Alâs daughter, Sandra Noe, was herself suffering from COVID-19, which she contracted while caring for her sick parents, when the virus forced Alâs hospitalization.

MICHIGAN CITY â Park Superintendent Ed Shinn was beside Mayor Duane Parry when the latter left a racist message for Pastor James Lane.
Parry told Lane, who is black, and other members of the Michigan City Spiritual Task Force about Shinnâs reaction.
âHe lowered his head, and he shook his head. He had no control over me,â Parry said. âHe did not approve of my action at all. He said, âMan, you gotta get it together.ââ
Coming Sunday, see a day in the life of Michigan City Police Officer Brian Wright.
The mayor said he has been haunted by that moment ever since.
