Americas driving culture
Do as I say, not as I do
By STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
Many of us exhibit risky driving
behaviors, even though we know the
risks: we answer a cell phone, drive
just a little tired, accelerate through
a yellowish-red traffic light or
speed just a few miles per hour over
the posted speed limit; but its OK
because we have it under control.
However, its not under control
or the accidents, injuries and deaths
attributed to these risky driving
behaviors wouldnt happen.
The most recent findings from the

American Automobile Association
(AAA) Foundation for Traffic
Safetys 2014 Traffic Safety Culture
Index assessed the attitudes and
behaviors of 2,705 U.S. licensed drivers age 16 and older that reported
driving at least once in the past 30
days.
According to the findings of the
survey, Americans attitude of do
as I say, not as I do persists among
many motorists who admit to engaging in the same dangerous behaviors
they criticize as being unacceptable
when other drivers exhibit the same
behaviors.
Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro
said he has not noticed any increase
in accidents within the city.
There was one recent accident
where a driver admitted to an officer
they were texting when the crash
occurred, he said. Accident stats
have stayed pretty stable with 130150 accidents per year. Its been a
while back when we saw increases of
close to 300 accidents per year.
Many of these same drivers
continue to speed, run red lights
or drive distracted or drowsy and
when asked about their behaviors
in the past 30 days, their responses

indicated:
Thirty-six percent of drivers
admit to running red lights, yet 73
percent said it is completely unacceptable;
Nearly half of all drivers report
speeding (44 percent) when 65 percent said it is completely unacceptable;
Twenty-seven percent of drivers
reported typing or sending a text or
email, although 84 percent of them
said it is completely unacceptable; and

The
librarys budget came in
just under $30,000 less
than 2014s appropriations.
Trustees passed the resolution approving the $883,700
budget Wednesday.
Travel
and
meeting
expenses used for staff training and property maintenance both increased slightly to $1,500 and $40,000,
respectively.
Library Director Kelly
Rist said there were a few
new areas she wanted her
employees to acquire training for and the increase in
the property maintenance
was requested due to large
repair costs last year on the
librarys boilers.
Those were a surprise
last year and I want to make
sure we are prepared for any
more surprises this year,
Rist said.
The library resumed
Wednesday morning hours
and Rist said she has heard
many positive comments on
the added time the library is
open.
Everyone is excited they
have another option of when
to use our library, Rist
added.
Rist also reported increases across the board for
Januarys circulation numbers. The monthly circulation was 18,392, an increase
of 2,589 over January 2014.
The largest daily circulation was 1,150 compared to
925 last January. Fifty new
patrons also registered for
library cards last month.
A donation of $1,000 was
accepted from US Bank for
the spring Art Exhibition and
Reception set for the end of
April/first of May.

Obama asks Congress for new war powers

WASHINGTON (AP) Vowing that
Islamic State forces are going to lose,
President Barack Obama urged Congress on
Wednesday to authorize military action against
terrorists who are cutting a swath across the
Middle East. Yet he ruled out large-scale U.S.
ground combat operations reminiscent of Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Im convinced that the United States should not
get dragged back into another prolonged ground
war, the president said at the White House as he
set Congress on a path to its first war-powers vote
in 13 years.
Despite his words of reassurance, initial reaction in Congress amounted to bipartisan skepticism, with much of the dissatisfaction centered on
his attempt to find a political middle ground with
respect to ground forces.
Republicans expressed unhappiness that he had

chosen to exclude any long-term commitment
of ground forces, while some Democrats voiced
dismay that he had opened the door to deployment
at all.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., also said Obama
had ruled out air support for U.S.-trained rebels
battling Syrian President Bashar Assad, adding,
Thats immoral.
Under Obamas proposal, the use of military
force against Islamic State fighters would be
authorized for three years, unbounded by national borders. The fight could be extended to any
closely related successor entity to the Islamic
State organization that has overrun parts of Iraq
and Syria, imposed a stern form of Sharia law and
killed several hostages it has taken, Americans
among them.
Make no mistake. This is a difficult mission,

Obama said in seeking action against a group that
he said threatens Americas own security. He said
it will take time to dislodge the terrorists, especially from urban areas. But our coalition is on
the offensive. ISIL is on the defensive, and ISIL is
going to lose. ISIL is one acronym for the Islamic
State group.
The 2002 congressional authorization that preceded the American-led invasion of Iraq would
be repealed under the White House proposal, a
step some Republicans were unhappy to see. But
a separate authorization that was approved by
Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks
would remain in force, to the consternation of some
Democrats.

4 workers disciplined after

Panel reviews
Kasichs plans school shooters prison escape
BRIEFS
COLUMBUS
(AP)
Democrats on a state
legislative panel questioned Wednesday whether Republican Gov. John
Kasichs budget could create barriers to health care,
while administration officials defended their ideas as
fair and promoting personal
responsibility.
Kasich is seeking to charge
a monthly premium to an
estimated 100,000 Medicaid
recipients with incomes above
the poverty line of about
$11,770 for individuals.
Those adults could pay an
average of $20 per month to
access their Medicaid coverage, administration officials
said. The plan requires federal
approval.
The federal-state health
care program for the poor and
disabled provides coverage to
nearly one out of every four
Ohioans. The administration
testified Wednesday on the
plan and others in Kasichs
budget before the House
Finance Committee.
The premium proposal comes after the governor
extended Medicaid eligibility in 2013 to cover more
low-income
individuals.
About 492,000 Ohioans have
enrolled under the expansion,
according to a new state report
released Wednesday. Total
Medicaid enrollment was at
about 3 million last month.
The governors $72.3 billion two-year spending blueprint would continue to fund
the Medicaid expansion.
The Republican governor has pitched the idea of
monthly premiums as helping
to drive personal responsibility and making it easier
for residents to transition off
Medicaid to private coverage
when they can.
COLUMBUS (AP) Four prison workers

have been disciplined over the escape last year of
a convicted school shooter and two other inmates,
the state announced Wednesday, citing the failure
to fix a broken security camera and the wrong kind
of lock put on a maintenance area door, among
other lapses.
The punishments, including a letter of reprimand and short suspensions spent working
without pay, were the last sets of discipline
issued following the September escape by the
three inmates, including T.J. Lane, who shot and
killed three high school students near Cleveland
in 2012.
The prisons agency previously reassigned the
warden at Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution
and demoted the deputy warden.
The inmates got inside a prison maintenance
area and spent several months building a makeshift
ladder they used to escape in September, according
to the states final report on the escape.
The inmates climbed the ladder to get on top
of the prisons administration building and then
jumped about 15 feet to freedom. All three were
caught within hours of the escape.

