FORT JENNINGS Mayor Jim Smith gave an update on

the electric aggregation and reported he has not received the
results or response from Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
(PUCO) as of yet during the Fort Jennings Village Council
meeting Tuesday night.
Our 30 days is up next week, he said. We should have
a response and the permit number we need to issue opt-out
letters to residents so that they may start their opt-out process.
Smith said he has been in contact with Integrys Energy
Group and was informed it is looking for bids for the village
beginning the first week in April.
Rates have come down, Smith detailed. We are looking
at under 7 cents per kilowatt hour.
Micheal Seeger from Choice One Engineering stopped in to
introduce himself and offer any services the village may need
in the future. He said the company is geared toward surveying and works on grant funding through Ohio Public Works
Commission (OPWC) and Issue 2 funding.
We have an engineering firm we use for OPWC, Smith
said. Typically, we dont qualify for Issue 2 grants. Does your
firm have knowledge of the Community Reinvestment Area
(CRA) program? We need help designating an area.
Seeger said there is personnel in the offices in Sidney that
would know about the grants and any other programs.
The program is an economic development tool administered by municipal and county government that provides real
property tax exemptions for property owners who renovate
existing or construct new buildings, Smith explained. We
may be able to designate an empty lot and in turn, sell some
lots.
Discussion turned to cleaning of the village basins and
video taping storm sewers.

twists, turns mark bizarre life of robert Durst

LOS ANGELES (AP) A look
at the twists and turns in the bizarre
life of Robert Durst, the estranged
heir to a New York real estate empire
who was charged with murder after
an HBO series focused on his links to
three killings.
CURRENT LEGAL TROUBLES

Durst is facing a possible death
penalty case after Los Angeles prosecutors charged him with first-degree
murder in the 2000 shooting death of
his friend, Susan Berman, the daughter of a mobster.
Berman was shot once in the back
of the head just before New York
authorities planned to interview her
in a reopened case about the 1982 disappearance of Dursts wife, Kathleen.
Berman, a college friend of Robert
Durst, had acted as his spokeswoman
after the disappearance.
Durst, 71, has agreed to be

transferred to California from New
Orleans, where hes been held since
his arrest Saturday. But Louisiana
charges could complicate the move.
He was charged with being a felon in
possession of a firearm and carrying
a weapon while possessing narcotics
after authorities found a gun and
more than a quarter pound of marijuana in his hotel room.
NEW EVIDENCE SURFACES

Dursts arrest came as HBO prepared to screen the finale of its sixpart documentary, The Jinx: The
Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.
The series dredged up new information on his links to old killings
and featured revelations that surfaced
during his lengthy interviews.
Filmmakers showed Durst an anonymous letter sent to police alerting
them to Bermans body, which Durst

said only the killer could have written. They then confronted him with a
letter he sent Berman a year earlier that
appeared to have identical handwriting,
including the address for Beverly Hills
misspelled as Beverley, and written
in similar block letters.
I wrote this one but I did not
write the cadaver one, Durst insisted. But moments later, he couldnt
tell the two apart. After an awkward
moment in which he blinked, burped
and put his head in his hands, he
denied being the killer.
One law enforcement official, who
spoke to The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity because the
investigation is ongoing, said analysis linking Durst to the letters was
the key new evidence presented to
prosecutors.
DOCUMENTARYS ROLE IN
ARREST
Lawyers for Durst suggested the
timing of the arrest on the eve of the
documentarys finale was timed to
generate publicity, not a mere coincidence.
The warrant we believe is based
on a television show and not on actual
fact, attorney Dick DeGuerin said.
Law enforcement officials said the
arrest was not linked to the broadcast
and that they feared Durst would flee
the country.
Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki
acknowledged sharing information
with authorities for several years.
He canceled interviews scheduled
Monday, saying he might be called
as a witness.
Experts said recorded sessions
with Durst will likely be admissible
as evidence at trial.

75 Years Ago 1940
The Tavernelle, formerly the Hummer, a tavern

and dance hall located about three and one-half
miles south of Delphos, was totally destroyed by
fire Sunday afternoon. The building was owned
by Walter Hummer of Delphos. When the building
was erected in 1934, it was leased to Cliff Alstetter,
who operated it for about a year under the name
of the Blinking Owl. Roman Hummer then took
over the operation of the tavern and it was known
as The Hummer. Several months ago, Marion
Wheeler leased the building and operated under the
name of Tavernelle.
A large number of Delphos Eagles accompanied
the Delphos drill team to Lima Sunday afternoon
to participate in the annual St. Patricks Day party
sponsored by the Lima Aerie. In a competition
drill, the Delphos Eagles drill team won from the
Wapakoneta drill team. Albert Schmueckle has
been captain of the local organization since 1909
and deserves much credit for the fine showing the
drill team has made.
The excavation work on the Delphos restroom
project is continuing under man power. The power
shovel has been removed from the project and WPA
laborers will continue the digging. The dirt, which
is being removed to make room for the restrooms,

Witness: Hernandez wore Nike

shoes like those at crime scene
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) Prosecutors in the murder
trial of ex-New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez
on Tuesday added bits and pieces to their case against him,
presenting an acquaintance who said Hernandez looked angry
when he and the victim were at a Boston nightclub days before
the killing, showing video of headlights moving near the crime
scene and putting on a Nike expert who said Hernandez was
wearing that night the same kind of shoes that left a footprint
where the victims body was found.
Hernandezs lawyers hit back, attacking the credibility of
the man from the nightclub and pointing out that Nike had
made millions of shoes with the same sole pattern. Hernandez,
who had signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Patriots
before they dropped him, has pleaded not guilty in the June
17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of
Hernandezs fiancee.
Kwami Nicholas testified that he went to Rumor nightclub
with several of Lloyds friends after 11 p.m. on June 14 and
stayed until it closed around 2 a.m. His cousin Jules Nesbit was
a friend of Lloyds.
Nicholas said he saw Hernandez after the disc jockey
announced the Patriots star was in the club. Previous testimony
has established Hernandez went to the club with Lloyd and
another man, whom prosecutors have identified as Hernandezs
barber, Roberto Olivares.
Under questioning by prosecutors, Nicholas said he saw
Hernandez, about 10 to 15 feet away, staring at Lloyd and another friend. He said Hernandez looked angry, upset and tense.
Nicholas testified he saw Hernandez storming out of the
club and walking real fast with his head down. He said
Lloyd ran to chase him but Hernandez brushed him off.

