Ohio clinics close,

abortions decline
COLUMBUS (AP) The number of
abortion providers in Ohio has shrunk by half
amid a flurry of restrictive new laws over the
past four years, and the number of the procedures also is declining, according to a review
of records by The Associated Press.
Both sides agree the added limits and hurdles placed on Ohio abortions have played
a role in facility closures reaching to every
corner of the nations 7th most populous state.
What is less clear is whether the downward
trajectory in procedures is a cause or an effect
of some of the most significantly reduced
abortion access in the nation.
Seven of 16 Ohio abortion providers have
either closed since 2011 or curtailed abortion
offerings, while an eighth, in Toledo, is operating under the cloud of pending litigation,
according to AP interviews and examinations
of state licensing and business records.
The plunge places Ohio second in closures nationally, behind Texas, where 17 of
40 providers have stopped operating since
2011. The recent shuttering of two of 20
abortion providers in Virginia is widely

considered the third most significant example, since one of the facilities was the states
busiest. Both states also have tightened
abortion laws.
Ohio saw induced abortions fall from
25,473 in 2012 to 23,216 in 2013 a period
when 5 of the 7 affected providers closed or
curtailed services state figures show. That
was the lowest level recorded since the state
began tracking the data in 1976, and part of
a general downward trend that began in the
late 1990s.
Abortion foes call the decisions of Ohio
facilities to close or to stop providing all types
of abortions a victory for their lobbying strategy, which has increasingly substituted sophisticated outreach and incremental legislative
proposals for the shock value of bloody fetal
photographs.
Ohio Right to Life President Mike
Gonidakis says expanded access to health
care for the poor and to crisis pregnancy counseling is also helping push abortions down.

TODAY IN HISTORY
By the Associated Press
Today is Monday, May 4, the 124th day
of 2015. There are 241 days left in the year.
todays Highlight in History:
On May 4, 1925, an international conference opened in Geneva to forge an agreement
against the use of chemical and biological
weapons in war; the Geneva Protocol was
signed on June 17, 1925 and went into force
in 1928.
on this date:
In 1776, Rhode Island declared its freedom from England, two months before the
Declaration of Independence was adopted.
In 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago,
a labor demonstration for an 8-hour work
day turned into a deadly riot when a bomb
exploded.
In 1904, the United States took over
construction of the Panama Canal from the
French.
In 1932, mobster Al Capone, convicted
of income-tax evasion, entered the federal
penitentiary in Atlanta. (Capone was later
transferred to Alcatraz Island.)
In 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the
first naval clash fought entirely with carrier
aircraft, began in the Pacific during World
War II. (The outcome was considered a tactical victory for Imperial Japan, but ultimately
a strategic one for the Allies.)
In 1959, the first Grammy Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Domenico Modugno won Record of the
Year and Song of the Year for Nel Blu
Dipinto Di Blu (Volare); Henry Mancini
won Album of the Year for The Music
from Peter Gunn.
In 1961, the first group of Freedom
Riders left Washington D.C. to challenge
racial segregation on interstate buses and in
bus terminals.
In 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen opened
fire during an anti-war protest at Kent State

University, killing four students and wounding nine others.

In 1975, comedy performer Moe Howard
of Three Stooges fame died in Los Angeles
at age 77.
In 1980, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, president of Yugoslavia, died three days before his
88th birthday.
In 1994, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat signed
an accord on Palestinian autonomy that granted self-rule in the Gaza Strip and Jericho.
In 2000, the destructive ILOVEYOU
malware, sent by e-mail, began to infect
computer networks and hard drives across
the globe. Londoners chose political maverick Ken Livingstone to be their first elected
mayor.
ten years ago: A military judge at
Fort Hood, Texas, threw out Pfc. Lynndie
Englands guilty plea to abusing Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, saying he was
not convinced the Army reservist knew her
actions were wrong at the time. (England
was later convicted in a court-martial and
sentenced to three years in prison she
served half that term.) A suicide bombing
at a police recruitment center in Irbil, Iraq,
killed 60 people. Prosecutors rested their case
in the molestation trial of Michael Jackson,
who ended up being acquitted. Retired Army
Col. David Hackworth, 74, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran who spoke out against
the war and later became a journalist and
advocate for military reform, died in Tijuana,
Mexico.
Five years ago: A Pakistani-born U.S.
citizen was charged with terrorism and
attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in the botched Times Square bombing. (Faisal Shahzad later pleaded guilty to
plotting to set off the propane-and-gasoline
bomb in an SUV and was sentenced to life

Britain has a
new princess
and eagerly
awaits her name
LONDON (AP) From
Prince Charles to royal fans to
most of those who put down
a bet, millions in Britain were
hoping for a girl.
The
Duchess
of
Cambridge delighted her
nation and royal enthusiasts
around the world Saturday
by delivering one such princess. The royal birth was
greeted with cheers and
elated cries of Hip, hip,
hooray! outside St. Marys
Hospital in London, where
fans and the worlds media
have waited for days.
The baby Prince
William and Kates second
child was born Saturday
morning and weighed 8
pounds 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms), officials said. She is
fourth in line to the throne
and the fifth great-grandchild of 89-year-old Queen
Elizabeth II. Britain hasnt
welcomed a princess born
this high up the line of succession for decades.
It may be a day or two
before the world knows what
to call her. When Prince
George, her older brother,
was born in 2013, royal officials waited two days before
announcing his name.
Speculation about the

new royals name has been

frenetic, and all the top bets
for the babys name have
been for girls: Alice and
Charlotte are the clear favorites, followed by Elizabeth,
Victoria and Diana all
names with strong royal connections. Royal children are
usually given several names
the babys brother was
christened George Alexander
Louis so the princesss
name could incorporate more
than one of those guesses.
Anticipation had been
building for weeks after
Kate, 33, told a well-wisher she was due around late
April. Still, journalists were
caught slightly off guard
when she delivered barely
three hours after checking
into the hospital at dawn
Saturday. William, 32, was
present at the birth.
The couple later emerged
on the hospital steps with
the infant to briefly pose
for photographers before
leaving for their home at
nearby Kensington Palace.
Kate, who wore a yellowand-white floral shift dress
by British designer Jenny
Packham, held the sleeping
baby wrapped in a white
shawl.

