For council, Philip Hanley and Larry Zombie Project: DI students work to clean up the cemetery By James master Staff Writer BOURBON — Have you ever walked through a cemetery and noticed gravestones that were dirty, broken, misaligned, and maybe even vandalized? Well, there is a group of youths in Bourbon that is fixing that problem in their local cemeteries. The Zombie Project, a group of five or six local youths, are a part of Destination Imagination, Inc. Destination Imagination is a nonprofit organization that provides project-based educational programs to foster creativity and innovation in students. This is the third year for the project to work at maintaining cemeteries in the Bourbon area. Caitlyn Ihnen and Sidney Pflueger, 8th and 9th graders, have been with the project since the beginning. When asked how they decided on fixing up cemeteries, Pflueger explained that “we had a team member, before he quit our team, we were walking around here, saw a cemetery, and there were tilted stones and so he was like ‘let’s fix this’.” “Most teenagers are out there breaking stuff” Pflueger remarked about the project. “We’re not like that, we don’t want to be tied in with the people that Wattenbarger are returning republicans. Karen Heim is running as the incumbent unopposed republican for clerk-treasurer, while for council, Jean Rakich, a republican, runs along with Joel Samuelson, a libertarian. Lapaz has incumbent democrats Lorraine Dove and Roger Ecker running on the council.

You know a lot of things about cemeteries that people just normally know.” When asked why teenagers should join a project within Destination Imagination, Pflueger responded, “We actually learn real life problems in DI. It teaches you how to get along with people.” Destination Imagination serves also as a community outreach program designed to get teenagers involved with their community and with their community leaders. Lisa Eiser, DI Coordinator, talked a little about what the youths learn by maintaining the gravestones. “Watching them as we go through the cemetery and they see things destroyed, sometimes blatant destruction, it upsets them. They feel like they should be protecting their history,” Eiser went on to say, “They read articles to find out more about the cemeteries and about how some of the people passed away. They realize how important life is and not to take things for granted.” Saturday, July 25, was one See Zombie, page A2 MARSHALL COUNTY — The third annual Earthworks fundraiser Farm to Fork Dinner event and auction is taking place this September.

Haeck and Good theft cases progressing through courts ADA celebrates 25 years as law By rachael herBertVarchetto Staff Writer MARSHALL COUNTY — Sunday July 26 marked the twenty-fifth year since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. The ADA is a comprehensive piece of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and ensures that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else in America. the Act was modeled after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an act that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. In order to be under the protection of the ADA, a person must have a disability that is defined under the ADA. The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities substantially, someone that has a history or record of an impairment, or MARSHALL COUNTY — Court proceedings for two cases in Marshall County concerning theft are slowly making their way through the courts. Neal Haeck, who was the director of the Marshall County Highway Department, is facing an indictment for theft through a grand jury in 2012 and 2013. According to court records, Haeck “did knowingly or internationally exert unauthorized control over the property of Marshall County government, to wit: approximately $12,351.41” in an indictment charge from September of 2014. According to Marshall County Prosecutor Nelson Chipman, the case has been delayed as Haeck has changed lawyers. Haeck’s lawyers had 60 days from the change of lawyer to reach a plea deal by August 27. Chipman stated that if it is not set by that date, it will be set for trial. On the front of Michael Good, things are progressing similarly. Good was charged with By James master Staff Writer theft, a class D felony, concerning the sale of scrap materials for $9,017.12 from the property of Marshall County Solid Waste Management District, also known as the Recycling Depot. The theft is alleged to have occurred between January 1, 2012 and April 30, 2014. “Court records show that he has a plea deadline and status hearing for September 24. I expect some movement before then, but that’s the deadline that the court put on it for [the defense] to do something,” explained Chipman.

In Marshall County, there are three group homes, two in Bremen and on in Plymouth, ran by Cardinal Services of Indiana that provide disabled adults with assistance with daily living requirements. These adults live with other residents with similar abilities. The clients are encouraged to be selfsufficient and as independent as possible. Residents work, are active in the community, and participate in day programs offered by Cardinal Services. Cardinal Services operate fourteen homes in Indiana. “The people that we serve experienced better service” in regards to the ADA that was signed into law in 1990 says Marcie Arndt, adult services director for Cardinal Services in Marshall, Cass, and Fulton Counties.

Another benefit that was came from the ADA was the change in employment. The Americans with Disabilities Act “changed the face of employment since 1976” Arndt added. Many new programs for jobs were created, job coaches to help clients find jobs, vocational rehabilitation also help find jobs. All of these were in part due to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The disabled were not the only ones that benefited from the act. Businesses were also granted certain benefits including tax credits and deductions. According to ada.gov, to assist businesses with complying with the ADA, Section 44 of the IRS Code grants a tax credit for small businesses and Section 190 grants a tax deduction for all other businesses. Walgreens has employed their Retail Employees with Disabilities Initiative (REDI). REDI partners store managers with job coaches and employment candidates from community organizations and vocational rehabilitation agencies. Those that complete the four week program receive a “recommended for hire” status that is applicable beyond Walgreens. Marshall-Starke Development Center is a not-for-profit organization that provides rehabilitative, educational and vocational services to developmentally disabled individuals. They have a program called Community Employment Services. According to their website they currently serve 64 individuals, 27 of them being from Marshall County. The average number of hours worked per week was 29 while the hourly wage was on average $9.12. Comittee plans ‘Heroin is Here’ event By James master Staff Writer MARSHALL COUNTY — The Marshall County Committee for a Drug and Tobacco Free Indiana met for a special meeting July 28. There were two purposes for the meeting. The first was to iron out the details for the event they are organizing called Heroin is Here. Heroin is Here promotes the awareness of the growing threat of heroin in Northern Indiana. It will take place on Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Activities include guest speaker Dr. Mann Spitler, a representative from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), a panel for questions and answers, and other specialists to talk about the deadly con- sequences of heroin and other substance addictions. This is a free event that will be held at Plymouth Wesleyan Church. The other purpose for meeting was about whether or not the committee would have a demonstration at the Farmers Market at the end of August. The demonstration would be to place a pair of fatal vision goggles on children and have them drive through a test with a golf cart. The purpose of this demonstration would be to show the effect of drugs and alcohol when driving. After talking about different options and venues for this event, they settled on putting the demonstration at the Haunted Grounds event held by the Plymouth Parks Department this October.

