After seven years, 2 mil-lion-plus deportations,two executive actions and720,000 “Dreamers,” thebottom line on PresidentBarack Obama’s immi-gration record stillremains an open ques-tion for many immi-grants and their advo-cates.In the end, the Supreme
Court may fill in theblank.By agreeing to hear a
challenge to Obama’simmigration plan, thecourt on Tuesday raisedhopes that Obama may
have one last chance tomake good on an unful-filled promise to immi-grants, many of whom feelabandoned by his adminis-tration’s deportation raids.

By BRIAN SLODYSKOAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Whether the 2015
ISTEP should be rescored due to well-doc-umented problems with the roll-out andadministration of the exam is once againpitting GOP leaders in the Legislatureagainst Democratic state schools Superin-tendent Glenda Ritz, whose administra-tion says there is no evidence supportingthe need for such a step.“We don’t have any data that says that
it’s needed,” Ritz spokesman Daniel Alt-man said Tuesday, noting state estimatesshow a rescore could cost millions. “That’sa lot of money that you are talking aboutfor something that the data shows us is notneeded at this time.”Republicans, including House Educa-
tion committee Chairman Bob Behning,have said the handling of the 2015 exam
was a “disaster” that led the state to severties with testing company CTB/McGraw-Hill after the release of student scores wasdelayed for months and disparities werefound between the paper and online ver-sions of the test. But Behning and otherRepublicans also question Ritz’s oversightof the company and say something shouldbe done to establish the legitimacy of thetest, which underwent an overhaul before2015 that made it more difficult.They say a rescore is important because
the test will be used as a baseline to judgefuture student performance.“Obviously, we had significant prob-
lems,” said Behning, of Indianapolis, whothinks that despite the issues, the underly-ing test was not flawed. “I think the bigproblem was implementation.” He hasfiled a bill calling for a rescore.

By RIAZ KHANand ZARAR KHANAssociated PressCHARSADDA, Pakistan
— Taliban gunmenstormed a university innorthwestern Pakistantoday, killing at least 20people and triggering anhours-long gunbattle withthe army and police beforethe military declared theassault in a town near thecity of Peshawar was over.The attack stirred grim
echoes of the horrific 2014Peshawar school attackthat killed more than 150people, mostly children,and shocked the nation. Italso prompted the Pak-istani prime minister topledge the country willwipe out the ‘menace ofterrorism.’ Police said fourattackers were also killed.Today’s attack began
shortly after the BachaKhan University openedfor classes in the town ofCharsadda, some 21 milesoutside Peshawar, saidDeputy CommissionerTahir Zafar.As police and soldiers
rushed to the campus, theattackers traded gunfirewith the troops and sever-al explosions were heardfrom the area of the uni-versity. The attackers werelater contained inside twouniversity blocks wherethe troops killed fourattackers, the army said.A chemistry professor
and a student were amongthose killed, said Zafar,adding that it was not ini-tially clear how manyattackers managed to pen-etrate the campus. Televi-sion footage showed heavymilitary presence at theuniversity, troops rushingin and people fleeing.Ambulances were at thescene and the woundedwere taken to the hospital.The attackers entered
the university compoundby climbing over backwalls and shooting at asecurity guard before theymade their way to theadministration building
and the male students’dorms, police officialSaeed Khan Wazir said.A witness, botany
teacher Mohammad Ishti-aq, said he jumped outfrom the second floor ofthe building when heheard gunshots and brokehis leg. Two attackerswere on the first floor andthree on the ground floor,he said, adding that theywere using automaticassault rifles. The studentsran in different directions,he said.“I locked myself in a
washroom,” he said. “Ijumped out when I saw oneof the attackers comingtoward me and shootingstraight ahead of him.”Pakistani Prime Minis-
ter Nawaz Sharif vowed tofight to the end anddestroy the Taliban andother militants.“We are determined and
resolved in our commit-ment to wipe out the men-ace of terrorism from ourhomeland,” Sharif said ina statement.A Taliban leader, Khali-
fa Umar Mansoor, claimedresponsibility for today’sattack in a phone call toThe Associated Press froman undisclosed location.Mansoor, who was the
mastermind in thePeshawar school attack,said a four-man Talibanteam carried out theassault in Chasadda. Hesaid it was in revenge forthe scores of militants thePakistani security forceshave killed in recentmonths.However, a spokesman
for the main Taliban fac-tion in Pakistan later dis-owned the group behindtoday’s attack, describingthe assault as “un-Islamic.”Mohammad Khurasanialso denied earlier reportsthat he had endorsed Man-soor’s claim and said thatthose who carried out suchattacks would be triedbefore an Islamic, orSharia court.

