A way to do that is to not only allow residents the opportunity to ride in a plane, but to fly it themselves. For the last few months, Port- land Municipal Airport has been striving toward that goal, offering flight instruction for the first time in about five years. “Flight instruction, it kind of is the entry level and intro- duction to somebody learning about aviation,” said airport manager Hal Tavzel, who went on his first flight in Louisiana at age 17 and began lessons a year later. “When people are educated, it develops interest in flying.” Portland Board of Aviation had expressed an interest in offering instruction again, as it had been years since Miller Aviation discontinued the serv- ice following the death of for- mer owner Dave Miller. Tavzel discussed the possibil- ity at a board meeting early this year, but had several deals to secure a plane fall through. However, he met with Fort Recovery resident Jeff Roess- ner, who already had a mostly- unused plane stored at they air- port, and they were able to come to a rental agreement. Now, eight students are tak- ing flight lessons. One of those is Jeff ’s son, Jason, and anoth- er is Aaron Vaughn, who teach- es fifth grade at General Shanks Elementary School in Portland. “I got up there and I thought, ‘This would be so much fun,’” said Vaughn of a flight he took with a friend a few months ago. “It’s just a different perspective of everything. “I just thought it was an amazing thing to be able to do.” See F Fl li ig gh ht t page 2 Taking flight Portland airport is offering pilot training By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN Associated Press PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — Hurricane Patricia roared ashore in southwestern Mexico as a Category 5 storm Friday, bringing lashing rains, surging seas and cyclonic winds hours after it peaked as the strongest storm ever recorded. Fore- casters said it had poten- tial to do “catastrophic” damage. There were early reports of flooding and landslides, but no word on fatalities or major dam- age. TV news reports from the coast showed some toppled trees and lamp- posts and inundated streets. Patricia’s center made landfall in a relatively low-populated stretch of the Jalisco state coast near Cuixmala. The near- est significant city, Man- zanillo, was about 55 miles southeast and outside the extent of the storm’s hur- ricane-force winds. The U.S. National Hur- ricane Center in Miami said the storm that had 200 mph winds earlier in the day had weakened some, but remained a very dangerous Category 5 hur- ricane with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph at landfall. Patricia’s projected path headed over a moun- tainous region dotted with isolated hamlets that are at risk for dangerous mudslides and flash floods. The storm was expected to rapidly weak- en over the mountains and dissipate today, but was still capable of soak- ing the region with heavy rain. Residents and tourists hunkered down in shel- ters and homes across a coastal stretch dotted with sleepy fishing villages and gleaming resorts, including Manzanillo and the popular beach city of Puerto Vallarta. See S Sl la am ms s page 2 Storm slams into Mexico By ERICA WERNER AP Congressional Correspondent WASHINGTON — Rep. Paul Ryan, on his way to becoming speaker of the House and second in line to the presidency, says Con- gress must change its ways. “We are not solving the coun- try’s problems; we are only adding to them,” he says. The 45-year-old House Ways and Means Committee chairman pledges to change that dynamic if selected speaker in elections next week. He is a lock for the job now that he’s secured support from all factions of the House GOP, includ- ing the hardline Freedom Caucus. “We have an opportunity to turn the page, to start with a clean slate, and to rebuild what has been lost,” Ryan, the 2012 Republican vice pres- idential nominee, said in a letter to fellow Republicans late Thursday that formally announced his candi- dacy. “We can make the House a more open and inclusive body — one where every member can con- tribute to the legislative process.” Awaiting him will be a mess of trouble: a Nov. 3 deadline to raise the federal borrowing limit or face an unprecedented default, and a Dec. 11 deadline to act on must-pass spending legislation or court a gov- ernment shutdown. Despite initial reluctance, Ryan told colleagues he was excited for the opportunity at hand. “I know you’re willing to work hard and get it done, and I think this moment is ripe for real reform,” he wrote. “I believe we are ready to move forward as a one, united team. “And I am ready and eager to be our speaker.” Ryan initially was an unwilling candidate for speaker, dragged into the contest under pressure from GOP leaders who saw him as their only hope of bringing order to a House GOP careening out of control.

