Public Forum addresses 60 questions submitted by residents

BY NANCY SPENCER Herald Editor nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Satisfaction may not have been reached by all submitting questions for the 2-hour Public Forum Wednesday evening to address a proposed 3-year, 1/4-percent Income Tax Increase Levy at the May Primary Election polls. A similar levy with funds going directly into the General Fund with no earmark was turned down by voters in November. Sixty questions in total from Delphos residents were addressed at the forum. Some questions were directed specifically to council and will be answered during a council meeting. Council members Kevin Osting, Josh Gillespie, Joe Martz and Jim Fortener, along with City Law Director Clayton Osting, attended the meeting.

ness, to budget carry-overs, to emergency services and the 11th police officer alluded to (but not hired) in the 2014 Budget. The majority of questions dealt with how the additional revenue created in the General Fund if the levy passes and the money generated is used for the Parks and Rec Department would be spent. Mayor Gallmeier said the additional funds would be used to balance the budget and address upcoming shortfalls in the Water and Sewer funds, as well as other deficits within the budget. He stressed that if passed, the levy would not see full collection until 2015 because it doesnt take effect until July 1. Many questioned why the levy is being earmarked for Parks and Rec when the budget shortfalls are in other funds. The biggest complaint we had See FORUM, page 10

Jefferson to present Nonesense in the North Woods

Under the direction of Musical Director Michael Stearns, Jefferson High School students perform Nonsense in the North Woods for their parents and family members Wednesday night. Its musical mayhem at Moose Bottom Lake when Bigfoot appears! The story about a local resident being kidnapped by Bigfoot in The National Divulger may be a fabrication by handyman Pete of Lost Loon Lodge but Birch and Pine, assistants to the worst congressman in history, take advantage of the rumored sighting of Sasquatch as an excuse to get their boss out of the office. After all, they are pros at hiding the inept congressman so he wont speak in public about his ludicrous ideas, such as turning the Grand Canyon into a giant lake! With reporters hot on the congressmans trail and lunatic guests pursuing Bigfoot, things get even hairier (and funnier) when Pete decides the guests really should get a chance to see Bigfoot! In the scene above, Bigfoot, played by Kyle Williams, is captured by Pete the Handy Man, played by Nathan Aldrich, and drug before the group of onlookers in the camp lounge. The play will be performed by cast members at Jefferson Middle School Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $6 at the door. (Delphos Herald/Stephanie Groves)

US weighs clemency for inmates jailed for 10 years OBITUARY The Delphos
ERIC TUCKER Associated Press WASHINGTON The Obama administration is encouraging many nonviolent federal prisoners to apply for early release and expecting thousands to take up the offer. Its an effort to deal with high costs and overcrowding in prisons, and also a matter of fairness, the government says. On Wednesday, the Justice Department unveiled a revamped clemency process directed primarily at lowlevel felons imprisoned for at least 10 years who have clean records while in custody. The effort is part of a broader administration push to scale back harsh penalties in some drug-related prosecutions and to address sentencing disparities arising from the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic that yielded disproportionately tough punishment for black drug offenders. These older, stringent punishments that are out of line with sentences imposed under todays laws erode peoples confidence in our criminal justice system, said Deputy Attorney General James Cole in laying out new criteria that will be used in evaluating clemency petitions for possible recommendation for the presidents approval. Though the criteria apply solely to federal inmates, states, too are grappling with severe prison overcrowding. In Nebraska, for example, prisons were at 155 percent of capacity at the end of March. And in California, courts have ordered the state to reduce the inmate population to 137.5 percent of designed capacity, or 112,164 inmates in the 34 facilities, by February 2016. The White House, sometimes criticized as too stingy with its clemency power, says its seeking more candidates for leniency in an overcrowded federal prison system whose costs comprise a sizable percentage of the Justice Departments budget. The systems population has rocketed in recent decades, creating rising multibillion-dollar expenses that officials say threaten other law enforcement priorities and that an inspector generals report last year characterized as a growing crisis. The United States incarcerates about a quarter of the worlds prisoners. Of the roughly 216,000 inmates in federal custody, nearly half are imprisoned for drug-related crimes. But officials say nows the time to consider releasing more prisoners early. These defendants were properly held accountable for their criminal conduct. However, some of them, simply because of the operation of sentencing laws on the books at the time, received substantial sentences that are disproportionate to what they would receive today, Cole said. Officials say they dont know how many of the tens of thousands of drugrelated convicts would be eligible for early release, but an ideal candidate would meet six criteria including no history of violence, no ties to criminal organizations or gangs and a clean prison record. He must also have already served 10 years or more of his sentence and be likely to have received a substantially shorter offense if convicted of the same offense today. The Bureau of Prisons will notify all inmates of the criteria next week and provide electronic surveys to those who think they deserve clemency. The Justice Department expects the vast majority of applicants to be drug prisoners but didnt foreclose the possibility that inmates convicted of other crimes financial fraud, for example could be considered. Its really a coming together of decades of excessive sentencing, particularly in drug cases, combined with attention to the underused power of commutation, said Marc Mauer, executive director of the Sentencing Project, an organization that works on sentencing policies.

