Rail project to boost economic development, traffic

BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
FORT WAYNE, INDIANA The railroad that runs east-to-west across the midsection of Van Wert County will be improved
in order to increase train traffic on the line.
Officials with the Chicago, FortWayne, and
Eastern (CFE) Railroad made the announcement on Thursday.
This private-sector investment enhances
an important piece of transportation infrastructure in Indiana and Ohio, said CFE
President Chuck McBride. By increasing
the railroads capacity to transport freight,
the improvement project benefits existing
customers and also makes the CFE corridor

more attractive for potential new customers
and economic development opportunities
along the line. Through these investments,
we look forward to enhancing this route to
help attract new industries that need superior
access to the national rail freight network.
We believe this fits well with the current
resurgence of industries locating new facilities in Indiana and Ohio.
The track improvement project is designed
to enable 40-mph train speeds across the 315mile line stretching from Tolleston, Indiana
(near Chicago) to Crestline, Ohio. The work,
which CFE claims will be completed as early
as this month, includes leveling and aligning
nearly 50 track-miles, replacing segments of
rail, and installing more than 10,000 new railroad ties. The projects completion is expected to help alleviate rail freight congestion
near Chicago by creating an alternate route in
and out of that city.
For motorists and residents locally, this is
expected to increase train traffic. Up to six
more eastbound trains per day are anticipated.
Motorists and pedestrians should take
note that trains will be running more frequently and also at higher speeds on certain
segments that were not 40 mph before, said
McBride. Always obey signs and warning
devices at railroad crossings, and cross only
at designated crossings.
The CFE line runs from Allen County,
Indiana through Van Wert, Allen, Hardin,
Crawford, and Wyandot counties in Ohio. In

this segment there are more than 400 public
and private crossings, and 221 of those crossings are now being improved to 40 mph.
The additional trains will be operated by
Norfolk Southern Railway which rights to
run and dispatch trains on the CFE. Genesee
& Wyoming, North Americas largest owner
of short line and regional freight railroads,
acquired CFE in 2012.
A release from Genesee & Wyoming
Tuesday does not mention improvements to
rail crossings as part of the project. The City
of Van Wert has been in discussions with the
railroad about making improvements to the
crossings for several months, but no progress
has been reported on those talks.

Council on Aging Director
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Eating
foods rich in micronutrients
vitamin B, C, omega-3 fatty
acids and antioxidants, as
well as spending moderate
amounts of time in the sun,
can help boost brain health,
decrease disease risk and promote better cognitive functions, especially in the older
adult population.
Elida Health Foods Health
and Wellness Trainer Ryan
Walls said the most important

thing to remember is for the
brain to function well, people
have to drink water.
A one-percent dehydration of the body causes a five-percent decline in
brain function, Walls said.
Peoples bodies should
contain one-half of their
body weight in ounces of
water. For example, a person weighing 100 pounds
should have 50 ounces in
their bodies.

VAN WERT Kevin Matthews, Council on Aging
director for Van Wert County, admits with a bit of pride these
days that his love of helping hurting people came from, the
sock man, actually his father.
My dad was always active in helping people, said
Matthews in his office at the Van Wert Senior Center. He
was always involved in homeless things. He was known as
the sock man on the streets. He gave thousands of socks to
homeless people. My mom was always baking for them.
It was those early giving efforts from his parents that
influenced Matthews into spending his life reaching out to
others.
There are a lot of people hurting, said Matthews. There
are a lot of less fortunate people, people who are great people
who are struggling through no fault of their own.
Theyve lost their jobs; theyve had medical problems;
theyve lost loved ones, Matthews observed.
So many people have gone through bad cycles and
its tough to get out of it. So many people fall into depression and we need to do all that we can to help them out
of it.
These days, Matthews is investing his life in the needs of
the elderly as an executive director of the Van Wert County
Council on Aging. His office is located in the Van Wert
County Senior Center, which operates under the umbrella of
the Council on Aging.
A lot of people here dont have a big network of friends,
said Matthews. They have medical problems; they need all
of the help they can get. It is our responsibility to figure out
a way to help them.

grants wishes in Ohio
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
VAN WERT Everyone has different wishes or dreams of things they hope
to do during their lifetime. For some it
may be taking a family vacation or visiting a loved one that has moved away.
Many people put off their wishes
and dreams to the future. But for those
diagnosed with a terminal illness, their
future is now. Dreams and wishes are
tucked deep underneath the pain and
suffering of everyday life. Living with
a life-limiting illness often drains financial and emotional resources causing
more strain on families as they struggle
with the daily battle of their illness.
The Angel Foundation is a nonprofit
organization based in Van Wert dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of terminally-ill adults living in Ohio.
Affiliated with Community Health
Professionals Hospice, The Angel
Foundation was established in 1995 to
address unfulfilled dreams of hospice
patients. Today, this privately-funded
charity facilitates about 15 wishes per
year for individuals both locally and
throughout the state.
Many wishes involve a terminally
ill parent that wants to create a lasting
happy memory for their children to have
once they have passed from this earth.
Jacqueline Libecap, 69, of Huber
Heights had always enjoyed going out
with her husband for a steak dinner on
Saturday nights. Even after he passed
away 15 years ago, Libecap continued
their tradition by taking herself out for
a steak dinner on Saturdays as a way to
remember.
Shortly after being diagnosed with a
terminal illness, Libecap was no longer
able to get out of her house. During a
visit from her hospice social worker,
Libecap expressed a wish to have a steak
dinner with her daughters.
The social worker contacted The
Angel Foundation, which made arrange-
Jacqueline Libecap, 69, of Huber Heights

ments to have a gourmet steak dinner
delivered to Libecaps home for her and
her daughters to enjoy on a Saturday
night. In addition, a local florist donated
an arrangement in honor of the special
day.
My girls were so happy for the gift
you provided for us, Libecap said. We
didnt have to be in Las Vegas, Miami
or another country to make our wish
happen. It happened in my home around
a table of delightful food. We felt like
queens!
Another wish granted by The Angel
Foundation this year included a husband
and wife getaway and a comedy show.
Sandra Pfab, 61, of Wauseon was
battling lung cancer and wanted a
honeymoon getaway that she and husband never had. The Angel Foundation
arranged for a couple of nights for them
in Toledo. At the hotel, Pfab was able to
take a real shower in the rooms walk-in
shower and enjoyed sleeping in a regular
bed instead of a hospital bed for the first
time in a while.
The couple enjoyed a lobster dinner

donated by a local restaurant and afterward, they were treated to a show featuring comedian Heywood Banks with
tickets donated by the comedy club.
Harry and I had a wonderful time,
Pfab said. Other than the not walking
thing, I almost forgot I am dying of cancer. You made this dying old lady feel
very special and very happy.
According to Deb Tracey, wish coordinator, the organization receives no
federal or state funding and relies solely
on individual and in-kind donations.
We are just a small, rural nonprofit,
said Tracey. But with the support of
our dedicated community, we continue
to do the important work of providing
comfort and closure during the end-oflife journey.
A report on all the wishes completed
by The Angel Foundation in 2014 can
be found at the organizations website:

