VAN WERT Spencervilles
Schylar Miller was crowned Friday
night as the 40th Queen Jubilee. Miller
won the crown as Baylee Neate of Lincolnview was named 1st Runner-Up
and Laurel Wehrkamp of Paulding
earned 2nd Runner-Up. The annual
pageant was held at the Marsh Foundation Auditorium
Miller will reign over the 2015 Peony Festival June 5-6 in Van Wert.
The pageant began with a dance
number featuring all seven candidates
with choreography by Kim Hohman,
followed by the introduction of the
seven candidates. The talent competition preceded intermission. Rachel
Green of Parkway High School was

named the winner of the talent competition, playing piano and singing Nina
Simones Feeling Good. A problem
with the technology used in the talent
competition caused a 15-minute delay
in the pageant until the event could be
resumed.
The question and answer competition began after intermission and
before the final promenade which
featured all the contestants in their
evening wear. Each candidate was presented a peony during the promenade
by one of the Little Flower Girls. Those
girls were: Lilli Best, daughter of Jeremy and Jennifer Best; Sophia Skelton,
daughter of Wes and Tina Skelton; Nodia Bolin, daughter of Joshua and Carly
Bolin; Charlotte Niedecken, daughter
of Joe and Brooke Niedecken; Gianna
Goecke, daughter of Steve and Amy
Goecke; Josie Miller, daughter of Josie

Miller and Callie Byrne; and Shayla

Schomaeker, daughter of Ron an Lisa
Schomaeker.
Once Queen Jubilee XXXIX Chelsea Hancock took her final walk as
queen, the contestants were ready for
the crowning.
Bailey Krol, representing Vantage
Career, was voted as Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants.
Judges for the pageant were Rick
Turner, director of adult education at
Apollo Career Center, Marianne Hardesty of the American Red Cross in Elida, Sharon Spinner, director of vocal
music at Wayne Trace High School,
and Jamie Allen-Ream, a surgical
nurse from Ft. Jennings. Preliminary
judges were Sue Wilkin, Ray Etzler,
and Terry Plas.

VAN WERT The 2015 Van Wert County Fair will

have a headliner performing in a show at the grandstand.
The fair board made the official announcement Friday
morning, sharing the news the Charlie Daniels Band would
be returning to Van Wert, this time to open the 160th edition of the Van Wert County Fair.
Daniels played in Van Wert to a sold out crowd in
2010 at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center and is
set to return for a September 1 performance with opening act Nashville Crush. The show is set for the Tuesday night before the fair officially opens on Wednesday,
Sept. 2.
The fair board made the decision to partner with a local investment company in able to bring a headliner back
to the grandstand, said board member Sarah Smith. In
doing this, the fair board was able to accommodate their
budget by only assuming a portion of the risk for putting
on the concert. In return, that same portion of the concert
proceeds will go back to the fair board in hopes to grow the
event in the years to come and return the Van Wert County
Fair to one of its traditions of holding a main grandstand
concert event.
After experiencing only isolated successes in the 1960s,
Daniels became a studio musician in Nashville. It wasnt
until 1973 when he got some notice for the novelty record,
Uneasy Rider. Then the next year, the album Fire on the
Mountain received significant airplay for The Souths
Gonna Do It, Orange Blossom Special, and Long
Haired Country Boy.
Then in 1979, radio stations in many different formats
found The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and Daniels
place as a big-time artist was secure.

New signage and lighting set for Stadium Park

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS Parks and Recreation Superintendent Craig Mansfield said there are two new projects
slated for this spring at Stadium
Park and the first is a mighty tall
order; replacing four stadium light
poles.
When we renovated the football
field, bleachers and stadium a few
years back, we removed two light
poles on the north side, he said.
The new stadium lights will have
deflective lighting focusing on the
football field and set higher above
the ground and closer to the bleachers. The existing lighting illuminates in many different directions.
In May, a new 32-foot wide football scoreboard will be installed.

The existing scoreboard is 17 to

18 years-old and replacement processors are extremely difficult to get
with a lead time of 6-10 weeks, he
said. Each cost $1,200 to $1,600
and we cant keep replacements on
hand.
Each summer, Mansfield replaces close to 250 bulbs on the existing scoreboard. Mansfield said the
cost of both projects will total a
minimum of $125,000. Funding for
the scoreboard was made possible
through a grant from the Arnold
Dienstberger Foundation, The Delphos Stadium Club, and Delphos
Parks, Inc. The new stadium lighting was funded by Arnold Dienstberger Foundation and The Stadium
Club.
Crews have been working diligently to prepare all five parks
- Waterworks, Garfield, Leisure,

Stadium and Gillmor Reservoir for

opening day on May 1 and gave this
list of updates:
The restroom facilities are now
open during restricted hours;
The ball diamonds will receive
a top dressing of Mule-mix 1516,
which cushions the diamonds and
absorbs water, in late April or early
May;
Tennis courts are ready to go;
and
The pool will be ready to go by
the end of April or early May with
the tentative opening set for Memorial Day weekend.
Mansfield said during the season, the pool will be open when the
ambient air and water temperatures
are above 65 degrees.

the delphos parks and recreation department is gearing up

1. Superintendent Steve Mansfield said there are two new

DELPHOS Imagine being a carefree 16-year-old with
your whole life ahead of you and you are told you only have
five years to live. That gets you to the ripe old age of 21 with
time to get some things done, right?
Thats the picture Lima resident Amber Payne a double-lung transplant patient painted for Jefferson Senior
High School freshman Friday during an assembly about
organ and tissue donation awareness and exactly what she
thought when she was given the news.
April is National Donate Life Month (NDLM) and serves
as a stimuli to prompt families to start a conversation about
their wishes and whether or not to register as organ and tissue
donor. According to Lifeline of Ohio, one life can save eight
and heal as many as 50 through tissue donation.

and duck races at the fairgrounds. The
money raised will support these two
great activities. Even though these activities are offered to the public free of
charge, they come with a price and the
committee needs help to provide these
activities.
Many groups, artists, and bands are
paid to perform at the free entertainment tent. The more popular acts can
and do cost $1,000 and more.
At the Peony Festival, the bounce
houses cost nearly $800. High school
bands receive $400 each to march in
the parade and the specialty groups like
Michigan Soul Steppers charge as much
as $2,000. The magic show this year
will cost $150.

PET CORNER
The Humane Society of Allen County has many pets
waiting for adoption. Each comes with a spay or neuter,
first shots and a heartworm test. Call 419-991-1775.

Chance used to be a
bait dog for dog fighting.
He came in the shelter
with bite marks and gaping holes on his back legs
as if he was chained to
something by his skin. He
of course came into the
shelter dog aggressive, and
was very scared of human
contact. A couple months
later after many skin treatments, affection and just
patience, he is a completely new dog. Chance will
be dog aggressive if a dog
charges at him, growls or
bites. But if your dog has
none of these problems
then he will be just fine.

Hello! Kate here! Im a

sweet little girl who loves
to strut around and play.
I came into the humane
society with my kittens.
We were found as strays
and that was pretty scary
for us. I cant wait to find
my forever home though,
it sounds like a lot of fun.
Come meet me today! You
wont regret it!

