AMELIA, La. (AP) —
The oil-and-seafood hub of
Morgan City has been hit by
one disaster after another,
from hurricanes to the BP
oil spill. The latest trouble
involves a deluge of water
that was diverted from the
Mississippi River and is head-
ed toward the town of about
12,000 people.
The Army Corps of
Engineers, desperate to save
Baton Rouge and New Orleans
from flooding, opened a spigot
on a spillway over the week-
end, intentionally flooding
this part of Cajun country, an
area much less populated. But
the cascade of water from the
Morganza floodway is ham-
pering the local oil industry
and fishermen on the bayou.
Meanwhile, what is
believed to be the first death
related to the flooding since
the river’s rising waters
began affecting Mississippi
and Louisiana was reported
today in Vicksburg, Miss.
Walter Cook, 69, died early
today at a hospital after being
pulled from floodwaters
Wednesday.
Also, the threat of flooding
prompted at least one school
district in Louisiana to end
the school year early. Students
in Assumption Parish schools
will not have to attend classes
next week because the school
board voted Wednesday to end
the school year on Friday.
Back in Morgan City on
Wednesday, Harry Ribardi,
a shrimper, was still waiting
on the check BP promised to
make up for his losses last
year. Now he’s facing another
man-made disaster.
“This water is messing me
up right now,” Ribardi, 68,
said in a heavy Cajun-French
accent. “Even if it don’t flood
me, it’s going to shove the
shrimp way offshore where
it’s hard to get them.”
The Morganza floodgates
send Mississippi River water
down a 20-mile spillway and
into the Atchafalaya River.
Homes spread along the river
south to Morgan City are vulner-
able when the Atchafalaya spills
over into the complex of bayous
and lakes common in the basin.
And while Morgan City
has a 20-foot floodwall that is
expected to protect the town,
workers have rushed sand-
bags into place and shored up
levees just in case. National
Guardsmen have zipped up
and down the road along the
bayou, troops loading four-ton
sand bags and lugging them
into place. The river is expect-
ed to crest here May 25.

its current 88 counties under
a money-saving idea from the
state auditor.
Auditor Dave Yost this
week told an Ohio Senate
panel that making it easier for
counties to merge would cut
costs through the consolidation
of offices and services.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports Yost told reporters
after his testimony that the
state has had 88 counties for
a long time but there’s nothing
“magic” about the number. He
says state budget cuts might
lead neighboring counties to
decide it would make financial
sense to combine and have one
prosecutor and one sheriff.
Senate takes action
to address prescription
drug abuse
COLUMBUS — The
Ohio Senate took bipartisan
action Tuesday to address the
scourge of prescription drug
abuse, the fastest-growing
drug problem in the nation
and now the leading cause of
accidental injury death among
Ohioans.
Senators voted 30-0 to
approve House Bill 93, which
creates five new policy initia-
tives:
• Requires a performance
analysis of the Ohio Automated
Rx Review System
• Limits the ability of pre-
scribers to personally furnish
controlled substances
• Reforms certain Medicaid
provisions to improve con-
sumer education and allow for
better care coordination
• Improves licensing and
law enforcement issues related
to pain-management clinics
• Develops a statewide
prescription drug “take-back”
program
“This is a crisis that’s
reaching epidemic proportions
across Ohio, and it crosses
every geographic, social and
economic boundary,” said
State Senator Jimmy Stewart
(R-Albany), who sponsored
the Senate companion bill to
House Bill 93. “Fatal over-
doses more than quadrupled
in the last decade, and we’re
losing an average of four
Ohioans every day to this form
of drug abuse. I’m encouraged
by the legislative action we’ve
taken so far, but this is only
the beginning of the battle to
get a crisis that’s impacting
thousands of Ohioans under
control.”
According to national sta-
tistics, prescription drug addic-
tion now fatally claims more
victims than crack cocaine in
the 1980s and heroin in the
1970s combined.