Defense attorney Katharine Liell said 19-year-old Triceten Bickford was drunk and may have had medical issues when he attacked the woman Oct. 17 as she sat at an outdoor cafe table with her 9-year-old daughter. Liell said the Fort Wayne, Indi- ana, man is “horrified” by accounts of that attack and is grateful the 47-year-old woman wasn’t badly hurt. “First and foremost he’s absolutely horrified by what peo- ple said he did that evening. He was so upset when he was informed of what the witnesses indicated he did that he became physically ill. He’s not that kind of kid,” she said. Bickford has been charged with multiple felony charges, including intimidation, strangu- lation and battery, in the attack outside a Turkish cafe in Bloom- ington, about 50 miles southwest of Indianapolis.

Lawyer: IU attacker is ‘horrified’ by actions
Continued from page 1In Puerto Vallarta, resi-
dents had reinforcedhomes with sandbags andshop windows with boardsand tape, and hotels rolledup beachfront restaurants.At a Red Cross shelter,
some 90 people waited anx-iously in the heavy, humidair, including senior citi-zens in wheelchairs andyoung children snuggledbetween their parents onmattresses on the floor.Carla Torres and her
family sought refuge therein the afternoon, fearful ofwhat Patricia might do toher home just two blocksfrom a river in an area vul-nerable to high winds.“Here we are with those
who can give us help,” Tor-res said.Patricia formed sudden-
ly Tuesday as a tropicalstorm and quicklystrengthened to a hurri-cane. Within 30 hours ithad zoomed to a record-beating Category 5 storm,catching many off guardwith its rapid growth.By Friday it was the
most powerful hurricaneon record in the WesternHemisphere, with a centralpressure of 880 millibarsand maximum sustainedwinds of 200 mph (325kph), according to theNational Hurricane Cen-ter.Patricia’s power while
still out at sea was compa-
rable to that of TyphoonHaiyan, which left morethan 7,300 dead or missingin the Philippines twoyears ago, according to theU.N.’s World Meteorologi-cal Organization. Morethan 4 million people weredisplaced and over 1 mil-lion houses were destroyedor damaged in 44 provincesin the central Visayasregion, a large cluster ofislands.Mexican officials
declared a state of emer-gency in dozens of munici-palities in Colima, Nayaritand Jalisco states, andschools were closed. Manyresidents bought suppliesahead of Patricia’s arrival.Authorities opened hun-dreds of shelters andannounced plans to shutoff electricity as a safetyprecaution.According to the 2010
census, there were morethan 7.3 million inhabi-tants in Jalisco state andmore than 255,000 in Puer-to Vallarta municipality.There were more than650,000 in Colima state, andmore than 161,000 in Man-zanillo.One of the worst Pacific
hurricanes to ever hit Mex-
ico slammed into the sameregion, in Colima state, inOctober 1959, killing atleast 1,500 people, accord-ing to Mexico’s NationalCenter for Disaster Preven-tion.Earlier in the day, Rober-
to Ramirez, director ofMexico’s National WaterCommission, whichincludes the nation’s mete-orological service, saidPatricia’s winds could bepowerful enough to liftautomobiles, destroyhomes not sturdily builtwith cement and steel, anddrag anyone caught out-side.A steady rain fell in
Puerto Vallarta in theevening, but there was nosign yet of the storm’s
vicious winds. Streetswere deserted except forpolice patrolling slowlywith their emergencylights on. Civil protectionofficials warned that pasthurricanes have filled thecity’s streets with water,sand and flying projectiles.Wendi Mozingo of
Austin, Texas, and six fam-ily members sat on foldingchairs in a shelter afterbeing ordered out of theirbeachfront vacation rentalhome by managers of theproperty. They brought afew changes of clothes andleft everything else behind.The family was sup-
posed to depart Puerto Val-larta on Tuesday, but now,Mozingo said, “We’re leav-ing as soon as we can.”