Rail safety effort marred by squabbling

JOAN LOWY Associated Press
WASHINGTON Spurred by a series of fiery train crashes, a push by government and industry to make safer tank cars used for shipping crude oil and ethanol has bogged down in squabbling and finger-pointing over whether theyre needed and if so, who should pay. The Transportation Department, worried about the potential for catastrophic accidents involving oil and ethanol trains that are sometimes as many as 100 cars long, is drafting new tank-car regulations aimed at making the cars less likely to spill their contents in the event of a crash. But final rules arent expected until late this year at the earliest, and it is common for such government rulemaking to drag on for years. But one safety official said urgent action is needed. The Obama administration needs to take steps immediately to protect the public from potentially catastrophic oil train accidents even if it means using emergency authority, Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said Wednesday. We are very clear that this issue needs to be acted on very quickly, she told reporters at the conclusion of a two-day forum the board held on the rail transport of oil and ethanol. There is a
very high risk here that hasnt been addressed. The Transportation Department said in a statement in response to Hersman that: Safety is our top priority, which is why were putting every option on the table when it comes to improving the safe transport of crude oil by rail. The freight railroad industry proposed tougher tank-car standards last fall, and recently upped its proposal another notch. The government and the Association of American Railroads say oil being shipped from the booming Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana may be more volatile than previously thought. But oil companies which own or lease the tank cars, and would have to bear much of the cost of tougher standards want to stick to voluntary standards agreed to by both industries three years ago unless it can be shown that new standards are needed, American Petroleum Institute officials said. The railroads, they say, are refusing to share the scientific basis for their proposal. The petroleum institute wants a comprehensive examination of changes proposed by the rail industry, including whatever computer-modeling was used to support tougher standards so that it can be peer-reviewed, said Brian Straessle, a spokesman for the institute. So far, no data has been provided, he said. The railroads are pulling this out of thin air, said Eric Wohlschlegel, another petroleum institute official. See RAIL, page 10
SKorea ferry toll hits 159 as relatives wait

GILLIAN WONG and LEON DROUIN-KEITH Associated Press JINDO, South Korea Divers made their way deeper Thursday into the submerged wreck of a ferry that sank more than a week ago as the death toll neared 160 and relatives of the more than 140 still missing pressed the government to finish the grim task of recovery soon. At a port on this island near the scene of divers' efforts, relatives lined up for a daily ritual, crowding around a large signboard to read updates about bodies found overnight and the search plan for the day. Volunteers posted messages of support: "Please come back home," one of the messages said. "We pray for you." Navy divers today were searching the rear of the ferry's fourth floor, officials posted on a sign board. The coast guard and a rescue company were searching the middle section of the same floor, and another team was to search the front and middle of the fourth floor. Officials also posted new numbers at the port: 159 dead; 143 missing. As divers plunge deeper into the ferry, the work gets harder as they find they have to rip through cabin walls to retrieve more victims. Looming in the background is a sensitive issue: When to bring in the cranes and begin the salvage effort by cutting up and raising the submerged vessel. "Now we think we have to deal with this realistically," said Pyun Yong-gi, whose 17-year-old daughter is among the missing. "We don't want the bodies to decay further, so we want them to pull out the bodies as quickly as they can," Pyun said on Jindo island, where recovered bodies are taken for families to identify.

Patrol pushing motorcycle safety from riders and others

BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT After a long winter, motorists are seeing more motorcyclists on the highways. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is cautioning drivers of motorcycles and other types of vehicles to concentrate on safety on the roadways to help avoid potential tragedies. You have to be very defensive when you ride a motorcycle, cautioned Trooper Chad Spallinger of the Van Wert Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Spallinger has been riding motorcycles for 21 years, putting more than 200,000 miles on various bikes. Most car/ motorcycle accidents are caused by either cars pulling out in front of a motorcycle or someone turning left. You always have to assume that car is going to pull out in front of you or turn left in front of you. They do not see you. If Im coming up on a bike to an intersection where I dont have to stop and the other way does have to stop, if I see a car there, I just start slowing down and getting ready because chances are they are going to pull out in front of me, and I just go with that assumption. Now, nine times out of 10 they dont but if they start to go, Im already slowing down, getting ready for what could happen. Spallinger noted that visibility is the biggest problem of motorcycles. Drivers of cars and trucks must remember that they share the highways with motorcycles. Look twice because that motorcycle will disappear in your blind spot. If you just look in one direction once and hes in your blind spot, if you dont look again and hes moved, youre going to pull out in front of him. Every motorcyclist will say it, They looked right at me. But even if you made eye contact, they may never have seen you because you were in a blind spot or they looked right through you because they werent expecting to see you. Motorcycles just blend in, no matter what color the bike is and what color you wear, said Spallinger. The truck or car driver isnt the only one responsible for motorcycle safety. The rider needs to not only ride defensively but also be sure to learn and develop skills on the motorcycle. It is important for every rider, especially new riders, to be able to handle the bike in every situation. I see a lot of new riders who dont know how to turn a motorcycle, Spallinger pointed out. They are used to being in a car and turning something where to go left you turn the

handlebars or steering wheel left. For motorcycles, thats the exact opposite. If you want to go left, you push your handlebars right and the bike will lean over. We get a lot of crashes where guys just go straight off a curve because they try to manhandle the motorcycle instead of using physics to their advantage. They end up being counterproductive because they are trying to lean but turning their handlebars the way they want to turn and the physics work against them. Motorcycles turn by leaning. According to Spallinger, in around 40 percent of motorcycle crashes in Ohio, the rider does not even have a motorcycle permit. Riders should be licensed and insured and should schedule with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) so they can get their endorsement. It is recommended that all riders take the Basic Rider course to learn the essentials. Its a good program. Ive had several friends who have gone through it. You dont have the option if you are under 18. You have to go through it, Spallinger stated. The closest one here is over at Apollo Career Center over at Lima. I think it was Gov. Taft who signed into law that if you complete that course, you will have your motorcycle endorsement, but you have to have your permit before you go into it. The program usually fills up pretty quickly. Motorcycles are furnished to use for the course. The course has a little bit of classroom instruction, then riding practice in a controlled environment. Spallinger explained, There they teach you braking, acceleration, turning techniques, how to maneuver your bike in a tight area, situational decisions, like an animal running out in front of you. Its taught by experienced riders. Theres a lot to learn. Knowing the laws specific for motorcycles is wise. The laws begin with the licensing process. Those riding with a permit must wear a helmet regardless of age. These riders are not permitted to carry passengers, ride after dark, or ride on Interstate highways. The permit is good for six months. During that time period, riders can schedule their test. We do it here in Van Wert, said Spallinger. You go through, get your paperwork, go to the DMV and you get the little M on your drivers license. Then you still have to wear a helmet for the first year of your endorsement, but you can ride on interstates, carry passengers and ride after dark. Spallinger pointed out that the OSHP is hoping this year will be a safe one for motorcyclists and those who share the road with them.

