Delphos, Ohio
Council to see pay restoration ordinance

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS A pay restoration
ordinance will make its way back to
city council for its reading at the April
6 meeting.
Following a short Finance
Committee meeting Monday evening,
Chair Josh Gillespie and other committee members as well as the remainder of
council, excluding Joe Martz who was

absent, discussed the measure that will
bring department heads and the administration back to full pay.
Those employees had their pay
reduced by 7.5 percent in September
2013 to bring them in line with hourly
workers whose hours were reduced
from 40 to 37 per week.
We didnt pass the ordinance in
February because it had the emergency clause attached and we felt it was
being rushed through, Gillespie said.

Bringing them back up to full pay was
included in the permanent 2015 Budget
we passed earlier this month and we as
a council feel its time to do this as well.
The mayor has been asked to introduce
the legislation again with the emergency clause but we want to let it go the
full three readings and it can take effect
immediately after we pass it.
Fire Chief Kevin Streets represented
department heads and read a statement
to the commmittee Monday night.

Street stated: Department heads
have worked with the administration
and council to lower their budgets and
made due with staff reductions, doing
administrative work as well as hourly
work to get the jobs completed and
worked harder and smarter to come up
with solutions to help the city with its
issues.

Spring brings 8th Habitat home to Delphos

BY NANCY SPENCER
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Despite Mondays
small snowstorm, work on the
property for the eighth Habitat for
Humanity home in Delphos is under
way.
The home will be built at 1209
N. Washington St. and the former
dwelling and garage were torn down
Monday to make way for the new
3-bedroom house. The new homeowner has yet to be announced.
Once demolition is completed,
we will lay out the house for the
building permits. Once approved,
excavation will begin to pour the
footers and foundation walls,
Habitat for Humanity Lima Area
construction Manager Roger Calvert
said.
The house will have a conditioned crawl space and the floor will
be installed before the Blessing
of the Build on April 25 when the
walls and roof trusses will be raised.
The floor structure goes in the week
before.
Our goal is to build a home that
will be a blessing to the community,

Calvert said. Each is built to be the
most energy-efficient that we are
able to provide. The home we just
completed on the south side of Lima
earned the Energy Star 3.0 certification and was appraised at just under
$100,000.
A lot of activity will occur before
the Blessing. After the foundation
is poured, windows and doors will
be framed and the walls laid out at
the end of this week and into next
week.
Then comes the volunteers,
Calvert said.
We want a Habitat build to be a
community activity, Calvert said.
I always go around and talk to as
many groups as I can and I hope
everyone shares the information
with their church groups.
Safety is the number one goal
when building a Habitat home and
since many workers are volunteers
and may have never swung a hammer, Calvert said a mandatory safety
course must be taken online by all
who work on Habitat builds.
Safety is vital to the Habitat mission. We want everyone who works
on a Habitat site or in the Restore to

go home safe at the end of the day. It
is also an OSHA requirement that we
provide training to all who come and
participate, Calvert said There are
on-line training modules that are now
a requirement for participation. There
are 4-5 of them and they take about 10
minutes each to watch. The completion of the quiz at the end of each module tells us they have been completed.
This will save us a bunch of time when
we get to the site each day.
The training course is at habitatlima.org. Click on Volunteer Safety
and read the section on Mandatory
Safety Training and click on hfhaffiliateinsurance.com/volunteers/ and
take the following modules: You
Are Exposed General Affiliate
Safety, Volunteering on a Habitat
Job Site, Ladder Safety, Fall Safety
and Portable Power Tool Safety. To
begin, click Begin Now on the
Lockton First page. Once a module
is completed, fill in name and state.
A notification will be sent to Habitat
Lima.
For more information, call Calvert
at 419-581-5538 or Jim Lewis at
419-222- 4257 at the Restore.
COLUMBUS Ohio
Attorney General Mike DeWine
announced Tuesday that
Ohioans with concealed carry
permits will be able to use those
permits in five additional states.
Pursuant to changes adopted
in House Bill 234 of the 130th
General Assembly, Ohio now
has concealed carry permit reciprocity with Colorado, Georgia,
New Hampshire, Texas and
Wisconsin.
House Bill 234 strengthened
background check procedures
by requiring sheriffs to contact
the federal National Instant
Criminal Background Check
System (NICS) to verify that
a concealed carry applicant is
lawfully eligible to possess a
firearm in the United States.
This change allowed Attorney
General DeWine to execute
a concealed carry reciprocity
agreement with Texas, which
already had such standards.
Additionally, House Bill
234 provides that a concealed
carry permit issued by another
state is valid in Ohio so long as
the permit holder is not an Ohio
resident and is in the state temporarily. This change allowed
Attorney General DeWine to
confirm similar reciprocity
privileges for Ohio citizens
with Colorado, Georgia, New
Hampshire, and Wisconsin.
Including the five additional
states, Ohio now has concealed
carry reciprocity with 28
total states. Ohio had already
confirmed reciprocity with
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
Delaware, Florida, Idaho,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michigan, Missouri, New
Mexico, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee,
Utah, Virginia, Washington,
West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The changes enacted by
House Hill 234 became effective today. The Ohio Attorney
Generals Office has updated
its concealed carry laws manual, as well as the State of Ohio
concealed carry license and
renewal application to reflect
the changes in law. The manual is available online at www.
OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/
CCWManual, and the application is available at www.
OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/
CCWApplication.
Ottoville updating junk vehicle policies

