Delphos Police Department lobby to close Monday

By nanCy SPenCer
DHI Media Editor
nspencer@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS On Monday, Delphos residents will notice a change at

the Delphos Police Department. Dispatching will be moved to the Allen
County Sheriffs Department Dispatch
Center at 10 a.m. and at 4 p.m., the lobby door will be locked to the public.
There wont be any access to the
lobby until we get the two new parttime clerks trained, Police Chief
Kyle Fittro said Friday. Once we get
those people in the chairs, the lobby
will be open 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday

through Friday.
Eliminating the dispatchers at
the station will save the city nearly
$40,000 this year and approximately
$110,000 per year beginning in 2015.
Delphos City Council officially approved a separation agreement for
dispatchers earlier this month.
Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish
explained the way the dispatching
from a Delphos resident on the Allen
County side would work.
The call will come in and we will
directly dispatch it to the police or
fire and rescue departments, he said.
Actually, it will eliminate a small
amount of lag time. Those calls come

in to us now and we transfer them to

Delphos and then they dispatch the
appropriate party.
All 911 calls made from cell
phones and landlines from Allen
County are automatically sent to the
county dispatch.
Crish said there will be issues that
will have to be worked out.
There are going to be bumps in the
road, he said. We have not had any
life-threatening problems and hopefully we wont but there will be things
that arise well need to address.
While most 911 calls from Delphos go into the Allen County center, Van Wert County 911 Coordina-

tor Kim Brandt said her center does

handle a few.
Cell phone calls can bounce
around from county to county, depending on how busy the tower is at
the time of the 911 call, Brandt said.
We have noticed that call delivery
is more accurate than it was a few
years ago, but there is still room for
improvement.
Fittro said the new operations policies will be difficult for some.
We have a lot of people who
come to the police station for many
different reasons, he said. Some
may be reporting a crime and others
may be looking for an accident report.

We went over our records for the last

year and its a 60-40 split in favor of
the person wanting to speak to an officer or detective.
A call box will be placed on the
outside of the lobby door. When the
button is pushed, it will connect the
person with the Allen County Sheriffs
Office. Once the nature of the call is
understood, an officer will be called to
the station or the person will be transferred to a phone tree for the municipal
building, the police department of the
fire department and asked to leave a
voice mail for the appropriate person.

Officials issue algae warning

By StePHanIe GrOVeS
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.

Summer is the prime time
for recreation at Ohio State
Parks and unfortunately
the growth of harmful algal blooms (HABs), toxinproducing bacteria that can
cause illness, irritation and
sometimes even death in
pets, livestock and humans.
Harmful algal blooms
are not algae at all. They are
made up of cyanobacteria,
which are also called bluegreen algae, and many species can generate toxins that
impact people.
Currently in Ohio, Grand
Lake Saint Marys and Buckeye Lake State Park have
Recreational Public Health
Advisories posted due to the
high toxin levels emitted by
the harmful blooms. Grand
Lake Saint Marys Park
Manager Brian Miller said
samples of lake water are
tested weekly and an analysis is performed every other
week.
When the algal blooms
die off, they create Microcystin toxins which are not
seen with the naked eye, he
explained. What you can
see in dead-end back waters are areas that look as if
there is a scum or pigments
of green and blue on top of
the water.
According to the Ohio
Environmental
Protection
Agency, HABs are common in most Ohio lakes.
They grow thick by feeding
on phosphorus from manure, fertilizers and sewage
that rain washes from agricultural fields into nearby
streams. HABs have colors
that are green, blue-green,

VAN WERT Being

old fashioned does not mean
that nothing ever changes.
To prove this, check out the
new additions to the schedule for the 38th annual Old
Fashioned Farmers Days at
the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. The event runs from
Thursday, July 3 through
Sunday, July 6, and festivalgoers can expect a lot of the
favorite events and displays
this year, and also some new
crowd-pleasers.
Making debuts this year
will be the classic rock/classic country group, the Dixie
Cadillacs who will help celebrate July 4 with a performance at the gospel Pavilion
Friday from 1-5 p.m. The
Clown with a Heart, Grace
C. Giggles will be on hand
Saturday from noon until 2
p.m. making balloon animals for the kids and putting
smiles on everyones face.
Also the Van Wert County
Fair Board presents a draft
horse pull Friday night at
the grandstand beginning at
7 p.m. And the grandstand
seats offer a great view of
the July 4 Fireworks after the
pulling is done.
Of course, Old Fashioned
Farmers Days means old

Grace C. Giggles, The Clown with a Heart, will be

on hand at this years Old Fashioned Farmers Days
to make balloon animals for kids. The 2014 Old
Fashioned Farmers Days will be held on Thursday,
July 3 through Sunday, July 6 at the Van Wert County
Fairgrounds. (Photo submitted)
tractors and equipment will
be on display. This years featured brand is John Deere, so
look for a sea of green tractors on the grounds. These
displays will go on all four
days, as well as saw milling, threshing, flea markets,
a trading post, animal land,
barrel rides for the kids, and

brown, black, white, purple,

red and black. They can look
like film, crust or puff balls
at the surface and may look
like grass clippings or dots
in the water. Some harmful
blooms look like pea soup,
foam, wool, streaks or green
cottage cheese curd.
OEPA Media Coordinator
Dina Pierce said the World
Health Organizations standard for Microcystin toxins
is set at 20 parts per billion
(ppb).
Ohios extra conservative six ppb threshold covers
individuals who are elderly
or very young and people
with compromised immune
systems that swimming or
wading is not recommend-

ed, she said.

Pierce explained HABs
can occur almost anywhere
there is water; lakes, ponds,
storm water retention basins,
rivers, streams or reservoirs.
Miller said the lake has
algal blooms all year long
and with the warmer season,
they will increase.
If an individual would
visit one of the beaches today, they will not see that
scum or spilled paint looking pigmentation on the water, he explained. Instead,
there is a green tint to the
water.

VAN WERT There is hope for relief

from sky-high energy prices, and local residents will get a chance to see the future during
the Van Wert County Fair this year.
The countys first energy expo, known as
NRG XPO, sponsored by Trillium
CNG and Iberdrola Renewables,
will give vendors of alternative and
sustainable energy products exposure to fair-goers this year. Information will also be available on how
to apply for grants, manufacturer
rebates, and tax rebates. Other innovations in the green energy industry
will be featured also.
The NRG XPO is being organized by the
Van Wert County Economic Development
Office after the County Commissioners were
approached earlier this year with the idea and
saw a need for leadership and education in this
subject area.
We want to feature all the potential that exists in the alternative energy arena, said Economic Development Director Sarah K. Smith.
Van Wert County is already recognized for

their work with Iberdrolas Blue Creek Wind

Farm and soon, Trillium CNG on the national
scale, but there is still so much education and
enterprise in this field at a local level. We aim
to showcase and present an avenue to provide
information to our residents and people who
struggle with energy-related expenses and inquiries everyday. If there is a way to help anyone figure out how they can save
money and do it in an environmentally-friendly way, we want
to do that.
According to Smith, the NRG
XPO will run Saturday through
Monday of fair week, Aug. 30Sept. 1 on the fairgrounds. The
event will feature several exhibitors and guest speakers. Already
committed to the expo are: Eco Jivasolar energy; Midwest Electric; Haviland Energy; the
Ohio Soybean Council; Energize Engineering;
the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Superior Energy Solutions; Van Wert Recycling;
local composting educator Dawn Marshall;
Weatherization; Iberdrola and Trillium CNG.
Exhibition space is still available by contacting the Van Wert County Economic Development Office at (419) 238-6159.

New York tourist

known as plague
survivor has died
By TERRy TANG
Associated Press
A man who nearly lost his
life in New York Citys first
instance of bubonic plague in
more than 100 years has died
of an unrelated illness in a
Santa Fe, New Mexico, hospital, his wife said Thursday.
John Tull was diagnosed
with a rare cancer last month,
but doctors didnt believe it
was connected to his previous
health struggles, said Lucinda
Marker, his wife. Tull was 65
when he died Wednesday.
In November 2002, the
New Mexico couple was on
vacation in the Big Apple
when both came down with
flu-like symptoms including
a fever and swollen lymph
nodes. They were diagnosed
with the plague, an exceedingly rare disease that wiped out
a third of Europe in the 14th
century. It was considered
New Yorks first plague case
in more than a century, but
doctors said Tull and Marker
had likely become infected
back home in Santa Fe.
While Marker recovered
within days, Tull was hospitalized for more than two
months. He fell into a coma
and both of his feet were amputated.
With the case coming in the
relative aftermath of the 9/11
terror attacks, speculation and
scrutiny were rampant. Marker said she was questioned for
days by a parade of people
from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, the
FBI and New York City health
officials.
They thought we were
possibly terrorists or victims
of bioterrorism, Marker said.
Dr. Ronald Primas, the
New York physician who diagnosed and treated them,
remembers the media frenzy

surrounding their cases. I

did like 40 interviews in two
days, he said.
Primas said everyone wanted to know if there was evidence the plague was caused
by bioterrorist activity or if it
would spread.
Had (John) waited another day, had he gone out
into the public with the cough
he had, theoretically he could
have spread it, Primas said.
About seven plague cases
are reported across the U.S.
each year, and the disease
can be treated with antibiotics, according to the CDC.
Worldwide, between 1,000
and 2,000 cases are reported
to the World Health Organization, the CDC says.
Fleas that feed on infected rodents or other mammals typically transmit the
plague bacteria. Researchers
have said the case of Tull and
Marker was pivotal in helping
them understand why plague
persisted in Santa Fe County,
where the couple lived.

