Jennings science lab a model for others

By MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Nearly a year after ground was broken for the Mary Lou Altenburger Outdoor Science Lab in May 2011, school leaders here are making this lab the most progressive of its kind in the region. Jennings Local Schools has purchased a wind turbine and solar panels which environmental science teacher Jeff Jostpille expects to be installed before the academic year is complete. My junior environmental science class has been working all year and were getting ready to put out the solar panels and wind turbine sometime before school ends, Jostpille said. The lab includes 18 raised garden beds. Students in other grades and teachers have planted various vegetables that can also be used to create energy. We wanted to focus on alternative energy, so we did solar and wind. Also, the gardens are there for bio-mass and we will eventually create methane in an anaerobic digester; that means without oxygen. The bacteria will eat manure and convert to methane gas on a small scale. We will also produce ethanol with equipment we bought last year with a grant and will put biomass from the garden in a still, for lack of a better word, but that will be down the road, he said. Were teaching the kids that everything cycles.

Ottoville takes being green seriously

By MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE The home of the Big Green thought of the environment when the new school was built with a geo-thermal system. In addition, teachers here are working environmentalism into the curriculum with a class being taught this year at the high school. Environmental science teacher Susan Jones is teaching her students to think about how their consumption impacts the long-term concerns of natural resources. We started out the year talking about sustainability. We did a project where each kid discovered their ecological footprint and impact on the environment, as well as ways to minimize that. Then, we went and tried to figure out the schools ecological footprint, she said. Jones said this can be determined by answering lifestyle questions online. There are all kinds of different web sites that, basically, have you take a survey. They ask you all kinds of questions regarding how much you drive, your water usage, food-purchasing and things like that. We used a couple different web sites for comparison and talked about it in class. The goal is to take the information we got from the schools ecological footprint and find ways to minimize it; that will be the first project of next years class, she said. The course curriculum includes helping school leaders increase the districts envi-

Local residents get pat on back for recycling

By MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS For a couple years, Delphos recyclables and trash has been collected by Allen County Refuse. Representative Dan Mathias says the community appears to be steadily becoming more earth-conscious as it makes use of the companys large blue and red recycle containers. Delphos has been good about recycling more and more. When we started, people didnt understand what we were doing but by getting the bigger 65-gallon containers, they have the ability to recycle more material instead of throwing it in the garbage and they have been, he said. In 2010, the year-end total for recycle in Delphos was about 397 tons and in 2011, it was 426 tons. I document it every-other week when we pick it up and it has been steadily increasing, so things are going really well. Mathias said the Delphos trash load in recent weeks has been steady at 25 tons, 26, 24 and 23 tons. He said residents should recycle all materials they can: cardboard, paper products, plastic, glass, tin and aluminum. All items should be clean and he said Delphos residents have done a good job of following these instruc-

tions as none of the loads taken to recycling facilities have ever been rejected or even complained about. He adds how important it is to reuse materials, in part because it protects trees and other natural resources. Its extremely important to recycle, especially considering the problems with landfills; recycling is very important. Recycling keeps the cost of garbage disposal lower because there isnt as much going to landfills. Raw materials are running out for some products, so its just good sense to recycle as much material as possible so it can be reused. Even plastic bottles are being used for polyester to make clothing, he said. Like with the styrofoam used for take-out at some restaurants, its unknown how long it takes for such plastic to biodegrade, if ever. Fortunately, it can be ground up and melted under high temperatures in large mixing vats. The melted plastic is mixed and spun at high speeds until it turns into a foam. The mixture stretches and mixes the melted plastic until the plastic develops a thick rubbery consistency. The thick foam is pushed through a tube with small openings and comes out as fine-textured fibers for use in polyester material.

We do a lot of case studies where we watch videos of different organisms. We did a big unit on tigers and how theyre being affected. The kids really got into it; they dont think about that or other areas like Africa or how people live in other areas and how organisms are being affected.

We do a lot of stuff with energy and other things but I always bring it back to sustainability. Not only does Jones intend to expand the course in time, she also plans to take it out onto campus green space. Were looking at a lot of different options but were planning an outdoor lab and are talking about a community garden or some kind of garden or maybe a small pond we can use for biology and other class-

Sometimes the idea of going green can seem overwhelming, like you have to save the whole world. But in truth, you can start with a few simple steps that, together, will make a big difference. Here are some easy ways you can start to live greener: PRODUCTS Buy locally-produced goods as much as possible. This cuts down on carbon emissions and helps support your local economy.

Tips for going green

Support companies that are trying to make a difference environmentally. Consider purchasing more products sold in metal or glass containers. Reuse containers and reduce consumption waste. Ask yourself, Does that product that I want to buy really need to be packaged in all that plastic? and Do I really need it? FOOD Buy organic food and

es. We also talked about planting trees that would be best for our ecosystem where the greatest number of organisms could benefit from the trees in terms of living on them and feeding off them, she said. In addition to energyrelated issues, the course also introduces students to the relationship between themselves and those who they may think of as disconnected from them and their immediate world. We do a lot of case studies where we watch videos of different organisms. We did a big unit on tigers and how theyre being affected. The kids really got into it; they dont think about that or other areas like Africa or how people live in other areas and how organisms are being affected, she said. This is about getting the kids to think of more than just themselves but to think of the environment, all the other organisms and how we interact. On the elementary side of the Big Green building, teacher Andi Wertenbergers students collect the paper from each classrooms recycle containers. My sixth-graders collect it each week and we take it out to a trailer and Green Fiber comes and gets it. We include recycling in the curriculum and I reinforce that. Our school also recycles plastic bottles, cardboard and things like that with our recycling containers throughout the building, she said. In addition to the paper recycled from each classroom, we also have containers in the cafeteria for things like plastic bottles.

other organic products as much as you can. Buy organic or shadegrown coffee whenever possible. The production of this coffee is much better for the ecosystem and better for you. Re-use cloth or other strong bags at the grocery and other retail stores. Keep bags in the trunk of the car. If you forgot your bags, ask for See GREEN, page 10

I wont say I have a Facebook problem but there are very few days I dont peak twice or thrice. Then I started playing Words With Friends. Its only been a couple week but Im finding myself checking on the three games I have going to make sure its not my turn. I know the whole premise behind the thing is that you can play as often or as little as you want but I hate to keep people waiting. Ive pretty much got their schedules down so I know when to check. I still check a few more times than necessary. Its nothing like my husbands former Farmville problem. He would actually plan his day around harvesting carrots and such. Really? We cant go anywhere because your pretend corn planted on your pretend farm is almost pretend done? Oh, OK. He didnt disable the email feature at first, either. Do you know how many things can happen on Facebook with 300-400 friends, who all play Farmville and other games, too? Hundreds of emails were piling up daily. So-and-so posted this on somebodys wall.