Lawmakers take on Connecticut

over first in flight claim
COLUMBUS (AP) A resolution moving through the Ohio Statehouse challenges
Connecticuts insistence that one of its aviators beat the Wright brothers to the first
successful airplane flight by two years.
The Ohio measure got its first hearing Tuesday. If passed, it would repudiate
Connecticuts claim that Gustave Whitehead
successfully flew a powered, heavier-thanair machine of his own design on August 14,
1901, or on any other date.
The two states have been at it for years.
Connecticut passed a law in 2013 requiring the governor to proclaim a date for
Powered Flight Day to honor Whiteheads
1901 flight as the first, pre-dating the Wright
brothers famous flight off Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina, in December 1903. The
Connecticut lawmaker who fought for
Whiteheads place in history, state Rep.
Larry Miller, left the state law as part of his
legacy when he died last year.
Now, the home state of Orville and
Wilbur Wright is pushing back, reasserting the version of history agreed upon by
most historians and aviation experts: The
Wrights deserve the distinction of being the
first to fly. Experts say their heavier-thanair machine qualifies as the first airplane
because it brought together lift, control and
thrust systems for the first time.
State Rep. Rick Perales, the Ohio resolutions sponsor, told fellow lawmakers
Ohio and North Carolina are teaming up
to fight back Connecticuts claim. He said
the Wright brothers flight was witnessed,
repeated and clearly photographed, whereas
evidence surrounding Whiteheads flight is
sketchy at best.
The alleged photo of it is extremely
blurry and reveals only indistinct shapes,
he said. In fact, some say that the photo
was taken on May 21, 1905, in San Jose and
shows a John J. Montgomery-designed glider, not Whiteheads plane.
North Carolina has long been embroiled
in the first-in-flight debate.
When the U.S. Mint was creating its
state-specific quarter series in the 1990s, Ohio
and North Carolina fought over which could
claim the Wright brothers first flight the
Dayton-born Wright brothers home state or
the state where their flight took place.
In the end, North Carolinas coin pictured the Wright Flyer and the inscription
First Flight. Ohios coin also displayed the
Wright Flyer, but added an astronaut suit for
its famous sons Neil Armstrong and John
Glenn, and went with the slogan, Birthplace
of Aviation Pioneers.
North Carolina continues to declare First
in Flight on some license plates.
Ice jam pushes up into

cemetery, toppling headstones
TOLEDO (AP) Huge
chunks of ice that broke up
along a northern Ohio river
pushed into a low-lying
cemetery and toppled Civil
War-era headstones while
damaging fences, trees and a
roadway at two parks.
The piles of ice bulldozed
park benches and signs and
forced the evacuation of
about 20 horses from a stable along the Maumee River
near Toledo.
Higher temperatures created ice jams over the weekend that pushed ice boulders,
some the size of small cars,
over the river banks.
Some parts of Riverside
Cemetery were covered with
pieces of ice stacked at least
4 feet high. About 90 percent of the headstones, some
dating to the mid-1800s,
were knocked over, said Joe
Camp, the city of Maumees
public service director.

The ice also pushed
through and damaged the
metal fence around the cemetery.
Devastation, in a word,
Camp said.
A park official surveying
the damage at a recreation
area just south of Toledo said
it could be more than a week
before some areas reopen
because so much ice is blocking access to the park.

Fences, gates and informational kiosks were either
damaged or destroyed, said
Jeff Baney, assistant director
for the Wood County Park
District.
Several roads along the
river were blocked by the
ice over the weekend and
remained closed Tuesday.

B O U T I Q U E I T E M S G AT H E R I N G R O O M C A F E
Girl Scouts
offer spring
day camps
I enjoyed the evening very much. This show, Early One

Evening at The Rainbow Bar & Grille, provides a satisfying
mix of humor, romance, and spiritual food for thought. Its a
comedy with serious undertones about people interacting in a
strange situation in dire circumstances; basically, everything
from anger to insanity comes out, and it turns into a love story
at some point.
This play is about a group of individuals and their reactions
to the ending of the world as they know it. We, the audience,
never learn exactly how the world is ending. It just is.
Dan Hirn plays Shep, a writer-geek who wandered into
town by accident one day and accepted a job as a bartender at
the Rainbow. He has just sold a book, but he wont be able to
cash his sizable check because the world is ending. Dan is a joy
to watch on stage. He has the presence and effectively portrays
his lack of hope in a future.
Enter Roy (Steve Lane), a doofus of a mechanic. Both
his lines and his interpretation of them are funny. Lane has
impeccable comedic timing and I always look forward to any
performance he is in.
Amber Evans plays Shirley, the sexually confident barmaid.
She has a list of things she wants to do before she dies. One of
them is to finally put the moves on Shep, who is sexy, but in an
oblivious way and not at all confident. The transformation of
Shirley is obvious. The things women do sometimes just to be
able to cross items off their to-do lists!
P.S. Luhn plays Willy. We dont know what Willy did for a
living before the world started to end, but now he has his shotgun out and he is settling old scores with everyone who ever
wronged him. He is one scary guy and Luhn has this character
down to a fine art.
A traveling aluminum siding salesman named Bullard wanders into the bar. He is not convinced that everyone is going to
die, but he wants to reconnect with some of his former customers in this area, people to whom he sold bomb shelters back in
the day, just in case. Doug Grooms plays this randy stranger,
downing shots within beers with impressive enthusiasm and a
great, sleazy laugh.
A little later, the bars outside sign falls down on the
local gym teachers excuse me health and physical
education teachers car, forcing her to come inside and
use the payphone, too. Her name is Virginia (Jamie AllenReam) and she was on her way to Colorado to be with her
family, but she learns that it is too late; they are already
dead. Ream gives Virginia an appealing mix of feminist
strength and vulnerability. If I were Adam, I would want
her by my side.
The characters are set; we see their faults and then enter
Joe (Chris Lybold) to use the payphone. He is an especially
intriguing character and Lybold portrays God as genial, compassionate and hilariously practical. I completely believed that
God is always going to keep trying to communicate with His
creations while letting us make our own choices, even when
they destroy us.
The bar-and-grille set has a wealth of wonderful details.
From the bar window sign and the well stocked bar, to the stale
packets of chips and slim jims behind the bar, to the real jukebox, to the dart board and the kitschy beer signs, it is obvious
that a lot of care was taken to make the show look and feel a
certain way.
Once again, Director George Dunster, took a wonderfully
written play to the stage and with his artistic expertise brought
words and actors together. The end result is a performance I
would strongly recommend as an enjoyable evening out.
Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar & Grille continues
March 19, 20, 21 and 22 at Van Wert Civic Theatre, 118 S Race

Health, safety reports Firepit project gives back to home schools

highlight 4-H meeting
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
DELPHOS On March 5, Pathfinders of Delphos held its
meeting at the Coons Club. During the meeting the members
received a Health Report and a Safety Report.
In the Health Report, the members were told a few ways
to prevent the flu, since it is that time of the year again. A
few of the tips given were eating right, exercising and taking
vitamins.
Next, the members were given a Safety Report on how to
stay safe while on social networks. Some of the advice given
was not to give out information about where youre going.
Also, when you will be going there. Another one of the tips
was not to tell anyone when you will be out of town and how
long you will be gone for this could give someone you dont
know more information about you than you are willing for
them to know.
Finally, the members received paperwork to fill out and
bring back to the next meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m. on
Sunday at the Delphos Coons Club.
VAN WERT One great

idea + skilled students = $$
for home school clubs
When Student Services
supervisor Mike Knott was
thinking of ways to demonstrate the skills and talents
of Vantage students to people throughout the district,
he began by thinking of
something most everyone
in northwest Ohio loves
high school basketball. Each
associate school that sends
students to Vantage has a basketball team.
Many of those who attend
buy programs and 50/50
tickets. Maybe our students
could create something we
could raffle off at our home
school basketball games, he
thought.

his students decided to tackle
the firepit project not just
an ordinary firepit, but one

Hiltner, both juniors in the

program from Continental,
teamed up to create
Continentals firepit.
We each did part of the
project. It was the first time we
programmed the Torchmate
to cut out the school name. It
was a cool way to learn the
things we needed to learn to
make the piece. We helped
sell the raffle tickets at the
Continental game and it felt
great to explain to people
how we made the firepit,
they said.
(By the way, Levis grandma bought some raffle tickets
and was the lucky winner of
the Continental firepit!)
All of the money raised
from the sale of the raffle
tickets went right back to
the school where they were
sold. In all, a total of $3,281
was raised through this project. Proceeds were donated
to several different clubs at
the home schools athletic
booster clubs, FCCLA and
FFA groups, students councils, National Honor Societies
and junior/senior proms.
Everyone agreed it was a
terrific project a way for
students to gain some new
skills and for Vantage to give
back to the participating district schools.

fog. This made for some happy children!

