Ohio unemployment holds steady at 5.1 percent

From StaFF and Wire

info@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT The year may
have changed, but the improved unemployment rate in Ohio did not. In
January 2015, the state jobless rate
remained at 5.1 percent the figure
December 2014s rate had been revised to according to figures released
Friday by the Ohio Department of
Job and Family Service. Although
the rate has not changed, the num-
ber of unemployed workers in Ohio

did increase by 1,000 to 293,000
while the number of employed workers jumped up by 25,100 during the
month. Still though, the number of
unemployed workers has dropped by
78,000 over the past 12 months, and
the unemployment rate has fallen
from 6.4 percent in January 2014 to
5.1 percent to begin 2015.
With the added jobs, Ohio Gov.
John Kasich says the state has now
fully recovered the jobs lost during
the national recession.
In a news conference Friday, the

Republican governor highlighted
the fact Ohio has now regained both
the 350,000 jobs lost during the recession-era governorship of his predecessor and more than the 406,000
jobs lost during the entire recession.
Kasich, a potential 2016 presidential contender, said hitting the
benchmark isnt mission accomplished but should make Ohioans
feel good and send a message about
Ohios successful financial stewardship to other states.
Ohios average wages remain below pre-recession levels but are rising faster than the national average.
Ohios unemployment rate was
5.1 percent in January 2015, unchanged from a revised 5.1 percent
in December 2014. Ohios nonfarm wage and salary employment
increased 25,100 over the month,
from a revised 5,369,900 in December to 5,395,000 in January.
The U.S. unemployment rate for
January was 5.7 percent, up from
5.6 percent in December, and down
Students enjoy books with mayor
from 6.6 percent in January 2014.

In January, Ohio jobs were added
both in goods-producing industries
(+2,300) and in private service-producing industries (+31,000). The
largest increases were seen in trade,
transportation, and utilities (12,300),
educational and health services
(+10,100), manufacturing (+3,600).
and leisure and hospitality (+3,100).
Job losses were seen in government
(-8,200) and in construction (-1,400).

Military offers help for post-traumatic stress disorder

BY CraiG adKinS
DHI Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
Every day, 23 service members
and veterans with post-traumatic
stress disorder are lost to suicide
due to the effects of their illness.
To put this number into prospective, if Congress suffered the same
losses, both the House and Senate
would be eradicated in three weeks
time.
PTSD, sometimes called shell
shock or combat fatigue in the past,

is brought on by extremely stressful situations. These stressors can
include near death experiences or
witnessing horrific events such as
those in combat. The first step in the
recovery process is identification
and diagnosis.
The following signs and symptoms appear courtesy of maketheconnection.net:
Feeling upset by things that
remind you of what happened;
Having nightmares, vivid
memories, or flashbacks of the event

that make you feel like its happening all over again;
Feeling emotionally cut off
from others;
Feeling numb or losing interest in things you used to care about;
Becoming depressed;
Thinking they are always in
danger;
Feeling anxious, jittery, or irritated;
Experiencing a sense of panic
that something bad is about to hap-
pen;
Having difficulty sleeping;
Having difficulty keeping
their mind on one thing; and
Having a hard time relating to
and getting along with their spouse,
family or friends
It isnt only the symptoms that
can be troubling, the following behaviors and reactions often complicate and disrupt sufferers lives
further:
Frequently avoid places or
things that remind them of what

Celina man arrested after

jumping on patrol car
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
CELINA A Celina
man had to be hospitalized
Friday after his behavior
caused the Mercer County
Sheriffs Office to be contacted.
According to a press release, around 9:19 a.m. Friday a call was received at
the Sheriffs Office about a

half-clothed man, covered
in blood, trying to fight with
people at a trailer park on the
east side of Celina.
When a deputy arrived at
Grand Manor Trailer Court,
the man, 20-year-old Dillon
J. Spencer, jumped on the
hood of the patrol vehicle.
When the deputy got out of
the vehicle, Spencer began to
charge at him in what a press
release termed a threatening and assaultive manner.

The deputy used his taser and Spencer was brought
under control and taken into
custody. He was taken to
hospital to be treated for injuries sustained before the
deputy arrived at the scene.
Probable cause was found
at Spencers residence, and a
search warrant was issued.
Suspected drugs and para-
phernalia were found at the

residence and the matter
was forwarded to the Mercer
County Prosecutors Office
to decide on charges to be
filed. Misdemeanor charges
were already filed in Celina
Municipal Court for persistent disorderly conduct,
aggravated menacing, criminal mischief, and resisting
arrest.
Change your smoke alarm batteries

when changing clocks this Sunday
Fire marshal encourages
working smoke alarms
and an escape plan
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS State Fire Marshal
Larry L. Flowers is reminding Ohioans
to make a potentially lifesaving change
when they move their clocks forward
one hour on Sunday, March 8: Change
the batteries in your smoke alarms!
In conjunction with Ohios fire departments, the Division of State Fire
Marshal encourages Ohioans to make a
habit of changing the batteries in their
smoke detectors at least twice a year
at the beginning and end of daylight
savings time. If smoke alarms are more

than 10 years old, you should replace
the entire unit.
Were still finding that many homes
in Ohio dont have working smoke
alarms, said Marshal Flowers. Many
times, fatal fires could have been prevented with the help of the early warning a smoke alarm provides. It gives
people time to escape.
For the greatest protection, install a
smoke detector on every level of your
home and inside each sleeping area.
Also, develop an escape plan with two
ways out and make sure every family
member knows what to do and where
to meet outside if the fire alarm sounds.
Take time to practice both a primary
and secondary escape plan, so that if a
real emergency occurred, you and your
family know what to do.

Marshal Flowers offers these additional tips:
Test smoke alarms at least once
each month to ensure that they are
working properly.

St. Marys is a fully accredited, non-public, chartered school
that meets all of the Ohio Department of Education requirements.
St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic School says they care

when life presents them with obstacles to overcome.
Students in grades first through third have their own iPads and students in grades fourth to sixth have their own
Chromebooks to be used in the classrooms on a regular basis. The school also offers a full computer lab with 18 student
use computers. Students participate in weekly physical education classes, art classes, library, technology classes, and
music classes.

Truth of Murder, Inc. more gruesome than Hollywood fiction

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
The story sounds like lines from
a Hollywood script.
A group of gangsters from the
streets of New York come together
to form a murder-for-hire association. The killers are Jewish, Italian,
and Irish criminals who are paid a
yearly retainer plus a fee, usually
between $1,000 to $5,000 per hit,
and report directly to the leaders of
the national crime bosses, people
like Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky.
The reason the tale sounds like
something from Hollywood is because at least two movies were
made about the group one starring Peter Falk and another Humphrey Bogart along with various
references across television shows
like the Sopranos and West Wing.
But all of those fictional stories are
based upon fact.
The name Murder, Inc. was
invented by the media at the time
of the events because of the corporate structure to the organization with board meetings and a
grievance process. Louis Lepke
Buchalter was the man who dealt
directly with the outfit most of the
time, taking the orders from the
board of directors to the group.
The group also accepted contracts from mob bosses around the
country although their main benefactors were the New York crime
syndicate.
Their most prominent murder
Delays Execution of Buchalter,

was of one of their own Dutch

Schultz. By the early 1930s, a rising
prosecutor with aspirations of a major political career was hot on their
heels. Buchalter kept Thomas E.
Dewey at bay by ordering the murders of witnesses and informants.
Schultz believed Buchalters actions
were not enough and went to the
board of directors to request a hit be
placed on Dewey. When the board
decided not to kill the prosecutor,
fearing the death of the crusader
would bring in more police than
they could stop, Schultz publicly
defied them and said he would kill
Dewey himself.
In an ironic twist, the board immediately placed an order for the
murder of Schultz, justifying the
action as one in the groups own
best interest. Schultz and four of
his bodyguards were gunned down
in the restroom of the Palace Chop
House a week later.
By early in 1940, Dewey was
starting to gain momentum. A police informant led him to Abe Kid
Twist Reles, the role eventually
played by Falk in the 1960 movie.
OSSINING, N.Y., March 3 - (AP) - Louis (Lepke)

Buchalter, assure of at least two more days of life by
a last-minute gubernatorial stay, today looked hopefully to the highest court in the nation to keep him
from the electric chair.
The one-time ruler of a vast cartel of crime, who
was to have been executed last night with two aides
for a1936 slaying, was told in the Sing Sing Prison
death house 70 minutes before execution time that
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey had granted the trio a stay
- until 10 p.m. tomorrow - pending an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.
Warden William E. Snyder said Lepke, whose
Reles had been involved with the
group since the late 1920s and he
had information on nearly everyone
involved. He proved to be a treasure trove of information right up
to the point where he fell to his
death from a hotel room balcony under police guard. Regardless, Dewey was like an angry pit bull and
refused to let go to the investigation
once he had started.
Buchalter, Mendy Weiss, Louis
Capone, and Philip Cohen were all
indicted for the murder of a candy-store owner in 1936. Cohen was
found guilty on a drug charge and
dropped from the case while Weiss
and Cohen were found guilty of the
murder. But even getting Buchalter
Cinderella Stamps
Having recently been to Disney
World in Florida, I was amazed at
the interest being placed on Cinderella and her castle. Little girls from 10
months old to those in their early teens
were dressed up in ball gowns, replica
glass slippers, and a tiara. The fascination must be coming back as we see
a new release of the movie Cinderella.
Interestingly, there is a category of
stamps that are referred to as Cinderella stamps. I am not quite sure how
this classification got its name, however, Cinderella was actually treated like
a stepchild and these stamps are the
stepchildren of stamp collecting. Most
collectors rely on the Scott numbering
system and identification system to
catalogue stamps issued by legitimate
governments with a monetary value
attached. So what are the stamps that
dont belong in an album, that look
and function as a real stamp but they
are fakes? In the late 1950 a group of
British collectors started the Cinderella Stamp Society and this moniker
has remained with these stamps since.
Some people have always considered
these fakes as trash, but as the old
saying goes, One mans trash, is another mans treasure.
One of the alluring factors of stamp
collecting is the hunt. Many collectors
spend their time and effort trying to
fill the page or the album the desire
is to have a complete collection. You
will see these people at stamp shows
circling around all the major dealers
booths hoping to swoop down and
catch the illusive stamp for their collections. Other collectors are on the
hunt for information. They seek out
the importance of the subject matter
on the stamp or the manner that it was
printed. That is why you will hear that
collecting stamps teaches you about
so many subjects throughout the world
geography, culture, the arts, history
and all other matters of the humanities.
In order to understand what Cinderella stamps are, you have to know what
they are not. You may recall previous
articles on errors, freaks, and oddities, and the incredible value of some
of them because they are so rare. But
to trial proved difficult.

