First women auctioneers in state
plan to serve tri-county area
By Rachael HerbertVarchetto
Staff Writer
MARSHALL COUNTY
— Being a pioneering
first in anything can be a
daunting achievement, but
for Heather Shepherd and
Brenda Rose, they enjoy rising to the occasion.
Shepherd and Rose are
the first ever women owned
and operated auction and
appraisal partnership in the
state of Indiana.
The two have been
friends for several years,
after Shepherd’s husband
introduced her to Rose, who
lives in Mentone. Shepherd
is a resident of Etna Green.
“It’s been a lifelong dream
of Brenda’s to be an auctioneer, and when we had
started practicing the drills
for the class, it came naturally,” explained Shepherd.
“It’s a lot easier to when

been easy.
Starting about six months

a trip to St. Louis, Missouri
where the “Harvard of auctioneering”, as noted in
Newsweek Magazine, is
located.

WALKERTON — Changes to staff and discussion of
transfer students filled the air at the Aug. 18 John Glenn
School Corporation Board Meeting.
There was an amendment made to the agenda as soon as
the meeting began. The amendment added a $10,850 line
item under the Update on Practice Field Construction. The
board approved this amendment.
Mr. Davis, Principle of Walkerton Elementary School
(WES), submitted to the board the following donations:
• Falcon 500: $100 for the Council Emergency Fund.
• Target’s Take Charge for Education: $200.
• Walkerton United Methodist Church: $50.
Mr. Davis also reflected on the WES Summer Reading
Program. They had on average 20-25 students who participated. This year the school had an incentive program.
Incentives included ice cream at the Falcon Dipper, a place
on the Fourth of July parade, a trip to the South Bend
Chocolate Factory, an evening of Bingo and Ice Cream, and
time at the Splash Pad and Cookout at Scarborough Park.
The Blessings in a Backpack program is starting Friday
Aug. 21 according to Davis. This is the second year for the
program and will include 100 students at the elementary.
Assistant Principal Rebecca Cummings represented
North Liberty Elementary School (NLES) at the meeting.

took place. Sanders stepped up
to become president and Kirk
Nellans stepped down to become
vice president while Judy Ditmire
was voted to become secretary.
After the Pledge of Allegiance
was recited, Sanders opened with
some remarks about his predecessor saying that “Kirk’s done a
really good job. He’s been sitting
in this spot for several years and
no matter what, good times or
bad, it’s a challenge to lead and
do what you have to do and Kirk’s
done a very good job in my opinion. I appreciate what he’s done
for the school.”
In the Patron Comment section
of the meeting, Johanna Bauer
was the first and only person to
contribute. Bauer is a 1989 Argos
Graduate and has children in the
school system. She commented
that she “would like to thank Kirk
for his years of service” and even
though he is not leaving the board
she wanted to say “thanks for
serving as president, you did a
great job.”
Technology Director Aron Leeper
gave his Technology Report to the
board. There were 498 students
that went through the online registration. Leeper reported one screen
casualty so far in the Chromebook
Rollout. A Junior who was responsible for the broken screen will
have to pay the replacement fee.
All students from grades 4-12 were
issued Chromebooks earlier in the
month. Grades 2-3 will be issued
Chromebooks later this week.
Leeper did say that only eleven
Chromebooks are still waiting to
be picked up. New Access Points
were installed at the beginning of
August to help support the new
technology.
Maintenance Director Brad

Report to the board. Carter commented that all the summer cleaning was completed despite the lack
of one custodian. Every elementary room was touched up with

most schooling to become
a certified auctioneer. With
two weeks under their belt
of live bid calling, running
auctions, and going through
speech drills to get that signature auction call down,
the two were ready to take
their tests to certification.
“The first day we were
there, we had to auction off
an item in front of all the
students,” stated Shepherd.
For Rose, who had the
dream of being an auctioneer, it’s been a calling she
had trouble ignoring.
“It’s addicting, just being
behind the block and being
able to be an auctioned, to
have an audience there to
sell products that they like.
Just to have the opportunity to be on the flip side
of it. Anyone can go to an
auction but to actually go
to school to pass a test and
open your own business,
it’s a lot different a feat to
try to do that, and it’s a lot