Columbus airport might need new terminal

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A study that
says the Port Columbus International Airport
might not be able to handle the growing number of travelers flying to and from there over
the next 15 years, has prompted a preliminary
plan to replace the airports terminal.
Officials with the Columbus Regional
Airport Authority have developed a $1.3 billion plan that would include a larger terminal
located to the west of the current one, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
The study presented to the airport authori-

BRIEFS
Vets medical
care to expand
under Air
Force, VA pact
DAYTON (AP) An
agreement intended to help
decrease wait times for veterans seeking medical care has
been forged between Air Force
and Veterans Affairs officials
in Ohio.
The five-year agreement
signed by Wright-Patterson Air
Force Medical Center and U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs
officials allows VA medical
facilities in Ohio to send veterans to Wright-Pattersons
medical center for inpatient or
outpatient services.
The VA in many parts of
the country has been plagued
by long wait times for patients,
and VA facilities across the
nation are working to cope
with rising demand for care.
Officials have said they hope
the agreement will significantly increase the number of VA
patients who can seek treatment at the hospital and also
allow the medical center to
better use its resources.
We think this cost-effective solution could be a model
for other regions as well, Col.
Tim Ballard, the 88th Medical
Group commander at WrightPatterson, said in a statement.

Boat safety
course offered
Information Submitted
OREGON An Ohio
Boating Education Course will
be offered in two sessions on
May 18 and May 20 at the
Bass Pro Shops, 10000 Bass
Pro Blvd., Rossford, from
5-9 p.m., according to the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) Division
of Watercraft. The fee for the
course is $5, which covers the
cost of course materials. Preregistration is required due to
class size limitations.
The Ohio Boating Course
covers a variety of boating topics such as navigation rules,
boating and personal safety
equipment, navigational signage, Ohio boating laws and
much more.
Ohio law requires any person born on or after Jan. 1,
1982, to be able to show proof
they have successfully completed an approved boating
safety education course if they
operate any watercraft powered
by a motor greater than 10
horsepower.
For additional information or to R.S.V.P., contact the
Maumee Bay Watercraft Office
at 419-836-6003 or visit the
agencys web site at http://
watercraft.ohiodnr.gov.

ty this week estimates the number of passengers could grow at an average pace of 1.8 percent per year. By 2032, the number of annual
passengers could surpass 8 million, putting a
strain on the terminal, the study said.
The plan calls for a terminal with 48 gates,
a parking garage with 5,441 spaces and a separate rental-car facility, both within walking
distance of the new terminal expected to cost
$603 million. A ground transportation center
would include space for a possible light-rail
service between the airport and downtown

Columbus.
The plan is still in the early stages, and the
authoritys board of directors is not taking any
immediate action, the newspaper reported.
Something of this magnitude would
require a 10-year planning and construction
cycle, board member William Heifner said.
So, if we had to do something in 2030, wed
need to start planning in 2020, he said.
Elaine Roberts, the authoritys CEO, said
the first phase would involve infrastructure
improvements and construction of a rent-

al-car facility. That facility is estimated to

cost $181 million.
The number of passengers at Port
Columbus was up 2.1 percent in 2014, to 6.4
million. For the first three months of this year,
passenger growth is up 4.1 percent.
Roberts said faster growth could speed up
the need for the new terminal.
But the economy could change, the airlines could change, growth could be slower,
Roberts said.

Getting to know a field Tensions rise

operations director
over proposed

Lauffler
BY JIM LANGHAM
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT Very few
people in Van Wert County
are familiar with the name
Richard Lauffler and yet he
has had considerable direction in many of their lives,
even personal safety.
For 25 years, Lauffler
has served as a field operations director with the Ohio
Emergency
Management
Association. But although
his responsibilities originate
at the state level, he is a
liaison between state funding
and assistance to the residents of Van Wert County
through local EMA director
Rick McCoy.
For 24 years he has assisted in evaluating our yearly
hazardous materials review,
said McCoy. During the tornado, he spent a considerable
amount of time assisting in
securing funds for the recovery of our community.
Lauffler was actually in
Van Wert for two weeks to
provide assistance for the
local EMA upon request
during tornado cleanup and

recovery. McCoy said that

when he needed quick assistance to take care of something, Lauffler would mediate
immediately and secure what
was needed for that particular
need.
McCoy noted that through
his career, Lauffler has been
there to mediate with state
officials for specific needs
of Van Wert residents upon
request.
He has been of great
assistance to the people of
our county, said McCoy.
These days, Lauffler is
caught up in a state reorganization shuffle that is going
to transfer him to another
area until his retirement. As
always, he is willing to serve
state residents in what capacity he is needed.
Concerning his 25 years
as a field operations director,
Lauffler said, I have always
defined myself as a jack of
all trades. I am in the field
of helping local county EMA
officials in preparing their
plans for safety and assistance to their residence. I do
that by planning, training and
responding during an event if
requested.

It is always my goal to
help the local organization
in its response to recovery,.
I do all that I can to help
them restore normalcy to the
affected area. I guide them
through assessing the situation of what assistance might
be needed. I do all I can to
help them receive the assistance that is needed.
Lauffler was raised in the
Wheeling, West Virginia,
area. Following high school,
he served in the U.S. Coast
Guard for nine years with a
background in structural firefighting as a member of the
Support Centers Fire Dept.
in Kodiak, Alaska, and shipboard firefighting damage
controlman on the GC Cutter
Salvia.
Lauffler started with Ohio
EMA in March of 1990 and
has 25 years of experience
with the agency in response
to natural & human-made
disasters. Prior to being a

pipeline

MEDINA (AP) Homeowners in northeast Ohio

said tensions surrounding a proposed underground pipeline are rising after a project manager informed property
owners that surveyors may enter their property without
permission.
The letter, signed by project manager Walton Johnson,
said work on the Nexus gas transmission pipeline must be
conducted without delay, The Medina Gazette reported
(http://bit.ly/1zk2sGf). The letter indicated that if property
owners hadnt granted permission for property access by
May 1 in order for surveyors to provide advanced notice,
Nexus may enter properties without consent to perform
necessary survey activities.
The proposed pipeline would run through nine Ohio
counties. The 200-mile corridor of 42-inch-diameter pipe
would be capable of transporting as much as 2 billion
cubic feet of gas per day, an amount that would meet the
needs of around 20,000 homes for a year. Gas from the
pipeline would be made available to industry and to gasfired power plants.
While some have been fighting the pipeline since its
introduction, some property owners say the letter has
increased tensions. Paul Gierosky with the Coalition to
Re-route Nexus, said people are questioning the demands
of the letter and feeling threatened.
Jon Strong, also with the Coalition to Re-route Nexus
and a recipient of the letter, called the pipeline fight an
ugly process.
My fear is that its going to escalate, he said. People
just have a feeling no ones listening to them.
Walter Giebeler and his wife Verna, have put up no
trespassing signs with symbols of guns on their York
Township property. Giebeler said hes almost 80 years
old, and has no intention of giving in to the pipeline
developers.
Even if I end up in prison, Im not going to give one
foot of my property away, he said. I dont make it secret
about how I feel about it. My wife and I are running out
of patience.

