INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — TheIndiana health commissionerdeclared a public health emer-gency Friday for Wayne County,moving the eastern Indiana com-munity one step closer to asyringe-exchange programaimed at stopping the spread ofdisease.The action by Commissioner

Jerome Adams allows theWayneCounty Health Department toestablish a needle-exchange pro-gram and comes more than eightmonths after the county’s healthofficer, Dr. David Keller, declareda health emergency because ofthe number of HIV and hepatitisC infections.However, the Wayne County

commissioners debated the mat-ter for months and did not turn

in the necessary paperwork untilTuesday.Eric Coulter, executive direc-

tor of the health department,called the county’s hepatitis Csituation “desperate” during aMarch 30 public hearing, the Pal-ladium-Item reported.Statistics showed Wayne

County has recorded 179 hepati-tis C cases per 100,000 people,compared to the state average of69 per 100,000.“Rising hepatitis C rates are a

key indicator of injection druguse that can spread disease,”Adams said in a news release.“By identifying troubling riskfactors and developing a compre-hensive plan to address it,WayneCounty is showing its commit-ment to protecting the health of

its citizens and its communi-ties.”The public health emergency

declaration lasts one year, untilJune 2, 2017.Officials plan to set up the

exchange program from 3-5 p.m.on one Thursday eachmonth at alocation where opiate userscould turn in used syringes andneedles and receive new syringesand needles.Mental health services

provider Centerstone will pro-vide the location and some of thestaff, and Reid Health will under-write some of the costs and pro-vide volunteers, Coulter said.Four other Indiana counties —

Fayette, Madison, Monroe andScott — also have state approvalto operate needle exchanges.

Legacy landscape

Editor’s note: This isthe first in a summerseries on local attractionsIn Our Own Backyard.By JACK RONALDThe Commercial ReviewIt’s been part of the

landscape for more than15 years.Maybe that’s why it’s so

often overlooked.Only when it’s seen for

the first time do the scaleand ambition of Land-scape’s Legacy hit home.Yet here it is, one of the

most remarkable piecesof public art in Indianaright in our own back-yard.As Arts Place executive

director Eric Rogersrecalls, the organizationwas in the planningstages in the late 1990s for

an expansion of its facili-ty in Portland whenRhonda Franklin, one ofthe dozens of Arts in theParks teaching artistsover the years, came tohim with a question:Would a piece of publicart be part of the project?The answer, pretty

quickly, was yes.And Franklin was the

artist with the vision tomake it happen.Working over a period

of three years, Franklinand a team of artists,

assistants, and studentscreated a portrait of JayCounty that spans 35 anda half feet and measuresseven and a half feet tall.More than 40 people

were involved in the proj-ect, which began withimages taken by Arts inthe Parks participantswith pinhole cameras.“I ran a tile making

class for high school stu-dents. And my friend andcolleague KarenLefkovitz ran a pinholecamera class to help gath-er the imagery,” Franklinrecalled in an email thisweek.Those images caught

the essence of the region:Silos, teasel, a roundbarn, the Loblolly Swampcomplete with cattails

and dragonflies, the hugegrain elevator of TheAndersons and the glassfactories of Dunkirk.“The great thing was

searching out these sites,talking to people thatworked or were involved

in all these places,” saidFranklin. “I think thatmost folks thought wewere kind of strange, butthey were always friendlyand helpful, sharing theirknowledge of a topic.”See LLaannddssccaappee page 2

By RAPHAEL SATTER and ANGELA CHARLTONAssociated PressPARIS — The swollen

Seine River kept risingFriday, spilling into Parisstreets and forcing onelandmark after another toshut down as it surged toits highest levels in nearly35 years. Across the city,museums, parks andcemeteries were beingclosed as the city bracedfor possible evacuations.The Seine was expected

to peak in Paris sometimelater Friday at about 16feet, 3 inches above nor-mal. Authorities shut theLouvre museum, thenational library, theOrsay museum and theGrand Palais, Paris’ strik-ing glass-and-steel toppedexhibition center.“We evaluate the situa-

tion for all the (cultural)buildings nearly hour-by-hour,” said Culture Minis-ter Audrey Azouley,speaking to journalistsoutside the world-famousLouvre. “We don’t knowyet the evolution of thelevel of the Seine River inParis.”At the Louvre, home to