Aaron proves the model of consistency in record-breaking career

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
His nickname was Hammerin
Hank but it probably should have
been changed to Mr. Consistency.
Henry Aaron began his Major
League career at a time when cultural change was sweeping through
the game. Born to a poor family in
Mobile, Alabama, Hank had seven
brothers and sisters and precious
little money to spend on extras like
baseball equipment. His early love
for the game, however, drove him to
practice hitting by using bottle caps
as balls and sticks for bats. He attended Central High School and like
most all-black school systems of the
time in the South, Central did not
have baseball as an organized sport
so Aaron played for a local semi-pro
team, the Mobile Black Bears.
With little formal teaching, it
was up to his massive talent to carry him through his first few years
of baseball. In fact, early on Aaron
batted cross-handed, with his left
hand above his right as a right-handed hitter. Despite the awkward grip,
he became well known for his fast
bat and tremendous power. Later in
his career, Aaron said that if he had
known what he was doing, he would
have become a switch hitter since he
was already accustomed to holding
his hands like a left-handed hitter.
Aaron drew so much notice from
baseball scouts that during his junior
year in high school, he was given a
tryout by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Even though he was not offered a
contract, it kept him on the radar of
baseball officials and when he was 17
years-old he signed to play with the
Indianapolis Clowns of the American Negro League. He was so outstanding (.366 avg., 5 home runs, 33
RBI, 9 SB in 26 games) it only took
three months for two major league
teams to offer contracts: the New
York Giants and the Boston Braves.
Aaron later said he had the Giants
deal in his hands, but the Braves of-

fered $50 a month more, money he

could not turn down in order to help
his family. He lamented the fact only
that $50 kept him from later being
teammates with Willie Mays.
The Braves minor league
coaches quickly broke him of the
cross-handed batting style and he
raced through the system, winning
the Rookie of the Year and the MVP
award in his first two leagues. This
was despite being the first black
player in the South Atlantic League
where he often suffered through the
same type of racism and discrimination that Jackie Robinson had
seen a few years earlier.
Aaron broke in with the Braves
in 1955 and the next year took the
National League by storm, hitting
.314, 27 home runs, 106 RBIs, and
was named to the All-Star team. In
1956 he was named The Sporting
News National League Player of the
Year and in 1957 won the NL MVP
trophy while flirting with the triple
crown for most of the season.
His meteoric rise and instant success might have been the downfall of
some players but not the quiet Aaron.
Once he reached the major leagues he
settled into a high level of consistency
that would follow him throughout his
Hall of Fame career. Despite clubbing
755 home runs and eclipsing the mark
set by Babe Ruth that many baseball
analysts thought would never be broken, he never hit as many as 50 home
runs in one season, topping out at 47 in
1971 at the age of 37. However, Hammerin Hank hit 24 or more homers in
every season from 1955 through 1973
and 30 home runs or more 15 times,

Aaron Shatters Ruths Record

BY ED SHEARER
AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - Henry Aaron, refusing to yield
to the pressure that had to be gnawing at him, erased
baseballs unreachable standard Monday night when
he smashed the 715th home rune of his career.
I feel I can relax, said the 40-year-old Atlanta Braves slugger after leaving behind the ghost of
the great Babe Ruth with his two-run, fourth inning
blast off left-hander Al Downing of the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
I feel my teammates can relax and I think I can
have a great season, he said.
The icy-nerved veteran of 20 major league campaigns became the games all-time home run king
the same way he ended his chase of the legendary
Ruth with his record-tying 714th homer on opening
day - by hitting out the first pitch he swung at in the
game.
The historic shot triggered 11 minutes of bedlam
in Atlanta Stadium as a standing room only crowd of
53,775 cheered the soft-spoken Alabama native who
claimed baseballs most cherished record.
A call of congratulations came from President
Nixon while the famous No. 41 was still in the game.
Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, who ordered
the Braves to play Aaron in Cincinnati Sunday
called him one of the greatest we have ever seen.
If God didnt see fit for me to hit the home run
here, then I would have hit it somewhere else, Aaron said at a post-game news conference.
This would have to be my top thrill in baseball,
said the man who holds more than a dozen major
league records.
It wasnt one of my better ones, but the wind
helped to carry it, he said. I hit it fairly good. It
was a fastball. It was inside but I think he wanted it

both MLB records. He also eclipsed

40 homers eight times.
What many people who only remember his power often forget is how
fast Aaron was early in his career. He
stole 240 bases over his career, including a high of 31 in 1963. Even in 1968
at the age of 33, he stole 28 bases.
When Aaron was still hitting
home runs at an amazing clip late in

Do you remember when?

further inside. He just hung it a little.

Downing, a 13-year veteran who had yielded
only two other homers to Aaron, left the game after
walking the next two hitters following Hammerin
Hanks blast that drew the Braves even at 3-3. Atlanta went on to win the game 7-4.
The Dodger hurler vanished from the ball park,
leaving behind only a tape-recorded message in
which he said, Like any great hitter, when he picks
his pitch, hes pretty certain thats the pitch hes
looking for and chances are hes going to hit it pretty
good.
The flamboyant Ruth, whose feats will still live
forever in baseball lore, hit his final three home runs
for the Boston Braves against Pittsburgh on May 25,
1935. He died of cancer in New York in 1948.
The Babes widow, Clare, had not watched her
husbands record tumble even though the game was
televised nationally.
But she heard about it almost immediately and
dispatched a telegram of congratulations to Aaron
at the stadium.
The historic home run left the jam-packed stadium just in left field. It came after Darrell Evans had
reached first on an error.
Aaron rounded the bases in his normal manner,
although two young spectators charged out of the
stands and ran beside him between second and third
base.
When Aaron reached the plate, his teammates
had poured out of the dugout and sprinted in from
the left field bullpen to offer their congratulations.
They drank champagne toasts to the new homer king
in the dressing room after the game.
Aaron broke away from his mates and rushed to a
special box adjacent to the Atlanta dugout, where his
family watched the dramatic event.
REcORD/14

his career (1969-44, 1970-38, 197147,1972-34, 1973-40), it became

obvious he had the opportunity to
pass Ruths record of 714 homers.
Thousands of letters poured into
the Braves office, so many that the
club hired a secretary to help him
with them all. However, not all of
them were positive. Aaron received
death threats as he approached the

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

25 Years Ago
This week in 1990, Ryan White lost his battle with AIDS and died at the age of 18. White
had drawn national notice after being barred
from attending school over fears of his spreading the disease to the other students. He had
contracted AIDS after using an infected blood
clotting agent to treat his hemophilia at the age
of 13. White became the face of the disease for
many people, showing how it could affect those
outside the homosexual community.
Residents in Van Wert were upset over a
large rise in the water and sewer billing. Mayor Stan Agler explained the changes were
made because the department funds must be
self-sustaining and there had not been a price
raise since 1981. Also, EPA-mandated renovations had cost the city considerable money and
needed to be covered by more revenue.
Delphos Cub Scouts Pack 42 held its annual
Pinewood Derby. Winners in Class A included Andy Siefker, first place; Scott Baldauf,
second place; Patrick Flanagan, third place;
and Michael Joseph, fourth place. Class B, C
and D winners were Scott German, first place
and Brian Grothouse, second place; class B;
Kevin Deitering, second place, class C; and
Greg Grothaus, first place, Ryan Jones, second place, class C and Curt Gilles first place,
class C.

This week in 1965, U.S. Navy Phantom jets
battled North Vietnamese MIGs as American
forces delivered the largest air strike to date in
the war. About 220 Air Force and Navy planes
attacked bridges and other installations as the
violence continued to escalate in Vietnam.
After three weeks of the expanded bombing,
U.S. officials said 27 American and South

Vietnamese planes had been shot down while

enemy forces claimed 165 kills.

in the area. Fifty locals attended the report
which was created after a two-year study that
said local population would increase by two
percent per year for the next 25 years, service
industries would drive the next generation of
workers, and professional and technical workers would be in high demand.

75 Years Ago
This week in 1940, German forces faced
no resistance as they moved in to Denmark
and then launched a lightning offensive on the
southern and western coasts of Norway. British and French forces were steaming toward
the country with all speed but reports said that
Oslo had already fallen to the enemy.
Van Wert County Fairboard officials reported that $5,380 in total purses had been
set for a five-day speed program at the fair.
That was an increase of nearly $1,000 over the
previous year. The races would begin with the
annual Derby Day events on Labor Day and
then follow with harness racing on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Six Jefferson High School seniors placed
high in the general scholarship test which was
given at Van Wert. In the list of 19 honorable
mention, receiving certificates, Oliver Hoover
was third, Robert F. Hummer was fourth and
Elmer A. Gerdemann was sixth. Robert Lindemann, John F. Lindemann and Walter F.
Meade received honorable mention.