Challenge offers chance forObama’s immigration plan
Continued from page 1Altman says Ritz’s
administration worked toaddress problems with thetest, even going so far as tohave an outside consultantreview it for irregularities.He said the review found nosignificant problems withthe way the test was scored.The call for a rescore is
the latest proposal put forthby Republicans, includingGov. Mike Pence, to addressproblems that they played asignificant role creating.The 2015 exam was hasti-
ly rolled out on a shortenedtimeline after GOP law-
makers in 2014 scrappedthe state’s participation innational Common Corestandards, which haddrawn fierce backlash fromconservative critics acrossthe country who said theyamounted to a federaltakeover of education.This session, both cham-
bers of the Legislaturehave fast-tracked meas-ures that would give teach-ers and schools a one-yearreprieve from being penal-ized for poor student per-formance after scores onthe 2015 test plummeted by20 points with just over
half the students who tookit passing. School A-F let-ter grades, as well asteacher merit pay, aredetermined at least par-tially by student ISTEPperformance.Democrats on Tuesday
sought to capitalize on theissue when one of themeasures was up fordebate.
“Even the most staunchtesting zealots are startingto come to their sensesabout the hazards associ-ated with a system thatsimply places too much ofan emphasis on the pas-sage of this particulartest,” said state Rep. TerryGoodin, a Democrat fromAustin who is also a ruralschool superintendent.

Felonyarrests
Continued from page 1Eldridge first learned about
RaeLynn’s, located in Green-wood on the south side of Indi-anapolis, about a year ago fromher friend Menausha VanSky-ock, who recommended the storeas a good place to find a promdress. So Eldridge followed Rae-Lynn’s on Instagram and Twit-ter, eventually seeing posts aboutthe fashion show.She decided to give it a try.The first step was posting a
photo on Instagram and email-ing an application that includedexplaining why she wanted to bea model for the fashion show.That resulted in a call Nov. 16saying she had been selected as
one of about 100 invited to whatamounted to an audition.That came a week later, with
Eldridge and all of the othergirls trying on a dress at thestore, doing a model walk andgetting a photo taken.Then the RaeLynn’s staff
made its selections. Eldridge wasone of 40 chosen for the show.“(I was) really, really happy
and really excited,” she said.“I’ve kind of always wanted to dosomething with modeling, but Iwasn’t really comfortable and Iwas kind of nervous to do it. Soto actually get chosen was really,really exciting.”Though the photos and the
model walk were part of the
selection process, other factorsare important as well.Eldridge’s mom, Shelly, had
called to get details about thefashion show, so the name wasalready in Wolfred’s mind.“And then when she came in
she just really represented her-self in a great manner,” said Wol-fred, who added that she and herstaff pay attention to how thegirls act in general and how theytreat their parents specifically.“And she fit our dresses reallywell. And she just did a greatjob.”Last month all 40 who were
selected went for a run throughof what the show would be like.It was also a chance for the girls,
who come from all over thestate, to make connections.“We text literally every day,”
said Eldridge, who was one ofthe first to send out a text to allher fellow models on theGroupMe group text messagingapp. “We’ll send random stuff.We’ll send pictures of our ani-mals and we’ll talk about them.It’s really, really fun. I didn’tthink I’d get really close withanyone, but I’ve gotten close witha couple girls.”The final step before the show
comes Thursday and Friday,when models will try on three orfour dresses apiece.Then it’ll be time for Eldridge
and her fellow models to walk
the runway at the conventioncenter venue, which seats about700, with the show expected tolast about two hours. It willinclude Kayne, a top-five contest-ant in season three of Klum’s“Project Runway” who hasdesigned for Jennifer Lopez, andMcKinley, the season nine run-ner-up, describing their dressesand explaining the thoughtprocess behind designing them.There is also a competition
aspect, as the model who has thelargest group of supporters inattendance will receive a $300gift card to RaeLynn’s. The run-ner-up will get $100, and thethird through fifth place finish-ers will each receive $50.

