It was the North’s fifth atom- ic test and the second in eight months. Abe told reporters that the two leaders talked by telephone and agreed to cooperate closely in response to the nuclear test, including seeking tougher U.N. Security Council sanctions. “We also agreed that we must take a different approach in responding to the new level of threat,” Abe said. “In response to this reckless act, interna- tional society must work together resolutely.” South Korea’s president said the detonation, which Seoul estimated was the North’s biggest-ever in explosive yield, was an act of “fanatic recklessness” and a sign that leader Kim Jong Un “is spiraling out of control.” President Barack Obama condemned the test and said the U.S. would never accept the country as a nuclear power. North Korea’s boast of a technologically game- changing nuclear test defied both tough interna- tional sanctions and long- standing diplomatic pres- sure to curb its nuclear ambitions. It will raise seri- ous worries in many world capitals that North Korea has moved another step closer to its goal of a nuclear-armed missile that could one day strike the U.S. mainland. Seoul vowed to boost psy- chological warfare efforts by increasing the number of propaganda loudspeak- ers along the rivals’ border, the world’s most heavily armed, and the number of hours of anti-North Kore- an broadcasts. See T Th hr re ea at t page 6 Tests display greater threat Strong season INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indi- ana is adopting new risk assess- ments to determine when people who have been arrested should be required to post bail while awaiting trial. Under the rules the Indiana Supreme Court announced Wednesday most arrestees only would have to post money before being released if they’re deemed a flight or public safety risk. The changes take place imme- diately in nine Indiana counties that were part of a pilot pro- gram, but will expand to all Indiana courts by January 2018. They don’t apply to people charged with murder or trea- son, or those who were on pro- bation, parole or pre-trial release on another charge when charged with a new crime. Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush said the “prompt release” of arrestees who do not pose a public safety risk is associated with lower county jail expenses and fewer instances where a person returns to criminal behavior. “The reforms are designed to provide for public safety and protect the presumption of innocence,” Rush said in a state- ment. The new rules are based on recommendations by a commit- tee of defense attorneys, proba- tion officers, lawmakers, trial court judges and others the high court created in 2013 to study the state’s bail system. Larry Landis, executive direc- tor of the Indiana Public Defender Council, called the changes a significant improve- ment to the current system. He said Indiana’s existing bail sys- tem confines people awaiting trial “if they cannot afford to post bail even if they are neither a flight risk nor a public safety threat.” “The new rule will reduce unnecessary, unjust, and expen- sive pretrial confinement with- out jeopardizing public safety,” he said in a statement. The changes are effective immediately in Allen, Bartholomew, Hamilton, Hen- dricks, Jefferson, Monroe, St. Joseph, Starke and Tipton coun- ties.

In its first year of operation, the water park brought in more than 33,000 visitors and made profit of nearly $9,000. By CALEB BAUER The Commercial Review The hope was that a new water park would draw crowds the old Portland Pool had not seen in decades. It did not disappoint. Portland Water Park wrapped up its first sea- son Monday, finishing the summer with more then 33,000 visitors to the new facility. It brought in $161,445.92 in total rev- enue, nearly 10 times the total Portland Pool hit in its final year in 2014. “I had no idea we would draw in the traffic that we did,” said water park manager Missy Bader of the 33,826 atten- dees this season. Admission fees accounted for about three quarters $122,899 — of the water park’s revenue, up from $13,188 collected at Port- land Pool in 2014. That resulted in a net profit of $8,839.25. Portland Pool had a net loss of nearly $30,000 in its final year of opera- tion. “If you break even on a public pool, that’s all you can hope for and shoot for,” Portland street and parks superintendent Ryan Myers told Portland Park Board at its meeting Tuesday. “I think we had a pretty successful year for our first year.” The park sold 22,559 general admission tick- ets, 57 individual season passes and 21 ten-day passes. Over the course of the season, the pool admitted 7,949 attendees with family passes. Bader noted that visi- tors made special trips to the facility from as far away as Noblesville and Fort Wayne. The water park reached maximum capacity multiple times throughout the summer, but, Bader added, the water park staff took it in stride. “I have 25 employees that did a wonderful job,” Bader said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better staff.” Prior to Jay School Cor- poration beginning class- es Aug. 11, the park was averaging $1,146.76 per day in admission income. During that same period, it averaged 428 patrons per day. After school started, the number of patrons dropped off significantly, down to an average of 120.

DEAR ABBY: We used to livein a neighborhood where my 13-year-old daughter’s best friend,“Mandy,” still lives. They wouldplay together and visit often andare well-suited in maturity andpersonality. Since we moved,Mandy has been to our newhome (five miles away) a dozentimes. The last several times we have

invited her to come over, she hasbeen unable to, which I com-pletely understand. People arebusy. But recently, I havereceived no response at all fromher mother. (Mandy was invitedto my daughter’s sleepover, andI was not told whether she wascoming or not. She didn’t.) My daughter is heartbroken,

but I feel I have done all I can doto offer a chance for them to gettogether. I have emailed, texted,Facebooked and called and left amessage. I emailed the motherasking if I had offended her, or

if her daughter no longer want-ed to be friends anymore.Mandy’s mom indicated therewas no offense; they just havebeen super-busy. (Our daughtersemail each other several times aweek, so I think they still wouldlike to be friends.) Clearly, I can’t force the

woman to be more responsive,but how should I handle this?And what should I tell mydaughter, who misses her friendso much? — NOT THAT FARAWAY DDEEAARR NNOOTT TTHHAATT FFAARR:: NNoott

