OTTOVILLE Superintendent
Scott Mangas discussed Ottoville
Local Schools newest addition
for the 2015-16 school year - a
cross-categorical unit to serve students in grades K-12 with multiple
disabilities and emotional disabilities.
I have about 20 applications
for the teacher position for the unit
and once I have that slot filled, that
person will sit in on the interviews
for an aide that will also assist in
the unit, Mangas informed school
board members Wednesday evening.
At this time, Ottoville has three
students in grades K-2 who will
receive their instruction in the unit.
Applicant interviews to fill the
third- and fourth-grade teacher posi-
tions that will be open next school

year will be held in April.
We have a significant amount of
applications for those positions as
well, so well have a good group to
choose from, Mangas added.
Ashley Koenig of Spencerville
will fill the districts vacant instrumental music instructor position.
Koenig is currently employed parttime at Spencerville Local Schools.
She will also receive 20 extended
service days for additional band/
music responsibilities, such as the
bands appearance at the Putnam
County Fair. Current instructor
Warren Bowery will finish his teaching career in May.
The school heard from representatives from Putnam County Parents
and Teachers Against Common
Core. Glen Karhoff and Virginia
Mack addressed the board with the
groups concerns about Common
Core and the effects they believe

it is having on the public school
system.
Common Core is taking away
local control and local decision-making, Karhoff said. We
have provided sample resolutions
from other boards taking a stand
against Common Core and we would
like you to review them and pass one
of your own.
Mack voiced her concerns over
what is being done with the information from the tests.
I believe they are creating data
bases with information based on students answers to the questions and I
cant find out what the information
is and who is getting it, Mack said.
The group will hold a Town Hall
in April.
The board thanked the pair for
coming.
You have presented us with a
lot of information and we, as board

members, get numerous emails a day
concerning Common Core, Board
President Kevin Landin said. We
will look over what youve provided
us.
Students will have their first
make-up day on May 27. Mangas
announced the added day to the
school calendar and asked everyone
keep their fingers crossed for no
more lost days of instruction.
Wed like to finish up before
Memorial Day and so far, we are still
on track for that to happen, Mangas
added.
In other business, the board:

Jennings blood drive draws many

Fourteen members of Fort Jennings National Honor Society (NHS) organized a blood drive at the school Wednesday afternoon. Local businesses helped by supplying donations of food and food coupons for donors. Red Cross representative Chris Berning said they were only expecting

launching presidential
exploratory committee
WASHINGTON (AP)
Donald Trump announced
plans Wednesday to form a
presidential exploratory committee.
I am the only one who
can make America truly great
again, the Republican businessman and reality television
star declared in a statement
announcing the move.
While a step short of a formal campaign launch, the formation of an exploratory allows
him to begin raising money
and hire staff as he weighs a
trump
White House bid. Trump said hes
already hired political aides in Iowa, New Hampshire and South
Carolina, which host the first three contests on the presidential
nominating calendar.
I have a great love for our country, but it is a country that is
in serious trouble, Trump said in a wide-ranging statement that
called for rebuilding the nations infrastructure, improving border
security, strengthening the military and improving the economy.
Americans deserve better than what they get from their politicians who are all talk and no action.
The outspoken Republican has long hinted at presidential aspirations, but he appears more serious this time. He recently said he
would not renew his contract with NBC for his reality show, The
Apprentice.

Trucks, buses
could travel
at 75 mph
under Ohio
Senate plan
COLUMBUS (AP) A
proposal to boost the speed
limit to 75 mph on the Ohio
Turnpike and rural highways cruised passed the state
Senate Wednesday after a
panel expanded it to cover all
motor vehicles, regardless of
their size.
The proposed speed-limit
increase comes less than two
years after Ohio allowed drivers to go 70 mph.
A change made Wednesday
in the $7 billion, two-year
transportation budget would
let all drivers including
those in trucks, buses and
other larger vehicles travel
at 75 mph on certain roadways and the turnpike. The
turnpikes commission could
set a lower speed limit if it
decides its safer in some
areas.
The Senates transportation committee included
the heavier vehicles in the
speed-limit increase after a
trucking association said it
would be safer if all motorists were traveling at the
same speed, said Sen. Gayle
Manning, the panels chairwoman.
We dont see it being a
problem, she told reporters.
Senators approved the
budget bill on a unanimous
vote.

melodies for days.
Washed up on the shores of West
Africa the infant boy is named Tarzan
by apes who have protected and raised
him. Apart from striving for acceptance
from his ape father, Kerchak, Tarzans
life is mostly monkey business until
a research expedition treks into his
tribes territory and he encounters creatures like himself for the first time.
Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle,
thick with emotions as he discovers
his animal upbringing clashing with
his human instincts. The show contains
many funny scenes and situations all
humans can relate to. Travel along on
one mans journeys as he experiences
times of fun, adventure, love and heartache.

Ohio Liberty Bell (Submitted photo)
Ohios Liberty Bell

returns to Statehouse
COLUMBUS The Capitol Square Review and Advisory
Board (CSRAB) is proud to announce the return of Ohios
replica Liberty Bell to the Ohio Statehouse. The Ohio bell
is one of 55, full-size Liberty Bell replicas produced in 1950
and given to the states and territories of the United States as
gifts. The bells where commissioned by the U.S. Treasury
Department and cast in the Paccard Foundry of Svrier, France.
The bells were used as promotional pieces for a savings bond
drive held from May 15 to July 4, 1950, with the slogan Save
for Your Independence.
For over 40 years the replica liberty bell resided inside
the Ohio Statehouse. The majority of that time the bell could
be found in the south hallway on the first floor of the capitol. During the massive seven-year restoration of the Ohio
Statehouse and Capitol Square the bell was moved to the Ohio
History Center, headquarters of the Ohio History Connection.
CSRAB is happy to bring a piece of Statehouse history
back to Capitol Square. The bell reminds Statehouse visitors
of the Founding Fathers legacy of liberty, freedom and democratic ideals that all Americans have inherited, said William
Carleton, CSRAB executive director.
The replica liberty bell is on display in the Museum Gallery
of the Ohio Statehouse and is one of two bells that are housed
on the ground floor. Directly north of the liberty bell replica
stands the 89th Ohio Bicentennial Bell made for the people
of the State of Ohio. Commissioned in 2003 by the Ohio
Bicentennial Commission, all 88 Ohio counties and the Ohio
Statehouse received a bell cast by the Verdin Company of
Cincinnati.