Zimmerman apologizes for shooting; gets $150K bail

By MIKE SCHNEIDER and CURT ANDERSON Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. A routine bail hearing for George Zimmerman took a surprising turn into remorse and explanation Friday when the neighborhood watch volunteer got on the witness stand and told Trayvon Martins parents: I am sorry for the loss of your son. I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am. I did not know if he was armed or not, Zimmerman said, marking the first time he has spoken publicly about the Feb. 26 shooting of the unarmed black 17-year-old. The hearing wrapped up with a judge ruling Zimmerman can be released from jail on $150,000 bail while he awaits trial on second-degree murder charges. Zimmerman, who has been in jail for more than a week, could be out within days and may be allowed to live outside Florida for his own safety once arrangements are made to monitor him electronically. Defendants often testify about their financial assets at bail hearings, but it is highly unusual for them to address the charges, and rarer still to apologize. An attorney for Martins parents, who were in the courtroom when Zimmerman spoke, spurned the apology. The parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, had no comment as they left. This was the most disingenuous and unfair thing Ive seen, said attorney Natalie Jackson. This was the most unmeaningful apology. In a measure of how volatile the case has become, Zimmerman appeared to be wearing a bulletproof vest

under his suit and tie, and his parents and wife testified via telephone because of fears for their safety. After the hearing, Zimmermans lawyer, Mark OMara, acknowledged that putting Zimmerman on the stand was risky but said his client wanted to respond after Martins mother said in an interview that she would like to hear from him. He had always wanted to acknowledge what happened that day, OMara said. I was hoping that it could be accomplished in a private way. We werent afforded that opportunity. Stacey Honowitz, a Florida prosecutor with no connection to the case, said: I think it was to sway public opinion. Hes not incriminating himself. He is setting up his self-defense claim. In agreeing to let Zimmerman out on bail, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said he cannot have any guns and must observe a 7 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew. Zimmerman also surrendered his passport. Zimmerman will need to put up 10 percent, or $15,000, to make bail. OMara said he expects the family to come up with the amount. Zimmermans father has indicated he may take out a second mortgage. Zimmerman worked at a mortgage risk-management company at the time of the shooting and his wife is in nursing school. A website was set up to collect donations for Zimmermans defense fund. It is unclear how much it has raised.

Dec. 31-1936-April 19, 2012 Kenneth Schnipke, 75, of Delphos, died at his residence at 11:05 a.m. Thursday after an extended battle with cancer. He was born Dec. 31, 1936, to George and Emma (Ricker) Schnipke, who preceded him in death. On Aug. 24, 1957, he married Mary Beth Hanf, who survives in Delphos. Other survivors include son Scott (Lisa) Schnipke of Delphos; daughters Sherry (Michael) Rossfeld of Elida, Shelly Obermeyer of Columbus and Shirley (Jeffery) Burke of Continental; sister Patty (Jim) Martin of Ottoville; brothers-in-law Jack (Iona) Hanf of Fort Jennings and James (Nancy) Hanf of Elida; grandchildren Ryan (Kacie) Kill, Eric Kill, Lyndsie Kill, Jesse (Andrea) Kill, Zachary Rossfeld, David (Julie) Burke, Stephanie Burke, Clarissa (Luke) Case, Alexander Schnipke, Cassandra Schnipke and Aaron Schnipke; and great-grandchildren Kaylie, Cora, Chloe and Leena. He was also preceded in death by brother Leonard Schnipke; sister Sylvia Schnipke; and sister-in-law Pauline Schnipke. Mr. Schnipke was retired from the Ford Motor Company after 43 years as an inspector at the Lima Ford Engine Plant. He was a 1955 Ottoville High School graduate and member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church who volunteered at St. Marys State Park and Campground for 12 years.

Dr. Gilmore to explore role of Japanese translators during World War II

Associate Professor of History at the Ohio State University at Lima Dr. Allison Gilmore will share her research on the role of Japanese translators and interpreters in the war against Japan at 2 p.m. April 29 at the Allen County Musuem, 620 W. Market St., Lima. Dr. Gilmores research explores such issues as where these linguists came from, how they were recruited and trained, the many missions they performed during the war, and the critical role they played in facilitating the surrender of Japanese forces throughout the Pacific. Dr. Gilmore is a graduate of the University of Nebraska and The Ohio State University where her academic training emphasized American military history and modern Japan. She

Some of you may remember the song that was first produced in 1934 in the show The Ziegfield Follies entitled, You ought to be in pictures. The song was also used in a 1940s Warner Brothers cartoon featuring Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. I mention this because at that time, it was one of the first films produced with combining animation and real life. Today, that doesnt seem all that amazing with the electronic world we now live in but if you said to someone today that they ought to be in pictures, that someone would probably think of Skype or on a cellphone or maybe even an iPad. What they meant back then was motion pictures ... the movies, the talkies. As one who has studied postal history, I, of course, immediately think of postage stamps. Would you believe that we have had over 2,000 different people who have been depicted on US Postage alone? Thats people who were living and breathing. It doesnt include all the fictional characters like Porky Pig, Snoopy or Superman

(sorry, Clark). The US Postal Service has issued stamps in various groupings or series. I am sure most of you are aware of some of those series and may have even seen them on display at our museum. One of the first series that you see in our stamp area is the Celebrate the Century (CTC) series of stamps. USPS learned a great lesson many years before the CTC series was even conceived of. When it had finally come time to put Elvis Presley on a postage stamp, there was a debate about what image of Elvis they should use. Thus came the $11 million solution for that debate. The USPS advertised two different designs: the first was a very young Elvis; the second was one that pictured the experienced and well-known singer at the height of his career. So where does the $11 million dollars come from? People were allowed to vote on which picture they wanted on the stamp. So, the best way to perform that vote was for people to send in their vote on a postcard. Hence $11 million dollars in

postage for the ballots. Just one more thing about the Elvis stamp: to have your picture on a stamp, you have to be dead. So for me, the postal service put an end to all the rumors. Elvis was not selling gas in Michigan or working as a DEA agent someplace; the USPS certified that he was in fact, dead. But I digress... The Celebrate the Century stamp designs included 30 possible subjects for each of the decades: 1910, 1920, etc. The public cast votes for their favorite 15 designs and those images receiving the most votes became stamps. I really enjoyed the mix of stamp images that the CTC brought us from pop culture to music to famous points in time. Another very popular stamp series was the Legends of American Music which was started in 1993. That year began with the issuance of 18 different stamps in the following categories: Rock & Roll/ Rhythm & Blues, Country & Western and Broadway musicals. As I mentioned earlier, Elvis was on a sin-

gle stamp and was also sold in combination with Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Bill Haley, Dinah Washington, Otis Redding and Clyde McPhatter. In another single issue and then combined in a series of stamps was the image of Hank Williams. He was combined with Patsy Cline, The Carter Family, and Bob Wills. These Co untry & Western singers/performers are all showcased at the Country Music Hall of Fame located in Nashville, Tenn.

teaches American History and U.S. Military History and received the universitys most prestigious teaching award in 2000, The Ohio State University Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching. During the World War II-era, an intelligence unit known as the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) emerged. The United State and Australia combined resources to create this military intelligence unit comprised of Japanese linguists whose wartime mission was to translate

captured enemy documents, interrogate Japanese POWs, and analyze the intelligence value of the information gained. When the US entered World War II in December 1941, fewer than 100 EuroAmericans had a working knowledge of the Japanese language. By wars end, ATIS consisted of over 4,000 American and several hundred Australian linguists, along with a handful of British, Dutch, and Chinese personnel. The racial and cultural diversity of the unit was intensified by the fact that roughly 85 percent of the Americans assigned to ATIS were Nisei (second generation Japanese Americans), many of whom were recruited directly from internment camps in the U.S. This program is free and open to the public.