Clean Power Plan aims to cut CO2 emissions by 30 percent

This is the first article in a
series which will explore the
Environmental Protection Agencys
Clean Power Plan and its impact
on nationwide and state levels.
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
On June 2, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed a nationwide framework
to cut carbon pollution from power plants. Proponents say that climate change is already posing risks to our nations health and economy.
The EPA says the Clean Power Plan will
maintain an affordable, reliable energy system,
while cutting pollution and protecting the nations health and environment now and for future generations.
Columbus Public Health Departments Section Chief of the Division of Environmental
Health Luke Jacobs said public health and climate change go hand-in-hand.
We applaud President Obama and the EPAs
effort to reduce carbon emissions, he said. We

hope Ohio carries forward with the plans of reducing carbon emissions.
Power plants are the largest source of carbon
dioxide emissions in the United States, making
close to one-third of all domestic greenhouse
gas emissions.
The plan puts the nation on track to cut carbon
pollution from the power sector by 30 percent by
2030 thats about 730 million metric tonnes
of carbon pollution. That equates to the annual
emissions from more than 150 million cars, or
almost two-thirds of the nations passenger vehicles; or the annual emissions from powering 65
million homes, over half the homes in America.
CO2 is one of the two major greenhouse
gases contributing to global warming which
impact our environment in detrimental ways,
Jacobs explained. One of the main concerns
is the migration of mosquitoes specifically
those carrying the chikungunya virus thats
spreading in the Caribbean.
Health officials report the disease carrying
vectors may have landed in Tennessee.
Jacobs said the hot, dry and wet climate impacted by the changes in environment are the
catalyst for the migration.
The Clean Power Plan has reported public
health and climate benefits worth an estimated

$55 billion to $93 billion per year in 2030, outweighing the costs of implementation at $7.3 billion to $8.8 billion.
According to the EPAs Fact Sheet By the
Numbers, reducing exposure to particle pollution and ozone will avoid a projected 2,7006,600 premature deaths, 140,000-150,000 asthma attacks in children, 340-3,300 heart attacks,
2,700-2,800 hospital admissions and 470,000490,000 missed school and work days.
The EPA estimates that from the soot and
smog reductions alone, for every dollar invested
through the Clean Power Plan, American families will see up to $7 in health benefits.
The Clean Power Plan will reduce smaller
pollutants that contribute to the soot and smog
that make people sick.
We are concerned about smaller particulate
matter PM2.5, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
dioxide and anytime we have the ability to
reduce them, the health field is supportive of
that, Jacobs confirmed.
In the U.S., there are 1,000 fossil fuel-fired
power plants with 3,000 units covered by the
plan. Utility planners are already making plans
to address an aging fleet; the average age of coal
units is 42 years; the average age of oil units
is 36 years; and the average age of natural gas

combined cycle units is 14 years.

State climate, energy efficiency and renewable energy policy statistics are in place in some
states, cities and businesses which have set energy efficiency targets increasing their use of
renewable energy to cut carbon pollution.
Ohio law contains an alternative energy
portfolio standard requiring 25 percent of
electricity sold by Ohios electric distribution
utilities or electric services companies must be
generated from alternative energy sources by
2025. At least half of this energy must come
from renewable energy sources, such as solar,
wind, biomass and hydro with a minimum of
one-half percent coming from solar resources.
One-half of the renewable energy facilities must
be located in Ohio.
The EPA also reports that there are currently
47 states with utilities that run demand-side
energy efficiency programs, 38 states with renewable portfolio standards or goals, 10 states
with market based greenhouse gas emissions
programs and 27 states with energy efficiency
standards or goals.
Each states initial plan or complete plan is
due June 30, 2016, and some states may be eligible for one or two year extensions when proposing either an individual or multi-state plan.

DELPHOS Glenna (Collins) Gossman will celebrate her 100th birthday

today and according to the centenarian,
she has no complaints.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my life,
she said Thursday. I enjoyed being married and raising my son and I enjoyed
working and taking care of my family.
Gossman was born on June 28, 1914,
in Crooksville just outside of Zanesville.
She married Clarence Gossman when
she was 24 and they had a son, Roger,
when she was 29. That suited Gossman
perfectly.
I loved family life, Gossman said.
I enjoyed cooking and everything that
went along with it. I made pies, cakes and
cookies and we had fried chicken most
every Sunday.
Crooksville was known for pottery in
the 1930-60s and items from Hull Pottery and Watt Pottery are now collectors
items with some pieces highly sought
after. The patterns on those dishes and
knickknacks may have been painted by
Gossman.
I worked at Hull until it burned down
in June 1950 and then I worked at Watt
for another 15 years or so, Gossman
said. I enjoyed every minute of that. I
loved what I did and the people I worked
with. I still have some pieces but we gave
a lot of it away.
Gossman said the pottery would come
down an assembly line and her job one
day might be to paint flowers on each
piece and the next day, leaves or stems.
She worked at Hull when a flood and
subsequent fire burned the factory to the
ground. She then moved to the Watt plant
until a fire destroyed that factory in October 1965.
A mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, Gossman has been through
two World Wars and the Korean, Vietnam and Iraq wars, the Great Depression,
Kennedys assassination and many other
historical happenings. For the first 40
years of her life, she heard about current
events on the familys radio. Her parents,
Harley and Emma Collins, didnt have

electricity on their farm outside Crooksville until the late 1940s or early 1950s.
The Depression sticks out in her mind.
You had to cut corners, she recalled.
Some things you always had before, you
had to do without. Neighbors helped each
other to get through the rough times. Everything was expensive and we didnt
have a lot of money. I took great pride in
my home because you had to work hard
to get yourself ahead.
Gossman now resides at Vancrest
Healthcare Center in Delphos so her son
and daughter-in-law, Vicki, can assist in
her care. She enjoys watching Wheel of
Fortune and is an avid Reds and OSU fan.
When asked what she thought about
technology and the advancements shes
seen in her life, she was very candid.
All those things are nice but what
matters is people, she said. You need
to stay involved with your family and
your friends. Ive had so many wonderful
friends. Ive had a good life.

INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS The Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is participating in Operation Dry Water this
weekend, as part of a nationally
coordinated effort to reduce the
number of accidents and deaths
related to boating under the influence (BUI) of drugs or alcohol.
Consuming alcohol on a
boat can have serious, and even
deadly, consequences, said
Gary Obermiller, chief of the
ODNR Division of Watercraft.
It is critical for drivers and passengers to stay sober and stay
safe at all times while boating.
The leading factor in boater
deaths nationwide is alcohol use
while boating. Operation Dry
Water will focus on increased
patrols, breathalyzer tests and
checkpoints as well as boater
education about the dangers of
boating under the influence.
Last year during the three-day
Operation Dry Water, ODNR Division of Watercraft officers contacted boaters on 456 vessels and
made 10 arrests for boating under
the influence (BUI).
In Ohio, boaters whose
blood alcohol content (BAC)
level exceeds the state limit of
.08 can expect to be arrested
for BUI and face other serious
penalties, including fines, jail
and loss of privileges to register and to operate boats.
Operation Dry Water is a
joint program of the ODNR Division of Watercraft, the National Association of State Boating
Law Administrators, the U.S.
Coast Guard and local marine
patrol officers. For more information on Operation Dry Water,
visit operationdrywater.org.
The ODNR Division of Watercraft is responsible for boating safety, education and law
enforcement on all waters of
the state. This statewide area
includes the near-shore area
along 451 miles of the Ohio
River, approximately half the
entire surface area of Lake
Erie, more than 605 inland
lakes and more than 60,000
miles of inland streams, rivers
and other waterways.

Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting Material Into Miracle Socks

for Diabetics andfibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!

What part of your swollen, tired,

or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a BambusaTM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were photographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemuscle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor
Recommended
Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. Infrared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
BambusaTM socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had painfree feet - UNTILNOW!

I went out on the golf course

for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New

Roosevelt takes command of San Juan, leads charge

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher

Entrenchments were placed
along the top of the hill, manned by
750 Spanish soldiers with orders to
defend the heights against the approaching forces. To their backs was
Santiago, Cuba, filled with Cuban
citizens and another 10,000 Spanish
troops in reserve.
At the base of the hill, United
States troops and a regiment of volunteer cavalrymen named the Rough
Riders waited in the sun and the
strength-sapping humidity. Spanish
soldiers peppered them with shot after shot, bunching the Americans together as they tried to use what little
cover was available. One of the depressions in which they tried to hide
was called Hells Pocket and while
another was Bloody Ford.
In an effort to find a way up the
hill, the U.S. forces employed a tactic that would not become popular
until World War I and essential in
World War II air reconnaissance.
They launched a hot air balloon and
sent two men aloft to look for a clear
way up the hill. The slow drifting
behemoth was an easy target for the
Spanish marksmen and they quickly
shot enough holes in it that it fell back
to earth. But not before the soldiers
found what they thought was a safe
path and they signaled to the officers
which way to go. The Americans began moving troops into position.
But things were still not going well at the base of a rise called
Kettle Hill. The Rough Riders
hid in a small ditch, slowly being

Less than 1,000 American cavalrymen and rough riders fought 2,000
Spaniards in thickets, driving them
back into the city. The American loss
was 12 or 13 dead, and at least 50
wounded, including six officers. Several of the wounded will die. Twelve
Spaniards were found dead in the
brush. There loss is doubtless greater.