AGRIBUSINESS
USDA releases official 2014

Ohio county yield averages
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Extension Ag Educator
news@delphosherald.com
The United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) released its official Ohio
county yield averages for the previous years
corn, soybean and wheat production. Even
though this is an estimated number, it will
be the official number used to compare other
years and to determine government and insurance payments.
Putnam County had good crops in 2014,
but crops were better than good a new corn
record was set for the county average yield.
For 2014, corn averaged 196.2 bushels per
acre (second in the state to Hamilton County
at 197.4) and soybeans averaged 52.5 bushels.
Corn yields broke the 2013 record year by
12.1 (188.8) bushels. It was also a record corn
year for total production in the county: 15.4
million bushels, 300,000 more bushels than
the 2013 record, even though 1,000 fewer
acres were planted and 1,500 few acres were
harvested in 2014. Putnam County corn yields
were about 20.2 bushels more per acre than
the state average (176 bushel).
Putnam has been in the top 10 corn producing counties in the state but was 11th in 2014.
Other counties put out more corn acres
while Putnam County kept its wheat acres.
Other top counties in our region this past
year included Wood (third), Hancock (fourth)
Hardin (seventh), and Seneca (eighth).
Soybeans averaged 52.9 bushel per acre
in Putnam County (a new record) compared
to a state average of 52.5 bushels per acre.
Soybeans were 2.7 bushels more per acre
than the record set in 2011 (50.2 bushels) and
4.3 bushels (48.7 bushels) more than in 2013.
Total soybean production was a record 7,079
million bushels which was fifth in the state.
Putnam County soybean yield average was
only 0.4 bushels more per acre than the state
average (52.5 bushel per acre).
A big reason the average yield may be
lower in Putnam County is because the farmers often double crop soybeans after wheat,
which tend to yield fewer bushels per acre
and Putnam has the highest wheat acreage
in the state. Putnam is in the top 10 soybean
producing counties moving to fifth place in
2014 compared to sixth in 2013. Other top
counties in our region this past year included
Wood (second), Hancock (fourth) and Seneca
(eighth).
Putnam County was blessed with slightly

more rain and timely rains than surrounding
counties. Record corn yields can be attributed
to good planting conditions, proper weather
for pollination, low disease pressure and moderate summer temperatures.
Good weather for early planting resulted
in uniform stands and encouraged deep root
development, which allowed the corn to get to
moisture when conditions became dry later in
the season. Conditions were more challenging
for soybeans early in the season. However,
timely rains during the critical pod fill stages
and low disease pressure led to a bumper crop.
Wheat had a much better year in 2014 than
2013. Conditions were excellent for harvest
and yields were larger as a result of low disease pressure and moderate June temperatures
compared to the rain-delayed harvest of 2013.
Average wheat yields for Putnam County
The newly-elected officers for the Delphos Livestock 4-H program are, left to right,
were 75.5 bushels per acre, 27.3 bushels more
Emily Buettner, secretary; Hannah Elwer, treasurer; Zach Gable, president; and
than 2013 (48.2 bushel per acre) and 1.1 bushTroy Elwer, vice president. The 4-H group is 18 members strong this year. (Submitels more than the state average (74.0 bushel
ted photo)
per acre). Putnam County produced 480,000
more bushels in 2014 than 2013. Putnam
County was the number one wheat producing
county in the state for a second year, producing 2.772 million bushels. Adjacent counties
were also in the top 10 for wheat production:
Wood (fourth), Seneca (fifth) and Hancock
(sixth). About 39,100 wheat acres were planted for the 2014 crop, 4,500 acres more than
2013. Prior to the 2012 crop, Putnam County
historically planted about 50,000 acres of
wheat.
Wheat acreage decline for the past several years has been a result of better prices
for corn and soybean grain, high land rents,
delayed soybean harvest and wet planting
conditions. In 2014, most of the grain crop
acres in Putnam County were planted to soybeans (52.3%, 134,000 acres), followed by
corn (32.4%, 83,000 acres) and then wheat
(15.3%, 39,100 acres). Grain prices have
continued to drop in the area. While farmers
like to have record yields and bumper crops,
they often make more money when prices are
higher rather than higher yields. Input costs
and expected grain prices will determine
how much corn or soybean will be planted in
2015 (wheat is already planted). Weather will
still determine the outcome at the end of the Members of the Delphos FFA General Livestock Judging Team consist of, front row from