I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward. Charlotte Bronte, English author (born this date in 1816, died in 1855)

School Building is 100 years old

Cornerstone Laying for New St. Johns School

Rev. Father Rupert is completing arrangements for laying of the cornerstone of the new St. Johns parochial school which is to take place next Monday, May 20, when Right Reverend Joseph Schrembs, bishop of diocese of Toledo, will be here to conduct the services. A large number of members of the Catholic clergy of this part of the state will be present to assist at the services. Among the visiting priests who will be here are: Very Rev. Bonifas Russ of Carthagena, Rev. Father Waechter of Van Wert, Rev. J.B. Weis, Paulding, Rev. John Baumgartner, Payne, Rev. J.B. Mertes, Ottoville, Rev. Nicholas Gerwert, Ottoville, Rev. M. Arnoldi, Ft. Jennings, Rev. Henry Wiechman, Cloverdale, Rev. Thos. Kolb, New Bavaria, Rev. John Tennison, Holgate, Rev. Albert Zemp, New Cleveland, Rev. Edmund Widmer, Miller City, Rev. A.E. Manning, Lima and Rev. Carl Alter, Lima. Bishop Schrembs will administer confirmation to a class of 473 children and 38 converts, Monday morning, and the cornerstone laying will take place at 2:30. Appropriate and impressive services will be carried out and the members of the various church societies are invited to attend. The West Side Cadet band will be present to furnish music. Rev. Father Rupert is preparing historical documents which will be placed in the cornerstone. The documents will be on parchment and will contain the names of the President and Vice President of the United States, Governor of Ohio, also other national and state officials, the present city officials and names of the different church societies, the church councilmen, the building committee, the pupils now attending the parochial schools and others. Copies of the issues of the Herald and Courant containing this article will be included in the papers placed in the cornerstone as will copies of a number of Catholic publications. These papers will be placed in a copper box, 8 1/2 in long, 5 in. high and 4 1/2 in. wide, which will be securely sealed and so arranged that they will be preserved for many years. The work of erecting the new school is now progressing nicely under the direction of Rev. Father Rupert. J.H. Beckmann is overseeing the work. The brick has been laid up to the water tables of the first floor and a good idea of the beautiful appearance of the walls when completed can be gained. The brick, which is of several different shades, is laid in brown mortar and produces a very pretty wall light brown in color. The exterior ornamental work will be of stone and very rich in design. Practically all the steel for the new building is now on the ground and the fact that 275 tons of steel will be used will give some idea of the solidity and durability of the structure when completed. Men are at work placing the steel for both the first and second floors. A solid steel frame is being put up and the school is being built on the plan now being used in the large business blocks in the cities, which does away with the danger of placing too much strain on brick walls. This steel work rests upon a heavy cement foundation which is without a question the most substantial foundation in the city of Delphos. Rev. Father Rupert, to whom is due the credit for this great work now in progress, has erected many schools and church edifaces in the years he has spent in the priesthood. This foundation which was built last fall is of heavy reenforced concrete. The rooms in the basement will be twelve feet in height and include two large play and meeting rooms, about 85 x 46 feet, the one on the north for the girls and the one on the south for the boys. In addition the basement will contain furnace and fuel rooms and a plenum chamber, where the air will be heated. Stairways leading from the basement on the outside of the building will be provided on the north and south. The main entrance to the building will be from Pierce Street and will be spacious and ornamental with stone work. The cornerstone will be at the northwest corner of the building. The first floor will contain twelve rooms, also two others that may be used as school rooms if desired. Each school room will be provided with a cloak room. A large and well arranged auditorium, with stage and dressing rooms will be located on the second floor. This room will seat 900 people comfortably and will have twentyseven feet of exit as required by the state. The auditorium will make an ideal place for the holding of church socials and other meetings of church societies, etc. In addition to the auditorium, two school rooms and toilet rooms will be located on the second floor. The large amount of steel being used in the building coupled with the heavy foundation and substantial walls will constitute a building that should last for hundreds of years. The floors will be of tiling and a large amount of this material is now on the ground. No wood is being used and the school will be as near fireproof as it is possible to erect a building of this kind. This large temple of learning, which will be 157x95 ft. and will be one of the most beautiful and substantial schools in the state and every citizen of Delphos should feel proud of it when completed. As near as possible all the work is being done locally and the building will be erected at a much lower cost than an ordinary building of this kind, Rev. Father Ruperts experience in this work being a great asset to the building fund. Delphos Herald, May 14, 1912 ---------Ohio Street and Extension Completed Ohio street and the extension of that street to the forks have been opened to traffic after having been closed for some days because of improvement work which the Van Wert County Commissioners had under way. The road has been converted into a paved highway. It was first scarified and rolled, after which a three-inch base of heavy stone was laid and a top consisting of two courses of tar with screenings rolled in was applied. The road was opened to traffic Wednesday morning. It had been practically completed by that time although the work of rolling the surface was still underway. The roller will be brought back to Delphos after the road has been in use for a short time and the surface will again be rolled. The surface placed on this road is similar to that which was placed on the Lincoln Highway, west of Delphos. An excellent roadway is provided and this will be further improved as it becomes worn down by traffic. The improvement extends from the Pennsylvania railroad to the forks. It will be greatly appreciated as this road was in bad condition. This portion of the road is subject to heavy traffic as all three of the roads which meet from the west and south at the forks are much traveled. Delphos Herald, July 1, 1925 ---------Three Children En Route to Homes in Indiana Miss Mary Klieber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Klieber, of Delphos, who has been a nurse at the New York Foundling Hospital, 175 East 68th street, New York City, since a year ago last March, arrived here Friday night from that city, having in charge three children from the institution that she will place in good homes in Indiana. Miss Klieber is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Holdgreve, west First street, with the children and expects to leave on Monday for Indiana

One Year Ago The Delphos Union Bank Relay for Life team were to host the ninth annual Trivia Challenge Friday at the Delphos Eagles Lodge on Fifth Street. Last years winners, The Delphos Herald Headliners, included team members Tiffany Brantley, Jay Spencer, Leslie Hoffman, Chuck Brantley, Roger Gossman, Nancy Spencer, Ron Hoffman, Elaine Suever, Ron Miller and June Miller. 25 Years Ago 1962 A split rail fence zig-zags for about 250 feet along what was once known as Ricker Road but is now officially Road 21 in Putnam County. Philip Ricker recalled the story about how his grandfather, John Ricker, came to the location southwest of Fort Jennings from Glandorf with his brothers before the turn of the century. This was before there was any fence or any sawmill stood there. Dave Alt and Dave Ostendorf accomplished what they set out to do at the Boston Marathon Monday. Each finished around three hours and received a certificate and medallion for participating in the 90th running of the famed race. Alt finished in 3:07:38. Ostendorf completed the race in 3:09. St. Johns girls placed tenth out of 16 teams at the Minister Invitational. St. Johns scored 15. St. Johns points came with Bev Fishers second-place finish in the discus with a throw of 1082. Liz Wrocklage scored the remaining points with a third-place finish in the 100 hurdles in a time of 16.6 and she also placed sixth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.8 50 Years Ago 1962 The Delphos Junior Chamber of Commerce will conduct its 1962 teenage safe driving Road-E-O May 6 at Pangles Master Market parking lot, according to Jerry Backus, president of the local Jaycees. The local boy and girl will each be presented with plaques by the Standard Oil Company (Ohio). Lula Bell Hough, who has spent more than 30 years as a missionary in Hong Kong and was for six months a prisoner of the Japanese government during World War II, will speak at the regular morning services Sunday at the First Assembly of God Church, it has been announced by the Rev. Warren J. Campbell, pastor. With the coming of improved weather conditions the 1962 golf season for the Ladies Golfing Association of the Delphos Country Club will soon get underway. Mrs. Ken Parkinson and Mrs. Jack Whitaker are co-chairmen for the program. Mrs. A. J. Meyer and Mrs. Arthur Grone will be in charge of handicaps; Mrs. Oren Brenneman will be in charge of the August tournament; Mrs. Louis F. Hiett is chairman of publicity and Mrs. Wiecher is rules chairman. 75 Years Ago 1937 At a meeting of business men held in the council chamber at the city building Tuesday night, it was unanimously decided to close the stores in Delphos on Thursday afternoons during the summer months. Lloyd Foley was named as chairman of the meeting and presided Tuesday night. It was decided to put the plan into effect for the first time April 29. The Delphos retail stores will be closed at noon on that day. In a pitchers battle which was featured by a total of 38 strikeouts, St. Johns High and Fort Jennings High School battled to a 1-1 tie at Waterworks Park Tuesday night. Lang and Ditto did mound duty for the Blue and Gold and Joe Mack went the route for the visitors. The Delphos service department has completed the placing of 16 school traffic signs at the various school buildings in the city. The signs are made in the shape of a traffic policeman with caution signs warning motorists to drive slow while in the school zone. Mayor W. H. Taylor, Chief of Police Glenn Ditto and Service Director A. E. Weger have been attempting to place some sort of warning signs at the various schools for the past three years.