Continued from page 1Training starts with the basics,
beginning with ground trainingthat can be done online. Thatincludes learning all of the partsof the plane, from the wings andpropeller on the outside to all ofthe gauges and controls on theinside.When students first get in the
air with an instructor, they learnabout basic maneuvers such asturns, climbs and descents. Thencomes flying — taking off, land-ing and everything in between —first with assistance, and eventu-ally with the flight instructordoing less and less.Students then move on to taking
off and landing alone in the plane,and then to their first solo flight.“Cross countries,” flights of 50
nautical miles or more, with aninstructor follow, and finally thenew pilots complete those longflights on their own. Vaughn hasalready taken one Federal Avia-tion Administration writtenexam, and will have another FAAoral and flight exam later in histraining.The most important part of the
whole process, which should takesix months to a year depending
on how often a student is avail-able for lessons, is making surenew pilots are taking the properprecautions, said instructorJustin Ames.“No. 1 is always safety, in any-
thing you do in flying, whether itbe preflight … taking off andlanding, being observant ofwhere the other traffic is,” addedAmes, who worked for an aircraftdealership in Kokomo beforecoming to fly for Tavzel’s SonriseAviation about a year ago. “Andjust overall safety when you’reflying the airplane.”Vaughn, who has been taking
lessons for about two monthsnow, said the area Ames hashelped him the most is just inunderstanding the plane. Beingin the aircraft in person, henoted, is much different than see-ing one online or in a book.There is plenty of adjusting to
do to, because so little in an air-plane equates to vehicles mostare used to operating.“You’re using your feet to move
the airplane, just taxi it,” saidVaughn, who hopes to use his fly-ing skills to take his family onvacation to Tennessee, to visithis stepsons at college and even-
tually to travel to watch histriplet daughters (now eighthgraders) play college volleyball.“You’ve almost got to put yourhands under your butt and justnot think of it that way becauseit has nothing to do with whatyou’re used to doing with a car.“There’s so many things that
are new.”Getting involved in flight les-
sons is as simple as calling theairport at (260) 729-5233 or Amesat (765) 473-2525.There is a lease fee of $60 for
the plane, plus a fuel cost ofabout $30 per hour of flight time.The instructor’s fee is $30 perhour as well.Students have no commitment,
meaning they could take one les-son and decide it’s not for them.Or, as Tavzel hopes, that first les-son could spark a lifelong inter-est in flying, with the potential ofa student eventually buying anaircraft, becoming a member ofthe airport board or making avia-tion their life’s work.“Eventually, one of those per-
sons might pursue a professionalcareer,” said Tavzel. “Likemyself, I started at a small air-port. It starts right here.”

Few rights are more preciousto Americans than the right topetition the government withgrievances.It’s right up there with the free-
dom of speech and freedom ofreligion.So when some folks in Redkey
concerned about rising sewagerates decided to launch a petitionto put a referendum on theNovember ballot, they were act-ing in a longstanding Americantradition. But, at the same time,their petition was fundamentallyflawed.And voters would be wise to
reject it when casting their bal-lots.
How is it flawed?In at least three ways.First of all, the petition calls
for transferring governingauthority over Redkey’s waterand sewage rates to the IndianaUtility Regulatory Commission.Trouble is, the IURC has no
statutory authority over sewagerates. Those are strictly a local
matter to be set at the discretionof the town council. The IURCwill have no control over them,no matter how the referendumvote turns out.Second, while the intent of
the petitioners was to protestabout rising utility rates, theprocess of taking water rateapproval through the IURC addssignificant legal and accountingcosts. It makes things moreexpensive, rather than lessexpensive. That’s why the Indiana Gen-
eral Assembly gave cities andtowns the option several yearsago of opting out of the IURC’sauthority.