trains staff
on death
notifications
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Seated in an audience of doc-
tors, nurses and faculty at
University Hospital’s amphi-
theater on a recent morning
in May, Michael and Stefania
Urbisci of Green Township
held hands and listened atten-
tively to a presentation about
the hospital’s new training on
death notification.
It’s a process the Urbiscis
care greatly about because
of the manner in which they
were told of their daughter’s
passing roughly a year ago.
Not only do the Urbiscis
feel the doctor who delivered
them the irreversible news did
so in a terse and compassion-
less manner, but another staff
member told their 20-year-
old son Alessandro — who
had been driving and was also
injured — while he lay alone
in a separate hospital room.
Over the course of the last
year, hospital officials say
they listened to the Urbiscis’
complaints and developed
unique training they hope will
ensure professionalism and
respect for patients and their
loved ones.
Dr. Jay Johannigman,
director of the Division of
Trauma and Surgical Critical
Care at University Hospital,
said the Urbiscis’ experience
brought him to a realization.
“We simply weren’t
meeting patients’ needs,”
Johannigman said. “None of
us have really ever had the
preparation (to notify loved
ones of an individual’s pass-
ing) in a fashion anything akin
to how we are prepared to
practice operations or diag-
nose medical diseases.”

abuse is a major contributor
to the problem, citing fraud-
ulent, improper or abusive
actions related to the prescrib-

trolled substances. The report,
which included case studies
in Ohio, found that 70 percent
of people abusing pain killers
obtained them from friends
and relatives. House Bill 93

Dear EarthTalk: With all
the talk of the need for safe,
renewable energy sources,
isn’t the elephant in the
room really that we should
use far less energy than we
do? Wouldn’t more rules
about conservation (like not
leaving commercial building
lights on all night) make the
challenges easier?
— Jennifer B., New York,
NY
In short, yes: Scaling back
our energy consumption sig-
nificantly, whether voluntarily
or as a result of laws and regu-
lations, would go a long way
toward achieving our pollution
reduction and air and water
quality goals. But Americans
— and to a lesser extent those in
many other developed nations
— have never been very good
at using less of anything, let
alone the energy that makes
everything in our whiz-bang
modern world possible. That
said, conservation is going to
play an increasingly impor-
tant role in all of our lives as
we struggle to reduce our col-
lective carbon footprints in a
quickly warming world.
President Obama has
repeatedly highlighted the need
for greater conservation efforts
when it comes to shoring up
our existing and future ener-
gy reserves and reducing our
dependence on foreign sources
of oil. The American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009
set aside upwards of $3 billion
to bolster efforts across the
country to weatherize existing
buildings in order to conserve
energy.
Grants to local communi-
ties for such projects, along
with calls for voluntary reduc-
tions in energy consump-
tion, are part of the plan. The

Student loans, pensions
now in govt’s crosshairs
By DAVID ESPO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
White House and key law-
makers are considering reduc-
tions in student loan subsi-
dies, farm payments and sup-
port for federal workers’ pen-
sions as they search for cuts
that can clear the way for an
increase in the national debt
limit, according to officials in
both parties.
The negotiations are still
in the early stages, with no
final decisions made, these
officials said Wednesday.
While the amounts involved
so far are relatively modest,
the talks led by Vice President
Joe Biden appear likely to
assume greater public promi-
nence with the evident col-
lapse of a freelance attempt
by the “Gang of Six” senators
to produce a sweeping bipar-
tisan plan to reduce red ink.
“We’re talking (about cuts
totaling) $200 billion, $150
billion and we have to get
up into the trillion range or
more,” said Sen. Jon Kyl,
R-Ariz., one of six other
lawmakers taking part in the
talks at Blair House across the
street from the White House.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is
Despite their deepening politi-
cal divide, the United States
and Saudi Arabia are quietly
expanding defense ties on
a vast scale, led by a little-
known project to develop an
elite force to protect the king-
dom’s oil riches and future
nuclear sites.
The U.S. also is in discus-
sions with Saudi Arabia to cre-
ate an air and missile defense
system with far greater capa-
bility against the regional rival
the Saudis fear most, Iran.
And it is with Iran mainly in
mind that the Saudis are press-
ing ahead with a historic $60
billion arms deal that will pro-
vide dozens of new U.S.-built
F-15 combat aircraft likely to
ensure Saudi air superiority
over Iran for years.
Together these moves
amount to a historic expansion
of a 66-year-old relationship
that is built on America’s oil
appetite, sustained by Saudi
reliance on U.S. military reach
and deepened by a shared
worry about the threat of al-
Qaida and the ambitions of
Iran.
All of this is happening