It has been a lot warmer this week with the
temperature almost reaching 50 degrees on
Monday. Sure gives a person spring fever. I
am hoping it will be nice and warm for Alvin
and Susannas wedding tomorrow.
I went to
help prepare for
the wedding on
Monday at the
brides home.
Daughters
Elizabeth and
Susan didnt
have to work
so they helped
Verena with the
laundry. They
hung some of
it outside and
it dried really
well. I was glad
the laundry was
done when I
came home.
Other women were at the brides home
too, helping prepare for the wedding.
Women made pie crusts and crushed corn
flakes to mix with ranch seasoning to
coat the chicken for the wedding meals.
We smashed and prepared two five-gallon-sized buckets of crushed corn flakes.
Then I helped make angel food cakes.
All the ladies brought in something for
lunch which makes it so much easier on
the brides mother. I took macaroni salad.
There was so much leftover I sent it with
one of the ladies to the visitation for a man
from our community. He passed away on
Saturday evening and has lots of relatives
in this community.
Yesterday I spent part of the day sewing
on my dress for the wedding. The cooks
have to wear a plum-colored dress. Mose
and Susan are witnesses and Susan has to
wear a purple dress with a white cape and
apron. Timothy and Elizabeth are table
waiters and Elizabeth will wear a different
shade of purple for her dress, cape, and
apron. The boys have to wear black pants
and vests with white shirts. My job at the
wedding will be to help prepare the chicken. It will all be baked for both meals.
The sun is shining brightly now and the
fog has faded. I still need to finish sewing my
cape for tomorrow, so thats next on my list.
snow needs somewhere to go.

The children have been helping make butter
from our cow Bessies cream that we get from
her milk. I am hoping to get a butter churn or
an easier way to make butter than shaking it
in a jar. It is nice to not have to buy butter and
milk now. Our
children like the
taste of homemade butter so
we will be making lots more.
Everyone takes
turns shaking
the jars and we
soon have a
lump of butter
formed.
We also have
our own chickens so we have
eggs and can
make noodles
from those.

date with the mighty Wildcats, Joyner grabbed a cell phone
and pretended to make a really, really long-distance call.
Hello? Hello? he said at a postgame news conference.
Then he put down the phone,
laughed, and said, I guess hell get
back to me.
Reginald Johnson scored 15 points
and made two critical defensive plays
down the stretch and Quinton Chievous
added 15 points and 13 rebounds
before leaving with a sprained ankle in
the final minutes.
The Pirates (17-17) scored the first seven points, led by as
many as 12 in the opening half and then, after Manhattan had
rallied within a point, pulled away at the finish.
Johnson sealed the game with two huge steals, the second
leading to his floor-length assist pass to Emmanuel Okoroba
for a layup. Okoroba then hit a scoop shot on a drive and the
lead was 67-58 with 90 seconds remaining. Manhattan (1914) never threatened again.
The 68th team in a 68-team field, Manhattan won as an
underdog yet again.
We love that. We take that head on, said Brian Darden,
who scored 13 points including clinching free throws at the
end. Thats our image.
Shane Richards scored 17 points and Emmy Andujar 11
for the Jaspers, champions of the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference Tournament.
You have to give Hampton credit, said coach Steve
Masiello, who played four years at Kentucky and would
have been the center of attention in Louisville had his team
won. I know were all caught up in whether they had a losing record, (the fact that) theyre 68th and were 67. But they
came out and played tonight.
___
ABOUT THOSE WILDCATS: Chievous said Hampton
will have to have an attitude when it tackles Kentucky.
Its really just going in with a great mindset, he said.
Not being intimidated. And just playing as hard as we can
and knocking down all our shots and just never giving up.
When adversity hits us, we cant get down on ourselves. We
just gotta keep playing.
NO LOSERS LAMENT: Hampton is the 24th team to
make the NCAA Tournament field with a losing record
and became the third in four years to win a game.
The Pirates started the season 1-5, won only two of 10
games during one span in the heart of the schedule, and
closed the regular season just 12-17. They won four in a row
to win the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournaments
automatic NCAA berth.

McIlroy rules on a PGA

Tour where talent runs deep
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla.
The PGA Tour hasnt seen
this kind of parity in two
decades.
Jordan Spieth won the
Valspar
Championship
last week at Innisbrook to
become the 18th winner in
18 tournaments this season.
The last time the
PGA Tour went
this deep before
it had a multiple
winner was in
1994 with Nick
Price, whose second win came at
Colonial in the
21st event of the
season.
Price
went
on to win six
times that year, including consecutive majors at
the British Open and PGA
Championship, and finally
got to a No. 1 ranking.
Rory McIlroy already is
there, and its hard to imagine anyone replacing him
this year.
That wont make it any
easier for Boy Wonder to
pile up victories.
The competition seems to
be everywhere these days,
even if McIlroy is just starting the PGA Tour portion of
his schedule.
Bubba Watson already
has two Masters and a World
Golf Championship, and
he cannot be overlooked
at Augusta National next
month when he goes for a
third green jacket in four
years. Jack Nicklaus is the
only other player to win that
many in such a short stretch.
Jason Day, already a winner at Torrey Pines this year,
is healthy and working harder than ever. He has been at
Bay Hill for two days this
week, spent Tuesday after-
noon in the hot sun with a

towel wrapped around his
chest and under his arms
during a chipping drill. He
tried to land his pitch shots
on a tube of lip balm placed
about 25 feet away and
nailed it on the sixth try.
The 21-year-old Spieth,
in his third season, already
has amassed more than
$10 million for his career
and picked up
his second PGA
Tour title (fourth
worldwide).
Brooks Koepka
won
against
a strong field
in Turkey and
Phoenix. Dustin
Johnson, after
sitting out for six
months, lost in a
playoff at Riviera
and won the World Golf
Championship at Doral in a
span of three weeks. Koepka
and Johnson are examples of
how much more athletic golf
looks now.
The next generation
the group now faced with
challenging McIlroy grew
up watching Tiger Woods
outclass his competition.
They were, in effect, trained
by Tiger. They are hungry.
And they are not intimidated
by anything or anyone.
Patrick Reed went so far
as to dress like Woods, with
black pants and a red shirt
on Sunday. The 25-year-old
Reed already has won four
times, and he even showed
the kind of fight that would
have impressed his golfing hero in the playoff at
Innisbrook when he twice
turned impossible shots into
pars until Spieth beat him
with a 30-foot birdie.
Reed spoke late last year
about the influence Woods
had on him.

