Webbing: newest driving distraction

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Although talking on mobile phones and texting while driving remain major concerns on the nations roadways, drivers are also webbing while driving with increasing frequency. This behavior poses greater concerns in the effort to reduce distracted driving. While the distracted driving focus has traditionally been on young people, the data indicate that motorists of all ages are using the mobile web while driving. Ohios texting ban is now in effect and tickets started flowing in March, following a six-month warning period. ORC 4511.204 explicitly describes the law, provisions and penalties of driving while texting. For drivers under the age of 18, texting and the use of cell phones and other portable electronic devices are primary offenses. Fines for adult violators is $150 and for teen violators, $150 and a 60-day suspension of license. For teens with multiple violations, fines top out at $300 with possible loss of drivers license for a year. Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro reports there has been no confirmation of any incidents involving a driver being distracted through the use of an electronic device. Nor have there been any tickets given out for driving while using an electronic device. The law is pretty cut and dried for drivers age 18 and under, Fittro detailed.

LIMA Ohio Logistics returns as the title sponsor of the 25th annual Brad Doty Classic presented by Racing Optics featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Limaland Motorsports Park on July 10. Kerry Madsen won in 2012, Stevie Smith was second, David Gravel third, Greg Wilson and Donny Schatz fifth. Twenty different drivers have won the Classic, with Danny Smith, Steve Kinser and Dale Blaney being the only 2-time winners. The 2013 racing season will mark the 16th year that The University of Northwestern Ohio has owned and operated LMP, which is in its 78th year of hosting racing. This will mark the 12th visit by the WOO Sprint Car Series to what is one of the most highly-regarded tracks on the schedule. In the previous 11 events at the 1/4-mile track, 8 different drivers have visited the winners circle. Tickets are available by calling the LMP ticket hotline (419-998-3199) 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. MondayThursday or visiting www. limaland.com for further information. Tickets are also available at the track box office every Friday night.

Absolutely no electronic devices. It is a primary offense and the juvenile will be stopped and ticketed. Fittro said that on the surface, the new law sounds good but determining the age of a driver who may be texting or webbing is a challenge. With adults, the texting law has quite a few exceptions like using a handheld electronic wireless communications device for emergency purposes; safety-related information, including emergency, traffic, or weather alerts; or data used primarily by the motor vehicle. We cant prove an adult was texting or webbing unless they are honest, Fittro stated. We cant take their device and investigate. In 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted a phone survey of more than 6,000 drivers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The National Survey of Distracted Driving Attitudes and Behavior assessment found that 18 percent of the respondents send text messages while driving and 66-percent said they continued to drive while texting. Results indicate close to 50 percent of drivers under 25 have engaged in texting while driving. Close to 30 percent of the respondents age 21 to 34 said they feel texting has no impact on their driving. Most drivers said they are willing to answer a call and send a text while driving.

Ottawa teen charged with murders

BY ALEX WOODRING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA - The third teen involved in the May 9 Amber Alert who later directed authorities to the bodies of Blake and Blaine Romes has been charged with double aggravated murder, according to a press release from the Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney Office on Friday. The release stated Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney Gary L. Lammers has filed a two-count complaint in the Putnam County Juvenile Court against the 17-year-old alleging delinquency for committing the crime of aggravated murders of 17-year-old Blake Romes and 14-year-old Blaine Romes. Additionally, a motion to transfer has been filed requesting the juvenile court transfer jurisdiction of the case to the Putnam County Common Pleas Court so the teen can be tried as an adult. According to Lammers, one of the brothers had shown signs of strangulation and each brother had been shot once. The accused was apprehended by Columbus Police and told authorities where the bodies of the Romes brothers could be found. The teen was held on a charge of grand theft auto until the more serious charges could be prepared. At this time, no hearing has yet been scheduled to act on the motion to move the case out of juvenile court. See MURDER, page 10

The following is a weekly report concerning construction and maintenance work on state highways within the Ohio Department of Transportation District 1, which includes the counties of Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert and Wyandot. Allen County Interstate 75 Reconstruction Project For the most recent information concerning the Interstate 75 reconstruction project through Lima and Allen County and the safety upgrade of Ohio 117/309 on Limas east side, please visit: www.odotlima75.org Interstate 75 between Fourth Street and Ohio 81 in Lima will have occasional nighttime lane restrictions during reconstruction of the existing lanes of pavement, replacement of mainline bridges and reconstruction of the interchanges. Work began in March 2013 and will continue through fall of 2015. Traffic is maintained two lanes in each direction the majority of the time. Lane restrictions generally occur from 7 p.m. until 10 a.m. the following morning. All ramp entrance and exits are currently available. Ohio 117/309 is one lane in each direction in the eastbound lanes from just west of the Interchange with Interstate 75 to Belmont Avenue (Kmart) during a safety upgrade project which will reconstruct areas of the pavement and install a raised curb median in the center of the roadway. A two-way, left-turn lane begins at Saratoga Avenue. Traffic will remain in this pattern until mid to late summer to allow for work at the interchange at Interstate 75 and on the north side of Ohio 117/309. Ohio 81 from just west of Stewart Road to just west of Neubrecht Road east of Lima is one lane in each direction in the existing eastbound lanes for pavement reconstruction. All ramp movements are currently maintained at the interchange with Interstate 75. Ohio 309 (Elida Road) between Eastown Road and Robb Avenue will be restricted to one lane through the work zone during nighttime hours only for work to extend sections of an existing concrete median curb and to lengthen a turn lane. Work will generally take place between the hours of 9 p.m. until 6:30 a.m. the following day. The existing median curb in both the eastbound and westbound directions will be extended at the intersections of American Avenue, Hartzler Road, Veterans Way and Arthur Avenue, and in the eastbound direction only at Robb Avenue. The project will also extend the eastbound left-turn lane at the west entrance to the Lima Mall at Hartzler Road. The project also includes curb work at the north end of the eastern Lima Mall entrance. The project is expected to be completed in approximately one month.

