DELPHOS With ve
weeks under his belt as the
new Delphos Safety Service
Director, Shane Coleman has
prioritized his focus on city
matters.
I think were all looking at
the budget and what it means
for city operations, Coleman
said Thursday. We are work-
ing with a limited staff and
limited hours. Not only are the
employees feeling it I know
the citizens are to starting to
see the effects. We need to get
our employees back to full-
time hours. They continue to
sacrice and continue to do a
great job.
The bottom line for 2014
and beyond are a little trou-
bling.
How do we get to a better
state? Coleman asked. We
have to get back to acceptable
levels. We are not even meet-
ing the minimum standards
we set for ourselves.
Coleman also feels every-
ones frustration and impa-
tience with the situation at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Failing membranes and sub-
standard function of equip-
ment has hampered the plants
efciency.

Latta introduces bill to restrict FCC
dhi MEDIA STAFF REPORT
info@timesbulletin.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. Ohio 5th
District Congressman Bob Latta says
he is out to stop the Federal Communi-
cations Commission (FCC) from writ-
ing new regulations to control Internet
service. On Wednesday, Latta intro-
duced a bill in the U.S. House of Repre-
sentatives to limit the FCCs authority
to regulate broadband Internet service.
The bill was introduced after the FCC
released a proposal to reclassify broad-
band as a telecommunications service
instead as an information service.
In light of the FCC initiating yet
another attempt to regulate the Inter-
net, upending long-standing precedent
and imposing monopoly-era telephone
rules and obligations on the 21st Cen-
tury broadband marketplace, Con-
gress must take action to put an end to
this misguided regulatory proposal,
said Latta. The Internet has remained
open and continues to be a powerful
engine fueling private enterprise, eco-
nomic growth and innovation absent
government interference and obstruc-
tion. My legislation will provide all
participants in the Internet ecosystem
the certainty they need to continue
investing in broadband networks and
services that have been fundamental
for job creation, productivity and con-
sumer choice.

DELPHOS Addison Eickholt acts like a normal 3-year-
old. She plays with her toys, wants to play outside in the sun,
doesnt really want to start preschool next year and loves fruit
snacks.
The only difference between Addison and any other toddler
is a scar and why she has it. The scar is the result of a surgery
to remove a cancerous tumor.
Last year in April, when Addison was 2 years-old, her mom,
Angela Eickholt, found the lump.
I was scratching her belly and when she turned over I found
it on her back, so it was a uke, Eickholt said.
Eickholt describes Addison as a tomboy and thought she
may have fallen or bumped into something as a result of her
rambunctious behavior. After the lump did not disappear or
change the next couple of days, Eickholt knew Addison needed
to go to the doctor.
The doctor brought in another doctor and then sent Addison
to immediately have blood work done.
We got a phone call at 7:00 that night, which we knew
wasnt a good thing, Eickholt said.
Addison had Wilms Tumor, a kidney cancer that primarily
affects children.
In May 2013, she had surgery to remove it, which was fol-
lowed by weekly chemotherapy treatments through October.

afternoon. Addison, 3, was just 2 years-old when
her mother found a cancerous lump on her back.

ST. LOUIS (AP) The
growing suspicions surround-
ing where states obtain lethal
injections have motivated the
Missouri attorney general to
propose something never pre-
viously tried establishing a
lab where the state can make
its own execution drugs.
The idea, if widely adopted,
could remove shadowy com-
pounding pharmacies from
the nations execution system
and offer a reliable supply of
the deadly chemicals that have
become hard for prisons to ob-
tain. State legislative leaders
said Friday that the proposal
deserves consideration.
Chris Koster rst sug-
gested a state-run drug lab
Thursday in a speech to the
Bar Association of Metro-
politan St. Louis, calling it a
better alternative than rely-
ing on an uneasy coopera-
tion with medical profes-
sionals and pharmaceutical
companies.
Koster said the process of
obtaining execution drugs has
become so problematic that
death penalty states are weigh-
ing extreme alternatives, so a
new idea was needed.
I think that this is a bet-
ter step than what were see-
ing occur in Tennessee, where
they went to the electric chair,
what we are seeing occurring
in Wyoming, where they are
debating the return of the r-
ing squad, Koster, a Demo-
crat, said Friday in a phone in-
terview with The Associated
Press.
Before Missouri under-
takes the same discussion, he
said, it would be prudent to
thoroughly investigate strate-
gies to get the lethal-injection
process stabilized again.
Lethal injection has been in
use in the U.S. for more than
three decades. But in recent
years, states have been forced
to scramble for new sources of
drugs after several drugmak-
ers, including many based in
Europe, refused to sell them
for use in executions.

make lethal injections

ST. LOUIS (AP) The
growing suspicions surround-
ing where states obtain lethal
injections have motivated the
Missouri attorney general to
propose something never pre-
viously tried establishing a
lab where the state can make
its own execution drugs.
The idea, if widely adopted,
could remove shadowy com-
pounding pharmacies from
the nations execution system
and offer a reliable supply of
the deadly chemicals that have
become hard for prisons to ob-
tain. State legislative leaders
said Friday that the proposal
deserves consideration.
Chris Koster rst sug-
gested a state-run drug lab
Thursday in a speech to the
Bar Association of Metro-
politan St. Louis, calling it a
better alternative than rely-
ing on an uneasy coopera-
tion with medical profes-
sionals and pharmaceutical
companies.
Koster said the process of
obtaining execution drugs has
become so problematic that
death penalty states are weigh-
ing extreme alternatives, so a
new idea was needed.
I think that this is a bet-
ter step than what were see-
ing occur in Tennessee, where
they went to the electric chair,
what we are seeing occurring
in Wyoming, where they are
debating the return of the r-
ing squad, Koster, a Demo-
crat, said Friday in a phone in-
terview with The Associated
Press.
Before Missouri under-
takes the same discussion, he
said, it would be prudent to
thoroughly investigate strate-
gies to get the lethal-injection
process stabilized again.
Lethal injection has been in
use in the U.S. for more than
three decades. But in recent
years, states have been forced
to scramble for new sources of
drugs after several drugmak-
ers, including many based in
Europe, refused to sell them
for use in executions.
Missouri AG: State could
make lethal injections

ASA calls for extension of comment period
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
ST. LOUIS, Missouri In a
letter to the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers this
week, the American Soybean As-
sociation (ASA) joined more than
70 other food and agriculture
stakeholder groups in requesting
more time to comment on EPAs
proposed interpretive rule on Wa-
ters of the United States.
This rule has the potential
to impact a large majority of the
things we do as farmers each
day within our operations, said
ASA President and Iowa farmer
Ray Gaesser. These comments
arent something we can rush
through. We have to look at the
many different ways the rule
could affect the way we oper-
ate, and integrate those into our
comments. To do that, we need
a little more time.
Citing the complexity of
EPAs draft rule, the groups
maintain that comprehensive
comments that represent the
best interests of soybean farmers
and other publics involved will
require deep and substantial
review of lengthy and complex
documents and careful con-
sideration and thought into the
potentially signicant changes
to the historical relationship en-
joyed between the agricultural
community and the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
The groups also pointed to
the need for farmers to discern
what the rule would mean for
them on the ground level. The
key step in all this is the middle
one: farmers and ranchers work-
ing out in the eld and on their
farms to determine what these
proposed policies mean, wrote
the groups. Unfortunately, the
timing of this proposed rule
and the 90-day comment period
coincides exactly with the abso-
lutely busiest period in the farm
calendar. Our farmer members
during this period are prepar-
ing soil for planting, planting
and replanting seed, applying
crop nutrients and crop protec-
tion products, and harvesting
hay and winter wheat crops. All
of this work is taking place this
spring and early summer, and
that necessarily limits their abil-
ity to review and understand the
proposal and the Interpretative
Rule and how they may apply
to them on their farms, and then
provide meaningful comments.

Do you know anything
about bloodhound mixes?
We LOVE to smell. I like to
smell SO much that some-
times I get carried away
and forget to pay attention
to where I am going. I am a
very well behaved girl but
I cannot stand other dogs
and cats. I would do best
if I had a fenced in area,
but if not, you need to be
extremely responsible and
keep a close eye on me.
The rst thing most peo-
ple notice about Tick is his
big, puffy cheeks. Make no
mistake, this is one manly
cat. Tick is a orange tiger
who was found as a stray.
Hes a robust cat who may

Junior SPLASH is for ages
3-5 and only has spots re-
maining from 12:30-1 p.m.
A recent American Red
Cross survey states 39 percent
of parents of children ages
4-17 report that their child
can perform all ve of these
basic water safety skills:
1. Floating or treading wa-
ter for one minute without a
otation device;
2. Stepping or jumping
into water over your head and
returning to the surface;
3. Treading water or oat-
ing in a full circle and then
nding a way out of the wa-
ter;
4. Exiting a pool without
using a ladder;
5. Swimming 25 yards (the
length of a standard pool)
without stopping.
It is essential to being able
to help yourself in a pool or
open-water emergency. While
92 percent say their child is
likely to participate in water
activities this summer, only
20 percent of parents expect
their child will take swim-
ming lessons this summer.
A CDC report released
last week noted about 21,000
children and young adults
drowned from 1999 through
2010, and drowning is respon-
sible for more deaths among
children aged 1-4 years than
any other cause except birth
defects. For people aged 29
and younger, drowning is one
of the top three causes of un-
intentional injury death.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A dhi MEDIA publication Saturday, May 31 & Sunday, June 1, 2014 A5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
dhi MEDIA Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
Dejected, tired and hungry, for-
mer American soldiers battled with
police to get the benets they say
they were promised. The year was
1932 and the country was deep in the
throes of the Great Depression. More
than 23 percent of the country was
out of work and many people were
struggling just to feed themselves.
After a long and protracted ght,
the World War Adjusted Compen-
sation Act of 1924 had promised
bonuses to veterans returning from
service in World War I in the form
of certicates. The issuance of war-
time military bonuses had begun in
the U.S. as far back as the Revolu-
tionary War when volunteers were
given a payment equal to the differ-
ence between Continental Army pay
and what the men would have earned
if they had not signed up to ght. The
practice was only sporadically fol-
lowed, however, with veterans of the
Spanish-American War not receiv-
ing any bonuses, for example.
The end of World War I brought
a larger public outcry, however. Af-
ter veterans were only given $60 in
payment upon their discharge, an
organized movement began to right
the grievance. The American Legion
organization was created in 1919
and one of their earliest battles was
to secure better pay for war service.
By May of 1924, Congress had ap-
proved the World War Adjusted
Compensation Act but President Cal-
vin Coolidge vetoed the bill saying,
patriotism bought and paid for is
not patriotism. Congress overrode
his veto ve days later.
Under the Act every qualied vet-
eran received a certicate with a val-
ue based upon his promised pay ($1
per day served domestic up to $500
or $1.25 per day for overseas duty
up to $625) plus compounded inter-
est. The problem was the certicates
could not be redeemed until 1945.
While plenty of grumbles re-
mained about the waiting period,
the cries of outrage eventually died
down. But then the Great Depression
left many of those same veterans
jobless and they could not eat certi-
cates. The men decided their voices
needed to be heard.
Beginning in early 1932, veterans
and their families began marching
toward Washington D.C. A group of
roughly 1,000 arrived in the capital
on May 29, the day before the tra-
ditional Memorial Day celebration.
They made camp in a Hooverville
located on the Anacostia Flats, a
boggy area across from downtown
Washington D.C. With ragtag hovels
built from scrapped materials, they
could be seen as government of-
cials went to work every day, a re-
minder of their duty. More veterans
arrived daily until estimates of the
crowd reached more than 43,000.
The area around the protest re-
mained calm until June 15 when the
Senate defeated a new Bonus Bill by
a wide margin. The gatherings still
remained peaceful but became more
vocal while the Bonus Expeditionary
Force (named to relate to the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force of World
War I) waited for President Hoover
to act.
On July 28, the Hoover admin-
istration made its move. Attorney
General William Mitchell ordered
the police to remove the veter-
ans from the camp. When the men
rushed back in, two policemen were
cornered, frightening them to the
point they drew their revolvers and
red on the crowd of veterans, kill-
ing two. When Hoover learned of in-
cident, he ordered in Army troops to
remove the protesters.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur and the
12th Infantry Regiment, with sup-
port by six tanks under the command
of Maj. George S. Patton, marched
down Pennsylvania Avenue toward
the encampment. Government ofce
workers lined the street and watched
as the veterans, incorrectly believing
the soldiers were coming in a sign of
solidarity, cheered. That ended when
Patton gave the order to charge with
xed bayonets and tear gas while
the onlookers booed and yelled. The
Army troops then burned the pro-
testers camp to the ground, destroy-
ing everything that many of them
owned.
The public outcry against the
governments actions was so great,
Congress passed a new bonus act
in 1936, authorizing the immediate
payout of certicate funds.
Here now is the May 27, 1932,
Van Wert Daily Bulletin article de-
tailing the movement of the Bonus
Army through Ohio on its way to
Washington D.C.
Bonus Army beaten back by police and armed troops
Lawrenceburg, Ind. May 27
(INS) - A caravan of Ohio high-
way trucks was assembled here this
morning to transport the arm of bo-
nus crusaders, comprised of about
400 World War veterans from the
West, to the West Virginia border.
The marchers, who are en route
to Washington to enter a plea for
the bonus, were expected to enter
Ohio near Cleves between 10:00
a.m. and noon to-day. They will be
carried across the state to Wheel-
ing where they will be transferred
to West Virginia highway trucks
and carried to Pennsylvania.
The itinerary of the crusaders in
Ohio was planned over the follow-
ing route: Through Wilmington,
Washington C.H., Circleville and
Lancaster by way of U.S. Route 22,
connecting at Zanesville with U.S.
route 40 and continuing on it through
Cambridge and St. Clairsville to
Bridgeport, opposite Wheeling.
According to present plans, the
crusaders will spend the night in ei-
ther Lancaster or Zanesville. They
will probably breakfast this morn-
ing as guests of Cincinnati.
The Ohio highway truck caravan
mobilized to transport the crusad-
ers across the Buckeye State was
under command of Col. Earl Fuhr
of the National Guard, and W. J.
Ryan of the Highway Department.
Aurora, Ind., May 27 (INS)
- Thirty-ve fast Ohio highway
trucks with Colonel E.W. Fuhr, of
the Ohio National Guard in charge,
met the bonus army caravan at
Aurora, twelve miles from the In-
diana, Ohio state border, at 11:50
a.m. to-day.
The weary veterans cheered
lustily when they saw the Ohio
trucks come rolling along. A short
rest period was taken here, then
the army transferred to the Ohio
trucks and continued it On-to-
Washington trek.
Trucks Ready To Aid The Caravan
JUST BETWEEN US,
Van Wert residents who slept
peacefully through the early
morning hours on Friday,
missed one of the most excit-
ing impromptu rodeos ever
staged in this city.
Starred in this wild and
woolly western drama were
Sgt. Ray Hopalong Zanor
and Ofcer Harold Gabby
Hayes Grandstaff, members
of the local constabulary, the
Director was Humane Of-
cer Arthur Cecil DeMille
Osborne, while the sports an-
nouncer , who gave a running
play-by-play description of the
running battle over the police
radio to headquarters, was
Wilfred Ted Husing Conley.
The real actors were 18
playful bulls, being trans-
ported through the city by the
Nelson Trucking Company
of Burkettsville, Ind. As the
load came into town, two of
the bulls got down in the truck
and were being trampled by
the other 16. The driver ap-
pealed to police headquarters
for help at 12:25 A.M. Friday
Police Clerk Clyde Eck
called Sgt. Zanor and Pa-
trolman Grandstaff to help
straighten out the tangle.
Thats when the fun began.
Neither Hoppy Zanor nor
Gabby Grandstaff claims to
be a bull-wrangler, but true to
the tradition of the force,they
will take anything once. They
got the 16 standing bulls and
the two sitting bulls out of
the truck, but over an hour
later, at 1:38 A.M., they called
Humane Ofcer Osborne
to come out to the Kennett-
Murray stock yards on North
Lynn Street to help them get
the pesky critters back in the
truck. The bulls did not want
to cooperate. They went this-
a-way and they went that-a-
way but not up the runway
into the truck.
With Radio Operator Con-
ley adlibbing a running ac-
count of the festivities from
the safety of the police prowl
car, it took Zanor, Grandstaff,
Osborne and the truck driver
two hours to stage the round-
up and get the rambling beef
steaks back on the wagon, and
start the truck on its way out
of town.
Our overworked Van Wert
gendarmes have gone on
a lamb diet. They want want
nothing to do with beef again!
When last heard from,
Fire Chief Conn was trying
to sign the act as a feature of
tomorrows horse show at the
Fairgrounds, but the police
ofcers have declined with
thanks. They say thats a lot-
ta bull.