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE Police Chief Jay Herrick spoke
with council about updating and approving existing
village policies to include more detail regarding
junk vehicles within the village during Monday
nights Ottoville Village Council meeting.
We want to update our light and vague existing
policies to new, more detailed policies, Herrick
explained. For example, with junk vehicles, they
have to fall under five different codes before we
can do anything about them. They can sit in the
residents driveway with flat tires and expired tags
and be considered an eyesore.
Herrick said he would like a new junk vehicle

ordinance with penalties before April 1 and will
work with Village Solicitor Theresa Von Sossan on
the policies and ordinance.
Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher asked council to approve semi-annual transfers of $2,000 to the
Water Reserve Fund, $4,000 to the Sewer Reserve
Fund and $2,500 to the Police Department Fund.
Members also approved the 3-percent increase in
the dental and vision insurance through Guardian
Insurance, as well as continuing with the existing
village liquor licences.
Mayor Ron Miller opened the floor council
committee members for discussion of meeting
details. Councilman Jerry Markward said he had
a discussion with Chief Herrick about the starting
wages of new part-time officers.

We should push new part-time officers pay
rate from $10.50 to $11.00, Markward said.
Councilman Joe Moreno thought the increase
would make the village more competitive and draw
quality personnel.
All council members agreed to increase the
starting wage.
The alley beside the daycare has a lot of potholes, Moreno explained. We need a more permanent solution.
Council discussed the high-traffic area and
what steps might be taken to correct the eroding
alleyway.

disagree to our core and
respect each other through
our votes.
If passed, the bill would
be one of the most stringent abortion restrictions
in America.
It is viewed by its champions at the anti-abortion
group Faith2Action as having the potential to draw a
pivotal constitutional challenge to the U.S. Supreme
Courts landmark Roe v.
Wade decision legalizing
abortions. Ohio Right to
Life, the states oldest
and largest anti-abortion
group, has declined to
endorse it.
The House passed the
same bill two sessions ago,
but it died in the Senate.
The measure reached the
House floor again last session, but was unexpectedly
defeated.

Delphos FFA freshmen experience real world agriculture

DELPHOS Freshmen members of the Delphos FFA
spent a day on the farm or at a local agribusiness to enhance
their education and appreciation of the various sectors of the
agricultural industry. The experience teaches students about
real world agriculture and allows them to apply skills and
techniques learned in the classroom.
Freshmen Experience is an excellent way for students to
experience what we are teaching them in the classroom and
also for them to start to develop a Supervised Agriculture
Experience Program. They gain hands-on experience needed
to be well-informed and establish a good work ethic, said
Agricultural Education Instructor Scott Elwer. FFA members
worked hand-in-hand with 16 local farms and business from
the Delphos area for the day. Whether it was a seed dealer, vet,
swine, beef or dairy farm, students gained knowledge of what
it is like working on a daily basis in the agricultural industry.
The various pictures below depict the many scenes and
lessons learned during this busy day.

Spring will officially be here this week

as I write this! Monday was a very beautiful
day with the temperature going up in the 60s.
We hung all the laundry outside to dry. It was
so nice to be able to fold all the clothes and
put them away the
same day.
Susans friend
Mose tapped all
our maple trees for
sap and also some
of the trees at my
sisters Verena and
Susans place. He
also tapped a few
of neighbor Irenes
trees.
The sap is running but not as
much as some
years. Mose cooked
the sap on Saturday
and we now have fresh maple syrup. It is
surprising how many gallons of sap it takes to
get one gallon of maple syrup. A lot of work
goes into it all.
We all love the maple syrup. It tastes so
much better on pancakes than pancake syrup.
The children like to warm it and put it on
vanilla ice cream.
We had a nice day for Alvin and Susannas
wedding last week. The wind was a little
chilly but the sun was shining so that helped.
On the menu were mashed potatoes, gravy,
baked chicken, dressing, mixed vegetables,
lettuce salad, sliced cheese, homemade bread,
butter and strawberry jam, angel food cake
with a strawberry topping, mixed fruit, and
pecan, blueberry and cherry pies. Ice cream
was also added for the evening meal. We wish
Alvin and Susanna a long, happy married life
together with all of Gods richest blessings!
We have several more wedding invitations
for this spring. Joes cousin Ben and Elizabeth
will exchange vows on April 3 in Rochester,
Ind. They both lost their first partners. We
wish them a happy, blessed life together!
Also, congratulations to Orlie Wayne and
LaVera Ann! They will exchange vows on
April 23. Joe and Orlie work at the same RV
factory. We appreciate the invitations and
hope to be able to attend.
We also received a Save the Date and
an invitation-to-follow card from cousin Janes daughter Tiffany and her fianc
Samual. They plan to exchange vows on Sept.
5. Congratulations to the couple!
Our thoughts are with niece Suzanne, age
14 (sister Liz and Levis daughter). She has
been in the hospital since Monday. She has
asthmatic bronchitis pneumonia and a virus.
We hope she will be well enough to go home
soon and have a speedy recovery. Its always

