AARP slammed for not fighting SS cuts

WASHINGTON (AP) AARP, the powerful lobby for older Americans, was hammered Friday by fellow activists for refusing to oppose any and all cuts to Social Security benefits, a position the group says it has long held as a way to extend the life of the massive retirement and disability program. The group, which has 37 million Americans as members, adamantly opposes cutting Social Security benefits to help reduce the federal budget deficit, said David Certner, the organizations director of legislative policy. But for years AARP has acknowledged that cuts to future benefits may be necessary to improve the programs finances, he said. Our policy for decades has always been that we basically support a package that would include revenue enhancements and benefit adjustments to get Social Security to long-term solvency, Certner said. That has been our policy stated over and over again for, I mean, literally it has to be two decades, now. However, the issue gained major notice Friday as White House and congressional leaders continued to negotiate ways to reduce government red ink. Social Security has not been a part of those talks. Instead, negotiators have focused on potential cuts to Medicare, the government health insurance program for older Americans. In the midst of that, The

DELPHOS When the American Cancer Societys Relay for Life rolls around each year, it becomes more and more difficult to find someone who hasnt been touched in some way by the disease.

Nevertheless, the story set off a firestorm among Social Security advocates, who roundly criticized AARP as selling out seniors. Most advocacy groups oppose all cuts to Social Security benefits, even those that would affect only future generations, such as an increase in the retirement age.

Fathers fight for custody can be uphill battle

BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com Pate Hutson, 39, was a career military man when the World Trade Center attack took place. At that point in his life, serving his country was his greatest honor but that was eclipsed by the joy of fatherhood. Hutsons first daughter was born the year before the attack, which proved to be a deciding factor in what has become a 10-year-long struggle to simply be with his daughter. Many fathers feel as though they are fighting an uphill battle to gain custody of their children. There are varying opinions in the legal community but some believe there is a bias favoring mothers that makes equality difficult for fathers to gain. Hutson feels there is a bias but he says its not necessarily sexist he believes the courts are tipped in favor of residential parents, be it the mother or the father. In his case, he says his ex-girlfriend has sole custody because of false information concerning his military service. I was in the Navy and Naval Reserve for 10 years before I transferred to the Ohio National Guard six months before my daughter was born. I was going to be awarded joint-custody but that was until 9/11 happened. I was told her attorney told the judge he had a friend in the unit who told him we were going to be deployed to Afghanistan and I may not be back for up to three years. This was false, he said. I had only been activated for a few months and was never deployed to Afghanistan; I was deployed to the Lima tank plant. Nonetheless, that was what they based the custody decision on it was the only reason. I was told it was the unpredictability of future deployment. Here I am serving my country and Im losing my daughter because of it that was a real kick in the teeth. Many mothers who have

Pate Hutson, Gomer native sole custody encourage their children to have a healthy relationship with their father but other cases are just the opposite. Hutsons custody dispute is much like many fathers who contend with women who purposely keep their children from them. Hutson says his daughters mother has simply failed to follow court orders and the parenting plan has not been enforced. Part of his challenge is the financial expense of filing contempt papers every time she prevents him from seeing his girl. The court even permitted her to move their daughter to Louisiana about a year ago in good faith that she would follow the agreement she had never honored before. This has been a 10-year battle and every time I am supposed to see my daughter by court order, she refuses. She doesnt allow communication; when she lived here, she didnt allow me to stop by even with prior notice and she never allowed Wednesday night visits like she was supposed to. The court order says Im supposed to have my daughter every-other weekend, every-other holiday and for 4 weeks in the summer with 21 days notice. I gave that notice, then I went to Louisiana but she wasnt there when I arrived to pick her up. She has been doing this for 10 years and gets away with it because the court doesnt enforce the parenting plan. Children Services and the attorneys told me that unless See DAD, page 2

How i miss those hands

Sunday is Fathers Day a celebration of dad and all he does throughout the year. Happy Fathers Day to you all. I hope you dads enjoy your day in the spotlight. My father has been gone now for 13 years. There still isnt a week that passes that I dont think about him and wish I could share my hopes, joys and sorrows with him. One of the things that has stuck in my mind is my fathers hands. They were very capable and strong. The nails had grease under them from his long days working under the hood of a car. There must be a point when it just doesnt come off anymore. The knuckles were often knicked from a slipped wrench or screwdriver and the palms were calloused. Those hands held my mothers when they were married and then my brother and sister when they were born. Those hands held me when I came along. Those hands built our garage, added on the mud room and renovated our attic so my sister and I could have our own bedrooms. Those hands put fish worms on my hook because I was too squeamish to do it myself. Then they took off the fish I caught and at times filleted them for us to eat. Those hands built our cottage in Michigan that provided us with a vacation destination most weekends in the summer for nearly 20 years. Those hands clapped for me during band and choir concerts, after halftime shows during football season and during my high school graduation. Those hands then tentatively held my son when he was born. He said he was afraid because Cameron was so small. They also held him for the first two years of his life as he rocked him to sleep while I worked second or third shift. Those hands were on my sons back as he learned to ride his first two-wheel bicycle. I can still hear him shout encouragement as Cameron careened down the sidewalk, wobbling from side to side and squealing with

Libyan leader Gadhafi The Delphos says NATO will not win Herald
By ADAM sCHRECK and HADEEL AL-sHALCHi The Associated Press TRIPOLI, Libya Provoked by renewed daylight NATO bombing of his capital, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi raged against the alliance Friday, screaming his message and daring Western forces to keep it up. Gadhafi spoke in a telephone call that was piped through loudspeakers to a few thousand people demonstrating in Tripolis Green Square, at the end of a day when NATO intensified bombing runs across the capital. State television carried the Gadhafi message live, then repeated it a few minutes later. NATO will be defeated, he yelled in a hoarse, agitated voice. They will pull out in defeat. The sound of automatic weapons being fired defiantly into the air echoed through the square for hours as carloads of proGadhafi supporters many with children in tow crammed the streets lead(Continued from page 1)

delight. Those hands rested on my shoulders when he knew I needed to talk. Those hands shook my fiancs when they met for the first time many years ago. At the end, those hands trembled with fatigue from the many chemotherapy and radiation treatments to fight the tumors that were growing in his brain. They were held, rubbed and patted to let him know we were by his side like he had been for us so many times. Had he lived, I dont know if my father would have put on a bright yellow T-shirt and walked around the track as a survivor during the Relay for Life. He wasnt much on bringing attention to himself. My mom could have probably talked him into it. Perhaps not. He had a small stubborn streak. I can hear him say when asked to walk, I dont believe. However, he would have supported the Relay for Life because he would have known how important it is to those who are still battling cancer and those to come. He lost friends to the disease, too. I always have a hard time during the Survivor Walk because I would have loved to have seen those hands place a survivor medal around his neck. I am so proud of the ones who do walk. They show us there is hope. They show us not to give up. They show us that we are stronger than we think we are. They show us we can survive.

ing to the plaza. Although there was a large presence of police and soldiers in the square, many of those popping off rounds wore civilian clothes. Protesters and foreign journalists in the capital said it was one of the biggest such demonstrations since airstrikes began. Everyone in Libya wants Col. Gadhafi, not some traitors, Rajab Hamman, a 51-year-old engineer from Tripoli, said in the square as another demonstrator shot a magazine load of automatic rifle fire into the air a few steps away. These are the real, true Libyans, he said of the crowd. East of Tripoli, meanwhile, Gadhafis forces exchanged intense shelling with rebels who are slowly breaking the government siege on their western stronghold, the port city of Misrata. Doctors at the Hikma hospital in Misrata said nine rebel fighters and a woman living near the battle were killed and 30 others were wounded. Government casualties were not known.