For the man who had ordered
murders for almost two decades
including witnesses sitting a jury
was an arduous task. The pool of
jurors depleted quickly after vague
threats and strange visits caused
people to find any excuse not to
serve. Despite the difficulty, however, Buchalter was eventually found
guilty and sentenced to execution in
the electric chair.
By now, Dewey was the governor
of New York. He called a temporary
halt to the execution, long enough
for the Supreme Court to deny clemency before Buchalter and the others were executed on March 4, 1944.
This proved to be the strangest of all
CURATORS
CORNER
those were actual stamps; where Cinderella stamps can be anything from
an Easter Seal to a locally-produced
stamp made for a specific purpose. The
image you see here is of Easter Seals
from the 1930s. People were asked to
seal their letters with these stamps
in order to bring further awareness to
the plight of crippled children. Is this
ringing a bell? Thats right they are not
semipostals either. Those are priced
higher than a regular stamp in order to
raise money for a specific cause like
the Breast Cancer Awareness stamp or
the Save Vanishing Species stamps.
Some of the items that are considered Cinderella stamps are poster
stamps, propaganda labels, commemorative stickers, stamps issued
by non-recognized countries or governments, charity labels like Christmas seals, most telegraph stamps,
some railway stamps and some local
stamps, and purely decorative items
created for advertising or amusement.
Local stamps have a long history
dating back to 1860 in Russia. Al-

through alternate means. For example, in Switzerland the tourist trade
frequented spas and villas completely
off the beaten path in areas were the
Swiss Post did not venture. Each of
the resorts produced their own stamps
which paid for mail to be taken from
these resort areas to a legitimate post
office. These local stamps were placed
on the back of the envelope while the
postage for delivery through official
channels was placed on the front. The
islands of Calf of Mann, Summer
Isles, and Lundy located off the coast
of England, produced these types of
stamps.

Retired Air Force Col. Dean
Hess, who helped rescue
hundreds of orphans in the
Korean War and whose exploits prompted a Hollywood
film starring Rock Hudson,
has died at age 97.
Hess died Monday at his
home in Huber Heights, a
suburb of Dayton, after a
short illness, his son Lawrence Hess said Thursday.
Hess, an ordained min-
twists: Buchalter, the man who had

saved Deweys life by ordering the
hit on Dutch Schultz, was in large
part put to death because of Dewey
and his relentless investigation into
Murder, Inc.
After continuing trials, sentences and executions for the next
few years, Murder, Inc. disbanded
and was not heard of in that form
again. Officials estimate they
pulled off several thousand murders during the time of their operation.
Here now is a reprint of the March
3, 1944, Van Wert Times-Bulletin
article detailing the one extra day
of life granted to Buchalter by Gov.
Dewey.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
35, 60, and 75 Years Ago

BY DHI MEDIA STAFF
35 Years Ago
This week in 1980, Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotzbzadeh told reporters the American hostages held in Iran would
be transferred out of the U.S. Embassy to a new location in the
hope of their receiving better treatment from their captors. He
also said a U.N. commission would be allowed to see all the
hostages to ascertain their condition at the time of the move.
There was no official word where the hostages would be held
following the transfer.
Janet Peanut Ebbeskottes two free throws with three
seconds left in the game iced a 55-52 win for St. Johns girls
basketball team in Class AA district semi-finals at Kalida.
Ebbeskottes 23-point performance led all scorers as the Blue
Jays edged Bryan. St. Johns, 21-2, would meet Tinora, also 212, at Kalida for the district finals.
The Van Wert County Jail was cited for 17 structural and
electrical deficiencies following an inspection by the Ohio
Department of Industrial Relations. The inspection had taken
place at the request of Van Wert Fire Chief Paul Baer in connection with actions by the Ohio Bureau of Adult Detention
Facilities. DIR officials said repairs would need to be made to
move the facility up to code or the DIR would order it closed
to inmates. The building would also be closed to all public use,
including as the headquarters for the Sheriffs Department.
60 Years Ago
This week in 1955, continuing rain on the still frozen ground
was causing problems all over Ohio, including near the Ohio
River. Officials were bracing for the crest of the flood, expected
to be near 65 feet, to top the highest marks in at least the past
seven years. The Red Cross had already relocated more than
2,600 families in the path of the water.
Delphos-made toys were among the many displayed at the
52nd annual American Toy Fair in New York City. The Delphos Bending Company, toy manufacturing and wood bending
firm, was one of the companies displaying products at the fair.
The Delphos Bending Company displays consisted of the companys entire line of toy furniture, including the various sizes
of plastic hobby horses.
The Brumback Library announced new book arrivals for
readers to borrow. Among the list were Mary Todd Lincoln,
Girl of the Bluegrass by Katherine Wilkie, How Rabbit Stole
Fire by Emma Gelder Sterne, and Last Hurdle by Frieda
Kenyon Brown. All the new books were for young and teenage
readers.

Air Force vet who saved orphans in Korean War dies at 97

Announcement of the stay followed by a few
hours a surprise visit to the prison by Manhattan
District Attorney Frank S. Hogan who said he had
conferred with Lepke - at Lepkes request.
Lepkes attorney, J. Bertram Wegman, is seeking
a review in the high court of a U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals decision in New York yesterday which upheld a federal court denial of a writ of habeas corpus
application.

lieutenant colonel when he
helped arrange evacuation of
Korean orphans from their
countrys mainland to safety
on a coastal island, according to the National Museum
of the U.S. Air Force. He was
a significant figure in Air
Force history, and his efforts
to help Korean children are a
shining example of the Air
Forces humanitarian airlift
capabilities, museum historian Jeff Underwood said.
What is less well-known
is the instrumental role
he played in training the

fledgling South Korean Air
Force, Underwood said in a
statement.
Hudson, one of Hollywoods top leading men, portrayed Hess in the film Battle Hymn in 1957, a year
after he starred alongside
Elizabeth Taylor and James
Dean in Giant.
Battle Hymn also was
the title of Hess autobiography. He used the movie and
book proceeds to build an orphanage in South Korea, his
son said.
He was a humble man

who loved children and never
cashed in on his notoriety,
Lawrence Hess said.
A medal presented to
Hess by South Korean President Syngman Rhee in 1951
for his service during the
war is displayed at the museum near Dayton. Other
Hess artifacts there include
a flying helmet that he wore
in Korea and that Hudson
wore in the movie, which
also featured Martha Hyer
as his wife and Alan Hale Jr.
as a mess sergeant.
75 Years Ago
This week in 1940, police officers were stationed around
17-year-old actress Judy Garlands home after a 19-year-old
boy admitted that he and another adult had been planning to
kidnap the female star. He said he lost his nerve and decided to
tell the police to save Garland. Officials were still investigating
his story.
The members of the Ladies Aid Society of the United
Brethren Church held their regular meeting at the home of Mrs.
Frank Bair, North Main Street. Four new members were received into the society: Mrs. George Patton, Mrs. Carl Brown,
Mrs. Lowell Stirn and Mrs. Frank Bair.
The contract for paving the final section of the Lincoln
Highway between Van Wert and Delphos was awarded by the
Ohio State Highway Department to a contractor from Celina.
Just as importantly, the $201,380.32 bid to complete the final
six miles came in more than $40,000 below the states estimate. The bid award was awaiting federal approval before a
work schedule was announced.

Going Dadmode
Happy birthday, Twitter! You turn 9 years-old this month
and look what you have to celebrate.
Earlier this week, a retired Major League Baseball pitcher
known for a big ego and even bigger opinions, helped to bring
to light again the horrific amount of cyber-bullying that is in
the world today. But for once, he was able to exact a little justice that hopefully brings closure for his daughter and other
victims.
Curt Schilling pitched for the Baltimore Orioles, Houston
Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks, and
Boston Red Sox in a borderline hall of fame career where he
was a six-time All-Star, three-time World Series champion,
and World Series MVP. At the height of his time in a baseball
uniform, he was a bulldog on the mound with a competitive
streak a mile wide and an attitude to match.
Schillings name and the words meek, shy, and introverted, probably never appeared in the same sentence, during his
playing days and after his retirement. He has always been more
than willing to jump in to express his views on controversial
subjects.
But earlier this week he was just being a proud father when
he announced on his Twitter account his daughter was going
to college and would also be playing softball for the university team. This should have been a moment of rejoicing for the
Schilling family.
And it was right up to the point a few minutes later when
the Internet trolls came out to play.
For those of you who dont participate in online social media, a troll in this case means a person who intentionally
attempts to start arguments or upset people by posting outrageous, often inflammatory remarks while eliciting emotional,
off-topic remarks. In days gone by, these people would have
been labeled pot stirrers. However, 50 years ago the only people who heard a pot stirrers comments were the listeners within voice range. Today, trolls can reach millions of people in the
matter of minutes.
Some trolls jumped onto Schillings congratulatory tweet
about his daughter and instantly passed all levels of decency
and decorum. Their comments mentioned forced sex and what
they would do to his daughter if they went to the same college.
They compared her physical attributes to unflattering objects.
We are being somewhat vague because there is almost nothing
they said that we could print with good conscience in this editorial space.
Their actions were disgusting.
Unfortunately, these sorts of attacks happen every day, usually online because the Internet allows trolls a certain amount
of anonymity. But not this time.
As the website Deadspin.com noted, Schilling went into allout, full-on Dadmode. He took screenshots of the most vile
comments and within an hour had managed to find out who
owned the accounts. One troll was a DJ and student at Brookdale Community College. Another was a graduate of Montclair
State University and a part-time ticket seller for the New York
Yankees. Schilling outed the two losers on the same social media pages where they had been spewing their filth. He has also
said he was not done and will continue to hunt down others
who also left inappropriate messages about his daughter and
post their names as well.
The immediate good news is the student at Brookdale has
been suspended by the school (wouldnt you like to explain that
one to mom and dad when you went home) and the Yankees
fired the other loser, saying the organization has zero tolerance for anything like this.
We applaud Schilling for his actions for two reasons. First,
he did not resort to violence and instead turned the tables on
the trolls, using the same tools to bring them down they had
used to attack and belittle others. Second, we hope seeing these
two idiots pay high penalties causes other trolls who think this
is a fun way to spend their time to change their ways. We are
sorry it took so long for these types of punishments to happen
but the situation unfortunately needed a high profile case involving a national figure like Schilling before millions of people would wake up to the pervasive problem of bullying taking
place in our country today.
We encourage anyone who feels they are being bullied, in
person or online, to talk to a teacher, parent, pastor, friend anyone who can help you to deal with the situation. For parents
or guardians who do not know how to react when they learn of
bullying, a good place to start is this website - http://www.stopbullying.gov/ - which is run by the U.S. Department of Health
& Human Services.
In the meantime, we hope Gabby Schilling has a terrific
softball career and a fulfilling college experience.
To Curt, parent to parent, we say thank you.