FDA: Gulf seafood safe despite oil spill concerns

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON Photos of fish with sores may raise concern about long-term environmental effects of the massive BP oil spill but federal health officials say the Gulf seafood thats on the market is safe to eat. After all, diseased fish arent allowed to be sold, said Dr. Robert W. Dickey, who heads the Food and Drug Administrations Gulf Coast Seafood Laboratory. Its important to emphasize that were talking about a low percentage of fish, Dickey stressed. It doesnt represent a seafood safety hazard. Two years after the oil spill, scientists cite lesions and other deformities in some Gulf fish as a sign of lingering environmental damage. They cant say for sure whats causing the fish ailments or if there really are more sick fish today than in the past. As marine biologists study the threats to the fish, here are some questions and answers about the safety of seafood: Q: What keeps sick fish off the market? A: Every wholesaler and seafood processor must follow longstanding FDA rules on what constitutes a safe and usable catch. Fish with lesions or signs of parasites or other disease arent allowed, Dickey said. Q: What about oil contamination thats not visible? A: Federal and state laboratories tested more than 10,000 fish, shrimp and other animals for traces of certain chemicals in oil to be sure they were far below levels that could make anyone sick before commercial fishing ever was allowed to resume. Gulf Coast states are continuing that testing today as a precaution. Some species clear oil contaminants from their bodies more rapidly than others, the reason that fishing resumed before the oyster harvest. The FDA says that someone could eat 9 pounds of fish or 5 pounds of oyster meat a day for five years and still not reach the levels of concern for a key set of chemicals. Q: But what about the oil compounds that scientists have reported finding in the bile of some fish? A: Bile shows what a fish recently ate, but the fishs digestive system goes on to process and eliminate contaminants so they dont build up in edible tissue, Dickey said. Q: Are there other reasons to pay attention to seafood safety? A: Definitely. A California company recently recalled some yellowfin tuna used to make sushi because it was linked to an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning. And every year, health officials warn people with certain health conditions to avoid eating raw oysters they may be contaminated with the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria that typically is found in warm coastal waters between April and October.

to place them in homes. The eldest, Francis Sheenhan, is a boy of 6 years and the other two are girls, Rosie Moran and Mary Dupun, aged about 2 1/2 years. The boy and last named baby will be adopted into good homes in Bloomington, Ind., while the other child goes to Bedford, Ind. They were reared in the Foundling Hospital from birth and homes were found for them by one of the agents of the institution. Miss Klieber and an assistant have charge of 65 children at the Hospital, only 25 of them being old enough to walk, they are called runarounds. At the present time there are 635 children in the institution of various ages, and homes are found every day for the little charges, while their places are taken by new ones - infant children whose parents are unable to care for them, and others that are born under unfortunate circumstances. The Hospital is a Catholic institution, founded by a Sister of Charity. It has established a great work for humanity, thousands of Gods unfortunate children finding homes through it. The children here in charge of Miss Klieber are exceptionally bright for their ages.

Lady Knights belt Kalida in softball

By Brian Bassett Times Bulletin Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin.com

CONVOY - It took some time for the Crestview Lady Knight bats to get started Friday night when they hosted the Kalida Lady Wildcats but they fought themselves out of an early 2-run deficit to claim an 11-4 non-conference victory. With cloudy skies threatening throughout the game, Crestview fell behind 2-0 in the top of the second inning and it looked as if Kalida would have a successful night at the plate. Catcher Kaylyn Verhoff led off the visitor second with a double and came around to score on an RBI single by leftfielder Erika Brinkman. Shortstop Julia Vandermark then brought Brinkman in to score with an RBI single to give Kalida a 2-0 lead. The Lady Knights responded in the home half of the second with three runs to take the lead. Shortstop Danica Hicks started things off with a 1-out walk and advanced to third when catcher MacKenzie Riggenbach reached on error. Pitcher Leigha Taylor then helped her cause with an infield hit which scored Hicks and Riggenbach. Rightfielder Morgan McClure then picked up an infield hit which scored Taylor to give Crestview a 3-2 lead after two complete. Taylor settled in in the third inning for the Lady Knights, holding the Lady Cats scoreless for the next three innings. After a scoreless third, the Crestview offense put a pair of runs on the board in the fourth. McClure singled to lead off the frame and centerfielder McKenzie Nofer followed with an infield hit. Shortstop Taylor Hamrick also picked up an infield hit, which scored McClure, and Nofer scored when second baseman Madison Etzler reached on error. The Lady Knights took a 5-2 lead to head to the fifth inning. Crestview added to its 3-run lead in the bottom half of the fifth. Taylor reached on error with one out and

McClure plated her with a triple down the right-field line. Nofer plated McClure with when she hit into a fielders choice. Holly Genth - who entered at shortstop in the fourth inning - then doubled and scored when Hamrick followed suit. The damage was three runs in the inning, which ran the Crestview lead to 8-2. Kalida finally answered in the top of the sixth inning. First baseman Andrea Bellmann picked up a 1-out infield single and centerfielder Kayla Siefker followed with an RBI double. Third baseman Mariah Doepker then plated Bellmann with an RBI single and Siefker scored on a wild pitch. The 2-run spurt brought the Lady Wildcats within four heading into the bottom of the sixth. Crestview tacked on three insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth. Danica Hicks singled and Riggenbaugh sacrifice bunted her to second. Taylor walked and McClure singled home Hicks. Nofer then plated Taylor on another infield single and McClure came in to score when first baseman Kirstin Hicks was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The three runs gave Crestview the final 11-4 lead. Taylor picked up the win for Crestview. She went all seven innings, while allowing four runs - all earned. She surrendered 11 hits. Emily Schnipke took the loss for the LadyCats. She pitched six innings, allowing 11 runs - 10 earned. She allowed 14 hits, while walking seven, hitting a batter with a pitch and striking out six. McClure led the Lady Knights at the plate on the evening. She went 4-4 with a triple, three RBIs and three runs scored. Verhoff led the LadyCats by going 3-4 with a double and run scored. Kalida hosts Van Buren and Patrick Henry for a twinbill at noon today. Crestview (12-6) host St. Marys in doubleheader action.