saying he wanted to devote
“all his energy” to battle the
sexual assault charges he
faces in New York.
The IMF’s executive board
released a letter from the
French executive Wednesday
in which he denied the allega-
tions lodged against him but
said that with “sadness” he
felt he must resign. He said
that he was thinking of his
family and that he wanted to
protect the IMF.
“It is with infinite sadness
that I feel compelled today to
present to the executive board
my resignation from my post
of managing director of the
IMF,” the five-paragraph let-
ter said. “I think at this time
first of my wife — whom I
love more than anything —
of my children, of my family,
of my friends. I think also of
my colleagues at the Fund.

averted a partial government
shutdown in April.
Any discussion about sav-
ings from Social Security,
Medicare and possibly
Medicaid is likely to be set
aside for President Barack
Obama and Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, to handle.
Treasury Secretary Tim
Geithner has said Congress
must raise the $14.3 trillion
debt limit by Aug. 2 or risk a
first-ever government default.
Republican leaders, acknowl-
edging the need for new bor-
rowing authority, want cuts of
at least the same magnitude as
any increases as a way to gain
control over future spending.
Some of the cuts under
review were first advanced by
the administration, and oth-
ers were included in a bud-
get that Republicans passed
in the House last month.

the Arab-Israeli peace process
that President Barack Obama
has so far failed to advance,

security, with Saudi Arabia
ranking as the third-largest
source of U.S. oil imports.
It also figures prominently
in U.S. efforts to undercut
Islamic extremism and pro-
mote democracy.
The forging of closer U.S.-
Saudi military ties is so sen-
sitive, particularly in Saudi
Arabia, that the Pentagon
and the State Department
declined requests for on-the-
record comment and U.S. offi-
cials rejected a request for
an interview with the two-
star Army general, Robert G.
Catalanotti, who manages the
project to build a “facilities

decision on the eve of a bail
hearing today that could have
spelled the end of his leader-
ship of the IMF anyway. He
faces charges of assaulting a
maid at a New York hotel.
The maid, a 32-year-old
immigrant from the West
African nation of Guinea, told
police that the 62-year-old
Strauss-Kahn came out of the
bathroom naked, chased her
down, forced her to perform
oral sex on him and tried to
remove her underwear before
she broke free and fled the
room.
If a New York judge
denies bail for Strauss-Kahn
or imposes highly restrictive
conditions on his freedom,
the IMF’s executive board
would have expected him to
resign, two senior IMF offi-
cials said earlier Wednesday.

Obama’s own budget pro-
poses letting interest begin
to accumulate on government
loans to graduate students
while they are still in school,
rather than begin accruing
when they finish. The savings
for the government are esti-
mated at $18.1 billion over
a decade, money the White
House wants to use to expand
Pell Grants for education.
Going one step further,
Republicans want to allow
interest to accrue on loans to
undergraduates still in school,
at a savings estimated at an
additional $46.5 billion over
10 years. Unlike the White
House, the GOP would apply
all of the savings to deficit
reduction.
Obama’s deficit commis-
sion called for eliminating the
current in-school interest sub-
sidy, citing a recent report by
the College Board that said,
“There is no evidence that
eliminating in-school interest
is critical” to the decision a
student makes about enrolling
in school.