I saw that coming

Predicting the future
has never been my strong
suit. But I, like most everyone, is more than happy to
ridicule those who try and
get it wrong. The experts
who tell us what will happen in the ball game before
the game actually starts, the
people who warn you against
oncoming storms, oncoming
financial disturbances, or oncoming mechanical failure
(That car wont make it to
town on those tires.). There
is a separate category for
weather forecasters, although
there are enough satellites in
orbit, they dont fail so often
anymore.
But 20 years ago, a man
named Clifford Stoll wrote
an article that appeared in
Newsweek magazine. It was
actually a small preview of a
larger book. The main point
the guy was making was that
the new technology that was
at that time (1995) becoming
more and more common, the
Internet, was just a fad. He
called the book, Snake Oil:

Second Thoughts on the Information
Superhighway.
Stolls argument was that all
these predictions about the
world wide web were all a
bunch of nonsense; just snake
oil being sold as a cure for
anything by a bunch of con
men.
For instance, in the book,
Small argued there wouldnt
be any privacy issues because
it was too hard to track people, electronic books would
be a miserable failure, video-on-demand would never
happen, web surfing from one
webpage to another would be
too confusing for most people, and email would never
be simpler than faxing or
using snail mail (well, thats
not what he called it, he talked about how easy it is to
scribble a note and put it in
an envelope, seal it and lick
a stamp to put on it for delivery.)
My favorite quote really
causes chuckles these days.
Stoll wrote, Nor do I think

that my telephone will merge
with my computer, to become
some sort of information appliance. Talk about wrong!
Thats like playing the lottery because you think you
can guess the mega-millions
numbers!
Hang on, Im laughing
too hard. Let me pull out my
phone and check the weather forecast and get myself
together Alright, you get
my point. Stoll was so far
off base, he could sit in the
dugout! People told him the
Internet would make him delicious gourmet meals, and
he was content to munch on
a crust of moldy bread dipped
in water. He couldnt predict
the future quite as well as he
thought.
To be fair, Stoll did make
some legitimate points. He
predicted if anyone could
put up a web page and begin
posting information, it would
be nearly impossible to determine the truth from some-
My

Ed Gebert
ones twisted version of the
facts. On that point, Ill give
Mr. Stoll full credit. You see,
the Internet has ka-jillions
of pages with information as
real as most Hollywood bustlines.
Half the stories or information your friends on
Facebook share with you
are highly suspect. Someone
with deeply-held beliefs of
any kind could have a dozen links to stories proving
the sky is chartreuse. Yes,
the Obama-lovers have as
many slanted articles as the
Obama-haters. And people
try to keep their fingers in
their ears and their hands
over their eyes and pretend
that theyre never wrong and
the Internet backs them up.

Some things to celebrate

This column is purely for
my entertainment and if I
take you along, great!
There are many holidays
we celebrate, some amongst
ourselves, some with our fellow Ohioans and others with
the nation or world. I came
across a post about days
to celebrate in March and
March 3, this past Tuesday,
was If Pets Had Thumbs Day.
It was also co-worker
Stephs birthday. Coincidentally, she has two cats that
are polydactyl they have
six toes on each of their
front paws. Also notable is
that somewhere in Old Town
Key West, Florida, the Ernest
Hemingway Home and Museum is guarded by a pack
of 40-50 polydactyl felines.
Hemingway was gifted a sixtoed cat by a sea captain and
some prowling the grounds
are descendants of said cat.
One thing that sets us

apart from many other species is an opposable thumb. It
allows us to do many things
that other creatures cant do.
I would have to take off my
shoes and socks to count the
number of times my husband
and I have had this conversation. Really! We talk to, for,
and about our dog a lot. Were
sappy pet owners, what can I
say? My child is grown, gone
and self-sufficient so we are
left with our fur baby. Get
over it and move on. Its what
we do. Its how we amuse
ourselves.
I often talk to Ringo and
ask why he didnt do the dishes or some other chore while
I was away. His answer is always the same, I dont have
thumbs!
I can imagine the possibilities of Ringo and his
opposable thumbs. I would
come home to a freshly vacuumed home each day with the

dishes taken care of, laundry
done, folded and put away
and something that smells
yummy cooking on the stove
or in the oven.
Well, probably not. Even
if my fur guy did have opposable thumbs, I doubt that
in itself would be enough for
all those things to be accomplished. And besides, lets
not forget his Beagle lineage.
They are notorious for enjoying long naps and hed have
to take a break from barking
and everything and nothing
to get his chores done. Not
going to happen.

Debt vs. Deficit
The words debt and
deficit are commonly used
as synonymous terms for our
nations current amount of
money borrowed. In reality,
this is false, because one is
getting bigger while the other
is currently getting smaller.
This can be greatly misleading to those who do not understand the difference, resulting in misconceptions of
our governments budgeting
ability.
The national deficit is a
fiscal shortfall for one year,
while the national debt is the
cumulative total of all past
deficits. When the national
debt is discussed, you can ex-

pect to hear one trend: its going up. It was shocking then
when a year ago, the Senates
second-ranking Democrat,
Dick Durbin, professed that
the national debt is in route to
be reduced by $3 trillion over
the next ten years. Durbins
evidence relied on the fact
that Pres. Obamas administration had reached the point
of cutting the annual deficits
in half.
The lowering of the national deficit is definitely a
positive, but will it truly lower the debt as Durbin stated?

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the answer
is a definite no. It is true that
the federal deficit has fallen
during the past few years,
but this still adds to the total
debt; quite different from an
annual surplus, which would
actually reduce the national
debt.
The CBO also goes
against what Durbin stated
by expecting the federal deficit to rise after 2018, further
increasing the national debt.
The projected deficit in 2025
is a whopping $1.1 trillion,
compared to $483 billion this
past year. It is obvious that
Durbin, and other politicians
alike, mean deficit when referring to the national debt.
Hopefully, we as Americans
can see past these accidental mix-ups and understand
the truth about our countrys
financial situation.

Helping neighborhoods heal and moving Ohio forward

The foreclosure crisis left
a trail of abandoned and deteriorating properties across
towns and communities in
our state. In 2012, Ohio was
among the 49 states that
reached a settlement with five
of the countrys largest mortgage servicers as a result of
the foreclosure abuses, fraud,
and intolerable mortgage servicing practices that caused
the crisis.
While most of Ohios
share of the national mortgage settlement was designated for consumer relief, cash
payments, and loan modification and refinancing, we were
determined to help those affected by the foreclosure crisis and to repair some of the
damage left in its aftermath.
We dedicated $75 million
more than any other state
By Ohio
Attorney
General

DeWine
to demolition grants for

distressed properties through
our Ohio Attorney Generals
Office Moving Ohio Forward
Program which we launched
in May of 2012.
By combining our money
with local matching funds,
we were able to direct over
$119 million to the demolition of more than 14,600
blighted housing units at an
average cost of $8,148.75 per
demolition.
The foreclosure crisis vic-
timized property owners who

did their best to take care of
and keep their homes in the
face of adjacent broken-down
structures depressing their
property values, breeding
crime, and discouraging economic recovery. Our program
made demolitions a priority
because clearing foreclosure-ravaged neighborhoods
of abandoned structures generally lifts property values
and sparks community rejuvenation.
The Ohio Attorney Generals Office Moving Ohio
Forward Program gave all
88 counties access to demolition dollars to tear down
vacant and abandoned properties. Every county was allocated grant money based
on the number of foreclosure
filings from 2008-2011, the

That statement was made
by Oceanographer Sylvia
Earle, 79, a marine biologist,
explorer and author. I believe
her observations reflect the
thoughts of many people
and should be heeded. Her
observation could be said
about so many current domestic and international situations.
Earle was the subject of
a 2014 interview in Time
magazine conducted by Bryan Walsh. There was also a
collection of quotes made by
Earle as she shares her extraordinary careerand what
she has learned.
She says 90 percent of
the biggest fish in the oceans
have been wiped out in her
lifetime. Less than five percent of the oceans have been
exploredand we dont know
what might be found that can

E!. This is just one facet of
their social media phenom-
enon that may bring them

$100 million per year.

shaking his head in amazement: Never have so few
done so little for so much for
so long.
********
Heres a case of misplaced
trust.
A few weeks ago Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen
announced that the IRS will
likely conduct fewer audits
this year. Does that mean the
IRS trusts the general public
to be honest and pay all of
the taxes due for 2014?
Well, not really. Koskinen
said the IRS has been given a
smaller budget. The tax agency has lost more than 2,200
revenue agents since 2010.
Their budget is now $1.3 billion less than it was in 2010.
Im not sure this move will
improve tax-paying compliance!
In 2013, tax refund identity thieves ripped off 1 million
taxpayers for $5.8 billion.
The IRS says they stopped
or recovered $24 billion in
refund thefts. Refund fraud
is also a state problem. Its
attracted global organized
crime syndicates.
The IRS said it audited 7.5
percent of households with
income exceeding $1 million
last year. It audited 0.86 percent of all individual tax returns. I think it would be safe
to say the opportunity to pulloff tax evasion and tax fraud
crimes has grown. Maybe
Congress feels enforcing the

tax collection laws is a losing
battle.