MARIA STEIN Pitching was a concern coming into the 2012 baseball season for the St. Johns nine, having seen the graduation of a number of the key mound crew and with head coach Dan Metzger needing so many first-time varsity hurlers to fill in. Through the first 15 games, that has not been an issue. Senior Cody Kundert ran his record to 5-0 with another solid outing on a windy Friday night at Flyer Field in Maria Stein, scattering three hits in pacing the Blue Jays to an 8-2 Midwest Athletic Conference triumph over host Marion Local. Kundert tossed 104 pitches (59 strikes), walking two and fanning seven, in his complete game by mixing his arsenal of pitches up in the heavy wind. He had them all working: fastball, changeup and breaking ball. It was tough to throw the breaking ball with the heavy cross wind, Metzger said. He was high with it to start but then got control and kept it down. He had good movement on his off-speed pitches and he really kept them off-balance with good location and changing speeds. Fellow senior Austin Reindel had the big blow, a 2-run home run. The Jays jumped on Flyer starter Craig Niekamp (4 1/3 innings, 6 hits, 7 runs, 6 earned, 5 bases-on-balls, 2 Ks) in the top of the first. With one out, Curtis Geise walked and stole second. Troy Warnecke (2-for4) chopped a single up the middle that shortstop Jordan Riethman kept on the infield

Unverferth holds down hot Bulldog bats

By Dave Boninsegna The Delphos Herald zsportslive@yahoo.com KALIDA The Kalida Wildcats had the daunting task of taking on the Columbus Grove Bulldogs in baseball action a day after the Dogs put up 42 runs on the Ada Bulldogs. However, the Cats were able to keep their Putnam County League foes not only out of double digits but out of the win column as well with a 6-3 victory at Holy Name Ballpark. Nick Guisinger had the big blow for the hosts, driving a 2-2 bases-loaded double. It was the only hit of the game for Guisinger but a 4-RBI afternoon led the Wildcats to the win. Tyler Heitmeyer went 2-for-4 and Kevan Unverferth had a 2-for-3 night at the plate. Paul Utendorf pitched a complete game, giving up just three runs and five hits, striking out five and walking only two. Zach Barrientes went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Kody Grifffin 1-for-2 with a pair of RBIs for the Bulldogs. Both teams got on the board in the first. Blake Hoffman led off the game with a walk and scored on a Barrientes double, giving the Dogs a 1-0 lead. Kalida answered right back in their half of the first when Neil Recker did as his leadoff counterpart did, drawing a base-on-balls. Recker moved to second on an error, to third on a groundout and scored on a Guisinger sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1-1. Heitmeyer hit a 2-out triple and scored on an Unverferth single, making it a 2-1 game in favor of the Wildcats. The game stayed that way until the fourth when the Bulldogs led off with three consecutive hits: a Barrientes single, a Brady Schafer double and a Griffith 2-run hit; giving the guests a 3-2 lead. Kalida tied the game up in the fifth when Recker walked for the second time in the game, Utendorf followed with a bunt single and Unverferth drove home Recker two outs later to knot the game at 3-3. Utendorf set down 11 of the last 12 batters he faced. The turning point for the Wildcats came in the bottom of the sixth after the first two batters were retired. Conner

but put runners on the corners. Warnecke stole second. Isaac Klausing bounced out to short to bring Geise home for the first run. Reindel walked but the next batters was retired to keep it at a 1-0 lead, St. Johns. The Flyers (7-9, 1-3 MAC) had a chance to cut into the deficit in the second but some heads-up Blue Jay defense did them in. Niekamp began with a walk. An out later, Troy Homan (2-for-3) drilled a double down the left-field line; a perfect Ryan Buescherto-Geise-to-Reindel connection nailed Niekamp at home. Adam Bertke got aboard via an error but alert second baseman Ryan Densel caught Homan too far off third; the senior ran straight at the runner and got him in a rundown, with the Flyer getting tagged out for the third out. The Jays made it 5-0 in the third, sending nine to the dish. Tanner Calvelage (2-for-3) beat out an infield hit to the hole at short, burgled second and, after Geise walked, scored as Warnecke slapped a hard grounder that just ticked off the glove of first sacker Nate Hess and into right field, with Geise taking third. Klausing was plunked to load the bases and, one out after, Jordan Bergfeld slapped a liner to center that got Geise and Warnecke in for a 4-0 edge; an error on the play allowed Klausing to end up at third, from where he scored on an errant pickoff play for a 5-0 spread. Bergfeld ended up at third and Kundert second after he was hit with two outs but they were left on base. Marion left a runner Riethman on with two down in the home third. Calvelage walked to com-

mence the fourth but was caught stealing by Kyle Mescher. Danny Liette hit a deep fly down the right-field line with two down in the fourth but Jays rightfielder Andrew Metzger tracked it down at the warning track. The Jays made it 7-0 in the fifth. Klausing led off with a grounder up the middle and then Reindel took the first pitch the opposite way to right field, hitting it well; with the wind blowing toward the corner, rightfielder Adam Bertke ran out of real estate as the orb cleared the fence for a 2-run round-tripper and a 7-0 edge. An out later, Ryan Buescher walked, with Niekamp replaced on the mound by Riethman. He got the next two outs to preserve the 7-run deficit. We started off slowly against Bath Wednesday but got rolling late. We started out well tonight, Metzger continued. Were getting more consistent with our approach at the plate. We had that big inning in the third because we strung some hits together. Then Austin hit his shot in the fifth. Overall, I am pleased with our progress at the plate and how much we are improving overall. Calvelage again singled to the same spot as in the third for an infield hit to open the sixth but was doubled-up on a grounder by Geise. Marion got a run in the sixth on an infield hit by Dylan Thobe, a wild pitch, an error on a strikeout in the dirt and another error on the sequence that allowed Thobe to score. St. Johns turned a double play to keep the damage to one run. The Blue Jays made it 8-1 in the seventh by utiliz-

ing five pinch-hitters. Alex Wehri led it off with a shot to left and, two outs later, Josh Rode slugged a double to deep left to get him home. The hosts scored their final run in the home half on an infield hit, a stolen base and an error. Bertkes groundout scored Liette. We had some great defense in the early going, especially two big plays in the second inning. That kept them from scoring early and those are big momentum plays, Metzger added. Andrew made a big catch on that deep shot in the fourth, another big momentum play. The seventh inning, we had a lapse. That is something we can address and talk about, how we have to play to the final out. The Jays host Van Wert for a doubleheader beginning 11 a.m. today.

Panthers rout Lady Dawgs

ROCKFORD The Parkway softball team won its 13th game of the season Friday night in a 11-2 victory over invading Elida. Kylie Snyder earned the pitching win and helped herself at the plate with a single, triple and three runs batted in. Sierra Fent added a double, a home run and two RBIs. Lindsey Walls had a single and a double as the Lady Panthers had 12 hits. Jenn Eilerman led Elida (4-10) with her sixth straight

LIMA When Limaland Motorsports Park began its 2012 season Friday night on the famed 1/4-mile oval, its leaders were ready for more of the same as has been the case in the past decade and a half: lots of exciting racing for its ever-burgeoning fan base. General Manager/ Promoter Bob Fricke is among those that believes you dont change a winning product. We really dont have any

those events. We have found this a successful formula. We focus on being very family-friendly, especially with the economy the way it is. For example, we have not raised ticket prices in the last eight years: 10 and under is still free, 11-15 is $6 and everyone else is $12. Where else can you still get a dollar hot dog? We have worked to keep concessions reasonable and fans appreciate that. We get feedback all the time. In the 15 years that the Jarvises have owned the facility, Fricke noted some of the changes that have been made, such as new concessions, VIP and hospitality seating and other enhancements. Still, the core of the product is the racing and that remains a hot commodity, according to Fricke. For example, we have had some major racing stars race here in the past, like

Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne last year in the World of Outlaws. Were hoping they return and it looks good that they will; they enjoy these events, he added. We also are scheduled to have Kenny Schrader and Kenny Wallace, two more major racing stars, racing this year on June 8. We have increased our points and our payouts for the drivers. The situation is such that you never really know who will show up but I constantly field phone calls from drivers all over, especially the Midwest, that are interested in coming to drive.