Recreational boating fatalities reach record low

WASHINGTON The U.S. Coast Guard announced recently its official 2010 recreational boating statistics and noted that total fatalities fell to a record low of 672. The 2010 record is four fatalities less than the previous low in 2004, and is 26 deaths lower than the average number for the past 10 years. While the drop in fatalities is a positive sign, the Coast Guard cautions that the number still represents nearly two deaths per day and remains resolute in its commitment to preventing boating fatalities. Were glad to see the numbers decline, said Rear Adm. Kevin Cook, director of Prevention Policy for the U.S. Coast Guard. I am optimistic that the number of deaths

I have available but to look at the child as the hub, then go to all those other areas and look at what time the child has available and how that will coincide with each of the parties. Hutson says when one parent has sole custody, courts refuse to upset the childs stability by granting custody to the nonresidential parent. He believes his case warrants exception but he understands the courts challenge. They know shes keeping me from my daughter but I believe they get jilted by hearing the same basic stories over and over and over he says this and she says that., he said. Who do you believe? When you look at this case on the surface, it looks like all the rest of them. The mechanics are the same in that one parent is challenging to get custody while both of them want it; they dont like each other and it moves on. The problem is the court assumes both of us are behaving in an illogical or unreasonable way and that isnt the case because only one of us is guilty of that. In the meantime, Hutsons heart is being dragged through the courts year after year. The nightmare of having your child be allowed to be taken 1,000 miles away is like living in a surreal horror movie especially when you have a 10-year history of non-compliance, he concluded.

and injuries can continue to be reduced further because of the strong commitment to safe boating from our partners in the states, non-government advocacy groups, and the boating industry. Total reported accidents were 4,604 in 2010, down from 4,730 in 2009, while injuries totaled 3,153, down from 3,358. Property damage was estimated at $35 million. The top five primary contributing factors in accidents are operator inattention, improper lookout, operator inexperience, excessive speed, and alcohol use. Alcohol use was the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents, and it was listed as the leading factor in 19% of the deaths. Statistics indicate a clear link between safety and boating education that boaters who have taken a boating safety course are less likely to be involved in an accident. In addition, almost three-quarters of all fatal boating accident victims drowned; and of those, roughly 90 percent were not reported as wearing a life jacket. Tragically, so many of these deaths are needless and could have been prevented had boaters taken some simple steps such as taking a boating safety course, not drinking and boating, and always wearing a life jacket, said Cook.

Dads takin care of business

In this Practical Money Matters piece, Mr. Alderman shares how dads can ensure theyve taken adequate precautions to protect their families financially both now and in the future. BY JASON ALDERMAN With Fathers Day upon us, dads everywhere are gearing up for an avalanche of gifts and I love yous from their spouses and kids. If you really want to return their affection, think about what you can do to protect your family financially. All it takes is a little organization and learning how to correctly allocate your resources. First, get insured. If your family depends on your income, you must be prepared for lifes unexpected events whether an accident, illness, unemployment or death. Make sure youve got adequate coverage for: Health insurance. Everyone needs medical insurance, no matter how young or healthy. Just remember: Lowerpremium medical plans arent necessarily cheaper overall; you also need to factor in co-payment, deductible and prescription amounts, in- and out-of-network charges, coverage limits and exclusions when choosing a policy. Homeowner/renters insurance. Dont let theft, fire, faulty plumbing or other catastrophes leave your family without a home or possessions. Life insurance. Depending on your familys size and ages, youll probably want coverage worth at least five to 10 times your annual pay; more, if you want to cover college costs. And dont forget to insure your spouses life so youll be protected as well. Disability insurance. Millions of Americans suffer a disability at some point during their working years that is sufficiently serious to make them miss work for months or years at a time; yet many forego disability insurance, potentially leaving them without an income after a serious accident or illness. Learn details of your employers sick leave and short-term disability benefits ahead of time, and if long-term disability is offered, its probably a worthwhile investment. Start saving. To ensure your familys financial security, you need to make regular contributions to several savings vehicles: Establish an emergency fund with enough cash to cover at least six months of living expenses. If that goal seems unattainable, start small: Have $50 a month from your paycheck or checking account automatically deposited into a separate savings account. Even if retirement is decades away, the sooner you start saving and compounding your interest, the faster your savings will grow. If your employer offers 401(k) matching contributions, contribute at least enough to take full advantage of the match:

STATE/LOCAL

A 50 percent match is the same as earning 50 percent interest on savings. Once those two accounts are well-established, open a 529 Qualified State Tuition Plan or a Coverdell Education Savings Account to start saving for your childrens education. Get organized. Make sure your affairs are in order in case something should happen to you. With your spouse, organize files for: Medical, homeowner/ renter, auto, life, disability and long-term care insurance policies. Banking, credit card and loan accounts, including passwords. A will (and possibly a trust) outlining how you want your estate managed after death. Durable power of attorney and health care proxy specifying who will make your financial and medical decisions if you become incapacitated. Also, a living will tells doctors which medical treatments and life-support procedures you do or dont want performed. Birth certificate, marriage license, Social Security card, funeral and burial plans, safe deposit box information and other important paperwork.

By now you will have seen pictures in The Herald and informational posters all over Delphos talking about next weeks Mayberry Celebration on the square near the Fort Restaurant in Fort Jennings. On Friday, Fort Jennings will become the home for a family-oriented celebration of a time when Opie would get his fishin pole and hang out with his Dad and Barney Fife was out to Nip it in the bud. Get there by 6 p.m. and enjoy a wonderful evening of fun, food, games and lots and lots of prizes. Weve built a mighty fine Jail for those that need to be taught a lesson or two. And you can be the proud person that puts that perpetrator in the slammer. All proceeds will benefit the Museum of Postal History. Of course 54 of your friends and neighbors wont be able to celebrate in Fort Jennings Friday night; because they will be at the Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C., witnessing the amazing Evening Parade featuring the Marine Corps Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, and the Silent Drill Platoon. Well be leaving at 7 a.m. on Monday morning headed for Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. Still have two seats left. As a courtesy, I receive newsletters, magazines and articles about postal services, stamps and postal history from all over the world. In a recent publication of the Philatelic Collections Newsletter published by the British Library Jason Alderman directs Philatelic Collections of London, UK, I Visas financial education came across an interesting article about the programs. Universal Postal Union (UPU). This organiza-

tion founded in 1874 and sporting members from 191 countries has been the glue that has kept the international exchange of mail an equal partner with domestic mail and has set uniform rates. Prior to 1874 (remember Sir Rowland Hill invented the adhesive postage stamp in 1846) mail traveling from one country to another relied on individual treaties to sort out the differences in postage rates, currencies, and routes. In most cases, this was a very cumbersome process. There are numerous functions for this group to regulate and legislate policies that are universal in nature, be it, stamp design or processing and delivering international mail. I would like to discuss just one of the programs that is endorsed by the UPU. It is called World Post Day and it is celebrated on October 9th every year. That was the date of the UPU birth some 137 years ago. Why do I focus in on just this one activity? Because when you read about what this day stands for and what the philosophy behind states, you will realize that philosophy falls right in step with our Mission Statement for the Museum. The purpose of World Post Day is to create awareness of the role of the postal sector in peoples and businesses everyday lives and its contribution to the social and economic development of countries. The celebration encourages member countries to undertake programme activities aimed at generating a broader awareness of their Posts role and activities among the public and media on a national scale.

Frailty, thy name is no longer woman. Victor Riesel, American labor journalist (1913-1995)