a worry for the parents when our children are
sick. Sounds like she was dehydrated with a
high fever and was a very sick girl.
Sunday we had dinner with sisters Verena
and Susan. Another beautiful day! The children enjoyed playing outside, biking, and
riding the pony.
Timothy and Mose
also were there and
sister Emma, Jacob,
and family. Also
their
daughters
friends, Menno and
Manuel. Daughters
Verena and Loretta
spent the weekend
in Indiana with
friends so they
werent there.
Joe and the boys
took advantage of
the nice weather
on Saturday and
hauled some manure out of the barn. I love
spring! Its always nice to see everything
start blooming. I am keeping my eye open
for those dandelion greens. Rhubarb stems
should be peeping through too. This morning
we had 23 degrees so we might have a few
cold days yet.

OHSAA to add 6 to
Circle of Champions
COLUMBUS The Ohio High
School Athletic Association will
honor six former Ohio high school
greats during the finals of the 2015
Boys State Basketball Tournament
Saturday.
Recognized during the
Division IV championship
game that begins at 10:45
a.m. will be Lisa Cline, Chris
Beanie Wells and Troy
Smith, while Bob Golic,
Randy Gradishar and Lou
Holtz will be honored during
the 4:30 Division II championship
game. This is the ninth consecutive
year the OHSAA has selected individuals who had prominent roles in
the history of Ohio interscholastic
athletics to be included in its Circle
of Champions program. The state
tournament will be held at Ohio
States Jerome Schottenstein Center
in Columbus.
Lisa Cline was an outstanding
basketball player at Millersburg West
Holmes High School and at Ohio
State. In high school, she led the
Knights to the first two of three
straight state championships in 1984
and 85 while helping the team string
together a state-record 108 straight
wins. She scored 2,958 career points,
currently ranking third in Ohio girls
history. She continues to hold the
state record for points in a game
(76) and points in a season when
she averaged 37 points per game as
a senior. At Ohio State, she helped
the team win three Big Ten championships and a berth in the NCAA
Sweet 16 all four years. She was
the Big Ten Freshman of the Year,
league player of the year as a senior
in 1989 and finished second on the
Buckeyes career scoring list. Lisa
has been inducted into both Ohio

States Athletics Hall of Fame and
the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame.
Her brother, Mike, played basketball
at Ohio State from 1976-79 and was
a senior captain. Lisa currently lives
in central Ohio.
Chris Beanie Wells
was an All-American running back and ran track at
Akron Garfield High School
before attending Ohio State
on a football scholarship. As
a full-time starter during his
sophomore year in 2007, he
rushed for 1,609 yards and
15 touchdowns, including 222 yards
against Michigan. He was named
first team All-Big Ten and second
team All-American. Beanie gained
nearly 1,200 yards his junior season
despite missing three games with
a foot injury. Ohio State was 33-6
during his three seasons and won
three Big Ten championships. After
his junior year he entered the NFL,
where he was drafted in the first
round by Arizona. During his four
years with the Cardinals, he set a franchise record with 228 rushing yards
against St. Louis in 2011 in a season
that saw him rush for 1,047 yards
and 10 touchdowns. A torn Achilles
tendon in October 2013 has put his
career on hold but Beanie is continuing to rehab for a possible return to
the NFL while working to complete
his degree, donating time to charity
and youth programs and also starting
a broadcasting career. He resides in
the Columbus area.
Troy Smith was a standout quarterback at Cleveland Glenville High
School who also played basketball
and ran track.

Duke, UNC, NC State point

guards drive teams into Sweet 16
By AARON BEARD
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Triangle
neighbors Duke, North Carolina and North
Carolina State are getting top-notch play at
the point. Its a big reason why theyre
headed to the NCAA Tournaments Sweet
16 together for the first time in a decade.
The freshman-senior duo of Tyus
Jones and Quinn Cook gives the Blue
Devils a pair of proven playmaking
scorers. For the Tar Heels, a healthier
Marcus Paige is back to knocking down
big shots. And the Wolfpacks Anthony
Cat Barber keeps sprinting by defenders in the open court.
Theyre battle-tested, including
against one another.
Theyre all very competitive
youre going against the best and you
want to perform against the best, said
Jeff Capel, Dukes associate head coach
who played some point for the Blue
Devils in the 1990s. I think its helped
make them all better.
Im sure our guys are looking at,
What did Barber do? What did Paige
do? Paige is looking at, What did
Barber do? Theyre all looking. Thats
what competitors do.
North Carolinas Triangle region features three Atlantic Coast Conference
programs Duke in Durham, UNC in
Chapel Hill, N.C. State in Raleigh
with about a 30-minute drive between
any of the three campuses.
Theyve combined for 11 NCAA
titles but this is only the fourth time

