Ready to open

By RAY COONEYThe Commercial ReviewSix-year-old Makenna

Avery’s eyes lit up as shewalked through the gatesfor the first time.Averie Daniels, also 6,

got an up-close look atone of the lily pads.Tessa Miller, 10, and a

rotating group of otherchildren stood on the pooldeck near the dump buck-et, letting the spray fromits 60 gallons wash overthem every couple ofminutes.After local officials

said thank you and theribbon was cut Friday,members of the publicgot their first glimpse ofthe new $3.21-millionPortland Water Park thatis slated to open at noonMay 28.“I think it’s awesome,”

said Ava Daniels, 10,“because I like how it’snot too deep for the littleones and the slides are alot better than they were… They have a lot morestuff.”She had only been to

the old Portland Pool acouple of times, she said,but plans to be a regularvisitor to the new facility.The 7,750-square-foot

Portland Water Parkreplaces Portland Pool,

which was 55 years oldwhen demolition beganin April 2015. It has azero-entry with a waterdepth of 42 inches inmost areas and deepersections on the north (6feet) and south (4 feet)ends of the 25-meter com-petition pool.In addition to the dump

bucket, other featuresinclude a 117-foot-longlazy river at the southeastcorner, a lily pad walkand two 20-foot-tall waterslides. There are also newrestroom facilities —men’s, women’s and fami-ly — and a concessionstand with tables nearby.The project was nearly

four years in the making,as discussions began fol-lowing a July 2012 articlein The CommercialReview that detailed thedeteriorating state ofPortland Pool, which atthat time was leaking atleast a million gallons ofwater each summer. Acommittee formed inearly 2013 studied facili-ties for 10 months beforerecommending the con-struction of a new pool,and in May 2014 PortlandCity Council committedup to $2.25 million towardthe project.

By HEBA HABIB andSUDARSAN RAGHAVANThe Washington PostCAIRO — The discov-

ery of human remains,wreckage and passengerbelongings from anEgyptAir plane thatplunged into the Mediter-ranean Sea on Thursdayadded momentum to thequest to unravel the mys-tery of why Flight 804from Paris to Cairo sud-denly dropped from thesky, probably killing all66 people aboard. Without the bulk of the

fuselage and flightrecorder, the tragedy hasoffered few tangible cluesbut plenty of speculationthat terrorists may havetargeted the Airbus A320.On Friday, Egyptian

naval ships backed byU.S. and European searchaircraft scoured theMediterranean, concen-trating the hunt to anarea about 180 miles offthe coast of the Egyptiancity of Alexandria,according to an Egyptianmilitary spokesman, aday after earlier reportsof located debris wereretracted.If more debris is locat-

ed in the area in upcom-ing days, it could signal amajor shift in the investi-gation into how theplane, traveling at acruising altitude of37,000 feet, could havesuddenly swerved, flew ina circle, then plungedthousands of feet, losingcontact with air con-trollers before vanishing.Experts now have a tar-

get zone to try to peerbelow the waves in hopesof finding what remainsof the fuselage and theflight recorders. But thepresumed crash site cov-ers some of the deepestwater in the Mediter-ranean, with a seabedbasin that is more than10,000 feet below the sur-face in some places. Thecurrents in the area arealso strong, which couldcomplicate efforts to pin-point the submergedwreckage.In Athens, more details

about the reported Egypt-ian finds were given byGreek defense ministerPanos Kammenos, whosaid a seat, luggage and“a body part” were spot-ted.The European Space

Agency, meanwhile, saida satellite detected a pos-sible oil slick in the samearea.Greek state television

said the recoveries weremade about 115 milesfrom the plane’s lastradar-tracked position.

By BEN NUCKOLSAssociated PressWASHINGTON — A U.S. Secret

Service officer shot a man with agun who approached a check-point outside the White House onFriday afternoon and refused todrop his weapon, the Secret Serv-ice said.The White House was briefly

placed on a security alert after

the shooting, which happenedwithin view of sightseers as side-walks were crowded with fami-lies, school groups and govern-ment workers.The armed man approached

the checkpoint on E Street short-ly after 3 p.m., and ignored repeat-ed orders from the officer to drophis gun, according to a statementfrom David Iacovetti, a Secret

Service deputy assistant director.The officer fired one shot at the

man and the gun was recoveredat the scene, Iacovetti said. Theman was transported in criticalcondition to a nearby hospital, anemergency medical servicesspokesman said.President Barack Obama was

away playing golf, but Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden was in the White

House complex and was securedduring the lockdown, his officesaid. The security alert was liftedabout an hour later.The gunman never made it

inside the White House complex,and no one else was injured, theSecret Service said.A U.S. law enforcement official

said Friday evening that authori-ties had identified the gunman as

Jesse Oliveri of Ashland, Penn-sylvania. The official spoke oncondition of anonymity becausethe official was not authorized torelease the information.Federal agents found ammuni-

tion inside a Toyota sedan,parked nearby on ConstitutionAvenue, that the gunman wasbelieved to have driven, the offi-cial said.