IT WAS NEWS THEN

One Year Ago The Marbletown Festival Committee announced Thursday it was accepting items for consideration for the time capsule that will be buried at Garfield Park later this year. Memorabilia can be dropped off at the Delphos Herald. A panel of independent judges will choose the items for the time capsule. 25 Years Ago 1986 Tom and Melody Schimmoller have purchased full interest in The Golden Nugget, 227 W. Fifth St. The Schimmollers, owners-operators of Delphos Poultry Products, South Pierce Street, have done extensive remodeling and planning more. New full-time manager of the restaurant is Judy Green of Delphos. Recently joining the staff is Chef Scott Gerdeman with over five years experience as a chef. The Bad News Bears ran their record to 3-0 with a 13-10 win over the Softball Sisters in Girls 5-6-7 softball. Leading hitters for the Bears were Kim Brunk, a triple and a double, Jenny Altenburger, triple and Cheryl Schimmoeller, double. Charles R. Nulty was sworn in as commander of Allen County American Legion. He is a member of Delphos Post 268. Other officers are Angelo Fedele second vice commander and John Harbert, first vice commander. Myrle Brady, past national committeeman of American Legion, administered oaths. 50 Years Ago 1961 Karen Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Berry, will represent the Delphos Chamber of Commerce in a beauty contest on June 25 at Bledsoes Beach, Lake James, Indiana, according to chamber spokesmen. The contest, sponsored by Fort Wayne radio WOWO, will be one of the highlights of the 1961 Beach Ball on June 23-25. Results of the state Teen-age Road-E-O contest held in Portsmouth last Sunday were released by spokesmen for the Delphos Junior Chamber of Commerce who sponsored the local contests. The local girl winner, Linda Knerr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Knerr, took 34th place in the contest. The local boy winner, Ed Porter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert I. Porter, placed 48th. Officers elected at a recent meeting of the Fort Jennings Americal Legion are: commander, Elmer Dickman; first vice commander, Ralph Ostendorf; second vice commander, Linus Vetter; adjutant, Paul Schumaker; finance officer, Harold Miehls; publicity officer, James Klausing; chaplain, Art Gasser; sergeant-at-arms, Julius Recker; historian, Don Von Lehmden; executive committee, Bob Good, Richard Warnecke and Tom Swick. 75 Years Ago 1936 A rain and wind storm visited Delphos and vicinity Wednesday evening, causing some damage but also bringing much benefit. Farmers in this vicinity will find the rain very profitable as all crops will benefit much from it, the weather having been dry and the rain much needed. The canvas top of the dance pavilion on East Second Street was torn in several places and repairs are now being made. Anthony Stepleton, son of Mrs. Tillie Stepleton, has been given a promotion in C.C.C. Company in Idaho. The young man enrolled in the C.C.C. back several months ago and was one of the few enrolled at that time who were sent out of state. He has been made assistant Education Advisor by his company and has charge of the library and correspondence courses and also with the camp paper. A picnic for the members of the Queen Esther Society Circle of the Methodist church was held at the church Wednesday evening. Arrangements had been previously made to hold the picnic at Peltiers Grove, but because of the inclement weather, the plans were changed. The girls played dart ball following the picnic supper. The team captained by Armeda Van Meter was most successful.

Moderately confused

A communication has been received from the authorities who are going to make the presentation of the Victory and Defense Medals, in order to clarify an article submitted recently to the Herald for publication. These medals will be formally presented in the near future at a public ceremony. It is stated that these medals will be presented to all World War No. 2 veterans regardless in what branch of service they served. No veteran is required to belong to a veterans organization to receive the medals. The V.F.W. has been designated to arrange for the formal presentation and to make arrangements for the programs. The military officers, not yet selected, as well as the V.F.W. post and the committee in charge are asking all men in this community entitled to receive the medals, to make application blanks and prepare to participate in the ceremonies. The local committee will meet this evening to iron out the details with the military officers in charge and notification of the plans will be made in the near future. The V.F.W. committee will start immediately after the regular meeting this evenign to assist any veteran in filling out his application blank. Some members of this committee will be in the local hall each evening thereafter until the deadline for filling out applications, to lend assistance. Delphos Herald, Sept. 18, 1947 ---------Wants Old Delphos Pictures Paul Kaufman, photographer in the Phelan Hotel, states that he is having good success in his campaign to secure pictures of the city of Delphos in days gone by which will be used in a brochure which is now being prepared in his studio. A call was issued by Mr. Kaufman several weeks ago for local citizens to search in their attics and old trunks for interesting pictures have been received but Mr. Kaufman states that he still needs several pictures to make his collection complete. He is calling for any pictures of the canal or canal locks in Delphos and especially does he want a picture of one of the boats passing through the lock. He is also looking for a picture of the first locomotive which was brought to Delphos on a canal boat. Such pictures will be appreciated by Mr. Kaufman and also by the Delphos Chamber of Commerce, who is sponsoring the brochure. Delphos Herald, Sept. 9, 1947 ---------Hearing to Close South Washington Crossing The proposed closing of the South Washington street crossing over the Pennsylvania railroad will be aired before the Ohio Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday, September 9, at Columbus. This crossing matter has been the subject of much discussion between the city and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company officials. The Pennsylvania railroad is seeking to close the crossing permanently and local businesses and industrial concerns are fighting to keep the crossing open to traffic and to have the company install a flasher signal and automatic gate. The railroad company contends that the crossing is not needed and its closing there would eliminate the trouble. The abutting property holders refused to sign the petition for the abandonment. The railroad company then decided to keep the gate protection system at the crossing. They said that the gates would be kept in a lowered position at all times and would only be raised when vehicles signaled that they wanted to cross. The gate is operated automatically from the interlocker tower at the crossing. This system, however, has not proved satisfactory and many complaints have been received by city officials. A local attorney has been employed by the Delphos Chamber of Commerce jointly with the several local

industries and businessmen to fight the case at Columbus on Tuesday. The city of Delphos will also be officially represented at the hearing. Delphos Herald Sept. 6, 1947 ---------Delphos Will Receive Gun as War Trophy Delphos is to receive a memorial of the World War. A telegram from Hon. Frank Kniffin, congressman from the Fifth District, was received Monday morning by Claude Bergfeld, post commander of the local Legion, stating that Delphos will receive a 105 mm. howitzer. This is a large gun with a total length of 16 feet and 10 inches. It weighs 3,330 pounds. The Legion recently made application with Mr. Kniffin for a gun for Delphos, and held a meeting to make selection from among four trophies which were available. The message from Mr. Kniffin gave assurance that the trophy would be sent to this city. The exact location for the gun has not as yet been decided. It is planned to build a concrete foundation for it. (Does anyone know what happened to this gun? This was not the Civil War cannon. R.H.) Delphos Herald, June 6, 1931 ---------Delphos Knights May Ride in Akron Blimps Henry Imholt, grand knight of Delphos council, Knights of Columbus, with others of the organization, will attend the annual K of C state convention at Akron, May 10, 11 and 12. He says one of the outstanding features, being a visit to the huge GoodyearZeppelin airship dock, where the first of two largest airships in the world is under construction for the United States Navy. Goodyear has arranged to have two or three of its airships at the dock to carry visitors who may wish to look down upon Akron from the air. Already a number of Knights have expressed a desire to ride the blimps. The dock is the largest building in the world without interior support. Delphos Herald, Apr. 29, 1930 ---------History of Allen County Fair First Allen County (Delphos) Fair was held in August of 1920. Since this is the Silver Jubilee, twenty-fifth anniversary of the Allen County Fair, Art Wulfhorst, city auditor, and secretary of the fairboard for a period of over twenty years, has written a history of the event as follows: The Allen County Fair at Delphos was organized in Oct. 1919 and the first was held the last full week of August 1920. The name of the organization was Delphos Tri-County Fair, Inc. Public spirited business men and others have visited the Wells County Fair at Bluffton, Ind., called a meeting and invited the managers of the Bluffton Fair to Delphos. At a joint dinner meeting of Bluffton and Delphos Fair Boosters, at the Phelan Hotel, the first organization was affected. Since then 24 fairs have been held and this fair is the 25th. Originally, the portable fair equipment was owned jointly with Bluffton but for a number of years, all equipment used by the Allen County Fair in Delphos is owned by the Allen County Agricultural Society, Inc. The present title of the Allen County Fair Organization was assumed when the old Allen County Fair organization had forfeited its charter by reason of having failed to conduct a county fair for several years. The Allen County Fair has been for the past several years a full fledged county fair, as prescribed by the laws of the state of Ohio concern-