theyve all gone to the Sweet 16 in the
same year, the others were 1986, 1989
and 2005, according to STATS.
Duke (31-4) was expected to get
there as the No. 1 seed in the NCAAs
South Region. So was North Carolina
(26-11), the Wests No. 4 seed which
survived the opening weekend for the
first time since 2012.
But N.C. State (22-13) is one of the
tournaments top stories after rallying from
16 down to beat LSU on a last-second shot
and then stunning top-seeded Villanova.
Also in the Sweet 16 for the first time
since 2012, the Easts No. 8 seed earned its
first win against a No. 1 seed since coach
Jim Valvano led that memorable Cardiac
Pack championship run in 1983.
Guard play has been huge for all
three teams.
It was Jones distributing and Cook burying 3-pointers against Robert Morris and
San Diego State, Paige having a big second
half against Arkansas or Barber weaving
his way through Villanovas pressure.
Theyre different, Capel said, but
theyre winners.
Jones is averaging 6.5 assists at the
helm of a Duke offense shooting 58 percent through two NCAA games. Cook
who moved to a combo-guard role
with Jones arrival after playing mostly
at the point previously is averaging
18.5 points and shooting 56 percent,
including 9 for 18 on 3s.
At UNC, Paige was a preseason pick
for Associated Press all-American and
ACC player of the year but he had a

slow start and then battled a troublesome
foot injury for more than two months.
Now the smooth left-handed junior is
looking more like himself again. After
averaging 13.2 points and shooting 40
percent through the first 30 games, hes
averaged 17.9 points and shot 47 percent
over the past seven dating to the regular-season finale against Duke.
Im healthy, thats the biggest part,
said Paige, who scored 20 of his 22 points
after halftime in Saturdays win against the
Razorbacks. Im a little bit more aggressive than I have been attacking the basket.
I would just say confidence, health and
just understanding that Ive got to be a
playmaker at this point in the year.
Then theres Barber, a sophomore
averaging 15.8 points over his last 13
games with improved range on his shot
to go with the kind of speed that had
earned him his nickname before stepping foot on campus.
His run has included wins at
Louisville N.C. States next opponent and UNC along with a 34-point
night against Pittsburgh in the ACC
Tournament. Barber scored 17 points
against LSU, then had 13 despite foul
trouble against Villanova.
For us, when Cat Barber took his
game somewhat to another level here
it changed everything for our team,
coach Mark Gottfried said before the
win over Villanova. I thought he
became, at times, as good as anybody in
the country.

National champs on notice: Meyer not happy with Buckeyes

By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
COLUMBUS The confetti showers. The trophy ceremonies. The remarkable run to a national championship.
All that felt like a very long time ago at
Ohio State on Tuesday.
The Buckeyes third spring practice
was a bad one and coach Urban Meyer
let everybody know about it.
Today was not a pleasant one,
Meyer said. Not going to blame players
or coaches yet. Thats coming though if
we dont get better.
After winning the first College
Football Playoff last season, Ohio States
most daunting opponent this season is
complacency. The opponent seemed to
get the best of the Buckeyes on Tuesday
and safety Vonn Bell said Meyers message was received.
Its time to go, Bell said.
There were plenty of reasons for the
Buckeyes to be spotty. This was the
Buckeyes first practice with shoulder
pads and the first after spring break.
Meyer added the coaching staff limited several key players including star
offensive linemen Taylor Decker and Pat
Elflein as part of the teams strategy
to manage wear and tear.
You just got to be smart, which I

think we are being smart, Meyer said.
Though sometimes when you look out
at practice and see how awful it is but
its still the right thing to do.
Meyer calls it the 2,000 club, which
stands for 2,000 competitive repetitions
or plays. Those can come in games
or practice. Ohio State tracks those
reps and Meyer is especially cautious about the players in the 2,000
club, like Decker and Elflein.
I think were on the cutting
edge of just being smart about the
wear and tear the student athlete goes
through, he said.
There are some drawbacks.
We have to really think this
through, Meyer said. Youre losing
a little bit of chemistry in the unit. In
the offensive line you hear stories about
the cohesive offensive line. When you
hear that story, thats absolutely correct.
I think were a great example the last
three years. Extremely close group that
has a little chemistry going, you lost
that completely (in practice) because
youre sticking some guys in there that
arent quite ready yet. Same thing with
defensive line.
Thats why sometimes it looks really bad.
Meyer said quarterback Braxton

Miller, who is still recovering from
surgery shoulder, had his practice work
pulled back, too, but just to be safe.
Ohio States quarterback competition
between Miller, J.T. Barrett and Cardale
Jones is the top story line of spring practice, but realistically the competition wont heat up until August.
Jones, who started the last three
games of Ohio States championship run, is the only healthy
member of the Buckeyes embarrassment of quarterback riches.
Barrett broke his ankle against Michigan
and is also not yet ready to be fully
involved in practice.
The immediate issues facing Ohio
State are not quite as compelling as
who will start at quarterback when the
Buckeyes open the season at Virginia
Tech on Labor Day night.
Right now, Meyer is not happy
though thats not necessarily a bad thing.
Discomfort is good. And theres a little discomfort right now. That was not a
good day, Meyer added. Complacency
is comfort. I equate the two. Discomfort
is a learning opportunity. Our coaches
know that. So theres going to be discomfort right now. That wasnt what
were supposed to be.
Augusta National getting too crowded for its liking

