Kneuve, Kemper move on to November

New money fails in Elida; voters kind to library, parks
BY NANCY SPENCER, STACY TAFF and STEPHANIE GROVES DELPHOS AREA Delphos voters have spoken and Andrew Knueve and Del Kemper will appear on the Nov. 5 General Election ballot. Ballots lifted Knueve over Andrew Daley 126 to 100 for the 1st Ward nod and Kemper beat out Greg Etgen for the 4th Ward Tuesday evening. Knueve was appreciative of Knueve voter support. It feels good to have the backing of the voters, he said Tuesday evening. I was nervous and excited the whole day. I think it was good for Delphos to have two contested races. Knueve says hes ready for November and beyond. I have what it takes to fit in to the existing council and participate, contribute and be useful, he said. Im going to start doing my homework. Its going to be difficult to fill Rick Hansers shoes. Knueve says the budget is a top priority. The budget is a huge concern, he said. It will be a challenge. I have a feeling its just going to get smaller. Knueve, an associate lawyer with Kemper Huffman, Kelley, Brock & Gottschalk, LLC. in Lima, said he has the time to devote to the position, if not the experience. Knueve and his wife, Amanda (Recker), live on Fourth Street and attend St. Johns Church. Kemper was happy about the voter support as well. Im pleased to make it through the Primary. It was a light turnout and I think everyone expected that with only a few issues and candidates to vote on, he said. Now Im going to get acclimated to whats going on so I can make good decisions. Kemper is semi-retired from Statewide Ford in Van Wert and sells real estate. He said in an earlier interview with the Delphos Herald that Delphos is in need of a solution to its budget problems. Delphos voters also passed the Delphos Public Librarys request for a renewal of its 5-year, .6-mill operating levy, which generates a significant portion of the librarys annual budget. If the levy had failed, Director Kelly Rist says reductions wouldve been in the future. There were some funding cuts from the state four years ago and cuts were made in hours, she said. If it had failed we wouldve looked at the budget to see where we couldve cut. It most likely wouldve been a reduction in materials or possibly hours again. It wouldve been bad because the levy makes up 13 percent of our annual budget. Rist and the rest of the library staff and board members are thrilled to avoid such reductions. We are extremely happy, Rist said. I think they said it passed by 88 percent in Allen County and 85

percent in Van Wert County. Were very appreciative to voters in the district for all of their wonderful support. After months of planning and campaigning, Elida Local Schools is faced with the prospect of further devastating cuts after its second failed levy attempt in the last year. After an earned-income request fell through in November, Elida tried for a 5.95-mill Property Tax Levy during Tuesdays Primary Election but voters werent having it. The plan right now is just to digest this a little bit, Superintendent Don Diglia said. Regardless of whether or not this levy passed, the board had already approved a plan to make almost $500,000 in cuts. We have a carryover that will get us through the next year, so its just a matter of how proactive the board wants to be in getting to state minimum standards. Weve had the next year planned; its beyond that thats the problem. Future items on the chopping block will likely include some extracurriculars, the reduction of all day, everyday kindergarten to half-day and the See ELECTION, page 12

City to save $217K on electricity accounts

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS City council members on Monday voted unanimously to allow Safety Service Director Greg Berquist to enter in to a two-year contract with Champion Energy, LLC, for 25 municipal accounts that do not qualify under the citys electrical aggregation plan. The city will realize $217,000 in electrical cost savings (36 percent) each of the two years at .05785 cents per kilowatt hour on just the Water and Wastewater Treatment plants, which use approximately 6,577,200 kilowatt hours per year in electricity. The measure was passed on emergency to take advantage of Mondays pricing. Council also passed on emergency a resolution opposing the passage of House Bill 5 by the Ohio General Assembly. HB5 proposes uniformity measures for municipal income tax in the form of unfunded mandates and a substantial loss of revenue for municipalities. The resolution states: Whereas, the Coalition has drafted and introduced language that is detrimental to the financial stability of municipalities, will drastically reduce revenue for all municipalities in Ohio, and includes unfunded mandates which will cripple the ability for municipalities to provide basic services to residents and resident businesses alike The bill currently dictates states will collect the income taxes for municipalities. The resolution will be presented to the state legislature. In other business, council heard an update on the Cass Street water line project. Berquist said the endeavor has become a moving target with numerous delays due to questions arising from citizens whose property will be effected by the installation of a water loop in the area of the railroad tracks and from the rail administration. Berquist said things are moving along as quickly as they can and the project start date has been pushed back a week so far. Councilman Josh Gillespie thanked Rogers Rangers for cleaning up the Grone property adjacent to Elida Road just outside of city limits on the east side. Councilman Mark Clement noted a roof on one of the salt buildings in Stadium Park was in disrepair and needed attention. City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff called for a Budget Hearing at 6:45 p.m. on June 17.

For The Record

IT WAS NEWS THEN
One Year Ago Fort Jennings Elementary successfully completed its St. Judes Math-a-thon. This year, 55 students participated, raising $2,248.72. Certificates were given to all, T-shirts were given to those who raised $35-74.99 and T-shirts and sports bags were given to those who raised over $75. Top fundraiser was Emilee Calvelage, who raised $163.64. 25 Years Ago 1988 Keith Harman, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Denelda Brokamp, president of VFW auxiliary, presented a $1,000 check to Robert Van Meter, president of Delphos Emergency Medical Service volunteers. The money will go toward the purchase of a new ambulance. VFW and the auxiliary held a benefit dinner-dance to raise money for the ambulance. The future site of Ace Car Wash will be 408 N. Canal St., the former Alspaugh Body Shop, owned by Milford Alspaugh. The car wash will be owned and operated by Delphos Ace Rentals Inc., which consists of Jeff Norris, Jim Norris, Dave Wieging and Bob Kimmet. Construction on the structure will begin as soon as possible with completion planned by midsummer, according to Kimmet.