25 Years Ago
This week in 1989, more than a thousand
students and workers held a rally outside of
the Beijing police headquarters to protest the
arrest of the leaders of an independent labor
union. The gathering was in addition to the
thousands of people still protesting in nearby
Tiananmen Square. The three-week-old pro-
test called for more freedoms and an end to
political corruption in the Communist regime.
President Bush echoed former-President
Ronald Reagan with a call for the Berlin Wall
to be torn down to allow a united Germany.
While in West Germany, Bushs speech called
for a whole and free Europe and an end to the
Cold War. Bush had plans to also tour Poland
and Hungary in July.
No one in Van Wert County was sure if a
proposed tax hike was still going to go into ef-
fect on July 1 or not. The commissioners had
planned for the increase from $2 per thousand
to $3 on all property transfers in order to bal-
ance the county budget. However, receipts for
the rst ve months of the year were greater
than expected and the commissioners were
considering not instituting the tax increase. The
Van Wert County Board of Realtors opposed
the raise, stating the change targeted a select
group of people and had not been voted upon.
Winners of awards at the annual scholar-
ship banquet at Jefferson Senior High School
included Michael Ahten, top student in college
preparatory, freshman; Glen Renner, tied as
top student in college preparatory, sophomore;
Kathy Grothaus, top vocational student, ju-
nior; Christine Brinkman, top vocational stu-
dent, sophomore; Jodi Best, top student college
preparatory, junior; Nikki Siefker, tied for top
student in college preparatory, sophomore; and
Scott Scalf, top student vocational, freshman.
50 Years Ago
This week in 1964, U.S. ofcials were con-
sidering the possibility of an increased role by
the United Nations in war-ravaged southeast
Asia. A report was being created for President
Johnson with recommendations for the course
of U.S. armed forces actions in the region. Al-
though the Communist offensive in Laos had
slowed, ghting in South Vietnam had contin-
ued.
Signalling an impressive start to the
$20-billion Apollo program, an unmanned
model of the Apollo moon ship was launched
into space on the back of a Saturn 1 rocket.
This was the sixth straight successful ight of
the Saturn 1. Plans called for three-man crews
to be launched into space within two years in
an effort to answer former-President John F.
Kennedys call to reach the moon by the end
of 1969.
According to Van Wert City Fire Chief
Robert Cryer, the new emergency telephone
number was now in effect. In the event of res,
residents were now to dial 144 instead of the
previous 233-0001. Cryer said the new number
was shorter and easier to remember. He also
stated 144 would be instituted nationwide as
an emergency number.
Our Pledge Service was the topic for the
meeting of the Womens Society of Christian
Service of the Rushmore Methodist Church
held Wednesday in the home of Mrs. Eugene
Young. Mrs. Elmer Stemen presented the
topic. Mrs. Eldon Barnes was welcomed into
the society as a new member by the president,
Mrs. Clifford Funk.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1939, ofcials from the French
and British armed forces were hammering out
an agreement of mutual cooperation for se-
curity front commitments. As Germany and
her allies continued to show more aggression,
it was also expected that Russia would also
be asked to join in the pact. According to the
British government, this was the rst step to
putting teeth into former non-aggression pacts
between the countries.
An investigator for the East Ohio Gas Com-
pany conrmed the horric explosion and re
at a Barberton, Ohio, elementary school was
caused by a gas leak. The disaster, which com-
pletely destroyed the building, injured 55 rst
and second graders along with four teachers.

WEEKEND EDITION
To the editor,
I have been a chemist for more than 25
years. I have done research at a university
and worked for a government agency. I
currently teach at two universities and
own my own consulting business. My
area of interest is the education of young
people in science, especially chemistry
and physical science.
The days of learning science well
by watching a lecture are over. Science
teachers know that all students, from
pre-school to adult learners, need to ac-
tually dig in and practice what we teach.
Repeating back facts and gures is not
learning. The world is increasingly in-
terdisciplinary. It is not enough to learn
math, science, history and English as
separate entities, rather it is important
to have the skills to apply all of these in
real life situations. The ability to work
with others, communicate effectively and
think critically are skills that all students
need to succeed in life.
I recently spent time at Van Wert High
School and observed some of the science-
based projects, which incorporate many
of these important skills. To say Im im-
pressed is an understatement. In one of
the classes, I thought the students were
seniors. I was surprised to nd out that
they were sophomores. They were more
interested in learning and seemed more
mature than some of my college sopho-
mores!
LETTERS/A10
Schools are just wrapping
up what must seem like the
longest school year of all time.
The lockers are being cleared
out, papers and that nal re-
port card is being sent home,
and yearbooks are being au-
tographed and examined at
many schools.
At one school in Utah
though, the yearbook is being
scrutinized and there are quite
a few upset students. You see,
the yearbook pictures from
Wasatch High School have
been photoshopped to meet
standard for appropriate at-
tire, according to the school.
According to the students,
many yearbook pictures have
been changed to make them
look ridiculous.
Wasatch High School has
a dress code which apparently
is not enforced too strictly, but
on the day that pictures were
taken, signs were supposedly
posted warning students that
their images may be altered
when the books are published.
Some of them were. It really
looks a little silly. Its not that
the students (all females) were
scantily-clad. There may have
been bare arms showing, a
neckline may have been lower
than an average t-shirt, but the
girls werent exactly pushing
the envelope. But someone in
charge of the yearbook had
some of the bare arms covered
with photoshopped sleeves,
some of the necks were col-
ored to make it appear that the
girls were probably wishing
the air conditioning could be
turned down.
The main complaint of
some people is that the head
photoshopper didnt cover all
the bare arms. Some of the
pictures were photoshopped
and some werent, and no one
seems to know why the sup-
posed dress code wasnt ap-
plied equally. I dont know,
but from the pictures (before
and after) I saw from this high
school, the whole thing seems
silly. If a rule of having no
bare arms or no bare necks is
on the books, why not apply it
every day, not just on picture
day? And why not a rule for
live people, not just their pic-
ture? Then the so-called of-
fending students could have
been corrected that day in-
stead of being the victim of a
surprise photoshop attack.
Personally, I wish I could
have received some photoshop
help when my school pictures
were taken back in the day.
Maybe someone could have
erased the patch of pimples
on the side of my face. Maybe
they could have made me look
like I was working out. Per-
haps the Im With Stupid
on my t-shirt could have been
covered. Perhaps the hair I
sported in school could have
been fashioned into some-
thing more than a shaggy
mess. That would have saved
me a lot of teasing.
Of course we students didnt
like to be told what to wear. Not
by teachers, and not by parents.
I didnt enjoy walking the halls
in my husky-sized Toughskins
jeans with knees as thick as a
winter parka. I didnt like not
being able to wear shorts to
school when the temperature
outside was close to 100, and
there was no air-conditioning in
the school building. But I dealt
with it, just like my classmates
did. The girls didnt beg to wear
thin tank tops and short shorts.
We all played by the rules.

Rules. A good idea?
The end of another school year is
upon us. Classes have been taking eld
trips and enjoying the spoils of a year of
hard work. Then, there are nals. Time to
prove you were paying attention.
Anxious seniors are ready to don their
caps and gowns and make that last walk
before the next phase of their lives be-
gin. I dont know about anyone else but I
took a quick peek at my diploma to make
sure it was signed. I wasnt worried, I just
wanted to make sure.
For those who loved high school,
it may be bittersweet. Theyve thrown
themselves into activities and athletics
and made the most of the time they spent
there. Friends will be going different di-
rections.
For those who would prefer to stay
because theyre not sure about their next
step, hitch up those britches. Its time to
move on. Everything has an order and
youre only supposed to do high school
for four years. Then you have to do some-
thing else. Sorry.
For those who found high school a
little less than they thought it should be,
trust me, there is life after. Its just some-
thing we all have to do so we can transi-
tion to the next level, whatever that may
be. I think youll nd there is a lot more
ahead of you than youve left behind.
Life is contradictory. We think we
know everything about everything and
in reality, we know jack. Thats why you
need to pay attention in high school. Get
all the ammunition you can to face the
world when its over no matter what path
you choose.
Now its time for real life. Im sorry
to inform you that high school was the
easy part. You are about to nd out that
what dened you as a high school student
doesnt mean a thing out here in the real
world.
Here is an excerpt from the book
Dumbing Down our Kids by educator
Charles Sykes. I nd it enlightening.
Rule 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.
Rule 2
The world wont care about your self-
esteem. The world will expect you to ac-
complish something before you feel good
about yourself.
Rule 3
You will not make $40,000 a year
right out of high school. You wont be a
vice president with car phone until you
earn both.
Rule 4
If you
think your
teacher is
tough, wait
till you
get a boss.
He doesnt
have tenure.
Rule 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your
dignity. Your grandparents had a dif-
ferent word for burger-ipping they
called it opportunity.
Rule 6
If you mess up, its not your parents
fault so dont whine about your mistakes,
learn from them.
Rule 7
Before you were born, your parents
werent as boring as they are now. They
got that way from paying your bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you
talk about how cool you are. So before
you save the rain forest from the parasites
of your parents generation, try delousing
the closet in your own room.

Resident praises

After three weeks of almost daily discoveries of new prob-
lems within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Secre-
tary Eric Shinseki handed his resignation to President Obama
on Friday. This followed a morning where Shinseki red most
of the senior management at the VA facility in Phoenix where
the troubles rst bubbled to the surface.
The whole ordeal began with what seemed a preposterous
accusation: that more than 40 veterans had died at the Phoenix
VA facility while waiting for treatment. These ex-servicemen
and women had allegedly been placed on a secret waiting list
in order to make the facilities health care record appear to be
better than it was in actuality. Even more horrifying, the motive
appeared to be money as one of the components of the VAs
payroll bonus program was based upon wait times for care. Bo-
nuses that totalled in the millions.
Immediate denials were issued and some in Washington
tried to label the ensuing investigation a political witch hunt.
But then media reports surfaced that other veterans had died
under the same circumstances while at different VA facilities
around the country.
The VA Ofce of the Inspector General became involved
and they reported earlier this week that in Phoenix alone, 1,400
veterans were found on a primary care appointment list. How-
ever, an additional 1,700 should have also been included and
were left off. VA records reported wait times for an initial doc-
tor visit averaged only 24 days but the IGs ofce found the wait
time was actually 115 days - not for treatment, not for diagnosis
- just to see a doctor.
The same day some VA supporters tried to say the issue
was really about funding. The VA needed more to be able to
perform their services properly. While this was perhaps true
as recently as ten years ago, the VA has received so much ad-
ditional money in the past few years they have not been able to
spend it all. For the fth year in a row, the VA will not use all
of its money allocated for veterans medical care. These are the
recent carryover amounts:
- FY 2010 - $1.449 billion
- FY 2011 - $1.163 billion
- FY 2012 - $637 million
- FY 2013 - $543 million
- FY 2014 - $450 million (est.)
With pressure mounting from both sides of the political
aisle for action, Shinseki reportedly gave his resignation to
President Obama during a Friday meeting at the White House
while updating on an internal investigation into the allegations.
But as bad as the scandal has already become, Shinseki gave
a warning it may be worse before it gets better. He said, (The
problem) is systematic. I will not defend it because it is indefen-
sible. He also cited a totally unacceptable lack of integrity
at numerous VA facilities, a lack of integrity he has rarely
encountered.
Those are ominous statements.
And they might also tell about the depth of the problem.
Before becoming the Veteran Affairs Secretary, Shinseki had a
long military career in which he served, by all accounts, honor-
ably and well. If this type of person was not able to ferret out
the problems and stop the criminal graft within the system,
then maybe it cannot be halted. If that is the case, then perhaps
the American people should demand we not try to save a bro-
ken system.
We call on Congress and the President to research a new VA
medical system, one that would allow veterans to use vouchers
to see local physicians. Along with the wait time factor, that
change alone would solve another of the biggest issues with VA
health care: the need to sometimes drive to VA facilities hours
away to see a doctor.
It has become painfully - deadly - obvious the government
cannot run the VA health system in an efcient manner. It is
time to try something new.

