This week saw two odd but parallel stories. The first featured a white Minnesota woman named Shiloh Hendrix, who allegedly spotted a Somali child rifling her diaper bag at the park; she then reportedly called the child the N-word.

COLUMBIA CITY — The crowd gets revved up watching the winner come to the finish line. While they weren’t watching, however, East Noble’s girls were racking up points.

WATERLOO — The first game was a breeze, but DeKalb needed a reset trailing by a run in the nightcap Saturday.

The Barons (16-1) took the first game 10-0 on a two-hit shutout by Bryson Gadson.

SYRACUSE — Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, people like to talk about weather. There’s an old joke that everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. While Kyle Brown, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Northern Indiana Office in Syracuse can’t do anything about the weather, it’s his job to tell people about what to expect. When will it rain? How much snow will fall? Was it a tornado that struck in my county?