Blue Jays fly on to Regional

finals with 45-32 victory
BY JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
BOWLING GREEN Oregon Cardinal Stritch led
once.
That was on the very first
basket.
After all, St. Johns used
its solid defense to stake its
claim to a 45-32 Division IV
Regional semifinal victory
in the second game Tuesday
night at Bowling Green State
Universitys Stroh Center.
The Blue Jays (20-6)
advance to the finals at 7
p.m. Friday versus once-beaten Wayne Trace (24-1), who
needed two overtimes earlier
to vanquish Plymouth.
The first period was one
of - to say the least - patience
on both ends of the floor.
The Cardinals (19-7) came
out in a very deliberate style
of offense. In fact, neither
team got a lot of shots off in
the period - combining for
14. The Jays assigned guard
Evan Hays to do the shadowing of Cardinal star Austin
Adams (18 markers) and the
senior did his job, holding
him scoreless. The only score
by the Cardinals came at 5:14
on an inside basket by Joe
Sinay. On the other end, the
Jays were slow starting and
got on the board at 1:59 on a
baseline flip by senior Alex
Odenweller (17 markers, 4
boards), He followed with
Blue Jay Andy Grothouse goes in for a basket during Tuesday nights game. (DHI Media/Kenny Poling)
a triple from the left corner
at 1:00 that gave the Blue
and Gold the lead for good
and when sophomore Tim
Kreeger banked one in from

in close to beat the horn, the
Jays led 7-2.
We knew Adams present-
ed a big problem with his athleticism and skill. We began

our defensive game plan with
him, St. Johns coach Aaron
Elwer said. Evan does a
great job on him initially but
this is not a 1-man defense;
he gets a lot of help from his
teammates. I really felt we
made him work hard for all
he got; it seemed the points
he got were late and they
were quiet points.
Coach gets us prepared
each game to be in position
to win. He gives us great
scouting report and we execute them, Hays observed.
It is a challenge to defend
someone like Adams and its
all of us doing so; we really
trust each other and depend
on each other to play good
defense. We have played a
lot of guys like him during
the season and that helps us.
Oregon began to pick
up the pace in the second
canto but so did the Jays.
They liked it just as much.
Hays still shackled Adams
(2 free throws) and this period, senior Andy Grothouse
(15 counters, 2 steals) came
alive for six counters. The
Jays steadily built a bigger
advantage and when Hays
hit the 1st-of-2 singles at 1.1
second, they led 21-8 going
into halftime.

Wayne Trace boys advance

with double-overtime thriller
Ethan Linder puts
in 44 in victory
BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
BOWLING GREEN - For 36 minutes, Corbin Linder was living a nightmare. With his teams season on the line,
the senior guard was having maybe the
worst shooting night of his life.
In the second overtime, however,
Linder found himself open for another
3-pointer, just like he was for the majority of the 10 treys hed tried before
that one. This one, he drilled, which
sparked a 7-0 Raider surge and helped
Wayne Trace advance with a 76-68
double-overtime win over Plymouth on
Tuesday night at the Stroh Center on
the campus of Bowling Green State
University.
I was awful, Linder explained following the game. I was terrible, but my
teammates and coaches just kept believing in me. The second overtime came,
and I finally got one to go.
There was no doubt in my mind,
I was going to take it (the late-game
three), Linder added. Youve got to
forget that (the previous missed shots).
We had a chance to get into a second
overtime. We were down (in the first
OT) and came back, so you just gotta
forget that and move on. I finally hit
one; It was the greatest feeling ever.

the first overtime, after watching a 56-50
lead dwindle away late in regulation. With
momentum, and the game, slipping away,
sophomore Ethan Linder, playing on one
good knee after a fourth quarter flare-up
of an earlier injury, caught a pass from

brother Corbin in transition and calmly
drained a 3-pointer from the corner to pull
the Raiders to within 60-59.

Kluber gives up HRs to Frazier

and Negron, Reds beat Indians
BY GARY SCHATZ
Associated Press
GOODYEAR, Ariz. AL Cy Young winner Corey
Kluber gave up home runs to Todd Frazier and Kristopher
Negron, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cleveland Indians
4-0 Tuesday.
Kluber allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in
four innings. He struck out four.
Kluber pitched a simulated game prior to his start against
the Reds to work on pitches without worrying about results.
It is spring training, manager Terry Francona said.
He is getting his arm in shape. He knows he is going to
be locked in. We included him in the discussions about
pitching in games and simulated games. We want his
input.
Kluber said there was extra intensity going out there
with fans and everything. Thats why we did the simulated

game to cut back a bit.
I was rushing a little bit, not staying out over the rubber.
I adjusted in that last inning, he said.
Reds starter Mike Leake pitched two-hit ball for four
innings but mostly worked behind in the count.
Leake doesnt pitch that way very often. He had a lot
of 1-0 counts. It wasnt until the third inning that he got
ahead of a hitter but he managed it, Reds manager Bryan
Price said.
Leake has not allowed a run over nine innings in his
three spring starts.
It was good and bad, Leake said of this outing. Every first
pitch was a ball except one. I had to pitch from behind in the
count. Im trying to get my change up to work a little better.

Borland quits: What am I

doing banging my head?
BY JIM LITKE
Associated Press
You can still count on two hands
how many players walked away from a
pro football career with more good days
likely ahead of them than behind.
Thats why Chris Borlands decision to retire at age 24, after a great
rookie season with the 49ers and a
near-guaranteed huge payday down the
line, sent shockwaves rippling across the
NFL. The announcement came within
days of retirements by 20-somethings
Jason Worilds, Jake Locker, Cortland
Finnegan and 30-year-old perennial Pro
Bowl 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis,
whose spot Borland was expected to fill.
Each of those players cited different reasons for calling it quits. Only
Borland, who suffered a concussion in
training camp last fall but covered it up
in a bid to win a spot on the field, tied
his departure directly to the continuing
risk of brain injury.
I just thought to myself, What am I
doing? Is this how Im going to live my
adult life, banging my head, especially
with what Ive learned and knew about
the dangers? Borland said Monday on
ESPNs Outside the Lines.
But more surprising, and perhaps
even more unsettling for the leagues
long-term prospects, was the reaction
from fellow players and the games notoriously tough fan base: an almost-unanimous show of respect for a young player
who left millions on the table rather than
expose himself to more concussions.
I didnt see it coming, Chris
Nowinski, an expert on sports-related concussions, said about Borlands
announcement. This was somebody
who got educated on the issue, and the
choices he was facing. I wasnt sure if

there were current players interested
enough to do their homework.
But a moment later, Nowinski, a
Harvard graduate, author and former
pro wrestler who was instrumental in the
formation of Boston Universitys Center
for the Study of Traumatic
Encephalopathy, said the reaction from the larger NFL community may have been more
surprising still.
It shows the macho culture
of destroy yourself for the
game is losing its grip, that
its no longer cool to question
peoples toughness. That represents a big shift in thinking
from just a few years ago, he
said. The real question now
is whether those players who stay in
the game will be encouraged to become
greater advocates for their own safety.
And then theres the 3 million or