Northwest State seeks

nominations for award
ARCHBOLD Northwest State Community College is
accepting nominations for the 2015 Distinguished Alumni
Award.
This award is the most notable recognition presented
by the NSCC Alumni Association. Developed in 1998,
the Distinguished Alumni Award honors alumni who have
achieved recognized prominence in their careers and made
significant contributions to their communities and the lives of
others.
Northwest State has more than 9,200 alumni, and 85 percent continue to live and work in the six-county area, said
Robbin Wilcox, director of development. These graduates are
making a positive impact throughout northwest Ohio and we
want to hear those stories.
To be eligible, at least three years must have elapsed since
the nominee graduated from NSCC with an associate degree.
All who are nominated will receive a letter announcing their
nomination and a form requesting additional information.
After all documentation has been received, the NSCC
Alumni Association will form a committee that will select the
winners for 2015.
The Distinguished Alumni Award goes beyond recognizing the accomplishments of NSCC alumni. These award
winners demonstrate, to both current and potential students,
what can be achieved through education and hard work,
Wilcox said.
Nomination forms are available online, and more information can be found in the alumni section at NorthwestState.edu.
To submit a nomination, contact Wilcox at 419-267-1460
or rwilcox@NorthwestState.edu. Nominations are due by
March 3.
Pregnant smokers persuaded

to quit with free diapers
AKRON (AP) Pregnant
smokers in one northeast Ohio
county can get free diapers
in exchange for permanently
kicking the habit through a
new health program.
Summit Countys Baby &
Me-Tobacco Free program
aims to reduce premature
births and infant mortality, as
studies have linked smoking
during pregnancy to preterm
labor and health problems for
infants, the Akron Beacon
Journal (http://bit.ly/1JWp5QF) reported.
The programs incentive
could be worth hundreds of
dollars per mother. Pregnant
smokers can earn a $25
voucher each month for one
year if they quit smoking,
attend at least four support
group sessions and prove
theyre smoke-free by passing monthly carbon monoxide tests after their children
are born.
Participant Brittney Lykes
is expecting twins this summer, so she could get twice as
many vouchers if she is suc-
cessful a significant incentive for the Akron woman,

who already has two children.
I dont want any harm
done to them or my other
ones I have here, said Lykes,
24. You have to think about
the babies.
Lykes said she used to
smoke half a pack each day
or two but has cut back to one
cigarette a day and is hopeful about quitting before the
twins come.
The local program has a
budget of about $61,000. It is
funded through a state grant
and modeled after the Baby
& Me-Tobacco Free program
launched in Jamestown, New
York, 14 years ago.
That programs creator
and director, Laurie Adams,
said it provides positive messaging to help moms feel supported during the challenge
of going smoke-free.
Were getting these moms
to quit during the course of
pregnancy, but were keeping
them quit, which is the toughest part, Adams said.
Overnight shutdowns of I-75

NB this week in Cincinnati
.CINCINNATI (AP) Ohio transportation authorities plan
to shut down all northbound Interstate 75 lanes during overnight bridge work this week in Cincinnati.
The continuing construction project aimed at increasing
capacity and safety on the major north-south highway calls for
full closures Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights.
The northbound lanes will close from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. each
night between the Mitchell Avenue and Norwood Lateral interchanges just north of downtown.
There will be a single lane closure northbound starting at 8
p.m. Thursday, with two lanes closed at 11 until 6 a.m. Friday.
The Ohio Department of Transportation says weather conditions could change the schedule. Arrow boards and signs will
advise motorists.

Sundance breakout Me
and Earl and the Dying Girl,
a quirky, heartfelt story about
a pair of high school film
lovers who befriend a girl
with cancer, won both the
U.S. dramatic audience award
and the grand jury prize at the
31st Sundance Film Festival
awards, announced Saturday.
Thomas Mann, R.J. Cyler,
and Olivia Cooke lead the
cast of the idiosyncratic tearjerker from director Alfonso
Gomez-Rejon, who dedicated
the audience award to all the
filmmakers and artists in his
hometown of Laredo, Texas.
Nick Offerman, Connie
Britton, and Molly Shannon
also star.
My love goes out to the
entire cast and crew, said
Gomez-Rejon. This movie
was about processing loss but
really to celebrate a beautiful life and a beautiful
man, which is my amazing
father to celebrate his life
through humor.
The Wolfpack, Crystal
Moselles documentary about
six movie-loving teenage
boys isolated from society
picked up the grand jury prize
for best documentary.
I stalked these kids on the
street one day and here I am,
said Moselle.
Comedian Tig Notaro,
whose documentary Tig
premiered at the Festival,
hosted the ceremony. She
also told the audience that
she used to volunteer at the
Festival in the mid-90s.
The 31st Sundance Film
Festival wraps on Sunday.

Sniper shoots down Super Bowl

weekend record with $31.9M
NEW YORK (AP)
American Sniper shot down
another box-office record: Its
$31.9 million is the biggest
Super Bowl weekend gross
ever.
According to studio estimates Sunday, the Clint
Eastwood film narrowly
surpassed the previous top
Super Bowl weekend draw.
The concert film Hannah
Montana/Miley Cyrus: The
Best of Both Worlds Concert
Tour earned $31.1 million
earned in 2008.
Hollywood often avoids
competing with the Super
Bowl as movie-going falls
dramatically on Sunday, but
American Sniper has prov-
en an unlikely sensation. It
has now made $248.9 million in six weeks (and only
four weeks of wide release),
making it the most lucrative
war movie without adjusting
for inflation. (The distinction was previously held by
Steven Spielbergs Saving
Private Ryan.)
The competition was thin,
as Hollywood held off any
high-profile releases, largely
ceding the weekend to football.
The Weinstein Co. animated adaptation Paddington
came in a distant second with
$8.5 million in its third weekend. In a virtual tie with it