A security camera at the unit where the escape
happened wasnt working because of an earlier
lightning strike, and some lighting near the prison
needed to be repaired, the report said.
A technician received a one-day suspension
for failing to report he hadnt fixed the camera,
according to a Department of Rehabilitation and
Correction letter issued Tuesday.
A maintenance supervisor received a two-day
suspension for failing to remove items from a maintenance access area later used in the escape and for
ordering the wrong kind of lock placed on the
maintenance area door, according to a letter issued
Feb. 2. A maintenance repair worker received a
one-day suspension for putting the incorrect lock
on the door, according to a Feb. 2 letter.
Finally, a guard received a one-day suspension for exercising poor judgment in carrying
out his duties, including failing to escort inmates
into the recreation yard, conducting regular
30-minute rounds of the yard and closing and
securing a door leading to the yard, according to
a Feb. 3 letter.
Portman and Brown introduce bill Rhodes State College

requiring EPA to address algae
hosts open house
WASHINGTON, D.C. U. S. Senators
Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Sherrod
Brown (D-Ohio) introduced the Drinking
Water Protection Act on Wednesday.
The legislation will direct the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to develop and report to Congress a strategic Algal Toxin Risk Assessment and
Management Plan within 90 days. The
Plan will evaluate the risk to human health
from
drinking
water provided by
public water systems contaminated
with algal toxins
and recommend
feasible treatment
options, including
procedures
and source water
protection practices, to mitigate
any adverse pubPortman
lic health effects of
algal toxins. Rep.

Bob Latta (R-OH05) introduced a
similar version in
the House.
By establishing a strategic plan
for clean and safe
drinking
water,
this bill will allow
federal agencies
to better prepare
and prevent future
Brown
disasters like the
one we experienced
in Toledo, Portman stated.
The water crisis in Toledo showed
that we need to be more vigilant in
defending our drinking water and the
health of the Great Lakes, Brown said.
Ohio families deserve to know that they
have a safe water supply.
This bill is in response to the Toledo
water crisis last year which disrupted the
water supply of approximately 500,000
people in Northwest Ohio.

Lane, who pleaded guilty in the Chardon High

School shooting, who wore a T-shirt with the word
killer scrawled on it at his sentencing hearing
last year. He also made an obscene gesture and
cursed at his victims families. He was captured in
a wooded area about six hours after the Sept. 11
prison break.
Another inmate was found within minutes just
outside the prison. The other was discovered hiding
under a boat across the road nine hours after the
escape.
The state has since repaired lighting at the
prison, updated the alarm system and added razor
ribbon on top of the administration building and
other areas.
Lane, 20, wasnt charged with escape because
he has no chance to be released and the families of
his victims didnt want him to have an opportunity
to mock them again, a prosecutor said.
One inmate, who also is serving a life sentence,
was not charged with escape, either. The other
inmate, already serving time for robbery, burglary
and kidnapping, was sentenced to five additional
years.

US farmers expected to see

Conservation Tillage
32 percent drop in income
Conference registration open
BY JAMES HOORMAN
Putnam County Ag
Extension Educator
news@delphsoherald.com
Ed Lentz wrote the following article.
During the winter months farmers
attend various private and public educational meetings for information on best
management practices and new products and technology. Farmers use this
information to improve the profits and
efficiency of their farms and to protect
the environment.
One of the largest of these meetings
is the Conservation Tillage Conference
at the McIntosh Center at Ohio Northern
University in Ada March 3 and 4.
The Ohio State University Extension
Agriculture and Natural Resources
Educators in the surrounding counties
developed and prepared the program
with assistance from local Soil and
Water Conservation Districts and USDA
Natural Resources Services.
Over 800 farmers, consultants, industry representatives, government officials
and the curious will meet each day of the
two-day conference to listen to university specialists, industry representatives
and producers discuss new products and
ideas for agriculture.
The conference will include over 65
speakers and a trade show that will have
product displays and representatives
from over 40 vendors. Four concurrent
program sessions will occur each hour
of the day from approximately 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
Cover crops have been heavily promoted in the area to reduce erosion and
excess nutrients. A whole session has
been committed to cover crops on the
first day as well as the keynote address to
be given by Dr. Newell Kitchen, USDA
Soil Scientist from the University of
Missouri, Conservation Benefits from
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
10 years of No-Till and Cover Crops.

Agriculture has made a serious commitment to protect Lake Erie and dedicated another session on the second day
to solving the phosphorus problem. Dr.
Andrew Sharpley from the University
of Arkansas, internationally known for
his phosphorus research, will present
Solutions to Reducing Phosphorus in
Lake Erie.
The remaining sessions will be
Corn University, Precision Seeding
and Placement and Advanced
Scouting on the first day and
Soybean School, Big Data and
Nutrient Management on the second
day. Over the two-day conference
there will be presentations given by
researchers of major universities from
eight states. Local research will also
be presented during the conference.
Ed Lentz will share the results of his
corn research study that examines the
potential of crop injury from fertilizer
burn caused by starter nutrients.
Jim Hoorman will present and moderate the soil health/cover crop session
on Tuesday and the Solutions to
Reducing Phosphorus in Lake Erie
on Wednesday.
The Conservation Tillage Conference
fee is $170 ($65 for one day) if paid
online before Feb. 21; fees increase to
$205 ($80 for one day) after this date.
Registration costs include lunch and
breaks. Registration may be completed
at the following web address: ctc.osu.
edu.
There will also be special programs
open to the public before and after the
conference. Biofuels and Bioproducts
Train-the-Trainer will be offered Monday
afternoon, March 2, and an Agriculture
Fertilizer Applicator Training will be
offered Thursday morning, March 5, 9
a.m. to noon. The biofuels program will
discuss the fuel value of corn stover,
sweet sorghum, miscanthes, switchgrass

and other plant species; cover crops to
replace crop removal; and growing a
replacement for latex and rubber. The
program is free; however, registration is
requested by calling Sarah Strausbaugh
at 740-289-2071, ext. 112, or strausbaugh.54@osu.edu.
The
Agricultural
Fertilizer
Applicator Certification Training will
be held in the McIntosh Center at Ohio
Northern University. Registration is
required by completing the form at
nutrienteducation.osu.edu (select click
here for upcoming certification training and then click on the blue map of
counties that include Hardin). Training
is limited to 400 registrants. There is
no charge for the training. However, if
an individual does not already have a
Private Pesticide Applicator License,
Ohio Department of Agriculture will
charge a $30 fee for the certificate after
completing the training.
The Ada program will be one of the
last Fertilizer Applicator Certification
Training (FACT) programs offered this
spring. Putnam County will offer its
last Pesticide Applicator training and
FACT training from 4-9 p.m. March
17th at the Kalida KC Hall.
The Conservation Tillage Conference
is a great program to learn about the
latest management practices in crop production and to network with the farmers
and individuals in the agricultural industry. Continuing education hours will be
available to Certified Crop Advisors in
Crop Management, Pest Management,
Nutrient Management and Soil and
Water Management. Continuing education hours will also be available for
Certified Livestock Managers. Please

