Kaverman 2nd in poker world championship

By Anne Coburn-Griffis Sentinel Editor agriffis@putnamsentinel.com FORT JENNINGS It was the summer of Byron Kavermans senior year at Fort Jennings High School that he learned to play poker while visiting a friends lakeside home. After that, he honed his game in friends basements around town as well as in many hands of Texas Hold em in the Kaverman basement. Kaverman was also an All-American soccer player. After his 2005 graduation from high school, he went to Tiffin University on scholarship, playing soccer for the college and majoring in psychology. He continued with poker online. According to his younger brother, Nolan Kaverman, that was Byrons way of earning money during college. In his fourth year of college, cards and chips became the tools of his trade as he began a career as a professional poker player. Perhaps Kavermans major helped him hone his particular style, poker face, if you will. He said its all mathematics and psychology, reported his grandmother, Helen Kaverman. Most recently, Kaverman was

one of 328 players to compete April 21-26 in the World Poker Tour World Championship in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Nolan, a couple of friends and his parents, Bill and Jeri Kaverman, were on hand to watch Kaverman play for the win. They made the trip from Fort Jennings after Byron called home Friday evening at supper time to tell them he was going to the final table on Saturday afternoon. That tournament wrapped up with Kaverman coming in second to Kevin Stammen. See BLUFF, page 10

Library rolls out new app

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Library patrons can download a new app for their Androids and iPhones. BookMyne lets users search the Delphos Public Librarys catalogue, place holds on available materials, log into their account and renew checked-out items, get reading recommendations and scan barcodes for availability. Library Director Kelly Rist introduced the new app to the librarys Board of Trustees Wednesday afternoon during an early May meeting. The app is available at the App Store or on Google play. Rist reported the Middle and High School Art Exhibition was well done and items will remain on display until May 21. We brought in quite a few people who had never visited the library and had several schools contact us to participate next year, she said. National Library Week April 14-18 was also wellreceived with the library giving out reusable library bags and forgiving $93.50 in fines. Trustees got a preliminary view of the Summer Reading Program. This years theme for toddlers and grade-schooler is Fizz, Boom, Read. Spark a Reaction is set for teens and adult programs will fall under Literary Elements. Toddlers through teens will enjoy special weekly programming and special activities for six weeks starting June 10. More information will be available at a later date. Rist also reported circulation to-date was up 4,679 from 2013 with monthly circulation up 872, average daily circulation up 82 and the largest daily circulation up 44. The library was also open one day less than April 2013 and saw a dramatic decrease in items loaned through the Interlibrary Loan system. In April 2013, the library loaned 6,844 items but only 3,207 last month. The number of items borrowed was up from three in April 2013 to 31.

69 percent of school tax issues approved Tuesday

Information submitted COLUMBUS Voters across Ohio approved 102 of 148 school tax issues during the May 6 primary election. It is still an uphill battle to secure voter approval for new or additional money requests, said Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Director of Legislative Services Damon Asbury. But districts are most likely to be supported when asking for existing levies to be renewed or replaced. Sixty-nine percent of school tax issues were approved by voters on Tuesday, a rate fairly consistent with previous years. Ohio voters approved 82 of 137 school tax issues in May 2013, a passage rate of 60 percent. Twenty-seven of 65 new school tax issues were approved on Tuesday, a passage rate of a little over 40 percent. Voters approved 75 of 83 renewal school tax issues on the ballot, a 90 percent passage rate. School districts continue to struggle with getting voters to approve new money, said OSBA Executive Director Richard Lewis. But the high success rate on renewal levies signals a vote of confidence from communities and attests to the great job Ohio public schools are doing under challenging economic conditions. Faced with funding challenges, declining revenues and a difficult economy, many school districts are