To me, the death of a
magazine is part of the life
cycle. How many TV programs have you seen that

Heres how one person described How much is a trillion.
A trillion is a million million. Its a one followed by 12

words, a trillion seconds ago,

and mastodons roamed Europe. (The 2016 federal government budget will be $4
trillion. The National Debt is
already over $18 trillion, and

A trillion inches is equal
to 15.8 million miles. That
means a trillion-inch journey will carry you 600 times

to send you to the moon and

our government has $80 trillion in unfunded obligations.

period covered by the settlement. To maximize its effectiveness, our program called
for counties to apply for the
funds, determine their demolition needs, develop a strategy for using the funds, and
match the grant dollars after
the first $500,000.
The visible impact in the
towns, on the streets, and
through the lives of those it
affected is perhaps the best
measure of the programs

Why March 9 matters to me, and

should matter to all Ohioans
For many Ohioans, the
approaching date of March
9 may be just another day on
the calendar. Im hopeful that
you will spend a moment here
to learn something new about
a day that is so important to
me.
March 9 will be our states
first Meningitis Awareness
Day. With the help of my fellow lawmakers in the General Assembly, we established
this day in honor of my niece
Tess, who died at age 5 of
meningitis. We also designated this day to benefit all
Ohioans so you can learn
how to prevent a similar tragedy in your own family.
When Governor Kasich
signed the bill for Meningitis
Awareness Day, he said, We
can do more, cant we? I am
on a mission to do just that.
For me, and many health advocates throughout the state,
March 9 will launch a serious effort to make sure more
Ohioans are protected against
the deadly, but preventable,
bacterial meningitis disease.
Other Ohioans have experienced the tragedy of bacte-
rial meningitis.
My brother-in-law, Paul
Whitson, from Findlay, was
Tesss dad and now speaks
out about this preventable
disease, urging people to
get the vaccine. His courage
helps inspire my passion for
this issue.
Cindy Krejny, of Cleveland, lost her college-age
daughter to meningitis in
1997. Erin was buried on
what would have been her
19th birthday, and her mother laments the lack of information that might have saved
her. She said her family didnt
learn about the vaccination
until it was too late. She says
no parent should have to lose
to child to a disease that can
potentially be prevented
through vaccination.
Dave
Emsweller
is
vice-president for student
affairs at the University of
Findlay. He vividly remembers being a dorm director
at Michigan State University
when two students died of
meningitis. He helped MSU
vaccinate 19,000 students that
year. The Hancock County
Department of Health is doing the same now for students

at the University of Findlay.
Meningitis survivor Jamie
Schanbaum urges everyone to
know meningitis symptoms
and act fast. When she contracted the disease, she said
she didnt know that when
she walked from her apartment to the car to go to the
hospital, it was the last time
she would use her legs. She
lost her legs and fingers to the
disease. Roughly 15 percent
of meningitis cases are fatal,
and 20 percent of survivors
have lasting effects, including
the loss of limbs.
Because I, and so many
other Ohioans, have seen the
terrible effects of bacterial
meningitis, I plan to follow
Governor Kasichs advice.
We are going to do more. I
have been in conversation
with medical professionals,
local health officials, and
vaccination specialists to find
the best way to proceed.
The result of those conversations is a bill that will add
bacterial meningitis to the
existing list of vaccinations
By State
Senator
Cliff Hite
that the Ohio Department
of Health regulates for our
schools. While we already
regulate vaccination for diseases like polio, measles, and
mumps, we do not have any
regulation regarding the meningitis vaccine. Because meningitis strikes so quickly, the
best way to save lives is better
prevention. Recent advances have made the meningitis
vaccine even more effective,
and I plan to urge my colleagues to support language
that would bring Ohio into
line with the 25 other states
that have meningitis on the
list of school vaccinations.
Moving forward, I will
continue to interact with as
many experts as possible to
be sure that any legislation
we pass on this issue follows
best practices and protects as
many children as possible.
If you have questions or
concerns about meningitis
legislation, please contact me

CIA director announces sweeping reorganization

WASHINGTON (AP) Director
John Brennan has ordered a sweeping
reorganization of the CIA, an overhaul
designed to make its leaders more accountable and close espionage gaps
amid widespread concerns about the spy
agencys limited insights into a series of
major global developments.
Brennan announced the restructuring
to the CIA workforce on Friday, including a new directorate devoted to boosting the CIAs computer hacking skills.
He said the move comes after nine outside experts spent three months analyzing the agencys management structure,
including what deputy CIA director Da-
vid Cohen called pain points, organizational areas where the CIAs bureaucracy does not work efficiently.
Briefing reporters with Cohen at CIA
headquarters this week, Brennan said
the changes are necessary to address intelligence gaps that the CIA is not covering. He lamented that there is often no
single person he can hold accountable
for the spying mission in any given part
of the world.
There are a lot of areas that I would
like to have better insight to, better information about, better access to, Brennan said. Safe havens, denied areas.
Whether because we dont even have a
diplomatic presence in a country, or because there are parts of countries that

have been overrun and taken over by terrorist groups and others.
The changes come against a backdrop
of evidence that the CIAs focus on hunting and killing terrorists since the Sept.
11 attacks has led to an erosion of the
espionage and analytic capabilities the
agency built during the Cold War. The
CIA, along with other U.S. intelligence
agencies, wrongly assessed the presence
of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
in 2002 and failed to anticipate the rapid collapse of Middle East governments
during the Arab Spring in 2011, among
other shortcomings.
with no heat, no hot water,

broken windows, and a badly
damaged roof was evidence
of an absentee owners chronic neglect. The property had
become a haven for squatters
and drug users and the police
and fire departments were
called there almost weekly.
When families on the street
learned that the structure was
slated for demolition, several members took off work to
celebrate!
In Hardin County, the police were called to a three-story structure for drug-related
activities so frequently it was
dubbed the Heroin Hotel.
The owners were so pleased
with the results of the demolition that they deeded the
land to the Village of Forest
for use as downtown green
space.
The mortgage foreclosure

crisis upended thousands of
lives and disrupted dozens
of Ohio towns and neighborhoods. While we were
not able to make all of them
whole again, the Ohio Attorney Generals Office Moving Ohio Forward Program
did help restore property
values, regenerate economic
development potential, and
ensure that citizens and families have a stable and safe
place to live.

Green is the color of love

This month (St. Patricks Day,
Just A
to be exact), Andy and I celet
hought
brate our eight-year anniversary.
Its crazy to me. It feels like we
got married yesterday. Weve hit
By
more than a few bumps in the
Sara
road but I wouldnt reverse and
Berelsman
avoid those bumps if I could go
back. Theyve brought our relationship to where it is now, and
now is where were meant to be.
When I was first introduced to Andy, he wasnt my type. I
was used to guys who were more high-maintenance, more
into working out and focusing on their looks. Not that this was
a good thing; it was just the type of relationship Id just gotten
out of.
It was apparent right away that Andy was different. I thought
he was adorable. He wasnt and isnt concerned with his appearance. He is a simple, laid-back, practical guy. I wasnt used
to that.
We couldnt be more opposite. Hes country; Id love to live
in New York City or Chicago. Hes a jeans and flannel guy; I
like to dress up. We can never agree on a movie to watch. Ever.
He keeps me grounded, though. Im spontaneous, while hes
level-headed and logical. Im impulsive and often living in my
own little world where logic has no place. We balance each
other. I think I make him let go a little and he reins me in when
Im getting too carried away.
I never thought Id end up with a man like this. Sometimes
I wonder how its worked for so long due to all our differences.
I think we complement each other. Id be bored, Im sure, with
someone who liked everything I like. Andy and I have fun. We
laugh a lot and make fun of each other. Its kind of our thing. I
cant picture myself with anyone else. I wouldnt want to.
Marriage is work. The hardest work Ive ever had to do. Every day. We argue. Weve yelled. Weve made each other cry.
But we always make up. I believe couples who dont ever fight
dont ever communicate. And communication is the key. Communicating honestly. Trust is the foundation of a good, healthy
relationship. Without that, you have nothing. So I dont hold
back. I dont expect him to read my mind; I tell him how I feel
and what I need. I try to accept that not everything will be the
ideal I sometimes picture in my head, not every conversation
will go the way the script in my head goes and disappointment
is going to happen. It just is. But its not the end of the world.
Weve worked through everything, and I think we can work
through anything.
I love my husband more than anything, more than the day
we got married. Its now a comfortable love but one on a deeper
level then when we first got together. It requires effort, effort to
keep the love alive, to avoid falling into a complacent, boring
place. Its worth the effort.
Im so glad I said yes to his proposal and so glad I walked
down the aisle that St. Patricks Day eight years ago. Im glad
we take the time to appreciate each other and we work on not
taking each other for granted. Its not easy.
So raise your glass of green beer this St. Patricks Day, and
wish us a happy anniversary if you see us. I wish the same happiness for you and hope that your love grows with each passing
day.

But overall, Stoll missed
the boat by a few hundred

Extraterrestrial Abductions Day is March 20. Keep one eye
on the sky and be ready to duck, dodge, and to hide.
March 22 is National Goof Off Day and March 23 is National Chip and Dip Day. Perhaps Ill celebrate these together with
some Tostitos and salsa.
March 24 is National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day. While
Im not a big fan of this snack, if no one minds, can I suck the
chocolate off the raisins and put them back? Any takers? No.
It was worth a try.
Perhaps the most notable day to celebrate in March is Make
Your Own Holiday Day. This allows us to make that day a special day for anything we want. We can skip all of the red tape,
bypass all of the effort, and create a special day of any kind.
Next to If Your Pet Had Thumbs Day, the holiday in March I
am looking forward to is Something On a Stick Day on March
28. Im not going to put anything on a stick, Im just going to
end each sentence with on a stick, an ode to Jeff Dunham
and his talking jalapeo on a stick.

St. Johns handcuffs Lincolnview in sectional final

BY JOHN PARENT
DHI Media Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
Alex Odenweller (23) of St. Johns drives to the hoop

as Lincolnviews Derek Youtsey (10) challenges the
shot during Friday nights Division IV sectional final in
Van Wert. Odenweller and the Blue Jays advanced to
the districts with a 53-32 win. (DHI Media/Tina Eley)
VAN WERT When the shots arent falling, it doesnt matter how well
your defense plays. The shots werent
falling for Lincolnview in its Division
IV sectional final against St. Johns on
Friday night in Van Wert and the Blue
Jays rolled to a 53-32 win.
St. Johns (17-6) advances to play
Leipsic in the Elida district on Tuesday
night.
Lincolnview (14-10) trailed 12-4 early and was down 20-10 at halftime.
Its frustrating for a player and a
coach because you want (the shots) to
go in so bad, Lincolnview head coach
Brett Hammons said following the
game. That was one of the worst shooting halves that weve had, but defensively, only giving up 20 points to that team,
I was extremely pleased.
Of course, the Blue Jay defense had
a lot to do with Lincolnviews struggles.
What an unbelievable effort on the
defensive end, St. Johns coach Aaron
Elwer noted of his teams performance.
Lincolnview is darn good; theyre solid, they beat us earlier, and they pose a
lot of challenges. We put on a defensive
clinic.
Justis Dowdy, Lincolnviews firstteam all-Northwest Conference performer, didnt crack the scoring column
until there was just over six minutes left
in the game. By that point, the Jays held
a 41-23 lead. Lincolnview would get as
close as 17 in the final period, which
became a free-throw shooting contest
as the game got more physical, but St.
Johns was never threatened.
Alot of it is about him: when you
look at box score, when he scores well,
they win, Elwer said of the Lancer senior. The first time we played them, we
didnt do a great job (against Dowdy),
but tonight we did, and that was the
key.
The Blue Jays shot 16-for-32 for the
game, mostly because of the drive-anddish offense orchestrated by senior point
guard Evan Hays. Hays routinely was
able to penetrate the paint and draw defenders before finding teammates Tim
Kreeger and Tyler Conley for uncontested layups.
We felt we could exploit some weaknesses, because they are so good ballside defensively. We thought Evan was
our x-factor, Coach Elwer said. Their
bigs are really aggressive in helping, so
for him to drive it and dump it down to
our bigs, we were really efficient and really effective.
Meanwhile, very few shots were uncontested for the Lancers, and the ones
that were rarely fell. Lincolnview was
only 4-for-18 (22 percent) in the first half
and wound up at just 31 percent for the
game.
Offensively, weve got to find a way
to put the ball in the basket, Hammons
noted. Thats going to be a huge emphasis this summer; we need to get better because weve got to be able to score
against good defenses like the one we
saw tonight.
Lincolnview says goodbye to senior
Dowdy, Tyler Wannemacher, James
Smith, Tyler Brant and Troy Thompson.
This is the toughest locker room
to walk into as a coach and as a player, when you lose your last game,
Hammons added. I told those five
seniors that theyve done a lot for
our program. This is the first winning season that Lincolnviews had
in 10 years. Thats a credit to them
and the effort theyve put in. Saying
goodbye to those guys is extremely
hard.
Im lucky, as a coach, to be able to
work with those guys.