By CALEB BAUERThe Commercial ReviewLibertarian presidential candi-

date Gary Johnson got a lot offlack for his flub on Thursdaywhen he responded to an inter-view question on the crisis in theSyrian city of Aleppo by asking,“What is Aleppo?” Well, despite Johnson’s mental

lapse, I hope his already well-pub-licized faux pas brings someattention to the city that has beenravaged for more than four years. The Syrian civil war can some-

times be hard to track, with ever-changing allegiances and inter-vention from outside powers. Itinitially began when pro-democ-racy protests led to a violentcrackdown from Syrian dictatorBashar al-Assad in 2011. Syrians responded by staging

an armed revolt against Assad,led by a loose collection of oppo-sition groups now known as theSyrian opposition forces. The dif-ferent rebel groups ranged fromIslamic hardliners to pro-democ-racy advocates. The simultaneous rise of ISIS,

recruiting members from thehardline rebel groups and from

leftover militants in Iraq, turnedthe Syrian Civil War into a three-way war. Then the Kurds, wholive in autonomous regions in thenorthern areas of Syria and Iraq,joined the fight against ISIS andadded a fourth dimension to analready complex affair. Aleppo, once Syria’s biggest

city, has been the site of thelargest and longest-running bat-tle between Syrian governmentand opposition forces. In late July, Syrian government

forces cut rebel-held easternAleppo off from supplies. Threehundred thousand civilians werecut off as well. Assad’s Syrian government

forces besieging Aleppo arebacked up by Russian airpower,resulting in some of the largestbombing missions since the Viet-

nam War against targets insidethe city. But the problem is, those

airstrikes aren’t targeting strate-gic positions or rebel fighters.Instead, the strikes are indiscrim-inately targeting the 300,000 civil-ians in Aleppo, according to jour-nalists also trapped in the city. Daily, scores of Syrians are

killed and maimed by Syrian andRussian barrel bombs, steeldrums filled with shrapnel andhigh explosives designed to causemaximum damage to a largearea. The most commonly hit tar-gets are bakeries and markets,where crowds congregate to tryand find food amid the siege.But amid this bleak and horri-

fying tragedy, there is a story thatcan inspire hope for the future ofthe Syrian people.A group of unpaid volunteers

patrol the streets of Aleppo, rush-ing toward the sound of explod-ing barrel bombs.They are the Syrian Civil

Defense Force, but they’re morecommonly known as “The WhiteHelmets”. This group of more than 3,000

former bakers, engineers, artists,

students and Syrians from allwalks of life has tasked itselfwith serving as the first respon-ders in a city cut off from theworld. Since the group’s inception in

2013, The White Helmets havesaved more than 60,000 Syriansfrom the rubble of buildingsdestroyed by Russian and Syrianair force bombs. Their motto, “To save one life,

is to save all of humanity,” comesfrom the Islamic Quran, and theWhite Helmets take seriouslytheir promise to put their lives onthe line in order to save as manycivilians as possible.More than 170 of them have

died in the line of duty, manybecause of a new tactic practicedby the Russian and Syrian airforces called a “double tap.”Bombers return to a bombed site15 to 20 minutes later and drop asecond payload in an attempt tokill The White Helmets whilethey work to free those trapped inthe rubble. The tactic hasn’t stopped them.Most of them weren’t first

responders before the war.The group’s leader, 35-year-old

Raed Salah, was an electronicstrader who decided that hewouldn’t stand by while hiscountrymen died. Since then,Saleh has established a trainingsystem for The White Helmetsand taken their story around theworld. He has pleaded on the floor of

the United Nations for the inter-national community to organizea ceasefire in Syria. As a resultof Salah and The White Helmets’tireless work, the group has beennominated for this year’s NobelPeace Prize.If there’s anything to be

gleaned from this light amidst acountry shrouded in darkness,it’s that no matter the tragedy,there are always stories of menand women who run headlonginto danger. The 15th anniversary of our

own nation’s tragedy — 9/11 —can also serve to show us thateveryday citizens are capable ofextraordinary things in the serv-ice of their fellow man. Neverforget, despite the near constantnews stream of violence andtragedy, there will always be peo-ple doing good in the world.