so youngsters playing the game at the
lower levels, Nowinski added. Will
something like this lead to better and
more effective safety measures for
them?
The depth of that talent pool prompted a response from Eliot Wolf, director
of player personnel from the Green Bay
Packers, who tweeted: Anyone worried
about the future of football should see
the amount of calls and emails we get
from kids literally begging to get into
pro days.
But his reaction, as well as a statement from the NFL repeating the claim
that football has never been safer,
was largely washed over by a wave of
support on social media from Borlands
former teammates at Wisconsin and San
Francisco, as well as NFL opponents

he bruised en route to a host of rookie
honors and a team-leading 108 tackles. Typical was this tweet from St.
Louis Rams guard Chris Long: WOW.
I loved Chris Borlands game but I cant
fault him for calling it quits. His concerns are real. Still it takes a
man to do the logical.
Nowinski believes much
of the credit for the paradigm shift in how players, NFL fans and even the
league itself views concussions is an outgrowth of
the continuing research at
Boston Universitys CTE
center. Because CTE a
degenerative disease which
often results in memory
loss, aggression, confusion and depression can only be diagnosed during an
autopsy, he helped convince the families
of several deceased players to donate
their brains. Dave Duerson, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the
chest, made his wishes to be part of the
study, in a note he left behind.
The CTE center has confirmed that
76 of the 79 NFL players whose brains
were examined showed signs of degenerative brain trauma.
Borlands decision wont lead to a
rush of players out the door, Nowinski
said. But it should point in the direction
of making sure that those who stay get
the safest environment possible, and
that we have that discussion without
pretending the dangers dont exist.
They do. Our job now is to build on that,
especially for those kids too young to
make a risk assessment for themselves.
Ole Miss rallies from 17-point

deficit to 94-90 win over BYU
BY JOE KAY
Associated Press
DAYTON Stefan Moody scored 26 points and led
Mississippis comeback from a 17-point halftime deficit to
a 94-90 victory over BYU on Tuesday night in the NCAA
Tournaments First Four.
The Rebels (21-12) trailed until Moody led a 15-2 run
midway through the second half. He hit a late 3-pointer that
helped finish off the tournaments first big comeback.

Ole Miss goes to Jacksonville, Florida, to play sixth-seeded
Xavier on Thursday afternoon in the East Region.
BYU (25-10) pulled off the biggest comeback in NCAA
Tournament history in Dayton three years ago, rallying from a
25-point first-half deficit to a 78-72 win over Iona. This time,
the Cougars couldnt hold the big lead.
Tyler Haws, BYUs all-time leading scorer, had 33 points.
Marcos Ambrose asked to temporarily be replaced as driver in the V8 Supercars Series, Roger Penske said Tuesday.
The former NASCAR driver made the request so he
can familiarize himself with the cars following his return
this year to the series, Penske said. Ambrose won the V8
Supercars championship in 2003 and 2004.
He spent six years in NASCARs Sprint Cup Series but
returned to Australia at the end of 2014 to drive for DJR
Team Penske.
Ambroses top finish in two races is 12th, and hell be
replaced in his hometown event in Tasmania by Scott Pye.
Although this is a decision which has been hard to make,
it has become clear to me over the first two events of the
season that I need more experience in these cars to do what is
required of the lead driver and to be competitive for the team
and our partners, Ambrose said. Scott is a great driver, has
already worked with the team and has more experience in
these cars, which will give the team the best chance to be successful right now. This decision to step aside from the lead
driver role at DJR Team Penske is completely my decision.
Penske said in a statement that Ambrose understood that
the competition in this series is at a very high level and now
realizes that more time is required for this transition.
Ambrose came to the U.S. in 2006 in pursuit of a NASCAR
career, but never found regular success driving stock cars. He
won just two races for Richard Petty Motorsports, both on
the Watkins Glen road course.
He returned to Australia so his children could attend
school in their native country.
Ambrose expected to return to the car this year, including
serving as co-driver in the 2015 Endurance Series races for
the team.
Pye will drive the No. 17 Wurth Ford Falcon FG X at
the next V8 Supercars Championship event, the Tyrepower
Tasmania SuperSprint later this month. He joined the team
last season and posted nine top-10 finishes with two top-five
finishes.
Buckeyes in
tourney, but with
lowest seed ever
COLUMBUS (AP)
The Ohio State basketball
team is headed to the Rose
City.
Unfortunately for the
Buckeyes, few not wearing scarlet-colored glasses
expect a pleasant stay.
Ohio State learned on
Sunday night that it will
open the NCAA tournament
in Portland as the No. 10
seed in the West Region
its lowest position since the
tourney began seeding teams
in 1979. The Buckeyes
play
seventh-seeded
Virginia Commonwealth on
Thursday, with the winner
on course for a third-round
meeting with No. 2 seed
Arizona.
Earning
the
Wests
top seed was
Wi s c o n s i n ,
which relied
on 25 points
from Whitmer
graduate
Nigel Hayes
in an overtime win over
Michigan State for the Big
Ten tournament championship Sunday.
You have to lean on
your seniors to keep that
fire going, OSU coach
Thad Matta said. Hopefully
our guys will play with that
chip.
His players view the
Buckeyes seventh straight
tournament berth as a chance
to redefine a nondescript
season and climb out of a
rare valley under Matta.
After earning a top-two
seed every March from 2010
to 2013, the Buckeyes (2310) went one-and-out as a
No. 6 seed last year and will
be a opening-round underdog Thursday for the first
time in Mattas 11 seasons at
Ohio State.
Were excited, senior
Sam Thompson said. This
is the best time of year. This
is what we came to Ohio
State to do. We feel like
weve been given new life.
With little time to prepare, the Buckeyes opener
presents a unique challenge.
VCU coach Shaka Smart,
a 37-year-old graduate of
Kenyon College in Ohio,
introduced his trapping,
full-court pressure defense
known as havoc to the
nation during the Rams storybook run to the Final Four
in 2011, and continues to
bewilder opponents.
This year was a struggle. VCU was ranked
14th nationally before losing standout senior guard
Briante Weber to a season-ending knee injury and
dropping six of its last 11
regular-season games.
The Rams (26-9) regained
traction at the right time, polishing off a run through the
Atlantic 10 tournament with
a 71-65 win over Dayton
in Sundays championship
game. They are making their
fifth straight tournament
appearance.
At the least, Matta anticipates his guards, freshman star DAngelo Russell
and senior Shannon Scott,
will not be overwhelmed
by
VCUs frenzied
style.
With
a
senior guard and
DAngelo, he
said, hopefully
were going to be
a tough team to
trap.
Should the Buckeyes win,
they would likely face the
Pac-12 champion Wildcats
(31-3) on Saturday.
Ohio State was one of
seven Big Ten teams selected to the tournament, joining Wisconsin, Maryland,
Michigan State, Purdue,
Iowa, and Indiana. Only the
Badgers, though, appear a
serious national contender
and one of the top threats
to take down unbeaten top
overall seed Kentucky.
Wisconsin (31-3) captured its first top seed in program history, the first step in
what it hopes will be a return
trip to the Final Four. The
Badgers open against No.
16 seed Coastal Carolina on
Friday in Omaha, Neb.
Yeah, its nice to have
the 1 seed, but that doesnt
mean that were guaranteed
a Final Four appearance or
anything like that because
going off of last year,
Hayes said. There was not a
1 seed in the Final Four last
year and a 1 seed did not end
up winning, so we still have
to go out there and leave it
on the court.
Michigan, meanwhile, is
headed home after injuries
helped derail its pursuit of
a fifth straight trip to the
tournament. The Wolverines
were shut out of the 32-team
NIT field.