Wayne Trace rolls to districts

BY KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Media Business Manager
kwannemacher@timesbulletin.com
PAULDING It wasnt the prettiest of victories for the Wayne Trace
boys basketball team, but the Raiders cruised to a 69-34 win over North
Central in the Division IV sectional
tournament at Paulding High School
on Friday night.
Wayne Trace took advantage of 33
Eagle turnovers in the contest to improve to 21-1 on the season and post
the schools 20th sectional championship.
Wayne Trace now faces an improved Antwerp squad on Tuesday in
the district semifinals. The Archers,
now 11-14 on the season, claimed their
tenth sectional championship with a
65-54 win over Stryker at Paulding.
The Raiders and Archers will
square off at approximately 8:00 p.m.
following the first semifinal between
Edgerton (18-5) and Hicksville (18-6)
to complete the all-Green Meadows
Conference district.
The Raiders scored the final nine
points of the first quarter to open a
20-6 advantage. Wayne Trace outrebounded the Eagles 13-5 in the period
and forced eight Eagle turnovers to
grab control.
Our pressure was effective tonight, commented Raider head coach
Jim Linder. It wasnt our best game
of the season but we played well in
stretches. We have to be better on
Tuesday against an Antwerp team
that is playing well right now.
Following a 3-pointer by North
Centrals Josh Sawyer to open the
second quarter scoring, Wayne Trace
picked up the next six points to extend
the lead to 26-9. The Raiders went on
to post a 36-16 advantage at the inter-

Eagles stymie Cougars in sectional final

BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
Van Wert junior Colin Smith (10) muscles through a LibertyBenton defender during Friday nights sectional final game in
Findlay. The Eagles wore down the Cougars in a 61-36 win.
(DHI Media/Jan Dunlap)
FINDLAY The big question

on the minds of Cougar fans going
into Friday nights Division III sectional final was Is Liberty Benton
as good as its 17-5 record would indicate? Question answered: Yes.
The aggressive Eagle defense
allowed few good shots in a 61-36
win that advances them to next
Thursdays Ohio Northern district
semifinal against St. Henry. The
Redskins pounded Elmwood 82-39
in Wednesdays opener. Van Werts
season ends at 7-16.
The final margin wasnt indicative of the competitiveness of the
game. Van Wert still had a fighting
chance after three quarters, trailing
36-25, but the Eagles started the
fourth period with a 6-0 run to remove all doubt. With the Cougars
forced to foul, L-B canned 13 of 17
fourth-quarter free throws to widen
the gap considerably.
The Eagles started the game
with an 11-0 run, and after that it
was all uphill for the scarlet-andgray. Van Wert answered that run
with five straight points corner
3-pointer by Colin Smith and a free
throw apiece by Connor Holliday
and Jacoby Kelly to get within
11-5 at 1:42. The Eagles 6-3 senior,
Jon Dager, swished a corner triple,
but Brant Henry trumped that with
a three from straightaway. A Liberty-Benton free throw made it 15-8
after one.
Van Wert clawed its way back
early in the second period, which
started with a Nick Keber floater
and a Smith put-back, sandwiched
around an Eagle free throw and it
was 16-12, L-B, at 7:04. It would
never be that close again, however. Dager muscled in a layup, then
turned a Cougar turnover Van
Werts only one of the first half
into two free throws; that made it
20-12 with 5:25 left. Holliday went
to his forte, burrowing inside and
drawing fouls; however, uncharacteristically, he cashed in only 4 of
9 from the line, and the Eagles led
25-15 at the break.
Van Wert hit only 4 of 19 field
goal tries (21 percent) during

the first 16 minutes while Liberty-Benton was canning 9 of 22
(41 percent). The Eagles were
also dominating the boards, 1810. Those stats wouldnt get much
better for the Cougs in the second
half.
The third quarter was the only
one during which Van Wert hit
more than two field goals; the Cougars made four out of 11 during
those eight minutes. Their pesky
defense turned the Eagles over six
times. Still, the lead stayed between
10 and 14 for the entire quarter because L-B made four of its six shots
from the field.
For the game as a whole, Liberty
Benton out-shot Van Wert by a wide
margin from the field, 50 percent
(19 of 38) to 26 percent (10 of 38).
The Eagles were also better from
the line, 70 percent (21 of 30) to 63
percent (12 of 19), and they won the
boards 31-16. Van Wert had one less
turnover, 8-9.

Vikings knock Crestview from tournament

BY JOHN PARENT
Crestview sophomore Spencer Rolsten drives into

a pair of Leipsic defenders during Friday nights
Division IV sectional final at Van Wert. The Vikings
rallied from a 14-point first-half deficit to win 48-47.
(DHI Media/Tina Eley)
VAN WERT Midway through

the second quarter of Friday nights
Division IV boys sectional final
at Van Wert, Leipsic found itself
trailing Crestview 22-8 with the
Knights threatening to run away
and hide.
Instead, the Vikings reeled off the
next 12 points to climb back into the
game, then surged ahead in the fourth
quarter and held on for a 48-47 victory.
Crestview, the defending state
champion, is eliminated with a final
record of 12-10 on the season. The
Knights dropped their last five games,
many of which came without injured
starters Preston Zaleski and Cody
Mefferd.
Leipsic (13-11) advances to Tuesdays Elida district semifinals, where
they will take on Delphos St. Johns.
This win is great for our program, Leipsic head coach Scott Maag
said following the game. Alot of these
guys had to play as sophomores (last
year) and they didnt really know how
to win. In the last two weeks, weve
really come together and figured out
how to win.
The Vikings led 46-41 with under two minutes left in the game,
but missed the front-end of a pair of
one-and- one opportunities, allowing Crestview to hang around. The
Knights had the ball down one with
13.5 seconds left, but a shot by Connor Lautzenheiser through a pair of
Leipsic defenders missed the mark.

Lautzenheiser faced a relentless
defensive effort from the Vikings.
Leipsic guard Nate Brecht drew
the one-on-one assignment, but
double and even triple teams were
the norm whenever Lautzenheiser
got the ball. Still, the first-team
all-Northwest Conference performer scored 15 first-half points
and had 21 through three quarters.
At that point, the score was tied
37-37.
Brecht made an impact on the offensive end for Leipsic as well, scoring
on a steal-turned-layup and following
that with a 3-pointer from the corner to
pull the Vikings even in the third. Hed
finish with 14 points before eventually
fouling out late in the game.
Hes our defensive stopper,
Maag said of Brecht. He accepted
the challenge, he wanted it. I think
he did a great job. (Lautzenheiser)
still had 25, but that kid is pretty gosh
darn good.
Leipsic, which features a roster
of three players standing 6-foot-4 or
taller, dominated the glass after the
opening period, especially on the
offensive end. Those extra opportunities resulted in a 22-8 advantage in
the paint.
We knew we had to get the ball inside, Maag explained. We wanted to
hurt them inside, and I think we did.
For Crestview head coach Jeremy Best, he couldnt ask for much
more than he got from his depleted
squad.
As a coach, I think thats all
you can ask for; youve got to have
the effort, but at this level you also

have to execute and have purpose,
and I thought we did everything
that we needed to do tonight. I
dont think we would change a single thing, Best said. I thought our
guys played with poise and confidence.
Along with Zaleski, the Knights
bid farewell to seniors Nate Owens,
Mitchell Rickard and Jake Lippi.
I tip my cap to our seniors, those
guys have been in our program for
three and four years and theyve had
a lot of success in our program, and
theyre quality kids, Best added.
Those guys will be just fine down the
road.

Hawks pull away in 4th to beat Cavs Miller City, Grove

Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) Al
Horford scored 19 points
and Kyle Korver hit two big
3-pointers in the fourth quarter after struggling much of
the night, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 106-97 victory
over the Cleveland Cavaliers
on Friday night in a game
could be a preview of whats
to come in the playoffs.
LeBron James and the
Cavaliers entered the season
as the overwhelming favorite
in the Eastern Conference,
but the Hawks (49-12) are
running away in the standings. They won their sixth in
a row and for the 42nd time in
the last 48 games.
Clearly inspired on night
when Hall of Famer and former Hawks star Dominique
Wilkins was honored by the
team, Atlanta got plenty of
balance and showed again
it might be capable of doing
something that never happened during No. 21s brilliant
career win a championship.
James was held to 18
points on 5-of-13 shooting.
After building a 17-point
lead with a blistering perfor-

prompting Korver to let out a

big scream on his way back
down the court.
Atlanta was in control the
rest of the way. The Hawks
had six players in double figures, with Jeff Teague and
Paul Millsap both scoring 16.
James was guarded tightly
by Hawks defensive stopper
DeMarre Carroll, with plenty
of help from his teammates,
and looked a bit out of sorts.
The King spent much of the
night trying to create for others, finishing with eight assists. But he also committed
nine turnovers, most notably
throwing a pass to no one in
the corner late in the first half.
Clearly frustrated, James
also picked up a technical in
the third quarter for arguing
about a foul call on Horford.
In what some billed as a
possible preview of the Eastern finals, both teams played
with postseason-like intensity.
Horford
jawed
with
Timofey Mozgov after one
skirmish, before his teammates jumped in to pull the
Hawks center away. Carroll

sent James tumbling to the
court with a hard foul midway through the fourth.
The Hawks, who have
been plagued by slow starts,
started out in this one as
though they were going to
blow the Cavaliers out of the
building. They made 17 of 24
shots in the opening quarter.
But the Cavaliers controlled play through much of
the second and third periods,
finally grabbing their first
lead, 66-65, on Mozgovs two
free throws.
There was plenty of excitement off the court, as
well. The Hawks unveiled
a statue of Wilkins outside
Philips Arena, wore throwback jerseys from the Dominique era, and honored No.
21 at halftime with a painting and a framed jersey autographed by all the current
Hawks players.
Even though Im not
from Atlanta, Im from Atlanta, Wilkins said at center court, holding back tears.
We do play basketball in
this city. You keep rooting for
our team.
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: Coach David
Blatt is hoping that F Shawn
Marion (left hip strain) will
return to the court during an
upcoming road trip. But first,
the team will have to see how
he responds to on-court activity, which he hasnt been
able to do yet. Blatt was
called for a technical in the
second quarter. Cleveland
was outrebounded 38-37.
Hawks: Carroll always
wants to be on the other
teams best player, according
to coach Mike Budenholzer.
I think its understood, the
coach said, chuckling. One
of the things that makes him
great is he brings it every
night. So he gets the best player every night. Its a big part
of our defensive identity.