LOS ANGELES The Avengers

are mighty, but not enough to beat
themselves. The Marvel and Disney
sequel earned a staggering $187.7 million in its debut weekend, making it
the second biggest U.S. opening of all
time according to Rentrak estimates
Sunday.
But Avengers: Age of Ultron
failed to top the all-time record of
the first films $207.4 million debut
in 2012.
Although Ultron was the only
new film in wide release this weekend,
it had some significant small screen
competition: The Kentucky Derby,
the NBA playoffs, and the Floyd
Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao
fight.
Numbers could shift by the time
Monday actuals roll in, but it seems
the robust counter-programming may
have blockaded another record for
Marvel and Disney.
Still, for Disneys head of distribution Dave Hollis, the weekend was
a spectacular result for the film,
which cost a reported $250 million to
produce.
Playing on 4,276 screens, the audiences for Ultrons debut were 59
percent male and 41 percent under the
age of 25.
Were in rare air here, said Hollis.
Having the second biggest opening
weekend in the history of the movie

happy with. The momentum of the
brand for Marvel at this point is really something to take a step back and
admire.
Marvel and Disney now boast the
top three opening weekends of all time
with Avengers and its sequel taking
the top two slots and Iron Man 3 in
third place.
Hollis said this is confirmation
that these films are bringing a completely different kind of filmmaking
to cinema. Theyre creating events
and characters and building worlds in
a way that is drawing the attention of
huge crowds.
Rentraks Senior Media Analyst
Paul Dergarabedian agreed that the
failure to top the first film is in no
way a disappointment.
You have to put this into perspective. Considering the level of competition this weekend in the sporting
world, it shows that movie going holds
its own against all other options, he
said.
Also, while the first films $207.4
million haul might just seem like a
new benchmark to hit, Dergarabedian
was quick to point out that opening
above $200 million was literally like
breaking the box office sound barrier.
Instead of a new industry standard,
a $200 million opening might continue
to be an industry rarity.
Ultrons future success is not in
doubt either.

Beallsvilles loss of Vietnam

War soldiers still felt
BEALLSVILLE, Ohio
(AP) The teenage boy
spotted a U.S. military vehicle creeping slowly up the
farms driveway and minutes later saw his dad dart
for the cornfields, as if trying to outrun the news.
Even at 14, Roger
Schnegg knew in an instant
what that surreal scene
meant: He had lost his older
brother in the Vietnam War.
And there was nowhere he
could go or his dad could
run to escape that agony in
the village of 450.
Because the entire village felt it.
Everyone in this town
tucked between coal mines
and rugged hills in southeastern Ohio already carried
the emotional wounds of
Vietnam.
Two other sons of
Beallsville already had
been lost in the war before
Charles Schnegg died.
Then came another.
Then another.
And another.
Every time you turned
around, there was another
young man from our little
town dying in that war,
said Roger Schnegg, now
62. All this time has
passed, but they will never
be forgotten. Their service,
the anger at the war, the
reaction to it back here in
the States, is all still so real
for many of us.
Thursday was the 40th

Saigon and the end of

the Vietnam War, but
Beallsville sees no end to
the wars haunting legacy.
Thats in part because
the Appalachian village in
Monroe County carries the
distinction and burden
of the highest per-capita
casualty rate of any U.S.
community during the
Vietnam War.
The unpopular war took
six of its sons between 1966
and 1971.
To
descend
into
Beallsville from a rolling
hillside on Route. 145, one
must pass five of the six
graves. The dead rest in a
cemetery overlooking their
old high school and the
football field where some
of them once played.
The towering Beallsville
Veterans Memorial at the
cemetery entrance commands attention, drawing
visitors to look up toward
the vast gray sky above.
Below it are more
than 100 bricks honoring
Beallsville veterans who
have served in the military.
But its the deaths and
memory of Schnegg, 20;
Jack Pittman, 20; Duane
Greenlee, 19 (the only one
not buried in the Beallsville
Cemetery);
Richard
Rucker, 20; Robert Lucas,
20; and Phillip Brandon,
19, that has brought repeated national attention to a
village that hasnt always
wanted it.

Through the years, on

earlier anniversaries of the
war, or when the U.S. had
declared war against other
nations, visits by reporters
stirred up memories that
some have tried to put in
the past.
Some also have been
angered by media reports
that suggested that only
farmers, coal miners
and soldiers are born in
Beallsville.
We have produced some
doctors, lawyers, executives
and other professionals,
Shirley Neiswonger said
proudly while sipping a
cup of coffee at the Historic
Beallsville Diner. But, yes,
we are most proud of what
our boys have done for this
country.
And for some of the 408
residents who remain in
Beallsville, the feeling of
trespassing on hurtful emotions has been replaced by
a desire to have their own
remembered and honored.
I knew every one of
those six boys. We havent
forgotten them, and I dont
want the world to, either,
said John Gramlich, 59, the
Beallsville mayor, between
shifts at one of the local coal
mines. My father owned a
pool hall in town, and they
all would come in to play
and have a sandwich. It was
just so hard for us when
we lost them, but so much
worse on their families.

