Thumb Garden Club mem-
bersarecelebratingtheir65th
year and looking forward to
aseasonfilledwitharomatic,

of diversified educational
programs and engaging city
officials and residents with
conservancyprojects.
President Judy Jester said
thattheclubhasalong-stand-

the majority have been in

nizationisgrowingandthere
are second-generation club
membersjoiningtheranks.
The club is a member
of the Ohio Association of
Garden Clubs (OAGC)
Region 2, a non-profit orga-
nization that promotes inter-
est in knowing, growing,
showing and sharing and to
encouragesyouthinthesame
areas. Jester said the group
is very interested in having
younger members join and
have discussed adding an
auxiliary branch that would
meetintheevenings.
Weve had younger peo-
plejoin,butthosewhowork
full-time have difficulty get-
ting to the meetings, Jester
detailed.
They have discussed a
variety of conservancy proj-
ects including a street tree
planting project with goals
thatwouldbenefitthecity.A
project of this nature would
be a collaborative enter-
prise with the city carefully
planned and designed. They
would like to work with an
organization or organiza-
tions who would donate or
offerlow-costsmallercaliper
trees. Delphos has always
been a tree city, Jester stat-
ed.Itsanareawecanreally
workon.
Over the years, Delphos
has lost many street trees or
they are in decline due to
age or an insect infestation.
Many Elm, Maple and Ash
trees have been lost to dis-
easeslikeDutchElmdisease,
Maple tree borer and most
recently,EmeraldAshBorer.
Jestersaidthattheorganized
effort with the city would
help guide residents to re-
plant trees in accordance to
municipalregulations.
Thegroupisnotjustabout
gardening. They promote
diversified educational pro-
grams and field trips explor-
ing many ecological facets.
One topic the members have
a keen interest in teaching
kids and adults, is the differ-
encebetweenHoneybeesand
YellowJackets.
People may not know
that Yellow Jackets are not
really bees, they are wasps,
Jestersaid.
Vice President Laura
Roach explained the each
year the group chooses a
project to work on. In the
recent past, the group has
donated landscape to the
Delphos Public Library
planted roses around the
gazeboand furnished the

Information submitted
COLUMBUS A Convoy
(Van Wert County) man was
sentenced for working at his
landscaping business while
receiving Ohio Bureau of
Workers Compensation
(BWC) benefits for a prior
workplace injury.
Mark Mefferd was ordered
to repay more than $18,000
after he was convicted of fraud
for improperly collecting those
benefits from BWC.
Mr. Mefferd collected BWC benefits while trimming trees,
pulling weeds, planting flowers and spreading mulch, said
BWC Administrator/CEO Steve Buehrer. We do not tolerate
those who try to defraud the workers compensation system.
Every dollar that is collected to care for injured workers must
be used for its intended purpose.
BWCs Special Investigations Unit received an allegation
that Mefferd may have returned to work while receiving BWC
benefits. Evidence indicated that Mefferd continued to operate
his business and performed landscaping services for numerous
businesses in northwest Ohio. He was receiving temporary
total, living maintenance and non-working wage loss benefits
while operating the business.
Mefferd pleaded guilty Feb. 28 to one count of workers
compensation fraud, a fifth-degree felony. He was sentenced
April 19 and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of
$18,690.63, plus court costs.

COLUMBUS A business in Van
Wert is in the crosshairs of Ohio Attorney
General Mike DeWine. On Tuesday, a law-
suit was filed against AJs Sweepstakes,
1150 S. Shannon St. for violating a state-
wide moratorium on Internet cafes. An
injunction is also being sought to keep the
enterprise from operating.
House Bill 386, which was passed last
year in Columbus, prohibited any more
Internet cafe locations after June 11, 2012.
In addition, those existing cafes were to
file an affidavit certifying existence prior
to the moratorium, and DeWine claims
there is no such affidavit on file for AJs
Sweepstakes.
While we suspect Ohio gambling laws
are likely being violated at nearly all
Internet cafes in Ohio, the clearest ille-
gal activity occurs when an establish-
ment opens in violation of the statewide
moratorium, said DeWine. My office
will not hesitate to take actions to shutter
these illegal establishments when evi-
dence shows they did not exist prior to the
moratorium.
Suits were also filed Tuesday against
operations in Wauseon and Austintown.
The sweepstakes business in Van Wert
was visited April 27 by two investigators
from the Charitable Law Section of the
Ohio Attorney Generals Office. An affi-
davit from one of the investigators stated
that he saw a gaming room with approxi-
mately 80 sweepstakes terminal devices
in operation.
He went on to say he gave the cashier
$20 which was added to a card to be used
for Internet time and an equal number of
sweepstakes points to be used on the games
offered on the terminal. He indicated the
games offered were the same he had played in
investigating other Internet cafes. There was
also a community jackpot, which meant the
machines were all together in a network.
The affidavit went on to say the sweep-
stakes points were needed to play and were
transferred to win points as the investigator
was successful at the games. When the sweep-
stakes points were used up, the customer could
then cash out or roll the win points over into
more sweepstakes points to continue playing
the games. Again, it was mentioned this was a
standard trait of Internet sweepstakes games.
Over 820 affidavits were filed with the
Ohio Attorney Generals Office pursuant
to HB 386. The affidavits represented 794
unique locations at which Internet cafes were
alleged to have existed. Subsequent verifica-
tion by BCI in the past month has determined
that 623 of those sites have an Internet caf
currently operating.
DeWine was scheduled to testify Tuesday
on HB 7, which would effectively ban sweep-
stakes establishments in Ohio, before the
Senate State Government Oversight and
Reform Committee. The Ohio Senate is
expected to vote on the legislation in the next
month. While legislation is pending, DeWine
formed the Internet Gaming Advisory Unit
within his office to help local law enforcement
and prosecutors offices with staff experts in
investigating and prosecuting Internet sweep-
stakes cases.
As of Tuesday afternoon, AJs Sweepstakes
remained open at its S. Shannon St. loca-
tion.
Addictions
chief addresses
overdose deaths
COLUMBUS Continued
bad news about drug overdose
deaths in Ohio is focusing
attention on calls to expand
Medicaid coverage for more
state residents.
The head of the states
addictions agency said
Tuesday that data showing a
record high number of deaths
from prescription painkillers
and other drugs in 2011 is one
more reason to expand the
federal-state program for poor
children and families.
Nearly five Ohioans died
every day from overdose
deaths in 2011, most of them
attributed to continued abuse
of painkillers like oxycodone
and hydrocodone as well as
rising abuse of heroin, accord-
ing to Department of Health
data released last week.
We need to make sure to
the extent that we can that
insurance is available for the
vast numbers of people in our
state struggling with addic-
tion, Orman Hall, director
of the Ohio Department of
Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Services, said Tuesday. From
my perspective, it is a moral
imperative.
Gov. John Kasichs plan to
expand Medicaid was rejected
by his fellow Republican law-
makers. Some GOP legislators
are concerned about the cost to
the federal government, while
others are philosophically
opposed to the idea because
its part of President Barack
Obamas health care plan.
The Health Department
data show the number of peo-
ple who died of accidental
overdoses jumped 14 percent
in 2011 for a total of 1,765
overall deaths.
The increase comes as
Ohio has launched numerous
efforts to crack down on ille-
gal prescription painkiller use
and distribution. That includes
shutting down clinics through-
out southern Ohio dubbed pill
mills where addicts pay cash
for painkiller prescriptions
and sometimes the pills them-
selves after undergoing
only cursory medical exams.
The state has also been
promoting use of medications
aimed at controlling addic-
tions. Earlier this month, offi-
cials announced the opening of
the Health Recovery Services
Southern Ohio Treatment
Center in Jackson. The center
offers patients counseling and
anti-addiction medication.
In October, the state
changed the way doctors can
bill Medicaid for an expensive
painkiller addiction treatment,
a move that boosted use of the
drug in Ohio.
Counselors, families affect-
ed by addiction and recover-
ing addicts shared their stories
Tuesday at a state conference
addressing the drug overdose
epidemic.
One woman told of the trau-
ma of losing her teenage son to
a single dose of methadone
he took when someone raid-
ed an elderly persons medi-
cine cabinet in New Carlisle
and passed the drugs through
school. An ex-pharmacist
from Alliance explained how
he destroyed his career and
broke up his marriage because
of a pain pill addiction that
began when he wrenched his
back.
Bethani Temple of Prospect
said she got hooked on
pain pills leftover from her
fathers cancer treatment, then
switched to heroin because
it was so much cheaper. She
stayed addicted while pregnant
with her first child, a daugh-
ter born with drug addiction
symptoms.
Eventually, an arrest and
tough treatment from a Marion
County drug court helped her
beat the addiction. Others who
Temple knew werent so lucky,
including a former boyfriend
killed in a car crash two years
ago while high on heroin.
Temple, 28, is married with
two children her 2-year-old
daughter now healthy and
about to graduate from col-
lege.
Its really important that
treatments available for all
people who are in active
addiction because if they dont
get the treatment they deserve,
theyre going to die, Temple
said. Thats the reality of this
disease.

