50 daily www.delphosherald.com BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), of the 33,561 people who died in motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2012, 10,322 were due to alcohol-impaired driving. Thats one life every 51 minutes, which accounted for 31 percent of the overall fatalities. The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) reports a decrease in Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI) enforcements in Allen and Putnam counties in 2013; conversely, Van Wert County has experienced an increase in OVI arrests. Since the beginning of 2014, there have been 73 OVI enforcements in Allen, zero in Putnam and 19 in Van Wert County. Within the same time frame last year, there were 84 arrests in Allen, seven in Putnam and 13 in Van Wert. Current statistics reflect a 46 percent increase in Van Wert arrests. In 2013, there was a decrease in the number of OVI-related injury crashes in Allen

County, which had 44 a decrease of eight from 52 and Putnam County, which tallied seven a decrease of nine from 16. In contrast, Van Wert County reported 12 OVIrelated injury crashes in 2013; a 50 percent increase over the prior years six. The overall number of OVI-related fatal crashes in 2013 decreased with a total of four; one in Allen, zero in Putnam and three in Van Wert. In 2012, there were a total of seven, with three in Allen, one in Putnam and three in Van Wert. Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro said fatal crashes within the city limits whether OVI-related or not are rare. He said speeds in town are not conducive to fatal crashes. Fittro reported that there were 13 OVI arrests in Delphos in 2013. Of those arrests, nine were men and four were women; seven fell in the 18-30-year-old range and six were 31-60 years old; and the majority were picked up between 5 p.m.- 3:30 a.m. In 2012, there were 16 OVI arrests and of those, 13 were men and three were women; 12 were between the ages of 18-30 and four were aged 31-60; and 75 percent of the arrests

Delphos, Ohio hands the officer a credit card rather than a drivers license and is then given another chance to give the officer the license but hands over a fuel savings card, thats an indicator. As well, there is the slurring of words, bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol. The officer has to make the decision if the driver is that impaired. Fittro said there are cases where someone who has not had a drink in a long time has a low tolerance has a beer and is all over the road. They could test under .08 g/dl limit and still be charged with an OVI, Fittro detailed. He said the big thing with OVI is a person can be operating a motor vehicle anywhere in the state, whether on public or private property, and be charged with the crime. For example, if someone is drunk mowing their lawn on a riding mower, they can be arrested. Its not that an officer will stop, say hello, ask you if youve been drinking and then arrest you, Fittro said. Its more about the guy who drives his mower to Chief to get a package of hot dogs. See OVI, page 8A

were made between 6 p.m.-2:30 a.m., with the remainder being picked up 2-3 p.m. The level of impairment is determined by the officer by Field Sobriety Test and observation, Fittro stated. There are a lot of indicators. For example, if a driver is pulled over and

Unemployment bounces back up in January

Staff reports news@delphosherald.com After a big drop in unemployment in December, the jobless rate was back up all over northwest Ohio in January. In fact, every Ohio county saw its unemployment rate rise for the month.

Putnam BOE locked in tug of war over Deputy Director

BY ANNE COBURNGRIFFIS Sentinel Editor news@delphosherald.com OTTAWA After two rounds of debate in executive session in as many weeks, the Putnam County Board of Elections voted Tuesday to place Karen Lammers in the position of Director of the PCBOE. The special meeting held Tuesday was called after voting on the same issue resulted in a 2-2 tie during the March 5 meeting. We voted on the director again and went ahead and appointed Karen, said Virginia Price, PCBOE chairman. Someone indicated they were willing to compromise and so we had a revote. Lammers position came into question during the March 5 meeting when BOE member Tom Jerwers made a motion to enter into executive session to dismiss both Lammers and PCBOE Deputy Director Shelly Burkhart. According to member Tony Wobler, he and member Carla Tooman nominated Lammers for the directorship during the March 5 meeting. This nomination, in accordance with BOE reorganization, was made five times, with the motion made by Wobler and seconded by Tooman. After several hours of deliberation in executive session, the vote remained at a 2-2 tie with Wobler and Tooman, both Democrats, voting to hire Lammers and Republicans Jerwers and Price dissenting. Neither Republican made a nomination for the position. However, BOE members are still at an impasse over whether or not to keep Burkhart in the deputy director position. Another twoto-two split over Burkharts retention resulted in two voting ties on Tuesday: 1. To continue without a deputy director; 2. to advertise for a new deputy director. According to a written statement made by Wobler and Tooman to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, no documentation exists that indicates poor performance by Burkhart. I feel that [Lammers and Burkhart] have done an exemplary job since I came on the board last fall, said Wobler. Its been running like a well-oiled machine. They were some of the top elections employees for the state for reporting. While still in executive session, a nomination was made to offer BOE clerk Mary Sybert the position. She declined the nomination. In order to move forward in the placement process, both the opposing BOE members and the two in favor of Burkharts nomination must submit letters stating their positions to Husted. SOS Region 1 Liason Tim Monaco was in attendance on Tuesday and clarified that Burkart is to remain in her current role as Deputy Director until the tie is decided by the SOS. Going forward, once our office receives the tie vote materials from the board, the Secretary will carefully review what has been submitted and consider the statements made by both sides before making a decision,