Theft, from front He does not expect the case to go to trial, but does expect it to be resolved soon. “We’re frustrated with what they are doing right now,” he explained of the Haeck case. “Switching lawyers midstream delays the case unnecessarily. We are prepared to try it if they want to try it.” Grand jury proceedings are more involved than normal court cases. The state presents evidence in a secret proceeding to six individuals who were chosen from a pool of 18 who decide if the person on trial should be charged. Those that can testify are notified that the do have the right to decline based on the fifth amendment. Nelson could say no more concerning the cases, as he is bound legally from revealing anything that goes on during the grand jury proceedings until a decision is made. Both men are presumed innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of law. Zombie, from front of the public work days.

Provide a differentiated curriculum that responds to the academic needs of high ability students a.) Objective 1- Assess the overall curriculum quality for high ability students using the NAGC Curriculum Division’s rubric for assessing award winning curriculum. b.) Objective 2- Teachers will receive training on differentiated instruction for high ability learners Identification Process Nomination and Screening Procedures All students not previously identified are screened for the high ability program at John Glenn School Corporation as described below for the specific grade levels. Any student moving into the district will be assessed at that time. Other students also may be assessed on appeal. Nominations are accepted by teachers, parents, and students and will be reviewed and screened in a timely fashion. The same procedure shall be used as outlined below. Grades K-6 Step One: The high ability coordinator administers the OLSAT and TOMAGS to all students grades K, 3, 6. Step Two: Students K-2 participate in mClass while students 3-6 participate in Acuity. Any students scoring at or above the 80th percentile will be given Terra Nova. Step Three: All results are turned in to the high ability coordinator who norms the scores and records them on student profile sheets. Step Four: Identification committee and high ability coordinator meet and review student profiles. Any student receiving a score at or above the 95th percentile on OLSAT, TOMAGS, and/ or Terra Nova, in Language Arts, Math, or both, will be identified as High Ability for that domain. Step Five: Students falling within the standard error of measure for these tests will have their teachers observe and rate students using SIGS. The scores will be used to reflect a norm of the John Glenn School Corporation. . If their information is strong enough, the student may be identified. Step Six: Parents are notified of their child’s evaluations and invited to the high ability or general education program. If they chose to participate in the high ability program a parent meeting is arranged with the coordinator to review the high ability programs and answer questions the parents may have in regards to the high ability program. Step Seven: School is notified of students who will be participating in the high ability program. Grades 7-12 Students will be grouped in clusters with students of like abilities. They will participate in honors classes and be highly encouraged to participate in AP classes in grades 9-12. A need assessment will determine appropriate general education classroom accommodations for students. Such accommodations may be but are not limited to: compacting, acceleration, or enrichment. Transferring to John Glenn The John Glenn School Corporation no longer charges a transfer tuition fee for out of district students, and is now accepting out of district transfer students. An out-of-district transfer form may be found at www.jgsc.k12.in.us Football Equipment pick up will be Aug. 4 at Urey from 3-4:30 p.m. The first practice will be Aug. 10 from 3-5:30 p.m. at Urey.

All acts of bullying should be reported to a staff member with whom the student feels comfortable talking. Reports of bullying will then be relayed to the Principal (or his/her designee) for investigation. The parents of both students will be contacted if it is appropriate. Students will be educated on the effects and consequences bullying has on all parties involved. The staff at UMS helps limit bullying by being a presence in the hallway between classes, before school, and after school.