Indiana man receives

fathers WWII dog
tags, lost since 1945
NEWBURGH, Ind. (AP) An Indiana man says a sharpeyed French railroad worker who found and returned his
fathers long-lost World War II dog tags is a special guy he
hopes to visit next year.
The worker, Jeremy Masclif, was digging along railroad
tracks in Voves, France, when he spotted a metallic glint and
dug deeper, unearthing the dog tags Olis Leroy Medcalf had
lost while serving in northern France in 1945.
Masclif turned to the Internet and found the name of
someone he thought might be a relative of the late Dale,
Indiana, man. With the help of a translator, he wrote a letter to
Newburgh resident Paul Medcalf, asking if he was Medcalfs
son.
After the pair traded information, he mailed off the dog
tags.
He told me his story and that he felt very moved the
Yanks are coming to come over and help free France and so
he wanted to send them to me, Medcalf told the Evansville
Courier & Press. I think he felt very honored.
Medcalf received the dog tags around his birthday in late
March. They were grimy after 70 years in the dirt, but his wife
cleaned them and theyre now shiny, appearing almost new.
Medcalf said he hopes to travel to Voves, France, sometime
next year to meet Masclif and his family.

Warriors roll past Grizzlies

101-86 in Game 1 of West semis
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. Golden State
Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked before
Game 1 of the Western Conference
semifinals that reporters should have
two stories ready: One if his team looked
well-rested and won, another if it looked
rusty and lost.
It was right in the middle, so youve
got to write a third story, he teased
afterward.
Neither the Warriors nor Grizzlies
really felt good about the way they
played. The difference is the Warriors
did what they usually do at home: take
care of business and comfortably,
too.
Stephen Curry had 22 points and
seven assists, and the Warriors wore
down undermanned Memphis in a 10186 victory in Sundays series opener.
I think now weve got the cobwebs
out of our offensive game. We should be
able to build some momentum, Curry
said.
Klay Thompson added 18 points and
Draymond Green scored 16 to help the
top-seeded Warriors roll to their 21st
straight win at raucous Oracle Arena.
They led by nine at the half, 20 late in the
third quarter and never let the Grizzlies
come close in the fourth despite Green
and center Andrew Bogut getting in foul
trouble.
Marc Gasol had 21 points and nine
rebounds, and Zach Randolph finished
with 20 points and nine rebounds for
a Memphis team missing point guard
Mike Conley. He sat on the bench in a
suit, his left eye still swollen, as he continues to recover from surgery to repair

broken bones in his face.

Conley said he has no idea whether
hell play in Game 2 of the best-of-7
series Tuesday night in Oakland.
The Grizzlies could use all the help
they can get right now. Curry, the MVP
favorite, got off to a slow start before
joining the sweet-shooting performance
Golden State put on in front of its home
crowd.
The Warriors shot 50.6 percent,
including 46.4 percent from 3-point
range (13 of 28), to keep fans that
formed a sea of golden yellow shirts
roaring all afternoon. Memphis shot
45.2 percent but was just 3 of 12 (25 percent) from beyond the arc. Both teams
had 16 turnovers.
I didnt think the game was physical
at all, Gasol said. We didnt bring it to
that point yet. I hope, the next game, we
have to bring it to our advantage.
The Warriors, coming off a firstround sweep of New Orleans that earned
them an 8-day layoff, picked up right
where they left off.
Curry pushed the pace from start to
finish and the Grizzlies never could slow
Golden State down. The Warriors went
ahead by 16 in the second quarter and
Curry kept the pressure after Memphis
moved within seven.
The Grizzles missed a chance to
surge back when Bogut and Green got in
foul trouble late, sending the defensive
duo to the bench. Memphis never could
put together a big push against Curry
and company, with Gasol and Randolph
coming out in the last few minutes to
rest up for Game 2.
Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said he

has to do a better job of keeping at least

one of his two big men on the floor at
all times but thought missed layups and
poor offensive execution hurt them more
than anything.
Golden State improved to 42-2 at
home this season.
Team executive Jerry West gave
general manager Bob Myers the NBA
executive of the year award during an
on-court presentation before the game.

WIZARDS 104, HAWKS 98

ATLANTA After resting up for the
past week, the Washington Wizards merely
had to withstand Atlantas early pace.
Once the Hawks ran out of gas, Bradley
Beal and the Wizards took control.
Just call them the road warriors.
Beal shook off a sprained ankle to score
28 points and streaking Washington remained
unbeaten in the postseason, knocking off
top-seeded Atlanta 104-98 Sunday in Game
1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
It was another gritty performance by the
Wizards, who improved to 8-1 on the road in
the playoffs over the past two postseasons,
including 3-0 this year. They became the
first team in NBA history to win four straight
Game 1s on the road.
Taking advantage of a week off since
their sweep of Toronto, the Wizards wore
down the Hawks in the fourth quarter. Otto
Porter scored a couple of big baskets coming
down the stretch, including a 3-pointer, and
Marcin Gortat sealed it with a lay-in off a
pass from Wall with 14.6 seconds remaining.
The Hawks needed six games to beat
eight-seeded Brooklyn and had to open this
best-of-7 series with about a 36-hour turnaround. After racing to a 37-26 lead after the
first quarter, Atlanta couldnt make anything
in the fourth.
Even with plenty of good looks, the
Hawks hit only 5 of 28 (17.9 percent) in the
final period, including 1 of 10 from beyond
the 3-point arc.
Game 2 is Tuesday night in Atlanta.

Raburn, Kipnis spark Tribe by Jays

Associated Press
CLEVELAND Terry
Francona thought his team
was at a crossroads Sunday.
After Torontos 6-run
fourth inning, which included
a grand slam and two fielding gaffes, Cleveland trailed
6-1 and appeared en route to
another defeat.
Francona and several
players spoke up in the dugout and the Indians rallied.
Pinch-hitter
Ryan
Raburns tie-breaking, 2-run
double capped a 6-run fifth
inning, Jason Kipnis had four
hits and the Indians defeated
the Blue Jays 10-7.
Guys were very forward

in being vocal and said what

needed to be said, Kipnis
said. Were not good enough
to play that stupid the way
we did in the first couple of
innings.
Kipnis also homered
and drove in two runs for
the Indians, who overcame
Devon Travis first career
grand slam.
That fourth inning was
a tough one to take on a
lot of levels, Francona said.
Whether we hit a switch
or whatever, we played the
game the way youre supposed to. We got after it and
stayed after it.
Michael Brantleys 2-run

single off Jeff Francis (1-1)

tied the score in the fifth and
Raburn, batting for David
Murphy, lined a double over
third for an 8-6 lead.
Marc Rzepczynski (1-0)
pitched a scoreless inning for
the Indians, who gained a
4-game series split with just
their fourth win in 12 home
games this year.
Raburn, who hit .200
with 22 RBIs during an injury-filled 2014, is batting .400
with 10 RBIs in 40 at-bats,
including a .457 average (16
for 35) against left-handers.
Cleveland starter Trevor
Bauer allowed six runs, seven
hits and three walks in 4

1/3 innings. Torontos Drew

Hutchison gave up six runs
and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Mental mistakes in the
field by Bauer and first baseman Carlos Santana helped
Toronto to its early lead.
Kipnis hit a solo homer in
the third but the Blue Jays put
up their second 6-run inning
in as many days.
Santana ran across the
infield to catch Kevin Pillar
off third base after fielding
Ryan Goins second-inning
grounder but failed to make
the tag, allowing Toronto to
load the bases.

