Library Director Kelly Rist informed the board DigitalWorks will terminate its agreement with the library for the use of space to provide computer training and jobs to the unemployed. Rist said DigitalWorks lost a portion of its funding and the program will now be operated out of Allen, Putnam and Van Wert County Job and Family Services offices. The program did train and secure employment for seven individuals while at the library. A few good things did come from our relationship with DigitalWorks, Rist said. We got some people out of their comfort zones and we got exposure for the program. Im glad it will continue. Rist is also working with Delphos Area Art Guild President Shauna TurnerSmith on the upcoming Art Exhibition to be hosted by the library.

After a long hard winter, flower corms and bulbs are now finally feeling the warmth of the sun and pushing new foliage above the soil and mulch which blanketed them. This colorful display of Crocus tommasinianus also known as tommies, early crocus or woodland crocus began sporadically popping up a few weeks ago. It has since carpeted a small naturalized garden habitat. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

For The Record Parents should talk with students about prom plans OBITUARY The Delphos
Information submitted Youre going to remember your prom for the rest of your life. It can be a time of laughter, dancing, fun and celebration. But it can also be a dangerous time. Automobile crashes are the leading cause of death among teens and according to National Highway and Transport Safety Administration figures, approximately 33 percent of traffic deaths of 15- to 20-year-olds are alcohol-related. The use of alcohol is frequently linked with other risky and potentially destructive behaviors, such as physical and emotional violence, sexual mistakes or misjudgments, unintentional injuries such as drowning and falls and of course, alcohol overdose. It takes only one such incident to turn what should be an event that is remembered forever as a celebration into a tragedy. Prom should be celebrated as an alcohol- and substance-free event, which takes the combined effort of schools, parents, law-enforcement officials, other members of the local community and the students. Friends can help keep each other safe by pledging to make healthy decisions. Support your friends by speaking up when you see them making questionable choices, especially where drugs and alcohol are involved. Parents play a key role in creating a safe prom event. Listed below are tips and ideas for parents. Research shows that good communication between parents and teenagers can have a positive influence on risk-taking behavior by teens. Teens who report regular, open communication with their parents about important issues say they are more likely to try to live up to their parents expectations and less likely to drink and use drugs. Discuss rules for the prom: your own rules, the school rules and the consequences for violating the rules. Communicate with your student ahead of time about the agenda for the evening. Discuss the evenings curfew and what acceptable after-curfew possibilities there might be (an alcohol- and drug-free post-prom party, inviting friends back home to spend the night under your supervision, etc.) Recent studies show that the major source of alcohol for youth is friends and families. Some parents feel that hosting a house party where alcohol is served to minors is safer because they can control it. Allowing these parties is illegal, even with other parents consent, and the host parents may be held responsible for consequences that result. Remember, too, that excessive alcohol consumption brings more dangers than just impaired driving. Know who is driving. If your teen is riding in a limo, check the companys policy on allowing alcohol in the vehicle. Encourage seat belt use. Communicate with other parents about prom plans. Stay up for prom-goers return home.

Todays Highlight in History: On April 10, 1864, during the Civil War, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, an assistant surgeon for the 52nd Ohio Volunteers, was captured by the Confederates and accused of being a Union spy; she was held until her release in August 1864 as part of a prisoner exchange. (Walker received the Medal of Honor in 1865, the only woman to date so recognized; although the citation was withdrawn in 1917, Walker continued to wear the medal until her death in 1919. President Jimmy Carter restored the citation in 1977.) On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed the first United States Patent Act. In 1864, Maximilian, archduke of Austria, was proclaimed emperor of Mexico. In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated. In 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage. In 1925, the novel The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was first published. In 1932, German president Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second.

In 1963, the fast-attack nuclear submarine USS Thresher (SSN-593) sank during deep-diving tests east of Cape Cod, Mass., in a disaster that claimed 129 lives. In 1974, Golda Meir told party leaders she was resigning as prime minister of Israel. In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settle-
ment to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks. In 2010, Polish President Lech Kaczynski, 60, was killed in a plane crash in western Russia that also claimed the lives of his wife and top Polish political, military and church officials. Ten years ago: The White House declassified and released a document sent to President George W. Bush before the September 11 attacks which cited recent intelligence concerning a possible alQaida plot to strike inside the United States. Five years ago: Police in Tracy, Calif., arrested Sunday school teacher Melissa Huckaby in connection with the death of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, whose body had been found in a suitcase. (Huckaby eventually pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering her daughters playmate; she was sentenced to life without parole.) French Navy commandos stormed a sailboat held by pirates off the Somali coast, freeing four hostages; however, one hostage was killed in the operation. One year ago: President Barack Obama proposed a $3.8 trillion budget that would raise taxes on smokers and wealthy Americans and trim Social Security benefits for millions. The financially beleaguered U.S. Postal Service backpedaled on its plan to end Saturday mail delivery.