OHIO CITY An
alleged drug house in Ohio
City was the subject of a
search Tuesday by mem-
bers of the West Central
Ohio Crime Task Force.
The residence at 208
W. Carmean St. In Ohio
City had been reported to
authorities as having drug
activity. As part of a short-
term investigation, a task
force member purchased
narcotics at the house.
The investigation ended
Tuesday at 11:06 a.m. with
the serving of a search war-
rant by the task force and
the Allen County Sheriffs
Office SWAT Team.
Of the three adults
found at the residence,
two are suspected of being
involved with the sales of
illegal drugs originating at
that house. Those two are
a 39-year-old male and a
24-year-old female. The
Van Wert County Sheriffs
Office did not release
the identities of these
two. Their names will be
released when they are for-
mally charged.
The third person found
at the house is a family
member of one of the sus-
pects and has been cleared
of any wrongdoing.
In the search, task force
members seized a small
amount of suspected heroin
and empty capsules, as well
as what the Sheriffs Office
termed as a moderate quan-
tity of suspected heroin
already in capsules for sale,
hypodermic syringes and
other drug paraphernalia.
The Van Wert County
Sheriffs Office invites
anyone with information
about drug activity or other
crimes to call (419) 238-
3866 or submit the infor-
mation online at www.
vanwertcountysheriff.com
by clicking the submit a
crime tip link. Anyone
submitting information will
be kept anonymous.
The West Central
Ohio Crime Task Force
is comprised of officers
from the Allen County
Sheriffs Office, Van Wert
County Sheriffs Office,
Lima Police Department,
Delphos Police Department,
Shawnee Township Police
Department and several
state and federal agencies.
This task force works in a
multi-county area to fight
drugs and major crimes.
Alleged Ohio City drug house raided
Ohio bills in works would
ban union requirements
COLUMBUS (AP) Less than two years after Ohio voters
overwhelmingly rejected collective bargaining limits for govern-
ment workers, Republicans in the Ohio House took the first public
steps Tuesday toward passing legislation that would prohibit requir-
ing workers to join or pay automatic dues to a union.
Similar right-to-work laws are in place in 24 states, including
neighboring Indiana and Michigan, and state Rep. Kristina Roegner
circulated a co-sponsorship request saying that she wants Ohio to
become the 25th.
Roegners Workplace Freedom bill would apply to private-
sector unions, and a companion measure from state Rep. Ron Maag
would apply to public-sector unions.
Maags letter to fellow lawmakers said the legislation means
employees would be free to choose whether or not to join a labor
union.
The measures would prohibit any requirements that employees
of public or private employers join or pay dues to any employee
organization. They also establish as state policy that each employ-
ee must be fully free to decide whether to associate, organize, des-
ignate a representative, or join or assist an employee organization,
according to Maags memo.
Democrats and labor leaders immediately leaped on the propos-
als as a slap to the strong majority of Ohio voters who repealed a
proposed collective bargaining overhaul in November 2011 that
limited the bargaining rights of public-sector workers. Almost 62
percent of voters objected to the law.
I am just appalled by the efforts of Representatives Maag and
Roegner to once again attempt to silence the voice of workers
across the state of Ohio, this time in both the public and private sec-
tor, Service Employees International Union District 1199 President
Becky Williams said in a statement. This will hurt people we trust
like librarians, nurses, mental health providers, social workers and
so many others.

The Next Generation
From the Vantage Point
New Vantage student ambassadors learn about communication skills during the
mousetrap activity during Leadership Day. (Submitted photo)
Vantage nominates student ambassadors
Theres a group of students at Vantage
who were nominated by the teachers to rep-
resent their program and their school. The
Student Ambassadors. These students were
interviewed and hand-selected, at the recom-
mendation of their teachers, to accept a lead-
ership role and represent Vantage at different
events and activities at school and in their
home communities. In addition to serving
the school in a student-leader role, meetings
provide the students with focused leadership
skills and opportunities.
You will see these students representing
Vantage at parades and community events
this summer and fall. Throughout the school
year, they serve as tour guides to visitors to
the building. They will be on hand during new
student/parent orientation at the beginning of
the school year to help direct our newcomers
to their labs and classrooms. In January, some
of these students will share their story when
talking to sophomores about the opportunities
at Vantage. They will welcome community
members to the annual Vantage Open House
and serve as the liaison to their home school.
The first step on the journey of an ambas-
sador was Leadership Day, which was held
on April 22. All 31 new junior ambassadors
(plus 4 senior ambassadors and advisors)
traveled to the Van Wert YWCA to participate
in team-building activities and idea sharing.
Afterwards, a community service project at
the Van Wert Senior Center clearing out
and helping to organize the big garage for the
annual fundraiser was the focus of their
attention. They swept floors, lifted tables,
moved furniture, emptied containers, and
broke down boxes for recycling. It looked
very different from when they started.
Vantage is very proud of the 2013-14 student
ambassadors. They are: Shana Brincefield,
Libbi Brown, Dustin Carter, Nicholas
Dangler, Ashley Deleon, Emily Farr, Taylor
Farr, Marissa Garza, Bethany Heiser, Kurt
Hoersten, Andrew Horstman, Adam Jurczyk,
Kenny King, Clirissa McMonigal, Devin
Mershman, Layna Mihm, Dalton Miles, Lydia
Myers, Isaac Nichols, Evan Prowant, Brian
Richey, Cailah Rickard, Hannah Robach,
Ciera Saxton, Jacob Schlegel, Alex Schnipke,
Ben Schnipke, Erica Sill, Justin Stricklant,
Austen Stukey and Alexandra Winebrenner.
Advisors for the group are Nancy Keith, Tony
Unverferth and MaryJo Wilhelm.

Amish Cook busy with
doctors appointments
BY LOVINA EICHER
We are having cold, rainy
weather again. Monday was
nice and sunny so we could
get the laundry all dried.
We are out of coal so hope-
fully it wont get too cold
yet. It looks like it will be
a late spring. So different
from the early spring we had
last year. The riv-
ers are overflow-
ing. There are even
a few snow flurries
mixed in with the
light rain and the
temperature is at
35 degrees.
Susan, Verena
and Benjamin
filled out applica-
tions for corn de-
tasseling. We arent
sure if Benjamin will be able
to go. If he does, he would
have to wait until his 14th
birthday which is July 14. He
is really hoping he can go.
This is always disappointing
to Loretta since she knows
she wont be able to go next
year. It would be way too
much walking for her. She
just gets tired enough from
the whole day in school.
Last week, we had Kevin
fitted for braces (leg). He
was very upset with it all
and doesnt really understand
about muscular dystrophy.
It makes our hearts ache to
think of their future. That is
why it is so important that we
let God be in control and try
to accept His plan. Kevin
likes to take protein shakes
and tells us he is trying to not
get MD. He always asks for
vitamins so that he can stay
strong he says. Such a young
age and so hard for him to
understand.
He likes to bike and keeps
asking us when we will bike
with him to go to Jacob and
Emmas house.
He did bike the
4 miles there and
back last summer.
My daily
prayer is to stay
strong and help
them accept what
is Gods plan in
their life. There
are a lot of chil-
dren in this world
with problems so
much worse than MD. That
makes us think of how many
blessings we do have.
Our neighbor Joe and his
friend helped my husband Joe
put up 2 swings from the big
oak tree branches. The ropes
had tore on the old swings
and Loretta kept asking if we
could get new rope. She loves
to sit out there and swing
when the other children are
biking or playing ball.
Our neighbor, Joe, lives
right beside us and his
85-year-old grandmother
Irene lives across the road.
They are both very helpful
neighbors. Irene is still very
active and does all her house-
work, mowing and has a gar-
den. In the middle of the win-
ter, you will see her driving
her tractor to carry the wood
to her house. She splits all
her wood with a wood splitter
for the next winter. We wish
her many more happy and
healthy years.
After school today, I need
to take daughter Verena to
have a root canal done at the
dentist. She had an abscessed
tooth. She went through a
lot of pain until she took the
antibiotic. The dentist hopes
the root canal will work oth-
erwise he will have pull it.
This is the third day this
week that I have to take one
of the children to an appoint-
ment.
I want to get some sewing
done today. Daughter Susan
is getting ready to bake choc-
olate chip cookies.