The school taught more

the auctioneer and the bid
caller in the ring working
together. It was the whole

goes on behind the scenes in

Argos, continued from front
paint. Ceilings were replaced in four classrooms and three high school classrooms
were reconfigured. Carter also reported that
repairs were done in response to vandalism
that was done to the building. All 58 HVAC
classrooms along with the 28 rooftop units
were cleaned and inspected.
The Fire Marshall came to the school during the summer and only dealt out three
write ups. Carter commented that one of
the write ups has been taken care of already,
but the other two were in reference to the
Emergency Lighting in Gym 3, some batteries were bad in the exit lights. Carter noted
that the parts arrived the day of the meeting
and are expected to be in installed the next
day.
The main topic of Carter’s report had to
do with Gym 1. “This project has been a
nightmare,” remarked Carter even though
he did comment that the “project is back on
track.” The gym floor project started with
just the replacement of the maple floor, but
it was also anticipated to have additional
damage to the subfloor due to moisture,
which was found. A delay was caused to the
added work of having the subfloor replaced
as well. More work was added when they
found that the subfloor support system was
bad and when it was removed, the mortar
that held this together disintegrated into 4-6
inches of dust. Once the dust was cleaned,
holes in the concrete slab were discovered
that had to be fixed.
To date, Carter reported that half of the
subfloor has been put in and they are back
on track. Foster Flooring is the contractor
the school is using for the new gym floor.
“They’ve been involved every step of the
way.” Carter reported.
Along with other renovation projects,
Carter talked about the high school lobby
having been renovated. The major issue that
they are still working on is the condition
of the student parking lot. “We have some
wide and deep cracks, some of the cracks
are about two inches wide and about six
inches deep,” Carter reported. One contractor in their bid told Carter that it was, in
the contractors opinion, that the parking lot
was sinking. “He said every crack you look
is exactly where a drain tile is at,” Carter
relayed the contractors verdict to the board.
There is another contractor coming out in
the next week to give their opinion.
“I’m anticipating what’s going to be said
though, is that slab is going to be totally
removed and replaced which is going to be
a very large expense to the school.” Carter
declared.
Another project that Carter advised the
board to have done is the replacement of the
Ag Roof. The original roof, installed in 1978,
has been leaking and Carter and his crew
have attempted to seal it and so far it has
worked. The attempt is only meant to buy
time to allow for the school to afford other
expenses that are larger. He also added that
they are in need of a part-time custodian.
Lynn Overmyer, Jr/Sr High Secretary,
gave her report on the Fair Booth. She stated
that “this year we had twelve organizations
that had an opportunity to make money at
the fair booth.” The booth had a final profit
of $2,449.68.
The board approved two resignations and
thirteen new employment positions.
Coordinator of the “Art to Remember”
Fundraiser Jennifer Harness appealed to the
board to approve the fundraiser to continue
it again for its second year. The fundraiser
showed a profit of $760 last year. The fundraiser is scheduled for the Fall. The board
unanimously approved.
The board approved a Memorandum of
Understanding between Argos Community
Schools and Marshall County Emergency
Management Agency. “This Memorandum
of Understanding is requesting for us to be
utilized as an emergency site for when a
disaster occurs due to its location within the
community and its size,” Superintendent
Michelle Riise explained.
The board also approved an Easement
by Colonial Court MHP, LLC. It was tabled
at last months meeting. The trailer courts
are expanding and because of that they
need a water easement on the north side of
the schools property. “The impact on our
grounds we feel is minimal and the potential of the new units for students in general
I think we feel that would help us from that
aspect,” Sanders said.
Board member Don Mahoney wanted a
change to the document that would make
Colonial Court seek approval from the
school when drainage is concerned. As it
stood, the trailer park would have absolute
control over the water easement. The board
approved it with that change.
Director of Finance Jennifer Lee asked
the board to approve accounts Payable
Claims of $626,943.06 and Payroll Claims
of $226,610.30. The board approved those
claims for those totals.
Lee also reported that the general fund
balance is currently at $126.225.55. She also
asked the board for an additional appropriation from two funds. The first is from
the Debt Service Fund for a total of $56,431
which would cover the general obligation
bond payment from 2014. Lee assured the
board that they would have the money
when the December Tax payment arrives.
The second appropriation is from the Bus
Replacement Fund. There was an error in
the budget, they only appropriated $1,054.
Lee requested the approval to take these
two appropriations to the County Council
September Meeting. The board approved
this request.
There were two Professional Development
Reports. Jennifer Alford attended a High
Ability Conference that focused on language arts curriculum. Cathy Null attended
a Food Service Professional Training session
as part of her duties.
Superintendent Michelle Riise remarked
on several issues. One was the reorganization of the Old Gold Parent Organization,
there is a meeting taking place Friday, Aug.
28. Riise also released a preliminary count
of enrollment at Argos Community School
showing an increase. The actual count is
Sept. 12. The actual numbers will be provided at the September meeting.
The next meeting is Sept. 21 in the library
of the school at 7 p.m.