The Herald 7

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FISHING CENTRAL OHIO Delaware Lake (Delaware County) - This 1,017-acre lake north of Columbus provides excellent crappie fishing. Fish the primary points of the old creek channel using jig and minnows suspended by a float around woody cover; Move shallower as water temperatures warm. White bass should migrate up the Whetstone creek and Olentangy river arms of the reservoir in early May as water temperatures continue to warm. Largemouth bass can be caught on tubes and other plastics around woody cover and primary points. Hoover Reservoir (Delaware/ Franklin counties) - As lake water temperatures warm, crappies should move from deep water into shallower water. Target creek channels with wood that are close to shallower water; try jigs and minnows around submerged timber. Saugeye are located by the dam in good numbers right now; use plastics or crankbaits fished close to the bottom for best results. White bass should be moving up the creeks in early May if the weather continues to warm; try plastic jigs and spinners for good action. NORTHWEST OHIO Nettle Lake (Williams County) - This is 115 acres in size with 3.8 miles of shoreline; most shoreline is privately-owned, which limits public access. A public boat ramp is located off CR 4.75 at the southwest corner of the lake. Anglers should have good luck this time of year fishing for crappies; try under the privately-owned boat docks from a boat. Anglers should also try for crappie using minnows along the edges in the emerging lily pads. This lake has some unique boating regulations that anglers need to be aware of. There is no horsepower limit; however, between 6 p.m. and 10 a.m., boats must operate at an idle speed. Between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., there are no speed restrictions. Pleasant Hill Reservoir (Richland-Ashland County line) With 781 acres of water and 13 miles of shoreline, this site located next to Mohican State Forest, 2 miles southwest of Perrysville has plenty to offer. The boat ramp and marina are located on Covert Road, right off SR 95. Crappie should be biting this time of year and the white bass should be making a spawning run up the Clear Fork River; try fishing for crappie along the rocky ledge on the southern shore near the southern bend and in the small coves along the southern part of the reservoir. Findlay Reservoir #2 (Hancock County) - This site 629 acres in size with 4.2 miles of shoreline is located southwest of Findlay on Township Road 207. There is a full boat ramp at the southern shore; depth of the reservoir ranges from 18-37 feet. Spring is usually an excellent time to target fish along the shoreline; fishing from a boat usually offers the best success. Excellent numbers of yellow perch and white bass can be found, along with good numbers of crappie and walleye; try casting jigs and tubes into the windward shore for walleye this month. There is a 9.9-HP limit. NORTHEAST OHIO North East Ohio Lakes - Despite cold temperatures, the bass fishing has been quietly warming up; good catches of largemouths have been reported in many lakes, including Mogadore, Wingfoot, Springfield and several Portage Lakes reservoirs. With water temperatures in the low 50s, cold-water presentations such as jerkbaits, jigs and vibees have been key. With temperatures on the climb again, the bite has really picked up; look for soft plastics, spinnerbaits and rattlebaits to start to shine in the next few weeks. Trout Stockings: Silver Creek Lake (Summit County), Forest Hill Pond and Shadow Lake (Cuyahoga County) and Mill Creek Lake (Mahoning County) - The listed bodies of water were stocked with rainbow trout ranging from 10-13 inches. Fishing is permitted for people of all ages. Popular trout baits include maggots, wax and red worms, trout dough baits, minnows and spinners. See directions on the web site (www.dnr.state/oh.us/) to these locations. SOUTHEAST OHIO Wolf Run Lake (Noble County) - The crappie bite should be starting to pick up at this 220-acre lake near Caldwell; try small spinners in 6-8 feet of water around submerged structure. Structure location is marked with orange paint along the shore. Salt Fork Lake (Guernsey County) - Now is the perfect time to fish for crappie around submerged

brush piles and structure using pink and chartreuse twister tails tipped with a minnow; most are in the 9to 10-inch range but fish up to 14 inches can be found. The Morning Glory Ramp toward the dam and at the covered bridge is usually successful. Spring fishing for saugeye is best near the beach or shallow flats using twisters, stick or blade baits. Muskie fishing should also be kicking into gear; try trolling shallow crankbaits near the shore at 10 feet or less. SOUTHWEST OHIO Adams Lake (Adams County) - Anglers are catching trout by using wax worms, Berkley Power Bait or corn; cast into areas with submerged trees and brush and keep the bait about 2-3 feet deep. C. J. Brown Reservoir (Clark County) - Walleye fishing continues to improve. Try early-morning boat-angling fishing jigs tipped with a nightcrawler over the mid-lake humps and in the north end; remember there is a 15-inch minimum size limit and daily bag limit of 6. Bluegill can be caught around the rocky shorelines of the dam and the marina, as well as the wooden piling structures near the boat ramp and campground; use wax or red worms under a bobber. Anglers can still catch white bass along the rocky shorelines; try using small spinners, jigs, or minnows. Indian Creek Wildlife Area (Brown County) - Try your luck on bluegill and sunfish using red, earth or wax worms about 2-3 feet deep. The Family Fishing Pond is best and is marked and accessible from Campbell Road. Tawawa Lake (Shelby County) - Located near Sidney, this 4-acre site (no boats allowed) was stocked with rainbow trout ranging from 10-13 inches Thursday; try fishing for trout with maggots, wax and red worms, trout dough baits, minnows and spinners. Davis Lake (Auglaize County) - Rainbow trout, measuring 10-13 inches, was stocked Thursday. This 13-acre lake, owned by the City of St. Marys, is located at the Solid Waste and Recycling Center, 15500 River Rd. Hours of operation will be during daylight only. A fishing license is required and will be from the shoreline only; no boats are allowed. The statewide bag limit of five trout per day will apply. OHIO RIVER Cincinnati area and Clermont County - Anglers are reporting some success in the tributaries on worms as well as twister tails tipped with minnows; catches are mostly bluegill and white bass. Greenup Dam Area - Hybridstriped bass are always a favorite catch this time of year; minnows and jigs with pearl flukes are usually the most popular baits and can be used successfully to catch a nicesized fish. For those more interested in sauger, saugeye or walleye, try using a 3-inch flathead chartreuse jig. Meldahl Pool Area - Sauger can be caught in the early morning and later in the evening when the temperatures are a little cooler; a simple minnow should be sufficient. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: Walleye: The daily bag limit on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 4 through April 30; the minimum size limit is 15 inches. On May 1, the limit returns to 6 fish per angler. --Yellow Perch: The daily bag limit is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. --- Steelhead: The limit is 2 fish per angler with a minimum size limit of 12 inches. --- Lake Erie Black Bass (largemouth and smallmouth): The limit is 5 fish and a minimum size limit of 14 inches through April 30. It is illegal to possess black bass in Ohio waters of Lake Erie after May 1 through June 29. Walleye fishing was good through the past weekend. Anglers trolling around the reefs and outer buoys of the Camp Perry firing range, near Crib Reef and D-can have had success with crankbaits in the top 15 feet of water; deep husky jerks, deep rogues and reef runners at 20-60 feet back at 1.01.5 miles per hour are working best. Jig fishing has slowed after the wind storms this weekend but has been best along the shoreline from Davis-Besse to Turtle Creek and on some of the reefs in the Camp Perry firing range, especially Crib Reef and Locust Reef. ... Yellow Perch: some have been caught near the Marblehead Lighthouse to the southeast corner of Kelleys Island; perch-spreaders or crappie rigs with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. ... The water temperature is 50 degrees off of Toledo and 46 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. ... Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guardapproved personal flotation device while boating.