By ARIC CHOKEYAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Indiana phar-
macists could get the legal right torefuse to sell a common cold medicineused to make methamphetamine tosuspicious customers under a bill aSenate committee approved Tuesday.The Senate Corrections and Crim-
inal Law committee passed themeasure 8-2 vote after hours of tes-timony. The measure would allowpharmacists to diagnose a cus-tomer’s condition and determine ifmedicine containing pseu-doephedrine is necessary, or if alter-native medicine would work. Cur-rently, customers need a driver’s
license in order to buy the medicine.The bill’s author, Sen. Randy Head,
R-Logansport, said the measure won’tcompletely eliminate the meth prob-lem. However, his hope is that it willfree up law enforcement officers andresources to focus on stopping theinflux of meth from another source:Mexican drug cartels.

LessonsTo crease a sheet of paper is to changeits memory, says the origamimaster: what was a field of snowfolded into flake. A crane, erect,structured from surface. A treeemerges from a leaf — each form undone
reveals the seams, pressedwith ruler's edge. Some figures takehundreds to be shaped, crossed& doubled over, the sheet boundto its making — a web of scarsthat maps a body out of space,
how I fashion memory: idlingat an intersection next to Jack Yates High,an hour past the bell, I saw a girlfold herself in half to slip beneaththe busted chain-link, books thrustahead, splayed on asphalt broiling
in Houston sun. What memorywill she retain? Her cindered palms,the scraped shin? Braids brushingthe dirt? The white kite of her homeworktaking flight? Finding herselflocked out, or being made
to break herself in.