Thanks to protections under the ESA, populations have since bounced back nicely in two out of the three regions where protections and reintroduction programs were initiated. In the Great Lakes, wolf populations rebounded from just a few hundred individuals in the 1970s to over 5,000 today, expanding their range from Minnesota to Wisconsin and Michigan. In the Northern Rockies, natural migration from Canada and reintroductions in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho have resulted in some 1,700 gray wolves now roaming across Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. Despite these substantial gains, the job of wolf recovery is far from over, reports the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). Wolves
Sheriff to dispose of residents unwanted prescription drugs

Information submittted VAN WERT Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas M. Riggenbach has announced his office will participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday. The Sheriffs Office is working in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Agency to give Van Wert County residents their eighth opportunity in the last three years to rid their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs while also helping prevent pill abuse and theft. Residents can bring their pills or patches for disposal to the office at 113 N. Market St. on Saturday at any time. This is a free service and residents can remain anonymous when dropping off medications, no questions asked. Riggenbach stated the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is an initiative that addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods of disposing of unused medicines flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash both pose potential safety and health hazards. Riggenbach also stated as part of this initiative, his office will continue to accept prescription medications from residents throughout the year. Riggenbach is encouraging everyone to turn in prescription drugs that are expired or no longer needed.
need connected populations for genetic sustainability, and natural ecosystems need wolves; yet today wolves occupy less than five percent of their historic range. Thats why CBD has joined a chorus of voices in urging the federal government to continue protecting gray wolves under the ESA. The U.S. government had been scaling back wolf protections in recent years, so animal advocates werent surprised to see the Obama administrations proposal. In April 2011 Congress attached a rider to a must-pass budget bill that stripped Endangered Species Act protections from wolves in all of Montana and Idaho, the eastern third of Washington and Oregon, and a small portion of northern Utahan unprecedented action that, for the first time in the history of the Act, removed a species from the endangered list by political fiat instead of science, says CBD, adding that wolves were subsequently delisted in Wyoming and the Great Lakes. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Minnesota and Wisconsin have begun public wolf hunting and/or trapping, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cooperating with state agencies, is expanding its program of trapping, radio-collaring and releasing, then aerial gunning the pack-mates of these collared wolvesa program that had been limited to those that preyed on livestock. CBD fears that such tactics will become common if ESA protections are removed in the lower 48 states. See EARTH, page 10
Fracking foes challenge earthquake assurances

JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS A citizens group said Wednesday it isn't taking the word of state regulators that new permitting guidelines will protect public health after earthquakes in northeast Ohio were linked to the gas drilling method of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Members of Youngstown-based Frackfree Mahoning Valley said the science behind the finding is a mystery, and new permit conditions the state is imposing in response do nothing to prevent future quakes. "They're not going to stop any earthquakes, they're just going to pause activity when one is felt," said Youngstown State University geologist Ray Beiersdorfer, who's affiliated with the group. A state investigation of five small tremors last month in the Youngstown area, in the Appalachian foothills, found the injection of sand and water that accompanies fracking in the Utica Shale may have increased pressure on a small, unknown fault. The link has been classified as "probable." The state placed a moratorium on drilling activity at the site near the epicenter of the quakes, while allowing five existing wells to continue production. Beiersdorfer said the Ohio Department of Natural Resources should have produced a scientific report to accompany a geologist's conclusion linking Utica Shale fracking to earthquakes for the first time. Fully understanding the finding could help protect Ohioans from future fracking-related earthquakes, he said. While earlier studies had linked earthquakes in the same region to deep-injection wells used for disposal of fracking wastewater, this marked the first time tremors in the region have been tied directly to fracking. The five seismic events in March couldn't be easily felt by people. Mark Bruce, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources that oversees drilling, said all the data used by scientists is being made available through public records requests. He said issuing a report would have considerably delayed getting the information to the public. "After the last Youngstown events, we were routinely criticized by many groups for taking too long to make public our findings of our investigation," he said. "So this time, in the interest of transparency and timeliness, we felt, 'OK, let's announce what we know.'" The new permit conditions which carry less force than rules or regulations require all new drilling sites within 3 miles of a known fault or seismic activity of 2.0 magnitude or higher to install sensitive seismic-monitoring equipment to get a state drilling permit. Monitoring results will be directly available to regulators so the state isn't reliant on drilling operators providing the data voluntarily.
Gray wolves were added to the Endangered Species List in 1975 after being wiped out across the lower 48 states by government-sponsored trapping and poisoning programs. Thanks to Endangered Species Act protections, populations have since bounced back, but new efforts to de-list them could put the animals under the gun again. (Submitted photo)