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP)

Net income for farmers
is expected to fall by nearly
32 percent this year as corn
and soybean prices remain
low and expenses creep higher, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture said in a report
Tuesday.
While some farmers renting land at higher prices will
find it an unprofitable year,
the statistics are not as dire as
they may sound for farmers in
general, since just two years
ago income was at a record
high, farm economists said.
Its neither happy times
nor is the sky falling in terms
of agriculture incomes, said
Scott Irwin, an agricultural
economist at the University
of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign.
The
Agriculture
Department estimates would
mean farmers in the United
States would see income fall
for a second year in a row.
It was down 16 percent from
2013 to 2014. The report
forecasts net income at $73.6
billion in 2015, down from
$108 billion in 2014. It was at
a record $129 billion in 2013.
Crop receipts are expected
to fall nearly 8 percent, driven by a dramatic fall in grain
prices. Corn, for example,
was at a record high, exceeding $8 a bushel in the summer of 2012, but is trading
under $4 now. Soybeans had
a similar decline. Livestock
prices generally have been
high, delivering exceptional
profits particularly for hog
farmers but a pig virus
cut herds last year and cattle
herds havent yet fully recovered from drought years when
numbers declined.
Even as income falls,
expenses for things like fertilizer and seed are rising
by one-half of a percent, the
USDA said.
Polish farmers ride on Warsaw

to demand government funds
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Hundreds of angry Polish farmers on Wednesday drove their tractors toward Warsaw, where
their leaders were seeking government compensation for crops
destroyed by wild boar, profits undercut by Russias import
ban and new market regulations.
The protest added to strikes held by coal miners in southern
Poland, in objection to plans to cut jobs and benefits.
The unrest appears at a time when Prime Minister Ewa
Kopacz, who took office in September, is criticized as being
a weak government leader. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for the fall and Kopaczs center-right Civic Platform party
is facing a serious challenge from the pro-social welfare opposition Law and Justice party.
Many farmers put hand-written bank-owned notes on
their tractors, to suggest they need bank loans to run their
farms. People along the roads waved to them as they drove
toward the capital. In an agreement with police, they were
stopped on the outskirts, not to block the city.
Radical farmer leader Stanislaw Izdebski left the talks,
saying Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki wasnt offering to
meet their demands. He warned of an escalation of the protest.
Sawicki later said an agreement was reached with other
leaders and farmer organizations to work in teams to solve the
problems that include pork procurement prices falling under
a Russian import ban, excessive costs of milk production and
crops lost to wild boar and other wild animals.

There will be some

farmers that do face financial stress, thats for sure, but
theres also going to be a
tremendous amount of farm
payments going out, said
Bruce Babcock, professor
of economics at Iowa State
University.
The USDA reports show
government programs that
pay farmers when commodity
prices are low will rise 15
percent this year.
Its making it a tight
squeeze for the grain farmer, said Jerry Main, 76, who
plants corn and soybeans on
just under 500 acres in the
southeast part of the state.
Theres a lot of negotiating
going on between tenants and
landlords trying to get cash
rents reduced. Im not hearing
landlords are giving too much
yet.
He said farmers and
landowners realize another
drought or severe weather in
the corn belt could push grain
prices higher and change
things dramatically.
Farmers who own land
with a low cost of production
will likely still make a profit,
while those who rent land at
higher prices will struggle.
Those with high costs will
likely try to cut household
expenses, will avoid making any large purchases for
equipment and will try to cut
costs for fertilizer and other
inputs.
Another USDA report
released Tuesday shows
California remains the top
state in gross farm receipts
with $47.78 billion, about
10 percent of the national
receipts.
Iowa remains second with
more than $35.5 billion in
farm receipts. Rounding out
the top five are Nebraska,
Texas and Illinois.

Losing more Cats heading in right direction;

Musings
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor

The college basketball world lost two of its coaching
legends this week.
First, Dean Smith, the inventor of the Four Corners
offense and other innovations for the North Carolina Tar
Heels, lost his life Saturday.
Then Wednesday, the architect of the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas Runnin Rebels, Jerry The Shark
Tarkanian, passed from this mortal coil.
A few reflections are in order.
For one, these two coaches did things in their own way.
Smith was the one that could get the basketball star,
making his living by getting the fundamental player
that could play the game the right way. They were the
so-called good kids, so to speak, that were good student-athletes all the way around.
The Shark was the coach of second chances, the guy
that took a chance on players that were overlooked elsewhere for whatever reason and may not have been the best
basketball player but were willing to try and get better.
The players gave their best effort for both.
Smith was the master of the Four Corners offense
I know I might get into a bit of trouble for this but I was
never and will never be a fan of that: if you want to call
it passball or dribble-ball, then do so; just dont call it
basketball. As I often have spoken, NO team can guard an
opponent hard for minutes at a time and there is a reason
there is a play clock in football while Sharks teams
never met a shot they didnt like. For them, pushing the
tempo was paramount and holding the ball for 20-plus
seconds was a mortal sin.
Both came from an era we cannot imagine today:
when African-American players were not an integral part
of the game and almost antithetical to it.
I did not know prior to this how important Smith was
in the civil rights struggle maybe that was part of his
actions are louder than words attitude as evidenced by
being part of one of the first integrated churches in his
neck of the woods.
See MUSINGS, page 7
One team seems to be putting it

together for the stretch run, riding a
4-game winning streak.
The other is the owner of a 3-game
losing skein, which isnt a good event.
Jefferson head coach Marc Smith
wants his Wildcats to keep building on
that winning span as they visit Northwest
Conference foe and league-leader
Spencerville Friday night inside the
New Walk-In Closet.
St. Johns head man Aaron Elwer is
hoping his Blue Jays can snap their doldrums but have to head to Michigan
State-signee Kyle Ahrens and Versailles in
a Midwest Athletic Conference encounter.
JEFFERSON-SPENCERVILLE
Smith and his Wildcats (10-7, 2-3)
know what the Bearcats (11-4, 5-1) have
and it is formidable.
There is a reason why they are leading the NWC. This is a good basketball
team; they might be the most
skilled team we have faced this
year, Smith explained. They
have a number of kids that can
do a lot with the ball: handle,
shoot, whatever is needed. They
are particularly good in transition they are lethal in the open floor
because of their athleticism and how
well they finish and what I call helter-skelter plays: offensive rebounds,
scrambles for the ball.
Zach Goecke and Dakota Prichard
are excellent shooters and the Crofts
inside are solid. Mason Nourse comes
off the bench and Id bet hed be starting
for every team in our league. They do run
some nice sets in the half-court offense,
making them more well-rounded and balanced. This year, they have mixed their
defenses up more than usual, using a 2-3
and 3-2 zone to go with the usual man.
The common denominator is their
head coach, Kevin Sensabaugh; they all
have the mental toughness and hard-nosed
attitude he played with and coaches with.
The Wildcats who slapped down
Paulding 64-54 last Friday are headed
by two likely post-season all-star candidates in junior Trey Smith (28.3 markers, 8.1 caroms, 2.0 assists per game)
who became second all-time on the
Wildcat boys scoring list with 1,334
points with his fourth 40-plus game last
week and sophomore Jace Stockwell