cluded nearly two years ago. Other studies have shown links between BPA exposure and a variety of human health problems including erectile dysfunction, breast cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Another big hurdle to a safer, greener food system is our increasing reliance on antibiotics to fight bacterial infections in livestock. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has known since the 1970s that feeding large amounts of antibiotics to healthy livestock breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria, which can in turn render many of the antibiotics used for humans ineffective. In fact, antibiotic resistant infections are already killing 23,000 Americans each year. A 2012 FDA policy change calls on livestock producers to refrain from using antibiotics to boost growth rates for pigs, cows, sheep and chickens, but it remains to be seen if the industry will toe the line or use loopholes to keep up the steady stream of antibiotics. PANNA is one of many voices demanding an overhaul of how the FDA regulates our food supply. We all want to believe that government agencies are protecting us and our food supply from chemical contaminantsbut they are not, reports the group. They do not have the regulatory framework to do so. The group would like to see the U.S. trade-in its policy that treats chemicals as innocent until proven guilty for something akin to Europes regulatory system, where a health-protective precautionary approach dictates which chemicals are approved for widespread use.

being forced to turn more and more to their local communities for support. The more than 30 percent of Ohio schools that were unsuccessful on the ballot Tuesday will likely be forced to make difficult budget decisions, including new rounds of cuts. Election results are complete, but have not been officially certified by the Ohio secretary of state. Several issues may need to go through a recount, so their outcome could change.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: What would you consider to be the key areas we need to improve to make our food safer for our health and easier on our environment? Billy A., Oakland, CA Although we have come a long way in recent years with regard to the safety and sustainability of our food supply, we still have a long way to go. Toxic pesticides are still used on the vast majority of U.S. grown crops, while other hormone-disrupting chemicals are omnipresent in our food packaging. And excessive use of antibiotics in animal agriculture threatens to render many human drugs ineffective. Environmental leaders would like to see the federal government step up and institute regulations banning such substances in our food supply, but for now its still up to individual consumers to make the right choices. Fruits and vegetables grown on conventional (i.e. not organic) farms make up some 96 percent of the produce we eatand expose us to many pesticides. Two of the most toxic, chlorpyrifoss and DDT, are also quite common: 93 percent of Americans carry trace amounts of the former in their bloodstreams, while 99 percent of us have DDT residue coursing through our veins. These chemicals on our food can be harmful to adults, but health experts are even more concerned about what they are doing to our kids. The non-profit Pesticide Action Network of North America (PANNA) points to recent studies showing that children with high pesticide exposures in the womb are at increased risk of being born with birth defects and are much more likely to encounter developmental delays, ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. A related issue is the hormone-disrupting bisphenol-A (BPA) in our food supply as a result of its widespread use in the lining of cans and other food and drink containers. Nearly every person in America has some BPA in his or her body, reports the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a leading green group. And yet, this foodpackaging chemical may cause problems in developing fetuses, infants and children by altering behavior and increasing the risk of prostate cancer, as a government report con-

Green groups like the Pesticide Action Network of North America (PANNA) would like to see the U.S. trade-in its policy that treats chemicals as innocent until proven guilty for something akin to Europes regulatory system, where a health-protective precautionary approach dictates which chemicals are approved for widespread use.

Senate panel makes alternative energy changes

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios alternative energy targets would be put on hold for two years as a legislative panel studies their impact under a compromise accepted Wednesday on a closely watched Senate bill. The mandates for state utilities to use energy sources including solar, wind and biofuels have been hotly debated since Ohio put them in place in 2008. Legislation revising the standards appears poised to move quickly through the Statehouse this week. Proponents say such targets promote environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels and create high-tech jobs in the growing alternative-energy sector. Opponents contend they drive up prices for average electric consumers who have been given little choice in the matter. Responding to broad criticism, including from the Kasich administration, the Senate Public Utilities Committee said Wednesday it was again backing off efforts to effectively repeal the mandates through a permanent moratorium. Various earlier attempts to turn back the requirements have also failed.