It was a bittersweet accomplishment, however, because his Wildcats fell 62-53 to Coldwater to finish the season 12-11.
Coldwater advances to take on Lima Central Catholic, a 94-39 blow-out victor over Mt.
Blanchard Riverdale in the opener, at 6:15
p.m. Thursday at the Ohio Northern University district.
Smith finished with 10 points but sophomore Jace Stockwell was the Wildcats top
scorer with 22 and junior Dalton Hicks had 13.
The Wildcats couldnt contend with 6-8
junior Andy Brunet, who finished with 16
points, while getting help from Dylan Thobes
14, Derek Thobes 12 and 11 from Aaron Harlamert.
We had no answer for 6-8 but then, not
many teams do. We were worried about him at
both ends, Jefferson coach Marc Smith noted. We were also worried about their length
on the press we have small guards and
our focus was to try and beat them down the
court before they could really trap. We were
too tentative there and when attacking the basket the first half. We did battle them on the
glass, which was our third big focus.
The fifth-seeded Wildcats who got a
bye into the final had a better start than the
sixth-seeded Cavaliers. Coldwater employed
a base man-to-man outside of a face-guarder
on Smith, rotating several bodies on him, and
held him scoreless the first half.
In the first period, though, Stockwell,
Hicksand sophomore Drew Reiss picked up
the slack. As well, the Wildcats owned the
glass 12-3 and held Brunet to a basket. When
Stockwell drove for the layup and foul at 44
seconds left, they led 14-9. Brunets basket
then got the Cavs within 14-11 at the end of
one quarter.
A triple by Dylan Thobe to open the second quarter tied the game and a transition look
by Derek Thobe on the next possession gave
Coldwater a lead for good. Their defense
also using a 2-3 zone mixed in held Delphos scoreless the first 4:20 of the period in
building a 22-14 edge.
Hicks hit a short jumper at 3:40 to get Jefferson on the board and Stockwell added a
basket and a 3-pointer around a deuce from
Harlamert to get as close as 24-21 with
1:48 on the clock. However, Malave Betringer hit a tough off-balance putback at 1:18 and
Brunet scored on a move inside to put Coldwater up 28-21.
Coldwater kept that late trend going into
the third period, knocking down its first four
shots including two treys by Dylan Thobe
to build a 38-23 edge. Slowly, the Wildcats
rallied, with Smith hitting a drive at 1:51 to tie
Loosers mark, and when Reiss hit the first-oftwo free throws they were within 44-35 after
three.
However, that was the Wildcats last run
as they got no nearer in the fourth. Coldwater scored the first five points to get a 14-point
lead and never let it get below the final margin
of nine.
Smith did break Loosers mark on a pair of

free throws at 5:59 and his 8-point quarter put
his career mark at 1,448 going into his senior
season.
We have not faced a base defense since
Christmas; its either been triangle-and-2 or
box-and-1 and we were looking forward to a
more conventional defense, Coach Smith
added. We struggled with Trey struggling;
we know hes our leader. We did feel the pressure of knowing others needed to pick up the
slack and shots got harder to make. At the
same time, Jace played well, Dalton played
well, we battled til the end. We have our top
eight back for next year and people dont realize the work ethic these kids have.
In the opener, the Thunderbirds showed
too much depth, athleticism and firepower for
the Falcons to handle.
LCC was led by the 1-2 punch of Josh Dixon (21 points, 4 assists) and 6-4 Dantez Walton (19 points, 9 rebounds) and 14 from Cameron White. Meanwhile, Riverdale was held to
just 29 percent shooting in the lopsided loss.

Ventura shaky as Royals

rally for win over Indians
By daVe sKretta
Associated Press
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) Yordano
Ventura stepped to the mound for the Kansas
City Royals for the first time since Game 6 of
the World Series. The results were nothing
like they were last October.
Ventura was battered for four runs in his
spring training debut Friday before the Kansas City Royals rallied for a sloppy,
time-consuming 11-9 victory over
the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians had built a 5-2 lead
by the fifth when they started getting careless on defense. Kansas
City capitalized by scoring eight
runs in the inning, the go-ahead
blow a three-run shot by outfield
prospect Brett Eibner off Cleveland
reliever Bryan Shaw.
Alex Rios went 3 for 4 with his second
homer of the spring, and Ryan Roberts also
drove in three runs for the Royals. Roberto
Perez finished with three RBIs for Cleveland.
The hard-throwing Ventura, who went 1410 with a 3.20 ERA last season, was downright dominant against San Francisco in the
Fall Classic. After pitching his club to a win in
Game 2, he returned to throw seven innings of
three-hit ball and help force a deciding Game
7.
There was a little less riding on the outcome Friday as Ventura headed out of the
dugout with palm trees swaying in the warm,

stiff breeze. Ventura walked Indians leadoff
man Jason Bourne and gave up two-run singles to Ryan Raburn and Perez before finally
escaping the inning.
Pitchers are getting their rhythm, the timing of their delivery, Royals manager Ned
Yost said. He was a little strong, maybe overthrew a bit his first time out, but he had good
stuff.
Ventura didnt sound too worried about his performance, either.
Feel great, he said with a
smile. Threw the ball fine.
Indians counterpart Danny
Salazar, in a heated competition for
their final rotation spot, allowed
a pair of runs on three hits and a
walk. But he also struck out four in
his two innings of work, looking fit
and strong after arriving in training camp on Jan. 11.
Feels really good to be outside for the
first time, Salazar said. Spring training for
a while, you just want to face some batters.
T.J. House and Josh Tomlin are Salazars
primary competition for the fifth rotation spot,
although Bruce Chen and Shaun Marcum are
also in the running. Marcum followed Salazar
to the mound against Kansas City and gave up
two hits in two scoreless innings.
In the season, you can probably nitpick, but
in spring training for a first outing, I thought
the ball came out of Salazars hand really well,
Indians manager Terry Francona said.
raiders
(From page 9)
The second half saw the
Raiders continue to widen the
lead, opening it up to 57-28 at
the end of three quarters.
Six players scored for
Wayne Trace in the third
quarter, led by Corbin Linder
with eight points. Jake Arend
(six), Ethan Linder (three),
Cole Shepherd (two), Luke
Miller (one) and Alec Vest
(one) also found the scoring
column.
Miller then opened the final period with back-to-back
3-pointers as the Raiders
cruised the rest of the way to
the victory.
Ethan
Linder
paced
Wayne Trace with 15 points
while Miller and Corbin
Linder added a dozen points
each.
Cole Shepherd had another big game for the Raiders,
chipping in six points while
grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds.
Corbin Linder also broke
the schools career record
for steals in Fridays victory. The senior guard picked
up five steals to move to 162
for his career, eclipsing the
old record of 160 previously
held by both Jake Sinn (19992002) and Colby Speice
(2011-2014).
Steven Williams paced
the Eagles with 10 points
with Josh Sawyer adding six.
North Central closed its season at 3-21 on the season.
PAULDING COUNTY
NOTES: With Antwerp,
Paulding and Wayne Trace
all posting sectional championships on Friday, it is the
first time that all three have
claimed a sectional crown
in the same season. Paulding defeated Liberty Center
55-51 to win the Division III
sectional at Wauseon High
School, the Panthers tenth
such title in school history.

School year drags on for girl separated from boy she likes
DEAR ABBY: Im a
12-year-old girl and I like
a boy named Chris. We
go to different schools now,
and I dont know how to get
in touch with him to tell him
how I feel. At times for the
past two years we have been
flirting on and off. We will
be reunited again next year.
I cant hold on much longer,
and hes at a school with
his ex. What should I do?
LOVER GIRL IN ALABAMA
DEAR LOVER GIRL:
You have held on this long, so
remember the school year is
already more than half over.
In the fall, you and Chris will
be attending the same school
again without your having to
do anything. For now, be patient. Stay active and involved
with school, and time will
pass more quickly. Focus on
activities you enjoy and your
Dear
abby

Jeanne
Phillips
friendships.
Do not waste your time
worrying about the other girl.
She and Chris are exes for a
reason. If you and Chris are
meant to be, the chances of
that happening will be better
when youre classmates.

DEAR ABBY: A friend
from high school has invited me to her wedding in
September.
Unfortunately,
I wont be able to attend the
bachelorette party I was also
invited to. Even though I sent
my regrets to the organizer of
the party, she has tried to solicit gifts from me twice. This
seems extremely tacky, and it
has made me feel I was invited only for the gifts I could
bring. Abby, I dont want this
to reflect poorly on my friend.
Should I tell someone in the
wedding party so they can fix
this faux pas, or am I wrong
about wedding etiquette?
PERPLEXED IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR
PERPLEXED:
Youre not wrong. That the
party organizer is trying to
extort gifts from you is extremely rude. The person to
inform is the mother of the
bride. She should be able to
put a stop to it before anyone
else is embarrassed.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: What if
someone wants to move away
from one parent but not the
other? Im 25 and interview-
ing for jobs. It would be nice

to become independent, but
for the right reasons. I am
tired of my fathers selfish,
ignorant attitude, but I would
miss seeing my mother. As
she gets older, she seems
to accommodate my dads
all-for-himself attitude even
more.
If I take a job thats out of
state, I dont want to feel like
Im running away. How
should I approach leaving
the one family member I care
about? MOVING FORWARD IN MASSACHUSETTS
DEAR MOVING: Continue interviewing for jobs
for which you are qualified,
regardless of where they are
located. If more than one
company wants to hire you,
select the one that offers the
best wages and benefits and
seems to be the best fit for
you. If the company is located in your city, you may not

have to leave your mother
and you may be able to limit
the time you must spend with
your father. Should you get an
enticing offer that bases you
in another location, to accept
it would not be running away;
it would be making an intelligent career choice. Your
mom might be able to visit
you sans Dad periodically if
the expense isnt prohibitive,
and you would be establishing your independence for the
right reason.