Remembering an old craftsman

the April 10, 1970 edition of the
Times Bulletin.)
JUST BETWEEN US, Marion
Flohra of 902 E. Crawford St. was
in to show a souvenir of the past - a
shoe button hook.
On the handle was the name of
the shoe store which put it out. It
was Leeson and Stanley, Van Wert,
Ohio. The shoe store was located
about where the Van Wert Bootery
is located today.
Marion recalled that Ben Leeson
was one of the owners of the store
and he also owned property north of
the city at about the old dump. Later, it is believed that Stanley got out

of the business and Leeson operated

it as Leesons Shoe Store.
The hook, we suspect, is maybe
about 60 years-old. That was back
in the good old days when there was
no income tax, Bryan was roaring
about free silver, The Ladies Home
Journal advertised shirtwaists for
women, sugar was four cents a
pound, and butter was 24 cents (My
that was dear.).
Civil War veterans still marched
in parades. That was when America

so dangerous, writers who reported positive items about Aaron also
received threats. Through it all, the
stoic superstar remained quiet and
just kept swinging the bat.
Here now is the April 9, 1974,
Times-Bulletin article detailing
Henry Aarons home run that passed
Babe Ruth in Major League history.

Irv says that this morning it was

not as bright as it has been.
Astronomer Leslie Peltier of Delphos says the comet, known as Bennetts Comet, was first discovered
over South Africa. It will be visible
here to the naked eye for a couple
more weeks.
Trouble is you have to get up
about 4 a.m. to see it.
Incidentally, Halleys Comet will
not return until 1985.

Communities Thrive
at the Library
This coming week, April 12-18, is the 57th anniversary
of National Library Week. Started in 1958, the celebration is
sponsored by the American Library Association.
We are proud of the Brumback Library, the first county library in the United States, which by all accounts has continued
to grow and prosper under the support of the local community.
Over the years the library has expanded its services and these
days, in addition to books, patrons can access e-books, magazines, DVDs, puppets, and other multimedia items. We consider ourselves lucky to have those kind of resources available to
everyone in the county.
Yet, at the same time, we worry about the state of reading
and literacy in our country, in Ohio, and in Van Wert County
when we examine some trends from the past few decades. For
instance, did you know the average reading level of an American adult is between the sixth and seventh grade? That means
if you grab the next person you see walking down Main Street,
they will read a book at the level of a 13-year-old.
A few years ago, Dan Poynter of BookStatistics.com pointed out 33 percent of high school graduates never read another
book after graduation and 58 percent of the U.S. population
never reads another one after the age of 18. Even more distressing, 80 percent of U.S. households did not buy or read a book
in the previous 12 months. Even the books that are bought are
not exempt from the falling numbers with readers not finishing
57 percent of the books they begin. More than half do not make
it past page 18.
Yet, as a nation, American adults spend an average of 2
hours per day watching television. We then turn around and
only devote 25 minutes a day to reading.
The numbers are even more staggering if we remove books
that are read for work or school purposes. According to a report entitled Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading
in America by the NEA, reading of literature in the U.S. had
fallen from 57 percent of the population in 1982 to 47 percent
in 2002. That means less than half of Americans read for pleasure.
Women (55.1 percent) read more than men (37.6 percent)
and people from the West Coast and Midwest are more likely
to read as well. There are more Southerners who do not read
than any other area of the country, but those who do read literature are voracious, averaging more titles per year than other states. Those who consider themselves religious read more
books than those who do not. If you belong to the Baby Boomer generation, then you are the most likely set of the adult population to read literature. One glimmer of hope is that recent
surveys have shown the 18-24 age group is reading more and at
a higher level than the preceding generation. Also, against all
predictions, they enjoy holding a physical book in their hands
to an e-reader.
Why is reading so important?
Readers earn more money, have better health, have healthier
children who live longer and do better in school, and find more
time to participate in enjoying the arts and sports.
This coming week the Brumback Library will be offering
extra services in celebration of National Library Week. Some
of these will include Family Story Night with guest readers,
Childrens Story Time, walk-in crafts, and a National Library
Week party for pre-schoolers.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of the excellent
facilities at the Brumback Library, not just next week, but
throughout the year. We also encourage you to pick up a book
and lose yourself in an adventure. Most importantly, if you are
a parent, we encourage you to read to your child whenever you
have the opportunity. It is an experience that will benefit you,
them, and the community.

THUMBS UP / DOWN
I would like
to offer a public thank you to
members of the
congregation of
First Church of God for moving me into my apartment on
March 14.

They also went to my

home and moved bags, boxes, and some furniture to my
storage unit.
God bless them and
thanks.

Philosophy of Charles Schultz

What parent hasnt felt a
little twinge of jealousy when
their child names a famous
person who has influenced
their life choices, be it Michael Jordan or some other
sports star, or perhaps a movie or music star.
How scary are the last
two? Right now, its easier
to find famous people in rehab than it is on Rodeo Drive
or in Hollywood. Few fit the
mold as role model except for
drug abuse, eating disorders,
and somewhat questionable
behavior.
As parents, we hope that
we have the most impact on
our childrens lives. We cultivate relationships with them
and try to foster the trust that
leads to us knowing what is
going on in their heads so we
can derail the crazy train
before it leaves the station.
I have come to the point in
my relationship with my child
that I dont have to always be
at the top of the list because,
at times, someone else may
be a better fit. I just want to
make sure I stay on the list.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz,

the creator of the Peanuts
comic strip. You dont have to
actually answer the questions.
Just read it straight through
and youll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five
Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America
Contest.
4. Name ten people who
have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners
for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decades
worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us
remember the headliners of
yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are
the best in their fields. But
the applause dies. Awards
tarnish. Achievements are
forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their

owners.
Heres another quiz. See
how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who
aided your journey through
school.
2. Name three friends who
have helped you through a
difficult time.
3. Name five people who
have taught you something
worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people
who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you
enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The lesson: The people
who make a difference in
your life are not the ones with
the most credentials, the most
money, or the most awards.
They are the ones that care.
They are the ones who have
seen us at our best and
worst and are still around
in spite of it.
They share in our celebrations and sorrows and provide
comfort and stability.
Youngsters may connect with these other people

On the
Other
hand
By Nancy
Spencer

through the sport, film or

song but long after they are
on to the next great thing, we
will still be here to hold their
hand, give them a hug and tell
them, Its going to be OK.
And they will remember.
It may take a while and perhaps they wont even realize
it until they have children of
their own and are looking for
guidance.
At the end of the day, we
tuck them in and hope for the
best for tomorrow and hope
we are strong enough to sit
at the sidelines and let them
figure it out.
Dont worry about the
world coming to an end today. Its already tomorrow in
Australia.

Eating cross-country
Have you ever had a craving for something specific to
eat, only to realize you are a
couple of hundred miles away
from anyplace that would
serve the dish you desire? Or
maybe youve run into this
dish that no one ever served
anywhere youve been.
It always used to work that
way for me when I would get
a craving for Cincinnati chili.
I did not grow up with Cincinnati chili the way my college roommate did. He lived
where Skyline and Gold Star
and a few others were just
part of the restaurant landscape. He introduced me to
the stuff in college.
Of course, he introduced
me to his familys homemade
version of it. With that much
cheese piled on top there was
no way I could dislike it. Ive
loved it ever since, and even
if I dont have time to drive to
Lima for a fresh bowl, a frozen version is awaiting me in
the frozen food aisle of several grocery stores. And while
that works well, not all re-

gional favorites like that are

available that easily.
I grew up in Indiana, and
one of my mothers homemade treats was sugar cream
pie. She made them at home
as several cooks would do
around my hometown. Sooner or later, there was another
version of sugar cream pie
turning up at church dinners
and fund-raisers in the area. It
was made in Winchester, Indiana, and distributed to local
grocery stores and it simplified the process to make pies
for visitors or for a bake sale.
Now there may have been a
few homemade sugar cream
pie recipes that were quietly
retired since it was easier to
go to the store to buy a pie to
take to dinner than slave over
an oven, rolling out dough for
pie crusts.
Every part of the country,
every part of the world, really, has food that is specific to
that region. One of my favorites in this part of the world
is the breaded pork tenderloin
sandwich. Its a midwestern

thing.
I have tried explaining this
delicacy to people from California, Colorado, New York,
and Florida only to be met
by blank stares as I described
the wonder of a slab of pork,
hammered flat, breaded and
fried, and slapped on a bun.
The sandwich does vary
slightly from place to place.
Sometimes you find the
Texas tenderloin which
comes as a piece of meat the
size of your head on top of a
bun the size of a nickel. Some
tenderloins are thicker, with
a little bit left in them while
others are pounded so thin
they are almost wafers. To be
truthful, I prefer the thinner
ones, although either will do.
I like to eat one when I go to
the speedway in Indianapolis
and also try to get someone
else to try one. Its not as easy
as you would think.
Around here, there is a
regional treat that most Van
Wert County residents forget
is regional. When I moved
here in the 90s, I kept seeing

My
Two
CenTs

Ed Gebert

this sandwich at ball games

and fund-raisers. I had never
heard of a shredded chicken
sandwich, and let me tell you
if you didnt grow up around
here, you probably had never
heard of it before. Its a local
thing. People in Fort Wayne
know nothing of shredded
chicken sandwiches.
Sometimes regional foods
go national, at least in fame,
if not in your grocers freezer. You ever have deep-dish
Chicago pizza? Good stuff.
Philly cheesesteak? Krispy
Kreme donuts? I first had
those when they were southern delicacies sold only south
of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Then, they escaped. Even
with all that gooey hot glaze,
they escaped.