Made by Michael Bays

releases with modest box-office ambitions.
Black or White, a
racially-charged custody
drama that reteams Kevin

than the $1.5 million pulled

Brady, Butler rally Pats

for Super Bowl title

St. Johns Andy Grothouse heads to the rim despite the defense of Spencervilles Zach Goecke during boys basketball
action Saturday night at Arnzen Gymnasium. (DHI Media/
Kenny Poling)
Jays roll past Bearcats in

non-conference action
By LARRY HEIING
DELPHOS After last

years St. Johns/Spencerville
boys basketball game at The
New Walk-In Closet was
cancelled by heavy snow, the
snow came again Saturday
night but only after the Blue
Jays rolled to a 67-56 victory inside Robert A. Arnzen
Gymnasium.
Both teams were coming
off tough conference battles
the night before. The Bearcats
defeated Columbus Grove in
convincing fashion 59-42
in Northwest Conference
action. St. Johns led Midwest
Athletic Conference foe St.
Henry until a controversial
call at the end of the third
period turned the momentum
in the Redskins favor for the
43-30 win.
The Bearcats scored
first Saturday night with a
pass from Zach Goecke to
Griffin Croft for the layin.
Evan Hays got the Jays on the
board with a jumper from the
foul line. Spencerville outscored the Jays 6-1 before
Alex Odenweller connected
from downtown. Foul trouble became a factor early at
the 3:10 mark as St. Johns
Austin Heiing and Griffin
Croft for Spencerville headed
to the bench with their second

foul. Andy Grothouse evened
the score at nine with a pullup jumper and Spencerville
went back in front with a
bank from the left side by
Dakota Prichard. Mason
Nourse extended the Bearcat
margin with a baseline jumper as Spencerville led 13-9
after the first eight minutes
of action.
Grothouse and Odenweller
nailed back-to-back triples
to begin the second stanza,
giving St. Johns the lead at
15-13. Spencervilles Damien
Corso tied the back-andforth battle with a bucket
from the baseline. St. Johns
Tyler Conley got in on the
action with his first basket
of the night but Spencerville
took the lead back with a
3-point rainbow by Prichard.
Grothouse got 3-point basket
the old-fashioned way with
a hoop-and-foul followed
by another inside bucket by
Goecke to even the score at
20. Both squads traded triples: St. Johns Robbie Saine
and Nourse for Spencerville;
for the final tie of the contest.
St. Johns went on a 6-0 run
before the half with a pair of
buckets by Tim Kreeger and a
spin move by Grothouse for a
29-23 lead.

GLENDALE, Ariz. Tom Brady

threw four touchdown passes, Malcolm
Butler intercepted Russell Wilson in the
end zone and the New England Patriots rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit
to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 in the
Super Bowl on Sunday.
Brady overcame two interceptions
to lead the Patriots to their fourth Super
Bowl championship, becoming the third
quarterback along with Pittsburghs
Terry Bradshaw and San Franciscos Joe
Montana to win four titles.
Brady, coach Bill Belichick and the
Patriots needed three tries to win their
fourth title since 2001. They lost to the New
York Giants twice before dethroning the
defending champion Seahawks.
After Jermaine Kearse made a twisting,
turning, tumbling catch for a 33-yard gain
to the Patriots 5, Marshawn Lynch ran 4
yards to the 1. But Wilson, operating from
the shotgun, was intercepted on a pass
intended for Ricardo Lockette.
Brady jumped up and down on the
sideline and hugged Belichick to celebrate
the win. A dejected Wilson walked off the
field stunned.
As the Patriots (15-4) ran out the clock,
players on both sides fought and Seahawks
linebacker Bruce Irvin was ejected.
Down 10 to start the fourth, Brady
rallied the Patriots with a 5-yard TD pass
Danny Amendola in the back of the end
zone and a 3-yarder to Julian Edelman
with 2:02 left in the fourth for the go-ahead
score.
With the Seahawks leading 24-14, the
Patriots defense held as Rob Ninkovich
sacked Russell Wilson to force a punt.
After Brady was sacked on the first play,
he drove the offense 76 yards to get New

England within a field goal. Bradys scoring strike to Amendola gave him a Super
Bowl record 11 TD passes. Brady also set
a Super Bowl record with 37 completions.
He finished with 328 yards passing.
After Katy Perrys colorful halftime performance, the Seahawks came out firing.
Wilson threw a 3-yard touchdown pass
to Doug Baldwin after Bradys second
interception of the game and the Seahawks
took a 24-14 lead over the Patriots going
into the fourth.
Unknown receiver Chris Matthews had
a breakout game in the first three quarters,
making his first four career catches for 109
yards. Matthews, a cousin of Hall-of-Fame
defensive end Reggie White, played in just
three games before he made the crucial
onside kick recovery in the NFC title game
against Green Bay.
His first catch was a twisting 44-yard
reception over Kyle Arrington to the
Patriots 11. Two runs later, Lynch scored on
third-and-goal from the 3. Matthews next
catch was an 11-yard TD with 2 seconds
left in the second quarter. He had a 45-yard
catch on the first series of the third quarter
to set up Steven Hauschkas 27-yard field
goal for a 17-14 lead.
On the ensuing possession by New
England, All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner
stepped in front of Bradys pass to Rob
Gronkowski and returned six yards to the
Patriots 34. Wilson had a 15-yard run and
Lynch ran 14 yards before the TD pass to
Baldwin, who drew an unsportsmanlike
penalty for his celebration.
Brady, the first quarterback to start six
Super Bowls, had only two interceptions in
his first five. He threw his first pick in the
end zone in the first quarter.
The teams got down to football under
the open retractable roof at University of
Phoenix Stadium after dealing with distractions far beyond typical Super Bowl hype
over the past two weeks.
The Patriots are being investigated for
using under-inflated footballs in their 45-7
win over Indianapolis in the AFC championship game.
Meanwhile, star running back Lynch
was a daily sideshow for the Seahawks this
week because he refused to answer questions from the media.
In the 12th matchup between No. 1
seeds since 1975 and the second in a row,
the Seahawks (14-5) were trying to become
the first team to win consecutive Super
Bowls since the Patriots a decade ago.
Seattle routed Denver 43-8 last year.
Brady bounced back after his first
pick to throw his NFL record-setting 50th
postseason TD pass an 11-yarder to
Brandon LaFell on the next drive. He threw
a 22-yarder pass to Gronkowski with 31
seconds left in the second quarter to give
the Patriots a 14-7 lead.
But the Seahawks answered quickly.
Wilson drove them 80 yards on five plays
in only 29 seconds.
Robert Turbin ran 19 yards. Wilson
followed with a 17-yard run. Wilson then
connected with Lockette for 23 yards and
a facemask penalty away from the ball
tacked on 10 yards.
Instead of kicking a field goal, the
Seahawks ran one more play with 6 seconds remaining. Matthews beat Logan
Ryan to make the catch.
Jeremy Lane made his first career interception on Bradys first poor throw and
weaved his way to the 14 before Edelman
knocked his own helmet off while making
the tackle. Lane went to the locker room
after being hurt on the return and was ruled
out for the rest of the game with an arm
injury.
Baughn returns to Grand Nationals to take title