Leonardo da Vinci’s“Mona Lisa,” curatorswere scrambling to movesome 250,000 artworksfrom basement storageareas at risk of floodingto safer areas upstairs.Nearly a week of heavy

rain has led to seriousflooding across a swatheof Europe, leaving 16 peo-ple dead and others miss-ing.Although the rain has

tapered off in some areas,floodwaters are stillclimbing and could takeweeks to clear. Traffic inthe French capital wassnarled as floodingchoked roads and severalParis railway stationsshut down.Basements and apart-

ments in the capital’swell-to-do 16th districtbegan to flood Fridayafternoon as the rivercrept higher, and authori-ties were preparing possi-ble evacuations in a parkand islands on Paris’ west-ern edge.French authorities acti-

vated preliminary plansto transfer the Frenchpresidency, ministriesand other sensitive sitesto secure places in case offlooding.

By GILLIAN FLACCUSAssociated PressPORTLAND, Ore. — A train tow-

ing a highly volatile type of oilderailed Friday in Oregon’s scenicColumbia River Gorge, igniting afire that sent a plume of black

smoke high into the sky andspurring evacuations and road clo-sures.Eleven cars derailed in the 96-car

Union Pacific train and at least oneignited, releasing oil alongsidetracks that parallel the region’s

treasured Columbia River, saidAaron Hunt, a spokesman for therailroad. All the cars were carry-ing Bakken oil, which is more flam-mable because it has a higher gascontent and vapor pressure andlower flash point than others.

The accident immediately drewreaction from environmentalistswho said oil should not be trans-ported by rail, particularly along ariver that is a hub of recreationand commerce.

Continued from page 1As a border, Franklin used a glass

plate design found in The GlassMuseum as her inspiration.A ceramic artist with a master’s

of fine arts from Ohio State Univer-sity, Franklin envisioned a muralconstructed from nearly 300 individ-ual ceramic tiles. After a scalemodel was created and approved bythe Arts Place building committeein 1998, hands-on work on the proj-ect really took off.In 1999, Franklin made a full-scale

drawing of the huge mural, creatinga to-scale grid with each tile careful-ly numbered. Molds were then madefor the tiles and relief images weresculpted. The tiles were then firedfor the first time.“For this we were able to hire stu-

dents to work as studio assistants,”Franklin recalled. “I would demon-strate a certain technique or formthat I wanted to be made … then twoor three other folks would follow theexample and make similar forms onthe mural.”But it wasn’t until the summer of

2000 that the tiles could be glazedand fired a second time. Volunteersworking under the direction ofFranklin and her assistants paintedthe glazes onto the tiles by hand,then they were fired in a gas kiln inthe art park across the street fromArts Place.Only then could a team of masons

install the tiles on the south wall ofGoodrich Hall where the mural —Landscape’s Legacy — can be seentoday.“It really was a wonderful

process,” said Franklin. “So manyhands touched the piece. I hope thatthe community remembers this andfeels pride in it.”Not surprisingly for a project of

that scope, the process wasn’t with-out its hurdles.“I was pregnant the first summer

and dealing the morning sickness,”recalled Franklin. “And the next twosummers I had a small child withme. My daughter Anna was born inthe middle of the process. So thatwas a real challenge. … Learningthe work-family balance was hard.It was also difficult that my hus-band could only be with us on week-ends.”In some ways, the project changed

Franklin’s life. Though she hadhoped for other works to be commis-sioned, that didn’t happen. But byworking with the masons and the

contractors on the job, a new inter-est was sparked.“I began to take architecture

classes at Cuyahoga CommunityCollege where I was, and still am, anadjunct faculty member teachingart. Those classes led to an interiordesign job with an architecturalfirm.”Today, she’s senior interior

designer for the Cleveland firm ofVan Auken Akins Architects. “Actu-ally, where I am today is a directresult of working on Landscape’sLegacy,” Franklin said.

The Commercial Review/Jack Ronald

The design artist Rhonda Franklin used for this borderaround the mural at Arts Place was inspired by a glass plate at TheGlass Museum in Dunkirk. The project completed in 2000 includesnearly 300 ceramic tiles.