Debby Boone headlines NPAC JAMP offers Community Concert Series The Spring Sky
BRIEFS
Johnny Appleseed Park District will offer The Spring Sky at 9 p.m. on Friday at Kendrick Woods. Join members of the Lima Astronomical Society for an evening of stargazing. Numerous telescopes will be set up for views of the night sky. Dress for the weather. If clouds are present Friday evening, the program will be offered Saturday. Registration required by today by calling 419-2211232. Kendrick Woods is located west of Amanda Township. Take SR 81 (Allentown Road) west of Defiance Trail, turn north and go approximately 1/2 mile to the park entrance. BY ED GEBERT DHI Correspondent VAN WERT - Even before pianist Thomas Pandolfi began his Sunday afternoon concert to wrap up the Community Concert Series for 2012-13, Niswonger Performing Arts Center Executive Director Paul Hoverman was announcing the lineup for the 2013-14 series at a reception for patrons and sponsors of the Van Wert County Community Concert Association. The four-show series will be presented at the NPAC. Headlining the series is Grammy-winner Debby Boone who will present her show, Swing This, on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 20. Boone, who held the number one spot on the Billboard Magazine pop charts for 10 weeks back in 1977 with You Light Up My Life, will be presenting a performance in a different mood. She is the daughter-in-law of the late singer Rosemary Clooney. When Rosemary Clooney passed away, she willed her music and charts to Debby, Hoverman explained. These charts are what Debby Boone uses in her Swing This shows. Boone also credits the show as being inspired by her childhood in the swing culture of Las Vegas while traveling with her father, Pat Boone, in the 1960s. She will be joined by her musical director and a nine-piece band to recreate the magical mood of that golden age. The second show is set for Sunday, Dec. 1 with the worldclass handbell ensemble, Sonos, from San Francisco, California. I thought it would be nice to do a Christmas show with the Community Concert Series this year, said Hoverman. And what better way than with bells ringing everywhere! Sonos is more than just a glorified church handbell choir. The musicianship of the group and the creative arrangements have drawn rave reviews since the group was formed in 1990. Sonos usually tours Japan during the Christmas season, but this year is staying in the United States and will make a stop at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. The third presentation in the Community Concert Series is set for Sunday afternoon, March 9 with a group that is no stranger to the NPAC. The Toledo Symphony Orchestra will return, this time to do a special concert of the works of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Joining the TSO will be two local soloists: Mary Ann Falk and Jake Wilder. The series will wrap up on

Spring a lovely time but a lot of work

BY LOVINA EICHER Its 7 a.m. and the children just left for school. My husband, Joe, has been at work several hours already and daughter Elizabeth left for her job at 5:15 a.m. Joe tilled part of the garden last night. Daughter Susan, 17, and I want to get some garden planted today. Spring is such a lovely time of the year but has a lot of work involved. Susan mowed our grass on Saturday for the first time this year. Last year we were mowing in March already due to the early spring we had. Congratulations, go to nephew Noah and Ruby! They have set their wedding day for June 11. I have to help cook at their wedding. Looks like more sewing but thats one way of getting more dresses sewed for me which I need anyway. Rubys mother Lydia is my cousin so it will be nice to visit and work with some cousins at this wedding. Noah is Joes oldest sister MaryAnns son. Last week our horse Ginger gave birth to twin foals. We were disappointed that none of them lived. We are anxiously waiting on Itty Bit to deliver hers any day and hoping everything will be OK. Tomorrow night the 4th graders will have their portfolio presentations and meet with the middle school teachers. It is so hard to believe Joseph will be in middle school next term. That will only leave our 2 youngest : Lovina, 8, and Kevin, 7, in elementary. A reminder to us that a time does not stand still. May we use our time wisely in a way that is pleasing to God and not self. We attended church services in Indiana on Sunday. Its always interesting to visit other communities and meet new people. Joe is friends with Jerry, one of the boys in that church district. Jerry along with four other young souls started following instructions for baptism so we went in Jerrys honor. We had surprise visitors Monday evening. Our friends Terry and Mary from Plainfield, Ind., stopped by to visit. They had their friend Lorraine along who is a faithful reader of this column. It was a pleasure to meet her and to also visit with Terry and Marry again. My sewing machine and also daughter Elizabeths were sold to us by Terry. He is our fix-it many when we need tune ups or repairing done. In fact while Terry was here, Elizabeth had him give her machine a tuneup. Dandelion blooms are starting to pop up here and there which will soon put an end to the dandelion greens until next year. Once the flowers are blooming the greens taste too bitter to use. Asparagus, rhubarbs and strawberries will be the next goodies we look forward to. We have been having winter

onions already. The horseradish is coming up nicely and also see the tea plants coming through the soil. Last night daughter Loretta, 12, decided she will grill the meat for our supper. Son Benjamin, 13, helped her get the grill going. Loretta grilled hot wings and hamburgers. I made macaroni and cheese to go with that. We also had homemade bread and cinnamon rolls that I made earlier in the day. Also Verena, 15, made chocolate chip cookies and Loretta made peanut butter cookies after school. The sun is shining in the east. Looks like a perfect day to plant the garden. I enjoy planting and can go barefooted in the soft soil. The ground had been too cold so far.

Panthers rally to knock off Blue Jays in MAC battle

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Parkway put together a four-run sixth inning to rally past host St. Johns 9-5 in Midwest Athletic Conference baseball action on a breezy Tuesday afternoon at Stadium Park. The Blue Jays (5-12, 2-4 MAC) had led the whole way until the sixth. With the Panthers (13-8 3-2 MAC) down 5-4, the Panthers pieced together two hit batters, a walk, two hits including a 2-run liner to center by Tanner Bates (3-for-5, 2 runs batted) that plated Cameron Roehm and Kane Pontsler a sacrifice fly by Austin Adams (Cody Depweg) and a wild pitch that scored Jordan Stephenson. The Panthers now led 8-5 after chasing starter T.J. Hoersten (for Andrew Metzger). That uprising gave Stephenson all the support he needed in finishing his complete game (7 innings, 9 hits, 5 runs, 2 earned, 1 strikeout, 1 walk). The Jays did get runners at second (Curtis Geise) and third (Ben Wrasman, 3-for-3) with one down in the home half but couldnt get them in. The Panthers made it 9-5 in the top of the seventh on a hit, a force-out, a hit batter and two wild pitches, scoring Stephenson. They left the bases loaded. Metzger led off the Jays seventh with a single but was forced out by Hoersten and the last two batters were retired. We played well for four or five innings but then we made some mental mistakes in the field. That is our problem lately; we dont make physical mistakes but mental ones,

Curtis Geise fields a groundball at shortstop during the St. Johns game against MAC foe Parkway on Tuesday evening. The Jays fell late to the Panthers, 9-5. (Delphos Herald/ Tom Morris) Jays coach Ryan Warnecke said. Part of it is consecutive singles by Brandon Moorman that we go through the motions in warm-up (2-for-4), Jack Roth (2-for-4) and ONeill and it carries over into games. Offensively, I (2-for-3, 2 RBIs). The Jays made it 3-1 in the second on three felt we hit the ball well, especially early, but then you go back and we had a lot of pop-ups. hits, including Wrasmans run-scoring single We arent driving the ball, so we have to go to center that plated Clay Courtney; and three back to the basics.

knock to center. The Panthers moved within 4-2 in the fourth on a leadoff double by Roth; an error putting him at third and he scored as ONeill flied out to left. St. Johns put the score at 5-2 in the fourth. Craig Klausing led off with a walk and Wrasman singled to left; an error allowed both runners to advance and Klausing scored as Geise flied out to center. Parkway got within 5-4 in the fifth on three singles, an RBI double-play groundout by Adams (Pontsler) and a wild pitch (Depweg), setting up the rally. We didnt help Jordan in the field today but he is a bulldog; he doesnt let anything bother him. He generally doesnt walk many but I felt he was a little higher in the zone than normal, Parkway mentor Mike Schumm explained. Part of that was how hard St. Johns hit the ball today; he was not as effective as he usually is because of that. For us, weve been able to hit the ball well most of the year and we kept hitting today. St. Johns is at LCC today (makeup game); Parkway hosts Coldwater.