for an outfit that brings in a 60.4 scoring
average and gives up 52.4.
Coach Smith anticipates his team will
continue to play at a high level as they
prepare for their archrivals.
Its a rivalry game, so I have
no question about this group being
ready to play; I dont anticipate any
reason we wont play well. Whether
that will be good enough to win the
game is yet to be seen, he added.
We have practiced and played
hard all year; we did so in November and
were doing so now. Before, we werent
necessarily rewarding ourselves for that
but we have done so the last three or
four weeks; thats good to see for these
guys. I think we have been playing and
practicing with more confidence and that
can tend to carry over. It would be
nice if coaches could just switch
that confidence button on but at the
same time, confidence comes from
hard work and seeing the results;
its the chicken or the egg question
of which comes first.
The second is that the kids in our
rotation 5 through 9 really, all of them
but those guys in particular are getting
more comfortable and thus better at their
roles. That doesnt happen easily but they
have figured out what we need for them
to do to win. They have bought into the
concept that if we do these things, we will
win games because of it.
Tipoff is 6 p.m.
Jefferson also hosts Fort Jennings
Saturday night.
ST. JOHNS-VERSAILLES
Elwer and his Blue Jays (11-6, 3-3)
are more than aware of Ahrens but also
know the Tigers (14-3, 5-2) ranked
10th in the latest Division III AP poll
are far more than one man.
He is averaging almost 30 points/10
rebounds/five assists a game. The
offense goes through him; we know we
arent going to stop him but we have
to somehow slow him down or contain
him and not let him go crazy, like he
has done this year against some teams,
Elwer conceded. The thing is, when
you focus so much on him, they have
the perimeter players that knock down
the shots regularly. Now, you have to

limit their great looks because of what
he does to draw attention.
He goes 6-5 and they start 6-6, 6-3,
6-3 and 5-10 and bring 6-5 and 6-3 off
the bench. From 1 through 8, they are as
skilled and talented as any team we have
faced or will face this year outside
of LCC. They are so long and athletic
and they use a variety of defenses to
bother you: 2-3 and man in the halfcourt set; 1-2-2 in the three-quarters;
and occasionally 2-2-1 full; but
they rarely extend full unless they
have to.
They dont necessarily want
to make it a full-court game for 32
minutes but like most teams, when
they get a long rebound or a steal,
they use the numbers and go.
The Jays who lost a road pair last
weekend to Marion Local (8th in Div.
IV) and Lincolnview and sport a scoring
average of 51.4 and 45.8 defensively
are led by Andy Grothouse (16.8
markers, 4.1 boards, 1.5 steals), Alex
Odenweller (11.7 markers, 2.7 rebounds),
Tyler Conley (9.2 counters, 5.1 caroms,
1.3 assists), Evan Hays (6.3 points,
4.6 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.9 steals), Tim
Kreeger (3.5 points, 4.5 boards), Austin
Heiing (2.8 markers), Robbie Saine (1.4),
Aaron Reindel (.4) and Jaret Jackson (.2).
This is the third leg of that gauntlet
with the three top teams in the league
falling to St. Henry (currently 8th in Div.
III) two weeks ago. You look at a game
or a stretch of games and either view
them as favorable or not and this stretch
wasnt, Elwer added. For us, last weekend was particularly difficult. You had
the size and length of Marion Local on
the road and that was a struggle at their
place. However, the double weekend
with Lincolnview made it even tougher.
It was their Senior Night and their
record is misleading because they have
had so many close losses. I really felt we
played pretty well overall in the first half
but, as has been an issue the last couple of
weeks, we did not play a very solid third
period. That is something we have been
working to address and will continue to
do so but it cost us. We fell behind in
the fourth and never could quite catch up
after Lincolnview got some distance; we
could never get it to a 1-possession game.
When you dont play well and consistently against good competition, you
cant expect to win games like that.
Fridays game begins at 6:30 p.m.
Bluffton University Roundup
BU women smack MSJ on Senior Night

By Owen Lugibihl
Sports information assistant
BLUFFTON On Senior Night in the
Sommer Center, the Bluffton University
womens basketball team rode a 24-10 run
in the second half to a convincing 71-45
victory over Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference opponent Mount St. Joseph on
Wednesday.
The win pushed the Beavers to 10-5 in
HCAC competition and 15-7 overall.
The loss dropped Mount St. Joseph to
1-14 in HCAC play and 5-17 overall. It was
an exciting Senior Night that saw Mikayla
Coburn (Alger/Upper Scioto Valley) and
Brenna Kurilec (Mt. Gilead/Gilead Christian)
in the starting lineup together for the first time
during their four years at Bluffton.
After a slow start by both teams, the
Beavers took control of the lead and with it
the ballgame. It was a defensive struggle in
the first half with both squads having trouble
finding the mark as Bluffton hit just 11-of31 (35.5 percent) and Mount St. Joseph was
an anemic 5-of-30 (16.7 percent). Midway
through the first half, the Beavers put together
a 16-4 run, making the lead 26-12. By the end
of period the Beavers had extended their lead
and carried a 33-18 advantage into the break.
The second half began with an 8-point
spurt from Taylor Whitaker (Mansfield/
Lexington) who added to her
6-point total from the first half.
Following the quick start, Mount
St. Joseph never got closer than
15 points the rest of the way. After
every small Lion spurt, Bluffton
had an answer, including a 12-0
run topped off by a Kaitlyn Pennekamp
(Hamilton/Ross) jumper, which bumped
Blufftons lead to 29.
The Beavers outmuscled the Lions en route
to a 44-35 rebounding margin and also forced
the Lions into 17 turnovers, compared to 12
of their own. Bluffton was able to get out of
its shooting slump in the second half and finished the contest hitting 41.4 percent (24-58)
for the game. The Lions shot a measly 26.3
percent (15-of-57) from the floor, including
only 21.7 percent (5-of-23) from long-range.
Bluffton had three players score in double figures. Whitaker and Rachel Beining
(Ottoville) both netted 14, while freshman
Macey Sheerer (Bucyrus) added 12 points.
Sheerer and Beining pulled down eight and
seven rebounds, respectively. Coburn also
added seven points and five rebounds in her
Senior Night contest.
Mount St. Joseph was led by Brilyn Webb
with 16 counters, including 4-of-7 shooting
from deep, and six rebounds in the loss.
The Beavers hit the hardwood for a matchup at Rose-Hulman on Saturday at 1 p.m.
They round out the season on a 3-game road
trip, including a matchup versus the top team
in the conference, Transylvania, on Feb. 21
with tipoff slated for 2 p.m.