Residential broadband adoption in Ohio surpasses national average

Information submitted COLUMBUS Connect Ohio today released new data showing that broadband adoption in Ohio surpasses the national average, with 72 percent of households subscribing to broadband service in 2013, up from 66 percent in 2011. Broadband adoption in rural Appalachian Ohio increased to 63 percent in 2013, a 10 percentage point increase from 2012. According to the Pew Research Center, the national broadband adoption rate in 2013 was 70 percent, which marks a 4 percentage point increase since 2012. Connect Ohio is pleased to see that Ohio remains above the national average in broadband adoption; however, its concerning that the most vulnerable parts of our populations remain on the wrong side of the digital divide, said Stu Johnson, executive director of Connect Ohio. The primary barrier to broadband adoption perceived lack of relevance decreased 11 percentage points among non-adopters over the past two years, meaning that more people are seeing the need for technology to improve daily lives. Another positive note was the marked improvement of broadband adoption in Appalachian Ohio; network expansion and the efforts of the Connect Appalachia Broadband Initiative have helped to drive adoption in this region. The data are available via an interactive widget on the Connect Ohio website where viewers can compare adoption rates since 2010, track the growth in mobile adoption during that time, and examine barriers to adoption. Among other key findings of the 2013 residential survey are: More than 481,000 school-age children in Ohio still do not have broadband access at home. More than 2.7 million working-age adults in Ohio would need assistance with tasks that are often required by employers, such as creating a spreadsheet, going online from a mobile device, using a word processor or sending an e-mail. More than three out of four non-adopters in Ohio say that it would be easier for them to shop, seek out healthcare information or interact with government offices if they had Internet access at home. This survey is conducted in support of Connect Ohios efforts to close Ohios digital gap and explores the barriers to adoption, rates of broadband adoption among various demographics and the types of activities broadband subscribers conduct online, among other issues. Connect Ohios 2013 Residential Technology Assessment was conducted in late 2013 and includes responses from 3,615 residents. Connect Ohio conducted this residential survey as part of the State Broadband Initiative (SBI) grant program, funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The SBI grant program was created by the Broadband Data Improvement Act (BDIA), unanimously passed by Congress in 2008 and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 2009.

Lawmakers OK bill on allergy shots in schools

COLUMBUS (AP) A bill making it easier for schools, camps and coaches to stock general-use supplies of epinephrine shots used to counter allergic reactions is headed to the governor after clearing the Ohio Legislature. The House unanimously approved the measure Wednesday, after a unanimous vote by the state Senate on Tuesday. Republican Gov. John Kasich is expected to sign the measure. The legislation would not force schools and others to stock epinephrine injectors, but would allow the practice by removing barriers such as cost.
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio representatives from both political parties criticized Republican Gov. John Kasich on Wednesday for saddling them with a midterm budget bill heavily loaded with disparate proposals they called unsuited to a non-budget year. Rep. Terry Boose, a Norwalk Republican, said Kasichs practice of introducing voluminous off-year budgets in a state accustomed to a two-year cycle has effectively allowed him to take control of the states legislative branch. The 1,620-page document
House approves Kasichs Highway projects total $2.5B midterm budget bill
Kasich introduced earlier this year was the second of its kind since he took office in 2011, mirroring the annual federal budgets he oversaw as U.S. House finance chairman in the 1990s. The House split the legislation into 14 separate bills, nine of which came to the floor Wednesday. House Democrats were particularly upset over a last-minute amendment to the largest of the bills that changed campaign finance law. The bill lifts a disclosure requirement applied to independent political expenditures and relaxes politicalgiving restrictions on state contractors. Rep. Dan Ramos, a Lorain Democrat, said the Kasich midterm budget bills are packed with such Christmas tree-like ornaments. He called the bill a moral document that strays far from the purpose of a traditional budget correction bill. We dont have to have a second budget, ladies and gentlemen, Ramos said. Were not working with a governor; were working for a governor.
TOLEDO (AP) Get ready for plenty of orange barrels across Ohio. The Ohio Department of Transportations construction season this year will include more than 900 construction projects totaling $2.5 billion. Gov. John Kasich says that the projects will bring jobs to Ohio. He made the comments during a news conference Wednesday to formally kick off the construction season. Many of the projects are on tap because of Kasichs decision to raise about $1.5 billion for state highway projects through Ohio Turnpike bonds.

Dear EarthTalk: Whats going on with Earth Day this year and how can I get involved? Christine B., Boston, MA This coming April 22 will mark the 44th annual celebration of Earth Day, and the focus this year will be green cities. As the worlds population migrates to cities, and as the bleak reality of climate change becomes increasingly clear, the need to create sustainable communities is more important than ever, reports Earth Day Network, the Seattle-based non-profit that helps coordinate Earth Day celebrations and serves as a clearinghouse for related information and resources. The group hopes to galvanize the support of more than a billion people across 192 countries this Earth Day for increasing the sustainability and reducing the carbon footprints of urban areas everywhere. By focusing on buildings, energy and transportation issues in cities this year, Earth Day Network hopes to raise awareness about the importance of making improvements in efficiency, investments in renewable technology and regulation reform in the urban areas where half the worlds population lives today. By 2050, three quarters of us will live in cities, making it more important than ever to adapt and adopt policies that take into account how to support larger numbers of people with less environmental impact. Earth Day Network has already mobilized a network of partners on the ground in strategically placed cities and towns around the world to organize grassroots efforts to improve local codes, ordinances and policies that will help cities become models for sustainability, but participation of the wider public is crucial to making the Green Cities campaign a success. The Green Cities section of Earth Day Networks website features a series of in-depth tool kits designed to educate the public about key elements of the campaign and serves as the locus of organizing around Earth Day 2014. By making such resources freely available, Earth Day Network hopes to spur individuals to take civic action by signing petitions, sending letters to policymakers and organizing more events. Some of the ways to get involved and raise awareness in your local community about Earth Day itself and the need to green our cities include: hosting a talk for co-workers or community members on the topic of local sustainability initiatives; starting a farmers market; organizing a day of tree planting, park or beach clean-up, or an eco-fair; and leading a recycling drive to collect as much metal, plastic and glass as possible. Schools can register with Earth Day Network and get access to many student-friendly resources, including an interactive Ecological Footprint Quiz and environmentally-themed lesson