And third, because the peti-tion lumps water and sewagerates together when the IURChas no authority over sewagerates, the whole thing couldend up in an expensive legaltangle.Is all of this confusing?Yes, it is.It’s also ironic, because —
thanks to some remarkablegrants and federal loans — Red-key is ready to embark on avitally important upgrade toits sewer system with local res-idents only sharing a fractionof the cost.Will the town’s share of the
cost send sewage rates up?
Yes, it will.But the bulk of the cost will
be borne by federal grants andlong-term, low-interest loans,and the net result — an infra-structure improvement thatRedkey has needed for decades— is a game-changer for thecommunity.It’s safe to say that without
this sewer system upgrade,Redkey’s future would havebeen dim. With the projectgoing forward, the future looksbright.The IURC-control resolution
complicates that a bit, but a“no” vote by Redkey voters canget things back on track. — J.R.

Letters tothe Editor
By KATHRYNE RUBRIGHTThe Commercial ReviewWell, last week I said Jim
Webb and Lincoln Chafee shoulddrop out of the race for the Dem-ocratic nomination, and theyhave.So, just in case I’ve gained
some magical power to writerequests in this column thatbecome true, here are some morethings that would be great:•For Ben Carson to drop out of
the Republican race.•For my dishes to do them-
selves. Cooking is great. Clean-ing up isn’t.•For Mike Huckabee to drop
out of the Republican race.•For someone to figure out how
to make bacon-flavored chips,popcorn, etc., not taste terrible.
In theory, these things might begood; in reality, the pseudo-baconflavor doesn’t resemble baconclosely enough to be enjoyable.•For Ted Cruz to drop out of
the Republican race.•For people to show up to vote
this year, and all the years afterthat. None of this less-than-halfturnout nonsense, before whichpeople claim they won’t make adifference and after which peo-
ple who didn’t vote complainanyway. Stop that. •For Jeb Bush to drop out of
the Republican race.•For me to win the lottery.
That’s how these wish listsalways work, right? Might as wellthrow it on here. Don’t worry; I’dkeep working. I just might not bedoing my own dishes.•For the eventual Democratic
nominee to make Martin O’Mal-ley their running mate. Becauseit won’t be him, but he knowswhat he’s doing.•For packs of motorcycles to
not act as if they’re one unit atfour-way stops. It’s fine, I wantedto wait for all the bikes and notthe first one or two.•For the U.S. to be as surprised
by school shootings one day as
Sweden was by a school stabbingattack this week.•For spiders to never again
enter a place I live.•For Bobby Jindal, George
Pataki, Rick Santorum and Lind-sey Graham to stop pretendingthey’re really in the Republicanrace.•For world peace, no world
hunger, everyone to be tolerant,etc. All those things youngwomen are supposed to advocatefor when they want to be MissAmerica (which, for the record, Ido not).•For Marco Rubio to drop out
of the Republican race.•For people to think — really
think — before they open theirmouths or click “share” on Face-book.
•For Carly Fiorina to dropout of the Republican race.•For the Olympics to come to
a U.S. city that I’d want to go toand at a point when I’d have thetime and money to do so. I don’tcare about sports the rest ofthe time, but that would becool. •For Donald Trump to drop
out of the Republican race …eventually. He can stick arounda while for the entertainmentvalue and to complicate thingsfor the other Republicans.I’m probably missing some
items that would be delightful.But I wouldn’t want to get toounreasonably greedy.Oh, and;•For sarcasm to transfer bet-
ter in print.
By ED DELANEYSpecial to TheStatehouseFile.comAs a member of the Indi-
ana House Ways andMeans Committee, Iremain concerned withwhat our state budget doesto fund education, particu-larly in support of our tra-ditional public schools,which serve nearly 94 per-cent of our students.I asked the Legislative
Services Agency to ana-lyze how we have allocatedfunds to education overallfrom 2007 to 2015, as wellas individually for tradi-tional schools (school cor-porations), charterschools, virtual charterschools and schoolsaccepting vouchers. Thisreport is available onlineat http://indiana-housedemocrats.org/teacher-shortage, so everyoneis free to analyze this dataon their own.