Reed Street • North Liberty, IN 46554 Back to School Page A6 Pilot News • Friday, July 31, 2015 John Glenn School Corporation Soccer complex and other changes On July 7, 2015, the John Glenn School Corporation voted unanimously (7-0) to proceed with the construction of the soccer complex on high school grounds. In the next week or so, construction will begin across Georgia Street on the west side of the high school where three new football/soccer practice fields will go. The practice fields will be located directly south of the Methodist Church. Once the timber on the land is cleared, excavation, irrigation and seeding will commence. Geyer Construction, out of Lakeville, will handle the work for the practice fields for $422,345. It will be completed within 90 days. Excavation, irrigation and seeding of the actual soccer playing field, which will be located where the current football practice field lies, will begin as soon as the Falcons’ high school football season concludes in the fall. Construction of restrooms, a concession stand and press box as well as installation of a scoreboard, bleachers and lights will begin in the spring/summer of 2016. The proposed cost of the second phase is estimated at around $500,000, making the entire cost of the soccer complex project near $1 million. Renovation on the high school track is almost completed. The old track was ground down about 12 -13” and compacted to create a new base; then 4” of new asphalt was added on top. A rubber coating will be added soon, along with freshly painted lines. Parking lots at all four buildings have been refreshed with newly painted lines. A new community tennis league has been started, utilizing the recently updated tennis courts. This past year, the high school tennis courts were completely refurbished and lighting was added. This past year, the visitors’ bleachers on the high school football field were replaced to include all new aluminum benches and an updated press box. New stage lighting has been added in the John Glenn High School Auditorium; the Project Lead the Way classroom has been updated; a new 900 square foot classroom has been created to serve the ever-growing Agriculture class; and the gymnasium has been painted to reflect the change in athletic conferences from the NSC (which no longer exists) to the NIC (Northern Indiana Conference). A new broadcasting studio has been built at the high school to provide a new Communications curriculum. Tricia Sloma, of WNDU-Channel 16, recently visited John Glenn High School’s new Broadcasting studio to offer advice and helpful tips to the Communications students. Ms. Sloma commented that she was impressed with the studio and the modern equipment being utilized in the studio. Students enrolled in the Communications class will be producing a live broadcast daily as part of their curriculum.

Walkerton Elementary recently saw some much-needed repairs with repaving and striping to the west and north parking lots, giving the school a fresh, new look. A pavilion was added to the playground this past school year as part of an Eagle Scout project by Coda Hensley. North Liberty Elementary will welcome two new teachers and John Glenn High School will be adding new teachers in Social Studies (two), English, and Special Education, as well as a new secretary.

MCCO announces concert schedule PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Church Orchestra (MCCO) is in the full swing of its summer schedule and recently played at the Hamlet United Methodist Church. The orchestra is under the direction of Don Harness of Plymouth. The group enjoys playing at Hamlet because of the great reception from the church people and the wonderful acoustics in the church building. During the concert the MCCO played a variety of classical, gospel, contemporary and patriotic music. The audience was particularly moved by the rousing march of the “Stars and Stripes Forever” and stood during Sousa March. They remained standing for the conclusion of the concert while the orchestra played the emotional “God Bless America”. The MCCO is always accepting new members. The orchestra is made up of volunteer musicians of various ages and musical abilities. The MCCO has received a $400 grant from the Marshall County Community Foundation to purchase music for the “Celebrations at Lincoln Center” concert, which will educate the audience about the history of Indiana, its writings and its music. Harness is in the process of planning this concert for June 2016. He invites any instrumental musician to join the present MCCO group for this spectacular event. Vocalists, narrators and orators will also be needed. For more information call Harness at 574-936-7357. Upcoming MCCO concerts include: Saturday, Aug. 8, 12 p.m. — Faith Baptist Church Thursday, Aug. 13, 7 p.m. — Fairfield Garden Courts Friday, Sept. 4, 7 p.m. — Blueberry Festival/Jefferson Stage Friday, Sept. 11, 6:30 p.m. — River Park Square/ Community Wide Concert sponsored by The Well Saturday, Sept. 12, 9 a.m. — Plymouth Farmers’ Market Saturday, Oct. 31, 7 p.m. — Marshall County Historical Museum Thursday and Friday, Nov. 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. Concert & Dessert/Christos’ Banquet Center When it comes to your job, you’re a crackerjack. You have quite the reputation for doing your best, in fact, which is why colleagues come to you for help. Nobody busts a move like you: smooth, efficient and done right. Yep, when it comes to your job, you can’t be beat. Except when you can. Except when everything points somewhere else and you’re ripped off-track, as in the new novel “The Breaking Point” by Jefferson Bass. Within the philanthropic world, Richard Janus was known for his speed. When tragedy occurred anywhere in the world, before most governmental entities could even get organized, Janus was on the scene aboard his private jet filled with water, first aid, and other supplies. Earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flood, it didn’t matter; Janus’ humanitarian efforts helped save lives. It was therefore a shock to his supporters and donors when Janus lost his. The fireball was, by all accounts, huge: that’s what happens when a Citation jet slams into the side of a mountain near San Diego at 400 miles an hour. There wasn’t much of Richard Janus left to identify, but the FBI needed the best forensic expert they could hire to try. They contacted Dr. Bill Brockton. As a leader in forensic anthropology and the founder of the U of Tennessee’s Body Farm, Brockton was well-known for his expertise in identifying bodies and determining time of death. The Janus case, however — and Brockton The Bookworm Sez By Terri Schlichenmeyer hesitated to call it a “case,” since it seemed to have been an accident — would almost bust his chops. Judging by a nearly full set of teeth found at the site, Janus had been killed by the crash; a second set of teeth momentarily sidelined the investigation, but were explained by a bizarre coincidence. Janus, during his nighttime flight, had apparently missed a mountain and died for his mistake. But then reports surfaced that Brockton had missed an important dental clue, and the media howled… Brockton was used to that. Media loved their scandals, after all, but the onslaught in California and new allegations back home were almost unbearable — especially when another, more deadly bombshell entered his life. Having read quite a number of the Body Farm novels, I have to say that I was surprised by “The Breaking Point.” Authors Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bill Bass (who write together under this collective pseudonym) step back in time here to give fans a bit of history for their hero, Brockton, in a twist that takes a little getting used to but turns out to be rich in story. Not only is that a bonus for anyone who’s familiar with this smart, authentic (Bass was the creator of the “The Breaking Point” by Jefferson Bass c.2015, William Morrow $26.99 / $33.50 Canada, 384 pages real-life Body Farm) investigator, but it also makes this book a great place for new fans to start the series. Bursting with red herrings and creepy bad guys (and a hint of the next book, perhaps?), this mysterythriller is a whodunit lover’s dream. Be warned though: start a novel like “The Breaking Point,” and it could crack your schedule. Terri Schlichenmeyer of The Bookworm Sez, LLC is based out of LaCrosse, Wis.