A Good Idea
It would be a good thing if farmers having
wind pumps near the highway would place a
watering trough on the outside for the convenience of the public. This arrangement would
entail some little expense, and occasion some
annoyance no doubt, but the convenience to the
public would be very great, and would doubtless be appreciated. Put a watering trough
on the road and your name on your barn and
house and your place will be well and favorably known all over the county.

Fell From Engine

Tank While
Crossing Bridge
This morning about 10 oclock, as the Clover Leaf north bound local was nearing Dupont, and just as the train was crossing the
bridge over the Auglaize river, Joseph Wurstner, of this town, the fireman on engine No. 68,
with David Anderson, engineer, left his seat in
the cab and crawled over the coal to the rear
of the tank, to get ready to fill the tank full of
water at the plug just north of the river. The top
of the tank was wet and his foot slipped.
Wurstner fell from the tank headlong and his
body struck one of the iron rods on the bridge,
so that when he struck the ground about 25 feet
below, near the edge of the water, he did not
alight on his head, which would probably have

his men dying by the minute, Teddy

did what came naturally to him he
reacted. He ordered a charge and
climbed back on his horse to lead his
men into battle. Since all the other
horses were away from the front line,
Roosevelt presented a huge target to
the Spanish soldiers but somehow
they moved forward without his being hit.
The oppressive heat quickly began to take a toll. His men labored
up the hill behind him, some dropping at every few steps not from
bullets but from heat exhaustion.
They were joined along the way by
elements of another nearby brigade
including some of the

was considerably bruised and his left breast

He was brought to Delphos this afternoon
on train No. 1 and removed to the home of his

This week in 1914, all
hopes for a quick end to the
coal mine workers negotiations blew by the wayside
when the owners/operators

districts of Ohio left the joint
wage conference. While some
owners were still trying find
middle ground over wages,
those who left said they were
done talking with the miners
union. The union was asking for 49.64 cents per ton of
machine-mined coal. The remaining owners had offered a
raise to 43 cents.

A meeting was held in

If it was not, the creation of

Wrestling for power

We can no longer wait for Congress to do its job So where
Congress wont act, I will.
- President Obama in his October 29, 2011 weekly radio address
Weve got a lot to do in 2014. Ive got a pen, and Ive got a
phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take
executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball
forward
- President Obama to his Cabinet during the first meeting of
2014 (January 14, 2014)
As the head of the executive branch of the U.S. government, we
expect the President to act as a leader. It fits the American culture
where we want our leaders to be take-charge individuals. That
makes it easy to understand how there were some people in the
country who stood up and cheered when President Obama said
he was tired of the gridlock in Congress and that he would press
forward, by himself if need be, to accomplish the items that he
thought needed to be accomplished.
A funny thing happened along the way to getting things done,
however. What President Obama said he would do was not legal.
On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Obama
stepped over the limits of his authority when he made recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board in 2012. He
made the move because of his frustration over the lack of progress
in filling the positions. The problem is the U.S. Senate argued it
never went into recess, gaveling in and out every three days as
required.
Most importantly, this ruling was not a squeak-by-on-apartisan-vote decision. The Justices ruled 9-0 against President
Obamas power grab and in favor of Congress.
Lets say that again: None of the Justices believed President
Obama had the authority to act as he did.
When was the last time there was universal agreement on anything in Washington D.C.? Now, because of the Supreme Court
ruling, more than 420 decisions made by the NLRB since the appointments are under scrutiny. It will most likely take years and
hundreds of millions of dollars to sort out the mess and all the
soon-to-be-filed lawsuits.
But the issue with the executive branch taking liberties with its
authority has just begun. A day earlier Speaker of the House John
Boehner said he was planning a lawsuit against President Obama,
calling into question multiple executive orders and actions that either contradict standing law or skirt the enacting of law through
Congress.
Now, to be fair, the lawsuit may go no where. The problem will
be Boehner proving standing that a concrete, personal injury
has been done to him by the Presidents actions or inactions.
But that is not the point. The point is our federal government
has arguably reached a point it has never been to in history. When
the Constitution was written, it provided for a series of checks and
balances to ensure no one branch of the government became more
powerful than another. In this case, if a President was attempting
to act outside of the ability of the executive office, for instance
writing executive orders that were treated as laws, then Congress
could pass laws that nullified his actions.
However, President Obama has already shown, and boasted
about, his willingness to only enforce the portions or whole laws
he agrees with.
So, Congress only remaining power would be to call for impeachment hearings. While an impeachment may pass the Republican-led House of Representatives, it will certainly fail in the
Democrat-led Senate where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
will not even call for votes on House-passed legislation.
With the President picking and choosing what laws to uphold
or enacting laws on his own and Congress unwilling or unable to
defend its Constitutional powers, Americans are left with something they never wanted to see: a Constitutional crisis that could
define the make up of the federal government for decades.
We can only wait to see who comes out on top.

Time for a pop quiz

I havent been enrolled in
school for many years, but it
seems we are always quizzed
in life. Im not talking about
figuring out which fork in the
road to take or deciding if
your friend is telling the truth
or not. Im talking about magazine-type quizzes.
Back in my younger days,
non-school quizzes were
mostly out of Cosmopolitan magazine. My research
shows they still have all these
silly quizzes (at least on their
website, Im not shelling out
money to do research!), and
they seem to be rather limited
in subject. There are personality quizzes (Would anybody
put up with me?), relationship
quizzes (Would anyone of the
opposite sex put up with me?),
and of course, intimacy quizzes (Would anyone of the op-

posite sex ), and thats pretty much the whole selection.

The current intimacy quizzes
have off titles, in my opinion. Do Guys Think Youre
Sexy? (I hope not), Are You
Good in Bed? (I am a good
sleeper), and How Much Sex
Appeal Do You Have? (Im
scared to get near this one).
All I really know for sure is
that if my date had been taking a Cosmo Quiz before I
picked her up for our date, I
didnt stand a chance because
they all seemed to be targeting
men as good-for-nothing pigs.
I didnt want my date to find
that out too early. I preferred
to spring it on her later!
Now the online world has
brought forth a whole host
of ridiculous quizzes which
seem to have no real meaning or worth whatsoever. I

took one this week to find out

also cant laugh or cant sing?
Or am I overthinking this? If I
had gotten Copacabana as a

I should be named Rico and

Most wouldnt dare sneak away from the factory or office

by U.S. Mens National Team head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann
and carried the seal of someone really important like the

On Thursday, Klinsmann posted this for Americans to print

YOUR OPINIONS
Local man thanks dealership
To the editor,
On Saturday June 14, I sent a letter disparaging a local auto
dealership. By 10 a.m. that morning I had received a call from
the general manager of that dealership. He stated that he was
unaware of the situation and seem very concerned and asked
what I thought needed to be done. I said I felt the item should
be fixed. He promised to have the service manager call me on
Monday. I did receive the call and took the vehicle back to them
to be fixed.
Although it took ten days (to be fair, two of those days were
a weekend) to get the problem solved, it was fixed. Believe me
folks, I was not trying to get something for free. I am just of
the opinion that if you are going to sell something (whether
as is or not), it should be right before being sold. I am sure
that the dealership may have a different opinion, but we are all
entitled to our own. The fact that the dealership stood tall and
responded to my complaint says much about them. I believe if I
were to purchase another vehicle I would feel good about doing
business with them. So again I want to thank the dealership for
keeping its promises.

Local couple appreciates

support given to grandson

It has been six years since the first accident of Tylers and
yet the local churches continue to pray for him. The Van Wert
City School and all of its staff and employees, too many to list,
have worked so hard to assure Tyler the best education and the
students support and friendship have been awesome.
Graduation day began as a difficult day for Tyler, as he realized he would not be seeing his friends and classmates in
school anymore but once again this wonderful community displayed its never-ending support with a standing ovation as Tyler received his diploma. What a humbling experience that was
for our family and most of all for Tyler to realize how much
they support and care for him.
And thank you Times Bulletin for printing Tylers picture in
the paper receiving his diploma. Just another fine example of
this communitys support for him.
We are so very grateful for this communitys support and
prayers for Tyler all these years and we hope it continues as he
begins his adult life.
You are the best Van Wert!