There is always light in darknessThe Restis History

EvansvilleCourier & PressThis may be the most

competitive election cyclewe have seen in years inIndiana.While most polls make it

obvious that Donald Trumpwill pull in Indiana’s 11electoral votes, we are bear-ing down on two statewideelections — for governorand U.S. Senator — thatcould go either way.Currently, according to

polls, Democrat John Greggand Republican Eric Hol-comb are side-by-side in therace to replace Mike Pencefor governor.Gregg made the 2012 race

closer than expected withPence, who became a one-term governor when heaccepted the GOP nomina-tion for vice president.Gregg, a former IndianaSpeaker of the House, hasmore name recognitionthan Holcomb, who wasappointed lieutenant gover-nor just last spring and hasbeen a behind-the-scenesadviser to former U.S. Rep.John Hostettler, formerGov. Mitch Daniels andsoon-to-be-former Sen. DanCoats.After spirited primaries,

the Senate race becamemuch more interesting. Onthe Democratic side, BaronHill withdrew after win-ning the primary to bereplaced by former gover-nor and senator Evan Bayh.On the Republican side,Todd Young had to slug itout in the primary withMarlin Stutzman, and nowfaces a tougher opponentthan expected. Polls showBayh with the lead.We tell you all this

because, as we’ve learnedtime and again, polls can-not predict voter turnout —and voters’ minds can bechanged when they see can-didates side-by-side on astage.Thanks to the Indiana

Debate Commission, that isnow in the planning stages.Three candidates for gov-

ernor — Gregg, Holcomband Libertarian Rex Bell —have said they will partici-pate in three debates, begin-ning Sept. 27 at LawrenceNorth High School in Indi-anapolis. Two others willbe held in October.“We are encouraged that

the candidates acknowl-

edge our intention to pres-ent three debates so theycan share directly with vot-ers how they would work tohelp shape the future ofIndiana,” Dan Byron, presi-dent of the debate commis-sion, said in a statement.“We look forward to finaliz-ing plans with them in theweeks ahead.”The first debate, to be

moderated by University ofIndianapolis assistant pro-fessor of political scienceLaura Merrifield Albright,is intended partly as aneducational event for stu-dents throughout Indiana.Candidates will meet in atown hall-style setting withhigh school students, teach-ers and administrators todiscuss their positions oneducation issues, withsome questions posed bystudents. To be held duringschool hours, it will be web-cast live to schools through-out Indiana by WFYI-TV inIndianapolis. The videostream also will be madeavailable to news organiza-tions. In addition, thedebate will be made avail-able later for televisionbroadcasting.In a news release, Byron

noted the significance ofthe debate date of Sept. 27— National Voter Registra-tion Day. It also is the dayafter the first scheduledpresidential debate. Thetwo October events arebeing planned as eveningtelevised debates.The commission also is

working to schedule two tel-evised debates with thethree candidates for U.Ssenator: Bayh, Young andLibertarian Lucy Brenton.Members of the public

are invited to submit ques-tions they would put to thecandidates through theIDC website athttp://www.indianadebate-commission.com.So submit questions.

ent debate commission’smotto is “Putting VotersFirst.” They are servingour citizens well.

Debate groupserves us well

By MICHAEL J. PETRILLISpecial To The Washington Post Policy expert Michael J. Petrilli

answers The Washington Post’squestion: What is the most impor-tant thing the next administrationcould do to change disparities in K-12 education? School failure is no longer the

United States’ most pressing educa-tional problem — mediocrity is.Both Trump and Clinton could do alot of good by changing the tone ofthe education reform debate — andbacking it up with a few discretechanges in policy. Specifically, theycould shift the conversation from“failure” and focus it instead on“excellence.”This is particularly the case for

Trump, who found himself in hotwater recently for saying to African-Americans that “You live in yourpoverty, your schools are no good,you have no jobs, 58 percent of youryouth is unemployed.” Understand-ably, much of the black communitytook offense to his inaccurate asser-tions on poverty and employment.But his claim that “your schools areno good” is problematic, too. For sure, we’re used to hearing

that, and some of us are used to say-ing it. Indeed, many schools servingAfrican-Americans (and Latinosand low-income students) haven’tbeen very good. Some are still fail-ing.But the truth is that they have got-

ten better over the past two decades.A lot better. The typical African-American fourth-grader is readingand doing math two grade levels

ahead of where the previous genera-tion was back in the 1990s. That’senormous progress. That’s the good news.The bad news is that “better” still

isn’t enough. African-Americans,Latinos and low-income students arestill years behind white, Asian andaffluent peers, on average. They aregraduating high school in highernumbers than before, but they aren’tmaking much progress in collegecompletion, mostly because toomany aren’t ready for college in thefirst place. They need excellentschools, not just “not bad” ones. So what might the next president

do to promote excellence?First, he or she could encourage

the states when they develop theirnew accountability systems underthe Every Student Succeeds Act, tofocus as much on recognition oftheir high-performing schools asthey do on punishments of theirworst. Ohio’s Momentum Awards(for schools showing super-fast stu-dent-level growth) and All-A Awards(for schools earning straight A’s ontheir report cards) are great exam-ples. Note that Ohio gives thoseawards to any public school thatqualifies — whether it is a tradition-

al district school or a charter school.That’s the right approach to emu-late. The next president could also

encourage states to pay more atten-tion to students who are doing workat an excellent level. A new analysisthat I co-wrote found that most stateaccountability systems maintainone of No Child Left Behind’s fatalflaws — a primary focus on gettingstudents to the “proficient” level ofachievement. This encouragesschools to ignore their high-flyers,which is particularly problematicfor low-income high-achieving stu-dents, who tend to lack access to“gifted and talented” programs andsimilar initiatives. The next presi-dent should make it clear that ouradvanced students deserve ourattention too, and states should sendclear signals that they matter byholding schools accountable fortheir progress. The next president, whether it’s

Trump or Clinton, is unlikely to domuch on elementary and secondaryeducation in his or her first term.That’s mostly because Congress justfinished its work on K-12 educationnine months ago, in the form of theEvery Student Succeeds Act.Still, a presidential focus on excel-

lence would enliven the educationdiscussion and serve as a sign oftrue leadership.Candidates: How ’bout it?