Very smart animals

(This is a reprint of my earlier articles from 2004. R.H.) The Training of Seizure-Alert Dogs The training of dogs to give warnings of seizures is being pioneered in Britain by a small charity in Seffield, called Support Dogs. The trainer does not think dogs can be trained to recognize the signs of a seizure. They seem to do that naturally when one has a close bond with the owner, she says. But they can be trained to signal more demonstratively so their owner recognizes their warnings. The first successful training of this kind was with Molly, a CollieGerman Shepherd cross. Molly was being taught simply to help her epileptic owner, Lise Margaret. First she was trained to a good level of general obedience. She then learned tasks such as fetching Lise a blanket after a seizure to prevent her from getting too cold and bringing her the telephone. It can be difficult to talk, so now I just press a programmed number and Molly will bark into the phone and friends will know that I need assistance. About 30 minutes before a seizure, Molly begins staring at Lise, We just needed to encourage her to be more demonstrative. Shes very dramatic now she barks and licks. Support Dogs has trained other dogs to alert their owners to oncoming seizures. In the U.S., the training of seizure-alert dogs is being coordinated by the National Service Dog Center of the Delta Society. They also are helping to raise awareness among the public of service dogs in general. Forebodings of Sudden Death The reactions of pets before the onset of illness are easily misunderstood, and their meaning became clear only in retrospect. The same is true of unusual behavior prior to sudden death. In 1995 Christine Vickery was living in Sacramento with her husband, whom she describes as a fitness fanatic, 52 years old and very fit. He started each day with vitamin pills, ate a low-fat diet, worked out and walked part of the way to work. On the evening of Dec. 1, he arrived home at 6:30 as usual. Instead of running to greet him, my dogs, Smokie and Popsie, stayed in their baskets in another room. He called them and they refused to move. At 9 p.m., the dogs came to the living room and sat at my husbands feet, staring up at him. My husband was upset and wondered what (as he said) they knew that he did not. They kept up this odd ritual for the next five days. On the night of Dec. 6, the older dog, Smokie, caressed my husbands leg with his nose. Popsie offered him a paw. At 1:30 a.m. on December 7, my husband died in his sleep. I envied my dogs. They had known somehow and said their good-byes. Intelligent Animals In the 1870s Our narrator knows of a terrier who will not only ring the bell for the servant when told to do so, but, what is more remarkable, declines to obey the order when the servant is in the room, and therefore does not need to be called. Another person is acquainted with a kitten, when shut out of the house, jumps up and gives a single rap at the knocker in order to obtain admittance. If the rap is not successful the kitten knocks twice, and if a third trial is required, plays a regular volley upon the knocker. But even that feat is outdone by another cat of remarkable intelligence. Being a cat of extraordinary powers of observation he has found out an excellent way of getting the door opened. The cat has noticed that the summons most promptly attended to is that given by the postman, and accordingly when he wants the door opened, he climbs up to the knocker and performs a solo just like that of the letter-carrier. If I owned a cat like this I should certainly indulge him with a latch-key. Still another instance given, is that of a donkey which at the proper time in the evening, always opened the gate to allow the cows to pass through, on their way to be milked, and carefully put down the latch when the procession had passed through.

Window to the Past

B.J. The Smart Dog When Louise Gavit, of Morrow, Georgia, sets off to come home, the family dog, B.J. goes to the door. Mrs. Gavits husband has seen B.J. do this over and over again, and by keeping note of the time, he has found that B.J. usually begins to react when Louise first decides to come home, even when she is many miles from home. My method of travel is irregular: I may use my own car, my husbands car, a truck, or cars driven by strangers, or I might walk. Somehow B.J. responds to my thought-action just the same. In another case, a Labrador reacted to the return of his owner, an officer in the Royal Air Force. He watched his master fly away in a plane, then settled down to wait, J. Greany reports. When the same plane returned, the dog didnt even get up. The men all thought the dog had failed the test. They were wrong and the dog was right. His master was not inside. Later on, a different plane approached from the opposite direction. The dog jumped up, excitedly wagging his tail. His master was returning. From, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, by Rupert Sheldrake. Sequence of Behavior The following sequence of behavior is described by one dogs owner. Her dog (a springer spaniel named Rowdy) begins by going to their hall closet. The closet has a sliding door, which the dog paws open. Next Rowdy grabs hold of the leash, which is hanging on a hook. Since the hand loop is over the top of the hook, the dog has to jump up and snap its head to the side to dislodge it. The leash in his mouth, he then walks into the living room where his master is sitting. If Rowdys master does not appear

Leon was born Jan. 29, 1920, in Belgium and moved with his family to the United States when he was a young boy. He served with the National Guard as a teenager. Leon enlisted from Delphos in 1941 and served until 1945. He then reenlisted in 1948 and served until his retirement in 1975. He reached the highest rank possible for an enlisted man when he was tapped to be the Sgt. Major of the Army in 1973, only the fourth man to attain this rank, and he served in this position until his retirement. The Delphos Canal Museum has a large display of Delphos area military history artifacts and information. The museum is always looking to add to our collections and we encourage you to donate your stories and information. The Delphos Canal Museum is open from 9 a.m. to noon every Thursday and every Saturday and from 1-3 p.m. every Sunday. BY ED GEBERT DHI Correspondent VAN WERT - The unemployment rate for Ohio continued its slow decent in April. The latest report from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services released on Friday show another small drop in the rate from 7.1 in March to 7.0 in April. Along with good news about the rate, the number of workers increased while the number of unemployed decreased for the month. The number of unemployed workers seeking employment fell by 7,000 to 400,000. The number of unemployed has fallen by 21,000 in the past 12 months, but has risen by 15,000 since December. The number of employed workers rose by 7,600 to 5,183,200. That figure is nearly the same as 12 months ago, but the total work force in the state, that is the number of working added to those who are unemployed but seeking work, has fallen by 23,000 in the past 12 months, and is down 71,000 across Ohio in the past two years. Figures for April in each of the states 88 counties will be released on Tuesday. Van Wert County saw a four-tenths of a percent decrease

to notice the dog sitting there, the spaniel drops the leash and barks. As his master looks up, he picks up the leash and drops it in his masters lap, prances a few steps towards the door and barks again. If Rowdys master still doesnt move, the spaniel repeats the last sequence. The simplest description of his behavior is obvious: the dog wants to go for a walk and knows how to communicate his desires to his master. First Surface-toSurface Missiles? The ancient Egyptians, Romans, Gauls and Celts favored mastiffs as war dogs. One mastiff who weighed about 220 pounds, plays with 25-pound rocks the way other dogs play with balls. An earlier version of the mastiff, known as the Molossian dog, weighed in at around 280 pounds and was known for its aggressive tendencies. These great beasts were fitted out in spiked armor to tear at horses or infantry that came too near. Some trained to run at horses or men, carried lances hooked on their backs. Others trained to run under horses while carrying pots of burning resin on their backs. In other words these dogs were the ancient equivalent of our modern surface-to-surface missiles. From, The Intelligence of Dogs by Stanley Coren. A Smart Parrot Captain James Etchberger vouches for the following story: About 30 years when in Honduras in command of the bark, Eldorado, he was presented with a parrot, a spirited bird fluid in the Spanish language. The bird was brought to the city, where after being domiciled in the house of the captains family, it soon acquired a knowledge of the English tongue. The next door neighbor of the captain was an incessant scold - forever quarreling with something or someone. Polly, being allowed full liberty, was pleased to take an airing on the garden fence and in a short time had learned to mimic the scolding neighbor to perfection and finally became aggressive. Polly, not infrequently, was being knocked off the fence with a broomstick. This brought forth a torrent of abuse