In figures released Tuesday by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), Allen and surrounding counties each saw unemployment rise sharply for the month, partially due to the

end of some holiday jobs. In Allen County, the jobless rate rose from 6.9 percent in December to 7.6 percent for January. The rate was 7.0 percent in November. The county labor force estimate shows 600 fewer on the employment rolls and 3,700 of 48,300 unemployed. In Van Wert County, the 6.1 percent rate from December rose to 6.5 percent in January. The rate for Van Wert County was at 6.8 percent in November.

responded Matt McClellan, SOS press scretary. Lammers became the countys BOE deputy director on Oct. 6, 2008. She took over the BOE deputy director position on Feb. 11, 2008. Burkhart has been the BOE deputy director since Jan. 12, 2009. Jennifer Brunner, Husteds predecessor, placed the PCBOE under administrative oversight following what she referred to as a meltdown of voting machines during a 2008 special congressional election. The board remained under oversight until March 2009. Monaco was present during both March meetings as it is common practice for regional SOS representatives to attend county boards of elections meetings.

Today is Thursday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2014. There are 293 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On March 13, 1964, bar manager Catherine Kitty Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, N.Y. home; the case generated controversy over the supposed reluctance of Genoveses neighbors to respond to her cries for help. (Genoveses killer, Winston Moseley, remains in prison.) On this date: In 1764, Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who served as British Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834 (and for whom Earl Grey tea is named), was born in Falloden, Northumberland. In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners. In 1901, the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, died in Indianapolis at age 67. In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) In 1933, banks in the U.S. began to reopen after a holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, a gang that included John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson robbed the First National Bank in Mason City, Iowa, making off with $52,344. In 1947, the Lerner and Loewe musical Brigadoon, about a Scottish village which magically reappears once every hundred years, opened on Broadway. In 1954, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu began during the First Indochina War as communist forces attacked French troops, who were defeated nearly two months later. In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Ind., found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto. In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened fire, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself. Ten years ago: Iran froze inspections of its nuclear facilities after the U.N. atomic agency censured Tehran for hiding suspect activities. (Iranian officials relented two days later.) Luciano Pavarotti performed his final opera, receiving a 15-minute standing ovation following the conclusion of Puccinis Tosca at New Yorks Metropolitan Opera House. (Pavarotti went on to do a series of concerts as part of a farewell tour; he died in Sept. 2007.)

STATE/LOCAL Proposed tobacco tax hike debated by groups

COLUMBUS (AP) Gov. John Kasichs plan to increase the tobacco tax to help fund a state income-tax cut is getting mixed reviews. Retailers and grocers say the move will hurt their profits and cost jobs, while health groups believe the hike will help curb tobacco use. Some anti-smoking organizations, including the American Lung Association and American Heart Association, contend the 60-cent tax hike on packs of cigarettes is not enough. They want more than double that amount. The tobacco tax increase is part of a larger policy package announced by the governor on Tuesday that promises to reduce Ohio income taxes by 8.5 percent over the next three years, lowering the top tax rate to 4.88 percent by 2016. For a median-income couple with two kids, thats a cumulative tax savings of about $350 from 2011 to 2016, the administration estimates. The nearly $2.2 billion income-tax cut is paid for through a combination of tax increases on commercial activity, oil and natural gas drilling and cigarettes. Per-pack cigarette taxes would increase 48 percent over two years, from $1.25 to $1.85 under the governors proposal. Other tobacco products including electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco would see similar tax hikes. The measure couples those increases with $26.9 million in national tobacco settlement money for smoking cessation and prevention programs. The House Ways and Means Committee started hearings on Kasichs plan Wednesday afternoon, though its chairman, state Rep. Jeff McClain said the proposal could be broken into roughly 15 separate bills to be further studied by as many as 11 legislative committees. Ohio Tax Commissioner Joe Testa said in written testimony to the panel that the tobacco-tax hike would produce about $200 million in its first year and more than $300 million in the following years to help offset the income-tax cut.

