Vacation photos all thats left of Kathmandu for Bockeys

DELPHOS When Mike and
Berta Bockeys son, Matt, decided
to join the Peace Corps after graduating from law school, they had
a few concerns. Topping the list
was the fact he would be half-way
around the globe in a third world
country. Following in short order
were the usual parental fears.
We were a little surprised he
wanted to do this but it made sense
for him; hes adventurous, mother
Berta said.
One thing they had not thought
about was a natural disaster. Matt
was assigned with a group in Nepal
and had been there about 19 months
when the earthquake hit April 25.
His family had just been there for a
visit three weeks earlier.

We were never so glad to hear
from one of our children, Berta
said. He is in a remote village about
three days travel from Kathmandu.
They still felt the earthquake but
they didnt really have any damage.
Once she learned her son was
safe, the mother of four turned her
prayers to the Nepali people.
We had just been there and
the people are so friendly, kind,
and helpful, she said. They have
nothing and they dont know they
have nothing because its their way
of life. While Kathmandu is a city
of chaos, they live very simply. It
breaks my heart to know what they
have lost.
When the family was in Kathmandu, they noticed how closely all
the homes and businesses were laid
out and the people were right on top
of each other.
I cant imagine what it looks like
now, Berta said. If one building
would be destroyed, it would take all
the ones around it down. The Monkey Temple everyone sees on TV
was damaged and Im sure a lot of
the other temples were destroyed.
Some were centuries old and theyre
just gone. Every place we went in
Kathmandu was seriously damaged
from what Ive seen on the news.
Matts job with the Peace Corp
is help improve the lives of the villagers where he lives and he works
with them to help them plant the
right crops and teaches them how to
make money from seed plants. He
is also trained to teach them how
to build stoves. Many Nepali cook
the Bockeys are the six on the right, and include, Matt Bockey,
over an open flame in their huts.

Another summer
of construction
Lincolnview Stages Mock Crash
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT The barricades have been up for nearly a
week, and work is just under way on the second phase of the
West Main Street Reconstruction project in Van Wert. Phase
one kept construction equipment and workers on the citys
west side for the summer of 2013. This coming summer will
see the next stretch of the project undertaken from Shaffer
St. to John Brown Rd.
Van Wert Safety-Service Director Jay Fleming said
this phase should be completed a little sooner than the
first. The difference between the first phase and this
phase is that this time there is a little bit less utility work
and the storm sewer work is not near as big and deep
as the other phase was. That work will progress much
quicker.
CONSTRuCTION/16
Mock crash means serious business

a LifeFlight helicopter speeds away from the scene of a mock crash at Lincolnview High School
Friday afternoon. the exercise conducted by Middle Point Fire department, with assistance
of several other emergency units, was presented to the high school students as a cautionary
reminder with area proms being conducted. the nearly 60-minute presentation simulated the
rescue operation after the collision of an SuV and a semi trailer. (dHI Media/Ed Gebert)

Licensed physical therapist robert Kann has developed a new

behavior modifying treatment that kills two birds with one
stone called automatic response training (art). Kann works
with Parkinsons patient don Hoehn on repetitive functional
techniques used in sitting down on and standing up from a
chair or couch during a clinic at delphos Vancrest Health Care
Center. (dHI Media/Stephanie Groves)
DELPHOS Each day our bodies perform a wide range of functions

involving standing, sitting and walking by utilizing many muscles, as
well as brain functions to complete
the actions. For many people, these
body responses and cognitive behaviors are automatic, but for the million
Americans who live with Parkinsons
disease (PD), just the primary motor
skill of being stable while standing
upright is a challenge.
Licensed physical therapist and
developer and presenter of P.A.R.K.
(Parkinsons Activity and Rehabili-
tation Klinic) Robert Kann said he

has developed a new behavior modifying treatment that kills two birds
with one stone called Automatic
Response Training (ART).
The goal of the program is to
improve the patients cognitive functions and muscle memory to achieve
automatic responses, Kann said.
Patients strengthen their muscles
through functional repetition and improve functional techniques through
repetition. The trick is to combine
both aspects simultaneously.
Each week at the Vancrest Health
Care Center facilities in Urbana and
Delphos, Kann trains ART to 6570 patients and their caretakers
spouses and/or significant others

Members of the Village of Ohio City

touches on their booth on Friday
evening. this years relay for Life
event begins this morning at the Van

a.m. pancake breakfast followed by
the opening ceremonies at 11 a.m. and
continuing until 11 p.m. this evening.

so they can reinforce the treatment

at home and increase their safety.
Kann said when it comes to having PD, patients have to slow down
and think of the techniques of getting in and out of bed and chairs,
walking, and adapting to unknown
environments. He has seen many
patients fall into and over chairs
when they rush.
Parkinsons patients are very
impulsive - their minds move faster
than their bodies move, Kann said.
Shuffling of the feet is a hallmark
symptom of PD and up to 80 percent
of the patients Ive seen have some
difficulty picking up their feet.

Singer Ben E. King dead

NEW YORK (AP) Ben E. King, the unforgettable lead
singer for the Drifters and solo star whose plaintive baritone
graced such pop and rhythm n blues classics as Stand by
Me, There Goes My Baby and Spanish Harlem, has died.
He was 76.
King died Thursday of natural causes, his publicist Phil
Brown told The Associated Press on Friday. His attorney, Judy
Tint, said he died at The Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey, near his longtime residence in
Teaneck.
As amazing an artist as he was, multiply that by a million
and thats how nice a guy he was, she said.
A native of North Carolina who moved to New York City as
a boy, King was singing with the Five Crowns when they were
hired in 1958 to become the new incarnation of the Drifters,
a top act for Atlantic Records who had several doo-wop hits
featuring tenor Clyde McPhatter. The new Drifters, their records among the first in the rock era to use strings, had a more
polished production and vocal style and became key influences
on recordings by Phil Spector and others in the 1960s.
King co-wrote and sang lead on There Goes My Baby,
and he and the Drifters followed with such favorites as Save
the Last Dance for Me and This Magic Moment, romantic
and emotional ballads mostly written by the team of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman.

Elks donate toward chapel renovation

InformatIon submItted
VAN WERT The Veterans
Committee of Van Wert Lodge No
1197, Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks recently made a $500 donation
towards the renovation of the Military
War Album Chapel which is located
next to the Van Wert County Courthouse.
In 1944, then Sheriff Roy Shaffer had a collection of pictures of local veterans that were serving their
country, and it was then decided the
pictures could be best displayed in a
centrally located building open to the
public. The frame was constructed at
the Marsh Foundation and was then
erected at the site it now stands, beside
the County Courthouse. By the end of
August 1944 over a thousand pictures
were collected for the display. The pictures were displayed at the Van Wert
County Fair that year prior to being
placed in the new building.
Over the years more pictures have
been added to the display and it reached
its capacity around 2007.
With the addition to the building, all
the pictures have been removed and will
reproduced so they are all the same size.
The pictures will be displayed in an alphabetical order.
The Van Wert County Veterans Service Office has some of the funds for
this project from previous donations,
but are relying on additional donations
to complete the project.

is with this motto in mind that the Van

to this very worthwhile cause.

Reading is Fun week and the teachers were
invited to ask a community leader to come and
read to the class. Bob Ulm read the book Baby
Owls and showed the kindergarten students
there are different ways people can read. The

Van Wert Post Office asks residents to help Stamp Out Hunger
InformatIon submItted
VAN WERT On Saturday,
May 9, the National Association
of Letter Carriers, United States
Postal Service, Feeding America
and other partners are asking the
people of Van Wert to help Stamp
Out Hunger. Now in its 23rd year,
the annual food drive has grown
into a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of
Americans struggling to put food
on the table.
The Stamp out Hunger food
drive, held on the second Sat-
urday in May, has

become the nations
largest
single-day
food drive. In 2014,
generous Americans
donated 72.5 million
pounds of food, feeding 30 million people. This was the 11th
consecutive year of at
least 70 million points
collected by letter carriers. The Stamp Out Hunger
Food Drive has collected well
over one billion points of food
since it began.
Were proud to
support this food
drive, said Acting
Postmaster
Scott
Wurst. Were asking residents for their
support to help make
this another successful year. Its easy to
make a donation:
simply leave a bag of
non-perishable food
items by the mailbox to help your
neighbors in need.
The need for food assistance
exists in every community in
America. According to the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, 50
million Americans are food insecure, meaning they live at risk
of hunger. Perhaps most alarming is the fact that nearly 16
million children in America are
struggling with hunger. In addition, 4.8 million seniors face
choices between paying rent,
utilities, and having nutritious
food.
To participate in the annual
Stamp Out Hunger food drive,
residents are encouraged to
leave a sturdy back containing
non-perishable food items, such

as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice
or cereal, next to their mailbox
prior to the time of regular mail
delivery on Saturday, May 9.
Letter carriers will collect these
food donations as they deliver
the mail and take them to local
food banks.
For more information about the
annual Stamp Out Hunger food
drive, visit www.feedingamerica.