from her injured feelings upon the head of her assailant. Finally, the birds language became so abusive that the captain was obliged to send it away and Polly was transferred to a good Christian family in the country, where in the course of time, she reformed and became to some extent a bird of edifying piety. Some time ago, while she was sunning herself in the garden, a large hawk suddenly swooped down and bore the distressed parrot of as a prize. Her recent religious training came to her assistance, as at the top of her voice, she shrieked, Oh, Lord, save me! The hawk became so terrified at the unexpected cry that he dropped his intended dinner and soared away. Polly still survives her attempted abduction. Delphos Herald, July 24, 1879 Ferocious Dog Breed Devotes Itself to Flock There are only a few hundred Sharplaninec (pronounced shar-planee-natz) dogs in North America, but this ancient breed of guard dog is renowned for its extraordinary bravery, strength, intelligence and large teeth. They are native to the mountains of Macedonia but have been bred in the U.S. since the mid 70s. Historians believe this breed may have served as Alexander the Greats palace dogs more than 2,000 years ago. They are slightly smaller than other livestock guarding breeds but easily makes up for that in their devotion, fearlessness and quickness to react to danger. According to the Sharplaninec Club International, two dogs can protect a flock of 15,000 sheep and can fight several wolves and emerge victorious. Bears are another common predator in the mountains and these dogs are known for their heroics. Sharplaninecs are calm, steady and loyal to family members but wary of strangers. They are a guarding dog and not a herding dog. There currently are about 2,000 of them worldwide. Farm Show magazine Read more in next Saturdays Herald.

slides to 7.0 percent

in the unemployment rate in March to 7.4 percent. If the county follows the states lead, expect a slight decrease in the jobless rate. Of special interest will be the job force total, as that number has been steadily decreasing thus far in 2013. The latest business establishment survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the state added 2,400 manufacturing jobs in April. Other areas in Ohio showing job growth included leisure and hospitality workers (up 5,300), trade, transportation and utilities (up 3,500), and other services (up 1,500). Job losses were seen in professional and business services (down 2,300), construction (down 1,400), financial activities (down 1,00), and federal government (down 900). Over the past 12 months, the state has put on an additional 8,800 positions. Increases were also noted in educational and health services (up 12,300), leisure and hospitality (up 4,200), and trade, transportation and utilities (up 2,600). Decreases since last April were seen in government (down 7,200), professional and business services (down 2,000), and information services (down 1,100).

VIEWPOINT
My headline this week may be a bit misleading to some. I dont want an hour to myself for meditation, relaxation, to read or live vicariously through others on Facebook. I dont want an hour to take a skin-shriveling bath or work a word puzzle. I want an hour that no one else gets. I want the world to stand still while I work, fast and furiously, to catch up so the other 24 arent so hectic. Is it too much to ask? Is it selfish? Probably yes on both accounts. It seems the faster I go, the behinder I get. Its full-on Spring and my flowers are still in their flimsy flats in the garage. I have been watering them in the hopes they will make it and I can get them in their forever homes today. Theres still a mountain of weeding to do and mulch is just a far-off dream. Spring cleaning is just a figment of my imagination so far. I just shake my head at the cobwebs in the upper corners and keep moving. Im hesitant to see what has accumulated under the furniture over the winter. Of course, if I dont move it, no one will know. Ringo will be the big winner in this endeavor. Im sure Ill pull a host of toys and rawhides from under the couch. It will be like Christmas for him. Truth be told, Im struggling to fix a meal every day, keep up with laundry and other weekly chores.

Those who dont believe in magic will never find it. Roald Dahl, British author (1916-1990)

NANCY SPENCER

On the Other hand

As you can imagine, the changes in publication of The Herald have brought about adjustments for many of us. Theres training on new things, refresher courses on old ones and a few surprises thrown in. Its actually quite stimulating and I enjoy the challenge. Without change, its sometimes hard to find a balance. Many times its awkward and often impossible. Someone is always left wanting more. Sorry take a number. Some days it feels as if Im always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wouldnt it be wonderful to be in the right place right on time? So, you guys wouldnt really mind if I got that extra hour would you? It would mean a lot to me and I would even be willing to share it once in a while. Of course, you wouldnt know I had unless I wanted you to. Would I share? Perhaps. And then again, maybe I am selfish and will keep it all to myself. If you had an extra hour no one knew about, would you share?

US-Russia spy game continues

By ADAM GOLDMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON The embarrassing arrest of a suspected CIA officer in Moscow is the latest reminder that even after the Cold War, the U.S. and Russia are in an espionage battle with secret tactics, spying devices and training that sometimes cant prevent capture. The most recent skirmish involves Russian security services ambushing a 29-year-old diplomat who they say was trying to court a spy. The Russians said Ryan Fogle was caught red-handed with a recruitment letter, a compass, two wigs and a wad of cash. The Russians published photographs of his arrest and displayed all his supposed spy gear for the world. It was intended as proof to the public that the young diplomat was in fact working for the CIA. None of these tactics is new. Humiliating and outwitting the other side is a tradition that extends back decades. In 1977, the KGB arrested a pretty blonde named Martha Peterson in Moscow for trying to leave a message for an important spy, codenamed Trigon. Just as in the case of Fogle, the Russians were waiting with cameras when they nabbed Peterson. Eight years later, the KGB filmed the arrest of A.G. Tolkachev, a top CIA spy, and later made it available to Russian television. In a case that made headlines across the world, the FBI in 2010 wrapped up a ring of sleeper agents it had been following for years in the United States. The Russians were not amused. Eventually the sleeper agents, including Anna Chapman, who later posed for a magazine cover in lingerie, were returned in a swap. These are the perils of working overseas. I was angry, Peterson recalled in interview. I was caught with things in my possession, too. That is a bad feeling. The idea is not to get caught. But thats easier said than done. The Russians are famously adept at identifying and catching spies. The Russians have netted at least a dozen agency officers conducting clandestine activities over the years, former CIA officials said. To reduce its exposure, the CIA goes to great lengths to train its officers to avoid what happened to Fogle if he was doing what the Russians said. Agency officers undergo intense training

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR: I want to give my deepest thanks to Steve Klausing, Andrea Rode and Eric Fritz of ACE Hardware for donating time and equipment to deliver books from Grove Port to Delphos. The elementary schools were in need of a new reading series and these people saved the school the money that would have otherwise been spent on shipping and handling which would have been a substantial amount. We are so fortunate to be in a school district where parents and businesses want to do things for the children of our community. Thank you so much, Mark Fuerst DEAR EDITOR: Dear Northeastern Van Wert County, Building on the success of our Blue Creek Wind Farm, the largest single private investment in Ohio in 2011, we are now in the early stages of developing the Dog Creek Wind Farm to the east of Blue Creek. Blue Creek is a powerful economic engine: the project employed more than 30 different local companies during construction, spending $25 million locally mainly on concrete, gravel, and upgrades and repairs to local roads. Our annual lease payments to area landowners total approximately $2 million per year and we compensated landowners for ag land impact during construction. We made a donation to Vantage Career Center to train future wind energy technicians, and created the Iberdrola Renewables Scholarship, administered by the Van Wert County Foundation. Residents of the Blue Creek and Dog Creek areas are eligible. In early 2014, Blue Creek will begin making payments to local taxing bodies that will make us the largest single taxpayer in Van Wert County, equal to the current top 11 taxpayers combined. Finally, Blue Creek is supplying clean, affordable, stable-priced wind energy to our customers across Ohio. With your help, Dog Creek would potentially double all of these benefits in this region. Advancing turbine technology indicates that each turbine could produce more electricity potentially lowering the cost of electricity and increasing the local landowner payments. We developed Blue Creek with a trusting partnership with the local community and landowners. That blue print of trust and transparency will guide us as we work together to develop Dog Creek. If you have any questions about the project, please contact me at 773-318-1289 or dlitchfield@iberdrolaren.com. Sincerely, Dan Litchfield Project manager