DELPHOS St. Johns went toe-to-toe
with Midwest Athletic Conference baseball
power Versailles for six innings on a pleasant
and sunny Tuesday night at Stadium Park.
Alas, baseball is a game of seven innings
and the visiting Tigers scored three times in
the top of the inning to grab a 5-2 victory.
We went toe-to-toe with a very good
Versailles team. We were right in it until the
seventh, when they made some things hap-
pen, Blue Jays coach Ryan Warnecke said.
We were coming off a disastrous Saturday
doubleheader loss and we moved some peo-
ple around defensively. We were much better
there; I think weve finally found the right
combination and hope we can build on this.
The Tigers (16-5, 4-1 MAC) did the dam-
age in the seventh with one out against lefty
reliever Drew Wagner (0-4; 1 2/3 innings,
3 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned, 2 bases-on-balls, 2
strikeouts). A 1-out walk to Mike Davidson
and a 2-out single to right by Dan Borchers
put runners at second and third, the batter
taking second on the throw to third. Jake
Wenning grounded a single up the gut to score
both and took third on an error on the play. He
scored on Craig Langenkamps liner to right
center for a 5-2 edge.
You saw how we do it. We compete and
compete for seven innings, Versailles coach
Mitch Hoying explained. We arent always
pretty but it is effective. We didnt bat as
effectively as we could but that was partly due
to their pitchers ability to throw the breaking
ball up and we went for it. Langenkamp, on
in relief in the sixth (1-1; 1 1/3 IPS, 1 hit), set
the Blue Jays (4-10, 1-3 MAC) down in order
in the bottom of the inning.
Blue Jay starter T.J. Hoersten (5 1/3 IPs, 7
hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 4 BBS, 2 Ks) allowed
two base-runners in the top of the first with
one down but left them there (12 Tigers were
stranded for the game).
Jace Barga ripped a triple to right center to
start the Tiger second but got caught at home
on a perfect relay from first sacker Wagner on
a Dan Borchers groundout.
The Jays had a golden chance in the
home half against Tiger lefty starter Lee
Ruhenkamp (3 IPs, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 2 Ks)
with a 1-out misplayed grounder by Wagner,
a balk and a double to left center by Hoersten;
however, Wagner held up at second in case
the ball was caught and only got to third. A
comebacker and strikeout ended that threat.
The Tigers got a run in the top of the third
on a leadoff single (Mike Rutschilling), a
hit batter (Mitch Gigandet), a wild pitch, a
walk to Damien Richard and an outfield error
on a liner by Kyle Niekamp. An out later,
Barga forced Gigandet at home and Borchers
popped out to keep the score at 1-0, Versailles.
The Jays tied it at 1-1 in the home half.
Ben Wrasman lined a hit up the gut and Curtis
Geise singled to left. Clay Courtney sacrificed
them up and Troy Warnecke flied out to right
center, with centerfielder Gigandet making a
diving catch, scoring Wrasman and sending
Geise to third. He was left there.
The Jays threatened again in the fourth.
Wagner got aboard on an error, ending
Ruhenkamps day for Richard (2 2/3 IPs, 1
hit, 1 earned run, 3 BBs, 5 Ks). Two outs
later, Gage Seffernick singled up the gut and
Wrasman loaded the bases as his grounder
was misplayed. However, Geise flied out to
deep center to leave the sacks juiced.
Versailles went up 2-1 in the fifth on a
leadoff walk to Richard, a steal and a hustle
play on Davidsons grounder between third
baseman Craig Klausing and diving shortstop
Curtis Geise, scoring when the ball snuck
into left field. Courtney led off the fifth with
a walk but got no farther.

Lady Knights edge Bearcats
By NICK JOHNSON
DHI Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY The Crestview Knights faced off against the Spencerville Bearcats at
Crestview High School on a breezy Tuesday night for Northwest Conference varsity softball.
The Knights and Bearcats were locked in a pitchers duel for 5 1/2 innings before the Knights
scored to win the game 2-0.
Spencerville loaded the bases to start the game with a single from Alyssa Mulholland and
Tori Johnston sandwiched in between a Hannah Keller walk. Luckily for the Knights, Kirsten
Hicks (4-hit shutout, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts) bowed her back, struck out the next two batters and
got a line-out to end the top of the first.
Crestview led off the third and fourth innings with doubles from Mariah Henry and Terra
Crowle but neither runner could dent the plate due to the good pitching from Alex Shumate
(5-hit complete game, 3 BBS, 5 Ks) and good defense from the Bearcats.
With a runner on first and one out in the top of the fourth inning, Shelby Mulholland
doubled but the runner on first, Mackenzie Ringwald, could only make it to third base. Both
runners were stranded on base when Hicks struck out the next Bearcat batter.
In the Knight half of the sixth inning, Crestview got singles from Crowle and Brittany Helt
and Emily Bauer was hit-by-pitch to load the bases. Henry singled to center field to bring home
one run and after a bad throw by the Bearcat centerfielder, a second runner scored for a 2-0
Knight lead.
During the final chance for Spencerville to try and extend the game, Ringwald led off the
frame with a double, which brought the tying run to the dish. Fortunately for the Knights, Hicks
got the next three batters out.
We played seven good innings. I think the girls came out and gave Crestview everything
they wanted, Spencerville coach Jeff Johnston said. We have a young and inexperienced
team and to come out and play a 2-run game against the state champs, that means we are on
the verge. We had a freshman on the mound tonight and a couple sophomores in the field and
you just build on a game like this. We left bases loaded in the first didnt score and in a
couple innings between, we got runners in scoring position; we just couldnt get them across.
Ringwald led the Lady Bearcats (3-8, 2-1 NWC) at the plate with a 2-for-3 game with a
double. Alyssa Mulholland, Tori Johnston and Shelby Mulholland all had singles.
Spencerville is a much-improved team; like the coach was telling the girls, we had a couple
plays where the wind helped us and a couple where the wind hurt us, Crestview mentor Owen
Pugh said. I guess I cant say enough about Spencerville and how tough they came and played
us. We did a lot of things right, it was just that they came through and made some plays to stop
us. Kirsten Hicks pitched the game of her life.
Crowle was 2-for-3 for the Knights (11-6, 6-0 NWC) and Henry 2-for-2 (2 doubles).
Crestview visits Bath tonight (5 p.m.) and Spencerville visits Paulding Thursday.
Score by Innings:
Spencerville 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 4 2
Crestview 0 0 0 0 0 2 x - 2 5 1

Helm blanks Lancers
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY In a battle of Van Wert County, it was host Crestview and the pitching arm of
Damian Helm who shut down visiting Lincolnview and blanked the Lancers 3-0 in Northwest
Conference baseball action.
Helm was in control from the start, retiring the first nine Lancer hitters and really was never
threatened as Crestview moved to 8-3 overall and 5-0 in the league.
The junior hurler limited the blue and gold to three hits, two of which were infield singles,
and struck out 14 batters.
Damian was really in control tonight, noted Knight head coach Jim Wharton. He had
great command and was able to hit locations. He didnt throw many bad pitches tonight and
when he throws like that, he is tough to hit.
Helm threw 98 pitches on the night, including 65 for strikes. Helm also threw first-pitch
strikes to 12 of the 24 hitters he faced and trailed in the count after three pitches only six times
all night.
He was in the strike zone all night tonight, continued Wharton.
After Lincolnview went down in order in the first, the host Knights struck in the bottom of
the inning.