YOUR OPINIONS
Delphos Relay for Life
is coming June 12
To the editor,
April has arrived and our local Relay For
Life planning is in full swing! This year, we
have changed our event to better fit our community. We will hold our Relay For Life on
Friday, June 12 from 6 p.m. to midnight. Many
people let us know that an overnight event was
too much. We listened and the American Cancer Society listened.
Now that we have a shortened event, we
need the good people of our area to join us
at the track! We are asking you to talk with
family and friends and form a team. All that
is required is that you register and join us on
June 12!
We will give you a space around the track
where you can set up a pop up tent and en-

joy the evening. A team can have any number

of participants. Family members and friends
can take part in the many activities planned
as well as be there to support our survivors
and caregivers.
Of course, you can fundraise at your site!
Bake sales, raffles, and more all contribute to
finding a cure. You are not required to raise
any specific amount of money. All donations
large and small are appreciated and celebrated!
When our survivors come out to the track
for opening ceremonies and walk that first
lap, they deserve our support. Wouldnt it be
wonderful to pack the track and show them
that our town cares? Please consider bringing
your family and friends out and be a part of
something that is special.
A planning meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Delphos VFW
Post. We hope that many of you will join us!
Sincerely,

Sandy Suever

Letter writer apologizes

for mistake
To the editor,
I wish to apologize to Mr. Mengerink for
the error in my letter to the editor regarding
the recent candidates meetings. In my attempt
to avoid naming names, I confused the role of
Stan Agler.
Again, my apologies to Mr. Mengerink. He
is quite right: not a single question was asked
of him, hence my disappointment in the quality of the presentations. It was never my intention to deliberately point a finger at him and
my letter did not endorse any candidate.

OPINION

A DHI Media publication

Lets not demonize all police

Condemning the police
for using deadly force against
unarmed persons makes an
assumption that unarmed
means harmless, writes
Tim Dees. One does not
have to have a gun to be a
deadly threat. An agitated
suspect wacked out on drugs,
with mental illness issues
and of superior size can pose
a serious threat to an officer
requiring a split-second decision to use deadly force.
Dees is a writer, trainer,
former law enforcement officer and criminal justice professor. His comments were
made in an op-ed piece in the
April 3 issue of USA Today.
Based on the number of
national protests the past
year, one would think over 95
percent of our law enforcement officers are out-of-control storm troopers, racists,
trigger-happy and prone to
using excessive force when
protecting the law-abiding
public.
No doubt there are a few
bad apples wearing badges
and carrying guns, but Id
prefer to recognize and support the vast majority of officers who defend, serve and
protect us against those who
wish to do us harm. Its a dangerous world. There are evil
people around. We need to
remember who we call when
we need emergency services
and are under attack.
We have crime-ridden areas of the country that are
adopting a culture that sees
law enforcement as the enemy. This is tragic. We need to
see our protectors as agents

for good. Our police officers

need to feel appreciated. We
cant appear to be siding with
the criminals.
Dees said, Troublemakers need to obey the law.
Their bad behavior forces
police officers to make life
and death decisions when defending themselves and the
public.
Lets say you are safe and
sound in bed at 2 a.m. when
a noise awakens you. You determine that someone is trying to break into your house.
You call 911 in a panic. You
dont know if the burglars are
armed or not. The 10 minutes
that it takes for a squad car to
arrive seems like an eternity.
The responding officer
comes to your front door
and you tell the officer you
believe two men are trying
to smash in your glass patio
door. The officer doesnt wait
for backup. He or she goes
into the dark to investigate
and begins a foot-pursuit of
the burglars into a wooded lot
adjacent to your property
something you would not do.
A few minutes later, a
second squad car arrives and
goes to assist the first officer.
They return a few minutes
later with two big, burly men
in custody. The suspects have
a long history of aggravated
crime.
This may not happen very
often in rural areas, but it
happens many times every
night on the mean-streets of
most major cities. Brave men
and women face life-threatening danger protecting us
from drug deals gone bad,

PeoPle
Make the

domestic violence situations,

bar fights and gang-related
savagery.
Lets be clear, there are
police departments with
rogue officers and they make
mistakes, use bad judgment
and are prone to using excessive force. They may need
more training. In those cases,
they need to be held accountable.
My point here is, recent
public marches seem to
blame all law enforcement
personnel for the actions of a
small handful of rogue officers. This outpouring of criticism has to be discouraging
to the 95 percent of officers
who do a commendable job,
and their families. Surveys
show minorities are less likely to agree.
Second-guessing police
actions in dangerous situations is a tricky business. Id
guess if the majority of protesters walked in the boots
of inner-city police patrol
squads for a month, they
would have a much different
opinion, and respect, of their
work pressures and stresses.
After high-profile police
shootings, the family of the
victim portrays their relative
as an innocent person who
was trying to clean up their
criminal behavior, but was
experiencing
depression,
needed professional mental health care and was only
acting out.
While unarmed, they were
not harmless.

adequate mental health care.

As it is, hundreds of thousands of at-risk people are
roaming the streets a disaster waiting to happen.
Dees said many people
ask him why police officers
dont shoot violent suspects
once in the leg instead of 10
times in center mass. Dees
said that sounds easy, but
in split-second situations, it
rarely happens. It only happens on TV police programs.
Police departments are
testing the use of non-lethal
alternatives to guns, such as
stun guns, pepper spray and
a device called The Alternative which uses a metal
alloy ball to stop most agitated suspects without killing
them. There is no one perfect
solution.
In many cases, the criminals are very heavily armed.
If your family member was
patrolling an inner-city war
zone, would you want them
armed with a stun gun when
the bad guys have assault rifles?
Law enforcement is a dangerous profession. In 2014,
126 peace officers died while
on duty including 50 by gunfire, 15 were killed by ambush
and 49 died in traffic-related
incidents, according to the
National Law Enforcement
Memorial Fund. Thousands
more were injured.

last thing we need is another
By Sen.
NAFTA.
Sherrod
Several years ago at my
Brown
own expense, I toured a Mexican auto plant. It looked very
similar to an American factory, with one key difference: the Mexican plant didnt have a
parking lot, because the workers there couldnt afford to buy
the cars they make.
Go around the world, and you see this same scenario across
continents and industries. In Bangladesh, in the clothing factories, the workers dont get paid enough to buy the designer
clothing they make. In Colombia, the workers in the flower industry dont make enough to buy the flowers they help to grow.
Go to China, where workers in an Apple factory cant afford to
buy the iPhones they are making.
Go almost anywhere in the world, in these developing countries where the U.S. either has trade agreements or where our
trade policy has had such impact that companies in the United
States have shut down, and witness this same story.
These workers dont share in the wealth they create. This is
what our trade deals force American workers to compete with
jobs that pay pennies per hour, and lead to a downward wage
spiral across the globe.
Our trade deals amount to corporate handouts and worker
sellouts. Thats why we cannot allow a fast track of Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP. We dont need another trade deal
negotiated in secret and rushed through the Senate.
Right now its easier for lawmakers to get information on
national security negotiations than trade negotiations. Staffers
with top security clearances arent allowed to see documents
alone, and even senators have to request special permission to
see them. And we can take a guess at what theyre trying to
hide more corporate welfare.
Trade policy should ensure a level playing field for all companies competing in a global economy not serve as a tool for
the richest corporations to ship more jobs overseas.
Particularly not when we are facing stagnating wages, increasing middle class insecurity, and rising inequality at home.
While corporate profits and CEO pay reach record highs, average wages are stagnating. Wages have fallen to a record low
as a share of GDP.
We need to invest in supporting workers with a living wage,
paid sick and family leave, and equal pay for equal work. And
we need to invest in infrastructure and innovation to expand
opportunities for average Americans.
We know that trade done right creates prosperity, and as a
progressive, I want trade that provides an onramp to the middle
class here at home and lifts workers from poverty in America
and around the world not another NAFTA.