Continued from page 1“Moving oil by rail con-

stantly puts our commu-nities and environment atrisk,” said Jared Margo-lis, an attorney at theCenter for BiologicalDiversity in Eugene, Ore-gon.It wasn’t immediately

clear if oil had seepedinto the river or what hadcaused the derailment.Hunt did not know howfast the train was travel-ing at the time, but wit-nesses said it was goingslowly as it passed thetown of Mosier, Oregon,about 70 miles east ofPortland.Response teams were

using a drone to assessthe damage, said Kather-ine Santini, a spokes-woman with the U.S. For-est Service.Officials in Mosier

closed about 23 miles ofInterstate 84 and evacuat-ed a half-mile radiusaround the spill, includ-ing 200 school childrenwho were picked up bytheir parents. No injurieswere reported.Silas Bleakley was

working at his restaurant

in Mosier when the trainderailed.“You could feel it

through the ground. Itwas more of a feelingthan a noise,” he told TheAssociated Press assmoke billowed from thetankers.Bleakley said he went

outside, saw the smokeand got in his truck anddrove about 2,000 feet to abridge that crosses therailroad tracks.There, he said he saw

tanker cars “accor-dioned” across the tracks.Another witness, Brian

Shurton, was watchingthe train as it passed bythe town when he heard atremendous noise.“All of a sudden, I heard

‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’ likedominoes,” he told TheAssociated Press.He also drove to the

overpass and saw the carsflipped over before a firestarted and he called 911.“The train wasn’t going

very fast. It would havebeen worse if it had beenfaster,” said Shurton, whoruns a wind surfing busi-ness in nearby HoodRiver.

TakingNote

By NATHAN RUBBELKEThe Commercial Review As I drove along Indiana 67

into Portland a few monthsback for a job interview withThe Commercial Review, Istarted to feel uneasy. Speeding past the copious

amount of rural farmlandmade me realize I was out ofmy comfort zone. I was definite-ly no longer in my belovedhometown of St. Louis, Mis-souri. I was excited for the job inter-

view after reading up on thepaper and Jay County, and withspending the past two summersdoing political journalism inD.C., covering a beat in small-town America seemed like itwould be a fun new adventure.

But as I stared out the wind-shield of my Ford Taurus intothe rural abyss that Marchafternoon, I wondered if I wasmisguided in those thoughts. Can a kid who grew up in the

sprawling St. Louis suburbsmake it out here? Will a kid whowent to college in the middle ofa big, urban city enjoy life in acounty with only about 5,000more residents than the

amount of students and facultyat his university? Thankfully, my interviews

with Ray Cooney and JackRonald cleared away many of mydoubts. Their commitment to thepaper and to mentoring youngjournalists indicated this was theright place for me to start mycareer. In my first couple weeks in

town, I’ve been asked the follow-ing question a handful of times:Why are you in Jay County? The answer is pretty simple. I

am here to help tell your stories.That’s my goal as the new countyreporter. On a more personal note, I am

here in Jay County because Ibelieve this is a great place tolaunch my career. Reporting

local news is critical for a well-functioning democracy. Unfortu-nately, the practice is dying out inmany parts the country. I’mstoked to be at a newspaperwhere reporting in-depth, localnews is our priority. I also know I’ll get to pitch in

with just about everythinginvolved in the editorial produc-tion of The Commercial Review.I’ll be writing, reporting, takingphotos, designing pages, updat-ing the website and more. In addition to all those tasks

listed above, I’ll be writing thiscolumn. The majority of my timewill be used to tell your stories. Ihope this weekly column allowsyou to learn some of my story. I know I’ll use this space at

times to discuss my experiences

growing up in St. Louis, and myobservations of Portland and JayCounty. I’ll also use this column to pro-

vide thoughts and insight onsome of my hobbies and inter-ests. As a political junkie, I know I’ll

opine on U.S. and Indiana politicsand elections at some point. As aformer college cross country run-ner, I’ll likely touch on the sportof running. Maybe I’ll even haveto explain sometime why the St.Louis Cardinals are superior tothe Cincinnati Reds and ChicagoCubs. For now, I’m sticking with just

an introduction. I’m happy to behere in Jay County. I am evenhappier to report that feeling ofuneasiness is long gone.