Whether this great depth is a detriment to

Its easy to say that golf needs a dominant

Brown replaced him and hit

to push the lead to five

the game away.
The Pirates were already
without leading scorer (13.0)
and rebounder (7.5), Dwight
Meikle. He was sidelined five
games ago with a high ankle
sprain.
I just couldnt go any
more, and my team ended up
pulling it out, said Chievous,

Oregon head coach Jamie Kachmarik
adjusted his game plan the third period, using
more of a 1-2-2 3/4-court press and putting
Adams more in the post. He heated up with an
8-point quarter and they made things tighter.
They were within five points twice the second
time at 25-20 on a basket by Sinay. However,
the Jays had the finisher - Grothouse a hoopand-the-harm, followed by his lefty basket
inside, then a 3-point play the old way by
Odenweller at 22.5 ticks, to expand their lead
to 33-20.
The Jays seemed to have things well in
hand in the finale, getting up to a 41-21 edge
on a basket by Odenweller halfway through
and Elwer began to sub. Oregon didnt give
up and forced four turnovers (9 total) in chipping away, reducing the deficit to 41-30 on a
scam by Adams. However, Elwer re-inserted
some starters and that was that.
I know its a cliche that the first minutes
of the third period are really important and we
have struggled there at times this year. We did
again early - they got within five - but I have
a mature, senoir-led class and once we settled
down, we got it going again, Elwer added.
Its a great opportunity to be in the final eight
of the division and get a chance to play in this
atmosphere; three of these guys played at the
Regionals two years ago - at Kettering - but
the rest were not, so its great for them.
Its tough talking over a program and
some asked me why Oregon Cardinal Stritch;
there was no winning tradition here. I knew
the guy sitting next to me (Adams) would be
here, Kachmarik said. This guy had three
incredible games to get us here and had a
great season. I know this wasnt one of his
a Tennessee transfer in his

first year with the Pirates.
Hopefully I can keep icing
it, get treatment and be ready
for Kentucky on Thursday.

Raiders
After a made free throw on the other end,

Plymouths Austin Nester missed the backend and Ethan Linder grabbed the rebound,
down two, with 16 seconds left to play. We
said, if he missed it (the free throw), we told
Ethan to go to the rim, because everybody
was in foul trouble, Head coach Jim Linder
offered. We didnt think they could either A)
stop hm, or B) want to foul him because it was
that close of a game.
A coast-to-coast drive followed and
Linders layup knotted the score at 61-61 to
force the second extra session.
Once there, the Raiders may have caught
a break before the clock started to run. Blood
was spotted on the shorts of Plymouths 6-4
post, Tyrell Edmiston, which caused the Big
Red to play the first possession of double OT
without their star. Upon winning the opening
tap, the Raiders got the ball in the hands of
Corbin Linder, who drove baseline and found
classmate David Sinn under the basket to
grab the lead. A quick Plymouth turnovers
followed setting the stage for Corbins trey
from the left wing.
With the monkey off his back, Corbin
Linder continued to make his presence felt,
this time on defense. He grabbed one of his
three steals and beat the Big Red defense
down the floor for a layup, establishing a
68-61 lead with just under three minutes to
play.
Plymouth would eventually get with four
at 72-68, but the Raiders, behind four points
from Ethan Linder, salted away the game.
Neither team wanted to quit, Jim Linder
noted. Luckily, we got off to a great start in the
second OT and hit free throws down the stretch.
The younger Linder brother finished with
a career-high 44 points on the night, coming
on 17 of 28 shooting. He also grabbed a teamhigh 11 rebounds.
What a tremendous performance, Coach
Linder said of Ethans night. He kept us in
the game, and he was the go-to guy all night
long. He was the mismatch that they really
didnt have an answer for.
Plymouth, which suffered just its second
loss on the year, boasted a pair of superstars. Along with Edmiston, who finished one
assists shy of a triple-double, fellow senior
Tyson Beebe knocked down 10 of 21 shots to
finish with 28 points. Edmiston, though, was
the difference-make for the Big Red.
I thought we did a great job on Edmiston,
the Raider head coach said. The kid that hit
some tremendous shots (for them) was Beebe.
He kept them in the game, particularly late.
We lost him; that was our fault, but those were
some pressure shots that he hit.
When Edmiston picked up his third and
fourth foul early in the third quarter, Plymouth
had to play long stretches without him. Wayne

Trace wasted little time in attacking the basket.
We have a certain play we call Raider
and its designed to get the post freed up,
Coach Linder explained. So, as soon as
Edmiston went out, that was what we ran.
Edmistons presence was felt throughout
the game, on both ends of the floor. He
grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds and frequently found open teammates on the offensive end. Defensively, he blocked two shots,
but changed countless others.
His presence makes you think, Ethan
Linder said of the challenge of playing against
a player like Edmiston.
He had a couple of monster swats, and that
gets you thinking, Coach Linder explained.
You dont want to go in there. We missed a
lot of uncharacteristic layups just looking over
our shoulder.
Hes one-of-a-kind, thats for sure,
Corbin Linder said. We dont see anybody
like that where we play.
The Raiders, who trailed by as much as
14-2 in the first quarter, continued to attack
the basket, which was important because
Wayne Trace didnt make a perimeter field
goal until the second half. Ethan Linder, in
fact, scored each of the Raiders first 14 points
before a Corbin Linder drive at 4:39 of the
second quarter brought Wayne Trace to within
20-16.
Thank goodness I play with this guy over
here, Corbin said, motioning to his younger
brother.
As it has been all year, the Raider pressure
defense was the catalyst in their comeback.
Our pressure turned them over late, and
thats what had got us back in the game as
well, Coach Linder explained. (They had)
24 turnovers to our nine. I think that was the
difference-maker.
Ethan Linders driving hoop opened the
second quarter before a free throw and a stealturned-layup cut an 18-7 deficit to 18-12.
From there, the Raiders continued to chip
away until finally taking the lead with 4:03
to play in the third. The lead came on Corbin
Linders first trey of the night. He went just
4-for-his-first-21 through fourth quarters and
one overtime.
Still, when the game was up from grabs,
the Raiders expected to win.
We are back for one reason, Corbin
Linder said. We want to take the next step.
They said it several times in the huddle,
Coach Linder said, Were not gonna lose
this one; were gonna pull it out. We just dug
down deep.
Wayne Trace will play again on Friday
with a trip to the Division IV state tournament
on the line. Tip time from the Stroh Center is
7 p.m.