Errors doom Big Green in 12-2 loss

By Charlie Warnimont DHI Correspondent MILLER CITY A stiff wind blowing in towards homeplate Tuesday afternoon forced hitters to take a different approach at the plate. Miller Citys approach was to put the ball in play as much as possible and have Ottoville make plays. Fortunately for the Wildcats the Big Green didnt have one of their better defensive games on Tuesday. The Big Green committed seven errors on defense and combined with the Wildcats 10 base hits Miller City laid claim to at least a share of the Putnam County League with a 12-2, five-inning, win over the Big Green. The title share is the Wildcats first since the 2009 season. Miller City moved to 6-0 in league play, 12-6 overall, and will host Columbus Grove this afternoon as they look for an outright title. The Bulldogs are 4-1 in PCL play. Ottoville dropped to 7-7 on the season and 4-2 in the league as they close out league play Thursday at Kalida. With the wind blowing in at Miller City, Wildcat coach Dusty Pester knew his team would have to take a different approach at the plate Tuesday. And his hitters were up to the task as they were able to hit more line drives or groundballs and make Ottoville make plays to get them out. We talked about having the approach at the plate of making the defense work and hitting the ball hard, Pester said. The ball wasnt going to do anything in the air so you had to put it on the ground and we were fortunate enough to capitalize on a few of their mistakes today. While Miller Citys plan worked, it was the Big Green that grabbed an early lead in this contest.

HAVILAND Jefferson got off to a slow start in Tuesdays non-league baseball game at Wayne Trace as the Wildcats gave up five unearned runs in the bottom of the first. However, Jefferson rallied to take a 6-5 lead entering the home half of the seventh only to see the host Raiders answer and walk off with a 7-6 victory. After shutting down the Wildcats to open the game, Wayne Trace quickly took the lead in the bottom of the inning. Cade Harvey singled to center to start the rally before a Colby Speice single put runners at first and second. T.J. Blackmore reached on an error to load the bases before Jordan Herron retired cleanup hitter Aaron Stoller on a pop-up to shortstop Ross Thompson. Herron got Jacob Dingus to ground out, scoring Harvey, before hitting Raider starting pitcher Marcus McVay to again load the bases with two outs. Centerfielder Caleb Mead followed with a double to plate both Speice and Blackmore in widening the lead to 3-0. Jared Sherry added a 2-run single that scored McVay and Mead for a 5-0 Raider advantage. Herron then escaped further damage as Thompson threw out Raider second baseman Zach Mansfield on a bang-bang play at first. We didnt come out ready to play, noted Jefferson head coach Doug Geary. We gave them five outs in the first inning and we didnt make adjustments like we needed to. We had some pitches that stayed up and they took advantage. After neither team threatened in the second or third, the Wildcats cut into the deficit in the fourth. Zach Ricker and Austin Jettinghoff drew walks to start the inning before a flyout by Drew Kortokrax moved Ricker to third. Herron then reached on a Raider error that moved Jettinghoff to third and scored Ricker to make it 5-1. Zavier Buzard followed with a run-scoring double that plated Jettinghoff and got the Wildcats within 5-2 and end McVays night on the mound. Herron scored on a wild pitch to pull Jefferson, which falls to 13-10, within 5-3 before Seth Wollenhaupt was hit by a pitch to put runners at the corners. Speice, though, ended the rally by snagging a line drive up the middle off the bat of Gage Townsend-Schleeter and doubled up Wollenhaupt off of first. Jefferson tied the game in the fifth. With one out, Thompson singled and Ricker walked before a Jettinghoff pop-up was the second out. Thompson then scored on a passed ball and Kortokrax followed with an RBI triple that knotted the game at 5-5. See RALLY, page 8

Triples send Pirates to fast start, win over Lancers

BY NICK JOHNSON DHI Correspondent MIDDLE POINT - The Lincolnview Lancers baseball team welcomed Continental to Lincolnview High School on a cloudy Tuesday, but the Pirates were able to run-rule the home team by a score of 14-3. Continental started the game off with a bang, as back-to-back hitters tripled to start the first inning. Zac Schwarzman lead off the game with a three-bag hit and came around to score on a triple by Terry Dockery III. Fred Sheppard came up two batters later and walked to bring up Gabe Williams who also hit a triple to score Sheppard to make it 3-0, Pirates. Williams dented the plate on a passed ball to give Continental a four-run first inning. In the Pirate half of the third inning, Sheppard walked and reached second base on a passed ball. The next batter, Williams, singled home Sheppard to make the game 5-0. With two outs in the bottom of the third inning, the Lancers got singles from Nick Leeth and Austin Leeth to put two runners on base. Kyle Williams stepped to the plate and crushed a ball to right field that rolled to the fence. By the time the Pirates got the ball back into the infield, Williams slid into home for a three-run inside-the-park homer to cut the Continental lead to 5-3. The Pirates would strike back with six runs in the top of the fourth inning includ-

ing RBI singles from Terry Dockery III and Tyler Dockery, but the big knock was a Schwarzman two-run triple to make the score 11-3. Continental pushed three more runners across home plate in the top of the fifth frame with a two-run base knock by Tyler Dockery and a RBI single from Austin Mansfield to push the Pirate lead to 14-3. Mansfield got a fly ball to centerfield to end in the game in the bottom of the fifth inning and give the Pirates a 14-3 victory over the Lancers. Consistency. We put together a good game last night and we came out and backtracked a little bit. They need to stick with what we are preaching, and we feel confidence that that is going to happen. Again, more consistency with swings and tracking pitches and just having better at bats, said Lancers coach Kevin Longstreth. Continental coach Terry Dockery Jr. was pleased with the way his team played. We hit Lincolnview first baseman Conner McCleery makes a swipe at a Continental base the ball pretty good from the start of the game runner sliding back to first.