DHI Media Staff Reports
COLUMBUS - After a runner-up finish a year ago, Delphos resident Lillian

Baughn set a goal to return to the Grand
Nationals this year and take home the title.
On Saturday, at the Columbus State
Fair and Expo Center, Baughn stared
down the competition and claimed
National Kiddie Tractor Pullers
Association Grand National championship in the 7-8 year old group.
Baughns final pull of 25 feet, 1 1/2
inches was just 13 inches beyond that of
her nearest challenger and good enough
for first place in what was the final
pull-off. Still, in order to clinch the title,
Baughn had to watch as one final competitor took his turn on the tractor. When
his ride came in at just over 17 feet,
Baughn and her family could celebrate.
I went back to my mom and was like
theres one more kid to go, Baughn
said following the event, acknowledging
her nervousness.
The initial pull featured a weight of
550 pounds on the sled, which was drawn
behind Red Hot, the NKTPAs biggest
pedal tractor. That weight didnt prevent
12 of the 35 Grand National competitors
from completing the entire 30-foot track
and that group came back from a second
pull, this one at 600 pounds.
Lillian Baughn of Delphos pulls a 720-pound sled during her final pull at the
Grand Nationals in Columbus on Saturday. Baughn won the 7-8 year old
championship with a final pull of just over 25 feet. (Submitted photo)
The extra weight was enough to
eliminate half the field but the NKTPA
officials had a problem: they had run out
of weights. What do you do when you
dont have enough weight? You recruit
a kid, of course. A boy of about 12 years
old and weighing an estimated 120

pounds took a seat on the back of the
sled and held on tight as the six remaining pullers took a final turn on Red Hot.
Kalida forced eight more errors in

the third stanza but they turned it back
over six times. However, they steadily
added to their lead as Allison Recker
(15 counters, 6 rebounds) netted seven.
When Gardner dropped a 3-ball from the
right wing at 46 ticks, Kalidas margin
was 37-27.
Miller City needed to heat up in a
hurry in the fourth period but this afternoon, they couldnt get it done: 5-of-17.
Kalida matched that and more with
6-of-11 from the floor and 5-of-10 at the
line, with their lead reaching 50-29 on
a baseline drive by Gardner with 3:15
left before the LadyCats emptied their
bench.
We didnt have the kind of effort
Id like for us to have throughout the
entire game, especially the first half. We
were gambling too much the first period
and putting ourselves in bad positions,
Kalida coach Adam Huber explained.
We kept talking to the girls about simply settling down and not gambling and
once we did that, we were much better at
containing their penetration and getting
out on the 3s. Offensively, we missed
some easy shots early on but got better
as the game wore on.
The other stats were relatively close:
Kalida had 26 boards (5 offensive) versus 25 for the hosts (9 offensive), while
the visitors turned it over 21 times to
Miller Citys 26. Kalida won the fouls
11-20.
It came down to the shooting for
us; we havent shot well all year. I
felt our defense did a nice job but the
offense struggled, Miller City mentor
Chris Rump said. Early on, we were
too quickly settling on the 3s and not
getting it inside. We adjusted and then
tried to get it in the post but we couldnt

get anything going. We couldnt adjust
back quick enough to shooting from the
perimeter. I felt we did get some good
looks because of good ball movement on
the perimeter but couldnt get it to drop.
In junior varsity action, Kalida
romped 32-8 behind nine points from
Sarah Klausing
Alaina Niese netetd five for the
Widlcats and Megan Niese the other
three.

LadyCat D stifles Miller City

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
MILLER CITY Kalidas girls basketball team was simply more consistent when it came to shooting Saturday
afternoon.
The result was a 54-41 Putnam
County League triumph inside J. Harry
Leopold Gymnasium at Miller City
High School.
The LadyCats (12-5, 4-0) canned a
warm 19-of-37 from the field (2-of-5
long range) for 51.4 percent and 14-of23 at the line (60.9%).
The host Lady Wildcats (3-14, 2-4)
were a colder 15-of-44 from the floor
(6-of-19 downtown) for 34.1 percent
and 5-of-7 from charity (71.4%).
Both teams were looking to push the
pace from the start totaling 23 shots
between them. However, neither could
really get going from the field as Miller
City was 5-of-13 and Kalida 3-of-10.
What kept the LadyCats was 7-of-8
from the free-throw line. When Chrissy
Berger (7 markers, 4 boards) hit the 2ndof-2 singles at 51.5 ticks, the Wildcats
were up 15-13.
The LadyCats defense a mix of
1-2-1-1 in the 3/4-court and full-court
and either man or 1-3-1 half-court
began to assert itself in the second period, limiting the Blue and Gold to 2-of-6
shooting and forcing nine miscues. On
the other end, Kalida was only 4-of-8
but took the lead for good on a single
by Kylie Osterhage (9 points, 6 caroms)
at 50.2 ticks. When Jacquelyne Gardner
(12 counters, 7 boards, 5 steals) took a
half-court steal into a layin at 33 seconds, Kalida led 23-20.

Baughn
(Continued from page 6)
I thought he was going to fall off because I was going to
go too fast, Baughn explained. But, he was heavier than I
thought, so he stayed on.
One of them, Brooke Wilker of Celina, stood out with a
strong run, coming in at 24 feet, 1 inch. Baughn sat nervously
and waited for her turn, knowing she needed a strong showing
to beat the mark set by Wilker. When Baughns tractor came
to a halt still nearly five feet short of the end of the track, she
wasnt sure she had done enough to win.
That one girl (Wilker) had gone really far and I thought I
couldnt beat it because there was a kid on the back, Baughn
added.
Baughn, the daughter of John and Valerie Parent and Joe
Baughn, competed as a 9-year-old, as many of the competitors
did, thanks to NKTPA regulations which use the childs age at
the time of qualifying. Baughn and her brother Sebastian, who
placed 14th in the Grand National, qualified for the championship during a NKTPA sanctioned event at the Buckeye Farm
Antique Show in Wapakoneta in May. She turned nine one
month later.
Unlike Sebastian, who can compete again next year should
he qualify before his ninth birthday, Lillian wont be eligible to
return to Columbus to defend her title. The NKTPA sanctions
only three age groups: 3-4 year old, 5-6 year old and 7-8 year
old. In the 2014 Grand Nationals, Baughn came up short in the
final pull and took home a second-place trophy. She had qualified for that run during the 2013 Convoy Community Days.
Girls dominated the top spots on Saturday, despite being
vastly outnumbered by the boys in the competition. Along with
Baughn and Wilker, the runner-up at 7-8 year old, Addison
Bourdo defeated the 5- and 6-year-old field for her national
title. A.J. Yoder was the overall winner in the 3- to 4-year-old
group.
Jays
The second half began