BY DR. TERRY OTOOLE
Chair, Insurance
Subcommittee
Ohio Gastroenterology
Society
Gastroenterologists are
physicians who specialize in
the diagnosis and treatment of
diseases affecting the diges-
tive system. We treat patients
with life-threatening illnesses,
including colorectal cancer,
which is the third leading cause
of cancer and cancer related
deaths in the United States.
The risk of developing
colorectal cancer signicantly
increases in patients 50 years and
older. This means that Medicare
eligible patients are much more
susceptible to this cancer. Early
detection through colonoscopy
screening is an effective tool in
decreasing the death rates from
colorectal cancer. If colorectal
cancer is detected, curative surgi-
cal resection can improve surviv-
al rates. More advanced colorec-
tal cancers will require the use of
chemotherapy and/or radiation
therapy.
Even though early detec-
tion and better treatments have
reduced the death rates from
colorectal cancer, this progress
is in jeopardy because federal
lawmakers have plans to cut
Medicare reimbursement rates
for a wide range of therapies,
including cancer treatments.
If enacted, these cuts could
leave thousands of Ohio pa-
tients without sufcient access
to the life-saving treatments
they need. Cuts already in place
have meant that many commu-
nity cancer clinics are not re-
couping their costs to purchase
and administer chemotherapy
drugs. Additional cuts will only
make the situation worse.
Since 2003, doctors who
administer these sophisticated
treatments purchased the medi-
cations and were reimbursed
according to the average sale
price (ASP) of each drug plus
another six percent. Because
these medications are difcult
to ship, store and require of-
ce staff to administer, the six
percent add-on was intended to
cover those costs. Generally, it
did but just barely.
In 2013, under budget cuts
known as sequestration, this
reimbursement rate was cut
further. An across the board 2
percent cut was made to many
Medicare reimbursements,
which led to a further decrease
in reimbursement for physicians
who purchase and administer
these life-saving chemothera-
pies to ASP + four percent. For
many community cancer clin-
ics that were barely able to af-
ford chemotherapy drugs prior
to these newly implemented
changes, these newest changes
have been devastating. Over the
last six years roughly 290 on-
cology clinics have been closed
down, according to the Com-
munity Oncology Alliance. An-
other 400 clinics are struggling
nancially. These lower Medi-
care reimbursement rates could
drive even more clinics out of
business. The facilities that do
remain open will be forced to
turn away some of the most
vulnerable Medicare patients.
If seeing Medicare patients be-
comes a nancial liability under
these new changes, many clin-
ics could respond by accepting
fewer Medicare patients.
In addition to these exist-
ing cuts mentioned above, even
further cuts to Medicare Part
B, which pays for intravenous
and injectable drugs, are under
consideration. Senator Sher-
rod Brown and Representa-
tive Pat Tiberi strongly oppose
these misguided proposals. We
should support their efforts or
our community clinics may not
survive and the patients will
ultimately pay the price. Ohios
rural residents will be hardest
hit. Already, these patients face
serious obstacles to treating
their illnesses. Additional Part
B reductions will only exacer-
bate rural access issues, putting
the few community-based clin-
ics available to rural Ohioans in
jeopardy of nancial collapse.
MEDICARE/A10
Seniors beware: Proposed Medicare changes
can limit access to life-saving health care
Another school year is draw-
ing to a close. In the next few
weeks there will be words of
wisdom offered to this years
graduates.
Parents, teachers and repre-
sentatives from all walks of life
will provide encouragement as
these young men and women
take their place in the world.
At a few universities, gradu-
ating seniors used social media
to protest against a few pro-
posed commencement speak-
ers that ardent activists didnt
want at their respective schools
for political reasons. Several
speakers decided not to appear
where they were not welcome.
Getting the hook were such
noteworthy graduation-day
speakers as former U.S. Sec-
retary of State Condoleezza
Rice and Christine Lagarde of
France, the rst woman to head
the International Monetary
Fund.
Seems strange that students
who treasure free speech and
robust debate would use their
new-found social media powers
to disrupt a rite of spring.
Here are some words of wis-
dom handed down through the
ages that are good for people of
all ages:
- Teach a child to choose
the right path, and when he is
older he will remain upon it.
The wise man is glad to be in-
structed. Making poor excuses
makes us weak; making tough
decisions makes us strong. We
usually make a mistake when
we make an excuse.
- Cheerfulness is the Golden
Rule in action; kindness is the
essence of love in action. A
cheerful heart is good medi-
cine; a broken spirit causes one
to be ill.
- Losers look for excuses;
winners search for answers.
And, diligent study and intelli-
gent work contain the maps to
discovery, the charts to achieve-
ment and the blueprints for suc-
cess.
- The loser misses oppor-
tunities by whining, pining,
declining and reclining. The
winner makes opportunities
by going, sowing, growing and
knowing.
- The only thing heavier
than carrying a chip on our
shoulder is carrying a grudge
in our heart. And, enthusiasm
and condence fuel the res of
achievement.
- The highway to happiness
is helpfulness; the pathway to
peace is prayer; and the gate-
way to gladness is generosity.
And, we create our tomorrows
hour by hour; we mold our fu-
tures moment by moment, day
by day.

Other graduation thoughts
from the past that you may have
forgotten:
- Jim Lehrer told graduates:
Some of the dumbest people I
know have degrees from some
of Americas nest institutions
of higher learning.
- Former rst lady Barbara
Bush said, Theres a big differ-
ence between having a career
and having a life. Be sure not to
confuse the two. At the end of
your life, you will never regret
not having passed one more
test, not winning one more ver-
dict or closing one more deal.
You will regret time not spent
with a husband, a friend or a
parent.
- Joe Clark, a high school
principal, said, Many of you
will miss success because it
come dressed in overalls and
looks like work. What you do
for yourselves, you will take to
the grave. What you do for oth-
ers will live on in perpetuity.
- Actor Kelsey Grammer
said, Life will serve up stag-
gering challenges. You will nd
comfort and distress in the most
unlikely places. In the eyes of
a loved one, in the unexpected
death of a good friend, you will
nd faith. The sheer beauty of
the world around you and the
laughter of a really good joke
will sustain you. What you most
need in life will be given to you.
In the face of unimaginable an-
guish, there will be joy.
- Comedian Stephen Colbert
said, We should endeavor to
serve others, and together serve
some common goal or idea. In
my experience, you will truly
serve only what you love, be-
cause, as the prophet says, ser-
vice is love made visible. If you
love friends, you will serve your
friends. If you love community,
you will serve your commu-
nity. If you love money, you
will serve your money. And if
you love only yourself, you will
serve only yourself. And in that
case, you will have only your-
self. Instead, try to love others
and serve others, and hopefully
nd those who love and serve
you in return.
- Chesley Sully Sullen-
berger, a retired U.S. Airways
pilot, said, After giving this ad-
dress some deep thought, I urge
you to do what I have worked
to do in my life: to continue to
invest in yourselves, never stop
learning, never stop growing,
either professionally or person-
ally. To show up for your life,
choose not to be a bystander, be
present and celebrate every mo-
ment. None of us knows what
tomorrow may bring. Each of
us has the responsibility to pre-
pare ourselves well. Time will
y by. Youll wake up 40 years
from now and wonder where
the years went. You will ask
yourself a question: Did I make
a difference? My wish for each
of you is that the answer to that
question will be yes.

The gyms of that movie were the gyms we played junior high
basketball in the 1980s and that are now mostly gone. Oddly, also
gone are most of the gyms where we played high school basketball
in the 1980s.
The small town still thrives in Northwest Ohio. But Van Wert
County struggles more than our neighbors because our small
towns, save Convoy, have lost their schools. Back in the Hoosiers
era, the Van Wert County basketball tournament was something
York, Van-Del, Convoy-Union, Wren, Willshire, Hoaglin-Jack-
son, Ohio City-Liberty. All of those are now absorbed into some-
thing else, something bigger. Without the schools and with Wal-
Mart eliminating the utility of most of our village stores, there is
a creeping sense of decline in our villages. My question two years
ago was what can be done to change that? I sought advice from
Jared Ebbing, the Community Development Director of Mercer
County, where small towns seem to thrive like nowhere else.
We already utilize some of Ebbings strategies. Rebuilding in-
frastructure through Community Development Block Grants and
other funding has been steady. Convoy got its highway rebuilt last
summer, Middle Point will get major upgrades soon, and Ohio
City is progressing through the rst stages of another large grant.
Were learning how to use the revolving loan fund to enable more
projects.
But what stuck with me from my time with Ebbing was a story
he told about a company looking to locate near Mercer County.
The company was deciding between two locations and Celina was
geographically between them. The companys rep stopped for a
meet-and-greet with Ebbing as he was passing from one to the
other, just to make contact and introduce himself. Ebbing asked
the guy if he could just have an hour of his time.
Ebbing proceeded to take him on a quick tour of Mercer Coun-
ty. I dont remember which towns, but seems like Coldwater, Fort
Recovery and St. Henry were involved. The company rep was
impressed. He brought back some of his compatriots later for an
expanded tour. That company, after having narrowed its choices to
two sites prior to its visit, Celina being neither of them, located in
Celina and is now one of its larger employers. But it wasnt Celina
that closed the deal, it was the rest of the county.
Our towns are actually in decent shape - there are still mostly
nice homes out there. Its just that one damn windowless, roof-
caved-in, abandoned house on every other block that makes each
of our villages seem like theyre falling down. One of the more
successful programs I had a chance to be involved with last year
was called Move Ohio Forward where the state provided grant
money to tear down dilapidated homes. The cost of the average
teardown, even with the EPAs ever over-involvement, wasnt out-
rageous usually between six and ten thousand per home.
The Phoenix Initiative is something I have put forward to fur-
ther this effort. The idea is that the county can partner with a vil-
lage or a township to tear down a house sharing the cost fty-
fty. A lien would be placed on the property with hopes to later
recoup the investment. But just the elimination of a neglected and
crumbling house would be worth the cost multiple times over for
the rest of the community and the county and, in the end, to
the ability of the City of Van Wert and Delphos to attract large
employers.
Its not as easy as all that, though. Youd think you could just
pick a junk house and proceed. But some of the owners of these
properties have what might be termed delusions of protability.
The trick is getting permission to tear things down eminent do-
main is easy for the feds, not the locals. But if we can get just one
a year in each of our villages, a disturbing trend could be reversed
prior to its becoming irreversible.
Our small towns may never have industry like Leipsic, New
Bremen or Ottoville. But they can certainly be the shining, quiet,
desirable bedroom communities they used to be. Its counterintui-
tive, but to build well, we need to look harder at tearing down.

SAINTE-MERE-EGLISE, France
(AP) Andree Auvray, nine months
pregnant, was hiding from German
bombings in a Normandy ditch with her
husband one night in June 1944 when
their dogs started barking. The shadows
of three soldiers appeared.
We both came out to see what was
going on, she recalls. She initially
thought the men were the Nazi occupi-
ers who had upended life in her quiet
farming village. And then I said No,
its not the Germans!
The soldiers were Americans. D-
Day had begun.
Auvray relives that wrenching time
with clarity and a growing sense of
urgency. Seventy years have passed
since the Allied invasion of Normandy
helped turn the tide against Hitler. With
their numbers rapidly diminishing, she
and other French women and men who
owe their freedom to D-Days ghters
are more determined than ever to keep
alive the memory of the battle and its
meaning.
As President Barack Obama and
other world leaders prepare to gather in
Normandy next week to mark the 70th
anniversary of the battle, French sur-
vivors are speaking to schools, confer-
ences, tourists, lmmakers about their
experiences, and their gratitude.
Thats especially important to Au-
vrays hometown of Sainte-Mere-Eg-
lise, the rst village liberated by the
Allies after D-Day.
About 15,000 paratroopers landed
in and around the town not long after
midnight on June 6, 1944, and seized
it from the Germans at 4:30 a.m. An
American ag was raised in front of the
town hall.
During the drop, American para-
trooper John Steeles parachute got
caught on the church spire. For two
hours, Steele hung there, feigning
death before being taken prisoner by
the Germans. Today, a dummy para-
trooper hangs from the spire in his
honor.
Henri-Jean Renaud was an excitable
10-year-old the night the Americans
landed, and his father was the town
mayor.
Waves of planes came, paratroop-
ers landed, and one hour later af-
ter various events and ghting on the
square between Germans and Ameri-
cans (my father) came back home,
Renaud recounts. He was all excited,
saying There you go, its the (D-Day)
landing, it has nally happened!
While the population was grateful
to the Americans, cohabitation was not
easy that rst day.
The civilians were trying to make
friends with them (the Americans),
were showing gestures of sympathy,
but at the very beginning it wasnt the
hugging and kissing that one like to
bring to mind, at least in Sainte-Mere-
Eglise, he says.
You have to put yourself in the
shoes of these guys. They had been
up for thirty-six hours, they had been
parachuted by night in a hostile envi-
ronment, and I also think that even the
bravest ones were scared, Renaud ex-
plains.
STORY OF THE DAY