Knights score in 12th inning to sneak past Wildcats

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com CONVOY Monday afternoon/evening was almost a perfect time for baseball at the Crestview Sports Complex, with comfortable temperatures and the sun peaking out later. Jefferson and Crestview played one for the ages, going 12 innings in a Northwest Conference struggle. In the end, Crestview played small-ball to perfection in the last of the 12th, scoring with one down to grab a 4-3 dandy. Cam Etzler (2-for-5, 1 run) led off their half-frame against Jefferson reliever Zach Ricker (3-3; 4 1/3 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run, 1 base-on-balls, 4 strikeouts) with a free pass, stole second, moved to third on a sacrifice by Venice Roberts and scored on lefty-swinging Jordan Roops ground ball to shortstop, beating Ross Thompsons throw home to catcher Austin Jettinghoff. The run gave southpaw Damian Helm, the third Crestview hurler, the win (5-0; 2 IPs, 2 hits, 2 Ks). Isaiah Simerman (4-plus IPs, 3 hits, 3 earned runs, 3 BBs, 5 Ks) and Roberts (6-plus IPs, 2 hits, 1 BB, 2 Ks) combined to limit the Wildcats (13-9, 2-6 NWC) to four hits in the first 10 frames. Thompson (10 hits, 3 runs, 1 earned, 3 Ks) held down the Knights (12-3, 8-0 NWC) for the first seven innings. Drew Kortokrax had the only multi-hit night at the plate for the Wildcats, going 2-for-5. Besides Etzler, other Knights with multiple hits were Nate Owens (3-for-5, 1 runs, 1 run batted in), Simerman (2-for-6, 1 RBI), Helm (2-for-6), Bryce Richardson (2-for-6)

Jeffersons Ross Thompson delivers a pitch to the plate against Crestview Monday in Convoy. (Delphos Herald/Tina Eley) and Jake Harmon (2-for-6, 1 run). We played our rear ends off; I couldnt be prouder of the effort we showed today. We pitched very well between Ross and Zach and our defense made some terrific plays behind them, Jefferson coach Doug Geary noted. We did well in two of the three phases today: pitching and defense. The offense struggled. Crestview started with their number 4, then brought in their number 2 and closed with their ace, so they went backwards today. We needed a game like this, where every pitch was big, with the tournament starting Saturday (2:30 p.m. versus Parkway at Shawnee). Earlier on, we were beating teams by wide margins or getting beat the same way. Crestview mentor Jim Wharton was

extremely pleased with his team. We got some great pitching. Isaiah got us off to a good start, Venice came in and did even better and Damian had to pitch out of two tough situations; he showed why he is one of the premier pitchers in the NWC, Wharton added. We had plenty of opportunities to score runs; we struggled getting the clutch hit. At the same time, I think the effort Jefferson gave today with nothing but pride on the line in the NWC for them and us having the lead shows the character of their players and the good work Doug does with them. Crestview struck for two tuns in the bottom of the second on an error and two hits, including a run-scoring triple by Owens (plating Roberts), and an earlier fielders-choice groundout by Roberts (Harmon). The Wildcats, who left nine on base, got within 2-1 in the top of the third on a line single off the second basemans glove by Seth Wollenhaupt, a 1-out sacrifice bunt by Tyler Wrasman and a run-scoring knock by Thompson. Jefferson tied it at 2-2 in the visiting half of the fourth. Austin Jettinghoff was hit by a pitch, advanced on a blooper to right by Kortokrax, to third on a 1-out walk to Zavier Buzard and scored as Wollenhaupt flied out to right center. The Knights, who left 14 on base at least one in every inning save the first and ninth retook the lead at 3-2 in the fourth on 1-out double to deep center by Owens, a misplayed grounder by Brock Rolsten and an RBI hit by Simerman. See WILDCATS, page 8

Errors
(Continued from page 6) Miller City added a run in the third inning as Riepenhoff and Drummelsmith worked one out walks and Hunter Berner reached on an error at third base that allowed Riepenhoff to score and put Wildcat runners at second and third. Big Green lefty Derek Schimmoeller avoided further trouble getting a popup foul to his catcher and a fielders choice play to end the inning. While Miller City starter Ross Lehman struggled with the command of his pitches in the wind, the Big Green were only able to push across runs in the first inning. Ottoville had base runners in every inning, but the fourth, but could not get a clutch hit after the first. Lehman moved to 4-1 on the season as he allowed two runs on three hits with three strikeouts and six walks. Ross did not have his command tonight, like sometimes he normally can, Pester said. He battled and thats what we ask of our guys. He has to kind of battle and if he is not hurt, he is going to work through it. Ross has that Bulldog attitude where he doesnt want to come out of the game. His pitch count was getting high, but it kind of worked out for us tonight. Schimmoeller only worked three innings for the Big Green before giving way to Alex Horstman. He worked out of a jam in the fourth, but in the fifth the Wildcats touched him up for seven runs to end the game. Ottoville had a pair of errors in the inning to help Miller City. Drmmelsmith had a two run single in the inning, while Kaufman, Jared Fuka, Lehman, Berner and Dukes all had an RBI in the inning. The game ending run scored when Berners groundball to short was misplayed allowing pinch runner Travis Maas to score ahead of the throw from the outfield. Ottoville is a good team, but they made some mistakes tonight, Pester said. We were fortunate enough to capitalize on some of their mistakes. I was glad to see us hit the ball like we did. We have been striking out a lot lately and he (Schimmoeller) has a lot of strikeouts on the year. Our focus was to put the ball in play and make the defense work and good things could happen. Derek pitched well early, then the wheels kind of fell off for us, Ottoville coach Tony Castronova said. This is the worst our defense has played all year. But we have to refocus and get ready for a league game on Thursday. They are a good hitting team. They put the ball in play and we didnt make the plays. *** Ottoville 200 00 - 2 3 7 Miller City 041 07 - 12 10 0 WP-Lehman (4-1). LP-D. Schimmoeller.

Lady Knights battle past Jefferson

By NICK JOHNSON DHI Correspondent CONVOY- The Crestview Knights welcomed Northwest conference foe Jefferson to Crestview Sports Complex on Monday night for high school softball and pulled out a 5-2 victory to stay unbeaten in the NWC. The Knights loaded the bases in the bottom of the first inning with singles from Brooke Bowen and Terra Crowle. The Wildcats had the answer for the Crestview batters as Taylor Branham got the next two batters out to keep the game scoreless. Jefferson got two of their first three batters on in the top of the second frame with a walk by Sam Branham and a single by Jessica Pimpas. The Wildcats put up two runs in the inning with an RBI single from Alexis Cook to bring home the second run and make the score 2-0, Wildcats. The Knights had a big half inning of their own when Emily Bauer tripled and Mariah Henry singled to put the Knights on the board with an early run. With two outs, Crowle doubled home two more runs to give the Knights a 3-2 lead. Crestview wouldnt need any more runs as Crowle got 10 of the next 12 outs via the strikeout to hold down the Wildcats. The Knights got another run in the bottom of the fifth inning when Brittany Helt reached base on a dropped third strike and came around to score on a passed ball to make the score 4-2, Crestview. Crestview tacked on another run in its half of the sixth inning when Bowen single to start the frame, stole second base and came around to dent the plate after Kirstin Hicks grounded out to third base to make it 5-2, Crestview. In the top of the seventh inning, Crowle retired Jefferson 1-2-3 to end the game. Today was one of our better games; we hit the ball pretty well and put it in play. Defensively, this was also one of our better games; they got a lot of base-runners that were stranded. We did what we had to do to get out of those innings today, said Jefferson coach Josiah Stober. We played really well today; we played with only three errors for the game. Our defense stepped up and lifted Taylor up in some tough situations. They had