Iraq & U.S. Crazy is as crazy does

Political correctness dictates never to label as crazy
beliefs held by a culture. Instead, utilize euphemisms
such as unique, intriguing,
or, at worst, misunderstood.
The Islamic radicals that just
invaded Iraq from Syria hold
to the belief that everyone in
the world that does not agree
with them should be killed.
Hard to misunderstand
that. To paraphrase the old
country song, if calling them
crazy is wrong, then I dont
want to be right.
But then theres us. After
over a decade of failed experiments in nation-building,
there are still calls from some
of our leaders for immediate re-engagement in Iraq.
Bombs, troops, helicopters
kill some sense into em. One
measure of insanity is doing
the same thing over and over
and expecting a different result. By that metric, where
does that crowd stand on the
crazy scale?
Its safe to say that we are
done nation-building in that
part of the world. Fini. What
seemed like a noble but ludicrous proposition transforming Iraq into a democratic
beacon for the entire Middle
East turned out to be just
that. Admit it, even if you are
a Republican, when George
W. first unveiled that plan, you

secretly rolled your eyes. It

was just so George W.
So, if we are not looking
to nation-build anymore and
we are not looking to topple
a government, what is the ultimate goal beyond killing
just as many of them as we
can? To feel good? Where are
we hoping to be when that
dust settles? Would killing
all of the crazies bouncing
around in the back of those
Toyota trucks solve anything
or accomplish any long-term
American objectives? Our
own heritage should be exhumed. Despite what else
political correctness dictates,
its fair to say we are a nation
founded in Christianity. So we
know about Jesus. We know
that his teachings made for a
better way of life, but it was
his crucifixion that made a religion. Killing a person tends
to do the opposite to the idea
that person represents.
In the Middle East, we are,
and always have been, fighting
an idea disguised as insane
people. Its a simple idea but
sometimes those are the most
catchy, like an early Beatles
tune. Its not an idea familiar
in the Western World, so we
will never understand it. Not
totally. We can kill the people
who hold the idea, but in doing so, were sanctifying the
idea. I mean, 72 virgins is one

thing, but 72 virgins and revenge on whoever killed your

family? Thats downright motivational.
What do you do for a part
of the world that has no aspiration other than to get its Jihad on? From the American
experience, the hope should
be that they want to Jihad all
over each other, as they did
quietly for centuries before we
started buying their oil. Now,
that is apparently what they
desire again if we would just
let them. Iran, if you think Israel is a problem, let us introduce you to our little friends.
We are at a point in history
where we can be a peaceful
country again. We are possibly one election away from
proceeding with energy independence and our first freedom from the Middle East
in almost three generations
long enough ago that no
one remembers a nation that
wasnt perpetually at war or
on the verge of war. No one
else in the world is foolish
enough to want to tangle with
our military. Although we
cant impose freedom on the
world, it is finally available to
us again.
There are the innocents in
Iraq that will be brutalized by
these invaders. But this is their
war. We have tried to fight it
for them and that doesnt

work. Weve learned that nations arent formed through

our sacrifice. If they are never
willing to fight, theres nothing we can do for them in the
end anyway.
There is the danger of
the formation of a terrorist
state. Maybe, but let them get
bogged down with trying to
govern. Heighten our intelligence, build an invisible fence
around it all and watch it like a
hawk, as Im sure we do North
Korea a rogue state with
nukes. Eventually, as this terrorist state fights its neighbors
over the years, it will forget all
about us. Its a human tragedy
but its not ours. We have officially tried more than we ever
should have to fix the unfixable, costing us thousands of
our own sons and daughters
and billions of dollars. We are
only as crazy as our inability
to learn. The last twenty-five
years have been, to say the
least, instructive.

two cents
(From page A6)
Lets begin. The quiz is What Decade Are You? Heres the
first of six questions. Whats most likely to get you out of the
house? The choices: Meeting friends for coffee, a hot new club
opening, a new video game at the arcade, a political protest,
burgers and shakes. I can see where this is going already
each answer is a stereotypical answer of a decade like a political protest is the 60s, etc. Ill go with burgers and shakes
since I always need to eat. Question Two. You prefer jeans that
are: designer, tight, well-worn, classic and cuffed, flared. Same
obvious stereotyping I see. Ill go with well-worn, since that
pretty much describes me. That or well-worn out! Your political views: are liberal, are radical, are conservative, depend on
the issue, are on the libertarian side. A lot of ways I could go
with this, but I like to study and make my own decisions, so
Ill hit Depend on the issue. Next question: You relationship
could be described as: full commitment, an open relationship,
a friendship that turned into love, living in sin, complicated. Of
course that last one could probably apply to everyone in a relationship, but in my case Im going with friendship that turned
into love, which also could probably apply to everyone in a

relationship also. Question 5: What musical artist will you always love? Choices: Led Zepplin, Nirvana, Elvis, U2, Beatles.
Ive narrowed it down to the last three, but none of those fit the
question perfectly. Ill go with U2 because its easiest to type.
In quizzes, thats a legitimate reason to decide on a choice. Last
question: How would you describe your outlook? Anxious and
bold, rebellious and free spirited, conservative and respectful,
cynical and realistic, wild and outgoing. Thats a tough one.
If my song is truly Wild Thing I should go with the second
one, but nothing ever seems to correspond between quizzes. Ill
go with cynical and realistic. I am real, anyway. That much I
know. That and I Cant Smile Without You.
Now the result. Brace yourself. Are you braced? Me either.
I may fall off my chair. I am the 1990s. I was alive during
the 1990s, but other than that, I just dont get it. Am I modern? Am I outdated? I wonder if I could have gotten a result of
the 1890s? the 1770s? Anything BC? Oh well, Ill try the next
quiz If I Were A Tree What Kind Would I Be? Im guessing
Im a wild tree, planted in the 1990s by a guy either Watching
West Side Story or whistling Cant Smile Without You.

their reasoning for having such

editorials is to provide awareness and knowledge for the
community and to be thought provoking. The views expressed
in these editorials do not represent Van Wert High School, and
are written solely by the student author.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution
states Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. What
exactly does this mean? My interpretation is that Congress
should not interfere with religion. History has shown us that
corruption occurs when such events take place. Thomas Jefferson would have agreed with me. The Danbury Baptist Association drafted a letter to Thomas Jefferson saying freedom
of religion was a right given by God. The government should
not have to grant natural rights to the citizens. Jefferson agreed
with him; however, he did go on to say There ought to be a
separation from church and state.
Should there be a separation between church and state? The
separation between the church and state started through the
establishment clause, but no where in the constitution does it
say religion cannot be in our government.. The First Amendment was interpreted incorrectly. Today court uses the First
Amendment to prohibit religious activities that the Founders
once encouraged! The Founders never envisioned the First
Amendment as a tool to separate religious principles from public affairs, they thought that it would preserve those values in
public life.
I believe the government has misconstrued the Founders
intentions and have slowly, but consistently, eroded the Religious Foundations our country was built upon. I encourage all
to continue to stand up for and EXPRESS your beliefs so that
We, THE PEOPLE, may start to chip away at the restrictions
the government has created for us.

The time is now

I once again write to suggest that the time has come to
consider legislation in Ohio to
allow for the sale and use of the
full line of consumer fireworks.
Consumer fireworks are
safer today than they have
ever been in the history of
our country. John Adams, in
a prophetic 1776 letter to his
wife Abigail, suggested that
the Independence Day holiday
ought to be solemnized with
pomp and parade, bonfires
and illuminations (fireworks)
from one end of this continent
to the other, from this day forward forevermore.
Today in America, we celebrate as John Adams suggested with the modern version of
bonfires and illuminations, that
being barbecues and fireworks.
Nothing could be more patriotic, and nothing else quite suffices for the Fourth of July.
In 1994, the American
Fireworks Standards Laboratory first began testing consumer fireworks at the factory
level in China for compliance
with U.S. manufacturing and
performance standards. Since
1994, the use of fireworks in
America has increased some
77 percent from 117,000,000
pounds to 207,500,000 pounds
in 2012.
Against this tremendous
increase in the use of the products, the Consumer Product
Safety Commission reports
that fireworks-related injuries dropped over 30 percent
from 12,500 in 1994 to 8700
in 2012.
Forty-six states now permit the sale and use of some
level of consumer fireworks.
Since 2006, the following
states have liberalized their
fireworks laws by permitting
some additional level of con-

sumer fireworks over what

had previously been permitted
ranging from ground-based
products to the full-line of
products: Arizona, Georgia,
Indiana, Kentucky, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode
Island, and Utah. Legislation
has been considered in Iowa,
Massachusetts, Virginia, and
West Virginia.
In considering and enacting the legislation, these states
have all recognized the improved safety record of consumer fireworks and the fact
that sorely needed revenue
could be generated from the
sale of the products.
Everyone loves fireworks.
People love to watch major
league sports, and they also
love to play sandlot sports.
The same holds true with fireworks. People love to watch
professional displays, and they
also love to shoot their own
backyard fireworks.
Ohio legislators have the
power to change the fireworks
laws and take their constituents out of the shadows of
uncertainty and illegality and
bring Ohio to parity with so
many other states that permit
the sale and use of the full line
of consumer fireworks. This is
long overdue.
Write or e-mail your legislator and ask for legalization
of the full line of consumer
fireworks. Take us out of the
consumer fireworks dark ages
and into the modern era.
Enjoy the Independence
Day holiday with your family
and celebrate safely.
Very truly yours,
William A. Weimer

(From page A1)
The most recent results from the
OEPA show on June 3, Grand Lake
Saint Marys level of Microcystin toxins 20-22 times higher than the state
threshold. The areas tested include:
East Beach, 126.8 ppb; State Park
Camp Beach, 122.4 ppb; West Beach,
130.4 ppb; and Windy Point Beach,
135.2 ppb.
With all these tests, they are a
snapshot in time, Miller explained.
Things can change very rapidly with
varied environmental factors.
Three beaches at Buckeye Lake
were tested on June 9 and were found
to have elevated levels of Microcystin toxin resulting in these findings:
Brooks Park Beach, 7.5 ppb; Fairfield
Beach, 3.3 ppb; and Crystal Beach, 19
ppb.
The Western Basin of Lake Erie
stretching from Detroit, Michigan,
to the Toledo and Sandusky areas have
had harmful algal bloom issues for
several years, Pierce explained. Its
a symptom of the phosphorus watershed from Northwest Ohio.
She added that the Auglaize and
Blanchard rivers drain into the Maumee River, where there is a lot of sediment and run-off, both from farmlands
and residential sewage overflows,
which aggravate the elevated algae issues at Lake Erie.
More than 40 freshwater species
of HAB-forming cyanobacteria are
known to make toxins. The three main
classes of toxins produced by cyanobacteria are nerve toxins (or neurotoxins), liver toxins (or hepatotoxins);
and skin toxins (or dermatotoxins),

which may cause itching, rashes or

other allergic reactions.
If a person touches the blooms,
swallows water with toxins or breathes
in water droplets, they could get a
rash, have an allergic reaction, get a
stomach ache or feel dizzy or lightheaded. These toxins may affect the
liver, nervous system and/or skin. The
blooms are also toxic to pets.
Before visiting a state park, people
can exercise due diligence and visit
educational websites like the OEPAs
Algae 101, Miller said.
He said travel and tourism was impacted when the first advisory was put
up in 2009. At this time, people are
fishing and boating and there is a lot
of boat traffic going on.
As for fish consumption, I recommend people use fish consumption
guidelines, he said. Fillets have
been tested and the algae issue does
not affect consumption. What will affect consumption is mercury or PCBs
(Polychlorinated Biphenyl).
Many HAB-forming organisms are
native to Ohio but only cause problems
when environmental conditions often human-induced conditions favor them. Lake Eries most prevalent
HAB-forming organisms include Anabaena, Aphanizomenon and Microcystis (this trio is sometimes known as
Annie, Fannie and Mike).
There are several common, often
visible cyanobacteria that make up
HABs in Ohio:
Microcystis are globular colonies that can adjust their buoyancy to
move up and down through the water
column and is the most dominant cya-

nobacteria in Ohios Lake Erie waters;