Eight-run inning pushes Roughriders past Van Wert

Kaleb Jenkins entered, but another bases-loaded walk made it 6-1 before Jenkins
bounced back with a strikeout of Josh Young.
Jenkins may have escaped further damage
if not for another Van Wert error. A sharp
ground ball to third looked like at worst a
force play at the plate and possibly a double
play. Instead, the throw home sailed wide and
two St. Marys runners came across to score.
The next five straight Roughriders reached
base before Ethan Williams was called upon
from the bullpen. Williams put out the fire
with a pop up and a ground out, but the damage was done.
The Cougars have little time to dwell on
the loss; Van Wert hosts Elida and Napoleon
in a tri-header at Smiley Park on Saturday.
Thats the good thing about baseball:
we get to come back tomorrow and play two
games, Witten added.

VAN WERT St. Marys sent 14 men to
the plate and scored eight runs against three
Van Wert pitchers during the top of the fourth,
riding that frame to a 12-1, 5-inning win over
the Cougars in the Western Buckeye League
opener at Smiley Park on Friday evening.
Van Wert, however, had more than its
fair share of chances. The Cougars simply
couldnt capitalize.
We didnt have too many negatives offensively, except our baserunning, Van Wert
coach Charlie Witten said following the game.
There were two or three mental baserunning
errors that cost us outs or cost us runs.
The Roughriders (4-1) wasted little time in
attacking Cougar southpaw Brant Henry, plating a pair of first inning runs. Tristan Becker
jumped on Henrys first offering of the game
and drove a double to left, and he would score
on Isaac Fitzgeralds RBI single to left later
in the inning. With two outs, first baseman
Michael Hostreiter singled to knock in Nate
Wilker for a 2-0 lead. It was the first of Hostreiters three RBI in the contest.
Give them credit, thats a real good hitting ballclub, Witten said of the Roughriders.
Were in a real good league, and they are one
of the better bullclubs coming back.
After a rough first inning, Henry settled in,
working around a wind-blown double to open
the second. The Roughriders added a pair
in the third, but those runs came thanks to a
Cougar error.
Van Wert (3-3) had a golden opportunity
to change the complexion of the contest in the
home half of the third.
Second baseman Justice Tussing started

Van Werts Mason Carr (3) dives into third base as the ball gets past Roughrider fielder Logan
Maze. Carr, who was on base three times, was safe on the play, but was stranded at third. The
Cougars dropped to 3-3 with a 12-1 loss to St. Marys at Smiley Park on Friday night. (DHI Media/
John Parent)

the frame with an infield single up the middle,

beating a hurried throw to first. After Mason
Carr was hit by a pitch, Henry singled sharply
into center field, scoring Tussing.
Ryan Stoller was then hit by a pitch to load
the bases with a run already in and no one out
with the Cougars down 4-1.
That was as close as Van Wert would get,
however. The Cougars gave a run away when
the baserunner failed to tag up and advance
on Gavin Gardners would-be sacrifice fly to
center and, after a pop-up, Wilker escaped the
jam with a ground ball to end the threat.

It was the first of two innings that the Cougars would strand the bases loaded, part of 11
total runners they left on base in the loss.
Perhaps spurred by the momentum of the
bottom of the third, St. Marys came to the
plate in the fourth ready to add to its lead.
Back-to-back singles, followed by a walk,
opened the inning before Dustin Howell
walked on four pitches to force home the first
of eight runs in the inning. That spelled the
end of the day on the mound for Henry, who
would be charged with eight runs in total (5
earned) over his 3-plus innings of work.

DELPHOS When the wind is blowing out, it usually

means a long night with lots of offense. Such was the case at
Delphos Jefferson High School on Friday night as the Lima
Central Catholic Thunderbirds came to town, along with
wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, LCC brought along their
high-powered offense for a 17-2 victory in five innings.
The Thunderbirds were playing in only their second baseball game due to a a long basektball season and the rainy
spring weather. Lima Central Catholic appeared in mid-season form on Friday, however, pounding out eight hits, including five doubles and two triples, and scoring 12 times in the
first inning - nearly batting around twice.
Give LCC a lot of credit, they came out ready to play and
jumped on us early, said Wildcat head coach Doug Geary.
We are struggling with our pitchers early in the season putting together consecutive innings to get deep into the game.
Delphos Jefferson finally came to bat after a long top of
the inning needing some offensive fire power of their own.
Senior Gaige Rassman got aboard with a 1-out single to
center field for the Wildcats first hit. Gage Mercer followed
with an infield hit to short and Jefferson got on the scoreboard with an RBI single to center by Jacob Pulford, scoring
Rassman.
Thunderbird starter Ian Friesner escaped further damage,
however, getting the next two batters on ground outs. LCC
scored twice more in the top of second inning on only two
hits, but a pair of costly errors by the defense extended the
Thunderbird lead to 14-1.
Trevor Dudgeon led off the second inning for the home
team with the Wildcats fourth hit of the game but was erased
on a force out. Friesner retired the next three batters to maintain his teams sizeable lead.
A bright spot for the Wildcats was the pitching performance by junior Easton Siefker in the third inning. Siefker
cooled down the Thunderbird hitters by not giving up a hit
or a run.
Rassman led off the home half of the third inning with
another single to center for his second hit but was forced at
second as Gage Mercer reached on a fielders choice. Jacob
Pulford singled to put runners on the corners with only one
out in the inning. Senior Nick Fitchs grounder ended up in
right field to score Mercer, and the Wildcats trailed 14-2.

the Thunderbirds in five innings. (DHI Media/Larry Heiing)

The final runs of the contest were scored by the Thunderbirds in the top of the fourth inning on a pair of hits along
with three walks for the 17-2 victory.
The wind wasnt really a factor tonight because weve
practiced under these conditions before, and both teams
played today facing the same environment explained Geary.
LCC put the ball in play and made things happen. We need
to turn the page and see what we are made of. The good thing
about baseball is that there is always another game tomorrow
for a chance to get better.

CINCINNATI (AP)
Joey Votto hit a pair of tworun homers the strongest
indication yet that hes fully
back in form and Todd
Frazier had a tiebreaking
sacrifice fly on Friday night,
keeping the Cincinnati Reds
unbeaten with a 5-4 victory
over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Reds are 4-0 for the
first time since 2011, when
they won their first five
games. Theyve won each
game in their final at-bat.
Votto homered off John
Lackey in each of his first
two at-bats. Fraziers sacrifice
fly in the eighth off Jordan
Walden (0-1) marked the second time this week that hes
knocked in the deciding run.
J.J. Hoover (2-0) escaped
a threat in the eighth. Aroldis
Chapman gave up a hit and
fanned two in the ninth for
his second save.
Votto hit only six homers
last season the last one on
May 10 and didnt play after July 5 because of strained
muscles above his left knee.
He showed up for spring
training feeling strong and
has played to his 2010 National League MVP form so
far.
He had his first multihomer game since May 13,
2012, and the 10th of his career. In four games, Votto is 7
for 17 with three homers and
eight RBIs.
Votto had two singles
in the season opener, a
game-ending RBI single in
the 11th inning of the second
game, and a two-run homer

on Thursday as the Reds

swept the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Jason Marquis made his
first start in the majors since
July 19, 2013 with San Diego.
He had Tommy John surgery
and made nine appearances
in the minors with the Phillies last season as part of his
comeback.
The 36-year-old was in
line for the win, handing a
4-3 lead to the bullpen in the
seventh. Marquis retired 12 in
a row after Randal Grichuks
two-run homer. The Cardinals put together three singles
in the seventh, with Jason
Heywards hit up the middle
tying it at 4.
TRAINERS ROOM
Cardinals: Reserve catcher
Tony Cruz went on paternity
leave. Hes expected back on
Monday. Catcher Ed Easley
was called up from Triple-A
Memphis for his major league
debut.
Reds: RHP Homer Bailey
is scheduled to make his first
rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Louisville. Hes on the
DL recovering from surgery
on his forearm last September.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: Michael Wacha
has made six career appearances against the Reds, going
1-2 with a 2.30 ERA.
Reds:
Johnny
Cueto
makes his second start. He
threw seven shutout innings
but didnt get the decision in
a 5-2 win over the Pirates on
Monday. Cueto is 2-3 career
against the Cardinals.