Teheran sharp for 6 innings, Braves beat Reds

Associated Press
ATLANTA A memorable afternoon for Kelly Johnson
almost didnt happen.
Johnson was a last-minute addition to the lineup and he hit a
2-run homer as the Atlanta Braves shut out the Cincinnati Reds
5-0 on Sunday.
Johnson also got to greet his son at third base as part of a Little
League pregame ceremony where local youngsters get to meet a
Braves player at each position before the first inning. His son was
waiting for Johnson when he took the field.
It was special for me, for sure, Johnson said. His team had
a blast.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez announced Saturday he was planning on resting Johnson after seven straight starts. Gonzalez
changed his mind when he arrived at the ballpark Sunday.
Sooner or later, were going to give him one because hes
not a young kid anymore but it was one of those gametime decisions, Gonzalez said. I had the mindset of giving him a day off
and I started messing around a little bit and we decided to give
(Alberto) Callaspo a day off and it paid. It made me look good.

Julio Teheran gave up just three singles in six sharp innings as

Braves got a split of the 4-game series.
Teheran (3-1), an NL All-Star last year, came into the game
with a winning record despite three straight sub-par starts. He
struck out five in a row during one point and fanned a season-high six overall.
Teheran was never threatened after the Braves built an early
4-0 lead. He walked two.
He pitched a nice ballgame and never gave us anything, said
Reds manager Bryan Price. He just really shut us down.
Cody Martin, Michael Kohn and Luis Avilan combined for
three innings of 1-hit relief as the Braves recorded their second
shutout of the season.
Reds shortstop Zack Cozart left the game in the fourth when
he bruised his right index finger fielding a grounder by Teheran.
He was charged with an error. X-rays were negative.
Johnny Cueto (2-3) was roughed up from the start, allowing
five runs and nine hits in six innings.

SAN FRANCISCO Rory McIlroy
didnt need another comeback to win the
Match Play Championship.
Three times in the last three days, McIlroy
had to rally to reach the championship match
Sunday at TPC Harding Park. He removed
any suspense by winning four straight holes
against Gary Woodland.
Woodland conceded the 16th hole and
McIlroy captured his second World Golf
Championship with a 4-and-2 victory. Three
weeks after Jordan Spieth won the Masters
and emerged as the most likely rival, McIlroy
reminded the world of his No. 1 ranking.
It was the first time since Tiger Woods
in 2008 that the No. 1 seed won golfs most
unpredictable tournament. Woods did it two
other times.
McIlroy was 2 down with two holes to
play and risked being eliminated Friday
when he rallied against Billy Horschel to
win in 20 holes. In a quarterfinal match that
spilled into Sunday morning, he was 1 down
to Paul Casey on the 17th hole and wound up
beating him in 22 holes.
His strongest play was in the semifinals
against Jim Furyk, who put enormous pressure on McIlroy over the closing holes by
hitting four straight approach shots close.
McIlroy delivered a birdie-birdie-eagle finish to win. Woodland faced an early deficit
to Danny Willett of England in the semifinals until he turned it around for a 3-and-2
victory.
McIlroy who turns 26 today won for
the second time this year and the 16th time
worldwide. It was his 10th PGA Tour victory,
joining Woods (24) and Jack Nicklaus (12)
as the only players with at least 10 victories
at age 25 or younger.

The Match Play Championship featured

a new format this year to keep more top
players in the field for at least three days.
McIlroy was 3-0 in the round-robin format
and wound up winning all seven matches to
pick up the $1.57 million prize.
NORTH TEXAS SHOOTOUT
IRVING, Texas Inbee Park won the
LPGA Tours North Texas Shootout for the
second time in three years, closing with a
bogey-free 6-under 65 for a 3-stroke victory.
Park finished at 15-under 269 at Las
Colinas for her second victory this year
and 14th on the tour. The 26-year-old South
Korean player, ranked second in the world,
won in March in Singapore.
Cristie Kerr and Hee Young Park tied for
second. Kerr had three consecutive birdies to
finish her round of 66. Hee Young Park also
had a 66, birdieing the final two holes after
her only bogey at No. 16.
Lexi Thompson, who shared the thirdround lead with Inbee Park, closed with a 69
to tie for fourth with Maria McBride (65) at
11 under.
Top-ranked Lydia Ko, coming off a win
last week in California, had a 71 to tie for
41st at even par. The 18-year-old from New
Zealand is donating her $6,241 check to
Nepal earthquake relief.
INSPERITY INVITATIONAL
THE WOODLANDS, Texas Ian
Woosnam made a 30-foot birdie putt in a
playoff to win the Insperity Invitational for
his first Champions Tour title.
Woosnam, the 57-year-old Welshman
playing on a sponsor exemption, beat Kenny
Perry and Tom Lehman on the first extra hole
at The Woodlands Country Club. The 1991
Masters champion was making his 36th start
on the 50-and-over tour.

See REDS, page 7

Woosnam closed with a 4-under 68 to

match Perry and Lehman at 11-under 205.
Perry finished with a 66 and Lehman shot 69.
In the playoff, Lehman sliced his approach
on the par-4 18th into the water and Perry left
a long birdie try 8 feet short before Woosnam
rolled in the winner.
Woosnam earned $307,500. Last week in
Missouri, he teamed with Sandy Lyle to tie
for second in the Legends of Golf. Woosnam
won 29 times on the European Tour, captained Europes winning 2006 Ryder Cup
team and has five victories on the European
Senior Tour.
Second-round leader Michael Allen shot
a 72 to finish a stroke back along with Joe
Durant (71).