Anabaena are colonies of hairlike filaments that can be planktonic
or form mats along the bottom or near
shore;
Aphanizomenon are colonies of
planktonic filaments that often bundle
together and is sometimes sold as a dietary supplement. Consuming the supplement could be dangerous since the
supplement is not regulated and may
contain cyanobacterial toxins;
Cylindrospermopsis are colonies
of planktonic filaments that distribute through the water and are teardrop-shaped cells. A recent invader to
Ohios Lake Erie waters and Buckeye
Lake;
Lyngbya are colonies of clustered
filaments, usually visible to the naked
eye that often form dense mats along
the bottom that float to the surface
later in the growing season. One of
Ohios recently problematic species
(specifically Lyngbya wollei, also
known as Plectonema wollei), especially on Maumee Bay near Toledo;
Nostoc are colonies of filaments
that usually clump into a green, gelatinous, marble-like ball. Sold as a
dietary supplement and consumption
could be dangerous since the supplement is not regulated and may contain
cyanobacterial toxins; and
Planktothrix are colonies of
planktonic filaments that distribute
through the water which have dominated recent HABs on Grand Lake St.
Marys and is very common to Ohios
inland lakes and reservoirs.

Delphos that are dead zones, he
said. We also have several streets
that share their names with ones in

a dispatcher that isnt familiar with

landmarks instead of street names

Railroads Operated
Differently in
Earlier Days
A passenger states, In the
seat ahead of me was a farmer,
so jubilant over buying a new
buggy he was taking home
with him that he had to turn
around and tell me all about
it, when the conductor came
through and tapped him on
the shoulder.
Say Darius, he said, hes
slowing down for your jumping off place.
What town are we coming
to? I asked Darius.
Oh, no town he answered.
Just my farm. I know the conductor and engineer pretty
well and they always let me
off here. Saves me from walking six miles from town.
Just then the train stopped
and Darius made leisurely for
the door and scrambled off
the platform. Several minutes passed and we didnt
move. Guess theyre helping
Darius off with his buggy,
I said to myself and went on
reading the paper. Maybe I
had read for 5 or 10 minutes
more and we didnt move on.
Hello, I said, still standing here. Wonder if Darius
got his buggy off yet? With
that I stuck my head out the
window to see, and bless me,
if there wasnt the engineer,
the fireman and the conductor
helping Darius put his buggy
together. And the brakeman
was uncrating the shafts.
Did anyone object to the
delay? Not a soul. They acted
as if it was an everyday occurrence. The crew went deliberately at it, not giving railroad
schedules a thought, until the
buggy was all put together and
the son of Darius came across
the field leading a horse. Then
Darius thanked them and
guessed he and his boy could
hitch up the horse all right,
and the trainmen all crawled
back on the train and we got

underway again.
That happened on the trip
up. On the down trip we made
a stop in the open country and,
as Id seen no one get off, I
got out to investigate. When I
walked up to the engine, I saw
the engineer on his knees on
the track, pounding away like
all possessed.
Whats up, I asked?
Oh, nothing much, he
said. On the way up I noticed
this rail was a little loose, so
when I was in town I threw a
spike and a hammer into the
engine, and now Im respiking
it. Thats all.

lot slower then. R.H.)

Looked For a
place to Dance
A dance was advertised
to take place at Ft. Jennings,
Wednesday evening, but
was given up on account of
a church festival that was in
progress. A big event of people from Delphos and Ottoville and the country surrounding Ft. Jennings, went to that
town to attend the dance and
were very much disappointed.
Not to be outdone, the crowd
went to Ottoville, but were
disappointed in getting a hall
there. However, some of the
people indulged their inclination to dance, a room at one of
the hotels being pressed into

Jefferson punishes Bearcats, 13-4

BY JIM MeTCALFe
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
CONVOY Jefferson pounded
out 13 hits and punished Spencerville 13-4 in Fridays opener at
Convoy.
The Wildcats put four players on
the mound: lefty starter Jake Pulford and righties Brendan Herron,
Jace Stockwell and Hunter Binkley.
Spencerville used three hurlers
in what ended up being their summer season finale Luke Carpenter, Mitchell Youngpeter and Brady
Becker.
The Wildcats put up a 2-spot
in the top of the first. Stockwell
led off with a single to left, stole
second and took third on a Hunter
Binkley base hit. After Binkley
stole second, Gaige Rassman flied
out to center to score Stockwell
and moved Binkley to third, from
where he scored on a Gage Mercer
rip down the left-field line.
The Wildcats made it 6-0 in
the top of the second. Nick Fitch
grounded a hit into right and Kurt
Wollenhaupt singled up the gut
before Stockwell singled to load
the bases. An error on Binkleys
Jeffersons Brandan Herron delivers a pitch during the fifth inning grounder plated Wollenhaupt and

afternoon. (DHI Media/John Parent)
third. Rassman slapped a single to

center that got Stockwell and Binkley across for a 6-0 edge.
The Wildcats made it 7-0 in the
third. With one down, Fitch and
Wollenhaupt walked. Fitch eventually scored on a Spencerville error.
Delphos made it 8-0 in the
visitors fourth. With one out,
Mercer walked, stole second and
got to third on a wild pitch. Pulford walked. Ryan Bullinger then
blooped a hit to left center to score
Mercer.
Spencerville tallied three in the
home fourth. Brady Nolan walked
and Connor Vogt blooped a hit to
right. J.T. Thiery walked to load
the bases, and a passed ball plated
Nolan and moved the other runners
up. Youngpeters groundout scored
Vogt and Frenchs chop into left
scored Thiery from third for an 8-3
deficit.
The Jeffcats got one back in the
fifth on a 1-out double to deep center by Stockwell, a 2-out wild pitch
and an error to make it 9-3.
The Wildcats continued the attack with a 3-spot in the sixth before Spencerville plated its final
run in the home half of the sixth.
Thiery blooped a hit into right and
scored on a 1-out triple to deep center by Hunter French.
Jefferson accounted for the final
run in the seventh on a 1-out rip to

didnt need a lot of help in the
second game of the District 5
ACME summer baseball opener Friday night at the Crestview
Sports Complex.
He 1-hit St. Johns.
However, he also got plenty
of offensive help with an 11-hit
attack and four Blue Jays errors
in a 14-0, 5-inning affair.
The Cougars advance to a
matchup with Jefferson the
other winner Friday afternoon
at 6 p.m. Saturday.
Fetzer tossed 73 pitches (44
strikes) while walking four
with four strikeouts.
The Jays used four hurlers:
lefty starter Jake Youngpeter,
who was charged with 8 runs
(3 earned) in 1.1 innings, Gage
Seffernick, Josh Warnecke
and Ryan Hellman. All told
they threw 115 pitches, 66 for
strikes.
Youngpeter tossed 42 in
the bottom of the first inning
alone when he was tagged
for five runs. With one down,
Joe Lisa singled after staying alive on an error on a foul
pop, Brandt Henry walked and
Fetzer singled in Lisa, with the
other runners advancing on the
throw home. An error on Mason Carrs ground ball scored
Henry and put runners on the
corners. After Carr stole second, Ethan Williams slapped
a 2-run knock to right, part
of a 4-RBI night for the third
baseman. Gavin Gardner kept
the inning going with a double
to left center, and Williams
scored on a Ryan McCracken

groundout for a 5-0 lead.