with another spin move by
Grothouse for an 8-point
Blue Jay lead. Conley put
back his offensive rebound
on the Jays next possession
but Spencerville continued
to attack inside with a drive
by Goecke. The Bearcats
offense produced only two
field goals from the floor in
the third period but 5-for8 free-throw shooting kept
them within striking distance,
40-32, after three quarters.
Conley and Goecke
exchanged buckets to begin
play in the final quarter.
Kreeger was not only a
huge factor inside for the
Jays but he also dished out
an assist to Conley on the
break as the Jays led 44-34.
After a bucket by Grothouse,
Spencerville pulled within
nine on a hoop-and-foul by
Jacob Meyer. Conley repaid
his debt to Kreeger on the
earlier break with an assist
to the 6-6 sophomore for the
layup. Spencerville displayed
some great teamwork as well
with a back-tap on an offensive rebound by Croft out to
Nourse for the basket. The
Bearcats kept the fans on the
edge of their seats, creeping
with 49-41 with 4:34 remaining on an inside hoop by
Meyer. The St. Johns offense
extended its lead to 13 points
after the Bearcats failed to
draw closer before making
a final charge. Corso and
Goecke connected for the
Bearcats to reduce the Jays
lead to single digits. Goecke
drained a long 3-pointer from
in front of the Spencerville
bench to pull within seven,
57-50. Kreeger scored as
St. Johns broke through the
press to silence the Bearcats
momentum to seal the victory.
This was a battle of two
teams that pride themselves
with pressure defense, commented Bearcat coach Kevin
Sensabaugh. I told the kids
that its tough to beat a team
when they play tougher than
you. St. Johns played with a
sense of urgency tonight and I
thought we were a little flat.
The Bearcats had two
players in double figures as Goecke scored
16 and Prichard added 14.

Spencerville shot 58 percent
from the field, 5-of-14 from
long range.
St. Johns was led by
Grothouse with 24 points and
Conley chipped in 14. came
of the bench with six field
goals for 12 points, along
with some key offensive
rebounds. The Blue Jays were
also accurate from the floor,
landing 57 percent of their
shots, 5-of-14 from 3-point
range.
This was a good team
effort for us, an exhausted
St. Johns coach and new
father Aaron Elwer said.
We came out with heavy
legs tonight but fortunately
found our second wind before
Spencerville. Our effort was
the same as the St. Henry
game but the difference was
that our shots fell tonight.
I stressed the importance of
not losing two games in a
row at home and the team
responded.
In junior varsity action,
Spencerville hung on for a
36-35 victory.
Jacob Propst led the
Bearcats with 11 points while
Ryan Hellman scored 11 for
the Blue Jays.

Lady Big Green wins big over Jeffcats

By LIZ WINHOVER
DELPHOS The more
experienced Ottoville Lady Big
Green basketball team sized
up against the Jefferson Lady
Wildcats in non-league hardwood action Saturday afternoon
and came out on top 47-20.
Ottoville (11-6) arrived at
Jefferson (6-12) High School
looking for a win.
In the first quarter, the
Wildcats were unable to penetrate their lengthy opponents lineup. The only points
Jefferson received came from
senior Brooke Culp when she
was fouled and sent to the
line with 39.1 seconds to go
in the first and sank both
shots. On the other end of the
court, the Big Green managed eight points to the two
Culp secured as the quarter ended with that score on
behalf of the visitors.
Jefferson experienced cold
shooting again in the second quarter. Besides junior
Tori Blacks two free throws,
the only points Jefferson
saw came from a 3-pointer brought down by Culp.
Meanwhile, Ottoville was
using excellent ball movement against Delphos 1-2-2
zone, giving Nicole Kramer,
Brooke Mangas and Alicia
Honigford each a 3-pointer. Ottoville remained in the
lead at the end of the quarter and the half with a 26-7
spread.
A spark seemed to flicker

Landin from scoring during non-league girls basketball
action Saturday afternoon at Jefferson High School. (DHI
Media/Kenny Poling)
within Jefferson in the third
quarter as they worked to
double their halftime score.
The first play of the quarter generated a 2-pointer for
Ottovilles Annie Lindeman
but she was answered when
Culp managed a difficult
drive. Ottoville didnt yield,

though, and ended the quarter
outscoring their hosts 13-8 to
grab a 39-15 margin.
At the beginning of fourth,
Ottoville saw its first foul
shots taken by Lindeman.
And while Jeffersons defense
seemed to have strengthened,

it wasnt enough to stop
Ottoville from sealing the
deal by 27 points.
I thought our girls got
a lot better the second half,
attacking the basket and looking for shots, but we didnt
do a very good job of that the
first half. And then the few
shots we took we didnt finish, noted Jefferson Coach
David Hoffman.
Culp collected 15 points in
the game for Jefferson, while
Black and Taylor Stroh added
two and Jessica Pimpas the
other tally.
I thought we did a
good job of moving the ball
and finding the open person and getting easy shots,
said Ottoville coach Dave
Kleman. If you dont work
together, you have to take
tough shots all night and its
tough to win a ball game.
We had bunches of people
shooting the ball and scoring.
When you have people doing
that, youre hard to defend.
Lindeman netted 13 for
Ottoville, along with 11 by
Kramer and six by Bridget
Landin.
Jefferson hits the road
to contend with Paulding
on Thursday night while
Ottoville heads to Elida on
Tuesday.
Ottoville also took the win
in junior varsity action, 49-22.
Amber Miller dropped 16
and C.J. Kemper 15 for the
Lady Green.