What do we learn fromthis report?1. From fiscal year 2009
through fiscal year 2015,state-directed funding fortraditional schools fell by atotal of more than $3 billionand has yet to return to fis-cal year 2009 levels. Some ofthis shortfall was made upby the limited federal stim-ulus program.2. During the same peri-
od, the cumulative supportfor charter schools rose bymore than $539 million.Voucher support went fromnothing to more than $113million a year.
3. All of this activity hascaused a small shift inattendance for the periodfrom fiscal year 2009 to fis-cal year 2015. Traditionalschool attendance fell from987,000 to 952,000 over theperiod. The charters had agrowth in attendance from16,500 to some 25,000. Virtu-al charters went from zeroto 8,400. Vouchers wentfrom supporting no stu-dents to supporting some29,000.4. Despite the attendance
shifts within the four cate-gories of publicly fundededucation, 93.9 percent ofour publicly funded stu-dents presently are still intraditional schools. Onemay ask what message theGeneral Assembly is send-ing when it cuts funding for93.9 percent of our studentsand dramatically raisesfunding for the remaining 6percent.
This information showsa dramatic drop in educa-tion funding and a shift ofemphasis from the 94 per-cent of our students in tra-ditional schools. I believethat the public and aspiringteachers sense this shift.They have reacted.By looking at informa-
tion from Indiana PublicRetirement System, thestate pension organization,you can learn a great dealabout teacher age, teacherpay, rates of retirement andother information tied toparticular districts. Hereare a few key data points Ilearned that impact schoolsand teachers.The demographic
assumptions used in ourpension system tell us 35percent of new teachersdon’t stay in the professionfor a second year.INPRS advises that the
average years of teaching
have fallen steadily from2007 to 2015, declining from15.6 years of service to 14.1years. Over the same peri-od, the number of activeteachers in the pension sys-tem fell from 75,833 to68,734. Of this lower num-ber, some 10,400 are expect-ed to retire over the nextfive years. They will needreplacements.What are the conclusions
that can be drawn from thisdata?Our state has cut support
for K-12 education. It hasdiverted money to threenew experiments. I believethis has been dispiriting tofuture teachers and confus-ing to the public.People rely on institu-
tions when choosing a job.What institution can a newteacher look to for support?The General Assembly andits budget? A charter schoolwith an unelected board or
a for-profit operator? Aschool corporation that issubject to the whims of thelegislature on issues of pay,testing, financial supportand access to property taxrevenue?I believe the time has
come to take two criticalsteps.First, we must start to
rebuild our state’s centraleducational institution: ourpublic school corporations.Second, we need to put amoratorium on new educa-tional experiments, so wehave the time to examinewhat less money and morechaos have accomplished.