Claims 1027-1089 were approved by the board.
Bob Aloi from Territorial Engineering was on hand
to update the board on the update to the Practice Field
Construction. “We’re moving right along,” Aloi said.
The additional request for $10,850 that was amended at
the beginning of the meeting was approved by the board
with a vote of 5 - 0.
The contracts for Principal Contracts - Two Year Roll Over
was approved unanimously by the board. Reese also noted
that Assistant Principal Christopher Winchell’s position will
be changed to Associate Principal.
The Advertisement of Budget Items showed no changes
from last months budget meeting and was approved by the
board.
The Maximum Number of Transfer Students and the
Deadline for Transfer was approved. Superintendent Reese
explained that “the State of Indiana requires on a yearly
basis that state the number of students per grade level that
we will accept and they also stipulate that we put a date
down so we put the last day of school as we would be
accepting students up to that point.” The maximum number
is 40 per grade level. Reese then went onto state that the
number overall is 312 at the time of the meeting. The official
count day is Sept. 18 and Reese stated that everything then
will be finalized. He then estimated that the enrollment
for JGSC to be 1880. Last years number for enrollment was
1787.
“It’s purely an estimate,” Reese clarified to the board.
When asked why the deadline for transfer was the last
day of school, Reese answered that, “To me, the date is
relatively unimportant, but you got to have a date” and, “I
wouldn’t want to be the other people around us that are losing” enrolled students. The board approved the maximum
number of transfers along with the deadline by a vote of
5 - 0.
The board approved the Construction Fund Affidavit, the
total of which is $60,146.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jared Fogle’s journey through
federal court on criminal charges tied to child pornography
is far from over after the former Subway pitchman made a
brief court appearance Wednesday.
— THE CHARGES
Distribution and receipt of child pornography and conspiracy to do so; traveling to engage in illicit commercial
sexual conduct with a minor and attempting to do so.
— WHAT HAPPENED WEDNESDAY?
Fogle made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court
in Indianapolis. The court entered a not-guilty plea on his
behalf, even though he plans to plead guilty on a later date.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Dinsmore asked Fogle routine
questions about his age and education level. He also asked
if Fogle had read documents detailing the charges he faced.
Dinsmore explained Fogle’s rights, asked him if he had any
questions and then briefly discussed the terms of his release
during the roughly 12-minute hearing before a packed courtroom.
Fogle waived a reading of the charges and his right to a
formal arraignment. Accompanied by three attorneys, he
remained tight-lipped throughout the proceedings, offering
mostly short “yes” or “no” answers the judge.
—WHAT’S NEXT?
Fogle was released on home detention, and GPS monitoring will be used to track him while he awaits his next court
appearance.
That will likely be several months away, according to a
spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office. During that appearance, the judge will likely decide whether to accept a plea
agreement and then determine the sentence.
The government has agreed not to seek a sentence of more
than 12½ years in prison, and Fogle agreed not to ask for
less than five years. Federal judges have wide discretion in
sentencing, so Fogle could get a longer sentence. He also
faces a fine of up to $500,000 and supervised release after he
leaves prison.
Prosecutors released the terms of the deal, which would
also require Fogle to pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14
victims, each of whom will get $100,000.
Under the SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, those that have suffered financial losses in direct
correlation to the damage wreaked by the rain can apply
that are farm-related and nonfarm-related. However, the
SBA cannot provide loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranches.
“Folks that have small businesses associated with agriculture, if they suffer some sort of loss because of the rain
and had flooding issues, it’s a resource for them to get some
assistance,” said Emergency Management Agency Director
Clyde Avery. “Primarily if they’re not insured, most small
businesses have very limited funding and so an impact
from a disaster can potentially put them out of business.”
Not all businesses may have been affected adversely,
especially if they have financial resources to fall back on.
“It’s just an opportunity for them to get a low interest
loan to offset some of the costs they incurred because of the
flooding,” Avery further clarified.
The SBA reported that the loan amount can be up to $2
million with an interest rate of 2.625 percent for private
non-profit organizations of all sizes, and up to four percent
for small businesses. A term can last 30 years.
Eligibility is based on the applicant’s size, their activity
type, and the business’s financial resources. The working
capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, for payroll,