OTTOVILLE Twice Ottoville was down to their final
outs in what was a key Putnam County League game for the
Big Green.
Both times the Big Green offense responded. Their biggest
comeback was in the tenth inning as Ottoville was down to
their final out and down two runs. Thats when the Big Green
put together a three run rally for a 6-5 PCL win that kept them
in the thick of the league race.
The win moved Ottoville to 4-1 in the PCL, a half game
back of undefeated Miller City (2-0), who the Big Green host
next Tuesday afternoon. Ft. Jennings dropped to 4-9 on the
season with the loss.
The win not only kept the Big Green alive in the PCL race,
but was the 200th career coaching win for Ottoville coach
Tony Castronova. The 200 wins come from his 17 years
coaching at Ottoville and two seasons at Lordstown High
School in Warren.
Its kind of an emotional time for me, Castronova said.
I never said anything to the kids about it, my assistant coach
knew, its kind of a personal thing. Its never about the years
Ive been here or the numbers, its about every kid that I have
coached in my 17 years here. Its all the kids Ive coached
and when you see them over the holidays, thats what is more
important to me and these guys are a part of it and its some-
thing we will talk about. Thats the great part of it.
The milestone nearly had to wait until another day as the
Big Green missed out on two bases loaded scoring chances in
the eighth and ninth, then found themselves down 5-3 after
the Musketeers batted in the top of the tenth. In both bases
loaded situations, the Big Green had just one out before the
Ft. Jennings defense and pitchers made plays to keep the game
going.
After Ottovilles second missed opportunity, Ft. Jennings
came up with two runs in the tenth inning as Kurt Warnecke
and Jared Hoersten walked. Ryan Rau lined a single to left
that scored a run to break the 3-3 tie. Fort Jennings loaded
the bases when Bret Clay reached on an error at second base.
At that point, the Big Green changed pitchers as Joel
Beining came on to pitch. Caleb Bankey greeted Beining with
a long single down the left field line. Hoersten sored eas-
ily from third and Rau atttempted to score from second, but
Turnwald was able to get to the ball quickly and fire a strike
to catcher Luke Schimmoeller for an out. On the throw home,
Bankey took off for second and Schimmoeller threw to second
at which time Clay attempted to score from third. Bankey was
safe at second, but the throw from the second base was in time
to cut down Clay at the plate to keep the score at 5-3.
In the bottom of the inning, Rau got off to a good start as
Warnecke made a nice running catch on a foulball for the first
out. Alex Horstman followed with a single to right field to
give Ottoville a base runner before Rau came within an out of
the win with a strikeout.
Derek Schimmoeller gave the Big Green hope as he
walked before Turnwald followed with a single up the middle
that scored Horstman making it a 5-4 game. A wild pitch
moved the base runners to second and third before Luke
Schimmoeller singled to center to tie the game at 5-5 and
leaving runners at first and third. Bryan Hohlbein followed
with a sharp grounder to the right of Clay at shortstop. Clay
made a bare handed grab of the ball and briefly bobbled it that
allowed Hohlbein to reach and Turnwald to score the game
winning run.
This was a typical PCL game right there, Castronova
said. We kept on battling back. Weve been doing that quite a
bit all year. We had those runners on base, bases loaded twice,
and I was like here we go again, then we were down two. You
want your meat of the order up and we did that. Senior Bryan
Hohlbein hit the ball hard and forced them to make a play.
Give our guys credit, they kept fighting and fighting. They
never quit.
We had them on the ropes in the tenth, and in the seventh,
and they found a way to battle back, Ft. Jennings coach Eric
Schaub said. The kid were just making plays all over the
place. It was one heck of a ball game. Our pitchers made some
great pitches to get us out of jams in the eighth and ninth.
They just dug down deep and made some plays.
For five innings it looked like Ottovilles pitching would
lead them to the win as Derek Schimmoeller and Horstman
combined on a no hitter. Schimmoeller went four innings not
allowing a hit, while walking one. He left before the fifth
started turning the mound over to Horstman.
Horstman continued the no-hitter into the sixth when Ft.
Jennings Mark Metzger reached on a one out infield single.
The single opened the door for the Musketeers as Alex Sealts,
Alex Vetter (RBI) and Warnecke (RBI) all had singles.
Hoersten reached on an error before a sacrifice fly by Rau had
the Musketeers up 3-1.
In baseball hitting is contagious, Schaub said. Once one
guy does it, the next guy does it. We finally broke through in
the sixth inning and had a 3-1 lead and couldnt shut them out
in the seventh. Give credit to my guys for not giving up or
hanging up the shoes. Going into the sixth inning no-hit they
could have easily gave up and not finished the game, but they
kept battling and battling.
While the Musketeers were no hit for five innings they
finished the game with 11 hits, two each by Metzger, Vetter,
Warnecke and Bankey.
Ft. Jennings had a chance to extend their lead in the top
of the seventh as Bankey was on third base with one out.
Horstman kept him there as he struck out the leadoff batter
before getting a groundball to third.
Ottoville tied the game in the bottom of the seventh as
Jarrod Fanning reached second on an error and scored on a
sigle by Horstman. Horstman took second on a sacrifice and
was balked to third before scoring on a fielder choice ground-
out by Derek Schimmoeller as the Musketeers attempted to
cut down Horstman at the plate.
Derek Schimmoeller, Turnwald, Hohlbein, Brandon
Boecker and Horstman all had two hits for Ottoville. Joel
Beining picked up the win in relief as he worked two-thirds
of an inning.
Rau took the loss as he went 2 2/3 innings. Warnecke
worked seven full innings.

SPENCERVILLE Spencervilles base-
ball crew started well Monday, getting a
3-0 lead over Northwest Conference over
Lincolnview at Mike Whitling Memorial
Field in Spencerville.
The Lancers pulled even at 3-3 in the top
of the fourth and then the Bearcats finished
the Lancers off by scoring five runs in their
next three at-bats to grab an 8-3 triumph.
Bearcat starter Jon Bubba Shimp got
the win with 5 2/3 starting innings (7 hits, 3
runs, 1 earned, 1 base-on-balls, 2 strikeouts;
101 pitches, 66 for strikes) and James Schaad
came on to mop up (1 1/3 IPs, 1 hit, 1 BB).
The Bearcats (2-9, 1-3 NWC) got outhit
8-5 but took advantage of six free passes and
two hit batters. James Schaad and Joel Shimp,
the number 1 and 2 batters in the lineup,
scored twice each.
Lancer southpaw Jalen Roberts didnt give
up a hit but walked three and hit two in his 2/3
of an inning, ceding three earned runs. Derek
Youtsey (0-1) took the loss with 3 1/3 innings
of relief (3 hits, 4 runs, 3 earned, 3 BBs, 2 Ks)
and Nick Leeth mopped up (2 IPS, 2 hits, 1
earned run, 1 K).
Wyatt Schmersal led the Lancers (4-8, 2-3
NWC) with a 2-for-3 day at the plate, while
Connor McCleery was 2-for-4.
The Bearcats scored three runs in the first
inning against Roberts without benefit of a
hit. Schaad and Joel Shimp walked and Sean
Monfort was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Aaron Crider was plunked, forcing home
Schaad. An out hence, Tanner Koverman
flied out to center, plating Shimp for a 2-0
edge. Wyatt Krouskop was hit by a pitch to
load the bases again, finishing Roberts for
Youtsey. The reliever walked David Wisher
to bring home Monfort for a 3-0 edge.
However, the next batter struck out to leave
the bases juiced.
The Lancers tried to answer in the sec-
ond on a 1-out liner to right by McCleery.
However, he was eliminated by a Tyler
Richey grounder and Schaad recorded the
final out of the frame.
The visitors again tried to rally in the third.
Troy Patterson struck out on a pitch in the dirt
but got to first; he went to third on a 1-out
double to right center by Nick Leeth but third
sacker Koverman robbed Austin Leeth of a
potential 2-run double with a diving catch of
his hard liner and the visitors left both run-
ners on.
The Lancers tied it up in the top of the
fourth. Matt Oeschle led off the frame with
a liner to left and McCleery grounded a hit
up the middle. Richey laid down a sacri-
fice; an error on the play allowed Oeschle
to score and put McCleery at third. After
Richey swiped second, McCleery scored on
a grounder by Youtsey. An out hence, Richey
scored from third on a run-scoring single to
left by Schmersal.
After going in order in the second and
third frames, Krouskop led off the Bearcat
fourth with a solo blast over the 325-foot
mark in left field for a 4-3 edge.
Lincolnview got a 2-out free pass to
Oeschle in the fifth but he went no farther.
The hosts made it 7-3 in the fifth. Joel
Shimp doubled to right center, advanced on
a ground ball by Monfort and scored on an
error on the sequence. Aaron Crider walked
and Bubba Shimp lined a shot to left to score
pinch-runner Dusty Settlemire and a 6-3
spread. Koverman walked, finishing Youtsey
on the mound and bringing in Nick Leeth.
Krouskop grounded out to second to score
pinch-runner Damian Corso; on the sequence,
Koverman got doubled up for the second out.
Wisher lined hard to first sacker McCleery to
keep the score 7-3.
In the sixth, the Lancers got a 1-out infield
liner by Youtsey off Kovermans glove for a
hit but he was cut down on Pattersons ground
ball. Schmersal singled to left, ending Bubba
Shimps pitching day and bringing in Schaad.
He induced a comebacker to end the threat.
The hosts scored the final tally of the night
in the sixth. With one gone, Schaad singled to
left, stole second and scored on a 2-out bloop
to short center by Monfort to make it 8-3.
Austin Leeth started the Lancer seventh
with a free pass and Kyle Williams beat out
an infield chopper. He was eliminated on
an Oeschle grounder to put runners on the
corners but McCleerys grounder to second
started a 6-4-3 twin-killing to end the game.
We had scored our first three runs without
benefit of a hit. We went into a lull offen-
sively until Wyatt, a freshman, hit that home
run; that seemed to energize our dugout again
and we added some runs, Spencerville coach
Troy Montenery explained. We got a great
performance out of Bubba on the mound; he
and Joel (Shimp) have started to give us per-
formances like that consistently, especially
when we moved Joel from the bullpen. We
got help from our defense tonight. Weve lost
games simply because of our defense but we
made the plays we needed to tonight. Lancer
coach Kevin Longstreth was frustrated.
We did not start out well. Jalen couldnt
throw strikes for some reason but Derek
came in and did what he had to; kept us
in the game, Longstreth added. We did
battle back but couldnt finish it. We preach
having a strong mental attitude no matter
the situation. Baseball will have its ups and
downs and we just have weather the downs
better. We have to get tougher mentally.
Lincolnview is at USV 5 p.m. Wednesday and
hosts Allen East Thursday; Spencerville visits
Paulding Thursday.