Carpenter went 4 for 5 with two home runs and four RBIs against the Rockies Thursday. RED SOX 8, WHITE SOX 2 BOSTON (AP) — Xander Bogaerts and David Ortiz each had three hits and Boston beat Chris Sale, snapping Chicago’s seven-game winning streak. Knuckleballer Steven Wright (4-4) pitched seven effective innings in Boston’s third win in 15 games. Brock Holt had a two-run single in a four-run sixth. Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer in the first for the White Sox, who head home for a weekend series against the Yankees after a 7-1 road trip moved them into contention for an AL wild-card spot. The first five batters reached in Boston’s four-run sixth before Sale (9-6) was lifted. He allowed seven runs and 12 hits in his worst start since April. CUBS 5, BREWERS 2 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Anthony Rizzo hit a threerun homer with two out in the eighth inning, and Chicago beat Milwaukee. The Cubs won for the third time in four games since they were swept in a weekend series against lowly Philadelphia. Rizzo finished with three hits and Dexter Fowler went 2 for 4. Jimmy Nelson pitched seven innings of two-hit ball for Milwaukee, but Chicago rallied in the eighth. Addison Russell and Fowler singled against Jeremy Jeffress before Will Smith (4-2) came in. Smith retired his first two batters, but Rizzo connected for his 18th homer to give the Cubs a 3-2 lead. TIGERS 9, ORIOLES 8 BALTIMORE (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes homered and drove in three runs and Detroit beat Baltimore after shifting into rebuilding mode by trading two of their best pitchers. Mired in fourth place in the AL Central, Detroit dealt starter David Price to Toronto and closer Joakim Soria to Pittsburgh the day before the non-waiver trade deadline. General manager Dave Dombrowski conceded, “I would much rather be acquiring than I would be trading. But it’s just where we are at this point.” After an active day of dealing, the Tigers kept busy on the bases. Detroit finished with 16 hits, including three apiece by Cespedes, Ian Kinsler and Jose Iglesias. The Tigers led 7-0 in the fourth inning and 9-2 in the sixth before surviving Baltimore’s comeback bid. as St. Louis beat Colorado. Carpenter went 4 for 5 with four RBIs after moving back to the leadoff spot. It was his first career multihomer game and he has a career-high 12 home runs this season. Jhonny Peralta’s two-run single off Rockies closer John Axford tied the game at 8-all and Garcia’s walk scored Kolten Wong as the Cardinals recorded their seventh walkoff win of the season. Axford (3-5) took his third loss in his last four outings. Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez gave up five runs on 10 hits in five innings. Carlos Villanueva (4-3) earned the win. Luke Gregerson (4-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.

AP’s testing and accused AP Investigation: Filthy Rio water a threat at 2016 Olympics RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The waters where Olympians will compete in swimming and boating events next summer in South America’s first games are rife with human sewage and present a serious health risk for athletes, an Associated Press investigation has found. The AP analysis of water quality revealed dangerously high levels of viruses and bacteria from sewage in venues where athletes will compete in water sports. Nevertheless, an Olympic official said Thursday there are no plans to monitor for viruses, which many experts consider the biggest problem. In the first independent comprehensive testing for both viruses and bacteria at the Olympic sites, the AP conducted four rounds of tests starting in March. The results have alarmed international experts and dismayed competitors training in Rio, some of whom have already fallen ill with fevers, vomit- CHICAGO (AP) — Ohio State will face one of its toughest tests of the season without its best defensive player and three talented receivers. The Buckeyes suspended All-America defensive end Joey Bosa, receiver Corey Smith and H-backs Jalin Marshall and Dontre Wilson for their opening game at Virginia Tech because of unspecified violation of athletic department policies. “Violation of team policies,” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said Thursday at Big Ten media days. “That’s as far as I’ll go.” Meyer did say the violations had nothing to do with players breaking any laws. He said he has known for a while that the suspensions were coming and that he is “100 percent supportive” of the policies. Ohio State opens its season Labor Day night in Blacksburg, Virginia, looking to avenge a 35-21 loss to the Hokies. The Buckeyes have won 13 straight since. “We’re pushing forward,” Meyer said. “We’re playing an extremely talented team on the road in a tough environment.” Bosa had 13 1/2 sacks as a sophomore and enters his junior year as one of the top NFL prospects in college football. Meyer said the Buckeyes will look toward sophomore Jalyn Holmes and redshirt freshmen Sam Hubbard and Darius Slade to help pick up the slack for Bosa. Marshall was second on the team in receptions as a freshman with 38 and was also the team’s best punt returner. Wilson and Smith combined for 41 catches for 555 yards. The Buckeyes were ranked No. 1 in the preseason coaches’ poll released Thursday and are likely to be top-ranked in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 when it is released Aug. 23. Ohio State brings back most of its key players from last year’s team, which bounced back from a September loss to the Hokies in Columbus to win the first College Football Playoff. Bosa might be the best of the Buckeyes. He had 21 tackles for loss last season, including a game-ending sack in overtime against Penn State. Marshall was a versatile playmaker the Buckeyes lined up all over the field, including at quarterback at times. Wilson, a junior, plays a similar role for Ohio State. A foot injury against Michigan State in November cut his season short and kept him out of spring practice. Smith, a senior, is in his second season with Ohio State after transferring from junior college. “This is just another obstacle,” linebacker Joshua Perry said. “As we say in the building, this is just another E we’ve got to respond to.” Perry said E is for event. The Buckeyes will likely have a new addition at H-Back when preseason practice starts in August. Braxton Miller has said he will switch from quarterback to receiver, which could help make up for the losses there. Meyer said the transition of Miller to receiver was a plan B that’s been in the works for about a month and a half. The coach he will personally work with Miller when preseason practice starts before it the staff determines the best way to use the two-time Big Ten player of the year. “He’s one of the best athletes I’ve ever coached,” Meyer said. “He’s got an incredible first step.