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt -- the benighted Mainstream Media. Or as the tea party queen and former Alaska governor likes to put it, the lamestream media. In a twist of irony, the two groups have coalesced around a common enemy: the U.S. government. Revelations the past few days that the Internal Revenue Service has been giving special attention to conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status have converged with the news that the Justice Department has been seizing phone records of The Associated Press. Reaction from both camps has been outrage seasoned with constitutional fervor. Not to overstate, but nothing less than free speech is at stake, about which no one should be confused. Briefly, the IRS singled out specific groups with words such as tea party, patriot or 9/12 in their names for special scrutiny, including asking for donor lists. Needless to say, this would have a chilling effect on donors who prefer anonymity, but it also smacks of intimidation. The implication: Criticize the government and you will pay. Literally. The targeting, moreover, was not a rogue operation by some random

Not such strange bedfellows

KATHLEEN PARKER

at the CIA spy farm in Virginia, taking what is known as the field tradecraft course. Its a basic spy course in which agency officers learn to identify when theyre being followed. In CIA jargon, theyre taught to perform surveillance detection runs. They are supposed to perform these before a mission. The rule of thumb: If a CIA officer sees something twice over time and distance, he or she is likely being watched. For those going overseas to places such as Moscow, they receive further training, including a hostile environment tradecraft course. FBI agents in Washington and New York, who have the most experience following spies, put rookie case officers through their paces. These FBI agents are also trained by the CIA. They play rough, giving the young agency officers a taste of what Fogle likely experienced. The course formerly was known as internal operations for CIA officers living behind the Iron Curtain. The wives or husbands of agency officers stationed in Moscow also took the course. Everyone was expected to be prepared. Despite precautions, Moscow is a place unto itself. Former agency officers call them Moscow rules because of the complex catand-mouse games. It can be a hard place to do business, perhaps one of the toughest places in the world to recruit agents. In the past, paranoia has swept through the CIA station in Moscow. In the late 1980s, when the Cold War was still raging, the Moscow station was practically paralyzed, believing its officers were under constant surveillance. There was no way they could leave the station and recruit people without being spotted. Operations almost came to a halt. By the early 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the CIA figured out it could do business again in Moscow. The agency officers in Moscow developed a list of quirky indicators to help determine whether they were being followed. A former CIA officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to discuss intelligence operations, recounted that the Russians tended to use cars so inconspicuous that they were conspicuous. There were always two Russians in the car in case one needed to get out on foot. At a red light, they behaved like they were parking rather than stopping at the light. The CIA determined that certain cars with an inverted pyramid on the front grill were used by the KGB.

Point of View
field agents in Cincinnati, as originally claimed, but, according to The Washington Post, involved IRS officials in Washington. Outrageous was the term President Obama used Monday during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron. Obama promised to get to the bottom of it even though, as president, he cant directly contact the IRS about a tax matter. This is owing to the legacy of Watergate, when then-President Richard Nixon used the IRS to intimidate his perceived enemies. The unavoidable comparison is, well, unavoidable. Obama can rattle some cages, though, given his administrations almost daily scandal production, hes going to be a busy zookeeper for the foreseeable future. No sooner had the Benghazi hearing concluded than the IRS story broke, followed by reports of the Justice Department probe. The latters investigation pertained to reporters phone records over a two-month period affecting four bureaus, including the APs congressional office, and more than

20 lines potentially used by hundreds of reporters and, significantly, their sources. Americans accustomed to hating the media -- a popular pastime of self-proclaimed new media, often meaning someone with an iPhone and a laptop -- should stop hitting snooze on their wakeup call right about now. When the choice is between distrusting reporters and distrusting the government, theres no contest, especially when the aggrieved are groups of people (tea partyers and selfproclaimed patriots) whose chief organizing principle is distrust of government. Reporters, though they are merely human with all the attendant imperfections, are fundamentally on the patriot team. Theyre sort of like cops: You hate them when their blue lights appear in the rear view, but you love them when something goes bump in the night. Though some journalists and even some institutions can be politically biased, a news organization exists for the purpose of reporting on organized power, especially the government. If tea party people worry that government is bearing down on them through its confiscatory powers via the IRS, then they have double reason for concern when the media are threatened. Who in the White House or the Congress will be willing to speak off the record if they fear being exposed to or

by the Justice Department? This isnt only outrageous; it is dangerous. The government can legitimately investigate journalists in the interest of national security, as has been claimed here. Officials say that an AP story last May about a failed al-Qaeda plot raised flags about potentially dangerous leaks. But there is a serious question whether the AP situation warranted such a massive and covert search. Out of fairness (or fear of punitive repercussions?), early reaction to these revelations has focused on the incompetence of the Obama administration rather than any sinister intent. Similarly, the administrations incorrect reporting of events in Benghazi are claimed to have been the product of miscommunication and inter-agency turf squabbles rather than a deliberate attempt to mislead the public leading into the presidential election. Whatever. Pending a verdict from investigators investigating investigators, it is abundantly clear that something is awry at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, not least of which is an apparent failure to understand the basic principles of American governance. Incompetence may be an explanation, but it is hardly reassuring. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Delphos Postal Museum

EVENTS

Over the many years that I have been researching postal history, I am always amazed at the breadth of this subject. Since I am down in Texas visiting Houston and Galveston, I thought I would just explore the postal history of this area. In doing so, I found a general topic that really fits in with the mission of our museum. That mission is to create an understanding of how our lives have been influenced because there was an organized mail system as a fulfillment of mans need to communicate. Our forefathers, the dedicated men of the Constitutional Congress, recognized this importance by addressing that need with the creation of the Constitutional Post. The terms Binding the Nation together take on a whole new meaning when we look at the period of the War Between the States (Civil War April 12, 1861-May 9, 1865). Montgomery Blair was postmaster general at this time. In order to disrupt mail service for the Confederacy, he took several actions. First, mail service to those states from the North was suspended. All USA stamps were, until this point, considered the same as currency. By demonetizing stamps (removing the value of stamps) the Confederate States of America (CSA) could not use stockpiles of stamps to bolster their economy. Mail addressed to those states was directed to the dead letter office and subsequently returned to sender and stamps produced by or for the CSA were not recognized by the US mail system. On April 13, 1861, the day after the war broke out in South Carolina, John H. Reagan was appointed Postmaster General of the Confederate States of America. PMG Reagan placed 8,535 of the nations 28,586 post offices under Confederate control. Reagan had served as a Congressional representative of Texas but resigned that post when it was clear that Texas would join the Confederacy. Once appointed, Reagan invited many of the heads of the Post Office Department to join him. Surprisingly, many of them did. They brought with them valuable records, forms,account books, contracts and information that was instrumental in Reagans success. It is report-