Beaver men lose on late 3

By Dane Neumeister
MSJ sports information assistant
CINCINNATI Mount St. Joseph guard
Joel Scudder connected on a 3-point shot
from the right corner to give the Mount a
2-point lead and the Lions held on to defeat
Bluffton University inside the Harrington
Center 57-55 Wednesday.
The Mount, 17-5 overall, 12-3 in the
Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference, continue to lead both
Defiance College and Anderson
University by one game for the conference lead.
The two teams played close
throughout the first half, with the game featuring three score ties and five lead changes. The
Beavers led by as many as six points, 18-12,
with 10:13 on the clock while the Lions held
their best lead of the first half at the 19:40
mark, 3-0. Bluffton hit a 3-point shot with
just three seconds left before intermission, to
take a 29-27 lead into the locker room. The
Lions outshot Bluffton, 50 to 44 percent from
the field in the first half, with both teams converting all six of their free throw attempts, and
each team grabbing 10 rebounds.
A shot jump shot by Bluffton enabled the
visitors to take a 37-30 lead with 15:13 on
the second-half clock but the Lions fought
back to to know the score at 41-all when
Femi Thompson scored on a layup. Thompson
helped key the offense down the stretch for the
Lions, putting them ahead 52-44 at the 7:12
mark. Bluffton then found the accuracy from
the free throw line over the next few minutes
of the game, hitting six straight free throws,
the last with 2:51 to play in the game to cut the
deficit to 52-50. A layup by Ken Kunkel gave
the Lions a 54-50 advantage with 1:32 left but
Bluffton hit a 3-point attempt with 1:10 to play
to cut the Mount lead to 54-53. Bluffton made
two more free throws with 17 seconds to play,
giving them a 55-54 lead, setting the stage
for Scudders last second heroics. A 3-point
attempt by Bluffton at buzzer was off the mark.

Beavers prep for softball

season
By Colton Steiner
Sports information assistant
When the flowers begin
to bloom and the snow starts
melting, its a sign that softball season is just around corner. The Beavers are busy
preparing for yet another season after finishing their last
campaign with a record of
26-16 (12-4 conference) and
second in the HCAC behind
an Anderson University squad
that was again picked as the
favorite to win the HCAC in
the coaches pre-season poll
with Bluffton a close second.
The HCAC in my eight
years has gotten so much
better, said Bluffton Head
Coach Heather Bruder on
what the competition will
be like this year in the conference. The Heartland has

stripped of championship title

Logan Metzger
always been compared to the

NCAC, OAC, the MIAA, and
I think were fitting in thanks
to some great coaching hires
in the last couple years.
Bluffton will have senior
Jessica Kuzara (Flat Rock,
Mich./Huron) back to help
lead the Beavers this year.
Kuzara was one of the top
hitters in the region last year
with a batting average of
.426 and was second in the
conference. Kurzara led the
team with 39 RBIs, 58 hits,
and she was tied for first on
the team with home runs (5).
Along with Kuzara, Bluffton
will have Ariana Muffo (New
Athens, Ill./New Athens)
back behind the dish for her
senior year as well. Muffo
batted .344 with 14 doubles,
24 RBIs, and five home runs.
Shes a tough kid,
replied coach Bruder when
asked about Kuzara and how
she played last year, as well
as how shell transition into
this year. Shes a tough kid
physically, mentally, emotionally, you name it. When
you have tough kids, mentally
and physically, I think good
things happen, especially
against quality teams.
Chloe Shell (Covington),
Brittany Baker (Springboro),
Emily
Kolezynski
(Strongsville) and Jo Bondra
(Highland Heights/Mayfield)
round out this years talented
class of seniors for Bluffton.
With only one junior and one
sophomore, the Beavers have
some promising newcomers,
with 13 freshman coming in
to play. With a pretty young
team, there can be some positives and negatives.
They play with no fear.
They play the game and not
the opponent because they
dont know the opponent, said
Bruder on having 13 freshmen.
Theyre just going out and
trying to do the fundamental
things where I think sometimes
upperclassmen get caught up in
playing a certain team.
When it comes to pitching,
Bluffton has a solid rotation in
place for 2015. Senior Chloe
Shell finished last year with an
ERA of 3.30 and a record of
12-8, including 10 complete
games. She also placed third
in the conference in strikeouts
with 67. Returning alongside
Shell is sophomore Emily
Scupholm (Cuyahoga Falls/Our
Lady of the Elms). Last year
Scupholm had an ERA of 2.60
and finished 10-4 on the season.
Another experienced hurler to
watch this season is senior Emily
Kolezynski. In her 20 appearances, she went 3-3, had an ERA
of 4.17 and tallied 15 strikeouts.
Tarkanian also went to bat for all of his players, taking on

the NCAA them again? a number of times and paying a
heavy financial price for it, including eventually being forced
out at UNLV long before he wanted to.
Smith especially has left a legacy in his coaching tree that
includes some that will eventually surpass his wins number
but to me, that was not what was most important to either of
these guys.
Smith could have kept going and put that number far higher
and Shark never had the chance.
They had a principle they fought for and won in their own
way.
Rest in peace.
Then there is the sad news that the Jackie Robinson West
an all-African-American Little League team that won the
national title this summer was stripped of that title due to
using players from outside their boundaries.
Is nothing sacred?
Apparently, no one denies that the authorities running this
team did this.
Shame on them to the highest heavens.
The children are not to blame but they are the ones getting
hurt and that stinks to high heaven, too.
Of course, the usual suspects weighed in about this being
racist, etc., which I am so sick and tired of.
Is it racist to have rules that EVERYONE is governed by
to try and make it fair for everyone, including your own team?
Heck, no!
We all see All-Star teams going up against regular teams
in local tournaments and how that makes it difficult.
Is it right the adults did this and the kids and their
parents suffered?
No but when you have this win at all cost mentality that
is so pervasive in our society, we all suffer.
The sad part is the lesson that these children were taught
or caught will go within them.
Sad!
The Herald 7
CHICAGO A Little League team