Maintaining
math momentum
School’s return ushers in another year of homework routines, for some a nightly battle of wills. There is good reason
for parents to encourage their children’s best efforts, especially in math, as
new information
shows that faltering in or mastering math can be
By Glenn Augustine
an indicator of a
child’s future.
Greg Duncan,
a researcher from
The University of
California-Irvine, found that parents often focus early attention on their child’s behavior and reading. However, Duncan
concluded, “math skills are more important than any other
subject in predicting a child’s long-term success.”
With that statement in mind, two measures of Hoosier
students’ math performance bear close examination. In
Indiana, all students in grades 3-8 take ISTEP+ to assess their
mastery of Indiana Academic Standards. A sample of fourthand eighth-graders in every state also takes the National
Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP). While both
tests are valid and reliable, they test slightly different concepts and have differing scales of measurement.
In 2014, 83 percent of Indiana’s fourth-graders passed
the ISTEP+ math section, while eighth-graders passed at a
slightly lower rate, 81.9 percent.
According to the 2013 NAEP, 52 percent of Indiana’s
fourth-graders rated at or above proficient. For eighthgraders, 38 percent scored at or above proficient. Both grade
levels scored better in math than their peers nationally.
That’s the good news.
The cause for concern could be found in the lower math
scores for eighth-graders on both ISTEP+ and NAEP compared to fourth-graders. Are students losing their math
momentum?
“I don’t think it’s exactly accurate to say there’s a slide
between fourth and eighth because those aren’t the same students,” said Dale Nowlin, chair of the mathematics department at Columbus North High School and a representative
on NAEP’s governing board. “I would say for all of those
statistics that we’re doing better, but we need to continue to
do better and better.”
Nowlin cited a 2014 report from Indiana University’s
Center for Evaluation and Education Policy that showed
Indiana’s fourth- and eighth-graders are performing two
grade levels higher on NAEP than their 1990 counterparts.
Vince Bertram, a former school superintendent in Evansville,
is president and CEO of Project Lead the Way, an organization working to promote STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics) education nationally. Bertram
agrees Hoosier students are doing better, but adds that the
NAEP scores show many students are not proficient at math,
and in his experience, fewer students are excelling in math as
they progress through school.
“It’s not just preparing mathematics to take a test, but
rather how it applies to their own existence,” Bertram said.
“We find the integration of math into all subjects and helping
students apply math in physical education or in other things
around the world or in their existence, then math becomes
relevant and exciting for students.”
The leadership of Jameson Camp in Indianapolis knows
the value of getting kids excited about math in different contexts. As children get close to nature on field trips at Jameson
Camp, they engage in outdoor activities that teach them to
make graphs, figure percentages, and convert temperatures
between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
“It’s that whole theory if you’re having fun and you’re having to do experiential learning, it’s going to be reinforced,”
said Dan Shepley, Jameson Camp’s executive director.
Jameson Camp’s lessons help students become problem
solvers, critical thinkers, collaborators and communicators,
which are must-have skills to succeed in our knowledge
economy. These students are learning in grades 6-8 what
their parents used to learn in freshman algebra. Indiana’s
2013 high school graduation rate was 88.6 percent. In the
1950s, Bertram said, high schools graduated about 50 percent of their students, and those who didn’t graduate could
still find good jobs, especially in manufacturing.
“I think as parents we want our children to go out and
have great opportunities and great careers,” Bertram concluded. “Without proficiency in mathematics and many of
these disciplines our children are going to be underserved.”
The challenge for educators and parents today is that the
academic standards and the stakes for our children’s futures
are so much higher. Encouraging our students to meet the
challenge will serve them, and our society well..

Half a century of help with Medicare
On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon
B. Johnson signed Medicare into law
with these words: “No longer will
older Americans be denied the healing
miracle of modern medicine. No longer will illness crush and destroy the
savings that they have so carefully put
away over a lifetime.”
For 50 years, the Medicare program
has provided essential health care services for millions of people who are age
65 or older, disabled, or have debilitating diseases. Without Medicare, many
people would not be able to pay for
hospital care, doctor’s visits, medical
tests, preventive services, or prescription drugs.
Your Medicare card is the most
important piece of identification you
own as a Medicare beneficiary since
medical providers will request it when
you seek their services. If you need
to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged
Medicare card, you can do it online
with a my Social Security account at
www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.
Requesting a replacement card through
my Social Security is safe, convenient,
and easy. Going online saves you a
trip to your local Social Security office
or unproductive time on the phone.
Request your replacement Medicare
card the easy and convenient way —

online — and you’ll get it in the same
amount of time as you would if you
applied in an office or over the phone
— in about 30 days.
Fifty years ago, Medicare didn’t
have as many options as it does today.
As the largest public health program
in the United States, Medicare includes
four parts to keep you covered:
• Part A is insurance that covers
inpatient hospital stays, outpatient
care in nursing facilities, hospice, and
home health care.
• Part B includes medical insurance
for doctor’s services, medical supplies,
outpatient care, and preventive services.
• Part C is a Medicare advantage
plan that allows you to choose your
health care coverage through a provider organization. You must have Part A
and Part B to enroll in Part C. This plan
usually includes Medicare prescription
drug coverage and may include extra
benefits and services at an additional
cost.
• Part D is prescription drug coverage. There is a separate monthly
premium for this plan; however, people with low resources and income
may qualify for the Extra Help with
Medicare prescription drug costs from
Social Security. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp to see if you
qualify.
A recent survey to Medicare beneficiaries asked: Why do you love
Medicare? One person stated, “It gives
peace of mind not only for seniors,
but for veterans and disabled as well.”
Another satisfied recipient replied, “I
most likely wouldn’t be alive today
without Medicare.” These are just two
of the millions who endorse Medicare’s
half-century strong success story.
For more information about
Medicare, visit www.medicare.gov.
As Medicare celebrates 50 years,
Social Security commemorates 80
years. Learn more about Social
Security’s 80th anniversary at www.