Ohio Soybean Association Waiting to plant in optimum recognizes Brown and Gibbs conditions will benefit seeds, plants as Legislators of the Year
JAMES HOORMAN Putnam County Extension Ag Educator Soil temperatures are still relatively cool due to the wet spring with temperatures only in the low 40s until this week. The following information came from the Ohio State University CORN free newsletter which is published weekly (http:// corn.osu.edu/). Ann Dorrance said, Cool, wet soils promote the growth of one of the major seed and seedling pathogens of corn and soybean, Pythium. Some of the more than 25 different species of Pythium are particularly favored by these cooler temperatures. When the soils become saturated, Pythium are actually attracted to germinating seeds and growing roots. When seeds are planted into cool soils, and we have some low temperature nights, the seeds themselves can be injured. To avoid Phythium, plant in as close to optimum conditions as possible. Dont try to beat a major storm front in Ohio that is a classic set up for replant conditions. Keep monitoring soil temperatures because you only want to plant once. Plant on well-drained soils and use a seed treatment with one or more of metalaxyl/ mefenoxam, strobilurin or the new fungicide ethaboxam. Long periods below 50 F and extensive saturated soils can overwhelm the root system in germinating plants. Resistance to Phytophthora sojae (with warmer temperature ) is well known for all of the varieties that you purchase. It is not known how resistant the varieties are to Pythium because there are too many to test. (Dorrance, CORN 2014-10) Dr. Peter Thomison and Steve Culman offer this advice on corn planting: Although weather forecasts call for some warmer temperatures, the forecast for early May is mixed with the possibility of greater rain and low soil temperatures. Delayed planting reduces corn yield potential but attention should be given to management practices that will expedite crop establishment. Although the penalty for late planting is important, avoiding tillage and planting operations when soil is wet should be the highest priority. Yield reductions resulting from mudding the seed in are usually much greater than those resulting from a slight planting delay. Yields may be reduced somewhat this year due to delayed planting, but effects of soil compaction can reduce yield for years (up to 10 years). Farmers typically dont see significant corn yield reductions due to late planting until mid-May or even later. If you originally planned to apply nitrogen pre-plant, consider alternatives so that planting is not further delayed when favorable planting conditions may occur. Although application of anhydrous N is usually recommended prior to April 15 in order to minimize potential injury to emerging corn, anhydrous N may be applied as close as a week before planting (unless hot, dry weather is predicted). In late planting seasons associated with wet cool soil conditions, growers should consider side-dressing anhydrous N (or UAN liquid solutions) and applying a minimum of 30-50 lb/N broadcast or banded to stimulate early seedling growth. This latter approach will allow greater time for planting. Application of P and K is only necessary with the starter if a soil test reveals the soil is below the critical level. See PLANTS, page 10 Information submitted WORTHINGTON The Ohio Soybean Association (OSA) recently recognized Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-OH) as OSA Legislators of the Year. OSA awards this distinction to a legislator or legislators who have shown a tremendous contribution to the success of the Ohio soybean industry. Brown and Gibbs both played critical roles in the passage of the farm bill in early 2014 as both men served on their respective chambers Agriculture Committee. Thanks to their work, Ohio soybean farmers priorities were front and center in the new bill. Its my pleasure to recognize Sen. Brown and Rep. Gibbs as OSA Legislators of the Year, said Jerry Bambauer, OSA president and Auglaize County soybean farmer. As agriculture is only one percent of the U.S. population, it is more important than ever to cultivate the relationships we have with the legislative leaders who understand farmers contribution to U.S. citizens and the economy. I want to thank Sen. Brown and Rep. Gibbs for recognizing that contribution and working so hard on behalf of Ohios 24,000 soybean farmers. During the farm bill process, Brown partnered with Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) to be the leading voices of support for the Agriculture Risk Coverage program, both supported by OSA. OSA farmer leaders presented the award to Brown during a special event and meeting at the farm of Bret Davis, OSA chairman and Delaware County soybean farmer. See LEGISLATORS, page 10

Jefferson uses 11-run 1st to down Bulldogs

wonderful. If you root for the visiting Bulldogs, it was from the depths of hell. Jefferson scored 11 runs in the bottom of the first frame and went on to a 12-7 non-league triumph on a sunny but chilly Wednesday afternoon-evening. It was one of those nights where the routine plays were anything but; it was contagious both ways. We were fortunate to take more advantage against a WBL team, especially in the first inning, Jefferson coach Doug Geary began. Elida coach Todd Grapner was left shaking his head. I have no words for that first inning, he explained. This was the worst we have played this year; obviously, we werent ready to go. We couldnt throw strikes in the first inning and couldnt catch the St. Johns freshman Buddy Jackson slides into home ones we threw. before a throw reaches Bath catcher Dylan Burkholder Wednesday night at Stadium Park.

Good points and bad for instant replay Bath rebounds from loss to gash Jays
JIM METCALFE
Metcalfes Musings
By JIM METCALFE Sports Editor jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com What do you think about the new instant replay system that Major League Baseball has cooked up? Probably about the same as that the National Football League has: good and bad. We all know that the technology the networks have has forced the two leagues the National Basketball Association has a system that is not nearly as extensive and generally much more narrowly focused into this move. I will say this: it has taken out the good old rhubarb between umpires and managers outside of John McEnroe once arguing with the Cyclops machine used for calling the service line in professional tennis, you really cant argue with technology. McEnroe would argue with a ham sandwich! Imagine the late Earl of Baltimore Weaver or Lou Ill throw bases just to make my point and pout Piniella man-
aging in todays game, let alone some of the old, old-timers of yesteryear. Of course, Lou may turn into The Incredible Hulk he is a big man and extremely intense! and yell Hulk will smash! as he pummels the machine into oblivion but that is beside the point. It just isnt the same. Any way, I think it has probably gone the way MLB thought it would: there would be bugs to iron out and fine-tune the process. Eventually perhaps at the All-Star break there will be a time to step back and assess where they need to go from here, if any major changes need to happen and anything that comes up. Just like the NFL they are still working out the bugs. Besides, perhaps the powers-that-be should focus on improving their arbiters! Sometimes I wonder about those guys! Speaking of the NFL, the National Holiday otherwise known as the NFL Draft is coming up. I am not revealing any trade secrets here any trades I make in my fantasy leagues turn to mush, by the way, which is why I dont trade but watching shows like NFL Live and such, the biggest question about this years edition is which team will draft Johnny Football. Most everyone that I have heard comment on him believes he is the most exciting thing since the invention of the wheel until Monday, when I heard one Merrill Hoge assess the soon-to-be NFL quarterback.

By LARRY HEIING DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The Bath Wildcats came to Delphos with a chip on their shoulder after allowing the Wapakoneta Redskins to score 11 runs in the sixth inning in their 20-10 loss Tuesday. Standing in their way like the nerd with a stack of books in the hallway at school was the St. Johns Blue Jays. The Wildcats did their damage, pounding out 11 hits on their way to a 14-4 beatdown at Stadium Park. The Wildcats took a 3-0 lead right off the bat after leadoff man Eric Heffner was hit by the Jays starting pitcher, Eric Vogt, and Tyler Stahr singled. Eric Jordan knocked both runners in with a hit down the right-field line. Vogt then retired Collin Gossard on a pop up and struck out Cam Clark. Vogts opposite number, pitcher Blake McGue, doubled to put runners at second and third with two outs. The Jays committed a costly error on a pop up that allowed Jordan to score and the Wildcats led by three. After St. Johns went down in order in the home half of the first inning, Bath scored three more times in the second, highlighted by a Heffner triple. The Blue Jays benefited from a Bath error on Gage Seffernicks pop up to short that was dropped to get their first base-runner of the game. Kyle Pohlman executed the sacrifice bunt to perfection and Seffernick was in scoring position with one out. McGue threw two pitches in the dirt that allowed Seffernick to come around to score and the Jays were on the board. See JAYS, page 7