Jeffersons Alexis Cook covers first base during their softball game at Crestview Monday night. (Delphos Herald/Tina Eley) bases loaded or two runners on in multiple situations and our defense was able to get them out by making plays. Taylor pitched her best game of the year and the girls rallied behind her. I think one of the biggest disappointments is the first two innings we left the bases loaded. And tonight we had a total of seven base hits; we just didnt get the ball in play, said Crestview coach Owen Pugh. We were talking to the girls after the game and got inside, working on hitting the stations. We have kind of lost our focus. We just got to get back to meeting the ball and hitting it square. With the win the Knights improve to 12-7 on the season and are still unbeaten in the NWC (7-0). The Wildcats drop to 0-13 on the year (0-8 in the NWC). Jefferson is slated to host Ada Thursday. Crestview hosts LCC Thursday.

Mesoraco, Choo homer as Reds beat Braves, 5-4

AP Baseball Writer CINCINNATI (AP) Devin Mesoraco and ShinSoo Choo hit two-out homers in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Mesoraco connected for his first career pinch-hit homer off Craig Kimbrel (0-1), who blew a save for the second time in five days. Kimbrel went to a full count on Mesoraco before the catcher homered into the first row in center. Four pitches later, Choo hit his second homer of the game, giving him a team-

leading seven. It was his second career game-ending homer. Kimbrel fanned the first two batters in the ninth and was only one strike away from getting his 100th career save. Hed allowed only one homer this season, but gave up two in a five-pitch sequence.

Indians McAllister and 2 relievers blank As 1-0

Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) Zach McAllister and two relievers combined on a shutout and the Cleveland Indians scored an unearned run in the fifth inning for their eighth win in nine games, 1-0 over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. McAllister, Rich Hill and Chris Perez limited the highestscoring offense in the majors to six hits and did not allow a runner to reach second base. McAllister (3-3) struck out four and walked one in 7 2-3 innings. The right-hander was pulled after John Jasos two-out single in the eighth. Hill then retired pinch-hitter Luke Montz to end the inning and Perez pitched the ninth for his fourth save.

Rally
(Continued from page 6) The guys did a good job of battling back and making plays there in the middle of the game, Geary continued. But we also left some runners on in key situations and didnt take advantage of opportunities. Those are the things you want to be doing heading into tournament. The Wildcats took the lead in the sixth. Buzard led off with a single, stole second and moved to third on a bunt single by Wollenhaupt. Buzard then scored on a passed ball to put the red and white on top 7-6. With Wollenhaupt on third and no outs, Jefferson failed to take advantage. Speice retired the next three Wildcat hitters to keep the Raiders within 6-5. Delphos again had a chance to widen the lead in the seventh, getting a Jettinghoff double with one out. Speice got Kortokrax to ground out to second before striking out Herron to keep it 6-5. Wayne Trace then rallied in the seventh. Harvey led off with a single before a Speice single put runners at first and second. Blackmore followed with a run-scoring double to knot the game at 6-6. After Stoller was intentionally walked, Dingus then drew a game-ending walk to score Speice and give the Raiders a 7-6 win. You have to give them credit, Geary concluded. Their top of the order came up and did what they had to do. Speice got the win on the hill for the Raiders, pitching 3 1/3 innings in relief. The junior hurler allowed five hits and three runs while fanning three and walking one. Speice and Sherry each had two doubles and a single for Wayne Trace, which moves to 7-13, and Harvey added a pair of singles. Mead and Blackmore posted a double each. Tyler Rice suffered the loss, giving up four hits, two runs and two walks with two strikeouts. Kortokrax also saw action on the hill, fanning three and allowing one hit in two innings of work. Herron surrendered five hits and five unearned runs along with a walk. Buzard recorded a single and a double with Kortokrax adding a triple and Jettinghoff chipping in a double. Thompson and Wollenhaupt also posted a single apiece. Jefferson hosts Ada Thursday.

(Continued from page 7) The Knights would not score again until their last atbat, though they had chances galore. Thompson and Ricker did the job on the mound, with plenty of solid plays behind them in the field. Jefferson tied it 3-3 in the fifth on a leadoff free pass to Wrasman, a walk to Thompson, a sacrifice bunt by Ricker and a Jettinghoff sacrifice fly to center. Jefferson was then held to three base-runners in the next six frames, including a leadoff triple to right center by Kortokrax to start the 11th that brought Helm to the mound. He got out of the frame with no runs scored. Crestview hosts Bath today and Jefferson hosts Ada Thursday.

BUSINESS

Finding value for old stocks may require some sleuthing

DEAR BRUCE: I have read your column for years. I have some old stocks from the 1930s and would like to know if they have any value. I have tried to look up the companies online, and they are out of business. -- W.S., Lexington, Ky. DEAR W.S.: Since you have access to a computer, you can search out companies that will research old stocks for you. A good place to start is the Securities and Exchange Commissions website (www. sec.gov). It offers suggestions for how to go about tracking down additional information. Also, the Internet has all kinds of websites where you can go for help, sometimes for a fee. By doing some homework, you should be able to find out if the stocks have any value. DEAR BRUCE: Recently Ive been faced with a problem regarding my 69-year-old mother. My mom is in fair health, she works full time, she owns no property, and she has no savings or retirement fund. She has just inherited $100,000 due to her mothers death. Im concerned. With her health as it is, I anticipate her retiring and needing some type of assistance within the next three years. How would you suggest this money be used? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: You have every reason to be concerned, given that your mother has no retirement money other than the modest inheritance she has just received. She is eligible for Social Security, and perhaps she already collects it. You didnt indicate how much her monthly benefit will be if shes not collecting yet. The $100,000 is not going to go very far. If your mother is not amenable to a little risk in her investments, shes condemned to returns of 1.5 percent to 2 percent. If she invests in the market in conservative to moderate dividend-paying stocks, she could anticipate income of $5,000 to $7,000 a year. Without other income, its unlikely she can survive without eating into her principal, which will be dissipated in seven to 10 years. Until the majority of the $100,000 is used, she will not be eligible for Medicaid. I wish I had better news. DEAR BRUCE: I would like to know what a limited liability corporation (LLC) is. What are the advantages and disadvantages of it with respect to taxes, liability and paperwork hassle versus simply working as a single owner of a small business? Do I talk to a lawyer, an accountant or