Prudue Ag NewsWEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.

and CHICAGO — Aftermonths of increases inproducer sentimenttoward the U.S. agricultur-al economy, the Augustreading of thePurdue/CME Group AgEconomy Barometershowed that declining com-modity prices are weigh-ing on the minds of pro-ducers.Producer sentiment

declined sharply to 95 — a17-point drop from the Julyreading. The barometer isbased on a monthly surveyof 400 U.S. agriculturalproducers and includesmeasures of sentimenttoward current conditionsand future expectations.The Index of Current

Conditions fell from 93 inJuly to 80 in August, whilethe Index of Future Expec-tations dropped to 102 fromJuly’s 121.“This was in sharp con-

trast to July when farmers’optimism about futureprospects pushed thebarometer up, despite theirconcerns about currenteconomic conditions,” saidJim Mintert, the barome-ter’s principal investigatorand director of Purdue’sCenter for CommercialAgriculture. “Farmer sen-timent in late spring andearly summer was buoyedby a spring rally in keycommodity prices, butnear-ideal growing condi-tions for corn and soybeansthis summer helped pushyield prospects up and cropprices down sharply.”Since the peak of the

price rally in mid-June,December 2016 cornfutures have fallen by morethan $1 per bushel andNovember soybean futuresby $1.75 per bushel.

By LINDSAY OWENSWashington Times HeraldA new pilot program for Wash-

ington High School sophomoresallowed students to get an insidelook into corn production, as wellas the history and future of farm-ing Tuesday morning at BoydGrain.Students in the cross-curricu-

lum program with teachersValerie Clarke (biology), JamieStrange (language arts) and CodyChapman (world history) exploredthe history of farming, fightingworld hunger and biotechnologyamong other topics all in just a fewhours with the help of agrono-mists Troy Clawson, Matt Parmerand Glen Murphy with Monsanto.“Tom and Trent Boyd came to us

about this opportunity and wewere happy to be able to help,” saidClawson. “Any time we get achance to teach others about agri-culture we do.”Working through three stations

featuring a combination of hands-on and informational sessions stu-dents were able to fill out a ques-tionnaire.“Our students are learning as

group how agriculture is tied to somany different things,” saidClarke.

While the connection to biologyis simple to recognize, the connec-tion to world history and languagearts are not quite as easily recog-nizable.“For the English part of the

class, students are connectingagriculture to storytelling and theFarmer’s Almanac,” said Strange.“We’ve also been discussing howNative Americans passed downand explained science before allthe technological advances.”The world history connection,

Chapman said, focuses more onhow agriculture helps to build civ-ilizations.“It’s showing students how civi-

lizations come together and evolvefrom hunters and gatherers,” saidChapman.Clawson explained to the groups

the history of seed, as well as whatgenetically modified organismsare and why the biotechnology isimportant to the future.“History shows us agriculture

has had a big impact on history,”said Clawson, who said biotechnol-ogy did not become commercial-ized until the late 1990s, but hashelped increase food production asthe world’s population has contin-ued to grow.“In the next 50 years, farmers

have to grow as much food as theydid the past 10,000 years com-bined.”GMOs, which have improved

yield and can be bred to have cer-tain disease resistant propertiesamong other traits, Clawsonexplained to the students must gothrough an rigorous approvalprocess from the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency, and Food andDrug Administration.“It takes about 13 years to go

through the process to beapproved,” he said noting thataccording to research GMOs areessentially the same as othercrops. “GMOs are the same nutri-tionally as other crops.”Murphy told students how

agronomists like himself areworking with those in undevel-oped nations like Ethiopia toimprove farming techniques tohelp combat hunger.“We aren’t getting any more

land,” said Murphy. “So we have tocome up with ways to help thosegrow more with what they have.”In Ethiopia, Murphy said the

average farm is about one acre andthat plot, about the size of a foot-ball field, is often feeding severallarge families.

“They have similar soil to whatwe have here, but they have threegrowing seasons to our one,” hesaid, adding that while Ethiopiansdon’t have the technology avail-able like American farmers do,they can work on fertilizing, plant-ing in rows and planting betterquality seeds. “We are trying tohelp them become more efficientfarmers to help them generatehigher yields to help combathunger.”One of the more interactive

spots involved Parmer assistingstudents in predicting the yield ofcorn.“Since we aren’t going to get any

more land in the world, we need tofind ways to increase the amountwe can get out of what we have,”he told students before explainingthe process for estimating theyield.Parmer also shared with stu-

dents an interesting fact; althoughonly 2 percent of the U.S. popula-tion farms, one in four jobs in thecountry are tied to agriculture.“Agriculture is the number one

employer,” he said. “We’re hopingthis maybe serves as a little inspi-ration for some of them to take aninterest in agriculture,” said Claw-son.

Purdue Ag NewsWEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.