ed that he had his entire department up and running in just six weeks. His system changes and control of the railroads in transporting mail allowed the CSAs postal department to actually make a profit. Historian William C. Davis stated that Reagan virtually stole the American post office it was the first postal system to pay for itself without subsidies. As with many commodities of the Civil War, it took awhile before the CSA could produce its own postage stamps. Until Confederate stamps became available, some local postmasters issued provisional stamps or marked mail paid by hand. These provisional stamps are extremely valuable today, as are the stampless covers and manuscript postmarks of the CSA. In previous articles, I have discussed the details of who can be placed on stamps. The first CSA stamp had a picture of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. This is the first example of having a picture of a living president on postage. This stamp was issued in October 1861 with a green background and valued at five cents. The CSA was only able to print a handful of issues and in limited quantities. It was not uncommon for postmasters of the CSA to revert back to the practices used before stamps were invented. Following the end of the Civil War, reconstruction efforts were very slow in returning the almost 9,000 post offices of the CSA. In the first 18 months, only 3,234 post offices were returned to control by the Federal Government. In a future article, I will write about the mail from the soldiers of the Civil War and the companies that bridged the gap between the North and South by transporting mail across borders. Please spread the word about our next trip with MPH Tours. On Sept. 28, we are headed for six days/five nights in Monticello and Williamsburg. Transportation from Delphos, lodging, various meals and all the attractions are offered. This is our eighth excursion. Please call with any questions or if you would like to join our party: 419-303-5482. Until next time.

Grove splits on diamond COLUMBUS GROVE The Columbus Grove diamond crews split Northwest Conference games with Paulding Friday night in Columbus Grove. In softball, the Lady Bulldogs rode the 4-hitter of Bobbi Heckel to register a 7-1 triumph; she gave up an unearned run and walked one. Grove (18-7, 6-3 NWC) compiled 11 hits against Farr and five of the seven runs she gave up were earned. She also walked four and fanned four but was the victim of four errors behind her. Katie Roose went 3-for-4 for the hosts (1 run, 1 run batted in), while Hope Schroeder was 2-for-4 (4 RBIs, 2 runs) including a round-tripper and Micah Stechschulte was also 2-for-4 (1 RBI). Bland was 1-for-3 and scored the Lady Panthers only tally in the second. On the baseball field, the Panthers rode the 3-hit pitching of Egnor to grab a 10-3 decision. Egnor went the distance, giving up three runs (1 earned), walking seven and fanning six. Trey Roney (5-3) took the loss for the hosts (20-5, 7-2 NWC) in throwing three frames. Elisha Jones mopped up with the final four. The defense committed seven errors, causing five of the runs Paulding scored to be unearned. Blake Hoffman (1 run), Brady Shafer (2 RBIs) and Brandon Benroth had the only hits for the hosts. Kauser (1 run, 1 RBI) and Gerod Harder (1 run) went 2-for-4 for the visitors.

Fleming paces Cougar boys to 2nd at WBL

By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent BATH TWP Van Wert boys track team scored more points at the 2013 Western Buckeye League tournament than they did when they won a championship in 2012. While the Cougars overall performance improved this season, they could not match the performance OttawaGlandorf put together at the two day tournament. O-G denied the Cougars a repeat in the WBL outscoring them 103-94 to win the 2013 championship at Bath High School Friday night. Celina finished third with 77.5 points and Elida was fourth with 65 points. On the girls side, the Lady Cougars finished eighth with 35 points. Celina won the girls team championship with 116 points and O-G was second with 79 points. The Elida girls finished tenth with 13 points. The kids performed well. I told them our goal is to win and that will be our goal next year, we just came up a little short this year, Van Wert coach Mark Collins said. We scored more points this year than we did last year when we won, I guess technically we had a better meet, it was just O-Gs time to win. We were down 40-0 after the field events and just came up nine points short. While the Cougars came up short of repeating they were able to win five events, including three by senior standout Jared Fleming, who set two WBL records in winning two individual events. His third win came in a relay. Flemings two individual wins came in the 1,600- and 800-meter runs. In a tough 1,600 field, Fleming held off O-G sophomore Matias TrampeKindt for the win. Fleming ran a 4;22.16 to break the existing WBL record of 4:22.9, while Trampe-Kindt was second in 4:23.76. In the 800 meter run, Fleming ran a 1:57.12, a new league record, to defeat the Titans Jacob Leopold, who ran a 1:59.23. Fleming finished the night by anchoring the Cougars 1,600 Relay team to a win in 3:27.51, as once again he held off the Titans for first place. Joining Fleming in that relay were Seth Kopp, Quincey Salcido and Nick Krugh. In the 3,200 Relay, Van Wert finished third Wednesday in 8:23.51 with the team of Kase Schalois, Jordan Butler and Connor Holliday. Jared is a very talented young man, Collins said. Obviously, he is a state champion and has been here four years for us. What an accomplishment winning two individual events and setting WBL records in both of them and winning the 1,600 Relay. He is a hard worker and has high expectations for himself. Van Wert won three of the four relays as Kevon Pierce, Terrance Branson, Krugh and Kopp combined to win the 800 Relay in 1:32.28 and the 400 Relay in 44.68 with Pierce, Branson, Caleb Lloyd and Krugh. Kopp finished second in the 400 (51.17), Krugh was second in the 200 (23.05), while Branson was third in the 100 (11.85) and Schalois finished third in the 3,200 (10:00.77). Elida senior standout Quentin Poling paced the Bulldogs with a win, two seconds and a third. Poling won the shot put Thursday with a throw of 52-8 3/4 and finished second in the discus at 146-1. He took second in the 300 hurdles in 23.59 and was third in the 200 in 23.59. Nick Pauff finished second in the pole vault clearing 12-6 and Brandon Stinson was second in the long jump with a leap of 21-0 3/4. Van Werts girls team recorded one win at the league meet as sophomore Alexis Dowdy repeated in the shot put with a throw of 36-11 3/4. Dowdy was second after the prelims before uncorking her winning throw in the finals. See WBL, page 7

Lee, Rollins lead Phils over Reds

By ROB MAADDI The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Domonic Brown drove in the tie-breaking run on an infield grounder in the eighth and the Philadelphia Phillies snapped the Cincinnati Reds 6-game winning streak with a 5-3 victory on Friday night. Jimmy Rollins hit a 2-run homer and Cliff Lee threw seven sharp innings for the Phillies, whove won four out of five. Joey Votto hit a tying solo homer off Antonio Bastardo in the eighth and Jay Bruce connected for a 2-run shot for Cincinnati. Lee gave up two runs and six hits, striking out seven.