Smart Money
both? -- Bill, via email DEAR BILL: In the past I have made the same mistake that you have. An LLC is not a limited liability corporation, but rather a limited liability company. It avoids some of the problems with a corporation while still providing some liability protection. As to whether this or a Subchapter S corporation would be best for you, I urge you to speak with both a lawyer about the legalities and an accountant with regard to the tax consequences. No general answer will be sufficient. You must talk to them and be specific as to your own circumstances. In the absence of this, any answer you receive will likely be flawed. DEAR BRUCE: I have a house in another state that I lived in for 10 years and have rented for 15 years. I have depreciated it on my taxes as a rental, and it has appreciated in value. I have considered selling it, but the value of this house is about $120,000 above its current basis. I am about two years from retirement. When I retire, I will probably move back to the community where my house is. Should I sell the house now, or should I wait and move back into this house for two years and sell it later as my primary residence? How different would the tax consequences be? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: Assuming you are going to return to the community in two years, I would continue to rent the house. You have rented it for 15 years already; if you have decent renters and are getting a decent return, why not continue to rent it? If you establish this house again as your primary residence, there will be no tax consequences. If you sell it under the current tax laws, depending on other income, your gain could be as much as 20 percent. By the time you subtract all the expenses of selling it, improvements, etc., Im sure youll reduce the $120,000 considerably.

Dancer Logistics, Inc., adding maintenance building

Employees from Beem Construction, Inc. work on placing insulation and metal siding on Dancer Logistics, Inc.s new 10,000-square-foot maintenance building. Owner Shawn Dancer said the new building should be completed by early June. The construction will allow the company to provide regular maintenance for their own fleet of trucks, semis and trailers, as well as offer 24-hour on-call service for walk-in customers. In addition, future goals of the company will be changing the look of the old warehouse losing the seventies look and replacing it with a gray stucco exterior. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

New stock market milestone: Dow 15,000

STEVE ROTHWELL Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) Just two months after recovering the last of its losses from the financial crisis, the Dow Jones industrial average punched through another milestone Tuesday, closing above 15,000 for the first time. Good economic reports, strong corporate earnings and fresh support from central banks helped ease investor concerns about another economic slowdown. Many had been on the lookout for signs that a spring swoon would derail the rally, as happened in each of the past three years. Instead, the Dow continued its epic ascent of 2013, which has seen it climb 1,952 points almost 15 percent since Jan. 1. The thing thats been driving stocks is rising confidence, said James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management. Economic growth, job creation and the housing market have been better than expected. The Dow closed at 15,056.20, up 87.31 points, or 0.6 percent. The Standard & Poors (NYSE:MHP) 500 index added 8.46 points to 1,625.96, a gain of 0.5 percent. It has jumped 199 points this year, or 14 percent. Both indexes reached alltime highs earlier this year, then kept rising, largely driven by optimism that the U.S. economy will continue gaining strength. We dont think people are giving enough credit to the strength of the economy, said Ryan Detrick, a senior technical strategist at Schaeffers Investment Research. We still like the market. The latest record close extends the stock markets comeback from the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. Six years have passed since the Dow closed above 14,000 for the first time. The S&P has climbed higher for six straight months the longest stretch of gains since a seven-month run that started in March 2009, when the market hit a financial crisis low, and ended in October 2009. All 10 industries in the S&P 500 have joined in the

rally. Health-care companies have led the way, up 19 percent. The Dow, S&P 500 and Russell 2000 index of small companies are all at record highs. The sole exception is the tech-heavy Nasdaq, which remains far below the peaks it scaled in the dot-com bubble. Tuesdays gains piled up with the growing realization among investors that the traditional threats to a rising market higher interest rates, falling profits, a possible recession are unlikely to appear anytime soon. Whats more, with interest rates near record lows, they see few other places to put their money. See MILESTONE, page 12

R e a d e r s s o m e t i m e s SARA NOEL have trouble finding Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda for purchase. If youre unable to find a nearby retailer through armandhammer. com, you can make washing soda at home. The first reader tip tells you how: Homemade washing soda: Sprinkle baking soda onto a pan and bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes to an hour. Youll see a visible difference in color and texture. -- Bridge, Indiana Cream Soup Recipe Cream soup mix: I keep a bag of instant cream soup mix in my fridge all the time, and I use it for recipes that call for any type of cream soup: 2 cups powdered milk 3/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup instant chicken bouillon 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon thyme (optional) 1/2 teaspoon basil (optional) 1/4 teaspoon pepper Combine and store in an airtight container (I use a zipper bag). To make stroganoff that tastes just like the Hamburger Helper kind, add 1/3 cup mix to browned hamburger and precooked egg noodles. Add 1/3 cup milk, 3/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons sour cream; mix thoroughly and bring to simmer. This tastes so much like the packaged stuff that my son didnt know I was doing something different for months. To use for soup, combine 1/3 cup mix and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to boil, stirring often. Add diced celery, sliced mushrooms, chopped broccoli or chopped chicken. To use for recipes calling for a can of cream soup, use 1/3 cup mix and 1 1/4 cups water; boil for a few minutes, stirring often. -- Elphie, email (Sara Noel is the owner of Frugal Village (www.frugalvillage.com), a website that offers practical, money-saving strategies for everyday living.

The Herald 11

Tomorrows Horoscope
THURSDAY, MAY 9, 2013 A new, refreshing personality, more independent and adventurous than your old one, is likely to emerge in the year ahead. Your rejuvenated demeanor will attract fun friends and activities, giving you a whole new lifestyle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -You wont find a better day to decide upon a new course of action. Youll find the courage you need to move forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is a day where your instincts and intuitions will have free rein. Pay particular heed to those that provide you with the insight necessary to fulfill your aims. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A relationship with an old friend could take on added significance. You could join forces to further a mutual interest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Its a good day to establish some new goals, especially if youve been having difficulty achieving your old ones. Success will come from a fresh perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You could reap some unusual benefits through social involvements with friends. People who owe you favors will be looking for a way to make good on their debts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -The possibility of you generating additional income from unusual sources looks promising.