ing such annual events. The cost of the fair is paid in part by contributions made by Allen County under state laws and donations by businessmen and other public spirited people. The greater part of the cost, however, is derived from income produced by the fair itself. The wonderful support given by agriculturists, stockmen and other exhibitors and workers has made it possible to make the fair bigger and better each year. Their cooperation has made the slogan show what you grow and share what you know, more than just another idle boast. Delphos Herald, Aug. 18, 1945 ---------Contracts Cancelled Eleven factories in Lima have received cancellations of contracts totaling $4,716,277. These contracts were for war ordnance work. The cancellation of these contracts will probably affect a number of Delphos persons who have been working in such plants in Lima. Delphos Herald, Aug. 18, 1945 ---------Marian Township Schools Sold The sale of one-room Marian Township schools, outbuildings and equipment brought the amount of $1,285 according to William Gladen, clerk of the Delphos Board of Education. The schools were sold Monday at public auction on the premises of each of the five schools. Ed Eicholt served as auctioneer. The five schools were allotted to the Delphos Board of Education when the Marian Township board of education disbanded. The properties belonging to the Marian Township school district were divided among Delphos, Elida and Gomer school districts. The Hunsaker school, a brick building, was sold for the smallest amount. The building was purchased by C.W. Hunsaker for the sum of $25. The sale price was low because the building would have to be torn down to be moved. The Scotts Crossing school, a frame structure, was purchased by Leroy Vernon Leist for the sum of $221. The ground was also sold at the Scott Crossing site. The parcel was bought by the Leists for $165. This was the only land sold. The grounds occupied by the other schools will go back to the original farms. The Bliss school, a frame building, was sold to the Delphos Volunteer Fire Department for $127. They purchased the building for a club house. They have already leased the land at the same location. The Volunteer Firemen plan to abandon their lease on the farm house now used by them as a club house east of Delphos. Henry Elwer purchased the Bockey school house for $100. This is also a frame building. The buildings must be moved from the land within thirty days according to law unless purchaser and landowner can agree on other arrangements. Delphos Herald, Aug. 16,1938 ---------Marks Meat Market Being Moved Jacob Marks, owner of the West Side meat market, which has for years been located in the west room of the Opera House block on Second Street, is moving his outfit to the corner room in the same block, at Second and Canal streets, where he will have a better location and much more room for the growing business. It is the intention of Mr. Marks to fit up the room in a most inviting manner and provide many conveniences and improvements. Delphos Herald, March 3, 1911 ---------Van and Von Names It is a common mistake of those who speak English to suppose that the prefix van before a Dutch name signifies nobility. In the low countries that is in the kingdoms of the Netherlands and of Belgium van has no particular meaning. Names with van are to be read on shops, as well as on the doors of the most aristocratic man-

sions. The humblest persons have them, as well as the most exalted, and a great number of the very oldest families are without it. But in Germany, von implies nobility, and all persons who belong to the nobility, prefix von to their family names without exception. Persons who do not belong to the nobility cannot have the right to put von before their names. A man who is knighted for some reason, however, has the right to put von before his family name, the same as a person of ancient nobility. For instance, when Alexander Humboldt was knighted, he became Alexander von Humboldt. All his descendants, male and female, take prefix. From Philadelphia Press Delphos Herald, Oct. 18, 1898 ---------Peddlers In Mexico While traveling in Mexico a few years ago I had a funny experience with a Mexican vendor which goes to show what little business ability the lower classes have, said E.F. Guignon, of St. Louis. I was en route to look at some mines away up in the mountains. At the station where we left the train to take the stage I saw an old woman selling some honey. She did not have more than ten pounds of it altogether and as it looked so good, I wanted to buy it all to take it along with us. I asked our interpreter to buy it. Much to my surprise the old woman would sell him but two boxes, claiming that if she sold it all to him she would have nothing to sell to other people, neither would she have anything else to do during the remainder of the day. Denver Republican Delphos Herald, Oct. 13, 1898 ---------Preparing to Return Dead Next of kin of members of the Armed Forces or of civilians who died overseas while in the service of the United States during World War II were urged today by the Ohio Military District to report any change in their address to the office of the Quartermaster General, Memorial Division, Washington 25, D.C. This will facilitate plans of the War Department to carry out all feasible wishes of the next of kin in connection with the return and reinternment of the valiant dead. ---------Fire Destroys Violet Barn A damaging fire took place shortly after noon on Friday when a barn on the C.O. Violet farm on the old Harding Highway, east of Delphos, the old Wright farm, was destroyed by fire. Practically all of the contents were also destroyed. The origin has not been determined. Mr. Violet, well known Delphos livestock dealer, stated there was partial insurance on the structure. The Delphos community fire truck was called to the scene and did excellent work in keeping the other buildings from burning. The Violet house which is located on the south side of the road, was in flames twice, but was extinguished by the men who accompanied the community truck. The truck was taken to the scene of the fire by Delphos Fire Chief Lewis Leonard. He was accompanied by Vol. Firemen Paul Stallkamp and Lee Vogt. Although there was no livestock in the structure, a quantity of hay and straw was burned and a number of farm implements in the barn were destroyed. Delphos Herald, Oct. 10, 1947 ---------Gold In Ohio Excitement following the discovery of gold at Malvern, Ohio, and the extensive plans made for mining it continues unabated and the little town is crowded with strangers. The hamlet of scarcely 500 souls has been transformed into a veritable Western boom town. The gold quartz vein has been probed for 90 feet. It is 4 feet deep and 6 feet wide. At all points the quartz is rich. Speculators are buying up all the land in the vicinity at fancy prices. Delphos Herald, Oct. 24, 1898

Jefferson wins on 9-run, 7th-inning rally

By KIRK DOUGAL Times Bulletin Editor kdougal@timesbulletin.com MIDDLE POINT - In a game that saw three late-inning rallies, Jefferson trumped Lincolnview by coming from behind to score nine runs in the top of the seventh inning and win a wild ACME baseball contest in Middle Point on Friday night, 18-10. Trailing 8-7 in the top of the fifth inning, the visiting Wildcats scored two runs when Mike Joseph doubled to lead off the frame and then moved to third on a passed ball. Two outs later, Zach Kimmet drove him in with a bloop single to right to tie the game. Kimmet then crossed the plate on a Drew Kortokrax triple to left-center, his second of the game to the same spot, giving his team the 9-8 lead. Lincolnview answered in the bottom of the sixth. Kyle Williams walked to lead off and Clayton Longstreth plated him with a triple to right, his third extra base hit of the evening. Mike Klausing followed with a single to center and the Lancers held a 10-9 lead. That single drove Jefferson starter Jeff Schleeter from the mound and brought on Jordan Herron. He got the next three Lancers out on two strikeouts and a ground out to stop the threat. That left Lincolnview needing just three outs for the win. Joseph led off with another base hit, this one a single, before Tyler Wrasman reached base on an error. Following a strikeout, Joseph scored on a wild pitch and Kimmet and Kortokrax walked to load the bases with one out and the score tied at 10-10. Kyle Anspach stepped to the plate and delivered a 2-run double to right-center, giving the Wildcats the final lead change. Two more walks and an infield single loaded the bases again with a 14-10 count and still only one out. Joseph came up for the second time in the inning and lifted a deep fly ball to right that skipped off the outfielders glove for a 3-base error, clearing the bases. He later came home on a ground-ball error to close out the scoring at 18-10. In a game with a combined 24 hits, 13 walks and eight errors, it was easy to find several offensive stars for both teams. Jeffersons Joseph had four hits, including a double and an RBI. Kortokrax had two triples, while Anspach added two double and three RBIs and Kimmet chipped in with two singles. Lincolnviews Clayton Longstreth also had a monster game, pounding out four hits, including a triple, two

WEEKLY YOUTH ATHLETIC SCHEDULE

SPORTS
By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com KALIDA Dick Kortokrax has won many accolades in his half a century-plus coaching career. The latest one, selection into the Ohio High School Hall of Fame, has left him humbled. One of the reasons is that this is an honor from my peers. Most of the members of the voting committee are coaches, so to be recognized for your work by them is special, Kortokrax, who leads the all-time coaching list in wins in Ohio with 822, began. They know what coaching entails, like the time commitment needed to be successful. I know I could never get into a hall of fame because of my playing, though I loved the game, so coaching has been my vehicle. In fact, the 822-game winner (versus 323 losses) for a winning percentage of 71.8) almost never got his coaching career off the ground. I loved playing the game and to this day would have preferred to keep playing when I graduated from college (Anderson University in Indiana) but that was not going to happen; I wasnt intending to coach when I graduated, Kortokrax noted. My late wife, Donna, was an educator and encouraged me to go get my teaching certificate. I took courses at Ohio Northern University for that and got hired as a teacher at Fort Jennings in 1957. They also needed a freshman basketball coach and I originally didnt want to do it: I was married, had a child and already had a pretty full life. They persuaded me that I needed to do this. I coached two years of freshmen ball, helping with the junior varsity and also practicing with the varsity under Paul Grilliot. He left and I took over and coached varsity for two years. The rest, as they say, is history. He went 26-18 helming the Musketeers before returning to his alma mater, Ottoville High School (where