— A Purdue Universitygraduate is seeking tobring the agricultural ben-efits of the Neem tree (orNimtree), a staple of life inIndia for thousands ofyears, to America throughhis startup NimTreeOrganics.Harsh Joshi, who com-

pleted a master’s degree inagricultural economicsfrom Purdue’s College ofAgriculture, foundedNimTree Organics inMarch. His startup mar-kets and sells Neem treebased organic fertilizerand pesticides, which areproduced in India by theparent company, NeemIndia Products PrivateLtd., his family’s business.“The Neem tree has been

a part of Indian culture forthousands of years,” Joshisaid. “It’s known there asthe tree which has a use forevery part. Twigs arechewed as effective tooth-brushes, its oil is used inagriculture and has otheruses, leaves are used totreat skin disorders, and

bark and roots have medic-inal properties.”While the tree is well rec-

ognized and common inIndia and nearby coun-tries, it’s almost unknownin the United States, Joshisaid.Joshi is marketing two

types of Neem-based pesti-cides and one fertilizer.“Neem-based products

are prized by growersworldwide who want to useorganic products,” he said.The foundation for

NimTree Organics came

from Joshi’s studies at Pur-due.“The thesis of my mas-

ter’s was the business planfor this business,” he said.Joshi said that he did all

the market research andincorporated the businessbefore seeking help fromthe Purdue Foundry, whichprovides assistance to Pur-due-based entrepreneurs.“I was able to get con-

nected to an entrepreneur-in-residence on my firstday,” he said. “They reallyhelped me focus and nar-

row the scope of my busi-ness. Right now I’m lookingfor investors.”Joshi plans to target

organic farmers, fruit andvegetable growers as cus-tomers and has alreadycontacted potential clients.“There are Neem-based

products distributed byother companies in theUnited States,” he said.“But very few have theirown production facilities,so the connection ofNimTree Organics to theproduction facility of theparent company in Indiahelps to set me apart.”The parent company has

received certification fromthe Institute for Markete-cology as well as ECO-CERT, both European-based ecological certifica-tion institutes, Joshi said.He’s also working on certi-fication from the U.S.-basedOrganic Materials ReviewInstitute for the productshe plans to sell.Joshi expects his first

shipment from India toarrive in October. His goalis to sell 27 tons of fertilizerby the end of the year.

To ruleBISMARCK, N.D. —

A federal judge is setto deliver a key rulingon the four-state Dako-ta Access pipeline thathas drawn thousandsof protesters to a con-struction site in NorthDakota in recentweeks.U.S. District Judge

James Boasberg saidhe will rule by the endof today on the Stand-ing Rock Sioux tribe’srequest to block the$3.8 billion project,which will carry oilfrom North Dakota toIllinois.

ElectionsMINSK, Belarus —

Banners along the fas-tidiously clean streetsof Belarus’ cities tellthe country’s people tobe sure to vote in Sun-day’s national parlia-ment election. What’smissing are anyposters showing can-didates’ faces, or theirnames, or even statingwhich parties are inthe running.Lidiya Yermoshina,

head of the CentralElections Commis-sion, told The Associ-ated Press this elec-tion will be especially“active and democrat-ic.” But the absence ofcampaign materialsuggests otherwise.

Continued from page 1The water park’s hours were

reduced during that time andbecause of lack of lifeguardavailability.With admission and rentals

bringing in about three-quartersof the revenue at the water park,the rest came from concessions.Sales totaled $38,546.92.The largest expense for the

facility was wages, which camein at $58,710.60. Other major costsincluded $30,150 for pool supplies,$16,300.70 for concession suppliesand $10,804.70 for utilities.

Included in the water park’sexpenses were $23,015.31 in one-time expenses, which will not beneeded in the future.While Bader and Myers consid-

ered the year a success in termsof attendance and finances, thewater park was not without somehiccups when it came to mainte-nance.“It was a really tough learning

curve on the filter system andthe chemical systems,” Myerssaid.The water park’s filtration sys-

tem, which was designed to have

filters replaced about three timesa year, was instead goingthrough them at a much fasterrate.“We were changing the media

every three days, at a cost of $60every time we changed it,” Myerssaid. Some troubleshooting by Spear

Corporation wasn’t able to solveall the problems, but Myersthinks experience and furtherinvestigation will help thingsrun more smoothly next season.There were also issues with

water pooling on the floors of the

restrooms at the facility, a prob-lem the park board plans toaddress at its next meeting.Bader has high hopes for the

park’s future, but also expectsthat attendance could dip a bitafter the novelty of the parkwears off or if weather isn’t ashot next summer. She said shehopes to expand the facility’sofferings next year — this yearincluded morning lap swims aswell as adult water aerobicsclasses — and mentioned the pos-sibility of expanding the park’spicnic area.