Heat go up 2-0, hold off Bobcats 101-97

Associated Press MIAMI LeBron James drove to the rim as time was winding down, got clobbered by Josh McRoberts and sat on the hardwood gathering himself for a few seconds afterward. It was fitting. Miami took Charlottes best shot and survived. James scored 32 points and added eight assists, Chris Bosh scored 20 points and the Heat wasted two big leads before hanging on to beat the Bobcats 101-97 on Wednesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Dwyane Wade scored 15 points and had a steal in the final seconds to seal the win for Miami. He stripped the ball from Chris Douglas-Roberts with the Heat protecting a 3-point lead with about 3 seconds left and the Bobcats never got another shot off. Game 3 is Saturday in Charlotte. The Heat were the NBAs only higher-seed to open the playoffs with two home wins. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 22 points for Charlotte, which got 18 points and 13 rebounds from Al Jefferson, who played through a left plantar fascia strain and shot 9-for-23. So was McRoberts maybe too hard for Miamis liking. Miamis lead was 97-94 with 50 seconds left when James drove and was met at the rim by McRoberts, whose right elbow struck the 4-time NBA MVP around his chin. James immediately began grabbing at his throat and needed much longer than he usually does to get up after a hard foul, which was not called flagrant. James hit the second of his two free throws, making it a 2-possession game and that was critical. Kemba Walker made a 3-pointer with 11.9 seconds left to get Charlotte within one but the Bobcats didnt score again. Walker finished with 16 and Gerald Henderson scored 15 for the Bobcats. Mario Chalmers scored 11 for Miami. So while the Heat were saying that all they have done was hold serve at home, its hard to find a real silver lining for Charlotte. Not only have the Bobcats now lost 18 consecutive games against Miami but the Heat have never dropped any of the previous 11 postseason series in which theyve grabbed a 2-0 series lead. Miamis lead was 91-77 midway through the fourth,and after blowing a big first-half lead, it appeared as though the Heat finally had some breathing room. A few minutes later, it looked a whole lot different. Walker, Kidd-Gilchrist and Douglas-Roberts combined on a 10-0 run, getting the Bobcats within 91-87. But Bosh scored on consecutive possessions, pushing the Heat lead to eight with 3:36 remaining. Miami led 57-47 at the half and the Bobcats who missed 17 of their first 22 shots were fortunate, after facing a 16-point deficit at one point in the early going.

NBA Playoff Glance
Jays
(Continued from page 6)
The Wildcats rolled out another 3-spot for the third consecutive inning when Heffner came through again, knocking a double to left field with the bases full. After Stahr walked, Bath again loaded the bases with two outs. Ben Wrasman made a diving catch in center field to rob Gossard of extra bases and saved further damage by the Bath offense. Senior right fielder Andy May led off the bottom of the third inning with a base hit to left and Wrasman followed with a walk. McGue quickly ended the chances of the Jays mounting a comeback with a double play and a strikeout to escape the jam. Blue Jays head coach Ryan Warnecke made a pitching change to start the fourth inning, sending Jesse Ditto to the hill and Vogt moved to left field. Ditto held the Wildcats scoreless in the inning for the first time, sending Bath down in order. After Pohlman was hit by a McGue pitch, Buddy Jackson returned to form with a single to right field. McGue then beaned Josh Warnecke to load the bases with only one out. Vogt plated Pohlman with a base knock to center to cut into the lead 9-2. McGue got the second out of the inning on another strikeout but Wrasman delivered in the clutch with a single down the left-field line for two runs batted in. Bath responded in the top of the fifth inning with another 3-run rally, collecting a trio of hits around a pair of walks to extend the lead to 12-4. For the third inning in a row, the Jays had

at least two base-runners and looked like they were ready to have a big inning. T. J. Hoersten reached base on a Bath error and Seffernick walked with no outs. McGue then turned up his fastball a notch and struck out the next three batters to escape another Blue Jay scoring threat. Ditto mixed up his pitches in the sixth inning with a variety of off-speed pitches and fastballs to retire the first two Wildcat batters. Andrew Renner ripped a double to the fence in left field and Chase Clark reached after being hit by a pitch. A pair of wild pitches and a 2-run single by Luke Niebel secured a 14-4 Wildcat lead. Ditto settled down to retire Hayden Atkins on a strikeout. The Jays again had two base-runners reach safely in the sixth inning as Wrasman and Ditto singled with two outs. Fifth-year Bath head coach Brian Jesko then elected to bring in 6-6 Findlay-bound basketball standout Taren Sullivan to face Hoersten. Sullivans fastball reached speeds of 86 mph on the radar gun as he found the outside corner of the strike zone to record the final out. Sullivan is a dynamic player for us, said Jesko about his senior flame-thrower. After basketball season, he was coming in as a relief pitcher but as his arm gets stronger, he has won some big games for us as a starter. Our team played good defense tonight after a tough loss at Wapak last night. We are swinging the bats and our hitters are getting in a groove. Bath was led by Jordans six RBIs to improve to 10-4 on the season. Next game

Lady Dawgs bash Bulldogs ELIDA Elidas softball crew put up three runs in the bottom of the first and went on to a 15-6 non-league victory Wednesday at Dorothy Edwards Field. The Lady Dawgs (8-3) out-hit their foe (5-4) 13-9 and benefitted from four Grove errors, committing three themselves. Five Elida players had two hits each: Sabrina Kline (2 doubles, 2 runs batted in), Jenna Halpern (2 RBIs), Caitlyn Shroyer, Skyler Hurst (2 RBIs) and Katelyn Sumption (RBI). Taylor Thompson also knocked in two. Hope Schroeder (2 doubles) and Katie Roose had two hits each for the visitors. Micah Stechschulte, Brooke Hoffman and Kara Birkemeier each had an RBI and Kyrah Yinger had a triple. Shroyer (3 strikeouts, 1 walk) was the winning pitcher and Grace Schroeder (4 Ks, 5 BBs) took the loss. Grove visits Ada tonight, while Elida visits Van Wert Friday. Score by Innings: Col.

