DELPHOS Terrie Kuhns is the newest
Habitat for Humanity homeowner in Delphos.
Kuhns and volunteers framed the home and
closed it in Saturday after the blessing of the
build.
Work will continue on the home, weather permitting, Saturday.
Volunteers are always needed, Habitat for
Humanity Construction Manager Roger Calvert
said.
We always need volunteers, Construction
Manager Roger Calvert said. We want a Habitat
build to be a community activity.
St. Johns Parish is asking for volunteers 18+
years old to assist with the project during the DSJ
Day of Building beginning at 8 a.m. May 9 at the
location of the newest Habitat Home at 1209 N.
Washington St.
Volunteers are needed to help shingle the roof
of the house and shed, provide physical labor, be
runners for the other volunteers and provide
meals for those working on the project.
Safety is the number one goal when building
a Habitat home and since many workers are volunteers and may have never swung a hammer,
Calvert said a mandatory safety course must be
taken online by all who work on Habitat builds.
The training course is at habitatlima.org. Click
on Volunteer Safety and read the section on
Mandatory Safety Training and click on hfhaffiliateinsurance.com/volunteers/ and take the following modules: You Are Exposed General
Affiliate Safety, Volunteering on a Habitat Job
Site, Ladder Safety, Fall Safety and Portable
Power Tool Safety. To begin, click Begin Now

There have been nearly 100 earthquakes and aftershocks, which is making rescue work difficult. Even the rescuers are scared and running because of
them, he said.
Tens of thousands spent the night
sleeping in parks or on a golf course.
Others camped in open squares lined
by cracked buildings and piles of rubble.
We dont feel safe at all. There have
been so many aftershocks. It doesnt
stop, said Rajendra Dhungana, 34,
who spent the day with his nieces family for her cremation at the Pashuputi
Nath Temple in Katmandu. Ive
watched hundreds of bodies burn.
The capital city is largely a collection of small, poorly constructed
brick apartment buildings. But outside
of the oldest neighborhoods, many in
Kathmandu were surprised by how
few modern structures collapsed in the
quake.

Ohio colleges
to offer drone
summit
DAYTON (AP) Two
Ohio colleges plan to launch a
drone summit in August to talk
about the future of unmanned
aircraft in the state.
Sinclair
Community
College and Ohio State
University are hosting the
Unmanned Aerial Systems
Academic Summit featuring
technology experts and academics in the aviation field, the
(Dayton) Daily News reported.
Deborah Norris, vice president of workforce development and corporate services
at Sinclair, told the newspaper the Federal Aviation
Administration has made significant progress setting regulations for unmanned aircraft
and that its an ideal time to
talk about how they will be
used in the future.
The FAA is drafting rules to
fly small drones weighing less
than 55 pounds within civilian airspace, the newspaper
reported. The FAA has given
waivers to some businesses to
fly drones while new rules are
pending.
A study by the Association
of Unmanned Vehicle Systems
International estimated that
integrating UAVs into civilian airspace could create 2,700
jobs and have a $2.1 billion
impact in Ohio by 2025. It
also estimated that 100,000
jobs could be added nationally
with an $82 billion economic
impact in the next 10 years.
Seth Young, director
of Ohio States Center for
Aviation Studies, said in a
statement that the purpose of
the summit is to keep up with
the rapid advancement of UAS
and educate students on UAS
research.
The conference will be on
Aug. 24 at Sinclairs downtown Dayton campus. The college is spending $5 million to
renovate a building on campus
for a drone training and certification center.
amputated in February.
In response, the villages
mayor is paying for training
that will encourage nonlethal
measures officers can take
when they encounter dogs.
I really felt this was
needed, said Mayor Richard
Harman. Weve been through
some tough times, and I want
to make this right for our community, our officers, and our
canine family.
He lobbied for the training
at the state level.
The need is there, he said.
Theres no question. It takes
this kind of initiative.
Lauren Bischoff, owner of
the dog that was shot, agreed
the training is needed.
Its a great step forward
when it comes to police training, she said. They deal with
animals on a daily basis, so
I would think youd want to
have that training just like they
do for dealing with people.
Delphos Senior Citizen Center, Inc., is gearing up for lawn mowing season. There
are still a few openings available if anyone 60 or over would like to have their lawn
mowed this summer. Call the Delphos Senior Citizens at 419-692-1331 for more
information. Above is Chore Supervisor Len Jarman, left, and worker Jeff Norris.

Van Wert scored again
in the bottom of the fourth

Henry continued to have a

again by the Jays halted what
could have been a big inning
for Van Wert as Heiing made
an acrobatic catch near the

of an extra-base hit.
The Van Wert defense answered in the top of the fifth
inning by pulling off its third
double play of the afternoon