A flurry of accidents midway between Toledo and Cleveland blocked the toll road in both directions beginning in the early afternoon. Emergency workers were having a difficult time responding because of the road conditions and traffic backups, said Staff Lt. Anne Ralston, a spokeswoman with the State Highway Patrol. The crashes happened in the turnpikes eastbound lanes near the city of Clyde. Video from the Sandusky Register shows at least a dozen tractor-trailers smashed together near an overpass. A state trooper investigating one of the initial accidents suffered serious injuries when another driver slid into him and pinned the trooper between two vehicles, Ralston said. Trooper Andrew Clouser of the patrols Milan post was in serious but stable condition after being treated at a Toledo Hospital for injuries to his legs and abdomen, she said. Clouser, 29, has been with the patrol just over a year. The patrol was hoping to release today the names of the people who died in the crashes.

E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: How is it that global warming could cause an increase in health problems and disease epidemics? Do we have any evidence that it is already happening? Jim Merrill, Provo, UT Global warming isnt just bad for the environment. There are several ways that it is expected to take a toll on human health. For starters, the extreme summer heat that is becoming more normal in a warming world can directly impact the health of billions of people. Extreme high air temperatures contribute directly to deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory disease, particularly among elderly people, reports the World Health Organization (WHO). In the heat wave of summer 2003 in Europe, for example, more than 70,000 excess deaths were recorded. WHO adds that high temperatures also play a role in elevated levels of ozone and other air pollutants known to exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular problems. And according to the nonprofit Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), warmer temperatures and higher levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide can stimulate plants to grow faster, mature earlier and produce more potent allergens. Common allergens such as ragweed seem to respond particularly well to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide, as do pesky plants such as poison ivy. Allergy-related diseases rank among the most common and chronic illnesses reports the group. Another way global warming is bad for our health

is that it increases extreme weather events that can injure or kills large numbers of people. According to WHO, the number of weather-related natural disasters has more than tripled since the 1960s. Likewise, increasingly variable rainfall patterns combined with higher overall temperatures are leading to extended droughts around the world. By the 2090s, climate change is likely to widen the area affected by drought, double the frequency of extreme droughts and increase their average duration six-fold, reports WHO. One result is likely to be a downturn in agricultural productivity along with a spike in malnutrition. Another is less access to safe drinking water, a trigger for poor sanitation and the spread of diarrheal diseasesnot to mention resource wars. Perhaps most worrying to public health experts, though,

is the potential for global warming to cause a spike in so-called vector-borne diseases like schistosomiasis, West Nile virus, malaria and dengue fever. Insects previously stopped by cold winters are already moving to higher latitudes (toward the poles), reports UCS. Researchers predict that thanks to global warming an extra two billion people, mostly in developing countries, will be exposed to the dengue virus over the next half century. A related fear is that thawing permafrost in Polar Regions could allow otherwise dormant age-old viruses to re-emerge. Earlier this year, French and Russian researchers discovered a 30,000-yearold giant virus, previously unknown to science, in frozen soil in Russias most northerly region. While the virus, which researchers dubbed Pithovirus sibericum, is harmless to humans and animals, its discovery has served as a wake-up call to epidemiologists about the potential re-emergence of other viruses that could make many people sick. While some of these re-emergent viruses might also be new to science, others could be revitalized versions of ones we thought we had eradicated, such as smallpox.