(Continued from page 6)
With two outs, Venice Roberts
singled to center field before a sin-
gle to right by Jake Harmon put
runners at first and second. Bryce
Richardson then followed with a
RBI single that plated Roberts for a
1-0 Knight advantage. Lincolnview
starter Eli Farmer escaped further
damage by getting Cam Etzler to
fly out.
Farmer kept his team in the
game, tossing five innings while
scattering six hits and allowed three
runs. He struck out two but walked
four.
The Lancers got their first hit of
the night in the fourth. Leading off,
Nick Leeth reached on an infield
single up the middle that Knight
second baseman Brock Rolsten
made a diving stop on but couldnt
get a throw off. However, Helm
retired the next three Lincolnview
hitters to keep it 1-0.
Crestview, though, would add
two more in the home half of the
inning. Etzler walked to start the
inning and Jordan Roop followed
with a walk. Following a sacrifice
bunt by Nate Owens to advance the
runners to second and third, Rolsten
singled to right to score both Etzler
and Roop for a 3-0 Knight advan-
tage.
From there, it was Helms night
to finish. The Knight pitcher set
down the Lancers in order in the
fifth before Leeth picked up his
second infield single of the night
in the sixth but Lincolnview failed
to score.
Connor McCleery also added a
1-out single to right in the seventh
for the Lancers but Helm would
shut the door to seal the Crestview
win.
Isaiah Simerman had a double
for the Knights with Roberts chip-
ping in a single. Richardson added
two singles and Jake Harmon a
single. Rolsten had the other Knight
hit, a single.
Crestview hosts Van Wert

Vikings outlast Kalida in PCL

baseball
By Dave Boninsegna
The Delphos Herald
zsportslive@yahoo.com
LEIPSIC Offense wasnt
the name of the game on Tuesday
afternoon in Leipsic as the Kalida
Wildcats and host Vikings com-
bined for just five runs and the like
number of hits.
Leipsic hurlers Isaiah Lomeli
and Devin Mangas outdueled the
Kalida tandem of Kyle Kehres and
Austin Swift as the Vikings came
away with a 4-1 victory.
Mangas was 1-for-2 with a pair
of runs batted in for Leipsic.
Swift drove in the lone Wildcat
run in a 1-for-3 performance.
Kehres started on the hill for
the Wildcats and held the hosts hit-
less for 4 1/3 innings before a Josh
Gerten bunt single broke up the
no-hitter.
However, a walk and two errors
in the third for the Vikings put
the home team on the board first.
Kehres struck out the first two bat-
ters before giving up a free pass to
Gerten. The Vikings second base-
man moved to second and third
on wild pitches but on the move to
third, the attempt to throw him out
went into left field, allowing the
first run of the game to come across
and giving the Vikings a 1-0 lead
after three.
Kalida tied the game in the fifth
with a run of its own. Randy Zeller
reached on a fielders choice. Brent
Hovest singled. Zeller came into
score on a Swift single but Hovest
was thrown out attempting to go
from first to third on the Swift sin-
gle, ending the Wildcats inning
with the scored tied at 1 apiece.
The Vikings rebounded in their
half of the frame, scoring three
times. Dylan Schey and Neil
Haselman drew 1-out walks and
moved up a base each when Josh
Gerten (2-for-2) dropped a bunt
down the third-base line to load
the bases. One batter later, Mangas
drilled a 2-run single to the outfield,
bringing home Schey and Haselman
to make it 3-1. Gerten moved to
third and came into to score on a
wild pitch, setting the score at 4-1
in favor of the hosts.
From there, the pitchers duel
resumed as Vikings reliever Mangas
and Kalida reliever Swift battled
scoreless the rest of the way, each
not yielding a hit.
Mangas retired the final six bat-
ters he faced; Swift set down three
out of four, with one reaching on a
dropped third strike.
The Leipsic win is their fourth in
a row as they move to 9-6 overall;
the Wildcats drop to 2-11 overall.
Kalida visits Cory-Rawson 5
p.m. Thursday.

8 The Herald Wednesday, May 1, 2013 www.delphosherald.com
The Jays tied it at 2-2 in the
sixth. Hoersten led off the inning
with a walk and advanced to sec-
ond and third on a Craig Klausing
bunt and 2-out wild pitch. Wrasman
walked, bringing Langenkamp to
the mound. Geise lined a hit to
right, scoring Hoersten and putting
runners on the corners. He stole sec-
ond but the Jays left two stranded.
T.J. pitched really well today.
He gave us everything he could
against a very good hitting team,
Coach Warnecke added. For the
first three or four innings, we cut
down on our strikeouts and put the
ball in play. After that, we went
back to striking out.
If we had fielded the ball better,
Lee would have gone longer; he
deserved a better fate but we really
needed to win this game to stay in
the league race, so we went to both
Damien and Craig, Hoying added.
St. Johns and Versailles return
to MAC play: the Jays versus New
Knoxville (makeup game) at 5 p.m.
Thursday and Versailles at home
against Minster Friday.

DEAR BRUCE: My
mother passed away in
October. I was the sole
beneficiary of all her
life insurance policies,
which total more than
$40,000.
My question is, what
should I do with the
money? I am 50 years
old and have a fairly decent job, with a retirement and a
deferred comp in place of a 401(k). I can retire in six years.
My house will be paid for by then, and the only other payment
I have is a car payment.
Should I pay off these loans or invest? I dont know any-
thing about investing. Can you point me in the right direction?
-- T.M., via email
DEAR T.M.: You mention that you have a mortgage
and that it will be paid off within six years when you retire.
Assuming that your mortgage interest rate may be higher than
what is available now, I would pay off the mortgage. Y o u
mention that you dont know anything about investing. The
best thing to do is to educate yourself. If there is any money
left over, put it into a six-month CD. You will get almost noth-
ing for it, but in that six months, start reading the investment
section of your local newspaper. Pick up copies of Money
magazine and Forbes. If you do this on a regular basis, you will
be surprised how much you can learn.
With a relatively modest amount of money to invest, there
is no place you can go to get advice without some cost. If you
choose to use a broker, make sure you tell him or her what your
tolerance for risk is -- if you dont know, the broker will help
you decide. The broker can make up a sample portfolio that
shows how your money would be invested. Just a note: If you
are risk-averse, you will be condemned to almost no return on
your investment.
DEAR BRUCE: I am executor of my fathers estate, and
I live overseas. My father passed away, and the estate has not
been probated. I have been attempting to transfer some out-
standing shares of stock, approximately $10,000 worth, into
my name so they can be sold and split between the siblings.
The company holding the shares wants some verifying docu-
ments, such as a gold medallion, which I cant get where I
live.
To alleviate this problem, I want to transfer the executor-
ship of the will to my brother so he can take care of it. What
is involved in changing the executors on a will? -- Reader, via
email
DEAR READER: I dont believe you can transfer the
executorship of a will in the way you would like. What you
can do is renounce the executorship. Ask the surrogate court in
the state where your father lived and where the will was filed
to see if such a renouncement could be accomplished. Your
brother then can apply to the surrogate court to be the admin-
istrator of the estate, with all of the rights and responsibilities
that you now have.
It sounds complicated, but you should be able to get this
done with reasonable promptness and at little cost.
DEAR BRUCE: Several years ago when our economy
tanked, I filed bankruptcy against several credit card compa-
nies for approximately $50,000. I had no other option and did
so with tremendous regret.
Now I am determined to attempt to reconcile this situation.
Although I have no assets to do so, I feel that I must try. Can
you advise me on the best way to do this, or would I just be
opening up a can of worms? -- S.S., via email
DEAR S.S.: I congratulate you for having this moral sense.
I understand the pangs of regret, but the reality is that the com-
panies involved have long since written off the bankruptcy
discharges.
In my opinion, it would be best to let this dead dog lie. I
wouldnt make any effort to contact the companies. Maybe
when you get a few extra bucks, you could help out a charity.
At least youd be giving something back, albeit it in a different
way.