Farmers Mutual Insurance awards
scholarship to Nathan Day
PLYMOUTH — Farmers Mutual Insurance in Plymouth
has selected Plymouth High School senior Nathan Day
as the recipient of the 2015 Farmers Mutual Insurance
Company/John F. Ruff
Memorial Scholarship.
The $500 annual scholarship is awarded to a
child or grandchild of a
current policyholder. Day
is the son of Mike and Lisa
Day and the grandson of
Donald and Marlene Day.
He will be attending
Baker College in Owosso,
Mich., concentrating his
studies in automotive/
diesel service technology
and hoping to further that
knowledge with service
Nathan Day
management and business
administration.
Ultimately, he would like to be able to operate and eventually own his own aftermarket business and specialize in
automotive, diesel and even agricultural repairs on vehicles
and equipment. He hopes to become a top mechanic and
return to the local community.
Having lived on a farm since he was 4 years old, Nathan
Day recognizes the importance of always having working
equipment to get your job done.
In high school, he took classes at the Starke County
Initiative for Lifelong Learning (SCILL) Center to get
hands on experience, repairing vehicles for people receiving assistance from the Women’s Shelter, LOVE foundation,
and Elderly Transportation. Here, he earned all nine ASE
Student Certifications on his first attempt during his junior
year and became a teaching assistant.
He enjoys fishing in Red Lake, Ontario, where he and his
brother drive as far as they can then board a bush plane to
head to upper Goose Lake for the walleye and northern.
Additional favorite hobbies include riding ATVs and playing basketball.
Fasteen named Wells Scholar at IU
BLOOMINGTON — Tess Fasteen of Louisville, Ky. has
been named to the 26th class of Herman B Wells Scholars at
Indiana University.
She is the granddaughter of Douglas and Janice Badell of
Plymouth, and daughter of Pam Badell Fasteen.
A National Merit Scholar, an AP Scholar with Distinction,

Is Golf causing lower back pain?
Brian Natzel
PGA Director
of Instruction
The Golf Academy at
Swan Lake Resort
Are the mechanics of
your golf swing potentially causing lower back pain
and uncomfortable disk
pressure? Do you want to
play 18 holes, but can only
tolerate playing 9 holes
or less? Is there a simple
fix that could potentially
get rid of this bothersome
and nagging problem? Just
maybe, and for some, the
answer is a resounding,
“Yes!”
One swing characteristic that we commonly
come across with many
of our students at the Golf
Academy of Swan Lake
Resort is “Reverse Spine
Angle. This characteristic of swing mechanics
is the leading flaw causing lower back pain. It is
fairly simple to diagnose
and actually quite easy to

fix. An easy fix in the golf
swing…..that’s a welcome
surprise!
If you have ever experienced lower back pain
from playing golf, would
like to prevent ever having back issues arise, and
would like to increase the
years that you can play
this great game, please
give this some consideration.
How does one determine
if a “Reverse Spine Angle”
is even an issue? Easy! Record your golf swing with
mid iron, preferably a 7 or
6 iron from a face to face
position with a camera.
Then compare your swing
to this video. http://www.
mytpi.com/improve-mygame/swing-characteristics/reverse-spine-angle_
v2.
If you have determined
that you in fact do have
a “Reverse Spine Angle,”
please contact a PGA Professional, one that is preferably TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Certified
to help fix this sensitive issue and improve your golf
swing mechanics.
Remember, your golf
swing mechanics may or
may not be the underlying issue. Physical fitness, therapy, or medical
expertise may be needed
as well. A TPI Certified
Professional (whether a
golf professional, physical
fitness trainer, therapist,
or doctor) can help each
individual find the appropriate avenues to provide
relief.
At the Golf Academy at
Swan Lake Resort, Brian
Natzel is our Director of
Instruction and TPI Certified Professional. We often
evaluate students’ physical
abilities by putting them
through a physical screening. We also check for
swing characteristics that
can cause bad golf shots
as well as look for movements that can be hard on
the body. Our service is
called a “Full Evaluation
Lesson.” If your experience lower back pain from
playing golf, this may be a
good place to start.