Elida FFA holds annual banquet Putnam County SHARP group elects board members
Information submitted BY JAMES HOORMAN Putnam County Extension Ag educator I made a major mistake last week on the Dairy Banquet date. The Dairy Banquet is at 6 p.m. March 26 at the Kalida KC hall. Tickets cost $10 and can be purchased at the Putnam County Extension office. The entertainment will feature Matt Bowers, local country music singer. If you purchased tickets, the date is correct on the tickets. The Putnam County SHARP group (Soil Health and Research Plots) met last week to discuss conducting long-term research on County Road H-11 across from the landfill on a nine-acre site. The Putnam County Commissioners have agreed to let Putnam County Extension Office and the Putnam County Soil and Water Conservation District use this site for sustainable conservation research and demonstration. Several farmers and local agribusinesses were represented at the meeting. A group of five local farmers, one farmer representing Soil and Water Conservation District and one agribusiness were elected to a board to help promote and oversee the SHARP site. The representatives were randomly assigned one to three year terms. The following farmers were selected: Steve Liebrecht (three years), Mike Weller (three), Jim Leopold (two), Joe Riepenhoff (two), Glen Karhoff (one) along with a Soil & Water farmer representative Jeff Duling (three) and an agribusiness representative Charlie Maag (one). Every year, at least two new members will be rotated on to serve three year terms on the board. Our next meeting is at noon March 21 at the OSU Extension office. The meeting is open to the public. The purpose of the site is to research sustainable farming methods that improve farm profitability while decreasing environmental impacts. Three farming systems will be compared including conventional farming (tillage every year), a no-till system and a no-till system with cover crops called ecological farming. The goal is to study how the soil changes over time, including looking at soil erosion, nutrient runoff, fertilizer usage and efficiency, water infiltration and storage and ultimately crop yields. This year we plan to plant oats to the entire site to get the site set up for research plots in the fall. The board has decided to work initially drainage issues and then set the research up for three acres of corn, soybeans and wheat to be planted every year. A pre-proposal for a USDA-SARE education and research grant was applied for last November with $50,000 allocated for the Putnam County SHARP site over three years for testing. Out of 175 pre-proposals, our proposal was one of 27 applications selected for the full proposal. Eight to nine proposals will be selected and funded starting Oct. 1. The Putnam County SHARP board is getting the site ready for research whether it is funded or not. This site has also been included in another USDA-Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) to help secure additional funding for the site. A majority of these grants require matching funds, which is obtained by local donations and matching the land and crops for research purposes. Anyone wishing to donate some start-up funds, contact Jim Hoorman at the OSU Extension office. The All Ohio Soil & Water Conservation Society will be holding a conference titled Can Agriculture Significantly Reduce Off-Site Movement of Soluble Nutrients? from 8:30 a.m.-4:40 p.m. Monday at the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Bromfield Auditorium located at 8995 East Main St., Reynoldsburg. Another educational meeting: The Putnam County Beef Producers will host a meeting at the Putnam County Extension office from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Monday on Using Cover Crops as Forages with a free meal by the Beef Producers. The final Pesticide Applicator Training (PAT) will occur from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday at the Kalida KC hall. We will be offing one hour of Core training and two hours of training in Categories 1, 2 and 6. The cost is $35 at the door or you can preregister. New Pesticide Training and Testing will occur from 10 a.m.-noon March 25 with testing from 1 p.m. until about 3 p.m. at the Putnam County Extension Office, 1206 East Second St. in Ottawa. Cost is $20 for the training but the testing is free. The Putnam County Extension office has study materials which we suggest you pick up to study at least a couple days or weeks before the test is given.

lot of games to coach to get there! Back to the story. Extend that question to college basketball or football, especially in the blue-chip programs. Whatever you think about a Jim Boeheim or Coach K or a Geno Auriemma, they built lasting legacies because they didnt just jump at the Next Big Thing but stayed with their heart. I am sure all three have had offers as soon as they started having real success and just said no, they were where they belonged and really wanted to be. They bring to mind legendary figures like Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Bobby Knight and Pat Summitt, who built almost mythical legacies in their years at one school. Pressure? What pressure? Someone doesnt like me? Who cares? They had an almost innate ability to not let anything bother them. However, men and women like that are few and far between any more; the vast majority of head coaches will have been at more than one or two institutions before he/ she hangs up the whistles for good. Lets face it, too: the money involved in sports these days specifically football and college basketball brings pressures that many of the old-timers never had to face but many of them also didnt stay in one spot. Not that I am writing there is anything wrong with perceiving a better position for yourself or family; only the person can answer that question and yes, sometimes the new situation is better. Sometimes, its not. Think of Jerry Faust when he left high school football powerhouse Cincinnati Moeller (the program hed built from 1962-80) for the Promised Land the University of Notre Dame and five years later resigned. He followed his heart who could blame him? The Fighting Irish football program may not quite be the Holy Grail that it was for a long time with all of its consensus national titles, Heisman Trophy winners, legendary coaches and colorful characters its been since the days of Lou Holtz that they won a national title but in those days, ND could probably recruit and get anyone it truly wanted on the gridiron.