Nutrient levels important to remember, maintain

JAMES HOORMAN Putnam County Extension Ag Educator The following article was written by Ed Lentz and Steve Culman, our new Soil Fertility Extension specialist who replaced Dr. Robert Mullen. (Lentz and Culman, CORN newsletter, 2014-11) Boron, chloride, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc are called micronutrients or trace elements, needed only in extremely small amounts for crop production. Calcium, magnesium and sulfur are called secondary nutrients since the crop needs larger amounts for production compared to micronutrients but considerably less than the primary nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium called macronutrients. Most Ohio soils have adequate amounts of micronutrients for corn production. They also generally have adequate secondary nutrients if proper pH has been maintained with lime and the soil is not sandy with low organic matter. Soil temperature and moisture are important factors. Cool, wet soils reduce the rate and amount of micronutrients that may be taken up by crops. As soil pH increases, the availability of micronutrients decreases, with the exception of molybdenum. See NUTRIENT, page 10

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting 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!
Thermographic Imaging
Without Wearing BambusaTM sock After Wearing BambusaTM sock What part of your swollen, tired, or achy feet would you like to see go-away? If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition 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-boosting sock, called BambusaTM. 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 BambusaTM sock. This special micro-fiber thread is made from revolutionary bamboo charcoal to stimulate blood flow andrevitalize feet. When this material comes in contact 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 revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,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 fatigued! Therapy Without A Prescription! When the socks were photographed using a thermographic imaging camera, results showed up to a 17% to 22% increase in blood flow. This helped to improvemuscle 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. Infrared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.

Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase 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 comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and less numbness. "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 cellular health and vitality. I use the Bambusa product myself and recommend 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 exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. 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 BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they dont restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion 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 BambusaTM socks, says Nancy, from NJ. They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet. Goodbye to Pain and Numbness Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed 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 painfree 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 cramping. My wife gave me the BambusaTM socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with BambusaTM. My feet feel great now.

Wildcats capture PHAALS game over Jays

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to control muscle movement is lost. Patients in the later stages of ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease) may become totally paralyzed and die. The Playing Hardball Against ALS Foundation was founded locally in 2012 to help patients and families stricken with this terrible disease. Baseball games all over Northwest Ohio are played to help raise funds to help find a cure. The two Delphos teams met up at Wildcat Field (Jefferson High School) on Wednesday evening in the second annual PHAALS game that was rescheduled from an April 3rd rainout. The Wildcats wore special ALS uniforms and beat their crosstown rivals 12-7. This was a fun game tonight with our kids facing kids they grew up with in Little and Pony leagues. And its a game for a good cause, said Wildcat Coach Doug Geary. The visiting Blue Jays kicked off the scoring in the first inning after Ben Wrasman walked and Austin Heiing was hit by a Austin Jettinghoff pitch. T.J. Hoersten advanced both runners with a sacrifice bunt for the first out. After a strikeout of Jesse

Musketeers slug Bulldogs

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Every baseball team is looking toward Saturday and the beginning of the second season. At the same time, they are trying to set up Their rotations as well as deal with those rotations being stretched. The Fort Jennings pitching staff had the better of that on a gorgeous and breezy Wednesday afternoon at Fort Jennings Village Park, slapping Ada 13-5 in nonleague baseball action. We scored in every inning. That is good to see, Jennings coach Eric Schwab noted. We have been hitting the ball better lately; hopefully, we can continue that trend. Ada coach Jason Campbell knew it would be a toughy day for his staff. Every team is going through this right now: for us, its a string of eight games in nine days, he explained. This was the third appearance in that string for our starter (freshman Seth Evans) and we were hoping for three innings at best. Even so, you have to throw strikes, no matter how tired you are. Walks, hit batters and