In June, it was slightly above the limit. The agency did not mention that the government’s own data shows that on eight occasions this year, most recently on June 25, the waters in Copacabana Beach where long-distance swim events will be held spiked above the legal bacteria limits — considered unsafe for bathers. Mario Moscatelli, a biologist who has spent 20 years lobbying for a cleanup of Rio’s waterways, said the state environmental agency was trying to divert attention from the serious pollution problem affecting water. “For years now we’ve seen the flow of raw sewage, which contains fecal coliforms and other bacteria, viruses, protozoa and an infinite number of pathogenic microorganisms that can cause everything from ringworm to hepatitis,” Moscatelli said. Dr. Richard Budgett, medical director for the International Olympic Committee, said after seeing the AP findings that IOC and Brazilian authorities would stick to their program of testing only for bacteria to determine whether the water is safe, as that is the accepted norm globally. “We’ve had reassuranc- es from the World Health Organization and others that there is no significant risk to athlete health,” he told the AP on the sidelines of an IOC meeting in Malaysia. WHO didn’t respond to repeated emailed and phoned requests for comment. Budgett’s advice for athletes who will compete in the virus-laden waters? “Washing your hands is an extremely important part of reducing the risk of infection of any sort,” he said. Water experts say such safeguards aren’t enough to protect athletes who get drenched during competitions and have an almost certain chance of being infected by the viruses entering their mouths, nose, cuts on skin or any opening of the body. Brazilian authorities had pledged that a major overhaul of the city’s waterways would be among the Olympics’ most significant legacies. But the stench of raw sewage still greets travelers arriving at Rio’s international airport. Prime beaches remain deserted because the surf is thick with putrid sludge, and periodic die-offs leave the Olympic lake littered with rotting fish. More than 10,000 athletes hailing from over 200 countries are expected to compete in the Aug. 5-21, 2016, games. Nearly 1,400 of them will come into contact with waters contaminated by rampant sewage pollution as they sail in the Guanabara Bay; swim off of Copacabana Beach; and canoe and row on the brackish waters of the Rodrigo de Freitas Lake. Starting next week, hundreds of athletes will take to the waters in Olympic trial events. The AP’s tests over five months found not one venue fit for swimming or boating, according to international experts, who say it’s too late for a cleanup. “What you have there is basically raw sewage,” said John Griffith, a marine biologist at the independent Southern California Coastal Water Research Project. Griffith examined the protocols, methodology and results of the AP tests. “It’s all the water from the toilets and the showers and whatever people put down their sinks, all mixed up, and it’s going out into the beach waters.” In the U.S., Griffith said, areas with such levels of contamination “would be shut down immediately.” Many water and health experts in the U.S. and Europe are pushing regulatory agencies to include viral testing in determining water quality. But Leonardo Daemon, coordinator of water quality monitoring for Rio state’s environmental agency, said Brazilian regulations are based on bacteria levels. “What would be the standard that should be followed for the quantity of virus? Because the presence or absence of virus in the water ... needs to have a standard, a limit,” he said. Spilki, the Brazilian virologist, carried out four rounds of viral and bacterial water testing for the AP, collecting samples at three Olympic sites. His testing looked for three different types of human adenovirus that are typical “markers” of human sewage in Brazil. In addition, he tested for enteroviruses, the most common cause of upper respiratory tract infections in the young, which can also lead to brain and heart ailments. He also tested for rotavirus, the main cause of gastroenteritis globally. The test results consistently found high counts of active and infectious human adenoviruses, which cause explosive diarrhea, violent vomiting, respiratory trouble and other illnesses. The concentrations of the human adenoviruses were roughly equivalent to that seen in raw sewage. IOC considers China a safer, more dependable choice. “We’ve heard the sentiment that if you do not select Almaty, then you, the IOC, can ‘sleep well at night’ for the next seven years,” Massimov said. “I find that a curious statement.” Massimov said the IOC has been “brave” in the past, including by challenging apartheid in South Africa, going to Moscow for the 1980 Games at the height of the Cold War and giving the games to Beijing in 2008. “In each case, you were right,” he said. “So today, we ask you to have faith in us, to have faith in Kazakhstan. Our request is not simply based on blind faith. It is based on facts, the facts that you need to make an historic decision — historic not only for Kazakhstan, but for the Olympic Movement as well.” Beijing’s presentation played much less on emotion and sought mainly to reinforce the pitch that China can be counted on to deliver, as it did for the IOC in 2008. “Hosting the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing will encourage 300 million Chinese, particularly the country’s young people, to participate in ice and snow sports,” Vice Premier Liu Yandong said.