DEAR BRUCE: I live in a

town in Vermont that has stable
real estate prices. Our house
has been on the market since
spring and has been shown
only three times. The house
is worth about $270,000, but
were asking more because
we have a unique rental cabin on the property that is used
like a hotel, and for the last
three years it has consistently
netted around $23,000.
An alternative thought I
have is to lower the sale price
of the house to $270,000, but
create some type of agreement
where I get to keep operating/
profiting from the cabin for a
three-year period. At the end
of three years, we would release the business/cabin to the
owners of the house. Does this
type of agreement ever happen? -- A.K.
DEAR A.K.: As you say,
this is a unique situation, and
sometimes a unique situation
requires a unique approach.
Heres one:
Lets assume you agree
on the $270,000. Part of that
agreement could be that youl
have an ongoing lien on the
cabin, and until such time as
an additional amount of money is paid to you, you get the
right to use the place and in return youll give the new owner $3,000 or $4,000 a year for
his trouble.
Everyone can be happy, but
the problem is that you would
not be allowed to sell your interest to anybody else without
the new owners permission.
The agreement can say permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, but it very well
could be. In the meantime,
you could be getting another $20,000 a year coming in,
which is not exactly a bad bonus, and you sold the house.
DEAR BRUCE: I retired
in June 2014 after 32 years of
teaching. The school district
gave each retiree a $10,000
retirement incentive and paid
$30 for each unused sick day.
Each retiree was told that the
money had to be deposited
into a 403(b) account.
In July I received notification that the $10,000 was
deposited in full. I had 130
unused sick days, but only
$3,400 was deposited instead
of $3,900. When I called the
business office, I was told the
unused sick days were subject
to all taxes except federal tax.
If that is the case, why did I
have to put the money into a
403(b) account? Wont I have
to pay taxes again? -- L.H.
DEAR L.H.: Congratulations on your retirement.
I dont understand why the
money had to be deposited
in a 403(b), but if thats the
way it is, its not something
I would make a big fuss over
because apparently youre old
enough to make a withdrawal
from the 403(b).
You are complaining that

Money
the school district deposited
only $3,400 in your account,
which I assume means it sent
the other $500 to pay a state
tax of some kind. I dont think
youll have to pay the taxes again, and I am not even
certain the district had to pay
them for you.
The reality is its there, and
for 500 bucks, its not worth
chasing. You have likely received credit for the $500, and
if it is an overpayment, you will
receive a refund after you file.
DEAR BRUCE: My best
friend is unable to pay his
mortgage. Can he get his
payment changed to interest
only from principal and interest so that it will be affordable for him and he can avoid
foreclosure? -- J.M.
DEAR J.M.: Im sorry your
friend is in trouble. He can go
to the lender and explain that
he would like to work out a
plan where he pays only the
interest and does not have a
reduction of principal. The
lender can make that kind of
deal, but there is no way you
can force the lender to do that.
There are some plans available now to help folks such as
your friend, and I would like
to see him apply for some of
these. You should be able to
go to his community bank
and explain his circumstances. The staff there will have
the latest information on these
newer plans and may be able
to help him avoid foreclosure.
DEAR BRUCE: I know
annuities are not a great investment, but my question is for a
child who needs help managing finances because of a disability. I have thought about a
Vanguard annuity that will pay
monthly for life. Is that a good
way to put money away for
this circumstance? Or is there
a better way? -- Linda
DEAR LINDA: This is one
circumstance in which an annuity might very well be the
answer -- one that will make
payments for life, and then
whatever remains goes away
to the insurance company.
This way your payments will
be much larger.
I have not mentioned in my
answer the one company that
youre considering. It is a fine
company, but there are others
that you should investigate before you make this decision.

Budget
Councilman Josh Gillespie voiced

his concern about the number of pieces
of legislation with emergency language
included.
Everything that is brought to us is an
emergency, Gillespie said. Why arent
we following the procedures we have?
We are supposed to hold three readings
on resolutions and ordinances and then
if passed, there is a 30-day period before
they take effect. Im concerned that
everything is being pushed through.
Gillespie went on to say he felt
council had an obligation to review and
discuss legislation before passing it.
I think only about 10 percent of
what comes before us should be an
emergency, Gillespie said. It should
be the exception, not the rule.

A policy change from the Civil
Cone

The reconstruction of
Interstate 75 continues to
dominate ODOTs projects
in Allen County.
Slusher announced Project
3, the third of three projects
to reconstruct I-75 from the
Auglaize County line just
north of State Route 81, is set
to begin.
The continuation of the
reconstruction of 5.5 miles of
existing lanes on I-75 from
Fourth Street to the Auglaize
County line, Lima, includes
the replacement of overhead
structures at McClain Road
and Hanthorn Road and the
reconstruction of interchanges at SR 65 and Breese Road.
As always we will try
to minimize closures so
businesses and residents are
inconvenienced at little as
possible, Slusher said.
The District 1 budget
for the upcoming season is
$103,667,919 and includes
38 projects.
Phase 2 of the Main Street
(Lincoln Highway) reconstruction in Van Wert will
continue this spring. The
project includes widening
of Main Street from Fisher
Service Board was also approved

and changed language to the Original
Appointment Exams: Police and Fire
section, deleting the language: If no one
obtains a passing grade of 70 percent, at
the Boards discretion, the passing score
could be lowered to 60 percent. A grade
of 70 percent or higher will be needed to
pass the test.
The citys policy for selling unneeded, obsolete or unfit personal property
of the city also passed on third reading.
Coleman reported the maintenance
department is working on pot holes and
have already used five tons of fill.
They are working down the list and
anyone in the community can call the
city to report pot holes and they will be
put on the list and well get to them as
soon as we can, Coleman said.
Gallmeier said he has received
numerous calls from residents concerning the citys electrical aggregation plan
and anyone who did not receive a letter
from AEP Energy can call the company
and they are offering similar plans to
what the aggregation will save those
Street to John Brown Road,

including curbing, fivefoot sidewalks, curb ramps,
reconstruction of driveway
approaches, new storm sewer
piping, catch basins, man
holes and underdrains.
The $1,740,874 project is
expected to be completed in
October.
Local government projects in the county also
include a bridge replacement
on Township Road 41 over
the St. Marys River. The
$929,498 project will close
the roadway in the area of the
bridge for 90 days. Traffic
will be detoured during the
construction.
A bridge over the Little
Auglaize River on State
Route 697 will also be
replaced this season, detouring traffic during construction. The roadway is expected to be closed for 45 days
during the $556,049 ODOT
project.
US 224 two tenths of mile
south of US 30 will see a
repair, regrade and re-vegetation of the existing slope and
the graded shoulder. A pipe
underdrain will be added,
the paved shoulder will be
widened to the face of the
guardrail and a curb will be

added the entire length of the
guardrail. Catch basins will
be installed as needed with
outlets at the bottom of the
slope. Traffic will be maintained during this $720,445
project.
In Putnam County, work
will begin this summer on
two projects. The first is the
resurfacing of State Route
114 from State Route 694 east
of Cloverdale to the northwest edge of the Village of
Kalida for a total $647,773.
Traffic will be maintained
during the project.
The second is a $201,197
culvert replacement on US
224 a half-mile east of State
Route 634. Traffic will be
detoured during construction.
A
Putnam
County
Engineers project to replace
the bridge on Old State Route
12 over the Ottawa River
will close that roadway. The
$1,168,305 project is expected to take 90 days.