Lady Cougars move to 6-0 with 7-3 win over St. Marys
BY JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
ST. MARYS The undefeated and
much-improved Van Wert softball team
passed its first Western Buckeye League test
Friday, topping St. Marys 7-3 in a well-played
game. The Cougars are 6-0 overall. It was
also the first league game for the Lady Riders, who are 0-3 overall.
Van Wert got a run in the top of the first
off of Jennifer Lauth, using a leadoff walk to
pitcher Kateri Steinecker, an opposite-field
single through the right side by left fielder
Emily Bair, and a 2-out line single down the
left field line by centerfielder Saige Royer.
That lead was short-lived, however, as St.
Marys centerfielder Allison Langsdon blasted Steineckers second pitch of the game far
over the fence in left center to tie it at 1-1.
The Riders took a 2-1 lead in the bottom
of the second on a walk, sacrifice bunt, and
single by second baseman Josalyn Schamp.
Van Wert, however, bounced back to take

the lead for good in the top of the third.

Bair led off with a walk, and second baseman Brooke Brown smoked a deep liner, but
right at Landsdon in center. Shortstop Tiffany
Ricketts forced Bair at second, but again the
Cougars scored with two outs.
Royer whacked a single to left, then both
Ricketts and Royer moved up on a wild pitch.
First baseman Samantha Rohrbacher ripped a
single to left, scoring both Ricketts and Royer
for a 3-2 Van Wert lead.
The Cougars struck for two more in the top
of the fourth off of reliever Langsdon, again
after two were out.
Steinecker blooped a single to shallow center, and Bair grounded a base hit through the
left side. Brown then found the right-centerfield gap for a 2-run double 5-2, Van Wert.
Brown and Steinecker switched positions to
start the bottom of the fourth, and Brown took
control in the circle, setting down the Riders
1-2-3 via three grounders on six pitches, all
strikes.
Van Wert pushed the lead to 7-2 in the fifth,
and this time didnt wait until two were out.

With one out, Rohrbacher reached when her

grounder was muffed by the pitcher, then went
to second on a passed ball. Substitute catcher
Miranda Stittsworth walked, then took second
with no throw. Third baseman Phoebe Eutsler
then doubled to the gap in right center, scoring
both Rohrbacher and Stittsworth. That double
brought on the Riders third pitcher, Rylee
Burd, who totally shut down the Cougar bats
the rest of the way.
St. Marys got an unearned run in the sixth
to account for the final margin.
The game was remarkable for outstanding
glove work. The Cougars had ten assists by
infielders five by Eutsler without an error. The Roughriders had seven assists and no
errors by their infielders.
It (the defense) is exceptional, said Van
Wert coach Mike McClure. Theyre just doing a great job, and, hopefully, thatll continue
through the rest of the year. Theyve matured
as ballplayers this year.
During her three innings of work, Steinecker gave up two runs, both earned, on two hits,
striking out two and walking one. She threw

50 pitches, of which 31 were strikes. Brown,

by contrast, went four innings and used only
41 pitches, 30 strikes, while walking one and
striking out nobody. She gave up one run, unearned, and three hits.
Van Werts hitting was led by Eutsler (2-for3, including a double, two RBI), Bair (2-for-3,
two runs), Royer (2-for-4, one run, one RBI),
Rohrbacher (1-or-4, one run, two RBI), and
Brown (1-for-4, a double, two RBI). Schamp
went 2-for-2 with an RBI for St. Marys.

Spieth re-writing Masters history

bY douG ferGuson
AP Golf Writer

Jordan Spieth hits out of the rough on the

14th hole during the second round of the
Masters golf tournament Friday, April 10,
2015, in Augusta, Ga. (Ap photo/David J.
phillip)

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Jordan Spieth made Friday feel like Sunday at the
Masters.
Fans rose to their feet and applauded when Spieth walked onto the 12th
tee, and for the next two hours, ovations
greeted him on tee boxes and greens.
The red number next to his name on the
leaderboard 14-under par was better than 11 of the last 13 winners.
It was easy to forget the Masters was
only half over.
When the 21-year-old Texan tapped
in for par and a 6-under 66, he broke the
36-hole record at the Masters that had
stood for 39 years. Spieth was at 14-under 130, a two-day total matched by only
three other players in major championship history.
And his five-shot lead over Charley
Hoffman looked even larger considering that Spieth was a runner-up in his
Masters debut last year, and he came to
Augusta this year as the hottest player in
golf.
I got standing ovations walking to

multiple greens, Spieth said. I mean,

thats something you can only dream
about. Its Friday, too. Id like to have the
same thing happening on Sunday. Got a
lot of work to do before that happens.
Hoffman tried to keep pace with Spieth and ran off three birdies on the back
nine until closing with a bogey for a 68.
He was five shots behind at 135, a score
that would have been leading at 36 holes
in the last three Masters. Hoffman didnt
care about that.
Its this year. Its not any other year,
he said. Im just playing golf and Ive
only played 36 holes. And weve got a lot
of golf left.
Dustin Johnson opened with a double
bogey, and then became the first player
in Masters history to make three eagles
in one round. A bogey from the trees on
the last hole gave him a 67, and he was
seven shots behind, along with Justin
Rose (70).
Tiger Woods showed more improvement with a 69 his first round in the
60s at Augusta since the fourth round in
2012 and was 12 shots behind going
into the weekend.

Bearcats take advantage of Ranger errors in 4-0 win

SPENCERVILLE The rainy early-spring weather has

been very uncooperative for baseball teams to get much of a
rhythm at the plate in the early going.
Case in point was Spencerville and New Knoxville combining for seven hits on a brilliant but windy Friday afternoon at
Spencerville High School.
Defense then came into play as the Bearcats scored four
times in the bottom of the fourth aided by three Ranger
errors in securing a 4-0 non-league victory.
Nothing but zeroes were on the Spencerville scoreboard as
the pitchers ruled the roost and the defenses held up their end
of the bargain until the home fifth.
David Wisher led off the Bearcat (1-4) frame with a walk
against Ranger starter Brandon Puckett, followed by a bloop
single to short left center by Justin Thierry and a free pass to
Jaret Montenery. With the Ranger infield drawn-in, Jacob Meyer bounced to short; shortstop Ryan Allens throw home was
not in time to get Wisher and it short-hopped catcher Hunter
McMurray. It got to the backstop, plating a hustling Thierry.
An error also allowed a hustling Montenery to touch the
dish, with the batter standing at third. He scored on a ground
ball to short by Brady Becker for a 4-0 lead. An error on Thad
Ringwalds grounder allowed him to reach safely and Mitchell
Youngpeter earned a 2-out free pass. However, Nick Freewalt
forced Ringwald at third for the final out.
Montenery was hit by a 2-out offering from Ranger reliever
Ben Menke in the sixth and stole second but remained there.
Menke snapped an 11-out string by Spencerville reliever

Meyer with a 2-out double down the right-field line in the seventh but Logan Leffel popped out to shortstop Wisher to end
the game.
The Bearcats mounted a first-inning challenge on a 1-out
grounder down the left field line by Meyer, a stolen base and
2-out walk to Ringwald, with Meyer reaching third on a passed
ball. However, both were left on base.
New Knoxville had an opening in the third on a 2-out
blooper to short right by Allen, a stolen base and walk to Adam
Howe. Nick Topp hit a soft liner to right for a base hit but Ringwald threw to catcher Youngpeter to gun Allen down at home
to end the threat unscathed.
Our pitching has been fantastic early; we have a 1.65
earned run average so far this spring. It was fantastic again
tonight, Spencerville head coach Troy Montenery observed.
The first two games, we had 12 errors. We had none tonight
and hopefully that continues. We got two of the three phases
tonight but not offense. We havent hit the ball at all so far this
year and we got some help from their errors tonght. We have
a long way to go to get production at the plate but Im hoping
just getting games in and seeing live pitching will be the cure.
New Knoxville coach Nick Schroer would concur.
Our pitching has been very good and was good enough
to win tonight. What has hurt us is we have one bad inning
defensively and its costly, Schroer added. Our offense has
not gotten it done at all; hitting in the cage isnt even close to
being outside and facing opponent pitching. However, that is a
common lament this spring for most baseball coaches.
Spencerville is tentatively slated to visit Miller City Saturday in a non-original-schedule game, while New Knoxville
hosts Allen East for doubleheader action Saturday.