By JACK RONALDThe Commercial ReviewLast week’s gusty winds
brought twigs and small limbsdown into our front yard.Mostly they were the brittle,
dead branches of redbud trees.The sight of them this time ofyear is nothing unusual, but thewind had given us a larger har-vest of kindling than usual.So on Sunday, after putting
the job off for a couple of days,I finally decided to clean thingsup.The wind was still at it about
noon that day, and I wouldn’thave been surprised if morebranches came down while Iworked. It was, I admit, an oddtime for yard work. The mercu-ry was heading down from the20s, and the wind chill was
lower than I wanted to thinkabout.Just the same, there was
something satisfying about get-ting the blood moving throughthe veins, bending, stooping,gathering sticks up by thehandful and taking them to theback patio.The NFL could wait, I fig-
ured. There was plenty of timefor football and the couch.As I worked, I found myself
thinking about how pioneerand Native American familiesbraved winters like this 200 andmore years ago. Those sticks Iwas gathering weren’t an eye-sore to them; they were fuel.Gathered up, that kindling
would go into the campfire orfireplace or wood stove andunleash the heat within. It wasas if the sun that had shone onthe trees had been captured andstored just for such an occasionso that it could be reborn as awarming blaze.My task was more vanity
than necessity. I didn’t want ourproperty to look as if we’dabandoned it. A certain amountof pride was involved.And when I took three or four
loads of sticks and twigs to theback of the house, and when I
broke those sticks into manage-able bits and tossed them in thefirepit, I was struck by the dif-ference between my task andthat of my forebears.After all, as I broke sticks
over my knee or used pruningloppers to cut the larger piecesup, what I was doing was pilingup fuel for a backyard fire thatwould be lit solely for ouramusement some evening inspringtime.The heat given off wouldn’t
be a matter of life and death. Itwould simply disappear intothe air. The light given offwouldn’t be utilitarian. Itwould simply be decorative,something pretty and welcom-ing.Those earlier fallen branches
and those earlier fires had
meaning, and the sunlightreleased by them mattered. These twigs in my hands and
the fire they would kindleseemed to me to matter less,knowing as I did that I wouldshortly go into the house wherethe thermostat was set at a com-fortable level and a kettle couldbe brought to a boil with theturn of a knob on the stove.And yet, I told myself, maybe
if there are family and friendsaround the firepit when the kin-dling is lit, maybe that’s enough. Maybe when the sunlight in
the wood is released simply todelight the eye and warm theheart, maybe that’s enough.There’s a poem in there some-
where, I told myself as I wentinside to get warm.Or maybe a column.
Fire from twigs still serves purposeBack in theSaddle
KPC News ServiceThe experts have
weighed in with theiradvice about how to solveIndiana’s teacher short-age.The Blue Ribbon Com-
mission on the Recruit-ment and Retention ofExcellent Educatorsreleased its report Thurs-day.The group’s 47 mem-
bers have been studyingthe shortage since Sep-tember.The report says Indiana
has seen a significantdecline in the numbernew teacher licenses —more than a 30 percentdrop over the last fiveyears. Colleges that trainteachers are noticing asignificant decline inenrollment.The commission set out
to make a list of recom-mendations to state legis-lators on how to recruitand keep good teachers.It concludes that, first
of all, teachers needencouragement andincentives to enter theprofession.When they start their
careers, new teachersneed support from experi-enced teachers serving asmentors.Throughout their
careers, teachers needways to continue growingtheir skills and salariesthat encourage them tostay.Teachers also need the
state to avoid discourag-ing them by basing theirevaluations on flawedtests such as ISTEP+.To attract new teachers,
the report suggests creat-ing a Teachers Ambassa-dor Program to promotethe profession amongpotential teachers.The state should help
future teachers pay forcollege through scholar-ships, then forgive theirstudent loans if they taketeaching jobs and stay inthe profession.The state should pro-
vide mentors to guidenew teachers throughtheir early years. Thementors would be paid$1,000 for mentoring first-year teachers, $800 formentoring second-yearteachers and $600 formentoring third-yearteachers.In addition to mentors,
the report suggests a“boot camp” for first-yearteachers before the firstday of school.The report mentions a
need to offer incentivesfor teaching in “high-needs” schools. It’s no
surprise that teacherturnover is worse atschools where a majorityof students come fromlow-income families.Financial incentives
also would be offered toteachers in shortageareas, such as special edu-cation and STEM (sci-ence, technology, engi-neering and math).The report suggests
providing pay increasesfor teachers who improvethemselves by earningadvanced degrees andlicenses.Pay increases also
could reward those whobecome National BoardCertified Teachers. Indi-ana has only 169 NBCTs,but the best known isSuperintendent of PublicInstruction Glenda Ritz.Voluntarily earning
board certification meansa teacher has “developedand demonstrated theadvanced knowledge,skills and practicesrequired of an outstand-ing educator,” accordingto the national board.The report calls for
developing “teacher lead-ers” in schools. Theywould share their expert-ise, support the growth ofother teachers, andincrease the quality ofinstruction.The report also sug-
gests reducing the empha-sis on standard tests, suchas ISTEP+, in measuringstudent achievement andespecially in evaluatingestablished teachers.Statistics attached to
the report point to a fac-tor that may be as impor-tant as all the rest.Depending on the type ofschool, salaries for Indi-ana teachers run $4,000 to$6,000 per year behindnational averages.Those are just a few
highlights from thereport. The timing of itsarrival, two weeks afterthe start of this year’s leg-islative session, mayensure that little if any-thing will get done thisyear.But we can’t let this
report end up on a shelf,ignored. If Indiana wantsto get serious aboutimproving education, leg-islators need to take thecommission’s advice seri-ously.
Leaders needto take action
By MAX STIERSpecial to The Washington Post Dear presidential candidates:A little over a year from now, one of
you will take the oath of office. BeforeInauguration Day is over, the unex-pected could occur - a terrorist threat,a global or domestic crisis - andrequire your immediate attention.Will you be ready?The hard work of governing our
nation probably seems a long way offgiven that you must still secure yourparty’s nomination and win the gen-eral election. But the inaugurationwill come at warp speed. If you arenot preparing now, you could be put-ting the nation in jeopardy and riskstarting your presidency at a disad-vantage from which your administra-tion might never recover.As president, you will be in charge
of the largest and most importantorganization in the world. You willhave to make 4,000 political appoint-ments, including more than 1,000 forSenate-confirmed leadership posi-tions; oversee a $3.7 trillion budget;and manage a workforce of 2.1 mil-lion civilian employees and morethan 2 million active-duty and reservemembers of the armed forces. Youwill have to make decisions on a widerange of critical issues and reachaccommodations with an oftenunruly 535-member board of direc-tors known as Congress.Despite the magnitude of this task,
most candidates do not adequatelyprepare to govern. Campaigns arecontentious and consuming, and car-rying out transition planning well inadvance of the election has been deri-sively viewed as presumptuous, withcandidates often accused of prema-turely “measuring the drapes” beforevotes are counted.But the 77 days between the elec-
tion and the inauguration do not pro-vide enough time to identify and vetyour top management team or get upto speed on the complex policy andmanagement issues you will face.Even waiting to begin this work until
after your party’s nominating con-vention this summer will be far toolate.In a scene from the 1972 film “The
Candidate,” Robert Redford’s charac-ter turns to his campaign managerafter winning a hard-fought Senaterace and asks, “What do we do now?”You do not want to be in this position.Luck and hope are not a strategy.As you devote your time and ener-
gy to the campaign, you must simul-taneously lay the groundwork for adisciplined, well-organized transferof knowledge and power should theAmerican people elect you as ournext president.You should be ready to announce a
transition chairman by the first weekof April so that person can set up atransition office by May to take fulladvantage of a law Congressapproved in 2010 that provides pre-election transition resources to thenominees immediately followingtheir party’s conventions. Your transition staff should com-
pile lists of potential top-levelappointees, including people whoknow how to manage large enterpris-es, and you should set a goal of hav-ing your core team members, includ-ing the White House staff and the top100 agency leaders, in place immedi-ately after Inauguration Day, andanother 300 key appointees on the jobby the August congressional recess.The transition team should formulateyour administration’s policy agendaand develop a management strategyfor implementing your priorities.Presidents champion policies and
shape the direction of the nation. Yetthey often fail to appreciate the
direct link between the success oftheir administration and the needfor a sound plan and capable peopleto advance their policies and pro-grams. Every administration experiences
unexpected early crises — thinkabout the 2008-2009 financial melt-down and the 2001 terrorist attacks —and serious management failures,such as the poor emergency responseto Hurricane Katrina early in GeorgeW. Bush’s second term and thebotched rollout of Healthcare.gov,the online portal for PresidentObama’s signature domestic policyinitiative. Such missteps only con-tribute to the public’s distrust of gov-ernment. A recent poll by the Pew Research
Center found that just 19 percent ofAmericans trust government “alwaysor most of the time,” and only 20 per-cent would describe government pro-grams as being well run. For the sec-ond consecutive year, Gallup reportedthat the public identified dissatisfac-tion with government as the nation’stop problem in 2015. This, more than anything, needs
fixing.As voters, we long for substance
instead of sound bites. There is noth-ing more substantive for a candidateto do than to fully prepare to run theincredibly complex enterprise that isour federal government and planahead to competently meet the needsof the public.Restoring faith in our government
can only be accomplished by makinggovernment work better. Your suc-cess in this will depend in large parton the steps you take now. There is alot to do, and Inauguration Day willbe here before you know it. It’s time toget to work.