Multiple missteps lead to the Kent State Massacre

Investigation Of Slayings On
From the
Archives
Kent State Campus Ordered
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
To those readers of a certain

age, the time and the images are
ingrained into their memories. A
social and generational expanse
had opened up and cast those who
supported the U.S. government and
those who opposed the war in Vietnam on a crash course toward each
other. The two sides met at Kent
State University on May 4, 1970.
Historians often say that no big
events occur in a vacuum and there
are always steps leading up to them
that can often only be seen in hindsight. The Kent State Massacre
proves the point.
Richard Nixon had been elected
president in 1968, partly upon his
promise to end Americas participation in the Vietnam War. His inauguration held a great deal of hope
for those who were worried about
being drafted into a war they were
vehemently opposed to but almost
immediately, the honeymoon period
was over.
By November of 1969, the My Lai
Massacre the killing of up to 500
unarmed Vietnam civilians by U.S.
forces had been made public and
outrage grew even more. On April
30, 1970, Nixon announced U.S.
forces had begun fighting in Cambodia, adding fuel to the anger for
those who wanted to see the war end
instead of an escalation of fighting.
On May 1, a demonstration of
about 500 students at Kent State met
on the Commons where one student
buried a copy of the U.S. Constitution while others burned their draft
cards. Later that night, a crowd of
students and visitors and students
left some of the local bars and threw
beer bottles at storefront windows
downtown, including a bank which
set off alarms. Bar owners, not
wanting the trouble to spread into
their businesses, closed early, pushing more inebriated people into the
street. By the time police arrived, a
bonfire had been built in the roadway and the crowd threw beer bottles at the officers.
On May 2, Kent Mayor Leroy
Satrom declared a state of emergency and officially requested Gov.
James Rhodes to send in the Ohio
National Guard to help keep order.
When the guardsmen arrived that
night, a large demonstration was
already in progress and the ROTC
building on the Kent State campus
was on fire. As many as 1,000 protesters cheered while the building
burned and then booed when multiple fire departments arrived to

Young
extinguish the blaze. The protesters
were able to slow the fire fighters by
cutting holes in the water hoses. The
guardsmen brought the crowd under
control but one student was slightly
injured during his arrest.
On May 3, Gov. Rhodes in a press
conference called the protesters
un-American and compared them to
Nazi brown shirts who were intent
on destroying higher education in
Ohio. He also said he would be filing
for a court order which declared an
Ohio-wide state of emergency which
would allow a type of martial law,
allowing him to bar any demonstrations. That night, the students again
gathered on the Commons but the
guardsmen used tear gas to break up
the group. The young people gathered again downtown, hoping a sit-in
would force the university president
and the mayor to meet with them. Instead, the guardsmen followed them
downtown and began to enforce the
curfew the mayor had imposed earlier in the day. A few students were injured as they were taken back to their
dorms, some by cuts from bayonets.
By now the Kent State campus was a tinderbox only waiting
a spark to explode into flame. A
demonstration had been planned
days before for May 4 but the university administration tried to stop
the event by passing out leaflets
that said it was canceled. More than
2,000 students showed up anyway.
As protesters took turns speaking,
units of the Ohio National Guard
began attempting to disperse the
crowd. When a campus patrolman
rode up in a jeep to read a legal or-
KENT, Ohio (AP) - Kent State University, evacuated after four students were shot to death by National Guardsmen breaking up an antiwar demonstration, was virtually deserted and under heavy police
and military guard today.
The Justice Department and officials of the National Guard launched separate investigations of the
gunfire outburst Monday which took the lives of two
girls and two young men.
National Guard officials said the civilian soldiers
fired in defense of their lives when the student crowd
closed in, throwing rocks and chunks concrete.
The dead were:
Miss Allison Krause, 19, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Miss
Sandy Lee Scheuer, 20, Youngstown, Ohio, Jeffrey G. Miller, 20, Plainview, N.Y., and William K.
Schroeder, 19, Lorain, Ohio.
Four other students were critically wounded by
rifle fire.
President Nixon deplored the campus deaths in a
White House statement.
The campus and the City of Kent were sealed off
following the shootings.
School officials ordered the faculty, staff and
19,000 students to leave. Classes were suspended indefinitely by University President Robert I. White.
Later, Portage County Prosecutor Ronald Kane,
armed with a court injunction, officially closed the
university until further notice.
Patrols of guardsmen and state patrolmen roamed
the campus and blocked all entrances Monday night.
Businesses in the City of Kent and the approaches
to the city were cordoned by police and guardsmen.
Nixon said he would order a Justice Department
investigation if the state so requested and Gov. James
A. Rhodes then asked for the FBI to carry out an
inquiry.
The governor had ordered the Ohio National
Guard to the campus Saturday night following a
demonstration by some 1,000 students during which
the Army ROTC building was destroyed by fire.
der to disperse, the students threw
rocks at him and forced the jeep to
turn around.
The guardsmen tried tear gas
again but the wind picked up so
the cloud blew away with little effect. The units then fixed bayonets
to their rifles and approached the
crowd. The students backed away
and over a hill, veering off to the left
as the went. The guardsmen did not
follow but instead congregated by a
chain link fence that surrounded one
of the athletic practice fields. After
remaining there for short time, the
soldiers began to march back the
same way they came. As they went,
the student group moved toward
them and shadowed their move-
Do you remember when?
Jerry Stoklas, 20, a campus newspaper photographer, said he witnessed the shootings from a rooftop.
He said about 400 students were harassing the
guardsmen and they turned and opened fire. I saw
five people go down.
Other witnesses said the demonstrators were pelting the guardsmen with rocks and chunks of concrete.
Stoklas said the troops had backed away, but the
demonstrators followed. He said the guardsmen had
turned around several times, apparently trying to
scare them.
Sgt. Michael Delaney of the guard public relations staff said 20 to 30 rounds of M1 rifle ammunition were fired.
At the approximate time of the firing on the campus, he added, the Ohio Highway Patrol - via helicopter - spotted a sniper on a nearby building.
Some students actually contended the sniper
was actually one of the several student photographers atop Taylor Hall.
Guard spokesmen said 900 to 1,000 persons had
been involved in the demonstration at the universitys Commons and that the guardsmen had exhausted their tear gas supply in dispersing the crowd.
The states National Guard commander, Adj. Gen.
Sylvester T. Del Corso, said the troops began firing
from semiautomatic rifles after a rooftop sniper had
shot at them.
Gene Williams, a member of the student newspaper staff, said he saw the troops turn in unison as if
responding to a command, and fire into the crowd.
Brig. Gen. Robert H. Canterbury, who was in direct command of the guard contingent on the campus, said no order was given to shoot.
A military man always has the option to fire if he
feels his life is in danger, he said. The crowd was
moving in on the men on three sides.
The shooting lasted about two or three seconds.
Officers at the scene immediately called for a cease
fire.
ments. Suddenly the guardsmen

stopped, turned and fired into the
student group. Four students were
killed, including two who were not
in the protest but only walking from
class to class.
Flames of anger and horror
spread quickly across the entire
country. More than 900 college
campuses were closed across America because of protests. An estimated 100,000 people descended on
Washington D.C. for protest speeches. They also slashed tires, smashed
store windows, and threw debris
off overpasses onto traffic below.

Lessons From The Tragedy At Kent

(This column was originally published in the May
9, 1970 edition of the Times
Bulletin.)
It was bound to happen sooner or later whether it was at Kent
State or some other college campus.
As a newspaper we could see it
coming like a Sunday punch.
There are many viewpoints
from which to observe what happened at Kent. The loss of human
life is tragic, particularly if it is
youth.
Young lives are also being lost
every day in Vietnam and on the
highways.
The questions to ponder are
Between
Us
By
I. Van Wert
why did those students at Kent

die?
The questions apparent simplicity is deceptive. It is not
enough to reply: They were shot
because they did not obey authority. Nor does it suffice to say, as
some of the youth might: They
flown to Camp David for his protection.

Ten days after the Kent State
Massacre, two African-American
students were killed at Jackson
State University but the event barely
registered a note in the newspapers.
Eight guardsmen were eventually indicted for the shootings.
They claimed they had only fired
in self-defense, saying a sniper had

give but do they really answer the

One thing can be stated with
some assurance.
Both sides in that deadly confrontation at Kent got carried
away by excessive zeal. They lost
their cool.
It is rather ironic that in campuses across the nation, the students involved in protests against
the violence of war in Vietnam
and its apparent spread to Cambodia, are stooping to violence in
their protests.

This week in 1990, a second
American hostage was freed by an
unknown Shiite Moslem group suspected of receiving funding from
Iran. Frank Reed had been held captive for nearly 3 1/2 years before he
was released to Syrian officials in
West Beirut, just nine days after Robert Polhill had also been let go. Reed
reported he spent most of his captive
time blindfolded with no news from
the outside world, often not even
knowing the month.

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5)
Signifying Nothing
Violence, looting, and buildings burning have been a way of
life this week in Baltimore.
On April 12, Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man, was
taken into custody by the Baltimore police on a charge of carrying an illegal weapon, in this case a switchblade that did not
conform to the law. Gray died a week after his arrest allegedly
due to injuries suffered while in custody.
Conflicting reports have since been made public about the
arrest and death. Eyewitnesses at the scene of the arrest stated the police used excessive force during Grays apprehension.
Another prisoner inside the police van stated Gray attempted
to hurt himself while in custody. The police administration
has reported the officers did not buckle the prisoner into his
seat and the medical examiner said his injuries were consistent with being injured during transport. Finally, the Baltimore
prosecutors office yesterday ruled Grays death a homicide and
charged six officers with various counts up to second degree
depraved murder.
Our issue is not with the police or Gray. We believe the truth
of what happened during the arrest and transport of the prisoner will play out with a full investigation and possible trial.
What has left us completely disillusioned is the response of
the Baltimore community. After Grays funeral on April 27,
multiple incidents of civil unrest broke out around the city,
quickly turning into destructive acts of violence.
That night more than 200 people were arrested during the
first acts of violence and more than 20 police officers were injured, six severely. Also, more than 140 cars and 20 businesses
were destroyed, many by fires lighting up the city skyline.
In response, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
requested a National Guard presence. In addition, the governor
sent 500 state troopers and requested 5,000 more law enforcement officers from surrounding states to help control the violence. A curfew was instituted.
The escalation between the two sides continued. Protests in
the streets ended with rocks being thrown and buildings set on
fire. Looting ravaged the stores that were saved from flames.
Police reaction resulted in bloody clashes.
Officials were so worried about crowds going out of control that a Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox game was
postponed and the next day the scheduled game was played but
the public was barred from attending, leaving the surreal sight
of major league baseball players competing in front of deserted
stands.
We believe that peacefully protesting what the public believes is an injustice is a right, one our Founding Fathers would
recognize as part of the creation of the country.
But what is happening in Baltimore is not peaceful and, in
many cases of looting, not a real protest. It saddens us that only
a few weeks ago Americans celebrated the 50th anniversary of
the Selma Marches. Those protesters led by the Rev. Martin
Luther King, Jr. remained peaceful, even in the face of violent reactions and overwhelming odds, and accomplished great
strides forward in civil rights. This week we also remember the
tragic acts at Kent State 45 years ago and the deaths of four unarmed students and the injuries of nine others. As in Baltimore,
the consequences of both sides continually upping the ante and
pushing the other side resulted in an outcome that neither had
predicted or wanted.
In Act 5, Scene 5 of Macbeth, Shakespeare has Macbeth
on the battlements of Dunsinane Castle watching the enemy
forces approaching in the guise of Birnham Wood with tree
branches masking their numbers. Macbeth laughs at the upcoming battle, believing his forces can withstand any siege. But
then he hears the anguished cry of a woman who is filled with
the sorrow of death. Macbeth then realizes even in victory he
will lose, that the violence has become so much of his life there
will never be peace for him at the end. Too late he wishes for a
chance to go back and find another way.
With the growing line of violent protests in America, we
wonder how long it will be before we also wish for the ability
to move back in time to find another way forward.
I have received word from