Police facing questions in Cleveland missing girls rescue

THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) One neighbor says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the homes doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows. Both times, police showed up but never went inside, neighbors say. Police also paid a brief visit to the house in 2004. Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago were found captive Monday at the peeling, rundown house, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review to see if they overlooked anything. City Safety Director Martin Flask said Tuesday that investigators had no record of anyone calling about criminal activity at the house but were still checking police, fire and emergency databases. The three women were rescued after one of them kicked out the bottom portion of a locked screen door and used a neighbors telephone to call 911. Help me. Im Amanda Berry, she breathlessly told a dispatcher in a call that exhilarated and astonished much of the city. Ive been kidnapped and Ive been missing for 10 years and Im, Im here, Im free now. Berry, 27, Michelle Knight, 32, and Gina DeJesus, about 23, had apparently been held captive in the house since their teens or early 20s, said Police Chief Michael McGrath. Three brothers, ages 50 to 54, were arrested. One of them, former school bus driver Ariel Castro, owned the home, situated in a poor neighborhood dotted with boarded-up houses just south of downtown Cleveland. No immediate charges were filed. A 6-year-old girl believed to be Berrys daughter was also found in the home, said Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba. He would not say who the father was. The women were reported by police to be in good health and were reunited with joyous family members but remained in seclusion. Prayers have finally been answered. The nightmare is over, said Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in Cleveland. These three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate definition of survival and perseverance. The healing can now begin. He added: Words cant describe the emotions being felt by all. Yes, law enforcement professionals do cry. Police would not say how the women were taken captive or how they were hidden in the same neighborhood where they vanished. Investigators also would not say whether they were kept in restraints inside the house or sexually assaulted. Four years ago, in another poverty-stricken part of town, Clevelands police force was heavily criticized following the discovery of 11 womens bodies in the home and backyard of Anthony Sowell, who was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death. The families of Sowells victims accused police of failing to properly investigate the disappearances because most of the women were addicted to drugs and poor. For months, the stench of death hung over the house, but it was blamed on a sausage factory next door. In the wake of public outrage over the killings, a panel formed by the mayor recommended an overhaul of the citys handling of missing-person and sex crime investigations. This time, two neighbors said they called police to the Castro house on separate occasions. Elsie Cintron, who lives three houses away, said her daughter once saw a naked woman crawling in the backyard several years ago and called police. But they didnt take it seriously, she said. Another neighbor, Israel Lugo, said he heard pounding on some of the doors of the house in November 2011. Lugo said officers knocked on the front door, but no one answered. They walked to side of the house and then left, he said. Everyone in the neighborhood did what they had to do, said Lupe Collins, who is close to relatives of the women. The police didnt do their job. Police did go to the house twice in the past 15 years, but not in connection with the womens disappearance, officials said. In 2000, before the women vanished, Castro reported a fight in the street, but no arrests were made, Flask said. In 2004, officers went to the home after child welfare officials alerted them that Castro had apparently left a child unattended on a bus, Flask said. No one answered the door, according to Flask. Ultimately, police determined there was no criminal intent on his part, he said. Police identified the three suspects as Ariel Castro, 52; Pedro Castro, 54; and Onil Castro, 50. Attempts to reach Ariel Castro in jail were unsuccessful. Ariel Castro was well known in the mainly Puerto Rican neighborhood. He played bass guitar in salsa and merengue bands. He gave children rides on his motorcycle and joined others at a candlelight vigil to remember two of the missing girls, neighbors said. They also said they would sometimes see him walking a little girl to a neighborhood playground. Tito DeJesus, an uncle of Gina DeJesus, played in bands with Castro over the last 20 years. He recalled visiting Castros house but never noticed anything out of the ordinary, saying it had very little furniture and was

filled with musical instruments. I had no clue, no clue whatsoever that this happened, he said. On Tuesday, a sign hung on a fence decorated with dozens of balloons outside the home of DeJesus parents read Welcome Home Gina. Her aunt Sandra Ruiz said her niece had an emotional reunion with family members. Those girls, those women are so strong, Ruiz said. What weve done in 10 years is nothing compared to what those women have done in 10 years to survive. Many of the womens loved ones and friends had held out hope of seeing them again, For years, Berrys mother kept her room exactly as it was, said Tina Miller, a cousin. When magazines addressed to Berry arrived, they were piled in the room alongside presents for birthdays and Christmases she missed. Berrys mother died in 2006. Just over a month ago, Miller attended a vigil marking the 10th anniversary of Berrys disappearance. Over the past decade or so, investigators twice dug up backyards looking for Berry and continued to receive tips about her and DeJesus every few months, even in recent years. The disappearance of the two girls was profiled on TVs Americas Most Wanted in 2005. Few leads ever came in about Knight. Knight vanished at age 20 in 2002. Berry disappeared at 16 in 2003, when she called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King. About a year later, DeJesus vanished at 14 on her way home from school. Jessica Aponce, 24, said she walked home with DeJesus the day the teenager disappeared.

Diglia says voters will probably see another issue in November. I dont think the board will have any other choice but to go back on the ballot again in November, he said. Another defeat would be devastating. Even with the bleak outcome, Diglia says Elida is appreciative of the community support over that last few months. Its disappointing, certainly. The low voter turnout was a big surprise but as far as yes votes, it was close, he said. Ive been a part of nine different levy campaigns and I cant think of any other that had as much momentum and positivity as this one. We really appreciate the work the levy committee did; Ive never been a part of anything so positive. Elidas 1.0-mill Permanent Improvement Levy Renewal was passed by voters 2,408 to 1,565. Allen County voters passed The Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District (JAMPD) 0.75-mill 10-year replacement levy

Claypool

Tuesday night, with 72.2 percent of voters approving it. The levy, which is the park districts primary source of funding, raises $1.2 million per year, accounting for 80 percent of the districts total budget. Park District Director Kevin L. Haver, who has served the district for 36 years, said this was the highest percentage win ever. Haver and his team committee, volunteers and staff were very pleased with the turnout. He said they worked hard on the campaign the past three years and were very diligent the past four months in between monthly meetings. Even though it won, it generates substantially less revenue due to changed tax codes, Haver explained. A 0.75-mill today results in $255,000 less than 20 years ago. Haver said that he and his staff are ready to get back to work. At this point, we are in a hold, maintain and renovate mode, Haver detailed. We need to take care of what we have. Haver said that in the future, the Park District will probably have to ask for a new levy. We dont know what might happen in the future, Haver said. We are doing things the correct way.

A look at the charges in Jodi Arias murder trial

Milestone

the decision to become a real estate agent after being in the market for a house of her own. Around that time, we were looking at houses ourselves and I really enjoyed just going through all the different homes and seeing the different styles, she said. I was a stay-at-home mom and then I started to look for something that would provide me with extra income but also offer some flexibility. Real estate seemed like a good fit. Once she decided to enter real estate, Claypool took four classes and a test to acquire her agents license in 2004. In 2006; she got her brokers license. A broker has the opportunity to go out and work on their own, she said. A sales agent has to work under a broker. I was with another agency for eight years before I switched to Schrader. As for whether or not she

will strike out on her own as a broker, Claypool says she doesnt see it happening anytime soon. Theres always the possibility but I wont do it while my kids are still young. Lauren is 20, Brittney is 17 and Kristina is 13, she said. Im happy where I am right now. I have it good with Krista (Schrader). Shes a wonderful person to work for. No two days are the same for Claypool but her job duties are always consistent. Im usually out showing houses or taking care of the different properties I have, she said. There are multiple listings for properties, so all of us kind of work together. We dont just show our own listings. If someone wants to see a house thats under another broker, I can show it to them. I also do some market analysis for banks who want to know where the market is to bid on a home, she added. The market has been steady.