By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. Matt Every needed a victory at Bay

Hill to get into the Masters,and he was only being honest when
he shared what he was thinking as Henrik Stenson faced a
birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff.
Youre already in. Miss it. I need to get in.
Augusta National would have had reason to root for
Stenson.
It has managed to keep the field at the Masters under 100
players for nearly 50 years, a streak that is in serious jeopardy
going into the final two weeks. Every was the fourth PGA
Tour winner in the last six weeks to qualify for the Masters.
That brings the total to 95 players at Augusta including
Tiger Woods, the great unknown heading into a pivotal
week.
This is the second and final cutoff for players not already
eligible for the Masters to qualify through the top 50 in the
world ranking. Three players in the top 50 are virtually assured
of staying there Anirban Lahiri of India (No. 35), Bernd

Wiesberger of Austria (No. 41) and Branden Grace of South
Africa (No. 43).
So that makes 98.
Marc Warren of Scotland (52), Harris English (53) and
Alex Levy of France (54) are all playing this week either in the
Texas Open or the Hassan Trophy in Morocco. The Masters
also will take the winners of the Texas Open and Houston
Open the following week if theyre not yet eligible.
Depending on two tournaments on opposite ends of the
world and depending on Woods the Masters could have
more than 100 players for the first time since there were 103
players in 1966.
The other three majors have 156 players. The other three
majors are not the Masters.
From its inception in 1934, Augusta National was meant
to be exclusive in so many ways, including its invitation-only
tournament each spring that has grown up to be must-see TV
around the world. The club believes a limited field enhances
the experience of the players.
Browns expect Manziel

on field in April
Associated Press
NFL owners shoot down

most replay proposals
Associated Press
PHOENIX Browns coach Mike Pettine expects quarterback Johnny Manziel to take part in the teams practices next
month after leaving rehab.
Pettine said the team has received good feedback about
Manziel, who entered a treatment facility on Jan. 28 for an
undisclosed problem. A first-round draft pick in 2014, the
2012 Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M backed up
Brian Hoyer before playing poorly in two starts. Following the
season, Manziel acknowledged he should have taken his job
more seriously.
Pettine does not know when
Manziel will be discharged from
rehab but expects the young QB to
return to football immediately. The
Browns will work out on April 20.
When he is back, it will be full
speed ahead for him, Pettine said. I
think hes very anxious at this point.
Pettine emphasized Manziels personal issues outweigh anything related to his profession.
Football, its a back seat, Pettine
said. For his football life to get it
where it needs to be, he needs to get
Manziel
the personal life where it needs to be.
This takes precedence, so however
long of time he needs, the football will be there when he gets
out.
While at the owners meetings, the Browns have had discussions with HBO about being featured on Hard Knocks,
the cable networks popular reality series that gives viewers
and inside look at an NFL team during training camp. Pettine
knows all about Hard Knocks from when he was an assistant
coach with the New York Jets.
Pettine said Manziels situation is a factor in the Browns
hesitancy to be on the program.
When we decided not to volunteer for Hard Knocks, we
discussed everything that was involved with it, he explained.
That (Manziel) was certainly something we needed to consider. I wouldnt say (Manziel) loomed large. You just weigh
everything in. Because being a part of Hard Knocks, knowing
theyre going to look to cover the teams biggest, current story
lines its obvious that he would be a point of attention.
PHOENIX NFL owners shot

down nearly every video replay proposal brought to their meetings Tuesday,
while approving six safety rule changes.
Of the 13 replay alterations proposed, including extending the number
of coaches challenges and letting them
challenge all officiating calls, the only
one passed will allow game officials to
use replay for clock issues at the end of
a half, game or overtime if more than 1
second remains.
Washingtons suggestion to use replay
to review personal fouls was withdrawn.
Kansas City withdrew a proposal to
allow replay officials to review all potential scores or turnovers. For example, a
pass ruled incomplete in the end zone
could be reviewed by the replay official
without a coachs challenge. Currently,
the play would be reviewed only if it was
ruled a touchdown.
Proposals defeated were:
increasing coaches challenges by
one to three;
replay reviews of any personal
fouls;
reviews of any penalty resulting
in a first down, with no challenge necessary;
replays on fouls against a defenseless receiver being enforced when a
reversal results in an incomplete pass;
reviewing fouls against a defenseless receiver, with an unsuccessful challenge not costing a timeout;
reviewing whether time expired
on the play clock before the ball is
snapped;