Off andRunning

Uneasiness has gone away quickly

Disappointed.That’s the only word to

describe our feelingstoward Gov. Mike Penceand John Gregg and theirabsence from the welcom-ing party that greeted thepresident on his visit toIndiana on Wednesday.When the President of

the United States comesto your state, and you’rethe governor, you’re thereto greet him as yourstate’s highest-rankingrepresentative no matterthe political differencesbetween the two of you.It’s about respect for

the office — both theoffice of the presidencyand the office of gover-nor.And if you’re the de

facto leader of the Demo-cratic Party in the stateof Indiana, and the defacto head of the Demo-cratic Party in the coun-try visits your state,you’re there to meet him,again no matter the philo-sophical differences thatmay exist between thetwo of you.It’s about respect for

the party.It all boils down to

respect.Instead, Pence and

Gregg chose to disrespectthe president, and intheir snubbing of Obamagave our fabled HoosierHospitality a black eye.As if we didn’t have

enough trouble with ourpublic image.Both the governor and

his rival offered reasons(excuses) as to why theycouldn’t be in Elkhart onWednesday to greet thepresident, but they don’twash.Basically, they chose

campaigning over cour-tesy.But what else can we

expect these days when itcomes to politics, where“respect” long ago fell offthe truck.What’s happened that’s

gotten us into such a stateas this?We’ve always accepted

the origin of the word“hoosier” that favoredour inherent hospitality,that “Who’s here?” theo-ry.Instead, given the

example of Pence andGregg, we may have toshift our fealty toward analternative etymology,which holds that“hoosier” was basicallyjust another word for“rube.”We Hoosiers sure

looked like rubes with thepresident coming to townand two of our most-important public figureschoosing to stand him up.

Civility is consideredto be evidence of a cer-tain naïveté in today’sslash-and-burn politicalsphere, to bestow cour-tesy toward an opponenta demonstration of inno-cence or — worse —weakness.The president and Gov.

Pence hold to radically-opposing views when itcomes to political philos-ophy. But there was atime in our country’s his-tory when men of suchdiffering views could suptogether in conviviality,and our country wasmuch the better for it.Gregg served as one of

the Indiana co-chairs forHillary Clinton’s failed2008 campaign for theDemocratic Party nomi-nation.He, too, differs with the

president over some poli-cies, but those differ-ences don’t excuse dis-courtesy.As Will Rogers, who

never met a man hedidn’t like, famouslysaid, “I am not a memberof any organized party —I am a Democrat.”The example we want

our leaders to set, andthat we want young peo-ple to emulate, is to befound in Will Rogers andnot in the conduct of Gov.Pence or Gregg and theirtreatment of Obama onWednesday: differencesbe damned, we can becivil with each other, wecan respect each other,we can get along witheach other.

Hoosier hospitalitywas simply lacking

HoosierEditorial

By PETULA DVORAKThe Washington PostCourtoom 1E is like a big, open con-

fessional.“This is almost like the truth

court,” said Marshall Williams, aretired Army sergeant major whodecided he would scrap all the plati-tudes he’d planned to say in thisNorthern Virginia courtroom lastweek and instead tell the truth.The truths told here in Fairfax

County District Court are usuallypersonal and embarrassing.They include the truth about dodg-

ing gunfire, watching people die,dousing the nightmares with drugs oralcohol, trying to get out of bed everyday when you’re a U.S. military veter-an fighting the physical and mentaltoll of your service.This truth court is an experiment

— Fairfax’s first Veterans TreatmentCourt program.“This program is a merciful one,”

explained Judge Michael J. Linder.It’s what the men and women who“sacrificed everything for every oneof us deserve.”It’s a way to help vets who land in

court stop a downward spiral that canlead to jail or even suicide. About 22 aday, statistics say.There are about 76 military veter-

ans behind bars in Fairfax any givenday. And many don’t have to be there,decided Penney S. Azcarate, a mili-tary veteran and chief judge of Fair-fax’s General District Court.Most of them suffer from post-trau-

matic stress disorder or a traumaticbrain injury. They are trying to mus-cle through it alone — and failing.So now, when veterans come