D-Day gratitude alive
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
Medicare can no longer
automatically deny coverage
requests for sex reassignment
surgeries, a federal board
ruled Friday in a ground-
breaking decision that rec-
ognizes the procedures are
medically necessary for some
people who dont identify with
their biological sex.
Ruling in favor of a
74-year-old transgender Army
veteran whose request to have
Medicare pay for her genital
reconstruction was denied
two years ago, a U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human
Services review board said
there was no justication for a
three-decade-old agency rule
excluding such surgeries from
treatments covered by the na-
tional health program for the
elderly and disabled.
Sometimes I am asked
arent I too old to have sur-
gery. My answer is how old is
too old? the veteran, Denee
Mallon, of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, said in an email inter-
view before the board issued
its decision.
When people ask if I am
too old, it feels like they are
implying that its a waste of
money to operate at my age.
But I could have an active life
ahead of me for another 20
years. And I want to spend
those years in congruence and
not distress.
Jennifer Levi, a lawyer
who directs the Transgender
Rights Project of Gay & Les-
bian Advocates and Defenders
in Boston, said the ruling does
not mean Medicare recipients
are necessarily entitled to
have sex reassignment surgery
paid for by the government.
Instead, the lifting of the
coverage ban means they now
will be able to seek authoriza-
tion by submitting documen-
tation from a doctor and men-
tal health professionals stating
that surgery is recommended
in their individual case, Levi
said.
Medicare ban on sex reassignment surgery lifted
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Food and Drug Administration is up-
dating its advice for pregnant women
on the appropriate levels of mercury
in seafood but Commissioner Mar-
garet Hamburg said Friday that it
wont require mercury labels on sea-
food packages.
In a wide-ranging interview Fri-
day with The Associated Press,
Hamburg said the agency will up-
date guidance on mercury in differ-
ent varieties of seafood and what that
means, a long-awaited move aimed
at helping women better understand
what to eat when theyre pregnant.
Its an advisory, not an effort to
mandate labeling, Hamburg said.
Different seafood products do con-
tain different levels of mercury, and
so different seafood products can be
rated in terms of levels of mercury.
Eating sh is part of a heart-
healthy diet, and many types are
good sources of omega-3 fatty acids
that are important for brain develop-
ment.
But sh also can absorb small
amounts of mercury, a neurotoxin,
from streams and oceans and a
small number of varieties harbor
higher levels.
For most people, accumulating
mercury from eating seafood isnt
a health risk. But for a decade, the
FDA has warned that pregnant wom-
en, those who may become pregnant,
and young children avoid certain
types of high-mercury sh because
of concern that too much could harm
a developing brain.
Consumer groups have sued the
agency, saying the warnings werent
clear enough about what to avoid,
and seeking labeling to help so that
shoppers wouldnt have to remember
which products are OK during preg-
nancy or for youngsters.
We cant ask consumers to mem-
orize two different lists of sh, said
Caroline Smith DeWaal of the Cen-
ter for Science in the Public Interest,
one of the groups that sued.
DeWaal said the new advisory
will be an improvement if it gives
consumers better information, es-
pecially if that information could
be kept at sh counters in grocery
stores and retail outlets.
The seafood industry says the
government shouldnt look at mer-
cury by itself, but at the benets of
seafood. Jennifer McGuire of the
National Fisheries Institute says the
original FDA guidelines warning
against some types of sh for preg-
nant women just served to decrease
overall seafood intake.
That would be very concerning
if there was a good sh, bad sh
list, she said.
The governments 2010 Dietary
Guidelines incorporated FDAs
warnings to say that pregnant or
breastfeeding women should con-
sume 8 to 12 ounces of a variety of
seafood per week. But it said they
should not eat tilesh, shark, sword-
sh and king mackerel because of
the mercury content and it advised
limiting white albacore tuna to six
ounces a week.
On other food-related issues,
Hamburg said deciding which busi-
nesses will have to post calorie la-
bels has been one of the more com-
plex undertakings of my tenure as
FDA commissioner.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
A San Francisco Bay Area
school district has red a high
school security ofcer who fac-
es a felony charge after he re-
peatedly slapped a handcuffed,
wheelchair-bound student suf-
fering from cerebral palsy and
dumped him onto the oor, au-
thorities said.
The May 19 attack at Oak-
land High School was caught
on surveillance footage that
shows the ofcer wheeling the
student down a hallway, lean-
ing down toward him and then
winding up and striking him
three times before pushing him
to the ground. The ofcer ap-
pears ready to strike the student
another time before another of-
cer grabs his arm and pushes
him away.
The district identied the of-
cer as Marchell Mitchell and
said on Thursday he was red
immediately after the incident.
Mitchell pleaded not guilty on
May 22 to a charge of corporal
injury to a child, said Stephanie
Chan, a spokeswoman for the
Alameda County District At-
torneys Ofce. Chan said she
did not know whether he had an
attorney.
Mitchell has posted $10,000
bail, according to county re-
cords online. A working tele-
phone number for Mitchell
couldnt be found.
The ofcer, later identied
as Mitchell, was encouraging
students lingering in a hallway
to go to class on the morning of
May 19 and began wheeling the
victim when he either refused
or was slow to move on, school
Principal Matin Abdel-Qawi
said in a letter to parents.
The student attempted to
slap away Mitchells hands,
prompting Mitchell to hand-
cuff him, Abdel-Qawi said.
Mitchell was continuing to
wheel the student to class
when the student spit on him
and Mitchell attacked, the
principal said.
Im shocked and deeply
hurt by this behavior and apolo-
gize on behalf of the staff at
Oakland High, Abdel-Qawi
said in the May 20 letter.
The student, Francisco Mar-
tinez, 17, told KTVU-TV he
suffered a scar under his chin.
He said he had been going to
therapy to strengthen his legs so
he could try to walk.
Martinez acknowledged
spitting at the security ofcer,
but he said he was handcuffed
and had no other way to defend
himself.

CHICAGO (AP) Doc-
tors may have found a way to
help young breast cancer patients
avoid infertility caused by che-
motherapy. Giving a drug to shut
down the ovaries temporarily
seems to boost the odds they will
work after treatment ends, and it
might even improve survival, a
study found.
Theyre really exciting nd-
ings that could help thousands
of women each year in the United
States alone, said the studys lead-
er, Dr. Halle Moore of the Cleve-
land Clinic.
This has implications far
beyond breast cancer, for young
women with other types of tu-
mors, too, added Dr. Clifford
Hudis, breast cancer chief at Me-
morial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center in New York City.
He is president of the Ameri-
can Society of Clinical Oncology,
which featured the study at its an-
nual conference in Chicago on
Friday. More than 30,000 cancer
specialists from around the world
are attending.
Chemotherapy often causes
premature ovarian failure, or
early menopause. Doctors think
that active ovaries are more sus-
ceptible to chemo damage, and
that making them go dormant
and stopping a womans monthly
cycles might help shield them
from harm.

COLUMBUS - STEADY U Ohio, the
statewide falls prevention initiative, and
Ohios Best Rx program, which provides
prescription drug savings for more than
1.6 million Ohioans, have partnered to
stress the role that proper prescription
medication management can play in
keeping older Ohioans safe. May is Older
Americans Month, with the theme: Safe
Today. Healthy Tomorrow. By adopting
and maintaining healthy habits, includ-
ing an open dialogue with your doctor
and pharmacist, you can avoid many risk
factors that can lead to a fall and injury.
It is not an exaggeration to call
falls among older Ohioans an epidemic.
While residents age 65 and older make
up 13.7 percent of our population, they
account for more than 80 percent of fatal
falls, said Bonnie K. Burman, Sc.D., di-
rector of the Ohio Department of Aging,
which leads the STEADY U Ohio initia-
tive. The good news is that falls are not
a normal part of aging - most falls can be
prevented with minor changes to home,
health and habits, including increased
awareness of the ways that the medicines
we take, and how we take them, may in-
crease our risk.
As a STEADY U Ohio partner,
Ohios Best Rx encourages our Golden
Buckeyes and Ohioans of all ages to
speak with their doctors and pharmacists
to see whether the medicines they take
can increase the risk of falling, added
Barry Katz, a pharmacist and president
of Envision Pharmaceutical Services,
which operates the Ohios Best Rx pro-
gram. With Ohios Best Rx, all of Ohios
seniors have access to affordable medica-
tion and top-quality pharmacists, and we
hope our residents take advantage of this
important program to avoid unnecessary
accidents.
An older Ohioan is injured in a fall ev-
ery ve minutes on average, resulting in
two hospitalizations each hour, an emer-
gency department visit every 7.5 min-
utes; and three deaths each day. Some
prescription medications can increase
your risk of falling because they may
cause dizziness, drowsiness, numbness
or may have other side effects that affect
your balance and perception.
According to the FDA, body changes
as we age can affect the way medicines
are absorbed and used. These changes
include slower digestion, increased body
weight, slower circulation and decreased
liver and kidney function. These changes
increase the risk of drug side effects and
interactions for older adults.
To help reduce your risk of falling
due to drug interactions or side effects,
STEADY U Ohio and Ohios Best Rx of-
fer these tips:
Maintain a list of all the drugs you
take - Include doses, frequency and pre-
scribing doctor. Also include any over-
the-counter medicines (pain relievers,
antacids, cold medicines, etc.) or supple-
ments you take. Bring the list with you to
doctors appointments and when you pick
up prescriptions.
Read the label - if it says may cause
dizziness or drowsiness, or cautions
against driving, ask about the best time
to take it to avoid falls. Also ask about al-
ternative treatments with less hazardous
side effects.
Take your medicine exactly as pre-
scribed. If you nd it hard to stick to a
medication schedule or if you have trouble
telling medicines apart, your doctor may
have some ideas to help. Similarly, ask your
doctor to write detailed directions on how
and when to take your medications.
Talk to your doctor about changes to
your eating habits (such as a low-fat or
high-calcium diet), as well as how much
caffeine and alcohol you consume, as these
can all affect how your medicines work.
If you have trouble reading warning
labels or directions on your medicine
containers, your pharmacist may be able
to provide the same information in an
easier-to-read format.
Choose over-the-counter medications
that only have the ingredients you need.
Your pharmacist can help select the best
OTC options for your symptoms.

Today, even some teachers dont want to
play by the rules. I realize that todays fash-
ion allows (mostly) women to show more skin
and promotes a sexier look, but there are times
people need to be appropriate. One school in
Little Rock, Arkansas had to send out notices
to teachers that beginning in the fall, a stricter
dress code would be in force. The new rules
are aimed at the female teachers, and probably
the high school boys who are distracted by
their teachers attire.
Among the new rules: no skin showing
between pants and blouses, no spandex cloth-
ing, no slogans for sex, drugs, or alcohol are
permitted, tattoos must be covered, and bras
must be worn by all females. According to the
account I read from Little Rock, some teach-
ers are already trying to nd ways around the
requirements, and several have turned to their
union to try to loosen the rules. They seem to
miss the point.
Dress appropriately. In this case, dress
professionally. It wont help a teenage boy to
concentrate on geometry to have photoshop
corrections made months later. Perhaps these
teachers will be treated with more respect
when they go to work
Im all for dressing the way you want. I
love freedom, but it seems that some people
treasure the freedom to dress unprofessionally
over following the rules or just plain being pro-
fessional. Sometimes the rules, no matter how
stupid they seem, are a good idea.

This doesnt bear the slight-

Debate typically occurs during the second
reading. Once the House passes the bill, it goes
to the Senate or vice versus. Now that it is in
the Senate, it again gets assigned to a com-
mittee, and follows a similar process of the
House. Typically, modications are made, and
a slightly different version is passed.
Now the bill must go to a joint conference
committee where members of both houses will
convene to hash out the wording, making both
previously passed Bills identical. The newly
written bill now must be passed again in both
houses. Once it is passed, it is sent to the Presi-
dent, where he can sign it or veto it.
If he signs, it becomes law; and if he vetoes,
it is returned to the house of origin where the
veto can be over-ridden by a 2/3 vote. If it pre-
vails, it then must follow the same procedure
in the other house. If this occurs, the veto is
over-ridden and the bill becomes law.
Many people think this is an unnecessary
and lengthy process, but I would argue it is a
much needed system. Transparency is always
best! The more opportunities the people have
to read and understand, than the less likely our
government has to be corrupt. The responsi-
bility of a creditable government lies with the
people. How much time do you spend reading
what Congress does?

Not all students will attend college, but it
is important to have citizens educated in the
eld of science. Critical thinking citizens can
only be a good thing. Students who do go to
college will learn it is not an extension of high
school. Students need to be able to translate
their knowledge in demonstrable ways and be
able to work with others. Project-based learn-
ing, like I witnessed at VWHS, is a good way
to make this happen.

To the editor,
I just want to take this time to express my
appreciation to all those who took part in the
Memorial Day services. The day was one that
can go down in the record books as one of the
more successful, only to be outdone by our
dedication program. The weather cooperated
and allowed us to pay our respects to those
men and women who served our country in an
unselsh way by giving their lives to preserve
the freedoms we enjoy today.
Thanks to the Delphos Police and Fireght-
ers for joining in the parade and maintaining
the trafc as the service was going on. Thanks
to Mayor Gallmeier for his encouraging words
along with the support he gives us throughout
the year.
Appreciation also goes out to Jefferson and
St. Johns bands that have contributed to the
success of our program. A special thanks goes
out to Jane Hare and David Stearns for their
dedication and great work they are doing with
our students.
Additional thanks goes to the area Boy
Scouts, Cub Scouts and their leaders for not
only taking part in the parade but for assisting
in handing out water during the service.
I also wanted to acknowledge the work that
our local veteran organizations have done and
continue to do to help support the Veterans
Council. Thanks to American Legion Post 268
and its Ladies Auxiliary, the Blue Star Moth-
ers, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, their Ladies
Auxiliary and the Military Order of the Coo-
ties. Thanks also to those members of the Fu-
neral Detail for all you have done and continue
to do to honor those veterans who go before us.
A special thanks to Doug Harter for the many
times throughout the year he has played taps in
honor of those who have passed away.
And nally, I would like to thank Dave
Roach for yet another year of service to our
veterans. His many years as Master of Cere-
mony for Veterans Day will never be forgotten.

do I know thats who you really are?
Youll have to believe and take my word.
What can I do for you sir?
Its not what you can do for me, its what I
can do for you.
What do you mean?
I can give you Eternal Life in my Son.
Oh, yea hows that?
All you have to do is ask. If you have not my
Son, your lost.
Jesus says I am the way and the truth and

No one comes to the Father but through me.