Jefferson senior Ross Thompson gloves a throw at first to get St. Johns junior Austin Heiing during the PHAALS game Wednesday at Wildcat Field. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) Ditto, Kyle Pohlman hit the first home run of the season for the Jays over the fence as the Blue Jays led 3-0. The Wildcats came right back as Hunter Binkley and Ross Thompson reached with 1-out singles. St. Johns starting pitcher Eric Vogt retired Jettinghoff on a popout for the second out but junior Gaige Rassman, playing in only his third game since coming back from injury, singled to left field. On the play, Binkley scored after he was trapped in a pickle play after St. Johns dropped the ball and Thompson alertly advanced to third. A wild pitch by Vogt scored Thompson and the Wildcats were right back in the game, trailing 3-2. See WILDCATS, page 7

errors really cost us today. Ada (4-14) had a chance to go up in the top of the first against Musketeer starter Alex Vetter (W; 4-plus innings, 8 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts; 69 pitches, 44 strikes) on back-toback singles by Brayden Sautter (steal and error) and Connor English (steal) with one down. Slade Downing flied out to left and Sautter tagged and scored. However, on appeal, he was called out for leaving early, leaving the score at 0-0. The Musketeers (8-14) out up four in the home half against Evans (3 IPs, 7 hits, 9 runs, 6 ERs, 4 BBs, 2 Ks; 90 pitches, 51 strikes). Connor Wallenhorst walked and stole second. Dylan Van Loo walked and Mark Metzger (3-for-5, 3 runs, 3 runs batted in) singled to load them up. Ryan Raus bounceout plated Wallenhorst, advancing the other runners. Vetter walked to reload them. Caleb Bankey flied to deep enough center to plate Van Loo; when the ball was dropped, he was safe. Jared Hoersten flied out to center to score Metzger. Back-to-back free passes to Josh Wittler and Bret Clay scored Vetter for a 4-0 edge.

By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com Have we truly seen the last of winter? I an holding my breath, crossing my fingers, picking out all the four-leaf clovers I can find scratch that knocking on wood, steel, concrete, what is near; holding my lucky rabbits foot (not so lucky for him or her, however!!) and turning my horseshoe right-side up. We have been teased a little bit earlier this spring with a couple of days of gorgeous weather before Old Man Winter or at least his cousin made a reappearance. I am sure the boys and girls athletes we have in the Tri-County area heck, any athlete in any area are much appreciative. They dont have to get warmed up extra, extra did I write extra? more so as not to pull a muscle running a 100-meter dash or feel the bitter sting of swinging the bat on a cold, windy, damp and chilly day though I have seen a few of our youngsters brave the conditions and not wear long-

sleeve shirts. You can look at it one of two ways. Either they are truly brave you know, with the mind over matter, youre only as cold as you think you are mentality that has some legitimacy or they are a bit crazy on the good side. Maybe its both. I do remember being able to take the cold weather a lot better even a few years ago than I can now, so I figure when you are in your teens, your body is more equipped remember, they generally have a lot better metabolism than an old (ahem) not-so-old goof like me. Now, I dont recommend diving into your local pond or outdoor pool yet for those that have such luxuries and have them uncovered but you can at least get the swimming trunks out and see if they still fit. Uggh. Then there is the New National Holiday the NFL Draft coming this weekend. I know I have registered this complaint before but I am hoping that my legions of fans in the Commissioners office and in the owners boxes heh heh will listen and return this now 3-day affair back to the one day. Its awful hard to have a Draft Day party for three days, you know what I mean? Oh, well, I can only hope that for once, TV wont rule the day. And the sky is falling, too.

Bearcats come up short against Lancers By KEVIN WANNEMACHER DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com RURAL MIDDLE POINT In a preview of Mondays sectional battle, Lincolnview and Spencerville hooked up in Northwest Conference softball action Wednesday evening at the home of the Lady Lancers. Spencerville rallied from an early deficit but couldnt hold on as the host Lancers scored three runs late in the game for a 5-3 win over the Lady Bearcats. With the win, the blue and gold moves to 10-11 overall and 5-2 in the NWC while Spencerville is also 10-11 in all games but stands 2-6 in the league. It was a good win for the blue and gold, who look to build some momentum heading into the tourney next week. We have put things together a little better here the last few games, noted Lancer head coach Kent McClure. We played better against Bluffton earlier this week and then tonight I thought we had another good effort. Hopefully, we can carry this forward and build on it tomorrow night too. Lincolnview pitcher Ashley McClure was dominant the first three innings, setting the Bearcats down in order in each frame. Spencerville hurler Alex Shumate matched McClure pitch for pitch the first two innings before the hosts broke through in the third. Autumn Proctor led off the third with a single