Tigers stay unbeaten, drop Indians 8-4

CLEVELAND (AP) Alfredo Simon took a shutout into the sixth in his
debut for Detroit and Nick Castellanos
hit a two-run homer as the Tigers won
their fourth straight, 8-4 over Cleveland
on Friday to spoil the Indians home
opener in their remodeled ballpark.
Simon (1-0) allowed three runs and
seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. The righthander came over in an offseason trade
from Cincinnati and got his first taste
of what its like to pitch for one of baseballs best lineups.
Castellanos homered in the fifth off
Zach McAllister (0-1), tagged for a career-high 13 hits.
Carlos Santana had two RBIs for
Cleveland, which put the tying run on
deck in the ninth before Joakim Soria
struck out Michael Bourn with two on

for his first save.

Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez
each had three hits and an RBI for the
Tigers, who have outscored their opponents 30-5 to open the season. Ian Kinslers triple in the seventh was Detroits
fourth in their first four games a franchise first.
The Indians were excited to show off
renovated Progressive Field, which underwent a massive makeover this winter
with reconfigured bullpens, a two-story
bar and other enhancements.
The Tigers, though, were the ones
who looked at home.
Castellanos homer helped by a
stiff wind gave the Tigers a 5-0 lead
and chased McAllister. The Tigers were
hitting mostly bloops and finding holes
before Yoenis Cespedes opened the fifth

with a double.
Although they have a lineup loaded
with power, the Tigers, who typically
mash teams into submission, led 3-0 after four on 11 singles.
Down 5-0 and with a sellout crowd
more than antsy, the Indians strung together five straight hits to close within
5-3 and chase Simon.
The Tigers had gone 32 innings without giving up an earned run when Michael Brantley doubled to score Michael
Bourn. Santana followed with an RBI
single and Brandon Moss snapped an
0-for-12 start with a run-scoring single.
Al Alburquerque came on and got
Yan Gomes to hit into an inning-ending double play to preserve Detroits 5-3
lead.

A DHI Media publication

Gap remains
in video record
of fatal S.C.
police shooting
NORTH CHARLESTON,
S.C. (AP) Dashboard video
shows a police officer making
a routine traffic stop. Cellphone video shows the officer
shooting the fleeing motorist
in the back. What remains
a mystery is what happened
during the minutes in between
that led the polite officer to
become a killer.
The dash cam footage
released by state police on
Thursday showed North
Charleston Officer Michael
Thomas Slager pulling over
black motorist Walter Scott for
a broken brake light last weekend. Slager, who is white, has
been charged with murder in
Scotts death.
Saturdays traffic stop
opens like so many others as
Scott was stopped in a used
Mercedes-Benz he had purchased days earlier, footage
from the patrol car showed.
At the outset, its a strikingly
benign encounter: The officer
is seen walking toward the
drivers window, requesting
Scotts license and registration. Slager then returns to
his cruiser. On the dash cam
video, Slager never touches
his gun during the stop. He
also makes no unreasonable
demands or threats.
The video also shows Scott
beginning to get out of the car,
his right hand raised above
his head. He then quickly gets
back into the car and closes
the door. After Slager goes
back to his patrol car, minutes
later, Scott jumps from his car
and runs. Slager chases him.
Whats missing is what
happens from the time the two
men run out of the frame of
dashboard video to the time
picked up in a bystanders
cellphone video a few hundred
yards away. The cellphone
footage starts with Scott getting to his feet and running
away, then Slager firing eight
shots at the mans back.
It is possible for something to happen in that gap
to significantly raise the officers perception of risk, Seth
Stoughton, a former police officer and criminal law professor at the University of South
Carolina
Scott was more than
$17,500 behind in child support - more than $18,000 with
court fees - and had been in
jail three times over the issue.
He last paid child support in
2012, court records show, and
a bench warrant for his arrest
was issued in early 2013.

Deputies put
on leave in
violent arrest
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) A Southern California sheriff placed 10 deputies on paid administrative
leave Friday after a TV station recorded several of them
kicking and punching a man
following a 2-hour chase
during which the suspect rode
away on a stolen horse.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon
said the video disturbed and
troubled him and appeared
to show an excessive use of
force.
McMahon announced the
action after 30-year-old Francis Pusok was arrested Thursday by deputies in a violent
encounter filmed by a KNBC-TV helicopter. Pusok fled
by car and then on the horse,
traveling several miles while
deputies chased him on foot
after trying to serve a search
warrant in an identity-theft investigation.
The video shows Pusok,
dressed in bright red clothing, falling from the horse as
a deputy ran up and fired a
Taser. McMahon said the Taser was believed to be ineffective because of Pusoks loose
clothing.
As pursuing deputies
reached him, Pusok was face
down with his arms and legs
outstretched and hands behind
his back. One deputy kicked
him in the head or shoulder
area and punched him, and
another kicked him in the
crotch. Other deputies arrived
moments later.

STORY OF THE DAY

2 women killed in
Illinois tornadoes
By MICHAEL TARM And SOPHIA TAREEn
Associated Press
FAIRDALE, Ill. (AP) The two women killed by a
devastating tornado system that barreled through northern
Illinois shared a friendship, favors and, ultimately, a neighborhood that turned out to be a prime target of a twister that
also leveled much of their rural hamlet.
Jacklyn Klosa, 69, was found Friday morning in the rubble
of her Fairdale home, not far from where Geraldine Schultz, 67, died Thursday night when the tornado bore down on
their neighborhood. The storm cut through the region about
80 miles west of Chicago, injuring more than a dozen and
ripping buildings from their foundations.
Schultz, known as Geri, and remembered by neighbors
in the community of about 150 people as kind-hearted, hosted annual Christmas parties and made a point of driving Klosa to clinics for medical treatment. Klosa, known as Jackie, was described by friends as a friendly and quick-witted
woman who spoke her mind.
The county coroner said Klosa, who had no basement,
took shelter in her shower; she was found clutching her purse.
Klosa was just one of the most friendly people in the
world, a wonderful mother and a wonderful friend, said Les
Bellah, mayor of neighboring Kirkland, recalling the big
ol hug he got from her recently but also how shed let you
know if she was upset with you. You never had to wonder
what she was thinking.
At least two tornadoes touched down in the six-county
vicinity. Most of the injuries werent considered serious. To

Ill., on Friday, April 10, 2015. (AP Photo/Matt
Marton)
the south in Ogle County, no one was injured although the
tornado system caused severe damage to roughly 30 buildings in Rochelle and others in Flagg Township, according to
Sheriff Brian VanVickle who lost his own home.
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner declared both Ogle and
DeKalb counties as disaster areas, facilitating the use of
state resources in the recovery efforts.
We are very blessed that more people were not hurt.
This was a devastating storm, Rauner said in the town of
Flagg after touring the damage.
National Weather Service meteorologist Jamie Enderlen
said at least one tornado touched down near Fairdale and was
initially rated an EF4, meaning it was capable of producing
winds up to 200 mph. Damage survey teams were working
Friday to officially determine how long tornadoes stayed on
the ground, their strength and extent of the damage.