Ive been working a little harder than I was a few years ago but if youre working hard at it, you can do well. While Claypool is a fulltime agent for Schrader, she also works for SAFY. People always say so real estate is your part-time job, she said. No, theyre both full-time jobs. There are no off days. The other day I took a half-day off to shampoo my carpets. I got a call from a client wanting to see a listing I have in Lima, so I stopped what I was doing and drove over there. After I got back home, another client called wanting to see the same property. I couldve said no, that it was my day off, but then they couldve gotten another agent to show it to them. Thats one thing about this job; whatever you put into it is what you get back. For those who have plans to sell their homes, Claypool has a nugget of advice. The less personalization there is, the easier it is for people to see themselves in

your home, she said. If you arent using something, put it away, just de-clutter. I know thats hard when youve lived in a home for years but the less of you someone sees, the better. Claypools favorite part of real estate is dealing with her clients. The best part for me is to see how excited people get when they get their first home. Being able to help them through that process is the greatest feeling, she said. I love helping people realize their dreams. I have some clients now that want to downsize and move out of state. I want to help them do that. A lot of clients become lifelong friends because you spend a lot of time working with them. I cant think of anything I dont like about this job, theres really nothing bad, she continued. Actually there is one thing, trying to get the signs in and out of the yards when the ground freezes.

PHOENIX (AP) A jury of eight men and four women is deliberating Jodi Arias fate. Jurors have several options as they consider four months of testimony and evidence in the case: FIRST-DEGREE MURDER: If jurors believe that Travis Alexanders June 2008 killing at his suburban Phoenix home was a premeditated act, they can convict Arias of first-degree murder. This charge carries a possible death sentence or life in prison. Jurors also can consider a more complicated firstdegree murder count that says she committed an act of burglary in the course of killing him. The arguments: Prosecutors say Arias began plotting a murder several days in advance and made a road trip to Alexanders house intending to kill him. They say she stole a gun from her grandparents home, removed her license plate to avoid detection and turned off her cellphone while she was in Arizona so law enforcement couldnt track her. The defense said the killing was self-defense and noted theres no direct proof she ever brought a gun to Alexanders home. If the jury convicts her of first-degree murder, the trial will continue as the same panel decides whether Arias should get the death penalty. SECOND-DEGREE MURDER: If jurors think Arias didnt premeditate the killing but still intentionally caused the death of Alexander, they can find her guilty of second-degree murder. The sentencing range for this charge is 10 to 22 years in prison. The 32-year-old Arias already has spent nearly five years in jail. The arguments: A conviction on this count would be a victory for the defense, since it would spare Arias life and get her out of prison before shes 50 years old in a worst-case scenario. Prosecutors say theres no doubt she committed second-degree murder, but they are pushing for first-degree. If the jury finds Arias is guilty of either first-degree murder or second-degree murder, but has reasonable doubt as to which one it is, they are directed to convict her of second-degree murder. MANSLAUGHTER: If jurors think Arias didnt plan the killing in advance, but instead believe the attack occurred upon a sudden quarrel or in the heat of passion after adequate provocation from Alexander, they can convict Arias of manslaughter. A conviction on this charge carries a sentence of seven to 21 years in prison. ACQUITTAL: If the jury believes Arias killed Alexander in self-defense, it could find her not guilty of all charges, in which case Arias would be released.

In a round of interviews on Monday, investor Warren Buffett said the stock market looked reasonably priced even after its surge. But, Buffett added, people pay too much attention to markets reaching new highs. They ought to pay attention when markets hit new lows. Thats when stocks are getting cheaper, Buffett told CNBC. Thats when stocks are going on sale. But people do get more excited when they see new highs. More than 400 of the S&P 500 companies have turned in first-quarter results, and more than seven out of 10 have beaten Wall Streets earnings expectations, according to S&P Capital IQ. Those analysts estimate that earnings increased 5 percent in the first quarter and will pick up their pace through the rest of the year. News of stronger hiring over the past three months briefly propelled the Dow over 15,000 on Friday, but it ended the week below that mark. On Tuesday, the U.S. market fol-

lowed Japanese and European indexes higher after they responded to good news about central bank stimulus and the German economy. The U.S. also got a lift from higher quarterly profits at satellite TV company DirecTV and watchmaker Fossil. Fossil stock leapt $8.92, or 9 percent, to $107.88 after the company said higher sales lifted its earnings. DirecTV, the countrys largest provider of satellite TV services, surged $3.99, or 7 percent, to $61.95 after its earnings beat analysts expectations. The company reported more subscribers in the U.S. and Latin America. For the Dow, it was the 17th straight Tuesday of increases. The only day of the week with a longer series of consecutive gains is Wednesday, which logged a streak of 24 in 1968, Detrick said. In other trading, the Nasdaq composite rose 3.66 points to 3,396.63, up 0.1 percent. Thats still a far cry from its dot-com era high of 5,048 from March 10, 2000. Japanese stocks surged, pushing the Nikkei above 14,000 for the first time

in nearly five years. The Nikkei has jumped 36 percent this year after the Bank of Japan announced a new aggressive monetary policy to get the country out of its two-decade stagnation. In Europe, Germanys main DAX index touched a record of 8,195, bouyed by surprisingly strong industrial orders. Detrick said he was particularly encouraged by the resurgence in smaller stocks, which suggested a broad recovery beyond larger companies. The Russell 2000 index has gained 14 percent this year. In the market for U.S government bonds, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note edged up to 1.78 percent from 1.76 percent in late Monday trading. Optimism over the U.S. economy has yanked the yield up over the past week, as traders shift money out of the safety of the Treasury market. The yield sank to its low for the year, 1.63 percent, last Thursday. Associated Press Writer Bernard Condon in New York contributed to this report.

A man, having purchased a case of rare, very expensive cigars, insured them against get this fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of fabulous cigars and having yet to make a single premium payment on the policy, the man filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the man stated that he had lost the cigars in a series of small fires. The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in a normal fashion. The man sued and won. In delivering his ruling, the judge stated that since the man held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable, and also guaranteed that it would insure the cigars against fire, without defining what it considered to be unacceptable fire, it was obligated to compensate the insured for his loss. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the judges ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in the fires. After the man cashed his check, however, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of arson! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used as evidence against him, the man was convicted of intentionally burning the rare cigars and sentenced to 24 consecutive one year terms.