Continued from page 1Hours after South Korea

noted unusual seismic activitynear North Korea’s northeast-ern nuclear test site, the Northsaid in its state-run media that atest had “finally examined andconfirmed the structure andspecific features of movementof (a) nuclear warhead that hasbeen standardized to be able tobe mounted on strategic ballis-tic rockets.”“The standardization of the

nuclear warhead will enable(North Korea) to produce at willand as many as it wants a vari-ety of smaller, lighter and diver-sified nuclear warheads of high-er strike power,” North Koreasaid. “This has definitely put ona higher level (the North’s) tech-nology of mounting nuclearwarheads on ballistic rockets.”North Korea, led by a third-

generation dictatorship andwary of outsiders, protects itsnuclear program as a closelyguarded state secret, and the

claims about advancementsmade in its testing could not beindependently verified. But theycenter on a technological mys-tery that has long bedeviled out-side experts: How far has NorthKorea gotten in efforts to consis-tently shrink down nuclear war-heads so they can fit on long-range missiles?South Korea’s main spy

agency told lawmakers in aclosed-door briefing after thetest that it does not think NorthKorea currently has the abilityto develop nuclear weapons thatcan be mounted on ballistic mis-siles, but intelligence officialsexpressed worries that theNorth’s efforts to do so are pro-gressing more quickly than pre-viously thought, said KimByungkee, a lawmaker from theopposition Minjoo Party.South Korean President Park

Geun-hye strongly condemnedthe test, saying in a statementthat it showed the “fanatic reck-lessness of the Kim Jong Un

government as it clings tonuclear development.”She told a meeting of top secu-

rity officials today that, “Wehave to believe that Kim JongUn’s mental state is spiralingout of control because he is notlistening to any words from theinternational community orneighboring countries in hisattempt to cling to power.”Obama condemned the

nuclear test “in the strongestpossible terms as a grave threatto regional security.”“The United States does not,

and never will, accept NorthKorea as a nuclear state,” hesaid in a statement. “Today’snuclear test, a flagrant violationof multiple U.N. Security Coun-cil resolutions, makes clearNorth Korea’s disregard forinternational norms and stan-dards for behavior and demon-strates it has no interest inbeing a responsible member ofthe international community.”South Korea’s weather agency

said the explosive yield of theNorth Korean blast would havebeen 10 to 12 kilotons, or 70 to 80percent of the force of the 15-kiloton atomic bomb the UnitedStates dropped on the Japanesecity of Hiroshima in 1945. TheNorth’s fourth test was an esti-mated six kilotons.North Korea said no radioac-

tive material leaked, but theexplosion put the region onedge.Chinese state media said the

nation’s environmental protec-tion agency started nuclearradiation monitoring. Japaneseplanes began to collect air sam-ples from national air space toanalyze possible radioactivematerials. Tokyo Gov. YurikoKoike said Japan’s capital city isalso testing water samples andmonitoring radiation levels inthe air.In the North Korean capital,

Pyongyang, residents weredelighted.“It’s really great news,” said

Rim Jong Su, 42. “Now, I am fullof confidence that if the ene-mies make any little provoca-tions we will make a counterattack and we will surely win.”The 5.0 magnitude seismic

event today is the largest of thefour past quakes associated withNorth Korean nuclear tests,according to South Korea’sweather agency. Artificial seis-mic waves measuring 3.9 werereported after North Korea’sfirst nuclear test in 2006; 4.8 wasreported from its fourth test thisJanuary.North Korean leader Kim has

overseen a robust increase inthe number and kinds of mis-siles tested this year. Not onlyhas the range of the weaponsjumped significantly, but thecountry is working to perfectnew platforms for launchingthem — submarines and mobilelaunchers — giving the Northgreater ability to threaten thetens of thousands of U.S. troopsstationed throughout Asia.

By SUSANNE M.SCHAFERAssociated PressCOLUMBIA, S.C. — A

Marine recruit committedsuicide in March amid awidespread culture of haz-ing and abuse in his bat-talion at Parris Island thatcould lead to punishmentsfor as many as 20 officersand enlisted leaders, theMarine Corps said Thurs-day.Some of those 20 com-

manders and senior enlist-ed leaders have alreadybeen fired, including thethree most senior Marinesin charge of the recruit’s

unit. The Marines alsoordered that the rest betemporarily relieved,according to a statementsent to The AssociatedPress. Their punishmentscould range from adminis-trative punishments, suchas counseling, to the mostsevere action of militarycharges and a court-mar-tial.However, that process

could take months, andthe leaders would not beidentified unless they areformally charged.The findings are the

result of three investiga-tions conducted over the

past six months by Maj.Gen. James Lukemanfrom the service’s trainingand education command.They were undertakenafter Raheel Siddiqui, 20,of Taylor, Michigan, diedafter falling nearly 40 feetin a stairwell.An attorney for Sid-

diqui’s family, NabihAyad, has said the familyhas “always suspectedhazing of some sort” inconnection with his death.He did not return a phonecall Thursday.A redacted investigative

report did not mentionSiddiqui by name but

appeared to describe hisdeath. It says that onMarch 18, the day Sid-diqui died, an unnamedrecruit wrote a note to hisdrill instructor asking togo to the infirmary for asore throat. Because hedidn’t follow proper proce-dure, the recruit wasforced to run back andforth in his barracks, thereport said.After several runs, the

recruit began to cry andfell to the floor clutchinghis throat, apparentlyunresponsive, the reportsaid. He was ordered to getup and was slapped in the

face, it said. After he wasslapped, the recruit ranout a door and vaultedover a railing on the thirdfloor of the barracks, thereport said.The investigation also

revealed “recurrent physi-cal and verbal abuse ofrecruits by drill instruc-tors,” with a lack of over-sight by officers. Further-more, even new drillinstructors were subjectedto abuse by more seniordrill instructors, a prac-tice known as “hat haz-ing” because of the iconicflat-brimmed hats worn bythe instructors.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Twonew studies have found that tobac-co and opioid addictions cost Indi-ana more than $8.2 billion a yearand say the state should do more toaddress these problems.The studies released Thursday

determined the toll from tobaccoalone comes to $6.8 billion, takinginto account health-care costs,debts incurred from secondhandsmoke and lost productivity due tosmoking on the job andsmoking-related diseases, the IndianapolisStar reported.The studies also found that opi-

oid overdose deaths also cost thestate $1.4 billion in 2014. More than

1,000 people died of opioid overdos-es in 2014, and tobacco was thecause of more than 10 times thatnumber of deaths.The studies were released by the