through the court on a nonviolentcharge that involves substance abuseand their mental health, they havethe chance to go through a treatmentprogram instead of jail. There areabout 200 similar programs acrossthe country, and most of the vets whograduate from them are thriving.“This docket is no joke,” Azcarate

explained.The veterans have to plead guilty

and sign on to an intense program ofclasses, community service, treat-

ment, therapy and frequent court vis-its. They are assigned veterans whoact as volunteer mentors. Sometimes, Robert Davis, a 72-year-

old Navy veteran of the Vietnam Warexplained, they have to get a littletough and hector them.“My father was a World War I vet-

eran. Alcohol killed him,” Davisexplains. “I can’t see that happenagain.”At the 2 p.m. docket on the Friday

of Memorial Day weekend, the volun-teers in their matching blue shirtsstood beside each of their charges asthe vets stepped to the podium andchecked in. They explained theirprogress, some kvetched a little, theylaid out a plan.The judges — Linder and Azcarate

— offered some words of encourage-ment, nodded and smiled like thera-pists. Some homework was assigned.And when each veteran’s inquisitionwas done, and he exhaled, the court-room erupted in applause.At the back of the courtroom, a vet-

eran quietly shared a confession withme.“I didn’t want to do this. At all,”

said the Marine Corps veteran, whodid two deployments to Afghanistan.He was never in trouble with the lawbefore his time in the military. Nowhe’s facing his third DUI. “I was look-ing at serious jail time, you know?”The veteran, who asked me not to

use his name so his daughter doesn’tread about it, had to tell the judgeabout his progress with his drinking,about getting treatment for PTSD,about his will to get up and live thatregular, suburban life every morning.“All these people spilling their guts?

That wasn’t for me,” he said.He’s coming around.“It’s opening my eyes, though. I’m

starting to think I do probably have,you know, PTSD.”If he hadn’t met the judge’s

requirements that week? He could goback to jail.And if he does meet all the require-

ments and graduates?I’ll let Steven Daniel tell you what

happens then.“I’ve got a second chance at life,”

said the 57-year-old former paratroop-er who on Friday celebrated beingone of the first two graduates of theprogram. “I lost about 20 years. Butnow I have the chance to get some ofthat back. I got back in touch with myson. Found out I’ve got grandkids.”The courtroom was packed Friday

for Daniel’s final appearance, his lastconfessional.Marshall Williams, the senior

enlisted adviser to the secretary ofDefense, was there to give an upliftingaddress at the graduation. Then hedecided to offer a confession of hisown.Last year, his wife begged him to be

tested to find out if he has PTSD.He didn’t think he did but finally

made an appointment.The doctor told him that if PTSD

were football, his brain was the SuperBowl.All along, Marshall thought what

he was doing was normal.It’s normal, he figured, to jump up

and scan the perimeter every time acar passed his house.It’s totally normal, he thought, that

his son won’t go near his face whenhe’s sleeping, fearing how he’ll reactif he’s accidently awakened. Or tomake everyone in the family freeze inplace while he does a full scan of thehouse if a single object is moved justan inch.“So now, I’m always telling people:

Seek Treatment. Seek Treatment.Seek treatment.”On this Memorial Day, we honored

our war dead. We can honor the livingby helping our veterans get the helpthey need.

Ardagh HQ moving to FishersArdagh Group, which

has glass container plantsin Dunkirk, Winchester,and Marion, is moving itsregional headquarters toFishers from its currentlocation in Muncie.The Luxembourg-based

glass and metal containercompany has 19,000employees globally andoperates 15 glass plantsand seven metal manufac-turing plants in the U.S. Ithas four regional head-quarters in the U.S.The move from Muncie

will involve 200 employeesnow working out of officeson South MacedoniaStreet. It’s expected thatthe Muncie office willclose by the end of theyear.Ardagh, which traces its

roots to a bottle-makingcompany in Ireland, hasgrown dramatically overthe past several years byacquisitions.It acquired the Dunkirk

plant, which had been partof Saint-Goblin’s VeralliaNorth America division,in 2013. About a year earli-er, it acquired the Win-chester plant, which hadbeen part of AnchorGlass. Those acquisitionswere delayed for somemonths by federal regula-tors concerned aboutwhether the growth wouldreduce competition in theglass container busines inthe U.S.This spring the compa-

ny announced plans toissue $4.5 billion in so-called “junk bonds” tohelp finance the acquisi-tion of several can manu-facturing plants inEurope.Ardagh operates in 89

countries and reports

annual revenue of 4.7 bil-lion Euros.