Jays out in order.
Jesse Ditto relieved Elwer

Stockwell. Back-to-back free
passes to Rassman and Mercer got Boop home. Pulfords
grounder was booted, allowing Stockwell and Rassman to
touch the dish and put Mercer
at third, from where he scored
on Bullingers sacrifice fly to
center and an 8-0 edge.
The Lancers (5-10, 0-3)
sent 13 to the dish in the
home fourth. The first four
reached: Derek Youtsey (hit
by a pitch), Dalton Schmersal
(single to center) and walks to
Cole Schmersal and Roberts
plated Youtsey. After a ball
to Wyatt Schmersal, Jefferson starter Brandan Herron
was pulled for the southpaw
Rassman. The batter then hit
a tough-hop single that handcuffed second baseman Wollenhaupt and got D. and C.
Schmersal in; an error on the
play allowed the other runners
to move up a base. An error on
Keli Ralstons grounder got
Roberts and W. Schmersal in
for an 8-5 deficit. A balk advanced Ralston and he stole
third. After a bloop single to
short right by Chayten Overholt (with Ralston forced to sit
tight), the latter swiped second. Leeth walked to load the
bases and Dylan Lees sac fly
to center got Ralston home.
Youtsey forced Leeth at second. D. Schmersals knock
to left got pinch-runner Jake
Gibson home. C. Schmersal
was hit by a pitch and a wild
pitch plated Youtsey for an
8-8 tie.
Jefferson went up 9-8 in the
top half of the fifth on a leadoff walk (Wollenhaupt) and
back-to-back 1-out singles by
Boop which finished Roberts on the mound for Dalton
Schmersal and Stockwell,
with an error on the play scoring Wollenhaupt.
Lincolnview took its only
lead in the home fifth against
Bullinger. W. Schmersal

RICHMOND, Va. Kurt
Busch has spent time this year
in a Delaware courtroom, then
on NASCARs sidelines as he
served a 3-race suspension for
an alleged domestic assault on
a former girlfriend.
Now he has made a trip to
Victory Lane, where Busch
hoped his victory Sunday at
Richmond International Raceway will help him close one
of the messiest chapters of his
volatile career.
Standing on the truth the
whole time, that gave me the
feeling of when I do get back
to the car, its going to be
easy to focus and I think Ive
shown that, said Busch, who
still has a no-contact order
against him that was issued in
February by a Delaware Family Court judge.
The judge ruled that Busch
likely assaulted ex-girlfriend
Patricia Driscoll in September.
The 2004 series champion
dominated the rain-delayed
NASCAR Sprint Cup race
that was originally scheduled
for Saturday night under the
lights.
The Stewart-Haas Racing
driver led a career-best 291 of
the 400 laps on the 0.75-mile
oval, outrunning teammate
Kevin Harvick over the final
dozen laps to end a 35-race
winless streak.
Harvick, meanwhile, finished in the top two for the
seventh time in nine races
but said he had to rally after
his car struggled on one set of
tires and drifted back into the
pack.
The race looked much like
the Xfinity Series event Friday
night in which Denny Hamlin
led 248 of 250 laps and only
lost the lead during green flag
pits stops. This time, there
were actual green flag lead
changes but only two when
Busch passed Joey Logano
after 94 laps to take the lead,
and when Jamie McMurray
passed Busch after 262 laps.
Busch regained the lead
under caution and never relinquished it, beating Harvick

The outsourcing
of jobs has been a
painful,
recurring
theme in the past several years, but heres
a twist. According to
Consumer Reports,
more companies are
outsourcing customer service -- to their
own customers.
Remember when
attendants pumped
gas, clerks bagged
groceries and the
sales help measured
your feet before you
tried on a pair of
Fabrication & Welding Inc.
shoes? Today at Applebees and Chilis,
tableside computer
tablets allow patrons
to order food and
drinks and pay the
bill without a waiter.
Got a tech-support
problem? Forget the
help line. Just post
your question to a
companys message
board or community
forum on its website
and wait for amateur
troubleshooters to respond.
The do-it-yourself
economy is transforming industries,
services and society
at 4G speed. Why
have companies embraced self-service so
enthusiastically? To
save money. A customer service transaction handled by
a live agent usually
costs between $2 and
$10, compared with
just pennies for, say,
placing an order on-

dissatisfied
customer
spreads
the word to about 28
people.
Sidestep
automated phone menus.
Consumer Reports
suggests
checking
out websites such as
DialAHuman.com
and GetHuman.com,
which list hard-tofind customer service
numbers and advise
how to bypass automated prompts to get
a live person.
Use
the
E
word. If you make it
through to a live person and still feel you
are getting the runaround, tell the agent
you want to escalate your complaint.
Thats a guaranteed
attention grabber because agents can be
criticized for bumping too many calls
upstairs to a supervisor.
Climb the corporate ladder. If your
comments are ignored, go to the bottom of the websites
home page and sniff
around for hyperlinks to corporate
contacts, investor
relations, company
information and so
forth. Thats where
you can usually find
contact details for top
management.

Clinton Foundation
admits missteps in
donor disclosure
WASHINGTON (AP)
The acting chief executive
of the Clinton Foundation
is acknowledging the global
philanthropy made mistakes
in how it disclosed its donors
amid growing scrutiny as
Hillary Rodham Clinton opens
her presidential campaign.
In a blog posting Sunday,
Maura Pally defended the
foundations work and reaffirmed its commitment to
transparency, describing its
policies on donor disclosure
and contributions from foreign
governments as stronger than
ever.
Still, Pally said the foundation expected to refile some
of its tax forms, following a
voluntary external review,
because it had mistakenly
combined government grants
with other donations. She said
the foundation would remedy any errors but stressed
the total revenue was reported
accurately and that grants were
properly broken out on audited
statements on its website.
Yes, we made mistakes,
as many organizations of our
size do, but we are acting
quickly to remedy them, and
have taken steps to ensure they
dont happen in the future,
she said.
Pally also described the
foundations work with the