Portland Water Park timeline

Continued from page 1A day after a top offi-

cial in Egypt said thatpossible terrorismappeared more likelythan a catastrophic tech-nical malfunction at37,000 feet, French for-eign minister Jean-MarcAyrault said on France-2television that there is“absolutely no indica-tion” of the cause of thecrash. No group hasclaimed responsibilityfor the fallen plane.U.S. officials also urged

caution on drawing con-clusions about the causeof the crash. Analysts atthe CIA and other agen-cies, meanwhile, haveworked with foreigncounterparts to scruti-nize the flight’s passen-ger list and crew roster.Three French civil-avia-tion experts arrived inCairo on Friday to assistwith the investigation,

reported Egypt’s flagshipstate-owned newspaper,Al-Ahram.The discovery of the

debris and passengerremains diminishedalready slim hopes offinding any survivors.There were around adozen nationalities, withEgypt and France suffer-ing the greatest losses. InCairo on Friday, hun-dreds of relatives andfriends of the missinggathered in mosques formemorial services, offer-ing solemn prayers andtears.The plane left Paris at

11:09 p.m. local timeWednesday. It flew acrossnorthern Italy and intoGreek airspace, whereair traffic controllerslater noted that theplane’s pilot “was in goodspirits” before enteringEgyptian airspace. Min-utes later, the plane

veered violently to theeast, dropping from37,000 feet to 15,000,according to Kammenos.At one point, the planemade a “360-degree turn”before disappearing fromradar and crashing intothe Mediterranean.The disappearance of

Flight 804 was Egypt’sthird major air incidentin eight months, furthereroding confidence in thesafety of the country’sair travel and deliveringanother blow to govern-ment efforts to revive astruggling economy andtourism sector. In Octo-ber, the Islamic State’saffiliate in Egypt claimedresponsibility for bring-ing down a Russian char-ter flight over the SinaiPeninsula with a possiblebomb smuggled aboard,

killing all 224 peopleaboard. In March, anEgyptAir flight fromAlexandria was hijackedand diverted to Cyprus bya 59-year-old Egyptianman wearing a fakeexplosives belt. He latersurrendered, and allhostages were released.In a sign that Flight 804

could have serious eco-nomic ramifications, theEgyptian stock exchangeplunged on Thursday —its last trading day of theweek — recording morethan $300 million in loss-es. And the Egyptiannewspaper al-Wafd quot-ed an adviser to the coun-try’s tourism minister assaying the governmentexpected an industrydownturn following thecrash — “due to fears oftraveling with EgyptAir.”

Capsule Reports

Continued from page 1The rest of the money was to

be raised through private dona-tions, which ended up totaling$1.21 million from 282 donors.The process was kick-started bya $250,000 initial gift from ThePortland Foundation.“It has been exciting to watch

the growing enthusiasm andpride of ownership as the newpool has emerged,” said JohnYoung, who chaired thefundraising committee, whilenoting that 100 percent of thosedonations have been paid.“Thanks to all of you for mak-ing a dream come true.”Crews led by general contrac-

tor RLTurner of Zionsvillebroke ground on the project on

April 22, 2015, and most of theconstruction was complete bythe end of the year. They put onthe finishing touches over thelast couple of months, and anexpansion of the parking lot toabout 200 spots from the previ-ous 67 was added.Friday’s event served as a cel-

ebration concluding what attimes was a contentiousprocess, but one that all thosewho took the microphoneagreed was well worth theeffort. Speaking to about 150attendees at the ribbon-cuttingceremony were Portland MayorRandy Geesaman, park boardpresident Rod Ashman, repre-sentatives from RLTurner andwater park architect HWC Engi-

neering, water park managerMissy Bader and Young.“These kind of projects that

are special,” said Cory White-sell of HWC in contrasting thewater park with road and sewerprojects. “This is the type ofproject where everybody getsout and gets excited about it.When we walked up here a fewminutes ago, we were lookingaround and a couple of younggirls peered through the gates tosee what was behind this andtheir jaws were wide open in theanticipation of the fun that isgoing to be happening here soon…”The event also included draw-

ings for who will be the firstchildren to go down the slides

(Eathan Dennis and RavenEley), stand under the dumpbucket (Adria Roessner) and tra-verse the lily pad walk (ConnorCarr).Portland Water Park will open

for regular hours beginning atnoon May 28. It will be openfrom noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdayand from noon to 8 p.m. Sundaythrough Friday.Single-day admission will be

