroit Tigers were 35-5
and went on to win the World Series.
The last time the Cubs had a record this good: 1907 when they were
also 24-6. The Cubs won the World
Series that year and then again in
1908, after which their current 108year championships drought began.
"I wouldn't want to be on any
other team right now," said second
baseman Ben Zobrist, who shared
the NL Player of the Week award.
The rainout gave the bullpen
rest after four relievers combined
to throw eight shutout innings in
Sunday's 4-3, 13-inning win over
Washington.
It delayed the start of a sevengame trip for San Diego, which sat
last in the NL West after losing two
of three at home to the New York
Mets.
Andy Green was to manage at
Wrigley Field for the first time. The
rookie skipper grew up a Cubs fan
in Kentucky.

Lehtonen makes
35 saves, Stars
force Game 7
with 3-2 win
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie
Mattias Janmark ignited a
three-goal first period and
Kari Lehtonen made 35
saves for the Dallas Stars,
who forced Game 7 with a
3-2 victory over the St. Louis
Blues on Monday night.
Vernon Fiddler and Jason
Spezza also scored for Dallas, which reclaimed home
ice for the deciding game
on Wednesday night despite
getting outshot 37-14 with
the Blues dominating the
last two periods.
Alexander Steen and
Patrik Berglund scored for
St. Louis.
Home ice has meant little,
given the road team has won
three in a row and four of six
in the series.
from A11
The reason is that they
needed Golson here this
weekend to help the practices function.
With no rookie quarterbacks on the roster, the Colts
invited Golson and two
other quarterbacks — Blake
Frohnapfel of UMass and
Ammon Olsen of Southern
Utah — to throw and hand
off. Of course all three are
hoping they’re impressive
enough to earn one of the
90 spots on a training camp
roster.
But it’s better than nothing.
“It’s hard to get into one
of these facilities, especially
for the guys that you’re talking about, the tryout guys,”
coach Chuck Pagano said
when asked what he’s looking for from the invited tryouts.
“Just like anybody else,
see if somebody pops, see if
a guy is able to retain the information that we’ve thrown
at him and then from a physical standpoint how does he
move around, can he better
our football team, can he
better our roster.
“Sometimes that hap-
pens. It’s happened before.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see
one of the 18 or 19 guys we
have out there.”
Golson could be near the
top of the list.
Just a few years ago, Golson was considered one of
college football’s top quarterbacks.
After leading Notre Dame
to the national championship game after the 2012 season, it seemed as if Golson’s
career was taking off.
Instead, he was suspended the following season for
“poor academic judgment.”
When he returned to the
field in 2014, Golson led the
Fighting Irish to a 6-0 start
and a top-five ranking before
his season unraveled. Golson threw 10 interceptions
in his final seven games with
the Irish. Notre Dame went
2-5 during that stretch and
Golson was benched for the
first time in his career.
So after earning his degree, Golson headed to Florida State, jumpstarted his career by winning the starting
job and beginning 6-0 before
missing the next two games
with a concussion. Golson
threw only 12 passes the rest
of the season.
“I think it made me stronger, I think its character,”
Golson said, referring to his
struggles. “You’re not tested
when things are going well,
you’re tested in adversity
and I’ve certainly had my
share of adversity.”
As well as second chances.
Now, with perhaps a final
chance to impress the skeptics, Golson is doing what
he can. In Indianapolis, he
looked and sounded more
like the talented player who
played at two of the nation’s
biggest football powers.
The only question is
whether that will be enough
for the Colts or another team
to keep Golson around this
summer.
“I’m here to learn, so being around these guys will
help,” he said.

Kyle Busch keeps Joe Gibbs
Racing at front of Sprint Cup
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — At the
season-opening Daytona 500, Joe Gibbs
Racing proved it was unquestionably
the fastest, from Denny Hamlin taking
the checkered flag to its quartet of cars
leading more than three-quarters of the
race.
It turned out to be a harbinger of
things to come.
After watching Kyle Busch drive
away from Kevin Harvick to win Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race at Kansas
Speedway, Gibbs drivers have won six
times in the first 11 races. Everybody on
the team has a win except Matt Kenseth, and the former series champion
finished a season-best fourth at Kansas.
“The hardest thing in pro sports is
to stay up there every week and right
now it’s been a thrill,” Gibbs said after celebrating Busch’s first Sprint Cup
win at a track that’s caused him so
much trouble.
“In a sport where we have so many
great teams, so many great owners —
it’s so competitive, it’s so hard to get on
a hot streak,” Gibbs said. “I appreciate
how nice it is to reel off several wins
like this.”
In fact, things have been so good for
Gibbs that Martin Truex Jr., whose Furniture Row team has a technical alliance with JGR, may have been the fastest of anybody at Kansas. If it wasn’t
for a fluke tire-change issue, he might
have been the one celebrating the end
of his misfortune there.
That was just about the only lament
Gibbs had Saturday night.
“The Gibbs cars are better than everybody pretty much everywhere,”
said Brad Keselowski, who has given
Penske Racing a pair of victories Las
Vegas and Talladega. “I think that’s
pretty obvious.”
Gibbs knows something about domi-
nance, of course. He led the Washington Redskins to three Super Bowl
victories and a bunch of other playoff
appearances during his NFL coaching
career.
This feels like uncharted territory,
though.
Busch has led a season-high 679 laps
while winning three times, not including his win in the second qualifying
duel at Daytona. Carl Edwards has led
the second most laps with 626, and he
won back-to-back races at Bristol and
Richmond. Hamlin won the Sprint Unlimited before his Daytona 500 victory.
Kenseth may be searching for his
first win, but he’s led the fifth most laps
of anybody.
“I’m happy for Kyle and them,”
Kenseth said Saturday night, after starting right alongside Busch on the final
restart. “I thought we were as good as
the 18 if we could have had position.”