folks in my hometown. The
townsfolk are in a bit of a tizzy. It seems that the school
building where I attended
elementary school and junior
high is now slated for demolition. The very structure
in which I won the spelling
bee, the building where I attended my first school dance,
the large brick wall that I
peppered with tennis balls,
super balls, and the occasional baseball, all are probably
lying on the ground as rubble
by now.
I write about this now,
knowing that in the past decade I have spoken with many
people who still grieve over
the loss of the school building
that housed so many memories. Some are angry that
these buildings are gone, occasionally some accused the
powers that be of not taking
enough care of the 50-100year-old school structures so
that they could stand for as

long as the former students
would live. They sometimes
forgot that the boilers or other antique inventions did not
hold up long enough or that
parts for these old forsaken
machines are no longer available. And putting in some
new furnace instead of building a new building is far from
being cost-effective.
My reaction to the demolition of my old school is
simply this: It doesnt affect
me, so what difference does
it make to me? I liked that
building, but I really cant
think of anytime I was actually in that building after I
left eighth grade.
I may have returned to the
gymnasium while I was of
college age, but that would
have been the only time. The
high school gym with the
built-in wooden seats/bleachers was a thing of beauty.

tures of the aftermath of that

blaze. The community eventually came up with the money and materials to rebuild a
school at the site of the old
burned-out hulk of the previous building. It was finished
and opened in 1931.
My grandparents had
graduated from that school
in 1913. They no longer pined
for the Good old school in
their later years. They took
pride in the new school
the one that served as my
old school until the building was no longer used a year
or so ago.

to do list?
I start out with the best
intentions. Items are categorized and listed by days they
need to be completed. And
yet, there are still items left
unchecked at the end of the
week.
Am I setting my expectations too high? It doesnt
seem so when the list is being
created.
How do these multi-tasking mothers of young children do it? They seem to race
from dance to gymnastics to
baseball effortlessly; coordinating each day to use every
millisecond of time. Uniforms are clean and homemade snacks for teammates
and peers appear in cheerful,
decorated packages. At the
same time, they hold down
jobs and save time for a little
personal attention.
There are days I cant even
manage to get the dinner
dishes cleaned up, let alone
manage my day to include a
myriad of other household
tasks. I havent even been
able to find time to paint my
toenails; a personal sign of
sandal season that is fast approaching enameled toes
or not.
I cant even look at the

yard without eliciting a deep
sigh. The landscaping is in
dire need of weeding, the
winter onions have well outgrown their designated patch
and (this next part is not true
through no effort of my own)
the snowblower is still in
front of the lawnmower in the
garage.
Have I mentioned my car
needs washed and detailed
and corners of the house havent seen a vacuum in longer
than Im going to admit?
Looking back at the week
and at my accomplishments,
they seem to pale in comparison to the duties not crossed
off on my list.
My car insurance needs
paid and Im pretty sure my
cactus is going to die unless
an emergency repotting is
performed. A prickly task at
best. (Can you believe that
cactus is still alive and has
even grown a few new arms!)

To the editor,
I recently attended the Stakeholders Summit hosted by the Van Wert
County Commissioners. The event was
attended by approximately 75 business
leaders and citizens. The group shared
a common concern for the future of our
community development, population decline and job growth in Van Wert City
and County.
I am grateful to the business leaders
for their investment of time, candid discussion and deep concern for the future
of Van Wert City and County. After the
two-day think tank, I feel the stakeholders have a clear understanding of the issues and objectives. The session ended
on a positive note. All were interested in
a second session for the purpose of developing a plan of action.
I recommend that those who were unable to attend the summit contact Sara
Smith to attend the next session. We
must be mindful of the current trends
towards declining population and available work force. We must do all that we
can to alter these trends.

I applaud the efforts of all involved in
this process and assure them that I will
support their efforts in every way possible.
Thank you to those responsible for
bringing these subjects to the forefront
for open and honest discussion. Thank
you for desiring to be part of the solution, which I feel is within our grasp.

OPINION
Protecting Ohio jobs

from unfair trade
At forums Ive held across our state, Ohioans have made clear their opinions on unfair
foreign trade deals. This week I echoed your
voices loud and clear in Washington: the last
thing we need is another NAFTA.
Ohioans have felt the painful effects of
these bad deals for years. This month I was
in Dayton and met with Jimmy, who worked
at Appleton Paper for 45 years. He was one
of 400 workers laid off due to unfair trade in
2012.
George, from Warren, Ohio, wrote to me
about the factory closures that have affected
his whole familyhis wife lost his job at GE
in Ravenna when that plant closed; his brother-in-law lost his job at Ohio Lamp in Warren when that plant closed; and Georges own
plant, WCI Steel, has closed its doors.
Gary in Continental, Ohio wrote about the
devastating effects of NAFTA on his entire
community. The number of jobs at his GM
Powertrain Foundry has dwindled from more
than 5,000 to just 1,000 today, with more potential layoffs to come in the next few years.
He writes, NAFTA wasnt good for our community and foundry, because our iron casting
business went to Mexico.
We should not be fast tracking another bad
trade deal that will only fast track more jobs
overseas.
Thats why I voted against fast track au-

or TPP. We
must also improve the fast track process, which could be
used to pass trade deals that affect more than
60 percent of the worlds GDP and millions of
American jobs.
TPP still doesnt go far enough to level the
playing field for American companies and
American workers. It would even leave the
door open for China to join the deal at a later
date without so much as a vote in Congress.
Without strong rules on who can join the TPP,
we might as well be talking about the China
Free Trade Agreement.
We have seen what happens when we make
trade deals with countries who dont follow
the same labor, health, and safety rules that we
do in this country: we get a flood of imports,
our trade deficit goes up, wages go down, and
factories shutter.
We owe it to Gary and George and Jimmy
to take a long, hard look at this deal, and we
owe it to Ohios working families to do more
than rubber stamp a trade agreement that will
shut down production in Bucyrus and move it
to Beijing. Thats why Im saying no to more
bad trade deals that amount to nothing more
than corporate handouts and worker sellouts.
Lets be sure trade works for Ohio

With over a quarter of
Ohio manufacturing jobs
dependent on exports, workers on factory floors across
our state benefit when we
export world-class Made in
America products. Workers
at Timken in Canton export
more than half of their Ohiomade bearings. Auto workers
in northwest Ohio export all
over the world, including exporting more than 137,000
Toledo-made Jeep Cherokees
and Wranglers last year, more
than a quarter of production.
Ohio soybean farmers that I
visited with recently export
more than 60 percent of their
crop. Ohio exports support
good-paying jobs here at
home.
But while we push to export more Made in America
goods and services around
the world, weve got to be
sure we have a more level
playing field for our workers
and farmers. This includes
more aggressive enforcement
of current trade laws against
unfair practices and new laws
to support American jobs.
One new law needed is to
stop other countries from manipulating their currency.
Recently, I received a letter signed by thousands of
Ohio auto workers at Ford
facilities that called currency manipulation the most
critical barrier in the 21st
century. Those words were
from workers at Fords Transmission Plant in Sharonville,
which I visited not too long
ago. I also received a similar
letter from Ford workers in
Avon Lake and Lima with the
very same concerns.
Given these concerns, I authored legislation that cracks
down on currency manipulation, which hurts American
workers by making our exports more expensive while
our competitors exports into
the U.S. are cheaper. Thats a
raw deal for American workers. I am pleased to be joined
in this fight by American
workers and manufacturers
like Ford, GM, U.S. Steel,
Nucor, AK Steel and others.
I am also working with steel-

My bipartisan amendment
with Senator Sherrod Brown

Committee last week and
will be debated on the Senate
floor soon. I am also pleased
by important progress on
legislation I worked on with
Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) to crack down on customs duty evasion schemes
through the ENFORCE Act,
to ensure our competitors arent illegally skirting import
laws.
Since being sworn in to the
Senate, I have heard firsthand
from workers whose factories
have been adversely impacted
by the illegal trade practices
of foreign competitors. With
so much to gain from growing U.S. exports, we cannot
let countries get away with
gaming the system at the
expense of American manufacturing workers. This is exactly why I have stood sideby-side with Ohio workers in
dozens of trade enforcement
cases to ensure they are protected from illegal practices
targeting U.S. jobs.
Recently I was in northwest Ohio meeting with United Steelworkers (USW) to
discuss the challenges they
faced from imported Chinese tires that allegedly break
trade laws. In response to
these concerns, I sent a letter
to the Secretary of Commerce
and called on the Administration to vigorously investigate this case and stand up
for USW workers in Ohio.

