B6 THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2008 2nd THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR INDYSTAR.COM Lottery Obituaries More obituaries on the previous page mify BALLS $40,000 in tickets and Koehlinger spent $2,470 on the game. The overstatement of prizes occurred because half of the 5 million Cash Blast tickets printed were defective, according to their claims. The lottery reprinted the 2.5 million tickets but did not announce that the prizes associated with the defective tickets were no longer available. On June 22, 2006 more than a year after taking the flawed tickets off the market the lottery noted on its Web site that seven of the initial 10 $250,000 prizes associated with the game remained available, the suit says. By July 7, 2006, after realizing it had too many prizes listed on its Web site, the lottery announced that the number of $250,000 prizes remaining had dropped to one.

The number of prizes of $50 or more fell from 65,570 to 5,197. While the odds of the game never changed, the suit says a high volume of tickets were purchased because it appeared many top prizes were still available. Five days after the lawsuit was filed in January 2007, the lottery began issuing $10 coupons to anyone who sent in a losing Cash Blast ticket, the claim says. Call Star reporter Jeremy Herb at (317) 444-6306. Several people said they were deceived about prizes available.

From B1 refund for anyone who bought any of the losing $10 tickets. Lottery spokesman Andrew Reed said the lottery does not comment on pending lawsuits. If the suit is successful, anyone who joined the class action would likely have to file a claim for a refund either by submitting their losing ticket or signing an affidavit stating they lost, said David Brimm, one of the plaintiffs' attorneys. Brimm said many players, especially those who expect to claim their winnings on their tax returns, hold on to their losing tickets so they can write off those losses. Judge Gerald Zore's July 3 decision was based on the claims of 49 people who had submitted affidavits saying they played the game because they thought there were more prizes available than existed.

Their affidavits included the losing tickets. Jeff Frazer, Carmel, and Jeff Koehlin-ger, Auburn, filed the suit in Marion County after Frazer had purchased In Loving Memory of QuintinP. "Q.B."

Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl. Thinking of you with so much love and miss you more than words can say.

Love, Grandma Fair FARR Expo it Longtime Indianapolis resident, passed on Sunday, July 6 after a lengthy battle In Loving Memory of Celina Farr July 10, 1981-Oct. 12, 1999 You are the sweetest of flowers ''In with Alzhei have zero incidents this year." Expo leaders point out that the problems have been minimal in the scope of the event's 38-year history, and that other big events also draw crowds that cause incidents. Community leaders say trouble often stems from large groups of teens walking the streets after Expo ends. To help combat that, the city will enforce its curfew law, which states that those younger than 18 must be in by 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Those ages 15 to 17 can stay out until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. "A really small proportion of teens are a large part of the problem," Newman said. He said more experienced officers who are better dispersed through the crowds should help avoid another episode like last year's police scuffle. The city also will better prepare adults from the faith community who walk the streets to keep an eye on unsupervised teens.

"We see ourselves as the peacemakers to make sure this event goes off peacefully," said the Rev. Charles Harrison, a participant in the patrols. "We're the spiritual part of the village." Call Star reporter Francesca Jarosz at (317) 444-6310. Last year, 2 teenage girls were among those arrested. From B1 isters and community members who walk the streets, acting as buffers between police and teens.

"The outcome we're looking for is not statistics it's not arrests and convictions," said Public Safety Director Scott Newman. "We're looking for a fun, constructive event that will create a favorable impression of Indianapolis." Some ministers and activists say this year's effort could help eliminate tensions that have arisen in previous years, often in the early morning hours after Expo events. Last year, two teenage girls were arrested after police said one of them fired a gun into the air. A police officer also was videotaped kicking a 17-year-old boy whom he was trying to restrain. In 2006, five people were wounded in two Downtown shootings that occurred on the streets after Expo.

"Black Expo has had a history in the past of having a shooting or some sort of incident," said Aaron Williams, director of Peace in the Streets. "We're trying to in life's garden.

We love you and miss you more than words could ever tell. Love, All Of Us GREESON mer's Disease. Grace was born in Jackson, Mississippi on January 29, 1916 and lived there until the age of 10 when she came to Indianapolis with her mother.

She often related how her new northern schoolmates would laugh at her southern accent. This made her even more determined to excel in her studies. After she graduated from high school in 1934, Grace went to Indiana State Teacher's College in Terre Haute, Indiana. Her loving parents Edgar and Sartillah Jamer-son made many sacrifices sending Grace to college, because the country was still in the grips of the Great Depression. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree and on June 24, 1938 she received her Indiana License to teach music and English at the grade school and high school level.

After having over 30 years of teaching experience, she decided to further her education and joined her daughter at Butler University where they both received their Master of Science Degrees in 1973. She had an outstanding and distinguished 42 year career in the Indianapolis Public School system, spending the most time at public schools 56, 57, and 47. Many people were fortunate early in their school career to have had a certain teacher that really made a lasting difference in their approach to life. For a multitude of students, Grace was that teacher. More than just music, she taught students life lessons.

She encouraged urban students to achieve much more than they ever thought they could. Her choirs were renowned for both their singing and their polished presentation. Her students knew that on the one hand, she was a stern disciplinarian while on the other hand, attending her class would be both a lot of fun and a learning experience. She spent many an hour after her classes were over giving additional help to those students that needed assistance with studies lessons. Sometimes that even included making sure that a student had a necessary white shirt for an upcoming choir performance.

She was truly an outstanding teacher who made sure that she would be an assets and a blessing to whatever endeavor she was involved in. Her drive and spirit infected all those around her. Grace is survived by her son, Timothy Mills; her daughter, Cheryl Chambers; her grandsons, James Chambers, Jeremy Chambers, Jason Chambers, Jeffrey Mills; great-grandson, Timothy Clark; and great-granddaughter, Jessica Mills. Calling will be on Friday, July 11, 2008 from 10 a.m. until Noon in the Chapel of Peace at Lavenia, Smith Summers Home for Funerals.