Kortokrax humbled by newest coaching honor

ute to the support I had and continue to have from my immediate family but also those that played for me and the wonderful assistant coaches I have had over the years. You dont last this long and have this kind of success without having good people around you and support from the community. I really hope they realize how much they share in this honor and all the other honors I have had in my coaching career. Among those was induction into the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1999; entering the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (from the Ohio High School Athletic Association) in 2002; and selection as a Coach of the Year Boys Basketball Finalist in 2003 by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association. Ive been to every ceremony of the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame but one, he added. I was there when (long-time St. Johns boys coach) Bob Arnzen was inducted in the first class in 2006. Again, its a great and humbling honor to be recognized by your peers. Theres a lot that goes into this on and off the court and a lot has changed in my time on the bench. He will be joined in the seventh class by fellow high school coaches Ed Zink of Beavercreek and Joe Petrocelli of Kettering Alter; college coaches Don Callan of Cedarville, Darrell Hedric of Miami of Ohio and Laurie Pirtle of Cincinnati; female players Vonda Ward of Tennessee and Amy Tucker of Ohio State, now an associate head coach at Stanford; mens college players Richard Dallmer (Cincinnati), Larry Harris (Pittsburgh), Bud Olsen (Louisville), Garry Roggenburk (Dayton) and Xaviers David West; Mark Price of Georgia Tech (9 years with the Cleveland Cavaliers); and Alice Harbarger, the outstanding womens basketball contributor before 1976. She played at Shawnee High School in the 1930s. They will be inducted next May.

he played basketball), in 1961. He also received his Masters in Secondary School Administration from Ball State University in the same year. He went 199-82 in 13 seasons for the Big Green before assuming the mantle at Kalida High School in 1974. His 36-year mark for the Maroon and While is 597-223, including a Class A state championship in 1981. Along the way, he has served as high school principal at Kalida (20 years) and athletic director, in addition to his teaching. He has only one regret during his coaching career. I am grateful that I had a wife and a family that supported me in my coaching but that is one thing I regret; that perhaps it took too much of my time away from them. However, she nor my children ever asked me stop, he acknowledged. Coaching basketball any sport requires a lot of time away from your family and its impossible without their support; they knew and understood what had to be done. I have had two families all these years: my wife and children and my basketball family. This honor is a reflection on both of them. Its a trib-

Blue Jay pitching shuts down Knights in ACME action

By Brian Bassett Sports Editor sports@timesbulletin.com CONVOY - The Crestview ACME baseball team had its work cut out for them with St. Johns pitcher Isaac Klausing on the mound Friday night. Klausing pitched a completegame victory for the Blue Jays, allowing only two runs, both coming in the seventh inning, en route to a 3-2 St. Johns victory. Crestview pitcher Matt Holden retired the first two batters of the game in the top of the first before Jordan Bergfeld grounded to second and beat out the throw at first for an infield single. The next batter, Cody Kundert, walked, followed by a 2-run triple by Austin Jostpille. Jostpille then scored as Klausing helped his own cause with an RBI single, giving the Blue Jays the 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the first, Klausing got a quick out before Kole Rolsten dropped a seeingeye single into center field and Alec Heffner reached on a fielding error. The next batter, Jake Harmon, singled and the Knights had the bases loaded with one out, until Klausing forced a 6-4-3 double-play to end the inning. The game became a pitchers duel from that point as Holden held two Blue Jay baserunners on base to end the top of the second. Klausing then countered by retiring the side in the bottom of the second, striking out two consecutive batters to end the frame. St. Johns threatened again in the top of the third as two walks and a passed ball put runners at second and third with only one out but Holden struck out the next two batters, ending the frame. A Rolsten single was all Crestview could manage in the bottom of the third and at the end of three the Blue Jays still held a 3-0 lead. Holden recorded two outs in the top of the fourth before Bergfeld lined a double. Holden forced the next batter to fly out, continuing an impressive string of leaving Blue Jay runners on base. Crestview only had one base runner in the bottom of the fourth, Nick Leary, who reached on an infield hit, as Klausing continued to keep Crestview batters off balance. Jostpille led off the fifth inning with a single before Holden struck out two consecutive batters. An Elijah Brinkman single put runners on the corners with two outs but Holden once again worked himself out of trouble by forcing a ground out to end the inning. Jared Hallfeldt led off the bottom of the fifth with a single

TEXAS RANGERS Agreed to terms with LHP Kevin Matthews and OF Zach Cone. Assigned Matthews to the Rangers (Arizona) and Cone to Spokane (NWL).

and was advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Blake Myers. Holden followed with a single before advancing to second on a passed ball, giving the Knights runners on second and third with only one out. Rolsten then grounded to the shortstop who collided with Holden as he was advancing to third. Runner interference was called, making the runner on second automatically out and sending the runner on third who had scored back to third. Crestview was left with runners on first and third with two outs. Klausing then forced a fly out to end the inning and the Crestview scoring threat. Hallfeldt came in to relieve Holden on the mound in the top of the sixth and shut down the side. Klausing returned the favor for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the frame, sending the game to the seventh inning with St. Johns still leading 3-0. Hallfeldt allowed a Jostpille single to begin the seventh before striking out two and forcing a fly out to end the frame. Hallfeldt led off the bottom of the seventh with a double. A ground ball by Justin Lare to the first baseman advanced Hallfeldt to third. Holden then walked to bring the tying run to the plate in Rolsten. A passed ball gave the Knights their first run of the game as Hallfeldt scored and Holden advanced to second. Rolsten flied out for the second out before Alex Brown reached on an error that tangled him and the first baseman up, allowing Holden to score. Brown advanced to second as St. Johns tracked down the ball. With the tying run on second and the winning run at the plate, Klausing forced a pop fly to end the Crestview rally and the game. The winning pitcher for the Blue Jays was Klausing who pitched seven innings, allowing two runs, one earned, while walking one and striking out three. The losing pitcher for Crestview was Holden, who pitched five innings, allowing three runs, all earned, while walking three and striking out six. Leading hitters for the Knights were Hallfeldt who went 2-3 with a double and a run scored and Rolsten who went 2-3.