NEW YORK (AP) A

woman tied the knot 10 times
in an immigration scam and
is still listed as married to
four of the men, including one
who was deported because
of threats against the United
States, prosecutors said.
In a case unearthed by
the Department of Homeland
Security, Liana Barrientos
pleaded not guilty Friday in
the Bronx to two counts of
filing a false instrument an
application and license for her
2010 marriage to Salle Keita,
an immigrant from Mali.
Barrientos, 39, apparently
avoided detection for nearly a
decade, perhaps because each
marriage certificate was filed
in a different town or village
in the New York metropolitan
area.
When Homeland Security confronted her about the
host of marriages, Barrientos
denied ever seeing those 10
men, with the exception of
Mr. Keita, Assistant District
Attorney Jessica Lupo said in
court. In fact, since 1999 she
had nine other marriages.
The fake grooms were natives of Egypt, Turkey, Georgia, Pakistan, Mali, the Czech
Republic and Bangladesh.

Secret Service officer put on leave after arrest

WASHINGTON (AP) A uniformed officer in
the Secret Services Foreign Missions Branch was
put on leave and his security clearance suspended
Friday after he was arrested in Washington, the
agency said.
Metropolitan Police arrested Arthur Baldwin
early Friday in northeast Washington on a felony
charge of first-degree attempted burglary and destruction of property.

According to a police report of the incident,

Baldwin is accused of being armed with his service
weapon when he tried to break in to his girlfriends
house early Friday morning.
The report said two windows were broken and
the hinges to a door of the residence were damaged
in the incident.
Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy ordered
that Baldwin be placed on administrative leave and

Court records show Baldwin was to be arraigned
Friday afternoon. The records do not list an attorney for Baldwin and a telephone number could not

Baldwins arrest comes two days after a
high-ranking supervisor was also put on leave after

His Pakistani passport was earlier handed
over to court authorities.
Lakhvi was first granted bail in December
and a court ordered his release March 13 after
Abbasi filed a complaint that his client was being held unlawfully. But Lakhvi had remained
jailed amid mounting pressure on Pakistan to
confront extremists more actively. A court on
Thursday again ordered his release.
Lashkar-e-Taiba is an Islamic militant group founded by Hafiz Muhammad
Saeed, who now heads a charity known as
Jamaat-ud-Dawa, or JuD, which denies any
links to the armed group.
Lakhvi could not be reached for comment
after his release. A Jamaat-ud-Dawa official
denied a request Friday for an interview with
Lakhvi.
Pakistan has long viewed armed groups
such as Lashkar-e-Taiba as allies in its decades-long struggle with India over the disputed region of Kashmir.

(From page 5)
He embraced his wife, Billye, and his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert Aaron of Mobile, Ala.
I never knew she could
hug so tight, Aaron said of
his mother.
Herbert Aaron, a retired
shipyard worker, had thrown
out the ceremonial first ball almost an hour earlier. He jumped
out of the box to join his famous
son on the field during the
11-minute interruption.
A massive fireworks display was ignited amid cannonlike explosions in the
rain-chilled air.
Then came the only boos
of the celebration.
Monte Irvin, an aide to
Kuhn, said into a field microphone, The Commissioners
office He got no further.
Aaron smiled.
The fans were irked over
the commissioners order that
Aaron had to play in Sundays
series finale at Cincinnati.
Team officials and Aaron
took the position that Cincinnati fans had seen the
record-tying 714th off righthander Jack Billingham last
Thursday and that the sluggers hometown fans deserved No. 715.

The commissioner was attending a dinner in Cleveland

when he expressed pride at
Aarons accomplishment, but
no doubts about his decision.
Irvin presented from
Kuhn to Aaron a $3,000 diamond-studded wristwatch
with 715 imprinted on it in
gold.
Aaron was asked if he
thought he now might be considered the greatest baseball
player who ever lived.
I think I may be one of
the best, he said. But Joe
DiMaggio was one of the
greatest, and so were Willie
Mays and Jackie Robinson.
But I dont think Henry Aaron is fourth. He may be second or third. I would be in
there some place.
Lost in the excitement of
the home run mark was another surpassed Babe Ruth
record - extra bases on long
hits. Ruth stood at 2920 bases. Aaron now has 2921.
The Hammer also set a
National League record in the
second inning when he was
walked on five pitches.
The run was the 2063rd
of his career, moving him
one ahead of Willie Mays
and trailing only American
Leaguers y Cobb (2244) and

Babe Ruth (2174) on the alltime list.

Asked if he had any major
goals remaining, Aaron said,
I would like to break Stan
Musials record and become
the all-time National League
leader in hits.
Aaron currently stands
in fourth place with 3511.
Musial had 3630 during a
sparkling career with the St.
Louis Cardinals. Cobbs alltime mark of 4191 is out of
reach, but Aaron soon will
move into third place all-time
ahead of Tris Speaker, who
had 3515.
Asked what he would do
if he had the opportunity to
become a manager, Aaron
said that if there had not been
a black manager named at
that time, I would take the
job, but I dont want to be a
manager. I feel I can do more
working the farm system in
some respect.
Asked what Nixon had
said, Aaron replied: The
President just invited me to
the White House and he congratulated me. No, he didnt
mention any specific time.
It was, indeed, a day to remember for millions of baseball fans and the new Sultan
of Swat - Henry Aaron.

Park
(From page 1)
Mansfield said the parks
are open seven days a week
from opening day until November and he and his crews
will be busy with general
and daily maintenance of all
the parks including cleaning

restrooms, weed, litter and

debris control, spraying crabgrass preventer on all turf and
spraying weeds in parking areas.
We are responsible for
mowing close to 100 acres
during the season, Mansfield

detailed. The reservoir takes

from three to three and one-half
days to mow.
Applications for summer
employment lifeguards
and umpires are available
at the city building.

Organ DOnatiOn
(From page 1)
If it werent for a donor, I would have never lived to see 29 and have 100 percent lung
capacity, Payne said emotionally. I graduated from college, got married and now, my
husband and I are working on adopting a child
since I can not have biological children. I have
outlived 75 percent of those who had transplants close to the same time.
Payne gave a synopsis of the events that led
up to her transplant. She explained she was
born with cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects
both the lungs and pancreas and she had received the dominant chromosomes for the disease from both parents.
I was a geeky choir student who loved
participating in our school musicals; we
did Titanic, she said. Fast forward three
monthsmy lung capacity deteriorated from
60 percent to three percent.
She said she was in and out of the hospital
and by the age of 18, her lung capacity had stabilized and she was on her way out of Wapakoneta with a full scholarship to small college
in Ohio.
At the end of my first semester in 2004, I
knew I was in trouble. I did not have enough
energy to walk to classes and walk to the cafeteria to eat, so I was losing a lot of weight
on top of not feeling well, she said. I saw
a specialist and was told I only had six-to-12
months to live.
After moving back home, being bedridden
for 10 weeks, and fed via feeding tube, a suitable match was found and Payne endured a
12-hour surgery at Childrens Hospital in Columbus and spent 29 days recovering.
Payne said she is not cured and will have to
take immuno-suppressive medication for the
rest of her life.

I would love to meet the donors family

and I contacted them after the surgery, Payne
said. So far, they have not wanted to speak
with methe loss they experienced may have
been and still may be very painful for them.
These are US donation and transplantation
statistics given by DonateLife.net:
In 2014, more than 24,000 patients (close
to 65 per day) began new lives thanks to organ
transplants;
Nearly 124,000 people are currently
waiting for an organ transplant and more than
1,000 of them are 10 years-old or younger;
Nearly 58 percent of patients waiting for
lifesaving transplants are minorities;
On average, 150 people are added to the
nations organ transplant waiting list each day
equating to one every 10 minutes;
On average, 21 people die each day because the organs they need are not donated in
time;
A living donor can save a life by donating
a kidney or a portion of their liver, lung, pancreas or intestine;
More than one third of all deceased donors are age 50 or older; nearly eight percent
are age 65 or older;
Each year, there are approximately 30,000
tissue donors and more than one million tissue
transplants performed each year;
Nearly 50,000 patients have their sight restored through corneal transplants each year;
and
More than 121 million people close to
50 percent of the U.S. adult population are
registered organ, eye and tissue donors.
Visit lifelineofohio.org to learn more about
organ and tissue donation and/or to register to
become a donor.