Mark Zuckerberg has both greatly enriched

- and ruined - my life. Facebook is one of my
addictions. Its no secret to anyone. Its awesome to stay in touch with high school and
college friends who I never would otherwise.
I enjoy seeing what people are up to, what
they ended up doing with their lives, what
their children look like. I also love to write,
and I love to make people laugh. So its perfect for me.
Sometimes.
I love Facebook. And I hate Facebook.
As much as it has the power to elevate my
mood, it has the
same power to
crush it. It makes
me feel good to
entertain people.
Im sarcastic in
my
everyday
life, and I just
update Facebook
the way I talk. Id prefer to be with friends
in person, having a conversation, but since
thats not feasible with our busy lives, jobs,
and kids, a social network will have to do.
So Ive become addicted. Its hard for me to
ignore a notification. I want to respond to it.
Right away. And then they keep coming, and
coming
Im a people pleaser. I wish I werent. Ive
been trying to change this my whole life. I
want everyone to like me. Logically, I know
thats not possible. Not everyone likes Oprah,
and I cant even fathom that. So I should
know not everyone is going to like me. I
mean, Im not giving away cars or Uggs for
no reason at all. (I have learned that I cant be
friends with co-workers, because I cant trust
them. I wish I could. And its not all of them,
but enough. Enough back-stabbing has made
me learn I shouldnt let them too far into my
personal life.)
I feel good about every like or positive
comment I get on a status update. It gives me
a rush, which fuels the addiction. At the same
time, when something bad happens, like I

notice a friend has deleted me, I feel like a
knife has been shoved through my heart. Not
so much when its someone I didnt know too
well, but definitely when its a person who Id
considered a real friend.
Ive been told Facebook isnt real life,
but I dont know what that means. My updates
are things that Id actually say, which is part
of my personality and who I am, so to me, a
person deleting me is his or her way of saying
he or she doesnt like me. I know Im overly
sensitive. I am. I take everything personally.
I know part
of this mindset
comes from being
bipolar, which has
been described
as having no
skin. So everything hurts me.
When Im manic,
I update Facebook. A lot. Its like I cant
stop. I used to drink. I used to smoke. Now
I write little snippets detailing stuff my kids
say or observations about random happenings
throughout the day. Im sure I annoy people.
I know I must take up some peoples entire
newsfeed. Still
I cant stop.
Ive taken breaks. Its hard. Every time I
get a thought in my head that I think is funny
or clever, its like Im bursting at the seams to
let it out. Im not sure why. But on the upside,
at least this addiction isnt destroying my
lungs or liver.
What Id really like to do is get a hold on
my addictive personality. Its always been
there. If I could manage it better, maybe I
could relax and not feel as strong of an urge
to update this social network as often as I do.
Maybe I could begin to learn that not everyone
likes me, and thats okay. Maybe. Or maybe I
should start Facebookers Anonymous. Yeah.
Im gonna go make an update about that.

What to think of the news

in the last couple of weeks
about National Football
League players retiring early?
The latest is former San
Francisco 49er linebacker
Chris Borland, who played
only one season before decding t hang up the cleats for
good.
Previously, it was guys
like Patrick Willis, Jake
Locker and Jason Worilds.
There have been a few
greats that did retire early
before Jim Brown (way
back when), Barry Sanders,
Robert Smith come to mind
but the four that have retired lately is a trend.
Or is it?
Borland mentioned his desire to do what was best for
his health, as did Smith a decade or so ago after stepping
out at 27.
Brown always was a bit

of a maverick and he added to his fame as an actor, a
mentor to guys like LeBron
James and more.
Locker told reporters he
basically didnt have the
same passion for the game as
he once did.
Worilds wanted to pursue
other interests, even as he
was about to cash in on a
pretty good career so far.
I cant blame anyone for
deciding to get out while
the getting is good after all, if you are playing a
tough, physical game without passion, is it going to be
worth it in the end, no matter
how much you might make,
because more than likely
you will get hurt because
you wont work at it like you
need?
Or someone that might decide to get out while they can
still enjoy pursuing things
they have always wanted to,
figuring they have the money
and time to now do so.

Robert Morris gets balanced

scoring to top N. Florida 81-77
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
DAYTON Lucky Jones scored 21
points, including a key free throw, Rodney Pryor had 20 and Marcquise Reed
19 to lead Robert Morris back from
a 14-point second-half deficit to beat
North Florida 81-77 on Wednesday night
in the First Four.
The Colonials (20-14), who won the
Northeast Conference Tournament to
get into the field as a 16 seed, now meet
top-seeded Duke in the second round on
Friday in Charlotte.
As the final seconds ticked off, jubilant fans chanted, We want Duke! We
want Duke!
Elijah Minnie added 12 points and
10 rebounds for the Colonials, who
scored 21 points off North Floridas 19
turnovers.
Beau Beech finished with 28 points
for the Ospreys (23-12), champs of the
Atlantic Sun Tournament, but didnt
have a field goal over the last 11:18. Ja-
len Nesbitt added 14 points and Dallas

Moore 13 for North Florida, making its
first trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Beech, who had 13 at the break, hit
two 3s to start the second half, increasing an 8-point advantage at the break to
41-27.
But the Colonials, who failed to
score for 4:31 of the first half, turned the
tables on the Ospreys. In an 11-0 run,
they kept North Florida off the board for
4:44.
From then on, the game was an endto-end battle.
Robert Morris took its first lead of
the half on Jones jumper from the top of
the key with 7:29 left.
With the teams tied later, Reed a
freshman drove the lane and spun in
a left-handed layup and was fouled with
3:49 left. He missed the free throw but
Jones was there to tip in the miss for a
70-66 lead.
Pryor then added a 15-foot jumper
and Kavon Stewart hit a free throw to
push the lead to 73-66 with 2 minutes

left.
The Ospreys drew within 78-76 with
10 seconds left on two free throws by
Trent Mackey but Stewart stepped to the
line and made both to seal the win.
After Beechs foul shot, Jones
the Colonials third-leading scorer who
comes off the bench hit a free throw
with less than a second left to end the
Ospreys hopes.
TIP-INS: Robert Morris: The Colonials
were making their eighth trip to the NCAA

but first since 2010. Their last trip was brief,
but memorable.
The 15th-seeded Colonials nearly
knocked off No. 2-seeded Villanova in the
opening round in Providence. They led 55-47
with 4:19 left, but mistakes down the stretch
resulted in a 73-70 overtime loss.
North Florida: Road game? No big deal.
For financial reasons (hefty guarantees to
play at bigger schools) the Ospreys played 13
of their first 16 games on the road. They traveled to nine states and Mexico this season.
UP NEXT: Robert Morris: Top-seeded
Duke (29-4) on Friday at 7:10 p.m. in Charlotte.