Farm auction tobenefit EarlhamBy LOUISE RONALDPalladium-ItemRICHMOND, Ind. (AP)
— Before Ivan Druley diedin 1998, he and his wife,Pauline, decided to leavetheir family farm andlongtime residence toEarlham College.The couple’s only child
had died in infancy andboth felt strong ties totheir alma mater. IvanDruley graduated fromEarlham in 1929 andPauline Druley two yearslater.“I don’t think that was
any challenge for them todecide to (leave the farmto the college),” said for-mer Cambridge Citybanker Verne Clingen-peel, who became personalrepresentative of PaulineDruley’s estate upon herdeath in November 2014.The farm — which had
belonged to Pauline Dru-ley’s family for more than100 years — went to thecollege with the under-standing that it would besold.In 1820, Pauline Dru-
south of Milton andcleared about 65 of themfor his hog farm. The landcame to Pauline Druleythrough her mother, AliceBeeson Kniese, and theDruleys lived there formore than 50 years.The property, now about
315 acres, will be sold Nov.5 by Schrader Auction.Steve Slonaker of Cen-
terville, senior broker andsales manager withSchrader, said the landalong Indiana 1 south ofBentonville Road shouldbe familiar to many as“peaceful and pretty farmsetting.” The property will be
sold in six tracts, one ofwhich contains the updat-ed circa 1870 farmhouseand a pole barn. There area total of 294 acres forcrops and 22 acres of for-est.Slonaker declined to
comment on the marketvalue of the land. Noappraisal was required forthe sale.“We’re going to see,” he
said about how muchmoney the auction mightraise.Avis Stewart, vice presi-
dent for academicadvancement and commu-nity relations at the col-lege, is optimistic.“We anticipate it’ll be a
significant gift,” he said.Proceeds from the sale
will go to the upkeep ofthe Athletics and WellnessCenter on campus. Imme-diate plans are to resur-face the green floors of amulti-sport practice roomand the indoor track. Theremaining funds will gointo an endowment for theongoing maintenance ofthe center and other cam-pus athletic facilities.The Druleys were long-
time supporters of sportsat Earlham, where Ivanwas captain of the 1928football team and letteredin track and basketball.His plaque in the college’sathletics hall of fame saysIvan played every minuteof every football game fortwo years.In honor of the gift, the
performance gymnasiumin the center will benamed for the Druleys.The indoor track and theAthletics Hall of Fameroom already bear theirnames.

Continued from page 10The Patriots (4-6) went
five-and-out on their nextdrive, and Gatewood scam-pered 67 yards on the ensu-ing play for the Marauders’third touchdown of thequarter. He caught a 35-yard TD pass from JoshCoons on Mount Vernon’snext possession, andTrevor Bond’s point afterattempt made it 28-0 infavor of the home teamwith 23.6 seconds remain-ing in the quarter.Seifert and Coons both
had touchdown runs in thesecond quarter — Seifertfrom 32 yards out andCoons from the 8-yard line— as the Marauders took a42-0 lead into halftime.“Our wing offense has
been getting better eachweek,” Armstrong said.“It’s tough to stop if youdon’t see it very often.We’ve got some pretty goodbacks who were able to
break some tackles and gothe distance.”In all, 11 players ran the
football for Mount Vernon,which averaged 10.3 yardsper carry.And in the first half, the
Marauders’ defense wasjust as successful as theoffense.Jay County punted on
each of its first threedrives, turned the ball overon downs once and threwan interception.“Our defense has been
good most of the season,”Armstrong said. MountVernon allowed just 139yards in the first half. “Wekeep waiting for them toactually just dominate. Wekeep giving up big playshere and there.”Some of those big plays
came in the second half,with JCHS senior DrewHuffman racking up 140 ofhis team-high 181 rushingyards. Out of his 18 total
carries, eight — includingsix after halftime — werefor eight or more yards.Cole Stigleman, a sopho-more who finished with 51yards on 10 carries, alsohad two rushes go for 17yards each.Huffman, who missed
two games earlier this sea-son with an ankle injury,showed no signs that hewas feeling any pain, find-ing holes for two rushingtouchdowns. He scored latein the third quarter on an8-yard run through theright side, and late in thefourth quarter he brokefree for a 75-yard score.“Drew Huffman is one of
those kids, if you look at afootball program andyou’re going to put a posterup that says ‘Jay Countyfootball,’ he’s one of thekids that should be on theposter,” Millspaugh said.Huffman’s second touch-
down came with less than
a minute to play in thegame, and after MountVernon’s backup quarter-back Robbie Campbelltook a knee on back-to-back plays, the reality setin for the Patriots.The season was over.
Tears were shed. Hugswere given out, and agroup of seven seniors gotdown on one knee in a cir-cle to console each otherlong after their teammateshad left the field.“The thing about that
(senior) class, it is a spe-cial group of kids,”Millspaugh said. “Theywill always have a specialplace in my heart. We’vehad some tough momentsin this program in the lastyear.“Every year is tough. It’s
a lot more enjoyable to getthe equipment out than itis to put it away. When agroup like that plays theirlast game, it hurts."