Residents who are planning to fill a
swimming pool or do extensive lawn
watering are reminded that to receive an
adjustment in their sewer bill, a temporary meter to register the water used for
these activities is needed.
A $50 deposit is needed for the meter
when picked up and it will be refunded when the meter is returned in good
working order.
Call 419-695-4010 for more information.
The city sent out reminder cards to
residents who used the adjustment policy last year.
In old business, Councilman Mark
Clement reminded the administration
council would like to see a concerted
effort in lowering pool ticket rates.
I would really like to see us give
back for what the residents have generously given to us with the passage of the
income tax increase, Clement said.
There will be a Finance Committee
meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday to discuss
returning department heads to full pay.
Letter sent to White House

tests tentatively for cyanide
WASHINGTON (AP) An envelope addressed to the White

House has tentatively tested positive for cyanide after two rounds
of analysis, the Secret Service said Tuesday. Additional testing
will be necessary to confirm the finding.
The letter was received Monday at a facility that screens mail
for the White House and is located away from the grounds of the
executive mansion and its surrounding buildings in the heart of
downtown Washington.
Initial biological testing came back negative, said agency
spokesman Robert Hoback.
Additional testing conducted Tuesday returned a presumptive
positive for cyanide.
The sample has been taken to another facility for further testing.
The Secret Service said its investigation into the letter was
continuing and it will have no additional comment on the matter.
Suspicious letters often are sent to some of the countrys
leading politicians, including the president. Some test positive
for hazardous substances while others include threats of death or
other physical harm.
In June 2013, a West Virginia man was indicted of charges of
threatening to kill Obama and his family in a letter that included profanity and racial slurs. A federal judge later dismissed
the charges after forensic handwriting analysis conducted by
the Secret Service showed that 20-year-old Ryan Kirker, of
McMechen, West Virginia, didnt write the letter.
Two months earlier, letters sent to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker,
R-Miss., and Mississippi judge Sadie Holland tested positive for
the poison ricin. The letters addressed to the president and to the
senator were intercepted before delivery, but one letter reached
Holland. She was unharmed.

Councilman Jeff Swick
said with 15 hours of service and $120 for two days

The Vantage All-Boards Dinner will be held at 6 p.m. on April
9 and there will be two speakers engaged in discussions about the
state budget, Wolfe said.
Wolfe said there are now three teachers, including Missy
McClurg, Josh Vasquez and Judy Bevington, who are credentialed
by Rhodes Community College to teach CC+ courses for next
school year.
Board members approved the Delphos Public Library
Permanent Appropriations of $883,700 for the 2015 Calendar
Year, accepted the donation of $2,000 from the Delphos Eagles and
approved the annual OSBA contract for Board Policy Services.
The Delphos Eagles wants us to use the donation however
we see fit, Wolfe said. The $675 fee for the OSBA contract will
cover modifications for new/revised policies; an updated Master
CD containing our district policies; and PDQ e-newsletter as
well as new/revised sample policies, which will be completed by
McClurg.
In addition, board members approved extra pays to Stephanie
Braun, John Edinger, Mark Fuerst Megan Ryan and Kay Gossman
at $11 each for Local Professional Development Committee; Ben
Rahrig for Quiz Bowl at $264.85; and Josh Vasquez ($127.80) and
Josiah Stober ($63.90) for Saturday School.
Board members accepted the resignation of Kory Zenz as
middle school intervention specialist at the end the current school
year.
He is resigning to accept a position with the Spencerville
School system, which is his hometown, Wolfe said.
Board members also agreed on establishing an Elementary
Technology position for grades 1-8 and assigned Jennifer McElroy
as the teacher.
The Board issued the following supplemental coaching contracts for the 2015-16 school year: volunteer varsity assistant
volleyball coach Cammy Miller, junior varsity volleyball coach
Melisa Smith and seventh-grade volleyball coach Jodi Cartegena.
All contracts are pending proper certification.
Board members approved dividing the assistant high school
football coaches salary between Principal John Edinger and
Brandon Behnfeldt for the 2015 season.
John stepped up and wanted to split the contract between he
and Behnfeldt, Wolfe said.
Its important to get more teachers coaching, Edinger said.
During the special meeting held prior to the Board meeting,
there was no opposition to the retire/rehire of Edinger.

Boyfriends denial of viewing

porn is reason for mistrust
for this problem. My boyfriend, who Ive been with for
two years, has recently started
watching hermaphrodite porn
on a website where there are
naked pictures of local girls.
Roy has admitted he
knows several of the girls on
the site. When I told him it
makes me feel insecure, he
lied and said he hadnt been
on it. Even though I showed
him the history, he still denied
it.
I dont know what to do. I
feel uncomfortable with him
now. I feel like Im not satisfying him or that he wants
someone else. -- INSECURE

INSECURE:
While Roy may have been
embarrassed to have been
caught, I am still troubled by
the fact that he wasnt honest
with you. Whether youre not
satisfying him is beside the
point.
That he lied to you in the
face of evidence to the contrary should be a wake-up
call. The question becomes
-- what ELSE has Roy been
less than truthful about? Does
he have a fetish? Is he bi-cu-
ing uncomfortable right now.

Rather than search for shortcomings within yourself, take
a long, hard look at Roy. Do
you need a boyfriend you
cant trust, particularly if you
think he may have had sex
with some of the individuals
who appear on a porn site?
DEAR ABBY: My mother
asked me on one hours notice
to take her on an errand. Although I wasnt planning on
going out that day, I obliged.
Because shes elderly, I
parked as close to the door
of the business as I could. I
honestly didnt see any signs
or any parking meters. When
we came out, there was a $25
ticket on my vehicle. I was so
upset Mom gave me a $20 bill
to help.
She now says she did it
because I made her feel guilty
and, since it is my car and
shes my mother, I should pay
for the whole thing and return
her money! I wouldnt have
been there in the first place if I
hadnt been doing her a favor.
I offered to pay $15 if shed
pay the rest. She refuses.
If Im stuck with the whole
thing I will resent it and wont
whole ticket. Who is right? -HELPFUL DAUGHTER IN

NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEAR DAUGHTER: Its
a shame your mother reneged
on her offer, but she wasnt
the person who was driving
that day. I sincerely hope you
wont let $20 cause a rift in
your relationship because it
would be childish.
In the future, look more
carefully to see how the parking is posted -- and now that
you know your mother can
manage, be less solicitous
when youre choosing a spot.
(If she really isnt able to
walk far, then her doctor will
give her a handicapped parking tag for you to hang on
your rearview mirror when
youre driving her.)

by Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips,

Do just one thing
Trash removal companies

like 1-800-GOT-JUNK do more
than come to your house and
take away the stuff you dont
want. Professional trash removal companies actually assess what you have and sort the
items based on what can be donated, recycled and ultimately
has to be sent to the landfill. For
hard-to-recycle items like electronics and mattresses, many
franchises do the hard work for
you, collecting items from multiple homes and then doing one
big trip to recycle them. They
also have relationships with
nonprofit organizations and
work hand in hand with them to
receive furniture, building supplies and other items you may
not even know you can donate.
When you are strapped for time
but have stuff to get rid of, using
a professional service may be
the greenest way to go.