Friends of Ohio Barns to hold 15th annual Ohio Barn Conference

Information submitted MT. VERNON Come join barn enthusiasts, barn owners and maybe even a few barn huggers at Ohios only annual barn tour and conference to be held in the heart of Ohio, Knox County. The conference will be in Mt. Vernon from April 24-26. Please join Friends of Ohio Barns for another barn adventure starting Thursday with a pre-conference workshop at The Barn in Mt. Vernon for a discussion on repurposing an old historic barn into an event space. Friday is an all-day barn tour, including lunch, visiting several century barns and the Knox County Agricultural Museum. Friday kicks off the Full Conference package with a daylong bus tour through Knox County to see and explore many wonderful historic barns. One stop will be a barn conversion completed by one of our Saturday speakers, Doug Morgan. Several of the barns have examples of swing beams and one barn we have on the tour specifically to see if we can stump the Barn Detectives. German influence can be seen in many of the barns and we will visit the only Sweitzer barn in the county. There is always so much to learn from the Barn Detectives and other knowledgeable members about barn structures and the unique aspects of the barns chosen for this tour. Lunch will be prepared by SIPs Catering and will be served at the Mt. Vernon Developmental Center. Saturdays barn conference will feature local historians, guest speakers, demonstrations and a good dose of barn lore. We are very fortunate to have Jeff Marshall, president of the Heritage Conservancy in Pennsylvania, as our keynote speaker this year. Marshall has extensive knowledge in architecture and historic preservation as well as knowledge about historic barns. Morgan, president of the Mt. Vernon Barn Company, will speak about his passion of saving old barns and re-purposing them when possible; he has a lofty goal in his Odyssey. Dan Troth will give a presentation on his latest adventure, Saving the Cellar Barn and House, and Laura Saeger and Rudy Christian will tell about their recent experience in re-purposing a barn in Ann Arbor. Tom OGrady will speak to the history of the area and the Barn Detectives will follow up with their findings from Fridays tour with a slide show and antics. The 2014 Barn of the Year Awards will be presented during the lunch break and we will also hold our annual meeting.

AGRIBUSINESS
Different factors determine best cover crop

JAMES HOORMAN Putnam County Extension Ag Educator While most farmers have purchased their corn and soybeans, they may not have purchased cover crop seed grown after wheat harvest. Now is the time to start making decisions on buying seed because cover crop seed supplies are in short supply. The most common question I get on cover crops is: What is the best cover crop? It depends on what you want to accomplish. My favorite cover crop after wheat is Sorghum Sudan (SS) grass. Why? Because SS grass reduces soil compaction and improves soil structure; it adds carbon or soil organic matter (SOM); and it is a supplemental forage crop for beef, dairy and sheep. Livestock eat it like candy! On our heavy clay soils (Paulding, Toledo, Hoytville) in Putnam County, SS grass has the ability to increase water infiltration, reduce water runoff and decrease ponding water. In the last 50 to 100 years, we have lost almost 60 percent of our soil organic matter. By growing another crop, farmers can greatly increase their SOM levels. After wheat harvest is a great time to grow another crop, improve your soil, feed your livestock and feed your soil microbes. So why not grow soybeans? There are several potential problems with growing double crop soybeans. One is the lack of diversification and the potential for increased soybean diseases and insects. Second, yields tend to much lower and soybeans are not cheap to plant. Third, you may make money on average for two years, lose money for two and break even about one year out of every five years you double crop soybeans. It is a real gamble to try to make double crop soybean pay consistently. Sorghum Sudan grass is a summer annual and dies with the first frost. Sorghum Sudan germinates at 65 degrees Fahrenheit, should be planted or drilled at least 1-1.5 inches deep and requires about 30 to 35 pounds of seed per acre. It also requires about 90-100 pounds of actual nitrogen from fertilizer, manure or growing a legume with the SS grass. Cowpeas or another legume like winter peas can be planted to help supply nitrogen. Sorghum Sudan is heat and drought tolerant but does not grow well in saturated soils and does not tolerate freezing. It grows well with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0 and can reach a height of 8 feet, yielding 4-11 tons of forage depending on the number of cuttings. To maximum SS grass benefits, let it grow to a height of 2-3 feet. Then harvest the tops for feed (leaving 6 inch stubble for fast regrowth) or mow it and leave the stubble to build SOM. When SS grass is mowed or harvested, the roots tiller and produces five to nine times more roots, which greatly increases the SOM. The regrowth will have a higher relative feed value (RFV) and it will be high in sugar. Sorghum Sudan greatly improves soil quality by increasing the carbon content of the soil. What you see above ground is roughly what is produced under ground. Short-term, farmers can add about a half percentage of SOM just by growing SS grass for one year. The real benefit comes from the change in soil structure. Farmers who plant SS
of Agricultures Natural Resources Conservation Service, properly managing and applying manure to the land, routine manure and soil sampling, using minimum tillage to protect the soil, constructing retention and detention ponds to capture runoff water and irrigate water out in the summer months, and installing grass waterways and filter strips to reduce erosion and further protect the environment. Turkey on the Menu Award: City Barbeque OPA recognized City Barbeque for the organizations recent achievement of winning the National Turkey Federations Turkey on the Menu Award. City Barbeque was one of four restaurants across the United States to receive the award, which recognizes food service providers for their innovative techniques in showcasing a variety of Ohio turkey offerings on their menu. City Barbeque offers a variety of turkey menu options, including Bowman & Landes premium, free-range, prepared fresh, never frozen turkey served hot off the smoker. In addition, they serve Cooper Farms local, sweet butter basted turkey breast smoked over hickory wood for hours before being sliced to order right to the plate. Both Bowman & Landes and Cooper Farms are headquartered in Ohio. Ohios egg, chicken and turkey farms are significant contributors to the success of the states economy. Ohio ranks number-two in the nation in egg production and produces more than 7.6 billion eggs per year with a retail value of more than $523 million. Ohio is also ninth in the nation for turkey production and produces more than 379 million pounds of Ohio chicken annually. Ohios egg, chicken and turkey farms create more than 14,600 jobs generating $412 million in earnings to the states economy. For more information, visit the OPA website at www.ohiopoultry.org.
US bacon prices rise after virus kills baby pigs
MILWAUKEE (AP) A virus never before seen in the U.S. has killed millions of baby pigs in less than a year, and with little known about how it spreads or how to stop it, its threatening pork production and pushing up prices by 10 percent or more. Scientists think porcine epidemic diarrhea, which does not infect humans or other animals, came from China, but they dont know how it got into the country or spread to 27 states since last May. The federal government is looking into how such viruses might spread, while the pork industry, wary of future outbreaks, has committed $1.7 million to research the disease. The U.S. is both a top producer and exporter of pork, but production could decline about 7 percent this year compared to last the biggest drop in more than 30 years, according to a recent report from Rabobank, which focuses on the food, beverage and agribusiness industries. Already, prices have shot up: A pound of bacon averaged $5.46 in February, 13 percent more than a year ago, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Ham and chops have gone up too, although not as much. Farmer and longtime veterinarian Craig Rowles did all he could to prevent PED from spreading to his farm in Iowa, the nations top pork producer and the state hardest hit by the disease. He trained workers to spot symptoms, had them shower and change clothing before entering barns and limited deliveries and visitors. Despite his best efforts, the deadly diarrhea attacked in November, killing 13,000 animals in a matter of weeks, most of them less than 2 weeks old. The farm produces about 150,000 pigs each year.