Page B3 Indiana historic low voter turnout and need for reform INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Republican Chairman Jeff Cardwell journeyed to El Salvador last February as an e l e c t i o n observer and was moved when he saw thousands of folks spend days walking to polling places, waiting By hours in line B rian Howey to vote. When the election concluded the International Institute for Democratic and Electoral Assistance reported just under 50 percent voted. He returned to the Hoosier state, where in the 2014 elections just 27.7 percent voted, one of the worst rates in the nation. A New York Times analysis of that election using different criterion rated Indiana 50th. “Everybody is concerned about low voter turnout,” Cardwell said. “It’s not a political issue, it’s an American issue. We have a great country and we need to increase voter turnout.” The concept of stewardship means leaving things in better shape than you found them. For many in the current generation of political and policy leadership in Indiana, they’ve witnessed a steep decline in voter participation. It is time that Indiana’s public servants, from Gov. Mike Pence down to the 150 members of the General Assembly, address our democracy in atrophy. What are the solutions? Some would be easy. Our 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. voting day is the shortest in the nation. Expanding it to 8 p.m. is a nobrainer and gives working folks a bigger window to vote. Indiana shuts down its over registration 29 days before the election, when people are just beginning to pay attention to campaigns. States with Election Day or on-site registration see turnouts 5 to 7 percent higher, according to a University of Florida researcher. Eighteen-year-old voters could automatically be registered. And then there are the maps. Of the 435 U.S. House seats, 56 are considered competitive, but not one is in Indiana. There y ike oys were 54 seats in the Indiana General Assembly that were unopposed in 2014. And in 2012, while President Obama received 44 percent of the vote in Indiana, Hoosiers elected ilot ews onsultant seven Republicans and two Democrats to the U.S. House, 40 Republicans to the Indiana Senate compared to 10 Democrats, and 71 Republicans to the Indiana House, compared to 29 Democrats. As you can see, the percentages are distorted. In 2011, House and Senate Republicans drew the new Congressional and legislative maps adhering to benchmarks advocated by former Secretary of State Todd Rokita. The new districts were compact, kept communities of interest together, for the most part respected county and school district lines, and “nested” two House seats in one Senate seat. But the maps were politically generated, and while the Washington Post reported that Indiana and Nevada had the least “gerrymandered” maps, the outcomes are still out of whack. In the April Howey Politics Indiana Poll conducted by Bellwether Research’s Christine Matthews, 32 percent identified as Republican, 29 percent Democrats (those numbers rose to 41 percent Republican with leaners and 36 percent Democrats with leaners), while 24 percent described themselves as independent. From the perspective of Tom Sugar, a former campaign manager, communications director and chief of staff to Gov./Sen. Evan Bayh, Indiana should opt for the Iowa system which uses an independent redistricting commission that creates maps without the partisan data that Indiana used in 2011, and Democrats used in 2001 and 1991 (both parties have played this game). “The outcomes are decided well in advance,” said Sugar. “When you have unopposed candidates running, that removes that choice. That removes the motivation that ABOVE: This photo is pro- someone has to get involved in the process.” moting the 1941 Paramount Sugar has forged a “No Politics Plan” that is seeking an picture “Louisiana Purchase” independent redistricting commission in Indiana. “We have with Raymond Walburn, left, to structurally reform the system,” Sugar said.