Even though Part B cuts are intended to re-
duce healthcare costs, some fear they would
likely have the opposite effect. According to a
report from the actuarial rm Milliman, chemo-
therapy patients treated in an outpatient hospital
based setting have signicantly higher costs than
those treated in a doctors ofce or a community
clinic. Indeed, the Moran Company recently
conrmed hospital chemotherapy can be up to
47 percent more expensive. If more clinics shut
down, patients will be forced to turn to hospitals
for their physician-administered therapies, driv-
ing healthcare costs up in the process.
Cancer patients are not the only ones af-
fected. Seniors with conditions like inamma-
tory bowel disease, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis
many of whom require regular infusions of
physician-administered drugs could see their
treatment options dwindle. As Ohio representa-
tives in Washington consider further proposals to
cut Medicare Part B they should consider their
vulnerable seniors and disabled constituents. Our
healthcare centers are already struggling to pay
the bills, and its no time to shortchange doctors,
clinics, or patients.

More than 400 WPA work-

told they would be able to
return to work by June 5, ac-
cording to WPA district of-
cials. Technicalities in the
countys project schedule had
been worked out but not before
the workers would miss three
weeks of pay. More bad news
rolled out of Washington later
in the day, however, as Congres-
sional plans called for forcing a
60-day unpaid vacation on all
WPA workers who had been
out of work for more than 15
months. The break was to en-
courage the workers to search-
for private employment.

Eickholt said seeing her daughter go
through treatments and surgery was emotional
to deal with as a parent but Addison really
kept everyone else strong. Not long after sur-
gery, Addison was back up and playing with
her older sister, Avery.
She did wonderful through it all, Eickholt
said. She was never sick and still played all
the time. She did cry when she had to go to the
doctors [ofce] and all she really says about it
is I dont want to go there.
In July, her hair started falling out so Eick-
holt decided it was time to cut it.
It didnt phase her. She had about a dozen
headbands to wear. Now when you try to put
her hair up youd think you were murdering
her just trying to comb through it, Eickholt
laughed.
Addison decided to cut her Rapunzel dolls
hair and showed it to her mom and said, Now
she looks like me.
Now, Addisons hair has started growing
back and she has follow-up visits to check for
any signs of cancer just every three months.
Still, any time someone wakes Addison up
early in the morning, she thinks its time to go
to the doctor and she cries. And when she ex-
periences something new for the rst time, she
gets scared.
Shes apprehensive about new situations
because shes been poked and prodded so
many times, Eickholt said. We just have to
explain to her what is happening before we do
something new and that helps.
Addison will start preschool in the fall and
Eickholt has already started preparing her for
the new experience.
Addison understands she will have to go to
school to learn, but like many 3-year-olds, she
would rather stay at home and play.
The support from other family members
and the community helped more than Eickholt
could have ever expected. She said that even
$20 gas cards from family and friends were
a godsend after having to drive to Columbus
weekly.
We would have driven there as much as
we had to because thats where we felt like she
was getting the best treatment, Eickholt said.
A $20 gift card helps more than youd ever
know.
Relay for Life gives the family a chance
to see all the support behind Addison. This
year, she will serve as the Childrens Honorary
Chair for the Delphos Relay for Life on June
20-21 at the Community Track and she gets
to help carry the banner during the Survivors
Lap.
Shes excited about it, Eickholt said.
When we told what shes going to do, shes
like, Wheres my banner? She thought she
got to do it right then.
Everything looks good and clear now. Ad-
disons next check up is in July and then again
in three months. Then she will go to every six
months.
We would go for check ups as many times as
they want us to just for that reassurance, Eick-
holt said. If thats what it takes, well do it.
COLEMAN

We met with the Ohio En-

do moving forward to benet
the community as effectively
and efciently as we can. We
hope to have some solid an-
swers soon and we want to
make sure we are doing the
right thing.
Coleman knows the prob-
lems the city faces didnt just
happen yesterday.
What Delphos is facing
didnt happen overnight and
its not going to be xed over-
night. I know that, he said.
No one was immune to the
economic downturn. Every-
one had to deal with it in their
own way. Well get through
it.
The Van Wert native is
looking at some unconven-
tional solutions.
We have to be able to
think outside the box. We have
some unique challenges that
are going to require that, he
said. We have to be willing to
change. Government from top
to bottom does things a cer-
tain way because they always
have. Thats not good enough
anymore.
Coleman is also dealing
with the day-to-day issues of
running his departments and
the challenges from the pub-
lic.
Im looking at zoning
and codes to make our city
look better, Coleman said.
We need to clean up some of
our buildings and take care
of some of the problems that
have been brought to our at-
tention. As always, we look
to the public for help with
some issues. We are getting
calls about unmowed yards
and junk cars. The problem is
universal. Everyone has these
problems. We want to encour-
age property owners to take
care of their properties and
when they can, help those who
might not be able to or who
are absent to make our city
look better as a whole.
Even though he faces some
big hurdles, Colemans love
for public hasnt waned in his
new position.
This is an interesting job;
a lot of work but interesting.
Im enjoying it, he said. Im
impressed with the passion of
the people of Delphos and my
welcome has been great. Ive
received a lot of invitations
from groups and organiza-
tions to introduce myself and
Im getting know everyone.
Im looking forward to mov-
ing here in the next several
months.
FCC
(From page A1)
The agency has claimed it would impose a
policy known as net neutrality, but some ana-
lysts have pointed out that under the FCCs
version, each Internet service provider (ISP)
could determine what rate to charge web ser-
vices to deliver data over the net, and which
programming should be sent rst and fastest
to consumers.
At a time when the Internet economy is
thriving and driving robust productivity and
economic growth, it is reckless to suggest, let
alone adopt, policies that threaten its success,
added Latta. Reclassication would heap 80
years of regulatory baggage on broadband pro-
viders, restricting their exibility to innovate
and placing them at the mercy of a government
agency. These businesses thrive on dynamism
and the ability to evolve quickly to shifting
market and consumer forces. Subjecting them
to bureaucratic red tape wont promote inno-
vation, consumer welfare or the economy, and
I encourage my House colleagues to support
this legislation, so we can foster continued in-
novation and investment within the broadband
marketplace.
TRAVERSE CITY,
Mich. (AP) The Obama
administration on Friday
proposed an updated ve-
year blueprint for Great
Lakes environmental pro-
tection that would put
greater emphasis on climate
change and using science to
choose cleanup projects.
Congress has appropri-
ated $1.6 billion since 2009
for the Great Lakes Restora-
tion Initiative, which targets
what experts consider the
most pressing threats to the
freshwater seas: toxic con-
tamination, invasive spe-
cies, loss of wildlife habi-
tat and runoff that causes
noxious algae blooms. The
administration is proposing
a second phase that would
continue work in those areas
while addressing concerns
about how well the program
is meeting its objectives.
Protecting communi-
ties around the Great Lakes
and restoring this important
ecosystem is a national and
binational imperative, said
Gina McCarthy, chief of the
U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency, which coordi-
nates the program with sup-
port from 10 other federal
departments.
They have awarded more
than 2,100 grants to univer-
sities, nonprots, tribes and
government agencies across
the eight-state region for
projects including removal
of sediments laced with
toxic chemicals, rebuilding
wetlands and uprooting in-
vasive plants. The program
also has supported the ght
to prevent aggressive Asian
carp from reaching the
lakes.
A federal task force de-
veloped the new installment
in consultation with region-
al stakeholder groups, said
Cameron Davis, a senior
adviser to McCarthy. A -
nal version is to be adopted
by Oct. 1, allowing time for
public comment.
In addition to redoubling
efforts in the four problem
areas, it calls for taking cli-
mate change into account
in new projects. Wetland
plants and trees would be
selected for suitability to
warmer temperatures. Wa-
tershed restorations would
be designed to cope with
more frequent and intense
storms, which could cause
heavier erosion and runoff.
The task force would pro-
duce climate resilience cri-
teria and update it yearly.
Another new feature
seeks to strengthen the sci-
entic basis for choosing
restoration projects and de-
termining how well theyre
meeting the programs
goals.

Even though Part B cuts are intended to re-
duce healthcare costs, some fear they would
likely have the opposite effect. According to a
report from the actuarial rm Milliman, chemo-
therapy patients treated in an outpatient hospital
based setting have signicantly higher costs than
those treated in a doctors ofce or a community
clinic. Indeed, the Moran Company recently
conrmed hospital chemotherapy can be up to
47 percent more expensive. If more clinics shut
down, patients will be forced to turn to hospitals
for their physician-administered therapies, driv-
ing healthcare costs up in the process.
Cancer patients are not the only ones af-
fected. Seniors with conditions like inamma-
tory bowel disease, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis
many of whom require regular infusions of
physician-administered drugs could see their
treatment options dwindle. As Ohio representa-
tives in Washington consider further proposals to
cut Medicare Part B they should consider their
vulnerable seniors and disabled constituents. Our
healthcare centers are already struggling to pay
the bills, and its no time to shortchange doctors,
clinics, or patients.

More than 400 WPA work-
ers in Van Wert County were
told they would be able to
return to work by June 5, ac-
cording to WPA district of-
cials. Technicalities in the
countys project schedule had
been worked out but not before
the workers would miss three
weeks of pay. More bad news
rolled out of Washington later
in the day, however, as Congres-
sional plans called for forcing a
60-day unpaid vacation on all
WPA workers who had been
out of work for more than 15
months. The break was to en-
courage the workers to search-
for private employment.
The Lion Clothing team
defeated Raabes at Water-
work Park Thursday night by
a score of 18 to 6. The Lions
secured 19 hits and Raabes
men were held to six. Adams
hit a home run for the Lion
team. The win enables the
Lion team to take undisputed
possession of rst place in
the league which they shared
with Raabes before Thursday
nights game.
TODDLER
(From page A1)
Eickholt said seeing her daughter go
through treatments and surgery was emotional
to deal with as a parent but Addison really
kept everyone else strong. Not long after sur-
gery, Addison was back up and playing with
her older sister, Avery.
She did wonderful through it all, Eickholt
said. She was never sick and still played all
the time. She did cry when she had to go to the
doctors [ofce] and all she really says about it
is I dont want to go there.
In July, her hair started falling out so Eick-
holt decided it was time to cut it.
It didnt phase her. She had about a dozen
headbands to wear. Now when you try to put
her hair up youd think you were murdering
her just trying to comb through it, Eickholt
laughed.
Addison decided to cut her Rapunzel dolls
hair and showed it to her mom and said, Now
she looks like me.
Now, Addisons hair has started growing
back and she has follow-up visits to check for
any signs of cancer just every three months.
Still, any time someone wakes Addison up
early in the morning, she thinks its time to go
to the doctor and she cries. And when she ex-
periences something new for the rst time, she
gets scared.
Shes apprehensive about new situations
because shes been poked and prodded so
many times, Eickholt said. We just have to
explain to her what is happening before we do
something new and that helps.
Addison will start preschool in the fall and
Eickholt has already started preparing her for
the new experience.
Addison understands she will have to go to
school to learn, but like many 3-year-olds, she
would rather stay at home and play.
The support from other family members
and the community helped more than Eickholt
could have ever expected. She said that even
$20 gas cards from family and friends were
a godsend after having to drive to Columbus
weekly.
We would have driven there as much as
we had to because thats where we felt like she
was getting the best treatment, Eickholt said.
A $20 gift card helps more than youd ever
know.
Relay for Life gives the family a chance
to see all the support behind Addison. This
year, she will serve as the Childrens Honorary
Chair for the Delphos Relay for Life on June
20-21 at the Community Track and she gets
to help carry the banner during the Survivors
Lap.
Shes excited about it, Eickholt said.
When we told what shes going to do, shes
like, Wheres my banner? She thought she
got to do it right then.
Everything looks good and clear now. Ad-
disons next check up is in July and then again
in three months. Then she will go to every six
months.
We would go for check ups as many times as
they want us to just for that reassurance, Eick-
holt said. If thats what it takes, well do it.
COLEMAN
(From page A1)
We met with the Ohio En-
vironmental Protection Agen-
cy last week and we did get
some direction, he said. We
brought them a couple of sug-
gestions for modications we
are working on to improve ef-
ciency and we want what we
do moving forward to benet
the community as effectively
and efciently as we can. We
hope to have some solid an-
swers soon and we want to
make sure we are doing the
right thing.
Coleman knows the prob-
lems the city faces didnt just
happen yesterday.
What Delphos is facing
didnt happen overnight and
its not going to be xed over-
night. I know that, he said.
No one was immune to the
economic downturn. Every-
one had to deal with it in their
own way. Well get through
it.
The Van Wert native is
looking at some unconven-
tional solutions.
We have to be able to
think outside the box. We have
some unique challenges that
are going to require that, he
said. We have to be willing to
change. Government from top
to bottom does things a cer-
tain way because they always
have. Thats not good enough
anymore.
Coleman is also dealing
with the day-to-day issues of
running his departments and
the challenges from the pub-
lic.
Im looking at zoning
and codes to make our city
look better, Coleman said.
We need to clean up some of
our buildings and take care
of some of the problems that
have been brought to our at-
tention. As always, we look
to the public for help with
some issues. We are getting
calls about unmowed yards
and junk cars. The problem is
universal. Everyone has these
problems. We want to encour-
age property owners to take
care of their properties and
when they can, help those who
might not be able to or who
are absent to make our city
look better as a whole.
Even though he faces some
big hurdles, Colemans love
for public hasnt waned in his
new position.
This is an interesting job;
a lot of work but interesting.
Im enjoying it, he said. Im
impressed with the passion of
the people of Delphos and my
welcome has been great. Ive
received a lot of invitations
from groups and organiza-
tions to introduce myself and
Im getting know everyone.
Im looking forward to mov-
ing here in the next several
months.
FCC
(From page A1)
The agency has claimed it would impose a
policy known as net neutrality, but some ana-
lysts have pointed out that under the FCCs
version, each Internet service provider (ISP)
could determine what rate to charge web ser-
vices to deliver data over the net, and which
programming should be sent rst and fastest
to consumers.
At a time when the Internet economy is
thriving and driving robust productivity and
economic growth, it is reckless to suggest, let
alone adopt, policies that threaten its success,
added Latta. Reclassication would heap 80
years of regulatory baggage on broadband pro-
viders, restricting their exibility to innovate
and placing them at the mercy of a government
agency. These businesses thrive on dynamism
and the ability to evolve quickly to shifting
market and consumer forces. Subjecting them
to bureaucratic red tape wont promote inno-
vation, consumer welfare or the economy, and
I encourage my House colleagues to support
this legislation, so we can foster continued in-
novation and investment within the broadband
marketplace.
TRAVERSE CITY,
Mich. (AP) The Obama
administration on Friday
proposed an updated ve-
year blueprint for Great
Lakes environmental pro-
tection that would put
greater emphasis on climate
change and using science to
choose cleanup projects.
Congress has appropri-
ated $1.6 billion since 2009
for the Great Lakes Restora-
tion Initiative, which targets
what experts consider the
most pressing threats to the
freshwater seas: toxic con-
tamination, invasive spe-
cies, loss of wildlife habi-
tat and runoff that causes
noxious algae blooms. The
administration is proposing
a second phase that would
continue work in those areas
while addressing concerns
about how well the program
is meeting its objectives.
Protecting communi-
ties around the Great Lakes
and restoring this important
ecosystem is a national and
binational imperative, said
Gina McCarthy, chief of the
U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency, which coordi-
nates the program with sup-
port from 10 other federal
departments.
They have awarded more
than 2,100 grants to univer-
sities, nonprots, tribes and
government agencies across
the eight-state region for
projects including removal
of sediments laced with
toxic chemicals, rebuilding
wetlands and uprooting in-
vasive plants. The program
also has supported the ght
to prevent aggressive Asian
carp from reaching the
lakes.
A federal task force de-
veloped the new installment
in consultation with region-
al stakeholder groups, said
Cameron Davis, a senior
adviser to McCarthy. A -
nal version is to be adopted
by Oct. 1, allowing time for
public comment.
In addition to redoubling
efforts in the four problem
areas, it calls for taking cli-
mate change into account
in new projects. Wetland
plants and trees would be
selected for suitability to
warmer temperatures. Wa-
tershed restorations would
be designed to cope with
more frequent and intense
storms, which could cause
heavier erosion and runoff.
The task force would pro-
duce climate resilience cri-
teria and update it yearly.
Another new feature
seeks to strengthen the sci-
entic basis for choosing
restoration projects and de-
termining how well theyre
meeting the programs
goals.