that captured the attention of the nation
and the hearts of its hometown was
stripped of its national title Wednesday
after an investigation revealed that team
officials had falsified boundaries so they
could add ineligible players to the roster.
Only last summer, the all-black Jackie
Robinson West team was the toast of
Chicago and was honored with trips to
San Francisco and to the White House.
But the sports governing body
announced that team officials had
engaged in a Little League version of
political gerrymandering. Instead of politicians redrawing district maps to pick
up votes, it was local league officials
who changed the boundaries that determined where players must live. And
after learning that their scheme had been
exposed, they scrambled to convince
surrounding leagues to go along with
what they had done.
This is so heartbreaking, said
Stephen D. Keener, president and CEO
of Little League International. It is a
sad day for a bunch of kids who we have
come to really like who did nothing
wrong. But we cannot tolerate the
actions of some of the adults involved
here.
The organization suspended the manager, Darold Butler, and suspended the
team from Little League tournament
play until the local leagues president
and treasurer have been replaced. A
district official who is believed to have
helped change the boundaries was also
removed.
All of the teams victories were
thrown out, meaning that the wins will
be awarded to other teams. Mountain
Ridge Little League, the team from Las
Vegas that lost to Jackie Robinson West
in the national championship game, will
be awarded the title.
Parents were angered by the news,
saying their children were being unfairly
punished.
The boys had no inside dealings
about any borders, and I as a mother
had no idea there were any (questions
about) boundaries, said Venisa Green,
who was driving her son, Brandon,
to school Wednesday when they were
blindsided by the news as it came over
the radio.
We werent involved in anything
that could have caused us to be stripped
of our championship, said Brandon,
appearing at a news conference with his
mother.
Venisa Green said the move was
especially disheartening because the
team was part of efforts to keep children
safe and prepare them for college in a
community better known for gangs and
drugs than any kind of achievement.
What would you have us do, Little
League, for them to be killed on the
streets of Chicago? she asked.
She wondered if the fact that the
players were black had any role in the
ruling, something that the Rev. Jesse
Jackson and others questioned as well.
Is this about boundaries or race?
Jackson asked.
Jackson did not discuss whether he
blamed any league officials for what
had happened but in Washington, White
House spokesman Josh Earnest suggested that it was the adults who let down
the boys.
The fact is, you know, some dirty
dealing by some adults doesnt take anything away from the accomplishments of
those young men, he said.
It was a stunning end to a story that
began last summer as the team marched
through the Little League tournament.
Their odyssey ended with a loss to South
Korea in the world championship game
in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
For days, Chicago was enthralled
by the story, in large part because the
team was from the citys South Side,
an area that has a reputation in much of
the country for being synonymous with
crime and gun violence. They were part
of one of the most heartwarming World

Series in Little League history, with the
country rooting for Jackie Robinson
West and a team from Philadelphia that
had Mone Davis, a star pitcher who was
the first girl to appear in the series for a
U.S. team since 2004.
When the Chicago team returned
home, the boys were treated as conquering heroes. Thousands of people
lined city streets to catch a glimpse
of them as they were paraded by bus
from their home field to a downtown
park. The team was treated to a trip to a
major league World Series game in San
Francisco and then a visit with President
Barack Obama and first lady Michelle
Obama at the White House.
Behind the scenes, Keener said, the
investigation was creating a different
story after a coach from a nearby suburb
alleged that Jackie Robinson West had
violated rules by poaching top suburban
players.
The investigation, which was first
reported by DNAinfo.com, appeared to
end in December when the national
organization said it had uncovered no
violations. Officials said they would
reopen the inquiry if new information
surfaced. About that time, the organization learned of questions about boundary
maps involving multiple leagues. The
investigation resumed.
In an interview, Keener said Jackie
Robinson West officials expanded the
boundaries of their league at the expense
of three neighboring leagues, so that the
boundaries included the homes of several players on the team who would not
otherwise have been eligible.
The investigation found that at least
one district official who had helped
redraw the map went to the other teams
to ask that they go along with what the
team had done, Keener said.
They (said) We know we took your
territory. We shouldnt have done it but
will you give it to us to essentially legitimize it, Keener said.
The other leagues refused, he added.
Hall of Fame basketball coach

Jerry Tarkanian dies in Vegas
By TIM DAHLBERG
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS He
couldnt stop fighting the
NCAA any more than he
could give up chewing towels courtside. Jerry Tarkanian
built a basketball dynasty
in the desert but it was his
decades-long battle with the
NCAA that defined him far
more than the wins and losses.
The coach who won a
national title at UNLV and
made the school synonymous with basketball died
Wednesday after several
years of health issues. He
was 84.
Tarkanian put the run in
the Runnin Rebels, taking
them to four Final Fours and
winning a national championship in 1990 with one of
the most dominant college
teams ever. His teams were as
flamboyant as the city, with
light shows and fireworks for
pregame introductions and
celebrities jockeying for position on the so-called Gucci
Row courtside.
He ended up beating the
NCAA, too, collecting a $2.5
million settlement after suing
the organization for trying to
run him out of college basketball. But he was bitter to the
end about the way the NCAA
treated him while coaching.
Theyve been my tormentors my whole life,
Tarkanian said at his retirement news conference in
2002. It will never stop.
The night before he died,
fans attending UNLVs game
against Fresno State draped
towels over the statue of
Tarkanian outside the campus
arena that depicts Tarkanian
chewing on one of his famous
towels.

of 7, your daughter is old enough
to recognize tension between her
parents. She is also aware enough
to comprehend that her father
is no longer living there if hes

particularly if he intends to carry
on this charade for any length of
time.
You say your husband wont
talk to anyone, but he owes
YOU some straight answers. If
he hasnt been in love with you
for a while, he shouldnt have
fathered a second child with you.
Would his feelings be different
if the baby youre carrying was
a boy? Could there be another

woman involved? Your husband
owes it to you and those children
to act responsibly and at least try
to save his marriage. Running
away is not the answer.
In the meantime, my advice is
to talk to a lawyer and take your
cues from her or him about protecting yourself and your children
financially. Doing so does not