The howey PoliTical rePorT A famous actor born in . . . Plymouth, Indiana? Yup! I bet you don’t know who that would be — but if you do know who it is — HOORAY for you. You would have to be just a tad older than (ahem) 85 to maybe remember seeing him in silent films and then “talkies”. His name? Oh yeah his name. Now let’s see u m m m now I’ve got it — it is none other than the 5-foot-10 Raymond Walburn. Yup, Raymond was born right here in good old Plymouth, Indiana on Sept. 9, 1887. Wow! That’s more than a couple of months ago. Nonetheless a famous actor WAS born in Plymouth. What? You want to know more about Raymond Walburn? OK here we go: YOU ASKED FOR IT! Oh, by the way in doing the research of Raymond it didn’t give much information about his father or for that matter not much about his mother or his early life. Raymond did attend old Washington school and he was in the class of 1905 but doing the research didn’t show where he graduated. The reason might be was he moved to Oakland, Calif. with his actress mother when he was 18 and he might have moved before graduation. Raymond was a character actor and is one of those actors whose name may have slipped through the memory cracks over time, but whose valued contribution to ‘30s and ‘40s comedy films certainly warrants a reminder to us — especially since he is from Plymouth. He began his stage debut in Oakland where he appeared in Shakespeare’s Macbeth where he made a whopping $5 per week. He immediately established himself as a comic actor when he inadvertently “flubbed” his line which read “Fillet of a fenny snake” but when he gave his line it came out as: “Fillet of a funny snake”. The crowd laughed and laughed. A comic character actor was born The following year, Raymond was acting in stock theater in San Francisco, where the old adage “the show must go on” was tested to the utmost when one of his performances was interrupted by the 1906 earthquake. In 1911, (Ray would have been 24 years old) he made his Broadway bow in the play “Greyhound” which was a flop, as were Raymond’s subsequent New York appearances over the next five years. But with patience, perseverance and sweet oil — he finally managed to latch onto a hit when he was cast in the long-running “Come Out of the Kitchen”. Raymond’s acting career was interrupted by World War I when he served his country in the U.S. heavy artillery corps from 1919 to 1922. Following his World War I service, he hit his stride as a Broadway laugh getter and knee slapper starring in the original production of George Kelly’s “The Show Off”. In 1928, now 27 years old, he took a stab at the movies and then in 1934 Walburn whose trademark portrayed the bombastic, stuffed shirt, bulgy eyes, snub nose, arched brows a trimmed mustache and lovable fraud characterizations, Raymond somewhat resembles the“Mr. Monopoly” character. His acting ability became a favorite of the famous directors Frank Capra and Preston Sturges he then became a full-time actor. In 1949 he was given an opportunity to star in Monogram’s movie series “Henry”. He was in movies with stars like — Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Harold Lloyd. Now 75 Raymond revived his Broadway career in 1962 when he was persuaded by producer Harold Prince to play Erronious with Zero Mostel in “A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum”. RAYMOND WALBURN TRIVIA While playing the juvenile lead in the play “Come Out of the Kitchen” starring Ruth Chatterton, Walburn was called to military duty. He joined the heavy artillery corps where he trained at Fort Hamilton, N.Y. and, during his first leave, returned to the theater to visit. The management, in a spurt of patriotism, allowed him to play his old part in uniform that night. His first Broadway show “The Greyhound” (1912) was deemed a huge hit but its run was cut short by the “Titanic” disaster. Raymond Walburn made 87 pictures in 21 years. Not bad for a fellow from a Plymouth, Indiana is it? Following the death of his first wife Gertrude (affectionately known as Trudy), he more or less retired, but found happiness again when he married a family friend, Jane Davis.

Fun & Advice Pilot News • Friday, July 31, 2015 Page B5 Some extra nutritional support Dustin BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D. When the Portland Thorns’ star player, Tobin Heath, isn’t scoring goals for the U.S. World Cup Champion Women’s Soccer League team, she and other women soccer players across the U.S. and Canada are trying to figure out how to supplement their income. While playing on the national team, you earn a living wage, but back on a local team, salaries run between $6,000 and $30,000 per season. Clearly, for WSL members, supplemental income can mean the difference between being able to play the sport they love or not. And the same may be true for supple- Blondie mental vitamins. The little extra nutritional support they provide can keep you in the game and help you stay active and healthy in the face of less than perfect diets. According to the Cleveland Clinic, four supplements are key to keeping you in top form, when taken in combination with ditching the Five Food Felons (sugar- and syrup-added foods, processed grains, and red and processed meats) and while opting for five to nine serv- ings of produce daily, lean protein, and 100 percent whole grains. Multivitamins with minerals. Multivites help compensate for nutrient-poor food, and they help counter digestive woes that limit absorption of nutrients. Omega-3 fatty acids. Both algal oil and fish oil containing DHA (900 mg of DHA is what you want daily) can help protect your joints, eyes and brain. Vitamin D-3. Get your levels checked — in the meantime take 2,000 IU daily. Probiotics. Look for probiotics containing a spore form of bacillus coagulans GBI30, 6086 and/or lactobacillus GG. Chuckle of the day... Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? Boyfriend reveals that his ‘soul mate’ died years ago DEAR ABBY: I have been close to my best friend for three years. A year ago we decided to date. We have a wonderful relationship on almost every level. The only issue I have is that he’s reluctant to open up about his past. He is a very private person, and I know it’s because of his upbringing. This has sparked many debates between us that have ended less than pleasantly. Recently, he did open up, and when he did, he dropped a bomb. He asked me if I believed in soul mates, and I said By Jeanne PhilliPs yes. Then he told me about how in his past there was a girl he loved very much. Sadly, she died. He said he sees this girl as his soul mate, but he doesn’t think it lessens any of his love for me. This was the first time he opened up to me. Now that it has sunk in, I’m hurt. I already have self-confidence issues, and I worry that since I am not her, I’m not enough. I can’t live up to a dead woman. I always thought I could change his closed ways, but now, knowing the cause, I fear there is nothing I can do to help him. Can someone have two soul mates? — NOT HIS SOUL MATE DEAR NOT HIS SOUL MATE: Please do not allow your self-confidence issues to ruin Dear Abby your relationship, because from where I sit, it appears you’re looking for a way to push this man away. So what if he had a romance that ended tragically? She’s dead — gone! And you’re very much alive. Stop competing with her. He doesn’t need your help; he needs someone who will accept him the way he is and love him for it. ****** DEAR ABBY: I am the treasurer for my high school’s upcoming 50th reunion. My senior class was large — more than 550 students. My problem is, 280 students have not responded to our monthly emails or newsletters. It takes a lot of time and effort to put on a reunion. We have been working on it for two years. I realize some classmates hated their senior year. Not all of us had a perfect time. But would you remind people that a simple yes or no works well? Frankly, I don’t know why anyone would say no, unless medical or financial issues prevented them from attending. Can you comment? — READY FOR THE REUNION DEAR READY: Yes. There may be other reasons why some graduates don’t wish to attend their high school reunion. They live far away, or there is no one they particularly want to see. Rather than work yourself into a lather, in your next communication to the graduates, specify that only those who have responded to the invitation can be accommodated “because the committee is making arrangements for which they need an exact head count.” Subscribe To Marshall County’s Community News Source today!