In spotlightContinuing efforts by

POET to develop cellulosicethanol are the focus of anarticle in the May issue ofScientific American.POET, parent company

of POET Biorefining-Port-land, has been at the fore-

front of Project Liberty,which has invested hun-dreds of millions of pri-vate and public funds inhopes of developingadvanced biofuels.Jeff Broin, chief execu-

tive officer of POET, toldthe magazine he’s stilloptimistic about the proj-ect. “We’re processingabout 770 tons a day ofcorn stover — basicallythe leftovers from thecornfield — into ethanol(at Emmetsburg, Iowa).(It’s) one of the first plantsin the world to do that, sowe’re pretty excited.”

To date, Project Libertyhas required an invest-ment of an estimated $275million by POET, its Dutchpartner Royal DSM, theDepartment of Energy,and the state of Iowa.“One big secret to mak-

ing it all work is theadvanced biofuel refin-ery’s location right next toa conventional cornethanol plant, whichmakes ethanol from thestarch in corn kernels.That facility is roughlyhalf the size of its cellu-losic fuel neighbor, costsless than half as much to

build and run, and pro-duces twice as muchethanol. It can use the left-over lignin and biodigest-ed methane from the cellu-losic facility as fuel for dis-tillation and otherprocesses,” wrote Scientif-ic American’s David Biel-lo.

is part of a pilot projectthat will play a significantrole in I&M’s use of thesun to provide energy,”said Paul Chodak III, pres-ident and chief operatingofficer of I&M, in a pre-pared statement. “I&Malready uses wind, waterand nuclear energy to gen-erate half our power.”The new plant is one of

four being developed byI&M. The Deer Creek plant

near Marion has been inoperation since 2015, andwork has already begunon plants at Twin Branchand Olive, both in St.Joseph County, Indiana.Together the four plants

will have the ability topower 2,000 homes.

Continued from page 10LeFevre will race out of lane

three today flanked by Warni-mont in lane four and Urban inlane two. He will need to beat justone of his fellow competitors toearn a state medal.“I’ll have a fresh set of legs

tomorrow, which will help,” saidLeFevre, who ran in the prelimi-naries of the 100 dash and the4x200 relay prior to his race inthe 200 Friday. “I’ll have to reallyfocus on recovery and focus on

giving it everything I’ve got eventhough I’m fresh.“I want to feel just as bad after-

wards, because that is a goodthing.”LeFevre also ran to a school-

record of 11.17 seconds in thepreliminaries of the 100 dash,falling just short of a spot intoday’s finals. He was 10th, com-ing in 0.02 seconds behind ninth-place Andrew George of St.Thomas Aquinas.He broke his previous mark of

11.22 seconds, also set at Troy ashe won the regional title.After three quality runs for his

freshman speedster Friday,coach Nick Kallas is looking for-ward to today’s finals.“Composure,” he said, identi-

fying the key to LeFevre’s suc-cess. “He is able to keep his com-posure and focus on one race at atime. He didn’t have a bad racetoday at all. Good 100, solid 4x2,and then he comes back in the200 knowing this his last shot to

make a final and he executed itperfectly.”Fellow freshman Cassy Martin

competed in the preliminaries ofthe girls 400 dash Friday. She fin-ished sixth in her heat and 13thoverall in 1 minute, 1.01 seconds.Wes Wenning, Tanner Koch,

Caleb Martin and LeFevre werealso 13th in the 4x200 relay in1:32.98. Tribe junior TylerAcheson finished 15th in theshot pot with a toss of 44 feet, 11¾ inches.