The Jays had their best
threat in the top of the second.
With one down, Fetzer lost
command of his pitches and
issued back-to-back walks to
Seffernick and Buddy Jackson.
Though the Jays got runners to
second and third, two fly balls
ended the uprising.
The Cougars doubled their
lead in the second, again batting around. Justice Tussing
led off with an infield single
up the middle, stole two bases
and scored on a 1-out double to
center by Henry. Fetzer walked
to finish Youngpeters day on
the mound. Carr was walked
by Seffernick and Williams
slapped another 2-run knock,
this time to center, to get Henry and Fetzer home. A fly ball
to right got Carr to third and
a wild pitch plated him for a
9-0 edge. A throwing error on
McCrackens grounder scored
Williams for the tenth Cougar
run.
Chad Etgen led off the Blue
Jay third with a walk, advanced
on a pitch to the backstop and
third on a Warnecke ground
ball but could not score.
The Cougars scored their
final tallies in the fourth versus Hellman, sending 10 to the
plate. Fetzers liner to center
got over centerfielder Austin Heiings head for a triple
and he scored on a wild pitch.
Carr walked, stole second and
touched the dish on a liner to
center by pinch-hitter Evan
Williams. He was forced out
by a Gardner grounder. An error on a grounder hit by pinchhitter Brian Mills and pinchhitter Bailey Neuenschwander

RECIFE, Brazil (AP) Now that the U.S. has survived

the so-called Group of Death, its time for sudden death:
the knockout phase of the World Cup.
The Americans play Belgium on Tuesday night in the
round of 16, hoping to show theyre better than the U.S.
team that lost in overtime to Ghana in the second round
four years ago.
By no means are we satisfied with just getting out of
the group, midfielder Graham Zusi said Sunday after the
Americans advanced despite a 1-0 loss to Germany. We
want to keep going and make some history.
Belgium eased past the Americans 4-2 in a May 2013
exhibition at Cleveland on two goals by Christian Benteke
(currently sidelined with a torn Achilles tendon), and one
each from Marouane Fellaini and Kevin Mirallas. Two
years earlier, Belgium won 1-0 in Brussels on Nicolas Lombaerts half-volley in the 55th minute in Jurgen Klinsmanns
first road game with the U.S.
Theyre a top team. Everyone around Europe will tell
you how good they are, American goalkeeper Tim Howard said. Theyve got so many good players, young players,
strong, fast, good on the ball. I actually think because of
that we match up well with them, but well see.
Howard was a teammate at Everton last season with
Belgiums Romelu Lukaku and Mirallas, and played on the
Toffees with Fellaini before the bushy-haired forward transferred to Manchester United last summer. The Red Devils,
seeded in Decembers draw and ranked 11th, are at their
first major tournament since the 2002 World Cup, where
they lost in the second round to eventual champion Brazil.
While the U.S. defeated Ghana 2-1 and drew Portugal
2-2 to advance on a goal-difference tiebreaker against the
Portuguese, Belgium beat Algeria 2-1, Russia 1-0 and South
Korea 1-0.
It gives us so much confidence to get those nine points
with only 10 men and prepare for the Americans in that
mood, defender Jan Vertonghen said Sunday after scoring
the only goal as Belgium finished a man short.
The U.S., which reached the knockout stage of consecutive World Cups for the first time, returned to its Sao Paulo
base Thursday night and looked forward to four days off before playing the Belgians in Salvador. The winner advances
to a quarterfinal against Argentina or Switzerland.
Were excited about trying to go further than we did last
World Cup and getting past this first game (of the knockout
rounds), captain Clint Dempsey said.

Manziel: I dont think Im doing anything wrong

BY TOM WITHeRS
AP Sports Writer
BEREA, Ohio (AP) Johnnys gonna play
and Johnnys gonna party.
Tired of scrutiny about how he spends his
weekends away from football and drained by
the spotlight that follows him, Browns rookie
quarterback Johnny Manziel said he has no
plans to tone down his lifestyle.
I dont think Im doing anything wrong,
he said.
Speaking at a PLAY 60 event with other
AFC rookies, Manziel said hes been bothered
by recent criticism about his behavior.
Since being drafted by the Browns in the
first round in May, Manziels weekend adventures hanging out poolside with Patriots
tight end Rob Gronkowski in Las Vegas, photographed on a swan raft while drinking champagne, shown in a video talking into a stack of
money as if it were a phone have added to
the legend of Johnny Football.
Manziel understands it may not be a good
look, but hes not a party animal.
Im going out, he said. Everybody goes
out on the weekends and enjoys their life and
lives their life. And just for them, they dont
have people that when they walk into a place
pull out their phones and all they want to do is
follow me around and record everything. My

situation is unique and different and now more

than ever Ive seen that its an every weekend
thing wherever Im at whether its in Cleveland on a weekend, or in Dallas or anywhere
on a weekend, people want to record what Im
doing because they think its a story.
Everybody goes out and has fun. Everybody goes out and does that and Im not doing anything thats putting myself in a harmful
situation.
In the past few days, Hall of Famers Emmitt
Smith, Joe Montana and Warren Moon have
all said Manziel should focus on his playing
career, and it might help if he curtailed some
of the other stuff.
Manziel respects the opinions of the legends, but says some of the media reports about
him have been distorted.
Just whats getting out on social media
doesnt mean thats all Im doing in my life,
he said. Just my weekends arent what Im
doing, seven days a week. Thats two days out
of the week and theres five to six other days
when Im here at this building going through
my playbook and working out just like every
other rookie, so nothing that Im doing on the
weekends is affecting my job.
Manziel spent the morning throwing
touchdown passes to wide-eyed youngsters,
who were thrilled to be around him. Manziel
greeted each with a high-five or handshake

and Whats up? As they put the kids through

some drills, the Browns other rookies enjoyed
giving Manziel a hard time about his celebrity.
Which one of us is Johnny Manziel? linebacker Chris Kirksey asked one group.
Manziel said the endless attention on him
has made things tougher for teammates, who
have been asked for their take on all things
Johnny.
Theyre tired of that, he said. Theyre
tired of the hype. Im tired of it as well. I want
to wake up one week and not have my name
going through something and Im working on
getting better at that. But if I want to go home
and spend time with my friends or go out on
my weekends, I absolutely have the right to do
that.
Browns coach Mike Pettine has said the
team will not intervene with Manziel or any
of Clevelands players as long as theyre not
involved in criminal activity and its not affecting their work.
Manziel said the Browns have not told him
to cool it.
Im not going to change who I am for anybody, he said. Im growing up and continuing to learn from my mistakes and trying not
to make the same ones over and over again, but
am I going to live in a shell or am I just going
to hide from everybody and not do anything?
Im very committed to football. Im com-

mitted to my job, but on the weekends, Im going to enjoy my time off. We deserve it. We
work hard here. I am going to enjoy my time
off. Im very about football and very about my
job, which doesnt get reported or wont get reported, but I am going to enjoy my time off.

Top pick Wiggins joins

Cavs with lofty goals
BY toM WItHeRS
AP Sports Writer
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) As
his talented son, Andrew, was presented
with his new wine-and-gold Cavaliers
jersey, Mitchell Wiggins finally let go of
some painful memories.
This is it, he thought, his second
chance, another shot at an NBA career
broken in a haze of cocaine abuse.
His son is the No. 1 overall pick, and
Mitchell Wiggins is now unburdened by
guilt, embarrassment and disappointment. Hes whole again.
It just gives me closure, said Mitchell Wiggins, who was suspended for two
full seasons with Houston in the 1980s
for drugs. Im able to let go of maybe
some of the things I was feeling when I
left the league and I can sleep better now.
This is a big moment.
The Cavaliers introduced Andrew
Wiggins on Friday, one day after the
team ended weeks of public debate and
internal discussion by selecting the slender small forward from Kansas first in
the NBA draft. Wiggins, who probably
would have also been chosen before anyone else a year ago, began his news conference by saying his personal expectations are as high as what the Cavaliers
believe he can attain.
The 19-year-old with the 44-inch vertical jump plans to soar.
I just want to come in, create an
impact right off the bat, offensively and
defensively, bring the team to the next
level and just be a good teammate, be a
good part of the organization, he said.
I want to be on the All-Defensive team,
be Rookie of the Year, make the All-Star

team, all that type of stuff.

Those comments made new Cavs
coach David Blatt smile.
We didnt bring Andrew in here for
a year, Blatt said. This isnt a one-anddone. This is a career player.
Mitchell Wiggins trained his youngest
son well. Once Andrew was old enough
to dribble, Wiggins began showing him
how to play the game especially on
defense.
I taught him how to guard multiple
positions, he said. How to guard a scorer, how to guard a driver. He understands
defensively what he needs to do and he
cherishes defense.
Wiggins also educated Andrew and
his talented brothers, Mitchell and Nick,
on the pitfalls of life as a pro athlete.
Everybody knows my history, Wiggins said.
Caught up in an addiction he had trouble shaking, he threw away so much of
what he had, and in the process hurt himself, his family and his Rockets teammates. After playing in the NBA finals in
1986, his career nose-dived and it would
take him two years to recover.
When you play with Hakeem (Olajuwon) and Ralph Sampson, youve got to
make sacrifices, Wiggins said. Theyre
big men and they demand the ball. I was
a good player, a good fit with them and I
feel like I let them down when I had my
issues. I should have played eight to 10
years with them.
Wiggins isnt worried about Andrew
getting derailed. He and his wife, Marita, a two-time Olympic silver medalwinning sprinter for Canada, have raised
their children to work hard so they get

the most of the athletic gifts theyve been
given.
Andrew Wiggins isnt a slacker.
He walks his walk and hes always
been a kid who listens and tries to do
the right thing, Mitchell Wiggins said.
I hope he stays true to who he is and
stays grounded. He wants to be a Hall of
Famer. Hall of Famers work harder than
anyone else and make the most sacrifice.
I think hes willing to do that.
Everybody knows hes got talent, but
youve got to put the work ethic with the
talent and youve got to make some internal sacrifices. I think hes going to do
that.