TIFFIN Columbus
Groves girls track team ad-
vanced in six events and the
boys team two from the Divi-
sion III regional meet at Tif-
ns Frost Kalnow-Stadium.
Meanwhile, a senior and a
freshman will represent the
Wayne Trace boys track and
eld team at the state meet
next Friday and Saturday at
Jesse Owens Memorial Stadi-
um in Columbus.The Division
III state meet gets underway
Friday at 9:30 a.m. with the
4x800 meter relay nals fol-
lowed by semi-nals in the
running events. The Division
III eld events will be Friday
afternoon.
Wayne Trace freshman
Seth Saylor punched his ticket
to the state meet, rallying at
the end of the 300 meter hur-
dles to post a third-place n-
ish with a time of 40.18. Say-
lor, who was towards the back
of the pack coming around
the corner, put together a tre-
mendous rally down the home
stretch to clinch a spot in next
weekends state meet.
He was not near the top
when he came around the cor-
ner, commented Wayne Trace
head coach Troy Branch. He
closed the race though very
strong and we really didnt
know where he nished
from where we stood. He has
worked extremely hard and is
such a great kid, though, and
we are extremely happy for
him.
Its pretty hard for a fresh-
man to qualify and Seth did
in the hurdles on top of that,
which is rare, Branch added.
It will be a tremendous expe-
rience for him.
Senior Arlen Stoller also
will represent the red-white-
and-blue in the state meet
on Saturday after posting a
fourth-place nish in the 1600
run with a time of 4:28.56.
Arlen ran a real nice race,
continued the Raider mentor.
We had talked coming in that
we just wanted to make sure
we got at least a fourth place
nish and we were pretty con-
tent with that.
Stoller stayed with the front
pack, according to Branch,
and eventually the quartet
pulled away to clinch their
state berths. Colonel Craw-
fords Clay Martin won the
event (4:24.29) followed by
Antwerps Sam Williamson
(4:24.31), Pettisvilles Kyle
Lantz (4:27.49) and Stoller.
He is an amazing kid and
he just never loses his com-
posure, Branch added. He
keeps going and trying and
works so hard at what he does.
He has had a great year and
has been able to stay healthy
this year.
Bulldog junior Sydney Mc-
Cluer and senior Julia Wynn
led the Bulldogs qualifying
efforts Friday evening as they
each advanced in three events.
McCluer picked up the
Lady Bulldogs lone regional
championship as she won the
100 intermediate hurdles. Mc-
Cluer won the event with a
time of 15.71 as Toledo Chris-
tians Darian Westmeyer was
second in 16.03.
McCluer then teamed with
Raiya Flores, Julia Wynn and
Linnea Stephens to nish
fourth in the 4x100 relay in
50.04 and with Kristin Wynn,
Flores and Julia Wynn to n-
ish fourth in the 4x400 relay in
4:06.36. McCluer was nearly
a four event qualier as she
just missed advancing in the
300 hurdles as she nished
fth in 46.21.
The Bulldogs 4x200 relay
team of Flores, Kristin Wynn,
Stephens and Julia Wynn
qualied for state with a
fourth place nish in 1:46.73.
Megan Verhoff advanced
to the state meet Friday as
she nished second in the
discus with a throw of 135-3.
Leipsics Holly Averesch won
the discus with a throw of 147-
5.
The lone Bulldog male to
advance Friday evening was
junior Bryce Sharrits. Sharrits
nished third in the 800 meter
run in 1:58.57. Sharrits will
be competing in two events
at state as he was part of the
3200 meter relay team that
nished second on Thursday
afternoon.
The only other Wayne
Trace athlete to place in the re-
gional meet was junior Shayna
Temple, who nished sixth in
the girls high jump after a leap
of 4-10.
Wayne Traces 3200 relay
team of Arlen Stoller, Cole
Shepherd, Seth Saylor and
Brandon Zartman took ninth

TROY Top four.
That is the goal for every track and eld athlete at dis-
trict or regional.
That guarantees you move on to the next level, which
in Fridays case at Troy Memorial Stadium, meant the Di-
vision III State Track and Field Championships starting
next Friday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
Leading the Tri-County pack was Crestview junior
Mycah Grandstaff, who ran a blistering 9:36.38 to take
the 3,200-meter title.
I had to run fast; the competition pushed me hard. I
kind of like that better; it makes you run better and more
focused, Grandstaff explained. I wanted to set the pace
today and it felt really smooth. That was my personal re-
cord, so I like that.
I do get tired, but I try not to show it and give my op-
ponents a good feeling that its affecting me. This warmer
weather has been tougher on us distance guys because
we use up more water; its better for sprinters. I really
worked hard on hydration the last two weeks because of
the warmer weather.
Crestview also had a 4x100-meter relay sopho-
mores Sage Schaffner and Malcolm Oliver, junior Zach
Jellison and sophomore Isaiah Kline also take rst.
Later on, Jellison and Kline combined with senior Mi-
chael Hansard and junior Alex Cunningham to take third
in the 4x400.
We are blessed to be here and have such great team-
mates. Our coaches really push us hard in practice and
get us prepared for moments like these; thats how I ex-
plain it, Kline said.
This has been such a great sports year for us at Crest-
view, Oliver added. We went farther in football that we
ever had before and most of us were part of it, we won
state in boys basketball and now we have this for the track
season. We work so well together; we click and the great
thing is were getting better every week.
St. Johns junior Tyler Conley secured a third place in
the boys 800-meter run but his later try at the boys 4x400
along with junior Brian Pohlman and sophomores Ty-
ler Ledyard and Curtis Pohlman ended up seventh in
the nals.
Its a mixed feeling for me. Its nice I advanced as
an individual in the 800 but it would have been better
to get my three teammates with me down there, Conley
explained. We didnt set a personal record in the relay,
nor did I in the 800, but it was close. I didnt run as well
as Id hoped, but I ran as well as I could today. Hopefully,
that run my best is next week.
Ottovilles girls 4x400 quartet of seniors Taylor
Mangas and Karin Wendeberg and freshmen Madison
Knodell and Brooke Mangas grabbed third in that event.
We were fourth coming in with our time today, so to
move up a spot was nice. Im so excited for this, Man-
gas asserted. When you consider we only had eight girls
on our roster this year and half are going to state, thats
pretty nice. The two freshmen push us, especially since
Brooke is my younger sister, and Karin is an exchange
student who stays with us.
For Wendeberg, its a different experience.
I am a soccer player, and Im used to playing one or
two big games in front of crowds like this, she added.
This is fun. Im only here for a year and its nice to go
through experiences like this.
Taylor earlier had clinched fourth in the girls 300-me-
ter hurdles.
I made it to state as a freshman, but I had hip injuries
my sophomore and junior years. I didnt run the 100s this
year and we had a different workout that helped my hip
exors stay healthy, Mangas added. We were in the 4x1
relay earlier and I could tell I was a little tired from that;
my legs werent quite as strong in the hurdles or the 4x4
but overall, I felt pretty good.
A second-place nisher among the locals was Lincoln-
view junior Bayley Tow, who did so in the boys 1,600-me-
ter run.
I felt strong all the way. I think I could have done a
better job of conserving energy in the last two laps but
I didnt, Tow said. I feel like Im peaking at the right
time. Coach (Matt Langdon) talks to us all the time about
trusting our training and it works. He has a great track
record on that, of getting us in our peak form at this time
of year.
However, Tow later pulled out of the 3,200-meter run.
We decided that it would be better to pull out and
be better prepared for the 1,600 at state. That is my best
event and I want to have my full rest and recovery to do
as best I can, he added.
The nal competitor that clinched third was Spencer-
ville junior Shania Johnson in the girls discus.
I threw 106 feet. My (personal record)) is 118 feet,
she said. I think everybody was really nervous going in.
Im not sure anyone really threw their best but it was good
enough.
I know for me, I was the last one to throw and that
can be both good and bad. Bad for waiting around and
seeing if anyone pops a big one. The good thing is I had a
great idea of who was doing what, so I dont think I was
as nervous as I expected. The good thing now is that I
know I can throw better. My goal was to advance to state
and I did that and now I can focus on my form this week
and see how well I can do.

FAIRBORN Crestview senior Adrian Camp showed
some nerves in his district nal start versus Minster last week.
With a trip to the Division IV nal four on the line on Friday
in Fairborn, Camp took the hill with poise and condence and
pitched the Knights to an 8-2 win over Cincinnati Country Day.
At Districts, I was really nervous going in because I didnt
want to end the season for my teammates, but today I was
hyped, said senior Adrian Camp. Tonight, I really wanted
the ball and to pitch so that I could help out my teammates as
much as I could. This is my last year and I want to go to state.
Indians starter Domenic Doane struck out Cam Etzler to be-
gin the game, but things would go downhill for him in a hurry.
After the leadoff strikeout, he walked Damien Helm on four
straight pitches before Jordan Roop lined a double to the left-
center eld gap, scoring Helm for the rst run of the ball game.
Nate Owens then singled to the outeld bringing Roop into
score. Senior Isaiah Simmerman continued the inning with a
single, putting runners on rst and second with still only one
out. Bryce Richardson lined one up the middle scoring Owens
before Jordan Miller grounded out to second scoring Simmer-
man. The Knights took a 4-0 lead before Camp ever threw a
pitch.
We needed to get out of the gates strong and we did, said
Crestview head coach Jim Wharton. It gives a lot of con-
dence to your starting pitcher and Adrian pitched a gem, I
couldnt be more pleased with him. He came into the year with
limited varsity experience pitching, but he has pitched a lot of
gems and won some big games.
Camp, who threw a complete game six-hitter in the district
semi-nal last Wednesday, got Austin Harden to y out to right
on the rst pitch of the day. He then surrendered back-to-back
singles from Greg Foster and Cam Aldred and a walk to Don-
nie Allen to load the bases with one out. Camp then retired the
next two batters to end the Indian half of the inning.
The Knights added to their lead in the third inning as Roop
reached rst on an error before advancing to third on Nate Ow-
ens second single of the game. Jordan Miller then contributed
to the Knight offense when he hit a bases clearing double over
the left elders head to give the Knights a 7-0 lead. Jordan
Miller was then thrown out at home on a Mitchell Rickard y
out to center eld. The Indians threw out two runners on the
day at the plate.
Camp struggled in the Country Day half of the third as he
surrendered two doubles to lead off the inning, scoring the
rst Indian run on the day. A second run was scored in the in-
ning when Charlie Sachs singled up the middle, plating Foster.
Camp and the Crestview defense was very strong in the nal
four innings of the game, as no more than four batters came to
bat in any of the innings.
Crestview added one more run in the sixth, as Etzler sin-
gled to right eld while Mitchell Rickard, who was previously
walked, scored from second base. The Knights left the bases
loaded in the top of the seventh inning, but only stranded ve
runners the entire game.
After a shaky few innings, Camp returned to the mound in
the seventh inning to try and close out the game for the Knights.
Camp retired the rst batter in the inning on a groundout that
was hit softly back to the mound, bringing the Indian top of the
order to the plate for the fourth time in the game. Harden ew
out center for the second out. Camp then got ahead of Foster
0-2 before Foster drew two balls and fouled of two pitches. He
then threw a fastball that Foster swung on and missed to end
the game.
Camp pitched a complete game 5-hitter and struck out seven
Indians while walking three.
I started off a little bit slow, but when I came in and we
were up 4-0, a lot of the pressure was off of me, said Camp.
I felt ne, but I struggled to nd the strike zone early. The
ump had a tight strike zone, but my defense was behind me,
and Coach stuck with me the whole way and Im glad because I
really wanted to nish the game off myself. If we were going to
lose, I wanted the loss to be on me, not my teammates.
Crestview, who is becoming a familiar face in state tourna-
ments, is headed to Columbus for the third time in one year.
The Knights played in the state tournament last spring and also
summer in ACME baseball. Crestviews football team made it
to the state playoffs last fall and won their ever playoff game in
school history and were followed by a state championship on
the court this winter.
Its just the people, said senior Damien Helm of Crest-
views recent success. It starts with the parents, works down
to faculty which, in turn, shows with our great group of hard-
working kids. Everything is just paying off for us right now,
and we are doing things the right way and the way the need
to be done. Got to give credit to all of our fan base, because
theyre what makes it special. We are heading to Columbus
more relaxed than last year, and we are going to head in there
and have fun.
With Fridays loss, Cincinnati Country Day nishes its sea-
son with a 19-7 record. The Knights move to 20-6 on the 2014
campaign and will face off against the Tinora Rams in the Di-
vision IV state semi-nal at Huntington Park on Thursday at
10 a.m.