In Consumer Reports latest
tests of interior paints, a new-
comer, Clark+Kensington,
outperformed products from
Benjamin Moore, Behr
and other big name brands.
Clark+Kensington, sold only
at Ace hardware
stores, earned the
highest scores of
65 products eval-
uated for overall
finish, ability to
hide and more.
When choos-
ing paint, dont
assume a leading brand you
swore by last time will do
just as well this time around,
said Bob Markovich, home
and yard editor for Consumer
Reports. Our tests found
paints can vary year to year
-- and a bigger name does not
always equal a better prod-
uct.
Consumer Report s
found Clark+Kensington
paint to be top in satin
and semigloss finishes,
and among the best for flat
paints. It was also impres-
sive at hiding, leaving a
smooth finish that resisted
stains, and scrubbing. Its
volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) are low enough to
meet the toughest, regional
California standards.
While Clark+Kensington
is available only at Ace stores,
other paints that were great
at hiding, durable, washable
and low in VOCs are as close
as Home Depot, Lowes and
Benjamin Moore retailers.
And while new formulas
have improved some paints,
others performed worse
than they did
just a year ago
in Consumer
Reports tests.
Compared with
earlier ver-
sions, the Behr
Premium Plus
Satin Enamel
wasnt quite as good at hid-
ing, and it became dull when
cleaned.
Some paints, such as
Olympic One Flat Enamel,
improved at hiding. Better
hiding also helped move
Valspar Signature matte and
semigloss up in Consumer
Reports Ratings, joining
Behr in besting Benjamin
Moore, which costs roughly
twice as much, among flat
and semigloss paints.
Twenty of Consumer
Reports top picks let con-
sumers skip priming and
paint directly over old finish-
es, bare wood and wallboard.
One coat of a Recommended
paint should be enough to
hide most colors beneath it,
though a second coat adds
richness and results in a more
even finish, even for top per-
formers.
Since colors often look
different in different lights,
Consumer Reports suggests
buying a sample, painting a
patch and living with it for
a day or two before buying
more. Here are three things
to consider when choosing
paint:
Go online before hit-
ting the store. Manufacturer
and retailer websites and
Facebook pages offer a
wealth of tips on choosing
colors, including photo gal-
leries of finished rooms and
calculators to help consumers
figure out how much paint
will do the trick. Those are
also the places to check for
deals, such as free samples,
moving discounts and rebates
if consumers are unhappy
with the color after its been
applied.
Find the perfect color.
Certain hues are specific to a
brand, but retailers can often
match colors. Paint-color
formula books and color-
matching computer technol-
ogy means consumers dont
have to rely on the skills of
a sales clerk, though one
with a good eye and mixing
equipment with clean noz-
zles may be able to match
colors, too.
Match sheen to surface.
The best low-luster satin and
eggshell paints offer easy
hiding and durability, making
them ideal for most surfaces.
Flat paints hide flaws bet-
ter but are less resistant to
stains and smudges, so use in
low-traffic areas. Semigloss
works well for trim and other
surfaces that dont need to
be wiped frequently, because
repeated cleaning will dull
most finishes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A bill that
would immediately halt the expansion of
Internet cafes in Ohio cleared a legislative
panel Tuesday evening and was headed for a
vote by the full state Senate.
The measure would extend a current mora-
torium on the opening of new sweepstakes
gambling operations until June 2014, as law-
makers consider a ban on the facilities. The
legislation also would require operators of
current facilities to file more thorough affida-
vits of existence with the state. And those who
dont submit a new affidavit could face a fine
of up to $1,000 a day.
The states attorney general could also
prosecute an operator or employee for provid-
ing false information on the new form.
The Senates government oversight com-
mittee cleared the measure on Tuesday. A
full Senate vote could come on Wednesday.
Should it pass, the bill would then go to the
House for consideration.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine calls
the cafes illegal gambling operations and
wants them shut down. The industry calls
them legal. Patrons buy cards for phone and
Internet time with chances to play computer
games that operate like slot machines with
cash prizes.
DeWine told the committee in testimony
Tuesday that the operations were mini casi-
nos. He described them as unregulated and a
drain on law enforcement resources.
I believe theyre consumer rip-offs, he
said.
At the urging of some of the states top
law enforcers, Ohio Senate President Keith
Faber said last week that a majority of his
Republican caucus now agrees the cafes are
involved in criminal activities, including ille-
gal gambling, and should be outlawed.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Americans are more optimis-
tic the job market is healing
and will deliver higher pay
later this year. That rosy out-
look, along with rising home
prices, cheaper gasoline and
a surging stock market, could
offset some of the drag from
the recent tax increases and
government spending cuts.
A gauge of consumer con-
fidence rose in April, revers-
ing a decline in March, the
Conference Board, a private
research group, said Tuesday.
The board attributed the gain
to optimism about hiring and
pay increases. Economists
also cited higher home values
and record stock prices.
Despite the rise in the
index, to 68.1 from 61.9 in
March, confidence remains
well below its historic average
of 92. Still, the increase sig-
naled that consumers, whose
spending drives about 70 per-
cent of the economy, see bet-
ter times ahead.
A separate report Tuesday
showed that home prices
nationwide rose in February
by the most in nearly seven
years. The Standard & Poors/
Case-Shiller 20-city home
price index jumped 9.3 per-
cent in February from a year
earlier. Prices in all 20 cities
rose on an annual basis for a
second straight month.
Phoenix led all cities with
a year-over-year price gain
of 23 percent. Floyd Scott,
owner-broker at Century 21
in Phoenix, said demand is
particularly strong for homes
priced below $300,000.
Because of a tight supply,
homes for sale are routinely
receiving multiple offers, he
said. Thats driving prices up.
Now the job market is
starting to improve, so young-
er adults are moving out and
either getting an apartment or
a house, he said.

Answer to Puzzle
Dear Sara:
I accidentally
washed a tube
of lipstick in a
load of whites.
It is all over
everything. I
tried rewashing
it with
OxiClean, to no
avail. I tried spot cleaning and gave up because
there are hundreds of spots on each article. Any
ideas? -- N.M., Wisconsin
Dear N.M.: Try shaving cream, vodka or
hair spray. Blot stains using a white washcloth
so you can see how much of the stain is
lifting, then launder as usual. If that doesnt
work well enough, try blotting with glycerin,
rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol, then
apply Dawn dishwashing liquid and launder
as usual. A fellow reader, Meg, emailed a tip
recently that worked on lipstick. She suggested
Carbona stain remover products. Carbona can
be purchased online at carbona.com.

until late at night, so I was the
frst one up every morning. Im
an early riser anyway.
I like reading the news-
paper with my breakfast, so
when Id get up, Id go out-
side and pick up the paper
and bring it in. My wife says
it was wrong to get the paper
before our host-
ess. Anyway, after
a couple of days,
the school friend
seemed in a snit
about something,
and my wife says
that was the rea-
son, even though
she never said
so when I asked
whether some-
thing was bother-
ing her.
Recently, we
were invited to stay with dif-
ferent friends for a weekend,
and I am getting no end of
hassle from my wife to make
sure I wait for our hosts to fn-
ish with the paper. I fgure Ill
just go out for coffee some-
where and buy a paper. My
wife says it would be rude to
take off at breakfast. Is this
idiotic or what? California
Dear California: It
would be rude to read the pa-
per in such a way that your
hosts must wait for you to
fnish, or that you drag sec-
tions of it all over the house
and fll in all the clues to the
crossword puzzle. But there
is nothing wrong with read-
ing the paper early, putting
it back together nicely and
having it available to your
hosts when they awaken.
You can resolve this sim-
ply enough. When you ar-
rive, inform your hosts that
you are an early riser, and ask
whether they would mind if
you fetch their paper and read
it with your coffee, promising
to keep it in pristine condition
for when they are ready to
read it. You also could offer
to go to the local coffee shop
and bring back coffee and
muffns (and a newspaper)
for everyone else.
Dear Annie: I need to
vent. My daughter, my
8-year-old granddaugh-
ter and I recently went to a
Broadway show. After we
were seated, a woman, her
young daughter and her
mother sat next to us. The
woman was rather large, but
instead of taking the aisle
seat, she gave that to her
mother and sat next to me.
She was practically sitting
on top of the chair arms due
to her size and was taking up
part of my space. At the end
of the show, she told us we
would need to climb over her
because her knees hurt and
she couldnt move yet. Im
sure her knee problems are
due to her size.
This woman looked to
be in her mid-30s. At this
rate, she might not live long
enough to see her daughter
reach adulthood. Dont you
think she should have taken
the aisle seat? Loved the
Show, Disliked the Seat
Dear Loved: It seems
logical that the person with
the most diffculty moving
would prefer the aisle seat,
but perhaps the womans
mother insisted on
taking it. When
stuck in these situ-
ations, there isnt
much you can do
other than show
tolerance for two
hours.
Dear Annie: I
had to laugh when
I read Frustrated
Cooks letter. I
remember how
my parents battled
with me over eat-
ing broccoli when I was a
kid. I was forced to fnish it,
so I would wash small bites
down with my sweet tea, as
if they were pills.
Im 48 now, and broccoli
is one of my favorite foods.
However, I can no longer
tolerate sweet tea. I think
texture is often the issue, as
it was for me. When I had
kids, I never forced them to
eat what I fxed. I gave them
the option of making them-
selves a peanut butter sand-
wich if they did not want to
eat my meals, but I also did
not prepare a separate dish
for them. Memphis Mama

