Wehmiller said teamwork and
communication were keys to winning this past fall.
You really had to know your
setter and how she was going to
set the ball, she said. She has
to know where you want the ball
and how high or whatever.
(Winning the) first set was
very important because it determined your momentum. It wasnt
too hard to come back after the
first one, but you really wanted to
win the first one.
Wehmiller played club volleyball for two years in Seymour
outside of the high school
season.

Tuesday, February 16, 2016

We worked on all the fundamentals, Wehmiller said. It

wasnt just games. We did a
lot of individual work. It was
definitely a good experience.
I learned how to play with all
kinds of players.
Whether she was shooting into
a net or hitting over one, Wehmiller always tried to keep a strong
mental game.
Id say 50 percent of your
game is mental, Wehmiller
said. You have to be mentally
prepared for games and stuff.
For basketball we watched these
videos to help with the mental
aspect. You have to practice like
how you are going to play the
game or youll just be slow or
sluggish in the games and you
wont win.

MLB brief

I wouldnt consider it. But I

havent heard anything considering that.
After helping the Mets reach
the World Series for the first
time since 2000, the 26-year-old
right-hander was eligible for
salary arbitration for the first
time and agreed to a one-year
deal worth $4,325,000. He is
eligible for free agency after
the 2018 season, and his agent,
Scott Boras, usually prefers
his clients test the market.
Mets general manager

Sandy Alderson says he

would consider talking about
long-term deals with his talented young starting pitchers
if there was mutual interest.
Jacob deGrom could become
a free agent following the
2020 season, and Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz
after the 2021 season.
Zack Wheeler, projected
back this summer following
Tommy John surgery, could
become a free agent following the 2019 season.

Scalia: Courts man

for all seasons
WASHINGTON

Antonin Scalias colleagues honored the late

Supreme Court justice
Monday in a manner
he would surely have
approved, in sharp
exchanges and aggressive questions during the
courts first session since
Scalias death.
His black cloth-draped
chair next to Chief Justice
John Roberts was empty.
Roberts began the proceedings by remembering
Scalia as a friend and
colleague of irrepressible
spirit.
The justices first
seemed restrained, understandably sad that Scalia
was gone and facing a
prolonged period without
a full complement on the
bench. But by the second
of the mornings two
cases, the justices questions grew more spirited
and they at times interrupted the advocates and
each other.
In particular, Justice
Sonia Sotomayor and
Roberts dueled over
whether evidence of a
crime should be thrown
out of court if the police
did something wrong or
illegal in obtaining it.

explained in an The Associated Press interview.
We cant wait anymore
for the federal government. We have people

bathroom stalls. And too
many of them are dying.
Describing his proposals to the AP ahead of
a formal announcement
planned for Wednesday,
the mayor said creating a
place where addicts can
inject heroin safely is a
key part of a holistic approach to drug abuse that
Ithaca will be rolling out,
one that treats addiction
more like a public health
issue than a problem
for the criminal justice
system to solve.
Nurses or physicians
could quickly administer
an antidote if a user
overdoses, while addicts

also could get clean

syringes and be directed
to treatment and recovery
programs, he said.
Myrick expects supervised injection sites to be
a hard sell in Albany, let
alone in Washington, D.C.,
but his political sensibilities reflect what polls
show is a growing belief
among younger Americans that the war on drugs
announced in 1971 by
President Richard Nixon
has failed.
I think for a lot of
people this is going to
sound like a weird concept

A Los Angeles attorney,

declined to identify but
who were affected by the
shootings. He said the
U.S. attorney in the case,
Eileen Decker, sought his
help. Larson said he will
file a brief supporting
the Justice Department
before March 3.
The victims have
questions that go simply
beyond the criminal investigation ... in terms of
why this happened, how
this happened, why they
were targeted, is there

are more of a personal
victim view, Larson said.
George Valasco, whose
27-year-old niece Yvette
Velasco was killed in
the shooting, said his
brother Yvettes father
agreed to be named in
the brief.
Frankly its difficult
to understand why Apple
would not jump at the opportunity to help uncover
whatever information
the phone may contain,
according to a family
statement. Were not
talking about an ordinary
case here this is an
act of terrorism, where
14 Americans lost their

Its potentially a matter
of national security,

safety could be at risk.

is helping Indiana farmers
harvest their crops early
following a summer of
heavy rains that cut yields
across many parts of the
state.
Purdue University agricultural economist Chris
Hurt said Indiana farmers had harvested about
twothirds of the states soybean crop and about half of
its corn crop by last week.
He estimated the summers torrential rains
inflicted about $200 million
in crop losses in Indiana.
But Hurt said the fall harvest that followed those
deluges has been nearly
ideal, with perfect weather for farmers eager to put

Close calls spur

federal move on
unmanned aircraft
BY JOAN LOWY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON
Concerned about rising
reports of close calls and
safety risks involving
drones, the government
announced Monday it will
require many of the
increasingly popular
unmanned aircraft to be
registered.
Pilot sightings of drones
have doubled since last
year, including near
manned airplanes and at
major sporting events, and
there are reports of interference with wildfire-fighting operations,
Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx said at a
news conference.
These reports signal a
troubling trend, said
Federal Aviation
Administration chief Michel
Huerta. Registration will
increase pressure on drone
operators to fly responsibly,
he said.
The FAA now receives
about 100 reports a month
from pilots who say theyve
seen drones flying near
planes and airports, compared with only a few sightings per month last year.