Biffle re-energized, on top early in NASCAR season

By STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press Greg Biffle roared through the early stages of his NASCAR career. Biffle gave Jack Roush his first NASCAR season title in 2000 by winning the Trucks Series, two years after he was the rookie of the year. Then came the natural progression to the Nationwide Series, where Biffle won another rookie of the year award and followed immediately with the 2002 season championship before moving up again. A decade later, Biffle is still trying to become the first driver to complete the NASCAR title trio. This could finally be the year for the re-energized Biffle, who is coming off a victory at Texas that reinforced his standing as the early-season Sprint Cup points leader. When I moved from the Trucks Series to Nationwide, it was a huge step. It was much, much harder. And when I moved from the Nationwide to the Cup Series, I had no idea that the competition was going to be what it was, Biffle said. I knew it was going to be hard. But this year is my year. Biffles fifth top-5 finish in seven races this season came in the fastest Cup race ever in Texas and snapped his 49-race winless drought. With only two early cautions and 234 consecutive green-flag laps to end the race, he got a big boost in the pits from crew chief Matt Puccia and the rest of his team at the 1 1/2-mile, highbanked track. That gives me huge confidence, Biffle said. I know that from about the third race, that these guys, the guys that Matt had put together, we kind of held the handcuffs on them a little bit last year until we got to the end of the season, and he revamped the entire team over the winter. I really, really like my guys. Puccia, who like Biffle worked his way up through the Roush organization, replaced Greg Erwin midway through last season. The No. 16 Roush Fenway Ford had its only three poles of the season after that but wasnt enough to keep Biffle from finishing 16th in points, his worst since 2004 in his second full Cup season. That guy, I promise you, if anybody can take me to winning a championship, its Matt Puccia, Biffle said. He never gives up, never leaves a rock unturned. They started this season with third-place finishes in each of the first three races, taking over the points lead after the third race in Las Vegas. A pair of 13th-place finishes are the only ones outside the top six. It was really an unusual thing when we went after the team the way we did last year and said, you know, we just got great people but theyre not just working together as well as they need to and we need to organize ourselves differently, Jack Roush said after the Texas victory. Thats a rarity that we do that. But that certainly was the key to getting the momentum that weve got going right now. Biffle is certainly off to a much better start than last season, when the same opening 3-race stretch set the tone for a frustrating season. There was a 35th-place finish at Daytona, before finishing 20th at Phoenix and 28th at Las Vegas. This weeks Cup race is in Kansas, where Biffle had last won before Saturday night in the Lone Star State. He has gone to Victory Lane twice in Kansas with eight top-10 finishes in the 11 previous races at the 1 1/2-mile track. Even though Biffle hasnt won a Cup season title, the Bump Day, the second and final 42-year-old driver has had qualifying round May 20, when success on NASCARs high- non-qualified cars attempt to knock other qualified cars out of est level. The win in the field and that the field Texas was his 17th in could even grow beyond the Cup Series. 34 cars before qualificaIn 2005, Biffle won tions end. six times and had 15 Bryan Herta top-5 finishes.

Wheldon. This year, the team
has been hampered in part by its alliance with Lotus, which is admittedly trailing Chevrolet and Honda in both production and power. A lack of available engines also has prevented Lotus teams from many test sessions and none could participate earlier this month in the open test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Newgarden says contact caused Turn 1 crash: Josef Newgarden has watched replays of his failed attempt to pass Dario Franchitti in Turn 1 at Long Beach and is certain hed do nothing differently. The 21-year-old rookie from Nashville started on the front of Sundays race next to the 4-time IndyCar champion and made a bold move to pass Franchitti on the outside. It was a narrow passing zone to begin with and Newgarden wound up in a tire barrier in a race-ending crash. I have seen it. Ive seen all the angles now and I feel the same way I felt in the car I wouldnt do anything differently, Newgarden told The Associated Press. I think it was a good legitimate move; the way I executed it just didnt work out. Why it didnt work out is up for debate. Franchitti said after the race he didnt believe he made contact with Newgarden and IndyCar race director Beaux Barfield explained officials found replays inconclusive. But Newgarden, who won five races last season while claiming the Indy Lights championship, is confident Franchitti did hit him. He seemed understanding

Indianapolis 500 will start with 34 cars entered INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis traditional 33-car starting grid seems safe, for now. There could even be some bumping on qualifying weekend. On Thursday, last years 500 runner-up, JR Hildebrand, drove up in a Hummer to personally deliver the 34-car entry list one more than necessary -- to speedway CEO Jeff Belskus just inside the tracks main gate. Some in the IndyCar community are concerned that this years switch to new cars and new engines could jeopardize the traditional 3-car, 11-row grid for the May 27 race. Its the biggest starting field on this seasons 16-race schedule. Still, theres no guarantee 33 cars will start the race. Only 30 drivers have been announced, including USAC star Bryan Clauson who will drive the No. 39 car for Sarah Fishers team. The official announcement came less than an hour after track officials released the entry list. Ed Carpenter Racing, Rahal Letterman Lanigan, Sam Schmidt Motorsports and Newman/Haas Racing each have one car with no assigned driver. One potential obstacle could be money. Low-budget teams that have relied on less-costly used parts in recent years may not have that option this year and the open cars are still trying to find enough sponsorship to make it worth putting someone in the cockpit. An even bigger problem, though, might be finding enough crew members for the race. I think we are dealing with some limited resources, Belskus said. But its not so much the lack of engines as it is the people who work it all out. Crashes could create chaos, too. Last May, Chinese driver Ho-Pin Tung crashed on the last of his four qualifying laps and never got another chance to make the race. It happens, especially with teams that cannot afford backup cars or if drivers are not medically cleared in time to get back into the cockpit. But Belskus downplayed the speculation, insisting there would be plenty of action on

with IndyCars explanation that officials couldnt see anything definitive that warranted penalizing Franchitti. Newgarden and Franchitti spoke Monday, the day after the race, at an appearance for all Honda drivers. Newgarden declined to reveal what was discussed. What Newgarden lacks in IndyCar experience he more than makes up for with confidence in himself and his Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing team. He impressed veterans with his poise in the season-opening race at St. Petersburg and has quickly adapted to IndyCar after only three race weekends. He just missed out on advancing to the Fast Six round of qualifying at Long Beach, a slip he blames on himself for being too comfortable after posting such a fast lap in the first session. Because all the Chevrolet drivers were penalized for engine changes, Newgarden was moved up to the front row at the start, next to Franchitti. Newgarden joked after qualifying hed probably try to pass Franchitti at the start because the champion wouldnt be expecting it and says now calling his shot had nothing to do with how the attempted pass ended. And he downplays any discussion that the move officially announced his arrival much like a young Juan Pablo Montoya famously did when he refused to lift off the gas in a race to the finish with veteran Michael Andretti or that Sundays move was an attempt to introduce Newgarden as the bold young American who wont back down to veterans. Still, its not been lost on anyone that on the restart following Newgardens crash, Justin Wilson successfully passed Franchitti on the outside without incident sparking debate that Franchitti wasnt as rough with a veteran driver. Hamilton fastest in 1st practice in Bahrain SAKHIR, Bahrain Lewis Hamilton edged Sebastian Vettel in the first practice at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Friday. Hamilton clocked 1 minute, 33.572 seconds in his McLaren around the 3.4-mile Bahrain International Circuit, 0.305 seconds quicker than 2-time defending champion Vettel for Red Bull. HRTs Pedro de la Rosa was a surprising third followed by last weeks Chinese GP winner, Nico Rosberg of Mercedes. Hamiltons teammate Jenson Button was fifth, while Vettels teammate Mark Webber was eighth. Ferrari, meanwhile, continued to struggle with Fernando Alonso finishing 13th and Felipe Massa 15th. Most drivers quickly adjusted to the dry and dusty circuit, which is holding an F1 race for the first time in two years. The 2011 race was canceled due to anti-government protests that have left nearly 50 dead. Several drivers, though, went off the track at the tricky turn 10. Timo Glock of Marussia spun out on the first corner but the German quickly recovered. He placed 21st of the 23 cars. Security was tight ahead of the first practice following days of sometimes violent anti-government protests. There were checkpoints on the roads leading to the track, where vehicles undersides were checked with mirrors, and visitors went through body searches and metal detectors. Additional security troops have been deployed around the circuit and across the capital, Manama. There were no signs of protests at the circuit Friday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Provided you know whom to go to and what questions to ask, you can attain certain information critical to your interests. Make sure your game plan is firmly in place. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Someone who hasnt always been in your corner in the past might now wants to back you up. Even if you suspect an ulterior motive, take him or her up on the offer. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- By being a bit adventurous and resourceful, you can advance certain personal ambitions. However, discard what hasnt worked before trying something new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If youre on your toes and have a weather eye open, a unique career opportunity will present itself. It could happen via a chance encounter at a social gathering.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Some extremely valuable information might come your way via two people discussing it in front of you who will be using what they think is their private code.