with nine for the Red and
Jefferson boys battle by Devils, win 3rd straight

By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
ARLINGTON Jefferson had
another close battle Saturday night,
taking on Arlington in non-conference
boys action inside the Devildome of
Arlington High School.
Just like in a 5-point triumph over
Lincolnview the night before, the Wildcats
came through again to grab a 45-39
low-tempo slog over the Red Devils.
This was a big weekend for us; we
got two big road wins. We knew both
teams would be athletic and excellent
offensive rebounders and wed have
to battle both nights, Jefferson coach
Marc Smith explained. As coaches,
wed like to see the Xs and Os come
along faster for a young team but we
can only put the kids in good positions
to make plays; they just simply have to
figure it out on the floor. I think we took
big steps the last two nights in doing
just that. Our role players are starting to
make teams pay for focusing so much
on Trey (Smith) and Jace (Stockwell). In
particular, Dalton (Hicks) just battled all
night long both nights. Weve generally
been a good rebounding team but weve
struggled guarding people 1-on-1, which
is one reason weve gone to changing
defenses. We might not be in good position to rebound but we just ask them to
make a hustle and effort play.
Arlington coach Jason Vermillion
whose team, like Smiths, only plays one
senior in its rotation pointed to missing shots as the key to his teams loss.
We had a lot of good looks at the
basket but we didnt finish. Treys length
did give us some problems underneath in
that department but I felt we missed a lot
of good ones, he added. Defensively,
everybody knows the game play when
facing Jefferson: do the best you can to
stop Trey and Jace and hope no one else
picks up the slack. Tonight, those role
players did.
With both teams coming off league
battles the night before, one might have
Results
expected a close battle and see who

would come through in the end.
The Wildcats (9-7) did the trick after
taking a 32-29 edge entering the finale.
The Red and White drew first blood
on a Stockwell (16 markers - 3 treys)
drive at 6:30, only to see the Red Devils
(7-7) answer with a putback by Zach
Durliat at 6:06. Jefferson sophomore
Drew Reiss (4 points, 6 rebounds, 4
dimes) hit two free throws with under
six minutes left. After the hosts missed a
3-ball, the Wildcats got the rebound and
ran almost three minutes off the clock,
forcing Arlington to chase. They didnt
score then but after Arlingtons Aaron
Starr (7 markers, 5 assists, 5 boards)
hit 1-of-2 free throws (2:19) and Matt
Glick (9 counters, 9 rebounds) a slip
inside at 1:42 to get them within 36-34,
the Wildcats began a trek to the foul
line. With Hicks (4 counters, 10 boards)
hitting two singles at 1:25, that began
a 9-of-12 stretch from that 15-foot line
(18-of-23 for the game for 78.3%) to
salt it away.
The contest started out at a quicker pace
but soon turned into a patient tussle as both
offenses were figuring out how to attack the
others defense. Jefferson used its varied
schemes man-to-man and 1-3-1 and
1-2-2 zones and Arlington used either
a man, a 2-3 zone or a box-and-1 and diamond-and-1 to counter Smith (19 counters
- 2 triples - 5 boards). He did strike for nine
5-of-5 at the line and Stockwell the
other triple. When Hicks and Smith hooked
up on a high-low layin at 1:20, the Wildcats
were within 13-12.
The Arlington defense did a better
job of containing Smith, even using a
face-guarding box-and-1 to hold him to
two points. Stockwells three at 4:22 got
Delphos started. Arlington also had its
share of troubles against the Jefferson
defense, going 2-of-10. After Smith
gave the visitors their first lead on a
transition step-through at 1:49, a trifecta
by Ridge Babb (9 points - 3 bombs) at
the 50-second mark gave the Devils an
18-17 halftime spread.
The third period saw three ties and

four lead changes. Despite getting eight

offensive rebounds, Arlington could
only drop 5-of-17 from the field, so
Jeffersons 5-of-10 kept pace. In fact,
when Smith drained a trifecta from the
key at 30 seconds, Jefferson took the
lead for good at 32-29.
In sum, Jefferson totaled 11-of-30
shooting (5-of-16 beyond the arc) for
36.7 percent; with 31 rebounds (8 offensive) as Josh Teman added seven; six
miscues; and seven fouls.
Arlington finished 16-of-52 from the
field (5-of-22 downtown, for 30.8 percent; 2-of-5 at the line (40%); with 28
boards (14 offensive); with three turnovers; and 17 fouls.
In junior varsity play, the Wildcats
received16 from Alex Rode to pace a
40-32 win.
Arlington was topped by 10 from

help. -- RED-FACED IN MEMPHIS

DEAR RED-FACED: My advice is to be
upfront and tell the questioner that you dont
know why it happens, but youre not embarrassed. As you already know, blushing can
happen if someone suffers from a social phobia. In cases like that, counseling and support
groups can help. However, because you find
it happening even when you are not pressured
or embarrassed, discuss it with your physician
to be sure there isnt an underlying physical
problem.
ERALD
DEAR ABBY: Ive been dating my
42-year-old boyfriend, Mike, for a year. I
love him, but hes a heavy drinker. He has a
glass or two of whiskey on a daily basis and
goes through a huge bottle of whiskey every
weekend. (He also drinks beer like water.)
When I asked him to cut back, he refused because he loves whiskey. I have never seen
him drunk or act intoxicated, so he obviously
has a high tolerance.
It bothers me that Mike drinks so much and
that he wont cut back. I told him I wouldnt
marry him unless he does. My problem is, I
dont know whether hes an alcoholic since he
doesnt ever show signs of intoxication. Ive
been told that alcoholism is a progressive disease and that it will only increase.
What constitutes an alcoholic? Is it possible for Mike to drink every day but not be
one? I dont want to lose him, but he also has
a very bad temper, and Im afraid its not a
good combination if we were to get married.
-- TORN IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR TORN: You are right to be concerned. Even if Mike promised not to drink
so much, he might backslide on his promise
after the wedding.
Also, has it occurred to you that the whiskey may be part of what is causing Mikes
This may be more information than you

asked for, but I dont think Mike is marriage
material because it appears he is already wedded to his bottle.

Phytonutrients add

DEAR DOCTOR K: Youve mentioned

phytonutrients in a few recent columns. What
are they? And what can they do for our health?
DEAR READER: Lets begin by breaking
phytonutrients into its two parts. First, nutrients. These are chemicals in our environment that we need to get inside our body, usually through eating foods that contain them.

Nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins and fats. They
also include metals -- such as iron, copper, iodine and zinc -- and vitamins. Id call oxygen
and water nutrients, too.
Now to phyto. The word comes from the
Greek word for plant. And thats primarily
where you can find phytonutrients -- in plant
foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains,
dried beans and nuts. These natural compounds give plants their color, flavor, smell
and texture.