wider. A formerly secret State
Department cable released
by the WikiLeaks website
described the mission as pro-
tecting “Saudi energy produc-
tion facilities, desalination
plants and future civil nuclear
reactors.”
The cable dated Oct.
29, 2008, and released by
WikiLeaks in December said
the Saudis agreed to a U.S.
recommendation to create the
program after they received an
Energy Department briefing
on the vulnerability of certain
oil facilities.
The program apparently
got under way in 2009 or
2010, but it is not clear how
much of the new force is oper-
ating.
from its Washington head-
quarters.
The two officials spoke
on condition of anonymity
because of the highly sensi-
tive situation. Strauss-Kahn
is jailed in New York City.
Attempts to reach his lawyers
were unsuccessful.
The IMF’s statement late
Wednesday said the process of
choosing a new leader would
begin, but in the meantime
John Lipsky would remain
acting managing director.
One of the IMF officials
said earlier Wednesday that
the fund had yet to speak
with Strauss-Kahn since his
weekend arrest. There were
no procedures for suspend-
ing or placing its leader on
extended leave.
While Strauss-Kahn
remains confined to a Rikers
Island jail cell, the dividing
lines are sharpening in a dis-
pute over whether someone
from a rich or an emerging
economy should lead the IMF
after his exit.
Europe is aggressively
staking its traditional claim
to the top position. But
fast-growing nations such
as China, Brazil and South
Africa are trying to break
Europe’s grip on an organi-
zation empowered to direct
billions of dollars to stabilize
the global economy.