Although financial conditions
look to be quite
encouraging for you
in the year ahead,
youll still have to be
far more determined
than your competitor
to generate the kind
of returns you want.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- There are strong indications that
personal gain is possible for you,
provided you dont take any foolish
last-minute risks. If you have a
feasible plan, stick with it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Associates who lack your drive and
sense of adventure may be indifferent
to your goals. If this is the case, strike
out on your own.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- If there is something or someone
retarding your progress, take whatever
measure necessary to change the
situation, no matter how difficult.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- For
good or ill, you tend to reflect the
behavior patterns of your companions.
Only if your personality is stronger
than theirs will you be the one calling
the shots.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Onlookers will admire your
confidence and capabilities in
handling tough projects. You wont
have to toot your own horn; theyll
sing your praises for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Although youll have good
management skills in situations that
require a deft touch, you may be
hesitant to use them. Dont be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
This is one of those days when you
wont be able to please everyone. One
person in particular will require lots of
praise, yet you wont be able to give
him or her enough.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If you want to make a good
impression on others, sincerity is a
must. For example, if you employ
false flattery, you could be perceived
as a phony.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- If you take measures to trim
all nonessentials from your budget, it
could improve your financial picture.
Whether it will be enough is another
story.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- You have what it takes to do well
in most competitive situations, but if
youre an ungracious winner, you will
fall flat. Let others sing your praises.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
When making a proposal, you should
limit your presentation only to the
hard facts. Trying to appeal to the
audiences emotions wont work.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A
commercial involvement with a friend
could be on shaky ground. Be careful
not to mismanage affairs; you dont
want to lose a friend.