Hints
from
Heloise
The great
indoors?
Dear Heloise: I am hoping you can assist me with a
question about my cat, Patches. She is an indoor/outdoor
cat, and we are moving to a
new home to take care of inlaws. I would prefer her to be
strictly indoors, so that she
would always be safe. She is
13 years old.
Can I train her to stay inside and become an indoor
cat? My vet said to just do it,
and eventually she will quit
crying when she learns Im
not going to let her out.
Can you give me any
pointers on how to make this
easier for both Patches and
me? Cheryl in San Antonio
Meow to Patches and
Hi to you! Moving for any
pet (or human) can be upsetting and a stressful change.
As far as her wanting to be
outside, of course she wants
to! She has been doing so,
and now she cant! Youre a
loving and responsible owner,
knowing it could be dangerous for her outside. She may
not come back.
Do set up some distractions for her: a scratching
post and new toys. An ele-
Karen in Bingham, Maine, sent a picture of her adorable mini schnauzer, Maggie. Maggie has stretched herself out between the easy
chair and the ottoman. (Photo submitted)
vated, carpet-lined perch by
a window will let Patches
look outside and keep watch
about what is going on. I once
saw a large motor home with
a pop-out cat window. The
owners had attached a large
wire cage, with carpet on the
bottom, to the window. The
cat went through the window
outside to sit and watch the
world go by, but was safe!
You could try something like
that for Patches.

She may try to sneak out
when a door is open, so do
be sure that everyone in the
house keeps an eye on her.
Maybe distract her when you
leave. She will fuss and make
noise, but you must stay the
course. Indoor cats generally
are healthier and live longer,
so she most likely will have
more happy years with you.
While on this subject, please
do be sure that your cat is microchipped. Anyone moving

with pets should get new tags
and update contact information. Heloise

CHEAP EATS
Dear Heloise: My wife
and I eat breakfast or lunch
out several times a week. We
meet up with friends, have
a nice meal, and theres no
cooking or cleaning up. Alice
is the cook and Im the bottle
washer, so its the kitchen is
closed time off.

Heres how we save a bundle of money: Drink water
rather than iced tea or coffee. A cup of coffee can run
$2.50, and iced tea the same.
We each order a salad and an
appetizer sometimes, and not
expensive entrees. It adds up.

Obama says
Ferguson report
exposed racially
biased system
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)
Ferguson Police Chief Tom
Jackson was still on the job
Friday, two days after a government report blasted his
beleaguered department for
years of racial profiling, and
the mayor refused to speculate about the chiefs future,
saying his role was not to just
chop heads.
Meanwhile, three Ferguson
employees implicated in racist
emails exposed by that report
are now gone from their jobs,
the mayor said. One was identified as a city court clerk.
Calls for Jacksons removal
were renewed again this week
after the Justice Department
cleared Darren Wilson, the
white former Ferguson officer
who shot Michael Brown, of
federal civil rights charges in
the death of the 18-year-old,
who was black and unarmed.
A second report released
simultaneously found patterns
of racial profiling, bigotry and
profit-driven law enforcement
and court practices in the St.
Louis suburb that has come to
represent the tension between
minorities and American police nationwide.
Attorney General Eric
Holder told reporters Friday
that the federal government
will use all the power that we
have to change the situation
in Ferguson, including possibly dismantling the police
force.
If thats whats necessary,
were prepared to do that,
Holder said while accompanying President Barack Obama
on a trip to South Carolina.
Asked about Jackson in
an interview with The Associated Press, Mayor James
Knowles III said only, Hes
still the chief.
Knowles said city leaders
are evaluating the Justice Department report line by line
before deciding on reforms.
Extremists
damage
Iraqi site
BAGHDAD (AP) Islamic State extremists trucked
away statues as they damaged
the irreplaceable remains of
an ancient Assyrian capital,
a local resident and a top UN
official told The Associated
Press Friday.
Nimrud,
a
nearly
3,000-year-old city in present-day Iraq, included monumental statues of winged
bulls, bearded horsemen and
other winged figures, all symbols of an ancient Mesopotamian empire in the cradle of
Western civilization.
The discovery that extremists removed some statues before using heavy equipment
to destroy much of the site
Thursday was cold comfort
as outrage spread over the extremists latest effort to erase
history.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
considers the destruction a
war crime, his spokesman said
in a statement.
Iraqs most revered Shiite
cleric, the Grand Ayatollah
Ali al-Sistani, said in his Friday sermon that the extremists
are savaging Iraq, not only in
the present but also to its history and ancient civilizations.
Im shocked and speechless, said Zeid Abdullah,
who lives in nearby Mosul and
studied at the citys Fine Arts
Institute until the extremists
shut that down. Only people
with a criminal and barbaric
mind can act this way and destroy an art masterpiece that is
thousands of years old.
A farmer from a nearby
village told the AP Friday that
militants began carrying tablets and artifacts away from
the site two days before the
attack, which began Thursday
afternoon. The militants told
the villagers that the artifacts
are idols forbidden by Islam
and must be destroyed, the
farmer said, speaking anonymously for fear of reprisals.

STORY OF THE DAY
Sen. Menendez
may be charged
with corruption
By DAVID PORTER AnD ERIC TUCKER
Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, under
federal investigation for his relationship with a Florida doctor and political donor, defiantly said Friday he has always
been honest in office even as a person familiar with the matter said hes expected to face criminal charges soon.
Let me be very clear, I have always conducted myself
appropriately and in accordance with the law, Menendez, a
New Jersey Democrat, said at a press conference in his home
state. Every action that I and my office have taken for the
last 23 years that I have been privileged to be in the United
States Congress has been based on pursuing the best policies
for the people of New Jersey and this entire country.
The person who discussed the expected filing of charges
against Menendez in the coming weeks did so on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is pending. Attorney General Eric Holder declined to say whether he has
authorized criminal charges against the senator.
Menendez spoke in English and Spanish, chopping his
hand down for emphasis and declaring hes not going anywhere. He said he couldnt take questions because there is
an ongoing inquiry.
Menendez, who served for more than a decade in the
House of Representatives before joining the Senate in 2006,
is the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has been critical of negotiations between President Barack Obamas administration and Iran on its nuclear
program and outspoken in opposition to normalizing relations with Cuba.
He has been dogged by questions about his ties to Dr. Salomon Melgen, an ophthalmologist whose office was raided
by authorities two years ago.
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., speaks to reporters

during a news conference in Newark, N.J. on
Friday, March 6, 2015. A person familiar with a
federal investigation says the Justice Department
is expected to bring criminal charges against
the New Jersey Democrat in the coming weeks.
Menendez says that he has always behaved
appropriately in office. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)
The scrutiny has focused on trips Menendez took to the
Dominican Republic aboard Melgens private plane. He has
acknowledged taking several actions that could have appeared to benefit Melgen, including contacting a Medicare
agency to urge changes to a payment policy that had cost
Melgen millions of dollars.
Menendez said he has been friends with Melgen for two
decades.
We celebrated holidays together, he said. We have
been there for family weddings and sad times like funerals
and have given each other birthday, holiday and wedding
presents just as friends do.
The senators failure to reimburse Melgen for flights between the Dominican Republic and south Florida and New
Jersey on the eye doctors luxury jet was the first serious signal of his legal troubles in early 2013. Menendez and Melgen
had flown at least twice in 2010, but the trips had gone without reimbursement for more than two years.
ATLANTA (AP) Computer hackers stole a whopping

1 billion email addresses from
U.S. marketing companies in
what federal authorities Friday described as a massive
spam scheme.
Three people were indicted on federal charges in what
John Horn, the acting U.S. attorney based in Atlanta, called
one of the largest reported
data breaches in United States
history. He said they netted
$2 million in commissions
from millions of spam emails
that routed recipients to websites selling software and other products.
That means the defendants
would have averaged just a
fraction of a penny for each of
the stolen email addresses.
Still, authorities said the
case is significant because of
the scale of the information
stolen. Horn said hackers targeted marketing companies
that send bulk emails to customers of their commercial
clients. They gained access to
the firms computer systems
by sending emails with hidden malware to the marketing
companies employees.
The hackers not only stole
hundreds of millions of email
addresses, Horn said, but they
also succeeded in using the
marketing firms own systems
to send the hackers spam
messages.
States: Administration misled judge on immigration

HOUSTON (AP) A coalition of
states suing to stop President Barack
Obamas executive action on immigration alleges the government misled a judge about not implementing
part of the plan before the judge temporarily halted it.
The allegation comes after the Justice Department said in court documents this week that federal officials
had given 100,000 people three-year
reprieves from deportation and granted them work permits under a program that protects young immigrants
from deportation if they were brought
to the U.S. illegally as children.
Justice Department attorneys
had previously said federal officials
wouldnt accept requests under an
expansion of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program,
known as DACA, until Feb. 18.
The federal governments immigration actions regarding DACA as
well as a program that would extend
deportation protections to parents of
U.S. citizens and permanent residents
who have been in the country for some

years, were put on hold on Feb. 16 by
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in
Brownsville, Texas. Justice Department attorneys have asked Hanen to
lift his hold while they appeal the
ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans. Hanen has
not made a decision on that request.
Obamas action, first proposed in
November, could spare from deportation as many as 5 million people who
are in the U.S. illegally. Many Republicans strongly oppose his action and
26 states, most of them led by Republicans, sought to block the Obama orders as unconstitutional.
News that tens of thousands of
expanded work permits have already
been issued to illegal immigrants
while President Obamas executive
action, which we believe is illegal, is
being contested in the courts is both
outrageous and unacceptable, Texas
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a statement.
In court documents filed Tuesday,
the Justice Department said that between Nov. 24 and Feb. 16, federal
immigration officials granted the
three-year reprieves to 100,000 individuals who were already eligible
under the original 2012 guidelines of
DACA.
The Justice Department said the
federal government recognizes that
its identification of Feb. 18 as the date
when requests under the new and expanded eligibility would be accepted
may have led to confusion.
Justice Department attorneys said
they dont believe the preliminary
injunction requires federal officials
to take any steps to reverse the threeyear reprieves already granted.
In court documents filed Thursday, the states said they dont understand why the U.S. government
doesnt consider the approval of the
100,000 reprieves to have been done
under the new and expanded guidelines of DACA.
The 2012 DACA guidelines provided two-year deportation reprieves
and work permits. Obamas new immigration action would expand that to
three years.
This newly disclosed conduct is
difficult to square with (the federal
governments) prior representation
to the Court that nothing is going
to happen until weeks after a Jan.
15 court hearing on the preliminary
injunction request, the states said in
court documents.
The states, led by Texas, asked
Hanen to allow them to request additional information from the federal
government about how it approved
the DACA requests while the lawsuit
was going through the courts.
In his Feb. 16 decision on the injunction, Hanen wrote the federal
government had indicated that Feb.
18 would be the date it planned to accept requests under the expansion of
DACA. Hanen also wrote that while
his injunction did not affect the 2012
DACA program, it did put on hold its
expansions and additions proposed by
Obamas action.