DEAR DOCTOR K:
Youve written about who
should get the shingles vaccine, and why. Are there any
groups of people who should
not get the shingles vaccine?
DEAR READER: Im
glad you asked because, yes,
there are groups of people
who should not get the vaccine.
Shingles is a painful skin
rash, often with blisters, that
lasts from two to four weeks.
Its main symptom is pain,
which can be quite severe.
For some people, the severe
pain of shingles continues
long after the rash clears up.
Called post-herpetic neuralgia, this condition can last for
months, or even years. It can
be quite debilitating.
Shingles is caused by the
varicella zoster virus (VZV),
the same virus that causes
chickenpox. VZV quietly remains in your body after you
recover from chickenpox, but
it can reactivate and cause
shingles many years later.
Most adults age 60 years
and older should get a vaccine called Zostavax. The
vaccine helps prevent shingles -- and it decreases the
risk of post-herpetic neuralgia if shingles does occur.
The vaccine is also approved
for people 50 and over. People generally should get the

shingles vaccine even if they

have already had shingles:
The vaccine will reduce the
risk of getting shingles again.
The shingles vaccine
consists of actual living varicella zoster virus that has
been greatly weakened. The
weakened virus stimulates
the immune system the same
way infection with the regular
virus would. However, the virus has been so weakened that
it cannot cause problems in
people with healthy immune
systems.
Still, some people should
not get the shingles vaccine
or should wait. This includes:
-- Anyone who has had
a severe allergic reaction to
gelatin, the antibiotic neomycin, or any other component
of the shingles vaccine. Tell
your doctor if you have any
severe allergies.
-- A person who has a
weakened immune system,
and therefore might be made
sick by the virus in the vaccine. People with weakened
immune systems include
those:
*with HIV/AIDS or another disease that affects the
immune system;
*receiving treatment with
drugs that affect the immune
system (for example, prolonged use of high-dose steroids);
*receiving cancer treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy;
*who have cancer affecting the bone marrow or lymphatic system, such as leuke-

On
Health
mia or lymphoma;
-- A woman who is pregnant, or might be pregnant.
Women should not become
pregnant until at least four
weeks after getting the shingles vaccine. Thats because
pregnant women have a
somewhat weakened immune
system.
-- Anyone with a moderate
or severe illness (including a
temperature of 101.3 degrees
F or higher) should wait until
they recover before getting
the vaccine. The vaccine is
less effective when given to
someone who is sick with another infection.
Shingles is no fun. And
post-herpetic neuralgia can
be very debilitating. So the
shingles vaccine has been a
very good thing -- for most
people, but not for all.

Mortdecai Johnny Depps timewarped, Brit-flavored box office bomb starring Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow and
Ewan McGregor.
Directed by David
Koepp
R
Well, at least
Johnny Depps latest
movie has something
in common with
The Wizard of Oz,
Citizen Kane and Its
a Wonderful Life: All
three of those films,
like his new flop,
were initially boxoffice bombs.
Those flicks much
later found respect
and beloved places
in cinematic history.
Perhaps some new
appreciation may also
be heaped, decades
down the road, on
Mortdecai. But so far
Depps dud has been
savaged by most
critics and has only
attracted a trickle of
audience turnout.
Not many people
have wanted to see
him, apparently, in
yet another nutty
role, with a fake
accent and goofball
mannerismsand
particularly not in
this movie, which is a
bit of an oddity itself.
Based on a series
of musty 1970s
British
comedic
cloak-and-dagger
novels, Mortdecai
stars Depp as the
eccentric art wheelerdealer of the title,
Gwyneth Paltrow
as his wife, and
Ewan McGregor as
a MI5 agent on the
trail of a missing
art masterpiece that
may contain a longhidden code leading
to squirreled-away
Nazi gold. Eventually
everybody gets in on
the action, including
Mortdecais
loyal
manservant
(Paul Bettany), a
competing American
art collector (Jeff
Goldblum),
his
nymphomaniac
daughter
(Olivia
Munn) and some
nasty Russian thugs.
The whole story
seems
kookily
out of time, a farout, swingin-70s
romp plunked down
clumsily in the
present. Or is it a mod,
mapcap comedy run
backward through
the gears of a timemachine blender? Or
a weird parcel from
a distant era yet to
come, when Depps
off-kilter-characters
are worshipped as
idols by a future
civilization?
The
humor,
the
jokes,
the
mannerisms,
everything
about
it is so pseudo-
sophisticated British,
so Pink Panthermeets-Austin Powersmeets-Mr. Bean, so
camp-ily, willfully,
woozily derivative
of practically every
English sleuth saga
and spoofy bungle
caper thats ever
been done, it begs
the question: Why
did anyone bother to
make this curious,
out-of-time artifact
of a movie at all, and
why now?
Depp, who has
fashioned
quite
a career out of
quirk, adds yet
another
peculiar
personality to his
collection. Charlie
Mortdecai, a wacky
conglomeration of
grunts, bleats, facial
tics and a moustache
that becomes one of
the movies subplots
by itself, is a hoot,
but dimensionally
hollow,
and
highly
unlikely
to join Capt. Jack
Sparrow,
Edward
Scissorhands,
Ed
Wood or Willy
Wonka in his hall of
fame.
Its all a tad randy,
but only a tad, just
barely enough for its
R rating. That means
anyone expecting a
raunchy grown-up
comedy, like a lot
of R-rated comedies
these days, will likely
be disappointed at its
relative tameness
and that any of
Depps younger fans,
from his Pirates
of the Caribbean
Disney
movies,
wont be able to see
it at all.
There are some
funny bits, like a
rather novel car
chase, some clever
dialogue and banter,
and what seems like
a total commitment
from the cast, who
appear to be having
a cheerio, cheeky old
time. But the plot is
a bit of a runaround
slog, and some of the
gags require a good
deal of stick-withitone
involves
whether a character
will take a bite from
a slab of stinky old
cheese, or not.
Mortdecai may
not be Johnny Depps
finest moment, or
even one of them.
Its not looking like
it right now, anyway.
But hey, lets give
this slab of stinky
cheese another 30 or
40 years and see what
happens, shall we?

Were 3 slain for their religion or their parking space?

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP)
Police are trying to determine whether hate played any role in the killing of three Muslims, a crime they
said was sparked by a neighbors
long-simmering anger over parking
and noise inside their condominium
complex.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, describes
himself as a gun toting atheist.
Neighbors say he always seemed
angry and confrontational. His ex-wife
said he was obsessed with the shooting-rampage movie Falling Down,
and showed no compassion at all for
other people.
His current wife, Karen Hicks,
said he champions the rights of
others and said the killings had
nothing do with religion or the
victims faith. Later Wednesday,
she issued another statement, saying
shes divorcing him.
Hicks appeared in court
Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder in the deaths Tuesday
of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his
wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and
her sister Razan Mohammad AbuSalha, 19. He pleaded indigence and
was appointed a public defender.
Officers were summoned by a
neighbor who called 911 reporting
five to 10 shots and the sound of people screaming.