Library has made a pointof reaching out to thecommunity with offer-ings and activities wellbeyond just books.On Saturday, the staff is
seeking to spark creativi-ty through crafts.The library will host a
do-it-yourself craft eventfor children from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m. Saturday.The craft time is part of
the library’s recurringcraft events that takeplace every fourth Satur-day of the month. LindaShreve, youth serviceslibrarian at JCPL, saidthe children from pre-school ages to fifth gradeare encouraged to partici-pate. “What we do is set out
craft materials andinstructions on how to dothe crafts and we just setit out for the public tocome in and do about
three to four crafts at atime,” she said.This month’s theme is
focused on health andwellness in partnershipwith library’s adult serv-ices programs. CherylLucas, adult serviceslibrarian said these pro-gram have included ses-sions focused on essentialoils and how to use them,massage therapy andarthritis and exercising. Children who attend
will make healthy food
crafts and take themhome when finished.Shreve said some cre-ations will be made ofPlay-Doh, and partici-pants will also createtheir own healthy menufor a restaurant. In the past, Shreve said
it has been difficult toaccount for how manychildren attend these pro-grams because they arecome and go activities.Some just wander in andfind the event is going on,
she noted, while otherscome specifically for thecrafts.February’s theme will
be centered on cherries,Shreve said, because itwill relate to President’sDay. The crafts mayinvolve cherry finger-prints made using red inkpads.On the popularity of
the craft events, Shrevethinks the children find itentertaining that there issomething different to do
in the library other thanbooks.“I think what I really
enjoy is looking for thecrafts because it’s fun tosee what other people’sideas are,” said Shrevewhen it comes to herfavorite part of thesecraft events. “And thenjust watching the kids dothe crafts and how muchfun they have with justdoing the crafts, especial-ly when the parent helpsthem.”