To the editor,
Citizens of Van Wert, imagine clean
streets, sidewalks you can stroll along with
your baby carriage, and neighborhoods free of
falling down structures. We are only one election away from making this a reality.
Sweep this city government clean of the
self-serving politicians who have managed to
do nothing even though they have lived here
all of their lives. It doesnt matter if you were
a resident all of your life or 15 years or one
day! How long is long enough to show that you
cannot get the job done?
What matters is who is most qualified.
Who is sincerely interested in working for the
people of this city? Who has put every effort
and personal investment into becoming mayor
of this city?
People of Van Wert, I know you want the
things I mentioned above so vote for Jerry Mazur. He has proven that he can accomplish assignments, tasks and projects. He has a vision
for this city that can be a reality. He has lived
in, worked for, volunteered for and loved this
hard-working Ohioans.
This important tire case
comes on the heels of two important trade victories in 2014
for Ohio workers. Last year I
worked with Senator Brown
to support Ohio pipe and tube
workers in Cleveland and the
Mahoning Valley who are
manufacturing parts to support the energy renaissance
taking place in our state.
We successfully won trade
enforcement cases against a
number of countries, including China, that were illegally
underselling and subsidizing
their products. That followed
trade enforcement wins for
Ohio workers who manufacture hot rolled steel, washing
machines, candles and rebar.
While we crack down on
illegal practices by our competitors and expand exports,
we must also stand up for
our allies. The right approach
for Ohio is to export more
which creates good jobs and
crack down on unfair trade
practices. With that balance,
Ohio workers and farmers
win. Thats why I worked on
a bipartisan amendment with
Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.)
on legislation aimed at combating the anti-Israel Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions
(BDS) movement.
Over the past several
years, a growing contingency
of countries have sought to
isolate and delegitimize Israel through BDS. This amendment leverages ongoing trade
negotiations to discourage
prospective U.S. trade partners from engaging in economic discrimination against
Israel. I am happy to report
that our bipartisan amendment to Trade Promotion
Authority (TPA) successfully passed the Senate Finance
Committee last week. Now
we need to be sure it is part of
the final TPA bill.
While we work to expand
exports and create more jobs,
we must also be sure that
we are ready to do all in our
power to crack down on and
hold foreign trade partners
accountable when they break
the rules.

Thoughts on gay marriage debate

Gay marriage is one of
the most hotly debated issues
in our government today.
Whether or not it should be
allowed is a major issue in
both parties with Democrats
moving for allowing it and
Republicans trying to keep it
from being allowed. Should
our government have the
right to tell us what is right or
wrong?
I believe that, in recent
years especially, the government has been trying to
decide for us how our lives
should be lived. This has
been evident in the passage
of the Affordable Care Act
where the government believes everyone should have
access to health care but at
the same time they decided
that rather than just making it available, they made it
mandatory for all Americans.
Now, should the government
be able to decide what is morally right or wrong?
When talking about the
issue of gay marriage most
of the justification of why it
shouldnt be allowed comes
from the Bible. But the government is supposed to be
we
the
PeoPle
By Quinton
Rutowski
free of religion which is the
same in the fact that religion
is free of government.
Conservatives say that gay
marriage should be a state
right, allowing the decision to
lie in the hands of the people
because the Bible says its an
abomination. One must realize that if you are going to so
strictly follow and paraphrase
a text that was written around
2,000 years ago, you need to
be aware of other sections of
that text.
For example, the Bible instructs us to stone any woman who is found to have engaged in premarital sex. Now
with teen pregnancy rates so
high, I dont see conservatives moving for all teenage
mothers to be stoned.
How can they say that one
persons way of life is wrong
Why do our
children go hungry?
Millions of American households experienced food insecurity last year, meaning they
did not have consistent access to food. Yet, our
country is experiencing an obesity epidemic,
and at the same time, as much as 40 percent of
the U.S. food supply (35 million tons) ended
up in the trash.
In a land of abundance, how can children
go hungry? One in seven American households is food insecure. Thats 14.3 percent,
thats 49 million people, including 15.7 million children. Sixty-nine percent of food-insecure households report having to choose between food and utilities.
This information was part of an article by
Kevin Cook in the May issue of The Rotarian magazine. The article looked at Hunger
In America and featured Billy Shore, CEO
of the charity Share Our Strength based in
Washington, D.C.
Shore says, Feeding people ends their
hunger for the course of a meal or a day. Ending hunger means putting a system in place
to ensure that all children get the three meals
they need every day. When you consider the
amount of food Americans waste, it is no wonder millions of the worlds poor want to come
to America.
During 2015 the worlds population will
grow by 80 million equal to the population
of California, Texas and New York combined.
Thats a gain of 211,000 per day. There are
255 births per minute, 108 deaths.
Did you know one in five American children struggle with hunger? Breakfast is the
most important meal of the day. Shore says,
Its critical for children to have a good breakfast because its brain food. Studies show that
children learn more after having adequate nutrition before school.
The trouble is that hunger is a symptom of
when many high schools pass

out contraceptives in health
classes. This promotes safesex which is a good thing, but
at the same time can promote
premarital sex, which the Bible says is wrong. So before
we allow the government to
use religion to justify hate,
we should first look at the
whole picture and ask how
much would gay marriage
affect me if it was legal. I
would say that more often
than not, it would have an effect at all.

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last
Saturday, May 2, 2015

You will face an assortment of
challenges this year. Financial
matters should be monitored
scrupulously. Choose projects
carefully based on time and
financial considerations. You
have what it takes to succeed,
but you must avoid burnout
from taking on too many projects or doing too much for others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Difficulties with a family
member can be resolved if you
are willing to compromise.
Being too stubborn or pushy
will cause tension and lead to
a stalemate. Be willing to meet
halfway.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You will be tempted to
mix business with pleasure. A
co-worker will intrigue you,
but dont get too chummy or
you will jeopardize your reputation or position. Consider the
consequences.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Stay clear of someone who
wants you to bankroll an enterprise. You work too hard for
your money to toss it away on
someone elses dream. Invest
in yourself instead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Someone will try to smear
your reputation. Dont divulge
too much about your personal life or current plans. If you
play by the rules, you will
come out on top.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Focus on your occupation.
Your superiors will be quick
to react if you spend too many
working hours trying to solve
your personal woes. Address
such issues on your own time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- You will be bewildered by a
current situation. End the anxiety by getting in touch with the
person causing the problem,
and work to find a solution.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- You wont have a problem
convincing potential partners
to back your plans. Put your
best foot forward and seize
the moment. Your knowledge
and determination will make a
positive impression.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Dont expect something for nothing. Make sure
that you know whats expected
of you before you make a commitment. A misconception on
your part will be costly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Residential improvements will add value and comfort to your home. One of your
favorite hobbies can be turned
into a successful enterprise.
Make every move count.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Someone has an interest in what you have to offer.
Some planning and imagination can improve your financial status. Present your ideas
to a potential source of support.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- A disappointment is likely if
you trust a sales pitch. Get all
the details before you go ahead
with a personal change. A rash
decision will lead to regrets.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Strive to be more self-assured. Showcase your talents.
The positive feedback you
receive will make your confidence grow. A personal relationship will take a positive
turn.

Braun tosses 2-hitter as Cougars blank Jeffcats

BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor

sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT On a day when everything

outside seemed to warm up, the bats stayed
cold in a non-conference game between Van
Wert and Delphos Jefferson at Smiley Park on
Friday. The two squads combined for just five
hits and two runs, with the host Cougars getting the better of a 2-0 final.
A lot of it is confidence, Jefferson coach
Doug Geary said of his teams recent woes at
the plate. You go through stretches during
the season where youre hitting the ball well,
and a lot of times when youre struggling. A
lot of our guys are in that situation right now.
Van Werts a quality team, and youve got
to tip your caps to them. Were jut struggling
with the sticks; no question there.
Van Wert hurler Josh Braun was efficient
with his pitches, needing only 74 to complete
his two-hit shutout. He did not walk a batter
and recorded only two strikeouts, but was
helped by a strong defensive effort.
Throwing strikes helps a lot in keeping
your defense playing, Van Wert coach Charlie Witten said following the game. Josh did
a good job throwing strikes and getting ahead
On the other side, Jefferson southpaw Jacob Pulford, who hasnt seen much work
on the mound of late, battled his command
throughout, but managed to keep the Cougars
off the scoreboard through four innings. After a lead-off walk to Jake Williamson in the
home half of the fifth, however, Pulfords day
was done, as he was replaced by Nick Fitch,
who was making just his second appearance
on the mound for the Wildcats this season.
JP started and hes improving, Geary
explained. He hadnt thrown in eight days. I

was real happy with him coming out and giving us four good innings. From there, we just
tried to piece it together with guys who havent thrown much.
Fitch faced only four batters, walking three
(one intentionally) and recording one out on a
sacrifice bunt. The last of Fitchs walks came
with the bases loaded, as Caleb Fetzer drew
the free pass, scoring Williamson. Another
pitching change and another bases-loaded
walk, this one to Braun, made it 2-0.
Meanwhile, Braun was in control. He went
to just three 3-ball counts in the game, and
retired each of those three Jefferson hitters,
the last one, Gaige Rassman, on a shallow fly
ball to center to start the top of the seventh.
It came on the ninth pitch of the at bat and
appeared as if it would fall in before Mason
Carr made a running catch to keep Rassman
off the bases.
We made several good defensive plays,
and we made almost all the routine defensive
plays, as well, Witten observed.
Carrs running catch loomed large when
Pulford lined a sharp single to left two batters
later, which would have given the Wildcats the
potential go-ahead run at the plate. Instead,
with one on and two outs, Braun induced a
ground ball to second baseman Justice Tussing to end the game.
The Wildcats turned in a couple of defensive gems of their own in the game. Rassman
made a sliding catch in center to rob Braun of Jefferson first baseman Jacob Pulford stretches for a throw as Van Werts Mason Carr (3) lunges
a hit in the fourth, and third baseman Damien for the bag during Fridays game at Smiley Park. Carr was out on the play, but Van Wert claimed a
2-0 win behind Josh Brauns 2-hitter. (DHI Media/John Parent)