Significant replay rules

All-Star wrestlers hit mat for final time in 2014-15
changes proposed in NFL
By BARRY WILNER
Associated Press
NEW YORK Significant
changes to the use of video
replay, including reviewing
all fouls called by game officials, will be presented by the
NFLs competition committee
at next weeks owners meetings.
The committee is
submitting a proposal
by the Detroit Lions
that would allow the
instant replay system
to correct an officiating error. That would
include such judgment calls as pass interference. Currently,
no penalties are reviewable.
St. Louis Rams coach Jeff
Fisher, a member of the committee, made it clear that his
peers wouldnt favor such a
change.
It would be our responsibility on the field whether
these are fouls or not fouls,
Fisher said of his fellow
coaches. This (replay review) was never designed to
involve fouls.
New England proposed that
everything except scoring
plays or turnovers be challengeable. Washington suggested increasing a coachs
number of challenges from
two to three, regardless of
whether he is successful on an
early challenge.
Also to be discussed in
Phoenix will be a proposal
by the Patriots to place fixed
cameras on all boundary lines.
That would guarantee coverage of the goal lines, end
lines and sidelines regardless
of where network cameras are
positioned.
Versailles
(Continued from page 6)

ineligible student participated, including in the tournament, and will be replaced on
the bracket by the last team
it defeated, per OHSAA Bylaw 10-2-3. After the student
transferred to Purcell Marian
during the season, the school
held the student out for half
the regular-season games and
assumed that the student was
then eligible to play.
The OHSAA was made
aware of the violation on
Tuesday. Dr. Jim Rigg, superintendent of Cincinnati
Catholic Schools, agreed that
the regulation and penalty are
clear within the OHSAA bylaws and that Purcell Marian
accepts the sanction.
We deeply regret that this
happened, Dr. Rigg said.
Purcell Marian is an upstanding member of the OHSAA
and the basketball team was
having a great season. We
Musings
Other proposals include

moving the extra point attempt to the 15-yard line;
guaranteeing both teams a
possession in overtime even if
one scores a touchdown on its
first drive; and a scenario that
gives teams that successfully
convert a 2-point conversion
the chance to immediately
add another point
from midfield with a
bonus field goal.
Almost certain to be
discussed is an expansion of the playoffs
from 12 to 14 teams,
which also would cut
out one wild-card
round bye per conference. The committee
looked into the advantages
and disadvantages last year
and, according to Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay,
from a competitive standpoint we dont think there is
a competitive negative to (expanding) the playoffs.
No proposals on the handling of footballs before
games were made while the
league awaits the Wells report
on the Patriots use of deflated
footballs in the AFC championship game.
New Englands use of eligible players in ineligible positions during a playoff win
over Baltimore prompted a
proposal that such players
must line up inside the tackle box, eliminating confusion
for defenses.
Also, because teams are
running out of permitted
numbers for linebackers, the
committee proposed allowing
numbers 40-49 to be used for
the position, along with 50-59
and 90-99.
are working with the school
administration to ensure that
there is a clear understanding of OHSAA regulations,
with the intent that this does
not happen again. Our athletic
programs promote individual
development, self-discipline
and Catholic values, and it
is important that we follow
the OHSAA regulations in
achieving this goal.
This is a tough day for
Purcell Marian but our member schools expect us to uphold the bylaws that they
have voted into place, Dr.
Ross said. This bylaw was
voted into place so that kids
couldnt start the season at
one school and then transfer
to another nearby school and
play in the same season. If a
family moves more than 50
miles away, they are obviously moving their residence for
reasons such as a job transfer.
(Continued from page 6) have been tomorrows

Or they just want to be able
to walk when they are 40.
Really, all worthy reasons

and I wish them well.
Some are worried that this
is only the tip of the iceberg,
that the NFL had better start
worrying about its talent
pool and, by extension, its
brand today!
After all, with all the
problems now being associated with the game concussions, abuse pain killers
and steroids, crippling injuries, paralysis, etc. one
could definitely understand
why the passion for the
game would diminish or
why someone would decide
to retire before anything bad
really happened.
Now if this truly becomes
a day after day occurrence,
THEN we have problems.
I just dont believe that
will happen but I fortunately dont make a
living as an oddsmaker or
prognosticator.
I think it is too popular
and there is too much money
to be made. Perhaps there is
a wont-happen-to-me attitude because of the moves
the NFL and such are trying
to make it safer theres
a lot to be said about the
squeaky wheel getting the
grease plus a biggerthan-life ethic I have written
about before; hey, the desire
for fame and money and all
that goes with it are powerful lures.
As I have written before,
where I think all these issues
will eventually hurt the NFL
is not now but a decade or
two down the pike, when todays youngsters that would
pros wont be.

It will affect the college
game even sooner when
those same stars will be
playing a different sport.
The NFL will then probably have some decisions
to make no one would have
ever dreamed.
What the game of football especially at the pro
level will be by 2030 is
anyones guess but I have a
feeling it wont be the same
as our generation, let alone
that of our parents.
Maybe you can call me
Obviousman but whod
have really thought this
would be happening now
five years ago?
This was a cute story that
caught my eye the other day.
The Utah Jazz signed a
player the other day, one
named JP Gibson.
Nothing special, correct?
Well, not so correct.
It seems Gibson is a
5-year-old boy diagnosed
with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia. He was given a
1-day contract as part of the
teams Anything Can Be
project; it is very much like
the Make a Wish Foundation but this is specifically
for children with cancer.
Well, he showed some
moves against the pros and
even put one down with
a little help from his new
friends!