The Bulldogs (7-7) opened the game with a run against Jefferson starter Jordan Herron (3 innings pitched, 3 hits, 5 runs, 3 earned, 4 bases-on-balls, 1 strikeout; 57 pitches, 27 for strikes). With one down, Josh Bull walked. Adam Purdy doubled to the deep right-fieldcorner (with the wind blowing in and a wild pitch plated Bull for a 1-0 edge. Jefferson sent 16 to the dish in the home half. Jace Stockwell led off with a free pass from Garrett Brinkman (0-3; 0 IPs, 2 hits, 7 runs, 5 earned, 4 BBs; 33 pitches, 11 for strikes) and Hunter Binkleys sinking single to center put runners on the corners. Three straight free passes: Ross Thompson, Austin Jettinghoff and Gage Mercer; plated Stockwell and Binkley for a 2-1 lead and kept the bases loaded. Tyler Rices fly ball was dropped and another error on the play unloaded the bases and put the batter on third, from where he scored on a liner to left by Herron, bringing Travis Watkins (1/3 IP, 4 unearned runs, 4 BBs; 28 pitches, 11 for strikes) to the mound. Back-to-back walks Nick Fitch and Josh Teman reloaded the bases. An out later, Binkleys RBI grounder (Herron) was booted, keeping the bases juiced. Walks to Thompson (Fitch) and Jettinghoff (Teman) brought the third Elida hurler, southpaw Austin Morrison (5 2/3 IPs, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 1 BB, 1 K; 61 pitches, 41 strikes), to the hill. An out later, a dropped fly ball got Binkley and Thompson home for that 11-1 edge before Morrison got the final out, starting a string of seven straight. Elida got two back in the second. Logan Alexander hit a sharp single to left and advanced on a wild pitch. Alan Tyrrell walked. Riley Overholt forced Alexander at third but a poor throw allowed Tyrrell to scoot to third and put the batter on second. Brinkmans grounder scored Tyrrell; an error on the play allowed Overholt to touch the dish for an 11-3 scoreboard. However, Morrison bounced into an inning-ending double play.
In the Bulldog third, Watkins singled to left to start it, followed by free passes to Alexander and Tyrrell to load the bases and bring Stockwell (1-0; 3 IPs, 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 1 BB, 1 K; 54 pitches, 32 for strikes) on in relief. Overholt forced Tyrrell at second but plated Watkins. Brinkman grounded a hit into left to get Alexander home for an 11-5 deficit. Morrisons grounder was booted to loaded the bases. Bulls bouncer plated Overholt; an error allowed Brinkman to scoot home for an 11-7 deficit. However, Purdys comebacker started a 1-6-3 twin-killing to keep the damage from getting worse. Mercer led off the Jefferson fourth by getting aboard via an error and reached third on a Rice sac bunt and Herron groundout. He did not score. Delphos threatened in the fifth. Teman lined a knock into center and Stockwell walked. Two outs later, a wild pitch moved both up but both were left stranded. Elida loaded the bases in the sixth on a 1-out throwing error (Overholt), a Brinkman single, a Morrison fielders choice that forced Brinkman at second and a free pass (Bull). However, Purdy flied out to center to leave them juiced. The Wildcats finished the scoring in the home sixth. With one gone, Rice got aboard via an error and reached third on a throwing error on Herrons grounder. Pinch-hitter Kurt Wollenhaupts fly ball to center was deep enough to get Rice home for the 12th Jefferson run. Max Stambaugh led off the Elida seventh against Teman (1 IP, 1 hit; 10 pitches, 6 for strikes) with a sharp knock to left but went nowhere as Teman got the next three out to end the contest. The one disappointment I really had was we had a chance to bury them and didnt. We didnt really add on until the sixth and had chances, Geary added. We had good approaches at the plate but we still got ourselves out too many times by hitting off our front foot. We had decent pitching but

we didnt play good defense behind them. Fortunately, we had this happen in a nonleague game. Jefferson visits Allen East tonight (5 p.m.). To our kids credit, we didnt roll over and die after the first, Grapner added. Thats one thing I told them after the game; we chipped away. We just dug ourselves such a deep hole against a quality Delphos team that we couldnt get out. You simply cant do that and expect to win against opponents like this. Elida hosts Van Wert 5 p.m. Friday.
His view: he is a project that an NFL team will have to work with and work with did I write work with? before he can be the great pro many think he will be. There is no doubt he is exciting but does that make him a great professional quarterback? We football fans know of many a solid college guy with all the tools to be a great pro that flunked out because of one thing or another. He is fast but so is everyone else in the NFL, including defensive ends and even some defensive tackles. We see what happened to RG III last year he was never the same with rehabbing his knee injury and he will have to make some adjustments in his third season. Even Colin Kaepernick had to grow as a passer and not rely as much on his legs. We will see what happens the first time Johnny gets steamrolled by a 275-pound defensive end hell-bent on destruction. Everyone thinks that he will go to the Cleveland Browns. As an objective human being, I suggest they go after Sammy Watkins for their first pick; give their QB perhaps Hoyer, who was on his way to a solid season last fall before his injury? a target outside. Build your team around and then go for the franchise QB. Let that draft wizard, Jerry Jones, have him!