NBA Playoff Glance

Jeff Gordons costly mistake
helps ruin weekend at Talladega
Associated Press
TALLADEGA, Ala. Jeff
Gordons mistake on pit road helped
sour a promising weekend at Talladega
Superspeedway.
Penalized for speeding on pit road,
Gordon was dropped back to 30th for
the final restart Sunday after spending
much of the race up front.
Im not happy with myself, really, Gordon said. I made that mistake
coming to pit road. That was a make-orbreak moment in the race. It could have
put us in the lead. Instead we were the
tail end of the longest line.
Gordon had every reason to expect a
happier ending. He started from the pole
for the 80th time at a track where hes
won six times and led 47 laps. Hendrick
Motorsports had the strongest cars in
the field and it was clear Gordon was a
contender for the win.
Because this is his retirement tour,
Gordon had even hung out with friends
on Talladegas boulevard, a party spot
hed avoided for at least a decade.
Instead, Hendrick teammate Dale
Earnhardt Jr. wound up winning and
Gordon was saddled with a 31st-place

finish. The four-time NASCAR champion as if he had the ride to be celebrating

on Victory Lane.
You want to seize those opportunities, Gordon said. This was an
opportunity for us. We had an awesome
race car. I definitely feel like we had the
best race car. Junior was good, Jimmie
(Johnson) was good but I felt like we
were amazing. Thats frustrating. I think
the most frustrating thing is making a
mistake.
At Martinsville, I made a mistake.
Here I made a mistake. Weve got to
eliminate those mistakes when we have
race cars like this, because we have an
awesome race team.
It has just been that kind of year
for one of NASCARs most successful
drivers. He said he knew he was going
too fast but couldnt get the car slowed
down in time.
At Martinsville, he had a similar
blunder. Gordon took the lead with 58
laps to go but got penalized for speeding
entering pit road and only managed to
squeeze back into the Top 10.
He wrecked on the last lap of his final
Daytona 500, where he also started on
the pole and led 77 of the first 100 laps.

He limped across the finish line in 33rd.

Gordons race at Talladega ended
similarly since he couldnt make up
much ground after restarting.

Edwards and Kenseth question lack of caution at end of race: Carl Edwards and Matt
Kenseth were both frustrated with the end of
the Sprint Cup race Sunday, where NASCARs
decision not to throw a caution allowed drivers to
speed past Edwards spinning car.
Edwards was spun heading into the first turn
of the last lap and his Toyota slid twice toward
the grass and twice back onto the track. NASCAR
didnt call a caution, which Edwards said allowed
other drivers to pass him at high speeds as his car
was out of control.
The biggest cause of injury is going to be
one of us not checking up when theres a guy
sideways, Edwards said. Ive got my door facing
the field and (Justin Allgaier) car goes by at about
160, 180 mph. Thats not the way I try to race these
guys when theres a wreck. Thats very frustrating.
Kenseth said he did get out of the gas because
if he didnt, hed have hit his Joe Gibbs Racing
teammate and likely injured him.
I had to lift so I didnt send Carl to the hospital, Kenseth said. Im just dumbfounded that
NASCAR didnt throw a caution. We were driving
past wrecked cars for half a lap at 180 mph.
NASCAR officials were not immediately
available to comment on their decision to let the
race continue after Edwards spin.

(Continued from page 6)
Francona said Santana began the play correctly, but should
have thrown the ball to Lonnie Chisenhall as he neared third
base.
Bauer fielded Ezequiel Carreras high chopper but didnt
get an out as Pillar scored for a 2-1 lead.
Toronto went 3-7 on its longest scheduled trip this season.
Russell Martin hit a solo homer off Cody Allen in the ninth.
TOUGH DAY
Bauer admitted he was extremely frustrated after the
fourth inning but was happy with the final results.
TRAINERS ROOM
Blue Jays: SS Jose Reyes (left rib fracture) has been on the

15-day DL since April 28.

Reds

(Continued from page 6)

Andrelton Simmons and
Freddie Freeman hit back-toback doubles in the first and
Johnson followed that with a
2-run drive. Johnson leads the
Braves with five home runs.
Cueto escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second
but surrendered a solo home
run to Jonny Gomes in the
third.
Cameron Maybin added
an RBI single in the sixth
inning after Cueto balked
Peterson to second base.
TRAINERS ROOM
Reds: RHP Jason Marquis

his right forearm. Price said

he expects Marquis to make
his next start.
UP NEXT
Reds: The Reds have an
off-day today and open a
3-game series at Pittsburgh
on Tuesday. Rookie Michael
Lorenzen (0-1) will make his
second career start after going
five innings in his debut, an
8-3 loss to the Brewers.
ROUGH DAY
After enjoying a stellar
first three games in the series
(6 for 13 with a home run),
Cozart had a rough finale.
Prior to leaving with the injury, he was hit by a fastball in
the first inning and grounded
out in his only other at-bat
before leaving the game.

(Continued from page 6)

Kaufman, the 23-year-old former LSU player from Birmingham,

Alabama, had two double bogeys on the back nine in a closing 1-over
73 to finish at 10-under 278 at Victoria National. He matched the
course record with a 64 on Saturday to take a 4-stroke lead into the
final round.
Kaufman earned $108,000 to jump from 28th to fourth on the
money list with $159,535. He was coming off consecutive fourthplace ties in the Louisiana Open and Mexico Championship after
missing the cuts in his first three starts of the year.
Jonathan Randolph (69), Adam Long (73) and Ryan Spears (74)
tied for second.

to you. Then ask yourself if you
want to continue like this indefinitely, because he appears to have
changed considerably. Is he the
kind of husband you would want
for a lifetime? If not, you might
be better off with someone more
responsive, because this appears
to be the status quo, and the man
has shown himself to be unlikely

Taxes saved by switching bonds may be small

DEAR BRUCE:
I have $100 U.S. EE
Savings bonds. The
interest on them is 4
percent. When I cash
them in, I will be paying federal income tax
(about 17 percent), but
no state tax. I am considering cashing them
in now and buying
state municipal bonds
paying 3.5 percent
interest, which is not
taxable by federal or
state. Is this a wise decision? -- George
DEAR GEORGE:
The difference between the 4 percent
(taxable) and the 3.5
percent (no tax) is
modest. You didnt tell
me how many bonds
you have purchased,
but if its a significant
amount, maybe that
will differ in percentages. If its a couple of
bonds a year, I would
leave it the way it is.
Its your call, but I
dont see any major
difference in terms of
your net return.