$4, with the price reduced to $3after 5 p.m.Ten-day passes are $30, and

city hall, 321 N. Meridian St.,prior the facility opening nextweekend.“I’m beyond excited,” said

Levi Hummel, who will be oneof a group of about 25 lifeguardson staff. “It’s so cool.“The pool is great, and I’m

excited about working here.“I think what’s been really

special is how much the commu-nity has taken notice of it andhow much the community hasbeen involved. Toward the endof our years with the old Port-land Pool … we weren’t gettingvery many people showing up.And I think that’s going to makethis real special with having thewhole community around here.”

Oomph! Clunk!You’ve just run over a speed

bump, going a little faster thanyou should have been going.The first reaction is,

inevitably, to grumble aboutthat bit of raised asphalt, theone that caused the clunk.But it shouldn’t take more

than an instant’s reflection torealize that the speed bumpwasn’t at fault. You were.The speed bump was doing

its job, and it was doing it well.

The net result is that you’regoing to slow down to makesure the next bump doesn’tresult in either an oomph or aclunk.

Anyone who has ever drivenout of the Jay County HighSchool parking lot via thenorth exit has — at some timeor another — grumbled aboutthe speed bumps.But anyone who has driven

out of the JCHS parking lot viathe north exit has gone moreslowly because of them.And that’s precisely the

point.Recently, the Jay School

Board has kicked around the

idea of getting rid of the speedbumps the next time that sec-tion is re-paved. They’re anirritant, the argument goes.They’re a pain in the neck.To that, we say, of course

they are.That’s why they were put

there in the first place.And for about 40 years,

they’ve been effective at slow-ing down northbound trafficfrom the high school parkinglot. Without them, traffic

would quickly resemble, as for-mer JCHS principal Phil Fordput it the other day, a race-track.All drivers — but especially

young drivers — need thereminder a well-placed speedbump can give. The reminder:Slow down.This choice seems pretty

simple.Keep the speed bumps. And let

those oomphs and clunksremind us to slow down. — J.R.

Speed bumps are a good reminderEditorial

By JOHN KRULLTheStatehouseFile.comINDIANAPOLIS —

Centuries of history sitaround me.I’m in the Old Timers

Room at the IndianapolisMotor Speedway talkingfor a radio show withfamed track historianDonald Davidson, raceannouncer Paul Page andRon McQueeney, theIMS’s chief photogra-pher for 35 years. The OldTimers Room is just offGasoline Alley. Membersof the Old Timers Clubsit around us, listening toand smiling at the storiestold.It’s a rainy afternoon.

The weather has kept theattendance down for theday, but people still clus-ter at the window to lookat Davidson and Page, inparticular.The four of us talk

about the scope of theIndianapolis 500. We dis-cuss how many millionsof people have attendedthe race — the recordattendance for a singlerunning is north of300,000 — over the centu-ry it has been in exis-tence. We talk about howoverwhelming the sights,sounds and sensation of33 cars roaring around a2.5-mile oval track whilehundreds of thousandswatch and yell can be.But, even as we talk

about the size of thegreatest spectacle in rac-ing, I’m struck by theintimacy of the event.Davidson dreamed of

the race as a boy andyoung man and saw hisfirst 500 in 1964. It didn’tcome by accident, hesays.“I planned to get here,”

he laughs.Page saw his first race

in 1960. He became theannouncer for the race in1977 and will hand overthe microphone afterstarting the 2016 race,which will be the 100thrunning.He says it’s the people

and the affection theyhave for the race andeveryone associated withit he’ll miss the most.McQueeney saw his

first 500 with his fatherin 1956. Other than dur-ing the two years hespent in the service, he’sseen every race sincethen.When he was a teenag-

er, he used to cut class tohang out at the track.Once, his high schoolvice principal upbraidedhim for missing school.“He told me, ‘That

track never will make aliving for you,’”McQueeney chuckles.Some years later, he

ran into the vice princi-pal at a funeral for aschoolmate. McQueeneyreminded the man of the

conversation — and thenhanded him a businesscard.They both had a good

laugh.Davidson says such sto-

ries are the thing thatmake the 500 so special.At least part of the race’senduring appeal, he says,is that it is a constant.Seasons may change,

years may come and goand the world may twistitself into new and differ-ent shapes, but the win-ner of this year’s racewill cross the same spotof earth the first winnerdid in 1912.Davidson talks about