The Herald 7
using stadium-produced video for

a replay review.
Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey
Lurie was disappointed the Patriots
proposal that virtually anything be challengeable was not passed.
We sort of have an encyclopedic notebook of what you
can challenge, Lurie said. I
prefer challenge anything. It
didnt pass and I hope someday
it will.
The owners approved a proposal for stopping play when
a medical adviser believes a
player is unstable and should
be taken off the field. They also
approved rules prohibiting players from
pushing teammates on the line of scrimmage when the opponent is punting;
eliminating all peel-back blocks and
chop blocks by running backs outside
the tackle box; and extending defenseless player protection during an interception return.
Tabled was a move to place cameras
on all boundary lines (sidelines, goal
lines and end lines) while the league
further researches such a project.
NFL gives 32 compensatory picks
to 14 teams: NFC champion Seattle,
Denver and Kansas City each were
awarded four compensatory picks in
this years draft.
The NFL handed out 32 such picks
to 14 teams on Monday. They begin at
the conclusion of the third round when
Super Bowl winner New England gets
the 97th overall choice.
New England lost LeGarrette
Blount, Dane Fletcher, Brandon Spikes
He then attended Ohio State on a football scholarship, redshirting

during OSUs National Championship season in 2002 and becoming
a starter midway through his sophomore year. Troys memorable
senior season in 2006 saw him pass for 2,507 yards and 30 TDs,
earn All-America honors and culminate with his selection as the
Heisman Trophy winner, the sixth Buckeye to win the honor. He was
especially effective during his career against Michigan, going 3-0 as
a starter while accumulating nearly 1,200 total yards and accounting
for nine TDs. This past fall, his number 10 was enshrined and
permanently put on display at Ohio Stadium with other Buckeye
greats and Heisman winners. Since leaving Ohio State, Troy has
played in the NFL with the Ravens and 49ers and in the United and
Canadian football Leagues. He is currently taking graduate classes
at Ohio State, is a graduate assistant in the athletic department and
is an advocate for youth fitness and health programs. Troy resides in
the Columbus area.
Bob Golic was a standout football player and wrestler at
Cleveland St. Joseph High School, where he won the state championship as a heavyweight wrestler in 1975. He went on to the
University of Notre Dame, where he helped the football team win
a national championship in 1977 and earned All-America honors
in both football and wrestling. Following graduation in 1979, Bob
spent 14 seasons in the NFL. Seven of those seasons were with
Cleveland, where he was a 3-time Pro Bowl nose guard, was twice
named All-Pro and helped the Browns make the playoffs his final
four years. His time in Cleveland was sandwiched by stops with the
Patriots and Raiders. Following retirement in 1992, Bob has worked
as a television actor, radio personality and sports commentator. He
currently lives in Solon with his wife Karen and owns Bob Golics
Sports Bar and Grille in downtown Cleveland. He is the older brother of ESPN sports personality Mike Golic, the co-host of the popular
Mike and Mike in the Morning show.
Randy Gradishar was a standout football and basketball player at
Warren Champion High School. He went on to star as a linebacker
at both the collegiate and professional levels. While at Ohio State,
Randy was a 3-year starter who helped the Buckeyes win two Big
Ten titles. In his senior year, Ohio State defeated Southern Cal in the
1974 Rose Bowl to complete a 10-0-1 season. He was a 2-time consensus All-American and an Academic All-American. A first-round
draft pick of the Broncos, Randy played 10 years in Denver and was
the centerpiece of the Orange Crush Defense. He was a 7-time Pro
Bowl and 5-time All-Pro selection, played in the 1978 Super Bowl
and was the 78 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Never missing
a game, many considered him one of the smartest and most instinctive NFL linebackers ever. Among his many accomplishments are
selections to the Ohio State Athletics and College Football halls
of fame and the Broncos Ring of Fame. In addition to his storied
athletic career, Randy made three Goodwill USO tours to Iraq and
Afghanistan. He currently works for Phil Long Dealerships and Mt.
Carmel Center of Excellence, which provides wellness programs
and transitional programs to veterans and their families. Randy and
his wife Beth reside in Denver.
Lou Holtz grew up in East Liverpool before attending Kent State,
where he played football for two years and earned his bachelors
degree. He then embarked on a long and successful college football coaching career beginning in 1960. He was a grad or assistant
coach at five schools over the next nine years, including Ohio State,
where he was on Coach Woody Hayes staff of the Buckeyes 1968
National Championship team. Next, he served as a collegiate head
coach for 33 of the next 36 years before retiring from coaching following the 2004 season with 249 wins. His most successful stint was
at Notre Dame, where his 11 teams won 100 games, ranking second
to Knute Rockne in Fighting Irish victories. The 1988 Notre Dame
team won the national championship and he was national coach of
the year. Coach Holtz is currently seen on ESPN as a college football analyst and is a frequent motivational speaker. In 1998, he also
helped form the Lou Holtz/Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame back in
East Liverpool, where Ohio Valley greats in all fields are recognized
and scholarships and grants are presented to students and teachers.
Lou and his wife, Beth, reside in Orlando, Fla., and have four children, including son Skip, the head football coach at Louisiana Tech.