tried to barehand Cozarts flip and dropped it for an error. Young crossed the plate with the go-ahead run and Howard scored on a headfirst dive on Carlos Ruizs sacrifice fly for a 5-3 lead. The Reds closed to 3-2 when Bruce connected in the sixth after Phillips led off with a double. They tied it when Votto took Bastardo deep to rightcenter leading off the eighth. Bastardo, who normally works the seventh, was pitching in the setup role because Mike Adams is day-to-day with a mid-back strain. CLEVELAND (AP) Jason Kipnis three-run homer in the 10th inning gave the Cleveland Indians a 6-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. Kipnis home run came on an 0-1 pitch from Lucas Luetge and capped a two-out rally that began with a walk and an infield hit. The Indians have won 15 of 19 and are 10-2 at Progressive Field since April 30. Vinnie Pestano (1-0), activated from the disabled list before the game, worked around a one-out walk in the 10th. Drew Stubbs, who homered in the fifth, drew a walk off Luetge (0-1). Stubbs broke for second with a 1-2 count on Michael Bourn, and

batters out in the eighth and Jonathan Papelbon finished for his eighth save in eight tries. Reds rookie starter Tony Cingrani allowed three runs and five hits in five innings. After Cincinnati tied it in the eighth, the Phillies answered in the bottom half against Sean Marshall (0-1). Michael Young worked his third walk of the game with one out. Ryan Howard followed with a check-swing infield single. Jonathan Broxton came in and hit Delmon Young to load the bases. Brown then hit a grounder up the middle that shortstop Zack Cozart fielded on the second-base side. Second baseman Brandon Phillips

Luetge threw to first baseman Justin Smoak, but Stubbs beat the throw to shortstop Brendan Ryan. Bourn hit a slow roller past the mound and second baseman Dustin Ackleys throw to first was late. Kipnis followed with his seventh homer. The Mariners fell short of reaching the .500 mark for the first time since they were 4-4 on April 8. Raul Ibanezs two-run homer in the sixth tied the game, and the bullpens on both sides took over. Chris Perez retired the side in order in the ninth. Perez, who has been nursing a stiff shoulder, was pitching for the first time since May 11. Pestano had been on the DL since May 1 with a sore right elbow.

Mariners relievers Charlie Furbush and Carter Capps combined to pitch 3 1-3 scoreless innings. Capps struck out Mark Reynolds to start the 10th. Luetge got Michael Brantley to ground out before running into trouble. Seattle lost for just the seventh time in 19 games. Ubaldo Jimenez allowed two runs and struck out a season-high nine in five innings. He was pulled after Smoak led off the sixth with a single. Rich Hill was brought in to face Ibanez, who homered to right on an 0-1 pitch to tie the game.

ODNR awards funds for marine patrols COLUMBUS Twenty-four Ohio communities will receive a total of $574,711 from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to support local marine patrol units. These assistance funds provided by the Division of Watercraft represent a continued effort to keep Ohio waterways safe and enhance recreational boating experiences. The 2013 Marine Patrol Assistance Grants will help local law-enforcement agencies provide emergency response to boating-related incidents, conduct routine waterway patrols and purchase safety equipment for use on marine patrol vessels. The recipient agencies are located in counties throughout Ohio, which include large urban areas such as Cuyahoga, Franklin, Hamilton and Montgomery counties, as well as smaller communities such as Knox, Pickaway and Scioto counties. In 2012, Ohio had a record 435,310 registered recreational watercraft, ranking ninth nationally. Among this total are a rapidly-growing number of registered canoes and kayaks that has more than doubled since 2001 and now represents one of every four watercraft registered in Ohio. As many as 3 million Ohioans enjoy recreational boating statewide each year on the Ohio River and Lake Erie, as well as on numerous inland lakes, rivers and other waterways. Additional boating information and a list of Marine Patrol Assistance Grant recipients is available online at watercraft.ohiodnr.gov/grants. The Division of Watercraft administers Ohios boating and scenic rivers programs. The funding to support local marine patrol units comes from the states Waterways Safety Fund, which is comprised of the state motor fuel tax, watercraft registration and titling fees, as well as funds provided by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Division oversees watercraft registration and titling operations, provides funding to local communities for education, enforcement and boating access facilities, educates the public and enforces boating laws on Ohios waterways.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Indian Lake (Logan County) - Saugeye are being caught on wind-swept points and channel openings with current at this 5,040-acre lake; try casting or trolling small rattletraps and suspending crankbaits. Largemouth bass fishing is popular along the many stone riprap areas, docks and islands; fishing the lily pads can be rewarding this time of year. Many bass are in the 12- to 18-inch range and are in shallow water. Crappie and white bass fishing can both be good during May; minnows are the most popular choice for live bait. Channel catfish fishing should be picking up as the water warms. Oakthorpe Lake - This 41-acre lake in Fairfield County provides good largemouth bass fishing; try plastics and spinner baits around shoreline cover and the lily pads on the north side of this overlooked lake. Crappie are being taken from the deep water on the west bank with a minnow suspended by a bobber; look for submerged timber. Bluegill can be caught around lily pads; use small worms, crickets, or insect larvae. Electric motors only. NORTHWEST OHIO Sandusky River (Sandusky County) - Water temperature is 63 F, the water level is normal and clarity is average to good. Although anglers may still find some walleye in the river, walleye fishing has been slow and the run is over do NOT keep any walleye shorter than 15 inches (please take a ruler with you) and the bag limit is now 6. The white bass run is near the peak and fishing is excellent, with large numbers being caught. All areas of the river are producing good numbers of large fish; anglers should try using jigs, spinners or worms under a bobber. Black bass cannot be possessed until June 28. Maumee River Water temperature is 63 F, the level is normal and clarity is average. Bluegrass Island is accessible at this time. Anglers are still catching a few limits of walleye at this time but the run is winding down do NOT keep any shorter than 15 inches (please take a ruler with you) and the bag limit is now 6 fish. The white bass fishing is still picking up and good numbers of are being caught; anglers are using jigs, spinners or worms under a bobber and all areas are producing. Black bass cannot be possessed until June 28; any caught must be released immediately unharmed. Lima Lake (Allen County) - Located on SR 82, east of I-75, this 88-acre lake has been producing good catches of crappie, bluegill and trout. Anglers are having luck throughout the lake; however, try near the dock at the boat ramp using jigs, spinners, or slip bobbers with minnows, wax worms, nightcrawlers or flavored baits. There is a boat ramp available or anglers can fish along the shoreline. Boats are restricted to electric motors only. Oxbow Lake (Defiance County) - Located at Oxbow Wildlife Area, 7 miles northwest of the city of Defiance on Trinity Road, anglers have been catching some crappie; try fishing near the water control structure using artificial jigs. Boats are allowed and there is a ramp available; however, boats are restricted to electric motors only. NORTHEAST OHIO Dale Walborn Reservoir (Portage County) - Crappie have been biting very well in water less than 5 feet deep; boat and shore anglers are catching large numbers of fish on minnows, wax worms and jigs under slip bobbers. The channel catfish have also been active, taking nightcrawlers fished on slip-sinker rigs. Berlin Lake (Mahoning/Portage/Stark counties) - The crappie bite continues at this large, popular lake; anglers are catching crappie in 5-7 feet of water, in bays and the main lake. Fish seem to be schooling farther from cover than usual at times, so be prepared to try different locations to find them; jig and minnow combinations or tube jigs under slip bobbers are the ticket. Walleye are biting at times as well, with jig and minnows and fat-bodied crankbaits producing well; many walleye anglers are catching bonus catfish, with nightcrawlers being especially effective. White bass are running up the creeks, giving shore anglers an excellent shot at some fast action; try small crankbaits and other minnow-imitating baits. SOUTHEAST OHIO Lake Logan (Hocking County) - Saugeye angling should be in full swing this week; try bottom-bouncing jigs tipped with nightcrawlers fished at 6- to 10-foot depths or trolling crankbaits in 6-10 feet of water. Crappie anglers should begin to look for white crappies moving into shallower water around shoreline structure to spawn; these can be caught using small plastic-bodied jigs or live minnows fished below bobbers in depths less than 6 feet. Wolf Run Lake (Noble County) - Rainbow trout are on the move to find cooler water; bright-colored Powerbait trout nuggets fished near the dam have been reported to be successful. Largemouth bass are also a popular species to target in the spring; try jerkbaits, crankbaits or minnows near structure in 3-10 feet of water. Crappie anglers should try minnows or roadrunners tipped with a twister-tail in 10-15 feet of water near rocks or other structure. A boat ramp is located at the east end of the lake off the SR 215 entrance and boats with motors up to 10 HP are permitted. Please note the new regulations for 2013: a daily bag limit of three largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, with two less than 14 inches and 1 greater than or equal to 20 inches. SOUTHWEST OHIO Cowan Lake (Clinton County) - Crappie, between 9-14 inches, are being caught around brush piles with slip bobber and minnows 12-18 inches deep,