grass often remark how mellow the soil becomes and how well the field drains the next year. Sorghum Sudan grass has a fibrous root system that breaks up hard pans in clay soils, adding the sugars and the carbon to promote good soil structure. So farmers can make money feeding the above ground portion to their livestock while feeding the other livestock, they tend to forget about the soil microbes. Soil microbes are like soluble bags of fertilizer, recycling and storing soil nutrient for future crops. The following year, the best crop to grow is no-till soybeans, due to the high carbon content of SS grass. Do not be tempted to chisel or plow the residue! Plowing or chiseling just adds oxygen to the soil, causing the soil microbes to break down the carbon and releases it as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. On a heavy clay soil, the SS grass increased one farmers yield from 25-30 to 49-55 bushel soybeans. If you have wheat in your crop rotation, it is a shame not to plant something that can improve your soil and make you money.

Thunderbirds goose-egg Blue Jays Miller City patiently

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS For the second time in eight days, the St. Johns varsity baseball team took the field against a 2014 state high school basketball champion. Last week, the Blue Jays were shut out 12-0 by Division IV champion Crestview in five innings. Wednesday evening at Stadium Park, St. Johns played host to Lima Central Catholic with four players from the Division III champion squad and were shut out 10-0. The first three innings of the battle on the diamond was a pitching duel between St. Johns junior Gage Seffernick and Jamaal Hairston for the Thunderbirds as both pitchers had goose eggs on the scoreboard. Seffernick walked the first two batters he faced to open the fourth inning. A perfect sacrifice bunt by Drew Jennings put runners at second and third with only one out. Liam Stolly knocked in the first run of the contest with a single to center, scoring Jake Williams. On the play, Luke Baumgartner tried to score from second base but was gunned down at the plate on a strong throw from Ben Wrasman to Buddy Jackson for the final out of the inning. The Thunderbirds scored four runs to open the fifth inning and sent Seffernick to the dugout. T.J. Hoersten faced runners on the corners with only one out as he came out of the bullpen for Coach Ryan Warnecke. Hoersten escaped the jam, allowing only one run and leaving the bases loaded. Lima Central Catholic extended the lead to 7-0 in the sixth inning with a perfectly-executed hit-and-run by Williams to score Collin Stolly from second base. Josh Warnecke became the third By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

batters Lady Jeffcats

MILLER CITY Jeffersons fast-pitch softball team is going through typical growing pains with a brand-new pitching staff and a lineup featuring mainly freshmen and sophomores that is in need of playing time. Wednesday night was a perfect example. Miller City only had seven hits but took advantage of nine bases-on-balls, two hit batters, two errors and five wild pitches to put forth a 13-2 5-inning victory at L. Harry Leopold/Raymond Schmenk Athletic Complex in Miller City. Were going through growing pains. We have a lot of young girls getKill ting their first varsity playing time and its a process, Jefferson coach Josiah Stober said. Just like with Claire on the mound. She didnt play last year due to injury and got no time on the mound; she had no chance to learn. It takes a while to get into a groove on the mound and find that comfort zone. The game was moved from Jefferson High School due to the wet grounds. Jefferson went down 1-2-3 in the top of the first against Miller City senior Liz Schimmoeller (1-1; 4 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 2 walks, 3 Ks). Miller City (1-2) put up a 3 spot against sophomore Claire Thompson (0-3; 4 IPs, 7 hits, 13 runs, 10 earned, 9 BBs, 5 strikeouts, 2 hit batters) in the first frame on four stolen bases, four hits including a double by Alissa Schnipke and RBI singles by Schimmoeller and Janke VanWezel and a sac fly by Jess Vennekotter. The Red and White Wildcats (0-5) threatened in the second on a leadoff walk to Thompson, a single to left center by Danielle Harmon (2-for-3) and a sacrifice bunt by Kiersten Teman. However, both runners remained stranded. The host Wildcats made it 6-0 in the second frame on three walks, one hit a run-scoring base knock by Cassilyn Sensibaugh Niese three steals and a pair of wild pitches. Jefferson got a run back in the top of the third. With one down, Hannah Sensibaugh was hit by a pitch and stole second. Samantha Branham walked. Shayla Rice hit a grounder and a late cover allowed Sensibaugh to beat the throw to third. Thompson hit a grounder off the pitchers glove and second baseman Kylee Ricker hesitated, allowing everyone to be safe and Sensibaugh to score. However, Harmon forced Branham at home and Teman was retired to leave it 6-1. See JEFFCATS, page 7
St. John's freshman catcher Buddy Jackson takes a throw in an attempt to nab an LCC runner at home Wednesday night at Stadium Park. (Delphos Herald/Randy Shellenbarger) Blue Jay pitcher of the game and retired all three batters he faced in the inning with a pair of strikeouts and a pop out. Another very familiar last name in the L.C.C. tradition, Ethan OConnor, came in to pitch the final two innings for the Thunderbirds. OConnor struck out four Blue Jays and only allowed one hit by Eric Vogt to earn the save. Thunderbird head coach John Schnieders said he is feeling better about his team after an 0-3 start. Im not making any excuses but with the late start with basketball, the weather and some nagging injuries, we just werent playing well. We finally got our whole team together for the first time on opening day and we started coming together. We are playing with confidence and energy combined with great defense to win three games in a row. The Thunderbirds stranded a dozen base-runners but could have had many more as the Blue Jays turned a pair of double plays during the contest. St. Johns collected only four hits on the evening and had a total of six runners left on base. After the Jays dropped to 0-4 for the season, Coach Warnecke explained we are getting closer. The final score doesnt reflect it but we played a good game tonight. We just need to put together a full seven innings and combine it with our good pitching and well turn it around. The Blue Jays get a chance to get their first victory of the season as they travel to Shawnee tonight for a makeup game that was rained out on Monday.