Continued from page 10St. Henry (5-4, 3-4 MAC) punt-
ed on its next drive, and could-n’t get out of the shadow of itsown goalposts on its final pos-session before halftime. TheIndians continued to stymie thevisitors in the second half, forc-ing a pair of punts and ending acouple of drives on intercep-tions by Will Homan and Tan-ner Koch.Adam LeFevre and Andrew
Stocker combined for a keysack on the Redskins’ final pos-session as their drive stalled ontheir own 26-yard line.St. Henry got all but 30 of its
179 total yards on two plays —an 66-yard end-around pass thatcaught FRHS off guard and an83-yard bomb on which Wen-ning fell down in coverage.Niekamp credited his team
with keeping its poise, evenwhen those big plays put it in ahole.“We just made them fight for
everything, and eventually wewere able to win more of thosebattles,” he said.The focus defensively was to
shut down St. Henry runningback Jesse Niekamp, who waslimited to just 37 yards on 12carries. Paul Stammen led theteam with 40 yards on sixattempts.
Matt Kuess matched Stockerin leading the Tribe defensewith seven tackles.Meanwhile, Fort Recovery
pounded away at the Redskinson offense, handing the ball toKyle Schroer 33 times. Hepicked up 136 yards, and WillHoman added another 88 on 11carries.“I was really happy with the
way our line played,” saidBrent Niekamp. “That was thekey to the game, that we wereable to control the line ofscrimmage on both sides of theball.”St. Henry got its only points
on its second drive after thedeep pass from Mitchel Stam-men to Parker Link put the ballat the 9-yard line. Three playslater, Stammen rolled to his leftand found Collin Mescher inthe end zone for a 7-0 lead.The Indians’ score came on
their next possession.In addition to the running
attack, Caleb Martin completedseven passes for FRHS for 78yards. Three of those went toWenning for 50 yards.Fort Recovery, which likely
clinched a playoff berth withthe win over the Redskins, willfinish its regular season Fridaywith a trip to Versailles (4-5, 3-4MAC).

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewThe Indians have scored plen-
ty of points this year.But defense has also been a
calling card.After giving up a couple of big
plays early Friday night, theTribe defense could not havebeen much better.The Division VII No. 10 Fort
Recovery High School footballteam held St. Henry to just 14yards of offense in the final threequarters, fighting off the Red-skins for an 8-7 victory.
It was a much-needed win forthe Indians, who had lost theirlast two games to Division VI No.1 Marion Local and Division VIINo. 6 Minster after opening 6-0.“I’m just really proud of our
players,” said FRHS coach BrentNiekamp, whose team has threeshutouts this year and is allow-ing just 8.9 points per game. “Tostick together like that in atough game, especially coming
after two losses, and not panicand trust everything and trusteach other and finish the gameright, I’m just terribly proud ofthem.“It was big to get over the
hump of finishing a game likethis and coming out on the rightside. The last two weeks werebattles, and we didn’t play bad,but we didn’t finish things theway that we needed to, and that’swhat we did tonight.”After a long delay because of
an injured St. Henry player atthe 9:28 mark of the second quar-
ter, Fort Recovery (7-2, 5-2 Mid-west Athletic Conference) imme-diately cashed in.Quarterback Caleb Martin
connected with Wes Wenning ona 33-yard touchdown pass to pullthe Tribe to within a point. Butinstead of going for the tie,Niekamp decided to try to takethe lead.Kyle Schroer, a running back,
connected with Jason Roessneron a two-point conversion passfor an 8-7 advantage, and thedefense took care of the rest.

No. 10 Indians fight off St. Henry
By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewFORTVILLE — The Marauders
had a relatively easy time movingthe football in the first half Fri-day.The same was not true for the
Patriots.Unfortunately for the Jay Coun-
ty High School football team, bythe time it was able to push down-field the game was already out ofreach.Mount Vernon ran around, and
at times through, the Jay Countydefense to the tune of 401 rushingyards — 311 in the first half alone— in a 42-14 clubbing of the Patri-ots in the opening round of theClass 4A Sectional 22 tournament.