The Herald 7

Ohio Division of Natural Resources CENTRAL OHIO Deer Creek Lake (Fayette/ Pickaway counties) - This 1,287-acre lake southwest of Columbus provides good largemouth bass and crappie fishing. Fish shoreline cover and riprap for largemouth bass; throwing creature baits, tubes and crankbaits is popular. When crappie fishing, use a minnow suspended under a bobber for best results; crappies must be 9 inches or longer to keep. When fishing for catfish, using cut shad, shrimp or catfish baits can be productive. Kokosing River (Knox County) - Ohios first water trail, this scenic river offers paddlers and anglers access to 28 miles of river fishing. Smallmouth bass and rock bass can be caught on small crankbaits, tubes and jigs. Sunfish, crappies and catfish are present and offer good fishing. NORTHWEST OHIO Delta Reservoir #2 (Fulton County) - Catfish are being caught during the daytime by fishing liver on the bottom. Sandusky River (Sandusky County) - Fishing here for catfish has been excellent... especially at the Ballville Dam area. Water levels have risen slightly over the past few days, which should have resulted in more catfish running up to the dam. Nightcrawlers or shrimp under a bobber is working the best. You can also tight-line in some of the areas where the water is not running too fast. Muddy Creek (Sandusky County) - Nice catches of catfish have been reported. Nightcrawlers or shrimp fished on the bottom is the best bet. Killdeer Pond #33 (Wyandot County) - Largemouth bass are being taken in the evenings by still-fishing worms or casting spinner baits. South and west shorelines are producing the best catches. Sunfish are also being taken in good numbers. Fishing wax worms just off the bottom or casting small jigs in the early afternoon is working well; try the west shoreline. NORTHEAST OHIO Berlin Lake (Mahoning/ Stark/Portage counties) - All eyes on Berlin! The walleye bite this past weekend provided a whole lot of rod bending action; about every 1 in 5 caught were keepers with the majority being released just shy of the 15-inch limit mark. Worm harnesses and jigs with pieces of crawlers, both trolled or drift-fished, were keys to success. With a decent weather forecast for this week, eyes should be kept on Berlin. Region Wide - Sunfish in the shallows and some major insect larvae hatches make this time of the year a great opportunity to bust out the lighter fly rods. There is wide range of flies that will be successful due to the aggressive behavior of the sunfish. One of the more exciting presentations is watching a glass surface break when a sunfish smacks a small popper. Look for nice shallow flats with woody debris and snags along side dropoffs to deeper water. SOUTHEAST OHIO Woodbury Wildlife Area Ponds (Coshocton County) Both sunfish and bass have been biting; try using minnow type lures in 4 feet of water. Fish are moving into the shallow edges in the late evening and early morning. Lake Rupert/Wellston Reservoir (Vinton County) Nice catches of bluegill have been reported over the past week. Wax worms have been the most successful but minnows have been getting hits as well. Fishing for channel cats should start picking up; nightfishing can be a fun alternative to the bright and hot sun of daytime fishing. Try chicken livers or nightcrawlers on the bottom. Dillon Reservoir (Muskingum County) Largemouth bass were biting over the weekend in this 1,376acre lake. Spinner baits fished in 3-6 feet of water were the most successful, with plenty of 12-to 13-inch fish reeled in. SOUTHWEST OHIO C.J. Brown Reservoir (Clark County) - Walleye fishing is excellent; early-morning boat anglers fishing jigs tipped with a nightcrawler over the mid-lake humps and in the north end of the lake are catching some nice ones. Recent reports indicate that anglers trolling deep-diving crank baits are beginning to catch some larger fish; there is a 15-inch minimum size limit and daily bag of six. Bluegill are being caught around the rocky shorelines of the dam and the marina, as well as the wooden piling structures near the boat ramp and campground. Use wax or red worms

McIlroy roars into US Open record books larger

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press BETHESDA, Md. In one of those cant-miss moments in sports, thousands of fans covered every inch of space on the hill behind the 10th green at Congressional. They spilled onto the clubhouse veranda, pressed their faces against the windows and lined up against the balcony railing to watch Rory McIlroy deliver a performance never before seen in the U.S. Open. It was Tiger Woods of 11 years ago, Ian Poulter said. In some respects, it was even better. McIlroy, the sympathetic figure at the Masters, was as close to perfect as golf allows Friday during a stunning assault on the record book. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland became the first player in the 111-year history of the U.S. Open to reach 13-under par; despite a double bogey into the water on the final hole, his 5-under 66 was enough to set the 36-hole scoring record at 131. He had a 6-shot lead over former PGA champion Y.E. Yang (69), matching the U.S. Open record set by Woods in 2000 at Pebble Beach for the largest margin at the halfway point. McIlroy went 17 holes without missing a green. He went 35 holes without making a bogey. He tied the U.S. Open record of 12 under previously held by Woods in 2000 and Gil Morgan in 1992, both at Pebble Beach on the par-5 16th with a 4-iron from 223 yards that settled 8 feet from the cup. Its very near the best I can play, he said. Its been two very, very good days of golf. I put myself in a great position going into the weekend. But I know more than probably anyone else what can happen. So Ive got to stay really focused and try and finish this thing off. Not since Woods destroyed his competition at Pebble Beach in 2000 for a record 15-shot victory has anyone made golf look this easy, at least for two rounds. As if playing under complete control were not enough, McIlroy hit a wedge from 114 yards some 15 feet behind the flag on No. 8, then watched it roll down a slope and into the cup for eagle. The only time he came close to making bogey was on the par-4 11th, when he blasted out of a bunker to 8 feet and made the putt. Then came the 17th, when McIlroy hit 7-iron from 175 yards that covered the flag, barely cleared the bunker and left him 15 feet below the hole for yet another birdie to go to 13 under. That number just isnt seen on leaderboards at the U.S. Open. McIlroy knows better than to start the celebration before Sunday. He was buoyed by support coming into the U.S. Open because of the calamity at Augusta National from two months ago, when he led by four shots going into the final round of the Masters and shot 80, the kind of collapse that isnt easily forgotten. The second round was halted for 42 minutes because of thunderstorms and Yang held it together on the stronger back nine to at least stay in range. The South Korean is no stranger to big deficits in the majors. It was only two years ago, in the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine, that he trailed Woods by six shots going into the weekend and wound up winning by three. Im not going to chase anyone, Yang said. Im just going to play my game. Sergio Garcia had a 71 and joined Snedeker at 2-under 140 among those who finished the second round. Just his luck and Garcia doesnt have much of that in the majors he is playing solid golf at a major where someone else is playing out of this world. Also at 140 were Matt Kuchar, Robert Garrigus and former Masters champion Zach Johnson. The second round was suspended by darkness, forcing 21 players to return this morning to complete their round. And it left everyone who finished wondering if there was any chance of catching McIlroy. Rory is obviously running away with it, so we are pretty much playing for second unless something crazy happens tomorrow, PGA champion Martin Kaymer said. I hope he wins, though. Hes a nice person and he deserves it, especially after the Masters. Lee Westwood wasnt ready to concede after a 68 left him 12 shots behind, although he made yet another reference to Pebble Beach in 2000 when he said his goal was second place and added, Well see what Rory does. It was hard to ignore what felt like a coronation for McIlroy as he eased his way around the golf course. Toward the end of his round, the gallery in the grandstand gave him a standing ovation as the freckle-faced wonder boy with the bounce in his step simply walked onto the green. McIlroy played with four-time major winner Phil Mickelson, one of the biggest crowd-pleasers in golf who simply was along for the ride. Mickelson, who also made double bogey on the 18th, shot a 69 to finish at 1-over 143. During one stretch on the front nine, Mickelson made three birdies in four holes and didnt make up any ground. McIlroy laid up from the rough on the par-5 sixth and hit wedge to 5 feet for birdie, then holed out for his eagle on the eighth. The burst of cheers when the ball dropped for eagle was enough to make the group ahead take notice as they stood on the ninth tee. McIlroy wasnt finished. From 190 yards, he hit a 6-iron to about 5 feet behind the hole at No. 14 for birdie, then finished with his back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th to

fished under a bobber. A few crappie are still being caught on minnows and wax worms around the marina. Grand Lake St. Marys (Auglaize/Mercer counties) - Channel catfish are being caught on minnows when fishing in shallow water; in deeper water, theyre being caught on shrimp or nightcrawlers fished off of the bottom or tight-lined along the bottom. Casting from the lake into the rocky areas is very productive. A particularly good spot is Windy Point along the West Bank; cast into the rocky riprap areas or the mouths of the creeks entering the lake. Bluegill are being a caught on wax worms or ice jigs under a bobber and about 6-8 inches deep along the shore, near any type of structure, including the rocky areas and seawalls, and into the channels. Largemouth bass are being caught using black, black-purple or pumpkinseedcolored jigs about a foot deep and close to the shoreline in water about 2-3 feet deep. OHIO RIVER Monroe County - Flatheads and freshwater drum are being caught after dark on cut bait, minnows and chicken livers. Channel catfish are being caught on nightcrawlers and chicken livers. Overall, fishing conditions are good in the Willow Island pool. A few smallmouth bass are being caught on crankbaits, especially near the tailwater. Gallia County - Good numbers of channel catfish and flatheads are being caught in deep water using fresh cut bait, especially bluegill and large shiners fished below large slip bobbers or on the bottom using 1/2-oz. sinkers. A few hybrid striped bass were caught at the R.C. Byrd dam abutment access using chicken livers and nightcrawlers; most are running between 10-15 inches. Meldahl Dam to Cincinnati (Clermont/Hamilton Counties) - Channel catfish are being taken in good numbers all along the river. Try chicken livers, shrimp or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye is 6 fish. The minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The steelhead daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler through August 31. The minimum size limit for steelhead is 12 inches. The Lake Erie black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) daily bag limit is closed to possession through Friday. Western Basin: Walleye fishing is improving and has been best around West Sister Island, N of West Reef, between North Bass Island and Kelleys Island and E of Kelleys Island by trolling with divers and spoons, inline weights and worm harnesses and crankbaits. Fish can also be caught by casting mayfly rigs or drifting with bottom-bouncers and worm harnesses. ... Yellow perch fishing has been best E of Ballast Island, E of the Kelleys Island airport and S of Gull Island Shoal using minnows on perch-spreaders fished near the bottom. Central Basin: Walleye fishing has been very good NW of Lorain in 46 feet of water, at 50-62 feet N of Edgewater Park, 52-60 feet NW of Gordon Park, 50 feet NW of Fairport Harbor, 60 feet NW of Geneva and 30 feet NW of Conneaut. Anglers are using inline weights, jet and dipsy divers with orange, pink, green and silver spoons, as well as worm harnesses. ... Yellow perch fishing has been good at 35-40 feet NE of Edgewater Park, 30-38 feet NE of Gordon Park, 42-52 feet NW of Fairport, 30-38 feet NE of Geneva and 30-36 feet N of Conneaut. Perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore anglers are catching fish off the East 55 St. Pier in Cleveland and Headlands Beach Pier out at the lighthouse and Fairport Harbor Pier using spreaders with shiners; the mornings have been best. Anglers are catching catfish and white perch in the Grand River; look for white bass to begin heating up at Eastlake CEI breakwall. ... Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good at 15-25 feet around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut using softcraws, leeches, dark green and red tube jigs, blade baits and crank baits. Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating.