2010 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He needs a motorized wheelchair to get around. He wants to get out of that chair and walk again with his own two legs. He already weaned himself off a ventilator. There are many friends Team Bigelow that are trying to help him do this, raising funds for his intense physical therapy at the Walk the Line to SCI (spinal cord injury) Recovery in Detroit that he must pay for himself. I wish this man well. I look forward to reading news stories about this modern miracle when he as that song from the Christmas cartoon Santa Claus Is Coming to Town tells us puts one foot in front of the other. That is truly be a worthy dream. The pressure of playing at Augusta National is enormous for a professional golfer. Imagine what it might be for a normal, everyday 11-year-old. It seems that on Sunday before The Masters this year, they had the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt contest for youngsters. See MUSINGS, page 7

Team Penske can look toward Chase after Logano win

By JENNA FRYER Associated Press As he chased Joey Logano around Texas Motor Speedway, more than a few people wondered if Brad Keselowski was letting off the gas just a little bit to help his teammate to a win. A flurry of late activity cleared Keselowski of any potential wrongdoing. As Logano closed in on the white flag that would have wrapped up the win, a late caution sent the field to pit road. Keselowski was penalized for speeding he was 0.8 mph over in one of the zones on pit road and it proved he was doing everything in his power to win Mondays race. I definitely wasnt (laying back), Keselowski said. I was 105 percent, so thats why got I a speeding penalty. I broke the rule the other way. NASCAR last September demanded drivers give 100 percent at all times in a mandate to prevent them from aiding teammates. The penalty Keselowski had to serve contributed to his 15th-place finish, and Logano went on to win his first race of the season. Were in it for wins. Were not in it for finishing second. Second or 15th is the same to us, Keselowski said. I sped and ended up 15th. It had to be really close. If it would have worked out, I might have been able to win the race from it. Its just part of racing. Now no one can accuse Team Penske of playing unfairly and both drivers have a clear conscious as they prepare for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Keselowski got his win at Las Vegas in March and under NASCARs new winand-youre-in format, Team Penske should be assured of two spots in the 16-driver Chase field. Its absolutely huge, Keselowski said. We havent burned any of our team tests, and now that weve got both cars in the Chase, we can just burn through those on the Chase tracks. Thats a pretty healthy advantage. Penske management had been plotting testing strategy prior to Mondays race, and wondered if the organization needed to go somewhere where Logano runs well in order to give him a strong chance at a victory. Now that hes got a win, they can test only at tracks that are in the 10-race Chase. Now that were in the Chase we can use these tests a little differently than what we were thinking, Logano added. NO VIP: Chase Elliott became the second youngest winner in Nationwide Series history at Texas Motor Speedway, then had to return home to Georgia to go back to school. There was no special treatment for Elliott, who is wrapping up his senior year of high school at Kings Ridge Christian School in Atlanta. It was a typical Monday morning, Elliott said. Nobody likes Mondays, whether youre in school or having to go to work. Ellliott, who won Friday night in his sixth career start, is roughly four months older than Joey Logano was when he won his first career Nationwide race in 2008 at 18 years and 21 days. The victory officially announced the arrival of the son of 1988 Cup champion Bill Elliott, who won the Most Popular Driver award a record 16 times before he removed his name from the ballot. As Chase Elliott celebrated the win, 6-time champion Jimmie Johnson visited him in Victory Lane. Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick stopped by his car to offer congratulations, and Jeff Gordon, Brad Keselowski, Kasey Kahne and Denny Hamlin tweeted to him. Those guys just taking a couple seconds to shake my hand along the way, that was one of the coolest things Ive ever experienced ever, Elliott added. That was just really, really cool to have those guys, their support. ANDRETTI ADDITION: Roger Griffiths, who recently left his position as technical director for Honda Performance Development, has joined Andretti Autosport as the new director of motorsport development. Griffiths will work with all areas of Andretti racing competition, including the IndyCar Series, its ladder system, Formula E and Rallycross. Griffiths has worked in many different series, including Formula 1, IndyCar, American Le Mans Series, European Le Mans Series and Super Touring Cars. BASS PRO: Bass Pro Shops will help commemorate the return of the No. 3 to the Sprint Cup Series by sponsoring Austin Dillon at Talladega and Daytona this season. The nations No. 1 outdoor retail leader first began its association with Richard Childress Racing and the No. 3 Cup car in 1998 as an associate sponsor of the GM Goodwrench Chevrolet immortalized by 7-time champion Dale Earnhardt. Bass Pro first partnered with Dillon in 2010 in the Truck Series and was his sponsor when he won the championship the next season. The company was with Dillon in the Nationwide Series, and will now sponsor the two races in Sprint Cup with the No. 3. Bass Pro currently sponsors Ty Dillon in the Nationwide Series.
Ryan Moore wins Masters Par 3 tournament

Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. With friends and family members in tow, Ryan Moore made memories at the Masters on Wednesday. Moore shot a 6-under 21 to win the Par 3 tournament at Augusta National, calling it a perfect practice day. No one should consider it the perfect prelude to golfs first major, though. Since the Par 3 contest began in 1960, no winner has gone on to don the green jacket later in the week. Raymond Floyd (1990) and Chip Beck (1993) won the mid-week tournament and finished second on Sunday. But since no one has swept both events, making the Par 3 more of a curse than a forecast for the Masters. Im not afraid of it, Moore said. You never know. Someone has got to break that curse at some point in time, so hopefully its me, if I end up winning. Who knows? I might go shoot 8 under or something, make a couple hole-in-ones. Well see. Moore made a relatively short putt on the ninth hole to get to 6 under. He finished one shot behind the Par 3 record held by Art Wall (1965) and Gay Brewer (1973). Moore played the round with his 18-month-old son, Tucker, who got more attention as he pounded his plastic driver all around the course. It was fun having my boy out there and playing a round, you know, playing with a couple of friends, Moore added. Thats what its for, to kind of make you relax a little bit and just go and enjoy yourself the afternoon before. Kevin Stadler and Fuzzy Zoeller finished tied for second at 4-under 23. Bernhard Langer, Joost Luiten and Victor Dubuisson were another stroke back. NO CHANGES: The Masters is the only major that doesnt have a rules official assigned to every group on the golf course. And it will stay that way. One of the suggestions that emerged from the Tiger Woods ruling last year was that it might have been avoided if a rules official had been on the scene. Woods hit a wedge to the 15th green that hit the flagstick and caromed into the water. He said he purposely took his penalty drop a few yards back to avoid hitting the pin again. That was a violation the rule requires the drop to be as near as possible to the previous spot and it led to a 2-shot penalty. Woods was assessed the penalty shots after he signed his card, but he was not disqualified under Rule McDowell and Darren Clarke have this 33-7 because the rules committee felt it going for them: The four majors that erred in not talking to him before Woods Woods has missed because of injury were won by Irishmen Padraig Harrington signed the card. (2008 British Open, 2008 PGA Augusta National, like Championship), McIlroy (2011 the other majors, brings in U.S. Open) and Clarke (2011 rules officials from tours and British Open). There were golf organizations around the three hole-in-ones in the Par world. 3 event.

Miller City made it 9-1 in the bottom of the third with the aid of three free passes, a hit batter three steals and a pair of throwing errors. The only RBI came on a fielders choice by Niese. The hosts closed it out with four in the fourth on a pair of hits including a 2-run double to short left center by Niese three free passes, a hit batter and two wild pitches. Jefferson got on run in the top of the fifth against Ricker. With two down, Rice hit a liner just beyond the grasp of shortstop Alissa Schnipke. A wild pitch moved Rice to second and she scored after Thompson walked on a double down the left-field line by Harmon for a 13-2 score. However, Teman bounced out to end the game. One of the other lessons we have to learn is to be focused and mentally ready at the outset of every game, Stober added. I dont think we were today; I dont think we were focused on playing a softball game today. With so many youngsters, you will have those days but if you learn from them, it can still be a positive. For us, we simply need to get not only games in but practice time. We saw some things today we need to work on but with the weather this spring and our field still so wet, we dont have the chance to practice outside; you can only do so much in the gym. Jefferson visits LCC (Faurot Park 2) today. Liz is in the second year as a starting pitcher and fourth year of varsity; shes a great leader and even better person, Miller City coach Jim Leis said. We try to instill an aggressive yet disciplined attitude at the plate; we want to be aggressive on balls in the strike zone and yet not chase ones outside the zone. We have things we need to work on but like many teams, this was
only the second time weve played on this diamond; we need practice and game time. Miller City is at O-G Monday.

Teen stabs 22 at Pittsburgh-area high school Most wild kittens taken

KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press MURRYSVILLE, Pa. Flailing away with two kitchen knives, a 16-yearold boy with a blank expression stabbed and slashed 21 students and a security guard in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him. At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy whose liver was pierced by a knife thrust that narrowly missed his heart and aorta, doctors said. Others also suffered deep abdominal puncture wounds. The rampage which came after decades in which U.S. schools geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims. Police shed little light on the motive. The suspect, Alex Hribal, was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound, then was brought into court in shackles and a hospital gown and charged with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. He was jailed without bail, and authorities said he would be prosecuted as an adult. At the brief hearing, District Attorney John Peck said that after he was seized, Hribal made comments suggesting he wanted to die. Defense attorney Patrick Thomassey described him as a good student who got along with others, and asked for a psychiatric examination. The attack unfolded in the morning just minutes before the start of classes at 1,200-student Franklin Regional High School, in an upper-middle-class area 15 miles east of Pittsburgh. It was over in about five minutes, during which the boy ran wildly down about 200 feet of hallway, slashing away with knives 8 to 10 inches long, police said. Nate Moore, 15, said he saw the boy tackle and knife a freshman. He said he was going to try to break it up when the boy got up and slashed Moores face, opening a wound that required 11 stitches. It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurted up on my forehead, Moore said. The attacker had the same expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part, he said. He wasnt saying anything. He didnt have any anger on his face. It was just a blank expression. Assistant Principal Sam King finally tackled the boy and disarmed him, and a Murrysville police officer who is regularly assigned to the school handcuffed him, police said. Kings son told The Associated Press that his father was treated at a hospital, though authorities said he was not knifed. He says hes OK. Hes a tough cookie and sometimes hides things, but I believe hes OK, Zack King said. He added: Im proud of him. In addition to the 22 stabbed or slashed, two people suffered other injuries, authorities said. The security guard, who was wounded after intervening early in the melee, was not seriously hurt. There are a number of heroes in this day. Many of them are students, Gov. Tom Corbett said during a visit to the stricken town. Students who stayed with their friends and didnt leave their friends. As for what set off the attack, Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said investigators were looking into reports of a threatening phone call between the suspect and another student the night before. Seefeld didnt specify whether the suspect received or made the call. The FBI went to the boys house, where authorities planned to confiscate and search his computer.
to shelters will be killed