Local Roundup
before Shumate got Macey Ashbaugh to strike out for the first out. Julia Thatcher then followed with a bunt single to put runners at the corners before Proctor scored and Thatcher moved to second on a throwing error by Spencerville shortstop Megan Miller. After Thatcher stole third, Bailey Neate grounded out to Shumate but Thatcher scored for a 2-0 Lancer advantage. We took advantage of opportunities tonight, added the Lancer mentor. The girls have started hitting the ball better and more consistently and they have done a good job of manufacturing runs. The lady Bearcats answered in the top of the fourth. With one out, Kenzie Ringwald singled and Haleigh Mull reached on a Neate error to put runners at first and second. Tori Johnston followed with a double that scored Ringwald to get Spencerville within 2-1 and moved Mull to third. Mull would later score on a passed ball as the visitors knotted the score at 2-2 heading into the bottom of the fourth. Spencerville took its only lead of the night in the fifth. Miller led off the inning with a single before Maddie Hollar struck out. Tiffany Work followed with a runscoring triple to put the Bearcats in front 3-2. They are a very good hitting team and they showed that tonight, commented the Lincolnview head coach. In the home half of the inning, Macey Ashbaugh walked with one out and Thatcher followed with a double to move Ashbaugh to third. After Neate walked to load the bases, Devann Springer reached on an error by Bearcat shortstop Destiny Price that allowed both Ashbaugh and Thatcher to score. The Bearcats escaped further damage as Shumate got Macala Ashbaugh to fly out before Ashley McClure groundout to end the inning with the Lancers in front 4-3. It was a big momentum swing to answer their run by getting back in the lead, stated the elder McClure. The girls did a good job of responding to the challenge. Lincolnview added another run in the sixth. Kelsey Mohr doubled to start the inning, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Thatcher to push the margin to 5-3. The Bearcats would make things interesting in the seventh, though. Shumate singled but was forced out at second by Alix Hamrick. With one out, Hamrick moved to second on a wild pitch before Hollar struck out for the second out. After Work was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second, Ringwald flew out to Proctor in center field to end the contest. Its good to get the win but the next time will be another good game between us, stated Lincolnviews mentor. They didnt throw their best pitcher against us so we know it will be a challenge.

(Continued from page 6) The hosts made it 5-0 in the home second on a 1-out error on a Metzger grounder, a 2-out steal and a ground single in left by Vetter. Ada made it a 5-2 deficit in the top of the third with two outs, using a walk (Sautter), a steal, a run-scoring hit (English), two steals and a throwing error, scoring English. The Bulldogs got two back in the fourth on four knocks, including run-scorers by Cort Everhart (Cory Kellum) and Seth Evans (Everhart). The Musketeers doubled that in the home half to lead 9-4. Clay walked and a balk moved him up. Wallenhorst beat out bunt to short to put runners on the corners and swiped second. An out later, Metzger slugged a 2-run double to deep left. Rau hit a sinking liner for a hit to center and stole second. An out later, a wild pitch plated Metzger and Rau scored from third on a Bankey grounder into center. Ada got its final tally in the fifth on a hit (Slade Downing), a hit batter (Steven Gray) finishing Vetter and bringing in Alex Sealts (3 IPs, 1 BB, 4 Ks) a 1-out walk and a sacrifice fly by Everhart. The hosts made it 12-5 in the home half on a leadoff single (Bankey), a walk to Jared Hoersten, a hit to left by pinchhitter Kyle Hellman and a forceout at second by pinch-hitter Austin Liebrecht. Jennings accounted for the 13-5 tally in the bottom of the sixth. Connor Stechschulte dou-

We didnt make a lot of errors today and we played pretty well there. We stayed focused, Schwab added. We just have to eliminate the mistakes that cause our pitchers to have to throw extra pitches. Those are the ones that we struggle with. Ada returns to the dirt tonight at home versus Jefferson: Jennings visits Continental Friday.