Weekly Fish Ohio! Report
NORTHWEST OHIO
Scioto River (Hardin
County) - Channel Catsh:
have been biting on nightcrawlers. Access the river at the
bridge at CR 245.
Upper Sandusky Reservoir #2 (118 acres; Wyandot County)
- Largemouth bass: Nice catches are being taken using tube
jigs shed through weed beds; the best colors have been motor
oil and crawsh. Most sh are in the 15- to 20-inch range; the
best shing has been in the shallow areas on the south and east
sides. Boats are allowed with electric motors only.
Bresler Reservoir (582 acres; Allen County) - Crappie: are
being caught in the southwest corner by the pump house; jigs
or minnows under a slip bobber have been working great. A
few anglers reported catching sh between 9-10 a.m. Boats are
allowed with electric motors only.
NORTHEAST OHIO
Pymatuning Lake (16,349 acres; Ashtabula County) - Ap-
proximately 1 mile east of Andover and 1 mile north of
Jamestown, PA, SR 85 (Ohio) bisects its northern and south-
ern sections and becomes SR 285 at the Pennsylvania border
(approximately 1 mile east of Pymatuning Lake Road), which
is situated near the middle of the 2-mile bridge overlooking
the lake. Five boat-launch ramps are available; a 20-HP mo-
tor limit is in effect. White bass: focus efforts near the Route
85/285 causeway using in-line spinners and jig and curly-tail
combos. Sunsh: bluegill are biting well at the upper end; use
wax worms, maggots, or small worms on small hooks (#10 or
smaller) or pin-mins under bobbers. Carp: are also biting well
at the upper end; sh nightcrawlers on the bottom.
Mosquito Lake (7,241 acres; Trumbull County) - Mosquito
Creek Lake is approximately 1 mile west of SR 5 in Cortland.
Five maintained boat-launch ramps are available; unlimited

along the bank. Fish are hitting around 18 inches deep.
Cowan Lake (Clinton County) Saugeye: action is heating
up, with anglers taking better numbers of 13- to 20-inch sh;
try casting a jig tipped with a piece of nightcrawler and hop it
along the bottom in 5-12 feet of water near the beach. If you
prefer trolling, saugeyes can be taken on shad-patterned me-
dium- or deep-diving crank baits; a lot of 7- to 8-inch crappis
are being caught on small tube jigs or minnows shed near
submerged trees 6-15 feet deep. Bluegills: can be caught on red

The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie
is 6 sh per angler; minimum size limit is 15 inches. The
daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 sh per angler on all Ohio
waters of Lake Erie. Black bass (largemouth and small-
mouth bass): is closed to possession (catch and release only).
Western Basin
Walleye: Fishing has been good off Magee Marsh, near
A, B, and L cans of the Camp Perry ring range, just
off Niagara Reef, around Green Island, in the South Passage
between Mouse and Starve islands, northwest of North Bass
Island, southeast of Airport Reef off Kelleys Island and north-
east of Kelleys Island Shoal. Anglers trolling are using worm
harnesses with inline weights, divers or bottom-bouncers, as
well as spoons pulled behind divers; casters are using mayy
rigs or are drifting with bottom-bouncers and worm harnesses.
Smallmouth Bass: These are being caught around island
shorelines in less than 20 feet of water on tube jigs and also
crankbaits or jerkbaits.
Largemouth bass: These are being caught in harbors and
bays using crankbaits, spinner baits and soft plastics.
Central Basin
Walleye: Fishing has been good near Ruggles Reef, 1-5
miles offshore from Vermilion to Lorain, in 38-45 feet of water
off Cleveland, in 20 feet north of Fairport, in 30-40 feet north
of Geneva and in 40 feet north of Conneaut trolling worm har-
nesses and stick baits.
Yellow Perch: Anglers are catching sh in 34 feet north of
Bratenahl, in 35 feet northwest of Fairport Harbor and in 35-
48 feet northeast of Conneaut. Perch-spreaders with shiners
shed near the bottom have produced the most. Shore shing
has been spotty off the East 55th and East 72nd street piers in
Cleveland; shing has been good off the west pier of the Grand
River.
Smallmouth Bass: Fishing has been excellent in 15-25 feet
around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva,
Ashtabula and Conneaut using leeches, tube jigs and crank-
baits.
Channel Catsh: Fishing has been very good along the
Grand River using nightcrawlers and large chubs.
The Lake Erie water temperature is 61 off Toledo and 54 off
Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast.

CLEVELAND (AP) Corey Kluber
struck out 12 in 7 1-3 innings to continue
his dominant pitching in May, Asdrubal
Cabreras two-run homer broke a fth-
inning tie and the Cleveland Indians
beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Friday
night.
Kluber (6-3) gave up a two-run homer
to Carlos Gonzalez in the fourth inning,
but recorded his third double-gure
strikeout game this season. He ends the
month with a 4-0 record and a 2.09 ERA
in six starts.
Kluber, who struck out a career-high
13 on May 4 against the Chicago White
Sox, nished the month with 60 strike-
outs in 43 innings. The right-hander al-
lowed ve hits with one walk and was
given a standing ovation by the crowd of
25,066 when he was pulled after retiring
the rst batter in the eighth.
The Indians snapped a four-game los-
ing streak while the Rockies fell to 2-5 on
their nine-game trip.
Colorado didnt have a hit through
three innings, but Corey Dickerson led
off the fourth with a double and Gon-
zalez homered to right-center on an 0-1
pitch with one out.
Cleveland chased Juan Nicasio (5-3)
with a four-run fth. Michael Bourns
single tied the game before Cabreras
homer put Cleveland ahead. Lonnie
Chisenhall, who drove in two runs, add-
ed an RBI double.
Kluber struck out the side in the third.
He took control after Gonzalezs homer
in the fourth. Seven of the next nine outs
were strikeouts and he got Charlie Cul-
berson to bounce into a double play to
end the seventh.
David Murphy led off the Indians
fth with a double and took third when
center elder Charlie Blackmon robbed
Jesus Aguilar of an extra-base hit with a
leaping grab at the fence. Bourn singled
through a drawn-in ineld to tie the game
and Cabrera gave Cleveland the lead with
a homer to right.
Cody Allen pitched a perfect ninth for
his second save.
Gonzalez returned to the lineup after
not starting Wednesday because of a sore
right calf. Gonzalez fouled a pitch off his
leg Tuesday and left the game, and was
limited to pinch-hitting duties Wednes-
day. His home run snapped an 0-for-11
slump, but Colorado has 16 runs in the
rst seven games of the trip and is 5 for
51 with runners in scoring position.
The Rockies frustration boiled over
in the sixth when Michael Cuddyer was
called out on strikes by plate umpire John
Tumpane. Cuddyer angrily argued the
call before being pulled away. Rockies
manager Walt Weiss continued the argu-
ment and was ejected for the rst time in
his managerial career.
Jason Kipnis second-inning single
snapped an 0-for-15 slump. He returned
Wednesday after missing 25 games with
a strained right oblique.
NOTES: Rockies 3B Nolan Arenado
(broken nger) visited doctors at the
Cleveland Clinic, who conrmed the
diagnosis of Colorado team doctors that
he wont need surgery. The plan is to let
the nger heal on its own and theres no
timetable for his return. Indians 3B/C
Carlos Santana (concussion) said hes
feeling better, but doesnt know when
hell resume physical activities. He was
placed on the 7-day DL Tuesday.

PARIS (AP) In what seemed like a ash, and in what
surely felt like a ash of pain for his opponent, Roger Federer
went from vulnerable to commanding.
It was that quick.
Federer lost a second-set tiebreaker Friday to Dmitry Tur-
sunov, and that surely did not bode well for the 17-time Grand
Slam champion. Then Tursunov felt a split second of discom-
fort in his left hip.
And that was it.
Federer was back on track at the French Open, on his way
to a 7-5, 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-4 victory and into the second week of a
major tournament yet again.
Everything that was out of his control, like moving de-
fense, thats when it got difcult, said Federer, who advanced
to the fourth round at Roland Garros for the 10th straight year.
Clearly, on the clay, its difcult to hit three great shots in a
row. So I tried to extend the rallies, but serve nice and stay ag-
gressive throughout. And I think that was a bit too much for his
hip, or whatever it was.
It was something of an escape for Federer, who lost a set
for the rst time at this years tournament. Then again, Novak
Djokovic also lost a set Friday before advancing with a 6-3, 6-2,
6-7 (2), 6-4 win over 25th-seeded Marin Cilic.
With eight-time champion Rafael Nadal and 2013 nalist
David Ferrer perfect through their opening two matches, the
pressure is on the others to keep their level high.
It wasnt easy because once you start being passive, you
lose kind of the condence to step in, Djokovic said of his
win. Thats what happened maybe in the end of the third and
a little bit of the fourth.
Of course, thats nothing compared to the womens tour-
nament, where third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska followed
defending champion Serena Williams and Li Na out of the
tournament.
That leaves Simona Halep, who plays Saturday, as the
highest-seeded player in the draw at No. 4. It also leaves 2012
French Open champion Maria Sharapova as the favorite after
her 6-0, 6-0 rout Friday.
The woman who beat Williams, Garbine Muguruza of
Spain, also advanced to the fourth round.
Federer and Djokovic, though, were expected to win, and
they did. Tursunov, with an 0-4 record against Federer heading
into the match, wasnt, and he didnt.
Overall, the rst two sets I felt that it was a fairly even
battle out there, said Tursunov, who was broken only once in
the rst two sets. Its hard for me to predict, but denitely
playing on one leg is not going to make things easier. Tough
luck for me, but hopefully Ill get him somewhere else.
Federer takes control at French Open