with Josh McCown, a backup who got a chance to start five games last season for the Bears in place of an injured Jay Cutler. A player expecting to be on the move soon was Carolina receiver Steve Smith, whose agent, Derrick Fox, told The Associated Press the 5-time Pro Bowl pick is not going to play for the Panthers next year. Fox said he expected Smith to get cut, although Carolina was trying to trade him. In other news Wednesday: Yet another pass rusher became available when defensive end Chris Clemons was released by the Seahawks. Clemons was due to make $7.5 million in base salary next season. He is the fourth member of Seattles defense to be released or sign with another club as a free agent. Tate departs from the offense, getting a 5-year deal worth $31 million with $13.25 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Returner-receiver Jacoby Jones agreed to a 4-year contract to stay with the Ravens. Linebacker Jon Beason agreed to terms to stay with the Giants, who also re-signed kicker Josh Brown and safety Stevie Brown and waived linebacker Marcus Dowtin. Running back Pierre Thomas agreed to a 2-year contract extension with the Saints. Defensive tackle Randy Starks signed a $12 million, 2-year contract to stay with Miami. Tight end David Johnson signed a two-year contract with the Chargers, leaving Pittsburgh. The Steelers re-signed safety Will Allen, long snapper Greg Warren and offensive lineman Cody Wallace. The Eagles agreed to deals with two players expected to help on special teams: former Seahawks safety Chris Maragos and former Texans linebacker Bryan Braman. Linebacker Dekoda Watson went to the Jaguars from the Bucs. Former Rams guard Chris Williams signed a 4-year contract with the Bills then joked he was prepared to go anywhere to get a chance to play.

And the question that has yet to be asked should he even play the Masters? No other player from his generation has spoken more to the media than Woods. Few have given up so little. Part of that most of that is his desire to keep what he considers private matters just that. And that includes his health. Consider a sampling of Woods injuries in recent years. At The Barclays in 2012, he said he felt a twinge in his lower back the morning of the second round and showed great discomfort around Bethpage Black. Must have slept funny on it. Soft beds at the hotel, he added. The next year at the same tournament, he only played only nine holes of the pro-am at Liberty

National, and then chipped and putted on the back nine. My neck and back are a little stiff after a soft bed, he said. And just one of those things, sleeping in hotels and I didnt want to push it. By the end of the week, he dropped to his knees after one shot on the back nine from what he said were back spasms. Woods added it was unrelated to the tightness he felt in his back two weeks earlier in the final round of the PGA Championship. He showed up at Boston the next week, thankful for the Friday start of the Deutsche Bank Championship. He played with a left elbow injury in the U.S. Open last summer at Merion. He said he injured it playing golf at The Players Championship during one of the rounds and that he would still play even if were not the U.S. Open. But he wound up missing the AT&T National two weeks later to rest up for the British Open.

I doubt it he regrets that decision one bit. Good for him. He followed his dream and even though it didnt work out for him as well as hed hoped, he followed it. Nothing wrong with that.

Report: Chinese site may show plane debris images

EILEEN NG Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Murky satellite images that a Chinese science and defense agency said may show debris from the missing Malaysian Airlines jetliner provided a fresh clue today in the search for the plane, pointing searchers to a location nearer to the planes original flight path south of Vietnam. The revelation could provide searchers with a focus that has eluded them since the plane disappeared with 239 people aboard just hours after leaving Kuala Lumpur for Beijing early Saturday. Since then, the search has covered 35,800 square miles (92,600 square kilometers), first east and then west of Malaysia and even expanded toward India on Wednesday. The Chinese sighting, if confirmed, would be closer to where the frantic hunt started. The Xinhua report said the images from around 11 a.m. on Sunday appear to show three suspected floating objects of varying sizes in a 20-kilometer radius, the largest about 24-by22 meters (79-by-72 feet). The images originally were posted on the website of Chinas State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. That site reports coordinates of a location in the sea off the southern tip of Vietnam and east of Malaysia. But since the satellite images were taken four days ago, it is far from certain that whatever they show would be in the same location now. No other governments have confirmed the Xinhua report, which did not say when Chinese officials became aware of the images and associated them with the missing plane. Two-thirds of the passengers were Chinese, and the Chinese government has put increasing pressure on Malaysian officials to solve the mystery of the planes disappearance. Malaysias civil aviation chief, Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said Malaysia had not been officially informed by China about the images, which he said he was learning about from the news. He said if Beijing informs them of the coordinates, Malaysia will dispatch vessels and planes immediately. If we get confirmation, we will send something, he told The Associated Press early today. Until then, he urged caution.: There have been lots of reports of suspected debris. On Wednesday, it was revealed that the last message from the cockpit of the missing flight was routine. All right, good night, was the signoff transmitted to air traffic controllers five days ago.