The womens father, Mohammad
Abu-Salha, said police told him each
was shot in the head inside the couples apartment, and that he, for one, is
convinced it was a hate crime.
The media here bombards the
American citizen with Islamic,
Islamic, Islamic terrorism and
makes people here scared of us and
hate us and want us out. So if somebody has any conflict with you, and
they already hate you, you get a
bullet in the head, said Abu-Salha,
who is a psychiatrist.
The killings are fueling outrage
among people who blame anti-Muslim rhetoric for hate crimes. A
Muslim advocacy organization
pressed authorities to investigate
possible religious bias. Many posted social media updates with the
hashtags #MuslimLivesMatter.
We understand the concerns
about the possibility that this was
hate-motivated, and we will exhaust
every lead to determine if that is
the case, Chapel Hill police Chief
Chris Blue said in an email.
Chapel Hill Police asked the FBI
for help in their probe, and Ripley
Rand, the U.S. Attorney for the
Middle District of North Carolina,

said his office was monitoring the
investigation. But Rand said the
crime appears at this point to have
been an isolated incident.
About 2,000 people attended a
candlelight vigil for the victims
in the heart of UNCs campus
Wednesday evening. Several people
who knew them spoke about their
selflessness as friends and recounted kindnesses that they had extended to others through the years.
Barakat and Mohammad were
newlyweds who helped the homeless and raised funds to help Syrian
refugees in Turkey this summer.
They met while running the Muslim
Student Association at N.C. State
before he began pursuing an
advanced degree in dentistry at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Mohammad planned to
join her husband in dentistry school
in the fall.
Abu-Salha was visiting them
Tuesday from Raleigh, where she
was majoring in design at N.C.
State.
This was like the power couple
of our community, said Ali Sajjad,
21, the associations current president.
War
Many of the condominiums in

the complex are rented or owned
by students and recent graduates at
UNC, whose campus is about three
miles away.
Hicks had less success:
Unemployed and driving a 15-yearold car, his wife said hes been
studying to become a paralegal.
Hicks, a Second Amendment
rights advocate with a concealed
weapons permit, often complained
about both Christians and Muslims
on his Facebook page. Some call
me a gun toting Liberal, others call
me an open-minded Conservative,
Hicks wrote.
Imad Ahmad, who lived in the
condo where his friends were killed
until Barakat and Mohammed were
married in December, said Hicks
complained about once a month
that the two men were parking in
a visitors space as well as their
assigned spot.
He would come over to the
door. Knock on the door and then
have a gun on his hip saying you
guys need to not park here, said
Ahmad, a graduate student in chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill. He did it
again after they got married.

At the heart of the debate,

the struggle to define any role
for American ground forces is
likely to determine the outcome
of the administrations request
for legislation. White House
spokesman Josh Earnest said
the proposal was intentionally ambiguous on that point to
give the president flexibility,
although the approach also was
an attempt to bridge a deep
divide in Congress.
While asking lawmakers
to bar long-term, large-scale
ground combat operations
like those in Afghanistan and
Iraq, Obama said he wants
the flexibility for ground
combat operations in other
more limited circumstances.
Those include rescue missions, intelligence collection

and the use of special operations forces in possible military action against Islamic
State leaders.
While he proposed legislation to terminate in three
years, Obama said, It is not
a timetable. It is not announcing that the mission is completed at any given period.
What it is saying is that
Congress should revisit the
issue at the beginning of the
next presidents term.
Whatever the outcome,
Obamas
request
puts
Congress on the path toward
a vote that could reverberate
unpredictably for years.
A post-9/11 request from
then-President George W.
That will really help with the reception

and some other things associated with the
event, Rist said. The event was very successful last year and we hope its even better
this year.
Trustees passed around items made the
3-D printer on loan to the library from the
Norweld consortium. The printer is on display
in the library and according to Rist, often in
the process of creating samples for patrons
to examine. An open house will be held on
Tuesday and during Tech-Drop-in Night at
6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The material it makes these items from is
Drive

Twenty-nine percent of
drivers admit to drowsy driving but 81 percent expressed
it is completely unacceptable.
According to the National
Sleep Foundation, being
awake for 18 hours or more is
equal to having a blood alcohol content of .08 in terms
of response time and coordination.

complained to the property managers, who apparently didnt intervene. They told us to call the
police if the guy came and harassed
us again, Ahmad said.
This man was frustrated day
in and day out about not being
able to park where he wanted to,
said Karen Hicks attorney, Robert
Maitland.
The killings were related to
long-standing parking disputes my
husband had with various neighbors
regardless of their race, religion or
creed, Karen Hicks said.
Police have not said how Hicks
got inside the condominium, but on
Wednesday afternoon there were no
visible signs of damage to the door,
which was affixed with orange
stickers warning of biohazardous
material inside. A wooden placard
bearing Arabic script that translates
to Thanks to God hung over their
doorbell.
A woman who lives near the
scene described Hicks as short-tempered. Anytime that I saw him or
saw interaction with him or friends
or anyone in the parking lot or
myself, he was angry, Samantha
Maness said of Hicks. He was very
angry, anytime I saw him.
Bush for authorization to use

military force against Iraq was
intensely controversial, and
it played a role in Obamas
successful campaign for the
White House in 2008.
His chief rival for the
Democratic
nomination,
then-New York Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton, voted in
favor of the Bush proposal. Obama, who was not in
Congress at the time of the
vote, said later he would have
opposed it, and he made it an
issue in the presidential race.
Clinton, who served four
years as Obamas secretary
of state and is now a likely candidate for president in
2016, had no immediate reaction to the new White House
proposal.

biodegradable and non-toxic so if children
or pets stick them in their mouths, its not a

The library will have a new telephone carrier Friday. COI, the current provider, is going
out business. Rist contacted Fort Jennings
Telephone and the service will transfer on
Friday.
Our bill will also be $6 less a month, Rist

but Janet (Bonifas) and I will when we go
over the bills.

Cressman.
Sixteen injury and 51

related to driving at unsafe
speeds;
One injury accident due
to the use of a phone while
driving; and
One injury accident
attributed to the driver falling asleep, fainting or being
fatigued.
In Ohio, during the same
time frame, there have been
a total of:
104 injury and 240
attributed to the running of
red lights;
Five fatalities, 727 injuries and 2,201 property damage accidents relating to driving at unsafe speeds;
Thirty-nine injury and
79 property damage accidents
attributed to using a phone
while driving;
Three injury and 12 property damage accidents related
to texting or emailing; and
Two fatality, 57 injury and 70 property damage
accidents due to a driver falling asleep, fainting or being

When it comes to specific
distracted-driving behaviors,
the survey indicates two in

three drivers reported talking
on their cell phone, one in three
drivers reported talking on
their cell phone often and one
in three drivers admit to reading a text message or email.
When asked about cognitive distractions, respondents
perceptions indicated:
Sixty-six percent of drivers said hand-held cell phone
use by drivers is unacceptable, while two thirds (65.4
percent) think hands-free
phone use is acceptable;
Forty-seven percent of
drivers who report using
speech-based in-vehicle systems said they do not believe
these systems are at all distracting; and
Close to three quarters
(74.6 percent) believe handsfree devices are safer to use
behind the wheel than handheld ones.
AAA indicates that talking
on either a hand-held or a
hands-free device while driving imposes comparable levels of cognitive distraction
and is not risk-free.