Its a period when you can make many good things happen. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Decisions based on quickie solutions will likely be too fragile to withstand the test of time. When it comes to something important, base your judgments on enduring, tested factors.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Demanding others to do what you wont or cant do yourself could result in some angry responses if you happen to pick someone who is willing to stand up against you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Letting a misunderstanding between you and your mate linger and fester is asking for additional trouble. The sooner you kiss and make up, the better. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Even if the offender deserves it, dont criticize him or her in front of others if at all possible. Unfortunately, if onlookers dont know what happened, it could make you look bad. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -When it comes to your commercial dealings, take nothing for granted, even the small points. These could be the very issues that could cause a host of trouble. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Instead of insisting that everything go your way, you should strive to be cooperative with the wishes of others. If you dont and something goes wrong, youll have to accept all the blame. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its to your advantage to tell things as they really are, without stretching the facts just to make your story more colorful. Even tiny embellishments could cause trouble. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although normally youre a pretty generous person, you might be hesitant to part with anything of value unless you are guaranteed to get back something in return. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Youll only hamper your chances for success if you do something that you would later regret merely for prides sake. Dont let vanity or presumption get in the way. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you want to have your views respected by others, you must not be close-minded about theirs. Treat what they have to say with due consideration, and your opinions will be given the same courtesy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Be hopeful about what you take on, but by the same token dont depend on Lady Luck to do your bidding. A concerted effort on you part will be required.

NYC missing-boy case creates legal conundrum

By JENNIFER PELTZ and COLLEEN LONG Associated Press NEW YORK For decades, the prominent case of a missing 6-yearold had a prime suspect: an admitted child molester in a Pennsylvania prison. Although the inmate was never criminally charged in Etan Patz 1979 disappearance, he was found responsible in a wrongful-death lawsuit. But investigators on Friday continued tearing up a Manhattan basement linked to someone else, a handyman who was recently reinterviewed by authorities. Through a lawyer, he denied having anything to do with Etans vanishing, which helped turn missing children into a nationwide cause. Authorities said they had yet to find any new evidence as of Friday, and the police commissioner and the FBI said they wouldnt discuss any possible suspects. Its unclear what the renewed probe may turn up, if anything. But if it leads definitively away from Pennsylvania prisoner Jose A. Ramos and to someone else, it could create a legal conundrum: one person held accountable for the boys death in civil court while another became the focus of a criminal case. On Friday, investigators were using jackhammers and saws to carefully break through the basements concrete floor, pulling rubble out and carrying it out of the building with gloved hands, as an anthropologist stood by in case any human remains were found. The debris was to be taken elsewhere and tested, a process that could last into next week, chief police spokesman Paul Browne said. Police were using a chemical that can spotlight traces of blood and expected that X-ray equipment could help them peer behind walls, though some walls were being removed, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

The Wetzel Motorcycle Club recently presented a check to Amy Kuhlman, president of the Ottoville Mothers Club, for the Ottoville Playground Equipment Fundraiser. The Wetzel M.C. is a top tier Diamond Sponsor of this project. The total cost of the new equipment is currently estimated at $87,000 and the Ottoville community has raised over $14,000 to date. Participating in the check presentation are, front from left, Tara Heitmeyer, Brooke Kortokrax, Carson Kuhlman, Lee Walston, Ottoville Mothers Club Vice President Jen Walston and Elyse Walston; and back, Ottoville Mothers Club President Amy Kuhlman, Wetzel Motorcycle Club President Barry Johns and members Keith Herman and Joe Vorst.

Mexico preps shelters as volcano roars, spews ash

MARK STEVENSON Associated Press XALITZINTLA, Mexico The whitecapped volcano that looms over Mexico City emitted a terrifying low-pitched roar Friday and spewed roiling towers of ash and steam as it vented the pressure built up by a massive chamber of magma beneath its slopes. Authorities prepared evacuation routes, ambulances and shelters in the event of a bigger explosion. Even a large eruption of the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) cone of Popocatepetl is unlikely to do more than dump ash on one of the worlds largest metropolitan areas. But the grit could play havoc with Mexico Citys busy airport, and tens of thousands of people in the farming villages on its flanks could be forced to flee. Popo, as its commonly known, has put out small eruptions of ash almost daily since a round of eruptive activity began in 1994. A week ago, the eruptions started growing larger and authorities slightly elevated the alert level for people living nearby. Before dawn on Friday, the mountain moved into what appeared to be a new level of activity, spitting out dozens of ash clouds and shot fragments of glowing rock down its slopes while frightening the residents of surrounding villages with deep roaring not heard in a decade. People in the village of Xalitzintla said they were awakened by a window-rattling

Were hopeful that we can bring some level of comfort to the parents, perhaps find some obviously, the body of this poor child but evidence that may lead to a successful investigation in this case, Kelly said. He was a lieutenant working on organized crime cases when Etan (pronounced AY-tahn) vanished on the first day he was allowed to walk to his school bus stop alone. As for whether authorities were optimistic, he said, I really cant say. The basement is in a building that was on Etans way to the bus stop from the SoHo building where his parents still live. At the time, handyman Othniel Miller, who was friendly with the Patz family, was using the underground space as a workshop. Miller, now 75, is cooperating with investigators and had no involvement in this tragic event, his lawyer, Michael C. Farkas, told journalists gathered outside Millers Brooklyn home on Friday.

series of eruptions. Mexicos National Disaster Prevention Center said one string of eruptions ended in the early morning, then the volcano started up again at 5:05 a.m., with at least 12 eruptions in two hours. Up on the mountain, it feels incredible, said Aaron Sanchez Ocelotl, 45, who was in his turf grass fields when the eruptions happened. It sounds like the roaring of the sea. A 35 million cubic foot (1 million cubic meter) chamber of magma is seething about six miles (8 to 10 kilometers) beneath Popocatepetl, Roberto Quaas, director of the disaster prevention center, said at a news conference laying out emergency preparations. Scientists have no way of predicting whether the molten rock in the chamber will be slowly released, or erupt in a powerful explosion like one on Dec. 18, 2000, that sent up a plume of red-hot rock and forced the evacuation of thousands of people who live at the volcanos base, Quaas said. He compared the volcano to a bottle of champagne: You could take the cork out quickly and all the gaseous material and liquid rushes out suddenly, or it could also happen slowly. However, he said, we know that this lava dome, sooner or later, will be destroyed by internal pressure. Scientists have detected fracturing about 3.5 miles (5 to 6 kilometers) down, accompanied by small earthquakes measuring about 3.4 magnitude, he said.