LIMA The 2014-2015 wrestling
season officially wrapped up Wednesday night at the Lima Area Wrestling
Coaches Association All-Star Meet
held at Lima Central Catholics Msgr.
Edward Herr Gymnasium.
The meet had a patriotic feel as outstanding wrestlers from the area filled
out the line up for two teams simply
called red verses blue with the action
taking place under a large American
flag.
The meet was designed for the top
wrestlers most seniors finishing their
scholastic careers; others underclassmen getting their final shots at seniors
to have fun and display their talents,
generally for the last time on the mats.
Some of the grapplers wore smiles

and goofed around on the mat but wrestlers are competitive at heart with most
matches being intense in nature.
Lincolnview senior Alex Rodriquez
wrapped up his very successful Lancer career as he faced off against Jayden
Heffner of Wapakoneta. The all-time
wins leader at Lincolnview dropped a
5-0 decision to his Western Buckeye
League opponent.
Sophomore Wyatt Place was the
lone representative for Jefferson and
he made his coach Mike Wilson proud
with a 1-0 victory over Lee Dues of Allen East.
St. Johns had three wrestlers competing in the All-Star Meet for coach
Derek Sterling.
Senior Justin Siefker defeated Luke
Brown of Allen East 3-1.
State qualifier a sophomore
Brett Vonderwell dropped a close

match 3-2 to Ottawa-Glandorfs Dan
Beemer.
The final Blue Jay to take the mat
was 220-pound senior Austin Schulte.
The St. Johns standout led for the entire match against Zack Morris of Defiance and couldnt be saved by the bell,
surrendering a last-minute near fall.
In a battle of 2015 State qualifiers at
113 pounds, Hunter Lucas followed up
his runner-up showing at The Schott
(Division II State Wrestling Championships) with a 12-2 defeat of Elidas
Blaine Hunter.
Another State placer, George Clemons of Wayne Trace, defeated Defiances Ryan Lanto in overtime 4-2.
Another match of State qualifiers
saw LCCs Jack Huffman defeat Adam
Deatrick of Paulding.
Beckham homers, hits 2 doubles as White Sox beat Reds

By GARY SCHATZ
Associated Press
GOODYEAR, Ariz.
Gordon Beckham homered
and hit two doubles, sending the Chicago White Sox
past the Cincinnati Reds 9-4
Wednesday.
Alexei Ramirez added a
2-run double off Reds starter Jason Marquis. Geovany
Soto homered for the White
Sox.
Beckhams first homer this
spring was a 2-run shot off
Pedro Villarreal.
Marquis, set to fill one of
the Reds rotation jobs, retired the first nine batters before walking Emilio Bonafacio and Avisail Garcia in front
of Ramirez.
Marquis walked three in

five innings. He gave up four
runs and five hits.
White Sox starter Jose
Quintana pitched 4 2/3 innings. allowing a run
on two hits.
Quintana,
who
has never had a
major-league
hit,
bounced a hard bunt
over first baseman
Joey Vottos head
for an RBI single. It was the
first game either team played
without the designated hitter.
Todd Frazier hit his second homer in as many days,
a two-run shot off White Sox
closer David Robertson. Frazier also singled and scored
another run.
Reds: Marquis has apparently won a starting spot. The

Reds informed veteran Paul
Maholm that he is competing
for a bullpen role, eliminating
him from the competition.
Marquis allowed
one run over nine
innings in his three
prior outings. Walks
hurt him against the
White Sox.
spirational in some ways.

He said there was some
football talk, mostly about all
the trades that were going on.
It was nice to be in that
little world for a couple of
days and experience it, he
said.
KINGS ADVICE: Arnold Palmer had some
simple advice for Tiger Woods to turn his
game around: Practice and regain confidence.
Woods is missing
the Arnold Palmer
Invitational for the
second straight year.
He had a back injury in 2014 and feels
hes not ready to compete
this year. Palmer said Woods
called him to apologize for
his absence, though contrary
to one reporters suggestion,
the phone conversation did
not last one hour.
Woods, an 8-time winner
at Bay Hill, has played only
47 holes in two tournaments
this year, which included a
career-high 82 in the Phoenix
Open and a chipping display
that is simply shocking to
watch.
Woods has played six
PGA Tour events in the last
year. He has missed the cut
three times, withdrawn twice
and finished 69th in the British Open.

Palmer added Woods
should find a coach that he
has confidence in and go
work on his game. And thats
my best advice.
PALMERS
SHOULDER: Arnold Palmer slipped
on carpet in his
home last December and dislocated his right
shoulder.
He still is in
physical therapy,
with the Masters quickly approaching.
The
King
isnt playing but
he is determined to hit the
ceremonial tee shot with Jack
Nicklaus and Gary Player.
BAY HILL GREENS:
This isnt as bad as when
Quail Hollow lost its greens
two years ago, or the time
East Lakes greens were so
stressed in 2009 for the Tour
Championship that officials
had only about 4 square feet
for pin positions.
But the putting surfaces
are rough for the Invitational and Bay Hill plans to do
something about it.
The club said an upgrade
just six years ago did not
meet an anticipated level of
excellence and they will be
switched to TifEagle Bermu-
STARTING TIME
TRAINERS ROOM
White Sox: RHP Jesse Crain
was scratched from his minor-league appearance today.
Crain, who has not pitched in
a game yet, threw live batting
practice on Sunday. RHP
Nate Jones played long toss
on Monday. He is recovering
from elbow surgery. LHP