Roundup

After Jettinghoff retired St. Johns in order in the top half of the second inning, the Wildcats plated six more runs to take the lead. Tyler Rice led off the inning with a hit to left field and moved all the way to third on consecutive wild pitches. Nick Fitch walked to put runners on the corners and Josh Temans single drove home Rice to tie the game. Jace Stockwell and Binkley both walked to load the bases. Thompson, playing his last regular-season home game, delighted the Wildcat faithful with a RBI single to score Teman and Stockwell. Jettinghoff walked to reload the bases and chase Vogt from the game. The southpaw Heiing was called in by coach Ryan Warnecke and struck out Rassman for the first out of the inning. Another senior, Jordan Herron, came through with big hit to drive in two more runs. Heiing retired the next two batters to end the scoring with the Wildcats leading 8-3. Jettinghoff and Heiing both cruised through the opposing lineups in the third inning as the score remained the same on the Wildcat Field scoreboard. Geary made a pitching change to start the fourth inning as he brought in Teman. We had Austin on a pitch count tonight and it was time to make a change, explained Geary. We have a stretch of nine games in nine days and we need to save our arms. Plus with sectionals starting on Saturday, we need to line up our starting rotation. Gage Seffernick reached with one out with a walk and J.R. Keirns followed with a single to center. Teman got Andy May to fly out but Wrasman scorched a triple to drive in both Jays to cut the lead down to 8-5. Heiing retired Jefferson in order in the fourth as did Teman in the next inning, aided by a double play turned by the Wildcat fielders after Hoersten walked. Jefferson senior Zavier Buzard made his first plate appearance of the year, returning after off-season shoulder surgery, appropriately on senior night. Heiing struck out Buzard and Teman but Stockwell kept the inning alive with a single. Binkley walked and Thompson ripped a triple to the fence for his third and fourth runs batted in of the game. Seffernick got into scoring position for St. Johns, smacking a double with one out in the top of the sixth. Teman helped himself with a quick pickoff move back to the bag to nail Seffernick and the Jays still trailed 10-5. Jefferson added a pair of runs in bottom of the inning on singles by Herron and Stockwell and aided by two errors by the St. Johns defense for a command-

ing 12-5 lead. Wrasman reached for the third time in the game with a single to right. The Blue Jays probably would like to play more games on the Wildcat Field as Hoersten cracked his first home run of the season (and second of the game for the Jays). Teman ended the game with a strikeout as the Wildcats improved to 14-10. After the game, Coach Warnecke was happy with his offense. It was nice to see some runs up on the scoreboard for a change. Its been a long time since we scored that many runs but its too bad we couldnt hold Jefferson to fewer runs. Coach Geary was also pleased with his teams offense: We had a .250 batting average coming into the game and we took advantage of some timely hits and mistakes by a young team. We gave up a couple home runs when our pitchers got the ball up but luckily we scored enough to offset those mistakes. The Wildcats outhit the Blue Jays 12-7 as Thompson and Stockwell each had three. The freshman Binkley also scored three times for the Wildcats. Wrasman and Hoersten led the St. Johns team with two hit sapiece with each getting extra base hits (Wrasman triple and Hoerstens homer). Jefferson visits Ada today and St. Johns visits Wayne Trace.