Jobs recovery weaker than it seems

WASHINGTON (AP) Unemployment
in the U.S. has dropped to a seven-year low of
5.5 percent a level normally considered the
mark of a healthy job market. Yet that number
isnt as encouraging as it might sound.
While U.S. employers added a solid
295,000 jobs in February, and the jobless rate
fell from 5.7 percent, it went down mostly because many people gave up looking for work
and were no longer officially counted as unemployed, the government reported Friday.
Whats more, wage gains remained sluggish.
Those trends suggest that the job market,
while improving rapidly, isnt quite as healthy
as it looks.
That complicates the Federal Reserves
task of figuring out when the economy has
strengthened enough to withstand higher interest rates. The Fed is considering a rate increase as early as June.
With Fridays report, employers have now
produced 12 straight monthly job gains above
200,000. Its the longest such stretch since
1994-95.
The U.S. is easily outshining most other
major economies. For example, the unemployment rate in the 19 countries that share
the euro is 11.2 percent, or twice the U.S. rate.

The robust U.S. job gains appear to have
convinced many investors that the Fed will
soon raise the short-term interest rate it controls. Investors on Friday sold ultra-safe U.S.
Treasurys, a sign that many anticipate a rate
increase. The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to 2.24 percent from 2.11 percent.
And they dumped stocks. The Dow Jones
industrial average plummeted 276 points in
afternoon trading.
A 5.5 percent unemployment rate is typically consistent with what economists call
full employment when the proportion of
unemployed people has fallen so low that employers must raise pay to find enough qualified
workers.
Companies then raise prices to pay for the
higher wages. And the Fed usually follows
suit by raising its benchmark short-term rate
to cool growth and ward off inflation.
Since the recession ended in June 2009,
the percentage of adults working or looking
for work has fallen to a 37-year low of 62.8
percent.
It has hovered around the mark for most of
the past year.

Wal-Mart denies claims in

lawsuit over fatal store shooting
by anDreW WelSHHuggInS
AP Legal Affairs Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
Wal-Mart on Friday denied responsibility for the death of a man fatally
shot by police while carrying an air
rifle in one of its stores last year.
John Crawford III was shot in
August when police responded to
a 911 call reporting a man waving
what appeared to be a firearm at the
store in the Dayton suburb of Beavercreek. Police said the pellet rifle
appeared to be real, and a grand

jury concluded the shooting was
justified.
Crawfords relatives sued in federal court, contending that the officers were reckless, unreasonably
used excessive force, werent properly trained and caused a wrongful death and emotional distress,
among other allegations. They say
Crawford, 22, was shopping and
talking on a cellphone and did nothing wrong. Theyre seeking at least
$75,000 in compensation.

Crawford has said he didnt respond

to repeated commands to drop the
weapon and turned toward officers
in an aggressive manner.
Bentonville,
Arkansas-based
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. denied it did
anything to cause Crawfords death.
Wal-Mart also denied it engaged in

monitoring and surveillance of the
activities of customers.
LOS ANGELES (AP)

Dr. Sanjay Khurana was close
to finishing a golf game when
a vintage plane clipped a tree
and dropped like a rock
onto the next holes green. He
rushed to the crash, finding
a pilot bleeding from a deep
gash in his head.
When the surgeon got a
closer look, he was stunned
to see the pilot was Harrison
Ford, the actor he grew up
watching in the Star Wars
and Indiana Jones movie

franchises.
Im a child of the 80s,
Khurana said Friday. Im a
big fan.
One
of
Hollywoods
pre-eminent stars, who is
also an experienced pilot,
crash-landed his World War
II-era plane Thursday, but
he was conscious and able to
talk when witnesses pulled
him from the wreckage.
Soon after Ford took off
from Santa Monica Municipal Airport near Los Angeles, he radioed that the single engine of his 1942 Ryan
Aeronautical ST3KR stopped
working and he was going to
make an immediate return.
Ford, who received his
pilots license in the 1990s,
glided his plane onto a fairway near the airport in what
aviation experts characterized as a skillful landing given a total loss of power above
DrugS
a densely populated area.

Fords publicist, Ina Treciokas, said the actors injuries were not life-threatening, and he is expected to
make a full recovery. Fords
son Ben tweeted Thursday
from the hospital: Dad is ok.
Battered, but ok! He is every
bit the man you would think
he is. He is an incredibly
strong man.
No one on the ground was
hurt.

According to Van Wert County Sheriff Tom Riggenbach, no one was found in
the apartment at the time of the search.
The investigation of the reported activity at the apartment is continuing and
charges could be filed in the future.
Riggenbach also noted that a nuisance
abatement letter will be sent to the property owner to notify him or her of the
alleged illegal activity that happened on
the property. Riggenbach said the letter
directs property owners to take action in
the hope of preventing any future illegal
activity. He confirmed the law does allow
for the seizure of property, if the property
owner knowingly permits illegal activity
to continue at their property.
Anyone with information on drug activity should contact the Van Wert Coun-
ty Sheriffs Office at (419) 238-3866 or

use the Submit a Crime Tip link. at
the Van Wert County Sheriffs Office
website, www.vanwertcountysheriff.com
Any information on this or other crimes
can be reported to Van Wert County
Crime Stoppers at (419) 238-STOP. Anyone reporting information to the Sheriffs
Office or Crime Stoppers can choose to
remain anonymous.
The West Central Ohio Crime Task
Force is made up of officers from the
Van Wert County Sheriffs Office, Allen County Sheriffs Office, Lima Police
Department, Paulding County Sheriffs
Office and several other state and federal agencies. The West Central Ohio
Crime Task Force operates within a
multi-county area to combat drugs and
major crimes.

Between January of 2014 and
January of 2015, employment in
the state has increased by 97,800
persons. Ohio took on 12,500 more
manufacturing jobs as well as 27,300
more in leisure and hospitality,
31,400 in trade, transportation , and
utilities, 17,000 more in professional
and business services, and an additional 15,600 jobs in educational and
health services.
In December, the Van Wert County unemployment rate bottomed out
at 3.8 percent while Allen County
saw a slight right to 4.5 percent and
Putnam County also bounced back
up to 3.7 percent. County rates for
January are slated for release on
Tuesday.
VolunteerS
(From page 1)
Red Cross Hospital Coordinator Carol Hennis a 20-year Red Cross volunteer veteran said volunteers work
in the pharmacy, ER, patient registration
and records, medical building, specialty
clinics and provide patient transport.
Patient contact is very important and
we are trained to help, Hennis explained.
For example, since we do not have a
chaplain on site, we talk with patients
and their families to connect them with
a chaplain. When working in the pharmacy, we deliver medications to the nurses
stations or we might run copies for a department or do other clerical work.
Volunteer Ann Ayers works in Materials Management an area of the hospital where supplies are located and
her job is very hands on.
I may spend 15 minutes picking up
and disposing cardboard boxes, Ayers
said. We feel like we are helping by
giving others more time to work on more
important things.
This year there are 47 volunteers who
may work four to five hours per week
and they manage their own schedules.
Volunteers are held to the same
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) standards
hospital employees are held to, Hennis

said. Once a year there is an annual
meeting where volunteers have HIPPA
training and any other hospital training
required. We also sign updated confidentiality paperwork.
We have snowbirds that work
here while they are here in the warm
months, Ayers said. Many of them
volunteer in facilities while they winter
in the south.
Senior Human Resources Generalist
Kim Sarchet said the Red Cross volunteers are an integral part of the facilitys
daily functions and help provide the best
care to members of the community.
The volunteers are highly valued
and appreciated, Sarchet said. Carol
has come up with an innovative youth
program.
The goal is to have a place where
college students who are committed to
a medical career such as cardiology or
nursing can come and shadow in doctors offices around town and/or work in
the hospital in the ER or another department, Hennis detailed. The experience
can be tailored to the students specific
needs; length of time on summer break
and interests. It also broadens their resume and provides them a professional
reference.
Last year was the first year for the
program and the first candidate was
an Ohio State University student Cody
Klinger.
His goal was to become a pre-med
student, Hennis detailed. After completing the program Cody said the program solidifies my desire to come back
to Van Wert after graduation and become a family physician.
The program fulfilled two goals; the
hospitals goal to be a tool to bring young
physicians back into the community, as
well as the Red Crosss goal to involve
young people as volunteers.
Hennis work on the youth program
garnered her a Clara Barton Award for
Meritorious Volunteer Leadership, an
award she is not only very proud of,
but very deserving of. In addition, her
20 years of dedication includes interviewing potential Red Cross volunteers,
seeing them through the application
process, considering their talents and
placing them in appropriate areas of the
hospital.
Applications are being taken now for
the three openings in the program this
coming summer. For more information,
call Hennis at 419-203-6030.

There are training programs to aid in identifying
at risk soldiers. My experience shows that most soldiers keep their feelings to
themselves, Scott Ball, retired 1SG and former Army
Ranger said. However,
nowadays PTSD is finally an
issue that people shouldnt
feel weak or ashamed to get
help for. If soldiers dont go
through the chain of command, chaplains are very
instrumental in this process.
All the companies where I
was 1SG were in good hands
with the chain of command
and chaplains.
Post Commander of the
Continental American Le-
gion and Msgt. in the Indiana

Air National Guard Bernie
Rau said there are numerous
avenues of assitance and resources available for veterans.
The Legion and VFW
are both big advocates for
PTSD. Both websites (www.
legion.org and www.vfw.org)
have information and links.
Locally, the County Service
Officers (Tamara Curtis (419)
223-8522 in Allen County)
work with the VA, Rau said.
The Lima VA clinic (419222-5788) is a viable place
to seek treatment. The clinic offers pharmaceutical,
counseling and group treatments. A primary caregiver
may prescribe medications
to help with the depression

and anxiety that can accompany PTSD. One-on-one
counseling allows the veteran to discuss their problems
in a private, nonthreatening
setting. Group therapy allows veterans to share their
troubles with others who
have had similar experiences and who can offer support.
Trained
PTSD
service dogs may be available
through Disabled American Veterans (dav.org) or
the Wounded Warrior Program (woundedwarriorproject.org). These animals are
trained to identify environmental stressors and change
of behavior in their owners.
They can pull their owners

back to reality by nudging or
barking.
Veterans,
who
have
thoughts of harming themselves or others can call the
VA Crisis hotline ((800) 273TALK). Those who feel they
are having a life threatening
psychiatric emergency dial
911.
Family and friends should
not hesitate to seek help for
their loved ones. Sufferers
should not hesitate to seek
help for themselves.
With the resources available, there is no reason for
anyone to slip through the
cracks. Rau said. There is
help.

From 1951 to 1966, UNESCO, an organization affiliated with the United Nations,
issued a series of 41 gift stamps. Considered to be cinderellas, they were produced
to raise money for the organization. The
series is unusual in being an international
cooperative effort. Thanks to the generos-
ity of Dr. Walter Wolery, we have a large

collection of stamps printed for UNESCO.
We will continue this series of articles