Chris Sale, who suffered a
fractured right foot on February 27, threw off the mound on
Thursday and played long toss
on Sunday.
Reds: RHP Homer Baileys
second live batting practice
session was scratched on Tuesday because he had a stomach
virus. The team will determine
whether he will throw another
one or pitch in the game against
Oakland on Sunday.
UP NEXT
Reds: RHP Anthony DeSclafani will pitch against Texas
today, opposing LHP Ross Detwiler. RHP J.J. Hoover, RHP
Jumbo Diaz, RHP Kevin Gregg
and LHP Manny Parra also will
pitch against the Rangers.
McIlroy feeling puny with company he keeps in the gym

By DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. Rory

McIlroy was in the gym and
in a rare moment, he felt out
of his element.
Consider his company.
McIlroy was at Augusta National last week with
his father and went to the
fitness center at the club Friday morning. Before long,
in walked Super Bowl MVP
Tom Brady. The next person
through the door about 15
minutes later? Peyton Manning.
That was my time to
leave, McIlroy said.
Along with being a little in
awe, McIlroy was impressed.
The Masters is three weeks
away. Training camp for the
NFL is four months away.
Its their offseason,
McIlroy said. I guess for
me it was to see all those
guys in the gym before their
season starts and theyre so
dedicated and committed to
what they do, especially those
two guys, Peyton and Tom.
Theyre both in their mid-30s
and they want to prolong their
careers as much as they can.
To see them putting so
much into it even after 15
successful years it was
great for me to see. It was in-
da during a summer project.

They might not look good
on television but tour officials
and some players said they
wouldnt be that bad.
The new grass will be installed with the no till method, meaning that the features
and contours will be preserved. The project is to start
in May and is expected to be
completed by early August.
Bubba Watson withdraws:
Masters champion Bubba
Watson has withdrawn from
the Palmer Invitational.
Watson informed the PGA
Tour on Wednesday that he
was pulling out of Bay Hill
because of the death of a
childhood friend. No other details were immediately
available. He is No. 2 in the
world, leaving the tournament with four of the top five
players in the world ranking.
Watson will try to become only the fourth player
to defend his title at Augusta National. A year ago, he
withdrew after an 83 in the
opening round because of allergies. A few weeks later, he
took out a membership at Bay
Hill.
Watson was replaced by
Kevin Kisner, who will play
the opening two rounds with
Brooks Koepka and Adam
Scott.

Do just one thing
by Danny Seo
Want to save time and energy,
and still get a home-cooked meal
in minutes at home? Try using a
pressure cooker. This airtight cooking pot uses steam pressure to cook
food very quickly. Unlike a microwave, which can give varied re-
sults, a pressure cooker uses about

70 percent less time and energy
than conventional cooking but still
delivers delicious results. Its also
foolproof: Just dump ingredients
inside to make stews, chili, breads,
desserts and even roast a whole organic chicken.

Dear Abby
Man long
ignored
by family
wants to
return favor
DEAR ABBY: I am
the youngest of three
boys. When I was growing up, my brothers
didnt have much to do
with me. At times they
were cruel, mocked my
interests and made fun
of my friends. At 19 I
moved into the dorms,
even though I was attending college locally.
My
professional
life took me away from
my hometown for 25
years. Both brothers
pretty much ignored
me, except for calls on
my birthday that were
filled with awkward
silence because we
didnt know each other well enough to talk
about anything. I lived
abroad for long periods,
and even though I sent
emails and postcards,
I never heard anything
from them in reply.
Now I live back in
my hometown and I am
expected to participate
in holiday and family
events because its
family. Please give
me the words to use to
refuse invitations I do
not want, from a family
who made it clear that
they had no use for me
for so long. -- WARY
IN WISCONSIN
DEAR
WARY:
Give the following standard refusal: Thank
you for wanting to include me, but I already
have other plans. No
one can argue with that.
I do, however, suggest
you choose ONE holiday a year to spend with
your family as a way
of maintaining minimal
contact. That way they
cant accuse you of
snubbing them.
DEAR
ABBY:
Three widowed friends
of mine still have their
late husbands voices on their answering
machines. I think its
spooky and in really
bad taste.
Is there any way to
gently suggest to them
that they change their
greeting to one in their
own voices or an anonymous one? Im a widow, too, and I wouldnt
think of leaving my
greeting that way. -FLABBERGASTED
IN FLORIDA
DEAR FLAB: Different strokes for different folks. Has it not occurred to you that these
ladies not only do not
find the sound of their
late husbands voices
the least bit spooky,
but that they might call
their own numbers in
order to hear it? They
may also feel safer having a male voice answer
their phone. Because
you find it upsetting,
consider texting or
emailing them instead.
DEAR READERS:
The departments of
psychiatry and medicine at Tufts Medical
Center want to learn
more about the impact
that caregiving has on
family members and
friends of people who
have been diagnosed
with schizophrenia or
schizoaffective disorder.
Because
family
members and friends of
individuals with mental illness play a large
part in providing care
-- while also balancing jobs and other life
responsibilities -- the
physicians and research
scientists at Tufts are
asking you to share the