In review
Continued from page 1If the court sides with
Obama, ruling that he has theauthority to unilaterally shieldup to 5 million immigrants fromdeportation, Obama wouldclaim a sizable last win on anissue that has dogged him foryears. His administrationwould, however, face anotherchallenge — implementing acomplex program in a matter ofmonths as Republicans vow toreverse it just as quickly.If the court rules against
Obama, he could spend his lastmonths in office making head-lines for deporting people,rather than shielding them fromdeportation, as he’d planned.At issue are Obama’s actions
to allow parents of U.S. citizens
to stay in the country, along withan expansion of Obama’s earli-er program protecting peoplebrought to the U.S. illegally aschildren — known as Dreamers.Lower courts have put thoseprograms on hold amid claimsObama exceeded his authority,but the Supreme Court agreedto have the final word.Advocates said they see the
pivot point as a reflection of theseesaw nature of Obama’srecord on the issue. Despite hisefforts to pass immigration leg-islation and use his executivepower to protect some immi-grants, his broader deportationpolicy led activists to label himthe “deporter-in-chief” and leftwounds some say won’t behealed.
Most recently, advocates wereincensed by deportation raidstargeting 121 Central Americanimmigrants, arguing the raidssowed fear and skepticism in acommunity that could make itharder for advocates and theadministration to persuade peo-ple to come forward later.Angela Maria Kelley, an immi-
gration expert at the liberalCenter for American Progress,likened Obama’s policies to a“high school romance: Oneminute you’re in love, the nextyou’re being dumped.“It does feel like it can take on
a bipolar presence in the com-munity,” Kelley said.The Supreme Court is expect-
ed to rule on Obama’s executiveaction by late June. That would
leave Obama with barely half ayear to get the program up andrunning before his presidencyends. Most of the Republicansrunning to replace Obama havealready vowed to tear up the pro-gram if elected.Obama’s expanded program
for people brought here as chil-dren was hours away from beinglaunched last year when a judgeput it on hold, so ostensibly, theadministration could flick theswitch on almost overnight withlittle additional preparation.But the much larger program
for parents of U.S. citizens was-n’t nearly as far along when thecourt shut it down.Ahead of the injunction, U.S.
Citizenship and ImmigrationServices had secured office
space in Arlington, Virginia, fora new processing center, withplans to hire about 1,000 peopleto screen applications. But theadministration would have tohire and train those workers,finalize the forms and applica-tion process, and disseminatethat information to applicants.Administration officials pre-
dicted that could take anywherefrom a few weeks to a couple ofmonths. By comparison, it took60 days to launch the initial pro-gram covering people broughthere as children.“We’re certainly interested in
moving forward with imple-menting these executive actionsas expeditiously as possible,”said White House spokesmanJosh Earnest.

violence has declined since thewide-ranging military offensivewas launched in North Waziristan,the Taliban still manage to carryout major attacks.The Peshawar school attack hor-

lican, who devoted most ofhis annual State of theState speech Tuesday nightto the emergency in Flint,also pledged greater trans-parency. He said he wouldrelease his own emailstoday regarding Flint’swater, which became con-taminated with too muchlead when the cityswitched its water source
in 2014 as a cost-cuttingmeasure.“I’m sorry most of all
that I let you down,” Sny-der, whose administrationis engulfed in criticism,said in the 49-minuteaddress, as hundreds ofprotesters demonstratedoutside the Capitol. “Youdeserve better. Youdeserve accountability.You deserve to know thatthe buck stops here withme. Most of all, youdeserve to know the truth,and I have a responsibilityto tell the truth.”The lead contamination
— which can lead to behav-ior problems and learningdisabilities in children andkidney ailments in adults— has left Flint residentsunable to drink unfiltered
tap water. The NationalGuard, state employees,local authorities and vol-unteers have been distrib-uting lead tests, filters andbottled water. Snyder aidespledged that by the end ofthe week officials wouldvisit every household inFlint to ensure they havewater filters.Democrats said Snyder
only recently admitted themagnitude of the fiasco, atleast three months too late.“This is the kind of dis-
aster, the kind of failure todeliver basic services thathurts people’s trust in gov-ernment,” House MinorityLeader Tim Greimel said.In his speech, Snyder
committed $28 millionmore in the short term topay for more filters, bottled
water, school nurses, inter-vention specialists, testingand monitoring — on topof $10.6 million allocatedin the fall. The money alsowould replace plumbingfixtures in schools withlead problems and couldhelp Flint with unpaidwater bills.The new round of fund-
ing, which requiresapproval from the GOP-ledLegislature, is intended asanother short-range stepwhile Snyder works to geta better handle on the long-range costs. He plans tomake a bigger request inhis February budget pro-posal.Snyder also announced
the deployment of roughly130 more National Guardmembers to the city and
revealed his appeal ofPresident Barack Obama’sdenial of a federal disasterdeclaration for the area.“To you, the people of
Flint, I say tonight as Ihave before: I am sorry, andI will fix it,” he said.Snyder, a former venture
capitalist and computerexecutive who took officein 2011 billing himself as apractical decision-makerand a “tough nerd,” hasrejected calls for his resig-nation. He has previouslyapologized for regulatoryfailures and for an under-whelming initial responseand on Tuesday outlined atimeline of the “catastro-phe” dating to 2013, andblamed it on failures at thefederal, state and locallevel.