As the warmer months are just

around the corner,
another thing that
comes with spring
days are ants invading our homes. The
leading sources of
ant infestations are
dirty dishes that can
pile up in the sink.
But your dishwasher has an airtight
seal that keeps ants
out. By placing used
utensils,
dishes,
bowls and cookware
inside, you can keep
the ants away, since
the smell of old food
will be trapped inside the dishwasher
and not wafting in
the air.

EVERYTHING WE TOUCHTURNS TO SOLD
Electrician
out of her blouse was a wardrobe malfunction. I no longer feel that way.
Jerry is a pushover. He doesnt say anything;
he just runs away from it. Im afraid things will
only get worse. She must be trying to run me
off. I cant think of any other reason for her behavior.
We have decided to not go on vacation with
them this year because of this. Jerry is doing
what he can for us to avoid being around her,
but he has his 1-year-old granddaughter he
adores to consider. What do you think is going
on? -- COVERING MY EYES IN TEXAS
DEAR COVERING: I think the daughterin-law either has no sense of modesty or shes
an exhibitionist who enjoys shocking people.
Because it bothers you and embarrasses your
fiance, he should tell his son and explain how
it makes the both of you feel. If the son delivers the message to his wife, it shouldnt cause a
family rift.
DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, I broke up
with a guy who was emotionally and sexually abusive. We had been seeing each other for
eight months. We werent living together, but I
still was scared to break up with him because of
what he might do to me. He would often call me
bad names if I disagreed with what he wanted
to do, and have angry outbursts during which he
would throw things.
I have looked up how to safely exit an abusive relationship, but everything I find deals
with what to do if you are living with the abuser. They dont teach us in high school how to
safely drop an abuser; they just tell us to drop
him. How do you safely break up with an abuser
when moving to the other side of the country is
impractical? -- RECOVERING IN THE USA
DEAR RECOVERING: Here is what I recommend: If you have mutual friends, tell them
why you ended the relationship with him. In
addition, stop going places where you know he
hangs out.
If he continues to call you, tell him to stop
and hang up. Then screen your calls. If he
emails, delete his messages without looking at
them. However, if he follows or continues to
pursue you, make a police report.
DEAR ABBY: Last year my unmarried
30ish niece became a mother. Never once at
family gatherings has there been any mention
of a father.
I am more than a little bit curious. A onenight stand? A fertility clinic? A do-it-yourself
turkey-baster job? Would I be wrong to bring
up the subject? -- CURIOUS UNCLE IN OREGON
DEAR UNCLE: Yes, you would. I can 100
percent guarantee a male was involved at some
point in the conception of that child. And if the
fathers identity was any of your business, you
would already know the answer to that question.

This isnt going

On the other hand, if
you stick it into CDs

youll receive almost

You didnt mention

been around for a substantial amount of time
and have an excellent
track record.

Plane crash kills 150 people in

French Alps; black box found
SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France (AP) A black box recovered from the scene and pulverized pieces of debris strewn
across Alpine mountainsides held clues to what caused a
German jetliner to take an unexplained eight-minute dive
Tuesday midway through a flight from Spain to Germany,
apparently killing all 150 people on board.
The victims included two babies, two opera singers and
16 German high school students and their teachers returning
from an exchange trip to Spain. It was the deadliest crash in
France in decades.
The Airbus A320 operated by Germanwings, a budget
subsidiary of Lufthansa, was less than an hour from landing in
Duesseldorf on a flight from Barcelona when it unexpectedly
went into a rapid descent. The pilots sent out no distress call
and had lost radio contact with their control center, Frances
aviation authority said, deepening the mystery.
While investigators searched through debris from Flight
9525 on steep and desolate slopes, families across Europe
reeled with shock and grief. Sobbing relatives at both airports
were led away by airport workers and crisis counselors.
The site is a picture of horror. The grief of the families
and friends is immeasurable, German Foreign Minister
Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after being flown over the crash
scene. We must now stand together. We are united in our
great grief.
It took investigators hours to reach the site, led by mountain
guides to the craggy ravine in the southern French Alps, not
far from the Italian border and the French Riviera.
Video shot from a helicopter and aired by BFM TV showed
rescuers walking in the crevices of a rocky mountainside scattered with plane parts. Photos of the crash site showed white
flecks of debris across a mountain and larger airplane body

sections with windows. A helicopter crew that landed briefly
in the area saw no signs of life, French officials said.
Everything is pulverized. The largest pieces of debris are
the size of a small car. No one can access the site from the
ground, Gilbert Sauvan, president of the general council,
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, told The Associated Press.
This is pretty much the worst thing you can imagine,
said Bodo Klimpel, mayor of the German town of Haltern,
rent with sorrow after losing 16 10th graders and their two
teachers.
The White House and the airline chief said there was no
sign that terrorism was involved, and German Chancellor
Angela Merkel urged reporters not to speculate on the cause.
We still dont know much beyond the bare information
on the flight, and there should be no speculation on the cause
of the crash, she said in Berlin. All that will be investigated
thoroughly.
Lufthansa Vice President Heike Birlenbach told reporters
in Barcelona that for now we say it is an accident.
In Washington, the White House said American officials
were in contact with their French, Spanish and German counterparts. There is no indication of a nexus to terrorism at
this time, said U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman
Bernadette Meehan.
Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Spanish
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy were to visit the site today.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said a black
box had been located at the crash site and will be immediately investigated. He did not say whether it was the flight data
recorder or the cockpit voice recorder.