Obama ties foreign profits

tax to public works
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obamas budget
will propose an ambitious six-year, $478 billion public works
program of highway, bridge and transit upgrades, half of it
financed with a one-time mandatory tax on profits that U.S.
companies have amassed overseas, White House officials said.
The proposal, one of the main components of the $4 trillion
spending plan for the 2016 budget year that Obama will send
to Congress on Monday, attempts to tap into bipartisan support for spending on badly needed infrastructure repairs and
construction.
The tax on accumulated foreign profits would be set at 14
percent and due immediately. Under current law, those profits
only face federal taxes if they are returned, or repatriated, to
the U.S. where they face a top rate of 35 percent. Many companies avoid U.S. taxes on those earnings by simply leaving
them overseas.
The foreign earnings tax would be part of a broader administration plan to overhaul corporate taxes by ending certain
tax breaks and lowering rates, a challenging task that Obama
and Republican congressional leaders insist they are poised to
tackle this year.
Obamas budget proposal for the fiscal year that begins Oct.
1 will offer an array of spending programs and tax increases
that Republicans now running Congress have already dismissed as nonstarters.
What I think the president is trying to do here is to,
again, exploit envy economics, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan
of Wisconsin, the new chairman of the tax writing Ways and
Means Committee. This top-down redistribution doesnt
work.
But Ryan also told NBCs Meet the Press that he was
willing to work with this administration to see if we can find
common ground on certain aspects of tax reform.
The White House believes it has some leverage on taxing
foreign earnings by linking the revenue to construction projects that potentially could benefit the states and districts of
virtually every member of Congress.
White House officials were not authorized to discuss the
budget by name and described the proposal to The Associated
Press on the condition of anonymity.
Water
Water circulates throughout the body,

transferring healthful nutrients into the brain
and taking waste out.
The Institute of Medicine determined that
an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 13
cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day and the
AI for women is about nine cups (2.2 liters)
of total beverages a day. People may need to
modify their total fluid intake depending on
how active they are, the climate they live in,
their health status and if they are pregnant or
breast-feeding.
Foods high in magnesium are great for
synaptic plasticity (the mechanisms of learning and memory) and promote a stronger
development of neuro chemicals that improve
learning and memory, Wall explained.
Magnesium also helps combat stress, depression and hot flashes.
Foods high in magnesium include:
Dark leafy greens, including raw or
cooked baby spinach, collard greens, kale or
Swiss chard;
Pumpkin seeds one-half cup provides
close to 100 percent of the daily requirement
for magnesium almonds, sunflower seeds,
Brazil nuts, cashews, pine nuts, flax seed and
pecans also boast the nutrient;
Fish like mackerel, wild salmon, halibut
and tuna will add more magnesium to the
diet as well as help prevent brain shrinkage
of the hippocampus - a part of the brain associated with memory - and decrease cognitive
decline; and
Beans, lentils and berries are an excellent
source of B-complex vitamins which play
a huge role in protecting the brain against
shrinkage by promoting a healthy nervous
system and maintaining a stable blood sugar
level.
Antioxidants protect the brain from oxidative damage, Walls detailed. Everything
we eat oxidizes (combines with oxygen), for
example, when we eat french fries, the oil oxidizes creating free radicals which can damage
body tissues and glands.
Weak-bonded molecules from the oil of
the french fries split creating unstable oxygen
molecules (free radicals) with one unpaired
electron that scrambles to attack the nearest
stable molecule by stealing its electron,
causing cell damage to the body. When the
attacked stable molecule loses its electron,
it becomes a free radical and the process
begins a cascading chain reaction disrupting
living cells.
Some free radicals are created during
metabolism and some are created inherently
by cells to neutralize viruses and bacteria.
Environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke and herbicides also
spawn free radicals.
Officials meet to address

safety after aviation calamities
WASHINGTON (AP) Government
and aviation industry officials from dozens of countries are meeting in Montreal
this week to try to find consensus on
how to keep from losing airliners like
the one that vanished without a trace in
Asia and another shot down in Eastern
Europe.
It is only the second high-level
safety conference in the 70-year history of the International Civil Aviation
Organization, a U.N. agency, but last
year was calamitous. A Malaysia
Airlines flight disappeared in March
and has not been found. In July, another Malaysia Airlines flight was down
shot down while flying over an area of
Ukraine where ethnic Russian rebels are
trying to secede.
There is broad agreement that the
agency should build a database where
governments can send intelligence or
warnings about risks to aircraft flying
over conflict zones. Historically, though,
nations other than the United States rarely have posted public warnings about
such risks in other countries. Few have
global intelligence networks, and it has
been considered almost impolite for
one country to issue a warning about
another. Instead, the practice has been
for each country to issue warnings only
about its own airspace.
But that is changing.
ICAO, the U.N. agency, sent an
urgent warning to members on Jan. 14
that airlines flying over Libya risk being
shot down. On Jan. 22, the European
Aviation Safety Agency distributed a
Antioxidants specifically vitamins C

and E are involved in the prevention
of cellular damage (the common pathway
for cancer, aging and a variety of diseases)
brought on by free radicals. Antioxidants act
as scavengers and neutralize free radicals
by donating an electron to the free radical,
ending the electron-stealing chain reaction.
Antioxidants remain stable in either form.
Vitamin E rich foods like almonds, nuts
and avocado can be very beneficial to the
health of the brain, as well as promote healthy
blood vessels, Walls said.
Vitamin E is the most abundant fat-soluble
antioxidant in the body and one of the most
efficient chain-breaking antioxidants available as a primary defender against oxidation.
Research indicates the risk for Alzheimers
is reduced in individuals with high levels of
vitamin E, which also slows the diseases
progression.
Vitamin C is the most abundant water-soluble antioxidant in the body and works in cellular fluids promoting healthy skin as well as
proper blood vessel function. It also helps protect against dementia-related brain plaque-deposits of a protein fragment called beta-amyloid that build up in the spaces between nerve
cells. Sources of vitamin C include oranges,
lemons, limes, tomatoes, leafy greens, sweet
peppers, broccoli, strawberries and cantaloupe. Vitamin C also helps return vitamin E
to its active form.
Dark veggies high in the B-complex vitamin folate (folic acid) are very beneficial
in the diet, Walls said. Folate aids in controlling homocysteine a naturally occurring
amino acid found in plasma and high levels
of the amino acid are believed to increase
the risk of heart disease, stroke, Alzheimers
disease and osteoporosis.
Spinach contains antioxidant compounds
called flavonoids which have been shown to
slow the formation of dementia-related plaque
in the brain that may lead to Alzheimers. It is
also rich in vitamins A and K as well as iron
and folic acid.
Research indicates drinking three cups of
coffee each day can help to protect against
Alzheimers disease. Older adults with mild
cognitive impairments who drank coffee were
much less likely to develop Alzheimers disease opposed to those who consume little to
no caffeine.
Lower levels of vitamin D have been
linked to a higher risk of developing dementia as well as Alzheimers disease and other
cognitive problems. By using sunscreen and
spending 10-15 minutes in the sun (a few
times per week), people can boost their vitamin D levels and fight dementia. Foods providing higher levels of vitamin D include fish,
whole milk, mushrooms, deli meats, Tofu,
vanilla yogurt, eggs and many others.
French warning that flights over Pakistan