all the people he meets atthe track and how theyhave their own ritualswithin the larger ritualsof the race. They have thesame seats — often seatsthat have been passeddown from grandparentto parent to child. Theyvisit the same sites. Theymake sure they connectwith the same people.As we talk, messages

roll in from listeners whoecho Davidson’s theme.A woman writes that

she’s 69 and few thingsthrill her more than hear-ing Jim Nabors sing“Back Home Again inIndiana” at the start ofthe race. She wonderswhat it will be like hear-ing others perform thesong going forward.A young father writes

that he’s been going tothe race ever since hewas a kid and that he’slooking forward to takinghis young twin daughtersto their first 500 this year.And Davidson,

McQueeney and Pagenote that a generation ofgreat drivers is advanc-ing in years and won’t bewith us much longer.They made history andsoon history will claimthem.As we talk, it occurs to

me that it’s fitting thatthe 500 is run on an oval,a shape without begin-ning or end for a racethat has traveled and con-tinues to travel so manymiles in the seasons of somany, many lives.

Oval is at theheart for many

By FAYE FLAMBloomberg ViewScience has a way of making peo-

ple uncomfortable.Sometimes that’s because it seems

likely to produce agents of harm;think of nuclear weapons research.Sometimes, though, for reasons lessobvious, it just feels weird.That’s what happened nearly 20

years ago when scientists cloned asheep named Dolly, and again lastweek when word got out that a groupof biologists held a closed meeting atHarvard to talk about using labora-tory chemicals to create a completeset of human DNA — a humangenome. Both ideas freaked peopleout because they called into questionthe imagined boundaries betweenthe living and the non-living, the nat-ural and the artificial.Critics questioned what should be

done with a set of artificial humanDNA, and even broached the notionthat someone might try to recreateEinstein. Similar concerns came upafter Dolly.The ethical issues surrounding

synthetic human DNA are similar tothose raised by cloning. The clonedsheep wasn’t made of artificial partsbut violated what many people weretaught about the facts of life, since itcame from an udder cell instead ofthe union of egg and sperm.Congressional hearings were held,

new laws debated to rein in the bravenew world. The famed medical ethi-cist Art Caplan, then at the Universi-ty of Pennsylvania, had it rightwhen he said the concerns should befocused not on cloning itself but onthe safety of the clones. Wouldcloning introduce unintended healthproblems? Would cloned people besubject to prejudice? What kinds ofexpectations might a parent load onthe shoulders of a child who was herclone? Or cloned from Einstein?Ultimately, no human clones were

produced, but scientists did usecloning on dishes of human cells formedical research. The objectionsthere were primarily religious. Themedical research offended those whobelieve a fertilized egg is equivalentto a human being, and that cells

capable of becoming a new humanbeing were sacred or had rights.Cloning violated some people’s

spiritual and intuitive feelings aboutlife by showing that all sorts of ordi-nary cells can be coaxed into startinga new being. The kind of syntheticbiology in the news now goes a stepfurther, showing that a living thingcan be produced from parts of deadorganisms and some laboratorychemicals. It’s being done now inbacteria.In 2010, the biologist Craig Venter

and his colleagues announced thatthey’d created a synthetic version ofthe DNA for a bacteria called M.mycoides. They inserted it into deadbacteria of another species, emptiedof their own natural DNA. The syn-thetic DNA “booted up” as Venterput it, and the bugs came to life. Ear-lier this year, a Venter team created anew bug by taking away genes, end-ing up with a life form that requiresfewer genes than anything known tonature.The appeal is that by tinkering

with life, we’ll better understandhow it works, said Rob Carlson, abiologist specializing in syntheticDNA and director of the Seattle-based company Bioeconomy Capital.The same goes for human DNA -there’s a lot we don’t know about itthat might be learned from creatingsome in the lab.There’s no reason, he said, for peo-

ple to be frightened, outraged orcreeped out.He said that the public’s fears of

synthetic life owe something to MaryShelly’s 1818 novel “Frankenstein.”He recently re-read the book and dis-covered that the horror is in whatgoes unsaid. There’s a sentenceabout Dr. Frankenstein at work, thena space, then the monster comesalive. “All our concerns about sci-

ence and Frankenstein go back to thespace between those two sentences,”Dr. Carlson said.When “Frankenstein” was writ-