Obama offering Syrian activists accuse Japan security, economic assurances Assad of new gas attacks
JULIE PACE Associated Press DIAA HADID and ZEINA KARAM Associated Press TOKYO Facing fresh questions about his commitment to Asia, President Barack Obama will seek to convince Japans leaders today that he can deliver on his security and economic pledges, even as the crisis in Ukraine demands U.S. attention and resources elsewhere. The ominous standoff between Ukraine and Russia is threatening to overshadow Obamas four-country Asia swing that began Wednesday. He may decide during the trip whether to levy new economic sanctions on Moscow, a step that would signal the failure of an international agreement aimed at defusing the crisis. But at least publicly, Obama will try to keep the focus on his Asia agenda, which includes reaffirming his commitment to a defense treaty with Japan, making progress on a stalled trans-Pacific trade agreement and finalizing a deal to modestly increase the American military footprint in the Philippines. He began his day with a call on Emperor Akihito at the Imperial Palace, a lush park-like complex surrounded by modern skyscrapers where he was greeted by a military honor guard and children holding U.S. and Japanese flags. After taking in the scene, the president, emperor and empress walked along a maze of red carpet into the palace for a private meeting, with U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and other aides trailing behind. The president told the emperor that the last time they met, he did not have any gray hairs. You have a very hard job, the emperor replied. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he and Obama had a long talk at a private dinner Wednesday evening and looked forward to a fruitful meeting today so that we can jointly send a message to the rest of the world that the Japan-U.S. alliance is unshakeable and strong. BEIRUT Syrian government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent weeks and months, leaving men, women and children coughing, choking and gasping for breath, according to Associated Press interviews with more than a dozen activists, medics and residents on the opposition side. Syria flatly denied the allegations, and they have yet to be confirmed by any foreign country or international organization. But if true, they highlight the limitations of the global effort to rid President Bashar Assads government of its chemical weapons. Witnesses near Damascus and in a central rebel-held village told the AP of dozens of cases of choking, fainting and other afflictions from inhaling fumes that some said were yellowish and smelled like chlorine cleanser. Some of those interviewed said they believe the gas was responsible for at least two deaths. They said the fumes came from hand grenades and helicopter-dropped barrel bombs, which are crude containers packed with explosives and shrapnel. Activists have posted videos similar, though on a far smaller scale, to those from last Augusts chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people and nearly triggered U.S. airstrikes against Syria. The new footage depicts pale-faced men, women and children coughing and gasping at field hospitals. The U.N. Security Council called for an investigation Wednesday. Council members expressed grave concern over the allegations, said Nigerias U.N. Ambassador U. Joy Ogwu, council president. Its an accusation that carries high stakes, and the Syrian opposition has an interest in pushing such claims in hopes of spurring the world to take stern action against Assad, who has been locked in a civil war for three years and faces a Sunday deadline for handing over all his chemical weapons for destruction. Chlorine is a potentially lethal chemical with a multitude of ordinary civilian uses, including laundry bleach and swimming-pool disinfectant. In high concentrations, it can attack the lungs and asphyxiate victims. While chlorine was first deployed on the battlefield in World War I, it is no longer officially considered a warfare
Rail
The government, however, says its the oil industry thats not sharing its data. Transportation Department officials complained recently that the agency had received only limited data from a few oil companies on the safety characteristics of Bakken oil, despite requests made in January by Secretary Anthony Foxx. Hundreds of oil producers, shippers, and brokers operate in the region. So far, only seven oil companies have responded, and several of those provided only sparse information, Foxx said in an interview. The government wants to know what is in the oil so regulators can decide what types of protections are needed for shipping, he said. One of the most fundamental questions that cuts across everything in crude oil by rail is how it is classified, Foxx said. If it is not classified correctly at the beginning, then it is not packaged correctly and the emergency response needs arent understood by the communities through which this material is moving. The oil industry is using every tank car available to keep up with the exponential growth in Bakken oil production since hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, made it possible to extract more oil from the ground. Freight railroads transported 434,032 carloads of crude in 2013,

up from just 9,500 in 2008. Three years ago, the U.S. became a net exporter of petroleum products for the first time since 1949. Ethanol production has also escalated dramatically, creating competition for available rail cars. About 69,000 carloads of ethanol were shipped on rails in 2005. Last year, it was about 325,000 carloads. In July, a runaway oil train derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, near the Maine border. Forty-seven people died and 30 buildings were incinerated. Rail and safety officials said they were surprised by the ferocity of the fire. They were used to dealing with sludge-like crude that doesnt ignite easily, but Canadian investigators said the combustibility of the 1.3 million gallons of light, sweet Bakken crude released in Lac-Megantic was more comparable to gasoline. There have been eight significant accidents in the U.S. and Canada in the past year involving trains hauling crude oil, including several that resulted in spectacular fires, according to a presentation by crash investigators at a twoday National Transportation Safety Board forum this week on the transport of crude oil and ethanol. Most of the accidents occurred in lightly populated areas, although one derailment and fire in December occurred less than two miles from the town of Casselton, N.D.
Ship
agent and is not among the chemicals declared by Syria. It is not as effective at killing as sarin the nerve agent that was apparently used last summer and experts say it is difficult to achieve high concentrations of chlorine by dropping it from the air. Still, any toxic chemical is considered to be a chemical weapon if used for military purposes. Consequently, Syrias use of chlorine-filled bombs, if confirmed, would be a violation of the chemical weapons treaty that Assads government signed last year as part of a deal to hand over its stockpile. On Wednesday, Syrias U.N. Ambassador Bashar Jaafari said his government categorically denied the use of chlorine gas. Jaafari further disputed that chlorine gas could be categorized as a chemical weapon, saying it is a mundane substance used for bleaching clothes in the laundry or disinfecting swimming pools. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that officials were still trying to determine what happened. On Sunday, French President Francois Hollande told Europe 1 radio station there were elements suggesting recent use of chemical weapons, but no proof.