Gas blast destroys 2 NY buildings; 3 people dead

JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press NEW YORK A gas leak triggered an earthshaking explosion that flattened two apartment buildings on Wednesday, killing at least three people, injuring more than 60 and leaving nine missing. A tenant said residents had complained repeatedly in recent weeks about unbearable gas smells. By evening, rescue workers finally began the search for victims amid the broken bricks, splintered wood and mangled metal after firefighters spent most of the day dousing the flames. Heavy equipment, including back hoes and a bulldozer, arrived to clear the mountain of debris where the two five-story East Harlem buildings stood. Flood lights were in place. Thermal imaging cameras were at the ready to identify heat spots bodies or pockets of fire. The recovery was facing hardship in the form of the weather, which was expected to drop into the 20s with rain. Some parts of the debris pile were inaccessible because of a sinkhole caused by a subsurface water main break, officials said. The fiery blast, on Park Avenue at 116th Street, not far from the edge of Central Park, erupted about 9:30 a.m., around 15 minutes after a neighboring resident reported smelling gas, authorities said. The Con Edison utility said it immediately sent workers to check out the report, but they didnt arrive until it was too late. The explosion shattered windows a block away, rained debris onto elevated commuter railroad tracks close by, cast a plume of smoke over the skyline and sent people running into the streets.

TODAYS SMILE

It felt like an earthquake had rattled my whole building, said Waldemar Infante, a porter who was working in a basement nearby. There were glass shards everywhere on the ground, and all the stores had their windows blown out. Police said two women believed to be in their 40s were among the dead. Hunter College identified one as Griselde Camacho, a security officer who worked at the Silberman School of Social Work building. Hunter, in a statement on its website, said she had worked for the college since 2008. At least three of the injured were children; one, a 15-year-old boy, was reported in critical condition with burns, broken bones and internal injuries. Most of the other victims injuries were minor and included cuts and scrapes. Fire officials said some people were unaccounted for but cautioned they may not have been in the buildings. A tenant in one of the destroyed buildings, Ruben Borrero, said residents had complained to the landlord about smelling gas as recently as Tuesday. A few weeks ago, Borrero said, city fire officials were called about the odor, which he said was so bad that a tenant on the top floor broke open the door to the roof for ventilation. It was unbearable, said Borrero, who lived in a second-floor apartment with his mother and sister, who were away at the time of the explosion. You walk in the front door and you want to turn around and walk directly out. The fire department said a check of its records found no instances in the past month in which tenants of the two buildings reported gas odors or leaks.

Senate bill would expand child care, boost safety
WASHINGTON (AP) Child care providers who receive federal support would have to undergo criminal background checks, know first aid and CPR and get other medical training under a bill moving forward in the Senate. The bipartisan measure would change a federal block grant program to expand access to federally subsidized child care and improve its quality. About 1.6 million children use federal subsidies to attend day-care programs at about 500,000 different centers and home-based providers. The bill would require providers to meet a range of health and safety standards, including first aid, CPR and prevention of child abuse and sudden infant death syndrome. The bill also would require annual inspections of licensed programs and require that day-care centers be inspected before they are opened. Most states require inspections of licensed day-care programs, as well as some type of employee training, but standards vary widely. Fortyone states and the District of Columbia require one or more inspections a year, but some states, such as California, only require inspections once every five years, according to a 2013 report by Child Care Aware of America, an advocacy group.

Low-wage jobs unexpectedly a way of life for many

WASHINGTON (AP) For years, many Americans followed a simple career path: Land an entry-level job. Accept a modest wage. Gain skills. Leave eventually for a better-paying job. The workers benefited, and so did lower-wage retailers such as Wal-Mart: When its staffers left for better-paying jobs, they could spend more at its stores. And the U.S. economy gained, too, because more consumer spending fueled growth. Not so much anymore. Since the Great Recession began in late 2007, that path has narrowed because many of the next-tier jobs no longer exist. That means more lower-wage workers have to stay put. The resulting bottleneck is helping widen a gap between the richest Americans and everyone else. Some people took those jobs because they were the only ones available and havent been able to figure out how to move out of that, Bill Simon, CEO of Wal-Mart U.S., acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press. If Wal-Mart employees can go to another company and another job and make more money and develop, theyll be better, Simon explained. Itll be better for the economy. Itll be better for us as a business, to be quite honest, because theyll continue to advance in their economic life. Yet for now, the lower-wage jobs once seen as stepping stones are increasingly being held for longer periods by older, better-educated, more experienced workers. The trend extends well beyond Wal-Mart, the nations largest employer, and is reverberating across the U.S. economy. Its partly why average inflation-adjusted income has declined 9 percent for the bottom 40 percent of households since 2007, even as incomes for the top 5 percent now slightly exceed where they were when the recession began late that year, according to the Census Bureau. Research shows that occupations that once