climate rules cant Fear of economic blow as Obama wait til after election births drop around world
NEW YORK (AP) Nancy Strumwasser, a high school teacher from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, always thought shed have two children. But the layoffs that swept over the U.S. economy around the time her son was born six years ago helped change her mind. Though she and her husband, a market researcher, managed to keep their jobs, she fears they wont be so fortunate next time. After we had a kid in 2009, I thought, This is not happening again, says Strumwasser, 41, adding, I never really felt comfortable about jobs, how solid they can be. The 2008 financial crisis did more than wipe out billions in wealth and millions of jobs. It also sent birth rates tumbling around the world as couples found themselves too short of money or too fearful about their finances to have children. Six years later, birth rates havent bounced back. For those who fear an overcrowded planet, this is good news. For the economy, not so good. We tend to think economic growth comes from working harder and smarter. But economists attribute up to a third of it to more people joining the workforce each year than leaving it. The result is more producing, earning and spending. Now this secret fuel of the economy, rarely missing and little noticed, is running out. For the first time since World War II, were no longer getting a tailwind, says Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist at BlackRock, the worlds largest money manager. Youre going to create fewer jobs. All else equal, wage growth will be slower. Births are falling in China, Japan, the United States, Germany, Italy and nearly all other European countries. Studies have shown that births drop when unemployment rises, such as during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Birth rates have fallen the most in some regions that were hardest hit by the financial crisis. In the United States, three-quarters of people surveyed by Gallup last year said the main reason couples werent having more children was a lack of money or fear of the economy. The trend emerges as a gauge of future economic health the growth in the pool of potential workers, ages 20-64 is signaling trouble ahead. This labor pool had expanded for decades, thanks to the vast generation of baby boomers. Now the boomers are retiring, and there are barely enough new workers to replace them, let alone add to their numbers. WASHINGTON (AP) Within weeks, President Barack Obamas administration is set to unveil unprecedented emissions limits on power plants across the U.S., much to the dismay of many Democratic candidates who are running for election in energy-producing states. Fearful of a political backlash, they wish their fellow Democrat in the White House would hold off until after the voting. But Obama cant wait that long. Unlike the Keystone XL oil pipeline, whose review the administration has delayed, probably until after Novembers elections, the clock is ticking for the power plant rules the cornerstone of Obamas campaign to curb climate change. Unless he starts now, the rules wont be in place before he leaves office, making it easier for his successor to stop them.

Feds issue emergency order on crude oil trains

WASHINGTON (AP) The Transportation Department issued an emergency order Wednesday requiring that railroads inform state emergency management officials about the movement of large shipments of crude oil through their states and urged shippers not to use older model tanks cars that are easily ruptured in accidents, even at slow speeds. The emergency order requires that each railroad operating trains containing more than 1 million gallons of crude oil the equivalent of about 35 tank cars from the booming Bakken region of North Dakota, Montana and parts of Canada provide information on the trains expected movement, including frequency and county-bycounty routes, to the states they traverse. The order also requires that railroads disclose the volume of oil being transported and how emergency responders can contact at least one responsible party at the railroad. Much of the oil from the region is being shipped across the U.S. and Canada in trains of 100 cars or more that accident investigators have described as moving pipelines. The trains traverse small towns and big cities alike. Local and state officials, fire chiefs and other emergency responders have complained that they often have no information on the contents of the freight trains moving through communities and their schedules. Nor are they able to force railroads to provide that information, they say. The department also issued a safety advisory urging shippers to use the most protective type of tank car in their fleets when shipping oil from the Bakken region. The order recommended that to the extent possible shippers not use older model tank cars known as DOT-

Nutrient

111s. Accident investigators report the cars have ruptured or punctured, spilling their contents, even in accidents that occurred at speeds under 30 mph. The tank cars are generally owned by or leased to oil companies that ship the crude, not the railroads. The emergency order follows a warning two weeks ago from outgoing National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman that the department risks a higher body count as the result of fiery oil train accidents if it waits for new safety regulations to become final.

Bluff

So even though the action could bolster Republican attacks against some of this years most vulnerable Democrats, the administration is proceeding at full speed. Obamas counselor on climate issues, John Podesta, affirmed that the proposal will be unveiled in early June just as this years general election is heating up. Having this debate now will only injure Democrats, said Hank Sheinkopf, a longtime Democratic strategist. Democrats are in trouble. The best thing when youre in trouble is to avoid further controversy. To be sure, Americans generally support cutting pollution. A Pew Research Center poll late last year found 65 percent of Americans favor setting stricter emission limits on power plants in order to address climate change, while 30 percent were opposed.