We pay one-half and the property
owner pays the other one-half, Miller
said. There a lot of daycare traffic and
its just cars travelling though there.
Miller said the village will take care
of the patching.
That would be a temporary fix,
Miller said. It might need taken out
(asphalt) and a good base put back in.
We will research cost before getting any
property owners involved.
Board of Public Affairs members Phil
Hilvers and Dan Honigford reported videotaping the sanitary sewer will cost $150
per hour and will start running the camera
throughout the whole sanitary system soon.
Since the last meeting, weve had
one watermain break, Hilvers reported.
We have had four leaks all winter.
Forty-one letters have gone out
to residents who have their sump
pumps tied into the sanitary systems,
Honigford reported. The portable backup generator and generator for the sewer
plants are both up and running fine.
We are updating the application for
building permits for the village and $25

is the maximum, Miller said. Some
people forget about them before they get
started with new construction.
Miller said if the construction is
something that can be moved a shed
or fence they do not need a permit.
Homeowners should bring plans and
the contractors information with them
when applying for a building permit,
Milled added.
The next council meeting will be held
at 7 p.m. on April 27 at the municipal
building.

Cruz wants to scrap IRS, but

thats easier said than done
WASHINGTON
(AP)
Promising to abolish the
Internal Revenue Service is a
good talking point for political candidates who are looking to fire up the Republicans
most conservative voters. Its
also unlikely to ever happen,
no matter how easy folks such
as Sen. Ted Cruz like to make
it sound.
The Texas Republican
is pledging to scrap the
tax-collecting agency as he
runs for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. He
joins potential contenders
and the Republican National
Committee itself in the
decidedly longshot push to
dismantle the unquestionably
unpopular IRS.
Imagine abolishing the
IRS, Cruz told college students during his campaign
launch Monday. Compared
with Americas history of
fighting communism, wars
and economic calamities,
he said, abolishing the IRS
aint all that tough.
Actually, it could be pretty difficult.
The IRS collects more
than $2.4 trillion every year
money that picks up the
tab for the military, Social
Security, Medicare, all those
projects that lawmakers love
to bring home to constituents and so much more. The
roughly 90,000-employee
agency inside the Treasury
Department also enforces the
Pay
Most, if not all, department heads have had the opportunity to go elsewhere but have chosen to stay here to be part
of the solution. We chose to stay because of how we feel
about this community. The pride and dedication is a testament
to our commitment to the City of Delphos. Shouldnt we treat
our employees fairly, especially the ones who lead?
After 15 months of a shortened work week, 22 hourly
employees from Maintenance, Water and Sewer as well as the
Utilities and Tax departments ended their first 40-hour week
since October 2013 on Jan. 30.
Gallmeier said the shortened work week led to a lack of
preventative maintenance and he fears the water and wastewater treatment plants are suffering because of it. More
importantly, Gallmeier said employee morale needs a boost
and the city has begun to start losing key personnel.
Weve already shifted employees around to cover a resignation at the water treatment plant, he added. Now we have
a vacancy in the Maintenance Department. All departments
are short-handed and when we have a snow event or a watermain break, its all hands on deck. Everyone pitches in.
Gallmeier said all department heads put in time off the
clock to keep the city moving.
Our wastewater treatment plant superintendent responds
to alarms at the plant without clocking in, he said. Todd
comes in and takes care of the problem and he goes back
home without charging us for it. All our department heads do
what needs to be done regardless of if they are on the clock
or not.
Gallmeier said he will ask council to suspend the rules on
his ordinance at the next meeting.
I want them to know how important I think this is,
Gallmeier said. They still have the power to do it however
they want.

tax code for individual taxpayers and corporations.

It can be hard to imagine abolishing the IRS even
if you are a down-with-biggovernment libertarian.
If youre going to have
federal taxes, you need an
agency to collect them,
said Chris Edwards, who
leads the libertarian Cato
Institutes tax policy studies and was a senior economist with Congress Joint
Economic Committee.
Cruz is not the first candidate
to propose eliminating the agency, nor the only one among the
likely 2016 contenders.
Its our time to exercise
our right to abolish the IRS
and preserve our liberty,
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said
in a 2013 television ad for
the conservative advocacy
group Citizens United.
In South Carolina, conservative darling Ben Carson
told activists earlier this year
that the next president should
simplify the tax code and that
however its done, it needs
to eliminate the IRS.
Republican
National
Committee Chairman Reince
Priebus has proposed ditching the IRS because tax
collection should be simple,
not scandalous. He said government could collect taxes
without an agency that had
already lived out its usefulness
and we shouldnt be forced to
put up with it any longer.