Earnhardt back in Michigan, hoping for elusive win

The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. Dale Earnhardt Jr. tries not to worry about his winless stretch, which reached three years this week. Of course, now that hes back in Michigan, the site of his last victory, theres no avoiding the questions. Would like to win a race, Earnhardt said. Were trying to but we dont want to get too careless about it and start taking too many chances that are foolish. The date was June 15, 2008. Earnhardts fuel-mileage victory at Michigan International Speedway snapped a 76-race winless string shortly after he teamed up with Hendrick Motorsports. Since then, hes raced 107 times on the Sprint Cup circuit without finishing first. Despite all that, NASCARs most popular driver is a lot more upbeat these days. Although he has yet to win, he has eight top-10 finishes in 14 races this season, equaling his total for all of 2010. Hes third in the points standings entering Sundays race. I think Im having one of the best years Ive ever had, he said. The talk of his drought will persist until Earnhardt wins a race but at least hes in contention now on a regular basis. Kevin Harvick passed him with four laps remaining to win at Martinsville Speedway in April. Earnhardt led on the final lap last month at Charlotte Motor Speedway but settled for seventh after his gas tank ran dry. He finished second in Kansas and sixth at Pocono Raceway last weekend. Sure, its frustrating for his many fans but it beats being irrelevant. And even if Earnhardt does win soon, he wont be satisfied. The improvement has been obvious, especially to Hendrick teammate Jeff Gordon, who won at Pocono. Those guys are having a spectacular season, Gordon said. Ive been in that situation before where were having a great year, were up there leading the points or battling for the championship and we hadnt won a race and thats where the focus was. That, to me, is not right. ... I think if they keep doing what theyre doing, the win will come. It would be fitting if it comes this weekend at MIS, where Earnhardt has five top-10 finishes in his last nine Cup races. If not, hell simply move on to the next race and try to keep putting himself in position to be a factor. He finished 21st in the standings last year and 25th in 2009 but those days feel like a distant memory now; the support from his die-hard fans remained strong all along. Now, Earnhardt feels like a threat to contend in pretty much every race and he can start to anticipate what it will feel like to win again. Burton trying to get out of slump: Look at the stats and the numbers sure dont seem like they belong to Jeff Burton. No wins. N o top5s. No top10s. Four finishes 25th or worse. Those are Dave Blaney or Casey Mears type of results. Not ones befitting one of the most consistent drivers in the sport. Burton is in a funk, one of the worst in his 19-year career, stuck in 25th place in the points standings heading into this weekends Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. He finished in the top 10 in the final standings three straight years (2006-08) and qualified for the Chase for the Championship last season. This season, its been nothing but a string of bad luck and bad finishes for the No. 31. But a bad attitude? Not a chance for Burton, one of NASCARs most respected drivers. Whats silly is, with the format we have this year, were still not out of it, Burton said. We can still win the championship. Thats some wide-eyed optimism right there. The revamped Chase format for this season allows for wild-card spots. The top two drivers outside of the top 10 with the most victories will earn spots in the 10-race chase for the title. Gordon is in 11th place but after earning his second victory of the season last weekend at Pocono Raceway, hes a near-lock to make the field. No other driver outside the top 10 has more than one win. Burton believes if his team can get the season turned around in short order with a pair of wins, hell be jolted back into championship contention. Burton was 20th at Pocono a third straight finish in the 20s and his winless stretch is now 91 races. Burton and owner Richard Childress have few solutions to whats ailed the 31. His problems started in the season-opening Daytona 500 when an engine failed only 92 laps into the race. He was caught in a wreck at Phoenix and hasnt been able to find his way from out of the back of the pack. Burtons struggles are magnified because two of his teammates, Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer, are in the top 10. RCR driver Paul Menard is 19th, making Burton the worst performer on the team. So far, Burtons team has avoided the kind of shake-up t h a t other underachievi n g teams experienced this year. Tony Stewart released Bobby Hutchens as director of competition at Stewart-Haas Racing. Martin Truex Jr. had a new crew chief at Pocono, with Chad Johnston stepping in for Pat Tryson. RCR crew chief Todd Berrier appears safe with Burton. Childress has his own troubles. NASCAR fined him and placed him on probation after an incident with Kyle Busch. Probation ends for Kyle Busch, Harvick: Probation is over for Busch and Harvick but the drivers arent ready to shake hands and make up. Asked how much the end of the penalty would change his driving, Busch replied zero. It didnt matter being on it or being off it, he said Friday before practice for Sundays race. I try to race the best I can each and every week, as hard as I can and as clean as I can. The two drivers, fined and disciplined for a run-in after the May 7 race at Darlington, were again told to cool it last week at Pocono. Harvick said afterward that he wanted Busch to know he had one coming. The two have not spoken to each other since NASCAR sat them down before the May 15 race at Dover. Their trailers were parked next to each other Friday morning because placement is determined by Sprint Cup points standings. Harvick seemed to back off his threat when he spoke to reporters. NASCAR fined the drivers $25,000 each and placed them on probation for an altercation following the Darlington race. The two made contact during the race and Harvick wrecked with teammate Clint Bowyer. Afterward, Harvick climbed

reach 13 under. Only four other players have reached 10 under or better at any point in a U.S. Open Morgan, Woods, Jim Furyk at Olympia Fields in 2003 and Ricky Barnes at rain-soaked Bethpage Black in 2009. None of them got there after only two rounds, much less the 26 holes it took McIlroy. McIlroys only mistake came on the last hole. Congressional was softened by overnight rain, which was obvious with the splat from balls landing on the green, instead of bouncing hard and into the rough as they so often do in this major. But the measure of great golf not always comes from the leader but those chasing him. What made Woods record win at Pebble Beach so impressive is that he finished at 12-under 272 and no one else was better than 3-over par. Such was the case at Congressional. Among those who had finished 36 holes, only seven other players had managed to break par and no one was within nine shots of McIlroy. Saint-Omer Open SAINT-OMER, France Andrea Perrino and Craig Lee shared a 1-shot lead after the second round of the SaintOmer Open. Lee had six birdies and three bogeys Friday for a 3-under 68 and 5-under 137 total in windy and wet conditions. His Italian rival carded a 2-under 69 with three birdies and one bogey. Both men have a 1-stroke lead over first-round leader George Coetzee of South Africa. Federico Colombo is fourth at 3 under. Benn Barham, Thomas Norret, Andrew Tampion, Marco Ruiz and Matthew Zions are tied for fifth, three strokes off the pace. Perrino is leading a European Tour event for the first time of his career. Coetzee, who led by two shots after the first round, lost his lead with a bogey at the fourth and a double bogey at the 14th.