The Marauders (6-4) advanceto the semifinal at PendletonHeights, which beat Con-nersville 48-32.“We knew they run the double
wing,” said JCHS coach TimMillspaugh, whose team lost inthe first round of the postseasonin each of the last two years. “Itwasn’t anything we didn’t pre-pare for. The thing that is hardabout that is there is so manypeople to sift through.”And one of those players was
Nathan Seifert, who is listed at 6feet, 2 inches tall, 185 pounds butplays much bigger. Seifertracked up 187 yards on just sixcarries with three touchdowns.Two of those were in the
Marauders’ 28-point first quar-ter.“He is a very talented, hard-
working kid,” Mount Vernoncoach Doug Armstrong said.“(He’s) a weight room guy. He’stough for a defense to handle.”Damari Gatewood took the
opening kickoff 45 yards to the JayCounty 40 yard line, and two playslater Seifert ran around the rightend 35 yards for a touchdown.Jay County managed just 19
yards on its first possession of thegame and punted after six plays.Seifert capped off a 63-yard drivewith a 46-yard score, again aroundthe right side after he broke a tack-le at the Jay County 43.

By BRIAN MAHONEYAP Basketball WriterWhen it came time for a
pro coach again, the U.S.basketball team turned tothe one considered theNBA’s best.Gregg Popovich, win-
ner of five NBA champi-onships, will have achance to lead a team toOlympic gold.The San Antonio Spurs
coach was hired Fridayto replace MikeKrzyzewski as the U.S.basketball coach follow-ing the 2016 Olympics, ajob he never knew hewould get despite hisundeniable place incoaching history.“I can’t imagine having
this opportunity,”Popovich said at a pressconference in San Anto-nio. “It’s still sinking in... but I love it.”
Popovich will take overstarting with 2017 train-ing camp and lead theAmericans into the 2019Basketball World Cupand 2020 Olympics if theyqualify.Krzyzewski has led the
Americans since 2005.When USA Basketballchairman Jerry Colange-lo decided to tab a procoach, there was no ques-tion where to look.“I had a short list,”
Colangelo said. “It start-ed and ended with Pop.”LeBron James, who has
played in three Olympics,called Popovich the bestcoach in the world.“Team USA is in good
hands with him,” Jamessaid. “It was in goodhands with Coach K. It’salmost like ‘The Godfa-ther.’ We hand it off toMichael Corleone now.”

By RACHEL COHENAP Sports WriterThe NFL, already a $10
billion a year business,keeps looking to grow evenbigger.Sunday’s experiment in
streaming a game fromLondon is testing out someof those potential new rev-enue sources.The matchup between
the Buffalo Bills and Jack-sonville Jaguars will beavailable only throughYahoo outside of the teams’home cities — not just with-in the United States butaround the world. Kickoffis at 9:30 a.m. EDT, thoughthe more relevant timezones may be locales suchas Beijing and Moscow.The game takes place in
the afternoon in WesternEurope and will be at leastpartly in prime time in theemerging markets of East-ern Europe and Asia. Out-side the U.S. is where theNFL can still add huge
numbers of fans and theprofits that come with that.Back in the U.S., it’s safe
to say that plenty of exist-ing fans would watch anNFL game — even onebetween two teams with acombined postseasondrought of 22 years — atany hour of the day ornight. The occasionalmorning kickoff allows theleague to create a new timeslot to draw viewers in theU.S.And now they’ll watch
the action in a new way. TheNFL wants to figure outwhether there’s significantmoney to be made in dis-tributing games “over thetop” — streaming themdirectly to fans.Yahoo and other tech
companies such as Googleand Apple could be futurepartners in how the leaguebroadcasts the sport, to goalong with its traditionaldeals with the televisionnetworks.