ROCKFORD In an effort to unite current and former

members of the Parkway football community, Panther head

VW Elks hosts pony

league cookout

Keselowski earns Kentucky pole

BY GaRY B. GRaVeS
AP Sports Writer
SPARTA, Ky. (AP)
Brad Keselowski couldnt
stick around long to discuss
his track-record pole speed
for Saturday nights Sprint
Cup Series race at Kentucky
Speedway.
After all, he had to jump
in another Ford he drove to
the pole for Friday nights Nationwide Series race just hours
before.
It was that kind of the day
for the 2012 NASCAR champion, who had a lap at 188.791
mph the third knockout qualifying segment to take the pole

for the 400-mile race. Keselowski earned his third pole

this season and the sixth of his
career.
I thought we were all going to be a lot slower, so I was
a little bit surprised by the
speeds that were ran, Keselowski said. But (crew chief)
Paul (Wolfe) did a good job
working on and adjusting the
car and getting it to where I
wanted it and they hit what I
wanted.
A day in which 23 drivers broke Dale Earnhardt Jr.s
year-old mark of 183.636 mph
in the first round of qualifying
alone ended with the 2012 race
winner shattering it by more

than 5 mph. Keselowski overtook Penske Racing teammate

Joey Logano, who turned a
final lap of 187.175 after blasting the record in each of the
first two rounds.
Loganos effort wouldnt
have been shocking had he
held on, considering he won
the Las Vegas pole and has
started 13 of 16 races in the
top 10, one more than his
teammate. In any event, Penske earned its third front-row
sweep this season.
I wouldnt say were destroying them, I think a lot
of it is in the cars, to be honest with you, said Logano, a
two-time winner this season.

I feel like our cars have just

been fast.
Points leader Jeff Gordon
will start third in a Chevy,
salvaging a session in which
Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson (25th)
and Earnhardt (29th) didnt
survive the first round while
Kasey Kahne (20th) was
knocked out in the second.
Denny Hamlin was fourth
in a Toyota.
Kevin Harvick will start
fifth alongside rookie Kyle
Larson, whose 186.034 in a
Chevy helped the manufacturer claim eight of the top 12
spots.

Novak Djokovic of Serbia shouts in pain after falling onto the court during the
mens singles match against Gilles Simon of France at the All England Lawn
Tennis Championships in London, Friday, June 27, 2014. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)

BY StepHeN WILSoN
AP Sports Writer
LONDON (AP) Novak Djokovic lay
crumpled on Centre Court, clutching his upper
left arm and grimacing. He felt something pop
and feared the worst.
Djokovic had lunged for a shot behind the
baseline, tumbled on the grass and rolled over
twice, his racket flying from his hand. His new
coach, Boris Becker, stood in the players box
and looked on gravely.
Slowly, Djokovic rose from the turf, still
holding his arm across his chest and made his
way to his chair.
When I stood up, I felt that click or pop,
whatever you call it, he said later. I feared
maybe it might be a dislocated shoulder or
something like that.
It wasnt.
After a medical timeout and treatment from
a trainer, the top-seeded Djokovic needed just
four more games to complete a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4
win over Frances Gilles Simon on Friday,
sending him into the fourth round and keeping
alive his bid for a second Wimbledon title and
seventh Grand Slam championship.
Luckily there is nothing damaged,
Djokovic said. I just came from the doctors
office, ultrasound. Its all looking good. Im
quite confident that it will not affect my physical state or regimen or daily routine. I think its
going to be fine.
Djokovic will have two days off before an
intriguing matchup Monday against another
Frenchman, the free-swinging 14th-seeded JoWilfried Tsonga.
They told me usually in these kind of particular cases you might feel soreness in the
next couple of days, Djokovic said. But I can
play around with practices and recovery and
see how it goes. But Im quite confident its going to be all right for next one.
He felt all right enough to joke that he had

talked to Becker about improving his style.

We obviously need to work on my diving volleys, learning how to fall down on the
court, he said. Im not very skillful in that.
Djokovics injury scare came on a day that
also featured the elimination of second-seeded
woman Li Na and a three-set, 2 -hour Centre Court battle between two former female
champions with 2011 winner Petra Kvitova
overcoming five-time champ Venus Williams
5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5.
Defending mens champion Andy Murray,
who hasnt dropped a set this week, extended
his winning streak at the All England Club to
16 matches by beating Roberto Bautista Agut
of Spain 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. The streak goes back to
his gold-medal run at the 2012 London Olympics, which was played at Wimbledon.
No. 6 Tomas Berdych, runner-up at Wimbledon four years ago, became the highest-seeded
man to go out so far when he fell to No. 26
Marin Cilic 7-6 (5) 6-4, 7-6 (6) in match that
finished in near darkness at 9:36 p.m. Berdych,
who had called for play to be suspended because of the fading light, hit a forehand long
on the second match point. Cilic finished with
20 aces.
Li, the Australian Open champion, fell 7-6
(5), 7-6 (5) to 43rd-ranked Barbora Zahlavova
Strycova of the Czech Republic in the first major upset of the tournament. Since winning her
second Grand Slam title in Melbourne in January, Li has lost in the first round of the French
Open and now failed to reach the second week
at Wimbledon.
Li double-faulted on match point after
the point was replayed when she won a challenge on a forehand that had been called out.
Joining Kvitova and Zahlavova Strycova in
the fourth round were two other Czechs, Lucie Safarova and Tereza Smitkova the first
time in the Open era four Czech women have
reached the final 16 at a Grand Slam.

Fear of voting
grips Senate
Democratic
leaders
WASHINGTON (AP)
A fear of voting has gripped
Democratic leaders in the
Senate, slowing the chambers
modest productivity this election season to a near halt.
With control of the Senate at risk in November, leaders are going to remarkable
lengths to protect endangered
Democrats from casting tough
votes and to deny Republicans
legislative victories in the
midst of the campaign. The
phobia means even bipartisan
legislation to boost energy
efficiency,
manufacturing,
sportsmens rights and more
could be scuttled.
The Senates masters of
process are finding a variety
of ways to shut down debate.
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., now is
requiring an elusive 60-vote
supermajority to deal with
amendments to spending
bills, instead of the usual
simple majority, a step that
makes it much more difficult
to put politically sensitive
matters into contention. This
was a flip from his approach
to Obama administration
nominees, when he decided
most could be moved ahead
with a straight majority instead of the 60 votes needed
before.
Reids principal aim in setting the supermajority rule for
spending amendments was to
deny archrival Sen. Mitch McConnell a win on protecting
his home state coal industry
from new regulations limiting
carbon emissions from existing power plants. McConnell,
the Senate Republican leader,
faces a tough re-election in
Kentucky.

STORY OF THE DAY

Minority voters
flexing muscle
after Cochran win

BEIRUT (AP) The Syrian

rebels that the U.S. now wants to
support are in poor shape, on the
retreat from the radical al-Qaida
breakaway group that has swept
over large parts of Iraq and Syria,
with some rebels giving up the
fight. It is not clear whether the
new U.S. promise to arm them
will make a difference.
Some, more hard-line Syrian
fighters are bending to the winds
and joining the radicals.
The Obama administration
is seeking $500 million to train
and arm what it calls moderate
factions among the rebels, a far
larger project than a quiet CIAled effort in Jordan that has been
training a few hundreds fighters
a month. But U.S. officials say
it will take a year to get the new
program fully underway. The
U.S. also faces the difficult task
of what constitutes a moderate
rebel in a movement dominated
by Islamist ideologies.
Opposition activists complain
that after long hesitating to arm
the rebellion to topple Syrian
President Bashar Assad their
main goal the United States
is now enlisting them against the
Islamic State out of its own interests. They have long argued that
the group, which aims to create a
radical Islamic enclave bridging
Syria and Iraq, was only able to
gain such power in Syria because
more moderate forces were not
given international support.

By JESSE J. HOLLAND
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Thad Cochrans GOP primary victory, thanks in part to black Mississippians who
turned out to vote for him, exemplifies a new math that politicians of all persuasions may be forced to learn as this countrys voting population slowly changes complexion.
Cochrans campaign courted black voters, perceiving their
unhappiness with his tea party-supported opponent, Chris
McDaniel, and his anti-government rhetoric and scathing
criticisms of President Barack Obama. Blacks responded by
turning out to help give Cochran an almost 7,000-vote win.
The use of Mississippis open primary to further their agenda
showed political maturity by black voters and debunked a
longstanding belief that they obediently vote Democratic and
not according to their own interests.
They turned out for a primary runoff with no Democratic
candidate involved. And they voted Republican even though
the smart play for the Democrats would have been to usher
McDaniel to victory and create a more winnable contest for
Democrat Travis Childers in November.
I think that Thad Cochran is a shot across the bow to be
felt for a long time, said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was
the first minority presidential candidate to win a statewide
primary or caucus in 1984 and 1988. You cannot win in the
new South or win in national elections with all-white primaries. This is a new America today.
Tests of this assertion are coming next month in Alabama and Georgia, also Southern states with large minority
populations and open primaries. The Mississippi race may

Jackson, Miss. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File)
be a harbinger of more strategic voting for minority voters,
especially African Americans, said DAndra Orey, a political science professor at Jackson State University in Jackson,
Mississippi.
This is not a one-time situation, Orey said. Blacks do
recognize their power in the vote, and in this particular case,
blacks saw that they could actually defeat or be a strong influence in defeating McDaniel.
In Mississippi, which is 38 percent black and on track to
become the countrys first majority-black state, some black
voters said they planned to support Cochran, a six-term incumbent, again in November. Others said they would keep
their options open in November or vote for the Democrat,
even though they considered Cochran a better choice than
McDaniel in the red state.
I just think that McDaniel did as much for the Cochran
turnout in the black community as Cochran people did, said
Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, Mississippis sole black
congressman.

Ga. schools resist arming teachers despite new law

ATLANTA (AP) Georgia school leaders are turning down a new option to
arm teachers, arguing that it
doesnt make kids any safer
and creates more problems
than state lawmakers intended
to solve.