LOS ANGELES (AP) Wild kittens that will number in the tens of millions this year are starting to be born, and overtaxed shelters will be forced to euthanize most of the millions they receive. It is a grim reality a leading advocate calls one of the last major problems plaguing the animal welfare movement. Scads of good-intentioned people who discover wild litters of baby cats will take them to shelters, which are overrun with the animals. The facilities turn to euthanasia when their limited resources are stretched even thinner by the massive influx of kittens and the babies required round-the-clock care. But groups that trap, neuter and release feral cats and shelters that are able to open 24-hour kitten nurseries are doing their part to stem the deaths. The problem of community cats dying in shelters is one of the last major problems we in the animal welfare movement are tackling, said Gregory Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society, a leader in the no-kill movement that runs the largest animal sanctuary in the country. He says theres a ways to go but has seen a dramatic drop in deaths whenever his group connects a shelter with a local organization that traps, neuters and releases free-roaming cats. Wild kittens socialized early enough can be great pets, his group says. A staggering 40 million feral kittens will be born throughout the country this year, but 20 million of them will die at birth, said Becky Robinson, president of Bethesda, Md.-based Alley Cat Allies, which promotes trap, neuter and release and is the countrys only cat advocacy group. Of those who survive, millions will be taken to shelters, where the majority will be euthanized. The explosive reproduction isnt tied to domestic cats because studies show 80 percent are sterilized, she said. Kittens, which cant see, hear or do much else on their own for the first week, are difficult to care for because they need to be bottle-fed every two hours, are susceptible to disease until they can be vaccinated and need a place to stay until theyre old enough to be spayed or neutered and put up for adoption. Thats why some shelters have opened volunteer- and donation-run nurseries. Thousands of feral kittens are saved at 24-hour facilities in California, Indiana, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois and other states. But the trend, started just a few years ago, needs time to expand to make a dent. Nurseries need to work with neuter-and-release groups, animal control workers and shelters with aggressive adoption programs to reverse the massive numbers of feral cats, said Robinson and Janice Dankert, community cat program supervisor at Best Friends headquarters in Kanab, Utah. Its rare that a wild adult cat can be socialized enough to be adopted, but feral kittens trained before 3 months old make great pets, Dankert said.

Scientists try 3-D printer to build human heart

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) It may sound far-fetched, but scientists are attempting to build a human heart with a 3-D printer. Ultimately, the goal is to create a new heart for a patient with their own cells that could be transplanted. It is an ambitious project to first, make a heart and then get it to work in a patient, and it could be years perhaps decades before a 3-D printed heart would ever be put in a person. The technology, though, is not all that futuristic: Researchers have already used 3-D printers to make splints, valves and even a human ear. So far, the University of Louisville team has printed human heart valves and small veins with cells, and they can construct some other parts with other methods, said Stuart Williams, a cell biologist leading the project. They have also successfully tested the tiny blood vessels in mice and other small animals, he said. Williams believes they can print parts and assemble an entire heart in three to five years. The finished product would be called the bioficial heart a blend of natural and artificial. The biggest challenge is to get the cells to work together as they do in a normal heart, said Williams, who heads the project at the Cardiovascular Innovation Institute, a partnership between the university and Jewish Hospital in Louisville. An organ built from a patients cells could solve the rejection problem some patients have with donor organs or an artificial heart, and it could eliminate the need for anti-rejection drugs, Williams said. If everything goes according to plan, Williams said the heart might be tested in humans in less than a decade. The first patients would most likely be those with failing hearts who are not candidates for artificial hearts, including children whose chests are too small to for an artificial heart. Hospitals in Louisville have a history of artificial heart achievements. The second successful U.S. surgery of an artificial heart, the Jarvik 7, was implanted in Louisville in the mid-1980s. Doctors from the University of Louisville implanted the first self-contained artificial heart, the AbioCor, in 2001. That patient, Robert L. Tools, lived for 151 days with the titanium and plastic pump. Williams said the heart he envisions would be built from cells taken from the patients fat. But plenty of difficulties remain, including understanding how to keep manufactured tissue alive after it is printed. With complex organs such as the kidney and heart, a major challenge is being able to provide the structure with enough oxygen to survive until it can integrate with the body, said Dr. Anthony Atala, whose team at Wake Forest University is using 3-D printers to attempt to make a human kidney. The 3-D printing approach is not the only strategy researchers are investigating to build a heart out of a patients own cells. Elsewhere, scientists are exploring the idea of putting the cells into a mold. In experiments, scientists have made rodent hearts that beat in the laboratory. Some simple body parts made using this method have already been implanted in people, including bladders and windpipes.

The goal of National Crime Victims Rights Week is to support crime victims and raise awareness of victim issues across the country. National Crime Victims Rights Week began April 6 and runs through Saturday. The Attorney Generals Crime Victim Services Section provides compensation to eligible crime victims and their families through the Ohio Victims of Crime Compensation Fund. Since its creation in 1976, the fund, which can pay for medical expenses, lost wages, funeral costs and similar expenditures, has paid out more than $341 million, including $8.8 million in 2013.
1 child dead, 14 hurt in Florida day care crash