especially within 20 feet off the bank. Acton Lake (Preble County) - Crappie and saugeye are being caught; fish fallen timber on both shore lines. Try minnows or chartreuse and white for saugeye; the crappie are being taken on minnows under a float at about 12-20 inches deep. OHIO RIVER Riverbend to downtown area (Hamilton County) - Water levels are slightly high but anglers report channel cats off gravel humps in about 20 feet of water near channel drop-offs; fish depths from 15-30 feet and try cut skipjack and shad. Pike Island Dam (Belmont County) - Sauger fishing is popular this time

of year; anglers have been fishing the pier by vertical-jigging with 1/4-oz. or smaller jigging spoons. Other methods for sauger fishing here include cast and a slow retrieve off the bottom of jigs with pearl or chartreuse twister tails tipped with a minnow. Catfish activity will be picking up in the evenings and early mornings; try nightcrawlers or chicken livers. Anglers fishing for catfish have also reeled in the occasional hybrid-striped bass. To target smallmouth bass, try casting spinner baits, crankbaits, tube baits or top-water walk-thedog-style baits off of stony points. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; the minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler (as of last Wednesday) through Aug. 31; minimum size limit is 12 inches. Black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) fishing is closed to possession (no harvest) through June 28. Western Basin: Walleye fishing was fair over the past week (as of Wednesday). The best areas were from the turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel to West Sister Island, from Rattlesnake to Green islands, E of South Bass Island and N of Kelleys Island. Trollers have been catching fish on crankbaits and worm harnesses; drifters are using worm harnesses with bottom-bouncers or are casting mayfly rigs. Yellow perch have been caught N of Kelleys Island; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Central Basin: Walleye have been caught nearshore off Cleveland after 6 p.m. and at night in 35-38 of water using rapalas, husky jerks and reef runners. Yellow perch fishing has been good weather permitting in 38 of water N of Gordon Park in Cleveland, in 38 of water N of the Fairport Harbor lighthouse and in 42-50 of water NE of the Ashtabula; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing has picked up off the East 55th Street pier in Cleveland; anglers are using spreaders with shiners and the mornings have been best. Smallmouth bass fishing has been good in 15-25 of water around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Largemouth bass are also being caught in the same areas; anglers are using drop-shot rigs with rubber worms, soft-craws, tube jigs and crankbaits. The water temperature is 55 degrees off of Toledo and 52 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating. Ohio Watercraft field locations extending hours Ohio Watercraft field locations are extending their office hours to accommodate boaters who find limited time to get their paperwork in order. The 11 Watercraft field offices are located across the state in Ashtabula, Cleveland, Sandusky, Maumee Bay, Wapakoneta, Akron, Cambridge,

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, MAY 19, 2013 The possibility of a nice financial surplus for you and those you love during the year ahead looks unusually good. Your gains will not come from investments alone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try not to come on too strong with someone who has less money than you. If you do, you might feel obligated to pick up the tab for a lavish outing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -The probabilities for fulfilling your expectations look good. However, this may be due to the efforts of another rather than yours. Dont take credit that you dont deserve. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Normally, youre pretty good at keeping secrets, but not so today. You arent likely to intentionally betray a confidence, but you could easily do so inadvertently. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An important business matter might not live up to your expectations. Dont throw only light jabs when a knockout punch is required. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youre not likely to have much trouble accurately assessing the days developments. Problems could enter the picture through the impractical nature of your response. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Its best not to listen to the counsel of someone unfamiliar with your affairs. Even if his or her advice sounds good, its coming from a place of weakness. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A firm that youve been doing business with for quite a while might offer you a deal that you could better elsewhere. Dont feel obligated. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Its going to be obvious to others, if not to you, that youre in a very strong bargaining position. Remember, its not up to you to make concessions; its up to the other guy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Guard against tendencies to take strong positions on issues about which youre not fully informed. A sharp opponent could tear your argument to shreds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be extremely careful to think before you act. This might be one of those days when you could create complications despite your good intentions. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -You are not going to be able to placate everyone in a group involvement. In fact, you may end up pleasing no one if youre not careful. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although your ability to handle most worldly concerns is unusually good, you may not do so well when it comes to more aesthetic matters. MONDAY, MAY 20, 2013 You will have ample opportunities to make improvements in the year ahead. Things will take a while to gel, but dont lose heart -- rewards will come your way eventually. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even though your victory might not be totally complete, it looks like youll still be able to achieve an important objective. Do the best you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Youll have to work in close proximity with someone whose views differ considerably from yours, but you can still get things by being as diplomatic as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -When it comes to business matters, dont waste a lot of time hammering out what you think will be a good deal. Chances are, it wont be. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be careful, because a strong-willed associate might try to impose his or her decision on you in a situation that requires cool heads. Dont cave in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Certain duties and responsibilities that require immediate attention should not be put off. Dont be oblivious to need for immediate action. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -There are indications that if youre not careful youll place far too much importance on trivial issues. If you want to worry, do so over something worthwhile. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Dont allow your ego to control your behavior. You might think that you look great preening and strutting, but others will disagree. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- To advance your self-interest, you should avoid working with people whom you suspect to be more more adversaries than friends. Experience and intuition will be your guides. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Robbing Peter to pay Paul is never a good way to manage your money, so dont start now. Youd only make your situation much worse. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You and your mates intentions might end up conflicting. Unless you both agree to a plan, your actions could prove counterproductive. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Through the auspices of another, a situation you need to correct and/or resolve should go smoothly. It might turn out differently if you have to handle things unaided. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you have to deal with someone who is quite unreasonable, dont give up easily. A steady supply of tolerance and patience will gradually defang this person.