might be subject to terrorist attacks.
Ukraine had warned airlines flying
over its territory to remain above 32,000
feet. The Malaysia plane, however,
was flying at about 33,000 feet from
the Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur, the
Malaysian capital, when it was fired
upon.
A majority of the 298 people aboard
were Dutch citizens. The Netherlands
wants airlines to tell passengers before
takeoff whether a planes flight path will
cross a conflict zone. Airlines and other
nations say that goes too far.
While sympathetic to the Dutch concerns, were also confident that an
ICAO centralized database represents
a reasonable balance, said Kenneth
Quinn, former general counsel at the
Federal Aviation Administration.
There also are disagreements about
whether database information should
be screened before being made public, and how to handle conflicting or
inaccurate information. Besides official
intelligence, the database is expected to
include media reports and other unofficial information.
The U.S. does not believe the U.N.
agency is capable of evaluating the
information and wants sources of reports
be identified so users can decide how
much weight they want to give them,
said a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the issue
is politically sensitive. There may be
conflicting information, but you dont
make the world safer by protecting peo-
New spy case shows Russia up

to old tricks, prosecutors say
NEW YORK (AP) Three men accused in the latest Russian spy case didnt hide
behind fake identities and werent stealing military secrets. The evidence even suggests
they were annoyed that their assignment wasnt more like a James Bond film.
Their alleged plot to dig up economic intelligence on possible banking penalties and
alternative energy sources may not be the stuff of Hollywood movies, but U.S. authorities
insist the case is proof that Russian spying is thriving in America more than two decades
after the end of the Cold War.
It also shows the time and resources the U.S. still throws at those suspected of being
Putin-era spies, using methods developed before many of them were born: listening bugs,
hidden cameras and intercepted phone calls.
Russian spies continue to seek to operate in our midst, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara
warned after the arrests last week. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander
Lukashevich countered by accusing U.S. authorities of manufacturing a spy scandal as part
of its anti-Russian campaign.
Annemarie McAvoy, a Fordham Law professor and former federal prosecutor, said the
latest case shouldnt be taken lightly.
We have to be concerned about the economic warfare end of this. Thats what worries me, she said, noting the recent crippling cyberattack on Sony (NYSE:SNE) Pictures
involving the movie The Interview.
She said the arrests might demonstrate that the spy game has changed as countries seek
information to poise themselves to attack businesses and the economy. Its not looking for
military secrets. Thats almost passe now, McAvoy said.
The case against Evgeny Buryakov, Igor Sporyshev and Victor Podobnyy comes less
than five years after the arrest of 10 covert agents a sleeper cell referred to as The
Illegals by the SVR, the foreign intelligence agency headquartered in Moscow who
led ordinary lives for several years in the United States using aliases. All 10 pleaded guilty
in federal court in Manhattan to conspiracy charges and were ordered out of the country as
part of a spy swap for four people convicted of betraying Moscow to the West.

Now is the time that seniors should
be living comfortable lives. They
shouldnt have to worry about getting to
the store, getting to the doctor, getting
their groceries or having good meals,
added Matthews. At some point, everyone needs help.
Matthews said that he cant remember
a time when his heart wasnt focused on
helping others. He received his Bachelor
of Arts degree from Bowling Green
State University and a masters from
University of Northwest Ohio.
Prior to coming to the Council on
Aging, Matthews spent timing working
in the Lucas County Juvenile Court,
served as associate director for Star
Commonwealth and then to the senior
center.
Matthews said that Council on Aging

performs many operations daily to assist
with needs in the Van Wert area. Perhaps
the most prominent is providing transportation for pharmacy, medical and
everyday purchase needs. In addition,
the Council transportation vehicles provide rides to Walmart and for legal
counsel. Matthews noted that council
vans ran 33,000 miles worth of necessity
rides last year.
We dont want lack of transportation
to stand in the way of people living a
quality life, said Matthews. We do
transport out of the county to hospitals
and Social Security needs. The biggest
challenge is helping people in outlying
villages.
Meals at the Senior Center Caf cost
$2.50 daily, added Matthews. Meals
are cooked at the Van Wert Manor to
ple from ambiguity, the official said.

As for keeping track of planes, there
is agreement it needs to be done better,
but no certainty on how to do that.
The U.N. agency and the International
Air Transport Association, the worlds
leading airline trade group, want longhaul flights over ocean to report their
whereabouts every 15 minutes. If a
plane deviates from its route or if there
is some irregularity, the plane automatically would report its position every
minute. That way an impact site should
be within about 6 nautical miles of the
last reported position.
Some airlines are balking at the
potential cost. There also is disagreement over whether specific technology
solutions should be required or whether
airlines should be allowed to choose
their own, so long as a plane can meet
the reporting standard.
Malaysia Airlines 370 vanished en
route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing
with 239 people aboard. The Boeing
(NYSE:BA) 777 was capable of reporting continuous location information
by satellite, but the system was not
in use. The plane is believed to have
crashed in the Indian Ocean. More than
25,000 square miles of ocean have been
searched, but nothing has been found.
Current global aviation standards
require that airliners flying long distances over water report their position
about every 45 minutes, but satellite
services can provide more precise information. Customers of Spidertracks, a
New Zealand company that provides
provide fresh, hot meals. They are then

transported over to the senior center.
One of the main purposes of the
Senior Center is to give seniors the
opportunity to socialize and find enjoyment by visiting and making friends
from others in the area.
Matthews wife, Heather, provides
physical therapy in the school systems
for kids that are handicapped. She is also
president of the YWCA Board. A son,
Zachary, is attending Bowling Green
State University and is majoring in middle school education.
I love it here (Senior Center), said
Matthews. I enjoy people and I enjoy
hearing their stories from way back
when. I love to visit with them and I
enjoy seeing them have a good time. We
have a lot of wonderful people coming
in here.

Immigration lawyers in
cities that absorbed a large
share of those cases, including New York, San Antonio,
Los Angeles and Denver, say
theyve had hearings canceled with little notice and
received no new court dates.
Work permits, green cards,
asylum claims, and family
reunifications hang in the balance.
Denver immigration lawyer
David Simmons said hes never
seen such a standstill in nearly
30 years of practice. There is no
maneuverability, he said. Its
as if we have no court at all.
One of Simmons cli-
ents, Maximiano VazquezGuevarra, 34, recently won

his appeal to become a legal
permanent resident. But his
case still needs to go in front
of an immigration judge one
last time, and it has been
pulled from the docket.
Vazquez, who is from the
Mexican state of Guanajuato,
entered the U.S. illegally in
1998. He has been fighting