MIAMI (AP) For the
entirety of the regular season,
the supremacy of the Miami
Heat in the Eastern Confer-
ence was brought into serious
question by the Indiana Pac-
ers.
Then came the playoffs.
And the question was an-
swered emphatically.
The Heat became the
third franchise in NBA his-
tory to reach the title series
in four consecutive seasons,
a laugher of a conference-title
nale getting them there again
Friday night. LeBron James
and Chris Bosh each scored
25 points, and Miami elimi-
nated the Pacers for the third
straight year with a 117-92
romp in Game 6 of the East
championship series.
Dwyane Wade and Rashard
Lewis each scored 13 points
for Miami, which trailed 9-2
before ripping off 54 of the
next 75 points to erase any
doubt by halftime. The Heat
set a franchise record with
their 11th straight home post-
season win, going back to the
nal two games of last sea-
sons NBA Finals, leading by
37 at one point.
Indiana led the East for
much of the regular season,
one where the Pacers were
fueled by the memory of los-
ing Game 7 of the East -
nals in Miami a year ago. So
they spent this season with a
clear goal: Toppling Miami as
kings of the East.
The Pacers were two games
better in the regular season.
They were two games
worse in the postseason.
Game 7, this time, would have
been in Indianapolis. The Pac-
ers just had no shot of making
it happen, not on this night.
So now, the Celtics and
Lakers have some company.
Until Friday, they were
the only teams in NBA his-
tory to reach the Finals in four
straight years. The Heat have
joined them, and their quest
for a third straight title starts
in either San Antonio or Okla-
homa City on Thursday night.
The way they played in
Game 6 made a prophet out of
Bosh, who predicted Miami
would play its best game of
the season. The numbers sug-
gested he was right, and then
some.
Miamis largest lead at
any point this season, before
Game 6, was 36 points. Indi-
anas largest decit of the sea-
son had been 35 points.
After a layup by James
with 3:39 left in the third,
the margin in this one was a
whopping 37 86-49. James
night ended not long after-
ward.
There were the now-requi-
site Lance Stephenson events,
adding intrigue to the rst half.
The Pacers guard walked
over to James and tapped him
in the face in the opening min-
utes, stood over him after both
got tangled under the basket,
and got whistled for a agrant
foul for striking Norris Cole in
the head in the second quarter.
It was the end of a memo-
rable series for Stephenson,
none of which really had any-
thing to do with basketball.
His string of newsworthy mo-
ments from these East nals
started when he talked about
the health of Wades knees be-
fore the series and reached an
apex in Game 5 when he blew
into James ear and walked
into a Heat huddle.
The Heat were bothered by
it all, but got the last laugh.
Big Brother, again, reigned
supreme in this rivalry. And
when it was over, Stephenson
went out and shook hands
with plenty of Heat players, as
did the rest of his teammates.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel
was using the big brother-little
brother analogy earlier in the
series, telling the tale of how
at some point in every sibling
rivalry the younger one has to
make a stand.
Indiana thought it would
happen now.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) The Browns have a game plan to
manage Manzielmania this summer.
Expecting huge crowds to see rookie quarterback Johnny
Manziel compete with Brian Hoyer for the starting job, the
Browns want fans to register online to attend training camp.
Cleveland can accommodate only about 5,000 fans at its
facility. Browns President Alec Scheiner told The Associated
Press the team will ask fans to sign up beforehand so we dont
turn away 2,000 or 3,000 fans who just show up.
Scheiner said the team will announce when capacity is
reached, but fans can still come and wait to get in. The team is
working out nal details of the registration. Camp will remain
free.
Manziels arrival has created a buzz around the Browns,
who moved up in the rst round of the NFL draft to select the
celebrated Heisman Trophy winner who hangs out with rap-
per Drake and has NBA superstar LeBron James as a business
partner.
Scheiner said the Browns season-ticket base has grown by
more than 4,000 since Manziel was picked. His No. 2 jersey is
on store shelves in the Cleveland area and is already one of the
leagues top sellers before he has played in a game.
Manziel is currently behind Hoyer on the depth chart, and
theres no guarantee hell move up when the season starts. But
that wont stop fans from ocking to see Johnny Football, who
caused a stir last weekend by taking a trip to Las Vegas.
Manziel was in Los Angeles on Friday with 34 other rookies
to attend a rookie symposium run by the players union.
The Browns set attendance records at training camp last
year and Scheiner anticipates this years crowds to be a little
bit better.
Its exciting, and its fun, he said. Were getting better.
Scheiner, who spent eight years with the Dallas Cowboys
before he was hired by Cleveland after the 2012 season, said
the Browns have begun looking into moving their camp to a
college campus. The team previously trained at Bowling Green
(1946-51), Hiram (1952-74), Kent State (1975-81) and Lakeland
Community College (1982-91) before holding camp in Berea,
the year-round training headquarters.
Scheiner points to the many challenges in moving training
camp, including transportation costs, getting practice elds up
to NFL specications as well as housing.
Well look at it, he said. If theres something that makes
sense, well look at it. If theres not, we wont. But were going
to start looking at it carefully.
If the Browns do move camp, Scheiner expects the new site
to be within driving distance of Cleveland.
Last year, the Browns drew 56,306 fans to their 13 open
practices at the training facility and a family night session at
FirstEnergy Stadium. They averaged 2,475 fans per practice in
Berea and set a one-day record of 4,466.
With Manziel in
camp, Browns look
to manage crush

Members of the Crestview track team were acknowledged on May 29, 2014
at their annual awards banquet. Athletes, along with their parents, met in the
Crestview auditeria for refreshments and a ceremony in which track athletes
were recognized for their accomplishments and honors. For the 2014 season,
the coaching staff accredited a number of athletes with special awards. Special
award winners include: Captain Awards: Scott Miller, Jacob Germann, Grace
Callow, Jamie Moore. Broken Records: (4x100m) - Isaiah Kline, Sage Schaffner,
Zack Jellison, Malcolm Oliver, (3200 m) Mycah Grandstaff. Top Point Earners:
Mycah Grandstaff, Grace Callow. Coaches Awards: Courtney Trigg, Jamie
Moore, Mycah Grandstaff, Michael Hansard, Moses Boroff. Pictured are the
Crestview Special Award recipients. (Photo submitted)
Knights celebrate track season
(From page B1)
The nal local competitor that moved on from the regionals
was Lincolnview junior Hunter Blankemeyer, who nipped
Spencervilles Anthony Schuh at the very end of their 110-me-
ter battle.
I ran 15.1 and was pretty close to my PR of 15.03. I ran
a pretty good race; my coaches tell me I have picture-perfect
form, Blankemeyer added. The one thing I know I can im-
prove on is my starts; I struggled getting out of the blocks
quick enough and I usually am trailing right off the bat. Im
fast enough to catch up at the end but if I can get better with
those, I have a chance at state.
(From page B1)
Crestview played in the state
semi-nals last season, but fell
to Newark Catholic 9-1. The
Knights only lost three team
members last year, all to grad-
uation, and will look to use
the experience as motivation.
Their foe, Tinora, also played
in the semi-nals a year ago
and lost to New Middletown
Springeld 13-7. This will be
the fourth year in a row that
Tinora has played in the state
tournament in Columbus.
You look at a team like
Tinora and this is their fourth
time theyve been down there,
but being back the second
time for us is huge, said
Coach Wharton. There is no
question we were in awe last
year with the atmosphere and
the surroundings, but hope-
fully we will be able to handle
them better this year.

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor
Recommended
Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had pain-
free feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New
York.
BENEFITS:
Increased blood flow and
oxygen
Reduced swelling and pain
Anti-microbial
Wicks away moisture
Increased range of motion
IDEALFOR:
Neuropathy
Raynaud's Syndrome
Cramping
Cold Feet
Tom from NJ reports, I suffer
from chronic foot cramps. My feet
were sore for days after the cramp-
ing. My wife gave me the Bam-
busa
TM
socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with Bambusa
TM
. My
feet feel great now.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo in-
crease blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved com-
fort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.

A dhi MEDIA publication CLASS/GEN Saturday, May 31 & Sunday, June 1, 2014 B7
CINCINNATI, Ohio Staffmark
announced it has been named as one
of Inaveros 2014 Best of Stafng
Client Award winners. Presented in
partnership with CareerBuilder, the
fth annual Best of Stafng Award
provides the only statistically valid
and objective service quality bench-
marks for the industry, revealing
which stafng agencies deliver the
highest quality of service to their cli-
ents. In a year when the stafng in-
dustrys client service quality scores
are trending down once again, the
Best of Stafng winners scored well
above industry service benchmarks.
Staffmark is one of the best stafng
agencies for companies to call when
they are looking to hire temporary or
permanent employees.
Less than two percent of all staff-
ing agencies in the U.S. and Canada
receive the Best of Stafng Award for
service excellence utilizing the Net
Promoter methodology. The stark
contrast in client satisfaction scores
compared to the industry average is
a clear indication that the rms who
have earned the 2014 Best of Stafng
Client Award truly stand out for their
service quality. Staffmark received
satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of
10 from 63.9 percent of their clients,
signicantly higher than the indus-
trys average of 35 percent.
Staffmarks goal is to be the best
partner possible to all of our custom-
ers by delivering outstanding ser-
vice, said Lesa Francis, Staffmarks
president and CEO. Being recog-
nized as a Best of Stafng winner
shows the commitment our team has
to exceeding our customers expec-
tations. We are proud and honored to
have been named to the Best of Staff-
ing list for the third year in a row,
and we look forward to continuing to
deliver solutions that positively im-
pact our customers business.
The stafng industry is helping
organizations bridge the skills gap and
add jobs today more than at any other
point in U.S. history, said Inavero
Founder and CEO, Eric Gregg. Be-
tween the well documented skills gaps
and economic uncertainty, partnering
with a top stafng agency is more im-
portant now than ever. The 2014 Best
of Stafng Award was earned by less
than 2 percent of the more than 12,000
stafng rms in the U.S. and Canada.
In an era of scarce qualied talent,
hard to ll positions, and ever-increas-
ing expectations, these agencies have
proven they have what it takes to de-
liver exceptional service to both clients
and job candidates. Were proud of the
accomplishments of our 2014 award
recipients.
Net Promoter, NPS, and Net
Promoter Score are trademarks of
Satmetrix Systems, Inc., Bain &
Company, and Fred Reichheld. Net
Promoter Score is calculated by tak-
ing the percentage of respondents
who, on a scale of 0 to 10, rate their
likelihood to recommend the staff-
ing agency with a score of 9 or 10
(promoters) and subtracting the per-
centage who rate the stafng agency
a 6 or lower (detractors).
Staffmark is one of the top com-
mercial stafng companies in the
United States, and has been in busi-
ness over 40 years. Recognized for
its outstanding customer service,
Staffmark has been named Best of
Stafng for 2012, 2013, and 2014.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio,
Staffmark operates over 280 loca-
tions, providing stafng solutions
across a comprehensive range of dis-
ciplines. In 2011, Staffmark became
a part of Recruit Co., Ltd. To nd out
more about Staffmark, please go to
staffmark.com. For more informa-
tion on Recruit, visit recruit-rgf.com.
Inavero administers more staff-
ing agency client and talent satisfac-
tion surveys than any other rm in
the world. Inaveros team reports on
satisfaction surveys from more than
500,000 stafng agency clients and
talent each year and the company
serves as the American Stafng As-
sociations exclusive service quality
partner.
Inaveros Best of Stafng is the
nations only award that recognizes
stafng agencies that receive re-
markable reviews from their clients
and the people they help nd jobs
(employed talent). Bestofstafng.
com is the central place that busi-
nesses and talent go to nd the best
stafng agencies to call when they
are in need.
Staffmark wins Inaveros 2014 Best of Stafng Client award

DEAR ABBY: Im 20 years
old. My boyfriend and I dont
drink. Almost every person
my age does, and its starting
to get to me. Id love to have
friends besides my boyfriend I
can hang out with, but I nd
that I only connect with him
because everyone else always
wants to go out and party. He
is an introvert, so the seclusion
doesnt bother him. I, on the
other hand, am greatly both-
ered by it.
I have always been ahead
of the curve in terms of people
my age. I have more in com-
mon with 30-year-olds than
people in college. Unfortu-
nately, I would feel weird
spending time with 30-year-
olds, and Im sure theyd feel
the same about spending time
with me. Most of my spare
time is spent with my family.
They just seem to get me. How
can I nd people my age who
think the way I do? I dont
want to be the kind of girl
who only spends time with her
boyfriend. I would appreciate
other relationships. LIZ IN
NEW JERSEY
DEAR LIZ: I agree that
its time to expand your circle
of acquaintances. Thats why
Im advising you to join a gym
or some other physical activ-
ity group and start meeting
people who are involved in
physical tness. None of the
ones I know want to spend
their time drinking and par-
tying because they are more
interested in eating and living
healthfully. Im sure if you try
it, you will meet others who
think the way you do.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I am 15,
and all of my friends my age
and a grade lower have their
belly buttons pierced. I have
been asking my mom for a
very long time and she doesnt
have a problem with it, but
my dad does. He wont let me
get it done because he doesnt
want me looking like trash
at this age. I dont want it to
impress boys; I want it for my
own beauty and to look good
with a cute jewel to go with
my summer outts or bathing
suits. They said to ask you if
you think its wrong to have a
belly button pierced at the age
of 15. Is it wrong? KYLIE
IN WASHINGTON
DEAR KYLIE: I dont
think that having a belly but-
ton pierced is a question of
right or wrong. I suspect that
your fathers objection and
Im not sure I disagree with
him is that he would pre-
fer you make an impression
by attracting attention in some
other way. Im suggesting you
hold off for now and have it
done when youre older
providing you havent changed
your mind by then.

DEAR ABBY: 1. What do
you call a person who is nei-

owl? (Thats me.)
2. What do you call some-
one who is neither a giver nor
a taker? (Thats me, too.) Your
answers will help me win a
delicious meal! INQUISI-
TIVE IN OTTAWA
DEAR INQUISITIVE: A
person who is neither a lark
nor a night owl is called a
robin. Someone who is neither
a giver nor a taker is probably
a loner.

Refusal to drink makes woman feel out of step with peers
Dear Heloise: My family and I are having a
little disagreement on whether it is safe to give
dogs leftover meat bones. Could you help clear
up the confusion and let us know if it is safe?
A Reader in Pennsylvania
I can help. The simple answer is that it is
NOT safe to
give your dogs
leftover meat
bones. Accord-
ing to the Food
and Drug Ad-
mi ni st r at i on,
there are many
potential haz-
ards no mat-
ter how small
or what type
of meat bone it is.
These can include broken teeth, cuts to the
mouth and tongue, or the bone could become
stuck or lodged in the esophagus, stomach or
intestines, etc.
These all are costly xes, if not life-threat-
ening injuries. Be safe and never give your dog
leftover meat bones. After a meal that includes
leftover bones, be sure to dispose of them right
away and in a trash can that your dog cannot
get into. The FDA also suggests talking to your
veterinarian about alternatives to bones, and to
always supervise your dog when giving any
new chew or toy! Heloise

REMOVING DYE
Dear Heloise: Help! I dye my hair every
couple of months and always end up with some
dye left on my hands. What can I use to remove
it? Stacy P. in Colorado
Dont worry, because I do have a couple of
hints for you! First, take some lime or lemon
juice and rub it all over your hands. Give it time
to sit on the skin, because the citric acid will
work naturally to bleach the areas, then gently
scrub the skin and nails with a nailbrush.
Or, mix salt and some vinegar (white or
cider) to make a scrub. Rub over your hand.
With both methods, rinse well and be sure to
use some type of moisturizer afterward.
Vinegar is so helpful I keep it in my
kitchen and bathroom. I also have my He-
loises Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More
pamphlet, containing additional hints and
recipes. To order one, send $5 and a long, self-
addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: He-
loise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio,
TX 78279-5001.
You also can use apple-cider vinegar to
wash your hands after working with sh or
onions! Heloise
WIPE DOWN
Dear Heloise: After a run at the dog park,
our dog is dusty, sweaty and covered with lots
of dog spit. As soon as we get home, my hus-
band uses baby wipes to rub her down all over,
including her ears. She smells good and is
clean. They work wonders. Susan B., Dana