Zinc may be needed for corn production on high pH soils and low soil test zinc levels. Soil pH generally needs to be above 6.6 and the soil test zinc levels below 4 ppm before a yield response would be expected from additional zinc. Zinc rates may be found in the Tri-state Fertilizer Recommendations for Corn, Soybeans, Wheat & Alfalfa (ohioline.osu.edu/e2567/ index.html). Corn may respond to supplemental sulfur on sandy soils low in organic matter. Research has NOT shown a yield response to supplemental sulfur applied to fine-medium (claysilt) textured soils with organic matter above 2 percent. Sulfur is a component of several enzymes that regulate photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. The vast majority of sulfur is converted to available mineral form by the action of soil microorganisms. Ammonium sulfate and calcium sulfate (gypsum) are often used as sources for sulfur or even potassium sulfate (0-0-50). Moderate applications of animal manure or compost will generally result in adequate soil sulfur levels. Generally lime will meet the need for any calcium or magnesium. However, there have been cases of magnesium deficiencies in soils where a producer has used only hi-cal lime exclusively for a long period of time, particularly on lower CEC (sandy) soils. Magnesium and phosphorus together control plant metabolism. Magnesium is the center atom in chlorophyll, a vital substance for maximizing photosynthesis. If magnesium levels are low and lime is required, dolomitic lime (rich in Mg) will be recommended. If Mg is low and lime is not required, Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) may be recommended. For the other micronutrients, there has been no documented reason for using them in a fertilizer program for corn

production on most mineral soils in Ohio. In recent years the industry has been talking about boron. Boron started to appear when the corn prices were high. Ohio has not had a history of boron deficiency nor have we seen any private or public Ohio research showing yield responses to boron. There is no evidence or reason to believe that the nutritional needs of modern hybrids have changed so much that the soil cannot still provide adequate levels of boron. Alfalfa grown on sandy or weathered, low organic matter soils is the only crop in our area that research has shown a response to boron fertilizer. If a micronutrient is needed, a starter band is probably the most efficient way of getting that nutrient to the plant. However if micronutrient deficiency has never been identified or confirmed for a field, then a micronutrient package is likely unnecessary. Also, keep in mind, if you did not need a particular micronutrient before the period of higher corn prices, you probably do not need them now. There are certain conditions where a micronutrient in a starter may provide an economic gain, which were discussed above. However, if that condition, situation, or soil type does not exist in your field, adding the micronutrient will not improve your bottom line and the money may be better spent in other areas of your farm operation. Keeping nutrients levels in balance is an important concept to remember. When one nutrient level gets too high, it tends to tie up other nutrients. For example, high phosphorus levels tend to tie up zinc, copper and boron. If a micronutrient problem is suspected, take a plant tissue sample to determine if a deficiency exists and a micronutrient fertilizer is required. Micronutrients are expensive to purchase and avoid over applying micronutrients because they can become toxic when applied at too high of a rate.

In essence, he is an independent businessman who can ply his trade all over the world. Kaverman was traveling on business this week but filled in the blanks for this article via text messaging with Nolan. Kaverman has financial backing from a Florida businessman who enjoys poker as a hobby. In turn, through his poker winnings, he was able to provide Nolan with the financial support he needed to launch his own Fort-Jennings-based excavation business. His backer invests in him like my brother invests in me, said Nolan.

50 Years Ago 1964 A Delphos man, who has made railroading a lifetime career, was paid a signal honor Wednesday night. He is Ed Mandery, and the diamond pin presented him was in recognition of his 50 years in the employ of the Nickle Plate Railroad. In April 1914, he started work as a bridge carpenter, and in Nov. 1915, he became a fireman in the Toledo Division of the Clover Leaf District.