Tigers down Cubs again; Cards edge Giants
TIGERS 15, CUBS 8
CHICAGO (AP) — Pitcher
Daniel Norris homered in
his first career plate appearance, Nick Castellanos went
deep twice, one a grand
slam, and Detroit pounded
Jon Lester.
The Tigers set season
highs in runs and hits (21)
and tied one with five homers — three off Lester. It was
the second time this season
they reached double digits
in scoring in consecutive
games, after winning 10-8
on Tuesday.
The Cubs dropped their
third straight after winning
nine in a row and 15 of 16,
with Lester (8-9) making his
earliest exit of the season.
The Cubs’ ace lasted just
2 2-3 innings in his shortest outing since 2012 while
allowing a season-high
seven runs.
Norris became the 19th
pitcher and first since 2011
to homer in his first major
league at-bat, according
to STATS, when he lined a
two-run drive in the second inning. Norris left the
game in the fifth because of
a strained right oblique.
Castellanos drove in a
career-high five runs and
tied one with four hits. He
recorded the first multihomer game of his career with
a leadoff drive in the second and the grand slam that
made it 7-0 in the third.
J.D. Martinez hit his 32nd
homer. Rajai Davis went
deep, and reliever Neftali
Feliz (3-3) got the win in a
game that lasted 3 hours, 48
minutes.
Chicago’s Dexter Fowler,
Kris Bryant and Kyle
Schwarber all homered.
ROYALS 4, REDS 3
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Lorenzo Cain had a tiebreaking RBI single in the second
inning, Ben Zobrist had four
hits, and Kansas City benefited from a Cincinnati baserunning gaffe to complete a
two-game sweep.
Royals starter Jeremy
Guthrie left in the fifth with
the 4-3 lead and the bases
loaded and one out. Luke
Hochevar (1-0) got Jay Bruce
to pop up along the first base
line. Bruce was out under
the infield fly rule, but Jason
Bourgeois tried to score
when the ball dropped, and
Hochevar threw to catcher
Drew Butera, who easily
tagged out Bourgeois to end
the inning.

Ryan Madson and Kelvin
Herrera each turned in one
scoreless relief inning before
Wade Davis pitched the
ninth for his 10th save.
Zobrist had his eighth
career four-hit game as the
Royals completed a sweep

series with Cincinnati.
The Royals have won five
straight and the Reds have

Keyvius Sampson (2-2)
gave up the four runs and

He walked two and struck

CARDINALS 4, GIANTS 3
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier
Molina’s 100th career home
run in the bottom of the
eighth inning snapped a tie
for St. Louis.
Molina added an RBI single in the first and rookie
Stephen Piscotty homered in
the third for St. Louis, which
took two of three from the
NL West-contending Giants.
The Cardinals are 77-43
overall and 46-19 at home,
both tops in the majors.
Kevin Siegrist (5-0)
allowed a walk in the eighth
and Trevor Rosenthal earned
his 38th save in 40 chances,
striking out pinch-hitting
pitcher Madison Bumgarner
to end it. Siegrist won both
of the games in the series
and the Cardinals wrapped
up a 6-3 homestand with
three 2-1 series wins and
have won six consecutive
series overall.
Molina led off the eighth
by lining an 0-1 breaking
ball from Hunter Strickland
(2-3) for his fourth homer of
the year.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)
— Jered Weaver pitched
five-hit ball into the seventh
inning, and Carlos Perez
homered in the Angels’
third straight victory over
the Chicago White Sox.
Weaver (5-9) earned his
first victory since May 30,
striking out five without a
walk in his third start back
from a seven-week injury
absence. The Angels’ longtime ace showed command
and deception that made up
for his velocity, and eventually left to a standing ovation.
Perez delivered the
game’s only run with his
third homer of the season —
and first since May 30 — in
the sixth.

13th inning gave Houston
the win.

in the 10th.
Josh Fields (4-1) got the
last two outs of the 13th for
the win.
The Astros tied it 2-2 on a

with one out in the ninth.
NATIONALS 4, ROCKIES 1
DENVER (AP) — Stephen
Strasburg pitched seven
strong innings and Jayson
Werth hit a tiebreaking triple
in the eighth for Washington.
Strasburg (7-6) allowed
two hits, struck out five
and didn’t walk a batter in
his third straight solid start
since coming off the disabled list. Since returning to
the rotation on Aug. 8, the
right-hander has allowed
three earned runs, struck out
25 in 20 innings and lowered
his ERA from 5.16 to 4.22.
The Nationals tied it in
the seventh when reliever
Gonzalez Germen allowed
a two-out double to Bryce
Harper and walked two
straight to load the bases.
Germen then threw a wild
pitch to Ryan Zimmerman
and Harper scored easily to
tie it at 1.
Washington again mounted a two-out rally off
Rafael Betancourt (2-4) in
the eighth. Wilson Ramos
singled, pinch-hitter Clint
Robinson walked and
Werth lined a triple over the
glove of right fielder Carlos
Gonzalez to make it 3-1.
Werth finished with two
hits.
Zimmerman added an
RBI single in the ninth and
Jonathan Papelbon got
the final three outs for his
20th save and third with
Washington.