Smart
Money
want to take it off our
hands, but we would
have to pay them upfront. That leads us
to think it would never be recorded, and
the company and the
money would be gone,
leaving us still being
owners.
It appears that sales
are still being made
to new owners, who
probably dont have
any idea what they are
getting into. Do you
have any idea how we
can get rid of this? -B.H.
DEAR
B.H:
Youre in a tough spot.
Unfortunately,
the
whole time-share idea
is OK until you dont
need it anymore.
There is little or
no active resale on
time-shares. Plenty of
companies will say
they will move your
property for you, but
they want you to pay
them up-front, and
that leads me to believe you will be a little poorer than you are
now. Its very likely
that sales are still being made to new own-

ers who dont know

what theyre getting
into, but there is nothing you can do about
that, as well.
What you can do
is offer to turn over
the time-share to the
company that sold it
to you at no cost to
the company or yourself. Let the company
know you have limited income and you are
not interested in keeping the property. The
company will have to
take whatever action it
thinks is appropriate.
You can advertise
the time-share for free
and see if you get any
takers that way, or you
could consult an attorney to find out exactly
how much you owe
and perhaps work out
a settlement.
Aside from that,
Im afraid youre
stuck.

Do just one thing

Great news: Spring vegetable gardens

are just around the corner. If you found
yourself battling harmful insects last time
you got your green thumb on, dont reach
for chemical insecticides just yet. Instead,
plant smarter by choosing the right types of
vegetables to group together. Did you know
tomatoes repel caterpillars that chew on cabbage leaves? Or onions, with their pungent
taste and smell, repel most pests? And radishes attract leaf miner insects to the leafy
greens on top, but the insects have no effect
on the actual radish itself underground? By
adding onions, radishes and tomatoes, you
can create a natural insect barrier to help
your garden thrive.
-------------After opening up gifts, dont toss gift
wrap into the paper recycling bin. Yes, gift
wrap is paper, but its usually coated with a
shiny laminate that makes it nearly impossible to recycle. The same goes for the ribbons, string and tissue paper you might get.
If you throw these into a paper recycling bin,
they can contaminate a load of recyclable
paper, and guess what? The whole bin will
get tossed into the landfill. Keep gift wrap
(and related accessories) out and consider
wrapping gifts with recyclable paper like
newsprint and kraft paper in the future.

Baltimore mayor lifts curfew 6 days after riots

BALTIMORE (AP) Six days after riots
sparked by Freddie Grays death, Baltimores
mayor lifted a citywide curfew Sunday and
faith leaders called for continued activism until
justice is achieved.
A jubilant crowd of several hundred prayed
and sang civil-rights anthems at a City Hall
rally. Sundays peaceful gathering came two
days after the citys top prosecutor announced
criminal charges against six officers involved
in Grays arrest.
Speaker after speaker exhorted the crowd
not to rest just because the officers have been
charged. The Rev. Jamal Bryant, a fiery leader
of the protests that followed Grays April 12
arrest and the death of the 25-year-old black
man a week later, drew deafening cheers when
he said the officers deserve jail time.
Weve got to see this all the way through,
until all six officers trade in their blue uniform
for an orange uniform, Bryant said. Let them
know: Orange is the new black.

The Rev. Lisa Weah, pastor of the New

Bethlehem Baptist Church in Grays neighborhood, said the message of equal justice for all
must not be lost.
Our prayer is that Baltimore will be the
model for the rest of the nation, she said.
After nightfall Sunday, the large intersection
of west Baltimore that was focal point of tense,
nightly standoffs between police and protesters was relatively quiet. There was no obvious police activity and no one demonstrating
despite the presence of media at the site on the
first night without a curfew since the violence.
Police said Sunday that 486 people had
been arrested since April 23, and that 113
officers had been injured at riots and protests.
The extent of the officers injuries was unclear.
Earlier in the week, police had said that out of
nearly 100 injured officers, 13 were hurt to the
extent that they couldnt work, and 15 were on
desk duty.

Israeli Ethiopian
protest against
racism turns violent
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Several thousand people from
Israels Jewish Ethiopian minority protested in Tel Aviv against
racism and police brutality on Sunday, shutting down a major
highway and clashing with police on horseback long into the
night.
The protest was mostly peaceful during the day, but by nightfall became violent with at least 20 officers hurt and multiple
protesters arrested, Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Protesters threw rocks and bottles at officers in riot gear.
Police deployed officers on horseback and used stun grenades
to try and control the crowds in central Tel Aviv. Local media
reported protesters tipped over a police vehicle and set fires near
city hall.
Channel 2 TV said the protesters came from all over the
country.
I am here to fight for our rights, a woman named Batel
from the northern city of Nazareth Illit told the station.
I dont want to be beaten by police, said the 21-year- old,
who didnt give her last name. My parents didnt immigrate
here for nothing. I want equality.
Simmering frustrations among Israels Ethiopian community boiled over when footage emerged of an Ethiopian Israeli in
an army uniform being beaten by police last week. Thousands
of Ethiopian Jews live in Israel, many of them secretly airlifted
into the country in 1984 and 1990, but their absorption into
Israeli society has been difficult. Although they are Jewish,
Ethiopian community members complain of racism, lack of
opportunity in Israeli society, endemic poverty and routine
police harassment.
Police chief Yohanan Danino told Channel 10 TV that the
use of violence by a small minority of the many protesters does
not serve their struggle. He added, Whoever harms police or
civilians will be brought to justice.
Activists told the station they dont want violence to escalate
to the level seen in Baltimore where the death of a man in police
custody sparked riots. One man held a sign reading: Bibi, you
had better not let Baltimore reach Israel, referring to Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his nickname.
Police said thousands of people took part in Sundays protest.
Protesters blocked roads in central Tel Aviv as well as a main
highway leading to the city during the day.

between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. had been in place

since Tuesday; officials had originally planned
to maintain it through this morning. Protests
since last Mondays riots have been peaceful,
and Fridays announcement of charges eased
tensions.
Mayor
Stephanie
Rawlings-Blake
announced the curfews end in a statement.
My number one priority in instituting a
curfew was to ensure the public peace, safety,
health and welfare of Baltimore citizens, the
Democratic mayor said. It was not an easy
decision, but one I felt was necessary to help
our city restore calm.
States Attorney Marilyn Mosby has said
Gray died after suffering a broken neck while
inside a police van. On Friday, Mosby filed
charges against the officers involved in his
arrest and transport. One is charged with second-degree murder. Three others are charged
with involuntary manslaughter and two with
second-degree assault.