That view is not shared among all relatives of the missing, however. One of them, Jang Jong-ryul, was sensitive about the mere mention of the word "salvage" and said most families don't want to think about it. The number of corpses recovered has risen sharply since the weekend, when divers battling strong currents and low visibility were finally able to enter the submerged vessel. But the task is becom-
ing more difficult. "The lounge is one big open space, so once in it we got our search done straight away. But in the case of the cabins, we will have to break down the walls in between because they are all compartments," said Koh Myung-seok, spokesman for the government-wide emergency task force. The government has not said when it intends to begin the salvage effort, though it has said it will be considerate of the families of the missing. For some relatives of the
missing, speed in recovering the dead is becoming more important. "I've seen the bodies and they are starting to smell. It inflicts a new wound for the parents to see the bodies decomposed," Pyun said. He and other relatives have set a deadline of Thursday for the government to recover all the bodies, though he concedes they have no way to enforce it. "We are not the ones who are actually doing it, so we know that there is nothing we can do," Pyun said.
Plants
The biggest complaint we had when the last levy failed and started talking about cuts at the pool and in the parks is that voters didnt know that was at stake and they would have voted for it if they knew, Gallmeier said. This time, we dedicated it to Parks and Rec and everyone knows where that money will go. Changing from a full-time to a volunteer fire department and how it would effect first responders was also discussed. If we have a volunteer fire department, we would no longer have a first response because there would be no one at the station to provide that, Streets said. The patient would have to wait for the EMS personnel to respond from another location and go to the squad building and wait for a minimum of two members to respond before they can leave the station. The cost savings would be the salaries of three firefighters but the city would lose $75,000 in contract money from Marion and Washington townships. We would also lose revenue from the runs themselves because we would have to contract for mutual aid. This is not just a monetary issue. You would lose the quick response to a critical care patient and possible death or severe injuries or life-threatening issues. To continue with first response, we would need medics on station to be able to respond immediately and there would be no savings because you would be paying the medics. I propose we have cross-trained firefighter/paramedics who will be able to respond to both EMS and fire/rescue
calls. Fittro gave clarification on the role and usage of auxiliary officers. We have five auxiliary officers with four having full-time jobs elsewhere and one available to us part-time as he has a part-time job somewhere else, Fittro said. The four are available on a limited basis for special functions like Fourth of July and Canal Days and the fifth guy works as much as he can. Auxiliary officers are paid $10 per hour and receive a $300 yearly stipend for uniform costs. They do not receive benefits from the city. Auxiliary officers are meant to supplement, augment and complement the full-time roster, not replace it. To do creates labor law issues and more importantly, it is not a viable, long-term solution, Fittro went on to explain. Although we have done so in the past in an effort to save money, living and dying by the auxiliary is a dangerous practice both legally and operationally. At the end of the meeting, Fittro and Streets told attendees their doors are always open and anyone who would like questions answered pertaining to their departments can do so. The city has faced numerous financial setbacks in the last four years of $1.5 million, including the loss of a large utilities user, cuts to federal and state funding and uncollected utilities from a bankrupt user. Coupled with future debt repayment of more than $38 million for the wastewater treatment plant, reservoir and water treatment plant, the city is facing a budget shortfall of $486,000 in the sewer fund in 2015.
Legislators
Luckily for the wolves, the Obama administrations delisting proposal suffered a setback this past February when an independent review panel concluded that the decision was based on insufficient science and should therefore not be enacted. The science used by the Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concerning genetics and taxonomy of wolves was preliminary and currently not the best available science, reported panel member
Steven Courtney, a scientist at UC Santa Barbara. The review panel finding has opened a new public comment period on a proposal that has already generated more than a million comments. A final decision on the delisting proposal is expected by June.

With one in seven jobs related to food and agriculture in Ohio, its crucial that Ohio farmers have the resources they need while saving taxpayers money, said Sen. Sherrod Brown. This farm bill achieved that balance and the members of the Ohio Soybean Association helped to push this bill across the finish line. Representing Ohio farmers is an honor and I thank the Ohio Soybean Association for its recognition as legislator of the year. Brown and Gibbs have both been very accessible to soybean farmers and held multiple conference calls with leaders across the state. They supported expanded funding of the Biobased Marketing Program and the continuation of the Renewable
Fuel Standard, which includes a required level of use of biodiesel, the only advanced biofuels currently available on the market. Gibbs was officially presented this award in March during OSAs visit to his office on Capitol Hill. I am honored to receive Legislator of the Year from the Ohio Soybean Association, said Rep. Bob Gibbs. OSA was critical throughout the development of a market-driven farm bill that would ensure American consumers would continue to have an abundant, safe and affordable food supply. Ohios farmers are a key driver of our economy and job creation and I am grateful for all they do every day to produce wholesome food for all Americans. In addition to the farm bill, Brown and Gibbs cur-
rently support the passage of the Water Resources Development Act, which will help ensure farmers ability to get their product to both domestic and international markets. Without the final passage of this legislation, U.S. infrastructure will continue to decay. Bambauer said, We look forward to working with Sen. Brown and Rep. Gibbs on this and other legislative priorities over the next year and ensuring Ohio soybean farmers are heard. About OSA The Ohio Soybean Association is governed by a volunteer farmer board dedicated to education and promotion, as well as to uniting producer interest through support of legislative activities beneficial to the Ohio soybean industry. www.soyohio.org/membership
Keep time expended on tillage passes and other preparatory operations to a minimum. Tillage will provide minimal benefits if it results in further planting delays. No-till offers the best option for planting on time this year. Field seedbed preparation should be limited to leveling ruts that may have been left by the previous years harvest field cultivate very lightly to level. Most new planters provide relatively good seed placement in trashy or crusted seedbeds. Dont worry about switching hybrid maturities unless planting is delayed to late May. If planting is possible before May 20, plant full season hybrids first to allow them to exploit the growing season more fully. Research in Ohio generally indicates that late
plantings of earlier maturity hybrids are less susceptible to yield losses than late plantings of the later maturing, full season hybrids. In delayed planting situations, use the optimal seeding rates for the yield potential of each field. Recommended seeding rates for early planting dates are often 10 percent higher than the desired harvest population because of the potential for greater seedling mortality. However, soil temperatures are usually warmer in late planted fields, and as a result germination and emergence should be more rapid and uniform. As planting is delayed, seeding rates may be lowered (decreased to 3 to 5 percent higher than the desired harvest population) because it is anticipated that a higher percentage of corn seedlings will emerge. (Thomison and Culman, CORN 2014-10).
Currently, ABM is exporting their products to 15 countries and have plans to double that by 2015. With ABMs products expected to increase yield production of rice, corn and wheat by 30 40 percent, developing countries are extremely interested in their product as are the U.S. farmers.