20th century are best avoided. That, says Dr. Mike’s
Cleveland Clinic Wellness
Center, means you should
steer clear of inflammatory
oils such as corn oil, shortening made with hydrogenated
palm oil and soybean oil.
Solid fats like margarine also
increase inflammation.
Instead, opt for coldpressed or expeller-pressed
oils; they’ve been extracted
without use of a chemical
solvent. For high-heat cook-
ing, choose polyunsaturated
fats like grapeseed or avocado oil. For all other purposes,
opt for monounsaturated oils
like olive, almond, peanut,
safflower, sesame and canola
oil.
Polyunsaturated
and
monounsaturated fats help
lower lousy LDL cholesterol
and help prevent some cancers and stroke. And omega3, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in canola and
walnut oil, reduces plaque
buildup in the arteries and
keeps blood sugar levels in
check.
Bonus tip: Algal and fish
oils have DHA-omega-3s,
which reduce brain, eye and
joint inflammation.
Sandwich your summer
By Angela Shelf Medearis
The Kitchen Diva
A sandwich is the perfect way to enjoy
a simple, yet filling meal on a hot summer
day. If your taste buds are tired of traditional
sandwich fare, it’s time to explore other cultures. A modern Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is a delicious melding of Asian spices
and ingredients encased in a French baguette.
The original components of the banh mi
(pronounced BUN-mee), a generic term
used to describe food made with flour, were
introduced to Saigon by the French in the
early 20th century. A traditional French-style
banh mi consisted of buttered baguettes that
the locals called banh tay (literally, “foreign
cake”), and ham or pate.
By 1945, “Tay” had been dropped in favor
of “Mi” to become Banh Mi, which literally means “bread made from wheat.” The
change signaled that bread had been fully
accepted as Vietnamese cuisine. This was significant because rice had long been the staple
food. The introduction of banh mi heralded a
new phase in the culinary sensibilities of the
Vietnamese people.
In time, the banh mi took on a decidedly
Asian flare. After French rule ceased in 1954,
the Vietnamese started to include their own
ingredients, condiments and garnishments.
Butter was replaced with a kind of mayonnaise, while pickled vegetables and fresh
chilies were added to enhance the flavor.
Thinly cut pork, chicken and beef were preferred to ham, and spicier condiments such
as pickled vegetables also were added.
The emergence of street vendors also heralded the reintroduction of banh mi as a food
staple for the masses. Many vendors combined Eastern and Western influences such as
the use of canned French butter, fresh mayonnaise, cucumber and pickles, and a variety of
meats including sardines, shredded chicken,
grilled pork patties, barbequed meatballs,
fried eggs and bean curd.
Banh mi, along with its unique variations, migrated to America along with the
Vietnamese families who fled the war in the
1960s and ‘70s. They combined the traditional banh mi with ingredients from their
new home.
Today, a variety of banh mi sandwiches
are available from barbequed pork to vegetarian tofu versions topped with marinated
vegetables, spicy chili sauce, soy sauce and
mayonnaise, and encased in a warm baguette
or a flour tortilla.
If a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich isn’t
sold in your area, you can make them at home
using this wonderful recipe for Chicken Banh
Mi. It’s a great for using leftover grilled,
smoked or barbequed chicken, or a rotisserie
chicken from your local grocery store.
CHICKEN BANH MI
You can make the crunchy, marinated carrot topping for this traditional sandwich
ahead of time and store it in an air-tight
container. If daikon radish isn’t available,
use 1/4 cup peeled and shredded radish as
a substitute.
1/2 cup carrots, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup daikon or red radish, peeled and
shredded
2 teaspoons sugar or sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 1/2 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek
yogurt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or 1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
3 (12-inch) baguettes, halved lengthwise
18 thin slices of cucumber
3 scallions, thinly sliced lengthwise and cut
into 2-inch pieces
1 kiwi, thinly sliced, optional
1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Place carrot, radish, sugar, salt and
vinegar in a small bowl; stir to combine.
Let marinate while preparing the rest of the
ingredients.
3. Place cilantro, mayonnaise, yogurt, soy
sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and Sriracha or
the cayenne in a medium bowl; stir to combine. Add the cooked, shredded chicken; toss
to coat.
4. Cut each baguette horizontally in half
and place in the oven to toast until tops are
golden brown. Spread mayo on each half,
if using. Using a slotted spoon, divide the
carrot mixture among the baguettes (discard
vinegar). Top with chicken, cucumber, scallions and the kiwi slices, if desired.
5. Press on tops. Cut each baguette into two
6-inch sandwiches. Serves 6.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Upside-down medication method?
TO: Holly Buckingham
and Scott Andrew
Buckingham
(Address unknown)
On the 7th day of
October,116
2015, at
8:30 a.m., in the Circuit
Legals
Court Marshall County,
Indiana, a hearing will
be held to determine
whether guardians
should be appointed
for Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr., minor. The
petition alleges that
Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr. is an incapacitated person because
of his minority, and
asks the Court to appoint a Guardian over
his person and estate.
You may appear at the
hearing and be heard
by the Court. If you do
not appear, the petition
will be heard acted on
by the Court in your
absence.
If the Court finds that
Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr. is an incapacitated person, the Court
at the hearing will also
consider whether Joseph P, Mersch and
Keri L. Mersch should
be appointed as
guardians of said minor child. The Court
may, in its discretion,
appoint some other
qualified person as
guardian. The Court
may also, in its discretion, limit the powers
and duties of the
guardians to allow
Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr, to retain control over certain property and activities. The
Court may also determine whether a protective order should be
entered on behalf of
Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr..
Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr, may attend
the hearing and be
represented by an attorney. The petition
may be heard and determined in the absence of Scott Andrew
Buckingham, Jr. if the
Court determines that
his presence is not required. If Scott Andrew
Buckingham, Jr, attends the hearing, opposes the petition, and
is not represented by
an attorney, the Court
may appoint an attorney to represent the alleged minor child. The
Court may, where required, appoint a
guardian ad litem to
represent Scott Andrew Buckingham, Jr,
at the hearing.
The Court may, on its
own motion or on request of any interested
person, postpone the
hearing to another date
and time.
Dated this 10 day of
August, 2015.