from his car and threw a punch into Buschs window before Busch used his car to bump Harvicks out of the way. Officials radioed each mans crew during last weeks race at Pocono, when Harvick forced Busch down the track while the two were fighting for position. Busch, docked six points when his car failed inspection after the Pocono race, began the weekend fifth in the Sprint Cup standings, 20 points behind Harvick. Gibbs teams told to change unauthorized oil pans: NASCAR officials ordered three Joe Gibbs Racing teams to change oil pans before Fridays practice at Michigan International Speedway. NASCAR said oil pans from cars driven by Busch, Denny Hamlin, Busch and Joey Logano were not submitted for approval before opening day inspection. Their practice times were allowed only after the pans were removed. NASCAR says it will discuss early next week if there will be additional penalties. Hamlin is 12th in the Sprint Cup points standings entering Sundays race and can ill afford a severe sanction. IndyCar back at historic, gritty Milwaukee track: Its a gritty 1-mile oval with its share of rough edges, set in the middle of a modest neighborhood just west of downtown. No, the Milwaukee Mile isnt the prettiest or most polished racetrack around. And it nearly slipped off the motorsports map for good last year, when financial problems left it without a viable promoter or a date on the NASCAR or IndyCar schedules. But man, does the Mile have a history a fact that isnt lost on the IndyCar drivers who will lead the return of big-time racing to the track this weekend. Graham Rahal, son of Indy icon Bobby Rahal, said it just didnt seem right for the series to miss Milwaukee last year. Its a place that I love coming to and I love racing at, Rahal said. And I think thats a common theme. Not only for the drivers of this time but if you talk to my dad or any of the guys that have been around here before, that everybody loved it. The Mile hosted its first auto racing event in 1903, predating even the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And Milwaukee once was directly linked to the Indianapolis 500, traditionally hosting a race the weekend right after Indy.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Sunday, June 19, 2011 Acquiring a new friend who is compassionate and understanding will do much for you personally in the year ahead, as well as elevate your standing among your peers. Emulating this person will bring you greater popularity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Instead of dwelling on what you dont have or cant do, be appreciative of your present circumstances. Gratitude produces peace of mind, while unfulfilled cravings generate unhappiness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if others do some things that displease you, for your own peace of mind view their behavior philosophically. It pays to keep everything in proper perspective. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you have to work in close conjunction with someone whom youve had a past disagreement with, keep to yourself and dont make any waves. Youll be the one labeled a troublemaker. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unforeseen circumstances could force you to socialize with someone youve been trying hard to avoid. Keep your feelings to yourself rather than make a bad situation worse. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Someone whose nose youve rubbed in the dust recently might try to give you a taste of your own medicine. Stay above it all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Even if you believe your thinking and ideas are superior to those of your companions, keep your opinions to yourself. Instead, be extremely diplomatic and kind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Minimize your material desires by displaying an unconcerned attitude about what another person has. Look for the good in people, not what you can get out of them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Youre in for a big disappointment when you look back and find nobody following your banner, all because youve been too forceful and insistent upon having your own way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --Shame on you if you neglect someone who has come to your aid in the past just because you dont want to help. You cant feign ignorance of this persons situation. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you find yourself facing a friend whos constantly demeaning others, do what you can to convert him or her with reason. You can be the instrument for your pals conversion. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Behave as if everybody is watching you, because its likely that they are. Dont do anything that would put your reputation in jeopardy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Its not winning an argument thats important, its keeping true to your standards or beliefs, especially if failing to do so labels you as something youre not. Monday, June 20, 2011 You will certainly experience your share of both stress and pleasure in the year ahead, but how you handle each will determine your success and happiness. Dont let any insignificant event disturb you -- think win at all times. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Circumstances that held you back could begin to change in ways that would be beneficial. The twists and turns life takes will help you establish a new, important objective. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -A joint endeavor you establish with a like-minded individual could be especially promising. Each of you could turn out to be lucky in ways the other isnt, strengthening the team even further. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are likely to discover a new market that could utilize your skills and talents in fortunate ways. Putting forth your best effort will be greatly rewarded. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Situations that call for collective bargaining could benefit you greatly because of your natural ability for just that. The other party will recognize and welcome your sense of fairness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Because of your innate negotiating skill, any arrangement that requires a partnership situation should work out wonderfully. Each side will be able to contribute their most valuable asset. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- By carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of taking a calculated risk where your work is concerned, you should be able to advance your career. Be bold, not brash. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- New, advantageous developments should make you even more popular with your peers than you already are. Enjoy your friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Bigger and better material breaks are likely to come from a number of your ongoing arrangements. If you play them right, these new opportunities will add to your holdings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Write down any ideas, concepts or new products you think of. You are in an especially creative cycle right now, and what you conceive could meet a real need. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -It could be a better than usual day for finalizing a meaningful matter. If you know what you want to do and sense that youre lucky, dont sit on it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It behooves you to be friendly and outgoing because by being so, a valuable link can be established thatll give you greater access to an important area. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This could be an interesting day; events and circumstances could help you establish something new that could turn out to be of great significance.

Medicare goes high-tech to head off fraud

WASHINGTON (AP) Tired of paying bogus claims, then chasing the scammers, Medicare announced Friday it is deploying screening technology similar to whats widely used by credit card companies to head off fraud. Up to now, the $500 billion-a-year government health program for seniors has basically paid claims first and asked questions later in a system dubbed pay and chase. The technology upgrade should help deter flagrant abuses such as the small clinic that suddenly starts billing more for a particular outpatient procedure intravenous infusions, for example than major hospitals in its area. But its not likely to help crack sophisticated schemes that involve outwardly respectable companies with the expertise to cover their tracks. Medicare is putting in place the kind of computer program it should have had in 1980 or earlier, said Patrick Burns of Taxpayers Against Fraud, a nonpartisan

UN backs gay rights for first time ever

GENEVA (AP) The United Nations endorsed the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender people for the first time ever Friday, passing a resolution hailed as historic by the U.S. and other backers and decried by some African and Muslim countries. The declaration was cautiously worded, expressing grave concern about abuses because of sexual orientation and commissioning a global report on discrimination against gays. But activists called it an important shift on an issue that has divided the global body for decades, and they credited the Obama administrations push for gay rights at home and abroad. This represents a historic moment to highlight the human rights abuses and violations that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face around the world based solely on who they are and whom they love, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement. Backers included the U.S., the European Union, Brazil and other Latin American countries. Those against included Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Pakistan. China, Burkina Faso and Zambia abstained, Kyrgyzstan didnt vote and Libya was suspended from the rights body earlier. The resolution expressed grave concern at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, committed against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. More important, activists said, it also established a formal U.N. process to document human rights abuses against gays, including discriminatory laws and acts of violence. According to Amnesty International, consensual same-sex relations are illegal in 76 countries worldwide, while harassment and discrimination are common in many more. Todays resolution breaks the silence that has been maintained for far too long, said John Fisher of the gay rights advocacy group ARC International. The White House in a statement strongly backed the declaration. This marks a significant milestone in the long struggle for equality, and the beginning of a universal recognition that (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) persons are endowed with the same inalienable rights and entitled to the same protections as all human beings. The resolution calls for a

group that supports whistleblowers who expose corporate scams against the government. The bad news is that the largest Medicare and Medicaid frauds are designed at the highest levels of companies, with accountants, billing experts and salespeople smoothing over the paperwork so that it will slide past all the proctors. Health care fraud is estimated to cost taxpayers $60 billion a year, although its real extent is unknown. Medicare, which covers 47 million seniors and disabled people of any age, has long been a prime target. But with the program facing insolvency, combatting health care fraud has become a much more urgent priority for the government. Medicare anti-fraud czar Peter Budetti said the new system expected to go into operation July 1 is a major step forward. It will allow us to do some things we had not been able to do before, he said. The hope is that Medicare will no longer be an easy mark.

The prospect of having their laws scrutinized in this way went too far for many of the councils 47-member states.

Graceland, Elvis Presleys home, sees approximately 700,000 visitors each year. Todays question: Horsepower is the ability to lift 33,000 pounds 1 foot in 1 minute or 550 pounds 1 foot in 1 second.