St. Johns squeezes

out win over Flyers

DELPHOS The Blue Jays won their second Midwest

Athletic Conference game in a row at home with a 4-3 victory
over Marion Local at Stadium Park on Friday night.
With the game tied at two in the sixth inning, St. Johns
loaded the bases as Jacob Youngpeter was hit by a pitch,
Jordan Boone walked, and Josh Warnecke singled. Blue Jay
coach Jerry Jackson made the gusty call for Aaron Reindel to
lay down a bunt with one out. Reindel surprised everyone at
Stadium Park as he executed the the squeeze play to perfection to score Youngpeter for a 3-2 lead.
Weve had that play in the cupboard all season and were
waiting for the perfect time to pull it out said Coach Jackson.
Playing a league game against Marion with post season implications seemed like a go time to go for it.
The Flyers came back to tie the game in the top of the
seventh inning, as Ethan Nietfield singled with one out and
scored on a Hunter Wilker liner to center. On the play, Wilker
attempted to advance but was gunned out by catcher Buddy
Jackson to thwart a Marion Local chance to gain the lead.
With fans on the edge of their seats, more drama developed
in the bottom of the inning.
Jackson lead off with a single followed by the second hit in
a row for the Jays as Eric Vogt reached. Coach Jackson wanting to advance both runners into scoring position, called for
another bunt, this time by Jesse Ditto. For the second time in
two innings, St. Johns perfected the bunt play as the speedy
Ditto sprinted towards the first base bag forcing the Flyers
to rush the throw. The out attempt was overthrown at first as
Jackson rounded third and headed home for the win.
This win was bittersweet for our multisport athletes since
they lost to the Flyers in football and basketball continued
Jackson. We had to win to get an opportunity to be chosen
as a top 4 seed in the tournament draw to be held Sunday. We
have played 7 of the 12 teams (winning 5) that are going to be
at our super sectional and hopefully the last two wins put us in
a great position for the draw.
Marion Local got on the board in their first at-bat loading the bases with a pair of walks and a single by Wilker. St.
Johns pitcher Josh Warnecke got Nick Thwait to ground out to
score the runner giving the Flyers the early 1-0 lead. The Blue
Jays came back in the bottom of the inning when Seth Linder
drew a one out walk and Jackson singled putting runners on
the corners. Vogt singled to right plating Linder and Aaron
Reindels fielders choice gave the Jays a 2-1 lead.
The contest became a nail-bitter as neither team scored as
Warnecke and his Blue Jay teammates held the slim lead until
the sixth inning. Matt Kahlig lead off for the Flyers with a
ADA The Lancer baseball team got back on track

on Friday with a 9-8 Northwest Conference win at Ada.
As they had done during Thursdays home loss to Allen East, the Lancers fell behind early on Friday, as the
Bulldogs plated a run in the home half of the first.
Left hander Jalen Roberts made sure the lead would
grow no larger, however, putting up zeroes in each of the
next three innings. That gave his club and opportunity
to get the bats going, and, in the third, they did just that.
Roberts opened the inning by reaching on an error,
then advanced on a passed ball as DH Cody Hoehn
walked. After a sacrifice bunt advanced both runners, a
strikeout left the Lancers in need of a 2-out hit to break
into the scoring column. Third baseman Derek Youtsey
provided it, lining a sharp single through the box, plating
both runners.
Lincolnview added on in the fourth.
Dustin Hale walked and Keli Ralston bunted him
over, but reached when the bunt was misplayed. A pair of
Lancer strikeouts, on either side of a walk, left the bags
full with two away for Chayton Overholt. He hit a rocket
to short, but an error allowed two runners to come around
to score.
The Lancers extended their lead in the fifth, plating
three more runs, as Overholt knocked in two more on a
single through the middle.
In the matter of two innings, however, Lincolnview
went from ahead 7-1 to trailing 8-7.
Ada put four runs on the board in the home fifth,
thanks to three walks and two singles, then took the lead
on a walk, a single and a two-base error in the sixth.
Suddenly looking up at a deficit, the Lancers responded. Walks to Wyatt Schmersal and Roberts got the Lancer
rally started in the seventh. After Jacob Pollocks sacrifice bunt, Overholt was again the hero, singling home another run. Three batters later, Dalton Schmersal gave the
Lancers the lead, coming through with a 2-out liner to
left that scored Overholt.
Roberts allowed a one-out walk in the seventh, but
ended the game by picking off the runner.
The Southpaw went the distance for the Lancers, allowing just three hits but issuing nine walks. He was
charged with eight runs (five earned) and struck out four.
Three Ada pitchers combined to do Roberts one better,
handing out 10 free passes.
Lincolnview was paced offensively by Overholt, who
went 3-for-4 with five runs batted in. Youtsey added two
hits and two RBI.

single and came home to knot the game at two on a Cory Hietkamp liner. Warnecke ended the inning with strikeout to set
the stage for the late inning heroics by the Jays.
Warnecke pitched a complete game for the second quality
start in a row by the St. Johns pitching staff. Warnecke struck
out six Flyers and walked three for the win. St. Johns offense
again reached double digits in the hit column pounding out
10. Jackson, Vogt and Reindel each had two hits apiece for
the Jays.
The Jays (9-10,2-4 MAC) home stand continues Tuesday
night as St. Johns plays their third straight league game as

Rolsten, Simerman out-duel Sinn; Knights top Wayne Trace

BY NICK JOHNSON

CONVOY The Crestview

Knights, having wrapped up first
place in the Northwest Conference,
set their sights on a 12-game winning streak wins as rival Wayne
Trace came to town on Friday night.
Though the Raiders have struggled all season long, Wayne Trace
gave the host Knights all they wanted before falling in a classic pitchers duel, 2-1.
The Raiders loaded the bases
with two outs in the opening inning
as David Sinn singled after Austin
Fast walked and Caleb Schaefer
reached via an error. Spencer Rolsten got the next batter to fly out to
left field to get Crestview out of the
inning without any damage.
The game remained scoreless

until the fourth, when the Raiders
scratched out a run. Noah Stoller
reached on a Crestview error, then
went first-to-third on Sinns second
hit of the game. Brandon Laney followed with a ground ball to shortstop Zech Simerman, who threw out
Laney at first, but allowed Stoller to
dent the plate and the Raiders took
a 1-0 lead.
In the bottom of the frame, Colby Clifton walked and stole second
base before later tying the game on
a wild pitch by Sinn. Justin Overmyer singled with two outs and also
stole second. A base on balls and a
hit by pitch loaded the bases full of
Knights.
The next batter, Mitchell Rickard
hit a ball down the first base line,
forcing the first basemen to field and
try to hit Sinn covering first base.

Rickard beat the throw, which allowed Overmyer to score the second
run of the inning.
Neither team got a runner past
second base in the final two-and-ahalf innings as Crestview picked up
the 2-1 victory.
Just a good baseball game, just
a good battle, Said Wayne Trace
coach Matt Nogle. Both teams
played good defense, and then their
outfield just had some good catches that really helped them out. We
were talking about meeting our
goals: four walks or under a game,
two errors or under in the game, and
we met our goals. While we didnt
come out on the right side (of the
scoreboard), for us we are proud of
meeting those goals.

Six-run 6th propels Lancers past Lady Cats

BY JIM METCALFE

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
MIDDLE POINT Softball fans

and players couldnt have asked for better spring weather Friday night: sunny
skies and mild temperatures.
That is what Lincolnview and Kalida played under at Lincolnview High
School.
Unfortunately for the visiting Lady
Cats, 10 errors are not conducive to winning. Even though they out-hit the Lady
Lancers 10-7, the hosts took advantage
of everything else to post a 12-6 nonleague victory.
After the Lady Cats (2-10) had fought
back with a 5-run top of the sixth to tie
it at 6-6, errors killed efforts to keep the
Lady Lancers (8-11) off the board. They
sent 10 batters to the plate. With one
down against reliever Samantha Nagy
(in her third inning of work), an error on
an Alena Looser grounder got her on.
Looser stole second; she stayed there
as Macala Ashbaughs blooper behind
the pitcher fell for a hit on a diving effort
by shortstop Taylor Zeller. Both runners
came home on a 2-run rocket double to
left by Baylee Neate, and an error on
the throw home put Neate at third. She
would later score on Devann Springers
bunt single.
Hannah Taylors sacrifice bunt got
Springer home, and a throwing miscue
on the play allowed the batter to reach
second. She scored on a 2-base throwing
error on Zoe Millers grounder, ending
Nagys night on the mound and bringing
starter Dana Knueve back to the circle.
A comebacker by Sidney Jenkins advanced Miller to third and she scored on
an infield hit by Julia Thatcher to make
it 12-6.
That was big, to answer after they
tied it. We capitalized on their errors. We
played some small ball and were aggres-
sive on the bases, Lincolnview coach