ten, scientists accepted a theorycalled vitalism, which posited thatliving things and the chemicals thatcomprise them were infused with alife force. The idea died as a scientif-ic theory in 1828, when chemistFriedrich Wohler accidentally pro-duced urea — a component of mam-mal urine — by mixing ammoniumchloride with silver cyanate. Heexcitedly wrote to his mentors that itwas the first time anyone made thiscompound without the use of a kid-ney. Other chemists had doubts buteventually came around to the ideathat molecules were just molecules,even the ones that make up our bod-ies.And yet, vitalism survives in peo-

ple’s intuitive view of the world.There seems to be something specialabout life. Those scientists whobreach the life-chemistry border areoften accused of playing God.So it does make sense to probe the

ethical considerations ahead oftime. A few years ago, scientists syn-thesized a polio virus, for use in test-ing vaccines. The project provokedquestions about whether the riskswere worth the potential benefits.The organizer of last week’s closedmeeting, Harvard biologist GeorgeChurch, has described many futuris-tic applications of synthetic DNA inhis book, “Regenesis.” He proposesbringing back extinct animals, withthe presumed hope that whateverwent wrong the first time wouldn’thappen again.He also wrote that it might be pos-

sible to bring a Neanderthal backfrom 40,000 years of extinction.Would a Neanderthal appreciatebeing created? Would he or she longfor other Neanderthals?We need to talk.

EPA doesn’t satisfy ethanol industryThe Environmental Pro-

tection Agency made somemoves this week toincrease renewable fuelvolume obligations, butthose moves did not go farenough to please theethanol and biofuelsindustry.“While the proposed

numbers from EPA aretrending in the right direc-tion, they once again failto acknowledge the exist-ing capabilities of the bio-fuels industry and fuelretailers in meeting thegoals of the RenewableFuel Standard,” said JeffBroin, chief executive offi-cer of POET Biorefining,in a prepared statement.“Congress called for 15

billion gallons of ethanolfrom corn starting in 2016.The industry is capable ofmeeting that goal not justin 2017 but right now,today. Similarly, the infra-structure exists to getthese clean fuels to mar-ket. The EPA is preventingthis industry from meet-ing its potential andendangering the expan-sion of cellulosic ethanol.“EPA’s core mission is to

protect public health and

the environment. Today,with this proposed rule, ithas failed that mission.Biofuels replace cancer-causing agents in gasolineand reduce greenhousegas emissions. The onlyway to expand these bene-fits is to allow the marketto grow. Consumersdeserve the right to choosehigher blends of biofuelslike ethanol at the pump.“The EPA must amend

these numbers to reflectthe full volume for cornethanol use laid out instatute.”POET is the parent com-

pany of POET Biorefin-ing-Portland.

By BEN QUIGGLEThe Elkhart TruthELKHART — An

Elkhart-based manufac-tured housing builder hasannounced that it is open-ing a new manufacturingfacility in the city. Skyline Corp., one of

the nation's oldest

providers of manufac-tured housing, said in apress release that the man-ufacturing facility willproduce affordable hous-ing for communities inIndiana, Illinois, andMichigan. It is expected tostart manufacturing at theend of May.

"The opening of theElkhart facility is inresponse to growingdemand for our existingcommunity partners,"said Skyline Presidentand CEO Rich Florea."The Elkhart plant willenable us to more effi-ciently and effectivelydeliver our Skyline quali-ty and service to our cus-tomers in Indiana, Illinoisand Michigan."The move comes after

Skyline released thirdquarter fiscal 2016 resultsthat showed the companywas experiencing a slowcomeback after the GreatRecession. During the third quar-

ter of fiscal 2016, Skyline

Corp. saw net sales fromcontinuing operationsclimb 25 percent to $47million, a large improve-ment from $38 million ayear ago. The companystill experienced a net lossof $520,000 or 6 cents pershare, but that was animprovement over the $2.9million, or 36 cents pershare, loss from the thirdquarter of fiscal 2015.In the first nine months

of fiscal 2016, Skyline hasseen $155 million in netsales from continuingoperations, an increase of13 percent over $137 mil-lion a year ago. Sharehold-ers have seen a net incomeof $352,000, or 4 cents pershare, compared to a net

loss of $10 million, or $1.22per share, during the firstnine months of 2015.Manufactured home

industry shipment num-bers are down comparedto industry shipmentsbefore the Great Reces-sion. Only 70,519 units were

shipped in 2015 comparedto 117,510 in 2006, accord-ing to the ManufacturedHousing Institute, thenational trade organiza-

tion that represents theindustry.The mid-1970s and 1990s

represented the best peri-ods for the industry. Ship-ments in 1999 reached348,671, then slowlydeclined until the GreatRecession hit in 2008. Areport from the NationalAssociation of HomeBuilders says that newhome sales are on the rise,a good sign for the manu-factured home industry.
