Flowers vandalized at Mishawaka's Battell Park

MISHAWAKA — The city parks department is once again looking for vandals. More than 250 annual flowers at the rock garden at Battell Park, which had been planted last week by a class from Beiger Elementary School, were pulled out of the ground and trampled sometime Tuesday or Wednesday, said parks Superintendent Phil Blasko.He said staff are going through video footage from the park to see if they can identify the vandals. Anyone with information is asked to call the parks department at 574-258-1664 or Mishawaka police at 574-258-1678.Blasko said a company contacted the department Friday and is donating flowers to replace all the ones that were lost.Vandalism is an almost weekly issue in the parks. He said the city is also still looking for vandals who cut a hole in the Merrifield Pool liner in early May. The liner has since been patched, and the pool will open for the season on Monday. Blasko said the city plans to install security cameras at Merrifield this year. (South Bend Tribune)

High school softball: Kingsmen present flowers after win over Memorial

MISHAWAKA – Not many high school softball teams win 10-0 with a no-hitter, then present its opponent with flowers. That might be what sets Penn apart. The Kingsmen (24-3) were dominant on the field against Elkhart Memorial (12-16) in Tuesday night’s Class 4-A regional. The 10-0 victory earned Penn a ticket to the Lafayette Harrison Semistate Saturday at 11 a.m. against Zionsville. After the game, Penn players took a close look at the human side of the game. Recently, Memorial senior left fielder Desiree Uribe lost her father in a motorcycle accident. She has played through the grief during the Crimson Chargers’ tournament run. The Kingsmen saluted that courage. Close Penn sophomore Hailey Hisaw high fives teammates before the softball regional championship game at Penn High School Tuesday, May 31, 2016.

Questions spring up with May's flowers

I should ask for forgiveness for liking the show so much? • Isn’t it a little silly — and even reckless — for a 22-year-old fan (even if he is from Mishawaka) to jump out of the stands and join a scrum of Major League Baseball players celebrating a teammate’s no-hitter? But if I were 22 again, wouldn’t I want to try it, too? • How come it takes only four — or is it five — White Castle sliders to make me OK with the fact that we don’t have one of those restaurants around here? • And while we’re on fast food, have any of you accidentally chewed up Marvin Gardens — from one of those little tear-off tags on your Coke cups — while simultaneously eating a burger and playing Monopoly at McDonald’s? • Before they decided to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, how many of you could have instantly named Andrew Jackson as the longtime face on that denomination? • OK, how about a harder one? Quick, quick, whose picture is on the $50 bill? An easier one? Who’s on the $10 bill? So how did you do? • How come all the superheroes are suddenly fighting each other in the movies? Can’t Hollywood create enough dastardly villains so they don’t have to turn the good guys on each other? • Can you believe that it’s May already? So can we finally start planting those annuals or do we need to wait another week until Mother’s Day? • Who would have guessed that I could actually e... (South Bend Tribune)