Fairbanks Foundation and con-ducted by IUPUI’s Richard M. Fair-banks School of Public Health.Fairbanks Foundation officialshope showcasing the human andeconomic costs of these addictionswill motivate people statewide toact.Some say their publication rep-

resents increasing attention beingpaid to these issues. Indiana Addic-tions Coalition director KimManlove said an HIV outbreak in

Scott County linked to extensivedrug use also helped shine the spot-light on how prevalent addiction isin some communities.“For the first time in the past

decade, I think we’re seeing anawareness of these issues and awillingness to actually do some-thing about it that we haven’tseen,” he said. “I don’t knowfrankly that it shows anything new.I’m just grateful that they havejoined the fray.”Paul Halverson, founding dean

of the Fairbanks School of PublicHealth, said that while tobacco useand opioid addiction appear to dif-fer from one another, they have sev-

eral features in common. He saidboth addictions are health behav-iors that can be prevented.“It’s really important to under-

stand that these are addictions thatare really tough to beat on theirown,” Halverson said.Ben Gonzales, 25, understands

that after being in the throes ofheroin addiction two and a halfyears ago. He has been sober fortwo years after going through a 90-day inpatient treatment program.“I think this study is great. I

think it brings awareness,” he said.“Unless we talk about how wechange, we’re not going to get any-where.”

Continued from page 10“Can’t say enough about

those girls,” Giles Lauxsaid. “They fought. “They don’t quit on each

other.”That intensity paid off

when Muhlenkampnotched her third goal ofthe season with less thanseven minutes to play inthe game.The sophomore dribbled

the ball into the 18-yard boxwith her right foot, made amove to her left and sent aleft-footed shot past Wilk todouble the Patriot lead.“Sweet, very nice,” Laux

said of the swift footwork.Muhlenkamp had anotheropportunity three minuteslater that was saved, andwith 15 seconds to go LucyLaux had a prime openingin the Golden Eagledefense but her shot sailedover the net.On the other side of the

field, Jay County goalkeep-er Lilly Rogers was neverchallenged. The bestchance Oak Hill had waslate in the first half when ithad the ball deep in thePatriot zone, but juniordefender Briana Muh-lenkamp — Kendra’s older

sister — turned away thechance. Along with the eld-est Muhlenkamp sister,Emily, Megan Smith,Alexus Liette and SydneeLee, the Jay Countydefense kept any pressureoff Rogers.Oak Hill only had two

shots, neither of which wason frame, and Rogers didnot record a save.“We want her bored,”

Laux said. Rogers has notallowed a goal since Aug.20, a 9-1 win over MuncieBurris. Since a 4-0 season-opening loss to the Rich-mond Red Devils, the Patri-

ots have outscored theiropponents 24-1.With the matchup Satur-

day against South Adams— the Starfires are 3-2 thisyear and Jay County won 8-1 last season — Laux is hop-ing for the same outputoffensively from his squad.“(There’s a) lot riding on

it,” he said.

Continued from page 10But she got an opportuni-

ty to step in midwaythrough the match Thurs-day, and the second of hertwo kills delivered the vic-tory.“I’m happy for her that

she was able to put the ballaway on that last play,”Medler continued. “She’shad a habit of being underthe ball and hitting it. …She’s worked the last twonights at staying behind theball …“She’s done that the last

two nights in practice andin play here tonight.”The match was a back-

and-forth affair through-out, with Jay County clos-ing the first game on a 7-1run before the Warriorsrolled out to a 12-5 lead enroute to winning the sec-ond. Each of the next threewould go to extra points.The Patriots took game

three on a kill by Barcusand a block from KaelynWeaver after Woodlan jun-ior Katie Hockemeyer hadripped three consecutivekills to pull her team even.Then it was Hockemeyer ingame four who baffledJCHS with her serve, run-ning off seven points in arow. Four of those wereaces, and the Patriots gotthe ball back over the netjust once before Hockemey-er, who eventually rippedanother of her 19 kills toend the game, finally hit aserve into the net.The Warriors clawed out

of their four-point hole inthe fifth game, but werenever able to take a lead.“It always hurts you

when you get in a hole rightaway,” said Woodlan coachDeWayne Stutzman, whogot 24 digs and nine acesfrom Hockemeyer in addi-tion to 26 assists from Addi-son Bayman. “I mean, youcan’t give up (four) pointslike that real quick. We

fought back and we werethere.”While Walter finished off

the match, Barcus, hercousin, carried the offen-sive load throughout theevening. Her hitting per-centage — .457 — was morethan double the team as thewhole as she racked up 24kills. The senior, who willplay at Wright State Univer-sity next season, also hadteam highs of 19 digs andfive blocks.Olivia Kunkler followed

with 11 kills, and ChloeTrissel and Randi Fergusoncame up with 14 digsapiece. Kendal Garringerput up 29 assists, and Brit-lyn Dues and Weaver hadfour blocks each.