Michigan Downtown Plymouth Couch theater — DVD previews By Sam Struckhoff DOG OF THE WEEK “Hot Pursuit” (PG-13) — This no-laugh riot gives us something original by taking the Bickering Buddies on the Run formula, heading it with two likable female talents, and then somehow making it SO ANNOYING. Cooper (Reese Witherspoon) is an uptight Nervous Nelly cop placed in charge of Daniella (Sofia Vergara), the vivacious wife of a drug kingpin, who’s set to testify at an upcoming big-deal court case. Wacky circumstances make the Shrill Couple the target of both cops and gangsters as they try to get to Dallas alive. Witherspoon is short and Vergara has a funny accent. That’s the joke that gets run into the ground over a very brief run-time. When the movie isn’t polishing that bit of comedy gold, there’s usually a great deal of shrieking, tired cliches and humorless chatter to pass the time. PICKS OF THE WEEK “Match” (R) — Patrick Stewart runs the screen as Tobi Powell, a Juilliard dance instructor with a big personality layered over a more complicated man. He’s asked for an interview by Lisa (Carla Gugino), who is writing her dissertation about the 1960s dance scene in New York. Lisa’s husband, Mike (Matthew Lillard), also comes along from Seattle, and through his involvement it seems there might be some other motive behind the interview. As the questions probe deeper into Tobi’s personal past, conflict shakes the dynamic between the three characters. While the movie has some issues associated with stage-to-movie adaptations, it’s nothing that overshadows the performances. **** “I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story” (PG) — For more than 45 years, Carroll Spinney has been the life behind the felt of some of the world’s favorite children’s characters. This documentary goes into the career and mindset of the man who continues to suit up and play Big Bird into his 80s. The story touches on the early days of Jim Henson and the Muppets, Spinney’s rough early years and the personal doubts that almost pushed him out when he was just getting started. It shows how Spinney is the soul inside Big Bird’s gentle, curious, huggable nature. It’s a touching, well-made tribute that gets you right in the childhood. **** “Patch Town” (NR) — A worker in a comedically bleak factory, Jon (Rob Ramsay) looks like a Cabbage Patch doll grown to uncomfortable adulthood — curly puff hair, plump cheeks, baby-angel eyes with a splash of innocent cheerfulness. Unfortunately, he works on an assembly line, pulling goocovered babies out of cabbages, then sending them off to be given as living dolls. Jon comes to the earth-shattering realization that he’s a discarded doll, and decides to escape the factory and seek out the girl who was once his “Mommy,” but has now grown up. This bizarre and unexpected darkish comedy is well worth checking out. TV RELEASES “WWE: Very Best of Nitro Vol. 3” “Haikyu!!

Pilot News • Friday, July 31, 2015 HINTS FROM HELOISE Water Safety for Kids Dear Readers: It’s water time for summertime! You and yours may be swimming, playing, floating and wading in a pool, lake, river, ocean, water park or pond. Water is inviting this time of year, but can also be dangerous in some instances. Please read through the following hints so you or someone you love DOESN’T become a sad statistic. Statistically, a child under the age of 4 has a higher probability of dying by drowning because of an accident than any other unintentional way. --DO swim in pairs. DON’T let anyone (especially children) swim alone. --DO NOT leave children alone in or around water. Ever! Even for 30 seconds! --Teach children to swim. Heloise Here: At a minimum, teach them to float on their back. If they ever get into trouble, tell them float! --DON’T check email, text or do other distracting tasks while watching children! DO, however, have a phone close in case of emergency. --If a child is missing, look in the water first! Don’t wait! My thanks to The American Red Cross, PoolSafely.gov and SafeKids.org for these combined Safe Hints for Safe Swimming. I added one or two of mine also. -- Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: This is regarding the hint about buying postcards to use for a photo album. (Heloise here: To use as dividers in the al- Classifieds 325 Garage Sales bum.) While traveling, before taking pictures daily or visiting a new place, I take a photo on my smartphone. I photograph a sign, building or some landmark that shows where we are, what city, country, etc. When I review my photos or print them out, I have a guide as to where or what we were doing. -- Kay, sent via email DONATE CARRIER Dear Heloise: My parents’ cat died of old age, and they didn’t want another cat right away because they are moving. They didn’t know what to do with the pet carrier. I called my veterinarian’s office to see if they could use it. They gladly took it and said it’s nice to have extras when a client doesn’t have one or needs to borrow one. -- Bianca from California, via email A purr-fect hint! Readers, if you have carriers, beds, blankets, leashes, etc., that are no longer needed, please check with an animal shelter, rescue group or vet’s office. They will probably take them. -- Heloise NO CLEAN UP Dear Heloise: I have a beard and when I trim it, little hairs get all over the sink and counter. To help keep the bathroom cleaner, I lay a sheet of newspaper on the counter and trim over that. Just fold up the newspaper and throw it away. -Bill R. from Alaska, via email DRYING RACK Dear Heloise: We had screens replaced on our house, and some were in pretty good shape. I cleaned them up and use them around the house. One way is as a drying rack for my sweaters and clothes I hand wash. -- Katherine R., Ft. Worth TX (c)2015 by King Features Syndicate Inc.