Brad Doidge explained. Macala only
had the one bad inning they didnt
hit a lot of balls hard but they found the
spaces. Those are the close plays we will
need to make against good teams.
It was simple for Kalida coach Kelly
Schnipke.
Too many errors, she observed.
At the same time, we have improved so
much over the course of this season; we
are just so young, so errors are a part of
growing up.
The home team went up 2-0 in the
home first against Knueve. Thatcher
led off with a free pass the only one
Knueve issued stole second, advanced
on a wild pitch and scored on Stephanie Longwells bunt. A throwing error
allowed Longwell to reach base. She
scored on a wild pitch advancing two
bases and an error on the sequence.
Kalida got one back in the top of
the second against Lincolnview complete-game starter Ashbaugh. With
one down, Zeller blooped a hit to right,
Knueve did the same to left and Hannah
Warn was safe on a throwing error on
her grounder, with Zeller coming home
and runners now at second and third.
However, Ashbaugh fanned the next two
to get out without further damage.
The Lady Lancers went up 5-1 in the
home third. Thatcher grounded a hit into
left, stole second, took third on a wild
pitch and touched the dish courtesy of a
RBI knock to left by Longwell. Looser
sacrificed; a throwing error allowed the
runner to scoot to third. A throwing error on Ashbaughs grounder loaded the
bases. An out later, a throwing error to
home on a Springer bouncer plated Longwell and a wild pitch got Looser home
for the 4-run edge.
Lincolnview made it 6-1 in the bottom of the fourth: a throwing error on
a Jenkins grounder, a groundout by
Thatcher, a wild pitch and an RBI come-
backer by Longwell.
Warn broke an 8-out string for the
Lady Cats with a line single just off the
glove of leaping third baseman Makenzie Kraft to open the top of the fifth.
However, after a strikeout, catcher Looser tried to pick her off; the ball got away
but first baseman Miller easily gunned
Warn down at second.
The Wildcats sent 11 to the dish in the
top of the sixth, combining six base hits
and a free pass to do so. The big blow
was a 2-run blooper to the outfield grass
along the left-field line by Kierstan Siebeneck to get Knueve and Warn home
for a 6-6 tie. Earlier RBI hits by Erica
Edwards, Warn and Tori Niese accounted for the first three runs.
Kalida got a 2-out blooper behind
third base by Zeller and a wild pitch
moved her up but Knueve flied out to left
to end the game.
Lincolnview next visits Bluffton 5
p.m. Monday; Kalida is at Allen East 5
p.m. Tuesday.

ROCKFORD Parkways six-game losing streak came to

an end in a big way Friday as the Panthers out-slugged New
Knoxville 10-6. Parkway is now 11-7 overall and 3-3 in the
Midwest Athletic Conference. The Rangers are 5-11 and 1-5.
We were 10-1, then that kind of left us, said Parkway
coach Luke Clouse We went through our 0-6 streak. The bats
kind of left us, and our defense kind of left us. We saw a lot
more of it tonight. That was good to see.
Both teams went with left-handers on the mound: Derrick
Mosier for Parkway and Adam Howe for New Knoxville.
The Panthers jumped on Howe for six runs in the second
inning, but none of them were earned, thanks to three Ranger
errors. Parkway had three singles in that inning third baseman Hayden Abramovich, first baseman Brody Adams and
shortstop Tanner Bates plus a sacrifice fly by second baseman Jensen Riley.
Mosier cruised through the first three innings, but New
Knoxville batted around in the top of the fourth, scoring four
runs, all earned, on five hits to close within 6-4.
It got even closer in the fifth when centerfielder Shane Topp
led off by blasting a double into the gap in left center, which
brought in right hander Carson Ford to replace Mosier. Ford
retired the next two batters, but second baseman Logan Leffels
line single to left scored Topp 6-5, Parkway.
Just when it looked dicey, though, Parkways bats came alive
again in the bottom of the fifth.
With one out, DH Wyatt Felver crushed one over the 370foot sign in left center to push the lead to 7-5. Catcher Brandon
Gibson ripped a double to the gap in right center, which spelled
the end for Howe and the beginning for right-hander Nathan
Merges. Gibson went to third on a wild pitch, then scored on an
infield single by Ford. The Panthers added two insurance runs
in the sixth, the big blow being Felvers opposite-field triple to
the fence in right 10-5, Parkway, after six.
When Fords elbow became a bit sore, Clouse replace him
with lefty Trace Walls to start the seventh. The Rangers greeted Walls with three straight hits, but catcher Gibson short-circuited that rally by throwing out an attempted base-stealer, the
second time he did that in the game.
Walls struck out the last two batters, limiting the damage
to one run.
Felver (2 for 4, a homer and a triple, two runs, two RBI)
and Gibson (2 for 3, including a double, two runs, one RBI) led
Parkways hitters. The Rangers had four players with multiple
hits Shane Topp (2 for 4, including a double, one run), shortstop Ryan Allen (2 for 4, two runs), third baseman Nick Topp
(2 for 4, including a double, one run, one RBI), and Leffel (3 for
4, two RBI). Score by innings:

Quick start helps Lady Panthers stop Wayne Trace

HAVILAND Parkway scored six runs in

the first three innings and the Lady Panthers
controlled the game from there in posting an
8-1 win over Wayne Trace in non-league softball action Friday night.
The Lady Panthers scored three times in
the first to seize the early advantage.
They came out hitting, stated Raider
head coach Jack Baumle of the visiting Panthers. Parkway put the ball in play and made
us make plays defensively. They are a good
team and they showed that tonight.
Parkway added two more in the second to
widen the margin to 5-0 before scoring another in the third to stretch the lead to 6-0.
The Panthers then posted their final two
runs of the night in the top of the fourth, pushing the margin to 8-0.
That is a good hitting team all the way
around, Baumle continued. We didnt help
ourselves defensively at times either. We set-
tled down as the game went on but we werent

able to string anything together tonight.
Wayne Trace got its lone run in the home
half of the fourth on a run-scoring single by
Leah Sinn that plated Mackenzie Swary.
From there, Parkway senior pitcher Kayle
Heckler kept the Raider bats in check. Heckler limited Wayne Trace to five hits and a walk
while fanning three in five innings of work.
Sophomore hurler Katelin Augsberger
tossed the last two frames, striking out four
Lady Raiders while allowing no hits or walks.
Their pitcher did a good job of keeping us
off balance, noted Baumle. We hit the ball
very well Thursday night but we werent able
to string anything together tonight.
Heckler and senior Kayla Walls each posted two singles and a triple with Heckler driving in two runs and Walls scoring three.
Terra Walls added a pair of singles for
the Panthers. Alyx Slusher, Alisa Gray, Bailey Bates, Haley Hawk and Selena Burtch all
picked up a single for Parkway.
Addison Baumle topped the Raider offense
with a single and a double while Sinn, Swary
and Carrie Thrasher added singles.

Molly Crosby suffered the loss for Wayne
Trace, surrendering seven hits and five runs
with two strikeouts in 1 1/3 innings.
Addison Baumle tossed the final 5 2/3
frames, giving up six hits and three runs while
fanning seven.
Wayne Trace returns to action with three
state-ranked opponents on the schedule next
week. On Monday, the Raiders visit Fairview,
rated fifth in Division III, before hosting Minster (sixth in Division IV) Tuesday afternoon.
Wayne Trace then travels to rival Crestview
on Wednesday, where the Knights are ranked
eighth in the latest Division IV poll.
The Raiders conclude action next week
with road trips to Wauseon on Thursday and
Lincolnview Friday.
Parkway makes the trek to Coldwater in
Midwest Athletic Conference action Monday before hosting Marion Local Tuesday.
The Panthers host Lima Shawnee Wednesday
and conclude the week by traveling to stateranked Minster on Thursday.

BB) combined on the mound for the victory.
Jacob Meyer and Justin Thiery each had three hits, while
Montenery, Nick Freewalt and Luke Carpenter each had two
hits in pacing a 16-hit offense. Mitchell Youngpeter smashed a
home run and Red Wood had a 2-RBI single.
Joel Beining took the loss for the Big Green.
The Bearcats are now 9-9 on the season and next play Monday night at Ada.
Ottoville visits Lima Temple Christian at noon Saturday.
AP Racing Writer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Bob Baffert hopes hes celebrating in the winners circle at the Kentucky Derby. He
just doesnt know which horse or owners
would join him.
After all, the trainer has the two top
favorites for Saturdays race.
American Pharoah, owned by Egyptian Ahmed Zayat, is the early 5-2 favorite for the 141st Derby off an eight-length
victory in the Arkansas Derby.
Dortmund is the 3-1 second choice.
Hes owned by India-born Kaleem Shah,
now a U.S. citizen whose pride for his
adopted country is evident in the red,
white and blue silks his chestnut colt
wears.
Coming in here we feel really
strong, Baffert said. If you get beat, the
fall is pretty steep.
American Pharoah dominated his
competition leading to the Derby, winning his last four races by a combined 22
1/4 lengths. Baffert calls him brilliant,
but hes yet to be tested in the kind of
fractious conditions the Derby offers. He
will be ridden by Victor Espinoza, who
won last year aboard California Chrome.
If American Pharoah breaks a step
slow, hes going to find himself in a situation that he has not faced before, said
Mark Casse, who trains 30-1 shot Danzig Moon.
Dortmund stands an imposing 5 feet,
8 inches from the ground to near his
shoulder blades and is a son of 2008
Derby winner Big Brown. He is undefeated in six races against tougher competition than his stablemate faced. Martin Garcia works out American Pharoah
in the mornings but rides Dortmund in
the race.
This is an exciting, exciting field,
Zayat said. Its fun to have the best of
the best running against each other.
A full field of 20 was reduced to 19
for 1 1/4-mile race after El Kabeir was
scratched Friday. His left front foot was
bothering him Friday and the colt trained
by John Terranova was sore coming out
of his stall. His absence means Calvin
Borel, a three-time Derby winner, wont
ride.
Todd Pletcher brings three horses
to the race: Carpe Diem, the 8-1 third
choice; Florida Derby winner Materiality; and Itsaknockout, fittingly running
on the same day as the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas.
Were ready, Pletcher said. Lets