St. John’s, Kalida set up district baseball showdown

St. John’s senior shortstop Tyler Bergfeld grabs the
throw from junior catcher Austin Reindel and tags out
Leipsic’s Brady Schroeder in the third inning Wednesday
in district baseball semifinal action at Elida. The Blue Jays
scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to knock off the
previously-unbeaten Vikings 2-0.
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
ELIDA — Both base-
ball games at Wednesday’s
Elida District semifinal were
doozies, to say the least.
The opener saw St. John’s
sophomore right-hander Curtis
Geise outduel previously-
unbeaten’s Leipsic’s Travis
Schroeder in a 2-0 thriller at
Ed Sandy Field.
The nightcap was even bet-
ter; Kalida scored a run in the
bottom of the 11th inning to
seize a 4-3 victory.
The Blue Jays (14-4) and
Wildcats (12-5) set up a dis-
trict-final showdown at 5 p.m.
Friday with a trip to the Patrick
Henry Regional on the line.
Tied at 3-3 heading into the
bottom of the 11th, winning
pitcher Paul Utendorf (5-0;
5 innings, 4 hits, 4 strike-
outs; 2-for-4) led it off with a
double to right center against
the fourth Jefferson pitcher,
senior Nik Moore (1.1 innings,
1 hit, 1 unearned run, 3 Ks)
and two outs later, stole third.
Kristopher Osterhage was
intentionally walked. Tyler
Heitmeyer (2 walks) fanned
on a pitch in the dirt and
the ball got to the backstop;
Utendorf scored the winning
run to end the contest.
“How important was the
stolen base there? Instead of
being on third and scoring,
he’s only on third,” Kalida
mentor Jim McBride noted.
“Paul had gotten a big enough
lead and he took advantage of
it. That’s how we had to come
back today; there was no quit
in this group today. We strug-
gled in the field early — at
least four of the guys we had in
Tom Morris photos
and made the plays. Logan
(Recker) made an outstand-
ing play in the ninth inning to
keep the score tied.”
Jefferson coach Doug
Geary wasn’t disappointed,
even in the loss.
“It’s still a tough way to
lose but in 10 innings, we only
made that one real mistake.
I couldn’t be prouder of the
effort we gave today,” Geary
noted. “We had scouted Kalida
before and knew Heitmeyer
struggled with curve balls.
The ball was just in the dirt,
bounced off Justin (Rode’s)
chest protector and got far
enough away from them to
score. It was just a heck of a
game.”
The Jeffcats (13-10) got to
Kalida starter Jordan Laudick
(6-plus IPs, 6 hits, 3 unearned
runs, 4 Ks) in the top of the
first. Moore (3-for-6) singled
to center, with Recker (2-for-
6) unable to come up with
a diving grab. Tony George
sacrificed him to second and
an error on a Drew Kortokrax
(4.1 IPs; 3 hits, 3 earned runs, 7
bases-on-balls, 5 Ks) grounder
allowed Moore to score the
first run.
Kalida wasted Utendorf’s
leadoff walk, stolen base (3 for
the game) and wild pitch that
got him to third as Kortorkax
struck out the side.
Delphos left a pair of run-
ners on base: back-to-back
infield hits by Mike Joseph
and senior Nick Cook with
two down.
Kalida tied it with two
down in the home half: a
line shot to right by Nathan
Kortokrax (3-for-5) and a dou-
ble to the gap in right center by
Laudick.
on a 1-out comebacker by
Curtis Miller and scored as
Justin Rode blooped a hit to
right.
D. Kortokrax walked the
bases loaded in the third:
Nick Guisinger (1 out) and
Heitmeyer and Jordan
Ellerbrock (2 outs).
The Red and White went
up 3-1 in the fourth as senior
Jordan Vorst got aboard on
an error to lead it off, Joseph
sacrificed, and, an out later.
Moore was safe on a 2-base
throwing error, allowing Vorst
to touch the dish.
Delphos could not score the
rest of the way.
“We had 10 hits and we
tried to manufacture runs all
day. We managed to do that
in the first four innings but we
couldn’t after that,” Geary said.
“Their pitchers did a great job.
However, my four pitchers did
an outstanding job. We had it
lined up the way we wanted
and things went according to
plan. They were hitting their
spots and following our game
plan coming in.”
The Jeffcats left a runner on
first — Joseph, via a single —
with two down in the sixth.
Kalida chased D.
Kortokrax in the fifth. Recker
led off with a knock to left
and swiped second. Guisinger
walked. An out later, a wild
pitch advanced both runners.
Heitmeyer walked to load the
sacks and Ellerbrock walked
to force in Recker and finished
Kortokrax, with Cook com-
ing on in relief. N. Kortokrax
greeted him with a shot to
center, scoring Guisinger;
however, Joseph cut down
Heitmeyer trying to score.
Cook then retired the last bat-
ter of the inning to keep it at
3-3.
Kalida wasted 1-out infield
hits by Utendorf and Recker
(bunt) in the sixth against the
third Delphos pitcher, Miller.
Heitmeyer was plunked in
the seventh by Miller but a
4-6-3 double-play ball helped
get Delphos out of the frame.
Moore led off the seventh
with a liner to left, finishing
Laudick’s stint on the mound
and bringing in the southpaw
Utendorf. He then retired the
side.
“Jordan pitched well
enough to win. He had pitched
in the earlier game and did a
fine job, so we decided to go
with him,” McBride added.
“Paul also came in and did a