With rescue near,

Boko Haram stoned
Nigerian girls to death
YOLA, Nigeria (AP)
Even with the crackle
of gunfire signaling rescuers were near, the horrors
did not end: Boko Haram
fighters stoned captives
to death, some girls and
women were crushed by
an armored car and three
died when a land mine
exploded as they walked
to freedom.
Through tears, smiles
and eyes filled with pain,
the survivors of months in
the hands of the Islamic
extremists told their tragic
stories to The Associated
Press on Sunday, their
first day out of the war
zone.
We just have to
give praise to God that
we are alive, those of us
who have survived, said
27-year-old Lami Musa as
she cradled her 5-day-old
baby girl.
She was among 275
girls, women and their
young children, many
bewildered and traumatized, who were getting
medical care and being
registered a day after
making it to safety.
Nigerias military said
it has freed nearly 700
Boko Haram captives in

the past week. It is still

unclear if any of them
were among the so-called
Chibok girls, whose
mass abduction from their
school a year ago sparked
outrage worldwide and a
campaign for their freedom under the hashtag
#BringBackOurGirls.
Musa was in the first
group of rescued women
and girls to be transported
by road over three days to
the safety of the Malkohi
refugee camp, a dustblown deserted school
set among baobab trees
opposite a military barracks on the outskirts of
Yola, the capital of northeastern Adamawa state.
Last weeks rescue
saved her from a forced
marriage to one of the
killers of her husband, she
said.
They took me so I
can marry one of their
commanders, she said
of the militants who carried her away from her
village after slaughtering
her husband and forcing
her to abandon their three
young children, whose
fates remain unknown.
That was five months ago
in Lassa village.

Nepal shuts airport to big jets; more bodies found

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP)
Runway damage forced Nepalese
authorities to close the main airport
Sunday to large aircraft delivering aid
to millions of people following the
massive earthquake, but U.N. officials
said the overall logistics situation was
improving.
The death toll climbed to 7,276,
including six foreigners and 45 Nepalese
found over the weekend on a popular
trekking route, said government administrator Gautam Rimal. Nepals Tourist
Police reported that a total of 57 foreigners have been killed in the April 25
quake, and 109 are still missing, including 12 Russians and nine Americans.
The airports main runway was temporarily closed to big planes because
of damage. It was built to handle only
medium-size jetliners, but not the large
military and cargo planes that have been
flying in aid supplies, food, medicines,
and rescue and humanitarian workers,
said Birendra Shrestha, the manager of
Tribhuwan International Airport, located
on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
There have been reports of cracks
on the runway and other problems at
the only airport capable of handling

jetliners.
Youve got one runway, and youve
got limited handling facilities, and
youve got the ongoing commercial
flights, said Jamie McGoldrick, the
U.N. coordinator for Nepal. You put on
top of that massive relief items coming
in, the search and rescue teams that have
clogged up this airport. And I think once
they put better systems in place, I think
that will get better.
He said the bottlenecks in aid delivery were slowly disappearing, and the
Nepalese government eased customs
and other bureaucratic hurdles on
humanitarian aid following complaints
from the U.N.
The government has taken note
of some of the concerns that weve
expressed to them, he said.
Kai Tabacek, a spokesman for the
British charity Oxfam, said the main
problem was that Kathmandu airport
was too small to deal with huge volume
of traffic. Of course, there have been
some delays, but these have more to do
with the challenge of moving large volumes of goods than customs.
Airport congestion was only the latest complication in the global effort

to aid people in the wake of the April

25 quake, the impoverished countrys
biggest and most destructive in eight
decades.
Nepals geography of high mountains
and difficult road networks is always
going to be a challenge, McGoldrick
said. Airlifting goods by helicopter
right now is quite limited, he said.
People in Nepal both in remote
villages and the capital, Kathmandu
have complained about not seeing any
rescue workers or international aid and
about a lack of temporary shelters, with
many sleeping out in the open because
of fears of aftershocks bringing down
their damaged homes.
U.N. humanitarian officials said that
they were increasingly worried about
the spread of disease. They said more
helicopters were needed to reach isolated mountain villages that were hard to
access even before the quake.
The true extent of the damage from
the earthquake is still unknown as
reports keep filtering in from remote
areas, some of which remain entirely
cut off. The U.N. says the quake affected
8.1 million people more than a quarter of Nepals 28 million people.

Mosby said Grays neck was broken because

he was placed head-first in a police van, handcuffed and later in leg shackles, where he was
left to slam against the walls of the small metal
compartment. Police said the officers who
arrested Gray ignored his cries for help because
they thought he was faking his injuries. He was
repeatedly denied medical attention.
Rioting and looting erupted hours after
Grays funeral last Monday. A 10 p.m.-5 a.m.
curfew was ordered Tuesday after a night
of violence, looting and arson. About 3,000
National Guard soldiers were deployed to the
city along with 1,000 extra police officers,
including some from out of state. Republican
Gov. Larry Hogan said the Guard and the
officers would be leaving over the next few
days.
We think its time to get the community
back to normal again, Hogan said. Its been
a very hard week, but weve kept everybody
safe.

back to the mid-19th century or earlier, the wood has rotted
away, leaving only the outer layer of cement or brick. This
preservation of the wood, while unusual, does bode well
for any future exploration, a fairly common practice among
those in the know and something that Spring has expressed
an interest in doing.
And rightly so; both amateurs and professionals familiar with old cisterns and privies refer to them as treasure
troves. While still in use, homeowners, business owners
and anyone passing by would often throw their trash into the
sump. Add to that the occasional accidentally dropped item
and these old privies have become an archaeologists dream
of old glass bottles, buttons and coins.
I just told my neighbor that I want to pump it out and get
down there with a metal detector, Spring said. Ill let you
know what I find.