Todays joke:
A man walked into a doctors office and the recep-
tionist asked him what he had. He replied, I got
shingles.
She said, Fill out this form and supply your name,
address, medical insurance number. When youre
done, please take a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurses aide came out and
asked him what he had. He said, I got shingles.
So she took down his height, weight, and complete
medical history, then said, Change into this gown and
wait in the examining room.
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked him
what he had. He said, I got shingles.
So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test,
an electrocardiogram and told him to wait for the doc-
tor.
An hour later the doctor came in and asked him
what he had. He said, Shingles.
The doctor gave him a full examination, and then
said, I just checked you out thoroughly, and I cant
find shingles anywhere.
The man replied, Theyre outside in the truck.
Where do you want them?
WASHINGTON After a storm of com-
plaints, the Obama administration on Tuesday
unveiled simplified forms to apply for insur-
ance under the presidents new health care
law. You wont have to lay bare your medi-
cal history but you will have to detail your
finances. An earlier version of the forms had
provoked widespread griping that they were
as bad as tax forms and might overwhelm
uninsured people, causing them to give up in
frustration.
The biggest change: a five-page short
form that single people can fill out. That form
includes a cover page with instructions and
another page if you want to designate some-
one to help you through the process.
But the abridged application form for
families starts at 12 pages, and grows as you
add children. Most people are expected to
take another option, applying online.
The ease or difficulty of applying for
benefits takes on added importance because
Americans remain confused about what the
health care law will mean for them. A Kaiser
Family Foundation poll released Tuesday
found that 4 in 10 are unaware its the law
of the land. Some think its been repealed by
Congress. In fact, its still on track.
And its a mandate, not a suggestion.
The law says virtually all Americans must
carry health insurance starting next year,
although most will just keep the coverage
they now have through their jobs, Medicare
or Medicaid.
At his news conference Tuesday, President
Barack Obama hailed the simplified forms
as an example of how his team listened to
criticism from consumer groups and made
a fix. The laws full benefits will be avail-
able to all next year, he emphasized, even if
Republicans in Congress still insist on repeal
and many GOP governors wont help put it
into place.
When the first draft of the application
turned out to be a clunker, immediately,
everybody sat around the table and said,
Well, this is too long, especially in
this age of the Internet, Obama recounted.
People arent going to have the patience to
sit there for hours on end. Lets streamline
this thing.
The flap over the application forms was
a first test of the administrations ability
to confront problems as they emerge, said
Sam Karp, vice president of programs at the
California HealthCare Foundation.
Being nimble enough to identify, then
fix, problems will be critical to success-
fully enroll millions of Americans who will
become newly eligible for coverage, he said.
The applications will start becoming famil-
iar to consumers less than six months from
now, on Oct. 1, when new insurance markets
open for enrollment in every state. Most peo-
ple already signed up in their employers plan
dont need to bother with the forms. Filling
out the application is just the first part of the
process, which lets you know if you qualify
for financial help. The government asks to
see what youre making because Obamas
Affordable Care Act is means-tested, with
lower-income people getting the most gener-
ous help to pay premiums. Consumers who
arent applying for financial help still have to
fill out a five-page form.
Once youre finished with the money part,
actually picking a health plan will require
additional steps, plus a basic understanding of
insurance jargon.
Benefits begin Jan. 1, and nearly 30 mil-
lion uninsured Americans are eventually
expected to get coverage.
While the first drafts of the applications
were widely panned, the new forms were
seen as an improvement. Still, consumers
must provide a snapshot of their finances.
That potentially includes multiple sources
of income, from alimony to tips to regular
paychecks.
On the list: unemployment, pensions,
Social Security, other retirement checks and
farming and fishing income. Individuals will
have to gather tax returns, pay stubs and
other financial records before filling out the
application.
Laying bare your finances to apply for health care
By JULIE PACE
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama signaled
Tuesday he would consider U.S. military action against Syria if
hard, effective evidence is found to bolster intelligence that
chemical weapons have been used in the 2-year-old civil war.
Among the potential options being readied for him: weapons
and ammunition for the Syrian rebels. Despite such planning,
Obama appealed for patience during a White House news
conference, saying he needed more conclusive evidence about
how and when chemical weapons detected by U.S. intelligence
agencies were used and who deployed them. If those questions
can be answered, Obama said he would consider actions the
Pentagon and intelligence community have prepared for him
in the event Syria has crossed his chemical weapons red line.
There are options that are available to me that are on the
shelf right now that we have not deployed, he told reporters
packed into the White House briefing room. Beyond lethal aid
to the rebels, several government agencies are also drafting
plans for establishing a protective no-fly zone over Syria
and for targeted missile strikes, according to officials familiar
with the planning. However, the officials, who spoke only on
condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to
publicly discuss the internal deliberations, stressed that Obama
had not yet decided to proceed on any of the plans. As Obama
raised the prospect of deeper U.S. involvement, Hezbollahs
leader said Tuesday that his Iranian-backed militant group
stood ready to aid Syrian President Bashar Assad. And new
violence in Syria hit the capital of Damascus, as a powerful
bomb ripped through a bustling commercial district, killing
at least 14 people. Mindful that any military intervention in
the combustible Middle East would be complicated and dan-
gerous, Obama hinted the U.S. would probably avoid taking
action unilaterally. Part of the rationale for building a stronger
chemical weapons case against Assad, Obama said, is to avoid
being in a position where we cant mobilize the international
community to support what we do.
Obama has resisted calls to expand U.S. assistance beyond
the nonlethal aid the government is providing the rebels. That
has frustrated some allies as well as some U.S. lawmakers,
who say the deaths of 70,000 Syrians should warrant a more
robust American response.
Obama hints at
potential military
action in Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) This year
got off to a sour start for U.S. workers:
Their pay, already gasping to keep pace
with inflation, was suddenly shrunk by a
Social Security tax increase.
Which raised a worrisome question:
Would consumers stop spending and
further slow the economy? Nope. Not
yet, anyway.
On Friday, the government said con-
sumers spent 3.2 percent more on an
annual basis in the January-March quar-
ter than in the previous quarter the
biggest jump in two years. And in a
report Monday, the government said
consumers increased their spending in
each month, by 0.2 percent in March,
0.7 percent in February and 0.3 percent
in January.
The spending increases highlighted
a broader improvement in Americans
financial health that is blunting the
impact of the tax increase and raising
hopes for more sustainable growth.
Consumers have shed debt. Gasoline
has gotten cheaper. Rising home values
and record stock prices have restored
household wealth to its pre-recession
high. And employers are steadily adding
jobs, which means more people have
money to spend.
No one should write off the consum-
er simply because of the 2 percentage-
point increase in payroll taxes, says
Bernard Baumohl, chief economist at
the Economic Outlook Group. Overall
household finances are in the best shape
in more than five years.
Spending weakened toward the end
of the January-March quarter. Spending
at retailers fell in March by 0.4 percent,
the worst showing in nine months. And
more spending on utilities accounted for
up to one-fourth of the increase in con-
sumer spending in the January-March
quarter, according to JPMorgan Chase
economist Michael Feroli, because of
colder weather.
Higher spending on utilities isnt a
barometer of consumer confidence the
way spending on household goods, such
as new appliances or furniture, would
be.
Americans also saved less in the first
quarter, lowering the savings rate to
2.6 percent from 3.9 percent in 2012.
Economists say that was likely a tem-
porary response to the higher Social
Security tax, and most expect the sav-
ings rate to rise back toward last years
level. That could limit spending.
But several longer-term trends are
likely to push in the other direction,
economists say, and help sustain con-
sumer spending. Among those trends:
WEALTH IS UP
Home prices rose more than 10
percent in the 12 months that ended
in February. And both the Dow Jones
industrial average and Standard &
Poors 500 stock indexes reached record
highs in the first quarter. As a result,
Americans have recovered the $16 tril-
lion in wealth that was wiped out by the
Great Recession. Economists estimate
that each dollar of additional wealth
adds roughly 3 cents to spending. That
means last years $5.5 trillion run-up in
wealth could spur about $165 billion in
additional consumer spending this year.
Thats much more than the $120 billion
cost of the higher Social Security taxes.
The resilience in spending, despite
increased taxes, suggests that rising
household wealth is providing an off-
set to higher taxes and spending cuts,
says James Marple, an economist at TD
Bank.
DEBT IS DOWN
Household debt now equals 102 per-
cent of after-tax income, down from
a peak of 126 percent in 2007. Thats
almost back to its long-term trend,
according to economists at Deutsche
Bank. And households are paying less
interest on their debts, largely because
of the Federal Reserves efforts to keep
borrowing rates at record lows. The
percentage of after-tax income that
Americans spent on interest and debt
payments dropped to 10.4 percent in
the October-December quarter last year.
Thats the lowest such figure in the
32 years that the Federal Reserve has
tracked the data.
JOBS ARE UP
Employers have added an average
of 188,000 jobs a month in the past six
months, up from 130,000 in the previous
six. Job gains slowed in March to only
88,000. But most economists expect
at least a modest rebound in coming
months. And layoffs sank to a record
low in January.
US consumers keep spending
despite higher taxes
After the presentation, resi-
dents took part in an open
forum where commit-
tee members, Brady, Greg
Berquist, Lou Hohman and
Steve Dorsten fielded ques-
tions ranging from funding
the project to large item lit-
tering.
Dennis Pathoff asked
about funding the plan.
How do we fix the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) prob-
lem for the canal program?
Pathoff added. How do we
gain priority?
Dorsten fielded this ques-
tion.
The county park systems
will be in charge since the
funding is shifting, Dorsten
said. We will have better
control.
Dorsten elaborated on the
effect of the plans first goal,
which is to stabilize the banks
of the canal.
We can accomplish a lot
on a local level, he said. We
get that done and youll have
what you want.
Bob Ulm spoke on canal
littering, a topic that had not
been addressed in previous
meetings. Ulm believes that
serious steps need to be taken
in reinforcement of large item
littering. In keeping with goal
6 Promoting Appreciation
for the Canalmonitoring
the canal, increasing fines
and punishing offenders to
the greatest extent of the law
would make an impact.
Hohman explained that
citizens have been throw-
ing grass and weeds into the
canal. In addition, there were
Christmas trees pulled from
the canal this past year.
So where do we go from
here? Brady asked.
Safety Director Greg
Berquist gave a brief syn-
opsis of the past conver-
sations and future goals.
Berquist said that for many
years they have been look-
ing at projects to connect
Spencerville to Delphos. In
the next few years, with the
help of the Ohio Department
of Transportation (ODOT),
the city will have a walking
path through Delphos, con-
necting Waterworks Park to
Stadium Park. In addition,
the commission would like to
leverage paths to the schools.
With the exception
of Jefferson High School,
each school is 3 or 4 blocks
from the towpath, Berquist
detailed.
At the end of the meeting,
committee members agreed
the first goal of the strategic
plan is to create a voice by
educating and informing the
constituents who will be pro-
active in the cause.
Hohman said that the first
step is to design a flyer or
brochure explaining the plan,
showing comparison photos
of a south portion of the canal
with a revitalized north sec-
tion of the canal and listing
state and local contact infor-
mation. The flyer or brochure
will serve as a vehicle to gain
the interest of the community
and empower the residents
with the resources to be pro-
active and contact representa-
tives with concerns regarding
the Strategic Plan for the
canal.
The projects beautify areas of Delphos
so people who live here can appreci-
ate them, Roach said. The members
also bring in guest speakers who share
personal insights and perspectives on
informative topics. In the past, John
Nomina spoke on how farmers conserve
land. Experts from the county extension
office and local people share all kinds of
information, like techniques to improve
gardens, the kinds of plants their imple-
menting into their gardens and how to
deal with environmental issues.
Last year the club was in charge
of the Flower and Garden Show at
the Allen County Fair, which is a lot
of work and must be pre-planned and
approved by the Fair Board. During
the show, a panel of judges evaluate
samples of flowers and arrangements.
The grand prize winner last year was
Louis Shroufe, who submitted a large
Hydrangea flower. She (Shroufe) kept
and dried the flower. We used it as the
topper on our Christmas Tree display
at the Canal Museum this past year,
Roach said.
Secretary Treasurer Karen Hartman
elaborated on the reservoir sign planting
and the clubs Christmas tree display at
the museum. We planted tulips and daf-
fodil bulbs, daylilys and low-growing
evergreens, Hartman added. On the
tree display, we use all natural, dried
flowers.
The next meeting will be held from
1-3 p.m. May 20 in the 1st addition at
the library. Dessert and beverages will
be served. After the meeting, mem-
bers will carpool together for a short
jaunt out of town to tour an extensive
residential rose garden. On June 17, the
club will hold their meeting from 1-3
p.m. and then travel to Van Wert to tour
Louise Hartwigs gardens.
For additional informational, please
contact Judy Jester at 419-692-2913,
Laura Roach at 419-692-8351 or Karen
Hartman at 419-692-6407.
Funds for the project will come from a recent AEP grant the
city received from another energy-savings project.
We received $66,000 from AEP in February and we can
roll that into this one and perhaps get another rebate from this
for a future project, Berquist said. I think any savings we can
see from this will be worth it.
The third item on the agenda was street lighting.
We have just over 600 streets lights in Delphos and just by
driving around at night, you can see how many are in alley-
ways and backyards and parking lots and the city does not need
to pay for those. They are not required. , Berquist said. We
asked the police department to look at the lighting and they
came back with 84 lamps they feel can be removed without
reducing safety.
Berquist said the city pays a variety of amounts for street
lamps but the average cost is $7 per month per light.
In October 2010, The Vanilla
Ice Project first aired on DIY
Network and has become the
top-rated show on the net-
work. The fourth season of
the popular home-improve-
ment show is set to air this
fall.
Now, a spinoff of this
series, Vanilla Ice Goes
Amish, has brought the celeb-
rity into the Amish country of
Ohio to immerse himself in
their world and learn their
ways of construction.
Three weeks into filming,
Vanilla Ice has accompanied
his new Amish family for the
construction of a home out-
side of the Wren area.
Its a beautiful day, said
Vanilla Ice. Its great. The
weather is perfect right now;
I am marinating. Im really
enjoying it and we are film-
ing a great show here.
The reality star admitted
that once he becomes curious
about an idea, it overwhelms
his brain and thinks about it
all the time. He is eager to
work with the Amish, who
pride themselves on con-
struction and craftsmanship,
in order to learn their ways of
construction and teach them
his own.
We are going to gel and
make a really cool show,
remarked Vanilla Ice. It is
going to be fun as well as
an adventure because I know
nothing about them. I have
so many questions. I want
to know how and why, but
I dont want to overwhelm
them, either.
Vanilla Ice Goes Amish
is set to air in January 2014,
and the episode filmed within
Van Wert County is currently
set to kick off the season as
episode one.
Im going to give the
Amish a different design
style, noted the rapper-
turned-handyman. The show
will include two completely
opposite worlds meeting and
coming together to share a
similar interest in construc-
tion.