Colts give former
college star Golson
chance to shine
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Everett Golson still has
a chance to play pro football.
And after everything the former college star has
been through the past few years that will have to
suffice for the moment.
The former Notre Dame and Florida State quarterback, who wasn’t even invited to league’s annual
scouting combine in February, spent this weekend
auditioning at the Indianapolis Colts’ rookie minicamp.
“I’ve been so fortunate because I’ve seen different
philosophies, different approaches,” Golson said
Friday after arriving in town. “I think that will help
me here.”
Golson has plenty of life lessons to help him survive as a longshot to make an NFL roster.
Indianapolis didn’t draft the 6-foot, 199-pound
South Carolina native, didn’t even sign him as an
undrafted rookie. Instead, the Colts asked Golson
to come in for a tryout.

Whitko shuts out Wabash
By MARK PARKER
The Post & Mail
SOUTH WHITLEY —
Whitko’s Lady Wildcats sent
10 batters to the plate in the
bottom of the first inning,
scoring six runs on their way
to 10-0 five-inning win over
visiting Three Rivers Conference foe Wabash’s Lady
Apaches on a cold,wet Monday evening.
Wildcat pitcher Hanna
Yohe gave up only three hits
while pitching a completegame shutout for the Lady
Wildcats.
Whitko had no trouble
collecting hits in the bottom
of the first inning. Haley
Yohe drew a lead-off walk,
but was doubled up at second on a fielder’s choice hit
by her sister.
A double by Whitko shortstop Kennedy Krull scored
Hanna Yohe. A single by
Emily Hughes scored Krull.
Left fielder Andrea Snavely
drew a walk and with two
outs Reannon Hopkins singled, driving in Hughes. A
Shelby Martin single drove
in both Hopkins and Snavely.
Riley Insley beat out an infield hit to score Martin, giving Whitko a 6-0 lead after
the first inning.
The Lady Apaches best
shot at scoring came in the
top of the second inning.
A one-out double by Erica
King gave the visitors their
first base runner. Wabash
shortstop Katie Neuman
followed with a single that
moved King to third.
King tried to score on a
passed ball and was tagged
out by Wildcat catcher Shelby Martin. Two batters later
a Wabash strike out ended
the threat. The Lady Apaches would get one more base
runner in the top of the
third, but she was thrown
out trying to steal second.
In the bottom of the fourth
inning the Lady Wildcats
put the game away with
four more runs. Hanna Yohe
singled and Krull reached,
and both were driven in by
a long single from Whitney
Marsh. Marsh went to third
on two passed balls by Wabash and scored on a single
by Ellie Snep. A single by
Emmalee Duggins scored
Snep with the game’s final
run.

JV places fourth
at New Haven
By MARK PARKER
The Post & Mail
SOUTH WHITLEY —
Whitko’s Wildcat baseball
team played host to the Wabash Apaches on a cold, drizzly Monday evening. Whitko
put up six runs in the bottom
of the second inning on their
way to a 14-4, five-inning
win over the Three Rivers
Conference foe.
With baseballs being exchanged several times during each at-bat due to wet
conditions, both pitchers had
difficulties gripping the ball,
resulting in several batters
being hit by pitches and increasing tension between the
two teams as the game went
on.
Whitko’s Tanner Gaff provided the fireworks both on
the mound and at the plate.
Gaff scattered three hits over
the five innings, striking
out six Apache batters. Gaff
also walked eight including
several who were struck by
pitches.
After a scoreless first inning the Wildcats got on the
board in a big way in the bottom of the second.
With the bases full, Tanner
Gaff stroked a ball over the
fence for a grand slam home
run that scored Ryan Day,
River West and Landen Goff.
In the same inning, Drew
Bradford scored on a tworun home run by Hunter
Sroufe giving the Wildcats a
6-0 lead
The Apaches got two runs
back in the top of the third to
cut the Wildcat lead to 6-2.
In the bottom of the fourth
inning, with Goff and Bradford on base, Hunter Sroufe
doubled to score both Goff
and Bradford Sroufe, then
scored on a throwing error
by the Wabash shortstop.

Curry grabs
MVP, returns
in victory
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry is
adding a second straight MVP award to his recordsetting season.
A person with knowledge of the award says
Curry will be announced as the winner perhaps as
soon as Tuesday. The person spoke on condition
of anonymity because the NBA has not revealed
the winner.
With his unmatched long-range shooting and
slick ball-handling, Curry led the Warriors to an
NBA-record 73 wins in the regular season as both
he and his team somehow improved after he won
the MVP and led Golden State to its first championship in 40 years the previous season.
The honor comes as no surprise, as Curry has
been the front-runner since early in the season. The
only drama remaining is whether he will become
the first player ever to win the award unanimously.
Curry returned from a sprained right knee on
Monday and scored 40 points, including an NBArecord 17 in overtime, as the Warriors took a 3-1
lead in the series with a 132-125 victory over the
Portland Blazers. Curry had been out since he was
injured in Game 4 of the first-round series against
Houston.
“He’s the MVP, he’s a killer, he’s everything, all
the names, silent assassin, all that, to come out and
perform like he did tonight and get that MVP tomorrow,” teammate Marreese Speights said.
Curry led the league with 30.1 points per game
and shattered his own record for 3-pointers by
making 402.