Pete Rose is getting a hallof fame induction — in theCincinnati Reds’ team hallduring a weekend of hon-ors this summer in hishometown — that willinclude retiring his No. 14.The Reds’ announcement
Tuesday came after MLBcommissioner Rob Man-fred rejected Rose’s applica-tion for reinstatement tobaseball last month.Manfred concluded that
baseball’s career hits leaderhasn’t shown evidence of“a reconfigured life” andcontinued to gamble, evenwhile seeking to end thelifetime ban imposed in1989 for betting on numer-ous Reds games while play-ing for and managing theteam.Reds’ chief executive Bob
Castellini said Manfredapproved the plans to
honor the 74-year-old Rose.The June 24-26 events alsowill feature a 40-yearreunion of the 1976 worldchampion Reds, on-fieldceremonies and a team hallof fame banquet in whichRose will be awarded thered sports coat its memberswear.“This is an honor, that
you can’t just believe howyou feel,” Rose said at anews conference, notingthat he grew up a Reds fanand was born a few milesfrom the Great AmericanBall Park where he will behonored. He broke intobaseball as a Red, playedmost of his career withthem, and also managedthe team.The National Baseball
Hall of Fame in 1991 adopt-ed a rule that keeps anyoneon the permanently ineligi-ble list off the ballot.

By CHRIS SCHANZThe Commercial ReviewOn a night that was in their
honor, the Patriot seniors won.Jay County High School’s
wrestling team capped its dualschedule Tuesday with a 47-28victory over the Redskins ofFort Wayne North Side.The five seniors accounted for
more than half of the Patriots’wins. Levi Hummel and AndyKohler both won by pin, ColtonCompton earned a hard-foughtvictory by a 1-0 decision, andDallas Dudelston and TristenAtkins both received forfeits.“We wrestled all right,” said
JCHS coach Eric Myers, whoseteam finished 13-2. “It was dis-
appointing that Dallas and Tris-tan didn’t get to wrestle on sen-ior night. They picked up six(points) for us anyways.”Myers went on to talk about
the seniors in a little moredetail.“(I’m) really proud of those
guys,” he said. “Whenever Istarted coaching here I felt likethis class was the class that real-ly bought in to what we weredoing. They are a special classfor me. They mean a lot to me.It’s going to be disappointing tosee those guys go.”Hummel opened the evening
needing just 68 seconds to pinSam Dick in their 182-poundbout. He turned a single-leg
takedown into a cradle, andshortly thereafter earned his26th victory of the season.“Always feels good to win,”
Hummel said, adding he feels heis getting better as the seasonhas progressed, just in time forSaturday’s Allen County Athlet-ic Conference dual tournamentat Woodlan. “Made it a little bitdifferent because it’s seniornight, but a win is a win.”Andy Kohler, who is ranked
No. 4 at 182 pounds by Indiana-Mat, pinned Lawrence Davisone second faster than Hummelto win his 195-pound match. Itwas his 33rd win of the season.“I feel like after Christmas
break I came back and I was a
little bit rusty,” said Kohler, whois 33-0. “I feel like I’m wrestlingat 90 percent, not quite 100 yet.”Just as Hummel did, Kohler
put Davis on his back with a sin-gle-leg takedown, then overpow-ered the North Side freshmanfor the win to give his team a 12-0 lead.Following three straight wins
from North Side — Tyson Whit-ner pinned Jacob Ferguson at220, Dakota Ault spoiled BaileyLudy’s varsity debut with a pinat 285 and returning state quali-fier Ben Streeter won in 1minute, 8 seconds against IanLiette — the Redskins had an 18-12 match lead.