Junior varsityThe Patriots fought off

Woodlan to avoid a thirdgame, completing thesweep for a 25-17, 25-23 vic-tory.Sara Hemmelgarn and

Hanna Dillon each totaled

seven kills for Jay County,with Dillon’s final two serv-ing to tie the second gameat 23 and then give her teama one-point lead. The Patri-ots then took the matchwhen Woodlan was unableto return a serve fromMacey Weitzel.Hemmelgarn added two

aces and a block while Alli-son Jobe put up 11 assistsand Alayna Apariciototaled five digs. Sara Wal-ter finished with four digsand two aces.

The Commercial Review/Chris Schanz

Jay County High School junior Lucy Laux slides to tap the ball past Oak Hill goalkeeper Andrea Wilk forthe eventual game-winning goal during the second half Thursday at JCHS. Kendra Muhlenkamp alsoscored as the Patriots won, 2-0.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewTake enough shots, and the ball is

bound to go in.It’s the approach the Patriots took

on Thursday night.Pepper Oak Hill goalkeeper Andrea

Wilk, and eventually one will get pasther.For the first 46 minutes, Wilk

responded to the challenge, turningaway each of the Patriots’ dozenshots. Three more attempts at the netmissed the frame, and another fivechances went unfinished.Early in the second half, though,

she got beat.As the home team kept up the pres-

sure, she faulted again.“That is what we talked about at

halftime,” said coach Giles Laux,whose Jay County High School girlssoccer team scored twice in the sec-

ond half to beat the Oak Hill GoldenEagles 2-0.“It was a matter of just getting a

better look, a better shot,” he added.“We were knocking.”It was the fifth straight win — and

third shutout in a row — for JayCounty (5-1), which travels to Berneto take on South Adams at 10 a.m. Sat-urday. A win would secure back-to-back Allen County Athletic Confer-ence championships.In the 47th minute Thursday, Jay

County junior Lucy Laux had the ballnear midfield and sent a pass to herright at teammate Kendra Muh-lenkamp for a give-and-go. The passwas a little too far for Muhenkamp,who ran to her right to chase the ball.After gaining control, she kicked theball back toward Laux, but it wasslightly off the mark.As it rolled toward Wilk, Laux slid

to tip the ball, getting to it momentsbefore Wilk did. Laux’s tip ricochetedoff the keeper, spun toward the netand slowly rolled across the goal linefor the eventual game-winning tally.“Right before the goalie,” Giles

Laux said of his daughter getting tothe ball a split-second before Wilk.“The crashing we’ve been doing,they’ve been stepping up and theyknow good things will happen.“They do, and they have.”The scoring opportunities kept

coming for the Patriots. ForwardsKayla Ferguson, Alex Bader, MikeleSuman, Stormi Canterbury and Lauxall had their chances. Ferguson andBader both had attempts miss theframe. Wilk turned away a handful ofLaux shots, and Canterbury hadcrossing attempts saved by the OakHill goalkeeper.

Jay girls win fifth straight

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewAs an errant pass sailed toward

her, Sarah Walter was feeling nopressure.She didn’t know she was sup-

posed to.With her team leading 16-15 in

the fifth and deciding game, shedidn’t realize that if she finishedthe point the match would beover.“I didn’t even know that we

were going to go to 15,” said Wal-ter, a sophomore. “Honestly, Ithought we were going to go to 25.And I was like, ‘What the heck, ifI get this out, I’ll get it next time.’”So she went up in the air with a

mindset of trying to slam the balldown as hard as possible.Her calm with the match on the

line paid off.Walter ripped the errant pass

past a block attempt by Woodlanfreshman Lauren Durkes, record-

ing the winning kill as the JayCounty High School volleyballteam fought off the visiting War-riors 25-21, 19-25, 26-24, 25-27, 17-15.Most games are played to 25, as

Walter expected, including thethird and deciding game in juniorvarsity matches. But at the varsi-ty level, the fifth and decidinggame is a sprint to 15.Jay County (7-4, 2-0 Allen Coun-

ty Athletic Conference) rolled outto a 4-0 lead in game five, but the

Warriors (5-8, 0-1 ACAC) ralliedand eventually pulled even at 14on a kill by Maddie Fredrick. Theteams traded points — a kill byAbby Barcus followed by a serv-ice error — to 15 before anotherBarcus kill gave the Patriots anedge.Serving for the match, Barcus

dropped the ball in short in frontof libero Cassidy Weidenhoeft.The senior, who had been spectac-ular with 33 digs on the night, got

to the ball but was unable to con-trol it. Her serve reception sailedover the net, where Walter waswaiting to slam it down.“It was a big one for Sarah,

because when we went to thisnew lineup Tuesday night it tookher out of the lineup,” said JCHScoach Fred Medler. “I know shewasn’t happy about it, but that’sthe way the ball bounced for amatch and a half. …”