Flyers cool off Lady Bearcats

go.
Materiality didnt run as s 2-year-old
and no horse since Apollo in 1882 has
won the Derby without racing as a sophomore. His pedigree suggests he could
overcome the jinx: his sire Afleet Alex
won the Preakness and Belmont in 2005.
Blue Grass winner Carpe Diem cost
$1.6 million and a win in the Derby
(worth $1.4 million) would help his owners recoup most of their investment. John
Velazquez clearly saw something in the
colt because he chose to ride Carpe
Diem instead of Materiality in the Derby. But he will have to overcome the No.
2 post; getting away from the starting
gate quickly could minimize the chance
of getting trapped inside.
This years field is deep and talented,
and absent Bafferts dynamic duo, there
are other horses with solid credentials
who in a different year would be more
highly regarded.
Among them:
Mubtaahij, an Ireland-bred trying
to win the Derby by preparing outside
the U.S. and then traveling halfway
around the world to reach Louisville. He
won the UAE Derby by eight lengths and
his South African trainer Mike de Kock
is highly regarded.
Firing Line, a colt that twice had
photo-finish defeats to Dortmund before winning the Sunland Derby by 14
lengths in track-record time.
International Star, a versatile colt

that swept the trio of Derby preps at the
Fair Grounds in New Orleans. He has
tactical speed to get good position, helpful in a crowded race. Hes razor sharp
and rarin to go, trainer Mike Maker
said. Show up at 5:45 tomorrow and
hell put all your questions to bed.
Frosted, the Wood Memorial winner, is owned by a member of the ruling
family of Dubai. Godolphin Racing is
0 for 7 in previous Derby tries, but this
time Sheikh Mohammad had his horse
prep in the U.S.
Upstart beat Frosted in the Holy
Bull and finished second behind Materiality in the Florida Derby.
Baffert jokes that its been so long
since the last of his three Derby victories in 2002 that he doesnt remember.
He knows, though, what a horse must do
if it is to wear the garland of red roses.
You need to get a decent post, break
well, get the trip, he said. Its the
toughest field Ive been involved in since
Silver Charm (in 1997).
American Pharoah, Dortmund, Carpe
Diem and Materiality have combined
to win 17 of 19 races, including a 10-0
mark this year.
The hype is over with, said Ken
Ramsey, who owns International Star.
Its time for potential to develop into
performance.
Tribe tops Blue Jays; Reds fall to Braves

THE ASSOcIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND (AP) Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer and Brett Hayes added a three-run shot, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 9-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday
night.
Josh Donaldson and Jason Kipnis hit home runs in the first,
which was just the beginning of the offensive outburst.
The Indians finished April with a 7-14 record, the worst
in the American League. The win raised their home mark to
3-8 and was just their second victory in 10 games against a
left-handed starter.
Carlos Carrasco (3-2), making his first start at Progressive
Field since being hit in the face by a line drive on April 14,
allowed four runs in six innings.
Brantleys first home run of the season off Mark Buehrle (32) in the fourth broke a 4-4 tie. Hayes added a three-run homer
in the fifth off Andrew Albers.

Bosss unwelcome advances make first job uncomfortable

DEAR ABBY: Im 16 and
just got my first job working
in food services. I have been
working here for about two
months, and have grown close
with my co-worker Samantha and my boss. Samantha
quit suddenly a few days ago.
Today she told me our boss
had told her he had strong
feelings for her. Hes married
with kids. I am now very uncomfortable being there, but
I still want to continue working for the experience and to
save money for college. Im
not sure what to do. I havent
even told my parents yet.
SERVER GIRL IN CHICAGO
DEAR SERVER GIRL:
Now that you know your
employer is capable of inap-
Dear
abby
with
Jeanne
Phillips
propriate behavior, keep your
distance. If he does make a
move on you, remind him
that you are a minor, and if
he doesnt stop it, you will
tell your parents and he could
get into serious trouble. That
should cool his ardor.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I am in a
happy relationship with my
girlfriend, Tracy. Recently,
she has been talking on and

on about how she is so in love
with a particular celebrity.
I find it irritating when she
says things like, Thats my
man, or I had an intense
dream about him. How am I
supposed to react?
I feel I should have something clever to say in response. Ordinarily Im not
a jealous person, but lately I
have begun feeling that way.
Am I being ridiculous? Please
help. REGULAR GUY IN
INDIANA
DEAR REGULAR GUY:
Ask your girlfriend how she
would feel if you kept telling
her youre in love with Jennifer Lopez or Beyonce and
have intense dreams about
them. Then skip the clever
comeback and tell her honestly that what shes doing is

annoying and you want her to
cut it out. Thats honest and
direct, and unless your girlfriend has shredded wheat for
brains, shell comply.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I had a
closet full of clothes I found
hard to part with, although
they no longer fit me. Usually,
I give my gently used clothes
to my local donation center,
but for the past year I have
held onto some expensive designer items that Im hoping
to fit into again.
My sister-in-law helped
me move recently and asked
me if she could have some of
the items. We are close, and
I was happy to give them to
her because I could see how

much she liked them. I have
just learned that she took the
items to a consignment store
and sold them.
If I had known she was
going to sell my clothes, I
wouldnt have given them to
her. I feel deceived, and the
money she received should
belong to me. Should I address this issue with her or
keep pretending that I know
nothing about it? SWINDLED IN THE SOUTH
DEAR SWINDLED: Im
not sure swindled is the
word I would choose, but I
agree you were taken advantage of because you were led
to believe your SIL wanted
the clothing for herself. Because once a gift is given it
belongs to the recipient to do

with as she (or he) pleases,
I dont think you should confront her now. Bide your time,
and when she asks you for
more things in the future
and she will that would be
the appropriate time to refuse
and tell her the reason why.

EASY CHEESE
Dear Heloise: When making a grilled cheese sandwich, I first toast two pieces
of bread in one slot of the
toaster, toasting just one side
of each. When I assemble
the sandwich, I grill it on the
untoasted sides of the bread.
My bread is toasted on both
sides yum! Stella G.,
Danville, Ky.
Stella, this does sound like
a good hint, but how do you
fit two slices of bread into one
slot? They must be very thin
slices of bread, or your toaster must have bagel-size slots.
If you are going to use a frying pan to grill the sandwich,
why not simply put the bread
in the pan and toast one
side? Then make the sandwich the way you normally
do.
Oh, one of my favorites?

Dear Readers: When a

new dog comes into the family, depending on where you
live, a doghouse might be a
priority. This is especially
important if your dog will be
outside most of the time.
You can buy one or make
one. Here are some hints to
know:
The dog needs enough
room to stand, sit and turn
around. Not too big, though!
Do put the doghouse on
cement blocks or another
sturdy base to help keep the
floor dry and cool or warm,
depending on where you live.
If its cold outside, the base
of the doghouse will transfer
that coldness inside the doghouse. Or, if boiling hot, like
in Arizona or West Texas, the
elevation will allow airflow
between the soil and the doghouse.

Spacious Denver designed for narrow lot

By Associated Designs
Because the Denvers footprint
is a mere 50 feet wide, it fits neatly
on a narrow lot. But that doesnt
mean it feels the least bit cramped.
This Prairie-style home offers nearly
2200 square feet of living space.
Much of that space is in the
comfortably large and open room
at the rear, where the living room,
dining room and kitchen flow together. Natural light washes in
through wide windows in the living
and dining areas, plus a smaller
window in front of the kitchen sink.
A gas fireplace nestles into a
corner by the rear windows.
Across the room, an atrium door
opens onto a covered patio that
could be screened, if flying insects
are a concern.
A flush eating bar rims the
cooktop island that provides partial separation between the kitchen
and the rest of the gathering space.
Cooks can serve soups, snacks and
other light meals to family and/or
friends ranged along the eating
bar, while keeping an eye on activities in the larger space and patio.
A roomy step-in pantry fills one
corner of the kitchen.
Double doors in the foyer open
into a room that could be a den,
fourth bedroom, art studio, or
whatever suits. Its location just inside the front door is also ideal for
a home office.
Bedrooms, utilities, and bathrooms fill the right side of the
Denver. The utility room links

with the two-car garage and could
double as a mudroom. It also provides a safe and comfortable passage to the inside for unloading
groceries and other supplies.
A storage closet lines the hallway to the owners suite, which
Covered
Patio
11' x 13'
boasts an exceptionally deep

walk-in closet, plus a two-section
bathroom with a double vanity.

STORY OF THE DAY

6 Baltimore officers
charged in death
of Freddie Gray
By JULIET LINDERMAN AND AMANDA LEE
MyERS
Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) Saying no one is above the
law, Baltimores top prosecutor announced charges Friday
against six officers in the arrest of a black man whose neck
was broken in police custody, a decision that comes amid
outrage around the country over police brutality against African-Americans.
States Attorney Marilyn Mosby declared that Freddie
Grays death was a homicide, his arrest was illegal, and
his treatment amounted to murder and manslaughter. She
detailed what happened to Gray during his arrest and his
nearly 45-minute ride in a police wagon, contradicting what
police have said on some points and shedding far more light
on what happened during his fatal journey.
Gray carried a legal pocket knife, she said, not the illegal switchblade that an officer described under penalty of
perjury. And officers repeatedly denied Grays requests for
medical attention, even when he said he couldnt breathe. At
one point, he was shackled at the legs, handcuffed behind his
back, and put back into the wagon on his stomach.
At another stop, an officer spoke to the back of Mr.
Grays head, and even though he was unresponsive, made
no effort to look or assess or determine his condition, Mosby said.
The findings of our comprehensive, thorough and independent investigation, coupled with the medical examiners
determination that Mr. Grays death was a homicide, Mosby
said, has led us to believe that we have probable cause to file
criminal charges.