Arrests made in Mothers Day parade shooting

Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) Days after bursts of gunfire brought a chaotic and bloody end to a Mothers Day neighborhood parade in New Orleans, news of now seven arrests gave an organizer of the traditional event reason to celebrate again. Im just ecstatic, Edward Buckner, president of the Original Big 7 Social Aid and Pleasure Club, said Thursday. Two brothers were booked with 20 counts each of attempted second-degree murder in Sundays shooting spree in which 19 people were struck by bullets and one was injured while fleeing. Authorities said three people remain in critical condition. Akein Scott, 19, was captured Wednesday night. A $10 million bond was set for him in the shooting case Thursday and he was ordered held without bond, pending another hearing on an unrelated gun and weapon charge. His brother, Shawn Scott, 24, was arrested Thursday morning. The district attorneys office had said Shawn Scott would make an initial court appearance Friday, but court records show bond was set at $10 million for him in a hearing Thursday evening. An additional $91,000 in bond was added for other drug and weapon charges. Five others were accused of helping suspects avoid capture. They are charged with being accessories after the fact to attempted second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, police said. The latest arrested Friday on that charge was 19-year-old Monique Pepe. Police say she allowed Shawn Scott to hide at her house. Motives for the shootings have not been given but police said the shootings were believed to be gang related and that the Scott brothers are thought to be members of a gang called the Frenchmen and Derbigny Boys. The Dalai Lama, visiting New Orleans for the first time Friday, expressed condolences to victims. Nonviolence is the only way of solving problems, he told reporters before addressing a gathering at the citys convention center. The real gun control, ultimately it comes here, the Dalai Lama said, pointing at his heart. News of the arrests in a case of violence that brought unwanted national attention to the tourist-dependent city was welcomed by San Francisco freelance journalist Mark Hertsgaard, shot in the leg as he watched the parade. I love New Orleans and I love anything that helps to heal New Orleans from this event, including bringing justice to the perpetrators, Hertsgaard said Thursday in a telephone interview from his home in San Francisco. Sundays shooting happened during a second line parade, so called because watchers of the procession of musicians and festively clad marchers often join in, forming a second line of marchers. Buckner said the Original Big 7 club plans to re-stage the parade on June 1. Sundays parade drew an estimated 400 along its route through a neighborhood in New Orleans 7th Ward. The abrupt end came when bullets started flying in the crowd. Surveillance camera video released early Monday showed one man apparently firing into the crowd, immediately scattering the assembled parade-watchers as some fell to the ground. Police said Akein Scott has been identified by an unnamed wit-

Torture evidence found in Syrian prisons Murder

By BARBARA SURK Associated Press BEIRUT Rights activists visiting abandoned government prisons in the first Syrian city to come under rebel control have found torture devices and other evidence that detainees were abused there, Human Rights Watch said in a report Friday. Raqqa, in eastern Syria, was overrun in late February by rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad. The rebels facilitated the New York-based groups access to facilities that had belonged to a government security agency and military intelligence in late April. In Russia, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov defended his countrys continuing arms shipments to Syria, saying they violate no international norms. His statement followed media reports claiming that Russia had recently delivered an advanced version of Yakhont anti-ship cruise missiles to Syria. Russia has been one of Syrias strongest allies and, along with China, has vetoed three Westernbacked resolutions proposed to the United Nations that aimed to pressure Assad to end the violence. Lavrov, speaking after his talks with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, avoided specific comment on the Yakhont or other weapons deals, but insisted that the deliveries dont violate any international treaties. Asked about Western criticism of Russia over its missiles sales to Syria, Lavrov said: I dont understand why the media are trying to make a sensation out of it. We havent tried to conceal that we have been supplying weapons to Syria under contracts signed earlier without violating any international treaties and Russian laws. He insisted that Russia is providing Syria primarily with defensive weapons, air defense systems. Lavrov said that such weapons shipments dont tilt the balance of power in the region and cant be used by the Syrian regime to fight the rebels in the countrys civil war. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki told reporters that it seems that these cases that were reported this morning have been previously reported. She added that were not aware of new shipments of these specific missiles. Also Friday, a squadron of five Russian navy ships from the Pacific Fleet arrived in the port city of Limassol in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, a Russian navy statement said. The Admiral Panteleyev destroyer, two amphibious landing vessels, a tanker and a tugboat have replaced a previous group of Russian navy ships that have sailed back home. Russia has pledged to revive a permanent presence in the Mediterranean its navy had during Soviet times.

ness as the person seen on the video. In an application for an arrest warrant, police said Shawn Scott is believed to have fired into the crowd from the opposite side of the street, based on an unnamed witnesss account of a conversation with Akein Scott. Their arrests pleased Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who held a news conference at the shooting site Thursday at noon, along with police chief Ronal Serpas and District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro. Dozens of uniformed officers and an array of police vehicles were in the background at an intersection that is off the beaten path for most tourists but less than two miles from the popular French Quarter. Landrieu, who strongly promotes the citys tourism industry and its successful hosting of Super Bowls, music festivals and the annual Mardi Gras celebration, said the arrests are the latest evidence of the citys determination to stop the gunplay that mars its image. We all came back here to make it clear that the culture of death and violence on the streets of New Orleans is unnatural, its unacceptable, and the people of New Orleans have had enough, Landrieu said. home from work and found what the police chief said looked like a crime scene. Residents at the trailer park who did not wish to be identified stated that one body was found underneath the trailer. A published report stated the other body was found in a ditch alongside a Putnam County road.

State Farms Strategic Resources Department sponsored a four-year online survey of 4,000 U.S. consumers aged 18 and older who identified themselves as having some insurance and financial responsibility for their household. The 2012 culminated data shows an increase in the number of people using mobile web services while driving. Drivers aged 18-29 disclosed these statistics: Accessing the Internet while on a cell phone while driving increased from 29 percent in 2009 to 48 percent in 2012. Reading social media networks while driving increased from 21 percent in 2009 to 36 percent in 2012. Updating social networks while driving increased from 20 percent in 2009 to 30 percent in 2011. Checking email while driving rose from 32 percent in 2009 to 43 percent in 2012. Director of Technology Research at State Farm Chris Mullen said that the mobile Internet is generating another set of distractions for drivers to avoid. While communities are working to reduce texting while driving, we must also be concerned about the growing use of multiple mobile web services while driving.