A string of attacks at
schools and colleges in California, Oregon and Washington state hasnt swayed education officials who say bluntly
that they dont believe guns
belong in schools.
We could give (teachers)
all the training in the world as
to how to a shoot a gun, but
knowing when to shoot poses
a major problem, said Steve
Smith, superintendent of the
Bibb County School District.
The folks we work with day
in and day out dont have that.
The provision was part of a
sweeping law expands where
Georgians can legally carry
guns. It takes effect July 1

and also includes bars and

churches. GOP lawmakers
pushed the bill through during
an election year in the largely
pro-gun state, giving each
district the option of arming
teachers or staff but requiring them to set training standards.
The provisions were similar to a program that drew no
interest from South Dakota
school districts, and education officials said no districts
in Georgia are pursuing it so
far either.
The new law pulled Georgia education leaders into a
Second Amendment discussion they say they never want-

VA review finds significant

and chronic failures
WASHINGTON (AP) In a scathing appraisal, a review
ordered by President Barack Obama of the troubled Veterans
Affairs health care system concludes that medical care for
veterans is beset by significant and chronic system failures,
substantially verifying problems raised by whistleblowers and
internal and congressional investigators.
A summary of the review by deputy White House chief
of staff Rob Nabors says the Veterans Health Administration
must be restructured and that a corrosive culture has hurt
morale and affected the timeliness of health care. The review
also found that a 14-day standard for scheduling veterans
medical appointments is unrealistic and that some employees
manipulated the wait times so they would appear to be shorter.
The review is the latest blistering assessment of the VA in
the wake of reports of patients dying while waiting for appointments and of treatment delays in VA facilities nationwide. The
White House released a summary of the review following President Barack Obamas meeting Friday with Nabors and Acting
VA Secretary Sloan Gibson.
The review offers a series of recommendations, including a
need for more doctors, nurses and trained administrative staff.
Those recommendations are likely to face skepticism among
some congressional Republicans who have blamed the VAs
problems on mismanagement, not lack of resources.
The White House released the summary after Obama returned from a two-day trip to Minneapolis and promptly
ducked into an Oval Office to get an update on the administrations response to the VA troubles from Gibson and Nabors.
We know that unacceptable, systemic problems and cultural issues within our health system prevent veterans from receiving timely care, Gibson said in a statement following the
meeting. We can and must solve these problems as we work to
earn back the trust of veterans.

ed.
School officials were quick
to express their support for
people who legally carry
guns. But they were wary at
the idea of weapons inside
school buildings, despite the
recent attack by an Oregon
teen who killed a student and
then himself at a school and
the one-man rampage that left
seven people dead in a California college town.
At least two Georgia district boards have publicly
agreed not to create a program.
Nobody asked for the power
to arm staff, said Mark Scott,
superintendent of the Houston
County School District. Board

members in the district were

more comfortable relying on
police officers stationed in its
middle and high schools and
upgrading building security,
he said.
The risk far outweighed
the benefit, Scott said.
Even in conservative Fannin County, proud of its hunting and gun culture, school
officials havent embraced the
plan. School Superintendent
Mark Henson said officials
havent had any conversations
about arming teachers, but
will ultimately listen to what
the community wants.
This is one we will wring
our hands over, Henson said.

Familys hard times knock

teen off track for diploma

Dear Heloise: My neighbors dog loves to

use the sidewalk in my yard for a bathroom.
Do you know
of something
I can spray on
the sidewalk to
discourage this
Hints
behavior?
Margie in Ohio
from
Start with
Heloise
washing
the
sidewalk with
hot, soapy water. Rinse well
and let dry.
Then generously spray an enzyme-based petodor neutralizer on the sidewalk. The dog may
keep coming back to that spot because of the
smell, but if you remove the smell, it may take
care of the problem. But you may need to wash
and spray it often. You can check at pet stores
for a deterrent spray that you can apply to your
lawn and sidewalk if you still are having a
problem. Hope this helps. Heloise

Dear Readers: Nancy Geller sent in a picture,
via email, of her black, long-haired cat, Othello,
lounging on the bed. He was a rescue kitten that
she fostered and decided she couldnt give up. To

OLIVE NUT SPREAD

DEAR ABBY: Im 17 and a

junior in high school. My family has recently been hit with
hard times. We lost our home
and are living in a motel, and I
am struggling with depression.
I havent attended school since
last September. However, I am
feeling well enough to the point
where Id like to start attending
school again.
I would be willing to take
more than six periods and, if
necessary, I would be willing to
attend summer school. I want to
graduate from high school, but
I dont know if thats possible.
My mother has never been OK
with any decisions I have made,
so I dont know how to tell her. I
dont want to disappoint her, but
I do want to do this. Any advice
you are willing to give would
be appreciated! ANONYMOUS GIRL
DEAR GIRL: You are clearly an intelligent young woman,
and your determination to finish
school is something that should
be supported by all of the adults
in your life. If possible, go back
to the school you were attending and talk with a counselor or
the principal about your fami-

Whether you can resume studies at your former school may

Many well-meaning family
members and friends have started inundating us with hand-medowns (some ask first; others
are just dropping things off). I
really dont want any of these
items. However, I dont want
to seem ungrateful or rude because the well-wishers seem so
excited to give me these things.
The way I was raised, I have
a hard time turning down offers such as these. How do I
kindly tell these people I dont
want their hand-me-downs?
CONFLICTED IN PHILLY
DEAR
CONFLICTED:
Thank the donors warmly for
their thoughtfulness and generosity, and say you already have
all the things you need for the
new baby. It is not necessary to
allude to the fact they are handme-downs. If the person insists
on giving them to you anyway,
donate them to a charity such as
a homeless shelter. (Warning:
To avoid possible hurt feelings,
do NOT include them in a yard
sale.)

Ranch-style Gatsby has daylight basement

By Associated Designs

The kitchen is open to the dining

room, separated only by a peninsular
counter. A gently curved eating bar
rims the counter on the dining room
side. The Gatsbys kitchen is rich
in both counter and storage space,
including a large walk-in pantry.
Garage access, a utility room,
powder room, and storage closet
are also nearby.
The owners suite fills out the remainder of the ground floor. Ameni-

ties include: a large corner shower,

two lavatories, a private toilet, and
a good-sized walk-in closet.
Visit AssociatedDesigns.com for
more information or to search our
home plans. A review plan of the
Gatsby 30-664, including floor
plans, elevations, section, and
artists conception, can be purchased for $25. Our home plan

Designed for construction on a

space, more than a third of it in the
daylight basement. Wide windows

WASHINGTON (AP)
Average U.S. rates on fixed
mortgages declined this week,
hovering near historically low
levels.
Mortgage buyer Freddie
Mac said Thursday that the
average rate for a 30-year loan
eased to 4.14 percent from 4.17
percent last week. The average
for the 15-year mortgage fell to
3.22 percent from 3.30 percent.
Rising prices and higher
interest rates beginning in mid2013 have made homes less affordable for would-be buyers.
At the same time, a limited supply of homes is available to buy.
Sales of new homes are running
about half the rate of a healthy
housing market.
Home prices rose in April
from a year ago at the slowest
pace in 13 months, reflecting
the recent drop-off in sales, according to the latest Standard
& Poors/Case-Shiller 20-city
home price index released Tuesday.
Mortgage rates are about a

quarter of a percentage point

higher than they were at the
same time last year. The increase in rates over the past
year or so was driven in part
by speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce its
bond purchases, which have
helped keep long-term interest
rates low. Indeed, the Fed has
announced five declines in its
monthly bond purchases since
December because the economy appears to be steadily healing. But the Fed has no plans to
raise its benchmark short-term
rate from record lows.
After the central bank ended
a two-day policy meeting last
week, Fed Chair Janet Yellen
sent the message that the economy still isnt healthy enough
to grow at a consistently strong
pace without the Feds help.
Yellen said that despite a steadily improving job market and
signs of creeping inflation, the
Fed sees no need to raise shortterm interest rates from record
lows anytime soon.

HELOISE
(From page B7)
Try this: Heloises Almost No-Fat Olive Nut Spread. Gather
the following ingredients:
8 ounces softened, low-fat or nonfat cream cheese
1/2 cup nonfat mayonnaise or nonfat sour cream
1/4 to 1/2 cup pecans, almonds or peanuts (chopped)
1 cup chopped green olives or salad olives (the olives filled
with pimentos)
2 tablespoons of juice from the olive jar
Dash of pepper (or more if you like)
Mix all these ingredients together, and store the spread in
the refrigerator. To make it your own, add chopped jalapenos, a
dash of hot sauce or some garlic black pepper. This recipe and
others can be found in my Heloises All-Time Favorite Recipes pamphlet. To order one, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Recipes,
P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Cut up some
of your favorite vegetables and use this spread as a dip. Delicious! Heloise
PUPPY PADS
Dear Heloise: I bought some of those puppy pads when
my dog was younger and was potty-training. I had some left
over. The other day, I accidentally dropped a whole glass of
juice. Instead of using all my paper towels, I grabbed one of the
pads and used it to soak up the majority of the juice. It worked
great! I then just had to go over the spot lightly so it wouldnt
be sticky. Hailey in Alabama
GRIMY GUTTERS
Dear Heloise: My gutters were dirty with grime from years
of spring oak-tree dust. After power-washing with no results,
I tried a scrub-free type of bathroom cleaner. The grime just
melted off. After spraying with a wet cloth, I wiped the gutters.
They looked brand-new! D.C., via email
