The unemployment rate is a U.S. Bureau of La- bor Statistics (BLS) indicator that reflects the number of unemployed people as a per- centage of the labor force.

Indiana's total labor force continues to stand at more than 3.33 million, and the state’s 64.4 percent labor force participa- tion rate remains above the national rate of 62.8 percent.

Grand Park hosting The National Cup New Huskies working hard tournament through Monday By RICHIE HALL Reporter Sports Editor As the football season draws near, so will the first opportunity for some new Huskies to take to the field. These Hamilton Heights newcomers will get their chance due to last year's Husky team being so senior-dominated. As a result, Heights coach Mitch Street has kept his team at home for most of the summer, with the exception of a couple of scrimmages. "We scrimmaged twice this summer, both in a jamboree style format," said Street. "We have so many newcomers that I thought it was important that we work on ourselves as much as possible." All one has to do is look at the raw numbers to understand just how senior- dominated the previous season's Huskies team was. Three different quarterbacks threw for 1212 yards. The senior rushing crew gained 1462 yards and scored all 11 running touchdowns. The senior receivers had 73 catches and found the end zone 13 times. And on defense? The top seven total tacklers were seniors. So is there anyone returning for Heights. Yes, there is. "We have four starters returning on offense, all of which are on the offensive line," said Street. "We also have four starters returning on the defensive side of the ball as well." On defense, the top returner is Troy Bergesen, who made 50 total tackles last year. Senior Tyler Wiltermood is also on the roster on defense, he had 20 tackles last Reporter photo by Richie Hall season. A senior expected to go both ways is Grand Park is hosting The National Cup, the national championship for US Club Soccer, this Michael Cross. As a junior, Cross got a few opportunities to take to the field on both weekend. The event features teams from age groups ranging from 13-U to 19-U, in two sides of the ball. He made 19 tackles on different divisions (Super Group and Premier Group) for boys and girls. Pictured here, the defense, and got some receiving experience to the tune of seven catches. 13-U boys teams from the Western United Pioneers (red uniforms) and the Austin Texans "As a whole we are very young and (white uniforms) battled it out in a pool game Saturday morning, with the Massachusetts-based inexperienced, and have a lot of room for growth," said Street. "However, I really like Pioneers winning 3-0. the way this group is working, their Games continue today with pool play; some age divisions will have semi-final games later competitiveness and their desire to get better.

The Class 3A Huskies will open at 4A Mount Vernon on Aug. 18, then host 5A Kokomo at the Husky Dome the following week. Heights was to play the Wildkats for the first time last year in the Week 2 game, but Kokomo was hit with tornadoes earlier in the week, forcing the game to be canceled. Instead, the Huskies and the Wildkats teamed up to help the city of Kokomo with the clean-up efforts. IUPUI’s Brennan named to NABC Honors Court

Guerin Catholic graduate Aaron Brennan is one of five IUPUI men's basketball players to be named to the NABC Honors Court last Tuesday. Brennan is an incoming senior for the Jaguars and is majoring in Organizational Leadership Supervision. He and his IUPUI teammates satisfied the requirements for the Honors Court by being a junior or senior academically, carrying a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 and have spent at least one year at their present college. In fact, Brennan gets just as much recognition for his academic pursuits as he does for his performance on the court. He has been named to the IUPUI Academic Advisor List in five of his six semesters, meaning that he earned a 3.0 GPA or higher. In addition, Brennan was chosen as a Summit League Academic Distinguished Scholar in his freshman year, with a GPA of 3.6 or higher. In his junior year, Brennan played all 32 games and started nine times for the Jaguars. He averaged 8.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest, shooting 50.2 percent from the field. He also had an excellent three-point shooting season, making 47.4 percent of his 3-point attempts. 8 Sports Teen Byron holds off Menard for historic, exciting victory in Lilly Diabetes 250