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last

Dont allow yourself to get
sidetracked or dissuaded from
pursuing whats important to
you. If you allow minor matters to interfere with your
plans, you will lose valuable
time that should have been
spent furthering your career.
Stay focused and keep an open
mind.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Group activities or
events will lead to romantic
encounters. Be yourself and
dont try to make an impression by overspending or exaggerating. Use your compassionate nature to win over a
new acquaintance.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Listen to your intuition.
A change in direction is imminent. You have the resolve and
knowledge to take advantage
of any new opportunity. Dont
let anxiety or worry hold you
back.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Keep an open mind
when it comes to changes in
the workplace. If you are seen
as stubborn, you will jeopardize your position. Avoid excessive eating or drinking as a
means of stress relief.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Someone will try to blame
you for something you didnt
do. Avoid becoming involved
in a heated confrontation. Be
honest, and dont make excuses for yourself or anyone else.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Your interest in foreign
places will be satisfied if you
attend a cultural event. Dont
meddle in someone elses affairs. No matter which side
you choose, you will gain an
enemy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Generosity is a fine quality,
but flaunting your cash will
have others thinking that you
are trying to buy their friendship. Stick to your budget and
pay only your own way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Dont neglect someone you
care about. Attending a lot of
events by yourself or spending too much time away from
home will have a detrimental
effect on your relationship.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Keep an eye on your budget
when shopping. You may want
to treat yourself to something
special, but if it limits your
household funds, you will experience setbacks.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Love is in the air and romance and travel will go handin-hand. Your problem-solving talent will bring your
qualifications to the attention
of someone who can influence
your future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Stand up for yourself if someone you live with is
trying to limit your freedom.
You will need to find an agreeable balance before the situation comes to a head.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- An elderly relative
will offer surprising details
about your past. Love and passion are looking hot. What is
currently a casual friendship
has the potential to be much
more.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Some easy money is
headed your way through dividends, investments or insurance. Dont spend it too quickly. Saving for an unexpected
expense will ease your stress.

Ex-convict arrested in Phoenix-area shootings
MESA, Ariz. (AP) A gunman killed one person and

wounded five others Wednesday in a rampage that included a
motel shooting, a carjacking and a home invasion and ended
with his arrest at a nearby apartment in suburban Phoenix.
The suspect was taken into custody after officers spotted
him on an apartment balcony and shocked him with a stun
gun. Numerous officers led the handcuffed man to a truck
parked outside an apartment complex.
Police later identified the man as Ryan Giroux, a 41-yearold ex-convict who has served three stints in state prison since
1994.
Giroux served prison terms totaling more than eight years
for burglary, theft, attempted aggravated assault and a marijuana violation, the Arizona Department of Corrections said.
He was first incarcerated in 1994 and returned to prison
in late 1995 before being released about a year later. He then
returned to prison in mid-2007 before being released in late
2013.
Last year, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge
allowed Giroux to remain on probation despite an unspecified
probation violation.
Police said Wednesdays shootings started with an argument inside a motel room that spilled outside, leaving one
man dead and two women wounded, Mesa police Detective
Esteban Flores said.
Attack in
Tunis kills
19; two
gunmen slain
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) Foreign
tourists scrambled in panic Wednesday
after militants stormed a museum in
Tunisias capital and killed 19 people,
shooting at anything that moved, a
witness said.
Two gunmen were slain by security
forces following the deadliest attack on
civilians in the North African country
in 13 years, and the president said the
young democracy was embroiled in a
war with terror.
The militants, who wore military-style uniforms and wielded assault
rifles, burst from a vehicle and began
gunning down tourists climbing out of
buses at the National Bardo Museum.
The attackers then charged inside to
take hostages before being killed in a
firefight with security forces.
Authorities launched a manhunt for
two or three accomplices in the attack.
Prime Minister Habib Essid said the
two Tunisian gunmen killed 17 tourists
five from Japan, four from Italy,
two from Colombia, two from Spain,
and one each from Australia, Poland
and France. The nationality of one dead
foreigner was not released. Essid said
two Tunisian nationals also were killed
by the militants.
At least 44 people were wounded,
including tourists from Italy, France,
Japan, South Africa, Poland, Belgium
and Russia, according to Essid and
doctors from Tunis Charles Nicolle.
I want the people of Tunisia to
understand firstly and lastly that we
are in a war with terror, and these savage minority groups will not frighten
us, said newly elected President Beji
Caid Essebsi in an evening address
to the nation. The fight against them
will continue until they are exterminated.
The gunman then shot a man working at a nearby restaurant. The adult student at the nearby East Valley Institute of
Technology was able to run across the street to emergency
responders already at the motel, Flores said. The school said
in a statement that the victim was one of seven students and
an instructor working at Bistro 13 restaurant. The student was
treated at a hospital and released.
The gunman got away by carjacking the instructors car.
Police say the man then went to an apartment complex
about 2 miles away, where he entered an apartment and shot a
man. That victim will survive, police said.
A police officer found another man in a neighboring apartment building with multiple gunshot wounds, Flores said. He
was listed in critical condition.
The shootings prompted an intense hunt for the gunman as
Mesa police searched the trunks of cars, interviewed witnesses
and brought in SWAT and canine units from other agencies.
Flores warned people in the neighborhood to remain indoors.
Several buildings in the area were placed on lockdown amid
a heavy law enforcement presence. The Arizona Department
of Public Safety sent its SWAT team to Mesa to assist with the
effort, DPS spokesman Bart Graves said. Scottsdale police
also sent SWAT and canine units.
East Valley Institute of Technology officials said the school
went into lockdown as soon as gunshots were heard. The
lockdown lasted more than an hour, according to students.