Continued from page 1Newark Catholic broke a

3-3 tie in the top of the fifthinning, during which TylerYork hit an RBI double offFort Recovery starter NickThwaits. With runners onsecond and third, JordanMumey laid down asqueeze bunt that reliefpitcher Jackson Hobbs hadtrouble fielding. CalebClagget scored on the playto make it 5-3 Green Wave,who then scored two moreruns on a throwing error.Nick Cavinee (three) and

Jon Erhard (two) both hadmulti-hit games. The GreenWave had a hit from everyspot in the lineup but theircleanup hitter.“They had the leadoff

hitter on six out of theseven times, and when youdo that, that increases thechances of scoring byabout 60 percent,” FRHScoach Jerry Kaup said.Thwaits didn’t pitch

poorly; the Green Wavesimply caught up to hisfastball and put it in play.

The FRHS sophomoreflamethrower touched ashigh as 88 MPH on theradar gun. He lasted 4 1/3innings and gave up sixruns — three earned — oneight hits. He struck outfour, walked three and wasable to get out of a coupleof jams.Newark Catholic had

runners on the cornerswith no outs in the top ofthe second inning butdidn’t get any runs. Duringthe fourth, the Green Wavehad runners on first andsecond with two outs whenThwaits struck out JackWollenburg as the defend-ing champs threatened tobreak the 3-3 tie.“He threw well,” Kaup

said. “He threw well, wejust didn’t give him enoughsupport in the back-ground.”Thwaits had the cushion

too, thanks to an effectivefirst inning by the Tribe.He led off the home half

of the first inning with asingle through the left side,

and moved to second on asacrifice bunt by CadeWendel. Jacob Homandrove him in with a doubledown the left field line,Hunter Boughman hit anRBI single and Homan slidhead first into home aheadof a throw that NCHScatcher Mitch Lohr could-n’t snag.Kaup was happy with the

start, being able to jump onthe Green Wave, who hadonly given up one run intheir previous six postsea-son games.“We were,” he said. “We

got two runs with two outsand we were able to get ontop of them, which isimportant in a ball game.“But we gave it back. We

just gave it back.”Newark Catholic

responded with three runsin the top of the thirdinning thanks to an errorand a two-run single byCavinee.Fort Recovery tied it up

in the home half of theframe on an RBI single by

Hobbs. The Indians had thechance to plate a couplemore, but aggressive baserunning got players thrownout at third and at home.In the fourth inning,

Chase Bruns drew a one-out walk and Will Homanwalked after brother Rosspopped out, but Thwaits —he had half of the Tribe’ssix hits — bounced out tothe second baseman.Then the Green Wave

came to bat in the fifth andtook the lead for good,marking an upsetting endto the Tribe’s season in thestate semifinal once again.“It is hard to get here,”

Kaup said. “We are happyto be here but we are goingto be disappointed aboutthis one. We are going tofeel like we gave this oneaway.”“We were in it the entire

time I think,” said seniorKyle Schroer. “But then thefour-run inning took thewind out of us. We mademistakes and they capital-ized.”

And for the players, theseniors who reached thefinal four in consecutiveyears, it is a memory theywill have for a lifetime.“I don’t know what to say

but it’s been a lot of fun,”said Ross Homan. Hesmiled as he echoed thestatement to his teammatesin the hitting cage under

the stands. “It’s stuff youtell your kids.”“It is special,” Schroer

added. “It is extremely hardto get to Huntington Parktwo years in a row. It’sextremely tough. For thisteam, to be where we werefive years ago, to come heretwice in a row is pretty spe-cial.”

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewCOLUMBUS, Ohio — The

Tribe was hoping for a differentoutcome.The venue, the location and

the opponent were the same.And the machine that is the

Green Wave will be playing foryet another state title.

The Fort Recovery HighSchool baseball team allowedfour unearned runs Friday in a7-3 loss to the Newark CatholicGreen Wave in the Division IVstate semifinal at HuntingtonPark.The Indians (22-10) had been

in this situation before. Theylost 4-0 to the Green Wave (23-10)

in this game last year. With dif-ferent expectations, the loss tothe defending state championwas a bitter pill to swallow.“It is a lot tougher being my

last ball game,” said FRHS sen-ior Ross Homan, who was one ofsix Tribe players held hitless.Fort Recovery had six hits com-pared to 11 for the Green Wave,

who advance to the state cham-pionship game at 7 p.m. tonightagainst the Triad Cardinals,who defeated Cuyahoga Heights6-0. “We respect them,” he said. “It

is a good team. We made mis-takes and we’re going to pay forit.”