great job. I have three seniors
and it has been since their
freshman season that we made
it this far. I am so proud of
them, my coaching staff and
everybody with this team.”
Utendorf got to second in
Cook singled to center and
Moore singled to left. George
lined hard to left center; Recker
came up with a brilliant diving
catch and with both runners
going on the pitch, he easily
doubled off Cook at second.
Miller singled with one
down in the 10th and went to
second on a ground-ball out by
Rode but was left there.
N. Kortokrax got aboard
with a 1-out 2-bagger in the
10th, bringing in Cook in relief.
A fly ball to center pushed him
to third but he was left there.
Delphos got a 2-out double
to right center by Cook (3-for-
4) and a passed ball got him 90
feet away from a leading run
but he could not get home.
“I had these four seniors
(including Ben Babcock) as
JVs for two years and they
went 22-33 in those years and
last year on varsity,” Geary
added. “That shows you how
far they have come. At one
time, we were 3-7 this year
and to win 10 of the next 13,
losing to quality teams like
Crestview and Bluffton.”
In the opener, St. John’s
scored the only two runs in
the bottom of the sixth against
Schroeder (5-1; 6 IPs, 3 hits, 3
unearned runs, 2 walks, 5 Ks;
86 pitches, 53 strikes). Tanner
Calvelage got aboard via an
error to lead it off and stole
second. Ty Bergfeld sacrificed;
an error on the play allowed
Calvelage to come around to
score. In turn, Bergfeld stole
second and after an intention-
al walk to Jordan Leininger,
Austin Vogt slapped a hit to
right to get Bergfeld in for that
all-important second run.
Ty Maag led off the Leipsic
seventh against Geise (5-0; 7
innings, 1 hit, 4 free passes,
6 Ks; 121 pitches, 72 strikes)
by getting on via an error and,
an out hence, lefty Nate Schey
went the opposite way for the
only hit the Vikings (21-1) got.
However, a foul-out — with
junior catcher Austin Reindel
making a great play near the
backstop — and a line-out to
left by Devin Mangas ended
the game and pushed the Jays
onto the finals.
“We had to persevere today,
to find ways to win. We’re
used to being in these situa-
tions with our MAC schedule
and our non-league schedule,”
St. John’s coach Dan Metzger
said. “We’ve faced a lot of
good pitchers and Schroeder
was another one; he really
worked the inside on us and
never let us really extended
our arms. We just had to keep
working and things finally
worked for us.”
Mangas was left stranded
at third with two down in the
Jefferson junior catcher handles a throw from junior
centerfielder Mike Joseph and tags out Tyler Heitmeyer
in the fifth inning to prevent Kalida from going up a run.
However, Kalida finally scored in the bottom of the 11th to
finish a 4-3 victory.
lead it off and Chris Pohlman
was plunked. However, he
was forced at second by Troy
Warnecke and the next two
hitters went down swinging.
Brady Schroeder walked
with one down in the third
but was caught stealing by
Reindel.
The Jays again tried to get
on board in the fourth as Vogt
lined a 1-out hit to left but was
forced at second by Pohlman
and the next batter popped
out.
The Vikings mounted a
challenge in the fifth on a
2-out error (Corey Berger) and
a free pass (Mangas) but Geise
induced a groundout by Brady
Schroeder to end it.
Tyler Ditto singled to start
the host fifth but was picked
off base.
“Travis pitched a heck
of a game; their pitcher was
just better. He did a great
job handling a very good hit-
ting team,” Leipsic head man
Darren Henry noted. “We
just could never get anything
strung together; we really
never hit the ball hard, either.
We just had one bad inning
defensively but that was
enough to cost us.”
Derek Mangas worked a
base-on-balls with two down
in the sixth but Reindel cut
him down trying to burgle
second.
“Defensively, we only had
one really bad inning and over-
all, we did what we had to do.
Austin’s two throw-outs were
huge; those are momentum-
killers for the other team,”
Metzger added. “After the
second one, that is when we
scored both of our runs. Curtis
was outstanding. Leipsic is
a good-hitting team and they
never really hit him hard. He
did a great job keeping them

FFA offers Food for America program
The Food for America program and the Delphos
FFA Chapter gave more than 150 third-graders the
opportunity to experience first hand, the processes of
agriculture — all the way from production to retail
sales.
Third-graders from Franklin, Landeck and
St. John’s elementary schools had the opportu-
nity to accompany the Delphos FFA through seven
tours throughout the day. These tours included:
Hempfling’s Dairy Farm, Jim Miller Beef Farm,
Hoersten Hog Farm, Mox Nursery, Heidlebaugh
Sheep Farm, and Chief’s Supermarket. During
lunchtime at Stadium Park the students had the
opportunity to interact with our FFA students in cor-
relation to learning about farm safety, gun safety and
wildlife by FFA members and Gary Dilworth.

Seeing the cows is one of the many highlights when

Students also had the opportunity to see swine production at Hoersten’s Hog Farms as

and retail cuts of pork at Hoersten’s Hog Farms.