Obama wants overtime pay for more salaried workers Archives

WASHINGTON (AP) Bypassing Congress, President Barack Obama intends to order changes in overtime rules so employers would be required to pay millions more workers for the extra time they put in on the job. The rules, which would not likely take effect until 2015, are aimed at workers currently designated as supervisory employees but who are exempt from overtime because they get paid a salary of more than $455 a week. Obama plans to order his Labor Department to recommend regulations that would increase that salary threshold and change the definition of what constitutes a supervisor. Obamas attention to overtime dovetails with his emphasis on correcting wage disparities, a theme that he has said will be central to the remainder of his presidential term. It also serves his political ends during a midterm election year, giving him a populist issue along with his calls for a higher minimum wage and better pay for women. The presidents directive, to be announced today, leaves the details of a proposed rule to the Labor Department, which is not expected to come up with a recommendation before the fall. Still, it drew swift protests from Republicans who complained he was sidestepping Congress and from the business community, who said such rules would increase burdens on employers. How does he expect us to work with him? complained Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. Its just a poisonous relationship. The salary limit separating those who get overtime and those who dont was increased to $455 in 2004 during the Bush administration. At the time, it hadnt been increased since the mid-1970s. What we know right now is the threshold has been eroded by inflation, and there 3.1 million people who, if the threshold had kept up just with inflation, would automatically be covered by overtime provisions, said Betsey Stevenson, a member of Obamas Council of Economic Advisers. Overtime and minimum wage rules are set by law in the Fair Labor Standards Act that Congress originally passed in 1938. The law gives the administration some leeway to define the rules through regulations. The law requires most workers to be paid overtime that is 1.5 times their regular wages if they work more than 40 hours per week. The law allows exemptions for executives, managers and professional workers and sets the salary threshold above which workers dont have to get overtime pay. The law also gives employers leeway to define workers as supervisors, and thus ineligible for overtime, even if they spend much of their work day performing nonsupervisory work.

helped elevate people from the minimum wage into the middle class have disappeared during the past three recessions dating to 1991. One such category includes bookkeepers and executive secretaries, with average wages of $16.54 an hour, according to the Labor Department. Since the mid-1980s, the economy has shed these middle-income jobs a trend thats become more pronounced with the recoveries that have followed each subsequent recession, according to research by Henry Siu, an economist at the University of British Columbia, and Duke University economist Nir Jaimovich. That leaves many workers remaining in jobs as cashiers earning an average of $9.79 an hour, or in retail sales at roughly $10.50 jobs that used to be entry points to higher-paying work. Hourly pay at Wal-Mart averages $8.90, according to the site Glassdoor.com. (Wal-Mart disputes that figure; it says its pay for hourly workers averages $11.83.)

White House promotes economic issues facing women

WASHINGTON (AP) Add pay equity to President Barack Obamas 2014 do-ithimself wish list. The White House is launching a campaign to promote a host of economic issues facing women, a key voting bloc in this years midterm election. Obama hosted Democratic female lawmakers at the White House on Wednesday as his Council of Economic Advisers issued a report decrying a gender wage gap. The report highlights that full-time working women continue to earn less than men, despite surpassing men in obtaining college degrees and making inroads into traditionally male-dominated occupations. Despite that good news, what we also know is women are still making 77 cents on dollar including when they enter into these high-paying professions, theyre still making less money, Obama said during the meeting with the female lawmakers in the Roosevelt Room. Obama said he will address economic issues facing women and families at a Working Families Summit on June 23 at Washingtons Omni Shoreham hotel, co-hosted by the administration and the liberal Center for American Progress think tank. The summit was announced as part of Obamas State of the Union address in January, when he declared when women succeed, America succeeds. The White House says ballots cast this fall by single women in particular will help determine which party performs best in the election. They argue the presidents focus on raising the minimum wage is particularly important for those voters, especially those trying to support a family. But lawmakers have not embraced Obamas call for the minimum wage increase Obama got in a partisan dig as he said Congress is being stubborn about these issues, at least some of our good friends on the other side of the aisle. Republicans point out that the White House has its own pay gap an analysis of staff salaries done last fall by the conservative American Enterprise Institute found the presidents female aides were paid 88 cents for every dollar paid to men, about $65,000 to $73,729 annually. The White House responds that men and women in equivalent roles at the White House earn the same amount and that 10 of 16 department heads are women, earning the top White House salary of $172,200. However, the 77-cent gender gap that Obama is criticizing is calculated workforce-wide and does not represent a comparison of equivalent positions.