Afternoon classes convened but were made optional.
A nearby Mesa Community College campus issued an
emergency alert, saying it was on lockdown and anyone there
should proceed to the safest location. The campus remained
closed Wednesday.
Vinny Carbone, who owns an auto body shop near the
motel and restaurant, said he was getting ready to open when
he heard a man yell help, help from Bistro 13 across the
street. He turned and saw a woman outside the motel with
what looked like a bullet hole in her side.
She was in a chair but she was holding onto another chair,
shaking, trying to keep her balance, Carbone said. Another
guy, he had blood on the back of his shirt.
Alex Martin, of Mesa, saw the chaos that ensued.
I heard several cop cars and ambulances and fire trucks
roll up past me. I get here and theres easily 20, 30 police units
just swarming the roads, Martin said.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey promised Mesa officials any
resources the state could offer.
Right now, our hearts and prayers are with the people of
Mesa, the individuals affected by this tragedy, and all law
enforcement and first responders working to assist the victims, he said.
Fraternities under fire

Associated Press
Racist chants. Nude photos of unconscious
women. A criminal investigation into hazing.
Fraternities around the country seem to be coming under fire as never before over behavior that
would shock the frat boys of Animal House.
Despite a major national push to reduce drinking and sexual assault on campus and increase
diversity, some fraternity chapters have failed to
clean up their acts. Universities and the fraternities national offices are quickly punishing the
offenders amid more promises of reform.
Some critics blame popular culture, saying its
making fraternities essentially ungovernable.
Theres this underlying acceptance that boys
will be boys, this is fraternity life and this is what
you have to accept when you walk through the
doors of a fraternity, Ellen Kramer, legal director
of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic
Violence, said Wednesday.
Defenders of fraternities say they do a lot of
good work on campus and the focus on their misconduct is misguided.
Bad behavior inside the walls of a frat house
or on campus generally is nothing new, of
course. Alcohol, immaturity and freedom from
parents have been a potentially troublesome combination for generations of undergrads.
But the incidents at the University of Oklahoma
and Penn State, in particular, have stunned many
and happened despite heavy scrutiny of misconduct at colleges.
At Penn State, police are investigating allegations members of Kappa Delta Rho used a
private Facebook page to post photos of nude
and partly nude women, some apparently asleep
or passed out. A former member told police the
invitation-only page was used to share photos of
unsuspecting victims, drug sales and hazing,
according to court documents.
The Facebook posts were very sad and very
offensive, Penn State President Eric Barron
said Wednesday, adding that students could be
expelled. Referring to Penn States fraternity system, Barron added: Its just unfortunately a large
system with some very fine young men and some
men who are not doing smart things.
The page came to light Monday, nearly a week
after a University of Oklahoma fraternity was
shut down when members were caught on video
singing a racist song. The university expelled two
students identified as ringleaders. Sigma Alpha

Epsilon disbanded its OU chapter and announced
Wednesday it will require all its members nationwide to go through diversity training.
We are focused on trying to determine the root
of this song or this chant, where it came from,
thats our primary focus, said Blaine Ayers, executive director of SAE, adding he was disgusted
and embarrassed by the video.
At the University of Houston officials promised expulsion and criminal charges pending the
outcome of a police investigation into hazing allegations. The Sigma Chi chapter and five members
were suspended over what university President
Renu Khator described as disturbing allegations
affecting the health and safety of our students.
Also this week, Sigma Alpha Mu said its chapter at the University of Michigan will be disbanded after some of its members helped trash two ski
resorts during an alcohol-fueled weekend, causing
hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
Why do the problems persist?
Thats a legitimate question, said Peter
Smithhisler, president of the North-American
Interfraternity Conference. My response is that
when fraternities are made aware of behaviors
inconsistent with their policies or values, they are
swift to action, and individual chapters are held
accountable when appropriate.
He added: And that is a meaningful part of the
fraternity experience.
Smithhislers group has created three commissions to study hazing, drinking and sexual assault
and come up with recommendations for fraternities. The study groups have yet to complete their
work.
Some colleges have gone to extremes to address
the problems. Colby and Bowdoin colleges in
Maine banned fraternities in the 1980s and 90s.
Last fall, Wesleyan University in Connecticut
ordered fraternities to go coed within three years.
Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, which
helped inspire Animal House, recently banned
hard liquor and is overhauling its housing system.
Allison Tombros Korman, executive director
of Culture of Respect, a group formed in October
to prevent sexual assaults, said fraternities and
universities can drastically reduce problems by
targeting campus social influencers fraternity
presidents, athletes and other campus leaders
who set the tone for their organizations.

Mandatory
voting? Obama:
it would be
transformative
WASHINGTON (AP) They say
the only two things that are certain in life
are death and taxes. President Barack
Obama wants to add one more: voting.
Obama floated the idea of mandatory voting in the U.S. while speaking to a civic group in Cleveland on
Wednesday. Asked about the corrosive
influence of money in U.S. elections,
Obama digressed into the related topic
of voting rights and said the U.S. should
be making it easier not harder for
people to vote.
Just ask Australia, where citizens
have no choice but to vote, the president
said.
If everybody voted, then it would
completely change the political map in
this country, Obama said, calling it
potentially transformative. Not only that,
Obama said, but universal voting would
counteract money more than anything.
Disproportionately, Americans
who skip the polls on Election Day are
younger, lower-income and more likely
to be immigrants or minorities, Obama
said. Theres a reason why some folks
try to keep them away from the polls,
he said in a veiled reference to efforts
in a number of Republican-led states to
make it harder for people to vote.
Statistically speaking, Obama is correct. Less than 37 percent of eligible
voters cast ballots in the 2014 midterms, according to the United States
Election Project. And a Pew Research
Center study found that those avoiding
the polls in 2014 tended to be younger,
poorer, less educated and more racially
diverse.
At least two dozen countries
have some form of compulsory voting, including Belgium, Brazil and
Argentina. In many systems, absconders must provide a valid excuse or face
a fine, although a few countries have
laws on the books that allow for potential imprisonment.

Members of the Putnam County Parents and Teachers Against
Common Core attended the meeting and spoke with Board members following up with them on resolutions against Common Core
discussed last month.
Superintendent Nick Langhals said the administration is not
against Common Core.
Were looking at local area resolutions and trying to get a handle on the language, he said. Were looking for a way to show
the state and lawmakers there ma be a better way than the one in
place. We still believe we have local control over the curriculum.
Elementary Principal Matthew Dub announced the official

It will be an unencumbered place for students to learn the way

The next Board of Education meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m.
on April 15 in the school library.