Onlookers cheered shouted Justice! during Mosbys
announcement. Few expected such quick action. The city,
which saw looting and businesses and cars burned on Monday, remains under a nighttime curfew, with National Guard
troops and police out in full force and huge protests expected
Friday and Saturday. More than 200 people have been arrested and nearly 100 officers injured in the unrest following
Grays funeral.
Malik Shabazz, the president of Black Lawyers for Justice, says Saturdays protest march will now be a victory
rally, and said Mosby is setting a standard for prosecutors
all over the nation.
Mosby announced the charges less than a day after receiving the results of an internal police investigation and the
autopsy report.
Mr. Gray suffered a severe and critical neck injury as a
result of being handcuffed, shackled by his feet and unrestrained inside of the BPD wagon, she said.
US, Canada unveil rules to boost oil train safety

WASHINGTON (AP)
Rail tank cars used to transport crude oil and many other
flammable liquids will have
to be built to stronger standards to reduce the risk of a
catastrophic train crash and
fire, under sweeping new
safety rules unveiled Friday
by U.S. and Canadian transportation officials.
The regulations are a
long-awaited response to a
series of fiery train crashes
in the U.S. and Canada, including four so far this year.
The most serious accident
occurred in July 2013, when
a runaway oil train derailed
in Lac-Megantic, Quebec,
just across the border from
Maine, killing 47 people and
destroying most of the towns
central business district.
I witnessed Lac-Megantic firsthand, and I believe

that we truly have to act to
honor those who died and
honor those who were injured to show that safety is
our most important priority
in transportation, said Canadas Minster of Transport,
Lisa Raitt.
She joined U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony
Foxx in announcing the new

regulations.
Under the rules, new tank
cars carrying the most volatile liquids, including crude
oil and ethanol, must have an
outer shell, a thermal lining
to withstand fire, improved
valves and thicker, 9/16thsinch steel walls to keep them
from rupturing.
Large fire produces smoke plume

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio residents near a large
commercial warehouse in Columbus that caught fire and sent
thick black smoke billowing into the air have been asked to
stay inside, shut their windows and doors and avoid breathing
in the smoke.
The smoke isnt believed to be toxic, however, and no injuries have been reported.

SeaWorld cited over safety of trainers who work with orcas

By JUlie Watson
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) SeaWorld whose safety practices have
been under scrutiny since an animal
trainer was killed in 2010 by an orca
at its Orlando, Florida, park has
now been cited for not adequately
protecting its killer-whale trainers
at its park in San Diego.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health issued
four citations this week that carry
nearly $26,000 in fines. SeaWorld
Entertainment Inc. said in a statement that the citations show a fundamental misunderstanding of
whats needed to care for orcas and
that it plans to appeal.
According to the citations, the
park hasnt kept employees aware
of the dangers posed by orcas, and
it required them to sign an annual
confidentiality form that discouraged trainers from reporting hazards for fear of reprisal. They say
employees ride and swim with killer whales in the parks medical pool
although keepers have not been
allowed in the Shamu Stadium pool

during orca shows since the Orlando death. It also cited SeaWorld for
allowing trainers to be with orcas in
shallow areas on the edges of pools
known as slide outs.
The theme park also is accused
of not effectively training its employees and supervisors to safely
interact with killer whales. The citations stem largely from an inspection on Oct. 29.
The companys safety practices have drawn fire since SeaWorld
trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed
in 2010 when killer whale Tilikum

grabbed her and pulled her into a
pool.
SeaWorld was cited for violating
federal safety workplace following
an investigation into Brancheaus
drowning that found the park had exposed its trainers to recognized hazards when working in close contact
with orcas during performances.
The company said in a statement
that it has since made improvements
to its killer-whale program, including fast-lifting pool floors that could
help to quickly separate trainers

His village is miles from the next and
travel is limited to buses.
We rode a lot of buses while we
were there, Berta said. Matt said it
wasnt unusual for someone to get on
with livestock, either. He had the pleasure of traveling with a gentleman and
his three goats. Some bus drivers allow
it and others dont.
Before the earthquake and subsequent mudslide, Matt could call home
whenever he wanted. Since then, its
been a little less frequent.
The country is so poor you wouldnt
think they would have much in the way
of technology, but while they lose electricity at least once a day and some dont
have electricity at all and the Internet is
spotty, ironically, they had pretty good
cell phone service until this happened,
Berta said. Its too expensive for us to
call him, but only costs him pennies a
minute to call us.
The Bockeys also visited several
national parks and got to see the Big
Three: an elephant, a rhinoceros and a
tiger.
We got to see the elephant and
the rhino right off the bat but the tiger was more elusive, Berta said.
On the last day we were in one of the
parks, we told our guide we wanted
to see a tiger and he made it happen.
He said he knew where one should
be and we went there and waited and

The project is going to be completed basically from east to
west. They are starting the water line now, Fleming stated.
Thats going to be a short project. Then they will back up
and start installing storm sewers around the Orchard Tree area
and extend that west. Then theyll come right back behind that
and start excavating the street. The people on the east end are
going to get the benefit of being done first. That takes in the
area around the car dealership and the county highway garage.
West Main is the latest of the major Van Wert thoroughfares
to go through reconstruction, thanks to state dollars. Washington Street and Shannon Street have already been rebuilt and
reopened to traffic. West Main Street has one phase completed
with the second phase just beginning this past week. For a city
whose motorists should be used to dodging orange barrels and
barricades, there will be about six more months to work on
getting through to businesses near the construction zone.
According to Fleming, the process is designed much as
has been done in past projects. Like most of our projects, the
street will be closed during the day, but it will be open to the
business, but not open to through traffic. We discourage people
from trying to drive the length of the street, he said. Weve
talked a lot with Eaton, and they are instructing their employees how to come in and leave their parking lot based on which
phase the project is in. Were going to build the east half of
Main Street first, and then were going to flip and do the west
half so that Eaton will be able to use drives in both directions
depending on which phase we are in.
Working around the shift schedule at Eaton will be easier than working around the schedule at Federal Mogul during
2013. Eaton can get trucks and employee traffic out either side,
while Federal Mogul was unable to get semis around the rear
of the facility.
The overall size of the second phase will not further delay
the work, Fleming explained. It is a little longer area, but there
is a little less complexity in the underground work. Thats what
can really slow you down.
At either end of the project, signs declare the closing of the
route for 185 days, or around six months. Work is being done
by Miller Contracting Group of Ottoville.
The West Main Street project is the major work set for 2015
in Van Wert, although there will be the setting of manholes in
some of the areas with new pavement. The manholes are set to
the correct height and are set in concrete which is colored with
black stain to match the pavement. There will be assorted striping crews in the city this summer also, and later a crew will be
doing the annual painting contracts.
The other work that should be done during 2015 in Van Wert
is the repair of railroad crossings in the city. The announcement of the plans was made by the city administration earlier
this year, and a special city council meeting on the railroad
crossings is on the calendar for May 11.
Parkinsons
(From page 1)
According to the Parkinsons Disease Foundation
(PDF) the disease is a chronic and progressive movement
disorder involving the malfunction and death of vital
nerve cells (neurons) in the
area of the brain called substantia nigra. This area of the
brain produces dopamine (a
neurotransmitter) which is
used to send messages to the
part of the brain that controls
movement and coordination.
As the disease progresses,
the amount of dopamine
produced decreases, leaving
a person unable to control
movement normally.
Kanns treatment of repeating the cognitive functions of safely approaching
and sitting in a chair and then
standing up from the sitting
position is called fluency.
The more PD patients repeat
the techniques and the more
recently they have practiced,
the easier it is for their brain
to transmit their experiences
efficiently and store them for
access later.
There are at least six
techniques that need to be
learned to properly and safely perform the sitting activity, Kann said. If a patient
has difficulties with any of
the techniques, we single it
out and repeatedly practice
that one technique until the

It is estimated that the May Day caper at Ohio State, where
the president recently received a $10,000 per year pay raise,
will cost the taxpayer a good quarter of a million dollars.
It would appear that todays young people, or at least a vast
segment of them, believe they have no opportunity to communicate with government, regardless of administration, other
than through violent confrontation.
It almost makes one wonder just what is being taught in our
colleges.
One thing for sure, when dissent turns to violence and lawlessness it invites tragedy.
All concerned lose when confrontation is pushed to the
point of violence. The lawlessness must stop.
If there is a lesson to be learned in the deaths of the Kent
students, it is a lesson in the virtues of temperance and a sense
of proportion.

patient can perform the technique.

Kanns step-by-step directions are verbal cues that reinforce the patients behavior
and in turn, the caretaker uses
the same cues when working
through the same techniques
with the patient at home each
and every day, all day long.
Every time the PD patient
gets in or out of bed, sits in
or rises from a chair, or gets
into and out of a car, they
work through the repetitive
functional techniques, Kann
said. Caretakers are so passionate about it. They want to
continue sharing the rest of
their lives together as long as
they can.
Another attribute of Kanns
treatment is increasing muscle memory strengthening
the exact muscles a patient
needs while performing repetitive functional activities.
Regular Parkinsons patients symptoms include
tremors, decreases in balance
and voice control, body rigidity and stiffness in muscles,
Kann explained. The repetitive movement is crucial for
strengthening those muscles
the patients use for functional
activities.

It noted that the San Diego park
citations were not precipitated by
any workplace incident, accident or
injury, and they reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of the requirements of safely caring for killer
whales in a zoological setting.
The safety of its employees and
welfare of the animals is a top priority, the company said.