Putnam County is tied with Van Wert County with the 72ndhighest unemployment rate of Ohios 88 counties with a 6.5 percent rate, up from 5.7 percent in December. Around the area, Mercer County remain as the county with the lowest unemployment rate in the state, although the rate jumped from 3.8 percent in December to 4.4 percent in January with 700 fewer on the job. In Auglaize County, the rate jumped from 4.6 percent to 5.0 percent. In Paulding County, 400 additional names on the unemployment rolls sent the jobless figure from 6.1 percent to 6.8 percent. Across the state, 13 counties still have unemployment rates in double digits from Monroe County at 15.0 percent to Gallia and Coshocton counties at 10.0 percent. Four counties reported a jobless rate at 5.0 percent or below: Auglaize County (5.0), Delaware (4.9), Holmes (4.8), and Mercer (4.4). The Ohio unemployment rate for January dropped two-tenths of a percentage point to 6.9 percent while the U.S. unemploymenr rate for January was 6.6 percent. ODJFS will release the statewide unemployment report for February on March 21.

He said the only time he let someone go was when the individual tested all zeros. The driver had beer cans in the vehicle and couldnt stand up, Fittro said. The driver had some weird medical condition that made him seem drunk. Drivers under 21 may not drive after consuming any alcohol because of the Zero Tolerance Laws, which have been adopted in all states. The concept for the Zero

Tolerance Law is that since it is illegal for people under the age of 21 to drink alcoholic beverages, it should also be illegal for them to operate a motor vehicle with any alcohol in their system. Fittro said the legal BAC limit is .02 g/ dL for a driver under the age of 21. A driver can be 19 years old driving after consuming one beer and be at a .01 g/dL when tested, he explained. They may not be over the limit but they will be arrested for underage consumption.

Zerotolerance.com reports in states that have enacted the law, nighttime fatal crashes involving underage drivers decreased by 16 percent. In comparison to states that did not have Zero Tolerance laws, fatal crashes involving underage drivers went up by 1 percent. On a national level, of the fatal crashes in 2011, the highest percentage of drunk drivers was for drivers ages 21 to 24 (32 percent), followed by ages 25 to 34 (30 percent) and 35 to 44 (24 percent).

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol

HI AND LOIS

FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2014 Its time to put your ideas and triedand-true methods to work. Rely on experience and mix lessons from the past and present in order to come up with solid plans for the future. Being prepared and determined will help you rise to the top. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youll risk your reputation if you rely on secondhand information. Someone may pass off fabrication as fact just to put you in an awkward position. Get all the details before you speak out. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Community get-togethers and specialinterest gatherings are great places to meet new friends. Informal activities and events will enable you to share your enthusiasms with like-minded people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont let others do the talking for you. A colleague may try to present your ideas as his own. Ensure that you are given the credit you deserve for your accomplishments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont let stress get you down. Make your home your refuge. Surround yourself with the people and comforts that make you happy. Take time to relax and reflect. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Strategize how you can make personal improvements. Proper nutrition, regular exercise and plenty of enjoyable activities are all vital to your success and physical and mental health. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youll be extremely convincing today. Make sure you dont harbor any ulterior motives and that you have thought matters through. You will accomplish a lot if you are a team player. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be a little short- tempered. Just because someone has a different viewpoint, it doesnt mean you cant get along. To avoid embarrassment, cool down before you say something youll regret. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Take a moment to do something you enjoy. Perhaps there is a hobby or new friendship youd like to pursue. Indulge in something that is motivating and inspirational; you deserve it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be considerate of others today. Avoid criticizing others and focus on the positive message you want to convey. If you are pushy, you will put a wedge between yourself and someone you care about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Travel delays and other unforeseen problems will plague you. Dont get frustrated over circumstances you cannot control. Keep a positive attitude and do your best to overcome setbacks. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A partnership will face pressure if you encounter a stalemate. If youre willing to compromise, you will find it easier to reach an agreement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You wont feel too sociable today. Take a closer look at your current situation and establish the steps you need to take to advance. Backtracking may be necessary. COPYRIGHT 2014 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