SUZETTE LABOY Associated Press WINTER PARK, Fla. A car smashed into an Orlandoarea day care Wednesday, killing a girl and injuring 14 others, at least a dozen of them children, and authorities were searching for the driver of an SUV who they say started the crash, officials said. A Toyota Solara convertible went out of control after it was struck by a Dodge Durango, jumped a curb and smashed into the day care, breaking through the wall and into the building, said Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Wanda Diaz. The convertible driver was not hurt. The Durango left the scene but was located almost two hours later after it had been abandoned at a home. The highway patrol said it is looking for 26-yearold Robert Corchado, who has been arrested eight times since 2000, according to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records. Troopers said he was the driver of the Durango, but wouldnt say how they established that. Troopers said Corchado may be trying to leave the area, and troopers and deputies headed to Orlando International Airport to look for him. Diaz said a girl died at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, but she didnt have any more information on her. One person at the hospital was in critical condition and five others were in serious condition, said spokeswoman Katie Dagenais. In all, 13 people were hospitalized and two others were treated at the scene, said John Mulhall, a spokesman for the Orange County Fire Rescue. Several of the injured at the KinderCare building in Winter Park were reported to be in very, very serious condition, Diaz said. A man answered the phone for a number listed to Corchado and hung up when he was asked, May I speak to Robert Corchado. Please keep a lookout and let us know if you see anything, said Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said. Corchados most recent arrest was on a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving damage, a felony charge of selling narcotics and felony marijuana possession last December. He was out on more than $10,000 bond and had pleaded not guilty to the charges. His defense attorney in that case, Jack Kaleita, didnt return a phone call or email after business hours. Department of Corrections records show he has served prison time for trafficking cocaine and extortion. Jacobs called the crash an absolute tragedy and disaster. Local television footage showed small children and infants in cribs taken outside on the day cares playground and several of the injured were carried out on stretchers. The highway patrol reported that the injured were taken to five different hospitals.
The exhibit will be held from April 23 through May 21. A reception will be held on May 2. The librarys new Teen Area is open. Youth grades 6-12 are invited to enjoy the room from 3-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Page Becky Hirn is in charge. Library employees are gearing up for National Library Week and are celebrating Monday through April 17. Special programming, fine forgiveness and giveaways are included in the event. The Green Thumb Garden Club has offered to provide small appliances or landscaping for the First Edition Building in appreciation for the use of the facility for its monthly meetings. The board agreed to accept assistance for landscaping around the building and will try to provide the appliances for the building for everyones use. The board also agreed to allow a quilt to be displayed at the library that will be raffled by Delphos Jefferson Alumni. The library will not have tickets for the raffle. Board President Leila Osting gave fellow trustees information on a new community-based website myownlima.com. She told trustees the website can be used to get information out and includes an overall calendar for events. You can set up your own website within the website, Osting explained. Theres no cost and its another way we can bring what we have to offer to more people. Mays meeting has been changed from May 14 to May 7. Meetings begin at 4 p.m. in the First Edition Building.
Most Americans say filing taxes easy

STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press WASHINGTON Struggling to figure out your federal tax return? Youre not alone, but youre in the minority. With the tax filing deadline looming next week, a majority of Americans say completing a federal tax return is easy, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. The findings defy conventional wisdom in Washington, where politicians have made careers out of promising a simpler tax system. In another blow to advocates of tax reform, almost no one is willing to pay higher taxes in exchange for a simpler code. If youve got the equivalent of a high school degree and you know how to do math, its very simple, said Sara Thornton, a small business owner from East Granby, Conn. Only 7 percent of those surveyed say they would be willing to pay more in federal taxes if the process of filling out a tax return were easier. Some 90 percent say no, thanks. No, because I dont know that it is that difficult, said Alicia Brown of suburban Des Moines, Iowa. We already pay outlandish taxes because we live in Iowa. We have very high real estate taxes. The tax-writing committees in Congress have spent the past several years trying to build momentum for the herculean task of simplifying the tax code. One reason its so difficult is there are bound to be winners and losers. Sweeping changes to precious tax breaks will undoubtedly leave some people paying more, while others pay less. One selling point for tax reform has been a simpler tax form. Ever hear a politician say you should be able to fill out your taxes on the back of a postcard? Youll probably hear it again during this falls elections. The National Taxpayer Advocate says filers spend a total of 6.1 billion hours a year preparing tax returns, at a cost of $168 billion. According to the IRS, 90 percent of filers either pay a tax preparer or use computer software to help them fill out their returns. But 58 percent in the AP-GfK poll say completing a federal tax return is easy. Thirty-eight percent call it hard.
Heartbleed bug causes major security headache

MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writers SAN FRANCISCO A confounding computer bug called Heartbleed is causing major security headaches across the Internet as websites scramble to fix the problem and Web surfers wonder whether they should change their passwords to prevent theft of their email accounts, credit card numbers and other sensitive information. The breakdown revealed this week affects a widely used encryption technology that is supposed to protect online accounts for a variety of online communications and electronic commerce. Security researchers who uncovered the threat are particularly worried about the lapse because it went undetected for more than two years. They fear the possibility that computer hackers may have been secretly exploiting the problem before its discovery. Its also possible that no one took advantage of the flaw before its existence was announced late Monday. Although there is now a way to close the security hole, there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned, said David Chartier, CEO of Codenomicon. A small team from the Finnish security firm diagnosed Heartbleed while working independently from another Google Inc. researcher who also discovered the threat. I dont think anyone that had been using this technology is in a position to definitively say they werent compromised, Chartier said. Canadas tax agency isnt taking any chances.

Revenue Agency shut off public access to its website to safeguard the integrity of the information we hold, according to a notice posted on its website Wednesday. The agency said it hopes to re-open its website this weekend. The lockdown comes just three weeks from Canadas April 30 deadline for filing 2013 tax returns. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service said in a statement Wednesday that its not affected by the security hole. The IRS advises taxpayers to continue filing their tax returns as they normally would in advance of the April 15 deadline, the agency said. TurboTax, the most popular tax preparation software, also issued a Wednesday statement reassuring people that its website is now protected against Heartbleed.
Answers to Wednesdays questions: When it comes to language, a dysphemism is the opposite of a euphemism. Its a disparaging or offensive word or phrase thats used in place of an inoffensive word or phrase. Examples include using lackey rather than assistant and cheap rather than thrifty. The pineapple originated in Paraguay and southern Brazil, and later spread throughout South and Central America into the Caribbean, not in Hawaii. Christopher Columbus found the fruit in Guadalupe in 1493 and brought some back to Spain. Pineapple wasnt planted in Hawaii until 1813, when a Spanish advisor to King Kaehameha I planted some that hed carried there by ship. Todays questions: What is the full name of former Florida governor Jeb Bush, the son of President George H.W. Bush and brother of President George W. Bush?