Science supplies
are arriving
Photo provided
Cathy Strycker’s third-grade class at Triton Elementary
School shows newly-arrived science supplies. Strycker
said, “Our class was very fortunate to be given an opportunity for a grant with an organization our Triton School
Superintendent, Mrs. Donna Burroughs, shared with us
called DonorsChoose.org. This summer I wrote up a
project for our third-grade classroom called: ‘Engineering
Science Through Creativity and Innovation,’ which focused
on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)
with our third-graders. We were graciously given donations from 3M and an anonymous donor to raise $657 to
purchase supplies that we will use throughout our school
year in many areas. We were very fortunate to be given
the funding for these items to help us learn, innovate,
and become creative thinkers. You can see by the excited
faces in our class that everyone is looking forward to using
these supplies right away. Thank you, donors.”

Indiana corn, soybean
crops expected to fall
well short of last year
INDIANAPOLIS —
Damaged crops from
rain-flooded fields in
June and July led the
federal government last
Wednesday to project
big drops in the amount
of corn and soybeans Indiana farmers will
harvest compared with last year’s bounty.
Nationally, however, the crops are expected to fare better.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is
projecting that Indiana farmers this fall will
harvest 867.4 million bushels of corn on
an average of 158 bushels per acre. That is
down 20 percent from last year’s record 1.08
billion bushels on 188 bushels per acre. Indiana soybean farmers were projected
to bring in 278.8 million bushels on 49 per
acre, down 9.3 percent from last year when
they produced the state’s second-largest
crop of 307.4 million bushels on 56 per acre.
Some areas of the state were hit much
harder than others, and some individual
fields had both heavily damaged sections as
well as areas that will produce good yields,
noted Jay Akridge, Glenn W. Sample Dean
of the Purdue College of Agriculture.
“The bottom line is that yields will be off
and we’ll see a lot of variability across the
state,” said Akridge, who moderated a panel
of experts analyzing the USDA’s August
Crop Production Report at the Indiana State
Fairgrounds. The report provides the government’s first projections of how much
corn and soybeans farmers might harvest in
Indiana and nationally.
The USDA last Wednesday designated
53 Indiana counties, including Marshall
County, as disaster areas, making them and
35 contiguous counties eligible for lowinterest loans through the USDA’s Farm
Service Agency, said panelist Julia Wickard,
executive state director of the FSA.
Also serving on
the panel were Ted
McKinney,
director of the Indiana
State Department of
Agriculture; Chris Hurt,
Purdue Extension agricultural economist; Bob Nielsen, Purdue
Extension corn specialist; Shaun Casteel,
Purdue Extension soybean specialist; and
Greg Matli, Indiana state statistician of the
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics
Service.
Rain for six weeks in June and July saturated many corn and soybean fields shortly
after planting, drowning the small plants or
severely limiting their development. There
was so much rain that Indiana set a rainfall
record in June. The months of June and July
together were the second-wettest June and
July on record.
The USDA last week rated 25 percent of
Indiana’s corn crop in poor or very poor
condition. Twenty-four percent of soybeans
was rated in those conditions.
But water-damaged crops in Indiana as
well as Illinois, Missouri and Ohio have been
offset by well-above average crops in Iowa,
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Nebraska, putting the crops in good position for strong
production nationally.
Farmers across the U.S. were projected to
harvest 13.7 billion bushels of corn, averaging 168.8 bushels per acre. Last year, they
produced a record 14.2 billion bushels on
171 bushels an acre, also a record. This
year’s projected production still would be
the third-largest ever.
Soybean production was expected to hit
3.92 billion bushels on 46.9 bushels per acre.
Soybean farmers also set records last year in
both total production and per-acre yields, at
3.97 billion and 47.8 bushels, respectively.
